an unnecessary added cost. It was their recommendation that said regulation be
deleted and less costly and less restrictive measures be substituted.

Programming and Zoning Commission and oral comments be received and placed on

that a total levy rate of $20.41 per thousand dollars of valuation be published
for said public hearing. In response to a question from Councilperson Angel, Mr.
Burger stated that an affirmative vote on the $20.41 rate would require a second
public hearing. Said levy rate includes a general fund levy of greater than $8.10
and will require special permission from the State of Iowa to levy said higher
rate. Councilperson Dell stated that the public will have an opportunity to
provide input at said hearing which is scheduled for February 16, 1993 at 5:00
p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers. Councilpersons Fox and Lemke stated

Resolutions to Be Adopted - continued
100658 - Clerk/Auditor Larry Burger and Councilperson Buck met with members of the
Convention and Visitors Bureau Advisory Board to arrive at a compromise on the
proposed expenditures for the FY 1994 hotel/motel tax proceeds. Mr. Burger stated
that it was his recommendation that funding for the Civic Center, including
$50,000 for debt retirement, $50,000 for ongoing maintenance, and $50,000 for an
escrow account, be allocated as a part of the FY 1994 hotel/motel budget proceeds.
The $50,000 for the escrow account, which was not part of the recommendation of
the Advisory Board of the Waterloo Convention and Visitors Bureau, would be taken
proportionately from the amounts they recommended for the other agencies. The
$30,000 for the Parks & Recreation Commissions has also been dropped from his
recommendation. Mr. Burger stated that since the City's take over of the
management of the Civic Center, the City has invested considerable monies in the
repair of said facilities, and he anticipates that even a larger sum of money
could be expended in the near future on items such as the roof. The City receives
approximately 4.5 percent of the gross revenue from the facility which will yield
approximately $25,000 per year and employs a full-time person for the maintenance
of the facility. Per the agreement, the Convention Center will pay the City
$12,500 to offset said costs. Councilperson Wright questioned why baseball was
not a proposed use of said funds. It was noted that Waterloo Baseball, Inc. did
not make application for funding. In response to a question from Councilperson
Dell, any excess funds received over $500,000 will be appropriated per the formula
of 1/2 of the proceeds to the Convention Bureau and the rest will be at the
discretion of the Council to divide among the agencies.
Mr. Burger stated that upon approval of said resolution, an ordinance will be
presented to the Council reflecting the intent of the voters of raising the
franchise fees to 7 percent and the procedure for future distribution.
Future allocation of funds was discussed and the need for contacting all potential
organizations that may be eligible for said proceeds.
Terry Poe, Executive Director of the Waterloo Convention and Visitors Bureau,
presented the Advisory Committee's recommendation on the proposed expenditure of
funds stating that the Board carefully reviewed the impact each would have on
tourism and overnight stays in the community. Questions were raised as to the
amount given to the Silos and Smokestacks project.
Sharon Juon, Executive Director of the Iowa Northland Regional Council of
Governments, spoke in support of the funding for the Cedar Valley riverfront plan
and trail construction project. In response to a question from Councilperson Fox,
Ms. Juon stated that she and City staff had met concerning the use of said funds
realizing that the Highway 63 Corridor also must be developed. Staff reported
that alternative funding sources will be pursued for the Highway 63 bikeway. Rick
Tagtow, Director of Parks & Forestry, stated that his department will begin work
on vegetation management and preparing specifications and cost analysis for
development of the Highway 63 bike trail. Although staff has been considerably
reduced, they will attempt to begin development of the area.
Mayor Manning stated that it would be his recommendation that the $50,000 escrow
account for the Convention Center be delayed one year. Councilperson Angel again
stated that many segments of the community were not represented by the Advisory
Board's report.

ORAL PRESENTATIONS
100673 - Councilperson Angel asked that Public Works Director John Meyer respond to an
anonymous call she had received concerning the City's future recycling plan. Mr.
Meyer stated that the City Council will be reviewing a proposal for recycling
services and accompanying rate structure with an approximately 60 to 90 days
start-up schedule. A final contract is being negotiated with Corkery for said
services. He emphasized to citizens that our recycler, located at 96 Vinton,
Street does handle many recyclables, including glass, plastic, tin and newspaper.
Larry P. Burger, Clerk/Auditor, commented on a recent letter to the editor
concerning the City's bonded indebtedness. He reported that the $130,000 of bond
costs is not entirely for insurance purposes, but in addition pays for such items
as printing costs, rating service cost and legal counsel. The purchase of
insurance assures the City of a AAA rating, thus reducing the overall interest
cost over the life of the bonds. The City continues to decrease its bonded
indebtedness.
Moved by Dell, seconded by Wright
that the above oral comments be received, placed on file and the Council adjourn
at 8:49 p.m. Motion carried.

City Clerk/Auditor
