Recognition of Week: Life Investors Insurance Co. of America, Frank Kneeland, Jr. Mayor Rooff informed the audience of a program designed to provide jobs, recreation and guidance to the city's youth while helping to revitalize neighborhoods. The Youth and Neighborhood Initiative is intended to focus existing community efforts to help young people while creating new opportunities through employment with the city. The program is designed to involve 600 children and teenagers in 13 different programs over the next six to eight weeks before school starts. The program will include the following areas: youth activities, youth employment, job training, neighborhood revitalization and mentoring programs for youth in need of guidance will be provided by the Black Alliance. Resources include many of the city's operating funds, which will either be money donated directly to the program or pay teenagers to help perform city tasks such as mowing or painting traffic signals. The city has identified $165,000 that can be used to get the program started. This is just a short-term fix, and it is intended to make the program a part of our budgeting process. 103263 - Mollenhoff/Collier that the Agenda, as amended, for the Regular Session on Monday, July 18, 1994, at 7:00 p.m., be accepted and approved.

Captain Michael Beener of the Waterloo Police Department read a statement from Police Chief Bernal Koehrsen in support of the rezoning and the proposed battered women's and children's shelter. Marcia Mullikin, 3830 West 9th and Executive Director of Family Service League, stated she has tried to accommodate the desires of the surrounding property owners. She stated that victims of domestic violence should not be referred to as "those people," because they include members of every race and socioeconomic status. She continued that "those people" already live in every neighborhood in Waterloo. Donna Nelson, 514 Columbia Circle, stated she was contacted as a business person and after touring the present facility, she understood the necessity to establish a new shelter. She stated the current facility is not accessible to the handicapped, lacks private restroom and cooking facilities and eight people sleep in a room. Sue Brainard, a teacher and an UNI graduate, stated she has lived in Waterloo for 26 years and has two children in the public school district. She stated her ex-husband used to beat her and has threatened to kill her. The shelter is the only safe place for her. She stated she has been separated for two years, divorced for one, and that statistics support the likelihood that she could be killed now more than when she was married. Chari Bright, 210 Pauline Place and a member of the Board of Directors of the Family Service League, spoke in favor of the rezoning request and asked that the council vote in favor of the rezoning. She stated that a large number of children under the age of 12 have witnessed their mother being beaten. If the mother is abused, children also will be abused. These kids are confused and need a positive environment. Dan Gates, 121 Persian Road and a Coordinator of Batterer Education Program at the Family Service League, stated he has worked with men who assault women. He asked if the city is going to wait until help for victims is a mandate before we do something. Nancy Habinck, 504 South Hackett Road, spoke against the rezoning. She stated there is enough property in this town already properly zoned for this type of building, and this should not be allowed in a residential area. A concerned citizen stated spouse abuse is in every neighborhood. It crosses economic lines and racial lines. We should support building a new shelter as our fears are groundless. Ted Schuler, 634 South Hackett Road, stated he has lived in Waterloo all his life. He is not against the shelter but would like the council to look at it from the homeowner's side. We want to have the right as a property owner to be concerned and express our opinion and not be condemned because of our opinion. He stated he is concerned about property values and safety in the area. Jim Wheaton, Executive Director of YMCA for 18 years, stated that the YMCA is concerned as an organization to do what is right for the city. In response to a question from Kathy Oberle, 1101 Western Avenue, Don Temeyer, City Planner, stated that a petition from the owners of 20 percent or more of the surrounding property within 250 feet of the area to be rezoned requires a 3/4 favorable vote of the city council to approve the rezoning. Mollenhoff/Murphy that the hearing be closed and the recommendation of approval of the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and written and oral comments be received and placed on file.

Gleason) in the amount of $55,000.00 and Parcel No. 22 (James Lown) in the amount of $60,000.00 in conjunction with Sherwood Park Voluntary Acquisition", be adopted. Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Mark Boesen, Community Development Administrator, stated that 45 property owners have requested appraisals for possible buy out. These two properties are the first to sign contracts. Seventeen offers for purchase have been sent to Sherwood Park residents. Six contracts have been signed by homeowners wanting to sell and several residents have been instructed to search for a new home. Mr. Boesen stated that the Waterloo Community Development Board has designated approximately $1.5 million in federal disaster assistance funds received after the 1993 floods to relocate as many of the 51 homeowners in Sherwood Park who want to sell their homes. Mayor Rooff stated that back in January this administration met with Sherwood Park property owners to discuss fire protection and water service for that area. The previous administration instructed staff to proceed with acquiring the acquisition contracts. This administration wanted information collected and brought back to us, but in the meantime contracts were sent out. He reported he has instructed that in the future no contacts are to be sent out until brought back to council. This federal money was given to the city because of flooding. He questioned Mr. Boesen as to whether a study has been down to see if we can help other areas in the city, such as the Donald Street culvert, and still have money left over to buy out Sherwood Park residents or will the funds have to be returned to Washington. Mr. Boesen stated that Community Development has looked at some other projects. These funds must be used for flood -related purposes. Councilperson Mollenhoff stated he has received a tremendous number of inquiries as to why this money is being used to acquire property when people live there by choice. No one has contacted him to express their support of acquisition of this property. He questioned whether the homeowner has been made aware that the acquisition contract was subject to council approval. Councilperson Jordan stated that he did not feel he had enough information and if we buy these properties, it would be impossible to turn down the other requests. Mayor Rooff stated that people were led to believe that the city would purchase their property. This does not seem to be prudent use of public funds. He questioned if we purchase just these will we have to purchase the rest of the property. The acquisition contract does say subject to council approval. Councilperson Anders stated that he believed it would be in the city's best interest to buy these properties. Councilperson Getty stated that many of the residents living in Sherwood Park probably will elect to stay in the area. He did not feel that the city should spend tax dollars to buy half or three-quarters of them out when the rest of them will still be down there with the same problems they have always had. James Lown, 190 Greenwood Avenue, stated the city made him an offer and he is in the process of building a new house. The residents were told to go ahead and move and now the city does not want to purchase his property. Lynn Gleason, 158 Greenwood Avenue, stated that she had spoken with the Mayor on Wednesday and he said he would help her. Kathy Oberle, 1101 Western, stated she felt some people had overstepped their authority and negotiated with people we need to honor. Larry Moses, 112 Greenwood, stated he was approached by the city that there was money from the federal government for flood pathway people. Mayor Rooff stated he believes the city is obligated to move ahead with the offers made by Community Development staff to residents in the area. Future offers will be put to the council before going out to the residents. Lee Waterman, a resident of Sherwood Park, stated that this is the first time the city is going to be spending money in Sherwood Park and now you want to renege on it. Councilperson questioned what happens to the houses when the city buys them. Mr. Boesen stated that we could possibly donate them or have them demolished. We will apply to the State of Iowa for demolition funds. Krizek/Murphy to call the question and cease discussion. Ayes: Six. Nays: Mollenhoff. Motion carried.

Ms. Boykin questioned Waterloo Housing Authority Deb Collett regarding the property on Johnson Street that was boarded up because it was a hazard as to whether they inspected the apartment. Ms. Collett responded they did inspect Waterloo Housing Authority's one apartment in that building, and if they see anything that is a hazard they would report it. Kathy Oberle, 1101 Western, questioned the transfer of $200,000 sewer revenue funds to the General fund. She understands that the city wants to show Moody's Investors that we have a good cash balance. Mayor Rooff stated that the city has $2.8 million left in the sewer fund. Leon Mosley, 99 John Street and a member of the St. Mary's -Gates Park Neighborhood Association, reported that the group has been walking through the area around St. Mary's Catholic Church for the past two weeks and plans to send letters to the owners of the cars stopping in front of the house located at 112 E. Parker. They have recorded license numbers of cars driving by and people stopping to allegedly buy drugs. More than 70 plate numbers from surrounding communities such as Evansdale, Jesup, Waverly, Marshalltown and even Minnesota have been collected. The group is asking that 112 E. Parker Street be declared a nuisance. Jerry Bates stated that we need to do something about this area together as a community.
