HEARINGS

of funding for the Section 8 Rental Housing Voucher Set -Aside for Homeless Persons
with Disabilities Program to be made to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development, as published in the Waterloo Courier on April 7, 1994, be received and
placed on file. Ayes: Six. Absent: Krizek. Motion carried.
102822 HOLD HEARING --This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for
written and oral objections and there were none.
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, stated he has a concern with the proposed 35
units for rental assistance to homeless residents in the city. He does not feel the
units would be filled with homeless "Waterloo" residents. He believes it will open
the door for homeless people from surrounding areas to come to Waterloo in hope of
getting a place to live. Once here, they will seek other assistance, living
expenses, health care, food stamps and other services of the state, county, and city
agencies; thereby putting a greater burden on the local property taxpayers.
April 25, 1994 Page 2
Hearings - continued
Deb Collett, Director of Waterloo Housing Authority, said there is no fear that new
people will be coming to Waterloo. These people are already here regardless of where
they came from. If they do not use the federal Section 8 assistance, they will rely
more heavily on local assistance.
Councilperson Mollenhoff feels the application for the 35 units is a good proposal.
He stated Black Hawk County already is reviewed as a magnate county for people in
need of public assistance. He said people who move to the city are eligible for that
assistance after establishing residency.

HEARING

the garbage/trash haulers license for Richard Neuenkirk, as published in the Waterloo
Courier on May 19, 1994, be received and placed on file. Ayes: Six. Absent:
Krizek. Motion carried.
102857 - HOLD HEARING --This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for
written and oral objections and there were none.
Richard Neuenkirk, 117 Cutler Street, wanted to know the reasons for the supposedly
violations as he has not dumped at any illegal places. He stated he dumps at the
landfill every day and pays his fees the same as everybody else. Mr. Neuenkirk
stated that by taking his license away, the city would be taking away his livelihood
because it is his only means of support. He would lose his house which is paid
through fees earned through his trash hauling operation.
Mark Linda, Disease Prevention Manager for Black Hawk County, stated that Mr..
Neuenkirk has racked up numerous health code violations in the past four years.
These include: storing items salvaged from his garbage hauling operation on his
property, attempting to perform commercial vehicle repairs on his residential
property, hauling loads without proper covering to prevent blowing and loss of
garbage, and hauling of loads without appropriate licenses. Mr. Neuenkirk has been
court ordered to clean-up his property and is currently under a court order dated
April 12, 1994. Mr. Linda said Mr. Neuenkirk has satisfied the court orders in the
past, but the property gets dirty again. A certain history of repetition has
developed.
Councilperson Getty stated he could not believe what he saw in a residential area
after visiting the property because of complaints he received from Mr. Neunkirk's
neighbors and others.
Councilperson Anders stated he was in awe every time he has driven by the property.
He has no intention of taking away Mr. Neuenkirk's livelihood. If Mr. Neuenkirk has
been told to clean up his property in the past and has not done so, why should the
Council believe him now.
April 25, 1994 Page 7
Hearing - continued
Mr. Neuenkirk said he spent the past weekend working to improve the area around his
house. It is cleaned up and it is going to stay cleaned up. He stated he would
agree to a two-week delay in the hearing and not require a new hearing on the
revocation of his trash haulers license.
Getty/Anders
that the above oral comments be received placed on file and the hearing on the
revocation of the trash haulers license for Richard Neuenkirk be delayed for two
weeks. Ayes: Six. Absent: Krizek. Motion carried.

Ayes: Six. Absent: Krizek. Motion carried.
ORAL PRESENTATIONS
102859 L. C. Hennessey, 717 Eastgate, made reference to the Courier article on April 24,
1994 where it would cost $1.1 million to sandblast and repaint the city's water
towers. He suggested rather than bonding for this, the city could seek local
companies to help offset the cost by having their logos and advertisement displayed
on the towers.
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, has a concern about the intersection of
Ansborough And Downing and whether a stop light could be installed. He had requested
a stop light at the intersection two years ago when one of his children was
personally injured. He was told at that time that staff would do a study, which they
did. The city staff reported to him that this intersection did warrant a stop light,
and when money became available, they would consider it.
Don Temeyer, City Planner, reported the intersection did warrant a stop light, and
that state funds had been applied for, and as of this time, they have not been
awarded for that location. This intersection and the one on the Texas Street exit
on I-380 are the two top priorities in staff's opinion that should be funded with
state safety funds. He said we need to file the necessary applications and apply for
the funds again prior to July 1, 1994. He said that staff has high expectations that
they will be able to receive the funds for both sites this coming fiscal year.
Russell Hanson, 3913 Buttercup Lane, presented the Mayor and Council a letter from
the Water Pollution/Flood Control Management Committee in regard to observing April
28, 1994 as "Workers Memorial Day." The unions of the AFL-CIO observe Workers
Memorial Day to remember workers who have suffered and died on the job and to renew
their commitment to preventing tragedies in the future.
Mollenhoff/Collier

102860 - Michael Prideaux, 929 Williston, requested recent information as to where the city

Paul Huting, Superintendent

of Parks, said we have had numerous inquiries from teams,
from the Great Central League which currently is in its
have a college league interested and a Northern League
are being considered by the Mayor's Sports Commission as
as there are a lot of unanswered questions at this time.
Jim Walsh, City Attorney, reported the Sports Commission is very active, and they are
following up on every lead they come across. It is not a question of getting "any"
team but a team that will survive and a team the public wants to go see. They are
looking at the long-term benefits to the city and not just what can be done for the
current year.
Mr. Prideaux stated that speaking for the baseball fans in the area, it would be
great to have a team here this year, and he feels it would be supported, and he is
hopeful it would be considered for the current year.
Councilperson Scott Jordan presented a petition requesting some means of traffic
controls installed at the intersection of Rosebud and Carolina and also Hillside and
Carolina. Carolina Street is currently being used as a shortcut between Kimball
Avenue and Prospect Boulevard due to the six corners closing for construction.
Jordan/Mollenhoff

Street area and refer to Mike Mrzlak to investigate the situation and report back to
Councilperson Jordan. Ayes: Six. Absent: Krizek. Motion carried.

102861 - Councilperson Getty wanted to know what is being done about fishing at the Mitchell
Avenue sandpits.
Mayor Rooff said that they are looking into using 12-15 storm sewer tiles to block
off the area where you enter the leaf dump site and move the fence so people can have
access to the river. The city is working on it and will try to get it opened just
as soon as possible.
Councilperson Getty also wanted to know what is being done to correct the water
problem on Donald Street.
Eric Thorson, City Engineer, stated they are currently working on the legal
descriptions for the right-of-way the city needs for this project. We will then put
the properties out for appraisals and acquisition. He said we have the agreement
with RUST to do the plan and profile sheets for the project. Mr. Thorson stated
Community Development Block Grant now has additional funds available, and they will
need to come back to the Public Works Committee to determine if they want to go any
further than was originally planned.
