ORAL PRESENTATIONS
105335 - Elaine Jaquith, 810 Cornwall, thanked the council for voting to approve the
settlement agreement. The public is really the beneficiary of this settlement.
This will provide improved public access on cable television. Jaquith stated that
this victory would not have been possible without the help of the Iowa Civil
Liberties Union. If they had not assisted with the filing of the lawsuit her show
would have been taken off the air. Jaquith respectfully called for the resignation
of City Attorney James Walsh for his failure to provide proper direction on this
matter.
Sue Blecha, 615 Sonya, asked for an update on the proposed ordinance to protest
movement of buildings. City Attorney James Walsh stated that he has drafted an
ordinance to address the issue but it is not completed and should appear before the
council in two weeks.
Ernie Boykin, PO Box 1438, informed the council that since the news of the protest
against moving houses into neighborhoods, she has received calls from neighbors in
the Burton and Donald Street area to complain about two duplexes that were moved
into the area and are in disrepair. Councilperson Getty agreed to contact
Councilperson Anders and to investigate the problem.
L.C. Hennessy, 717 Eastgate, addressed the issue of the one million dollars owed the
public by the National Cattle Congress. Would John Titler take seventy-five percent
of his pay over a long period of time as he expects the Waterloo citizens to do?
Steve McNeal, 1832 Patton Ave, cordially invited everyone to attend the Midnight
Basketball championship game on Friday, August 11, at Central Intermediate School.
He expressed what a positive experience this has been for him and participants and
the success of the program is visible to anyone involved. Speakers have been asked
to speak about their success and failures which has helped the participants
understand the realities of achieving success.
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Rd, reminded the council of the need for a stop
light at the intersection of Ansborough Avenue and Downing Avenue. Other
intersections seem to have been given priority over this intersection and he is
worried about the dangers to the public. Mike Mrzlak stated that an application for
funding has been submitted and it is anticipated that funding will be awarded in
October, so that the City can then prioritize the intersections that need to be
done.
Councilperson Getty asked for an update on the scheduling of a meeting with the
National Cattle Congress board. Mayor Rooff explained that he has contacted Mike
Christiansen about a meeting and they are willing to talk but would refrain from
meeting until after the new financial plan is submitted to bankruptcy court.
