April 22, 1991
6:00 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Members present: Mayor McKinley, Brown, Buck, Wright, Dell,
and Angel.
Members absent: Budak and Fox.
The Agenda, as proposed, was approved.
The People Advocating a Student Stadium (PASS) presented an
architectural rendering and plans for a new track and
football facility at Central Intermediate School. Bob
Freedman, spokesperson for the group, stated that the
purpose of the presentation was to seek endorsement and
support of the program and not necessarily for funding.
Their presentation identified the need for the facility and
its impact on the city.
The group was formulated because there currently is not an
adequate facility for track in the Waterloo area. An
architect was employed and preliminary plans indicate a
6,000 seat capacity football stadium to be located north of
Central Intermediate main building and the relocation of
several playing fields in the area. Total proposed cost of
the facility is $2,050,000, Private donations for the
entire amount will be solicited. To date, no major gift
has been accepted. It has been the recommendation of the
Waterloo Community School District Board of Education that
work not begin on the facility until all money is pledged.
Approximate construction time is seven months. The school
is participating by donating the land and agreeing to
maintain the facility after construction. Traffic flow in
and out of the area was discussed. The Central Intermediate
area lends itself well to traffic flow out of the area with
the Greenhill Road facility located to the east.
Committee members answered questions. No official action
was taken.
With no further business before the Work Session, the
meeting was adjourned at 6:25 p.m.
