Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Councilperson Getty stated he has a problem with a one year contract, but he
would try it for six months. Councilperson Getty stated that it doesn't say
what projects they will be going after and there is nothing that say how much
they are going for.
Noel Anderson, Community Planning & Development Director, stated there is a an
out clause in the contract where the city can give them 30 days' notice. Mr.
Anderson noted that we will need to continue to evaluate them as we are meeting
and talking with them throughout this process to see if we will need them for
the additional months.
Councilperson Getty stated that Item 6 on the last page of the proposal says
that the proposal would be $5,000.00 per month for a twelve month period
commencing with the date of the contract. Councilperson Getty stated that the
rest of the paragraph upsets him as it says "In addition, travel and related
expenses incurred by us in an amount not to exceed $5,000.00 per year in the
performance of these services are to be reimbursed by the City of Waterloo
without city council authorization". Councilperson Getty stated he really
doesn't want that sentence to be in the contact because there is only one way
that they are going to get paid and that is for the city council to vote on it.
Councilperson Getty stated he disagrees with having without council
authorization in the contract, and he hopes the rest of the council agrees with
him.
Mr. Anderson stated that we can look at amending the contract. The next
sentence says that they would get written approval in advance for travel
expenses. Mr. Anderson stated that he thinks the intent of the wording was that
it would meet the normal standard procedures for approval by staff under the
certain dollar amount or whether it would need to go to the Finance Committee.

Mr. Anderson stated that it can be amended, but he thinks the intent was that
they would not have to come back to the full council for travel expenses every
time we need them to come here to work on a project.
Councilperson Getty stated they may give it to Mr. Anderson in writing, but the
council won't know what it is.
Mayor Pro Tem Reggie Schmitt stated that he believes Mr. Anderson is saying that
they would go through the same process for pre -authorization if its over
$1,000.00. and they would go through the same travel requests as our own staff.
Councilperson Getty stated he still does not agree with it.
Councilperson Getty asked if the agreement with Warren & Associates for grant
writing services for funding from the Office of Community Services Program for
the Logan Plaza development is for Dr. Sundaram's site.
Mr. Anderson stated that it is to help with Dr. Sundaram's site. Dr. Sundaram
has 6.5 acres, and he has begun the first office building so he has the ability
to put forth further development and further offices there as a medical park
type setting. This grant is specifically set up to try to help him and
encourage further development of the area. Councilperson Getty stated that he
is in favor of it as long as it is for Dr. Sundaram's site.
Councilperson Steve Schmitt stated he finds the timing on this proposal
intriguing as we were just out in Washington DC with the Cedar Valley Coalition.
We were just out there and met with a variety of these folks and to now come
back and say we now need to pay them some fees to help us to go back to
Washington DC to get some more of our money that we already sent out there, he
finds a little bit offensive. Also, we just finished going through our budget a
week ago, and we told our citizens that we had looked under every rock for every
nickel and dime we could find. And now we are turning around saying we have
another $60,000.00 that we can throw at this and another $30,000.00 for the
second part. Councilperson Steve Schmitt stated he is in favor of the portion
seeking funds for the Logan Plaza development, but he asked if the city is
equipped to do this on our own with our staff and isn't this the kind of thing
we have been doing for 20 years with the exception of the latest stimulus
package.
Mr. Anderson stated that the city put aside some funding in the budget for
consulting work in case specific projects came up at times like this, which is
where the funding would come from. It was built into the budget in case we
would need it for special projects for special circumstances, and he thinks that
is what we are looking at here with the economic stimulus appropriations process
still going on. There is more at stake, there is more money, there are more
complications with the economic stimulus money which requires more interaction
with federal and state governments for the amounts of funds that are out there.
The numbers are larger and its more complicated as you are looking at the
standard procedures that we are going through for a lot of the existing programs
at the same times all the pots of money are larger. Warren & Associates would
be our consultants to help find where the available funds are at. The
competition is greater so we think working with them as a consultant firm would
put the city in the best position. Some of the major things coming up this year
such as the water bill will be reauthorized, the transportation bill will be
reauthorized and there is still some disaster funds out there, and Warren &
Associates will be working to make sure the city is getting the optimal amount
of disaster funds that we deserve for this area. Normally, the city would turn
in appropriations to the congressional staff and then they would forward it to
the appropriate committee. Warren & Associates will keep working with the
committees for ideas as to how to make the projects fit and what the committees
are looking for in their prioritizations. Mr. Anderson noted that staff is
continually bouncing some of the recent ideas off of them as this came up. We
have a new commercial building that we are working on in an area which they are
helping us to try to find some ideas for funding. They have been working with
the Community Development Department for the Rath EDI funds and keeping that
going. We are hiring them to help us find funds for projects. As projects come
forward, we will be able to contact them throughout the year and see if there is
any available help, just like Dr. Sundaram's project which was started through
the grant process and they will be able to look in other available areas for
funds.
Councilperson Steve Schmitt asked if Waterloo could partner with the City of
Cedar Falls, Black Hawk County, INRCOG or any of our other area governmental
agencies.

Mr. Anderson stated that they discussed that idea with Richard Warren and Allan
Howe as part of the trip to Washington, DC. The problem you start to have is
there is a competitive process, and there is a limited amount of funds even
though they are larger. If they start working for multiple municipalities and
find some money, how do you prioritize which project goes first. Warren &
Associate actually felt it was best to work for the City of Waterloo.
Mayor Pro Tem Reggie Schmitt noted that essentially Waterloo is in competition
with other entities for the same funds.
Councilperson Steve Schmitt asked if any of this is work we would typically be
doing with INRCOG with our agreement with them.
Mr. Anderson responded it is not as this is specialized work. The OCS grant is
specialized out of the Office of Community Services which is a federal office.
Warren & Associates is headquartered in Washington DC and is able to have
interaction with them. INRCOG does a lot of grants for the city at the state
level in terms of RISE and recreational trails, and they will continue to do
that.
Councilperson Greenwood asked if this consultant works in conjunction with
Representative Braley, Senator Grassley, and Senator Harkin to make sure as
these bills proceed through transportation or whatever governing body that the
language is included to fund Waterloo.
Mr. Anderson stated they will be working in conjunction with congressional staff
to make sure that all the questions are answered and that they are getting
information that is needed to help through the process.
Councilperson Greenwood asked if the city does this for six month and we spend
$30,000.00 what is the potential amount of funding that will come to Waterloo
through the use of this consultant.
Mr. Anderson stated that he asked Mr. Warren that question, and their goal is to
bring it back at least 10 times the amount. Mr. Anderson stated that so far in
working with them on the OCS grants, the return has been 20 times. We have
$1.4 million in OCS grants, and they think the rate of return will be as high.
Councilperson Hart asked regarding Councilperson Getty's question on the travel,
is there a way we can organize the last part so that it would come back to
council to satisfy his request.
Mayor Pro Tem Reggie Schmitt responded that is what he was asking Mr. Anderson
to do, to reword the proposal so that the criteria for travel is the same
criteria for our own staff.
Councilperson Greenwood asked if council could move to table the proposal for
seven days until the next meeting to straighten out the language and then bring
it back. Councilperson Greenwood asked if there are any time constraints for
this proposal.
Mr. Anderson responded that if the travel is the only portion to be changed, he
thinks its kind of a minor portion that can be changed. Mr. Anderson noted that
the appropriations process is going on right now, so he thinks its critical for
Warren & Associates to get going right away to continue work on the projects.
Councilperson Getty stated that if the travel language can be changed, then he
will be all right with the proposal.
Mayor Pro Tem Reggie Schmitt stated that that the understanding is that if this
passes then its passing with the same travel criteria as our own staff.
Mayor Pro Tem Reggie Schmitt also noted that the agreement with Warren &
Associates for grant writing services for OCS funding for Logan Plaza has
wording that 20 percent is paid up front and the other 10 percent is paid upon a
successful grant.
Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following
result. Ayes: Five. Nays: Steve Schmitt. Absent: Cole.
