REPORTS
129755 - Reggie Schmitt/Welper
that Waterloo Water Works 2008 Operating Report, be received and placed on file.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Dennis Clark, Waterloo Water Works General Manager, explained that the Waterloo
Water Works is a municipal water utility that is owned by the City of Waterloo
and governed by a three member Board of Trustees: Craig Caslavka, Terry Kuntz
and Rodger Burris. The Board is nominated by the Mayor and voted on and
approved by the Council. Mr. Clark reported that their water sales were up
$390,000.00 last year partially reflecting a rate increase, and their expenses
were up less than 1 percent. Total book value was a little over $29 million
where they had an estimated replacement cost of approximately $244 million. The
major projects last year were water main completion on Hess Road and continued
replacement of the mains in some of corrosive soil areas, primarily last year on
Rainbow Drive. They installed 8,200 feet of new mains which was paid for by
developers. The Water Works replaced about 1,800 feet of mains primarily on
Rainbow Drive. The Water Works has a little over 388 miles of mains and at the
rate that they are replacing it, they are on a 1,000 year replacement cycle, and
the point of resistance there, as it is for everything, is money.
September 8, 2009
Reports continued
Page 8
The Water Works has 6,600 valves, and 3,163 hydrants many of which were painted
last year and flagged, and they hope to continue flagging and painting all of
the hydrants again. The Water Works continues with a program to replace older
non -remote meters with new meters and remote reading devices. Four or five
years ago, they had about 5,000 meters that did not have outside meter devices,
and now they have about 350 non -remote meters and working on that everyday. The
pumpage last year was 4% billion gallons. Water quality was good, with no non -
compliances. Nitrates continue to be their biggest concern with water quality.
Total gallons provided to the city was about 120 million, which was down a bit.
Primary users of water are the golf courses and the Water Pollution Control
Plant, with the retail cost of the water about $131,000.00.
Mayor Hurley asked if its true that even with our price adjustment the Waterloo
Water still is one of the best bargains in the state with one of the highest
quality waters in the state.
Mr. Clark responded that quality is always subjective, but the Water Works
thinks it is the highest quality. They are fortunate that the water that they
pump out of the ground is completely clean and sterile. The only treatment they
do is add chlorine for safety incase something should happen down the line, and
a small amount of fluoride to help prevent tooth decay. The Water Works
approved a ten percent water rate increase for bills mailed after January 1,
2010. The average residential customer will see an increase in their bill of
about 98 cents per month. Mr. Clark stated that they think they will still be
the lowest water rate in the state for residential customers.
Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following
result. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.

Extra Work Order with Howard R. Green Company for an increased amount of
$17,500.00 to perform additional assessments associated with the Downtown EPA
Assessment Grant for Petroleum, be received, placed on file and "Resolution
approving said work order", be adopted and Mayor authorized to execute same.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Councilperson Cole noted it is a continuing issue of change orders for
environmental assessments and Howard R. Green seems to be the one that has most
of these because they have the contract. Councilperson Cole asked what is it
about working in Brownfields areas that makes it impossible to predict what's
underneath the ground.
Don Temeyer, of Howard R. Green, responded that for these projects you test so
much, but you can't see underneath the ground. You dig and find things when you
are working in an area that you weren't aware of. These extra work orders are
to do additional assessments on additional properties because of savings in
other areas of the grant. The original grants signed in 2006 were $200,000.00
each. This money is available to do additional assessments and particularly
these are related to the agreements that the city is starting to work on with
Operation Threshold and the Food Bank, and these properties are going to be
assessed part of that. The other part is additional properties in the TechWorks
area because there were some savings in the grant.
Mayor Hurley asked what prompted an EPA petroleum assessment and an EPA
hazardous materials assessment.
Mr. Temeyer responded these grants were available and the city applied for the
grants back in 2006. It is a nationwide competition, and it was for the
downtown area. That was defined in this grant as 18th Street, Franklin Street,
Washington Street, and Mullan Avenue. To look at the old properties and select
which ones have the most opportunity for redevelopment. Its not just the fact
that they are contaminated, its the perception that they are contaminated. You
cannot get bank financing without a phase I assessment and chances are you will
have to do a phase II, which is drilling and checking out to see if there is
contamination in that area because this is the oldest part of the community and
you have to do research and figure out what was there originally. Maybe its
been redeveloped once or twice already, and is there potential for that
contamination. This grant pays for that so the city doesn't have to pay or a
developer doesn't have to pay for that. It makes the properties available
without that perception so that its easier to attract a developer.

result. Ayes: Seven.

Phase 2, be received, placed on file and "Resolution approving said documents",
be adopted and Mayor and City Clerk authorized to execute same.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Councilperson Hart stated that from the very detailed information council
received the demolition will be funded by three grants, and he asked if the
$200,000.00 from the EPA is the same $200,000.00 listed in the previous two
items. Mayor Hurley responded he didn't think so.
Councilperson Hart stated he has had conversations with folks about maybe the
integrity of Howard R. Green and whether or not he believes they are doing the
work or whatever it is. Councilperson Hart stated he really does not have a
problem necessarily with Don Temeyer and Howard R. Green, but his questions are
more focused on policy. When we take a look at the fact that $92,000.00 is
contracted for professional services and we take a look at last Thursday at the
agenda meeting the question was asked was there an RFP. Yes there was an RFP,
and he asked for a copy of that. He did not get the RFP that was signed
previously to him being on council. When we take a look at the competitive
bidding process he is just a little confused about that particular language and
how the $92,000.00 is awarded to this company when we know competition reduces
costs for cities. He has an article from the Washington Post that talked about
Federal dollars and the competition for those dollars and how there's an
opportunity to save money. Councilperson Hart asked if there is a copy of this
RFP that he can get a hold of and is this a new project. If this is phase II of
that project, then there must be a listing of the various phases of that project
that is going to take place after this. Councilperson Hart stated he has
questions not so much on the integrity of the work being done but our process.
Noel Anderson, Community Planning & Development Director, responded there was an
RFP process, and he can get that so that the council can see that again. It was
back in December 2003. At that point, the RFP would have been for professional
services. Howard R. Green was the selected consultant through a variety of
consultants, and the RFP basically said for design services at the Chamberlain
site. The phases have been somewhat determined by the amount of funding that
the city has been able to receive and how well the bids came in. The last time
we actually had a number of buildings in the order of dangerousness of the
buildings. The bids came in, we added more buildings, we were able to do more
demolition and more asbestos work out there. Once we get this next phase going
the design work is done depending on the bids, which will determine how much
more work we are able to do again.
Councilperson Hart asked if this is a new project.
Mr. Anderson responded it is the same site, it is the same RFP that was stated
before with the Chamberlain site. This is the next phase that we need to move
forward with and do the actual bid specifications.
Councilperson Hart stated if there is an RFP that states that Howard R. Green
actually was awarded the contract by the city for this project and if there are
no compliance issues with federal government for the uses of federal and state
funds in the bidding process, then he is okay with the project and if there is
not ....
Mayor Hurley asked Mr. Anderson if he would produce the document tomorrow.
Councilperson Hart asked if item 51 is Local Option Sales Tax monies. Mr.
Anderson responded no this is TIF money.

Councilperson Hart stated if there is no document produced he does not want to
support it.
Mayor Hurley noted he does not know what Councilperson Hart's intentions are,
but he thinks with no document in front of him Councilperson Hart may want to
vote no.
Councilperson Hart stated or abstention for not enough information.
Mayor Hurley stated he does not think Councilperson Hart could abstain for not
enough information, but that Councilperson Hart could vote aye in a matter of
trust that he will get the document tomorrow because it does exist.

elements, be received, placed on file and "Resolution declaring city's intent",
be adopted.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Mayor Hurley stated that a respected city leader said the other day that we have
been working towards a central human service campus for some 30 years, and we
have gotten closer and closer spurred by the Food Bank starting about three or
four years ago. Now people are coming to the table because of the floods, and
because of the federal stimulus plan we now have Operation Threshold and the
Department of Corrections ready to go, and we have inched closer and closer to
the reality of a central services campus. The platting needs to be finalized.
We have them generally placed in property just north of the Rath Administration
building. Their architects, their Boards of Directors, and their staff have
worked closely with the city over the last three or four weeks. In the
meantime, these good people need to go back to their boards and to their donors
and say this is going to happen, here is a resolution on the part of the City of
Waterloo that says yes we intend to sell or transfer real property to the
various operations. This is a resolution of intent, and it signals future
councils and staff what was unanimously approved in September 2009 so that we
can move forward.
Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following

ORAL PRESENTATIONS
129807 - Mayor Hurley noted that an engineering tech stopped him in the parking lot late
last week and mentioned this, and he thought it was worth passing on because it
is a compliment to the citizens of Waterloo, the motorists and pedestrians. We
did the base layer on Sycamore right in front of the Post Office for a couple of
blocks, and that is a pretty heady area to be working in the middle of the day.
We will be following up on Saturday weather permitting to put the top layer on.
The point the engineering tech was making was how courteous the drivers were,
how patient, how understanding they were, and he said its been that way pretty
much all summer. Great cooperation from citizens and motorist during our
overlay and recon projects, and we do appreciate that as its important.
Getty/Steve Schmitt
that the above oral comments be received and placed on file and the Council
adjourn at 6:59 p.m. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
