Myke Goings, 1203 W. 2nd Street, explained that his comments last week were in no way meant to be construed as disparaging to the Waterloo police officers.

Mr. Feuss read a letter from Jeri Thornsben-y, 704 Sheridan Rd., who was unable to be physically present at the council meeting. Her letter explained reasons she does not support the ordinance and wants fireworks to be banned in Waterloo. Justin Bartlett, 2019 Crossroads Blvd. with Crossroads Fireworks, explained that he supports allowing a few days of usage because it allows those that want to enjoy fireworks and obey the law to have the ability to set off fireworks. He stated that he has a store in Bettendorf and they allow a few days of use. He believes that their ordinance has been a good solution for their community. Todd Obadal, 124 Amity Drive, stated that he believes that the council needs to listen to the concerns of citizens and not adopt the ordinance. Mrs. Juon commented that she is conflicted on the issue. Personally, she opposes use of fireworks and that the only people who have contacted her are against fireworks. She stated that she will continue to vote against the ordinance and that if someone supports the ordinance they should contact her. February 11, 2019 Page 8 Kelley Felchle, City Clerk, clarified that the portion of city code that deems chronic firework abuse as property nuisances is actually located in a separate section of the code and is not included in the ordinance change currently being discussed. Mrs. Klein commented that the increase in the fine is a moot point as only one citation was issued last week. She explained that she has heard overwhelming from her ward that they want fireworks banned and that she will vote against the ordinance 145865 - Morrissey/Amos that rules requiring ordinances to be considered and voted for passage at two prior meetings be suspended.

David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, commented that he has not yet received the report he requested showing how the $1.7 million dollars has been used, and encourages council not to pass the amendment. Todd Obadal, 124 Amity Drive, commented that they learned recently of a sewer refund that went to Regions Bank for $20,000.

Policy Issue: Alternative: Approving the publication of the budget estimate establishes the maximum tax levy rate and maximum expenditures by program for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. The levy rate and expenditures by program can be reduced from the published budget estimate, but cannot be increased. According to the State Department of Management, if the budget isn't certified by March 15, 2019, the state would set the city's property taxes at the same amount of property tax dollars as were certified for the current year ($38,984,631 plus utility excise taxes of $1,453,660). There would likely be an audit finding regarding noncompliance with state law regarding budget deadlines also.

Submitted By: Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer ECP -1 - Not to exceed $10,000,000 General Obligation Bonds for essential corporate purposes of said City, the proceeds of which bonds will be used to provide funds to pay the costs of the acquisition, improvement and installation of traffic control devices, signage, fixtures, equipment and improvements, including but not limited to traffic signal, pavement markings, traffic safety, fiber optics installation, and street light fixtures, connections, and facility improvements; the acquisition and installation of emergency services communication equipment and systems, including early warning sirens; the acquisition of vehicles and equipment for the Police and Fire Rescue Departments, including ambulances; the acquisition of vehicles and equipment for the street, public works and sign and traffic departments; the rehabilitation and improvement of City parks and the acquisition, repair and replacement of facilities, equipment and improvements commonly found in City parks; the removal, replacement and planting of trees in parks and public grounds; the construction, reconstruction and repairing of street, sidewalk, trail, alley, public ground, marketplace, bridge, pedestrian underpasses and overpasses, and intersection improvements; the acquisition, construction and improvement of real and personal property useful for the protection of property from floods or high waters, including flood control, levees, embankments, waterway, storm water and drainage improvements; the removal or replacement of dead or diseased trees; the acquisition and demolition of dangerous or dilapidated buildings, structures or properties, or funding multi -family housing assistance; and costs of the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, extending, remodeling, improving, repairing and equipping all or part of the Municipal Sewer System. Page 18 of 195 Summary Statement: Expenditure Required: Source of Funds: Policy Issue: Alternative: We are planning to sell general obligation bonds for a number of general purposes this spring. The new principal amount plus interest will be required to be repaid in the future. Repayment will be made from various sources, including general property taxes and tax increment revenue. The issuance of bonds commits the city to future repayment. The City could choose not to sell bonds and not proceed with the projects. This would reduce future debt service costs. However, other costs would likely increase. For example, a number of the planned projects have been mandated by regulatory agencies that could have financial implications if the projects aren't completed as required.

Depending upon your situation, some questions may or may not apply. Please provide written responses to these questions as part of your preparation for meeting with the Mayor. (1) What are the key job responsibilities of this position? Laborer/Truck Driver (2) Can the job responsibilities of this position be assigned to other employees within the department? If no, why not? The department has similar position classifications; however a reduced number of employees will directly impact the department's quantity of and timeliness of services. (3) How is the work of this position being accomplished now? Reduced number of employees equals reduced tasks that can be accomplished. (4) Are the filled positions in your department currently being utilized to their maximum potential? Yes (5) How would filling this position meet the needs of your department or the City on either a short-term basis (if temporary position) or a long-term basis (if a regular position)? This position is necessary for the department to meet the departmental objectives, i.e., sealcoating, crack sealing, street sweeping, street maintenance, pot hole repair and most importantly snow and ice control. (6) What cost savings or revenues, if any, would your department or the City realize if this position is filled? This position, while not revenue generating, is critical in providing safe streets for the citizens of Waterloo. (7) If you are paying overtime or comp time within your department to accomplish this work now, how much overtime or comp time has been paid out or earned that is directly attributable to this position and over what period of time? The department pays overtime only as necessary, these positions are assigned routes critical to meet the demands of our projects/programs. (8) How has the work load or demands of your department changed in comparison to your staffing levels over the past three fiscal years? Provide statistics if possible. The department workload is multi -faceted, citizen complaints, annual preventive street maintenance, seasonal street maintenance and now storm water ordinance compliance generated. Page 52 of 195 (9) If this position is not filled, what affect will it have on your department? What work will not get done? What costs will you incur? Please be as specific as possible. Should these positions go unfilled, we will have not have the personnel resources to complete the demands and service expectations that the citizens have come to expect. Less equipment operators means less material loads to and from the work site, increased idle time for other personnel components of the team waiting for product as well as an increase in snow removal overtime and less trucks available to handle snow emergencies. It will take longer to accomplish every service required of the department. (10) How do you cover the responsibilities for this position whenever the incumbent is out on vacation? As any position, some jobs can't be completed with the timeliness expected of both the department and the customer. In the event of emergency, CDL operators from other departments are utilized. (11) Is it possible that the City could outsource this position to an outside agency? If so, what savings, if any, would the City realize as a result of this change? It is possible; however, this position is a Bargaining Unit position. As such, a move in this direction would negatively impact the cohesiveness, morale and overall disposition of other employees within the department. In short..... It would cause major and unnecessary dissention within the department. (12) How would you rank this position in tenus of its contribution to City business in comparison with other positions reporting to you? During snow emergencies, many businesses in town cannot operate without access to their businesses. The contribution of this position is critical to the overall objectives of the department. (13) How does this position impact the Goals and Objectives for the City adopted by the City Council? This position directly impacts the department's ability to develop a customer -centered service delivery approach.

Via Rail understands that the CITY has requested this proposal to assist with site evaluation of the CN Waterloo Yard located in vicinity of Waterloo High School. Serious pedestrian injuries have occurred at this location and continue to be critical safety concern due to the unrestricted passageway of students and train switching movements within the CN Yard. CITY has considered various alternatives to curb student exposure to moving trains, such as pedestrian walkways, with significant challenges and obstacles. Therefore, the CITY is requesting support to evaluate the feasibility of relocating the CN Waterloo Yard and switching operation from the current downtown location. One would expect that the new CN Yard location will have little or low pedestrian exposure and safety concerns. The relocation is expected to result in improved safety of pedestrians in the area of the current rail yard, provide traffic congestion relief and overall betterment of the downtown environment. Based on our understanding of CITY pedestrian safety concerns and planning initiative, we have prepared the following task descriptions aimed to clarify our proposed services. CN Yard Relocation Alternatives Analysis: Via Rail will gather readily available internet, railroad, and CITY provided GIS information to use as a base map for the site location analysis. Utilizing the assembled documents as our base map, Via Rail will create conceptual planning level railroad infrastructure layouts that correspond to existing Via Rail Engineering Inc. 14727 Maribel Road, Maribel, Wisconsin 54227 Phone 920-367-2000 fheafy@viarailengineering.com Page 87 of 195 CN Yard configuration and storage capacities, additional designated infrastructure areas for possible material laydown, locomotive fueling, and other criteria obtained from CN Engineering and Operations. Via Rail understands that this safety initiative and Rail Yard relocation will require communication, cooperation and ongoing correspondence between CITY and CN. We anticipate preparation of three potential Rail Yard site iterations for review and analyzing. We will submit the three alternative locations for CITY and Stakeholders review. Via Rail will attend a face- to-face meeting and assist in the evaluation process of each alternative and selection of preferred iteration. Upon your authorization and timing, Via Rail will schedule a meeting with CN Engineering and Operations to review the preferred relocation opportunity and allow CN to provide feedback and support guidelines. Based on CN comments and directives, Via Rail will incorporate necessary revisions to our conceptual layout and utilize this document in preparation of our Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (OPCC) and Construction Schedule to complete our analysis work effort. On behalf of CITY, Via Rail will monitor the project process with CN and maintain communications with the CITY throughout this initiative. Professional Fee Break Down: Task 1: Task 2. CN Railyard Alternative Analysis $ 16,250.00 Prepare OPCC & Construction Schedule $ 5,880.00 Our fee for the described services is based on the Lump Sum amount of Twenty -Two Thousand One Hundred Thirty Dollars ($22,130.00). Via Rail will invoice monthly for actual services provided to date and not exceed our lump sum fee. Our proposed service is limited to conceptual planning layouts, two (2) project meetings, and railroad submittals. We have not included: detailed preliminary railroad engineering, site civil design or final railroad approval and construction permitting. Thank you again for this opportunity to assist you with this project and your confidence in our services and capabilities. Should you find our proposal complete and acceptable, please execute below.

Submitted By: Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Director Recommended Action: Approval Summary Statement: Expenditure Required: Source of Funds: Policy Issue: Governor Kim Reynolds has indicated that there is interest by some lawmakers in raising the state sales tax by a penny to help fund a Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreation Trust Fund, along with providing funding to mental health initiatives and property tax relief. Representatives of Iowa's Water and Land Legacy have said that the trust fund would be important to water quality, soil health and outdoor recreation, as well as economic development, public health and rural revitalization. The Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution of support on January 29, 2019 and we request that the city council do the same and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute said resolution. Attached to this letter is the resolution passed by Black Hawk County and how the City of Waterloo should word their resolution and a news article from the Cedar Rapids Gazette.

Kim Reynolds says all's "quiet" on the water quality front so far this legislative session. But maybe that's because all the action is happening behind the scenes. Reynolds told The Gazette's editorial board this past week there are lawmakers interested in raising the state sales tax by a penny, with the first three- eighths of that cent going to fill the Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreation Trust Fund created by voters in 2010. The other five-eighths could be used to pay for mental health programs currently funded by local property taxes. Property tax relief is a priority for the Republican -controlled Legislature. And not just lawmakers are interested. "I know there's some interest by some legislators, I said I would be interested in it," said Reynolds, who added she hasn't been in on discussions and hasn't seen details of the proposal. "Those discussions continue to happen. 1 don't know where they'll go this year. I can't get a good sense of that right now," Reynolds said. "Not opposed to it. I'm willing to be part of the conversation. But that may be something we really focus on in the interim if it doesn't get done this year." I, too, have heard rumors of grand bargains being cooked up on the sales tax front. But this is the first Page 92 of 195 https://www.thegazette.com/subject/opinion/staff columnist/iowa-governor-kim-reynolds-... 2/13/2019 Reynolds is 'interested' in a trust fund tax deal 1 The Gazette Page 2 of 8 time I've heard the governor suggest she's interested, bordering on supportive. It's true, our Golden Dome of Wisdom is the state's leading producer of trial balloons, as well as darts. Maybe this is a balloon that can catch a surprisingly strong updraft, but Republican legislatures usually aren't all that into tax increases. It could simply be that something's got to give. It's been more than eight years since Iowa voters approved a constitutional amendment creating the trust fund. It's been sitting empty ever since as skittish lawmakers and governors ducked the notion of a tax increase to fill it. The three-eighths cent would raise upward of $180 million for water quality, conservation and outdoor recreation.

Filling the fund is a popular idea, according to polls. Maybe 2019 is the year opposition finally breaks. That could be good news for those of us who want a stable, dedicated and sizable source of funding for measures keeping fertilizer -laden runoff from rushing into waterways. It's the sort of funding stream that could make a difference. I say "could" because we don't know the details. Devils, there within. One big detail is the funding formula, also known as the statute that spells out how trust fund dollars would be spent. The one currently on the books was created by a large group of environmental, agricultural and conservation stakeholders more than a decade ago. It was approved by lawmakers, which means the Legislature can change it. If lawmakers move toward a sales tax increase, there will be calls to change the formula and put more dollars into farm -based water quality projects and much less, or nothing, into trails, parks and other outdoor recreation uses. The Iowa Farm Bureau will be at the center of a formula debate. It hasn't been supportive of the fund or the push to fill it, but if it's going to happen, the Farm Bureau wants the bucks to go to farmers and conservation practices advocated through the state's Nutrient Reduction Strategy. Voters who liked the "outdoor recreation" part of the trust fund title, be damned. In fact, one of the Farm Bureau's 2019 legislative priorities is to oppose expansion of state parks, ostensibly out of a deep concern that the state can't afford upkeep on the parks it has. The Farm Bureau also wants property tax relief. So you see how the grand bargain may take shape. A large, balanced group of environmental, conservation and agriculture stakeholders may not be at the table this time in a GOP Legislature not exactly famous for transparency and consensus -building. Reynolds says changing the formula might be necessary.

The bad news may be that those dollars will go into a formula cooked up behind closed doors by the Farm Bureau and its allies. Then they'll be spent on existing programs still lacking meaningful bench marks, timelines or robust public data reporting to measure success. The formula is not untouchable. Changes might make sense. But any alterations should be subject to a broad, public discussion. Voters approved a fund in 2010 pitched to them as a source of dollars for outdoor recreation, wildlife habitat improvements and trails, as well as water quality. Outdoor recreation also doubles as Page 95 of 195 https://www.thegazette.comisubj ect/opinionlstaff-columni st/iowa-governor-kim-reynol ds-... 2/1 3/2019 Reynolds is 'interested' in a trust fund tax deal 1 The Gazette Page 5 of 8 rural economic development.

The CLIENT and COMPANY agree to require a similar provision in all contracts with contractors, subcontractors, sub -consultants, vendors and other entities involved in this project to carry out the intent of this provision. 8.12 Governing Law and Jurisdiction The CLIENT and the COMPANY agree that this Agreement and any legal actions concerning its validity, interpretation and performance shall be governed by the laws of the State of Iowa without regard to any conflict of law provisions, which may apply the laws of other jurisdictions. Versionl.0 07012017 Page 123 of 195 Professional Services Agreement Waterloo, IA — Former Weissman Steel Site October 30, 2018 Page 5 of 9 It is further agreed that any legal action between the CLIENT and the COMPANY arising out of this Agreement or the performance of the services shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Iowa. 8.13 Dispute Resolution Mediation. In an effort to resolve any conflicts that arise during the design or construction of the project or following the completion of the project, the CLIENT and COMPANY agree that all disputes between them arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to non-binding mediation unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. The CLIENT and COMPANY further agree to include a similar mediation provision in all agreements with independent contractors and consultants retained for the project and to require all independent contractors and consultants also to include a similar mediation provision in all agreements with subcontractors, sub -consultants, suppliers or fabricators so retained, thereby providing for mediation as the primary method for dispute resolution between the parties to those agreements. 8.14 Attorney's Fees If litigation arises for purposes of collecting fees or expenses due under this Agreement, the Court in such litigation shall award reasonable costs and expenses, including attorney fees, to the party justly entitled thereto. In awarding attorney fees, the Court shall not be bound by any Court fee schedule, but shall, in the interest of justice, award the full amount of costs, expenses, and attorney fees paid or incurred in good faith. 8.15 Ownership of Instruments of Service All reports, plans, specifications, field data, field notes, laboratory test data, calculations, estimates and other documents including all documents on electronic media prepared by COMPANY as instruments of service shall remain the property of COMPANY. COMPANY shall retain these records for a period of five (5) years following completion/submission of the records, during which period they will be made available to the CLIENT at all reasonable times. 8.16 Reuse of Documents All project documents including, but not limited to, plans and specifications furnished by COMPANY under this project are intended for use on this project only. Any reuse, without specific written verification or adoption by COMPANY, shall be at the CLIENT's sole risk, and CLIENT shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless COMPANY from all claims, damages and expenses including attorneys fees arising out of or resulting therefrom. Under no circumstances shall delivery of electronic files for use by the CLIENT be deemed a sale by the COMPANY, and the COMPANY makes no warranties, either express or implied, of merchantability and fitness for any particular purpose. In no event shall the COMPANY be liable for indirect or consequential damages as a result of the CLIENT's use or reuse of the electronic files. 8.17 Failure to Abide by Design Documents or To Obtain Guidance The CLIENT agrees that it would be unfair to hold COMPANY liable for problems that might occur should COMPANY'S plans, specifications or design intents not be followed, or for problems resulting from others' failure to obtain and/or follow COMPANY'S guidance with respect to any errors, omissions, inconsistencies, ambiguities or conflicts which are detected or alleged to exist in or as a consequence of implementing COMPANY'S plans, specifications or other Instruments of Service. Accordingly, the CLIENT waives any claim against COMPANY, and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold COMPANY harmless from any claim for injury or losses that results from failure to follow COMPANY'S plans, specifications or design intent, or for failure to obtain and/or follow COMPANY'S guidance with respect to any alleged errors, omissions, inconsistencies, ambiguities or conflicts contained within or arising as a result of implementing COMPANY'S plans, specifications or other Instruments of Service. The CLIENT also agrees to compensate COMPANY for any time spent and expenses incurred remedying CLIENT's failures according to COMPANY'S prevailing fee schedule and expense reimbursement policy. 8.18 Opinion of Probable Construction Cost As part of the Deliverables, COMPANY may submit to the CLIENT an opinion of probable cost required to construct work recommended, designed, or specified by COMPANY, if required by CLIENT. COMPANY is not a construction cost estimator or construction contractor, nor should COMPANY'S rendering an opinion of probable construction costs be considered equivalent to the nature and extent of service a construction cost estimator or construction contractor would provide. This requires COMPANY to make a number of assumptions as to actual conditions that will be encountered on site; the specific decisions of other design professionals engaged; the means and methods of construction the contractor will employ; the cost and extent of labor, Versionl.0 07012017 Page 124 of 195 Professional Services Agreement Waterloo, IA — Former Weissman Steel Site October 30, 2018 Page 6 of 9 equipment and materials the contractor will employ; contractor's techniques in determining prices and market conditions at the time, and other factors over which COMPANY has no control. Given the assumptions which must be made, COMPANY cannot guarantee the accuracy of its opinions of cost, and in recognition of that fact, the CLIENT waives any claim against COMPANY relative to the accuracy of COMPANY'S opinion of probable construction cost. 8.19 Design Information in Electronic Form Because electronic file information can be easily altered, corrupted, or modified by other parties, either intentionally or inadvertently, without notice or indication, COMPANY reserves the right to remove itself from its ownership and/or involvement in the material from each electronic medium not held in its possession. CLIENT shall retain copies of the work performed by COMPANY in electronic form only for information and use by CLIENT for the specific purpose for which COMPANY was engaged. Said material shall not be used by CLIENT or transferred to any other party, for use in other projects, additions to this project, or any other purpose for which the material was not strictly intended by COMPANY without COMPANY's express written permission. Any unauthorized use or reuse or modifications of this material shall be at CLIENT'S sole risk. Furthermore, the CLIENT agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold COMPANY harmless from all claims, injuries, damages, losses, expenses, and attorneys fees arising out of the modification or reuse of these materials. The CLIENT recognizes that designs, plans, and data stored on electronic media including, but not limited to computer disk, magnetic tape, or files transferred via email, may be subject to undetectable alteration and/or uncontrollable deterioration. The CLIENT, therefore, agrees that COMPANY shall not be liable for the completeness or accuracy of any materials provided on electronic media after a 30 day inspection period, during which time COMPANY shall correct any errors detected by the CLIENT to complete the design in accordance with the intent of the contract and specifications. After 40 days, at the request of the CLIENT, COMPANY shall submit a final set of sealed drawings, and any additional services to be performed by COMPANY relative to the submitted electronic materials shall be subject to separate Agreement. The CLIENT is aware that differences may exist between the electronic files delivered and the printed hard -copy construction documents. In the event of a conflict between the signed construction documents prepared by the COMPANY and electronic files, the signed or sealed hard -copy construction documents shall govern. 8.20 Information Provided by Others The CLIENT shall furnish, at the CLIENT's expense, all information, requirements, reports, data, surveys and instructions required by this Agreement. The COMPANY may use such information, requirements, reports, data, surveys and instructions in performing its services and is entitled to rely upon the accuracy and completeness thereof. The COMPANY shall not be held responsible for any errors or omissions that may arise as a result of erroneous or incomplete information provided by the CLIENT and/or the CLIENT's consultants and contractors. COMPANY is not responsible for accuracy of any plans, surveys or information of any type including electronic media prepared by any other consultants, etc. provided to COMPANY for use in preparation of plans. The CLIENT agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless the COMPANY from any damages, liabilities, or costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and defense costs, arising out of or connected in any way with the services performed by other consultants engaged by the CLIENT. COMPANY is not responsible for accuracy of topographic surveys provided by others. A field check of a topographic survey provided by others will not be done under this Agreement unless indicated in the Scope of Services. 8.21 Force Majeure The CLIENT agrees that the COMPANY is not responsible for damages arising directly or indirectly from any delays for causes beyond the COMPANY's control. CLIENT agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold COMPANY, its consultants, agents, and employees harmless from any and all liability, other than that caused by the negligent acts, errors, or omissions of COMPANY, arising out of or resulting from the same. For purposes of this Agreement, such causes include, but are not limited to, strikes or other labor disputes; severe weather disruptions or other natural disasters or acts of God; fires, riots, war or other emergencies; failure of any government agency to act in timely manner; failure of performance by the CLIENT or the CLIENT'S contractors or consultants; or discovery of any hazardous substances or differing site conditions. Severe weather disruptions include but are not limited to extensive rain, high winds, snow greater than two (2) inches and ice. In addition, if the delays resulting from any such causes increase the cost or time required by the COMPANY to perform its services in an orderly and efficient manner, the COMPANY shall be entitled to a reasonable adjustment in schedule and compensation. Versionl.0 07012017 Page 125 of 195 Professional Services Agreement Waterloo, IA — Former Weissman Steel Site October 30, 2018 Page 7 of 9 8.22 Job Site Visits and Safety Neither the professional activities of COMPANY, nor the presence of COMPANY'S employees and sub - consultants at a construction site, shall relieve the General Contractor and any other entity of their obligations, duties and responsibilities including, but not limited to, construction means, methods, sequence, techniques or procedures necessary for performing, superintending or coordinating all portions of the work of construction in accordance with the contract documents and any health or safety precautions required by any regulatory agencies. COMPANY and its personnel have no authority to exercise any control over any construction contractor or other entity or their employees in connection with their work or any health or safety precautions. The CLIENT agrees that the General Contractor is solely responsible for job site safety, and warrants that this intent shall be made evident in the CLIENT's AGREEMENT with the General Contractor. The CLIENT also agrees that the CLIENT, COMPANY and COMPANY'S consultants shall be indemnified and shall be made additional insureds on the General Contractor's and all subcontractor's general liability policies on a primary and non-contributory basis. 8.23 Hazardous Materials CLIENT hereby understands and agrees that COMPANY has not created nor contributed to the creation or existence of any or all types of hazardous or toxic wastes, materials, chemical compounds, or substances, or any other type of environmental hazard or pollution, whether latent or patent, at CLIENT's premises, or in connection with or related to this project with respect to which COMPANY has been retained to provide professional engineering services. The compensation to be paid COMPANY for said professional engineering services is in no way commensurate with, and has not been calculated with reference to, the potential risk of injury or loss which may be caused by the exposure of persons or property to such substances or conditions. Therefore, to the fullest extent permitted by law, CLIENT agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold COMPANY, its officers, directors, employees, and consultants, harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, and expenses, whether direct, indirect, or consequential, including, but not limited to, attorney fees and Court costs, arising out of, or resulting from the discharge, escape, release, or saturation of smoke, vapors, soot, fumes, acid, alkalis, toxic chemicals, liquids gases, or any other materials, irritants, contaminants, or pollutants in or into the atmosphere, or on, onto, upon, in, or into the surface or subsurface of soil, water, or watercourses, objects, or any tangible or intangible matter, whether sudden or not. It is acknowledged by both parties that COMPANY'S scope of services does not include any services related to asbestos or hazardous or toxic materials. In the event COMPANY or any other party encounters asbestos or hazardous or toxic materials at the job site, or should it become known in any way that such materials may be present at the job site or any adjacent areas that may affect the performance of COMPANY'S services, COMPANY may, at its option and without liability for consequential or any other damages, suspend performance of services on the project until the CLIENT retains appropriate specialist consultant(s) or contractor(s) to identify, abate and/or remove the asbestos or hazardous or toxic materials, and warrants that the job site is in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Nothing contained within this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted as requiring COMPANY to assume the status of a generator, storer, transporter, treater, or disposal facility as those terms appear within the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C.A., §6901 et seq., as amended, or within any State statute governing the generation, treatment, storage, and disposal of waste. 8.24 Certificate of Merit The CLIENT shall make no claim for professional negligence, either directly or in a third party claim, against COMPANY unless the CLIENT has first provided COMPANY with a written certification executed by an independent design professional currently practicing in the same discipline as COMPANY and licensed in the State in which the claim arises. This certification shall: a) contain the name and license number of the certifier; b) specify each and every act or omission that the certifier contends is a violation of the standard of care expected of a design professional performing professional services under similar circumstances; and c) state in complete detail the basis for the certifier's opinion that each such act or omission constitutes such a violation. This certificate shall be provided to COMPANY not less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the presentation of any claim or the institution of any judicial proceeding. 8.25 Limitation of Liability In recognition of the relative risks and benefits of the Project to both the CLIENT and the COMPANY, the risks have been allocated such that the CLIENT agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to limit the liability of the COMPANY and COMPANY'S officers, directors, partners, employees, shareholders, owners and sub - consultants for any and all claims, losses, costs, damages of any nature whatsoever or claims expenses from Versionl.0 07012017 Page 126 of 195 Professional Services Agreement Waterloo, IA — Former Weissman Steel Site October 30, 2018 Page 8 of 9 any cause or causes, including attorney's fees and costs and expert -witness fees and costs, so that the total aggregate liability of the COMPANY and COMPANY'S officers, directors, partners, employees, shareholders, owners and sub -consultants shall not exceed $50,000.00, or the COMPANY'S total fee for services rendered on this Project, whichever is greater. It is intended that this limitation apply to any and all liability or cause of action however alleged or arising, unless otherwise prohibited by law. 8.26 Environmental Audits/Site Assessments Environmental Audit/Site Assessment report(s) are prepared for CLIENT's sole use. CLIENT agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold COMPANY, its consultants, agents, and employees harmless against all damages, claims, expenses, and losses arising out of or resulting from any reuse of the Environmental Audit/Site Assessment report(s) without the written authorization of COMPANY. 8.27 Construction Observation Without Design It is agreed that the professional services of COMPANY are limited to a review and observation of the work of the contractor to ascertain that such work is proceeding in general accordance with the contract documents and that such contract documents have not been prepared by the COMPANY. Unless otherwise stated, the CLIENT warrants that any documents provided to COMPANY by the CLIENT or by the prior consultant may be relied upon as to their accuracy and completeness without independent investigation by the successor consultant and that the CLIENT has the right to provide such documents to COMPANY free of any claims of copyright or patent infringement or violation of any other party's rights in intellectual property. It is further agreed that the CLIENT will defend, indemnify and hold harmless COMPANY from any claim or suit whatsoever, including all payments, expenses or costs, arising from or alleged to have arisen from an error or omission in the plans, specifications or contract documents. COMPANY agrees to be responsible for its employees own negligent acts, errors or omissions in the performance of their professional services. 8.28 Design Without Construction Observation It is agreed that the professional services of COMPANY do not extend to or include the review or site observation of the contractors work or performance and the CLIENT assumes all responsibility for interpretation of the contract documents and for construction observation. It is further agreed that the CLI ENT will defend, indemnify and hold harmless COMPANY from any claim or suit whatsoever, including but not limited to all payments, expenses or costs involved, arising from the contractor's performance or the failure of the contractor's work to conform to the design intent and the contract documents. COMPANY agrees to be responsible for its employees' negligent acts, errors or omissions. 8.29 Construction Observation COMPANY shall visit the project at appropriate intervals (as described in the scope of services) during construction to become generally familiar with the progress and quality of the contractors' work and to determine if the work is proceeding in general accordance with the Contract Documents. The CLIENT has not retained COMPANY to make detailed inspections or to provide exhaustive or continuous project review and observation services. COMPANY does not guarantee the performance of, and shall have no responsibility for, the acts or omissions of any contractor, subcontractor, supplier or any other entity furnishing materials or performing any work on the project. If the CLIENT desires more extensive project observation or full-time project representation, the CLIENT shall request in writing such services be provided by COMPANY as Additional Services in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. 8.30 Municipal Advisor The COMPANY is not a Municipal Advisor registered with the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) as defined in the Dodd -Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. When the CLIENT is a municipal entity as defined by said Act, and the CLIENT requires project financing information for the services performed under this Agreement, the CLIENT will provide the COMPANY with a letter detailing who their independent registered municipal advisor is and that the CLIENT will rely on the advice of such advisor. A sample letter can be provided to the CLIENT upon request. This Agreement is approved and accepted by the CLIENT and COMPANY upon both parties signing and dating the Agreement. Services will not begin until COMPANY receives a signed agreement.

Michael Maloney, Maloney Landscaping, 45 Airline Highway, Waterloo, Iowa, 50701 The proposed rezone area is located two houses to the East of the intersection of East Airline Highway and Logan Avenue. It would not appear that the rezone would have a negative impact upon the surrounding area or other surrounding land uses. The proposed rezone request would not appear to have a negative impact upon existing pedestrian and traffic conditions in the area. Airline Highway west of Logan Avenue (Hwy 63) is classified as a Minor Arterial roadway and east of Logan Avenue (Hwy 63) is classified as a Local roadway. Logan Avenue is (Hwy 63) is classified as a Principal Arterial roadway. No trails are located adjacent to the property in question. The area in question is currently zoned "A-1" Agricultural District, and has been zoned as such since the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance in 1969. The surrounding land is zoned as follows: North — "A-1" Agricultural District -Consists of 4.8 acres of heavily wooded area, as well as commercial uses zoned "C-2" Commercial District. South — Approximately 5 acres zoned "C-2" Commercial District and 36 Acres zoned "R-4" Multiple Residence District that is being farmed. East — "R-1" One & Two Family Residence District and "A-1" Agricultural District with single family homes and farmland. West — "R-1" One & Two Family Residence District -One Single Family Home, Logan Avenue (Hwy 63) and Casey's General Store zoned "C-2" Commercial District The home at 31 East Airline Highway to the west of the applicant's property was built in 1910. The applicant's property was built in 1936 and the property to the east of the applicant's property at 75 Airline Highway was built in 2003. Mr. Baldwin the owner of 75 Airline Highway built a 40'x80' (3,200 square feet.) building on a 3 acre lot without knowing that a building permit had not been obtained by the contractor claiming that he PgdEci3f3i of 195 BUFFERS/ SCREENING REQUIRED: DRAINAGE: FLOODPLAIN: PUBLIC /OPEN SPACES/ SCHOOLS: UTILITIES: WATER, SANITARY SEWER, STORM SEWER, ETC. RELATIONSHIP TO COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN: City of Waterloo Rezone "A-1" to "C-2" January 8, 2019 needed that size building to house his maintenance equipment for his 3 acre home site. The Zoning Ordinance, Part V, 2A-7, E states that accessory buildings cannot exceed 6% of the lot area up to 1,800 square feet. Mr. Baldwin then demolished the existing home in 2003, and built a replacement home. Mr. Baldwin applied for and was granted a variance on May 22, 2001 to legalize the existing 3,200 square foot pole building on the property. The applicant's property lies near the intersection of Highway 63 and Airline Highway. The Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map designate this area for Commercial. Buffering or screening may be required for the request along the westerly and easterly property lines to shield the pole building and business activities from the adjacent residential properties to the west at 31 Airline Highway and to the east from the property owner at 75 Airline Highway. Rezoning of the land would not appear to have a negative impact upon drainage in the surrounding area as the applicant would be required to provide an approved water retention plan to the Engineering Department prior to any construction. No areas of the site in question are located within a Special Flood Hazard Area as indicated by the Federal Insurance Administration's Flood Insurance Rate Map Community Number 190025 and Panel Number 0187F, dated July 18, 2011. There are no schools or public spaces located within close proximity of the site in question. The applicant's existing home is served by a new septic tank that was installed by the applicant in November of 2018. However, the new septic tank was only designed to serve the existing 4 bedroom home and not the future 1 to two bathroom facilities proposed to be constructed in the proposed commercial building that will be utilized by approximately 3 full-time employees and part-time employees of the company. Additional septic capacity may be required by the Health Department The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Commercial. The rezone request is in conformance with the Future Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan for this area. PgdEP i 3f4l of 195 STAFF ANALYSIS — ZONING ORDINANCE: STAFF ANALYSIS — SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: City of Waterloo Rezone "A-1" to "C-2" January 8, 2019 The "R-1" One and Two Family Residence District is intended to provide for areas of the community which are suitable for low density residential uses that are adjacent to residential, professional offices or neighborhood commercial uses. However, the area has existing commercial businesses to the north at 3146 Logan Avenue and 3160 Logan Avenue that where established in the early 1950's as well as the west and southwest. The property at 3146 Logan Avenue was rezoned from "A-1"Agricultural to "C-2" Commercial District in1988 and 3160 Logan Avenue was rezoned from "A-1" Agricultural District to "C -2,C -Z" Conditional Commercial District in 1994. There are new commercial developments that have occurred in recent years with the construction the Casey's General Store located on the west side of Logan Avenue that was built in 2001, Dollar General Store located near the southwest corner of the intersection of Logan Avenue and Airline Highway at 2935 Logan Avenue that was built in 2011. The former Dine Hardware store located north of the Dollar General Store at the southwest corner of the intersection was demolished in 2013 and the site is available for redevelopment. Therefore, staff believes that the request is appropriate for the area and would help a growing new business to continue to grow and be successful. There is no platting required as a part of this request to rezone. Therefore, staff recommends that request by Michael Maloney to rezone 1.55 acres from "R-1" One and Two Family Residence District to "C-2" Commercial District to allow for use of the property as a landscaping business including the construction of a 60' x 72' pole building with office space for the relocation of an existing landscaping business located at 45 East Airline Highway be approved for the following reasons: 1. The rezoning request would not appear to have a negative impact on the surrounding area 2. The request would not appear to have a negative impact upon pedestrian or traffic conditions within the surrounding area. 3. The request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Future Land use Map. And with the following condition(s): 1. That the final site plan meets all applicable city codes, regulations, etc. including, but not limited to, parking, landscaping, drainage, etc. 2. Appropriate screening is installed along the west and east property lines to effectively screen the use from adjoining residences.

I am a firm believer we were put on this earth for more than just living and | want to give back. | want to incorporate a giving program where my customers can donate a percentage of their invoice to a monthly organization and my company will match it — up to 3-5%. I am a firm believer in making the world a better place and this is one way I can achieve that.

Submitted by: Submitted By: Aric Schroeder, City Planner Recommended Action: Approval Summary Statement: Staff is proposing changes to the City of Waterloo Zoning Ordinance No. 5079 regarding the sale of fireworks. The Zoning Ordinance does not currently specifically list fireworks as a permitted use, however the "C-1" Neighborhood Commercial District allows for "any retail business or service establishment". The amendment would exclude the sale of fireworks in the "C-1" District, and would allow for the sale of fireworks from permanent buildings in the "C-2" Commercial District (or less restrictive districts) when located within a principal building and not an accessory structure, and when said fireworks sales are accessory and customarily incidental to an existing principal retails sales use. Any existing fireworks sales from a principal building not meeting these requirements would be legal non -conforming (grandfathered). Fireworks sales, regardless of type of building and regardless if accessory to an existing use (so including from temporary structures), would be permitted in the "M-1" Light Industrial District or less restrictive districts, provided any structure or building used for fireworks sales is at least 200' from any "R" District, and provided that any temporary structures used for fireworks sales (tent, trailer, cargo container, etc.) is setback at least 25' from any property line. A copy of the proposed changes, showing strike through for wording proposed to be removed and underline for wording proposed to be added is attached. The Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission held a hearing on January 8, 2019 and unanimously recommended approval of the proposed amendment.

Schroeder, City Planner Date: 12/18/18 RE: Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment: Fireworks Sales. At last month's meeting there was a discussion item regarding staff consideration of changes to the City of Waterloo Zoning Ordinance No. 5079 as it relates to the sale of fireworks. A proposed amendment is now being placed on the agenda for recommendation on adoption. The Zoning Ordinance does not currently specifically list fireworks as a permitted use, however the "C-1" Neighborhood Commercial District allows for "any retail business or service establishment". The amendment would exclude the sale of fireworks in the "C-1" District, and would allow for the sale of fireworks from permanent buildings in the "C-2" Commercial District (or less restrictive districts) when located within a principal building and not an accessory structure, and when said fireworks sales are accessory and customarily incidental to an existing principal retail sales use. Any existing fireworks sales from a principal building not meeting these requirements would be legal non -conforming (grandfathered). Fireworks sales, regardless of type of building and regardless if accessory to an existing use (so including from temporary structures), would be permitted in the "M-1" Light Industrial District or less restrictive districts, provided any structure or building used for fireworks sales is at least 200' from any "R" District, and provided that any temporary structures used for fireworks sales (tent, trailer, cargo container, etc.) is setback at least 25' from any property line. Please let Planning staff know if you have any questions or need any additional information regarding the proposed amendment. CITY WEBSITE: www.cityofwaterlooiowa.com WE'RE WORKING FOR YOU!

Page 155 of 195 Comments to Waterloo City Council Monday Feb 11, 2019 By Jeri Thornsberry, 704 Sheridan Road, Waterloo, IA 50701 Tonight once again I plead with you not to approve the change to the ordinance banning all fireworks in Waterloo. Last week I heard some interesting comments from members of council and our police chief. I heard one of you say that there was virtually no difference in the number of fireworks actually exploding between year one and year two. This is not my experience. And since apparently the City does not have an accurate count of the number of complaints because allegedly all complaints were not logged, I decided to ask my neighbors how they experienced the volume of fireworks from when it was legal and the second year when they were banned. Each and every neighbor stated that year 2 was tolerable. Barely any disturbance from the law breakers. So the ban is working. To abandon it after one year seems irresponsible to me and my neighbors. Next, I heard one council member say that we citizens should take up this issue with our state representatives for opening this Pandora's Box for us in Waterloo. Yes citizens do need to contact their state elected representatives. However, each of you took an oath to protect the health and safety of Waterloo citizens. Your actions to allow fireworks that disturbs and distresses many different cohorts of Waterloo residents is dumbfounding especially when the State Legislature allowed local communities the option of limiting or banning these fireworks. Do your duty to all citizens and do not lift the ban. Next our police chief responded that police officers do in fact find it very difficult to issue tickets to those people breaking the law. This comment is especially maddening when I witnessed an off-duty officer teaching a child how to light off a string of firecrackers on the 4th . If our police officers cannot even follow this law, I suggest we have bigger troubles in this city than most citizens even know. Again I plead with you not to lift the ban on fireworks. The reasons for passing the ordinance banning essentially a missile loaded with a variation of gunpowder have not changed. - People suffering from PTSD symptoms will still suffer. - Disabled citizens will still suffer. - People who have experienced family tragedy through gun violence will still suffer. - Citizens, young and old, with severe health problems will still suffer. - Unable to get to sleep because of the loud noises, children will still suffer - Our pets will still suffer in two ways—the noise and the sedation medication. Further every citizen will now be exposed to potential property damage. Today most of us live in established neighborhoods with our houses built about 20 feet apart from each other. What about property damage to a neighbor's roof or landscaping? I am dumbfounded that this council may consider this potential compromise which gives permission for one neighbor to potentially harm another's property. Is it ok to disrupt the peace and tranquility of other citizens using the rationale that those who bought these fireworks should be allowed to fire them? Do dollars spent by individuals matter more than the distress incurred by all other citizens because of their personal decision to buy a product? This is not commerce, this is coercion. Let's encourage building our community by inviting all citizens to witness the organized display of fireworks. Please do your duty to all citizens of Waterloo. Do not change the ordinance banning fireworks. Or alternatively, vote "No" on the current ordinance change and bring forth a new ordinance change that restricts fireworks to our only Independence Day—July 4th. Thank you. G. M. "Jeri" Thornsberry Submitted to City Clerk and to Councilman Ray Feuss, Ward 5, to be read into the record.

We have no particular quarrel with the ordinance as proposed, Our only objection to the ordinance passed in late 2017 (and repealed last summer) was that it lacked a grandfathering clause; because this new proposed ordinance includes such provisions, we have no objection. Operating under Waterloo's nonconforming use paragraph does place some restrictions on our business going forward, but | don't believe any of those restrictions are anything we can't live with, As for permissible use of fireworks, we would suggest the approach taken by Davenport and Bettendorf, which is to permit two days (July 3 and 4) in the summer, plus a couple hours on New Year's Eve. Our second store is in Bettendorf, so we saw the results of their approach close-up this past summer and on New Year's Eve. Although no approach will keep everyone happy, the Quad Cities approach seems to come as close as possible. There was obviously heavy use of fireworks July 3 and 4, but not much that we saw outside of those dates. You will always have some scofflaws who will set off fireworks whenever they want without regard to the law, but most people - including most fireworks enthusiasts - want to follow the law if possible. We believe (and the Waterloo Police Chief has publicly agreed) that a complete ban, because it is unenfurceob|e, results in people not respecting the law and being more likely to disobey it. And once they decide they're going to use fireworks anyway, they have no reason to confine their use to July 3-4 or whatever the legal use period would be - the penalty for illegal use is the same at 3am on a Wednesday in early June as it is at 9pm on lndependence Day. If you allow a couple days of use, only the true scofflaws will use fireworks outside that window, which will make it easier for the Police Department to go after the real troublemakers. Allowing a couple of days results in the vast majority of fireworks users confining that use to the legal period, making life easier for people who just don't like the noise as well as those with legitimate difficulties with fireworks, i.e. PTSD ouffepena, pet owners, and parents of young children. As seen in Waterloo this year on July 4, it's simply impossible to completely eliminate the use of consumer fireworks that night. Why not make it truly legal that night (or, pnaferab|y, a couple nights) and make life easier for everyone the rest of the summer? It's working well in the Quad Cihes, and as a bonua, it seems to be a more stable solution - thus far | have heard no serious calls to make significant changes after this past summer season. 1 Page 159 of 195 In short, we believe that allowing a short usage period isn't just better for people who like fireworks - it's actually better for people who hate them, too, because it does a better job of confining that use to a limited period and minimizing use outside that period. Thanks for your consideration and for all the work you do. Justin Bartlett Managing Member, Crossroads Fireworks 319-504-6654 p.s. I have attached the current Davenport and Bettendorf fireworks ordinances for your reference.

The stand's manager said they sold nearly all of their inventory. (Rebecca F.Mi||urahoGazette) ()uthe Fourth nfJu]y`abunch o[nynorth Marion neighbors gathered. at one of our homes to shoot off fireworks. For mfew hours straddling duxkxesentmokebundmmtam skyward. We ignited sparkling, spinning and popping stuffon the ground. There were lighter -bearing igniters and lawn -chair - loungers. The kids ran around doing what kids do on warm summer nights, but were kcpt at a safe distance. Directions were followed and everyone left with all of their fingers. It was fun, and memorable. And it might not happen again. Page 162 of 195 Cedar Rapids, weeks after permitting the maximum legal leeway for use of fireworks under a law legalizing them in Towa, is now poised to ban their use. It wouldn't shock me if Marion follows its lead. After all, these cities are joined at the hip, cannon notwithstanding. share my own anecdote not as a rueful confession that I live in a neighborhood with low regard for clogs, veterans, air quality and the risk of thyroid conditions. I'd just like the record to show not all stories from the great fireworks experiment of 201 7 are horror stories. It wasn't all smoke and outrage. Make no mistake, there were horror stories. Far too many people, given easy access to legal sales, developed pyrotechnics derangement syndrome. Their bombs burst in midair at all hours, for weeks, blowing past legal limits with little or no regard for consequences or the harm inflicted on neighbors. Police calls were legion. Carelessness led to injuries and fires. Demands for a ban followed. But here's the funny thing about prohibition: It will no doubt put the kibosh on our neighborhood display. There's probably not much interest in bringing folks together to break the law. Other law -followers also will opt out, I suspect. As for the people who blatantly ignored even liberal limits set out in current ordinances and selfishly shrugged at the consequences of irresponsibility, they'll also blatantly ignore prohibition. So the ban will be about as effective as a damp firecracker. Problems will persist. Cedar Rapids also is proposing pushing sales to industrial areas. Swell. But at last report cars, trucks and other vehicles remain popular among hilly mobile residents. Sales will remain brisk, and chances the Legislature will reopen the issue of legal sales next year amount to slim and none. A ban won't solve the problem, but it is probably good politics. Page 163 of 195 Reports of mayhem have been flowing into City Hall for weeks from angry residents. Council members are getting an earful and it's an election year. They're interested in keeping their seats, and a couple of them are hoping to be the next mayor. There's simply no political upside to standing up for firecracker enthusiasts. That doesn't mean whiplash policymaking, steeped in outrage, is good policymaking. After just one season of legal fireworks, it would make more sense to first try vastly narrowing the window for legal use, cutting it from several weeks to a few days. Maybe even one day, Independence Day. Sure, there's a chance it leads to no improvement. But it's an intermediate measure that preserves some legal leeway for non - jerks, at least until we see how year two unfolds. It would acknowledge the reality of legal sales while addressing the damage done by a weekslong onslaught. Perhaps that smaller window could be paired with some innovative thinking on enforcement and penalties. Officials have months to work it out. The city has faced bigger challenges. Unfortunately, we no longer do intermediate very well. These are all -or -nothing times. My side wins. Your side loses. Nothing else is acceptable. Truth is, arguments both for doing whatever I please and for banning whatever I loathe spring from the same impulse to have things our way. Nannies! Drunks! Leaders who stroll into no man's land to call for a compromise soon will rejoin the ranks of the nonelected. Columnists will find an inbox of unhappiness. So the irresponsible have pushed us to swiftly embrace the unenforceable. I guess bans will make some of us feel better, until we're soon reminded how the real issues we face — pervasive selfishness, lack of empathy and a lost sense of community -- remain unscathed. They're more damaging and maddening than any rocket barrage. And tough ordinances can't make good neighbors. But we will have thwarted the rocketeers of north Marion.

So here are my two cents (smile). Bruce and Steve already know that I like fireworks... though in reality, I like the idea of fireworks. I've not ever shot any off at my home in Waterloo, but America is about freedom. Growing up in Independence, IA ("America's Fame is in our Name") 1 was made keenly aware of the meaning of that freedom. And, we shot plenty of fireworks off out on our family farm! Short of harming others, freedom shouldn't be impeded. In this case, there are some who feel harmed by the noise ancl pollution of fireworks. Others would like to shoot them off whenever. I'd like to commend the mayor, council, and city staff for finding a rational middle ground on the issue, with a three-day legal window. And, for taking the time to be thoughtful of community member's divergent views. KUDOS. Thanks to all of you for your service!

This is my personal experience. Triggers have different effects on other people. There are so many variables that can affect a trigger. I.e. How big or small the trigger is, mood at the time of the trigger, several small triggers over a period of time can build into a major issue, etc. Normally on the days leading up to the Fourth of July I can turn on a fan and turn up the TV to block out the sound of fireworks but this year was different. New renters behind us and the fourth is on Monday so it's a long holiday weekend. It was also frustrating because on the days leading up to the July 4th I had to sit in the house with the windows closed when the weather was perfect outside. (My perfect weather is highs in the 60s to 70s and lows in the 50s and 60s.) If you want to skip the set-up and read only what happens inside me go to the last paragraph. We were out of town on Saturday, July 3rd. We came home Sunday, July 3 with plans to leave on the 4th. Normally, the neighbors don't light fireworks near our house. For whatever reason, they had their annual party on the 3rd instead of the 4th. They also thought I wasn't home. Because she had told me she wasn't going to light them off until the 4th I didn't think I needed to tell her I was home. I was caught way off guard for what was to happen. The fireworks started in the street in front of our house at dusk. Being that close to our house there was no way to block out the noise. I called the police but as is normal this time of year they are busy and can't respond to every call right away. At some point my mind said enough is enough and took over all thought processes. It started with an ugly confrontation in the street. As she is good at it Karla got me into the Page 172 of 195 house and calmed down a little. (I will apologize to the neighbor for the language I used.)1 The police arrived, talked to them and they quit. I can't tell you what my conversation with the officer was because we were standing outside and there were fireworks all around. I finally said that I had to get back inside and went. Up to this point I didn't realize while the neighbors were lighting fireworks off in front of our house the new renters behind us were also lighting off what another neighbor described as probably $2,500 worth of professional fireworks. Shortly after the police left the fireworks started again in front and behind our house. Karla told me we needed to leave and go for a drive in the country. Karla has been with me through the hell that is PTSD since day one and always knows what's best for me so we left our house. The house we paid for with our hard earned money. I didn't get a chance to deal with the renters which is probably a good thing. While we were sitting out in the county waiting for it to be safe for me to return home Karla made the comment the neighbors don't know what I go through. This is my attempt to explain the best I can what was going inside me after the fireworks started and before my mind took over all thought processes. Imagine just as you get to sleep the neighbor's dog wakes you up with his barking. The dog stops barking long enough for you to just start falling back to sleep when the barking begins again and wakes you up again. That continues throughout the night. The neighbor doesn't care and doesn't do anything to fix the problem. The next night it happens all over again. Now pack all the feelings and emotions you've had over the last two nights into the twenty minutes I couldn't block out the explosive sound of the fireworks surrounding our house and I think you'll have a pretty good idea. Next year I think I'll rent a cop to sit in front of our house. 1 FOOTNOTE ADDED 2017-05-20 — Shortly after July 4th I apologized.

I wanted you to hear my concerns as well: I am concerned about legalizing fireworks inside the Waterloo City limits. In 2017 when fireworks were legal, my neighborhood sounded like a war zone. This was continuous! The time limits were not Page 175 of 195 followed at all. This is not only unbearable for pets, people with PTSD but also the hardworking people who have to work the days that the proposed change includes. These are the people who pay property taxes, I have all of the above in my household. We will have to kennel our dog out in the country for her sanity & ours. If you could come to my house and watch as a petrified animal hides and shakes uncontrollably, I believe it would break your heart like it does mine. I have PTSD, 30 years after nearly being beaten to death by my exhusband, this was after 5 years of being used as a punching bag. He was mad because I filed for divorce when he was in the Army Ranger training program. I hope you can appreciate how much damage he was trained to do by the Army! I'm not sharing this for potty but awareness. My husband works 1st shift at John Deere, he's been there for 22 years. We've lived in Waterloo, owned a home in Waterloo since 1997. I've heard the arguments for legalization, the ban didn't work, people have a right to do this but the most absurd argument I've heard was with 3 day's of legalization, it gives police officers a respite from complaints. WPD has the job of enforcing the laws that the city council approves. I believe that any police officer knows what a job entails before they accept the job. I'm personally not worried about any downtime for WPD. 1 see things that should be ticketed all the time that are not. I have no faith in law enforcement in this city anymore. I see all the vehicles, the same vehicles that aren't moved during snow emergencies. They are the same 9 vehicles along Downing Avenue. I was driving down East 5th Street 2 weeks ago. I was in the middle lane, the car on my right had no lights on, on my left was a WPD vehicle. The WPD vehicle moved in front of me, next to the car without lights. I thought for sure that they would be pulled over but the WPD vehicle moved back to the left lane and turned off the street. This was at 8:30 pm on a Friday night. Not only was the vehicle in danger of not being able to be see but also caused a danger to others by not being seen by other motorist. These are just 2 minor examples of laws being broken. I hold WPD responsible for the citizens safety. That's my main reasoning for opposing fireworks being legal. It did not work in 20171 Last year the occurrences were reduced by a large margin. The ban did in fact work. Please vote NO tonight at the city council meeting.

ROLL CALL Chairman Hugh Field called the meeting to order at 12:01 p.m. Board Members Present: Scott Voigt, Arlene Humble, Cary Darrah, Dr. Linda Allen, Chuck Needham, Gwenne Berry and Hugh Field. Board Members Absent: None. City Officials Present: Councilmember Margaret Klein, and Adrienne Miller, Planning and Zoning Department. Airport Staff Present: Keith Kaspari, Airport Director and Sheila Combs, Airport Bookkeeper. Other Attendees: Doug Schindel, AECOM; Tim Newton, Livingston Aviation; Joel Harris, T -Hangar Tenant. II. AGENDA AS RECEIVED OR AMENDED Dr. Allen moved the agenda be approved, seconded by Ms. Berry. Ayes: 6. Motion carried. III. PUBLIC COMMENTS Mr. Field stated that he and Tim Newton have a meeting with Mayor Hart next week to discuss Runway 6/24. IV. REPORTS A. Airport Director Mr. Field asked about for updates on the new hangar development (Item VII. A.). Mr. Kaspari distributed a draft copy of the Hangar and Ground Site Lease Agreement and stated that the developer is balking at the ground lease rent he has proposed. However, in discussing the project with the FAA Compliance Specialist, the rate proposed by the developer is so low it could jeopardize our past and future FAA Airport Improvement Grants if we were to agree to that rate. 1 Page 182 of 195 Additionally, correspondence received today (December 11th) states that soil borings reveal levels of ground contamination from an old fuel farm at the site. As such, an agreement has not been reached on site prep work, including removing the old former and once -FAA owned emergency generator building that was apparently turned over to the City of Waterloo by a previous airport administrator, whereby the building reveals the existence of Asbestos Containing Building Materials (ACBM's) that will have to be abated and then demolished in order the project to proceed. Additionally, a tin -shed owned by the City of Waterloo yet leased to Livingston Aviation will need to be relocated in order for the construction to begin. Finally, a seven (7) panel cabinet which houses the Main Power for the entire Airport Complex will need to be relocated in order for the project to be completed, as the power cabinet is currently in the way of the small parking lot on the east side of the lease footprint. Discussion continued as to whether these costs should come out of the Airport budget (whereby no funds were budgeted for this activity), be paid by the developer, or if the City is going to provide TIF funding, if that would be enough to cover the upfront costs. Ms. Darrah asked if there have been comments from any other tenants who might be affected by this project. Tim Newton stated he has some concerns about where he will be able to park his fuel trucks, as they must maintain space between the trucks and any aircraft storage facility, and he is running short on space, but otherwise, he is happy to see development at the Airport. Mr. Field stated that a phone meeting will be needed, meeting public notice guidelines, to approve a final agreement before it goes to City Council. Mr. Field also asked for an update on Hangar 4 (Item VI. A.). Mr. Kaspari stated that there are multiple parties interested in leasing all or part of the space but no formal negotiations have begun. Additionally, the letter from the City Attorney to Mr. Swieter's legal counsel regarding the hangar bay oil burning furnace was reviewed and discussed. No response has been received, yet the letter just went out the previous day. B. Monthly Planning & Development Report ---- N/A 2 Page 183 of 195 C. Legislative Information No discussion. D. Misc. Monthly Airport Reports No discussion. Mr. Needham moved that Reports be received and placed on file, seconded by Ms. Humble. Ayes: 6. Motion carried. V. BOARD APPROVAL A. Approval of Minutes of the November 27, 2018 Regular Meeting Moved by Dr. Allen, seconded by Ms. Darrah, that the minutes of the November 27, 2018 meeting be approved. Ayes: 6. Motion carried. B. Motion to Receive and File November 2018 Expenses Moved by Ms. Humble, seconded by Ms. Berry, that the November 2018 expenses be received and filed. Ayes: 6. Motion carried. VL OLD BUSINESS A.

Fly Local Fly ALO Draft Travel Policy — General Discussion Ms. Darrah stated that the Chamber Council has identified ALO as one of two priorities they want to work with to help grow. They have asked to review the Airport's Business Plan before working on the Travel Policy. 3 Page 184 of 195 Discussion included the need to set a meeting with Sioux City officials to find out details of how they were able to move away from the Essential Air Service program to an Airport with 5 daily flights to three (3) hub cities. Mr. Field stated that he had also wanted to bring back the discussion point from last month's meeting about the pilot shortage and the possibility of creating a training program at either Hawkeye Community College or UNI. Dr. Allen stated that HCC has checked into it but had not received a positive response from the FAA, who didn't feel there was enough need for pilots in this area. It was pointed out that graduates could go anywhere in the world to work, they wouldn't need to find a pilot position in the local area. Tim Newton would be interested in working with HCC on such a program, using their planes and flight instructors. VIII. STAFF AND BOARD MEMBER COMMENT None. IX.

December 4, 2018 The regular meeting of the Waterloo Planning, Programming, and Zoning Commission was called to order by Chairperson Holdiman at 4:01 p.m. in the Harold E. Getty Council Chambers at Waterloo City Hall. Members present were: Buttgen, Wilber, Donat, Flynn, Holdiman, Muhammad, and Serfling. Members absent were: Hall and Trost. Others present: Noel Anderson, Aric Schroeder, John Dornoff and Seth Hyberger - Planning Department, Jerome Amos — Waterloo City Council Liaison; and 3 citizens. I.Approval of the Agenda It was moved by Donat, seconded by Wilber to approve the agenda with the amendment to move item DI to be first on the agenda. Motion carried unanimously. IL Approval of the Minutes from the Regular Meeting on November 6, 2018. It was moved by Donat, seconded by Buttgen to approve the minutes as submitted. Motion carried unanimously. 111. Financial Report: October 2018 Anderson noted that October is 33 percent of the fiscal year and that some expenses are higher due to tax changes and subscriptions are higher due to those being paid in advance, but for the most part everything looked on track. It was moved by Buttgen, seconded by Flynn to receive and place the financial report on file. Motion carried unanimously. IV.Oral Presentations No Oral Presentations V.New Business D. Encroachment Agreements 1. Request for US Bank for an Encroachment Agreement to allow for a 3' X 2' 6 square foot sign to be located in the right-of-way of Cedar Street located at 425 Cedar Street. Hyberger gave the staff report recommending approval with the condition that there be a signed and executed encroachment agreement with the owner indicating the 3' X 2' (6 SF) sign may have to be removed and replaced at the owner's expense in the event the City needs access to the public right-of- way. Buttgen asked for clarification on where the sign would go to which Hyberger answered that the sign would be between the street and the sidewalk, Flynn asked if the city would be responsible if the sign was hit to which Schrader responded that one of the requirements of an Encroachment Agreement is that the applicant accepts all liability and they defend the city. Holdiman asked if the sign would affect sight distances to which Hyberger said no. Page 187 of 195 Planning and Zoning Commission December 4, 2018 Brian Buss, Nagle Signs stated that the original plan was to put the sign on US Bank property however, that would cause them to lose a parking space. People are parking in the US Bank parking spots that are not US Bank customers. Buttgen asked if the 3 rows of cars is all US Bank parking, if the bank was opened on Saturday, and if the sign will say during business hours only to which Buss indicated that all three rows are for US Bank, the bank is not open on Saturdays and the sign will not indicate business hours. Troy Smith, US Bank said the sign is designed to monitor parking during business hours but wants to be a good steward in the community and does not have a problem with people parking there when the bank is not open but due to the amount of development happening they want to install the sign as a preventive measure. Flynn asked who would be doing the policing of the parking to which Smith said he did not have a good answer. Buttgen asked if the condominium development will have parking to which Anderson answered that it would have parking on the 1st floor along with having access to the upper plaza parking. It was moved by Buttgen, seconded by Donut to approve the encroachment agreement request. Motion passed unanimously. A. Special Permits 1. Request by Randy Sanderson to expand an existing Salvage Yard located at 110 Court Avenue. Domoff gave the staff report recommending approval of the special permit with the conditions that 1) that the Board of Adjustment approve a variance to the requirement that new salvage yards be at least 600 feet from a protected use 2) that the salvage yard follow the new guidelines set forth by Ordinance 5426 3) that the entire area of the salvage yard expansion be fenced including along the Canadian National right-of-way and 4) the box car is disposed of. After reading the staff report Dornoff noted that he had contacted the railroad whose name was on the box car who had disposed of the car several years earlier, they contacted the company that they had sold the car to, and the company that they were bought out by who is now part of Wells Fargo and they stated they will take care of the car. Dornoff also indicated that he received a letter of opposition to the proposed salvage yard expansion due to the history of violating the salvage yard ordinance over the years. Buttgen asked if there was anything important in the box car to which Dornoff said most likely no, it was sold for scrap. Flynn asked about the new ordinance and the specification for a minimum of 5 acres to which Domoff noted that the Ordinance allows for the expansion of existing yards even if they are less than 5 acres. Flynn also asked about the fence and the letter that was sent to which Dornoff responded that after inspecting the yard in 2017 the applicant claimed that he has an issue with illegal dumping so staff sent a letter in November, 2017 saying that it was willing to vacate Court Avenue and sell it to the applicant so that the applicant could solve the illegal dumping issues. The fence was put up without a permit sometime after salvage yard inspections in May, 2018 and September, 2018. Flynn feels that the applicant is manipulating the system. Wilber asked if part of the expansion would be over the railroad to which Dornoff said no and explained in the previous vacate the planning department took a line from approximately 40' from the center line of the railroad tracks to Hogle Street for the vacate. Dornoff also noted that the entire remaining portion of Court Street right-of-way is being vacated to be disposed of. Wilber also asked about the a portion of the -2- Page 188 of 195 Planning and Zoning Commission December 4, 2018 salvage yards existing property that looks to be on railroad right-of-way to which Dornoff responded that staff has been looking at old records in order to determine ownership of the area. Anderson noted that he could very well own it and the railroad has an easement to go across that property. Buttgen referred to page 23 in the packet noting that it appears that the applicant is encroaching on the area that would not be sold to him and asked if that was in the ordinance to which Dornoff responded that everything should be within the fence area. Buttgen also asked where the fence is that he put up to which Dornoff responded that it was along Hogle Street across the right-of-way of Court Avenue. Anderson also noted that condition 3 requiring the entire area to be fenced is to get everything within the fence area. Holdiman asked if the fence that was constructed in code with the ordinance and if the company that is supposed to get rid of the box car doesn't will it be up to Mr. Sanderson to which Dornoff responded yes the fence is in compliance and he will be responsible for the box car. Donat asked for clarification about the 600 -foot requirement saying he thought it was less than that to which Dornoff responded that for mailing out notices for Site Plans and Rezones the requirement is 250 - feet but certain potential nuisance uses such as salvage yards require a 600 -foot buffer. Flynn stated a time line needs to be set for the box car to be removed and the fence put up. She also stated she cannot support the special permit because of the letter of opposition and it appears that he has not been a good neighbor. Serfling also has concerns and asked if there was anything that can be done to which Anderson responded that he is aware of the violations because he is talking to city staff but if he does not get into compliance he can be issued fines and if desired the city can request administrative jurisdiction to clean up the yard. Wilber asked if it is possible to determine if it is truly illegal dumping at the site or the applicant to which Dornoff responded it is impossible to tell. It was moved by Wilber, seconded by Buttgen to approve the special permit request with the conditions that 1) that the Board of Adjustment approve a variance to the requirement that new salvage yards be at least 600 feet from a protected use 2) that the salvage yard follow the new guidelines set forth by Ordinance 5426 3) that the entire area of the salvage yard expansion be fenced including along the Canadian National right-of-way 4) that the box car be disposed of and 5) that the fence be installed and the box car disposed of within 1 year of the actions by the Board of Adjustment. Motion failed 1-5 (Holdiman, Flynn, Buttgen, Muhammad, and Serfling voting against). B. Vacates 1. Request by Randy Sanderson to vacate Court Avenue south of Hogle Street. It was moved by Flynn, seconded by Mohammad to table the vacate request. Motion carried unanimously. 2. Request the City of Waterloo to vacate portions of Airline Highway located west of 3070 West Airline Highway. Dornoff gave the staff report, noting that staff was recommending approval with the condition that an easement be maintained under, on, and above the proposed vacated. Donat noted in the staff report is said East Highway instead of East High. -3- Page 189 of 195 Planning and Zoning Commission December 4, 2018 Buttgen asks about the possible gas line and if that is something that needs to be address to which Dornoff noted that an easement will be maintained over the entire vacate so the gas line will be covered. Buttgen also asked if there was a business looking to locate here to which Anderson stated that there is perspective businesses looking at the area. It was moved by Flynn, seconded by Donat to approve the vacate request. Motion carried unanimously. C. Plats 1. Request by the City of Waterloo for the Preliminary and Final Plat of a minor plat of survey located west of 3070 West Airline Highway Dornoff gave the staff report recommending approval of the plat. Donat asks if the commission needs to be worried about the gas line to which Dornoff responded that it is included in the vacate, and an easement would be retained. Flynn asks if the way the lots are being platted is for the needs of a business that might locate here to which Anderson responded yes. Anderson also noted that the reason the vacate is in two sections is that one section was acquired by the Department of Transportation for the expansion of Airline Highway when it was serving as US Highway 20 and the other portion was purchased by the airport and with the portion that was purchased originally by the state being disposed of by way of state code 306.23 so it will proceed to council in different phases. It was moved by Donat, seconded by Serfling to approve the plat request. Motion carried unanimously. E. Streets Naming. 1. Request by City of Waterloo to name a private street Court Avenue, generally located north of 110 Court Ave. It was moved by Flynn, seconded by Mohammad to table the street naming request. Motion carried unanimously. VI. Election of Officers If was moved by Flynn, seconded by second by Buttgen to nominate Wilber to be Chair for 2019. Motion carried unanimously. Donat nominated Donat for Vice -Chair, Flynn nominated Holdiman for Vice -Chair, Serfling nominated Buttgen for Vice -Chair. Buttgen received 3 votes (Serfling, Buttgen, and Muhammad), Holdiman received 2 votes (Flynn and Holdiman) and Donat received 2 votes (Donat and Wilber). Buttgen was appointed as Vice -Chair for 2019. VII. Discussion Schroeder discussed the memo that was distributed with the packet that discussed proposed changes to the ordinance for the sale of fireworks in the city including a history of how we got to where the city is now. There was a phone call from Councilman Morrissey stating that he would like to see the sale of fireworks in commercial areas being an accessory use to a primary business thus not allowing stores that are -4- Page 190 of 195 Planning and Zoning Commission December 4, 2018 dedicated to just fireworks sales although current ones such as Crossroads Fireworks would be grandfathered in. Temporary tent sites will be limited to areas zoned "M-1" Light Industrial District or less restrictive. Buttgen asked for clarification of neighborhood business to which Schroeder explained the background on the C-1 district. Buttgen asked what the Steelsmith Shopping Center is zoned as to which Schroeder respond that it is zoned C-2 so they would no longer be able to have temporary tents but one of the businesses inside the center could sell fireworks incidental to their primary businesses. Buttgen then asks for additional information on what a Light Industrial District is to which Schroder explains. Donat asked about the ban on fireworks to which Schroeder responded that the city cannot ban the sale of fireworks but it can ban the use of fireworks. There was the threat of legal action last year that caused the city council to change where fireworks could be sold. Anderson noted that staff has gone over the legal actions over the last year and feels confident that limiting the sale of fireworks the way it is proposed would be legal. Jerome Amos, 4th Ward City council noted that he has worked with councilman Morrissey on the fireworks issue and is confident that the proposal is in the spirit of the court actions elsewhere. Flynn asked if the tents are licensed, and Schroeder explained that the state issues the license to sell fireworks and the cities are preempted from creating their own licensing. Anderson did note that staff does look at locations for fireworks that they have adequate parking and siting. Flynn stated that since they cannot be used here the fireworks stands will not want to come here but Schroeder pointed out that Waterloo is considered a regional market and they will want to sell here to people who don't live in the area but are in the region and can still use them. Donat asked if it would only be "M-1" zoning where they could be sold in tents to which Schroeder responded that it would be "M-1" or less restrictive zoning such as "M-2" and "M -2,P". If it was any more restrictive it could possibly be challenged due to the limited number of areas that would be acceptable to sell fireworks. The next meeting will be on January 8th, 2019 due to the New Year's Day Holiday. VIII. Adjournment It was moved by Flynn, seconded by Wilber, to adjourn the meeting at 5:17 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.
