Paul Huting, Leisure Service Director, explained that this is surfacing that
will placed under the play structures in a flood zone in Cedar River Park. The
idea is to replace the wood chips that can continually float down the river with

Councilperson Greenwood, I had people ask me at how the Black Hawk County Gaming
Commission helps lower our property tax as well. On this item here I think they
have funded that request for us to streamline our capabilities of billing our
ambulance calls electronically which will speed up the processing of our claims
and get us our money faster. So the majority of that is being funded by the
Black Hawk County Gaming.
Mayor Clark, thank you and I think that is to the tune of $70,000.00 and there's
a lot of conversation and confusion I think about tax relief versus tax
reduction. This certainly falls within the heading of tax relief. We would
have had to do this. We would have had to pay for it out of the general fund.
Its an item for $75,000.00 that is now being funded from gaming which we are
very fortunate to have.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2010-915.
ORAL PRESENTATIONS
135406 - Ryan Madison, 650 Dawson Street, first of all let me go on the record by saying
how discussed at three of you guys that I am. Mr. Clark for you to call me and
give me a half excuse about people not coming out speaking when I personally
spoke to you, Mr. Hart, Mr. Getty on the neighborhood stance prior to last
Monday on the New World Lounge Liquor License. I am sure last time when our
petition went unheard and ignored. The people of our community said why would
you listen now. Mr. Getty how often do you get out and walk and talk to your
constituents? I'm starting to believe that when they tell me when I walk in
that this city, this council give two flying middle fingers about our
neighborhoods and the people in our community. Its like you guys got a check
list working to work against what we are thriving to do. Criteria one, must
reek havoc on mayhem. Three shootings in less than a month. I don't want to
point any fingers but when New World was on Sumner there was a vast amount of
shootings and fights. Now that they've moved to Broadway that has halted and
now more shootings then fightings over there by Broadway. Criteria two, must
not provide but destroy jobs and development opportunities. Kwik Star just
spent hundreds of thousands of dollars developing that new store. More than
they have done to any Kwik Star in Waterloo, Iowa. Why not play off of that
growth and that development and deny something that's causing problems in our
area and put a real restaurant in there? Criteria three, must keep the Courier
busy with bad press. That right there speaks alone, itself alone. So I'm not
going to comment. I'm sorry I did not come here to hold your hand or send
someone down here to speak on our behalf to say we don't want them in our
neighborhood. New World Lounge is nothing more than a bar working under the
cloak of a restaurant. Anyone with a elementary education could tell you that.
And I'm sure if you guys were to done an audit correctly it would have said the
same thing. The respectful thing would have been to do was to put that table
that. And wait till that investigation of that last shooting was done to see
what really happened. You guys didn't even do that. You didn't give our
neighborhood an opportunity. And like I said I want to go again to say how
disgusted I am. Very disgusted.
Frieda Weems, first I'd like to get a point of clarification if I could then
maybe the attorney Walsh could help some. Is there a city ordinance or law that
• •
• •
October 4, 2010
Page 7
specifically sets time constraints on oral presentations for City Council
meetings?
Mayor Clark, there is no city ordinance. There is a council policy and
procedure. There is no ordinance, no.
Ms. Weems, and then okay. That's written. That's not a document thing, that's
just an acceptance policy?
Mayor Clark, yes.
Ms. Weems, it's a written policy?
Mayor Clark, yes.
Ms. Weems, and I want to also before getting started I want to note that there
are other people who want to speak and do oral presentations so in the past
especially in the absence of Mr. Hart the council has abruptly entertained
motions in a meeting to end the meeting. Not just the oral presentation but to
end the meetings. And abruptly walk out with no vote. And if that is to happen
again tonight. You should entertain that such a motion but should you do that
an violate the publics right to be heard I am asking that you handle that motion
in the same manner that you handle other motions. Calling for a second and then
calling for a council vote. So at least its reflecting the minutes who vote
according to that.
Mayor Clark, Ms. Weems I'm going to ask you to respect our policy that everyone
else does and to limit your comments to three minutes. And while I go over that
routinely by a minute or two I am not going to go over that with you. You have
three minutes to speak. And I would appreciate it if you would adhere to that
policy and respect the dignity of this proceeding.
Ms. Weems, and you will respect me being here giving oral presentations. Two
weeks ago Mr. Clark you stated that you had conducted an independent
investigation in the matters of the appointments of Human Rights Commissioners.
The Waterloo Human Rights Director, Robert Stringer and Human Rights employee
Rebecca Johnson. The requested audited information regarding Waterloo Human
Rights 2008 and 2009 complaints. And the negative e-mail transmittal from
Councilperson Cole's VGM e-mail address to the Waterloo Human Rights Director
Abraham Funchess city e-mail address and later copied and provided to
commissioners. This investigation was also to provide policies and procedures
regarding the aforementioned matters. Last week we requested the findings from
the independent investigation and you stated that the findings were on file with
the City Clerk's office. On Tuesday, September 28, 2010 I went and got a copy
of the investigative, supposedly the investigative findings and I was only given
a letter of not quite a page in a half letter from your office. Which basically
summarized your support for Abraham Funchess. Today we are still requesting the
findings from that independent investigation.
Mayor Clark, I have that in investigative form.
Ms. Weems, can I finish first and then you can provide the documents to me?
Thank you okay.
Mayor Clark, now you may go ahead.
Ms. Weems, okay. So today we are still asking for those findings and you stated
that the city had conducted and concluded those that investigation. In addition
to these findings we want written confirmation also that the of the
investigation and the name of that independent body that you used for that
investigation. Also we request the process for bringing the nominations to the
city council for approval. And the time frame for public notification of the
nomination and the procedures, Please note that in the written confirmation
that we're requesting that if those guidelines were followed regarding the
nomination process on September 7, 2010 when you gave the vote to the four
nominees for the commissioner's position. Also, we are requesting finally we
are requesting in writing the city's position on the conflict of interest that
appears to be existing with the city attorney, Jim Walsh and Councilperson
Carolyn Cole regarding these investigations we are requesting from the city.
Mayor Clark, my findings are in front of you Ms. Weems. And with that document
which is in the form of an investigation and the formal reply you have my final
reply regarding your requests for an investigation. The investigation was done
by myself.
Ms. Weems, you said this was the findings and now your saying that this is the
findings?
Mayor Clark, it's the same thing in a different form.
October 4, 2010 Page 8
Ms. Weems, no it's not the same thing. They are different; they are not the
same thing.
Mayor Clark, let me finish please. This is our final conversation about this.
If you would like to have an investigation by an independent agency of any kind
you are more than welcome to do so.
Ms. Weems, no you said you did it. I'm asking you for what you said you had
done.
Mayor Clark, I did an investigation and you have the reply.
Ms. Weems, you said this was on file last week. This was the investigation.
This in on record. Now you are presenting this to me today saying that this is
actually the finding?
Mayor Clark, it's the same thing.
Ms. Weems, it is not the same thing. We are looking at a page and a half of a
letter. Would you like to see it? Would you like to see what I got? Because
maybe the City Clerk has something wrong. Is that a possibility?
Mayor Clark, okay we are done.
Ms. Weems, we are not done. We need clarification on this.
Mayor Clark, you have a minute and a half Ms. Weems and then you are going to be
done.
Ms. Weems, why don't you go to the next person who also has the same questions
answered. These are not the same. You are just giving this to me now. If this
what was on file or was this on file? Because then the City Clerk gave me
something wrong.
Mayor Clark, the information is the same.
Ms. Weems, it is not the same. You want me to come forward and give it? Here
is a letterhead from your office and here is something that says just the City
of Waterloo. They are two different things. So I just want clarification. Is
this what we are suppose to, are these the findings? Or are these the findings?
Mayor Clark, I am done answering your questions.
Ms. Weems, you have to answer. You have to be accountable for your actions.
You said you conducted an independent study. I'm asking you to follow up. Is
this the study or excuse me is this the findings? Or is this the findings? You
said this was on file. You are on record for saying this was on file last week.
We went and got it. It's a letter of you summarizing your support for Mr.
Funchess and it addresses nothing. And that's why we're here today to request
the information that was requested earlier that you said that you would provide.
I just want clarification. If you can't do it, fine say that for the record.
No problem. But you do have to be accountable for what you say or promise to
the public.
Mayor Clark, thank you. Is there someone else?
Anna Mae Weems, Waterloo, Iowa, I'm here. I think Frieda did a good job for me
I couldn't do what she done. I don't know who's daughter she is she done a good
job. I'm here to talk about my school East High School. We are having a 75th
Homecoming Anniversary and we want it real big. And we are inviting a lot of
people. I'm a former Hall of Famer. And our Hall of Famer's this year we got a
fine group. And we are having a bonfire, pep rally, parade and big reception,
and I think winning game. And we need all of you there. So I'm asking everyone
in this city just over the street there to be sure and come to the pep rally.
Give these young people your support at the pep rally. I'm saying it one more
time, please come to our 75th Homecoming for East High School. That's this
Friday. It starts at one o'clock. We've got plenty of food and everything for
you.
Mayor Clark, and the festivities are going to be at the high school?
Ms. Anna Weems, yes. We are inviting the City Hall and I have some invitations
here. Every department we want you to come there. And we're going to ask the
students to recognize all or our returnees, students and guests.
Mayor Clark, very good. Thank you for the information Ms. Weems it's very much
appreciated.
