Todd Obadal, 124 Amity Drive, thanked Messrs. Loggins, Dryer, Chapman and Kammeyer for their
military service. He explained that the gentlemen that routinely sit in the back of the council
meeting have disagreement among themselves but that it is healthy and that they all can agree on
city accountability. He commented that it has almost been one year since the development
agreement was signed on the convention center and noted that one year ago the developer had
financing but that the financing has not been secured to date. He shared that the fire doors at the
convention center have not been up to code and that the city is responsible. He commented that a
discrepancy exists between waste that left Aplington and was received from Waterloo and that what
was received had a detrimental impact on the digester.
Jim Chapman, 224 Bertch, commented on the amount of calls for service for fireworks and that the
store at the intersection of Vermont and Byron already had three calls for service.
David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, commented that he does not believe the comments made at the
council meeting last week were pertinent to city business and asked the Mayor to control this.
Dwayne Eilers, 1205 %2 Bishop, commented last week he brought up a citation that he received at a
property he owns and pointed out that several properties nearby have similar violations but have not
been cleaned up and that city Code Enforcement needs to treat all properties the same.
Ronald Sichra, 1012 Denver Street, requested an extension for his sidewalk repair due to current
street repairs and provided his information to Jamie Knutson, Interim City Engineer.
Bruce Kaesser, CRC Apartments, thanked everyone for the work they do in providing service to the
City of Waterloo.
Mr. Morrissey commented that the trike park is now complete at Exchange Park and encouraged
citizens to take their children to visit. He thanked Leisure Services staff on their work to put a
concrete parking lot at the Boathouse. He stated that he has given the City Clerk a bicycle ordinance
that was adopted in Hudson and a resolution designating Highway 20 as a historic highway. He
commented on the need for the Telecommunications Commission to convene a meeting. He also
commented that the council should get together to change the fireworks ordinance. Finally, he
shared a history of Fred Becker, 2nd Lt. in 2nd Marine Division, and shared that a program will be
held in his honor on July 18, 2018, at 11:00am at the Fairview Cemetery. He requested a
recognition of Fred Becker at the next council meeting.
