RESOLUTIONS

that "Resolution approving Golf Course Pro Shop Agreement with Nathaniel Lubs to
provide golf pro services at Gates Park Golf Course for two years with an
expiration date of December 31, 2013; and authorize Mayor Pro Tem and City Clerk
to execute said document -Submitted by JB Bolger, Golf & Downtown Area
Maintenance Manager", be adopted. Ayes: Five. Absent: Cole, Greenwood.
Councilperson Hart, Paul could you say a little about the contract?
Paul Huting, Leisure Services Director, we are asking that the council go along
with the recommendation to have Mr. Lubs contract in accordance with or the same
as the other two golf pros. Last year was his first year. It went well for his
flow of business and we would like it to be the same as the other two. When
this is up the other two will be up and then at that time we can renegotiate
terms for all three. Basically it's the same as the agreement that we have with
him now but we are just extending it to be the same terms or timeframe as the
other two.
Councilperson Schmitt, I would just like to reaffirm what Paul said. Last year
there was all kinds of real positive comments with the new golf pro out there.
So I think we got a young guy and he's doing a real nice job for us.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor Pro Tem assigned No. 2011-167.

2011 Mark's Park Play Area and Performance Structure, Contract No. 773 -Submitted
by Jamie Knutson, P.E., Associate Engineer", be adopted. Ayes: Five. Absent:
Cole, Greenwood.
Councilperson Schmitt, could I ask for a little update on this?
Doug Schindel, AECOM Project Manager, Mark's Park is being built in conjunction
with a lower plaza that is being constructed now. You can see the walls in
place for Mark's Park adjacent to US Bank. And that was constructed under the
lower plaza project, which is currently being completed. The Mark's Park Play
Equipment, which this resolution is for will be coming in after PCI completes a
little bit more of the grading and infrastructure work. Which includes the
water for Mark's Park. So we are hoping that the contractor, Prairie, for
Mark's Park Performance Structure will be coming in this spring and completing
that work along with the Lower Plaza construction. And then the upper plaza, as
you know, is the next one that we just bid. That's going to be the elevated
plaza area. It extends straight out what would be the performance structure.
And then heads straight in alignment with 3rd Street there at the intersection of
Cedar Street.
Councilperson Schmitt, is the expectation that the dam is going to be
functioning this year?
Mr. Schindel, we are hoping late fall if it is. We want to get all of the
construction completed along the river. Also included tonight was resolution
for the north trail. Which is going to be the connection from where the
overlook project left off right by the dam between 4th and Park Avenue. We will
extend that trail and pave that connection which will be kind of the final
March 14, 2011
Page 5
connection further north of the recreational trail riverwalk loop from George
Wyth Park all the way to 18th Street. So that will be kind of the final
connection there. Before we raise the bladder we want to make sure that work is
done because when the bladder is raised the water will be within a couple of
feet of that wall that is constructed now. So we want to make sure the
contractor is completed with that construction on the north side. Then also the
lower plaza on the south side. We would like all of that to be completed before
we raise the bladder. We are hoping that construction will be done late summer
into the fall. And possibly be able to raise it in late fall.

P.E., City Engineer", be adopted. Ayes: Five. Absent: Cole, Greenwood.
Councilperson Jones, what is the time frame on this?
Dennis Gentz, Assistant City Engineer, I think it's this construction season. I
can get back to you on the specifics.
Councilperson Jones, my understanding is that it's going to be down to one lane
and controlled by a signal.
Mr. Gentz, on 4th Street yes. The other two locations will have two-way traffic
at all times and 4th Street will be one -lane with a signal control.
Councilperson Jones, and no sidewalk which is kind of a bigger problem I
thought. It's quite an active place for walkers and bikers.
Councilperson Hart, is there anyway around that?
Mr. Gentz, I can talk to the Department of Transportation to see if there is
some other arrangement made to provide pedestrian access. To see what the width
is they obviously have to have a work area and traffic area so it's really
limited by the width of the bridge it's self. But we can follow up with them
and find out if there's some other way.
Councilperson Hart, if you could find out and get an e-mail to Councilperson
Jones that would work.
Mr. Gentz, okay we can do that.

that "Resolution approving Conditional Purchase Offer with Arlin and Dolores
Zevenbergen, for 26 acres of wooded land on Sans Souci Island Parcel no. 8913-
15-326-002, $53,000.00 in conjunction with the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
(HMGP) Property Acquisition Project, and authorize Mayor Pro Tem and City Clerk
to execute said document -Submitted by Aric Schroeder, City Planner", be adopted.
Ayes: Five. Absent: Cole, Greenwood.
Councilperson Jones, I was curious why we are looking at purchasing those 26
acres of wooded land considering they weren't really impacted by the flood?
Aric Schroeder, City Planner, the 26 acres is wooded acres on San Souci Island.
Other than the area where the houses were there was the 20 houses and
approximately 5 acres that was kind of a park area where garages sat. We have
acquired all 20 of the houses and that five acres where the garages sat. What
makes up the rest of the island is a 26 acre wooded parcel owned by the
Zevenbergen's. And approximately 134 acre parcel pretty much completely wooded
area owned by the San Souci Association Inc. When we were originally looking at
the HMGP funded primarily through FEMA funds we initially did not think that the
rest of that island would qualify under that program. Those two parcels were
included in our application for the 100 percent funded CDBG buyout. Which was
approved and then it was later determined that we could include the two parcels
on the HMGP so they were moved over to that one. As to why, yes they are just
wooded land and there is not structures that received physical damage. They are
allowed to be acquired because they are adjacent to the property to what is
being acquired in general. The thought process is if we could have ownership to
the entire island for potential control of future uses from a recreational
standpoint. It was just thought it might be better to control the whole island
as opposed to just the 10 acres or so that would be at the south end of the
island. That is the basic premise that we thought it would be better off for
whatever the future use is going to be is that the City of Waterloo hasn't made
that decision yet. Leisure Services has been working with the County
Conservation looking at future use. They are more focusing in on what the
Sherwood area and future recreational use is going to look like. But the San
Souci component is part of that too. I think the general consensus was that if
you can get the entire island for future recreational purposes that would be
better.
Councilperson Getty, I was very happy to see that these two parcels have now
been included. Because of the fact that once we bought our initial purchases
from the homeowners out there we would have to maintain a road or access to
their property. So it's a good thing that it has been included. And I think it
would be a great thing for the city once we decide what to do with that.
Mr. Schroeder, when we acquired the five acres which also included the road that
goes through that property now as part of that we did provide an access easement
for San Souci Association to maintain access to their 134 acres of woods in the
event that it would not get sold to the city. So yes that would have been an
issue. The Zevenbergen parcel, there is no written access easement agreement.
It's a land lock parcel but there is some prescriptive access rights there.

Paul Huting, Leisure Services Director, I have some good news. We are going to
open the golf courses officially in the morning of Wednesday, March 16, 2011.
The exact time depends on the frost situation but you can get your clubs cleaned
up because spring is here.
Councilperson Hart, there is a lot of people looking forward to that. Another
announcement that I'd like to make is Honor Flights is having a bowl-a-thon
hosted by Cadillac Lanes on April 12-17, 2011 to help our veterans see the
National Monuments. Businesses or individuals can make a cash donation to Honor
Flight bowl-a-thon in care of Craig White at 1563 Oakwood Drive, Waterloo, Iowa,
50703. Or, which I am encouraging Mr. Getty to do, is form a five -person team
and ask each person to raise a particular amount of money. It's a great
opportunity to help our veterans go to the National Monuments. So we are asking
folks to support it. If you have any questions or need to reserve a day and
time the dates and shifts are: April 12-15, 2011 at 6:00 p.m.; April 16, 2011
2:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.; April 17, 2011 12:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Contact
Cadillac Lanes at (319) 234-6888 if you have questions or need additional
information.
