company and not the city.
Forrest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, encouraged the city to stop spending money as people and
businesses are hurting financially all across the city. He encouraged the city to downsize or stop
hiring new employees.

employees when they were speaking during the meeting last week. He raised several questions
about information that has been shared about sewage backup issues .
Amy Faley, 727 Home Park Blvd., questioned if the Mayor reached out to the insurance company
and the governor. She commented that several parts of the minutes stated that the words were
unintelligible and that it looks like the city is purposefully trying to cover up information.

He explained that he has not yet had a conversation with the insurance company but did have a
conversation with the governor's office and has spoken with the Department of Homeland
Management, Lorie Glover of Black Hawk County Emergency Management and Operation
Threshold. He shared that the 200 percent poverty threshold cannot be unilaterally changed as the
threshold was put in place by the legislature.
Lori De Vries, 902 Home Park Blvd., commented that she hopes that the June 9th rain event is
included in the count of homes damaged.
Rikki Shaver, 727 Home Park Blvd., requested an update on the number of homes affected as the
figure given by Randy Bennett last week was apparently low, she also asked how the number of
homes affected are determined She commented that fewer of her neighbors are in attendance
tonight because many of them are at home installing backflow preventers and that her quote for a
backflow preventer was $2,000.
Mayor Hart questioned if we have an update as to the number of homes affected.
Randy Bennett, Public Works Division Manager, commented that city wide, 87 homes were
affected, with 39 of those being in the Home Park area.
Sharon Juon questioned if the city has updated numbers as of June 9th.

Randy Bennett confirmed that it was from people calling in.
Mayor Hart commented that it was the governor's office who chose the June 22nd start date.
Dave Boesen strongly suggests that anyone who has not yet reported water damage on those dates,
do so.
Randy Bennett commented that the number to report water damage is 319-291-4553.
Mrs. Klein encouraged people to call the city to alert them about backup issues so that we can better
understand where issues are occurring. She explained that while walking through Precinct 5 of
Ward 3 this week, she learned that the 600 and 700 block of Hickory Street has also experienced
flooding. She also encouraged citizens to check on their storm sewer intakes in their neighborhoods.
Mr. Morrissey commented that the city has $80,000 in CIP allocated to the Dunsmore House and
encouraged the Mayor to apply pressure to repair the historical house. He reminded citizens that this
is the week that RAGBRAI was supposed to come to Waterloo. Experience Waterloo is hosting
W.A.G.R.A.W. (Waterloo Annual Great Ride Around Waterloo) and provided an overview of the
event. He also encouraged everyone to wear a mask.

RESOLUTIONS
158905 - Morrissey/Boesen
July 20, 2020 Page 8
that "Resolution approving an Amendment to a Master Development Agreement with North Crossing,
LLC, originally executed January 25, 2016, to extend Project 5 deadline to December 31, 2020, and
authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute said documents," be adopted. Roll call vote -Ayes:
Seven. Motion carried.
Mr. Boesen questioned why the amendment was not brought to council sooner when we knew the
developer was not going to meet the benchmarks.
Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Director, commented that they did not know
what date to put on the document until they completed platting.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2020-556.
158906 - Morrissey/Boesen
that "Resolution approving a Management Agreement with Republic Parking System, Inc., effective
July 20, 2020 and expiring June 30, 2025, in the amount of $40,000.00 annually, and authorizing the
Mayor to execute said agreement," be adopted. Roll call vote -Ayes: Four. Nays: Three (Klein, Feuss,
and Juon). Motion carried.
David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, questioned what the city gets out of the contract with Republic
Parking.
Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer, explained that the city gets all of the revenue from the
meters and parking ramp and carries all of the expenses to operate it.
158907 - Morrissey/Boesen
That the agreement is effective for one year from 7/20/2020 to 7/20/2021 and that the city will
implement on -street parking in the following manner: No less than one hour of free parking on the
following segments of streets, 4th Street from Franklin to Bluff Street (Washington Street); the streets
intersecting 4th Street between Park Avenue and 5th Street from Franklin to Bluff which include
Mulberry, Lafayette, Sycamore, Cedar, Commercial and Jefferson; repeat daily overtime parking
violators will have fines doubled tripled for second and third violations for any given day; and
implementation of this amendment will be completed by no later than July 20, 20201.
Mrs. Juon requested that Main Street Waterloo comment on their proposal for free parking.
Jessica Rucker, Main Street Waterloo, commented that they have been working on a proposal that
includes transforming the loading zones into Grab and Go zones. She explained that Mr. Morrissey
has been in contact with her regarding his amendments and that Main Street Waterloo would support
those amendments in an effort to support downtown businesses, and clarified that the project they are
working on is separate from this.
Mayor Hart commented that he and Jessica Rucker toured the Grab and Go zones.
Jessica Rucker commented that there are at least 20 loading zones currently and the proposal that she
is working on would actually eliminate a few of these and enable those to be paid parking spaces.
Marty Petersen, City Attorney, expressed his concern that the agenda item did not provide the public
notice that there would be an amendment to parking arrangements, and added that taking such action
would also require an ordinance amendment as well.
Mrs. Juon questioned if Mr. Morrissey's proposal is in addition to the Grab and Go project and if all
of the parking meters would be changed to one -hour free parking.
Mr. Morrissey confirmed.
Mrs. Juon clarified that the amendment changes all on -street locations to one hour free parking and
questioned how the city would make up the revenue.
Mr. Morrissey commented that this would give one year to implement and develop.
July 20, 2020 Page 9
Mrs. Juon commented that she does not support the amendment without addressing loss revenue and
that the amendment as proposed was not to explore but to implement.
Michelle Weidner commented that ordinance issue that Mr. Petersen mentioned is separate from the
management contract and that we still need clarify that Republic is willing to accept a one-year
contract. She also expressed uncertainty that the meters could be adjusted per the proposed
amendment and if approved, could require a large capital investment.
Mrs. Klein commented that she does not support the amendment as it leaves many questions open.
Mr. Boesen commented that the original 5-year contract specifically stated that at the end of that term
it would be extended on a year-to-year basis, so the purpose of tonight's resolution is to extend it to
an additional 5-year contract. He commented on the loss of revenue, and cost of new meters. He
instead proposed two-hour on 4th Street from Franklin to Bluff in an effort to help downtown
businesses.
158908 - Boesen/Morrissey
To create two hour parking from Franklin to Washington.
Mr. Amos commented that there is a lot of discussion going on that have not included the Chief
Financial Officer and Republic Parking.
Mayor Hart questioned what action can be taken at this time.
Marty Petersen explained that with the agenda item as written, it would be appropriate to approve the
contract or amend the terms of the contract, but any proposed change to free parking, or any change
thereto, would have to be done by an ordinance.
Mayor Hart asked for clarification on the term of the contract.
Michelle Weidner explained that if Republic agrees to a one-year contract, we do not know what their
terms will be for subsequent years.
Mr. Morrissey requested to remove from his motion everything other than the term changing to one
year, with the stipulation that a work session will be held on parking meters and spaces in the next
couple of weeks so that an ordinance change can be considered.
Mrs. Juon commented that she is in favor of approving the contract for 5-years and continue to discuss
free parking to minimize affecting the outcome of the current proposed contract.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2020-557.
158909 - Morrissey/Boesen
That the agreement is effective for one year from 7/20/2020 to 7/20/2021. Roll call vote -Ayes: Four.
Nays: Three (Klein, Feuss, and Juon). Motion carried.
Mr. Grieder questioned if the city signs a 5-year contract, does it specify how we do things or could
we go back and make the changes Mr. Morrissey is proposing.
Michelle Weidner explained the contract is for them to enforce the parking laws, and that budgeting
for the changes would need to be done.
Mr. Morrissey questioned the recitals section of the management agreement.
Mr. Boesen commented that if the city is budgeting a neutral then any reduction to parking revenue
would create a shortfall that will need to be made up somehow.
Mrs. Klein commented that there is a potential for taxes to increase, so either way people will pay for
parking.
July 20, 2020 Page 10
Mrs. Juon questioned if Republic will accept a one-year agreement.
Michelle Weidner commented that Jon Rouse is out of town and not available to respond at this time.
Mr. Amos commented that his concern is that a one-year contract has not yet been discussed with
Republic so even if council approves the amendment it is possible that the city could end up with no
one managing the parking.
Mayor Hart confirmed.

$3,219,441.48, and approving the contract, bonds, and certificate of insurance in conjunction with the
FY 2020 Asphalt Overlay Program, Contract No. 992, and authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to
execute said documents," be adopted. Roll call vote -Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, stated that the chief financial officer said at one point that Waterloo
has a failing tax base. He commented on the fact that he believes the city puts money into whims and
long shots then has no money to put into essential projects.
Michelle Weidner commented that she is not aware of what she said that could have been construed
as Waterloo having a failing tax base. She explained the process of how cities receive street funding
and why she is cautious about awarding the contract.
Jamie Knutson, City Engineer, explained that they are going to do a portion of the project then stop
construction to reassess financing for the project. If finances are looking good, they will continue with
construction.
Mayor Hart clarified.
Mr. Grieder questioned if the second phase needs to be bid out separately.
Michelle Weidner commented that by the time the first segments are complete they will have a better
idea if the funding will be in place for the last portion, and thanked Mr. Dakovic for the suggestion to
split the project.
Mayor Hart commented that this will give the opportunity to continue with construction.
Mr. Boesen thanked city staff and Mr. Dakovic for working together on the project. He questioned if
the second phase would come back to council for approval.
Jamie Knutson commented that it would be up to council whether the second phase comes back to
council for approval.

Mayor Hart commented that staff should bring phase two back to council for approval.
Mr. Morrissey questioned if the resolution should be amended to reflect separating the phases.
Milt Dakovic, Aspro, Inc., commented that making the suggested change to split the project would
likely require a re -bidding of the project, and said if the contract is awarded, there will be plenty of
time to notify council of the second phase portion before the first phase is complete.
Mr. Boesen commented that he is not in favor of rebidding Phase II but that they come back to council
prior to starting work on Phase II.
Mrs. Juon requested clarification on whether council will just be notified on Phase II, or voting to
approve it.
Mayor Hart clarified that staff will provide an update about the financial standing of the project.
Michelle Weidner commented that the council could discuss or approve a notice to proceed with the
second phase of the contract.
Jamie Knutson concurs with the notice to proceed.
Mr. Morrissey questioned if anything should be put into the resolution.
Martin Peterson, City Attorney, commented that language should be added to the resolution.
