PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mrs. Klein commented that the city is missing community building moments by not holding the
meetings in person. By not holding meetings in person, it is discriminating in the sense that there are
groups of people that are unable to participate electronically.
Kelley Felchle, City Clerk, explained that the Mayor informed staff that the council meetings could
resume in person at the first meeting in May. She further explained that the reason for waiting until
May, in part, is due to public hearing notices for April that have already been published with
instructions for participating in the meeting via Zoom.
Mr. Morrissey commented that in January, the Mayor and the head of the Planning and Zoning
Department agreed that Mr. Gary Stephens and Mr. Willie Outlaw would have their individual
agreements with the city completed by the end of March, and it has not happened. He then listed the
various dates the city repeated these promises and the dates they could expect the agreements to be
complete, yet nothing has happened. He stated the reasons given as to why there were delays but has
since learned they were untrue. Mr. Stephens has seen the cost of his development increase by over
$10,000 due to the lack of action. He asked staff to live up to their word and be honorable on these
matters. He commented on the ultra-high performance concrete for bridge restoration and repair as
reported by the EDC Weekly Newsletter from the United States Department of Transportation and
Federal Highway Administration. Because of its superior strength and durability and the cost
effectiveness, he questioned why the city is not using this ultra-high performance concrete on the
two bridges about to be reconstructed. He questioned when the Mayor would be getting an
emergency entrance and exit for the businesses at Grandview and Clark and explained why this
should be flagged as a high priority.
159733 - Juon/Grieder
that the above oral comments be received and placed on file. Voice vote-Ayes: Seven. Motion
carried.

and they referred him to the City Attorney.
April 5, 2021 Page 8
Martin Petersen, City Attorney, explained that though the low bidder did not provide a check, they
did post a security bond, and he does not find this irregularity to be fatal to the procedure. He
therefore recommends council proceed and award the contract to the low bidder.

Mr. Amos questioned the type of bond posted as security.
Martin Petersen explained that the security provided by the low bidder was in the form of a business
check, not a certified check. He stated that city staff announced on the day of the bid opening that
security could be posted in the form of a check, and because of this,the city could be exposed to more
liability if the lowest bidder is not awarded the contract.
Mr. Amos questioned if business checks have been accepted in the past, and if not, it would be his
concern that we would be setting a precedent by allowing this to move forward.
Mrs. Klein questioned if all of the written requirements are listed in writing, and did a person at the
counter contradict the written direction.
Kelley Felchle explained the process of receiving bid documents though the clerk's office and noted
that there is no conversation between the bidders and the clerk's staff on any requirements of the
bidder.
Mr. Morrissey questioned if the money presented by the low bidder was "good"money and if the city
must take another bid if there was a mistake made by staff.
Martin Petersen commented that the city could reject any or all bids.
Kelley Fechle explained that if council and the department rejected all bids, the process would need
to start over.
Mr.Amos questioned if there have been instances in the past where bid packets included non-certified
checks.
Kelley Felchle confirmed and stated it is not uncommon.

ORDINANCES
159778 - Klein/Grieder
that "an ordinance amending the City of Waterloo City Code of Ordinances by amending Subsection
B, Prohibitions and Use, of Section 13, Fireworks, of Chapter 2, General Offenses, of Title 5, Police
Regulations", be received,placed on file, considered and passed for the first time.
Geri Thomsberry, 704 Sheridan Rd., commented that she supports banning fireworks and believes that
the council is deliberately discriminating against a segment of the population of the city that are
harmed by fireworks.
Justin Bartlett, 2019 Crossroads Blvd., commented that he is the managing partner of Crossroads
Fireworks. He explained that a ban will reduce usage during the three days because law abiding
citizens will follow the rules or other people will not shoot off fireworks. He said his business follows
the rules and he understands that he accepted the risk of a possible ban in the future. In August,council
voted against a ban for this summer and because of that vote and related conversation, they felt
confident in extending their six-figure lease at the Waterloo store. He stated that if council passes a
ban now, they would not get to undo their lease extension and he will be on the hook for that money
regardless if they have the revenue or not. He would like council to honor the vote they passed in
August.
Mr. Morrissey commented that the ordinance has gone back and forth on what to do with fireworks.
He then reviewed the changes the council made back in August.
159779 - Morrissey/Amos
To postpone first reading to the second meeting of August. Roll call vote-Ayes: Two. Nays: Five
(Boesen, Klein, Feuss, Grieder, and Juon). Motion failed.
Mr. Amos commented that he supports postponing the vote.
Mrs. Klein commented that she got a text from a resident on Kern Street that people are already
shooting off fireworks in his neighborhood. She explained that the council has a responsibility to
protect the citizens of Waterloo. She encouraged council to vote down postponing the item.

Mr. Boesen questioned if the other cities responded to Mayor Hart's inquiry.
Mayor Hart commented that the Mayor of Evansdale said he would reach out to council members and
ask for their thoughts but he has not heard back.
159780 - Boesen/Feuss
To postpone until April 19th and in the interim have two council members work with the Police
Department to come up with a mechanism of enforcement. Roll call vote-Ayes: Six. Nays: One
(Morrissey). Motion carried.
Mr. Morrissey commented that enforcement in part is responding when calls are made. The
amendment approved last August were additional guidelines and changes that tightened things up.
Mrs. Klein commented that the people using fireworks are not obeying laws. She explained that she
has completed walking through twenty-eight of the thirty precincts and that people in nearly every
area have talked to her about the fact they want fireworks banned. She stated that she agrees with Mr.
Boesen that they need to work with the Police Department on enforcement.
Mr.Amos commented that he will support the postponement because it's important to talk to the police
department and get their opinion on how enforcement could work. He stated that he could not support
a ban.
Mrs. Juon commented that she supports the ban and will support the motion to postpone.
Mr. Feuss commented that he would be happy to work with Mr. Boesen on trying to figure out
enforcement. He noted that he has not changed his vote from the beginning and appreciates the
suggestion to look deeper into enforcement before voting on the matter.
Mr. Boesen commented that he is just asking if a couple council members can work with the police
department to come up with a plan on enforcement. Mr. Boesen volunteered to work with the police
department.
Mrs. Klein commented that she would vote to postpone for two weeks.
Mrs. Juon requested that the Mayor follow up with Cedar Falls and Evansdale during the
postponement.
Mr. Morrissey asked the council to vote down the postponement because enforcement has already
been discussed.
