PUBLIC COMMENTS
Kelley Felchle, City Clerk, read comments received via email from three citizens regarding
Fireworks. All three did not support personal use of fireworks.
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, commented that a few weeks ago there was an article in the
Waterloo Courier that a youth was found guilty of killing another youth in the community. He
shared that an officer was trying to give lifesaving support to someone who had been shot while
people around him were harassing him. That gave a big blow to the community. In another
community, an officer killed someone at a parade and the community had a protest about that. In
our community, people held a rally that city employees attended. He encouraged everyone to do
better.
Mrs. Klein commented that someone put fireworks debris in her mailbox; she had many phone calls
from citizens who have autistic children that were upset about having fireworks shot off in their
neighborhood.
Chief Joel Fitzgerald shared statistics on fireworks calls over the July 4th holiday.
Brock Weliver, Fire Marshall, explained that Waterloo Fire Rescue received 18 calls for service.
Those were primarily grass fires that were easily extinguished by tamping out the flame.
Council members discussed fireworks usage and calls for service with the Police Chief and Fire
Marshall.
Mr. Feuss shared that RAGBRAI is coming to town in three weeks. This Friday, there will be a
town hall Zoom at 3:00 followed by an information session at 4:00.
Mr. Morrissey commented that the recreation trail construction seems stalled around Conger Street
and questioned if it will pick up again and be completed by RAGBRAI. He shared a shout out to
Marty Petersen and all those involved for their work on the Ban the Box lawsuit as the Supreme
Court ruled in favor of the city and stripped out some of the language in part. He added that the
July 6, 2021 Page 2
Racial Equity and Social Justice Toolkit needs to be passed. He asked to receive the number of
sidewalk squares that were sunken or not level.
Jamie Knutson, City Engineer, provided an update on construction and explained that he cannot
provide a specific count on sunken sidewalk panels versus broken panels as that information is
lumped together.
Mr. Grieder shared that volunteers are needed for RAGBRAI.
Mrs. Klein thanked the Supreme Court for upholding the Ban the Box initiative.
Mrs. Juon thanked Lauren Mork for her ongoing efforts to educate the local businesses on the
matter.
Mayor Hart thanked the council for their combined support and efforts.
