PUBLIC COMMENTS
Shelia Beal, 315 Gayle Street, shared comments regarding construction that occurred on Maxine
Drive. She explained that the contractors should be required to fix their property correctly and that
she should not have to pay to fix her yard.
Sharon Howard, 1237 Maxine, explained that the contractor dug a ditch for the water main. She
stated that she fell in the ditch and the contractor asked her if she was ok. She told him that she did
not want the contractor, Hurst Contracting, to get too close to her fence. She said that they did not
restore her property to its original condition, and that she had been in contact with the Water Works,
and was told she should not be responsible for fixing her property.
Kelley Felchle, City Clerk, read a letter prepared by LaVerne Beal, 246 Zelmar Drive, that outlined
similar issues with damages to his property by the contractor.
Jamie Knutson, City Engineer, explained that the construction project was engineered and bid
through the city Engineering Department. The Water Works had a separate portion of the project
that they designed and inspected.
Jamie Knutson, City Engineer, commented that there currently is work being done by the Water
Works through ASPRO to repair all of the patches on Gayle Street.
Mr. Boesen commented that he and Mrs. Juon are council liaisons to the Water Works Board. He
stated that they have been discussing this issue and the location of the hydrant. The explanation he
received was that the hydrant needed to be located at the highest point so that they could bleed air
from the system during construction.
Shelia Beal commented that the no parking sign is the highest point.
Mr. Boesen commented that hydrant is supposed to be placed in the highest point in the water line,
not the highest point in the ground.
Mr. Morrissey commented that this neighborhood should be restored to the way it was prior to the
construction.
David Dryer, 3145 W. 4t' Street, commented that during the fireworks time he sent an email
shouting at the council members and that it was suggested that he attend the meeting. He was unable
to attend on July 6 but wanted to share his comments tonight. He shared that fireworks are still
being set off in his neighborhood. He asked that the council look at this for the New Year. He also
asked that agenda items number 12, 13 and the second number 8 be removed for discussion
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, he thanked the Mayor and council for allowing the ladies
who came to speak the time to explain their issue. He stated that the city is adding staff to every
July 19, 2021 Page 2
department, outsourcing work but not laying people off, and that the city needs to keep Goal 3 at
heart.
Randy Miller, 4408 Reflection Lane, explained that he is part of the Memorial Hall Commission and
asked for some support by helping put flags up in downtown Waterloo and paying for the flags in the
downtown district. They are flown from just before Memorial Day and are taken down after Irish
Fest. He shared that the members of the commission are aging and they need help with keeping
flags in downtown Waterloo. He shared that his number is 319-610-5213.
Mr. Boesen shared that there are two old railroad bridges on the Highway 63 trail that are out. He
has learned that the funding is requested in the CIP but has been rejected several times. He
questioned if there are alternative funding sources that can be utilized to repair the bridges.
Jamie Knutson, City Engineer, confirmed that both bridges are out and explained that they are
working feverishly to get sections of the trail finished for RAGBRAI. He confirmed that CIP
funding has been requested but have not been funded. He shared that there are 10 bridges along that
section of trail to Hudson that need repair. He added that the project would be designed and
inspected in house.
Mr. Morrissey asked that the funds to repair Park Avenue Bridge also go to street reconstruction. He
shared that RAGBRAI is a week from Wednesday and they need volunteers for the event and for
cleanup. He questioned what happens to all of the old concrete from the log site and sidewalk repair.
He requested an agreement that he and his friends could go out and look at the sidewalks that are
sunken.

Seven. Motion carried.

mobile food vendor and will not pay$45 dollars a day.
Kelley Felchle, City Clerk, provided an overview of the changes discussed at the work session.

Mrs. Juon questioned why no fee would be charged for a food truck based at an event.
Kelley Felchle clarified there will still be a fire inspection required for trucks based at special events,
but they will not be required to get a mobile food business license. She stated that we would be looking
at creating a special event license, which is very common in communities throughout Iowa.
Mr. Morrissey commented that some trucks park in the right-of-way and others on private property.
Each are governed differently and questioned how violations would be enforced. He questioned how
long trucks could remain in one place and noted the lack of a fine and penalty structure for vendors
who dump waste or other by-products. He said he would not be voting in favor of suspending the
rules so that the public could weigh in.

Code of Ordinances by adding a new Chapter 8, Shared Mobility Device License to Title 3, Business
and License Regulations. Roll call vote-Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, listed several questions he had about the ordinance.
Craig Bennett, License Manager for Bird, Inc., explained that the app could be changed to require a
scanned ID, but that could end up excluding individuals who do not have a license and this might be
their only mode of transportation. He commented that the injuries they have seen to this point are not
from the behavior of the riders,but due to the quality of the streets in Waterloo. He said it is very easy
to hurt yourself badly by the rocks and cracks in the road and that is one reason scooters on the
sidewalks.
Mrs. Juon clarified that tonight's vote is on the proposed amendments to what was already approved
previously.
Craig Bennett commented that as the program becomes more popular,people will go out and buy their
own scooters and will not be subject to the agreements and restrictions.
Mr. Morrissey requested the public be made aware of the ordinance that was already approved and
questioned the process of suspending a license for violations under Chapter 3-8-14. He also
Martin Petersen, City Attorney, provided an overview of the process if the Clerk finds that grounds
for denial, suspension, or revocation exists.
Mr.Amos questioned if this amendment passes tonight,would both companies have a new opportunity
