abandoned properties not being sold at auction.
Sophia Mays, 400 block of Dane, addressed Mayor Hart regarding conversations about Ms. Mays,
he may have had with Black Hawk County Attorney, Brian Williams.
Mr. Grieder thanked the police department and federal partnering agency regarding a recent police
action that resulted in the removal of guns and offenders from the streets of Waterloo and questioned
Noel Anderson regarding his research or progress regarding additional childcare facilities and the
availability to citizens.
Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Director, explained his department has been
doing research and communicating with daycare businesses in the area and the state to determine
what is available in the area and potential for offering incentives to bring in additional daycare
providers. Anderson indicated they determined TIF incentives cannot be used and they therefore
need to come up with other funding sources. Anderson stated he will communicate with existing
businesses with regards to daycare availability and how it impacts their employees and business.
Mr. Boesen expressed his appreciation for the fire proclamation and recommended sleeping with
bedroom doors closed as this also saves lives during a fire. Mr. Boesen recognized Chuck Hosier as
a valuable employee, retiring from the dispatch center with the City. Mr. Boesen also asked the
Council that as Title 1 of the City Code was discussed at length,passed and adopted by the Council,
that those measures be followed with regards to the "Public Comment" section of the agenda and
registering with the City Clerk's office to speak during Council meetings.
Mr. Morrissey explained he is not in favor of only being allowed to speak once registered and asked
the council to change the language in Title 1 to allow speakers three minutes if they chose to speak
during a council meeting without being required to register. Morrissey expressed his concerns with
the lack of maintenance of the limestone welcoming sign and asked that it be cleaned and returned to
its original state.
Mr. Morrissey thanked the police for their cooperation and willingness to work together on the
delivery of uniforms for removal/replacement of patches. He indicated patches are now available for
the final batch of uniforms and that he, along with council members Amos and Juon would be taking
them to Des Moines for replacement patches.
