PUBLIC COMMENTS

to help save that planet and to give
something back. He stated that his
goal is to help clean up the cabbage
patch. He stated that he wrote a book
for family and friends and wants to
make it public for all.
Elizabeth Carson, 1108 Vine, shared
that her concern is for the Police
Department. She questioned if the
Police Department takes en oath to
their logo or to the city. She shared
that the debate over the logo has
divided the community and that the
community needs to work together
with the Police Department to make a
difference in the community.
Chief Fitzgerald stated that the oath
the police officers take is to the
people of Waterloo, the state and the
constitution and democracy.
Todd Obadal, 124 Amity Drive,
commented that one of the topics that
came up during the Mayor's forum was
a claw back clause on the contract
with the former convention center
developer. He Shared that he took
issue with the fact that the contract
had not been presented to council
for a vote. He quoted a portion of city
code that talks about the process for
approving a city contract. He shared
that part of the code references the city
clerk is required to attest to contracts
on behalf of the city council. He asked
that the city attorney address whether
or not the contract is enforceable
without the city clerk's signature.
Dave Zellhoefer, acting City Attorney,
commented that employment
contracts are very uncommon at the
city and this is actually the first one
he is aware of in the past ten years.

an immediate answer to the question

that it is his understanding that this will
be reaffirmed before council in a few
weeks.

that he would like consent agenda
item b.5 removed for discussion,

with the Mayoral forum including

was basically excluded from the
discussion. He read the goals listed
in the City's Strategic Development

let the moderators, Northern Iowa
Student Government, know of his
comments and explained that this was
not held by the City of Waterloo.

good job.
