PUBLIC COMMENTS
Terry Stevens, 1629 Ackermant Street, explained that the city has a long way to go until equity is
achieved. She stated that often diversity and other buzzwords are smoke screens that are used to
state that change is being made when actions are not put into place. Back the Blue is broadening the
already deep division between the caucasian and black/brown communities. Votes must be used
wisely. The constant harassment of Chief Fitzgerald needs to stop. He is striving to create better
department. The Back the Blue campaign is an effort to get people to support the police without
question. She commented that the actions of one councilwoman are racist. Let's stop playing the
game and come together for the betterment of Waterloo.
Philip Oltrogge, 814 W. 2nd Street, addressed the council about the proposed changes to Ridgeway
Avenue. He asked that the council not convert Ridgeway to single lane roads.
Jamie Knutson, City Engineer, stated that Ridgeway is slated for resurfacing next year between
Kimball and Ansborough and it will remain a four-lane road.
Sherry Gable, 518 S. Fork Lane,provided an overview of how TIFs work.
Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Director, shared comments regarding how
the city utilizes TIF.
Dwayne Eilers, 1205 1/2 Bishop Street, stated that all of the citizens of Waterloo are getting taxed to
death so that the Mayor and others can have a big job. He stated that people are leaving Waterloo
because this is not a good place to live. He stated that Landlords are being taxed to death and the
only people that benefit are developers, like the people who are building the theme park. He stated
that he is going to sell all of his properties and leave town after 80 years of living here.
David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, asked that agenda item 1.A.7 be removed from the consent agenda
for further discussion. He also asked that the council meeting be limited to the people's business and
not political campaigning. We need to come together and build bridges, not walls.
Helen Seenster, 4040 Homer Street, shared that she is excited about all the positive things taking
place in Waterloo,but she was upset by a very negative flyer that she received at her home.
Mr. Boesen stated that he would like to see an independent body brought in to evaluate morale of
employees in the police department and in all other departments. He shared that he would like to see
two council members placed on the CIP committee because the council does not see the finished
product until it comes to council. He added that he thinks it would help the CIP process as a whole.
He asked that an overlay district be created out on Shaulis and Hess Road to encourage the type of
businesses the city and council want to see out there. He asked that the Dysart/Shaulis intersection
November 1, 2021 Page 2
be paved and opened first to avoid a fourth construction season of being closed or partially closed.
Two weeks ago he asked about the contractor who spilled sealer outside the SportsPlex and hoped
that they are working to remove that as well as the materials he has sitting in the parking lot. He
questioned when the last Grout Museum update occurred and asked that they come back to council
and give a work session. He thanked everyone that put themselves out there to run for office.
Mr. Grieder commented that tomorrow is the last day of voting and encouraged everyone to get out
to vote.
Mr. Morrissey requested the indulgence of Mayor and his fellow Council members to read a lengthy
prepared statement. He shared that he recently participated in two webinars. One which dealt with
storm water issues and the second was titled"Vision Zero."Vision Zero has been adopted in various
communities around the U.S. with a goal to set sights through strategies developed by the
community and the leaders of the community to have zero traffic fatalities. He hopes that the Mayor
and future council will take up both of these issues. He shared that he is about 2/3rds of the way
through the police chief's strategic plan and commended him on the detail, thought, and
professionalism contained therein. He continued by stating that he is filing a formal complaint
against Mrs. Klein in the form of a censure for her repeated inaccurate statements to the public. He
read nine reasons for censuring Mrs. Klein.
Mrs. Juon commented that as Mayor Pro Tem she accepts the allegations and will refer it to the City
Attorney for investigation.
