Mayor Hurley reviewed items on the council agenda for Monday, February 16, 2009 and the
following items were discussed.
Mayor Hurley reported that Larry Smith, Superintendent of Waste Management, is
recommending to accept the bid from Denver Construction for the drop off site recycling
collection and disposal program, although they were not the low bidder. Mr. Smith's letter will
explain why he did not accept the low bid.
Councilperson Greenwood asked about the lease agreement with Twin Sports Group for lease of
Waterloo Riverfront Stadium and how that would the affect use of the stadium by the high
schools. Councilperson Greenwood noted that the city provides the stadium, but the Bucks
charge $300 to schools to use it and they also get the gate receipts and concession stand
revenues. Paul Huting, Leisure Services Director, noted that there is a clause in the agreement
that gives the Leisure Services Director authorization to decide optional use of the stadium. Mr.
Huting will get together with Councilperson Greenwood prior to Monday's meeting.
Councilperson Welper reported that the flower bed located at the corner of East 4th & Sycamore
in front of Screaming Eagles was damaged over the winter, and it may have happened when city
crews cleaned that area. The Leisure Services Director and Superintendent of Traffic Operations
will look at the area.
Larry Smith, Superintendent of Waste Management Services, reported that the agreement with
AECOM is for construction related services for the storage building at Water Pollution Control.
AECOM prepared the bid documents and this is for construction oversight and administration.
Lou Cutwright, Building Official/Maintenance Administrator, reported that the same thing
happened with the E. Park Avenue ramp repairs. The engineer put together the specs and bid
documents and then brought back the agreement for project oversight.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Welper, seconded by Reggie
Schmitt that the meeting be adjourned at 8:17 a.m. Ayes: Five. Absent: Cole, Getty. Motion
carried.
