Mayor Hurley reviewed items on the council agenda for Monday, February 23, 2009 and the
following items were discussed.
Mayor Hurley asked if roof repairs are eligible for tax exemptions. Noel Anderson, Community
Planning & Development Director, responded the Black Hawk County Assessor will consider if
an CURA application is eligible for exemption. The assessor may change the amount that is
eligible or may say none of it is eligible. The city's role is to certify that it is located in the
CURA.
Councilperson Steve Schmitt asked about the mini -grant program being proposed by the
Convention & Visitors Bureau. Mayor Hurley responded that the Waterloo Convention Visitors
Bureau is allocating $213,125.00 of the $250,000.00 hotel/motel funds, and would like the
remaining amount to be used for smaller projects that come up in the middle of the year. The
maximum amount any organization could receive from the mini -grant is $3,000.00, and the
organization would have to go through the application process.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Hart, seconded by Reggie Schmitt
that the meeting be adjourned at 8:13 a.m. Ayes: Four. Absent: Getty, Greenwood, Welper.
Motion carried.
