Mayor Pro Tem Reggie Schmitt reviewed items on the council agenda for Monday, November
23, 2009 and the following items were discussed.
Councilperson Getty asked where the funds for the 20 percent city match were coming from for
an agreement with Snyder & Associates of Ankeny, Iowa to provide professional services for the
design of the F.Y. 2010 Ridgeway Avenue and La Porte Road Connection, Contract No. 775.
Eric Thorson, City Engineer, reported that the funds are coming from the local option sales tax.
Councilperson Getty stated that after conversation regarding the Five Sullivan Brothers
Convention Center Kitchen Equipment Upgrade with Lou Cutwright, Building
Official/Maintenance Administrator, the amount of the award of bid to Wilson Restaurant
Supply of Waterloo, Iowa is not correct. Lou Cutwright stated that Councilperson Getty was
correct and explained that after conversations with Paul Huting, Leisure Services Director, that
two beer tappers will be transported from the Young Arena for use at the Five Sullivan Brothers
Convention Center. Mr. Cutwright stated that the tappers are available because beer is no longer
being served at Young Arena. Mr. Huting stated that he would like to discuss sharing the use of
the tappers for Leisure Services events when they are needed. Mr. Cutwright stated that may not
be able to be worked out. Mr. Huting stated that it could be on a when needed basis if they were
not in use. Mr. Cutwright indicated that would be fine as long as they were not in use.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Getty, seconded by Cole that the
meeting be adjourned at 8:22 a.m. Ayes: Five. Absent: Hart, Greenwood. Motion carried.
