Waterloo Bucks to hold a Styx concert at Riverfront Stadium on August 30, 2008. Paul Huting,
Leisure Services Director, reported that the concert will be on a Saturday, and that he spoke with
Councilperson Getty since this is in his ward. Tom Jennings, Police Chief, noted that for

have been held at Byrnes Park.

Noel Anderson, City Planner, reported that the amendment with MAKO Waterloo Corporation is
to extend the due diligence period to March 24, 2008, which is about a 30 day extension for the
restoration and rehabilitation of the Rath Administration Building located at 1515 Sycamore

to take care of the other items on the agenda prior to holding the budget hearing. Mayor Hurley
