Mayor Hurley reviewed items on the Standing Committee agendas for meetings scheduled for
Monday, April 7, 2008.
Mayor Hurley reviewed items on the council agenda for Monday, April 7, 2008 and the
following items were discussed.
Noel Anderson, Community Planning & Development Director, noted the payment to MET
Transit is repayment of a FTA grant that MET received to use for landscaping and pavement at
the corner of West Mullan Avenue and Commercial Street. This is the former Azzy's Detail
Shop site where the drive up facility for US Bank will be going. MET will transfer title of the
property back to the city.
Fire Chief Doug Carter reported that the 28E Agreement with East Waterloo Township is for one
year and is 7.5 percent increase over the current year.
Regarding the specifications for East Park Avenue Ramp, Councilperson Welper asked if Sandie
Greco is working on the specifications for the West 5th Street ramp. Mayor Hurley reported the
parking study is completed. There have been discussions on security in the E. Park Avenue ramp
for the new restaurant.
Noel Anderson, Community Planning & Development Director, reported that the Encroachment
Agreement with Ron and Cora Turner is on the agenda because the Turners replaced an older
fence with a new split rail fence at 616 Newell Street. The current ordinance says that when you
replace a fence that encroaches on public right-of-way you must install the new fence within the
property area and not on city right-of-way. This encroachment agreement would allow the city to
move the fence, if necessary, and not be responsible for any costs.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Cole, seconded by Reggie Schmitt
that the meeting be adjourned at 8:19 a.m. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
