The forgiveness of demolition assessments for 516 Rhey Street was reviewed. This item was
tabled at the January 2, 2007 council meeting in order to obtain additional information for
council. Don Temeyer, Community Planner and Development Director, reported the demolition
costs should not have been assessed against the property because emergency CDBG funds were
used to demolish the garage at 516 Rhey Street.
Mayor Hurley reported the National Wrestling Coaches Association is requesting discretionary
hotel/motel funds in the amount of $3,000.00 to support the National Dual Wrestling
Championships hosted at UNI on January 13-14, 2007. The Association lost their national
sponsor, the Hershey Company, due to missing the required deadline for application. The money
will be used for costs associated with national broadcasting and administrative overhead. The
Association needs $35,000.00 and they are asking a number of sources for funding.
Councilperson Welper inquired on the bills payment for the Sink Creek Watershed Study and the
Riverfront Renaissance Project.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Cole, seconded by Gunderson that
the meeting be adjourned at 8:11 a.m. Ayes: Six. Absent: Kincaid. Motion carried.
