Mayor Hurley reviewed items on the Standing Committee scheduled for Monday, February 13,
2006.
Mayor Hurley reviewed items on the Council agenda scheduled for Monday, February 13, 2006.
Items discussed included the following:
1. The request of Joel Harris for a determination of similar use to allow a
professional cleaning service in a "R-4" Multiple Residence District for 432
Locust Street. A "R-4" District allows for professional offices and service areas.
Professional cleaning service is not specifically listed as a permitted use in any
Zoning District. The council in 1989 determined that the use should be allowed at
1321 West 4th Street as a similar use to those permitted in the "R-4" District. Mr.
Harris currently runs his business out of 1321 West 4th Street and would like to
move it to 432 Locust Street. The Planning, Programming and Zoning
Commission approved this request.
2 The award of contract in the amount of $57,565.55 to Radio Communications of
Waterloo, Iowa for the purchase of seven warning sirens. Global Tech Systems
was the lowest bidder, but they only provide a two year warranty while Radio
Communications will provide a five year warranty.
3. The request of the City Engineer to remove some streets from the street
reconstruction project and add some streets to the asphalt overlay program. Cedar
Street has been removed because of the parking issue. Staff is working with the
businesses to come up with a solution.
4. Payment for Invoice No. 2 to InterActive Group in the amount of $25,000.00 to
continue design services for exhibits for the Junior Art Galleries I and II in the
Youth Pavilion. A contract has not been approved by the council but will be
forwarded for approval by the end of February.
5. Change Order No. 1 for a net increase in the amount of $26,228.00 for work
performed by Kidder Construction Inc. for the Police Locker Room Remodel
Project. After the contract was approved and the contractor started on the project,
the Building Official/Maintenance Administrator and Police Chief reviewed the
layout. It was logical to move the Tactical Room behind the new men's locker
room so they had access to the restrooms. The initial thought was just to remodel
the Tactical Room. These changes were approved by the Building & Grounds
and Finance Committees.
With no further business before the committee, it was moved by Getty, seconded by Welper that
the meeting be adjourned at 8:13 a.m. Ayes: Six. Absent: Greenwood. Motion carried.
