Councilperson Getty reviewed the Standing Committee agendas.
Councilperson Getty reviewed items on the Monday, October 2, 2006 council agenda. Items
discussed included:
1. Councilperson Welper asked that the request from Dick Wald to appeal the driveway
Specifications policy for property located on West 13th Street to allow for a 110' wide
driveway be moved from the consent agenda to the council agenda. Welper asked about
the possibility of roll-over curb. Welper feels this is doable.
2. The bids received for four road graders was reviewed. The bid from Altorfer in the
amount of $6,000.00 was per unit, or $96,000.00 for a four -month rental. Also Altorfer
attached exceptions that were subject to availability.
3. The resolution to commit $10,000.00 of discretionary hotel/motel tax funds for the Dan
Gable Wrestling Institute and Museum. The council previously approved the funds, but
it was subject to a CAT grant. They are no longer applying for the grant.
4. The request of the Waterloo Black Hawks to override CVBs decision and grant
hotel/motel tax funds of $7,500.00. The original grant application was for a pre -season
tournament, but the Black Hawks asked CVB to use the funding for the All -Star game.
CVB denied the Black Hawks request because they don't want to set a precedent because
the policy is to use the money for purposes in your grant application or you lose it.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Kincaid, seconded by Gunderson
that the meeting be adjourned at 8:17 a.m. Ayes: Four. Absent: Greenwood, Cole, Schmitt.
Motion carried.
