Mayor Hurley reviewed items on the council agenda for Monday, November 6, 2006 and the
following items were discussed:
1. During discussion of the site plan amendment for the former Midas site,
Councilperson Welper asked where does the city property end and Crossroads
property begin. Eric Thorson, City Engineer, responded that both Bopp Street and
Crossroads are owned by the city. The city made changes to the entrance, with the
understanding that Crossroads would change the entrance into Sears Street. Mr.
Thorson will talk with Crossroads and report back to the council.
Noel Anderson, City Planner, reported that since Planning, Programming
Commission recommended approval to the site plan amendment request, the site plan
has rotated the building 90 degrees. The rotation of the building is minor in nature
and can be approved with the site plan.
2. Award of bid to Porter & Porter Construction for the 2006 South Hills Pro Shop
Renovation Project. Paul Huting, Leisure Services Director, reported staff and the
architect met with the contractor and they feel he is capable of finishing the job. Mr.
Huting noted that the architect's estimate at the public hearing was high because they
had left things in the estimate that were no longer included in the bidding document.
3. The request of Stephen Clabby to vacate the 5-foot easement located along the
westerly side of Lot 61 of Heartland Hills Second Addition. Don Temeyer, Planning
& Development Director, reported that he is going to build a house across city lines,
with 80 percent of the home lying in Waterloo.
4. The change order for work to be performed by Johnson Controls at the Five Sullivan
Brothers Convention Center was reviewed. Lou Cutwright, Building
Official/Maintenance Administrator, reported with the equipment upgrade the
dampers are working properly, and with certain wind directions it pulls the carbon
monoxide back into the stacks of the boilers. This equipment will shut the dampers
down automatically when this occurs.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Gunderson, seconded by Cole
that the meeting be adjourned at 8:19 a.m. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
