moving forward with the project.

Section 108 and Brownfield Economic Development Initiative for the former
Chamberlain Manufacturing site, Rath Brownfield area and the downtown
housing project.
3. Councilperson Welper asked about the work session scheduled for August 15 to
discuss the city-wide cleanup project. Councilperson Welper asked where the city
is at concerning a transfer station and could we put aside the money for the
cleanup to start designating funds for a transfer station. Mayor Hurley
commented when the city started receiving the annual grant from the Black Hawk
County Solid Waste Commission a transfer station was one of the items that was
suggested for the use of the funds. Tim Shea, Superintendent of Waste
Management Services, reported last year $5,000.00 was spent on the city-wide
cleanup. Mayor Hurley stated the transfer station is a policy decision for the
council and needs to be further discussed.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Welper, seconded by Gunderson
that the meeting be adjourned at 8:20 a.m. Ayes: Six. Absent: Kincaid. Motion carried.
