October 10, 2005 with Department Heads who have items on the agenda.
Items discussed:
1. Lease agreement with Cingular Wireless to lease land for the placement of a cellular
tower within the fenced area of the treatment facility located along Airline Highway. The
agreement is for five -years at a cost of $700.00 per month, with the option for four
additional five-year terms. Year one of each extension would increase the monthly fee
seven percent. Dennis Clark, General Manager of Waterloo Water Works, explained the
agreements they have for cellular towers. Noel Anderson, City Planner, explained that
letters will be sent to the businesses in the area. This item will require a minor site plan
amendment, which will need to be approved by council.
2. Site plan amendment for the construction of the Gold's Gym and convenience store to be
located at the northeasterly corner of Greyhound Drive and Highway 63. Don Temeyer,
Community Planning and Development, explained that staff has informed the developer
that sidewalks should be installed to connect to the bike trail for users who will want to
use the convenience store. Mr. Temeyer talked about areas of town where there is no
sidewalk and suggested the council may want to look at the sidewalk requirements.
3. The completion of project and recommendation of acceptance of work performed by
Johnson Control at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center Equipment Upgrade —
Phase I. This phase is the upgrade of the control system entered into with Johnson
Controls last year. The council turned down Phase II.

side drive of the station and will have 9" thick concrete.
5. EPA Phase II Storm Water Management Permit process is continuing. Ament, Inc. will
assist the city in the preparation of the permit requirements. The city is working with the
City of Cedar Falls so all requirements will be the same. Eric Thorson, City Engineer,
reported that at some point, the council will have to approve a fee for the service that the
city will have to provide as part of the permit requirement.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Welper, seconded by Clark that the
