Mayor Hurley reviewed the Standing Committee agenda items for May 17, 2004
Council Members reviewed items that have been placed on the council agenda of Monday, May
17, 2004 with department heads who have items on the agenda
The following items were discussed.
1. The hearings on the issuance of bonds were discussed. The issuance of $1 million for
improvements to the National Cattle Congress is not included in this year's bond sale
although it is listed in the CIP. A hearing was held a few years on the bonds for the
National Cattle Congress, but they are still awaiting award of funds from the State of
Iowa. The issuance includes $19.9 sewer revenue refunding bonds and $6.9 million
GO Refunding Bonds.
2. Council is setting date of hearing as June 7, 2004 on the site plan amendment for the
Kwik Trip located on Fletcher Avenue. Planning, Programming and Zoning
Commission recommended denial of the request due to concerns of hours of
operations, noise, lights, and overnight parking of trucks.
3. The five-year agreement with Northwest Sports, Inc. to lease Young Arena was
reviewed with the Leisure Services Director. No changes to the agreement other than
increases to the liability insurance.
4. Councilperson Greenwood discussed reconsideration of the dog park. The location
requested by the SPOT group is supported by a group of veterinarians.
Councilperson Greenwood may bring this item back to the council. The Leisure
Services Director informed the council that the SPOT group informed the Leisure
Services Commission that they are not interested in the Hope Martin Park site nor the
site behind Red's CB. The City Clerk will investigate the options that will allow this
item to come back to the council.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Welper, seconded by Gunderson
that the meeting be adjourned at 8:31 a.m. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
