Items that are on the council agenda of Monday, October 13, 2003 were discussed with
departments heads who have items on the agenda.
The following items were also discussed.
1. Rezoning for multiple residence district for property located at 200 East Arlington
to create a 21 multifamily senior apartment complex. Councilperson Kincaid
reported that some citizens in this area would like a neighborhood center, or
demolish the former school building and plat for lots to sell. Paul Huting reported
that the Park Improvement Committee looked at this former school property along
with the school properties that were going to be demolished by Waterloo Schools.
Gates Park is already in the area, but the city will probably use the playground
equipment at one of our other park locations. Councilperson Kincaid stated that
some citizens don'ts like the location of the playground equipment at Gates Park
because they can't see their kids, and he suggested that the play equipment could
be moved to the former Roosevelt School. Mr. Huting stated that because of
smaller resources we need to decide if the city can take on another park.
2. Councilperson Clark stated that Bob Molinaro, Chairperson of the Leisure
Services Commission, will be out of town the months of October and November
and asked if the Leisure Services Commission could meet without him as we need
to move along with golf improvements. The City Clerk stated that the Vice
Chairperson could lead the meeting or designate another person if Vice
Chairperson is also unavailable. Mayor Rooff suggested that the meeting be
called to see if a quorum of the members are available and then proceed with the
meetings.
3. Councilperson Hurley reported that during the development on Ranchero Road,
the digging of the new well has caused the neighbor's well to go dry.
4. Councilperson Kincaid asked if any decisions have been made regarding Mr.
Gleason's property and the problem with semi -trucks. Don Temeyer suggested
that the city could consider acquiring some of the properties in this area and
rezoning the property to commercial removing the industrial zoning.
5. Councilperson Welper asked if the city charges to close streets. Mayor Rooff
responded that the contractor has to pay for signage and barricades, but there is no
charge by the city.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Jordan, seconded by Clark that the
meeting be adjourned at 8:29 a.m. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
