Scott questioned if the bylaws would need to be changed to create a fifth committee.
Nancy Higby confirmed.
Scott commented that the first vote needed then is to approve changing the bylaws to create a
fifth committee and then send it to City Hall.
John Mrzlak questioned the process for electing a chair of the committee.
Jim Lentfer commented that the chair is supposed to appoint a committee. However, he would
need to refer back to the bylaws on how the chairperson is appointed.
Scott McDonald suggested pulling back and amending the original motion.
Moved by Lentfer, seconded by McDonald, to change the motion to amend the bylaws to
separate and form a fifth committee to be named Operations Committee. Ayes: Ten. Motion
carried.
Jim explained that it might take a few weeks or so to put together the amendment after getting
input from other commissioners.
Mel Wittwer commented that creating another committee might help get some inertia to have
more events sponsored by the Hall.
Scott McDonald excused himself from the meeting.
New Business —
Angela Hickok explained that Rolling Thunder - Iowa Chapter 1, would like to hold a program at
the Veterans Memorial Hall and requests to reserve the grounds and have access to the building
on Saturday, May 28th from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.
Moved by Hickok, seconded by McCaw, to reserve the building and grounds with use of the
sound equipment, on May 28, 2022 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Ayes: Nine. Motion carried.
Rick Hurtado showed the Veterans Way brochure that he picked up at the Mayor's office.
Mel Witter expressed his concerns on the reliability of the current computer and commented on
the potential need to replace it. He shared his preference for a laptop for its portability and
suggested keeping costs at about $600. He noted that it is not necessary to vote on the matter
now, but wanted to get the word out that it may be something to consider in the future.
Rick Hurtado passed out flyers for a Veterans Resource Fair to be held on Friday, March 11th
from 12:00 p.m to 3:00 p.m. The event is sponsored by Elevate, Upper Iowa and Iowa Works
and is not limited to Veterans.
Chiquita Loveless asked that any events that the Veterans Memorial Hall commission is involved
in, be run through Black Hawk County Veterans Affairs office as a courtesy so that they could
add them to their website and make the events more visible to all veterans.
Rick Hurtado questioned if a city representative was supposed to be attending each meeting.
It was clarified that councilperson Jerome Amos had been assigned by the Mayor to be the
liaison and would be attending quarterly. Jim Lentfer commented that Mr. Amos had another
commitment this evening but that he would be here next month.
A discussion took place regarding the current condition of the building, roof and windows. Rick
Hurtado commented that he dropped off an estimate at the city and is still waiting for them to
respond. Nancy Higby explained that at the February 2nd meeting, Greg Ahlhelm, City Official,
committed to look into the tuck -pointing and window reglazing/repairs in the spring. Rich Berry
explained that he knows a little about the building because he had actually worked on the
building back in the 1980's including tuck -pointing and would be happy to look at the current
February 23, 2022 Page 4
needs. He said that he also mentioned some of the concerns to his brother-in-law, who then
asked him to find out if he could work on the building without charging for it.
Jim Lentfer reported that last month there were a couple of false alarms.
Mel Wittwer believes it may have something to do with the front glass doors not always secured
correctly when people leave the building. He noted that the current security system is not very
sophisticated and perhaps the commission should consider some type of video system.
With no further business before the commission, it was moved by J. Lentfer, seconded by
Grimm, that the meeting be adjourned at 5:43 p.m. Ayes: Nine. Motion carried.
