Mr. Boesen commented that there is a MidAmerican Energy payment on the February 14th bill
payments for property located at 1314 Black Hawk Street. The City entered into a development
agreement with Black Hawk Street Investments, LLC back in May 21, 2021. Not only have
we spent about $2,000.00 in utility bills for this property since this development agreement
was authorized by this council, the Black Hawk County website shows this property is still
registered to the City of Waterloo. He questioned what has happened with this development
agreement and why the property was not deeded to Black Hawk Street Investments, LLC over
six months ago.
Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Director, commented that he would
need to check on the timeline and details of the development agreement, but he knows we have
closed on the property.
Mr. Boesen explained that the agreement clearly stated they must take ownership within 45
days and that all of the remodeling would be complete before December 2021. He stated that
he hoped there would have been some follow-up done on this so it did not progress to where
we were on the hook for $2,000 worth of utility payments. Especially as we are scraping for
the upcoming budget.
106954 - Grieder/Amos
that the meeting be adjourned at 5:23 p.m. Voice vote - Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
