PUBLIC COMMENTS
Heidi Futchman, Youth Art Team. Two youths from the Art Team shared the accomplishments over
the last few of years and noted that there will be a party to celebrate the 80 artists whose combined
efforts brought forth artwork that spans the Cedar River. The event will be held on Tuesday, June
21, 2022 from 5:00 p.m. — 7:00 p.m. and invites the council and public to attend.
Margaret Whiting, 1974 Caras Road, explained that she is here speaking to the council because she
is very concerned about climate change. She shared that the city should install rooftop solar on all
city buildings, they should phase in electric busses and service vehicles. She added that it would
create jobs and it is the least expensive form of energy available now.
Wayne Nathem, 548 Cloverdale, explained that there is a house at the northwest corner of Broadway
and Vinton Avenue that is in desperate need of repair and needs to be torn down. He asked that
someone come take a look at the home because it is an eyesore.
EJ Gallagher, 801 Sheridan Road, explained that he echoed Margaret Whiting's sentiments and
asked that a green initiative resolution be adopted.
Mr. Grieder shared that in June it is Pride Month and that often children are used as political props to
score points to win an election. That is disheartening because one of the fundamental freedoms of
being an American is our freedom of expression. To our LGBTQIA+ brothers, sisters and siblings, I
see you, we see you, we care about you, you belong and you are a part of us.
Mr. Boesen requested an update on how the 10 hour day schedule is working.
Chief Fitzgerald shared that it is helping but the lack of staffing is causing some overtime.
Mr. Boesen questioned if the 10 hour work schedule is presenting an issue with officers working
events such as My Waterloo Days.
Chief Fitzgerald commented, not to his knowledge, not any more than in previous years.
Mr. Boesen questioned if the early swing shift officers have more forced overtime than other shifts.
Chief Fitzgerald he would need to check and get back with that information. He stated that part of
the reasoning behind someone getting forced overtime during a mid -day shift would be the time of
day and the number of incidents that occur during that time, but not due to minimum staffing.
107440 - Feuss/Amos
that the above oral comments be received and placed on file. Voice vote -Ayes: Six. Motion
carried.

the three stop signs priced at $600 apiece and he thinks that our sign department can make them for
$100 for all three. He stated he has an issue with how much we are paying for these detour signs.
Jamie Knutson explained that there is extra cost when there is a change order. Some of the signs are
very large are specifically printed with Theme Park, etc. and not simple Road Closed Ahead or Detour
signs.

Ayes: Six. Motion carried.
LeAnn Even, Deputy City Clerk, commented that she wanted to address the issue that non -bargaining
employees have no representation other than speaking directly with the council. She further
commented that she has personally brought revenue into the city of Waterloo through her work with
income offset, $40,000.00 each year and $50,000.00+ this year. She has offered grant opportunities to
the city that we would not have known of otherwise, and thinking out of the box, she brought this to
the city. She asks the council to look at that and recognize her, and others, as a valued employees and
given the same opportunities as those employees that are going to make a 10, 12 and 6 percent increase.
David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, commented that he understands that we have good employees in the
city of Waterloo, but also knows who pays their wages. His shared that his social security increased
by just .59 cents this year over last year. He also commented on Item No. 22, Aquatic Center Design.
He said that rather than spending money to replace the outdated pools at the parks, we should look at
having just one pool indoors that can be used 365 days a year.
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, commented on the increase percentages and assumes that
those getting the higher percentage won't have the 2 percent added to that. He questioned if the newly
negotiated contract with the Police Chief would also be getting a 2 percent increase.
Mayor Hart confirmed.
Mr. Boesen commented that he hopes the resolution that was passed on the non -bargaining pay study
will look deep into this and correct the inequities that we have and value our non -bargaining
employees. We need to represent them as much as the others. He explained that the reason for the
higher percentage increases for the command staff is due to compression because of contract
negotiations, where now a lieutenant makes more money than a captain, and sergeants are making
more than a captain.

that "Resolution approving Subordination Agreement between the City of Waterloo, Self -Help Credit
Union, Self -Help Ventures Fund, and Central Property Holdings, LLC, for the grocery store project
on Franklin Street, and authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute said document", be adopted.
Roll call vote -Ayes: Five. Nays: One (Boesen). Motion carried.
David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, questioned if we are giving Central Property Holdings free money
with no interest, or portion of the business coming back to the city.
Eric Johnson, Attorney for All In Grocers, provided an overview of the item and explained that the
financing pieces have moved around and the lenders have required the subordination agreement be
updated.
Mr. Boesen commented that in December 2021, the council was pushed to approve an agreement
because the funding was going to close in a week. He questioned what happened between December
and now.
Eric Johnson explained this is not an easy project but a necessary one. Over time, the developers have
had doors closed and had to start again. In December it was thought there would be government
funding that was imminent, which was not the case. Those funds were then found from other lenders
who agreed to put money into this project.
Mr. Boesen expressed his concern that the project may not close at the end of June and questioned if
the developer has all his funding lined up. He stated on August 17th, it will have been five years since
this began.
Eric Johnson stated he does believe this will happen in the next week or so.
Mr. Boesen commented that the city, cash wise, is in for approximately $900,000.00 on this project,
with a total city investment of about $2.25 million dollars.
Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Director, explained the various costs.
Mayor Hart questioned why there was a grant in the first phase for the CVS Property.
June 20, 2022 Page 20
Noel Anderson explained that working through the development agreement, that is what we thought
was needed to get the project to move ahead.
Mayor Hart questioned how long prior to this project, did the House of Hope need a larger facility.
Noel Anderson explained they were able to revitalize a building in the church row neighborhood to
meet their need.
Mayor Hart questioned if there have been other developments that have gone on for five and ten years.
Noel Anderson commented that it is not uncommon for projects to take a long time to evolve.
Mr. Nichols questioned what about this situation makes us need to have an updated subordination
agreement clause.
Noel Anderson explained.
Eric Johnson explained that there is general language in the development agreement but lenders want
to have specific language.
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, commented that he has followed this through the years. We
have a lot invested and paying interest on the monies. The subordination agreement puts the City of
Waterloo at the bottom of the list to get money back, but that is where the taxpayers have always been
in this city, is last.
Cathy Mahoney, 1400 Denver Street, commented that has she understands it, this project will be
fantastic for the community. She added that this document is just updating something that has been
previously completed.
Wayne Nathem, 548 Cloverdale, commented that the developer keeps giving excuses for why the
project is not yet completed.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2022-407.

ORDINANCES
107512 - Grieder/Wilder
that "an ordinance amending the City of Waterloo Code of Ordinances by repealing Title 9, Building
Regulations, Chapter 7, Rental Housing, and enacting in lieu thereof a new Title 9, Building
Regulations, Chapter 7, Rental Housing", be received, placed on file, considered and passed for the
first time. Roll call vote -Ayes: Six. Motion carried.
Sam Blat, 107 Lafayette Street, commented that the new rental ordinance is absolutely necessary.
Renters are not second-class citizens and we need support now more than ever. This policy will
provide more structure and a precedent to strengthen renting culture and more positive practices that
will support people over profits.
Leon Begate, 204 Baltimore, spoke in support of this change.
Anna Patch, 405 E. Arlington Street, spoke in favor of approving the amended ordinance. Too many
families in Waterloo are living in unsafe housing conditions. She asked that this amendment be
unanimously passed and deliver on the promise of hiring an appropriate number of rental inspectors.
She questioned the plan to disseminate the new information.
June 20, 2022 Page 21
Vincent Givens, Cedar Falls Resident moving to Waterloo, commented on the disproportionate effects
of not having proper inspections done on apartment complexes.
Janessa Young, 1203 Randolph Street, explained that one of the responsibilities of her job is
inspections of housing in Waterloo. She stated that some of the housing she's seen is so bad she
wouldn't want an animal to live in, let alone a human being.
Michelle Jungers, 609 Olive Street, Cedar Falls, explained that she was the managing attorney for the
Waterloo office of Iowa Legal Aid for six years and prior to that she worked as a staff attorney at Iowa
Legal Aid. She has practiced in other parts of the state and they had really excellent housing inspection
departments and really great teeth when landlords were not doing their job. She is hopeful that this
passes and we can get those teeth because this isn't for all landlords, this is for bad landlords. Waterloo
has the highest eviction rate in the state of Iowa and she hopes this will help improve some of our
numbers and eviction rates.
Cathy Mahoney, 1400 Denver Street, commented that when we hear that there is a high eviction rate
in Waterloo, we are talking about families. Children may end up having to change schools while they
stay with friends or relatives, and when the family does find a new place they often have to change
schools again. Housing is personal; it is your connection to your school, family and friendships.
Mr. Boesen thanked the citizens for showing up tonight in support to the ordinance. He shared that
he used to be a rental inspector with the Fire Department and has seen some of the dwellings they are
talking about. Often when the city passes stricter ordinances people do not like the provisions, so it is
refreshing to hear support.
Mr. Grieder expressed support for the ordinance and spoke to housing being a fundamental right for
humans and critical for families.
Ms. Wilder thanked everyone for speaking and as a renter she shared that she is excited to see this
ordinance move forward.
Mayor Hart commented on a civil rights study that was done back in the late 50's or 60's which
reported that two of the biggest disparities was education and housing. He is not the first mayor who
thought they could tear down every dilapidated homes. Waterloo has some systemic issues that we
need to fix. He commented that he was blessed to have put together a housing program that helped to
fix over 300 houses for those in our community for zero dollars through grant funds. Though it is
nowhere close to what is needed. This is not just an ordinance, this is a movement that we need to
have across our entire community.
