Moved by Jordan, seconded by Gronen that the Agenda, as amended to add Item No. 4 under New Business, be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. Moved by Jordan, seconded by Gronen that the Minutes of November 20, 2000, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. A sewer refund for 314 Brees Street was reviewed. This request was reviewed by the Finance Committee on November 6, 2000. Nikolas Brandt, the owner of property located at 314 Brees Street, has requested a sewer refund in the amount of $1,774.68, and the Finance Committee approved payment of $690.88. Tim Shea, Superintendent of Water Pollution/Flood Control, contacted Donald Becker, the former owner prior to the Brandts. The sewer was constructed as per the tap card in 1980, but was not hooked up to the house sewage by Mr. Becker. The city charged Mr. Becker for sewage fees from the time this service tap was constructed until he sold the property to the Brandts. Mr. Becker's private septic system was functioning properly, and he continued to discharge into the septic system even though he was billed for sewer usage. The fact that Mr. Becker paid to have the service tap installed is the reason he was charged sewer fees. Mr. Brandt may not have been aware that the property was not hooked up to the city's sewer system when he purchased the property. However, when he constructed the addition to the house in 1992 and the service line to the city main was cut off, it should have been resolved at that time. Moved by Gronen, seconded by Jordan that the City Clerk be instructed to submit payment of a sewer refund in the amount of$690.88 to Nikolas Brandt. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The request of the Facilities Maintenance Supervisor for authorization to complete state inspection repairs to all city builders was reviewed. All city boilers are to be inspected each year. These inspections are normally carried out by the insurance carrier, but this year the State of Iowa boiler inspector is conducting inspections at city facilities. The state has reinterpreted many code items and is now requiring updates and replacements to installations that were installed as early as last year. The state is requiring that work completed as long ago as twelve years ago must meet the new inspection within a 30 day period. It will not be possible to competitively bid all of the work and guarantee completion in the time frame allowed by the state. WBC Mechanic has promised that they can complete repair/replacement within the 30 day time frame as required by the state. WBC Mechanic will quote prices prior to beginning work on each boiler, but time does not allow a full quote on all boilers. Facilities Maintenance will complete expansion tank, emergency stop and valve replacements in-house, which should reduce the cost by approximately $10,400.00. Facilities Maintenance estimates the cost for the two Library boilers to be $2,600.00. This estimate does not include costs for the Airport steam boilers. The Airport boiler work requires re-welding of ten year old repairs and gas train updates. The repairs must be completed by December 14, 2000. Moved by Jordan, seconded by Gronen that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The request of the Police Chief for authorization to seek bids for ballistic vests was reviewed. The Police Department issues ballistic vests to officers of the department. The manufacturer guarantees the ballistic vests for five years, and the department has several vests that are in need of replacement or will soon need to be replaced. As the ballistic vests are essential safety equipment, the Police Department needs to consider their replacement and evaluate the best available and reasonable product for the department. The department is evaluating and identifying ballistic vests needs and funding sources. Moved by Gronen, seconded by Jordan that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. Moved by Gronen, seconded by Jordan that an invoice from K & W Electric in the amount of $4,224.89 for repairs to the runway and identifier light at the airport be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. •paurea uogow •aan s :sa,Cy •panoJdde aq (luamasmgmia21 lgauag) 0£IT mail aun of (reinSag-saueieS) IIII mall auFl mo.y 00'ZS£`i$ iaisutui of Jauueid AID all jo lsanbai al) )el) uauoi0 Aq papuoaas `ueptof Aq panow •paurea uotfoyAJ •aangZ :saAV •panoJdde aq(ian?ddy SuueaM) 6LST wag auvi of ()uatudinbg almiS) 8SSI mall auq wag 00'00Z$ JaJsue1l of Jolaa.iu saopuaS ainstarl aw Jo fsanbai aql lgll uauoa0 papuoaas `uepiof Aq panoyv •paurea uotloyN •aarta :soy •panotdde aq 00'008$ Jo funotue ali ut (Suiuini j) S i£i wagI autg `00'SL£$ 3o lunome alf ut (sinatuzag3) £i S i mall aun `00'86Z$3o funoute all ut (luamdtnbg AlajiS) £LS i mall OM of 008£ mall auF1 tuog 00'£Lip`T$lajsueil of Jail3 ail all3o lsanbai all lell uauoI0 Aq papuoaas `uepJof Aq panow •patuea uotloyv aanil :saAv •pancadde aq(siool iieuwS) SCSI wagI auq of (uoilaauuo3 lautalui) 98£1 mail auq wag 00'00b$ `•(stool ligwS) SSST wall auri o) (ivamdmbg aat.Tjo) 98£i un11 aut7 mo.g 0076S$ `•(lanrii) Sb£i mall am of (.reinSa)l-suelgS) T I i i Luau aura tuoq 00'00S`l$ `•(luamdinbd luieyl o!Pg2I) LL£i mall au►ri of (.reinSa2l-saueieS) I T i I mail 3ui11 mozj 00'000`Z$ iajsui u) o) uot)einy Jo .tolaanQ luelstssy aqi Jo lsanba.t aril fell uauoi0 papuoaas `uepao f ,Cq panoyAJ •pawea uogoJAi aaJgJ :saiC' •panoadde aq au►Sua lgo 90££ uo pearl a Tielsut of 00'009`1$ puadxa of uotlezuolfne-aad ioj aere0 ie.tlua3 Jo ivapualuitadng aril Jo isanbai all cell uauoi0 Aq papuoaas `ueptof Aq panoyAJ •pauiea uogoyv •aargi :saAv •pano.1dde aq liaq luauaaeida1.to3 00'008$ puadxa of uotiezuoline-aid ioj ioifuo3 pooid/uoilnitod JafeM Jo luapuafuuadng aril Jo lsanba.J all fell uepto f Aq papuoaas `uauo.t0 Aq panoi j •patuea uoilow •aanu :saAv •panotdde aq aaSueaotpICH ioj 00.SI£`i$ puadxa of uotlezuogine-aid ioj iotluoD pooig/uo►lniiod .talent Jo luapualuuadnS aril Jo lsanbai all lgll treptof icq papuoaas `uauoi0 Ag panoy\i •paurea uotfoyAJ •aaa4Z :saAy •3133nn auo ioj paigel aq lunoaae Sutiiem ioj 00'000`I$ puadxa of uotlezuoline-aid ao3 uo►ssimtuo3 sllSt2l uemnH Jo.JolaaIQ anifnaaxg aril Jo lsanba1 all legs uauo.t0 Aq papuoaas `uepJo f Aq panow •pau.rea uotlow •aargj :saky •panoJdde aq 000 `8 iagmaaau uo uoagounl Ara s)qp2i uewnH all ioj saaj fuamaSESua aavads ioj 00'00S`Z$puadxa of uoilezuoglne-aid ioj uoissiu tuo3 sigS►21 uetunH Jo.tolaanQ anilnaaxg ali Jo isanbat all iell uauoi0 ,Cq papuoaas `uepJo f Ag pa/km •papiea uotloj •aaigi :saAy •panoJdde aq sivautaaunouue saopuas oggnd 9ZT pug mgBold IAA Dgg}I uo saauereadde lsan2 alnutut-OE uanas ioj 0L'6L9$ puadxa of uotlezuoline-aid aoi aoleutpJoo3 saatn taS pootpoglpaN all 3o isanba.t all lgll uauot0 Aq papuoaas `uep to f Ag panow •pai_uea uotfoyAi •aaniL :saICv •panoJdde aq spaq iamod sas noa 3iapired .toj pas iannoll ioj 00'005`Z$ puadxa o) uoifezuowng -atd ioj .iolaa.tiu saopuag amsia'l all3o isanbai all lell ueptof Aq papuoaas `uauor0 Aq panow •pa►.uea uotiow •aan i :saAv •panoldde aq luaudmba asinoa moS uo aaueuaiureu aiaidwoa Jo/pue pimgai of sued asegoind of 00'001`9$ puadxa of uog zuoglne -a td ioj iolaanc saatn tas ains►0Z all Jo isanbai all fegl uepio f papuoaas `uauoJ0 Aq pa/vow •pau.rea uogoyAT •aanil, :soy •panoJdde aq 00'00S`b$Jo woo paletutlsa ue le T0£auPug uo dwnd a tg all pimgai of 3atgJ a tt3 al)Jo lsanbal all Pell uauo.t0 Aq papuoaas `uepao f Ag panov j Z a6Pd 000Z ' .zagwapaa Gall-F=0D aDueuTg Finance Committee December 4, 2000 Page 3 Moved by Jordan, seconded by Gronen that the request of the Building Official to transfer$800.00 from Line Item 1119 (Misc.
