Moved by Jordan, seconded by Krizek that the Agenda, as amended to amend Item No. 1 under Budget Line Items to Be Amended to remove "increase Line Item 1128 (Retirement Pay) and decrease Line Item 1131 (Health Insurance) in the amount of $47, 000" , be approved. Ayes : Three. Motion carried. Moved by Jordan, seconded by Krizek that the Minutes of April 19, 1999, as proposed, be approved. Ayes : Three. Motion carried. The request of the Furgerson Lodge #5 Knights of Pythias to waive special assessments for sidewalk repair on Lots 1-3, Block 2 in Shilliam Subdivision was reviewed. Moved by Krizek that the request be denied because more and more citizens will request abatement for special assessments. Councilperson Krizek stated that the Finance Committee approved abatement of sidewalk assessments for Jesse Cosby Center on a vote of two to one. Councilperson Krizek stated that the work has been completed by the contractor, and that the city is assessing the work, not Black Hawk County. The above motion failed due to a lack of a second. Councilperson Jordan stated that the Public Works Committee has agreed to pay one-half of the assessment for the Knights of Pythias . Lee Moore, Chancellor Commander of the Knights of Pythias, stated that they were never notified of the sidewalk repairs, and that if they had been notified the Knights of Pythias would have done the work themselves . City Engineer Eric Thorson stated that the city followed the proper procedures . The city mailed out the proposed notice of sidewalk assessment to the property owners on September 5, 1997 . The final assessment notice was mailed to the property owners on January 21, 1999 . The Knights of Pythias did not become the owner of record until September 14 , 1998 so they did not receive the proposed assessment notice, but they were mailed the final assessment notice . Mr. Moore stated that they did not receive the proposed notice of sidewalk assessment mailed to property owners on September 5, 1997 because they did not have the deed to the property at that time. Councilperson Krizek stated that the sidewalk repair program is completed, the city has paid the contractor and questioned which department is going to pay $1, 060 . 00 for half the assessment . Councilperson Getty reported that the Public Works Committee approved forgiving one-half of the assessment at its April 12, 1999 meeting. Councilperson Murphy stated that he does not feel the city erred in the notification process but will vote to forward to the full council for their review. Councilperson Murphy stated that he has reservations that other non-profit organizations will request abatement of special assessment . Councilperson Murphy stated that he appreciates the work the Knights of Pythias has done to clean up the property. Councilperson Jordan stated that he appreciates the work the Knights of Pythias has done in cleaning up the property. ▪paTaapo uoTgow •aaagy : saAv 'panoadde aq gaaags TpToaawwo0 TOg ao; OT ' 17T7$ go qunowe ag1, uT pungaa aaMas e gpgq uppaor Aq papuooas 'NazTax Aq panow ▪paTaapo uoTgow aaagy : saAv •panoadde aq anuaiW k TsaaATun OSLZ aog 00 . 09$ go qunowp ags uT pungaa a6egap6 e Tegp uPpaor Aq papuoaas 'NazTax Aq panow •paTaapo uoTgow •aaagy : saAy •panoaddp aq 'saogeaado coop aaagp 6uTpnTouT '00 . 90S ' ZT$ Jo gsoo p qp g# uoTgpgs pup 9# uoT1Pgs ' E# uoT1PgS ' T# uoTgPgS ao; snoop ppagaano asegoand uoTgezTaogqns .zoJ 3aTg0 aaTd agq jo gsanbaa aqq gegg NazTax Aq papuooas 'uepaor Aq panow •paTaapo uoTa0w aaagy : sacy •panoadde aq gsanbaa pies gpgq NazTax Aq papuooas 'uppzor Aq pow •aoe1d aNeq TTTM suoTgoadsui 6uTpTTng pup gf1eaH Aquno0 {MpH 'aoTgjo quawaoiOJug apoJ Mau ags u99M1aq uoTgeoTunwwoo ATawTq os sgaaags aqq uo Tauuosaad otq gTTM 6uTTpaado Mou sT quawaoaogug apo0 'paMaTnaa SPM 0S ' TE0 ' Z$ paaoxa 0-4 qou gsoo P Je swagsAs oTpea uapTun oMq asPgoand oq uoTTezTaogfne aoJ TPToTJJO 6uTpTTng alp go gsanbaa aqy •paTaaeo uoT-low 'aaagy : saAy •panoadde aq laaags ggano3 gseg 90T 1p TTPM quawaspq aqq gooadaaTsM 0.4 uoTponagsuo0 uosuTgapw woag 00 ' 008 ' Z$ go qunowp aqg uT pTq aql Tegp Agdanw Aq papuoaas 'uepaor Aq panow •pagsTiowap uaaq anpq s5uTpTTnq 6uTpsTxa agq. a@gJP aupagwaw 6uTJooadaagPM p uo 6uTApads pup 'papaau se 6uTgoq.pd '6uTupaTo sapnTouT ){aoM aqy • 00 . 008 ' Z$ Jo lunowp aqq uT pTq P paggTwqns uoTponalsuo0 uosuTgaew • TepTag assTaegp SP UMOUN ATuowwoo gJafOd gseg 90T Jp TTeM quawaspq gooadaagPM paau TTTM AgTo aqq 'qoT 6uTNapd pup 6uTpTTnq saTagsnpui ooTaaTeM Mau aqq go gapd sy 'paMaTnaa SPM gaaags g.ano3 CIspg 90T 3p TTpM quawaspq aq� gooadaagpM oq uoTponagsuo0 uosuTlapw woad panTaoaa pTq ally •paTaapo uo-pow •aaagy : saAy •panoadde aq gsanbaa pies ,egp 3{azTax Aq papuooas 'uppaor Aq panow ' 866T '9T aagwagdas uo gsanbaa aqq panoaddp pup paMaTnaa aaggTwwoO MaTnae TeoTugoay aagndwo0 ally • gaBpnq quawdTnba saoTnaas uoipewao;ul aqq uT aTqpTTenp sT 6uTpun3 • 00 . 90i7 ' E$ sT sad oMq ags 1O� gsoo ally •a6pae0 Teaquaa 0d aaMo1s P aoPTdaa TTTM aaqndwoo zHN 00Z GILL ' quawdoIanap wagsAs gTwaad Mau agp gaoddns oq MoTs ooq sT Tegp aagndwoo zHw 00Z e aoaTdaa TTTM aagndwoo aagpo aqy •uoTlTsod aogpagsTuTwpv ){aoM'3aN Mau agp JOJ sT aagndwoo 9u0 •paMaTnaa SPM 00 ' 90Tv ' E$ jo gsoo P saoTnaas uoTTpwaogul nog sod zHN OSti oMq asPgoand og saoTnaas uoTppwaogul 3o aaBPUPN aqq ;o gsanbaa ally •paTaapo uo-pow •NazTax : sApN •oMy : saAy • ginsaa 6uTMOTTOg alp ggTM uo-pow anogp agq uo ua3{eq SPM agon P squawwoo 6uTMoTTod • quapaoaad poo6 p qou sT quawssassp NipMapTs alp go quawagpgp 6uTnoaddp gpgp paTegs NonoH • sw •uaTT aq4 passTW pup qoc agaTdwoo P op qou pTp Aauaolgp ,spTggAd go sgg6TuN aq� Tpgp sTaag ags gpgl pa4pgs NonoH • sw • sagoapas uaTT ales xeq go qoT p auop spq ags gpgl pagpgs 'papg5uTN ZZT 'N{on0H auTPTH •papaq azaM squawwoo 6uTMoTTog agq 'uoTpow anogp alp u0 alOA P aoTad ' sq.soo quawssaSSP ags ;Tpg A d AgTo aqf qPilq UOTTepuawwooaa ggTM 'TTounoo TTnj aqq oq papapMaog aq quawssaSSP xTPMapTs jo quawagpgp aoj sPTggAd jo sgg6Tux alp go gsanbaa aqq gpgp Agdanw Aq papuooas 'uppaor Aq panow • 41.19wssaSSP aq� Jo j1pq-auo 6uTAT6aog sJaoddns all Tegq palpgs uepaor uosaadTTounoa Z a6ed 666T '9Z TT.zdV aaJgTwwoD aoupuTd Finance Committee April 26, 1999 Page 3 Moved by Jordan, seconded by Krizek that the request of the Leisure Services Director for pre-authorization to expend $3 , 386 . 00 to purchase four two-bay swing sets from Gazaway & Associates be approved.
