Moved by Getty, seconded by Krizek that the Minutes of February 22, 1999, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The request of the Building Official for authorization to purchase a used vehicle for Building Inspection was reviewed. In October 1998 a Building Inspection Department employee was involved in an accident that totaled the inspection pickup he was driving. The Building Department would like to purchase a 1994 Chevy S-10 pickup for $7,500.00. Moved by Krizek, seconded by Gronen that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The request of the Jesse Cosby Neighborhood Association to abate special assessments in the amount of $2,155.14 for 1112 Mobile Street in conjunction with Zone 9 of the F.Y. 1998 Sidewalk Repair Assessment Program was reviewed. Dan Holm, Member of the Board of Directors and Legal Counsel, reported that the Jesse Cosby Neighborhood Center, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the needs of the residents of East Waterloo, particularly those who are African-American. The center funds and administers a wide variety of nutritional, health and educational programs. Many residents of the city have been positively affected by the efforts of the center. In the last several years, the center has come through a difficult financial period. Many of the center's financial problems were the result of management difficulties and the loss of traditional sources of funding. With the help of the Cedar Valley United Way and the installation of a new management team, the center is addressing and solving its financial difficulties. An abatement of the special assessments will allow the center to channel all of its resources toward serving the citizens of our community. Willie Mae Wright, stated that the Jesse Cosby Neighborhood Center serves culturally minority citizens of the Eastside of the city and has been in existence since 1965. Ms. Wright reported that the center provides hot meals to senior citizens every day and provides a youth program during the summer months. Councilperson Krizek stated that she was concerned that if the city abates the assessments for the Jesse Cosby Neighborhood Center, the city would be setting a precedent for other non-profit organizations serving similar needs. Councilperson Krizek stated that it is a ten-year assessment so that it would cost the center approximately $17.00 per month. Rich Earles, Community Development Program Manager, stated that Community Development Block Grant funds are limited to single households meeting income guidelines. Mr. Earles stated that the Jesse Cosby Neighborhood Center could have requested funding for the project a year ago to be included in the Community Development Block Grant program. Councilperson Collier stated that the Jesse Cosby Neighborhood Center plays a vital part in the city, and that they have gone through a big transition. Councilperson Collier asked that the committee approve this request. Getty called for the question. Ayes: One. Nays: Krizek, Jordan. Motion failed. Councilperson Anders asked city staff where funding would come from if the abatement is approved. Bruce Meisinger, Finance Manager, stated that he was unsure at this time where funding would be available. •paureo uoilow •aargi :say •panordde aq 00.I£9$3o lunowg agi ui (suoifduosgnS) Z6£I wall am aseaioap pug (aipigan rofoJA) L I I Z wan am aseaiow `00'SIZ`SS 3o Iunowg ay u► (autlose0) ££Si wall awl asearoap pug (' d ivawaigaZI) 8ZIi wall aui7 aseaiow of 3aigD aolod ay Jo Isanbar ay Imp lazu}I Aq papuooas `Amp Aq pa/tow •paureo uoilow •aaigi :saky •panordde aq surd luawaoeidai Tun sired ion 66'6ZL`Z$ puadxa of uongz►roging -aid IT iolpaiiQ saornraS ainsta-1 alp Jo isanbar aqI Iegl Alpo Aq papuooas `51azu}I cq panoyg •pauiea uoi oj, aaigy :soAy -panoidde aq sasmoo jioS iedioiunw aaigl alp RI; saoinras SurwwriSoid pug siaisiWai gsgo aaigp asegamd of 00'S i Z`b$ puadxa oi uoilezuoglne -aid io3 roppanu saotnrOS ainsial agI Jo isanbai all ley AnaD Aq papuooas `51azu}I Aq panoyg rpm uorpow .aana :saAy •panoidde aq aoiuo ailtagi pug gait aagJo SuIM IsoM ladigo put loop Hell umoi gsnrgai of 66'Z0£`9$ puadxa of uotlezuoglne-aid io3 uoissrwwoD si r� put itiniinD Jo rolpanu ay Jo Isanbai ay mil Amp cq papuooas `51azu3I Aq panow •pauito uorpow aaigi :saAy •panoidde aq peoli uosaio £I Z I ro3 00'17Z$ Jo lunowe agI ui punJar aSeyeS e itgf 3Iazir}I Aq papuooas 'Alpo Aq panolAJ .paureo uouoyg .aaigi :saAy •panoidde aq anuany oiiao!puoI1\ Z8££ IT 00.9$ 3o lunowg alf u► punjai aSgya a i q i lazux Aq papuooas 'Amp Aq panow •pauita uo►IoIAI •aaigi :spicy •panoidde aq 66'66b`i$Jo Isoo a Ig asnoH SINES all uo 0811.10J iopgiauaS MOOSE upuoH g asegaind oi 3anp au ay 3o Isanbai aqI imp 'uaD Aq papuooas `51azu}I Aq pamnAi •paiuta uoUol^i •aaigi :saAy •panordde aq psanbai pies ivy Alpo Aq papuooas `riazu}i Aq panoyg -9£'Li£`9$ Suiaq Isoo ielol aqI gUUm los lad L9'68L$ Si Surgpoio antloaloid agi ion ISOp UOAOS of ant Si Suigloio anUoalord ay Jo Aouglpadxa aJti agi .imps mall all ioj do lotq g se pasn aq ipm paogidai Surag sr Iegl Sunpoio agi 'Z66i ur pasegaind Sunifoip antioaloid ° midai iitm seas MOU agi •pamarnar sgm 9£'L I£`9$Jo Isoa g Ig Sutgloio anrppaloid 3o sips g asegaind of 3aniJ aii3 amyl isanbai aqI 'pauig°uoilow .aaigi :saAy •panoidde aq ipeiluoo pies iegl ugpior Aq papuooas 'Amp cq panoJAJ •rolgndsai g ream of aneq Aew ogm saaAoidwa io3 Suipsal saw-lbw fegf 6£i'0I6I 2IHD 6Z Jo luawarinbai alp AJsnes !pm sigoisicgd ioieirdsai ati •suairs se tons sasiou asindwi pnoi of pasodxa saaAoidwa Jo Suuolwow ompouad pug siagioap Sg Jo ssaoxa ur asrou of pasodxa air olm saaicoidwa io3 Suuopruow AiieaA sairnbai pelf S6'0I6I VHSO Jo sluawairnbai alp Asnes !pm spsal Suugaq agi •saSrego dul ou put aiglssod se gonw se moo awrpiano pione of sainpagos ulgs uRilim Suilsal 'map awn pagsggeisa ay utglrm uogaidwoo `sauiiigedea Suipsal aidipinw ` wpsal airs 3iiom apinoid iiim •saaAoidwa sii Suifsal Jo Isoa alp roJ 3ioeq paSiego aq iiim fuawuedap gaeg -sieotskid ioleiidsai aql ioj aaAoidwa lad 0017£$Jo wnwixew a pug Isal Suueaq alp ioj aacoidwa lad 00'£I$ si Isoo aqI •sluawlredaU aotiod pug saotniaS arnsiai `iorfuoD pooiNuotfniiod raleM ay u► saaAoidwa 0j7 iiialewixoidde uo palonpuoo aq pinom sieois,igd roleridsar alp pue sivawlredap Clip snouen ur sooAoidwa 00£ Aialgwixoidde uo palonpuoo aq mom sisal Suugaq aqI •pamainai sem sieorsAgd ioleiidsai pug Suueaq ponpuoo oI saoinrag i ppoll ieuoilednoo0 ielidsoll uaijy gfim fperluoo of uoilezuoglne ioJ ioloaiIQ iauuosiad alp Jo fsanbai ati -pauigo uoipoyAI lazum :siCem omi :saAy •panoidde aq Isanbai Res ley Alpo Aq papuooas `uepior Aq panow •siseq ienp►Alpui ue uo slsanbar raglo qum leap film OM fegl paltfs uepror uosradliounoj propai run uanord a angq Amp ley wrq umogs seq ramuao ay ley pug Isanbar sup poddns illm all ley palmis uepior uosradi►ounoj •spuawssasse itagl alege of Alp ay rise pinoo pug sluawssasse iiagl SuiAed are legs any fno sigoid-uou raglo Jo spaipunq art any legs aalliwwoo agf papurwai uosrogi pug JaauISug AID Z abed 6661 `1 1101e1A1 aantunuOD aauuut,J Finance Committee March 1, 1999 Page 3 Moved by Getty, seconded by Krizek that Bills Payment, as contained in Schedule AP640, dated March 1, 1999, pp. 1-79, in the amount of $1,285,838.55, be received, placed on file and approved and forwarded to the full council for approval.
