Large Conference Room
Members present: Chairperson Angel, Wright and Buck.
It was moved by Buck, seconded by Angel that the Agenda, as
amended to delete Item No. 4 entitled "Authorization to
purchase two desk chairs--Clerk/Auditor" , be approved.
Motion carried.
The request of Police Chief Bernie Koehrsen for
authorization to submit a grant application for a
multi-jurisdictional drug task force was reviewed. In
conjunction with various surrounding law enforcement
agencies, the Tri-County Drug Task Force has been formed and
federal funds are being pursued for its operation. It is
the Chief ' s intent to assign the entire special enforcement
unit of the Police Department consisting of a sergeant and
four officers plus two officers from the field services
bureau (which will be free by the hiring of two officers) to
the drug task force. The goal of the task force is to
enhance inter-agency coordination and intelligence. The
task force is making application for $302, 669. 60 for the
grant project with 75% of the project to be funded with
federal funds and the remaining 25% of the project be cash
matched from the participating agencies. The City of
Waterloo' s cash match would be $37 ,481 .75 which will be
funded from the F.Y. 1992 department budget. A discussion
was heard concerning the use of forfeiture funds for the
city' s cash match. The Chief stated that forfeiture funds
could be used for the city' s cash match. Larry P. Burger,
Clerk/Auditor, stated that he did not have a problem with
the grant application but that the use of forfeiture funds
should be considered first as it relates to the city' s
matching funds. It was moved by Buck, seconded by Wright
that said grant application be approved with the proviso
that the city' s cash match be funded through forfeiture
monies received by the Police Department. Motion carried.
The request of Gas Light Mobile Home Villa for an adjustment
in sewer rate charges was reviewed. John Jorgensen, owner
of the facility, asked that the units which lie outside the
Waterloo corporate limits be billed the normal sewer rate
instead of the double rate currently imposed. If this were
approved, it would allow all units to be charged the normal
single rate. It was moved by Wright, seconded by Buck that
authorization be given to adjust the 37 units outside the
Waterloo corporate limits to be permanently billed one unit
of sewer (no double charge) . Motion carried.
It was moved by Buck, seconded by Wright that a garbage
refund in the amount of $71 . 10 for 1001 West Third Street be
approved. Motion carried.
It was moved by Angel, seconded by Wright that the bills
payment be approved as contained in Schedule A918, pp. 1-42,
in the amount of $129,687. 34 dated April 1, 1991. Motion
carried.
With no further business before the Committee, the meeting
was adjourned at 6 : 50 p.m.
