FINANCE COMMITTEE MINUTES
February 26, 1990
6: 30 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Members present: Chairperson Angel, Wright and Buck.
It was moved by Buck, seconded by Wright that the agenda, as
proposed, be approved. Motion carried.
The request of the Cedar Valley Underwater Search and
Recovery Unit for financial support for training of its
members was discussed. The training consists of a three-day
seminar at a cost of $100 per person for ten of its divers.
The training is offered by the International Association of
Dive Rescue Specialists in June, 1990. The volunteer
SCUBA divers assist the Police, Sheriff and Fire Departments
as well as private individuals in the underwater search and
recovery of people and property. The divers volunteer
services, time and equipment at no charge to government
agencies. Private contributions are solicited.
In response to information presented by Kevin Andersen, Vice
President of the group, Larry P. Burger, Clerk/Auditor,
recommended that the $1 ,200 expenditure be divided equally
between the budgets of the Police and Fire Department in
their training line item. Although there is no money
currently budgeted for this expenditure, Mr. Burger
indicated that contingency funds could be expended. Fire
Chief Stan Stapella stated that he did not support the
funding of this operation from his training budget since the
Department is already strapped for funds in its training
division. Mr. Andersen indicated that if funding from the
City is not made available, other governmental entities will
be approached. After discussion it was moved by Buck,
seconded by Wright that the City of Waterloo fund up to $600
for training of said divers with the recommendation that the
divers solicit the financial support of Black Hawk County
and the city of Cedar Falls. Motion carried.
It was moved by Wright, seconded by Buck that the garbage
refund for 520 Linden Avenue in the amount of $20. 40 and the
garbage refund for 1220 Hammond Avenue in the amount of
$47. 60 be approved. Motion carried.
It was moved by Angel, seconded by Wright that the bills
payment be approved as contained in Schedule A918, pp. 1-67 ,
in the amount of $1, 118,088. 24, dated February 26, 1990 .
Motion carried.
With no further business before the Committee, the meeting
was adjourned.
