A report of the Personnel Director concerning the payment of health
insurance for Argall Jackson was reviewed. It was reported that the
City of Waterloo and Black Hawk County signed an agreement in
January, 1986 transferring to the County Health and Sanitation
Inspection Services. Transferred employees would not lose any
benefits with the move. During that negotiation, payment of health
insurance between the age of 62 and 65 was overlooked; a benefit the
County does not offer its employees. It was the recommendation of
the Personnel Department, after discussions with the Mayor and
appropriate employees of the Black Hawk County Personnel Department,
that if Mr. Jackson should elect to retire at the age of 62 that the
City reimburse the County for his share of insurance cost or
approximately $2,300 per year. Moved by Buck, seconded by Wright
that approval be given to Mr. Jackson' s request for payment of
health insurance if Mr. Jackson should retire between the age of 62
and 65. Motion carried.
The following bids were reviewed for the City of Waterloo/Black Hawk
County Auction scheduled for June 8, 1988 :

Percentage of Total Gross Sales (Including Clerk and Cashier) - 13%
Percentage of Total Gross Sales (Without Clerk) - 9%
Conrad Doan
Percentage of Total Gross Sales (Including Clerk and Cashier) - 5%
Percentage of Total Gross Sales (Without Clerk) - 3%
It was explained that the low bidder was not aware that the
specifications included the payment of an ad in the Waterloo
Courier. After finding out that he was responsible for this cost,
the low bidder asked that he not be considered for the bid. The
second bidder has agreed to be responsible for payment of the ad and
conduct the auction. Moved by Buck, seconded by Wright that
authorization be given to award the auctioneer services bid to
Fisher Consignment Auctioneer. Motion carried.
