The Finance Committee of the City of Waterloo, Iowa, met in the Mayor's Con-
ference Room in the City Hall at 6:30 p.m. on April 7, 1980.
Council Member Dowie, Chairman, presiding.
On Roll Call : Bowers, Burton, Dowie, Getty, Roehr, Wilharm. Absent: Penaluna.
Health & Sanitation Director, Bill Hoffman, presented two bids for an all-
terrain vehicle for use in maintaining the flood control dikes. If the order
is placed prior to April 15, a $600 - $700 price increase would be avoided.
It was moved by Roehr, seconded by Wilharm that the Big Mac #2 Kawasaki be
purchased at the low bid price of $4,177.00. The motion carried.
Police Chief Bemisdarfer presented a request to buy 24 batteries for police
car radios. Three bids have been solicited with prices ranging from $32 -
$50 per battery. The average age of each battery is projected to be 18 months.
He suggested that a replacement program be established for the batteries. The
Finance Committee authorized the Chief to proceed with buying the batteries
at a cost not to exceed $1 ,000.00.
The Chief also presented the dept's proposal on re-allocation of funds within
the FY 81 Operating Budget in order that the three civil dispatchers can be
retained. These proposals included: a reduction of overtime for CETA &
civilians; office equipment repairs; subscriptions; etc. No formal action
was taken on the proposal .
Acting Plan & Program Director Don Temeyer was asked to distribute bid forms
for the repair of the City' s radios to potential bidders. Three alternate
specification plans have been drafted for the new contract which will commence
July 1 .
Community Development Director, Dale Mercer, explained that some changes in
the UDAG application may occur which relate to a change in the proposed public
parking lot.
Mayor Rooff asked that the City Council not take action on the request of the
Conway/McElroy Board to transfer projected unused Conway funds to the McElroy
budget. This action is necessitated because the hotel/Conway agreement has
not been signed by hotel management. Failure to do so would require that the
City continue its operation of Conway.
There being no additional business the meeting was adjourned.
