The Finance Committee of the City of Waterloo, Iowa, met in the Mayor ' s Con-
ference Room in City Hall at 6: 30 P .M. on September 10, 19/9 .

On roll call: Present: Dowie, Getty, Roehr, Wilharm.
Chairman Getty called the meeting to order.
Sewer Supt . Huntley reported a major failure of sewer that collapsed in Hawver
Court, the cement was 75 years old and just crumbled. He requested replacing
approximately 285 feet of sewer in the range of $6, 000, and it was moved by
Roehr, seconded by Getty that the Committee approve this emergency repair and
asked Sewer Supt. Huntley to bring this to Council Meeting tonight for approval .
Motion carried.
Chairman Getty questioned the expense for attorney fees for Friends of Faith,
Mayor Rooff replied we are not liable. Every year non-profit organizations
re-submit for tax exempt status, and this year the County Appeals Board did
not approve Friends of Faith, so they took them to court and won, and then
the Appeals Board took it to the Iowa Supreme Court. Mayor Rooff said the
state code says the City will provide for attorney for the City Assessor, but
he will check into this further with City Attorney Hultman, for we have already
spent around $7, 000. He asked the Committee to hold this for a week or so.
Finance Dir. /Treas . Campbell reported the Road Use Tax Report was on the agenda,
and has already been mailed.
Chairman Getty called for additional business , there was none and closed the
meeting at 6: 36 P.M.
