Mayor's Conference Room, City Hall
Waterloo, Iowa
The Finance Committee of the City of Waterloo, Iowa, met in the Mayor's Conference
Room in City Hall at 6:30 P.M. on March 12, 1979.
Councilman Getty, Chairman, presiding.
On roll call: Present: Getty, Dowie, Roehr and Wilharm.
Chairman Getty called for business to be presented.
Sewer Supt. Huntley reported a sewer problem in the 300 block of Denver Street and asked
permission to get a contractor. Permission granted.
Chairman Getty questioned the request from Attorney William S. Smith for payment of
$3,120 legal fees for the case of Friends of Faith Retirement Home, Inc. vs. Board of
Review, City of Waterloo, Iowa. Mayor Rooff stated this should be paid by the City,
the County and School Board, which form the three taxing bodies, through the City
Assessor ,to be divided evenly.
Mayor Rooff pointed out that Friendship Village was a non-profit corporation and as
such, once a year it must go to the Board of Adjustment to maintain that status.
Chairman Getty stated the City of Waterloo would pay this and then would collect from
the County and School Board their share of costs. Mayor Rooff reported the Board of
Education was in agreement that the three bodies should pay.
Garage Supt. Cunningham asked permission to order 100 grader blades before July 1, 1979.
He could not guarantee they would be needed and there was no way of telling. Chairman
Getty pointed out budget expenditures stand at 98%, only 30 blades on hand which could
be wiped out in one storm, and recommended approval. Permission granted.
Chairman Getty next brought up Police Department request for payment of meals on which
the Crime Commission paid $5.00 and the meals were $9.20 each for two persons for two
different months held at Allerton Axtell in Independence. Mayor Rooff explained we
have members on N.E. Iowa Crime Commission, the Commission sets the meetings, which
usually are dinner, and recommended the City pay the balance to the Police Department;
also, he did not think $15.00 per day was enough to cover out of town meals.
Chairman Getty called for any other business, there was none, and then closed the
meeting.
