of a public building which may be available for utilization in the event of such an emergency.
The Black Hawk County Health Department is investigating the possibility of use Veterans
Memorial Hall as an alternative site because of its central location to the downtown and
accessibility. The building would be used for community-wide immunization and care of
individuals in times of outbreaks. Black Hawk County Health would have multiple buildings to
use during the emergencies, such as Allen Hospital, Hawkeye Community College, UNI, etc.
During times of emergency necessitating the use of Veterans Memorial Hall, Black Hawk
County Health would have some form of security at the site, in addition to management staff. It
was the consensus of the commission that Mr. Meisinger come back with a memorandum of
understanding.

Citizens Oral Comments
Kelly Sullivan Loughren discussed the statue of St. Mary that is currently located in front of St.

of Memorial Hall . The statue was donated to St. Mary's Catholic Church in honor of all
veterans. Ms. Loughren reported she has contractors who would be willing to donate the cost of
moving the statue to Memorial Hall. Ms. Loughren still needs to visit with the archdiocese to
seek their approval of moving the statue to Memorial Hall.
Vice Chairperson Moore commented if the commission approves moving the statue to Memorial
Hall, we would have to talk to Craig Ritland, who has been our consultant on the walkway. Mr.
Ritland would be involved in the decision as to where to locate the statue.
Ms. Loughren commented that the Sullivan family does not want the statue to leave Waterloo
and would like to locate it to an area where veterans have access to it.
Moved by Thomas, seconded by Miller to accept the statue of St. Mary if the archdiocese gives
approval, subject to Craig Ritland's input on the location. Ms. Loughren stated we will need the
assistance of Mr. Ritland and others regarding location and a base for the statue. Ayes: Seven.

MEMORIAL HALL COMMISSION

Council Chambers
Members present: Chairperson Craig White, Randy E. Miller, Merlin Schueller, Marcia
Courbat, Don Ticknor, Michael Dennis, Marilyn Robinson.
Members absent: Ray Moore.
Also present: Don Ross, Randy D. Miller.
Moved by Dennis, seconded by Ticknor that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes:
Seven. Absent: Moore. Motion carried.
Moved by Schueller, seconded by Ticknor that the Minutes of March 23, 2005, as amended, be
approved. Ayes: Seven. Absent: Moore. Motion carried.
Citizens Oral Comments
Gerald Crowe, Stepfather of Eric Steffaney, was at the meeting to discuss a memorial for Eric.
They would like to place a bench in the walkway with a plaque stating the bench is in memory of
Eric Steffaney. Commissioners will get an estimate of the cost for a bench and get in touch with
Mr. Crowe.
Moved by Miller, seconded Ticknor that the request of Grout Museum to use Soldiers & Sailors
Park on Saturday, September 17, 2005 for a fundraising event, the Tall Grass Prairie BrewFest,
be approved.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Ms. Courbat stated she does not feel the park should be used for beer events, and that last year
organizers of the event set everything up on the bricks. Mr. Ross suggested that the event be
held at the Sullivan Brothers Park. Mr. Miller stated the Grout could use the area across the
street from their building, but events like this give exposure for Memorial Hall. Mr. Dennis
stated Veterans Memorial Hall and the walkway are memorials, like a sacred ground, and he
does not want to have a beer garden in the walkway. Chairperson White commented that a lot of
veterans drink beer. If the commission no longer allows beer in the area, citizens won't be able
to come to the park during events like the 4th of July celebration.
Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes:
Five. Nays: Courbat, Dennis. Motion carried.

Moved by Dennis, seconded by Courbat that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes:
Eight. Motion carried.
Moved by Ticknor, seconded by Courbat that the Minutes of February 23, 2005, as proposed, be
approved. Ayes: Eight. Motion carried.
Treasurer's Report
Ms. Courbat presented the March 2005 Treasurer's Report. Ms. Courbat reported the
commission has sold 2,359 bricks at $50.00 each and 4 bricks at $250.00 each for a total of
$118,950.00, with a balance of$8,915.44 plus $8,770.00 received from the Exchange Club for
the window covering project. The General Fund has a balance of$3,059.09, the Special Fund
has a balance of $1,296.00 and there is $1.53 in petty cash. An invoice in the amount of
$2,032.00 from Apollo Energy Systems for Phase III of the window covering project was
presented for payment. Moved by Miller, seconded by Courbat that the invoice in the amount of
$2,032.00 from Apollo Energy Systems for Phase III of the window covering project be
approved and City Clerk authorized to submit for payment. Ayes: Eight. Motion carried.
Chairperson's Report
Chairperson White read minutes from the October 23, 2002 meeting when the commission
authorized the Work Study Group to contact the Smithsonian Institute for ideas on the Civil War
Diary. December 18, 2002 was the last meeting attended by Randy D. Miller and he showed
some members of the commission where he put the diary. The Work Force Study Group gave a
report to the commission on February 26, 2003. Commission members further discussed efforts
to locate the Civil War Diary.
Committee Reports
Building, Grounds & Operations—Mr. Moore will meet with Carl Schuler about a base for the
index cabinet. A couple of firefighters are working on a locking system for the index cabinet.
Ms. Robinson reported Rolling Thunder is looking for someone to help with the costs of the
POW/MIA memorial.
Education/Historical—Mr. Dennis reported that ten padlocks with four hasps are needed for the
showcase on the second floor. Mr. Dennis stated that it would cost about $35.00 to purchase the
locks as they come two in a package. It was the consensus of the commission to buy locks with
one master key. Mr. Dennis reported the Waterloo Memorial Board is reserving Memorial Hall
for May 30, 2005.
Finance—Mr. Miller reported the commission could apply for grants but we would need to seek
the funds for specific projects such as the POW/MIA memorial. Mr. Miller suggested
monuments for Desert Storm, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
Unfinished Business
Mr. Dennis reported he is opposed to locating the POW/MIA memorial on the east side of the
building. He feels in the future that area could be used for handicapped parking. Sometimes it is
hard for vehicles to access Memorial Hall because of the fire lane and no parking on the street. It
was suggested the police department could put up handicapped parking bags during events.

Treasurer's Report
Ms. Courbat presented the February 2005 Treasurer's Report. Ms. Courbat reported the
commission has sold 2,346 bricks at $50.00 each and 4 bricks at $250.00 each for a total of
$118,300.00, with a balance of$8,265.44. The General Fund has a balance of $3,059.09, the
Special Fund has a balance of$1,296.00 and there is $10.73 in petty cash. Ms. Courbat read a
letter she is going to send to the Courier concerning Memorial Hall and the bricks.
Chairperson's Report
Chairperson White reported the Exchange Club of Waterloo donated $8,770.00, which will be
used for the window film project. He reported that the city repaired the roof in the back entrance
at a cost of$2,500.00. Amvets Post 19 has appointed Randy Miller to replace Thomas Broell as
their representative on the Memorial Hall Commission. His appointment as well as Dennis
Garthoffs appointment has been forwarded to Mayor Hurley. The city council will have to
approve the appointments.
Committee Reports
Building, Grounds & Operations—Mr. Moore reported that he, Ms. Courbat and Don Ross
searched the building for the Civil War diary and did not locate it. They found all the articles
that have been tagged along with a disk. Mr. Miller reported that his relative, who was a
member of the intern group from Hamilton College who worked on indexing the artifacts, said
the last time he saw the diary it was in a cabinet at Memorial Hall. Mr. Dennis suggested that we
need to visit with Roger Smith who was in charge of the interns. Mr. Ross suggested that the
commission look at the minutes as to when Randy Miller left and when the Hamilton College
students worked at Memorial Hall, specifically when the gentleman talked about contacting the
Smithsonian Institute about the Civil War diary. Chairperson White will talk to Randy Miler to
get a better description of the diary and get copies of the minutes from the City Clerk.
Ms. Robinson asked for support of the commission to locate the POW/MIA memorial on the east
side of the building where the flag pole is located. Ms. Robinson reported they have several
designs for the memorial, and the one submitted by Mr. Ross is solid granite. The question is
how to fund the cost for the memorial. It was suggested that Ms. Robinson take the design to
Craig Ritland for his approval to make sure it conforms with the design of the walkway. There
may be a cost involved to have him design the memorial. Ms. Robinson stated the base could be
limestone with the rest a black granite.
Moved by Robinson, seconded by Moore that the request to designate the area on the east side of
the building by the flag pole for the POW/MIA memorial be approved. Discussion followed the
motion. Mr. Dennis stated the location might be too isolated from the rest of the park. Mr. Ross
stated that most people enter the walkway by the Statue of Liberty and leave on the east side of
the building. Funding would be the responsibility of the organization and not the commission.
Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes:
Seven. Nays: Dennis. Motion carried.

MEMORIAL HALL COMMISSION
April 28, 2004
5:00 p.m.
Veterans Memorial Hall
Members present: Randy Miller, Merlin Schueller, Wayne Billman, Marcia Courbat, Dorothy
Billman, Michael Dennis, Marilyn Robinson, Ray Moore.
Members absent: Craig White, Thomas Broell, Don Ticknor, A.O. Gilbert.
Vice Chairperson Moore called the meeting to order.
The order of the agenda was amended to move the discussion item under New Business as Item
IV. Moved by D. Billman, seconded by W. Billman that the Agenda, as amended, be approved.
Ayes: Eight. Absent: White, Broell, Ticknor, Gilbert. Motion carried.
The minutes of March 24, 2004 were reviewed. Several amendments were made. Mr. Dennis
asked that the minutes reflect that the vote to hold a rummage sale was defeated. Moved by
Dennis, seconded by Miller that the Minutes of March 24, 2004, as amended, be approved.
Ayes: Eight. Absent: White, Broell, Ticknor, Gilbert. Motion carried.
George Warren reported that his association is looking at five sites for riverboat gambling, with
the Memorial Hall location one of the sites. They would make Memorial Hall the focal point.
This is a community project, and Memorial Hall and Soldiers and Sailors Park is a rare gem left
in town. The site is being considered because of the parking ramp connected to the Five Sullivan
Brothers Convention Center and Ramada Inn. This site is the third choice of five sites being
considered by members of the association. The boat would be on the river and Veterans Park
and the walkway areas would be incorporated as part of the entrance giving people a chance to
view and enjoy the building and park. Funding would be available to enhance the building. The
Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission will meet on June 10 to decide if the moratorium on
gambling will be lifted. If the moratorium is lifted, the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission
will make the decision as to where the riverboat would be located.
Mr. Moore stated he feels this could enhance the building and park. Mr. Dennis is in favor of the
riverboat locating by Memorial Hall as it makes good sense to attach it to the hotel, convention
center and ramp. Mr. Dennis feels this could help the commission to have the park opened year
round and bring more exposure and traffic.
Mr. Warren explained that the last study shows there would be 2.4 million visits per year.
Improvements to the ramp would be necessary.
Treasurer's Report
Ms. Courbat presented the April 2004 Treasurer's Report. Ms. Courbat reported that the

Black Hawk Memorial Co. be approved and the City Clerk authorized to submit for payment.
Ayes: Eight. Absent: White, Broell, Ticknor, Gilbert. Motion carried.

aside for contributors. It would be 8" x 16" granite stone brick with "major contributors"
engraved on the stone. Mr. Moore will look at what Cedar Falls has done about their

commission will discuss this item at the next meeting.

Chairperson's Report
Chairperson White reported he met with Billie Bailey of the Grout Museum to discuss the
picture of the Five Sullivan Brothers on loan from the commission to the Grout Museum. Ms.
Bailey suggested that since the picture is on display at the Grout Museum and they have more
visitors than Memorial Hall, Grout Museum would like to put a plaque on the picture noting the
picture is on loan from the Memorial Hall Commission. Mr. Billman stated he understands that
the picture is used for educational purposes, but he feels the commission should receive
monetary consideration because Grout charges people to tour the building. Mr. Billman stated
the commission needs funds, too, and the Grout uses the picture to gain notoriety for them. Mr.
Billman stated he feels they show partiality for the Five Sullivan Brothers family when other
families lost members. Mr. Moore stated he feels there are many more items in the building that
the Grout Museum could borrow for display.
Moved by Thomas, seconded by W. Billman that the Grout Museum be allowed to continue to
display the picture of the Five Sullivan Brothers as long as they attach a plaque that the picture is
on loan from the Memorial Hall Commission.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, commission members discussed the motion and were in
agreement as long as the Grout Museum understands the picture is on loan.
Ayes: Seven. Absent: Broell, Smith, Ticknor, Robinson, Gilbert. Motion carried.
Committee Reports
Building & Grounds Committee—Mr. Moore suggested that the commission keep a record of all
items that are on loan. The City Clerk volunteered to put together the book. Mr. Moore
addressed the issue of the new bricks being used for the walkway. Mr. Moore stated prior to the
start of the second phase of the walkway he showed the bricks to Black Hawk Memorial and
they said the bricks would work. Mr. Moore stated that Craig Ritland, Dolan Concrete and he

Ms. Courbat reported she wrote a letter to John Deere Waterloo Works for a donation of
$8,000.00, and we received $5,000.00. Ms. Courbat will write a thank you letter to John Deere.
Mr. Dennis suggested that the letter inform John Deere that a section will be set aside for
sponsors and ask them for permission to place a brick recognizing John Deere in that section.
Discussion followed regarding recognizing corporate sponsors. Ms. Courbat stated that it is hard
to place the corporate sponsor bricks in the walkway and suggested the commission use a metal
plaque listing all the sponsors.

walkway, and they were going to ask the donors if they would approve using the money for that
purpose. Mr. Moore suggested the grant from Community Foundation could be used for
benches.

Education/Historical Committee—Mr. Dennis reported the Education/Historical Committee met
on August 13, 2002. The committee reviewed the minutes of January 23, 2002 regarding the
opinion from the Assistant City Attorney regarding ownership of the artifacts in the building, the
Quit Claim Deed describing Memorial Hall, Deed of Conveyance of Property, GAR to SUVCW
and a 1953 picture of Albert Woolson on a Memorial Day Program from the files of the
Waterloo Memorial Board and the Constitution and By-Laws of the Memorial Hall Commission.
The committee discussed the following items: cataloging items, security and insurance, tinting
of windows vs. monuments and benches, DAV ceremony rifles. The following items are
missing: desk that was in the office, keys for wall cabinets, and big chest for storing cemetery
flags. Mr. Dennis stated there should be no more confusion that the property is considered for
the community's use and benefit. A person needs to be put in place to catalog and keep track of
items checked out and in. The committee discussed the storage of flags, cemetery rosters and old
documents to be stored at Memorial Hall. Mr. Dennis stated that the Grout Museum has a
picture of the Five Sullivan Brothers that was loaned to them by the Memorial Hall Commission.
Mr. Ross reported that the desk was removed for the space, and the chest used to store flags was
thrown out.
Randy D. Miller stated that the items currently on display need to be packed up and put away and
displayed only on special occasions. Mr. Dennis suggested leaving the artifacts on display but
covering them.
Ms. Courbat stated that she talked with Mr. Waterbury and requested funds from the McElroy
Trust. In order to qualify for a grant, the commission would need to provide tours and have
educational information. Ms. Courbat reported that brick orders received by October 4, 2002
will be installed by November 11, 2002. Mr. Ross stated it all comes down to funds and
subcommittees. In order to qualify for grants the building needs to be available for 20 hours per
week.
The commission discussed dates of all the wars and conflicts and the wording for the memorial
benches.
Mr. Smith suggested that the commission needs to consider insuring all the artifacts.

Members present: Randy E. Miller, Randy D. Miller, Roger Smith, Wayne Billman, Marcia
Courbat, Dorothy Billman, Don Ticknor, Michael Dennis, Marilyn Robinson, Ray Moore.
Members absent: Craig White, Randy McHone, A. O. Gilbert.

Ten. Absent: White, McHone, Gilbert. Motion carried.

Citizens Oral Comments
Randy D. Miller stated that Phil Thomas spoke about the Riverfront Renaissance Plan at the last
meeting and the opportunity to involve Memorial Hall. Mr. Miller stated that the Waterloo
Courier had an editorial in Sunday's paper regarding using Memorial Hall as the Veteran Center
that is being proposed as part of the Riverfront Renaissance Plan. Mr. Miller reported that he
asked the city if we could add onto Memorial Hall. It appears that the only place where space is
available for an addition to Memorial Hall is off Fifth Street, but until plans are submitted a
decision cannot be made as to whether an addition would be permissible because of the historical
value of Memorial Hall. Mr. Miller asked if the commission would like the Veteran Center to be
located at Memorial Hall, which would include a satellite for a food pantry, clothes closet,
computer area and job information. Mr. Miller stated that the Veteran Affairs offices currently
contain about 700 square feet. Mr. Miller questioned if Memorial Hall should be used for both
displaying our artifacts and to help the veterans.
The commission discussed using Memorial Hall for the Veterans Center. Mr. Moore stated he
does not feel the building should be utilized for the center. Mr. Dennis stated since Memorial
Hall is listed on the National Historical Register, he did not believe any substantial work can be
done on the building, plus we lack parking at this location. Mr. Dennis stated he believes the
Veterans Center should be off-premise. Mr. Billman questioned if an addition could be built on
the building and how much money from Vision Iowa would be available for the veterans. Mr.
Ross stated that the Memorial Hall Commission's mission does not include what is being
discussed tonight. Mr. Ross stated he feels the commission is blessed not to have been a part of
the Riverfront Renaissance Plan and are able to do want we want with the grounds and building.
Mr. Ross stated he was not sure that as a commission we should make a statement for or against
Vision Iowa funds. Randy E. Miller stated that he feels we need the space we have to use for the
display of all the artifacts, and that city regulations regarding setbacks might prohibit an addition
to the building. Mr. Moore stated he feels the commission's focus should be restoration of the
building and walkway. Mr. Smith stated he agrees and supports Mr. Ross's statements, and that
the Riverfront Renaissance Plan has turned into an extremely controversial subject that the
commission should not want to get involved in. Mr. Smith stated that the Disabled American
Veterans organization believes this commission should not get involved in the discussion of the
Veteran Center. Mr. Dennis stated the Memorial Hall building was originally built as a
memorial to the veterans, and has been used as a hospital and currently used as a Red Cross
Disaster Center. Mr. Dennis stated he feels the building should be left as it is and not change its
use.
Randy E. Miller now absent at 5:30 p.m.
Ray Moore now in the chair at 5:30 p.m.
Mr. Moore reported that on July 29 he will be retiring as an employee of the city, but he will
remain a member of the commission.

all those things. Randy D. Miller stated that Memorial Hall lacks space to display items. Mr.

Veterans Memorial Hall. Mr. Moore responded that it is his understanding that the walkway will

balance of$24,849.31 in the brick fund. Ms. Courbat reported there is $2,607.49 in the general
fund, $1,100.00 in the special donation fund and $49.00 in the petty cash fund. A question was
asked as to whether the special donations are kept in a separate fund. Ms. Courbat responded that
they are.
Chairpersons Report
Chairperson White thanked Ray Moore of the Waterloo Fire Department, Marcia Courbat, Mike
Dolan Construction and Randy E. Miller for all their work on the bricks in preparation for the
upcoming Memorial Day weekend events.
Committee Reports:
Building Grounds & Operations Committee—Chairperson Moore reported that there are currently
500 to 600 bricks available for engraving, and 24 engraved bricks are ready to be picked up from
Black Hawk Memorial. Mr. Moore stated that he is concerned about possible cracks that have been
observed forming in some of the engraved bricks. Mr. Moore has asked Black Hawk Memorial to
watch for possible crack formation in the bricks before they are engraved. At some future point
expenses may be incurred by Memorial Hall Commission to replace bricks in the walkway if they
should crack. Mr. Moore also said he has been in contact with Stetson regarding sealing of the
bricks. Stetson representatives recommend not sealing the bricks. The bricks are set on a sand
base, which allows water to drain away from the bricks, making a sealer unnecessary. If the bricks
are sealed, eventually the sealer will show wear and deterioration in the traffic pattern and the sealer
could also have an adverse effect on the black paint used in the engraving process. Mr. Moore
concurs with the recommendation not to seal the bricks.
Mr. Moore reported that the fountain nozzles have been adjusted and the fountain is currently in
working order. The turn-on valve is under the sink in the kitchen in Memorial Hall. The valve
does not need to be turned completely on as there is excellent water pressure to the fountain.
Mr. Ross reported that upcoming events scheduled are: June e'—Purple Heart; July 0—Rolling
Thunder; July 10t—City of Waterloo Riverfront Renaissance; August 10th—Main Street. Memorial
Hall will be open to the public on Memorial Day
Historical/Education Committee—Chairperson Dennis had no report.
Finance/Fund Raising Committee—Chairperson Randy E. Miller had no report.

has sold 1,869 bricks at $50.00 each and 3 bricks at 250.00 each for a total of$94,200.00, with a

Committee Reports
Education/Historical Committee—Randy D. Miller read a letter from Michael Dennis,
Chairperson of the Education/Historical Committee, regarding the request from the Red Cross
worker to purchase a brick. Mr. Dennis reported that there are no regulations in the By-laws
pertaining to brick sales. The current brick form clearly indicates that inscribed bricks are
exclusively for names of veterans only. The order form should be updated to list the names of
current council members and to add U.S. before the word military. In reviewing the minutes,
sponsors are also allowed to purchase bricks for $500.00, $250.00 and $50.00 each. The
committee made the following recommendation to adopt three categories:
1. Only names of veterans shall be eligible for placement in the Veterans Freedom
Walkway.
2. Sponsor bricks shall be in a different category and placed in a separate, designated
area.
3. Adopt another category for military support persons who served overseas in a conflict
or war, and these bricks to be placed in a separate, designated area. Such as:
a. American Red Cross.
b. National Media
c. The U.S.O.
Only veterans would be eligible to enter all three categories.

It was the consensus of the commission that anyone wanting to move them, they will have to pay
to have them moved. A written request to the commission will be required. Mr. Moore will
contact Mike Dolan to see if he would want to do that and report back to the commission.
Mr. Moore stated for the Red Cross worker, when Dolan is putting in the other bricks, we will
see if the brick can be moved without jarring the other bricks, but we need to be firm about other
requests. Mr. Moore stated if there are just a few requests, we could scatter them all over. If
there are a lot of requests, it would no longer be Veterans Walkway. We could bring these types
of requests to the commission on a case-by-case basis. Mr. Smith stated his chapter voted
unanimously not to allow non-veterans bricks in the walkway. Mr. Moore stated a sport could
be reserved in Phase II. Mr. Ross stated he agrees with Mr. Smith. If we set a precedent where
does the commission draw the line. The Red Cross could purchase a brick as a group for
$500.00
Moved by Moore, seconded by Courbat to accept special requests on a case-by-case basis to be
laid in one square in Phase II.
Discussion followed. Mr. Ross stated he feels the walkway is designated for soldiers and sailors,
that is the name of the park.
A roll call vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes: Six. Nays:
Smith, W. Billman, Ross. Absent: Randy D. Miller, D. Billman, Randy McHone, A. O. Gilbert.
Motion carried.
With no further business before the commission, the meeting was adjourned at 6:15 p.m.

husband's brick.
Moved by Randy E. Miller, seconded by Randy D. Miller that the request from the Red Cross

Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Discussion followed regarding the types of requests the commission could receive for the brick
walkway. Randy D. Miller stated that the commission will be setting a precedent allowing the
brick. The commission could set a policy that anyone who served overseas in the middle of a

precedent on this request what other requests will be received and where do we stop. Ms.
Robinson suggested a different category for military support or an honorary brick. Mr. Dennis
suggested the woman purchase the special $250.00 brick. Mr. Billman suggested that a
committee review the By-Laws to see if this would be allowed. Chairperson White asked the
Education/Historical Committee to review the By-Laws and bring back a recommendation to the
commission at next month's meeting.
Moved by W. Billman, seconded by Smith that the request be tabled for one month. Ayes:
Eleven. Absent: McHone, Gilbert. Motion carried.

Treasurer's Report
Ms. Courbat gave the Treasurer's Report. Ms. Courbat reported that as of November 28, 2001
the commission has sold 1,715 bricks at $50.00 each and 3 bricks at $250.00 each for a total
amount of $86,450.00, with a balance of $20,079.86 in the brick fund. The commission has

rental of the building and a donation of $50.00 from the John Deere Credit Union leaving a
balance of$2,339.99 in the general fund. The commission has a zero pretty cash balance.
Elaine Clemens reported that the letter entitled "We Have a Dilemma" was printed in the
Waterloo Courier. Ms. Clemens reported that she has received several calls since the letter was
printed, one from an important business man in town who suggested the commission send each
business a letter requesting donations. The business man stated he had never been asked to make
a donation. Ms. Clemens will draft a letter for Chairperson White's signature to be mailed out to
area businesses before our next meeting. A copy of the "We Have a Dilemma" letter will be
attached to the letter soliciting funds. Mr. Moore suggested that the letter state the commission's
goals, Mr. Ross suggested asking them to join our fundraising committee to spearhead our fund-
raisers, and Randy D. Miller suggested that we ask businesses to donate materials that are needed
by the commission. The City Clerk will provide the labels and mailing for the letters. Mr.
Moore stated that the commission needs funds to renovate the outside of the building, window
coverings and three flagpoles. Randy D. Miller stated the commission also needs funding for
categorizing and displaying of the artifacts.
Moved by Courbat, seconded by D. Billman that Ms. Clemens draft a letter to be mailed to local
businesses to request donations for the next phase of the Memorial Hall Restoration.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Randy E. Miller stated that once the letters are mailed the commission should hold an open
house. Randy D. Miller commented that over $200,000 has been spent on Phase I, and that
Phase II could cost another $200,000. Mr. Ross stated that the commission needs to assign
someone to be in charge of communications. Randy E. Miller stated that an open house could
encourage donations. Chairperson White suggested that the commission hold an open house
after the letters are sent to thank everyone donating for the renovations.
Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes:
Eight. Absent: Duquette, Robinson, Schlimmer. Motion carried.

Chairperson's Report
Chairperson White reported that a gentlemen was upset that the handwritten list of where the
bricks are located in the park was not up to date. Chairperson White stated he informed the
gentlemen that all this work is done by volunteers, and we try to keep the list as up to date as
possible. Chairperson White thanked Randy D. Miller and Randy E. Miller for their hard work
on the Veteran's Day celebration. Chairperson White thanked everyone on the commission for
the great job they are doing, including the Fire Department and Engineering Department.
Chairperson White stated he would like to get in touch with the American Legion and Amvets to
set up a program to help parents who have children serving in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The
program would help them know what to write to their children, what to send in care packages,
etc.
Chairperson White read a letter the City Clerk received from the Associate Engineer regarding
the sign permit for Veteran's Memorial Hall. The information received form the IDOT requires
that the tourist attraction must be open a minimum of 40 hours per week five days per week, and
be open a minimum of three consecutive months per year. Mr. Ross commented that the park is
open day and night and tourist can visit the brick walkway at any time.
Committee Reports
Building & Grounds Committee—Mr. Ross reviewed the second phase of the brick walkway.
Hopefully, bids will be requested in November 2001, with work to start in February or March
2002. The second phase includes the space directly behind the back of the building, where there

Louis Cutwright, Building Official, updated the commission on the ADA improvements to
Memorial Hall. Mr. Cutwright reported that the city council approved the bid received from
Huff Contracting, Inc. in the amount of $107,955.00 for the ADA project. The city hired
Invision Architecture for the architect on the project, and they have worked closely with the city
so that the plans would be in compliance with the Iowa Historical Commission. Mr. Cutwright
reported that the life safety code and building code requires that the building have another set of
steps for ingress and egress. These codes have been in effect for years, and now that Memorial
Hall is being used as a meeting place, the city is required to install the second set of steps. The
ADA Commission has approved the plans and authorized to proceed. The contractor hopes to
have the project completed by May 1, 2001, so that the building will be ready for the Memorial
Day celebration. Mr. Cutwright stated that in addition to the new steps, an elevator will also be
installed. Mr. Cutwright reported that the artifacts in the cases will need to be removed and
stored in another location during the construction project. The cabinets are not being destroyed,
but they will be relocated to a new area. Mr. Cutwright stated that when the project is
completed, there should be the same amount of cabinets, but they will be at different locations in
the building. Mr. Cutwright stated that a pre-construction meeting will be held on November 28,
2000, and the contractor hopes to start construction on December 11, 2000. All artifacts should
be removed by December 11, 2000. The city's facilities maintenance personnel will reroute one
of the steam lines to maintain heat during the construction. Mr. Wright reported that the
contractor is required to use the same or similar type of wood currently in the building. Mr.
Cutwright stated that the new steps will be constructed of wood, and he will review with the
contractor to make sure the wood is compatible with wood currently in the building. Mr. Wright
reviewed the plans with the commissioners.

MEMORIAL HALL COMMISSION
January 26, 2000
5:00 p.m.
Veterans Memorial Hall
Members present: Chairperson Craig White, Don Ross, Randy Miller, Michael Dennis, Elaine
Clemens, Dorothy Billman, Tim Rippe, John Schlimmer, Ray Moore, Ira Kimm.
Members absent: Wayne Billman.
Also present: Frank Magsamen.
Moved by Miller, seconded by Clemens that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes:
Nine. Absent: Wayne Billman, Duquette. Motion carried.
Moved by Rippe, seconded by Miller that the Minutes of November 17, 1999, as proposed, be
approved. Ayes: Nine. Absent: Wayne Billman, Duquette. Motion carried.
Rick Hurtado inquired if the name of the organization donating a brick for veterans can be
inscribed on the brick. Mr. Rippe noted that in Cedar Falls an organization could donate $250.00
for a brick, and those bricks were located in a different area. Mr. Rippe commented that we
should check Black Hawk Memorial to see if they have other bricks that could be used by the
organizations. Mr. Miller suggested using a different color or size for bricks donated by
organizations. Mr. Hurtado asked if there is a limit on the number of letters that can be inscribed
on the brick. Mr. Rippe stated that the number of letters is limited by the size of the brick. As
you add lines and letters, the cost of engraving will increase. Chairperson White will contact
Black Hawk Memorial on the size of bricks available and engraving.
Kimm now present at 5:12 p.m.
Treasurer Marcia Courbat was not in attendance, but Chairperson White read a letter from Ms.
Courbat. The total amount of money collected for the bricks is $9,800.00. Ms. Courbat's
husband is in the hospital in Rochester, Minnesota, and she will probably not be able to attend
the February meeting.
Chairperson White stated that he, Randy Miller, Dorothy Billman were reappointed by the City
Council on January 24, 2000. John Schlimmer was appointed to replace Norm Beu.
Chairperson White appointed John Schlimmer as the chairperson of the Operations Committee.
Mr. Moore reported that the Exchange Club has donated $4,000.00 for restoration of the Civil
War Monument. The new liner has been installed and the marble stones have been caulked. The
plumbing work will be completed in the spring. The total cost for the project to date is
$2,820.00. Mr. Moore suggested a rededication ceremony be planned when the restoration
project is completed. It was suggested that a city council meeting be held at Veterans Memorial
Hall. Mr. Miller suggested the monument be rededicated on Memorial Day. Mr. Moore stated
that a plaque will be made thanking the Exchange Club.
Mr. Moore stated that during Christmas, they received inquiries if gift certificates were available
for the bricks. Mr. Moore and Ms. Courbat created a gift certificate that could be used for a
Christmas gift. Mr. Moore suggested that certificates be made for birthdays, Veteran's Day,
Mother and Father's Day, etc. The City Clerk will have certificates typed for those special
occasions and bring back to the commission for review.
Mr. Moore stated that architect Craig Ritland suggested that the entrance for Sailor and Soldiers
Park be off of 4th Street. The Civil War Monument would be moved closer to 4th Street with the
walkway starting by 4th Street toward Veterans Memorial Hall. Staff from the Leisure Services
Department is working on the landscaping. Mr. Moore stated that a decision needs to be made
on the specifications and bids should be let in early spring.

Mr. Moore stated that Craig Ritland feels the stone should be native limestone, and the
monuments could be constructed so that they could be used as benches. Mr. Moore commented
that when the commission gets an estimated cost for each memorial, we should ask organizations
for donations to fund the memorials.
Mr. Moore stated that the commission needs to do a news blitz advertising the sale of the bricks.
Ms. Eckert suggested that the information on the sale of bricks be put on the bulletin board on
the Government Access Channel and also be put on music on hold in City Hall.
Mr. Ross stated that he is creating a list of persons and organizations who have new keys for
Memorial Hall. Mr. Ross commented that the pipes in the boiler room have been insulated and
the plumbing repaired. Mr. Ross reported that Dick Dewater has volunteered to help with
plastering the room on the second floor. Chairperson White stated that Randy Miller has also
volunteered to help with the plastering.
Mr. Moore stated that the commission has talked about purchasing pallets of bricks and taking
them to Black Hawk Memorial to start engraving the applications that we have received. Black
Hawk Memorial is only able to engrave approximately nine bricks per day.
It was moved by Rippe, seconded by Miller to purchase a pallet of bricks and deliver them to
Black Hawk Memorial. Ayes: Ten. Absent: Wayne Billman. Motion carried.
Mr. Moore will order the pallet of bricks and transport them to Black Hawk Memorial.
Mr. Ross stated that Main Street Waterloo decorated Veterans Memorial Hall for the holidays.
Mr. Ross stated that the Waterloo Convention & Visitors Bureau has requested information on
the building and Sailors and Soldiers Park and plans for the building and grounds.
Mr. Rippe reported that he has created a brochure that contains the information requested by the
Convention & Visitors Bureau. Mr. Rippe submitted a copy of the brochure and suggested that a
picture of the building be put on front of the brochure and a picture of the park be put on the back
of the brochure. Mr. Rippe will make revisions to the brochure and bring back to the
commission.
City Clerk Nancy Eckert reported that the city will be contracting with Cue's Janitorial to
provide janitorial services to Veterans Memorial Hall. The contract cost $288.00 per month.
The building will be cleaned twice per month, with all supplies furnished by Cue's Janitorial
Service, including paper products. When requested Cue's Janitorial will wash the windows
inside and out for a cost of$450.00 per time.
Mr. Dennis reported that a new veteran organization, the Sons of Union Veterans, is being
chartered. Meetings were held in December and January. Their main objective is to restore Civil
War tombstones, and they also do re-enactments. Mr. Miller noted that the Sons of Union
Veterans also have daughter and auxiliary units. On Memorial Day 2001, they will have an
encampment. The Folk Life Festival of Iowa will also be held on that weekend. The organizers
have requested that Veterans Memorial Hall be opened Memorial Day 2001 weekend.
It was moved by Miller, seconded by Dennis that the grounds and building be available for the
Folk Life Festival of Iowa to be held Memorial Day 2001. Ayes: Ten. Absent: Wayne
Billman. Motion carried.
Mr. Kimm suggested that a brick be donated in honor of the Waterloo firefighters for their
volunteer of time and material for the building and grounds. Mr. Rippe stated that it was his
intention to create a list of names of all who have helped and formally recognize everyone,
perhaps with a meal.
Mr. Rippe reported that Asquith Jewelry has donated five display cases made out of solid cherry.
The display cases are 10' x 5'. Discussion was heard regarding how to get the display cases in
the building. Mr. Moore will pick up the display cases.
Memorial Hall
January 26,2000
Page 3
It was moved by Miller, seconded by Clemens to accept the five display cases from Asquith
Jewelry. Ayes: Ten. Absent: Wayne Billman. Motion carried.
Mr. Miller stated that the commission needs to find someone to continue the inventory of
artifacts. Mr. Miller noted that he has concerns with the work already completed. Mr. Ross
commented that material needs to be installed on the windows to keep the sun out. Mr. Ross
suggested contacting veteran organizations and college students to help with the restoration and
inventorying of the artifacts.
Ms. Clemens noted that we need someone with museum experience to inform the commission
what we need to do such as humidity control. Ms. Clemens will ask a representative from the
Cedar Falls Museum to attend a meeting to explain what the commission needs to do in order to
continue with the restoration project.
Mr. Ratiner commented that he volunteered to help with the restoration of the artifacts but Grout
personnel never contacted him. Mr. Ratiner suggested that if the commission has a number of a
particular item, perhaps we should only keep one and sell the others to help raise funds to hire a
person to do the inventory.
The next meeting will be held on February 23, 2000.
With no further business before the commission, it was moved by Dorothy Billman, seconded by
Kimm that the meeting be adjourned at 6:35 p.m. Ayes: Ten. Absent: Wayne Billman. Motion
carried.

Chairperson Rippe asked members to check what they have in their possession and to get back to
Ms. Courbat.
Beu now present at 5:10 p.m.
Ms. Courbat stated that someone should proofread the applications for bricks. Chairperson Rippe
will review the applications and make recommendations. Ms. Courbat reported that she has spent
$8.00 of petty cash for postage and envelopes used to mail out brick applications. Ms. Courbat
will contact the Hometowner to place an advertisement on the sale of bricks. Many veteran
organizations have announced the sale of bricks in their newsletter.
Chairperson Rippe stated that on the news last night there was a segment on Professor Katherine
Van Wormer, of the University of Northern Iowa. Professor Van Wormer is publicly stating that
military presence at the universities in the form of the ROTC is an intrusion on education.
Professor Van Wormer wrote a letter to the editor of U.S. News & World Report citing her
opinion of the military and ROTC programs. In her letter to U.S. News & World Report,
Professor Van Wormer identified herself as a professor at UNI and makes it sound like she is
representing UNI. Robert Koob, President of UNI, has publicly stated that Professor Van
Wormer's views do not represent the university. Chairperson Rippe stated that the commission
needs to let the administration at UNI know the commission's concern about the status of the
ROTC program. Chairperson Rippe recommended that the commission send a letter to UNI
expressing the commission's concerns regarding Professor Van Wormer.

President of UNI, expressing that the commission does not concur with Professor Van Wormer's
philosophy regarding the ROTC program.

funding. Mr. Miller commented that there is a Jr. ROTC program at East High School and the
students are responding positively. Chairperson Rippe noted that the City of Waterloo funds the
Jr. ROTC program at East High School.

memorials. Mr. Ritland explained his proposed blueprint for the grounds. The trees would need

that if the city will allow changes to the street,he is in favor of creating parking.

door owned by the city. Chairperson Rippe commented that there is limited space for trees and

veteran organizations meeting on official business. Chairperson Rippe stated that with the
exception to handicap parking, he does not see a need to add more parking.
Jim Ellis, Associate Engineer for City of Waterloo, stated that he believes it is feasible to vacate
the street, but that would have to be approved by the city's Technical Review Committee.

Rippe commented that there is parking in the ramp, on-street meter parking, with no cost after
5:00 p.m. Chairperson Rippe stated that when visitors are looking at the bricks, they are going to
like green space for resting.

MEMORIAL HALL COMMISSION
May 12, 1999
5:00 p.m.
Veterans Memorial Hall
Members present: Chairperson Tim Rippe, Craig White, Dale Hixson, Randy Miller, Norman
Ratiner, Elaine Clemens, Norm Beu, Ray Moore.
Members absent: Wayne Billman, Dennis Geary, Norman Duquette, Dorothy Billman.
Also present: Marcia Courbat, Don Ross, Mayor John Rooff.
The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Rippe. Rippe stated that the special meeting was
to discuss and review the landscaping plans for Veterans Memorial Hall.
Moved by Miller, seconded by Clemens that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Eight.
Absent: W. Billman, Geary, Duquette, D. Billman. Motion carried.
Moore reported that the Building & Grounds Committee met with Todd Derified from the city's
Leisure Services Department to draw plans for landscaping and location of the veterans'
monuments. The commission needs to address the number and location of the monuments. The
fountain which honors Civil War Veterans will need to be refurbished. Moore reviewed the plans
with the commission.
Miller reported that t the plans show the Statue of Liberty will stay at its current location, and the
Unknown Soldier monument will be moved to a new location. Miller stated that the Statue of
Liberty will need to be refurbished.
Mayor Rooff stated that he would like granite type memorials for veterans of the
Spanish/American War, World War I, World War II, Korean Conflict and Vietnam War. Mayor
Rooff suggested installing brass plates on the sidewalks honoring veterans from all the other
conflicts. Mayor Rooff stated when the plans are completed we should be able to walk on the
sidewalk and visit each memorial.
Rippe suggested that students from UNI be enlisted to design the monuments, and that each
monument be uniquely designed.
Moore suggested the sidewalks be inlaid with bricks that can be inscribed with an individual
veteran name. Mayor Rooff suggested bricks that were recovered from East Third Street be used
for the walkways, and when individuals purchase a brick, the old brick could be removed and
replaced with the engraved brick.
Rippe reported that when the Veterans Memorial was built in Cedar Falls, they went through
Black Hawk Memorial who has a subcontractor who engraves the bricks.
Miller stated that the Memorial Board will have to be notified of the landscaping plans. The
location of the Memorial Day celebrations may have to be moved.
Moved by Clemens, seconded by Ratiner that the plans for the landscaping and monuments be
accepted as proposed. Ayes: Eight. Absent: W. Billman, Geary, Duquette, D. Billman. Motion
carried.
Moore reported that he talked with the city's Leisure Services Department regarding the two
trees the commission wants to plant on Memorial Day. Moore stated that volunteers will start
planting the trees and shrubs on Tuesday, May 18, 1999 starting at 8:30 a.m.
Hixson suggested choosing two trees from the group of trees that have been purchased from
Meyer's Nursery. Rippe asked that Moore and Ross pick out two trees that are on the original
landscaping plan.

Billman, Dennis Geary, Ira Kimm, Elaine Clemens, Dorothy Billman,Norm Beu, Dennis Duggan.
Members absent: Craig White.
Also present: Marcia Courbat, Evalyn Davison, Lorraine Ihnen, Fire Chief Frank Magsamen.
Moved by Clemens, seconded by Dorothy Billman that the Minutes of August 26, 1998, as
proposed, be approved. Ayes: Eleven. Absent: White. Motion carried.
Moved by Wayne Billman, seconded by Geary that the Agenda, as amended to add Item#3 under
Chairperson's Report entitled, "Review of Telephone System", be approved. Ayes: Eleven.
Absent: White. Motion carried.
The Financial Report was given by Marcia Courbat. The commission currently has $3,869.46 in
donated funds. Ms. Courbat submitted a bill from James Dean in the amount of $88.00 for
miscellaneous items Mr. Dean purchased for the hog roast.
Moved by Geary, seconded by Ross that the City Clerk be instructed to pay James Dean in the
amount of$88.00 for miscellaneous items purchased for the pig roast.
Prior to a vote on the above motion,the following comments were heard.
Ms. Courbat stated that the commissions needs to write a letter to the courier thanking James
Dean, all the businesses who donated items and all the citizens who attended the pig roast.
Following comments, a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes:
Eleven. Absent: White. Motion carried.
Chairperson Rippe reported on the progress of the design of the new letterhead. The American
flag will have to be removed because with all the organizations listed there is not enough room for
the flag. The order that the veteran organizations are listed needs to be corrected, and the City
Clerk will investigate the correct address for Memorial Hall.
The City Clerk reported that she has spoken with Roger Crimmins, the person who wrote the
application for the grant last year, which is currently paying for the salary of the Collection
Manager. Mr. Crimmins is investigating to see what other grants are available for the commission
to make application.
Chairperson Rippe reported that grant funding for the position of Collection Manager will expire
on December 31, 1998. If the commission does not find a new funding source, we will not be
able to replace Ms. Ihnen. Rippe suggested that perhaps UNI would have a work study person
who would be able to help with the indexing and inventorying of all the items. Ross suggested
that the commission ask for private donations from businesses or organizations to fund the
position.
Chairperson Rippe updated the commission on the telephone system. Rippe reported that
Midwest Tele-Comp, Inc. will donate a telephone system, including five telephones, that was
formerly used in the Pinecrest offices on Independence Avenue. Midwest Tele-Comp, Inc. will
donate the telephone system, but will charge $580.00 to install all the lines and jacks. The system
includes speaker telephones, intercom and voice messaging. There is no warranty and the
commission will have to pay for all repairs. A maintenance service contract can be purchased.

Also present: Don Ross, Marcia Courbat, Lorraine Ihnen, Lyle Dean.
Chairperson Tim Rippe called the meeting to order.
Moved by Clemens, seconded by Miller that the Minutes of May 27, 1998, as amended to correct
two typos, be approved. Ayes: Nine. Absent: White, Faulkner, Beu. Motion carried.
Ms. Courbat reported that an additional $91 has been collected from the sale of the "Restore
Memorial Hall" buttons. The $91 was given to the City Clerk to deposit in the Memorial Hall
fund.

donated funds after bills in the amount of$1,329.50 from Polk's Lock Service, Grout Museum
and Sandee's Ltd. were paid. The addition of the $91 submitted by Courbat brings the current
balance to $974.46.
Chairperson Rippe stated that he has been working on the design of letterhead for the
commission. He has a picture of the building and will be working with Ad-Fax to develop the
master. Nancy Eckert, City Clerk, stated that once the master has been completed, the city will
have the letterhead printed at no cost to the commission.
Chairperson Rippe stated that Pinecrest is installing a new telephone system, and he spoke with a
gentleman at Pinecrest and asked for donation of the used phones for use at Memorial Hall. It has
been proposed that a phone with an answering machine be installed in the office area, and a touch-
tone wall-mounted phone be installed in the hallway.
Chairperson Rippe stated that it has been suggested that the rooms in Memorial Hall be named
after prominent citizens. Hazel Gilbert has been suggested because she spent a lot of time with
veterans and helped with the building. It was reported that the room on the second floor has been
called the Hazel Gilbert room, and it was suggested that her name remain with that room. The
Building & Grounds Committee will review suggestions and come back to the commission with a
recommendation. Chairperson Rippe suggested that later on plaques could be put on the wall of
each room to explain why the person was selected.
White now present at 5:20 p.m.
Chairperson Rippe distributed a proposed Operations Policy. All users of the building will be
required to sign the policy prior to using the building. Rippe also made a list of annexes for the
Building & Grounds, Operations, Educational/Historical and Finance/Fundraising Committees.
Each committee needs to expand and finalize the proposed Operations Policy for the August
meeting. Rippe will contact Stan Eastman or Norman Beu to see if one of them would be
willing to chair the Operations Committee. Rippe reported that a person needs to be appointed as
the Building Superintendent and suggested Don Ross.
Chairperson Rippe stated that security will become important to the building and the commission
needs to think about an alarm and security system. Moore reported that photographs were taken
of all the artifacts on the shelves, and they were put into the computer.
Discussion was heard on the Pork Roast scheduled for Friday, July 17, 1998 from 4:00 p.m. to
8:00 p.m. at the National Guard Armory. Covenant Hospital has printed all the fliers and tickets

Rippe reported that he will be working on designing letterhead for the commission. Rippe
suggested using a picture of Memorial Hall on one corner, with a flag on the other corner. The
letterhead will include the name and address of the commission.
Rippe stated that the telephones in the building need to be updated as they are rotary style. It was
suggested that the commission purchase a remote telephone with an answering machine. Moved
by Clemens, seconded by Dorothy Billman that authorization to purchase a touch-tone, cordless
telephone with an answering machine at a cost not to exceed $150.00 be approved. Ayes: Nine.
Absent: White, Fulks, Eastman, Beu. Motion carried.
Lorraine Ihnen reported that she has been approached about using the building as a promotion of
a book written about the men on the Juneau. The publisher felt this would be a good setting to
sell the book. Moved by Miller, seconded by Moore that authorization to use the Memorial Hall
Building on May 29, 1998 for book signing be approved.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Moore stated that he has concerns about security for the building. Rippe stated that Ross, Ihnen,

that a signed copy be donated to the commission.
Following discussion a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes:
Nine. Absent: White, Fulks, Eastman, Beu. Motion carried.
Rippe reported that the Girl Scouts have asked to use the building for an overnight event. Rippe
stated that he is concerned with the liability for allowing this type of event. Rippe will let them
know that the building is not able to accommodate them at this time.
Regarding flag day on June 14, 1998, Dennis reported that the DAV have donated the U.S. flag,
and Craig White has the POW flag.
Rippe asked for suggestions or ideas for the 4th of July celebration. It was reported that the
grounds will be used but not the building. It was suggested that the commission will be better
prepared to organize a 4th of July event next year.
Rippe stated that he would like to invite the news media to the June meeting so that they can see
what the commission is doing. Rippe also suggested that the commission send letters of thanks
for donations and a letter of introduction to all organizations. The letters will be sent as soon as
the commission's letterhead is printed.
The following committee reports were given.
Building& Grounds Committee. Moore reported that the city's Building Maintenance apologizes
that the work on Memorial Hall has not progressed as quickly as hoped. It was necessary to halt
the upper level plaster repairs until the roof could be replaced. The plaster repair as originally bid
proved to be insufficient once the entire old ceiling was exposed. The city contracted to have the
entire ceiling in the East Wing and Central Room veneered with sheetrock. The East Wing ceiling
repair has been completed and is now ready to be painted. The air conditioner has been
purchased and city staff is developing an installation layout to integrate this update with the
interior aesthetic of the building. A quote has been requested for tuckpointing the exterior of the
building. Once funding procedures and availability have been determined, the work can be
scheduled. City staff has met with the ADA Commission requesting funding assistance with the
installation of an elevator and full ADA compliance for the building. City staff has suggested that
the commission name the individual rooms in the building to allow easy identification for
maintenance purpose. Suggestions for naming the rooms: by organization, branches of the
services and wars/conflicts. Moved by Bartels, seconded by Miller to table naming the rooms
until the next meeting. Ayes: Nine. Absent: White, Fulks, Eastman, Beu. Motion carried.

Rippe stated that there are enough windows in the building to have a window named for each
organization. We could commission someone to do stain glass windows with the name of the
organization. Bartels reported that Nielsen Pest Control will do a monthly insect control program
at a cost of $20 per month. Moore stated that Black Hawk County will continue doing it for
nothing on an as-needed basis. Rippe instructed the Operations Committee to make a
recommendation on the insect control program.
Education/Historical Committee. Lorraine Ihnen reported that 150 artifacts have been cleaned
and inventoried. Groups have been helping to move items. Ihnen stated that we need to keep
track of in-kind donations. Rippe requested that Ihnen submit a written summary for each
month's meeting. Ihnen reported that the commission has been offered a glass exhibit case with
lighting for $350.00. Rippe suggested Ihnen make an offer of $200.00. Moved by Dorothy
Billman, seconded by Miller that Ihnen be authorized to offer $200 for the glass exhibit case with
lighting. Ayes: Nine. Absent: White, Fulks, Eastman, Beu. Motion carried.
Discussion was heard on the pig roast for June 12, 1998. The only cost for the commission will
be purchase of tickets and additional food and drink. It was agreed that it is a great idea but a lot
of work to be completed by June 12, 1998 to have a successful event. Moved by Wayne Billman,
seconded by Miller to sponsor the pig roast for June 12, 1998.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Moore suggested having the National Guard display its helicopter and display a city fire truck.
Wayne Billman agreed to be the event leader. After further discussion, it was moved by Wayne
Billman, seconded by Clemens to withdraw their motion. Ayes: Nine. Absent: White, Fulks,
Eastman, Beu. Motion carried.

VETERANS MEMORIAL HALL COMMISSION
April 22, 1998
5:00 p.m.
Veterans Memorial Hall
Members present: Randy Miller, Craig White, Bill Bartels, Michael Dennis, Elaine Clemens,
Norman Beu, Ray Moore.
Members absent: Tim Rippe, Harold Fulks, Wayne Billman, Stan Eastman, Lloyd Faulkner,
Dorothy Billman.
Also present: Mayor Rooff, Lorraine Ihnen, Marcia Courbat.
Vice Chairperson Randy Miller called the meeting to order.
Moved by White, seconded by Bartels that the Minutes of March 25, 1998, as proposed, be
approved. Ayes: Seven. Absent: Rippe, Fulks, Billman, Eastman, Faulkner, Billman. Motion
carried.
In the absence of Treasurer Faulkner, Vice Chairperson Miller gave the financial report. There is
currently $1,910 in donated funds. Wayne Billman presented a check to the City Clerk in the
amount of$83.96 from the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Moore stated that Lorraine's office door lock has been repaired and the bill sent to the City Clerk.
Eckert stated that she has not received the bill and will present it for payment at the next meeting.
Committee Reports were given.
There was no report from the Operations Committee.
Moore gave the Building and Grounds Committee Report. Moore stated that the Police
Department investigated the report of leaking ammunition in the cabinets on the second floor and
none was found. On April 1, Ryan Exterminating, Black Hawk County Health and Waterloo Fire
Rescue inspected the building and found no visual signs of wood destroying insects such as
carpenter ants or termites. On April 9, the Black Hawk County Health Department and Waterloo
Fire Rescue sprayed where ants were active. On April 14, they sprayed the entire lower level of
the building. They recommend a general control program to target ants, spiders and roaches.
The inspections and spraying was considered a courtesy inspection and spray. Ryan
Exterminating has submitted a bid of $32.00 per month for a monthly insect control program.
Bartels will investigate to see if someone else would do the spraying at a lower rate. Miller
suggested contacting the Grout Museum for their input on spraying for bugs.
Moore contacted Randy Shepard about installing a P.A. system before the ceiling repairs are
completed. Mr. Shepard advised that ceiling repairs can continue and that there will be no
problem installing the P.A. system after the ceiling repairs are completed. Moore stated that the
Red Cross contacted Don Ross and indicated they would like to use the building as a disaster
shelter. Miller questioned if we would want to allow organizations to use the building because of
the artifacts. The City Clerk stated that one of the issues to consider when allowing this type of
use is that the insurance liability exposure would increase. Beu stated that he will meet with the
Operations Committee and make a recommendation next month.
Education/Historical Committee Report. Dennis stated that the commission needs to establish the
ownership of the artifacts. Courbat stated that in order to obtain grants. the city cannot be an
owner. Ihnen stated that the Grout Museum does not want to have ownership. Community
Foundation could be given ownership. Miller stated that the commission does not want
ownership because of the insurance liability. The City Clerk suggested that Mary Ann Burk from
Community Foundation be contacted to see if she would be willing to speak to the commission
regarding ownership of the artifacts.
Veterans Memorial Hall
April 22, 1998
Page 2
Ihnen stated that she is working on a collection policy. Ihnen questioned what name is on the
deed for the building, and what would the commission have to do to change the name to Veterans
Memorial Hall. The City Clerk will ask the City Attorney for an opinion on the name issue.
Ihnen questioned the procedure for loaning out artifacts. She asked if the Education Committee
could make that decision.
Bartels/Clemens that any decision regarding loaning of artifacts be brought to the full commission
for approval.
Prior to a vote on the above motion the following comments were heard.
Moore stated that Ihnen should be given some latitude regarding loaning of artifacts since the
commission only meets monthly. Ihnen stated that she would like someone else to make the
decision. At the Grout Museum if the collection manager is approached, she goes to the director
and the director takes the request to the board. Miller suggested that the Education/Historic
Committee be given the authority to make those kind of decisions. Ross stated that 30 days is not
too long of time. Moore suggested that this commission should not operate any different than the
Grout Museum. Mayor Rooff stated that these types of requests should probably come back to
the commission. Clemens suggested putting a moratorium on loaning out anything at this time,
and that we should wait until we have completed cataloging.
Following discussion, a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes:
Seven. Absent: Rippe, Fulks, Billman, Eastman, Faulkner, Billman. Motion carried.
It was the consensus of the committee that nothing be loaned out until the inventory and
cataloging is completed.
Finance/Funding Raising Committee Report. Miller suggested that a decision needs to be made
regarding the picture for the Memorial Hall button and what to have printed on the button.
Courbat suggested having the buttons ready by the Memorial Day Parade. Mayor Rooff stated
that if the commission comes up with an idea, the city will find someone to take the picture.
Mayor Rooff suggested that the commission present the buttons at a city council meeting.
Moved by White, seconded by Dennis
that the Fundraising Committee be authorized to have photographs taken of the building and to
proceed with the Veterans Memorial Hall button. Ayes: Seven. Absent: Rippe, Fulks, Billman,
Eastman, Faulkner, Billman. Motion carried.
Dennis thanked Miller and Beu for their help in writing the Commission's By Laws and
Constitution. Chairperson Rippe needs to sign the document and then present to Mayor Rooff for
his signature. The City Clerk suggested that the By Laws and Constitution be signed at a council
meeting.
Miller stated that flowers should be planted to dress up the building for the summer. Mayor
Rooff suggested that the Parks Department be contacted for the flowers.
With no further business before the commission, it was moved by Bartels, seconded by White that
the meeting be adjourned at 6:00 p.m. Ayes: Seven. Absent: Rippe, Fulks, Billman, Eastman,
Faulkner, Billman. Motion carried.

Wayne Billman, Stan Eastman, Ira Kimm, Elaine Clemens, Dorothy Billman, Ray Moore.
Absent: Lloyd Faulkner, Norman Beu.
Also present: Mike Hahn, Billie Bailey, Loraine Ihnen.
Moved by Miller, seconded by Billman that the minutes of February 25, 1998, as proposed, be
approved. Ayes: Eleven. Absent: Beu. Motion carried.
In the absent of Treasurer Faulkner, Chairperson Rippe gave the financial report. There is
currently a total amount of$1,910.00 in donated funds. To date no expenditures have been made
from this fund. Chairperson Rippe questioned if the money is put into an interest bearing account.
City Clerk Nancy Eckert stated that the funds are put into the city's General Fund and collect
interest along with other city funds.
There was no report from the Operations Committee. Chairperson Rippe noted that the
Operations Committee was to contact Main Street Waterloo regarding the fireworks display.
Mike Dennis reported that he will attend the next meeting of Main Street Waterloo to find out
more information on the fireworks display that is being sponsored by Main Street Waterloo and
the Waterloo Jaycees. The Commission is interested in displaying fireworks on Veteran Memorial
Hall grounds. It was suggested that the use of Veterans Memorial Hall for Memorial Day on May
25, 1998 be coordinated with the Operations Committee. It is hoped that the construction on the
second floor will be completed by May 25, 1998. The commission should have an alternate plan
in case the second floor is not completed or in case of bad weather.
The Building & Grounds Committee report was given by Ray Moore. The original light fixtures
that were selected are not available and another model has been selected. Randy Shepard has
ordered fans. Ceiling repair has started. They will sheetrock first and then plaster, and the
hallway will be textured. Estimated cost is $5,500 to $6,000. There is a 10' x 20' part of the
roof that needs to be repaired. Mr. Shepard will get estimates to patch the flat part of the roof.
Water is leaking in the overhang. The gutters are full of tar from patching. The gutters will be
looked at the same time as the roof. The estimated cost to install an elevator is $40,000. ADA
funds will pay $28,000, but the city is investigating the possibility of ADA paying all the costs.
Specifications are being written for the fire escape.
Mike Hahn, Executive Director of Main Street Waterloo, questioned what are the total
improvements and when will they be completed. Moore stated that it is hoped the elevator and
second floor will be completed by Veterans Day. Moore continued that the roof will be repaired
and then they will look at installing the air conditioning. It was suggested that the air conditioning
be installed prior to the roof being repaired. The Building & Grounds Committee will review the
status of air conditioning for the building.
The Education/Historical report was given. The building is not accepting any additional artifacts,
memorabilia, etc., until categorizing what is already in the building is completed.
There was no Finance/Fundraising report.
It was suggested that as a fund-raiser, a Restoration of Memorial Hall button be sold for
Memorial Day and the 4th of July. The button could also be sold at the Grout Museum. Billman
will investigate. Chairperson Rippe will get together with Faulkner to set up fundraising.
Chairperson Rippe reported that Lorraine Ihnen has temporarily set up in an office downstairs.
Ihnen has collection policies that are utilized by the Grout Museum and UNI. Chairperson Rippe
requested that the Education/Historical Committee review the policies and have a
recommendation by the next commission meeting. Ihnen is attempting to identify and label some

budget in the amount of$2,000 for collections management/preservation materials. Billie Bailey,
Executive Director of the Grout Museum, stated that she has identified funds in the amount of
$1,000 that could be used for Memorial Hall. Grout Museum could accept the funds as restricted
for use by Memorial Hall Commission only, with $500 to be used for supplies and $500 for the
building.
Moved by Miller, seconded by Clemens that the Grout Museum accept the $1,000 donation as
restricted funds for Memorial Hall Commission. Ayes: Eleven. Absent: Beu. Motion carried.
Chairperson Rippe stated that the Commission will send a letter to thank them for the donation.
It was reported that there is rifle ammunition leaking in the cabinets on the second floor. There
are parade guns and blanks in one of the cabinets. Ihnen requested that the guns and blanks be
moved to another locked location. Chairperson Rippe stated that the commission needs to look at
the city code regarding storage of guns. It was suggested that the collection policy include a
statement that the commission will not accept any more live ammunition. Don Ross will contact
the Police Department to have them look at the guns and ammunition.
Ihnen reviewed the numbering system for the collection.
Chairperson Rippe stated that the commission will have to come to an agreement as to who will
own the collection. It could be the commission, the city or an organization. The storage and
security of the collection will be the responsibility of the commission. Bailey stated that a long-
term loan would work. Chairperson Rippe stated that the commission could develop a policy that
the existing collection belongs to the commission, and that organizations can use the building for
storage, but the commission will have authority to say who can store material and who will have
access to donations.
Ihnen suggested breaking down the collections management/preservation materials budget into
smaller amounts in order to solicit donations. Maybe individual groups will donate funds for
supplies. Miller suggested that the commission donate $800 of their funds for the supplies.
Moved by Miller, seconded by Billman that the commission allocate $788 for the purchase of
preservation materials. Ihnen will submit receipts/invoices to the commission. Ayes: Eleven.
Absent: Beu. Motion carried.
Chairperson Rippe stated that Ihnen is trying to access all cabinet keys and then restricting the
keys to only select persons.
Moved by Eastman, seconded by Billman to authorize the expenditure of funds for a key locker.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Chairperson Rippe stated that a key to the key locker be given to the Police and Fire Departments
and maintenance. The above motion was withdrawn to allow Ihnen time to review the size of key
box that will be needed.
Bartels stated that other organizations use the building, and that the commission should
investigate a PA system for indoor/outdoor use. Miller reported that they currently rent a system
at a cost of $150. This item was referred to the Building & Grounds Committee as well as
security for the windows and doors.
Dennis reviewed the revisions to the Memorial Hall Commission's Constitution and Bylaws.
Moved by Dorothy Billman, seconded by Clemens to approve and accept the Memorial Hall
Commission's Constitution and Bylaws. Ayes: Eleven. Absent: Beu. Motion carried.
It was suggested that the Constitution and Bylaws be presented to Mayor Rooff and City Council.

Citizen, Mike McGee, was present to discuss a Civil War Project he is currently working on.
Mr. McGee is working on compiling a list of veterans that were or are residents of Black Hawk
County when the war began or moved here after the war. He has incomplete information and
questioned if there is any information available for review. Dennis advised he had some
information available at home. Mr. McGee also questioned the availability of reviewing the
Civil War books that are currently inaccessible. Chairperson Rippe referred Mr. McGee to the
Education/Historical Committee and Ms. Bailey of the Grout Museum who is currently handling
the inventory and catalog of all the artifacts. Mr. McGee advised he has no deadline and thanked
the commission for their assistance.
In the absence of Treasurer Faulkner, Chairperson Rippe gave the financial report. There is
currently a total of$1,910.00 in donated funds. No expenditures have been made from this fund.
There will be future costs for building repairs which will be paid from city funds rather than the
donated fund. Miller questioned if these funds are put into an interest bearing account.
Chairperson Rippe stated most funds are in interest bearing accounts, but he will check into this
and provide an answer this next month.
Miller received a letter regarding the fireworks display held on the east side of the river and
noticed other veteran associations were involved. Main Street Waterloo and Jaycees were listed
on the flyer with Cindy Wells and Chris Davis as Chairs for the committee. A meeting has been
scheduled for March 12, 1998 at 5:15 p.m. Miller stated that he would like to incorporate the
Memorial Hall into these celebrations to obtain some public relations for the Hall. Some
possible options would be to put up lighted fence and allow community access during these
celebrations. Chairperson Rippe stated this would be a good idea to increase visibility and public
relations, and referred this to the Operations Committee to contact Main Street Waterloo or
Jaycees to find out what is needed for involvement in the celebrations.
Chairperson Rippe referred to the Memorial Day. Dennis indicated a meeting will be called by
March 25, 1998. Bartels advised he would handle. Chairperson Rippe referred this to the
Operations Committee to keep track of scheduling since there is no involvement as a
Commission in the planning.
Chairperson Rippe requested all future agendas include the category "Committee Reports".
Moore stated the Building Restoration Committee net February 12, 1998 and set goals to restore
the building to its original state as much as practical which includes painting, plastering, lighting,
windows, wood work, and install lift elevator. The minutes from the February 12, 1998 meeting
was distributed. One goal is to have the second floor finished by Veterans Day on November 11,
1998. Chairperson Rippe questioned any discussions on outside work to the grounds. Moore
indicated there is a lot of work to be done. The first item for discussion is the light pole directly
in front of the building which creates a major distraction. A brief discussion was also held
regarding tuckpointing the building. Chairperson Rippe questioned if the roof was repaired.
Moore stated yes, however, a new leak has been found in the overhang.
