November 5, 1984
Mayor's Conference Room
6:30 p.m.
Members present: Chairman Dowie, Klinger, Getty.
It was moved by Getty, seconded by Klinger that the agenda as amended
be approved. Motion carried.
Chairman Dowie reported that the garbage exemption for low income
persons for Calendar Year 1985 had been deferred from the previous
finance meeting of October 22, 1984. Since that time, additional
information has been provided relating to the poverty level for Black
Hawk County. Michelle Temeyer, Deputy Clerk/Auditor, stated that
although her office did not have a recommendation on the level that
should be established, the City could possibly experience many
additional applications. During calendar year 1984 approximately
1200 households were exempted due to low income guidelines. Monies
that would not be received from the City due to exemptions would
lower the garbage revenue to the Street Department with the
difference gained through tax levy. It was moved by Getty, seconded
by Klinger that the 1985 garbage exemption for low income persons be
set at $7,000 per household, regardless of family size. Motion
carried.
The following bids were reviewed for the purchase of a backhoe loader
for the Street Department:
Bidder New Used Used Hours
Case Power and Equipment $350 $27,950 500
Swaney Equipment Co. 37,198 26,585 650
It was moved by Getty, seconded by Klinger that the recommendation of
the Street Department to accept the low bid of Swaney Equipment
Conipany together with recommendation to enter a lease/purchase
agreement be approved. Motion carried.
It was moved by Klinger, seconded by Getty that the Police Department
be given the authorization to seek bids for Strobe Lights. Motion
carried.
Councilperson Wright, Chairperson of the Building and Grounds
Committee, reported that said committee was recommending to the
Finance Committee that bids be taken on the clean up of the Police
Training Center located on Elk Run Road. It was moved by Klinger,
seconded by Dowie that authorization be given to take bids on the
cleaning of the Police Training Center with Jim Rodemeyer in charge
of coordinating this project. Motion carried.
It was moved by Klinger, seconded by Getty that the following
requisitions be approved:
