Home My WebLink About1990 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE December 17, 1990 6: 15 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox, Dell and Angel. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. Eric Thorson, City Engineer, stated that residents along Gram Court, a private street generally located north of Ridgeway Avenue and east of Deere Road, have requested the construction of a sanitary sewer to serve approximately four residents in the area. Due to septic tank failure, the City Engineering Department has met with adjacent property owners and prepared preliminary cost estimates. The entire cost of the project is estimated at $16,500 and would be born by adjacent property owners. If authorized by the Public Works Committee, the Engineering Department would proceed with preparing preliminary assessment notices, public hearing and necessary notices. Work could begin next construction year. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Angel that the Engineering Department be given authorization to proceed with the preliminary assessment proceedings for the construction of sanitary sewer for Gram Court. Motion carried. With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 6:25 p.m. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES December 10, , 1990 5: 45 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox, Dell and Angel. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. John Meyer, Public Works Director, requested that the Council consider a special make up day for Tuesday garbage collection customers on Monday, December 31st. Both Christmas Day and New Year's Day fall on Tuesday resulting in no garbage collection on those days for those customers. Secondly, Mr. Meyer asked that the Committee consider a special collection for Christmas trees on Wednesday, January 2nd through Tuesday, January 8th. Trees must be cut in four foot sections and have all metal and plastic removed. Individuals who wish to depose of their tree at a time other than this special pick up, may deposit them at a Christmas tree drop off bin located near the intersection of W. 13th and Black Hawk Streets. The bin will be available following and through the month of January. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that a special garbage collection day be initiated on Monday, December 31st for Tuesday garbage customers and that the special collection for Christmas trees be approved for the week of January 2nd through January 8th. Motion carried. Eric Thorson, City Engineer, presented a proposed agreement with Brice, Petrides-Donohue for inspection of city bridges. Special attention was given to the cost of the contract which is estimated not to exceed $32 ,000. This is considerably more than in the past due to new federal requirements requiring underground review of the bridge structure and special record keeping greatly increasing the cost of inspection. Bridge inspection is required every other year to qualify for federal funding. Federal funds are expected for repair of the Shaulis Bridge near West Fourth Street and failure to comply with federal rules could jeopardize these funds. Chairperson Fox asked why such a contract was not competitively bid. Mr. Thorson responded by stating that Brice, Petrides-Donohue is the only local firm capable of handling such a project. All others would have to contract out such a project. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Angel that the Public Works Committee recommend to the Council that said contract be approved. Motion carried. At 5: 57 p.m. , a short recess was taken since the printed Agenda stated that discussion on changes to the East Park Avenue Ramp would be begin at 6: 00 p.m. At 6 :05 p.m. , Chairperson Fox reconvened the Public Works Committee with all members present. Larry P. Burger, Clerk/Auditor, presented several changes to the East Park Avenue Parking Ramp facility including the elimination of ramp attendant services, conversion of several non-reserved areas to reserved areas, and the installation of parking meters.

Member absent: Dell. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. John Meyer, Public Works Director, presented an amended Wastewater Treatment Agreement and Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit with Eagle Tanning Company. The original agreement signed with the Tannery anticipated wastewater flows of approximately 2 million gallons per day. After initiation of water conservation measures, the concentration of their waste water to the Water Pollution Control Plant was increased but the discharge did not increase total or mass flow to the facility. After a review by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the Department requested that the Tannery bring their discharge into compliance with the original license or alter the agreement to reflect the current loads. The proposed agreement concludes on and off negotiations with the company for the last 18 months. (The exact changes of the document are contained in Mr. Meyer's cover letter to the Mayor and City Council dated November 15, 1990, a copy of which is on file in the office of the Clerk/Auditor) . It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the Public Works Committee recommend to the Council that said amended agreement be approved. Motion carried. John Meyer, Public Works Director, presented street lighting plans for Pinnacle Place and Tower Park Subdivisions, both recently platted areas in the City. It has been the City' s policy in the past to provide street lighting at City cost as long as the desired lighting is of a standard nature. The lights are then owned and provided by IPS with the City paying a flat monthly rate for energy and maintenance services. The street lights within Pinnacle Place are in accordance with this policy; however, Tower Park Subdivision is of a different nature. The developer has expressed an interest to provide uniform street lighting and a more attractive style than is provided by IPS on a standard basis. Mr. Meyer explained that the City has negotiated with the developer and is recommending that the City participate by sharing the cost of the poles and fixtures and providing for the installation and maintenance including the cost of energy. Initial purchase cost would be $4,161 with funds available in the Traffic Operations budget. The energy only lighting rate provided to the City is considerably less than the flat rate established by IPS if IPS owns and cares for the lights. The anticipated energy cost for these lights is approximately $4. 00 per month. In contrast, if IPS owns and cares for the lights, the monthly rate is $23 per month. The City would realize a considerable monthly savings even with accepting part of the purchase and installation cost. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the Public Works Committee recommend to the City Council the standard street lighting policy for Pinnacle Place and the cost sharing proposal presented for Tower Park Subdivision.

Members absent: Chairperson Fox. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. The proposed agreement with Hope M. Anderson for use of a lift station and holding tanks at the intersection of San Marnan Drive and Kimball Avenue was reviewed. The agreement allows Mr. Anderson the temporary use of the holding tank at this location and requires that he share in the cost of the lift station as the property is developed. He will also be required to pay his share of the force main that will eventually be built to accommodate develop within the area from the lift station east of Hammond Avenue along San Marnan Drive. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the Public Works Committee recommend that the Council approve said agreement at its next regularly scheduled meeting on November 19, 1990. Motion carried. The next item of discussion was the proposed sewer rate increase. (This increase was considered by the City Council on its first reading on November 5, 1990) . Discussion was heard on the proposed uses of the sewer revenues and the upcoming bond sale. Mr. Meyer provided a graphic representation of the sewer system of the near west side and indicated the importance of the completion of the intercity interceptor. With its completion, many over flow problems in the west side of the downtown area and the Elmwood Cemetery would be relieved. Even with the completion of the intercity interceptor, the City has not yet programmed any sewer improvements in the west central portion of the community which would greatly relieve problems in Councilperson Angel' s ward. Mr. Meyer stated that the current Phase I improvements of the plant are part of a total plant upgrade totaling $18 million. Phase I totaling $5 million will allow for additional industry. Sewer capacity greatly affects economic development both for expansion of existing industry and proposed new industry to the community. Many times, sewer capacity is a determining factor for locating industry in the community, including Koehring Manufacturing. The financial status of the sewer rental fund was reviewed. Mr. Meyer reported that the bond covenants require that the City produce revenue which is 20 percent greater than its expenses. If the Council were to approve a three-year rate structure, the bonds could be more attractive to bond investors. Our bond rating could also be favorably affected by such a schedule. Mr. Meyer reported that currently IBP is paying $38,000 per month in sewer rental charges. At maximum capacity, it is anticipated that they will pay $42,000 - $44,000 per month. Together with the Tannery's annual proceeds of $460,000, both industry' s revenues contribute to the operational cost of the plant. It was pointed out that without the payments of IBP and the Tannery, everyone in the community would have to pay for Phase I improvements of the plant. This has considerably lowered the rate the citizens could be paying for sewer charges. Mr. Meyer also pointed out that there are no federal monies to finance plant improvements as has • 1o4Tpny/xzaT3 '4TD gab zng •a /U rI 'w'd Tc :s gE pauanocpE sEM buTgaaw alp 'aaggTunuo3 aqg aio;aq ssauTsnq .zagg.zn; ou t TM '066T '6T zaquianoN uo TTouno3 'gT3 aqg Aq paiaptsuoo aq TTTM asEa1ouT agEJ iaMas aqg Jo buTpEa.z puooas aqs •aaggTunuop aqg Aq uaxEg SEM uOTgOE TETOTJJo ON •gsEd s.xEaA uT asEZ alp uaaq Z abEd 066T ' ET .zagwanoN sagnuTW aaggTunuop sx.zoM oTTgnd PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES November 5, 1990 5: 30 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Dell and Angel. Members absent: Chairperson Fox. The meeting was called to order by acting Councilperson Dell. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. Discussion was heard on the request of the African American Historical Association to forgive sidewalk repair assessments for property located at 902 Logan Avenue. The Dunsmore House, the oldest residence in the City, is located at this address. The total assessment cost is $525. 42. It was the recommendation of the City Engineer that said request be denied. He reported that 19 other non-profit organizations were assessed for sidewalk assessments totalling $15,000. He also stated that like other property owners, this group was given on opportunity to make the repairs themselves to avoid the assessment. He also stated that this assessment can be paid over a seven year period thus relieving the burden over a period of time. A dangerous precedent may also be set if said assessment was forgiven. Councilperson Dell stated that the City has done very 1 ; ie to assist in preserving this home and this specific case. should be evaluated rather than lumping all non-profit organizations together. Bob Stevenson, City Planner, reported that the Historical Preservation Commission the City has been working with this group to make an application for REAP funding through the State of Iowa. To date, an application has not yet been filed. Staff will assist in technical expertise as needed. Councilperson Wright also expressed her willingness to assist the organi.71Li.on with the assessment. Mayor McKinley suggested the possibility of forgiving the first year's installment to allow the organization an opportunity to get on its feet. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Angel that the Public Works Committee recommend to the Council that the first year's sidewalk installment for 902 Logan Avenue be cancelled and that City Staff continue to work on a REAP application for submission to the State of Iowa for funding for revitalization. Motion carried. Discussion was heard on proposed amendments to the City's definition of yard waste. Based upon comments from business owners of flower shops, greenhouses, hospitals, churches, funeral homes and others, the Public Works Director recommended a change in the definition to more closely align with the recently adopted rules of the Solid Waste Commission and regulations imposed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Mr. Meyer recommended that yard waste not include such items as flower and decorative products, manufactured or fabricated, or the waste by-product incidental to their manufacturer or fabrication, which include organic materials and other non-organic waste, which is not practically separable. This exemption would include such items as flower arrangements, decorated plotted plants, wreaths, bouquets, garlands and small bedding flats. With this exemption, these items could be disposed of as a • • • • • • • A • zogTpny/xzaT3 AgTD zabzng •d Aaapq '111'd OS :S 4E pauznocpe SEM 5UT4aaut agq.

Members absent: Dell. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. John Meyer, Public Works Director, presented a sewer rate proportionality analysis separating the costs of operation and debt service for residential and commercial/industrial users. Based upon this analysis, business and industry are paying more than their "share" of operational costs. It has been the policy of the City of Waterloo that the cost of the interceptor and sewer improvements be funded through the monthly minimum which mostly affects the residential classification. Two alternatives for exemptions were provided including a total rate freeze for incomes of $10,000 or less. The second was a proportionality rate freeze with incomes of less than $7,000 having a total freeze on any increase. A graduated scale similar to the garbage exemption schedule was proposed for incomes between $7,000 and $10,000 per year. The cost to each non-exempt residential customer for the proportionate rate freeze would be approximately 10 cents per month. The total freeze for incomes of $10,000 or less would result in a monthly cost of approximately 12 cents per month for all other users. Mr. Meyer also presented a water and sewer rate comparison for nine other Iowa cities as of September 1989. At that time, Waterloo ranked eighth in the combined cost of sewer and water charges. Even with the proposed increase, the City would be approximately in the middle of the rate schedule as of September 1989. Mr. Meyer provided a brief overview of the use of proposed 1991 bond proceeds in the amount of $4, 125, 000. Discussion was heard on the affects of the proposed increase on the low income. Both Councilpersons Angel and Wright expressed their concern for such an increase and suggested that perhaps other funding alternatives are available to the City. Staff reported that neither state or federal funds are available for the operation of sewer plants and therefore the only source of income is revenue derived from the users. Mr. Meyer stated that the Committee should consider two actions including one relating to the proposed exemptions schedule and the proposed three year sewer increase schedule. The increases would be $1.85 per month effective January, 1991, a $1. 00 increase in the monthly minimum in January, 1992, and a monthly minimum increase of $1. 50 in January, 1993 . It was reported that if the ordinance approving each of the year's increase was approved, City staff could review with the Council the sewer fund and the need for the increase prior to its effective date. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the graduated scale for low income persons be approved. Motion carried.

It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. Larry P. Burger, Clerk/Auditor, presented changes to the East Park Avenue Ramp facilities and outlined them as follows. The most significant change will be the elimination of the attendants from the ramp. Currently cash receipts total approximately $15 - $40 per day are collected. The majority of the ramp users are monthly parkers that use a card to gain entrance. This would provide a savings to the City of approximately $30,000 annually. A second change would be to convert several of the non-reserved areas to reserved parking. Currently the waiting list, which consists of 34 patrons, would most likely fill the reserved areas. It is proposed that stall numbers 63 to 99 be increased to $40 per month. This would be a $5 increase from other reserved spaces in the ramp. This price is based upon the proximity to the elevator and the Chicago Central Building. This change would require an ordinance amendment of the City Council. As pressure on the ramp continues to occur as businesses occupy the Chicago Central Building, additional reserved parking is anticipated. Fourteen meters would be installed along the top deck near the elevator for customer parking. The proposed meter rate would be 25 cents per hour. The rate would be high enough to discourage long-term parkers. Councilperson Fox suggested that without personnel in the booth, the City may want to consider the installation of telephones as an added measure of security. After discussion, it was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that authorization to proceed with the plan be approved, together with a recommendation of approval to the City Council for a change in the reserved rate for stall numbers 63 to 99 to $40 per month. Motion carried. With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 6: 18 p.m. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES October 15, 1990 5 : 30 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox, Dell. Members absent: Angel. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Fox that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. Bob Stevenson, City Planner, presented the design for the extension of the east bound left turn bay on University Avenue at its intersection with Falls Avenue to alleviate accidents associated with this intersection. The City will let the construction project but the State of Iowa will be funding the project through Safety Improvements Programming Cycle Funding. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Fox that the Public Works Committee recommend to the City Council that authorization be given to proceed with said improvement at the intersection of Falls and University Avenues. Motion carried. John Meyer, Public Works Director, presented an analysis and summary of construction projects funded with sewer revenues and bonds over the next three years. Projects committed or underway during Fiscal Year 1991 include the following: 1 . Phase I-Step I@ Plant--Project balance July 1, 1990 $ 110,000 2 . Phase I-Step II@ Plant 1, 597 ,000 3 . Belt Press Acquisition 350,000 4. Belt Press Installation 520, 000 5. IBP Pretreatment 485, 000 6 . Koehring Sewer 15, 000 SUB TOTAL $3 ,077,000 Funds are available for these projects through previous bond sales and cash balances. The proposed 1992 issuance is $3 . 5 million and $5. 2 million in 1993 . In order to complete the Riverfront Interceptor that has previously been committed, it is the recommendation of the Public Works Director that we finance the next phase of the project which would extend from the treatment plant across Mitchell Avenue Sand Pits and Riverview areas to the intersection of 18th and Commercial Street at an approximate cost of $3 . 7 million. This would leave the final leg of the project located between the 18th and Commercial Street areas and 7th Street for Fiscal Year 1993 . At the current time, the City is not receiving any benefits of the Interceptor project since a complete connection has not been constructed. It has been the City' s policy that any costs associated with capacity and flow be financed with volume (useage) charges which most generally taxes business and industry because of the high volume usage. Additionally, the monthly minimum charge which most generally affects residential uses has been used to finance the interceptor project. It was pointed out that both IBP and the Tannery revenues are producing the anticipated revenues for treatment plant expansion. Mr. Meyer asked the Committee to consider whether or not they wish to accelerate the interceptor project and gain the full benefit or phase it over a longer period of time. • 104TPny/410TO AgT0 zabzng •d Az.E7 •paTzzpo uoTgoW •pouzno[pp eq buTgeaw aq4 gpgq xod Aq papuooas 'TTaa Aq panow sEM qT 'oe;;Twwoj alp azo;aq ssauTsnq zagpzn; ou ggTM •buTgaaw gxau SqT TE aag4TwwoD °tn.

Members absent: Angel. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Fox that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. The request of Power Engineering to change the time limit for parking in the 700 block of Sycamore Street was discussed. Public Works Director John Meyer explained that the proposed change would relocate the existing four-hour meters adjacent to the vacant lot formerly occupied by the Ellis Hotel to the street frontage along Power Engineering and put the 10-hour spaces at the Ellis Hotel frontage. The current 10-hour spaces adjacent to Power Engineer do not adequately serve their cliental since most often they are occupied by the long-term parkers. The change will accommodate both short and long-term parkers. It was the recommendation of the Public Works Director that said resolution be approved and presented to the City Council for adoption. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Fox that the request of Power Engineering be referred to the City Council with a recommendation of approval. Motion carried. Proposed improvements to the Fereday Curve located on Broadway Street between Parker and Kern Streets was reviewed. Don Temeyer, Planning and Development Director, reported that the Iowa Department of Transportation staff has recommended to the Commission to include improvements to this roadway in the current Safety Improvement Program funding cycle. The City staff is recommending that this project be included in the next round of funding (with the installation of a 42-inch concrete median barrier) . Residents of the area were present to voice their opposition to the installation of a concrete median barrier. Mayor McKinley stated that since the State of Iowa has recognized it as a safety hazard, it is incumbent upon the Council to take the necessary corrective action. Discussion was heard concerning the speed limit, signage, and the need for an alternative to the barrier. Councilperson Dell stated that he did not agree with the construction of a barrier but stated that the City has no choice but to follow the State ' s recommendation to make the necessary improvements. Moved by Dell, seconded by Fox that the Committee recommend to the City Council approval of said application for highway Safety Improvement Funds for the Fereday Curve. Motion carried. Councilperson Dell urged the City to seek funding for a permanent solution to the Fereday Curve which would be purchasing the homes and straightening the curve out. A petition was presented by Nancy Henderson, 718 Black Hawk Road, representing school bus drivers asking that the City Council consider allowing school buses to be parked on residential streets. Ms. Henderson explained that buses are stored in the evenings and on the weekends at the bus garage • • • • • • • • • zogTpny/xzaTD A4TO zabzng •d Az1Erj •pauznocpe sem buTpaaui 'as-44tunuoO ogq. azo;aq ssauTsnq ou ggTM •paTzzeo uoT4ow •sAEpxaaM 'w'd OE : E puE •uI•E 00 :6 uaaMgaq sgeazgs TET4uapTsaz uo sasnq Toogos go buTxzed agq buTMoTTe aoueuTpzo UP TTounoO agq oq puaunuooaz aaT3TunuoO agn gE'n xo3 Aq papuooas 'TTaa Aq panow SEM JT 'uoTssnoszp zag3V • s4aazgs AgTO uo paMoTTP aq pTnogs sasnq Toogos gemq sznoq agq. buTuzaouoo pxxaq sEM uoTssnosTc •s4uasazd qT spzezeg Agajes Tprq.ual.od alp. pup sgaazgs TETquapTsaz uo paxiEd azE 'sasnq sP gons 'satoTgan abzwj ua1M sq.uTPTdWoo panTaoaz suq aq 'uoTse000 uo pagegs 'zogoazTQ sxzoM oTTgnd 'zaAaw ugor •abpzeb snq alp oq gpzo3 pup )(peg snq alp buTuzngaz go 4soo pup aUITq awunuoo alp buTspazoap AT�pazb sq.aaz4s TPT;uapTsaz uT paxzed DIP sasnq 'asn uT qou DIE sasnq aqq uagM Aep aqp buTzna •abuezp uT abed 066T '8 zag0400 aa44Tunuo3 sxzoM oTTgna PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES September 24 , 1990 6: 15 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox, Dell, Angel. Moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the Agenda be approved, as proposed. Motion carried. Discussion was heard on providing a vehicle for the Citizens for Youth Achievement Program to be administered by Operation Threshold. John Meyer, Public Works Director, stated that Operation Threshold has approached his department requesting that the City provide the vehicle that was used by the Summer Youth Employment Program this past summer. Mr. Meyer stated that the vehicle is a high mileage vehicle in marginal condition, with an estimated value of less than $500 . He continued that the program is a City funded and operated program, and that he would recommend that the City donate said vehicle to the program so that the program can continue with a minimum of cost. Moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the proposal from the Public Work Director authorizing the donation of the vehicle used in the Summer Youth Employment Program be donated to Operation Threshold for use by the Citizens for Youth Achievement Program. Motion carried. With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor I . PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES September 17 , 1990 4 : 45 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox, Dell and Angel. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. The purpose of the committee meeting was to discuss the proposed fines and fees for parking meters. Larry P. Burger, Clerk/Auditor, reviewed his parking system financial summary which indicates that the proposed year end balance for the fund will be approximately $22,000. It was the recommendation of the Clerk/Auditor that the fine and fee schedule be as follows : Meter violation if paid within 24 hrs . (no change) $2.00 After 24 hours 6. 00 After 7 days 10. 00 Improper, restricted and prohibited parking 6 . 00 Restricted handicapped parking 25 . 00 Overtime parking 6 . 00 Prohibited parking - snow removal 25. 00 In response to a question by Councilperson Dell, Mr. Burger reported that the increase in fines will begin to address the capital needs that are currently not funded. Mr. Burger stated that there is pressure for the City to consider the expansion of the Park Avenue Ramp. The City is also contemplating the resurfacing of Lots No. 5, 7, 8 and 11 . He also reported that the funds generated in the TIF (Tax Improvement Fund) services the current debt of existing improvements in the downtown area. In the next three years, we can expect that the tax funds generated will service a larger debt, including parking improvements. Councilperson Dell asked what the affect would be of removing meters. John Meyer, Public Works Director, stated that in cities comparable to the size of Waterloo such efforts have been unsuccessful. Without meters, the issue of enforcement becomes paramount. Councilperson Wright stated that any increases in meter fines or fees will deter future development of the downtown. Dave VanDee, representing the Waterloo Redevelopment Authority, stated that they encourage the City to delay any increases in on-street meter fees. With the highway construction in the downtown area, the time for an increase is not now. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the above described fee structure as recommended by the Clerk/Auditor be forwarded to the City Council with a recommendation of approval. Motion carried. This item will appear on the City Council agenda in the form of an ordinance on September 24, 1990. With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES September 10, 1990 5 : 45 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox, Dell and Angel. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the Agenda, as proposed be approved. Motion carried. Larry P. Burger, Clerk/Auditor, provided a brief overview of policies for parking hoods and parking enforcement scooters. It was suggested that the general usage portion of the scooter policy be clarified. Item No. 5 indicates that the scooter may be used for miscellaneous occasions when requested by the supervisor. This was amended to indicate usage for job related occasions only. Discussion was heard on the policy for parking hoods. Two amendments were proposed including the increase of the monthly fee for the use of a hood from $15 to $20 . It was also suggested that the usage of parking hoods be restricted to short-time use. A patron will not be allowed to purchase a hood for long-term parking and/or convenience near his/her place of employment. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that said policies be amended and forwarded to the City Council with a recommendation of approval. Motion carried. Discussion was heard on increasing fines and fees for parking meters in the downtown area ( see Public Works Committee minutes of September 4 , 1990 ) . Larry P. Burger, Clerk/Auditor, provided information relating to the current fee schedule as well as fines and fees charged by comparable Iowa cities. It was the staff recommendation that meters be increased as follows: Meter violation if paid within 24 hours $ 3 . 00 After 24 hours 6 . 00 After 7 days 10 . 00 Improper, restricted and prohibited parking 6 . 00 Restricted handicapped parking 50 . 00 Overtime parking 6 . 00 Prohibited parking - snow removal 25 . 00 It was reported that many violators pay fines during the first 24 hours after receipt of the ticket. A brief description was provided relating to the types of fines and fees levied. Mr. Burger also reported that tokens are available to downtown merchants who may purchase them from the City and provide them to their customers. Councilperson Wright reported that she was against increasing the fee to $3 . It was moved by Dell that the schedule as proposed by the Clerk/Auditor be approved but that the initial violation remain at $2. Discussion followed. Councilperson Buck suggested that the $2 fine does not cover the cost of issuance. Discussion followed concerning the cost of meter enforcement vs. the revenues received. The Clerk/Auditor reported that this information could be made available to Committee members. The above motion was withdrawn from the table. It was then moved by Dell, seconded by Angel that further action on this item be delayed pending the receipt of information relating to the total parking fund. Motion carried. with no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor L PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES August 27, 1990 6 : 00 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox, Dell and Angel. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. Public Works Director John Meyer provided an overview of the publicity campaign being prepared by Schreurs & Associates relating to the soon to be implemented yard waste disposal program. The campaign includes the preparation of a brochure outlining the City' s plan for yard waste disposal. Various businesses are being solicited to off set its cost. The City will have a float in the upcoming Cattle Congress Parade featuring a new side loading garbage vehicle. Brochures will be handed out along the parade route. The City will have a booth in the Flower and. Garden Building at the Cattle Congress. Information on composting and the City' s yard waste program will be available. Various council members expressed an interest in the manning the booth. John Meyer will check into possible times. The issue of solid waste and the yard waste disposal deadline will be featured on Focal Point, a program on KWWL T.V. A sample of the billboards that will soon be appearing in the City were displayed. The message is "Thank you very mulch" . Outdoor Display is providing the space to the City for basically the cost of the paper. Two radio public service announcements were heard. Council members expressed some reservation with the second public service announcement. John Meyer may revise. Refrigerator magnets that will be distributed during Cattle Congress were discussed. This is thought to be perhaps the best means of education. The cost of the magnets are as follows: Printing of 10,000 -- $1,412 Printing of 15,000 -- $1,941 Printing of 20, 000 -- $2 ,353 The Committee gave their informal approval to purchase the magnets. No official action was taken on the above publicity campaign. Eric Thorson, City Engineer, presented a proposed list of streets to be included in the F.Y. 1991 Street Reconstruction Program. The staff ' s recommendations are as follows: Estimated Street From To Constr. Cost Crossroads Blvd. S.E. of Flammang S.E. of Bopp $575,750 Mitchell Avenue W.

It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the pricing of yard waste bags. John Meyer, Public Works Director, summarized his memo of August 9th detailing the cost of the yard waste disposal including labor, operation, disposal, bag cost, distribution, and equipment replacement. Estimating the number of bags that will be purchased by City residents, the estimated cost is $1. 12. It was Mr. Meyer' s recommendation that the wholesale price be set at $1 . 10 with a suggested retail price of $1. 20 plus tax. Depending on the number of bags purchased, the bag cost could range from $ . 43 per bag if 400,000 bags are purchased or as high as $ . 69 per bag if 250 , 000 bags are purchased. After the first year, the City will have a track record to determine whether the cost of the bags should be adjusted. After meeting with major retailers in the area, Mr. Meyer reported that the suggested retail price should be approximately 10o higher than the wholesale cost. Some retailers indicated that they may sell the bags at a loss or give them away as a promotion. Goodwill. Industries will be the wholesaler of the bags and will distribute the bags to those businesses currently on their can and redemption route at a cost of 9 1/2 cents per bag. This distribution system would allow a wide coverage of the bags for Waterloo customers. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the Public Works Committee recommend that the suggested wholesale price of $1 . 10 be established and the suggested retail price be set at $1 . 20 plus tax. Motion carried. In response to a request from Councilperson Dell, the Transportation Program Manager presented an intersection analysis for Greenbrier Street and Woodmayr Street. The original request was to place stop signs at this intersection. After a review by the staff, it was recommended that yield signs be installed along Woodmayr and restrictive parking signs be installed on Greenbrier Street 215 feet back from the intersection. A detailed report was presented by City staff which outlined the proposed recommendation. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Angel that said intersection analysis be received and placed on file and that the recommendation to place yield signs along Woodmayr and to restrict parking on Greenbrier Street 215 feet back from the intersection be referred to the City Council for approval. Motion carried. With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES August 13 , 1990 5 : 30 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox. Members absent: Dell and Angel. A quorum of the Committee was not present but the following discussion was heard. No official action was taken by the Committee. John Meyer, Public Works Director, stated that Scott Franke, owner and operator of the Guardian Angel. Kennel had contacted him concerning contracting the Animal Control Department operation. Mr. Meyer referred to the proposal presented by Mr. Franke which indicated an approximate savings to the City of $4, 500 annually. A major topic of discussion was whether Mr. Franke would hire the existing Animal Control Officers. The City could realize an unemployment cost of $3 ,500 per employee; therefore, it would be three to four years before the City would realize the savings in contracting this service. He stated that at this time, he would recommend the City not consider contracting this service. Councilperson Wright questioned why this item was being brought before the Public Works Committee. Mr. Meyer reported that Mr. Franke approached him concerning his services and that the proposal was unsolicited on the part of the City. Scott Franke indicated that he had a very short time to prepare the proposal which explained why some of the cost information does not match with the existing budget of the Animal Control Department. Mr. Franke indicated that he hoped this was the beginning of a negotiation process with the City for this service. Councilperson Brown provided him with a copy of the current year budget. In response to a question from Councilperson Wright, Mr. Franke stated that the reason for wanting to take over this service for the City was to generate a profit for his company, control this service and save the City some money. Mr. Franke reported that he currently has two full-time employees and two part-time employees. If the existing Animal Control Officers were hired, they would not be required to become certified dog trainers. Mr. Franke questioned what the City requirements would be to take over this contract. The existing contract with the Black Hawk County Humane Society was discussed. Mr. Franke reported that he could either kennel the dogs or contract with the Humane Society. Buck now present at 5: 55 p.m. Mr. Franke presented a comparative analysis of the number of calls for service for both the City of Cedar Falls and the City of Waterloo. He reported that the City of Waterloo had approximately 4, 500 calls last year. Public Works Director John Meyer questioned why the City would want to lose control of this service at no apparent significant savings to the City. He urged the Committee to make a decision on the matter and not leave employees in the City hanging out on a limb. Councilperson Wright stated that she could not support contracting this service at the current time.

Members absent: Dell. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. The request of the Public Works Director for authorization to purchase four trailers for the storage of yard waste bags was reviewed. John Meyer, Public Works Director, stated that it was critical that the bags be stored in a dry, rodent proof enclosure which semi trailers would provide. The purchase of four said trailers at a total cost of $10, 000 from Don' s Truck Sales in Fairbank, Iowa, was recommended. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that authorization to purchase said trailers be recommended to the Finance Committee for approval. Motion carried.

Members absent: Dell. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the continuation of the courtesy parking in the 600 block of Sycamore Street. Terry Poe, Executive Director of the Downtown Council, stated that eleven of the thirty property owners had consented to renew their commitment to the courtesy parking. In addition to the adjacent merchants, several merchants including Walker Shoes, Glessner Jewelry and the Up Downtown Jazz Bar also consented to contributing to the cost. She also indicated that many others would sign if they would be assured that everyone would be required to pay their monthly fee. In addition, three merchants favored the installation of meters and two were simply "on the fence" . Brian Quirk, owner/operator of Prairie Rapids Crossing, stated that he had contacted ten merchants by letter requesting their support of continued courtesy parking. None of the ten signed the contract. Mr. Quirk reiterated his support of the existing parking situation. Councilperson Buck stated that many merchants have hard feelings due to the actions of some of the employees in the Public Defender' s office. He reported that he had witnessed employees removing the chalk marks placed by Parking Enforcement Officials and/or moving their vehicle to another location in the block. He stated that such action was uncalled for and suggested that enforcement action be taken accordingly against these individuals. Brian Quirk stated that enforcement in the area has been more than adequate. The real problem is with the "no-care" attitude of some of the merchants. He stated that this parking feature was a precious commodity and helped to promote the downtown area. It was suggested by some that installing meters will only continue the mis-use problem by some Public Defender employees. Councilperson Wright stated that the problem with the Public Defender employees should be addressed directly through the County since they are County employees and dealt with on a legal basis. Larry P. Burger, Clerk/Auditor, stated that the issue contains two distinct parts: ( 1) the actions of the Public Defender employees including wiping the tire marks, and ( 2) the financial issue. Mr. Burger reported that currently eight of the ten property owners in the block are paying $10 per month for the courtesy parking. If the program were expanded to include the thirty property owners at $12. 50 a month, the City would come closer to realizing the revenue lost without the meters. Mr . Quirk reported that the re-installation of the meters will definitely be a detriment to their business and that if the meters are installed, he will purchase tokens through the Downtown Council for his customers . zcmpny/xzaID 'qT3 zabzng •a Alapq • •pauznocpE SPM buTgaaw 'aa.4-4Twwo3 alp azo;aq ssauisnq zagging ou q;TM •paTziiO uoTgoW 'awT4 zaqui E 4E paMaTnaz puP panuTpuoo OCT buTxzed AS04znoO buTrsTxa aq4 gegq. puP buTxzPd Asa4znoo go abaTTATzd alp 1o1 aad 0I$ BEd oqM squegozaw uaq quazzno alp buTIITq aseao oq pagonzgsuT aq aoT3;o s , zo;Tpnw/xzaTD alp gpg4 XOZ Aq papuooas '106UV AC' panow SPM JT 'uoTssnosTp zaggy *pun; buTxzed alp oq sanuanaz uT as2azoap buTrrnsaz alp pup S4U011136uPzzE bUTxzed 1EZTUTS pagsanbaz squPgozaw zagpo 3T UzaOUOO passazdxa zabzng •zW •paTEnTPna AIl1130zPD aq pjnogs gsanbaz goEa 'sgaazgs uMoqutop TIP uo buTxzed aaz; apTnozd oq quEM qou p[noM A T3 ago gbnog4Tv •zawogsno alp XOJ saDTogo buTxzed go pETlAw P SP TTOM SE 5UTxzed aazj awns apnIOuT p1nogs PO1E uMoJuMop ago uT xTw buTxzed Ilezano @tn. 4E114 pagsabbns ag •xoolq alp oq ssauTsnq TTP431 buTgopl4gP uT TEquawnz1SUT uaaq SPg buTxzPd Asa4anOO alp .4Eg4 puE Pore alpuT quawdoTanap TTEqaz a;owozd puP abeznooua oq SEM bUTxzed !sagznoo aq4 go gua3uT TPUTbTIO ago gEg4 pagPgs JaogoaaTa quawdoTanaa pup buTuuEld 'zaIaway UOa Z abPd 066I ' EZ AInr SagnuTW aaJ-4Twwo3 sxzoM OTTgnd PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES June 28 , 1990 8 : 30 a.m. First Floor Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox, Dell and Angel. The purpose of the meeting was to follow up a previous Public Works meeting held on June 25, 1990, concerning specialized equipment to remove water from the Waste Water Treatment Sledge at the Water Pollution Control Plant. Bids have been received for this equipment and are being evaluated on a "first cost" and "life cycle" cost basis. Our consultant on the project, Brice, Petrides-Donohue Co. and the Public Works Director have been reviewing both bids and are now recommending that a "side-by-side" test be performed to verify their operational costs including the amount of chemical that is needed for the process. After discussion, Committee members felt: that such a test would best determine exact operating costs of the equipment. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that authorization be given to the Public Works Director to perform the "side-by-side" test on each of the units provided by Komline-Sanderson Engr. and Ashbrook-Simon-Hartley. Motion carried. A brief discussion was held concerning the bids that have been received for yard waste bags. John Meyer, Public Works Director, is receiving additional information from each of the suppliers that have provided bids with the results to be presented to the Public Works Committee on July 2nd. At that time a decision will be made on the company that will supply the bags. With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned. Larry P. Burger City Clerk./Auditor PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES July 2, 1990 6 : 00 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox, Dell and Angel. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. The purpose of the meeting was to update the City Council on the Linbud Lane paving project. Eric Thorson, City Engineer, provided background information concerning the progress over the last several years concerning this item. Property owners on the west side of Linbud Lane dedicated the necessary right-of-way and were assessed for the cost of the street improvement. The easterly 30 feet of right-of-way is owned by Max Guernsey and a larger portion by Orlis Smith. Mr. Guernsey has dedicated his portion of the right-of-way but the delay in the project has been the dedication of the right-of-way adjacent to Orlis Smith' s property. Hugh Field, City Attorney, stated that three agreements had been reached with Orlis Smith but each have resulted in no contractional agreement with Mr. Smith. Neighbors in the area have patiently waited for the paving of the easterly half of the street. The City may, in the interest of health, safety and welfare, condemn property for right-of-way. Mr. Thorson reported that the City has thus far expended $9,800 in out-of-pocket costs to the Linbud Lane project. After discussion, it was moved by Dell, seconded by Angel that a final formal offer be made to Mr. Smith for the purchase of his property for the paving of the easterly portion of Linbud Lane and that if the offer is rejected, the right-of-way be acquired through condemnation. Motion carried. Committee members were informed that each step of the process will be brought to the City Council for final review and disposition. With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor 1 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE June 25, 1990 6 : 15 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox, Angel . Members absent: Dell. The agenda, as proposed, was approved. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the bids received for specialized equipment used to remove water from the waste water treatment sludge at the Water Pollution Control Plant. Bids have been received from three companies including Komline-Sanderson Engr. and Ashbrook-Simon- Hartley. Each company submitted bids that were evaluated on the first cost and life cycle cost basis . The lowest first cost bid was submitted by Komline-Sanderson Engr. at approximately $314, 000. Their life cycle cost over a 20 year life span considering energy use and chemical addition is approximately $3 . 5 million. The bid submitted by Ashbrook-Simon-Hartley proposes an initial purchase price of $460 ,000 with a life cycle cost over a 20 year period of approximately $3 . 1 million. The difference in the cost is mainly due to the chemical additive. It has been the recommendation of the City' s consultant, Brice, Petrides-Donohue, that a side-by-side testing of both units be conducted to determine the actual operating costs including the chemical needed. It is necessary that the test be performed on site. The specifications note that if a decision could not be made without the side-by-side test, a credit would be applied to the initial purchase price. If the tests were run, this would result in a loss of approximately $20, 000 in purchase price credit. Discussion was heard concerning the feasibility of conducting the tests but no decision was made. It was concluded that action on this item be tabled to allow further review by members and allow Councilperson Dell to participate in the decision. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that action on this item be tabled to a future meeting to be announced and held during the week of June 25, 1990. Motion carried. With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES June 11, 1990 5 : 45 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox and Dell. Members absent: Angel. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Fox that the agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. Discussion was heard on the existing parking situation in the 600 block of Sycamore Street. This block, at the request of adjacent merchants, was designated as a "courtesy parking area" several years ago and the meters removed. Twelve adjacent merchants were assessed a fee of $10 per month to reimburse the City for lost revenue. A re-evaluation of the present system has resulted in several recommendations of the Clerk/Auditor including the need to re-install the parking meters. This recommendation is based on the time involved in enforcement of a two hour limit within the block and the lost revenue to the City. Currently, approximately $100 per month is collected. Projected revenue generated from the block could be approximately $400 per month based upon a survey of parking revenue generated in the 500 block of Sycamore Street. Cheryl Newton, representing Newton' s Jewelry Store, indicated her support for continuation of the current parking situation. She reported that this was a plus for customers and unique to the area. Brian Quirk, representing Prairie Rapids Crossing, also supported the continuation of the courtesy parking. Terry Poe, Executor Director of the Downtown Council, stated that only six property owners have agreed to renew their contract to pay the monthly charge of $12. 50 . She reported that the existing parking situation is a great public relations tool for the merchants. The $12 . 50 a month assessment was based upon the revenue the block should be generating divided by the number of businesses including the businesses in the First National Building. John Meyer, Public Works Director, summarized the financial condition of the parking fund including off-street and on-street facilities. End of the year projections will show an approximate $9 , 000 deficit. The parking fund is self-supporting and any excess revenues are used for improvements, including hard surfaced parking lots. Larry P. Burger, Clerk/Auditor, reiterated that the City could not continue to financially support the parking system within this block. Councilperson Dell supported the existing courtesy parking and stated his opposition to the re-installation of meters. Mayor McKinley urged merchants supporting the current concept to contact their adjacent merchants and solicit their support for continuation of the courtesy parking. Committee members agreed to extend an additional 30 days to the merchants to obtain the necessary support and report back to the Committee in thirty ( 30) days. The proposed financing of the West Sixth. Street Interstate Substitution Project was reviewed. The City of Waterloo is currently negotiating with the Iowa Department of Transportation to advance $2. 69 million for the construction 1o4Tpny/xzaT3 A4T3 zabzng •d AzLEZ •pauznoCpE SEM bU paaU age 'aaglTunuo3 alp azo;aq ssauTsnq zagpin; ou 1.14TM •paTzlEo u0T4oW •goaCozd gaaz4S ggxTS aqq ;o asEgd quawdoTanap uEoT agq. gvTM paaoozd oq uanTb aq uoTTEzTzoggnl gEgn xo3 Aq papuooas 'Ilea Aq panout sEM 41 •uEoT alp AEdaz 04 paau aqq TaouEo TTTM sTTE3 iEpaD LIT 8S '!H Pa4EooTaH PUP BIZ 'AH pa4EooTau uo IOQ age Aq PazTTEaz aq TTTM TEgp sbuTnes Sgsoo agq.

It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the Agenda, as amended to include discussion on the F.Y. 1991 Oiling Program, Contract No. 391, be approved. Motion carried. The recommendation of the Pavement Management Selection Committee for authorization to submit the firms of Carter and Associates and Infrastructure Management Services for proposals for a pavement management system was reviewed. Originally, 14 requests for proposals were submitted with seven proposals received back. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Angel that said request be approved and that authorization be given to commence contract negotiations with Carter and Associates for said project. Motion carried. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Angel that authorization be given to the Public Works Director to purchase a tractor to be used by the Operation Pride mowing crew from Case Power and Equipment in the amount of $12 , 000 . Motion carried. Several residents were present from the Hollywood area requesting that the City participate in one-half of the cost of oiling as presented in the F.Y. 1991 Oiling Program, Contract No. 391 . They cited excessive traffic to the baseball diamonds as a reason for their request. Much of the traffic and wear and tear on the street is due to this traffic flow. Residents also discussed the possibility of a secondary access from the Hollywood addition onto U.S. 63 . It was noted that an access was granted on U.S. 63 for Weissman Steel but that Weissman had paid for the study and the cost of the access. After discussion, it was moved by Dell, seconded by Angel that the Public Works Committee recommend that the City Council participate in one-half of the cost of oiling of Hollywood Avenue and that the City proceed to conduct a study for an alternative access into the Hollywood Addition from U.S. Hwy. 63 south. Motion carried . It was reported that due to the generosity of various businesses in the area, Wagner Road south of Hwy. 57 has been treated with calcium chloride which should address the dust problems in the area. With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned. Larry P.

It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. Authorization to seek bids for a system to contain and recirculate freon in automotive air conditioning system--Superintendent of Central Garage. Larry Cunningham, Superintendent of the Central Garage, stated that large amounts of freon are being lost from the City vehicles that have been junked or are in for repair. Based on environmental consideration and impending regulations regarding the control of freon he would ask the Public Works Committee to authorize him to seek bids on a system to contain and recirculate freon in automotive air conditioning systems. Cunningham stated that the estimated price is between $3 ,000 and $4,000. Moved by Angel, seconded by Fox to allow the Superintendent of the Central Garage to seek bids on a freon containment and recirculation system. Motion carried. With no other business before the Public Works Committee the meeting was adjourned. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor ♦ PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES May 14, 1990 6 : 00 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox, Dell. Members absent: Angel. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Fox that the agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. John Meyer, Public Works Director, presented a bid summary and evaluation sheet for bids received in conjunction with the Solid Waste Collection Services opened by the City Council on May 7th. After review, it was the recommendation of Public Works Director that the reorganization plan will provide the most economical form of garbage collection services for Waterloo citizens and therefore he recommended that the five bids be rejected. Bidders were thanked for their efforts put forth in presenting a bid and evaluating the bid documents. Chairperson Fox commended Mr. Meyer for the many hours spent in developing the reorganization plan. Steve Piper, representing Laborers Local #535, stated that the true winners in this process have been citizens of the City of Waterloo. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Fox that the Public Works Committee recommend that the City Council approve the reorganization plan and that all bids received for Solid Waste Collection Services be rejected and bidders notified accordingly. Motion carried. October 1st is the proposed start up date for yard waste collection. Authorization to purchase garbage trucks in connection with the reorganization of the Solid Waste Collection activity was reviewed. The plan would include the replacement of two existing vehicles, purchase four one-man side loading trucks and replace three existing packer units to be placed on existing truck chassis. Approximate cost of the budgeted expenditures is $600, 000 . This would include $150,000 in Fiscal Year 1990 and 1991 operating budgets and $100, 000 each of the next three years for the lease purchase of the garbage packer units. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Fox that authorization be given to purchase said equipment. Motion carried. Authorization to proceed with the bidding process for the purchase of yard waste disposal bags was discussed. It is estimated that approximately 250, 000 to 400, 000 bags per year will be needed for Waterloo residents. This is based upon yard waste generated last summer during the pilot program together with probable reduction in the waste stream due to individuals composting their own yard waste and transporting it to the landfill. The City will be undertaking a publicity campaign to encourage citizens to compost their yard waste and thus eliminating the need for the City to perform this service. Estimated costs of each bag to Waterloo citizens is $1 . 25 which includes a 30 cent per bag charge from the vendor, a 10 cent fee to Goodwill for distribution and 70 cents to the City for collection and 1 ao4TpnV/)[1OT3 A4Tp aabang •d AaaP2 •pauanoCpP SPM buTgaaw 'aaT;Twwop aqq aaojaq ssauTsnq aaggan; ou 1.1-4TM •agPbTgsanuT TTTM f3P4S A-4Tp •aPaddPaa oq buTuuTbaq aaP saPo xunC AUPu 'PaiP pPog (MPH NoPTg uT gPgq. pagP4s xong uosaadTTouno3 •uoTgPngTs aq4 a4PbT seAuT TTTM ao4oa1Ta sxaoM oTTgnd au •puwT4anop puP wTg go uoTgoasaaquT aqq. :P xunC go uoTgPTnumooe abaPT P bUTMOgs aan4OTd P paquasaad 'gaaags uosTpPW 617T 'axwa7 TTTH •sgoaCoad gaaags aaggo AuP puP APTaano 'uoTgonagsuooaa 'buTTTo buTpfTOUT UOSPOS UOT4011a4SUO0 aqq buTanp uajPgaapun buTaq sT 4Pq-4 xaoM gaaags Tip go SUOTgPOOT buTJPOTpuT dPw P aaPdaad ;;Pqs AqTD qPu� pagsabbns TTaa uosaadTTounO3 • 0661 ' 6Z APW 'APpsany uo squawssassP pasodoad auk buTuaaouoo TTounop AgTD aqq.

Members absent: Angel. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Fox that the agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. The 1990 Recycled Asphalt Paving Program which includes 21 blocks or approximately 1 . 3 miles of roadway in residential neighborhoods was reviewed. The RAP Program is used to surface existing oiled streets that have existing curb and gutter and fully developed storm sewer systems. The second criteria has been to restrict this pi ogr am to low and moderate income neighborhoods where an assessment program would create an undue hardship. This year' s program virtually completes all the streets that have existing curb and gutter and are unpaved and are in low-income neighborhoods. Other streets in the City are experiencing high maintenance costs and recycled asphalt would create a good driving surface but they are not located in low-income neighborhoods. Mr. Meyer asked that the Committee consider this for future years. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Fox that authorization be given to the Engineering Department to proceed with seeking bids to do the curb and gutter repairs and to authorize the Public Works Director to seek the necessary prices for liquid asphalt to complete said program. Motion carried. The property owners on Bellaire Road between Ridgeway Avenue and Midlothian Blvd. has requested the City to post the east side of Bellaire Road for two hour parking between the hours of 8 : 00 a.m. and 6 : 00 p.m. Currently the area is posted as "No Parking Anytime" . With the construction of Village inn Restaurant at:. the corner of Bellaire Road and Ridgeway Avenue, increased parking along Bellaire Road has been evident. Property owners are concerned that restaurant employees will use Bellaire Road and make parking for the residents unavailable thus the request for the two hour limit. If recommended by the Public Works Committee, adjacent commercial property owners will be advised when the Council reviews the Ordinance. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Fox that the Public Works Committee recommend that the City Council approve said request and that commercial property owners be advised of said impending parking change. Motion carried. City Staff has recently completed the before and after speed study to assess the effectiveness of speed-reduction measures on the "Fereday Curve" , which include the installation of two flashing beacons and reducing the speed limit from 45 mph to 35 mph from Grandview to West Parker Street. Alter completion of the study, it was noted that: changes in the average speed limit were not statistically different, however, a reduction in the upper speeds was noted,. It was the staff ' s recommendation that these speed reduction ii)easures be permanently adopted and that staff be instructed to continue with its application for funding for . il, • Ii ( I ( • )1 1.

John Meyer, Public Works Director, summarized his memo dated April 17, 1990, concerning dust control measures on Wagner Road from Broadway to the Greenbriar Addition. It was Mr. Meyer' s recommendation that adjacent property owners including the City of Waterloo and properties within the Greenbriar Addition who would benefit from dust control measures and share the cost of oiling. It was suggested that the various businesses adjacent to Wagner Road also be contacted for participation in cost sharing. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Angel that the Public Works Director be instructed to speak with adjacent property owners and businesses for participation in an assessment program for dust control measures on Wagner Road from Broadway to Greenbriar Addition. Motion carried. The award of contract on the F.Y. 1990 Street Reconstruction Program, Contract No. 384 was discussed. The purpose was to discuss the minority business participation for each of the contractors bidding on the job including Aspro, Inc. and Cedar Valley Corporation. The City has a 5% minority participation and 1% female business participation for City contract work but that it is a non-mandatory goal and relies on good faith efforts of the prime contractors. Originally, Aspro' s contract recorded a 5% minority business participation but after review by the Contract Compliance Officer and City legal staff , it included the proposed purchase of materials from an out-of-town firm that was brokered through the local minority firm, thus, reducing the minority participation to zero. After further review, a legitimate 3 . 1% of the work in Aspro' s contract was being sub-contracted to minorities. Rudy Jones, Contract Compliance Officer, stated that in the interest of the City and the project, he was reluctantly recommending that the bid be awarded to Aspro. Mayor McKinley stated that the City and contractor must develop a right attitude, work together and come to a solution for future contracts. Work on this contract is scheduled to commence in early May. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Angel that the Public Works Committee recommend to the Council award of said contract to the low bidder, Aspro, Inc. of Waterloo. Motion carried. Traffic signal improvements on Broadway Street between Cedar Bend and Conger Street were reviewed. The traffic signal warrant analysis for the intersection of Cedar Bend and Broadway Street was also completed and concludes that the signal at Cedar Bend and Broadway is warranted and should iemain.

Also present: Mayor McKinley and Buck. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. City Engineer Eric Thorson presented an amendment to the City Sidewalk Ordinance in response to an earlier discussion at a Public Works Committee meeting. At that time it was urged that if a permit was not taken out and the sidewalk work was completed, a penalty should be imposed. It was the recommendation of the City Engineer that Section 33-71 . 4 be amended to include a penalty or fee of $50 . Committee members expressed that this penalty was too high. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the Public Works Committee recommend that the City Attorney prepare an ordinance to reflect a penalty or fee of $25 in the event that a property owner completes the sidewalk work without a permit. Motion carried. John Meyer, Public Works Director, updated the Committee on the pre-bid conference held on April 13, 1990, concerning the contract documents for the collection of solid waste. Three issues were discussed including the amount of the bid bond and performance bond, insurance coverage, and scheduling and routing. Currently, the contract documents require a $750 , 000 performance bond, a $100, 000 bid bond, $5 million umbrella insurance policy and a four day per week scheduling and route schedule. After discussion at the pre-bid conference, it was the recommendation of the Public Works Director that alternative bids be allowed which would require the contractor to choose his own routing and pickup schedule and add an additional alternate to reduce the performance bond to $300, 000 and the liability insurance coverage to a $1 million umbrella. It was also recommended that the bid opening be delayed until May 7th to allow the bidders additional time to evaluate the alternatives. Chairperson Fox indicated that the pre-bid conference allowed for good discussion between bidders and the City. John Meyer indicated that the City would be meeting with the bargaining unit on April 17th to discuss the privatization. The problem remains of those employees who will not be qualified for any City job or a job with a private contractor. If the action as recommended is approved by the Public Works Committee, the City Council will be asked to approve the revised specifications and delay bid opening until May 7th. IL way moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the proposed addendum to t.iv Solid Waste Collection Services Contract be approved as proposed.

The agenda was amended to include discussion on dust control on Wagner Road. The following streets were recommended for inclusion in the 1990 Street Resurfacing Program: STREET FROM TO Rainbow Drive West City Limits 465 ' East of Forrester Avenue Hammond Avenue E. Ridgeway Avenue San Marnan Drive West llth Street South Street Easton Avenue Burton Avenue West Parker Street Broadway Street Newell Street E. Fourth Street Mullan Avenue Eric Thorson, City Engineer, stated that approximately $600 , 000 is available from the road use tax fund for said street resurfacing although the needs of the City are much greater . Mr. Thorson indicated that the recommended street list includes those streets where joint repair has been completed in anticipation of the street resurfacing. Councilperson Dell suggested the possibility of reviewing street patch work prior to commencement since the street patch work determines the locations of future street resurfacing programs. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that the recommended street list be presented to the City Council for inclusion in the F.Y. 1990 Street Resurfacing Program. Motion carried. A petition was presented from residents of the Greenbrier Addition requesting that the City take action to control the dust problem caused by South Wagner Road, entering the Addition from the west. The petitioners suggested additional treatments of oil to address the problem. Gary Henderson, 1707 Hyperion Road, spoke in support of the petition. It was suggested that City staff prepare options for presentation to the Public Works Committee next week. With no further business before the Committee, it was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the meeting be adjourned. Motion carried. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES April 2, 1990 6 : 00 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox and Angel. Absent: Dell. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. The F.Y. 1990 Sidewalk Repair Assessment Program - Zone 1, Contract No. 382 , was brought to the floor for discussion. Eric Thorson, City Engineer, stated that 15 individuals would be recommended for deletion from the assessment program since all had completed the necessary patch work but had not obtained a City permit. These properties include the following: Deb Sells, 1036 Kern Mike Zubrod, 316 Cutler Howard Tucker, 903 Newton Raymond Summy, 1019 Fairview Don Henderson, 1025 Fairview Ivan Niedert, 1253 Lincoln David Powers, 1032 Lincoln Mary Snyder for 937 Conger Sada Fleming, 654 Conger Magdalen Royer, 1015 Kern Charles Reed, 1043 Kern & 1047 Kern Property Owner, 925 Grandview Mrs . Bartels, 311 Poplar Robert Thomas, 420 Reed It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the above properties be removed from the assessment program, if proper permits are obtained by week' s end. Motion carried. Several other special cases were explained including the property at 903 Logan Avenue, property owner Larry Webber. The necessary repair work has been completed but the work was not done by a bonded contractor. It was the recommendation of the City Engineer that if the appropriate permits and bonds were filed, that the property be removed from the assessment program. It was also the recommendation of the City Engineer to remove 110 St. Croix. It was explained that a bonded contractor had performed the work but had failed to take out the necessary permits. The property owner at 802 Conger Street had not yet completed the work, but could it do immediately. The City Engineer recommended that it be removed from the assessment program if completed by a bonded contractor. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the three special situations be recommended for removal from the assessment program if completed as recommended by the City Engineer. Motion Larry Webber, 903 Logan Avenue, inquired how the City interpreted which property owner would be responsible for repair of a square that is on both sides of a property line. IL was .Mated that these special instances will be reviewed more carefully in the future and that this first year has provided a considerable wealth of information on the repair and assessment program. The request of the Public Works Director for authorization to purchase one replacement van for the Animal Control Department was reviewed. Both vans are in need of replacement. Funds are available from the F.Y. 1990 cash carry over. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that authorization be given to seek bids for said Animal Control van. Motion carried. With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES March 26, 1990 5 : 30 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox, Dell and Angel. Also present: Mayor McKinley, Brown, Buck and Wright. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Angel that the agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. City Engineer Eric Thorson updated the Committee members on the F.Y. 1990 Sidewalk Repair Program - Zone I , Contract No. 382 . A public hearing on the proposed assessments is scheduled for Monday, April 2 , 1990 . (Property owners were previously given an opportunity to repair the sidewalk on their own and apply for assistance through the Community Development Block Grant Program. ) The public hearing is for those individuals that have not completed the repairs and are not eligible for Block Grant funds. Since the assessment mailing, the Engineer ' s Office has been informed by several property owners that the work has been completed but a permit was not taken out, therefore, the property owners received an assessment notice. The Waterloo School system has also indicated that one of the two schools which were mailed a notice has failed to have the sidewalk work performed. It is the recommendation of the City Engineer to allow the School District to complete the work on their own and delete it from the assessment program. The most serious question remains those individuals that did not take out permits. There were nine that involved patching work and two who completed the repair work without a bond. Without the benefit of a City permit, we are not able to verify if the work meets City standards. Councilperson Angel. suggested that the notice to property owners include the cost of the permit fee and the required completion date . If work cannot be completed by the property owner within the established time frame, she asked that the Engineering Office work with the property owners to obtain a permit . Mr. Thorson indicated that the permit fees are $2 . 00 each and contained in the notice and that in several instances, extenuating circumstances prevented the property owners from appropriately completing the work and in most cases an exception was allowed. The consensus of the Committee was that the non-compliance rate of less than one percent was definitely an excellent compliance rate. Don Temeyer, Planning and Development Director, reported that the sidewalk program specifically gives legal authority to the City to inspect the repairs and that future legal problems could arise if the repairs were not adequate. The possibility of invoking some type of penalty was discussed. Mayor McKinley suggested that each property owner be handled on an individual basis . After discussion, it was moved by Dell, seconded by Angel that the 11 property owners who failed to obtain City permits be handled on an individual basis by the Public Works Committee and that they not be required to remove their repairs. Motion carried. John Meyer, Public Works Director, stated that several issues remain concerning the issue of yard waste. They include elimination of alley pickup, open burning, the exemption schedule for low-income persons to purchase bags, and discussion on the proposed contract documents for the contracting of garbage collection.

The F.Y. 1990 Street Reconstruction Program, Contract No. 384 was discussed. Dennis Gentz, Assistant City Engineer, stated that Rhey Street does not appear on the reconstruction list as previously recommended. Due to the need for extensive storm sewer repairs in the area, the project cost has risen considerably since the original estimate. If the project is to be included in the street reconstruction, it will be necessary to delay the letting to allow final work to be completed. It was the recommendation of the City Engineer' s office that this street be deleted from this year ' s program and that it be included in next year ' s program. Chairperson Fox stated that Rhey Street could be included if Barclay, Vine and High Street were deleted but it was his understanding that these streets are directly related to the Sixth Street Extension work. In response to a question from a citizen, Public Works Director John Meyer stated that Midway Drive between Cadillac and University could be reconstructed as far as the City of Waterloo was concerned; however, the City of Cedar Falls is doing no reconstruction work at the current time and does not have it programmed. The City of Waterloo has offered to perform the design and contract administration portion for the City of Cedar Falls. In response to a question from Councilperson Brown, it was indicated that Linbud Lane is progressing. The City is currently working with Orlis Smith on an agreement concerning right-of-way needs and payment. This will be let as a separate contract when final documents have been prepared. The cost of the improvements will be assessed to adjacent property owners . Councilperson Wright stated that deleting Rhey Street from this year ' s program is understandable due to the excessive costs of the repairs.

Motion carried. (Both the ban on burning issue and a sliding scale for low income persons for purchase of bags will be referred back to the Public Works Committee on March 26th) Mr. Meyer reviewed the bid documents for solid waste collection. He stated that the document was designed to provide service equal to or better than what is currently received by Waterloo citizens. This document has also been reviewed by the Collective Bargaining Unit. Their review has resulted in their request that the contractor be asked to submit wage and benefit information. Mr. Meyer warned that this information could be asked of the bidders but asked the Committee to closely review how the City would use it in determining the low bidder. Councilperson Wright stated that this information would influence her decision on which company would be selected as the City' s contractor. It was the recommendation of the Committee that the bid document contain a provision that existing employees be considered first for the jobs. Mr. Meyer solicited Committee input into the bidding process prior to letting. Any changes the Committee wishes to discuss will be reviewed at the next Public Works Committee meeting scheduled for Monday, March 26, 1990. Mr. Meyer indicated that the proposed elimination of 'alley pickup as contained in the policy and procedures will appear on this evening' s council agenda. No official action was taken on the contracting document. With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES March 12 , 1990 5 : 45 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox, Dell and Angel. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Angel that the agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. The proposed time line for revisions to the solid waste collection system was reviewed by Public Works Director, John Meyer . In response to questions from Councilpersons Fox and Angel, Mr. Meyer reported that there are ongoing discussions with the bargaining unit concerning revising the sanitation worker job description. Cost savings of bidding private collection verses reorganization of the department are being analyzed. If the City were to contract for garbage services, approximately 6 - 7 workers would not be able to meet the minimum qualifications for the revised sanitation job description. Mr. Meyer indicated that they are continuing to work with the union to address this problem. The workers could be assimilated into the work force; however, this is difficult since they are unable to obtain chauffeurs license and all similar positions require this licensing ability. Councilperson Dell questioned the legal authority of the City to change job descriptions of current workers when they were specifically hired for a particular job. Jim Rodemeyer, Personnel Director, stated that this does not appear to be a problem since the job will no longer exist. Mr. Meyer stressed that the cost of privatization verses reorganization of the department will constantly be reviewed to insure the best use of funds. The proposed policies and procedures for solid waste collection were reviewed. Three major changes since being presented to the Committee in November, 1989, include a recommendation to limit the number of non-yard waste cans, limiting the size of trees' diameter to no greater than six inches, and a ban on open burning. Mr. Meyer also indicated that the policy proposes that alley collection which constitutes approximately 25% of the routes be eliminated. Mr. Meyer recommended that the number of non-yard waste cans be reduced from 15 to 8 . Reducing the number of bags is an enticement for people to reduce their garbage output. Mr. Meyer indicated that State law bans the burning of garbage. The City Ordinance currently allows burning on private property if the material is produced on the premises. Mr. Meyer reported that the City could expect to have many complaint calls on burning since people may take to burning their yard waste. He suggested that October 1st be the effective date of the no burning ordinance to coincide with the commencement of the yard waste collection system. Chief Stapella indicated that currently burning is a problem in the metro area and encouraged the Council to ban open burning. He indicated that the Department answers approximately 200 calls per year at an approximate cost of $200 each.

Motion carried. Discussion on Rhey Street will continue on next week' s Public Works Committee meeting. With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES March 5, 1990 6: 00 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox, Dell and Angel. The Agenda, as proposed, was approved. Eric Thorson, City Engineer, presented a revised copy of the City's driveway and sidewalk specifications which updated and modernized existing policy. Several issues that were addressed include deletion of certain curing methods, deletion of the section allowing property owners to mix their own concrete and adding sections allowing the use of ready-mix cement and certain sawing procedures. This will apply to driveways and sidewalks constructed in City rights-of-way. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell that said recommendations be forwarded to the City Council with a recommendation of approval. Motion carried. With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE February 26, 1990 4: 45 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox, Dell and Angel. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. The purpose of the meeting was to review the pavement management system report that will assist the City in maintaining a better quality street system. The report was prepared by the Transportation Department of the Planning and Development Division. Authorization to proceed with requests for proposals from consulting firms qualified in the pavement management field was requested. Bill Ratekin, Chairperson of the Committee, emphasized the need for the City' s commencement of a system that will properly document the existing street system and project proposed repair and maintenance needs of each street. It is imperative that we maintain the streets that we have now with the limited dollars available for street repair and maintenance. Once selected, the consultants will do an inventory of all City streets and prioritize the needs for repair. Additionally, the consultant with the assistance of a software package that will be made available to the City, will include the proposed construction costs and/or maintenance and the cost benefit ratio of repair. In response to a question from Councilperson Dell, John Meyer, Public Works Director, stated that the City street maintenance program is now an emergency response system. An influx of money for the next eight to ten years of three to four million dollars per year will be necessary to put the City street system in top repair. This system would be extremely helpful in assisting the Public Works Division on its street repair activities. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Angel that the City staff be instructed to authorize request for proposals for the pavement management system at an approximate cost of $50,000 to $125,000. Motion carried. Bill Ratekin provided a computer demonstration of the proposed information that such a software program and consultant would provide. With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES February 19, 1990 6: 00 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Fox, Dell and Angel. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Angel, that the agenda be reversed to allow discussion on the boulder removal first followed by discussion on the Fereday Curve. Motion carried. The request of the Transportation Program Manager for authorization to take bids for the removal of the boulder located near the intersection of Ridgeway and West Fourth Street was reviewed. The boulder must be moved to provide future right-of-way for the proposed improvements to West Ridgeway Avenue located between U.S. Hwy. 63 and Ansborough Avenue. It was moved by Angel, seconded by Dell, that authorization to proceed with said bid taking be approved. Motion carried. Discussion was heard on the proposed improvements to the Fereday Curve. Chairperson Fox announced that City Staff had reviewed various alternatives including the construction of the Jersey Barrier in the median area and guardrails along the outside rights-of-way. The guardrail alternative would be less expensive or approximately $100, 000. It has been determined that if a guardrail is constructed on the residential or inside portion of the curve, it would be necessary to build a guardrail across a driveway. It has been learned that the affected resident uses this driveway; therefore, the guardrail alternative may need reconsideration and modification. Estimated cost of the Jersey Barrier construction is $85 , 000. Casey Clark, 540 Newton Street, objected to a Jersey Barrier which would not allow left turns on and off the highway. It was reported that with the construction of the Jersey Barrier, a right in, right out turn would only be allowed. Robert Graves, who is employed by Westside Transport, indicated that the Jersey Barrier would not be an adequate solution to the problem and that if semis were the victim of an accident, the clean up time is much greater. Mr. Clark suggested that the speed limit be reduced and that a barrier be considered in front of the Fereday property. A concerned citizen in the area also questioned the closing of Newton Street. He also indicated that a gap in the guardrail on Franklin Street, near its intersection with East llth Street, is allowed and why a gap could not be allowed along the Fereday Curve. Don Temeyer, Planning and Development Director, stated that the City must conform to standards as established by the Iowa Department of Transportation. If any repair work was done on Franklin Street near East llth Street, similar standards would be required. Another concerned citizen suggested the possibility of installing a steel guardrail on both the inside and outside of the rights-of-way; Police Chief Roger Shook and Fire zo3,Tpnv/xzaTD A3Tp zabzng •d Aziw7 •pauznoipP sPM buTgaaw alp 'aa;4Tunuop egg azo;aq ssauTsnq zaq;zn; ou g3TM •paTz1Po uOT4ow -spun; A3a3PS pTPS JO; u0T4P31OdsuPzy go 3,uaw31PdaC PMoI aq4 o3, pa33Twgns sT uoT3POTTddP 411Pzb alp awT3 aq3 4P TTounop A3Tg TTn; 3q3.

Recommendation that two handicapped parking spaces be designated on Jefferson Street adjacent to the West 4th Street intersection--Public Works Director. John Meyer, Public Works Director, reported that there has been a request for additional handicapped parking spaces designated around the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center. Meyer stated that the designated handicapped parking in the ramp is a considerable distance from the Convention Center and is difficult for ambulatory handicapped individuals to negotiate. Mr. Meyer recommended that two handicapped parking spaces be designated on Jefferson Street adjacent to the West 4th Street intersection. At the Jefferson and West 4th Street corner there is a handicapped accessible ramp to enter the Convention Center. Moved by Angel, seconded by Fox that the recommendation from the Public Works Director for two additional handicapped parking spaces on Jefferson Street, adjacent to the West 4th Street intersection, be approved. Motion carried. 2. Discussion on the Fereday Curve--City Engineer. Eric Thorson, City Engineer, ran through the history of the Fereday curve for the Committee. Thorson stated that on many occasions vehicles have mis-negotiated the curve and have ended up in the Fereday building and on other property across from the Fereday curve. Thorson stated that the recommendation in the past has always been to install a New Jersey Barrier on the curve and that the City staff still contends that this is the only solution to the problem. Citizens in the area stated that they were concerned that the traffic would end up in their front yards such as a sling-shot affect. Bob Stevenson, Planning and Zoning Director, stated that there are three options that the Council could take: ( 1) do nothing; ( 2) install a New Jersey Barrier constructed in the median for approximately $150, 000 ; or ( 3 ) construct a curve improvement by purchasing the adjacent properties and spreading the curve so that it is not such a sharp angle at the cost of $730, 000 . Council person Fox stated that in his opinion the City needed to do something with the curve as it poses a problem not only for the adjoining properties but also for vehicles in the opposite lane that could be hit head on by vehicles out of control. An attorney for the Fereday Heating and Cooling Company stated that they too were concerned not only for the safety of human life but also concerned for all of the property owners in the area.

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE January 22 , 1990 4 : 45 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Brown, Dell and Fox. The request of the Public Works Director for authorization to seek competitive bids on a salt storage building was reviewed. Since bids for this project came in higher than expected in August, 1989, John Meyer, Public Works Director, is recommending that authorization be given to purchase a set of plans for a high arch gambrel building at an approximate cost of $7,000. The style of building is a rectangular, high ceiling wooden structure specifically designed for the storage of bulk material. The building also features a lean-to storage structure along the long dimension. He also recommended that the City Electrical Department do the electrical work within the facility resulting in a savings of $10, 000 to $15,000 . Bond proceeds of $70,000 is available for the project. The anticipated balance of $100,000 of the project would be financed through the road-use tax fund. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Fox, that the Public Works Director be authorized to proceed with the purchase of plans for said building from Advanced Storage Systems, Inc. at a cost of $7,000 and that detailed plans and specifications be prepared and competitive bids be solicited. Motion carried. The request of the resident at 1807 Byron Avenue to post the north side of Byron Avenue in front of residences at 1801, 1807, and 1813 Byron as "No Parking" signs was reviewed. This is an offset intersection resulting in problems for motorists approaching Byron on Ohio from the south not being able to stop and ending up in front of the yard and driveway at 1807 Byron Avenue. After discussion, it was moved by Dell, seconded by Fox that each of the three property owners at the addresses listed above be notified of the first reading of the ordinance to restrict parking. Motion carried. John Meyer, Public Works Director, reported that the parking enforcement personnel in the Clerk/Auditor's office have encountered difficulties due to the interpretation of the loading zone definition in the Municipal Traffic Code. It is not clear from the language in the Ordinance on how long a vehicle can be allowed to park in posted loading zone areas. For purposes of enforcement, a 15 minute limit would allow a customer to complete their business and leave the signed area. It was moved by Fox, seconded by Dell that the Public Works Committee recommend to the City Council that loading zones be posted for a maximum of 15 minutes and that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare an ordinance accordingly. Motion carried. John Meyer, Public Works Director, reported on difficulties that the Department has had on the notification procedure for Weed Ordinance violations. Currently, the Ordinance requires that a notice procedure must be personally served on the owner of the property or a certified letter sent to the owner of record. The current Ordinance then allows ten days from the receipt of the notice before the nuisance can zogTpnY/xzaTD AgTD zabzng •d AzlP[ •paTz1Po uoTgoN •pauzno[pP aq buTgaauz agq.

The agenda, as proposed, was approved. Discussion centered around the Fereday curve located on Broadway Street, between Parker Street to Kern Street. Steve Powell, representing Fereday Heating Co. , indicated that the City' s action is necessary to abate the inherently dangerous situation that exists at this location. The Company has experienced considerable costs associated with accidents resulting in personal injury and death. It has also caused a serious disruption of their normal business operation. The Company is also facing a serious threat of uninsurability and/or prohibitive liability insurance premium costs due to the accidents that have occurred. He asked that consideration be given to assisting the business in alleviating this dangerous situation or the Company may be faced with relocating to another location. Several solutions have been suggested by City staff including the Jersey barrier concept or straighten out the curve. The cost of constructing a Jersey barrier is estimated to be $150,000. An estimated cost of straightening the curve ranges from $700, 000 to $800, 000 . Prior to transfer of jurisdiction of this road from the State of Iowa to the City of Waterloo, the State was interested in participating in the cost of this improvement. Since the highway has been transferred to the jurisdiction of the City, State participation is less likely. The possibility of some type of barrier in City right-of-way between the outside curve line and the building was discussed, as well as building some type of structure on the Fereday property. The Committee was anxious to point out that they did not wish to band aid a solution; they wanted to review every possibility. Roger Shook, Police Chief, indicated that additional patrol in the area probably would not reduce accidents nor is the Police Department in a position to be able to concentrate patrol in the area. The neighborhood will be involved in future Committee discussions concerning this item. After discussion, it was moved by Dell, seconded by Fox that staff be instructed to review all possibilities to correct this dangerous situation by February 5th at which time the Public Works Committee will review said recommendations. Motion carried. Council person Fox indicated that it is necessary for the City to move ahead quickly in its decision as Fereday has been very patient throughout the City' s deliberation on this item. Public Works Committee Page 2 January 16, 1990 It was suggested that the neighborhoods be sent an article relating to the safety of Jersey barriers in their meeting notice envelope. The request of the Police Department to prohibit parking on Webster Street, from East Fourth Street approximately 100 feet east, was reviewed. After a discussion, it was moved by Fox, seconded by Dell, that a recommendation be forwarded to the City Council that parking on the north side of Webster Street be restricted from Fourth Street approximately 100 feet east and on the south side of Webster Street from East 4th Street to Linn Street. Motion carried. Committee Members asked that the impact of these parking restrictions be reported back one month after their implementation. With no further business before the Committee, it was moved by Fox, seconded by Dell, that the meeting be adjourned. Motion carried. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor JOINT PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE r/`" /Cc._ January 16, 1990 6 : 15 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairpersons Brown and Angel, Dell, Fox, Wright and Buck. It was moved by Wright, seconded by Angel that the agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. The current policy for garbage exemptions for low income households was reviewed. Currently, City policy allows an exemption for households with incomes of less than $7,000. Pursuant to action of the Public Works Committee on January 8th, it was the recommendation that an alternative exemption structure be reviewed by staff . Various exemption proposals were reviewed. The option favored by Committee Members was to continue to allow a total exemption for households with incomes of less than $7 , 000, a 50o exemption for incomes between $7, 000 and $8 , 500 per year and a 25% exemption for incomes between $8 , 500 and $10, 000 per year. Based upon projected household incomes and the numbers of households currently making application for exemption, a garbage rate increase of $1 . 10 per month would be needed to offset the revenues lost by the above exemption schedule. The need for a future garbage increase will not be known until the City makes a decision on how it will handle its future garbage operation. Proposals are currently being sought from private contractors to take over the City' s solid waste collection system. After discussion, it was moved by Fox, seconded by Angel that the garbage exemption schedule described above, together with a recommendation of approval to the City Council for a garbage rate increase of $1 . 10 per month, be received, placed on file and approved. Motion carried. With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES January 8, 1990 5: 30 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Brown, Dell and Fox. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Fox that the agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. The East Fourth Street Pedestrian Crossing of the Chicago Central and Pacific Railroad study was reviewed. The estimated cost including construction, design and related services, is approximately $350 , 000. Funding for the project is being sought. The Fourth Street Committee will begin review of the project. Various locations and design of the ramp are detailed in the study. No official action was taken on the study. The study report of the West Side Skywalk linking the west side ramp, River Plaza and the La Maison Building was reviewed. Since a pedestrian need for such a facility has been established, sources of funding are being sought. In analyzing the private participation in the project, public/private partnerships in the downtown are reviewed to determine the public dollar that is spent and the resulting private dollar investment. It was explained that prior to the City' s commitment to construct a skywalk, private commitment would be necessary. Public funding sources are being investigated including the CORD LAP loan program through the State of Iowa which would allow a lower interest rate. Currently, the Legislature has not appropriate funding for this program but it is hoped that a funding source can be established. Staff will work with property owners in the area and refer a recommendation to the Council for final action. The recommendation of the Public Works Director to remove parking meters on Jefferson Street from Westfield Avenue to W. Mullan Avenue, E. Second Street from Franklin Street to Mulberry Street, and W. Fourth Street from Bluff Street to Washington Street was reviewed. It was moved by Dell, seconded by Fox that a recommendation of approval for said changes by forwarded to the City Council. Motion carried. The City' s garbage collection system was reviewed in light of Legislation requiring the reduction of the waste stream to the landfill by 25 percent. John Meyer, Public Works Director, stated that the Iowa League of Municipalities is monitoring and is proposing that the yard waste deadline be set back six months to allow Cities to comply with the new State regulation. The City may have an option to hold off implementation of the rules but it is doubtful that the Black Hawk County Solid Waste Commission will delay the October 1st compliance date. The need to conserve space at the landfill is necessary. Discussion was heard on discontinuing alley pickup. Approximately 1/3 of the residential accounts have alley pickup. With the change in the truck design and number of persons per truck, it will become impossible to continue Public Works Committee Page 2 this past practice. Informally, the Committee agreed to recommend an end to alley garbage pickup. Decreasing the bag limit from eighteen ( 18) containers to eight ( 8) was reviewed. No official action was taken on this item. Mr. Meyer reported that twelve ( 12 ) private companies have been contacted concerning the possibility of contracting the Municipal Solid Waste Collection Operation. Proposals are due by January 26th. Contractors are asked to address such items as what part of the waste stream are they interested in collecting; would they hire existing employees and what benefits would they have and wages paid; length of contract, etc. A decision on contracting garbage collection services to a private hauler must be made soon. A Public Works Committee Meeting will be scheduled for February 5th to review the proposals. He asked that if committee members had questions or comments concerning the proposal to please let him know as soon as possible. John also reported that the Black Hawk County Health Department has approached the Black Hawk County Solid Waste Commission for funding of an enforcement person to handle complaints relating to solid waste exclusively. This position is being considered by the Commission. Mr. Meyer brought to the attention of the Committee the need for a one dollar ($1 . 00 ) per month rate increase to be made effective as soon as possible. The 1990 Fiscal Year Budget projected in its revenue budget a fifty cent ( $ . 50) per month increase. Since this increase has not been implemented, it is now necessary for a one dollar ( $1. 00) increase to be implemented. The increase would offset landfill tipping fee increases and negotiated labor increases. A second garbage rate increase in October, 1990, may be necessary to finance the cost of separation of garbage collection. Discussion was heard on the current exemption schedule for low-income persons and the possibility that this should be expanded to include more individuals if a garbage rate increase is approved. This will be reviewed by City staff. It was moved by Fox, seconded by none, that a recommendation of approval for the garbage rate increase in the amount of one dollar ( $1. 00) per month be forwarded to the City Council with the recommendation of approval. The motion died for lack of a second. It was moved by Fox, seconded by Dell that action on this item be tabled for one week to allow City staff to further review the exemption schedule for low-income persons for garbage services. Motion carried. With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned. 1-' Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor
