The Finance Committee of the City of Waterloo, Iowa met in the Mayor's Conference Room in
City Hall at 6:30 P.M. on April 12, 1982.
Council Member Wilharm presiding officer.
On Roll Call: Wilharm, Bowers, Roehr, Dowie.
The recommendation of Don Thorson, Street Dept Superintendent, on street equipment bid on
April 5, 1982 was reviewed. He recommended the purchase of the following equipment:
I' BIDDER AMOUNT
Truck Donovan International $ 16,441.00
Oil Distributor James W. Bell Co. , Inc. 16,988.00
Pulverizer/Mixer Herman M. Brown Co. 46,500.00
It was moved by Roehr, seconded by Bowers to accept these recommendations. The motion
carried.
Under new business, the over-payment to two (2) Human Rights Investigators was reviewed.
It was explained that the over-payment had occurred since July 1, 1981, resulting in over-
payment of approximately $1,800.00 each. (Councilman Dowie now present.) B. J. Furgerson,
Director of the Human Rights Commission, stated that she, the two (2) employees, and Board
recognize that repayment is necessary, but are concerned with the proposed payback schedule.
The suggested rate of $25.00 per pay period was thought to be too rapid (approximately three
(3) years) . It was moved by Roehr, seconded by Bowers to defer action for one week to allow
input from the City Attorney. Motion carried.
Ralph Sander, Milk Sanitarian, requested authorization to purchase a laboratory incubator.
Money is available in his budget under capital equipment. Since the only bid that had been
obtained was from Curtin-Mathison, the Finance Committee recommended that the standard
policy of taking bids be also followed in this case.
The request of Metropolitan Transit Authority for refund of tax on gasoline purchases was
tabled for one week.
The request of the Street Department for authorization to purchase a street sweeper from
Herman M. Brown Co. was reviewed. The equipment is a trade-in model and has been inspected
by the City of Waterloo. It was moved by Wilharm, seconded by Bowers to approve this $9,000
purchase. The motion carried.
The request of the Waterloo Firefighters to discuss sick pay for M. Shillinglaw and D. Anderson
was removed from the agenda since this was on the City Council agenda of April 12, 1982 for
discussion.
Harold Getty, Chairman of the Public Works Committee, reported that their committee had
reviewed the Street Department's request for purchase of a profiler. The Committee's
recommendation was to authorize purchase of the (NI equipment in the amount of $215,000.
