Council Chambers
Members present: Chairperson Getty, Greenwood, Steve Schmitt.
Moved by Greenwood, seconded by Steve Schmitt that the request of the Community Planning
& Development Director for approval of the request from Waterloo Rotary Club to add a new
emblem and lettering to the Welcome to Waterloo Sign on Highway 218.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. The sign is located on
city property and was built with funding from the cellular tower lease and donations from the
Waterloo Rotary Club. The Rotary Club has an emblem on the sign now, but it continually
becomes faded and difficult to read. The Rotary Club would like to add a new, more visible
emblem as well as lettering along the bottom portion of the welcome sign. Staff is
recommending approval of this request due to the previous commitment from the Rotary Club to
get this sign built as well as the presence of their existing emblem. The new lettering will be
funded by the Waterloo Rotary Club.
Councilperson Getty expressed concerns as to what would happen if other service organizations
request to do the same. Noel Anderson, Community Planning & Development Director,
explained that the Rotary Club was the only organization that raised funds for this sign, and that
the city could find other spots for signs for other services organizations. Michelle Weidner,
Chief Financial Officer, stated that the Welcome,ta,,Waterloo sign on Highway 63 does have an
emblem but no text, and she would hate to see us clutter the sign on Highway 218 with text. Mr.
Anderson noted that the sign on Highway 218 is „quite ways from the road and larger text
would help. Councilperson Greenwood stated he is opposed to the lettering request as he thinks
an emblem is enough recognition. Councilperson Getty asked about the sign on Highway 63
coming north into Waterloo, and Mr. Anderson responded the Exchange Club donated that sign
and it has an emblem with no text. Councilperson Steve Schmitt asked if denying the Exchange
Club's request for the text would be a precedent and would we treat all requests the same. Mr.
Anderson noted there is no clear process for these signs. The original Welcome to Waterloo sign
on Highway 218 was reviewed by the Building & Grounds Committee because of the cellular
tower lease. Councilperson Welper stated he has no problem with the emblem, but he is opposed
to allowing the words. Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer, reported she was a member
of the Rotary Club when the funds were raised, and thought the club raised the funds so that we
could welcome visitors to Waterloo, not to brag about the Rotary Club. Councilperson Reggie
Schmitt stated he supports the new emblem but not adding the text, and Councilpersons Hart and
Cole agreed with him. Councilperson Steve Schmitt stated that if we are not going to allow the
lettering for the Rotary Club, we need to make sure going forward that we do the same for all
service organizations for all signs.
A vote was taken on the original motion with the following result. Ayes: None. Nays: Getty,
Greenwood, Steve Schmitt. Motion failed.
Moved by Greenwood, seconded by Steve Schmitt that the request of the Community Planning
& Development Director for approval of request from Waterloo Rotary Club, as amended, to add
a new emblem to the Welcome to Waterloo Sign on Highway 218 be approved. Ayes: Three.
Motion carried.
With no further business before the committee, it was moved by Steve Schmitt, seconded by
Greenwood that the meeting be adjourned at 4:58 p.m. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.

The request of Roosevelt Roby on behalf of Contemporary Urban Development to purchase
property located at 132 Sumner Street for $3,600.00 was reviewed. On September 22, 2008, Mr.
Roby submitted a request to purchase said property for $2,600.00, but the Building & Grounds
Committee turned down the request due to the assessed value being $3,600.00 and no
development agreement in place. Mr. Roby submitted a second request of $3,000.00 and a
development agreement stating that the property would be hard surfaced no later than October 1,
2009, which was turned down by the Building & Grounds Committee. This request is an offer to
purchase 132 Sumner Street for $3,600.00 and a signed development agreement stating that the
property will be hard surfaced by November 1, 2009. Moved by Reggie Schmitt, seconded by
Steve Schmitt that said request be approved. Ayes: Two. Absent: Getty, Greenwood. Motion

Moved by Greenwood, seconded by Steve Schmitt that the request of Roosevelt Roby on behalf
of Contemporary Urban Development to purchase property located at 132 Sumner Street for
$3,000.00 be approved.
On September 22, 2008, the Building & Grounds Committee reviewed the request by Roosevelt
Roby to purchase a lot at 132 Sumner Street for $2,600.00. The committee denied the request
because the property has an assessed value of $3,600.00 and there was no development
agreement in place. Mr. Roby has submitted a new office price of$3,000.00 and he is willing to
sign a development agreement stating that the property will be hard surfaced no later than
October 1, 2009.
Noel Anderson, Community Planning & Development Director, explained that the Sale of
Property Policy allows sale of the property for less than assessed value if the buyer is going to
improve the site. Councilperson Reggie Schmitt noted that the city would probably pay $600.00
for mowing costs.
Councilperson Greenwood stated he would support selling the property if there were a
development agreement. Councilperson Greenwood noted the whole area needs to be cleaned
up.
Councilperson Hart stated it doesn't look like anything else could be put on the site but a parking
lot. Mr. Anderson stated the property is not big enough for a commercial building but a house
could be built on the site.
Councilperson Steve Schmitt asked why not hold off for the assessed value of $3,600.00. Mr.
Anderson responded that if the applicant is going to spend $600.00 on improvements his offer
would meet the Sale of Property Policy.
Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes:
None. Motion failed.
Moved by Greenwood, seconded by Steve Schmitt that the request of Roosevelt Roby on behalf
of Contemporary Urban Development to purchase property located at 132 Sumner Street be

Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
Moved by Steve Schmitt, seconded by Greenwood that the request of Roosevelt Roby on behalf
of Contemporary Urban Development Company to purchase property located at 132 Sumner
Street was reviewed.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Noel Anderson, Community Planning & Development Director, explained that city recently
demolished the home at 132 Sumner Street through the Dilapidated Housing program. The
assessed value of the property is $3,600.00 for a 4,720 square foot parcel. The property does not
meet the minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet based on today's ordinance. Since the lot
appears to have been platted prior to adoption of the ordinance in 1969, the property would be
considered to be a lot of record and could be built upon. Contemporary Urban Development
currently owns a commercial business adjacent to the lot and has submitted a purchase offer of
$2,600.00. Contemporary Urban Development's intent is to hard surface the lot and use as
additional parking for the adjacent commercial building. The parking lot would be either
concrete or asphalt.
Councilperson Getty commented that he opposes selling the property for $2,600.00 when the
assessed value is $3,600.00 even though the applicant proposes to use it only for a parking lot.
Councilperson Getty asked if the city agrees to sell the property could we stipulate when the lot
would have to be completed. Mr. Anderson explained that if the committee approves this
request, a development agreement would be forwarded to the full council and a completion date
could be part of that agreement.
Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes:
None. Nays: Getty, Greenwood, Steve Schmitt. Motion failed.
With no further business before the committee, it was moved by Greenwood, seconded by Steve
Schmitt that the meeting be adjourned at 5:02 p.m. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.

The request of the Building Official/Maintenance Administrator for authorization to proceed
with 2008 Pool Renovations at Gates and Byrnes Pool was reviewed. This project includes filter
replacement and painting of Gates Pool, painting of Byrnes Pool and installation of ADA
approved handrails in the zero-depth entrance to both pools. Councilperson Getty asked if the
city plans to install fun kid items in the pools. Lou Cutwright, Building Official/Maintenance
Administrator, noted that next year, if money is available, drop slides will be installed in the
pools. Mr. Cutwright explained that there is no room for a lazy river or expansion of the pools.
Moved by Steve Schmitt, seconded by Getty that said request be approved. Ayes: Two.
Absent: Greenwood. Motion carried.
The request of the Building Official/Maintenance Administrator for authorization to purchase
chilled water coils for the Center For The Arts at a maximum cost of$16,000.00 was reviewed.
The Center for The Art is currently cooled with a split AC system. Some of the units are 20 ton
units and require a large amount of energy to operate. Instead of replacing these split AC
systems as they fail, they will be putting chilled water coils in the air handler units and piping
chilled water to these units. A mix of chilled coil units, some from Capitol R & D and some
from Trane, will be used. Trane's proposal is for all eight units to be solid coils that cannot be
split to install. Four of the units will have to be purchased from Capitol R& D as they will have
to be split. Moved by Steve Schmitt, seconded by Getty that said request be approved. Ayes:
Two. Absent: Greenwood. Motion carried.

The request of the Building Official/Maintenance Administrator for authorization to repair the
roof edge along the parking lot side of City Hall at a cost of$5,746.00 was reviewed. The edge
was flashed in with metal when the penthouse was installed and has rusted away. It has been

The request from Torn Poe to remove some marble portions from the restrooms of the former
Rath Administration Building for the Rath memorabilia museum building was reviewed. The
city and Mako are still in their due diligence periods, so the city still owns the building. Mako is

The Professional Services Agreement with Gilmore and Doyle to prepare plans and
specifications for the Waterloo Center For The Arts air conditioning, Phase I and Phase II
upgrade was reviewed by Lou Cutwright, Building Official/Maintenance Administrator. The
HVAC upgrade in the west wing of the Center For The Arts is necessary because the existing
units are 25-30 years old and maintenance costs are high. To have the existing system work
efficiently to cool the Martin Theater, a new 20-ton compressor needs to be installed at a cost of
$20,000 - $25,000. All the air conditioning systems in the west wing are split systems and are
expensive to run. The goal is to install a chiller system that uses water to chill the cooling coils
instead of Freon. These units are more efficient and require less energy per ton to run. Mr.
Cutwright is requesting authorization to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with
Gilmore and Doyle Mechanical and Electrical Consulting Engineers to prepare plans and
specifications for the Waterloo Center For The Arts air conditioning Phase I and Phase II
upgrade. The design will include both phases, including contract documents, review of
submittals and on-site meetings with construction personnel for Phase I. The project is divided
into two phases, with the cost for Phase I estimated at $268,000.00, and Phase II is estimated to
cost $253,000.00.
In answer to a question from Councilperson Steve Schmitt, Mr. Cutwright noted that Gilmore &
Doyle will work with MidAmerican Energy for developing a plan for energy savings. Mr.
Cutwright explained that he will place on next week's council agenda an agreement with
MidAmerican Energy that will ultimately save the city over $9,000.00 per year in energy savings
at Young Arena. Total cost for the upgrade to Young Arena is approximately $65,000.00, and
MidAmerican Energy will pay the city $25,000 to assist with the upgrades. The actual cost to
the city will be returned in approximately four years.
Moved by Getty, seconded by Steve Schmitt that said professional services agreement be
approved. Ayes: Two. Absent: Greenwood. Motion carried.

The request of the Building Official/Maintenance Administrator for authorization to repair the
roof/gutter system and interior walls at Veterans Memorial Hall was reviewed. Memorial Hal is
experiencing failure in the roof/gutter system along the river side of the building. Investigation
revealed the internal gutter system in the soffit is leaking and the interior walls are being
damaged. The estimated cost to repair the roof is $19,000.00. The total repair on the system,
including the interior repairs, should not exceed $22,000.00. Moved by Steve Schmitt, seconded
by Greenwood that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
The request of the Building Official/Maintenance Administrator for authorization to purchase a
new uninterruptible power supply and new switch gear for the emergency generator for City Hall
was reviewed. Waterloo experienced a power outage on March 27, 2008 that affected City Hall.
The emergency generator came online and was able to support the entire building with
emergency power. Two major weaknesses surfaced that need to be addressed. The
uninterruptible power supply (U.P.S.) that runs all the computers and the phone system failed.
After one-half hour, the computer had to be taken offline. The switch gear that takes the
electrical system from line power to emergency power and back again failed because of age and
moisture. A new U.P.S. unit has been ordered, and the cost will be approximately $24,000.00.
A new switch gear has been ordered. The switch gear will be up-sized from 400 to 600 amps
and we are adding a heater to the system to keep the moisture out. The cost for the new switch
gear will be approximately $8,500.00 with installation. Moved by Steve Schmitt, seconded by
Getty that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.

The request of the Leisure Services Director for approval of an agreement to allow Waterloo
Community Schools to construct a retention pond and sidewalk on C.A. Morris Park adjacent to
Kittrell School was reviewed. This is a wet area which is difficult to mow. The Waterloo
Community Schools needs a retention pond which will work as a prairie area, and the sidewalk
will be put on park property. An agreement will be forwarded to the full council for approval.
Councilperson Steve Schmitt asked if there has been discussion regarding the maintenance of the
retention pond. Paul Huting, Leisure Services Director, responded that there will be specific
language in the agreement regarding maintenance, and that he will work with the City Attorney's
office for specific language.
In response to a questions regarding an ice skating rink at this park, Mr. Huting noted that there
is a skating rink berm, and that the neighbors have used the rink off and on and they could again,
but the skating rink is in a higher, drier area of the park.
