Members present: Chairperson Budak, Wright and Lemke.
It was moved by Wright, seconded by Lemke that the Agenda as
proposed, be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
Bob Stevenson, City Planner, provided an update on the status of
the Young Ice Arena. The design development stage has been
completed by the architect and the Army Corps of Engineers has
approved the site location. The Corps has recommended that the
building be shifted approximately 25 feet south of the former
location resulting in reduced parking. The building will still be
oriented towards the river and a veranda will be constructed over
the dike providing visual access to the river. The Planning,
Programming and Zoning Commission and the Board of Adjustment have
approved the site plan.
Staff is now working with the Waterloo Civic Foundation for an
Agreement for Construction and Gift of Recreational Facility. The
Youngs have transferred the property to the Civic Foundation. The
Agreement will state that the Foundation will transfer the property
to the city and in turn the city will give a construction easement
to build the facility. Jim Walsh, City Attorney, reported that a
preliminary working draft of said agreement is being circulated
among the affected parties. Steve Weidner, Attorney for the Civic
Foundation, has been involved and is working on finalization of the
agreement . Permits for the construction of the facility are being
waived by the city.
An agreement is also necessary with the ice users who will be
providing funding in the amount of $650,000 for the facility. In
consideration of the generous gift by the Young family, the city
has agreed to provide items to furnish the facility totaling
approximately $1 . 4 million. The city is anticipating long term
borrowing in July 1993 for $700, 000 for said improvements. The
remaining will be bonded for in future bond issues. Councilperson
Wright expressed concern that the city proceed with obtaining an
agreement with the ice users to guarantee their financial
assistance.
Staff has been working with Allen Chen concerning the acquisition
of adjacent property in the block currently occupied by Yen Ching
Restaurant. Said property would be used for parking. With the Yen
Ching property, approximately 134 parking stalls would be provided
on site. Although the area is located in the "C-3" Commercial
District, parking regulations are not required in this zoned
district.
It was moved by Wright, seconded by Lemke that the Building &
Grounds Committee recommend that the Council approve the Young
Arena site plan and enter into an agreement with the Waterloo Civic
Foundation as specified above. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
Bob Stevenson, City Planner, noted that the Library Board has
identified significant repairs needed at the Library to include
installation of flashing around the windows to stop major water
leakage and to replace the metal panels that have been identified
as a safety hazard. Howard Green & Associates have been employed
to begin reviewing the options. The first alternative is to
replace the panels which is estimated to cost $268,000 or to
replace the panels with the brick masonry wall at a cost: of
$301, 000. Lou Cutwright, Building Official, has recommended that
the brick masonry option be constructed. The Library Board has
concurred in this recommendation.
Funds for this project would include $50, 000 from the General
Obligation Bond FY 94 Library Renovation Issuance, a transfer of
$25, 000 from the FY 94 General Obligation Bonds for parking Lots

It was moved by Wright, seconded by Lemke that the Agenda, as
proposed, be approved. Motion carried.
Don Temeyer, Planning & Development Director, presented drawings
prepared by Flinn Saito Andersen & DeVoe for the renovation of the
Carnegie/East Side Library. This is to accommodate the relocation
of the Waterloo Housing Authority from the Chamber of Commerce to
the former Library. The work includes interior renovation of the
offices and renovation of the elevator to comply with the Americans
with Disabilities Act. Estimated cost is $75 , 000 for the elevator
work and approximately $35, 000 for the remaining remodeling.
The plan has been proposed under the guidance and direction of the
Housing Authority, Community Development, City Engineer' s Office
and the Human Rights Commission. Cost of the renovation will be
divided as follows: Housing Authority will be responsible for
$55 , 000 of their work which includes $25 , 000 for the elevator and
$30, 000 for the renovation; Community Development for $25, 000 of
the elevator repair and bond funds of $35, 000 set aside for
compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act.
The current block grant application will need to be amended
( through a public hearing) to allow the expenditure for the
elevator repair. The elevator renovation will make the entire
building ADA accessible.
With the Committee' s approval, the architect will be instructed to
prepare plans, specifications and bid documents.
It was moved by Lemke, seconded by Wright that said proposed
expenditures and schematic design plans be approved and
authorization be given to proceed with plan preparation and bid
documents. Motion carried.

additional grant monies for the additional cost of said repairs.
The proposed floor plan for the anticipated move of the Housing
Authority from the Chamber offices to the Carnegie Annex was
reviewed. This proposal has been reviewed in conjunction with the
Personnel Department, Clerk/Auditor, the Planning & Development
Director, the Community Development Director and Human Rights
Director . Essentially, the Housing Authority would occupy the
space currently occupied by the Human Rights Commission.
Additional space would be made available to the Human Rights
Commission with the hope of sharing among the departments in the
building, for copier expenses, secretarial help, etc. James Boyd,
Director of the Human Rights Commission, stated that the Commission
had reviewed the plan and are willing to move forward on
implementation.
A significant cost will be the conversion of the elevator to meet
the requirements of the Americans ' with Disabilities Act. Ms.
Collett will be applying for federal funding for the modification.
Given the time needed to make the necessary remodeling changes in
elevator repairs, we may be requesting that the Housing Authority
continue to occupy the space at the Chamber possibly until January
1 , 1994 . It was noted that the City Council will be considering
the cancellation of the Housing Management agreement with the
Chamber of Commerce at this evening' s meeting.
Ms . Collett updated the council on the Family Self-Sufficiency
project by noting four of six lots have been purchased by the
Housing Authority. The administrative plan is still being
developed and bids for construction of the homes should be let
sometime in July 1993 .
It was moved by Wright, seconded by Lemke that the above discussion
be received, placed on file and referred to the full City Council
for action. Motion carried.
It was noted that the ADA Compliance Commission is working to
provide accessibility to the East Side Library once renovation for
the Housing Authority is completed. Flinn, Saito, Anderson, DeVore
Architects have been engaged to prepare a specific proposal for an
elevator or chair lift at a fee not to exceed $1000. The second
phase will be the design and bid stage and bid letting for said
project. Initial cost of renovation of the elevator is $75, 000;
however, no funds will be expended from the general fund for said

Building & Grounds Committee
March 22, 1993
5: 00 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Members present: Chairperson Budak, Wright, Lemke.
Moved by Wright, seconded by Lemke that the agenda, as proposed, be
approved. Motion carried.
Mayor Manning stated that the purpose of the meeting was to assess
his recommendation that smoking be banned in all City buildings due
to the receipt of a petition containing the names of over 70
employees who would prefer that City Hall become smoke free. The
City Attorney' s office has advised the Mayor that he has the
authority to implement a smoking ban within City buildings. This
request was being brought to the Building & Grounds Committee as is
appropriate for all other issues relating to City buildings. The
possibility of extending the smoking ban to the Convention Center
and ice facility, when constructed, was also discussed. The Mayor
recommended that May 1, 1993 be targeted for implementation. The
Mayor has spoken with Sue Fangman, Insurance Coordinator, who has
advised that the City would be willing to participate in a stop
smoking class for employees so willing. The Mayor also recommended
that this ban also be extended to City vehicles. The Mayor stated
that he wished to be pro-active in settling this issue even though
the State may soon mandate it for public buildings.
Councilperson Lemke stated that it appears that smoking bans will
become a reality. Councilperson Wright suggested that the City
wait on implementation. Councilperson Budak stated that he did not
have a problem with the smoking ban if areas were designated within
City Hall for smoking. Ventilation problems could occur unless a
separate ventilation system was designed for a specific area.
It was noted that the Library Board and other autonomous
commissions would rule on their own smoking policies.
Police Lieutenant Roger Shook spoke in favor of a smoking ban
noting that as a non-smoker, it is very offensive to work in smoke
filled corridors, hallways and offices.
Chief Koehrsen suggested that an exemption be provided for suspects
in limited cases.
Councilperson Dell warned that such a ban could ultimately lead to
further problems and urged members to carefully consider the
ramifications prior to implementation of a ban.
It was the general consensus that the Mayor be given authorization
to proceed with implementation of a smoking ban in City buildings
and vehicles.
With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was
adjourned at 5: 25 p.m.

The request of the City Planner for authorization to seek request
for proposals for sale of Disposal Parcels 355E and 358D located at
the intersection of Ninth and Washington Streets was discussed.
Said parcels (formerly LeRoy' s DX and Bader Realtors) were
purchased from the Iowa Department of Transportation in 1991 in
conjunction with the Relocated U.S. Highway 218 project and are
valued at approximately $69,000. Planning and Zoning would like to
combine the two parcels into one disposal parcel. The
proposed
development site would be zoned "C-1" Commercial District and the
primary criteria would be the quality of the development. After
review by staff and the Design Review Board, said proposals would
be brought back to the full Council for approval.
Moved by Lemke, seconded by Wright that authorization be given to
seek requests for proposals for said Disposal Parcels 355E and

The first item of business was the proposed city-wide maintenance
program and the opportunity to fill the position of maintenance
assistant created by the recent resignation of Jim Oberle,
Maintenance Engineer at the Waterloo Recreation & Arts Center.
With the assistance of and under the direction of Leonard Zmolek,
City Hall Building Maintenance Supervisor, and Mitch Bond, the new
position of maintenance assistant will be responsible for the
maintenance of city hall and annexes, Five Sullivan Brothers
Convention Center, Library, Recreation Center, advisory maintenance
on McElroy Auditorium and swimming pools. In the future, this
maintenance division could be increased to accommodate the addition
of other city buildings. A charge back system will be created so
that the time of these individuals will be costed out to the
appropriate work areas. It was noted that the maintenance
assistant position' s salary will be approximately $12,000 less than
what is being paid to Mr. Oberle. Jim Rodemeyer, Personnel
Director, noted that the issue of paying Mr. Oberle ' s accumulated
overtime has not been resolved.

given authorization to proceed with the establishment of a city-
wide maintenance program and to authorize the appointment of a
maintenance assistant, Randy Shephard. Motion carried.
