NEW BUSINESS
1 . Bird control for city facilities in downtown area--Waterloo
Redevelopment Authority.
Dave Van Dee, Director of the Waterloo Redevelopment Authority,
stated that presently there are approximately 2, 000 to 3 , 000
pigeons at any one time on the Fifth Street bridge in downtown
Waterloo. He stated that there is also concern for the bird
problem at the Waterloo Public Library and the Five Sullivan
Brothers Convention Center. Van Dee continued that the Waterloo
Redevelopment Authority and the Clerk/Auditor's Office, along
with the Library Director and the Director of the Convention
Center, would like to recommend a bird control measure of
displacing and not allowing the birds to roost on the various
locations. Van Dee stated that they would recommend netting the
super structure around the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention
Center, that Roost No More placed on the top of the Convention
Center and Library and also netting of the trees around both
facilities. Concern has been expressed by the Waterloo Humane
Society regarding disposing of pigeons on the Fifth Street bridge
through use of poison.
Tom Colvin of the Waterloo Humane Society stated that a more
humane way of reducing the pigeon population is through chemical
birth control. Colvin stated that he would be working with Dave
Van Dee to come up with a proposed solution for this problem.
Pictures were submitted of the Five Sullivan Convention Center
regarding the unsightly bird droppings around the Convention
Center.
Moved by Brown, seconded by Wright to allow the Director of the
Waterloo Redevelopment Authority to solicit bids for the control
of the bird population at the Waterloo Public Library, the Five
Sullivan Brothers Convention Center and the Fifth Street bridge.
Motion carried.

and that rebidding probably would not yield a lower bid.
Moved by Brown, seconded by Fox that the Building & Grounds
Committee recommend that the Council award the bid to Don Gardner
Construction Co. for said project. Motion carried.
It was reported by the Planning and Development Director that
there were no bids received for the proposed exterior renovations
to the former East Side Library. As a result of this action, the
staff was given authorization to informally contract for
tuckpointing and window repair. Two bids to perform the masonry
repair work have resulted in receipt of the following estimates:

Schoonover Tuckpointing Co. , Inc. $22,000. 00
It was the recommendation of the project architect that the low
bid of Vernon Bascom Company be approved.
Moved by Brown, seconded by Fox that the Building & Grounds
Committee recommend that the City Council award the contract as
recommended. Motion carried.
The proposed occupancy contract with the Public Employees Credit
Union to occupy the basement of City Hall was reviewed. The most
significant change in the agreement is allowing a 180 day notice
to the Credit Union should the City require the space for other
City operations.

Committee recommend that the Council approve said occupancy
agreement. Motion carried.

approved. Motion carried.
Authorization to seek bids for exterior improvements to the
former East Side Library was reviewed. Work will consist of
repair to the windows, doors, masonry and steps. Due to the
lateness of the season, some of the painting on the windows may
not be completed until spring. This will be a formal bid letting
procedure with the Council holding a public hearing, which is
scheduled to be set this evening. The public hearing and bid
letting will be September 18. Moved by Fox, seconded by Brown
that authorization be given to proceed with said improvements.
Motion carried.
The request of the Public Works Director for authorization to
seek proposals for an asbestos consultant to do an inventory of
City buildings was reviewed. The study would include an
inventory of City buildings and a preliminary sampling program to
determine overall asbestos locations. A decision would be made
later as to developing a management plan and policy for each
building and location. Currently, as departments do remodeling
or renovating, it is necessary to obtain asbestos samples. A
decision will be made later, based upon the estimate, of whether
an inventory will be done of such structures as McElroy
Auditorium. After proposals are made, the Committee will be
apprised of the cost of the inventory phase of the process before
the consultant is allowed to begin work. It was moved by Brown,
seconded by Fox that authorization be given to proceed with said
inventory. Motion carried.

Members present: Chairperson Wright, Brown, Fox.
Moved by Brown, seconded by Fox that the Agenda, as proposed, be
approved. Motion carried.
Rick Tagtow, Director of Parks & Forestry, reiterated that the
Women' s Softball Association has agreed to participate in
one-half of the cost of road improvements (see minutes of July
10, 1989) . In addition, the Association has agreed to contribute
$25,000 to the parking lot. Since the July 17 Building & Grounds
Committee meeting, consideration has been given to including this
project in the Recycled Asphalt Program (RAP) . After
discussion, it was moved by Brown, seconded by Fox that
improvements to the Softball Association Complex lot and road be
included in the City' s RAP Program and cost be divided as
follows: $18,000 from City funds ( $3 ,000 from Park Department
bond fund and $15,000 from City funds) for the parking lot,
$15, 000 from the Road Use Tax Funds for the road improvements and
$40, 000 from the Softball Association for lot and road
improvements. Motion carried. Total cost of said improvements
is $73 , 000.
The request of the Clerk/Auditor to renovate the first floor of
City Hall was reviewed. Changes included in the plan are
enlarging the Mayor' s Office to include a small conference room
with the remaining portion of the Mayor' s conference room to be
used by the Personnel Department. The women' s breakroom would
become a conference room. The now "backroom" of the Clerk' s
Office would be converted to an additional space for the
Attorney' s Office and space for the parking meter attendants.
Additional office space would be provided in the Clerk/Auditor' s
Office along the Mulberry Street side of the building to include
the mailroom area. A considerable portion of the renovation
costs would be asbestos removal. Bids will be sought both on the
partial removal of asbestos as well as total removal. Since this
project may exceed $25,000, formal bids will be requested with
the City Council conducting a public hearing.
Moved by Brown, seconded by Fox that the Building & Grounds
Committee recommend to the City Council to proceed with said
renovation plans. Motion carried.
With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was

Members absent: Chairperson Wright.
Moved by Brown, seconded by Fox that the Agenda, as proposed, be
approved. Motion carried.
The request of Mike Havenstrite, District Director for the First
Judicial District Department of Correctional Services, was
reviewed. In March, 1988, the City of Waterloo sold property
located at the intersection of East Sixth and Mulberry Streets to
the First Judicial District for construction of a parking lot
north of and adjacent to the residential facility. Said
transaction was approved with a reversionary clause stipulating
that in the event that the property was not developed within one
year, the City would buy the property back at the original
purchase price. Since this time, the State Legislature has
appropriated funds for the construction of said project with
anticipated construction in the spring of 1990. It was the
recommendation of Dave Van Dee, Executive Director of the
Waterloo Redevelopment Authority, that the Building and Grounds
Committee recommend that the City Council amend the original
resolution of conveyance and grant an extension of time to August
1, 1990 to allow commencement of said development.
Moved by Brown, seconded by Fox that the Building & Grounds
Committee recommend to the City Council that said extension of
time be authorized. Motion carried.
The request of the Women' s Softball Association to participate in
the cost of parking lot improvements generally located west of
Burton Avenue was reviewed. Rick Tagtow, Director of Parks &
Forestry, indicated that it has been agreed with the Women' s
Softball Association that the City and the Association would
share equally in the cost of asphalting the road near the
Association' s complex. Total cost of said improvements is
$31,000 . City funds for this project would be allocated from the
Park Department bond proceeds. A parking lot adjacent to the
road is also in need of resurfacing. An estimate of $43,250 has
been obtained. The Softball Association has agreed to
participate in $25, 000 of this cost and is asking the City to
fund the remaining $18,000. Mr. Tagtow indicated that $3,000 can
be allocated from Park Department funds, but that the City must
fund the remaining $15, 000. The possible use of Road Use Tax
(RUT) Funds was discussed. Committee members questioned what
City projects would have to be alleviated in order to fund this
request if RUT Funds were used.
Moved by Brown, seconded by Fox that action be tabled for one
week to allow research on the question of the use of Road Use Tax
Funds as described above. Motion carried.
With no further business before the Committee, the meeting was

Deaf Services Commission of Iowa was reviewed. Larry P. Burger,
Clerk/Auditor, reported that Deaf Services currently occupies an
existing and unoccupied office in the former Health and
Sanitation offices in the basement of City Hall approximately one
day per week. The only cost to Deaf Services is telephone
charges, including one line charge, plus any long distance
charges. This has been an amicable relationship between both
parties, and he recommended that the Committee recommend approval
to the City Council.

Larry P. Burger, Clerk/Auditor, commented that several repairs to
unsafe conditions have been reviewed by the Building Maintenance
Supervisor. It has been recommended that the transformers which
are owned by IPS be relocated to an area outside of City Hall.
Currently, the transformers are located near voltage leads and
terminals to the passageway used by personnel servicing the
emergency generator in the basement of City Hall. It would then
be necessary to make the appropriate connections from the
relocated transformer to the main City Hall breaker (at City
expense) .
A second request was presented to seek quotes for changing the
circuitry of the City Hall emergency generators. A test was
recently conducted of generators within City Hall indicating the
need for these changes.
Moved by Brown, seconded by Wright that authorization be given to
seek quotes for wiring of relocated City Hall transformers.
Motion carried.

The request of the Planning and Development Director for
authorization for Flinn Saito Andersen & Robert Devoe
Architectural Firm to proceed with the preparation of plans and
specifications for the exterior improvements to the former East
Side Library was reviewed. A preliminary cost estimate has been
prepared at approximately $82, 000, which is subject to change.
These improvements are necessary because the windows are rapidly
deteriorating as well as the exterior masonry, steps and East
Fifth Street vestibule. These improvements will be necessary
regardless of whether or not any interior renovation is completed
for occupancy by City staff . Don Temeyer, Planning and
Development Director, stated that a space analysis is continuing
with Flinn Saito Andersen for the relocation of the Planning and
Development Division to the former East Side Library and the
occupancy by the Police Department of the second floor of City
Hall.
If approved, a contract with Flinn Saito Andersen will be drawn
and placed on the City Council agenda for approval.
Chairperson Wright reminded the committee that the Human Rights
move to City Hall was contingent upon eventual relocation to the
East Side Library. This issue, as well as the possible
relocation of the Planning and Development Division and expansion
of the Police Department, will be reviewed at a later time as a
space analysis study is completed.
Moved by Brown, seconded by Fox that authorization be given as
requested. Motion carried.
The request of the Building Maintenance Supervisor for the
purchase of two additional toilets for the Jail was reviewed. It

deregulation of telephones, the City must make a decision on the
long-distance carrier for pay telephones in public rights-of-way.
After much deliberation, the Clerk/Auditor' s Office has
recommended that Teleconnect be the long-distance carrier for
said telephones. Discussion was also heard on the relocation of
current pay telephones with the assistance of the Engineering
Department and Sign & Traffic Department. Greater use of the
telephones will assure the City increased revenues. Any changes
in telephone locations will be discussed with the Building &

Members present: Chairperson Wright, Brown and Fox.
Moved by Fox, seconded by Brown that the Agenda, as proposed, be
approved. Motion carried.
Larry P. Burger, Clerk/Auditor, reported that Bea Cannon, Manager
of the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center, has reported a
sanitary problem on the steps of the Five Sullivan Brothers
Convention Center due to bird droppings. It has been suggested
that eliminating the trees adjacent to the Convention Center may
eliminate this problem. Mayor McKinley reported that the Park
Department is working on an overall landscaping plan for the Five
Sullivan Brothers Convention Center that would include shrubbery
and some plantings. He also stated that the Pin Oaks planted
adjacent to the Center are a short life-span tree and are not
expected to live much longer and also block the view of the
marquee at the Convention Center.
Donna Nelson voiced her concern with cutting the trees down and
that this would only be moving the problem from one location to
another. She suggested further investigation of the problem and
possibly using falcons as has been done in Cedar Rapids to
address the problem. Jan Guthrie reported the willingness of
Green Scene and other interested groups to do research and come
up with ideas to solve the problem.
Moved by Brown, seconded by Fox that said item be tabled to allow
further investigation of the problem, including review of the
landscaping plan as proposed by the Park Department. Motion
carried.
The relocation of the Human Rights Office from the Waterloo
Public Library was discussed. Bev Lind, Director of the Library,
stated that the library has an opportunity to rent the space
currently occupied by the Human Rights Commission to the Regional
Library. This would generate income from $5,000 to $10, 000 per
year for the library.
Councilperson Wright stated that she was not in favor of the
Human Rights Office moving to the Park Department offices
formerly located on the second floor of City Hall. Councilperson
Brown stated that in conversations with several community
members, he was of the impression that patrons of the Human
Rights Commission would not object to coming to City Hall. It
was also suggested that the former East Side Library be looked at
as a future location for the Human Rights Office. It was also
stated that the former Park Department offices are available to
the Commission at no cost. Councilperson Fox stated that the
Citizens ' Budget Review Committee has recommended on several
occasions the possibility of moving the Human Rights Office to
City Hall. He also stated that the space is now available and
would not cost additional taxpayer dollars. He further stated
that if this arrangement does not work, an alternative solution
could then be sought. Councilperson Dell stated that perhaps
space was available in other City buildings for the Human Rights
Office. It was stated that currently there is no other space
available.
B. J. Furgerson, Director of the Human Rights Commission, stated
that the original agreement with the Human Rights Commission was
that they would never be located in City Hall. She also stated
that there is a negative feeling of both black and white
low-income persons about coming into City Hall. She stated that
the former East Side Library would be a suitable location due to
the close proximity to City Hall, but it would not be located
within the City Hall structure. Councilperson Wright stated that
the East Side Ministerial Association does not favor the City
Hall location.
