Leon Begay, 204 Baltimore Street, Housing Advocate, spoke to the council regarding tenant rights
and unlawful evictions, asking the council to investigate cases of retaliation by landlords for
reporting landlords to the Building Inspectors.
Council member Grieder addressed the council to congratulate the city for receiving the Iowa
Environmental Council First Communities Champion award to be presented on November 10, 2022,
in Des Moines, Iowa, for work on climate change and climate justice. Mr. Grieder reported there
will be a constituents forum October 18 at the Waterloo Public Library. Mr. Grieder expressed the
council needs to consider implementing rental ordinance measures to punish landlords who are
violating state landlord/tenant laws in the City of Waterloo to assure fair and equitable renting
conditions.
Mayor Hart commented the City will also need to work with Black Hawk County to assist with
prosecution/convictions of the landlords to support the ordinance.
Council member Boesen questioned the agreement with U.S. Cellular to maintain a flag on the cell
tower at Washington Street as the design of the tower has been changed. Mr. Boesen hopes the

have been stalled for months.

conference and commented on the numerous compliments on the improvements in the city and to
keep moving forward and continuing to grow. Mr. Chiles thanked citizens for attending the Ward

Clerk to execute said documents", be adopted. Roll call vote -Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, questioned if the City owned the property and why are we buying it
back.
Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Agreement explained the city will be entering
into a development agreement with KL Properties, that the City does not own the property it is owned
by Harold Youngblut. 1.5 acres is being purchased with .5 acres going towards this project and the
remaining acre being used for future development.
Mayor Hart questioned partnership and development with Deer Creek.
Noel Anderson explained infrastructure development and partnership with Youngblut of the
Greyhound Park area.
Forrest Dillavou, 1715 Huntington Road, questioned why the city would buy back land they previously
owned and continue to pour money into the business at 10% interest, with an agreement that doesn't
exist. Mr. Dillavou also questioned timeline for items being added to the agenda after the Wednesday
deadline.
Mayor Hart commented the council is dedicated to the citizens and takes exception to Mr. Dillavou's
comments.
Noel Anderson explained the City has never owned the property. Mr. Youngblut purchased the
property and the City is buying it from him @ $4.00 per square foot compared to market rates for
commercially developed lots @ $6-8.00 per square foot. He further explained the amortization
schedule is 3% interest not 10%.
Council member Boesen questioned if $30,000.00 on a $270,000.00 note over 6 years is 3% interest.
Mr. Anderson confirmed with the amortization schedule this is correct.
Mr. Boesen questioned payment totals to the company in the council communication.
October 3, 2022 Page 9
Mr. Anderson confirmed the total was an error and referenced the other acquisition amount.
Mr. Boesen questioned if the tax rebates were going back to Mr. Youngblut on this note up to 100%,
until the City enters into a development agreement with KL Properties.
Mr. Anderson confirmed that Development Agreement will be on the agenda for October 17, 2022
council meeting.
Mr. Boesen explained he is frustrated with items being placed on the agenda last minute that prohibits
council members from reviewing information adequately and feeling forced into voting uniformed.
Council member Nichols requested a review of the current tax vs. developed revenue.
Mr. Anderson explained the property is currently zoned as Ag land so the taxes are minimal as opposed
to post development at a minimum value of $220,000.00.
Council member Amos explained his experience as a council member is that unplanned items come
up and members need to be flexible and make the choice to continue to review, approve and move
items forward for the betterment of the community as a whole.
Mr. Boesen commented he is flexible and he supports growth but that he also supports Title 1 and
receiving agenda items in a timely manner and asked that the departments make an effort to do a better
job in getting items moved to the council and to the citizens in a timely fashion.
Council member Chiles thanked Mr. Anderson for explaining why this item was an exception but
asked that in the future he contact the Council and inform and explain to them why an item would be
submitted late, possibly avoiding this discussion in the future.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2022-633.

Clerk to execute said documents", be adopted. Roll call vote -Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, still doesn't understand why we are buying a piece of property from
someone and paying them back for it.
Council member Nichols asked for clarification with regards to TIF payments for the purchase.
October 3, 2022 Page 10
Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Director, explained the city is not buying the
property and also giving Youngblut the TIF monies, that it is all the same funds. Everything will be
paid through the annual revenues of the TIF district. Anderson further explained this TIF district has
been operating since 1997 with a 20-year time frame which has been released and the TIF district
expanded for further projects.
Mayor Hart questioned what was on the property prior to Mr. Youngblut purchasing the property.

TIF and property and partnerships with businesses on the north side of highway 63 were added later
for construction and development.
