Chiles/Wilder
David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, questioned if the city gave the land to WDC.
Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Director, shared that WDC has never
owned the land and provided an overview of the project.
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, commented that the WDC gets a lot of their money
from gaming, and they come to the city and county for more money. This is not good for the
taxpayers.
Jim Miller, WDC, explained that this is a $35 million dollar project, and they currently have
$26,618,00 raised through previous fundraising efforts. This amount would put them just above
$36 million, and if approved tonight, he will apply for a community attraction and tourism grant
with the IEDA. He shared that they are currently in the community working on raising the
remaining $3.5 million. WDC is contributing $8 million to this project.
Mayor Hart shared that it would be good to have Vandewalle and Associates along with WDC
give an update to the city council soon. He asked if Mr. Miller could provide an update on other
projects they have helped to fund in downtown Waterloo.
Jim Miller share other projects they have been involved in, such as the SportsPlex which was
roughly $27 million, donated just over $1 million to the 4th Street pedestrian bridge lighting,
among many others.
Mayor Hart shared that he heard a comment that suggested that someone at WDC is getting
rich off of these projects from the partnership with the City.
Jim Miller commented that the WDC board is all volunteers and several board members pay to
sit on the board. So our board members contribute roughly $70,000 per year to pay for general
WDC operating and consulting contracts.
Mr. Boesen questioned where the $4million would be coming from.
Noel Anderson shared that the funding would come from the Downtown TIF District.
Page 11 of 13
Mr. Boesen questioned how long the city could keep taking from this well and sited many
projects that are also using TIF funds and feels like we may be upside down.
Noel Anderson shared that everything that was mentioned has been approved by the council
and is already accounted for, so there is actually $1.6 million after paying back bonds and the
Courier building.
A discussion followed.
Mayor Hart commented that the broader conversation is about potential projects for the future.
Mr. Chiles commented that the economic impact on the city of Waterloo would be $16 million
per year, which translates directly to our general fund. He asked for a work session on what is
available in each of the TIF Districts.
Mr. Boesen shared his concern over the $1.8M of undisclosed properties that this council had
already discussed that we were not going to pursue.
Mayor Hart thanked council for their comments, and WDC for putting the project together and
the economic impact it will have on the City.

are unable to use the online technology, an animal control officer will come to their home and
help them sign up.
