carried.
117815 - This being the time and place of notice of public hearing, the Mayor called for
written and oral objections.
Nancy Eckert, City Clerk, reported that an e-mail was received from the members
and families of Jim Hoffman Construction L.C. and Associates in opposition to
the sale of this property to Blake Development Corporation. Mayor Rooff
reported that the e-mail states that Hoffman Construction feels they were not
treated fairly and were not given the information they needed to be successful
in this venture.

Construction L.C. be received and placed on file. Ayes: Seven. Motion

117816 - Dave Odekirk, 531 Commercial Street and speaking on behalf of Don Blake, asked
the council to proceed with the vote to approve the sale of the property as
approved by the Building & Grounds Committee. Mr. Odekirk stated there was
ample time to get bids as the city sent letters to approximately 40 contractors
in September 2002 regarding the property and the process proceeded. In January
2003 Mr. Blake submitted a proposal to the Building & Grounds Committee, the
proposal was approved and forwarded to the council for public hearing. Mr.
Odekirk stated that Mr. Blake was the only one to submit a conforming bid.
After approval was already granted, a bid was received from Mr. Hoffman, which
did not conform to the city's criteria. Mr. Odekirk stated if the council
doesn't approve Blake's bid, his bid is now p is and other contractors in

the area know Blake's bid and can use it to come up with a counter bid. Mr.
Odekirk stated to allow someone at the last minute to submit a bid undercuts
the fairness of the process and will work against the city to get contractors
to bid on property. Mr. Odekirk asked the council to approve Mr. Blake's bid,
which was already approved by the Building & Grounds Committee and is still the
only conforming bid.
Jim Hoffman, 1621 Easton Avenue, stated he believes his letters and e-mail
express his views and how they feel they have been treated. Mr. Hoffman stated
that Planning and Zoning staff has his bid.
Getty/Jordan
that the hearing be closed and oral and written comments be received and placed
on file. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
117817 - Councilperson Jordan stated that a public hearing is a hearing to hear all the
comments, and the council can change their mind. Councilperson Jordan stated
the process began on September 13, 2002, and the city received an offer from
Koch Construction in the amount of $40,000.00, and we rejected that bid. Now
we have an offer of $15,000.00 and we are doing the same thing. Councilperson
Jordan stated there is no clear cut reason in the whole process, but the city
has since adopted a policy. Councilperson Jordan stated he does not see how it
would be unfair to go the bidding process. Councilperson Jordan stated he
feels the fairest thing would be to set a date for bids and advertise the
property in the paper. Councilperson Jordan stated he does not feel we should
limit bidding to just these two people.
Councilperson Getty stated he is a member of the Building & Grounds Committee
and voted affirmative to accept Blake's proposal, but now feels we have a
situation which is not Blake or Hoffman's fault. Councilperson Getty stated
the council should open Mr. Hoffman's bid so each will know what the other bid,
then reject both bids and put the property out for public, sealed bids.
Councilperson Welper stated that he believes Mr. Hoffman, by his own admission,
does not have all the figures in his bid, and that taxes were required in Mr.
Blake's bid and not Hoffman's bid.
Don Temeyer, City Planner, stated that after the council rejected all the bids,
the Building & Grounds Committee instructed staff to bring back any bid which
included 90 percent of the property value or pay back in taxes. Mr. Temeyer
stated that the council then developed and adopted a policy on the sale of
property, and Mr. Blake submitted a proposal meeting the criteria of the
policy.
Councilperson Jordan asked if the city advertised for bids on the property.
Mr. Temeyer responded that the city did not advertise for bids. Mr. Blake's
offer was presented to the Building & Grounds Committee and that proposal was
forwarded to the full council.
Councilperson Greenwood stated he feels the only fair thing to do is rebid the
property.
Councilperson Hurley asked if there was a shutoff date when the city would no
longer accept bids. Mr. Temeyer responded there was not a shut off date as
staff thought they were suppose to find someone who met the new criteria. Mr.
Temeyer stated this does not mean people can't object at the hearing.
Getty/Jordan
that all bids be rejected and the city rebid the sale of the property.
Prior to a vote on the above motion , the following comments were heard.
Councilperson Welper stated he has concerns as to whether Mr. Blake will even
be interested in bidding again.
Councilperson Hurley agreed with Councilperson Welper and stated if we are
going to throw out Mr. Blake's bid then we should open up Mr. Hoffman's bid so
everyone knows each bid.
Hurley/Kincaid
that the motion be amended to include opening Mr. Hoffman's bid. Ayes: Six.
Nays: Welper. Motion carried.

and placed on file. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
117820 - This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for written
and oral objections and there were none.
Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer, gave a power point presentation on
the FYE 2004 Budget, which included the following topics: mission statement,
top strategic priorities as defined by mayor and council, who pays property
taxes, how are property taxes calculated, valuation trends, how the tax levy is
set, special tax levies used by the city, how a tax bill is determined, where
property tax dollars go, what the city uses the property tax dollar for, and do
property taxes pay all the city's expenses. Ms. Weidner reviewed the General
Fund which is primarily funded by property taxes and is used to fund police and
fire protection, library, parks, Cultural & Arts activities, Planning & Zoning,
Building Inspections, Airport, Mayor, City Council and other administrative
functions. Ms. Weidner reviewed the Debt Service Fund, which is funded
primarily by property taxes and is used to administer payments for
indebtedness. Mr. Weidner reviewed property taxes collected from 1994 which
was $25.4 million through 2004 which is $30.8 million. Property tax
collections increased an average of 2.1 percent annually during this period.
Ms. Weidner reviewed property tax levy trends from FY 1994 through FYE 2004.
Ms. Weidner reviewed the sewer fund which is funded by user fees. The council
voted for a sewer increase so that budget is balanced. The garbage fund is
also funded by user fees. Ms. Weidner reported there has been no garbage rate
increase since 1992. When the city instituted volume based garbage rates in
1995 the smallest can actually decreased the monthly fee. Ms. Weidner reported
that the council has many alternatives on the table for the garbage fund. Ms.
Weidner reviewed the Road Use Tax which is funded by state fuel taxes. Ms.
Weidner reported that the State has forecast declining revenues, but this year
the revenues are coming in as projected and that fund is balanced and healthy.
Ms. Weidner reviewed the Local Option Tax Fund which is funded by the one cent
sales tax. Ms. Weidner reported that $72 million has been spent since the
local option tax was adopted in 1992. Ms. Weidner reviewed the Community
Development/Housing budget which is primarily funded with federal grants and is
used for home rehabilitation, administration of federal rental assistance
program and administration of Renew Waterloo Housing program. Ms. Weidner
reviewed employment within the city since 1995. Employment in the city reached
a high of 567.5 employees in 1998, with 525.5 positions funded for FYE 2004.
Ms. Weidner reported that the FYE 2004 Budget presented has a tax levy rate of
$18.91 per one thousand dollars of assessed valuation.
Clark/Jordan
that the hearing be closed and oral and written comments be received and placed
on file. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
117821 - Jordan/Clark
that "Resolution approving Fiscal Year 2004 Budget with a tax levy rate of
$18.91 per one thousand dollars of assessed valuation", be adopted.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Councilperson Hurley stated he supports the budget and appreciates all of Mayor
Rooff and staff's work this year. Councilperson Hurley stated he would like to
massage the numbers within the budget and asked that council work sessions
continue to discuss this budget as a body.
Councilperson Jordan applauded Mayor Rooff and all Department Heads.
Mayor Rooff thanked Ms. Weidner and her staff and Department Heads. Mayor
Rooff stated the Department Heads submitted budget which makes it easier for
him and council members, but harder for them.

8155(43) -99-07, Contract No. 667, be received and placed on file and
"Resolution approving said agreement", be adopted and Mayor and City Clerk
authorized to execute same.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Dave Nagle, speaking on behalf of citizens who retained him, stated there is
substantial opposition to this project. Mr. Nagle stated the city always says
this is just another step and there will be a public hearing, and he feels this
is an appropriate time to set a public hearing. Mr. Nagle asked if the council
fully appreciates the direction we are going. Mr. Nagle stated he saw that the
city is going to develop Logan Plaza, is looking at downtown development, the
traffic problem at Crossroads has not been solved, we haven't discussed Hammond
Avenue or funding for the Vision Iowa project. Mr. Nagle stated he has unease
when one city official has a financial stake to see this project completed.
Mr. Nagle asked if we push to the south side of the city what will happen to
the north side and downtown. Mr. Nagle asked the council to stop and back off
the project and give the community an opportunity to have a public hearing.
Mr. Nagle urged the council to consider carefully this project as its away from
the council's priorities and death to the north side, east side, downtown,
Crossroads and Hammond Avenue. Mr. Nagle applauded the council for the budget
adopted this evening as it is a bare bone budget. Mr. Nagle stated the council
increased sewer rates by 14 percent and is looking at a garbage rate increase
and asked where will the council come up with funds for the City Attorney's
project.
Mark Higley, 2048 West 4th Street and Vice President of VGM, offered the
commitment from Van G Miller. Mr. Higley reported that VGM broke ground at its
location in 1997 with 40 employees and now they have 350 employees. Mr. Higley
stated that VGM is committed to the city and to grow these numbers, but for VGM
to continue its commitment they are very interested in completion of this
interchange. Mr. Higley stated the interchange will not only help VGMs
employment growth but the city's tax base will increase. Mr. Higley stated
eight years is long enough, and VGM is pleased to see the preliminary design is
available and asked the council to please consider this project.
Harold Andrews, 3346 Doral Drive, stated he has been opposed to the interchange
since the start. Mr. Andrews stated there are more important things in this
community. The 11th Street bridge is not heavy enough to carry truck traffic,
and we need a different bridge. Mr. Andrews stated the council is talking
about a bridge on 18th Street that goes nowhere. Mr. Andrews stated this is not
progress, and he is against proceeding with the Ansborough Avenue interchange.
Mr. Andrews stated the interchange is only good for VGM, it will increase
traffic, nothing is planned for stop lights on Ansborough Avenue and there will
be trucks traveling from Ansborough Avenue to Highway 63.
A resident at 1925 Westchester stated the interchange will ease travel for some
employees and a couple of businesses, but asked how much will we benefit for
property taxes. He asked how the council can justify using taxes for this
project.

Properties LLC to allow access to the former Construction Machinery Company
(CMC) properties for appraising, surveying, environmental evaluation and
testing on the site be received, placed on file and "Resolution approving said
agreement", be adopted and Mayor and City Clerk authorized to execute same.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Councilperson Hurley stated that the third paragraph of the City Planner's
letter mentions contaminated portion of the property and asked if the property
is contaminated.
Don Temeyer, Community Planning & Development Director, responded we know that
the property is contaminated and surveying, evaluation and testing on the site
will tell us how much and if we want to get involved in developing the property
or turn the property over to the federal government.
Councilperson Hurley stated that the letter to John Holtz from Jim Walsh dated
February 21, 2003, states the city will bare all costs associated with further
assessment and testing of environment conditions on the premises and asked if
the city should further define premises as Lot 2. Dave Zellhoefer, Assistant
City Attorney, responded we could legally describe the property to clarify the
property.
Councilperson Hurley asked if there is an issue on the rent, and that the
letter dated February 25, 2003 from Stewart & Bourque states certain
outstanding property tax obligations are accruing interest at 24 percent.
Councilperson Hurley asked if Glenwood Properties is going to pay the taxes and
the city will reimburse them. Mr. Temeyer responded yes and then the city will
put the property up for sale and ask for proposals. We will be looking for
some type of light industrial business as we cannot clean it up for residential
use. Councilperson Hurley asked why would Glenwood Properties pay the taxes
and then the city would reimburse them. Mr. Temeyer responded because someone
could purchase the property and get 24 percent.
Councilperson Getty stated this agreement is to gain access so we can check for
contamination and does not split the property into parcels 1 and 2. Mr.
Temeyer stated the agreement is to give us access to the property to test for
contamination.

result. Ayes: Seven.
