119606 - Merrett Terrell, 1046 Independence Avenue, reported that he and his son were
deer hunting in the Dunkerton Creek area on November 13, 2004, and his son shot
a 26 -point buck. Mr. Terrell stated that people claiming to have shot the deer
actually drove up and took his son's deer as part of the fair game chase law.
Mr. Terrell stated the law needs to be looked at because he doesn't see how
they can consider that fair game chase. Mr. Terrell indicated he still has the
bloody arrow and would like to test the blood on the arrow with the deer, but
the DNR has said he has no right to test the deer. Mr. Terrell stated that guy
did not shoot the deer as he and his son tracked the deer on almost a run to
the gravel road and then lost the trail. Mr. Terrell commented he just wanted
people to know about this law, and the law needs to be changed.

119625 - This being the time and place of public hearing on violation by Waterloo
Convenience, formerly known as 3 Star Mart, 127 Jefferson Street, of City of
Waterloo Code of Ordinances Section 5 -2A -C, selling, giving or supplying any
tobacco, tobacco products or cigarettes to person under eighteen years of age,
the Mayor called for written and oral objections and there were none.
Tahir Tatla, owner of the business located at 127 Jefferson Street, explained
that the employee just started working on the day the violation notice was
issued. The employee checked the ID, but was nervous and mistakenly sold
cigarettes to an underage individual. Mr. Tatla asked the council to dismiss
the violation because it was training time for the new employee, and she was
nervous and under a lot of strain.
Councilperson Clark stated he sympathizes with Mr. Tatla, but unfortunately
when an employer hires someone, it is a tremendous responsibility to train
them. Councilperson Clark explained if sales are to someone under 18 years of
age, that is violation of state law, and the council cannot dismiss it because
of training. Councilperson Clark reported the state has training for new
employees and advised Mr. Tatla to send his employees to the training.
Nikole Blackledge, 207 Miriam Drive, explained that she pled guilty and paid
her fine and asked the council not to charge Mr. Tatla the civil penalty for
her mistake. Ms. Blackledge reported she did check the ID, but she
miscalculated.

HEARINGS CONTINUED
119628 - This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for written
and oral objections and there were none.
Don Temeyer, Community Planning and Development Director, reported that Pioneer
Graphics is planning a 9,600 square foot expansion. This request to expand
involves Pioneer Graphics purchasing nearby properties just north of the Gibson
Specialty site. They will be purchasing the former site of the Devil's Den,
which was demolished by the city as a dangerous building and a lien placed
against one of the lots. As part of this project the city would forgive the
$45,704.00 demolition lien and a weed lien. The Stevens Family Trust will
offer the property for $1.00 due to the forgiveness of the lien. This project
will meet the Sale of Property Guidelines policy for acquiring city property
because the expansion would pay the difference in taxes in the next eight
years.
Welper/Gunderson

Programming and Zoning Commission and oral comments be received and placed on

119649 - This being the time and place of public hearing on the proposed amendment to
the Comprehensive Plan to include updated Waterloo Downtown Redevelopment
Master Plan, the Mayor called for written and oral objections.
Merrett Terrell, 1046 Independence Avenue, asked if the plan went through
Vision Iowa or is this a sneaky way to bypass what the citizens want. Mr.
Terrell reported that by the railroad dam there is a big square opening on the
south wall of the river, and it looks like Christmas with all kinds of refuse
floating around. Mr. Terrell stated that the Cedar River is less than two feet
deep all downtown with a few deep holes. When people want to fish there are no
good accesses nor handicap accesses. Mr. Terrell stated he feels a city is
only as good as its water supply, and ours is now mud. Mr. Terrell explained
that he protested the Vision Iowa project standing in the Cedar River between
11th and 18th Streets.
Mayor Hurley explained that the Vision Iowa Board approved this plan and
awarded the funds to the city. Mayor Hurley stated that one of the first
places we will start is the river and the 18th Street Bridge and amenities on
I the river.
Mr. Terrell commended the city on its trail, but even the trails don't have
access to the river. Mr. Terrell stated that the citizens voted twice on the
gambling issue and voted it down, and then the gambling issue was brought back
to the citizens for a third time. People get tired of voting. Mr. Terrell
stated they all told the council don't do the Vision Iowa Project until we
clean the river.
Mayor Hurley responded that over 30,000 citizens voted on the gambling issue,
and the Cedar River will be addressed.
Don Temeyer, Community Planning and Development Director, reported that a
letter from Vanderwalle & Associates recommends removing the Community National
Bank from the Economic Expansion Zone.
