Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Councilperson Clark stated Vandewalle & Associates has helped the city
considerably in the past in the development of the Riverfront Renaissance plan,
and he would like to continue that relationship. Councilperson Clark asked if
there is some accounting the city could receive from Vandewalle & Associates as
we move forward to demonstrate to the council where the money goes.
Don Temeyer, Community Planning and Development Director, responded that would
be allowable under our contract with Vandewalle & Associates. Mr. Temeyer
stated that there is a committee consisting of council members and the Waterloo
Development Corporation. Vandewalle & Associates will be involved in the
development of the east side housing initiative and the riverfront housing.
Efforts to find a developer to construct a retail building on the pedestrian
plaza will be part of Vandewalle's continued involvement in the project. Mr.
Temeyer stated that Vandewalle's product will be better if the council is
involved. Mr. Temeyer stated that without Vandewalle & Associates contract and
original master plan, the city would not be moving forward with the Vision Iowa
Plan. Vandewalle & Associates came up with the amendment to the Master Plan to
include the Cedar Valley Tech Work project.
