113329 - This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for written
and oral objections.
Joe Meany stated that he was one of the owners of the 4 acre lake by the
trailer park. Mr. Meany commented that he thought the deal was done, and that
it is very rare to get a second opportunity to object to the vacation. Mr.
Meany stated that the amount of water is not going to slow down. Mr. Meany
stated that he spoke with Noel Anderson in the Planning Department, and Mr.
Anderson told him that the engineering goes back to the 60s. Mr. Meany stated
that he bought the pond with the idea to build a home on the pond and be able
to control the amount of runoff. Mr. Meany commented that the developers will
put 60 to 70 percent of asphalt on the land. Mr. Meany stated that there is a
tremendous amount of problems from the present trailer court. Mr. Meany stated
that they say this is single family development, but it is still a commercial
development. Mr. Meany stated that he is asking the council to really look at
this, and that he wants to stop anything further from happening.
Don Temeyer, City Planner, stated that the reason we are holding another
hearing on this vacation is because the attorney for the development asked that
the process be repeated to officially serve other plat property owners and to
have two publication notices 14 days apart prior to the public hearing. Mr.
Temeyer stated that Mr. Meany purchased the property from bankruptcy court.
Bruce Radue stated that his firm did the engineering for the manufactured
homes. Mr. Radue stated that this is the second time the city council has
addressed the drainage situation. Mr Radue stated that private property
discharges into the existing lake, and it was not designed for a retention
pond. Mr. Radue stated that the lake is not part of the vacation and there are
easements and storm sewer for drainage. Mr. Radue commented that the system is
designed to work right.

District for reuse of the Greyhound Park for construction of a racetrack
facility, as published in the Waterloo Courier on January 26, 2000, be received
and placed on file. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
113340 - This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for written
and oral objections.
Councilperson Murphy stated that when this item comes to vote if the council
approves the site plan per the recommendation of the Planning, Programming and
Zoning Commission, it does not take a super majority vote of the council, but
if we change Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission's recommendation, it
will take a super majority of the council.
Judy McVey, General Manager of National Cattle Congress, stated that all the
reports that were asked for are back and they feel they are very favorable.
Ms. McVey noted that the National Cattle Congress wants to make Waterloo a
tourist destination. Ms. McVey stated that a final business plan will be put
together by the National Cattle Congress after approval by the city. Ms. McVey
stated that the National Cattle Congress would like to assure everyone that
they want to be good neighbors. Ms. McVey stated that the National Cattle
Congress plans to follow the recommendation in the studies with two exceptions.
The plan mentions a 3 foot wall all around the track, but the National Cattle
Congress would need an opening so they can get cars in and out. Ms. McVey
commented that the National Cattle Congress agrees with limiting events to one
night per week except that an extra day of racing would be allowed on holidays.
Ms. McVey stated that the National Cattle Congress would like to have the
option to have an asphalt or dirt track and let the investors make their
choice.
Tom Taucher, 1822 Partridge Lane, stated that our forefathers ruled that the
purpose of government is to improve the life of citizens. Mr. Taucher stated
that putting racetrack in a quiet neighborhood is a nuisance. Mr. Taucher
stated that according to the National Cattle Congress, 1,800 people will attend
the races, and generate $2.1 million dollars annually, but he believes 1,000
fans attending the races would come from this city. Mr. Taucher questioned if
it is legal for the city to sell land without public bids.
Jim Walsh, City Attorney, stated that the city frequently sells land without
bids, and it is legal.
Mr. Taucher stated that the second part of the report by Markin, Coffeen,
Fricke & Associates is a business plan for the National Cattle Congress, and
that this part was hard to get a hold of. Mr. Taucher asked why the city paid
for a business plan for the National Cattle Congress.
Mayor Rooff stated that the consultant informed the city that the report
included the impact on the property and the business plan for the same prices
no matter what. Mayor Rooff told Mr. Taucher that it should not have been hard
to get a copy of the business plan and that no one was trying to hide anything.
Mr. Taucher asked if it was legal for a member of the National Cattle Congress
to vote on this issue as a city council member.
Mayor Rooff stated that Councilperson Getty will not vote on this issue
tonight. Mayor Rooff stated that Councilperson Getty did vote on the motion to
send the site plan amendment back to the Board of Adjustment and Planning and
Zoning.
Mr. Walsh stated that the Iowa Code does not state what is or isn't a conflict.
Mr. Walsh stated that Councilperson Getty sits on the National Cattle Congress
Board without compensation, and whether this is a conflict would be up to the
courts.

Mr. Taucher asked by State Code how many realtors can sit on the Board of
Adjustment. Mr. Walsh stated that he would have to research that question.
Krizek/Gronen
that the petitions of support and opposition be received and placed on file.
Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
113341 - Jordan/Gronen
that the hearing be closed and recommendation of approval of the Planning,
Programming and Zoning Commission and oral and written comments be received and
placed on file.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Councilperson Getty stated that he has been asked several times by the National
Cattle Congress to have the option of a dirt track. Councilperson Getty
stated that he would like to voice his opinion. The National Cattle Congress
has worked very hard for the last year and a half to do something with the dog
track. Councilperson Getty stated that the National Cattle Congress has been
through all the hoops and loops that they have been asked to do. Councilperson
Getty asked the council not to tie the hands of the National Cattle Congress
and let them succeed in racing. Councilperson Getty stated that the National
Cattle Congress should have the right to choose between dirt or asphalt, and
that dust has no maintenance with watering. Councilperson Getty stated that 90
percent of drivers in Black Hawk County are dirt drivers and not asphalt.
Councilperson Getty stated that he represents the citizens as a member of the
National Cattle Congress and the constituents of the city as a council member.
Councilperson Getty stated that the calls he has received from the citizens of
Waterloo support the race track.
Following discussion, a vote was taken on the above motion with the following
result. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
113342 - Anders/Gronen
that "Resolution approving said site plan with the option of the owner/operator
to determine surface of the track", be adopted.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Councilperson Jordan stated that he is for this motion subject to a lot of
people feel things were hidden on this dirt track. Councilperson Jordan stated
that Mr. Klingaman said that the idea would be hard surfaced only.
Councilperson Jordan stated that the minutes from the meetings of the Board of
Adjustments, Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and City Council
basically say the same thing. Councilperson Jordan stated that now all of a
sudden they want the option of a dirt track, and he has a problem with the way
this was presented to the citizens.
Councilperson Getty stated that If Mr. Klingaman had his way, it would be hard
surfaced, but he only has one vote, the rest of the board wants the choice.
Councilperson Getty stated that the constituents have asked for a dirt track
and that is why it was brought before the council. Councilperson Getty stated
that the National Cattle Congress has to observe the rest of the requirements.
Councilperson Gronen stated that he has the same concerns as Councilperson
Jordan, and he is concerned that the proposed business plan was not brought to
the council as a unit. Councilperson Gronen stated that he has received more
calls from people interested in the dirt track than those opposed to racing in
general.
Councilperson Murphy asked if Mr. Klingaman did not have authority of the
National Cattle Congress why did he indicate that he had the backing of the
National Cattle Congress to represent the board.
Councilperson Getty asked the council to vote their conscience and do what the
people of Waterloo want. Councilperson Getty stated that he doesn't want a
race track out there that is going to be blacktop with no spectators.
Councilperson Getty stated lets uncuff the Cattle Congress board and let them
get started out there.
Don Temeyer, City Planner, stated that the noise study indicated there would be
no significant difference between dirt and asphalt.

HEARINGS CONTINUED
Councilperson Anders stated that that nine out of ten persons he talked to want
racing. Councilperson Anders stated that a call he received today, the man
wanted to take his kids out there, people want to take their families out
there. Councilperson Anders stated that we always hear there is nothing to do
in Waterloo and here is an opportunity to put something out there.
Councilperson Anders stated that the people he represents want a dirt track or
want to give the National Cattle Congress an opportunity to determine if they
want a dirt track. Councilperson Anders stated that the possibility of a dirt
track has been discussed at every meeting, at the Board of Adjustment and the
Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission. Councilperson Anders stated that
he thinks the city needs to take off the restrictions to give them a chance to
succeed. Councilperson Anders stated that this city council and city are not
in the stock car business, we are just to approve the site plan. Councilperson
Anders stated that the National Cattle Congress would be in business and not
the city unless the National Cattle Congress violates the covenant.
Councilperson Anders stated that he recommends to allow the owner/operator to
determine the track surface so that they have a chance to succeed.
Mayor Rooff stated that he thinks the city council feels they have done
everything they can with the economic and sound study. Mayor Roof stated that
the dirt track raises the question why was it not up front, and that there
never was a time that we addressed dirt. Mayor Roof stated that he thinks the
citizens of this community want racing badly, but we need to keep everyone
informed from the get go.
Following discussion a vote was taken on the above motion with the following
result. Ayes: Five. Nays: Murphy. Abstain. Getty.
