ORAL PRESENTATIONS
The Council of the City of Waterloo, Iowa, met for Oral Presentations at City
Hall Council Chambers, Waterloo, Iowa, at 6:50 p.m., on Monday, August 17, 1998.
Mayor John R. Rooff in the Chair. Roll Call: Getty, Murphy, Jordan, Anders,
Krizek. Absent: Collier.
110833 - Kathleen Ingalls, 1438 E. Dunkerton, reported that in December 1997 she had an
incident at another location where she owns property. Ms. Ingalls stated that
the tenants were notified by the city to clean up the property, they moved out
and she was never notified. Ms. Ingalls stated that she hired someone to clean
up the property and they brought in a dump truck. They were in the process of
removing the items from the property when a city crew arrived with an order to
clean up the property. The city crew climbed over the dump truck, proceeded to
remove the items from the property, and billed Ms. Ingalls $85.00 for their
services. The city crew informed Ms. Ingalls that the city attorney told them it
was okay for them to proceed with cleaning up the property although her hired
contractor was in the process of removing the items. Ms. Ingalls reported that
she has not paid the bill from the city.
Mayor Rooff requested the Superintendent of Sanitation & Recycling to investigate
and report back to his office.
Ms. Ingalls asked if the Waterloo Water Works has changed the deposit
requirements as the amount is insufficient to cover unpaid sewer and garbage
bills when tenants move from a home.
LaDonna Brousseau, 1902 Eric Avenue, stated that with the fires that have plagued
the Woodlawn Terrace area, she would like to request Mayor Rooff and
Councilperson Collier to walk through the neighborhood with her. Ms. Brousseau
and Fire Chief Magsamen have scheduled a walk through for Tuesday, August 18,
1998 at 2:00 p.m.., and she invited the council to join them.
Mayor Rooff stated that the police and fire departments are investigating the
arson fires that have occurred in the Woodlawn Terrace area.
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, questioned if the city is enforcing the
zoning laws equally throughout the city. Mr. Dillavou reported that there is a
gentleman on Dewitt Road who is operating a business in an area zoned for
agricultural use. Mr. Dillavou feels this gentleman is not in compliance with
the Zoning Ordinance.
Don Temeyer, City Planner, stated that the Planning Department is aware of the
situation, and staff is reviewing the location.
Roy Cain, 1751 Wakonda, presented a petition with 52 signatures requesting the
city enforce closing the gate at 10:30 p.m. on Donald Street to East Lake. Mr.
Cain reported that the sign says the park closes at 10:30 p.m., but he has never
seen the gate closed. Mr. Cain reported that the police department has increased
patrolling the area.

5:OO p.m.
Council Chambers
Members present: Mayor Rooff, Getty, Murphy, Anders, Krizek, Jordan.
Members absent: Collier.
Moved by Krizek, seconded by Getty that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Four.
Absent: Collier, Jordan. Motion carried.
Mayor Rooff reviewed the proposed Housing Code starting at Page 16, Sanitary Conditions.
This section has changed from the current ordinance. Under the proposed ordinance, the
performance requirement states that the interior and exterior property area shall be maintained in
sanitary conditions. A landlord questioned if this requirement should be addressed to the tenants.
Councilperson Anders stated that the Fire Department does not have a lot of enforcement power
over the tenant but does over the landlord. Fire Chief Frank Magsamen stated that Section 19-12
of the proposed ordinance does require tenant responsibility. Under Responsibilities Defined,
every owner and/or occupant remains liable for violations of duties upon him/her by the code.
Duane Eilers questioned why the city doesn't enforce the same for landlords and tenants and also
require the registration of the tenants as well as the landlords. It was suggested that any citation
should be directed to "occupant"
Under Sec. 19-20, Notices and Orders of Fire Chief, (b) (3)(a), the landlords requested that the
not to exceed 30 day requirement be changed to not to exceed 60 days in which all permits must
be secured and the work physically commenced.
Jordan now present at 5:15 p.m.
Discussion was heard regarding Sec. 19-20 (f), Transfer of Ownership. Mayor Rooff stated that
this section was included in the proposed ordinance because there are individuals who shuffle
property to avoid payment on taxes or doing any work on the homes. This section will prohibit
them from selling or transferring any structure in which they have received a notice of violation
until they have complied with the violation. It was decided that the words "mortgage" and
"lease" be removed from this section.
Duane Eilers stated that this section will not stand up in a court of law. Citizens can buy or sell
property whether its condemned or not.
Mayor Rooff stated that this administration is just trying to clean up the city. Councilperson
Krizek stated that this council ran on putting pride back into the community, and they asked the
Fire Chief to put some teeth in the housing code ordinance.
Mr. Eilers stated that one way to stop the transfer of property is to ask Black Hawk County to
stop selling condemned property for taxes. Mayor Rooff reported that the city is requesting that
the County not sell to property owners who have been cited with a violation or owe delinquent
property taxes on other property. Mayor Rooff stated that the landlords need to appear before
the Board of Supervisors and voice their opinion to them.
A landlord suggested that the ordinance refer to "homeowner" rather than "landlord."
Randy Herod stated that he is deeply involved in the neighborhood association, and that not all
members of the associations agree with the proposed ordinance. Mr. Herod suggested that
revitalization of neighborhoods is good for all, tenants and landlords, and that we need to work
together.
Sec. 19-24, Appeal(d), Housing Appeals Board. The proposed ordinance increases the members
of the Appeals Board from five to seven. The Board will consist of a homebuilder, lawyer, tenant,

COUNCIL WORK SESSION
August 17, 1998
4:15 p.m.
Council Chambers
Members present: Getty, Jordan, Anders, Krizek, Murphy.
Members absent: Collier.
Moved by Getty, seconded by Anders that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Four.
Absent: Collier, Murphy. Motion carried.
The proposed reconstruction of the Easton Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant was reviewed.
Bob Stevenson, Administrative Director, stated that the city has received approval from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to proceed
with construction. The total cost for the project is estimated at $20,900,000, with 55 percent to
be paid with federal grant funds, and the city's matching share of $9,405,000 to be paid with
sewer revenue and sewer revenue bonds.
Bob Bamsey, RUST Environment & Infrastructure, stated that the new Easton Plant will use an
activated sludge treatment system. The activated sludge treatment system will replace the plant's
trickling filters. These systems are subject to poor performance in cold weather. The treatment
system will basically serve everything except for the new anaerobic lagoon. The plant will give
the city 50 percent excess capacity and more capacity to handle peak flows of sewage. The
overall project will take two years to complete. Mr. Bamsey reported that the size of the sewer
project has attracted national attention from construction firms all over the nation, which
hopefully means lower bids.
Mr. Stevenson reported that the Partnering Committee has reviewed the project and
recommended proceeding. The project will be placed on the council agenda of Monday, August
24, 1998 to set date of hearing.
The contract with Nutri-Ject, Inc. for sludge hauling and disposal was reviewed. The contract
with Nutri-Ject, Inc. provides for them to construct a building to store the biosolids and then haul
to agricultural land per rules of the DNR. The location for the building is ideal as it is not close to
anyone.
Murphy now present at 4:35 p.m.
The agreement calls for the city to pay Nutri-Ject $18,000.00 per month and $15.26 per wet ton.
The agreement is for five years and will automatically renew for an additional five-year term
unless either party elects to terminate. During the five to ten year period the city will pay
$4,500.00 per month rental and maintenance of the facility or may purchase the facility at a cost
of $350,000.00. Either party may terminate the agreement at any time by giving written notice at
least 90 days prior to the effective date of termination. Moved by Getty, seconded by Anders that
the agreement with Nutri-Ject for sludge hauling and disposal be forwarded to the full council to
set a date of hearing. Ayes: Five. Absent: Collier. Motion carried.
With no further business before the committee, it was moved by Getty, seconded by Krizek that
the meeting be adjourned at 4:40 p.m. Ayes: Five. Absent: Collier. Motion carried.
