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 10, 1998.
Mayor John R. Rooff in the Chair. Roll Call: Getty, Murphy, Jordan, Anders,
Collier, Krizek.
110802 - John Bedard, Jr., 1924 Mulberry Street, reported that the contractors doing the
oiling project on State and Butler are leaving a mess on the side streets that is
unacceptable. Mulberry Street has turned into cobblestone from all the rocks.
Steve Decker, Superintendent of Streets, stated that the Engineering Department
will talk with the contractor tomorrow to get the chips picked up. This project
is part of the 4C° Ward Sealcoating Project. Phase I includes oiling and chips,
and then they spread a double chip so it is like the cadillac of sealcoating.
The Engineering Department will talk to the contractors tomorrow about using a
street sweeper.
Mr. Bedard asked what would it take get curb and gutter installed on a street..
Dennis Gentz, Assistant City Engineer, reported that streets currently being
curbed and guttered are being done through Community Development Block Grant
funds.
Mr. Bedard questioned if local option sales tax could be used to install new curb
and gutter because it could be quite awhile before funding is available to
include State and Cottage Streets in the Community Development Block Grant
Program.
Mr. Gentz stated that Mr. Bedard should contact Rich Earles, Program Manager for
Community Development.
Mayor Rooff asked that Councilperson Collier look at Mr. Bedard's request.
Mike Spear, 2722 Fairlane Avenue, stated that construction on Brookeridge Drive
this summer has closed off traffic to Crestline and Fairlane Avenues. With the
decreased traffic, backing out of driveways has been safer. The neighborhood
does not have sidewalks, and adults and children use the streets to walk and ride
bikes. The decrease in traffic has made their leisure time more enjoyable and
much safer. Mr. Spear submitted a petition from residents requesting that
Crestline and Fairlane Avenues be joined together into a u -shaped street at
Brookeridge, Drive and by the lake. This would be an opportune time to consider
the change since Brookeridge Drive is still being reconstructed. There are 65
families in the area who are excited about making the neighborhood safe and
quiet.
Mayor Rooff asked that Superintendent of Traffic Mike Mrzlak meet with the
Engineering Department to see what can be done in this area.
Jordan/Collier
that the above petition be received and placed on file. Ayes: Six. Motion
carried.
110803 - Dick McDermott, 509 Ardmore Street, questioned if the agreement with MidAmerican
Energy to transfer the 4`" Street dam to the city is on tonight's agenda. Mr.
McDermott stated that he opposes the transfer.
Mayor Rooff stated that on tonight's council agenda there is a transfer agreement
with MidAmerican Energy and a REAP application for funding in the amount of
$200,000 to be used for improvements to the Fourth Street Dam. Mr. McDermott
will have an opportunity to voice his opinion at that time.
Mr. Cox, 1637 Franklin Street, reported that he has been without water for 12
days due to road construction. Mr. Cox stated that he has not gotten a response
from Black Hawk Plumbing.
Mayor Rooff stated that he will have the Engineering Department contact Black
Hawk Plumbing, and he will have an answer by morning.

DOCUMENTS CONTINUED
Mr. McDermott questioned if the silt will build up again, and if the city will
lower the boards during the off season.
Councilperson Anders responded that it will silt, we cannot stop that. The dam
will raise the river upstream during the boating season.
Mayor Rooff stated that the city would lower the boards during the off season
Bob Walker, 168 Sans Souci, presented a petition with 17 pages of signatures
supporting the project. Mr. Walker reported that last year there were 10,064
boats registered in Black Hawk County, and sales of boats in the amount of
$430,000 in July. It could be an economic impact if we could keep those boats
here. There are 7.2 boat ride miles on the Cedar River when the water is right.
The petition contains signatures of people living in other areas of the city.
Mr. Walker asked that the council support the project.
Jordan/Collier
that the above petition and letters in support of improvements to the dam be
received and placed on file. Ayes: Six. Motion carried.
110820 - Councilperson Anders stated that he has looked at the dam and the cable system,
and he feels the city is taking on a big liability. The cables are a mess and
boards are missing, and he is concerned with the cost to repair the dam.
Councilperson Anders stated that MidAmerican is going to get out of this, and it
is going to cost the city. The dam is not useable as it is now.
Mayor Rooff stated that we are just applying for the grant, and that between now
and then we need to discuss what is best for the city. It will be the first of
the year before we hear if we have been awarded the grant.
Councilperson Getty stated that he feels we should go ahead with the transfer of
the dam. Between now and when we hear back from the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources, the city should draw up plans on what it is going to cost to repair
the dam.
Councilperson Anders stated that it would cost approximately $600,000.00 for an
inflatable dam.
City Attorney Jim Walsh sated that the agreement calls for MidAmerican to pay
$120,000.00. The way the agreement is written now if the city is awarded the
grant, we will have to keep the dam. Mr. Walsh suggested changing the wording so
that the city can elect not to take the dam even if we are awarded the grant.
Mayor Rooff stated that the council wants the option to put in an inflatable dame
if it is the best option. Mr. Walsh stated that the agreement does not address
what kind of dam.
Mr. Walsh stated that there are conditions listed under Paragraph 12, and when
those conditions are met there will be a closing on the property. Mr. Walsh
suggested adding an item d under Paragraph 12 as a condition to give the city an
opportunity to investigate the costs.
Mayor Rooff stated that MidAmerican Energy does not want to stick the city with
the dam, and he feels that MidAmerican Energy would work with the city.
John Schnert, representing MidAmerican Energy, stated that MidAmerican does not
want to the stick the city. The dam has been there for a long time and was used
to provide cooling water for the Maynard Station. The boards enhanced boating on
the Cedar River. MidAmerican Energy wishes to partner with the city to enhance
the dam for boating recreation.
Bill Gronan, asked what are the future plans for the 18`' Street bridge and could
we include a dam in that project.
Don Temeyer, City Planner, stated that highway funds would not be eligible for
funding a dam, and that a dam in that area would not raise the water high enough
and would not help our flood control.

COUNCIL WORK SESSION
August 10, 1998
5:00 p.m.
Council Chambers
Members present: Mayor Rooff, Getty, Murphy, Jordan, Collier, Krizek, Anders.
Moved by Jordan, seconded by Murphy that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Five.
Absent: Anders. Motion carried.
The Housing Code Ordinance was reviewed. Mayor Rooff asked how many of the landlords have
read the code. Mayor Rooff stated that the proposed ordinance is to help our residents. Mayor
Rooff read a letter from Mark Linda, Disease Prevention Manager for Black Hawk County. Mr.
Linda reported that Black Hawk County Health Department contracts with the Iowa Department
of Public Health to license and inspect public swimming pools in a nine county area. These
facilities include pools at apartment units, hotels, motels and schools. They do not include
swimming pools at private occupant owned or rental homes. Over the years the county has
received many requests to take action against allegedly unsafe pools at private residences. At
present the city has no ordinance authority to address unsafe residential swimming pools. The
intent of the language of the proposed housing ordinance is to provide a mechanism by which
residential area swimming pools that pose a safety hazard may be addressed.
Anders now present at 5:07 p.m.
Mayor Rooff asked that the landlords review with him the current Housing Code Ordinance
comparing it with the proposed Housing Code Ordinance. Sec. 19-6, Definitions, was reviewed.
Sec 19-6(a), Accessory Structure, has been added to the ordinance. The definition of dwelling,
dwelling unit, residential rental property, swimming pool, and undue hardship have been changed.
The remaining definitions are pretty much the same as the current ordinance. There were no
comments regarding the definitions.
Sec. 19-7, Enforcement Authority, states that the Black Hawk County Health Department, when
applicable, is also authorized and directed to enforce the provisions of the code. The Building
Official, when applicable under the Uniform Building Code, is also authorized and directed to
enforce the provisions of the code.
Sec. 19-9, Regular Rental Inspection, is addressed in the current code. Under the proposed code,
inspections of all properties will also be made upon receipt of "any complaint". Discussion was
heard from the landlords who were concerned that they would not know who made the
complaint. The landlords suggested that the complaint be in writing on file at the Fire
Department, and that the proposed code state that it must be a valid complaint before an
inspection takes place. It was the consensus of the landlords that this section remain as it is
worded in the current code.
Discussion was heard from the landlords regarding the registration fee. Mayor Rooff responded
that the work session is to review the ordinance and not the fees.
Sec. 19-12, Responsibilities Defined. New subsections (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (I) have been
added to the proposed ordinance. Fire Chief Magsamen stated that enforcement of the code is
through written citations, which are municipal infractions. A landlord suggested that the tenant be
cited and put on reinspection.
Sec. 19-17, Fees. Mayor Rooff stated that the fees will remain as they are in the current code.
Sec. 19-19, Space and Occupancy Standards and Acceptability Criteria (0(2), Acceptability
Criteria, was reviewed. It was questioned why screens are even included in the code. A landlord
questioned the inclusion of (h) fences. The proposed ordinance states that an outdoor swimming
pool shall be provided with a fence or barrier that shall be installed, inspected and approved prior
to plastering or filling with water. The fence or barrier must be in compliance with the Uniform
311013 AID
