ORAL PRESENTATIONS
110190 - Mary Haais, 116 Courtland, stated that some time ago the city put up barricades
at Courtland & Fowler to try to stop drug dealing. Neighbors have opened the
barricades and she suggested that the city ether remove the barricades entirely
or put them back in place.
Mayor Rooff asked if the traffic flow has been better since the barricades were
moved.
Ms. Haais stated that the traffic is moving although it is nosier again.
Kathy Oberle, 710 Forest, stated that today Governor Branstad signed legislation
increasing the local option tax from 1 cent to 2 cent. Ms. Oberle feels that
with cooperation between the city and the school board the citizens would only
need to approve a small increase in the local option tax to fix the school
buildings. Ms. Oberle suggested that the council bring this issue before the
citizens. She stated that the school system needs to demonstrate they will be
using the funds for the right purposes. Ms. Oberle stated that as of July 1,
1997, the city received $7.8 million in local option tax money. If an additional
.25 percent were added to the local option tax, it would generate an additional
$1.95 million per year to help rejuvenate the schools. The school board could
demonstrate to the citizens that they were willing to use the money correctly.
Ms. Oberle stated that the recent vote showed that the citizens do not want new
schools; they want neighborhood schools, not large pod schools. Ms. Oberle would
like to see her suggested additional .25 percent increase in local option tax
come from the school board and city. The schools could get the job done to fix
the buildings with no borrowing or interest on a pay as you go. Ms. Oberle
continued that the citizens need to realize the State of Iowa is responsible for
lowering of taxes because of the rollback and cautioned that the State can take
away just as fast as they give. Ms. Oberle would like to see the effort come
from the leadership.
Tom Hall, P.O. Box 154, questioned if a person buys property do they have to pay
all at once. His question is in regard to Van Eaton School. Mayor Rooff stated
that City Planner Don Temeyer will meet with Mr. Hall after the meeting.

COUNCIL WORK SESSION

4:30 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Members present: Anders, Getty, Murphy, Krizek.
Members absent: Jordan, Collier, Mollenhoff.
Moved by Krizek, seconded by Murphy that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Four.
Absent: Jordan, Collier, Mollenhoff. Motion carried.
The Building Code was reviewed. Revisions were made to the code as per the work session held
on April 1, 1998. The 1997 Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings has also
been included. Section 9-2 (a), Work Exempt from Permit has been added. Work that will be
exempt includes: fences not over 4 feet height; replacement of storm doors and storm windows;
replacement of broken glass in windows; repair or replacement of hardware for door or window
operation; and minor wall repair. Section 9-11, Adding Chapters 4, 15 and 18 of Appendix, was
reviewed. The following chapters from the Appendix of the Uniform Building Code, Volume 1,
published by the International Conference of Building Officials were added to the code; Chapter
4, Special Use and Occupancies; Barriers for Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs; Chapter 15,
Reroofing; and Chapter 18, Waterproofing and Dampproofing Foundations.
Councilperson Collier now present at 4:45 p.m.
Jim Crandall, Crandall Construction; stated that there is a need for roof inspection and that the
council should adopt the Appendix. Homeowners avoid a lot of problems by requiring inspection
of the roof prior to the work. Discussion was heard regarding the manpower needed to enforce
this section of the code and how to inform public of the code. It was suggested that the newly
hired Public Access Television Production Coordinator will be able to inform the public of city
policy through the public access channel.
Article IV, Manufactured Homes, was reviewed. This section of the code enforces manufactured
homes in an approved trailer court and outside an approved trailer court.
This item will be placed on the council agenda in two weeks which will give council members time
to review the Appendix.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Krizek, seconded by Anders that the
meeting be adjourned at 5:05: p.m. Ayes: Five. Absent: Jordan, Mollenhoff. Motion carried.

JOINT COUNCIL/WATERLOO AIRPORT COMMISSION

5:00 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Members present: Mayor Rooff, Getty, Murphy, Anders, Krizek, Collier.
Members absent: Jordan, Mollenhoff.
Others present: Tunis Den Hartog, Theresa Hoffman, Bob Peterson, Gary Cummins, Kim
Bakker.
Moved by Krizek, seconded by Murphy that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Five.
Absent: Jordan, Mollenhoff. Motion carried.
Bob Peterson, Chairperson of the Airport Commission, reviewed the following items: terminal
renovations, new corporate hangar, and Hawkeye Community College. The Airport Commission
has currently hired Burns and McDonnel to complete a Master Plan for the airport. This process
will take a year to complete. The Airport is currently developing the scope of services with Burns
and McDonnell. The scope of services will indicate how much attention we wish the consultant
to spend on all the items a Master Plan may have to deal with. One of the items the Airport
Commission wishes to concentrate is the terminal. Generally, when a consultant looks at a large
project such as the terminal, they develop about ten options starting with completely building a
new terminal on another site and the costs. Airport staff feels the optimum plan will include
renovation of most of the terminal and possibly an addition. Airport staff has talked with Darrell
Anders, of AHTS Architects about the plans. He has indicated that an estimate of cost to be
$3,000,000. Currently, the FAA only funds terminals for the public use space, nothing that can be
rented is eligible for FAA funding, although PFC funds can be used for passenger boarding areas
Federal funding and PFC funds usually end up paying for 40 to 80 percent of the cost of terminal
improvements. The object of all terminal improvement projects is improve as much public use
space as possible so that more of a percentage is fundable. If the terminal renovation is approved
to proceed, it would be three years before any construction could start. Mr. Peterson stated that
the Airport Commission would like a recommendation from the council on what they feel should
be done at the airport. Is the condition of the terminal something that deters people from using
the terminal
Councilperson Anders asked if there was information available that if we build a terminal
passenger boardings will increase. Councilperson Murphy stated that with development of
MidPort, should the city look at being an industrial airport. Mr. Peterson stated that these are the
types of things the study will look at. Councilperson Krizek stated that construction would not
