HEARINGS CONTINUED
They have a contract with someone to remove the snow from the sidewalks. During
the last snow storm, the sidewalks at Whittier were not removed immediately
because no one lives in the building, and the contractor took care of property
with greater need.
Mr. Foley stated that when Whittier is rehabilitated the units will be good
apartments, and they want to have good tenants who will be good neighbors. The
building will have house rules in the lease which will control noise.
Councilperson Krizek questioned if rehabilitation of Whittier and Emerson schools
is predicated on doing both buildings. Mr. Foley answered that financially it
would be necessary to do both projects.
Councilperson Anders questioned if there is a limit to the number of children,
and Mr. Foley responded that there is no limit on the number of children nor the
age of the children. Whittier will have only one and two bedroom units and
should not attract large families.
Councilperson Collier questioned if Section 8 tenants will be accepted as
tenants. Mr. Foley answered that they cannot discriminate when renting the
property.
Randy Herod, 1278 W. Mullan„ stated that we want what Mr. Foley has talked about
for a long time, revitalization of our city. If the city does not do this one,
which one are we going to do. The project will be done at no cost to the city
and total revitalization of the area. Mr. Herod stated that Waterloo Apartment
Partners LLC is a credible organization. Mr. Herod feels that this project is
needed in the city and that the rezoning request should be an easy decision for
the council.

Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Councilperson Anders stated that he drove by Whittier School last evening,
asked himself would he like to drive by and look at the building as it is
would he like to drive by and look at it renovated, and he thinks it is a
brainer.
He

Councilperson Mollenhoff supports Councilperson Anders' statement, and he has not

Moved by Jordan, seconded by Mollenhoff that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes:
Seven. Motion carried.
Mike Hahn, Program Manager of Main Street Waterloo, updated the council on the Klinefelter
building. Bossenberger Associates Structural Engineers completed a visual inspection of the
building on February 27, 1998. Mr. Bossenberger reported that the building experienced
sustained additional deterioration since the original structural report was completed in 1995. Mr.
Bossenberger pointed out that decay of the wood framing has extended over a greater area of the
structure. Additional water penetration of the masonry wall is evident. Mr. Bossenberger
recommended that immediate attention be given to the parapet wall of the building and a roof
system be installed to prevent further deterioration. Main Street Waterloo has received a
proposed development agreement to rehabilitate the Klinefelter Livery into a restaurant and
entertainment establishment. The developer, Willey Brothers, has extensive experience and a
successful track record in rehabilitating historic properties. The developer currently owns 54
commercial properties and has lease agreements with over 200 tenants primarily in western states.
Willey Brothers has requested the following terms: The city sell the building for $1, Willey
Brothers will assume immediate liability after the property is transferred, and the city agrees to
rebate property taxes for the next five years. Willey Brothers is seeking a grant in the amount of
$100,000 to be used in rehabilitating the building. Main Street Waterloo has targeted $15,000
from the State Historical Emergency Grant and $35,000 from the Historical Resource
Development Program. Willey Brothers is requesting that the city fund the remaining $50,000
using the funds budgeted for demolition of the Klinefelter building.
Ray Willey, an owner of Willey Brothers, reviewed the proposed use of the building. A Pockets
Billiard Club would be located on the first and second floor. Pockets Billiard is an upscale
restaurant, pub, nightclub, meeting facility for groups. A Tony Roma's franchise restaurant
would be located within the Billiard Club. Renovation would begin in July 1998 with a
completion date of January 1999. Willey Brothers has 18 years of commercial and real estate
acquisition and renovation experience. Willey Brothers own approximately 54 commercial
properties with over 200 tenants. They own the Pizza Plus chain and Pizza Factory franchise.
Willey Brothers is currently renovating the former Mayflower building in Modesto, California into
Theopolis Christian Bookstore, containing 40,000 square feet. They have also just purchased a
16,000 square foot older brick building in the middle of Modesto's 10`h Street Place
redevelopment. Mr. Willey estimates that the Pockets Billiard Club will hold approximately
1,000 customers, and they will have 40 full and part time employees.
Discussion was heard regarding the availability of parking. Mr. Willey would like the use of the
lot located behind the Klinefelter building and on -street parking. It was suggested that customers
could utilize the newly constructed parking lots located under the 218 viaduct.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Murphy, seconded by Jordan that
Se meeting be adjourned at 5:35 p.m. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.

COUNCIL WORK SESSION

5:30 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Members present: Mayor Rooff, Getty, Murphy, Jordan, Anders, Krizek, Collier, Mollenhoff.
Moved by Jordan, seconded by Mollenhoff that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes:
Seven. Motion carried.
Bids received for the Chiller Replacement at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center and
the request of the Administrative Director for authorization to exceed estimated cost were
reviewed. Bids for the Chiller Replacement at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center were
opened on March 30, 1998. The low bid of $328,850.00, submitted by Young Plumbing &
Heating Co., is 20 percent ($53,850.00) over the estimated cost of $275,000.00. An estimated
construction cost was provided by The Energy Group through information supplied by the
equipment manufacturers. Building Maintenance is recommending the installation of a raised
walkway from the roof edge to the penthouse access door with reroofing of the southeast
quadrant of the building, the replacement of several electrical service panels and valve
replacement. It was the recommendation of the Administrative Director that staff be authorized
to exceed the estimated construction cost and that the low bid in the amount of $377,350.00 from
Young Plumbing & Heating Co. be accepted. This item is on tonight's council agenda for
approval.
The proposed changes to the Housing Code were reviewed by Fire Chief Frank Magsamen. The
changes include: Addressing all complaints on existing residential buildings on a systematic basis
house by house by working with neighborhoods/citizens of the city. Maintenance of existing
housing stock is addressed in order to avoid dilapidated/dangerous housing conditions. A pro-
active approach is being established. Tenant responsibilities are being defined and addressed more
specifically. Fire safety requirements relating to changes in smoke detectors are being added to
the Housing Code. Address problem property and owners by more frequent inspections, with
some properties inspected on an annual basis. Licensing of rental units in order to have better
tracking on ownership and number of units for all rental properties. The Housing Appeals Board
would increase from five to seven members to address the appeal process. Establishing means to
address hardship situations relating to cases where owners of properties are unable to do needed
code violations. Signage on properties containing sub -standard dwellings is being added to the
Housing Code. Accessory structures on residential properties shall be maintained in a structurally
safe and sound condition along with proper exterior protective coating applied. Outdoor
swimming pools shall be provided with fence or barrier. Fences will be maintained in good
condition not to present a hazard and protected by painting or similar preservative.
Gary Rankin questioned the landlord license requiring submission of information to the Fire
Department. The information will be used by the Fire Department to keep better track of rental
property owners. Mr. Rankin does not object to the licensing of rental property, but does not
understand the need to pay $5 per unit fee to give information to the city.
Fire Chief Magsamen stated that the additional revenues generated by the increased inspection
fees and licenses will help the Fire Department enforce the proposed housing code changes which
will require additional staff.
Mayor Rooff stated that the proposed Housing Code will help clean the city up and will help
enforce landlords who do not maintain their rental property.
The Building & Grounds Committee will meet on Monday, March 30, 1998 at 4:00 p.m. to
discuss the proposed ordinance. Landlords were invited to attend.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Getty, seconded by Mollenhoff that
the meeting be adjourned at 6:25 p.m.
