In 1972 the City Code of Iowa was adopted which allowed city councils by ordinance to replace an Airport Commission with a board as a city administrative agency. Mr. Haynie stated that the proposed ordinance was drafted similar to other Iowa cities, mostly the City of Des Moines, with adjustments to fit Waterloo. Mr. Haynie stated that the purpose of the ordinance is to spell out the responsibilities and powers of the Airport Board and those powers retained by the city council. The ordinance gives the Airport Board all the authority allowed by law except issuing of bonds. The ordinance allows the board to enter into and execute leases, agreements and operating agreements not to exceed three years. Mr. Haynie reported that State Code requires that all property acquired by the board, whether real or personal, to be acquired in the name of the city and remain an asset of the city. Mr. Haynie stated that the airport is financed by the city, and the yearly budget must be submitted to the council for approval. Mr. Haynie stated that the end result of the proposed ordinance is to make it crystal clear where responsibilities end. Mr. Haynie stated that the ordinance will unify the Airport Area Development Authority and the Airport Commission. Mayor Rooff stated that the ordinance combines the AADA and the Airport Commission and defines the authority and responsibility of the Airport Board. Mayor Rooff stated that we want to provide a better airport for the community. Mayor Rooff reported that Eric Johnson pledges his support and three commission members were at tonight's council work session. Following discussion a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes: Five. Absent: Krizek. Motion carried. 113123 - Bruce Meisinger, Finance Manager, stated that the preliminary FY 1999 audit results indicate that the city has lost adequate rate coverage required by the governing bond covenants, and that a rate increase would be necessary at this time. Mr. Meisinger stated that the need to increase rates at this time is primarily driven by our sewer revenue bond covenants which require that the city maintain rates adequate to provide net revenue to cover a minimum of 1.25 x debt service on revenue bonds. Sewer rates have not been increased since February 1992, and the city has undertaken the construction of the new waste water treatment facilities and related systems of which our local share of construction costs will exceed $30 million upon completion over the next few years. The issuance of bonded debt to finance the city's share of the construction costs has increased our debt base to a level that is not adequately covered by our current net revenues of at least 1.25 times annual debt service. Mr. Meisinger stated that he recommends that the city council adjust the sewer rate to be in compliance with bond covenants. Mr. Meisinger stated that the city is approximately two-thirds through the capital construction program, and in order to proceed we need to make a rate adjustment to finance the program. The proposed rate will increase the minimum monthly charge from $9.55 per month to $10.50 per month and the rate charge per Ccf over the minimum usage would increase from $1.30 per Ccf to $1.45 per Ccf. Mayor Rooff stated that the increase homeowner. Mayor Rooff asked if the Meisinger stated yes. Mr. Meisinger does not have anything to do with the 1999. will be $11.40 per year for the average city has ample cash and reserves and Mr. stated that the proposed rate increase fund balance, but only looks at June 30, Councilperson Murphy stated that eventually the percentage will decrease because bonded indebtedness will go down. Mr. Meisinger reported that the city will have sewer indebtedness for a number of years because we issued 20 to 30 year bonds. If the city stops issuing sewer bonds, they will go down and never be as high. Mr. Meisinger stated that the city is going to use General Obligation Bonds to fund the reminder of the construction, which do not require the 1.25 bond covenant. Mayor Rooff stated that we have had great interest rates the past four years so for the next 20 years we should be retiring those bonds. Councilperson Getty stated that this morning we talked about the operating cost of the sewer plant because we are building a new one and operating the old one. Councilperson Getty stated that it bothers him that we are going to raise the rates 10 percent. Councilperson Getty stated that he would like to look at the operating budget, and investigate if MidAmerica can save the city money in operating the plant. Councilperson Getty stated that there are too many unanswered questions, and he would like to table the ordinance for two weeks. Councilperson Anders stated that last March Mayor Rooff told the council it would be a tough year for the budget. Councilperson Anders stated that he would like to table the ordinance and try to find savings at the plant, such as the cost of the chemicals. Councilperson Anders stated that he would like to wait and table the ordinance indefinitely.

Members absent: Jordan, Krizek. Moved by Anders, seconded by Getty that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Four. Absent: Jordan, Krizek. Motion carried. Mayor Rooff stated that the purpose of the work session is to review the proposed ordinance on tonight's council agenda which establishes an Airport Board of Directors as an Administrative Agency. Ken Haynie, attorney with Ahlers Law Firm, stated that he has been working with airports and commissions and statutes relating to Airport Commissions Mr. Haynie reported that Waterloo has a Chapter 330 Airport Commission, and that Chapter 330 was adopted in 1939. Mr. Haynie stated that for a long time Chapter 330 was the only piece of legislation which dealt with government airports. Mr. Haynie reported that Chapter 330 was amended in 1940 and 1945. Mr. Haynie reported that Chapter 330 was superseded by the provisions of the City Code of Iowa, adopted in 1972 and now found in Chapters 364 though 392 of the Iowa Code. Under the City Code, the council as a governing body of the city controls all of the tax levies through the budget process and tax levy purposes have been streamlined so that no specific city airport tax levy remains in existence. A city airport now becomes designated a city enterprise and may be continued under the governance of a city administrative agency. Under Section 330.23 of the Iowa Code, a city council may abolish a Chapter 330 airport commission and provide for the management and control of a city airport by an administrative agency. The council does this by enacting an ordinance pursuant to Iowa Code Section 392.1. The ordinance establishing the administrative agency must indicate the title, powers, duties, method of appointment, compensation, term of members, and subject to limitations, may delegate certain of the council's powers with respect to the airport to the administrative agency. Mr. Haynie reported that the proposed ordinance has a list of specific powers reserved for the city council. The city council could allow the Airport Board to issue airport revenue bonds. Mr. Haynie reported that the City of Des Moines has the most comprehensive ordinance, and that the proposed ordinance for the city comes from Des Moines' ordinance with adjustments to fit Waterloo. Mr. Haynie stated that with the proposed ordinance the city can unify two agencies into one for city payroll and budgetary reasons. Mr. Haynie stated that whoever has responsibility still has to deal with the FAA, the proposed ordinance doesn't change any contractual responsibilities, simply changes the airport to an administrative agency. Mr. Haynie reported that the ordinance allows the new board to enter and execute leases, agreements and operating agreements not to exceed three years. Any agreements or leases exceeding three years would require approval of the city council. Mr. Haynie stated that the proposed ordinance gives the new board the power to establish airport rules and regulations, and establish rates and charges. Mr. Haynie stated anyone in violation of the proposed ordinance will be guilty of a municipal infraction resulting in a $100.00 fine for each initial offense and $200.00 for each repeat offense. Mayor Rooff stated that the Airport Area Development Authority was involved in the economic development of the Airport, the city participated in the development and the Airport Commission was by-passed. This ordinance will create one voice. Mayor Rooff stated that the council does not want to restrict the airport's powers, and that the city needs to get on with development of the airport, lowering fees and providing better service. Mr. Haynie stated that in his observation airports are a development center and coordination of operations and development are hard to keep separate because businesses wanting to locate here work with the airport. Mr. Haynie reported that the FAA will not have any problem with the proposed ordinance, as they favor administrative bodies in charge. Mr. Haynie stated that the Council Work Session December 6, 1999 Page 2 FAA will continue to impose grant funding. Mr. Haynie stated that the proposed ordinance gives more scope to work with and function as an airport management agency. In answer to a questions by Councilperson Anders, Finance Manager Bruce Meisinger stated that Passenger Facility Charges (PFC) are not part of the General Fund and are funded in a separate account. The PFCs are restricted by federal law. Mayor Rooff stated that the existing Airport Commission has had discussions about creating a Regional Airport and asked if the proposed ordinance will allow a regional airport. Mr. Haynie stated that airport could still become regionalized. Mr. Haynie stated that there is not much point of establishing a regional airport if you do not get the support from other cities. Mr. Haynie stated that other cities are separate entities, and that normally you do not get much financial support from other entities and the city might as well run the airport. With no further business before the council, it was moved by Getty seconded by Gronen that the meeting be adjoumed at 6:50 p.m. Ayes: Four. Absent: Jordan, Krizek. Motion carried.
