RESOLUTIONS TO BE ADOPTED
112877 - Jordan/Collier
that "Resolution recognizing a separate entity to be called the Waterloo
Convention and Visitors Bureau", be adopted.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Jim Walsh, City Attorney, stated that the Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB)
and the Waterloo Chamber of Commerce have met over the past five or six weeks
and have agreed to a structure. Mr. Walsh stated that this resolution
establishes the Waterloo Convention and Visitors Bureau (WCVB) as a separate
legal entity under Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code (non-profit).
Mr. Walsh stated that the WOVE and the Chamber have an agreement establishing
their future working relationship which they will be approving. Mr. Walsh
stated that the resolution creates WCVB as a separate legal entity and to ensure
that the WCVB and Chamber work together the city has facilitated discussions
between all interested parties leading to an agreement as to their future
working relationship. Mr. Walsh stated the resolution requires approval of the
agreement by WCVB and the Chamber within sixty days of adoption of this
resolution.
Councilperson Getty asked if WCVB and Chamber members received a copy of the
resolution, and Mr. Walsh commented that he believes some of the members have a
copy of the resolution.
Mayor Rooff stated that the last paragraph of the resolution states that the
city council and WCVB shall meet semi-annually to ensure continued support and
success.
Councilperson Anders stated that all parties have had many meetings, and those
folks have done a thorough job. Councilperson Anders commented that maybe not
everyone agrees with the arrangement, but we need to move on, and he hopes the
WCVB and Chamber will work together. Councilperson Anders stated that he
supports this document.
Mayor Rooff stated that it is important that WCVB stands on its own, and that
the WCVB and Chamber enhance economic development and promote Waterloo as a
place to hold meetings and conventions and promote area events and community
attractions. Mayor Rooff stated that the city wants to see a good spirit of
cooperation.
Mary Ellen Warren, owner of the Quality Inn & Suites, stated that she has
reservations and feels this resolution gives the Chamber even more power than it
had before. Ms. Warren commented that we all saw what happened, the Chamber
dismantled the CVB. Ms. Warren stated she is pleading with the council once
more to let the CVB stand on its own and answer directly to the council. Ms.
Warren stated that the CVB and Chamber have different missions, one is public
and one is a private, members only organization. Ms. Warren stated that it
appears that the Chamber has financial problems.
Mayor Rooff stated that the council realizes the WCVB has the option to allocate
their share of hotel/motel tax funds as they want.
Following discussion a vote was taken on the above motion with the following
result. Ayes: Six. Absent: Krizek.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 1999-691.

COUNCIL WORK SESSION
October 4, 1999
5:15 p.m.
Council Chambers
Members present: Mayor Rooff, Getty, Murphy, Jordan, Gronen, Collier, Anders.
Members absent: Krizek.
- Moved by Jordan, seconded by Gronen that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Six.
Absent: Krizek. Motion carried.
Discussion was heard on possible city involvement in broad band communications.
Mayor Rooff stated two Waterloo businesses have requested that Cedar Falls Utilities be allowed
to install fiber at MidPort. Mayor Rooff commented that he does not know if the Cedar Falls
Utilities Board has approved laying fiber in Waterloo. Mayor Rooff stated that the city needs to
focus on Internet and high speed communications.
Irshad Ansari, from Stanley Consultants Inc., gave a presentation on why a modern state-of-the-
art telecommunications system is critical for the City of Waterloo. Mr. Ansari presented the
following pros of having a telecommunications system in Waterloo: Reduce reliance on private
telecommunications provider, competition, delighted citizens, improved quality of life,
telemedicine, and remote learning (education). The cons are: surrounding communities are
building modern infrastructures, losing business to surrounding communities, not able to attract
new industries, unable to help existing businesses expand through global hi -tech
telecommunications, no competition to curb rates and improve services, cannot improve internal
operations, and the city and residents are left on the back edge of the information technology
growth curve. Mr. Ansari stated that municipal broadband communications systems are key to
survival and is important to drive economic development and foster competition in monopolistic
environment. Municipal broadband communications systems will improve internal operations of
city services with lower costs achieved through efficiencies with internal voice and video data.
Mr. Ansari stated that competition among telecommunications providers have proven to improve
customer service, lower rates and deliver rapid deployment of new services. Telecommunications
can make Waterloo companies and organizations more efficient and more competitive.
Mr. Ansari stated that data network services include: phone network, Internet access, telephony,
entertainment, metropolitan area network, automated meter reader and home security. Mr.
Ansari reported that to answer the question should the city develop a municipal broadband
communications systems, the city needs to answer the following questions: do we have
resources, can we get resources, community backing and are our constituents ready.
Mr. Ansari stated that to proceed the city needs to get everyone on board, dedicate resources and
become proactive rather than reactive. Mr. Ansari commented that if the city doesn't have
access, we will be left behind and the city is currently on hold. Mr. Ansari stated that to achieve
the goal of a modern telecommunications system with competition, the city should finish the
feasibility study, examine the results, form a strategic plan and take action.
Mr. Ansari recommended that the city build a fiber backbone infrastructure to meet our needs.
Once the city has required a backbone, we will need to seek partnerships, including developing a
Telecommunications Committee meeting regularly to identify large users of telecom. Identify
areas with additional telecommunication needs such as schools, identify economic development
requirements for community/industry trends, and hold telecommunications education sessions for
citizens. Mr. Ansari stated that the city will have to make decisions on how to support it
financially.
Mayor Rooff stated that the financial issue is the part that paralyzes communities. To put the
financial piece together the city must find interested parties willing to partner with the city. Mr.
Ansari stated that the city will need to identify sources of revenue, such as banks, schools and
hospitals.
