ORAL PRESENTATIONS 112239 Wayne Nathem, 548 Cloverdale, reported that after the My Waterloo Days Parade on Friday evening, people were in Lincoln Park talking and not bothering anyone. The police asked everyone to move along, and then the horse patrol charged at the people. Mr. Nathem stated that he believes its unsafe to charge the horses at a gallop at people. Steve Witt, Police Captain, stated that there was a disturbance by younger people in Lincoln Park, and the Police Department disbursed the group. Captain Witt stated that the horse patrol was at the park, but he is sure they used the right protocol. Mayor Rooff asked that Captain Witt and Councilperson Collier get together with him to discuss the disturbance. Steve Sinnott, Sunset Road, stated that he appeared before the council a couple of months ago regarding the city hiring a consultant to prepare bid specifications for liability and property insurance coverage, and he was inquiring as to the status of the insurance bids. Mayor Rooff responded that an insurance committee consisting of Councilpersons Getty, Jordan and Dr. Gronen and the City Clerk have met and have scheduled another meeting for next Monday and will let Mr. Sinnott know of their decision some time next week. The committee has reviewed the issue of whether to hire a consultant and go out for bids on the insurance. Robert Sieglaff, 914 West 9"`, reported that he is still waiting for an answer to his suggestion that the city implement odd/even day parking. Mr. Sielaff stated that he disagrees with an increase in salary for the mayor and council, and that he does not feel the council should have the right to vote themselves a raise. Mr. Sieglaff stated that the mayor and council knew what their wage would be when they were elected. The resident at 2138 Mulberry Street asked if there is an ordinance prohibiting trains from blocking railroad crossings. - He stated that he telephoned Councilperson Getty on Sunday night regarding a train blocking the. railroad crossing on Nevada and Polk from 7:00 p.m. to 11:45 p.m. Mayor Rooff stated that the city has little control over trains blocking the crossings. Mayor Rooff stated that he feels the trains put children in danger. Mayor Rooff reported that when his office receives calls regarding the trains blocking the crossings, the city monitors the crossing and the railroad complies for a while and then the issue comes up again. Mayor Rooff encouraged the citizen to telephone his office when trains block the crossing. Jim Porter, 1322 Northey, stated that he wished to speak to the issue of the mayor and cpuncil's raises. Mr. Porter stated that he understands why a person could have qualms giving himself a raise. Mr. Porter stated that the council should look at the positions and not the person. Mr. Porter stated that he wished to go on record that he feels the mayor and council deserve a raise just like everyone else. Mr. Porter stated that he personally is in favor of the raise and urged the council to vote for theposition and not the person. Mayor Rooff stated that the city once again will provide summer jobs through the Area VII office. The jobs are for youth 16 to 20 years old. The jobs will run from June 14 through August 6, 1999 and will pay $5.15 per hours. Mayor Rooff urged youth interested in employment over the summer to visit the Area VII office.

Members absent: Collier. Moved by Jordan, seconded by Gronen that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Six. Absent: Collier. Motion carried. Randy Pilkington, Director Institute for Decision Making at University of Northern Iowa, discussed economic development: trends, incentives and success factors. Mr. Pilkington reviewed future trends to 2005 in Iowa. The population in Iowa is expected to see little growth, with 65 and older the fastest growing segment. The majority of new workers will be Hispanic, Asian and E. European. Work hours and work patterns will change, with flex -time, shared jobs, retired/reentering. Thirty-three percent of new jobs will require a college degree compared to 22 percent now. Some current occupations may shrink or become extinct, with estimated average worker to change careers three times. Most new jobs will be in the information sector. Two- thirds of all new jobs will be created by small businesses. Mr. Pilkington reported that since 1970s, 80 percent of the Fortune 500 companies are gone. Since 1980s, the United States created 29 million jobs, 55 percent in industries that did not exist, and 2/3 are good paying jobs. By 2010, 77 percent of jobs will be service, 90 percent of manufacturing jobs will be in service, and 95 percent of white collar jobs will leave or be completely transformed. The service sector has seen an average of 2 million net jobs per year during the past decade. There is only 10 percent difference in average wage of service sector compared to manufacturing sector. The high paying jobs in steel, automotive and heavy equipment is not typical of all manufacturing pay. There are still many jobs beings created in low paying services, primarily dominated by retail, with recent growth in service sector fields paying higher than average wage or salary. Today's economy is not creating low -skill, moderate -wage jobs for persons with limited education like factory jobs of the 50s and 60s. The challenge is to improve education and vocational training to match jobs emerging in abundance. Mr. Pilkington reviewed what prospects look for in quality of life criteria with low rime rate, health facilities, ratings of public schools, housing costs, housing availability rating among the top five. Prospects look at highway accessibility, availability of skilled labor, occupancy or construction costs, labor costs and other factors. In order for cities to survive and grow, communities will need to have vision and planning, education and training, leaders, capital, marketing, infrastructure and technology, employment opportunities, housing and health care. Don Temeyer, City Planner, reviewed the Economic Development Plan for the City of Waterloo. The mission for the city is to create an economic development environment which provides ample opportunities for the development of new and existing businesses, resulting in the retention of existing jobs, creation of new jobs and an increase in the tax base. Mr. Temeyer reviewed Black Hawk County's work force from 1978 through 1998, residential property tax trends from FY94 through FY2000, unemployment rate comparison, and cost of living comparison. Another work session will be scheduled for June 28, 1999 to further discuss the Economic Development Plan. With no further business before the council, it was moved by Getty, seconded by Jordan that the meeting be adjourned at 6:02 p.m. Ayes: Six. Absent: Collier. Motion carried. Nancy Eckert City Clerk
