Mayor Rooff thanked MidAmerican Energy for their help on the GMAC Mortgage Corp. building near Tower Park. Mayor Rooff stated that the Waterloo Police Department's proposal to pick up speeders, people driving without a license and people driving under the influenceisnot solely to raise money. The city's efforts will be conducted the same way as the last two years. We will be targeting schools to make them a safe place and other problem areas. Mayor Rooff stated that the council will have to adopt an ordinance to implement the new traffic fines which will allow the Police Department to charge an administrative fee for people arrested for driving with a suspended license or while under the influence. Mayor Rooff stated that this administration feels there is a problem with people driving while under the influence or without a license and asked why should the taxpayers bear that burden. Mayor Rooff reported that over the last five years, this administration has lowered the property levy, and the operating costs for the city is $1 million less in tax askings than in 1994. Mayor Rooff stated that his office has received numerous calls since the media reported that the city will be instituting the new fee for persons driving while license suspended or under the influence. Mayor Rooff stated that the media does their best to report the facts. Mayor Rooff stated that he will continue to work closely with the media and with Department Heads to keep the costs down. Mayor Rooff reported that the Courier has given him an opportunity to write a guest editorial, and he will do the editorial in the near future. Cheryl Christiansen, 1702 Mitchell Avenue, stated that citizens in Waterloo are going out of business because we are bringing new businesses to our city. Ms. Christiansen stated that S & S Meats, 930 West 5th Street, is going out of business and asked if the city could help keep this business in our city.

Mayor Rooff reported that GMAC is going to construct a 30,000 square foot building at an estimated cost of $2,500,000.00 as Phase I of a multi-year GMAC development project. The city will provide the land, sewer and water, road and tax rebates for five years. The city does not own the land. Hurst Holding Company owns the land and is going to transfer the land to the city for a total purchase price of $548,856.00. The city will pay Hurst Holding Company for the land though tax revenues from the site paying annual installments over a seven year time period. The city will convey the 8.4 acres of land to Cardinal Construction Inc., who will construct the building and lease it to GMAC. Mayor Rooff stated that a TIF District will be created that will cover only the 8.4 acres of land that will be developed for GMAC. The Development Agreement with Cardinal Construction Inc. stipulates that Cardinal Construction can only lease the building and property to GMAC, and if the building is not constructed the property reverts back to the city. Mayor Rooff stated that MidAmerican Energy has invested approximately $30,000 in the project, and TCI of Northern Iowa will install fiber optics. Mayor Rooff stated that he feels this is a good deal.

The proposed net operating budget for FY 2000 is $56,905,873, and the total proposed budget for FY 2000 is $101,657,073. Mayor Rooff compared the city's budget and services from FY 1994 through FY 2000. Mayor Rooff stated that the property tax levy for FY 1994 was $25,380,180, with a tax rate of $20.05 per one thousand dollars of valuation. The proposed property tax levy for FY 2000 is $24,390,238, with a proposed tax rate of $16.67 per one thousand dollars of valuation, which a 16.86 percent decrease from 1994. In 1994 citizens paid $10.00 per month for garbage services, and in 1999 citizens have the option of selecting a small, medium or large garbage can for $8.00, $10.00 or $15.00 per month. The total assessed valuation for FY 1994 was $1,567,087,681, and the total assessed valuation for FY 2000 is $2,008,729,517 for an increase of 28.18 percent. The city's bond rating has gone up from Baa in 1994 to A3 in 1999. The number of sworn police officers has increased from 113 to 126, and the number of firefighters has increased from 111 to 121. Fire station #6 is open, Library operating hours have increased from 39 to 64 hours per week. The city currently has 5 automated garbage routes. A new Wastewater Treatment Plant has been built and is now in compliance with government standards. In 1994 there were two recognized neighborhood associations and in 1999 there are 21 neighborhood associations. The city has created two industrial parks, the Northeast Industrial Park and MidPort America. Sixteen park playgrounds have been renovated since 1994. The FY 1999 amended and FY 2000 proposed budgets were reviewed. Mayor Rooff compared the proposed $16.67 levy impact on a tax bill for a residence valued at $100,000 compared to FY 1999. In FY 1999 a person owning a home valued at $100,000 had a tax bill of $1,081.60, and with the FY 2000 proposed budget that same $100,000 home would pay $1,092.44 for an increase of $10.84 or a 1 percent increase. Councilperson Anders proposed that the FY 2000 Budget include funding in the amount of $1,692 for the National Cattle Congress, $2,769 for Metro Tennis Association, and $5,000 for the consulting program for the Waterloo Schools. Councilperson Anders suggested that Silos & Smokestacks' funding of $9,200 from the hotel/motel funds be allocated for the above programs. Councilperson Anders suggested that zero funding be allocated to Silos & Smokestacks at this time, and if Silos & Smokestacks moves forward with their program, we would find the additional $7,200. Councilperson Anders stated that staff has suggested that the $2,155.14 for sidewalk assessment for the Jesse Cosby Neighborhood Association be funded out of the FY 1999 Budget. reaA 8141 spunj tolourdaloq AreuouaJOsip ui 000`0£$ Alal2uuxoldde aq wogs amp 1241 palels `1a&2u2yq aou2uiJ `1a&11isiayq aorug spun3 plow/13104 Areuoi1a10sip a413811 Imo 3M 831021sa)loms 2g soles puna of lam saptoap pounoo 94131 pue `s31021sa)louts750sobs 01 pawooile spunj lalouxfjaloq OOZ`6$ a41 &uisn palsa&&ns slapuy uosiadpounoj uoi1210ossy sutuaj 0113N a41 pie ssal&uo3 al1423 12u0ueM 341 1o3 slsanbai &uipung 341 411M op 02 palu2M &0111100 341 124M pauoilsanb slapuy uosiadliounoj prea4 913M 212011111100 &u!M0l103 941 `11090W 0nog2 alp uo aeon 2 01 loud alg uo pa02ld pue paniaoai aq s111311Im00 ua}21M pue j210 pus pasolo aq &uuBaq 3411241 )f9z11?UA1190 .a0ualadlip 941131100 01 spun3 p33a II!M am `as2910u11uao1ad 8 le 11241 134121 382310111 1ua01ad 0i 2 le ui moo spiq aou2msm 411234 3413! 1241 palels 31azuN uosiadliounoj aou2l2q puna 341 asn o1 Al2ssaoau aq ium 4! `Hogs um put final x2105 91$ 342 1dop2 am 3I .a0uei2q 111311110 811 1e aou2i2q puna 341 dam! 01 pre4 3I1oM o1 spaau Alto a42Imp palslsztoom 1oAeN .382310111 ou aas 01 uorlEnJEnJo srellop pussno411ad ()co le las aq 01 paau mom Anal x21 A11adojd 341 1241 palms `1a&2u2JA aou2uid `1a&uisi3JAI aon.ig ain&g 310241101 a413o lawn 831410 uuojui 01 alels a41 am mom a4 1241 palels A1130 uosladgounoj .sreaK ang ls2d a41111 uogIIUI I$ Anal xel A413dold alp pal9Mo1824 Alio a411242 pa121a4ia1 j1oog 1oA2yAi s129A om11s2d 34119110 &uissaloap uaaq 31124 suzniuzaid aou2msui A11ado1d pre Agggeg ssA1io 948 •sreaA l2ianas wed alp fano a0uemsui 411234103 81800 ui 382310111 941 41!M 31111 ui si 362310111 1113013d 8 pasodold 3411241,3)112 `3011211181 1 a3H par p:luap `411234 a42103 scull 10311122lnsuo0 2 p9114 824 Ago a411242 pal2ls 511ai3 A1!3 `113310& Aou2N 51800 a0u2msui 344 &mMainal pue suoigsod morn gum lou le Sunlooi pa2sa&&ns pun • .saunl p2q 3A24 OM ua4M uaddaq l3IM 124M samil poo& ui 83x24 sas121 Ago a413! 1242 pal2ls pun ..4Ai 1uu2a4 la&pnq 8 14$mol 013mo0 021114 paldmold luam112daQ aogod a43 Aq pal0alloo saug &uis2aloui Aq anuanal &1118231011 &uip12&a1 launo3 a42 ul a10i1re 341 1241 palels pun •-'N -129A 8141 833C21 982310111 lou put S1E3A 3A 1221Z1 341103 83x21 pa13M01 atm' am 1241 si 2012 mo ammo aldoad o1 puri 04 a&2ssam &tolls 21241 palels pun .

Ayes: Six. Absent: Jordan. Motion carried. 111706 - Getty/Krizek that the hearing be closed and oral and written comments be received and placed on file. Ayes: Six. Absent: Jordan. Motion carried. The Council recessed at 5:58 P.M. The Council reconvened at 6:14 p.m. 111707 - Mayor Rooff stated that he tried to locate Councilperson Jordan because he does not want to adopt the FY 2000 Budget until a full council is present. Getty/Krizek that the council adjourn at 6:17 p.m. Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Councilperson Anders stated that he feels it would be a good thing not to raise taxes, that he supports the budget as submitted, but we are close to the $16.50 tax levy. Mayor Rooff stated that the budget has been squeezed to the 1 percent tax increase, but if council wants to reduce it to the $16.50 tax levy we will find the additional $200,000. Mayor Rooff stated that the council sets the policy and if the council wants to adopt the $16.50 tax levy we will find a way to do it. Councilperson Krizek stated that Mayor Rooff and staff have worked lots of hours on the proposed budget, and she has concerns as to where we can find the additional $200,000. Will positions not be funded, and what positions will not be funded, code enforcement, police or fire. Councilperson Krizek stated that before we approve the $16.50 tax levy, she would like to know where the additional $200,000 will come from. Mayor Rooff stated that we would not eliminate all vacant positions to lower to the $16.50 levy, but that additional $200,00 could take away from any cushion we had in the budget. Jim Rodemeyer, Personnel Director, stated that there are currently 24 vacant positions. Councilperson Krizek stated that is the cost to do business. A one percent increase is the cost of doing business over the past five years. Councilperson Collier asked if travel could be cut. Mr. Meisinger reported that travel has already been cut and what is left will not cover the $200,000. With the approval of the mover and seconder, the motion to adjourn was withdrawn. Murphy/Anders. that "Resolution approving FY 2000 Budget in the amount of $24,140,238, with a tax levy rate of $16.50 per one thousand dollars of valuation", be adopted. Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Councilperson Murphy stated that he has all the confidence that we can do the $16.50 tax levy, but we will have to realize that this is a tight year and there is no money for special projects. Councilperson Anders stated that Mayor Rooff and his staff have spent so much time to get to the $16.67 tax levy and hopefully we will reach the $16.50 tax levy in the right way. xial3 AID uaxog AouuN •pauno uogoysl .uupior :ivasgy .x!s :soAy m ci Z£:9 iu uinofpu pounoj aql 2s42 319z1t}l/AIIarJ - 60L I I I 811-6661 •oN pau3iss2 JokuN Sul lsnoidds uodn pus paldopu uounlosag *minor :ivasgy xis :saAy paidop2 aq `„uogenlun;o snllop puusnogl auo lad 05.91$ ;o 3123 Anal xui 2 41Tm `8£Z`OI'I 'Ks 3o lunotue aq; ut Ia8png 000z Ad 8mnoidds uoiinlosag„ Imp siapuy/A4dinyQ - SOLI I I .paureo uoUoyq umpior :Iuasgy .3!s :saAy •uolisanb ay. quo o2 Aiiap ilnsai sun 02 atuoo of pounoa alp ssaipp2 of uosiad u a3lsi u P?P Aim `Anal xui 05.91$ aqi Nope uuo am Iaa; Jim puu Moog loSEINji palsy Ana° uosiadliounoD suoT isod lama; JO uonlsno ssal paau ammo am 224u Sul&2s si paunoo Anal 3c22 OS -9I$ aqi Sundop2 Ag •uotsioap Aogod u Si 000`00Z$ TeuoIuppu u2 iaSpnq a41 $uuamo-1 .Anal xui t9.91$ aqi of 202 of 1120 Aa42 Stipp/W/o auop an24 pis pus aq 2242 pains ,goog ioAsy j 17 022d 6661 `6 4o-elnl March 15, 1999 - Page 5 TRAVEL REQUESTS 111730 - Gronen/Collier that thefollowing travel requests, with expenses not to exceed amount shown, be received, placed on file and approved: 1.
