Home My WebLink About02/01/1999February 1, 1999 The Council of the City of Waterloo, Iowa, met in Regular Session at City Hall Council Chambers, Waterloo, Iowa, at 7:00 p.m., on Monday, February 1, 1999. Mayor John R. Rooff in the Chair. Roll Call: Getty, Murphy, Jordan, Krizek, Gronen, Collier, Anders. ORAL PRESENTATIONS 111501 - Mary Haais, 116 Courtland, reported that she has noticed that sidewalks are not being shoveled, garbage cans are being left at the curb and cars are parked in the middle of streets because of the snow. Ms. Haais stated that the Street Department is doing a good job, but it is difficult for the plows to remove the snow because of the cars. Mayor Rooff asked Councilperson Joe Collier to talk to the Neighborhood Association in Ms. Haais' area to enlist help from the citizens in eliminating these types of problems. Councilperson Getty stated that he was in shock when he read a recent article in the Waterloo Courier regarding the Public Safety line item and how much that budget was overspent in F.Y. 1998. As chairperson of the Public Safety Committee, Councilperson Getty stated that he thought the budget was under control, and that Public Safety actually under spent its budget. Bruce Meisinger, Finance Manager, reported that in May 1998, as required, a number of amendments were made to the Public Safety budget to correct unforeseen expenditures. Mr. Meisinger stated that the F.Y. 1998 budget ended up with a total of $13 million under spent for all line items. Mayor Rooff stated that he and the council try to anticipate any changes, but this administration is committed to public safety. Councilperson Getty stated that the article concerned him because the Public Safety Committee works with the Police and Fire Departments. Mayor Rooff stated that he was out of town on Monday, January 25, 1999, but he heard that it was reported at the council meeting that the National Guard is coming to our city. Mayor Rooff stated that his trip to New York and Washington was very successful. Representatives from the city met with Moodys to discuss the upcoming $14 million Refunding General Obligation Bond sale. The sale of the bonds could save the city up to $400,000 in interest. Mayor Rooff reported that he also attended the Conference of Mayors in Washington, D.C. Mayor Rooff stated that the new budget from President Clinton- focuses on cities, affordable housing and education, which are the same issues facing this administration. Getty/Jordan that the above oral comments be received and placed on file. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. Invocation by: Reverend Charles Orr, Chaplain, Cedar Falls Western Home.
