Home My WebLink About01/04/1999January 4, 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, January 4, 1999. Mayor John R. Rooff in the Chair. Roll Call: Getty, Murphy, Jordan, Krizek, Gronen, Collier. Absent: Anders. ORAL PRESENTATIONS 111398 - Robert Sieglaff, 914 West Third Street, stated that he feels that during snowfalls the city should enforce even/odd parking. This would make snow removal easier and simpler on every street. Mr. Sieglaff stated that he feels the city should have no parking in the downtown from 1:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. Mr. Sieglaff stated there is enough off-street parking to accommodate the vehicles now parking in the downtown during these hours. Mr. Sieglaff also would like the city to create an ordinance which would prohibit parking on the grass in front of residences. The resident at 1330 Dearborn stated that he has a petition with signatures of citizens opposing the Muslim cemetery which is on the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission agenda on Tuesday, January 5, 1998. Don Temeyer, City Planner, stated that the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission will review the permit request to build a Muslim cemetery. If approved by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission, the request will then go before the Board of Adjustment. Mayor Rooff stated that Mr. Sieglaff's suggestion to enforce odd/even parking during snowfalls merits review, especially in congested areas with on -street parking. Mayor Rooff praised the Street Department's efforts over the past 48 hours in removing the snow from city streets. Mayor Rooff stated that he had an opportunity to have breakfast with six children last Saturday, and Mayor Rooff feels it is important that we not forget our youth in 1999. Mayor Rooff thanked Fire Chief Frank Magsamen and the Fire Department for their efforts in fighting the recent fire at Construction Machinery. Mayor Rooff also thanked the generous citizens of the Cedar Valley Area for supporting the Salvation Army in their annual Christmas kettle drive. The Salvation Army exceeded its $250,000 goal.
