by Council Member Hughes. Results of vote: Ayes: Bergman, Hughes, Lyon, Peterson. Nays:
None. Absent: Harrison. Motion carried 4 – 0 – 1. (Resolution #16-343)
E. Work Session:
1) Dog park update – Shauna Gehring, chairperson of the dog park committee, presented to the
council. Also in attendance were committee members Mandy McWherter and Gillian Howard. Ms.
Gehring asked the council for support to fund and build the project, reviewing proposed size and
amenities, cost estimates, possible user fees, estimated annual revenue, and construction
completion date. The committee is willing to help with fundraising. Mayor Peard stated that the
council was in support of the project. Council Member Lyon asked about pet waste removal; Ms.
Gehring replied that pet waste stations would be installed in the dog park and that users would be
responsible for picking up after their dogs. Parks and Recreation Director Jermier discussed lawn
maintenance in the dog park area.
2) Sugar Creek Golf operations update – Parks and Recreation Director Jermier reviewed
expenditures and revenues for the past several fiscal years and updated the council on bridge
replacement and sewer line construction.
3) Raccoon River Valley Trailhead financing update – Parks and Recreation Director Jermier
discussed fundraising efforts to date on the public art project, thanking Jim Miller (in attendance)
and Randy Jensen for their work. Mr. Jermier reviewed an upcoming agreement for installation of
the art piece, adding that the City will pay for the project upfront before receiving reimbursable
grant funding. The art piece installation must begin this year in order to receive certain grant
funding.
4) Waukee Public Library facility and equipment – Library Director Larson updated the council on
HVAC issues at the Library, noting certain recent facility closures due to air conditioning unit
failures. The Library Board of Trustees is working on a maintenance contract to test all HVAC
equipment in the building and recommend a replacement schedule. Council Member Peterson
stated that there have been regular, unexpected, costly repairs to the Library building and
equipment and that the council should take a hard look at the facility. Mayor Peard replied that the
council needs to look at how to move forward; the Library has had some expensive repairs in the
past but now the City must address ongoing maintenance. Brian Hughes, Waukee Public Library
2
Trustee, addressed the council and stated that, if there are plans for a new library facility in the
near future, it may impact plans for improvements to the current facility. Mayor Peard responded
that the status of the current facility and future needs are two different matters. Council Member
Hughes expressed frustration that each past repair has been promised as the last, but problems
continue. Mayor Peard spoke in favor of an assessment of all City buildings, adding that the
Library facility was the responsibility of the Library Board of Trustees. City Administrator Moerman
volunteered to work with Ms. Larson and the Library Board of Trustees to draft a strategy on the
matter.
5) City employee wellness program – Human Resource Director Holden reviewed some of the
aggregate results from a recent employee health screening and proposed that the City collaborate
with the Waukee Family YMCA on reduced membership fees and other incentives for City
employees.
6) Requests for temporary street parking – City Clerk Schuett and Police Chief Quinn reviewed
staff concerns with allowing temporary parking in “no parking” zones. City Administrator Moerman
suggested enforcing the parking ordinance as written, with no temporary parking allowances
granted, and reviewing the matter during goal setting if the council wishes to address it at that
time. The council agreed with Mr. Moerman’s recommendation.
7) Street parking enforcement – Police Chief Quinn discussed the issue of vehicle owners slightly
moving their vehicles in order to comply with the street parking time limit, but stated that law
enforcement can do no more than mark the tires of a non-compliant vehicle and check to see if the
vehicle has been moved. Council Member Hughes wondered if parking could be restricted on
those City streets with a tree canopy; Council Member Bergman replied that there should be a
reason more compelling than parked cars as an eyesore to make street parking more restrictive.
8) Temporary rentals in residential zoning districts – Development Services Director Deets
proposed ordinance language to impose a minimum time period for temporary rentals; the
language is similar to that in West Des Moines and Urbandale codes. Council Member Hughes
asked if homes currently used as temporary rentals would be grandfathered in; Mr. Deets replied
in the negative. Council Member Lyon expressed reluctance to impose regulations on how
residents can use their own homes.
9) Traffic Monitoring Installation Project review – Public Works Director Gibson briefly reviewed
the project.
10) Trail alignment at crossings adjacent to Hickman Road – Public Works Director Gibson
discussed the history of the trail alignment design.
11) Mini roundabout discussion – Public Works Director Gibson proposed a mini roundabout for the
intersection of SE Boone Drive and SE Olson Drive as a low-cost option to increase safety while
preventing traffic stoppages. Nathan Hardisty with Shive-Hattery reviewed the proposed project.
Council Member Peterson voiced concern with pedestrian safety, specifically children walking to
and from Eason Elementary School; Mr. Gibson noted a similar roundabout design near a school
in Johnston that does not appear to have issues with pedestrian crossings. Council Member Lyon
asked if there was a problem with the SE Boone Drive and SE Olson Drive intersection; Mr.
Hardisty replied that school traffic was causing safety concerns. Council Member Bergman asked
for additional statistics on how roundabouts improve safety; Mr. Hardisty quoted certain statistics
on traffic safety improvements, but did not have any information at this time on pedestrian safety.
Mr. Gibson reviewed the probable costs of the project, noting that grant funding was available
through the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) Traffic Safety Improvement Program. Due
to a 08/15 application submittal deadline, Mr. Gibson suggested the council authorize the
application for IDOT funding (agenda item F1) with the understanding that the application could be
pulled if the council decides against the project.
12) Waukee Standard Specifications update – Public Works Director Gibson discussed the
standard specifications review process, then highlighted some of the proposed updates.
13) Water contract – Public Works Director Gibson reviewed a potential water feasibility study
agreement.
14) Urban Renewal Plan update – Development Services Director Deets presented an overview of
proposed amendments and modifications to the City’s urban renewal areas.
