AGENDA ITEM #lO:RECEIVEIFILE:Clarification of City Administrator's Work Arrangement,The
Mayor asked for this to be put on public record.The Mayor stated that on the weekend he sometimes has
trouble reaching City Administrator Mark Arentsen.Arentsen stated that he does not receive his cell phone
voice mails until he is out of the roam area.Councilman Peard stated that when he has had to contact Mark
he was able to reach him.City Administrator Arentsen stated that this should not be an issue after another
month when his family will relocate to Waukee.Arentsen also stated that with all of the good supervisors,
and city employees when a problem arises in any depart:lnent they are handled.He also stated that when he
has been here on the weekends he does respond to all phone calls or with any other request that are made.
The Mayor just asked for some clarifications for public record.
AGENDA ITEM #ll:RECEIVEIFILE:Discussion of Outstanding Amount Due from Jerry's Homes for
Geueral L.A.Grant Paving Project (Ashworth Road).Rick Ross stated there was an agreement on the
paving project on the L.A.Grant Parkway.They were to pay a percentage and the City was to pay a
percentage of this project.This was tied in with the Public Safety building.There were also some
discussions relative to cost sharing on utilities for the Parkview Crossing subdivision.A note indicating
that utility oversiziug charges would be paid by the City was included on the face sheet of the subdivision
plat.Rick stated that there were other costs such as service lines to the Public Safety Building and a
watermain extension on land owned by the School District which he also did not feel he should be paying
for.
Mik Bredis stated there was some discussion before Parkview Crossing was ever a plat as to how to serve
the Fox Creek drainage basin.A decision was made at that time that there would be a pumping station to
serve Fox Creek,that pumping station would pump back to the closest available trunk sewer which was
identified as the sewer that runs through Parkview Crossing.The concept is consistent will all previous
planning.Veenstra &Kimm does not have any formal agreement in any of their files.I
8
City Attorney Paul Huscher also did some checkiug to determine if there was any previous Council action
on this issue.It was not mentioned in any of the minutes.A statement on the preliminary plat indicated the
City would pay for utility oversizing.
Mark Arentsen stated that changes related to the sewer oversizing are $19,099.15.
Arentsen stated that City had an agreement with Jerry's Homes relative to the purchase of the Public Safety
building lot that described the paving cost sharing.Parkview Crossing utility oversizing was not part of the
agreement.
Rick Ross feels these were two different projects.The road and the Public Safety building as one and the
subdivision is a separate entity.
The Mayor would like to have the differences between the sized pipes looked into to find out if these
figures are correct.
The Mayor stated that any time the City has doue a sewer project the acreages that are served by that
project pay a proportion of the cost of the sewer line.He feels that the cost to get sewer to that area should
be paid by the developer.He doesn't feel that taxpayers should pay for this.
The Mayor asked for a motion to have the staff check the oversizing charges and also to research if these
other costs could be assessed to other areas that are going to use this sewer system.In addition,the
developer should pay the differeuce of the disputed amount and the amount that we show on the books as
being owed from the paving project.A motion was made by Council member Peard,second by Council
member Watts supporting the Mayor's request.The Mayor asked for a roll call vote and the following
Council members voted:Ayes:Peard,Watts,Berger,Gruber,and Johnson.Nays:None.Motion carried
5-0.
AGENDA ITEM #12:RECElVEIFILE:Discuss Posting Communicatious to City Council Rather Than
Photocopying.Council member Watts would like to have a bulletin board FOR council communications.
It is Mike's feeliug that not all of this information needs to be copied.Let the Council members choose
what is important to them.
Joshua stated that we are only allowed 10,000 copies per month and the rest is 3 cents per copy.He feels
this would be a good idea to try.
Mayor Bailey and Councilman Peard asked that they continue to receive copies of all information.
Motioned by Watts,second by Johnson to have correspondences posted instead of copied on a trial basis.
The Council members who still want all of their papers copied will have this done.The Mayor asked for a
roll call vote and the following Council members voted:Ayes:Watts,Johnson,Peard,Gruber,and Berger.
Nays:None.Motion carried 5-0.
AGENDA ITEM #13:RECElVEIFILE:Discuss ScreeninglEnclosures for Dumpsters.Councilman Watts
wanted this item addressed.He has received a copy of the ordinance.Dennis Dowell,Code Compliance
Officer,stated this was passed on September 14,1998 under the Site Plan Ordinance.The Mayor asked for
Councilman Watts to look at some of the dumpsters he is concerned about and discuss them with Dennis
Dowell.If he still wants this addressed at a future Council meeting then this will be placed on the agenda.
City Attorney Paul Huscher stated that there needs to be clarification on this subject.Currently dumpsters
are covered in the site plan ordinance.It's not in a general ordinance that covers everything.When people
file their site plan they need to provide a buffer.Paul stated that the Council needs to decide exactly what it
is talking about.The property maintenance ordinance needs to be enforced.Paul stated this needs to be
clarified to treat everyone the same under the ordinance ..

AGENDA ITEM #14:RECEIVEfFILE:Discussion of Ortonville Industrial Park.City Administrator ,
Mark Arentsen,discussed a memo that was distributed to the Council.Arentsen feels it is in the City's
best interest to pursue extension of the gas service to Ortonville.Public Works Director,John Gibson,has
done a good job in estimating the cost of the gas extension.The City should be careful about accepting
industrial wastewater because it can contain chemicals which could upset the wastewater treatment plant.
Summarizing in the memo;The County would like to retain Ortonville as an unincorporated area.Mark
stated he did not have a problem with that but the Council needs to make their decision on that issue.Mark
stated that there has been discussion with the City of Adel about what the ultimate boarders for the two
communities would be.Adel City Administrator,Vicki Moorehead,indicated that the Engineers from
Waukee,Dallas Center,Adel,DeSoto,and Van Meter should get together and discuss the topography and
where the natural break points are for establishing sewers.Mark wanted the Council aware that John and he
have been speaking to the County regarding extending gas service to this area and they will continue with
these discussions.
I
The Mayor asked John Gibson a question regarding item #3.It states:This connection is anticipated as
part of the utility's long term plan to keep two sources of supply of gas.The Mayor felt the City had an
agreement regarding the supply from the east from Mid Americau for two supplies.Gibsou was iu
agreement.He also stated that at the end of Mid America's Contract in 15 years it would give the City an
option for a supply if negations were to break down.During this time the City could look at putting aside a
small amount of money for that purpose each year.
Councilman Watts ask John Gibson why Mid American came down from $750,000 to $300,000.Gibson
stated Mid American's original plans were to extend a high pressure steel main from the west side of Adel
to Ortonville and that it was his understanding they changed to a low pressure from the east side of the city.
11Cities involved are trying to get boundary issues set so there will be no annexation problems in the future.
Motioned by Council member Watts,second by Council member Gruber to receive/file the information
regarding Ortonville Industrial Park.The Mayor asked for a roll call vote and the following Council
members voted:Ayes:Watts,Gruber,Berger,Johnson,and Peard.Nays:None.Motion carried 5-0.1

to R-16.The City of Urbandale would have the rights to annex properties north of Meredith Dr.from N.
10th Street to R-16.
The Mayor would like to have all of the questions answered before we enter into a moratorium agreement.
Paul Huscher stated that the statute allows a 10 year moratorium maximum.This can be extended foran
additional 10 years.
The Mayor asked for more research regarding the drainage basin,and a map showing where the Dallas
Center city limits are.Staff discussion with Urbandale find out if they do annex some of that property to
the west where Waukee extends north of Meredith how they would sewer that area and would if we would

AGENDA ITEM #21:RESOLUTION :Approving Tax Increment Financing District Policy for Rebate
Formatted TIP Districts.Joshua stated that the Economic Development Committee reviewed this issue and
concluded that any property that is zoned Commercial would be eligible for a rebate formatted TIP District.
This is different than a bonded TIP.In case of a rehate formatted TlF,the developer pays for installation
on the infrastructure (i.e.sewer,water,streets and possibly other improvements).The developer is also I
12
responsible for paying the property taxes for property in the TIP district.These tax payments are rebated to
the developer who then uses the rebated taxes to pay for the infrastructure improvements.
The Mayor stated the developer pays for the gas lines,Waukee holds the money and refunds the money as
those areas connect.The Mayor felt this was already in place.As a result gas service does not need to be
included as an eligible improvement.The Mayor asked that the gas service be removed as a fundable
improvement.
Joshua stated that the draft includes a provision that ancillary improvements will be allowed as negotiated
with the City Council.
Mayor would like to review how we handle storm water retention areas and run off.Mark stated the Camp
Plan could handle this.In the future as plats are approved and areas are identified for water retention on the
plat,we could require the developer to address the long term maintenance of these areas.
Mary White,670 Boone Dr,questioned the Tax Increment Finance (TIP)Policy,Specifically she asked
how long a TIP district can be in place,Statutorily,under Iowa Code,it can be in place for 20 years.The
Mayor stated that the City's policy would have an 18 years Sunset provision.Once the capital
improvements are paid for,the TIF will be retired,regardless of how many years have transpired.The
proposed policy also includes a provision that for the first 12 years,80%of the tax revenues would be used
by the deveoper to retire infrastructure costs,the remaining 20%would be retained by the City,School
District and County for regular budgetary purposes.For years 13 through 18,the split would change from
80120 to 50/50.Mary also questioned if a developer would TIP an area twice.Joshua stated no,unless
they wanted to TIP property that was commercially zoned,that had never been in a TIP district.That
would require a separate TIP district.
Moved by Councilman Berger,second by Peard to have this resolution revised and brought back to next
Council meeting for adoption.The Mayor asked for a roll call vote and the following Council members
voted:Ayes:Berger,Peard,Watts,Johnson,and Gruber.Nays:None,Motion carried 5-0.

RESOLUTION NO 00·25
OPPOSITION TO PROPERTY TAX FREEZE LEGISLATION
WHEREAS a proposed property tax limitation initiative would combine separate levies into one,reducing
the ability of taxpayers to know what their tax dollars are being used for;aud
WHEREAS a property tax limitatiou initiative would hamper the ability of communities to use a prudent
pay-as-you-go approach to address vital infrastructure needs if the debt service levy is included in a
revenue cap;and
WHEREAS allowing an inflationary adjustment in total revenue collection fails to give local government
the flexibility to address the future service demands of citizens and accommodating any emergencies that
may arise;and
WHEREAS there is no requirement that state government be restricted in the cost of programs and
services that it may pass on to local government,diverting limited funds from local priorities;and
WHEREAS communities are already subject to several tax limitatious including levy rate limits and the
residential rollback;and
WHEREAS a compelling case has not been made to warrant a property tax freeze,particularly considering
that only three out of 949 city budgets were protested and none were upheld at the state level;and
WHEREAS local efforts to spur job creation through the attraction of business and industry will be diluted
due to the disproportionate property tax burden a freeze would place on commercial property because of
potential levy rate increases;and I
16
WHEREAS a property tax freeze punishes the fiscally respousible communities that do not currently levy
at the maximum rates allowed under the law;
THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Waukee hereby states its opposition to any proposed
property tax freeze or any further limitations on its ahility to determine an appropriate balance between
taxes and services for the City of Waukee.
