Resolution:Naming New Waukee Library the Virginia Clark Memorial Library.The
naming of the library was recommended by Councilman Watts,he felt it was right to
name it after Virginia Clark because of all the work she has done for the library in past
years.Councilman Berger felt that the naming of the library should not come from the
City Council but rather as a recommendation from the Library Board because of future
fund raising issues.Mayor Bailey had spoken prior to the meeting with the Library
Board about this issue and believes that naming the library is an appropriate function of
the City Council.Joe Schmidt,a member of the Library Board,would like to go on the
record to say that he is in favor of naming the library after Virginia Clark,but would like
for a committee to be set up specifically for naming the library.Motion by Berger,
second by Peard to return this issue to the Library Board of Trustees and have them bring
a recommendation to the City Council.Ayes:Berger,Peard,Watts,Gruber.Nays:
None.Motion carried 4-0.
Mayor's Report:The Mayor reported on several items:1)Commercial Permits year to
date are lower so far this year compared to last,but is anticipating with the site plans that
have come through that will change.2)The Mayor read a proclamation establishing the
11
week of May 20-26 as National Public Works Week.3)Read a complaint from Marilyn
Taylor of 670 Kaylin Dr.about Hickory Tech tearing up her yard.4)Read a letter from
Dr.Stalker,Superintendent of the Waukee Schools,thanking the police and fire
departments on their quick response to the death of (teacher)Dean Dawson.5)The
family of Bob Applegate would like to express a thank you for the expression of
sympathy from the city.6)On June 13,2001 a professor from the University of Iowa
will be in town.7)Alice Wicker,County Supervisor,has an assistance program for
persons over 60 years old to help pay for the high cost of the utility bills.8)Recognized
and thanked Dick Nesselroad for Citizen of the Year.9)Acknowledged the ribbon
cutting for Charter Bank.10)Received a letter from the state auditors and would like a
report to find out if we are going to file the recommendation for the extra funds.11)
Gave the Council the official notice of the veto for the Fire Truck purchase based on the
specifications and the process that took place.A copy of the letter is shown below.

I am giving official notice of my veto of the council action that occurred April 23
accepting the bids fur a new fire truck from Toyne.This veto is based on information I
researched regarding the specifications.The basis for this veto is I am not convinced the
specifications as written allow for the best way to spend taxpayers dollars.I also have
concerns abont how the bidding process occurred.

SENTENCE THEREOF,THE WORD "VINYL"IN SAID SECTION.
Motion:Approving Establishment of City Planner Position.No information on this
issue was available.It will be brought back at the May 21 Council meeting.The Council
took no action on this matter.
Resolution:Determination of Direction Regarding Purchase of Tanker Fire Truck.
This is the item that Mayor Bailey vetoed earlier in the meeting.Councilman Gruber
asked the Mayor to give an explanation as to which part of the specifications he did not
approve of.The Mayor responded that he would like to meet with the Truck Committee
on the Fire Department and go over the specs and try to make sure they are the most
proper specs possible.Mayor Bailey believes we should repair the pumper tanker we
have now and make sure we are spending the tax payers dollars in the most proper way
possible.He doesn't support replacing the pumper tanker with a tanker truck.
Councilman Gruber asked Mayor Bailey to be more specific on the information he
researched and exactly which specifications he is referring to in the veto letter.His
reasons are as follows:
1.2000 gallon tank with lifetime warranty -made of what material:poly,
aluminum,or steel'!
2.18hp gas portable pump mounted and plumbed in drivers side compartment -how
could that pump be portable if it is mounted,how much water would it deliver?
3.Aluminum body with compartments ahead of the rear wheels both drivers and
passenger side -what's the size and thickness of the body?What size are the
compartments?Are they designed to hold air bottles?
4.2 V2 "steamer intake for pump and a 2"refill line.This may be confusing or need
a 4 to 4 V2 connection.
5.Concemed with spending that much money on a truck that holds only water.
6.Believes that the huck we have light now could be repaired for possibly $7000
and would like to repair that huck as well as take a look at what we currently
have.The plan for the City and the State Commission called for a purchase of a
23
pumper tanker and perhaps is the way to go and would like to stay on track with
the plan the city commissioned.
7.The bidding process was sent out to 5 companies and only 4 had bid on it.It
should have gone out to more people.
Mayor Bailey would like to make it clear that this is no reflection on any particular
company,fire fighter,fire chief,or volunteers who risk their life for a community service.
)
Councilman Peard stated that he has not heard any member of the public question the
bidding process.Jeff Carberry from EDM Equipment representing El fire trucks stated
that his company was the one of the five that did not bid.He stated that his company did
not bid because they had provided prices to the City on trucks just prior to the time the
City requested bids.He also stated that the specifications were too generic making it¥difficult to compar bids.Mayor Bailey stated that the portion of the specifications that
required 20 years 0 experience was too limiting.He felt that 10 years experience should
be sufficient.Cou cilman Gruber stated that e City purposely made the specifications
~1genelic so that rna ufacturers would not be e mi ted.~~1"J Assistant Chief CI nt Robinson stated that e May r's veto made the impossible job he\J'.!.J has as Chief that uch more difficult.Th veto del ys the process of providing timely~f .~fire protection.T e type of tank was pUI osely left ut of the specifications to ensure
~'"that a variety of bi responses could be c nsidered.ayor Bailey reiterated his position.r-that the existing tr ck should be repaire .He stated that the City needs to retain the two
~'existing trucks in e event that there ar two fires si ultaneously.Purchasing a pumper
~~tanker may cost m re but is more cost e fective in th long run.He reiterated his interest
~in meeting with th Truck Committee.ore funds c uld be made available in the next
budget process.C uncilman Peard inq ired as to wh the Fire Department is replacing
the pumper tanker ith just a pumper.obinson stat d that the Department currently
receives the highest number of points p ssible from t e Insurance Services Office (ISO)
for pump capacity.n addition,the cUI ent number of ersonnel would not allow for a
response to more th n one fire at a tim .Reducing th number of trucks from two to one
is more efficient in t at only two peop are required t run the truck rather than the four
people who are requi ed now for the t 0 trucks.Robin on stated that Department
representatives are wi ling to meet wit the Mayor but H is concerned with the amount
of time this will add t the truck repla ement process.e stated that he does not know if
the existing truck can e repaired for 7,000.The truck i a 70's model.He did not feel
that repairing it was wi e use of taxp ers funds.One of he firefighters stated that it
would cost about $10,0 to place a ew tank on the 22 y old truck.He estimated the
pump repair cost at $5,00 to $10,00 .Both existing tank 'S are over 20 years old.
Councilman Peard stated t at it wou d be irresponsible to s IJld money repairing the
existing trucks.
Councilman Watts stated that as offended by several things.He agrees with the
Mayor that the City should purchase a pumper tanker.Even if the cost is another
$100,000 Watts stated that he supported the pumper tanker purchase.Robinson stated
that a new pumper tanker would cost over $250,000 and would caITYonly 1,000 gallons
of water.Gruber stated that the City paid $7,000 to repair this truck several years ago
which in retrospect was not a good idea.

Watts stated that he voted no because Chief Schmitt stated his company,Toyne,Inc.,
would not be submitting a bid.Schmitt was requesting pricing on trucks before he
approached the Council about replacing the truck.Watts stated that he was offended by
the letter he received from Toyne,Inc.Watts read from the letter,"Mark Schmitt and I
discussed from an employee/employer standpoint as he was concerned about how he
would feel about him being an employee of our Company as Waukee Fire Chief,
purchasing a fire truck from a different manufacturer."Like no matter what we're
buying it off Toyne anyway.OK"I told Mark that,you know,purchasing another fire
truck from a different manufacturer,you know,it wo dn look good on Toynes'
company their Fire Chief working for them purch ing a tuck from ..."At this point
Assistant C .IefRobinson stated that he didn't ntrol To e.Peard asked Watts what
was imprope .Watts stated that Schmitt sou t prices fr m vendors before the Council
directed hi to go look for a truck.Schmit ad said his company would not be
submitting ids for a truck which is why (Watts)au orized Schmitt to research prices
on a new t ck.Schmitt was not able to ind a truck.e then did not turn the process
over to his lleagues.Watts then ask full time fire an Jeff Spencer if he called
around to g t these bids and he said h did.He (Watts then asked Spencer who he
reported to.eff stated Mark Schmi .Jeff Spencer st ted that was not correct,He
indicated to atts that he reported 0 the Truck Co ittee not Chief Schmitt.Peard
asked Watts f he thought Schmitt ad acted imprope Iy.Watts stated that yes he thought
Schmitt had'cted improperly.atts stated that the ids should be rejected and the
process starte over.Gruber st ed that he was cone rned with Watts trying to negotiate
with Midwest Fire Equipment fter the bids were op ned.Watts stated that he did not do
that.
Mayor Bailey stated that the ire Department is in a difficult position.He asked that the
Council allow him to meet ith the Department an move ahead.Gruber stated that a
full Council s ould be pres nt before any further ac ion on this is taken.
Robinson state that the b d process can be split int two parts.The first was when the
emergency pur hase was eing considered.Schmit did know the prices that several
potential vendo s had on their lot before bids were quested.At the time the Council
directed the Dep rtmen to seek bids,Schmitt was longer a part of the truck
acquisition proc s.T Truck Committee took ov r the process at that point.Watts
stated that no one ept im informed on who was g ing to bid.City Administrator
Arentsen stated th ere was no way to know who lanned to bid.Robinson stated that
he was done talking about this.Mayor Bailey again sked the Council's permission to
meet with the Department regarding the specificatio s.Peard stated that the only thing
that would be accomplished with more meetings is a extension of the process.Mayor
Bailey asked Peard what should be done.Peard state that the existing bids should be
used.Watts stated that the Council would first need t override the Mayor's veto.Watts
stated that he had confronted Schmitt on why his com any was bidding when Schmitt
said they were not going to bid.Watts stated that Sch itt's response was offensive.
Schmitt then resigned the next day.Schmitt had stated that he would not bid on the
truck.Watts stated that other bidders should have been solicited on this project.
Peard stated that Schmitt did not receive a commission n this sale.City Attorney Paul
Huscher stated that there was no conflict of interest with Schmitt in this process.Huscher
25
asked the representative from EDM equipment if he understood if he was providing
information on the sale of a truck to the City of Waukee.The representati ve stated that
Schmitt had asked him the first time if EDM had a truck that could be ready in 3 to 4
weeks.Schmitt had stated that his company,Toyne,could not provide a truck at this
time.The representative stated that he would not provide a price since the City only buys
Toyne trucks.After thinking further about it,EDM decided to see what they could find
as a demonstration unit that could be provided quickly.They located a truck which met
most of the City's requirements.He provided prices to Schmitt on March 15.Watts
stated that this was before Schmitt discussed this issue with the Council.The EDM
representative stated that they received a request for bids about a week later.It was
EDM's impression that Schmitt had obtained prices from EDM and other vendors and
then was able to build something lower than the price range of other companies.Toyne's
bid price is just $1,000 under EDM's bid price.There were too many coincidences.
EDM did not send in a response to the request for bids because he thought games were
being played with the bids.Mayor Bailey again stated that he would like to meet with the
Truck Committee.Robinson stated he would talk to the Truck Committee about a time.
The mayor stated that he hoped that some common ground could be found to keep this
issue moving.Peard stated that if the Mayor meets with the Council that two Council
members should also be present.
A motion was then made by Councilman Gruber,second by Councilman Peard to table
the Resolution.Ayes:Gruber,Peard,Watts,Berger.Nays:None.Motion carried 4-0.

stated that he had confronted Schmitt on why his company was bidding when Schmitt
said they were not going to bid.Watts stated that Schmitt's response was offensive.
Schmitt then resigned the next day.Schmitt had stated that he would not bid on the
truck.Watts stated that other bidders should have been solicited on this project.
Peard stated that Schmitt did not receive a commission on this sale.City Attorney Paul
Huscher stated that there was no conflict of interest with Schmitt in this process.Huscher
asked the representative from EDM equipment ifhe understood if he was providing
information on the sale of a truck to the City of Waukee.The representative stated that
Schmitt had asked him the first time ifEDM had a truck that could be ready in 3 to 4
weeks.Schmitt had stated that his company,Toyne,could not provide a truck at this
time.The representative stated that he would not provide a price since the City only buys
Toyne trucks.After thinking further about it,EDM decided to see what they could fmd
as a demonstration unit that could be provided quickly.They located a truck which met
most of the City's requirements.He provided prices to Schmitt on March 15.Watts
stated that this was before Schmitt discussed this issue with the Council.The EDM
representative stated that they received a request for bids about a week later.It was
EDM's impression that Schmitt had obtained prices from EDM and other vendors and
then was able to build something lower than the price range of other companies.Toyne's
bid price is just $1,000 under EDM's bid price.There were too many coincidences.
EDM did not send in a response to the request for bids because he thought games were
being played with the bids.Mayor Bailey again stated that he would like to meet with the
Truck Committee.Robinson stated he would talk to the Truck Committee about a time.
The mayor stated that he hoped that some common ground could be found to keep this
issue moving.Peard stated that if the Mayor meets with the Council that two Council
members should also be present.

Dear Council Members,
I am giving official notice of my veto of the council action that occurred April 23
accepting the bids for a new fire truck from Toyne.This veto is based on information I
researched regarding the specifications.The basis for this veto is I am not convinced the
specifications as written allow for the best way to spend taxpayers dollars.I also have
concerns about how the bidding process occurred.
I
-Mayor Donald L.Bailey,Jr.
