June 4,2001
(1)Call to Order -The May 21,2001 meeting ofthe Waukee City Council was called to
order by Mayor Bailey at 7:00 PM.The Mayor asked for a roll call.
(2)Roll Call-The following members were present:Mayor Donald L.Bailey,Jr,and
Council members Nicholas Gruber,Marvin Berger,Mike Watts,and Wayne Johnson.
Councilman Bill Peard absent.
(3)Open Forum -Councilman Mike Watts read a statement into the minutes concerning
the fire truck issue:
This is in regards to Councilman Berger's words on protecting the
taxpayer and playing politics.When this whole process started,our
volunteer part-time Fire Chief,Mark Schmitt,stated that the fire
department was in need of a 2000 gallon tanker truck.He explained the
situation,and stated it was an emergency that a truck be purchased as soon
as possible.I voted yes,to see what was out there that could be delivered
immediately.He stated that Toyne Mfg.(a builder of fire apparatus,and
also where Schmitt is employed)would not be providing a truck to the
City of Waukee because they were ten to twelve months out.Had he
stated that they would be in the running on a new truck purchased,that
would have changed things.In the meantime,Mark talked with four
different manufacturers to see what they offered.Then,3 1/2 weeks went
by,I received my council packet and Toyne Mfg.had won the bid.There
was nothing illegal about that,but I had no information that Toyne would
be bidding.I became involved in this,and I raised several questions.The
main one was why were only five companies solicited to bid on this truck.
Four companies that Mark had received prices from.The fifth company
was Toyne,where Mark works.
There were questions about safety of our community and rural areas.As
Berger stated,we have two new pumpers at this time.They do hold water,
750 gallons and 1000 gallons.The new truck we are purchasing is to
transport more water to a fire scene,where there is no water available.I
have looked at both trucks we have,and there is no doubt we need a new
one.
Councilman Berger stated that he does not feel that a mayor or council
member need to be involved in these issues.I totally disagree.A council
member cannot take staff recommendations every time.The citizens do
not hold staff members accountable on decisions.They hold their elected
officials accountable.When I was elected as a representative of our city,I
stated I would work hard for the citizens.That is what I am doing and that
is what I will continue to do.
There wasn't any other participation in open forum to report.
Councilman Bill Peard present at 7:08.
(4)Agenda Additions /Approval-No changes.Motion made and seconded to approve
the agenda as written.Ayes:All Nays:None.Motion carried 5-0.
(5)Consent Agenda -Mayor Bailey questioned the Triplett Office Supply purchases
and credits.All of the Triplett entries listed on the June 4th bill list had been listed on the
May 21st bill list.The Mayor asked,if these hadn't been paid before.The Treasurer
indicated that the invoices hadn't been paid or didn't show as having been paid because
the credit balance was greater than the expenditures.The Mayor indicated that the
problem is that the invoices listed for Triplett were duplicates ofthose listed last month.
Each months expenditures should be unduplicative of a previous month unless the
expenditures are equal and new for the month.The bottom line should reflect
unduplicated entries for each month.According to Councilman Berger,although the
system is such that the invoices can't be paid until a later date,the Treasurer should back
out of or subtract those items,which have been entered on the previous month's bill list.
This will prevent duplicative entries on the bill list presented to the Council.Further
questions were directed to the Public Works Director,Treasurer and the City
Administrator concerning other purchases or entries.
Councilman Berger and Watts directed the Deputy City Clerk to correct the minutes in
four different areas.Corrections will be made.
A.Approve Payroll and Bill List
B.Approve May 14 and May 21 City Council Minutes
C.Approve Cigarette permit for Fareway Store and Casey's Stores at
425 Ashworth and 1955 E.University &Class B beer permit for
Waukee Jaycees,July 4,2001
Berger moved,Watts second to approve all items.Ayes:Gruber,Berger,Watts,Peard,
Johnson Nays:None.Motion carried 5-0.

(12)Resolution:Set July 2 as the Date of the Public Hearing on the Resolution of
Necessity for 2001 Sidewalk Project,1"&Bel-Aire sidewalks.Concern was expressed
that July 2nd could be part of an extended weekend for some families because of the July
4th holiday.Meeting on the 25th will be an informational meeting for individual owners.
Paul Huscher,City Attorney,clarified the concept of Council Meeting by reading a
definition of a meeting from the code."A meeting means a gathering in person or by
electronic means formal or informal of a majority of the members of a governmental
body where there is deliberation or action upon any matter within the scope of the
governmental body's policy making duties.Meetings shall not include a gathering of
members of governmental body for purely ministerial or social purposes when there is no
discussion of policy or no intent to avoid the purpose of this chapter."Councilmen
Watts was concerned with the proposed sidewalk on Ashworth.In addition the Mayor
was concerned as to who made the decision to delete the Ashworth portion of the
sidewalk project.Rather than being deleted,the project is on hold because of the
problems with right-of-way west of the five-way stop to Sixth St.This project will be part
of the next council meeting when the types and number of projects to be funded will be
discussed.Mikelis Briedis indicated that we put the Ashworth portion back so as not to
slow down the Bel-Aire and First Street portion.The portion of Ashworth where we
don't have enough right-of-way will be worked through by paying for more right-of-way
or by moving the sidewalk across the street.This is a decision,which will still be
brought back to the Council.Councilman Watts is very concerned with lhe number of
individuals walking in the street on Ashworth from sixth to the Elementary School and
feels we need a crosswalk at Ashworth and Third.To keep the Ashworth project alive,
the City Engineer will send a letter to staff indicating the options as far as purchase of
right-of-way vs.constructing it within what is presently available or setting it on the
opposite side of the street.The City Administrator mentioned that this resolution doesn't
address the Sixth Street issue but that street is planned for construction this year.Mayor
Bailey requested a motion to approve the July 2nd date for the public hearing.Gruber
moved to approve.Berger second.Further discussion of the Public Meeting date
occurred.Two comments:4th of July celebrations held on Wednesday are traditionally
well attended because people don't take long weekends and those parties concerned who
wish to protest the sidewalk project or assessment may do so in writing,nnot present at
the public meeting.Roll call:Ayes:Gruber,Berger,Johnson.Nays:Peard,Watts.
Motion carried 3-2.

(13)Resolution:Proposed Valuation for Properties on Preliminary Assessment Plat and
Schedule,2001 Sidewalk Improvement Project.Mikelis Briedis,the City Engineer,
explained how and on what basis individual properties are assessed.He also discussed
the Code ofIowa in terms of excessive levy of assessments against property.Ifthe
special assessment exceeds 25%of the value ofthe property with the improvement in
place,the assessment is excessive.Where this would be most significant would involve a
vacant lot where the assessment for the improvement would be greater than the value of
the property.Iu the Sidewalk 2001 project,the limited dollars proposed are in all cases
less than the 25%assessed value of the property.Jim Phillips,240 Bel-Aire asked what
the average assessment for an 80'frontage would be.Mr.Briedis,indicated that for an
80'foot frontage with a 10'driveway,that is to say 70'of sidewalk,the preliminary
assessment would be $496.64.Large trees in the way have been circumvented in some
projects.Berger moved to approve to proposed valuations.Johnson second.Ayes:
Gruber,Berger,Watts,Peard,Johnson.Nays:None.Motion carried 5-0.
