(2)Pledge of Allegiance
(3)Roll Call-The following members were present:Mayor Mark D.Leslie,and
Council Members Nicholas Gruber,Donald Bailey,Jr.,Mike Watts,Bill Peard and
Wayne Johnson.
(4)Open Forum -Bill Lillis,300 Bank of America Bldg.,appearing on behalf of
St.Francis of Assissi,is requesting permission to use some of the bonding
capacity available to the city during the current year.St.Francis of Assissi is not
in the City of Waukee;however,the St.Francis School is part ofthe Waukee
school district and approximately 150 families living within the Waukee city
limits are members of Saint Francis.Linda Kniep of the Ahlers Law Finn and a
resident of Waukee,also present,discussed the type of bond issuance being
requested.She indicated that this issuance would not effect the City's ability to
borrow,There is a provision in the Internal Revenue Code that if the city doesn't
expect to issue more than ten million of bonds in a year,it can be treated as a
qualified small issuer.This borrowing would be a conduit issue for the school
and would not be a borrowing of the city and would effect only the 10 million
limit this calendar year.The City would not be liable or responsible for the
borrowing and the borrowing would not effect the City's borrowing capacity.Mr.
Lillis,Ms.Kniep and members of the St.Francis Finance Committee requested a
meeting with city staff and with the City's bond counsel to review this bond
issuance and to structure the agreement so that the city has no liability or
responsibility for the bond issuance other than providing the small borrower
qualification for this year.Although contacted,both West Des Moines and Dallas
County do not have sufficient borrowing capacity remaining this year.Mark
Arentsen spoke with the City's bond counsel who indicated that as a practical
matter there would not be a risk for the city to participate in tins process.The
council instructed staff to proceed with the discnssion and set up a time for a
special meeting of the council to consider setting a public hearing date.
LalTYLyons of 610 Boone Drive as the city representative to the Dallas County
Airport Master-planning Committee gave a report to the Council as to what has
occurred to this date.McClure Engineering for Fort Dodge has been awarded tile
contract to perform the feasibility study for the Dallas County Airport,which is
being funded by private(70%)and public sources(30%).The City of Waukee will
pay $5,000 toward tins report,The [mal report is expected in August 2003.
Kent Peterson of Des Moines and a UPS driver for tile past 25 years is concerned
with the addressing for those homes that are east of Warrior Lane and south of
Hickman -the Southeast Quadrant.Those streets either need to be East or they
need to be Southeast for easier location of homes for those unfamiliar with
Waukee.

(22)Motion:Regarding library parking lot concrete -Should the City require removal
and replacement of recently installed parking area or take a monetary credit for the
work and leave the concrete in place?Linda Mack,Director of the Library,present to
discuss the curbing from the Library Board's perspective.Poor craftsmanship has
resulted in a curb that was supposed to be a circle and is currently a series of straight lines
in the fonn of a circle.The architect recommends that we have them tear out the entire
circle and have it replaced.Another suggestion was to cut out only the curb and have it
replaced,which would create additional cuts where heaving and cracking could take
place.The Library Board met Friday,August 15 at one o'clock and recommended that
the concrete pour remain in place and that the City inspector and chief maintenance
official give the Library Board an estimate of the replacement cost of the circle drive
which is estimated by the Board as being approximately $23,000.The Library Board
would not expect to receive the estimate amount of money back;but would decrease
payment to Rochon Corporation Inc by that amount,This amount would remain in the
library fund.Mark Arentsen indicated the City Inspector reviewed it and indicated that
there was approximately $13,000 of concrete and the total value would be approximately
$34,000.The sub-contractor disputed this amount.After further discussion,Don Bailey,
Jr.moved to ask the contractor to correct the mistake to the satisfaction of the Code
Compliance Officer.If it can't be done,they will have to come back -tear out and
replace.Wayne Johnson second.Roll call:Ayes:Bailey,Johnson,Peard,Watts,Gruber,
Nays:None.Motion carried 5 -O.
REPORTS:No reports were given this evening.
Mayor Leslie asked for a motion to adjoum.Mike Watts moved.Wayne Johnson second,
Ayes:All.Nays:None.Motion carried 5-0.
