POLICE CHIEF SCALLON reported to the council that Patrol Officer
Saleh would be leaving
January 3, 2006 for the eight (8) week
Law
Enforcement Academy at Western Iowa Tech Community College in Sioux
City. Scallon asked the council if they wanted her to take the ’94
city car and not have to pay her mileage. The car will be checked over
and she will take it. In Saleh’s absence, to “try” and avoid any wage
and hour violation, Brian Neuberger and Leland Williams, Police
Reserves, will fill in here and there.
The
Sex Offenders Ordinance is still being reviewed by City Attorney
Muhlenbruch. Both Scallon and Muhlenbruch have some concerns or
worries about this. Scallon stated that when we do get the Ordinance
drafted he is recommending that we hold all three (3) readings, not
waiving the 2nd and 3rd readings.
AVAS Representative Ken Reed reported to the council that during
their meeting last month they held their election of officers. He
thanked council member Meyer for being there and conducting the
election. The new officers are: President Ken Reed, Vice President
Mike Abbas, Secretary/Treasurer Diane Younker and Training Official
Duane Richtsmeier. Reed also reported that unit 322 should have the
front end check and that the surges a little. He also reported they
are having another special meeting of the AVAS Board of Trustees to
make job descriptions for the President and the newly formed office of
Assistant Medical Advisor to which Jeff Kurth has been appointed.
Council member Schneck volunteered to represent the council at their
next meeting on December 19th.
Mr. & Mrs. Merlin Lupkes approached the council concerning the
draining of a field tile into a pond in Prairie Bridges Park that was
tabled last month. City Administrator Nuss contacted the DNR and they
told him to do as we please but if it was up to them they would not
recommend it. After much discussion Mayor Boheman asked the council
for a motion to take this off the table and council member Meyer so
moved, seconded by Wiederkehr. Motion carried unanimously. “Doc” and
Dale said they had no problem with it and council member Eichmeier
moved, seconded by Kuiper to allow Lupkes to drain his field tile into
the pond at Prairie Bridges Park. Roll call vote: “Ayes”: Wiederkehr,
Meyer, Kuiper and Eichmeier; “nays”: Schneck. Motion carried.
“Doc” Swasand advised the council they are applying for a grant
with Franklin County for a 32’ x 40’ x 10’ high shelter house in the
“back 40” camp ground (new campground). To get the grant Franklin
County wants a government agency to act as the fiscal agent to handle
the money. They are applying for $1,000. Council member Schneck moved,
seconded by Meyer to have the City act as the Fiscal Agent to handle
the money for this grant and have a city official sign the papers.
Motion carried unanimously.
Council

Council
reconvened at

ACKLEY, IOWA,

Motion carried unanimously.
Clerk Williams presented to the council the renewal notice for the
health insurance for the full-time city employees. In the letter she
received that stated that this time renewal increases have been
averaging 15-40%. This year Ackley is receiving a 6.50% decrease.
Council member Wiederkehr moved, seconded by Kuiper to have the clerk
sign and return the renewal notice. Motion carried unanimously.
City Administrator Nuss reported to the council that Steve Fistler
would like to have a meter installed on the property he just purchased
that joins his present lot. This water would be used strictly for
washing vehicles, watering lawn, flowers and garden and would not use
the city sewer system at all. Our current ordinance does not allow
this, but we could put a new section in the code book where, at the
property owners’ expense, they could install a separate water line
hooked to the main and a shut off value. Nuss will request copies from
Iowa Codification on cities that allow two (2) meters per residence.
Nuss advised the council that in September when we changed the meeting
day and time that after the December meeting we would revert back to
the 2nd Monday at 5:30 p.m. for the council meetings.

day and time beginning in January at the 2nd Wednesday at
7:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.
Nuss also reported to the council he has received a resignation letter
from street superintendent Ron Fimon effective March 17, 2006. Ron is
planning on retiring on that date. Council member Schneck moved,
seconded by Wiederkehr to accept the resignation of Fimon. Motion
carried unanimously.
Council member Scheck moved, seconded by Wiederkehr to introduce and
adopt RESOLUTION NO. 05-22 entitled “RESOLUTION ACCEPTING
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS” (Depot Project). Roll call vote: “Ayes”:
Kuiper, Eichmeier, Meyer, Schneck and Wiederkehr; “nays”: none. Motion
carried.
Clerk Williams presented bills for snow removal that were received
prior to the meeting. HH Construction for $160.00 and Neymeyer Quarry
& Trucking for $640.00. Council member Scheck moved, seconded by
Kuiper to have Williams pay these bills. Motion carried unanimously.
Council member Wiederkehr moved, seconded by Kuiper to adjourn the
meeting. Motion carried, meeting adjourned at 9:10 p.m.

REGULAR MEETING
October 11,
2005
The regular meeting of the Ackley
City Council was called to order at 7:00 p.m., on the above date, in
the Council Chambers at City Hall with Mayor Pro-tem Lance Meyer
presiding. Council members present: Lance Meyer, Allan Kuiper, Randy
Eichmeier, Bart Schneck and Bonnie Wiederkehr. Others in attendance:
Mike Nuss, Police Chief Scallon, Sgt. Smith, Jack Boelman, Lynne
Richtsmeier, Marge Voy, Eileen Kruse, LaVeda Hinton, Jim Daggs and
Matt Roelfs.
Council member Wiederkehr moved, seconded by Kuiper to approve the
agenda. Motion carried unanimously.
CONSENT AGENDA: Council member Schneck moved, seconded by
Eichmeier to approve the following items: minutes of the September 13th
and 28th meetings; bills to be paid as presented by the
Clerk; building permits for Jerry & Martha Fredericksen a double
garage and Mike Ibeling a house addition. Motion carried unanimously.
REPORTS & COMMUNICATIONS: Police Chief Scallon reported they have
had a community service worker doing a speed survey in different parts
of the community.
Scallon also reported they have been looking into putting a certified
officer on as a part-time officer. Brian Neuberger has worked with the
Hampton Police Department and was a Deputy in Fayette County,
therefore, when he would be on duty we would not have to have another
officer on call to help him. Council member Eichmeier moved, seconded
by Schneck to allow them to hire Neuberger as a part-time certified
police officer with NO set or guaranteed daily, weekly or
monthly hours. To work on an “AT NEEDED BASIS” only, upon the
completion of the pre-hiring testing. Motion carried unanimously.
Sgt. Smith reported that the Emergency Management is working on a
grant application for Homeland Security. They are going to be
conducting CERT (certified emergency resident training) classes at the
high school. They are also going to be conducting NIMS update classes
in October.
Jack Boelman, PeopleService representative, reported that Well House
#2 has been insulated and he has finished flushing mains last week. He
would like to see two hydrants replaced; 3rd and Butler and
in front of the Village. He will be starting to sludge test this week.
The flow test monitors were pulled last week and about mid to the end
of March they will be reinstalled and we would get the results by mid
May.
Lynn Richtsmeier, AVAS representative, stated they really like the new
ambulance, rides nice and has lots or room in the back. They had 25
runs in September. Council member Wiederkehr will attend their meeting
on the 17th of this month.
Marge Voy approached the council about doing something to the alley by
her house. It has big holes in it. The garbage truck is really hard on
the alley, which is blacktopped and it is under a grandfather clause
according to Mrs. Voy, to maintain it back to blacktop. She would like
to see some asphalt put in the holes by her garage.
City
Administrator Nuss entered the meeting at 7:35 p.m.
Nuss advised Mrs. Voy that every two years we can do about 20 blocks
of street repair. Her question is if someone falls in the alley whose
liability is it and she was advised that the city is liable. Mrs. Voy
says it is a plotted street and the council does not think it is so we
will call the courthouse to see if it is a plotted alley or street.
Council member Schneck moved, seconded by Kuiper to table discussion
of the maintenance of this until next month and the phone call has
been made. Motion carried unanimously. We will put something in the
holes for the time being.
Eileen Kruse thanked the council for considering the handicap cut outs
on the curbs. She advised she had received 226 signatures on the
petitions concerning the cut outs. LaVeda Hinton stated that when she
takes her father to her house from the Village she has to use
driveways to get across the streets with his wheel chair. Mrs. Kruse
advised she has called Senator Harkins office on this and Duane Smith
would come and put on a two hour workshop on the rules and regulations
on this but we would have to initiate the invitation for him to come.
Council member Schneck moved, seconded by Eichmeier to introduce and
adopt RESOLUTION NO. 05-18 entitled “RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING
THE RURAL WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION TO ISSUE NOT TO EXCEED $950,000
IN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF SOLID WASTE REVENUE BONDS, APPROVING
PROPOSED TERMS OF OFFERING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A JOINT
FINANCING AGREEMENT WITH THE RESPECT THERETO”. Roll call vote:
“Ayes”: Kuiper, Schneck, Eichmeier and Wiederkehr; “nays”: none.
Motion carried.
Matt Roelfs representative of the Harvest Baptist Church asked the
council about purchasing a portion of Worth Street and the alley. They
would like to build the church closer to the West. After much
discussion Roelfs and City Administrator Nuss will take the drawings
of the church over to John Cleary at Ryken Engineering to consider
ways of putting it on the lots they have. Nuss will make an
appointment with Cleary.
Council
recessed at
8:20 p.m.
Council
reconvened at
8:35 p.m.
City Administrator Nuss asked the council for a motion for the City
Clerk to set up a line item in the budget for the money we have
received from Midwest Wireless for the property they purchased. This
money will be used for property renovations. Council member Eichmeier
moved, seconded by Wiederkehr to have the Clerk make a new line item.
Motion carried unanimously.
Nuss also advised the council that Midwest Wireless purchased lots 23,
24 and 25 and they no longer need 24 and 25 and would like to trade
those two lots for lot 22 which is available. They will pay us back
double our legal fees in making this change. Council told Nuss to go
ahead with this.
Nuss advised that Sheriff Smith has told him they would like to
purchase the old ambulance for $5,000. Council member Kuiper moved,
seconded by Schneck to sell the ambulance to Hardin County for $5,000.
Motion carried unanimously.
Nuss explained to the council he has been talking with Maxim
concerning the contaminated ground. The change order for $5,400 is a
simplified Tier 3 but is above the original open ended contract for
$14,800 we have signed. Council member Eichmeier moved, seconded by
Kuiper to take Maxim off the table from last month. Motion carried
unanimously. Council member Kuiper moved, seconded by Wiederkehr to go
ahead with the change order of $5,400. Motion carried unanimously.
Council member Kuiper moved, seconded by Wiederkehr to adjourn the
meeting, Motion carried unanimously, meeting adjourned at
9:20 pm.

REGULAR MEETING
September 13,
2005
The regular meeting of the Ackley
City Council was called to order at 7:00 p.m., on the above date, in
the Council Chambers at City Hall with Mayor Glenn Boheman presiding.
Council members present: Lance Meyer, Allan Kuiper, Randy Eichmeier,
Bart Schneck and Bonnie Wiederkehr. Others in attendance: Mike Nuss,
Police Chief Scallon, Patrol Officer Saleh, Patrol Officer Kappel,
Jack Boelman, Corey Meints, Gary Sindelar, Dave & Tracy Stull, Kim
Pieper, Galen from Maxim, Duane Richtsmeier and Jeff Kurth.
Council member Eichmeier moved, seconded by Wiederkehr to approve the
agenda. Motion carried unanimously.
CONSENT AGENDA: Council member Kuiper moved, seconded by Schneck
to approve the following items: minutes of the August 9th
meeting; bills to be paid as presented by the Clerk; building permits
for Catherine Kuper for a storage building, Dale & Marlene Stott for a
house addition, Vernon & Juliette Kreimeyer for a house addition, Dave
Thronson for a garage, Steven & Sharon Fistler for a garage and Bart &
Amy Weichers for a deck. Motion carried unanimously.
REPORTS & COMMUNICATIONS: Police Chief Scallon reported to the
council that two of our Police Reserves are being called to active
duty in October; one in the Army Reserves and the other in the
National Guard. They will be gone for 18 months. The department is
presently testing a few subjects that would be on our “call-up” list
as a Police Reserve. Those expressing interest are Guy Metzgar, Katie
Woodley both of Ackley, Matt Barnes, Brian Nueberger both of Hampton,
and Dennis Beatle of Alden. Several Law Enforcement Agencies are
building their Police Reserve Programs so that when they have someone
resign they just hire from their Reserve Police list. This saves on
the two to three months time span it takes for the pre-hiring tests
for new officers, although, they would still have to go through the
Academy after hiring, but at least they’ve had good local tenur to
start on their own sooner. It also saves the $400 to $600 in Des
Moines Register ads.
Scallon advised the department has been using reserves lately as
Jessica is on three day immediate family funeral leave and Robert is
on vacation.
Scallon also advised the council additional paperwork has been done on
the property at 222 15th Street. He also stated that we
need to finish the old Rod Kreimeyer property before that order
expires.
Jack Boelman, PoepleService Representative, advised there was a shut
off valve repaired for a resident on Main Street this past month. They
are still working on the flow meter project. They will be pulled and
reinstalled in March and by May 1st we should have a handle
on where work needs to be done. He also advised the wastewater project
is done according to the contract.
Duane Richtsmeier, AVAS Representative, advised they had 24 runs in
the month of August. Council member Eichmeier will attend their
meeting on September 19th.
Ackley resident Dave Stull approached the council about getting
permission to remove evergreen trees on the parking on the south side
of his residence. The trees look terrible and he would like to have
the space for a yard for his children to play. He showed the council
pictures he had taken of these trees. Council member Schneck moved,
seconded by Wiederkehr to allow Stull to cut the trees at his expense
and have the stumps removed at his expense also.
Motion
carried unanimously.
Gary Sindelar of Ryken Engineering advised the council that the
wastewater project is completed. The project came in at a total of
$247,968.80 with $14,436.58 still due the contractor. Sindelar is
recommending the contractor be paid after the 30 days are up.
Council member Schneck moved, seconded by Meyer to introduce and adopt
RESOLUTION NO. 05-16 entitled “RESOLUTION ACCEPTING PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENTS”. Roll call vote: “Ayes”: Meyer, Schneck, Kuiper,
Eichmeier and Wiederkehr; “nays”: none. Motion carried unanimously.
Sindelar advised the council he has the contract for the 2005 Street
Improvement Project from Heartland Asphalt. Council member Eichmeier
moved, seconded by Kuiper to have the Mayor and Clerk sign the
contract. Roll call vote: “Ayes”: Wiederkehr, Eichmeier, Kuiper, Meyer
and Schneck; “nays”: none. Motion carried unanimously.
Schneck
stepped out of the meeting at 7:30 pm.
Council member Meyer moved, seconded by Kuiper to introduce
ORDINANCE NO. 432 entitled “AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF ACKLEY, IOWA, 2001, BY ADDING A NEW SECTION
TO CHAPTER 62”. Roll call vote: “Ayes”: Meyer, Wiederkehr, Kuiper,
and Eichmeier; “nays”: none; absent: Schneck. Motion carried
unanimously. Council member Kuiper moved, seconded by Eichmeier to
hold the first reading of the aforementioned Ordinance. Roll call
vote: “Ayes”: Kuiper, Wiederkehr, Eichmeier, and Meyer; “nays”: none;
absent: Schneck. Motion carried unanimously.
Schneck
reentered the meeting at 7:35 pm.
Council
member Eichmeier moved, seconded by Wiederkehr to waive the second and
third readings of the aforementioned Ordinance. Roll call vote:
“Ayes”: Wiederkehr, Schneck, Meyer, Kuiper, and Eichmeier; “nays”:
none. Motion carried unanimously. Council member Meyer moved, seconded
by Wiederkehr to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 432 entitled “AN

“Ayes”: Eichmeier, Meyer, Schneck, Wiederkehr, and Kuiper; “nays”:

Council member Meyer advised the council that the ambulance that was
here last month from Emergency Vehicle Sales & Service in Alexander is
available for purchase. The older ambulance we have will be purchased
by Hardin County for the E Squad. Council member Meyer moved, seconded
by Kuiper to purchase this ambulance for $27,000.00 from Emergency

City Administrator Nuss advised the council he had received a change
order already from Maxim Technologies for $5400 on the contract we
signed with them for $14,300. Galen from Maxim explained that this is
Tier 3 work follow up on the contract signed in July to make sure the
City wells are okay. After much discussion, council member Schneck
wondered if we should re-address capping Well #3. Schneck recommended
tabling this for next month and having Jack and Mike talk it over.
Another recommendation was to take a stance with the DNR and have them
prove to us we have a problem. Discussions ware held concerning
isolating Well #3 and use it only for fire protection which will
classify it as a non-drinking water well. Nuss recommends we keep
going with this. Council member Schneck moved, seconded by Kuiper to
table this to next council meeting. Roll call vote: “Ayes”: Meyer,
Schneck, Kuiper, Eichmeier and Wiederkehr; “nays”: none. Motion
carried unanimously.
Nuss advised the council he has received petition papers with 55
signatures on them requesting a referendum on the
November 8, 2005,
City Election Ballot. Ballot Issue #1 “Shall the City of Ackley, in
the County of Hardin, State of Iowa, be authorized to establish a
Municipally-Owned cable communications or television system, telephone
or telecommunications system (including video, voice, telephone, date
and all other forms of telecommunications and cable communications)
Utility?” Ballot Issue #2 “Shall the management and control of the
Municipally-Owned cable communications or television system,
telephone or telecommunications system (including video, voice,
telephone, data and all other forms of communications and cable
communications) be placed in the Board of Trustees of the Ackley
Municipal Utilities consisting of five (5) trustees?” Council member
Schneck moved, seconded by Mayer to accept this petition. Motion
carried unanimously.
On
the Sidewalk accessibility ADA Nuss advised that Eileen Kruse has been
undertaking this project and would like to see all
corners handicap accessible. They would like to see the whole city
done but primarily the ones around the Medical Center, Post Office,
Presbyterian Village, and all the churches done first. Council member
Kuiper moved, seconded by Eichmeier to have Nuss go ahead with mapping
of corners with costs and etc. Motion carried unanimously.
The
Library needs to have the meeting room more handicap accessible for
voting purposes. They would like to see a ramp up to the North door
with a larger platform at the door and replacing the door knobs with
lever handles on both doors. There is County money that will cover 75%
of the project up to $2500.00.
Region 6 Housing Rehabilitation Program. Beth Ubben purchased the
former Marc & Holly Roelfs home on Main Street and Region 6 made the
necessary improvements. The cities share of this project will be
approximately $1,059.00. Region 6 will send us a bill for this.
On
the swimming Pool Nuss advised he has a bid from Les Janssen on
painting the floor of the swimming pool for $12,000 and he is
recommending that it be done this month. After much discussion on this
subject council member Meyer moved, seconded by Schneck that if it is
not in the budget we do not do it. Motion carried unanimously.
Nuss advised the council that Dr. Lehman got back to him concerning
the meeting with the school board and council. They have set the
meeting date for Monday, October 3rd at 7:00 pm at the

REGULAR MEETING
August 8,
2005
The regular meeting of the Ackley
City Council was called to order at 5:30 p.m., on the above date, in
the Council Chambers at City Hall with Mayor Glenn Boheman presiding.
Council members present: Lance Meyer, Allan Kuiper, Randy Eichmeier,
Bart Schneck and Bonnie Wiederkehr. Others in attendance: Mike Nuss,
Sgt. Smith, Police Chief Scallon, Patrol Officer Saleh, Jack Boelman,
John Cleary, Gary Rinnels, Ken Reed and Corey Meints.
Council member Kuiper moved, seconded by Wiederkehr to approve the
agenda. Motion carried unanimously.
CONSENT AGENDA: Council member Eichmeier moved, seconded by Meyer
to approve the following items: minutes of the July 11th
and July 13th meetings; bills to be paid as presented by
the Clerk with the addition of the bills for the Sales Tax, Prairie
Land Cooperative for gas purchases. Ackley Super Foods, Airgas, Galls
and Yaggy Colby Associates; building permits for Scott & Deanna
Hinders for a privacy fence and Albert and Marilyn Abbas for a room
addition; tax abatement for Albert and Marilyn Abbas. Motion carried
unanimously.
REPORTS & COMMUNICATIONS: Police Chief Scallon asked the council
if they had looked over the Beer Garden map for the chamber with the
changes he had made. He advised he has talked to Jolene Harms about
the changes he would like to have made. The buildings cannot be used
as part of the fence, it has to be 8” tall at the curb leaving the
sidewalks open for the people to have access to the apartments above
the stores. Their security personnel have to be trained and our
officers can do this and the police department is suggesting they have
six (6) security people each night.
Scallon advised they are having their auction of unclaimed vehicles on
the 16th of August at the impound lot.
Scallon advised that Jessica needs to attend the Law Enforcement
Academy and they are looking at sending her to the class at Western
Iowa Tech Community College in Sioux City starting in January 2006.
The other short course is in Waterloo in September but they have
vacations scheduled for that month and would like to have her wait
until January. Council member Meyer moved, seconded by Kuiper to have
Jessica enrolled in the class at Waterloo first and if no vacancies
then Sioux City. Motion carried unanimously.
Sgt. Robert Smith said the pole with the siren on by Concrete,
Inc. is leaning to the east very bad. The Emergency Management is
having FEMA certification classes in Iowa Falls August 27 and 28 from
8 am to 4 pm with lunch provided. He would like to have some of the
council member attend.
PeopleService representative Jack Boelman advised he and John
Cleary went thru a punch list at the lagoon. The phone line should be
installed this week for the automatic dialer and the flow meters are
being put in a different area.
Ken Reed, AVAS representative reported that Unit #322 had all new
tires put on it and the two best used tires from #322 were put on the
front of Unit #323. He reported they had 21 calls in July. He also
reported that Emergency Vehicle Sales brought down a 1995 with 55,000
miles on it. They are asking $27,000, it came from Dysart. The inside
is just like Unit #322, it has a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty or 24
months/6,000 mile warranty. This price includes the lettering. He
would like to have a decision before the 17th when he goes
on vacation. Nuss advised the council Sheriff Tim Smith is interested
in the unit we replace.
Mayor Boheman opened the 6:00 P.M. Public Hearing. Clerk Williams
reported she had not received any written objections to the project
and there were no oral objections. John Cleary, Ryken Engineering
representative, stated the engineer recommends we accept the bid from
Heartland Asphalt of $206,332.52 for the street project and with the
bike trail $230,619.27. The bike trail has received a $19,000 grant
and the estimate for it came in at $24,296.75. Council member Schneck
moved, seconded by Kuiper to accept the bids. Motion carried
unanimously. Council member Kuiper moved, seconded by Eichmeier to
close the Public Hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
Council
recessed at
6:25 p.m. Council reconvened at
6:30 p.m.
Council member Wiederkehr reported that Colinda Ball had told her they
really wanted to come back to camp at Prairie Bridges Park and said
that Tommy was not with them anymore. Council member Wiederkehr moved,
seconded by Kuiper not to allow them back into the park. Motion
carried unanimously.
Gary Rinnels voiced his concern about the revenue being down
considerably from last year and feels it is due to the extra camping
spots to the west that do not have a place to put the envelopes. He
will try to get the license numbers and make them pay and register
before they go to their camp site. The police can still go thru the
park and report back to Gary any not paid. It was decided to table
this and talk about compensation for Gary for doing this extra work.
Council member Eichmeier moved, seconded by Wiederkehr to approve the
Grant and Loan to Sara Anderson for a dental office in Ackley. It will
be opening in early September. Motion carried unanimously.
Sgt. Smith advised he would talk to the bank about not parking in
front of the entry to the Qwest building.
Mike Nuss approached the council concerning the drainage on Adventure
Plastics property and after some discussion it was decided to have
Mike, Bark and Al go look at it.
Nuss advised he will get together with Dr. Lehman about the meeting
with the council and school board.
Council member Eichmeier moved, seconded by Myer to have the City
Clerk sign the agreement with ICAP to maintain level rates for all
casualty coverages with limits not exceeding $2,000,000 until July 1,
2008. Motion carried unanimously.
Clerk Williams advised the council that Police Chief Scallon was
wondering if the council would pay him for attending an informational
meeting in Ames on August 10 while he is on vacation. Council member
Myer moved, seconded by Wiederkehr to give him another day of vacation
if he wants to attend rather than paying him. Motion carried
unanimously.
Council member Schneck advised the council that UNI has changed his
schedule this fall. On Mondays and Wednesdays he will not be back in
Ackley until 8:00 p.m. and on Tuesdays and Thursdays he will not be
back in Ackley until 7:00 p.m. This would be for the months of
September, October, November and December. Council member Kuiper
moved, seconded by Meyer for the months of September, October,
November and December to move the council meeting to Tuesday nights at
7:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.
Council member Wiederkehr advised she has been approached by Hilko
Viet about the property from him and what are we doing about it.
Council member Eichmeier asked if anything was happening with Midwest
Wireless and Nuss advised they are still working on it.
Mayor Boheman asked that the maintenance people do something about the
bushes on the corners of Kum & Go and Ibeling Insurance. People
complain that they cannot see around the bushes. Also felt the
crosswalks at the school should be painted soon.
Council member Kuiper moved, seconded by Eichmeier to adjourn the
meeting. Motion carried, meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.

the jake brake ordinance for them to look at. Council would like to
have the Ordinance prepared for next council meeting. Smith also
brought to the council the concerns on a “no left turn” sign the
department feels is place on the wrong corner of the intersection of
Mitchell Street
and 1st Avenue. This item will be placed on next month’s
agenda Smith also reported they have been having trouble with the
light bar on the newer police car. Radio Communications out of
Waterloo will be putting a brand new light bar on the car this
Thursday for them.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT: Smith brought up again about the disaster siren
located near Concrete, Inc. that it is not rotating. Nuss explained he
has been trying to coordinate Steve Scallon and Galen to see if we can
fix it ourselves. Galen feels the chain has slipped off. This will be
put on a list of priorities. Smith also advised he has taken more
weather radios around to businesses in the community. He also advised
he had been approached by
Prairie
Bridges Park
as to where the campers should go when the weather gets bad. They were
advised to have them go to businesses that are open or into the shower
house as the police department no longer has a key to City Hall. Smith
asked the council if the City would pay for his room at the state
Homeland Security state conference July 26 thru the 28th.
He would need a motel room for two nights. Council member Wiederkehr
moved, seconded by Meyer to approve the motel room expense not to
exceed $75 per night. Motion carried unanimously.
PEOPLESERVICE: Representative Jack Boelman reported to the council he
is finished with flushing the water mains and that we had a main break
at the east end of Main Street. The wastewater project is still
progressing. Boelman was asked if there was a completion date on the
wastewater treatment plant project and was told it was April 30, 2005.
Steve McDowell interjected they had talked to Gary Sindelar concerning
this date and with the change orders the date should have been
changed. The flow meters will possibly be put in on Thursday this week
in various parts of the City.
AVAS: Representative Alan Oelmann told the council that the ambulance
had 20 runs the past month. Their next meeting is in September and
they have a new protocol. City Clerk will ask Jeff Kurth for a copy so
she can make copies for each of the council.
Council member Eichmeier moved, seconded by Kuiper to hold the second
reading of ORDINANCE NO. 431 entitled “ORDINANCE AMENDING
THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF
ACKLEY, IOWA,
2001, BY AMENDING PROVISIONS PERTAINING TO SEWER CHARGES”.

ORDINANCE NO. 431 entitled “ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF
ACKLEY, IOWA,
2001, BY AMENDING PROVISIONS PERTAINING TO SEWER CHARGES”.
Roll call vote: “Ayes”: Meyer, Kuiper, Schneck, Eichmeier and
Wiederkehr; “nays”: none. Motion carried.
Council
recessed at
6:20 p.m. Council reconvened at
6:25 p.m.
Gary Rinnels approached the council concerning the ATV’s being ridden
in Prairie Bridges Park. Rinnels’ concern was the cities insurance if
they were to have an accident like hitting tree. City Clerk will check
with the insurance company. City Clerk is also to get a draft against
off road motorized vehicle usage for next month.
Steve McDowell would like to install 300’ of new 6” water main to his
lot numbers 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 stopping at State Street and move
the fire hydrant 30’ back to the East to the lot line. He has
estimated his proposal to be $9,650.00. He would like to do this this
summer. As this has not been budgeted he proposed to the council that
he do the work and charge us for it in the fiscal year 06/07, but
would probably have to adjust the figure some. McDowell will be put on
the agenda again next month. Another option would be to do a bond
issue and do the entire project to replace the 3” main with a 6” main.
Mike Nuss: Depot bills – Nuss wanted approval to pay the retainage to
those it is owed. Council member Kuiper moved, seconded by Schneck to
pay the retainage. Motion carried unanimously. Street project – the
specs have been typed up but no bid letting date has been set. To get
everything done we submitted, using last years figures would be
approximately $185,000. We can add or subtract streets as it is being
bid on a per unit basis. City land by the swimming pool – abstract to
this property needs to be researched as it is different than what we
mow. We also have two parties interested in the purchasing the
property. Franklin County Local Option Tax – every time this comes up
for vote the few people living on the Franklin County side of the
highway vote it down and we will plan on having some informational
meetings with those people to explain how much Ackley would benefit
from it. Swimming Pool – what is the definition of family? The pool
personnel would like to use the IRS definition of family, anyone you
claim on your income tax, if not, they need a different pass. Council
member Meyer moved, seconded by Kuiper to post a sign at the pool
using the IRS definition of family for the family passes. Motion
carried unanimously.
Council member Eichmeier brought up concerning the weeds on the bike
trail and also wanted to know if Carrie Warmbier is keeping up on her
payments on her contract. Ms. Warmbier is up to date on her payments.
Council member Schneck advised we have lots of weeds behind the Civic
Center. Also asked about an ordinance on sidewalks and was advised we
have a section in our code book concerning sidewalks. He asked about
the financial reports from the school concerning the Day Care and Nuss
advised he has asked for them.
Council member Wiederkehr had been approached again by Gary Rinnels
concerning hand dryers in the shower house at Prairie Bridges Park.
Nuss will look into this.
Council member Meyer moved, seconded by Eichmeier to adjourn the
meeting. Motion carried meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
