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 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.

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.

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.

Roll call vote: “Ayes”: Meyer, Wiederkehr, Kuiper, and Eichmeier; “nays”: none; absent: Schneck. Motion carried unanimously.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
