REGULAR MEETING August 11, 2010                         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 Jim Daggs presiding. Council members present:  Joyce Geiken, Dan Scallon, and Susan Ibeling.  Glenn Boheman and Bart Schneck were absent.  Others in attendance: Mike Nuss, Patrol Officer Saleh, Lee Gallentine, Theresa Scholte, Ken Reed, Dennis White, Pat Daggs, Kevin Meyer, Dale Brass, and Becky Schipper.               Council member Ibeling moved, seconded by Geiken to approve the agenda.  Motion carried unanimously.               CONSENT AGENDA: Council member Geiken moved, seconded by Scallon to approve the following items: minutes of the July 14, 2010 meeting; bills to be paid as presented by the Clerk.  Motion carried unanimously.    BUILDING PERMITS:                POLICE CHIEF SCALLON: was absent from the meeting but council member Geiken moved, seconded by Scallon to authorize Chief Scallon to visit with the City attorney regarding concerns about the new Iowa Weapon’s Law.  Motion carried unanimously.               EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR:  Kevin Meyer was present stating that while testing the storm sirens on Wednesday, August 4, 2010, it was determined that some are faulty and need to be updated.  The current system is some forty plus years old.  Meyer was given mutual consent by the council to begin to look for grants that are perhaps available for replacement, costs etc. of the new equipment.               PEOPLESERVICE:  Eastern Iowa Regional Manager, Dennis White was present to issue a refund check in the amount of $18,906 to the City of Ackley, and to inform the population that the refund is largely due to the excellent work performed specifically by Jack Boelman and White’s entire staff.               AVAS:  representative Theresa Scholte informed the council that Jesse Oelmann has requested to come back to AVAS.  All background checks have been conducted and everything has come back clear.  Council sees no problem with his return to the service.  Scholte also advised that herself and Cassie Millers’ EMT-I training fees are going to be reimbursed, therefore AVAS has acquired (5) EMT-B’s  and (2) EMT-I’s at no cost to the City of Ackley.  Further, the 911 Board is reimbursing for (3) of the (6) new pagers that the service received.  AVAS now has 9 new pagers and the City of Ackley has only had to pay for 4 ½ of those pagers.  Scholte then pleaded her case for an increase.  Public Safety co-chair Dan Scallon informed Scholte that himself and Glenn Boheman, the chair of Public Safety will collaborate regarding the increase and prepare a response to be presented to the council at the September 8, 2010 meeting.                 P.B.P.:  representative(s) were not present, but Mike Nuss presented an article to the council that was showcased in the summer 2010 Quarterly Publication of the Iowa State University Extension issue of “Community Matters.”  The article, entitled Ackley’s Prairie Bridges Park:  Creating a destination from the ground up, features print and pictures of what started as an 80-acre, pitted dumping ground.  Today it is a 120-acre destination park in north central Iowa, thanks to the efforts of a persistent community with some very dedicated volunteers.  Hats off to The Friends of Prairie Bridges for all you have accomplished at the park.               Lee Gallentine of Ryken Engineering reviewed the plan of action that was submitted to the EPA and IDNR on July 28, 2010.  Heartland Asphalt was in town and fixed the “pothole.”  Gallentine will work on finalizing out the 2009 Street Improvement Project and a final pay estimate will be presented at the September 8, 2010 council meeting.  Gallentine has not yet received the railroad permit for the 2010 Northwest Area Sewer Project. However, he has found a state law that may help.  He is working with City attorney Mike Smith concerning this and should have more information at the September 8, 2010 council meeting.  Council member Ibeling moved, seconded by Scallon to award the bid to Keller Excavating in the amount of $199,855.00.  Motion carried unanimously.  Gallentine still negotiating easements with landowners for the CDBG Grant Project and it is going well.  He received notice on August 1, 2010 that Quam is now licensed in the State of Iowa, therefore, he sent out the contracts to them to be signed and returned.  He is hoping to have a preconstruction meeting the week of August 9, with work commencing September 1, 2010.  The forcemain south of Otter Creek and the equalization basin will be bid later in the summer or early in the fall.  Contracts have been sent to Hatch Grading to be signed and returned for the Franklin Street Pocket Wetland.  Since the bid by Hatch Grading was less than the grant amount there is a possibility to expand the project, however, council wants to proceed with the original project.  At last months meeting, John Humke attended and had several issues with the project from last year with regard to the sanitary sewer east of Cerro Gordo Street between 4th and 5th Avenue.  Humke felt the city should have put a sewer in the alley behind the houses originally and not let the service lines run all the way to 5th Avenue.  This block was originally platted as a reserve block and contained no platted or dedicated alley.  Therefore, the city did not have the right to install the sanitary sewer until they acquired the property from Bob Eichmeier, which we did for this project.  Humke felt the new sanitary sewer was installed too high and therefore causing loss of use of basement facilities.  Gallentine reviewed the plant for this project and the new sanitary sewer is actually about ½ foot deeper than the original service line was.  Gallentine does not know that said service line was replaced between the time that the Ryken’s performed the design survey and actual construction.  Gallentine has no idea how or at what grade the Humke service line was installed.  Humke also felt that he had no choice and was basically forced to participate and hook into this new line.  Gallentine did not participate in the negotiations with any landowners for this project.  That being said, Gallentine would like to point out that Humke didn’t have to participate and hook into this new line.  Although he had a combined service line with his neighbor, he could have either repaired it or replaced it and continued to discharge to 5th Avenue.  At last month’s meeting, Dale Brass inquired as to the status of the culvert under Butler Street in front of his house.  Gallentine had indicated at that time that Ryken’s had televised this culvert and he wanted to review the tape prior to commenting.  Since last month’s meeting, Gallentine has reviewed the tape and discovered the following (3) defects: 1.      The west end of the culvert has separated and has created a sinkhole on the west should of Butler Street. 2.      The east end of the culvert has pushed up slightly, preventing water from leaving the culvert and thereby creating a “puddle” in the culvert. 3.      The middle of the culvert has a hole in it, with a void visible behind it.  Brass wants the culvert under his driveway connected directly to this culvert.  Council member Scallon moved, seconded by Ibeling to have Gallentine study the entire drainage system from the Medical Clinic to the creek, and be prepared to make a recommendation to the council at the September 8, 2010 council meeting.  A brief discussion was then held regarding sump pump inspection processes.   MAYOR DAGGS:  asked council member Scallon, if a Youth Jam was still being planned for Friday night of Labor Day weekend.  Scallon said not until 2011.  The repair for the leak at the airport has been scheduled.  Stott building still has no engineer’s report on file.  The Mayor wants a joint council/P.B.P. Board meeting.  He will pick a couple of Wednesday nights in the next month and firm up the plans for the evening with Tim Ubben.  Council member Scallon moved, seconded by Geiken to change Chapter 55.09 from “dogs” to “any animal”.  Clerk Roskens will have revised ordinance ready for the September 8, 2010 council meeting.   CITY ADMINISTRATOR:  Nuss informed council that Steve Scallon had the low bids on the (3) trees that the council authorized removing at the July 14, 2010 meeting.  Another tree has been identified for removal at 610 1st Avenue and Scallon Lawn Service was authorized to remove it as well due to low bid.  Darren Janssen has asked council members to view the evergreen trees (Blue Spruce) along 5th Avenue to consider for removal.  While some green exists, about ½ of the branches are dead.  There are (3) trees total at the sight.  Red Sinning at 714 2nd Avenue has (2) trees in the parking for council to consider for removal.  Kay King at 406 1st Avenue wants the tree at the West end of the block to be considered for removal.  The tree belongs to Pat Scallon.  The mausoleum has been completed and looks nice.  It should probably have a good cleaning.  Either council or the Cemetery Board may want to consider some sort of function to allow the general public to view it.  Perhaps in September, as the mayor said it marks the 100th anniversary of the mausoleum.  The annual Cougar’s Den fundraising golf tournament will be held Saturday, August 28 will proceeds being applied in part to pre-payment of the outstanding bonded debt.  Roofing bids have been submitted for the ambulance facility.  In light of the proposals offered by the ambulance crew, the public safety committee needs to determine if they wish to proceed with the roofing or not.  It has been budgeted for, so full council approval is not required.  This is the year for a city audit as well of fiscal year 2010.  Council member Scallon moved, seconded by Ibeling to accept the Keith Oltrogge proposal not to exceed $4900.  Motion carried unanimously.   Council member Ibeling moved, seconded by Geiken to adjourn the meeting.  Motion carried, meeting adjourned at 9:05 p.m.     June Revenues:         Property Taxes:  General Fund $5,391.03, Debt Service, $(168,539.18), Employee Benefits $2,261.07, Emergency Levy $158.65, Capital Project/Assessments $00.00, Local Option Tax $3,299.42, Debt Service $00.00, and Capital Projects $9,898.25.             Other Revenues: General Fund $78,908.36, Library Expendable Trust $314.27, Fire Expendable Trust $5,957.85, Ambulance Expendable Trust $00.00, AVAS Expendable Trust $3.82, Swimming Pool Expendable Trust $1.18, CDBG Grant $13,742.00, AVAS Educational Fund $.87, Jaws of Life Expendable Trust $.77, Prairie Bridges Park Expendable Trust $32,000.26, Tanker Expendable Trust $.33, Road Use Tax $10,652.40, Water Utility $2,488.14, Wastewater Utility $5,845.94, Storm Sewer Utility $28.64, Capital Projects $00.00, Urban Renewal $00.00, Misc.

A discussion was held concerning the denial by the Zoning Administrator of a permit submitted by Orville Roelfs, and the permit submitted by Josh Mitchell needs to go to the Board of Adjustments.  A

that 28 property owners have been served for junk and 15 notices have been sent out for 10” plant growth.  Council needs to tour the properties at 607 8th Avenue and 803 Franklin Street to view dangerous buildings.  A decision will be made at the June 9, 2010 meeting on whether to repair or demolish said properties.  The Chief stated that the next STEP traffic enforcement program runs from May 15 to June 15, 2010.  At the close of the program, the funds the officers receive from donating their time will be used to purchase two new radars for both patrol cars.  On Wednesday, May 5, council persons Boheman and Scallon met with Mike Nuss and Chief Scallon to discuss whether to purchase a 2010 or a 2011 patrol car.  They also discussed how to proceed with the Rod Kreimeyer property located across the tracks west on 4th avenue.  The Ackley fire department burned the buildings and the grass.  The left over debris still needs to be removed.  This property is going up for tax sale on Monday, June 21, 2010.  Does the City want to do the clean up or wait for the new owner to do it which will probably take 1-2 years.  Chief Scallon also informed the council that Brittney Ellingson won the Police Scholarship given at the AGWSR awards day ceremony.   Council person Schneck asked about the Sauerkraut Queen Contest and Chief Scallon stated he had five applicants.   AVAS:  representative Theresa Scholte reported to the council that so far the ambulance collection process has only yielded one reimbursement so far.  She also stated that within the next month there could be a possibility of 5 new EMT B’s joining AVAS.  They have completed their coursework, pratical exam and will be taking their written test.  Ambulance #322 had work done to it at Hardin County Tire which she informed the council was warranty work.   Lee Gallentine of Ryken Engineering reviewed the plan of action that was submitted to the EPA.  Ryken Engineering is currently reviewing the reports and videos of sanitary sewer televising from 2009.  Visu-Sewer of Pewaukee, WI has started and is continuing sanitary sewer cleaning and televising for 2010.  Gallentine also submitted quarterly report to EPA and IDNR for April 28, 2010.  Gallentine is trying to get in contact with Heartland Asphalt about the “pothole” and the seeding.  Diversion of backwash water from Water Treatment Plant is pending as part of 2010 Sewer Project.  This project will be ready to bid in July as one large package.  Leak detection survey has been completed.  Jack Boelman of PeopleService will contact the 4 homeowners with private service line leaks, and the two fire hydrants with leaks will be repaired by McDowell’s.  To be re-evaluated at June 9, 2010 meeting.  The equipment needed for application of the “Archaea” has been installed and is operational in the basement of City Hall.  We received notification from IDED that the project changes for the equalization basin have been approved.  The archeological requirement has been waived since the areas of construction have been “disturbed” by previous construction activity.  Gallentine and Nuss are attempting to negotiate easements with landowners for the equalization basin.  Marsha Cory is working with Mike Nuss for publication of the flood plain notices.  Anticipating a bid letting at the July meeting if the aforementioned goes well.    MAYOR DAGGS:  on behalf of Linda Scallon @ “I” Scallon Art requested that the alley behind her shop from the Nucara Pharmacy to Mitchell Street be closed for alley art.  Council agreed that
