                                                                              Regular City Council Meeting
                                                                                  City Hall, Cherokee, Iowa
  
                                                                              March 11, 2008 – 7:00 P.M.

A regular meeting was called to order on this date by Mayor Henrich.  Present:  Council Members
Burkhart, Mallory, Stieneke, Peck, Clerk-Treasurer Taylor.  Absent:  Council Member Leach.

On the advice of the City Attorney, a motion by Council Member Stieneke, seconded by Peck, granted
tax abatement on the remaining 6 years for additional improvements to the property at 1450 N. 2nd Street.
Motion carried.

At 7:02 p.m., Mayor Henrich opened the public hearing on the authorization of a loan agreement and
issuance of notes to evidence the obligation of the City for a fire equipment truck.  The Clerk indicated
that there were no written comments.  The Mayor then asked for comments from the public.  Dwight Varce,
605 W. Cedar, asked whether the new truck will fit in the fire station.  If not, will there be an addition to the
fire station or will an additional building be required?  If there are contributions from Cherokee County and
Rural Fire District will the full amount have to be borrowed?  Dwight publicly thanked Council Member
Burkhart for abstaining last meeting from a vote because the matter involved a relative.  He asked Council
Member Mallory to consider abstaining from voting on the fire truck issue because his son is a volunteer fireman. 

Ron Johnson, 1402 E. Craig Dr., asked the council to consider the timing of the bond issue because of the
recession and said he isn’t against the truck purchase, but doesn’t feel this is the time.  He said the city has
a fairly decent bonding capacity available, but feels the equipment truck should rank lower than repairing
streets and infrastructure as they are in poor shape.  He said the economy isn’t in very good shape and
noted that there were many houses for sale in Cherokee.   He also questioned whether the entire cost of
the truck would have to be paid for through bonds if there are donations from the County and Rural Fire
District.  Ron then asked the firemen present what happens to donations the department receives from
the public and from the fireman’s dance.  Fire Chief, Dave Lucas, said the donations are used for equipment
purchases.  Ron said he understands the safety issue (of the current equipment van), but questions whether
we can afford something that grand at the present time.  Aimee Barritt, Cherokee County Emergency
Management Coordinator, 322 Sumner, referring to Ron Johnson’s comment regarding the number of
houses for sale and foreclosures, said that the houses don’t disappear and empty houses are a bigger
fire hazard.  She said it is the city’s duty to provide safety.  The present equipment vehicle was purchased
in 1985 and doesn’t provide seatbelts for passengers.  What happens if it were to roll over?  It is also used
to haul equipment to the scene.  You don’t want to have to wait for the firemen to make a second run to the
station to pick up additional equipment.  Aimee said that the aerial truck was a gift to the city from the
volunteer department, so with the money raised from the County and Rural Fire District for the equipment ||
truck, the city can look at it as getting two trucks for the price of one.  Sherald Grauer, 405 Sac, referred to
Aimee’s statements and said that what bothers him most is that they always give the worst-case scenario. 
He commended the firefighters for what they do, because he said he wouldn’t do it.  However, he feels the
$250,000 is a pork barrel.  He asked how many miles were on the present vehicle and was told 11,000 miles. 
In reference to the seat belt issue, he said the only person on a school bus with a seat belt is the driver.  If
that isn’t a safety issue, what is?  Why can’t seat belts be installed in the existing vehicle?  Is there a standing
pole or strap to hang on to?  Sherald said that every time there are money problems, it comes back to the
residents of Cherokee.  All he is asking for is fairness from the rural residents.  He asked the council to please
reconsider the purchase of the truck.  Hank Hayes, volunteer fireman, 932 W. Willow, said that during the day
the volunteer firemen are dispatched to the scene.  At night and on weekends, the firemen report to the station
and ride to the scene in the trucks.  30% of their calls are rural calls and the equipment van is taken to every
one.  In reference to the pork barrel comment, he said the reason this matter is being discussed at this time
is to save bond costs by combining the truck purchase with the community center improvements.  Roger Frisbie,
volunteer fireman, passed out information on a more fine-tuned estimate for the truck.  The estimate included
the chassis, an aluminum walk-in body, and misc. options – lights, radios, sirens, etc., for a total cost of
$223,963.  Glen Cave, president of the Rural Fire District, was present and explained that the rural district
was formed in 1949 by a group of farmers.  The first truck they purchased was given to the city. They have
always had a good relationship with the city.  He said the Rural Fire District purchased the water truck, paid
for half the cost of the equipment van and half the cost of the newest fire truck.  Every call the fire department
responds to outside the city limits is billed at $250 to the rural district.  The annual contribution toward the
newest fire truck and the rural fire calls cost the district $15,000-$16,000 per year.  Glen said the district
has agreed to contribute their half of the current equipment van, when sold, as well as a contribution of
$60,000 over 10 years and said the district doesn’t want to own any part of the new equipment truck.  Hank
Hayes reported that the County Board of Supervisors authorized a contribution of $25,000, which will be
available July 1, 2008, provided the bond issue passes.  He said the new truck will fit in the present fire station
and there are no plans at this time to construct a storage building on the lot across the street from the station. 
Council Member Stieneke asked when the property values would start to decline because of the number of
houses for sale.  He understands the safety issue, but doesn’t feel this is the time to put more debt on the
taxpayers.  He appreciates everything the firemen do.  He said the council has had to look at all areas to
cut (from the General Fund) and indicated that there is still 3½ years left to pay on the last fire truck that was
purchased.  He also feels the council needs to trim some from the community center project.  Council Member
Burkhart asked whether the truck chassis could be purchased in town and Roger indicated that it could.  She
also said that a fireman had told her the equipment van doesn’t always start.  Roger said that had been repaired. 
Council Member Mallory said that the department is not only buying the truck for today’s mandates, but also
looking toward future mandates.  The department has outgrown the present equipment van.  Hank also
mentioned that the department has applied three times for a grant to purchase the truck, but have been denied. 
Competition for grants is very high.  Dwight Varce understands that it takes 6-9 months to build the truck body. 
Is a down payment required?  Do the bonds have to be sold right away?  Roger didn’t know for sure, but said
there would probably be some type of down payment required.  He also said they have reduced the cost of the
proposed vehicle by $90,000-$95,000.  Dan Murphy, volunteer fireman, 1497 530th Street, said that the
equipment van goes to every call, whether or not the firemen ride.  He doesn’t think there is any other city
department that has a 20-year-old vehicle they have to depend on.  He has been on the department for 13
years and there has been a lot of equipment purchased during that time.  The equipment van was originally
set up to carry firemen and their gear, but now also carries additional equipment that takes up space where
firemen used to sit.  He said the van will have to be replaced at some point and costs continue to increase,
especially the cost of steel.  He doesn’t live in town, but as a volunteer fireman he asked the council to seriously
consider the upgrade.  As there were no further comments, a motion by Council Member Burkhart, seconded
by Peck, closed the public hearing at 7:52 p.m.  Motion carried.

On a motion by Council Member Peck, seconded by Burkhart, the council adopted Resolution No. 08-03,
instituting proceedings to take additional action on the sale of not to exceed $250,000 G.O. Notes for a fire
equipment truck.  Roll call was:  Ayes-Peck, Burkhart, Mallory, Stieneke.  Nays-None.

A motion was made by Council Member Burkhart, seconded by Mallory, to adopt Resolution No. 08-04, authorizing
the issuance and levying a tax for the payment of $250,000 G.O. Notes for a fire equipment truck.  During
discussion, Council Member Burkhart addressed the public and told those opposed not to think the council
wasn’t listening to them.  She said this is a matter of safety and she feels it is the council’s job to keep citizens
and volunteer firemen safe.  If there was a fire and there was a delay because the truck couldn’t get there and
someone was hurt or killed, she would feel responsible.  To her, the bottom line is not the money.  Council
Member Peck said that thanks to the fire department there is an opportunity to get contributions from the County
and Rural Fire District and said that costs won’t decrease. Council Member Stieneke said there are a lot of
older people in Cherokee on fixed incomes.  He just feels this isn’t the right time.  Council Member Mallory feels
part of the reason they are in this position now is because of past councils wanting to keep the tax levy down. 
When is a good time?  The problem won’t go away and there will be more mandates placed on cities.  They
have the County Supervisors and Rural Fire District support so they must feel it is a worthwhile project.  The
volunteer firemen need the equipment to do their job.  Council Member Burkhart referred to the $4/month
system maintenance fee added to the water bill in the past year.  She asked whether there was any discussion
at that time about how it would affect the older citizens.  She would rather pay extra through taxes to keep people
safe.  She asked Stieneke what his solution was to the perfect time (to purchase a truck).  Stieneke said that
the total bond debt decreases considerably in 4 years and that would be the time to look at it.  Roll call was: 
Ayes-Burkhart, Mallory, Peck.  Nays-Stieneke.   

At 8:07 p.m., Mayor Henrich opened the public hearing on the authorization of a loan agreement and issuance
of notes to evidence the obligation of the City for community center improvements.  The Clerk indicated there
were no written comments.  Mayor Henrich then asked for comments from the public.  Ron Johnson referred
to Council Member Mallory’s comment about past councils putting things off and said that when he was on the
council they discussed the community center many times and tried to do the band-aid approach.  He feels if
the improvements are going to be done they need to do it all.  He doesn’t like to have to sell bonds, but it is
time to get the project done.  Council Member Stieneke feels some of the lighting could be scaled back.  He
said this started out with a $10,000 Legacy grant to be used toward replacing the heating and air conditioning. 
He suggested maybe doing the heating, air conditioning and windows at this time, then waiting to see what
the economy does in the next few years.  Dan Rollison, Recreation Director, 209 W. Locust, said there is nothing
fancy about the proposed lighting and commented that the building is in terrible shape – the stage is damaged
from the roof leaking, floor tiles are coming loose.  He said they should do the improvements now while costs
are cheaper.  Dwight Varce indicated that he was involved a long time in wanting to get this project done. 
He noted that the architect they were originally working with has gone elsewhere and was concerned that the
new architect was doing something different with the lighting.  Council Member Mallory said that the council
had all gone to the community center and were shown what the project would entail.  Some of the newer, existing
lights will be used in closets and storage areas.  Mayor Henrich also noted that the original architect who
designed the heating and air conditioning is still working on that part of the project.  Mallory explained to Dwight
that the reason he didn’t abstain from voting on the fire truck issue was because he doesn’t feel there is any
monetary gain to himself or his son.  As there were no further comments, a motion by Council Member Peck,
seconded by Mallory, closed the public hearing at 8:20 p.m.  Motion carried.

On a motion by Council Member Burkhart, seconded by Stieneke, the council adopted Resolution No. 08-05,
instituting proceedings to take additional action on the sale of not to exceed $400,000 G.O. Notes for
community center improvements.  Roll call was:  Ayes-Stieneke, Peck, Burkhart, Mallory.  Nays-None.

A motion was made by Council Member Burkhart, seconded by Mallory, to adopt Resolution No. 08-06,
authorizing the issuance and levying a tax for the payment of $400,000 G.O. Notes for community center
improvements.  During discussion, Council Member Burkhart asked Council Member Stieneke to address
the changes he was proposing.  Stieneke referred to the outside exterior steps and wall and asked whether
that had to be done now.  Mayor Henrich said that there is a water problem behind the brick that needs to
be addressed.  The building is 45 years old and nothing has been done.  They have talked about it for
15 years.  Roll call was:  Ayes-Burkhart, Mallory, Stieneke, Peck.  Nays-None.

At 8:25 p.m., Mayor Henrich opened the public hearing on the 2008-09 budget.  As there were no oral or
written comments, a motion by Council Member Stieneke, seconded by Burkhart, unanimously closed the
hearing at 8:26 p.m.

A motion by Council Member Burkhart, seconded by Mallory, authorized transferring an additional $200,000
from Local Option Sales Tax to the Debt Service Fund to reduce the tax levy by $1.90/$1000.  Roll call
was:  Ayes-Burkhart, Mallory, Peck.  Nays-Stieneke.

On a motion by Council Member Burkhart, seconded by Peck, the council adopted the 2008-09 budget and
authorized certification of the tax levy of $17.43404/$1000.  Motion carried.

On a motion by Council Member Stieneke, seconded by Mallory, the council approved the first presentation
of an ordinance amending the allowable square footage for accessory buildings in R-1 and R-2 zoning districts. 
Roll call was:  Ayes-Stieneke, Peck, Burkhart, Mallory.  Nays-None.

A motion by Council Member Burkhart, seconded by Mallory, unanimously approved the following under
“Consent Business”.
