The amendment includes (1) updating the description of the Greater Burlington Partnership Support Program previously approved in the October, 2019 Amendment to the Plan; and (2) authorizing the undertaking of new urban renewal projects in the Urban Renewal Area consisting of (a) using tax increment financing to pay the costs of the City’s Urban Renewal Administration and Professional Support Program; (b) using tax increment financing to pay the costs of initiating and conducting a housing demand study; (c) using tax increment financing to pay the costs of the City’s acquisition of property for future recreational and commercial development; and (d) providing tax increment financing support to Midwest Realty Group, Inc. in connection with the development of a residential housing subdivision and the corresponding construction of public infrastructure. Moved by Crowner, seconded by Young, to approve a Resolution setting a Public Hearing date of July 6, 2022 to consider the July 2022 Urban Renewal Plan Amendment. Motion carried by the following votes: Ayes: Newberry, Crowner, Johnson, Lees, and Young Discuss changes to the external power on the North side of City Hall Crowner asked Council to consider adding additional external power on the north side of City Hall to provide additional capacity for the 4th of July Celebration. Josh Schuff with 3E Electrical was at the meeting to discuss what would be involved to add the additional power. The entire project including materials and labor is estimated at $19,548. 3E informed Council that they would be donating $10,159.94 toward the project leaving the City a remaining balance of approximately $9,344.54. City Administrator Mandsager recommended funding the remaining balance with funding from the Hotel/Motel Tax fund, which can be used for a public purpose such as supporting the City's 4th of July event. Council thanked 3E for the generous donation and Young challenged Council to think of other ways to utilize the power for other events. Moved by Lees, seconded by Newberry, to move forward with the installation of additional external power to the outside of City Hall as presented by 3E Electrical. Motion carried by the following votes: Ayes: Newberry, Crowner, Johnson, Lees, and Young Consider the purchase of a vehicle for the Police Department Chief Logan asked Council for permission to order a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe Police 4WD Pursuit Rated squad car. Chief Logan received a quote of $41,282.00 from Karl Chevrolet in Ankeny, Iowa. Karl Chevrolet is the current State Bid dealership in Iowa. Due to delays in delivery and manufacturing, the earliest Ford police vehicles would be available is in November of 2022. Dodge has canceled about Page 4 of 31 Agenda Item #1. 9,000 orders nationwide a few months back and maybe not be making police units in the future. The City budgeted $40,000 for a new squad car plus equipment but at this time we cannot keep it under that price and equipment costs would be an additional cost on top of the $41,282. Johnson asked that local dealerships be given the opportunity to find a vehicle before going out of town. Chief Logan explained that the State Bid is the lowest price, which is why he went with Karl Chevrolet. Logan said he would reach out to the local dealerships again before moving forward with the bid from Karl Chevrolet. Moved by Young, seconded by Lees, to approve the purchase of a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe Police 4WD vehicle in an amount not to exceed $41,282 from Karl Chevrolet unless the same vehicle can be purchased locally and delivered within the same time period. Motion carried by the following votes: Ayes: Newberry, Crowner, Johnson, Lees, and Young Consider a Resolution temporarily closing certain streets for the annual 4th of July Celebration Council considered a Resolution restricting vehicle traffic in the downtown area and temporarily closing the following streets to vehicle traffic from 7:00 a.m. July 1, 2022 to 8:00 a.m. July 5, 2021.

Council also reduced the number of hours an employee needed to work to be eligible for the "End of Season Bonus" from 300 hours to 150 hours, which is more in line with the way the staff is scheduled and the potential hours the pool will be open during the summer. Moved by Lees, seconded by Young, to approve a Resolution amending swimming pool wages for the 2022 pool season and hiring Bethany Nannen as the pool manager.

MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL CONTRACT (Once per week pick-up) This Agreement is made this 15th day of June 2022, by and between LaVeine Sanitation, hereinafter called the "Contractor" and the City of West Burlington, Iowa, a municipal corporation, hereinafter called "City". The Contractor and City agree as follows: 1. For the consideration herein stated the Contractor shall furnish equipment and personnel for the pickup, removal, and disposal of solid waste in the City of West Burlington, Iowa. 2. Definitions: The term "solid waste" as used includes the following: a. Household garbage - meaning all animal, fruit, vegetable, and other waste resulting from the preparation of food and drink. b. Rubbish - consisting of paper, magazines, tin cans, bottles, jars, glasses or other containers and miscellaneous small junk. 3. Equipment: Contractor will furnish during the period of this agreement sufficient trucks, personnel, and other necessary equipment to pick up and dispose of solid waste in the City of West Burlington, Iowa, including a "Packer Truck" specifically designed for the collection and transportation of solid waste. All trucks furnished by the Contractor, including the aforesaid packer truck, will be of a type suitable for the collection of solid waste and every truck will meet the requirements of all State Statutes, City Ordinances, and Board of Health requirements.

The Contractor shall not be required, under the terms of this contract, to pick up solid waste from any business, apartment complex consisting of more than two buildings or more than four apartments per building, commercial, industrial, or educational concern or from any hospital or from any mobile home park or trailer court. 5. Insurance and Indemnity - This Contractor shall provide compensation insurance for all his employees or personnel in accordance with the Workmen's Compensation Law of the State of Iowa. The Contractor will agree to maintain and furnish the City with a certificate or certificates evidencing public liability and property damage insurance, with a limit of liability for bodily injury to or death of one person of not less than $500,000.00 and with a total limit of liability for bodily injury to or death of more than one person of not less than $1,000,000.00. The Contractor shall protect and save harmless said City for any damages to any real or personal property that may occur by reason of the Contractor's performance of this contract and from any suit or judgment or other action whatsoever which shall occur in such performance or growing out of anything done or intended to be done under the terms of this contract. 6. Solid Waste Disposal Area - The Contractor shall dispose of all solid waste in a Solid Waste Disposal Area approved by the Iowa State Department of Health, Des Moines County Board of Health, and the West Burlington City Council. 7. Duration of Contract - This contract shall begin on the 1st day of July 2022 and shall be in effect for a period of three (3) years and shall expire on the 30th day of June 2025. 8. Consideration - In consideration of the mutual agreement herein set out and in consideration of the strict performance of said agreements by the Contractor, the City shall pay to the Contractor, the sum of $14.35 per household based on a house count of 1,024 pickups, payable in equal monthly installments, payable after the last Council Meeting of each month during the period of time covered by this contract. Said per household monthly charge is the sum of two variables: tipping fee charges and collection charges. The Contractor and City agree that, at the effective date of this agreement, seventy percent (70%) of the per household monthly charge is attributed to collection services and thirty percent (30%) of the per household monthly charge is attributed to tipping fee costs. Future increases in the per household monthly charge will be determined by changes in these two variables, respectively, as set forth in Section 9, paragraphs B and C below. Therefore, the respective portions of the per household Page 25 of 31 Agenda Item #3. monthly charge attributed to these two variables may change over the life of this Agreement. 9. Increases in Consideration A. Increase in Pick-Ups. In the event there is an increase in pickups at the end of the first year covered by this contract of 25 households or more, excluding any households acquired by reason of annexation or the relocation of residences lost through condemnation or casualty loss such as fire or tornado or similar catastrophe, then both parties agree to renegotiate the balance due and owing by reason of this contract. Said renegotiations are to commence January 15, 2023, and each succeeding January 15 thereafter for the duration of this contract, upon 15 days' notice by either party hereto of the election to renegotiate the consideration for this contract. Any renegotiated consideration under this contract shall be effective for the succeeding fiscal year commencing on July 1 of that year. B. Tipping Fee Increases. In the event the Des Moines County Regional Solid Waste Commission increases tipping fees for household refuse at its landfill, then, in that event, the per household monthly charge as set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement shall be increased per the following formula: ((A-B) x .30) x C = D E=B+D where: A = current household monthly charge B = inflationary increases for collection services (paragraph C below) C = percent increase in tipping fee D = new household monthly charge, less inflationary increases for collection service E = new household monthly charge C. Inflationary Increases for Collection Services. The per household monthly charge as set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement shall increase two percent (2%) on seventy percent (70%) of the initial monthly charge on July 1, 2022, per the following formula: Page 26 of 31 Agenda Item #3. ((W-X) x .70) x 1.02 = Y Z=X+Y where: W = current household monthly charge X = tipping fee increases (paragraph B above) Y = new household monthly charge, less tipping fee increases Z = new household monthly charge Assuming no increase in the household monthly charge due to a tipping fee increase (per paragraph B above), the above formula results in a per household monthly charge of $14.35 during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, and $14.85 during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. Fees are as follows July 1, 2022-June 30, 2023, $14.35 per household. July 1, 2023-June 30, 2024, $14.35 per household July 1. 2024-June 30, 2025, $14.85 per household 10.
