Annual scholarship dedicated in
memory of Samson Boylen
An annual scholarship in
memory of Samson Boylen has
been established with the MFL
MarMac Dollars for Scholars.
Samson was the son of Scott and
Kelli (Kaderly) Boylen and brother
to Ayla Boylen. He died Nov. 29,
2015, 12 days after being diagnosed
with Leukemia. He had a rare side
effect to the chemotherapy.
He enjoyed reading, video
games, fishing, hunting, camping
and spending time with family and
friends. He enjoyed many sports,
especially soccer. He had a kind
heart and a tender soul. Many
appreciated his great sense of
humor and quick wit.
Scott, Kelli and Ayla put a lot of
consideration into the scholarship
selection criteria. They decided
upon a minimum 500 word essay,
asking the applicant to define what
empathy and compassion mean
to them and share the impact of
empathy and compassion in their
life, both giving and receiving.
Scott and Kelli say Samson
sometimes struggled with bullying
but did his best to persevere. He
also was very empathetic and
compassionate with young people
who he knew had been through
similar circumstances.

Monona Council accepts resignations
The Monona City Council met
in regular session April 18. Council
members voted to accept letter of
resignation dated April 13, 2016 from
council member Jason Schubert.
Administrator Canton reviewed
the procedure and options for filling a
vacant council seat.
He explained that the city has
forty days to make an appointment
or call for a special election after a
council vacancy exists. The council
may make the appointment to fill the
vacancy after a ‘Notice’ has been
published or after the vacancy occurs,
whichever is later.
Anyone the council considers for
the appointment is required to meet
the same qualifications as a candidate
seeking to run for office. There is no
required procedure for identifying
candidates for appointment. The city
council can determine its own process
for selecting a qualified candidate.
If the council chooses to fill
the vacancy by appointment, a
‘Notice of Intent’ is required to be
published not less than four and not
more than twenty days before the
council considers the appointment in
accordance with Iowa Code Section
362.3. The notice must identify
the vacancy, state the intention of
the council to fill the vacancy by
appointment and indicate the date,
time, and place of the meeting at
which the appointment will be made.
The council may make the
appointment to fill the vacancy after
the ‘Notice’ is published and that
the person appointed would fill the
vacancy until the next pending city
election in 2017. However, if within
fourteen days after the appointment
is made, a ‘petition’ is filed with the
city clerk requesting an election, the
council must call a special election to
fill the vacancy. If a valid ‘petition’
for a special election is filed after
a council appointment, the initial
appointment is considered temporary,
with the person subsequently elected
by special election serving the
remaining balance of the unexpired
term.
After careful consideration of
the appointment and special election
process, the council voted to fill the
council vacancy by appointment
and publish a ‘Notice of Intent’
as required by Iowa Code Section
372.13(2)(a) in the June13th issue of
The Outlook. It was also agreed that
the notice would include language
that any person interested in being
appointed may submit a ‘Letter of
Interest’ along with a brief narrative
as to why they would like to serve on
the city council. Letters of interest
would be due May 12, 2016 at 4:00
p.m. with the city council to consider
an official appointment at regular
council meeting to be held Monday,
May 16, 2016 at 6:00 p.m.
Deputy clerk Gullickson talked
briefly about pool operations.
Michelle Finnegan would be the pool
manager with Jessica Cline assistant
manager. Seven returning life guards
have been hired along with eight
new guards. Opening of the pool
was tentatively set for May 28th
depending upon weather conditions.
Gullickson noted that $5,890 is
available from Darby Endowment

MFL MarMac School District host mock disaster April 20
A mock disaster was held at
MFL MarMac High School last
Wednesday, April 20. It was held
less than two week’s before this
weekend’s prom festivities. The
disaster reinforced to students what
can happen when people do not
drive responsibly. Along with being
reminded of the consequences of
drunk driving, emphasis was also
put on the dangers of texting and
talking while driving.
The disaster culminated with
an evening assembly where parents
were called up to read their child’s
obituary.
Along with students and staff,
those helping with the mock
disaster were law enforcement
officials, ambulance crews and the
fire department.
As part of the disaster drill, a
student died every 15 minutes.
McGregor City Council presents nuisance list in recent meeting
The McGregor City Council met
in regular session on March 20. The
mayor, council and administrator
presented the nuisance lists that they
had compiled. The council directed
the clerk to work with the city
attorney to prepare notices regarding
the nuisances and what was cited.
Most required only clearing and
removal of junk, but several included
removal of dilapidated structures or
repair. The list of properties cited is
available at city hall.
A previous communication
regarding sale of multiple lots in
Ohmer Ridge to one owner was
provided to the council. Some
interest has again been expressed by
a potential buyer wishing to build
a larger home. An offer will need
to be presented to the council for
consideration before further action
can be taken.
Linda Boeke asked that the
council continue to consider doing
work on the storm sewer inlet
located on A Street adjacent to
the Horsfield property. The inlet
is undersized and does not handle
the water in a heavy rain event.
Mayor Brooks informed her that
this has been looked into and will
be addressed as funding becomes
available.
Pat Jones was present as interim
Superintendent. Turner Park
playground has been completed.
Basic Wastewater Operator course
was completed and the certificate
of eligibility to take the Wastewater
I test is pending. As soon as that is
received the test can be scheduled.
The clerk requested council

MONONA Council
From Front
for various facility improvements.
Obtaining a pool cover to conserve
heat and painting the pool in fall of
2016 was mentioned. After review of
the proposed wage scale, the council
voted to approve Resolution No. 201614 Establishing Wages for Family
Aquatic Center Staff for 2016.
At a previous council meeting,
Jerry and Debra Neuhaus inquired
as to whether the city would
consider vacating a portion of Center
Street west of the Monroe Street
intersection. It was again explained
that a portion of West Center borders
the north boundary of the Neuhaus
property although the street Right-ofWay (ROW) is not paved. The ROW
area is adjacent to Neuhaus real estate
parcels #361461026 and #3611461035
as identified on the Clayton County
Beacon. It is currently planted to
grass and has a line of evergreen
trees on the north side of the ROW.
The land north of the street ROW is
currently undeveloped and owned
by others. Mr. Neuhaus indicated he
would like to install solar panels in
the ROW so that existing 40’ trees
on south side of their property could
be left intact to allow for optimal sun
light angle to solar array. He stated
that without the street vacation, solar
energy is something they wouldn’t be
able to effectively pursue.
Council members mentioned that
the city is currently in the process of
conducting a planning and growth
study that includes the northwest
portion of Monona. Vacating the
street ROW now might not be
consistent with future development
plans. Administrator Canton noted
that street vacation request would
need to go before the Planning and
Zoning Commission prior to city
council taking any action on the
matter. A public hearing would also
need to be conducted prior to a final
council decision.
At the conclusion of comments, it
was agreed to delay further discussion
until after the planning and growth
committee meets again next month
to review and determine potential
development areas/sites in Monona.
Mr. Neuhaus stated he would like to
attend that meeting as well.
Deputy clerk Gullickson suggested
that the council consider a faster/
better method of communication
other than using Channel 13,
FM100, Facebook and the Monona
Website when notifying residents of
water shut-offs or other important
city related issues. Price quotes
from three companies that provide
notification systems capable of
sending immediate mass notifications
citywide through text messages,
phone message or email were
reviewed. Proposals from One
Call Now, AMG Alerts and Send
Word Now were discussed. Upon
recommendation from Gullickson the
council voted to accept quote from
‘One Call Now’ at a price of .15 cents
per call.
PeopleService operator Robert
Penrod submitted written Operations
and Maintenance (O&M) reports for
water and wastewater departments
for month of March. A question was
asked about unresolved residual
chlorine levels at WWTP. Penrod
stated that a meeting of PeopleService
staff, Vessco and V&K reps was
held March 17th to consider a plan
of action to resolve the matter. Sewer
manhole structure and flow-meter
might need to be installed at WWTP.
A suggestion was made to set up a
meeting with V&K engineer and
Iowa DNR to discuss proposed
recommendations with city council.
Penrod indicated he would arrange a
meeting.
Mayor Collins indicated she might
have a galvanized antenna in storage
that could be used at the WWTP.
Photos will be provided to Mr.
Penrod to determine usability.
A suggestion was made by council
member Meyer to trade city’s Bobcat
skid loader for a John Deer (JD)
Utility Tractor. The JD 1025R 18
H.P. Sub-Compact Utility Tractor
would have front end Loader Bucket,
Mid-Mount Side Discharge Mower,
Heavy-Duty Quick-Hitch Rotary
Broom and Enclosed Cab. Priced at
$9,250 with trade, the tractor would

be more versatile than a skid loader
and would be used for both lawn
mowing and snow removal. A rear
Blade Attachment could be rear
mounted as well for price of $932.65
or Snow Blower Attachment for
$3,035.71. The council then voted to
purchase JD 1025R 18 H.P. SubCompact Utility Tractor with blade
for $10,182.65.
City engineers indicated that
there are approximately four sanitary
sewer manhole structures that are in
good condition that have water mains
running through them. A question
was asked if now would be the time
to have this issue taken care of. An
estimate of the quantities to do this
based on unit prices provided in
the project and the quantities come
to about $6,800 per water main
relocation. The cost could change
based on actual quantities needed
when the work is done. Engineer
Ruden would like a yes or no
from council whether to make this
separation at this time or deal with
it in the future. At the conclusion
of discussion the council voted to
relocate existing water mains outside
sewer manhole structures in good
condition at four locations as part of
Phase II Sewer Project.
Engineer Ruden indicated that
existing pavement in many places is
an HMA overlay over PCC pavement.
Contract documents reflect that
replacement of pavement patches
to be either 4” HMA over 10” of
compacted base stone or 7” PCC over
6” compacted stone base. Existing
pavement is about 4” of HMA
over 6” PCC. The council needs to
decide it they want to match existing
pavement or go with some other
patch combination in these areas (all
PCC or thicker HMA). If patch work
is to be constructed like pavement
currently in place (4” HMA over 6”
PCC) it’s likely that needed materials
would exceed planned quantities.
At the conclusion of discussion, it
was consensus of council to install
7” of PCC over 6” compacted stone
base where street surface patches
are needed upon confirmation with
engineer Ruden.
A letter dated April 7, 2016
was received from Melania Atha
of Casey’s Marketing Company
requesting Annexation of 1.4 Acres of
land east of South Main Street along
Falcon Drive. A ‘Plat of Survey’ along
with legal description as prepared by
A. Leo Pelds Engineering Company
was also provided. Current property
owners were listed as Mark and
June Birdnow with the contracted
buyer noted as Casey’s Marketing
Company. The letter of request would
also need to be authorized by the
property owner.
Administrator Canton talked
about annexation protocol and
explained publication and notification
requirements for Voluntary
Annexation. Two weeks after
‘Notice of Intent’ to Annex has been
published in The Outlook and a
written notice provided to Clayton
County Commissioners, the city
would be able to take action through
a formal resolution approving the
annexation at May 16, 2016 regular
council meeting. Annexation
would be final when approval is
subsequently received from Iowa
Secretary of State. The council
then voted to authorize initiation of
annexation procedures.
The council talked briefly about
the possibility of annexation of
additional parcels of land along
the southeast perimeter of Monona
city limits. Possible property tax
abatements, if any, for annexation
of developed parcels would need to
be determined as well as subsequent
timeline for extension and/or
connection to city sanitary sewer
infrastructure. City engineers would
also need to determine how and
where sewer utilities would be made
available to various development lots.
It was the consensus of the council
to compile additional information for
consideration.
Chief Amsden provided and
briefly reviewed detailed activity
summary for March 2016.
Also distributed was 2016
Prescription Drug Disposal Day
Flyer. The Monona drop off site will
be held Saturday, April 30, 2016
from10:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. at
Police Station.
Executive director Halvorson
briefly reviewed the MCED report
for the period January 1st – March
31st. 2016 Membership Drive,
Website, Marketing/Promotion,
Community Advocacy, Tourism,
Business Development, Economic
Development and Community
Visioning activities were mentioned
in the report. Halvorson noted that
Monona Housing Needs Assessment
Forum will be held at 10:00 A.M.,
Wednesday, May 18th in the
Community Center. The Monona
Hays Days event scheduled for June
17-18 was also discussed.
A request was previously made
asking the council to consider
placement of a street light in the alley
between East Center and East Iowa
Street. Alliant Energy would charge
$8.71 per month for the installation
of 80W LED Light on their existing
utility pole. The fee would cover the
light and pole rental. A related energy
charge would be .98 cents per month.
A question was previously asked if
the city could purchase the lights and
brackets instead of renting, however,
Alliant indicated lights and brackets
are rental only. At the conclusion
of comments the council voted to
authorize installation of street as
proposed.
Administrator Canton stated
there have been no applicants for
vacant seat on the Planning &
Zoning Commission. However, a
question was recently asked if one
individual could serve simultaneously
on the Monona Planning & Zoning
Commission and the Monona Zoning
Board of Adjustment. He further
commented that the Planning &
Zoning Commission (P&Z) does
not actually make zoning decisions they submit recommendations to the
City Council and/or to the Zoning
Board of Adjustment (ZBA). The
ZBA does make decisions, most of
which concern zoning variances
and conditional use permits etc.
It was also recognized that city
administrator is also secretary of both
the P&Z and the ZBA although not a
board member.
Opinion AGO 05-2-1 from
the Iowa Attorney General Office
regarding Dual Service on the P&Z
and the ZBA states that as long
as precautions are taken to ensure
that the two entities continue to
operate as separate entities, common
membership on the Planning &
Zoning Commission and Zoning
Board of Adjustment does not
violate Iowa Code Chapter 414 and
is not otherwise prohibited by law.

Great Cycle Challenge
The Great Cycle Challenge is
back. Last year Tracey Tepesch
and Linda Wilder biked 649 miles
and raised $2,432.07 combined for
Children’s Cancer Research. This
year they plan to bike a minimum
of 700 miles (combined) and raise
even more funds to help fund
Children’s Cancer Research. Their
goal in 2016 is to raise $10 for
every mile they bike in the hopes of
reaching their goal of $7,000. They
both felt that this challenge was
rewarding and exhausting and all
consuming in a very positive way.
Cancer has touched almost every
person in one way or another.
Tepesch said, “As each mile is
pedaled you know that the sore
muscles and sore bums do not
compare with the struggles that
individuals and families face when
cancer enters their lives. We want
to support and help to make a
difference by doing something we
love which is pedaling for a great
cause.”
They are asking for the
community’s support. If anyone
is interested in donating to their
Challenge please make checks
payable to: Children’s Cancer
Research Fund and mail to: Tracey
Tepesch 208 3RD ST NE Waukon,
Iowa 52172. Every dollar raised is
a step towards finding a cure for
cancer. No amount is too small
and all amounts are tax deductible.
Please include your email address
on your donation so that a receipt
can be emailed to you.
Tepesch concluded by saying,
“Updates on our progress will be
shared periodically through the end
of the challenge. Thank you to all
who have supported us in 2015 and
to those who have and will support
us in 2016. Here we go! Let’s roll!”

Ruff Report
The Iowa House approved a bill
to continue the state’s job creation
efforts next year, but it did not
address wage inequities and funding
for local job placement offices.
The House Majority party
turned back an effort to ensure
that companies that accept state
contracts pay women the same wage
for the same work. The bill also
included a $200,000 reduction to
Iowa Workforce Development field
offices.
The Economic Development
Appropriations Budget, House
File 2455, includes funding for the
Department of Cultural Affairs, the
Economic Development Authority,
the economic development activities
at the State universities, and Iowa
Workforce Development. The bill
now goes to the Senate for further
consideration.
Since Medicaid was privatized
on April 1st, many providers
and Medicaid members are still
confused and having trouble with
the new system. Providers have
reported not being paid for services,
and members have said they are
having difficulty accessing care.
In response, many lawmakers
believe robust oversight is needed
to guarantee the $4 billion in
taxpayer funds are spent efficiently
and Iowans can still access the
services they need. The oversight
plan offered by some lawmakers
would use existing committees
of legislators, state agencies and
members of the public to oversee
implementation and make any
recommendations for changes if
necessary.
However, that oversight plan
was rejected this week by the
House Majority Party. Instead,
they would just require the private
managed care organizations (MCO)
to make public the reports they are
already required to file. There is no
mechanism to fix issues that arise or
hold the MCO’s accountable.
If you are still having issues
with the change and need answers
to your questions, members and
providers should use the following

Just a week after passing the
water quality bill, the House
Majority party cut $2 million to
improve Iowa’s water in a catch-all
state budget plan now sent over to
the Senate.
Besides short-changing
water quality efforts, many
lawmakers expressed concerns
about the majority party’s cut
to the state’s share of the Peace
Officer Retirement System, which
decreased from $5 million to $2.5
million, and the reduced funding to
Iowa’s Area Education Agencies by
$20 million. These agencies provide
special education support services
to Iowa’s kids.
Another measure in the bill,
which had bi-partisan support,
requires the Legislative Tax
Expenditure Committee to review
six tax credits in the 2016 interim.
This committee is charged with
reviewing a variety of tax incentive
programs, and it was discovered that
six tax credits were not included in
the list of items to be reviewed.

Until next week!
I was in college in Oakland and
Senator Gaylord Nelson instigated
Earth Day on a Wednesday in April
so college students could participate
to the fullest extent. They are
malleable and the professors
thought the cause was urgent
enough that class could wait.
Global cooling was the cause
of the day and certainly a worthy
concern. Throughout the centuries
famine and civil unrest have
accompanied cooler periods
which, unlike today, came and
went with changes in solar activity
and geologic events (as opposed
to human activity). Warm climatic
periods have been times of bounty.
On Earth Day 1970 I marched
with some sort of sign, probably
denouncing corporations for
polluting a swamp. I lived a block
away from Oakland Tech High
School, where Huey Newton
went before founding the Black
Panther Party. The Panthers, as
we affectionately called them,
conducted social programs for “the
community” along with their more
militant and violent activities. In
other words, they were a microcosm
of the federal government.
In a quest for social justice, the
Panthers and the government are
tools for those who think they know
the right thing to do and think that
knowledge is exclusive to their
exceptional minds. The real issue
surrounding Earth Day should be
whether government may be used to
subsidize inefficient technology in
unproven quests for a perfect world.
I know most people consider
Earth Day as a good time to clean
up or plant trees. I picked up some
trash out of the road ditch yesterday,
public property by the way. The
problem comes when activists
hijack the idea of recognizing
the value of a clean environment
and use it to justify trampling on
the rights of others for their own
utopian dreams or profits.
Take Elon Musk’s Tesla as an
example. I read last weekend about
the new Tesla Model X. It is a seven
passenger SUV that can go from
zero to sixty miles per hour in 3.2
seconds. The cost is only $135,000.
It qualifies for a Section 179 tax
break of $25,000 because it can be
used for business and has a gross
vehicle weight over 6,000 pounds.
It also qualifies for a $7,500 electric
vehicle federal tax credit. But now
California has added a means test
for their tax incentive. Hardly
anyone who subsidizes Tesla can
afford one of their cars and we pay
for the roads as well.
All these benefits go to a
company that is really no more
green than Volkswagen when all the
costs of mining, manufacturing, and
electricity are added up. And our
Volkswagen can go three times as
far between fill-ups.
When I go to buy something
I make a decision as to whether
that thing is worth the effort I took
to make the money. That process
doesn’t apply to Tesla, or wind
power for that matter. The money
is spent for us without our consent.
Some might say, as our son did
upon a visit home from college
years ago, that we did consent
through our vote. As Charles
Grassley once told me, “I don’t
know. The courts just approved it
over time.”
Musk, Warren Buffet, and untold
numbers of sly businessmen dream
up threats and crises. Taxpayers
gladly cough up the money to pay
for a fix that never gets the job done,
unless that job is lining the pockets
of businessmen who make products
that would never stand the test of
real capitalism.
I’m no longer green on the
outside and red on the inside like a
watermelon. I’m green through and
through because I know that strict
enforcement of private property
rights is a better path to a clean
environment. As I write this, it is
tax day. When you read this it will
be Earth Day. The two are more
closely related than we might think.

McGregor Council
From Front
permission to pay out the travel time
of 13 hours to and from Ankeny for
the two trips made. Council was
in agreement to just pay it out now
rather than bank as comp.
Carolyn Gallagher, director
of the chamber, was present to
provide a quarterly report. The arts
and crafts event currently has 27
vendors with many of the regular
vendors yet to register. Several bus
tours are booked. Maggie Schultz
will be offering primitive camping
and B & B at their property.
Marquette will resume their funding
of $8,000 to the chamber, the same
amount that had been funded prior
to leaving the chamber. Lazy River
planning is also underway. She has
placed available business properties
on free sights to help promote their
sale. Several ventures are in the
works. Halvorson asked what the
chamber is doing in the area of
business development for existing
businesses. Mayor Brooks asked if
the city’s economic development
committee and the director and one
or two of the chamber members
could schedule a meeting in the
near future. Available dates will be
sent out to set up a meeting.
The council considered a
recommendation sent from the dock
commission to allow Robert Vavra,
operator of the Maiden Voyage, to
lease space for his “sucker shack”
at the same rental fee per foot as
the others who have a space on the
city docking area. The boat will
provide space for food preparation
for his catered river tours and be his
loading area for passengers. He will
sell T-shirts and other souvenirs for
those who take the riverboat tour.
The boat will be docked adjacent
to the shoreline on the inside
of the public dock location and
will not take up any of the public
docking space that is available.
He is in the process of obtaining
all the necessary clearances and
licensing for the boat. Mayor
Brooks expressed his support for
the venture. After the discussion the
council voted to approve the dock
commission request to lease the
space to Mr.Vavra at the same lease
rate as all others who rent space.
The council discussed the
purchase of a new end loader to
replace the 2001 Case. Several
options on the Cat 926M were
presented in a spread sheet which
included without a wing, two
different wing options and extended
lease period. Carroll asked for
more information on all of the
tasks that the loader was used for.
Snow removal, moving the docks in
and out, brush and debris handling,
storm and flood clean up, loading sand,
gravel and other materials were some
of the uses. He questioned whether a
new loader was needed at this time.
The council further discussed the wing
usage and determined they would not
be interested in adding that attachment.
The consensus of the majority
of the council was that the loader
should be replaced now while
the trade in allowance is still
good. Attorney Schuster had not
prepared the hearing notice yet, so
the council directed the clerk to
have the necessary documents to
have on the agenda of the special
meeting to schedule a hearing for
May regular meeting. Administrator
Sander explained that there had
been some interest from another
city in purchase of the loader. A
price range was given by the dealer
if that was being considered. The
council had concerns about selling
the unit in as-is condition to a
neighboring city with the possibility
that there may be problems arise with
the machine. If this is to be done an
ad would need to be placed for sealed
bids. The council felt trading the loader
was the best option in this instance.
Administrator Sander informed
the mayor and council that CDBG
grant administrator had sent an
email to indicate there are no
additional CDBG Hazard Mitigation
match grant funds available to assist
with the FEMA project. The total
project budget has increased since
the match funds were awarded
and was part of the 2008 Disaster.
The match grant supplemented
the funding by absorbing the local
match as well as the state. The
administrator is verifying with
the State what state funds will be
paid and the portion of local match
that is covered so the amount still
needed can be determined.
Mayor Brooks had previously
suggested that if there are any
smaller storm sewer projects that
need to be completed that some
additional funds be borrowed.
Council was in agreement with
that depending on the final number.
Projects to consider were the storm
sewer inlet on A-Street in front of
Horsfield’s, the sink hole that has
formed along the main storm sewer
channel behind Doug Farley and
some catch up work with the main
storm sewer channel. The discussion
will continue at the upcoming
special meeting.
The personnel committee, mayor
and administrator met briefly prior
to the meeting to plan a timeline
for hiring. Applications will be
accepted until Friday, April 22 and
will be delivered to the interview
committee members. Interviews
will be scheduled for the 27th or

The council reviewed a use
of city property request from the
McGregor Achievement Club for
the Car Cruise for from Friday, July
15 mid morning until 3:00 p.m.
Saturday July 16. Council members
voted to grant the street closure for
one block of A Street adjacent to
Triangle Park, all of 1st Street and
the 1st St. parking lot.
Councilman Echard asked that
the barricades be taken down and
set aside at the end of the car cruise
to allow parking again around
Triangle Park. A request for a $50
sponsorship fee for the Car Cruise
was reviewed. The city currently
provides street sweeping of the
parking lot and 1st St., picnic tables,
garbage totes and one portable
toilet. Following some discussion,
the mayor and council added
to their current sponsorship the
addition of a second toilet that the
city will pay for at a cost of $60.
The council also approved the
following motions:
• Resolution 01-04-2016 Approving
Disposal of an Interest in Real

City of Monona
Regular Council Meeting
Monday, April 18, 2016
The Monona, Iowa, City Council met in
regular session Monday, April 18, 2016 at 6:00
P.M. at the City Hall. Mayor Barbara Collins
presided with Randee Blietz, Dan Havlicek,
Andrew Meyer, and John Elledge present.
Jason Schubert was absent.
Guests Present: Jerry Neuhaus, Debra
Neuhaus, Linda Gullickson (Deputy Clerk),
Robert Penrod (PeopleService), Jo Amsden
(Police Chief), Rogeta Halvorson (MCED),
Adrian Rudnitzki, Samantha Sellers, Brandon
Martin, Emily Moses, Drake Bohland, Cheyenne Lochman and Audrey Posten (North Iowa
Times).
1) Approve Consent Agenda: Moved by
Meyer, seconded Elledge, to approve consent
agenda as listed. Carried Unanimously:
Meeting Agenda; Council Minutes – April 4th;
Treasurer/ Budgetary Reports – March; Library
Report – March; Little Bulldog Childcare
Report – March; Utility Billing Reconciliation –
March/April
2) Hearing of Delegations; None
3) Discuss Proposed Street Vacation: At
previous council meeting Jerry and Debra
Neuhaus inquired as to whether the city would
consider vacating a portion of Center Street
west of the Monroe Street intersection. It
was again explained that a portion of West
Center borders the north boundary of the
Neuhaus property although the street Rightof-Way (ROW) is not paved. The ROW area
is adjacent to Neuhaus real estate parcels
#361461026 and #3611461035 as identified
on the Clayton County Beacon. It is currently
planted to grass and has a line of evergreen
trees on the north side of the ROW. The land
north of the street ROW is currently undeveloped and owned by others. Mr. Neuhaus
indicated he would like to install solar panels
in the ROW so that existing 40’ trees on south
side of their property could be left intact to
allow for optimal sun light angle to solar array.
He stated that without the street vacation, solar
energy is something they wouldn’t be able to
effectively pursue.
Council members mentioned the city
is currently in the process of conducting a
planning and growth study that includes the
northwest portion of Monona. Vacating the
street ROW now might not be consistent with
future development plans.
Administrator Canton noted that street
vacation request would need to go before the
Planning and Zoning Commission prior to city
council taking any action on the matter. A public hearing would also need to be conducted
prior to a final council decision.
At conclusion of comments, it was agreed
to delay further discussion until after the
planning and growth committee meets again
next month to review and determine potential
development areas/sites in Monona. Mr.
Neuhaus stated he would like to attend that
meeting as well.
4) Resolution Approving 2016 Pool Staff
Wages: Deputy clerk Gullickson talked briefly
about pool operations. Michelle Finnegan
would be the pool manager with Jessica Cline
assistant manager. Seven (7) returning life
guards have been hired along with eight (8)
new guards. Opening was tentatively set for
May 28th depending upon weather conditions.
Gullickson noted that $5,890 is available
from Darby Endowment for various facility
improvements. Obtaining a pool cover to conserve heat and painting the pool in fall of 2016
was mentioned.
After review of proposed wage scale, it
was moved by Elledge, seconded by Blietz,
to Approve Resolution No. 2016-14 Establishing Wages for Family Aquatic Center Staff
for 2016. Roll Call Vote: Ayes – Four. Nays –
None. Resolution was adopted.
5) Consider Implementation of Mass
Notification System: Deputy clerk Gullickson
suggested council consider a faster/better
method of communication other than using
Channel 13, FM100, Facebook and the
Monona Website when notifying residents of
water shut-offs or other important city related
issues. Price quotes from three (3) companies
that provide notification systems capable of
sending immediate mass notifications citywide
through text messages, phone message or
email were reviewed. Proposals from One Call
Now, AMG Alerts and Send Word Now were
discussed.
Upon recommendation from Gullickson, it
was moved by Elledge, seconded by Blietz, to
accept quote from ‘One Call Now’ at a price of
.15 cents per call. Carried Unanimously.
6) PeopleService Report: PeopleService
operator Robert Penrod submitted written
Operations and Maintenance (O&M) reports
for water and wastewater departments for
month of March. O&M activities were identified
in detail:
Water O&M
•Received safe bacteria report for March
•Attended AWWA Region 1 Meeting in
Manchester
•Worked on polyphosphate pump at well
no. 3
•Lost communication signal to well no. 2 &
3 due to ice on antenna at WWTP causing
tower to overflow. Need better antenna
Wastewater O&M
•Moved snow
•Wire Factory lift station issues with alarm
status. Called Electric Pump.
•Talked to IIW project inspector regarding
project communication
•March 17th meeting was held at WWTP
regarding chlorine equipment issues. V&K
engineer, Manchester DNR, Automatic
Systems Control and PeopleService reps
discussed the matter at hand. More info
would be forthcoming
•Looked at plugged sewer on West Iowa.
Sewer manholes were ok. Homeowner
would investigate further
•Observed manhole construction work as
part of Phase II Sewer Project
•DNR and State Hyienic Lab obtained wastewater samples
•DNR inspected sewer manhole construction
as part of Phase II Project
Question was asked about unresolved
residual chlorine levels at WWTP. Penrod
stated that a meeting of PeopleService staff,
Vessco and V&K reps was held March 17th to
consider a plan of action to resolve the matter.
Sewer manhole structure and flow-meter might
need to be installed at WWTP. Suggestion was
made to set up a meeting with V&K engineer
and Iowa DNR to discuss proposed recommendations with city council. Penrod indicated
he would arrange a meeting.
Mayor Collins indicated she might have a
galvanized antenna in storage that could be
used at the WWTP. Photos would be provided
to Mr. Penrod to determine usability.
7) Consider John Deere Sub-Compact
Utility Tractor: Suggestion was made by
council member Meyer to trade city’s Bobcat
skid loader for a John Deer (JD) Utility Tractor.
The JD 1025R 18 H.P. Sub-Compact Utility
Tractor would have front end Loader Bucket,
Mid-Mount Side Discharge Mower, Heavy-Duty
Quick-Hitch Rotary Broom and Enclosed Cab.
Priced at $9,250 with trade, the tractor would
be more versatile than a skid loader and would
be used for both lawn mowing and snow removal. A rear Blade Attachment could be rear
mounted as well for price of $932.65 or Snow
Blower Attachment for $3,035.71.
Moved by Elledge, seconded by Havlicek,
to purchase JD 1025R 18 H.P. Sub-Compact
Utility Tractor with blade for $10,182.65. Carried Unanimously.
8) Accept Resignation from City Council
Member Jason Schubert: Moved by Blietz,
seconded by Meyer, to accept letter of resignation dated April 13, 2016 from council member
Jason Schubert. Motion Passed.
9) Review Options for Filling City Council
Vacancy/Authorize Notice of Intent : Administrator Canton reviewed procedure and options
for filling a vacant council seat.
He explained the city has forty (40) days to
make an appointment or call for a special election after a council vacancy exists. The council
may make the appointment to fill the vacancy
after a ‘Notice’ has been published or after the
vacancy occurs, whichever is later.
Anyone council considers for the appointment is required to meet the same qualifications as a candidate seeking to run for office.
There is no required procedure for identifying
candidates for appointment. The city council
can determine its own process for selecting a
qualified candidate.
If council chooses to fill the vacancy by
appointment, a ‘Notice of Intent’ is required
to be published not less than four (4) and not
more than twenty (20) days before the council
considers the appointment in accordance with
Iowa Code Section 362.3. The notice must
identify the vacancy, state the intention of the
council to fill the vacancy by appointment and
indicate the date, time, and place of the meeting at which the appointment will be made.
The council may make the appointment to
fill the vacancy after the ‘Notice’ is published
and that the person appointed would fill the
vacancy until the next pending city election
in 2017. However, if within fourteen (14) days
after the appointment is made, a ‘petition’ is
filed with the city clerk requesting an election,
the council must call a special election to fill
the vacancy. If a valid ‘petition’ for a special
election is filed after a council appointment, the
initial appointment is considered temporary,
with the person subsequently elected by
special election serving the remaining balance
of the unexpired term.
After careful consideration of the appointment and special election process, it was
moved by Meyer, seconded by Elledge, to
fill the council vacancy by appointment and
publish a ‘Notice of Intent’ as required by Iowa
Code Section 372.13(2)(a) in the June13th
issue of The Outlook. Carried Unanimously.
It was also agreed that the notice would
include language that any person interested in
being appointed may submit a ‘Letter of Interest’ along with a brief narrative as to why they
would like to serve on the city council. Letters
of interest would be due May 12, 2016 at 4:00
p.m. with the city council to consider an official
appointment at regular council meeting to be
held Monday, May 16, 2016 at 6:00 p.m.
10) Approve Additional Work in Conjunction with Phase II Sanitary Sewer Project
a. Water Main through Good Condition
Manhole: City engineers indicated there
are approximately four (4) sanitary sewer
manhole structures that are in good condition that have water mains running through
them. Question was asked if now would be
the time to have this issue taken care of. An
estimate of the quantities to do this based
on unit prices provided in the project and the
quantities come to about $6,800 per water
main relocation. The cost could change
based on actual quantities needed when the
work is done. Engineer Ruden would like a
yes or no from council whether to make this
separation at this time or deal with it in the
future.
At conclusion of discussion, it was moved
by Meyer, seconded by Blietz, to relocate
existing water mains outside sewer manhole
structures in good condition at four (4)
locations as part of Phase II Sewer Project.
Carried Unanimously.
b. Pavement Patches: Engineer Ruden
indicated that existing pavement in many
places is an HMA overlay over PCC pavement. Contract documents reflect that replacement of pavement patches to be either
4” HMA over 10” of compacted base stone
or 7” PCC over 6” compacted stone base.
Existing pavement is about 4” of HMA over
6” PCC. Council needs to decide it they want
to match existing pavement or go with some
other patch combination in these areas (all
PCC or thicker HMA). If patch work is to be
constructed like pavement currently in place
(4” HMA over 6” PCC) it’s likely that needed
materials would exceed planned quantities.
At conclusion of discussion, it was consensus of council to install 7” of PCC over 6”
compacted stone base where street surface
patches are needed upon confirmation with
engineer Ruden.
11) Approve Request from Casey’s to Initiate Annexation Process for Land East of South
Main Street : Letter dated April 7, 2016 was
received from Melania Atha of Casey’s Marketing Company requesting Annexation of 1.4
Acres of land east of South Main Street along
Falcon Drive. A ‘Plat of Survey’ along with
legal description as prepared by A. Leo Pelds
Engineering Company was also provided. Current property owner were listed as Mark and
June Birdnow with the contracted buyer noted
as Casey’s Marketing Company. The letter of
request would also need to be authorized by
the property owner.
Administrator Canton talked about annexation protocol and explained publication
and notification requirements for Voluntary Annexation. Two (2) weeks after ‘Notice of Intent’
to Annex has been published in The Outlook
and written notice provided to Clayton County
Commissioners, the city would be able to take
action through a formal resolution approving
the annexation at May 16, 2016 regular council
meeting. Annexation would be final when
approval is subsequently received from Iowa
Secretary of State.
Moved by Blietz, seconded by Elledge, to
authorize initiation of annexation procedures.
Carried Unanimously.
12) Annexation of Additional Land Parcels:
Council talked briefly about possibility of annexation of additional parcels of land along
southeast perimeter of Monona city limits. Possible property tax abatements, if any, for annexation of developed parcels would need to
be determined as well as subsequent timeline
for extension and/or connection to city sanitary
sewer infrastructure. City engineers would
also need to determine how and where sewer
utilities would be made available to various
development lots. It was consensus to compile
additional information for consideration.
13) Police Report: Chief Amsden provided
and briefly reviewed detailed activity summary
for March 2016.
Also distributed was 2016 Prescription
Drug Disposal Day Flyer. Monona drop off
site would be held Saturday, April 30, 2016
from10:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. at Police Station.
14) Monona Chamber and Economic
Development Report MCED: Executive
director Halvorson briefly reviewed MCED
report for period January 1st – March 31st.
2016 Membership Drive, Website, Marketing/
Promotion, Community Advocacy, Tourism,
Business Development, Economic Development and Community Visioning activities were
mentioned in the report. Halvorson noted that
Monona Housing Needs Assessment Forum
would be held at 10:00 A.M., Wednesday, May
18th in the Community Center. Monona Hays
Legal Notice
Days event scheduled for June 17-18 was also
discussed.
15) Approve Pay Request No.1 to Eastern
Iowa Excavating for Phase II Sewer Improvements: Upon recommendation of Marc Ruden
of IIW, Inc., it was moved by Blietz, seconded
by Elledge, to approve pay request No.1
from Eastern Iowa Excavating in amount of
$89,206.19 for construction improvements
related to Phase II Sanitary Sewer Project.
Carried Unanimously.
16) Consider Street Light Request:
Request was previously made asking council
to consider placement of a street light in alley
between East Center and East Iowa Street. Alliant Energy would charge $8.71 per month for
installation of 80W LED Light on their existing
utility pole. The fee would cover the light and
pole rental. Related energy charge would be
.98 cents per month. Question was previously
asked if the city could purchase the lights and
brackets instead of renting, however, Alliant
indicated lights and brackets are rental only.
At conclusion of comments, it was moved
by Blietz, seconded by Elledge, to authorize
installation of street as proposed. Carried
Unanimously.
17) Approve Second Reading & Waive
Third Reading of Proposed Ordinance No.
380-16 Pertaining to Storm Water Management : After second review of proposed
ordinance, it was moved by Meyer, seconded
by Elledge, to approve Second Reading and
waive Third Reading of Ordinance No. 380-16
Pertaining to Storm Water by Adding a New
chapter 100 ~ Storm Water Management. Carried Unanimously.
Adopt Ordinance No. 380-16
Moved by Elledge, seconded by Meyer
to Adopt Ordinance No. 380-16 Pertaining to
Storm Water by Adding a New chapter 100
~ Storm Water Management. Roll Call Vote:
Ayes – Four. Nays – None. Ordinance was
adopted. Ordinance would be effective upon
publication in ‘The Outlook’.
18) Discuss Appointment to Monona
Planning & Zoning Commission: Administrator
stated there have been no applicants for vacant seat on the Planning & Zoning Commission. However, a question was recently asked
if one (1) individual could serve simultaneously
on the Monona Planning & Zoning Commission and the Monona Zoning Board of Adjustment. He further commented that the Planning
& Zoning Commission (P&Z) does not actually
make zoning decisions, they submit recommendations to the City Council and/or to the
Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA). The ZBA
does make decisions, most of which concern
zoning variances and conditional use permits
etc. It was also recognized that city administrator is also secretary of both the P&Z and the
ZBA although not a board member.
Opinion AGO 05-2-1 from the Iowa Attorney General Office (AGO) regarding Dual
Service on the P&Z and the ZBA states that
as long as precautions are taken to ensure
that the two (2) entities continue to operate
as separate entities, common membership
on the Planning & Zoning Commission and
Zoning Board of Adjustment does not violate
Iowa Code Chapter 414 and is not otherwise
prohibited by law.
At conclusion of questions and comments,
it was consensus of council to inquire as to
whether someone on the ZBA would be willing
to serve on the P&Z Commission as well.
19) Set FY2016 Budget Amendment Public
Hearing: Administrator distributed list of five (5)
expenditure functions (categories) that would
need to be amended as part of FY2015-2016
City Budget. Expenses related to Capital
Equipment, Public Works, Enterprise Funds,
Community and Economic Development and
General Government were identified.
Moved by Meyer, seconded Elledge, to set
Budget Amendment Hearing for Monday, May
16th at 6:00 P.M. and publish hearing notice
at appropriate date/time as required. Carried
Unanimously
Mayor/Council/Clerk Notes:
•Still waiting for ‘The Overland Group’ to
submit a site plan to the Planning & Zoning
Commission for proposed Dollar General Store in Lot 19 of Gordon Residential
Subdivision
•Murphy Helwig Library Grand Opening to be
held Wednesday, May 11, 2016 from 4:00
P.M. to 7:00 P.M.
•Administrator inquired as to whether city
council would consider selling old iron
castings left over from replacement of
sanitary sewer manhole structures as part
of Phase II Sewer Project. He indicated #2
iron salvage price was $80 per ton. It was
consensus of council to dispose of iron
castings at salvage price upon confirmation
with city engineer that city has that option
per construction contract
•1998 Monona Comprehensive Plan needs
to be updated.
There being no further business, Mayor
Collins declared meeting adjourned at 7:45
P.M. Next regular meeting would be held Monday, May 2, 2016 at 6:00 P.M. at city hall.

School Gym in Elkader. Moser
students ages 3-21 will be performing
a variety of Jazz, Hip Hop, Tap Dance,
and Gymnastic routines during the
60 minute show. The area students
have been studying with Moser's each
Wednesday, September thru May, at
the Elkader High School in Elkader.
The public is welcome to attend.

Our 8 seniors and our college
students are great role models for all
whom come in contact with them.
If they choose a different path next
season, we will miss their talent, their
dedication, and their willingness to
voluntarily perform and or compete
at all our various shows or meets
thru out our seasons showing their
progress. We will miss our very
talented dancers and gymnasts, but,
above all, we will miss our friends.
