Purpose of the joint meeting was to discuss the Aquatic Center , Recreation Trail and Safe Routes to School.

Jake, President of the Aquatic Center Board gave  the Aquatic Center report.:  Board members present were Les Koch and Noel Duffy. They had a good staff this last summer.  Weather was a big factor on the attendance for the year.  Cold weather kept it closed more this year than other years.  Slide issue on the cracking has been around since the center was built.  Estimate to repair is at $24,000.  Valves that were put in the water were not waterproof.  Have tired to talk to the contractor and the Engineer, but have gotten no where.  Not worth it to sue, so are slowing replacing them as needed.  The big grate will cost $7000 to replace.  Sensors in the bathroom are going out, again they were not water proof.  Ragbrai monies they received for renting out the showers was used to paint the bottom of the pool.  Budget for this next year will be $71,200 from each city.

Jake along with Mark McFate, board members, gave a report on the Recreation Trail.  Recreation Trail Board members present were Amy Ridout, Pat & Tim Downs and Roger Benda.  Duane Upah and Stu Eisentrager have done a lot of the work on the trail from the cities.  There is a web site on this trail.  They have 5 locations they did landscaping with money they received from a $5000 grant.  Having trouble with ATV using the trial.  Have signs posted, but Councilmen Zimmerman said they had posted signs to not ride on the dike south of Tama and they are riding on that all the time.  Have asked for the police to check at different times. They have completed 5.9 miles of trail from around Cherry Lake north along Deer Creek and ending at Dolezals in Toledo .  They have put in four trash cans, two on Tama portion and two on Toledo portion would like to have the cities keep them empty.  Also have installed Bat Houses along the trail to keep down on the mosquitoes.  Home Federal Bank has donated a bench for the trail, State Bank of Toledo Will be donating one. 

Matt Johnson and Dave Stoklasa from Snyder & Associates were there to give an update on the study done for the Safe Routes to School.  Donna Sampson from Region 6 and Cindy Brinney from Art ala Carte were also there on the Safe Routes.  The City of Tama Received a $50,000 grant to do this study on the Safe Routes to school for the Elementary School in Tama and Middle School in Toledo .  Their main concern was crossing of Highway 63.    They identified sidewalks and signage and discovered there was a lack of sidewalks.  There was a study done in 2002, but no one is sure who had it done and what happened to the results.  Brinney talked about the marketing and public relations her company was doing to promote this venture.  Already have T-Shirts to sell, have planned a fundraiser at the grade school in February 2010.  March will be a sign up of parents to do a save walk.  Hoping the Recreation Program in the summer will be urging the kids to walk or ride bicycles.  Then they will pursue phase2 of this project, which will be using walking trail.

Meeting was adjourned at 7:15 P.M.

JULY 06, 2009

 MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL

FOR TOLEDO , IOWA, HELD AT THE REINIG CENTER AT 5:00 P.M.

Mayor Wood was present and presided.  Council present were Chaska, Wilson, Ferris and Zmolek, Pansegrau was  absent.  Others present were Joann Husak, Pat and Kent Campbell, Joe Boll, Dave Stoklasa, Upah, Brownfield and Burk.

 Joanna handed out the June report for the Reinig Center .  Gospel meetings were questioned by the council.  Will leave as is at this time.

 Pat Campbell’s report was they will  be cleaning the carpet in spots as needed, instead of trying to do the whole building at one time.  Budweiser Company will be paid as they deliver the kegs.  They do not do open billing, you either pay as delivered or have money in an account they can withdraw as they want.  Will do the check as they deliver.

 I-Jobs:  Stoklasa explained about project applications.  The one the City of Toledo would be most likely to receive would be to build a new Public Works Building.  The city would be eligible to receive up to 75% of the cost.  Question was asked if “In Kind” could be part of the 25% the city would have to furnish, this will be looked into.  You are not required to proceed with the project even if it has been awarded.  Moved by Zmolek seconded by Wilson to have Stoklasa do the letter of intent that must be in by July 14, 2009.  Then the application is due by August 3, 2009. 

 Joe Boll:  Joe would like to have the City of Toledo sign a contract with the Bureau of Indian Affairs for fire protection on the settlement.  This means that Joe Boll and Kendall Jordan must be city employees.  This has been done in the past, except everything was done through the City of Tama .  If the City of Toledo signs the contract with the BIA, then the Toledo Fire Department gets to keep the money and it also than makes them eligible to receive vehicles from the federal government.  Moved by Chaska seconded by Wilson to hire Joe Boll and Kendall Jordan for $1.00 annually.  Ayes.  Carried.

Moved by Wilson seconded by Zmolek to authorize Mayor to sign the contract with the BIA.  Ayes.  Carried.

 Ground breaking for the new sewer plant will be July 25, 2009 at 9:00 A.M.  This will be at the end of Prospect Drive where the project sign is installed.  Will invite Donna Princehouse and Bill Christensen.  They were on the  council when this started.

 Moved by Zmolek seconded by Wilson to adjourn meeting.   Meeting was adjourned at 5:45 P.M.
