McD/ Moved by Larson. seronded by Ambr, 10 adoplthe resolution,
Discussion.
Larson/ My only question aboutthls, I am prelly Ignorant aboul riprap
and pier prolecllon and peer scour. Is thero a way 10 mako sure Ihalln Iho
speclrlcallons in all of this that wo oncourage Innovallvo ways to deal
wllh the problem thaI won'l cost near Ihls amounl of money, I can'l
vlsuullle why It cost so much money 10 do this, I understand we are
Irying to divertlhe currenllO keep Ihe bridge from gelling damGge.
Denny Gannon/ What has happened over the years is Iho rlver's current has
eroded Ihe bollom of Ihe river and It had elposed Ihe plies. What we
are doing Is prolectingthem wllh rlprap from the elposed plies on the
peers.
Larson/ II is the materials of the labor thaI cost so much mone~'.
Gannon/ The rlprap is qulle high,
Larson/ Rlprap Is rock?
Gannon/ Rock, that Is right. Largo pieces of slone,
Larson/ And II is high because it Is a lot of II or because we haw: 10 mine II.
Are we pUlling marble down there or what.
Gannon/ There Is a 101 of rock plus Ills going to be dirrlcultlO Qel II there.
Thoy havo to build an access road in clly park and thon a loading
facilllY like a ramp,
Larson/ II is preventive malnlenance? If we dldn'l do lhls it would damage
the bridge to where we would have to pay more later.
Gannon/ Yes, Evenlually It could gel a large log 01' Ice lhal could knock the
bridge rlghl down,
Larson/ Whatt am hopeful most of all Is thai we bo very aggressive about
soliciting bids and we gel enough people bidding in Ihal we maybe gel
somo compellt!on becauso IlluSl seems lIke an awfulamounl of
monoy 10 do lhis. "hank you.
Nov.! Whal are Ihe aClual malerials Ihal we arc prolecting, What arc the
piers made of,
Gannon/ When you drlvo oUllhere mOSl generally you will see a concrele.a
rectangular piece of concrete. Thai Is ellended down below lhe waler
line about ono COOl nine Inches. Then bolow Ihal Is sleel plies lhat are
eltended down to rock, Those plies aro now elposed roughly four
Ceol. Ills ossonllally liko loothplcks lhal aro elposed, Another way
thalt would like to doscrlbo Is Is like roolS In your leolh If your gums
havo recoded. That Is whal you'vo got.
1I0row/ Is thero more lhan one way of doing lhls In your estlmallon, Or Is
lhls lhe cheapesl way.
Gannon/ Yes,

I lasted over Ihe cenlury.
t
I Gannon/ You could coffer dam around each pier and lake alllhe waler oul
I
I and Ihen dig down Ihrough Ihe rock and pour concrele alllhe way
down 10 Ihe rock, Thai was esllmaled roughly al $200,000 a pier and
Ihen Ihe olher melhod Is basically a new bridge, ,
,
IIorow/ Which way lasls longes\. ,
Gannon/ Nalurally we Ihlnk Ihls is Ihe melhod we Ihlnk is going 10 lasllhe
longesl and be mosl coSI crfeclive,
IIorow/ And rlprap, even alonglhe banks.lhe hydraulics are dlfferenlln a

Gannon/I am nOI saying II Is nOI going 10 SIlly Ihere over lime, Down Ihe .'

Ihe coslls 0101 less Ihan Ihe olher opllon.
IIorow/ls Ihls Ihe same Ihlnglhal Cedar Rapids docs wllh Ihelr river island.
Gannon/I don'l know.
IIorow/ This Is one of Ihose slluallllns where I hope Ihal we are jusl nol
I Irylng 10 go for Ihe cheapes\. Because over a long period of lime,
unless you replaco Ihe bridge again.
I Aikins/ IIow old Is Ihe bridge. ,
Gannon/1959-1960. I
IIorow/ Whal's II'S life, ,I
Aikins/is II somelhlng Ihallhlrly years from now we would likely face I
again,
Gannon/ Qulle possibly.
Aikins/ 1101.' many piers,
Gannon/ Five.
Aikins/ So wo spend 180 now or a million now.
I Larson/lie knows a whole lot more aboullllhan I do,
IIorow/I'm questioning whelher or nOI cllY council's are pUShed Inlo Ihe I
cheapest way 10 go. For my money over lime, Ihalls quesllonable, I.
I
Larson/ lie says Ills Ihe besl way 10 go, rlgh\.

bowlathon Is Saturday althe C.olonlal Lanes rrom noon.6pm. This Is

Slslerl, So Ihow up. or make a pledge.
~ubby/l have two things. One wa! a memo from the city manager about
resolullons and proclamations. I wsnled 10 tnow within the noli
couple of Informal meetings If that was going 10 be on our agenda to
discuss,
McDI Which memo,
~ubbyl The one that we are gelling a lot of proclamallons and resolutions
that lire controversial and some coundlmembers feel they are
appropriate for council to prOClaim things about and others don't feel
that wa}'.
McDI We can schedule that.
~ubby/l would like that to happen soon because I think more or those
might be coming In,
McDI That Is on our pending list.
Kubbyl The last couple of times Anna Wagner has come In and has asked for
som;; response from us and we haven't given her any. Even Is the
answer Is we can't do anything for you, I feel like we owe her some
kind of official response because she came before us In our official
capacity and since Ron Is here maybe we can ask him to respond In
some way, And Ihnt she gave us some definitions of family and the
possibility that a single person could be a family and why she can't get
a voucher or cerllflcale. Even if the answer Is our hands are tied, IIUD
rules as such and such, I would like us to respond 10 here In some
way because I feel she came to us and deserves an official response.
It might help her understand Ihe situation of what our boundaries are.
MeDII guess that Is fine. I agree with you that if anyene requests an
answer. But I guess I wasn'l cerlaln R couple of dlrferenttlmes lust
elactly what Anna was aSking for.

Kubbyl She also called m~lIgllln,loo. and saId I wanllO know can I have a
voucher or nOland why nOI.
McDI Something like that, yes, I think that.
Kubbyl Maybe we can assume Ihat Ihatls the question because Ihal is as
blunt as she put It to me, I also reminded her. Ihallhe affordable
housing lask Force does have It on their list of things 10 research, That
didn't seem 10 be enough for her speCific question right now.
Lanon/l don't have any problem with staff responding to Ihat specific
question. I do remember answering her on bolh occasions Ihat we
have decided 10 put off a specific actions on housing relaled mailers
for Ihe moment until after Ihe lask force makes Its recommendations.
I understand thaI dldn't necessarily sallsfy her. I think a speclrtc
answer to Ihat quesllon Is called for.
McDI Something like Ihatls fine,

ngure Ihat illhese come 10 my house unsoliclled Ihree limes alleasla
year, Ihey are probably going 10 every laI payer in lown. This mUSI
be thousands of copies, When thoy lire finished, everybody Is
probably throwing Ihem aVo'ay. The ,'olume Ihat goes to the landrlllls
roolish even If we re\lUke we could alford 10 prlnllhese all or Ihe
time. Even Ir we dldn'l go ahead and prlnllhem, rellUke we could
errord to prlntlhem, what are we doing. pUlling Ihem on clay coaled,
heavy colored paper. The hardesl possible Ihlng 10 recycle, So Ihal il
a c1lllen wanled 10 recycle Ihese Ihlngs and wanled 10 go 10 Ihe
bolher.lhcy couldn't recycle Ihe covers anyway. They would have 10
tear oullhe staples, The glossy paper Ihey would have 10 nnd a
special placo, Ihey couldn'l mil II In wllh Iho nowsprinllo recycle. All
and all, 11 seems the clly Is crealing problems ror IIself on each end.
Tho cOSI or producllon and Ihe coslS or elimination, From the
sculllebulll hm about Ihe landnll, Including rrom people who work
oUllhere, we can III arrord to be pUlling things In Ihe land rill If Ihere
Is anyway 10 prevenlll. The Unlv, Is Irylng to prevent anymore
glossy paper publications by Ihe Unlv. I think the cllY could very woll
rollow Ihallead and quit producing anYlhlng glossy. tr Ihere Is
anyway at all 10 let the public know Ihatlhls program has been pUI
forward and that It Is available for perusal In a IImlled addition, like
allhe library or rec. center or a few other places in town ralhcr than
mailing them 10 every household in town. \l seems 10 me that It lust
makes sense, This Is plain bulk rate postage paid, Admllledly, bulk
rale Is smaller but It means there Is a malllng costin addlllon 10
everything elso. Malllng rales lust wont up, \l seems to me Ir Ihere
was anYWIlY to SIlVO money this would be one of the ways to do It.
And to look around atlhe rest or tho paper production thatlhe City
has. When 1 was serving on the Airport Comm., Ihe amounts or pllper
thai wentlhru or hands were phenomenal, terrible. When you look at
what happens, 1 bet you do 100, You get a packet that Is this big every
week, Is that really necessary, That Is aliI have to say.
Courtneyl This is nOlthe first commel\ls 1 have heard on tho glOSSY
catalogues coming out from Parks and Rec. 1 think the Commission
ought to lako nole or Ihat.
Alklnsl Tho Issue has already been brought up,
