WATER/WASTEWATER COMMITTEE

COMMITTEE MEETING

SEPTEMBER 8, 2020

The Forest City Water/Wastewater Committee met on September 8, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Present were

council members Denny Zehren and Win Pehrson (via virtual meeting); City Administrator Barb Smith;

Forest City Economic Development Director Beth Bilyeu; Water/Wastewater Superintendent Kevin Reicks;

and Lou Wehrspann with WHKS. Mayor Ruiter arrived at approximately 11:09.

The Nerem Industrial Park Utility Installation Project was discussed. Wehrspann noted that it will be an

8” water main and an 8” sewer main. Bilyeu asked for verification that an 8” watermain would be

enough flow for fire suppression for any industry that will build at Nerem Industrial Park. Wehrspann

stated that an 8” watermain will take care of all fire suppression at the park. Wehrspann then noted

that the sewer main will be buried 10’ in the ground and the watermain would be 6’ underground. He

suggested that since the sewer main is buried so low, that the City add a sewer service for each lot to

avoid the property owner from needing to dig so deep. The estimated additional cost for the sewer

service connections is $4,200.

Total project cost is estimated to be around $120,000.

Smith asked that the pay requested be broken down between water and sewer for proper payments

from each department.

The meeting adjourned at 11:19 am.

ELECTRIC COMMITTEE

revenue as well as the TIF revenue as repayment to the electric department. There was also discussion

about where the grant funds would come from in the electric utility.

It was decided to invite the developer to speak with the committee and share the proposed business

plan prior to the committee making and recommendation to the council.

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING

MAY 5, 2020

The Board of Adjustment of the City of Forest City, Iowa, met on September 8, 2020, at 12:00 pm. Board Chair, Tim Fredrickson, called the meeting to order at 12:00 pm. Present were Jim Braun (via virtual meeting), John Hill, Marcia Tweeten (via virtual meeting), Dick Tweeten, Brian Current, June Lackore, City Attorney Steve Bakke, City Administrator Barb Smith, and Andrew and Heidi Fedders, property owners at 445 W J Street. Assistant City Attorney Sarah Keeley arrived at approximately 12:03 pm. Fedders explained the need for the larger garage. The proposed garage will be 1,120 square feet and have 8’ sidewalls constructed on a row of block to allow for better drainage of the garage. After much discussion, Current motioned to approve the 1,120 square foot garage; seconded by D. Tweeten. Ayes all; motion carried. Assistant City Attorney Keeley will take care of the legal recording of the variance. Smith explained the need for the changes to the building permits and the board of adjustment fees. Smith stated that building permit fees have not been raised in nearly 20 years and it costs the city more than the $25 to approve the permit. She also explained that it costs the city over $400 in attorney fees plus recording fees to hold a board of adjustment hearing, so our tax payers are carrying most of the burden for a board of adjustment hearing. Lacore motioned to recommend to the City Council to increase building permit fee for the first permit for a project to $35, the second permit for the same project to $50, and the 3rd permit for the same project to $100 and must be approved by the City Council; seconded by M Tweeten. Ayes all; motion carried. D Tweeten motioned to recommend to the City Council to increase the board of adjustment fee to $230. This will be half of the cost to the city to hold the hearing plus a portion of the recording fees for the variance; seconded by Current. Ayes all; motion carried. M Tweeten motioned recommending to the City Council to add the following language to the building permit instructions: “Denial of Permit: A permit may be denied due to any nuisance violation or unresolved violations of any ordinance, past due utility bill, past due invoices, or delinquent special assessments to the property.”; seconded by Current. Ayes all; motion carried. Smith will add the recommendations to the council agenda on September 21, 2020. Noting no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 12:38 p.m. ATTEST: ____________________________________ __________________________________ Barbara Smith, City Administrator/Clerk Tim Fredrickson, Chairman

Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes

September 9, 2020

The Forest City Planning and Zoning Commission met on September 9, 2020 in the Council Chambers at

City Hall. The meeting was called to order at 5:00 pm. Present were Commission members Jim Benson,

Jan Faulkner, Lee Lambert, Dan Meyer, Doug Yeager, Kathy Rollefson and Lowell Solberg; Mayor Byron

Ruiter; Forest City Economic Development Director Beth Bilyeu; City Administrator Barb Smith; City

Attorney Steve Bakke; and Assistant City Attorney Sarah Keely. Steve Pickar arrived at approximately 5:02

pm.

Bakke explained that the platting of Nerem Industrial Park 2nd Sub-Division is considered a minor sub-

division as there are no streets to be constructed in the sub-division; therefore the City was not required

to approve a preliminary plat and went directly to final plat for approval.

Bakke also noted that there will be a 30’ utility easement running north and south between the lots (15’

on each property) and a 20’ utility easement running east and west (10’ on each property). The City will

install water and sewer main from the south end of the property to the middle of the four lots.

It was noted that North Iowa Community College will be construction their Career Education Center on

Lot 2 (the NE lot) and the Forest City Veterinary Clinic will be constructing a new facility on Lot 3 (the SW

lot).

After all questions were answered, Rollefson motioned to recommend approval of the plat to the City

Council; seconded by Lambert. Ayes all; motion carried.

The resolution for the final plat approval will be on the council agenda on September 21, 2020.

There being no other business to discuss, the meeting adjourned at 5:22 pm.

Trick-or-Treating During COVID-19

Recommendations from Winnebago County Public Health & Emergency Management

WINNEBAGO COUNTY – Like most events and holidays that have taken place amid the COVID-19

pandemic, Halloween may look different this year.

"Because kids trick or treat outside many parents may be more inclined to let their children go door to

door," said Allison Rice, RN/Clinical Manager for Winnebago County Public Health. "But, given the

nature of the virus, parents are likely wondering what additional safety measures they should take."

Winnebago County Public Health and Emergency Management are providing these recommendations:

For those passing out treats

• Turn on your front yard/house light so trick-or-treaters know they are welcome;

• Wear a face covering (highly encouraged);

• Distribute treats FROM the home TO the visitor. Do not allow trick-or-treaters to pick through

the assortment or bowl to get their own treat(s);

• Have individually wrapped treats to distribute;

• Sanitize hands between visits from groups, if possible;

• Consider sitting outside to distribute candy. You can set up chairs and a table with your treats

and sanitizer.

For trick-or-treaters (and those accompanying them)

• Sanitize your hands frequently;

• Avoid touching your face, mouth, eyes or nose;

• Groups are encouraged to maintain 6-feet of separation from other groups or individuals.

"Halloween can remain to be fun for children without looking that much different," Rice said.
