Bath house project: The Council reviewed draft plans for the bathhouse project and
examined sketches of the building with gable roof or a hip roof. The Council decided to
proceed with a gable roof. The City Clerk/Administrator presented a timeline for grants
and a proposed timeline for bidding and construction.



2014 Water Carnival
Motion by Woltman, second by Huss, to approve the activities and street closures for the
2014 Water Carnival. Roll call vote: All ayes. Motion carried.

Wages & Salaries
The Council discussed wages for employees not covered under the collective bargaining
agreement. The employees requested that this issue be considered individually in closed
session.

Public Works Director Report
Lon Buse, Public Works Director, updated the Council on sanitary sewer cleaning, noting
that all of the town has been cleaned and they are currently working around the lake.
There are some areas that need to have root killer put down the sewers.

Lon also stated that the City is installing a 10 storm sewer on Lakeshore Drive which
will serve the intakes for the street. There are pre-existing six inch tiles which had served
the public intakes and into which the private drains from the neighbors now flow. Now
that the City has a dedicated storm sewer for the public intakes, the City Clerk/
Administrator was instructed to write a letter to the property owner stating that the City is
not responsible for the six inch tiles.

City Clerk/Administrator Report.
a. Emerald Ash Borer Cost Estimate: The Park Board had prepared a document
detailing the estimated cost of removing ash trees and replacing them with new
trees. The Council acknowledged receipt of the report and will consider this issue
in preparation for the FY 15-16 budget.
b. MISO Credit: The MISO is requiring that the City provide an audited balance
sheet or post an additional $30,000 deposit to retain credit with MISO. The City
can not easily provide the balance sheet as we use a cash basis of accounting. The
City Clerk/Administrator will continue to work with MISO to resolve this issue.
c. Bio-retention Cell: City staff prepared the bio-retention cell site in the island on
Horseshoe Drive last week and volunteers planted the plants last Saturday. This is
a water quality improvement project that will allow the storm water from the area
to enter the ground prior to entering Black Hawk Lake.

Closed Session
Motion by Cleveland, second by Reis, to enter closed session per Iowa Code 21.5.1.i.
Roll call vote: All ayes. Motion carried. The Council entered closed session at 8:01 p.m.

Motion by Woltman, second by Reis, to re-enter open session. Roll call vote: All ayes.
Motion carried. The Council re-entered open session at 8:53 p.m.

Wages & Salaries
Motion by Woltman, second by Steinkamp, to approve Resolution # 14-24: Resolution
Setting Salaries and Wages for Employees of the City of Lake View, Iowa, for the Fiscal
Year Ending, June 30, 2015. Roll call vote: All ayes. Motion carried.

Motion by Steinkamp, second by Cleveland, to adjourn. On vote: all ayes. Motion
carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:54 p.m.
