The recycled shingles are used in asphalt. She went on to explain a grant opportunity the Waste Commission is offering to Cities. Each City will be eligible for $2,500.00 in Grant money.
The grant money can be used in many different ways, such as a portion helping pay the costs for the Cities fall and spring clean-ups. Ms. Morris said the City will be receiving the grant
application soon. The Mayor and Council thanked her for updating us on what the Waste Commission is doing.
Jim Beran approached the Council with some concerns. The Eminent Domain process, the Storm Sewer project, and the road projects that Council has been discussing.
Richard Wells approached the Council with concerns. He asked about the City purchasing land, the Flood Plain Ordinance, road issues, the status of the phone box and Mediacom issues,
and the upcoming budget issues.
Harry Pelton asked if there was a good time to schedule volunteers to take the Holiday Lights down. Hupp stated that we should maybe wait until the weather was a little warmer. She told
Mr. Pelton to just call her and she would help make phone calls and organize the volunteers. Mr. Pelton also stated that he would like more information on the Storm Water issue and asked
if he could talk with Attorney Reier at some time. Attorney Reier stated that there will be a Public Hearing at some point and that will be a good time for discussion. Mr. Pelton asked
if the council had calculated what the difference would be on the different ways to repair the roads. What will be the best approach and how to surface them.

Attorney Reier stated that the issues concerning the Roadway Replacement Plan, Fire truck Replacement, and Large Capital Project Plan will be addressed at a future meeting. She has been

such flood hazard areas and all areas shown thereon to be within the boundaries of the 100-year flood shall be considered as having significant flood hazards. Where uncertainty exists
with respect to the precise location of the 100-year flood boundary, the location shall be determined on the basis of the 100-year flood elevation at the particular site in question.
The Flood Insurance Study for the County of Scott County, dated February 18, 2011, is hereby adopted by reference and is made a part of this ordinance for the purpose of administering
floodplain management regulations.
Amendment Two. Section III A. 4(a) shall be deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefore:
Fully enclosed areas below the “lowest floor” that are used solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage in an area other than a basement and which is subject to flooding
shall be designed to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by allowing the entry and exit of floodwaters. Designs for meeting this requirement must either
be certified by a registered professional engineer or meet or exceed the following minimum criteria:
A minimum of two openings having a total net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding shall be provided.
The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade.
Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, valves, or other coverings or devices provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters.
Amendment Three. Section III A. 10. shall be deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefore:
Subdivisions (including factory-built home parks and subdivisions) shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood damages and shall have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure
to flood damage. Development associated with subdivision proposals (including the installation of public utilities) shall meet the applicable performance standards of this Ordinance.
Subdivision proposals intended for residential use shall provide all lots with a means of access which will be passable by wheeled vehicles during the 100-year flood. Proposals for subdivisions
