Volunteer Firefighter’s and SCRA Help Tornado Victims
Last Summer Riverdale’s volunteer fire department received a grant from Scott County Regional Authority to purchase 15 sets of new fire protection gear. Little did they know how far
those funds would travel to help people in need. The all-volunteer Riverdale firefighters regularly helps Scott County residents. Now the firefighters are traveling all the way to
Washington, Illinois to help the victims of the massive tornado that demolished thousands of homes.
When Fireman Brian Ballard first heard of the devastation, he immediately began organizing emergency personnel to help. Then the department heard that family members of Councilwoman
Cheryl Channon and fireman John Channon had lost their home to the tornado. Riverdale firefighters immediately offered to adopt the family and help with clean up. The family has 4 small
children and is staying with other family members this holiday season. Although their family needs are many, they were concerned about their neighbors. The Riverdale Firefighter Association
has also decided to adopt the immediate neighbors and to help with clean up.
There are many heart breaking stories of basic needs unmet. So the Riverdale Firefighter Association will be accepting monetary donations or gift cards until Dec. 14th. All of the funds
will go directly to the families who lost homes in the tornado. The firefighters plan to travel 105 miles to Washington, IL to distribute donations and assist with clean up. Checks
can be made out to Riverdale Firefighters Association (memo: Tornado) and mailed to 110 Manor Dr. Riverdale, Iowa, 52722. For more information contact Brian Ballard at Brianballard34@gmail.com

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Paddock presented an e-mail and a map that she received from Shive Hattery. The map depicted the tentative placement of the Mississippi River Trail (MRT) Phase II on Bellingham Rd. The
placement of the trail will be on the Alcoa side of Bellingham. Shive Hattery was asking permission to give the map to Alcoa and Canadian Pacific Railroad for their review. Alcoa will
donate the land along Bellingham Rd. for the trail. Alcoa asked that the new trail parking lot on Bellingham have a permeable surface and be paid for by Riverdale. Paddock moved to approve
Shive Hattery’s giving of the map to Alcoa and Canadian Pacific Railroad, seconded by Hupp. Roll call Vote: all ayes motion carried.
A new version of the Engineering Contract with Shive Hattery for the MRT Phase II was presented. This version of the contract contained a few minor changes, made by the Iowa Department
of Transportation (IDOT), and a slightly lower cost. Hupp moved to re-approve the contract and authorize Mayor Franklin to sign the contract, seconded by Channon. Roll call vote: all
ayes motion carried.
At the October 15, 2013 meeting council voted to approve the State Recreation Trails Grant and to decline The Federal Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) Grant. Paddock has since
learned that Riverdale can accept both Grants. Monies from the State Recreation Trails Grant would be use first. When the State grant is depleted, monies would be spent from the TAP
Grant. Any grant money not used would be returned. Paddock moved to accept the TAP grant and to reverse the city’s previous position of rejecting the TAP Grant, seconded by Littrel.
Roll call vote: all ayes motion carried. Paddock stated we may still be looking at letting the MRT Phase II Project in late May 2014.
Halsey presented a bid from Absolute Mud Jacking for the repair of the recreation trail near Van Gundy Park. Halsey moved to approve the bid from Absolute Mud Jacking for the repairs
in the amount of $1,000.00, seconded by Littrel. Roll call vote: all ayes motion carried.
Halsey stated he met with the Welch family to discuss the possibility of the City purchasing property adjacent to city hall. Hupp stated that she feels the City needs to form a committee
to explore the city’s need for additional land next to city hall. Hupp would like the committee to do fact finding, explore how much land the City needs, the cost, to talk with the Real
Estate Agent, and have a plan in place. If Riverdale were able to purchase the land, having a plan in place would allow the City to move quickly. Hupp moved to form a committee, consisting
of Eric Syverud, Jim Beran, and Dale Hupp, to gather information on the possible purchase of land adjacent to city hall, seconded by Littrel. Roll call vote: all ayes motion carried.
Halsey moved to purchase a memorial rock engraved “Peggy’s Park”, to be placed at Haven’s Acres Park in the amount of $315.00, seconded by Channon. Roll call vote: all ayes motion carried.

Mayor Franklin presented Resolution No. 2013-17. A Resolution Revising The Administrative And Maintenance Expenses Policy. This Resolution was a modification of Resolution No. 2008-37.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
City Clerk Paula McIntosh presented the Annual Report 2013 (AR13) to the Mayor and Council. There were some changes made after the AR13 was published. All beginning and ending balances
stayed the same. The corrections were moving the Capital Projects total in Public Works to Capital Projects page 10 and Capital Projects total from Culture and Recreation to Capital
Projects page 10. Channon moved to approve the Annual Report 2013 seconded by Littrel. Roll call vote: all ayes motion carried.
The city received two proposals for replacing the air conditioning unit for the city office. Littrel moved to hire Schebler Company for the air conditioner replacement not to exceed
$3,000.00 seconded by Paddock. Roll call vote: all ayes motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS:
Hupp moved to approve Alcohol Requests for December 7, 8, 12 and 14, 2013 seconded by Channon. Roll call vote: all ayes motion carried. Mayor Franklin will send our current contract
for use of the Community Room to Attorney Eric Long for review on what the city’s liability is when allowing alcohol for events that are scheduled in the room.
Paddock met with John Freitag from the Foundation of Fair Contracting (FFC). This is an organization that helps cities prepare ordinances that specifies what the city expects of a responsible
bidder. This will allow the city to differentiate between a responsible bidder and the lowest bidder. Paddock’s intent is to avoid situations similar to those experienced at the end
of the road reconstruction project. For example Riverdale did not specify a time frame in which warranty work needed to be completed. The sink hole in the Pelton yard was reported to
Hawkeye Paving in the spring and was not repaired until November. This was a huge inconvenience to the home owner and required several letters from the City Attorney to Hawkeye’s attorney
to accomplish warranty work. Paddock wants to make sure that Riverdale avoids these types of issues in the future. Paddock asked the council to review the sample ordinance for a future
meeting.
Paddock received a call from a homeowner stating there were 4 wheelers driving through an area near his home on land that is owned by Scott Community College (SCC) and Alcoa property.
There are also vehicles cutting through this area from SCC. Mayor Franklin will call SCC and Alcoa to make them aware of this. The Mayor and Council asks that if anyone sees this happening
to please get a license plate number and call the Sheriff’s Office.
The street sweepers D&S, tried to clean Riverdale’s streets and storm drains, but the leaves were a huge problem. Paddock asked D&S to stop until the city can address the leaf problem.
Mayor Franklin called Lawn Star and asked them to clean up the leaves as specified in their contract. Paddock wanted homeowners to understand that leaves block storm drains and that
leaves in the street in front of homes are the homeowner’s responsibility to clean up. Paddock stated that D&S could sweep the leaves but that would cost of $100.00 per hour and it would
take approximately 2 days. Paddock suggested creating a committee to organize an “Adopt A Drain” program or an “Adopt A Street” program. Other communities have done this with much success.
The city clerk received a call asking that Riverdale consider banning leave burning because some Riverdale residents suffer from breathing problems and leaf smoke makes breathing more
difficult for these people.
Two proposals were received from MSA for evaluating damaged storm water inlets. One proposal was for $1,300.00 and the second proposal was a more detailed evaluation in the amount of
$1,600.00. Both studies would provide the estimated cost of repairing each inlet and the best method of making the repair. Mayor Franklin explained that the $1600 evaluation would also
provide the information required to update the City’s map of the storm sewer system. Hupp stated this would give the city a better idea on how to budget for the repairs. Hupp moved to
approve MSA’s “Riverdale Intake Investigation and Evaluation” in the amount of $1,600.00 seconded by Channon. Roll call vote: all ayes motion carried.
Riverdale received a proposal from MSA to prepare a cost estimate for repairing Bellingham Road. McCarthy Improvement Company had previously suggested that damaged areas of the roadway
be removed and replaced and that an asphalt overlay be placed on the road surface. MSA would meet with McCarthy, collect information, determine the best way to proceed with Bellingham
Rd. and prepare a construction cost estimate. Hupp moved to approve the proposal with MSA for the “Bellingham Road Cost Estimate” in the amount of $1,000.00 seconded by Littrel. Roll
call vote: Channon – aye, Paddock – no, Hupp – aye, Littrel – aye. Motion carried.
The 2014/2015 Budget was discussed. Mayor Franklin talked about the 10% rollback of taxes for industrial, commercial and Railroad properties. This rollback is equivalent to a loss in
revenue of approximately $49,000 which is equivalent to 0.75 mils of property tax. Mayor Franklin posed concerns to City Council. 1. How will Riverdale cope with the 10% rollback or
commercial, industrial and railroad property tax. 2. With the completion of the road project and the startup of the Multi-use trail phase II project, how will Riverdale rebuild Capital
Reserves? 3. How will Riverdale cope if the valuation of all segments of Riverdale’s tax base declines?
COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE COUNCIL AND OTHER OFFICIALS:
Hupp mentioned when she was putting holiday lights up in the Gazebo at Volunteer Square Park she noticed that someone has put black tape over the photo sensor for Gazebo’s light and
that the light’s globe had been painted black.
The lights on the flag pole at Volunteer Square Park and the lights on the flag at city hall are not working.
Paddock reported that the Riverdale Fire Department will be going to Washington, Illinois on November 30, 2013 and December 14, 2013 to assist the tornado victims. Washington, Illinois
has a personal connection to Riverdale in that Councilwomen Channon’s niece’s house was destroyed. Riverdale’s Fire Department Volunteers have “adopted” the niece’s street and are asking
for monetary donations that are to be distributed among the families that live on the adopted street. Anyone interested in donating to this cause are asked to contact one of the Riverdale
Firemen and not the city.
Mayor Franklin thanked all the volunteers who help put up the holiday lights at city hall and Volunteer Square Park.
A resident called city hall expressing concerns about children playing in the streets. It is a safety issue. Riverdale has purchased and installed “children at play” signs to warn motorists.
The Mayor and Council ask parents not to allow their children to play in the street.
Channon moved to adjourn at 9:10 p.m. seconded by Littrel. Roll call vote: all ayes motion carried.
