John has been part of the Riverdale Fire Department for 35 plus years. His Uncle was a Davenport Fireman for many years. It seems that firefighting runs in the family.
John and Cheryl married in 1972. John moved his family to Riverdale in 1978. They have 2 children and 4 grandchildren. The entire family loves the outdoors and loves to fish. John spends
many hours of his free time Fly Fishing, tying all the flies he and the family use. One of John's hobbies is wood carving, John also enjoys working in his yard, camping, and lots of
time “tinkering” in his garage on his many projects.
John worked for Petroleum Service while in high school and after graduating from high school. John worked as a pipefitter for Caterpillar from 1974 -1988. The Caterpillar plant in Davenport
closed in 1988. John then worked on the Arsenal for 13 months as a general mechanic. John then went to work for Alcoa in 1990 and retired in 2013 after 23 1/2 years.
John always has a huge smile on his face! If a friend or neighbor needs help with something, John is always there to lend a hand. For many years John was responsible for putting up,
taking down, and replacing signs for Riverdale. John was always on hand to help set up and set off fireworks for the Riverdale 4th of July Celebration with many of the Riverdale Fire
Department Volunteers. Sometimes John was only available to help set up the fireworks because he was working 2nd shift, but you could always depend on John to be there as well as most
of the Riverdale Firemen.
If you have the chance to help your community you should. It gives you a chance to meet many new people and be part of a great community like Riverdale.
ADDRESSING CONCERNS ABOUT THE URBAN RENEWAL PLAN AND TIF
Riverdale has recently been in the news regarding the City Council’s decision to create an Urban Renewal Area, an Urban Renewal Plan, and a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district. There
has been a great deal of misleading information communicated, so I would like to provide you with some facts about the City’s plan.
An urban renewal area is a geographic area defined by the urban renewal plan. The urban renewal plan describes projects that the city is proposing to address as needed in the future.
The law currently limits the collection of tax increment to 20 years for urban renewal areas based on economic development, such as the one adopted by the City of Riverdale. This plan
is available on the City’s website (RiverdaleIA.org) and copies are available at the clerk’s office.
TIF authorizes the County Auditor to freeze the current tax base at the assessed value of the calendar year prior to the year TIF debt is certified. (In Riverdale’s case 2013) This will
continue to provide revenue to all taxing authorities at the 2013 tax base. Any increased valuation or growth that occurs within the designated TIF area, above the 2013 frozen tax base,
could be redirected to the City to be used for TIF projects, depending on the amount of urban renewal project debt certified by the City. Certain tax levies are exempt from TIF; Debt
Service levies, regular and voter-approved Plant and Equipment Levies (PPEL) and the Instructional Support Levy (ISL) for K-12 school districts.
The incremental funds captured from the TIF district are proposed be used for public infrastructure that promotes economic development (streets, sewers, sidewalks, etc.), and other economic
development projects as outlined in the City’s plan.
One of the activities in Riverdale’s urban renewal plan is the road re-construction of Bellingham and Fenno Road. These roads promote economic development because they provide a good
infrastructure to keep the current business from moving to other locations and they are a commercial thoroughfare. The projected costs of these road construction projects are estimated
at approximately 2 million dollars. TIF funds will help offset the substantial costs of this infrastructure project.
You may have heard that Riverdale’s TIF project will hurt the school. First PPEL, ISL and each affected taxing entity’s Debt Service Levy are exempt from TIF. Tax payers pay a 5.40 uniform
levy and the state funds up to a certain level set by the school aid formula. So if the $5.40 uniform levy is lowered, the state picks up more, up to that set level. Also, 42.5 % of
resident’s property tax dollars went to Pleasant Valley School District, while 35.81% was distributed to the City of Riverdale.
You may have also heard that the plan includes an expansion of the Fire Department. While this was addressed in the scope of the projects, there are no immediate plans for an expansion.
This was primarily included to address future needs or Federal or State mandates for emergency services in our community over the next 20 years. The urban renewal plan adopted by the
City is merely a planning document which attempts to address all possible future uses of TIF. The City is not bound to use TIF for this project, if and when it occurs, and will always
evaluate all financing options at the time the project is proposed.
The bottom line is that Riverdale has special circumstances. We have 15 to 20 thousand people who come to Riverdale in a given day and use the roads, parks, EMS and Fire Department.
The 150 homes and 19 businesses of Riverdale should not be asked to bear this tax burden alone since the City expects all taxing authorities to benefit from having quality infrastructure
which is necessary to generate increased employment and a solid economic base. The alternative is to shift the burden of the costs to our residents by raising taxes. The City Council
and your Mayor believe that TIF is the best way to address these special circumstances.

RIVERDALE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES/PUBLIC HEARING
NOVEMBER 4, 2014
Mayor Paddock opened the Public Hearing concerning the Proposed Revisions to the Commercial District “C” Portion Of Riverdale’s Zoning Map And Proposed Revisions To The Zoning Ordinance

to 3 minutes, seconded by Littrel. All ayes motion carried. Richard Wells questioned what all the Public Hearing involved and what the agenda item “Discussion And Possible Action Of
Additional Planning And Zoning Recommendations” meant. Mayor Paddock explained Planning & Zoning (P&Z) recommended changes per the City Attorney’s request and council would be looking
at those changes before the first reading of the Zoning Ordinance. Steve Townsend noted the Zoning Ordinance said Circle Rd. and it should be Circle Dr. Mr. Townsend stated he approved
of the change to allow 6’ fences. Linda Veit asked why the changes were being made to the Zoning Ordinance. Mayor Paddock stated there were errors such as typos, mentioning zoning numbers
that did not exist, wrong language such as Zoning Commissioner instead of Zoning Inspector and changes to fence height, garage door heights as applicable by law and changes to allow
the Board of Adjustment to approve a variance for handicap needs. Harry Pelton asked for clarification of “C1” and “C2”. Mayor Paddock explained the difference and stated the only “C1”
area affected was a Scott Community College parcel. All other “C” was changed to “C2. These are available for review in the Clerk’s office and on the web site (riverdaleia.org). Jim
Beran stated the present Zoning Map is outdated as well as the Ordinance that speaks of sheds and garages. Mr. Beran stated we need to update the Parking Lot Ordinance due to laws on
handicap parking.

NEW BUSINESS:
Eric Schallert from MSA prepared a summary, recommendations and cost for repairs of locations he investigated for Riverdale. A water valve pit at Bicentennial Park, large and small sink
holes in Volunteer Square Park, small intake in the yard on north side of Fenno Road and street settlement north of Fenno Road on Fenno Dr. near the manhole. For the yard intake on Fenno
Rd. Eric recommended removal of the small intake and plugging the pipe. Pipe removal could be done by Riverdale maintenance. MSA would have to do a dye test before the removal of the
pipe and would cost less than $250.00. If that pipe were connected to the sanitary sewer, the whole line would have to come out per NPDES regulations. The dye test would give results
on how to proceed. Halsey moved to hire MSA to perform the dye test, seconded by Seaberg. All ayes motion carried.
Riverdale City Council discussed possible alternate snow removal plans. Our snow removal contractor will meet with Bettendorf maintenance to train on loading salt with Bettendorf
equipment. Riverdale maintenance man George Miller will meet with Bettendorf to train as well.
Seaberg moved to approve Dean and Judy Hiles to create the Riverdale 2015 Calendar. Thanks to the Hiles for volunteering their time to do the Riverdale calendars.

NOVEMBER 18, 2014
Mayor Paddock opened the Public Hearing at 7:00 p.m. on November 18, 2014 To Consider Approval Of A Proposed State Street Renewal Plan For A Proposed Urban Renewal Area. Mayor Paddock

Teri Stickler, Dale Hupp, Mark Brenny, Gloria deS Gierke, Don Paddock, and Mr. VanderWuesteen from the Quad Cities Chamber. Seaberg moved to limit each guest 3 minutes to speak due to
the number of people in attendance. Mayor Paddock stated the comments would be taken into consideration as the Council moved into regular session. James Spelhaug, Administrator of the
Pleasant Valley School District spoke about the negative impact the Urban Renewal Plan (URP) would have on the school district. Mr. Spelhaug stated the URP would force the school district
to raise taxes or cut programs. Residents Ms. Welvaert, and Ms. Flaherty stated the URP would take away educational opportunities and financing for their children’s education. John Riches
from Alcoa stated that Alcoa is opposed to the URP/ TIF. Mr. Riches feels that Riverdale is getting bad advice and should not be looking for a windfall. Mr. Riches is disappointed to
see Riverdale going down this path. Dale Hupp spoke in favor of the URP. Mr. Hupp stated that Riverdale has lost revenue over the last few years. Riverdale needs to look for alternate
ways to create revenue to repair roads and other infrastructure that everyone benefits from. Lou Wren dislikes TIF and believes it is the wrong approach. Norma Wren is against the TIF
as well. Mrs. Wren stated there are too many shifts in how things are paid. Gloria deS Gierke stated that everything has been very vague. Ms. Gierke asked what Riverdale was paying MSA
for. Mr. VanderWuesteen from the Quad City Chamber stated the Chamber is opposition of Riverdale’s intended use of TIF. Mr. VanderWuesteen stated Riverdale was going to cause action
in Des Moines at the Capital due to misuse of TIF funds. The Quad City Chamber is in favor of TIF when used correctly. Tom Mack thanked the Mayor and the Council for all the hard work
they do. Mr. Mack is opposed to TIF and agrees with Mr. VanderWuesteen. Mr. Mack stated we should not use TIF for existing buildings and existing residential property. Don Paddock spoke
in favor of the URP and TIF. Mr. Paddock stated that Riverdale is landlocked, but still has to provide infrastructure for Riverdale. Riverdale does not receive dollars back for providing
services. Mark Brenny thanked the Mayor and Council for all of their hard work. Mr. Brenny stated that he does not think anyone is going to suffer from the TIF. Mr. Brenny is in support
of the decisions the Mayor and Council make concerning the URP and TIF.

Urban Renewal Projects; And Adopting The State Street Urban Renewal Plan. Mayor Paddock explained that facts are not being reported correctly. The 2013 tax base is frozen. The only thing
that benefits Riverdale is the new taxing on new or expanding businesses. Riverdale does not have the funds to pay for the infrastructure that is needed and benefits everyone, not just
Riverdale residents. Hupp explained Riverdale City Council is doing everything they can to keep taxes low. The City has looked at Bonding, Grant Opportunities, raising taxes and TIF
as ways to build roads and other infrastructure that are needed. The Council feels the URP/TIF is the least burdensome for the taxpayers of Riverdale. Mayor Paddock wants to encourage
Economic Development in Riverdale. Hupp moved to approve Resolution No. 2014-21 Resolution Determining An Area Of The City To Be An Economic Development Area, And That The Rehabilitation,
