RIVERDALE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
April 5, 2016
Mayor Paddock opened a regular session of the Riverdale City Council at 7:00 p.m. on April 5, 2016. All stood for the
Pledge of Allegiance.
Roll Call:
Present: Channon, Hupp, Seaberg, Littrel and Halsey. Also present Riverdale Fire Chief Floyd Bruns, Jared Fluhr from
MSA and Patrick Lynch from Shive Hattery.
Agenda:
Mayor Paddock stated Brandon Nelson listed under Presentations would not be at the meeting and third bullet under New
Business would be removed from the agenda. Channon moved to approve the agenda with those changes seconded by
Seaberg. All ayes motion carried.
Presentations:
• Patrick Lynch from Shive Hattery attended the meeting to explain Changer Order No. 4 for the MRT Phase II
project. Channon found a small error in the cost of the Change Order. Patrick stated he would go over the
numbers to make sure all was correct and suggested we approve the Change Order pending a review of the
numbers.
• Jared Fluhr from MSA attended the meeting to inform the Council Eric Schallert has left MSA. Jared stated he
will still be doing all the NPDES Permitting for Riverdale. Dennis Keitel will be stepping in for Eric for other
Riverdale projects with Jared being more of a presence in those projects as well. Jared stated Dennis Keitel has
many years experience and will be a good fit for Riverdale. Mayor and Council stated Eric Schallert will be
missed and thanked him for all the exemplary work he has done for Riverdale.
Minutes March 16, 2016:
Littrel made a correction to the March 16, 2016 minutes. On page 3 third bullet it stated “Littrel is creating a Pop -Up Park
in front of the Alcoa Learning Center.” It should have read “at the side parking lot of the Alcoa Learning Center.” Littrel
moved to approve the March 16, 2016 minutes with that correction seconded by Channon. Channon – aye, Hupp –
abstain, Seaberg – abstain, Littrel – aye, Halsey – aye, motion carried.
Warrants:
Mayor Paddock stated there was a difference in the amount of the invoice and the check paid to JKM concrete for snow
removal due to a mailbox that needs to be repaired. The mailbox was hit by the snowplow in December 2015 and still not
repaired. This is an agenda item under New Business. Hupp moved to approve the warrants with that deduction seconded
by Halsey. All ayes motion carried.
Stormwater Pollution Solutions
Pet Waste
Pet waste can be a major source of
bacteria and excess nutrients in local
waters. When walking your pet,
remember to pick up the waste and
dispose of it properly. Flushing pet waste
is the best disposal method. Leaving pet
waste on the ground increases public
health risks by allowing harmful bacteria
and nutrients to wash into the storm drain
and eventually into local waterbodies.
Avenue of Flags
Recently Riverdale had an inquiry from a new resident as to who
was putting up the flags during several holidays. The Flag
program is a subscription service of the Davenport Noon
Optimist. All monies earned from the flag program is given to
local youth serving organizations. The annual subscription rate is
$40. For more information call 563-324-0061 or visit their
website at www.davenportnoonoptimists.com
Coyote Trapping is Over
One 50 pound coyote was captured during the hunt.
All traps have been removed.
