organization.

lishing notices, and guidance on handling public inter-

Memorandum
To: City Council
From: Kelly A. Krell, Clerk
Date: July 19, 2023
Subject: Filling Council Vacancy
As you know, Kevin Adams resigned his Council position on July 11, 2023. The Council needs to
consider its approach for filling this vacancy. Under Iowa Law, the Council need s to initiate
action within 60 days. The choices are (1) appoint someone to fill the vacancy; or (2) call for a
special election to fill the seat.
If the council makes an appointment, that person would serve through the end of this year, with
the term ending on January 1, 2024, and the seat would be on the ballot in the November 2023
election, which also happens to be the same time the seat would normally be up for election.
This appointment could end up being shortened if the City called a special election on a
different issue prior to November 2023. In that case, the seat would also have to be on the
ballot. Also, citizens could theoretically petition for a special election if they do not agree with
the decision to appoint to fill the vacancy at this time. In order to appoint the position, the City
would need to publish a notice in the newspaper and then vote at a future meeting to
determine the person to be appointed to the position.
If the Council calls for a special election, or a petition forces it, this will present several thousands
of dollars in cost to the City. The City would be required to hold a special election no later than
Tuesday, October 3, 2023.
Appointing to fill the vacancy is the most common route. In the meeting packet, I have provided
the information necessary to move forward with appointing to fill the vacancy, but the Council
could certainly choose to call for a special election if that is preferred. It's my opinion that the
Council operates best when all seats are filled, and it's in our best interest to proceed with due
speed to fill the vacancy.
City of Riverdale, Iowa
110 Manor Drive, Riverdale, Iowa 52722 (563) 355-2511 www.riverdaleia.org
If you choose to proceed with appointing to fill the vacancy, I suggest the following schedule:
July 25, 2023 Council approves Resolution Providing Notice of Intent to Fill Council
Vacancy by Appointment
July 25, 2023 Council approves Expression of Interest in City Council form
July 26, 2023 City advertises vacancy in the Quad City Times, www.riverdaleia.org, and
Facebook
August 4, 2023 Clerk publishes Notice of Intent to Fill Vacancy by Appointment in the
Quad City Times, www.riverdaleia.org, and Facebook
August 14, 2023 Deadline for expressions of interest
August 22, 2023 Council approves Resolution Appointing to Fill Vacancy
Theoretically, if interested candidates have already been identified, we could restructure this
process to consider appointment at the August 8, 2023, meeting, but I believe the schedule I've
presented above gives interested parties time to consider and gives the public more than
adequate notice of the Council's intent.
Attached is an expression of interest form for your review. I look forward to discussing this with
you in the Council meeting on July 25, 2023.
Sincerely,
Kelly A. Krell, M.Ed., Clerk

Re: Riverdale, Iowa
2023 General Obligation Corporate Purpose Note
Dear Kelly:
I am writing to explain our role as Bond Counsel for the City’s proposed General
Obligation Corporate Purpose Note (the “Note”) to pay the costs, to that extent, of constructing
sanitary sewer and storm water drainage improvements. It is our understanding that the
borrowing will be in the approximate principal amount of $200,000, and that a local bank will be
chosen to serve as lender on this local bank private placement.
As Bond Counsel, it is our responsibility to provide legal representation to the City with
respect to the authorization of the issuance of the Note. In serving as Bond Counsel, we will
prepare appropriate resolutions, notices, agreements and closing certificates, consult with the
lender, and undertake such additional duties as we deem necessary to help the City through this
transaction. At closing of the Note issue, assuming the proper conditions are in place, we will
deliver our opinion that: (1) the Note is a valid and binding general obligation of the City; and
(2) the interest paid on the Note will be excluded from gross income for federal income tax
purposes.
In performing our services as Bond Counsel, our sole client in this matter will be the City
of Riverdale. We will not represent any other party in this financing and it is mutually
understood that the services to be provided by us as described herein are solely for the benefit of
the City.
Based upon: (i) our current understanding of the terms, structure, size and schedule of
the financing, (ii) the duties we will undertake, (iii) the time we anticipate devoting to the
project, and (iv) the responsibilities we assume, we estimate that our fees and expenses for
serving as Bond Counsel will be $4,000. We typically bill for our services after closing of the
Note issue, but we reserve the right to bill for the value of our time invested in the representation
if closing has not occurred by November 1, 2023.
After this arrangement is approved on behalf of the City, please have this letter executed
in the space below and email an executed copy to lemke.susan@dorsey.com. If you have
questions, please call me.

We look forward to working with you. Thank you for the opportunity to serve.
Best regards,
John P. Danos

July 10 – July 21, 2023
Accessory Buildings/Garages/Sheds: I have spent the majority of my time going through our ordinances,
comparing information with residents and other cities, and creating a checklist for accessory buildings. P&Z
has a meeting on July 27th to discuss this.
Cleaning up Accounts Payable: I am still correcting some things in Accounts Payable with duplicate vendors,
duplicate invoices, etc. This will be completed soon.
Election Materials: I have reviewed and familiarized myself with the election material.
Normal/ Other Tasks: Accounts payable/cutting checks, assisting residents with any needs they bring to my
attention, room rentals, working on the newsletter, disassembling council packets after the meeting, and other

Some of my upcoming goals: I will be working on my first meeting packet when I do the packet for P&Z’s
July 27th meeting. I will also be at this meeting and in charge of the minutes. It will be a great first run on that
process as it isn’t as large as a full council packet.

FIELD REPORT
Date: July 18, 2023
Job #: 10876094
Project: Intake at Fieldcrest Road and Circle Drive
Location: City of Riverdale
Contractor: N/A
Owner: City of Riverdale
Weather: Sunny
Temp.: 83 Degrees F
Time: 3:15 PM — 4:15 PM
Present at Site: N/A
MSA investigated the possibility of a broken pipe or a leaking joint at this location to determine if
either one of those issues could be causing the slow subsidence of earth in the area.
MSA determined that there is a hole in the concrete joint where the storm sewer from an intake
has a blind junction with the storm sewer along Fieldcrest. Staining on the sewer pipe wall
indicates the leak has been occurring for an extended period of time.

RECOMMENDATION:
FIELD REPORT
1. MSA recommends that the hole be plugged utilizing hydraulic cement as the most cost-
effective means of preventing future inflow of water. Prior to plugging the hole, the hole
should be widened and cleaned as much as possible using a hand tool and a spray bottle
of water. Hydraulic cement should be forced into the hole and verification should be made
that the hydraulic cement has good contact around the perimeter of its opening.
