Vendors were required to submit questions and clarifications regarding the Request for Proposal by noon on August 13, 2019 and submit their proposals by 2:30 p.m. on August 20, 2019. The City received a proposal from the following vendors: LLC Farms, Phillip Prybil Farms and Hodges Farms and Dredging. Proposals were distributed to an Evaluation Committee, which consisted of representatives from the Wastewater Division. The Evaluation Committee individually reviewed each proposal and its compliance with the specifications. Background /Analysis: Over the course of this 3 -year contract, we expect to expend approximately $160,000, based on anticipated usage. Funds for this purchase are available in the hauling line item in the Wastewater Division operating budget under 72720122-445090. The evaluation committee looked at pricing, customer satisfaction, references, qualifications and capacity to perform the work, proposed procedures, experience, and also responsiveness to the request for proposal. One of the main reasons the evaluation committee selected LCL Farms was based on the positive feedback that was received when talking with their references, their quality equipment and fair prices. After a complete evaluation of all of the submitted proposals, the Evaluation Committee recommends LCL Farms receive the contract award for Loading, Transport and Land Application of Dewatered Biosolids as they had the best overall proposal.

Obi—�� ZZ I Zo 19 EXHIBIT A SPLICING, TESTING AND ACCEPTANCE STANDARDS for Single Mode Fiber 1. All splices will be performed with an industry -accepted fusion splicing machine as per CITY splicing specifications. 2. Splices will be qualified during the initial construction by the core alignment system on the fusion splicer. 3. After end-to-end (site -to -site) connectivity on the fibers, the installing contractor will complete bi-directional span testing. These measurements will be made after all cable installation activities are complete for each span. Connectors will be cleaned as necessary to ensure accurate measurements are taken. • Installed loss measurements at 1550nm will be recorded using an industry accepted laser source and power meter. Continuity testing (checking for "frogging") will be done on all fibers concurrently. • OTDR traces will betaken at 1550nm and splice loss measurements will be analyzed. Bell Core format will be used on all traces, unless both parties agree to another OTDR format. • All testing, power levels and OTDR traces will be conducted at 1550nm. • Installing Agency will pay for the testing at the 1550 level. • OTDR traces shall be saved in a standard file naming convention. One set of OTDR traces will be provided to each the CITY and the (Interested Party) via electronic format. 4. The splicing standards are as follows • The objective loss value of the connector and its associated splice will be 0.50 dB or less. • The objective for each Fiber within a span shall be an average bi-directional loss of 0.15 dB or less for each splice. For example, if a given span has 10 splices, each Fiber shall have a total bi- directional loss (due to the 10 splices) of 1.5 dB or less. Individual bi-directional loss values for each splice will be reviewed for high losses. • The aforementioned standards are objectives, not the basis for acceptance. The acceptance standard for each Fiber per span shall be calculated as follows: Span Loss = a (span distance in kilometers) + b (0.15 dB/splice) + c (0.50 db/connector) Where: a = maximum fiber loss in dB per kilometer for the specific fiber type/manufacturer at 1550nm b = number of splice locations for the span c = number of connectors for the span 5. All connector splices will be protected with heat shrinks. Buffer tubes/ribbons will not be split across more than one splice tray. An industry accepted splice enclosure will be used on all splices. FIBER STANDARDS NOTE: Single mode fiber shall meet the SMF -28 standard. If the fiber to be used is existing fiber, previously installed prior to 1996, the CITY will require the manufacture date of the fiber to ensure compatibility with the balance of the associated fiber and installation equipment. NOTE: As stated in 3.3.1, as a general practice, the Designated Fiber optic cable shall be buried versus aerial, unless determined by mutual agreement of the parties, to be more economically feasible for short sections; i.e. rock area.

Trouble Reporting and Resolution. The CITY shall provide for the following trouble reporting and resolution procedures: 2.1 The CITY Network is monitored 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, for real-time status and alarm conditions. The CITY network operations and maintenance are applicable to all services delivered by the CITY. The CITY Service Desk is the point of contact for trouble reporting. Following are service standards relative to operations and management of the network: 2.1.1 Network Surveillance. The CITY shall observe, monitor, analyze and report on all operations of the CITY Network. The CITY will identify network failures, troubles or degradation of service on the CITY fiber that is in use by the CITY. The CITY will notify the UPN point(s) of contact of CITY network failures, troubles or degradation of service that will impact UPN. When the CITY Network experiences failures, troubles, or equipment degradation the CITY will locate the failure and dispatch technicians. 2.1.1.1 Trouble Ticketing and Escalation Follow-up. Trouble tickets are opened within 10 minutes of any trouble reported by UPN, staff, or vendors. Troubles generated by network surveillance are opened within 20 minutes on major alarms or daily thresholds. 2.1.1.2 All network outages (i.e. fiber cuts) and platform outages (i.e. video platform, internet and firewall) will follow current CITY Standard Procedures for escalation and resolution. 2.2 Scheduled Maintenance Activities. Unless expressly stated elsewhere in this Agreement, all Parties whose network traffic may be impaired or affected during the scheduled maintenance will be notified 3 business days before a routine scheduled maintenance window will take place. In the event that an "Emergency Maintenance Window" is required, the CITY will give UPN as much advanced notice as possible.

CITY OF IOWA CITY `�� COUNCIL ACTION REPORT November 4, 2019 Resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Housing Trust Fund of Johnson County for the contribution and use of $200,000 for Low Income Housing Tax Credit projects. Prepared By: Erika Kubly, Neighborhood Services Coordinator Reviewed By: Tracy Hightshoe, Neighborhood & Development Services Director Fiscal Impact: $200,000 is budgeted in the Affordable Housing Fund for this purpose Recommendations: Staff: Approval Commission: Recommended by the Housing and Community Development Commission on September 19, 2019. Attachments: Resolution Memorandum of Understanding Executive Summary: City Council will consider adoption of a resolution to authorize the City Manager to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Housing Trust Fund of Johnson County for $200,000 for affordable housing at their November 4, 2019 meeting. Background /Analysis: For FY20 the Council allocated $1,000,000 to the Affordable Housing Fund. 20% of this amount, or $200,000, is set-aside to support Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LI HTC) projects. These funds have previously been allocated through the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) and City Council. This summer, staff recommended that these funds be allocated to the Housing Trust Fund of Johnson County (HTFJC) directly beginning in FY20. The HTFJC board members are highly experienced in housing finance and the review of complex projects. As such, they are in a unique position to leverage outside funding and attract private partnerships that can extend the impact of the City's dollars. At their August 6, 2019 work session, City Council requested that HCDC review staff's recommendation. HCDC recommended that the City allocate LIHTC funds to HTFJC on September 19, 2019, however they discussed their desire to use funds for projects that serve households at the lowest levels of income. Preference for viable projects with the most units at the highest levels of affordability has been added to the project criteria outlined in the memorandum of understanding. Funding must also be used to support units for households at or below 60% of the area median income, and projects must comply with the Affordable Housing Location Model. The HTFJC must provide annual reports to the city outlining progress and occupancy information for awarded projects. Should the Iowa Finance Authority change how their Qualified Allocation Plan scores projects, the City would re-evaluate if the HTFJC or the City allocates these funds. If it is more advantageous to a project to directly receive funds from the City, the City would revert to its prior practice of HCDC review and Council approval. At their August 6, 2019 work session, the Council also approved removing the Housing Trust Fund of Johnson County from the Aid to Agency annual funding cycle and allowing them a 5% administrative fee on funds allocated to them through the Affordable Housing Fund. Up to $10,000 of the LI HTC funds may be used for administrative expenses. Upon execution of the memorandum of understanding (see attached), the Housing Trust Fund of Johnson County (HTFJC) will be allocated $200,000. Funds will be transferred following the award of a LI HTC project by the Iowa Finance Authority.

Pursuant to section 15-2-2A-4 of City Code, the requirement for a preliminary plat was waived. ANALYSIS - Zoning: The subject property is zoned Low Density Single -Family Residential (RS -5). The subdivision includes two single-family lots, which meet the dimensional requirements of the RS -5 zone. The minimum lot frontage in the RS -5 zone is 45 feet and the proposed lots exceed that minimum requirement, with frontages of 79.9 and 70 feet. The proposed lot sizes are 13,462 square feet and 10,470 square feet, which exceed the minimum lot size requirement of 8,000 square feet. Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property, prior to subdivision, contains 23,932 square feet. The addition of another single-family home onto the current lot area is in compliance with the comprehensive plan's desired density of 2-8 dwelling units per acre. Subdivision Design: The proposed subdivision would split the existing 23,932 square -foot lot into two lots. The existing home at 249 Magowan Avenue would be located on a 13,462 square -foot lot. The new lot would be 10,470 square -foot acres in size. Both lots would meet the City's required dimensional standards for an RS -5 zone. A new house on the smaller, 10,470 square -foot lot would need to meet applicable setback, bulk, and lot coverage requirements. Any development on the new lot would be required to meet driveway spacing standards. Per section 15-3-3B of the City Code, the existing sidewalk along 249 Magowan Avenue must be extended to the southern property line of the newly platted lot. Traffic Implications: Staff does not believe the proposed subdivision will produce any negative traffic implications. Neighborhood Open Space: The applicant is required to dedicate 0.003 acres of open space or 3 pay a fee -in -lieu of $360. In this instance, staff would view payment of fee -in -lieu as appropriate. Utilities: As the planned development would be an infill development, the subject area is adequately serviced by City utilities. NEXT STEPS: Upon approval of the proposed final plat, the applicant will be able to apply for a building permit. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of SUB19-10, the final plat of Manville Seven Addition Subdivision, a 2 -lot subdivision on 13,932 square feet of land located at 249 Magowan Avenue, subject to approval of legal papers by the City Attorney.

One of the code changes adopted in response to this legislation was a rental permit cap that restricted rental permits to 30% in certain neighborhoods for single-family and duplexes. Earlier this year, the State legislature passed another bill that prohibited cities from adopting rental permit caps. Due to concerns related to the City's inability to regulate rental permit caps and the potential impacts to preserving neighborhood stability, the City Council adopted a ten-month rental permit moratorium in May 2019. The moratorium was adopted to give the City time to study and address how best to mitigate the consequences of this legislation. Table 1 outlines a timeline of the State bills and associated City code amendments. TABLE 1. Timeline April, 2017 State legislature passes a bill prohibiting cities from enforcing any regulations that limits occupancy of rental property based on the existence of familial relationships April, 2018 City adopts neighborhood stabilization ordinance that made many changes to the zoning code, including, but not limited to: • Updated rear setback requirements to discourage inappropriate expansions in certain zones • Limited the number of bedrooms in attached single-family and duplexes to 4 • Updated the private open space requirements City moves to annual inspections for many rental properties and increases nuisance and property maintenance enforcement. City adopts an ordinance that capped rental permits at 30% in certain neighborhoods for single-family and duplexes April, 2019 State legislature passes a bill prohibiting cities from adopting or enforcing rental permit caps October 9, 2019 Page 2 May, 2019 City adopts a ten-month rental permit cap moratorium until March 7, 2020 on the issuance of new rental permits for single-family and duplex units in areas that exceed the 30% rental cap Ensuring that city neighborhoods include a variety of housing choices and options for all residents has been a challenge, particularly in the core of the community, which is dominated by student housing. With the changes in State law, which limit local control, the City is once again exploring options to ensure City codes promote safe, healthy, and stable residential neighborhoods. While adopting the moratorium back in May of 2019, the City Council articulated the following goals for any new regulations: 1. Ensure single-family detached structures and duplexes provide healthy and safe living environments for all occupants. 2. Maintain neighborhood characteristics and housing options suitable for attracting a diverse demographic in the city's older single-family neighborhoods. 3. Prevent the overburdening of city infrastructure and operational resources. Since the adoption of the moratorium, city staff has twice met with representatives of the Greater Iowa City Landlord Association and the Iowa City Area Association of Realtors. Staff also met with representatives of the Neighborhood Council and heard input from that group on the current state of their respective neighborhoods. Proposed Code Amendment Without the ability to regulate occupancy or enforce rental permit caps, City staff spent the past few months exploring other ways to address concerns related to neighborhood stabilization. Due to the comprehensive nature of the April 2018 zoning code amendments and the additional resources for nuisance and property maintenance enforcement, staff is only proposing one change to the zoning code related to paving in front of single-family homes and duplexes. The zoning code currently allows parking in front setback areas with certain restrictions. Table 2 outlines the current and proposed regulations. TABLE 2. Current v. Proposed Regulations regarding Parking and Paving in the Front Setback Area for Single-family and Duplex Uses Current Proposed Parking spaces allowed in front setback area, as Parking spaces allowed in front setback area, as long as it leads directly to a parking space and at long as it leads directly to a parking space and at least 50% of the front setback area remains open least 50% of the front setback area remains open space. space. NEW: Additional paved areas shall be separated by at least 9 feet of open space area from conforming parking spaces or aisles. October 9, 2019 Page 3 Currently, the code allows additional paving for patio and seating areas, basketball courts, grilling areas, and other uses to be contiguous with conforming parking spaces within the front setback area. The proposed code amendment would no longer allow additional paving to be contiguous with conforming parking spaces. The 9 -foot separation distance between the parking spaces and the additional paving will reduce the instances where the additional paved area is used as parking. Staff selected 9 -feet for the separation distance — the minimum width of a parking space — to discourage parking within the open space area. Figure 1 is an example of additional paving installed by a property owner to provide tenants with a grill and seating area. Instead, the space is used for parking. These are the types of improvements that would no longer be permissible under the proposed text amendment. FIGURE 1. ,,n�i Y F� Staff believes the additional restriction on front -yard paving will help address the second and third goals that the City Council endorsed in May of 2019. In addition to the zoning code amendment, staff will be proposing an amendment to Title 17, Chapter 5: Housing Code to require all rental units to test for radon and mitigate, if necessary. This amendment targets the first goal of the City Council and also dovetails with the City's ongoing healthy homes initiative and protects renters from a known health hazard that is prevalent in our community. Next Steps Pending recommendation of approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council will hold a public hearing on the proposed amendment. The City Council will also consider the proposed amendment to the Housing Code, which does not require Planning and Zoning Commission review. October 9, 2019 Page 4 Pending adoption of the zoning and housing code amendments, the City Council will also consider lifting the rental permit moratorium. Staff hopes that the City Council can remove the moratorium earlier than expected, perhaps by January 1, 2020. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the following proposed text amendment to 14 -2A -6C to restrict additional paving in the front setback area of single-family and duplex uses.

INCITY OE IOWA CITY www.icgov.org November 4, 2019 Motion setting a public hearing for November 19, 2019 on an ordinance amending Title 14, Zoning Code related to the Riverfront Crossings affordable housing requirements. ATTACHMENTS: Description PZ Staff Report wAttachments CITY OF IOWA CITY CITY OF IOWA CITY MEMORANDUM UNESCO CITY OF LITERATl1RE Date: October 17, 2019 To: Planning and Zoning Commission From: Anne Russett, Senior Planner Re: Amendment to Title 14, Zoning of the Iowa City Code Related to the Riverfront Crossings Affordable Housing Requirements (ZCA19-02) Background In 2016, the City amended the Riverfront Crossings code to include an affordable housing requirement that requires development containing 10 or more dwelling units on land zoned Riverfront Crossings to provide affordable housing dwelling units in an amount equal to or greater than 10% of the total number of dwelling units. The units must be affordable for a term of no less than 10 years. Developers have the option to provide these affordable units on-site, off-site, pay a fee in -lieu of providing the dwelling units, or contributing land. The code also defines affordable rental housing and income eligible households. After implementing the affordable housing requirement for the past few years, staff has identified the following issues with these definitions: 1. The definition of affordable rental housing excludes housing that has received Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) through the Iowa Finance Authority. Currently, these units do not meet the definition of affordable rental housing. 2. The definition of income eligible households does not cap non -retirement assets. Without a cap a household with substantial assets, but a low annual income could qualify for an affordable housing unit. Proposed Code Amendment Staff is proposing to amend the definitions of affordable rental housing and income eligible households in 14-2G-8, as follows: AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING: Housing that is rented for no more than the HUD fair market rent for the Iowa City, Iowa, HUD metro FMR area, as adjusted annually, and rented to an income eligible household or housing that has received Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) through the Iowa Finance Authority and meets the LIHTC rent limits for Johnson County, as adjusted annually, and rented to an income eligible household. INCOME ELIGIBLE HOUSEHOLD: A household is an income eligible household for purposes of purchasing an owner occupied affordable housing dwelling unit if that household has an annual income equal to or less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the area median income (AMI) for Iowa City, as adjusted annually. A household is an income eligible household for leasing affordable rental housing if that household has an annual income equal to or less than sixty percent (60%) of the AMI for Iowa City, as October 9, 2019 Page 2 adjusted annually. Households with greater than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) in non -retirement assets are not eligible for affordable housing units. These amendments will ensure that projects that receive Low -Income Housing Tax Credits will count toward a project's affordable housing obligation, and that households most in need of affordable housing will receive that housing. Next Steps Pending recommendation of approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council will hold a public hearing on the proposed amendment. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the following proposed text amendments to 14-2G-8, regarding the Riverfront Crossings affordable housing requirements. Attachments: 1. Draft Text Amendment Approved by: Danielle Sitzman, AICP, Development Services Coordinator Department of Neighborhood and Development Services 14-2G-8: AFFORDABLE HOUSING REQUIREMENT: B.

A household is an income eligible household for leasing affordable rental housing if that household has an annual income equal to or less than sixty percent (60%) of the AMI for Iowa City, as adjusted annually. Households with greater than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) in non -retirement assets are not eligible for affordable housing units. OWNER OCCUPIED AFFORDABLE HOUSING: Housing that is sold at a price no greater than the most current published housing and urban development (HUD) homeownership sale price limit for existing and new homes to an income eligible household. C. General Requirements: Affordable Housing Requirement: Except for developments providing affordable housing pursuant to a development agreement with the city executed prior to June 6, 2016, and except for developments exclusively providing elder apartment housing, any development containing ten (10) or more dwelling units on land zoned a riverfront crossings zoning designation is required to provide affordable housing dwelling units in an amount equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the total number of dwelling units. Should ten percent (10%) of the total number of dwelling units result in a fractional number, this fraction shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number for any fraction over fifty percent (50%) to establish the required number of affordable housing dwelling units. Any exempt elder apartment housing developments shall be subject to periodic inspection to ensure compliance with the zoning code regulations of this title of such use. 2. Methods Of Achieving Affordability: The affordable housing requirement may be satisfied through the provision of one or more of the following methods: a. On site owner occupied affordable housing; b. On site affordable rental housing; c. A fee in lieu contribution to an affordable housing fund; d. Off site affordable housing; and/or e. Contribution of land. If the owner desires to utilize methods in subsection C2d or C2e of this section, the owner must establish that methods in subsections C2a, C2b, and C2c of this section cannot feasibly be satisfied, as reasonably determined by the city. Affordable Housing Agreement: Upon rezoning to a riverfront crossings zoning designation, the property owner shall enter into an affordable housing agreement with the city establishing which method or methods it will utilize. This agreement must be executed prior to the close of the public hearing on the rezoning ordinance. Upon application for a building permit to construct any development for which affordable housing is required, the property owner shall enter into an agreement with the city detailing how it will satisfy the obligations of this code, which shall include details of the programming and development requirements if applicable. The city manager is hereby given the authority to execute such an agreement, which shall be recorded in the records of the Johnson County, Iowa recorder's office at owner's expense. 4. Term Of Affordability: The affordable housing dwelling units shall remain so for no less than ten (10) years from the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the dwelling unit and recording of the deed restriction described below. 5.

Deed Restriction: A deed restriction documenting the affordable housing requirements, selected method of achieving affordability, term, applicable resale restrictions, and applicable occupancy and rental restrictions shall be placed upon the owner occupied affordable housing dwelling unit or, in the case of the affordable rental housing, shall be placed upon the land being developed contemporaneously with the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. This deed restriction shall be recorded with the Johnson County, Iowa recorder and referenced in any deed conveying title of any such unit or land during the term of affordability. This deed restriction shall automatically upon the expiration of the term of affordability. The city manager is hereby authorized to issue any release of this deed restriction, as may be necessary and appropriate, in a form approved by the city attorney. 7. Parking: Affordable housing dwelling units shall be exempt from providing the parking spaces otherwise required by the zoning code. D. Owner Occupied Affordable Housing: Owner occupied affordable housing must satisfy the general requirements set forth in subsection C of this section and the following requirements: 1. Development Requirements: a. Dwelling Unit Types: The affordable housing dwelling units shall be comprised of the same mix of dwelling unit types in proportion to the market rate dwelling units within the development. b. Dwelling Unit Size And Quality: The affordable housing dwelling unit size shall be at least eighty percent (80%) of the floor area for the market rate dwelling units of the same type, and shall be of similar quality, or as approved by the city manager or designee. c. Location: The affordable housing dwelling units shall be distributed throughout the development to achieve integration and avoid concentration or segregation of the affordable housing dwelling units, unless a different distribution will result in the provision of additional affordable housing dwelling units than that which is required by this code, as approved by the city manager or designee. d. Timing Of Construction: The affordable housing dwelling units shall be constructed and issued a certificate of occupancy concurrently with or prior to the market rate dwelling units in the development. 2. Program Requirements: a. Occupancy: An affordable housing dwelling unit shall, at all times during the term of affordability, be occupied by an income eligible household as the household's primary residence. b. Income Verification: The annual household income shall be determined according to the HUD part 5, section 8 regulations on annual income codified in 24 CFR 5.609, as amended, and verified by the city prior to close of the sale. c. Rental Restriction: An owner occupied affordable housing unit may not be rented, except an owner may rent or lease a bedroom in the unit. d. Sale Restrictions: In addition to the deed restrictions required above, all required owner occupied affordable housing dwelling units shall be subject to the following sale restrictions during the term of affordability, compliance with which shall be verified by the city manager, or designee, prior to closing on the sale. (1) Approved Purchasers: A seller of an affordable dwelling unit must sell the unit only to an income eligible household. (2) Sale Price: The sale price of any affordable housing dwelling unit shall not exceed the purchase price paid by the original income eligible household purchaser or the HUD homeownership sale price limit, whichever is greater, with the following exceptions: (A) Closing Costs: Customary closing costs and costs of sale. (B) Real Estate Commissions: Costs of real estate commissions paid by the seller to a licensed real estate agent. (C) Permanent Capital Improvements: Reasonable value added to the dwelling unit due to permanent capital improvements installed within the unit by the seller pursuant to a properly issued building permit. (D) Special Fees: The seller of an affordable dwelling unit shall not levy or charge any additional fees or any finder's fee nor demand any other monetary consideration other than provided in this chapter. E. Affordable Rental Housing: Affordable rental housing must satisfy the general requirements set forth in subsection C of this section and the following requirements: 1. Development Requirements: a. Affordable rental units shall be provided in accordance with the development requirements for owner occupied affordable housing set forth in subsection D1 of this section. b. If a tenant initially deemed an income eligible household for purposes of occupying an affordable housing dwelling unit pursuant to this chapter, but is subsequently deemed no longer income eligible upon annual examination of household income, that tenant's unit shall not be considered an affordable housing dwelling unit and the rent can be adjusted to market rate. To maintain compliance with the affordable housing requirement, the next available rental unit in the project of comparable size or larger must be rented to an income eligible household. To that end, the affordable rental units need not be specifically designated in a fixed location, but may be floating throughout the development. 2. Program Requirements: a. Rental Rate: The monthly rental rate shall be either: L nNo more than the fair market rents as published by HUD for the Iowa City, Iowa, HUD metro FMR area, as adjusted annually; or (2)- No more than the LIHTC rent limits for Johnson County, as adjusted annually, for projects that have been awarded LIHTC through the Iowa Finance Authority. b. Occupancy: Affordable rental units must be rented to income eligible households. c. Income Verification: The landlord shall annually verify to the city that the affordable rental housing units are occupied by income eligible households. Prior to the commencement of a lease, the landlord shall determine a potential tenant's annual household income according to the HUD part 5, section 8, regulations on annual income codified in 24 CFR 5.609, as amended. Upon extension or renewal of a lease, the landlord may determine a tenant's annual household income based upon federal income tax returns for all adults in the household. d. Owner Verification Of Compliance: The owner must annually verify to the city that it is in compliance with these program requirements, and provide any documentation as deemed necessary by the city to determine compliance, which may include examination of the documents used to verify tenant income. Any violation of this requirement may result in immediate suspension of any rental permit issued for the applicable unit. Fee In Lieu Contribution: In lieu of providing affordable housing dwelling units, an owner may contribute a fee to a riverfront crossings district affordable housing fund to be established by the city. The contribution per dwelling unit shall be determined biennially by resolution of the city council based upon a formula that analyzes the difference between renting a market rate unit for the term of affordability and renting a dwelling unit affordable to an income qualified household. The fund shall be utilized solely for affordable housing purposes, which may include administration costs, in the riverfront crossings district. G. Transfer Of Affordable Dwelling Units Off Site: Upon the owner establishing that the affordable housing requirements cannot be satisfied on site, as reasonably determined by the city, it may be satisfied by designating off site existing or newly constructed dwelling units in the riverfront crossings district as affordable housing dwelling units. Any transferred affordable housing units shall in no way waive or reduce any obligation to provide affordable housing units within the development to which the obligation is transferred. In addition to satisfying the general requirements set forth in subsection C of this section, these units must satisfy the following requirements: 1. Development Requirements: a. Provision Of Units: Off site affordable dwelling units, whether they are owner occupied or rental units, shall be provided in accordance with the development requirements for owner occupied affordable housing set forth in subsection D1 of this section. The city reserves the right to deny a request to transfer affordable housing units to a particular development if it would result in an undue concentration of affordable housing units within that development. b. Timing: Where the affordable housing requirement is to be met through the provision of newly constructed dwelling units, such units shall be constructed and pass final inspection no later than the date the occupancy permit is issued for the development creating the need for the affordable housing, unless otherwise agreed upon by the city manager, or designee. Where the affordable housing requirement is to be met through the provision of existing off site dwelling units, they shall be established as affordable housing dwelling units prior to issuance of any occupancy permit for the development creating the need for the affordable housing. The marketing of the affordable housing dwelling units should occur no later than one year after the first market rate dwelling unit in the site that generated the requirement passes final inspection, unless otherwise agreed upon by the city manager. The affordable housing agreement pursuant to subsection C3 of this section shall be recorded prior to issuance of a building permit for the development creating the need for the affordable housing. 2. Programming Requirements: a. Where the off site affordable dwelling units are to be owner occupied affordable housing, those units shall comply with the programming requirements for owner occupied affordable housing set forth in subsection D2 of this section. b. Where the off site affordable dwelling units are to be affordable rental housing, they shall comply with the programming requirements for affordable rental housing set forth in subsection E2 of this section. H. Land Dedication: Upon the owner establishing that the affordable housing requirements cannot be satisfied on site, as reasonably determined by the city, it may be satisfied by the dedication of land to the city of Iowa City or an entity designated by the city of Iowa City for construction of affordable dwelling units in accordance with the provisions of this section, upon consideration of the following factors: 1. Location: The land shall be located in the riverfront crossings district, in an area appropriate for residential redevelopment, as determined by the city; 2. Number Of Affordable Units: The total dwelling units possible on the land shall be equal to or greater than the number of required affordable housing dwelling units; 3.

Land Value: The value of land to be dedicated shall be determined, at the cost of the developer, by an independent appraiser, who shall be selected from a list of certified appraisers provided by the city, or by such alternative means of valuation to which a developer and the city agree; and 5. Right To Refuse: The city reserves the right to refuse dedication of land in satisfaction of the affordable housing requirement if it determines, in its sole discretion, that such a dedication is not in the best interests of the public for any reason, including a determination that the city is not likely to construct or administer an affordable housing development project in a timely manner due to the unavailability of funds or other resources. Additionally, where the value of the land proposed to be dedicated is less than the value of the fee in lieu contribution established in accordance with the provisions above, the city reserves the right to require an owner to contribute a fee making up this difference in values. I. Administrative Rules: The city manager or designee is hereby authorized to establish administrative rules deemed necessary not inconsistent with any ordinance adopted by the city council in order to assure that the purposes of this section are accomplished.

It might as well be in the late handouts now so they could think about it. Then I can resubmit for the November 19 meeting. I find the new format of agendas WAY easier to use! Thanks! Cheryl Cruise This email is from an external source. Sent from my iPad November 1, 2019 To City Council: Subject: Defining affordable housing The staff report outlining a need for change to the inclusionary zoning ordinance states "Currently LIHTC (Low Income Housing Tax Credit) units do not meet the definition of affordable housing." Note that LIHTC units receive taxpayer funding and corporate investor funding. Rents are calculated at 30% of income, the definition used for cost burden, and are adjusted annually based on area median income data from the American Community Survey. Note that the rest of the country would define LIHTCs as affordable housing. Our use of Fair Market Rent is the problem. Fair Market Rent is NOT based on 30% of income but is calculated each year by HUD from a tiny number of ACS survey respondents who recently moved and are renting a 2 bedroom unit somewhere in the metro area. All rent numbers are mathematically derived from there. The annual results are volatile and are used to set rents for the federal Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program. Why ask builders with no TIF, no tax credit, no property tax abatement, no bonus height, and no public dollars to subsidize very low income housing at a level greater than LIHTC? (Or at all for that matter...) A TIF project has the affordable housing component and an 8% return on investment factored into the "gap in financing" so taxpayers can assist in paying for both. We are told that the affordable housing requirement can make up the bulk of the gap. The IZ code could be changed to read "Affordable rental housing in Riverfront Crossings is housing that is rented for no more than 60% AMI LIHTC rent limits for Johnson County, as adjusted annually. Projects receiving public subsidy may be negotiated to a lower level of affordability." If we want affordable housing development, HUD instructs cities to examine "policies affecting the return on residential investment." This is a wise request. Perhaps the city should hire an economics expert to do a feasibility study of the IZ ordinance to be sure that it is fair, just, and sustainable. The first premise of the public committee studying the IZ ordinance was that there should be "no net cost to developer". Affordable Housing receiving taxpayer funding: Housing Choice Voucher eligibility is 50% AMI paying 30% of income. Iowa City Public Housing eligibility is 80% AMI paying 30% of income. Johnson County Housing Trust Fund eligibility is 80% AMI. LIHTC's vary typically from 40-60% AMI paying 30% of income with some market rate units. The RISE: 80% AMI paying 30% of income. Riverview West TIF: 110% AMI paying 30% of income. Workforce Housing: 80-120% AM I paying 30% of income. Johnson County definition of affordable housing: 80% AMI paying 30% of income Iowa City Affordable Housing definition except RFC: 80% of HUD AMI paying no more than 30% of income.

The project also includes traffic signal and pedestrian signal improvements, ADA sidewalk improvements, and public utility improvements at the Burlington Street and Madison Street intersection. Background /Analysis: In 2010, Anderson -Bogert completed design of the Burlington Street Median Project. This project included the construction of a median on Burlington Street from the Iowa River to Capitol Street, traffic signal improvements, new water main at the Madison Street intersection, street lighting improvements and landscaping. At that time, the project was put on hold due to uncertainty regarding development in the area and other factors. In 2017, the City hired Anderson -Bogert to revisit the Burlington Street Median Project, evaluate the existing plans to determine what revisions may be needed, and complete the design of the Burlington and Madison Intersection Improvements Project. Final plans were submitted to the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) on September 24, 2019 for the December 17, 2019 bid letting. The project will be bid through the I DOT, but construction administration and inspection will be performed by the City. The plans, specifications, and estimate of cost for construction of the Burlington and Madison Intersection Improvements Project have been filed in the Office of the City Clerk for public examination. The estimated cost of construction is $1,400,000, and will be funded with STBG funds, 3R funds, and General Obligation Bonds. The project is expected to be completed by fall 2020.

Attachments: Letter from Public Art Advisory Committee Resolution Iowa City Public Art Strategic Plan Executive Summary: The City Council requested the development of a strategic plan for the Iowa City Public Art program after receiving a request to increase funding for the program in December 2018. Since that time, the Public Art Advisory Committee has worked with members of the Iowa City arts community and the general public to produce and finalize a plan that will develop a sustainable, comprehensive and vibrant program that benefits all Iowa City residents. Background /Analysis: The resulting plan includes a review of all public input processes that have occurred over the past 10 months as well as an Action Plan that outlines 5 main goals for the program, a list of accompanying Action Steps and Tasks as well as a time frame for completion of the Action Steps. These goals include: Goal 1: Review the existing Public Art Program. Adjust its policies, priorities and practices to better reflect our dynamic community. Devise creative ways to deliver a wide range of art opportunities—from performance art to permanent installations, participatory programs, and more to stimulate a vibrant public art environment that will enrich us all. Goal 2: Expand opportunities to use public art to enliven and enhance areas throughout Iowa City to ensure that everyone in the community has a chance to enjoy it. Goal 3: Secure and manage funding to ensure an ongoing vibrant, sustainable Public Art Program as well as ensure the care and maintenance of existing public art assets. Goal 4: Collaborate with municipal, civic, nonprofit, and private sector organizations to create opportunities for public art. Goal 5: Build awareness and promote understanding about public art and the benefits of the arts in general. The Public Art Advisory Committee and City staff will lead the implementation efforts of the plan. Many of the steps outlined are started or will begin upon plan adoption. Marcia Bollinger, Public Art Program Coordinator, will hold primary responsibility for this process. Monthly progress reports will be presented to the Public Art Advisory Committee. Regular updates to the City Council will be provided as action steps are completed and/or as City Council action is requested. /_1Al_T43:I►vi121ILkI&I Description Letter from Public Art Advisory Committee Resolution Public Art Strategic Plan October 25, 2019 Iowa City City Council 410 E Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Re: Iowa City Public Art Strategic Plan Dear Mayor and Iowa City City Council members: CITY OF IOWA CITY 410 East Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240-1826 (3 19) 356-5000 (3 19) 356-5009 FAX www.icgov.org In August 2019, an update was provided regarding the status of the Public Art Strategic Plan. See attached. Since that time, the Public Art Advisory Committee has conducted two additional meetings to collect public feedback. The plan is also available on the City's website: https://www. icgov.org/promect/iowa-city-public-art-strategic-plan. The Public Art Strategic Plan establishes a sustainable, robust and efficient Public Art Program for the City of Iowa City. As the Public Art Strategic Plan is implemented over the next two years, the committee will foster a future public art program that benefits all Iowa Citians. We look forward to providing regular updates to the City Council regarding the progress and outcomes. On September 5, 2019, the Public Art Advisory Committee completed their review and recommended approval of the draft plan, moving it forward to the City Council for review and adoption.

Public art brings beauty and excitement to our surroundings. It sparks us to find wonder and inspiration in new and unexpected places. By promoting imaginative opportunities to experience and create art together, we can build a communi- ty that values and encourages diverse voices. We will continue to use the Public Art Program to nurture creative placemaking, and to inspire, educate and enrich our community and its visitors through visual and experiential art. We will work to make Iowa City the Greatest Small City for the Arts in America. V I Lvrejr To create a stimulating public arts environment that reflects and celebrates Iowa City's rich history, culture, diversity and character. Wurposm To outline a five-year plan to create a more sustainable and diverse public art program designed to meet the interests and the needs of our growing community and to secure the funding necessary to support it. i i i Public art has the power to energize our public spaces and profoundly trans- form the places where we live, work, and play. It generates community identity by creating a unique atmosphere and enhancing a sense of place. In function- ing both as destination and embellishment, public art plays an important role in sustaining the local economy. In the pages that follow, we document the process we used to gather feedback from the public regarding the direction Iowa City's Public Art Program should take in the future. The process was exciting and energizing because of the high value people in our community place on the arts. Residents and visitors alike look to the arts as a source of beauty, whimsy, and inspiration, and also as a ve- hicle we can rely on to shake us out of our comfort zones and draw us together. November 2019 City of Iowa City Strategic Art Plan O4 Public Art Goals and Strategies After culling through survey responses and notes from thought-provoking conversations that occurred during public meetings and gatherings of arts professionals, we distilled five goals we will use to steer the Public Art Program for the next five years: Review the existing Public Art Program. Adjust its policies, priorities and practices to better reflect our dynamic community. Devise creative ways to deliver a wide range of art opportunities—from performance art to permanent installations, participatory programs, and more to stimulate a vibrant public art environment that will enrich us all. Expand opportunities to use public art to enliven and enhance areas throughout Iowa City to ensure that everyone in the community has a chance enjoy it. Secure and manage funding to ensure an ongoing vibrant, sustainable Public Art Program as well as ensure the care and maintenance of existing public art assets. Collaborate with municipal, civic, nonprofit and private sector organizations to create opportunities for public art. Build awareness and promote understanding about public art and the benefits of the arts in general. O5 City of Iowa City Strategic Art Plan To ensure these goals are met, we have written a timeline with detailed action steps and tasks. This action plan will move us towards reaching the goals and strategies for arts and culture as outlined in the IC2030: Com- prehensive Plan and Strategic Plan Update, adopted May 14, 2013. To provide context for future discussions, we also offer a brief history of the major accomplishments of the Public Art Program from its inception in 1997 to the present. Given the importance of public art in making Iowa City both a vibrant place to live and an alluring destination for visitors, we are committed to securing stable funding sources to ensure the future of this vital program. We urge City Council to explore long-term funding options such as a ho- tel/motel tax set-aside, new requirements or incentives for private devel- opment projects, and other creative solutions. November 2019 Iowa City is defined by its flourishing arts and culture scene. The Public Art Program was established by the City Council in 1997 to re- vitalize our public spaces and enhance Iowa City's reputation as a cultural destination and vibrant place to live and work. The Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC) was established to oversee the program to manage the budget, determine potential art installation sites, oversee the proposal and selection process, and curate the collection. The City's permanent public art collection is now valued at over $1,000,000. The Iowa City Public Art Program has sustained activity over the past twenty years despite regular adjustments to the funding levels. Public art has the power to energize our public spaces, heighten our awareness, question our assumptions and profoundly transform the places where we live, work, and play. It generates community identity by creating a unique atmosphere and enhancing a sense of place. The Iowa City Public Art Program will continue to sustain and grow our investments in the arts.

The Steering Committee met twice. At the first meeting, the group helped fine tune the mechanisms used to solicit ideas and feedback from the public. At the second meeting, members helped evaluate the public input uj SAW Af��a(t received. They also reviewed proposed goals and action plans and provided insights and suggestions of additional areas to be considered for inclusion in the strategic plan. Public Meetings The Public Art Advisory Committee hosted two Public Input meetings. The first meeting provided opportunities for general feedback regarding topics such as: Where should public art be located? What form should public art take? What should public art do? What other types of art would you like to see? Online Survey The feedback received at the public meetings was used to guide devel- opment of a Public Art Survey that was made available online for public responses over a three-week period in April 2019. A public display was also placed in the Iowa City Public Library that provided the opportunity for visitors to respond. Members of the Public Art Advisory Committee also participated in one-on-one canvassing of visitors to the Iowa City Pedestrian Mall one Saturday afternoon. Survey Results The amount of input and enthusiasm that was exhibited in the responses to the survey demonstrates that the citizens of Iowa City consider public art to be an important, if not critical component to the quality of life in the community. Who Participated? Five hundred responses were received to the online survey with almost 100% completion of each survey. Visitors to the library completed 22 surveys and pedestrian mall visitors completed another 23 surveys.

Public art brings beauty and excitement to our surroundings. It sparks us to find wonder and inspiration in new and unexpected places. By promoting imaginative opportunities to experience and create art together, we can build a community that values and encourages diverse voices. We will continue to use the Public Art Program to nurture creative placemaking, and to inspire, educate and enrich our community and its visitors through visual and experiential art. We will work to make Iowa City the Greatest Small City for the Arts in America. Mission To create a stimulating public arts environment that reflects and celebrates Iowa City's rich history, culture, diversity and character. Purpose To outline a five-year plan to create a more sustainable and diverse public art program designed to meet the interests and the needs of our growing community and to secure the funding necessary to support it. 2 Iowa City is defined by its flourishing arts and culture scene. The Public Art Program was established by the City Council in 1997 to revitalize our public spaces and enhance Iowa City's reputation as a cultural destination and vibrant place to live and work. The Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC) was established to oversee the program to manage the budget, determine potential art installation sites, oversee the proposal and selection process, and curate the collection. The City's permanent public art collection is now valued at over $1,000,000. The Iowa City Public Art Program has sustained activity over the past twenty years despite regular adjustments to the funding levels. $120,000 $100,000 $80,000 $60,000 $40,000 $20,000 $0 Public Art Annual Funding (1999-2019) LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL 3 The Public Art Strategic Plan was developed to align with the goals and strategies for arts and culture as outlined in the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan (IC2030: Comprehensive Plan and Strategic Plan Update, adopted May 14, 2073): • Explore new funding sources for Arts and Culture projects and programs such as Hotel/Motel tax revenue, crowd -funding, a "percent for art" ordinance, and new grant funding. • Seek the participation of diverse populations (e.g. young and old) when developing cultural programs. • Increase visibility and awareness of Arts and Culture programs. • Explore opportunities for new Arts and Culture venues that will attract visitors to Iowa City. • Seek representation of diverse populations on the Public Arts Committee. • Develop an Arts and Culture plan that includes all neighborhoods. • Continue to provide opportunities for Neighborhood Art.

Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Iowa City City Council hereby adopts the attached Iowa City Public Art Strategic Plan 2020-2025 in order to implement the Plan to meet the long-term objectives and goals for the Iowa City Public Art Program.

In function- ing both as destination and embellishment, public art plays an important role in sustaining the local economy. In the pages that follow, we document the process we used to gather feedback from the public regarding the direction Iowa City's Public Art Program should take in the future. The process was exciting and energizing because of the high value people in our community place on the arts. Residents and visitors alike look to the arts as a source of beauty, whimsy, and inspiration, and also as a ve- hicle we can rely on to shake us out of our comfort zones and draw us together. November 2019 City of Iowa City Strategic Art Plan O4 Public Art Goals and Strategies After culling through survey responses and notes from thought-provoking conversations that occurred during public meetings and gatherings of arts professionals, we distilled five goals we will use to steer the Public Art Program for the next five years: Review the existing Public Art Program. Adjust its policies, priorities and practices to better reflect our dynamic community. Devise creative ways to deliver a wide range of art opportunities—from performance art to permanent installations, participatory programs, and more to stimulate a vibrant public art environment that will enrich us all. Expand opportunities to use public art to enliven and enhance areas throughout Iowa City to ensure that everyone in the community has a chance enjoy it. Secure and manage funding to ensure an ongoing vibrant, sustainable Public Art Program as well as ensure the care and maintenance of existing public art assets. Collaborate with municipal, civic, nonprofit and private sector organizations to create opportunities for public art. Build awareness and promote understanding about public art and the benefits of the arts in general. O5 City of Iowa City Strategic Art Plan To ensure these goals are met, we have written a timeline with detailed action steps and tasks. This action plan will move us towards reaching the goals and strategies for arts and culture as outlined in the IC2030: Com- prehensive Plan and Strategic Plan Update, adopted May 14, 2013. To provide context for future discussions, we also offer a brief history of the major accomplishments of the Public Art Program from its inception in 1997 to the present. Given the importance of public art in making Iowa City both a vibrant place to live and an alluring destination for visitors, we are committed to securing stable funding sources to ensure the future of this vital program. We urge City Council to explore long-term funding options such as a ho- tel/motel tax set-aside, new requirements or incentives for private devel- opment projects, and other creative solutions.

Public art has the power to energize our public spaces, heighten our awareness, question our assumptions and profoundly transform the places where we live, work, and play. It generates community identity by creating a unique atmosphere and enhancing a sense of place. The Iowa City Public Art Program will continue to sustain and grow our investments in the arts.

The Steering Committee met twice. At the first meeting, the group helped fine tune the mechanisms used to solicit ideas and feedback from the public. At the second meeting, members helped evaluate the public input uj SAW Af��a(t received. They also reviewed proposed goals and action plans and provided insights and suggestions of additional areas to be considered for inclusion in the strategic plan. Public Meetings The Public Art Advisory Committee hosted two Public Input meetings. The first meeting provided opportunities for general feedback regarding topics such as: Where should public art be located? What form should public art take? What should public art do? What other types of art would you like to see? Online Survey The feedback received at the public meetings was used to guide devel- opment of a Public Art Survey that was made available online for public responses over a three-week period in April 2019. A public display was also placed in the Iowa City Public Library that provided the opportunity for visitors to respond. Members of the Public Art Advisory Committee also participated in one-on-one canvassing of visitors to the Iowa City Pedestrian Mall one Saturday afternoon. Survey Results The amount of input and enthusiasm that was exhibited in the responses to the survey demonstrates that the citizens of Iowa City consider public art to be an important, if not critical component to the quality of life in the community. Who Participated? Five hundred responses were received to the online survey with almost 100% completion of each survey. Visitors to the library completed 22 surveys and pedestrian mall visitors completed another 23 surveys.
