PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA There was no public discussion of any item not on the agenda. 3. ADMINISTRATION a. Consider Formation of the JCCOG Affordable Housing Taskforce Yapp explained the history of the JCCOG Affordable Housing Taskforce and noted the importance of instituting a permanent committee with a specified structure as recommended by the Taskforce. Yapp noted the proposed representatives to serve on the committee and stated the reasons why they were recommended. Yapp stated the various missions and responsibilities the committee would undertake, particularly noting the need for another affordable housing market analysis in approximately five years. Phillips moved to accept the formation of the Taskforce; the motion was seconded by Ricketts. The motion carried unanimously. b. Items from the Executive Director Yapp stated that JCCOG is working on a number of grant applications related to transportation projects in the urbanized area. Yapp noted the new format addressing "update of recent activities" at formal JCCOG meetings, and a new style of setting future meetings that involves email correspondence prior to the meeting. The committee suggested they would like to see possible alternative dates for future meeting dates included in email correspondence. 4. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE HUMAN SERVICES DIVISION Severson noted recent activities from the human services division including the long term flood recovery group meetings, and customer service surveys from the free lunch program. Severson noted that the results from the Free Lunch Program surveys were mixed but the input was useful and JCCOG will continue to do feedback surveys in the future. 5. TRANSPORTATION PLANNING a. Consider a resolution adopting the FY10 Transportation Planning Work Program Yapp summarized the contents and types of projects within the FY10 JCCOG Transportation Planning Work Program (TPWP). Yapp noted that the TPWP contains anticipated completion times for projects as requested by the Iowa DOT. Yapp stated that a significant project contained in this work program is the update of the Long Range Multi-Modal Transportation Plan which will need to be adopted in 2012. Motion to approve the FY10 JCCOG Transportation Planning Work Program was made by Bailey and seconded by Weihe. The motion carried unanimously. b. Consider approval of an amendment to the transit element of the FY09 Transportation Improvement Program to add a proiect to purchase hybrid/electric buses. Neumann explained the proposed amendment to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) as necessary to allow the three local transit agencies to apply for grants through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) that would fund new diesel-electric buses. Neumann stated that under this proposed amendment, Coralville transit would apply for hybrid engine funding for four buses, Iowa City transit would apply six hybrid engines, and CAMBUS would apply for five hybrid engines. Ricketts asked if consideration was given to the height of the railroad bridge that passes over Iowa Avenue. Neumann answered that the new buses would be slightly taller than current buses and that it may be necessary to reroute the new buses to avoid the bridge. Bailey moved to accept the amendment to the FY09 TIP to allow the purchase of new buses; the motion was seconded by Ricketts. The motion carried unanimously. c. Consider approval of the updated JCCOG Travel Demand Model - Nagle-Gamm stated that new land use and trip generation information has been applied to the 2035 model for the Iowa River Landing site in Coralville. Nagle- Gamm noted that the traffic demand model will continuously be updated and upon the release of 2010 census data the model will undergo more involved revisions, including changes in traffic analysis zone boundaries and a more thorough socio-economic data update. Phillips asked if park areas in Tiffin could be included in the updated map. Nagle- Gamm answered that the updated model would include the parks. Yapp stated that the primary reason the model update was initiated was to update the proposed future land uses for the Iowa River Landing Site in Coralville. Herwig moved to approve the updated JCCOG Travel Demand Model; the motion was seconded by Phillips. The motion carried unanimously. d. Update on Passenger Rail Activities Neumann stated that the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce has recently undertaken several efforts to promote passenger rail service between Iowa City and Chicago including a train ride from Iowa City to the Quad Cities on May 5. Neumann noted the State Passenger Rail Committee met on April 1St in Ames and that Regenia Bailey is the JCCOG representative on the committee. Neumann then reviewed several state and federal passenger rail funding initiatives that may affect passenger rail service for Iowa City in the near future. _ _ e. Consider Authorizing the Chairperson to sign a letter to Congressional Representatives regarding continued funding of the Small Transit Intensive Cities Program Neumann explained the Small Transit Intensive Cities (STIC) program as an incentive to encourage and reward local investment in smaller urbanized area transit agencies. Neumann stated that this program provides a substantial amount of funding to the local transit agencies and if it were not included in the new transportation bill, local services would likely have to be scaled back. Phillips asked how this funding relates to transit expansion to smaller communities such as Tiffin. Neumann answered that a transit expansion review is scheduled to begin as part of the JCCOG FY10 work program. Stutsman moved to accept authorizing the Chairperson to sign the letter; the motion was seconded by Ricketts. The motion carried unanimously. f. Update on Surface Transportation Program and Transportation Enhancement funding targets Ackerson stated that JCCOG has recently received updated funding targets for Surface Transportation Program (STP) and Transportation Enhancement (TE) Program funds from the Iowa DOT due to a change in obligation limitations. Yapp stated that JCCOG will keep member entities appraised of any additional changes that arise and that more information will be provided at the next meeting. g. Update on I-JOBS bonding program Yapp explained the I-JOBS bonding program that was recently signed by Governor Culver on May 14th and noted it will provide over $700 million in State bonding authority for a variety of projects. Yapp mentioned that funds would be available for an assortment of projects including disaster related projects, sewer systems, housing, energy, broadband, vertical infrastructure, university repairs, and transportation improvements. Yapp recommended that agencies who apply for funding from this program pay attention to specific requirements as they may add significant administrative efforts to projects. Update on recent activities Yapp briefly described the following projects: • North Dubuque Street/North Liberty Road Traffic Study • Triennial Reviews for Coralville Transit and CAMBUS • Metro Bicycle Plan • Cool Cities Taskforce • Senior Drivers Programs 6. OTHER BUSINESS There was no other business discussed. 7. ADJOURNMENT Herwig moved to adjourn the meeting; the motion was seconded by Wright. The motion carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 5:03 pm. Date: June 16, 2009 r ~ ~ ~ / m e m 0 To: JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board From: John Yapp, Executive Director -~Y`~,,__ Re: Agenda Item 3(a): Items from the Executive Director Federal Transportation Legislation The current federal transportation legislation under which we fund many of our transportation infrastructure projects and operations expires on September 30. The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure has been discussing the shape of the next transportation legislation, and Chairman James Oberstar (Minn) plans to release a blueprint for the recommended legislation on June 18. This is significant for JCCOG and similar organizations, because the new legislation will affect the types of transportation funding we administer, and what that funding can and cannot be used for. I will have more information to distribute to the Board following the release of the Oberstar information; this legislation will likely be heavily debated in Congress in the next several months. Quadrennial Review of JCCOG In August, representatives of the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration and Iowa DOT will be meeting with JCCOG staff to review our programs primarily in the transportation planning arena. This review is due to these agencies funding a portion of JCCOG services, and being the grantees of several funding sources we work with. Cool Communities Taskforce We have hosted two Cool Communities Taskforce meetings in the past few months. This is the group formed to facilitate the development of greenhouse gas-reduction plans for JCCOG entities. The focus of the first few meetings was to share information and education on how to determine a communities' emissions and energy use, and what the action plans might consist of. One thing we learned is that each entity is at a different stage in the process; some are complete with their emissions inventory, and some have not yet started. We are giving time to the entities who have not yet started their inventory to begin their investigation before meeting again as a group later in the summer. Affordable Housing Committee We have received most of the appointments to the new JCCOG Affordable Housing Committee. Once all the appointments are made, we will set a first meeting. As discussed at the last JCCOG Board meeting, the committee will consist of local government representatives, and housing industry representatives. C:\Documents and Settings\jyapp\Desktop\MemoForm-newJCCOG.doc r r~~ Date: June 16, 2009 To: JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board From: Kristopher Ackerson, Assistant Transportation Planner JCCOG m e m o Re: Agenda Item 4(a): Consider a resolution approving the JCCOG FY10-13 Transportation Improvement Program The annual JCCOG Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is our local programming document for federal and state surface transportation projects. A copy of the draft FY10-13 JCCOG TIP is enclosed for Board members; the draft is also available online at: www.jccog.org/documents/currentTlP.pdf. Please take a moment to review your projects, and let me know if anything is inaccurate. You will notice some projects anticipated to be let in FY09 are listed in FY10 in the draft TIP. The software we use to develop the TIP does this automatically; they will be dropped from the FY10 list if they are let in FY09. In January 2009, new Transportation Enhancement and American Reinvestment and Recovery Act projects were awarded funds; these projects are listed in the draft TIP. Iowa DOT has agreed to allow illustrative projects on a limited basis in the State TIP. These projects do not have funding yet, but the cities are actively lobbying for federal funds. Using the criteria approved by the JCCOG Board, staff created and distributed an application to JCCOG entities. The following projects met the application criteria and were added to the draft TIP: o Coralville, 1St Ave. bridge over Clear Creek o Coralville, I-80/1St Ave. interchange improvements o Iowa City, 1St Ave./Iowa Interstate Railroad grade separation o Iowa City, Dubuque Street elevation and Park Road Bridge replacement o Tiffin, Ireland Ave. improvements from I-80 to Iowa Interstate Railroad To date, we have received no public comments on the FY10-13 TIP. At its May 14 meeting, the JCCOG TTAC recommended approving the draft TIP. Please be prepared to consider authorizing the Board chair to sign associated resolutions adopting the TIP.

There are two types of changes that occur under the umbrella of revision. The first is a major re- vision or "Amendment." The second is a minor revision or "Administrative Modification." JCCOG uses the following definitions and thresholds when determining an amendment vs. an adminis- trative modification. Amendment An amendment is a revision to the TIP that involves a major change to a project included in the TIP/STIP. This includes an addition or deletion of a project or a major change in project cost, project/project phase initiation dates, or a major change in design concept or scope (e.g., changing project termini or the number of through lanes). Changes to projects that are included only for illustrative purposes do not require an amendment. An amendment is a revision that re- quires public review and comment, redemonstration of fiscal constraint, or a conformity determi- nation (for metropolitan TIPs involving "non-exempt" projects in nonattainment and maintenance areas). Changes that affect fiscal constraint must take place by amendment of the TIP. Administrative Modification A minor revision to a TIP or STIP is an administrative modification. It includes minor change! project phase costs, minor changes to funding sources of previously-included projects, and minor changes to project/project phase initiation dates. An administrative modification is a revi- sion that does not require public review and comment, redemonstration of fiscal constraint, or a conformity determination (in nonattainment and maintenance areas). Amendment vs. Administrative Modification There are four main components that can be used to determine whether a project change con- stitutes an amendment or an administrative modification. They include the following: Project costs-Determination will be made based on the percentage change or dollar amount of change in federal aid. Projects in which the federal aid has been changed by more than 30% or total federal aid increases by $2.0 million or more will require an amendment. Anything less can be processed with an administrative modification. Schedule changes-Changes in schedules to projects which are included in the first four years of the TIP/STIP will be considered administrative modifications. Projects which are added or deleted from the TIP/STIP will be process as amendments. Funding sources-Additional federal funding sources to a project will require an amend- ment. Changes to funding from one source to another will require an administrative modi- fication. Scope changes-Changing project termini or changing the amount of through traffic lanes will be process as an amendment. Other examples of changes that require amend- ment are changing the type of work from an overlay to reconstruction. Another example is changing a project to include widening of the roadway. 19 Procedural Requirements for Revisions Amendments are considered major revisions and therefore have more procedural requirements The main requirement is a 30-day period for public input. The second is TTAC and Board approval of the amendment. Public involvement is required for amendments to the JCCOG TIP Statewide public review for Iowa DOT project amendments takes place the time of inclusion in the Iowa DOT's Transportation Improvement Program. Iowa DOT sponsored projects within JCCOG must go through JCCOG's adopted amendment process, which includes public review and approval by the Urbanized Area Policy Board and TTAC. Administrative modifications have simplified procedures which allow more flexibility in the processing of changes. JCCOG staff is allowed to process their changes by seeking board approval or the planning agency may make minor changes if the process is documented and approved by the appropriate technical and policy boards. Finally, each type of revision must be processed in TPMS and the date of approval by the JCCOG Board needs to be included in the revision submittal. Revision Procedures The JCCOG Public Input Process (see page 24) details the steps necessary to document any TIP administrative modifications and amendments. 20 FY10-13 STP and TE Project Locations The attached maps show the general project locations for projects funded with Interstate Maintenance, Highway Bridge Program, regional STP, and TE funds. The project locations are shown in relation to census tracts with varying ranges of non-white population, according to the 2000 U.S. Census. 21 22 ~_ r ~ 23 JCCOG public input process JCCOG follows a public input process that targets interest groups representing unique users of the transportation system, as well as groups involved in the growth and development of the metropolitan area. From the Conner Center for Independent Living, which represents persons with disabilities, to the Iowa Bicycle Coalition to the Tiffin Planning and Zoning Commission, any group wishing to be added to the public input organization list may be added. These groups are notified of all proposals for arterial street plan amendments, Transportation Improvement Program amendments and annual adoption, Long-Range Transportation Plan amendments and adoption, and applications for STP and TE funding allocated by JCCOG. These public interest groups include: • Allen Lund Company • Bicyclists of Iowa City • Iowa City Office of Neighborhood Services • Iowa Bicycle Coalition • Citizens for Sensible Development • Clear Creek-Amana School District • Conner Center for Independent Living • Coralville Parks and Recreation Commission • CRANDIC Railroad • Environmental Advocates • FAIR • Friends of Historic Preservation • Friends of the Iowa River Scenic Trail • Goodwill • Greater Iowa City Chamber of Commerce • Iowa City Area Association of Realtors • Iowa City Area Development Group • Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission • Iowa City School Board • Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center • Iowa City Sierra Club Iowa Interstate Railroad • JCCOG Regional Trails and Bicycling Committee • Johnson County Historical Society • Johnson County Historic Preservation Commission • Johnson County League of Women Voters • Johnson County Planning and Zoning Commission • Johnson County Soil and Water Conservation Service • North Liberty Parks and Recreation Commission Systems Unlimited Project Green • Tiffin Planning and Zoning Commission 24 JCCOG public input process In addition to distributing materials to these public input process organizations, the JCCOG website is used to distribute information and notify the public of proposed amendments and documents. Often the media will develop news stories from information first presented on the JCCOG website. In addition, all discussions at the JCCOG Transportation Technical Advisory Committee meetings and the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board are open to the public, and the public is encouraged to contribute. For the Transportation Improvement Program, notices of the proposed TIP and public hearing regarding the TIP are posted on the buses of the three transit systems, and notice is published in the local newspaper (examples attached).

Application forms for JCCOG Surface Transportation Program (STP) and Transportation Enhancement (TE) funds are distributed to members of the JCCOG Transportation Technical Advisory Committee. Project sponsors must describe the project, the modes of transportation affected, and terrain and right-of-way needs and the funding request. 2. Summaries of projects and funding requests are distributed to the JCCOG transportation planning public input process organizations, and the JCCOG website. 3. JCCOG staff evaluates and assigns scores and rankings to the projects, according to the JCCOG-adopted scoring criteria. The scoring criteria are related to the collision history in the vicinity of the proposed project, improving traffic flow, consistency with comprehensive plans, multi-jurisdictional projects, and how many modes of transportation are affected. 4. JCCOG staff evaluate the applications to ensure the proposed projects conform with the JCCOG Long Range Multi-modal Transportation Plan and that the projects are non Federal Functional Class roadways. 5. Project applications and rankings are forwarded to the JCCOG Transportation Technical Advisory Committee (TTAC), who consider the applications at a public meeting. In considering a recommendation on project funding, the TTAC consider project scores and rankings, public input, application materials and discussion from applicants. The TTAC makes a recommendation to the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board on project funding. 6. A summary of the applications, project scores and rankings, public input and the TTAC funding recommendation are forwarded to the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board for review and ultimately a vote on project funding. The Board will also hold a public hearing to provide additional opportunity for public input. 7. The last step is revising the JCCOG Transportation Improvement Program to add projects and funding levels consistent with the JCCOG Board's decision. The Transportation Improvement Program is approved by the Board each May. 28 Fiscal constraint of the JCCOG TIP Operations and Maintenance To ensure the cities that comprise JCCOG are capable of maintaining and operating their transportation system, the following spreadsheets, show that annual operations and maintenance costs are less than forecasted revenues from non-federal-aid sources. Year of Expenditure In 2008, JCCOG began tracking projects using cost estimates in Year of Expenditure to reflect inflated expenses when projects are postponed. In this way, the JCCOG TIP is fiscally constrained because cost estimates increase over time. STP and TE Funds Allocated The following spreadsheets summarize the allocations of regional Surface Transportation Program and Transportation Enhancement funds allocated to JCCOG communities for apportionment by the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board. The JCCOG Board uses Iowa DOT funding targets to apportion the regional STP and TE funds. As funding targets are adjusted and the `final allocation' of regional STP and TE funds for current funding years are issued by Iowa DOT, the running total of funds granted to JCCOG are adjusted. For example, in FY08, the final allocation of STP funds issued by Iowa DOT was larger than the total amount of projects funded, and a surplus of funds was carried forward. While there are fluctuations in the year-to-year comparison of programmed funds vs. funding targets, for the four-year term of the JCCOG TIP the regional TE and STP funds allocated by the JCCOG Board are always equal to or lower than the funding targets issued by Iowa DOT. In this way, the JCCOG TIP is fiscally constrained for the project funding under the control of the JCCOG Board. For Iowa DOT and earmark projects, the JCCOG TIP includes only those projects programmed by Iowa DOT that have been allocated federal funds. In this way the JCCOG TIP is fiscally constrained for other federal aid projects that occur within the JCCOG transportation planning boundary. 29 0 V V III`` N N O U N U C C ~ L(7 C y..

The above-mentioned transit systems share the financial capacity to undertake the projects listed in the TIP. The following summary establishes the financial capacity for these systems. Louise From, Chairperson JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board Jccogadm/fta07/ftaanalysistmt. doc Date 33 FTA Financial Analysis Introduction FTA Circular 7008.1, Federal Transit Administration Financial Capacity Policy, requires that all recipients of FTA funding prepare an annual assessment of their financial condition and financial capability. FTA has developed a set of guidelines that are used to assess the financial condition and capability of the three fixed route transit systems in the Iowa City Urbanized Area. The main factors covered in the assessment are trends in ridership, fare levels and revenues, non-fare revenues, and unit costs. The analysis is a two-step process with the first step examining the current financial condition of the transit system using historical data. The second step looks at the likelihood that trends will continue to meet future operating and capital needs. Indicators of current financial condition Farebox revenue trends Coralville Transit. The average passenger fare remained the same in FY08 at $0.70. The average fare is expected to remain at this level or increase slightly during the period FY10-13. Ridership increased by just under 2% in FY08 due to an increase in the number of routes. More modest ridership increases in the 1-3% range are expected between FY10-13. Iowa City Transit. The average passenger fare in FY08 increased to $0.46. The average fare is expected to remain at this level or increase slightly during the period FY10-13. Ridership increased by 11 % in FY08. Ridership increases may exceed this percentage in the period FY10-13 when additions to Iowa City Transit service are implemented. University of Iowa Cambus. University of Iowa Cambus operates a no-fare system so revenue from the farebox is not a factor. Ridership increased by less than 1 % in FY08. Modest ridership increases are expected for FY10-13. 2. Non-farebox revenue trends Coralville Transit. An increase of 6% is expected for FTA operating funding in FY10. State TransitAssistancehas increased slightly since FY09 and slight increases are expected forthe period FY10-13. Federal transit operating assistance is expected to remain at this level during the period FY10-13. Revenues increased three years ago due to the Small Transit Intensive Communities program. Local revenue will continue to provide the majority of Coralville Transit operating funding during the period FY10-13. Iowa City Transit. An increase of 8% is expected for FTA operating funding in FY10. State Transit Assistance has increased slightly since FY09 and slight increases are expected for the period FY10-13. Federal transit operating assistance is expected to increase during the period FY10-13. Revenues increased three years ago due to the Small Transit Intensive Communities program. Local revenue will continue to provide the majority of Iowa City Transit operating funding during the period FY10-13. Iowa City is currently using the maximum 34 available from the transit levy and will meet additional revenue needs through transfers from the City's General Fund. Additional revenue will also accrue to Iowa City Transit from operation of the Court Street Transportation Center which is an asset of Iowa City Transit. University of Iowa Cambus. An increase of 6% is expected for FTA operating funding in FY10. State Transit Assistance has increased slightly since FY09 and slight increases are expected for the period FY10-13. Federal transit operating assistance is expected to increase during the period FY10-13. Revenues increased three years ago due to the Small Transit Intensive Communities program. Local revenue will continue to provide the majority of Cambus operating funding during the period FY10-13. The majority of local funding for Cambus comes from the mandatory student fee that is paid each semester by University of Iowa students, and from transfers from the University parking fund and other university departments. 3. Cost trends Coralville Transit, Iowa City Transit, University of Iowa Cambus. All three systems have experienced increases in operating costs. Coralville Transit's increase in operating cost was approximately 6.5%; Iowa City Transit increased by 12%, and Cambus operating costs increased approximately 5.5% between FY07 and FY08. These increases were attributable to higher fuel prices, labor expenses, and health care premiums. Operating costs are expected to increase in the 4% to 5% range during the FY010-13 period. 4. Cost effectiveness trends Coralville Transit, Iowa City Transit, University of Iowa Cambus. All three systems experienced increased costs between FY07 and FY08 as measured by cost/mile, cost/hour, and cost/passenger. Coralville Transit cost per mile increased from $6.68 to $7.06; Iowa City Transit cost per mile increased from $6.05 to $6.57; and University of Iowa Cambus cost per mile increased from $3.74 to $3.94. Cost per ride on Coralville Transit increased from $2.31 in FY07 to $2.43 in FY08. Iowa City Transit increased from $2.42 to $2.43; and University of Iowa Cambus increased from $0.69 to $0.72. Cost per ride is not expected to vary significantly from these figures during the period FY10-13. As measured by these performance factors, Coralville Transit, Iowa City Transit, and UI Cambus remain three of the four most efficient transit systems in the state of Iowa along with CyRide in Ames. 5. Likelihood of trends continuing Based on the examination of each system's revenue forecast and projected operating expenses, Coralville Transit, Iowa City Transit, and University of Iowa Cambus will have the financial capacity to maintain adequate levels of funding for the period covered by the FY10-13 JCCOG Transportation Improvement Program. Local funding trends are expected to continue. FTA Small Transit Intensive Communities program funding will enhance federal funding of each system. Iowa City Transit will see additional revenue enhancement with planned service expansion and income from the Court Street Transportation Center.

Iowa DOT is requesting this commitment to a depot location due to a funding request by Iowa DOT for an environmental study associated with the track upgrade. The environmental study will include depot locations and is one of the first steps toward passenger rail service to the area. In the feasibility study conducted by Amtrak for passenger rail service to Iowa City, Amtrak based their ridership projections on being close to the University of Iowa campus and has indicated that they would prefer to be located close to the main campus to maximize ridership, and to be within walking distance of the student population. The old Rock Island Railroad Depot in Iowa City fits Amtrak's location needs. Iowa City is exploring the purchase of the old Rock Island Rail Depot for Amtrak use; there are other potential locations in the same vicinity east of the Iowa River. There has also been discussion of a potential depot location near Highway 6 and Coral Ridge Avenue; either as the main depot location or a secondary location. A second stop in the same urbanized area, while not out of the question, would have to be justified. JCCOG staff discussed this issue with the TTAC at their June 23rd meeting with a representative from the Iowa DOT. The TTAC recommendation will be presented to the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board at the June 24th meeting. Iowa DOT is the lead agency for rail development in Iowa and the Board would be making a recommendation regarding the rail depot location to the Iowa DOT.

If all or a portion of Johnson County exceeds the standard, we would be labeled as `non-attainment', which has implications for transportation capital funding and industrial development. Measurements of PM 2.5 are based on a three-year, 24-hour average, and fluctuate regularly depending on weather patterns and atmospheric conditions. We indicated at that time that although the Johnson County three-year average had not yet exceeded the 35 ug/m3 threshold, future readings could jeopardize Johnson County's attainment status. Staff indicated that we would continue to monitor the issue and keep the Board apprised. We are happy to report that PM 2.5 levels in our area were reduced in 2008, so we remain an attainment county. The following summarizes this issue: • The National Ambient Air Quality Standard threshold for fine particulates (PM 2.5) is 35 ug/m3 (micrograms per cubic meter of air). • The three-year average for Johnson County in 2007 was measured at 34 ug/m3; the three- year average for Johnson County in 2008 was measured at 29 ug/m3; the monitor is located at Hoover Elementary School. • PM 2.5 is particulate matter including dust and pollutants smaller than 2.5 microns. • Measurements are based on a three-year, 24-hour average. Winter readings are typically higher than summer readings and vary from year to year. Although the Johnson County three-year PM 2.5 average decreased from 2007 to 2008, it is important that we continue to monitor this issue. Should Johnson County become designated as anon-attainment area, there would likely be implications for how and where state and federal transportation capital funds may be spent. The State may also begin requiring major industries to test for fine particulates and limit growth in the industrial sector through the DNR permitting process. States with designated nonattainment areas are required under the Clean Air Act to develop a State Implementation Plan and submit it to EPA within three years; the plan must include enforceable measures for reducing air pollutant emissions and provide steps to attain the PM 2.5 standards as quickly as possible. Emissions reduction programs for vehicles and power plants are commonly used tools used to attain PM 2.5 standards. The role of JCCOG would be in the transportation sector. Please bring any questions you have to the June 24th meeting. w/jccogtp/mem/UA PB-Ai rQuality-6-09 )lJ^JE`1~r 200 ', '~ES~(~l=i~~~S~3t~~1~Slj[P,.t4~A,~ By PERRY.BEEMAN and CHASE DAVIS pbeeman@dmreg.com he air across Iowa is, so polluted that the state . is perilously close to violating clew federal limits aimed at protecting human health. Yet Iowans have no way of knowing what chemicals they are breathing because of a limited -and often inaccurate -.system of monitor- ing pollutionstatewide, a Des Moines Register investigation found. Catharine Fitzsimmons, Iowa's top air-quality official, defended Iowa's existing air-monitoring- system. Yet she said the state is under orders .from ~~W~~S ~ ~~,c~esfi ~~Poll~uter the federal go~errirnentto better moni= for fine-particle and -ozone pollution, among Iowa's trtost pressing air-quality problems. "Both of those pollutants affect respiratory systems, particularly in the young, the elderly and those with compromised lung function," Fitzsim- coons said. "They trigger heart atfacks and other health problems." Iowans should know better in a couple of years what is coming Qu# of the stacks of Iowa's.greatest poblut- ers. The state's Department of Natural Resources will begin requiring major industries to do more thorough testing for fine particles after the U.S. Environ- mental Protection Agency releases a long-awaited protocol. But a top environmental advocate '~ said what Iowans are breathing today is worse than people think. "It's. Surprisingly bad," said Donna Wong-Gibbons, a physiologist. with Plains Justice, an environmental ad= vocacy group. "It's sort of a paradox in thesense that Iowa is thought of as this great state with farm. country and open land, .and St, the same. titne there AIR, PAGE 6A FROM:PAGE 1A are serious problems with air pollution." Hundreds, of chemical compounds waft through ~- Iowa's air. Most have riot reached dangerous levels, and many plants emit less pollution than they did years ago. Still, fine particles now blow across the state in such high concentrations they are approaching levels that could force the state to mandate expensive improvements for business- es, the Register's examna- tion found. Concentrations of ozone, an ingredient o'f smog, are not as consis- tently poor, but they, too, are pushing fecleal limits across the state. The Register's air-.quality analysis found find-particle levels in Iowa violated fed- eral limits 69 times from 2006 0 2008, often trigger- ing warnings that advised people' with lung problems to stay inside. Ozone topped the federal limits twice. The newspaper's three- month examination focused on six pollutants regulated through the Clean Air Act that are considered' among the greatest threats to publ;c ,health..partiole pot- lution; ground:-level cizone., carbon n~,onoxide, ~ ~ sulfur oxide's, ntrtigen oxides: and lead The'investigation-which included an analysis of five years of emissions data from .:1,600 facilities,' a de- tailed review of compliance -files from mores than >~Q~:. Iowa facilities, and other reporting on Iowa's biggest air polluters -found: • The highest emissions of the sik chemical com- pounds came from Wood- bury, Muscatine, Pottawat- tame, Linn and Clinton counties. Those counties __ .__ are home to a.combination of power plants, grain pro- cessors, manufacturers and other industries. Franklin, Adams, Van Buren, Taylor and Lucas counties, which are., mostly rural; had the lowest emis- sions. The limited air-monitor- ing network that does exist .shows 15 cities across the state have xeeorded ozone or particulate readings that exceeded federal limits dur- ingthe past three years, Muscatine and Daven- port have been cited by the federal government for repeatedly violating limits on' small particle pollu- tion, in large part because of emissions from found- ries, .cement plants and power plants,, along with vehicles. • Polk County, home of the state capital, ranked 23rd among the counties. The top facility in Polk County, ADM's Des Moines soybean plant, ranked 58th among the, state's tqp emit' tars. • In 25 counties, the top emitters were manufactur- ers making generators; veterinary . pharmaceuti- cals or bricks, for example. In 19 other counties, the top emitters were power plants. • Neither"regulatory nor polluting indu. stases can tell for certairlwhich chemicals Iowa ~residertts are breath= ing.

The EPA has listed mercury as a seri- ous health threat and has 1•inked it to developmental: problerns•inipe.ople (~"ee~a related-arficle in Tuesday's, Register.). ' Cathy Wooilums, senior vice president of NIidAm- erican Energy Co., which has 10 Iowa power plants, cautioned that Iowa's air pollution ,doesn't just come from .power,plants':aasd' big' inc~cistrial~facilities.~ "It comes from every- thing,'' she said. "It •comes from lawn mowers. It comes from automobiles. It comes from boats on the Mississippi River. Those are the types of things that we haven't seen impacted as larger industries are more and mare regulated. We are getting to levels that we have tb look'at the smaller things." The EFA required `'sf~tes. to regulate the chemicals a~a~ wed try the ~Ze~~ster' ey~~ a • e ~; , , i s. r, ~.~ v. ,. he; ~-, 'tng o'~isti b,_ toms. Areas that can't meet federal air-pollution limits can be forced to reduce emissions or else turn away new businesses or expansions. Many of Iowa's prob- lems stem not from rising emissions but from tighter standards: Federal health workers have determined that smaller 'amounts of pollution are enough to do damage, triggering the lower air-pollution limits. Iowa does have this go- ing for it: Problems here still pale in comparison. to those of many larger, urban areas with, heavier industry, especially east of the Mis- sissippi River. An American Lung Asso- ciation report released in April found no Iowa .cities were among the. nation's worst for ozone or particu- latepollution. ` Yet Muscatine and Scott counties were among 211• counties nationally 'that the EPA declared in ch"tonic violation of federal fine-par- ticle limits in December. r ~~~ m e m o Date: June 15, 2009 To: JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board From: John Yapp, Executive Director ~~'~"~ Re: Agenda Item #4(d): Update on I-JOBS Legislation On June 10, the City of Coralville and the Chamber of Commerce hosted a meeting to provide the latest information on the I-JOBS legislation, including the initial proposed I-JOBS Board administrative rules.

Governor Culver's signature initiative, I-JOBS will strengthen Iowa's economy, help our state recover from the natural disasters of 2008, and preserve or create thousands of jobs. The $830 million three-year program includes several parts but focuses on public infrastructure, transportation, disaster recovery & prevention, environment & water quality, telecommunications & renewable energy and housing.. I-JOBS is funded with existing state gaming revenue, meaning no increase in taxes. What is the role of the I-JOBS Board of Directors? The Iowa Legislature charged the I-JOBS Board of Directors with establishing, overseeing and providing approval of the I-JOBS Local Infrastructure Program. The Board will encourage and support public construction projects related to disaster relief and mitigation. I-JOBS includes $165 million for this purpose: • $46.5 million in grants targeted to Linn County, Cedar Rapids, Palo, Elkader and Charles City • $118.5 million in competitive grants to be awarded to cities, counties, and nonprofit organizations Who administers the I-JOBS programs that the I-JOBS Board does not? I-JOBS includes several components; public infrastructure, transportation, disaster recovery & prevention, environment & water quality, telecommunications & renewable energy and housing. Various state agencies will administer these programs. The I-JOBS Board will oversee only disaster recovery, prevention and local infrastructure. When will Linn County, Cedar Rapids, Palo, Elkader and Charles City receive the funds that are earmarked for them? The I-JOBS legislation states that these entities must submit a plan to the I-JOBS Board no later than September 1, 2009, detailing a description of the project, a plan to rebuild, and the amount or percentage of federal, state, local or private matching moneys that will or have been approved for the project. Those plans may be submitted to: Iowa Finance Authority Attn: Joseph Jones 2015 Grand Ave. Des Moines, Iowa 50312 j oseph. j ones@iowa. gov Funds not utilized in accordance with this rule shall revert to the I-JOBS competitive grant program for disaster recovery, prevention and local infrastructure. When can my community/county/nonprofit organization apply for competitive funds for disaster recovery & prevention? A Notice of Intent to Apply for the noncompetitive funds is available now at www.IowaFinanceAuthority.gov. The program's application will be available on July 1. The first deadline for the funds is August 3. Additional funding rounds will follow. The I-JOBS Board will review and approve competitive grant applications for disaster recovery, prevention and local infrastructure. How are I-JOBS funds appropriated and who administers each I-JOBS program?
