CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 9, ENTITLED "MOTOR VEHICLES
AND TRAFFIC," CHAPTER 4, ENTITLED "PARKING REGULATIONS," SECTION
15, ENTITLED "LIBRARY PARKING" TO REQUIRE LIBRARY PATRON PARKING
SIGNAGE TO NOTIFY THE DRIVER THAT THE LIBRARY HOURS ARE POSTED
ON THE LIBRARY DOOR. (FIRST CONSIDERATION)
Comment: Nearly a year ago Ordinance No. 05-4178 was passed that established a
specific provision for "library parking" for the spaces in front of the library. One
provision limits parking in five spaces to twenty minutes when the library is open and
requires that the hours be posted on the signs. The hours just changed on May 18 and
will change again in September. It costs approximately $400 each time to replace the
signs with the new hours. This ordinance requires that the sign refer to the hours as
posted on the door to the library instead of containing the actual hours. This will both
provide the driver adequate notice of when the twenty minute limit is in effect and
eliminate the costly requirement for the sign be changed every time the library hours
change.

legally. The City Code presently prohibits a person from bringing a pet into any City
park unless it is confined or on a leash. Another City Code provision prohibits a dog
from being at large. This ordinance will carve out exceptions in both of those code

LEASH DOG PARK.
Comment: The City has been working with DogPAC over the past three years to
develop a dog park; DogPAC has raised funds in excess of $200,000 to make this
facility become a reality. This agreement clarifies the maintenance responsibilities of
the City and DogPAC, and also indicates that 90% of the fees collected for use of the
dog park will go to DogPAC until December 31, 2007 at which time the revenue
sharing aspect of the agreement will be reviewed and possibly revised. The
agreement stipulates that the revenue must be used to directly benefit the dog park or
development of other dog parks in the city, as agreed upon by the City. The revenue
sharing proposal has been adopted by the Parks and Recreation Commission, in the

oc..-ln.
Comment: The City has the authority under Iowa Code ~364.13B to assess the
nuisance abatement costs in the same manner as a property tax. This resolution
allows the City Clerk to certify to the Johnson County Treasurer the abatement cost to
be assessed against the property. This assessment is being pursued only after the City
took many steps to resolve the matter. The City notified the home owners to abate the
nuisance (for example, to remove snow from the sidewalk) and after the home owner
did not take action to abate the nuisance, the City abated the nuisance and billed the
owner. After being billed at least twice, these owners still have not paid the abatement
costs. The City has sent a letter to the home owner giving them notice that this
resolution would be on the agenda, a copy of which is attached to the resolution. No
interest will be charged if the owner pays within 30 days of the first required
publication. Attached as an exhibit to the resolution is a list of the properties that will
