15, ENTITLED "LIBRARY PARKING" TO REQUIRE LIBRARY PATRON PARKING
SIGNAGE TO NOTIFY THE DRIVER THAT THE LIBRARY HOURS ARE POSTED
ON THE LIBRARY DOOR. (SECOND 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. Staff recommends expedited action.

CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN AND THE CITY
CLERK TO ATTEST A CHAPTER 28E AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF IOWA
CITY, IOWA AND THE CITY OF CORALVILLE, IOWA FOR THE PROVISION OF
ANIMAL CARE SERVICES.
Comment: The City's current 28E Agreement with Coralville for animal care services will
terminate on June 30, 2006 at Coralville's request. Since receiving the notice to
terminate from Coralville, City staff has negotiated a new 28E Agreement, which
Coralville approved at its meeting on June 13. The current agreement required
Coralville to pay for services based on assessed property values and also provided
Coralville with certain rights to use and occupy the animal care facility and to appoint
members to the Animal Care and Adoption Board. The proposed agreement provides
that Coralville will pay a daily boarding fee for each animal and that it will not have the
right to use and occupy the facility nor have the right to appoint any members to the
advisory board.

CONSIDER A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING AN ANIMAL CARE TASK FORCE.
Comment: Also on the agenda is a proposed 28E Agreement with Coralville for animal
care services, which in part calls for establishing an Animal Care Task Force. There is
no substantive difference between this resolution and Paragraph 8 of the proposed
28E Agreement. The present Animal Care and Adoption Center Board will cease to
exist when the current 28E Agreement terminates on June 30, 2006. This resolution
should only be considered if Council approves the proposed 28E Agreement.
