I have prepared a subject outline of the material I would like to see in the Plan. It is comprehensive because we should evaluate water quality, quantity and emergency water supply needs. We should fully and objectively consider all reasonable water supply resources and evaluate our present treatment plant processes and equipment. We should expect to see recommendations for both structural (constructionl improvoments and non-structural solutions such as policies, rates or regulations. We really have nothing much to work with from the past engineering studies which were done specifically for the water plant. We basically have a process which has not changed much in the last 100 years. In the 19th century people were concerned with prevention of water-borne diseases in the water supply. Now we are also concerned with carcinogens, toxins, spills, and aesthetic values. It is a much more sophisticated issue. The timing is good to begin now because we are completing work on several capital improvement projects which were primarily needed for increasing storage or replacing worn out machinery. These projects include I .,new 1,000,000 gallon treated water storage tank in the U of I parking ramp ..new 3000 gallon per minute high service pump ..rebuilding the well pump and 4 other pumps ..complete replacement of the computer control system including all field instruments and meters ..replacement of the electronic meter reading system for customer meters The University of Iowa just completed a substantial addition to their treatment plant in 1989. The extra capacity will allow temporary help when some of our plant must be shut down for reconstruction or replacement. ~ - 'I 9~1 tJ :. I .' 1 o'-f r/. Thoro is heightened awarone&s to tho shortcomings of our supply within tho last few yoars duo tOI . .drought ..wator which is vory difficult to troat ..high nitrAto and agricultural chomicAls ..chomicAl spills and emorgoncy situAtions Tho most significant factors howovor aro tho rolAtivoly new EPA drinking wAtor regulAtions which wo will not bo ablo to moot.

The plaintiff', petition for writ of certiorari rai.ea i8luII invo1vinq the authority of judicial maqiatratea to order tho abatement of a nuiaance defined by ordinance aa a municipal infraction. The authority of cities to define nui.ance. and the .cope of the municipal infraction .tatute are aho at iuue. Becauae we believe the maqiatrate haa authority to order the abatement of a municipal infractlon, we .ustain the writ. The city of Iowa City brouqht an action in September of 1999 aqainst Hubert Yeqqy charqinq him with violatinq a city ordinance concerninq nuiaancea. The city ordinance declarea certain condition. are nuiaances. A qeneral penalty proviaion dechrea any failure to perform any act required by city ordinance is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of one hundred dollars or impriaonment not to exceed thirty days. Code of Ordinances of Iowa City 5 1-9 (1988). The city code a180 provide. any ordinance violation i. a municipal infraction. Code of Ordinances of Iowa City 5 1-21. Yeqqy waa accu..d of committinq a municipal infraction by allowinq junk or aalvaqe materials to be collected and to remain upon hi. property. See Code of Ordinance. of Iowa City 5 24-101(a). The city souqht a civil penalty of thirty dollars plus coats and tho removal of tho junk and salvage materiala. The charqe wa. tried to a judicial maqiatrate who found Yoqqy guilty of the 97(, a :' I I:' [I e ' 1 municipal infraction. Thl magiatrate fined Yeggy thirty dollan and ordlred him to remove thl junk and uhagl materiala from thl property. Yeggy appealed to the district court, and the appeal was heard by a d1atrict uaoc iate judge. The court affirmld the judgmlnt and imposition of a finl but found the magistrate did not have jurisdiction or authority to order the nuisance be abated. The court concluded the city did not havo the power to give mag1atratea, through municipal infractions, tho.e powers to abate given to the district court under Iowa Code chapter 657. The city filed a motion to roconlider with the district court. In denying the motion, the court noted that cauaing a public or common-law nuisance is an aggravated misdemeanor under Iowa Code aection 657.3 and, therefore, it could not be made a municipal infraction. ~ Iowa Code 5 364.22(3). See allo Iowa Code 5 602.6405 (judicial magistrate has no jurisdiction over aggravated misdemeanors). The court further noted abatemlnt might cost more than the $2000 civil limitation on a magistrate's jurisdiction. ill Iowa Code 55 631.1(1), 631.2(1). We granted the plaintiff'a petition for writ of certiorari. . A writ of certiorari shall be granted when a court exceeds ita proper jurisdiction or otherwise acts illegally. Iowa R. Ch. P. 306.

HUlndlinQ Y. Jensen, 168 N.W.2d 74~, 749 (Iowa 1969). In 1986, the legislature palled an act authorizing cities and countl88 to iltalllhh civil penaltiOll for violations of ordinances. ~ 1986 Iowa Acts ch. 1202. The act allows creation of a new type of ordinance violation called a 'municipal infraction.' ~ 1986 Iowa Acts ch. 1202, 5 2 (codified at Iowa Code 5 364,22 ,( 1987)), Hunicipal Infractions are civil offln.es punishable by a civil penalty of not more than one hundred dollars. Iowa Code 5 364,22 (1), A municipal infraction 11 not pun1lhable by imprisonment. Iowa Code 5 364.3(6). In addition to the civil penalty, a city may seek alternative rellef from the court in the same action. Iowa Code ,; , S 364,22(8). When a person i. found guilty of a municipal infraction, the court may impoae a civil penalty or may grant appropriate relief to abate or halt the violation, or both. Iowa Code 5 364.22(9), In 1987, the legislature paased an act relating to the use of county and municipal infractiona. ~ 1987 Iowa Acts ch. 99. The act provides that magistrates have juriadiction of county and municipal infractions, ~ 1987 1/71, tJ ,,:',1 t-' [I ~, 5 Iowa Act. ch. 99, S 7 (codified at Iowa Code S 602.6405(111SuPp, 1987)1. The act alto prohibit. a city from creatinq a municipal infraction 'if the violation i. a felony, an aqqravated miademeanor, or a .erioul mi.demeanor under state law or if the violation i. a limple miademeanor under chapten 687 throuqh 647.. 1987 Iowa Acta ch. 99, S 4 (codified at Iowa Code S 364.22(3)(Supp. 19871). The city had authority to define a nuil4nce by ordinance and to provide that a violation of ita nui.ance ordinance is a municipal infraction. Cities have authority under Iowa Code section 364.1 to inve.tiqate, to declare, and to seek abatement of nuisances. City of Cedar Falls v. Flett, 330 N.W.2d 2S1, 255 (Iowa 1983)1 Town of Grundy Center v. Marion, 231 Iowa 42S, 433, 1 N.W.2d 677, 681 (1942). Cities now may provide that a violation of an ordinance is a municipal infraction. Iowa Code S 364.22(2). It 11 true that a city cannot create a municipal infraction if the violation is an aqqf4vated misdemeanor under state law. Iowa Code S 364.22(3). However, causinq a nuisance i. an aqqravated m1ldemeanor under state law only 'where no other punishment therefor 11 specially provided,' Iowa Code S 657.3, ~ Jasper County v. Sparham, 12S Iowa 464, 466, 101 N.W, 134 (1904). The statutory .cheme allows cities to provide othor penalties for violatinq a nuiaance ordinance, and, thus, section 364.22(3) did not limit the city'S authority. 97(, o ::' I I:' t] ,S - 6 In any eVlnt, thl fact that caullnq a nu1lancI may bl an .q9r.v.tld mi,demeanor undlr .tate law in .oml In.tancl. dOl. not prevent a maqiltrate from hearlnq the mattlr wherl lt ia a municipal infractlon. The jurildictlon of maqi.tratl. Ixprea.ly include. municipai lnfractionl. Iowa Codo S 602.6405(1). We conclude thl maqiltratl had authorlty to order thl abatement of the nuisance. The atatute allows the clty to ,eek 4lt!lrMtive relief in the 84me action. Iowa Code S 364.22(8). When a judqment haa been entered, the court may impOle a clvil penalty or may qrant approprlate relief to abate or halt the violation, or both. Iowa Code S 364.22(9). The juriadiction of the district court 11 exercilld by d1ltrict judqes, diatrict auoclate judqes, and maqiltratea. Iowa Code S 602.6104 (1) . When the maqiltratl's juriadiction waa expanded in 1987 to include municipal infractiona, maqiltratel were qiven the authority of the court to abate or halt the violation of municipal infraction ordinances under section 364,22(9). Accordin91y, ~he maqistrate lawfully could order abatement of the nuilllnce. The authority of maqistratos to enforce the provisions of chapter 657 il not at issue, and the limitations on the small claima jurisdiction of ma9istrates are not applicablo, Moreover, the question aa to the procedure for enforcinq the ordor of abatement is not before ua now.
