The cost of extending these services goes way beyond a mlltton dollars alluded to earlier, lust for the so:~r, The long term costs are much greater and the next council- the councils before you and the councils after you Will hm to contend With the decision you make In this subdivision and other subdivisions, There was talk of, from what I undo:rstand, the Informal mevtlng, that there's pressure on the west side 01 Iowa City that the east side- elCCuse me, the east side of Iowa City has pressure on It that the west side it We develop there Will alleviate that I'm famlllar With Southwest Estates, and I don't know anyone in this town who hasn't read a Realtor's gUide lately that hasn't seen plenty 01 lots available on the west Side There's plenty of lots available on the east side thanks to your annexaUon beyond Scott Boulevard And so I UlInk what we're doing Is ~'re actually being penny' saving pennies and being pound foottsh at the same time, not to re-coln a phrase But I think In this particular case, I think It would behoove each and everyone of you to go Into the park that has this Mormon Burial ground In It to see what kind 01 environmental Impact a large subdIVision of tts kInd Will have on this very prIstine loWland woodland There are beaver dams In thiS parI: There's deer TMre's even a skun\: or two But I don't \:now which ones are wlltcll any more as lar as Ule s\:unks In this city go, because , r , I fJ i~~ r, E' h - .~c pag~ 2 what ~ n~ to do IS r~allz.: that d('v~lopm~nt bo?g~ttlng d~v~lopment IS nol a healthy thmg ~velopment on th~ periphery IS vory non -cost.et/octlve 10 the long term Also, I don't know, Ir memory serves me correcUy, but It seems like a locallzoo voodoo ~onomlcs at work her~, sUbsIdIZing a large scale upper class development when, on the other hand, on information IS the Housing Task Fore Mayoo a mtllton dollars Isn't a lot of money for you to s~nd but It IS tax pay.:rs dollars, and It was the lorty million dollar se~r tmtment plant that Ul~ taxpayers did pay ror So a million dollars Is still a lot or money to us taxpayers To put that In a larg~ corporaUon, such as Southgate, and not consider the long term costs,ls really- IS not really looking at the sltuaUon as clearly as other councils may 00 able to look at it In the ruture Ifl cl~lflg, I wouid ask that each memoor go out to this ar~a and s* the typt' or park land that IS there Consider environmental Impact statements ror thiS area, or even conSider that there won't 00 sidewalks here and It'll 00 OM acre tracts or land where I 1*1 there won't 00 access ror handicapped In motorIZed whool chairs or wheel chairs at all, Without sldowalks, and also str*ts that have no gutters I understand the whole picture looks really nice and It'd be nice to live on an acre or land Inside the city, but it-It's an expensive city to . live In and Ir those poople who want to live on parcels such as that should 00 asked to pay that price, not have the clUzens of Iowa City paying the price for Ulem And consider putung that mllllon dollars to USe In other areas that Will most oonefit.llke the Sycamore View project that you've alltoutOO as your token contribution to the poople In this community who have loss money to spt'nd on housing, Consider that a million dollars to them and the other citizens that are even moderate to middle income, llllnklng that this Is a bit exc&sslve, that tMre's no MOO to really compete With the county in this rashlon Thank you very much McDonald/ Thank you. Mr St John Is ti1&re anyone else who would like to address the council on this Item? More I close the public hearing on this, a couple of things. First or all, I do think that a million dollars Is a lot of monoy to anyone It certainly IS to all of us sitting up here The plan that was informally discussed last night, and what council Informally approved last night. IS a scaled down version of that. It's still gOing to amount to some money that's gomg to be rront endoo, but It's not going to 00 given over to tillS development Tllere are gOing to 00 services put In by Ule city, but Ulat money IS gOing to be recoupt'd by the city as those lots are sold and as dl.lvelopment occurs WI.l had tJ E' r, '8 ,,-, .4C page 3 McDI never had any tn~nUon ThiS counCIl had nev~r had any mll>nUon at any point In Ume to allocall> x number or dollars to any d~velop.:r to put as a gilt In order to put thIS type 01 development We dId agr~ Ulat we wantOO to InlUate and have the option ot thiS ty~ or d~velopm~nt WIthin the city limits and possibly parUclpate In some way But these tunds that are gOing to be used tor the extensIon 01 the services It IS going to be return(:(\ to the city as tM d~v~lopment taklfS place !:ubby I Can I ask a quesUon about thiS I was thtnklng about thiS last night and all 01 today I guess I'm not clear about repayment What we're talking about Is putting out a bond, figuring out all those costs 01 Inoorest and extranoous costs and dividing it by the number 01 acres to get a price per acre so that II somOOM comes In to our system they pay a certain amount I t comes back to the city MCDI Upon tM sale 01 tM pro~rty Kubby I How Wi! pay for Ulose bonds In Iteu or them being sold right away OOcause they are all not going to be buill right away-they are not all going to be sold right away, IS that sewer ra~s WIll pay the payment 01 tho bonds. Correct? McDI Sewer revenues. Kubbyl Through my sewer bill. McDI Money we have Within the sysoom Kubby I That means that individual ciUzens are paying. I guess that Is my qlllfStlon, Wllan Ulat money gets repaid to Ule city, I personally put extra money oul It Is above and beyond my taxes, WlIIl get money back.

McDI Do you want to comment on that Swve Atklns/lt Is a l&gal obligation, It has to come bad: Into the sower fund Larson/l just want to comct a couple 01 things that Mr Sl John said I applaud his Inoorest In city affairs but I can't let him leave the public With a mistaken Impression No tax payer IS paying for this development The city IS fronting the money to furnish the sewer Ilnes to the development only until those lots are sold and Ulen the money Is returned to the sewer revenue rund So that no one IS ,I tJ i~~ rl E, EI '4c pag& 4 Larsonl paying lor any dlivt>lopmi'nt Thi' city IS loaning to th& dlivt>lopm('nt by providing Ul& SlirVIC& up front Thlin It IS p,lId bacl: as soon as thli land Is d&velopOO The d~ISlon thv CIty council madvlast mght was rath&r than front th& s&w&r d&v&lopment for 900 plus acr&s, that vnUrv wal&r sh&d to 00 d&vt>lopOO In th& nvxt 30-40 y&ars Thatlt madt> mort> Slinsv to s~nd hall as much mOMY, 1150,000, to only d&velop thv part thatlook&d Immln&nUy developabl& tn the nvltt ten or lIflP.&n years Wh&n you ar& talking about our having a struggl& almost monthly With environmentally st>nslllv& devt>lopmt>nt Within our city ~ause of th& fact Ulat our city Is almost lull There ar& v&ry f&w vacant arm I&ft tn our city It mak&s a lot of sen~ to allow larg& lot d&v&lopm&nts so as to mlnlmiz& th& Impact on the environment. With regard to Wheel chair access, this developmvnt WIll 00 mQr(l aC(~lblo? to wMo?l chairs tMn almost any otMr In tM city because It Will have trails all through th& developmvnt and It Will have Wld& str&ets and certainly Will be more accesstbl& than any apartm&nt dmlopOO arlia tn town, It Is not gOing to hav& any city s&rvlc&s that are not going to be paid lor This developm&nt alone Will result In building in th& amount of 25, 30 million dollars on the tax rolls wMn It Is fully dmloped Talking about $200,000, 300,000 hous&s,on& per acre, and a hundr&d acrv area, To m& that Isn't giving a dev&loper anything. That Is allOWing the city to develop In a way that Is consistent With &nvlronmentally sensitive areas, that Is consistent Wltil wanting the city to have tnflll development that Is amenable to people that up to tills point hm been taking most of their plans for large houses outside the city, It Isn't a competition With tho county or city or anything else, It Is a question that If wo have some land that Is developable and peoplo want to develop, Let's make sure it is done In a way that Is sensitive to all the needs of the community We took great care to do lJ1al (don't UHnk Mr. Sl John's motivations and desires to see lJ1lngs develOP are improper. I think he was just given poor facts about wllat this development entails, It he kn&w those lacts he would be In agrooment With what W& did. I Invite you to talk some more about that.

Larsonl W& made a decision last night Courtney / This thing has bevn going on lor months St JOhnl You know and I know It has Imn and I am also aware that probably more real estate Will sale, more Insurance Will sale, and moro logal business Will be conjured up and then the people living In those homeS Will have more money to InVest, Mr Courtney. Courtney / So, what IS wrong With that, St John? Nothing is the matter With that Courtney lIt Is called economy, This economy Is in bad enough sha~, St, Johnl Fronting large multi-million dollar corporations Is not the way we want to do business In my community. That Is what I call, or at Imt on presidential candidate rolled who Is our President right now, voodoo economics Subsidizing the already haves, I think that Is something a more serious problem here I don't know how truly representative you are as a council II you are not responsive to what my concerns are, And I'm telllng you that I have spoken With dozens .hundreds of citizens about this same Issue Not only are they concerned about the environment, I have lound In the past and 1 don't know about the future Without watchdogs like mys&lf that you are not truly responsive about the environment I ask you II you have ever been In this park that adjOinS this pro~rty II no~ why not?

Discussion Kubby / I would like to say a little bit Last night ~ got Into a discussion that we frequently get Into about how tMse appointments are made From that I've learned that What Is helprul to council Is - What Is h~lpful for Randy and me, too, Is If people don't know you Is to call councilmembers so that we can get to know you more than just What IS on your application I think more than tha~ Is that we need to I~t Ule public know Ulat If you are Interested on being on a Board or Commission, that really Information on an application Is not quite ~nvugh, So ~ nm! to makq our application proVide morq Information or have a cover shoot saying a helpful hint Is to call council members and here are their phone numbers, I would be Interested In having us have a cover shoot so that If , not necessarily the oUlcla! rules, but or the real rules of the game are If people don't know your quallrtcations personally, that the application Is not enough, We need to make It fair. Have everyone lIave access to the Boards and Commissions, To let them know What the real rules are, They need to call a council member Larson/It Is helpful to me to know TAPE CHANGE TO REEL 90-63, SIDE 1 I, " , quallrtcations, More than what can show up on the application form. SO What you do sometimes Is ask rellow councilmemoors about hOw they feel about people they may know that hm applied to avoid giving that undue advantage to people that are part or an old boy or old woman type network, It Is helpful to at least me and I think Karen reels the same way. If you are Interested In applying for a Commission and you want to talk to a council member, we don't mind hearing from you at all. It IS not a burden or anything KUbby / But more than that. If you don't call and nobody knows What your abilities are, your chances are less, People lust need to know Ulat and I would like to facilitate getting that Information out. SO when people pick up an application they know W1lat they need to do to hm equal access to us knoWing their abtUties and getting a chance at being on a Board or Commission, Is anyone else Interested tn having a cover sheet With a sentence saying It Is a good Idea to call around and here are the numbers McD/ I don't know If It IS roally necessary to. I think ~ople are aware of Ulat. I get Ule Impression and maybe It's Ule wrong Impression And you are right, we've had this discussion many times , I I .[1 E' rl c, cl -9 pag~ 2 Karen/ (lust want to tak~ care of It A cover sh~t muld tal:e care of It McD/ ( get the ImpreSSion that you thInk Ume IS a conspiracy gOing on here on appointments There Isn't I have never run In to anyUllng There are no rules to the game There IS not a certain format that eXists that 1/ a ~rson IS Interested In serving that 1/ you do thiS, thiS, thiS, this and thiS, that guarantees that you are gOing to get appointed It IS a combination of things I think that Kubby / People Who are already Involve<! have a hlgh~r chance of being Involved on the Boards and Commissions oo<aus~ w: ar~ alllnvolve<\ In the community so we know people And (lust want to make that plaYing llo(d a IiUlo 4X\yal so Ulat mQre ~ple have a<<e~ to ~rvlng In this community, And ( don't think It IS conspiracy It Is lust a natural thing that hap~ns. That when there are three applicants and you know and there Is one o~nlng and couple people on councU know that ~rson and know that they are qualified. The othllr people may be lust as qualified but we can't really tell from the application. And so, even though your Intent IS not that b&(au~ you know them they have a better chance, that's What hap~ns, ('m trying to find an easy way that Is no big deal. Wo can use S(rap pa~r. I'm not going to stand by the city clerks office and tell overybody this, Courtney II don't think It Will make any dlHerence to me, It tm people aro equally qualified and I know one personally and not the other one, I'll tell you Which way ('m gOing to go, Just b&(au~ ( got a phone call from the other ~rson doesn't mean I'm gotng to vote for them Kubby I I'm saying you can ask them questions and find out more about who they are, They can have a choice Ulen to know that that Is helpful, It d~sn't guarantee anybody anything, Courtney I Personally, ('ve been called many times over the years by people wanting to explain their virtues and qualifications for Boards, I'm not disappointed With the caliS I got Kubby / Since I've been on the councU there has been one ~rson, and that IS Robin, who w: got tonight on th& HOUSing Commission Ulat nobody knew and nobody got a phone call from McD/ Since you'vo been on? I can't tell you how many calls I've gotten through the years I lust don't think It necessary I think peoplo are aware. Kubby / What your saying ts that some poople do call you but those people don't get appointed Because we know nothing about them except What IS on pa~r I'm not trYing to make thiS Into a big Issue, A cover sheet seems like a Simple Ullng tJlat doosn't sound very objectionable might be muld be helpful to poople o ;~~ 'I [I t] '9 page 3 Nov / I have just one objection, I don't feel too comfortabl& with this because It may app&ar on the cover sheet that everyone must call seven councUmembers It they apply for a Commission. I r&ally don't think they have to do that. I don't want to suggest that they do that Kubby I Wel1, you don't say cal1 al1 councUmemoors, You say that 1t'ls helpful to cal1 a few, Here Is everybody's number. McD/I'm happy with the system that we have, Karen, Kubby I I lust wanted to voice that out loud and nobody el~ Is Interested. McDI I'm sure this subject s*ms to 'vm~ up from tlm~ to tlm~, I think that Is tine, It gives the opportunity to, as ~ go through our discussion, for poople to get an understanding of how It works. As I told you last night, sometimes It can work against poople It you happ&n to know them, too, Kubby / I haven't seen that too often, As often as the other, Thanl: you for hearing me.

It's human nature to get defensive, I'll continue to get defensive Larson/ Were you talking about anyone spectflc Kubby / I think It Is fine to challenge citizens as they challenge us, I think that Is really hoalthy. But sometimes It gets to the point that I get really uncomfortable with It There are dlllerent ways to expr~s your defenslven~s. I would like council members to think about that.

But on thiS particular development ~ are Wllllng to be Involve lor ten to lifteen yms And I guess I didn't Interpret that to be a lorm 01 corporate aid which TAPE CHANGE TO REEL 90,33, SIDE 2 I guess I disagree Wltll Daryl that It Isn't leap Irog development It may be out 01 our control That we can't lacllltate development on the University, although I don't necessarily think that Is true elUler, But, Indeed, It Is leap Irog development And that the way our Comp, Plan Is sot rortll tllat ~ have made a policy that tr you are not doing contiguous development then the developor pays ror thoso costs. I understand the logic or the reasons or other council members wanting to decide to do It dirrerenUy. But I disagree. And, therelore, I'm going to vote no Courtney / How do you propose that we have any Input to the development 01 University owned properly wilen councils ror a hundred years haven't been able to have any Input, Kubby /1 don't think that ~ talked to the University very much. Courtney/It doesn't matter. They don't have to comply With any 01 our zoning regulations and zoning codes or anything. Kubby / And that Is the price or doing business on the particular piece 01 property That II tlle developer wants to do It then that Is the price that they pay. Itls a nice piece 01 land There are gOing to be big houses. I am not convinced that they are gOing to be sold so quickly Although they might be tapped on more quickly than they are sold I still.there Is just this thing nagging me that this Is a lorm or corporate ald. I do understand that we are going to be paid back, tllat It Is a loan and not a subsidy. I understand that I don't like tlle city being Involved lor that long 01 time to help one development McDI First 01 all, we talk to tlle University all the time All the time It Is continual Public Works probably has contact- Kubby / In tills particular one I know Ulat we have tJ i~~ 'I t] .c, '13 page 2 McDI Not only that but on alllssuo?s Wf! rf!ally do Thm Is constant dialogue going on It nf!ver Cf!aS~s Second 01 all Your statement on-when was It fiver stated by council or anyone SlUing on thiS body that ~ wanted to get In and out 01 Sycamore View Kubby / That IInanclally McD/ We reviewed a lot 01 dlflerent options That was one option that WIJ had If you remember correctly, we talk&<! about lour or five dltterent thin&$ that Wf: might bot atl~ to do to per!>>tu3oo that type 01 thing. Kubby / Right, But not With the city tvlng lnvolv&<! Courtney / I worked at length last night to come up With some sort 01 a plan to perpetuate that money Irom the land It all went lor naught, Larson/ I think Sycamore View is an exactly analogous to What we aro dOing with Walnut Ridge oo<au~ In Walnut Ridge we are Irontlng the money for the sewer 11M and ~ are going to get back In ten or ftl~n years through the tap on fee or In a period of time Including ten or ftlteen years. It may be much less than that It may be somewhat more, No one can know lor sure, Why I think that Is exactly analogous to Sycamore View Is that In Sycamore View we are prOViding the land for Iree, And ~ are not going to get back until that property Is sold. And as our stall members told us last nlgh~ they anticipate that probably two thirds 01 those properties will not be sold. That poople will move Into them and live In tllem the rest 01 thlllr lives. ~use that Is kind 01 pattern With that income level that once they get Into one house They may just stay there lor the Whole time, They have never had a house belore That's Why I think It Is Identical. We make an Investment 01 giving them that land,just keeping a silence second mortgage so that they can't sell the land and get a Wlndlall proUt from it I guess that Is where I thought what we are being criticized for earlier was without basis We're ext&ndlng a loan to an area 01 land to tv developed for the future tvneUt 01 the community. We are doing the same thing In the Sycamore View project We are extending that land Iree for those people to live tllere and not asl:lng for It back for mayoo many years It Is also analogous to me, lor Instance, In building a street at the &<!ge 01 town like $(ott Blvd, We are Investing In the future development 01 that area, It may be many years until the area IS fully develOped to take advantage 01 that autobahn we got out there But we decide as a council wll&ther dlllerent expenditures are Investments to Inlrastructure towards the future or not, I think II you can make a I , , Ii I i I 1 ( tJ E~ 'I "I n 113 page 3 Larson/ criticism 01 government over the past twenty yms IS that they haven't InvestOO enough In Inlrastructure to develop to Ul& luture Inlrastructure Is bridges and roads and ~W&rs I think It Is a good thing to do lor your community when you have a community that Is ratOO OM of the top two or thr~ groWing communities In the slaw That Is why I'm really to do this I doesn't hm anything to do With Southgate Development It has to do With lactthat It Is hard to ltnd good land to develop In Iowa City. 'don't think this IS leap lrog \)&cause the University oolng In oot~n means ll1at W& are !lot I&ap lrogglng over a bunch 01 vacant land \)&cause It Is not as desirable or oxponslve or as marketable to sell, They are leap lrogglng land ll1at they can't develop \)&cause the University, not having to pay taxos on It, Will koop it lor twenty or thirty years to SOO Illl1ey ever do have a need lor Il There Is no cost assoclatOO to them They don't want to 00 in the private development business That's why I think It a wt~ declston for us. And 'just think that It Is not looking at Ul~ closely enough to soo it as an unWise decision 'recognize that you think everyone has put a lot 01 thought Into Il 'can understand a view point that would say W& don't n&Od to do all these kinds 01 Investments In luture growth because mayoo you don't want as much future growth as we've had. But I think It you bellm that W& no&<! to Invest In these kinds 01 things to enable good types 01 progress, then I think this ts a pretty easy vow, That is why I'll vote In lavor olll Nov /1 think, Randy, willie you are on this business of sewer lines You forgot to say tho city did put In S9W&r lines In Sycamore View Without tap on fees, Larson/ Sure. An instance Where W& did more for a low Income type constituency then wo are doing for Southgate D&velopment Kubby II think that Is whm W& Mod to concentrate There are not houses, there are vory lew hOuses $65,000 and below There are houses In the country, there are housos In town that are not old and that are at Ule upper Income bracket I f~lthat W& nood to aid that market as much as W& need to aid the other Larson/ Well, there Is no doubt that W& ne&<! to aid the low Income housing markel Jthlnk that we aro doing a couplo of things. We have all acknowledged that Sycamore Vlow ts the ltrst step, We have also put together the Housing Task Force which is having tholr meeltngs. Wo hoping that we can get more aggressive I think people lelt like Sycamore View was a test prolect I do want to correct a little about wilen we lronted the money for the sewer lines tnto Sycamore View Wo are going to get that paid back We got a loan Irom the staw,a no , , , a e ' I " , , I #13''1'1 Interest loan Irom the state to pay for that work We are gOing to charge Ulat back from the prof>'lrty taXI?S Ulat we receive once those buildings are built and sold Again, that's not a gill It Is the same kind of thing We m investing In Il We are gOing to get It back, Thore Is no subsidy there. I think they are reaUy pretty analogous Kubby / Except for that the state of the people who are gOing to live there, I guess I'm lust hoping to start rejX'ating mysell I don't believe, I think thiS kind of development IS gOing to hap~n on Its own, You don't neod to help out Tho lower Income development is not gOing to hapjX'n unless we become part of It Larsonl That was certainly an option. To lust say no here and ho~ that the large lot development occurred Without any Incentive or encouragement by the city That's the pollcy decision that we are making.

Now we have to walt anyWhere lrom II to 26 days belore we can receive payment alter our billing. Bocause 01 the dlrrtculti~ we have had WIth Ulem we would hope Ulat you would support us In continuing to require them to pay by elUler cash, caShiers Check or some type of money order to guarantoo payment Larson/ A money order Is not a hard thing to get, Is It? Atkins! No. This Is a big company. Every time we have to walt 11.26 days It Simply m~ans that all ol our cu'tomers at the landfill Who pay th~tr bills prompuy end up SUbsidizing this operation Because that IS loss of Income for us, ObVIOUSly we deposit it and get it Inv~ted prompUy. We have told them.. This has ~n going on for years. For one year they were really good and then they are right back Into Ule same old habits, One In seven checks bounce or are returned to us WiUllnsufflclent funds, Larson! My only concern Is If they have had adequate notice that we weren't going to tolerate It anymore. Atklns/ I can give you letter allor letter that has been sent to these folks Larson/ I'm pretty understanding by average folks bouncing a check. But When a big company bounces Ulem routinely over Ule years, Atkins! They use an out of Ule area bank If Uley simply had an account at a local bank here the thing could be turned around In a matter of a couple of days, Larson/ Just so people understand that we told people they had to pay their landfill charges by cashier's check They bounced SO many checks. Gentry / Isn't part of the charge account agreement, Atkins/ No, Ulls Is a different one We have another genUeman who was so delinquent that we were about to shut him down Gentry! No The new land account,charge account The agreement that we drafted that would commence July I Included that prOVISion right up front That If they bounce their check Uley would have to pay In cash Larson/ I would be supportive 01 supporUng staff's position Mainly because I don't think sending In a cashier's check Instead of a regular check Is that big 01 deaL McD/ Okay That's line I have a motion and a second to adlourn Motion carrtes I i a E~ " ;~, j:' - City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM DA TE: September 28, 1990 TO: CIty Council FROM: City Manager RE: Informal Agendas and Meeting Schedule ~ October 1. 1990 6:30 . 8:30 P,M, 6:30 P,M, 6:50 P.M, 7:05 P,M, 7:20 P,M, 7:45 P,M, 8:00 P.M, 8:10 P.M, 8:15 P.H, Monday Council Chambers .
