McO/ Moved by Ambr, s<<cnd by Larson to glvt IlIls first conslderaUon,
Discussion,
Kubby / Thert are membors of PIZ here, I gUtSS In Il1Js parUcular rezoning
\W haven't really talked about traffic or anyllllng, It has really only
come to my aUonUon from IlIls letwr rocelved tonight Which I fool I
really don't have time to read, Was llIat part of any of llIe PIZ
diSCussion, ThO traHlc concerns or addlUonal traHlc control measures,
Dick Glbson/903 Iowa Stroot I am a memoor of llIe Commission, I have
two mootings of llIe Commission so far, Yes,llIls was discussed, Ther.
was considerable discussion conc.rnlng ~tback for Ill. d.v.lopmtnt
on llIe property, Ill. .ntranc. of Ill. property to llIe road, grading of
llIe road, and llIose sorts of maUm IllIlnk was given probably
adoqua~ consideration,
Kubby / So llIose kinds of IlIlngs are oolng Incorporated Into llIe plat
Gibson/ And llIe plat moots WIlli total approval or llIe Commission at IlIls
time,
Larson/ Dick, does It 500m r.asonabl.lllat most of Illoso concerns are really
r.lated to Whellltr wt do any capllallmprov.m.nt of IlIt road Itself
ralll.r Illan If wt do any dmlopment along It It 500ms like wt havo
had petitions In Ille past from neighbors out Illere and Ille problem Is
Islllat Ille road doesn't have any shoulders and Isn't very WIde and all
llIose kinds of Illlngs,
Gibson/I am not sure Illat Illere was agrooment on Illat point among Ille
Commission, We didn't push It to Illat point The staff took Ille
attitude Illat Illat road was going to have to be Improved and
d.v.loped at some point In Ill. futur.. And IllIlnk Ill. propondtranct
Ill. Commission agreed Wlllllllat And Ille malor Issut had to do WIlli
Ille ~tback of Ille development from Ille R,O.W.
Larson/ That was Ille focus or your discussion I noticed but wore Iller. a lot
of people Illat spoke and could you ~II Whelller Illelr problem was
WIlli traHlc on Ille road or was llIelr prOblem WlllIllIe development
Gibson/I recalllllat Ille only pUblic discussion wt had occurred before you
and had to do Wlllllllat water runoff problem on Illat oilier property,
Larson/Is Illat llIe rest of you's rocolloction, W. have had concerns over Ille
last year or two about prOblems but It 500ms to mo Illat Illey wore
about Illo fact Illat Illore Is bike traHlc on Ille road, Illere Is no
shoulder, Illere are ditches next to It, llIere Is a lot of uarrlc on llIe
road for a road of Illat typo. I am having trouble, I don't want to turn
down a development just becau~ wt haven'~ as a capital
Improvement projoc~ doclded to do Ille Illlngs to Illat road Illat It Is
eventually going to need yet Is Illat kind or how you see It

Hov I this letter Is basically asking tor road Imprmments,
Larsonl That Is right. 'don't lblnk It Is against lbe development. It Wt are
going to have lbtst dmlopments lben lbe road has got to bo stepped
up to. 'lblnk lbat Is somelblng lbat \I/O are going to have to take a
look at next year.
McD/1 lblnk \I/O Will have to addr~ It at some poln~ yes,
Courtney I this Is lbe property lbat \I/O talked about earlier lbat had some
water runoft and Steve, I lblnk \I/O started almost a ym ago
discussion lbls one on one, We had pictures, Has lbere bHn any
attompt by lbe developer at all to alleviate lboso problems,
Atklnsl EvldenUy lbere have bHn a number ot discussions betwoen lbe
dmloper and lbe property owners Involved. My understanding, and
, don't have all ot lbe details, Chuck Is In lbe audlence.he Is shaking
his head no lbat he Isn't recollecting, I spoke to Rick about It.
EvldenUy lbls Is prior to our grading and erosIon control ordinance, It
has some kind ot private storm drainage through lbere and there Is
really very IIWe \I/O could do other than do some arm tWlsUng, Ijust
don't have It In tront ot me now. I Will try to tlnd out more oot\IrWn
now and lbe next time tro you,
Courtney II gu~ I am prepared to do some arm tWisting tonight bocause It
Is a serious problem, Enough so that water actually runs lbrough
doorways and' am not gOOd enough Wllb water t10wage statistics to
know Whether U1ls Is going to cause more problems or loss problems
or Whatever.
Atklns/l am not any gOOd at thoso things ellber. So I Will have to tlnd out
tor you.
Kubby I Bocauso lbe erosion control and grading ordinance applies here. Is
lbat a place to negotiate some ot lbls too.
Atklnsl I just don'tknow. I Will have to tlnd out tor you,
Gentry I this Is lbe tlrst , have heard about It. I can't answor your question
ellber.
Hov I Find out What kind ot controls \I/O have In or storm water
requirements, Can \I/O say that It your storm water plans didn't work
you are required to tlx.
Atklns/l lblnk that was looked at. I am almost positive lbat lbere wasn't
any way \I/O could go back retroactively. bill and Daryl bolb raised lbe
Issue some Ume ago about It.
Glbsonl This concern lbat Is bolng expressed tonight was shared by several
memoors ot the Pf/. Comm, and \I/O wore advised by legal staft lbat It
Is really not a matter tor us to bo concernoo about. 'think It had a

of Pfl at this time. DiscussIon,
Kubby II have one quick quosUon. When the recommendaUon Is re~nUon
of existing vogelatlon to the exttnt possible. Does that give load way
for construction dostrucUon, I think the building comos right to the
line of the dedicated land. So they Will nm some room to get
machInery In there, won't they. Is that WIly to the extent possible Is
In there. Or Is there some other reason, Is that the reason. Okay,

Ann Bovblorg/1710 Ridge Road, I han an InvltaUon for you tonight I am
s~aklng tonight from tho Log, of Womon Votors and also on bobalt of
T. Sltvens of tho I,C. Chambor of Commorce, We would like to Invito
you to an o~n public forum, If the voUng on the sports complex,
parks complex, Napolean Park redevelopment Is going to be on June
25, Wt are going to have a public forum one week and a day ahead of
Ume: Monday, June 17. It Is going to be at the Iowa City Public
Ubrary , 7 . 9, at night It will bt as public as Wt can havo It If W&
are going public on public Itlevlslon W& will have tolophonts, open
mlc" peoplo aro wolcome to come and ask about It We want to look at
all the plans and the financing and the concerns of tho people and tho
voting proct5S. What It Is all going to enlall, We Invllt all of you to
come as rosourcts, as IIsltners, as questioners, We will have a panel
of people Wt will s.lect to give specific ansW&rs but Wt would lIke as
broad as discussion as possible and this will also be rebroadcast
through cable T.V.
McO/ Thank you, Ann.
Lyone Fein/ The city council received a lettor which was wrltton by mys.1t
and s.veral other residents of Iowa City and residents who chose me
as a spokes~rson for a group of people who are concerned about the
upcoming referendum on the parks and sports complex. I guess I just
wanted to say a couple of things publicly for the record for general
Information purposes, Tho first thing I would like to do Is respond to
something that Mr. Watson said In an arUcle that appeared In the
Press Citizen yesltrday. His slaltment was In response to a point In
our lettor In which W& quesUoned the ethicalness or the P/R Comm,
distributing Information In the bulleUn which they s.nt out to the
residents of Iowa City. Which W& assume tha~ at least a porUon of,
was funded by the tax payers of the city, Mr, Watson sald,ln
response to our crlUclsm of this acUon, W& should expect our public
s.rvants to explain why they want to raise taxes, To argue that Wt
shouldn't just doesn't soon very raUonal. I would like to.and also he
addresses that In the letter which I bollm you have from him also
which I haven't gotton yet I lust got tonight In the letltr he says
that finance disclosure law permits the city to expend funds for
InformaUonal purposes which Is what the Insert does, I would just
like to go on record as arguing that I don't feel tha~ nor do s.veral of
the other people who drafted the letltr, feel that the bulleUn stopped

at lust Information and that they aU.mp~ In a very luUe way to
porsuade the vooors of Iowa City by stating that Ibe proposod parks-
sports complex Is noode<! When In fact Ibe purposo of 1M referendum
for the vooors of Iowa City Is to de~rmlne Whelber or not It Is netdod,
That Is just What I wan~ to say about Ibat I would liko furlber to
say that the pooploln our association, Assocla~ Rtsldonts Against
Ibe Sports COmplex, Which Is a IiWo bit of a mlsnomor for our group
are not out and out opposed to a sports complox Wojust f"llbat this
particular referendum leaves much to bt dtslred, Thero art poopleln
Ibo association Who would like to ~ a sports complex and foollbat
Ibo dmlopmont proposed for us to voto on Is proUy Inadoqua~ and
Ibat Ibore hasn't Imn a lot of aJ~rnatives suggos~ for funding of
Ibe complex. Uke u~rs fees, asking ~ams Who rogls~r to u~ Ibe
aroa to pay a ~asonal foo, things of Ibat naturo, Charging peoplo
maybt for parking. dollar admission, Iblngs Ukelbat ovor tho cour~
of Ibo ~n yoars for Which Ibo tax ley Is proposed,
Kubby, When you say Inadequa~, do you mean In torms of spectrum of
activltits. That Is kind of What I got from your lottor.
FOlnl Yts. Pooplo. In ~rms of spectrum of activities and also In ~rms of
exploring how tho oxlsting facilities Wllbln tho city can be revampod
and used for Ibe purposes Ibat complox would bt used for. Which
would, Ilmaglno, roqulroloss money than $4.9 million, And
revamping tho facilities that already exist would maintain Ibolr
accessibility bocau~ Ibo proposed complex Is In an area llIat Is proUy
far out of Ibo main stream of activities In Iowa City. It Is soulb of the
highway off of Sycamore Stroot Which means It WIll be accessible to
poople WlIb cars and Iblngs Ukolbal Kids would depend on their
parents fro transportation to and from ovonts, I guess I lust have a
few moro things to say. I just want to remind poopleln goneral of the
olller Issues coming btforo Iowa City vooors that aro asking us for
monoy. There are a couple of Iblngs coming up very soon In the fall.
The Issue of a new elementary school and a request from Ibe Iowa
City Public Ubrary for funds. But also In about a year, maybt a IIWe
longer, we are going to have to do somelblng about our wa~r supply
Which Is, I say the tapo of Ibe city council mooting about a monlb ago,
Ilblnk Ibe cost of S 15 million was mentioned Which Ilblnk Is an
Important thing to remind people of, That ibis Is an exponditurelbat
WIll bt going on also, I would just like people to consider llIelr
priorities, The last Iblng Ibat I want to mention Is Ibat llIe main
concern of this association Is Ibat poople Wh 0 have any problem WIth

this relerendum, as It Is being brought belore the vo~rs, should vo~,
Poople on either side should volo but our concern that poople lust
don't let thlng~ slide and that Is our main purpose lor writing leUm
and being In the publiC lorum,
Nov I We assume that you will show up on June 17,
Felnl Yes,
Courtney II would like to take particular exception to a couple 01 times, One
Items In particular under '21n your lelter where you are talking
about lack ollaclllties In this complex and then go Into duplication 01
laclllties. You slate that tho proposod complox lacks lacllJties lor
swimming, tonnls, ....ete, Would you have the P/R Comm. and the
people supporting this put another swimming pool out there alter wo
lust spent S3 million on the one on Mercer,
Felnl No. I think tJ\e purpose 01 this list was to point ou~ and Swimming Is
just one Item on this list 01 sports activities, the purpose Is to point out
that It ~ms that the proposed complex would certainly serve the
Interest 01 the 4,500 people who would use the soccer lie Ids and the
solUlaIl diamonds but that Iowa City's populaUon Is much greater than
that and people are Involved In many other typos 01 acUvlties. Some
01 wtllch don't have lacllJties at all In this city. And that wo lelt that a
desIgn which Included more sports activlUes.a proposal which
Included more sports acUvlties In Its design would serve more than
lust 4,500 people.
Courtney I So your contenUon Is Is that It Is a misnomer to call It a parks and
sports complex. That we could be calling It a sollball and soccer
complex.
Felnl RlghL
Courtney I Which Is line with me. 'lust had to take exception, We spent
almost this amount 01 money on a swimming pool just a tew years
back.. We have tennis courts In town, we have lots 01 basketball
courts, /latos tleld has one 01 the Ilnest outdoor track and /lied
taclllUes In the state. 'would be the tlrst not to want to duplicate
those things. Just so happens that the only sport that has nothing In
this town Is so<<er, The soccor games are currenUy being played In
neighborhood parks that are not designed lor soccer. They are not
level tlelds, Many Umes , have 800m excellent shots on goal go out
because the tleld slants like this, It Is the one sport that does not have
Its own lacillty. That Is what starlOO this,
Felnl Some ot Ule people In the association question the need tor a city the
size ot Iowa City to have 17 soccer tlelds,

" aro In Iowa Clly, The Instlt In thero Is a plcture-one of them Is
lhe sports compltx down south and tht other one Is llapoltan POlk,
tho proposOO, Jusl a diagram,
Feln/Bulthero Is also literature, This enUro front pago here. The Inside
front com Is devoted to what I consider an endorstmont of tho sports
complex.
Gontry Iln my opinion, Ills InformaUon thal was considered by both clly
stall and tho P/R Comm as ~II as the Clly Council, It Is alroady
public InformaUon, It has botn In the nowspapor, Ills roally a
rehash of tho public InformaUon,
Felnl The Issue was With the way It was presonted. That Is actually a good
polnl We ~ren't saying that the public shouldn'l be educated about
the upcoming referendum.
Gentry II should hOpo nol They certainly should be educated,
Folnl The Issue Is With the fact thal about half of what Is written hero Is
under the UUo Why Is It Notded, Again, I want to state that I bGUtvt
tho Ust of tho word needed Is erroneous and can porsuado people In a
vory suUo way bteaUst what Is supposo to be decided on June 251s
whethor W9 fool that It Is needed.
Gontry I But again, Ills factuallnformaUon. Tho Commission foil strongly
that It was notded and Included their reasons and It Is up to tho
voters to decldo whother thoy agr.. With tho Commission or nol And
I hopo pooplo go out and vote yes or no. As long as thallnformaUon
doesn'l say vote yes or vote no, Ills nol penuesln.
Larsonl Just so pooplo understand tho context of this discussion. Ills
against the law to spont clly monoy to porsuado on a bond
referendum wherolt Is okay and obviously our duly to glvo out
InformaUon and holp facilitate discussion, It Is lust a quesUon of
whether this Is porsuaslon or If this Is InformaUonal.

McO/1 don't remember any favors recenUy from the Board of Regents

other way and I am Ure of Il I sat quiet for throo and half years and
I listened to other council members grumble tn private and I gu0S9 I
don't care as much. I don't understand It
Courtney I Even though I tend to agree with all of theso arguments, I
remember bringing up the same subject a few years back when there
was a public works project going on and asking about It and was told
by Englnoorlng that there are lots of Umos that they give us the
easoments and acc0S9 to run our uUIIUos and we give It back to them,

McDI City CounclllntormaUon,
Kubby II had two things, One Is a follow up about the railroad over pass
prol<<Uon on Iowa An, by the English Philosophy buJldlng, Just
wondertd.
Atklnsl Hot slnct the last communlcaUon, I hmn't htard anything, I can
chock With Jim In the next day or so,
Kubby II would really approclate It Just before an Incident happens, I
think we nttd to figure out It we are going to choose not to do
something or What the opUons are,
Hovl What are you talking about
Courtney II just have this mental picture of that bus trying to get
underneath that
Larsonl What could they be thinking of, To hit a bridge that Is like four fHt
lower.
MCD/It happens all the Ume.
Kubby I We have four slgns that Indicate the height It Is dangerous and we
nttd to figure out What to do.
Tho other Item Is something I'm asking for us to get morelnformaUon
about I was told by someone that Pheasant Ridge was up for some
kind of renewal or explraUon, What happens next When that date of
explraUon. Is the trend across the country, that When lhJs happens,
that. rents start to go up In those places, What are other communlUes
doing. Are they starUng to buy these up or Is some developer buying
them and kHplng them attordable.
Ron Hendersonl All of the aboVe. The Oonzales.cranston amendment of
1990 roqulros them to go through quite a lengthy procoss before they
can actually soli the units themselves. They have to bo ottertd, First
they have to make a plan to HUD, get an appraisal and try to resell It
to someone else under the same.Who would be able to get MUD low
Income money. Almost then they would be roqulrtd to otter It to
pUblic or non prOfit agencies before they could actually revert back to
private ownership. It's quJte a process they have to go through and
probably 2.3 years before It Is actually completod,
Kubby I What Is the explraUon date. Do you know.
Hendersonl Ho I don't but It Is all controlled by !IUD. J am not certain but J
think It was like J 994 or 5 When actually their mortgage came up,
The 25 year mortgage.
Kubby I So It Is not something Immediate, But It they want to go through thIs
process do they start now,
Hendersonl They actually startod last fall With some noUflcaUons,

Kubby I Do you know What lb.lr Inltnt Is,
Hondorson/llblnk It Is try and work out and got somf rotlnanclng, To try
to maintain lbe tax breaks,
Kubby / So It would rfmaln.
Hfnderson/ Tho tlrm lbat owns It Is an Invtslment aSSOCiation for lbe

continuation of lbflr buslnoss, I don't know It tbty arf Into any kInd
of trade with anolbor one or Whal I am Surf lboy arf going to try to
rotlnanct lbrough HUD.
Kubby I Whon lbor. Is somf r&SOlution of lbls can wt got some notification
on What lbat Is.
Hfndfrson/ As soon as somolnformation comos lbrough, It Is a lot of
activity and lbfn a long period of no activity unUllbfY roach somo
olbor typo of polnl They are having a training StsSlon In Santa
Monica, Cal. I would like to go to,
Larson/Just wanted to point out lbat Imitation Is lbe slncertst form of
naUtry and I appreclato you soiling Mr. Atkins sunglasm similar to
mlno.
Secondly, we got a memo a Whll. back about Il..could you glv. m. an
updato on lbe momo for th. pUbllc.for my favorlto housing proltel
BtcaUSf last Ume I drove out lbero right aftor lbe rain lberf was mud
all over lbe curb and It was extremely Slippery and It I had oo.n on a
motorcyclotravellng lbe speed limit I would have gone out sideways,
I am referring, of courso, to lbo Cliffs.
GentrY/My last conversaUon about lbls Wllb DIck Franz and Doug Boothroy

stone erosion control wall, There had oo.n plugs of plant malorlal
lbat had OOon put In that had oo.n groWIng and I had no~ unUI this
very mlnuto, heard any complaints about mud on the roadway.
Larson/ The right hand lanf In that two lane highway known as DubuqUf

building Is. Aftor a rain there Is plenty of mud on lbe road btcauSf
When my car going below lbe speed limit movtd a IIWe bll
GentrY/And lbat Is all coming from lbe Cliff's?
Larson/ The Cliff's Is lbe only lblng abovelbat I know of.
Gfntry II ntod to havo Doug and Rick Fosse look at Il
Larson/ The point that I wanted to make morelmportanUy or not more
Important than erosion on the road but one of Which I dlCCer WIth

or Whaltm of a CUff that has betn expom, to put rocks up 30 fftt of
It or 50 fftt of It or Whaltver It Is, Is not a soluUon, I don't know Why
he thought It was a soluUon but I was Willing to let him do What he
thought was a soluUon, But When I drive by and sUII &00 50 fftt or 40
fftt or Whalover It Is of expom earth that Is conUnulng to erode, he
hasn't solved It I have betn on enough hili &ides of golf courses and
Sftn enough neWng thrown down and onough different opUons for
how you can kftp a hillside from eroding to know that he Is trying to
loll us that Is all he can do Is not right I don't know If he can afford to
do It but that Is not my problem,
Kubby I The only way we can really get to this Is ~use there Is mud on a
sidewalk or a strNt So If he dots mrythlng that has botn agrHd to
then It Is not enough and we have to go back and renegoUatt,
Larson/l dlsagrft With you on the first point Mud on the sidewalk or
strftt Is one reason we can Object We can also object of him leaving
optn to the elements a hillside like that That Is agaInst our law. And
that Is What I want him to be conUnued to be sllod for. I don't think
he has compUed with the law by just covering part way up.
KUbby IBut our erosion control ordinance wasn't In effect When that
proptrty was built So how Is he.ls What Randy said true.
Larsonl Prior to our erosion and grading ordinance, It Is sUlI Illegal to leave
exposed a hillside.
Kubby lis that true.
Gentry I At this juncture and I am going to be quilt honest It was my
undtrS14ndlng that the poople at the city Who were revieWing this,
that II Glasgow In fact finished the remainder of the stones
ImplantaUon.Wl1lch Is like 99,9~ finished. That that would solve the
problem, If lbatls not lbe cast lben we noed to go back to square one
to find out What we lblnk Will solve lbe problem, But In all fairness to
Mr. Glasgow, If we have dOdded lbatlt won't solve lbe prOblem lben
we noed to sit down and get together and figure out What Will. Or
have him figure out What Will,
Larsonll rom ember When he starlod lbatl saId I don't understand how that
Will solVe the problem, Everybody kind of agroed wolllet's let him do
What he thinks Will solve the problem, My problem Is lbatl don't
want to drive by and SOt an ellpOSOd cUff of dirt
Nov II thought b& had to putthoso stones aU the way up,
GentrYI No,
McDI He didn't come up With lblsldea himself. Wasn't there an englnftrlng

Gtntry I He ceme up with It af"r reading some lI"ratureln the trad~, I
think It Is an accepted proctdure, Whether It Is going to work or no~ I
neOO some txpert help trom someone on this, The legal quosUon I can
handlt. But the grading and englnoorlng I can't.
Larsonl Here's tht throshold quosUon I have that maybo Is not answmd tht
way I would like It to bo. Is Is against the law to lem a cliff open
like that with exposed dirt so that It erodes away. My understanding
trom the beginning was that was not legal. Whether It erodes onto our
stroot or no~ you can't leave dirt open to erosion like like. It Is my
understanding, That Is what wo had cltod him tor to begin with,
Gentry I No wo did not.
Kubby IWhat wo cltod him botore to begin with was because mud was on the
handicapped accosslble ramp to the apt. building and that was the
only way we could get at the problem,
Gentry I Randy, we originally cited him under the housing code for failure of
landscape. That was originally-that was several yms ago, And that
was the basis of the agrooment. Wt didn't c1" him for nuisance, we
didn't cite him for erosion and we didn't c1" him for anything elst.
Larson/ Why Isn't the txposed cliff a failure of his landscaping.
Gtntry / As I said right now you art the first person that has told me that It
Is not going to be acceptablt and that It Isn't working, Because all of
my contact with the other city employoos have said that It was
working.
Larson/ There are two stpara" quosUons. One are the erosion control
devices working to koop dirt off the stroot. And I can guarantH that
they are not working. second Is whether there Is anything wo can do
to torce him to cover up that gouge In the land.
That has boon my main concern tho whole way.
Gentry/The stcond quesUon I can eventually answer, But the pracUcal
quosUon. Steve, have you heard any complaints, this Is the first I
have heard.
Larson/It may have boon an exceOOlngly large rain storm that mnlng, It
was talrly early In the morning when I wont out there,
Noy / But It shouldn't happen,
Larson/It can't happen, Not when we pay damages to poople that got hurt
there. It can't happen, Is thero a concurrence with council that shoo
McD/ Tha~s fino.
Gentry I Rick has stt up a procedure with IUS, and Stroots and Public Works
to rospond to problems with erosion and dirt going on to tho public

way. Who Is going to rtspond to What complaints, So I am surprised
U1at wt haven't htard about this oororo,
Ambr! This WHkend th~re Is a very Important mnt that Is going to occur
all over th~ U,S, and the basoment or U, or I. Hospitals and Clinics Will
have a T.V. staUon sot up to do the annual Children'. Mlracl~ Network
Tel~thon, Last year the site at th~ Un Iv. Hospitals originated over a
half million dollars or contrlbuUons to th~ children that ar~ using th~
racillUts at Unlv. Hospitals, I know we do a gr~at lob ther~ as a state
InsUtuUon but this addlUonal money that Is raised does a IIWo bit
extra tor peopl~ who I think could really uso a IIWe bit or extra help,
The Ambr. squad Will 00 manning the phones ootwoon 9 and IOpm,
Jun~ I. So I know that Whatever your plans are you Will certainly
find use or the telephon~ and we Will accept any contrlbuUon at
all....whatever you Wish to call In, I do urg~ you to support this
projecl Th~ main reason IlIk~ It Is that It helps our chlldr~n, But also
the money we ralso stays her~ In our community and that I roally
11k~.
Kubby! So wt can call and requtst you.
AmbO 111 bt there 9-10 and my telephone numbtr Will 00 outtronl..ltls a
lot ot tun working Il You get a lot ot poople...! encourage your
supporl
Courtn~y I Just a couple or Items, This ~ms minor arter talking about the
Clift's. We have some neighbors or mine that hav~ requested a similar
sltuaUon on 1st Av~. ootWHn Mount Claire Apl and Princeton, Thor~
Is an empty lot and a recenUy built home that doesn't have
established grass yel This Is an area that we have worked on
extonslvely tor flooding bttor~. It has boon tlxed, Th~ storm sewer
project dl,d work. We are geWng mud and dirt on that street also. I
am very senslUve to damages we have paid ooror~ also. I would like
to talk to the property owner about thal
S<<ondly, do we have a status or the HOliday Inn, I am OOlng asked by
lots ot people What has boon going on, I have heard rumors as to
ownership.
Gentry! Ownership Is transrerred to RTC. As rar as I know It hasn't
transterred out ot RTC,
Courtney lIs ther~ an aucUon scheduled, The next step Where RTC Is going
to rid themselves.
Gontry II don't know, I haven't heard anything about Il I can check on Il
Atkins! My understanding Is that everything Is sUII pending, RTC has sUII
got and It Is sUII OOlng run,

McDI Moved by Larson, &<<onded by Nov, to adopt lbe resoluUon, Were we
going to got Into any discussion or lbls tonight or do we want to come
back,
Atklns/l wanted to make a couple or commonts to you berore you voted on
It so lbat you are rully aware or lbe polley regulaUons, As It points
out It has been some Ume, We have been working on lbls trying to
get It polished up and have a trml polley lbat Is really ror all
pracUcal purposes Is substanUally unchanged, But lbere are a couple
or lblngs lbat are really very Important to you, I want you to be
aware or. In parUcular bocau~ we have had some concerns raised
and lbat Is our per diem expenst we are proposing wllb respect to
moals as opposed to lbe actually turning In or rocelpts, That was
down wllb lbe Intent or making It admlnlstraUvely a UlUe easier ror
us rrom lbe paper work standpoint. Same lblng wllb respect to lbose
Individuals lbat are traveling, Admltttdly lbe per diem Is low. We
used lbe IRS regulaUons and lbat In lbe more expensive clUes.
unrortunately lbat Is way lbe great deal or traveling dotS occur. That
per diem Is going to be preUy tight. I wantod you to be aware or lbat.
We certainly can continue lbe current polley or turning in rocelpts.
What we have round Is lbat we have not boon vigorous enough In our
enrorcement or lbo policy and lbe rocelpt turning In process has boon
dragging on tor some period ot Ume. We need to Ugh ten lbat up. That
Is Why we lbought lbe per diem might be simpler tor tolks, It Is
really very much a judgement call on your part.
Larson/l disagree wllb your judgement lbat It Is low. I lblnk lbat you nood
to have somelblng so lbat travel on city business dotS not turn Into an
excu~ to go to lbe nicest restaurants In lbe torelgn city lbat you get to
go to, I lblnk $34 a day In lbe big clUes and $26 a day In lbe smaller
clUes.lt just means you don't go out to nice meals every Ume, And
lbere Is nOlblng wrong wllb gOing to a Cheaper place ror a couple or
your meals, I would disagree lbat It Is low.
Courtney II have a couple ot concerns, Number one Is wllb the per diem, My
understanding with lbe proposal on the per diem Is lbat you get a set
amount of money and It you don't spend lba~ you get to keep It. I
really objoct to lbat. I lblnk that.1 haven't seen enough tlgures to
know What the averages hm been and Where we would come out on
that. It Is possible lbat we would actually save money by doing that
or It Is possible lbat people are just going to be putUng lbe money In
Ulelr pocket at lbe tax payers expense, I disagree with you totally,
Randy. They are not only low, They are unreallsUc,

Larsonl Which meal Is unreallsUc, S 16 for dinner,
Courtney Iln some of thest big clUtS like Washington D.C, you can.t touch a
moal for S16,
Larsonl SUre you can, You Just can't do It at a nice rtStaurant
Courtney I You can, I understand thaLI would be the first to agroo that the
process has bOOn lIawed as far as turning the receipts In and am really
as guilty at that as anybody,
Atkins I Just so folks don't misunderstand, It Is not that people don't turn
them In, It Is like we try to get them at a very Umely fashion to clear
the books and tStabllsh our paper tralllmmodlately. You get busy,
you return from work, you got them all In an envelope that haven't
betn sortod out yet We don't mind doing that kind of work, It doos
take some addlUonal amount of Ume.
Courtney I For poople Who are In the building every day there Is absolutely
no excuse for that 11Iere are Umes When I am not here for but a
week at a Ume. 11Iree days may be a IIWe Ught for coundl poople or
people that aren't hou~ In this building, But I can certainly live
with that and I think that we all can make a spodal effort to get down
here and turn them In three days, I don't disagree with that part of It
at all. I lust don't have enough factuallnformaUon In front of me to
agr" with the per diem. I think that there are a lot of people that
would actually be putUng money In their pocket doing that
Larsonl First you say that they are too low and then you say that there will
be a profit for people.
Courtney II could be either way. I don't know.
Larsonl That Is some of the averaging, 11Ie person that deddes that I am
going to skip lunch should not get penallzod bocauso the other person
didn't I think that Is the Idea bohlnd It
Terry Klmball/l would like to make a comment for Daryl, I had a hard Ume
deciding Whether to Include the per diem or not And my blggtSt
decision In recommending It Is the staff Ume that It takes to sort
through five days worth off receipts, The second, yes, there may be
some people Who only spent S20 a day In Washington D,C, on food,
There may bo S 14 a day In pocket out of that We get receipts right
now that might bo a IIlUe Ucket about three Inches by one halt Inch
that the restaurant hands out to you, It might be for S30 for one meal
and we don't know If that Includes alcohol or other things that are
prohtbltod from being relmbursoo, SO I don't know, I went with the
per diem bocause I thought you give or take and I don't think It will
cost the city more than reimbursing the receipts,

Larsonll didn't know, I have only made one !rIp, But I hod no Idt4, Can
you order the twtnty dollar s~ak, Or What are you suppost to do,
Everyone said bo reasonable, I think that It Is just clnner and makts
more sense that avoids our staff poople having to call up and say woll
I really think that that night you got the $ 1& prime rib that you could
hm gono around the corner and gotten something dltferenl I just
think It takts out all those kinds of prOblems, It establlshts What the
IRS says Is a fair per diem, I don't Imagine anyone thought 01 them as
bolng too generous lately,
Courtney I They are also my unrealistic sometimts, I am lust not sold on It.
Nov II think that It you wont to a mttUng at Amts, you would matt monoy
on It and It you wont to a mttUng In Washington, you would have to
put out some of your own cash,
Larsonl That Is a fair trade off In my mind, That Is the best thing you can
say...
Kubby II hm a couple of concerns that are dltterent. Under IImltaUons on
!ravel It says that normally approval will not bo granted for more
than two employeos omclal to aUond the same conforenco mttUng In
the Mldwost and all other areas of the country-meaning most Nat. Log.
of Cltlts Conferoncts-approval will normally be rostrlcto<! to one
omploytt/otflclal. Dots that mean-Is It explained.
I had a question on tho forth page about this formula about using
discounted air fare. It makts sense to me as It Is stated. But the thing
that Is not Included In there Is down time here In the city. If
somebody Is away from their lob, stuff doosn't get done and that kind
of costs us In some way. And how Is that figured Into this plan,
Klmballl Generally, the people who have boon taking advantage of that
discount have to bo there over a Sat. night. So they wlllloave early
Sat. morning or Friday night so they are not off of work for V&ry long,
Otherwise they would usually leave IIko SUnday, Just the difference
of leaving on Sat. and paying for an extra hotel room will save about
$500 on air fare.
Kubby I My 1st comment Is that I really like this opUon of Issuing a
purchasing order, For those of us Who live on cash and don't do plastic
for various economical reasons, ethical reasons, otc, It Is really groat
to have that option, I think that Is roal Important to make sure that
all employoos can travel and to make sure that their holtl room Is
r~rved for them, ~Ust usually you are going to get there alter
six anyway.

Nov II don't mind deterring It
McDlls that okay. Fine, Wal~ I lust want to ask on~ other quesUon,
Obviously, as you can surmise, the quesUons that you have bHn
geWng have bHn rather personalized on this parUcular Issue. We
don't travel much, I think twice a year Is about the extent ot It A
couple ot dlfterent meeUngs that the council goos to, But overall and
again It has bHn my observaUon and I know that there are dept

McDI Movod by Larson, HCondod by Courtnoy to adopt Utt resolution,
Discussion,
Kubby II had a couplo 01 commonts, I would roal1y lIke to talk about
broadonlng tho objoctivts, I Utlnk It Is Important to pr~rvo capital
and prosorvo the Invtstmont prlnclplo, But I would like lor us to
Incorporate In our Obloctive somo kind 01 values Utat wt have all
shown Utat wt hold and b<<ause wt have IImlOOd Instrumonts
avallablt lor use by tht city b<<ause 01 state law, Tht ones Utat wt do
havo Utore are somo possible ways 01 Including some 01 our values
Into Utls polley. For oxamplo, affordable housing, Slnct wt do have
CDs and wt do have savings accounts, I would lIke us to Utlnk about
aSking placos wt havo accounlD with for tholr community
rolnvtstmont rocord, To make sure that thoy are following tholr
obligations according to law and,
Courtnoy I We got that lust a whllo back.tho annual roports, And Utose are
going to be geWng more dotallod as time goos on, Thoy art roally lust
starting to vamp up.
Kubby lit Is not In tho policy and J Utlnk It Is an Important messago to
banking Institutions that this Is somoUtlng Utat wo aro going to be
looking al Not only nolghborhood groups lOOking at Il Whoro In big
cities that Is a lot of bow Utoy are used. That cities, In terms 01 tholr
Investmon~ that It you are not lollowlng those obligations thon wt
don't want you prollting from our tax payors mOnty. That wt want to
Invost In Institutions that do hold thost values and aro not only
holding thorn wlUt tholr plans but art Implomonting Utose plans.
McDI J know Utat you wont through a sorlts of mootings a whllo back of Utls
vory Issuo with somo of our financial Institutions, Did you not at that
time Indlcato to Utom that Utls Is somothlng Utat wo aro probably
going to become a IItUo more critical 01. In Uto past wt novor roally
did lOOk at It to be quite truthlul about It. I agroo and dlsagroo with
Karon on tho Issuo. Lot me try to oxplaln mysolf. Tho purpose of Ute
Investmont polley Is a fiscal ont, It Is fairly tightiy written, Tho
obloctive Is to rogularly oxcood Uto avorago roturn. wo sot oursolvos,
that Is our goal, Utat Is what we out to do lIscally, Wt thon havo an
opportunity undor othor loglslation like tho community rolnvestmont
to apply tho communltios political and social agonda to tlscal doclslons,
This was Inl.ondod to glvo us our marching ordors w1Ut rospoet as to
how to Invost our monoy, II you want to add on to tho political and

fiscal ag~nda, Saying you ar~ going to use your money to mHt lbost
kinds, We may want to try to deal Wllb lb~m soparatfly,
Kubby I Why. 1 want to make sure.
Atklns/l cannot prornJso you lben If you begin adding In olber dimensions
beyond fiscal measurts, I can't make lbese promlsos lbat lbal,t What
we are going to be able to go a/~r oocauso each Ume we make an
Investment decision and it Is Simple and complex. We hm our sonlor
accountant on lbe phone calling banks, lben do I have lbat porson
question lbem: okay, tell us about your community reinvestment/or
lbose Issues While we are In lbe process o/trylng to make a deal,
McDI To got maximum return lor your monoy.
Kubby/ltcan be lbat you don'thm to say lbat lbey have to have a good
record, That It Is part of lbe crl~rla, lbat it Is part 0/ lbe formula.
That It lbe are Okay. lbey are not grea~ lbelnvestmentls good, lben It
Is just a question lbat we ask, It Is not lbe sole make or break lbe
deal piece o/In/ormation but lbat It Islncorporatod Into our process.
Atklns/lf we ask lbe question, lbere Is going to be a value applied to Il
That Is going to make It tough. That Is going to make tho attempt to
get our return, that Is going to change It thore.
Courtney I The answer on day to day basis Is no. You don't put somebody
Who Is making the Investments on a day to day basls.thetreasurer or
the assl finance director or Whoever Is doing It In the position 0/
having to assess Whether lbey like lbe CRA results from First Nal
Bank or Iowa Sl Bank or Wherever from last wook or last month. You
just can't do lbat because you are looking to get your best Investment
return. Now can we do It at lbo beginning of each fiscal year. Take a
look back on previous year and exclude somebody for a year. Sure, It
we want to.
Kubby I But we are dealing With our Investmonts With CDs and savings
accounts, are we spoctllcany lOOking atlocallnsUlUUons, 1 am sure
that there are some that aren't local bocauso we have them all over,
Don Yuculsl We probably look more outside Ulan local, Only because
sometimos tho volume 0/ money we have available, they don't even
want to lbe money sometimos,
Nov I What about local accounts. How many everyday checking accounts do
we have.
Atklns/l think we only got a Cew checking accounts don't we,
Yuculsl Three.
Nov IIC lbose three accounts at lbree different banks,
Yuculsl The main account Is at Iowa Stal& bank,

Hov I Just for 1110 sab of conversaUon lets assume that they are at thr..
different banks, W. could certainly say that It one of thoso banks
doos not have an acceptable uso of the policy of rolnvosUng their
money In local roal ostalo rather than selling oft mortgagos wo could
change thoso every day accounts. Thoso non Invostment style
accounts,
Yuculsl You could probably make It oven broader than that You would
probably want to go out for a RFP on SfCurlng your banking servlcos
and In that you would Include that plus a lot more things,
Atklns/lt you are talking about a formal banking contract I have had
experience In another community Where you actually get the banks
compeUng for our busln~. That can e done, That Is very Involvod
and there Is an upside. And the upside Is that there Is a great deal of
compoUUon to get our money. The down side Is that many of the
banks that don't get the busln~ Which also have a lot of resources
available to them, You are not as likely to tap Into theso, they say,:we
don't do business With you. It Is a very delicalo balancing act I am
not lolling you to not have a poliUcal and social agenda attachod to
your Invostments. I would really like to give It some thought as to
how you want to do this,
Courtney I You have said that two or thr.. Umes now. I have got to stop you
about the social agenda and I don't know Where you are coming from
for the typos of Invostments that wo havellstOO under dlverslflcaUon,
Atkins I If wo go to banks. It W& are going to be InvosUng In some sort of a
CD and on the phone With 4-5 banks calling around to get the best
raoo. And W& pick the best raoo that Is going to give us the best return
on our money.
Courtney I But that Is not a social-
Atklnsl But If you add the element of that banks portormance With rospect
to poliUcal social agenda for our community, that Changes that
Invostment Bocause I may go say that you have got a bad
performance With us for affordable housing-
Atkins I Your detlnlUon of soclallnvosUng and mine are different Socially
conscience mutual funds, ele.... and I couldn't figure out how you were
puWng that Into V,S. Gov. bonds,
Kubby II am talking mosUy about savings accounts and CDs In torms of CRA,
Since I understand It being difficult loglsUcally, Bocause It Is okay
With me frankly If we get a halt percent doereaso In a good deal If we
promooo insUtuUons-a minor amount, an almost insignificant amount

to plaet thtst values, I am In~resto<! In your Idea, Daryl, 01 saying Wf
will have an annual rovlew, Even It the placo Is out 01 town,
Courtney II didn't say I was supporUng It. I was saying, could we do I~ Y95
Wf could,
Kubby II am In~rtsto<! In ~xplorlng that Is wIlat I am saying,
Alklnsl That certainly can be don~, That Wf annually requlr~ them to
submit some kind 01 sta~ment. I don't know What lorm this
sta~ment would tak~. Th~y might want to m"t Wha~ver goals that
you have tstabllshed. Maybe the CRA Is the Instrument to accomplish
that. W~ hm got to be real car~Iul. We are down to.talklng about
measuring investments. You can put your thumb over them wilen you
are on the phone with some 01 theso lolks and we could be talking
about a loss In Incom~ wIllch means that has to be OrrSt~ obviously on
our caSt, by taxpayers dollars, That Is the only thing Wf have
available to us,
McDI That Is a decision W& would hav~ to make.
Alklns/l am not ~lUng you that no, you can't do It. In other communlUes I
hm Strved hm don~ It. Just approach It with a gr~at deal 01 cauUon
to mak~ sur~ that your pollUcal and social ag~nda and your fiscal one
can mesh together saUslactorlly without a major loss 01 Income.
Kubby I But in my opening comments I said not In delerment to thoso. What
I am asking lor Is some lurther discussion on this, I can't vo~ for this
unltSS I know ther~ will be som~ further discussion on this, I
wouldn't mind voUng lor this as It Is now It ther~ Is lurther discussion.
It people aren't In~resto<! In further discussion, to make my poln~ I
want to vo~ no.
Ambr I The kind 01 Invtstments that are under scruUny here tonight ar~
they done all with the local lour banks and maybe the credit union,
Yuculsl W~ don't do any buslntss with the credit union.! could be wrong on
that. A lot of our CDs ar~ not In town,
Courtney I The world 01 brokered CDs Is qul~ hug~ now and you can easily
beat local rates on occasion at the brokered CDs through Chaso
Manhattan and some 01 th~ big banks,
Alklnsl And k"p In mind that many 01 the banks that W& would do
business with locally. I can assure you that the money doesn't stay
around here too long because they ar~ out on the secondary markets
trying to do What they can do on the thing, It Is not like our money Is
deposito<! In th~ bank and It stays ther~,
Courtn~y II have always had th~ loollng that W& do as much as they
can handle locally and th~n W& go outside,

YuculS/ With tho new banking laws It Is cosUng the banks a lot ore mOMY to
hold money, They might glvo us a market rato and thoy will lost
montY on that
Larson/ Don, Is It tho cast that you would over have a sltuaUon whoro two
banks would give you tho same rato and one of them would have a
good CRA raUng rocord and the other OM wouldn't
Yuculs/ That would bo common, yes,
Larson/ What would bo the problem then, As long as It fits a crltorla, I
could have a lot loss troublo establishing crlttrla that says that part of
what you look at but novor would you lako the lo~r rato return,
Thalllls only when comparing IdenUcal ratos of return thal you look
althal social concern. I lust don't know then If It Is a quesUon 01
logistics, can your treasurer get Involved In thost kinds of things, Is
thero a handy way to find out what their CRA record Is,
Atkins/I think that Daryl's Idea that they have to havo some kind of filing
with us-
Courtney I The wild card In this Is that ~ have now got the savings banks
coming on IIno and thoy havo the same ftderallnsuranco as the
national banks and that the statt banks do and w. hm already soon
one of them havo a luncheon to quiz us about the CRA and I think
thoy aro going to bo entorlng the compeUUon, Wo hm got 3-4 of
thost In town.
Larson/ Stems to mo that potontially too much monoy to mako a lalrly oil
the cull declslon tonight on It
McD/ Would It bo possible for you to, again, without gelting Into a groat doal
of dttall at this poln~ of putting something togethor since you havo
somo oxporlenco with this In other communities too. Of what somo of
our options might bo In this aroa, I guess I would bo Intorestod In
looking at but cortalnly not to the extent 01 It actually costing us
monoy. I think what Is Important I think what you brought up
originally. Elthor you havo an Investment plan or you havo another
plan. That thoro can be somo melUng 01 thost, A little bl~ okay, that
Is fine. But If It Is going to cost that Investmont plan too much money
thon I think w. han to go In another direction.
Atkins/ A couplo 01 obsorvations, Ono,l really bollovo that w. nm an
Invostment policy In placo. And something that you approve bocause

I think that if you want to u~ Imslrntnt polley to fulfill a coundl
djrec~ social political agenda, that Is going to chango With the
dynamics of the council Which Is flnt, .1 had Inlondtd When I stnt you

down the plkt, I would IIkoto OOgln preparing something for you,
Just Simply ~ haven't devo~ the time to do that for you, Il<<au~ I
really think you should u~ the CRA to our advantage, The banks are
undor tremendous pressure to fulfill cerlaln political and social goals
tor tholr communities. Wt want to jump on Il Tho Investment polley
Is simply sort of one tool, I think that they aro going to havtto do It
anyway. Whether ~ loan on them through the u~ of our monies or

It they are doing It they are doing It With In New York City.
Kubby I But that Is still valuabltto this country.
Nov II don't think this Is worth our starr time. 1I0~ver I do think It Is
worth our starr time to look at the CRA policies for local banks.
AlJclnsl Yes,
Nov I And WI) havtthr.. liquid accounts In local banks Which can be easily
adjustod up or down,
