One of those urnts may 00 able to be replaced In the developm"nt and one may not In tact they both aught not be So I tllought It was appropnare to asl to explore tllat. I tIl1nk what's wen reached IS a reasonable comprollllse, despite the price be.:ause 1f tlle dev€>lopers Wllo art? mrerested In tllat house and tllt?re are several, to make It work tlnanclally Wlth the additions and evt?rytlling. tIlat they'd have to add on to It Then I thlllk tlley'll make It known to interested groups In tlle communIty that they need some financial help to make It work, And I hopt? that the people who've b%n mvolved. I think WlJat's Important to note is that the developer's oftt?nng the house He's oftenng a very beautltul lot to go Witll it And that's Wlly, I don't want prospective buyers or anyone to be scared ott by that price tllat was mentioned, because you don't just get that little house You get all tlle Site that goes With It That's Wlly that price has to be that, I shouldn't say you get it in terms ot owning It It IS gOing to be a (ondominium, so the ',mole association is going to own the land, You get It in tllt? sense that tllat is the setting ot the house So my ~rs~tlve on the me"tmg was ~ reached a pretty tair compromise It certainly Isn't as far as could 00 reached, We could've just requIred him, it he wants it to be rezono:d, to ko:ep that house. I don't know Whether there's sentiment tor that extreme a view on tlle council, and so I was not askmg that Nobody was at tlle meeting Nov / I think it's unportant tllat this will be part of tlle condommlum, And the people who choose to buy tllis thiS hous" and returblsh it are gOing to hal'o: to be part of tho: homo:owners assocIation and contribure Whatever anybody o:lso: contribures But then agam, they go:t all tlle so:rvices too, Courtney / Any otller input trom the PUblIC?

Before Marianne speakS to tIlat, w'" have some correspondence thiS evening tIlat ( would 11ke to address real qUickly We have budgeted What we haITe called tile Benton Street Park, is fully budgeted And yOU'll recall during our bUdget diSCUSSions that tile parks and recreations folks raised the Issue by parkland acquisitions funds is what I recommended to you I happen to belloi've tIlat it's a very positive prolect That we can proceed W1t1llt And tIlat m my last conversation with representativ.,s from tile commISSIOn and the staff of parkS and ree, they are meeting at tile end of tIlis month to go over some recommendations to you abOut the use of parkland acquisition funds. Because as you remember, they were sort of sp11t as to whether they wanted to make cash contribution, whether we had to pay back But we do have that proJect lfi our Capital Improvements We're just simply waiting for them to make that policy determmati<'n for us. Larson! Including those parts of tile project Mayor's youth was gOing to do Atkins! We have $55,000 dollars budgeted for that proJect Now how we get It don<? is really sort of a secondary Issue, We did have the thing budgeted. Secondly, when this issue was brought tc' my attention by Mary Anne and she \'"""s lust seeking my oplmon on these things, one of tile things that I (elt 'Was pertinent to thiS project and why eeN might not want to (und it is that we do clearly have an alternate source of monies, that being parkland acqUisItion It's not a whole heck o( a lot dlffoi'rent than When CDW money was paymg for the ~urb cut It Just Simply didn't make sense when you do have a Viable moi'ans to do It So, I Just ',.;anted to preface Mananne's comm..nts ....,th that prolect IS m your CIP Larson!

And whoever would like to come IS welcome Kubby I What happens since the Library says that to serve county residents, they need $225.000 to pay tor services. And how are those same services give for $208,000 Nov I What will probably happen is that the servIces that were cut are not going to be complete;y restored but hey are gOing to be equalized for everyone And I don't know If tllls parttcular dlfference In funding would mean that ther.. would be Cewo:r people workmg, C..wer hours, fewer capital expenses this year But I think the only way to do it is some how amend that budget and that WIll be up to the LIbrary Board Kubby I I do have some concerns about that because the citizens of Iowa City said that they are willing to have theIr taxes increased on a levy basis to restore services to past Cull levels and that With the county not paying their full share then our citizens are sUff"rlng from that Nov I ThiS is a valid point and we all said t1lls Kubby I I am very distressed about this nObql~, .10pag.. ~ Ambr/ Th~r.. was also m"fiuon.-d dUring tM ,jlscUSSIOIl by th.,. ,ju ,;.:tor ~nd /.Is Nov pl..d5<l cQrro><:t m..

And all I am trying to do IS to give you the Impressions that I got Not ne(essarily that I agree With their pomt of view If I put myself fn their chair, I think that I can empathize witll tIlat Any how, Naomi and I bring this to you for hopefully your approval It IS going to be placed on tile agenda of tile board of SupervIsors Thursday morning so tIlat their two members can gain a majority vote for them.

But now the policy does not rule out that posslblllt'l when It becomes feasible WIth a large enough pll?<:e of land or a lot of smaller pIeces of land being put together I think this IS realunportant as an opuon for keepmg the cost ot the housing attordable and m perpetuity Nov II am also a little concerned about tlus because It IS a general fund expense that was not m our budget and IS not part of our procunng and I don't know why I mIssed tlus. When we brst discussed tlus I thought it was gOing to be CDBG tunds or housmg authority funds to purchase these lots for $75,000. And be<:ause It IS general fund because it wasn't part ot our ph., 1 am a little hesitant Atklns/ What we antiCipate<! doing was that 11 a proJect were to come along, It would be either a contingent expense or have to go to our working capital to pay tor It It would be number 1. Secondly, don't rule out the HoUSing Authonty reserves They do have sufficient reserves available to them tor projects such as this. It be<:ame a question ot what to budget. Just how much money did we want to set aside for the thing Nov / But it wasn't In the budget Atklns/ No. We did not put a line item in the bUdget for this Nov / And this IS a strong pOlley change Without having It In the budget It Is a little dlsturbmg. Atkinsl Well, the polley was coming along at the time the budget was being prepared, I didn't have a number that I f",lt comfortable recommending to you, So I didn't put one In In the future budget year we can certamly do that. These thmgs Will come along as they come along. Kubby / You're uncomfortable in terms of the process of not having a ph about this polley Larson/ I lust don't want to make protects wait until tit" next budget process though it It IS a worthy protect Nov / I would Ilke at least an assurance of a ph before each lot is purchased Atkins/Oh. I think we have to do that. I think for land acqUIsition, don't we have some kind ot hearing process We don't Gentry I Disposal not acqulsltton Atkins/ If that IS what you would prefer we can certamly arrange that In the polley that it will be In the form of a heanng before you Courtney I Will tJlat delay the process l ~ CI CI -I 0 ''-/ I I' I .1 .. 13 page- 2 'f Atklns/ No In most Ulstanc\?S WIIat you would b.;. domg IS kmd of like- that on€' lot we bought We- Just lSSU€, a contract If 1 !tnd-If th€'y rell m€' It IS a good Ide-a, I can sign a contract and the- clause to be put m IS thiS IS conting9nt upon approval by th9 City council, So I can 9nt.>r mto th9 agreement, lock the- land up, bnng It back to you It you re-)€'Ct It, we are not out anythmg Horow/ I Just need assurance that at the same time that we are ,jomg thiS, we are also loo\{mg at the mvestigation 01 commumty land trusts With the othe-r groups In the CIty that are dOing this Atkins/ There IS no doubt you have our atrention on land trusts It has come out loud and clear from you Kubby / There is one other sentence in ll&re that I am concerned about Not enough to vote against this b€'Cause I think the over all goals are important But It says tile goal 01 the city IS to maintalO the balance between long term affordabillty and upward mobility of home ownerShip mar\{et through equity bUilding. And I am not sure that the city's responsibility is to help people build eqUity. Nov / This is a really strong change, I think we have some obligation lor affordable rental housing. I am not sure that we have funding obligation for equity. Kubby / I don't mind making sure people are in houses so that their finances b€'Come stable over a couple period. Tll&y can then afford to move to another house of this same level and then they can start bUilding their equity on their own, Larson/ I am With you on that I brought that up before. I don't think this locks us into that 1 don't want people getting rich because we helped them buy a house. KUbby / I am not even saying that that is the intent of people getting into houses. This policy says that our goals are balancing those two things and I don't thlOg thatls the Obligation of the city That is not WIly we are dOing it And that Is WIIat the poltcy says I wouldn't mind that sentence being a little less dramatic Nov / I wouldn't mind deleting, Atkins/I! you want to make some changes. I would pr€'f€'r that you lust defer the thing and we will bring it back We have walred this long. It Is not a rush on this thing. Courtney / I am not quite sure I understand WIIat th€' problem IS Hit me once more l.I.'1th It Atkins/ The eqUity bUilding r thlOk I understand The language implies that we are a party to aSSiSting someone m buildmg equity so that they can move on to some othoi'r property ~ ~I t-" l tl ~.

That may b~ a end result That might happ.?n I don't 'Want to state It as a goal Courtney/ I don't mmd that goal on the house Itself I thmk that IS th.. goal of everyone to have that happ..n. What I tried for all along Is the land remains statlc and It IS only the appre<:lation on the house that th~y r~aJlze. I think ~verybody IS o?ntltled to that If th"y are making the Investment In the house and If we can som"how through land trust or Whatever maintain the land as no appr~Ciation Just kind of stays th"re. Then more power to them if the house goes up in value and they movo? into the next one. And this lower priced one we can provide to somebody else Kubby / I mlght be, in my mind, If I put stress on the word balance. I don't have as much problem WIth It It IS a concern that I 'Want US to have continUing dialogue on. Larson/ I think It is a general enough policy and the details of the implementation of it will come AtI'Jns/ The intent was to be general. But evidently.if you are reading it specifically, I don't want to discourag~ you from sending it back to them, Kubby / The document says 'our goal is' That IS a definitive statement that we are malCtng to the community and people can come back to us and point to our own document. Nov / That is right. And we are also saymg not only IS this a goal but It is a goal to use general funds, We are gOing to take tax payers money from this homeowner and use It to help that homeowner, That is a policy we have to think hard about Larson/ So What do you want to do Do you want to pull this thing Horow/ I woUld like to see if we can get some dIfferent language in there Karr / There is a motion on the floor Courtney/It was Larson/ Ambr Motion and seconded have been withdrawn Atkins/ Table it to the next meeting.

Slle's very tnSlght!UI and knows us well now So I have a fE'W questions for Dr LIcht. If I could I saw tIlat you brought m some cuttings Licht! I brought a tree Kubby / We coUld take tIlat home on our bikes One of my questions IS tIlat one of tile reasons we're trYing to do tlUs IS to prevent groundwater contammation Llchtl That's right. KUbby / And m getting tile cuttings gomg. you're talkmg about expliCIt written permi- notification to the city that youll bE' applying pre- or post-emergent herbicides Licht/Um-hUh. KUbby / So I'm concerned about What IS that herbicide and are tIlere alternatives to tne normal market things that would work, like turkey dung or cougar dung to keep tne deer away or Whatever? Licht/ Sure. KUbby / What will you be pUtting on? Licht! Okay, right now, our concern is tnat we have brome grass grOwing. Brome grass, for any of you that have tried to plant trees IS a very aggressive type of plant. It WIll ktII trees It will actually remove the water from the root 20ne. So What we have here IS What we're going to be grOwing. This is a poplar cutting. It was stuck in the ground four weeks ago. And IOU can see the root zones that we are going to be utilizing to pull tne water out of tne ground. It you have a dead tree, It won't do that, and so we're planning fight now to use Roundup hE'rbicide, It breaks down quickly to baSically help us get w%d control only for the first year. I've be.n assured by the people Who operate the landfill that lllere are mulches avallable WE"re planning on applYing compost Which I also believe Will prOVidE' some weed control. And it necessary, it may be necessary to apply somellling called Surflan, WIlich is a grass control And again, these are approved, lllese are what the Iowa DNR are recommending. Now we have said, with llle help of Ed Engroth, that we may lust use mulch and do no herbiCides. All my research with llle univerSity has no herbiCides mvolved So I'm not an hHblclde fan also. but as It says In the explanation of llle project, that we do need weed control llle first year So, KarE'n. I know that you're very concernE'd about that. and we want to use thE' minimum So we'll use at the lowest rate to still get at r , o 0 -I CI '~ 615 page Z least a pause In the weed and grass growth sv we ,an g€'t th€'s€' tr*5 to be the canopy crop Kubby I I had a question about, J read through thiS and there was some things about ~valuat!on, but I wasn't r9ally sur9 how s~lflc W9 W9r9 going to get to make sure that this IS actually dOing what it's meant to do In or partiCUlar case I know In your study SiteS it's workmg successfUl and I'm glad we're gOing to try thiS, but what kinds of, are you going to be Involved in doing some studies to make sure thIS IS functioning the way It'S e(f1clent uchtl One of the Ime items In thiS contract IS to wnte a proposal for getting the amount of funding not paid for by the City to actually measure tl,,, water budget So our maJor concern on the landfill cap IS to use a plant that can pullout the ground, so much water that there IS no water that leaks past the root system dUring the groWIng season and dehydrates the soil cap during the growing season so that after the leaves fall off First that soli has to rehydrate, wlOter comes, nothing moves down when the soil is froze, so that when sprinb comes the leaves com.. back out again and recapture the water. so that wo? have no infiltration That's th.. goal. in Oregon, where we have a succ..ssful cap that's demonstrating this, we have instruments in the ground down to five feet in the ground to demonstrate there's M water leakmg by the tree roots, That is our goal and that is wllat we hope to perform on this establiShed site. What Will happen in the first year, we'll put in four nests of what we call suction tensionmeters at one and three feet in the ground to measure and we're expecting to see some water removal during the growing season. That type of work will be expanded in the second and third years. We're doing this kind of work out at Amana With poplars and farm pollutants that are getting oft of farm lands into cr.-eks and so we are experiencing this kind of research right no KUbbyl Okay. And has thiS been done In Iowa on a landfil\7 Licht! Not that I aware of Kubbyl So this is a first for Iowa Lichtl That's right And but in Oregon, it looks like tho? OrO?gon Department of Environmental Quallty IS about to lOaM the use of densely planted poplars as part of the closure plan for a landfills operating permit When that happens there are 12 landfills that are going to use thiS system CHANGE TAPE TO REEL Ci2-42 SIDE 2 l r t-' t-/ -, I 1,-' '_' - I I '_' . !

Uchtl Let me answer part of that. It IS my understanding that 10 Iowa, for landtllls that w"re closed before October 1939, WlllCh IS Where ",.e are working They r~ulrw a two foot CO'7er and that right now IS Where w~ ar~ worklOg. We are not worklOg on the newest closed facilities that require an unpermeable membrane. We are trYlOg to understand how It is that we can k"ep leachate formation from ralOfall in these older fills, That if you were to go our on a landfill in JUly-there are cracks in the ground and things like this. We are trying to get a cover crop so that hopefUlly we can keep the water out of these older tiled and closed areas, specifically. And If Kubby I So it is really not Interfering because If this were an alternative We'd need to put a cap soli on anyway for the trees as well as to have some kind of membrane there Uehtl One other thlOg. We Will be adding compost that has been already produced and we are expecting to add a layer probably 4-6 inches of compost on this area too. KUbby I Of our own compost. City produced compost. Ucht! Right. So we are trying to get that back into the 'leO system And our focus is to hopefUlly rejuvenate a more normal type of ecOlogy out there and not just grasses but also d more varied habitat Larson/l just want to know If you sell stock 10 your company, Uchtl You Wouldn't want to do this With all the stress. Right now it has a lot of potential but we're in tIlis time of trial and we're trying to figure out What does work, These trees are the result of trying about thirty different varieties We Ulink, It'S 10 Impenal, Carolina. it's probably the best grOWing tree, And 10 three years out at Amana, Where we planted these very densely, the average tree was 13 feet, 9 inches tall, and that was grown in rows that were, trees were planted a foot apart on 40 inch rows. so '7ery densely We're planting t..'lem With greater spacing up here so WI! can get tractors and we can managl! them better But it IS our hope that it proves to b~ a syst"'m that works and meets the needs of landfills and the cItizens that liVE- around the landfills . _._-'-~"'-'-""-''''-''''~'''''-''''.'' - ._~ l r r.... - ~ ..... ... u t_, I I , .. 15 page ~ Kubby I How much do __ spend ill a year on fm..s for litter control' Atl:msl Deliberately we don t spend any I tlunk we had to pay about a S 300 line about a year ago That was part of th~ admlOl~tratlv" ord"r 1& that corr&<:t.

Twenty five- about twenty five thousand Courtney I It IS a lot Of poplars I noticed that part of It to here says selected harvest I am eunous wllat you do Wltll poplar wood that IS harvested. I only ask that because at one pomt 10 time I got some miXed in Wltll some fire wood and It doesn't burn worth a darn. Uehtl These are not Lombardi poplars I forgot to say this Which everybody has a bad atbtude about because tlley were disease prone and tlley broke down and people had to clean them up. We are growing the energy equIvalent per acre per year of a thousand gallons wortll Of fuel 011 energy With a bout the third year and among the plants tlley are among the fastest groWIng plant out tllere, That implicates issues Of green house gases and different tllings. We are looking at making tllis into pelleted fuels and things like this. In Oregon, wllere we are growing them, we have tlle pulp and paper industry waiting for It. They are wmg used right now In oriented lIOOr parbcle board. They are a source-there are dIfferent chemicals that can be made from this We are makmg bold statements that we feel this has a potential for a malor commodity crop in tlle future That is in the future. Right now we are focusing on the environmental benefits and the derived value from that. But we do expect to harvest. And we won't be burmng them in the fire placesl Courtney I By mistake, somebody got me some of those They are too wet of wood to burn Lichtl You didn't let them try- Courtney I Great Very int~resbng Any oUler diSCUSSion Roll call.

Occasionally we Jo re<:elve plans that are not qual1ty !lov I We are e~ting that most people are golO& to pay the minimum f~ on this and submit a quality plan FOSSe! I don't expe<:t that most of them WIll be down vn the t30 range No I think it will 00 sometlung higher than that e:!cept for some of the simply LSNRD and LSRDs. And a typical subdiVision might run 10 the neighborhood of t60- t80 per lot Larsonl Would you respond to Mr Oakes concerns Do you have thOSe 10 your mind fresh Fosse! Sure, One of hiS concerns was looking at a fixed fee for the reVieW process. That would accompl1Sh one of our goals That belOg 10 finding an additional source of revenue for staff But the se<:ond goal of encouraging quality plans and completely thought out plans would not be achieved by that. I(ubby I And the goal isn't really that We ue trymg to make money from some off the wall way or some unrelated way but tllat development is causing the need for us to have the kind and number of staff and to use staff time for this. So it is related and we are trying to make It so that if the development causes more staff time Then the price accommodates that. Fossel That is true. As an example, last summer We had an Industrial development going, The we literally had enough plans that we could wall paper the new additional to the civic center with it They would bring it In and say thiS IS great because thts would be costmg us a fortune in any other town wIlere they pay for each submittal Tllat also is a disadvantage to the Ii:! fee because If they do want to make a small revision and they give a new submittal t!ley pay the full fee Whereas if it is a small reVISion, we lust need an hour to lOOk at It, they only pay for that amount, Courtney I This is the second go around on thiS OM If I remember nght.
