If any of you have missed that I certainly encourage you to get down and talk to P/Z about this. This is another one of those issues that we will put in the category of being a hot item. It is going to affect a lot of people and I think that everybody should have good dialogue on this. I know the folks who brought the petition for down zoning are well intentioned. But there is also some other considerations that I think will be brought out by significantly into p.h,s. Both at P/Z and at the future council. I do want to encourage good participation though.

Moved by Ambr, seconded by Nov. Discussion. Nov! I have a question. We were assured in our work session that the conditions have been met and this says the storm water agreement. Have the also done the screening and the shrubs? Karin Franklin! There's an indication on the revised plat that they will do the landscaping of the island within the parking area and put in the extra screening that's been requested, yes. Nov! So if we approve this as a final plan, it has no more subject to's listed? All of the subject to's have been taken care of! Franklin! Subject to's have been taken care of by notes on the plat, plan, excuse me. Nov! Thank you, Larson! Karin, I noticed in your report, you thought that because he was providing more parking than is required that you'd rather he'd take out some of those for some trees in the parking area to break it up? Franklin! That's right. That was our Oliginal position. Larson! Has he done that? Franklin! The landscaping and the parking as it's now shown on the plan now meet what we'd like done there. Larson! Has his parking gone down to just what's required? Franklin! I, let me check that. Nov!I think as I read it it was a little bit more than what's required. Larson! I guess I just think that's a value judgement that ought to be decided by council rather than staff. I don't know how any other council member feels but I'd rather have the extra parking spots and encourage him to put the trees up on the yard or somewhere else, because I think all of our apartment buildings have too little parking and I think our parking requirement'is a balance between what they can afford to put in and what people actually need. But if an individual developer puts in more parking because it will still work for him or her, then I think we ought to encourage that. I don't know of apartment buildings where the required parking usually does work out to be enough, and I guess I just think we ought to find a way to find some more trees on the property without takhlg away from parking spaces that I think people need, Franklin! There's 72 required and 81 provided. Larson! Was it higher than that before he changed it or did it stay at that. Do you remember. , . - - ---.....-.........--.. .----.......... -.,'..-..- "'01..._ I I14oW, ! J. .. ,. '1 I ,I #5h page 2 Franklin! I don't remember. Larson! The only reason I-because you said in your note that he ought to take out some of the parking spots to add more trees. I just wondered if he found a way to add the trees without taking out the parking. Franklin/ There Were 96 spaces originally. Kubby / It is not just the amount of parking I think that was part of staff's concern. But the expanse in one area. It wasn't like it was broken up. It was this mass of concrete that collects heat, collects water. And having some little green space just makes that expanse of concrete a little more humane and it has to provide a 'couple of parking spaces with some shade potentially. Franklin/ One of the things that is being provided too is that screening between the building and the parking area. Which was of some concern related to the issue that you are raising Karen about having such an e.xpanse of parking. But they also did diminish the number of spaces to accommodate some or more landscaping. Kubby/ So it is 9 extra spaces then what is required. Franklin! Right. Larson/ I guess I just hate to see us lose those inhabitants of 15 spots by asking for that. He could redesign things so It is not such a vast expanse of parking lot-that would be good too but- no he took ought 15 parking spots. Nov/ The only way to get rid of the concrete. Larson/ It Is not at all the only way. He could have put in trees and put in the break up and extended tile parking lot into other areas. Franklln/ There were constraints on this particular site because of the storm water detention basin which had to be reconfigured as it was anyway. Larson/ Well, I am just going to continue to register my feeling that apartment buildings In this town do not have enough spots. There aren't usually adequate guest spots, There aren't usually adequate spots for the tenants. We rent 3 bedroom apts, Witil 2-3 parking spots and that doesn't cut it. Certainly it doesn't cut it in this area, If we are not going to change our requirement and the developer thinks he needs more parking spots, I tilink that ought to be a close call that is tilOught about carefully about whether to replace the spots tile developern ..."....,...,..... ...'i I , ' #5h page 3 thinks would help market his building. I just want to go on record with it. If nobody agrees with it, that wouldn't be the first time. Courtney / I would agree, it does seem a bit inconsistent with people coming in and requesting exemption from the required numbers of spots and they have to go through the process of sometimes the board of adjustment and all tllOse sort of things. If they can't get it done through council approval. Then we have someone who comes in offering more spots and we talk them down. Franklin/ I think the approach we would generally take is that the requirements that we generally have are what are needed by the decision of councils over time. That is what we need for particular uses. And that we are trying to balance off parking spaces with livability. Livability being demonstrated by putting in some landscaping, some trees, some extra green area. So If the council doesn't wish us to take that particular position because it would be one that we would take in negotiating projects Witll developers. I think we need to know that. Larson! I anl not sure that tllis council or earlIer councils feelings about the requirement. My feeling always was that it is the requirement that you have that many. But I sure never got the feeling that we only want you to have that many. If you put In nlore and we can find a way to make the thing more livable by bringing you down to that required amount we will do that. I had never heard tllat before. And we could do that on any project. I know that not velY many developers bring in a plat with more spaces than Is required but I hate to tlllnk that evelytI.111e they do we would say no, put in more yard and more trees because the required number of parking is also tile maximum number of parking as a policy or a concept. Kubby/I don't think that is what happens. I think It matters how tile parking is configured, In other places the parking Is broken up because of the design that the developer has chosen. Because f the land. Franklin/ It does velY much depend upon the site. If what you are being confronted with Is extensive asphalt with very few breaks. You have to have a certain number of breaks In order to get the tree coverage. But you can also put tllat along the edge which means that you have quite an expanse of asphalt. Tty to have them break that up with green spaces. So I guess , "oj " , , -. #5h page 4 if there is a majority of council that does not wish us to do that we will need to know that. Larson/ I want you to encourage livability and green space. I did not know if there was a feeling if the required number of spaces is adequate. In my mind it is a compromise in terms of what is feasible financially for a developer and what people want. In my mind it is not adequate In a utopian situation. ' I would hope to think that when we are asking people to come back down to the required number, if they initially want to provide more that we have pretty strong reason In terms of livability and concept rather than just a feeling that the required is enough and why do you want to put more when we can do these landscaping things. There are some Instances where tins sea of asphalt cries to be broken out. But I guess I want to know what kind of balance you feel In yom' mind. This can be scheduled. CourtneY/Any fm'ther discussion on tins particular item. Kubby / Randy, in a utopian situation we would be requi1ing bike racks, not parking spaces. Larsonl Evelybody has got their own utopia. Frank.linJ I guess what I would say, Randy, right now is tIlat probably In my negotiations on a development I would come down on the side of trees and green space. And if that isn't the feeling of the majority of council, you need to let me know. Courtney I I am going to agree with you on this one because it happens to be out ion an area where parking isn't really as crunched. If we were closer to downtown I would disagree with you. IT they were asking for a- Franklin! Downtown our parking requirements are less than they are in this area, Courtney lIT they came In with offering extra spaces and we turned it down- Larsonl Cuts both ways too. Being where it is, we aren't going to have very many tenants who don't want a car. Couruley I Any other discussion on this Item. Roll call- The resolution is adopted. -.

Jim Murphy / I have been involved in the group of citizens that have unearthed Iowa City's agricultural subsidy program up by Hickory Hill Park. And the reason that I am here is to make you aware of a couple of formal requests that we are going to make at your next meeting and give you a chance to think about them. We have discovered that the piece of property that was being grazed on was not actually parkland. It is city land and it is storm water detention land. There is a similar piece of property on the southeast section of HickOlY Hill Park, In fact most citizens probably think this is part of HickOlY Hill Park. It goes right over to First Ave, It also is storm water retention land. And what we are going to ask is that both of these pieces of property become designated parkland. It certainly would make them easier and more efficient to administer the pieces of property and would also help the public to identify them as public land. If they are marked especially as a city park. Right now if you went into this area from First Ave you could easily think it S0l1 of as an abandoned woods or something...or who knows what other imaginative thing a citizen might come up with. The second request is going to be that you establish some sort of central registry for all of the city real estate, Iowa City, believe it or not, has got sort of an attic full of real estate. When we started looking gin this land we found It very difficult to find out who or what part of city government realiy had control over it. There Is no one place that you can go to where all of the city's real estate are listed. The airport commission has holdings, the park has holdings, public works has holdings, Lord knows I don't know who else has holdings. So those are the two requests that we are going to make to you at your next formal meeting and I am just here to sort of make you aware of that and give you some time to think about it. Thanks. Kubby / Jim, I know I think It was a year ago that we would looking at a subdlvislon-H1ckOlY Hili Ridge subdivision. We looked at the question of redesignating the water detention basin near Regina to parkland and I will make sure that you get a copy of Linda's memo. I just saw that a couple weeks ago. I know I have it so I will get It sent to you. Murphy/ That Is a parcel of land that I am actually-I am talking about actually both pieces of land. Not only the piece up n011h ._.._..---_._-----~.__.._~.....-.........-.._..............._...._.,--_..- . ...., .....-.uN ~ ~""_I ".....~~:1-~. flor""'~', ."j 'I .1 -. #6 page 2 which is being grazed on but also the piece of land that you are talking about. Kubby I Just so you have the benefit of our past semi recent discussions about this. Larson! Jim, I don't know if you caught the last meeting but I asked for an update at that time and one of the things that is being done is researching what restrictions apply to what we can do to stonn water land and whose responsibility it is to maintain it and what the impact would be to do some things there. So they have already started looking at that. Interestingly enough, the gentleman whose company was grazing on the land called me up the next day and offered to let the city use the survey that they had done at that time. Several thousand of dollars of expense to delineate those boundaries. He was going to make that available to the city so we wouldn't have the expense of redoing that. So there is some cooperation and some work being done in getting ready to make those decisions, Murphy/. I tllink too that the land out by Scott Blvd. that has been made into parkland was possibly flood water retention land also. So tins isn't a really new idea. it is something that has been done before. Courtneyl I would also suggest that you t1nnk about attending tile August 26t1lmeeting of the P/R Commission because we are not going to consider anything until we get recommendations from them. Murphy I r plan to. Thanks. Courmey I Any other items of public discussion not included on tonight's agenda. .--..-...-.--.---.,.-.......- ...--....-......------.....--- "'-r- .

If this is a two million gallon tank and if we did a buried tank at 60 cents a gallon, including the electrical, mechanical and land costs. Wouldn't that be $120,000. Schmadekel $1.2 million, Kubby I Oh, I went the wrong direction. Sclunadekel The existing tank is a one million gallon tank. Larson! I wanted to let the public know what your memo told us, Which is that if this does turn out to be more expensive than your estimate you may consider not doing it instead going to an underground tank. So, just because we are getting this process started doesn't mean we are necessarily going to spend the money. Kubby I When we do lead abatement we have to make sure that any soil that gets contaminated needs to be taken care of also, correct. Schmadekel There are a couple of methods they can use to remove the lead based paint. One of tilem is a sand bast where they can ,continue to use it even though the paint is mixed in with the sand. After tiley do so many of tilese jobs then they have to dispose of it properly. And I don't know just how they will do this. Novl Is your estimate including the cost of carting away of someti1ing to a hazardous landfill. Schmadekel Yes. That would be the total cost of the project. Novl And the other cost was a million something. Schmadeke/To build a two million gallon buried tank. Yeah, right. Kubby I Are there any local people that do tilis kind of work. Schmadekel Not that I am aware of. Kubby I I prefer some local folks doing tills, Larsonl Not by pernllt anyway. You might have one or two that do a little bit of It.

Discussion. Kubby I I am going to be voting no on this. Not because of the design at all. Just because of the issue. I don't approve of this building. Another parking ramp in this area. And building another parking ramp, perIod. Although I do think that for a parking ramp, the design is very nice. I am hoping that enough natural light is going to get in and really the core will just need to be artificially lit during the day. And I am glad that we are accOl1l1nodating farmer's market. They will be very happy to be in this structure next season if that is possible. I don't know if that is going to be possible. It is semi-esthetic for a parking ramp. Ambrl We have talked about it a number of times and I just want to reemphasize this, The total number of units of parking stalls will be 467. I just want to remind the public that within a very short peliod of time we are losing 77 spots behind the old library. We don't own that. The owner has asked to execute his contract. So we in affect have lost those, It is just a matter of a few weeks before we give them up. The other 78 that will be lost one day is whenever the famous last parcel of urban renewal, 64-1A, which is the surface parking lot next to the Holiday Inn, That will someday be developed into whatever. I won't even venture what that is going to be developed into. But that is 155 spots that we will lose in the near downtown. So we are just trying to stay even. I did think it was kind of curious that we are going to spend $4 million and nobody has said anything about it. Courtney I When the other two ramps were built it certainly would not have went that easy. Novl A lot of people did talk to us about tllis before. Larsonl I think it is a good decision, too. It is kind of old news. So I want to spend about 30 seconds on it. I want to say that I think it is a llice balance because some people and probably a majority of people still want to use the automobile as their plimary means of transportation and we owe it to downtown Iowa City to stay ahead of the power curve on those issues. As soon as we neglect those desires of those people they start going somewhere else. You can uy to make it easy for them to use other means but in the end that is not always going to be a social experiment that succeeds. I think in making a design people frIendly and putting it in a spot where it will get used, -........-.-- -~ -- -.......-....--...----...- ',J__JoI--..............,.""JI~. i 'I , I -. #10 page 2 we have fulfilled our obligation and I would point out that the $4 million is paid for by parking users. This isn't something that you are paying for if you are not going to be involved with using Iowa City parking. Courtney/ I would just add that this is an extremely important issue to the downtown merchants, Old Cap. Center we have had concerns about the use of the facility next to it by long tenn parkers that weren't shopping. The DubuqueStreet ramp is being heavily used by the hotel. When the surface lot next to the hotel disappears that will fill up even more. We have to accommodate om" downtown merchants as well. Any other discussion. Roll call- The resolution is adopted, Kubby voting no. i I I I I I ! 1 I I I I I I , ! I.',' : ~ I I , #11 page 1 Courtney / I would like to open the p.h. Jane Kll~'&kalI want to talk about the hIghway #6 and Lakeside Drive ul'h~(V or Industrial Park. I am Jane Klinska, vice president of the I' I Grantwood Neighborhood Association. The members of the association that live on Hollywood Blvd, asked me to present the problem. We are now facing and may face the installation of tlus traffic light as it is installed on lc1keside Drive. Grantwood Neighborhood Assoc. is presently reviewing options for handling traffic generated out of lakeside Apts. onto Hollywood Blvd. We are working with the city to curb tlle traffic problem now. We have excessive speeding on our street. Cars have been stopped going SO mph. Reckless driving. Cars are routinely dliving through yards, I live on the corner and they have gone through my yard several times. My car has been hit four times in the last couple of years. They drag race up tlle street from Lakeside, side by side abreast. We feel the traffic light has the potential for making an already bad problem worst. The access to Lakeside residents have an opening on Lakeside Drive. It is only about two cars lengths between Lakeside Drive where they come out and where they enter onto highway #6. It is kind of like Keokuk and highway #6 near Iowa State bank. So once the Lakeside is open all the way to Sycamore, it is going'to encourage the Lakeside people to come out on Hollywood Blvd. We are not going to be able to get out onto Lakeside to take the highway because of the traffic light and stopping. It is going to be backed up. It is kind of like trying to get out of the Iowa State bank or out of that station down there. We just want the city council to be aware of our problem as it stands right now. And, in the future, if it does make it worse to please be aware of it. The alternative would be may be to give Lakeside residents another access or entrance off of lakesIde Drive. Ambr/ Have to had a chance to have dialogue with Public Works. .Klinska/ We have talked to Jim Brachtel. He has been out. He Is N /. fzk InstaIIlng traffic signs for speed limit on residential areas and I Iv everything. That is about as far as-we have got other meetings scheduled. We Just want you to be aware of our problem already existing. And what if it gets worse. Courtney/What if it gets worse, I would encourage you to comeAback cmd tell us about it. I ,_,, ..' '" I ,I -.. #11 page 2 Kli(~a/ But I just want you aware of it as it stands right now. That we already do have a problem. Ambr/ Do you folks in the neighborhood regard this as an improvement Kli~a/ The stoplight. I think ~hey do need the stoplight over there. But the problem that we have already is they are conting up our street because they don't want to use this street CHANGESTAPETO REEL 92-74 SIDE 1 Our kids are going to school. As to during the SUllllUer, it is not as bad in the summer. But when school starts it is like-I'm am constantly, "Don't go past the sidewalk. Stay up here on the yard." My yard has been d11ven through tVl1ce because tlley didn't want to make the corner once and once because there was a parked car in the street. They were drag racing and they just have to go out and around. And we call the police and evelything and I know there is a problem. The police are on the opposite side of town and we need them over here. We understand all of that and everytl1ingbut it is just that you need to understand our point of view too. That with tlns installation that they are more apt to come up our street. I myself am guilty. Courtney/You think it is part of the reason you use your street is the difficulty they have accessing on to highway #6 and with a , J. light that that would help them get out there easier. Kli~ska/ You see. It is not going to help them get out there easier because there is only two car lengths, There are two cars already stopped there. Courtney/ I know the frontage road debate we have had with Iowa City. Kli~a/ Then they are backed up and nobody back here is going to let the people out of Lakeside get in front of them when the light is green. They are just going to say that I want to go to work or I have to go to school or something llke tl1at. What is the quickest way out. Straight up Hollywood Blvd. Which is their back exit. Coy!'tney/ So we need to slow them down on Hollywood Blvd. KliW11<a/ Yeah and we are attempting that. Kubby / And once Lakeside is put through and it is a straight away in front of a school-hopefully that wlll be included in tlle school ,. 'I I , , -. #11 page 3 zone so the speed limit will be even further reduced, just 8-5. Although I don't know if those are your problem hours VI'ith drag racing. That straight away with no traffic control. We are going to need to do some major enforcement, especially the first couple of months that that straight away is open. , Kli4ikal It is just like-there is parking on our street and the street is wide enough for two cars to park and still be able to have two cars going down. When they are going side by side and they don't care who Is in the way and what is going on. Or they floor it. Because it is a straight away from the bottdm of the hill at Lakeside all the way up to Union. It Is straight. They have no stops or nothing. It is like almost a block and a half. So they can just go and off they go and there is nothing you can do about it. I have been side swiped....it has been hit four times. Larson/ I would encourage you to work with Marcia Hale and her group with Jim Brachtel to find find possibillties....make some steps and tty some things. Mary Lewls/ I am president of the neighborhood association at Grantwood. The problems we have with enforcement has been pointed out. They did a car count on how many cars were conting out of Lakeside onto Hollywood and on up to Union. And the times during the day that they are coming out are at all times. Usually they will find like 7 AM or 5 PM that the high point of the day. But now they have found with Hollywood Blvd because of the population that lives at lakeside-students and they have parttlme jobs and this kind of thing. They are going through there ail day long. There Isn't a real regular time that they can come and set up radar and say okay now we can get these people for speeding because they are coming through so many different times during the day and it is just a regular problem that they just can't pin down to J. a certain time. Klf~,s1l<a/ They have told us to call the police dept. every time somebody comes down your street and uy to get their license number. We all are uylng to do tillS. Like I said. The policemen are usually over there, patrolling the area pretty regularly now. But It always seems to be when they are not there, There they go. Lewls/ We are afraid that once the population at Lakeside finds that it might be difficult to get out onto to Lakeside Olive with the I , " . "1 I oj -. #11 page 4 increased traffic once it is opened up to Sycamore Street. There is going to be more traffic going to the factories. Kubby / We will be solving one problem but maybe creating some others. Lewis/ We would like for you to consider the possibility of maybe another access for Lakeside Drive to the Lakeside Apts. They have the room there to do it. Maybe not using Hollywood Blvd. so often. Courtney/Lets have Jim put tillS on his hit list and keep us informed. Atkins/ I think you all have a meeting Thursday night. Don't you have another meeting. I assume that some of those issues will come up with you folks. There is a neighborhood meeting on the 20th at the picnic shelter. I suspect that Marsha will have a far better list. Kubby / It is really important that you all are getting organized to help us deal with these issues and bring them tour attention. Keep us updated and make sure that what we do doesn't have side affects...you will be the people that most can tell us the pros and cons. Lewis/ It is nice to be heard too. Thank you.

I don't know whether people have contacted Marcia or anyone at Public Works or the City Manager's office about other neighborhood implications. For example, pedestrian access. If it is wider at the point that people need to get across and the walk lights aren't going to be changed so as not to disrupt the traffic flow. Are we also creating more hazardous pedestrian access at the points where we most need it. Has anyone heard from folks. ' , Rick Fossel I don't think that there are any walk lights at that location now. Kubby I But at one of them-not at lakeside but at- Fossel Oh, at Gilbert. There may be some there. Kubbyl I don't know if you will have to adjust those lights. larsonl I don't know if they are there or not but I am saying that the right ttu"n lanes are there already. We are just going to pave it, Fossel They are using it now. Courtney I People use it as a right turn lane out on the dirt now. They have for many years. We are just going to make it official. larson! I don't think that there is anything wrong with that. We are just paving it. Courtney I I would point out that that particular intersection is part of the efforts that we kept talking about for the Kirkwood issue to improve some traffic flow and also when we talked about adding more lights along highway #6 that it does have an impact on Kirkwood too. As we have talked about it before. There is always a cause and effect of every movement of traffic from one place to another that we do. Any other discussion.

I have to tell you that I called our city engineer to find out how they decided that they are going to fund these two turn lanes and not the third one. I found out that the state makes the decision based on whether or not they are going to help state wide traffic or just local traffic. And they decided that that particular right turn lane would not serve the purposes of helping the state road. It would be just local traffic. Courtney/ In their infinite wisdom they have decided.

Two of them were just wanting to make sure that we are responding to requests made of us. One is from the Iibraty board. I assume will be an agenda item at some informal meeting, Atkins/ Yes. That is may intent, Karen. Place it on the agenda. Kubby / The second one was a request by Bill Ackerman for parking to not be allowed on the east side of Alley Ave, That is something that Jim should- Atkins/ .11m gets those. We send those directly to Jim, yeah. Kubby/ Lastly, I have been getting a lot of calls and comments about plastics and our plastic recycling program: I want to make an attempt at clarifYing something that is not very clear. It says in our literature that when you recycle your plastic that we can recycle Is and 2s. And the last part of the sentence is the most Important. With seams on tile bottom. If tlley have a little knob on the bottom, our program can't recycle those. They will be left in your recycling container. And you will end up having those landfilled. I haven't been able to get an answer that I quite understand as to why a #2 plastic container that has a knob and has a seam is made from different materials. Or why we can't recycle them. Why they are different. Because the coding system as I understood it was that if it had a certain number on the bottom it meant it was of a certain chemical composition and would melt at a certain temperature. Apparently the 2s with the knobs in the seams are different. So, our program is recycling Is and 2s with seams only. Hopefully our program will be able to expand in sometime III the future when we can recycle 1-7s or some combination of those things. Just so people don't-I have had some calls from people who say they are buying a more expensive brand because it is a 2 on the bottom of tile container instead of a S. Then they feel ripped off because they are not being able to be recycled. So I want to clarify that. If they are doing those purchasing habits which I think is really wonderful that people are valuing this so much that tlley are willing 0 spend more money for a similar product because it comes In a container that our city recycles. So I hope that that is clear and if people have other problems with recycling, please call me or call the city and when we do our nc,xt printing of our information sheet we can make .sure that If there Is another way we can say it _____.__ .."___. "._ .___ -...,)...1r-...ft__....___''''__M~_- '-'__"KY ~ """"u.t ......,..I~-.rt iJ... , '-'1 -, . ' #16 page 2 that makes it more clear then we will attempt to do that. Make sure you look on the bottom and know the difference between seams and knobs. Place the seamed plastics in the recycling. Nov/ Karen, I have to add a little comment to this. I had a container with a seam on the bottom that was returned because of its cover. Its cover was also #2 plastic but the cover did not have a seam. When I took off the cover and put out again it was then picked up. Kubby / Did they tell you this on a little note. Nov/ No. I figured it out... Also Steve can we have our landfill folks look into the possibility of sending some plastics to Des Moines. They have a new plastics recycling plant that I have been reading about. And they are taking absolutely all plastics. Even plastic mm bags. So we could at least check into the possibility. Atkins/ Certainly. Kubby/ That is all I have. Nov/ I will go home and check my files and give you a name. I noticed Steve gave us an article about a Midwest Living magazine award to Iowa City and I also cut that out of the paper. It was actually an award to E.A. which we have previously mentioned on council meeting. I checked with Floyd Pelkey and he said that he has been congratulated all week but it wasn't truly his own work, It is nice to know that it was based on the fact that it was more and more stuff being put into our drop offs and not going into the landfill. That is good news. I also wanted to say again that I am working on encouraging other cities to go for 20 mph speed limit and I am encouraging us to go for 20 mph speed limit at all schools as best as we can. I think that we are going to need to amend that ordinance. I feel it is important. I want everybody to be aware and I want to have it happen soon. Ambr/ Mr. Mayor, thank you. Ever since I have been about 12 years old I have always had to defend myself. I don't know if anybody else will do it. I have to step forward and take care of myself. The last 39 years or so since I have been with the same wife and number of children I also have to look out for their well being. About 11 years ago now when I was asked to run for the city council after urging others for years and years to do so. I said yes, I will go up to the bat and I will try to do 'I -I , -. #16 page 3 my very best job. Little did I know that Once I was elected to a public office that the perception is that whenever you become an elected person that you are suppose to forfeit your right to be treated with some civility. While the same token, we as a public office have to treat others with more than an extraordinary amount of civility. How many times I know more than one of us have been confronted by someone who you really want to say get out of here you jerk. Because what you are doing is not right. What you are saying to me is beyond all the realms of reason. And I'll take it and I will turn the other cheek. I have probably have done that no less than 400-500 times in the last 8.5 years. I am going to read a statement that was published today as a guest opinion In one of the local media. I had discussed this with a publisher last Friday after making my point and he making his and he promised me that he would do it. That he did it in a timely fashion in having it in todays publication of the Iowa City Press Citizen and I appreciate that. Not everybody in the community subscribes to the paper so as I think of one time in the past it was Mayor Courtney who said in the fIrst year or so that he was on council you have your fonllll and we have ours and this is it. I would respect that this tape be kept and be made available for whoever. Perhaps some of my grandchildren might want to see it someday. I'll quote my article in total. (Reads front page article, August 14, 1991 Press Citizen, (Councilors-Supervisors Defends Attendance.) Those of us who pay attention to local government are fully aware that in the last three city council elections there were three seats of districts that went unchallenged. Why do you suppose that is. I can just tell you that this kind of abuse on a person who I consider is a civic servant rather than a politician. To me a politician defined is someone who makes their living at the political gain. I consider tIlls a high honor and I consider this all voluntmy. I would do It for notlllng as evelybody on this council would instead of accepting a $5,000 salmy which Incidentally has been in place for the last 12 years. So I just ask those of you who are considering running for office in the next city council election and or the school board which incidentally is also going unchallenged for the velY evelY same reasons. I have talked to several candidates. I have also talked to one of the two candidates who is not running.

It is the same kind of . stuff. All of us knew what we were getting into. But I can just tell you you really don't know what it is like until you have walked in these moccasins. Now I am not asking for any sympatllY. I have enough bamacles on me that I can withstand anything that you want to throw. But I just would like to see a little more what I consider fair play. If me or any member of this council or any elected office is out of line. If we are doing something that Is a mal feasance of duty I think the press and everybody else in tllis community owes it to each other to do evel)'thing they can to drum that person out of office. But to choose a really none issue that was chosen to come after the character and the service record of the rest of of I think is repugnant. I was going to try to end this wIth a little funny stOI)' about Elvin Barkley but I think I will end it at that. Thank you for the time, Mr. lYfayor. Courtney / I was going to talk on the same subject but I think Bill said it all so I will pass.

"\j I , , -. #17b page 1 Courtney / Ambr/ I do have a question for Dale because he is our television , expert. In view of what has been going on here in the last week or so. I think some of it has to do with the lack of reporting. The way it should be, In other words, we have a session that happens on an informal session and people really don't know what is going on. What is the possibility of having that informal session televised also. Because, for one reason or another, there are a lot of times we aren't even covered by the press. The radio stations never seem to bother to come to see us and my first tenu on the council in '84 through '87 or so, we were covered by at least two radio stations. They stayed here for the whole event. In order to get the message out, r see that we have 60-70% of the houses are cable. That might be helpful also. And it might help erase some of this business. We come up with an issue and we are going to vote on it the ne,'(t day and that is where r get a lot of criticism from-as far as council activities. You know like the business with General Mills. We voted on it the same night that we had the p.h. If people would have been able to follow us more closely and better scrutinize what we are doing through those informal sessions why maybe we could ally some of those fears that we are trying to do something underhanded or heavy handed. Larson/ I would sure appreciate that also because r think the more input and the more public awareness there is. Recent surveys have shown that people want more government reporting on the local public access channels. It would allow me to speak less at formal meetings. A practice which irritates most of the councllmembers if not all the councilmembers. Because there are so many times that r think our formal action has to be given some context or some background for tile average viewer that wouldn't quite need to be there if we had our informal discussions where the rationale and everything is suppose to be brought out. And yet frequently isn't. I can't think of it being anything but a plus, And God knows we give enough money ought of that revenue from the cable television program that we could sure add the program. It is well within our budget. Helllng/ We have looked at It in the past. I think we have better equipment now. The lighting situation is better. r think you would need to consider tile forum that you would want and 'I ..~.~.,......~_..._.......,.~ __._____..._...___ ... . .~-~______. .....______....r~.,~oHWoII.'. " -'I " , , -.. #17b page 2 how you would want to be placed. Whether you want to try to sit around the table or use this kind of seating arrangement. I think that we can look into it and come back to you with some suggestions about how it can be done. I don't think that there is any question that it can be done. Larson! I would like us to discuss that. Kubby / I think it is a good idea. Ambr/ I know that there are other governmental units that run away from it but I really would encourage it. I think it is a tremendous asset that we have as a council. Kubby / That is something you and I can really agree upon. It is a great idea. Thanks for bringing it up. Larson! When we a-I am sure we will discuss this again but there was a student that did a survey of all the council members maybe three or four years back about the role of television and how it impacts on the meeting. It came to the conclusion that that particular writer didn't think that television did anything to harm our deliberations or the way people acted or anything much. There are those that might disagree with that. I don't think it would do anything but help the process. I would like to see us sit like this rather than around a table. We can discuss it. I just don't think it would look proper to have us clustered over a table. Ambr! You can't cover every speaker in that arrangement. Larson! It would show case some people better than others. It would look more professional to have us up here. The reason for the table is to facilitate discussion and I thlnkwe can get that done the other way. Kubby! I think you should think about that because the form of how we sit down there does facilitate discussion. And that maybe that is not the only option but there is an option I1mt is feasible. Accessible to the camera. Make sure that we don't- Courtney! If we ever get away from that seating arrangem'ent I would ahllost as soon eliminate informal meetings. Do everything In formal meetings. That Is why we have informal meetings so that we can take input from staff and just eye to eye Instead of talking into cameras.

I remember that vote very well. In any case, I don't think that Is the major issue. But I don't think anybody on this council shys away from discussing. There are ce11aln people that don't want to discuss certain things. I don't think it is because of how they are seated. Nov/ I disagree. I think this sitting in a row is not conducive to good informal discussion. But there is no reason why that table arrangement cannot be changed, Kubby / Sounds like there is interest, Dale. Helling/ Sounds like there is interest. 'Kubby / We will need costs and all of that kind of stuff. Helling/ We will come back to you with some ideas. Courtney / I would like to go back to just a second to Bill's discussion because there is one item that needs to be pointed out. Sometimes these absences come from special meetings that are called. We all uy to plan our vacations and our business trips around the council's nonllal meeting schedule. Marian passes that out at the first of the year and we all tJ.y to plan around that. There are occasions that come up where there are special meetings called by the mayor or the council as a whole and it is just impossible to rearrange trips that you have had planned for much time with those special meetings. However those meetings are figured into the percentages. I just think that that particular piece of information needs to be researched more because it definitely impacts some people's percentages. Larson/ For those few people 11mt follow our activities that don't read the Press CItizen I would just point out that I also wrote a letter to the editor that was In today. And if you are Interested in the issue there is something there from my point of view rather than have me go through all of that. , " 'I , , , ' '-.

Kubby/ We had talked-I don't know how long ago about putting some section In there mentioning that the city encourages voluntmy investment in affordable housIng. Since we were redoing that policy anyway. Why didn't we put that in there. Atkins/ I think why we didn't-we didn't really spend a lot of time discussing it. But I think the thinking was I want to satisfy this new state law. Get that behind us. If we have so many issues now to debate with these folks. I don't know if I mentioned to you that they have changed or reinterpreted the depositOlY law. Where we can invest our money now. Let me bring that element back to you. This thing puts us in full compliance with the law. That is what I wanted behind that. Kubby/ I understand that. But since we were amending it I though- as long as it is on some pending list then I know we are in discussion with financial institutions, That is the Important part but it is nice to have it within our policy. Atkins/ I understand that. I have no trouble with that. Courtney / I just wanted to have Don highlight any substantial , changes that were made in this due to the state changing their requirements. Yucuis/ The biggest change the state imposed on us was that if we are going to invest in the certificate of deposit, that has to be invested in a bank within our county that we reside in or an adjacent county. We cannot go out nation wide for better rates on CD's. We are required now- Courtney/It does not require that all investments stay in CDs Yucuis/ No. Nov/ But deposits also have to be local, don' they. Yuculs/ We have been doing that Our depositories. We have several of them listed locally within Johnson County. Courtney/Understand that the depository doesn't mean 1113t necessarily that the bank or the money stays at that bank...it could be used for investment and gov. bonds... Yuculs/ That is the biggest change. We have-there are some compliance changes where we have to let the auditors review our policy to make sure we comply with it.I don't think that that will be a big issue. We received some information from our auditors already on what they need to do and what they need to look at. There are some additional Information where we need to send the policies to all of the depositories that we ~_~.._..~_.,........,____~ ..,,.._..,____........,.1'.- ... -..-..--- _"...___~..I..... 11~'T . 1"~". ....,\'1 'i , i -, #21 page 2 have. I don't think that that is a big problem. But the biggest problem I believe is just restricting where you can invest your money if you do certificates of deposits. Courtney/It will in effect lower our yield. Because we were getting higher yields in CDs outside of the local area, It is state by passing this a restriction that lowered our ability to get the highest yield possible. I would urge people to contact you congress people about that. I hate getting lower yields than what is available. The state legislator and state senate. Kubby / We will be able to play out our CR times and not have to pull out Yucuisl The only thing existing is grandfathered in. But once it matures that is it. We have to Nov/ I have just one suggestion for future changes in this or any other. Can we have them underlined or shaded or somehow highlighted. So we know exactly what would has been changed. Atkins! We have that ability in our word processing. Try to do that routinely....have that flagged for you. We will make an extra effort to do that. '.. ", .tI.

Discussion. kubby / I am concerned about the 90 days, I think that is a log time and I am Qot sure I think there is a reasonable time. I know that when I do art fairs I have to get street vending permits that last the weekend And it is a pretty good chunk of money. Well anyway. It is from $5-30. Larson/ Why was this chosen, the 90. Karl' / The 90 days was chosen for two reasons. One" the code that defines sound equipment penuits and sound variances reference the sound variance at 90 days. So we were consistent with that and remained t at 90 days. Secondly, discussing it with some staff-the enforcement issue was felt that the 90 days would be a period of time that if an individual wanted to have a function for say evelY Saturday the month of October. Rather than an individual permit it would allow for uses within that event status. Also there was no definition of equipment on file. Kubby/ I think it would be nice-I don't know how complicated this gets for your office to have a daily or monthly permit or have different grades of permit because for someone who wants to do a one shot deal or a one day or two hour event. Having to pay the same amount of money as someone who is going to use the public r.o.w. and create the sound for a regular amount should I think have to pay more. Karl' / That was one reason with the 90 day penult also, we allowed the fees to remain the same. If we were going to get into an event situation we would have to define an event. Whether that be one day, shall not exceed three days, then take a look at the fee structure being broken down with those considerations also. Nov/ I think we have far more complicated fee structure on renting a shelter in the park than we do on putting out amplified music or any other kind of noise. I think that this is a nightmare. What will you do if you get two requests for a 90 day period and the 2 businesses requesting it are on the same city block. Karr/ The same tIling we would do if we get a one day permit. We would have to make that decision. Nov/ You would have to make that decision. We would have to find out on what day the applicant A is going to be doing this and whether or not It conflicts with the day that applicant B wants. :0' "'j I , , -. #22 page 2 Or else you are just going to deny them because the 90 day , period overlaps. Ambr/ Marian, do you think this is workable since you are the person that has got to play with it. Karr/ I believe what we have right now needs to be clarified. And when I approached council earlier on this they wished a recommendation and this is it. I am not attached to this. Courtney / I told her to bring us a munber of days and she did. Karr/ It wIll be the last time I listen to mayor. Larson/ Why would you just not want one days or three days or whatever. Karr/ As I said, I picked the 90 because of consistency with the variances that are on the books. Courtney/Weren't you using things like the Iowa Festival and so on that goes on for several weeks at a time. So they wouldn't have to reapply for evel}' day. Larson/ On the aplication does it tell you how may days they are going to use it. Karr/ It gives you a time period from a date to a certain specific date. Larson/ If someone came in and asked for 40 days and we felt that that was too long, you would just turn it down. Larson/ Yes. That is always an option we have is when they ask for a period of time. We have the option of saying that I can give you three of those four days but I am not going to give you the fourth date because. Larson! Do we vote on all of these. Karr/ No. Those are all handles administratively. Each sound equipment permit must be reviewed by approximately and approved by 6 different depts. and then they are issued through my office. Courtney/ It is only when the applicant disagrees with an administrative decision that we are contacted. Larson/ I don't see why having it too long is a problem. Because they are going to tell you on the application what dates they are going to use it for. Nov/ No they are not. Karr/ They are going to give you a span of time. Nov/ They are going to tell you some time within the next 90 days that they are going to use it \". .' '. -...,~~----_.. ----- "..-R'R" _, Ill'"" ." :'j I , , -. , #22 page 3 Larsonl No. They are going to say what the event is or they are not going to get it approved. They are going to have to tell you when they are going to have to do it. Kubby I That is not what Marian is saying. Novl That is what I would like them to do but that is not what the current law says. No. Larsonl I can't imagine someone asking for sound permits saying I am going to have a party sometime in the next 90 days, give me a permit. Karrl We don't usually get them for parties. We usually get them for things that are weather dependent. If the weather should change then their plans change. Novl They do the sanle for park shelters. And the park shelters not only have a date they have a time specific. And if they exceed five hours then you pay more money. Larson! You understand I am voting on this for what you want. If you don't want the 90 days say it now or forever hold your peace. Kubbyl I think we need further discussion. I'd like to defer this. McD! Why. Kubby I Because I think 90 days is too long and I think that if you get a permit for a longer period of time you should have to pay more money because you are lISing public space. McDI lt is the way it has been since 1982 is that there wasn't any time limit at all. Kubby I Times are changing. McDI But since 1982 there really haven't been that many occasions if any occasion where it has become a serious problem. Marian has felt that when she came across this that yes, there needs to be some clarification. Kubby IBut sometimes people want to have a rally around a specific issue that is a one day rally. TIley have to pay the same amount of money as someone who is dOing a three week event and that doesn't seem fair to me. That they pay the same amount. Larsonl The fee is not designed to compensate for the noise, The fee is designed for the administrative paper work and that is the same whether it is a six week festival or- Kubbyl And any kind of enforcement that has to go with it too. If you are doing a longer even we have to kind of keep an eye on " , I I I ] , ... . ,-~~----_.- ___'d,__"~n__'_'~_'_'."_ __'_'_"'__'_"_~""_l....__....... ..... - ~__"OftT~J. Iw\.",llir, , "'1 " , ' -. #22 page 4 things a little bit longer and keep track of it. So I think that there is some cost. Courtney/Any further discussion. Nov/ I read the old ordinance and it, to me, interpret as meaning an event. A permit for a specific time. It does not sound like it is open to any discussion in ten11S of time. Larson/ Would the Iowa Festival be an event then. It goes on 7 weeks or whatever. Nov/ I think we need to define it in some way. We need to say date specific in the ordinance. The same as they are doing for other city ordinances. You cannot get a permit for a park shelter without giving a specific date and time. This ought to be written in the same way. Larson! Mat'ian is saying that some groups don't want to do that because they have alternate dates or they are not sure of the exact date because of whether and such. Gentry/They have a date and then a raih date. Kubby / No problem. Another line on the form. Kubby/ I would like us to defer this. Larson/ I am a non-red tape person on this one. Courtney / We have a motion and a second for deferral. Karr/ A motion and a second for consideration. Kubby / Are people interested in deferring 111is. McD/ I don't cme. CHANGE TAPE TO REEL 92-74 SIDE 2 Comtney / I am asking if the motion for deferral override tile original motion, Gentry/No. Courtney/We have a original motion for approval by Ambr, McD.

Jerry Palmeri Administrator with the Iowa City Community School District. I would just like to say that we support this ordinance and very much appreciate the efforts of three of the city council persons, Karen Kubby, Darrel Courtney and Susan Horowitz, on serving on a joint committee with school board members as well as Steve Atkins and JIm Brachtel, the traffic engineer. We are velY concerned about the safety of children as are you. This is a fIrst effort and one that I think that we hope we will build on. It certainly can't be the only effort that we make. The lowering of speed limit alone, I would agree, is not going to handle all of the problems. But I think that we all know that if we slowed down the chances of injuring children will greatly be reduced. We have got a lot of education to do. But do appreciate the councils support of this ordinance. Thank you. Courtneyl Thankyou, Jerry. Kubby I Why don't we have to have a p.h. on an ordinance change like this. Gentry I It Is not a zoning ordinance and it is not an ordinance that Is required to have a p.h. under state law. Larson! My only comment Is obviously it can't hurt bu that I think education and enforcement are more Important than a strengthening of speed lImit action. And I hope that this demonstrates a commitment on both the school and the city to devote the resources to deal with the problem. It is again one of those many problems that can be solved by throwing money at it to some extent and I would lIke to point those out and say that It is nice to find little things to nibble around the edges at but If you are going to solve the problem you get the police cars out there and you get the school crossing guards out there and you put some money in the problem and you will make a bIg difference in it. I hope that this Indicates a resolve on the part of those people to spend the tax payers money to spend It In those areas. I think It does and I think we will see an impact. 'OJ ," f'__,_....._.-.__..._.....-....._...... ....-.. J ---..--.. .--- -. #24 page 2 Kubby / The nice thing about this is that it opens the door for me for communicating with the school board on a whole range of issues and that I am glad that the committee-Darrel is kind of the person iIi charge of the committee and we have decided as a group that we are going to be meeting not necessarily regularly but meeting again to discuss this broader range of issues and possibly changing this once we see how it works and what has been included or not included. I think that it is a good tiling that we are working together and will be not just enforcement but there will be an educational component not only from the city in terms of the police officers when people' are going more than 20 mph and getting stopped and getting talked to a little bit. But in terms of the school board I am anxious to see what the school district and the school board is planning on doing in tenus of the safety committee. It would be a nice integration of our working together. Courtney/ Just as a little bit offurther explanation on the process on this. The DPO, the district parent's organization, has a safety committee and the chair of head of that safety cOI11l11ittee the last couple of years has been Myrna Arner. I would just like to recognize her for all the hard work that she has done on this and the gentle and not so gentle prodding that has taken place to get the process moving. We did have a joint committee that was formed and actually went out on a couple of filed trips. A van, the traffic engineer, Jim Brachtel drove us over and we would sit and watch traffic at some schools and some of the intersections and then came back and met in the side room over here and came to some decisions. This is the initial one. There will be some future meetings. We haven't had one for a couple of months this summer. It kind of slowed down the process. But we did want to get this in place before the school year started. By voting on this first consideration tonight and collapsing on the next one we can get it In place.
