Dear Ms. Odom:
Thank you for your response to our Economic Development Coordinator's letter regarding
Kerr.McGee's property located at the intersection of First Avenue and Muscatine Avenue in
Iowa City.
Your letter states that Kerr-McGee's plans are to sell the subject property. However,you
stated that you are unable to estimate when all the necessary actions can be completed for
the sale of this site. I would assume you must have a general time frame during which you
hope to have this site sold, i.e. within the next year, within two to five years, more than five
years. I would appreciate learning this time frame.
Given this site has developed into an eyesore, the City hopes the sale and redevelopment of
this site will take place in the immediate future. Private investment has been occurring in this
area, and the City hopes the condition of your property will not prevent future investment in
the area.
Thank you again for the information you have shared to date, and I look forwerd to hearing
from you.
Sincerely,
~~

Iowa City, IA U2
Dear Mr. Schoon:
I am in receipt of your recent letter inquiring about our above referenced
property in Iowa City and your request for an explanation of our plans for the
property.
As you are aware, the site was formerly used for a service station operation.
Kerr-McGee Refining Corporation closed the station a couple of years ago and
the underground motor fuel storage tanks were removed. It is our intention to
declare the property as "surplus" and make it available for sale at a later
date; however, it can not be offered for sale at this time. We have plans to
perform an environmental site assessment, and if the results of that
assessment warrant further investigation or remediative measures, we would
need to complete those actions prior to selling the site. As to a time frame.
I can not estimate when all the necessary actions can be completed.
I hope this answers questions you have about our property. If you need to
discuss further, please contact me at (405) 270-2515. Thank you for your
understanding.
Sincerely,
KERR-McGEE REFINING CORPORATION

I am writing to fOllow-up a letter dated April 2, 1992 from myself to Kerr McGee. The letter
inquired about Kerr McGee's plans for your vacant filling station located at the intersection
of First Avenue and Muscatine Avenue in Iowa City. Given the high volume of traffic at that
intersection, the high visibility of the site, and the fact that the filling station has not been in
operation for a number of years, I am interested in learning your plans for the site and the
timing of those plans.
I would greatly appreciate if someone from your organization would be able to contact me to
discuss your plans for the site. You may write to me at the address below or call me at (3191

MEMORANDUM

To: City Council and City Manager
From: Jeff Davidson, Assistant Director, Planning & Community Development/I!
Re: Highway 6 Pedestrian Study
Last spring Council directed staff to conduct a study of the hazard to pedestrians along the
Highway 6 East corridor. This was at the request of several area residents, who are
concerned specifically about the hazard to children crossing Highway 6 in the Sycamore. Fair
Meadows-Lakeside area. A staff committee has been formed and is preparing to begin the
study in the next few weeks.
We have already met with the Grant Wood neighborhood association to make sure the study
addresses their concerns. We intend to keep them apprised of developments throughout the
study. The study will examine Highway 6 between Keokuk Street and lakeside Drive. There
is added impetus for the study due to the residential growth we are experiencing in southeast
Iowa City, as well as the pending south area annexation issue.
The focus of the study will be on determining if there is a hazard to pedestrians in this area,
and if so, what capital improvements can improve the situation. Staff is operating under the
policy direction we received from Council during the Kirkwood Avenue reconstruction issue,
to maximize traffic flow on Highway 6. Therefore, we will not be contemplating solutions
which negatively impact traffic flow on Highway 6.
Staff welcomes any comments or direction from Council regarding this matter. Otherwise,
we' hope to complete the study from mid.September to mid-November, with a report to you
for consideration during FY94 budget preparation. Let me know if you have any questions.

MAINTENANCE OF FIRE HYDRANTS
"'\:~
CITY OF IOWA CITY
September 18, 1992
The Iowa City Water Division crews will be starting the fall
maintenance on water hydrants on Monday, September 21. The crews check
and flush each hydrant in the city every spring and fall.
Hydrants are particularly vulnerable to damage and failure because
they are exposed to the weather. During the time the crews are in your
neighborhood, the water may be a rusty color. This is due to a change
of water flow and should clear in a short time. The water is potable
at all times.

I have summarized the General Fund revenues into ten (10) major revenue categories. The
analysis of each category follows,
General Fund Year-to-Date Budoet Analvsis:
1. Prooertv Taxes . includes the General Fund (8,10) and Transit (.54) levies.
$10.659,417 or 100.5% of the FY92 budget of $10.603,285 was received.
2. Prooertv Tax Transfer. Emolovee Benefits. This property tax revenue source is
receipted in the Employee Benefits Fund and then transferred to pay for benefits of
employees in the General Fund, Transfers totaling $2.152,476 were $211,275 or
8,9% less than the FY92 budget of $2,363,751.
The transfer to fund the employer share of Police and Fire pension costs was budgeted
at22.16% and 30,68% ($891,093) of base salary respectively. Actual transfers were
the same percentage for the first six months of the fiscal year but the State of Iowa
changed the rate to 17% for both plans effective January 1. 1992. Due to the
percentage decrease actual transfers were $702,821, or a savings of $188,272. This
accounts for most of the under budget amount.
3. Road Use Taxes. This is a gas tax that is received by the State of Iowa, paid to the
City on a per capita basis, receipted into the City's Road Use Tax Fund and then
transferred to the General Fund to pay the actual costs of the Traffic Engineer and
Streets Divisions less other revenues received by these departments. Transfers
totaling $2,087,214 were $223,773 or 9.7% less than the FY92 budget of
$2,310,987. Streets Division received a $210,000 grant from the Iowa Department
of Transportation for the City's asphalt overlay program in FY92, which reduced the
need for road use tax in the Streets Division.
4. State Funding - This revenue source, which comes from the State of Iowa, consists
of personal property replacement tax (flat $ amount), liquor profits (based on per
capita), municipal assistance (based on per capital, and Bank Franchise tax. Except
for the bank franchise tax, the State remits these revenues to the City in two equal
installments.
The State decreased the FY92 personal property replacement tax allotment by 11.7%
of the FY91 amount, from $386.435 to $341,162. Municipal Assistance and Liquor
Profits are distributed to the City on a per capita basis, The distribution (based on a
rate per capita) from the State increased only 7.7% yet the City 1980 to 1990 census
increased by more than 17 %. Again, the State decreased the allotment.
Bank Franchise Tax came in at $109,545 or $64,045 more than the budget of
$45,500, The $109.545 is $136,000 less than FY91, This revenue is generated from
a State tax on the net income of financial institutions. The state, for FY92 receipts,
legislated a maximum amount it will distribute to cities and counties. Once that
maximum is reached, 100% of the excess stays with the State,
5. Charoeback of Services - This revenue source consists of administrative charges to the
Enterprise Funds (Ex: Water, Parking, Sewer, etc.) for services provided in the Finance
and Public Works Admin, Depts., use of the Word ProceSSing Center, use of Central
Services, Cable TV transfer to Library, and the transfer of Parking Fines and a parking
loan repayment to the General Fund. The Administrative expense charges to the
0213'
'-.
-5-
Enterprise Funds and the Cable TV chargeback are calculated during the budget
process and then transferred to the General Fund proportionally each month.
The transfer of fines and the loan repayment from the Parking Fund are done in June
of each year, The Parking fines are revenue from tickets issued for expired meters.
The Parking fine transfer budget is $195,962, actual receipts were $214,012 or
$18.050 more than budgeted. Overall, chargebacks totaling $1.257,054 were
$19,680 or 1.56% more than the budget of $1.237,374.
6. Fines. Permits and Fees - This line item includes quite a variety of different revenue
sources. The largest are Recreation fees. building permits and inspections. parking
fines and magistrate's court fines.
Overall, fines, permits and fees totaling $1,685,745 were $186,437 or 12.4% more
than the budget of $1,499,308.
Recreation fees exceeded the budget by $45.172.
Building permits and inspections exceeded budget by $103,508. This reflects a
stronger economy and demand for new and reconstructed housing.
Parking fines exceeded budget by $48,451. This line item included revenue from
tickets issued for parking illegally as legislated by the State or City,
Magistrate Court revenues were $16,251 under budget. This revenue line item
includes fines and fees for violations of City or State Code adjudicated by the
Magistrate Court.
Library fines exceeded budget by $11,850.
Police Services were under budget by $15,138. The budget included $22,050 from
the annuel sale of police vehicles. The new vehicles scheduled for FY92 were not
delivered until July 1992. Therefore, the sale and/or trade.in of existing vehicles did
not occur in FY92.
All other fines, fees, permits and licenses totaling $244,450 were $8,845 or 3.75%
more than the budget of $235,605.
7. Contractual Services. The University Fire Contract receipts are received in the first
quarter of each year based on actual expenses of the Fire Dept. for the previous fiscal
year. Actual receipts totaling $545,667 were 343 or .1 % less than the budget of
$546,010.
Johnson County contract revenues are used to pay for the use of the Library and
Senior Center by residents who live outside the City limits of Iowa City but within
Johnson County, Actual receipts totaling $258,634 were 8,148 or 3,3% more than
the budget of $250,486.
Animal Control Services include fees for licensing, impounding and accepting animals
and contractual services from Coralville. Receipts exceeded budget by $20,222,
primarily due to a new fee schedule. Licensing (+ 6,777), impound fees (+ 3,908) and
acceptance fees (+ 12,890) exceeded budget by $23,575.

Human Services Agencies. Due to a change in accounting policy, only $34,925 was
transferred in from CDBG with a corresponding expense of $34,925 in the General

Exoenditures:
Overall, I believe the City General Fund ended the year in very good financial position relative
to actual expenditures compared to budget. Below is a summary of the actual compared to
budget expenditures by category:
Requests
FY92 FY92 Act. %
Budoet Actual' of Budoet
Personal Services $13,263,600 $12.796.416 96.5
Commodities 769,921 768,309 99.8
Charges for Services 4.104,066 3.887,198 94.7
Capital Outlay 1,264,390 1,265,051 100.1
Transfers Out 3.434.430 3,532,828 102.9
Interfund loans/prior 400 .543 367 .843 91.8
year encumbrances
Total $23,236.950 $22.617 .645 97.3
I FY92 actual expenditures include budget carryovers. A budget carryover request
is needed to "carryover" the budget authority to FY93 for expenditures authorized
in FY92 but not paid for as of June 30, 1992.
Expenses totaling $22,617,645 were $619,305 or 2.7% less than the budget of
$23,236,950.
Personal Services totaling $12,796.416 were $467,184 or 3.5% less than the budget of
$13,263,600. The major reason that personal services is under budget is that the City
budgets at 100% for personnel costs and through attrition, personal services will not be
staffed 100% all year but slightly less over a twelve-month period. Engineering was under
by $45,000 as they charge some of their time directly to a Capital Improvement Project.
Police and Fire Departments were under budget by $234,641. $188,272 was from employer
share of pension costs. The budget for employer share of pension costs was calculated at
22.16% (police) and 30.68% (Fire) of base salaries. The first six months of the fiscal year
actual contributions were at the budgeted percentages. The last six months of the fiscal year
the rate was 17% for both plans. Streets was under by $43,000 as pert of the streets
superintendent and clerk salaries were charged to the Water Division since the Streets Division
assumed tho supervision of the water distribution portion of the Water Division.
Charges for Services totaling $3,887,198 were $216,868 or 5.3% less than the budget of
$4,104,066. Court costs and services in the legal Department woro under by $20,000;
health care services in Police and Fire were under by $13,000; professional services overall
were under by $27,000; travel and education was under by $24,000; utility charges were
under by $31,000; repairs and maintenance were under by $37,000; chargeback for services
were under by $16,000; Aid to Agencies was under by $46,000 as actual expenses were
charged in CDBG but budgeted in Non-Operational Administration.
Transfers 'out totaling $3,532,828 were $98,398 or 2.9% more than the budget of
$3.434.430. The entire amount is due to actual transfers for funding the North Court project
being more than the budget. Total North Court costs are in line with the project estimates.

Dear Charlie, Darrel and Members of the County Board of Supervisors and the City Council:
Over the last few months, the City and the County have been discussing proposals to revise
the Fringe Area Agreement that regulates development within Iowa City's extraterritorial area.
Iowa City's decision to locate the newer wastewater treatment facility south of the corporate
limits coupled with considerations to annex additional Jand to accommodate growth in that
region, to extend major streets beyond the existing municipal boundaries and to accommodate
the residential development market within the county have all impacted the development
policies that have been formulated' for the fringe area.
As the chairs of the respective City and County Planning Commissions, we feel that it is
imperative that the fringe area agreement reflect current conditions and represent mutually
agreed upon policies which regulate development within the City's fringe area. We encourage
thet this document, as well as the County's 1978 Comprehensive Plan, be reviewed and
revised to reflect current policies regarding land use issues within the County, Following
approval of these revised documents, it is anticipated that the policies will be adhered to by
the Commissions, the Board and the Council with regard to recommendations and decisions
concerning fringe area development. In addition, we encourage the regular review and
revision of these documents to insure that they include current land use development policies,
As the first step in this process of updating the Johnson Countyllowa City Fringe Area
Agreement, we request that the Board and the City Council authorize formulation of a
committee composed of 'two representatives each of the City and the County Planning
Commissions, The committee will be charged with identifying the land use issues impacting

Re: Railroad Grade Crossings
To secure State funding assistance through the Iowa Grade Crossing Surface Fund (60%
State/20% RR/20% City funding split), the State must have funds avaiiable ("first come, first
serve") and both the Railroad and City must be willina to enter into an agreement regarding
the scope of work to be performed.
The Engineering Division has been workil,g with the Iowa Interstate Railroad to secure funding
agreements for surface repairs at First Avenue and Kirkwood Avenue since August 1991 and
January 1992, respectively. During this period of time, the IAIS Railroad has been less than
enthusiastic to enter into "acceptable" funding agreements as evidenced by delays in the
negotiation process.
Due to these delays, it is likely the soonest available funding is 1994.
A 1986 agreement between the IAIS Railroad and the City stipulates that the railroad is solely
responsible for maintenance costs at the First Avenue crossing. We have continually
requested immediate maintenance.

Re: Procter & Gamble
Recently, the state CEBA review committee met to consider Procter & Gamble's request for
an extension to the CEBA grant. Procter & Gamble had requested a 1 BO.day extension, the
state committee, however, chose to limit the extension to 90 days. They also asked the
company to provide the state with some type of project status no later than September 30,
While the state appears to be fully committed to assisting the P&G project, they are anxious
to see more activity.
I will keep you advised.

Council Work Session
September 15, 1992
Page 2
Wendy Roe, Executive Director of the Convention and Visitors Bureau welcomed
everyone and introduced Gar Johnson, Manager of the Holiday Inn.
Gar Johnson stated an invitation was extended from the Association to the
Councils to provide a discussion forum regarding their concerns on the proposed hotel/motel
increase (from the present 5% to 7%).
Mayor Courtney explained past allocations of the monies and planned distribution
of the additional monies. A memo prepared by the City's Finance Director show-
ing the tax receipts history was distributed. Individual Iowa City Councilmembers
expressed their views.
Mayor Kattchee stated the allocations of Coralville's portion of the tax were
set forth in the language of the ballot.
Association members expressed concerns regarding the additional tax and the
impact on their budgets relative to services and personnel. Members noted that
the average occupancy rate was 72 % and the market was very competitive in the
surrounding areas, Association members asked Council members to consider alloca-
ting more funds to the Convention and Visitors Bureau, noting that other
communities in the state with a 7% tax allocate a much larger portion to the
Bureau. Association members requested a clarification if the increased tax
could pass in one community and not another. Iowa City staff will investigate
and report back.
Meeting adjourned 8:35 a. m.

The rumor continues to circulate that Younkers will begin opening for retail business at 9:DO AM
Monday through Friday and that J.C. Penney and other mall retailers will follow suit. The City of
Iowa City has expended considerable amounts of money and labor to restrict parking In the
Capitol Street Ramp untll 10:00 AM when retail shops open, and anticipates additional expenses
In the near future. We are relying on the Information you provided on September 22, 1992 that
your anchor stores were not changing their opening time Monday through Friday as the basis for
future actions and cost to be undertaken by the City.
It Is anticipated that the City of Iowa City City Council will discuss the continuation of parking
restrictions in the Capitol Street Ramp on September 28, 1992, Any Information you can provide
on future retail hours In the Old Capitol Center would facilitate this discussion.
Sincerely,

Re: Successful grant application
We recently received notification that we will be receiving a
grant in the amount of $8,000 from the Iowa-Illinois/Trees
Forever "Green Team" program. Our application was for $9,475, so
apparently we will need to alter our plans to some extent.
The application actually encompasses four projects, as follows:
1. Plant 22 trees in Mercer Park (combination of deciduous
and evergreen trees).
2. Plant 12 deciduous trees in Fairmeadows Park.
3. Plant 20 deciduous trees in City Park to help replace
those lost in the 1991 flood.
4. Assist the College Green renovation project with
funding for 14 crabapple trees.
This is a matching grant, and the match will corne from existing
Park/Forestry funds, Project Green funds, Iowa City ReLeaf funds
and possibly some additional donations.
Our local "Green Team" will consist of representatives from south
East Junior High, Grant Wood School, Grant Wood Neighborhood
Association, Project Green, city staff (Terry Robinson and
myself), and possibly others.
We approach this effort to not only add numerous trees to four
city parks, but also as an educational experience for students,
and an opportunity to publiCize the importance trees have within
our environment.

12:00 Noon LUNCH MEETING TO DISCUSS SITES
Holiday Inn/Chauncey's Restaurant
Dear Friend:
We have received confirmation of two possible sites for our science center in downtown
Iowa City: the U,S, West Communications Building, comer of Burlington and South Linn
Streets; and the old Press-Citizen Building, 319 E, Washington Street.
Mr, Jerry Weldon, of the Des Moines office of V,S, West Communications, will give us
a tour of that company's Iowa City building, No negotiations have taken place regarding this
building on behalf of the science center, Rather, this will be a "first time" viewing for all of us
so that we can determine whether the structure would be appropriate for our needs,
As you may know, the old Press-Citizen building was subject to a purchase offer, but the
offer was subject to a series of pre-closing contingencies, The deadlines for that offer were
extended a number of times, By the final deadline, September 15, 1992, the contingencies werc
still not met, so the owner is considering all proposals, No negotiations have taken place
regarding this building on behalf of the science center, although we have clearly expressed our
interest in our possible use of the structure for that purpose,
Following both building tours, we plan to hold a "brainstorming" session to see whether
there is a consensus as to what actions, if any, we should take in regards to making a proposal
to establish a science center at either of these locations, This will occur during a "dutch-treat"
luncheon at the Holiday Inn/Chauncey's Restaurant, (Swan C),

You should know that during the past 18 months the building committee has carefully
considered a number of proposed sites for the science center in the Iowa City area, The two
structures described herein would appear to be the most suitable existing structures that our
community now offers for our possible use.
Your opinions concerning these buildings are valued. We hope that you can make time
in your busy schedule to join us for the building tours and the discussion to follow. Please call
by Friday, September 25. 1992, if you plan on attending so we can make all appropriate
arrangements. Best wishes,
