410 East Washington Street
Iowa City, IA 52240-1826
Dear Mr. Atkins:
Iowa City Municipal Airport
Iowa City, Iowa
Request for Release (Approximately 9.47 Acre)
The request for release of airport property, containing approximately 9.47 acres, as described and
depicted on the enclosed Exhibit A, is approved. It is our understanding that the City of Iowa
City will use this property to construct Mormon Trek Boulevard. The following provisions must
be made part of the instrument of conveyance for the sale of the property:
a The City ofIowa City reserves to itself, its successors and assigns, for the use and
benefit of the public, a right of flight for the passage of aircraft in the airspace above the surface
of the real property hereinafter described, including the right to cause in said airspace any noise
inherent in the operation of any aircraft used for navigation or flight through such airspace for
landing at or taking offfrom or maneuvering in the vicinity of the Iowa City Municipal Airport.
b. The City expressly agrees for itself, its successors and assigns, to prevent any use of .
the subject property, which would interfere with landing or taking off of aircraft at the Iowa City
Municipal Airport, or otherwise constitutes an airport hazard.
c. The City expressly agrees for itself, its successors and assigns, to restrict the height of
structures, objects of natural growth, and other obstructions to a height of not more than 833 feet
above mean sea level (AMSL), or other height as determined by an FAA airspace review under
Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 77. FAA Form 7460-1, "Notice of Proposed
Construction or Alteration" is to be submitted to the FAA and an unobjectionable determination
received prior to commencement of construction.
Runway 18/36 is to be closed permanently before beginning construction.

!
The City, through grant agreements with the Federal government, has assured that it will take
appropriate action to restrict the use of land adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the airport
to activities compatible with normal airport operations. Any non-compatible use of the subject
land by the Grantee, its successors or assigns, may jeopardize Federal funding for future airport
projects under any grant-in-aid program administered by the FAA.
The City is released from the conditions and restrictions of the Grant Agreements issued to date
insofar as this land concerned. However, as an airport sponsor receiving Federal funding by
virtue of the grant-in-aid program, the City is still obligated to comply with the continuing
commitments that it made as a condition for the granting of Federal funds. The Airport Sponsor
Assurances are the basis for it's contractual obligations.
Inasmuch as the City has committed to making the airport as self-sustaining as possible, fair
market value for the property should be obtained. The net proceeds received from the sale of the
land are considered to be airport revenue and must be used for airport purposes.
The next revision of your Airport Layout Plan should reflect the change in airport property.

Goal:
The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission (Commission) has arrived at a consensus that its members
are concemed that the identification and evaluation of properties for potential architectural and historical
significance be completed in the Near South Side Planning District.' With the recent successful completion of
the Plaza Towers and Transportation Center projects-valuable commercial, residential, and infrastructure
assets for the downtown, Iowa City's south side faces a tremendous level of pressure to redevelop. While
this can provide an important opportunity, there is all too great a possibility that important historic resources
will be tacitly ignored in the process of rebuilding our tax base.
The character and livability in any neighborhood is defined primarily by its buildings. Neglect, insensitive
alteration, or destruction of significant buildings results in a loss that extends beyond the loss in assessed
value. At the same time, preservation can bring economic benefits to a community. The National Trust for
Historic Preservation reports that $1,000,000 spent on rehabilitation will create more jobs and keep more
money in the local economy than the same $1,000,000 spent on new construction. Maintaining a
community's sense of place is beneficial in other ways. For example, A recent travei industry survey found
that more than 40% of Americans made visiting a historic place-a building, battlefield or historic
communrty-part of their vacations, and that these people spent nearly 40% more than the typical traveler.
The ongoing revision of the Preservation Plan will be addressing some of the issues related to heritage
tourism. Completing an inventory of significant buildings will help identify key structures that could contribute
to heritage tourism in Iowa City's south side. A brief and incomplete list of several building thought to have
the potential to be eligible, are already eligible, or have achieve a folk status of landmark in Iowa City's South
Side include: The Johnson County Courthouse, The Rock Island Railroad Depot, the Tate Arms, Iowa Crty
Water Works, Horace Mann Elementary, St Patrick's Church, The National Guard Amory, properties along
South Clinton Street including an old hotel near to the depot, row of small cottages along South Dubuque
Street, the M & M/Rock Island Railroad bridges at Capitol St. and crossing the Iowa River, and a few
remaining buildings from Iowa City's original industrial corridor along South Gilbert. Individually eligible
houses are also potentially located along Prentiss St., Court St., and S. Capitol St. Many of these properties
have been brought to the attention of members of the Commission by other members of the communrty and
press reports.
In addition to Iowa City's south side there is the imperative of residents in the Manville Heights neighborhood
to investigate the potential for a local distinct in that area. The Commission would be acting on the request of
a substantial majority of the residents attending the west side meeting for the Iowa City Preservation Plan
Update to have the Manville Heights neighborhood surveyed for a potential National Register Historic District
(multiple property nomination) In that neighborhood. The reason for combining the two Is due to the
perception that there is substantial pressure for redevelopment In both these areas. While the redevelopment
in the Manville Heights neighborhood is anticipated to largely occur in the form of building additions,
residents have indicated the allowance of accessory apartments in outbuildings could negatively impact the
quality of life in their neighborhood. The resident owners are asking for protection of existing buildings and
design review of any projects requiring building permits for new construction or alteration of building exieriors
in the neighborhood through a local historic district. An intensive survey and evaluation of existing structures
will provide the City of Iowa City with facts needed to determine if this request can be met by first determining
the potential eligibility for a national level historic district In this neighborhood. While it is possible to create a
local district without this step, the Commission feels that obtaining a NRHP designation first will provide
assurance that a local district was created without undue bias. The Commission is now aware that
incomplete research leads to later discrepancies that a professional and independent survey can help to
avoid. Additionally, a professional survey lends credence to the findings of the commissions should it choose
to vote In favor of recommending a local district to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council.
Coordination
. Meeting of the Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission, August, 10,2006.

This project involves the preparation of a National Register of Historic Places Multiple Property Designation
nomination for a local historic district historic district and the identification of boundaries for that district. The
consultant will prepare National Register nomination forms for review by the Commission, the State Historical
SOciety of Iowa, and the public. He or she will also prepare a map, property list, and boundary justification for
the proposed historic district for review by the Commission and the public. The final nominations and
boundary recommendation will incorporate comments from these reviewers. The nominations will be
submitted to the State Nomination Review Committee, while the conservation district information will be
submitted to the Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission. The consultant will travel to Des Moines to
present the nominations at the SNRC meeting.
The first step, after the selection of the consultant, will include a biock-by-block pedestrian sUlvey of the
proposed historic district in Manville Heights. Because of the real enthusiasm expressed by the residents of
this neighborhood, it is likely that an approach that combines volunteer researchers from the neighborhood
(as in the Melrose neighborhood) would be feasible.
For Iowa City's south side , the consultant would take a more cursory approach to identify areas of high
potential but the Commission would like to encourage member of the community to communicate directly
with them or through Friends of Historic Preservation to indicate buildings they regard as significant and in
need of more extensive research to determine final eligibility. This step will be followed by neighborhood
meetings and additional research as necessary. Members of the Commission and the consultant will
schedule public meetings to provide and opportunity for the landowners and residents in the survey areas to
learn about the process. All landowners and residents within any proposed districts will receive written
notification of meetings by mail. Based on past public attendance at similar neighborhood meetings in Iowa
City, it is anticipated that one or two meetings will suffice to acquaint interested parties with the project. Since
a meeting has already occurred in the Manville heights neighborhood this year as part of the preservation
plan update, it is possible that at least one of those meetings would not be needed. These meetings will
introduce the project and explain how the nomination process works. The meetings will also be used to teach
owners and residents how to research the history of their properties. The information gathered from the
owners will be added to the information to be completed in the background research and architectural survey
of these districts.
After the completion of a draft nomination of any proposed historic district and potentially individually eligible
properties outside of a district, the Commission and the preservation consultant wili schedule a meeting to
discuss the revised draft with owners of the properties to be incorporated in any nominations. Property
owners and residents will be notified of this meeting by mail. At the meeting, owners and residents will be
advised about preservation tax incentives, guides to remOdeling and restoration, and local historic
preservation resources. Public comments on the draft nominations will be encouraged and incorporated into
the final draft ofthe report.
Iowa City Is fortunate to have a wide array of organizations that support local historic preservation. These
groups include the Iowa City Friends of Historic Preservation, Johnson County Historical Society, the Noon
Lyons Club, and Englert Civic Theatre, Inc. a restoration and adaptive reuse project for Iowa City's only
remaining theater building. It is not currently planned, but it may be possible to enlist the assistance of some
of these local organizations to promote the proposed district. A citizen's petition may also be a useful tool in
gamering support and raising awareness of the proposed project.
Members of the Historic Preservation Commission have prepared this document and will be involved in
reviewing responses to the RFP for this project, selecting a consultant to complete the work, and reviewing
drafts of the nominations and the conservation district boundary determination. The Commission will also
host neighborhood meetings to keep residents informed about the project and to solicit publiC comments.
Following completion of this project, th.e Commission will take steps to pursue local designation of the four
historic districts and the recommended conservation district.
4
The Commission's City staff person, an Associate Planner with the City's Department of Planning and
Community Development, will serve as project manager. It is anticipated that approximately 30 hours of
project management time will be required to oversee this project, which wiil include tasks related to preparing
the RFP, the consultant subcontract, and other reiated documents, organizing neighborhood meetings,
responding to questions from the public, copying and distributing drafts of the nomination forms, general
project administration, and working with the consultant to provide assistance as necessary. The use and
involvement of volunteers from the neighborhood will be at the discretion of the consultant selected to
complete the nomination. Forty hours of City intern time will also be available to the consultant for completing
various tasks, such as properiy ownership information and photography, as weil as for routine tasks
associated with the project manager's responsibilities.
Work Products

The Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan, adopted in 1992, identifies several goals to be pursued
concurrently. These goals include the identification of historic resources significant to Iowa City's past (Goal
1). and the adoption of strategies in the conservation of historic neighborhoods that reflect their organic
development, historical roles and traditions, modern needs, and economic health and stability (Goal 10).
Such strategies include the designation of identified historic districts as National Register and local historic
districts in order to promote public awareness of these areas and to ensure that the districts will retain their
historic character into the future.

performance
The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission has a long record of completing grant programs
successfully. In 1983, a CLG grant was awarded to establish a preservation library in the Iowa City Planning
and Community Development department. The materials are accessible to the public, Planning Department
staff, and members of the Commission. The library is stili in operation and is continuously updated. A 1988
grant aliowed the Commission to compile and print a Guide to Historic Iowa City, creating an awareness of
local historic buildings and neighborhoods. Because of the local demand for these "guide maps," a second
printing was funded by private donations. Over 15,000 copies of the map were printed, and the Commission
is cunrently planning to produce a revised map. In 1990, the HRDP program provided a $25,000 grant to
assist in the preparation of the Iowa Cily Historic Preservation Plan, from which the current project has been
prioritized. The plan has been instrumental in guiding preservation initiatives in Iowa City. A 1992 CLG grant
resulted in the listing of the Brown Street Historic District in the National Register. The district has also been
designated as a local district. A 1995 CLG grant funded a survey of the Dubuque/Linn Street corridor, which
recommended the designation of a conservation district and a number of individual local historic landmarks
within this area. The remainder of the North Side and adjacent Goosetown neighborhoods were surveyed in
three phases. The first phase was funded by a 1996 CLG grant, the second phase was assisted by a 1997
HRDP grant, and the third phase was funded by a 1999 CLG grant. A 1993 CLG grant made possible a
survey of the Coliege Hili neighborhood, which resulted in the local and National Register designation of the
6
College Green and East College Street Historic Districts. A 1995 HRDP grant funded the National Register
nominations for these two districts, which were listed in 1997. An HRDP grant in 1994 and a CLG grant in
1997 funded a survey of the Longfellow neighborhood, which was designated an Iowa City Historic District in
2002. In addition to these state-funded surveys, the City of Iowa City funded a survey of the downtown Iowa
City commerdal district, completed in 2001. Currently, the City of Iowa City is hosting a HRDP Grant to
revise and upgrade the Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan which is underway.
The Commission also has recently completed the 73-page revised Iowa City Historic Preservation
Handbook, which in turn is based upon and refers back to the Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for
Historic Preservation. The Commission refers to National Park Service technical briefs and National Trust
information as needed, has sought to maintain a membership containing expertise in architectural history,
history, archaeology, and historically sensitive construction and renovation.
The City of Iowa City and its Historic Preservation Commission have a proven record of following the City's
Historic Preservation Plan, completing grant-funded projects and implementing the recommendations of its
surveys for legisiation and historic districting. Previous grant-funded projects have helped improve the image
of, and support for, historic preservation in Iowa City. It is hoped that the current momentum and community
interest coupled with grant funds will allow us to collect the necessary data to support additional historic
district, conservation district, and historic landmark. designations to protect the older threatened
neighborhoods in Iowa City and leave a valuable legacy for future generations.

Manville Heights Neighborhood Survey
Dear Members of the Iowa City Council.
My name is John Chadirna and I reside at 715 W. Park Road, Iowa City, IA.
It is my understanding that the Council will consider a resolution at the Tuesday,
08/22/06, City Council meeting to authorize a survey of the Manville Heights neighborhood
to determine the potential of nominating the area as a historic or historic-related
district. I fully back the resolution to authorize the grant process to do so and hope
that the Council will vote in the affirmative.
I am a life-long resident of Iowa City and recently moved into the Manville Heights
neighborhood after purchasing the Park Road residence with Donald W. Black. The home we
acquired is one of the first to be built in the neighborhood, construction completed in
January 1917. The initial occupant was Dr. Albert Byfield, who joined the UI faculty as
the first head of the Pediatrics Department at the University of Iowa Hospital. The style
of house he built is considered English Arts & Crafts, a rare architectural style found in
the United States with a "sister" home located in England.
I, along with friends, colleagues, and family, were surprised to discover that the
Manville Heights area was not already designated as a historic district. I believe that
this assumption is fairly common. The wide variety of architectural styles representing
the 1910s, pre-WWII, post WWII, through the 1950s / 1960s, line the neighborhood streets.
The Manville Heights area has been home to many Iowa City / University of Iowa families
that have provided leadership and recognition on behalf of our community, in commercial,
medical, or academic endeavors.
The process to obtain a grant to fund the historic survey is certainly worthy of your vote
to approve.
Thank you for your consideration.

Call To Artists
The Public Art Advisory Committee of the City of Iowa City is inviting proposals for a
sculpture or sculptures for the center of a roundabout at the intersection of Grand
Avenue and South Grand Avenue in Iowa City. The roundabout will be constructed in
2007. It sits at the top of a hill framed by University of Iowa dormatories and the
University Field House which is a recreation center. Views from the hill are of the Iowa
River and the Burlington Street bridge, an entrance to downtown Iowa City.
SUBMITTALS ARE REQUESTED BY OCTOBER 1, 2006.
Project Parameters
. The outcome of this project should be a sculpture or sculptures that call attention
to the presence of the roundabout but do not encourage pedestrian access to the
roundabout. Therefore, small details inviting close scrutiny should be avoided.
. The design of the sculpture should discourage the use of the roundabout as a
pedestrian refuge.
. Proposal should follow the guidance of the U. S. DOT/FHWA Traffic Design and
Landscaping-Roundabouts, Section 7.5 attached.
. To the extent possible, the sculpture or sculptures should incorporate visual
directional cues (eg. chevrons) reflecting the direction of traffic flow desired.
. Illumination, if proposed, should be shielded or downcast to avoid glare to
motorists.
. Kinetic sculptures and water sculptures will not be accepted.
. Artist must be able to collaborate with the City's engineering design consultant,
City staff, University of Iowa representatives and neighborhood representatives.
. Artist must be able to coordinate the delivery and installation of the artistic
element with City staff.
. Materials and design must be durable and vandal resistant. The resulting project
will be subject to Iowa weather conditions.
. Maintenance methods must be developed and documented and provided to the
City for future reference.
Project Budget
All artists must submit a budget which should include acquisition of the sculpture(s);
food, lodging and transportation for the artist; materials; shipping if necessary;
installation and any subcontracting. Total budget for the project will be determined by
the quality of the proposal. A meritorious and desireable proposal may require
fundraising by the City if the total cost of the project exceeds funds available.
Project Timeline
Work should be available for installation no later than July 15, 2007.
Selection Process
Submitted materials will be reviewed by the Public Art Advisory Committee in
collaboration with representatives of the Melrose Neighborhood Association, the
University of Iowa, and the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. A recommendation
of a selected artist will be made to the City Council. Final selection of the artist is made
by the City Council.
Deadline for Receipt of Materials:
Friday, October 1, 2006 by 5:00 P.M.

Project Opportunity
Background and Site Description
The City of Iowa City has begun design of a roundabout at the point at which a
downtown arterial, Burlington Street/Grand Avenue, becomes a local street, South
Grand Avenue, within the University of Iowa and the University of Iowa Hospitals and
Clinics (UIHC) campus. The street system is part of a one-way loop with a contra-lane
providing access to the UIHC emergency services. A roundabout is being installed to
better manage the traffic flow.
It is the desire of the City to enhance this roundabout with a sculpture or sculptures that
will call attention to the roundabout but will not encourage pedestrian access or travel
through the roundabout.
The roundabout is 51 feet in diameter with a 28-foot diameter center within which the
sculpture would be sited. Encompassing the center is a 10 foot mountable apron of
grey stamped Portland cementitous concrete. This apron will match the existing
medians on South Grand Avenue. A curb will define the center within the apron. As
shown on the illustration attached, there will be a limestone retaining wall to the west of
the roundabout along one of the street curblines; a band similar to the 10 foot apron will
be in front of the retaining wall.
Design Considerations/Project Goals
. To add to the visual appeal of the area.
. To provide visual cues to the directional flow of the roundabout traffic.
. To obstruct the view of motorists across the roundabout, thereby focusing
their attention on the flow of traffic.
. To call attention to the presence of the roundabout.
. To provide an artistic element that requires minimal maintenance and is
vandal proof.
Submission Materials
A. Artists should submit twelve (12) collated sets of printed submission materials,
organized in the specific order as described below.
1. A letter of interest (one page maximum) including any background information
that would support the artist's qualifications for this project. Include public art
experience with budget size of past projects.
2. A current professional resume.
3. A page listing three (3) references. It is emphasized that letters of
recommendation are not requested.
B. Artists can submit up to three concepts for consideration and up to three views of
each concept as digital photos or on a CD. The concept views should be presented
as follows:
. Number of photo in upper right hand corner
. Name of artist at top
. List of concept views referencing corresponding photo numbers.
D. All materials submitted will become property of the Iowa City Public Art Advisory
Committee and additional views or details may be required at the discretion of the
Committee.
SUBMISSIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY 5:00 P.M.

roundabout.
7.5.1 Advantages
Landscaping in the central island, in splitter islands (where appropriate), and along
the approaches can benefit both pUblic safety and community enhancement.
The landscaping of the roundabout and approaches should:
. Make the central island more conspicuous;
. Improve the aesthetics of the area while complementing surrounding
streetscapes as much as possible;
. Minimize introducing hazards to the intersection, such as trees, poles; walls,
guide rail, statues, or large rocks;
. Avoid obscuring the form of the roundabout or the signing to the driver;
. Maintain adequate sight distances, as discussed in Chapter 6;
. Clearly indicate to the driver that they cannot pass straight through the intersec-
tion;
. Discourage pedestrian traffic through the central island; and
. Help blind and visually impaired pedestrians locate sidewalks and crosswalks.

Public education during
construction is as important as
the public education effort
during the planning process.
Landscaping is one of the
distinguishing features that
gives roundabouts an aesthetic
advantage over traditional
intersections.

that might tempt people to take
a closer look.

7.5.2 Central island landscaping
The central island landscaping can enhance the safety of the intersection by mak-
ing the intersection a focal point and by lowering speeds. Plant material should be
selected so that sight distance (discussed in Chapter 6) is maintained, including
consideration of future maintenance requirements to ensure adequate sight dis-
tance for the life of the project. Large, fixed landscaping Itrees, rocks, etc.1 should
be avoided in areas vulnerable to vehicle runoff. In northern areas, the salt toler-
ance of any plant material should be considered, as well as snow storage and
removal practices. In addition, landscaping that requires watering may increase
the likelihood of wet and potentially slippery pavement. Exhibit 7-24 shows the
recommended placement of landscaping within the central island.
The slope of the central island should not exceed 6:1 per the requirements of the
AASHTO Roadside Design Guide 191.
Where truck aprons are used in conjunction with a streetscape project, the pave-
ment should be consistent with other streetscape elements. However, the mate-
rial used for the apron should be different than the material used for the sidewalks
so that pedestrians are not encouraged to cross the circulatory roadway. Street
furniture that may attract pedestrian traffic to the central island, such as benches or
monuments with small text, must be avoided. If fountains or monuments are be-
ing considered for the central island, they must be designed in a way that will
enable proper viewing from the perimeter of the roundabout. In addition, they must
be located and designed to minimize the possibility of impact from an errant vehicle.

7,5.3 Splitter island and approach landscaping
In general, unless the splitter islands are very large or long, they should not contain
trees, planters, or light poles. Care must be taken with the landscaping to avoid
obstructing sight distance, as the splitter islands are usually located within the
critical sight triangles (see Chapter 61.
Federal Highway Administration
Landscaping on the approaches to the roundabout can enhance safety by making
the intersection a focal point and by reducing the perception of a high-speed through
traffic movement. Plant material in the splitter islands (where appropriate) and on
the right and left side of the approaches can help to create a funneling effect and
induce a decrease in speeds approaching the roundabout. Landscaping in the cor-
ner radii will help to channelize pedestrians to the crosswalk areas and discourage
pedestrians from crossing to the central island.
7.5.4 Maintenance
A realistic maintenance program should be considered in the design of the land-
scape features of a roundabout. \t may be unrealistic to expect a typical highway
agency to maintain a complex planting plan. Formal agreements may be struck
with local civic groups and garden clubs for maintenance where possible. Liability
issues should be considered in writing these agreements. Where there is no inter-
est in maintaining the proposed enhancements, the landscape design should con-
sist of simple plant materials or hardscape items that require little or no mainte-
nance.

REPORT ON
REVIEW & ANALYSIS OF FCC FORM 1240 & 1205 [2006]
FILED BY
MCC IOWA, LLC
FOR
IOWA CITY, IOWA
JULY 28, 2006
SUMMARY
This is a review of Federal Communications Commission ["FCC"] Fonn 1240
certified on April 27, 2006 and FCC Form 1205 certified on April 27, 2006, filed by
MCC Iowa, LLC ["Mediacom"] relating to the updating of permitted rates for basic tier
cable programming service ["BST"] and equipment installations and rental services
which are regulated by the City ofIowa City, Iowa ["City"]. These filings were
transmitted by Mediacom cover letter dated April 27, 2006, which indicates that price
adjustments would take effect on or about August 1,2006. A subsequent FCC Form
1240 with the same certification date was transmitted by Mediacom cover letter dated
April 26, 2006 but received by the City in July, 2006. This transmittal included a
restatement of proposed rates and charges and the cover letter stated that all price
adjustments would take effect on or about September 1,2006.
The conclusion of a review of these materials is that Mediacom's amended
calculations and presentation result in the correct determination of Media com's maximum
permitted rates for BST programming services [FCC Form 1240] and the maximum
permitted rates for equipment installations and rental services [FCC Form 1205] pursuant
to FCC regulations. The actual rates that Mediacom proposes to charge as of September
1,2006 do not exceed these maximum rates and therefore are reasonable.
Mediacom's amended calculations determine a Maximum Permitted Rate
["MPR"] of $11.8179 per subscriber per month [inclusive of FCC regulatory fees] for
BST cable programming services. Mediacom has selected to charge subscribers at the

rate of $11. 81 per month, to be presented on the bill as the separate charges of $11. 7 5
and $0.06, the latter being the required FCC regulatory fee. These proposed charges
remain unchanged from the current charges. Mediacom is proposing slight adjustments to
only two of the current rates for equipment installations and rental services. These
changed rates and the unchanged rates for equipment installation and rental services do
not exceed the maximum permitted rates determined by this FCC Form 1205 pursuant to
the FCC regulations.
Accordingly, the proposed "Operator Selected Rates" shown on Mediacom's
attachment titled "Summary of Maximum 'Permitted Rate/Operator Selected Rate" are
reasonable and may be allowed to go into effect as requested by Mediacom. Rice
Williams' adjusted FCC Form 1240 and reviewed FCC Form 1205 are attached hereto
and are a part of this report.
ANALYSES
The following analyses of Mediacom 's filings assume the accuracy of the limited
information supplied by Mediacom in those filings. No additional information was
obtained for these analyses, and no audit of Mediacom's books and records has been
done and none of its system cost assumptions has been checked against any independent
sources.
FCC FORM 1240
Pursuant to FCC regulations, cable system operators are permitted to adjust their
rates periodically for increases and decreases in costs relating to retransmission consent
fees, copyright fees, programming costs, certain cable specific taxes, franchise-related
costs, and FCC regulatory fees. On September 15, 1995, the FCC adopted new rules
giving regulated cable operators the option of filing for rate adjustments on an annual
basis instead of the existing quarterly system embodied in the FCC Form 1210.
Subsequently, the FCC issued its instructions and analytical model for the FCC Form
1240 which implements the latest filing rules. Mediacom's predecessor elected this
option in 1996.

Review ofFCC Form 1240 & 1205/2006
July 28, 2006
Page 3 of5
The standard FCC Form 1240 annual filing system examines a stream of historical
costs that have occurred over a period oftime, relates this to the revenues actually
collected during the same period and computes a monthly adjustment to apply to a future
rate. The rate to be charged in a future period is developed based on a projected 12
months of costs and the unit rate adjustment, or "true-up," from the historical period is
added to this projected period maximum permitted rate to determine the total maximum
permitted rate to be charged for the future 12 months period. Each subsequent annual
FCC Form 1240 filing will evaluate a historical, or "True-Up Period," and a future, or
"Projected Period," as part of the process of establishing a new maximum permitted rate
for a future 12 months period. For its year 2006 FCC Form 1240 filing, Mediacom has
chosen to establish rates for the "Projected Period" of August 1, 2006 through July 31,
2007. The "True-Up Period" covers the period of April 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006.
As the first step in the review and analysis of Mediae om's filing, the information
provided by Mediacom was incorporated into the official FCC Form 1240 analytical
model. However, Mediacom's information was incomplete and certain presentations
appeared erroneous. Also, Mediacom's FCC Form 1240 did not reflect the correct
starting points based upon the prior year's adjusted FCC Form 1240 that had been
approved by the City. Ms. Banfield of Mediacom was contacted regarding these matters
and after several exchanges of information provided an amended FCC Form 1240 in July
2006. While this most recently filed FCC Form 1240 should have been marked on Line
4.b. as being an amended filing, and the cover letter date is erroneous, the filing itself
reflects a correct and good faith effort to respond to Rice Williams' concerns. The
amended filing incorporates the recommended changes in a correct presentation. The
results are consistent with the results of Rice Williams' adjustments to the original filing
and the calculations otherwise comply with the FCC regulations for preparation of the
FCC Form 1240.
This correct determination of the 2006 MPR pursuant to the FCC Form 1240
methodology produces an MPR of $11.8179 per subscriber per month, a figure that
includes the FCC regulatory fee of$0.06. Mediacom is proposing an "Operator Selected
Rate" of$I1.81 to be presented on subscriber bills in two components: $11.75 for BST
cable programming service and $0.06 for the FCC regulatory fee. This rate level to apply
to the Projected Period does not exceed the MPR determined by the FCC Form 1240, as
amended, for the Projected Period. Accordingly, this rate is reasonable. Moreover, this
rate is the same as currently being charged, so subscriber bills should not show any
change after the effective date of September 1, 2006.

FCC Form 1205
The FCC Form 1205 is used to update charges for renting regulated equipment
[eg., remotes and converters], equipment installations [eg., house wiring, service drops,
extra outlets, service tier changes] and the Hourly Service Charge ["HSC"] for service
calls. Charges established pursuant to this form are based strictly upon the actual cost of
regulated equipment and installations plus a reasonable profit. The financial information
utilized in this form is to be derived directly from the operator's general ledger and
subsidiary records that are to be maintained in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. This form is required to be prepared and submitted on an annual
basis. .
As with the Mediacom's FCC Form 1240, this review of Media com's FCC Form
1205 filing assumes the accuracy of the information supplied by Mediacom from its
financial books and records and related sources. No audit of Mediacom's books and
records has been done and none of its system cost assumptions has been checked against
any independent sources. As is permitted by FCC regulations, Mediacom's FCC Form
1205 aggregates costs for equipment and installations on a system-wide basis.
The information supplied by Mediacom has been incorporated into an official FCC
analytical model which provides the formulas and format for all the calculations required
for preparation and completion of the FCC Form 1205. It appears that Mediacom has
followed the FCC's analytical format and the results shown on the FCC Form 1205 filing
made by Mediacom match the results obtained from the official FCC analytical model
reconstructed with Mediacom supplied cost data for the purpose of this review.
However, as in prior filings, Mediacom has chosen not to include the minimal
level of supporting information required by the FCC Form 1205 filing instructions. These
matters have been addressed to Mediacom during previous reviews and Mediacom
responded with appropriate supplemental informationjustitying its costs and presentation.
As this filing appeared to make no departure from prior filings, it was assumed that there
was no need to again investigate such matters.
Based upon its FCC Form 1205 presentation, it appears Mediacom has determined
its maximum permitted rates for equipment installation and rentals in a fashion consistent
with the FCC regulations. The rates proposed for the Projected Period remain below the
City ofIowa City, Iowa

Page 5 of5
maximum permitted rates determined by the FCC Form 1205 and therefore are
reasonable. Moreover, with the exception of the rate for the remote control, which
decreased slightly, and the rate for converters, which increased slightly, no changes to
current rates will be made.
CONCLUSION
Mediacom's choice of an "Operator Selected Rate" of$II.81 per subscriber per
month [inclusive of FCC regulatory charges which will be separately stated on subscriber
bills] to be effective as of September 1,2006, as requested, is reasonable and should be
approved. As this proposed rate for the new rate year is at the same level as the current
rate, no change on subscriber bills will occur. The rates and charges developed by
Mediacom's FCC Form 1205 also have been shown to be reasonable. Mediacom
proposes largely to maintain the current rates during the Projected Period and all rates
proposed by Mediacom are less than the allowable maximum rates. Accordingly, these
rates may be put into effect on or about September 1,2006, as requested.
