Courtney /
Roland Wehner/ Wehner, Pattschull, pnrfner Architects. I've been
asked by the IOlVa City Community School District to inlormthe
council if you haven't already heard. that they're intending to
build a new schooj on Rohret Road. I'm here \0 give you a little
information about the schedule and answer any questions that
you might have. The proposed schedule is that bids will be
received toward the end of Mayor June and construction will
start immediately. Occupancy will be fall of 1994. I won't take
any more time than that unless you have questions or would
like to have a preview of the site plan or whatever.
larson/ It wouldn't've been part of your job responsibility to help
choose the site at all would i1'l
Wehner/ It \Vould not.
larson/ Tell them if there's anybody that I would've liked to hear
b'om, it would of been of them before they had chosen the site.
Wehner/ I can take that message.
Horow/ Will there be a traditional half moon entrance and exit for
the schools'!
Wehner/ The proposal is that Rohret is here and the Kennedy tract.
the cornJJeld. includes the green area. The green area either
side of the side of the school is currently under. belore
development. There will be a horseshoe drive of some
conJJguration. [ have been in contact with the planning
department to coordinate our work with their suggestions.
We're also investigating a secondary loop Ibr bus loading. Bus
loading and car loading is a problem at everyone of their
schools and we're going to try to develop some kind of a
scheme in this school that segregates the buses from the
automobiles. Our biggest concern is the coordination of our
connections to the street by the time we go out [ell' bids. we'll
havr to establish the level of the sidewalk and the connection
to Rohret Road in our contract documents. And if the city has
any intention in the improving of that st reet to substantially
[ower or raise the grade, that could effect our work. That's the
only thing thaI's critical.
Horow/ Could your bids be done sequentially, though. to get the
school done at one point and the details of the road at a later
poin1'l Because we haven't even begun doing anything.

Wehner! Well. we'd certainly prefer not to do that because it
requires bidding it Iwo separate times.
Horow! But it is possible.
Wehner! We probably would not do it that way. We might let the
contract for everything out to the property line and see if the
engineering department would consider gravel in that
connection until the paving is done. Which would.
Larson! Which would be ] 998 fiscal year.
Wehner! ]998?
Larson/ That's when it's scheduled for. I don't mean to take it out on
you but I'm a little frustrated about the school putting a school,
choosing a school site without a road to it, and asking the city
to put in a road without any contribution from the school
when there were many other sites considered. none of which
required that kind of investment by t'L\payer.
Wehner! The population centers probably have a lot more to do with
the selection of the school site than putting them on a paved
road. I have a paved road in front of my place. It wouldn't be
too good a location for a school. Any other questions or
comments.
Ambr! You're looking at opening in September of '94.
Wehner/ September, '94. It'd take about fourteen months to build
this thing.
Ambr! I really like your plan. separating the bus lanes from the
pick-up. I think that is, there's so much confusion at other
schools.
Wehner! Anyone who has had kids that you've had to fight with the
busses knows that particular problem.
Larson/ When's it gojng to be completed?
Courtney/ And your primm)' question is what the final conJ1guration
of Ihe road probably will look like, not what. when it will be
done. And. Rick, can we maybe come up with some sort of idea.
theoretical idea about that without commining to a speciJ1c
timel
Rick Fosse! We've dealt with thaI on each of the subdivisions as
they've been constructed out there and they connect to the
road as it exists today with provisions 10 go back and remove
the pavement back to about the end of the ret urns and then
match new paving when it goes in.
Wehner! But you don't ani icipale a large change in grade.
Fosse/ Not a large.

Wehner/ NOlhing like a couple of leel.
r'Osse/ I hope not.
Courtney/So you can work with him and provide him pretty close to
what you think you will come up with?
Fosse/ Yes.
Courtney / Yes.
Wehner/ Thank you very much.
Horow/ Thank you.
Wehner/ Unless there are other questions.
Larson/ Fall of '94. for when schoo] starts jn September?
Wehner/ Yes. and we expect to be aboul400, 450 kids at that lime.
l.arson/ So unless we \\"<1I1t bus loads and truck loads of school kids
on that road. we have to build it this summer? 'Cause we
couldn't get it done lhis summer before August. And thai's a
how many million dollar project?
Kubby/ Three.
l.arson! We just have 10 come up with three million on a months
notice. That's wonderful.
Kubby / Well, it seems like we need 10 have some discussjons not
only among ourselves. but with the school district.
l.arson! Sounds like a done deal to me. It would've been nice to get a
phone call beforehand.
Horow! There goes Kirkwood.
Kubby I Well it doesn't necessarily mean we have to do it. There are
pros and cons.
l.arson/ That's whatl don 'I like about it. ] would love to.
Kubby III puts in lhe position of haVing to do it.
l.arson/ I'm not going to hold lhe safety of our schoo] children
hostage due to the fact they're Inconsiderate of the taxpayers
01' Iowa City.
Courtney / It's nol that there's no road there at all, Handy.
l.arson/ Are you kidding me? We've had 50 letters in the last three
years.
Courtney / I understand.
l.arson! There's no way that road could be left that way with school
children in that kind of numbers.
Kubby! The problem is, it places us in a difTicult position in thai we
need to discuss that with the school officials.
1I0J'Ow/It's difficult, butllol Impossible.
Larson! It places lhe taxpayers In a dlmcult posltlon, that we have to
decide either to jeopardize safety of school kids, or unduly

this would've been put somewhere where the road was there.

consideration for them. It's tlleir taxpayers too.

Larson/ Good luck.
Courtney / listen.
l.arson/ You'd better get more evidence on your side if you're going
to cu'gue their case.
Courtney / The existence of a road is not the only consideration they
had to make in this plan.
hlt'Son/ Okay. But il's one of the f~1CtorS they should have considered.
Courtney / It was one of them. It just didn't dictate where they ended
up putting it
hll'son/ I'm not talking about dictation's. ['m saying that if that
didn't sway the ballot.
Courtney/That's what you wanted it to.
l.arson/ That's not what] said at all, Darrel. ] can make my oIVn
statements.
Courtney/ You wanted them to put the school someplace else because
that road wasn't done.
Larson/ That's right
Courtney / Welllhey other things to consider.
].arson/ Well you think that of the other ten or so sites they could've
considered, that none of the rest of them are good enough that
this road consideration.
Courtney / Do you know all of the reasons they didn't consider any of
those others?
Larson/ ] know one of the reasons had to do with dollar signs. And
the taxpayers arc paying those and they should've considered
all of the tiL'\payers instead of just their own budget. And you
know that as well as ] do.
Wehner/ Thank you very much.
Kubby / Thank you.
Courlney/ You're timing was impeccable, wasn't it?

Courlney/ Any other items for public discussion Ihat's not on
tonight's agenda?
Ilorow! Are you sure youwanl 10 follow Ihatup?
larson! You picked a good night though. Bud, using the Senior Cenler
as a.
Bud Gode/ 1'mnot going to bring up anything controversial. I'm only
here on behalf of the Senior Center Commission to bring you up
to date on the last month or so of activities. We had a real good
Christmas session. We had two activities that were of interest.
The Theater Fund Raiser brought in about $1300 into our gift
fund. The holiday bazaar brought in a little over $1200. Those
two items. with approximately a Ihousand dollar grant from
the Rotary Club will be used to but three automatic door
openers. The one on the front door facing Linn Street and the
two first floor rest rooms. We had asked CCN for door openers
and they didn't feel as if we were high enough on Ihe priOJities.
We still hoping that \Ve could put the automatic openers on all
of the rest room doors. but apparently, until we can either get a
higher pIiority at CCN or until we have some more fund raisers,
that \Viii come a little bit at a time. We did want you to know
that we are trying to help supplement the budget that you're
able to proVide for us. One thing I was asked by the
commission to bring to your attention, I don't know whether
you read your own budget better than you read the press. but
on, back on December 22. there was an item probably
elTOneously quoted or printed, but the Senior Center had it's
request denjed for $130,000 for additional staff.
Larson! I asked about that Mr. Gode and thaI's accumulation of all
the additional budget thjngs. Only a small portion of that was
staff.
Gode/ Okay. That was \Vhat I was going 10 tell you. Was only $62.000
was for additional stan~ Actually we were requesting one
additional employee.
lllrson/ That came from a piece of poor grammar in our citizens'
summary of the budget.
Gode/ Okay. We didn't know where it came from and we thought we
should probably straighten it out. Does anybody have anything
you \Voulcllike me to take back 10 t he commission? Any
complaints. criticism?

Kubby/ I want to know when the next Senior Center dance is
happening. Does it have a date yet? Is there going to be a
Valentine's Day dance.
Code/ The next dance? The dance committee is. as you know, we
function strictly on volunteer commillees and the past dance
committee has asked to be relieved. They've been pUlling them
on for years and they would like for somebody else to take that
responsibility.
Kubby/ Quick, John. Maybe.
larson/ This is particularly appropIiate because last Thursday, after
the council budget meeting. most of the council went down to a
beautiful new restaurant in town, it was the Airliner, and had a
few appetizers. served until 12:20 every night, and cocktails.
And aftenvards both Miss Kubby and Mr. McDonald went
dancing at Cabes.
Kubby / To a reggae band.
Larson/ To a reggae band. A fact of which rdrs. rdcDonald is aware
and none too pleased. But they might be very willing to get on
that citizens' committee for dancing at the Senior Center.
Kubby / We could have reggae music.
Code/ We will accept ,my body that.
Larson/ I just want people to knoll' that ofT duty. council bickering is
not anythjng that goes away from the council chambers. That
they coexist and get along very well in part. And do not reenact
their djsagreements in public.
CourtneY/Just so there's no misinformation here. they were properly
chaperoned by the mayor.
Larson/ That's right, Darrel was up. I heard you wouldn't dance.
Kubby/ He IVouldn't dance with me. No.
Code/ But we will be here the night of budget hearing to put our two
cents worth in on your budget. Olhenl'ise thank you for your
cooperation.
Courtney/Thank you.
Kubby / Thanks. Bud.

Courtney! Open the p.h. Any discussion on this?
Kubby / Droves of people are coming up.
Gently/ Mayor. you may want to continue the hearing if you're going
to choose the.
Larson/ Yes. so moved. The next meeting.
Courtney/Any public djscussion?
Nov/ If Ihere is no public discussion, may we ask a staff member to
explain what's going on so we get it into our public record. Just
in case someone chooses to come next time because they've
heard this.
Ron Boose/ Which item do you want to address, the board item?
Courtney / That one also.
Nov! The ordinance mainly.
Boose/ There's a couple of major considerations. One of them is an
amendment dealing with a new state law requiring backflow
prevention devices to be installed in a much wider range of
occupancies than has been in the past. The other item is a
recent proposal by staff to consolidate some of our citizen
boards, essentially eliminating the Board of E'\aminers of
Plumbers and adding a representative that IVould be a plumber
to the Board of Appeals and giving them the responsibility for
the plumbing code also. And I think the reason for continuing
the p.h. is this has come up at sort of a last minute thing and
we really haven't had time to discuss it with the two boards
involved. I'd like some time 10 get their input so they could
come before council.
Courtney/Thank you. Any other public discussiotJ?
Now a motion to continue.
Moved and seconded (Kubby/Iarson) to continue the p.h. to
f'Cb. 23. Discussioll.

Courtlley/ City Council Information.
Horow/ Yes. On lvlonday the 25 J,mualY at 7:00 Plvl the Healthy
People 2000 of Johnson County will be holding a brieJ1ng
workshop in the IvIcCalley ]{oom of Mercy Hospital. JanualY 25,
7:00 PM tl'fercy Hospital. This will be discussing the health
priorities of Johnson County, existing resources. any proposed
structural change. Primarily to get people more involved in
planning for the use of t he resources and to address the
problems in Johnson County. Healthy People 2000, JanuatY 25,
7:00 PM at Mercy Hospital. That is it.
Ambr! One item. We have had considerable correspondence and
phone calls Ji'om folks who are interested in paving the alley
between Johnson and Dodge Street. Is there anything up on
that.
Atkins! Coming up tonight.
Ambr/ Also in the minutes of P!R I noticed that there is interest by
some citizens to have the Haddock House, which is the historic
structure of 2800 Rochester Avenue moved from there in the
even that it isn't sold to somebody else, put it in the Hickory
Hill Park and restoring it to its Oliginal condition with gardens
and an al'borelllm and perhaps using it as just a historic center
or warming hut for sledders and skiers. If I missed something
in subsequent P/]{ minutes I would like to be apprised of that.
I would like to know would the City of iowa City own the house
then. Are we going to heat it. Are we going to light it.
Larson! Maintain ill
Ambr! Maintain it.
Atkinsi Several issues. Bill. Terry and I talked about it just for a few
moments today and evidently the Commissjon is going 0 be
reViewing that particular opt ion. One of Terry's concerns and I
think it is a legitimate one is placing Ihe Haddock House in
I1ickolY HlII Park is somewhat remote and he is concerned
alxlllt vandalism and maintaining the thing well into the future.
Maybe amore visible location might be appropriate. That js
one of the issues. The COl1llllission has also talked about just
what kjnd of financial obligations are we going to take on if in
fllctwe do do that. So I suspecl you are going to be hearing a
lot Jllore about it. Folks m'e shopping around legitimately
trying to find sOllle options to preserve the property. You
should hear 11I0re about it.

Ambr/ I am not saying it is a bad idea. It sounds like a good idea. I
agree with the l~lCtthat it probably ought to be more visible.
l.arson/ I would encourage our stall to communicate with those well
intentioned people. Some of them have called me to relay the
kinds of concerns the city would have so they can develop
strategies for dealing with them. Obviously it is a concern that
is not something that can be maintained. If it is going to be a
historical property and we own it. we don't want it in a place
where people can break in and have parties there and have
keggers and all of the kind of stuff. They need to figure out a
way to respond to our legitimate concerns as they are tIYing to
respond to legitimate concerns by many of us to preserve it.
Atkins/ That is just the kind of thing that is knocking around. Butl
will make sure that those folks that have expressed an interest
are infol1lled.
l.arson/ !\oJaybe a trust fund 10 provide for the maintenance and
those kinds of things. Wel1located.
Kubby / People are going to really want to have a keg gel' to drag a
keg down Hickory [Jill to the secluded location.
Nov/ Have we have problems \\~th the houses that were in City Park.
There are a couple of log cabins. Have they been.
Atkins! No. At least it has never been brought to my attention in
any time that I have been here. Any time you have a property
that is secluded in a sense that there isn't enough drive by
trank I think that was the concern.
Nov/ Those fit that desCliption.
Atkins/ City Park is going to pick up a heck of a lot more trank than
you will find up in that- driveby in the sense that you can run
a police car through there hlirly easily and they are not really
off their beat. 1m saying is.what [ pointed out to Bill is simply
one of a number of observations that they made. l(andyadded
a couple of extra ones and they talked about how are we going
to maintain this into the future. There has got to be some sort
of penllanent funding mechanjsm in place. Whether it is the
government or as you pointed out a trust or something.
Larson! [want to help them get it done. What I don't want for it to
get some kind of cursory review from P/l(, get to us, we bring
up legitimate concerns, they get stalled or go back and deal
with those. Get it done at the front end and get their input
there and maybe we can gel it done easier.
Courtney/ Make sure you ask them where the money is coming from.

Atkins/ I think the commission has already talked 10 a couple of
folks about that. I will make sure it is said again.
COllltney / Any more items.
Nov/ I would like to remind evelybody that the League of Women
Voter's Legislative F0I1Il11 is on Saturday morning. They are
going to continue this year and the first one is set for Janumy
30. 9:30 Am, at the Iowa City Public Library.
Kubby/ I had a few things. I was walking down by Prentiss and
Capital and where the Capital View Apartment that didn't get
built still has some footings and tie rods sticking up and I had
asked about this a couple months ago. That it doesn't seem like
a very safe situation as well as the back part of the hill is
eroding quite a ]ot.
Atkins/ That is a little easier said than we can do it. Naomi brought
this to our attention. We have had the individual in court. We
have done what I think we can do. r will find out if there is
any more we can do. My conCl'rn was those re-bars. Of course
if you go in and get a court order to remove the re-bar that is
tantamount to saying those foundation Jarms are really no good
anymore and they would have to be torn out. T!1at is some
expense later on.
Horow/ What about the erosion.
Kubby/ Erosion control and the re-bars, jf they are doing it after the
process-
AlI<ins/ We have done some \Vorl( and I think we have charged
them. Don't expect to get anythjng back. That is pretty much
what we have been told but I will find out.
Kubby/ The woman that lives in the house, Ihe old woman. probably
has never had that window exposed for so long.
Atkins/ r remember Ihe time of that construction because John had
gotten a number of calls from her. I don't recollect her name
right now. r will find out more. I will let you know.
1<lrson/ 11 may be one of those things where timing on getting any
liens we might have would be appropriate. Bank or a financial
institution is probably going to take it over. We may want to
pursue proper legal act ion before somebody forecloses or
whatever.
Alkins/ Okay.
Kubby/ The otl1l'r thing is is in the article that Bud Gode referred to
there was a listing in the CIP fbr the pedestrian bridge Ibr
$Cd 8.000. I had thoughl what we had agreed to was

engineering study and not the full construction necessmily of
the bridge and that I am just afraid at having that figure in the
paper like that made the neighborhood assume we had
decided.
Courtney / The article that he is refelTing to is in December which
was before our discussion. We have had one since then.
Atkins/ 1 think you arc referring to the list of projects that the press
ran-I don't remember when it was. Then following that
discussion or following that article which was a listing of the
capital projects, you gave us instructions to come up with an
amended plan which allowed for the engineering design to be
performed. Actual capital financing of that project has not
occurred. 1 think you are correct Karen, there could be some
misunderstanding. The press was legitimately just printing
what the CIP total costs.
Kubby/ It would be helpful if the press could print that that is not
exactly what we decjded.
Nov! Which pedestrian bridge we are lalking about.
Kubby! Over lIighway 116. Because I don't want the neighborhood to
see-they saw it in the paper. They feel like it was a
commitment from council and that is not what we had decided.
It is important thatlhey know what was decided. Marsha can
get a hold of the Association and 1 am sure IVord will flow
down very quickly and they will be here for the budget
hearing.
l.arson! Even betler Steve-coat tailing. 1 had a couple of calls form
the community and just so they don't have to do it all through
the neighborhood association, could you just say what exactly
we decided. Your understanding with regm'ding to the timing
of when you are going to get back to us. Whalthe prospects
might be or the timing of any funding decision for thai
overpass.
Atkins/You will have a budget hearing on February 23. And making
the assumption that you would pass and adopt the budget on
March 2, antiCipation of get ting it oIT to the state by ~Iarch 15
jn accordance with the'law. You will adopt an operating
budget. Within that operaling budget we have a debt service.
Another words the amount of money that is set aside 10 pay ofT
our debt. We built jnto thai that possible $3 million over the
next two years for a variety of projects. In conjunction with
thai when we had our budget meeting Ihe other evening I also

laid out for you the next seven or eight years what type of debt
service might be available to you. What lI'e anticipate doing is
taking the list of projects. pretty much what was printed in the
press, performs a litlle more detailed analysis for you, bling
those back to you because they far exceed our ability to
finance. You would then have information and set some
priorities and we will take those projects, put them in the
priority order that you establish. Then apply the remaining
financing that we might have available. In affect we would
have a capital budget. hopefully through the year 2000 as
opposed to just a t\Vo year project. That will begin occurring,
assuming how fast you come to your priorities, hopefully some
time in March.
Larson/ What would happen is that we would say we are going to do
about $3 millionll'orth of CIP. We would set our budget to pay
the interest in that kind of project magnitude and then decide
after that in MmTh or so whether the pedestrian overpass
project is one that would fit into the $3 million or would have
to wait.
Atkins/ Absolutely. Exactly.
Larson/ They don't need to lobby us before we do the budget
because it is not gojng to be part of our budget decisions unless
we say well lets do $4 million because we really want to fit
that on in. We want to make sure that we can fit it in or
something.
Atkins/ Unless you choose to change some priority or you fell Ihat
this is an jmmediate need that supersedes all of your other
needs. Just like the Hohret I{oad discussion. That would take
up whatever bonding capacity Jill' the next two years just doing
that one project.
Larson/ You are talking alxHlI Hohret Hoad now. But the $3 million is
established as about the level of funding Ihat we can do with
the budget as you have envisioned.
Atkins/ That is correct.
Larson/ I am just trying 10 let Ihem know whether they need 10
organjze comments at the budgel hearings or whether it is
really going 10 be done laler than thaI.
Alkjns/ J think the public needs 10 come 10 the budget hearing or
communicate In writing or sOlue lilshion to you wll<lIlheir
preferences are because you take I hose preferences ilnd
evaluale them andlhen come up wilh some sort of priority. As

you know form the lislthere just simply the demands far
exceeds your ability 10 finance. It goes well beyond our legal
ability to finance even if you would choose to do Ihal.
Larson/ Bul we willnol gel the analysis to prioritize the whole list of
CIP until after the budget.
Atkins/ Yes. Thai would be my intention to do that sometime in
March.
Kubby/ Information at Ihe public hearing can be used to help us
prioritize.
Larson/ But our procedure is to look at your analysis before we
prioritize and we are not going to look atlhat until March or so.
Thank you.
Kubby / I have one last item for public discussion. And that is I want
to advertise the People's Law School which I thjnk is a reaHy
neat idea that-It is cosponsored by the J.C.Bar Association and
the Iowa City Public Ubrary. I think it is a real good public
service to make some real common legal issues accessible to lay
people. They are in Room A from 7:30-9:00 PM and they are
there on various nights. februaJ}' 3 is buying and selling a
new home; Feb.11 Children ,md the law; Thursday, febntary
18, Advanced directives. living wills, powers of attorney, etc.;
Tuesday, febJ'llaJ}' 23, Wills, t111StS and estate planning;
Thursday, March 4, Employment law and discrimination issues
and Tuesday, IvIarch 9, New criminal legislation and related
constitutional issues. And these are all free and open 10 the
public and they are taught by experienced la\\~'ers and judges.
I think it is a real opportunity for people 10 get common legal
information in a way thai js easy to digest in a shon period of
time in a beauliful facility. Thanks.

SUBDIVISION.
Comment: The Subdivider's Agreement for Apple Ridge Subdivision obligates the
Subdivider to construct a stormwater management facility. This obligation
constitutes a lien and a cloud on the title of each lot In the Subdivision. The
Subdivider has substantially completed the stormwater facility but a general
release of the facility Is not yet appropriate. This Limited Release Agreement
removes the cloud on the title to the lots in Apple Ridge Subdivision while
protecting the City by establishing an escrow fund which will be retained until the
facility Is completed.

Schoolboard member AI LefT Hemarks page]
Courtney /Have you come lor part of the school presentation. Holand
has already-did you want to say something further on it.
Kubby! His presence is probably due to our televising meetings. ls
that true, Al.
AI Leffl I have the enjoyable experience of being home this evening
and then I turned on the t.V. And I had the pleasant smprise
of of seeing Holand Wehner here talking. I didn't hear all of hjs
but I heard all of councilor Handy Larson talk. And it is a little
bit discouraging as a schoolboard member when you spend as
much time and effort in locating a school. Getting a bond issue
passed and being accused of short notice. We all have got
funding problems. We need to communicate apparently. But I
couldn't quite frankly sit at home and listen to that harangue.
It very much disappointed me. It vel)' much upset me. If I
ever came off that irresponsible as a public official] would
second guess myself. No wait a minute Handy. We spent a
good considerable portion of time going into demographic
studies of population that was placed \\1thout our involvement.
In growth of the city that was nor with our involvement. We
put schools where populations come. And we are accused of
short notice and thanks a lot Ibr 30 days and we have got
problems. We appreciated last board mee'ing when the City
Planning Commission came to the Board and said we are going
to annex some distriels. A big area. We are going to have
growth and we want to set aside some schools. We have got
problems and you have problems and it is hard lor us to say
that we can put a sc hool where you thjnk it should be in
advance of the growth. It may come and it may not. We have
seen school districts build new buildings in anUcipation of
growth and sell them before they are occupied because we
didn't have the IlL'\ury of planning to the Nth degree. We have
to respond 10 where growt h happens. And when we get
accused of irresponsibility il is very hard to take and I wjj]
open it to questions.
I.arson/ I understand that you are upset bul how do you think we
feJl when neither Steve Mkins nor I nor anyone else was
listened to or even asked in terms of council members that [
know of in terms of what the ramificalions are for the
taxpayers of each different site. I know thai you have lots of
faclors in determining which sites but you Gln't tell me there
aren't not siles that wouldn't rellujre that investment.

LelT/ Tell me where they arc.
Larson/ Vou are telling me that there is no vacant land on any street
in Iowa City.
l.eff/ Handy. you build where demographics put the students.
Larson/ But there is all kinds of vacant land near Mormon Trek and
IIighway.
Lefl/ Be serious. Be complete.
larson/ Vou are trying to tell me that there is no site on a developed
street that that school couldn't I1t on.
Left/ Be serious.
Larson/ I am being serious.-
Lefl/ We don't get any input on growth. The southwest quadrant
grows by leaps and bounds.
Larson! You say you couldn't put it in the southwest quadrant.
Leffl Where is the road.
Larson/ There are lots 01' roads in the southwest quadrant.
Leffl Name them.
Larson/ Mormon Trek is a good example. There has just been a new
church put up there because they recognize that there is a road
to that area.
Lefl/ I would suggest that you sit down and look at the
demographics that we sat down and looked at. With a student
population and the growth of the area and then you make your
comments about your responsibilily and short noticed.
Larson/ I will let others analyze but I am telling that there is vacant
land that the school could go on that is on a street that would
save the tax payers that money.
Lefl/ You can pick vacant land forever but if YOll arc going to
strategically locate it to where the students are. Vou got lots of
factors and I invite you 10 a meeting. And I will invite you to a
meeting where we will inform you of what we went 1hrough to
hear it. We want to cooperate. But when I sat at home and
heard this and YOll acted as if we had no more care about
anything and we went on Ollr own way. I'll will invite YOll to a
meeting of our demographic group and you can see what we
had to st udy and If YOll can make Ihose same comments aJ'ler
that Ihen so be it. Bllt a11east YOll will have had the chance for
input that I don't think you have had to dale.
Courtney/ I would like to point out that Ihis was 1I0t a subject that
was discussed and voted on by the council and it was not an
opinion expressed by 1 he majority.

Larson! I am well mIme of that. His comments are only directed at
mc, narrcl.
Len/ / invite you to watch your council meeting on tape and that
portion of it.
Larson/ I make no apologies for it Jllr. LefT. I am sorry that you are
upset and I can tell YOll are but I have to tell you is IVhat you
are saying today is exactly what 1 am complaining about.
Which is that you are saying that the key issue or one of the
many issues that you considered but one that is more
important than whether there is a street there or not is the
demographics and I am saying that that is your decision. / am
not quatTeling with it. It is your prerogative to make that
decision. 1 am saying that one of thc issues that would have
been more imperative to me would have been the expense to
the ta;..;payers of the locations site. The demographics. That is
your decision that that was more important to you than the
infrastructurc. And/ am saying that/ would have put
different priorities on that. I am not saying that you have to
put it in northeast/olVa City. / am not changing the
demographics. / am saying southwest/owa City is fine,
Lefl'l/ invite you to watch the tape.
Larson! I have no problem with the tape.
Len'/ You haven't seen it yet.
Larson! What difference docs that make. I \Vas here.
Lefl'l/ invite you to watch it and then you can make that judgment.
/ think that we need a better sense of cooperation between.
Larson! That is my point. Which council members, which staff
members were listened to on the issue of-first which council
members were asked. Secondly, which stalT members were
listened to onthc issuc of infrastructurc would be required for
a school.
Lcn"! Handy, thc subdivisions wcrc approved and thc building took
place. Let us liKe that liKt, first. Okay. Lct us just look at that
filct for a minute. We could go on and on and on. We aren't
asking each other-wc each have our own concerns and wc have
to respond taour own concerns and they arcn't necessarily
independent on one and another. But we don't sit hack and
throw stones and throw accusations lh,l1 wc weren't informed
and we wercn't considered. Wc are trying to solve problcms in
responsivc ways and wc have taxpaycrs out here who arc
paying their t,exes for both governing bodies. And wc have to

be a little bit more responsible than what we are appearing to
be.
Larson/ That is my point exactly. That is Ihe point of my statements
tonight. Is that you have the same taxpayers that we do and-
Leffl I didn't gel that to be the point of your statements. I don't
need to beiabor this. I appreciate the opportunity to talk.
CouIiney/ I have had opportunities to sil down with the
adminjstration over this item and as recently as two or three
weeks ago Steve and I visited with Barb and George on it and I
understand why the decision was made where it was made.
When I looked at all of the available sites that you considered,
I agree with you. Jl still doesn't do away with the fact that we
have got to comer up with some money to build a road. We
were going to have to come up with money 10 build a road
eventually out there anyway. i\nd this may only be
accelerating it whether than causing it.
LefT/ We, by all means, don't mean to compound you problems and
we undersland the t,LX limitations that are placed on you by
the state and it is a very difficullthing to prioritize limited
dollars. All we are l1ying 10 do is say we need 10 have you
know what is happening
CHANGE TAPE TO REEL 93-11 SIDE 2
But we know there is a shortness for dollars and there js a real
fight for the dollars and everyone that is looking for has an
important object. So we put that in the hopper. The decision is
made. If we have to bus students because of inadequate roads,
we are going to bus student s. Because they are going to get
there safely. This is what we are trying 10 coordinate and
communicate.
Kubby/ And there are many times when we talk about subdivision
there are council members who brjng up does this affect the
school district and we go round and round with statements of
we want that to be a consideration and people saying it Is not
our jurisdiction. If il is zoned land and a legal thing we have to
go ahead and to it. Some of us do want to open doors of
communication to lalk about how each of our decisions alTect
the other body.

Court neyi I had discussion son that at the same meeting I spoke of
and Barn is perfectly happy with the amount of information we
are sending her on that. She relays it onto the board.
Leffi I understand thai you have requirement of subdivisions that
meet you subdivision requirements and you can't arbitrarily
deny them. You have no contral over what area develops over
what speed. At one point in time there were limited areas thai
you could build lots on because of sewer moratoriums. ete.
And now you can built virtually almost anywhere within Iowa
City that is a buildable lot or ill the surrounding county and
you have no control over what is going to develop with what
speed. And we appreciate that. There is no way you can have
a crystal ball that says that nor do we have a Clystal ball that
we can build in advance so we respond to the pressures of
growth and we respond to where the pressures develop. We
have no contralnor do we expect to. It is just that we have to
coordjnate and communicate and realize that we have a
problem that growth creates.
Larson! If you could only hem' that you are saying all the same
thjngs that I am trying to say which is that that
communications wasn't there. That consideration was not
given and I am not saying that you don't build schools where
the growth is. I <1m saying that there are areas within the area
where there were streets adequate to support the school. And
you chose for land price or for whatever reason. not to use
those places. And you have to agree to that
Leffl Land price did not have a thing to do with any of our choices.
Larson! I don't what issues made up your mind about it but you
can't tell me that there is no developable land in that quadrant
of the clly that has a streN right next to the developable land
where you could have put the school.
Leffl You can't show me very much in that regard when you talk
about a population growth. We were concerned that we were
pulling it too close in and not hlrther oul. There are all kinds
of concerns. There isn't development south of Hohret road to
speak of. II is north and it is already there. You talk about the
number of st udents. You build towards an area where you
already have population. You don't build ,1S a magnet and have
a growth move towards you. Handy. I sincerely ask you to
review the tape.

Kubby! There are some people here from the neighborhood that I
don't know if they want to say anYlhing or nol. This would be
the time before we vote. If they have anything can we give
them some time.
Tom !\Jenlz! I have spoke to all of you about lhe alley in question
here. I would just like to respond to a letter from a Mr. Scott
Barker who I noticed whose address is fort Meyers, Rorida. Itl
He doesn't have to drive in the alley every day like I do. And
his third note on this I~tx he asks is it unfair 10 pay for lhe
alley. !\Iake me pay for all the paving behind my property and
then have to pay for pm1 of the pm1ng behind the properly
did not contribute to it. The first part is that no one made him
pay for the southern half 01' the alley. That was privately done
on a voluntmy basis. Secondly, as he paved the south hall' of
the alley, the people on Ihe north barely have a chance to use
that. We don't drive in that direction except to the RR trar:ks.
If it wasn't for the heavy development that has happened in
the south half of the alley the north half would not need
paving.
Atkins! Excuse me, Tom May I interrupt you for a moment. For
council and for linda, are we getting into a public hearing on
this issue without proper notice.
GentlY! This is a prelimjnary resolution. It does not require a p.h.
Atkins! I don't want council to feel in a bind by hearing this lhing
nolV without proper notice.
Courtney/ We will have, before this process is over,
Atkins! We will have to have a hearjng.
Genl1}'! But not yet.
Coul1ney! We will have, before I his process is over, a full p.h.s for
Ihe other side to respond 10 his comments. We have had some
problems in the past on extemporaneous hearings like this and
the other parlies aren't available to speak.
Atkins!That is alll am concerned about because thjs does involve a
direct assessment of a properly owner.
Courtney! Inlhat particular case, where I got in trouble, was that
there was never going 10 be a p.h. and we allowed. But this one
will have a full p.h. on it.

Courtney/ Go ahead.
Mentz/There has been a traffic count done on the alley and from the
numbers I received it looks like above 90% of the traffic that
goes through the south half. Although there \\,IS some question
to it because of the condition of the road. the trafj]c counters
were not 100% accurate. It does appear that at least a great
majority can go completely through the north half to the south.
The city has tried a number of things to improve the alley.
They put down recycled asphalt which lasted for about a
month and after that all summer long there have come to grade
the alley about once evelY two weeks. They grade it more than
any other alley in town. Yet the condition of the alley is always
very poor. There is no other solution but to pave this alley and
it is only fair to make people who use the alley pay for it. Is
there any questions.
Courtney/ Can we layout maybe what the future steps are that has
to be done here.
Gentry/ Yes. At this point the cil)' engineer will begin design plans
and then there will be a formal resolution and a p.h. and the
benefited districts will be figured out as to which or how much
each property will be assessed and il is a lengthy process. II is
a legal process and there is more than adequate notice and
there is also an opportunily for Mr. Barker or anyone else to
objecl and trigger not only an extraordinary vote from you but
a unanimous vole depending upon the objection.
lIorow/ When do we anticipate thaI all of thjs-when will they be able
to anticipate that the alley will be actually done if evelything
goes fine.
Gentry/ The process takes at least (10 days.
1101'011'/ So it still would be probably targeted thjs summer. Okay.
Courtney/ Moved and seconded (Kubby/ !lorow) to accept
correspondence on Ihis item. Discussion.
All in favor (ayes)
