MEMORANDUM

To: Marcia Klingaman, Neighborhood Services Coordinator
From: City Manager
Re: Pedestrian Overpass. Highway 6
I
At the most recent City Council Informal budget discussion, we were directed to prepare
preliminary plans and other related engineering work to allow the Council to undertake a more
Informed decision concerning the proposed pedestrian overpass. Monies will be appropriated as
part of the capital Improvement program for this preliminary work. There was some concern that
the project as represented In the newspaper may have been fully funded. This Is not the case.
The preliminary work will be Incorporated Into the more formal and detailed capital Improvement
program review that will occur, some time In March. The Department of Public Works will prepare
preliminary sketches, contact the State Department of Transportation to secure their opinion
and/or any other restrictions they may have on such a project proposal, as well as determining
rlght.of.way, other support projects necessary, such as sidewalks to the proposed overpass, how
maintenance would be performed, etc. As this Information becomes available, we will provide you
with more details.

MEMORANDUM

From: Iowa City City Manager and Director of Public Works
Re: Wellhead Protection Policy
This memorandum provides additional follow.up Information regarding the Iowa City water
resources project.

Some Johnson County residents have voiced concern for potential agricultural land use
restrictions from a Wellhead Protection Program.
As you know, a wellhead protection program Is a tool to prevent the possible contaminatlor of
a non.replaceable resource - groundwater. The prevenllon of environmental contamlnallon to
the greatest extent possible Is the polley of the Slate of Iowa.
Allhough the Iowa Department of Natural Resources has been given the general authority to
administer the wide range of regulatory and non.regulatory programs to prevent water pollution,
other State and local agencies also have the authority to administer similar programs. In fact,
recently some local health departments have been taking the lead by Including wellhead
protection In County Planning and Zoning ordinances or other related health codes.
The need for local govemments to be Involved In such programs Is noted and recommended In
the Iowa Groundwater Protection Strategy of 1987. Local citizens benefit from decisions which
protect groundwater and are best able to generate workable solutions to regional issues and
problems.
Attached are examples where two County Boards Included wellhead protection In their Planning
and Zoning ordinances; Wlnneshlek County, Iowa, and Portage County, Wisconsin, Please note
that nellher program makes a point to severely restrict average fann practices on land
surrounding wells.
Allhough the Wlnneshlek County program Is not as elaborate as the Portage County program,
both are illustrations of the willingness of a county government to worlt out strategies that are
specific to their regions to protect groundwater.

WATER RESOURCE AND PROTECTION PLAN
PURPOSE AND PHILOSOPHY OF A WATER RESOURCE PROTECTION PLAN:
Good water is one of the most essential elements for ,life and
cui ture. To enhance and protect our welfat'e, it wi 11 requit'e
that good and adequate water be available for domestic,
agricultuY'al, industrial" envit'onmental, and t'ect'eational uses.
Pt'otecting the integt'ity of all the co\mty's sUl'face ar,d
gl'oIJndwateY' should be a pY'incipal element of the county's
development fY'amework.
WHAT POOR QUALITY AND .INADEQUATE WATER RESOURCES CAN CAUSE:
- Financial haY'dship to tt'eat contaminated water
- Financial hardship to dY'ill a new, deeper well
- Health pY'oblems '
- Difficulty in attY'acting or retaining business
- Difficulty'iri ~es~le of home, business, 'est.
- EnviY'onmental damage
- Loss of water Y'elated touY'ism
TYPES OF WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLANS:
1. Wallhead protection: pUblic, pY'ivate, industY'ial, 1t'Y'igation
2. HydY'ologically sensitive aY'eas: Y'ivers, stY'eams, wetlands
maY'shes, lakes
3. GY'eenbelt concept: 'caves, blUffs, sinkholes, timbeY' stands

CITY OF 10 WA CITY
Re: Melrose Avenue Bridge Reconstruction Project
Dear Mr. Leff:
Herein are replies to Nate Moore's concerns presented In his letters to the City regarding the
Melrose Avenue Bridge Replacement Project:
Nate Moore's Letter Dated Mav 11. 1992:
1. The strip map originally showed the rlght.of,way for Melrose Avenue west of the bridge
as 66'. This Is Incorrect and the strip map has since been revised to show this rlght.of.
way as 60'.
Rlght.of.way and/or temporary construction easements are not required on University
Heights Second Subdivision lots 272.280, but are required on Nate Moore's Property
located In the City of Iowa City adjacent to said lots 272.280. See Attachment A for
location of right of way and construction easement parcels necessary to be acquired.
2. Sidewalks on the bridge are 8' wide. At the northwest corner of the bridge, the sidewalk
must taper from 8' on the bridge to its present width adjacent to Nate Moore's property.
The design of the taper has not been determined yet. It does not appear that the rlght.of.
way and construction easement required from Nate Moore will Involve any trees or exterior
post lights.
3. NNW developed a drawing which shows how the pavement west of the new bridge can
be striped to provide two (2) westbound lanes and secure four (4) parking spaces next to
Nate Moore's property. The current handicap parking space would be eliminated but
could be relocated as one of the four that Is secured after construction since there Is
currently no curb ramp to accommodate the handicapped. As I understand it, this drawing
was presented to and discussed wllh Nate Moore at the site during one summer day,
1992.
4. The present driveway access approach to lot 280 of University Heights Second Addition
Is located In University Heights; it will be reconstructed unless the Clly of Unlvarslty
Heights opposes II.
There does not appear to be a good location, other than at the northeast corner of
Melrose Avenue and Goltvlew Avenue, for a curb ramp for the following reasons:

a, The sidewalk adjacent to Melrose Avenue Is located essentially next to the curb,
as noted In Nate Moore's leMer dated May 11, 1992; therefore, a curb ramp cannot
be constructeJ without directly conflicting with the sidewalk.
b. For safety reasons, curb ramps should be installed at street corners and not at
mid.block on artenal streets.
5. Plats and legal descnptlons have been completed by MMS Consultants, Kathy Cover of '
Howard R. Green Company has been given a 'notice to proceed' regarding the acquisition
of right.of.way and temporary construction easements necessary for the project.
6. The strip map shows the water main under the existing bridge. It actually loops around
the bridge to the north.
Nate Moore's LeMer dated November 21. i 992:
U.S. West Communications intended to relocate the telephone cable(s) from the existing bridge
to a buried location north of and parallel to th~ new bridge. This work was to have been
completed before construction started on the bridge project, However, Mike Kearney of U,S,
West Communications Informed me December 2, 1992, that Nate Moore will not grant an
easement to U,S. West Communications. Therefore, It appears that telephone ducts will be hung
on the new bridge.
I
An existing watermain now loops around the existing bridge to the north. It has recently been
decided that a new water main Is to be hung on the new bridge. It Is the Intention of the City of
Iowa City to abandon the looped water main.
The City of Iowa City will hold an Informal work session to discuss the reconstruction of Melrose
Avenue and the Melrose Avenue bndge. The meeting Is scheduled for February 1,1993, at 6:30
P.M. In the Council Chambers located In the Iowa City Civic Center. You are welcome to aMend,
If you have any questions, feel free to call me or Denny Gannon, Assistant City Engineer.

MEMORANDUM

To: City Council
From: Assistant City Manager
Re: Cable Re-regulation
Attached please find a fairly simple and concise summary of the rate regulation provisions of
the Cable Act of 1992. I think it provides an accurate overview of the short-term impact of
the Act on franchiSing authorities. You will note that the channel reconfiguration desr.ribed
in the January 13 letter from TCI of Eastern Iowa creates a "basic tier" entirely consistent
with that defined in the federal law . Please feel free to contact me or Drew Shaffer with any
questions you may have.

I. RATE REGUlATION
A Franchise AuthorilV Certification
A franchising authority seeking to regulate so-called
'basic tier' cable rates must first filc a writtcn certification
with the FCC that It:
(a) will adopt and administer rate regulations
conslstenl with FCC regula !Ions;
(b) has the legal authority to adopt, and the
personnel to administer, such regulations; and
(c) will adopl laws and regulations providing a
reasonable opportunity for consideration of
the views oC Inlerested parties.
Franchising certifications will be deemed effectIve 30
dayS after filing unlcss Ihe 'FCC determines (after notice
and opportunIty to reply) that the franchising authority has
not met the three criteria. The franchising authority will
then have an opportunity to revise or modify Its
certification as appropriate. The FCC seeks public
comment on whether II should adopt a standardized form
for the certification.
Cable operators or other Interested parties may
petition the FCC at any.J!me lvevoke _iLfmglog
authority's certification.
The FCC Itself must step III and exercise jurisdiction
over rate regulation If It (a) disapproves or (b) revokes a
franchising authority's certification, It Is unclear whether
the FCC must exercise Jurisdiction over basic tier cable
service even If the relevant franchising authority never
seeks certification. The FCC has tentatively concluded that
If the franchising authority chooses not to file a
cerilficatlon, the FCC has no Jursldlction to step In. This,
like many Issues, must be clarified by Ihe FCC In Its final
Ordcr. and possibly In courL
B. Cable Svstems Sublect to Rate Rel!Ulatlon
Only cable S}1tems that do not have 'effective
compeiltlon' are subject to rate regulation. The Act
defines 'effcctive competition' quite narrowly to mean that:
(a) fcwer than 30 percent of Ihe households In the
franchise area are cable subscribers;
(b) the franchise area Is served by at leasl two
unaffiliated 'multichannel vldco programming
distributors' (e,g" cable operators, 'wirelcss'
cable providers, direct broadeast or other
THE ACf
recelve-only television satelll!e, service
providers), each of which offeis Comparable
video programming to at least SO percent of
the households In the franchise area, and at
least IS percent of the households In the
franchise area subscribe to the smallest of the
dlstn'butors; or
(c) the franchising authority Itself operates a
multichannel video programming service thai
Is offered to at least 50% of the households In
the franchise area.
The Commission has proposed that franchising
authorities submit an'lnltlal finding oC lack of effective
compelilion (and the basis therefor) as part of the Initial
certification process.
C. Rate Rel!Ulalion of 'Basfc Tier' Service
Franchising authorities are only permitted to regulate
rates for 'basic cable service', which Is carefully defined as
Ihe cahle service tier containing (a) local television
broadcast channels (commercial and non-commerclal) and
(b) any public, educational, and governmental (pEG) access
programming required to be carried pursuant to the
operator's franchise agreemenL Slgnlficanliy, local
Clanchlslnglluthoritlcs-are'llllneQulrcdl1ndenhe-Act1o--,
regulate rates; they are merely permitted to do so Iflhey
wish.' '
The FCC must adopt regulations by April 3, 1993, 10
use In establishing 'reasonable' cable rates for haslc tier
service and procedures for resolving disputes between cable
operators and franchising authorilies.
, The FCC has proposed regulations to be used by
franchising authorities In establishing 'reasonable' cable
rates, It has Identified two approaches: (a) a 'benchmark'
approach, where the Commission would eStablish a rate (or
formula) to be used natIonwide as a measure against which
all basic tier cable rates would be tested, or (b) a 'cost.
based' approach under which the reasonablencss of each
Individual S}1lem rates would be determined using
traditional ratemaking principles. The Commission has
tentatively concluded that II prefers the' benchmark
approach.
The Act also requires that rate regulations apply to Ihe
fees charged for Instnllation and lease of equipment used to
receive basic tier service. The Commission has proposel\
that franchise authorities base these Cees on actual costs on
a S}1tem.by.system hasls.

D. Re\!Ulatlon of Services other than Basic Tier
The Act does !1Q! undenake to directly set the rates on
programming services other than the basic tier. However,
the FCC can, In fact, regulate such rates on a 'complaint'
basis, By April 3, 1993, the Commission must establish
criteria for detennlnlng when such rates are unreasonable,
and procedures for resolving complaints.
All public comments with respect to rate regulation
must be filed with the Commission by the end of January,
1993 (tentative dale).
11. OTIlER FRANCmSING AUTIIORl1Y POWERS
The Act nrohlblts franchising authorities from granting
exclusive franchises or unreasonably refusing to award
competing franchises. However, franchising au'horitles arc
permitted to require cable operators to provide access,
capacity, facilities and fiaanclal support for public,
educational, and governmental channels, They may also
require adequate assurance that the cable operator has
proper financial, technical or legal qualifications,
Franchising authorities are permitted to establish and
enforce customer service and system construction require-
ments, The FCC must establish minimum customer service
requirements (I.e., cable system office hours, telephone
availability to subscribers, rules concerning outages,
installations and service calls, standards governing bills and
refunds, etc.). These requirements can be superseded by
more stringent state and local regulations. The FCC has
now sought comment on proposed regulations concerning
customer protection Issues.
By October 6, 1993, the FCC must establish minimum
cable technical standards. Franchising authorities may
incorporate those standards In their franchise agreements,
but may not Impose more stringent standards without
obtaining an FCC waiver.
The Act also makes some revisions to current law
regarding when and under what terms a franchising
authority may conduct a franchise renewal proceeding.
II I. II II 11.1.1; III II II.
WHAT SHOULD FRANCmSING AUTHORITIES DO NOW?
I
Obviously, the full scope of the new cable regulatory
thrust must await at least the Commlsslon's Initial'
rulemaking efforts, specifically the regulations governing
rates for basic service which must be adopted (not merely
proposed) by April 3, 1993. However, there are some
things which Cranchlse authorities must Immediately begin
to conslder,lh;Iudlng:
Reactivating franchising authorilles that may be
dormant
Reviewing (and revising If necessary) charters and
other Implementing statutes to Insure that
Cranchlslng authorities have the legal authority to
adopt and administer rate regulations consistent
with the Act and FCC regulation.!.
Insuring that franchising authorities will have the
personnel to administer regulations, Including
those requiring open meetings, hearings, ele.
Becoming famlllar with various current FCC
rulemaking proposals and determining whether the
franchising authority wishes to file comments or
otherwise participate In these proceedings.
Preparing to file required certifications within the
next several months.
Reviewing current cable franchise agreements for
compliance with Act.
Determining whether the local cable system has
'effective competition' as defioed In the Act.

AT DEADLINE
At its November and December meetings, the FCC initiated several
major rule making proceedings to implement the Cable Act, including
proposed rules regarding cable rate regulations to be followed by cable
franchise authorities. Among the highlights of the rules are:
. two alternative methods for establishing "reasonable" rates: (1) the
benchmark approach, and (2) a cost-based approach that would
examine the costs incurred by individual cable systems. The FCC
indicated that its preferred approach was to use a benchmark.
. a tentative decision specifying the subscnber premises equipment that
will be subject to rate regulation and a method for establishing
reasonable rates for that equipment.
. an inquiry as to whether the Act permits the FCC to regulate rates if
a franchising authority chooses not to do so, although the FCC's
tentative conclusion is that it lacks such jurisdiction.
. a proposal that a franchising authority be required to submit an initial
finding that the cable system under its jurisdiction lacks effective
competition (as defined in the Act) as part of the franchising
authority's initial certification process.
. a request for public comments on procedures for filing, approving and
revoking certification.
Other current FCC rulemaking proceedings deal with: cable system
ownership rules, EEO policies, program distnbution and carriage
requirements, limitations on "tiering," consumer protection provisions, must-
cany and retransmission consent, obscene and indecent programming on
leased and public access channels and home wiring.

To:
Stephen Atkins, City Manager
From:
Don Yucuis, Finance Director '\)v\
Joe Fowler, Parking Systems Supe/intendent j(
Reference: Year to Date Parking Usage
Attached you will find the information requested regarding Parking System usage and revenue
through December 1992.
Year to date "operating" revenue (total revenue less sale of landltransfer in) for the six months
ending 12/31/92 is $1,372,975 or 53.2% of the FY93 budget of $2,582,889.
Capitol Street ramp revenue lxacc 4536) \9l12/31/92 is $505,838 or 47.9% of the FY93
budget of $1,056,000. Capitol Street ramp revenue is projected to be approximately
$44,000 under budget by fiscal year end.
I
The projected deficit in Capitol Street ramp revenue is offset by projected surpluses (actual
over budget) totalling approximately $144,000 and comprised of fines, +$38,000; meter
revenue, +$65,000; Dubuque Street ramp, +$28,000; and permits, +$13,000.
Although total projected revenues appear to be over budget, this does not address the issue
of whether or not the Capitol Street parking ramp policy should be continued.
At the end of December parking system usage is down 15,686 hours YTD. This is a result
of a decrease of 86,798 hours of parking in the Capital Street Ramp. The dacrease is
attributed to the parking restrictions placed on the lower levals between the hours of 6:00AM
and 10:00AM to provide shoppers with mora convenient parking when retail stores open.
Increases in the Dubuque Straet Ramp and metared parking hava off set over 71,000 hours
of the Capital Street loss.
This decrease is less than 1 % but should be monitored as it is incraasing monthly,
The following is a summary by area:

Caoitol Street Ramo
December usage of tha Capital Straat Ramp was 10,253 hours less than December 1991.
December 1992 Park & Shop hours increased by 2,242 to 56,879. This is a 4% increase
over 1991. YTD, hourly parking is down approximately 8% and Park & Shop is down
approximately 6%.
During the month of December we issued 30 or more parking tickets per day for violation of
the lower level perking restriction.
DubuQue Street Ramo
Hourly perking in the ramp continues to increase. December showed a increase of 9719
hours over December 1991, Year to date we have had an hourly increase of approximately
19%. Holiday Inn and permit parking remains at the 1991 level.
The increase in hourly parking my require an additional cashier between the hours of 4:00 and
6:00PM.
Street Meters
CBD meter usage continued to decrease during December. Usage was down 13.455 hours.

credit comment: The sewer service area economy is nffordedstabiUty

the University of Iowa, the state's flagsbip bigher

R8VtnUt
Iowa City, Iowa
update:
Since our credit reponof June 16. 1992, fiscal 1992
audited financial results bave been received and they
confirm that the Seplember 1991 rnte increase was
sufficient 10 provide increased net revenue 10 cover
annual debt service. A law suit over sewer cbarges
med by the University of Iowa was settled in the
analysIs:
OveraU, the trend of sewer system annual financial
results since the issuance of the Series 1986, 538,9
million bond issue bas been satisfactory. The use of
some bond proceeds as capilalized interest and the
implemenlation of significant rnte increases from
198610 1988 provided sufficient revenue for opern.
tinns and debt service througb fiscal year 1989. In
contras~ fISCal year 1990 nel revenue was only 95%
of annual debt service wbicb is a violation of the sum
sufficient rnte covenanL City officials indicate this
was due 10 greater.than.expected opernting expenses
for the city's new treatment plant and delays in
implementing fUrther rnte increases due to some
fmance departmeut staff turnover. However, the
Sinking (Debt Service) Fund balance was more than
adequate to cover the sbortfall a~d neither the
Reserve Fund or Improvemeut Fund balances were
depleted. In addition. rnles were eventually increased
in September 1990 wbicb provided sufficient fIScal
year 1991 net revenue 10 cover annual and fUlure
lIUIXimum annual debt service, Rllles were ngain
increased in September 1991 for fIScal year 1992 and,
consequently. it appears that the 1990 net revenue
sbortfoll was only a one.year abemtion and is not
indicative of genernJ fmancial deteriorntion; net reve.
nue for fisc..ll years 1991 and 1992 are 1.22 and 1.28
times future maximum annual debt service,
respectively.
System financial operations througb this period were
also not bindered by a lawsuit by the system's largest
custDmer, the University of Iowa, The university was
cballenging the city's right to set rnles wbicb will
cover the costs of capiL'II improvements as well as tlle
fairness of rntes for regular sewer services. The uni.
versity reponedly accounts for about 20% of sewnge
nows and about 22% of opernling revenue in fiscal
ye.'lI' 1992. The university was seeking a reduction in
its annual sewer bill as well as reimbursement of up
to approximately 5 1.2 million of alleged prior year
overcbmges, However. the Iowa SL1te District Conn
in Jobnson County ruled in favor of the city in
I
January 13, 1993
city's favor in September 1992. Capilal plans now
include an addition. 'II 513 million for the construction
of a sewage lIalIsmission line from the city's west
side 10 the south treatment planL The city's earlier
projection of 54 million for this project is now cited
as an error.
January 1991 and the Iowa Supreme Conn arfumed
this decision in Spetember 1992.
The sewer system provides secondary tre.1tmentto
customers within the city limits. TolaI sewage nows
bave nuctuated in recent years, reponedly due to
weather cbanges. and surplus treatment capacity
remains available at two plants. Mirroring the city's
population growth over the last decade, the number
of system cus'omers increased about 2% annuolly
from fiscal year 1987 to 1992. As previously men.
tioned, the University of Iowa accounts for 2D-25%
of opernting revenue. However, the vulnernbility
associDled with one large system customer and its
current lawsuit is mitigated by the stability of this
institution. wbicb is the IIagsbip of the state univer.
sity system, and its need 10 remain a city sewer
customer. The bonds now offered will refund the
533.500,000 of Series 1986 bonds maturing from
1996 to 2012, The refunding is undertaken to provide
about 52.1 million of present value debt service sav.

City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
Date: January 15, 1993
To: Steve Atkins, City Manager
From: Anne Burnside, Assistant City Attorney ~
Re: Max Yocum: H.I,S, Letter to Thermogas
Max Yocum addressed the City Council recently concerning a letter by Gary Klinefelter to Sean
Daugherty of Thermogas, A copy of the letter Is attached. From Max's comments, some
Councllmembers were concerned whether the City may have overstepped some bounds by
asking Thermogas to not provide propane gas to the structure In question, a quonset hut on
Napoleon Lane. You asked me to look Into the matter.
In addition to Gary's letter of November 23, 1992, I am attaching some samples of court orders
and related reports concerning the quonset hut. H,tS. has records of court orders going back
to at least 1985 In which the structure Is found to be uninhabitable and Is ordered vacated until
code violations are corrected and a rental permit Is Issued, I do not mean to suggest the
structure has been In constant noncompliance since 1985, but I do believe It has been
noncompliant for much of that time,
The nature of the code violations have not been de minimis, In t 989, a propane gas leak
produced an explosion. A copy of the fire Incident report #920540, of November II, 1989, Is
attached. In October, 1992, the fire department responded to another propane.related fire call
at the property. The Court had ordered the property to be vacated In August, 1991, and no
rental permit had been Issued. At the time of the October, 1992 fire, the structure was placarded
as uninhabitable.
Gary's letter to Thermogas was written at the request of Thermogas. The company
representative had called Gary and asked lilt was true the property was vacant by court order,
When Gary said "yes', the representative asked Gary to provide written confirmation, During the
conversation Gary noted that the City could not prevent any gas company from providing gas
to the structure. (In fact, a new tenant has moved In, after paying Max $1,000.00, and has
obtained propane gas from some provider.)
I am convinced after talking with Gary that while the letter may sound a bit over.reachlng, the
letter primarily confirmed Thermogas' Inquiries, and was not an attempt to proactlvely prevent gas
service to the structure.
If you need further Information or clarification, please let me know,

From:
Re:
Cultural/Conference Center Feasibility Study
The purpose of this memo Is to Inform you of the status of the culturaVconference center feasibility
study. In early February, the consultant, Camiros Ltd., will be recommending to the Executive
Commitiee a list of activities and facility components for the proposed culturaVconference center. At
that meeting, the Executive Committee should decide the types of activities and facility components
which they would like to see located In the proposed center. Once the Committee reaches a
consensus regarding the types of activities and facility components for the center, the consultant will
than perform an ar,alysls of the economic and financial feasibility of the proposed center.
In determining the types of activities and facilities to Include I~ the proposed center, the consultant has
reviewed survey Information, conducted Interviews, and assisted with facilitating focus group sessions,
The consultant has reviewed the Executive Commltiee's survey work regarding potential users of the
proposed facilities. In adrUtion, the consultant has gathered Information by interviewing approximately
30 Individuals Involved In the either the arts, conferences, and/or economic development. The most
recent Information gathering activity was focus group sessions which were held earlier this month. The
focus group sessions provided an opportunity for members from a cross section of the community to
express their opinions regarding the proposed culturaVconference center, The discussion at each focus
group session was enlightening, and the consultant and the Executive Committee should find the
information gained from the focus group sessions very helpful In guiding the direction of the proposed
culturaVconference center.
Prior to the focus group sessions, the consultant had Identified the following major components for the
proposed facility:
Discovery Center (a hands on educational facility for the arts & sciences)
Performance & Display Space for the Arts.
Conference/Meeting/Hotel Space
Retail & Office Space
The next step In the process will require the consultant to take the Information gained from the focus
groups and Incorporate It Into the component parts of the facility. As pail of this process, the
consultant will outline the exact make.upof each of these components (eg, number & size of theatres).
After the Executive Committee reviews and comments on the consultant's recommendations, the
consultant will than prepare the economic and financial feasibility of the project. Once this Information
Is complied, a town meeting will be scheduled In order to provide the public an opportunity to
comment on the proposal. The town meeting Is presently scheduled for this spring.
As the study progresses, the Council will be kept Informed of Its progress,

To: ' Departments Involved in the Municipal Code Update
From: Marian K. Karr, City Clerk
I have been informed by Sterling Codifiers that we have been experiencing delays in our
codification project, and have not yet begun the text. A great deal of time has been spent on
the table of contents alone. As facilitator, I have been asked to review time frames and keep
things moving.
Starting immediately, I am asking that any communication with Sterling be followed up with
a written note to me. In this way, I will be able to monitor potential delays as well as answer
questions directly from Sterling. These notes need not be lengthy or verbatim in nature. The
purpose is not to hinder your direct contact with Sterling, but rather allow a paper reference
trail.
Attached is a priority list received from Sterling which is self-explanatory. Feel free to contact
Ms. Saito directly with questions or concerns, with a follow-up to me.
The codification process Is going to be slow and tedious, however we have to keep it moving
ahaad. Nothing will be finalized without the City Attorney and departmental review.

CITY OF IOWA CITY
January 19, 1993
James Balmer
11 Oak Park Lane
Iowa City, IA 52240
Dear Mr. Balmer:
In rasponse to your letter published in the Iowa City Press.Citizen on December 28, 1992, we
would like to provide some additional information regarding the neighborhood in question.
The rezoning request to be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City
Council is for the neighborhood outlined on the attached map. This area is currently zoned
RM-12 (low density multi-family residential) and the proposed rezoning Is to a new zone,
RNC-12, a residential neighborhood conservation zone.
A land use survey, completed by the Urban Planning Division using City Assessor's records,
shows that approximately 61 % of the lots in this area contain single.family homes, 57% of
which are owner-occupied. An additional 25% of the lots are developed with duplexes and
only 10% of the lots have multi.family structures. Despite its zoning designation, therefore,
the general character of the area is that of a single.family/duplex neighborhood.
In considering the future of this neighborhood, t~e City must balance the maintenance of the
existing single-family character of the neighborhood against its potential development as a
multi-family neighborhood. The existing single-family and duplex properties provide some of
the City's affordable housing stock for owner.occupants. As you are aware from the City's
CHAS, there is a considerable need for such moderately-priced, single-family housing in Iowa
City, Retaining the RM-12 zoning is likely to gradually change the neighborhood, as affordable
single properties are purchased and the lots redeveloped for multi-family housing. There is
no guarantee that these multi.family units would be affordable. Our experience has been that
such new units, relatively close to the University, are generally market rate units occupied by
students.
The City is aware of the need for affordable housing, and increased housing opportunities for
persons with special needs. The new PRM and CB-5 zones south of Burlington Street provide
some incentives for the construction of affordable housing units.

As indicated in the CHAS, we are also looking at ways to overcome barriers to affordable
housing In Iowa City, particularly as thay relate to the price and availability of suitable land.
The proposed annexation of land southeast of the existing city limits may provide additional
opportunities for affordable single. and multi-family housing.
If you would like to discuss this Issue with us, we would be very happy to meet with you.
Please give us a call at 356-5244 (Marianne) or 356.5243 (Monica).
Yours sincerely,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Steve Atkins
FROM: Floyde Pelkey
RE: Grantwood neighborhood meeting
I was asked to attend this meeting and talk about the City's
recycling program. We discussed the drop sites and how contaminated
the products are. We also talked about the tire program as well as
a once or twice a year toxic clean up day. I explained that we have
a truck that goes around daily to collect large and bulky items and
that there ,are extra charges for tires and appliances, but that all
other large items all it took was a phone call to schedule. I was
surprised to find out how many people were not aware of this
program. I explained about the extra 'cost of having this yearly
program. I gave three City canvas bags to the program directors to
let them know they are doing a good job and also let others know
they are available at the Civic Center.

Mr. Drew Shaffer
Broadband Telecommunications Specialist
Ci ty of Iowa City
410 E. Washington St.
Iowa City, IA 52240
Dear Mr. Shaffer:
0'1 Api il I, 1953, Tel of Eastern Iowa will reconfigure its Basic
Service into a reasonably priced entry-level service. The Basic
service level will offer five broadcast stations, including the
local NBC, ABC, and CBS affiliates and five public and government
access channels, The cost will be $10.00 per month.
At the same time, we will also rearrange some of our channels.
This is necessary to offer the low cost alternative.
We are doing this for two reasons. We have conducted research
that tells us customers would like us to offer a low cost entry
level of service. In addition, last October, Congress passed
a new federal cable act. The Act Implies that cable systems
offer such a service. It does not require that we offer one,
but it Is clear that such a low-priced entry level of service
was desired by Congress. As a result of th~ Cable Act and our
own customer research, most TCI systems will begin offering this
lower-cost service level. It is important to note that such an
entry level of service Is standard In the Industry.
To offer it, we need to reconfigure our two existing service
levels. Some of the cable services presently on Basic will be
placed on Expanded Basic. We will offer the same services, but
some of them will be moved from one service level to another.
For the vast majority of our customers --96%--this reconfiguration
will make little difference. They already subscribe to both
Basic and Expanded Basic. They will continue to receive the
same channels for the same price.
The reconfiguration will affect a minority of our customers __
about 4%. These customers now subscribe only to Basic. They
will have to decide whether they want only the lower-cost alt-
ernat i've, or whether they want to receive cable networks as well.
[f these customers

they will find the cable services we have provided to this
area of sufficient value that they will want to watch them on
Expanded Basic. However, this choice is entirely up to the
customer.
We will send customers who only subscribe to, Basic at least
two letters describing their options, along with a postage paid
postcard for their reply. We also will do extensive media
advertising to assist in this notification. In addition, we
will call all Basic-only customers if we have not received a
card from them. If, however, we are unable to reach a cust-
omer, he or she will remain a Basic-only customer. No one
will be upgraded without affirmatively requesting Expanded Basic.
To repeat, no customer will be given more channels at a higher
cost unless he or she affirmatively requests an upgrade.
Customers who want only Basic will have the option of subscrib-
ing also to premium services and pay-per-view events. They do
not have to get Expanded Basic to subscribe to premium services
or pay-per-view. The 1992 Cable Act will require all systems
to provide this premium service option within ten years, but we
have decided to offer it imnediately. This is an innovation
that we believe is a benefit for area residents.
Because we are reconfiguring our two service levels on April 1,
we need to rearrange some of our channel numbers. Broadcast
networks will generally be found on lower channel numbers and
cable networks on higher channel numbers. We are doing this
for technological reasons that I can explain to you in more
detail if you would like.
We know that any channel rearrangement may cause some initial
confusion for our customers, but we are providing them with
complete information that explains the changes, including
cards they can place by their television set. We want to min-
imize the potential for confusion in any way we can.
We are pleased to offer these reconfigured services to our cus-
tomers. We reemphasize that for most of our present customers,
the changes will make no difference. We believe that people who
have not subscribed to cable In the past may now want to do so.
In that way, the benefits of cable will be extended to even more
area residents.
Please' let me know if I can answer any of your quest ions.
Sincerely,
TCI of Eastern Iowa

RE: Gift of 13.98 Acres to the city of Iowa city
Dear John and Allegra:
\
On behalf of the Iowa city Parks and Recreation commission, I
thank you for your generous gift of land to the city of Iowa City
in December of 1992. One of the Commission's missions is to assist
and guide the city Council in providing the community of Iowa city
with high quality and cost efficient parks. We continually strive
to do that, and the city of Iowa city and its citizens have been
supportive of our efforts. Unfortunately, even with funds
specifically set aside to purchase new parks, much potential
parkland has been, historically, too expensive to buy. Due to the
growth of Iowa city your gift of land is not only generous but
timely.
Your family is an example of why Iowa city can be proud of its
citizens. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to recommend
to City council that the land be accepted and used as parkland, and
that the park be named Kiwanis Park.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mayor Courtney,
We are pleassd to inform you that the above named property, which is located
within your community, will be considered by the State National Register
Nominations Review Committse for nomination to the National Rsgistsr of
Historic Places on February 18, 1993., The National Register is the Fsderal
Government's official list of historic properties worthy of preservation.
Listing in the National Register provides rscognition and assists in
preserving our Nation's heritage. Enclcsed is a copy of the criteria under
which properties are evaluated.
I
Listing in the National Register providss the following bsnefits to historic
properties I
--Consideration in the planning for Federal, federally licensed, and
federally assisted projects. Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act of 1966 requires Federal agenciee allow the Advisory
Council on Hietoric Preservation an opportunity to comment on projects
affecting historic properties listed in the National Register. For
further information please refer to 36 CFR 800.
--Eligibility for Fedsral tax bsnsfits. If a property is listed in the
National Register, certain Federal tax provisions may apply. The Tax
Reform Act of 1986 revises the historic preservation tax incentives
authorized by Congress in the Tax Reform Act of 1976, the Revenue Act of
1978, the Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980, the Economic Rscovery Tax
Act of 1981, and Tax Reform Act of 1984, and as of January 1, 1987,
provides for a 20 psrcent investmsnt tax credit with a full adjustment
to basis for rehabilitating historic ccmmercial, industrial, and rental
residential buildings. The former 1S percent and 20 percent investment
Tax Credits (ITCs for rehabilitations of older commsrcial buildings are
combined into a single 10 percent ITC for commsrcial or industrial
buildings built before 1936. This can be combined with a 1S-year cost
recovery period for the adjusted basis of the building. Certified
structures with certified rehabilitations rsceive additional tax savings
because owners are allowsd to rsduce the basis by one half the amount of
the crsdit. {The Tax Treatment certifisd structures with certified
rehabilitations received additional tax savings becauee owners are
allowed to reduce the baeis by one half the amount of the credit.] The
Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980 provides Federal tax deductions for
charitable contributions for conservation purposes of partial interests
in historically important land areas or structures. For further
information please refer to 36 CFR 67.

Airport (Cheap)
Keeping a small municipal airport operating can be a financial drain.

small airports that dot the land? Are

Re: Growth Policies Report
Attached are two reports completed In connection with the requests to annex land east and south
of Iowa Clty..'Growth Policies for the City of Iowa City' and 'Fiscal Impact Analysis for the
Windsor Ridge and Sycamore Farms Annexation Areas', Nov. 1992.
Since the Issues Involved In these documents are fairly complex and some Council members
have already requested copies, you are being sent the reports prior to a formal recommendation
from the Planning & Zoning Commission. Staff reports on the specific annexation requests will
be forthcoming after the Commission's vote. Commission action on the Comprehenslv3 Plan
amendments, which embody the concepts laid out In the growth policies document, Is expected
on Jan. 21. Action on the east annexation area Is expected the same evening, The south
annexation area will receive Commission consideration on Feb.4.
Tentatively, public hearings before the Council on the growth policies and annexation requests
are scheduled for February 23, March 2, and March 16. Please feel free to contact me If you
have any questions about the enclosed reports prior to our presentation to you at the work
session of February 22 - (356.5232).

IOWA CITY GROWTH POLICIES
In the last decade Iowa City and Johnson County experienced considerable growth. Both
experienced an 18% increase in population between 1980 and 1990: This increase in population
was greater than the moderate increase projected in the 1989 Iowa Citv Comprehensive Plan
Update, and significantly greater than the decline projected by the State Demographer. Iowa
City's growth can be attributed to successfully weathering the recession which has hit so many
other parts of Iowa and the nation generally, and to an increase of approximately 4,800 jobs in
the basiC sector of the local economy, particularly at the University of Iowa Hospitals and
Clinics,
I
With continued growth at the University, the anticipated opening of the General Mills plant,
vario~ expansions of local industries in Iowa City, Coralville and the Oakdale research campus,
and the apparent attractiveness of Iowa City as a place to retire, we can anticipate with some
confidence that the growth which occurred in the last ten years is likely to continue. This growth
in population, along with a heightened interest in development within our corporate limits; and
applications for the voluntary annexation of significant tracts of land, compel us to look at our
approach to growth and our pollcy regarding annexation, The need to modify our sanitary
sewer system in response to federal mandates is an added Impetus to reevaluate the physical
development of the community.
Before addressing these particular issues, a basiC assumption is made. We assume that the
posture of the community will continue to be one of maintaining tile quality of life we lIave come
to expect in Iowa City while accommodating and managing growtll as it occurs. Exactly how that is
done will evolve over time, with the community striking a balance between the public provision
of facUlties and amenities, and the regulation of private sector development in the public interest.
Existing Polil:ies
Iowa City's approach to growth has been to encourage development to take place in a compact
manner contiguous to existing development. The extension of streets, sewers and water lines,
and extensions of municipal services can then occur in an orderly and efficient way, Policies in
the Comprehensive Plan advocate development occurring in a sequential fashion within the
existing corporate limits, The timing of development is related to the need for capital investment
in infrastructure, with those areas requiring ihe greatest amount of investment developing last.

(1989 Update, pp. 17.21). Public investment in infrastructure can influence and direct where and
when development occurs.
Annexation is approached conservatively and advocated only for expansion of industrial
opportunities (see the Land Use Map, adopted Jilly 11, 1989). The annexation policy cites
accommodation of growth, fuUilling a public policy or need, and controlling land use as the
primary reasons to annex land (1989 Update, p. 23). Minimal annexationF to Iowa City have
occurred in the last ten years. Annexations since the early 80's have included the northeast
quadrant of the Freeway 218/Highway 1 intersection, the entire Scott Boulevard right.of.way,
the Scott Park stormwater detention area, and about 20 acres north of Scott Park for residential
development. Except for the 20 acres north of Scott Park, these annexations have been for
purposes of control and to fulfill a public need (stormwater detention), The annexations north
of Scott Park were argued on the basis of minimal impact on City services and avoidance of the
use of septic systems. Given the rate of growth experienced in the last ten years and the
promise of growth in the future, now may be an appropriate time for the City to take a more
proactive role in managing the direction of development through annexation.
Development Potential Within Existing Corporate Limits
An analysis similar to the "Developable Land Analysis" included in the 1989 Comprehensive
Plan Update has been completed and is attached as Appendix A. The sanitary sewer system is
used as a basis for this analysis because the system is an essential part of the City's infrastruc-
ture and requires significant public investment. In the current analysis, judgments were made
regarding the actual development potential of land within the corporate limits. The criteria used
included topography, environmental sensitivity, land ownership, political sensitivity to
development in the area, and the ease of extending infrastructure.
It would appear from a cursory review of land available for development that there is sufficient
land within the corporate limits to accommodate population projections beyond a 20'year time
frame. There are roughly 2,920 developable acres which could accommodate approximately
27,985 people. Development of much of this acreage (2,390 acres) requires some type of C3pital
improvement to the sewer system, Some of this land also requires other capital investment such
as streets, water llnes, parks and schools.
The 1990 Census reported a population of 59,738 for Iowa City. Population projections for the
City and the County for the next 20 years are shown in Table I. Adding the number of people
estimated for developable land within the corporate limiis to the 1990 Census figures reveals
accommodation for 87,723 people. This figure exceeds by about 15,000 the projected population
for Iowa City for 20 years. However, when we take into consideration all the other factors noted
above and in the "Development Land Analysis", the actual number of acres that we can rely on
to meet population growth needs diminishes.
Development of parcels already within the corporate tlmits will require signifl~ant capital
investment on the part of the City for sewer system improvements. (see Developable Land

Analysis). The two largest items are connection of the North Pollution Control Plant to the
South Pollution Control Plant and construction of the Southwest Interceptor Sewer. Looking
exclusively at those areas serviceable with the capacity currently available in the South
Treatment Plant and areas requiring no additional public investment in sewers, 530 acres are
available and could accommodate an approximate population of 5,283 people. Combined with
the population which could be accommodated on vacant platted lots shown in Appendix B
(about 1,426 people), there Is sufficient land to house 6,709 additional people. Development of
these areas would accommodate projected increases In population only to the year 2000,
Capital investment in the sewer system to comply with federal ammonia treatment requirements
will be required within eight years regardless of the growth of the community. Connection of
the North Treatment Plant to the South Treatment Plant appears to be the best solution in tenns
of cost and the ability of the system to accommodate future growth, The plants, however,
address only the treatllletlt component of a sewage system. Additional investment will be
required In the collectioll system to adequately serve the entire City.
With limited financial resources, the City will be required to prioritize these investments. The
most compelling needs are ammonia treatment to meet federal mandates and addressing wet
weather surcharging at the Nl'rth Plant. Both of these needs wUl be met by connection of the

North and South plants with an investment of approximately $17 million. One of the planned
upgrades of the south plant would be necessary concurrently at a cost of about $5 million. This
upgrade will be needed to accommodate existing populations and growth wherever it occurs.
The ability of the City to invest In additional sewer Improvements for collection systems to
encourage development of some areas within the corporate limits will depend upon the financial
resources available.
Assuming that the two plants are connected in the short run (8 years), 490 additional acres could
be served without compromising treatment standards. This could add 5,992 people within the
corporate limits to reach a total population of 72,439 and accommodate projected growth well
into a 2().year time frame.
All of these calculations are based on an assumed average density of development of 2.09 to 2,65
people per unit. The numbers used were derived from densities permitted under zoning, past
development practices, and known Census and demographic data. They should be used with
caution as some error is inevitable.
The conclusion of the analysis is that in the short run the City's ability to accommodate projected
growth within the corporate limits, with no capital improvements beyond those already
programmed is marginal. If we invest $2().$25 million in sewage treatment improvements, which
we will probably have to do regardless of growth, projected growth for the next 10 or 15 years
can probably be accommodated within the existing City limits. This conclusion is based on
sewer capacity and some judgment as to whether or not development is likely te, occur. Other
factors may suggest giving serious consideration to annexation at this time,
Considerations for Annexation
Future Growth Areas. Long-range plimning for the City's growth is based on the capacity and
constraints of the sanitary sewer system and the community's ability and willingness to pay for
increases In capacity, Planning has been based, on watersheds to enable a less costly means of
collection through gravity flows. Figure 1 shows the planned service area with phased
construction of the South Treatment Plant and extensions of the collection system, Three
unincorporated areas are currentiy projected for inciusion within the corporate limits. These
areas are east, south and southwest of the existing corporate limits. Not all of the current2-mlle
extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City in these general areas are included in this projection, The
City will also have the capacity in the designed system to serve approximately 750 acres north
of Interstate 80. The exact boundaries of this area are not known at this time and are not shown
in the service area, Since annexation of certain areas Is intended in the future and growth is
occurring in the County generally, it may be prudent to accept voluntary annexations in these
areas now if the requested annexations can be served by the existing sewer system and do not
incur an undue financial burden on the community.

Land Use Control. Growth pressures are being felt throughout the County and particularly in
the Iowa City.Coralville metropolitan area. It is appropriate that concentrated development at
urban densities take place within the corporate limits. It is also appropriate that development
just outside the corporate limits takes place in a manner which will be consistent with its future
inclusion in the urban area. The City does not have the power to zone land in unincorporated
parts of the County, even within the 2.mlle extraterritorial jurisdiction, Influencing County
zoning decisions through the Fringe Agreement has had limited success. Annexing those areas
which are planned for eventual inclusion in the corporate limits gives the City the ability to
ensure development is consistent with urban patterns and policies.
Oooortunities to Fulfill Public Policy. The City, through the comprehensive planning process,
continually identifies community needs and issues. Additional opportunities for industrial
development, and the cost of housing in the City are two such issues which can be partially
addressed through an inventcry of land ready for development. In considering annexation
proposals, the likelihood that the annexed land could contribute to meeting specified needs of
the community should be considered.
Policy Proposal
There are three polley areas pertinent to this discussion of growth and development - (1) the
defined long range planning area of the City; (2) the investment of public funds in development;
and (3) the timing of annexations. The following poliey actions are proposed:
I
Fonnal adoption of the service area shown in Figure 1 as the long.range planning area
for the City. Adoption of this service area would assume adherence to the watershed
boundaries and ultimate corporate limits shown when making decisions regarding the
extension of infrastructure, approval of subdivisions, agreements with the County and
Coralville regarding growth, and responses to annexation requests.
Adoption of a poliey prioritizing public investment in infrastructure and public amenities
such that obligations to properties currently within the corporate limits take precedence.
Modify the annexation policy to respond positively to voluntary annexation requests
when (1) the area under consideration falls within the future service area of the City and
sanitary sewer capacity ls presently available, (2) development in the area will fuUm an
identified need without imposing an undue financial burden on the City, or (3) control
of development at entranceways to the community is in the City's best interest,
Concurrence with these policy proposals will require amendments to the City's Comprehensive
Plan.

FRINGE AREAS 5 AND 6
Requests for annexation have been received for two relatively large tracts of land. 240 acres in
Area 5, east of Iowa City, and 420 acres in Area 6, south of Iowa City. Assuming adoption of
the policies proposed in the prececling section, it would be appropriate to approve annexation
requests in these two Fringe Areas. Most of Area 6 and part of Area 5 are within the future
service area of the City and sewer capacity is available at the South Treatment Plant via the
southeast interceptor sewer, Each annexation request is discussed specifically in separate staff
reports and in a fiscal impact analysis; the discussion below addresses the general land use
concept and infrastructure needs of Fringe Areas 5 and 6.
I
Land Use Concept
Figure 2 presents a general land use plan for parts of Fringe Areas 5 and 6 at urban densities.
The City's future service area extends only one mile into Area 5, but encompasses most of Area
6. The Area 5 section is approxlmately 1,920 acres and Area 6 includes about 2,560 acres, At
this time, we are only discussing a general land use plan for these Areas and do not anticipate
immediate voluntary annexations of the entire Areas. The City does not contemplate
involuntary annexation. The urban development pattern proposed continues, to a large extent,
the pattern currently seen in Iowa City, with a few exceptions,
The predominant land use in both Areas is residential at low to medium density. In Area 5,
existing manufactured housing may be carried east depending on market demand. In Area 6,
a significant addition to manufactured housing opportunities is reflected in the area near Bon
Aire Mobile Home Park. The low to medium density designation indicates zoning in the range
of RS-5 to RS-12. It is anticipated that development in Area 6 will be at slightly higher density
overall than Area' 5, due to the topography in Area 5.
Both Areas have open spaces designated. In Area 5, the existing golf course is shown. Area 6
contains the existing golf course, the City.owned land designated for a future recreational area,

and up to 67 acres of wetlands, according to Department of Natural Resources data, The
wetlands In Area 6 are shown as single-family residential with a planned development overlay.
Zoning actions and subdivisions should take into consideration the need for neighborhood open
space and pedestrian and bicycle linkages.
An extension of the Industrial park Is shown In the southerly part of Area 5. This is consistent
with the CIty's Comprehensive Plan. IT residential development in both of these Areas takes
place, neighborhood commerdal uses should be placed at strategic locations to provide shopping
opportunities for the daily needs of the residents. The proper placement of neighborhood
commerdal centers will hopefully reduce traffic in and out of neighborhoods.
Infrastructure Needs for Fringe Areas 5 and 6
For the following analysis the term infrastructure is intended to refer to city services which
involve capital improvements: streets, sewer, water, parks, and schools. Other City services
such as library, police, fire, and transit may on occasion involve the construction of facilities, but
are otherwise provided without capital improvements.
Sewer: Fringe Areas 5 and 6 are currently served by the southeast interceptor sewer which was
constructed in 1989. It consists of 2* miles of 66" pipe from the South Treatment Plant to the
Intersection of 6th and F streets. From this intersection there is approximately one-half mile of
54" pipe to Court Hill Park. 18" pipe extends from this point, under Scott Boulevard and serves
the Scott Park East residential development. Figure 3 shows the location of the Southeast
Interceptor Trunk sewer through south and east Iowa City.
The Fringe Area 5 annexation area will require the extension of 30" pipe from Court Hill Park.
18" is requlred to serve the proposed annexation area; the 12" oversizing is to handle future
growth east of Scott Boulevard, Consistent with the proposed policy to give precedence to land
within the ccrporate limits for the investment of public funds, the private sector should pay the
full expense of the extension of the trunk sewer.
Fringe Area 6 is served by the southeast Interceptor and sycamore Trunk sewers. The portions
of Fringe Areas 5 and 6 which are located in the Snyder Creek watershed will be served in the
future by the Snyder Creek Interceptor sewer (Figure 3). As an interim measure to facilitate
development, developers have the option of constructing 11ft stations to pump sewage from the
Snyder Creek watershed, north to the Southeast Interceptor sewer system. From the Southeast
Interceptor, wastewater will flow via gravity to the South Treatment Plant. This option is viable '
provided capacity within the Southeast Interceptor system Is not constrained to the detriment
of the service area.
Water: A 12" water line extends to the east property line of the Scott Park East residential
development. This tine can be extended to the Fringe Area 5 annexation area. A study to be
conducted by the City in 1993 will determine the most efficient w~ter distribution system for

Fringe Areas 5 and 6. It is not anticipated that provision of water service to these areas will be
difficult. The private sector is expected to bear the entire expense of the extension of water lines
into areas which are currently outside the corporate limits and therefore beyond the planned
sequence of improvements provided in the Comprehensive Plan.
Street~: There is a functional hierarchy of arterial, collector, and local streets proposed for Fringe
Areas 5 and 6. Figure 4 shows a proposed network of arterial streets. Arterial streets are
constructed on approximately a one mile grid, with allowances made for variation in topography
and the density of development. Within the network of arterial streets will be a system of
collector streets on approximately a one-half mile grid. From the arterial-collector street system
a network of local streets can be established to provide access to individual parcels of property.
Arterial streets will require right-of-way of 66 feet to 125 feet depending on if they are projected
as "primary" or "secondary" arterial streets. Collector streets require 50 feet of right-of-way.
Design requirements for arterial streets reflect the movement of vehicular traffic and safe
pedestrian accommodation as being the most important functions. This is reflected in the
geometric design for arterial streets, the elimination of individual driveway access points, and
provision of sidewalks. Collector streets may accommodate individual driveway access points
if local street access is not available.
Any arterial or collector streets required for immediate development within annexed areas will
be provided by the developers at the developer's cost.
Schools:
Three elementary schools will be required with full development of the annexation areas
proposed for Fringe Areas 5 and 6. The schools adjacent to these areas do not contain the
capacity to accommodate the proposed annexations, The calculation of elementary school
capacity is based on an acceptable pupil/teacher ratio and a maximum enrollment per school
of 500 students. A 15 acre site is desired for development of an elementary school. This can be
reduced to ten acres if the school is developed in conjunction with a neighborhood park.
The Iowa City Community School District has not progressed far enough in Its planning to date
to provide input on the need or proper location for junior or senior high school facilities within
Areas 5 and 6.
Parks: The City of Iowa City is currently conducting a citywide evaluation of open space. The
need to provide open space in residential areas will vary depending on the type and density of
housing, For a typical RS-5 single family development, approximately 2Y.z percent of the
developed area should be dedicated to neighborhood open space, This is consistent with the
type of development proposed for Fringe Area 5. The land uses anticipated in Fringe Area 6
may be of higher density and require greater provision of open space,

Palrey Amendments
The area studies for Fringe Areas 5 and 6 of the 1989 Iowa City Comprehensive Plan Update will
need to be amended to reflect the approach to annexation discussed in this report and the land
use concept proposed. Fringe Areas 5 and 6 are currently noted at the end of the Development
Sequence; therefore, no change is required. Since the full costs of infrastructure extensions will
be borne by the developers of newly annexed lands, a mechanism will need to be developed to
ensure that costs of infrastructure that serves the larger fringe area will be equitably distributed
among future users.
Upon concurrence by the Planning and Zoning Commission with the findings and proposals
contained in this report, staff will prepare the necessary fonnal Comprehensive Plan
amendments for public hearing and consideration.

Appendix A: Developable Land Analysis
The 1989 Comprehensive Plan contained a developable land analysL~ based on an inventory of
vacant land and availability of sanitary sewer service, The analysis concluded that the city
contained sufficient vacant land to accommodate the city's residential growth needs well beyond
the 20 year time frame of the Comprehensive Plan, In updating the developable land analysis,
conditions which differ from 1~89 must be considered, These include census figures, which
indicate a greater rate of population growth than projected in 1989, and alterations in the city's
sanitary sewer collection and treatment system, This analysis is based on a review of the
development potential of undeveloped areas of the citYi a review of recently completed
improvements and yet to be completed proposed improvements of the city's sanitary sewer
collection system; and population projections based on the 1990 census.
Vacant Acreage
In this developable land analysis areas of the city which contain largely undeveloped acreage
were identified and grouped into the seven developing areas identified in the 1989
Comprehensive Plan update, Within each of the seven ar2as, parcels which are suitable for
residential development were identified. Based on current or anticipated zoning, population
projections were calculated to indicate the population which could be accommodated in these
areas, This analysis assumes that in the long-term all of the vacant areas of the city can be served
by sewer. For this reason, the projected population is most likely an over estimate as discussed
below.
As shown in Table 1 (attached), assuming that historic development trends continue, the
projected population for all undevelopable areas would be approximately 28,000 people,l Also
as illustrated in Table 1 this population could only be achieved after extensive upgrading of the
city's sanitary sewer collection system, The table identifies capital improvements in each
developable area that would be needed in order to allow continued residential growth. The
table also identifies areas which will require lift stations to be built by private developers, The
attached map illustrates the general location of the areas listed in Table 1.
Although an attempt was made to identify environmentally sensitive areas that will have limited
development capacity, there are environmental constraints, such as the existence of wetlands,
which ills not possible to completely account for in this developable land analysis. There are
also additional factors, such as the lack of arterial and collector street networks, and the desire
of some property owners not to develop their land, which will deter the growth of some areas
of the city. It is also probable that a considerable number of acres that are designated for
residential development will actually be appropriated for other land uses, including parkland
and school siles needed to serve a growing population. When considering these factors, the
'[n completing the developable land analysis it was assumed that historic development trends will continue,
Historically, areas zoned single family residential have actually developed at approximately 65% of the density
allowed by zoning, For example, In areas 01 the city which have already developed, R5-5 zoned areas have an
average densityol approximately 3,2.5 housing units per acre, [n more recent developments which have occurred In
more environmentally sensitive areas, or which have Included the dedication 01 parkland and open space to the City,
densities have actually bC1!n less and the historic pallern, If this trend of lower density development continues, the
actual population that can be accommodated In the undeveloped areas 01 the City will be less than 28,000 persons,

population increase that can be accommodated in the undeveloped areas of the city will probably
be less than 28,000 persons,
Sewer Capacity
The City's overall sewerage treatment capacity is currently constrained by the need to comply
with federal ammonia treatment regulations. In order to comply with these regulations the City
must either upgrade both the north and south wastewater treatment, plants to provide for
ammonia treatment or connect the north plant to the south wastewater treatment plant to allow
improvements for ammonia treatment to occur only at the south plant. The connection of the
two plants would require the construction of a trunk line between the north and south plants,
This trunk line would have the added benefit of providing sewer service to the area on either
side of South Gllbert Street, which currently has restricted development capacity due to
constraints in the current sewer collection system, Implementation of one of the options for
ammonia treatment is required, regardless of how much growth the city experiences or where
that growth occurs.
~
Potential Growth Areas
In addition to this constraint in the overall sewer treatment capacity, various undeveloped areas
of the city have restricted sewer capacity due to constraints in the sewer collection system. As
dJscussed below and summarized in Table I, some of these constraints can be corrected with
extension of trunk lines. Others will require more costly improvements to existing trunk lines
or the Installation of lift stations. These more costly improvements are unlikeiy In the near
future. The following discussion is based on the division of the city into seven areas (listed in
Table 1) where vacant land is expected to accommodate future growth needs of the city.
When reviewing these areas the following assumptions regarding improvements to the city's
wastewater collection and treatment system were made based on the City's past policies and
proposed capital improvements.
t The City will make improvements in the overall treatment system to comply with
ammonia treatment regulations.
t The existing sewer between Dubuque Street and Prairie du Chien Road will only
be upgraded to a larger size in response to development in the area served.
t The Prairie du Chien lift station ("Oakes") required for the development of
portions of land east of Prairie du Chien Road will not be built with City funds.
t The construction of lift stations to serve areas which currently do not drain in to
watersheds within the city will not be built with municipal funds,
t Areas which may be sewered with 10 inch or smaller line extensions provided by
the developer are assumed developable.
t Sewer lines over 10 inches in diameter require capital improvement funding,
t Trunk llnes will be extended by the City only when subdivision demand justifies
tap-on fees.
t The West Side trunk sewer will be upgraded.
t The southwest interceptor sewer will not be improved in the near future,
East Area. Construction of the south wastewater treatment plant and the Southeast Interceptor
System have alleviated sewer capacity problems in this area, As a result, approximately 105
acres are avallable for development south of Muscatine A venue, This assumes that the Village
Green 11ft station will be expanded by the developer to accommodate development within the
VllIage Green subdivisions,

Developable land north of Muscatine Avenue and east of First Avenue is serviced by the
Southeast Interceptor Sewer. With completion of the Southeast Interceptor Sewer and extension
of the 18" South Branch Dam Sanitary Sewer, there exists enough capacity to provide ,sewer
service to all of the unplatted lands within this part of the East Area (approximately 110 acres). '
The South Branch Dam Sewer would have to be extended to allow any development beyond the
existing corporate boundaries, No commitment to make these additional improvements is
proposed, If extended, this sewer has the capacity to serve approximately 300 acres adjacent to
the east boundary of the city. Any development beyond 300 acres would require extension of
the Southeast Interceptor Sewer,
Northeast Area. ExtensIon of a 21-inch trunk line along Ralston Creek as part of the North
Branch Ralston Creek Dam project has made approximately 55 acres in the Northeast Area,
generally located adjacent to the north and east borders of Hickory Hill Park and the Ralston
Creek stormwater detention facillty, sewerable. However, the lack of street access and
environmental constraints may limit the development potential of this area.
The Northeast Trunk Sewer which services this area is not a constraint, development had been
hindered, in part, by a surcharge problem downstream in the Jefferson Street section of the
"horseshoe" trunk sewer. Construction of the Southeast Interceptor Sewer, has relieved the
surcharging condition experienced in the area served by the "horseshoe" sewer. The recently
completed interceptor sewer system and plant improvements can accommodate the sewage
treatment needs of the approximately 700 acres of land in the eastern half of the area.
Approximately 475 acres of the 700 acres are designated for residential development; however,
additional capital improvements in the form of trunk line extensions will be needed for
development to occur, The lack of an adequate street network also has slowed development in
this area.
Sewage from portions of the ORP areas adjacent to Interstate 80, are conveyed to the northeast
trunk. As additional ORP areas develop a new lift station will be required to convey sewage
from this area to the Northeast Trunk sewer.
North Area. Approximately 100 vacant acres located west of Prairie du Chien Road would be
served by the Bjaysville Lane sewer. This sewer currently surcharges in wet weather conditions,
and therefore must be upgraded prior to additional development.
Approximately 125 acres of vacant land located east of Prairie du Chien Road will require a 11ft
station to connect to the sewer located in Bjaysville Lane, It is not anticipated that the required
11ft station will be installed in the near future and, as noted above, the Bjaysville Lane sewer
must be upgraded prior to accommodating future growth.
Because of environmental constraints, the development potential of the north area may be less
than 3.25 units per acre.
Peninsllla Area. Approximately 90 acres located north of Foster Road is sewerable by the North
River Corridor Interceptor Sewer, which currently terminates near the intersection of Foster Road
and Calibria Court, Approximately 20 acres in the vicinity of the Idyllwlld development can also
be served by this existing sewer. The remainder of the Peninsula area may be served by the
extension of the River Corridor Interceptor Sewer. Provided that subdivision demand in this
area is sufficlent to justify a tap-on fee ordinance, the Publlc Works Department recommends
that the extension of this trunk line be included in the City's Capital Improvements Program,
Extension of this line would open up approximately 260 acres for development. An additional

110 acres in the northwestern portion of the Peninsula could be served with the construction of
a lift station and force main by the property owners in the area. It should be noted that even
with these improvements, given the topography of the peninsula area, development in this
vicinity may be as low as two or fewer units per acre.
Soutll Area. With the proposed extension of the Sycamore Trunk Sewer in the eastern portion
of the south area, approximately 315 acres will be available for development. The western
portion of the south area cannot be served until the connection of the north and south
wastewater treatment plants is completed. This connection will provide a trunk line in the
vicinity of South Gilbert Street and make approximately 250 acres available for development.
Nortllwest Area. The extension of the Northwest Trunk Sewer from the Hawkeye lift station
across University property to the Walnut Ridge subdivision, has made approximately 150 acres
in the northwest area sewerable. Approximately half of this 150 acres is included in the Walnut
Ridge Subdivision, leaving 75 acres to the west, available for development. A portion of the
Galway Hills subdivision to the south of Melrose Avenue outside of the northwest area is also
served by the Northwest Trunk sewer. Approximately 320 additional acres, including the
northern portion of the Walnut Ridge development, can be served when the northwest branch
of the northwest trunk is built. However, further development of the northwest area is
constrained by lack of capacity in a line crosslng University property. This sewer must be
upgraded prior to full development of the remaining northwest area.
The northern portion of the northwest area includes approximately 330 acres adjacent and to the
north of Clear Creek. The provision of services to this area would require the construction of
a new trunk sewer along Clear Creek. Therefore, development of the Clear Creek watershed is
not anticipated in the near future.
\
Soutllwest Area. There are four capital improvement issues which must be addressed in order
to provide sewer service for the full development of the southwest area. These include the
upgrading of the West Side Trunk Sewer, the extension of the Aber Avenue trunk line, a lift
station to serve the far southwest comer of the city (as in other areas, the lift station would be
bullt by private developers rather than the City), and the installation of a new southwest
interceptor sewer line along Willow Creek southwest of the Airport. The most important of
these improvements would be the Southwest Interceptor. Because all of the sewer llnes on the
west side of the city evp.ntually flow into the Southwest Interceptor, constraints in the Southwest
Interceptor will eventually hinder development even if upstream sewer lines have capacity.
Because of the expense involved, the improvement of the Southwest Interceptor is not
anticipated within the next decade, and therefore full development of the southwest area of the
city will be at least partially constrained in the short-term.
Improvement of a constriction in the West Side trunk line will allow for additional development
of properties north of Rohret Road. This upgrade is currently in the capital improvements
program and Is anticipated to be completed by 1994. With this upgrade approximately 350 acres
north of Rohret Road will be potentially sewerablei however, due to the above-noted constraints
in the Southwest Interceptor, at some point there will not be sufficient capacity downstream to
serve all of the area made serviceable by the West Side sewer upgrade.
The far southwest corner of the City contains approximately 60 acres which will require a lift
station In order to gain access to the Willow Creek trunk line. Installation of this 11ft station
would be the financial responsibility of developers. As noted above, even with this 11ft station,
constraints in the Southwest Interceptor may delay development of this area.

Approximately 100 acres on either side ofHighway 218 south of Rohret Road can be served once
the Aber A venue trunk line is extended to the west. This trunk line extension is not anticipated
in the near future. Even with the trunk line extension, this area may not be serviceable due to
the noted constraints in the Southwest Interceptor. .
Although improvements in trunk llnes in the southwest area of the city may open up areas for
development, the actual numbers of sewerable acres cannot be determined due to constraints in
the Southwest Interceptor. Upgrading of the Southwest Interceptor would eventually make the
entire southwest area of the city sewerable, however, this upgrade is not anticipated in the next
decade.
Conclusion
Based on the above discussion, approximately 530 acres of the undeveloped areas of the city are
sewerable at this time. Trunk line extensions or upgrades are required to allow further'
development of other areas of the city. Some of these trunk line improvements are proposed
in the City's Capital Improvement Plan. Although not anticipated at this time, other trunk line
improvements could be incorporated into the Capital Improvement Plan when demand for
subdivision of land justlftes. Improvements to the Southwest Interceptor and the construction
of lift stations will be required to provide sanitary sewer service to allow the full development
of the southwestern and northwestern areas of the city. These improvements are not anticipated
at this time. Other conditions, such as the lack of street access and environmental constraints,
may limit the development potential of some areas of the city even if sewer service is made
available.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
.A fiscal impact analysis was performed to project. in current dollars, the direct public costs
and revenues associated with projected residential growth within the proposed Windsor Ridge
and Sycamore Farms Annexation areas. Based on the assumptions highlighted in this
summary, the assumptions stated in the study, and the data upon which the study is based,
the study concludes that the revenue generated by residential development within the
proposed annexation areas would pay fo; nearly all of its associated municipal and school
district expenditures, However. certain public expenditures resulting from the development
of these areas could require increases in taxes, increases in other revenue sources and/or use
of current cash. This finding holds true if the same development were to occur within the
existing corporate limits.
In estimating the public costs and revenues associated with the new residential growth, the
analysis assumes full development of the proposed areas, a concomitant demand for
infrastructure and services. and the City maintaining the same level of municipal services it
presently provides. However, full development of these areas will not occur all at once but
over a period of time. Therefore, necessary expenditures may occur prior to the subject areas
generating sufficient revenue to cover the expenditures. In this instance, the remainder of the
community would have to subsidize the subject areas.
The fiscal impact analysis is divided into two major sections, The first section, a municipal
fiscal impact analysis, evaluates the impact on the City's budget of development within the
proposed annexation areas. The second section. a public school district fiscal impact analysis,
evaluates the proposed developments' impacts on the school district's budget.
Munlcloal Fiscallmoact Analvsis
The municipal fiscal impact analysis evaluates the impact of the proposed development on the
City's general fund, enterprise funds. and the capital improvements program.
The general fund analysis examines the operating and capital budgets of those services within
the general fund (i.e. parks and recreation, library, police, fire, street maintenance. and
administration). The analysis of the general fund operating budgets concludes that the
revenues generated by the Windsor Ridge area would pay for its associated expenditures and
would even generate a small surplus of approximetely $330,000, However, the Sycamore
Farms area. would fall slightly short of generating a sufficient level of revenues to cover its
associated expenditures, approximately $210,000.
The potential exists that additional capital expenditures would be required for certain general
fund services, These capital expenditures include the construction of a new library branch,
additional recreation facilities. and even the possibility of a new fire station. However,
construction of any of these facilities would be required as a resuit of growth whether it
occurs in the annexation areas or the remainder of the community. The construction of any
of these facilities would require the use of additional revanua.
The fiscal impact analysis of the enterprise funds examines thosa enterprise funds most
directly affected by residential growth in the proposed annaxation araas, Thase funds include
pollution control, water, transit. and refuse collection funds. This study analyzes these funds
by two components, 11) major physical plants and (2) service lines.

The following summarizes the physical plant needs as a result of development within the
proposed annexation areas. It should be noted that these same physical plant needs would
be required if the same development would occur within the existing corporate limits. The
study concludes that as a result of needing to meet federal ammonia treatment requirements,
additional capacity at the south wastewater pollution control plant would be needed in order
to provide sewer service to the fully developed annexation areas. The cost of providing this
additional capacity would cost approximately $2.0 million. Regardless of growth, the City
also needs to invest in improving its water quality by upgrading its present water system.
Upgrading the system will .require providing sufficient capacity for residential growth.
Additional residential growth in the community, whether it occurs within the existing
corporate limits or outside the corporate limits (in the proposed annexation area or the
remainder of Johnson County), would lead to the existing landfill cell being filled sooner than
if no additional growth occurred. The expense of constructing a new landfill cell would occur
sooner with additional growth in the county than with no growth in the county. And lastly,
neither the transit fund nor the refuse collection fund should require construction of additional
physical plant space.
The following summarizes the service line needs as a result of development within the
proposed annexation areas. The construction of sewer lines, water mains. and streets to
newly annexed areas would be paid by the developer according to the City policy of providing
these services to newly annexed areas. The cost of providing transit service to the
annexation areas would be paid by user's fees, the transit levy, and unpredictable federal and
state funds. Any shortfall in revenue in the transit fund would be covered by the general fund
levy. The cost of providing refuse collection should be covered by the refuse collection users'
fees.
Additional residential growth in the proposed annexation areas would lead to additional costs
of providing municipal services to these areas, Some of these additional costs would be '
covered by the existing property tax and fees structure. Other costs, however, would require
an increase in property taxes. increase in fees and/or use of current cash.
:'
Public School District FiscallmDact Analvsls
The fiscal impact analysis for the school district budget assumes that the State continues to
use a similar state aid formula when the subject areas are fully developed. The analysis
concludes that the school district!s share of the general operating expenses would slightly
increase resulting in an insignificant increase in the operating property tax rate, However, the
capital expenses resulting from the development of the annexation areas would require an
increase in taxes in order to finance the construction of additional elementary schools and
secondary school space. Again these are potential capital ~xpenses which would be required
whether residential development occurs in the annexation areas or within the existing
corporate limits.
As the previous comments indicate and the study explicitly states, this study should be used
as a guide in evaluating the merits of the annexation requests. Given the many variables and
assumption used in this fiscal impact analysis, this analysis provides only a general framework
from which to evaluate the fiscal impacts of the projected growth in the proposed annexation
areas.

INTRODUCTION
The City has received two applications requesting annexation of land to Iowa City. The first
application, the Windsor Ridge Annexation area. requasts annexation of approximately 240
acres located east of Scott Boulevard between American Legion Road and Lower West Branch
Road (See Figure 1), The second application, the Sycamore Farms Annexation Area, requests
annexation of approximately 420 acres located south of Highway 6 between Sycamore
Avenue extended and Sioux Avenue (See Figure 2).
This study, a fiscal impact analysis, projects the public costs and revenues associated with
new residential growth projected to take place in the proposed annexation areas. This study
evaluates only the direct impacts of this growth. For instance, the study estimates the
property tax revenue generated by the new growth projected within the annexation areas; the
stud'; does not attempt to estimate the impact this projected growth would have on nearby
existing property values and thus property tax revenue generated by the nearby properties.
The study also does not address indirect costs, such as the need to improve an existing street
due to the increased traffic generated by growth in the annexation areas. This study assumes
in the long run that all indirect effects will equal zero.
This fiscal impact analysis estimates costs and revenues based on current dollars. By using
current dollars the analysis assumes that costs and revenues will increase at the same
inflationary rate. The analysis also assumes that the City will not significantly change its
priorities on municipal expenditures and sources of revenue. The costs and revenues
estimated in this study. therefore, are based on current dollars according to existing budget
priorities.
In addition, this analysis examines only the public costs and revenues of growth projected
within the annexation areas. The study does not evaluate the private costs and revenues
associated with this growth. In this instance, the study examines the impact of the projected
growth on the City's budget and the public school district's budget.
!.-.
In estimating the public costs and revenues associated with new rasidential growth in the
proposed areas, this study assumes full development of the proposed areas and concomitant
demand for infrastructure and services. In fact, full development of the proposed areas will
occur over a period of years. The cost of providing the necessary infrastructure and services
will occur over that time period, Given the uncertainty of when the specific costs will occur,
this study estimates the costs and revenues associated with full development of the proposed
areas.
The goal of this fiscal impact analysis is to project, in current dollars, the direct public costs
and revenues associated with projected residential growth within the proposed annexation
areas. Given the many variables and assumptions of a fiscal impact analysis, this fiscal
impact analysis provides only a general framework from which to evaluate the fiscal impacts
of the projected growth.

DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ASSUMPTIONS
One of the first steps in a fiscal impact analysis requires reviewing the type of development
, planned for the subject area. In iJoth the Windsor Ridge and Sycamore Farms Annexation
areas, the developers have provided only general descriptions of the potential type of
development planned for these areas. Table A lists the type of zoning for each portion of the
proposed annexation areas, the number of acres of each portion, and the population and
number of housing units that could potentially develop in each portion. To perform a fiscal
impact analysis, staff was required to make many assumptions based on the general proposals
presented by the developers. The following briefly describes the general proposals and
development pattern assumptions made.

Windsor Ridoe Annexation. The Windsor Ridge Annexation request is for approximately 240
acres of low density single.family residential uses, The developer proposes that the entire
240 acres be zoned RS.5, low density single family residential. This analysis assumes that
the entire Windsor Ridge area will develop at sixty-five percent of the maximum density
permitted under the RS-5 Zone. 3,25 units per acre. The comparable housing type used to
estimate assessed values to determine the property tax revenues generated by the proposed
residential development is that of the development located east of Scott Boulevard and South
of Court Street.

Svcamore Farms Annexation, The Sycamore Farms Annexation request, for approximately
420 acres, includes a variety of housing types: mobile homas, medium density single-family
residential, 'and low density multi-family, Table A lists the areas by zone classification,
number of acres, population and number of housing units.
Since the low density multi-family residential (RM-12) zone permits a variety of housing types,
specific housing types were assumed for this study since the developer has not specified his
proposal for the RM-12 area. (See Appendix A, Table 1 for assumptions regarding
development densities.) The comparable housing types and values used for lhe RM-12 area
are those of the development located in West Side Park. West Side Park includes a mixture
of townhouses, zero-lot lines, and apartment buildings.
The northerly RS-8 area is assumed to develop at the density proposed by the developer,
approximately 2.96 units par acre. For the northerly RS-8 area, the developer has proposed
the construction of modular homes and hopes to sell each modular home for under $70,000.
The southerly RS-8 area is assumed to develop at sixty-five percent of the maximum
permitted density under the RS-8 Zone, since no plans have been drawn for the southerly RS-
8 area. Therefore, the comparable housing values used for the southerly RS-8 area are those
of the new housing along Mormon Trek 80ulevard, south of West Benton Street. This
comparable area has developed at a medium density single-family residential density.
The proposed mobile home park area is assumed to develop at the density proposed by the
developer, approximately 4.89 units per acre. The tax revenue estimation for the proposed
mobile home park is based on a typical mobile home park development. Though the developer
has discussed the possibility of each lot being ownad by the owner of the mobile home unit,
this study estimates the tax revenue generated by the proposed mobile home park based on
the typical mobile home park arrangement. That arrangement is that all of the mobile home
lots in a mobile home park are owne(l by a single party and leased to tenants. and that the
mobile home is taxed as a vehicle rather than real property. If in fact the mobile home lots
are owner-occupied and the units are taxed as real proparty. the revenue generated by this
area will increase.
The development patterns for the subject annexation areas are reviewed to demonstrate the
assumptions used to estimate the property tax revenues generated from the subject areas.
The type and value of the proposed housing units greatly impact the revenue collected from
the proposed areas. Assuming higher or lower values would affect the amount of property
tax revenue generated by the area, In keeping these assumptions in mind, this fiscal impact
analysis can be used as a framework from which to approach the, issues of growth and its
impact on the City budget, the school district budget. and on the taxpayer's bank account.
With these basic development pattern assumptions in mind, the fiscal analysis is divided into
a fiscal impact analysis for the City and the school district.

MUNICIPAL FISCAL IMPACT ANALYSIS
In general terms, the Iowa City municipal budget is divided into the general fund, enterprise
funds, and a group of other funds. This fiscal impact analysis focuses separately on the
impacts of the projected growth on each of these three components of the budget. Two
different methods are used to evaluate the fiscal impacts. One method is used for the general
fund (per capita multiplier method) and another method is used for the enterprise funds and
the capital improvements program (case study method).
General Fund
General Fund - General Ooeratina EXDenses & Revenues
The general fund includes the operating budgets for a variety of city departments and
services. These include operating budgets for such services as the library, parks and
recreation, street maintenance, fire, police, city planning, and city engineering, Major capital
expenses, such as the construction of a branch library or major improvements to an existing
street, are budgeted in the capital improvements program. Estimating capital improvements
programs costs associated with general fund services is discussed at the end of this section.
The first part of this section estimates the operating costs associated with the potential
development in the proposed annexation areas.
With any fiscal impact analysis, a method is required to estimate the costs associated with
a particular type of development. A number of methods exists to estimate the costs
associated with new development. The per capita multiplier method was selected to estimate
general fund expenditures. In general. the per capita multiplier method is an average costing
approach which assumes, over the long run, that the average cost of providing services to
current users is a reasonable approximation of the cost to provide services to future users.
.......
l't;--
.~:::
Inherent in this method is the assumption that the same level of municipal services will be
provided community-wide as the proposed areas develop. That is the level of municipal
services will not diminish as a result of additional growth. This means that unless a municipal
service has a significant excess capacity, the City will need to increase the level of spending
to maintain the same level of service. In using the per capita multiplier. this study assumes
that general fund services. as a whole. are either near capacity or have a slight deficiency in
capacity, To maintain the same level of municipal services under this circumstance, additional
general fund expenditures would be required.
Table B lists the estimated total annual expense by annexation area based on the per capita
multiplier method. These figures were calculated based on the assumption that the per capita
municipal expense is a'reasonable representation of assigning costs, Once aggregated for the
entire area, the per capita method appears to be a reasonable means of approximating the
general fund expenditures associated with development in the proposed annexation areas.

Table C lists the estimated annual property tax revenue by annexation area. Property tax

the additional revenue generated by new residential growth will come from property tax
revenue. Other sources of additional revenue from the residential growth include fines,
licenses, permits, and recreation fees. Based on a very rough estimate, both areas combined
could potentially produce an additional $160,000 in revenue.

Table D lists the total annual surplus/shortage by annexation area as a result of finding the
difference between the total annual property tax revenue and total annual expense by
annexation area, Table D demonstrates that before considering other revenue sources, the
Windsor Ridge Area generates a surplus, while the Sycamore Farms Area generates a
shortage. This finding demonstrates that the value of the homes in the subject areas and the
number of persons living in these homes have a direct impact on whether an area generates
a surplus or shortage for the general fund. The value of the homes in the Windsor Ridge Area
appears to generate more than sufficient property tax revenues to cover needed municipal
expenditures. However, the value of the homes in the Sycamore Farms Area appear not to
generate sufficient property tax revenues. When taking into consideration additional revenue
sources, the Windsor Ridge Area continues to generate a surplus, while the Sycamore Farms
Area still generates a relatively small shortage. The areas combined generate a small surplus.
In evaluating these findings, one must remember all of the assumptions made to arrive at
these revenue and cost figures (i.e. type of houses, value of houses, ~umber of persons by
housing type). A significant change in these assumptions could affect the impact which the

General Fund. Related Caoital Exoenses & Revenues
The abovtl analysis of the general fund generally focuses on existing operating expenditures
for those municipal activities :ncluded in the general fund. That analysis does not address the
need for major capital expenditures for those same activities, since major capital expenditures
are part of the Capital Improvements Program. The following analysis addresses the potantial
major capital expenditures In the general fund aroas of library, parks and recreation, and fire
stations.
!.i!ll2ri The Iowa City Public Library is presently at the early stages of a facilities need
anelysis to determine if the existing facility adequately meets users' needs. If the study
determines that,additional space is needed. the library board would then examine expanding
the present facility or providing a branch library in another portion of the community.
Additional growth in the community leeding to additional usage of the public library would
place greater pressure on the public library to expand its facilities. Given the limitations of the
present library location Ii,e, patron's perception of a lack of adequate parking and physical
limitations of expanding the present facility) and assuming that the Windsor Ridge and
Sycamore Farms areas were annexed and developed, the library board could possibly consider
placing a branch library in the southeast area of the community. However, this action might
occur without growth in the Windsor Ridge and Sycamore Farms areas, due to growth
occurring in the existing corporate limits.

Assuming that the Library Board decides to construct an additional library facility, a bond
referendum would be required to finance the cost of the project. (The operating costs of the
new facility would be included in the general fund estimates). An additional tax burden would
fall upon the community's taxpayers. '
Parks and Recreation. Residential growth in the Windsor Ridge and Sycamore Farms areas
would likely result in the need (1) to provide additional neighborhood parks in the proposed
areas and (2) provide additional recreational facilities (recreation center spaca, ball diamonds,
and other such facilities).
The capital expenditures associated with additional neighborhood parks include the acquisition
of land and development of the parks. If in the annaxation process the developer does not
dedicate parkland for active neighborhood open space, the City would need to acquire such
parkland. Funding for acquisition would come out of the parkland acquisition fund. Funding
for the development of neighborhood parks would come from either the parkland acquisition
fund or from debt financing.
Additional residential growth in the community will generally increase the demand on existing
recreational facilities and require additional space if the City wishes to maintain the same level
of service. In the instance of recreation center facilities, expansion could. occur at the existing
Recreation Center, Mercer Park Pool property, or in another location. If the City does develop
east and south, the Mercer Park Pool facility would be a reasonable location for additional
recreation space. The site is designed to accommodate growth. In addition, as the
community develops south and east the demand for an area wide park may develop in
, addition to the need for neighborhood parks. Both of these projects would require major
capital expenditures financed through some type of debt financing. Debt financing that would
be paid through the debt service property tax rate.
Fire Stations. Given the location of existing fire stations, the proposed annexation areas
would be served consistent with emergency vehicle response times in the City according to
a travel time analysis performed by the JCCOG Transportation Division. However. if the east
fire station would be moved towards the northeast quadrant of the City, portions of the
Sycamore Farms Annexation Area would be served by higher than average response times.
In that instance, the City may need to consider the construction of a fourth fire station. This
would be another project funded through debt financing and/or current cash.
Additional residential growth occurring in the proposed annexation areas, or in the existing
corporate limits, would require the above additional capital expenditures if the City desires to
provide the same level of services it presently provides,
Enterprise Funds
This portion of the fiscal impact analysis examines those enterprise funds most directly
affected by residential growth in the proposed annexation areas, The enterprise funds
examined are transit. pollution control, water, and refuse collection (& landfilll. Though
airport. broadband communications, and parking enterprise funds are not specifically
addressed, each of these funds will be generally impacted by growth, For instance, the
parking enterprise fund wouid be impacted by the increased parking demand in the dowhtown

area as a result of the increase in population and traffic generated by growth. These impacts
are not unique to growth in the areas under consideration and, tharafore, are not addressed
in this fiscal impact analysis.
In this analysis, each of the enterprise funds is analyzed by two major components. They
includa (as dafinad by this study) tha major physical plants and the servica lines. The major
physical plants include such things as the wastewater pollution control plants for tha pollution
control fund, the water plants and storage tanks for the water fund, the landfill and public
works facility for the refuse collection fund, and the transit building for the transit fund. The
major physical plant is either the hub ofthe particular fund's activity or the location at which
the critical component of the fund's activity occurs.
The service lines, on the other hand. are the components of the fund's system which delivers
the service to the consumer. The service lines include such things as the transit routes for
the transit fund, sewer lines for the pollution,control fund, water lines for the water fund, and
the garbage routes for the refuse collection fund. In evaluating the impact of the proposed
annexation areas on the enterprise funds, the analysis begins with the service lines.
Service Lines
Sewer, Water. and Streets, The present policy of the City is that all major capital expenses
associated with extending sewer lines. water mains, and streets to newlv annexed areas be
paid by the developer. (Though no separate enterprise funds exist for streets, streets are
included in this section due to the similar policy applied to construction of streets). Unless
the City changes this policy or waives this particular requirement for a specific area, the
developer is expacted to pay up-front all costs of extending sewer lines, water mains, and
streets that are needed to serve the immediate development needs within the proposed
annexation areas. ,
The maintenance and operating expenses of the sewer lines and water mains extended to the
annexed areas would be covered by the water and sewer fees charged the new users in the
annexation areas. Water and sewer fees should not increasa. or increase significantly, to pay
the operating and maintanance costs for tha sawer Iinas and water mains in the subject areas.
The maintenance costs for streets are included in the general fund and are part of the earlier
analysis. Maintenance costs are typically paid for by road use tax revenues which come from
the state. Major improvements costs for streets are included in the capital improvements
program and are typically funded by the use of road use, tax revenue and debt financing. The
amount of road use tax revenue, which the City receives. is based upon a ratio of the City's
population to all Iowa cities as of the most recent census. Unless the City demonstrates to
the State through the results of a special census that the City's population has increased, road
use tax funding from the State should remain the same over the next decade except for
increases appropriated by the State. Therefore, street repair and improvement projects
located in the annexation areas would ultimately compete with existing repair and
improvement projects for road use tax revenues, However, as in any newly developed area,
since streets are new, -major repairs should not be necessary for 15-20 years.
Transit, Discussion of transit includes both fixed routes and paratransit. In terms of
additional costs associated with providing thesa services to the proposed'annexed areas, the

most immediate impact would be the cost of providing SEATS paratransit service. Once the
Sycamore Farms and Windsor Ridge areas are annexed, the City becomes responsible for
paying the cost of providing SEATS service to the existing households within these areas.
Existing users in this area are potentially only a handful. Cost of providing service to these
users would be negligible. However, as the these areas develop the demand for SEATS
service could grow as the elderly and disabled population grew in these ereas. With this
growth the City would have the additional expense of providing SEATS service to users in
these areas.
As the Windsor Ridge and Sycamore Farms areas begin to develop, the demand for transit
service will be low. As the areas develop and become more populated. demand for transit
service will likely increase. The existing transit routps serving the eastern portion of Iowa City
(Rochester, Court Hill, and Towncrest) are all presently 30 minute routes which could be
extended to 45 minutes to serve the Windsor Ridge area. (The additional operating cost of
changing a 30 minute route to a 45 minute route was estimated at $30,000 in 1992.) During
peak periods. the Court Hill route is presently at its carrying capacity, and it would not be
recommended to extend this route. The Rochester and Towncrest routes do have capacity
and could be extended to serve the Windsor Ridge area as it develops. In the past, the City
has perceived the demand for transit service to be low in the more upscale. lower density
residential developments on the fringe of the community, such as the Windsor Ridge area.
The City has been slow to extend transit service to these areas. However, as the Windsor
Ridge area approaches its full development capacity, an additional transit route to serve this
area could possibly be demanded,
\
The existing transit routes which serve the southeast portion of Iowa City (the Lakeside, Mall
and Broadway routes) are either at their headway (interval of how often bus comes) capacity
(Mall). their peak time period carrying capacity (Broadway). or both (Lakeside). Providing
transit service to any portion of the Sycamore Farms area would be extremely difficult without
drastically changing the existing bus routes that serve the southeast portion of the City or
adding an additional bus route. As the Sycamore Farms area fully develops and development
occurs in the surrounding area. the demand for transit service would be high. At least one
additional bus route would be needed.
It is aniicipated that at least one transit route to serve each area would be demanded as both
areas develop and reach their total development potential, The addition of a transit route
incurs both capital and operating expenses. To operate a new route requires a minimum of
two buses in order to meet peak service requirements. One new bus in 1992 dollars costs
approximately $190,000; two buses for one new route would cost $380.000. The addition
of two routes would cost a total of $760,000 for the purchase of the buses. Money available
from the state or federal government to purchase these buses is unpredictable. Therefore,
the City may need to cover 100% of the cost of purchasing these buses, The timing of these
expenses are not estimated due to the inability to predict when the demand for these services
would actually occur.
In addition to the capitel expense of the new buses, a trallsit route incurs operating expenses.
Assuming that the existing transit route policy would continue and each of the proposed
routes would be 45 minutes in lengih (due to the distance from downtown to the Windsor
Ridge and Sycamore Farms Areas), the annual operating expense for a new 45'minute route
(January 1992 estimate. Plaenview Routel is approximately $110,000. The fare box for

the Sycamore Farms route would cover 1/3 of operating costs on this route, or $36,500 for
this route; while the fare box for the Windsor Ridge route would cover approximately 15%
of operating costs of this route, or $16.500 for this route. Therefore, the difference between
the operating costs and the fare box collections ($73,500 . $93,500) would need to be
covered by another rovenue source.
When the Windsor Ridge and Sycamore Farms areas develop to their fullest potential
densities. the Windsor Ridge area would generate (based on FY93 tax rate) approximately
$86,600 in transit levy (property tax) revenue and the Sycamore Farms Area would generate
$101,200. The property tax revenue appears to cover the shortfall from the fare box.
However, the demand for service in these areas would more than likely occur prior to the
areas fully developing. The demand could occur before the property tax revenue generated
by the area would make up the shortfall of the fare boxes. In this instance the General Fund
would need to subsidize the routes serving the proposed annexation areas.
Refuse Collection. The City presently has 20 municipal garbage routes served by 4 crews
working 5 days per week. These routes serve approximately 15,000 households (households
include buildings with up to 4 units per structure). Each crew, therefore, serves
approximately 3,750 households per week. The Public Works Department estimates that the
present crews work close to capacity. The existing crews could serve approximately 1875
new households without great difficulty. However, beyond 1875 additional households an
additional crew would be needed to handle the 1875 + households.
When fully developed, the Windsor Ridge area is projected to have 780 households and the
Sycamore Farms area approximately 2,080 households that would require municipal refuse
collection. Potentially one new garbage route could be needed to serve each area.
The first 1875 additional households would generate a surplus to the refuse collection fund
from the collected refuse fees. The reason is the marginal cost would be less than the
marginal revenue of providing an additional unit of service up to the 1875 households level.
More than 1875 households would require additional capital and labor expense, thus making
the marginal cost greater than the marginal revenue of providing an additional unit of service
to the next 1875 households. The surplus for the first 1875 new household should pay for
the shortfall of the second 1875 new households. Over the long run the average cost of the
service should equal the average revenue of providing the service. (A similar analysis would
apply to the curbside recycling program.'
Phvsical Plant Issues
Wastewater Pollution Control Plant. The City is presently in the process of addressing both
qualitative and quantitativa issues regarding its wastewater pollution control facilities. As a
result of new faderal ammonia traatment raquirements, the City is required to upgrade its
existing wastewater treatment facilities to meet these requirements by the year 2000, To
meet the ammonia treatment requirements. the City will need to expand the total capacity of
its system. This expansion will not provide additional capacity for growth. To provide
capacity for growth, the City would need to further expand the systam's capacity,

Expanding the capacity of the wastewater pollution control facilities is needed whether
additional growth occurs within the existing corporate limits or within the proposed
annexation areas. Based on the sewer usage standard of 230 gallons per day per person and
the projected population of approximately 7.400 for the subject annexation areas, 1.7 million
gallons per day of additional capacity would be needed to serve both the Sycamore Farms and
Windsor Ridge areas, Expanding capacity at the south wastewater treatment plant to serve
the subject annexation area is estimated to cost approximately $1.20 per gallon. Providing
additional capacity at the south plant for the Windsor Ridge and Sycamore Farms areas would
cost approximately $2.0 million.
Though providing capacity to serve .the annexation areas would cost the community, the
community also benefits from having these additional users on the system. The total cost of
complying with the ammonia treatment standards and providing for additional growth has
been estimated to cost between $24 and $30 million, The more users the City has on the
system, the more users the cost for the ammonia treatment can be spread across. Therefore,
the burden of providing ammonia treatment would be less for existing users if additional users
are on the system,
Water Plant. In order to meet new water quality regulations. the City needs to invest in
upgrading its present water system. Whether its finding a new water source, improving the
existing water system, or a combination of the two, all of the options are costly. However,
as with complying with the ammonia treatment requirements for the wastewater pollution
control plants, the necessary water system improvements are more quality driven rather than
quantity (growth) driven, Naturally, providing capacity to provide water for growth areas
would be necessary. however, the future major expense is the cost of upgrading the water
system to meet quality criteria not quantity criteria. As with the wastewater pollution control
facilities, the more water users on the system the more users the cost for providing quality
water can be spread across.
Transit Facilitv, Public Works Facilitv & Landfill. The existing transit facility should adequately
serve the needs of the transit operation. This includes storage space for the four new buses
that would be needed to serve the annexation areas when those areas would be fully
developed. The Public Works facility should adequately serve both the needs of the street
maintenance and refuse collection operations.
Additional residential growth in the commullity, whether it occurs within the existing
corporate limits or outside the corporate limits, will lead to the existing landfill cell being filled
sooner than if no additional growth occurred. With additional residential growth, the expense
of creating a new landfill cell would come sooner than if additional growth did not occur
within the Iowa City/Johnson County area.
Summerv . Enterorise Funds. Additional residential growth in the proposed annexation areas
would lead to additional costs of providing municipal services to these areas through the
enterprise funds. Some of these additional costs would be covered by the existing revenue
fee structure charged by the enterprise funds. Some of these costs. however, would require
increases in fees to pay for them or, in the case of transit, increases in property taxes to pay
for certain expenditures,

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM & DEBT FINANCING
As discussed in meny of the previous sections of this fiscal impact enalysis, development of
the proposed annexation areas would require additional capital expenditures which would
occur in the Capital Improvements Program. Many sources of revenue for financing capital
improvements projects exists. These renge from road use tax to stete and federal grants.
However, this section only briefly addresses debt flnencing as a funding source. Debt
financing of capital projects within enterprise funds are funded through the use of fees
collected by those funds. However, the City is also able to finance debt through the use of
a debt service property tax rate. Based on the FY93 debt service property tax rate and
assuming both annexation areas are fully developed, the annexation areas would generate
approximately $304,000 in additional property tax revenue to help finance projects funded
through debt financing (See Appendix A, Table 4). Annual revenue of $304,000 could
support over a ten-year period a one time indebtedness of approximately $2 million. The need
to generate additional revenue above this amount would require an increase in the debt service
property tax rate.

PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT FISCAL IMPACT ANALYSIS
The fiscal impact analysis for the Iowa City Community School District addresses two major
budget categories: (1) general operating budget and (2) capital projects budget. The general
operating budget analysis examines those costs and revenues associated with providing basic
educational services to the average student. The capital projects budget examines those
major capital projects that would be required as a result of projected growth in the student
population in the Windsor Ridge and Sycamore Farms Annexation areas.
General Operating Budget
The State of Iowa has established an aid formula by which the State assists local school
districts in funding their educational programs. This aid formula determines the expenses and
revenues for the general operating budget. The state has established a maximum expenditure
per student. The state has agreed to help finance a certain perceritage of that maximum
expenditure per student, which is called the minimum expenditure per student. Table E lists
the maximum expenditure per student and the minimum expenditure per student. Any amount
over the minimum expenditure per student expenditure is paid 100% by the school district
through the use of property taxes, This all assumes that the state aid formula remains the
same.

Table F demonstrates approximately the amount of state aid the school district presently
receives. Assuming that the same state aid formula is us ad when the subject annexation
areas are fully developed, Tables E and F also calculate the amount of state aid the school
district could potentially receive when the annexation areas are fully daveloped.

The state aid formula is dependent upon the number of additional students as a result of the
development of the subject areas and the amount of property tax revenue generated by the houses
in which theses students live. The number 01 students generated by the subject areas is dependent
upon the type of housing (see Appendix B, Tables 5 & 61. The Windsor Ridge and Sycamore Farms
areas would generate approximately 560 and 910 students, respectively. The property tax revenue
generated is dependent upon the value of the homes in the subject area (see Appendix 8, Table 7).
Tables E and F demonstrate how the property tax rate for the general operating budget would be
effected with the full development of tho annexation areas, Full development of either anne.xation
area would result in the increase in the general operating budget property tax rate. Comparing the
two annexation areas shows that the operating property tax rate would increase more as a result of
the Sycamore Farms area fully developing than if the Windsor Ridge area fully develops. This can
be explained by the fact that the Sycamore Farms area could potentially generate approximately 350

more students while creating only an additional $ 15 million in taxable property value than the
Windsor Ridge area.
In both instances. the increase in operating property taxes is relatively small ranging from $2 to $6
for an $80,000 home (See Table E). Though small, the additional growth in students attending the
public school system could potentially increase property taxes for all homeowners in the community.
Capital Projects
In speaking with a school district administrator, the additional students generated by the residential
growth in the Windsor Ridge area (560 students) could warrant the construction of an elementary
school in the area. An additional elementary school would be warranted in the Sycamore Farms area
as a result of the additional students (910) in the area. In addition to two new elementary schools,
the junior and senior high schools would need additions. A bond referendum would be required to
finance the construction of these projects, and thus an increase in the school district property tax
rate.
In the iroterim, while the subject areas are fully developing, additional busing and additional temporary
classrooms would probably be used until the need to construct additional permanent facilities could
be addressed. These would be additional expenses for which the school district would need to
generate additional revenue.
Summary - School District Budgets
The residential growth occurring in the Windsor Ridge and Sycamore Farms areas, as with residential
growth in any part of the school district, would require additional expenditures by the school district.
Some of the additional costs could be paid for by the additional property tax revenue generated by
the subject areas. However, this revenue would not be sufficient to cover all of the costs, Additional
tax revenue from existing property owners and residents in the school district would be required.

MUNICIPAL FISCAL IMPACT ANALYSIS: IOWA CITY GENERAL FUND
Assumotlons and Sources of Information
This portion of the fiscal impact analysis only calculatas, in current dollars, general fund
related costs and revenues associated with projected residential growth within the proposed
annexation areas. The study assumes full development of the proposed areas and
concomitant demand for infrastructure and services, The study also assumes 1) the FY93 tax
rate will apply in the future, 2) city government will maintein the same level of services, and
3) city government will not change its municipal expenditures priorities. All numbers are
presented in FY93 dollars. Source for property tax rate and general fund expenditure figures:

determined by calculating percentage of total assessed values which are
residential properties and adjusting this figure. Based on the City Assessor's
records, approximately 70% of the total assessed values are residential
(residential & commercial apartments) properties. This 70% figure was
adjusted upward after reviewing the general fund expenditures and determining
that approximately 80% to 90% of the general fund expenditures are
attributable to residential uses,

APPENDIX B
SCHOOL DISTRICT FISCAL IMPACT ANALYSIS: GENERAL OPERATING
EXPENSES AND REVENUES TO EDUCATE STUDENTS IN THE IOWA CITY
COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT
Assumotlons and Sources of Information
This portion of the fiscal impact analysis only calculates, in current dollars, general operating
expenses and revenues for providing basic educational services, to the average student
associated with projected residential growth within the proposed annexation areas. The study
assumes full development of the proposed areas and concomitant demand for infrastructure
and services. The study also assumes 1) the FY93 tax rate will apply in the future, 2) the
school district will maintain the same level of service, and that 3) the state will maintain the
present school aid formula. Unless otherwise stated, information for this analysis comes from
Jerald Palmer, Administrator for the Iowa City Community School District.
Tables E & F demonstrate the calculations for the School Districts Operating Expenditures and
Revenues (see next two pages).

During tllis past year I IIave IIad tile opportunity to reflect on tile progress tllat we
IIave made, not only in FY 1992, but in tile ten years tllat I IIave served as Executive
Director of Mayors YoutJ~
The FY 1982 audit tllat I reviewed indicated tllat MYEP offered one (1) program
(In-Scllool Component) witll a $49,478 annual budget. Tile FY 1993 projected budget
will exceed $330,000 and includes ten programs! Mayor's Youtll was located in
"donated" space in tile Hawkeye Area Community Action Center receptionist area. I
need say no more about our current location made particularly desirable bJl tile recent
acquisition of another Victorian structure immediately adjacent to tile Youtll Center.

Tllere are several staff accomplisllments in FY 1992 for wllicll I am proud.
The "DARE Youth For ACTION" program lias provided tile opportunity to serve
significantly more youtll of Jollnson County. Exposure to community service and
voluntarism at a very young age can IIeigllten a strong sense of tile important role that
citizen involvement plays in fostering a viable community. Furtller, young people
experience an increased level of self-esteem as tlley focus their awareness on IIelping

Increased funds provided tile opportunity to IIire a full time case manager and

vocational programming for tile young people of our community.
We were pleased to receive anotller year of funding from CommuniJy
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds to participate in a sllelter construction project
witll tile City of Iowa City Parks & Recreation Department. In keeping witll tile
cllanging focus of tile Committee on Community Needs, we sllall turn our efforts towards

The board of directors and trustees of the Youth Senrices Foundation, Inc., have
just completed the fOUlth year of planning and ftmdraising on behalf of the member

The annual statistics will reflect the tremendous increase in the number of young
people served and will also provide the opportunity to reflect on new, efficient, creative
and beneficial methods of maximizing staff time as advocates of our young people while
continuing to meet the ever increasing demands for our services.

One, very dramatic observation that was made after completion of the FY 1992
statistics: despite a 32% increase in the number of youth employed or participating in
volunteer and exploratory programs, the waiting list soared 71%. We simply must
continue to strive towards offering more program opportunities for our youth and young
adults that are waiting and in need of our critical services,
We are grateful to share such a close office arrangement with the staff of United
Action for Youth, Inc "UAY". Despite the tremendous responsibility staff face in
operating and maintaining the number of programs offered, they always find time to
advise, console and assist in our efforts.
FY 1993 marks our 25th Anniversary of service provision in Johnson County.
As we begin to develop an even stronger mission statement through the strategic planning
committee of the board, we will continue to focus on what is, and has been, our
commitment throughout our 24 year history.
Jobs creation, jobs retelllion and empowennent through employment and
volulllarism are the initiatives that we embrace, thereby affording the opportunity for
young people that we serve to move fonvard with their vocational interests and pursue
careers that benefit themselves and their communities. I shall never forget Ihe look of
pride and selfconfidence of one of our MYEP special graduates that will soon begin a
four (4) year journey apprenticeship at the University of Iowa; our clients are all special
to us.
I am pleased with the continuing progress made possible thus far by a dedicated
and creative staff with the assistance of a fine advisory board, tremendous worksite
supervisors and a wealth of human service agencies that understand the significance of
collaboration.
I hope that you will find the infomzation contained ill this report beneficial to you
in understanding more fully the programs and services offered to yowh of JOhnsOl1
County and I would welcome your comments in an effort to make this document more
helpful to you in the Mure.

"EDUCATION AND

LEADERS"
In 1968, Section 115 of the Social Security Act
was amended to provide greater employment
opportunities for disadvantaged teenagers. The
Govemors Youth Opportunity Program was
adopted by the State of Iowa to offer vocational
services for youth. In Iowa City, the city council
passed a resolution that established the Mayor's
Youth Employment Program Advisory Board.
Since 1968 2,392 individuals have been employed
as Mayor's Youth students, with numerous others
receiving occupational and vocational assistance
through the program.
Mayor's Youth Employment Program (MYEP)
mission is to provide employment opportunities
for disadvantaged youth of Iowa City and the
su"ounding communities in Johnson County.
MYEP strives to prepare individuals of Johnson
County for the 'world of work" by affording them
the opportunity to leam basic job skills and
develop good work references. Ultimately, the
program prepares disadvantaged persons for
transition from publicly funded positions to
competitive employment. Without such assistance
significant barriers to future employment could
exist.

IN-SCHOOL COMPONENT
--;
Mayor's Youth (MYEP) operates the Iowa
Conservation Corps In-Se/lOol Component for
Johnson County. Approximately 33 youth
between the ages of 14 and 21 are employed for
10 - 15 hours per week in various public and
private non-profit sites. This program begins
August 15 and ends June 15. If program criteria
is met, staff will interview youth and either
employ them or place them on a waiting list.
Youth may be referred throughout the school
year. School credit is often available for students
participating in the in-school component.
TRANSITION PROGRAM
Mayor's Youth, in conjunction with a coalition of
, Placement Service Providers in the community,
offers a transition program for high school and
recently graduated teenagers who have not
completely demonstrated the capability of being
competitively employed. Eligible individuals are
offered paid employment and follow-along
services. In addition, MYEP negotiates with other
agencies for job coaches if needed. There is no
age criteria for this program, however, the focus is
on individuals between the ages of 18-21.
Approximately 38 youth were served through this
program in 1992. Services may be provided year
round.

A young woman residing in Youth Homes group home for
young women, expressed interest in our non-traditional
career program. She successfully completed four (4)
exploratory apprenticeships and at the same time, applied
and was accepted to participate in the University of Iowa's
Pre-Vocational Program. On completion of graduation
from MYEP and Pre-Vocational, the Iowa City Community
School District hired this young woman in the paint shop.
During the latter part of November, 1992, she became
employed full time, with benefits, as an apprentice at the
University of Iowa. She is 19 years old.
..,
This success story demonstrates the services offered and
portrays the youth served through programs at Mayor's
Youth Employment Program. This story is one of many
successes our youth have experienced this past year. MYEP
staff, Board, and supporters would like to honor the efforts
of all youth served during this past fiscal year, and wish
them continued successes ill the coming years.

efforts to meet trallSportation needs,
Tile Optimists purcilased 0 pick-up tmck for our use and all
of tile staff join me in wondering i10w we got along witilout itl

OUTLOOK FOR
THE FUTURE
~,
, '
.-,
Mayor~ Youth Employment Program staff will continue to strive to meet the demands of seIVice
requests from young people in the community. As we approach FY 1993, we shall pursue
additional resources in order to enlrance tire existing programs offered by tire agency.
We were awarded a grant from tire US Office of Housing and Urban Development (HUD),
Department of Economic Development, to provide technical assistance to aid low- and
moderate-income youth to become self employed. Tlris grant will offer the opportunity to
expand our programs and include a greater number of Irard to se1Ve youtlr.
We are awaiting word from the Dole Foundation to develop a program that would focus on pre.
employment training for our clients witlr disabilities. The addition of tire Dole Foundation grant
would allow us to expand the educational opportunities for our clients wlro are in need of
additional skill building and assistive devices to enlrance their preparation and productivity at
future worksites,
We are working closely with two (2) foundations located in tire Minneapolis & St. Paul,
Minnesota area. Position papers will be submitted to tire Northwest Area Foundation and tire
McKniglrt Foundation for program enlrancements in our entrepreneurial youth and Mississippi
River ConselVation Corps Programs.
A new resource for environmental education funrJing from the Environmental Protection Agency
presented itself recently. We shall submit a request for funding from Region VII in mid.
January, 1993. Our proposal will be a collaborative effort among the states of Iowa, Minnesota,
and WISconsin and will focm on development of a strategic plan for creating environmental
awareness of tire Mississippi River tlrrough tire Mississippi River ConselVation Corps.
In close, we shall focm on tire enhancement and expansion of seIVice delivery in tire JOh/ISO/l
County area wlrile searching for resources outside of our community to strengthen tire resources
that exist within Johnson County.

YOUTH
SERVICES
FOUNDATION
The primary purpose of the Youth Services
Foundation is to support and assist the member
agencies by raising funds to supplement each
agency~ existing resources. In addition,
foundation funds may also be used to assist other
qualified, non-profit, tox-exempt youth serving
agencies in the Johnson County area. The Board
of Directors and Tmstees along with the three (3)
executive directors (ex-officio members) of MYEP,
United Action for Youth and Youth Homes are
continuing to define the methods for meeting the
goals and objectives of the Foundation.
In FY 1992, the foundation continued to focus on
a direct mail campaign to "friends of youth ':
Designed to raise funds and heighten awareness
of the member agencies, the project continues to
bring many, new friends to the foundation.
The Second Annual "YSF Victorian Dinner" was
a tremendous success again this year. A lovely
dinner was held in the garden of the home of Mr.
and Ms. Wagner residing itl beautiful Woodlawn
in Iowa City. Gues.ts were entertained while
several noted chefs of Iowa City prepared a
superb dinner. Board members and staff
provided the service for the event.

CITY OF IOWA CITY
RE: Melrose Avenue Bridge Replacement Project
Dear Ms. Jacobson:
With this leller we will allemptto provide answ~rs to those questions/concerns you raised in your
leller of November 16, 1992. Please excuse the tardiness of our response, but we have just
recently received the title/legal information regarding the location of the city limit line between
Iowa City and University Heights across Melrose Avenue. Refer to Attachment A for location of
city limit line.
Bridoe Desion
\
On March 17, 1992. the City Council for the City of Iowa City approved resolution no. 92-69,
which established final design fees for engineering services for the Melrose Avenue Bridge
Replacement Project. At the informal meeting with the City Council on March 16, 1992, staff
discussed the alternative, bridge widths and recommended the four-lane design. The four-lane
bridge design was recommended by the City's design consultant, NNW, Inc. According to the
Urban Design Aids of the Iowa Department of Transportation (lOOT). the width required between
barrier rails for a four (4) lane bridge is 56'. However, after a me~ting with officials from lOOT
and the transmillal of a leller requesting the use of the Alternative Urban Design Guides, lOOT
approved a four-lane bridge width of 50' between barrier rails. Therefore, the project Is currently
under design for a 4.lane bridge measuring 50' between barrier rails along with 8' wide sidewalks
on each side. The pavement east of the bridge is under design for four lanes measuring 47' back
of curb to back of curb along with an 8' wide sidewalk adjacent to the north side and a 4' wide
sidewalk along the south side of Melrose Avenue. The pavement west of the bridge will taper to
the existing roadway width on Melrose Avenue at Olive Court. which measures 36'. Drawings
showing this transition have been submitted to your engineer for review. The City Council for the
City of Iowa City will discuss the reconstruction of Melrose Avenue and the Melrose Avenue
bridge at their work session of February 1, 1993, at 6:30 P.M. in the Council Chambers located
in the Iowa City Civic Center. A resolution to consider the project plans, specifications and cost
estimate will be voted on at a future Council meeting after the plans and specifications are
completed and before bid packages are issued to prospective contractors. You are welcome to
allend.
Due to its condition, the Melrose Avenue bridge was ranked third on the lOOT city bridge
candidate list (dated January 21, 19921 to receive Federal Aid Highway Bridge Replacement
Program funding. On March 17, 1992, the City of Iowa City, by resolution, entered into an
agreement with lOOT for federal funding in the amount of $650,000, As noted previously, with
the Urban Design Aids and the Alternative Urban Design Guides, lOOT sets parameters such as
widths for two and four lane bridges. Four.lane design for the bridge Is based upon the present

usage of 11.000 to 14,000 vehicles per day and the future demand which will be generated by
the University Hospital Eye Clinic, continued growth on the west side of Iowa City, the' Avenue
of the Saints, . and the connection of Camp Cardinal Road. The Arterial Street Plan for the Iowa
City Urbanized Area, which was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Johnson County Council
of Governments, shows that the existing two lanes on Melrose Avenue are not adequate to serve
present conditions.
The design does Include the straightening of the alley behind Olive Court so that the north 20' of
the alley will be Installed perpendicular to Melrose Avenue. See Attachment B for detail.
Effect on Prooertv Owners
The design requires constructing the project in four (4) stages. The first three stages involve
constructing the bridge. While the bridge is under construction, one lane of vehicular traffic in
each direction and at least one sidewalk will be provided. During the final phase of stage 2
construction, the alley located adjacent to the southwest corner of the bridge will be closed during
the installation of temporary pavement on Melrose Avenue. which is necessary in order to provide
one lane of east-bound traffic on Melrose Avenue during stage 3 construction. During stage 3
construction, due to the location of traffic control devices, vehicular traffic onto or from said alley
will be restricted to right-turn onto or right-turn from. Construction during stage 4 will involve
utility installation and the removal and replacement of approach pavement. While this stage is
being completed, which is estimated to take 2 months, the bridge will be closed to vehicular
traffic. In order to keep access open to said alley during stage 4 construction, the pavement and
sidewalks west of the bridge will be rebuilt in phases. However. the alley will be closed while its
connection to Melrose Avenue is reconstructed. Aware of the importance to provide dead-end
streets/alleys access, the amount of closure time to the alley will be minimal but closure will be
necessary In order to remove, install and cure paving materials.
The University of Iowa has declined the request to detour vehicular traffic through the University
parking area located west of Kinnick Stadium. Therefore, while the approaches to the bridge are
reconstructed, the Traffic Engineer for the City of Iowa City has recommended the implementation
of the following detour route: Melrose Avenue-Sunset Street-Benton Street-Riverside
Drive-Burlington Street for eastbound traffic and vice versa for westbound traffic.
The location of a University Heights storm sewer Is In conflict with a new bridge pier.
Approximately 10' of the downstream end of the storm sewer will be relocated, Service will not
be interrupted or restricted while the storm sewer Is relocated or while bridge construction is
completed.
Easement/Richts of Wav
The acquisition of right of way and temporary construction easements will be necessary relative
to the following tracts of land located In University Heights:
· Right of way acquisition and a temporary construction easement located adjacent
'to the northwest corner of the bridge; to be obtained from Nate Moore, owner.
Please note that although most of the property owned by Nate Moore next to the
northwest corner of the Melrose Avenue bridge is located in University Heights,
said parcels Involving right of way and temporary construction easement are
located In Iowa City.

· A temporary construction easement located near the southwest corner of the
bridge will need to be obtained from Russell and Margaret Brooks, owner of lot 400
University Heights 3rd Addition.
· Permission to work within University Heights right-of-way will need to be obtained
from University Heights. Granting of such permission can be included as a part of
an agreement between the City of Iowa City and University Heights.
Righi-of-way and construction easement plats have recently been completed; the acquisition
process will begin very soon. Costs associated with the acquisition of right-of-way and
construction easements will be the responsibility of the City of Iowa City.
Reouested Contribution
The city limit line between the City of Iowa City and University Heights has been located and
found to be further west than originally anticipated. The City of Iowa City has requested that
University Heights pay the costs for those improvements located in University Heights, which are
now estimated at $12,000. The improvements located in University Heights will be the removal
and replacement of Melrose Avenue pavement and sidewalk. Please note that the $12,000
estimate Is Just an estimate. Actual costs will be based upon final measured quantities and unit
bid items.
University Heights will not receive a proportional dollar benefit of the federal funding attributed to
the DroJect but will benefit relative to vehicular and pedestrian use of a new bridge as this is
without a doubt the most extensively used entrance into University Heights.
I hope the responses in this letter answer your questions and concerns. An agreement will be
drafted in the near future by the City Attorney of the City of Iowa City which will deal with the
aforementioned relocation of a storm sewer; the granting of permission by University Heights to
the City of Iowa City to work in University Heights' right-of-way; permitting the previously
referenced detour route through University Heights; and the payment by University Heights of the
actual costs for improvements located in University Heights, currently estimated at $12.000.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please notify Denny Gannon, our project engineer,
as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
.

Re: Reconstruction of Melrose Avenue and Melrose Avenue Bridge
De3/' Resident:
During the Summer of 1993, the City of Iowa City hopes to begin construction on the Melrose
Avenue Bridge Replacement Project. Due to Its condition the Iowa Department of Transportation
(IDOT) has ranked It third In the State for bridge replacement assistance. The project will Involve
the following:
1) The removal and replacement of the existing bridge with a four-lane bridge Including an
8' wide sidewalk on each side.
2) The removal and replacement of the existing pavement from the bridge to approximately
150' east of Hawkins Drive. The new four lane pavement will measure 47' back of curb
to back of curb, The existing pavement Is 31' wide. The bridge will be centered within
the existing right-of-way while the wider pavement will gradually shift to the north so that
from Hawkins Drive east, all of the widening will be on the Unviersily's side of Melrose
Avenue and the south curb line will remain In the same location. An 8' wide sidewalk will
be Installed along the north side of Melrose Avenue and a 4' wide sidewalk will be
Installed along the south side of Melrose Avenue.
3) The removal and replacement of the existing Melrose Avenue pavement from the bridge
west to Olive Court In University Heights. The pavement width will taper from the bridg&
to the existing roadway width at Olive Court, which measures 36'.
4) The estimated construction cost Is $1,250,000; the City will be seeking federal funding In
the amount of $650,000.
Another project proposed for the near future Is the reconstruction of the remainder of Melrose
Avenue pavement from approximately 150' east of Hawkins Drive to Byington Road. Design has
not begun for this project but It appears that the four lane concept will continue to S. Grand
Avenue whereupon the facility will then be reduced to three lanes (two east.bound and one west-
bound) to Byington Road. A start date for construction of this project has not been determined
but City Council will consider this project at Its upcoming budget meetings. The estimated
construction cost Is $525,000. As you know, traffic counts continue to Increase and should grow
substantially with the construction of the new eye clinic and parking ramp,

The Noon Rotary did not receive any speciflc purchase proposals In response to their Interest In

whether the sale should proceed further and therefore do not anticipate placing the property back
on the market In the near future. ! suspect that the Mayor's Youth/Peg McElroy-Fraser proposals

INITIAL REVIEW ORDERS
Defendants.
The court has before it for initial review a pro se
complaint submitted by a former inmate of the Johnson County
Jail. The complaint is brought under 42 U.S.C. ~ 1983 and
jurisdiction is predicated on 28 U.S.C. ~ 1343. Plaintiff seeks
injunctive relief and damages and requests leave to proceed in
.
forma pauperis. Plaintiff demands a jury trial.
To state a claim under ~ 1983, a plaintiff must allege
that he was deprived of his constitutional rights by defendants
while acting under color of state law. A pro se complaint in a
proceeding in forma pauperis must be construed liberally. See
Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520 (1972) (per curiam). However,
it can be dismissed on initial review if the claim is malicious
or frivolous. 28 U.S.C. ~ 1915(d); Horsev v. Asher, 741 F.2d
209, 211 (8th Cir. 1984). A claim is "frivolous" if it "lacks an
arguable basis in law or in fact." Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S.
319, 325 (1989).
Plaintiff was arrested in Iowa City in September of
1992. He asserts that the arresting officers, defendants
I
Reynolds, Sueppel, Gass, and Droll, assaulted him in the cou.rse I
of the arrest. Plaintiff also contends that he was beaten bn l! eEl V E: D

these officers ,and defendan~3rtb~iJrf~iiowSat the county jail.
('\......
These allegations do not appe~~,:toJ2~:J;rivolous, based on the
limited inf~rrnation the cour!ei 'hafib~fcl;~:, it' at this time.
Plaintiff asserts that the Johnson County Coroner,. who
is a John Doe defendant in this case, examined him but did not
provide treatment for his injuries. Plaintiff also. contends that
defendants Reynolds, Sueppel, Gass, Lalla, Rockerfellow, Sheriff
Carpenter, and Jail Administrator Wagner refused to provide him
I
with treatment for diagnosed post-traumatic stress syndrome. He
asserts that he was taking prescribed medication for this
condition, but these defendants refused to allow him to have the
medication. These claims do not appear to be frivolous.
Plaintiff has namec! the "Iowa City Police Department"
as a defendant. Thi~ is in essence a claim against the city of
Iowa city. Plaintiff has not alleged facts which, if proved,
would support municipal liability. See Monell v. Department of
Social Services, 436 U.S. 658, 694 (1978). The claim against the
Iowa city Police Department will be dismissed.
IT IS ORDERED that the complaint be filed without the
prepayment of costs. permission to proceed in forma pauperis is
GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that service of process issue to
defendants according to law. The clerk need not serve any
defendant identified only by descripti~n or incomplete name.
Plaintiff should provide full names and addresses of any such
defendant if they become available to him.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the claim against the Iowa
City Police Department be dismissed.as frivolous. See 28 U.S.C.
U915 (d) .

RE: Effluent Limits for Mercury' - Wastewater Treatment
Facilities
DATE: January 29, 1993
Public Works wastewater division staff has, since mid 1992, been
investigating the presence of mercury in the City's wastewater
influent. The investigation and subsequent sampling study was
precipitated by levels of mercury in our wastewater effluent
being greater than the permitted .08 parts per million (ppm).
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources issued an
administrative order on January 21, 1993 requiring the City to
submit a report of our sampling study to the district field
office by March 1, 1993.
The sampling study to date leads to several conclusions.
Mercury concentration in the wastewater influent must
be below 50 ppm in order to 'maintain wastewater
effluent concentrations at or below .08 ppm. '
Mercury concentration in the Iowa River varies from .12
ppm to .13 ppm.
\
Mercury concentrations in the wastewater are not
consistent from sample to sample or from day to day.
Mercury concentration in the Iowa City water plant
effluent (finish water) is .40 ppm. The safe drinking
water mercury concentration limit is 2.0 ppm.
The highest concentrations of mercury, varying from .24
ppm to 4.54 ppm were found in the river corridor sewer
which serves a large portion of the University of Iowa
campus. It is believed that the Chern/Bot Building and
the U of I Hospitals and Clinics are the main sources
of mercury contamination.
Mercury has been found in laboratory sink traps several decades
after mercury use has been discontinued; so proper laboratory
practices today does not mean that.mercury discharges will cease.
Also it is possible that mercury deposits exist downstream from
laboratory, facilities in old sewer lines at manholes and pipe
. joints.

The long term solution is to remove mercury deposits from both
public and private wastewater collection systems. This is
obviously not going to 'happen soon, as 5 months of study without
determining all possible sources of mercury contamination has
demonstrated. I hope the IDNR has the wisdom to understand this.
In the past they have not.
As an aside/the maximum fine the City can impose on the
University (the most probable source of mercury contamination) is
$1,000 a day. The maximum fine the IDNR can impose on the City
as a result of the same contamination is $5,000 a day. A net
profit to the state of $4,000 per day.

DATE:
January 21, 1993
This memo is in response to d ~elter you received on December 11,
1992, from the Johnson County Department of Public Health. The
Department of Public Health 1S concerned about the failure and
potential failure of several seplic tanks serving apartments and
condominiums along tne north side of Foster ~oad near the Elks
Club property.
City sanitary sewer service is currently not available to
property north of Foster Road and west of No Name Street since
the sanitary sewer collection system currently terminates at the
intersection of Foster Road and No Name Street. To provide
sanitary sewer service to this area, a sewer main should be
extended north and west from the terminus of the existing sewer
following' the alignment of an existing drainageway.

The property owner along the drainageway has, in the past,
opposed any proposal to extend sanitary sewer. Therefore, until
such time when the City can secure' sewer easements through
negotiation, or the septic tanks present a definite health
problem as determined by the Johnson County Board of Health, the
Public Works Department does not recommend proceeding with
providing sewer service to the 90 acres.

Re: Onsite Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems on Foster Road
Dear Mr. Atkins:
I met with Mr. Bruce Glasgow recently regarding several properties
located on Foster Road in Iowa city. At our meeting he expressed his
concern that there are several properties that are not connected to
the city sewer in this area. He feels that the properties could be
contaminating the Iowa River by leaching into a nearby ravine and
migrating to the river.
The properties that Mr. Glasgow indentified are mostly apartment
buildings and condominiums. Our records show that they are serviced
by onsite wastewater treatment and disposal systems that are
approxim~tely fifteen years old. Th~ age of the wastewater systems,
the marginal soils, and the fact that many of the condominium and
apartment owners have no knowledge of their wastewater systems has
resulted in some system failures. The number of failures will
increase as the systems age.
I am writing to you to encourage you to look at providing city sewer
to these properties when it becomes feasible for the City to do so.
Mr. Glasgow mentioned that he may want to develop a property that is
located west of these properties sometime in the future. If this area
is going to be developed, only the provision of city sewer will better
insure protection of the City'S water source, the Iowa River.
Thank you for your consideration of this issue. If you have any
questions, please don't hestiate to contact me.
Sincerely,
~~

United Way Planning Division's Agency Rankings ......................... 23
In making recommendations for Iowa City's FY94 human service agency funding, the basic goal
has been to support agencies with the funds necessary to maintain current services and to
provide those services to Increasing numbers of clients. The agencies that receive City of Iowa
City funding for their operations have been extremely creative in attempting to hold down local
costs while meeting expanding client needs. They have intensified their efforts to collect fees
for service from those clients who have the ability to pay. They have enhanced inter-agency
cooperation through joint ventures and shared resources. They have restructured programs to
provide less costly service models: substituting group services for one-on.one services whenever
appropriate, for example. They have also extended their funding bases by securing state, federal
and other grant support. Yet, even with all these cost containment efforts, the need for
additional local funding remains. Many agency clients do not have the financial resources to pay
for services; sometimes only very intensive programs are effective; and grant sources often
change or disappear aitogether. The Committee has concluded that the agencies' requests are
reasonable and conservative.
You will recall that the City Manager's initial recommendation for the City's FY94 funding for
human services was $307,211. which included $81,000 in CDBG funds. After he made that
recommendation, Iowa City was informed that it will receive $190,000 more in CDBG funding
during FY94 than had been anticipated. The City Manager met with Marianne Milkman, '
Community Development Coordinator, and me to discuss the impact of that increase on Iowa
City's ability to meet the funding needs of its human service agencies, We agreed to recommend
to Council that up to an additional $24,000 of CDBG funds be used to support the operation of
human service agencies in FY94. You will find, therefore, that the enclosed recommendations
total $331,211. A very significant factor in determining the City's larger CDBG allocation was
the increase in the number of Iowa City families who are living below the poverty level. Because
the human service agencies funded by the City are on the front line dealing with the problems of
those families every day, it Is appropriate to devote a portion of the funding increase to support
these services.
The Committee's recommendation Includes maintaining Iowa City's contingency fund for human
service agency support. Because the financial resources of our agencies are stretched so thin and
non.local funding sources are so volatile, agencies are particularly vulnerable to mid.year changes
that would cause serious disruption of services. The contingency fund will be used only in cases
of emergency, and any request for contingency fund support will be coordinated with requests
from United Way's un allocated reserve and from the County.
Council will discuss the Committee recommendations on February 1, 1993, If Council determines
that no additional Committee or Council sessions are needed, funding figures determined at the
February 1 meeting will be utilized In the City's budget making process.
If you have any questions or desire additional material. please call me at 356-5242.

COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF IOWA CITY
FOR FUNDING HUMAN SERVICE AGENCIES IN FY94
I. REQUESTS FOR CONTINUED IOWA CITY FUNDING (AND FOR CONTINUED COUNTY FUNDING)
A. Big Brothers/Bia Sisters: Recommended Funding $30,000
Current Funding Funding
FY94 Request Recommendation
Iowa City $ 28,500 $ 30,000 (+5.3%) $30,000 (+5.3%)
County 14,000 16,500 (+17.9%) 14,500 (+3.6%)*
United Way 16,000 19,000 (+18.8%)
Total Income $150,417 $160,150 (+6.5%)
Descriotion of Proaram: Big Brothers/Big Sisters provides oppor-
tunities for social, emotional, mental and physical development for at-
risk children, primarily from single-parent families. Children aged
6 through 14 are accepted into the program, and services can continue
through age 18. Program goals are reached through matches made with
adult volunteers in the community for long-term one-to-one friendships.
Professional caseworkers provide on-going support for the volunteers,
the children and their families. The GAP program, a joint effort of
Big Brothers/Big Sisters and 4-H, is offered for children who are
waiting to be matched; youngsters meet weekly for nine weeks in small
groups with adult volunteers for educational, recreational and social
learning experiences. '
. Significant Chanaes Prooosed:
1. 5% salary increases are proposed for all staff.
Rationale for Recommendation: This is an excellent program meeting a
real need. Reintroduction of the GAP program has provided important
service to children on the waiting list. This agency continues to do
an excellent job of fund-raising in order to meet some of its needs.
A funding increase of $1,500, the agency's full request, is proposed.
Director's Salary: Within the updated suggested range from the 1984
salary study.
Director's Benefit Points: 90.5
* All County "Funding Recommendation" figures throughout this report were approved
by the full Board of Supervisors on January 21, 1993.

Description of Prooram: The Domestic Violence Intervention Program
makes comprehensive services available to those ,affected by domestic
violence in Johnson County. This agency provides: safe shelter, food
and clothing for victims of battering (and their children); short-term
counseling, advocacy and referral for both shelter residents and other
victims of abuse; programs for children of battering famil ies and
assistance for parents in meeting their children's needs; community
education on the issue of domestic violence; and outreach to victims
whose batterers have been arrested under the mandatory arrest law. The
Domestic Violence Intervention Program has begun a capital drive to
secure funding for the purchase of a larger bUilding to replace its
overcrowded shelter facility.
Sionificant Chanoes ProDosed:
I. Occupancy of a new shelter facility is projected in mid-FY94.
2. A range of salary increases combines with a staff increase of
1.03 FTE's to produce a 22% increase in salary expense.
Rationale for Recommendation: The Domestic Violence Intervention
Program has consistently provided the community with high quality
services at a very reasonable cost. The bUdget submitted remains
conservative. Families often experience serious difficulty in securing
appropriate, affordable, permanent housing when they are ready to leave
the shelter. This causes their stay at the shelter to be extended and
seriously taxes the agency's resources. The agency has begun a very
ambitious capital campaign to secure funding for a facility that can
aDDroDriatel~ accommodate the number of clients in need of shelter
services. A funding increase of $7,500, full funding of the agency's
request, is proposed to help the agency meet the increased operating
costs of the proposed larger facility.

Descriotion of Proaram: The Emergency Housing Project provides short
term shelter and referral, services to those in Johnson County who
cannot provide for themselves. Clients include single men and women,
couples, and families with children. Many of the individuals semd
are referred by other local agencies. Some of those who are sheltered
are local people experiencing housing crises; some are people who came
to Iowa City and cannot find a place to staYi some are stranded here by
an emergency; and some are true transients. The Emergency Housing
project has also served as a soup kitchen providing dinner for both
shelter residents and other persons in need. However, the Emergency
Housing Project's Board of Directors has decided that the agency can no
longer provide the level of service required for the soup kitchen and
plans to end that service during 1993 as soon as other arrangements can
be made.
Significant Chanaes Prooosed:
I. The Emergency Housing Project is requesting Coralville funding.
2. The Soup Kitchen Program will be terminated during 1993.
3. A new Administrative Director position is created at .6 FTE.
4. A 36% increase in salary expenditures results from the addition
of .43 FTE's staff and a range of salary increases.
~ationale for Recommendation: This is a valuable service that ~reats
its clients well and saves the resources of referring agencies. While
the churches have increased their support, it is clear that other
sources of funding' are also necessary to help this agency meet the
significantly increased need for its services. The agency continues to
work to broaden the base of support for its operation. A funding
increase of $1,500, full funding of the agency's request, is proposed.

treatment for children aged 6-15 with behavior disorders. Parent
Support Services - family therapy, parent education, and supervision to
help keep trouble~ families together.
Sionificant ChanQes Prooosed:
1. Youth Homes is requesting new Iowa City and Coralville funding.
2. A range of salary increases and a staff increase of 1.25 FTE's
yield an increase of 6% in salary expenditures.
Rationale for Recommendation: Youth Homes provides a range of high
qua 1 ity programs to our community. Its shelter servi ces are of
particular importance. While City of Iowa City Community Development
Block Grant funding for capital expenses has been crucial to the
Shelter, Residential and Structured Community Independent Living
Programs, new City funding for operational expenses is not recommended
at this time.
Director's Salary: Above the top of the updated suggested range for
FY93 and FY94.
Director's Benefit Points: 98.2

III. REQUEST FOR CONTINUED IOWA CITY FUNDING (AND FOR COUNTY FUNDING THROUGH ITS
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH)
ICARE (Iowa Center for AIDS/ARC Resources and Educationl:
Recommended Funding $8,500
Current Funding Fundi ng
FY94 Request Recommendation
Iowa City $ 7,500 $ 8,500 (+13.3%) $8,500 (+13.3%)
Department of
Public Health 11, 000 13,000 (+18.2%)
Un ited Way 10,500 12,500 (+19.0%)
Total Income $77,550 $82,050 (+5.8%)
Descri ot ion of ProQram: ICARE offers two programs. The Di rect Service
Program includes emotional, financial and practical support to those who have
AIDS or who are HIV positive. It includes a Buddy Program and support for
the families and loved ones of,clients. The Resources and Education Program
provides educational services and materials to the communitYi it includes a
resource 1 i brary of current ,AIDS-related information.
Sionificant ChanQes Prooosed:
1. The Coordinator of Services position, which has not been filled during
FY93 because of fiscal constraints, is re-established in FY94.
2. The Director's salary increase of 1% combines with reintroduction of
the Coordinator of Services position (at .5 FTE) to result in a 39%
increase in salary expenditures.
Rationale for Recommendation: We have barely begun to understand the impact
that AIDS may have on our community and its human service resources. ICARE
works to moderate that impact by providing some of the help needed by clients
through a program of volunteer buddies and other support services. It also
works at preventing the spread of this disease. This agency has been quite
successful at fundraising projectsj however, it is clear that fundraising
alone will not be enough. Johnson County funds ICARE through its Department
of Public Health. A funding increase of $1,000, full funding of the agency's
request, is proposed to help support existing services.
Director's Salary: Not included in the 1984 salary study.
Director's Benefit Points: 46

NEIGHBORHOOD OPEN SPACE
Public neighborhood open space serves the public interest by providing opportunities for active
recreation and playas well as places for relaxation and passive pleasure. Neighborhood open
space is considered a vital part of a community and often serves as a focal point of
neighborhood activity. Attractive open space enhances and preserves 'private property values,
and sarves the immediate and future needs of area residents in the same way as Dther capital
improvements, such as streets, water mains and sanitary and storm sewers serve residents
of a neighborhood. The process of urban residential growth requires these improvements to
ensure a safe, healthy and livable environment. As population density increases and private
open space decroases, the demand for public open space will increase.
Neighborhood open spaces are small areas intended to serve a local residential population.
The function of neighborhood open spaces should reflect the type and character of the
neighborhood within which it is located. Many times neighborhood open space is found
adjacent to elementary school sites or environmentally sensitive areas. Such open space is
often considered a focal point within a neighborhood. Within inner city environments where
the availability of open space is extremely limited, its use may be passive, providing merely
a peaceful place in the midst of urban densities, or it may be an active pedestrian/bikeway
greenway linkage to community parks and recreation areas. Within a developing single-family
residential subdivision, open space should be of sufficient size to serve both active and
passive recreation needs.
\
:his update to Iowa City's Neighborhood Open Space Plan proposes a methodology to analyze
open space needs at the neighborhood level and implementation strategies to acquire open
space to satisfy those needs. Although the concentration of this update is on neighborhood
open space, the need for city-wide parks and the development of the Iowa River Corridor trail
system and a greenbelt system linking parks is also recognized. The plan update also
proposes grouping individual neighborhood open space districts within major watershed areas
in the city as a way of facilitating open space connections along waterways. The plan update
is intended to be a dynamic working document that will reflect current and projected needs
for open space within existing and developing residential environments. Reviewing and
updating policies and standards of the plan will be essential if the plan is to remain current.
Comprehensive Plan Background
The 1978 Comprehensive Pian presented the first comprehensive approach to the allocation
of parks and recreation resources throughout Iowa City. During this process, neighborhood
open space was recognized as a key component of open space planning for which additional
planning was required. The 1978 Plan adopted certain goals and objectives related to the
allocation of neighborh.ood open space, The 1978 Plan encouraged the provision of a
complete range of parks, open space and recreation opportunities located according to
population density, suitability of sites, accessibility. and neighborhood needs.
The 1978 Plan subdivided Iowa City into 13 "Neighborhood Park Service Areas." Within each
neighborhood park service area, a needs assessment was performed which projected the

amount of open space that would be required to serve existing and future populations. The
Plan endorsed the coordinated provision of parks, recreation facilities and open space, where
practical, with the Iowa City Community School District, the University of Iowa and Johnson
County. The Plan recommended the establishment of a financial management system to
acquire future sites for schools, parks and other public facilities prior to the development of
the neighborhoods which they are intended to serve. The Plan also recognized the private
sector's ability to contribute needed open space through the subdivision process, by
dedicating minimum amounts of undeveloped land for recreational purposes.
The 1983 Comprehensive Plan Update recognized the importance of reevaluating the 1978
Plan. In 1985, the City reevaluated the parks and open space components of the 1978 Plan.
The resulting 1985 Neighborhood Open Space Plan was adopted as part of the 1989
Comprehensive Plan Update and generally affirms that the goals and objectives of the 1978
Comprehensive Plan continue to be valid. However, specific strategies to implement an open
space acquisition program were never formally adopted.
The current update evaluates several challenges identified during the 1985 neighborhood open
space planning process.
1) The city as a whole needs to be addressed when determining neighborhood open space
needs. The 1978 Plan and the 1985 Update did not consider the downtown and
already developed areas in the neighborhood open space planning process.
2) The boundaries of neighborhood open space districts need to be determined. The park
service areas of the 1978 Plan were considered too expansive to make a determination
of local neighborhood open spaca needs. The 1985 Update defined the boundaries of
neighborhood open space districts only in the developing areas of the city.
3) The appropriateness of using a national standard for determining neighborhood open
space needs in different areas of the city needs to be reevaluated. Strict adhorence
to a national standard, such as was done in the 1978 Plan and the 1985 Update, may
not recognize local differences in population characteristics, density, housing form,
changing neighborhood characteristics and form, open space availability, economic
base, topography. etc., or meet specific local needs.
4) An action plan of open space acquisition strategies needs to be adopted and
implemented by the City. The 1978 Plan and the 1985 Update never moved beyond
projecting the open space needs within neighborhood open space districts in
undeveloped parts of the community.
The current plan update moves beyond the 1978 Plan and the 1985 Update in that it
addresses the developed as well as the developing areas of the community. Although the
Cantral Business District, heavily commercial and industrial areas, and University of Iowa
properties are excluded from the open space analysis, commercialzones that are experiencing
residential development ab~ve the ground floor and are contiguous to residential zones are
included in the assessment. The boundaries of the eleven developing neighborhood open
space districts, established in 1985, were retained. The boundaries of fourteen neighborhood
open space districts in the developed areas of the city were determined primarily by
recognizing barriers to open space accessibility. such as busy streets, railway lines or the
river, as the lines separating districts.

Pressure to grow beyond the City's existing boundaries has been evident since construction
of the Southeast Interceptor Sewer and the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. As growth
occurs, newly acquired areas should be fully incorporated into this plan. These areas should
be placed in new or existing Neighborhood Open Space Districts and watershed areas.
Neighborhood open space needs should be evaluated, and then provided in the newer areas
as well as in the existing portions of the community.
A formula, described in detail below, was devised to assess the open space needs of each
neighborhood open space district throughout the city. A standard formula was used to obtain
a baseline assessment of the open space ne'eds of each district, but was evaluated with some
flexibility in response to the differences in neighborhood population characteristics, open
space suitability in terms of location and accessibility, and the inherent environmental
resources or restrictions within each district. The update recognizes the distinction between
active and passive open space areas when assessing the open space needs of a neighborhood.
Stormwater detention basins or wetland areas, for example, may serve as passive open space
areas, but should not receive full credit for meeting the open space needs of a neighborhood.
The minimum of ~ neighborhood open space is considered to be three acres per 1,000
persons.
The plan update places greater emvhasis on facilitating safe access to neighborhood open
speces, creating pocket parks in intensely developed areas with high open space deficits, and
adapting areas of large community parks to serve as suitable neighborhood open space. The
current update places a greater emphasis on corridors, greenbelts and linkages than previous
open space plans. The plan update proposes to group open space districts in a way which
will facilitate development of trails to provide safe, pedestrian transportation corridors,
preferably greenway linkages, between open space areas, such as neighborhood and
community parks, and elementary school playgrounds.
NEIGHBORHOOD OPEN SPACE ASSESSMENT
Based upon the characteristics of properties within each neighborhood open space district and
development projections, criteria for the selection of minimally acceptable open space were
determined and a process for the calculation of open space need was developed. These
assumptions were used in the needs assessment calculations for each neighborhood open
space district. It is the goal of this portion of the Update to provide a policy for the
acquisition of sufflclant open space'ln neighborhoods for active and passive recreational uses.
Active recreational facilities may Include basketball courts, small play fields, or playground
equipment not Intended for organized sports. Passive recreation may Include picnIcking,
walking or merely enjoying open space. Implementation of this plan will seek to provide for
both active and passive neighborhood open space neads.
1. SI/e Se/ec/lon Cri/erie: The site selection criteria are used to determine minimally
acceptable open space within each district. The criteria listed are guidelines for tha
acceptance or rejection of dedicated or purchased open space as determined by the
needs assessment process:
. For active open space. the size of the parcel should be between 3-7 acres. The
acquisition Rnd/or development of contiguous open space parcels within
adjacent developments to reach the sum of seven acres shall be encouragad,

;'~~::....!~:\,t"J' :'~,~)I,;,';r,~~:....'.:. rl~'~'l": ',., ..' ,', .' \' ". ',.'
· Unless a critical need for the parcel is demonstrated, the parcel should not be
accepted if the City must incur considerable time and expense to prepare or
maintain the parcel.
· Generally. the parcel should be located centrally, usually within 1/2 mile of
most residences within a particular district. However, areas 'of high population
density within a district, particularly multi-family dwellings, should be favored
when locating open space. Pocket parks should be considered in developed
areas with high residential densities.
· The parcel should be easily accessible to potential users in the district and must
be safely accessible on foot. Neighborhood open spaces are primarily intended
for pedestrian accessibility although certain circumstances may require
provision for limited vehicular parking where pedestrian access is shown to be
difficult.
· Unique landscapes, such as environmentally or ecologically fragile areas and
storm water detention basins may also serve as acceptable open space. Sewer
easements may provide suitable, linear open space, particularly for trail
development. Recognizing the various functions of open space, only a portion
of these areas should contribute to the total open space needs of a district.
· Existing parks, greenbelts and school yards may be credited in the calculation
of open space needs in districts they influence. Parks, schools and recreational
areas should be linked with trails whenever feasible.
2. Needs Assessment:
A formula has been devised to determine the amount of open space required for each
of the neighborhood open space districts. This formula relies on several needs
assessment standards and assumptions which are outlined below.
a. Needs Ratio: A need of three acres of neighborhood open space for every
1000 residents is established as a basis for the needs assessment. This ratio
is based on a national standard for neighborhood open space which was found
to be appropriate. and should be the minimum of ~ open space provided
within each neighborhood.
b. Density of Development: When projecting the population of undeveloped areas,
it was decided that the projection should be based on the assumption that an
area will' not develop to .the maximum density for which it is zoned.
Requirements for streets, stormwater detention facilities, irregular topography,
and consumer demand for larger lots often prevent areas from developing to
maximum density. A survey of past developments in Iowa City shows that, on
the average. areas developed to 65% of the maximum allowed density. The
formula thus assumes that areas will develop at 65% of maximum density
(e,g., if an area is zoned for maximum of five lots per acre IRS-5), it was
assumed that there would be 3.25 (65% of 5) lots per acre containing
households of 2.34 persons each). This factor reflects the historical trend in
. development in Iowa City; inclusion of this factor in the calculations in no way

negetes previously adopted policies to encourage the development of Iowa
City's residential areas at the density permitted by zoning.
c. Credits: The formula gives credit for existing public open space within a district
towards fulfilling a district's open space naeds. Exlstfng parks are given up to
seven acres of credit. This is consistent with the site selection criterion of a
neighborhood park being a maximum of seven acres. To give full or more than
seven acres of credit to existing large parks might lead to one large park
fulfilling a district's entire open space need. The character, function and
location of large parks often make them inaccessible to a greet portion of an
open space district or unsuitable for neighborhood use. A portion of a large
park may be adapted to address a neighborhood's open space needs, so could
'be given partial credit. A large park thet is adjacent or accessible to more than
one district (e.g. Hickory Hill Park) may provide some credit for more than one
district.
Since school sites often provide open space in the form of playgrounds, sports
fields and other open areas, they are given partial credit towards fulfilling the
districts' needs. However. this credit is limited because the City has little, if
any, control over the use of school sites. The formula limits this credit to 25%
of the school's opan areas, or five acres. whichaver is less. This prevents a
large school site, such as West High (70 open space' acres). from
inappropriately appearing to fill a district's entire open space need. In fact, a
school site may need to have its credit discounted even more than the formula
allows. if it does not have suitable, accessible neighborhood open space.
The standards and assu'mptions outlined above have been integrated into a
formula which determines the amount of active open space required for each
of the neighborhood open space districts.

The procedure for applying the formula is as follows:
1. Determine the Total Projected Populetion of a District
a. Land area of each district is divided into two categories:
'Exisiing developed areas
'Non.developed areas
.
b. Area measurements are taken to determine:
'Non.devaloped acreage
'Existing park and open areas of school acreage
c. Non.developed areas are divided according to zoning density
(e.g. RS.5, RS.8, RM.12, etc.) to project population.
d. Where possible, 1990 census data is used to determine the
current population of existing developed areas within a district.
e. When census data is not available, or is ambiguous, or when an
area has not yet been developed; it shall be assumed that there
will be 2.34 persons per household as indicated by the 1990
census. The,number of households shall be assumed to be 65%
of the maximum number allowed according to the Zoning
Ordinance.
f. Total potential population of a district is determined by adding (d)
and (e) above.
2.
Determine the Gross Acreage of Open Space Required
\
The standard of three acres open space per 1000 residents shall be
applied to the total population, (f) above, to determine the total active
open space need for each district.
3.
Allowance for Credits
If the district contains open space in the form of a park or school site,
a portion of that open space shall be applied toward fulfilling the
district's open space need. No more than seven acres of credit shall be
given to an existing park. Up to 25% of the school site or five acres,
whichever is less, shall be credited towards fulfilling a district's open
space need. A portion of the park or school site which is credited
toward a district's need shall be subtracted from the district's total open
space needs, leaving the amount of open space that must be obtained
through development fees, dedication. or City acquisition.
The following table entitled, "Iowa City Neighborhood Open Space Assessr.lent," presents the
results of the above formula as it applies to each of the neighborhood open space districts in
the Developing Zone and the Developed Zone (see Appandix for computations and evaluative

linkage Within Watersheds
The current plan update emphasizes linking neighborhood open spaces. community parks and
the river with trails. It is expected that the majority of trails will parallel watercourses in much
the same way as sanitary sewers do. As the City grows, a trail system could be developed
within sewer line easements and in floodplain areas along waterways through development
impact fees or land dedications. In areas of the community which are already developed.
greenway trails could be established as part of sewer construction projects. or through the
use of general public funds or recreational trail grants. These trails would provide natural, non-
vahicular connections between neighborhoods within a watershed: This plan update proposes
that individual neighborhood open space districts be grouped within watersheds. Open space
impact fees or land dedications secured within a watershed could be used to establish a trail
natwork that would link tlie open spaces within that particular watershed. The resulting open
space must be designed and located so that the benefits of trail development will accrue
directly to those areas that generate fees or lend for open space provisions. Fees contributed
from one area of the community cannot be shifted to provide open space in an entirely
different or separate area of town. The map below indicates the general watershed locations
in Iowa City.

Acquisition & Mslntenance
There is a demonstrated need for neighborhood open space throughout Iowa City. In order
for this plan to be effective, certain actions need to be taken so that needed open space can
be acquired, developed and maintained.
It is the recommendation of this plan that needed open space within the Developing Zone be
acquired through the subdivision approval process by implementing a mandatory open space
dedication and/or fee in-lieu-of dedication ordinance. This appeers to be the most equitable
method for acquiring needed open space since the amount bears a direct proportion to the
level of demand generated by new developments. Any impact fees or land dedication must
be directly related to the need for open space created by each new development as it occurs.
That is, those who pay will be expected to contribute QD]y their equitable share for providing
open space. Further, the use of impact fees is legally constrained: those who pay for open
space must benefit from the provision of open space. Impact fees cannot be used for the
general community welfare, or invested in areas separate from the contributing developments
in the community.
Due to the limited availability of open space within the Developed Zone, other methods of
acquisition, such as capital improvement programming and fee-simple purchase may be
required. It is also recommended that Iowa City cooperate with Johnson County to coordinate
the allocation, development and maintenance of open space of mutual benefit to adjoining
developments within the City and County.
In order for this Plan to be effective. the City should allocate sufficient funds so that newly
acquired open space can be developed and adequately maintained. An alternative to public
funding of maintenance is development of neighborhood maintenance districts coincident with
the open space districts. Under this alternative. benefitting residents would share respon-
sibility for the maintenance of their neighborhood park.

LANDFILL
\
City Manager Atkins presented operating budget Information, Atkins stated there are a substantial
number of policy Issues relating to the landfill, Atkins stated the closure and post-closure Is the
single most dramatic Influencing factor on the expenses at the landfill, Atkins stated he Is
assuming that the City will maintain and aS3ume the liability for the landfill In the future, and that
the City of Iowa City will continue to operate the landfill, Atkins stated the City will need to require
the users of the landfill to provide the City with some sort of financial protection such as cash to
provide for the closure and post-closure costs, Atkins explained the City currently has about one
hundred acres of landfill and It Is esilmated In today's dollars to close the landfill It will cost
$70,000 per acre, totalling $7 million. He stated the $7 million will need to be set aside and
cannot be used as operational. Atkins stated that to raise $7 over fifteen years Is $460,000 a
year that must be generated In cash, utilizing 70,000 tons (or an annual measurement), Two-
thirds of that tonnage comes from Iowa City and the remaining third comos from Johnson County
and other communities, 01 the two-thirds of that tonnage that comes from Iowa City, about 15%
Is from residential pickups, The remaining tonnage Is from businesses and Industries within the
corporate limits of the city. Atkins proposed that the City would charge Iowa City businesses and
citizens a $5 surcharge on top of the tonnage fee which would generate $230,000 a year. All
others would be charged a $10 per ton surcharge to generate an additional $230,000, Total
monies raised from the surcharges would equal $460,000. In addition, Atkins proposed a $1,25
per ton charge which would generate $87,500 per year for toxic c:eanup day, Atkins stated that
the plan would provide that communities would be billed for the cost of landfill services, The City
of Iowa City would deal with political Juriedlctlons where they must regulate the pickup of waste,
Atkins stated that Council needs to decide If there Is merit to establishing some sort of authority
to run the landfill, Public Works Director Schmadeke provided Information about the current
landfill, Schmadeke explained 10-12 cells In the landfill are old cells and there Is one new cell,
Schmadeke stated there Is potential for six more new cells due to new regulations,
Atkins stated that for the purposes of balancing the budget, the proposed landfill fee Increases
are In the budget. Atkins stated Council needs to set policy as to whether they want to continue
to run the landfill and develop these systems, or establish an authority, Atkins stated that once
decisions are made on how to run the landfill, then he would proceed with establishing financial
tools that would address fees to be charged for operating the landfill, Atkins stated that other
communities would need to be notified that the City Intends to bill them for usage of the Iowa City
landfill, In response to KUbby, Atkins stated 70,000 tons would generate sufficient Income to be
able to have post-closure, but operational decisions along the way could change those figures,

Atkins explained that a trust would be set up to handle the closure and post.closure funds. Kubby
also proposed Increasing the $1,25 per ton fee for toxic clean-up to $1,50,
Atkins stated Council needs to decide (f) Do you want to run the landfill, (2) Should there be
premium charges by jurisdiction, (3) Should the City pass along to the political Jurisdictions the
responsibility to control and manage the garbage within their corporate limits, Atkins stated he
will prepare a summary memo that Identifies the vanous Issues and policy positions for Council
to approve,
Atkins stated that other landfill Issues Include land use planning and annexation,
TRANSIT
Atkins presented Information about the Transit Department budget. Atkins stated that In FY84
Transit utilized 6,1 % of the Property Tax revenues and In FY94, 13,5%, Atkins stated the City's
share of the SEATS budget In FY87 was $92,000 and In FY94 $290,000, Atkins slated a policy
position adopted a number of years ago was that the Transit fare box revenue would be 40% of
their budget, and currently It Is In the high 20's%, Atkins emphasized the cost per tnp continues
to rise, Atkins reported that In FY82 the farebox revenue was $687,000 and the farebox revenue
Is almost the same this year, Atkins reported that City staff Is convinced that ridership would
decrease If the farebox was Increased to 60 cents, Atkins stated transit ridership currently Is not
growing and their only real means to reduce the tax participation Is reduction of service. City
Manager and Council discussed Increasing the price of the farebox and the cost of parking,
Ambrlsco noted that In addition to the tax subsidy, the Transit Department owes the Parking
Department $400,000 plus 7% Interest for each year of the loan.

CALL TO ORDER:
Franklin called the meeting to order at 7:45 PM.
DISCUSSION OF LAND USE ISSUES IN THE IOWA CITY EXTRATERRITORIAL AREA:
Moen stated that the purposa of the meeting is to outline issues surrounding the Iowa
City/Johnson County Fringe Area Agreement that was adopted in December 1983, She noted
there has been frustration with the document for both Iowa City and Johnson County as a
result of the loose language which allows for differing interpretations of the Agreement. She
indicated there are also pressures for development that have been exerted since adoption of
the Agreement that warrant a reexamination of the Agreement. She also stressed that the
economic climate has changed in the past nine years, noting that Iowa City is more
conservative regarding the commitments that will be made with regard to infrastructure
extensions. She suggested it would be good for both Iowa City and Johnson County' if the
Agreement were revised, Moen stated that there is the related issue of annexation and said
that there have been requests for annexation to Iowa City by property owners in Johnson
County, She stressed that the purpose of the meeting is not to debate the specific annexation
proposals, but to address tha pr~ssures that are leading to these requests,
Franklin stated that with regard to the annexations by Iowa City, Johnson County has the
right to review and comment on the requests. She reported that with regard to rezonings in
Johnson County, Iowa City has the same right to review and comment. She said with regard
to platting of land within the two mile fringe area, there is equal authority between Iowa City
and Johnson County, Saunders stated that the position of Johnson County with regard to
these meetings is that there is a probability that the County will need to look into other areas
for growth, He indicated that traditionally the North Corridor has been the source of most of
the applications for development, He stated that this area is now extensively developed and
there is no interest being expressed in devalopment in other areas. He suggested that it may
be in Johnson County's best interest to revise the Agreement to open.up several other areas
for development. He said that Iowa City has annexation requests in Areas 5 and 6 and
Johnson County has development raquests in Areas 4 and 5 as well as some requests In Area
7 based on proximity to the highway, He noted that not much interest has been expressed
in areas west of Iowa City for development, Saunders said that JO,hnson County's policy has
been to encourage development in the North Corridor but to let others come to the County
with other requests to see if they can be worked out, He stressed that he does not want to
create any exclusive zones, but would like to be able to give property ownars some guidance
as to the probability of approval for development.
In response to a question from Moen, Saunders stated that he would not be cooperative with
developers in areas that have not been previously approved for development, Moen noted

that if annexation occurs in Arees 5 and 6, this would shift the boundary of the Fringe Area.
Saunders noted that the tendency for the development of subdivisions within the two mile
fringe area is new, He stated that he understands the City will grow and that development
adjacent to the City should be built to standards that will be acceptable to Iowa City because
of the possibility of their future ennexation, He suggested that Johnson County might be able
to steer growth to some other areas in order to avoid growth in certain areas as a trade-off.
He indicated that the County has talked about rezoning some residential areas to agricultural.
In response to a question from Franklin, Saunders clarified that this discussion has taken place
between staff, the County Attorney, and Saunders who have discussed this issue individually
with members of the Board of Supervisors, Gibson ask~d for an explanation of the Johnson
County philosophy for development, Saunders stated there is no one philosophy. He said it
is important to understand that not everyone wants to live in Iowa City so the County needs
to ensure that septic systems and 'Neils work and that roads are adequate, Terry said that
it is also important to consider the current land use, He noted that the County is attempting
to cluster development and to leave some areas as natural habitats. He said that the County
also avoids development in areas with a high corn suitability rating (CSR). Gi~son noted that
the County's philosophy seems to be accommodation subject to certain conditions being met.
Saunders stated this is an accurate statement. Dvorak stated that zoning in Johnson County
is more reactionary, He said that they look at the impact on the immediate area and not the
impact on Iowa City, Saunders recognized that Iowa City is concerned about large lot
developments in the fringe area and the difficulty involved in annexing the larger lots into Iowa
City, He stressed that the County is not trying to avoid this type of development, primarily
in response to concerns expressed by the Johnson County Ambulance Service, the Johnson
County Sheriff and school bus drivers,
Franklin asked if the County has been successful with the cluster type development. Saunders
responded that ail but one developer had agreed with the clustering concept, He noted that
clustering is a part of the County's ordinance, Terry stressed that the clustering preserves
wildlife habitat and decreases the cost for developers as well as reducing the competition f!i;
the water supply, Gibson emphasized that the layout of the lots is the most important issue
because Iowa City needs to avoid inheriting land that has been subdivided in a manner that
is incompatible with the urban type of development found in the City, Franklin stressed that
the connections between subdivisions are also critical, She said this is important in the urban
area because it facilitates the provision of services such as trash collection and snow removal,
Saunders stressed that Johnson County does not want to begin maintaining the streets in
subdivisions, Dvorak suggested that it is possible that the County require easements within
developments for future street connections to be granted to the municipality.
Terry asked if Iowa City would only accept hard surfaced roads in annexation areas, Franklin
responded that Taft Speedway, Bjaysville Lane and Ventura Avenue were taken in at Johnson
County's standards and when the residents want improvements, they are expected to be
assessed for the project. She said that if she believed an area were likely to be annexed within
the next five years, she would be more concerned with having the streets built at Iowa City
standards, She stressed that assessment for the improvement of the streets is not automatic
upon annexation, She noted that the North Corridor is developing in more of an urban
fashion,
Saunders asked for information on what the City would like in terms of annexation with regard
to Areas 4, 5 and 6. Gibson indicated that the City looks outward so there is a focus for
development, but said that this only exists in the County with regard to the Fringe Area,

Fringe Area Subcommittee
November 12, 1992
Paga 3
Scott notad that Iowa City amends its Comprehensive Plan to ensure that the Zoning
Ordinance complies with the Comprehensive Plan. Scott asked if it would be possible to heve
revisions to the Johnson County Comprehensive Plan, Dvorak rasponded that the Johnson
County Comprehensive Plan is reviewed every five years, but stressed that funding has not
been available in the past two years to conduct a review, He stated that they should be able
to do in-house review of the Plan, but stressed that public hearings and meetings tend to
decrease the time that is available for this type of activity, In response to a question from
Rockwell, Franklin steted that the East Central Iowa Council of Governments does planning
for small communities, but there would be a cost associated with the revision of a
Ccmprehensive Plan for Johnson County. Dvorak reported that the County's plan has not been
reviewed since 1977 except for additions that were racommended by Iowa City, Saunders
stressed that the process of the Fringe Area Committee maeting should lead to revisions of
a portion of the County's Comprehensive Plan,
Dvorak noted that roads often guide development and Prairie du Chien Road is a problam for
Araa 3, He stated that in the next three years, this road is likely to be improved and this will
increase the amount of development that occurs in this area, Gibson stated that he is
encouraged by what he has heard at this meeting, especially noting that Johnson Count\,'s
attempt to cluster development is consistent with Iowa City's goal to keep development from
being spread out. He suggested that the Agreement might be able to require clustering in
soma areas, Franklin noted that the reasons givan for clustering were the potential for future
urban development and the provision of services, She indicated that the City does not
anticipate annexation in Area 3 or Area 4 north of 1-80 based on wetershed differences, She
noted there are also difficulties in sewering for Areas 1 and 7, Moen noted that the potential
construction of an elementary school in western Iowa City is likely to result in subdivision
requests to Johnson County in the erea west of Iowa City that might eventually request
annexation. Franklin stressed that once an area can be served by the City's infrastructure,
it is politically difficult to refuse the development, In response to a question from Gibson,
Franklin slated that the extraterritorial area can be up to two miles or it can be less at the
local m'unicipality's discretion. In response to a question from Dvorak, Franklin stated that the
City is making a concerted effort to involve the School Board in the planning process, She
said that the School Board seems to take the position that there will be additional students
in the system and that it does not matter if development occurs on Johnson County or Iowa
City land,
Saunders stated that the Agreement will need to address the wording that would be beneficial
to both governments and that tradeoffs should take place, Franklin suggested that staff
develop policy statements on how to generally approach deve!opment in the Fringe Areas that
both governments can agree on, Scott stated that he does not anticipate the annexation
issues to be resolved before February 1993,
It was agreed that the next meeting would be held on January 14, 1993, at 7:00 PM, at the
Iowa City Civic Center,

Dear Conference Board Member:
The annual meeting of the Iowa city Conference Board for the
consideration of the Iowa city Assessor's FY 1994 budget is
scheduled for Monday, February 1, 1993 at 6:30 P.M. at the
Iowa city civic Center. Enclosed, so you may review the
information before the meeting, are:
1. The Agenda.
2. The Proposed Budget.
3. The 1992 Annual Report which includes
the program division statement.
4. A copy of March 2 and March 31, 1992 minutes.
5. Joint mapping expenditures to date.
Please note that the amount to be raised by taxation for the
Assessment Expense Fund has decreased over last year's amount.
The decrease consists of:
\
a. $ 6,500 for the biennial assessment rolls and postage.
b. $21,894 increase in the unencumbered balance.
$28,334 Total Decrease
This decrease is offset by the following increases:
c. $ 7,100 for a 4% increase in salaries.
d. $ 1,010 increase in FICA and IPERS.
e. $ 500 for anticipated increase in health insurance.
$ 8,610 Total Increase

The Expense Fund levy rate will be decreasing from .18729
to .16688, a decrease of 12% to cover the 8% decrease in
the amount raised by taxation.
I am also levying more funds in the Special Appraisers Fund
to cover the projected FY '94 mapping costs. I am also
starting a fund for replacement of the city car which will
be seven years old in July 1993.
The mapping project officially commenced on January 19,
1993. No more money has been expended since my November
17, 1992 report to you. A copy of that financial report
is also enclosed.
The new construction that will be taxed for the first time
in FY '94 will produce approximately $7,890 for the city
Assessor Assessment Expense Fund which is more than the
wage increase requested, and approximately $2,760 for the
Special Appraisers Fund which is nearly the amount proposed
for the automobile replacement fund.
If you have any specific questions or wish to look at any of
the supporting documents for this budget, feel free to call
me at work at 356-6066 or at my home at 338-6176.
sincerely,
~;(~

construction, and 2.0 million dollars of new industrial
construction added to the rolls for 1992.
The 627 residential deed sales for the first 11 months of
1992 give us a median ratio (assessed value vs sales price)
of 85.1% as compared to 90.4% for the whole year of 1991.
This shows that the selling prices of homes have increased
substantially since last year. This followed the trend
started last year and will result in significant increases
in the 1993 assessments.
\
It should be kept in mind that when a jurisdiction is at
the State mandated sales ratio level of 100%, a full one-
half of home sales will be for less than the assessed
value. Sales for less than the assessed value generally
result in appeals to the Board of Review.
COURT CASES
There were six properties appealed to District Court in
1992. The six appeals are made up of one residential
property and five commercial properties represented by four
owners. Of the eight 1991 cases that were carried over into
1992, two have been dropped, three have been settled, and
three are awaiting trial.

BOARD OF REVIEW
The Board of Review was in session from May 1 through May
22, the day of adjournment. The Board had 15 protests
filed with 2 being upheld and 13 denied. The total value
of real estate being protested was $14,799,660 with a total
requested reduction of $4,408,950. The Board also reduced
5 additional properties on their own volition or at the
request of the assessor. The Board allowed a total reduction
of $876,300.
EOUITY VERSUS MARKET IN ASSESSMENTS
It is hard to be both equitable and in tune with the market.
The market is not always equitable, sometimes a long way
from it. Most assessors would lean towards equity if they
could choose between the two.
NEW LEGISLATION
\
HF 2443 - Changes method of State payment of late signed
homestead tax credit, and changes deadline for
signing certain exemptions, along with other minor
changes in existing laws.
HF 2484 - Adds speculative shell buildings constructed by
for-profit entities to the exemption allowed for
buildings constructed by community development
organizations.
HF 2486 - Reduces the amount paid to local jurisdictions for
the homestead tax credit.
SF 2345 - Allows the Department of Revenue & Finance to
create a litigation defense fund for centrally
assessed property assessments. The money to come
from the homestead tax credit, agricultural credit
and personal property tax replacement funds,
thereby reducing funds to be reimbursed to local
jurisdictions.

CONTINUING EDUCATION
continuing education is a requiremelat for the assessor and
deputies for their reappointment to their positions. I feel
it is also good for the other employees to attend some classes
so they can adequately respond to inquiries and questions.
The Assessor attended the following courses and conferences
during 1992:
ISAA Annual School of Instruction
10 C.E. hrs.
The First Deputy attended the following courses and conferences
during 1992:
IAAO Conference
ISAA Annual School of Instruction

The Second Deputy attended the following courses and
conferences during 1992:

APPRECIATION

confidence during the past year. I would also like to
recognize and thank my staff at this time for their part in

PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS:
The median sales ratio (median) is the middle sales ratio and
a measure of the % of our assessment to the actual sales
prices. The coefficient of dispersion (C.O.D.) is a measure
of assessment uniformity based on the degree to which individual
sales ratios vary from the median sales ratio.
The goal of the Iowa City Assessor is to keep this C.O.D. below
10. A C.O.D. of 10 is considered excellent and was attained
in 1991 by only 4 of the 111 assessing jurisdictions in Iowa.
The following table shows the median, C.O.D., and the number of
deed sales for Iowa City residential property since the assess-
ments went to the 100% level in 1975.

MEDIAN RATIO STUDY
This graph best illustrates the changing market we have
experienced in Iowa city. The median ratio for each quarter
is found by calculating the assessed value to selling price
ratio for each sale, sorting those ratios in ascending order,
and identifying the middle ratio. There has been a definite
trend downward in the quarterly ratios since 1985, with a
large drop beginning in late 1989. This downward trend would
have been much worse if not for the increase in residential
assessed value in 1989 and 1991 which averaged over 5% in
1989 and nearly 10% in 1991. Since our assessed values have
not declined in the time period, the trend is measuring the
increase in selling prices of properties.
The Iowa Department of Revenue requires that the assessed
values be adjusted January 1, 1993, to within 5% of full
value. The chart indicates the need for changing values
dramatically this next year. since this is an equalization
year, if we failed to change values accordingly, we would be
subject to a raise through State equalization orders.

Below are tables of the ranking of Iowa City in comparison
to the other 110 assessing jurisdictions in Iowa. For
brevity, only the top 10 or 15 are shown. Data is for 1991
sales which is the last complete year available.
The first table is sorted by median, from the lowest to the
highest and shows that Iowa City has one of the lower median
sales ratios for 1991. This is caused in Iowa City by the
inflation of home selling prices and will result in a
substantial increase in residential values for 1993.
These tables show that Iowa city is still one of only a few
jurisdictions in Iowa with a C.O.D. of less than 10. The
average sale price of. a home in Iowa City is among the
highest in Iowa, topped in 1991 only by the suburbs of Des
Moines in Polk County. Iowa city also has a large number of
sales as could be expected by it's size and mobile population.

The regression index is an indicator of the degree to which
high value properties are over or under assessed in
relationship to low value properties. An index of 100.00
indicates no difference in assessments of high value
properties in comparison to low value properties based upon
that years sales. An index over 100 indicates that high
value properties are under assessed in relation to low value
properties. As you can see in the following table, Iowa
city's regression index is one of the closest to the ideal
100.00 level.

Because of the small number of sales, one or two bad sales
can greatly influence the performance measurements, therefore
creating more fluctuation in the measurements.
DIVISION ANALYSIS:
While the program division statement is on the fiscal year,
the remainder of the annual report is based on the assessment
year which is the calendar year. The annual report has more
meaning when based on the assessment year, since the state
equalization orders come in a different fiscal year than the
biennial reappraisal which the orders are to equalize.

If adopted unchanged, the budget
would require the owner of a home

about $296 for county services, up

$283, up $4, and a rural homeowner
would pay $480, up $7,70.

Dear Conference Board Member:
The annual meeting of the Iowa City Conference Board for the
consideration of the Iowa ~ity Assessor's FY 1994 budget is
scheduled for Monday, February 1, 1993 at 6:30 P.M. at the
Iowa city Civic Center. Enclosed, so you may review the
information before the meeting, are:
1. The Agenda.
2. The Proposed Budget.
3. The 1992 Annual Report which includes
the program division statement.
4. A copy of March 2 and March 31, 1992 minutes.
5. Joint mapping expenditures to date.
Please note that the amount to be raised by taxation for the
Assessment Expense Fund has decreased over last year's amount.
The decrease consists of:
a. $ 6,500 for the biennial assessment rolls and postage.
b. $15,894 increase in the unencumbered balance.
$22,394 Total Decrease
This decrease is offset by the following increases:
c. $ 7,100 for a 4% increase in salaries.
d. $ 1,010 increase in FICA and IPERS.
e. $ 500 for anticipated increase in health insurance.
$ 8,610 Total Increase
$13,784 Net Decrease

The Expense Fund levy rate will be decreasing from .18729
to .17138, a decrease of 9% to cover the 8% decrease in
the amount raised by taxation.
I am also levying more funds in the Special Appraisers Fund
to cover the projected FY '94 mapping costs. I am also
starting a fund for replacement of the city car which will
be seven years old in July 1993.
The mapping project officially commenced on January 19,
1993. No more money has been expended since my November
17, 1992 report to you. A copy of that financial report
is also enclosed.
\
The new construction that will be taxed for the first time
in FY '94 will produce approximately $8,100 for the city
Assessor Assessment Expense Fund which is more th&n the
wage increase requested, and approximately $2,760 for the
Special Appraisers Fund which is nearly the amount proposed
for the automobile replacement fund.
If you have any specific questions or wish to look at any of
the supporting documents for this budget, feel free to call
me at work at 356-6066 or at my home at 338-6176.
Sincerely,
&~ i ;Jclk/~
