Emery Rhodes, Mayor
City of University Heights

University Heights, IA 52246
Dear Emery:
In your recent letter you ask for the participation by University Heights representatives in the
upcoming environmental assessment for the proposed Melrose Avenue bridge reconstruction.
As you are aware, the environmental assessment process is at the discretion of the Iowa
Department of Transportation and we have' been so informed that they are assuming full
authority in this project, which will include the environmental assessment. It is difficult for
me to predict the involvement of any other party at this time. Your attorney, I am assuming
at your request also, has contacted various agencies concerning the participation by University
Heights. We received a copy of his letter. We will await to hear from the state officials to
determine the extent of the assessment requirement and, additionally, what other
requirements they may impose in this project review. It appears that the Iowa Department
of Transportation is literally being bombarded from all angles concerning this project review.
I expect It will be some time before they officially respond in that they will likely need to
satisfy numerous community elements wishing participation in this review.
I Sincerely, I

RE: FHWA Experimental School Crossing Signs Test Program
Dear Dr. Grohe:
The City Council has asked that I share with you information about the City's efforts!o participate
in an experimental school crossing sign project. The Federal Highway Administration working with
the Iowa Department of Transportation is seeking tests sights for a new school crossing sign. The
sign to be tested will be a fluorescent yellow green colored background In lieu of the current
yellow background. The new fluorescent yellow green produces a much higher level of reflected
jlght which makes the sign much more visible particularly during low level lighting situations such
as dusk and/or dawn.
The City has applied for participation In the project with six test crossings. These crossings are:
· Governor Street at Church Street
· Dodge Street at Church Street
· Sycamore Street at California Ave.
· Benton Street between Denbigh Street and Sunset St.
· Benton Street at Greenwood Drive
· Benton Street between Miller Ave. and Hudson Ave.
The City will be required to perform evaluations of the effect of these test sites. In part the
opinions of parents and educators will be used in this evaluation process. At the appropriate time
the City would appreciate the assistance of your office in distributing questionnaires.
If you should have questions or require information regarding this project prior to the test sign
installation, please don't hesitate to contact me at 356.5191.
Sincerely yours,
Jp-

MEMORANDUM
Date: April 29, 1993
To: Mayor and City Council
From: City Clerk
Re: Council Work Session-CIP, April 20, 1993 - 5:45 p,m. in the Council
Chambers
Mayor Darrel Courtney presiding. Council members: Courtney, McDonald, Kubby, Horowitz,
Novick, Ambrisco. Staff present: Atkins, Helling, Karr, Franklin, Yucuis, Schmadeke, Fosse,
Davidson, Trueblood, Schoon, Klingaman. Tape recorded on Tapes 93-35, Side 2; 93-39, All;

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS DISCUSSION:
Reel 93-35, Side 2
I
City Manager Atkins stated that he hoped that staff end Council would review his April 14,
1993 memorandum regarding Capital Improvement program, hold a detailed discussion about
the finances and resources available, discuss the projects as listed, and go through an actual
process of setting priorities. Atkins stated the CIP process includes two elements: the
technical/financial aspect and political aspect. Atkins noted that his April 14, 1993
memorandum regarding Capital Improvement program inclUdes a summary, "Financial
Resources Capital Improvement Program 1993-2000" and information about the major
sources of money that would be available to finance the projects. Atkins stated that Public
Works Director Chuck Schmadeke, PCD Director Karin Franklin, City Engineer Rick Fosse, and
Transportation Planner Jeff Davidson are present to present information regarding the CIP.
Atkins said that projects are broken into categories and that it is important in those categories
to have similar values applied to similar projects. Atkins stated there is alsb a criteria for
review included in the memorandum.
FINANCES. Atkins stated that the CIP list includes $225 million in requests, Atkins stated
that the financial options available are subject to statutory and charter regulations, Atkins
stated that the time frame established for the CIP process is a seven year period of time,
1993-2000. Atkins stated staff made a general assumption that the financial policies outlined
in the memorandum are acceptable to Council and if that is the case, there is approximately
$112,000 available resources that could be utilized right now. Atkins stated the unknowns
in finanCing the CIP are what is going to survive Council policy scrutiny, the ability to carry
these projects from Council to Council, and financing implications for the future. Atkins
reviewed the list of financial resources as follows.
General Fund. Atkins stated that a general assumption is that little general funds monies will
be put toward capital projects. Atkins cautioned Council about using general fund money for
major capital projects. Atkins stated that as a matter of policy, general fund is intended to
support the City's operating program and services and that the general fund should be used
for capital projects only when it is abSOlutely necessary,

GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT. Atkins stated that $12.5 million of general obligation debt is
projected to be available over the next seven year period. Atkins stated that it is assumed
that property values will grow at a rate of three percent a year and the tax rate that is used
for debt service would remain constant over the seven year period. Atkins stated that if that
rate remains constant the proportion of taxes that are assigned for debt will diminish over the
seven year period. Atkins noted that there is a 25% policy that says no more than 25% of
tax revenues will be used for debt service. In response to Horowitz, Atkins stated that many
projects would require a referendum. Council members discussed the City's AAA bond rating.
Atkins stated the bond rating is important. Courtney noted that interest rates in today's
market between AA and AAA bonds are very, very small.
Atkins stated the issue of landfill fees, parking fees, water and wastewater fees make the
assumption that the projects that are clearly identified as being appropriate are to be funded
by these fees, Atkins explained that fees are charged commensurate with the capital that is
to be secured in the form of debt service on those fees. Kubby raised concerns about the
140% increase in water rates as it applies to liveability on a monthly basis. Kubby stated
other options should be discussed.
Atkins stated the City has not formally adopted a storm water fee policy; currently storm water
management is paid for by general revenues and general obligation debt; and it is believed that
stormwater menagement and its cost to the community is going to grow substantially because
of federal regulations. Atkins stated that he is making the assumption that Council will
address an ordinance and/or policy that adopt some type of storm water management fee to
generate monies to pay for these projects. Atkins stated that under current law, a storm water
utility district could be established utilizing some sort of formula by which the City can charge
people for storm water management. Atkins explained that the City will need to consider a
stormwater management fee to finance stormwater management projects required by federal
and state regulations. City Engineer Fosse explained that an inventory will be needed and
would consist of an aerial mapping of the City to identify watersheds and existing storm
sewers. Horowitz asked if the stormwater management inventory process could utilize the
City/County mapping project. Fosse stated that that aerial photography was flown at three
different elevations over the city and the 50-scale and/or 1 DO-scale maps will be useable
provided there haven't been significant changes in those areas. Atkins noted that Fosse has
been in contact with the city of Coralville regarding participation in this project, Novick
inquired about the billing for a storm water management fee. Atkins stated that a form of a
utility billing would be considered,
PARKLAND ACQUISITION FUND.
FEDERAL/STATE GRANTS. Atkins stated that this is very much an unknown and very much
a question of timing. Atkins noted that the policy remains that the City make the most of
whatever state and federal aids are available. In response to Horowitz, Davidson stated that
there is flexibility with the use of ISTEA money, Horowitz asked when is the Iowa-Illinois Gas
& Electric Company franchise up for renewal. Atkins stated that franchise agreement was
adopted in 1986 and is up for renewal in the year 2001.
SUMMARY OF CAPITAL PROJECTS:
WATER. Atkins explained that surface water (Iowa Riverl is likely to be the City's source of
water in the future. Atkins explained that two specific areas in the rules and regulations that
are of concern are the turbidity and the chlorine. Atkins stated that the City of Iowa City will
be scrutinized very closely by the DNR and EPA because Iowa City is one of the largest

surface water users in Iowa. Atkins explained that turbidity is a matter of clarity and the City
cannot consistently meet the new limits. Atkins also noted that the City is concerned about
its ability to meet the new chlorine regulations. Atkins explained because the City will be
unable to consistently meet the new limits, the City will have to put out notice to the public.
Atkins stated other issues associated with the water project are the continued use of surface
water, the extent of the use of well water, the location of the well system inside or outside
the City, plant location, and the need to put out a public concern notification, Atkins noted
the City is entertaining discussions with the University of Iowa about the possible purchase
of water to do some blending. Atkins stated the water project is estimated to cost $44
million. Atkins noted that policy is to pay for this project through the use of user fees which
means water revenue bonds, In response to Kubby, Public Works Director Schmadeke
explained the University of Iowa uses river water and a Jordan well. Schmadeke stated the
University has a reserve capacity far greater than the City's. Novick asked how compliance
with new regulations is monitored. Schmadeke stated the City checks itself and provides a
notification if it is in violation, Courtney asked how many gallons the City pumps currently.
Schmadeke stated that the City pumps an average of 7 to 7 * million gallons per day and 10
to 10* million gallons per day in the summer. Kubby inquired about the decrease in capacity
with the new regulations, ,Schmadeke explained that the chlorine contact time for water
production. Schmadeke stated that is why the City wants to purchase two million gallons
from the University. In response to Kubby, Schmadeke explained that the City has been
trying to operate under the new standards and improve turbidity. Schmadeke noted there will
be periods where the City is going to be in violation, Schmadeke noted that if the City can
purchase two million a day from the University, the City could Improve its production level to
the point that the City could meet the regulations. Kubby raised concerns about the lack of
water conservation and education program, Novick stated that the City should go beyond
education and offer water saving waterheads, air raiders, etc. at cost or less, Kubby asked
if the City has met with the University yet about obtaining the two million gallons per day,
Schmadeke stated yes,
Atkins explained that if the City plans to move the treatment plant north of 1-80 the City will
need to build a sewer line from the treatment plant down to the existing sanitary sewer
because of the water's sludge. Atkins noted that once a sewer line is built there is a potential
for growth and development in that area. Ambrisco inquired about the timeframe for the
water project. Atkins stated that the City will have to initiate a program within a year,
Schmadeke stated staff is looking at beginning construction of the water project at the end
of 1994 and finishing the project by the end if 1996. Horowitz asked who owns the property
at the City's current weter plant. Schmadeke stated the City owns the property. Atkins
stated that there is a lot of interest by the University regarding that property, McDonald
asked Schmadeke if the City is going to use surface water to meet its future water needs,
Schmadeke stated the City is going to have to use a substantial amount of surface water,
Schmadeke stated there is not a good groundwater supply in the county. Horowitz asked if
the Coralville Reservoir is being considered. Schmadeke stated that staff is looking at the
Coralville Reservoir as a water source. Schmadeke explained that the City is looking at three
water sources: the river, the Jordan aquifer and the silurian aquifer,
AIRPORT, Atkins explained the airport and its master plan is still under review, Atkins stated
that he is unsure of what the cost will be for the project. Atkins stated that staff is using the
assumption that no decision has been made on the options. Atkins explained that costs
associated with the airport project will be split 90% federal/1 0% local. Atkins stated that if
Council chooses to use debt to finance the City's share of the airport project, money will have
to be reserved from the $12,5 total. Atkins explained that if the airport is moved to a new

site, it would require a referendum for borrowing, Atkins noted that if the airport is moved
to a new site, a major sewer line will be needed at the current airport property site,
LANDFILL. Atkins stated City staff considers this project a mandate, Atkins stated that the
assumption is being made that the tipping fees will be used to continue to finance the iandfill.
Horowitz asked if there is a way of going to get together with Cedar Rapids on financing a
transfer station to connect a compostible facility. Atkins stated yes. Atkins explained a
transfer station would depend upon who was going to carry the burden on capital financing
for the composting process.
Kubby asked Schmadeke for information regarding communities using a tipping fee based on
volume instead of weight. Schmadeke stated some cities have a volume limit and pay for
each garbage can for an additional fee. Kubby inquired about volume-based tipping fees.
Atkins noted that landfills are space, Schmadeke noted that currently the City charges by ton
and the City is taxed on a per-ton basis by the state as well. Kubby stated it is her ideal to
have cost per space charged.
WASTEWATER. Schmadeke explained that there is ammonia and the City has to get rid of
it. Schmadeke explained the City can treat ammonia either mechanically or with chlorine.
Schmadeke said that the chlorine treatment process is dangerous for its employees and
storage. Novick inquired about removing ammonia in wetlands, Schmadeke stated that using
wetlands to remove ammonia is not recommended because it is not economical and there are
questions about reliability because of climatic changes. Kubby noted that she will try to
obtain additional information regarding the use of wetlands to remove ammonia. Schmadeke
stated that a mechanical process will treat BOD and suspendible solids as well as treat
ammonia. Horowitz asked if wetlands and a mechanical process could both be used,
Schmadeke explained that if you build a connecting sewer and used wetlands, the sewer
between the two plants would only transport finished water from the north plant, which
would not have the ammonia removed. You would still have to use all the treatment
processes at the north plant for BOD and suspended solids. Schmadeke recommended money
be used to build a treatment process and to begin phasing out the north plant. Courtney
inquired about the north plant. Schmadeke stated that the old section could be phased out
and the new section used for storm water flows that get into the sanitary sewer system.
Kubby asked for an explanation about the relationship between increased capacity and
ammonia treatment. Schmadeke explained that the process to remove ammonia is the same
process used to remove BOD and suspended solids and the City would have to double the
capacity of its existing system to remove ammonia, In response to Novick, Schmadeke stated
currently there are no plans to add employees.
Schmadeke stated the staff is also recommending connecting the two plants together at the
time it treats ammonia and to begin to phase out the use of the north plant, Schmadeke
explained the location of the north plant is not ideal because of restricted space and odor
problems. Schmadeke presented information about the chlorine treatment process.
Schmadeke noted that initially the City would load up the south plant with its maximum
capacity so it could store the greatest amount of chlorine at that plant, In response to
Horowitz, Schmadeke stated that if state law holds the City has ten year reprieve and has
until November 1999 to have the facilities built. If EPA overrides the state, the City would
have three years to complete the project. Courtney asked if the connection was made
between the north and south plants does the City have to add capacity to the south
immediately. Schmadeke stated that is right. Schmadeke explained that the City can relieve
the north plant by just making the connection given that it treats ammonia with chlorine.

Kubby inquired about water and wastewater treatment rates. Atkins stated the City is now
approaching a high average compared to other cities in Iowa. Atkins explained staff looked
at water, sewer and current refuse rates, An average monthly bill was $35. Atkins explained
that the projects proposed would cause a $35 average bill to increase to $57,
SOUTHWEST INTERCEPTOR. Schmadeke explained project costs for the southwest
interceptor is approximately $7.5 million. Schmadeke presented a map detailing the location
of the southwest interceptor sewer. In response to Council members, Schmadeke explained
that at some point in time a southwest interceptor sewer will be needed for the west side
drainage area to completely develop. Schmadeke presented information about the southwest
interceptor sewer as it relates to the Walnut Ridge Subdivision, Hawkeye Lift Station, and
Camp Cardinal Road.
PENINSULA SEWER AND LIFT STATION. Schmadeke explained that the gravity sewer is
proposed to be tied Into the sewer at Taft Speedway. Schmadeke stated that this project is
needed to provide for development of the peninsula area and will be needed if the City builds
a water treatment plant adjacent to the river north of 1-80. Schmadeke referred Council
members to a map. Councllmembers discussed the locations for a new water plant. Novick
asked if the City would have to have ownership or easement rights in terms of getting water
from the river to the water plant. Schmadeke stated that the City would need easement
rights,
NORTH RIVER CORRIDOR SEWER. Schmadeke noted the project costs are estimated
$425,000,
I
Franklin presented information about the peninsula area. Franklin noted that two road
projects, Foster Road and Taft reconstruction, spin off of the sewer extension. Franklin noted
that property owners on the peninsula, including the Elks Club, are interested in development
in the area. Kubby asked why a separate sewer line is needed for the peninsula and Idyllwild
area, Schmadeke stated there are basically two different drainage areas. Horowitz asked if
both the north river corridor sewer and Highlander area sewer would be needed, Schmadeke
noted that if the river location isn't the first choice then the peninsula sewer would not have
to be built. Novick asked how far north is being considered for the water treatment plant.
Schmadeke stated that a plant needs to be located in an area along the river where, under
normal low flow the water depth in the river is sufficient that the City can draw a continuous
flow into the plant. Schmadeke stated the consultants are to come back to the City with two
locations along the river between I-SO and the reservoir that would be ideal sites to draw
water from the river, Franklin noted that placement of the plant will have impact on
development in the area. Franklin noted that when Schmadeke answered Horowitz's
questions regarding substituting the north corridor for the peninsula, that that was in
relationship to its serving the water treatment plant. Franklin stated the peninsula sewer can
serve two functions, one is for growth on the peninsula and one is access to the water
treatment plant if the water treatment plant is west. Franklin stated that if the water
treatment plant were not built there Council could make decision not to extend the peninsula
trunk because Council did not want to encourage development on the peninsula and you did
not need it for the water treatment plant.
NORTHWEST TRUNK SEWER, Schmadeke explained this is extension to serve the north half
of Walnut Ridge Subdivision, In response to Kubby, Schmadeke stated that the northwest
trunk sewer was not installed at the time the pipe was extended to the edge of the property
because, at that time, staff did not feel Walnut Ridge was going to develop as fast as it has.

ABER A VENUE SEWER, Schmadeke explained this is the sewer line that lies south of Rohret
Road extending from the existing southwest trunk west across Mormon Trek and Highway
218 to serve the area immediately south of the new school site along the south side of Rohret
Road. Franklin stated this would allow development in a drainage area that is within the
growth policies but currently outside the corporate limits. Schmadeke stated it is in the
southwest water shed area and includes 600 undeveloped acres.
HIGHLANDER AREA SEWER AND LIFT STATION. Schmadeke stated this project assumes
development along Scott Boulevard north of the ridge line where the east-west arterial would
be located, Council members and staff referred to a map. In response to Kubby, Schmadeke
noted that the river corridor sewer that was built in 1980 has the capacity to serve the
undeveloped areas within the City plus 750 acres north of the Interstate. Novick asked if the
City has ever contracted to sell water or sewer to areas outside the corporate limits.
Schmadeke stated no, it is the City's current policy to not provide service outside the City
limits.
IDYLLWILD AREA SEWER PROJECT. Schmadeke referred to an area map,
SCOTT PARK AREA TRUNK SEWER. Schmadeke referred to an area map, Schmadeke stated
this serves a drainage area including 300 acres east of Scott Boulevard north of Court Street.
Horowitz asked how much the developer would pay and how much the City's share would
be in terms of the Glasgow property, Schmadeke stated that the project does not include
Bruce Glasgow's property. Schmadeke noted the care center would also tie into the sewer.
I
WEST SIDE TRUNK SEWER PROJECT. Schmadeke explained this is a ten inch sewer line that
currently extends west of Mormon Trek and serves the property north of Rohret Road. In
response to Horowitz, Schmadeke stated it would be going to the school and the Kennedy
property. Kubby asked if Council decided not to do the west side trunk sewer project where
would the school sewage go. Schmadeke stated the school waste would still go down
through the same sewer. Franklin noted that there are two final plats that are pending
Council's decision on the west side trunk. Franklin noted that with the west side sewers and
development in the area there will be a need for the southwest interceptor to be put in.
Horowitz asked if there was a logical sequence of staff's point of view. Schmadeke stated
that if you wanted to accommodate development that will occur because of the school then
the west side should be done. Council members and staff discussed development. Franklin
stated that as Council moves into deCiding priorities a sequencing of the projects will fall into
place, Franklin explained that the phasing in growth and development in terms of the list of
CIP projects the City will do in the next seven years will also fall into place, Franklin stated
that in a certain sense by prioritizing the CIP Council is setting up for a new Comp plan.
STREET RECONSTRUCTION:
Council member Kubby requested that a map be available, Atkins stated that a map locating
the street projects can be placed in the Public Works Conference Room, Atkins noted there
are four categories of streets: new, existing improved, unimproved and bridges,
STREET RECONSTRUCTION (EXISTING IMPROVED).
NDRTH DUBUQUE STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT, Fosse explained that North
Dubuque Street is experiencing flOOding and when the Iowa River is high it reduces the
capacity of the City's storm sewers in the area.

BENTON STREET-GREENWOOD DRIVE TO ORCHARD. Davidson explained that staff
identified areas of concerns including capacity constraint. Kubby noted that the summary on
the Benton Street project does not stated what the improvements would be.
SYCAMORE STREET-HIGHWAY 6 TO DEFOREST, Fosse stated that this is a capacity related
item, Kubby asked why this project does not go down to Lower Muscatine. Davidson stated
that staff would probably look down to Lower Muscatine. Novick inquired about parking on
the street. Fosse stated that parking is allowed north of DeForest. Davidson stated that any
time you do something for capacity it helps.
DODGE STREET,GOVERNOR TO NORTH DUBUQUE ROAD. Fosse explained this is very much
a capacity related issue and there is pressure from the DOT. Fosse noted that the intersection
of Prairie du Chien and Dodge Street is now causing problems and it would be difficult to
signalize it without widening it. Horowitz stated that Horace Mann Elementary School has
raised concerns regarding traffic and speed. Horowitz asked if it is possible to inhibit traffic
coming down through Dodge Street via the east-west arterial and Scott Boulevard extension.
Davidson reminded Council that in Iowa City, people are coming downtown or to the
University Hospital and even if you get around the north end of town, at some point people
are going to want to get to town. Davidson emphasized that most trips in Iowa City are still
made from out-to-in in the morning and from in-to-out in the evening.
I
HIGHWAY 6-LAKESIDE DRIVE TO SCOTT BOULEVARD. Fosse explained that this is an
extension of the existing divided four-lane concept of Highway 6 Bypass, Fosse stated its
benefits would be providing turning lanes into the City's industrial park and on Scott
Boulevard and possibly to developments to the south, Fosse stated there is potential for state
participation on these improvements, Courtney asked if right-of-way is available. Fosse
stated preliminary draWings show that the City will need a little of additional right-of-way.
Horowitz asked how many of the street projects could possibly involve federal funds.
Davidson stated almost all of them. Horowitz asked how many of them would also need
environmental assessment or environmental impacts, Davidson stated that is something to
be evaluated on a project-by-project basis.
FIRST A VENUE-D STREET TO BRADFORD. Davidson stated this is on the arterial street plan
and is tied to the Council's ultimate decision regarding extending First Avenue.
MUSCA TINE A VENUe-BURLINGTDN TO COURT. Fosse stated that plans are to maintain a
three-lane facility but getting adequate lane width.
MELROSE A VENUE-BYINGTON TO HAWKINS, Fosse stated that this item has been discussed
previously.
GILBERT STREET-HIGHWAY 6 DUAL LEFT TURN LANES, Fosse emphasized this is a very
badly needed project. Fosse noted there are right-of-way constraints on the north side. Fosse
explained that a great opportunity to construct this project would be during the connector
sewer project between the two plants,
BURLINGTON AND GILBERT STREET INTERSECTION. Fosse explained that USTEP funds are
available. Fosse explained this project will add a left turn lane to the three legs of the
intersection that does not currently have it. Fosse stated another component of the project
is the Ralston Creek bridge on Burlington Street. Courtney raised concerns about the
condition of Burlington Street. Fosse stated that the DOT has told the City if they wait a year
they will help pay for the Burlington Street bridge, McDonald inquired about past work done

on the Burlington Street bridge over Ralston Creek. Fosse said previously the City applied an
epoxy chip seal on it to try to slow down the rate of chlorides getting into the deck steel.
Fosse stated there are two problems: the deck is corroding and the chip seal isn't sticking,
RIVER STREET-RIVERSIDE TO WOLF. Fosse stated the existing pavement is deteriorating.
WOLF AVENUE-NEWTON TO RIVER. Horowitz asked if the dangerous corner at the Wolf and
River streets intersection could be eliminated. Staff referred to a map,
TRAFFIC SIGNAlIZATION/ASPHAL T RESURFACING. Fosse explained this money is used for
periodic traffic signal improvement and overlay.
STREET RECONSTRUCTION (FORMERLY UNIMPROVED).
MELROSE AVENUE-WEST HIGH TO HIGHWAY 218. Fosse stated this project connects the
two divided four-lane segments with similar type arrangement. Courtney noted that Council
recently received a petition for this project. Fosse stated the project also adds sidewalks to
the area. Horowitz raised concerns about the statement that the construction of the Camp
Cardinal Road from Melrose to Highway 6 would significantly impact this portion of Melrose
Avenue. Davidson stated that this project does not relate to a capacity problem but that it
is a safety-related one without sidewalks. Davidson stated that with the Camp Cardinal Road
extended into Coralville it would then become a capacity problem. Novick asked if Camp
Cardinal Road is extended that it doesn't necessarily have to go to Coralville. Fosse explained
that the south end of Camp Cardinal Road currently ties into Melrose Avenue.
SYCAMORE STREET-BURNS TO SOUTH CITY LIMIT. Fosse stated this project is similar to
Rohret Road and asked Council how much development do they want to occur before
improvements are done to the street.
TAFT SPEEDWAY-NORTH DUBUQUE TO CAlIBRIA. Fosse stated that this is now called No
Name Street.
FOSTER ROAD.WEST OF DUBUQUE. Fosse noted this is tied to the sewer project. Fosse
stated that if sewers are put in and development occurs there will be plenty of pressure to
develop the street.
SLOTHOWER ROAD. Horowitz asked if it is a viable connection for Melrose to Rohret.
Davidson stated it is for secondary access. In response to Horowitz, Franklin stated that there
was discussions about extending it to the south and having it intersect with Rohret Road but
offsetting it from the county road to the south so people wouldn't use it as a cut-through to
Highway 1. Franklin stated that there are discussions about Phoenix coming up and
intersecting Slothower Road but it would be made into aT-intersection.
ROHRET ROAD PROJECT. Fosse stated that no further explanation is needed. Kubby asked
how binding was the resolution regarding the date. Atkins stated that from experience at the
time Council expressed its policy intent, legally and practically. Atkins stated that reasons for
which a resolution is passed may change and that Council could undo the resolution. Atkins
stated that if Council would choose to undo the resolution and in effect begin the process of
improving Rohret Road by way of assessment, that Council would have people saying that
they did not understand that to be the decision of Council at that time. Atkins stated that by
resolution, legally, Council did not preclude itself from taking away special assessments.

NEW STREETS.
SOUTHGATE A VENUE. Davidson noted that this is an extension of Southgate over to Gilbert
Street.
EAST-WEST ARTERIAL, SCOTT BOULEVARD EXTENDED, FIRST AVENUE EXTENDED.
Davidson stated Council is aware of the issues related to growth occurring in this quadrant
of the town and it is tied to some of the sewer issue decisions that Council will be making.
In response to Kubby, Davidson stated that staff has proposed two lane extensions with right-
of-way to possibly go wider in the future, McDonald asked if Council decided to extend Scott
and not do the east-west extension or First Avenue extension, can the cost for the
subsequent development be borne by the developer as development occurs. Davidson stated
a portion of them could. Franklin commented about paying for arterial streets. Franklin stated
that when streets are put in ahead of development for some community reason the City pays
for them. Otherwise, they are paid for as development occurs and the developer pays for the
local size and the City pays for oversize. Franklin stated that a third way to pay for the
streets is through an annexation whereby the developer pays for full amount of the costs
because development is out-of-sequence. Kubby asked as zoning changes occur can the
conditional zoning agreement be used. Franklin stated costs could be negotiated through the
conditional zoning as long as it is fair, equitable and consistent.
Staff and Council discussed traffic patterns and the need for two or four lanes on First
Avenue, Scott Boulevard extended and First Avenue extended.
COLLECTOR STREET-HICKORY TRAIL TO ROCHESTER. Davidson stated this relates to a
secondary access question and would involve involuntary acquisition of property. Davidson
stated that there is also a wetland issue in that area.
I
FOSTER ROAD-DUBUQUE STREET TO PRAIRIE DU CHIEN. Davidson stated this is related to
encouraging or discouraging development in the area. Atkins asked if the purchase of ground
by a group of folks in that area affect this project. Davidson stated that that area that was
purchased would be to the south of this alignment. Franklin explained that the alignment runs
along the drainageway there and there are fingers of land that come in from the north.
Franklin stated the development to the south of Foster Road would be restricted somewhat
by the purchase.
CAMP CARDINAL ROAD EXTENDED. Davidson stated that staff has had extensive discussion
on this project. Davidson noted that it would be an arterial street for west Iowa City and go
between Highway 6 and Melrose Avenue,
COURT STREET EXTENDED TO TAFT, Davidson stated that this would be in conjunction with
the Windsor Ridge annexation area. Kubby stated that where there are street projects that
involve sensitive lands it is important for Council to think in terms of priorities and protection
and the implementation of some kind of sensitive protection for those sensitive areas.
BRIDGES:
PEDESTRIAN OVERPASS. Kubby inquired about the cost estimates for the pedestrian
overpass project. Fosse stated that the cost includes the addition of a sidewalk along the
south side of the property, the stairs and the house.

Fosse stated that the bridge projects, with the exception of the pedestrian bridge overpass,
are all reconstructions of existing bridges,
Davidson explained that the planning study was done for the pedestrian overpass and staff's
position is reflective of the direction Council gave staff. Devidson stated under consideration
is the creation of a good situation of traffic flow on Highway 6 in order to keep the edjacent
neighborhoods clear of traffic to the degree that is possible. Staff and Council discussed
traffic flow. Kubby asked if there was a way to increase the walk cycle across Highway 6
without causing major disruption to traffic flow. Davidson explained that whenever
discussions are held with Traffic Engineer Jim Brachtel he always relates it to a piece of pie
with sections carved out of it - if you add to the north-south you have to take it away from
the east-west. Davidson responded to Kubby by saying that it is certainly possible to add
more time to the north-south pedestrian movements by restricting the east-west pedestrian
movements. Novick stated that people will cross at places other than the bridge. Davidson
explained that by putting a pedestrian bypass in it does not eliminate pedestrian movements
from the street. Davidson noted that the First Avenue location for the pedestrian bypass was
selected and recommended by the Grantwood Neighborhood Association. Kubby inquired
about funding sources. Davidson noted that the City anticipates obtaining approximately $3
million of STP funds over the next four years and there is flexibility with the use of that
money. Council and staff discussed walk signal controls. Novick stated that both slowing
down traffic for walk signals and putting up a bridge is needed. Novick stated that she would
first like to try the less expensive project - putting in walk signals. Atkins stated that if
Council decides on changing the walk cycles he will contact Traffic Engineer and report back
to Council with additional information. Majority of Council directed staff to change walk cycle
times.
Atkins stated that with bridge projects Council can use financial policies to determine their
priorities by placing the projects in order as they move up the state list and become eligible.
Atkins noted that the pedestrian overpass project is a separate decision. Kubby stated that
in agreeing to doing the walk lights Council is not making a statement about the pedestrian
overpass bridge at this point. Atkins stated decisions regarding projects can be made once
priorities are set. Atkins stated that Traffic Engineer Brachtel can provide additional
information for Council regarding walk cycles.
MEETING SCHEDULED DISCUSSION:
Council agreed to schedule the next CIP discussion on Monday, May 3, at 7:00 or 7:15 p.m.

of the Iowa State Bar Association, and my term of office will begin in June 1993, This will
require a few trips to Des Moines, Iowa, for meetings with the Government Practice Council,
but I believe the time is worth the effort. Indeed, I believe it is considered a great honor to
be appointed chair of one of the Bar Association committees or councils, and the City and I
should take pride in such appointment. I will be gone for an orientation Friday, May 7,1993,
from the office, but will see you next week at our May 11, 1993, meeting, Again, I am proud
to represent the City of Iowa City, as an attorney, in pursuing professional and community
activities.

Johnson County SEATS Issues
To:
From:
Re:
We currently have two unresolved Issues between the cities of Coralville and Iowa City and
Johnson County regarding SEATS paratransit service. These Issues need to be resolved as soon
as possible so that transit service for persons with disabilities Is not disrupted. The Issues pertain
to specialized paratranslt service which Coralville and Iowa City must provide for persons who,
for reason of disability, are unable to use Coralville Transit or Iowa City Transit. This specialized
paratranslt service Is provided under contract by Johnson County SEATS.
Issue #1: FY93 Contracts. The current year contracts do not have funding adequate for the
remainder of FY93. Johnson County has requested amendments to Increase Coralville's contract
by $12,000 and Iowa City's contract by $34,000. Coralville and Iowa City feel they were assured
at the beginning of the year that amendments to these contracts would not be necessary.
Johnson County feels that since the contracts are based on a cost per ride, the shortfall is due
to Increased use by Coralville and Iowa City residents, and therefore the additional funding Is
Justified. Coralville and Iowa City feel thai currently budgeted Johnson County tax revenue Is
available to operate SEATS for the remainder of FY93. The Johnson County tax revenue Is from'
the general levy paid by all Johnson County taxpayers.
Issue #2: FY94 Contracts. Coralville and Iowa City have requested flat fee contracts for FY94
In order to eliminate the ongoing controversy regarding SEATS service. The Iowa City-Johnson
County library service contract has been offered as a model. Johnson County has not Indicated
that a flat fee contract arrangement Is acceptable.
To facilitate the resolution of these Issues, a meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, May 13,
3:30 p.m. In the SenIor Center lower level classroom. We are asking each entity Involved to
send one elected official and one staff person to the meeting who are authorized to negotiate
these Issues. JCCOG staff will conduct the meellng. Please give me a call at 356-525211 there
Is any Information you need prior to the May 13 meeting.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

MINUTES OF THE JOINT MEETING OF THE JOHNSON COUNTY BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS AND THE lOW A CITY COUNCIL:
APRIL 19, 1993
Vice-Chairperson Lacina called the meeting to order at 4:06 p.m. Board of
Supervisors members present were: Stephen Lacina, Charles Duffy, Betty Ockenfels
and Joseph Bolkcom. Absent was Patricia Meade. Iowa City Council members
present were: Darrel Courtney, Naomi Novick, William Ambrisco, Susan Horowitz,
and Karen Kubby. Absent was John McDonald.
Also present were Administrative Assistant Carol Peters, City Clerk Marian Karr,
City Attorney Linda Gentry, County Attorney Pat White, Assistant County Attorney
John Bulkley, City Manager Steve Atkins, and JCCOG Transportation Planner Jeff
Davidsen.
Lacina welcomed Mayor Courtney and the City Council to the joint meeting. He
said historically the purpose of the meeting has been for Iowa City and Johnson County
to have a meeting of goodwill and a chance to visit about issues that will later be
followed up with research and investigation.
FRINGE AREA AGREEMENT
Bolkcom explained the Fringe Area Agreement is in the process of being revised
and updated; city and county staff have been meeting over the last few months to
generate proposed amendments to the current agreement.
I
Kubby asked the extent of public participation in the meetings to date; Bolkcom
replied 2 to 3 people have attended each meeting. He noted the meetings have been
publicized but have not attracted much public attendance. He said both the City and
County will hold public hearings on the final proposals once the recommendations are
made.
Kubby asked the major areas of revision being discussed; Lacina said the staffs
have worked together very well and have found no major areas of disagreement. Duffy
said one controversial issue is the current automatic extension of the two mile fringe
area upon annexations by the City.
In response to a question from Ambrisco, Bolkcom said there is an interest by the
City to grow 10 the east and south and by the county to develop the areas 10 Ihe north
of Iowa City; the Fringe Area Study Committee is discussing how to accommodate
both the county's and city's needs.
Bolkcom said he feels with the growing interest in the county about how
development occurs, the public hearings will probably be fairly spirited opportunities
for residents to voice their opinions and the proposed amendments.

Joint Meeting Minutes: April 19, 1993/ page 2
SENIOR CENTER CONTRACT FOR CONGREGATE MEALS
Bolkcom said the county has concerns about the contract as it relates to snow days
and the closing of the Senior Center when the Iowa City Community School District
declares a snow day. He said the county would prefer that the Senior Center continue
to be open, even on snow days, and the contract may need to be revised to ensure that
Ockenfels said the Senior Center Commission and staff are currently considering
the idea of closing the kitchen at the Senior Center on snow days; Congregate Meals is
very opposed to the idea because they feel the Congregate Meals program may provide
the only good meal for some elderly persons for the entire day, especially for the
homebound.
Novick asked about the ability of persons to get to the Senior Center in bad
weather; Ockenfels said many persons come most days regardless of the weather.
Horowitz asked the rationale of promoting persons coming to the Senior Center in
inclement weather when the trip may be dangerous; it may promote civil suits.
Duffy said snow days are infrequent, but Congregate Meals and the Nutrition
Committee would like input on the decision to close. Kubby asked if this issue would
be negotiated between the Senior Center Commission and Congregate Meals when they
renew their contract; Ockenfels said it presently being discussed by staff and the Senior
Center Commission, but will eventually come before the City Council and the Board of
Supervisors. Horowitz suggested considering the issue as a joint board in an effort to
keep politics from getting involved in the decision.
Ockenfels said the funding for the program comes directly to the county from the
federal government; Lacina said the county needs to ensure their funding source is not
jeopardized by closings that are not allowed. He also suggested, investigating the
frequency of school closings in the past. Kubby said another big issue is who would be
responsible for snow removal if the Senior Center was closed but the Congregate Meals
kitchen remained open.
SEATS CONTRACT
Lacina said there are problem areas in the contract between the county and Iowa
City for SEATS service; for example, the county currently receives only $1.50
reimbursement from the Iowa City Community School District for the transportation of
handicapped children, with the City paying the remainder of the per ride charge. He
said both the city and county are subsidizing the school district for this service.
Lacina said the county will be looking for ways to make the SEATS program more
efficient; the City's implem~ntation of buses equipped to haul wheelchairs will take
some of the pressure off the contract He said the county does not currently include all

of the costs of the SEATS program when detennining the cost per ride to charge the
municipalities; for example, office space is provided at no expense to the SEATS
budget. He said some of these types of costs will be added into the SEATS budget to
provide an accurate accounting of the SEATS service.
JCCOG Transportation Director Jeff Davidsen said the immediate issue is the
funding for SEATS for the remainder of the current fiscal year; by using the charge
back arrangement currently agreed to, Coralville and Iowa City will either have to
suspend SEATS service or amend the current contracts before the end of the year. He
said the cities have requested the Board of Supervisors suspend the per-trip charge back
for the remainder of the current fiscal year but the Supervisors have not yet agreed to
that request.
Davidsen said l1COG will be undertaking research into possible reorganization of
the administration of the service next fiscal year. In response to a question from
Horowitz, Davidsen said amounts based on the anticipated number of trips in the next
fiscal year are budgeted by SEATS Director Larry Olson and adopted by the county for
each entity that participates in SEATS. He said Iowa City and Coralville, at the
request of Iowa City in the past, pay for services on a per-trip basis; on that basis,
because the ridership from Iowa City and Coralville has been more than anticipated, the
two municipalities have used up their funds in the SEATS budget. Davidsen noted the
current SEATS budget for FY '93 is adequate to operate the service for the remainder
of the year if the per-trip charge back is suspended.
I
Lacina said it is not the intent of the county to profit from the City on the contract
but legitimately, there are certain costs outside the SEATS budget that the county has
not accounted for. He said some of those items will be built into next year's budget;
while the county can cash flow the existing year, the county is subsidizing the SEATS
service in other non-related areas.
Kubby asked if the SEATS cost per ride would increase to include the expenses not
currently included in the SEATS budget; Lacina replied affll111atively. Kubby asked if
the arrangement with the school district was a verbal agreement or a contract.
Davidsen said it is through an informal agreement; otherwise the municipalities would
be responsible for those costs. In response to a question from Horowitz, Davidsen said
he believes the Iowa City Community School District is the only school district
, involved in this program. Courtney asked if this was for service primarily to and from
school, or transportation during the school day; Davidsen said it is a program during
the school day. Kubby asked if it would be possible for the school district to have a
separate agreement with Johnson County for SEATS service; Davidsen said the School
Board chooses to identify this service as a responsibility of the municipality,
Lacina said the county originally started the SEATS service as transportation for the
elderly in rural areas; it's mission has been broadened to include the disabled, which
now represents the predominant user of the service. Ockenfels said service for the

Joint Meeting Minutes: April 19, 1993/ page 4
disabled represents over 50 percent of the total ridership. Lacina said the funding
stream has certain conditions.
Ockenfels said the suggested contribution is $1.50 but rides can not be disallowed if
a person cannot pay that amount. Lacina said the cost of the ride cannot be posted in
the vans. In response to a question from Ambrisco, Lacina said the federal mandate to
provide para-transit service is tied to the cities' funding on their transit authority. He
said in order for the cities to receive transit funds, they must provide ridership for the
disabled; part of the extension of that contrnct is to ensure that SEATS service is
available during the city's regular bus hours. He explained the cities have chosen to
fulfill that requirement by contrncting with the county to provide the service.
Ambrisco said the City's only transit funding in recent years has been for the
purchase of equipment; the subsidy for the transit system ended 8 years ago. He said
the City is subsidizing their local Iowa City Transit at $1.4 million, but the City is still
under a federal mandate to provide free ridership. He cited a private transportation
service in a town in Michigan that charges $6.00 per ride; Novick cited a similar
service in a rural area near Sioux City run by a government entity that charges $5.00
per ride. Ambrisco said he views the City's requirement to provide rides as
comparable to these examples except that the City cannot charge for the rides.
Davidsen said Iowa City and Coralville are permitted to charge a fare for SEATS
service; it can be up to twice the fixed route fare of $.50. He said the federal
government disallows posting a suggested donation above that amount. Davidsen said,
according to the contrnct between Johnson County and the municipalities, the Board of
Supervisors make all the decisions regarding the suggested donation or fare; the Board
has not been willing to allow charging a fare for SEATS rides.
Kubby asked if the actual cost of the rides can be posted in the vans; Davidsen said
it is not allowed because it is considered an attempt to coerce people into paying that
amount. Novick noted the service does not have to be provided when city buses are
not running; Saturday night and Sunday SEATS service could be eliminated. Lacina
said the City will also be establishing a certification process to determine eligible
ridership under the ADA; through the guidelines used to determine eligibility, use of
SEATS services for non-essential uses could be eliminated.
Kubby noted the group of elderly and persons with disabilities overlaps quite a bit,
which can misrepresent the statistics. Courtney asked if the county has contrncts for
SEATS service with municipalities other than Iowa City and Coralville; Lacina said
other sources of contributions and funding include Solon and Lone Tree, but there are
no technical contrncts with those cities. Courtney said he is not sure those
municipalities are contributing proportionately to Iowa City and Coralville.
,Novick said part of the funding for SEATS is from the county's General Fu~d and
a portion is from Iowa City taxes; since a portion of the General Fund is paid by Iowa

Joint Meeting Minutes: April 19, 1993/ page 5
City residents, in effect, the Iowa City residents are subsidizing the service from two
sources.
Duffy quoted figures on ridership for the first three quarters of FY '93: Iowa City
- 37,308; Coralville - 7,077; Systems Unlimited - 16,328; University Heights - 785;
Goodwill - 4,197; Chatham Oaks - (,500; rural area and small towns - 6,557. In
response to a question from Kubby, Duffy said a trip is considered one way. Lacina
noted Chatham Oaks is within the city limits and the county has been absorbing the cost
of those rides. Courtney asked if the county has a contract with University Heights;
Davidsen replied affirmatively, noting the contract is on the same basis as Iowa City's
and Coralville's.
Courtney said he feels the school issue should be addressed before July 1; the
school district has their own buses equipped to handle the rides. Kubby said the two
issues that should be pursued is the school issue and a response from the county
regarding the assertion that Iowa City residents are being double taxed for SEATS
service.
Courtney said he feels it is important to control expenses; the City's transportation
budget has grown disproportionately in relation to the other services that the City must
provide. Bolkcom said he feels the county runs a fairly efficient service; the ridership
has doubled in the last few years and the cost is related to that increase in demand for
the service. He encouraged the county and City to work together to find ways to save
money and provide service.
AIRPORT
Courtney said it is important for the Board to understand the relationship of the
Airport Commission to the City Council; the Airport Commission is a totally
autonomous body. He said the City Council has no control until the Airport
Commission asks for funding; any disagreements or arguments the county has
regarding the airport ought to be aimed primarily at the Airport Commission at this
point. Courtney said the Council's two controls over the Airport Commission are
funding and the appointment of Commissioners. Kubby said once the Airport
Commission makes a recommendation, the City Council will hold a public hearing; the
Council, through their control of funding, will control the issue of whether the airport
is relocated or expanded.
Ockenfels said people have expressed opposition to the relocation of the airport to
the Supervisors; she feels it is important for the Supervisors, as elected representatives
of county residents, to echo those concerns to the Council. Lacina said the Board is not
anti-airport; they are concerned about relocation.
Courtney said the Chamber of Commerce has put together a task force to evaluate
the economic worth and need of an airport; a report from that study will be presented
995

to the Commission in the future. He said the Chamber's Board of Directors have
passed a resolution stating the City has a need for an airport, but will wait for the
results of the study before taking a further stance.
Duffy said he also has concerns about expanding the airport; he is strongly opposed
to annexation or condemnation of the County Fairgrounds. He said it is one of the best
fairgrounds in the state and provides wonderful opportunities for all the residents of the
county, particularly the young people through 4-H and FFA activities.
Novick said the City would be required to relocated the fairgrounds if they decide
to expand the airport onto that land, Courtney said some people are in favor of that
proposal because they feel the fairgrounds are currently too small. Duffy strongly
disagreed.
LANDFILL: ANNEXATION OF THE LANDFILL SITE
City Manager Steve Atkins said the landfill is currently outside the corporate limits.
He presented four reasons for annexation of the landfill: 1) the City believes major
public facilities that are the City's responsibility should be within the corporate limits;
2) in case of an accident, the public safety response should be provided by the City's
personnel; 3) the City would have greater control over alternate uses of the site, which
most likely will be recreational; and 4) the City could apply their own zoning code to
the area.
Atkins said he is not sure future expansion is pertinent unless the DNR incorporates
some dramatic changes in their regulation of the landfill. In response to, a question
from Lacina, Atkins said it would be simpler for the City to expand the current landfill
site than to find a new site. He said if the City continues to manage the current sit as
they have been, it should be 20 to 25 years before the City experiences significant
pressure to look (or a new site.
Lacina asked if the City can annex without the county's assistance. He said the
county has an easement on the road over property which is owned by the adjoining
landowners; if those landowners oppose the voluntary annexation, he assumes the City
cannot jump over their properties. Atkins said that would be a policy question for the
City Council to determine whether to exercise involuntary annexation.
Duffy asked if the landftll is going to be a regional landfill; Atkins said it is
regional now but is operated solely by the City.
Maynard Hebl asked who would be responsible for paving the road and inslalling
sewer if the landfill is annexed; he asked if the adjoining property owners would be
assessed for those costs. Atkins said the road would become the responsibility of the
City, Hebl said when the landfill was placed in its CUrrent location, there was a verbal
agreement that the City would inslall a cyclone fence around the perimeters of the
995

landfill; to this date, the City has only installed a barbwire fence and the property
owners adjoining the landfill are still responsible for maintenance of their own fences.
Atkins said he was unaware of any such agreement and the whole issue of fencing has
changed dramatically with the DNR's regulations on blowing paper.
Lacina said the county does not have a procedure for assessing an adjoining
landowner for the improvement of a road; if the City annexes the landfill, they will
technically own the road to the landfill, but cannot assess an adjoining landowner in the
county .
Mary Hebl asked why it is so important for the City to own the road to the landfill.
Lacina said the City cannot annex an island of land in the county; the road would be
needed so that the land being annexed is contiguous to the City. The resident noted
according to the current contract, the landfIll site can only be used for recreational
purposes after closure.
In response to a comment by Ambrisco, Atkins said the landfill currently provides
regional service but not regional governance; he said there is a distinct difference.
Kubby said at one time a group of students from the University of Iowa had explored
the possibility of specialty landfills; she said there are different ways to think about the
word regional. Atkins said the City could operate a specialty landfill now through
agreements; the problem is the DNR, through their exercise of regulatory power, must
accept the proposal: He said the City basically acts as an agent of the DNR in running
the landfill because they set the rules.
I
County Attorney Pat White said annexation would not change the nature of the road
ownership; if it is currently right-of-way over underlying fee, that would not change
with annexation. Bolkcom asked if the maintenance costs for the road would be
included in the tipping fee charged by the landfill; Atkins said that is unlikely. He said
any time the City assumes a road, they simply incorporate the maintenance costs into
their road budget.
LANDFILL: TIPPING FEI1S
Atkins said it is difficult to consider tipping fees, state financial assurance requiring
the City to set aside funds for closure, capital costs, and operating costs independently.
He said the City's policy position to date has been that the City would assume liability
for the landfill forever; to protect the City's interest, they have an obligation to set
aside monies required by the state for closure and postclosure, and also the obligations
on the next generation. Atkins said the City has adopted a pay-as-you-go policy; the
City cannot borrow funds for capitol projects because they cannot guarantee users or
volume. He said because of that, there is no market for an institution to loan the City
money unless the City pledges their own full faith and credit; in his opinion, that is
unfair to the Iowa City taxpayers. He said the state has a number of regulations the
City must fulfill for closure; the City needs to set aside approximately $7 million over
.

the next 15 years to close the landfill. He said that means cash as well as pledging the
City's debt and their tax rates into the future; the result of all those things is an increase
in the tipping fees.
Ockenfels said county residents are paying a higher tipping fee; many county
residents feel this is an inequity. Atkins said if something goes wrong with the landfill
in the future, the county and other cities using the landfIll will not be liable. He said if
the City is willing to assume that liability, they need to protect their interests through
charging a premium to other users.
Ockenfels said the City is asking the county to pick up the extra cost for SEATS
service; it appears there is a double standard. Atkins said SEATS is a current expense
while the landfill is a long-term expense. Courtney said Ockenfels was jumping to a
conclusions; the City Council has not discussed the SEATS issue and the City has
always paid in more funds for SEATS at the end of the year.
Lacina said, according to JJCOG, the county cannot escape the liability of the
landfIll. Atkins said that is not his understanding; a contractual agreement could be
written with a whole harmless provision for the county. Lacina said it is his
understanding that it is not possible to subjugate liability through a contract.
Atkins said under the law, the City must pledge their debt margin; the higher
tipping fee is to protect future generations. Kubby said one of the short-term benefits
is that as soon as a cell is closed, the City begins to monitor it so any problems are
found before rural water supplies are contaminated. Atkins agreed the City is far more
sophisticated in their management of the landfill ,than they were in the past; he noted
regulations are much stricter now.
Balkcom said he feels the City has made a strong case for putting aside funds now
for eventual closure and post-closure costs, but he does not feel they have made a solid
case for charging a premium to county residents forever. He said the City ought to
look at the differential cost based on who contributes ,the most waste to the landfill; the
small towns and small haulers contribute very little of the total waste to the landfill.
Atkins said he does not refute that but the Iowa City residents' tax base will protect the
City's interest in the long-run. Lacina said the county may not be legally liable but
ethically they are responsible.
Atkins said the easy way to resolve the issue is to establish a system of regional
governance that spreads the tax liability to the tax base. Kubby noted the power of
how to run the landfill would also be spread out. Atkins said regional governance
would allow everyone wiUlin the boundaries of that region to enjoy the benefits but also
share in the liability.
Novick said the Council, had discussed a fee per resident but many people were
opposed to that idea and preferred the cost be charged through the tipping fees. Kubby

said the differential fee may be extended to include not only the volume, but also the
quality of waste because those are the items that will require the most effort in terms of
monitoring and cleanup later. She said she hopes the differential fee will not be
directed at just county versus non-county.
LANDFILL: HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE MATERIAL COLLECTION
AND DISPOSAL
Atkins said the City is developing a program that will be presented to the City
Council very soon. Bolkcom said he is encouraged to see that the City is establishing a
dedicated fund to develop a toxic cleanup day program; he sees this as prevention by
keeping toxins out of the landfill. He said he is concerned the $1.25 per ton being
charged through the tipping fee for this program is not adequate to meet the growing
need; he believes the state and federal governments will continue to look at local
governments as the body to solve this problem.
Bolkcom said, he would like a higher fee charged to allow for at least an annual
event. Kubby said money is needed not only for the collection and disposal but also for
an educational campaign to decrease what people generate. She said it also matters if
Cedar Rapids gets a pennanent site, in tenns of transportation costs. Novick noted one
of the biggest costs of the last cleanup day was transportation because the waste had to
be sent out of state. Bolkcom said he would like to see the charge increased to $3 to $4
per ton; it cost $73,000 for disposal in 1989. Kubby said if it costs a lot to get rid of
the toxins, it may encourage people to use substitute products.
DISCUSSION OF SEMI.ANNUAL MEETING DA TFS
Kubby said because there are so many issues the Council and Board need to discuss,
she feels that at least two meetings a year are warranted. She said an annual schedule
would make it easier to set a date. Courtney suggested meeting in January and July;
Kubby suggested meeting in April and September. Both bodies agreed to attempt to
meet bi-annually.
REPRESENTATION BY CITY OFFICIALS AT COUNTY MEETINGS. ,NOTICE
REQUIREMENT
Courtney said this issue stems from a county meeting regarding Iowa City's search
for water in rural Johnson County; there was a representation by the county that City
officials would attend a meeting. He said it was with very short notice and the City did
not have the personnel to attend and were crucified in the press for not attending. He
requested the county give the City more notice. Lacina agreed the county would try to
be more sensitive when scheduling meetings.

Lacina said his concern was that Court Street be extended to provide a collector
street to accommodate county emergency vehicles. Davidsen distributed a map
showing a preliminary identification of an alignment of the Court Street extension to
Taft Avenue.
TRAmc SIGNAL FOR THE INTERSECTION OF MORMON TREK AND
IDGHWAYl
Courtney said there is a high incidence of accidents at the intersection of Monnon
Trek and Highway I; the City has had requests from both inside and outside the City to
signalize that intersection. He said the intersection is in the county; the City is
requesting help in funding the project.
Ockenfels said the county would allow the City to annex it; Courtney said the City
is not interested in annexing it. Kubby said because the City has a traffic engineering
department, it make sense for the City to do the physical maintenance. Ockenfels said
she sees this as setting a precedence that could be costly to the county in the future if it
triggers requests to signalize other intersections.
Kubby suggested establishing a fonnula for shared funding; the City could provide
input on if there are any other county intersections that affect City residents to
detennine the potential for additional requests in the next 5 years.
Lacina said the county's jurisdiction allows them to place stop signs; the county
does not own the adjoining property. He said the county also has concerns about many
sites within other cities who may also request the county to fund the costs of a traffic
signal.
Davidsen said the Iowa Department of Transportation is also interested in having
the Monnon Trek and Highway 1 intersection signalized. . He said installation of a
traffic signal would cost approximately $50,000; the state would pay 55 to 80 percent
of that cost. Lacina said he would ask for a recommendation from the County
Engineer.
WETLANDS- SEW AGE PLANT ORDINANCE AGREEMENT WlTII THE
COUNTY
Atkins said the City has an conditional zoning agreement with the county
concerning the location of the south treatment plant; there is a real potential that the
wetlands could be utilized for some type of treatment of wastewater. He said
apparently, the wastewater treatment is of advantage to the wetland area. Novick said
it means the land would have to be restored to a real marsh and planted with marsh
plants; as it currently stands, it does not work. Atkins said this issue was placed on the

agenda so the City could provide infonnation; if the City chooses to expand the
wetlands, it may require changes to the conditional zoning agreement:
Atkins said the current agreement also contains a "quiet use" clause; the City is
interested in potentially using that ground for recreational purposes. He said it will
need to be detennined whether thr.t use would be a contradiction to the that clause.
WELL HEAD PROTECTION. AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALS
Atkins said he sent the county a packet of infonnation about the City's proposal for
well head protection programs, particularly how to protect groundwater supplies. He
said he has received no response from the county but still feels it is a good idea,
Balkcom asked if the well head protection program was related to the City's future
finding of water and protection of their wells. Atkins said there is a very real potential
for that if the City chooses to find a well system outside the corporate limits,
REGIONAL HOUSING ISSUES
Horowitz ECICOG has been working with Oxford and Tiffin to establish an
affordable housing program in an effort to decrease the demands on Iowa City, She
said if the county was interested in establishing affordable housing, ECICOG could
administer a program in the unincorporated parts of the county,
, DISCUSSION FROM THE PUBLIC
Mathew Eckennann said ridership for SEATS has decreased by 37 percent in the
last year because people are unable to get rides. He also complained the Free Medical
Clinic is not accessible to disabled persons. Kubby said ,there has been serious
discussion about installing an elevator in the Wesley House, which would allow the
entire building to be accessible.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS DISCUSSION:
Reel 93-35. Side 2
I
City Manager Atkins stated that he hoped that staff and Council would review his April 14,
1993 memorandum regarding Capital Improvement program, hold a detailed discussion about
the finances and resources available, discuss the projects as listed, and go through an actual
process of setting priorities, Atkins stated the CIP process includes two elements: the
technical/financial aspect and political aspect. Atkins noted that his April 14, 1993
memorandum regarding Capital Improvement program includes a summary, "Financial
Resources Capital Improvement Program 1993-2000" and information about the major
sources of money that would be available to finance the projects, Atkins stated ihat Public
Works Director Chuck Schmadeke, PCD Director Karin Franklin, City Engineer Rick Fosse, and
Transportation Planner Jeff Davidson are present to present information regarding the CIP,
Atkins said that projects are broken into categories and that it is important in those categories
to have similar values applied to similar projects. Atkins stated there is also a criteria for
review included in the memorandum,
FINANCES. Atkins stated that the CIP list includes $225 million in requests, Atkins stated
that the financiel options available are subject to statutory and charter regulations, Atkins
stated that the time frame established for the CIP process is a seven year period of time,
1993-2000, Atkins stated staff made a general assumption that the financial policies outlined
in the memorandum are acceptable to Council and if that is the case, there is approximately
$112,000 available resources that could be utilized right now, Atkins stated the unknowns
in finanCing the CIP are what is going to survive Council policy scrutiny, the ability to carry
these projects from Council to Council, and finanCing implications for the future, Atkins
reviewed the list of financial resources as follows,
General Fund, Atkins stated that a general assumption is that little general funds monies will
be put toward capital projects, Atkins cautioned Council about using general fund money for
major capital projects. Atkins stated that as a matter of policy, general fund is intended to
support the City's operating program and services and that the general fund should be used
for capital projects only when it is absolutely necessary,

GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT, Atkins stated that $12.5 million of general obligation debt is
projected to be available over the next seven year period. Atkins stated that it is assumed
that property values will grow at a rate of three percent a year and the tax rate that is used
for debt service would remain constant over the seven year period. Atkins'stated that if that
rate remains constant the proportion of taxes that are assigned for debt will diminish over the
seven year period. Atkins noted that there is a 25% policy that says no more than 25% of
tax revenues will be used for debt service. In response to Horowitz, Atkins stated that many
projects would require a referendum. Council members discussed the City's AAA bond rating.
Atkins stated the bond rating is important. Courtney noted that differences in interest rates
in today's market between AA and AAA bonds are very, very small.
Atkins stated the issue of landfill fees, parking fees, water and wastewater fees make the
assumption that the projects that are cleerly identified as being appropriate are to be funded
by these fees. Atkins explained that fees are charged commensurate with the capital that is
to be secured in the form of debt service on those fees. Kubby raised concerns about the
140% increase in water rates as it applies to liveability on a monthly basis. Kubby stated
other options should be discussed.
Atkins stated the City has not formally adopted a stormwater fee policy; currently storm water
management is paid for by general revenues and general obligation debt; and it is believed that
stormwater management and its cost to the community is going to grow substantially because
of federal regulations. Atkins stated that he is making the assumption that Council will
address an ordinance and/or policy that adopt some type of storm water management fee to
generate monies to pay for these projects, Atkins stated that under current law, a storm water
utility district could be established utilizing some sort of formula by which the City can charge
people for storm water management. Atkins explained that the City will need to consider a
storm water management fee to finance stormwater management projects required by federal
and state regulations. City Engineer Fosse explained that an inventory will be needed ~nd
would consist of an aerial mapping of the City to identify watersheds and existing storm
sewers. Horowitz asked if the stormwater management inventory process could utilize the
City/County mapping project. Fosse stated that that aerial photography was flown at three
different elevations over the city and the 50-scale and/or 100-scale maps will be use able
provided there haven't been significant changes in those areas, Atkins noted that Fosse has
been in contact with the city of Coralville regarding participation in this project. Novick
inquired about the billing for a stormwater management fee. Atkins stated that a form of a
utility billing would be considered.
"
PARKLAND ACQUISITION FUND.
FEDERAL/STATE GRANTS. Atkins stated that this is very much an unknown and very much
a question of timing. Atkins noted that the policy remains that the City make the most of
whatever state and federal aids are available. In response to Horowitz, Davidson stated that
there is flexibility with the use of ISTEA money, Horowitz asked when is the Iowa-Illinois Gas
& Electric Company franchise up for renewal. Atkins stated that franchise agreement was
adopted in 1986 and is up for renewal in the year 2001.
SUMMARY OF CAPITAL PROJECTS:
WATER. Atkins explained that surface water (Iowa River) is likely to be the City's source of
water in the future. Atkins explained that two specific areas in the rules and regulations that
are of concern are the turbidity and the chlorine. Atkins stated that the City of Iowa City will
be scrutinized very closely by the DNR and EPA because Iowa City is one of the largest

surface water users in Iowa. Atkins explained that turbidity Is a matter of clarity and the City
cannot consistently meet the new limits, Atkins also noted that the City is concerned about
its ability to meet the new chlorine regulations. Atkins explained because the City will be
unable to consistently meet the new limits, the City will have to put out notice to the public.
Atkins stated other issues associated with the water project are the continued use of surface
water, the extent of the use of well water, the location of the well system inside or outside
the City, plant location, and the need to put out a public concern notification. Atkins noted
the City is entertaining discussions with the University of Iowa about the possible purchase
of water to do some blending. Atkins stated the water project is' estimated to cost $44
million. Atkins noted that policy is to pay for this project through the use of user fees which
means water revenue bonds. In response to Kubby, Public Works Director Schmadeke
explained the University of Iowa uses river water and a Jordan well. Schmadeke stated the
University has a reserve capacity far greater than the City's. Novick asked how compliance
with new regulations is monitored. Schmadeke stated the City checks itself and provides a
notification if it is in violation. Courtney asked how many gallons the City pumps currently.
Schmadeke stated that the City pumps an average of 7 to 7 ~ million gallons per day and 10
to 1 0 ~ million gallons per day in the summer. Kubby inquired about the decrease in capacity
with the new regulations. Schmadeke explained that the new regulations for chlorine contact
time will determine water plant capacity. Schmadeke stated that is why the City wants to
purchase two million gallons from the University. In response to Kubby, Schmadeke explained
that the City has been trying to operate under the new standards and improve turbidity..
Schmadeke noted there will be periods where the City is going to be in violation. Schmadeke
noted that if the City can purchase two million a day from the University, the City could
improve water quality to the point that the City could meet the regulations. Kubby raised
concerns about the lack of water conservation and education program. Novick stated that
the City should go beyond education and offer water saving shower heads, aerators, etc, at
cost or less. Kubby asked if the City has met with the University yet about obtaining the two
million gallons per day. Schmadeke stated yes.
Atkins explained that if the City plans to move the treatment plant north of 1-80 the City will
need to build a sewer line from the treatment plant down to the existing sanitary sewer
because of the water's sludge. Atkins noted that once a sewer line is built there is a potential
for growth and development in that area. Ambrisco inquired about the timeframe for the
water project. Atkins stated that the City will have to initiate a program within a year.
Schmadeke stated staff is looking at beginning construction of the water project at the end
of 1994 and finishing the project by the end of 1996. Horowitz asked who owns the property
at the City's current water plant. Schmadeke stated the City owns the property. Atkins
stated that there is a lot of interest by the University regarding that property. McDonald
asked Schmadeke if the City is going to use surface water to meet its future water needs.
Schmadeke stated the City is going to have to use a substantial amount of surface water.
Schmadeke stated there is not a good groundwater supply In the county. Horowitz asked if
the Coralville Reservoir is being considered, Schmadeke stated that staff is looking at the
Coralville Reservoir as a water source. Schmadeke explained that the City is looking at three
water sources: the river, the Jordan aquifer and the silurian aquifer.
AIRPORT. Atkins explained the airport and its master plan is still under review. Atkins stated
thet he is unsure of what the cost will be for the project. Atkins stated that staff is using the
assumption that no decision has been mede on the options. Atkins explained that costs
associated with the airport project will be split 90% federal!1 0% local. Atkins stated that if
Council chooses to use debt to finance the City's share of the airport project, money will have
to be reserved from the $12.5 million total. Atkins explained that if the airport is moved to

a new site, it would require a referendum for borrowing. Atkins noted that If the airport is
moved to a new site, a major sewer line will be needed at the current airport property site.
LANDFILL. Atkins stated City staff considers this project a mandate, Atkins stated that the
assumption is being made that the tipping fees will be used to continue to finance the landfill.
Horowitz asked if there is a way to get together with Cedar Rapids on financing a transfer
station to connect with their compostible facility. Atkins stated yes. Atkins explained a
transfer station would depend upon who was going to carry the burden on capital financing
for the composting process.
Kubby asked Schmadeke for information regarding communities using a tipping fee based on
volume instead of weight. Schmadeke stated some cities have a volume limit and pay for
each garbage can for an additional fee. Kubby inquired about volume-based tipping fees.
Atkins noted that landfills are spece. Schmadeke noted that currently the City charges by ton
and the City is taxed on a per-ton basis by the state as well. Kubby stated it is her ideal to
have cost per space charged.
WASTEWATER. Schmadeke explained that there is ammonia and the City has to get rid of
it. Schmadeke explained the City can treat ammonia either mechanically or with chlorine.
Schmadeke said that the chlorine treatment process is dangerous for employees and storage
is a problem. Novick inquired about removing ammonia in wetlands. Schmadeke stated that
using wetlands to remove ammonia is not recommended because it is not economical and
there are questions about reliability because of climatic changes. Kubby noted that she will
try to obtain additional information regarding the use of wetlands to remove ammonia.
Schmadeke stated that a mechanical process will treat BOD and suspendible solids as well as
treat ammonia. Horowitz asked If wetlands and a mechanical process could both be used.
Schmadeke explained that If you build a connecting sewer and used the wetlands, the sewer
between the two plants would only transport tinished water from the north plant, which
would not have the ammonia removed. You would still have to use all the treatment
processes at the north plant for BOD and suspended solids, Schmadeke recommended money
be used to build a treatment process and to begin phasing out the north plant. Courtney
inquired about the north plant. Schmadeke stated that the old section could be phased out
and the new section used for storm water flows that get into the sanitary sewer system.
Kubby asked for an explanation about the relationship between increased capacity and
ammonia treatment. Schmadeke explained that the process to remove ammonia is the same
process used to remove BOD and suspended solids and the City would have to double the
capacity of its existing system to remove ammonia, In response to Novick, Schmadeke stated
currently there are no plans to add employees.
Schmadeke stated the staff is also recommending connecting the two plants together at the
time it treats ammonia and to begin to phase out the use of the north plant. Schmadeke
explained the location of the north plant is not ideal because of restricted space and odor
problems. Schmadeke presented information about the chlorine treatment process.
Schmadeke noted that initially the City would load up the south plant to its maximum capacity
so it could store the greatest amount of chlorine at that plant. In response to Horowitz,
Schmadeke stated thet If state law holds the City has ten year reprieve and has until
November 1999 to have the facilities built, If EPA overrides the state, the City would have
three years to complete the project. Courtney asked if the connection was made between the
north and south plants does the City have to add capacity to the south immediately.
Schmadeke stated that is right. Schmadeke explained that the City can relieve the north plant
by just making the connection given that it treats ammonia with chlorine.

Kubby inquired about water and wastewater treatment rates. Atkins stated the City is now
approaching a high average compared to other cities in Iowa. Atkins explained staff looked
at water, sewer and current refuse rates. An average monthly bill was $35. Atkins explained
that the projects proposed would cause a $35 average bill to increase to $57.
SOUTHWEST INTERCEPTOR, Schmadeke explained project costs for the southwest
interceptor is approximetely $7.5 million. Schmadeke presented a map detailing the location
of the southwest interceptor sewer. In response to Council members, Schmadeke explained
that at some point in time a southwest interceptor sewer will be needed for the west side
drainage aree to completely develop. Schmadeke presented information about the southwest
interceptor sewer as it relates to the Walnut Ridge Subdivision, Hawkeye Lift Station, and
Camp Cardinel Road.
PENINSULA SEWER AND LIFT STATION. Schmadeke explained that the gravity sewer and
lift station Is proposed to be tied into the sewer at Taft Speedway. Schmadeke stated that
this project is needed to provide for development of the peninsula area and will be needed if
the City builds a water treatment plant adjacent to the river north of I-SO, Schmadeke
referred Council members to a map. Councilmembers discussed the locations for a new water
plant. Novick asked if the City would have to have ownership or easement rights in terms of
getting water from the river to the water plant. Schmadeke stated that the City would need
easement rights.
NORTH RIVER CORRIDOR SEWER. Schmadeke noted the project costs are estimated
$425,000.
Franklin presented information about the peninsula area. Franklin noted that two road
projects, Foster Road and Taft reconstruction, spin off of the sewer extension. Franklin noted
that property owners on the peninsula, including the Elks Club, are interested in development
in the area. Kubby asked why a'separate sewer line is needed for the peninsula and Idyllwild
area. Schmadeke stated there are basically two different drainage areas. Horowitz asked if
both the north river corridor sewer and Highlander area sewer would be needed for the water
plant. Schmadeke noted that if the river location isn't the first choice then the peninsula
sewer would not have to be built. Novick asked how far north is being considered for the
water treatment plant. Schmadeke stated that a plant needs to be located in an area along
the river where, under normal low flow the water depth in the river is sufficient that the City
can draw a continuous flow into the plant. Schmadeke stated the consultants are to come
back to the City with two locations along the river between I.SO and the reservoir that would
be ideal sites to draw water from the river. Franklin noted that placement of the plant will
have an impact on development in the area. Franklin noted that when Schmadeke answered
Horowitz's questions regarding substituting the north corridor for the peninsula, that that was
in relationship to its serving the water treatment plant. Franklin stated the peninsula sewer
can serve two functions; one is for growth on the peninsula and one is access to the water
treatment plant if the water treatment plant is west. Franklin stated that If the water
treatment plant were not built there, Council could make the decision not to extend the
peninsula trunk if Council did not want to encourage development on the peninsula.
NORTHWEST TRUNK SEWER. Schmadeke explained this is extension to serve the north half
of Walnut Ridge Subdivision. In response to Kubby, Schmadeke stated thet the northwest
trunk sewer was not installed at the time the pipe was extended to the edge of the property
bacause, at that time, staff did not feel Walnut Ridge was going to develop as fast as it has,

ABER AVENUE SEWER. Schmadeke explained this is the sewer line that lies south of Rohret
Road extending from the existing southwest trunk west across Mormon Trek and Highway
218 to serve the area immediately south of the new school site along the south side of Rohret
Road. Franklin stated this would ellow development in e drainage area that is within the
growth policies but currently outside the corporate limits. Schmadeke stated it is in the
southwest water shed area and includes 600 undeveloped acres.
HIGHLANDER AREA SEWER AND LIFT STATION. Schmadeke stated this project assumes
development along Scott Boulevard north of the ridge line where the east-west arterial would
be located. Council members and staff referred to a map. In response to Kubby, Schmadeke
noted that the river corridor sewer that was built in 1980 has the capacity to serve the
undeveloped areas within the City plus 750 acres north of the Interstate. Novick asked if the
City has ever contracted to sell water or sewer to areas outside the corporate limits.
Schmadeke stated no, it is the City's current policy to not provide service outside the City
limits.
IDYLLWILD AREA SEWER PROJECT. Schmadeke referred to an area map.
SCOTT PARK AREA TRUNK SEWER. Schmadeke referred to an area map. Schmadeke stated
this serves a drainage area including 300 acres east of Scott Boulevard north of Court Street.
Horowitz asked how much the developer would pay and how much the City's share would
be in terms of the Glasgow property. Schmadeke stated that the project does not include
Bruce Glasgow's property. Schmadeke noted the care center would also tie into the sewer.
WEST SIDE TRUNK SEWER PROJECT. Schmadeke explained this is a ten inch sewer line that
currently extends west of Mormon Trek and serves the property north of Rohret Road. In
response to Horowitz, Schmadeke stated it would be going to the school and the Kennedy
property. Kubby asked if Council deci~ed not to do the west side trunk sewer project where
would the school sewage go. Schmadeke stated the school waste would still go down
through the same sewer. Franklin noted that there are two final plats that are pending
Council's decision on the west side trunk. Franklin noted that with the west side sewers and
development in the area there will be a need for the southwest interceptor. Horowitz asked
if there was a logical sequence of staff's point of view. Schmadeke stated that if you wanted
to accommodate development that will occur because of the school then the west side should
be done. Council members and staff discussed development sequence. Franklin stated that
as Council moves into deciding priorities a sequencing of the projects will fall into place,
Franklin explained that the phasing in growth and development in terms of the list of CIP
projects the City will do in the next seven years will also fall into place. Franklin stated that
in a certain sense by prioritizing the CIP Council is setting up for a new Comp plan,
STREET RECONSTRUCTION:
Council member Kubby requested that a map be available, Atkins stated that a map locating
the street projects can be placed in the Public Works Conference Room. Atkins noted there
are four categories of streets: new, existing improved, unimproved and bridges.
STREET RECONSTRUCTION (EXISTING IMPROVED).
NORTH DUBUQUE STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT, Fosse explained that North
Dubuque Street is experiencing flooding and when the Iowa River is high it reduces the
capacity of the City's storm sewers in the area.

BENTON STREET-GREENWOOD DRIVE TO ORCHARD. Davidson explained that staff
identified areas of concerns including capacity constraint. Kubby noted that the summary on
the Benton Street project does not state what the improvements would be.
SYCAMORE STREET.HIGHWAY 6 TO DEFOREST, Fosse stated that this is a capacity related
item. Kubby asked why this project does not go down to Lower Muscatine. Davidson stated
that staff would probably look down to Lower Muscatine. Novick inquired about parking on
the street. Fosse stated that parking is allowed north of DeForest. Davidson stated that any
time you do something for capacity it helps.
DODGE STREET-GOVERNOR TO NORTH DUBUQUE ROAD. Fosse explained this is very much
a capacity related issue and there is pressure from the DOT. Fosse noted that the intersection
of Prairie du Chien and Dodge Street is now causing problems and it would be difficult to
signalize it without widening it. Horowitz stated that Horace Mann Element~ry School has
raised concerns regarding traffic and speed. Horowitz asked if it is possible to diminish traffic
coming down through Dodge Street via the east-west arterial and Scott Boulevard extension,
Davidson reminded Council that in Iowa City, people are coming downtown or to the
University Hospital and even if you get around the north end of town, at some point people
are going to want to get to town. Davidson emphasized that most trips in Iowa City are still
made from out-to.in in the morning and from in.to-out in the evening.
HIGHWAY 6-LAKESIDE DRIVE TO SCOTT BOULEVARD, Fosse explained that this is an
extension of the existing divided four-lane concept of Highway 6 Bypass. Fosse stated its
benefits would be providing turning lanes into the City's industrial park and on to Scott
Boulevard and possibly to developments to the south. Fosse stated there is potential for state
participetion on these improvements. Courtney esked if right-of-way is available. Fosse
stated preliminary drawings show that the City will need a little additional right-of-way.
Horowitz asked how many of the street projects could possibly involve federal funds.
Davidson stated almost all of them. Horowitz asked how many of them would also need
environmental assessment or environmental impacts. Davidson stated that is something to
be evaluated on a project-by' project basis.
FIRST AVENUE.D STREET TO BRADFORD. Davidson stated this is on the arterial street plan
and is tied to the Council's ultimate decision regarding extending First Avenue.
MUSCATINE AVENUE-BURLINGTON TO COURT. Fosse stated that plans are to maintain a
three-lane facility but getting adequate lane width is problematic.
MELROSE AVENUE-BYINGTON TO HAWKINS. Fosse stated that this item has been discussed
previously.
GILBERT STREET-HIGHWAY 6 DUAL LEFT TURN LANES, Fosse emphasized this is a very
badly needed project. Fosse noted there are right-of-way constraints on the north side. Fosse
explained that a great opportunity to construct this project would be during the connector
sewer project between the two plants.
BURLINGTON AND GILBERT STREET INTERSECTION. Fosse explained that USTEP funds are
available. Fosse explained this project will add a left turn lane to the three legs of the
intersection ihat does not currently have it. Fosse stated another component of the project
Is the Ralston Creek bridge on Burlington Street. Courtney raised concerns about the
condition of Burlington Street. Fosse stated that the DOT has told the City if they wait a year
the state will help pay for the Burlington Street bridge over Ralston Creek, McDonald inquired

about past work done on the Burlington Street bridge over Ralston Creek. Fosse said
previously the City applied an epoxy chip seal on it to try to slow down the rate of chlorides
getting into the deck steel, Fosse stated there are two problems: the deck is corroding and
the chip seal isn't sticking.
RIVER STREET-RIVERSIDE TO WOOLF. Fosse stated the existing pavement is deteriorating.
WOOLF A VENUE.NEWTON TO RIVER. Horowitz asked if the dangerous corner at the Woolf
and River streets intersection could be eliminated. Staff referred to a map,
TRAFFIC SIGNALlZATION/ASPHAL T RESURFACING. Fosse explained this money is used for
periodic traffic signal improvement and overlay on streets.
STREET RECONSTRUCTION (FORMERLY UNIMPROVED).
MELROSE AVENUE-WEST HIGH TO HIGHWAY 218, Fosse stated this project connects the
two divided four.lane segments with similar type arrangement. Courtney noted that Council
recently received a petition for this project. Fosse stated the project also adds sidewalks to
the area. Horowitz raised concerns about the statement that the construction of the Camp
Cardinal Road from Melrose to Highway 6 would significantly impact this portion of Melrose
Avenue. Davidson stated that this project does not relate to a capacity problem but that it
is a safety-related one without sidewalks. Davidson stated that with the Camp Cardinal Road
extended into Coralville it would then become a capacity problem. Novick asked if Camp
Cardinal Road is extended that it doesn't necessarily have to go to Coralville. Fosse explained
that the south end of Camp Cardinal Road currently ties into Melrose Avenue.
SYCAMORE STREET.BURNS TO SOUTH CITY LIMIT. Fosse stated this project is similar to
Rohret Road, and asked Council how much development do they want to occur before
improvements are done to the street.
I
TAFT SPEEDWAY.NORTH DUBUQUE TO CALlBRIA. Fosse stated that this Is now called No
Name Street. Fosse said he has not had pressure for this project.
FOSTER ROAD.WEST OF DUBUQUE. Fosse noted this is tied to the sewer project. Fosse
stated that if sewers are put in and development occurs there will be plenty of pressure to
develop the street.
SLOTHOWER ROAD. Horowitz asked if it is a viable connection for Melrose to Rohret.
Davidson stated it is for secondary access. In response to Horowitz, Franklin stated that there
were discussions about extending it to the south and having it intersect with Rohret Road but
offsetting it from the county road to the south so people wouldn't use it as a cut-through to
Highway 1. Franklin stated that circulation for the area would be served by Phoenix coming
up and intersecting Slothower Road but it would be made into a T.intersection.
ROHRET ROAD PROJECT. Fosse stated that no further explanation is needed, Kubbyasked
how binding was the resolution regarding the date. Atkins stated that from experience at the
time Council expressed its policy intent, legally and practically, Atkins stated that reasons for
which a resolution is passed may change and that Council could undo the resolution, Atkins
stated that if Council would choose to undo the resolution and in effect begin the process of
improving Rohret Road by way of assessment, that Council would have people saying thet
they did not understand that to be the decision of Council at that time. Atkins stated that by
resolution, legally, Council did not preclude itself from taking away special assessments,

NEW STREETS.
SOUTHGATE A VENUE. Davidson noted that this is an extension of Southgate over to Gilbert
Street.
EAST-WEST ARTERIAL, SCOTT BOULEVARD EXTENDED, FIRST AVENUE EXTENDED,
Davidson stated Council is aware of the issues related to growth occurring in this quadrant
of the town and it is tied to some of the sewer issue decisions that Council will be making.
In response to Kubby, Davidson stated that staff has proposed two lane extensions with right-
of-way to possibly go wider in the future. McDonald asked if Council decided to extend Scott
and not do the east-west extension or First Avenue extension, can the cost for the
subsequent development be borne by the developer as development occurs. Davidson stated
a portion of them could. Franklin commented about the City's policies for paying for arterial
streets. Franklin stated that when streets are put in ahead of development for some
community reason the City pays for them, Otherwise, they are paid for as development
occurs and the developer pays for the local size and the City pays for oversize. Franklin
stated a third policy relates to annexation whereby the developer pays the full costs because
development is out-of-sequence. Kubby asked as zoning changes occur can the conditional
zoning agreement be used. Franklin stated costs could be negotiated through the conditional
zoning as long as it is fair, equitable and consistent.
Staff and Council discussed traffic patterns and the need for two or four lanes on First
Avenue, Scott Boulevard extended and First Avenue extended.
COLLECTOR STREET-HICKORY TRAIL TO ROCHESTER. Davidson stated this relates to a
secondary access question and would involve involuntary acquisition of property. Davidson
stated that there is also a wetland issue in that area.
FOSTER ROAD-DUBUQUE STREET TO PRAIRIE DU CHIEN. Davidson stated this is related to
encouraging or discouraging development in the area. Atkins asked if the purchase of ground
by a group of folks in that area affected this project. Davidson stated that the area purchased
is south of this alignment. Franklin explained that the alignment runs along the drainageway
there; and development would occur on the fingers of land to the north. Franklin stated the
development to the south of Foster Road would be restricted somewhat by the purchase.
CAMP CARDINAL RDAD EXTENDED. Davidson stated that staff has had extensive discussion
on this project. Davidson noted that it would be an arterial street for west Iowa City and go
between Highway 6 and Melrose Avenue.
COURT STREET EXTENDED TO TAFT. Davidson stated that this would be in conjunction with
the Windsor Ridge annexation area. Kubby stated that where there are street projects that
involve sensitive lands it is important for Council to think in terms of priorities and protection
and the implementation of some kind of protection for those sensitive areas.
BRIDGES:
PEDESTRIAN OVERPASS. Kubby inquired about the cost estimates for the pedestrian
overpass project. Fosse stated that the cost includes the addition of a sidewalk along the
south side of the property, the stairs and the house.
Fosse stated that the bridge projects, with the exception of the pedestrian bridge overpass,
are all reconstructions of existing bridges.

.
Davidson explained that the planning study was done for the pedestrian overpass and staff's
position is reflective of the direction Council 9ave staff. Davidson stated under consideration
is the creation of a good situation of traffic flow on Highway 6 in order to keep the adjacent
neighborhoods clear of traffic to the degree that is possible. Staff and Council discussed
traffic flow. Kubby asked if there was a way to increase the walk cycle across Highway 6
without causing major disruption to traffic flow. Davidson explained that whenever
discussions are held with Traffic Engineer Jim Brachtel he always relates it to a piece of pie
with sections carved out of it - if you add to the north-south you have to take it away from
the east-west. Davidson responded to Kubby by saying that it is certainly possible to add
more time to the north-south pedestrian movements by restricting the east-west vehicular
movements. Novick stated that people will cross at places other than the bridge. Davidson
explained that putting a pedestrian bypass in does not eliminate pedestrian movements at
street level. Davidson noted that the First Avenue location for the pedestrian bypass was
selected and recommended by the Grantwood Neighborhood Association. Kubby inquired
about funding sources. Davidson noted that the City anticipates obtaining approximately $3
million of STP funds over the next, four years and there is flexibility with the use of that
money. Council and staff discussed walk signal controls. Novick stated that both slowing
down traffic for walk signals and putting up a bridge is needed. Novick stated that she would
first like to try the less expensive project - putting in walk signals. Atkins stated that if
Council decides on changing the walk cycles he will contact Traffic Engineer and report back
to Council with additional information. Majority of Council directed staff to change walk cycle
times.
I
Atkins stated that with bridge projects Council can use financial policies to determine their
priorities by placing the projects In order as they move up the state list and become eligible.
Atkins noted that the pedestrian overpass project is a separate decision. Kubby stated that
in agreeing to doing the walk lights Council is not making a statement about the pedestrian
overpass bridge at this point. Atkins stated decisions regarding projects can be made once
priorities are set. Atkins stated that Traffic Engineer Brachtel can provide additional
information for Council regarding walk cycles.
MEETING SCHEDULED DISCUSSION:
Council agreed to schedule the next CIP discussion on Monday, May 3, at 7:00 or 7: 15 p.m.
Meeting adjourned at 9:30 p,m.

Marian Karr
City Clerk
Civic Center
410 E. Washington st.
Iowa City, Iowa 52245
Dear Ms. Karr,
I wish to be considered for appointment to the District
C position on the Iowa city City Council. For 19 years, I
have been a professor of political science at the University
of Iowa. During that time, I have closely followed
community events, and am locally active in various ways.
Currently, I am involved in the Northside Neighborhood
Association, having served on the Board of Directors, and
last year as Vice-President. Also, as a certified Master
Gardener, I engage in different public service activities,
such as staffing an information table at Farmer's Market or
giving presentations on compost and other gardening
questions.
I
I should note that I have no intention of running for
Council this fall. Indeed, it would not even be feasible
for me to do so, since I will be on sabbatical leave and out
of the country from January 1994 to June 1994.
If you or members of Council have any questions, please
do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your
consideration.

Dear Sirs,

I am writing in regards to the vacancy in Iowa City City
Council, District C. I've become interested in the vacancy upon
reading about the open spot in the Daily Iowan. I have always wanted
to be part of politics, and this opportunity for me to serve with the
Council, and represent District C, will be a great beginning.
I reside at 516 S. Gilbert, I believe that is considered part of
the downtown area. I am a twenty-four year old who has big goals and
ambitions, one is to be part of a team to make Iowa City one of the
areas best growing urban centers. Given an opportunity to fulfill these
goals, I will see to it that proper ordinances and regulations are
followed.
I graduated from a small private University named Southwest
Baptist, in Bolivar, Missouri. It was there were I was involved in
College Republicans and Student Senate, at Ellsworth Junior College.
I graduated with a B.A. in both Religious Education and Psychology,
with a minor in Military Science. I received my commission as Second
Lieutenent in the Combat Engineers on May 19, 1990.
I welcome this as an opportunity to learn more about the
political system at another level. Enclosed is a resume with more of
my credentials. I look forward in hearing from you.
