Tape recorded on Tapes 93-48, Side 2; 93-51, Sides 1 and 2; 93-52, Side 1. SEATS UPDATE Reel 93.48, Side 2 Courtney presented information about SEATS request for additional funding. Courtney distributed information regardin9 Johnson County SEATS. Courtney presented Information relating to the number of rides SEATS has provided, the Iowa City-County 28E Agreement, and the amount of taxes collected Into the County's general fund. Courtney stated that under #5, the last sentence In the 28E Agreement states: "FY93 shall not exceed $269,580..." Courtney explained that Iowa City represents 55.21 % of the amount of taxes collected into the County's general fund and Coralville represents 11.66%. Courtney raised the concerns that the rides being charged to the general tax levy are rides being charged to the City at the full price of $5.86 pe( ride, and therefore the City is actually paying twice. Courtney stated discussions were also held regarding the schools situation. Courtnev explained that school rides that originate In Iowa City are charged to the City per ride and the School Board then reimburses the City at a rate of $1.50 per ride. Courtney noted that the School Board does not pay for summer school rides. Courtney stated he informed the County Board of Supervisors that the City did not Intend on continuing the school payments. Courtney stated that the County and Larry Olson have proposed a compromise position and are now requesting $22,000. Novick Inquired about SEATS rides provided to Systems Unlimited and Goodwill. John Lundell stated that Systems Unlimited and Goodwill have separate contracts with the County. Lundell explained that SEATS provides rides from group homes to the Nelson Center and they rent the vahlcle on an hourly basis. Lundell explained that if residents take trips in the evening it becomes the City's responsibility. Novick inquired about Headstart. Lundell explained that SEATS provides some Headstart transportation. Courtney stated Council needs to address two Issues: the $22,000 request for this year and establishing a committee to discuss next year's contract. In response to Novick, Lundell explained that Supr. Joe Bolkcom calculated the use percentages and contribution percentages and It showed that Iowa City and Coralville were paying for more transportation than they were gatting on a per ride basis. Horowitz noted that SEATS has enough money to make It to the end of the fiscal year. Novick stated that the City is already paying for more rides than they are using. Courtney noted that the County feels the City should pay on a per ride basis and that they don't understand why Iowa City is wanting to change this year from previous r-/7 \ ----- ~. - ..----..~T ';.' ~:L7I:':'i:~"I'I~..

Lundell noted thatthera are two differences this year: the magnitude of the request. $34,000. Is a lot more and in previous years SEATS did not have enough money to operate until the end of the year without edditional input. Kubby inquired about SEATS' budget. Lundell explained that SEATS has received more state and federal funding than what was budgeted for and there have been less expenses than what was projected. Courtney noted that the County is now housing the offices of SEATS In their building and there is no line time charges for that in the budget. Kubby asked what happens if the City does not pay the additional funding. Courtney stated that decision is up to the County Board of Supervisors. Ambrisco inquired about the $8 per ride charge for County rides. Lundell explained the cost per trip for a County trip is more expensive and the $8 charge is the way the math worked out. I I I City Council members agreed to not fund the request for additional monies. Kubby stated that when discussions are scheduled with the County Board of Supervisors regarding SEATS that the University Heights be invited. Horowitz stated that the School Board should be invited also. Kubby stated that If the City is intending to not pay the School Board for rides originating for school activities that the City needs to communicate that to the School Board. Courtney stated a draft letter Is being prepared. C.I.P. DISCUSSIONS Reel 93-48. Side 2 City Manager Atkins stated that the C.I.P. process is based on a seven year time frame. FY93- FY2000, and priority decisions should be based on project values. Kubby' stated that wetlands should be an Issue discussed in the C.I.P. City Council members and staff discussed and set priorities on the following categories and projects: NEW STREETS Staff and Council members discussed the new street projects. City Manager Atkins stated that staff came to a consensus that the likelihood of the Camp Cardinal project occurring within the seven year plan is remote. Atkins explained that if it is unlikely that a project is going to occur by the year 2000 then the project should be removed from the list. PCD Director Karin Franklin presented Information about development In the Camp Cardinal area. Franklin stated that 20 lots have been sold In Walnut Ridge and there are 80 lots to go. Council agreed to remove the Camp Cardinal Road project from the list. , I I I I , I I , I I Atkins presented Information about Foster Road, Dubuque to Prairie du Chien. Atkins stated that a peripheral issue relating to Foster Road Is acquiring rlght.of-way for a water line. Public Works Director Chuck Schmadeke stated the City is currently looking for a route for a water line to tie the wells Into the feedback to the Water Troatment Plant. Schmadeke stated the City may want to purchase the right.of.way for the water pipe and for the future road. In response to Horowitz. Schmadeke explained the City contacted the state regarding use of the right.of.way of Interstate 80 and they said no. Schmadeke explained the Foster Road right.of. way would be used as the collection line to tie the wells to feed back to the new water plant. Novick asked where the new water plant will be located. Schmadeke stated It will be located along the river and staff Is currently looking at property just south of the Interstate and east of the river. McDonald esked If new ordinances have made It more difficult for development in the area. Schmadeke stated that there Is a potential wetland off of Bjaysvllle Lane, but other than that the land Is developable. Kubby asked how much grading will have to be done. .1'-(7 ......--.. T""' - ..

Kubby statad that the proJect should be removed from the new streets category. Courtney raised concerns about having a new northern east-west arterial to deal with the traffic that now uses the North End Neighborhood. Transportation Planner Jeff Davidson stated that 12-13 years ago decisions were made regarding residential property development in the Prairie du Chien area that downgraded the scope of the Foster Road project. Davidson stated there Is a lot of local traffic on 1-80 betwaen Dubuque and Highway 1 and the Foster Road project would provide relief to the Ridge and Kimball area. Davidson explained that It would be the 1-80 connection to Highway 1 and some connection with Scott Boulevard extension that would assist with the overall northeast area travel. The majority of Council members agreed to remove Fostar Road project from the list. Council mambers and staff discussed Court Street extended. Franklin explained that there are two things that would precipitate this project: one would be if Windsor Ridge developed fast, and if demand were created at Windsor Ridge there would be another decision to be made If the Intervening property was not ripe for development for Council to decide whether to use condemnation to get the street through. Atkins stated that it is unlikely for Windsor Ridge to be fully developed up to Court Street within the seven year period. Franklin reminded Council that the dollar values placed on the project doesn't necessarily mean that all of the money will come from debt service. Franklin stated that assessments and imposing some of the costs on developers could occur. Council members agreed to keep the Court Street extended project on the list. \ Atkins referred to a map and outlined the locations of the Southgate Project and the east-west project, Scott Boulevard project, First Avenue project and collector streets. Novick stated she would like to address the northeast proJects as a total concept to get traffic off of Dodga Street. Novick stated that she is receiving complaints about the current ACT traffic. Davidson explained that ACT is going to be changing around how people get in and out of the facility and the City has the ability to signalize the intersection which will make It a lot easier for people to get in and out of ACT. Davidson explained that Iowa City has a very predominant destination area. Davidson explained the BDI, Sycamore Mall area has about 4,000 jobs inputted and by comparison the downtown and hospital area has 28,000 jobs. In response to Novick, Davidson stated that jobs would be very small In the north end. Davidson referred to the map and discussed traffic patterns in the area. Horowitz noted that there Is no sign on Local Road for trucks to find their way into the southeast part of town. Davidson noted that the 28,000 jobs In the Central Business District versus 4,500 jobs In BDI, Sycamore Mall area demonstrates that there Is a minor part of the total amount of traffic in the southeast area. Horowitz noted that Iowa City could realign Highway 1 through town and provide an alternate route for Highway 1 to go straight down Scott and connect with Hi9hway 6. Davidson explained there has been a recommendation made by the IDOT to have Highway 1 included on the newly designated National Highway System. Davidson stated Council has the option to redesignate the state end federal highway routes through town. Davidson stated that two to three years ago staff prepared a memo outlining both the positive and negative impacts of redesignating the routes. Davidson stated that he could provide that memo to Council again. Kubby inquired'about the connection between Hickory Hill Trail and Rochester. Davidson stated that It would be connected and the property owner who owns the property further east of where it terminates is receptive to developing that. Council agreed to retain all the proJects on the new streets list. .T- t7 \ , ", ' f'"'!/'" "1':: 'Hi' ..' "fj" ..... .", :',:..',',', , ' . '...;' , ,,~", .' " ,0' ,'" I I' " , , . .

Novick asked if tying the two plants together with the southwest interceptor would create demand for Southgate Avenue to be extended. Atkins stated the demand would be intensified. Atkins explained the area Is CI.1 and development is occurring. Novick asked why the City would finish the Southgate project before the developer would help. Atkins stated that the project would be done primarily for traffic relief. Schmadeke explained that the figure represents the total cost to do the project. Schmadeke stated that steff is currently working with the developer on some of the development of this propertv where he would give the City right'of.way, he would also pay for the paving at the time he develops around the section that the City would improve, and he would pay for the actual cost at the time he develops. Horowitz raised concerns about the railroad crossing creating a stacking of cars. Schmadeke stated that once the road is established the railroad cannot block the crossing. I Council and staff went through a ranking process of the new streets projects as follows: New Streets ~ RillJk Southgate East.West Scott Boulevard First Avenue Extended Collector Foster Camp Cardinal Court Street Extended $324,000 $3,175,000 $5,435,000 $525,000 $820,000 $1. 700,000 $3.404,000 $1,850,000 2 3 1 4 4 Remove Remove 3 PARKS AND RECREATION Atkins explained that there are two sets of projects, a large grouping of small projects and a group of very big projects. Atkins reminded Council that there is a Parks and Recreation Commission that Council relies on for policy guidance and borrowing will require referendum. Atkins noted that the group of small projects totals $875,000. Atkins stated that the $875,000 of projects could be accomplished by appropriating $125,000 per year over a seven year period. Courtney asked what are the Hickory Hili Improvements. Kubby stated those improvements are for accessibility. Horowitz noted that project listed In the C.I.P. does not reflect the increased operational cost for maintaining those projects. Atkins stated every capital project has an effect on the operating budget. Horowitz asked If neighborhood associations could assist with some of the parks. Atkins stated that Trueblood has met with the folks in the Hunters Run about their park. Trueblood stated that Adopt-A.Park is more of a cleanup type effort end that neighborhoods can't be depended upon to take over total maintenance of parkland. Kubby asked how much money Is spent on doing rehab and development of parks. Trueblood stated that this year Parks and Recreation has budgeted $20,000 and that accessibility Is becoming an annual program. Kubby asked about projects In the Perks and Recreation Commission strategic plan. Trueblood stated that the Parks and Recreation Commission established as their #1 priority in the strategic plan the soccer and softball facility Improvements. Trueblood stated the #2 priority is the additional indoor recreational space. Novick stated something should be done about the eroding banks in the Crandlc Park. Trueblood noted that the Commission's #3 priority was the inner.city bike trails, the #4 priority Ryerson Woods, and #5 priority was the undeveloped "X-t?

Atkins asked Council if they would like to set priorities on all of the smaller projects. Courtney recommended that the smaller projects not be prioritized and that Council budgets $100,000 a year for seven yaars. Kubby noted that Crandlc Park should be done as soon as possible. Trueblood stated Crandic Park is not City.owned property, it is owned by the railroad. Atkins stated that the park should be fixed. McDonald noted that $350,000 is budgeted for future parkland. Atkins stated the project ties Into the open space plan for neighborhoods. McDonald asked If Parkland Acquisition Fund could be used for some of these purposes. Kubby stated the money could be used for open space plan for developed areas versus developing areas. Trueblood noted that in the Parks and Recreation Commission's strategic plan the open space plan was the #1 priority on their non-capital list. I I I I Atkins referred to the list of major Parks and Recreation projects. Atkins explained that the laws have changed so that the City is now permitted to borrow for certain capital projects and can borrow up to $700,000 and then post a notice of reverse referendum. Council members discussed the large Parks and Recreation Commission projects. Kubby stated the golf course project should be removed from the list. Courtney inquired about the adult.related and youth.related projects. Trueblood explained that the Universitv of Iowa softball lighting would be primarily for adults. Napolean Park for youth, south soccer fields for youth, trails-open space-ice rink fcr both, golf course for adults, Mercer Park and Recreation Center expansion for both, and the sports complex mostly for youth. Council members discussed prioritization of the golf course. Council and staff reviewed the Rec Center roof, cemetery, Rec Center floor, and Sycamore wetlands projects. Atkins stated that the Rec Center roof project is underway and Council has Indicated that the City should continue operating the cemetery. Novick requested information on the Rec Center roof project. Council and staff go through a ranking process of the Parks and Recreation projects as follows: Parks & Recreation Cost Rank U of I Softbell $35,000 4 I Napolean Park $780,000 1 South Soccer Fields $240,000 2 I , Iowa River Trail ? 3 Bike Trails ? 5 i Open Space ? 6 , , Ice Rink $1,500,000 3 ! i Golf Course $3,500,000 3 i Mercer Expansion $4,500,000 2 Rec Center Expansion $4,500,000 1 I I Sports Complex $4,000,000 3 I STREET RECONSTRUCTION Council members and staff discussed street reconstruction projects. Atkins stated that Council Is currently dealing with the Melrose Avenue-Byington to Hawkins project. Courtney asked If all the projects Involve widening. Atkins stated no. Atkins stated the River Street and Wolfe Avenue is reconstruction resurfacing projects. Ambrisco asked if the North I-17 :', "t~l " ,~>,,' 'h" 'tzI;';"": "<, ,.': ' '---'-,---, ~ . ;:~ ' '~ - -' :/: :..' . ' .' 1 ,,':, ..;'. '-, ~. -:~. "~, ...r: '~'........:.. ..i . :~:. ". '. . ':', ' .,' . <<," 6 Dubuque project takes care of flooding. Atkins stated yes. City Engineer Fosse explained that there may be a potential for funding the Dubuque Street project because of the increased frequency of flooding that has occurred with the new water control plant at the Reservoir. Novick noted that changing the North Dubuque Street elevation is not going to help City Park. Courtney stated the Council has previously stated that the North Dubuque project is not a priority without funding. Ambrlsco asked why the Melrose project Is Included in the list. Atkins stated the project hasn't been decided upon yet. Courtney Inquired about the Benton Street project. Davidson stated that many of the projects that aro on tho list are existing deficiencies for traffic flow. Atkins stated that the River and Wolfe Street projects are simply old streets that need to be fixed. Davidson stated that besides the River and Wolfe Street projects, the Highway 6.Lakeslde to Scott is also a project that Is not an existing capacity deflclancy. Horowitz stated that she thought that If the Scott Boulevard to Highway 1 project were done, the City would not need to widen the section of Dodge Street. Davidson stated that even with the northeast area of new streets, Dodge Street is stili a deficiency. Horowitz raised concerns that widening Dodge Street will promote and encourage more traffic through the Dodge Street corridor. Horowitz noted that widening Dodge Street will have an Impact on school and neighborhoods. In response to Novick, City Engineer Fosse explained the Highway 6 projects includes dual left turn lanes on Gilbert, both north and south legs. Novick Inquired about the Burlington Street project. Atkins stated that Council has already agreed to that project. Courtney stated the Burlington Street project could be deleted from the list then. Courtnev inquired about the Muscatine Street project. Atkins explained that It is Burlington to Court widening and c1eanln9 It up. Horowitz asked if the Dodge Street and Highway 6 projects cost are the City's share of the project. Atkins stated the cost listed are the total costs. Davidson noted that there Is a good chance that the City could receive cost sharing with the feds for the Dodge Street project. Novick inquired about the Highway 6 project. Kubby stated the project Is needed for the turn.offs to the trailer court and to get onto Scott Boulevard. Courtney suggested Council consider the River and Wolfe projects as one project. Council and staff went through a ranking process of the street reconstruction projects as follows: \ Street Reconstruction ~ B2nk North Dubuque $742,000 Delete Benton $850,000 7 Melrose $521,000 1 Gilbert $304,000 5 Burlington $475,000 Underway River $572,000 3 Wolfe $320,000 4 First Avenue $980,000 6 Sycamore $180,000 10 Muscatine $105,000 9 Dodge $1,262,000 2 Highway 6 $2,898,000 8 Paving and Signals $1,750,000 Previously agreed Council and staff egreed to schedule the public buildings C.I.P. discussions at their next informal work session. , , I I I I i I , I ) . !
