IOWA CITY TRANSIT FACILITY MEMBERS PRESENT: John Ockenfels, Howard Horan, Pat Foster, Robert Hicks, Richard Blum STAFF PRESENT: Ron O'Neil, Anne Burnside CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Ockenfels called the meeting to order at 5:38 p.m. A quorum of the Commission was present. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The minutes of the June 19, 1993, Commission meeting were corrected to show that the amount collected from ticket purchases at the Cedar Rapids Airport from Iowa city area travelers that is designated for general aviation use is estimated at $ 400,000, not $ 300,000, as reported. AUTHORIZATION OF EXPENDITURES: Horan made a motion to pay the bills as presented. Blum seconded the motion and it passed 5 - O. PUBLIC DISCUSSION - ITEMS NOT ON AGENDA: E.K. Jones, from Iowa City Flying Service, requested permission to install an outlet west of the Terminal Building, to power an auxiliary ground unit. ICFS would pay for the installation costs and the installation would be done by a certified electrician. If the unit was used excessively, a fee schedule would be arranged to cover electrical costs. The Commission directed O'Neil to work out the details with ICFS. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ACTION: a. sports Car Club - O'Neil stated that there were two areas identified as possible sites for the event. The area on Runway 35 favored by the Club would require Closing two runways. Ockenfels stated that when the project was approved two months ago, it was with the understanding that the event would be accomplished safely with minimum inconvenience to the Airport. The only way to access Runway 35 is to transition through the safety zone. Bob Kistler, from the SCC, said he was under the assumption that the plan he submitted would be accepted and he had sent notices to the car club scheduling the event at the Airport.

Kistler stated he would not ask to use the Airport again but wanted to try to hold the event because it was already advertised. The Commission agreed for this time only to close a taxiway and one runway to accommodate the car club. This would inconvenience some aviation uses. This is the only time this would be done for the event. If any runway markings are damaged, the car club will be responsible for repainting them. b. Iowa city Community Bchool District lease - renewal: O'Neil stated that this is a one year lease with options for additional years, and must be approved annually. Blum made a motion for a resolution to approve the lease with the Iowa city School District. Horan seconded the motion and at roll call vote, the motion passed 5 - O. , . \: ~ " Ii, I!

Though the hangars are leased to ICFS and they sublease them, the Commission owns the buildings and is responsible for assuring the hangars are rented on a nondiscriminating basis. Ockenfels and Foster will continue to work on the policy. E.K. Jones stated that the Commission divested their interest in the T-hangars when they leased them to ICFS in 1982 and they should not concern themselves with the way the hangars are leased. Blum said the rCFS lease also states that the hangars must be rented on a fair basis. He said that the reason the Commission was discussing the hangar rental policy was because the question had been raised of discrimination in leasing. Jones stated that if the Commission did not think he was running a fair and ethical business, they could talk to his attorney. The Commission members attempted to convince Jones to discuss the issues, but he left abruptly. 2) The sample lease for the T-hangars was discussed. The sample lease written by NATA can be used, with some modifications. This will be discussed at the August Commission meeting. 3) The Commission received a request from rCFS to raise the rent for the T-hangars by $ 10 per hangar per month. The reason given by rCFS for aSking for an increase was because the arbitration in 1992 changed the rent structure. There was considerable discussion with Eliot Jones on what is fair market value for the hangars and what motivation ICFS has for aSking for the rent increase. Jones and O'Neil will contact other airports to determine what an average price is for hangars. The Commission asked Jones to provide information on what his increased costs are. This will be an agenda item at the August meeting. ,I Ii~~ -"~ vr - , , - ~~- ""'9\....-~ ...-'.....-- (~" ~f /~:;I ' h .~:';.Ig: ,',;.', "":"': ~ --:--. '. . -' r--.-. : . ", 1 ,I d. Hangar Duilding: O'Neil has received estimates for aT-hangar building varying from $ 120,000 to $ 200,000. There have been several inquires and requests for more hangar space at the Airport. O'Neil will get more information and this will be an agenda item at the August meeting. e. Fly-in Breakfast - August 29, 1993: Blum reminded the Commission that this is the 75th year of the Iowa City Airport at the current location. He suggested the Commission may want to do ' something special to commemorate this anniversary. The Commission is responsible for the paper airplane contest. This is an extremely popular event and requires one of the Commission members to supervise it. Horan said he will help but will need assistance. f. AlP Project 3-19-0047-03: O'Neil stated that the grant for the study has not been closed. Coffman Associates have completed the requirements of their contract and have been paid. Hicks made a motion for a resolution to accept the study by Coffman Associates and complete the grant, pending review and acceptance by the FAA. Foster seconded the motion and at roll call vote, the motion passed 5 - O. CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT: No items were presented. COMMISSION MEMBERS' REPORT: Blum said he thought, considering the short notice, the fire works event went quite well. O'Neil had the opposite opinion. He advised the commission that the clean up was not at all adequate and because of the heavy rains, the vehicles left ruts in the grass parking areas. The people organizing the event did not follow through with the promises they made for not parking on the grass if it was too wet and for cleaning up all debris afterwards. O'Neil said it was a violation of FAA grant assurances to close the Airport for a non-aviation use without prior FAA approval. He advised against holding the event at the Airport again. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT: O'Neil said the lOOT will have a flight simulator at the Iowa city Fly-in Breakfast on August 29. O'lIeil said there was interest in the commercial property at the northeast corner of the Airport property. This should be pursued.

Wilson suggested "timely press releases" targeting the environmental aspect of Issues of city-wide Interest. Seiberling praised The Gazette reporter, Tom Walsh for his coverage of environmental Issues and recommended him as a contact. The Commission discussed working with local media to educate the public about vital environmental issues. , Pfohl recommended the Commission take a proactive role during the flood clean-up.

Denney stated the goal could be written as "Coordinete river clean-up and restoration activities with the Stanley Plan." RIVER CORRIDOR TRAIL UPDATE: 1. Iowa Avenue to Burlineton Street. Denney stated he met with Rick Fosse and Mike Jackson of Iowa DOT. Because the sidewalk is being called a trail Iowa DOT representatives in Ames are requiring that a concrete jersey barrier be provided where the walk is closer that five feet to the road. Wilson and Denney reviewed the sidewalk plans subsequent to this meeting and think it may be possible to get the five foot separation. A meeting with Fosse is planned. If it is not feasible to get the separation the DOT will be approached about whether a barrier other than e jersey wall could be used. Mike Jackson sail that the City could build the Six foot walk under the previously issued permit. 2~ IMU Bridee to Iowa Avenue. The consultant hired by the City to design the underpass of the CRANDIC bridge has come back with a recommendation to construct a concrete slab on piers. The design also included a concrete canopy to protect the trail from ballast and other debris from the railroad. The University had some reservations about the design, especially the aesthetics of it. They agreed to offer some alternatives for the consultant to review. 3. JCCOG Stud v Items. Flooding has prevented work on these items. 4. Kennedv's Waterfront Addition. Denney said the developer has received a permit from the Corps of Engineers to fill along the bank of Sand Lake and to build a causeway. Denney added that the developer is preparing a revised preliminary plat which includes an easement for the trail. UPDATE ON DEVELOPMENT ITEMS: Denney reported the annexation and zoning proposal for the Sycamore Farms addition will be heard in September, as previously reported, but that a proposal for a conservation eesement will be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission at its meetings on July 26 and 29. Denney said both the developer and the City proposed an easement to protect the environmentally sensitive area but neither proposal allowed for public access to the area. Pfohl stated concern was expressed at a Neighborhood Meeting about public access at Whispering Meadow. Pfohl related the concern for public parking facilities. Wilson agreed thet the "Hawkeye Marsh" should be protected; Denney seld the developer wants to reserve the right to use the land for storm water retention or stables. Wilson expressed concern about mitigating the effects of development on the wetlands. The Commission discussed releted zoning and development Issues such as street patterns and lot sizing. Denney stated thet Part I of the Windsor Ridge development shows extensive trail systems thet connect to Scott Park and a potential school site. He added It appears a precedent Is starting as far as trail planning In new developments. /7J.5 1 , " I, II 'I' I 'I ", " I~' I' I, i;' :i [; I, II , , Ii I' I I II ,I I ,< 'I ;1 " , .

Rockwell is drafting an extensive and thoughtful tree preservation ordinance. Otto stated Rockwell plans to present the final draft to the entire Commission. Seiberling added that Rockwell is gathering information about other cities' tree ordinances. She stated that Sioux City has one of the best ordinances as far as providing scientific and visual education about trees. Seiberling said it will take a while to define terms and determine which trees are valuable. Wilson said he felt the focus of the meeting with Rockwell was on trees in public areas. He reintroduced the idea of educating private citizens about tree preservation. Hinkel emphasized that the ordinance will be for the City. Pfohl suggested the Commission recommend the schools include information about tree preservation in their K-6 science curriculum which is being rewritten. The Commission brainstormed other ways to educate citizens about tree preservation. Denney added that the staff is concerned about implementing and enforcing a tree ordinance with existing staff. Seiberling responded that there needs to be development of a community consciousness which may come about through the Heritage Tree project. F.I.R.S.T. REPORT: Dahms reported that F.I.R.S.T. has received IRS tax-exempt status that means any contributions are tax-deductibla. He said they are gearing up for the Second Annual F./.R.S.T. Community Bike and Hike on Septamber 26. Dahms stated the lack of actual trail construction is a disappointment. On the othar hand, he addad, the group is working on a newslattar, a mailing list and has worked on concapt plans with landmark Engineering and the Stanley Plan. Dahms stated that funding is the major challenge ahaad. Wilson commended Dahms for single-handedly working for tax-exemption.

SCC MINUTES PAGE 2 There was discussion and questions about the phrase "assist City Manager in the evaluation of personnel". Geasland and Meisel explained that this was a holdover from the early days before Atkins became City Manager and was left in as a symbol that any concerns or problems with staff could and should be taken to Steve Atkins, City Manager. Krause suggested that the statistics in the report would be more meaningful if there were comparisons with other years. He suggested using several key ratios, i.e., cost of all visits per number of professional staff. He said he would work with Meisel In developing these for next year. Anciaux requested that the section Facility Improvement include "ADA slgnage". Muller moved that the annual report to the City Council be approved. Gode seconded. Motion carried, all ayes. PEGL UPDATE AND GOALS- Rogusky Rogusky explained that ,PEGL is a representative group of Individuals from Public Access, Educational Consortium, Government, and Library television channels. They have been meeting for two years to prepare for the refranchislng now occurring and all submitted proposals which were included in the City's Request for Proposal to TCI of Eastern Iowa. Rogusky said until recently we did not know they existed. Now that we do know, she has been going to their meetings and as a consequence they know of SCTV's existence. She said this has been beneficial. Rogusky explained the background on the provisions of the cable act of 1984. When Cable TV first came to Iowa City, the City demanded and received money to provide access channels and to run them. She ~ Ii :i II' If H 1"1 I; I: ; " I ',' I !/ I i , , ; " ;( 17~ "I/IIIIf//("". - ~ ..,-----..- --".....'-a ~-,~".-. I ' "", ' , :,' n" ' ./-1 ' '~-f ,',q ',,' '" , ' ',; _,',',. ,'J '. ',~t...' , '. ~', ,', see MINUTES PAGE 3 said the lump sum of money the City received was and is used to provide oversight, which is Drew Shaffer's responsibility, and to fund the government access channel. She said the library also receives a large part of the money. She said at one time public access got a direct grant from the cable company to run their channel, Rogusky explained that 3 years ago the cable company took away their support and public access formed its own corporation. Rogusky said they continue to get equipment from the cable company but at the end of this year all the money going to them will be cut off. Rogusky stated that what she has learned from attending the PEGL meetings is that the future of cable looks dim. She said one of the reasons this group is meeting is to figure out a way to continue to provide access with less dollars and support. Rogusky said there are new technologies on the the horizon which will become available in the next few years which will eliminate the need to be a cable subscriber if one so chooses. She mentioned a direct broadcast satellite (a small satellite dish which would fit on a windowsill) and the coming involvement of the telephone companies who are not regulated by the cable act so they will not have to pay monies to cities to bring television in. Rogusky stressed that this refranchislng is probably the last time that a lump sum of money from the cable company to provide community access will be available. Rogusky said no monies for access comes from the City's general fund. It all comes from franchise fees (the City gets 5%) and from whatever the City is able to negotiate from the cable company. This 5% will decrease with the satellite capability and as other options become available. Rogusky said there is no problem with channel availability, but there will be no money for operations. Rogusky said one idea or dream being considered by the PEGL group is a center where all members combine and share resources.

" , .' . , ' . .. -, .', ,- ~. . .' , ,- / SCC MINUTES PAGE 4 the reality Is that everyone will continue doing what they are doing now and will figure out a way to continue doing it. She feels that everyone is willing to share equipment. Rogusky said the government is willing to share their staff and technically they have to do that for City departments, but not for the educational consortium. She added that at this point the library is not sure what they will do. Rogusky said no matter what happens, SCTV will continue doing what they are doing now. Rogusky asked the Commission to read over the SCTV mission statement and goals to see if they agree with It. Rogusky and Meisel emphasized that the number one goal Is an SCTV channel because it would serve as an information and educational channel on senior issues, programs, and activities. No other access channel serves the elderly in this way. The next most important goals are equipment as needed for a quality product and services of a professional City employee who will supervise a work study student and coordinate SCTV volunteers. Rogusky stressed that the City does not have to put the money they receive into access television. She said Coralville uses their money for streets and it is possible that the City Council may decide to do something else with the money also. She concluded by saying that she hoped the Commission would support the SCTV mission statement and their goals just as they have always supported SCTV by providing equipment to use. Peters moved that the Commission support the mission statement and goals of Senior Center Television as outlined. (See attached.) Anciaux seconded. Motion carried, all ayes. , , . : , .'

SCC MINUTES PAGE 5 SENIOR CENTER UPDATE - Meisel Meisel said thanks to the City Council's appropriation of $5000 for the Center's 10th anniversary, we were able to obtain and publish a 1 0 year anniversary booklet, a new brochure and get new stationery all using a new logo designed by Judi Waterman, graphic artist. Meisel said all three publications were entered in a Mature Media contest and all three won awards. A press release and the award letter have been included In the City Council packet. Meisel reported that the folding cot has been purchased and is presently in the Golf Room for anyone who might need it. Meisel said that Steve Atkins had asked for a delay In discussing Muller's parking request letter. The Commission agreed that delaying to mid.August was no problem. Meisel said the Transportation Survey was written and submitted to Kevin Doyle, Assistant Transportation Planner, for his evaluation, It will be revised as needed and printed in the September POST and perhaps other media also, Meisel asked the Commission to consider a philosophical question relating to the Center's image and the Garden Goodness Market volunteer program. She explained that Rogusky had a lot of difficulty obtaining volunteers to pick up the left over produce from the Wednesday evening Farmers' Market. Those who did volunteer told by vendors that they had been asked for produce by the Crisis Center, Emergency Housing and Free Lunch. She said that staff had discussed this issue and their conclusion Is that the program itself does not enhance the Image of seniors or The Center. To the contrary, it reinforces the belief that seniors are always expecting handouts. Meisel said the numbers of seniors taking advantage of the program which includes day-old bread from other vendors had decreased every year and lately only about 20 people come each Thursday morning.

Meisel said staff is in favor of eliminating the program, considering the lack of volunteers interested, the image problem for the Center as a "place for. poor people", and competing with agencies with a greater need. Anciaux, who was one of the founders of the Garden Goodness program several years ago, expressed her disagreement with Meisel's proposal. She said the other agencies did not pick up the produce and that she did not agree with Meisel's assessment of the seniors who participate. She said she knew many of the vendors and they wanted to donate their excess produce at the end of the Wednesday evening Farmers Market. Meisel reiterated that Garden Goodness volunteers had reported that other groups who have a greater need are picking up the produce and added that it is demeaning for seniors to be begging for handouts. Geasland said if there are not volunteers to continue the program, the program will not go on. She suggested letting the program run its course this year. There was a general discussion on the program's merits and drawbacks. Geasland pointed out that the program has changed and suggested the members of the Commission come and observe and that Anciaux do some investigating. COMMISSION BUSINESS .

We want our own channel sQ that. it will be Identified with the Sanior Canter, but we would be happy to have everyone (City, PATIJ, educational staff) use it to gat their message out to older citizens. 2. We would be glad to share our equipment when needed with City, PATIJ or educa- tional staff if our crew had equal access to 'equipment owned by these bodies. However, this would be contingent on SCTIJ having funds made available to them to purchase and replace equipment through the negotiations with TCI. 3. Since we asked to share a full.time employee hired by City TV, we obviously h'ave no problem with staffing coming from outside the Center. As long as policy and philosophy for our channel and programming come from Senior Centar staff, Commission and volunteers, we welcome technical advice from anyona., .ctMillion.ld ., ',1 I , I i, " !

Needless to say, we were most pleased for the full support of these persons for the proposal to post "No-Parking" signs on the nortllSide of Glendale Road between Ashwood and Heather arid center sides of Glendale Circle and Glendale Terrace, and "No-Parking 8-5" signs on the southside of Glendale Road and on Glendale Circle and Glendale Terrace. Approval of the Glendale Neighborhood Group's proposal, as endorsed by the City Traffic Department with the support of both the Police and Fire Deparhnents, should ameliorate the present unsafe conditions currently existing for children using the walkway between Glendale Circle and Glendale Terrace to walk to Hoover Elementary and City High. Furthermore, it will permit access for fire, ambulance and city service vehicles to our neighbors and homes on tile affected street as well as on Heather Drive and Heather Circle immediately east whose access to fire, ambulance, and other city services have been seriously compromised by the parking of students on both sides of Glendale Road. Ie I ! I I ! , , 1 I, , f f As discussed at the meeting of Wednesday, August 18, posting of signs on both sides of the affected streets wllI also eliminate tlle current use of Glendale Road as drag strip by students who enjoy the unobstructed lengtll of the road from 7t1l Avenue to Heather Drive. Furthermore, such postings, as noted by the City High ' athletic director, should have little or no affect on citizens of our community . accustomed to parking on those streets during sports events for at least two reasons: (1) After 5pm parking would sliIl be permitted and (2) for baseball and other sports that begin about 3:30pm, persons can park at City High where Dr. Vernon, principal of City High, Indicated there are at least 250 spots. We hope to have each of your votes at the upcoming council meeting in support of the proposed ordinances recommended by tile city's traffic engineers and supported by the representatives of the City High community.
