Courtney/ "Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery" Day
Dau SmithlI am a Lt. with the Iowa City Fire Department and on behalf of the Fire
Department tonight I would like to thank the mayor and the rest of the council
for dlis proclamation, I would like to re-emphasize the fact that smoke
detectors do indeed save lives and we sincerely hope that everyone would heed
this advice. When you change your clock, change your battery. Thanks.
Courtney/ Thank you.
Kubby/ And I would like to encourage people to get re-chargeable batteries so that we
have less toxic household waste in our landfill. So spend a little extra when
you need new batteries and get rechargeable.

Courtney/ "Alpha Phi Omega Service Day 1993"
Jennifer Dawson! Vice President of Service for Alpha Phi Omega. First of all I
would like to thank you for the proclamation. Just as kind of a little bit of
background about Alpha Phi Omega we are a community service fratemity at
the University, We are dedicated to providing service for the University and
the community and tlle nation, National Service Day is a very important day
for us because it is a day when the national office gives us a particular tlleme
to carry out a service project. Each chapter tllfoughout the nation is charged
with providing their own personal project to carry out the theme. This year
we are kind of going beyond the nonnal bounds and doing something a little
interesting and we are doing a human AIDS quilt. I don't know how many of
you are aware of the NAMES Project. But it is a quilt tl18t is currently touring
the United States and about two months ago it came to the University ofIowa
and the quilt is basically a tribute to all the persons who have dies of AIDS
related causes. We have decided to do a take off ofthis although we are not
affiliated with the NAMES Project. What we are doing is on November 6
between the times of ten o'clock and noon we are going to be replicating the
quilt on Hubbard Park. We are going to be making this out of members of the
community. What we are going to be doing is fonning the different quilt
blocks witll persons in the community and in the center of each quilt box we
are going to have the names of persons who have died of AIDS related causes
and also infonnation about AIDS awareness. So, I stand here tonight just to
invite each one of you individually to come and participate in this. I have
given a copy of our flier to tlle City Clerk and hopefully you will take a
moment to look at that. If you are interested in participating please we love to
have them-the pillars of our community come out and participate in this, And
also if you cannot participate we would love to have you come and spectate it.
Thank you.
Courtney/ Thank you.

Courtney/ Moved by McD, seconded by Nov. Discussion.
Kubby/ Monica, would you review in a nutshell what stall's recommendation was.
Moen/ When the application originally came in it was a request to rezone the property
to CC-2 which is a more intensive zone than the CO-I zone. The application
was subsequently amended. So the original staff report was based upon the
application for CC-2. The memo soft seIls a little bit or down plays the
objections to the CO- I request but we did have concerns about the fact that
there could be additional requests for commercial development east of this
particular site and that line had been placed there to separate residential from
commercial uses, But the CO- I zone is definitely a less intensive zone that is
often used as a transition between more intensive commercial and lower density
residential uses,
Horow/ I appreciate Karen asking that question. As I said before this particular issue
has a history or this particular part of Kirkwood Avenue has a history in tenus
of the neighbors being concerned of encroaching commercial development.
However in this particular regard the applicant has gone to greater lengths in
tenus of involving the neighbors around and there has been no comment fonu
the neighbors against tllis, So within this regard I will support tllis,
Kubby/ Although sometimes I know that we make decisions based on the particular
business that is going to be there in the short TUn but we have an obligation in
rezoning to look at what all the possible uses could be and in that respect I
have some hesitation, But because of the business that it is I believe that it
will be a long teon site for that business. I feel comfortable doing it and
probably would not allow further encroachment.
Horow/ I appreciate that.
Courtney/ Any other discussion.
RoIl caIl-
The ordinance passes first consideration.

Courtney! Open the public hearing on this item,
Charlie Eastham! I am currently serving as president ofthe Greater Iowa City
Housing Fellowship and I would just like to make a very few comments about
the CHAS from the viewpoint of our organization which is a non profit
affordable housing provider, First I would like to begin by saying we very
much appreciate tile considerable time, effort and talent that the staff of the
Community Planning Division has put in the preparation of this documeut. I
view it as a very compreheusive, well prepared, well written, and quite useful
document. I would also like to say that I personally think that this document,
although it is a mandated plan, has been very much a continuation of a process
began in 1990 by the city manager when he convened tile Affordable Housing
Task Force. I think this process is continuing tluough today and will continue
into the future in large part as a result of this infonnation contained in the
proposed CHAS, From the view point ofthe Housing Fellowship and from
my own view point I think the CHAS contains both an excellent
comprehensive and accurate assessment of the needs ofthe various categories
and types of affordable housing in the city, I tllink it would be extremely
useful to our future as we apply for federal funding, state funding and by
allowing us to quickly reference the document and establish a need,
Furthennore, in my mind, the CHAS correctly establishes the priorities that
tile community needs to follow in providing affordable housing. It is a very
important issue and one which is not always easy to arrive at. Second and
last, I think the CHAS identifies some very critical issues that we need to
address over the coming few months and several years in tenns of site
acquisition, site availability and the necessary to continue the begiuning steps
that we have all taken in public private partnerships. Again I would like to
very much express our appreciation to the staff for the tremendous amount of
effort and dedication shown in preparation of the document and to thank the
council to contemplate adopting it.
Courtney! Any other comments on this item.
Close the public hearing.
McD! I have one request and it is from Marianne, You don't have to respond to this
Marianne. Between quarter to seven this morning and six o'clock tonight I
heard six different reports on the radio about your report given to us last night
and all six

were different. In fact, I was wondering after a couple of them is I was in the
same meeting. So maybe in the fhture maybe you ought to print up your press
release first and submit it before we sit around and talk abut it. I haven't seen
today's paper yet. But r don't know what you said in print but r thought it
was very interesting tllat.these are from local radio stations.
Courtney/ None of whom were here last night to listen.
McD/ How each report that I heard from all day long differed fonn what I thought
you actually presented and what actually took place last night. So I can
imagine some of the comments you will be receiving, probably, if you haven't
already started receiving them today.
Kubby/ I have a question for Marianne. It is one I left on voice mail. On page 48 it
references that we have legislation against certain types of discrimination,
source of income being one of them and I had thought-and it references in the
CHAS that Section 8 can be viewed as a source of income but I thought legally
that that is not tlle case,
Milkman/ That is correct. TIlat is a-the tenninology is wrong there. It should be
source of rent ratller than source of income. That landlords may not
discriminate against persons just because part of their rent is going to come
through some federal assistance program. However, of course, landlords
always have the option of not wishing to be part of the program because of all
the paper work involved and so on.
Kubby/ right. So in this section is it saying that the city has attempted to include in
it's Human Rts. ordinance source of rent as a category that cannot be
discriminated.
Milkman! Yes, I believe that is correct. I am going to have to check that. I didn't
get a chance to look at that today.
Kubby/ I know that we talked about it at one point but.
Helling! TIle current ordinance does include public assistance source of income or
something-
Kubby/ Right, source of income but when we discussed it at one point with Linda
about people are being turned away solely because the source of the money for
their rent will come from the subsidized housing program and that is indeed
not against our Human Rts. ordinance.
Milkman/ I think the problem is that there is a very fine line between saying you
don't want somebody because they receive

assistance or you don't want someone because you don't want to get involve
with this government program which you feel is going to create more work for
you.
Kubby/ The question is that we never have really dealt with it. I am not sure that we
ask the question.
Gentry/ You will eventually get it. The entire code, that chapter, is being rewritten
and as Marianne says, as a practical matter it may be.even if we include it in
tllere that you can't deny against public assistance recipients, you may have
trouble as a practical matter proving the difference.
Kubby/ So is that going to be an issue discussed with the review?
Gentry/ You will not be getting that in your, the first stage of your code update. That
will be separate. So YOll will have ample time to discuss that.
Karr/ That recommendation is coming tlrrough the Human Rights Commission directly
and that will be to you.
Kubby/ And not through you.
Karr/ That's correct.
Kubby/ Thanks.
Milkman/ Can Ijust respond to John's comments, very briefly. I think we covered a
huge amount of ground last night, both from you and from me. I think that
when we put together the agenda that tlle city manager suggested we do in two
or three weeks and we can lay it out for everybody and hopefully get
everybody writing about the same tlling,
McD/ Have a little bit better understanding.
Horow/ Marianne, I would like to ask on page two under the one year annual plan
under the second paragraph where it says in addition support facilities and
services will be continued to be provided. I am assuming that this is not all
inclusive because I wrote down neighborhood centers, police department, Iowa
City School District, etc. Is this all inclusive.
Milkman!rhese are the agencies basically that provide supportive housing in some
way or anotller. .others-
Horow/ What I was trying to get to was the support services and that is what I had
interpreted the words 'support facilities and services' because that, too, is
important. For instance, when Charlie was talking about applying for grants,
Having the compendium of support services that are both needed and capable
of being supplied certainly gives a more realistic picture of the imp [act.

Courtney! City Councillnfonnation
Kubby! One short item, Every year about this time we get an annual energy use report
and I think it is real important to highlight some ofthe city's efforts to
conserve ener!,'Y which also saves money. We have had this program since
1980 and what we do with tlle money tllat we save from energy bills is
reinvested in making our facilities even more energy efficient. And each
building is looked at each year to see how well they are doing in tenns of
energy efficiency so we can really hone in on where we can do better. We
saved almost $3 million in energy costs since 1980. This year alone we saved
$282,521 which is a lot of money which means we can use that money for that
fund again and these energy savings have surpassed the total expenditures from
that fund, We don't spend all the money from those savings in tenns of
reinvesting it in our facilities, What happens to the excess. Does it go into
the general fund.
Helling! The savings would accumulate in each department or division, So if it is
general fimded fonn the general fund then that is where the money would go,
If it is funded from an enterprise fund of course it would accumulative to that
fund.
Kubby! Overall our energy efficiency in city buildings have increased 41 % since 1980
and that is a lot and so I want to applaud the departments that have done better
and ask the departments that have not done as well as last year have Jim come
to your department and see what is going on. And not just the city but I think
it is important to talk about these issues in tenns of how new structures are
being built. In yonr work places talk to the people who are in charge of your
facilities, Look at your home. It is something that everybody can do better.
Nov! I have two things. I went to the flood meeting with tlle Corps of Engineers and
Jim Leach and got a lot of interesting infonnation and the two local professors
who proposed a new system to the Corps of Engineers are being given their
due. Jim Leach said the Corps of Engineers will consider their ideas and
perhaps adopt them. That was nice news.
Also I went to the American Legion Regional meeting on Saturday
representing tlle mayor and I got a very interesting observation on their
programs for teens. They are of course doing the oratory contest and the essay
contest for kid's scholarships but some of their regional auxiliaries have
fonned team jury systems and I thought tllat was an interesting idea

that we might by to explore here. The teams review the crime with other
teams and sentence them to some sort of human service and among the
sentence is always jury duty for somebody else.
Kubby/ Sometimes their sentences are much harsher than a judge rules.
Nov/ It is a very interesting concept. And because we have heard of some problems
recently with teens who have been law breakers and maybe haven't done
anything quite serious yet I think this might be a good deterrent and doesn't
sound terribly expensive, So, can we look into it.
Atkins/ I'll find out more,
McD/ A couple of comments. Unfortunately tonight this is the last meeting of one of
our colleagues. I would like to make a couple of comments concerning that
individual. It has been my privilege and pleasure to serve with him for ten
years. I have had the opportunity over the past 12 years to serve with a lot of
good people and he is one of the best tIlat I have had that opportunity to serve
with. He has been a good friend and a good ally and I think that the years that
he has devoted and the commitment that he made ten years ago this community
is better off today because of it. He served as our mayor. He was an
outstanding mayor and I for one and I think all of us wish him well in the
future. He will be missed but I think the most important thing-Mr. Ambr. you
have served your community well, Thank you very much.
Courtney/ I think John said it very well, I would like to look at this. It kind of
marks the beginning of the end of a long official relationship that Bill and John
and myself have served many years together. Through the Jaycees and the
Chamber and P/Z and the council. And I, too, want to than k him for the
service, the mentoring he did for me the first two years, I didn't know a
whole heck of a lot but I did learn a lot. I am going to let Bill take over and
then I will come hack to another item.
Ambr.l Since I announce my retirement in August I have discovered pleasantly that I
have become popular with a segment of society that I didn't realize t1mt I
would. In fact just the other day Gary Sanders waved at me....I had a reporter
ask me this morning what are you going to do with a1l of your time. I said
that well I am going to finish my book. He says tllat I didn't realize that you
were writing one. I said no, I am reading one.

Mr, Mayor and council if I may declare a special privilege, I would like to
have my best friend come to the podium.
Carly Ambrisco/ To the city council and citizens of Iowa City, since this is my last
fonnal council meeting I wish to express my appreciation to each of you. To
the 13 council members with whom I have served thank you for your patience,
your tolerance, your insights, your oversights, your influence on me and most
importantly your friendship, All of this has added much to my life experience
and I know that I am a better person because of you. To the city staff and all
rank and file public employees ofIowa City, you are some of the finest people
with whom I have ever worked, You are dedicated, professional, caring and
above all you take pride in tile high caliber of service you render. Thank you
for being so helpful to me when I came to you for advice, assistance, a citizen
complaint or a compliment. I am proud to have served with you. To al fiends
who worked on my three campai!,'lls tllat sent me here, I thank you. To all
who voted for me I am grateful. To each of you who did not I sincerely regret
and apologize for my inability to convince you I was a councilor for all
people. Thanks anyway for being tolerant of my views. Recently Money
Magazine ranked Iowa City 161 among tlleir most livable cities designation.
We can easily raise our position to be #1 in America by adding a few
improvements. We should construct a city wide bike path network, add some
more soccer fields, a municipal golf course, and register twice as many
republicans. I predict that all of these events will come to pass at about the
same time hell freezes over. While I take sabbatical from public service I
intend to stay in touch and infonned. 1 am not certain 1 will seek elected
public office again. However I would !,~ve serious consideration if an
appointment were offered in 1997 by president elect Jack Kemp. Whatever the
future holds for me I offer my sincere best wishes to one and all. Sincerely,
Bill Ambrisco, Iowa City Councilor, 1983.1993. Welcome home, daddy.
Horow/ That is good.
Courtney/ Before the council meeting I held a brief press conference, I want to go
through that especially since we get to do it during prime time tonight.
Usually by the time we get to this section we are at 10:30 or 11:00. We have
hinted at and talked a little bit about the committee that has been fonned for

restoration of City Park. And the committee has had It's second
meeting now and we are well Into our planning stages for how
we are going to go about raising some funds. There has been a
lot of figures thrown around about the amount of damage to
City Park. Bit the one that the committee Is working with Is
about $317,000 and when you throw Terrill Mill and Crandlc
Park In there we get up around $400,000 for our damages.
FEMA has as much as told us that they won't cover all of It and
we know that there are some Items that FEMA doesn't cover no
matter where they go. And we tried to put a good estimate
upon how much that Is going to come to and we have rounded
It off to around $150,000 Is what Is not going to be covered by
state or federal sources. Now we can walt for our tax asklngs
and delay some other projects and take up the slack through
the city budget over several years to get this project done. But
as I have talked to the people In the community I sense that
the need and urgency by the citizens to start this project now.
This Is a landmark park. It Is the biggest, the oldest and people
that drive by there can't believe what It looks like. So, I just
feel like we have a need to raise some funds from both the
private and the corporate sectors. SO this committee has been
formed. We have several organizations Involved In It. The
actual money flow will be done through the P/R Foundation
which Is an organization which has been In existence for a few
years. It hasn't been terribly active but Is all In place with Its
503C designation which means that all the donations will be tax
deductible. Boy's Baseball Is Involved, Project Green Is goIng to
be heavIly Involved as they always are when It comes to thIngs
that Involve parks and trees and greenery and I certainly
appreciate them joinIng In the effort. The first things that are
going to happen In your next utility bill In November there will
be a letter Included which I would just like to quickly read
especially for the folks that don't get utility bill that Is paid by
somebody else possibly:
As you undoubtedly know by City Park, Terrill Mill Park
and Crandlc Park were devastated by the flood of '93. The City
of Iowa City Is committed to restoring these facilities but there
Is a great deal to be done and you can help. A special fund
raising committee has been established through the office of
the mayor and Is charged with raising $150,000 to be applied

Courtney/Youth baseball complex, repairing park shelters, parking
lots, picnic tables, barbecue grills, playground equipment, park
benches, etc., restoring the turf areas and a number of other
necessary repairs. With your help these parks can be restored
much more quickly and efficiently. If you would like to make
a tax deductible contribution please make your checks payable
to the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Foundation and enclose It
with your city utility payment or mall It to Parks and
Recreation Foundation, In care of Robert E. Lee Community

Remember, no contribution was too small. If you have other
questions or would like further Information feel free to call any

Recreation Director; Darrel Courtney, Mayor; Bill Brandt, Parks
and Recreation Foundation; John Beasley, Parks and Recreation
Foundation; Mat+- pel r.ht:L.o ,Parks and Recreation Foundation.
Secondly there will be a letter go to local businesses In the
community. We are discussing a possibility of a phone
solicitation campaign. Local service clubs, I have already been
contacted by two to come and speak to them. I expect to hear
from more of them. One of the service clubs has been talking
about adopting a baseball diamond themselves. I have heard
form a concert pianists from California who Is offering to come
In and do a benefit concert. This Is part of our Santa Rosa
connection. As sort of a sideline here there Is a lot of talk and
speculation about what Is to happen with the Drollinger
family's carnival rides In the park and there was some word
that came out that they were going to quit doing that. A long
conversation with Guy Drollinger last night. It appears the
busIness Is to be saved and past on to the next generation and I
certainly applaud them for that. That has been a long tradition
and I don't think the park would be the same without it.
Possibilities of helping with that. The trailer that was there
was destroyed and we are talking about a building to be
similar to the other shelters In the park to be used for the
ticket sales and the concession as a permanent facility rather

than the temporary one that was always there. It certaInly
appears that they are going to be able to put thIngs back
together. The committee Is welcoming all efforts and projects
that anyone In the community Is wanting to undertake. We
only ask that you schedule these projects and efforts through
the committee and clear them with them. If you are going to
use our name In a parks restoration effort we want to be
certain that the projects are polItically correct Is the way we
termed it. We don't want the wrong things being done to raise
the money for the right purposes. Again all donations are tax
deductible. That is It in a nutshell and I wllI be updating as
time goes on. The most frequent question I got today Is there a
time frame on this. The answer is no. We are going to continue
on with these efforts until the goal is met. I would Ilke to and I
don't normally single out anyone form the press because I get
In trouble but Mike Wagner did a whaie of a job on Channel 9
tonight. If anyone didn't see that I hope they replay it at 10
o'clock because it was an excellent piece.
Kubby! If you decide to do the phone sollcltatlon I would be willing
to help with that.
Pigott! So would I.
Courtney! Hopefully it won't come to that. The money will come
flowing In and we won't have to put people on the telephone.
Nov! I think every child who ever played In city park and has any
ties to It will send a check.
Courtney! I don't want to steal people's thunder but I have been
contacted by lots of folks and there Is some really neat things
going on out there. Some excellent offers. Lastly I was out of
town all weekend but I understand we had another visit from
our friends in Santa Rosa and I didn't get to go down and talk
to the kids but I understand there was a group of people that
came In and helped with the clean up of the trailer courts.
Again, do you know how many there was.
Atkins! No I don't.
McD! I thought they said 12.
Courtney! I knew that they were coming. My understanding while I
was out there was that these folks went out a raised the money
for the train trip themselves and wanted to come in and help
out whenever they can and go back and that Is what they did.
I think it Is another case of the ongoing support efforts that are
going on out there.

Courtney/ Moved by Nov, seconded by Horow. Discussion.
Kubby/ Dale, do we interview labor relations finns. Or did we this time especially
since there was an increase in price, Like we do, for example in the next item
with the engineering finn we interviewed people to decide who can meet our
needs and negotiate the price.
Helling! No we don't. We have used this same individual for 12-13 years and part of
the reason we do it is for the continuity. I think his rates are competitive,
They may be higher tlUIII some and lower than others but we have never gone
out and bid in tenns of price or interviewed other finns. Up to now I think
the cOllncil apparently and ceHainly we as staff have been more than satisfied
with Steve's services. It is something we could do if so directed.
Nov/ Can you tell us what $25 is in a percentage increase,
Helling! Going from $125 to $150.
Gentry/ Not for a labor specialty.
Nov/ 20% is-
Kubby/ I think 1 am making big bucks when I make $25 hour doing repair work.
Horow/In '77 I was making $100 an hour.
Pigott! But the percentage increase is high despite the fact that for a lawyer the $150
may not be high billable hours. Still the increased percentage is.
Gentry/ How long has it been Dale since-
HelIing! Two years and there is tllat hourly rate applies but there is a cap for the tlrree
contracts and that is going up from $1750 to $1950. So that is $2000 on
$1750 which is a much lower percentage than a20% increase,
Kubby/ I think it is important that that cap be there. I think it really protects tile city.
HelIing! And we have always had tllat. That is through mediation for three contracts.
Kubby/ Even though we may be very satisfied with the services that it doesn't hurt
maybe to tllink abut interviewing otller people to see what else is out there. If
you have someone for so long you get a tendency to not do that. We may end
up with tlIis person saying we have been lucky all of these years-
Horow/ Karen, this is interesting because this past year in at least a couple of
occasions at Iowa Leg. meetings and National Leg. meetings I have had the
occasion to discuss or at least this

person's name has been mentioned and I have been very please with the
comments. So.
Kubby/That is not what I am talking about.
Horow/ I know. You are talking about the bidding process but I tllink for continuity
purposes and for what the person has done I have n problems with it.
Kubby/ I just think the question needs to be raised.
Pigott! It is not a bad thought at all to-in tenns of continuity and in tenns of other city
services the bidding process applies, Why not here as well,
Nov/ There is some value in comparison shopping which is basically what you are
saying. But if you hire somebody new, even though the rate may be lower per
hour the hours may be more because they haven't as much background. In the
end you may not have saved anything.
Kubby/ In any case.I think the idea of having the cap is a good idea and that we
should do that with whatever. I just needed t bring this up because it has been
that long and I think it is important to review our policies and decide if we
want to stay with it or do sometlting else. It is fairly inconsistent with how we
do almost any other consultant service that we pay for,
Atkins/ Not necessarily. I think you have to be cautious. We nonnally don't bid
professional services.
Kubby/ But we do many times interview more than company to shop around to make
sure. We might interview three different.the next item is an example where
we interviewed three different engineering firms and found one that we thought
would meet our services. They may not have been the cheapest but they
would have been the best of the three interviewed. In that sense- I wouldn't
want to do a bid process. I am saying the interview process to see what is out
there.
Gentry/ The one thing that you want to guard against is paying for someone to
educate tllemselves.
Pigott! That is one of the factors you could consider when going through that process
is to say well tltis person has been here for a long time and just do the sopping
or whatever.
Courtney/ I think you should all take a very close look at this next year,
Gentry/ And no doubt we will.
Courtney/ Any other discussion,
Roll call.

Courtney/ Moved by McD, seconded by Horow. Discussion,
Horow/ Is this the amended-
Courtney/ We have one in front of us.
Gentry/ Yes, what you requested last night.
Kubby/ Okay. So the two tllings that we wanted to change: I-was to add the services
to look at the possibility of using wetlands for tertiary treatment fro ammonia
removal and secondly-
Gentry/ The amount.
Pigott! Cost effective post consumer products.
Gentry/ Yes, three tllings,
Horow/ I only had one otller-I had a couple phone calls on this, which I think was
interesting, from the public asking whether or not Mr, Pigott had a conflict of
interest because tllis was an agreement between Stanley Consultants and the
City of Iowa City and knowing tlle bidding process I assured them hat tllere
were no councilors involved in tllis and they were one of a number of
companies we had assessed. I believe that they were chosen on the knowledge
that they have of our city just as we were talking about Mr. Rynecki a little bit
before. And so I assured the people tlmtthere was no even perception of
conflict of interest. But I mentioned this to Bruno and do you want to
continue.
Pigott! First I would like to clear up any misconception to it and the reason that Susan
brought it up is because I work at the Stanley Fonndation in Muscatine during
the day and at the Stanley Foundation it is easy to confuse Stanley Consultants
with the Stanley Foundation and often times in the public it is because of the
name. But tlle Stanley Foundation is not at all related to Stanley Consultants
in Muscatine. We conduct conferences on international relations issues. We
have a large endowment. That endowment comes from stock in Hon
Corporation and not at all from money regarding Stanley Consultants. I asked,
because of otller people's possible mispcrception and concerns about it, the city
attorney for an opinion regarding this and I wondered, Linda, if you conld just
tell me. We talked about it and I said that the Foundation has no financial
interest whatsoever in Stanley Consultants and none of our endowment or
employees is related to the Stanley Consultant. Our president is also witll
Stanley Consultants but none of or employees tllat work in tlle Foundation
work with Stanley Consultants.

Gentry/ As I understand it, actually I have some personal knowledge having worked
for the Center for World Order Studies which was founded by the Stanley
Foundation and funded many many years ago in the law school. The
Foundation is entirely separate as I understand it. It is not funded by the
Stanley Consultants. Stanley Consultants is an engineering finn that works
around the world and as far as I can understand it there is no either or even
indirect pecuniary interest that Bruno would derive from this contract that is
being proposed for you for a vote tonight. And so not only do I not see direct
pecuniary interest I see no indirect and I see no appearance of impropriety. But
it is Bruno's-it is his choice whether he wants to vote. I see no conflict of
interest and I will confinn that in writing in a fonn of an opinion,
Courtney/ I don't see anything different. I had to have an opinion from the AG many
years ago, eight years ago to be exact, on whether our finn could buy the
municipal bonds sold by the City ofIowa City, As long as I was not involved
in the bidding process and I didn't own 5% of the stock, I wished I did but I
don't. I assume you don't own more than 5% of Stanley Consultants. I certa
inly-
Gentry/ I don't see any problems.
Pigott! And I will be voting on this tonight.
Courtney/ Any other discussion,
Roll call.
The resolution is adopted,

Courtney/ Moved by Nov, seconded by Ambr. Discussion.
Kubby/ I do have a qnestion for Chuck. I know that this in essence makes our rules a
little more restrictive and have we heard from any of the businesses that will
be affected by this about what kind of a hardship or wllat kind of a changes in
process tllat they will have to do internally.
Schmadeke/ No, we haven't heard anything.
Kubby/ Do we know any businesses that will have to change the way they put stuff
down the sewer because of these changes,
Schmadeke/ Not to my knowledge. There is a little bit different recording
requirements.
Kubby/ But not in processing that you are aware of,
Schmadeke/ Not in processing, right.
Kubby/ More restrictive, notlling will essentially change in how they process their
liquid waste.
Schmadeke/ That is right.
Horow/ And these ordinances are given to any companies that want to come into the
city.
Schmadeke/ That is right and they are similar to what other cities have,
Courtney/ Any other discussion.
Roll call-
The ordinance passes second consideration.
