'. 1 revised 12/8/93 4 stated that the general levy is made up of 55% of the Iowa City residents tax money and thereby City residents pay twice on certain items. Bolkcom asked Council Members if they have specific figures on SEATS regarding the percentage of ridership versus the percentage of local tax contributions including the City and County. Bolkcom asked specifically if the City has generated any numbers saying that the City is paying a certain percentage of the total property tax budget and its relationship to rides. Courtney emphasized that the City pays SEATS on a per ride basis to cover 100% of the expenses that are generated by City residents, Bolkcom explained that in 1993 Iowa City paid 64% of the expenses and received 72% of the rides. Courtney stated that Iowa City contributed directly SEATS on a per ride basis. Supervisor Lacina explained that County levies on the general fund and received grant monies to establish rides for the elderly. Lacina explained that under the mandate from the Federal government on transit monies, the City had certain ADA requirements and contracted the County to provide the ADA portion. Lacina stated that at that point the County had a separate contract to address, not just the elderly but the $294,000 to go towards ADA and the County's levy on the elderly. Courtney asked why Iowa City pays on a per ride basis and other communities don't, Lacina explained one of the reasons is that the other towns don't have mass transit systems and therefore don't fall under the ADA mandates. Kubby asked what the difference is in philosophy in the Senior Center and Library versus SEATS funding. Lacina explained the Code of Iowa was set up so there were certain brackets with which the County can levy for specific purpose, the County has a provision in the rural side of the levy for the unincorporated individuals in the County to pay for their portion. In response to Kubby, Lacina explained the County funds the library out of the rural levy. Lacina noted that for roads the County transfers approximately $408,000 out of the general fund to roads and the rest comes from the rural side and DOT. Lacina stated that the City definitely uses roads in the rural areas far more than that of $408,000.
