MEMORANDUM

RE: The Union Bar
DATE: January 4, 1993
I have met with Mr. Kip Pohl, the owner of the Union Bar, several
times in 1993. The topic of the conversation centered on what the bar
could do and was doing to reduce the number of underage possession
charges which occur. Mr. Pohl requires a training session for all his
employees and a signed document stating that the employee wlll follow
the law as well as the requirements of the Union Bar.
Mr. Pohl has increased the number of employees who work the floor and
one of the functions of the employees is to stop the underage patrona
from drinking by taking the alcohol away and possible removal from the
Union. Mr. Pohl certeinly appeara to want to do whatever he can to
ensure the Union Bar compiles with State and City laws.
Unless the City would pass an under age 21 ordinance auch as Cedar
Rapids, Cedar Falls and Ames have, I believe we will always see a
fairly high number of arrests for underage possession, especially in the
larger capacity bars.

Re: Whispering Meadows Wetlands Park
During autumn 1990, the U.S, Army Corps of Engineers confirmed the presence of two
Jurisdictional wetland areas in agricultural lands being planned for development as part of the
Whispering Meadows subdivision. The developer proposed donating a 17-acre cluster of
degraded wetlands to the City of Iowa City as a wetlands park in exchange for removal of a one
acre degraded wetland parcel.

The City accepted this agreement and final plat approval was granted on May 14, 1991. The
developer was further obligated to pay the cost of a 4 foot wide looped, crushed rock pathway
around the park, This obligation expires on May 14, 1994.
Dr. lon Drake of the University of Iowa was consulted in January, 1991, to develop a concept
plan for the park. This concept plan included restoration of native prairie vegetation, and
construction of a shaliow, curving slough to link four wAtland areas within the park, provide habitat
for mosquito.eating minnows, and create an Island for protected waterfowl breeding.
This concept plan was expanded upon during public meetings with the Grant Wood Neighborhood
Association on April 19, 1993, and a variety of environmental groups on April 26, 1993.
Recommended chenges which were incorporated into the design include Widening the trail to 8
feet to allow bicycle traffic, construction of an observation platform for bird watching, and the
addition of sitting benches along the trail.
Design of the park was completed by Shive-Hattery Engineers and Architects, Inc. The final
design includes 3,500 feet of walking trails, a 2.acre waterfowl island, a 24'X24' ,observation
platform with handicapped-accessible access ramp, and restoration of 5.5 acres of sedge
meadow and 4.5 acres of native prairie vegetation, Also, a seedbank from the 1 acre wetlands
area previously lost to development was preserved and will be used to revegelate portions of the
wetlands area.
The total projected construction cost for the entire project Is approximately $174,000, Weather
permitting, grading of the site and construction of the walking trail and observation platform are
scheduled for the spring of 1994, with revegetation of the prairie and sedge meadow areas
occurring in the summer of 1994. These 1994 items are estimated at a cost of approximately
$136,000. Wetland revegetation with the help of local volunteers and the addition of the walkway
boardwalk section will be completed in 1995 with an estimated cost of approximately $38,000,

BACKGROUND:
\
.Ii
"
The preliminary plat for Whispering Meadows, Parts One and Two, was approved in 1990.
The final plat of Part One was approved in 1991. An extension of the expiration date of the
preliminary plat for Part Two was approved until November 1993. The applicant is now
seeking final plat approval for Part Two.
At the time that this area was rezoned from ID.RS, Interim Development Single.Family
Residential, to RS.8, Medium Density Single-Family Residential, the City entered into a
Conditional Zoning Agreement with the applicant regarding the dedication of wetlands,
requirements for effordeble housing, an overell density limit of 5 dwelling units per acre and
stipulations prohibiting the construction of dwelling units with basements. When the property
wes subsequently brought into sequence in terms of the Comprehensive Plan's development
sequence designation, the Conditional Zoning Agreement was amended to remove the
requirement for effordable housing. The requirements for dwelling units with basements was
also amended to allow the construction of basements under certain conditions, as discussed
below.
ANAL YSIS:
As submitted, the final plat is In general compliance with the approved preliminary plat. A
proposed revision in street and lot layouts is discussed below. Deficiencies and discrepancies
ere noted at the end of this report. Construction drawings, have not yet been submitted.
They must be submitted to and approved by the Public Works Department prior to City
Council consideration of the final plat. legal papers are currently being reviawed by the City
Attorney's Office. These documents must be approved bV Public Works and the City
Attorney's Office, respectively, prior to Council consideration of the final plat.
The emended Conditional Zoning Agreement which applies to this property notes thet
basements may be constructed subject to the provision of proper subsurface drainage
systems. The requirements for the construction of basements should be stipulated in the legal
papers for the final plat.
The final plat depicts a change in street and lot layout in the southeast section of the plat.
The preliminery plat design with the proposed final plat design overlaid is depicted in Exhibit
A. The original design Included a looped street with a center outlot that would have been
maintained by e homeowners essoclation. The proposed final plat would replace the looped
street with a cul.de.sac and eliminate the epproximate hell.acre Outlot B. One additional
residential lot would be created. Although the proposed revision depicted on the final plat

The legal documants for Whispering Meadows Subdivision, Part One, spacify that the City will
designata the location for a looped pathway within the wetlands park. The subdivision
agreement further specifies thet the City must designate the location within three years of the
date of final plat approval of Whispering Meadows Subdivision, Part One (in this case May 14.
1994). The developer is then obligated to construct the path within nine months of being
notified of the appropriate location by the City.
The City has contrected with a consultant to design a wetlands restoration plan for the
wetlands park. The plan will include specifications for pathway location. It is anticipated that
the plan will be complete prior to the May 14, 1994, deadline. Rather than requiring the
developer to construct the path, it may be more appropriata for the City to construct the path
at the time of the wetland restoration project and have the developer reimburse the City for
the costs the developer would otherwise have incurred with installation of the trail. This
errangemant may require an ancillary agreament regarding the subdivision agreement for
Whispering Maadows Subdivision, Part One.

City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
Date: December 29, 1993
To:
From:
Re:
On the Council's January 4, 1994, agenda Is a resolution of necessity and setting a public hearing
for February 15, 1994 on a proposed Near Southslde Commercial Urban Revitalization Plan: This
item is in response to Hieronymi Partners' request for property tax exemption for their
redevelopment project located on Block 102. (Please reference a November 18, 1993 memo in
your November 22, 1993 packet regarding the project.)
Near Soulhside Neiahborhood Redevelopment Plan
The proposed urban revitalization area includes the area zoned Central Business Support Zone,
CB.5, between Burlington and Court streets. The rationale for the proposed Near Southslde
Commercial Urban Revitalization Plan Is based upon the Near Southslde (NSS) Redevelopment
Plan, which outlines City policy regarding redevelopment of the area generally south of Burlington
Street, west of Gilbert Street, east of Madison Street, and north of the Iowa Interstate Railway
main line. A copy of the NSS Plan Is Included In the Council packet for your reference. The NSS
Plan "targets the blocks between Burlington & Court streets for office and commercial
development to complement the downtown retail core." Given the close proximity of the
downtown to the north and land zoned for a high density resldenlial development to the south,
the proposed urban revitalization area provides an ideal location for a mlxed.use high density
commercial area.
Since adoption of the NSS Plan, steps have taken place to implement components of the plan,
A new zoning designation, Central Business Support Zone (CB.5), was established to encourage
redevelopment of the area. A parking Impact ordinance was established to help finance the
construction of a public parking facility in the area to help facilitate redevelopment of the area,
And a consultant has been hired to propose a streetscape plan for the area that would Integrate
and provide conllnuity In the Near Southslde Neighborhood.
Though the new zoning designalion permits commercial residential uses within the Near
Souths Ide Commercial Urban Revitalization Area, the need does not exist to encourage
commercial residential development in this area. The market, itself, drives the atlracllveness of
this area for hlgh.denslty residential uses. In fact, without some sort of financial Incentives to
encourage non. residential commercial developments, the proposed urban revitalization area may
exclusively redevelop In a fashion similar to the Bell & Breese apartment bulidlng on Linn Street;
that Is developments dominated by residential uses and limited commercial uses.

Financial incentives, such as property tax exemption, may be necessary to encourage the
redevelopment of high density non.residential commercial uses in the center of the community
in a compact manner rather than disperse this type of deveiopment on the periphery of the
community. By encouraging non. residential commercial uses in the proposed urban revitalization
area, the City takes advantage of redeveloping an area that has adequate public infrastructure,
Is well served by transit, and Is accessible to pedestrians. Redevelopment of the urban
revitalization area differs from development on the periphery of the community in that
development on the periphery could require significant expenditures for installation of public
infrastructure, is less accessible by transit, and would rely extensively on the use of automobiles
to access the development. The NSS Plan discusses the use of various financing mechanisms
to encourage the redevelopment of the area north of Court Street, the Near Southslde
Commercial Urban Revitalization Area, Though the NSS Plan does not specifically mention the
use of property tax exemption, the use of property tax exemption would be an appropriate
financing mochanism to encourage redevelopment of the subject area.
)'
ProperlY Tax Exemption
I,:
The resolution on the Council's agenda is the first step in establishing property tax exemption for
qualified projects in the proposed urban revitalization area. The decision to designate an area
an urban revitalization area should further a public policy. such as the city's interest in facilitating
redevelopment of the proposed area as outlined in the Near Southside Neighborhood
Redevelopment Plan, If the City Council concludes that the proposed area will not redevelop in
the fashion as outlined In the NSS Plan in a timeframe acceptable to the community without
providing property tax exemption, then consideration of the proposed urban revitalization plan is
appropriate.

Attachment 1 lists a proposed schedule for the steps in establishing property tax exemption for
the site, The steps in the process are basically the following, The City designates an area as
an urban revitalization area by ordJnance; the City then adopts, by resolution, an urban
revitalization plan for the area. Once this has been established, a developer within the proposed
urban revUalization area Is able to apply to the City Councli for property tax exemption for the
added value of Improvements to the site. Once the City Councli grants the exemption, the
application Is sent to the City Assessor to determine If the added value of improvements meets
all of the requirements.
According to the proposed urban revitalization plan, projects within the revUallzation area must
meet all of the following criterJa to qualify for property tax exemption:

an exemption Is received by at least fifteen (15) percent in the case of real property
assessed as commercial property.
The proposed plan includes four tax exemption schedules from which an eligible property owner
can select. However, only the three. year one hundred percent exemption schedule and the ten.
year declining percentage schedule are applicable to the proposed plan due to only non-
residential commercial property qualifying for the exemption. These four tax exemption schedules
are provided by State Code. State Code allows the City to adopt different schedules than these
four, but the Code requires that the tax exemption schedules provided In one revitalization area
also apply to every revitalization area within the City, The City included all four of these
schedules in the Block 62 Urban Revitalization Plan. Therefore, the City must Include all four in
the proposed plan or establish a new schedule and amend the Block 62 Urban Revitalization Plan
to Include the new schedule.

The Near Southside Commercial Urban Revitalization Area shall remain a designated
revitalization area for a period of ten years. During this ten year period, a qualified property
owner in the area may epply for property tax exemption. The tax exemption schedule the
property owners select will be in effect from the date of City Council approval of tax exemption
for the specific project.
The Plan also contains relocation provisions in the event qualified tenants are displaced as a
result of improvements to be made in the designated area due to action on the part of a property
owner to qualify for benefits under this Plan.
We will both be at your January 3, 1994 work session to answer questions you may have on the
proposed Near Southside Commercial Urban Revitalization Plan and Area.

Accordingly, on January 4, 1993 the City Council adopted a resolution finding that the
proposed Near Souths ide Commercial Urban Revitalization Area meets the criteria of Sections
404.1 (2) and (4), 1993 Code of Iowa, and that the rehabilitation, conservation, redevelop-
'ment, economic development, or a combination thereof is necessary in the interests of the
public health, safety or welfare of the residents of the City,

Sections 404.1 (2) and (4) specifically state that the City may designate an area of the City
a revitalization area if that area is
2. An area which by reason of the presence of a substantial number of deteriorat-
ed or deteriorating structures, predominance of defective or inadequate street layout,
incompatible land use relationships, faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy,
accessibility or usefulness, unsanitary or unsafe conditions, deterioration of site or
other improvements, diversity of ownership, tax or special assessment delinquency
exceeding the actual value of the land, defective or unusual conditions of title, or the
existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or a

CITY OF IOWA CITY POLICY CRITERIA
In March of 1992, the Iowa City City Council adopted the Near Souths ide Neighborhood
Redeveiopmant Plan which outlines City policy regarding the redevelopment of the area
generally south of Burlington Street, west of Gilbert Street, east of Madison Street, and north
of the Iowa Interstate Railway main line. Development within the Near Souths ide Commercial
Urban Revitalization Area (the Area) shall be consistent with the policies outlined in the Near
Souths ide Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan. (See Addendum 1 for a map of the Urban
Revitalization Area.)
The Near Southside (NSS) Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan "targets the blocks between
Burlington & Court streets for office and commercial development to complement the
downtown retail core". The NSS Plan states that "the commercial development" (that which
is located in the Near Souths ide Commercial Urban Revitalization Area) "is typically in one or
two-story older buildings, at an intensity of use which is less then optimal for an area so close
to downtown." Based on a thorough review of property, the NSS Plan designates nearly half
of the area, which is the Near Southside Commercial Urban Revitalization Area, as potential
redevelopment sites within the next ten years (See Addendum 2). Three of the sites, the
Hieronymus tract on Block 102, Southtown Properties' land on Block 103 (which has already
redeveloped), and the Cahill property on Outlot 24, are the only sites in the Area which are
large enough under present ownership to permit development of any size and significance.
The NSS Plan identifies three historic structures in the Near Southside Commercial Urban
Revitalization Area which are on or may be eligible for the National Register:
228 E. Court St.
335 S. Clinton St.
330 E. Court St.
St. Patrick's Church and rectory
Coldwell-Banker Anderson-Bender Real Estate Agency
Honohan, Epley, Haymond, & Braddock law Office
The adopted Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan promotes the use of locai economic
incentives, including property tax exemption, to preservo or restore buildings such as these.
Though the NSS Plan does not specifically mention the use of property tax exemption, the
NSS Plan discusses the use of various financing mechanisms to assist with encouraging the
redevelopment of the area north of Court Street, the Near Souths ide Commercial Urban
Revitalization Area. The City Council finds that the use of property tax exemption an
appropriate financing mechanism to encourage redevelopment of the Area.

URBAN REVITALIZATION PLAN OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives of this Plan are to encourage the redevelopment of the Near Southside
Urban Revitalization Area for commercial uses other than commercial residential uses and to
encourage the reuse of historic and architecturally significant structures in the revitalization
area. Given the close proximity to the downtown to the north and a high density residential
area to the south, the Area provides an ideal location for a mixed.use high density commercial
and residential area. In addition, the remainder of the community's residential areas can easily
access the Area due to the Area's close proximity to the transit hub of the community.
Though the zoning ordinance permits commercial residential uses within the Near Southside
Commercial Urban Revitalization Area, the City Council has determined that the need does not
exist to encourage commercial residential development in the Area. The Council finds that
the market, itself, drives the attractiveness of this area for high density residential uses. The
Council further finds that the use of financial incentives, such as property tax exemption, are
necessary to encourage the development of high density non.residential commercial uses in
the center of the community in a compact manner rather than disperse this type of
development on the periphery of the community.
Consequently, the primary objectives of this Plan are to encourage the redevelopment of the
Near Southside Urban Revitalization Area for commercial uses other than commercial
residential uses and to encourage the reuse of historic and architecturally significant structures
in the revitalization area, To achieve these objectives, the City of Iowa City shall undertake
the urban revitalization activities as specified in this Urban Revitalization Plan, pursuant to the
powers granted to it under Chapter 404 of the 1993 Code of Iowa, as amended.

PRELIMINARY
CITY OF IOWA CITY Subject to Approval
Guidelines for CDBG Funding Assistance
to Repair, Replace, or Demolish Flood Damaged Homes
General Information
,
,
The City of Iowa City has received an allocation of $1.055 million In Supplemental Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds to be used for flood disaster relief. The City has
chosen to use most of these funds to assist property owners with repairs to their flood damaged
homes, including elevation, replacement or demolition, as needed. This program is administered
by the City's Community Development Division.
"
t,
Both grant and no interest loan funds are available to assist in repairing damage to structures and
to any essential systems that make a home unsafe and unsanitary; however, these funds can not
be used to replace any household goods. For instance, we can replace or repair plumbing,
healing, electrical, flooring, walls, stove, refrigerator and furnace. We cannot replace washer,
dryer, air conditioner, or personal belongings damaged In the flood. We assist in paying for items
that are not eligible for assistance through FEMA or HACAP, or that were only partially covered
by these agencies. In some cases, assistance Is also provided for replacement of a mobile
home.

General Guidelines for the Flood Damage R~palr Program.
1. All repairs will comply with the City's Floodplain Management ordinance which requires
that any structure that has been 'substantially damaged' by flooding (I.e. to the eldentthat
the cost of repairs equals or exceeds 50% of the fair market value of the structure before
the damage occurred) must be elevated If the structure Is In the 100-year floodplain.
2. These funds can only be used to repair damage due to the flood. All repairs must also
conform to federal, state and local codes and guidelines.
3. Priority will be given to households with emergency needs or uninhabitable structures.
4. The funds will be allocated either as a grant, a no Interest loan or a combination
granVloan, depending on gross household Income.
5. For projects costing over $12.000 and for self.employed clients, Income verification is
required.

I MEMORANDUM
.
Date: December 27, 1993
To: City Council and City Manager
From: It\ Marianne Milkman, Community Development Coordinator
~~ephen Long, Associate Planner
Re: Amended 1993 CDBG Supplemental Program Statement (Flood Relief)
Iowa City must file an amended Program Statement and Budget prior to the release of the
additional $880,000 of Flood Relief funds aliocated to the City by HUD. The attached budget was
proposed by staff and recommended for approval by the Committee on Community Needs (CCN)
on 12/16193. '
The proposed budget contains estimates for the costs of housing repairlreplacement and
elevation of flood-damaged homes, mainly for families below 125% median income. The
guidelines for this program are attached to this memo.
Also budgeted are funds for the demolition of structures In the f100dway or 100.year floodplain
(such as 11 South Johnson Street). In this program, priority will be given to properties which will
remain as open space in perpetuity. For properties where rebuilding Is planned, all structures
must comply with the requirements of the Floodplain Ordinance. Council has the option to decide
that any property In the floodplain for which public monies are used for demolition should be
acquired by the City where possible so that It will remain as open space.
Finally, we are recommending $280,000 be used to acquire, rezone and/or develop land for
manufactured housing development which is not In the floodplain. Currently there is no vacant '
land zoned Residential Factory Bulit Housing (RFBH) In Iowa City, and existing Factory Buill
Housing Parks have very few vacancies. Development of one or more such parks would provide
an opportunity for famliles to move out of the floodplain as weli as adding to the affordable
housing stock In Iowa City. We are also looking at other funding sources such as the FEMA 404
Program (Hazard Mitigation) for funding, Such parks will probably be developed with some form
of public/private partnership.
This Program Statement amendment will be on for brief discussion at your informal Councli
meeting on January 3, 1994. For more Information, please call Stephen Long at 356.5250 or
Karin Franklin at 356-5232.
Happy New Yearl

December 15, 1993
Honorable Mayor Darrell Courtney
City of Iowa City
410 E. Washington st.
Iowa city, IA 52240
Dear Mayor Courtney:
As you know, Cablevision VII, Inc. d/b/a TCI of Eastern Iowa,
provided to the city an informal response to the City's RFP on
October 20, 1993. Our response stopped short of providing
substantive information in several areas. Two of these areas which
make up a large part of the RFP are access and its related funding,
and also, the City's desire to have a comprehensive institutional
network incorporated in our proposed new build.
In the interest of opening informal negotiations in these areas as
well as others, the Company would propose to begin by amending our
response to sections 7 and 8 of the RFP. Section 7, which deals
with Government, PUblic, Educational, and Library access clearly
asks that the Company commit some sort of financial support in this
area. With this in mind, the Company proposes the following:
1. To provide capital support for access facilities in the
amount of $145,000 per year.
2. With the City as custodian, we will establish a $500,000
capital grant to be used for access facilities and equip
ment. Among other things, this grant could be used to
facilitate the relocation of PATV as well as purchase
equipment for access providers. Distribution of these
funds would be at the sole discretion of the City of Iowa
City.
Section 8 deals with institutional uses and applications of the
cable system and the city's desire to have an institutional network
incorporated into the Company's proposed new system. With this in
mind, the Company proposes the following:
1. An extensive "I" Net will be constructed in conjunction
with our new system. This "I" Net will allow networking of
all City government buildings as listed in the RFP. The
"I" Net would be constructed using a combination of fiber
optic and coaxial technology.
2. The Iowa City School District has also expressed an inter-
546 Soulh9al. A"nu.

est in networking. The "I" Net would serve nicely to meet
the needs of the District. It should be noted that the
state of Iowa is in the final stages of issuing an RFP
which seeks bids on tying in various school and government
agencies to the statewide Iowa Communications Network. We
intend to participate in this bidding process, but at this
time it is impossible to forecast what role the Company
will play.
3. If the city desires, we would also propose to extend the
"I" Net to the new water treatment facility.
4. We do not know, at this time, the capital dollars involved
in constructing the "I" Net system, nor do we know what on-
going operating costs will be. We would expect to recover
those operating costs as well as realize a fair return on
our investment. Obviously, the more users of this network
there are, including the private sector, the lower our
costs will be. Key to the success of this project will' be
an exemplary use of the "I" Net by the public sector.
Mayor Courtney, we realize that there are other areas of concern.
We need to identify those areas at your earliest convenience and
address them as a company-city bargaining unit.
As a final note, the Company respects the efforts of the City in
.representing the public interest. The best deal the City can
strike with the Company to serve that public interest will not be
achieved by back and forth, time consuming written dialogue. It
will be achieved with sincere, across the table, face to face
negotiations. To that end, as General Manager of the Iowa City
complex, I wish to express my desire that you and your council will
view our future negotiations as an opportunity not only to
represent the Iowa City community, but also fulfillment in knowing
that the private sector and government QftU work together as a team
in leading our community into the next millenium.
Sincerely,
TCI of Eastern Iowa

Iowa City Water Division Customer Service Reorganization
The work load for the Customer Service section of the Water Division has grown as a
function of an increase in water system users and citizen requests for information on
water conservation, water quallty, and other areas related to customer service activities.
Many of our normal activities have Increased drastically such as' water main and service
locates and meter installations. Others have grown gradually, such as collections and
water main ,taps. Still others have been deferred such as meter tes.ting and replacement.
In addition, the Water Division is preparing for additional State mandated programs such
as the Cross-Connection/Backfiow Prevention Program that passed last year. This
program requires cities with populations greater than 15,000 to have a Backfiow Program
in piace by 1996. The planning and implementation of this program will be difficult for
both the Water Division and Housing Inspection Services.
The Water Division has been involved in a myriad of water educational programs for
several years including the addition of Public Information Programs as a Performance
Measurement of the Water Program Division Statement. We are very interested in
increasing our activity in this area.
In order to meet the service demands of our consumers for now and into the future I am
proposing the following reorganization of the Customer Service section of the Water
Division:
1. The creation of two positions instead of filling the Senior MW position that will soon
be vacated. The positions would be MWI - Customer Service. These positions would
be accountable for a iarge portion of the day-to-day activity such as"taps, cardings
(high use, low' use, billing, operations etc.), water maln and service locates, etc.
2. The three MW Il - Customer Service positions would function as Customer Service Field
Representatives. These positions would be accountable for the a<<tivities related to
customer personal contracts, such as leak Investigations, the backfiow prevention
program, water quality/pressure complaints, water maln replacement, meter change-
out, etc.

Re:
Water Conservalion
As we continue our planning efforts with respect to meeUng our future community water needs,
it Is clear, In my judgment, there Is interest with the City Council and, I suspect, within the
community to learn more about methods of conservation and/or other water usage/volume control
techniques. Please begin the process of idenUfylng a community education effort with respect
to water and we .might communicate and educate our community about this resource.
Specifically, I would like to assign a staffperson, at least Initially, fullUme responsibility in such
an education effort. This would inciude meeting with various community groups to provide them
informaUon conceming water conservation; possibly developing some curriculum wilhln our school
system; design and development of brochures and other educalional information for broad
distribution; and possibly th'e role of the City In the mass purchase of conservation devices and
thereby providing our ability to seilthose devices at a reduced cost to interested citizens. Please
give this matter some thought and prepare such an education program so I may provide Council
with the details of our education plans. I am aware of the interest by the Water Division to
undertake an expansion of our customer service activities, and therefore a 'water educator' may
fit Into their plans.
