Any discussion. steve, I have a question. One of the items that is in here is the letter from Teg Drive Association. Would you be able to bring us up to date on where that is right now. Atkins/ We are in the process of preparing for you a policy position that will initiate new and different traffic control measures. As I am sure you can appreciate, when we write these policies they have to be uniform in a sense that they have to be applicable throughout the city. We have initiated within this policy review a process the use of stop signs as a means of regulating cut through traffic and all the other factors applied to the use of a stop sign. I would hope to give you that memo probably some time next week that outlines the policy. We have taken that particular stop sign policy and applied it to about six neighborhoods to see on just on a piece of paper how it works. It is not finished yet. It is not in a fashion that I am prepared to release it to you because we still have some additional work to do. But I would hope to have it to you by next week. I am making the assumption because the direction that you provided us that we would intend to contact a couple of neighborhoods and actually apply the policy to that neighborhood and inform them what they can expect. Horow/ will we send letters out to everyone in that area. I. ~ (:.;; \ Atkins/ What we did is we took the city and carved it up into sections, for lack of a better word. What we tried to do it take neighborhoods that were bracketed by either an arterial or collector and kind of square it off. In another words if we provided a unique traffic control instrument within the boundaries of those collectors and arterials we would then have some way of demonstrating whether it is going to work or not. We chase traffic out of that neighborhood then we should be experiencing increases along the collectors and the arterials. And so there must be 15-20 of those throughout the city and we have done this work on about six of them. That is kind of the plan right now. KubbYI I guess the thing that I am concerned about is I thought that we had directed that we look at some additional things besides stop signs as strategies- I assume that staff is working on that and that additional tools will be given to us with some options. ,/.'I "-( , I : I. I i I I I , I i, Ib II" I, .~ Atkins/ Yes, you will be given additional options but remember that we have an obligation that when you write these policies that it has to be uniformly applicable throughout the city and so F091394 '~. , :~': ~ ".

And quite frankly Karen, it is just a matter of testing the thing. The stop sign as an option has been tested on paper, Now whether it is going to work or not we won't know until we go into the field and actually do it. Yes, we will be giving you other options. Kubby/ Okay, so what is the time frame on these additional options besides the stop signs. Atkins/ I couldn't tell you right now. I honestly don't know. I will try to get this one out to you. This one has taken a lot more time than we anticipated and as you know we are up against winter time now for some traffic signals. We will get them done. Horow/ Among the other items we have set a p.h. on 9/27 to discuss amendments to the 1994 Community Development Block Grant Budget and Final statement, Roll call-(Yes) Okay, the Consent Calendar has been adopted. Nov/YoU might also want to mention all the hearings on the 25th of October in the Consent Calendar. Horow/ Well, I considered that but I didn't want to read all of those. We have quite a number of-Okay. The p.h.s on October 25 having to do with parking facility impact fee ordinance. These amendments are the result of the council's discussion regarding redevelopment of the Near South Side and the revitalization amendments. Right. Kubby/ Which translates into abatements. Horow/ Council has spent a lot of time, as you know, working on the development-redevelopment of the area south of Burlington between Burlington and Court and between Court and the railroad area to the south. It has been a long haul but we are working on it and the p.h.s and the resolutions which will follow address how we see structuring that area to encourage economic development. Throg/ Sue, could I say one other very brief thing about that. Through no fault of the reporter of the newspaper article in the local newspaper this morning presented a fairly incomplete description of all the elements involved in the proposed package of components that we put together.

You probably all have a letter from me about the proposal that I read about in the paper to discontinue the Seventh Avenue bus route. I am fortunate. I get to use Seventh Avenue, Court Hill and Towncrest bus routes and I am a daily user of the Iowa City Transit System which I think is excellent. The problem I see-one of the problems I see with discontinuing the Seventh Avenue route and I understand there is a lot of complexities with such an issue is that the ridership on Seventh Avenue, although it is light, during the past week averaged about 23 riders in the morning and that would mean that these riders would then have to transfer to the Court Hill and the Towncrest routes in the morning or other peak times and those buses are pretty much full right now. In fact I thought for several years that they needed some extra relief at 5:00 at the Court Hill route and I am just afraid that A-they are going to be packed like sardines and B-this will probably drive people or at least some of the riders into their cars and it is hard to get them out of their cars and back on the buses and I just hope that when this issue does come before you that you look at some of the consequences of discontinuing that service. These are complex issues and I don't have the answer either but I just wanted to bring this to your attention. Horow/ ~ appreciate the time that you have taken on this. "0. .. Clarki I submitted some petitions also. ( Horow/ As a matter of fact some people have called me and I have told them to get in touch with you and they knew exactly who was doing it. So thank you. Clarki It is really hard to get signatures on a bus and I don't think you can- Thank you. , ,I,; if: ! Kubby/ What would you think of the idea of at night the Seventh Avenue and Towncrest are combined, the routes are, and what if we combined the routes and then maybe had an extra bus during peak times and discontinue Seventh Avenue during mid day but then it is still covered. ! i I I I \ ~ Clarki Yeah, your peak times is your most congested time. the day there is hardly anybody riding Seventh Avenue is very very light.

But, yeah, I think that you need to provide some sort of service at peaks times. During the rest of the day some compromise and stuff is probably workable. You are not dealing with a great population at that time. Horow/ We will be looking at it, Thank you very much. Atkins/ Susan, may I comment for Mr. Clark's information. As you know you have a memo outlining some of these options. That is not scheduled for your discussion until the first meeting in October I think and if there are dramatic changes in routes I think there is a formal p.h. that has to be held. Horow/ Anybody else care to address council. Jim Glasgow/ I don't know if this is the proper time. Are you going to address the executive summary report later or- Horow/ No. There will be no discussion. Glasgow/ Can I show you the map that we have then of the water- Horow/ Five minutes, Jim, whatever you want to do is okay. Glasgow/ I don't know if this is any easier for you to look at over here. Horow/ okay, you want to just talk and leave it here. Glasgow/ The map that you have there is the alternative site plan that we drew up for the water plant. There are several concerns that Van Winkle Jacobs Engineering had. One of them is that there is a gasoline and fuel oil line that runs around the perimeter of this site. That is the line in green. Now that belongs to Williams Brothers Pipe Line. It is under BOO pounds pressure and it feeds up to DUbuque. Now we didn't see this on any of Howard Green's prints and \.,e are just wondering if the city is aware that it is there and if the risk assessment has been done or if this is a problem. To us it is maybe a stopping point and I don't know if staff has looked at it or what your feeling is. But we think that this particular issue should be addressed right now before you continue with anymore plans for this site. That is one thing. The other thing is there has been no well interference study done which means you don't know what the affect of putting wells in this site is going to do to the surrounding well owners. Now there are two wells shown, silurian wells, that pump 400,000 gallons per day. without a well interference study you don't know what you are going to do to River Heights, Windum Bluff, some F091394 : ~~ - ~ i).'....".'.. .

Aleda Feuerbach/ I am a property owner directly west to this property. This item along with your item g. and h. are all related as far as I am concerned so my comments are pertinent to all. I won't bore you with being redundant. My concern is and it has been on record many many times, if you annex, abide by the rules and regs that you folks set up in 1988 that says when you build the soccer fields you build the road from the north and you comply with those kind of agreements. What goes for developers should go for the city. The same rules should go for both. Thank you. Horow/ Anyone else that wishes to address this item. Kent Braverman/ I am an adjacent property owner to the same development that you are considering annexing and after going through in 1988 the agreement between the city and the county as to what would happen in our area an agreement was hammered out which was referred to by Aleda including opening up Sycamore and coming from the north if this were to happen and at the same time the agreement was that any development of this parkland would have the approval of the county and the residences around it in reference to where the soccer fields were which at this point in time according to the plan that was advanced in 1988 are much too close to my property without a buffer zone, a fence and some trees, etc. And also in this agreement which I am looking at at the moment there was reference to the amount of traffic that was going to be put on Nursery Land and on Sand Road at the same time which was contingent on opening Sycamore from the north at the same time you develop the property. But most specifically there is a two mile agreement between the county and the city which I am sure you are aware of that allows for those of us in the county and the county government to comment and approve of your development. And it seems to me that because you are'now coming out to annex and I might comment annex in a fashion that is not consistent with prior policy statements involving no jutting of annexation. This is an area that is coming out of the county that you own without annexing around it specifically. That you would consider the fact that those of us who are in the county are being dramatically affected by this plant and by the new proposed parkland should have direct input at any plans of doing it. So what I would ask for is that you, as Aleda did, abide by the agreement that was made between the county and the city at the tome and the specifics of that were to allow those of us in the county, specifically adjacent landowners, to approve or disapprove the plans that you have for the parkland that is going into affect.

Mr. Braverman, so your comments really aren't directed so much towards the annexation- Braverman/ I am sorry, I am really not hearing sir. Throg/ So your comments aren't directed so much toward the annexation itself but towards the way we develop the park. Braverman/ No. My comments are directed at the fact that a very specific agreement that was made between the county and the city on a very sensitive matter be adhered to #1, and #2-the city has insisted that they have a prerogative on a two mile limitation from the city property to the county property and that they have the right to approve or disapprove of what goes on out there. Now we have the reverse happening. The city is coming into the county in the same way and I would request that you allow the county and the residents in the county that they have the same power that the city has requested that they have over this two mile area when you come out into the county and propose to do a development. We want the same respect paid to us that you ask we pay to you. That is what I am asking for. Horow/ Ms. Gentry, are there specifics about the agreement that addresses this issue in terms of the approval or disapproval of specifically of what is going on. Gentry/ If you are talking about the right for the city to comment on zoning within that two mile territorial limit. Braverman/ Absolutely. Gentry/ We can only comment and in that case the county can only comment on zoning. with respect to subdivision we would have control. You are asking that the county have control over subdivisions with in that two mile- Braverman/ I would ask that the county have the same power the city has in this specific case, Whatever that power may be. You have asked us in the county to let you come in and comment specifically-forcefully on what goes on in the county. Now I would ask that you abide by the county's comments on what you intent to do on a zoning that juts out and I say juts out because-This is spot zoning is what I am saying to you. spot zoning.

GentrYI You have thrown a lot of things out, Kent. It is not spot zoning. It is not illegal annexation. What is your asking for is respect. I believe the city will give you that. What you are aSking for is a recognition for something that is not- doesn't exist under Iowa law in terms of the county having authority over the city. It works the other way under Chapter 4.14 and don't ask my why but. Braverman/ Well, the power over legally is not what I am asking for. Gentry/ I think that is-This is a policy decision he is asking for you to make. It is not a legal question. Horow/ But specifically I want to make sure he realizes that we are not jutting out to annex. Braverman/ Yes you are. Horow/ This is adjacent to other property that has just been annexed. Braverman/ Yeah, but it is not being done in a concurrent manner. It is going to jut. Horow/ something that is adjacent that is- Braverman/ I don't know if that constitutes spot zoning or-but it comes out from. And the fact that we had a lot of deliberations about the city coming out into the county and the conditions upon which the county granted the zoning for the plant that is now in existence and for the park that is now in existence. An agreement was made that said the county would have consideration on further development of the park area that is out there. I am asking for that to be acknowledged at this point. Gentry/ You are asking for that to be acknowledged and that is what the resolution is intended to do. Item h. later. It will convey the council's intent to abide by certain portions of that agreement even though the agreement is null and void once the annexation takes place. You understand that. Braverman/ I ask that the council recognize that that agreement shouldn't be null and void and specifically say that they will adhere the agreement that was made. That is my point. That they not make it null and void. F091394 -- , ~.. . :',.,Ol).':i':" , .' i'" ,,' ,,; .', ,:..'~' , -:'," , ..

We put Sycamore through from the north and that the county and the adjacent residents would have some input on how we develop the park with buffer zones and those issues. Are there other things in the agreement that Kent is talking about. Are there other issues. Gentry/ I can't really answer that question without reviewing the agreement. I do know that was discussed at length at P/Z and there was input from Terry Trueblood and my office and Planning and P/Z recommended based on Aleda's concerns the north access road should be put in and Nursery Lane should be limited to only emergency use. Those two things are the only issues that I heard referred up from P/Z. I don't know of all the other issues. Braverman/ Karen, may I quote to you-Linda. The city further agrees however the development of the park site will be in general conformity with the layout. That it will provide to the county an opportunity to review and comment on any development of the park site which materially varies from the layout or goal of avoiding adverse impact on county roads and county land use plans and ordinances. That is from your agreement. But specifically the talk at that time was that the county and county residences adjacent to the park development would have a chance to approve disapprove comment and on otherwise on this park development. Kubby/ Besides those two issues are there anything else-is there anything else in the agreement. " I [ !l:~ Braverman/ In this agreement. Generally that the county would have an almost equal status with the city is what I am reading into it in terms of the development of this area. When they came into us, John McDonald and Bill Ambrisco stood up at our county meetings and said before anything is done out there it will be brought before the county and approved by the supervisors so that there is accordance in the way this thing is developed and anything that affects county residences. And the county specifically. And they had in mind, when they did that Karen, usage of Sand Road, the extension of Sycamore, etc., etc. But this was a very highly controversial matter when that plant carne out. And I want you to understand that our concerns out there are the fact that you have only utilized one quarter of the land the county agreed to zone on the basis of this agreement because it will be four times as big when we get to its fruition. So it is terribly important that the county and county residences have a very direct say in what goes in in this park in this area. \ .~ ,.)!i1 ~T , < I i I i I , I , I , k. : I". i, ~ , 1 h'~l' .~; VI " reI.

Is there anyone else that wishes to address council on this issue. Richard Rhodes/ 2014 Rochester Avenue. And I would like to comment further on something that I did last meeting. with regard to the soccer fields I brought up the fact that there is no jurisdictional wetlands delineation that are on file in the city Clerk's Office regarding that project. You have before you in items f. & g. the annexations and rezoning a matter regarding this same area, If this would have been a private developer for the last year and a half or two years, the annexations, rezonings, preliminary plats, etc. have been required when there are hydric soils or potential wetlands on the site to have a jurisdictional wetlands determination made and have that copy available to the city and the public to examine. I feel that the city is treating itself differently than it is treating its private developers by not having that delineation on file. I I Q Kubby/ I thought that when Sandy came up last time we were told that that determination had been made. So if that has happened we need to make sure that we have all of our documentation and if now, why we don It. That should be clarified before our next meeting. Rhodes/ I did check in the city Clerk's Office on these two items and there was no new material on them. There was no delineation letter on file. Kubby/ Hopefully what it is is that Public Works has it and it has not gotten to the City Clerk and it probably should. Throg/ Well, we want to see it. Horow/ Thank you. Rhodes/ Thank you.

Horow / Okay. ,; KUbby/ And the reason that we are deferring this is because we really can't do this until the land is actually part of Iowa city and therefore the agreement with the county is then null and void.

Richard Rhoades/ But I stand before you this time as an advocate for interconnected trailways and open green space in Iowa ci ty. wi th the Village Green subdivision we are talking about there there are two fairly large storm water detention basins on either side of the condominium development. To the south of this Wellington Condominiums and Village Green there is Village Green South, a development that Jim Anderson brought in to P/Z some time ago. In that development there is a fairly extensive trail system, a lot of open space planned and a connection was provided to the north into the plain Village Green development. This plat before you or I should say OPDH before you makes no provision whatsoever for any connection to that trail system with any open green space in association with the storm water detention basins. I find this very dismaying that this is happening when there is such an emphasis on neighborhood open space. Horow/ I would like to ask Karin a question. Rhodes/ Thank you. Horow/ Thank you, Sandy, but it is about your comment. have anything to do with the fact that we have fences around those- Does this asked for Franklin/ Yes. Horow/ That is what I thought. Franklin/ Wet bottom basins within this development. And as you recall when we first went through this, there is concern by the neighborhood that kids will get into the wet bottom basin so there was fencing put up around so you can't go through. Horow/ I guess I would ask those who are interested in the trails that some sort of a creative system be devised around this because- Franklin/ You can access the trails via the street and sidewalk system. It means going around instead of going through it. Kubby/ And there is not space enough in there to have public access via trails outside of the fenced areas to make that connection. Franklin/ Larry might be able to answer that question better. But my recollection is between the fences and hedges that were cutting off the water area from the rest of the development F091394 _~__,__~,J, -._ . -- ')' "':, ' .....'. , , .. , . ~"" O,'-~,' ',', '., '~h: '.. ..-,', ". :J':' .",;",..,;:.,... ... . .\ .. ..\':,->--:_.~:,:,,'- ,.-;~....-, r ! , I D I .~ "',""":'1s'.lti, ,....'",'"., "...:,':,..'

But maybe he can answer that. Horow/ Fences go right to the buildings. There is no question about it. Larry- Larry schnittjer/ The design requested by the neighbors at the first part of this development was that the pond be completely isolated from the public. The improvements for the first phase, we have essentially done that, and we don't want to change the character in midstream because the neighbors seem to be happy with that concept. As far as connecting to the trails to the village Green South, at the present time we are not extending the development in the direction where that connection will take place. The connection will take place but it will come through a short portion of Village Green South and it will then connect with the Village Green street sidewalk network. It will not be a "trails" through this part of village Green. Horow/ If there were need or use of signage for sidewalks and streets, that would have to go to the Village Green Association I am assuming. Schnittjer/ Yeah. The part where it will connect to the Village Green South trailways system or what ever you want to call it is at a future development area. pigott/ But it would not connect through a system of trails, just streets and sidewalks. Schnittjer/ The village Green area does not have a system of trails through it. It ha got a system of open spaces through the backyards in some areas and this particular portion of the OPDH plan that we are working with now does not have public access to that private green space because of the neighborhood concern. Horow/ That is too bad. There is two conflicting values here. They didn't want the kids falling in- Throg/ Sandy, did you have another point you wanted to make. Horow/ Thanks, Larry. Rhodes/ I would just like to comment on village Green South. That is also a wet bottom storm water detention basin in which there are no plans to fence it off or protect the public from this alleged threat. That is it. Thank you. F091394 ... . ',.

Throg/ Sue, with regard to item #2 on the 28E agreement, the language says when the area designated on the map when developed so as to require municipal sanitary sewer it shall be considered for severance by Iowa City and annexation by Coralville. I guess I want to repeat something that I said last night. Which basically is that, at least in my view, that statement should not be taken to mean that just because someone applies to us for development and severance and annexation that we will necessarily do that. That we would act on a case by case basis based on our knowledge of that particular situation at the time. Nov/ That is why we changed it to say considered. Throg/ I know. I am just trying to be clear about what that language means to me and I think it is what it means to the rest of us. I , , , , I '.' .,...., " I' , I I , KUbby/ And I prefer that it means that-or that the language would be so that it automatically happen. But I think this agreement still keeps with the philosophy that areas within a water shed that can be sewered more easily in that water shed should go with the city that is in that watershed and that will be one of the important considerations when the request is made. So I can still vote for it because that intent is still there and that will be part of the equation. I' " . ,.~ I i i I ! " ! Horow/ Any other discussion. resolution is approved. Okay.

Alison Ames Galsted/ I am chair of the Human Rights Commission and I just would like to make some general comments about the chapter revision currently under consideration. Work on the proposed revision of Chapter 18 now Title 2 that is currently under consideration began back in the fall of 1991. The bulk of the work on this revision has been done in subcommittee. However, the commission, as a whole, has laboriously reviewed several drafts of the revision and discussed all of the significant changes in detail. I am very pleased to see the revision finally formally reaching the council although I know you have had several opportunities to review it in progress. Especially this past summer when the Commission sponsored two public forums on the revisions. Briefly, let me review our objectives. When we began the revision our objectives were to meet HUD's certification requirements regarding substantial equivalency with the Fair Housing Act, to eliminate repetition and inconsistency within the Chapter, to clarify and delineate commission procedures, to include a right to sue option in the complaint process modeled after the state code, and to expand the definition of family. The revision currently under consideration satisfies all the original goals with the exception of meting substantial equivalency with the Fair Housing Act. To the greatest extent we feel possible the Commission has, however, aligned the Housing portion of this Chapter with the Iowa state Code and the Federal Fair Housing Act. During the revision process it became apparent that there were other omissions and inconsistencies within the ordinance that needed to be remedied. Education, for instance, had previously not been addressed in the ordinance although the state code certainly protects that area, the area of education from discrimination, The Commission agreed that education is an area that needs to be addressed consistently across educational structures in Iowa city and should be addressed in the local ordinance and this has been added in this revision. Recognizing the need to expand the definition of family to be more inclusive in our community the Commission has added an article on domestic partnership to the Chapter. This article creates a domestic partnership registry with the city recognizing the importance of getting a mechanism for public acknowledgment of domestic partnerships. Thank you. The commission, like the council, looks forward to hearing further public comment on the proposed revision. Horow/ I have a question for staff right now regarding the registry. Marian, are you comfortable with the amount of the fee. The fact that the fee is within the Human Rights Ordinance. Many times or most of the time our fees are not in the ordinance.

And the Commission was notified of that. And this would be inconsistent with the present code to include the fees by ordinance rather than by resolution. Horow/ Ms. Galsted, would there be-would the Commission be offended if we took the fees out of the ordinance and put them- Galsted/ (Can't hear). Gentry/ No problem, we will fix that. " Kubby/ Although the one ironic thing-I made a note to myself on the ordinance was when we first talked about having a pesticide ordinance and a registry, there was no fee for people who applied pesticides and we were going to go with that. But here we are going to have a fee, And for some things-well, then we changed it. But I hope when we are doing registries we become consistent. Either no fee or fees and we have been going towards the fee. I, ' , I Horow/ To reflect the administration and costs. KUbby/ And some things since then that didn't have fees now have fees. So that we are being more consistent. CD Horow/ Anybody else care to address council on this p.h, This represents a lot of work and we really appreciate it what all you have done. ..- " J (..c,,,, \ \ Kubby/ I am not sure why I didn't bring all of my notes. I guess I was thinking this was a p.h. and I will be listening but there are a few things that I have questions about that could be changes if they are agreed to by council and so I guess I would ask that we continue the p.h., plan to vote on it. A few things I could talk about tonight. The other things I could put in a note to council. f,ol .~ '~"-"'1 ~: Baker/ Are there changes in the ordinance that you are suggesting that council make.

Nov/ Also that gives us a little time to send it back to the Commission and let them review these changes. Kubby/ They are not big things. There are some consistency things and reasons for them. I will write them out and get them to the Commission and to staff that works with the Commission. Horow/ okay. Would anyone else care to address council on this. Baker/ Sue, before you vote to continue the p.h. I had some questions. Yeah, I had an announcement if you don't mind, a couple of questions. I am surprised that you are it. I don't mean as far as your attendance. I mean as far as the public discussion here. I would have thought there would have been more discussion. I would like to convey to you a couple of questions that have come through me and for clarification because I think there may be some potential misunderstanding and this is probably the time to do it. On the two areas: the educational area and the domestic partner area. First one, education. The question has been raised to me and I have talked to Heather and Anne on it in private but I think it is something that should be discussed in public as well. Some comments have been made that this, since the Iowa city School District already has a very strong sexual harassment policy and program and process for grievance that there seems to be some redundancy there. why is it that you feel the necessity to include education when the school district already has a program. Would you comment on that. Galsted/ This doesn't in any way usurp that process, the internal process that can happen in the school district. This is just another avenue that complaints-discrimination can be addressed. Also we are not talking about just the public schools when we are talking about education. We are talking about private schools as well. And we are looking for consistency and that extra avenue. Baker/ I understand that all the possible schools affected by this have been notified. representatives of those schools. that could be I mean the Galsted/ There have been several public notices regarding the ordinance revision and certain individuals were targeted certainly before the last of our public forums. I can't tell you exactly who received the revised one. Baker/ But the important was that you haven't received any negative feedback from any other sources.

We certainly have been apprised of all of the responses that came in and there were none that I was apprised of. Helling/ I know Alison wasn't aware because we just did this after the p.h. was set but we did go through and try to identify every school or every educational agency in the community and sent them a notice of the p.h. and a copy of the ordinance. Baker/ One of the problems you sometimes have, not just with this issue but with all things that have p.h.s is people come back later and say I didn't know. I want to make sure that people do know. Nov/ I think our public school has an excellent plan. Their statements are very well written and their directions to their constituents, the public, students or staff, is if we do not satisfy you in house the next line of appeal is the state commission. Now we have created intermittent line of appeal because they can appeal now to the city and this is important, particularly for a low income parent. They don't have to go all the way to Des Moines pt this point if we adopt it this way. I think you did the right thing. Kubby/ Make sure that it also stated in the school plan, too, that you can go to the city and/or the state. Horow/ I would ask council for a motion to accept correspondence from the League of Women Voters who support the revisions in the Iowa city Human Rights Ordinance. Moved by Throg, seconded by Baker (to accept correspondence). Any discussion. All those in favor signify by saying aye (ayes), Baker/ Alison, I have one more question. It is on the domestic partner inclusion, This is a question from a local employer who has the potential of extending benefits to domestic partners. I understand the purpose of this registry. The question is does this definition or does these guidelines established in this ordinance will require all business employers to use those standards when determining benefits. For example, can an employer say we will have a domestic partner policy but the standards are different than what is in the ordinance, Is there a potential conflict there. What is the long term implications of this definition. Galsted/ There is no conflict that I see.

'''" r I I , I i I the definition of a domestic partnership in here is simply the specifications for the registry. And that is not a mandate at all. It is simply a mechanism for public recognition of the partnership. It would certainly be at the discretion of the employer if they chose to, adopt those same specifications. But they are certainly are at liberty to use others. Baker/ But if they adopted specifications that required proof of joint ownership or some other sort of tangible proof of the relationship, it would not be in violation of this ordinance. Galsted/ No. No. KUbby/ That is good to know because the city requires more. Baker/ I know. Horow/ Is there a motion to continue this until October 11.

It is suppose to be 34:1 and 20:1, is that right. Oh well. Dick Blum/ Chairman of the Johnson County/Iowa city Airport zoning commission. I am here primarily to answer questions. I was asked by a member of the public to respond to a question that they had which I said I would do. And the question was why, related to the timing, why are we doing this or why are we able to do this at this particular point in time and why weren't we able to do it previously. And the answer to the question is that this is a very complex issue. It doesn't seem so when you look at it in this point in time. The regulations which govern these approach slopes are contained in a set of federal regulations. The federal government has taken control of all airspace and has exercised that control to establish certain requirements around airports. The regulation which governs this particular action is not one which is spelled out. It is one in which we arrived at by interpretation. And once we got the idea and our interpretation was made we forwarded that interpretation to the FAA in Kansas city to see if my interpretation of the rules is correct. They weren't sure and they had to forward it in turn to the FAA in Washington D.C. who ultimately responded that in fact that was the correct interpretation and we were able to proceed with this modification. And so I guess what I am saying is that it is the very complexity of this set of regulations which has contributed to perhaps not getting this done the instance that it was available to get done. And that is the answer to that question the best that I can give it. Horow/ Thank you, Dick. Anybody else care to address this. Anybody else has questions for Dick. Okay, thank you very much.

Certain people in the audience still owe me money for candy bars and chocolate mints. I will be here for another fifteen minutes if anybody in the public would like to drive down to the Civic Center. I am selling chocolate mints and chocolate candy bars for my children. It is not an abuse of power but I stand on the street corners and do this. Kubby/ Larry, is the chocolate organic. Baker/ It is not only organic, it will clog up every organ in your body is what this will do. Second thing is this is a traffic control issue and this has been bugging me for let me count the years-twelve years. Ever since I have moved. A little after I had moved to Iowa city. If you drive down South Johnson Street or South Van Buren Street from Burlington to the end of that street south after 5:00 it is demolition derby death trap. It is one way traffic because cars are legally parked on both sides of the street. Is there some way. I don't know what the process is. But is there some way to get one side of that street permanently no parking. Kubby / But that eliminates odd even parking which there is a purpose. Atkins/ The answer to your question is yes it can be done. They have to agree. Pigott/ The question is whether there is consensus on council to do it. Baker/ I just raised the issue, I don't live down there but- Atkins/ Normally what we do, Larry, on parking issues if we get a request that comes from the neighborhood is we do a postal card survey explaining in what the proposal is and virtually folks vote for the thing. Baker/ Let me tell you what will happen when you do a postcard survey because you have done it before on those same two streets. You will get a 50/50 split. I want the other side of the street closed. I want this side of the street closed. You come to consensus. Throg/ Is your expectation if we eliminate parking on one side of the street that traffic speeds will be reduced. Is that what your- F091394 - J . 0 ,,)':, "., " " ' " \ ""","'w.-.;. o - ' ...

Horow/ So in other words you are asking for a street rather than a parking lot. Baker/ Yeah. And in the winter time when you get the snow and the other stuff built up the cars are pushed further out into the street. Horow/ I would ask staff- Atkins/ What is the street. Baker/ South Johnson and South Van Buren from Burlington to the end of those streets. Lehman/ Steve, have we had complaints about those streets from residents on those streets. Atkins/ I haven't had any. Baker/ I would be surprised. It is a parking lot. Kubby/ It is a very densely populated, densely traveled section and I think your options are to take a collector or arterial street or slow down. Horow/ Ride your bike. KUbby/ People just have to slow down and be courteous. I have lived in that area for a long time and I don't drive a whole lot but you just have to take your turn just like driving in a big city in a densely populated area. The odd even is important for snow removal and for keeping people not using the street as a parking lot. And the one result of that is people can park on both sides of the street after five. Baker/ I am not losing a lot of sleep over this issue but it just seems to be one of those clear examples where we got a public street turned into a parking lot and a two lane street is basically a one lane street. Atkins/ Meter it. Nov/ That still doesn't account for after 5:00. Horow I Do you have anything else Mr. Baker. This subj ect is degenerating here.

Horow/ I don't think you have got it. Baker/ I am just trying to do my small part. Pigott/ Two things, Madam Mayor. Last night we talked about a letter we received from a constituent regarding bicycles being confiscated from the meters along some of these streets and I wondered if steve, perhaps you could update us in what we talked about a little bit last, night concerning those issues. Atkins/ It had been sort of an annual event whereby the police would sort of make a sweep and remove bicycles and hopefully the intent was to discourage the strapping of bicycles to virtually every sort of public fixture imaginable in d.t., particularly parking meters. It is a fairly common complaint that we receive. The biggest complaints are that the bike is hooked onto a parking meter, I get out to pay, I have to walk around the bike, or if a park parallel to the curb, I bump into the bike. We have had bikes chained to bikes and it is more of ad. t. nuisance. We get merchant complaints. So what we do and we are going to do now and we won't be doing it for some time yet because we don't have the tags is we are going to tag bikes to sort of encourage better bikepersonship. pigott/ In conjunction with efforts to increase the number of bike racks in town. .~ k", lJr"I ," . " , ":'r" I, , i I ' ' I ,; Atkins/ And if you will recall a couple of months ago you authorized to do that and we have some new bike racks in and we have many more on order. They just simply haven't arrived yet and I can assure you when they come in they will get installed properly. pigott/ We talked about perhaps some experimental-some other things to do with meters and perhaps different ways to deal with it. Atkins/ I think there is a variety of ways to deal with it. You just have to get folks to- pigott/ And the city will also be experimenting with other ways to do that. I I" I ~. I ,~ \ Nov/ I would like to add one more idea to this bright tag that you are going to put on the bicycle. Urge them to stop at the stop lights. Atkins/ Bike patrol has been really pretty successful about encouraging them.

But I really admit to great frustration to walking on sidewalks d.t. or at the University and being almost run over by conrads on bicycles. There is a problem there. There is no question about that. Atkins/ It is really those kind of issues that you just stay after it is about the best you can do. Horow/ Mr. Pigott, do you have anything else. Pigott/ I do have something else, Madam Mayor.

That is great. pigott/ So, thank you very much. Throg/ I guess I would like to say that last week I took part in a bus tour of major developments throughout Iowa city and this tour was sponsored by E. A. It was a very very interesting tour. Charlie Ruppert took part in the tour as did Bruce Glasgow as did some new residents to Iowa city as did some E.A. members as did some older folks who seemed not to be affiliated with E. A. at all. It was a very interesting ride and we had a lot of productive dialogue and conversation back and forth. I mean it was amazing to be on that bus and listen to the chatter and the buzz as we are going along from site to site. We got off at three different sites. One being the Northeast part of the city, another being the water plant and the third being the Near South Side area. So another thing I want to say is I want to praise Carol sweeting up in the Water Division for her job in briefing us when we stopped at the F091394 - .J ~ . - ]'..' , ,,'0>",',:," ,'.,,',.

She did a real fine job of letting us know what was happening and why. So, I just wanted you to know it was a real terrific tour and I think a very productive one. Pigott/ It was interesting that you had both developers and other people in which you had dialogue. Throg/ Well, standing on a hillside north of First Avenue where it ends near Hickory Trail Subdivision. standing out there as the sun is setting and walking with Bruce and talking with the other folks on E. A. and hearing people ask questions back and forth was really quite a fascinating experience. A good thing. Horow/ Anything else. Throg/ No thanks. Kubby/ We had received a letter from someone about the timing of a stop light at Burlington (can't hear). And I know Jeanette Ockenfels has been here maybe three or four different occasions and we have had other interest in making sure there is enough time on the walk and don't walk blinking time for people to functionally get across safely. I just realized, Mark your letter helped spur this next question, we have never, I don't think, directed our traffic engineer to look at this again and what affects it has on the other lights and how to do that. Atkins/ I did. I read that letter. I should have something for you by your next meeting. It is on its way. Lehman/ May I ask a question. Is the light longer if you push the button than if you do not. Atkins/ To my knowledge, no. It should make no difference. Nov/ Actually, if you don't push the button you don't get a way to cross. Throg/ I think Mark's letter refers to a need for a lever because some people- Atkins/ Oh a device to make it easier. Throg/ Because some people are not physically capable of pushing a button and I have watched Mark going across that street several times and it is pretty difficult.

Or we-I don't know if is second consideration. I had a few people make comments about the thing wasn't clear about if you adopt an animal you are responsible for the feeding and care taking fees plus the adoption fees and the spay fees and the answer is no. If your animal is at large, like many of us on council-myself included, and your creature has been in the pound for three days, that is when you are responsible for paying the feed and housing costs. Not for when you are adopting it. I wanted to clarify that because a few people made comments. Novl This will be clarified in writing because it was vague the way it was written. Kubby/ So are we going to change the language in the ordinance- Nov/ It wasn't an ordinance. KUbby/ It was a resolution. GentrYI We are changing it. Nov/ We will just make it clearer. Kubby / And lastly, I wanted to let people know about an event coming up this weekend, September 16-17, Friday & Saturday, the '94 Iowa Women's Music Festival. This is the first time the festival has occurred and there will be childcare provided for all the different events which include workshops, things as diverse as massage, country line dancing, as well as music and open mic all day. And some main stage entertainment at night. All women are encouraged to come regardless of ability to pay. It is fully accessible in terms of economics. And again, childcare is provided. You can get a hold of WRAC for more information at 335-1486. There will also be vendors and drumming and all sorts of ways to get involved passively or actively. Horow/ Thank you.
