Imo\ Chamber Alliance
A unified voice for economic growth
2012 Agenda
Hlowa
Chamber Alliance
2012 Legislative
Policy Agenda
The Iowa Chamber Alliance provides leadership on
key issues and strategic policy recommendations
for achieving an environment conducive to
economic growth in Iowa. Growth is achieved
with competitive taxes, responsible stewardship
of taxpayer dollars, investment in infrastructure,
forward- looking programs that incentivize
entrepreneurship and attract investment, and a
stable regulatory environment rooted in science
and weighed for efficiency and cost - effectiveness.
The potential for Iowa to grow in 2012 and
beyond is strong. Iowa's finances are improving.
The economic development structure for Iowa
has been updated. And, national attention has
highlighted Iowa's workforce strengths and relative
resilience during the national economic downturn.
Further, there is broad agreement on the issues
still requiring attention:
• Property taxes
• Education reform
• Transportation & infrastructure investment
What remains to be seen is whether or not there
will be broad agreement on how these issues will
be addressed. These policy issues are priorities
of the 2012 Legislative Policy Agenda for the Iowa
Chamber Alliance.
The Alliance provides the following overview on
these issues as guidance for how the Governor
and Legislature can approach these important
issues to further drive economic growth for Iowa.
The Iowa Chamber Alliance supports property tax
relief that follows a set of four core principles:
1. The property tax relief must be substantive
and permanent with the tax savings
targeted to commercial and industrial
classes of property.
2. Any move toward real reform must
move the four locally assessed classes
of property taxpayers closer to
equitable treatment.
3. Consideration must be given to the impact a
relief proposal may have on the budgets of
local governments. While local governments
should not have an expectation to "be
made whole," it is not in the best interest
of economic growth for Iowa to simply push
property tax relief onto the budgets of
local governments.
4. Any proposal should be tethered to
the values of simplicity, transparency
and predictability.
Corporate Income Tax
The Iowa Chamber Alliance supports efforts to
simplify and reduce corporate income taxes
as a means to better market Iowa's economic
development efforts.
Personal Income Tax
s personal income tax is overly complex.
icity should be pursued with respect
✓a's personal income tax code so that
can better market itself for economic
dopment. Flattening and streamlining
personal income tax will help illustrate
t Iowa is working to attract business
d new jobs.

Economic Development
The successful creation of the new Iowa
Economic Development Authority and the Iowa
Partnership for Economic Progress - a concept
for a private public partnership born out of the
Iowa Chamber Alliance - provides the flexibility,
nimbleness and expertise needed for economic
development for the entire state of Iowa. Now,
this new entity requires a new set of economic
development incentives and tools to help fulfill
its mission. Existing incentives need to be
reviewed for their effectiveness.
Transportation
Infrastructure
Iowa needs to update and repair its transportation
infrastructure. Quality roads are critical for
economic growth. With respect to increases in
the Iowa fuel levies, the Iowa Chamber Alliance
supports fully applying the TIME -21 formula to the
entire Road Use Tax Fund. While a balance must
be struck to support Iowa's rural and agricultural
economy, more dollars must flow toward Iowa's
most traveled roads, which also drive commerce
and economic growth for Iowa.
L!
Workforce Development
Education
Comprehensive education reform is
critical for Iowa from three perspectives:
1. Iowa must ready a globally prepared
workforce to compete with the challenges
of the 21st Century in advanced
manufacturing, life- sciences, agriculture,
professional services, and other high - paying
quality job creating sectors.
2. Iowa must ensure a high quality of life as
a tenant of our economic development
activities. Businesses should want to locate
in Iowa because of our high quality of life
and top performing schools are at the
top of the list.
3. As grandparents, parents, and future parents
of children in Iowa, we have an obligation to
provide the best and brightest opportunities
for the youngest residents of Iowa.
General Business
The Iowa Chamber Alliance supports the
periodic review and cost - benefit analysis of
rules and regulations related to Iowa businesses.
Rules and regulations should be evaluated for
effectiveness, cost - efficiency to enforce, as
well as financial impact on the regulated
business. Regulatory stability is also important
to business. As such, the Alliance supports a
review and an oversight process of automatic
"sunsets" of rules and regulations.
The Iowa Chamber Alliance strongly supports
maintaining Iowa's Right -to -Work status and
advocates for a level playing field with respect
to employer - employee relations.

Subject: Fluoridation Ineffective & Harmful, studies show
Fluoridation Opposition is Scientific, Respectable & Growing
New York — Dec 2011 -- More than 3,825 professionals (including 328 dentists) urge that fluoridation be
stopped citing scientific evidence that ingesting fluoride is ineffective at reducing tooth decay and has serious
health risks. See statement: http://www.fluoridealert.orp-/professionals-statement.aspx
Eleven US EPA unions representing over 7000 environmental and public health professionals are calling for a
moratorium on fluoridation. (b)
The CDC reports that 225 less communities adjusted for fluoride between 2006 and 2008. About 100 US and
Canadian communities rejected fluoridation since 2008. In Nebraska, 53 out of 66 towns voted not to fluoridate
in 2008 and 2010, reports the PEW Foundation
In 2011 the following US cities stopped fluoridation: Mechanicsville, Iowa, Grantsburg, WI; Marcellus and
Mt. Clemens, MI; Fairbanks and Palmer, Alaska; Spring Hill, Lawrenceburg & Hohenwald, TN; Philomath,
OR; Pottstown, PA; College Station and Lago Vista, Texas ; Spencer, Indiana; Naples, NY; Pinellas County and
Tarpon, FL; Amesbury, MA and Yellow Springs, Ohio.
In Canada: Lake Shore, Ontario; Calgary, Slave Lake and Taber, Alberta; Flin Flon, Manitoba; Vercheres,
Quebec;_ Lake Cowichan and Williams Lake, BC. In New Zealand: New Plymouth and Taumarunui.
Many cities are considering stopping fluoridation including New York City
Since the professionals' statement was first issued, the following new studies were published:
-- Colgate reports, studies confirm "the association between infant formula consumption and permanent
dentition fluorosis." (27)
-- The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that 91 % of rural Alaskan Native adolescents have cavities
whether their water is fluoridated or not. (26)
-- The CDC reports that over 41% of 12 -15 years olds are afflicted with dental fluorosis
due to fluoride over - exposure.
-- "The prolonged ingestion of fluoride may cause significant damage to health and particularly to the nervous
system," concludes a review of studies by researchers Valdez- Jimenez, et al. published in Neurologia (June
2011). The research team reports, "It is important to be aware of this serious problem and avoid the use of
toothpaste and items that contain fluoride, particularly in children as they are more susceptible to the toxic
effects of fluoride"
-- Commonly- consumed infant fruit juices contain fluoride, some at levels higher than recommended for pubic
water supplies, according to research was presented 3/17/2011 at the International Association for Dental
Research annual meeting in San Diego (23)
-- The 25th study linking fluoride to lowered IQ is published in the December 25, 2010 Journal of Hazardous
Material
-- Water fluoride chemicals boosts lead absorption in lab animals' bones, teeth and blood, was reported by
Sawan, et al. (Toxicology 2/2010). Earlier studies already show children's blood - lead - levels are higher in
fluoridated communities, reports Sawan's research team.
-- State University of New York researchers found more premature births in fluoridated than non - fluoridated
upstate New York communities, according to a presentation made at the American Public Health Association's
annual meeting on November 9, 2009 in Philadelphia.
-- Researchers reported in the Oct 6 2007 British Medical Journal that fluoridation never was proven safe or
effective and may be unethical. (4)
-- Scientific American editors wrote in January 2008, "Some recent studies suggest that over - consumption of
fluoride can raise the risks of disorders affecting teeth, bones, the brain and the thyroid gland"
-- A study in the Fall 2008 Journal of Public Health Dentistry reveals that cavity -free teeth have little to do with
fluoride intake. Researchers report, "The benefits of fluoride are mostly topical... while fluorosis is clearly more
dependent on fluoride intake."
-- Research published in Biological Trace Element Research (April 2009). indicates that blood fluoride levels
were significantly higher in patients with osteosarcoma than in control groups. (13) Osteosarcoma, a rare bone
cancer, occurs mostly in children and young adults
-- All infant formula, whether concentrated or not, contain fluoride at levels that can discolor teeth - even
organic, according to research published in the October 2009 Journal of the American Dental Association. (16)
-- Fluoride avoidance reduced anemia in pregnant women, decreased pre -term births and enhanced babies birth -
weight, concludes leading fluoride expert, AK Susheela and colleagues, in a study published in Current Science
(May 2010). http• / /www fluorideandfluorosis. com/ Anemia / Current %20Science %20Reprint.pdf
The science showing fluoride's adverse effects caused the following:
-- Prominent Hispanic Civil Rights Organization (League of United Latin American Citizens) votes to oppose
fluoridation as a civil rights violation. (July 2011) (25)
-- Water Fluoridation Injury Lawsuit Filed in Federal Court -
A 13- year -old's fluoride - discolored teeth was allegedly caused by drinking fluoridated bottled water since
infancy. Her Mom is suing the bottlers for the cost to cover up the unsightly teeth.
See: http : / /www.nidellaw.com /blog/?p =66
-- Because fluoride can disproportionately harm poor citizens and black families, Atlanta civil rights leaders,
former UN Ambassador Andrew Young and Reverend Gerald Durley, PhD have asked Georgia legislators to
repeal the state's mandatory water fluoridation law, April 2011. (24) They have recently been joined by Martin
Luther Kings's daughters Bernice and Alveda
-- HHS Assistant Secretary for Health, Dr. Howard Koh, says all infant formulas, either concentrated or ready -
to -feed, already contain some fluoride and, when routinely mixed with fluoridated water, increase the risk of
dental fluorosis (discolored teeth), in a video commentary published on Medscape.com, March 8, 2011
-- The Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends NO fluoride supplementation
and advises, that "If children brush their teeth twice daily, they do not need fluoridated bottled water." Winter
2011
-- A bipartisan group of Tennessee legislators urge the TN Health Department to stop promoting fluoridation.
(Feb 14, 2011) (22)
-- US Department of Health and Human Services recommends lowering water fluoride levels to stem to rising
rates of dental fluorosis from all sources. (January 2011)
- -- The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Water will lower safe water fluoride levels because of
concerns that fluoride adversely affects bones and teeth. (January 2011)
-- The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Pesticides proposes to ban fumigant sulfuryl fluoride
because of the concern of harmful levels of fluoride residues on foods such as cocoa beans. (Jan 2011)
-- On April 12, 2010, Time magazine listed fluoride as one of the "Top Ten Common Household Toxins" and
described fluoride as both "neurotoxic and potentially tumorigenic if swallowed."
-- The National Kidney Foundation dropped its fluoridation support replacing it with this caution: "Individuals
with CKD [Chronic Kidney Disease] should be notified of the potential risk of fluoride exposure." (3)
-- Dr. A. K. Susheela, a leading fluoride expert, explains in a video why US physicians overlook fluoride as a
possible cause of diseases commonly caused by fluoride. http: / /tinmrI.com /Susheela
-- A Tennessee State legislator, Joey Hensley, who is also an MD is urging all Tennessee Water Districts to stop
fluoridation, reported a Tennessee newspaper on 11/29/08. At least 30 Tennessee water districts have already
complied with his request.(6)
- -- A video was created explaining the Bizarre origination of fluoridation chemicals.

Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Arvid Carlsson, says, "Fluoridation is against all principles of modern pharmacology.
It's really obsolete."
Fluoride jeopardizes health - even at low levels deliberately added to public water supplies, according to data
presented in a 2006 National Academy of Sciences' (NAS) National Research Council (NRC) report. Fluoride
poses risks to the thyroid gland, diabetics, kidney patients, high water drinkers and others and can severely
damage children's teeth. (11) At least three panel members advise avoiding fluoridated water.
"The NRC fluoride report dramatically changed scientific understanding of fluoride's health risks," says Paul
Connett, PhD, Executive Director, Fluoride Action Network. "Government officials who continue to promote
fluoridation must testify under oath as to why they are ignoring the powerful evidence of harm in the NRC
report," he added.
This and other little -known adverse fluoride health effects led Connett to co- author, "The Case Against
Fluoride: How Hazardous Waste Ended Up in Our Drinking Water and the Bad Science and Powerful Politics
that Keep it There," with James Beck, MD, PhD, professor emeritus of medical physics, University of Alberta
and Spedding Micklem, DPhil, professor emeritus at Edinburgh University.(20)
The Professionals' Statement also references:
-- The new American Dental Association policy recommending infant formula NOT be prepared with
fluoridated water.
-- The CDC's concession that the predominant benefit of fluoride is topical not systemic.
-- Major research indicating little difference in decay rates between fluoridated and non - fluoridated
communities.
-- A Harvard study indicating a possible link between fluoridation and bone cancer.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG), a DC watchdog, revealed that a Harvard professor concealed the
fluoridation/bone cancer connection for three years. EWG President Ken Cook states, "It is time for the US to
recognize that fluoridation has serious risks that far outweigh any minor benefits, and unlike many other
environmental issues, it's as easy to end as turning off a valve at the water plant."

Re: Refuse Collection
Dear Mr. Walters:
cccccr
CITY OF IOWA CITY
The Mayor forwarded me a copy of your letter about red light cameras and refuse collection. Please allow me to address
your questions regarding refuse.
We began implementing the refuse tipper carts about 10 years ago to reduce injuries to our refuse workers caused by
repetitive lifting of heavy garbage cans and bags. They have been very successful in this regard. They also represent
our first step into volume based rates. The tipper carts are five gallons smaller than what our customers were previously
allowed to put at the curb. Customers that have more garbage than will fit in their tipper cart are required to pay one
dollar per bag to dispose of additional waste. Last year, customers paid extra to dispose of about 14,500 bags of refuse.
Although feedback about the tipper carts has been overwhelmingly positive, we do occasionally hear from customers who
feel the carts are too small, or in your case, too big.
I understand from your letter that the cart is difficult for you to use because of your age and the steep nature of your front
yard. Let me offer the following solutions for you.
• The City of Iowa City offers a carryout service for elderly and handicap residents. Our staff will pick up your refuse
and recycling from a convenient location in the front or alongside of your home. Many of the residents who utilize
this service choose to do so only in the winter months due to snow and ice. There are no additional fees for this
service; we only ask that your doctor fax a request to our office stating that you are unable to get your refuse to
the curb. After we receive the request we can initiate the carryout service for you.
• If you prefer to continue taking your refuse to the curb we can allow you to leave just a bag provided it is as light
as you noted in your letter. If you choose this option we ask that you keep your tipper cart for occasions when
you have heavier loads.
If you would like to use either of these options, please call our Solid Waste Clerk, Toni Davis at 356 -5180 so that she can
inform our staff that serve your route.
If you have additional questions or comments, please feel free to give me a call at 356 -5466.

Iowa City, IA 52245
Dear Mayor Hayek:
I'd like to comment on two matters under consideration by the City
Council— traffic cameras and increasing garbage pickup rates.
While the use of "red light" cameras may be problematic, there can be little
argument that speed cameras are effective. This is the biggest threat in my
neighborhood and many others. Speed cameras —as so clearly demonstrated
in Cedar Rapids on Interstate 380 —work perfectly to solve the problem.
I strongly recommend that you read Tom Vanderbilt's "Traffic: Why We
Drive The Way We Do (and What Its Says About Us" (available from the
Iowa City Public Library). You'll learn a great deal about how we can make
streets safer, but 1 bet you'll come away from it agreeing with Vanderbilt's
number one point: if we want to make traffic safer, ,lust slow it down.
I'd like to see speed cameras on all the important arterial streets — Burlington,
Dodge, Governor, Jefferson, Market, Muscatine, Rochester, First Avenue, and
Dubuque. Imagine all these streets with traffic moving at the speed limit.
Imagine safe streets. Put up the cameras and you won't have to use your.
imagination.
My new garbage cart is a pain in all my aching 64-:year-old joints. Wrestling it
down four sets of steps to the street — especially in icy weather like last
week -is something I fear may kill or cripple me. Worse, the cart itself
weighs more than the garbage I put in it— normally less than ten pounds a
week.
Now I read there is a proposal to raise garbage rates. How about charging for
this service by usage rates, like water? I feel like those of us to do
comprehensive recycling, compost our kitchen wastes, and try to live a less
consumption - oriented life are being made to subsidize those who do none of
these things. Why not charge based on use?
Copies to: Tom Markus Sincerely,
Marcia Bollinger

Thank you for your letter requesting a raised crosswalk /speed table on Park Road at Ferson Street. I
understand that this request is in addition to the recently installed curb ramps and school crosswalk
signs at this location. These were installed in response to concerns expressed about the number of
elementary- school aged children living on the north side of Park Road near Ferson Street.
The raised crosswalk that you have requested falls into the category of traffic calming devices. The City
has a policy of not implementing traffic calming devices on arterial streets because they function as
emergency response and transit routes. While we certainly understand the goal of reducing traffic
speeds in and near neighborhoods, the trade -offs are such that we recommend other strategies (such as
school crosswalks and traffic speed enforcement) instead of physical changes to arterial streets. We
have implemented medians on some arterial streets (such as First Avenue near HyVee) to assist
pedestrian crossings. However Park Road is a narrow two -lane street and the width (25 -feet) is not
sufficient for a median or similar installation. The narrow width has the benefit of making Park Road a
relatively short pedestrian crossing. Another complicating factor is that raised cross walks require storm
sewer intakes since the natural flow of storm water in the gutter line is interrupted. There is currently
no storm sewer at this intersection and it would need to be extended to this area.
Our Traffic Engineering Planners have completed a stop -sign analysis at this intersection for Park Road at
Ferson Street, and the location does not meet the warrants necessary for installation of a stop sign.
Adding stop signs that are not warranted often have the unintended consequence of increasing rear -end
collision rates and vehicles starting to ignore the stop signs due to the lack of intersecting traffic.
I trust the recently installed curb ramps and designated school crosswalk has provided a notable
improvement to the situation. I expect additional improvement next spring when warm weather
permits the crosswalk to be painted on the street. If you have additional questions, please feel free to
contact me or John Yapp.

Mr. Matt Hayek, Mayor of Iowa City
Dear Mr. Fosse,
The Lincoln Elementary PTO, concerned parents, and the Manville Heights Neighborhood
Association are writing to request that a raised crosswalk be installed on Park Road at the
person Avenue inLerseeLiun. There are approxiuiaLely 30 children now living north of Park and
cast of Ferson. This demographic change is the result of both the 2008 flood and natural
neighborhood turnover. The children are the driving force behind this request because they arc
required to cross Park Road for school, practices at the band field, going to City Park and
friends' houses. Their safe passage is currently hampered by:
1. Speeds on Park Road routinely exceed the posted 25 miles per hour limit. The city took
traffic speed data last week and the 85th percentile speeds on Park Road near Ferson are
33.9 MPH f'or wesLbound Lrallic, and 32.8 MPII for easLbound LrafTic. The local residenLial
street. ftaffic eahning progtain defines the ponnt at which a residential sLreeL qualifies for
speed humps as the 851.h percentile speeds at. least. five MPH over the posted speed limit.
2. The distance to the nearest school crossing guard is many blocks away and cannot be
relocated at this time. We are continuing to have discussions regarding the location of the
school crossing guard, but for the foreseeable future it is preferred that the crossing guard
remain at the Park Road/Lee Street intersection both to accommodate the existing
households utilizing the crossing guard, and because of the visibility constraint on Park
Road west of Lee.
3. Park Road is too busy /unsafe to walk along and is not the preferred route for the
children living north of Park/east of Ferson. Sidewalks on Park Road are narrow and on
the backside of the curb, making the walk up Park to the crosswalk at Lee St. unsafe. The
preference is to have the children cross Park Road at Ferson and use River St. to travel to
and from Lincoln Elementary. River is less busy, has wider sidewalks, and has "safety in
numbers" as many families walk that route to and from school.
Not only would the installation of a raised crosswalk help control speeds on Park Road and
provide safer crossing for the school children without requiring the relocation of the crossing
guard, it would also help establish a connection between the south and north sides of Manville
Heights furthering the community feel of the neighborhood. We believe this crosswalk would
assist all pedestrians crossing Park Road, not just school children.
While we realize Park Road is an arterial street used by the Fire Department, a raised crosswalk
would only minimally reduce their response time, while providing the benefit of safer passage
of Park Road for the pedestrians of the Manville Heights neighborhood. Similar crosswalks
exist in Iowa City on Riverside Drive and Shannon Drive and could be used as models for Park
Road.
We respectfully request your sincere consideration of this proposal.
Thank you,
Melissa Tigges, concerned parent and resident of Manville heights neighborhood

It is an emotional and physical gift you can give to yourself. It
is a form of celebration frequently used at weddings, reunions,

tures, it is a tool to ask for rain
or sun or a way of contacting an-
cestors. It can be a history book
or an unwritten book Dance is a
work of art in motion.
Traditionally, dance began as
a way in which one would tell
stories and tales so they could
be remembered and passed
down through generations. In
fact, archeologists have disco.
ered Egyptian tomb paintings of
people dancing that date as far
back as 3300 BC. Slowly, dance
evolved in a variety of different
directions — as entertainment
for lords and kings, as a way of
asking favors of gods of rain or
sun, and eventually as a means
of obtaining simple pleasure and
enjoyment.
Today, we most commonly think
of dance in this country as an art
form that refers to the rhythmic
manipulation and movement of
the body, usually set to music.
Recognized dances range every-
where from square dancing to
folk dancing to hip -hop and bal-
let. How each country, culture,
or person defines dance likely is
dependent upon their social, cul-
tural, artistic, and moral attitudes
and beliefs.
The American Dance Therapy
Association has conducted ex-
tensive research on some of the
benefits of dance. Commonly
referred to as "Body Movement
Therapy" dance therapy is used
in private practices, clinical prac-
tices, and alternative settings as
well. It has been proven to not
only help with physical well -being
but also aid in emotional growth.
Furthermore, it has been proven
DANCE
SONG
1 11 "1, A,
BODY
Martha Graham
to be beneficial in helping people
to have a better self- image, in-
creased self - confidence, and to
relieve stress.
Dancing has many physical ben-
efits as well. Beyond the obvious
exercise derived from any type
of dancing, it has been suggested
that dance helps to lubricate your
joints, which subsequently helps
to prevent arthritis. It also can
strengthen your bones, which is
imperative for post - menopausal
women because their bones are
absorbing decreased amounts of
calcium. Finally, dancing is also
beneficial for diabetics or those
with high bloods sugar, as it has
been known to lower blood sug-
ar levels.
Some research has suggested
that dance also improves one's
ability to focus and helps youth
and youngadults to increase their
productivity in the classroom. In
some circles, dance in and of it-
self is considered to be a form
of education, with whole orga-
nizations — such as the National
Dance Education Organization —
devoting time and money to ad-
vancing dance education in com-
munities and schools. Ironically,
dance itself is now considered a
form of education, and is offered
at both the undergraduate and
graduate levels at most major
universities.
Dance compliments people of all
ages, backgrounds, genders, and
beliefs. It provides us with relax-
ation and therapy, enhances our
education, and even provides a
lucky few with a career. Dance
is like the needle and thread that
binds us all together — regardless
of our languages, cultures, or tra-
ditions — that make up our social
fabric. It is important to make
use of it in order to ensure its
valuable gifts and lessons contin-
ue to transcend time and history.

of our dance instructors, and a list of
dance classes being offered through the
Parks and Recreation Department.

THE DANCE TEACHERS I Dance styles and training
I was fortunate enough to learn several styles of dance through
I my studio back home, so luckily I'm well- rounded. I love jazzy
OT styles of dance like jazz, contemporary and hip -hop, but I also
LOVE to tap! Give me anything with rhythm and I'm happy!

Arianna Russ
Hometown
Wauwatosa, Wisconsin — a small town just
outside of Milwaukee.
The journey to Iowa City
I moved hereto attend the University of Iowa.
What really drew me here was the dance pro-
gram — I'm a dance major now alongwith be-
ing on the pre - Physical Therapy track. I really
haveenjoyed both programs sofar — theyare
very different yet mix in some ways as well!
Best advice
My Dad has always told me, "There are three
types of people in this world: People who
watch things happen, people who wonder
what will happen, and people who make
things happen — bethat person who MAKES
things happen."
Pick one: Mexican or Italian food?
Tough one! Depends on my mood — I'm al-
ways down for some good Italian, but some-
times I get those cravings for some tasty au-
thentic Mexican. The south side of Milwaukee
has a bunch of really great Mexican restau-
rants, so Mexican often reminds me of home!
Favorite trip
My fa m i ly took a trip to Door County, Wiscon-
sin one Christmas and all of the kids thought
it was bound to be the most boring trip ever.
It turned out to be the most fun trip I've ever
taken because our family was able to spend
time together and we had tons of fun!
How long have you been teaching?
I've been teaching dance classes since I was about 13 years
old. I started doing it at the studio in my hometown and it was
something that I have always enjoyed.
The best part of being a dance instructor
It is very rewarding to see growth in a young dancer. Also the
enthusiasm that comes with being young and the excitement
that the kids have is inspiring.Their eagerness makes me want
to work hard and help them get better. It is such a positive
environment to be in and I love that.
The hardest part of being a dance instructor
Oftentimes — especially with very young dancers — kids are
having such a fun time with their friends in the class that they
forget that they have to pay attention to learning, as well.As
an instructor, I love that they are enjoying themselves so much,
but it can be hard to get them to stay focused.
Advice to people who want to learn, but
don't think they're capable enough to dance
It's a scary thing to do, but sometimes you just have to go for
it. By pushing yourself to simply try something new, you can
show yourself exactly what you're capable of!

L THE DANCE TEACHERS
Julia Stelmach
®1
About Julia
Julia is a full -time student at the University
of Iowa, working on a double major in Dance
Performance and Speech & Hearing Science.
She's been dancing or teaching dance for
over 15 years and loves everything from bal-
letto jazz.
What others may not know
I eatALLTHE TIME and I especially enjoy a
bowl of cereal every night before I go to bed!
Favorite music
I love all types of music but I would say
country is my favorite. My favorite musical
group is Lady Antebellum. I would love to see
them in concert!
If you could travel anywhere in the
world, where would it be and why?
I would love to go to Atlantis i n the Bahamas
because it looks like such a gorgeous place
— not to mention it's so nice and warm there.
Three words to describe yourself
Kind, sincere, and easygoing.
Pick one:
Horror Movie or Chick Flick?
Definitely chick flicks. I can't even watch
Disney Channel scary movies but I'm a fool
for love. My Mom and I always watch Chick
Flicks togetherwhen I'm home from college
and we always cry at exactly the same parts.
How long have you been teaching dance?
I began teaching dance informally during high school about
5 or 6 years ago in a dance studio room my Dad built in my
basement at home. I'm now in my second year teaching dance
at the Robert A. Lee Center. I'm also entering my fourth year
on staff with the Universal Dance Association (UDA) as a
dance camp instructor, where during the summer I travel
throughout the Midwest, teaching many styles of dance to
high school dance teams at universities, resorts, and private
camps held for specific teams.
The best part of being a dance instructor
My best experience is when I teach young children — I just
love how excited they all are, especially on that first day of
class. My best experience with the older dancers was after a
UDA camp this summer. One of the campers asked to have
her picture taken with me because she said she liked my
"aura" throughout the camp that previous week. I have so
many people that I have looked up to in my dance life, but to
have someone tell me thatTHEY actually looked up to ME...
wow! That was the most awesome feeling ever!
Favorite style of dance to teach
love teaching jazz! It seems that's when the children have the
most fun because they get to show their own personalities
and have fun with it.
Did you have a mentor or favorite
dance instructor when you were growing up?
Yes! My favorite dance instructor was Avnun Yakubov, a Rus-
sian Ballet Master from the Moscow Ballet who came to
America to teach ballet. I studied with him for nine years.
He not only taught me a love for ballet, but also taught me
many life lessons — how
to discipline myself, be re-
sponsible for my actions,
and work hard to succeed
while enjoying life in the
process.
Future plans
After completing my un-
dergraduate studies,I plan
to continue to dance as
well as teach and coach in
dance.I also plan to attend
graduate school to obtain
my doctorate degree in
audiology. My plan for the
future is to continue to
workwith children in both
fields indefinitely.

L THE DANCE TEACHERS
Kate Jochum
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
About Kate
Kate Jochum is a graduate student at the
University of Iowa. She has been taking
dance lessons or teaching dance classes
for most of her life, and currently teaches
a number of classes at the Robert A. Lee
Community Recreation Center.
Future plans
I am a Master's Student in the Library and
Information Science Program atthe Univer-
sity of Iowa. I hope to eventuallywork as a
children's librarian in a public library.
Funniest thing to happen
while performing or teaching
The back of a costume started unbutton -
ingwhile Iwas performing on stage. When
I found a momentto run off to have itfixed,
the person in thewings misunderstood what
I needed and began unbuttoning thetop
even more.I had to run back on stagewith
mytop half buttoned to finish the dance.
Other hobbies besides dance
I spend a lot of time in the library and
reading, but I also enjoy singing, baking
(especially puppy chow), making crafts,
collecting Beatles memorabilia, and
watching The Vampire Diaries.
Pick one: Iowa Football
or Chicago Cubs baseball?
Although I do IovetheCubs, I'm goingto
have to go with Iowa Football on this one!
When did you get started?
I took my first dance lesson when I was 2 years old. My par-
ents registered me for dance classes as social training for pre-
school and I just never wanted to quit. It has become one of
my greatest passions.
Professional instruction
I've studied a wide variety of types and styles for both dance
and music. I've studied ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, modern,
musical theatre and swing.
How long have you been teaching?
have been teaching a variety of styles for the last 10 years.
*Favorite thing about teaching
I love seeing the satisfaction on people's faces when they fig-
ure out how to do a new dance or new move. It's also great
when reluctant dancers have the realization they can dance. It's
an amazing feeling to have taught somebody something new
and to watch it develop into one of their greatest strengths

Robert A. Lee Recreation Center Pool
Open swim time
If you think that the swimming season has come to an end just because the leaves have fallen, the temperatures
have dropped, and snow will soon make a long -term appearance, you would be ... wrong! You can continue to
enjoy swimming and water exercise all winter long!
The Parks and Recreation Department maintains two indoor pools — one at the Robert A. Lee Recreation
Center and another at the Mercer ParkAquatic Center. Both offer open swim time for the public. Open swims
generally start at I p.m. daily, but it's a good idea to check out pool schedules at each facility to find out exactly
when open swim is scheduled.
Family swim
No plans this Saturday night? Then come on down to the Robert A. Lee Recreation Center Pool for Family
Swim Night from 6 to 8 p.m. and spend some quality "pool time" with the family! The Recreation Center pool
is large enough to accommodate advanced swimmers, yet small enough for younger kids to enjoy — and the
wading pool is perfect for families with small children! Cost is $1 per person; children aged 2 or younger are
admitted without charge. Come join us every Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. for great fun and exercise.
For more information, contact Matthew Eckhardt, Aquatics Program Supervisor, at 319.887.61 17 or call the
Recreation office at 3 19.356.5 100.

Farmers Market
glossary of terms
You probably hear a lot of terminology at a Farmers Market and won-
der what, exactly, a specific word means when it comes to your food
— so here's a Farmers Market glossary for some of the more com-
mon terms.
�y
Sustainable: This is probably one of the more common terms heard
/ / (� �/�
: when talking about the goal of a Farmers Market, and why many peo-
J
n 1/{ (l
• ple choose to shop there. According to the USDA's website (citation
1), "sustainable" can be defined by the following paragraph:
The goal of achieving a sustainable planet one that will accommodate the
�i n1p�
basic needs of its present inhabitants while preserving the resources that
V
will enable future generations to flourish, has gained increasing acceptance.
//// // /

Although certainly not mainstream at this point sustainable agriculture is

now being addressed by the agricultural community in significant ways.

I think the term is even better described in an article written by Jes-
sica Naudziunas, who asked the farmers themselves how they would
define it (citation 2). According to farmer William Powers of Ceresco,
Nebraska:
'To me and my wife, sustainable agriculture is a journey. It includes provid-
ing an economic opportunity for us to survive on the farm, while also provid-
ing a quality, healthy product for our family and our community and also
enhancing and nurturing the environment we farm in."
The Muskegon Farmers Market newsletter (citation 3) provides sev-
eral other definitions:

Mean to You?" by Jessica

Farm fresh:This phrase is a marketing term used in retail and direct
farm sales. In general, it means that the product is being purchased
directly from a farm. If freshness is a concern, ask when the produce
was harvested or the eggs collected.
Free - range: Free range (or free - roaming) is a general claim that im-
plies that a meat or poultry product, including eggs, comes from an
animal that was raised in the open air or was free to roam, but there is
no standard definition.The term is regulated by the USDA for use on
poultry only. USDA requires that "free range" birds be given access to
the outdoors, but for an undetermined period each day — although
they consider five minutes of open -air access each day to be adequate
enough to use the term. "Free range" claims on eggs and beef are not
regulated. To learn more about what is meant by this term, custom-
ers should ask the farmer or contact the manufacturer about their
specific practices.
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs): GMOs are plants and
animals that have had their genetic make -up altered in the laboratory
to exhibit traits that are not naturally theirs. For example, tomato
plants can be genetically altered so the tomatoes will store longer. In

general, genes are taken (copied) from one organism with a desired trait and transferred into the genetic code
of another organism. Genetic modification is currently allowed in conventional farming in the United States.
Heirloom: Heirloom varieties, also called farmers' varieties, traditional varieties, or landraces, have been
selected and developed by farmers through years of cultivation and seed savingTor the next season. Farmers
hand them down through generations.These varieties are often specifically suited to a certain climate and soil
type, and have been selected for flavor, pest resistance, productivity, and even beauty. Heirlooms are typically
very genetically diverse and variable.
Hormone -free: There is no government or official definition for this term except on meat and poultry
products as defined by the US Department of Agriculture. Use of the term "hormone- free" is considered
"unapprovable" by USDA on any meat products. Meat and poultry products carrying the "no hormones ad-
ministered" claim imply that the animal must not have received any added hormones during the course of its
lifetime.
Locally grown: This term refers to food that is grown near the point of its consumption. There is no stan-
dard definition for "local" when it comes to food — a particular definition of "local" might be based upon
county, state, region, watershed, or another boundary.Ask the market master how the market defines "local"
Organic: Organic farming relies on developing biological diversity in the field to disrupt habitat for pest or-
ganisms, and to maintain and replenish the soil. Organic farmers are not allowed to use synthetic pesticides
or fertilizers.
Certified Organic: The USDA is reponsible for managing the National Organic Program, which was imple-
mented in October 2002. Organic farming avoids the use of most artificial inputs, like synthetic pesticides and
fertilizers, and bans the use of animal by- products, antibiotics, and sewage sludge, among other practices.Any
food product (except fish) using the word "organic" must be certified as such by an official USDA accredited
certifier.
Pasteurize:This process involves heating the product to 160 °F for a few seconds and then immediately cool
ing it.The high temperature kills any bacteria that might be in the food product.
Quality and grading: The USDA, working with farmer organizations, has established quality standards and
grades for many types of food.These standards and grades are used to specify and price food sales in the
wholesale market. Many food products sold in Farmers Markets have not been graded, but remember that
bigger is not necessarily better. Some of the best - tasting produce is small and cosmetically imperfect. However,
you should not find bruised or rotting produce in the marketplace.
Transitional: Farmers need to practice organic methods for three years on a piece of land before the prod-
ucts grown there can be certified organic. "Transitional" means that the farmland is transitioning towards
organic certification.
USDA: The United States Department of Agriculture forms policy and procedures for food production and
processing at the national (federal) level, regulates interstate commerce of agricultural products, promotes
markets for U.S. agricultural products domestically and abroad, implements various food assistance and educa-
tion programs, and manages on -farm natural resource conservation programs.
Vine - ripened or tree - ripened: This term applies to fruit or vegetables that have ripened on the vine or
tree and then picked when ripe.They often taste better because their flavor and sugars have developed natu-
rallyThey can be delicate to the touch and too fragile to ship. Fruits shipped long distances may be picked
while still unripe, and later treated to "ripen" and soften them prior to being sold.

Fundraising drive underway for restoration
With the start of each new year comes the opportunity to set new goals and get new projects underway —
and in 2012, the Parks and Recreation Department hopes to get started on a project to restore the City Park
pioneer cabins. Located in a wooded area in Upper City Park, these two cabins offer a direct link to Iowa
City's and Johnson County's origins and the hardy pioneers who lived here more than 160 years ago, but at
present, they are little more than an underappreciated reminder of the past. Built in 1889 and 1913, they were
first known as the Old Settlers cabins and later as the Girl Scout cabins and then, home to hands -on exhibits
produced by Friends of the Children's Museum.
The City of Iowa City, along with the Friends of Historic Preservation, the Iowa City Historic Preservation
Commission, and the Johnson County Historical Society, are working together to restore the City Park cabins
and return them to use. When completed, the cabins will provide a social, natural, recreational, and educa-
tional setting relating to scouting, nature hikes, historic events, pioneer reenactments, and activities for all ages.
The restoration effort will be funded by private donations.The Parks and Recreation Department also hopes
that some grant funding may be possible.To make a contribution, please send a check made payable to "Iowa
City Parks and Recreation Foundation" and note "Cabin Restoration Donation" on the check's memo line.
Checks should be mailed to Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department, Attn: Joyce Carroll, 220 S. Gilbert
Street, Iowa City, IA 52240.
Additionally, the Parks and Recreation Department is seeking personal memories or photos of time spent at
the cabins. If you were a Girl Scout during the time the Scouts used the cabins,visited an exhibit by the Friends
of the Children's Museum, or have other cabin memories or photos to share, please send them to Joyce Car-
roll at the address listed above, or e -mail to Joyce - Carroll @iowa- city.org.

Recent funding awards
ECICOG prepared funding applications for grants recently awarded to a number of communities and organizations. The
$626,019 provided through these awards will further coordinate watershed management, support the construction and
preservation of affordable housing, and assist in the removal of dangerous, dilapidated properties. For more information on the
Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) Watershed Management Authority Grant Program, contact Jennifer Fencl
(ext. 131). Bart Knox (ext. 121) can provide information on the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Derelict
Building Program, and contact Tracey Achenbach (ext. 139) for information on the Iowa Finance Authority (IFA) and local
housing trust funds.
Regional housing assessment available
As part of ECICOG's regional disaster recovery strategy, the agency has created a consolidated update to the county-level
housing needs assessments prepared in 1999 and 2000. It is available for review and download at www.ecicoe.ore.
Unlike the previous county-level assessments, a comprehensive survey of housing conditions is not provided. Rather, the
update provides current data on housing characteristics, identifies housing trends, and informs a discussion of housing needs.
The housing assessment, which was funded in part by a grant from the Economic Development Administration, was written
by JJ Breen, former disaster recovery coordinator, and Scott Annis, ECICOG intem.
Reminder: the ECICOG offices will be closed on December 26 and January 2.

at 228 & 232 Bloomington is one property.
2. Public hearing to amend the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use

REZONING ITEMS:
REZ11 -00017 / VAC11- 00002: Discussion of an application submitted by Hunter
Properties for a rezoning from Low Density Multi - Family (RM -12) zone and Neighborhood
Stabilization Residential (RSN -20) zone to Planned Development Overlay Neighborhood
Stabilization Residential (OPD /RSN -20) zone for approximately 1 acre of property located
at 602 E. Washington Street and the vacation of a portion of the alley right -of -way located
east of Johnson Street, south of Ralston Creek.
Miklo stated that the Comprehensive Plan shows this property as institutional recognizing the
religious institution that is on the property. The synagogue will be moving to another location.
Staff feels that the Comprehensive Plan land use designation should be the same as the
adjacent properties which are Neighborhood Conservation.
The new development plan was delivered last Wednesday and staff is reviewing it. Staff feels
that the concepts are good but there are design details that may need to be changed. Miklo
stated that the current RM -12 zoning will allow 16 apartments with up to 3 bedrooms each for a
total of 48 bedrooms. If the developer doesn't purchase the property then it will be likely be
purchased from someone who would build 16 three - bedroom apartments. The applicant has
committed to building two- bedroom apartments. The floor plan is a bit different than most
apartment being built near and campus and downtown. The plan shows that the rooms have
more space and more amenities which may attract a variety of residents and not just students.
The previous application was just to rezone to RNS -20. The applicant amended the application
to include the plan development process which allows the commission to consider a slightly
taller building. The plan proposes to raise the height to 44 feet from 35 feet.
Miklo stated that the applicant did submit an elevation study showing how the building would fit
into the neighborhood. Mid - American Energy has given their input on needing an easement in
the alley way. Freerks asked about occupancy. Miklo stated that with RNS -12 zone would
allow three unrelated persons. The proposed RNS -20 zone would allow 4. Freerks stated that
they are only required to have two parking spots per unit. Miklo confirmed that was correct.
Eastham asked if staff felt that the elevation sketch showing the proposed building in relations to
the existing buildings was fairly accurate. Miklo stated that it was an approximation and if you
were to look at the property it is much lower than the surrounding properties. Dyer stated that
the new building would be almost twice as high as the building located across Johnson Street.
Weitzel asked if the Commission could make a recommendation continued upon successful
review by Preservation Commission. Miklo stated that this is a planned development so part of
the development Commission will approve the building design or ask for a new design. Dyer
stated she had concerns with the west and east elevation and there is not an obvious entry way
on the eastside. Staff stated that the plan has not yet been reviewed for compliance with the
zoning code, but there is a requirement that the street level cannot look like a garage. Koppes
stated that she doesn't have any issues with the building design. She just knew that there had
been discussion before regarding compatibility with the neighborhood and she feels that the
plan currently doesn't reflect that. Miklo advised Commission to bring up their points at
Thursday's meeting.
Freerks stated that this will be a major change for that location and that it is important to make
sure the building is compatible with the neighborhood. Weitzel stated that it should be a style
that matches what is on the block. The building should not be its own style. Dyer stated she
Planning and Zoning Commission
November 28, 2011 -Informal
Page 3 of 5
thought the design makes it look like a commercial building.
Freerks stated she feels that parking is a concern. Payne stated she didn't think it was realistic
to think that there would be students and nonstudents living in the same building. Miklo stated
that the applicant said his intent is to market to nonstudents. Eastham noted that there are
families living in that neighborhood.
REZ11- 00018: Discussion of an application submitted by Prime Ventures Construction,
Inc. for a rezoning from Commercial Office (CO -1) zone to High Density Multi - Family
Residential (RM -44) zone for approximately .47 acres of property located at 821 E.
Jefferson Street.
There was a short discussion on the 45 -Day Limitation Period being waived and not having a
set date. Howard stated that she would check with the applicant.
Howard stated that she provided information from the Central District Plan. She asked the
Commission if there was any more information that is needed. Koppes stated that her concern
was that there have been a lot of up- zoning of properties and there are already problems and to
continue to up -zone will only create more problems. Freerks stated that she was bothered by
the zone change because across the street it is a much lower density zone.
Eastham asked what the Council's plan is to review the RM -44 zone and does that effect the
application. Howard stated that there was not a lot of direction because it was an informal
meeting time and the discussion was brief. There were concerns discussed about the RM -44
zoning and that it is not resulting in attractive neighborhoods. Staff anticipated reviewing the
occupancy and parking standards for the zone.
Eastham stated that there was a property to the north of the applicant that has been
redeveloped. He asked if this was done in the last two years. Howard stated it was the
property to the west and it was built in the last two years. It is one building with five townhouse
style units with four and five bedrooms. The building just opened this past fall. Eastham asked
if was already zoned RM -44. Howard stated that was correct that the property was already
zoned RM -44 prior to purchase.
Weitzel stated that what he is hearing that four and five bedroom units seem to be a problem
and it seems that three bedrooms are getting grouped in as well. He asked what staff's view
was on number of bedrooms per unit. Howard stated for three bedrooms apartments there is a
question as to whether they would be rented out to other population as well as students.
Howard stated that four and five bedroom units were no longer allowed in CB -5 and CB -10
zones. Eastham asked staff if they knew what the percentage was in allowing three bedrooms
over one and two bedrooms. Miklo stated that for Hieronymus Square it is limited to no more
than 30% of the total dwelling units. Koppes asked if there was information on vacancy rates.
Miklo stated that he thought it was at 1 % within a mile of the Pentecrest and as you go out it
goes up. Freerks asked how long the property has been on the market. Miklo stated that staff
first became aware it was being marketed in the spring of 2011. Dyer asked if there have been
any elevation plans. Howard stated that there is one in the packet of information.
Eastham stated that the staff recommendation was to support the rezoning request subject to
the Comprehensive Plan amendment and general compliance with the submitted drawing. He
asked what the submitted drawings were. Howard stated that they were the elevation drawings.
Howard stated that if there are concerns about the building design they could be addressed.

Weitzel stated that he understands that it is easier to build fewer apartments with more
bedrooms and students like it because it makes their rent cheaper. He stated that his concern
is that it will lead to problems with parking. Freerks stated that it looked like it would be
marketed for a mix of people to rent and not just to students. Howard stated that there has
been discussion on the number of bedrooms in the higher density zones. There was some
discussion on what the layout and size is like for a student versus a nonstudent by way of
bedrooms and common living space. Dyer asked what else was on the block, renters or owner
occupied. Howard stated that she thought most were renting. Eastham stated that he was
trying to think of an appropriate zoning for the property. Weitzel stated that it would be good to
get the percentage of three - bedrooms versus other sizes as well as if commercial would be
appropriate on the ground floor. Howard stated that the issue has been the floodplain the
current building does not comply with the floodplain regulations.

Washington Street and the vacation of a portion of the alley right -of -way located east of
Johnson Street, south of Ralston Creek.
Freerks noted that the 45 -day limitation has been waived and the applicant has asked to defer the
item until the January 5, 2012.
Miklo stated that they did receive a plan last Wednesday and staff has done an initial review and
found that there were several aspects that did not comply with the code requirements or the
historic preservation standards. The applicant is reworking the plan for the January meeting.
Freerks opened public hearing.
Freerks closed public hearing.
Eastham moved to defer the Comprehensive Plan Item and REV 1 -00017 / VAC11 -00002
until January 5, 2012.
Koppes seconded.
Eastham stated that he has look carefully at the floor plans and he stated he understood that the
applicant intends to market the property to mix of young professionals and older persons. The
floor plan for the units seems to be favorable to that. Eastham discussed specifics of the floor plan
that makes the units desirable.
Weitzel stated that the exterior of the property doesn't go with the historic neighborhood. The
applicant should work with staff to find a style that matches the historic properties.
Freerks stated that the lot is important and it is across from College Green Park with a lot of
Planning and Zoning Commission
December 1, 2011 - Formal
Page 3 of 9
historical significance for Iowa City. She stated that the exterior of the property does not fit in with
the historic neighborhood. Freerks agreed with Eastham on that the interior layout of the units
would be attractive to a variety of tenants.
Eastham stated that it is important to keep in mind the location of the property when trying to
decide if the proposed design is compatible with the neighborhood.
Koppes stated her concerns are the parking for the area and the occupancy for the building. She
asked for more information to be able to understand those two issues. With the up- zoning going
from RM -12 to RSN -20 with a planned development overlay and Koppes stated she was
concerned with the reasoning for this up- zoning. She asked for information on how many units
there could be with the current zoning.
Dyer stated that all of the other buildings around the park have a pitched roof. This property would
be out of place with a flat roof. She noted another concern with the mass of the building. Dyer
stated that the building would be twice as high as the other buildings across the street.
Eastham noted to the applicant the possibility of having unrelated occupancy limits that are lower
than provided in RSN -20. He is hoping for a possibility to reduce that to the current zoning which
only allows three unrelated occupants.
A vote was taken for deferral and the motion carried 6 -0.
REZ11- 00018: Discussion of an application submitted by Prime Ventures Construction, Inc.
for a rezoning from Commercial Office (CO -1) zone to High Density Multi - Family Residential
(RM -44) zone for approximately .47 acres of property located at 821 E. Jefferson Street.
Payne recused herself due to conflict of interest with the applicant and her campaign. Payne left
the meeting.
Howard showed a location map noting it is along Jefferson Street and is mid -block between Lucas
and Governor Street. The property used to be a medial office and is now vacant and the land if for
sale. The proposed application is to take down the empty building and put up a high density multi-
family building. The property is located in the Ralston Creek flood plain. The idea is to put parking
on the ground level and the residential units would be raised above the flood plain level. Howard
noted the character of the surrounding neighborhood. Most of the area surrounding the property
is a mix of single family, duplex, and multi - family rental units and the zoning for the area is single
family residential stabilization to the north, multi - family stabilization to the south and the
immediately abutting properties on the east and west within the same block as 821 E. Jefferson
are zoned high density multi - family residential (RM -44). The current CO -1 zoning allows office
uses and this zone also allows multi - family units above a commercial space at a density that is
similar to the RM -12 (low density multi - family zone) which would allow for seven dwelling units with
up to four bedrooms per unit. The RM -44 zone is intended for high density multi - family
development. On this particular property, which is approximately a half acre in size and there could
be a maximum of 20 apartments with up to five bedrooms per apartment, but the actual number of
apartments that can be achieved is largely based on how many parking spaces will fit on the
property.
Howard stated that the Central District Plan has a section addressing housing and quality of life
Planning and Zoning Commission
December 1, 2011 - Formal
Page 4 of 9
issues within the central neighborhoods with the intent to balance the need for university student
housing with the demand for housing for families and other populations within the older
neighborhoods close to downtown and campus. With regard to these issues, the RM -44 zone has
been recently discussed at the City Council and they have expressed concerns about whether the
zoning rules for his zone have been resulting in a quality living environment for the residents and
for the surrounding neighborhood. Concerns have been expressed that this zone has not always
achieved the high quality that is expected. The Council has asked staff to look at the zone and see
what could be improved. While the staff have not had time to analyze how this zone could be
improved, one of the suggestions that staff has heard is to eliminate the option for four and five -
bedroom apartments and perhaps even require a mix of apartment sizes in any one building. The
applicant is proposing to do 12 three - bedroom units, two two- bedroom units and one one - bedroom
unit for a total of 15 apartments, 41 bedrooms, and 29 parking spaces. The applicant has
intentionally avoided including 4- and 5- bedroom units based on the concerns expressed by the
neighborhood and by the Council.
Weitzel asked if the Commission was going to be able to restrict the occupancy numbers versus
the number of bedrooms per unit as discussed at Monday's meeting. Howard stated that there has
been precedent for conditional zoning agreements to restrict the larger apartments (3 bedroom +) to
a certain percentage so that there is a mix. Hektoen stated that would be fine. Hektoen also
asked the Commission if trying to restrict the occupancy permit would the Commission want to
consider why they would allow for the upzoning in the first place. Weitzel stated he was thinking
the number of bedrooms not the occupancy. Howard clarified that the number of bedrooms per
apartment relates to the occupancy and the residential density is determined by how many
dwelling units are allowed per acre of land according to the zoning district. Weitzel asked what the
evidence was for three - bedroom units and if they were as problematic as four and five - bedroom
apartments. He asked if there were ways that the Commission could control the number of
unrelated people in a unit and still maintain the density. Howard stated that you would do that by
restricting the number of bedrooms per apartment and by bolstering that with a restriction on the
number of unrelated occupants per unit.
Koppes asked about the different zones and the zones having different allowed occupancies.
Howard confirmed that was correct to some extent. She stated that RM -20 and RNS -20 zones
allow up to four bedrooms /unrelated occupants per unit and the RM -12 zone only allows three
bedrooms /unrelated occupants. Eastham stated that he thought the occupancy limits were
independent of how many bedrooms that each dwelling unit contained. Howard stated that is
technically true but generally with student housing most will want to have their own bedroom and
not share. The trend gives a general sense of the technical occupancy of the units that doesn't
mean that a two- bedroom unit couldn't have five in a RM -44 zone that allows up to five unrelated
occupants. Howard stated that if the Commission wants to address occupancy itself and put a limit
on occupancy through a conditional zoning agreement that could be tied to the number of
bedrooms. Hektoen stated that it makes sense to tie occupancy to the number of bedrooms.
Koppes brought up the fact that the parking area is being used by a lot of surplus parking. She
asked that the applicant bring up any suggestions that they may have on the issue.
Freerks opened public hearing.
Gary Watts stated he was with Prime Ventures. He stated the property was located between two
RM -44 zoned properties. Watts stated that they have gone through four different sets of plans to
come up with the building. The building would be worth two and half million and they feel it is very
Planning and Zoning Commission
December 1, 2011 - Formal
Page 5 of 9
compatible with the neighborhood. Koppes asked if he had any suggestions on the parking issue.
Watts stated that he did not and he was following City code. Eastham stated that the applicant
indicated that their marketing strategy is to market some of the units in the building to young
professionals. The floor plan shows eight of the three - bedroom units with a living area opening
toward the east and west, which faces the walls of the buildings next door, while the bedrooms
open up to the north and south, which are the more open views. He asked the applicant to
comment on why he chose the directions for the rooms, because it seemed counter to what most
renters would want, particularly if the units were marketed for young professionals or families.
Watts noted they would not discriminate on who would rent the units and students could live there
if they wanted. He stated that his designer was not present for the meeting to discuss the direction
of the rooms but he would be willing to look into it.
Nancy Carlson, 1002 E. Jefferson Street, Iowa City, IA, talked about the introductory provisions of
the zoning code. She stated that the property may be compatible with the two properties next to it
the area is an island surrounded by two zones with entirely different land uses and focus. Carlson
stated by changing this property it will affect the surrounding area for years and decades. There
are two buildings in the area that have a total of 58 residents, most likely students, and by adding
this new building you are adding another 41 residents for a total of 99 residents in this one half of a
block. Carlson submitted letters from other residents in the area that were not able to make it to
the meeting that expresses their concern for the new proposed property.
John Thomas, 509 Brown Street, Iowa City, IA, stated he would read a letter and a petition that
was signed by eight landlords in the surrounding area that have properties on Market, E. Jefferson
and Iowa Avenue. Thomas read the letters and it expressed their concerns and gave the copies to
the Commission.
Karen Hopp, 26 N. Governor Street, Iowa City, IA, stated she is a long term resident and her home
is her haven and she would like it to stay that way. Hopp stated that the neighborhood has
changed over the years. There are more rental, rooming, and apartment complexes in the area.
The green spaces have disappeared and there are more vehicles in the area. Hopp stated that
she has a concern about overcrowding. She asked the Commission to review the items listed
under the purposes stated in the zoning code and to keep the property zoned as CO -1, which
would allow a lower density.
Mike Wright, 225 N. Lucas Street, Iowa City, IA, stated his disclaimer that he is a City Council
member at present but by the time this reaches the City Council he will no longer be a member.
Wright stated he was against the Comprehensive Plan change and the rezoning issue. RM -44
zoning is not compatible with lower density RNS -12 that is across the street. He stated that earlier
in the week at a strategic planning session the City Council stressed that neighborhood
stabilization would be the key in their planning over the next few years. He asked that the
Commission to consider the scale and density that is being proposed. Wright encouraged the
Commission to vote against the two items.
Leslie Schwalm, 819 E. Market Street, Iowa City, IA, stated she has lived on her property since
1991. They have worked hard to maintain a sense of community of long term residents, people
that preserve their property, and to get to know each other. The change of zoning that has been
proposed will work against their effort in stabilizing a neighborhood. Schwalm stated that her main
concern was the number of people and the number of bedrooms. The change in zoning will take
away the quality of life and the peace and quiet that neighborhoods get to enjoy. She asked the
Commission to not approve the items.

Page 6 of 9
Doris Stormoen, 819 E. Market Street, Iowa City, IA, stated she agrees with all that have
commented. Stormoen expressed her concern on the number of people who will live in the units
and how that will be monitored. She stated that she would like the zoning to not change rather
than try to limit the damage that would result with a zone change.
Tim Taffe, 726 Iowa Avenue, Iowa City, IA, stated he was the owner of the property. He told a
story that happened two weeks ago after the last meeting he found the next morning that his wood
fence had been vandalized. Taffe talked about the semantics and the wording that the developer
is using toward the property. He pointed out specific words that were used that don't really apply
to what is being built. Taffe stated that he feels that the project has been misrepresented and that
the Commission should reject it.
Nancy Carlson, 1002 E. Jefferson Street, Iowa City, IA, stated that when they were told about the
development they were under the impression it would be two separate items on the agenda. The
first letter that was signed was signed for the change to the comprehensive plan. The second
letter has to do with the project itself. Carlson read the letter regarding concern about the project
and submitted it for the record.
Freerks closed public hearing.
Eastham moved to approve the amend the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use
designation from Office Commercial to High Density Multi - Family Residential for property
located at 821 E. Jefferson Street.
Weitzel seconded.
Freerks noted that this request is a difficult issue and for the Comprehensive Plan change there
are items that need to be supported in the community such as stabilization and the quality of living.
Freerks stated that she wasn't sure that this was the time to make an additional piece of property
RM -44 in the community.
Eastham stated that the area is an unusual area to try and fit into the code, as well as into the
overall needs of the Comprehensive Plan which is to provide a living space that is desirable for all
income groups and all family types. Eastham asked if the Comprehensive Plan change that is
proposed would only allow RM -44 zoning. Howard explained that the designation on the plan map
would be "high density multi - family residential" and that would indicate that RM -44 or PRM would
be appropriate zoning for properties with that comprehensive plan map designation. Eastham
asked if by approving the Comprehensive Plan it would allow only the PRM or RM -44. Howard
stated that by approving the comprehensive plan map change it would indicate that either of those
zones would be appropriate. She explained that in the CO -1 zone it does allow multi - family
residential density similar to the RM -12 but it has to be located above commercial space.
However, one of the differences between the CO -1 zone and the RM -12 Zone is that the CO -1
Zone allows four - bedroom apartments and the RM -12 allows a maximum of three - bedroom
apartments. Eastham stated that he has difficulty on the redevelopment because the two
properties to the east and west seem to be designed almost exclusively for undergraduate student
occupancy and in his opinion the property for this application seems to also be designed to mainly
be attractive to undergraduate student occupancy. It would be better if the building was designed in
a manner that would also be attractive to other populations such as for professionals, graduate
students, or family occupancy, either rental or owner - occupied at an appropriate density. Eastham
Planning and Zoning Commission
December 1, 2011 - Formal
Page 7 of 9
stated that he is not inclined to go ahead with the Comprehensive Plan amendment.
Koppes agreed with Eastham. She stated that she is not in favor of changing the Comprehensive
Plan to only high density multi - family. Koppes stated she didn't think it would be good to change
the zone to RM -44 when across the street are lower density single family uses. She stated she
would not be in support of the amendment.
Dyer stated she shares the same concerns. She stated that parking isn't set at what the residents
need. Dyer stated that it doesn't seem right to approve something that will aggravate the parking
problem. Requiring more parking spaces would not deal with the issues of visitors. She stated
that the parking is a serious problem that needs to be looked into.
Weitzel stated that there have been a lot of comments on the concern of the density of the area.
He stated that he has not been persuaded to go beyond the density that would be allowed in the
low density multi - family zone (RM -12).
A vote was taken and motion was denied 0 -5 (Payne recused).
Freerks asked for a motion on the Rezoning Item REZ11- 00018.
Weitzel moved to approve REZ11- 00018.
Eastham seconded.
Freerks asked for discussion.
Koppes stated that in the past it has been required to have extra parking spaces for visitors. She
feels the Commission needs to be more responsible about making sure there is enough parking.
Miklo stated that staff has been asked by the City Council to reevaluate RM -44 zone and parking is
included.
Eastham stated his idea with parking is to have the number of parking spaces available for the
number of people that will reside in the apartments. There has been a lot of information on families
and young professionals that are interested in one and two- bedroom units regardless of whether it
is rental or owner - occupied. He feels that the proposal should be geared toward that. Eastham
stated he is okay with the Concept Plan for the exterior it would be a compatible with the
neighborhood but for the other reasons he will not support the rezoning request.
Freerks stated that the exterior building design is fine but the density proposed and the number of
bedrooms is not a very good transition from the lower density RNS -12 across the street. Freerks
feels that it is not the right time to make the zoning change.
A vote was taken and motion was denied 0 -5 (Payne recused).
Miklo noted that if the applicant chooses to take it to the City Council they would need to write a
letter of request within 30 days.
CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: November 17th, 2011:
Planning and Zoning Commission
December 1, 2011 - Formal
Page 8 of 9
Dyers moved to approve the minutes with corrections.
Eastham seconded.
Eastham noted he was not at the November 2nd meeting. The vote totals are therefore incorrect for
all the votes. The attendance table as well is incorrect. Weitzel noted he had some wording
corrections that he would email to staff.
The motion carried 4 -0 (Payne absent).
OTHER:
Miklo noted that they have had productive meetings on Riverfront Crossings. They hope to have a
draft plan complete by February. Weitzel stated he attended a couple of the meetings and feels
that the market analysis pushes down the size and number of buildings that are likely to be built
there. Howard stated the market analysis was for office and residential. The student housing
market is driving up prices of the land. It is difficult for applicants that want to market other
populations to compete with the developers that can bid up the land price for student population
housing. The student housing market is the hot items right now and that is what banks will lend
money for and universities are finding increased enrollment because of the economy.
ADJOURNMENT:
Koppes moved to adjourn.
Weitzel seconded.
The meeting was adjourned on a 5 -0 vote.

December 22, 2011
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council Members:
With this letter, I am transmitting the 2012 -2013 fiscal year proposed budget for
the City of Iowa City. Although an annual budget is required to be adopted by
Iowa State Code, the three -year financial plan (2013 -2015) and five -year capital
improvement program (2012 -2016) are included for planning purposes.
You will note that the proposed budget is different in format from previous years.
We are attempting to add more narrative and performance measures for each
department. We are hopeful that this document will provide the reader with
substantively greater information about our municipal operations.
The budget is one of the most important documents that a City prepares because
it identifies the services to be provided and how those services are to be
financed. We are seeing lower growth in valuations. As you may recall property
revaluations occur biennially and FY2013 is a revaluation year. Our total
property valuation growth was approximately two percent. The effect of this lower
growth in valuations will limit tax revenue which will require continued review of
the city's operations, service delivery and alternate revenue sources.
Two major uncertainties are 1) the national economy and what impacts it may
have on our operations and 2) proposals by the Governor and Legislature to alter
commercial property valuations. These two unknowns may cause us to revisit
our budget before it takes effect or during the budgeted fiscal year.
Budget Goals
My goals in developing this year's budget are to:
• Reduce costs where possible, while continuing to provide high quality
services
• Identify and eliminate redundancies that may exist within the organization
• Examine existing and potential new revenue sources
• Promote and plan for economic development and redevelopment
throughout the City to ensure strong property values
• Determine appropriate staffing levels
• Provide for necessary improvements to existing infrastructure and
prioritize capital projects
• Uphold fiscal integrity and maintain adequate cash reserves
- 1 -
Budget Overview
Overall, taxable valuation increased 4.2% for FY2013 due to the State of Iowa
increasing the rollback limitation. The assessment limitation order (rollback)
worked in our favor this year due to a significant increase in ag land valuations
across the state, although we cannot expect this trend to continue. Projections
for the second and third years (FY2014 -2015) are based on building permits and
remain relatively flat at around two percent (2 %). With the estimated taxable
valuations, Iowa City is proposing a decrease in the overall tax rate, down
(3.19 %) from FY2012. Fee increases are proposed in Transit Services, Rental
Housing Inspection, Water Utility Service and Landfill Tipping Fees.
The following graphs depict taxable valuations, tax revenue, tax levies, and the
percent of change from previous year.

We are able to present a balanced General Fund budget in FY2013 due to a
number of changes in operations and external factors. The reduction in the city
property tax levy was accomplished by the transfer out of Transit Operations
from the General Fund back to a Business -Type Fund; a reduction of employee
benefit cost projections from the MFPRSI and IPERS pension systems, and
lower health insurance premiums; and through reductions in staff (mainly through
attrition) this calendar year. There are no new service initiatives presented with
this budget.
The City continues to maintain its Moody's Investor Services' Aaa bond rating,
which is the highest rating achievable. This rating has been accomplished
through prudent financial management, a strong local economy, and healthy
financial reserves. The General Fund's unassigned fund balance, which is an
indicator of the City's financial well- being, is projected at 27 -30% of expenditures,
in line with Council's cash balance financial policy.
Highlights
Transit Operations have been transferred out of the General Fund and
reclassified as a Business -Type Fund, eliminating approximately $966,000 from
the Employee Benefits tax levy asking, annually. Prior to FY2003 the Transit
Enterprise Fund continually required funding assistance from the General Fund.
In preparing the FY2003 budget staff recommended to the City Council to
transfer the Transit operations into the General Fund to allow the Transit
employees benefits to be paid by the Employee Benefit levy. The Employee
Benefit levy can only be utilized on General Fund and Road Use Tax Fund
employee benefits per Iowa Code. In FY2006 the Court Street Transportation
Center was built and the operating revenues were assigned to Transit per federal
grants. Since FY2008 the Transit operations in the General Fund have provided
surplus revenue for Transit. This proposed budget recommends restructuring of
transit routes, privatization of the auto body repair function, and a proposed fee
increase of $.25 per ride. The last fare increase was in 1997.
Fee increases in the Water Fund of ten percent (10 %) and Landfill Operations
tipping fee increase of $2.00 are proposed based on declining fund balance and
future capital project funding requirements.
In an effort to streamline operations and reduce costs, department directors and I
have begun the task of reviewing city services as permanent staff positions are
vacated. This review began in early 2011. Through this process, we identified
(10.87) FTEs for elimination by attrition. An additional reduction of (5.0) FTEs is
proposed with this financial plan. See page 51 for specific position changes.
-4-
Department directors have evaluated and have or will reassign essential duties of
eliminated positions in order to maintain a level of service acceptable to internal
and external customers. It is my intent to continue this program and monitor the
effect of these decisions in the coming year.
The Capital Improvements Program (CIP) continues to reflect council- stated
priorities from prior fiscal years; placing emphasis on flood recovery and
mitigation projects, and economic development initiatives. Federal and State
grant revenue is budgeted at $108.7 million over the five -year period FY2012-
2016. Local Option Sales Tax revenue, approved by voter referendum for flood
recovery projects, ends in FY2014 and is expected to provide $32.3 million for
the same time period.
Significant projects planned for the immediate / near -term include (project costs
are for FY2012- 2016):
Iowa City Multi -Use Parking Facility ($15.6 million): A new multi -use
parking/ commercial / residential facility is proposed at the intersection of
Linn and Court Streets with construction to begin in FY2013. This project
will provide an additional 600 parking spaces financed by parking revenue
bonds. The commercial /workforce residential component is expected to
be built by a private developer.
South Wastewater Plant Expansion ($49 million): This project will
redirect and consolidate North Treatment Plant operations into the South
Treatment Plant. Project estimate does not include demolition of the north
facility ($5 million). Federal and state grants plus local option sales tax
revenue are intended to provide $33.0 and $13.6 million, respectively.
Iowa City Gateway Project ($34.2 million): This project will reconstruct
and elevate 4,200 feet of Dubuque Street, Park Road Bridge and adjacent
trails. Project funding includes $11.5 million in grant funding and $20.2
million from local option sales tax.
Landfill Gas to Energy Project ($2.0 million): This is a joint project with
the University of Iowa which will utilize landfill gas for energy production at
the Oakdale Campus. Iowa City's contribution to the project includes $2.0
million from Landfill Operations for methane gas conditioning and
compression equipment.
Airport improvement projects total $1.65 million in FY2013, with 95% in
federal grant funding.
Dubuque / 1 -80 Pedestrian Bridge ($2.1 million): This pedestrian bridge
extends an existing pedestrian trail north along Dubuque Street, crossing
the interstate and providing a connection to the Butler Bridge Trailhead.

The All Funds Expenditure table above depicts the program changes from the
transfer of Transit operations out from the Public Works category and the
resulting increase in the Business Type activities category. Also of note is the
reduction of program expenditures from the Community & Economic

housing programs.

The chart above utilizes the bar columns to present estimated FY2013
expenditure dollar totals and the line chart to depict the percent of change over
FY2012 expenditures. The spike in the Debt Service expenditures is due to
prepayment of the taxable 2004 general obligation debt from the construction of
Plaza Towers, and a timing difference on an advance refunding of the 2002
general obligation bonds.

Conclusion
While the City of Iowa City's current financial condition remains strong, we
recognize that we are subject to a national economy which is still in flux and a
state policy debate on how to treat commercial property values. I see these
challenges as an invitation to review what we do and how we do it, and as an
opportunity for change. The challenge is to change for the better, placing the
City in a stronger position to meet the needs of the future. Implementation of this
year's budget will allow the City to continue to move forward meeting its
10-
objectives while remaining a vibrant and desirable community for our residents
and businesses.
During the past year the city undertook a strategic planning effort which identified
the city's main goals for the foreseeable future. The following issue areas were
identified as a priority:
• Downtown /Near Downtown
• Economic and Community Development
• Neighborhood Stabilization
• Budget /Finance
• Communication /Image /Perception
Our focus will be to concentrate on these initiatives through our budget,
departmental operations, and employee direction so that all phases of our
operation are moving in the same direction.
The preparation of the proposed FY2013 -2015 budget has required a concerted
effort on the part of the departments and administration. Each and every
individual who contributed to the process and production of this document has
my deepest appreciation. I particularly want to call out the outstanding
performance of the Finance Department who made a special effort to
accommodate this changed budget format.
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas M. Markus

This Three -Year Financial Plan is for fiscal years FY2013 through FY2015, which begin July 1 and end June
30. The Financial Plan includes our one -year annual budget, required by Iowa Code, and provides two
projection years as a planning tool. The purpose of the overview is to disclose the basis on which the
financial plan has been prepared.
The role of a government's operating budget differs from that of a private business. Budgets are an
important internal planning tool for business, but they also play an external role for governmental entities. A
multi -year financial plan informs parties inside and outside government of future objectives and provision of
services to its constituents.
The three -year plan also permits a more comprehensive review of the City's financial condition, allowing
analysis of current and future needs and requirements. During preparation of the plan, careful review is
made of property tax levy rates, utility and user fee requirements, ending cash balances by fund, debt
service obligations, bond financing needs, capital outlay for equipment purchases, and major capital
improvement projects.
This document contains operating budgets for the governmental funds: general, special revenue, debt
service, capital project and permanent funds. It also includes business type funds and internal service
funds. Budgets are summarized by major revenue and expenditure categories within each division. A
separate multi -year Capital Improvements Program (CIP) show budgeted revenue and expenditures for
FY2012 through FY2016.
The cash basis of accounting has been used for preparation of this document. Revenues are recorded
when received, not necessarily when they are earned, and expenditures are recorded when paid instead of
when they are incurred. The Finance Administration Division monitors actual receipts and expenditures
carefully on a line -item basis. Department directors are ultimately responsible for ensuring that the divisions
under their control stay within budget.

FINANCIAL AND FISCAL POLICIES
The City of Iowa City's financial policies set forth the basic framework for the overall fiscal
management of the City. These policies assist the decision - making process of the City Council.
These policies provide guidelines for evaluating both current activities and proposals for future
programs.
Most of the policies represent long- standing principles, traditions and practices, and follow
generally accepted accounting principles which have guided the City in the past and have helped
maintain financial stability.
OPERATING BUDGET POLICIES
The City will prepare an annual balanced budget for all operating funds.
The City will maintain a budgetary control system to ensure adherence to the budget and
will prepare monthly reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures to budgeted
amounts.
Operating budgets are established on a fund /department/program basis
A contingency account will be maintained in the annual General Fund operating budget to
provide for unanticipated expenditures or to meet unexpected small increases in service
delivery costs, budgeted annually at approximately % of one percent of expenditures and
transfers out. The City Council will be informed semi - annually on staff initiated amendments
from the contingency account to the operating programs within the General Fund.
Budget amendments may be made throughout the year with approval of the Department
Director, Director of Finance and the City Manager. The City Council formally reviews and
approves all amendments processed by staff twice a year in August /September and May.
Increases or amendments to operating budgets are made only in the following situations:
- emergency situations
- transfer from contingency
- expenditures with offsetting revenues or fund balance
- carry -over of prior year budget authority for expenses that had not been paid as of the end
of the fiscal year.
OPERATING BUDGET PREPARATION CRITERIA
General Guidelines
Maintain the fiscal integrity of the City's operating and capital improvement budgets in order
to provide services and to construct and maintain the City's infrastructure.
Maintain the City's responsible fiscal position and AAA bond rating.
15-
Present budget data to the City Council in a format that will facilitate annual budget
decisions based on a three -year planning perspective. Provide the City Council with a
summary of the three -year forecasts.
Encourage citizen involvement in the annual budget decision - making process through
public hearings, informal meetings, budget briefs and related informational efforts.
Service Level Guidelines
Deliver service levels which are consistent with the citizens' willingness to pay and the City's
available resources.
Base decisions to reduce service levels or eliminate programs on City -wide priorities.
Recognize that City employees are one of the City government's most valuable resources
and are essential to the delivery of high quality, efficient services.
Revenue Guidelines

industrial uses. Further, the purpose of the plan is to retain the city's existing business
operations and to encourage them to expand and foster spin -off business operations. The

more jobs, lower unemployment, higher wages, greater property values, more tax
revenues, more ownership and entrepreneurial opportunities and revitalization of
underutilized or blighted areas.
:1 The city will consider the use of incentive programs including city, state and federal
economic development funds, tax increment financing, public private partnerships and
other tools in order to achieve the expected results.
Various evaluative tools including financial pro forma's, written evaluation reports,
established benefit metrics, and other performance tools shall be used to monitor the use
of economic incentives from the early stages of project development through the

within our MSA unless a business is seeking to expand or considering a relocation
outside the state. Should businesses from jurisdictions within our MSA wish to locate in
the City of Iowa City we will notify our neighboring jurisdiction of the interest. It will be the
general practice of the City of Iowa City to not provide economic incentives to business
wishing to relocate from another jurisdiction within our MSA unless a business is seeking
to expand or considering a relocation outside the state.

deductible /retention amounts of current insurance held by the City of Iowa City, unless such
insurance is required by statute or by contact, or in those instances in which it is desirable to
obtain special services, such as inspection or claim adjustment services in connection with
insurance. The deductible /retention amounts will be reviewed once annually by the Director
of Finance and the Risk Manager to ensure appropriateness of the amounts.
Insurance will be purchased where possible against all major exposures which might result
in loss in excess of the City's insurance reserve through the purchase of the following types
of insurance:
All risk insurance on real and personal property.
General liability insurance.
Automobile liability insurance.
Fidelity and crime insurance.
Catastrophic workmen's compensation insurance.
The City will self- insure in those instances where the cost of insurance is so high that it

Real property will be insured on replacement cost basis, as determined by a competent
appraisal service, against as wide a range of perils as possible. The value will be reviewed
once annually by the Risk Manager and the City's insurance advisor.
Loss prevention recommendations made by insurance companies, the state fire marshal or
local fire authorities will, whenever possible, be implemented. In those cases in which such
recommendations are not followed, a written report in which an explanation or justification is
made will be filed with the Director of Finance and the City Manager within 30 days of
receipt of the report.
Insurance will be purchased only through licensed agents or agencies who have the staff
and technical competence to adequately service the insurance provided.
Insurance will be placed only in insurance companies rated A+ or A in Bests. Insurance
placed in other companies will require a written report of the particulars, such report to be
filed with the Risk Manager.
The administration of the risk management policy will be a responsibility of the Risk
Manager. Such responsibility includes placement of insurance coverage, maintenance of
property appraisals and inventories, processing of claims and maintenance of loss records,
and supervision of loss prevention activities.
Settlement of claims are handled through the Risk Management Division and /or City
Attorney Office. The Risk Manager is authorized to settle claims up to $3,000, the City

I. PROPERTY TAXES
Property taxes are the largest revenue source for the City's General Fund, accounting for sixty -two
percent (62 %) of FY2013 revenue. There are a number of factors which determine the City's tax levy
each year: property valuations by class, the annual Assessment Limitation Order or rollback, TIF district
valuations and rebates, statutory limits on individual tax levies, the City's Financial and Fiscal Policies,
other financing sources and projected expenditures.
A. VALUATIONS:
1. 100% Assessment -Property valuations are set by the City and County Assessor. State law
requires that all real property be reassessed every two years, specifically in odd - numbered
years. Since 2002, valuations within the Iowa City corporate limits have increased an average
of eight percent (8 %) in revaluation years and three percent (3 %) in non - revaluation years.
Valuations reported by the Johnson County Assessor for January 1, 2011 (a revaluation year),
serve as the basis for estimating property tax revenue in FY2013. Their report indicates a
2.08% increase in total assessed value from $4.44 billion to $4.53 billion in the last year.
Official certified valuations will be mailed by the County Auditor's office in January 2012.
2. Assessment Limitation Order / Rollback - The State of Iowa has a statutory growth limitation
of four percent (4 %) annually on taxable property valuations by class (residential, commercial,
industrial, etc). Each year, the Department of Revenue's Assessment Limitation Order sets a
'rollback' value by class which, when applied, determines taxable valuations. An additional
growth restriction is applied to the residential valuations, limiting growth in taxable value to
agricultural valuations. In other words, the percentage change in taxable valuations for urban
residential property each year is limited to either four percent (4 %) or the growth in agricultural
property, whichever is lower.
The following graph illustrates the impact of the rollback on taxable valuations. In FY2004 the
residential rollback exempted $75 billion of Iowa City's residential assessed valuation. In
FY2013 the residential rollback will exempt $1.6 billion of residential assessed valuations. The
rollback for FY2013 is 50.7518 %, compared to 48.5299% for last year. This change amounts to
an increase of 4.5% in taxable valuation.

The general property tax levy of $8.10 is to be used to support General Fund services such as those
provided by the Police and Fire Departments, Library, Senior Center, Parks and Recreation. This levy
cannot exceed $8.10 per $1000 of taxable assessed valuation per State law.
The Library tax levy of $.27 was voted in by a majority of the residents in 1991. The initial levy was used to
expand Library services and continues to maintain that level of service.
The Transit tax levy of $.95 is a "general" levy for transit operations which cannot exceed $.95 per $1,000
of taxable assessed valuation.
The Tort Liability tax levy has no maximum and is based on estimated insurance premiums and claim
losses within the self- insured retention. The levy rate for FY2013 is estimated at $0.314, compared to
$0.347 for FY2012. The City's self- insured retention amount is $400,000 per occurrence for worker's
compensation, $500,000 for liability claims and $100,000 for city property claims.
The Employee Benefits tax levy is used for the employer cost of the following benefits for employees
within the General and Road Use Tax Funds:
• Health Insurance
• Life Insurance
• Disability Insurance
• Worker's Compensation insurance premiums and claims
• Unemployment Compensation
• Social Security (FICA - 7.65 %)
• Iowa Public Employees Retirement System costs (IPERS)
• Municipal Fire and Police Retirement System of Iowa (MFPRSI)
The Employee Benefit tax levy for FY2013 is $3.200, down (9.3 %) when compared with the FY2012 levy
of $3.526. The major reason for this reduction was the return of Transit operations to an Enterprise Fund.
Prior to FY2003 the Transit Enterprise Fund continually required funding assistance from the General
Fund. In preparing the FY2003 budget staff recommended to the City Council to transfer the Transit
operations into the General Fund to allow the Transit employees benefits to be paid by the Employee
Benefit levy. The Employee Benefit levy can only be utilized on General Fund and Road Use Tax Fund
employee benefits per Iowa Code. In FY2006 the Court Street Transportation Center was built and the
operating revenues were assigned to Transit per federal grants. Since FY2008 the Transit operations in
the General Fund have provided surplus revenue for Transit. During the FY2013 budget preparation,
staff recommended to the City Manager to move Transit operations back to an enterprise fund to reduce
the Employee Benefit levy.
The Debt Service tax levy provides funding for principal and interest payments on outstanding general
obligation bonds. In FY2013, this levy is $4.438, compared with $4.649 in FY2012. This equates to a
reduction of 4.5% on this levy, or $0.211 less than previous year.

which resulted in a reduction of the Employee Benefit levy.
2. Other City Taxes —This category, estimated at $10.3 million in FY2013, includes local option sales
tax revenue of $8.5 million, $740,000 in Hotel Motel Taxes, $411,000 in gas and electric excise
taxes, and $578,000 in utility franchise taxes.
a) Local Option Sales Tax: A one percent (1 %) sales tax was approved by voter referendum on
May 5, 2009, to provide funding for "remediation, repair and protection of flood- impacted public
infrastructure ". Sales tax revenue is being receipted into the General Fund and transferred to
the following capital projects designated by city Council as priorities under this definition:
relocation of facilities at North Wastewater, elevation of North Dubuque Street and the
reconstruction of Park Road Bridge. The sales tax went into effect on July 1, 2009 and sunsets
on June 30, 2013.
b) Hotel Motel Tax: This revenue source is a state - administered tax. Estimated at $724,000 in
FY2013, the seven percent (7 %) tax on gross hotel /motel room rental receipts is distributed as
follows:
Convention & Visitor's Bureau 25.00%
Police Patrol 47.50%
Parks & Recreational Facilities 27.50%
Total Hotel Motel 7% Tax 100.00%
c) Utility Replacement Excise Tax: The Gas and Electric Excise taxis collected on the generation,
distribution, and delivery of electricity and natural gas. This tax replaced the taxation on utility
property in 1999. Cities are required to calculate property tax revenues with and without
property valuations. The calculated difference is required to establish the General Property Tax
Equivalents, the basis of the Iowa Department of Revenue distribution formula.
d) Utility Franchise Taxes on utility customers: Senate File 478 was enacted by the Iowa state
legislature during its 2009 session, establishing cities' right to impose a franchise tax on gas
and electric utilities. On February 16, 2010, the Iowa City Council passed and approved an
ordinance establishing a one percent (1 %) tax to be expended for the following purposes:
1) Inspecting, supervising and otherwise regulating the MidAmerican Energy
Company's gas and electric franchises.
2) Public safety, including the equipping of fire, police and emergency services.
3) Public infrastructure to support commercial and industrial economic development.
Of the $853,000 estimate for FY2013, $578,000 will go to the City's General Fund for
maintenance of the right -of -way and operational costs associated with Fire Station #4. The
remaining $275,000 is for recurring Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) in the right of way.
3. Licenses & Permits —
This category consists of revenue received for building and rental housing permits /inspections,
plumbing license and taxi license fees, beer, liquor and cigarette permit/license fees (state
regulated), sign permits, burial permits, animal licensing and some miscellaneous fees. The
FY2013 budget for Licenses and Permits is estimated at $1.4 million. The Housing Inspections
Division has recommended an increase of 5% on rental inspections.
KM
4. Use of Money & Propert y - This revenue source consists of interest income. The category is
budgeted at $107,205 for FY2013, down significantly from prior years due to the decrease in
interest income and the compounding effect as investments come due and are reinvested at a
lower rate.
5. Intergovernmental revenue is estimated at $2.6 million in FY2013, a reduction of $1.2 million in
federal and state Transit operating grants. This revenue category includes state and federal
grants, 28 -E agreements, and contracts with local governmental entities.
The majority of intergovernmental revenue is the result of 28E agreements with local entities for
services provided to area residents, as shown in the following schedule. The largest of these
agreements is for fire protection services to the University of Iowa, estimated at $1.6 million in
FY2013, with $1.4 million receipted into the General Fund. The remainder is deposited into the
Employee Benefits Fund as reimbursement for a percentage of Fire employee benefits.

FY2014 FY2015
1. Personnel — Personnel costs include salaries and benefits, including health, life, and disability
insurance, employer share of FICA and IPERS, and Police /Fire MFPRSI retirement contributions.
Personnel costs account for approximately sixty -three percent (63 %) of budgeted expenditures within
the General Fund in FY2013. Personnel costs for FY2013 are $4.1 million less than last year due to
Transit operations no longer reported in the General Fund and the return of the regular 26 paydays per
annum versus last year's 27 paydays.
a) Collective Bargaining: Wages and benefits for most employees are determined by collective
bargaining agreements with one of three unions: AFSCME (Local #183), the Police Labor Relations
Organization (PLR) of Iowa City, and the Iowa City Association of Professional Fire Fighters, IAFF,
AFL -CIO (Local #610). The Fire contract for FY2013 includes cost of living adjustments (COLA) of
1.35% in June, 2012 and 1.5% in December, 2012. As of this budget proposal printing, the
AFSCME and Police Labor Relations Organization unions are still in the collective bargaining
process for FY2013.
Administrative, confidential, supervisory and temporary employees specified in Chapter 20 of the
Code of Iowa are excluded from the unions and their respective agreements. Salaries and benefit
appropriations for these employees are determined by the City Council upon the recommendation of
the City Manager. Cost of living adjustments have been approved at the same rate as union
employees for FY2013.
b) Retirement Contributions: Last year the Iowa Public Employees' Retirement System (IPERS)
increased the combined contribution rate by a one percent (1.0 %) annually. With a 60/40 split
between employer and employee, the employer share will increase from 8.07% in FY2012 to 8.67%
in FY2013.
The Municipal Fire & Police Retirement System of Iowa (MFPRSI)'s Board of Trustees sets the
annual contribution rate for public entities, based on independent actuarial opinion. The rate for
FY2013 has been set at 26.12% and is expected to increase to 30.90% by FY2014 and 33.80% by
FY2015. The employee contribution is currently fixed at 9.40 %. As a result of the unusual increase
and unbalanced contribution formula, the Iowa League of Cities is currently advocating for
legislative changes to the system.
c) Other Benefits: An increase in the employee contribution towards health insurance was negotiated
into the FY2013 union contracts. Health insurance costs are projected to increase one percent
(1 %) in FY2013. This lower than normal increase is due to benefit plan changes that required
employees to pay higher deductibles and more out of pocket costs also, Iowa City has had a lower
than average claims experience for the past few years. For FY2014 and 2015, we have proposed
three percent (3 %) increases each year.
2. Services - Expenditures for FY2013 are budgeted at $7.8 million, a decrease of eleven percent
(11 %) over FY2012 actuals. The U. S. Consumer Price Index as of September 2011 indicated a 3.9%
increase on services and consumer goods over last year. However, with Transit operations
transferred to an enterprise fund, this category was reduced by $1.3 million. The Services category
does include additional funding for Economic Development initiatives and paratransit services.
Other operating costs included in this category which have more specific inflationary guidelines
include self- insured loss reserve funding, liability, fire & casualty insurance premiums, professional and
consultant services, internal service fund charges (Equipment, Information Technology Services, Risk
Management, and Central Services), training & education, building and equipment repair and
maintenance services, vehicle and equipment rentals.
33-
Non - operating costs in this category include Aid to Human Service Agencies, Community Event
Funding, support to the Iowa City Coralville Convention & Visitors Bureau, and Community and
Economic Development Assistance, as follows:
$276,173 Aid to Human Service Agencies
$120,882 Community Event/ Program Funding
$186,382 ICCVB — Community/ Economic Development Assistance
$151,016 Economic Development Assistance
3. Supplies - Supplies consist primarily of commodities that are consumed or depleted, such as office
and cleaning supplies, vehicle fuel and materials for repair and maintenance of buildings, streets, and
equipment. Individual items under $5,000 which may have been categorized as capital outlay in prior
years are now budgeted within the Supplies category for FY2012 and beyond. This adjustment is in
line with the capitalization threshold utilized in the comprehensive annual financial report.
4. Capital Outlay — General Fund capital outlay is budgeted at $1.3 million in FY2013 and includes
police vehicle replacements, library materials, operating equipment, and building maintenance and
improvements of $5,000 or greater.
5. Other Financial Uses — This category is budgeted at $9.3 million in FY2013. Transfers out include
local option sales tax funding of $8.5 million for the Iowa City Gateway Project (Dubuque Street and
Park Road Bridge). The FY2012 budget has carryover appropriation authority of $28.2 million. That
includes project funding for the Iowa City Gateway Project in the amount of $9.2 million and project
funding for the South Wastewater Plant Expansion in the amount of $12.6 million. These two projects
utilize the one cent sales tax revenue for flood impacted infrastructure. Also in FY2012, there is a
transfer of $3.8 million to the 4201" Street Industrial Park and loan financing of $1.5 million for the
construction of Fire Station #4.
6. Contingency use of General Fund cash is budgeted at'/ of one percent (1 %) of General Fund
expenditures (excluding transfers) - approximately $337,500 in FY2013.

D. GENERAL FUND YEAR -END CASH BALANCE
The City of Iowa City's policy is that General Fund cash balances will not go below fifteen percent
(15 %), with a ceiling of twenty -five percent (25 %). During the FY2010 budget process, City Council
further revised the reserve policy for General Fund stating that unassigned cash balance in excess of
twenty -five percent (25 %) of expenditures could be considered for tax relief. In FY2012, $3.8 million of
the unassigned cash balance was utilized to finance the 4201h Street Industrial Park in lieu of a loan from
the Landfill fund.
In February, 2009, the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) released GASB Statement
No. 54, which redefines the terminology used for fund balance reporting. Following is a summary of
General Fund cash balance utilizing the new definitions.

III. SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special Revenue Funds include Employee Benefits, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the
HOME Program, Flood Recovery & Hazard Mitigation Grants, Road Use Tax, Metropolitan Planning
Organization of Johnson County (formerly known as JCCOG), Tax Increment Financing Districts,
General Rehabilitation and Improvement Program (GRIP), and UniverCity.
A. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) & HOME Program — These funds account for
revenue from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and are restricted in use for
eligible projects as defined by federal regulations. Monies are utilized by both businesses and
individual homeowners for property rehabilitation and community development initiatives. In
FY2013, CDBG federal revenue is budgeted at $605,000 that amount is $210,000 less than last
year. The HOME program FY2013 revenue estimate is $685,874 roughly $80,000 less than
FY2012.
Flood Recovery & Hazard Mitigation Grants - Grants totaling $26.5 million were budgeted for
hazard mitigation (including the home - buyout program) and business / residential assistance in
FY2011. This includes monies from FEMA, CDBG and the JUMPSTART Iowa Fund, with receipts
and expenditures anticipated to extend into FY2012. These programs are scheduled to be phase
out in FY2013 with no new revenues expected.
C. Road Use Tax Fund - Road Use Tax Fund activities are financed through state - distributed Road
Use Tax and TI ME -21 revenue, which is based on vehicle registration fees, motor vehicle fuel taxes,
rental vehicle excise taxes and a use tax on trailers. Funds are distributed back to cities based on a
per capita formula. Expenditures include operational costs in the Streets and Traffic Engineering
Divisions, funding to Metropolitan Planning Organization of Johnson County Transportation
Planning, and annual repair and maintenance projects within the CIP program.
37-
Municipalities were advised by both the IDOT and the Iowa League of Cities to budget Road Use
Tax receipts conservatively for FY2013, as projections from November, 2011, were "subject to
dramatic changes" as consumers respond to the change in economic conditions. Distribution is
based on our 2010 census population of 67,862, revised revenue estimates for Iowa City are $6.38
million, $6.48 million, and $6.62 million in FY2013 —2015, respectively.
D. Metropolitan Planning Organization of Johnson County (MPO of JC) — MPO of JC
coordinates planning efforts for all of Johnson County. Member agencies include Coralville, Iowa
City, Johnson County, Lone Tree, North Liberty, Oxford, Shueyville, Solon, Swisher, Tiffin,
University Heights and the University of Iowa. While funding is received from all member agencies,
MPO of JC is organized through a 28(E) agreement with the City of Iowa City. This provides for
cost - sharing of clerical, accounting, office space, and vehicle pool expenditures. Beginning with
the FY2013 budget, the Human Services Division tasks have been assumed by staff in the Planning
and Community Development Department. A review of charging for rental space is under
consideration.
E. Tax Increment Financing Funds - Tax Increment Financing Districts have been established in
various locations in Iowa City to encourage economic development. TIF revenues are used to
repay debt incurred for specific projects and to pay property tax rebates on increased valuation
per development- specific agreements within the districts. As these agreements expire and /or
their legal requirements are satisfied, tax revenue generated by the incremental valuation
(increase in property values for the district since it was established) is released and future
receipts are distributed to all taxing authorities. Iowa City's incremental TIF valuation for FY2013
is estimated at $27 million.
F. UniverCity Neighborhood Partnerships — This neighborhood stabilization program's funding
from the State of Iowa ended in FY2012. For FY2013 the program will continue albeit on a
smaller scale, with local funding from the University of Iowa, local financial institutions, and
$160,000 funding from the General Fund.
G. General Rehabilitation and Improvement Program - The General Rehabilitation and
Improvement Program (GRIP) is offered as a complement to the federally- funded CDBG /HOME
programs without the same level of income targeting. GRIP is designed to stabilize and
revitalize neighborhoods through the broader applicability of our Housing Rehabilitation and
Historic Preservation programs. This program allows the City to offer low- interest loans that are
repayable over a 20 -year period, with the money awarded to qualified homeowners on a first -
come, first -serve basis. Previous to FY2013 this program was financed by the issuance of
general obligation debt. Starting this year, GRIP will be financed by the General Fund.
IV. DEBT SERVICE FUND
This fund accounts for annual principal and interest payments due on general obligation debt of the
City. Funding is provided by the debt service property tax levy, transfers from Water Operations, and
loan repayments.
FY2012 through 2015 G.O. bond issues are estimated to be $10.0 million, $10.2 million, $7.9 million
and $3.5 million, respectively. As stated in the City's Fiscal Policy, "Debt incurred as a general
obligation of the City of Iowa City shall not exceed statutory limits: presently 5% of the total assessed
value of property within the corporate limits as established by the City Assessor." The following
schedule and graph depict current and estimated future debt margins for the City as of December,
2015. Property valuations for FY2012 are estimates by the City Assessor's office, FY2013 and
FY2015 are estimated at two percent (2 %) growth annually.

In April 2010, upon recommendation of the Finance Director, the Debt Service Levy policy was revised to
specify that the "debt service levy shall not exceed 30% of the total city property tax levy in any one fiscal
year." The following chart shows the debt service levy as a percentage of the city levy rate for FY2006
through 2015. Fiscal years 2014 and 2015 are based on estimated financing requirements for capital
projects and are subject to changes in other levy rates (based on operating costs) and future changes in
property valuations.

V.
Business -type funds include Parking, Transit, Wastewater Treatment, Water, Refuse, Landfill, Airport,
Stormwater Management, Broadband Telecommunications, and Housing Authority. These activities are
primarily self - supported through user fees for services provided. The exceptions to this are the Iowa
City Airport and Housing Authority. The Iowa City Airport is not self - supported at this time and receives
property tax subsidy. The Iowa City Housing Authority is primarily a federally funded program.
A. Parking Fund —
FY 2013 Fees and Fines Need Review
Parking ramps, lots, and on street meter revenue remain unchanged at this time. Also, there is no
request for an increase in parking fines as fund balance remains healthy. However the proposal for
a new 600 space parking garage and WorkForce housing structure on the former St. Patrick's
parish hall site will require the issuance of additional parking revenue bonds. Parking fees and fines
will need review to determine the size of the rate increase to finance the new parking garage.
B. Transit Fund -
Fee Increase Recommended
Reestablishment of Transit operations as a business -type fund required a review of fiscal
soundness. The fare box fee is scheduled to increase $0.25. Current fare box fee is $0.75 and is
recommended to increase to $1.00, a 33% increase. Also, bus pass fees are recommended to
increase 28 %. These fee increases along with cost savings from expenditure cuts will provide a
sound fiscal base for Transit to operate as a business -type fund. Transit fare and bus pass fees
were last increased in FY1997. Staff recommends a farebox revenue policy of 25% of expenditures
with a goal towards 40% of expenditures.
C. Water Fund -
Fee Increase Recommended
Water main replacement has increased the past few years and is expected to continue due to aging
water mains. A ten percent (10 %) increase in user fees has been recommended in FY2013 budget.
The average monthly increase in water user fees is estimated at $2.74 based on 800 cubic feet of
water consumption. Water fees were last increased in March 2006.
D. Wastewater Treatment Fund -
No change in user fees is recommended at this time. The South Wastewater Plant Expansion
capital improvement project is budgeted to receive $1.9 million in FY012. In addition to the annual
appropriation of $500,000 for sewer main repair, FY2013 has capital project funding of $660,000 for
the Dubuque Street Sanitary Trunk Sewer project. This project will be constructed in conjunction
with the Iowa City Gateway project.
E. Refuse Collection -
No change in user fees is recommended at this time however, we will continue to monitor this fund
due proposed higher landfill fees and to fluctuating fuel costs.
41-
F. Landfill Operations - Fee Increase Recommended
With the completion of the construction of another landfill cell in FY2012 and the building of the East
Side Recycling Center in FY2012, staff recommends a $2.00 per ton increase. Current rates for
Iowa City residents are $38.50 per ton and for Johnson County residents $43.50 per ton. The last
changes in landfill rates were in FY2000 and were decreased.
G. Airport Operations -
The Airport Commission has recommended increasing the Airport Operations Specialist position
from .75 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) to 1.0 FTE for FY2013. This payroll increase amounts to an
estimated additional $17,000. General Fund support is $100,000 annually. Land sales from the
North Airport Commercial Park are expected to repay a portion of the loans on airport hangars
which would allow hangar rents to pay for the additional payroll operating expenses.
Capital project financing includes construction of a six -unit corporate hangar in FY2012. This is an
addition to the capital improvements program adopted in March, 2010. The project would utilize
$400,000 from the sale of parcels in the airport commercial park.
Flood plain mitigation work is scheduled for FY2015 to allow further development of the south
airfield. The project is estimated at $2.0 million, with $1.0 million from federal grants and $1.0
million in general obligation bond funding.
Other capital projects proposed at this time include hangar maintenance and runway / surface
improvements. These projects are ninety -five percent (95 %) federally funded, with a five percent
(5 %) local match from general obligation bonds.
H. Broadband Telecommunications -
This fund accounts for activities within the Cable TV division. Functions include administration of
the cable television franchise agreement, local programming on City Channel 4 and interactive
services on InfoVision Channel 5. The primary funding source for this division is a five percent
(5 %) cable franchise fee, which is part of a non - exclusive franchise agreement and budgeted at
$684,000 in FY2013.
The Community Television Service (CTS), a project of the Cable TV division, produces programs
for nonprofit organizations and cablecasts local public meetings. The CTS receives 55 cents per
cable customer per month to produce this programming under the new agreement with
Mediacom. Revenue from this pass- through fee is estimated at $129,000 for FY2013.
I. Stormwater Management - Annual Fee Increase — FY2013 -2014
A 25% rate increase in stormwater use fees was recommended for each year during FY2012 —
FY2014. The proposed increase will generate an additional $160,000 annually. FY2013 will be
the second year of this rate request will increase user fees from $2.50 /month per Equivalent
Residential Unit (ERU) to $3.00 /month. These rate increases are necessary to provide funding
for stormwater capital projects including $250,000 in FY2012 for Scott Park Development and
$250,000 for Lower Muscatine / Kirkwood to First Avenue. An additional $500,000 is budgeted in
FY2015 for improvements to the system near Riverside Drive and the University of Iowa Arts
42-
Campus.
J. Housing Authority
The Housing Authority works to improve the quality of life for clients, acting as a community
leader on affordable housing by providing information and education, housing assistance, and
public and private partnership opportunities. The Housing Authority is a division of the City of
Iowa City established in 1969 to administer housing assistance programs throughout its
jurisdiction, including all of Johnson County and portions of Iowa and Washington Counties.
We currently assist more than 1,200 low- income families to acquire and maintain affordable
housing through rental and ownership programs. Rental assistance includes the Housing Choice
Voucher and Public Housing Programs. Homeownership opportunities exist under the Tenant -to-
Owner Program, Affordable Dream Homeownership Program, and the Housing Choice
Homeownership Program. Participation in all programs requires the family be within federally
established income guidelines.
The Housing Authority works with approximately 450 landlords. There are approximately 1214
vouchers with a total Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract in excess of $6 million to
landlords within the Housing Authority jurisdiction.
The Iowa City Housing Authority is projected to receive $7.7 million in federal funding through the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (H.U.D.) in FY2013. These monies finance
programs to assist individuals and families in obtaining affordable housing.
VI. INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
Internal service funds include Equipment / Fleet Maintenance, Information Technology Services, Risk
Management Loss Reserves, Central Services, Health and Dental Insurance Reserves. Each of these
activities is funded by the departments and divisions which utilize their services, with projected increases
as follows:
A. Equipment/ Fleet Maintenance -
The Equipment Division provides repair, preventive maintenance and equipment management
services for all major City -owned vehicular equipment with the exception of Transit buses. Fueling
services are also the responsibility of the Equipment Division, along with acquisition of new
vehicles /equipment and disposition of replaced vehicles/equipment.
Gasoline and diesel fuel supply fees for local government agencies are budgeted to increase
22% for FY2013 due to increased fuel costs in FY2011 and projected increases over this current
year. Intra -city charges for equipment / fleet maintenance are projected to increase four percent
(4 %) annually. This charge covers normal vehicle repairs, maintenance and fuel costs. A half
time Buyer position was not filled in FY2012.
B. Information Technologv Services -
Information Technology Services maintains City -owned computer hardware and software, web
application design and services, fiber optic utility, and centralized telephone switch. ITS Staff
provides direct support to City departments and divisions to enhance applications, data
collection, and user interaction while maintaining compliance with local, state, and federal
regulations. No increase is recommended in the various chargeback rates. Staff levels have
43-
decreased by one Senior Programmer Analyst in FY2012 due to retirement. Staffing will be
reviewed subject to anticipated procurement of an enterprise resource planning software system.
C. Risk Management Loss Reserves —
This division seeks to minimize the degree of risk to which City property, individual staff members
and the general public are exposed to in relation to public works, infrastructure and daily
operations. This is accomplished through staff training and education, incident reporting and
review, monitoring of loss histories and annual policy review and renewal. This division is
financed by a chargeback to the General, Employee Benefits, and Business -Type funds based
on claims experience. Several funds including the General fund had rate decreases in FY2013
due lower claims than actuarial projections.
D. Central Services —
This division provides city departments with copier, mail, shipping, and radio maintenance
services. Departmental copy machines are purchased and service agreements are procured by
the Central Services staff.
E. Health and Dental Insurance Reserves - Fee Increase Recommended
This fund manages the procurement and financing of health and dental insurance programs.
Over the last few years health insurance claims have been low and benefit plan changes have
been negotiated with unions resulting in lower estimated health insurance premiums for FY2013.
The insurance company projected rates amount to a one percent (1 %) increase in premiums for
this year. A three percent (3 %) increase has been programmed in to FY2014 and FY2015.

This past year saw a couple of major projects come to fruition. For years the
police department has needed to move its evidence storage from the basement
of the Wilson Building due to deteriorating conditions. Mold and rodents were a
constant problem and space is limited within the Police Department. For at least
five years we have relocated our evidence storage in the basement of the Water
Treatment Facility. Knowing that this is a temporary solution it gives us time to
participate in a space needs study and lobby for new quarters for future
expansion.
The second project was the completion of the Joint Emergency Communications
Center (JECC) where two 911 answering centers were merged into one state of
the art dispatching center. The police department lost 12 communication dispatch
employees, but gained five Station Master positions that run the front desk
operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Major ordinance revisions occurred during this year. A juvenile curfew was
enacted by the City Council and a "21 Only" bar ordinance was enacted also by
council and later upheld by the voting citizens. Both of these ordinances have
had a favorable impact on the quality of life in Iowa City. Citizen involvement and
organized neighborhoodscontributed greatly as well.

3. General Police Data Discrepancies
Performing a comparative analysis between local jurisdictions is an imperfect process. Data is influenced
by differences in definitions, reporting, and collection measures. It must be noted that it is important to
focus on the trends in the data between communities rather than any one specific data point. While
measures have been taken to universalize and standardize the data, the trend in the data is the most
valuable information provided.
UNIVERSAL CRIME REPORTING (UCR 1)
Crimes can be reported in various ways. The UCR system has been a standard used by police
departments across the United States and is utilized by the State of Iowa as a means of reporting data.
UCR1 data specifically refers to two groups of crimes: UCR 1 Property Crimes and UCR 1 Violent Crimes.
The following crimes are represented in these groups:
UCR 1 Property Crimes
UCR 1 Violent Crimes
Arson
Murder /Non -Neg Manslaughter
Burglary
Forcible Rape
Larceny
Robbery
Shoplifting
Aggravated Assault
All forms of Theft
While more crimes exist, these crimes are utilized to provide an overview of workload and highlight
serious crimes in a community. Even with universal reporting, actual reporting of the crimes may vary
between communities

4. ICMA Performance Measures
The data presented below represents the raw data collected by the Iowa City Police Department and
information gathered from the Iowa Department of Public Safety. Data synthesis was based on the
International City /County Management Association (ICMA) performance measurement structure. The
Iowa City data has been benchmarked against the 2010 ICMA Measurement Performance Data.
Specifically, the analysis and benchmarks are for communities with a population between 25k and 100k.

DIVISION: PATROL
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Personnel assigned to patrol operations are responsible for responding to calls for
service and in- progress crimes. The officers assigned to the Uniform Patrol section
carry out these duties year round, around the clock. Additionally, they participate in
proactive patrol, enforce applicable laws, and are responsible for providing the
community a point of contact for events which occur within their assigned area or "beat'.
Officers assigned to the Patrol section are assigned to a specific watch, which is
generally an eight -hour block of time during which the officer carries out their duties.
The beat to which the officers are assigned is determined by the Watch Commander,
who holds the rank of Lieutenant, and Field Supervisors, who hold the rank of Sergeant.
Once officers are assigned to a beat, they are generally responsible for providing a
police response to all incidents which occur in that beat during their watch. Beat officers
are expected to establish or enhance communication between the Department and
those residents, business employees, school officials and others within their beat so
that the Department can be responsive to concerns. The beat officer is truly the "face of
the Department' for many residents. Within the patrol unit, Officers are selected to
receive specialized training, to including a Special Response Team, Crisis Negotiation
Team, two K9 Units, one member on the Johnson County Metro Bomb Team, Field
Training Officers and Crime Scene Technicians.

the community. The goal of the Citizens Police Academy is to promote a better
relationship between police officers and citizens.
The Citizen's Police Academy is an eleven week program, which meets one night per
week, typically January through April. Past academies have had training topics such as:
police officer selection and training; search and seizure; ethical issues; use of force;
firearms; defensive tactics; drug investigations; bomb and SWAT team overviews; and a
tour of the Johnson County Jail. Participants also ride along with officers on patrol.
The Citizen's Police Academy has been especially effective in enhancing
communication between officers and citizens. At the conclusion of the program,
participants have a better understanding of the demands placed upon their police
officers, while at the same time officers gain valuable insight and feedback from the
citizens they serve. The 15th Annual Citizen's Police Academy will meet every Monday
night beginning January 23rd — April 2nd , 2012. Applications are now available at the
Iowa City Police Department and are due by January 13th. Contact Officer Jorey Bailey
at 319 - 356 -5273, or crime - prevention @iowa - city.org for more information.

fitness training.
2. General Fire Data Discrepancies
Performing a comparative analysis between local jurisdictions is an imperfect process. Data is influenced
by differences in definitions, reporting, and collection measures. It must be noted that it is important to
focus on the trends in the data between communities rather than any one specific data point. While
measures have been taken to universalize and standardize the data, the trend in the data is the most
valuable information provided.
Broadly speaking, the physical, political, and demographic characteristics of each reporting jurisdiction
influence performance. Examples include unusually good or bad weather, major budget cuts, and median
household income. Citizen preferences, council or board priorities, local tax resources, and state - imposed
spending limits cause additional variation in the resources available for providing fire and EMS services.
More specifically, some of the factors that influence the comparability of fire and EMS data are:
94-
Building stock — Industrial structures are more likely to be involved in fire or hazardous materials
events. Older structures are less likely to meet current fire codes or to be equipped with fire detection
and suppression systems. High -rise structures may pose additional challenges.
geography— Street layout, terrain, the fire /EMS station locations, and traffic flow can significantly
impact the ability for one jurisdiction to achieve the same level of service as another.
Staffing— Jurisdictions can vary in the numbers assigned per fire apparatus, the minimum scheduled to
work each day, the percentage of sworn vs. civilian staff, and the percentage of volunteers.
Scope— Jurisdictions have varying levels of EMT - medical services offered by fire departments. The
three levels are first responder, paramedic provisional and full paramedic EMS. Cost of service may vary
depending on the degree to which different departments perform EMS services.
4. ICMA Performance Measures
The data presented below represents the raw data collected by the Iowa City Fire Department and
information gathered from the Iowa Department of Public Safety. Data synthesis was based on the
International City /County Management Association (ICMA) performance measurement structure. The
Iowa City data has been benchmarked against the 2010 ICMA Measurement Performance Data.
Specifically, the analysis and benchmarks are for communities with a population between 25k and 100k.

Total Number of Firefighters per 1000 Population Served
This metric reflects the ratio of firefighters relative to the population protected. This metric can
be used as an indicator to baseline protection /service levels in a community. This data can be
used to supplement other metrics to enhance overall understanding of service performance.
Across the country, peer communities tend to
have a higher firefighter/population ratio.
Service levels and staffing needs are based on
community needs. Having a lower or higher

HOUSING & INSPECTION SERVICES
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY
ky,I MI ML1Mfivi9A LTA 1:I► III I
The department is responsible for enforcing a broad range of public health and
safety regulations (i.e., zoning, nuisance, building codes, rental housing,
environmental, etc.) to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the general
public. In addition, the department is responsible for providing affordable housing
opportunities through the Housing Choice Voucher, Public Housing, and
Homeownership programs.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Housing and Inspections Services Department (HIS) includes the following
General Fund cost centers: HIS Administration, Building Inspection, and Rental
Housing Inspection. The Iowa City Housing Authority, also part of HIS, is funded
with federal grants and shown separately here for this reason.
The Building Inspection Division enforces a number of codes and ordinances
which relate to new construction and the maintenance of existing structures in
order to protect the health and safety of the general public, and is entirely
supported by permit and inspection - related fees. The division issues building
permits for new construction, additions, alterations and repairs, sign and
professional permits including mechanical, plumbing, fire sprinkler, and alarms.
All building site plans are reviewed and inspections are conducted to ensure safe
and proper construction in adherence with code. The division also enforces
zoning ordinances and responds to complaints of nuisance - related ordinance
violations.
The Rental Housing Division inspects more than 16,780 rental units annually,
working with property owners, managers, and tenants to ensure conformance
with the Iowa City Housing Code. Code language establishes minimum health
and safety standards considered necessary to protect and promote the welfare of
tenants and the general public. The division also enforces zoning ordinances and
responds to complaints of nuisance - related ordinance violations.
The funding for all inspection services is projected to come from permit and
inspection fees in FY2013.

City of Iowa City, Iowa Performance Reports
2011 Iowa City Public Library Performance Snapshot
Susan Craig, Library Director
Why We Exist: The Iowa City Public Library is an innovative and responsive community center that
supports lifelong learning, literacy, and access to the world of ideas.
Strategic Plan Goals:
• Make the Library easier to use and more accessible.
• Improve visibility and awareness of library services, programs and collections.
• Develop partnerships that build community and support the Library's mission.

3. General Library Data Discrepancies
Performing a comparative analysis between local jurisdictions is an imperfect process. Data are influenced by
differences in definitions, reporting, and collection measures. It must be noted that it is important to focus on
the trends in the data between communities rather than any one specific data point. While measures have been
taken to universalize and standardize the data, the trend in the data is the most valuable information provided.
More specifically, some of the factors that influence the comparability of Library data are:
• Nonresident borrower ratio: The ratio of resident to nonresident borrowers can influence funding for
materials acquisition and program planning. Generally, jurisdictions are more inclined to fund
materials and programming for their own residents.
• Some variation in the number of borrowers may be attributed to the frequency with which jurisdictions
purge their borrower records. All other conditions being equal, jurisdictions that purge records
frequently tend to report fewer registered borrowers than jurisdictions that purge infrequently.
• Because some jurisdictions provide library services to neighboring jurisdictions by means of contract or
other official agreement, the size of the service area may be larger than the population of the
jurisdiction.
• Variations in library expenditures may be attributed to differences in the number of library facilities,
the hours of operation, and the size and scope of holdings and programs.
• Also possibly influencing expenditure levels is citizen demand for library services; traditional library
services such as book loans and reference assistance as well as less traditional library-based services
such as Internet access, adult literacy programs, and more.
• Some differences in the number of items circulated during the reporting period may be attributed to
the size of a jurisdiction's library collection and the proportion of the collection that circulates outside
the library. For example, an increasing number of jurisdictions offer access (both in- library and remote)
to substantial electronic holdings that do not circulate outside the library per se and, therefore, may not
be reflected in circulation statistics.

4. Iowa Urban Public Libraries (IUPLA) Comparison
The data presented below represent performance measures from the Iowa Urban Public Libraries members;
these are the public libraries from Iowa's largest communities. Population for each city is based on 2010 Census
data; the populations of contracting cities and outlying rural areas are not included. This can affect per capita
analyses; it is important to analyze data with respect to a library's level of registered borrowers.

S. Selected National Library Comparison
The charts below present data from selected public libraries. Data was compiled by ICPL using metrics based on
the ICMA Center for Performance Measurement report. 2009 reported data are used, the most recent available
for some comparison libraries. *Population includes residents for each library's entire service area, including
contracting cities and proportional representations of rural county populations. For instance, the population used
for Iowa City includes a portion of rural county residents, Hills, and University Heights. This is important to help
standardize data, especially when comparing to regional libraries such as Daniel Boone in the Columbia, Missouri
area.

6. Metric Comparative Analysis ICMA vs. IUPLA
Operating Expenditures per Capita
ICMA Summary
ICPL has per capita operating expenditures
dramatically higher than the ICMA peer group
average. Expenditures for ICPL average
$85.45 per resident compared to the ICMA
average of $32.91.
IUPLA Summary
ICPL's per capita operating expenditures are
also much higher than the IUPLA average of
$44.66. ICPL has the highest per capita
expenditures among IUPLA members and is
$29.39 more than the next highest IUPLA
�
library (Ames).
Registered Borrowers per Capita
ICMA Summary
ICPL has many more registered borrowers per
capita than ICMA peer communities. ICPL has
more registered borrowers than Iowa City has
residents, with a registered borrower
percentage of just over 100 %. The ICMA
average for communities of 25,000 to 100,000
residents is 65 %.
IUPLA Summary
ICPL also has a very high per capita registered
borrower percentage when compared to other
Iowa public libraries. The average for IUPLA
libraries is 69 %. ICPL ranks first in this metric
among IUPLA members.
134-
Consider:
While this metric is affected by
ICPL's large number of non-
resident borrowers, it is still
exceptionally high. This tends to
be the case with cities that are
home to large universities; ICPL's
per capita expenditures are
comparable to libraries in
Bloomington (IL), Ann Arbor (MI),
and Boulder (CO). However, ICPL
expenditures are significantly
higher than Ames, also home to a
large state university.
Consider:
ICPL has a significant number of
non - resident borrowers. 71% of
the library's registered borrowers
are City residents. This additional
activity may have the effect of
increasing the per capita cost of the
library for City residents, but may
also serve as an attraction that
brings visitors to the City from
outlying areas. Fittingly, ICPL
receives the most county financial
support among IUPLA members.
Consider:

Consider:
Again, university communities spend much
more per capita on their public libraries
than other cities; Ames spends just $1 less
per capita than Iowa City. Both cities
spend well above the IUPLA average.
Consider:
ICPL's rental revenue from leased space
accounts for approximately $2 per capita
that is not used for operational expenses.
Consider:
While Iowa City appropriates more per
resident to its library than any other IUPLA
member community, the ICPL also generates
more charitable and county income than any
other IUPLA library. Furthermore, ICPL
receives the second most in state
appropriations and generates the second most
in fines /fees, behind Des Moines.
Consider:
ICPL expenditures per borrower remain high
despite its high number of registered borrowers
per capita. While non - resident borrowers do
influence per capita expenditures, operational
costs are still far above the IUPLA average after
non - resident borrowers are accounted for.
Consider:
While ICPL has a high per capita FTE staff, total
personnel costs still comprise a lower than
average percentage of the library's total budget.

DEPARTMENT / DIVISION: SENIOR CENTER
MISSION
The mission of the Senior Center is to promote optimal aging among older adults
by offering programs and services that promote wellness, social interaction,
community engagement, and intellectual growth. The Center serves the public
through intergenerational programming and community outreach.
A]: U:1919 A/ *9
The Senior Center's program components provide a variety of opportunities for
education, social engagement, physical activity, and community involvement.
Educational classes cover everything from literature and fitness classes to video
production, music, and art education.
Social engagement among participants and within the community is promoted.
Classes, which are often open to non - members or intergenerational, incorporate
time for participants to interact with each other. Volunteer groups are involved
with community activities to teach, share information about The Center, and
conduct fundraising activities. The AARP Tax Aide Program, University of Iowa
Counseling Services, Volunteer Lawyers, Senior Health Insurance Information
Program, Visiting Nurses Association, and Senior Nutrition Program all ensure
that the community comes into The Center. In addition, The Center's role in the
Respecting Your Wishes initiative will bring people of all ages into The Center for
consultation with trained senior volunteers on the preparation and distribution of
advanced care directives.
Another community outreach service offered by The Center involves
performances in venues throughout the county by the New Horizons Band and
ensemble groups, New Horizons Orchestra, Voices of Experience, Senior
Standing Room Only Theatre Group, Senior Center Dance Team, and Reading
Aloud Poetry Group. These performances benefit both the performers and the
audience. Performers are able to share their talents with the community and
maintain or expand mental fitness and social connections. Viewers can enjoy
entertainment in an environment that promotes social interaction.
Working as teachers, leaders, project directors, building supervisors, or special
project volunteers, Center volunteers play a critical role in the successful
156-
operation of The Center. Staff members routinely recognize the significant and
meaningful contributions made by volunteers. Notably, this type of volunteering
can bring a sense of purpose or meaningfulness to a person's life.
Establishing social connections, keeping active physically and mentally, and
maintaining contact with the community are cornerstones of optimal aging, and
they are what we do best at The Center.

City of Iowa City, Iowa Performance Reports
2011 Iowa City Senior Center Performance Snapshot
Linda Kopping, Senior Center Coordinator
Why We Exist: The mission of the Senior Center is to encourage optimal aging among older adults by
offering programs and services that promote wellness, social interaction, community engagement, and
intellectual growth. The Center serves the public through intergenerational programming and community
outreach.
Strategic plan goals 2010 -2015:
To provide opportunities and advocacy to
empower seniors in order to combat ageism,
create a positive image of aging, and a
positive image of the Senior Center.
To improve stability and diversity of
financing.
To increase cultural diversity among
participants.
• To promote an environment of inclusion.
• To be synonymous with the highest quality
programs that promote optimal aging.
• To involve the Senior Center in the
community and the community in The
Center.
• To improve accountability and transparency.
1. Top Accomplishments and Challenges this Year
• Challenged negative images of The Center and aging by producing effective television commercials
that helped change the image of The Center and aging. Very effective in spreading information and
creating a little "buzz."
• Without additional funding or staff, expanded and enriched programming with community
partnerships.
• Memberships increased to 1391.
• Successfully served the varied interests of older adults from 50 to 100 years of age; total of 123,996
visits in FY11.
• Conducted outcome based surveys of fitness and performance group participants. Results were
overwhelmingly positive and demonstrated self - perceived health - related changes.
• Maintained quality of cardio room by acquiring 3 state -of -art pieces of exercise equipment for
participant use.
• Identified and coordinated the work of 500 volunteers served The Center /community.
• Increased participant involvement in the operation of The Center by forming the steering council and
working committees. Committees selected new logo, conducted class evaluations, developed
promotional brochure, etc.
• Expanded evening and weekend programming to better serve the community.
• Participated in community initiatives — advance care planning, visibility action team (LGBT creating an
environment of inclusion); major partner in both initiatives.
• Increased recycling, moving toward a paperless building. Community recycling center for cell
phones.
• Lowered operating costs with new boiler, chiller, and roof.
161-
2. Maior Issues to Address in the Near Future
• Complete accreditation process through the National Institute of Senior Centers, a subunit of the
National Council on Aging.
• Secure and stabilize funding to support operational expenses.
• Begin to establish relationships with leaders in various ethnic communities.
• Conduct and analyze a community survey of people 50+ years of age.
• Replace malfunctioning emergency panel.
• We have more participant demand for classes than space in which to accommodate them. How we
can satisfy the demand we have created is a challenge for FY12.
• Establish The Center as a central location for community members to meet with trained volunteers to
receive counseling as a part of the Honoring Your Wishes: A Community -Wide Advance Care Planning
Initiative.
• Begin transition to electronic production /transmission of program guide or a weekly news brief.
3. Senior Center Performance Measures
The data below were collected by the Iowa City /Johnson County Senior Center. Data are influenced by
several factors, most notably the manner in which capital projects are budgeted and the operations of meal
service controlled by an outside agency rather than the City. Thus, it is more important to analyze data
trends than to focus on any one particular data point.

fairly unique; thus, comparative analysis with similar departments is challenging. A comparison to the
Madison Senior Center is provided below. This comparison is used due to organization, program, and

regulations designed to promote the preservation of historic landmarks and
districts.

DEPARTMENT: PLANNING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DIVISION: NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES
MISSION STATEMENT
Provide a conduit between all City departments and the network of neighborhood
associations within Iowa City, and facilitate the distribution of funds made available
by the City Council for small -scale neighborhood improvements.
A]:U:1919 W *9
Neighborhood Services supports and encourages citizens to help shape the
future of their neighborhood. By assisting in the establishment of neighborhood
associations, and coordinating with 33 neighborhood associations, this division
seeks to encourage action by providing ideas and resources that help
associations address their needs and interests within the goals of the larger
community.
The City Council has made funds available to neighborhood associations through
the PIN (Program for Improving Neighborhoods) grant program, with $15,000 available,
annually. Administration of this program involves making applications available to
the neighborhoods, clarifying the administrative rules, assisting with project
development, review by the Neighborhood Council, preparation of a
recommendation to the City Council, formal approval by the City Council,
execution of contract documents, and implementation of projects.

DEPARTMENT: PLANNING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DIVISION: PUBLIC ART
MISSION STATEMENT
Develop and maintain the City's inventory of public art, and encourage privately -
owned art in public spaces.
A]:31Jx919LTJ *9
The Public Art program was established by City Council in 1997 and initiated by
the Arts /Business Partnership of the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce. An
advisory committee is charged with commissioning, procurement, maintenance,
and decommissioning of public art. It maintains a relationship with the City of
Literature and the literary arts. Although originally involved in the funding and
commissioning of public art, budget realities have resulted in a culture of
facilitating no -cost and low -cost public art opportunities.
Examples of Public Art Program - facilitated installations include Herky on Parade
(2004), Bookmarks (2011), and numerous art pieces throughout downtown Iowa
City and within Iowa City parks.

DEPARTMENT: PLANNING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DIVISION: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
MISSION STATEMENT
Augment federal funding of community development and economic development
activities.
OBJECTIVES
Community Development staff are committed to providing Iowa City residents
with access to safe and affordable housing, jobs and services. This is
accomplished by coordinating efforts with local agencies, non profit organizations
and other community partners, and by administering and coordinating activities
relating to city, state, and federal housing and community development
programs.
Economic development activities include:
• Neighborhood redevelopment
• Entrepreneurial development
• Working with financial institutions
The Housing Rehabilitation program works to help residents maintain and update
their homes by providing financial assistance to income eligible homeowners.
The availability of affordable, low or no- interest loans provides lower income
homeowners the opportunity to make repairs on their homes and ultimately helps
to maintain Iowa City's housing stock. Funding is available through the federally -
funded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment
Partnership programs, and through the General Rehabilitation and Improvement
Program (GRIP), which is funded by general obligation bonds.

DEPARTMENT: PLANNING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DIVISION: UNIVERCITY NEIGHBORHOOD PARTNERSHIPS
MISSION STATEMENT
UniverCity Neighborhood Partnerships began in January, 2010, as a cooperative
effort between the City of Iowa City and University of Iowa with a goal of restoring
the balance between affordable single family homes and rental properties in
neighborhoods near the U of I campus.
OBJECTIVES
Administered through the City of Iowa City, this program purchases and
renovates former or potential rental properties, making them made available to
income - qualified homebuyers who agree to live there for a minimum of five
years.
The program received appropriations of $1.25 million through I -JOBS, allowing
for a maximum of $50,000 in restoration costs per property. Local banking
institutions provide low- interest loans on the properties during renovation, with
other administrative costs paid for by the City of Iowa City. The University of Iowa
authorized a grant of $200,000 to provide down payment assistance to those
purchasing the homes. Carrying costs on the properties (property taxes,
insurance, utilities, property maintenance costs) are paid by the new owner(s) at
closing.
Revenue includes loan proceeds for initial purchase of the property and from sale
of the property to the homeowner. Likewise, program expenditures include
purchase of individual properties and loan repayment from when the property is
sold.
The UniverCity program purchased 26 properties and sold 14 properties. Twelve
homes are under renovation with a completion deadline of 12/31/2011.
A proposal has been submitted to continue the program in FY13 with a
combination of City and University funds.

DEPARTMENT: FINANCE
DIVISION: EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
This fund accounts for annual employee benefit costs for the General Fund and a
share of Road Use Tax employees. Costs include health, dental, life and
disability insurance; employer -share FICA and IPERS retirement contributions;
Chapter 411 Police and Fire retirement contributions, accidental disability and
on- the -job injury medical claims; and workers compensation insurance.
Legal authority for the fund is established by two sections code. Iowa State
Code chapter 386.6.1 provides authority for municipalities to establish a fund for
the purpose of "accounting for pension and related employee benefit funds as
provided by the City Finance Committee ", while also providing the authority to
levy a tax in the amount necessary to meet these obligations. Chapter 545.4 of
the Administrative Code of Iowa provides the City Finance Committee's definition
of eligible benefits and how they are must be accounted for.
During the 2009 legislative session, a bill was passed amending section
411.16(5)(c)(2) of the Iowa State Code. This amendment added a presumption
for police and fire personnel, that any infectious disease and /or cancer is
presumed to have been contracted during the performance of the duties, placing
fiduciary responsibility for all related medical claims upon the employer. As with
other accidental disability and on- the -job medical claims, cash reserves will be
utilized to prevent a spike in the tax levy in any given year from such claims. For
this reason, cash balance is recommended to be twenty -five percent (25 %) of
total fund expenditures.

DEPARTMENT: PLANNING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DIVISION: TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
MISSION STATEMENT
Facilitate the creation of Tax Increment Financing projects consistent with the
City Council's adopted economic development goals in order to grow the
property tax base and create jobs.
OBJECTIVES
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts have been established in various
locations in Iowa City to encourage economic development. TIF revenues are
used to repay debt incurred for specific projects and to pay property tax rebates
on increased valuation per development- specific agreements within the districts.
As TIF agreements expire and /or their legal requirements are satisfied, tax
revenue generated by the incremental valuation (increase in property values for
the district since it was established) is distributed to all taxing authorities. Iowa
City's incremental TIF valuation for FY2013 is $33 million. The objective of Iowa
City's TIF capacity is to provide gap financing for development projects which
meet the adopted goals and criteria of the respective TIF district.
List districts / notes by district:
• Northgate Corporate Park
• Sycamore and First Avenue
• Scott Six Industrial Park
• City- University Project I (Downtown)
• Lower Muscatine Rd. & Hwy. 6

Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) designations are made by the
Governor of the State of Iowa. The MPO of Johnson County services the Iowa
City Urbanized Area, which includes Iowa City, Coralville, North Liberty, Tiffin,
University Heights, and the University of Iowa. The MPO coordinates planning
efforts for all of Johnson County in: transportation planning, data collection and
analysis, and assistance to small communities. Member agencies outside of the
Iowa City Urbanized Area include Johnson County, Lone Tree, Oxford,
Shueyville, Solon, and Swisher.
The Transportation Planning Division fulfills federal requirements involving the
transportation planning process in order to maintain eligibility for grant programs
through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Federal Highway
Administration (FHA). The "3 -C transportation planning process consists of a
comprehensive, coordinated and continuing planning effort for all modes of
transportation. Projects include short- and long -range transportation development
plans, corridor studies, intersection analyses, survey reports, and review of
development projects. The Transportation Planning Division also prepares state
and federal grant applications and fulfills the associated administration and
regulation compliance.
In past years, the MPO has also facilitated discussion on regional issues
including a fire protection mutual aid agreement, joint animal control facilities, a
Joint Emergency Communications Center.
232-
Although funding is received from all MPO members, the MPO is organized
under the City of Iowa City. Through a 28(E) agreement, staff provide assistance
to the other members of MPOJC. This provides for cost - effective sharing of
clerical, accounting, office space and vehicle pool expenditures.
The MPO Human Services Coordinator position has been vacant since August
2011, and is proposed to be formally eliminated in the FY13 budget. Duties
associated with this position are being distributed amongst other divisions,
including Transportation Planning (Human Service Agency Transit Planning,
investigation of ADA issues, SEATS eligibility verification); Community
Development (Aid to Agencies coordination, assistance with grant programs);
Transit (distribution of free and reduced price bus passes); and other
departments that interact with human services agencies.
Some duties associated with this position will be eliminated, most notably,
participation on human service agency boards and committees, and maintenance
and distribution of services directories and resources. Internet -based information
directories, agency web sites and other local government information will help fill
this gap. Elimination of this position results in a reduction 1.0 FTE.

DEPARTMENT: PLANNING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DIVISION: GENERAL REHABILITATION & IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
MISSION STATEMENT
The General Rehabilitation and Improvement Program (GRIP) provides city -
funded long -term, low- interest loans to qualifying homeowners for home
maintenance and improvement projects.
OBJECTIVES
GRIP is the successor to TARP (Targeted Area Rehabilitation Program), a
similar program implemented in 2001 that was offered to residents in targeted
areas of the City. The success of the TARP program and the interest expressed
by citizens who lived outside of the target areas led the Housing and Community
Development Commission to recommend expanding the program to make it
available city -wide, which the City Council approved at their April 29, 2008
meeting. The program is funded through City general obligation bond funds for
up to $200,000 annually.
The program is available to residents whose household earnings fall at or below
110% of the city's median income.
In addition to the loan, GRIP also extends the technical assistance and support
of the City's Housing Rehabilitation staff, who can help participating homeowners
with remodeling ideas, assistance in choosing a contractor, and helping oversee
the project's progress.
GRIP funds are awarded on a first -come, first - served basis, with $200,000
available in FY2013.

DEPARTMENT: TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
DIVISION: TRANSIT
MISSION STATEMENT
The Transportation Services Department oversees the daily operations of the
parking and public transit system for the City of Iowa City.
C91:311x611119W
Fixed Route Operations: Iowa City Transit fixed route operations include 19
routes during weekday peak service within the corporate limits of Iowa City while
also servicing University Heights. Hours of service are 5:45 AM — 11:00 PM,
Monday — Friday and 5:45 AM — 7:40 PM on Saturday. During peak hours, most
routes operate on 30 minute headways while providing hourly service during off -
peak and Saturdays. Complimentary para- transit service is provided mirroring the
hours of operation of the fixed route service. These services are contracted
through an agreement with Johnson County SEATS with vehicles provided by
the City of Iowa City. Iowa City Transit maintains a fleet of 27 40 ft. heavy duty
buses and 10 para- transit buses, all of which are ADA accessible.
In addition to operating the public transit services, Iowa City Transit also operates
the Court Street Transportation Center. This multi -use facility houses a 600
space parking facility and four commercial properties. This facility was FTA
funded resulting in all revenues being directed to the transit fund.
Funding: Iowa City Transit is funded through several sources:
Transit Property tax levy - $.95 per $1,000: Iowa State Code chapter
384.12.10 provides the legal authority for municipalities to levy "a tax for
the operation and maintenance of a municipal transit system... and for
creation of a reserve fund for the system... in an amount not to exceed
ninety -five cents per thousand dollars of assessed value each year, when
the revenues from the transit system or district are insufficient for such
purposes."
Federal Operating Assistance — Based on an MPOJC formula as funds
are split between Cambus, Coralville Transit and Iowa City Transit
248-
State Operating Assistance
JARC — This is a federally- funded, application -based grant
Farebox and Bus Pass Revenues: It has been 15 years since the last fare
increase for Iowa City Transit. At that time single fares increased $0.15
to $0.75 for a one -way fare. The FY2013 budget proposal includes an
increase in bus fares and passes would result in the following:
Court Street Transportation Parking and Rent Revenues — This includes
all hourly($.60 per hour) and permit ($80 per month) parking as well as
rent from the commercial properties.
Recent Highlights:
• Representatives from Iowa City, Coralville and University of Iowa were
awarded the IOWA award from the University of Iowa for Bongo transit
AVL system.
• Provided nearly 1.9 million rides
• Received funding for nine heavy duty buses over the past two years. Six
have been implemented into our fleet, three are in process.
• Completed FTA triennial review
• Received grant funding to replace existing farebox system
• Began study to relocate transit facility. Current facility was constructed on
a former dump /landfill site.
FY2013 Budget Proposal: Effective with the FY2013 City of Iowa City Budget,
the transit operations will no longer be a part of the General Fund. This results in
a reduction of funding to the transit system of roughly $1.1 million. In order to
make up this reduction, several changes needed to be made within the transit
operations to insure that a sustainable budget was presented to City Council.
The substantial changes are listed below.

The substantial changes are listed below.
249-
Revenue: As
discussed previously, the
FY2013 budget proposal includes an
increase in bus
fares and passes to be effective July 1, 2012, which
would result
in the following:
Current
Proposed
One way fare
$75

10 -Ride Pass
$6.50
$8.50
Student Semester Pass
$80.00
$100.00
In addition to fare increases, Iowa City Transit will more aggressively pursue
advertising, including bus wraps which could result in a substantial revenue
source.
Expenses: Increased revenues are not enough to cover the operating deficit
which results in cuts to expenses in order to maintain our operations and
contribute to our capital reserve fund. Several proposed reductions were made
within transit operations to fill the gap after revenue increases were considered.
The substantial changes are listed below.
• Reduction of Scheduled Overtime — These are internal changes that we
are making to better schedule transit runs to reduce our overtime
commitment
• Split of MWI responsibilities between parking and transit
• Reduction of one .75 mass transit operator position
• Reduction of one MWI position
• Elimination of body shop operations as a part of transit operations — This
resulted in the reduction of one Body Repair Mechanic.

4. General Transit Data Discrepancies
Performing a comparative analysis between local jurisdictions is an imperfect process. Data are
influenced by differences in definitions, reporting, and collection measures. It must be noted that it is
important to focus on the trends in the data between communities rather than any one specific data
point. While measures have been taken to universalize and standardize the data, the trend in the data is
the most valuable information provided.
More specifically, some of the factors that influence the comparability of Transit data are:
• The ability for communities to collect data and maintain records of data (ex. Some track CY
others track FY)
• The level to which capital expenditures and loan servicing are included in the budget.
• Differences in the services offered and reported by transit departments (some include airport,
university -city partnerships).
• The amount of federal and state grants secured and how these are accounted for in the transit
budget.
• How services are highlighted in the budget document.
• Staff worked to universalize the data; however, some communities had very fractured systems.
This required staff to execute latitude in combining services and budgets.

S. Iowa Transit Comparison
The data presented below compare performance measures from selected Iowa transit departments in the
Iowa Metro - Coalition. Expenditures are FY2010 budget estimates. Operational expenditures consist of
personnel, services, and supplies. Communities that were too dissimilar in operations and structure were
excluded. North Liberty and Coralville were combined and included in the rankings. Current FY10 data
was used in the comparative analysis.

MISSION STATEMENT
The Iowa City Wastewater Division exists in order to economically ensure the
public health and safety of the citizens of Iowa City and locally protect the Iowa
River as a water resource for the people of Iowa. The Division will achieve the
mission by providing proper care, operation, and maintenance of City wastewater
and storm water collection systems, treatment plants, and the local environment.
BACKGROUND
The Wastewater Division operates and maintains two treatment plants, 17 lift
stations, and 300 miles of sanitary sewer piping throughout the city, processing
an average of 9.7 million gallons of wastewater per day. Staff members measure
and report 120 different tests per month to the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) for both influent waste and treated effluent.
Other major work elements for this Division include sewer main repairs,
preventative maintenance, and 24/7 response to emergency sewer calls. Staffing
is seven days a week for operations staff. Administrative, lab, and maintenance
staff are on -site five days a week.
The South Plant, located at 4366 Napoleon St. SE, was expanded in 2002 to
accommodate more stringent ammonia removal standards and future growth in
residential and industrial customers. Maximum flow capacity of both facilities is
42 million gallons a day.

DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS
DIVISION: LANDFILL
MISSION STATEMENT
The Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center is committed to providing
environmentally and fiscally responsible solid waste, composting, and recycling
facilities while working towards significantly reducing reliance on the Landfill. The
Landfill will operate in accordance with all rules and regulations of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources.
BACKGROUND
The Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center handles waste disposal, recycling, and
composting for all of Johnson County. Located at 3900 Hebl Avenue SW, the
Landfill is open from 7 AM to 4:30 PM Monday- Saturday, with hazardous waste
accepted by appointment. In FY2007, the landfill handled over 143,000 tons of
material, 103,100 tons of which was landfilled. Curbside and drop -off recycling
exceeded 2,050 tons and 6,400 tons of yard waste was accepted; an estimated
2,300 tons of compost was redistributed throughout the county as a soil
amendment.
There are numerous types of special waste which are received, but separated
out for material- specific handling. This includes electronic and hazardous waste,
yard waste, tires, recycled products (paper, plastics, glass, cardboard), reusable
furniture, and building materials.
Electronic and Hazardous Waste: The Landfill contracts with a DNR- approved
recycler to provide environmentally safe disposal and /or recycling of electronic
products which contain lead and other substances that can be harmful to the
environment if disposed of improperly. A Hazardous Waste Collection Facility
was added in 2000 to accept used oil, old paint, batteries, household and
commercial chemicals, which previously were landfilled.
Yard Waste and Composting: Iowa City residents can take yard waste directly
to the Landfill and deposit it at no charge. These materials are composted and
made available to the public as mulch and compost.
273-
Reusable Furniture and Construction Materials: The Landfill works with
organizations like Furniture Project, Habitat for Humanity's Restore and Salvage
Barn, which divert reusable furniture and building materials from landfilling to
people who can use them.
FY2013 Budget Proposal: The FY2013 budget proposal includes a tipping fee
increase of $2.00 /ton, as follows:
Iowa City Residents
Non - resident
Current Proposed
$38.50 /ton $40.50 /ton
$43.50 /ton $45.50 /ton
This is the first increase in eighteen (18) years. Primary factors contributing to
the proposed increase are fuel prices and more stringent state and federal
regulations.

278-
2. Maior Issues to Address in the Near Future
• Capacity Needs:
• T- hangar Waiting list holds 20+ entries
• Demand for hangar space for larger business class aircraft, specifically for King Air 200
series, and Citation I -IV series aircraft
• Additional Aircraft parking spaces are needed during high traffic times (football weekends)
• Budget:
• Airport Operations budget is supplemented by general fund contributions. Cuts to general
fund contributions would impact airport operations
• Seek additional funding opportunities and steady income streams
• Airspace:
0 Airspace Obstruction Mitigation projects are planned for approach ends of Runway 12 and
Runway 30.
• Maintenance:
0 Most buildings around airport are from 1960 -1970s era. This requires a higher dollar
upkeep than modern buildings. Main Terminal built in 1951. Many buildings are coming
due for rehabilitation at the same time which impacts budget.
• Public Outreach:
• Seek more events and activities to host at the airport. This draws non - aviation people to
the airport and increases awareness of the airport.
• Communication of airport economic impact to area officials, elected and non - elected.
3. Airport Performance Measures
The data presented below was collected by the Iowa City Airport. It is important to note that data are
influenced by year -to -year differences in asset sales and capital projects. Thus, it is more important to
focus on data trends than any given data point.

4. General Airport Data Discrepancies
Performing a comparative analysis between local jurisdictions is an imperfect process. Data are
influenced by differences in definitions, reporting, and collection measures. Thus, it is important to focus
on the trends in the data between communities rather than any one specific data point. While measures
have been taken to universalize and standardize the data, the trend in the data is the most valuable
information provided.
More specifically, some of the factors that influence the comparability of Airport data are:
• Differences in services offered at general aviation airports (e.g. types of fuel, maintenance
services, instruction and rental services).
• The level to which capital expenditures and loan servicing are included in the airport's budget.
• The amount of asset sales and the level to which these may be used for capital improvements.
• Differences in airport size, runway length, number of hangars operated, and types of aircraft
accommodated.
• Three types of general aviation airports are analyzed in section 5: enhanced service,
general service, and basic service. The specific criteria for each general aviation airport
category are detailed in section 8.
• Enhanced service airports have runways 5,000 feet or greater in length with facilities and
services that can accommodate a full range of general aviation activity, including most
business jets. These airports serve business aviation and are regional transportation
centers and economic catalysts.
• General service airports have runways 4,000 feet or greater in length with facilities and
services customized to support most general aviation activity, including small to mid -size
business jets. These airports serve as a community economic asset.
• Basic service airports have runways 3,000 feet or greater in length with facilities and
services customized to meet local aviation demands.
• The amount of federal and state grants secured and how these are accounted for in airport
budgets.
• Whether data are collected on a calendar year or fiscal year basis.
• Controlling authority and management structure of the airport:
• For some airports, an airport commission has the authority to control nearly all aspects of
airport operations, however, they do not have the authority to levy taxes. Iowa City has
an airport commission.
• An aviation authority may be created through public referendum and does have the
authority to levy taxes.
• Some airports are a department of City government and have a full -time airport
manager; others operate as a division of another department, such as Public Works.
Smaller airports may not use City staff at all by including management responsibilities in
their FBO contracts.
S. Iowa General Aviation Airport Comparison
The data presented below compare performance measures from selected Iowa General Aviation airports.
Expenditures are FY2010 budget estimates. Operational expenditures consist of personnel, services, and
supplies. General service airports are listed parenthetically; the sole basic service airport analyzed is in
brackets. All other airports included are enhanced service airports. *Estimated economic output is
derived from the Iowa Department of Transportation's Economiclmpact ofAviation report, 2009.

6. Iowa General Aviation Airport Activity Comparison
The chart below presents data from Iowa City compared to two Iowa general aviation airports. All three
are categorized as enhanced service. Fuel flowage is an accurate proxy for airport activity. Operational
expenses include personnel costs, services, and supplies. Services vary by airport, thus data should be
analyzed in conjunction with all metrics; trends are more indicative of performance than any one data
point. *Data discrepancy: Iowa City fuel flowage data is calculated by calendar year; Davenport and
Muscatine are tallied by fiscal year.

DIVISION: STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
MISSION STATEMENT
The Iowa City Stormwater utility exists to provide safe, clean, and healthy
waterways for our community. We do this by using education, outreach,
community involvement, volunteers, capital projects, and enforcing our City's
Ordinances that provide for and protect our watersheds.
1:7e 11J:101C 41] RJ ►U1
In prior years, stormwater management focused on handling large quantities of
water run -off in an urban environment and the prevention of flooding in low -lying
areas. Storm sewers, ditches, and detention /retention ponds were built to carry
stormwater away from homes and businesses during such events. In order to
protect and improve valuable water resources, new federal regulations focus on
the pollutants which are known to be carried by stormwater into streams and
rivers. Iowa City is now required to implement various programs related to
stormwater quality under a federally mandated Stormwater Permit.
Management of the Stormwater utility is provided through the Engineering
Division.

DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER
DIVISION: BROADBAND TELECOMMUNICATIONS / CABLE TV
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Iowa City Cable Division is to inform and educate the Iowa
City community about the civic and public activities, issues and political events of
local governments and community organizations; to recommend to the City
Council through its Commission policies related to the regulation development
and operation of cable television, broadband, and interactive systems in Iowa
City, to support cable television subscribers in resolution of problems with service
providers; to provide general audio /visual support to City departments and to
facilitate and support other local cable channels in their efforts to provide news,
information and entertainment to the Iowa City community.
OBJECTIVES
Broadband Telecommunications, also known as the Cable TV Division, is
comprised of three units: Cable TV Administration, the Media Production
Services Unit, and the Cable Programming /Interactive Services Unit.
Cable TV Administration oversees the Cable Division's operations, monitors
cable franchise agreement compliance, provides a complaint resolution service
for citizens with the local cable company, regulates basic cable service rates,
monitors the public access service contract compliance and supports other local
cable television programming channels. Administration also serves as staff for
the Iowa City Telecommunications Commission (ICTC), manages their official
triennial review of cable provider's performance and conducts special projects
such as research or community surveys. Administration also monitors changes
in Federal and State laws and regulations and relevant legal decisions related to
cable television, broadband or telecommunications
The Media Production Services Unit produces local government and
community video programming including local public meetings such as the Iowa
City City Council and Foreign Relations Council meetings; balanced political
programming such as League of Women Voters and other NGO forums;
informational programming such as City departmental and community
organizational profiles, services, projects, or activities and a wide variety of local
musical public performances.
287-
The Division's Cable Programming /Interactive Services Unit schedules
programming on City Channel 4, operates cable Channel 5, an interactive
service providing local video programming on demand, and manages Channel
4's web presence including streaming video. The Unit also supports City
Department's development of multimedia programming and interactive training.
Additionally the Unit operates the www.citychannel4.com website which provides
Internet video on demand services, Division information, and general information
about cable services in Iowa City.
Funding: Cable TV is funded entirely by cable user fees, which are part of a
non - exclusive franchise agreement. A small portion of this funding is allocated
annually by the Iowa City Telecommunication Commission as grant funding for
improvements in local programming. Eligible recipients include the Iowa City
Public Library for Channel 10, Senior Center for SCTV video programming, the
schools for Channel 21, Public Access Television (PATV) Channel 18 and CTS
and City Channel 4.

DEPARTMENT: HOUSING & INSPECTION SERVICES
DIVISION: HOUSING AUTHORITY
MISSION STATEMENT
To improve quality of life, the Iowa City Housing Authority acts as a
community leader for affordable housing, family self- sufficiency, and
homeownership opportunities. We provide information and education,
housing assistance, and public and private partnership opportunities.
DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
The Housing Authority is a division of the City of Iowa City established in 1969
to administer housing assistance programs throughout its jurisdiction, including
all of Johnson County and portions of Iowa and Washington Counties.
It currently assists approximately 1,300 low- income families to acquire and
maintain affordable housing through rental and ownership programs. Rental
assistance includes the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher and Public Housing
Programs. Homeownership opportunities exist under the Tenant -to -Owner
Program, Affordable Dream Homeownership Program, and the Section 8
Homeownership Program. Participation in all programs requires the family be
within federally established income guidelines.
The Housing Authority works with approximately 450 landlords. There are
approximately 1214 vouchers with a total Housing Assistance Payments (HAP)
contract in excess of $6 million to landlords within the Housing Authority jurisdiction. In
addition, the City of Iowa City owns 81 public housing units; the Housing Authority
serves as the landlord and rents these units to eligible tenants. They are low- density
units scattered throughout Iowa City and were constructed to conform and blend into
the existing neighborhood architecture.
290-
The Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) develops policy,
regulations, and other guidance that interprets housing legislation. HUD allocations
account for 100% of the Housing Authority's operating budget.
• Maintain lease -up rates in both the HCV and Public Housing programs.
• Maintain involvement with the National Association of Housing and Rehabilitation
Officials (NAHRO), Public Housing Authorities Directors Association (PHADA), to
ensure that federal funding continues to fully support the Housing Choice Voucher,
Public Housing, and Family Self- Sufficiency Programs.
• Maintain national criminal background checks through the Iowa Department of
Criminal Investigation (DCI) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
• Promote Housing Authority Mission, Priorities, and Goals and educate the general
public on the administration of federal housing programs.
• Seize opportunities to reduce waiting list and serve eligible families while
maintaining HUD required staff /tenant caseload ratios.
• Continue Good Neighbors — Strong Neighborhoods initiative and partnership with
Neighborhood Services and Neighborhood Associations.
• Continue working with Mediation Services and the 6 "' Judicial District on our
"Family Council" approach to dealing with youth engaging in criminal activity that
mayjeopardize housing assistance.
• Maintain partnership with Iowa Area Association of Realtors working together on
homebuyer education projects and affordable homeownership new construction
projects.
• Utilize public and private forums to dispel myths and stereotypes about the
households that need affordable housing.
• Continue exploration of implementing direct deposit of landlord /owner HAP with the
Finance Department.
• Maintain a lease -up rate for the Peninsula Apartments.
