BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Southgate Development Company, is requesting approval of a preliminary and final
plat for the re-subdivision of Pepperwood Plaza, located south of Highway 6, east of Keokuk
Street, and west of Broadway Street. Pepperwood Plaza was established in 1986 as a large
commercial center for the south side of Iowa City, In 2003, it was designated as a Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) District.
ANALYSIS:
This is a relatively minor subdivision as all utilities are readily available, and no new streets will be
constructed. The plats generally comply with the Subdivision Regulations and the Comprehensive
Plan, which calls for the area to continue as general commercial.
Lots 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 9 contain existing structures. Lots 3, 5, 8, and 10 are currently vacant or
contain parking spaces. The applicant intends to develop these in the future.
Zoning Requirements
Pepperwood Plaza is zoned Community Commercial (CC-2). The CC-2 zone is designed to
identify locations suitable for major commercial districts that will provide service to a significant
segment of the total community population. These commercial districts are occupied by high
traffic-generating commercial retail uses, which require a location along major arterials such as
Highway 6. The proposed re-subdivision would not detract from the CC-2 nature of the current
uses or the location of the plaza.
No minimum lot requirements exist within the CC-2 zone. However, structures within the CC-2
zone must adhere to a ten foot setback from a public street. All lots to which the setback would
apply satisfy this requirement.
Parking
Due to the plaza's sales-oriented make-up, the shared parking requirement is one vehicle parking
space per 250 square feet of floor area. Most of the parking will be provided on Outlot A and
shared by the adjacent lots. Outlot A is the largest lot at 10.15 total acres. It is to be commonly
owned and used for vehicular access as well as parking. The outlot includes all access points to
the plaza including Highway 6, Keokuk Street, Pepperwood Lane (a private drive), Cross Park
Drive, and Broadway Street entrances. Legal papers will need to address access easements,
utility easements, maintenance of Outlot A, and the common parking arrangement.
Traffic implications
As previously noted, no new streets will be constructed as part of this subdivision. In that
regard, traffic implications are not a concern. Current access and street design standards are
adequate for a CC-2 type node such as Pepperwood. The subdivision must also comply with
commercial site development standards, which require new subdivisions to have pedestrian
walkways connecting principal buildings. A pedestrian walkway system is identified on the
preliminary plat. Upon site plan review, the applicant will need to address pedestrian access to
lots 3 and 5.
Storm water management
Much of the development predates the Iowa City Stormwater Ordinance, however, stormwater
run-off is still managed. Run-off is collected by a storm sewer that drains into the Highway 6
system which conveys the stormwater to the Iowa River.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends deferral of this item until the deficiencies and discrepancies listed below are
resolved.
Upon resolution of the deficiencies and discrepancies, staff recommends that SUB06-00018, a
preliminary plat for Pepperwood Plaza and SUS06-00019, a final plat for Pepperwood Plaza, an
11-lot, 23.33-acre subdivision and, be approved subject to staff approval of legal papers prior to
Council consideration.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. Sanitary sewer and easement between lots 4 and 6 should be corrected per Braverman
Center subdivision.
2. Conflict between storm sewer and sanitary manhole north of lot 5 should be corrected
3. Spelling should be corrected on note that appears east of lot 6

The Public Art Program of
the City of Iowa City was
established in September
1997. The intention of the
Public Art Program is to
enhance public spaces,
promote Iowa City as a
cultural center, and build
Iowa City's image as a vital
place to live and work. This
will be accomplished by the
integration and placement
of art in public projects and
places. The Public Art
Program is supported by an
allocation of $50,000 of
public funds per fiscal year.
A Public Art Advisory
Committee has been
appointed to assist in the
development and
management of this
program.
The mission of the Public
Art Advisory Committee, as
stewards of the City of Iowa
City, is to enhance the
appearance of the city
through the selection and
integration of art in a public
environment.

Iowa City Public Art Program
Project Opportunity
Background and Site Description
The City of Iowa City recently completed a renovation of its recreation center, part of
which included enhancing the pool area to provide more natural light. As a
consequence the interior of the pool area is also more visible to the public as they pass
by the recreation center. The center sits at the intersection of two arterials streets that
serve downtown Iowa City. This enhanced visibility provides an opportunity for a public
art project that could include a painting on the wall, a mural, a mosaic and/or a wall
sculpture.
The wall that will act as the canvas for this work is 104' long and 20' in height. The 8
foot wide pool deck slopes gently from the wall to the pool, providing a work area to
complete the project. The wall is not only visible within the pool area and from the
street, but also from the lobby area of the recreation center.
~
'.:Ji
Design Considerations/Project Goals
. To provide an eye-catching and stimulating work suited to a wide variety of
age groups who use the pool and who pass by the center and the wall.
. To add to the visual appeal of the pool area and the recreation center
generally.
. To provide a work that requires minimal maintenance.
. To fill the space of the entire wall.

MEMORANDUM
Date: May 3, 2007
To: City Council
From: Tracy Hightshoe, Associate Planner
Re: Habitat Request to Amend Financial Terms and Budget for FY07 Homeownership
Project
In 2006, Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity was awarded $220,000 in FY07 CDBG and HOME
funds for land acquisition. On March 2, 2007 Habitat requested to amend the financial terms
and budget for this project. The initial Habitat application requested funds for the acquisition of
four lots to be placed in a community land trust to ensure permanent affordability. Based on
the financial investment policy for FY07 funds, homeownership projects placed in a land trust
were provided a grant.
Habitat has identified six lots for $168,000 in the Whispering Meadows subdivision. Council
reviewed and approved this location on February 20, 2007. Habitat requests that the remaining
$52,000 of the award be used for construction, including garages, and landscaping costs.
Habitat also requests that the City place a silent mortgage on each lot to be repaid by the
homeowner at the time the lot is sold, title transferred, conversion to rental or move out. Since
this request is a change in scope and requests different financial terms then what was allowed
in FY07, the request must be reviewed and approved by the Council.
The Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) reviewed this request at their
April 19, 2007 meeting and recommended approval. The City has used a variety of financial
terms for previous homeownership projects including, but not limited to, conditional occupancy
loans (repaid upon sale), grants, land trust, low-interest loans and forgivable loans.
If you have any questions about the proposed request, please feel free to contact me at
356.5244 or at tracy-hightshoe@iowa-city.org.

excess of twelve (12) hours per day or forty (40) hours per week.
rngr\asst\unions\afscmelJoc183ag.doc

Prior authorization from the employee's supervisor is required before overtime work will be
credited. Employees may be periodically required to work overtime but may request not to
perform work because of physical inability or serious personal need. Such requests to be
excused from performing overtime will not be unreasonably denied.
For permanent full-time employees, work performed on the sixth (6th) or seventh (7th) day
of the work week shall be considered overtime.
There will be no pyramiding of overtime:
e.g., If an employee is called back to work on Saturday he/she may claim the overtime rate
either for the minimal call-in OR the sixth (6th) day premium, not for both sections.
Overtime will be compensated at the rate of one and one-half (1-112) times the current
base hourly rate of the employees or by compensatory time off at the rate of one and one-half (1-
1/2) hours for each hour of overtime worked. Employee preference will determine whether
overtime is paid or time off given unless departmental staffing needs or financial considerations
require employees to be paid or given time off. The employees may request reasons for the
denial of the time off or pay.
Section 2. Overtime Equalization.
A. To the greatest extent possible, overtime shall be offered to employees equally over a
period of three (3) months, considering the type of work, the qualifications and ability of the
individual employee, the employee's desire to perform the overtime service, and the
employee's seniority. The following procedure will generally be used:
The employee with the necessary qualifications and abilities and the least number
of overtime hours in that classification will be first offered such assignment. In the
event that overtime hours among employees in that classification are equal,
seniority shall prevail. In the event no qualified employee desires such work, the
City shall select the qualified employee with the least credited overtime hours for
such assignment and if there are two or more employees with the same number of
overtime hours, the employee with the least seniority shall be thus assigned.
Employees who refuse overtime work on a particular job will be charged the same
number of hours as employees who actually do the work. Any employee who may be
periodically excused from overtime work for physical disability or serious personal need
shall carry an amount of overtime equal to that of the employee with the highest number of
hours.
When the need arises to work overtime to finish a job, the employees who are
performing the work may be offered the overtime first if the work is to be completed. If an
affected employee elects not to work overtime, he/she will be expected to continue until a
replacement is secured.
During emergency situations such as, but not limited to, excessive snow, freezing
rain, wind, rain or cold, employees in the affected divisions may be scheduled to work
twelve (12) hours or more in any twenty-four (24) hour period. Work in excess of twelve
(12) hours will be assigned according to the equalization procedure.
The equalization procedure is inapplicable to regularly scheduled overtime in
transit.

B. Distribution of extra hours in the Transit Division. For hours available after the "Extra
Board" hours have been assigned, to the greatest extent possible, extra hours shall be
offered to employees equally over each run pick period. The employer may first offer the
hours by seniority to part-time employees who have worked less than 40 hours that week.
After that it will be offered to employees by seniority if scheduling time allows. For
equalization purposes, employees who refuse extra hours will be charged the same
number of hours as were offered. The City shall maintain and post a list of extra hours
worked in the Transit Division.
C. The City shall maintain and post (at least monthly) in a public place in the work area, a list
of classifications showing overtime hours worked by each employee, and shall keep such
list current with accumulated overtime being credited forward. Overtime accumulation
shall commence on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year and shall be

place but is sent home by the supervisor because of an emergency because work cannot be

time pay. The City will make every effort to allow the employee to make up the work at straight
time at a different time, where the nature of work permits.

normal schedules on their time sheets. A professional employee may meet with his/her

c. A joint City-Union committee will administer the use of Sick Bank days by
employees. The committee will be made up of one Union representative, one City
representative and one person chosen by the two representatives. The Bank
Administration Committee will determine when sick leave may be used, application
procedures, the length of time which any employee may borrow, the length of the
waiting period after exhaustion of siclk leave before employees may borrow time,
amount of time before which days must be paid back, and other criteria for using
Bank days.
The Committee is charged with maintaining the integrity of the Bank for
serious or catastrophic illness of individuals in the bargaining unit and will develop
policies to protect against abuse by individuals.
d. The City will contribute thirty (30) days of sick leave to the Bank October 1,1976.
No individual may use more than ten (10) days during the term of this Agreement.
Section 5. Employees using sick leave who are medically able to perform some of the
regular duties of their position while at home (or alternative work site) may, at the request of the
employee or the supervisor, and with the permission of the supervisor, be assigned work to be
performed at home.
For work performed at home, regular pay rather than use of sick leave accrual will be
utilized, and the ratio of sick leave to straight pay will be determined on a case-by-case basis by
the supervisor.
This policy is designed to permit credit for work performed at home by employees using
sick leave, when performance of work at home is advantageous to the City; however, no
employee will be required to perform work while on siclk leave nor will any employee be
guaranteed the right to do so.

Section 6. While an employee is receiving sick leave pay from the City, self-employment
for payor work for another employer for pay is expressly forbidden. A waiver of this provision
may be given if the employee presents evidence from his/her physician to the City that the
employee's medical disability would preclude fulfillment of the employee's duties with the .city, but
that the nature of the disability would permit work at alternative outside employment. Failure to
comply with this policy will result in progressive disciplinary action.

or other accumulated leaves to supplement worker's compensation benefits.

exam by a city-paid and appointed doctor (if required by the employer). Generally, such leave
shall not exceed twelve (12) months. Upon termination of any such leave of absence, the
employee shall return to work in the same range and step as when he/she left and will receive
compensation on the same basis as if he/she had continued to work at his/her regular position
without leave, provided that during that period if the nature of operations has changed so that
similar work does not exist or that an opening for the employee no longer exists, the employee
shall be eligible to bid on vacancies in related areas or vacancies for which the employee is
otherwise qualified for a period of twelve (12) months following termination of the leave. The

excess of ten working days and insurance coverage is desired, the
. employee must pay 1/12 of the insurance premium for each working day
beyond ten working days that the employee is on unpaid leave of absence.
The remainder of the premium will be paid for by the City.
3. The employee may choose which insurance coverages, if any, are to be
retained during the unpaid leave of absence.
4. Payment for insurance coverages desired by the employee may be
deducted from current or future pay due to the employee or at the

deducted from the employee's pay.
The Department Director may waive the above conditions (a. through e.) for leaves of
absence not exceeding ten (10) working days.

SENIORITY
Section 1. Seniority shall mean length of continuous service with the City. It shall begin
on the date of employment and become applicable immediately following completion of a
probationary period of not more than six (6) months in a permanent position, unless extended in
writing due to unusual circumstances. Continuous service in a temporary position shall be added
to the employee's seniority for use only in Section 3, Use of Seniority, below.
An employee will lose seniority rights upon resignation, discharge for just cause,
retirement, death, or layoff for more than two (2) years.
Seniority shall accrue during all paid leaves and during periods which a member is
assigned a classification outside of the bargaining unit. If an employee is on leave of absence
without pay as a result of temporary disability as substantiated by a doctor's certificate or for on-
the-job injury, seniority will accrue indefinitely. An employee will accrue seniority while on leave
without payor layoff for one (1) year or for a period equal to the length of time worked if less than
one year.
In the event that two (2) or more employees have an identical seniority date, the order of
their seniority shall be determined by the alphabetical order of last names.
The City will maintain a seniority list showing the length of continuous service and will
make a copy of the list available to the Union each six (6) months.
mgr\assl\unionslafscme\Joc1 B3ag.doc
17
Section 2. Probation. The initial probation period for permanent appointments will be six
(6) continuous months.
The probationary period may be extended in writing because of unusual circumstances.
Probationary employees are entitled to all benefits of this contract with two exceptions:
1. They may not grieve any disciplinary actions taken against them.
2. They may not bid on other jobs (except for promotions).
If an employee has worked as a temporary City employee prior to appointment to a similar
permanent position, the temporary time worked may be credited toward completion of probation if
it is applicable experience.
For such employees, the probationary period will be shortened to reflect credit for
temporary time worked. The length of probation will be specified in writing in the permanent
appointment papers.
Section 3. Use of Seniority. An employee who has successfully compieted an initial City
probation period of six months may exercise seniority as follows:
a. Transfer Procedures. Except in the case of emergency circumstances, a notice
which describes the position for permanent job openings will be posted on
administrative and departmental bulletin boards for not less than five (5) working
days. During this period, employees who wish to apply for the position may do so.
The City will provide a written form for application which must be received in the
Personnel Office by 5:00 P.M. on the day stated on the notice as the closing date,
If current or laid off employees are qualified for the position he/she may compete
with other employee applicants for the position.
Step I. If qualifications including skills, abilities, and experience of the applicants
are relatively equal, the employee with the greatest seniority will be offered the job
first, except as provided in Section 3, subsection b.2.(a) of this Article.
Step II. If the qualifications of current employees are marginal but equal to outside
applicants they will be offered the position if it is to be filled, subject to the further
provisions of Section 3, subsection b.2.(b) of this Article.
If an employee feels that seniority has been ignored by the City, he/she may request the
reason for his/her rejection for the position in writing, and the written reasons will be given.
b. Reduction in Force. Reductions in force will be by departmental division according
to seniority in the jobs affected with the person having the least seniority within
classification to be laid off first. The City will give fifteen (15) days notice to
employees who are to be laid off except in an emergency. Temporary, casual and
seasonal employees within classification (e.g. those job titles listed in Appendix A)
will be laid off prior to permanent employees. The City will consult with the Union
as far in advance as possible prior to a contemplated layoff in order to provide the
most equitable treatment to employees who are to be laid off.
1. The City will attempt to accomplish reduction in force by attrition.
mgl'\asst\uniOlls'afscme\loc1B3ag.doc 18
2. An employee whose job is to be eliminated may be transferred to
vacancies within the department.
Employees notified of lay-off or who are subject to recall from lay-off
under Section 3, Subsection c. of this Article shall be given the opportunity
to bid for new or vacant non-promotional positions to be filled by the City as
follows:
(a) When competing with other bargaining unit employees, a laid-off
employee will be offered the job first where qualifications, including
skills, abilities and experience of the applicants are relatively equal
without regard to seniority.
(b) When competing with applicants who are not employees of the City,
laid-off employees shall be offered the job first where the City deter-
mines the laid-off employee has the abilities to adequately perform
the job under normal supervision.
3. If no vacancies exist a more senior employee being laid off shall bump the
employee with the least seniority in their classification within their
department; but, if no such person or position exists, the laid-off employee
may bump the least senior employee in a position within their classification
in the bargaining unit. If no such person or position exists within the
bargaining unit, a laid-off employee may bump the least senior employee in
a job outside their classification within their department and, if no such
person or job exists, then the bargaining unit.
Provided, however, an employee shall not bump into a job without
seniority, proper credentials (including prior recorded experience in the job
with the City; except where a laid-off employee was placed in the job out of
promotional sequence in the clerical, maintenance worker, plant operator,
mechanic, librarian, dispatcher, planner/program analyst and construction
inspector series), and the ability to perform the duties of the job under
normal supervision. A person shall first bump into the highest classification
which also meets the preceding conditions.
Bumping shall not result in any promotion. In no event shall a full-
time employee be forced to bump the least senior employee when it would
result in decreased hours of work or shall part-time employees bump into
full-time positions unless their total seniority is greater based on a
comparison of computation of time actually worked.
c. Recall from Lavoff. The names of permanent employees laid off shall be placed
on a re-employment list for the jobs affected in the layoff. Such persons shall be
eligible for re-employment in reverse order of layoff in the job from which they were
removed for a period of two (2) years, provided that they are still qualified and able
to perform the job. Employees may apply for vacancies in the City in titles other
than those affected by the layoff during the period that they are on the recall list
while maintaining their option to return to the job from which they were laid off.
When an employee is notified by certified mail to last known address to
return to work, he/she must make arrangements to retum to work with the
immediate supervisor within seven (7) days or be removed from the recall list. An
employee on the recall list will accrue seniority pursuant to Section 1 of this article
and will be entitled to exercise seniority accrued prior to layoff after their return to
work.
mgr\asst\unionslafscmelJoc183ag.doc

d. Preferred Shift.' Employees may use seniority to bid on a preferred shift or transit
run provided a vacancy exists. Employees currently within the classification in .
which the vacancy has occurred will first be given the option to bid prior to the
vacant hours being posted for other City employees. The use of seniority in library
scheduling, if any, will be the subject of a separate letter to be negotiated at a later
date.
Section 4. Trial Period.
A. Emplovee Option. A transferred employee shall be granted up to ten (10) days to
determine if he/she wants to continue in the position to which he/she voluntarily
transferred. If during the option period the employee desires to do so, he/she may return
to the previous position.
B. City Option. The length of the trial period for a person who is transferring to another
position within the City will be adapted to the type of job, length of City employment and
similarity to previous jobs, but will not be longer than forty (40) working days except by
agreement between the City and the Union. A transferred employee agrees not to initiate
another transfer for six (6) months. This limitation on voluntary transfers does not apply to
promotions. If the employee's performance is unsatisfactory at the end of the trial period,
they may return to their previous position or a similar vacancy.
Section 5. Compensation after Transfer. When an employee transfers to another position
within the same or a lower range he/she shall move to a step and rate of pay within the range of
the position transferred to with pay to be determined on the basis of relative skills, abilities,
experience and seniority. When an employee transfers to a higher range his/her pay shall fall
within that range and in no event will be less than the equivalent of a one step increase based on
their pay prior to the transfer.
Section 6. Transit Seniority. In the event two or more transit drivers have identical
seniority dates, the order of seniority for selecting transit runs shall be determined by lot.
ARTICLE 14

ARTICLE 19
RECOVERY AND REHABILITATION PROGRAM
Section 1. Voluntarv Referral Service. The City will provide where possible a voluntary
referral service for employees with personal problems. Employees who suspect they may have a
work problem even in the early stages are encouraged to seek treatment or counseling. All such
requests and/or referrals in Section 3 for service will be treated in a confidential manner. Every
attempt will be made to assist employees in obtaining needed services if they voluntarily request
such assistance.
Section 2. Problem Drinkinq. In the interest of providing efficient services to the public the
City recognizes that employee alcoholism can and should be treated. Educational materials on
problem drinking may be requested from the Human Relations office. All bargaining unit
employees are eligible for treatment and rehabilitation for alcoholism or problem drinking through
the City's referral service and other available community resources. Alcoholism as an illness is
not a cause for discipline per se; however, interference with job performance may be subject to
discipline. Every attempt will be made by the City and the Union to assist employees with drinking
problems to obtain needed assistance. Rehabilitation assistance will be offered, but if job
performance is not raised to an acceptable level, disciplinary action will be taken.
Section 3. Procedure. Supervisors who identify work problems or stewards who identify
personal problems may refer employees to the Human Relations office for assistance in obtaining
educational and rehabilitation services for alcoholism or other personal problems which influence
performance. Nothing in this section relieves employees of responsibility for their conduct on the
job.
ARTICLE 20
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Section 1. Definitions. The word "grievance" wherever used in this Agreement shall mean
any dispute between the City and the Union or any employee with regard to the meaning,
application, or violation of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The word "working
day" shall be defined as any day except Saturday and Sunday and holidays listed in Article 9,
Section 1, excluding the personal leave day, for purposes of this section.

Section 2. Representation. An employee who is a member of the bargaining unit covered
by this Agreement shall have the right to be represented by a steward at any grievance hearing or
at any step of the grievance procedure, if he/she chooses. Employees are also entitled to
representation by a steward at disciplinary conferences. Stewards will not attend other
conferences between supervisors and employees except with the supervisor's approval.
The Union will certify the names and addresses of the designated stewards to the City
Personnel Administrator. In the absence of such certification the City will not be obligated under
this Article to release any employee from duty for the purposes of investigating a grievance or
representing another employee in any disciplinary or grievance proceeding.
The City will compensate not more than one employee steward for the investigation of a
grievance. If a second City employee has a special office in the Union handling grievances, that
employee may request released time from his/her supervisor, and permission to work on the
grievance will not be unreasonably withheld, but the City will not provide compensation for time
spent. Any stewards who are City employees shall be released from work for not more than two
(2) hours in one work week to work on grievance resolution. The employee will obtain permission
from the immediate supervisor before investigating the grievance, but such permission will not be
unreasonably withheld. Released time under this section is limited to grievance resolution.
Notwithstanding any of the above, the Union President shall be released from work without loss of
pay for a reasonable amount of time during any work week to work on grievance resolution.
Supervisors and stewards agree to handle discipline and grievances with discretion.
Section 3. Limitations. Unless a grievance is appealed as hereinafter provided, it shall
have no further validity or effect. Time limits may be extended by mutual agreement of the
parties. Any monetary award or compensation arising out of the resolution of a grievance is
limited to the period of time sixty (60) days prior to the filing of the grievance regardless of the
length of the practice giving rise to the grievance or the employee's lack of knowledge thereof.
The following provisions will apply to interpretation of the above language:
1. Pay corrections in matters involving inaccuracies in payment of base pay and merit
increases or inaccuracies created by data entry or other Accounting Division error
will be made retroactive to the date of the error, which may be greater than sixty
(60) days.
2. Any other type of payment error will be subject to the 60 day limitation on
retroactive pay as outlined in Article 20.
Section 4. Procedures. A grievance that may arise shall be processed and settled in the
following manner:
A. Step 1. The grievance shall be presented orally for discussion between the employee
grievant, the steward if the employee chooses to be represented by a steward, and the
employee's immediate supervisor within seven (7) working days after the knowledge of the
event giving rise to the grievance. The supervisor shall deliver the answer verbally to the
aggrieved employee or steward within seven (7) working days after the Step 1 conference.
The date of the oral presentation of the grievance and the date of the verbal response
shall be certified in writing. If no response is received from the supervisor within seven (7)
working days the grievance will be processed pursuant to Step 2.

D. Arbitration. Grievances not resolved at Step 3 of the Grievance Procedure may be
submitted to a third party for arbitration. A request for arbitration must be submitted by
written notice to the other party within ten (10) working days following receipt of the City
Manager's decision at Step 3. Copies of any such request will be furnished to the City and
to the Union.
The cost of arbitration and recording the same shall be divided equally between
the parties to this Agreement. The cost of a certified court report, if requested by the
arbitrator, shall be divided equally between the parties. Each party will pay for the cost of
its own case preparation and for expenses of witnesses.
The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted by an arbitrator to be selected by
the City and the Union within five (5) working days after notice has been given. If the

The parties of the grievance, their witnesses and representatives shall have the
right to be present at the grievance arbitration in addition to the arbitrator. Other persons
may be present at arbitration hearings as the parties may mutually agree. Either party
shall have the right to record the evidence presented at the arbitration hearing. Arbitration
hearings shall be closed to the public and evidence taken shall not be revealed to any third
party until such time as the decision of the arbitrator is made unless parties agree
otherwise.
Section 5. Labor-Manaqement Committee. The Labor-Management Committee shall
consist of the persons designated by the Union and the City. Not more than four (4) bargaining
unit employees may be excused to attend meetings held during working hours. Representatives

Section 5. Rules
1. All decisions of the Committee, except where otherwise noted, will be considered to be
passed upon a simple majority of its members, which shall constitute a quorum.
2. In the event that the Committee is unable to achieve simple majority approval of any
specific classification or compensation decision, classification or compensation of the
position in question will remain unchanged.
3. A management committee member may vote in place of any absent Management
Committee members. A Union committee member may vote in place of any absent Union
member.

4. The Classification Review Committee may waive, modify or amend any of the sections of
this article as specified, upon unanimous vote of the Committee. The Committee shall
determine all other necessary operating rules and procedures.
5. No new pay range or classification adjustments will be made without approval of the
Committee.
Section 6. Classification Reviews
1. Employees will be informed of the procedures for requesting a review of the classification
of their position; provided, however, no reviews shall be conducted for one year following
initial implementation of the study.
2. An employee may only request a review of his/her own position. Requests may also be

steps in the salary range), if salary will fall on or below the maximum of the new
range.
Section 9. Labor Market Adiustments
1. Salary information will not be considered in the classification of a position.
2. Compensation of a position may be appealed by the affected employee, or group of
employees, to the Committee utilizing the procedure in Section 6.
3. In the event that salary maximum of a position is shown to be under-paid by at least 15
percent (15%) based on relative comparable positions in other cities (provided a minimum
of four cities report comparable positions), the Classification Review Committee may vote
to temporarily assign the position to a newly created salary range. If less than four cities
report comparable positions, the newly created salary range increases shall not exceed 15
percent (15%). Special grade assignments will expire at the end of every fiscal year.

and is itself experimental. This procedure shall be used to determine classification review
requests during FY06-FY10 and then will be continued in effect thereafter only by mutual
agreement of the parties.

APPENDIX E
CONTRACT SIDE LETTER ON LIBRARY SCHEDULING
After staffing needs for public service areas have been determined by each department,
permanent schedules for these areas will be bid on three times annually to be effective January 1
to May 30, June 1 to August 31, and September 1 to December 31.
Beginning with the Summer 2007 scheduling period, each department with an evening rotation
will identify, by seniority, any staff in that rotation who prefer to work a 5:00-8:00 shift on Friday
evening. If all Friday evening shifts are filled, scheduling for weekend and nights will proceed as
below with the exception that persons who have chosen to work Friday evenings are not eligible
to opt out of evening work. Any Friday evening shifts not filled in this manner will be scheduled as
a weekend rotation as indicated below.
Seniority will be used for the purpose of allowing employees to choose those weekends, those
nights and those 9-6 shifts that they do not wish to work. Each schedule period the senior
employee in each participating department will indicate those nights, weekends, and 9-6 shifts
they do not wish to work. The second senior person will choose next, etc. Each employee will
work a similar number of weekends, evenings and 9-6 shifts during the schedule period. If
supervisors participate in evenings, weekend and 9-6 shift work on a regular basis, their seniority
will be used to decide their place in the selection process.
In the event that the Library staffing needs can be met without the necessity of scheduling all
employees for a regular night or 9-6 shift, the senior employee who has not rejected night or 9-6
shift work for a previous schedule period shall have first choice in tuming down night or 9-6 shift
work for the next schedule period. When all employees have been offered the first choice, then
the first choice reverts back to the senior most employee.
Employees will be allowed to trade work periods with the approval of the department head.
In the event an employee desires weekend, evening or 9-6 shift work that employee will be given
preference for that work provided it meets the needs of the department.
There shall be no regular split shifts except by the agreement of the employee involved.

AMENDMENTS TO CONTRACT SIDE LETTER ON LIBRARY SCHEDULING
Library employees may request to work 6 partial days; for example, one-half day on Saturday and
one-half day on Monday, where staffing permits. The basis to determine adequate staffing will be
enough people within one department electing the option to make it viable. For permanent full-
time library employees who elect this option, work performed on the 7th day of the work week
shall be considered overtime.
Library employees working scheduled overtime on Sunday will have the option at the beginning of
each permanent scheduling period to designate whether the time will be taken as compensatory
time, or paid, at the rate of one and one half hours for each hour worked. Compensatory time off
can be changed through mutual agreement at the same time and in the same manner as other
scheduling or leave changes.
Employees who wish to change their option of payor time compensation within a scheduling
period may submit a request to their supervisor in the same manner as other scheduling and
leave changes. The Library will honor requests of this nature whenever staffing and financial
resources permit, with the understanding on both sides that no reasonable request will be
unreasonably denied.

AMENDMENTS TO CONTRACT SIDE LETTER ON LIBRARY SCHEDULING
Beginning with the fall 2001 Library scheduling period, such periods will be bid on three times annually
effective the first Saturday after New Year's Day, the first Saturday on or after May I", and the first
Saturday after Labor Day.
The second paragraph of the November 27, 1978 Contract Side Letter on Library Scheduling is amended
to clarify that the selection list to determine who works an evening in a scheduling period will be routed
starting with the person on the list after the last person to make a choice in the previous schedule period.
To maintain seniority advantage, new employees will be added at the bottom of the list when it is routed
for the next schedule period after their hire. As a result, although the lists will originally be in seniority
order, they may fall out of exact seniority order over time due to employee turnover.
In accordance with Article 9, Section 6, when the Library is operating and open on City approved
holidays, schedules will be selected as follows:
The selection list for holiday shifts given compensatory time will be routed starting with the person
on the list after the last person to make a choice in the previous schedule period. New employees
will be added at the bottom of the list when it is routed for the next schedule period after their hire.
During the departmental routing of the selection list of holiday shifts given compensatory time,
part-time employees will select one shift before passing the list while full-time employees will
select two. If not all shifts are filled after each employee has made their selection(s), the list will
be routed again starting at the top of the list. No part-time employee may be required to work
more than one shift per holiday. Conflicts will be resolved by the department manager and the
affected employees.
The selection list for paid holidays routes in seniority order. During its routing employees may
select only one shift. If not all shifts are filled after the initial routing is complete, the list will be
routed once again until all shifts are filled. If after re-routing all shifts are not filled, the manager
will assign shifts in reverse seniority order. No employee may select nor be assigned more than
one shift per paid holiday.
Schedule period packets will include an opportunity for those who wish to accept extra Sundays to be
identified. After Sunday shifts have been distributed equally, managers will distribute any extra Sunday
shifts to those requesting additional ones. If no staff member accepts an extra shift, they will be
distributed to departmental permanent. staff in the Sunday rotation on a fair and impartial basis. In
addition, staff may relinquish up to one additional Sunday shift per schedule period, if the department
head determines that staff are available to accept such additional shifts. Extra shifts chosen through this
voluntary process are available for pay only. Employees cannot regain their shift after it has been
reassigned.

SIDE LETTER OF AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF IOWA CITY
AND AFSCME LOCAL #183
JULY 1, 2007
The parties agree as follows:
The job classifications recommended for an upgrade as a result of the
classification study will move to the new paygrade effective June 30, 2007. Employees in those
classifications will move to the new paygrade on that date.
Employees at step 6 longer than 12 months as of June 30, 2007, will receive an
increase equal to 3.5% in addition to the across-the-board increase of 3.25%, provided that no
employee will receive a wage rate that is lower than Step 1 or higher than Step 6 of the new
paygrade. Thereafter, employees previously at step 6 will have a new eligibility date which will be
the first day of each fiscal year.
If an employee was placed on Step 1 or between steps 1 and 2 of the new
paygrade, they will be eligible for a review and increase on the earlier of their current annual
evaluation date or a new annual evaluation date of January 1. These employees will be eligible
for the greater of 3.5% or step 2 at that time.
Following implementation of the study, for employees above step 2 but between
steps, future step increases will be equal to the % difference between the next lower and the next
higher step. No employee will have a wage rate higher than step 6.
Employees currently (as of June 29, 2007) in positions being downgraded will be
treated as if their classification has not been changed. They will continue to receive all negotiated
across-the-board increases, as well as step increases where applicable, as long as they remain
as an employee of the City in their current position.
Positions being downgraded are as follows:
