MEMORANDUM
TO: Steve Atkins, City Manager
FROM: Tim Hermes, Senior Building Inspector--'~
DATE: August 9, 2002
RE: Fee Increases
I have spent some time studying our current fee schedule and comparing the
fees we charge with those charged by surrounding jurisdictions. As you can see
by the attached chart, our permit fees are currently considerable lower than all
the compared cities. In view of that fact I am proposing that we increase our
permit and licensing fees. The proposed increases involves some restructuring
designed to simplify the computation of some of the fees and also includes the
new licensing fees for fire alarm and sprinkler installers. This makes the overall
increase difficult to calculate but it appears to average 37%. While this increase
appears somewhat high, it still leaves us under all but one of the compared
jurisdictions. The sum total of all permit fees for a new home still remains below
1% of the value of the house. Most of the fee increases are derived by
increasing fees 3% a year for 9 years and then rounding to the nearest dollar for
fees below $5 and to the nears five dollars for the others. The four-year average
revenue generated by fees collected in the Building Inspection Division is
$592,000. I estimate an increase in revenue to be close to the 37% average fee
increase.
The fee restructuring consists of charging flat fees on plumbing, electrical and
mechanical work for one- and two-family dwellings as well as townhouses. This
will require the applicant to name the contractors that are required to be licensed
on the building permit application and pay the fees for those trades. Therefore,
instead of issuing five permits we are only issuing one while still being assured
the required licensed contractors are perl:orming the work. This will benefit the
contractors by assuring them all the required permits are issued for their project
and benefits their subcontractors by not requiring them to apply for and obtain
permits. This new fee structure will hold true for all permits issued for work
performed under the International Residential Code whether it is new
construction, remodeling or additions.

furnish proof of the payment of premiums on) insurance as follows:
(i) Insurance against loss and/or damage to the Minimum Improvements
under a policy or policies covering such risks as are ordinarily insured through property
policies against by similar businesses, including (without limitation the generality of the
foregoing) fire, extended coverage, vandalism and malicious mischief, explosion, water
damage, demolition cost, debris removal, and collapse in an amount not less than the full
insurable replacement value of the Minimum Improvements, but any such policy may

by the preceding sentence, by reason of co-insurance provisions or otherwise, without the
prior consent thereto in writing by the City. The term "full insurable replacement value"
shall mean the actual replacement cost of the Minimum Improvements (excluding
foundation and excavation costs and costs of underground flues, pipes, drains and other

liability for worker's compensation.
-8-
(h) All insurance required by this Article V to be provided prior to the
Termination Date shall be taken out and maintained in responsible insurance companies
selected by the Developer which are authorized under the laws of the State to assume the
risks covered thereby. The Developer will deposit annually with the City copies of
policies evidencing all such insurance, or a certificate or certificates or binders of the
respective insurers stating that such insurance is in force and effect. Unless otherwise
provided in this Article V, each policy shall contain a provision that the insurer shall not
cancel or modify it without giving written notice to the Developer and the City at least
thirty (30) days before the cancellation or modification becomes effective. Not less than
fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any policy, the Developer shall furnish the City
evidence satisfactory to the City that the policy has been renewed or replaced by another
policy conforming to the provisions of this Article V, or that there is no necessity therefor
under the terms hereof. In lieu of separate policies, the Developer may maintain a single
policy, or blanket or umbrella policies, or a combination thereof, which provide the total
coverage required herein, in which event the Developer shall deposit with the City a
certificate or certificates of the respective insurers as to the amount of coverage in force
upon the Minimum Improvements.
(c) The Developer agrees to notify the City immediately in the case of damage
exceeding $25,000 in amount to, or destruction of, the Minimum Improvements or any
portion thereof resulting from fire or other casualty. Net Proceeds of any such insurance

ARTICLE VIII. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANTS
Section 8.1. Economic Development Grants. (a) For and in consideration of the
obligations being assumed by the Developer hereunder, and in furtherance of the goals
and objectives of the Urban Renewal Plan for the Project Area and the Urban Renewal
Act, the City agrees, subject to the Developer having received a Certificate of Completion
and being and remaining in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and to the terms
-11-
of this Article VIII, to assume an obligation to make up to seven (7) consecutive annual
payments to the Developer commencing on June 1, 2006 and ending on June 1, 2012,
pursuant to Section 403.9 of the Urban Renewal Act, equal in amounts to one hundred
percent (100%) per fiscal year of the Tax Increments collected by the City with respect to
the Minimum Improvements on Development Property under the terms of the Ordinance
(without regard to any averaging that may otherwise be utilized under Section 403.19(6)
and excluding any interest that may accrue thereon prior to payment to the Developer)
during the preceding twelve-month period in respect of the Development Property and the
Minimum Improvements, but subject to adjustment and conditions precedent as provided
in this Article (such payments being referred to collectively as the "Economic
Development Grants").
(b) The obligation of the City to make an Economic Development Grant to the
Developer in any year as specified above shall be subject to and conditioned upon the
timely filing by the Developer of all previous annual statements, proofs and certifications
required under Section 6.7 hereof and the City Manager's approval thereof. Beginning
with the November 1, 2003 certification, if the Developer's annual statement, proof and
certification is timely filed and contains the information required under Section 6.7 and
the City Manager approves of the same, the City shall certify to the County prior to
December 1 of that year its request for the available Tax Increments resulting from the
assessments imposed by the County as of January 1 of that year, to be collected by the
City as taxes are paid during the following fiscal year and which shall thereafter be
disbursed to the Developer on June 1 of the following fiscal year. (For example, if the
Developer and the City each so certify on November and December 2003 and 2004,
respectively, the first Economic Development Grant would be paid to the Developer on
June 1, 2006).
(c) In the event that the annual statement, proof or certificate required to be
delivered by the Developer under Section 6.7 is not delivered to the City by November 1
of any year, the Developer recognizes and agrees that the City may have insufficient time
to review and approve the same and certify its request for Tax Increments to the County
and that, as a result, no Economic Development Grant may be made to the Developer in
respect thereof. The City covenants to act in good faith to appropriately review and
consider any late certification on the part of the Developer, but the City shall not be
obligated to make any certification to the County for the available Tax Increments or
make any corresponding payment of the Economic Development Grant to the Developer
if, in the reasonable judgment of the City, it is not able to give appropriate consideration
to the Developer's certification due to its late filing.
- 12-
(d) The total, aggregate amount of all Economic Development Grants under this
Agreement shall not exceed $400,000. Each Economic Development Grant shall be equal
to the sum of one hundred percent (100%) of all Tax Increments collected per fiscal year
in respect of the assessments imposed on the Development Property and Minimum
Improvements as of January 1, 2004, and on January 1 of each of the following six (6)
years, until the total, aggregate of all such Economic Development Grants equals no more
than the sum of $400,000. If a final grant based upon one hundred percent of Tax
Increments would result in total, aggregate Economic Development Grants in an amount
exceeding $400,000, the final Economic Development Grant shall be reduced
accordingly. Such Economic Development Grants shall at all times be subject to
termination in accordance with the terms of this Article VIII. Thereafter the taxes levied
on the Development Property and Minimum Improvements shall be divided and applied
in accordance with the Urban Renewal Act and the Ordinance.
(e) In the event that any certificate flied by the Developer under Section 6.7 or
other information available to the City discloses the existence or prior occurrence of an
Event of Default that was not cured or cannot reasonably be cured under the provisions of
Section 10.2 (or an event that, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would
become an Event of Default that cannot reasonably be cured under the provisions of
Section 10.2), the City shall have no obligation thereafter to make any further payments to
the Developer in respect of the Economic Development Grants and may proceed to take
one or more of the actions described in Section 10.2 hereof.
Section 8.2. Source of Grant Funds Limited. (a) The Economic Development
Grants shall be payable from and secured solely and only by amounts deposited and held
in the GERRY AMBROSE - Plamor TIF Account of the City. The City hereby covenants
and agrees to maintain the Ordinance in force during the term hereof and to apply the
incremental taxes collected in respect of the Minimum Improvements and allocated to the
GERRY AMBROSE - Plamor TIF Account to pay the Economic Development Grants, as
and to the extent set forth in Section 8.1 hereof. The Economic Development Grants shall
not be payable in any manner by other tax increment revenues or by general taxation or
from any other City funds.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.1 hereof, the City shall have no
obligation to make an Economic Development Grant to the Developer if at any time
during the term hereof the City receives an opinion of its legal counsel to the effect that
the use of Tax Increments resulting from the Minimum Improvements to fund an
Economic Development Grant to the Developer, as contemplated under said Section 8.1,
is not authorized or otherwise an appropriate project activity permitted to be undertaken
-13-
by the City under the Urban Renewal Act or other applicable provisions of the Code, as
then constituted, or under a controlling decision of an Iowa court having jurisdiction over
the subject matter hereofi Upon receipt of such an opinion, the City shall promptly
forward a copy of the same to the Developer. If the circumstances or legal constraints
giving rise to the opinion continue for a period during which two (2) Economic
Development Grants would otherwise have been paid to the Developer under the terms of
Section 8.1, the City may terminate this Agreement, without penalty or other liability to
the Developer, by written notice to the Developer.
(c) The City makes no representation with respect to the amounts that may finally
be paid to the Developer as the Economic Development Grants, and under no
circumstances shall the City in any manner be liable to the Developer so long as the City
timely applies the Tax Increments actually collected and held in the GERRY AMBROSE
- Plamor TIF Account (regardless of the amounts thereof) to the payment of the
Economic Development Grants to the Developer, as and to the extent described in this
Article.
Section 8.3. Use of Other Tax Increments. Subject to this Article VIII, the City
shall be free to use any and all Tax Increments collected in respect of increases in
valuation on the Development Property unrelated to construction of the Minimum
Improvements (i.e. increases in assessed or actual value due to market factors) any other
properties within the Project Area, or any available Tax Increments resulting from the
suspension or termination of the Economic Development Grants under Section 8.1 hereof,
for any purpose for which the Tax Increments may lawfully be used pursuant to the
provisions of the Urban Renewal Act, and the City shall have no obligations to the
Developer with respect to the use thereof.
ARTICLE IX. iNDEMNIFICATION

agents, servants and employees thereof(hereinafter, for purposes of this Article IX, the

of any person, other than any act of negligence on the part of any such indemnified party
or its officers, agents, servants or employees.
(d) All covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements and obligations of the City
contained herein shall be deemed to be the covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements
and obligations of the City, and not of any governing body member, officer, agent,

TO: City Council and City Hanager ~
FROI~t: Steven Nasby, Community and Economic Development Coordinator
RE: Tax ]Increment Financing (TJF) Request - Plamor Project
On the City Council agenda for September 10 there is a resolution for the proposed Plamor
project located within the Sycamore\First Avenue T[F district. As you know, the Council
approved this 'r[F district in September 2000 to provide incentives for the redevelopment of
the commercial area around Sycamore Hall. The project site (4 parcels) is currently
assessed at approximately $972,150. Due to the 'I-iF incentives, the developer is
anticipating making an initial investment of $1,200,000 to $1,500,000 in improvements.
The developer is requesting T[F for the proposed Plamor project similar to the terms the
Council approved for the Sycamore Hall (see attached letter). As such, the development
agreement for the proposed Plamor project is modeled on the approved development
agreement for the Sycamore Hall. Some highlights of the Plamor development agreement
include:
· Assessed value must increase at least :[5% prior to any tax rebates
· Hinimum occupancy standards for the duration of the agreement
· Design review required
· Tax rebates are for a period of seven years and are based on the increased value
of the property due to site improvements
· Haximum tax rebates will not exceed $500,000
On August 30, the Council Economic Development Committee discussed the Plamor T[F
request. The consensus of the Council Economic Development Committee was to support
the project and recommend it to the Council for negotiation of the length of the tax rebates.

Dear Council Members,
The purpose of this letter is to formally request Tax Increment Financing (TIF) for the
former Plamor Lanes property located at 1555 S. First Avenue in Iowa City.
The current assessed value of that property, which is Assessor's parcel #1014486002, is
$754,950.00. This assessed value netted a real estate tax totaling $26,390 for the 2001-
2002 fiscal year (payable in 2002-2003). I have recently acquired this property for a
purchase price of $900,000, and plan on adding approximately $1.2 to $1.5 million in
improvements, beginning in mid to late September of this year.
These improvements should result in an increase in tax revenues for the City of Iowa
City. I would like to make this property something that the community will be proud call
it's own, similar to what has been done at the Sycamore Mall.
I would greatly appreciate it if this request would be taken into consideration for approval
at the September 10, 2002 City Council meeting. I truly appreciate your consideration of
this request and wish you all well.

Dear Mr. Atkins,
This correspondence concerns "TIF" negotiations with the old Plamor Lanes
building, the city and Ambrose. We own North Dodge Athletic Club in Iowa City and
are currently paying $58,000 to $60,000 in property taxes. Oar taxes initially were
about $27,000. We made improvements with no government assistance and our taxes
more than doubled.
My concern is we employ more than 200 people, most part- time per year, and we
do not want to be put at a competitive disadvantage with our business. We don't mind
competing with anyone but as everybody is aware, Ambrose is one of the wealthiest
people in the city and he needs no financial help. If he can afford a Jaguar and
approximately $25,000 per month in alimony he doesn't need government assistance.
We offered $1,000,000.00 for that building approximately one year ago and were
tumed down. Our intent was to continue it as a bowling alley with improvements.
It is bad enough First Ave. is still closed. Please don't make matters worse by
putting us at a competitive disadvantage with unnecessary "TIF" benefits.
Thank you for your consideration on this matter. We will be available to address
this matter at anytime. The North Dodge Athletic Club phone number is 351-5683 and
you can contact myself or David Wooldrik, co-owners.
Best regards,
Stephen A. Moss
Co-Owner of North Dodge Athletic Club
