Status Report on the Joint Emergen~ommunication Center
From:
Fiscal year '07 was very successful in terms of the ongoing planning for the Joint Emergency
Communication Center for Johnson County. The new center will operate in lieu of the two
existing emergency communication centers operated by the Iowa City Police Department and
the Johnson County Sheriff's office.
The past year saw completion of the planning study coordinated by JCCOG, and a successful
initiative to change state law to allow the funding of joint emergency communication centers
through the Local Emergency Management Levy. This effort involved many people and all
efforts were appreciated. A recommendation has been made by the JCCOG Urbanized Area
Policy Board to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors to initiate use of the Emergency
Management Levy in the FY09 County budget to begin funding our proposed joint
communication center. We will be following up with the Board of Supervisors in the upcoming
year.
An additional accomplishment in FY07 was a site selection study which resulted in the Iowa City
Water Treatment Plant site being selected as the preferred location for the facility. We are
pleased that our JCCOG subcommittee was able to complete the site selection process. It had
been indicated to us by consultants that this would be at least a $20,000 exercise if we were to
have completed it with outside consultant assistance.
The JCCOG subcommittee coordinating this project is currently involved in hiring a consultant
team which will complete design and engineering of the facility during FYOS. During the past
several weeks we have selected a preferred radio system consultant, who will be teamed with
an architectural firm to complete our design team. We will be selecting the architect during the
next few weeks from eight proposals we have received.
It is our hope to have the design team in place by September 1 so that design activities may be
completed over the following ten months. We hope to let the project for construction in late
spring of 'OS with construction to take approximately one year. Funds have been committed by
Coralville, Iowa City, North Liberty, and Johnson County for completion of design and
engineering activities during FY08 using local funds. Iowa City's share is $300,000
(approximately 40%) which you have committed in the FYOS municipal budget.
Once our design team is selected, a smaller group from our nine-person JCCOG subcommittee
will be selected to work directly with the consultant team. Other important activities during FYOS
will include forming the Joint Emergency Communication Center entity via a 2SE Agreement
between the cities of Coralville, Iowa City, North Liberty, and Johnson County; and completing
the job description and hiring the director of the facility. Once the director is hired, that person
July 2, 2007
Page 2
will coordinate the design and construction of the facility. Until the director is hired, Jeff
Davidson will continue to coordinate the JCCOG subcommittee's activities in his new role as
Iowa City Planning Director.
Regenia Bailey is an active participant in the JCCOG subcommittee in her role as JCCOG
Chairperson, and may wish to offer additional comments. Feel free to let us know if you have
any comments or questions.

MEMORANDUM
Date: July 2, 2007
To: City Council ~
From: Lin~~, JCCOG Human Services Coordinator
Re: Aid-to-Agency Contingency Fund Request for Extend the Dream Foundation
The Extend the Dream Foundation has requested $10,000 in funding assistance to pay for rent
in FY08 for Uptown Bill's Small Mall, located at 401 S. Gilbert Street. Uptown Bill's Small Mall
houses four small businesses operated by persons with disabilities. The original request was for
CDBG funds, which was denied. A second request was made for Community Development
economic development funds, which was also denied, as no new job development was
proposed.
The City Council's Aid-to-Agency Committee (Bailey and Champion) met on Thursday, June
28th, to consider the request. It is recommended to carryover $5,000 in FY07 Aid to Agencies
contingency funds to partially fund the request in FY08. This is for one-time only assistance,
which has been approved by the City Manager.
Please indicate at the July 9th work session if there is a majority of the City Council in favor of
proceeding in this manner.

Jeff Davidson, Director of Planning and Community Development

Re:
I have attempted to take into consideration holidays (H); elections (E); and individual Council
Member absences and offer the following calendar for your consideration. My goal was to
schedule formal meetings when all 7 Council Members could attend. This did necessitate a
number of combined (C) work session and formal meetings on the same evening and with
possible early start times.
We do need to decide the schedule at the July 9 work session to allow staff to schedule items
and projects in the upcoming months.
A final schedule will be distributed after your discussion.

Marian,
Can you please pass this along to the council? Thank you.

Subject: Invitation to Mayor wilburn and City Council
To: abbie14@gmail.com
Hello Abigail
I found your contact info on the ICGov.org website and was hoping you could help me out
with an event I am coordinating.
I am the Executive Philanthropy Chairman for pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, and a senior at The
University of Iowa. On July 18th a unique event and amazing opportunity are coming to
Iowa City. It's called the Journey of Hope and is an event sponsored by my fraternity's
philanthropy, PUSH America. First, PUSH America is a non-profit organization that raises
funds, awareness, and does countless services and projects for people all across America
with disabilities. In fact, my chapter works closely with Mayor's Youth Empowerment
Program
(MYEP) right here in Iowa City.
The Journey of Hope consists of over 60 pi Kappa Phi Fraternity men from across the
country who raise a minimum of $5,000 each, and then participate in a bicycling trek
beginning on the west coast and ending in Washington, D.C. The trip takes around 60 days
to complete, and along the way these cyclists make visits to camps, towns, campuses and
communities in an effort to raise awareness and empathy for the boundaries faced by people
with disabilities, as well as to distribute the $500,000+ that they have raised.
Like I mentioned, the Journey of Hope "north team" will be making its way through The
University of Iowa on Wednesday, July 18th. It would be my pleasure to invite Mayor Ross
Wilburn, the rest of the Iowa City Council, and The University Student Council as well. I
was hoping you could be of some assistance in this invitation process. As representatives
of the city of Iowa City and The University of Iowa student body, I was hoping that
council members might be present to help welcome the Journey of.Hope cyclists on the
behalf of the community and the university, in thanks for the financial and public
awareness contributions that the cyclists will be making.
The arrival ceremony will take place at the Old Capitol at 11:00am on July 18th. If there
is any way you or your councils could be of assistance for this event, it would be very
appreciated. Please let me know if you would be interested in more details. Thank you,
and I look forward to hearing from you!
