Ta e Recorded: Reel 84-C91, Side 2, All; 84-C93, Side 1, A11, Side 2, A11;
8-C , Si e 1, 1-60.
Plannina and Zonina Reel 84-C91, Side 2
Ordinance for an amendment to the planned development housina plan for Tv'n
Cae. Part �.
Ty'n Cae, Part 3, has been amended to change from townhauses to zero lot
lines. This involves the acquisitian of part of Mormon Trek right-of-way.
ihe Council needs to dispose of the vacated right-of-way to the owners of
Ty'n Cae. This also includes a resubdivision which will he Ty'n Cae, Part 4.
A PAD is required because the frontage on the lots on Green Court are less
than the 45 feet that is required in an RS-8 zone.
Ordinance to vacate a oortian of the Grove Street riaht-of-wav.
No discussion.
Ordinance to rezone 1220 and 1228 Third Avenue from RS-5 to RS-8.
The applicant has requested a waiver of the readings and final consideration,
Ordinance to rezone 6.3 acres south of Hiahwav 1 West from I-1 to CI-1.
The applicant (Marv Nartwig Inc.) has requested that the second reading be
waived.
In response to an earlier question from Erdahl, Franklln said when I�OT
acquires highwey right-af-way in the name of a city, they do it with the
consent of the city. The Iowa OOT regional district manager said there is no
joint furisdiction.
Resolution to establish procedures for the dispositian of minor parcels of
land.
This is to establish pracedures far the disposition of minor parcels of land.
Often the City would like to dispose of small parcels of right-of-way which
are not warth the tost of an appraisal. The value of the land would be based
on the price per square foot of the adjacent property as established by
recent sales or by the assessed value, whichever is greater. Franklin
explained this neN system may create a situation where prices for the
right-of-way will be higher than peopte are willing to pay for. Franklin
suggested changing language in the resolution to state "may" instead of
"shall". Berlin suggested to the Council to proceed with the resolutian as
is and see what happens. In respanse ta McOonald, Franklin said the 1965
resolution is sti11 being followed. Baker said the City could lose money by
using an appraisal. Franklin suggested adding language to the resolution to
accept sealed bids. Jansen said the City shauld reserve the right to reject
the bids. Jansen emphasized that the City cannot make a gift of public
property. Strait recommended review of the resolution by the City Attorney.
Councilmembers directed staff to research alternatives far disposition of
small parcels. Jansen agreed to work with City staff.
Council will defer action on this resolution until the previous item is
resolved.
Resolution to refer the Iowa City Zoning Ordinance to the P1anMng and Zoning
Commission.
Franklin said the Planning and Zoning Commission may review anything in the
present Loning Ordinance. Jansen said the court is proposing that dairy
products processing and packaging become a permitted use in the CH-1 zone.
McOonald inquired about the ability to build buildings in back yards.
Franklin said that issue is on the Planning and Zoning pending list. Franklin
explained the following items are on the pending list: 1) Zoning Ordinance,
2) Urban Environment Ad Hoc poiicy recommendations, and 3) yard questions.
Riverfront Cammissian recommendations Reel 84-C91, Side 2
City Council discussed recommendations from the Riverfront Cartmission
regarding the Iawa River within the city limits and the cantrol of its use by
the state. Chairperson Oiana LeNis explained that a previous request for a
water show had 6een denied by the City Council but that decision was over
ridden by the Conservation Commission. Cain explained according to the City
Attorney that an option is to petition the State Conservation Commission to
adopt special rules that would apply to the river area within Iowa City.
Also, the Council can investigate ways of gaining local control over the
river. Lewis explained that the Iawa Conservation Commission may not be
aware of special circumstances existing Nithin the [owa City boundaries - the
two dams, high concentratian of passive uses, and special permits imply kinds
of activity of permissibte. Strait suggested the Legislative Comnittee 6e
involved.. Cain said that the Countil could ask the Iowa Conservatian
Cmmission to establish guidelines for the review of permits that are
processed by their affice. McDona7d raised concerns ahout enforcement
responsibilities. Jansen said it may 6e preferable to have the State
Conservation Cortmission adopt rules because of the jurisdiction and 1lability
prablems. Berlin stated that state officials seemed receptive to establish-
1ng special rules for the area. Council agreed with the recomnendation to
petition the State Conservation Cortmission to adopt special rules.
�
Strait inquired about the donation of a 50 foot wide strip of land to the
City. Cain explained that it has been reviewed by Parks and Recreation and
the Riverfront Commission but the developer has not formally offered the
property. The Riverfront Commission will recomnend acceptance of the
property if it is offered,
SPI pragram slide presentation Reel 84-C93, Side 1
The City Council watched the SPI prograrn slide presentation. Strait inquired
about the SPI program's involvement with Special Olympics. Coffin explained
that many of the SP! prograrn peaple participate in Special Olympics. Cassady
said the SPI program slide presentation will be shown to various groups in
the community.
Tax abatement incentives
Reel 84-C93, Side 1
McDonald stated that the Council shouid adopt the tax abatement policy even
though local municipalities don't have full control over what industries can
use the policy. Ray Muston sa9d the tax abatement incentive policy wi11
strengthert Iawa City's position in terms of future economic development. The
policy will serve as an incentive to industry, not as a means in selectinq or
regulating industry. Council still has options in the process by reviewing
all proposals to ensure they meet lacal zoning ordinance requirements. Muston
noted that the Council will not be able to discriminate against industries
that have met the state guidelines and lacal ordinances. Muston reviewed the
process whereby industries select cortmunities for the lacation of their
plants and said that it is important that there is a positive attitude within
the community for industrial expansion. Muston said that State legislatian
needs to be expanded to include business services/office research applica-
tions. Baker inquired if cities will eventually get more contro7 of the tax
abatement program. Muston said iegislators shauld be eontacted regarding the
control issue. Erdahl noted that tax abatement and economic development were
discussed in the Council goal setting meeting. Councilmembers favored the
tax abatement incentive program but emphasized the need to address an overall
policy for econanic development. Dickson suggested that the City Council
review the current Zaning Ordinance to becane familiar with what industry is
allawed. Franklin said she witl prepare information about zoning for
Council's review. Muston affered to meet with Councilmembers to discuss
econanic deveiopment strategies. Erdahl raised concerns about not hearing
both sides of the tax abatement incentive issue. McDonald stated that the
tax abatement program can be repealed at any time. In response to Strait,
Erdah7 said Iawa City has a fairly restrictive sewer ordinance which would
regulate industrial discharge. Baker asked why Miliard located in Iowa City.
Muston explained M111ard settled in Iowa City because of its strategic
lacation to their markets and the quality of the comnunity. Berlin said
staff will research and provide Council with more information about tax
abatement.
Couneil Time Reel 84-C93, Side 2
1. McDonald stated he will attend Vlednesday's Southeast League of Municipal-
lties meeting. Councilmembers are welcome to go to the meeting with
McDonald.
2. Strait commented on McOonald's letter to the Charter Review Commission.
Ambrisco said the Charter Review Comnission chairperson has asked for
individual input fram the Council concerning the charter.
3. Strait inquired about the Civic Center expansion plans on other sites.
Berlin explained alternative sites were limited and costs were such that
it Has not a viabie alternative. The City is working to finding a
solution to the parking's proximity to the church.
4. Strait appreciated the memo fran the City Manager regarding Mayflower
parking.
5. Dickson noted the correspondence from Jeff Smith, re animals caught in
the Melrose Lake area. Berlin wi11 investigate what happens to the wild
animals. Also, Uicksan asked when Planning and Zoning will respond to the
people regarding Melrose Lake. Staff will report.
6. Dickson inquired when the City Attorney will respond to the letter from
Merle Trummel re the building at Sturgis Corner. Jansen said the Baard
of Adjustment is canpletely independent and the Council did not have
authority to require the Board of Rdjustment to explain their decision to
the Council. Council noted confusion in the letter about the City
Attorney's acting as an advocate for the citizens of the City - that is a
misconception. Berlin said the letter from Scott Barker suggested it may
be desirable to look at aiternative ways to handle special exeeptions for
lot lines. Berlin said Planning and Progrem Uept. staff should review
this and will respond to Mr. Trummel.
7. In response to 8aker, Berlin said the City has had discussions with the
Law School Faundation about Ryerson woods. They have requested the City
eanply with county requirements. The City witl discuss prices with the
Foundation. Also, Berlin explained that the highway department awns land
adfacent to Ryerson woods. The City wi11 be able to buy the state
property adjacent to the woods.
8. Karr nated that agenda item i2(e)2, resolution accepting work for
Shamrock/Arbor, should be deleted fran the Consent Calendar.
9. Karr stated Councilmembers should pick up supplements 21 and 22 for their
code books ar drop their cade books off to the City Clerk for updating.
10. Karr stated an informal Council meeting with the Board of Supervisors is
scheduled for December 19 at the Public Library. Uinner will be held at
Braadway Cafe. Helling stated that Councilmembers should cantact him
regarding topics for discussion. McOonald said the joint facility should
be a discussion topic. Berlin noted that the human services hearing on
�ecem6er 13 is scheduled simultaneously with the dinner with the boards
and commission members. Mintle Nill reschedule the human services
meeting starting time. Councilmembers Strait, Dickson and
Mc�onald wi11 serve as Council representatives at that meeting.
11. Karr noted a correction to agenda item 21, the refuse ordinance, as

Services Facility (MECCA) - 5100,000; Goodwill Industries Renovation -
5156,210; City Park Accessibility - 535,000; Creekside NIA Sidewalk Project -
b23,200; Longfellow Playground Equipment - 52,400; Contingency Fund -
533,631. On October 24, 1984, the City Council received the Cortmittee on
Comnunity Needs recomnendation for 1985 Comnunity Development Block Grant
funding. Per Council's request, on November 20, 1984, CCN received this
recomnendation and is requesting the Council to consider the revised recom-
mendations. The Council, at its meeting of November 20, 1984, made its final
decisions regarding the allocation of these funds. (2) The Comnittee on
Community Needs recommends to Council that although the Miller/Benton/Orchard
Storm Drainage Project is an important item, CCN does not feel it is appro-
priate for CDBG money. The Miller/Benton/Orchard Storm Drainage Project is
part of the proposed Capital Improvement Plan and the City Countil will
review this project at that time.

Charter Review Cortmission
November 26, 1984
Charter Review Cormnission: November 16, 1964, 7:30 p.m, in the Council
Chambers at the Civic Center. Chairperson Balmer presiding.
Cortmission Present: Mintzer, Goodwin, Balmer, Matsumato, Welt, Baldus,
Oavi sen, Roherts, Ringgenberg.
Staff Present: Karr, Boyle, Smith.
Tape Recorded: Reel 11-84, Side 2, All, 12-84, Side 1, All.
Balmer declared the public hearing in session and introduced the members of
the Charter Review Commissian. The Commission would like public input and
any amendments proposed by the Commission would be decided upan by the
voters. Balmer explained that the public hearing discussion is not limited
to Council districting, initiative and referendum, or campaign contributions.
Moved by Davidsen, seconded by Welt, to actept correspondence fran Iowa City
Mayor John McDonald. Roherts stated he didn't appreciate receiving an
official letter from the Mayor's affice and that McDonald should have written
a letter as a concerned citizen. Balmer explained that input was solicited
from past and current Councilmembers. Motion passed unanimously.
Karen Kubby, representing the local chapter af the Ioaa Socialists Party,
stated that the role of the City Manager should be changed to decentralize
the power concentrated in the City Manager's position. Two ways to
decentralize that power are to make the City Manager an elected position and
to decrease the responsibility of the City Manager. Kubby alsa recommended
that the initiative and referendum signatures requirement to be changed to
"qualified voters or qualified electors" and that 4000 signatures be re-
quired. The changes would still maintain the or9ginal intent of the charter
but would make the signature requirement more feasible. In response to
Baldus, Karr said that only a small percentage of signatures were disquali-
fied due to iltegibility. Baldus said the Comnission is considering a change
so that the address of the signator would not have to match the address that
was attached to voter registratian. Balmer said the Commission had discussed
changing the responsibility for the validation of signatures but ultimateiy
felt the validation of signatures by the City Clerk should be retained.
Oavidsen noted that the Cortmission wanted to retain "qualified" but wanted to
be less stringent with matching the address. Baldus explained the Commission
decided to give the City Council the discretion to require certain additional
information on the petition. In response to Mintzer, Balmer said the
Cortmission needs to discuss changing "qualified" to "eligible".
Larry Baker stated that the charter should require a full and open disclosure
of all campaign contributions - down to the smallest amounts. Baker noted
arguments that full disclasure af campaign contributians may complicate
recordkeeping and may discourage some people from making contributions.
Balmer said the City is presently operating under the State Code S25 disclo-
sure requirement. Baker said that a problem with the current disclosure is
that a great many of the tandidates list contributions under miscellaneous.
Balmer said the specific dollar arnount for disclosure should be decided upon
by the City Council and that the Council presently has the power to enact
fu11 disclosure. Mintzer stated the charter requires that there be an
:�338
� �.
ordinance regarding disclosure and there is currently is not such an ordi-
nance. Mintzer said if there is a disclosure requirement, an enforcement
provision needs to be added. Oavidsen said that an enforcement mechanism for
full disclosure is a difficult problem. In response to Baker, Matsumoto said
that there are no City code provisions for disclosure violations, under state
code a willful violation constitutes a serious misdemeanor, which cou7d
potentially result in removal from affice, and the State Elections Cortmission
has pranulgated a set of administrative rules that define certain monetary
penalties. Boyle commented on the delinquency penalty for violations under
State Code, Chapter 56. Balmer said there is a problem Nith fitting the
penalty with the crime. Roberts stated that fu11 disclosure should provide a
means for handling contributians made anonymausly. Baker cartnented that full
disclosure should include in-kind contributions. Ringgenberg inquired if
there exists problems under the present law. Kubby stated she Would like
full disclosure including in-kind contributions and it is important for
voters to decide upon the enforcement recortmendatians.
Balmer stated that another issue is districting and whether district candi-
dates should be voted on strictly by qualTfied electors of that district.
Balmer noted that in the present system a primary election is held if rtare
than two candidates are running for a district seat and that only qualified
electors of the district vote. In the general election all qualified
electors vote for district seats. Commission members need to decide if they
should propose an amendment on the ballot to change the current system to
a11aN district candidates to be voted upan only by voters in the district or
to allaw voters to reaffirm the present system. Davidsen reviewed the
current system, stating there are seven Couneilmembers; four at-large and
three elected by districts. Every two years two Councilmembers are elected
at-large and two Councilmembers are elected by district and every other tNo
years two are elected at-large and one from the district. Ringgenberg said
that previously a five member Council existed and when the original charter
Was initiated, there was public interest in enlarging the size of the Council
and in assuring representation fran all parts of the City.
Mintzer said he received the following input from people who could not attend
the public hearing: it was recommended that a ward system be used due to
voter confusion and student disenfranchisement, a move toward a ward system
would be progressive, and the Charter Review Camnissian should recommend that
a ward system be voted upon and passed. Balmer explained that the original
charter established the present at large/district representation system to
assure representation throughout the City and that voter confusion could be
resolved through clarification and education. Roberts said a problem Nith
the present system is that a candidate could win in his own district but lose
his bid for a seat on the Council in the general election. Roberts said that
people within their districts should vote for their representative. Kubby
said that there should be at large representation for the whole city and
district seats to ensure that there are people accountable to each district.
Baker stated that if the Commission considers district representation, then
they shauld also consider district realignment. Balmer explained that
districting was dane on a population basis. Oavidsen said the current
districts are heterogeneous and that reapportionment should not become an
issue. Mintzer said gerrymandering includes "busting" or "blocking". Busting
splits up candidates so much that a specific group cannot elect anyone and
blocking (grouping all of a specific segment of the population in the
aa3o
district) guarantees at least one seat an the Council for that group.
Davidsen said the original Charter Review Comnission divided Iowa City into
equal parts based on populatian. Baker suggested adding more district
representatives and only having two or three at large representatives.
Mintzer said that if a primary system is used, there should be candidates
uith differing viewpoints and voters should have a choice between different
people. Balmer stated that a strict districting system would be too paro-
chial. Ro6erts nated that the Charter Review Comnission will determine what
to put on the ballot for the electorate to decide. Balmer said language on
the ballot is crucial. Balmer reminded everyone that proposed amendments to
the charter will go on the ballot on the 1985 general election.
Meeting Schedule and Other Information
The Charter Review Commission will meet November 29, 7:30 p.m., Oecember 1,
8:30 a.m., and December 10, 7:30 p.m. Balmer requested the Charter Review
Commissian and staff draft proposed language for the ballot.
In response to Mintzer, Boyle stated that a memo has been prepared regarding
the charter Article VI campaign contributions enforcement. The City cannot
remave anyone fran the Couneil for violation. There are provisions in the
State Code that limit penalties to ;100 or 30 days in jai1. Boy1e aiso
prepared a draft of Artic7e VI disclosure provisians. Karr stated she wi11
revise drafts of the changes as discussed by the Comnission.
Balmer thanked the pubtic for attending the public hearing and adjourned at
the public hearing at 9:05 p.m.

CHARTER REVIEN COMMISSION
NOYEMBER 29, 1984
Charter Review Cortunissian: November 29, 1984, 7:35 PM in the Council
Chambers at the Civic Center. Chairperson Balmer presiding.
Commission present: Balmer, Goodwin, Matsumoto, Nelt, Baldus, �avidsen,
Roberts, Mintzer (7:43 PM).

Staff present: Karr, Boyle, Smith
Tape recorded: Reel 12-84, Side 1, 344-End, Side 2, All, 13-84, Side 1,
1-364.
Chairpersan Balmer called the meeting to order at 7:35 PM. The November
12th Charter Review Comnissian minutes were approved as read. Comnissian
members camnented on the lack of attendance at the public hearing.
Charter Review Cammission reviewed the draft of administrative changes
fran staff. Boyle stated he has reviewed the charter in its entirety and
that he Would suggest Council not act on the new clarifying language in
Section 303 'Nowever, all qualified electars..." if districting wi11 be a
ballot issue. Cammission members said the clarifying language should be
retained, even if districting is a ballot issue.
With respect to initiative and and referendum, Baldus said there exists a
problem when the address of a person signing a petition differs from that
person's address on the voting rolls. Baldus suggested that a signature
should not be deemed invalid merely because the qualified elector's
address on the petition is different from the qualified electar's address
on the current voting rolis. A1so there should 6e an i�centive for the
Council to get other information for verification of signature. In
response to Baldus, Boyle said a person is a qualified elector if their
current address is the same as on the voter registration rolls. Balmer
stated that the problem of signature validation Would be alleviated by
obtaining more infarmation. Karr said there is a problem with knowing if
a persan has just moved or if the signature is from a different person
Nith the same name and that presently only a name and address are ob-
tained. Mintzer suggested changing "qualified" to "eligible". After
diseussion, Cammission members agreed not to change "qualified" to
"eligible". Balmer said the present validation of slgnatures pravision
shauld be retained and noted that if the proper numher af valid signatures
are not obtained, there is an opportunity to file additional signatures.
Baldus said the present system is biased against peaple who move. Baldus
suggested rewording Settion 7,03.8, second sentence, to read "Each
signature an the petition must be followed by the address of the person
signing, the date of the signature and either their birthdate or soc7al
security number...". Bayle said that language would need to be added to
Section 7.04:D so that a different address alone would not disqualify a
qualified elector. Oavidsen said charter definition f7 (preamble defini-
ttons) would need to state "except as modified by Sectian 7.03 and 7.04."
Boyle said he would research "qualified voter" and suggest language
revisians for the next meeting.

Balmer inquired about adding a provision in the charter that would allow
the Charter Review Cartmission to make recomnendations directly to the City
Council. Boyle stated language could be added enabling staff recomnenda-
tions that the Charter Review Cammission concurs with to go to the City
Council.
Balmer stated that the Charter Review Comnission should consider if any of
the propased charter amendments are going to make the charter a better
document for the citizens of IoWa City; if the Charter Review Comnission
praposes any amendments - he wants to be able to support those amendments;
and if citizens feel strongly enough the charter can be changed by their
submitting petitions. �avidsen said the Charter Review Commission was set
up ta review the charter and then propose changes if, in fact, those
changes will make a better tharter and the Charter RevieN Commission's
role is not to give the titizens af Iowa City a chance to vote on an
issue. Oavidsen explained that the Council by resalution may submit a
proposed amendment to the voters; Council by ordinance may amend the
charter, or a petition signed by eligible electors can require an eleetian
to amend the charter. Commissian members agreed that any issue put to the
6allot should 6e simply worded. Matsumoto stated that it aould not be in
violatian of the charter to put alternative propositions an the ballot and
that it would be difficult for voters ta initiate an amendment because of
the problems of gathering all of the information. Matsumoto said that
voters should have a chance to vote on a matter which may be of pubiic
interest.
Uavidsen, Balmer and Welt stated that districting should not be a ballot
issue. Ro6erts. 600dwin, Mintzer, Baldus, and Matsumoto all felt that
districting should be put on the ballot. Baldus stated that the Charter
Review Comnission ought to bend over backwards in the name of democracy to
allow people to have a vote if the comnissian thinks it's a responsible
position and if there is a strong body of support in favor of that
position. Oavidsen countered that the demotratic process is available 6ut
the Charter Review Commission's responsibility is to review the charter.
Regarding districting, Oavidsen said she would hate to see Iowa City get
involved in partisan politics. Roberts spoke in favor af the three
districts electing their own representative and keeping four at-large rep-
resentatives. Helt explained that the present system aas established as
one methad to detract from the powers of a strong political machine.
Baldus said if distrieting ts adopted by the voters and it gets out of
control, there is a still a means to change it. Balmer said the majority
of the cortmission wants districting on the ballat and requested that
commissian members from the majority shauld 'develop batlot language.
Cartmission mem6ers diseussed how the issue should go on the ballot.
Mintzer suggested the ballot should ask "Should each distr9ct elect their
own representative to City Council?" Matsumoto suggested putting the
present charter language vs. the proposed alternative on the ballot.
Mintzer said that baltot la�guage should not give special weight to the
present system and the issue should be stated to make it clear what voters
are choosing. Oavidsen said the ballot should read "Shall Section 2.01 be
changed as follows...shall Section 3.03 be changed as follows..." and put
a charter in the voting booth. Nelt stated that warding could have a
ma.ior impact. Baldus su�qgested ballot language: "Do you favor a system in
whjth each of the City s three districts nominate and elect in the City
.?330

electian its own City Counc9lors, or the present system in which the three
districts of the City naninate candidates who are subsequentiy elected at
large in the City election," in an "A" or "B" format. Roberts suggested
choices be rotated on the ballot. Matsumoto said that information is
given to the voters by identifying what the present system is. Baldus
said he will write suggested language and give it to Boyle for review.
Davidsen said the actual text of the proposed changes should be placed in
the 600ths so voters can read the amended text.
Commission members discussed Article VI, Campaign Disclosures. In
response to Mintzer, Davidsen said that enforcement, not full disclosure,
seems lil:e the difficult issue. Balmer said the Charter Review Commission
should try to conelude the discussion on districting and distlosure at
Saturday's meeting.
Mintzer suggested that ane of the faur at-large Council seats be eiected
for only a two year term. Boyle stated that State law requires fou� year
staggered terms.

Ringgenberg, Welt, Baldus

Chairperson 8almer called the meeting to order at 8:30 AM. The minutes of the
November 26, 1984 Charter Review Commission meeting were approved as read.
Boyle exFlained a person is a qualified elector unless their registration is
cancelled even if that person moves within the City limits. Cancel7ation of
registration occurs under State Code ahen a person dies, registers to vote in
another place, if the clerk sends notification af an elector's conviction of an
infamous crime or felony, mental retardation, or when first class mail which is
designated nat to be foraarded and was addressed to the elector, was returned
to the postal service. The State Code does not specifically cover the situa-
tion if a person is a qualified elector if that person has moved and hasn't
changed their registration. In response to Oavidsen, Boyle said in his opinion
the charter definitians seetion Would not need to be changed.
8oyle raised the concern about if a person signs a petition but does not fi11
in birthdate or social security number. Boyle recammended adding language to
the last sentence in charter section 7.04.D: "A valid signature need not be in
the identical form in which the qualified elector's name appears on the voting
rolis; nor must the address be the same as shown an such rolts if either the
qualified elector's birthdate or social security number is as shown on the
voting rolls." The Commission generally agreed with the recommendation.
Balmer stated he favors the present charter section 7.04.D and 7.03.8 provi-
sions. Balmer suggested that if changes are made, they should be simple and
straightforward sa as nat to confuse people. Karr stated that additional
infurmation helps the problem of eliminating signatures solely an the basis of
address but will require more staff time to validate the signatures and process
supplemental petitians. Commission members said the additional infarmation
should help the Clerk s interpretation af signature legibility and make the
Clerk's job easier. Matsumoto said the charter section 7.03.8 seems to
indicate that a signature is invalid if the birthdate and soclal security
num6ers are anitted. Boyle suggested charter section 7.03.8, second sentence,
read "The petition form sha11 pravide space far stgnature, address, social
security number and birthdate." Boyle stated the validit of si nature
provision deems whether the signature is a valid signa ure. Karr suggeste
substituting charter section 7.03.8 "either" with "and one of the following."
Ringgenberg suggested allawing the City Council to work it aut. Baldus said to
include in charter section 7.03.B "The form shall include space for address,
date of execution, social security number, birthdate and any other information
the Council wants." In response to Karr, Boyle said the signature is not valid
if the name and address don't match and the birthdate and social security
number are anitted.

Charter Review Cortmission
Oecember 1, 1984
Page 2
Patt Cain, former Commission member, explained that the charge of the Charter
Review Comnission is to come up with recomnendations to improve and fine tune
the city charter. Cain said the Charter Review Commission should be cartmitted
to proposed changes. The turrent process is set up for people who want change,
are comnitted to that change, and are willing to work for that change. Cain
said any new proposals by the Charter Review Comnission will be assumed to have
the Charter Review Commission's support. if the Charter Review Commission
proceeds with the districting propasals, Cain hoped that the Charter Review
Cortmissian will give its reasoning to the cortmunity and be willing to ga out
and justify making it an issue. In response to Ro6erts, Cain said the original
Charter Review Commission did not have control over the format of the ballat.
Matsumoto said Cain's position is reasanable but an alternative, to allow
voters to choose, is a valid position also. Balmer stated that the districting
proposal does not need the full endorsement of the Charter Review Cortmission
and he doesn't endorse that proposal.
Mary Neuhauser, former Maycr and Councilmember, said the Charter Review
Cammission is charged to make recommendations and not to say °We don't know
ahat to do." If the Commission is not prepared to make recomnendations, then
it should recommend a change to the charter to abolish the commission.
Neuhauser reised concerns about the districting proposal's impact on the
selection of the mayor. Nith the districting proposal, it would be tonceivable
to have a mayor selected by the Council for whom tHo-thirds of the City did not
have a chance to vote. Therefore, the mayor would not be representing the city
as a whole but xould he representing only one district. Matsumoto asked how
impartant is the mayar's functian other than presiding over Couneil meetings.
Balmer explained that the Mayor represents the majority vieN of the Couneil,
speaks for the Couneil at meetings and with legislators, and represents the
City's views on state and federal levels. Matsumoto said a mayor under the
propased system would also act in that manner, Neuhauser explained that there
are tao reasons for having a ward system: if cities are too big or beeause a
segregation problem where a minority feels disenfranchised. Neuhauser said the
present system has worked well for Iowa City. In respanse to Mintzer, Charter
Review Cortmission members stated the idea of having a popularly elected mayor
has been discussed by the original Charter Review Comnission.
Ringgenberg said that people get plenty of choices within the charter.
Ringgenberg said he could propose numerous issues ta put on the ballot but
Charter Review Commission members should be eonvinced an those issues.
Matsumoto argued that there may be conditions of uncertainty that make it
important for voters to have chaices. Matsumoto said that the charter amend-
ment provisions allow voters to put an issue on the ballot, it doesn't take
into consideration the time and effart, the cost and information necessary to
do so.
Input was received fram Ann Parton, Mel Novick, Naomi Navick, and Ann Bovjberg.
Mel Novick stated that the districting prapasal is not an amendment in a
technical sense, the proposai wi11 cause canfusion, and that by making the
proposal the Charter Review Comnission is not doing its job. He said that he
doesn't want the Commission to change the current form of government but if the
Charter Review Cortmission propases changes, Commission members should be
available ta the public for explanations. Novick emphasized that any amendment
should improve local government and make it more responsive to citizens. Balmer

said correspondence has been received from the League of Women Voters. Moved
by Roberts, seconded by Ringgenberg, to accept the correspondence. Motion
passed.
Comnission members agreed to forward preliminary recommendatians to present
Councilmembers, for their individual comnents, prior to final discussion and
formal recommendations.
Balmer said that he wi17 accept the majority vate of the Charter RevieN
Commissian but will explain to the public that the districting proposal is not
a recommendation from the Charter Review Comnission. The proposal is an aption
for the voters. Balmer said that he personally does not favor the proposal and
will work to maintain the present system. Balmer said the district praposal is
different and that if the majority of the Commission strongly favored an issue,
it would stand behind it. Charter Review Commission discussed how the district
proposal would go on the ballot. Karr noted that the current Charter Review
Comnission is not mandated to use the ballot form used by the original Charter
Review Cammission and voting is naw done an a new computerized card system.
Karr explained that the computerized system witl need additional programning
for a related two question/yes or no format. Karr reported that programm9ng
costs E15 per hour and could take weeks ar months to complete.
Roberts stated that he favors the districting proposal. Mintzer said that the
current system causes voter confusion and disenfranchises students. Naomi
Novick said that voters need to be educated about the current system. Goodwin
anC Ro6erts agreed that the new proposal will clarlfy the current election
system. N. Novick gave a simple explanation af the current voting system. In
response to Mintzer, Novick said the probiem is not student disenfranchisement
but rather that students fust don't care to vote. Mel Novick emphas7zed the
current district praposal is invalid as an amendment. Matsumato said that the
current proposal is an amendment and gives the voters a yes or no choice.
Baldus said that proposal is trying ta clarify districting for an ill-informed
electorate, Balmer stated that a yes or no format should be used on the
ballot. In resporise to Gaodwin, Karr explained that the charter text referrred
to in the ballot question is posted in the voting booth. Baldus suggested
using the format used by the originai Charter Review Cortmission: "Shall the
present system...be retained and sha17 the proposal to change be adopted."
Voters must be instructed ta vote on one of the tWo questions. Bovjberg
suggested that if the Charter Review Comnission is not bound by laN to use par-
ticular language on the ballot, the Cortmission can work to clarify within the
yes or no format. Mintzer suggested putting the actual wording of the amendment
in the voting booth. Matsumoto said the City Council shauld have an opportu-
nity to review the districting proposal. Balmer said that a memo can he sent to
the City Council requesting their individual comments. Davidsen said that the
Commission wi11 need to look at district boundaries and will need to appoint a.
districting subcomnittee.
In reference to initiative and referendum, Karr suggested making the additional
information for signature validation mandatory. Baldus said that the C1erk has
the power to say on the petition form that the validation of the signature
shall depend upon the Clerk's ability to verify it and that depends upon
providing information.

Charter Review Commission reviewed Mintzer's July 13 recommendations regarding
rho futl disclosure section.
Balmer recommended that final decisions be made on issues already discussed by
the Comnission. Goodwin, Baldus, Matsumoto, Roberts, Mintzer voted in favar of
changing the present system of elected district representatives. Nelt,
Oavidsen, Ringgenberg and Balmer were opposed to the change.
Nelt, Goodwin, Baldus, Matsumoto and Roberts voted in favor of the original
ballot question A1 proposed language. Oavidsen, Mintzer, Ringgenberg and
Balmer favored the modified A2 ballot questian.
Commission members discussed whether the Commisslon should become an advocate
for the proposal. Balmer asked if the Cortmission would prefer to remain neutral
rathe� than endorse either side of the issue. The Comnission voted 8/1
(MinCzer voting "no") to remain neutrai.
Balmer said that it is incumbent upon each member to explain his/her oan
apinion regarding districting. Cammission members discussed the proposed
district ballot format. �avidsen noted that instructions will have to be
revised because levers are no longer used in voting. Commission members
discussed using an "A" ar "B" format and "yes" and "no" format. Davidsen said
that wording of an amendment is important. Baldus suggested that districting
threesdistrict C uncilpmembers be nomin ted and� elect dent to provide for the
Balmer appointed �avidsen, Baldus, and Matsumoto to a suhcomnittee to draft
appropriate language. The subcommittee will meet with Karr after this meeting
and prepare suth language.
The Charter Review Commission discussed campaign contributions, full disclosure
and enforcement. Balmer stated that he believes that the present charter
inquiredV if thereiwerenanyh technical �inconsistencies betweeo the ucharter,and
State laN. Balmer stated that the charter is not inconsistent with State law.
Mintzer spoke in favar of fu11 disclosure provision. Neuhauser stated that it

made on the cost af donated services or the services themseives could be
listed. Balmer stated that disclosure is required and there is a mechanism for
punishment for violation. Matsumoto noted that the charter requires the
Councll to adopt an ordinance requiring disclosure of a11 contributians and in
absence of such an ardinance no requirements exist requ�ing disclosure of all
contributions. Mintzer inquired if there was a consensus by the Charter Review
Comnission to retain Article VI as is presently written. Matsumoto suggested
amending charter section 6.02 and not requiring a11 contributions. Baldus said
full disclosure Was never the intention af the ori�ginal Charter Review Cortmis-

Baldus suggested deleting charter Article VI because of State law regulations.

not be allowed to change the charter by way of an ordinance and not change the
actual charter. Mintzer said the City Council could have adopted an ardinance
that states the City follows State law in terms of disclosure and contribution.
Balmer said the Charter Review Commission can discuss Article VI and the
districting hallot language at the December 10 meeting. Baldus said public
input should be received at that meeting after Charter Review Commissian
members have taken a tentative position on issues. Mintzer would like the
Charter Review Commission to consider Article YIII and the two year moratorium
an having referendums on City ordinances at the next meeting. Baldus said the
following Article VIII language cauld be added to read: 'The Council shall
i adopt the propased amendments according to the power in the preceding section
i or submit them to the voters."

Oubuque Street); 45-day limitation period: 12/14/84.
Franklln stated that the applicant had requested deferment until December
6 and possibly longer. The applicant's problem was getting the develop-
ment together; indeed, abandonment of the project was possible.
Horowitz asked if the development included the property which Nas the
site of the old antique store or if the new building would replace only
the existing multi-family structure?
Franklin responded that both buildings were in the development pian and
both would cane down to be replaced by a U-shaped building ahich would

stated that the Assistant City Attorney said no. Scott also noted the
receipt of the revised [owa City bylaws, which were forwarded to the
Cauncil. Scott then asked if staff had anything to report.
Franklin told Horowitz that if she were still interested in the CD block
grant funding hearings, that she could speak directly to the Council.
Horowitz responded that she would not pursue the matter unless the
Commission wanted her to. Courtney pointed aut that not all of the CCN
recommendations were through yet so there were perhaps funds remaining.
Franklin brought up the Home Town Dairy case. She noted that the C1ty
had lost in court on both the noise and zoning ordinance. She stated
that the decision regarding the zaning ordinance rested on the thanges
made by the City Council in that ordinance, and the fact that those
changes were not referred back to the Pianning and Zoning Commission.
Franklin eoncluded that the City Council would probably decide on an
appeal of the court decision soon. •
Horawitz asked if another noise and zoning ordinance attempt would be
made wlth the Planning and Zoning Commission being involvedT Franklin
responded that no new ordinance was anticipated until an appeal action
was decided or concluded.
Scott asked if the City Council was duty bound to send back to the
Planning and Zoning Commission any changes that it might make in the
zoning ordinance if those changes were substantial.
Franklin responded that she did not know.
Scott nated that in the case of the dairy, the Planning and Zoning
Cortmissian recortmended the dairy be classified "permitted use" in the
CH-1 zone and the Council went with the special exception designation.
Franklin raised the question, if a11 changes made by the City Council
had to go batk to the Planning and Zaning Comnission and the Planning
and 2oning Commission refused to change its recommendation(s), where '
would the process stop.
Scott noted the City Council has final arbitration rights on any dispute
with the Commissian. Thus, the question of referrals back to Planning E
Zoning of ordianees changes is an important procedural question for the
City.
franklin noted that what constituted a significant and substantive
change was an issue that would probably ultimately be decided by the
courts.
Scott asked if an appeal through the court suspended the City's enforce-
ment powerl
Franklin responded that she did not know,

Jordan stated that the Urban Environment Ad Hoc Comnittee passed a policy
statement on to the Council. This statement will come to the Planning and
Zoning Commission. Jordan noted that a number of private citizens were
opposed to the designation of fragile areas, especially if the areas were in
their back yards.
Scott stated that in his opinion this is the problem, especially if the City
refuses to pay compensation. The concern is with having private property
labeled environmentally fragile, without compensatian being offered. Here
lies the political difficulty.
Jordan agreed.
Franklin noted that although the designation of areas had not occurred in
Iowa, in other states it had been done. In those states the courts had
judged that no taking accurred unless the full use of the praperty was
adjudicated as taken. She noted that in the cases addressed by the Committee
sa far, only minor property rights were potentially altered.
Jordan said except for one case.
Franklin explained that a mechanism being investigated by the Committee was
to require an environmental impact statement on any large scale development
ar subdivision. There would be specifically designated zones and buildings
within these zones wauld require a special environmental review before a
building permit coutd be issued. As for the specific case referred to above.
(a project in Manville Heights), Franklin noted that the owner could still
put up a single family structure but the owner may have to, for example.
undertake erosion contral measures and other actians to ameliorate the
impact of construction on the ravine located an his property.
Jordan stated that this was his very objection.
Scott reiterated that the key consideratian here was a political ane. For
instance, in this ease we have privately held property being negatively
impacted aithout any provision fo� campensatian. Scott hypothesized that
With undeveloped land, politically there wauld be more options avaitable.
Frenkiin agreed this was very possible.
Franklin pointed out that the adoptton of the policy statement was being
u�dertaken as an amendment to the Comprehensive Pian. Amending the Compre-
hensive Plan was more defensible, since it ensured enough public hearings so
that any action taken wouldn't be considered arbitrary and capritiaus. But
Franklin noted that Seott was right in that the City Council must determine
if the basic ideas of the policy statement are important enough to warrant
regulatory restrietians.
Horowitz said that an interesting outgrowth of this problem was that in other
cities, property values have actually risen for land because the land had
greater natural beauty when it was given an environmental concern categoriza-
tion. Jordan disagreed saying it cost more to build then. Horowitz
responded that the land resale value then went up.

Horawitz said that the City should first designate publicly owned land as
environmentally sensitive and leave private land alane for the time being.
Scott agreed, saying this aas the way to establish a track record for areas
designated as environmentally fragile.
Jordan concurred. Franklin pointed out that the impetus for forming the
Committee came fran development on private land.
Scott noted that the issue raised before the City Council was because af
environmental damage with respect to private land. The question that Scott
felt the City Council must first give direction to is the reality of the
City's Nillingness to purchase private property if that becomes a requirement
in carrying out this environmental policy.
Franklin stated that first the Commission must deal with policy concepts,
that is, if the enviranmental action was a goad idea. She noted that there
was no need to look at all the particular methods of implementation at this
time. It is after the preliminary stage that the Commission Nill have to
address the actual implementation questions, such as the purchase of land.
Horowitz asked when this question would formally cane before the Planning and
Zoning Cammission.
Franklin responded that the City Council is scheduled to laok at the policy
statement next week.
Scott said if the Commission gets it on a referral basis then the Commission
would take it in order; but if the Commissian got it with a priority state-
ment, then the poliey statement would be taken up first.
Jordan concluded the diseussion by noting that the poliey behind the plan was
a good idea but the problems wi11 be with specific cases.
Jordan moved that the meeting be adjourned. Norowitz seconded the motion.
The motion carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 8:06 p.m.

Pierce King of the Environmental Concerns Committee of the Chamber of
Commerce stated that the Committee is revtewing the sign ordinance and has
had some discussion on it.
Jones asked about signs/plaques that would designate an area as a local
historic district.
Moen stated that a conversation with Jim Brachtel of the Traffic Engineering
Oivision revealed that an 18 by 12 inch "Histaric District" sign located
right below the street sign would be the most economical. She stated this
sign would cost approximate7y S8. A 24 by 30 inch free-standing slgn would
be about ;15. Brown-colored signs would be available but would be more
expensive. 4anderWoude said that he would prefer a better looking sign.
Nowysz explained to Mr. King that presently only two neighborhoods have 6een
designated as local historic districts. She said that the north side
residential and north side commercial areas are both proposed laca7 historic
districts. She thanked Mr. King for the Chamber's support.
DISCUSSION OF FORMAT ANO CONTENT OF NORTH SIDE VIUEOiAPE:
Nowysz stated that when the videotape was produced that the Chamber of
Crnmerce could possibly use it for promotional material for fowa City.

personnel office has been consulted in regard to hiring a production coordi-
nator, an assistant, and a narrator.

Maen emphasized the need to give some direction to the production coordinator
but to allow some flexibility also. She stated that the videotape could
identify the procedure of designating an historic district as well as
demonstrate sensitive restoretion projects. The tape is to be infarmative and
to make the viewers more observant of and sensitive to historic preservation.
OISCUSSION OF 1984 AWAR�S PROGRAM:
The Commission discussed the application form far the 1984 Historic Preserva-
tian Awards Program and made recommendations as ta format changes. Nowysz
stated that a list had been cdnpiled of owners of some restored structures

application farms could be put out at Nagle's and possibly at the Building
Inspection desk at the Civic Center. She said announcements woutd be put in
the paper and on radio.
Nowysz stated that she spoke with saneane fran the north side who would
attend the next meeting of the Historic Preservation Commiss9an. She feels
the residents need to be told when to get the ball rolling and feels it may
be too late to get this done before Oecem6er but that January and February
seem to be more of a possibility.
Moen stated that a student has indicated interest in assisting With this
profect and doing some legaork in getting the north side organized. Moen
said that a meeting could be set up with the nucleus group for October 29 at

OISCUSSION OF THE 1984 AWARUS PROGRAM:
Moen stated that Judy McClure, architect with the State Office af Histaric

Nowysz then asked if any entries had been received yet. In response, Moen
answered there were not. Nowysz asked what pubticity had been undertaken.
Moen responded that the Gazette has run an article and a press release had
been issued. Moreover, le�te�s inviting applitants have been sent out to 20
people.
Nowysz continued that there was 17 days until the application period ends
and that there was still a lack of public knowledge. Perhaps, therefore, the
Cammission should decide to delay the date of application closing.
Nowysz asked Skaugstad why he fett people were reluctant to enter.
Skaugstad noted that although the acknowiedgement was important, the Cammis-
sion may Want to consider issuing different kinds of plaques. The publicity
in the paper was important to the award winners, but there seemed not to be
much enthusiasm in the plaque. Nowysz responded that then perhaps they should
put more into the plaque.
Nowysz asked how expensive it is for an applicant to prepare for the awards
canpetition. Skaugstad responded that it was more of a time than a money
thing. They took 15 slides so it wasn't much of an expense, rather it was
just the time. Moreaver, the display at the iibrary was a very positive
force.
Nowysz suggested that staff call the 20 persans who had received mailings and
ask if they would like assistance in canpleting the application forms.
Nowysz stated that the 1983 awards program had brought more attention to the
Comnission than anything that they had done to date.
Skaugstad asked what the chances of getting newspaper coverage were this
year.

Moen pointed out that only Shimek P1ace received pictorial publicity in the
newspaper last year rather than all three winners. Moen continued that she
Wauld check with the Press-Citizen to see if all three of the 1983 winners
could get newspaper coverage.
Moen at this point offered a proposition that the Cortmission extend the date
for applicants until Oecember 4; that the Press-Citizen be contacted to see
what kind of coverage it would provide; tha sf—�ffca n�he 20 peaple who had
been sent letters to see if they were displaying any interest. If no
interest was shown by December 4, then the Cortmission at that point could
consider Nhether to postpane the event further or cancel it altagether.
Blank made the motion that the applicatian date be extended to Oecember 4.
Skaugstad seconded. This motian carried unanimously.
Skaugstad inquired as to whether anyone on the City staff could photograph
the structures sudnitted by the applicants. Moen pointed out that with
respect to the filming and processing it aas a budgetary question. Jones
stated that the phatogrephing and pracessing services should be extended to
all who call and appiy and that this be advertised in the paper, at least if
it's feasible budget wise. Moen stated that 7-10 photas of each property
should be sufficient ahich would allorr for photographing four properties per
rol L
Motion was made, if budgetarily feasible, that a staff person would take as
many as nine photographs/slides per property, process the fi7m, and attach
the best photos/slides to the applications. This motion carried unanimously.
Nowysz asked whether an ad asking for applications should be taken out this
year. Moen responded that some advertisements were already out, such as on
City buses. Blank moved that if the budget allows, that a display ad
informing the public of the 1984 awards program and asking for applicants be
taken. Jones seconded the motion. The motion was carried unanimously.
DISCUSSION ON THE PROPOSED NORTH SIOE RESIUENTIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT:
Moen stated that meetings with the residents of the area shoa that they would
like to establish the neighborhood as an historic district. Indeed, the
residents want to inelude areas uest of Dubuque which are zoned as high
density mu1t1-family. Moen feared the economic disincentives ta rehabi7itate
structures in a high density mu7ti-family residential zone, as she feels that
oNners will want to tear down existing structures and replace them with high
density residential 6uildings. Also, Moen noted that the residents want to
include the areas east of Gilbert Street and south of Church Street to be
included in the historic area. She asked if Comm9ssion members were aware of
any more dialogue at this time.
Nowysz stated that publlc support was critical and that they can count on
sororities. VanderWoude expressed his concern that the Historic Preservatian
Comnission's anti-development attitude.here could confllct with other City
pro-development views. Ne stressed the need to get a consistent City
position. Nowysz countered that they have the support of single-family
owners here.

Jones pointed out that there still seemed some confusion on what ta add to
the area and what not ta. He stated that he would like to see a petition
from the neighborhood indicating its support for whatever boundaries the
Cortmission decides on.
Nowysz pointed aut that the expansions were feasible except for the area west
of OubuQue which could cause more harm than good. Janes agreed that expan-
sion into west Dubuque could in fact feopardize the rest of the plan. Jones
reminded representatives af the Planning 8 Zoning Cammission's attitude on
designating too great of an area for historic preservation. Blank agreed
stating that the Planning 8 Zaning Commission had expressed that it wanted
the Histaric Preservation Cortmission to be more specific in its regulations
rather than regulate broad general areas. Jones stated that was his own
opinion and probably that of the Commission's to proceed aith the historic
expansion if the Commission gets the necessary documentation fran the public.
REVIEW OF PROPOSED SIGN OROINANCE:
Moen stated that the Commission tabled review of the proposed sign ordinance
until it had the opportunity to review the historic elements of the ardinance
in the context of the entire sign ordinance. She noted that the Planning 8
Zoning Comnissian had set a public hearing to discuss the ordinance on
Oecember 6th. Thus, the Cammission also has the aption at that time to make
its position known.
Jones moved to take the sign ordinance review off the table so it could be
discussed by the Caimission. Skaugstad seconded the motion. The motion
carried unanimously.
Blank, also a manher of the Planning 8 Zoning Commission, stated that the
Planning S Zoning Cammission had closely scrutinized the ordinance and that
they were still working on it. She felt that the Historic Preservation Can-
mission should thus give her any suggestions they might have.
Nowysz expressed her concern a6out the description of a monument sign,
pointing out that the ordinance permitted sueh a sign to be located in RNC-20
zones. She felt'that it might not be appropriate ta have a monument sign
mounted Within a canservation zone.
Blank promised to bring it up at the Planning 8 Zoning Cammission meeting.
Jones made a motian that the Historic Preservation Comnission is favorably
inclined toward the changes made in the propased sign ardinance and that it
wished further discussion on locating monuments in RNC-20 zanes. Skaugstad
seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.
Moen stated that the suggestion was made at the last meeting and that she
wanted direction as to whether it shauld be taken up now or if the Cortmission
wanted to proceed more slowly.

Skaugstad pointed out the problem of finding storage space to house salvaged
material. Moen then pointed out that the Comm ssion could serve as a
clearinghouse operation so that it would not need warehouse space.
Nowysz, following the idea of a clearinghouse operation, pointed out that the
Old Brick News could be used. Also,, she knew of a person interested in doing
is oric c earinghouse work as a private business. Blank agreed that it was
better to undertake such an operation as a private business, otherWise she

CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS
MEMBERS PRESENT: Fisher, Randall, Slager, Barker
MEMBERS ABSENT: VanderVelde
STAFF PRESENT: Boyle, Franklin, OeVolder, Boothroy
CALL TO ORDER:
Barker called the meeting to order at 4:35 P.M.
UISCUSSION OF ENFORCEMENT OF BOARO ACTIONS:
Franklin reviewed the enforcement discussions of previous Board meetings.
Barker expressed his concern about the nature and extent of enforcement
action by the staff. He solicited Board comnents to focus their concern.
He expressed his concern that he did not want to unduly burden the staff
with research problems.
Boothray clarified enforcement procedures, pointing out that aften the
resolution of zoning enforcement cases is held up in litigation.
Barker stated that the Board would like to be apprised of staff enforee-
ment proeeedings. He asked if there was a system of bringing variance
denials to the enforcement staff so that the matter could be handled in a
timely manner.
Boothroy responded that zaning violations are reported by citizens ar the
staff and are put on record; notice is sent to the property owner of the
violation. The violating party can appeal to the Board if it chooses to
do so. Once a decision is given by the Board, the staff takes appropriate
action. Boathroy stated that the enforcement department is instituting
procedures to address the issue of enforcement and that feedback to the
Baard will be provided by the pianning staff on a six month basis.
Barker again stated this would be useful if it doesn't overburden the
staff.
Randall asked if the Board would be informed of the status of every case.
Franklin said that the review w111 occur on al1 cases that have been
befare the 8oard during the previous six months. The staff will inform
the Board af the status of each case at this time.
Barker thanked Boothroy for his report.
SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS:

Franklin noted a letter from Shinn's attorney requesting a two year
extensian on 'the special exception granted at the last meeting was
included in the staff report. Franklin noted that the Baard has the
authority to grant an extension under Sectian 36-91(e)(5) of the
2oning Ordinance.
Barker asked if the Board wished to have any discussion.
Slager stated that she hated ta see a precedent set for an extensian
without having given consideration of good cause. She asked if a fee
would 6e necessary for an extension grant.
Franklin responded that if the extension was granted within the six
month period of the Board's decisian then a fee need nat be paid.
Slager asked Shinn's attarney when constructian was due to begin.
!nn Ho Shin's attorney, David Poula, responded that it aould not be
possible ta start construction this year or during next spring or
fall. The main problem delaying construction seemed to be the current
15X interest rates.
Slager responded that a one year or a six month extensian would be
reasonable.
Poula responded that a ane year extension would bring them into next
fall but it all depended on the interest rates at that time.
Slager responded then that all applicants Nould aant an extension due
to interest rate uncertainties. 5lager noted that the Code imposed a
six month limit. She felt that there should 6e a reason beyond the
market interest rate to delay construction.
Slager stated that she believed that a two year period was just too
long.
Slager moved on application 5E-8418 that an extension to the special
exception be granted for a six month period only. Randall seconded
the motion. The motion carried unanimausly.
2. SE-B420. Public hearing on an application submitted by Hills Bank b
Trust Co, for an amended applicatian for a special exception to permit
a second monument sign in a CC-2 zone.
Franklln noted that the appiicant originally applied for a variance.
At the last Board meeting, the option of a special exception was
discovered. The motion to grant a var9ance was tabled and continue�.
Hills Bank wishes to place a second monument sign on its property to
enhance its visibility to travelers on Highway 6. Normally, only one
monument sign is permitted in a CC-2 zane. Also, since Hills Bank is
located on a torner lot, they say that the setond sign is needed for
visibility.

Franklin noted that the staff cancern was that it was necessary to
ensure the sign was set back enough to maintain visibility on the
highway. She continued that CC-2 zoning has no specific sign setback
requirements. She noted that if a setback was maintained, then
visibility would not be a prablem far a second monument sign. Moreo-
ver, in a11 other respects, the sign would conform to CC-2 zoning. She
noted that the staff recommends approval.
Public �iscussion:
There was no public discussion on the issue.
Board Oiscussian:
Barker asked if the Board had

Trust at 1401 6i16ert Street to permit the erection of a second
monument sign on the northeast corner of the 7ot, as shoun on the plan
sudnitted. Randall seconded the mot7on. The Board unanimously voted
in favor of the motion.
3. SE-8421. Public hearing on an application submitted by New Pioneer
oL aperative far a special exception to permit parking in the floadway
overlay zone within 30 feet of the Ralston Creek 6ank.
Franklln distri6uted photos of the site. She noted that the Coopera-
tive is currently renting the property. Also, the Salvation Army, a
TV repair shop and formerly a storage area for a roofing canpany were
located in the buitding. The property is currently nonconforming in
terms of parking canpllance. Barker noted that the Cooperative is ex-
panding by less than 50X of its current area so it only needs to
provide seven new parking spaces. The only place these parking spaces
can be located is on the fioadway. The area is currently paved and
used for parking, although it does not conform to the design standards
for parking.
Franklin summarized the staff report. She noted the specifics of the
fload standards. She pointed out that the Parking uould be far short-
term during the business day; it wou7d not be residential parking, and
there woutd be no overnight vehicular storage an the parking area.
However, should the 8oard decide to grant the exception, the staff
suggested that a warning sign of the dangers of flooding be placed on
the parking lot. Franklin went on to state that a prablem could exist
with materials being swept downstream in times of flooding. She
stated that sanitatian is not a problem. She noted that the City
Engineer suggested the ftood waters could range anywhere fran two to
six feet in height and that two feet would be sufficient to move
vehieles. However, no ftooding of the property had occurred to date or
a3.� 6

at least was not reported. Any damage to vehicles caused by flooding
should be covered by the vehicle's insurance. Franklin continued that
alternative parking was not available on the site and that parking in
nearby places such as the Recreation Center was not feasible betause
those parking lots are usually full. Thus, it was the staff's recan-
mendation to grant the special exception an the condition that a
warning sign be placed. Again, the main reason for this was the
short-term, daytime nature of the parking.
Public Discussian:
There was no public discussion on the issue.
Board Oiscussion:
Bar•ker asked if the parking permit should be limited ta the particular
applicant, New Pioneer Cooperative.
Franklin said that the special exception Nas just for New Pionner
Cooperative.
Barker felt that the Board should set forth that the permit would be
only good for the particular applicant. Barker then asked if the
flood hazard at the proposed site was similar to the Chauncey SNan-
� Civic Center lot.
Franklin did not know the elevation of that lot so she couldn't meke a
canparisan.
Barker noted that the flooding at those lots would not stop at the 30
foot limit and thus there could be a flooding problem an the City-
owned lots.
Franklin pointed aut that Mr. Glasgaw, the owner of the entire
property where New Pioneer Cooperative is located, was aware of the
application and consented to the parking lot use.
Randali moved to grant a special exception to New Pioneer Cooperative
for parking within 30 feet of the Raiston Creek bank on the condition
that a sign warning of flaod potentiai be placed on the property and
that the particular exceptian be limited only ta the applicant, New
Pianeer Cooperative. Slager seeonded the motion. The motion carried
unanimously.
4. 5E-8422. Public hearing an an application submitted by Sandra Eskin,
i7iliowwind School, for a special exception to permit a school for
private generallzed instruction in an RNC-20 zane, and special
exceptions to modify the parking requirements and the front yard
requirements.

Franklin pointed out that Willowwind wished to move to the neN South
Johnson Street location for the following reasons: its proximity to
the downtawn and instructional facilities such as the library, and its
convenient location near two bus routes which would provide access.
Franklin continued that a special exception was needed since the
Johnson Street property was located in an RNC-20 zoning area. Also,
Yillowwind wished to provide parking in the frant yard. Franklin
noted that currently the building was nonconforming but no parking Nas
provided to City specifications. Also, the rear yard was 13 feet
rather than the required 20 feet of the zaning ordinance. Franklin
continued that 8 parking spaces would be required for the school and
two apartments an the site although none were provided currently. The
two apartments sharing the Johnson Street property Nould need four
parking spaces and the school would need four. Franklin pointed out
the Zoning Ordinance provision providing that if ane converted a use
and no parking spaees were availabie previously, then the new use need
provide aniy the difference, The difference is between what was
previously required, in this case six, and what is now required, in
this case eight. That is, two spaces are now required. Moreover, any
other spaces that can 6e physically provided up to the eight require-
ments should be provided. Franklin pointed aut that the schaol can
provide five spates if it is permitted to encraach upon th? required
front yard. Nillowwind did not wish to provide any parking spaces on
other parts of the iot as this would foree them to take out large
trees located on the lot.
Franklin cantinued that the house was a historic structure, and is
considered a key structure in the area. Franklin noted that the
Historic Preservation Comnission supports the school's application for
the speeial exception. MilloNwind did nat want to change the appear-
ance of the lot to provide parking and diminish the integrity of the
historic structure.
Franklin pointed out that there was a question regarding the appropri-
ateness of the use: whether the specific private institution would be
a detriment ta the public welfare. The staff noted that there was a
possibility of traffic congestion on Johnson Street due to the
dropping off of children at the school. The Traffic Engineer had
rejected the ldea af a loading zone based on the need for parking on
Johnson Street.
Fisher asked whether Nillowwind would have to provide more parking
spaces if it vialated the front yard zoning requirements.
Boyle noted his position that the ordinanee would require Willowwind
to provide only two spaces.
Randall pointed out that as he reads the ordinance, if a tree, for
instance, interferes with the parking requirement, that the tree must
go.
Boyle agreed with Randall's interpretation.
� 33�

Franklin responded that Willowwind is saying that five spaces are
reasonable and that they want to guard against destroying the yard. `
Randall pointed out that four parking spaces could be provided without
encroaching upon the required front yard.
Franklin responded that this was only a viable option if some of the
Johnson Street green space aas taken.
Franklin subnitted a copy of the larger plan which Barker put in as
Exhiblt A. Franklin then distributed a letter submitted by faur
neighbors of the property, supporting the exception for the following
reasans - because of the school's toncern with the integrity of the
neighborhood, aith Willawwind's concern for the site's historic
preservation and upkeep, with its thoughtful development, and finally
for the stability that the schoal would provide for the block.
Franklin concluded that the staff recommends approval of the special
exception.
Pub7ie Discussion:
Sandra Eskin, a board member of Willowwind School, expressed her
agreement with the presentation of the staff report. She noted that
N111owwind was determined to do its best to meet all of the ordinance
requirements.
Barker noted that Willowwind was presently in a residential district
and that it had been there for 13 years. He asked Eskin if there were
any problems which influenced Nillowwind to decide to move out of the
residential area.
Eskin responded in the negative and noted that Willowwind hoped to go
to another residential district for they got along we11 with the
residents of the neigh6orhood. Moreover, the mave was forced because
of M111owwind's need for a larger facility. She cited that they have
grown from 11 original students to 30 students turrently.
Fisher asked how the f9ve spaces would be used.
Eskin responded that they haven't thought specifically a6out that yet,
but since the school was open only fran 8 to 5 on weekdays during the
times when the tenants were generally gone, then schaol officials
would probably use the perking spaces during school haurs while
residents would use them at night.
Fisher asked whether the problem of dropping off students would
present any hazards. Eskin responded that they were a sma11 school
and readily accessi6le by public transportation. Indeed, only a small
portian of the students were driven to class by their parents.
Moreover, the Traffic Engineer had expressed his opinion to Eskin that
on days when there was no parking on V1111owwind's side of the street,
a 3.��
Board of Adjustment
November 14, 1984
Page 7
it would be irrelevant whether the school had a loading zone ar not,
and on other days, the property's driveway space, which was 20 feet
wide was enough space to allow parents to drop their chi7dren off and
not {nterfere with the traffic flow.
Randall expressed his opinion that it looked difficult to maneuver
into the parking spaces as shown on Exhibit A.
Eskin respanded that they asked to extend parking into the front yard
to allow far more maneuverability. Moreover, the parking meets the
City design standards.
Gearge Swisher, a resident of the neighborhood, spoke in support of
Willowwind's application. Swisher expressed his opinion that Nillow-
wind would be a good use for the building, that Nillowwind,would
present a good local use for the following reasons: that Nillowwind
was compatib7e and would preserve the character of the neighborhood,
Willowwind would add five new parking spaces ta the neighborhood with
the staff using the parking spaces during the day and the tenants
using them at night, and Nillowwind Nrould not present undue noise and
traffic probiems or other negative uses which would harm the character
of the neighborhood. Moreover, Swisher pointed out that the driveway
was wide enough so that there was plenty of room for dropping off
children and have service vehic7es unload without disrupting the
traffic f1aN of Johnson St.
Barker at this time asked if there was any public opposition to the
application.
There was no opposition.
Board Discussion:
Randall pointed out that Noward Jones' testlmonial letter introduced
into the record did not mention the issue of parking spaces. Randall
asked whether Jones was aware of the plan.
Eskin presumed that Jones had seen the plan. Indeed, there was anly
one ather ptan that did not have the parking spaces extended as they
were in Exhibit A of the present plan and she doubted that Jones had
seen that plan.
Barker pointed out, given Jones' description of the building, that it
was probable that he had seen the current plans.
Slager rtaved that the Board grant the special exceptian an application
5E-8422 to Vlillowwind School to permit a school for generalized
private instruction in an RNC-20 zone and that a special exception to
reduce the number of required parking spaces fran 8 to 5 be granted,
and the modification of the front yard requirement on Burlington St.
from 20 feet to 8 feet be granted according to the plan as shown in
Exhibit A. Randall seconded the motian. The motion carried unani-
mously.

UPDATE ON PROPOSALS FOR 1985 COBG FUNDING:
Lauria noted� the presence of Councilman Ernie Zuber who, Lauria said, might
be able to answer questions members may have regarding Council's recomnenda-
tians to CCN on the projects in question. Lauria reported that Counci7, in
its informal meeting Monday, November 19, had approved the CCN allocatians
per the 1985 CDBG Project Funding Requests for Housing Modifications for
Low/Moderate Income, Frail/Elderly (Elderly Services Agency); Shared Housing;
Housing Rehabilitation and Neatherization; North Market Square Handicapped
Play Area, and Improved Handicapped Accessibility to Mark IV/WiltoNcreek
Neigh6orhood Center, CCN recomnendations of COBG funds for the
Miller/Orchard Neighborhood Park Acquisition; Transportation Van (Handicare),
and Creekside NIA Sidewalk Project were also approved informally by Council.
Lauria reported that although Council and City Manager are in strong support
of the concept of the Wanen's Transit Authority (WTA), Council prefers not to
include this request in 1985 COBG funding but to talk more about it and try
to find a better way to handle this item. Council may ask far CCN input
later on the NTA. Lauria said Counci7 appears to be split on the funding
request for Consolidated Services Facility (MECCA), but it is clear Council
does not Wish to fund this request at the fu11 5100,000, preferring that CCN
discuss funding MECCA at a lesser amount.
Council does not want to consider the request for funds for the Community
Support Service Rddition (Mid-Eastern Iawa Community Mental Health Center).
Council gave no reason for its position. Lauria said he asked Council, at a
later date, to provide on paper sane reason for its position an this item in
order to facilitate communication. Council okayed funding requests for the
GoodNill Industries Renovation, General Program Administration and the
Contingency Fund. Council also asked that CCN consider increasing the
funding of profects which were approved by CCN for less than the full amount
of the request (i.e., Goodwill and CreeksideJ,
Council feels that City Park accessibillty should 6e funded. Council
requested that items including: Ralston Creek Improvements/Creekside;
Longfellow Playground; property Acquisition and Clearance; Miller/Orchard
Park Oevelopment, and Consoiidated Human Services Facility (United Nay), be
reprioritized and a budget recommended for consideration and approval by
Council at its meeting this evening. The monies allocated by CCN far
projects not approved by Council must, therefore, be reallocated to projects
which Council prefers to see funded. The total sum to be reconsidered is
f192,340, which includes the figure for the contingency fund. Lauria also
stated that Council was not interested in funding projects including the
Creative Arts Troupe; Minority Comnittee Request (Whirlpool); Ralston Creek
Park; Spruce Street Storm Sewer profect, and School House Park.
Becker asked for a clarification from Councilman Zuber an the Council's
reasons for denying the request for the Mid-Eastern Iowa Comnunity Mental
Health Center. Zuber sa7d it was his understanding that Council did not feel
this was an appropriate way to spend the money; i.e. to fund an agency which
has not received CDBG assistance in the past. Zuber said this was not a new
policy. Lauria requested for the record that Council send a written cortmuni-
cation explaining this policy for future reference, and possibly for Council
to reconsider this policy. Lauria said comnunity needs change, and CCN
a 33�
Comnittee on Camnunity Needs
November 20, 1984
Page 3
operates an practically the opposite palicy; that when a group comes back
again and again to CCN for funding, the Cammittee gets tired of hearing from
that group, Lauria said that if CCN decides to give MECCA the same funding
allocatian it had previously recomnended, it should pravide Council with a
list of very good reasans why this was done. Zuber said Councilman Erdahl
was most outspoken that funding of the Mid-Eastern Iowa Comnunity Mental
Nealth Center should not be done by the City, but should be done by a
different level of government.
Lauria then called for the Committee to reprioritize the items suggested far
reconsideretion by Council. Williams asked for discussion on the City Park
Accessibility Project. Parden recortmended allocating the full arnount
requested, f35,000. Kubby suggested reprioritizing the item. Patrick said
some members felt that the City should take care of this item. Lauria said
the City is going to do it, and they Nant to use CDBG funds. Nilliams asked
Whether this Committee is required to do what it is told or to make recommen-
dations. Following discussian, it was agreed to inciude the 535,000 figure
in the amount of maney available for reprioritizing, making the total
5221,340.
The projects to be reprioritized were discussed and given the folloWing
rankings:
Ralston Creek Im rovements/Creekside - Parden stated she thought this praject
was one w ch CN was go ng to postpone. Lauria said his understanding was
that CCN had propased an annual ciean-up of the creekbed fran contingeney
funds. This proposal, however, is nat for that purpose. Lauria said that
if the Commlttee wishes to do that, then an additianal suggestion should be
made to use contingency funds. If the proposal under discusston is funded,
it wi11 be for Phase I of III as per the original proposal. The proposal
received one high ranking, and nine low for a total of 12 points.
Cit Park Accessibilit - Five high rankings, three medium and two low gave
this pro,7ect a to a o 23 points.
Longfellow Playqround - Patrick said as a resident of the neighborhood, she
could not see a need for this proposal. Deb Schoelerman, representing the
Longfelloa Parent-Teachers' Assoe7ation, said that their feeling was that
since the playground is used heavily by pre-schoolers, equipment for the
pre-schoolers is needed. Further discussion ensued on whether this project
shouid rightfully be funded by the School Board, Parks and Recreation, City
Council or some other entity. The vote was one high ranking, seven medium
and two low for a total of 19 points.
Pra ert Clearance and Ac uisition - This relates to acquisition and clear-
ance o a proper y a ou a nson, part of the foundation of Nhich is
obstructing the flow of Ralston Creek. Two high, two medium and six low
rankings gave this 16 total points.

part was that this Nas probab y premature. Two members were in favor of a
high priarity for this project and eight in favar of a low one and the total
was 14 points. Later, following other discussion, one vote was changed fran
high to low, bringing the total down to 12.
Consolidated Numan Services Facilitv (United Wav) - Lauria said that there
was sane sentiment an the Council to do this project, but also significant
opposition to doing it right now, without a study. The proposal received two
medium priority votes and eight low for 12 total points.
Consolidated Services Facilitv (MECCAI - Becker asked if the funding were
reduced fran the proposed f100,000, what the effect would be on the project.
Art Schut Director of MECCA stated there would be serious problems with being
able to do it at all. State funds received by MECCA are restricted fran
6eing used for building, property ar equipment. State money and cllent
incane are restricted by the Code of Iowa fran being used for anything but
direct client treatment, and the use of those funds must be dacumented. This
leaves only the City and County as possible funding sources far this project.
Schut said residents of Iowa City make up the largest group of users of MECCA
services. The County is being asked for 5200,000 of the 5620,000 total needed
for this profect and CDBG funds in the amount of E100,000 are requested from
CCN. Kubby stated that she feels this is an important project for CCN to
support with the amount CCN originally recortmended. She continued that this
recomnendation is 6ased an the general policy of the Council not to fund
operating costs, and that historically CDBG funds have been used for capital
expenditures. Becker pointed out that there is also the contingency that
MECCA must cane up with the rest of the funding by September in order to
receive the CDBG money. 411th eight members giving this item a high rank, two
voting medium and none low, MECCA received a total of 25 points. Lauria said
the Comnittee might want to request sane information fran Council at a later
date cancerning the use of the 5% liquor tax on a one-time-anly basis for
substance abuse.
6aodwill Industries Renovation - Application by Goodwill to finance a portion
of Phase I of a three-phase facillty improvement program with CUBG funds
received six high priority votes, one medium renk and two low, with Becker
abstaining, for a total of 23.3 points.
Creekside NIA Sidewalk Pro'ect - Funding of this profect would facilitate
s ewa cons ruct on on Seventh Avenue Court and repair and construction of
sidewalks on 14uscatine Avenue. Twenty total points were recorded on the
basis of three high rankings, four medium and three low.
Following voting on priority renking af the projects, discussion and voting
proceeded on amounts to be allacated to the various projects.
MECCA - Moved by Kubby and seconded by Becker that CCN recomnend funding •in
��'u11 E100,000 amaunt requested. Eight for, two against. Motian passed.
Goodwill - Moved by Smith and seconded by Ililliams that this project be
funded n the original amount recortmended by CCN (E100,000) and with the same
contingency as originally stated relating to the status of the Congregate

Cit Park - Moved by Logan and seconded by Parden that this project be given
fu funding at 535,000. In response to a questian from Smith, Lauria said
his understanding is that if CCN does not vote to fund, the Council may
allocate that money anyway. Becker asked where the E35,000 figure had cane
from. Hencin said it is based on an estimate from the Finance �epartment and
includes materials and supplies only. Four votes were recorded in favor and
four against. Smith abstained for the reason that she doesn't feel her vote
means anything in view of the Council's position. Logan also abstained.
Lauria havi�g voted in favor, the tie could not be broken, but Lauria stated
that motion carried.

to eliminate blight on the city and feels this maney would be well spent in
this manner. Having received only two votes in favor, while eight voted
against the proposal, the motion failed. .
Mi11er/Orchard Park'Oevelopment - Kubby moved this project be funded with the

Lauria suggested at this point, since discussion indicated no interest in
voting on the remaining proposals, that he woutd entertain a motion for sane
amount for Ralston clean up and any funds not allocated following that motian
be assigned to a contingency fund. Smith moved to increase funding to

demonstrated need; 2) there are no capital funds available and MECCA is also
seeking 5200,000 fran the County far this project; 3j Iowa City residents
comprised: 95.SX of recipients of prevention services of MECCA; 74.1% of
residential services; and 81X of outpatient services in FY83. It was alsa
pointed aut that, in the past, CCN has funded projects which have been for
special housing purposes such as Hillcrest Family Services, the Emergency
Housing Project and the Domestic Violence Project, all of which met special
housing needs that could not be met through other funding sources. This
project daes have a strong housing component and is not just an office
building for an agency. Cortmittee members also noted that it is proposed
that this facility will increase service to women by providing residential
care whith is not currently offered. An additional argument is that the City
receives liquar tax revenue and should be wil7ing to pay a dividend on that
incane. Kubby added that one of the objections to the Wanen's Transit
Authority project was that it serves anly women, while this project wi17
provide services to both genders.

NOVEMBER STATUS REPORTS:
Human Services A encies - Leshtz referred to the memo to the Comnittee.
Les tz sa t at a thoug it is unclear what the link is between CCN and the
United Way agencies, there was value in the Comnittee sending a representa-
tive to hearings of their funding process. This helps keep the CCN in touch
with those agencies and may heip to guide the CCN in evaluating requests for
funding fran them. Leshtz said the funding process is a long ane and
requested an additianal member of CCN to volunteer to attend some of the
meetings in case Leshtz was unable to attend. Patrick volunteered.
Benton/Orchard Storm Drainaae - Moen referred to a memo from Rick Fosse and a
supplementary one fran herself. The Engineering Division, Moen said, has
determined the cost of the praject at f763,000. This would be a four-phase

project. Phases II and I4 appear ta be the most critical. Phase II was
estimated to cost E164,000 of ahich it is anticipated 5135,000 wi11 6e
requested of CCN from CD86 funds to undertake this project, according to the
latest proposed Capital Improvements Plan, Moen said. In response to a
question from Lauria, Hencin explained that each division is required to
identify suqgested sources af funding, but Council makes the final decision.
Moen said the balance of f29,000 for that phase of the project would come
fran operating revenue funds. Moen said the Cortmittee may anticipate getting
a request for this project. Phase IY, Moen said, comes in at 5178,000.
Engineering proposes to fund E108,000 of that amount fran general obligatian
bonds with the balance of f70,000 to come from COBG funds. Phases I and III
were not included in the Capital Improvements Plan which covers the period
from 1986 to 1990.
Lauria said his recollection was that CCN thought the City should laak into
this but that the Comnittee didn't think it was appropriate for CDBG funds.
Following discussian, Kubby moved and Patrick seconded that CCN recomnend to
Council that although this is an impartant item, the Comnittee does not
consider it appropriate for CDBG funding and that when it comes time to fund
it, that funding be found elsewhere. The motion passed on nine votes in
favor, one against.

To the City Council of Iocaa City,
Uecember 18, 1984
We are an older neighborhood with a mixture of
elderly� single persons, handicapped persons, and
young families in their first,homes. �f all 320
households (670 residents), the top priority is a
neighborhood �ark.
�de are in Open Space District Five and have an
open space deficit of 11.26 t�cres. 'fhe nroposed
Miller Yark is part of the last green space in the area,
end the location is excellent for an active walk-in
neighborhood park - complete with trees.
�d� sper�k for our needs and of those living iii the
service area cf the pArk. 'Chere are many multifamily
dcaellings in cLose'proximity. According to the 1980
Census, the p+�rk wr,uld serve 3,7.73 penple in the
immediate area. Gur need is now. This need will
incrense as surrounding lend is developed, as zoned,

'1'he totals to date are �102,550 CUdG funding, caith
the City funding $42,550. This total of $145,100
is approximately 3�4 of the monies needed, We realize
the price is great, but with 3102,550 rf CDBG funding
the City �oould, in one resnect, be getting the park
at z price.
The original design of ihe Park has changed and the
acrer,ge has drogped f rom S acres to 4.4 acres. We urge
the City Council to acquire a new appraisnl of the
proposed D(iller Park land. The apPraisai �oill bc lower

We implore the City Council to fund the remaining
money needed as shown oy a new 3pnraisal. We trust the

Members of the City Council:
We have observed, with increasing dismay, that the changes in the allowable uses
and use restrictions imposed by the 1983 Zaning Ordinance and the Air Port Overlay
Zones, hnve substentially reduced the potential options that mey have been
avallable Por the redevelopment of our property at 465 Iowa Hlghway 1 West.
The property was purchased in 1978 and was converted Yrom a vacant car-wash to an
tofthe ProntiaT theUexisting1buildinE forThighwaYewideningtandaProntage�roady UP
purposes.
The zoning nt the tlme the property was purchesed and at the time of the Nighway 1
improvements wns C-2, under wiiich there were many development options and there
wes no front yard requirement. Under the 1983 Zothus makingnthetbuildingrnonWas
Zoned CC-2, which requires a 20 foot Pront yard,
conforming, and the allowable use optians for the property �nder that zoning have
been signlficently reduced from what had been previously avnilabeS'long asditsS$nd
thut though a non-conYorming building m¢y be allowed to remain, We feel
not made more non-conPorming or it is not substantially damuged. However,
that the r,reation of a non-conformity is e substantial taking of property rights.
The restrictions imposed by the revisions to the Airport Overlay Zones heve
further reduced the allowa6le use options to the point where it will be very
dSfPicult, if not impossible, to lease or redevelop the property if the current
tenents were to to deCide to reloCate.
We feel thnt tlic substantinl reduction oP potential use options nnd the chenBe in
yerd requirementa thnt makes the building non-conforming� have substantinlly
reduced the vnlue of our property.
Is 1t possible thet some of the current regulations may be relaxed or revised to
more readily eccommodate additionel uses or possible redevelopment oP the
property7 Or is there some other alternative relief that we may seek to reduce
Che impnct of the chanyes thnt have been mede7 We are not contempleting nn

Members of the City Council:
We have observed, with increasing dismay, that the changes in the allowable uses
and use restrictions imposed by the 1983 Zoning Ordinunce and the Air Port Overlay
Zonea, have substantially reduced the potential options that may have been
avnilable for the redevelopment of our property at 465 Iowa NSghway 1 West.
I
! The property was purchased in 1978 and was converted Prom a vacant car-wash to an
� ofPice building. Subsequently the T.D.O.T. purchased additional Right-oP-way, up
to the Pront of the existing building for highway widening and Prontage road
, purposes.
The zoning at the time the property was purchased and at the time oP the Highway 1
improvements was C-2, under wliich there were many development options and there
was no front yard requirement. Under the 1983 Zoning Ordinence the property was
Zoned CC-2, which requires a 20 foot front yard, thus making the building non-
conPorming, and the allowable use options for the property under that zoning have
been significantly reduced from what had been previously available. We understand
that though a non-conforming building may be allowed to remain, as long as it is
not made more non-conPorming or it is not substantially dnmaged. However, we feel
thet the creatlon oP a non-conformity is a substantinl tuking oP property rights.
The restrictions imposed by the revisions to the Airport Overlay Zones heve
fuMher reduced the nllowable use options to the point where it will be very
diPPicult, if not impossible, ta lease or redevelop the property iP the current
tenants were to to deCide to reloCate.
We feel thut the substantinl reduction of potential use optlons and the chunge in
yerd requirements that mnkes the building non-conPorming, huve substantinlly
reduced the value oP our property.
Is it possible thnt some of the current regulations mny be relnxed or revfaed to
more readily eccommadate additional uses or possible redevelopment oP the
property? Or !s there some other alternative relief that we muy seek to reduce
the 7mpact of the changes that have been medeT We are not contempluting nn
impending chenge Sn the current usc of the property, but we would like to know
what options may or may not be availnble to us Sn Che event Chat change Uecomes
necessary.

MEMORANDVM
Date: July 27; 1984
To: Planning and Zoning Cortmission
From: Bruce A. Knight, Associate Planner
Re: Ty'n Cae Subdivision, Part 3- Partial Vacation of the Plat
Attached is a copy of the plat for Ty'n Cae Subdivision, Part 3, showing the area
which the applicant, Dynevor Inc., is requesting the City's consent to vacate.
Chapter 409 of the Iowa Code provides that the proprietor of a plat may vacate
any portion of the p atl— , prior to the sale of relevant lots, with the consent of
the City by recording an affidavit to that affect with the County Recorder
(Chapter 409.18-409.25).
As is noted in the attached letter from Charles Mullen, attorney for the appli-
cant, vacation of the requested portion of the p7at wi11 eliminate five townhouse
lots, a total of 36 units. However; because the townhouse lots were approved by
ordinance as part of a ptanned developnent plan, it wi11 also be necessary for
the applicant to request an amendment of that portion of the plan covering the
area in question. No street right-of-way is involved in this proposal,
Ty'n Cae Subdivision, Part 3 was approved in August, 1983, with a mix of residen-
tial unit types including: zero lot line dwellings, townhouse units and multi-
family units (see attached plan). This mix was allowed through approval of a
planned development plan which permitted the owners to average density over the
entire development (which is now zoned RS-8) The applicant is now proposing to
vacate one of the higher density portions of the plan to allow construction of
more zero lot line units. Because of the change in the ordinance which has
occurred since this plan was originally approved, the zero 1ot line developnent
is now permitted and does not require a planned development p1an. This proposal
will result in a net density reduction for the develoqnent. Staff sees no
problem with the proposed vacation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff reca�eMs that this iten be deferred. Upon aeen�ent of the Planned
Oevelopnent plan, staff ►rould recaniend that consent be given to Dynevor, Inc.,
to vacate Lhat portion of Ty'n Cae Subdivision, Part 3, known as Lots 96A-96E.

Dynevor, Znc. at this period of time is also seeking
a right-of-way vacation for a portion of the Mormon Trek

MEMORANDUM
Date: December 13, 1984
To: City Council
From: Karin Franklin, Senior Planner�
Re: Zoning for Uses Subject to the Proposed Tax Abatement Ordinance
The Tax Abatement Ordinance provides for a partial exemption of property
taxes for industrial properties as defined by the Iowa Code. Generally,
the types of uses which may use the abatement procedure are manufacturing,
warehouses, and distribution centers.
Manufacturing is restricted under the Iowa City Zoning Ordinance to the
I-1 and I-2 zones. Warehouses and distribution centers are permitted in
the CI-1 zone as well as in the I-1 and I-2 zones. Restrictions per-
taining to use and dimensianal requirements are included on the attached
excerpts from the Zoning Ordinance. Developments for these uses are also
subject to the parking requirements of the City, the tree regulations,
storm water management for developments over one acre, regulations
pertaining to industriai waste control, and any other ordinances which may
be applicable to a given development. Performance standards pertaining to
smoke, particulate matter, toxic matter, odor, vibration, glare, sewage
waste, open storage, and screening are also applicable; copies of these
standards are included for your information.
A map highlighting the zones in which these industrial uses may be located
will he available at the informal Council meeting. IJot all of the
properties with9n those zones will qualify for property tax abatement.
The properties must be "qualified real estate" as defined by the Code of
Iowa to be eligible.

Tax Abatement Hearing
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MODEL
The FCDI recommendations for an Iowa City Tax Abatement ordinance
is part of a comprehensive strategy for economic development for
our community. The broader strategy is based on a generally accepted
model of community development which incorporates the following
assumptions.
1. Economic stability of a community is contingent upon the
availability of employment opportunities for the existing
work force and fox yovng people who desire to enter the
work force.
2. Community employment opportunities include jobs in industry/
manufacturing sectors and the non-industrial sector ( in-
cluding agriculture, services and retail classifications).
3. The industrial/manu£acuturing sector contributes a
multiplier effect to the local economic development
through the generation of income to the community which
in turn supports local service and retail businesses.
9. Residential property tax and general revenues in a
community are related to the ability of home owners
and consumers to support their living costs and residential
investments.
� . A cornerstone of the community economic base is dependent upon the
�,' maintenance of industrial jobs which attract external income through .
. the sale of products and services to National and International clients.
� The economic base is also essentially related to the replacement
� of jobs lost through shifting demand and relocation with new jobs.
BUSINESS LOCATION FACTORS
The creation of industrial/manufacturing employment opportunities
in the community is conditioned by the competitive position of
the community relative to selected industry expansion and location
factors.
Factors that influence the location choicea of high-technology com-
panies within regiona in order of cited priority include:
1. Availability of workers 96.18
2. State and/or local tax structure85.59
3. Community attitudes toward 81.99
businass.
4. Cost of property and con- 78.84
struction.
5. Transportation for people 76.18
6. Ample area for expansion 75.48

RELEVANCE OF THE TAX ABATEMENT ORDINANCE TO DECISION FACTORS
The proposed tax abatement ordinance is strategically related
to three of the top four decision factors cited by corporate
hi-tech decision makers.
1. Zt will bring ourproperty tax policy in line with
130 Iowa communities with tax abatement programs
(Factor No#2) .
2. It will communicate a positive community attitude
toward business expansion and development (Factor
No#3)
3. It will help keep property. and construction.costs
for business locations and expansion consistent
with the marketplace.
4. The tax abatement policy £or warehousing and
distribution also relates to Factor #9 the avail-
ability of good transportation for materials and
products (RE: Millard, Heinz, etc.)
A CASE STUDY/STATUS ANALYSIS
The Millard Warehouse request for consideration has a major
potential import to our community. (See Attached) Their proposed
expansion incorporates services to one client earlier mentioned
to the Council. They (Millard) are currently negotiating with a
second client to be served within the proposed expansion. A third
cliont is meeting with them within the next two weeks which could
lead to further expansion di the Millard facility. (A third phase
potantial)
The tax abatement program is related to Millard's to be competitive
wl.th other Iowa and midwestern distribution centers in the negotiation
of rates.
Millard, Heinz, and other Iowa City industries have other corporate facil-
itiea and ''are influenced by cost and profitability factors as well
ae location and quality of life. A decision to expand or locate
elsewhore is an opportunity foregone for our community...eapacially
whon the client is an existing business which knows and appreciates
our community assets. A decision for an existing busineas to expand
in Iowa City is a positive message to other businesses which may
consider ovr community in tho future.
y�r,.. r, i: . . .
s
�j�'f
____.�_ �3 ,
�
1. We are currently involved in an attempt to attract
a major fortune 500 corporation interested in a mid-
western distribution center with £urther plans for
manufacturinq. Their long-term plans would include
in excess of 500 jobs in our community.
, 2. We have just responded to a client interested in con-
tracting with a distribution center to handle their
� products with potential for building their own operation
by 1987.
3. We have within the last two days identified a major
corporation which is contemplating use of existing
Zowa City distribution centers as a trial to potential
construction of their own site in the next five years.
It is very realistic to observe that it is possible that none of
the three psospects cited above will materialize. It is also
sealistic to emphasize that the demonstration of a positive
community commitment to business development and expansion will
measureable'enhance our potential ability to attract these potential
hew employment opportunities to our community.
The Johnson County Board of Supervisors acted this morning to take
the necessary steps to implement the tax abatement program in
Johnson County. Favorable action by the Council will be a very
positive and vital part of our overall community effort.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City of Iowa City
FROM: t9ayne Kern
DATE: December 18� 1984
RE: FRANCHISE FEE INCREASE
__. Question presented: Pursuant to the Cable Communications
Policy Act of 1984, may a city unilaterally increase the cable
television franchise fee from 38 to 5� absent a specific
agreement or ordinance provision permitting it to do so?
The short ansaer to this question is, in my opinion� an
absolute no.
A longer answer, and perhaps a more polite one requires
someWhat further explanation.
i In February of 1984, Heritage Cablevision, Inc. and
� Havkeye CableVision Corporation (through its parent company�
, Americation Television and Communications Corporation)
requested that the cable television franchise for IONa City
be transferred to Heritage Cablevision, Inc. or its nominee,
Cablevision Asaociates VII. That transfer process was
subjected to extensive delays, which were interposed by the
City having a desire, and the right to consider the
possibility of its operating the system under municipal
� ownership, and also insisting upon a strict adherance to the
notice provisions by the grantee.
After numerous phone calls and many meetings, a meeting
was finally held on August 17, 1984, with Messrs. Dale
Helling, David Brown, Bill Terry, and Drew Shaffer attending
on behalf of the City and the Broadband Telecommunications
�� � Committee, and Messrs. Jamea Cownie� Wayne Kern and Bill
Blough attending on behalf of Heritage Cablevision. At this
meeting� extensive discussiona were held over a four and one-
half hour period, during which the City's position was
reviewed in some detail, and the individuals all had an
opportunity to expreas their views.
As an aside, I requested and was fucnished a copy of the
tape recordings of that meeting on Monday, December 17� and
reviewed them Monday afternoon and evening and, in spite of
the fact that Mr. Terry accused me of thinking that they were
a bunch of dumb country bumpkins and that ae were lying
through our teeth about the number and percentage of our
a�G�
-Z-
cable television systems that have tiering, we, in fact, did
not think those gentlemen to be country bumpkins and, more
importantly, from our perspective, Ne were not then, nor are
we now, nor will we in the future� lie through our teeth or
any other part of our anatomy. We, in fact� felt that all of
the individuals from the City represented the City's position
both ably and well.
The end product of that four and one-half hour meeting�
and further negotiations by telephone and exchange of
documents resulted in an agreement between the City of Iowa
City and Heritage Cablevision� dated the 28th day of August,
that provided the basis of the agreement upon which, and
pursuant to which, the City of Ioaa City vas ultimately
willing to agree to the transfer of the franchise from
Hawkeye to Heritage Cablevision, Inc. and/or one of its
limited partnerships.
Heritage Cablevision entered into this agreement even
though its legal advisors informed it that the City had no
right to extract such promises from Heritage in exchange for
the mere approval of the transfec. The City Council and the
Broadband Telecommunications Commission was fully aware that
its legal staff, likewise, did not believe that the City
could extract such promises without being deemed to be
"unreasonably withholding approval of the sale." This advice
to the City was given in a memorandum from Robert Jansen,
City Attorney, and David erown, Assistant City Attorney,
dated March 18, 19U4.
You have before you for consideration a proposed
ordinance that would amend Chapter 14� Article IY� Division 2
of the eroadband Telecommunications Franchise Enabling
Ordinance. Pursuant to this proposed ordinance� the existing
Section 14-73(c) would be repealed and a new provision would
be substituted in its place permitting the City to increase
the franchise fee to be paid pursuant to that Ordinance from
38 to 58. In the preambletory notice of public hearin9 that
accompanied the propoaed amendment, there is an indication
that these chanages have been agreed upon and/or supported by
Heritage Cablevision� Inc. in its agreement with the City of
Iowa City dated August 28, 1984. Heritage Cablevision takes
exception to both the proposed increase and any reference to
the fact that it supports an increase in the franchise fee.
I communicated our disagreement Nith regard to the
City's position in a letter to David Brown dated November 28,
1984� wherein I stated in essence that we did not agcee to
support a unilateral increase in the franchise fee from 38 to
58 by the City.
Article 2.A. of our Au9ust 28 agreement with the City
sets forth in cleac and unambiguous terms the exact agreement
that ae have with the City of iowa City with regard to hoa
�3�%
�
- 3 -
the increase in the franchise fee was to be obtained. That
Section is as follows:
2. FRANCNISE FEE
7+. Upon transfer of the franchise, the grantee
shall support the City in filing a petition
for special relief with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) requesting
a franchise fee waiver to authorize an
annual franchise fee of five percent (58)
of Annual Gross Revenues derived from the
operation of the system, and an extra
services package for the City administered
funding of local access channel oeprations.
The five percent (58) franchise fee shall
become effective upon the date of approval
by the FCC. Said support shall include�
but not be limited to� the submission to
the City by grantee of a letter to the FCC
in support of the requested franchise fee
increase, the text of which has been agreed
upon by the parties and is attached to this
agreement.
It is unfortunate, perhaps, that the waiver is no longer
available from the FCC in that the Cable Communications
Policy Act of 1984 (sometimes referred to as 4103 and 5.66)
terminated the FCC's authority to grant waivers with regard
to franchise fees.
It is, however� this procedure and this procedure only,
that Heritage agreed to. The tapes of the August 17 meeting
make it abundantly clear that the individuals in attendance
at that meeting� on both sides, were well aware of the
potential impact of 4103� if adopted. This legislation, as
well as the status of the laa as it then existed following
the Supreme Court decision in Crisp, and following the FCC's
Nevada decision with regard to tiering, and� in fact spent a
great deal of time during the course of the four and one-half
hour meeting talking about.the right of Heritage Cablevision
, to tier the channel line-up to put the broadcast channels
only on the basic tier and nacrow the City's right to rate
regulation to that basic line-up.
I think a short transcription of a portion of the tape
near the end of this meeting will be helpful. It is as
follows:
COWNIE: I wonder if it would be helpful just to quickly run
through those thinga one more time where you think
we stand and maybe one last two-minute caucus and
a3��
then Wrap it up.
HELLING: You mean these four or do you aant to go through
all these points?
COWNIE: No� no. I9here the agreement is.
HELLING: Okay. The joint petition for five percent. Now
that's obviously with appropriate understandings.
i think we all agree that there is some legislation
in the works that if that passes, you know, that
takes precedence over anything that the FCC might
rule on.
COWNIE: What now? Explain that to me. You mean 41037
HELLING: Yeah -- or if 4103 doesn't pass� Jim, next year
it's going to have another number, you know.
COWNIE: Okay. I just want to understand what you're --
what is implicit -- or what your editorial comment
meant. I don't want to pull the wool over your
eyes or
HELLING: No, I understand. I understand.
COWNIE: tJhat are you saying exactly?
HELLING: Well� I'm saying that
COWNIE: If 4103 doesn't pass
HELLING: Okay� let's use an example. We go in and petition
for a 58 franchise fee and FCC says "No."
C0�4NIE: Okay.
HELLING: 4103 passes six monts or a year down the line or
becomea effective then or whatever� and it allows
up to SB without any FCC approval or anything.
a3��
..
- 5 -
[7e11 then certainly the city would retain the right
to at that time to pursue that again. Okay? Does
that make it clear?
COWNIE: Is that okay7 Okay.
HELGING: Again, the other provisions in whatever language --
hell� I don't know what's -- what the final
substance of any legislation is going to be, but I
think -- that's the example that I'm talking about.
I think that works both ways.
COWNIE: Right. I mean I think that's the important point,
that it can cut both ways.
HELLING: Yeah.
COWNIE: Okay..
HELLING: As far as the NPO funding at $125�000� I think
that's something that, again, would be part of the
petition and so forth. Obviously, if there is -- I
guess I would say that if there isn't any movement
from the $75,000� then we may have to look at what
other alternatives exist. That seems to be the
tliing that we're stuck on.
COWNIE: Okay.
NELLING: The 40 cents -- again, I'm more than willing to sit
down and talk with Neil about it, and if he can
support that, as long as it would be done through
the agreed upon process under the current franchise
where you could petition prior to the time FCC
rules and it could become effective at the same
COWNIG:
HELLING:
^,
��
time, and so forth, I'm at least willing to support
that to Neil.
Okay.
And if he will support it to the Council...
And then on the fourth proposal which is the
automatic� we've talked about some alternatives
there as part of this agreement. Politically� I
think it's probably unacceptable.
COWNIE: Okay.
HELLING: And that's basically...
COWNIE: That's it?
HELLING: Yeah.
COWNIE: Okay. Shall we take a minute, just a minute or two
and...?
� KERN: If you want to.
COWNIE: Will you excuse us just a couple of mintes3
I think that the foregoin9 transcription makes it quite
, clear that the City did not intend to be bound by Section
� 2.A. in the event that it failed to receive a waiver upon
Petition for Special Relief from the FCC in the event that
� 4103� now 5.66� became law and gave the cities the right to
automatically increase the franchise fee to 58. Now�
' however, we have the City saying since 4103 does not� as
! adopted, permit the City to increase the franchise fee to 58
absent a specific provision in the franchise permitting them
to do so, it now Nants to say that the provision of 2.A. is
not an agreement to join and support the City in filing a
Petition for Special Relief aith the Federal Communications
� Commission but is, in fact� an agreement to permit the City
to increase the franchise fee under the provisions under the
Communications Policy Act of 1984. We respectfully disagree.
The City� as drafter of the August 28 agreement� was in
the unique poaition of being able to protect itself from the
eventuality of 4103 being adopted simply by negotiating for
and inaerting a paragraph to the effect that in the event
4103 permits franchisin9 authoritiea to charge a fee in
excess of 38, then Heritage a9rees that such fee shall
aa6�
�
-�-
automatically become effective. eut it chose not to do so
and elected the application for a waiver as its sole remedy.
I think that it is also important to point out that
while 4103 did define the rights of franchising authorities,
it also took aNay something from the cable television
operators. One of the things that it obviously took away was
the impact of the Nevada ruling. As the grantee under the
Iowa City franchise ordinance, Heritage cannot now tier the
channel line-up in order to minimize the remaining two years
of basic service rate regulation. Heritage can, and does
intend to, effective January 1, 1985� take a 59 increase in
its basic subscriber fees as permitted by 4103. It does not,
however, intend to also put into effect the additional
40-cent rate increase approved by the City earlier, the
neWspaper editorial to the contrary notwithstanding.
._._ _ .. . _ ... ... .
Unlike the pre-4103 status of things, Section 622(g)(2)(e)
recites that "in the case of any franchise in effect on the
� . date of the enactment of this title� payments which are
required to be made by the cable operator during the term of
such franchise for, or in support of the use of� public,
,. ' educational, or governmental access facilities are not included
� � � �. as a part of the Act's definition of 'franchise fee."' We
believe� therefore, that the City can legitimately require
(contrary to the third full paragraph of my letter dated
November 28� 1984) Heritage Cablevision to meke the access
payment required by Section 1.C. of the August 28 agreement,
and we would intend to make those payments upon appropriate
� notification from the City that the nonprofit organization has
been approved by the City.

From: Robert Jansen, City Attorney ���
David Brown, Assistant City Attorne�
Re: Ordinance amending the Broadband Telecormnunications Franchise
Enabling Ordinance
At your regular meeting on December 18, 1984, you will have before you for
adoption an ordinance amending Chapter 14, Article IV, Division 2("Broadband
Telecommunications Franchise Enabling Ordinance") of the Code of Ordinances
of the City of Iowa City, Iowa. The purpose of this ordinance is to amend
certain sections of said enabling ordinance, including increasing the annual
franchise fee from 3% to 5%, requiring franchise fee payments to be paid
quarterly rather than annually, and providing for continued support, includ-
ing funding, by the grantee for all local access channel functions and
equipment. It is our position that this amendment process is merely a
formality to incorporate into the enabling ordinance those changes already
agreed upon and/or supported by Heritage Cablevision Inc. in the August 28,
1984, agreement wherein the City granted approval of the transfer of the
broadband telecommunications franchise from Hawkeye CableVision to Heritage.
8637(a) of the recently passed Cable Communications Act provides, in
pertinent part, as follows:
"The provisions of any franchise in effect on the effective date of
this title, including any such provisions which relate to the
designation, use, or support for the use of channel capacity for
public, educational, or governmental use...remain in effect,
subject to the express provisions of.this title, and for not longer
than the then current remaining term of the franchise as such
franchise existed on such effective date."
The "effective date". of the Act is December 29, 1984. To obviate any
question that said changes to the enabling ordinance agreed upon and/or
supported by Heritage in August are a part of the franchise and hence
"grandfathered in," it has been recommended to us by Preston, Thorgrimson,
Ellis & Holman, the law office located in Washington, D.C. and retained by
the City for consultation regarding cable TV matters, that the City formally
incorporate said changes into the enabling ordinance prior to the effective
date, December 29th, of the Cable Act. Our office concurs in that recommen-
dation and advises that the ordinance before you be given all three readings
todbedpublished and formallyrmadeheffective p ior to ecembert29th amendments

MEMORANDUM
Date: December 14, 1984
To: City Council
From: Dale Helling, Assistant City Manager
Drew Shaffer, Broadband Telecortmunications Comnission
Re: Increase in Basic Service Rates for Cable TV
Heritage Cablevision plans to increase monthly basic service rates by
forty-five cents as of January 1, 1985. This is not directly related to the
forty cent increase approved by Council on November 6, 1984. The Cable
Communications Policy Act of 1985, signed into 1aw by the President on
October 30, 1984, allows cable canpanies to raise their rates by up to 5% per
year starting January 1, 1985, without City Council approval. Heritage has
announced its intention to do this.
The forty cent increase in the basic service rate approved by Council on
November 6 was part of the negotiated contract with Heritage, which stated
that the Council would consider this increase, to become effective only when
the City receives a 5% franchise fee. This contract was negotiated and
executed before the automatic 5% annual intrease was intorporated into the
then pending legislation. The proposed 5% franchise fee for the City is
projected to help cover costs incurred in the regulation and administration
of cable television and to support the promotion of local access video
programning. The City cable ordinance specifies that the franchise fee
revenue is to be used for these purposes.
We have reviewed the videotape of the City Council meeting of August 27,
1984. Mr. Nile McDonald made tomnents at that time regarding Heritage's
support for the efforts of the City to receive a 5% franchise fee waiver from
the FCC and the forty cent increase the Council was considering as a quid pro
quo for that increase. Mr. McDonald also stated that it was not the plan of
Heritage to institute any imnediate rate increases and that the pro forma the
company was sending the City would indicate what rate increases the company
did plan to initiate. That information was received (copy attached) and
indicates a forty cent increase in the basic service rates for 1985, the
amount approved by Council. Later in the meeting Mr, McDonald stated that
one of the last th9ngs Heritage wished to do when entering a community is to
raise rates.

Re: MiLler Park
�rene Klinzman
Elememary Secretary
This letter is in support of the parent group who are working to
establish a neighborhood park on Miller Street. The following are
reasons why the faculty of Roosevelt School is in agreement thut
such a facility would be beneficial:
*Playground equipment at a neighborhood park would reduce
the wear and tear on school equipment after school hours.
Our achool PTO must provide this equipment and it is
ex[remely costly. Our baske[ball courts are used heavily
by college students and Adults after hours.
*Being on the top of a very steep hill, sledding is out of
the question on our playground. Having a nice gentle
hill half of a block uway would provide a specinl treat
for occasional recess periods.
IVe would consider a park to be a welcome addition to our school
co�mnunity.

Re: Kentucky Fried Chicken--M�scatine Avenue
Dear 4i�ody:
Attadted to this letter is the Sign Application and Pernii.t on behalf of
I(entucky Pried Cliicken located at 2310 t4uscatine Avenue, Iara City, Ia�ua,
under the new City Orciinance dealing with Free Standing Signs that overhanq
the public ric�t�f-way.
As Z indiwted to you on the telephone, Kentucky FYied Chicken kvuld like to
replaoe the panels in the Free Standing Sign with the new frand�ise panels
azrl also repair wiring damage �ich was �ne by a wincistoun. It is rty
imderstanding at the presest time that although the Ordinance has been
passed, there is no fee structure which has been appzoved by the City
6�uncil. 'Aterefore, this leaves Rentuc]cy Fried Chicken in limbo,
-J
2 would appreciate it if you could please check with the various City Staffs
to see if I(entucky Fried Chicken can go ahead at the present time and replace
the new panels and repair the wiring from the wind d�nage. As I have
indicated to you and FCarin Franklin, IGentucky Fried c7iicken does intend to
oo�ly with the Ordinance and the filing of this Application should serve
as notice of their good intent in that regard. However, 2 do feel at the
present time Rentucky Fried (�icken is being placed in a situation which it
does not mntml. 211though neither the city nor the Grassi's can find the
old Pennit whi�h Kentucky Friod Chicken had, we have naa s�plied you with
docurents fmm hhe Minutes of the Board of Adjustrrent Nleetings in 1969 show-
ing that the placement of the existing sign was, in fact, appmved. Tedi-
nically, without the ne,� Oniinanoe, IGentucky Fried (1�icken muld go ahead
and make the necessary replacements and repairs under the authority prnvio�sly
given than by tlie Board of Adj�stnpnt and the City of iowa City, Iowa. tia,�-
ever, because of the'new Ordinance azu3 the apix�rent lack of mnsensu4 on the
fees, Kentucky Fried Chicken raa faces a situation where it is �able to go
ahead and effectuate the repaizs and replaa�nent, not beca�se of something it
did but because of sanething the City has failed to do, to-wit: pass the
applicable fee structure for oortgliance with the Ordinance whidi was paszed,
.? 3BG
Mr. Woody Rer�dall, Building Inspector

If at all possible, I c,nuld appreciate it if you could please discuss
this cietter with other City Staff and see if Kentucky Fried (hicken
could go ahead �uider the present circtm�st�nces acd replaoe the panels
and oonQlete the wiring repairs. �s soon as the new fee structure is
appzotrad, I�ntucky Fried Chicken will inrtediatEly sulmit a check fdr
the apprapriate fee so that it's Application for Permit can cx�lete
its final pmressing. In fact, if you t.ould like i�ntucky Fried qticken
to post a check at the present time in the aimunt of the old fee to show
further good intentims on its belialf, we would be willing to do that.
If you have any questio�s with rngazd to the material I have given you
on behalf of 14entucky Fried Qucken, please feel free to contact me.
71�ank you for your courtesy and cooperation thmughout this matter.

Variance to a sign for the Kentucky Fried Chicken vas appealed to the Boerd.
Representing Kentucky Fried Chicken was,Bill Suppel� Attorney� Ray Schee[z,
Contraceor, and John Crassi, owner.
Mt. Gxassi stated thet when he was ready to build u Kentucky Fried Chicken
take home store he came to the City to the Zoning Director, Berty Lundberg.
first and was told that he was in a C2 Zoning area and was assured by the
Zoning Department that it uas all right to do as he did.
i tte hadn't been properly informed by the City as to the sign permit and
ordinance, and thet he did eome to the City before taking steps of his
oun and ehought he ves doing everything thet was required oE him.
. j Dan Berry usked why didn't the Zoning Department send him to the Engiireering
I Depattmenti Laek of infocmation from the City.
Mr. Grassi was later infotmed by the Building Inspector that there wss
I a height Limitation of 20 feet. So a special sign was ordered undet 20 feet
high and delivesed but denied by C, Bruce Hamilton, Building Inspector�
because the sign nzea was too lar�e.
Dtr. Suppel then replied that there werc other buildinge with signs in
violation in Chat area and that this aas definitely a cownerical area,
Jay Honohan then spoke in behalf oC the 6uilding Depnrtment. It was noted
that the threc signs that are presently there are in violation because no
sign permit has been issued. The pLot plans does not indicate any si6ns
except for the one on the front.
Mr. Suppel snid that if c+e have this much trouble uith this sign ordinance
thut it should be presented Co the Council by the Bonrd of AdJustment.
There is definitely conflict between Sign and Zoning Ordtnence.
Rent Angerer asked if one sign on one pole and the bucket on a second pole
vas legal4 The enswer was yes. Hc then made a motion that the eign
variance be granted to allw thc 87 sq. ft. per face sign provided that two
oE the thiee aigna now existing on the building bc blocked oue.
Den Berry second the motion, the motion carriad with Pfr. Crahnm voting no.

Dear poug:
Attached you �vill find the application from F.lderly Services for the
Shared Nousing Program for elderly and handicapped residents in
Johnson County. We would like to commend your staff and the people
involved in making up the manual you distributed. It is a beautiful
piece oP work.
The Board of ESA asked me to write detailin� a couple of matters of
concern about the envisioned program.
The first has to do with the implementation of the program. Aecause
we believe that we should be very careful at the onset, the Board
agreed that it saw the development of the oroject as taking place in
three stages, should it be awarded to ESA. The first, to be put
into efPect by September of 1985 would be the "share my home" (inter-
generational homesharin�) concept. The "peer sharing" (elderly
with elderly) would begin the next year, and the "shared living"
(elderly with handicnpped) the year after that. The Board sug�ested
that we work with Independent Liv3ng for the "shared living" phase,
using them as consultants. I hnve spoken to Jess Bromsen, the Director
of that program, and he has agreed to heln.
The second has to do with the homes of elderly people and meeting the
various housing regulutions. The proposal makes it clear that this
should be done. Our concerns are that because 50'F oP the elderly
across the nation live in structures built in 1939 or e¢rlier, much
of this housing w311 be in disrepair. The 1976 report oY the U.S.
Senate Special Committee on Aging concluded that at least 304, of
the elderly live in substandard, deteriorating or dilanidated housing.
Because we suspect that shared housing will appeal especially to the
lorv-income elderly, that percentage may be even higher in our appli-
cant population. {4e know thut the houses will have to be inspected
and wonder where the Punds Por that inspection will come from. lYe
also worry that the cost of repairs to the house may be so high that
it �vould not be in the financial best interests of the el�ierly berson
to proceed w3th the idea even though his/her health and well-being
might benefit Prom it. It occurs to me thnt the CDR(; funds awurded
to ESA Por repairs would be ideul to use for this purpose. i3ut
the Pront pages tell us thut David Stockman plans to cut those
4unds to zero Por the next two fiscal years. Is there some way thnt
we can avoid these kinds oP expenses? I know th¢t you cannot �vork
a mirncle and make the regulations go away. t4e brinR these prablems
to your attention only becnuse we feel that they may affect the success
of the program.

The Board also asked me to tell you that we plan to use the resource
oP the City of Iowa City Police Department to check the local records
of applicants to the program. SYe feel this to be in the best
interests of the elderly, and that the requirement to sign a release
for that kind of record search may be effective in and oP itself in
screening out undesirable applicants.
If you have any questions about any part of the application, please
let me know.
Sincerely,

II. PROJECT EXPECTATIONS AND PLAN I9.iPLEh1ENTATION
{4hat ESA does now:
The primary goal of GSA is to keep elderly people from being
placed in institutions inappropriately by helpinq them remain in
their own homes as long as possible. lYe do this through three
programs, whic�h are described below.
A. The Chore and Respite Care program helps older people by
taking over maintenance worlc in the house and yard and by
providing caretakers when they become partially dependent
on others for the activities of daily living. Chore and
respite care workers sit with people who cannot stay alone, �
mow lawns, wash windows and put up storms, shovel walks, do i
heavy cleaning and help with plumbing, painting and the like. �
We have Punds allocated for makin� repairs to roofs, bannisters, '
railings, broken steps, rotten flooring, and all the other �
necessaries associated with making a safe, comfortable home �
as opposed to one that keeps the elderly person in a state of '
i
risk. S9e have placed young people in the homes of ten to
twelve elderly people who requested live-in arrangements over
the last two years. These cnretakers were recruited from 1
the ranks of our chore and respite cure workers, known to be
reliuble and effective in dealing with the elderly. ESA does ;
no hiring. We act as brokers between the elderly person and
the worker, setting the price for the service (Uetween Q� and ^+5
an hour), workin� up the contract, screening tiie woricers and
checking the work done. Our chore coordinator is well-knawn in
th elderly community. I{e performs many'services above nnd beyond
those in his job description nnd is highly regarrled by our
clients for his judgment. The demand for chorr, nnd respite
care services over the lnst three years reflects that regard.
fYe have jumped from 3,000 hours of service our second year to
7,000 our third yeur and 17,500 the year ending June 30, 198A.
B. The Outreach and Advocncy Pro�ram reaches out to find the
elderly person in need of services and acts on his/her behnlf
whenever necessary. fVe cnll all clients usinq our chore and
a3 ��
� .,
3
respite care services regularly to keep,them informed of
resources and to try to anticipate problems associated with
; aging. We recruit volunteers to malce home visits each week to
the homebound and lonely and act as an intermediary bet�veen the
Icitizen and the bureaucracy when asked to do so. We distribute
i government surplus food and fresh vegetables (in the summer) don-
ated by community members. We have a new program which helps
' fragile elderly get to the grocery store each week. We run a
training program for volunteers from the UI and the community
using the staff from other human service a�encies and the
hospitals in Iowa City. i9e also maintain the Carrier Alert and
Vial of Life programs. (Carrier Alert has the postman looking
� out Por at-risk elderly and the Vial of Life puts information
on their medications in a place where rescue workers know to
loolc for it.)
IC. The Information and Referral Pro�ram serves as a central
dissemination point for information about avail¢ble services in
� Johnson County, to answer questions elderly people have and to
refer clients Lo the proper agencies so that their needs can be
met. IYe put out a services �uide (included) which lists a
variety of agencies, support �roups an� organizations critical
' , to the dependent elderly and their families. t9e conduct an
ongoing publicity campuign, advertising services through public
speaking and announcements through the various media. Ne
mnintain nn up-to-date comprehensive file oI information
on issues of relevance. We are most often asked about housin�,
tnxes, 6tedicnre/hledicuid, D1ueCross/�lue Shield and for help
with heating and medic¢1 bills as ivell as the routine questions
having to do with our regulnr work. �
How is the proposed housinq pro�ram consistent with ESA �ouls?
Sl�ared housing is a naturnl outqrowth of the chore, respite care
and outreach programs. As we see it, the pur�ose of tlie new proRram
is to provide elderly and handicapped persons with the housing
alternntives, support services, social networks and sn.fe environments
which nllow them to retain their independence and thus avoid inuppro-
priate institutionalization. These concerns purallel those for the
a 3�.7
^
--,
4
elderly contained in the overiding goal of ESA (to keep elderly people.
in their homes as long as possible and to avoid the nursing home
placement that is inapproprinte and unnecessary if support services
within the community setvices network are put in place). Providing
housing alternatives and less expensive housin� is part and parcel
of that goal. The chief concern of most elderly people our agency
sees is getting by on the money they have in the face of inflation
and rising rents and prices in a University town. The proposed
program helps the pocketboolcs of the elderly/handicapped by providing
financial assistance to the homesharer. It provides an opportunity
for day-to-dny help which does not cost us much as purchased services '
from an agency. It offers a degree of companionship to ward off
loneliness and isolation (which can hasten institutionalization
as much as anything) and at the same time the freedom of a rela-
tionship not bused on familial or marital ties. The process oP
applying for the progrum includes u screening for use o4 community
resources and referruls where appropriate as well as a follow-up
to see that the referr¢ls are efPective.
The structure of the chore and respite care program, which
Icoordinates services Por some 450 people over'60 in Johnson County
� could be integrated into the housing program ns a support service for
the elderly person nnd the homesharer. Any problems in home mainten-
ance or with sudden illness or decline could be dealt with by
added hands from our program. The training sessions for respite care
workers at ESA could be integruted into the training sessions Por
volunteers nnd homesharers in the ne�v program. Our outreach and
advocacy pro�ram gonls stress buildinq relationships of trust with
the elderly and providing personal uttention to specific problems
they may have. The telephone outreach program and home visitinq
program have objectives the Pruits oP which could be easily incor-
I porated into the needs of the housing pro�ram. They could buttress
�, the assistance given by the tenunt and provide additional company
I
and social cont�ct to provide some respite for the tenant when
I; necessary.
The instruments we hnve desiqned for our nssessments (see
attnched for copies of relevnnt instruments nnd n copy of our goals
and objectives), the procedures we have estnblishecl for maintuining
a3�7
up-to-date records on the needs of our clients and the training
programs we have in place for our volunteers could all be inte�rnted
into the needs of the new housing program. Our outreach objectives
include getting food into the homes of the low-income elderly
(likely candidates for homesharing). iYe do this throuRh the govern-
ment surplus distribution program and our "share the harvest" pro�ram
in the summers. That food is availahle for homesharing proPram
participants. .
Our public service objectives include speakin� at local Lions,
Kiwanis, Optimists, Pilot Club, church groups and other social
organizations to inform people about available services. The word
could be spread in the same manner at the same time about the housing
pro�ram.
Our objectives include working on the Case 11ana�ement and
Assessment team in Johnson County. This group is made up of repre-
sentatives of direct-service organizations (e.g. CAHHSA, Homemaker
Home Health, Hospice, liome-Delivered '.leals, the Adult Day Program,
i etc.) who deal with the homebound elderly. Nhen we have an elderly
person who needs the services oP three or more agencies, we meet to
� expedite service delivery. If the elderly homesharer needed such
i
attention, the ChiAT tenm could be easily called toqether by �SA.
Our inYormntion and reEerral program serves to answer whatever
I questions arise and to refer clients to proper agencies where their
needs can be met. All the Piles and information available through the
program wonld be "on t¢p" for the housing coordinator, the homeshurer
and the tenant. Our referral system and inPormation-sharing mechanisms
(articles in the Senior Center Post, udvertising on television,
radio and in the local'newspapers, etc.) would also be available and
immediately at hand.
' The homesharing progrum already in existence at �SA grew out oP
the needs of the chore, respite care and outreach clients who used
the agency over time. Our ngency seems to be an especiully appro-
priate pince for such n program.

How fiSA would phase in the program: .
During the first year of the proqram, the Share-my-home
(intergenerational) project would be implementecl. IYe would aim at
September 1, 1985 as tlie date of the first placement. The second
year would see the Peer Sharing program put into place. The third
year would bring the Shared Living Project. Because F,SA does not
serve handicapped people under 60, it was thou�ht best to phase that
part of the program in after the other se�ments are salely in place
and workin� well. Independent Living, an agency Cor the handicapped,
has agreed to work with us on the program desiFn when we reach that
point. The material dealt with in this applications focuses on the
first year only. A brief overview of how we see the Peer Sharing
program is included in the appendix. The Shared LivinG project woulci
be modeled on the first two segments oY the program, with speciYic �
information on the handicapped to be built in nt n later date. '
Housing the Program:
The program would be housed on the second floor of the Senior
Center. An informal agreement has been renched between the director
of ESA and Bette Meisel. No rent and utilities would be chnrged to
CDBG funds. A phone would have to be hooked up, although the jack
is already there. A desk nnd chair are provided by the Senior �enter.
A filing cabinet, Lable and two chairs for volunteers and appli-
cnnts wauld be sought through donations, in University surplus and/
or local agency, City and County surplus.
The place of the program in the structure of RSA:
An or�anizational chart of ESA with the addition,of the proposed
program is attached. The housing proqrnm would be a�]iscrete entity
within the organization. The housing coordinator would meet with the
RSA stafY regularly to make sure that services provided by other
pnrts of �SA were being used in homeshuring arrangements when it
�vns nppropriate. On the other hand, because the offices would be on
the second floor of the Center nnd not in the ground Ploor office of
ESA, the programs would be sepurated in day-to-duy operation.
Who hires the Housin� Coordinator and to whom does he/she repOrt7
The housing coordinutor would be hired by and report to the
director. The volunteers attnched to the program wou1�3 report to the

housing coordinator on a daily basis, and have their work evaluated
by him or her. They would ultimately be responsible to,an�evaluated
by (especially if grades for classes are involved) the director, as
are all volunteers at the agency.
How would volunteer help be handled in the first year?
During the first six months of the program, in all probability
volunteers would come from experienced �voricers now donating their
time at ESA. It is possible that a student trom the nractice II
(social �vork methods and skills) course taught in the spring semester
might be available as well. After the initial period, anplicntion
would be made for a graduate student to do his/her practicum with
the pro�ram (an eight-month, Yull-time stint). A volunteer could
also be recruited through VISTA. The School of Social �Vork is an
authorized VISTA provider through which application could be mude.
The volunteer would be completely responsible to the director of
ESA were we to do that. ESA uses a substantinl number of volunteers
from the UI and the community at large in n11 phases of its programs
and there should be no problem about placing competent people with
the�housing program, based on our pust experience.
Staff coordination within ESA durin� the lst 6 months: i
The director•nnd the housing coordinator would work together to
set up job descriptions Por the volunteers; the coordinxtor woul�
provide daily supervision. During the first few months oP the
� progrum, the director and the coordinator would meet quite frequently
on an as-needed basis, und the coordinator would rvork closely with
� ager.cy staff until he/she is familiar with the organization. After
' 'that initial period, the director and coordinator �vould meet on a
weekly basis to maintain effective communication. The director would
be purt oi the decision-mnking Process in the final stuges oP n
home-sharin� arrangement for at lenst the first year of the progrnm
with the right to make the ultimate decision nUout that placement
(n condition imposed by the Donrd of Directors).
Duties of the liousing Coordinutor:
1. Setting up goals, objectives and tasks, using the Shared
Housing manual ns a model, nnd establishin� a time frnme.
2. Setting up regular operatinq procedures and evaluation
a3��

general assistance.
5. Training and supervising volunteers anci practicum students

Volunteer traininq:
ESA hns a training program for volunteers which �vould be adapted
Por the new housing program. As it is no�v designed, the progrnm
asks a prospective volunteer to fill out the information Porm (see
appendix), nnd to come in for an interview to explore the volunteer's
interests and goals.
The interviewer and the potential volunteer evaluate together
the appropriateness oP working with ESA as a wny of pursuing their
respective gonls. IP an ugreement is renched, n time frame is set
up delineating the volunteer's hours and activities. Then the
volunteer is ready to begin orientation. This process involves
using and understanding the manual put out Uy the a�ency, which includes
u description of the programs at GSA and other service agencies for
the elderly, the hlstory ot ESA, its structure, goals nnd objectives,
and a number of re¢dings denling aith:
1. What the ngency expects of the volunteer
2. SYhat the volunteer can expect of the agency
3. Developing the helpin� skills necessary
a. recognizing and coping with loneliness nnd isolation in
the elderly
� b. fostering independence and improving daily living nnd
social sitills
a ���
�
i�
c. providing companionship, reassurance and breathing
space and privacy
d. observing and assessing the home with nn eye toward
snfety and comfort
e. pointers Por listening, questioning, interpretation,
being helpful, things that hinder communication,
reciprocal trust, distrust, mutual growth, evaluating,
openness, shared problem solving, modeling, autonomy,
etc.

4. Community Resources available to the elderly:
a. The Johnson County Services Index
b. The GSA Indes (attached)
i All the volunteers see a film made by UI ]{osuitals and Clinics
for the Gerontology Clinic. It is narrated by Geri 9n11, R.N., a
consultant to our volunteer training program ¢nd a member oY the
UI Hospitals and Clinics Department of Neurology. It is called
"The First Home Visit" and shows the helper how to act, what to look
� for and how to ussess the environment during the initial visit.
Patterns oP internction and ePfective communication are covered as
are common safety hazards and metl�ods of assessment�.
{9e also use ottier agencies for training volunteers. CAHHSA
puts on workshops on how to care for people in their homes. Their
R.N.'s teach our volunteers how to liPt people safely when tliey have
Pallen. The Community 5lentnl Health Center sends staFf to work with
volunteers for two intensive sessions of problem solving during
each school semester. They nre especially helpful in teaching
volunteers how to cope with dependency in the elderly person as well
as depression, tendencies toward paranoiu, mnnipulntiveness and the
many other facets oP intimacy with other people which can be diPficult
Yor everyone. We use the Adult Day Program nt the Senior Center as
a resource. Volunteers attend the program, practice their helping
skills nnd learn l�o�v to interact with people who hnve vurious
debilities (e.g. hearing and memory loss, physical handicaps, bad
a ���
is
eyesight, etc.) Volunteers are scheduled to �ive their time for
a two-week period at the beginnin� of their training to reinforce
what they are learning. IYe also use the resources of the School
of Social {York. The students in the Aging Studies program volunteer
every semester as do students in the Introduction to Social lVork
and Practice I& II courses. The faculty of the school wor]c closely
with us to supervise training. Professor IYoodrow Norris from the
UI College of Afedicine is on-call as an adviser. IVe call in
professionals for problem-solving sessions nddressed to specific
issues as we need to.
Monitorin� the relationships with clients: '
ESA hus an established set of procedures for monitoring the
relationships volunteers have with clients when they make regular
in-the-home visits. �

A file is muintained for each client. When the plient contacts
the agency or is referred to us nn assessment durinR an in-home visit
is made by the directar or the practicum student supervising the
outreach program. That assessment forms the basis oE the 411e.
It covers six nrens: economic resources, socinl resources, mental
heulth status, physical health status, activities oP daily living and
community service assistunce. In addition, n service-intake form is
prepured, summarizing whnt is needed and the particulnrs of each
client's case. These t�vo documents serve ns the bnsis oP the case
plan mude up by the volunteer nnd the staft person. After an under-
standing of �vhat is in them is attained by the volunteer, home visits
a 3�,�
e
�, -�
16
are begun. A narrative of each of those visits as �vell as the
date and number of hours spent visitin� is turned in at the end of
each month. Any problems are discussed at that time. The staff
calls the elderly person to see horv thin�s are goinF and to make sure
the volunteer's view of the situation generally reflects the percep-
tions of the elderly person.
In both the housing and the outreach pro�ram, the success of
the volunteer depends on the amount of trust he or she can engender
in the cl3ent. The competence and good will on which that trust
is based are dependent upon the volunteer's commitment to the goals
of the program. If the staff suspect tliat that commitment is not
there, the relationship with the client is ended, and another volunteer
is sent as a visitor.
Public education:
The goal of the outreach and advocacy pro�rar� at GSA is to reach
aut to find people who need services. Public education on the
homesharing program involves the same goal. At the present time,
the director nt ESA makes four or five speeches a month on elderly �
services available in Johnson County. It would be a simple matter
to enlarge the presentation to include informntion on homeshnrinq.
Presentations to that topic alone could easily be added as appropriate.
The Dottie Ray Show is n radio program well-known to people in
Iown City. Program time could be devoted to homesharin� and nottie
Ray would be willing to make spot announcements about the project
to bring it to the attention oP elderly people.
KCJJ is willing to devote program time to presentations on the
elderly. An interview on the new project would be nppropriate, easy
to arrange, and could be broadcasted more than once.
Spot ¢nnouncements could be put on otl�er local rndio stations.
The School of Socinl 1York puts on a television show called the
Senior Seminnr of tlte Air. Ten shows are scheduled to be televised
this winter and spring and one of them is to be on the shared housing
progrum. {4e could use the inter-generational production teum on the
progrum. This tenm worlcs out of the School. Cable television has n
good track record for showinq thc sam� nro�rams ovcr and over aqain
on the public educntion chnnnels. '�tany olrler people at the Senior

Center comment dn those programs ("I saw you last night!"). R'e could
put the program on housing in reruns just litce "Barney Atiller" and
"M1fash . "
A practicum student from the School of Social lYork Haster's
, program could speak at local churches, civic groups, social organ-
izations as part of his/her internship. If �ve were able to bring
other knowledgeable volunteers into the progrum, we could make
; getting the message to the public as a primary task.
� The Johnson County Farm Sureau Women's Auxiliary is �vorking
with ESA to get the message out about available services in Johnson
County. Presentations on shared housing to that organization and
material given to those women could get information about the project
�• into the outlying areas. , '
Recruiting prospective tenants:
The first year of the program, we would concentrate on recruiting
desirable UI students. Given that we have the Paily Iowun, the
Office of Financial Aids and the classes there, �ve should be able
to advertise easily. We can also put a video program usin� our
; students and the Senior Center of the Air staff on the student
� channel shown in the dormitories at UI.
Program Evaluation:
The director and the housing coordinator of the new program
would put to�ether the formal goals and objectives of the program.
Any evaluation oP the pro�rnm would be done with those in mind.
Underlying the whole program is a desire to see thut elderly/handi-
capped people hnve housing ulternutives, the support services, social
networks nnd sa4e environments which will allow them to retain their
independence and to thus avoid inapproprinte institutionnlization.
Therefore u positive evaluation would depend on seein� to it that '
the housing niternntives nre indeed alternntives, that the
services nnd networks are in place nnd that the environments are
saPe enough to keep them from bein� nt risk. In order to demonstrnte
that these things hnve been done, objective and subjective mensures
of evnluntion are designed to orqnnize tlie dnta obtained from the
study of the pro�ram.

A. Objective measures:
,.
1. The "Pre-match" contact form would maintain records on:
number of homeowners making application
number of prospective tenants making aoplication
living conditions of both when applications is made (cost
of rent/home ownership)
social agencies used by elderly before apnlication
number of people elderly person sees regularly each week/month
before application
time it takes staff to process anplicntion
type of contact made by staTf and outcome, whether positive
or negative, and if negative, why.
2. Number oY clients referred to other ngencies or for
other kinds of service provided by ESA (i.e. chore/respite
care, outreach/advocacy) in addition to as well as
instead of placement in the shared housing program would
be cTi on the "client referral sheet" or a facsimile
thereof (from the Afanual)
Number of homeowners and tenants matched, length of trial
period and outcome
3. Number of people who could not afford the insurance
(liability for example) or home repair costs of the progr¢m
and �vho therefore were not matchecl.
4. Time lapse between application 1nd pincement
5. length of stay of tenant/turnover rate
G. number of agency/homeowner/tenant contacts made after
placement (us well as a narrative describin� those
contncts where appropriute)

8. Reasons Por termination oP housing agreement:
e.g.
a. placement in a nursing t�ome
b. personal preference of homesharer 1nd/or tenant
c. tenant moved from Iowa City
B. Subjective measures:
The case narratives kept by the tenant on the one hand, and
the coordinator on the other, will be used as subjective data for
evaluating the program. They will be evaluated monthly by the j
coordinator. ;
' The data should provide a constant indicator of the tenant/home-
,
sharer relationship as well as a monitor of the changes in health
, or social funetion of the older person if and when they occur. �
i
If it becomes evident, for exumple, thut the elderly person is .
, bored and depressed because of lacic of stimulation in his/her life, �
i supplements to the shnred housing program could be suggested. The �
Adult Day Program might be un option for the more infirm elderly
person, whereas a volunteer effort or becoming involved in a ;
I program might be approprinte for the healthier person. CIo effort �
' would be made to coerce people to do these things, but intormation
would be provided if it appears approprinte.
IP the home situution becomes problematic because of some
repairs that need to be mude, the nvailability of the chore and
repair program at ESA could be brought to the nttention of the
homeowner.
' In the later stnges of the progrnm, if it develops that the
income oP the homeowner declines (cuts in Social Security for example)
and having one tenant is not enough of a financial boost, the
possibility of peer-shuring could be explored to give another
alternative to the present housinq arrangement before selling the
home becomes necessary.
At intervnls of every three to six months, depending on the
case, the coordinator and the director would evalunte each case with
an eye to being prepared for the future. If new needs have nrisen,
referruls will be mnde wherever possible. This overvie�v would help
uvoid the crisis situations which too often lend to institutionalization
a 3��

zo
because caretakers become overwhelmed.

C. Program Outcome measures:
After the initial period of "setting up shop" for the project,
the projected number of complete�i housesharinq arrangements would be
determined Por a given period of time, as would tiie number of people
the coordinator thought it realistic to contact. The same projections
would be set up for counseling and community service referrals.
At the end of the first year, the annual report would detail
the reality of the program and whether the qouls which we initially
set up hud indeed been reached. At that time, �ve woulcl hnve the
liberty oF either deciding the proceed or to reexumine our options.
Our nssessments would be presented to the Doard of nirectors
at ESA, the City of Iowa City Housing Department and our other
funding agencies interested in the program and an annlysis und deter-
mination of the worth of the effort woulcl evolve [rom that process.

MEMOR�►NDUM
DATE� December 12, 1984
TO: City Council
FROM: Lyle G. Seydel
RE: Assisted Housing Programs
The formal agenda for Tuesday, December 18, contains two retated items. This
memo is to provide Council with details concerning the two programs involved.
Item 1- The application for 14 units Section 8 vouchers.
This is a new program and is to be administered in conjunction with the
Rental Rehabilitatian Program• It is very similar to the Section 8 Existing
Certificate Progrem. In operation the difference is that for the certificate
program there is a maximum rent that can be paid for a unit. The Housing
Authority pays the difference between 30% of the adjusted family income and
the gross rent, which cannot exceed the Fair Market Rent. For the Voucher
Program there is a Payment Standard which is the same as the Fair Market
Rent. Under this program the Housing Authority pays the difference between
30% of the adjusted family income and the Payment Standard regardless of
what the gross rent may be. Because it is a new program a separate five-
year Annual Contributions Contract will be offered and wi11 equal $60,984
per year. Separate budgets and accounting will be required. It is antici-
pated that eventually all Section 8 units will be converted to this voucher
type program.
Item 2- Application for 25 units of Section 8 Existing.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development published a notice November
8, 1984, indicating applications to administer a Section 8 Existing Housing
Program would be accepted until January 18, 1985. This application, if
approved, wi11 merely expand our present program and increase our Annual
Contributions Contract for two years by approximately 5106,000 per year.
While we are assured of receiving the funding for the 14 Section 8 Vouchers,
we are not assured that these 25 units will be approved. It is anticipated
that applications will be submitted for many more than the 300 units that
are available. Therefore, a lottery from acceptable applications will
determine who gets the units. The acceptable applications must be received
prior to January 18, 1985, therefore, it is prudent to submit our applica-
tion now to ensure all is in order prior to that date.
Both programs require a Public Hearing prior to undertaking the projects.
The Public Hearing for these two applications has been set for January 15,
1985.
I wi11 be happy to provide any additional information requested and will
attend the informal session on Monday, December 17 to answer questions.

do hereby certify the attached Resolution with Exhibit A, a list of the
delinquent sewer rental, water and refuse accounts, a description of the
premises where such delinquent accow�ts were incurred, together with the

Date: December 13, 1984
To: City Council and City Manager
From: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance �-J
Re: Certification of Delinquent Sewer, Water and Refuse Charges
The listing of unpaid charges which are to be certified to the County Auditor
as liens is attached to the resolution as Exhibit A. These unpaid charges
were incurred between October 1, 1983, and October 1, 1984. City Ordinance
provides that liens may be filed against the property of any consumer or
property owner for unpaid charges. A special exclusion exists for the rental
property owner regarding unpaid charges incurred by tenants; if the rental
property owner provides forwarding address information to the City on former
tenants, the City wi11 not file liens against the rental property for that
tenant's unpaid charges.
Total unpaid tharges for the twelve month period ending October 1, 1984,
amount to #4,051. Of that amount, ;2,887 is being certified as liens and the
remainder of 51,163 is due from former tenants of rental properties and from
former owners of properties whith have been sold. The latter amount is still
being pursued for collection but it is expected that the majority of it wi17
be eventually written off as uncollectable. '
Proper notifitation has been provided for all unpaid charges being certified
as liens. In addition to the regular billings, property owners have received
the following three additional letters informing them of the unpaid status of
their account. Once the account was 30 days past due, a letter was sent
notifying the property owner that the account was delinquent. After 60 days
of past due status, a letter was sent notifying them of the City's intent to
file a lien against the property if the delinquent bill was not paid. On
December 7, 1984, certified letters were sent to the property owners notify-
ing them of the date on which the City Council would consider the resolution
to cert9fy the unpaid.charges as 7iens and of the opportunity to be heard by

recomnends approval with the stipulatian that Iowa-Illinois investigates
the use of low profile transformers.
The standard transformer used by Iowa-Illinois is 5'9" high and requires a
concrete pad which measures 7'0" X'7'0". The low profile transformer is
4'4" high and requires a maximum pad size of 9'2" X 6'3".
One parking stall along the center of Iowa Avenue will be needed for each
transformer regardless of whether the standard or low profile transformer
is utilized. Two sides of the transformer will be screened by existing
plantings and adjacent parked cars will partialty screen the other two
stdes. Complete screening with plant material will encroach into an
additional parking stall. Alternatively, the transformers can be located
in the existing planting island. The use of decorative fencing will not
encroach into an additional parking stall,

Mr. Frank Farmer, Enqineer
City of Iowa City

Iowa City, IA 52240
Dear Frank:
Several weeks ago Ken Taube and.i met with you to discusa our
plana to install a duct system along Iowa Avenue Erom Clinton
Street to Dubuque Street. I've attached three (3) coplea o£
our propoaed conaLruction and reference drawinga for your
revSew. To help you when reviewing the drawinqs, this letter
wili briefly describe our plans. If you feel the City should
be more involved with thie project, please proceed wlth oblaininq
the neceseary approvals. We propoae atarting constructien in the
Sprinq, 1985. .
I. Slind Block Load Growth
City Hlock 80, called the "Blind Slock" due to the sinqle
access alley, has experienced electrical problems for
aeveral years. Last year, due to the fire in the WGN
Building at 15 Dubuque Street, we cuere able to remove some
of the electrical load from the alley syatem. We placed
a padmounted transformer along the west aide of Dubuque
Street to serve the new wGN Building and a portion of the
eoutheaet corner of the block. The area served by thia
transformer ia hiqhliqhted on one of your printa.
Earlier thia year, we were notilied that the Dey Ruilding
would rewire to a larger aervice aize. Due to various
easement aad deaign problema in the alley, we proposed to
aerve this building Erom the front alonq Iowa Avenue in an
underground duct. in doing thie, we again remove electrical
load from the rear overhead aystem and add load to the expan-
ding downtown undergrouad ayetem. '
Il]pION[NMlI5C11N(pplplOtlMO qW�CRYqN�v]}U qQ1(]Ipl]lpt��
a�a o
- z -
With the proper duet deslqn, the Dey Huildinq and the
Best Slcak House Building could be removed from the rear
system at thle time. Eventually, aa the other businesaea
along Iowa Avenue expand and rewire, these would also be
served from the new duct eystem. For example, i£ the
SeSEerte euilding 1s sold and they rewired next year to a
larger service, they too could be aQzyed from the front
after a short duet exteneion on Clinton Street.
IZ, F.xleting Duct Svatem
The rear overhead eyatem amounta to platform-mounted
tranafortnere with overhead servicea and lift polea Sn the
alley. The tranaformers are fed through an exlsting duct
system. Theae ducts run from the transformer platform
structure Ghrough the alley entrance !o manhole 113. From
M.H. 113, the ducta head east acroas Dubuque Street. Thia
exiatinq system is shown on your prints, W}len the new duct
system is installed, the spare ducts available in the exist-
ing syatem would be ueed to feed the new syatem on Iowa Avenue.
III, Pr000eed Duct Svstem
The new eystem will be conetructed to the same standarda as
the rest of tha Urban Aene�aal aystem. The ducts ��ill be
concrete-encased PVC conduita and include some eparea for
future use. Three (3) new manholes wiil be required; one
about mid-biock on Ioioa Avenue, one in the Sntersection of
Iowa Avenue and C1lnton Street, and one next to one o£ the
propoeed traneformer locations. These manholea and the
conneclinq ductwork ia highllghted on your attached prints.
The inatallation of the new duct work is propoaed in atages
to minimize the inconvenienoe ef the buainesaes along Iowa
Avenue, The ducts as shown on your printe will be constructed
in the existing driving lane of Iowa Avenue, With the proper
barracading and coninc, truck (dellvery) traffic could etill
uae the parking area durinq conatruction. Alternately, when
we need to construat in the parking area, the driving lane
along the curb will be open to deliveries.
Our lmtnediate need !a to aerve the Dey Duilding. Ducts from
the transformer at Iowa Avenue and C1lnton Street to the
basement of the Dey Bitildinq in the northeaet corner are
proposed. The Best Steak Houae �aould be aerved from the
traneformer at Iowa Avenue and Uubuque Street, to manhole
113, then through exiatinq service ducts to the buildinq,
a �oo
IV
The zemainder of the duct system ie to provide future aervicea
to the reat of the busineseea along Iowa Avenue. It has not
yet been decided whether we'il actually compiete ducta beneath
the aldewalka for theae future cuatomera or whether we'll stub
ducta at the curb 11ne. These stubs could later be extended at
the time the bueinesses rewire.
The City propoees to repave Clinton Street fzom Iowa Avenue
to Washington Street in 1985. If the Seiferta 8uildinq Ss
sold and commits to rewirinq their building befote the paving
ie started, we'll probably design ducts alonq Clinton Straet
to aerve them also.
Procoaed Tzansformer Locations
I mentioned earlier these locatlone. Ae shown on youz prints,
we've choeen to locate the tranaformers Sn the median erea near
the landscaped corners. This deaign assumee the use of one
parking atall per kranaformer. The tranaformer would face away
from the landacaping towards the otreet, Protective poats would
be inatalled alon,q the side and in front of each tzanaformer to
allov either motorcycle or bicycle parking in the reeminder of the
atali. No cars however could be allowed in front of the transforme
t9e discussed earlier the poasibliiity of placinq the transformer
in the landacaped areas. Th18 option would tend to draw more
attention to the tranaformera. Hy placing these units at atreet
level, we would minimize the visual impact. This is the reason
we choae not to place transfromers on the sidewalks.
The padmounted transformers would He aimilar in color and size
to the one in front of 15 Dubuque StreQt or ln front of the new
bank addition on Clinton Street. They would be'hidden by parked
cars most of the time since their location ie next to metered
parkinq.
NOTr: Because our construction schedule Ss planned for next Spring,
we have time to discuss these plane and reviee them if
neceasary. In order to complete the deaiqn and prepare
epecificatione for the work however, we need your approval
no later than December 1, 1984.
If you need more information, please call me c+n 338-9781 ext. 66.

Dear 1•tr. Terry:
After receiving your letter, I investigated tlie very negative comments
regarding Dr. Cronin and his alleged handiing of your request to be placed on
a school board agenda.
Dr. Cronin has informed me that he has never spolcen with you about being
placed on an agenda. There is record o� speaking uiith a secretary an
October 9, 1964. Since Dr. Cronin was not in at that tiine, you requested
that he call either you or Drew Shaffer relative to Iowa City's cable
television system. Dr. Cronin attempted to call you back and vihen he was
unable to reach you, he called Drea� Shaffer as you requested.
P1r. Shaffer was unable to say definitely :ahat your call was about, but
speculated that it had to do with the possible hookup of cable at West High
School. Since Drew Shaffer could give no definitive answer as to your call,
Dr. Cronnin called your residence on October 15 and left a message with your
wife for you to return his ca11. You never did.
I find it puzzling and presumptuous at best for you to allege reaction by Dr.
Cronin to be "totally uncalled for and out of character" when you never even
spoke with him.
I agree with your notion that all Iov�a City institutions should work in a
spirit of cooperation, however, the accusatory tone of your letter seems to
refute your notion.
Should you desire to be placed on a future agenda, you may do so by
contacting any board member or Dr. Cronin and requesting to be placed on an
agenda. Obviously, a written explanation af your request would be in order.
l!e attempt to facilitate most ali attempts by individuals or groups to liave
items placed on an agenda. liowever, those requests must be made through the
proper channels, with an appropriate explanation of the item.
Sincerely, .

On October 9, I asked to be put on the School Boartl's agenda. I wanted
to let the School Board knoN the various alternatives that exist
regarding getting cable television and/ar a local origination line to
uest High School and the possible applications of cabie. We received a
lelephone call from Dr. Lronin on October 10 that 1 believe to ne a
reattion tha[ was totally uncalled for and out of character. Or. Cronin
infurmed us in no uncertain terms, that the School Ooard is not inter-
ested.
Ne were not ai�are that Dr. Cronin speaks for the School Board. IJhen 1
informed the Broadband Teletomnunitations Cortmission (BTC), an advisory
body Co City Louncil, on October 16 at their regular meeting they were
likewise shocked at Dr, Cronin's eall and his attitude.
In part, the purpose of the UTC is ta facilitate the use of cable where
possible and to inform SnstTtutions of how cable' may be installed antl
used. We believe cable television can be used in many advantageous ways
by scliool systems, as evidenced by the Edutational Telecommunications
f.o�rission (ETC) in Cedar RapiGs, including studying how government
works fro�n watching some of channel 29 or channel 22's programs;
stuGying what the ltbrary offers fron watching thannel 20; there are
many programs the drama class may benefit from as MP.��, to mention only
a few possible uses. This daesn't include any of the origination
capabilities, such as cablecasting plays, concerts or sports activities
fram the schools for students and parents, or classrooms in the home for
shut-ins and/or handicapped.
However, This information is not the most important part of what I
intended to say to the Sthool Board. Tt is now possible to wire West
High School from .the east, so there is no longer the need to bore under
the parking lot to i+ire the school, Under the 300 foot rule, stipu-
lating the cable coinpany will pay for the first 300 feet, most of the
wiring cost will now be borne by the cable company. This information,
together with Neritage's stated interest in maximizing atcess program-
a��

ming in Iowa Lity and .the fact that the original wiring design in the
franchise included Yest High School, seemed to be important news we
Nanted to relay.
We ure fully aware that the School Board is an autonomous body. It is
not our desire to force anything on anyone, but rather ta inform and
facititate to ensure everyone knows what their choices are. To that en0
we attempted to get on the School Board agenda. To that end we,have
attempted over the last five years to cooperate with all lowa City
institutions. Perhaps this letter Nill clarify our intent and relay the
information we sought to communicate.
Thank yau for your time and attention.

Mr, Thomas Scott
Chairman� Planning and Zoning Commission
Cit/ af Iawa City
Civic Center
[owa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. Scott:
Over the pastfew months citizens have raised a concern with the University
Heights City Cauncil about the way in which property ad,ioining the city on the
south may be developed. In a meeting today with Mayor John McDonald and City
M anager Neal Herlin the suggestion wae made that as the Planning and Zoning
Commission is reviewing this property, we should call to your attention the
following concerns that affect both cities. (As the issues raised are anes that
have implications for the ParKs and Recreation Commission as well, a copy of this
letter has also heen sent to that agency.l
In the paat 8-f 0 years, the area of Iowa City sauth of KinnicK Stadium and the
Field House hasincreased in population considerahly. A number of apartments
have heen buiit an OaKcrest as well as Benton and west Melrose Avenue. This
has substantially increased the volume o4 traffic on Koser and Melrose Avenues.
Recently, public hearings have been held regarding two proposed !9-unit
apartment buildings lnear the existing 30-unit apartment complex) on the 4our and
one-half acre tract adJac�nt to Melrose LtKe. While state agencies have raised
questions about placement of such a compler, in its proposed location, alternative
siting cauld be proposed. Current zaning would allow a maximum of 136 living
units and 240 parKing spaces an the eight and ane-half acre tract directly west of
this area owned by Neu:il. If both of these tracts were to be developed as
currently :oned for multiple housing� this part o4 Iowa City would have an
er.tremely high density. Furthermore, if these areas twhich are �udged by, ProJect
Gnen as environmentally fragilel tre developed for multiple hausing, this could
have a substantialimpact on the environment. Iowa City traffic engineers have
estimated that a maximum o4 468 trips per day of vehicular traffic would be added
hy the proposed Melrose Lake apartments alane. Combined with development of
the Neuxi] property, this maximum might approach 2000.
A further cancern regarding the development of these two tracts as multiple
family housing has to do with adequate street ac�ess and provision of city
services. The existing 30-unit apartment complex on Melrose laNe is currently
served only by one private road, Woodside Drive. Secondary limited access is,
available via Stauhe Lane� a dirt road partially harricaded, that empties onto
Melrose Avenue. Na access from Iawa City currently is available to the Neuzil
property. It is possible that a bottlenecK similar to (or warse than) the access
that services apartments and home5 off of Wee6er Street would 6e created� A
likely side-effect of a housing development on the Neu:il property could be
opening up the IUniversity Heights) deadend streets of Marietta, Leamer Court,
a��
and Olive Court as through streets and the additian of hundreds more cars
4eeding onto Melrose Avenue and Koser Avenue. This could also resultin
substantially increased traf4ic in University Heights to provide garbage, fire and
police protection, and other services to an Iowa City addition with access only
through University Heights. A further pro6lem that wauld inevitahly result from
such develapment is a heavy hurden of street improvement costs on residents af
the three University Heights streets involved. As over a third o4 these residents
are elderly on 4i>:ed incomes, assessments for paving could be a special hardship.
As the properties involved are in Iowa Cityr there would be no added tav, base to
aid in paying for these costs. These, then, are the anticipated pro6lems that
need to be addressed if and when hausing developments occur in this area.
One alternative to the development of hoth of these properties 4or multiple
family housing wouid be to review the zoning o4 this area and bring the :oning
into line with the surraunding areas fR55 and/or RSBI. fThe current petition ta
change the zoning to RS12 would have little effect on the number of units that
could be placed on the Neuzil property.)
Another alternative to the development o4 both o4 these properties for
multiple 4amily housing might he the acquisitian of some o4 this property as parK
land. This alternative raises another set o4 cancerns and possibilities. fowa
City has been divided into 17 Open Space Districts under the Mandatory Open
Space Dedicatian provisions. In each district�a calculation of deficits in existing
parH land has heen made. The area under discussion is in District V, which has a
deficit af 8.2 acres, the largest deficit for any Open Space District not on the
outs{tirts of Iowa City. For years the Iowa City Park Commission has identified
the Neuzil and Melrose LaKe properties as prime land far parK develapment. While
previous negotiatians with the Neuzilfamily have indicated that acquisition
would be v¢ry costly, development o4 any parHs in this part of the city will be
expensive, and the only alternative is to delay until the coste are higher yet or
until no property is available. (Another parK site in District V, a 4 acre tract
directly across Henton Streetfrom Roosevelt School{mown as the Miller Avenue
Park is currently a high priority for acquisition. Even if this property is acquired
fat a similarly high cost), the district will still have a deficit and the
Neuzil/Melrose LaKe property offers one of the few, if not the only sources of
parK land to serve this area.)
If action is not taHen soon to secure adequate parN land within walVting
diatance af residents of this part of the city, no land wil] be available for this
purpose. Moreaven full development plus anticipated increased traffic will
substantially change the residential character of this community. Loss a4 this
open space plus the impact of increased density would resultin a substantial
degredation in the quality a411fe for those living in this and the surroundino
neighhorhoods.
The University Heights C1ty Cauncil would ]iKe to suggest that acquiring a11 or
part of the Neuzil property as parK land would resolve same of the difficult
access, traf4ic� and density problems that full housing development of this tract
would create. In order to support such an effort, and to indicate its cammitment
to establishing a parK adJacent to University Hefghts� the U�H. City Coun�il wauld
urge its residents to vote for funds to aid in its acquisition. Depending upon the
cost o4 acquiring the Neuxil property for this purpose, it may be possible for
University Heights to fund as much as 25Y. of the cost (contingent an voter
approval). Johnson County may alsa be interested and willing to consider
a��
supporting such a project that would provide open space and green 6eltin a
densely populated area. Currently state orfederal monies are unavailable to
University Heights; however it might 6e possible for Iowa City ta put together a
61ocK grant for this purpose. Such a joint effort by our two cities and perhaps the
caunt� would certainly henefit the larger community.
Cauld studies be initiated regarding the current and potential population density
04 this area? Could a comprehensive traffic study be conducted, including
adequate provision o4 firerpolice,and other city services to potential multiple
4amily units on Melrose LaNe and Neuxil praperties? Could priorities for parK
acquisition be reviewed and ef4orts to obtain park land in this area be scheduled
in the near future? If the Neuzil property (ar part of it1 could be acquired as a
parK, a11 the children and families that live in the surrounding areas o4 Iowa City
and University Heights for years to come can cherish and enjoy it. .
While Iowa City Traf4ic Engineers have provided separate evaluations of the
impact of one development or another, a comprehensive studyaf housing density
and traffic problems in this part of the city needs ta be done. This study should
taKe into account both rush hour and full day traf4ic that would result 4ram 4u11
development of these tracts plus the opening o4 the I-380 interchange on wast
Melrose Avenue and the opening of the new Law Huilding. Increased traffic 4rom
the new apartments an West MQlrose and Mormon TreK as well as potential
development around the interchange should also be taken into actount.
Thus, alternative development possibilities include:
a) Multiple family hausing to the limits allowed by zoning.
b) Down-zoning to reduce the density possible in this area.
c) Acquisition of some af this property as parK land.
Each o4 these alternatives has implications for both cities. If options a) or b>
occur, adequate access to facilitate traffic flow and provision of fire, police� arYl
other services is needed. If option c) is desired, action must be initiated soon or
the land w111 he utilixed in other ways and will not be available for this purpose.

the kegger parties. In each instance a citation aas issued, and
both kegger rectpients advised that they may have ta re-qualtfy
should another permit be requested by either of them. We feel the

Re: Request for Attosney General's Opinion on Keg
Party Without Beer License
Gentlemen:
The followinq is a proposed draft of the question to be proposed to
the Iowa Attorney General for his opinion: �
Do private persons who dispense larqe quantities of keg
; beer at a party which is advertised to the qeneral public
in advance; w+hich is located on private reaidential
•property; which is attended by up to several hundred
people; for which admission tickets are sold; and at
which beer is then qiven away without additional charge,
all without obtaining a retail beer permit, violate the
provisions of Sections 123.2 and/or 123.122, Code of Iowa,
1983, which prohibits sale of beer at retail without a
I license?
Please feel free to make any comments on any changes or corrections
which could improve the phrasing of the question and then call me..
After qivinq the matter further thought, I am of the view that we
. will be turned down by the Attorney General in our request for an
opinion, because of the existing 1974 opinion on the same subject
matter. However, I agree that it is.worth the effort to try to qat
� the Attorney General to rule on this matter.

Mr. James C. Bauch
Black Hawk County Attorney
309 Courthouse Building
Waterloo,•Iowa 50703
Dear Jim:
l09 COURTMOUSE BL�G.
WATEHLOO. IOWA 3070]
PHONE ]IY•3Y1•2�0!
Recently a petition was presented to the Cedar Falls City Council
from concerned neighbors complaining of a larqe keg party on private
party near the University of Northern 2owa campus the weekend of
UNI homecoming. It appears that several enterprisinq students
advertised a beer party on private property and sold admission
tickets, both in advance and at the door. Once an admission ticket
was purchased, then beer was qiven away free of charqe. The
obvious attempt was to get around the requirement of obtaining
a retail beer permit. A beer truck equipped with kegs and tappers
on the side was rented, pulled up on privat4 property and used to
diepense the beer. Thinqs qot a little out of hand when several
hundred people showed up, and the size of the crowd dwarfed the
facilities available for the party. •
i was requested to attend a meetinq with City Attorney Judd Truax,
Assistant City Attorney David Price and Cedar Falls Police Chief
Paul Hoffey and Assistant Chief Loras Jaeger. The consensus at
that meetinq was that the best way to attack the problem was to
atte�npt to stop the supplying of beer which appears to be at the
heart of all the other problems created by the size o£ the crowd.
I have prepared a propoaed question for you to pose to the Attorney
General of Iowa in order to obtain a ruling. Azmed with a favorable
rulinq, prosecution of the organizers of the party for eale of beer
without a permit under Chapter 123 of the Code of iowa would then
be in order.
There is an existinq Attorney General!s opinion, but it is adverse,
and appears to be directed to a situation where the qiving away of
beer at a function is only incidential to the'otherwise legitimate
funetion. A copy of that earlier Attorney General's opinion is
enclosed for your information.

You relate that the question arisea as a result of "large beer

T.he Honorable James C Bauch

The issue• posed was examined in a prior opinion of our
ofEice: In 1974 Op.Att'y.Cen. 728, ve opined Chac a beer permit
uas noc required for a priva�e cicizen or an organization to give
nway beer at funcCions where an admission fee is charged or a
donation is requested. A dual interprecacion of thac opinion is
possible. The opinion could be construed co mean that the beer
is "given away" unless :urther consideracion is paid beyond the
admission fee. Alternatively, it could be in[erpreted co mean
chat the issue of whether the char�ing of an admission fee
constitutes, in vhole or in part, the 'sale" of beer is a factual
quescion to be determined on a case-by-case basis. We adopt the
latter as the correct interpretation.
The 1974 opinion co�ences vith the premise that an activi-
ty,.if noc expressly prohibited, is Legal. Iowa Code § 123.2
(1983), however, staces that unless expressly permitted by Ch.
123, traffic in beer is prohibited. The state possesses the
auchority to regulate che manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors, regarded as being "dangerous to the public health,
safecy, and morals," under its police power. 1964 Op�Att'�.Cen.
248. Under Iowa Code § 123.122 (1983) no person may sell beer
without an applicable license. For an event where beer aill be
consumed at the location it is sold, a class "B" petmit is
required. Iowa Code 5�323.131 (1983). The operative crord in a11
these provisions is "sell." It is noc a defined term, so it has
its ordinary meaning in coumon usage. A legal dictionary defines
"se11" to mean "to dispose of by sale." B'lack's Law Dictiona ,
1525 (4th rev, ed, 1969). "Sale" is in turn e ine to mean a
contract between tvo parties, called, respectively, the 'seller'
(or vendor) and the 'buyer' (or purchas.er), by which ehe former,
in consideration of the paymenc or promise of payment of a
cercain price in money, transfers to che lacter the title and
possession of property." Id. at 1503. Of course, a resulting
profit or loss is not detezminative of whether a transaction
cons[itutes a "sale."
Accordingly, it is our judgment that the issue of whether
the charging of an admission fee constitutes, in whole or in
par�, the "sale" of beer is a factual question to be detesmined
on a case-hy-case basis. A factor to be considered is ahether
services ocher than the provision of beer are covered in the
admission fee. If it ia determined that the ad ieeiont fie
constitutes the "sale" of beer, then a Cla� "�pg�
reyuired. //

Nrs. Paul Jones of 1918 Tremont attended as origlnal petitioners
For reeerScted parking beeveea 18eh Street and 20eh Street on Tremont.
Natification oF Che meeting qas poeted at C1ty Hall an 9 Janvary 1984.
1. Tremont Screet Parking
The Comwittee received the resulte of a mailed poll Caken from
residenea of Tremont Street betveen 18ch Sereet and 20eh Street.
Of 21 realdente polled, the following results aere received:
No response 5
Leeve parkiag ae=1e g

Staff inembere brief�d the Co�ittee regarding the vote compoaltion,
and reco�ended laeving the parking eituation ae !t ie. Hr. and
Hrs. Jones etated that the street ia narrov and that anov removal
ie,a problem. 8ovaver, if chn five non—anevera ere combined vlth •
ehoee viahing to leave ehe situation ae it is, !t !s apparent that
66i of ehe reeidenee ere eetiefied vith the eituation. Clenn
movad to reco�end to [he Councll ehat no aotion be taken regarding
reaericetng parking !n the area cited, aad Dunn eeconded. The
'motion carrled unanlmouely. ' �
The Committee requeete Council concurrence with ite reco�endation.'
2. SSgnel Light, 20th aad College S[reete
�Thn Coomittee revieved a recommendatlan ehat ehe eignnl.light at
20th and College Streete be changed from e combination vehicular/�
padeetrlan nctivated to pedeatrian activated. The peoposad
... .�... ..���
Page 2
configuration vould leave a flashing red for 20th Street traffic,
and green for College Streee traffic. Upon pedestrian activation,
all 1lghts vould turn solid red far the prescribed statutory
time. The Po11ce, Engineering and Traffic opetations ataff
members concur vith the reco�endation. I[ vas pointed out that
the light has been as recommended since one of ehe first snova
of the season vhen a snowplov apparently damaged the cycle con-
trols. There has been no problem.
Dunn moved for changing ehe configuratlon to pedeserian activated
and Glenn seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Council eoncurrence vith the Co�ittee's recommendation ia
requested.
3. Traffic Signals, 18ch, Waterloo Road, Vallpy Park Drive, Schreiber
. Street and Rainbov Interseetion
On 30 November 1983 Mr. Beek Drought to ehe Commlttee's attencion
a poteneial traffic hazazd under the currenc configuraelon (see
memo and draving, ateached). In a nutshell, left [urning traffic
off Rainbov (veatbound) and Left turning traEfic (northbound)
from Waterloo Road onto Valley Park Drive encounter right turning
traffic from 18th Streee. This also causes lane jockaying for
vestbound Rainbow Drive traFfic. -
After considerable discussion it aas d¢termined that the right-
turn arrova on Rainbov (vestbound) and 18th•(eaetbound) allov
vehicles to tuzn at speeda up to 20 mph average. These vehicles .
eneounter traffic attempting to turn onto Valley Park Drive.
LeEt tucning traffic onto Schreiber Street doean'C help the
situation. To alleviate ehe problem, we can use ehe "Aight
Turn on Red" lav. Since vehiclee muet come to a complete etop •
before Curning on red, the chance for clearance betveen right
and left turning traffic Se lncreaeed. Right tucns on red are
not permissible if ehe right-of-vay is impeded.
Bused on the evidence presented, Dunn moved Co recommend to the
Council Chat ae eliminate the right turn arrowe on Rein6ov Drive
and 18Ch Stceet, vith right turne permitted on red. Glenn
seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The Committee requests Council concurrence with Sts reco�endatlon.

PAOJECT: CONTROL OF WRGE BEER KEGGER PARTIES
DATES: September through Auqust
PARTICIPANTS: Neighborhood Residents, University Students, Merchants,
City Officials and University officials
SITUATION
On October 19, 1983 a petition signed by more ehan 100 citizens oE the
City of Cedar Falls and rasidents livinq near the University of Northern
Iowa campus was presented to the Council members of the Public Safety
Committee concerninq the number and size of trapper truck keg parties in
the College Hill area. In addition, a prepared pzesentation was read by a
representative of the petitioning group. �Several residents of the College
Hill area were also present to voice their concerns of vandalism, noise,
littez, pazking problems and other matters associated with the large .
keqger parties.
A spokesperson for the Greeks Association pointed out to the Committee
that keggers are often held in regards to certain functions at the
fraternities and sororities but do not generate the problems associated
with kegqezs aG other locations. She did state that the Greeks would be
very cooparative in attempting to resolve whatever problems there may be
regarding kegges parties.
A lonq time resident of the Colleqe riill area and representing the
College Hill Neighborhood Association read a position statement of the
Association which opposed the eoaunercialization oE beer distribu[ion by
distributors in residential aceas in the City of Cedar Falls.
Tha poseibility of enactinq an ordinance limiting the nwnber of kegs
at a party or limitinq [he number of porsons present at any one party was
diseuesad. The Chief of Police reviewed some of the kegqera which have
been held this fall, indicatinq the types of problems most ofton pravalent
with them. The Mayor advised that Ghe City is considerinq a number of
options for woxking out some of the problems with larqe kegger parties.
Also, the group diseusaed the possibility of a Eacility being made availablo
for lazge partiea that the students may aish to have. ,

The Committee recommended that the City Attorney meet with the Chief
of Police in discussion oE solutions to this problem and report back at
another meeting. The Chief of Police asked that he be given the oppor-
tunity to form a committee through the College Hill Neighborhood Assxiation,
whose purpose would be to iealize passible solutions to the pzoblem of
large kegger parties. This Committe would be composed of influential repre-
sentatives or individuals having impact in conflict resolution. The Public
SaFety Cormnitiee was receptive to this suqgestion and coneurred upon the
zequest.
COLLEGE HILL NEIGNBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
The College Hill Neighborhood Association is a four-year old coalition �
of people concerned with creaiing a sense of neighborhood togetherness and '.
i
working toward the impcovement oi the College Nill area surrounding the .
I
University of Northern Iowa.
Organized in 1980, the Association consists of reprasantatives from '
the Univeraity, College Hill Merchants, the UNI Student Body, long-term '
residents and City officials. ,
Diverse in its interests, the Association's involvements include:
beautiEieation of the Hill area, rights and responsibilities of tenants
end landlords, compliance to City ordinances, openinq up tha lines of
communication amonq a11 the persons livinq or working in tha Hill area for
eonflict resolution, the Whistle Stop Project to combat sexual assaults,
self-defense seminars for women, infozmational foxuma and workehops,
establishing handicapped ramps in the Nill business area, sponsoring CPR
classea and moat recently initiatinq and implementing the nawly astabliehed
Tapper Keg Ordinance.
SCOPE OF PROBLEM '
��, Kegqer parties on campus are not nea to other college areas of the
� . United Statast for example, Central Michigan Univeteity reachad ti�e boiling
� point situation last year when a series of large parties diszvpted the
a���
- 3 -
entire campus area. More than 23 arrests were made in one weekend alone.
Since then the University officials, student groups, fraternities and
sororities and neighbors have been meetinq in an attempt to resolve the
problem before the coming of next spring. Michigan State University had
its problems last fall as well, and now the East Lansing Human Relations
Commission is considering measures such as block party pexmits and hiqher
fines for noise ordinanee violations in an effort to deal with the problem
of large kegger parties. Similar problems are beinq reported at the
University of Virginia as vell as the University of Wisconsin in Oshkosh.
On a recent Satnrday afternoon at American University in Washington,
D.C. a Coors beer txuck pulled up to the campus amphitheater and began
distributing beer to more than 1,000 students. Not only were 15 kegs of beer
consumad, but Coors provided posters for docm raoms, hats for their heads and
bumper stickers for their cars.
Beer eompanies like Coora, Miller and Anheuser-Husch have a eollege
marketing program. They employ student representatives on more than 500
campuses around this country. xhe representative's job is to cultivate the
f
market, which is the student drinker and the•potential student drinker. T e
obvious aim is to convince the student that their brand is the best and thie
is dona by acquainting the student viUi the beer keq. One Miller's repre-
sentative reports that the lasgost drinking £unction is final week at

� pUTD00R RECREATIONAL COMMITPEE �
On January 26, 1984 the College Hill Neighborhood Asaociation met and
��' discuased the problem of keggers on the Hill. The outcome of the discusaion
� aas establishment of a co�rsnittee to woxk on the issue of larqe kegqer partiea.
' Representatives were selected to maka up the committee, and 'the following
' organizations were includedj the Student eody Association, Greek Society,
' q '
UNI Administration, the Colleqe Hill Meschants Association, long time
residents, and the College Hill Neighborhood Association. The committee
was to be chaired by the Cedar Falls Chief of Police. The group eventually
became known as the Outdoor Recreational Committee, whose purpose was to
explore avenues of resolution to the problem of disturbances caused by
uncontrollable large kegqer parties.
The first meeting of the Outdoor Recreational Committee occuzred on
Februaxy 16, 1984 with qood representation from those previously mentioned.
it was detezmined at this meeting that any solution would not be possible
until tha problem was clearly defined and if the makeup of the committee was
such that a response to Ehe problem could be formulated. Discussion centered
around a number of issues concerning group fastivities. It was mutually
agreed that not all large kegger parties are uncontrollable, and, thezefore,
are not responsible for disturbanees. However, those keggar parties most
often associated with disturbances�are those which have had little pzeplanninq
or organiution. .
The second meating of the Outdoor Aecreational Committee occurred on
Marah 1, 1984. Additional progress was made and eonsiderable input was
received from participating representatives. A request for comnittee
represen[ation on behalf of Campus Security was recommended as well as
represen[ation from the City leqal advisor. Possible solutions began to
form in the minds of the participants, and it became apparent that tha most
feasible approach to conflict resolution would lie in the direction of a
City ordinance with kegger permit requirements. The meetinq adjourned with
cort¢nii[ee members beinq asked to preparo some of the parameters concerninq
a City ozdinance and permit requirements for the next meeting.
The third and final meetinq of the Outdoor Recreational Committae took
place Maroh 7, 1984. Exceptionally good progress was made during the
meetinq, and a City ordinance was prepared in draft with requirements for
kegger permits clearly defined. The intent of the committea was not to
eliminate kegger parties in and arovnd the campua area but instead to
discourage the uncontrollable, unplanned, disorganized events, which more
often result in complaints by citizens. Rcalizing that students do have a
a��t�
- 5 -
propensity for parties, it was decided the ordinance and accompanying
requirements would not be overly restrictive but would instead generate
responsibility and control and, in turn, should reduce the numbez of dis-
turbances caused by same. The ordinance and subsequent requirements were
finalized by end of ineeting and were pzesented before the Public Safety
Committee of the City Council with attendance by all members of the Outdoor
Reereational Cou¢nittee during the same month.
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMZTTEE OF THE CZTY COUNCIL
A communique summarizinq proqress made by tFe Outdoor Recreational
Cormoittee was forwarded to the chairman of the Public Safety Committee of
f '
the City Couneil on October 19, 1983. Reeommendations vere included in the
correspondence for study and review by the members of the Council Committee.
Those recoaonendations aeYe as folluws:
1. Limit the sale of tickets for large keggers. ,
2. Exercise control over the number of persons to�be permitted to ,
attend by issuance of a City pexmit and assure availability of .
sufficient rest room faeilities.
3. Not allow more than one keg to bo tapped at one time.y+ithout a
permit.
; 4. Require the party area to be confined within property limits,
and trash cans to be available.
5. Have prepared siqns available for issuanca to permit holder
indieatinq City ordinances applieabie.
� 6. Require foodstuffa to ba available at party location. .
�, The author oi this correspondence, the Chief of Polico, peraonally co�nended ��
• the participants in the Outdoor Rocreational Committee meetings for their
j positive approach to problem resolvement and indicated that the most important .
, £actor cominq out of the meetings wns the acceptability by those participants
I of requirinq the issuanca oE a City pormit by ordinance for large partias.
�I It waa also raconvnended that the Public Safoty Committee provide an open
� heari.ng on this issue so as to receive input from the entire community.
a��s�
- 6 -
The PubliC Safety Committee did meet ort Malch 19 and April 12 Of 1984
to consider the basic inputs provided by the Outdoor Recreational Committee
to an ordinance designed to control lazqe tapper parties held on private
property and in residential neighborhoods. The Council Committee reviewed
draft material provided by�the Chie£ of Police and Assistant City Attorney.
With additional verbal input from persons present, including Outdoor
Recreational Committee members, the comnittee did asrive at final amendments
to the draft ordinance which aere then subject to being plaaed in ordinance
po=m by the City Attorney. The Einal ordinance is as attached.
CONCLUSION
As of August, 1984, kegger permits have been issued to eight (8) various
individuals and organizations acound the City oE Cedar Falls. None of [hese
have resulted�in complaints by neiqhbors, and it appears that the require-
ments listed by ordinance are beinq eomplied with. As a matter of fact, two
pecmits we=e obtained before the ordinance became effective earlier this year,
with the permit holders simply desiring to comply vith the majority concensus
of the community. Continued problems such as those previously experienced
vith large kegger parties ace not antic3pated. There seems to be a willing-
ness by Univarsity students as well as permanent residents of the eommunity
to comply with the wishes of all. The suecessful initiation and implementation
of the Tapper Kegger Ordinanca is due principally to the inviWtion to parti-
cipate by those persons and organizations affected by such an ordinanae and
the open dialogue that folloved. The opportunity to be included in this
pzoeess contributed greatly to a positive approach to sesolvement of a serious
'� community problem.

Re: Meeting of Legislative Committee with Area Legislators
The City Council Legislative Comnittee will be meeting with area legislators
in the near future regarding the upcoming legislative session. At that
meeting we hope to discuss a variety of issues which are of concern to the
City. Below is a list of issues we may wish to include. Some of these are
ongoing concerns, same are the result of specific legislation which has been
considered in recent years, and some are new concerns �ahich ought to be
addressed.
1. Local option and taxes - This would involve enabling legislation to allow
municipalities more flexibility in implementing local taxes, generally
with citizen approval.
2. Fair play/mandated costs - This requires the legislature to carefully
examine the financial impact on governmental subdivisions of each piece
of legislation and, where necessary, to provide financial resources for
meeting new expenses incurred as a result of the enactment of such
legislation.
3. Munitipal assistance - We should encourage the legislature to continue
this program.
4, Scope of collective bargaining - We should continue in our strict
opposition to any legislation which would broaden the scope of mandatory
subjects for bargaining.
5. Security for City funds deposited in banks/savings and loan associations
- We should support either restoratton of the sinking fund concept or
corrective legislation which would make the system for pledging of assets
by banks and sav9ngs and loans more workable for both cities and finan-
cial institutions.
5. Open meetings law - We should support further modification to allow for
closed sessions to discuss strategies in all negotiations (such as 1oca1
franchise negotiations) and not just labor negotiations.
7. Liquor/beer pranotional specials - We should raise this as an issue of
concern in our discussions with area legislators.
8. Civil Service reform - We should take a position in support of revising.
or repealing the current antiquated Civil Service statute and encourage
substitute legislation more compatible with modern personnel practices
and collective 6argaining mandates,
PAGE 2
9. World Trade Center - We should discuss with area legislators the poten-
tial funding sources for this project.
10. Expansion of tax abatement eligibility criteria - Such expansion could be
in the area of tax abatement considerations for certain comnercial devel-
opment which is currently ineligible.
11. Public records law - This would involve the exclusion as public records
of certain working documents or of written materials provided for the
purpose of discussion in executive session, as well as written documents
relating to matters which involve a citizen's right to privaty such as
civil rights canplaints and investigations, job applications, etc.
12. Mobile homes/manufactured housing - This 1984 legislation should be
modified to allow restriction of the placement of mobile hanes to mobile
home parks only. .
13. Veterans' preference - We should support the removal of absolute veter-
ans' preference and its replacement with a limited preferente considera-
tion such as a point system.
14. ldastewater treatment requirements - We should stress to our legislators
the dilemna we face in having lost our funding eligibility until 1988 or
1989 while still being required by the Water, Air, and Waste Management
Cortmission to meet its previously established 1988 effluent standards.
These standards should be relaxed or extension for compliance should be
granted.
There may be other items which Council members wish to have included. If you
have other suggestions, comnents on any of the above-listed items, or perhaps
prefer that certain items not be included, please raise your concerns at the
informal meeting on December 17, 1984. The Legislative Comnittee wishes to
schedule this meeting at the earliest conveniente of our area legislators.
It will probably occur in December or January.
Please contact me if you have other questions or concerns regarding this
matter.

Re: Landfill Operation and Equipment
The landfill operation in essence consists of excavating an area, filling the
area with refuse, and providing adequate earth cover.
The City has recently excavated, by contract with a private firm, an area 400
feet wide by 900 feet long with depths of excavation ranging from 2 feet to
60 feet. The soil excavated from this project was stockpited near the
project site to be used for daily and final cover. Refuse is then placed and
canpacted in the excavation, as it is received at the landfill, in eight foot
high lifts. At the end of each day, a six inch thick continuous cover of
soil is placed over the refuse that has been deposited and canpacted that
day. The purpose of the daily cover is to control blowing debris, vermin,
fires, scavenging, and water penetration.
The lift sequence is continued until the refuse fill reaches the design
grade. Recent prajects had heights of refuse fill varying from 20 feet to 60
feet. Final design grade is higher than the original topography of the site.
This increase in the height increases the capacity and correspondingly the
life of the landfill. After the refuse is brought up to the final grade, a
two foot thick canpacted clay cap is placed over the refuse to seal it from
the environment. The cap is then seeded to establish vegetation growth to
inhibit erosion.
The landfill currently receives approximately 6,800 tons of refuse per month.
The individual excavation projects have historically lasted approximately
three years. It is estimated that the present landfill site will last until
the year 2014.
In order to improve the landfill operation the Streets and Sanitation
Division has proposed the purchase of a new self-loading scraper in the FY86
landfill budget. However, because money is currently available in the
landfill operating fund and several demonstrator scrapers are now on the
market at greatly reduced prices, Publit IJorks recommends purchasing the
scraper now. The estimated cost is E80,000.00. This seif-loading scraper is
a replacement of the existing pull-type scraper purthased several years ago.
The existing scraper is a light-weight piece of equipment that is canstantly
breaking down and is no longer usable.
A self-loading scraper will provide the following benefits to the landfill
operation: 1) reduce excavation costs, 2) reduce wear on existing equipment,
and 3) improve ability to provide cover material.
�T�7
Reduce Excavation Costs - It is estimated that contracted excavation costs
can be reduced approximately 25% by hauling earth fran unexcavated areas for
refuse cover material rather than using stockpiled earth. Using FY82
excavation tosts, the resultant savings would be 517,000 per year.
Reduce Wear on Existina Equipment - Existing power equipment at the landfill
consists of one refuse tanpacter with a push blade and one bulldozer with a
push blade. These two pieces of equipment are used to move and compact
refuse and ta place six inches of earth cover material over the refuse each
day. The cover material is pushed an average of 450 feet from its storage
site to the refuse dumping site. The bulldozer is used continuously far this
purpose. The usefut life of the bulldozer would be greatly extended if a
self-loading scraper were available to haul cover material to the refuse
dumping site.
Im rove Abilit to Provide Cover Material - The City must cover exposed
re use wi six inc es o ear eac ay. When pushtng earth fran the
storage site to the dumping site with a bulldozer, much of the material
spills out fran each side of the bulldozer blade. It is not econanical to
pick up this spillage since each blade full of dirt would require three trips
from the storage site to the dumping site. As a result, more than six inehes
of cover material is applied to each lift of refuse, thereby wasting cover
material and reducing total landfill volume.
Landfill personnel use approximately 25,000 cubic yards of earth per year for
cover material. With the present aperatian, this earth is moved twice.
First, by the excavation contractor to the storage site, then by landfill
personnel to the dumping site. This double hauling and the associated costs,
as we11 as the problem associated with hauling earth with a bulldozer, would
be eliminated if the City purchased a self-loading scraper.

Re: Council Referral - Problems/Complaints at Washington and Linn
In a recent referral from Council, the question was asked if there were sub-
stantial problems/complaints regarding eastbound traffic at Washington and
Linn Streets. I cannot recall any complaints that have been received from
the public or from staff regarding eastbound traffic at the intersection af
Nashington Street and Linn Street. 7he accident experience at this intersec-
tion has been reviewed from January 1, 1983 to December 1, 1984. There was
one reported accident during this 23 month period. One of the participants
in that accident ran a red light striking the other automobile. This is
unrelated ta the one-way designation.
Based upon the accident experience and my recall of complaints not received
from the public, it is my opinion that there are no substantial problens
regarding this intersection.
Should you have additional questions or comnents regarding this, please don't
hesitate to contact me.

Date: December 11, 1984
To: Charles Schmadeke, Director of Public Works
From: James Brachtel, Traffic Engineer
Re: Council Referrals - Handicapped Parking Space on Capitol Street near
Younker's
A recent referral from Council asked if spaces could be designated on Capitol
Street, near Younker's, for handicapped parking. A handicapped parking space
could be placed near Younker's west entrance. However, this location
presents several problems.
PARALLEL PARKING - State law requires a handicapped parking space to be 12
feet wide. The City cannot ensure that a 12 foot wide space will be guaran-
teed in a parallel parking situation. Capitol Street was designed with a
nine foot wide parking lane.
Additionally, a handicapped driver exiting the driver's side of the vehicte
will be in the traffic lane. If the individual requires a wheelchair, and
mounts and dismounts from the wheelthair on the driver's side of the vehicle,
she/he is in a most exposed situation.
CURB DROP LOCATION - The closest curb drop location is adjacent to a truck
loading dock. An individual requiring the curb drop will have to travel in
the street to the curb drop. There will be the possibility of maneuvering in
the same space as a large truck. Maneuvering around a truck has inherent
risks due to reduced visibility of the•handicapped individual and the limited
visibility of the driver.
CURRENT USAGE - The area is currently designated as a loading zone. The
merchants of Old Capitol Center have expressed the need for additional
loading space for a long time. The proposed parking space would reduce
available toading zone space.
ALTERNRTE - The City has provided handicapped parking in the Capitol Street
ramp. It is my understanding that this space is underutilized now. However,
if additional space is required, the Capitol Street ramp sites would be far
superiar to on-street parking spaces.
RECOMMENOATION
I recommend that the City not place a handicapped parking stall on Capitol
Street. Should you require additional comments or have additional questions,
please don't hesitate to cantact me.

Re: Bristol Orive/Old Dubuque Road Area - Street Intersections
The. Council has received a letter from Russell Snyders of Shive-Hattery
Assotiates requesting that the Council discuss the intersections of
Bristol Orive and Dubuque Road. This request is made on behatf of Dean
Oakes. Mr. Oakes is planning further development of his property north of
Old Dubuque Road, off Oakes Drives and Quincent Street. The single family
development of this area is reaching a point at which secondary acce$s
will be necessary. The only access point at this time is Oakes Drive. An
appropriate secondary access to Mr. Oakes' property would be a road
running north from Old Dubuque Road along an alignment discussed by the
previous Council for what was known as Foster Raad.
The previous Council adopted a resolution (attached) which set forth a
policy for the function and alignment of "Foster Road" between Prairie du
Chien and Old Dubuque Road. The intersection at Old'Dubuque Road, shown
on Exhibit B, is one which would require action by the City to acquire
sufficient land to construct the wide radius turn shown. Mr. Snyders is
requesting the Council to reconsider the intersection design at Old
Dubuque Road, Bristol Drive and the road to the north and look at an
intersection which may require the acquisition of less land through the
cooperatiori of Mr. Oakes.
Included in the packet are four intersection designs, Exhibits A-D.
Exhibit A follows our current design standards with a minimum offset
between Bristol Drive and Road "X" of 125 feet; Exhibit B is the intersec-
tian design adopted .by resolution in 1983; Exhibit C is a typical T
intersection; and Exhibit � shows a 100 foot offset between Bristol Drive
and Road "X". All of these designs will require the acquisition of some
land for construction and each design has positive and negative attributes
in relation to traffit flow, turning movements, and the impact on existing
development.
At this time the Council is being asked whether consideration will be
given to alternatives to Exhibit B. If the Council is willing to look at
other intersection designs, data regarding the costs to the City of each
aiternative and an evaluation of the traffic patterns for each will be
forthcoming.

POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT
November, 1984
Dtost categories of offenses reported by the public remained
the same or declined slightly in November as compared to
October. No category of offenses changed significantly dur-
ing the thirty-day period. A total of 2822 citizen generated
requests for police services was received in November and
3145 in October. Disorderly conduct and reduction in the
number of motor vehicle accidents contributed substantially
to the reduced number of reported crimes.
Arrests, citations and tickets issued in November increased
to 3819 from the 3258 noted in October. A total of one-
hundred seventy-faur (including eight juveniles) arrests for
criminal offenses were effected in November; five-hundred
sixty-three traffic citations issued; as well as 2722 parking
tickets liberally. .. but fairly. .. distributed.
Investigative activities slowed slightly during November. Bad
checks and similar activities absorbed a great deal of time.
Members of the Patrol and Investigative Divisions completed
twenty-four hours of a basic skills refresher course. In
addition, two officers completed recruit training at the Iowa
Law Enforcement Academy, and eight Iowa City Officers and
eighty-two invitees from social service agencies and other
components of the criminal justice system attended a day-long
seminar on "Intra-family Sexual Abuse." The Multi-Agency
Training System, a coalition of the several law enforcement
agencies of the county, and the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy.
Animal Control activities continued at about the same pace
during this November as in November, 1983.
Statistical reports are attached.

Oear Mayor and City Council:
Enclased please find the Human Rights Cortmittee Report on the Survey on
Accessibility of the Nandicapped to Public Accomnodatians in Downtown Iowa
City and the surrounding malls.
The Survey evolved from concerns of handicapped persons in our community
that there is not enough awareness of problems of access and attention to
problems that confront handicapped persans.
The Report revealed though there is much to be done Iowa City has in many
ways met the criteria for actess of the handicapped. The most lingering
question not addressed in the survey is to what extent new apartments
being constructed in Iowa City have one of every ie�1 apartments that meet
specifications for accessibility and adaptability to the needs of handi-
capped persons (i.e., alarm systems; maneuvering space; accessible
entrances; storage; controls; adaptable bathroans, etc.).
We hope this report will be useful.

RATIONALE FOR COMMUNITY HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY SURVEY
A Barrier Free Environment
No one is entirely sure how many Americans have some type of handicapping con-
dition; estimates run Co more than 55 million when they include tne elderly
whose disabilities are caused by the aging process. In any event, in the United
States today it is thought that one out of ten persons has limited mobility
due to a temporary or a permanent physical handicap. Improved medical tech-
nologies �vhich provide for mobility where it was not possible in the past and
an expanAing population of older persons is increasing this number every year.
Yet in general, the physical environment of our Nation's comnuni[ies continues
to be designed to accommodate the able-bodied, thereby perpetuating the isola-
tion and dependence of disabled persons. To break this pattern requires a com-
mitment. The adoption and implementatinn of this cominitment'in Iowa City has
reyuired the mobilization of the resources of the private and puDlic sectors to
integrate handicapped people into our community.
Who are the HandicaDPed?
Not everyone who is disabled can be classified as handicapped. Conversely, not
everyone who is handicappeA is necessarily disabled. A handicappetl person, in a
cnntext of buildings and adjacent parking spaces, is anyone who is hanperea in
his or her mobility or functioning (as compared with an able-bodied person) as a
result of obstacles put in his ar her way by the desiyn of a Duilding, the
choice of hardware and equipment and the arranyement of outside parking spaces.

� a Barrier-Free Environment
As a result of improved rehabilitation inethods, healthier diets, better sanitary
conditions and improved medical care, far greater numbers of disabled people now
have the potential to live useful and relatively independent lives. As a
corollary to this, handicapped people are increasingly being Lhought of as citi-
zens whose civil rights are being abridged by the presence of barriers. As a
society we need not tolerate barriers, public or prTvate, which prevent any of
nur citizens from leading a full life using all public accominodations.
Moreover, careful planning anA creative problem solving substantially reduce
costs.
The Iowa Civil Rights Act of 1960, Sec. 601A.2 defines "Vublic Accommodation":
P�<btic accamnodnti.on: m¢ane aach and auery place, aatabZia*-
ment, or faciltit,y of r�hatever kind, natttre, or claas tnat

`acilitiea or gooda to the generrsl �ubltic for fee o* charae or
,qratuitmteZ,y, it ahall be deemed a public acco��ttions.
The [owa City Code, Chapter 18, Section 18-33(d) provides:

Thus, lawyers advise "the City may designate special classes and/or
recreational services exclusively for the disabled without being in viola-
tion of Aiscrinination law. However, the trend today is ta suppart
"mainstreaming". If a Aisabled person desires to participate in a reyularly
offereA class/service, the City must accommodate [hat persan if such accom-
modation can be reasonably accomplished in a manner as to pratect tne per-
sonal safety of the disabled participant and other participants in the
activity".

ACCESSIBILITY CHECKLIST
The City of [owa City Human Rights Commission is committed [o inform ci[izens
about barrier free aspects in our community. The object is Co expose decision
making individuals and groups in aur community to the problems of architectural
barriers, to create public dialo9ue amony these individuals and groups, and to
make them aware of their responsibilities as members of this comnunity.
A community building survey was conducted Co identify architectural barriers as
defined by the fowa State Building Code and to uncover examples of barrier free
buildings intended for use by the public in IoNa City. Besides providing a
valuable service to handicapped persons in the community, the comnunity survey
focuses the cortm�nity's eyes and ears upon architectural barriers. It creates
interest in barrier-free construction. It draws the attention of public affi-
cials to cases of non-compliance with existing laNs, codes and reyulations. It
will alloN settin9 up a program for continuing effort to eliininate architectural
barriers in our community by systematic monitoring of pending constructian, and
contact anA follow-up with building owners, architects and builders to ensure
that new buildings and building renovations are barrier-free.
An Accessibility Checklist was prepared based on criteria contained in the July
1983 [owa State Building Code: Standards for Makiny Buildings Intended for Use
� the General Public Accessible to and Functional for the Physically
HanAica ed. The lowa City Human Ri9hts Commission Checklist expanAed survey
orms prepared by the Johnson County Citizens Committee (1984) and the
University of [oHa (1980). The Checklist was printed on pressure sensitive
duplicate pages so that owners/mana9ers of each building or business surveyed
could receive a si9ned (by the surveyor) copy of the survey immediately upon
completion of the survey.
Ten areas were chosen as applicable by the type of business or service offered,
and the architectural design of the 6uilding. Building access and facilities
usually associated with getting to and from and for movement inside that were
checked: Parking; Walks; Ramps; Entrances/Exits/Doors/DoorHays; S[air and
Steps; Restrooms; Nater Fountains; Public Telephones; Elevators; Harning
Signals/HazarAs/Safety; and special Comfort considerations. Responses to
multiple questions under the areas listed above were summarized as to Whe[her
the criteria under each major area were met, not met ar did nat apply.
The survey covered the major malls, and downtown lowa City including the central
business district and north of the central business district. Churches and yas
stations were excluded. The downtown boundaries were:
North - Bloomington Street
East - Van Buren Street
South - Washi�gton Street
West - Madison Street
Besides Old Capitol Mall, other malls surveyed were: Sycamore, Eastdale, lst
Avenue Mini Mall, 4ardway and Towncrest �4edtcal f,enter.
One hundred survey instruments were completed encompassing 275 buildings, busi-
nesses anA service institutions.

SPECIAL COMMENTS
�
More rainps and better desiyneA restraoms are needed as are special con-
siderations for Che blind and the hearing imparied.
[n those structures where Lhere are elevators, the depth dimensions of the cab
are likely to be less than 51" deep. No elevators were surveyed that had iden-
tifying features for the blind.
Newer establishments are mare likely to be barrier free (public res[rooms, water
fountains, public telephones).
In public restrooms, Cowel dispensers, hand dryers and disposal units are apt to
he mounteA more than the recomnended 40" from the ftoor.

PRESENT ACTIVITIES IN [OWA C[TY TO UPHOLD STANDARDS AND CRITERIA TO IMPROVE
HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY
On 28 August 1984, the Iowa City Council approved a 16 point plan (costiny
510,590) to make some municipal services more accessiAle to the handicapped and
disabled. Federal revenue sharing funding (56UO,OUO in FY 84) depend on ser-
vices being more accessible by 17 Uctober 1984:

Recreation Center, Mercer Park and City Park accessible to the han-
dicapped.
At the same r�eeting the Council made three policy decisions:
1, fhannel all renovatian and nea construction projects for tne city
through one office to ensure that accessibility standards are met.
?. Install flashing lights in all city buildings to act as alarms for deaf
persons.
3. Increase the fine from 515 to 535 for unauthorized parking in reserved
handicapped spots.
The I1.5. Oepartment of Housing and Urban Development made available loN interest
loans to finance housing projects for the physically handicapped. A loan of
5735,0�0 Has made recently to Systems Unlimited Oevelopment Corporation to build
21 living units far the hanAicapped in Iowa City.
The iowa City School Board plans to spend at least 575,ODU to improve the
Central Administretion Office in Sabin School by making the board's meeting roon
accessible to Lhe handicapped, The board has earmarked 575,OOU from thi.s year's
budget for the project and 1s ezpected to increase this budget in future years.
The funds will go toward renovating a gymnasium on the first floor of [he
Central Administratlan Building to provide a board meeting room and a multi-
purpose recreation area. This will move the board meeting room from the second
floor to make it accessible to Ehe handicapped as well as assure that many more
people will be able to attend the board meetings.
The University of lowa - The U1 has an Office of Services for the Handicapped.
Accordi�g to a series of articles on UI campus accessibility of the handicapped
(written by Mary Boone The Dail lowan in January, February 1984) the U1 is
mostly barrier free. Most �it%s on campus meet lowa State Buildiny Code
and American National Standard specificatians.

NHAT MORE CAH BE DONE ABOUT CONTINUING PROBLEMS OF ACCESSIBILITY FOR THE
HANOICAPPED
Accessible Housing
City officials have various tools available to them which da not require federal
funding but can nonetheless assist in the development of accessible housing.
Zanin - Traditionally, zoning has beeri used to control the growth and
orderly deve lopment of cities. In much the same way, city zoning
laws may be used ta facilitate the placement of deinstitutionalized
persons in the community. Through diversified living arrengements
such as group homes, independent living centers and semi-
independent apartments, the nonnalizatian process of severely
disabled individuals may be achieved. 2oning laws can help to
facilitate such alternative living arrangements.
Zoning can also be an effective tool in attracting private sector
involvement in the developnent (new construction, renovations, or
modifications) of independent living sites, recreation facilities
and wrk places. Private sector involvemen[ is a key factor in
providing alternative sources of housing.
Building Codes - Building codes should complement zoning ordinances and be
��ned to assist city planners, architects/contrectors and the
general public on the minimun standards necessary for achieving
accessible new and/or renovated structures. Time, energy and money
can be saved by uniform, practical building codes which adapt the
environment for persons Hith disabilities.
Two excellent, detailed minimun accessibitity guidelines eity officials may
wish to incorporate into their building codes are:
- The American National Standards Specifications for Mak;ng
�Build�in s_ and Facilities Accessible to and 6e Useable �

PUBLIC FUNDS AND TAX [NCENTIVES AVAILABLE fOR CORRECTING/IMPROVING FACILITIES
Tax Incentives - Housing and related support facitities may he greatly enhanced
by giving business persons incentives to make their facilities accessible. A
federal program desiyned to stimulate business participation is available under
Section 190 of the Internal Revenue Code. Private business operators can deduct
up to a25,000 for expenses incurred in making their publicly used facilities
(stores, restaurants and offices) accessible to disabled persons.
Section 190 has many benefits, including:
... It is the only existing Federal inducement to private business operators
to make their facilities accessible to disabled and elderly citizens.
... 0.s a permanent part of the Tax Code, businesses could make long term
renovation plans which include accessibility.
... It can be used to make employment facilities accessible at a time when
Federal pro9rams which have benefited persons with disabilities are
being curtailed.
... Business persons must actually make their facilities accessible before
they can have their expenditures partially off set by an incane tax
deduction.
... Federal, state and locai governments could benefit from increased incane
tax revenues generated by disabled persons entering or reentering the
work force and by the reduction af disabled persons from income main-
tenance roles.
Coordination of MuniciDal Services - The coordination of municipal services is
crucial to providing cost effective decent, accessible frousing for elderly and
disabled individuals. High priority related housing services include -
accessible transportatton medical and recreational facilities and shopping
areas. The U.S. Conference of Mayors Section 504 Program staff has addressed
both accessible transportation and recreational services in their Overcaning
Barriers Fact Sheet series). Two publications which have addressed housing and
its related aspects with lacal enphasis are:
- U.S. Conference of Mayors, Administering Aging Programs, "Serving
the Urban Elderly: Issues and Programs", Vol. VI, 1982.
Programs for elderly persons often overlap and/or are combined with non-
elderly disabled programs. Some of the examples cited in Section IV on
housing may be helpful in planning accessible housing. This booklet gives
federal, state and local initiatives as well as private sector and
volunteer oriented programs.

Industrial Revenue Bonds
Chapter 419 of the Iowa Code grants authority to incorporated cities to issue
Industrial Revenue Bonds (IRBs) for certain private enterprise projects (Section
419.1(2)). The lowa Urban Revitalization Pct of 1979 has amended Chapter 419 to
allow for the issuance of IRBs for comnercial and residential projects located
within locally designated urban renewal or urban revitalization areas. All IRBs
issued pursuant to Chapter 419 are limited abligations of the municipality, with
the principal of and interest on such bonds payable solely out of the revenues
derived from the project (Section 479.3).
One of the several public purposes to be served through issuance of IRBs is the
extent to which the proposed project vrill upgrade deteriorated or deteriorating
structures, improve site accessibility and usefulness and otherwise provide for
the public health, safety and welfare as detailed in the Urban Revitalization
Act (1979).

The Anerican lnstitute of Architects (AIA) is a professional organiza-
tion of architects with a particular interest in architectural barriers
which limit a physica7ly handicapped individual's aecess to buildings.
The AfA promotes designs and/or regulations for the removal of physical
and structural barriers, both interior and exterior.

Re: Council Oirection
The attached Five Year Projection Report points out several funding
trends/needs which will require major policy decisions by the City Council.
The information in this report will provide guidance to the Council in
resolving the following issues for the proposed FY86 budget and future
budgets:
1. Property tax.
a. What is the proper balance 6etNeen increased property tax and the
maintenance of quality City services?
b. Ouring the preparation of the FY84 budget, the Council decided to
start phasing in the Transit Levy over a three year period. In order
to minimize the total property tax increase, the Transit Levy was not
increased in FY85. It is proposed that the phasing in of the Transit
Levy 6e resumed in FY86 by increasing the tronsit levy from 18t per
f1,000 of assessed valuation in FY85 to 36! per 51,000 of assessed
valuation in FY86.
2. Are there acteptable service fee increases which could be included in the
FY86 Budget to offset related costsT
3. Oecreasing state and federal translt operating assistance has placed more
dependence upon fare revenue and the local subsidy for funding af the
annual operating cost of the Transit System. In fact, additional
operating assistance reduetions are expeeted. Mithout regular fare
increases, the local subsidy wi11 increase faster than the expenditure
rate for operatlons. Unless another funding source can be found for an
increase in loeal subsidy amount, other City services may need to be
reduced ar property taxes may need to be further increased ta cover the
future funding needs of Transit.

I. EXECUTIVE SUhAWRY
.�
The Five Year Financial Projection report is an important element in the
City's continuous process of decisian making through the use of several
planning and evaluation instruments. Among these are the Canprehensive
Plan, the Five Year Financial Projections Report, the Five Year Capital
Impravement Program (CIP), the Annual Operating Budget and the Annual
Financial Report. The five year financial projectians report provides
pallcy makers with information on future financial trends given the
existing receipt and expenditure trends. In addition, the projections
provide a mechanism far evaluating the sensitivity of the City's finan-
cial condition to econanic influences which are beyond the direct control
of the City.
Because the General Fund supports almost all of the City's "general"
governmental services and is the fund which uses the majority of property
tax revenue far funding, the financial projections are focused on that
fund. Other funds uhich affect General Fund financing or are dependent
on General Fund financing are also included.
SCOPE OF THE FIYE YERR PROJECTIONS REPORT
These five year projections include only those funds that derive a
portion of their funding from property taxes and Federal Revenue Sharing
monies. Funds included are General, Oebt Service, Trust and Agency,
� �a�
Refuse Collectian, Airport, Transit and Federal Revenue Sharing. Funds
excluded are self-supporting Enterprise Funds: Parking, Pollution
Control, Nater and Landfill.
There are four basic assumptions applicable to these projections:
I. Property taxes are held to a 6X annual increase for the average
residential property owner. This continues the 6X increase which
occurred in the current year (FY85),
2. Revenues were projected based upon historical trends in volume and
growth, and also each Department's expectations af future activity.
3. All fees and rates charged by the City were kept at the current level
except for bus fares which are shawn increasing to SOE effective
1-1-86, as has been proposed in prior projections.
4, Expenditures are based on current (FY85) service levels. In arder to
maintain the current service levels, an average annual inflation rate
af between four and five percent has been used. Selected expenses,
suth as telephone, natural gas, electricity and some employees'
fringe beneflts have been projected at inflation rates ranging from
10X to 20x, based upan research of both past expenditure and future
proposed rate increases.

The exhibits that follow the narrativz provide ten years of informatian.
FY81 through FY84 show actual data that has been audited. The figures
used for FY85 are revised revenues and expenditure budgets based upon our
mast recent projections. The FY85 estimates provide the base that
inflation rates were applied to in order to compute projections for FY86
thraugh FY90.
MAJOR FINDINGS
The net result of the financial projectians is a canparison of the
projected receipts and disbursements in the General Fund (see Exhibit R).
The simplest way to summarize this canparison is by comparing.the amount
that receipts are over or under disbursements. An actual deficit in
receipts will never be budgeted; the budget will always be balanced
through adjustment of expenditures or revenues, or by the use of excess
unreserved monies in the fund balance.
The projections show a shortfall in receipts in both FY86 and FY87. The
FY86 shortfall can be covered by the available excess unreserved balance
that existed at the end of FY84. This excess balance resulted because
actual expenditures were less than 6udgeted and actuat receipts were more
than budgeted. The FY87 profected shortfall will need to be reviewed
mare thoroughly for possible solutions.
In analyzing the five year projections the follawing trends become
obvlous:
a�� �
e
a
1. There is a greater reliance upon property tax funding because other
revenues are not increasing at as fast a rate as expenditures.
2. Oetreased state and federal transit operating assistance has placed
more dependence upon fare revenue and the local subsidy for the
funding of annual transit aperating costs. These projections do not
include any increased costs for transit (i.e. recommendatians made by
the maintenance .study ar the expansion of bus routesJ. Even Nithout
the increased costs, the General Fund subsidy of transit operations
increases substantially in future years.
3. By maintaining the annual property tax increase at 6X for the averaqe
residential property owner, it was not possible to canplete the
phase-in of the transit levy until FY90. To do so before then would
necessitate an increase in the total property tax levy of more than
the assumed annual increase of 6X.

II. GENERAL FUNO
F'i
.-�
Property taxes must annually increase at a faster rate than expenditures
as long as other revenues are nat also increasing annually at the same
rate as expenditures. Property taxes make up approximately 60% of all
revenues in the General Fund (see Exhibit I). In FY86, total property
tax dollars in the General Fund (excludinq the Transit levy) are increas-
ing by approximately 9X while all other revenues are increasing by
approximately 4X and expenditures are increasing by approximately 5X.
Total property tax dollars increase at a higher rate than the property
tax increase for the average residential property owner due to grouth
fran new praperties and the differing tax retes for the praperty taxes.
This is why total tax dollars increase 9S as compared to a 6X increase
far the average residential property owner.
Increases in other revenues are lagging hecause fees and charges are not
regularly increased to keep up with inflationary costs and betause some
revenues (i.e. municipal assistance, road use tax, state and federal
transit aperating grants) which are not directly cantrolled by the City,
are showing minimal increases and even decreasing in some cases. The
projettions as prepared have assumed an annual increase of 6X in property
taxes for the residential property owner and an annual average inflation-
ary increase in expenditures of between 4-55. It is obvious that unless
other revenue sources can be found, property taxes will continue in the
future to bear a heavier burden for financing general governmental
operations than other revenue sources.
a�z�
-�
6
Cansideration should be given to the increase of the fees and charges
Which bring revenue into the general fund. By not increasing fees on a
regular basis, the cost to provide each service continues to increase
annually and those increased costs are bejng paid by the taxpayers
instead of by the users.
Attached as Exhibit H is a chart which shows potential increases in fees
for the General Fund. It provides information on the last time the
current fee aas reised and the potential increase in revenue generated by
increased fees. Not all of these increases have been discussed with
departments and fees charged for the activities in the Recreation
Division have not been included. This is a preliminary listing of
revenues which could be examined further for potential rete increases.
The revenues listed are fees intended to cover some of the costs directly
related ta the service, licenses for community protection, or fines to
deter abuse of City services. Any further review of patential fee
increases should also include fees now charged by the Recreation Oivi-
sion.
Rs these rate increases are proposed for FY86 at the earliest, all the
current rates listed wi11 have already been in effect for six or more
years. Although many revenue increases listed are small-dollars lndi-
vidually, the total of many small changes can add up to a substantial
dollar amount.

�
Other fee increases which would affect the General Fund are the refuse
collectian fee and transit fares since any increase in those would reduce
the amount of the operating subsidy needed from the General Fund.
0
[II. TRANSIT
�
The subsidy for the Transit aperation increases su6stantially in FY86.
In FY86 Transit expenditures are projected to increase 5.3X over FY85
expenditures. These projections include the cost of the new tripper
service in the Sunset Street area and an annual transfer of 550,000 to
the Transit Replacement Reserve. Revenues include a fare increase to
50t effective January 1, 1986. In order to provide sufficient funding
far Transit operations in FY86, it will be necessary to increase the
operating subsidy fran property taxes and Federal Revenue Sharing by 23S
(fran f762,416 in FY85 to f935,853 in FY86).
The chart at the bottom of Exhibit C gives the funding breakdown of
revenues in the Transit System. In FY85, fare revenue and the local
subsidy provide roughly equivalent funding for Transit. In FY86, the
rate increase is scheduled to occur mid-year and the local subsidy
provides a higher percentage of funding. However, in fY87, fare revenue
provides a higher percentage of funding than the local subsidy due to
the fact that the higher fare is in effect all year. Therefore, for the
two year period, funding from fares and local subsidy is roughly
equivalent.
Any increased expenditure level for Transit (i.e. additional personnel,
expanded or new routes, increased operating costs for the new building,
additional buses, etc.) or further reductians in state or federal
aperating assistance wi11 requlre additional funding which would need to
come from increased property tax subsidy or increased fare revenue.
r
,_
; '.
� _'
t �
^ 9 �i
Issues which wilt need to be evaluated in determining the future financ-
ing for Transit include: 1) the relationship between ridership and
fares, 2) parking retes which may discourage the use of transit (i.e. is
it cheaper to park downtown than to ride the busJ, 3) can the City
finance any expanded or additional transit routes, 4) hoN wi11 future
bus acquisitions and/or remanufacturings be financed, 5) can operating
costs be decreased by modifying schedules, routes, or operations in such
a manner that ridership will not decrease.
The Transit Levy was established at 18t in FY84 and was to be phased-in
at an additional 18! per year over the two following years until it
reached the maximum levy of 54t. This phase-in Was meant to gradually
replace the use of Federal Revenue Sharing monies for funding Transit
Operatians so that the City would not find itself in the situation of
Federal Revenue Sharing being discontinued and having to replace it all
at once with General Tax monies.
The levy was not increased in FY85 in order ta keep the overall property
tax increase at 6X for the residential property owner. The five year
projections show an increase in the levy to 36E in FY86 and an increase
to 54! in FY90. These increases were scheduled in such a manner as to
keep the annual property tax increases to 6% for the residential
property owner. Oeferral of the last step of the phase-in may not be
possible if Federal Revenue Sharing is discontinued by the federal
government before FY90.
a�.��
�
10
As stated above, the projections show an annual transfer af 550,000 from
Transit operetions to the 7ransit Replacement Reserve (see Exhibit D).
The reserve balance was used to fund the local share for the new iransit
Facility. Because of decreases in Federal and State operating assistance
grants, fewer manies have been available, over the past couple of years,
in iransit aperations for transfer to the Reserve. The large transfer
in FY85 includes the loan fran the State of f111,407. That loan must be
repaid in FY89 and wi17 be kept in the Reserve until that time, Hoaever,
Exhibit D, in FY85, shows that it wi11 be necessary to use part of the
loan (f65,000J to pay for the new buses just received, In fact, it aill
take until FY87 to get the reserve balance back to the ievel where the
City could repay the State loan. Any bus purchases or remanufacturing
anticipated in the near future will have to be funded fram other
presently unidentified revenue sources.

IV. FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING
�--
Federal Revenue Sharing (Exhibit F) is projected at the same amount as
is being received in FY85 (f563,718). Revenue Sharing will be funded
through FY86 and one-half of•FY87. Federal Congressional approval will
be necessary to provide Revenue Sharing funds in future years. The
discontinuance of revenue sharing has been proposed. In these projec-
tions, Revenue Sharing monies are projected to fund the Human Service
Agencies through FY90 and to fund Transit operations through FY89. It
is desirable to use the annual unallocated portian, shown as the ending
balance oa Exhibit F, to finance capital improvements projects. Revenue
Sharing monies should not be used to fund the operating costs of the
General Fund or to provide additional funding for Transit operations.
Such use Would only increase the City's reliance upan the federal monies
and make the potential d7scontinuance of Revenue Sharing a mare diffi-
cult prob7em.
a��Y

V. REFUSE COLLECTION
Exhibit 8 shows the Financial Projections for the Refuse Collection fund.
The projections Were prepared under the assumption that the monthly
refuse fee remains unchanged at the current fee of 53.50. At the bottom
of the exhibit is a canparison of the monthly fee versus the monthly cost
per resident. In FY85 the monthly fee of f3.50 provides funding for 86X
of the actual monthly costs. Without increasing the monthly fee, by
FY90, the rtanthly fee covers anly 68X of the actual cost. This fee was
last increased in FY84. The manthly cost per resident decreased in FY85
due to the increase in pick-up staps resulting from growth in the
community. A minimal annual groWth rate for FY86-90 has been factored
into the financial projections for future years.
A formal policy has never been established on how much of the operating
cost should be financed by the monthly fee and how mueh should be paid
fran property taxes. Some property tax funding may be justified because
the service benefits the City as a whole. A caunter argument against
using property tax funding for the service is that many property awners
are not provided refuse collection service (those who own cammercial
properties, industrial properties or residential properties Nhich have
five or more units). To keep the fee funding approximately 85X of the
actual cost, it will be necessary to increase the fee annually at the
same rate that expenditures are increasing; in FY86 this would amount to
a SS increase in the fee to 53.68. Such an increase would lower the
general fund subsidy by approximately 523,000.
a���
VI. AIRPORT
�
13
The financial projections for the airport appear on the bottom of
Exhibit U. Over 50X of annual airport operating costs are funded by the
subsidy from the General Fund. Since few alternatives exist for
increasing the airport's own revenues, the annual subsidy fran the
General Fund continues to increase at a rate faster than expenditures
�
�
ia
VII. PROPERTY TAX PROJECTIONS
�
Exhibit G illustrates the tax levies. It includes FY81-85 actual
certified tax levies, and projections for FY86-90.
Property taxes are based on the 100I assessed valuatian figures as
certified by the City Assessor. Rollback factors are applied to these
assessed valuations to arrive at the taxable valuation amount. Rollbacks
are intended to level aff state-wide praperty tax valuation at a 4X
annual increase and are computed by the State Oepartment of Revenue. For
FY86, the rollback on residential property is approximately .72. There-
fore, taxes will be paid on 72% of the total assessed valuation of a
residence.
The assessed valuation of a property is.dependent upon its market value.
Praperties are reassessed every two years to keep them in line with
current market values. Taxes for FY86 aill be levied on praperty values
assessed on January 1, 1984, Which was not a reassessment year. Property
�' values will be reassessed an January 1, 1985; these will be the basis
for taxes levied in FY87.
The State Legislature initiated use of the rollback factor in 1974. This
rollback limits taxable valuation for the State, as a whole, to a 4S
annual increase. The rollback factor is canputed based upon total
assessed valuation for the entire State and unless the local governments

assessed valuation increases or decreases the same as the State's total,
there is no guarantee that local tax valuations Wi11 be held to the
established 4X annual increase.
No projections are available for state-wide valuation totals and/or
rollback factors for future years. Therefore, the five year projections
for praperty taxes are based upon Iowa City's historical trend for the
annual increase in total taxable valuations. For the past six years,
the applicable annual increases averaged around BX. This is regarded as
a conservative estimate since Iowa City's econany is one of the healthi-
est in the State and the potential does exist for Iowa City's property
values to increase more than the BS average. Depressed property values
an a State-wide basis in future years could keep the rollback factor
high and therefore result in higher than average increases in taxable
valuations for Iowa City in the reassessment years.
The property tax projeetions for the next five years were canputed using
a 6X annual increase far the residential property owner. This continues
the 6X increase in property taxes as budgeted in the current year
(FY85).
The total tax levy is made up of five separate levies: General, Tort
Liability, Oebt Service, Trust and Agency, and Transit.
1. The 6enerol Tax Lery funds General Fund expenditures and transfers
fran the General Fund which provide funding to JCCOG and subsidize
the operating cost of Refuse Collection, Airport and Transit.

2. The Tort Liability Lery is provided to pay the cost of certain
insurance coverage and anticipated judgements. A recent 30X jump in
insurance premiums far liability insurance requires increases in the
Tort Liability Levy. The steep incline in insurance costs is due
primarily to the current trend by the insurance industry to increase
premiums for business liability coverage. Industry wide, increases
in premiums for such coverage are reported to be averaging between
15 and 4005.
3. The Uebt Service Levy provides funds for the payment of the princi-
pal and interest an general obligatian bonds of the City. This levy
also experiences a substantial increase in taz dollars in FY86. The
� City's last bond issue was sold in Oecember, 1982. Bonds will be
sold in 1985 to provide funding far capital improvements projects
now in progress and projects scheduled far the summer of 1985. The
upcaning bond issue is projected to tatal 55 million and will
provide funding for the fallowing projects: Bridge Renovation
Projects (f1,503,000), Clintan Street Reconstruction (5171,000),
Rundell/Uearborn Storm Sewer (f335,000), First Avenue Culvert
(f180,000), Airport Runway Extension (f900,000), East Side Nater
Storage Tank (51,053,000, abated by Water Revenues), various Speciai
Assessment projects (5485,000, 50X abated by special assessment
revenue), Airport T-Hangars (f220,000, abated by hangar rental
incaneJ, varlaus sma11 projects (f253,000J.

4. The Trust and Agency Lery is used to fund the payment of penslon and
employee benefits. The state regulations allow Cities to budget for
FICA, IPERS, health insurance and life insurance under the Trust and
Agency Levy only when the 58.10 maximum levy has been reached in the
General Levy. Because Iowa City's General Levy is below the
maximum, the aforementioned benefits and employee benefit costs W111
be covered by the General Levy and the costs covered by the Trust
and Agency Levy in the next five years will include only the police
and fire pension contributions, workers canpensation insurance
premiums and unenplayment canpensatian elaims.
5. The T�ansit Lery is restricted to funding transit operating costs.
The amount of this levy was discussed in detail above under the
Transit section.
The Trust and Agency Levy and the Uebt Service Levy are receipted into
those respective funds (see Exhibit E). The General Levy, Tort Liabil-
ity Levy and Transit Levy are receipted into the General Fund. The
Transit Levy amount is then transferred to the Transit Operating Fund.

VIfI. OTHER MAJOR REVENUE SOURCES
,-,
The following major revenue sources provide approximately 30S of the
funding for the General Fund. The City has little control over itens
il, i3 and !7 as these are State-shared revenues and the funding level
is controlled by the State. Items 15 and /6 are canputed annually
based upon actual expenditures. Item i8 could be increased only as a
result of voter approval. Items i2 and l4 could be increased by the
Council.
1. Municipal Assistance (5330,869) is included in the five year
projections at the same amount as was received in FY84. There is
some question as to uhether the State will even continue to fund
Municipal Assistance ta local gavernments; as the Legislature
struggles with its own tight budget situation.
2. Ree�eation nwenues (5331,377) are projected according to the
, programs currently being offered. The five year projectians do not
include any future fee increases in Recreation.
3. Roed Use Tax (f1,696,419) is estimated to increase SX per year as
it has for the past five years. All Road Use Tax monies are trans-
ferred into the General Fund each year. These monies are re-
strieted far use only for street maintenance and traffic engineer-
ing. Since FY79, it has funded at least 75X of the operating cost
of these two functions.
—� !
as��s� -
4. Parking Tickets (5266,000) includes revenue from both 52 and 55
parking tickets. The S2 tickets are first receipted into the
Parking Operations Fund and then transferred back to the General
Fund when it is determined that parking has a surplus balance. This
process is followed because the parking bond resalutian requires
total revenues Nhich are high enough to meet the required bond
coverage.
5. The University Fire Protectian Contract (f374,572) provides funding
in direct proportion to the actual expenses incurred in opereting
the Fire �epartment.
6. The IW�inist�atire Expense CAargeback (f558,441) covers the charge-
backs paid by the Enterprise Funds to the General Fund for indirect
administrative tosts. This chargeback is canputed annually based
upon' the current expenses incurred in the General Fund in the
administration of the activities af the Enterpr9se Funds.
7. Liquo� Profits (5267,896) received are from lOX of the gross
revenue of the State liquor stores which is returned to local
gavernments on a per capita basis.
B. Hotel/Motel Tax revenue (5118,429) has been restricted by the City
for use as follows: 50X for po7lce patro1 costs, 25X for the
conventian hureau and 25X for recreation projects funding.
a��y
�
tz. sur�naev
Zo
�
It becomes readily evident that any substantial increase in revenue from
the other majar revenue sources identified is unlikely to occur. Since
these major revenues are 30X of total General Fund funding and property
taxes are 60X of total funding, the remaining revenues (lOS af tatal
funding) also cannot be increased enough to provide any substantial
intrease in funding. Therefore, unless new funding sources are found,
the General Fund will need to continue to rely mare heavily on property
taxes in the future.
Although [owa City has the legal ability to raise property tax levies,
the taxpayer's capacity for accepting property tax increases must be
considered. The five year projectians were based upon annual increases
of 6X in property tazes. This rate of increase may be unacceptable when
City expenditures are increasing only between 4X and Sx. However, if
additional revenue sources are not found and if property taxes are not
increased by at least 6X annually, the City may find it necessary to
reduce the quality and/or number of services it provides.

Honorable Mayor, Members of the
City Council and City Manager
City of Iowa City, Iowa
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, far
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1984, is submitted herewith in accordance with --
the provisions of Chapter 384 of the Code of lowa, 1981, as amended. This
report was prepared by the City's Finance Uepartment. Responsibility for both
the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the _
presentation, including all disclosures, rest with the City. lJe believe the
data, as presented, is accurate in all material aspects; and it is presented in ...
a manner designed to fairly set forth the financial positian and results of
operations of the City, as measured by the financial activities of its various —
funds and that all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain the
maximum understanding of the City's financial activity have been included. --
Accountina Svstem and Budaetarv Control �
The City adopts its annual program budget on a cash basis. Nhile spending
control is exercised at the program level, management control is exercised on a
major objective of expenditure basis at budget decision unit levels within
funds. Encumbranee accounting is employed in all funds for budgetary control.
Encumbrences outstanding at year-end for the governmental fund types are
reflected as reservations of the fund balances. Appropriated encum6rances do
not lapse at the end of the year and are not reapportioned in the following
year. Projects spanning more than one year are appropriated on a yearly basis.
The City of Iowa City, Iowa, maintains its day-to-day actaunting recards on a
cash basis. However, this report is prepared on a modified accrual basis far
the general governmental operations and an the full accrual basis for the
City's enterprise and internal service activities. This report follows the
general format suggested by the National Council on Governmental Accounting
Statements 1 through 7 and the Government Finance Officers Association of the
llnited States and Canada.
In developing and evaluating the City's accounting system, consideration is —
given to the adequacy of internal accounting controls. Internal accounting
controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance
regarding: (1) the safeguarding of assets against loss fran unauthorized use _
or disposition; and (2) the reliability of financial records for preparinq
financial statements and maintaining accountability far assets. The concept of
reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not
exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the evaluation of costs and --
benefits requires estimates anA judgnents by management.
a�ay -
�
h+ All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. We believe
�° that the City's internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and
provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.

� meet employee pensions of the IPERS system. In the past year, the state
— increased the benefits of the plan by raising the maximum salary against Hhich
participation is assessed from E20,000 to 521,000.
_ The City acts in a custodial capacity for the police and fire pension and
retirement systems for the City's puhlic safety employees. Accarding to the

_. Special Revenue Funds, and Oebt Service Fund) totaled 516,521,346 in fiscal
year 1984, a decrease of 1S from 1983. Property taxes accounted for 50X of the
- total. The 21.3X lncrease in tharges for services is attributable to several
�actors including increased administrative costs charged to the enterprise
- funds, additional public safety fees, and increased recreation program fees. A
21.35 decrease in miscellaneous revenues is primarily attributable to decreased
— property sales in fiscal year 1984. The amount of revenue from various sources

Special Revenue Funds, and Debt Service Fund) totaled $16,821,A44 in fiscal
year 1984, an increase of 5.2% over 1983. A 22% increase in the general
function is attributable to the combination of increased aid to agencies,
hotel/motel tax distribution, and unexpected claims. Because the Community

Significant Accauntina Policies
Basis of Accounting:
c
The modified accrual basis of accounting is used for the general, special --
revenue, debt service, capital projects, special assessments, expendable
trust, and agency funds. Under this method of accounting, revenue is —
recagnized in the period in which it becomes available and measurable.
Revenue accrued includes property taxes, intergovernmental and interest
earned on investments. Expenditures are recorded as liabilities as
inturred, if ineasurable, except for unmatured interest on general long-term
debt.
The accrual basis of accounting is used for all of the enterprise, internal —
service pensian and retirement trust, and nonexpendable trust funds.
Under t�is method of accounting, revenue is recognized in the accounting
period in which it is earned and becomes measurable and expenses are
recognized in the period incurred, if ineasurable. —
Other significant accounting policies are:
Cash Management and Investments:
The City maintains one primary demand deposit account through which the
majority of the City's cash resources are processed.

All investments are stated at cost or amortized cast which approximates
market value except for those investments in the �pension trust funds.
Substantially all City investment activity is carried on by the City in an
investment pool, except for those funds required to maintain their invest-
ments separately. The earnings on the pooled investments are allocated to
the funds on a systematic basis.
Receivables and Revenue Recognition:
i Property taxes receivable are recognized at the time they are levied by the
�• local taxing authority, the County of Johnson, State of Iowa. Property
taxes are levied by the County in March of each year to be collected in the
following year. That portion of the property taxes which are included in
',�j the governmental fund types and which are not availa6le for the current
year's operations are shown as deferred revenue.
�
Federal revenue sharing is recognized during the entitlement period to
which it applies.
Substantially all other shared revenue is recagnized when received by the
collecting authority.
Federal and state grants, primarily capital grants, are recorded as
receivables and the revenue is recognized during the period in which the
City fulfills the requirements for receiving the grant awards.
Incane from investments and accounts and unbilled usage receivables is
recognized when earned, Licenses and permits, fines and forfeitures, fees
and refunds, charges for services (ather than enterprise), miscellaneous
and other revenues are recorded as revenue when received in cash because
they are generally not measurable untit actualiy received.
Inventories:
Inventories are recognized only in those funds in which they are material
to the extent of affecting operations. Inventories are carried at lower of
cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment in the General Fixed Assets Account Group are
I carried at original cost or at fair market value when received as donated
'— properties. The City fol5ows the policy of not capitalizing infrastructure
fixed assets such as streets, bridges, lighting systems, sidewalks, storin
sewers, and individual assets with a cost of less than 5500. Depreciation
_ is not recorded an the General Fixed Assets Account Group.
Property and equipment associated with the proprietary fund types are
carried at origi�al cost, or at fair market value when received as donated
properties. Generally, assets with an individual cost of less than 5500 are
not capitalized. Depreciation is canputed using the straight-line method

Iowa Public Employees Retirement System
The retirement systen administered by the State of Iowa, IPERS, is funded by
amounts withheld from the participating employees and an amount contributed
by the City. 7hese contributions are determined by the statutes of the State
of Iowa and as of June 30, 1984, the percentages to be contributed on the
first 521,000 of canpensation were 3.7% for the enployees and 5.75% for the
City.
mentPsystemst are,myembersfbyhstatute oftthe�Iowa Public EmployeescRetirement
System (IPERS). IPERS is a multiple-employer plan administered 6y the State
of Iowa. There are currently 3014 reporting entities participating in the
plan and approximately 133,000 employees.
Members, upon termination of service after 4 years or reaching age 55, may —
exercise a vesting interest in a future retirement, Upon reaching age 65, or
early retirement at age 55, the member will receive a retirement allowance
based on a monthly farmula set by the statutes. Any member who terminates
employment before retirement is entitled to a refund af their contributions
plus interest.
Upon the death of an active or vested member both the member's contributions —
and the employer's contributions, plus interest, are payable to the benefi-
ciarY• _
As mentioned earlier, IPERS is a contributory system wherein all credited
6enefits are funded with sufficient contributions. Unlike Social Seturity, no
liability is assessed against future IPERS coniributors far peyment of
present IPERS benefits. An actuarial valuatian is performed annually. 7he
most reeently published report, dated June 30, 1983, shows a total asset �
amaunt of f1,991,658,140 and a net unfunded liability, which represent the �
present value of future costs attributable to prior service as of June 30,
1963, as E108,066,298, a decrease of approximately 521,679,612 fran Iast
year. To 11quidate the accrued liabllity with annual payments commencing
June 30, 1984 and ending June 30, 1998, the needed annual payment is
59,954,523. Al1 the City's contributions for the year ended June 30, 1983, `
which represent approximately .3X of the total employers' contri6utions, have
been paid within 30 days after year end. —
The 20 year funding payment on the 11abi11ties attributable to the 1978
increases in retirees' benefits is 54,692,q42,
The June 30, 1963, valuation, using the assumptions stated in the actuariei
report, shows that the total 1983-1984 fiscal year cost of benefits under the
System, inc7uding the State contribution, is f150,299,031 or 8,71% of covered —
payroll; and such fiscai year cost of benefits under the System, but ex-
cluding the State contribution, is f149,799,031 or 8.685 of covered payroll.
This percentage is .29% lower than last year. These total costs as a percent
of pay are actually less than proJected in cost studies made last year
because the actual experience (as to death, turnover, salary intreases and
fund earnings) of the System was, in the aggregate, favorable in relation to
expected experience. In particular, fund earnings provided approximately —
SG4,000,000 in excess of earnings expected under the interest rate assumptian
of 6.5:.

The 8.66", of covered payroll contribution requirement is .77% less than the
basic 9.45; of combined payroll contributions now being made by the employees
and their employers.
In 1975 the General Assembly expressed the intent that contributions rates be
reviewed annually by the General Assembly and that, if the adjusted growth
rate of state general fund revenues exceeds 5.50� for the preceding June 30,
contribution rates will be increased .1% of covered pay for the members and
.57. for their employers. Such increases would continue until the rate is 4%
of covered pay for members and 7.2% for their employers.
The General Assembly also expressed the intent that the formula benefit be
reviewed annually by them. They were to cansult with the IoNa Public
Employees Retirement System Division, and aith the consulting actuaries, in
cansidering an increase in the benefit formula. The intent that the present
benefit formula be increased ultimately to 50% of the fi�al five year average

There are numerous other lawsuits pending against the city for various reasans.
The outcome and eventual liability of the City, if any, in these cases is not

Effective danuary 1978, the City discontinued its genera7 liability insurance
coverege and established a self-insurance program for tort liability claims of
7ess than 51,000,000, in 19eu of obtaining insurance coverage. From January,
1980 through April, 1980, the City had no liability insurance coverage and was
totally seif-insured. In April 1980, the City again obtained general liability
insurance coverage wMch cove�s tort liabiNty claims relatinp to incidents
atcurring after April 24, 1980. The current eove�age provides fo� claims up to
f10,000,000. The source of funding for this program is a separate tax levy
within the General Fund.
The City maintains hospitalization, some life insurance coverage for all of its
permanent employees, and long-term disability insurance on its non-civil service
full-time employees. The cost of the insurance is paid for in full by the City.
A11 permanent City employees accumulate sick leave hours for subsequent use.
These accumulations do not vest and therefore are not recognized as expenditures
by the City until used o� paid. The City's approximate meximum contingent
liability for sick leave benefits as of June 30, 1984, is as follows:

required by cemetery deeds sold thraugh May 1973. The investment
proceeds from this fund are transferred to the general fund each year to
be applied against cemetery aperating expenditures. The fund balance for
this non-expendable trust is classified as "reserved for perpetual
care."

City of Iova City, Iowa
INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROLS
.,.
We have eaamined the financial etatemente of the City of IoNa City,
Iowa, for the year ended June 30, 1984 and have iseued our report thereon dated
October 15, 1984. As a part of our examination, we made a etudy and evaluation
of the Citq'e eyetm of internal accounting controle to tbe e:teat We coutidered
neceseary to evaluate the eyetev ae required by generally accepted auditing
etaadarde and the standarde for financial and compliance audite cantained Ln the
II.S. Geaeral Accounting Office "Stsadarde for Audit of Goveromental
OrganSzatione, Programa, Activitiee and Functione". For ehe purpoae of tMe
report, we have claesified the significant intemal accounting controle in the
following categoriee:
Pinancing
Caeh receipta
Cseh diebureeseote:
- Purchasee
Payroll
Financial reportiug
Our etudy included all of ehe conerol categoriee listed above. The purpoee of
our etudy and evaluation vae to determine the nature, timing and extent of the
_, auditing praceduree neceeeary to e=ptese aa opinion on the City'e financial etate-
mente. Our etudy and evaluation wae more limited than vould be neceeeary to
expresa an opinion on the eyetem of internal accounting co¢trol taken ae a whole
or on any of ehe categoriee of controle identified ahove.
—
The manegement of the City of Iwa City, Iaws ie responeible for
eetabliehing and maintaining a eyetem of ineernal accounting controls. In
fulfilling thie reaponeibility, estimates and judgmente by manegement are
required to aeeeee the expeceed benefite and related coete of control proce-
duree. The objectives of a syetem are to provide menegement with reaeonable,
but not abeolute, aeeurance that aeseCe are safeguarded againet loes from
unauthorized uee or diepoeition, and ehat traneactione are executed in accor-
dance wlth manegement'e authorization and tecorded properly to permit ehe pre-
paration of finenciel etatemente in accordence wieh generally accepted
accouating principlee.

Because of inherent limitatione in any system of Snternal accounting
controls, errore or irregularities may neverthelese occur and not be detected.
Also, projection of any evaluation of the system to future periods Sa subject to
the risk that proceduree may become inadequate because of changes in conditions
or that the degree of compliance with the procedures may deteriorate.
Our atudy and evaluation made for the limited purpoae described in the
first paragraph would not necesearily dieclose all material weaknesaes ia the
syatem. Accordingly, we do aot exprese an opinion on the eyetem of internal
accounting controls of the City of Iowa City, Iowa taken ae a whole. However,
our etudy and evaluation disclosed the folloving conditione that we believe
reeult in more than a relatively low riek.that errors or irregularitiee in
amounte that would be material in relation to the financial statemente of the
City of Iowa Clty, Iova may occur and not be detected withia a timely period.
Segregation of Duties:
Condition:
'� The number of Sndividuals involved with the data proceseing function is not
large enough to permit an adequate aeparation of the data proceeeing func-
tione of eysteme deeign aad programming, data enery and computer operatione.
In addition, eeveral of ehe individuale who are performing variaue data pro-
Iceeeing functione also have other accounting and financial responelbilities.
While we recognize thet it may be impractical for the City to achieve ade-
� quate eegregation of duties wiehin data proceesing, and to separate data
proceeeing dutiee from ueere with other incompatible reeponeibilitiee, it ie
important that you be aware of this condition.
City Reeponee:
The City ie aWate of thie intemal control condition. Due to limi.ted finan-
cial resources it was never the City's intention to establieh a separate,
canveational data proceeeing department. The computer eyetem wae purchased
baeed upon the software's "ueer fziendly" approach to file accees and
programming. The City's goal wae to reach an acceptable balance hetween
aufficient intemal control and optimal use of available resources for the
data proceeaing funetlon. The involvement of users in the data processing
function hae allowed for an expanded, hSghly effective data processing .
syatem at a minimal coet; this benefit provides a more then eufficient
balance to the internal control condition of limited ataffing.
This condition wae coneidered in determining the nature, timing, and
extent of the audit testa to be applied Sn our examination of the financial etate-
menta for the year ended .Tune 30, 1984, aad thls ceport doee not affect our
report on theee finenclal etatemenes deted October 15. 1984.
COHPLIANCE MATTERS

Iowa Avenue Transformers Reel 84-C94, Side 1
�ouncil reviewed the Iowa-Illinois Gas & Electric Company request to install
two transformers on Iowa Avenue. Iowa-I1linois explained plans for the
installation and screening of the low profile transformers. Councilmembers
discussed lotation and streening options for the transformers. Tuber
suggested the transformers could be screened better if set back into the
landscaped area. Iowa-Illinois representative explained that the proposed

Iowa-Illinois said there are plans to replace the Dubuque Street transformer
with a low profile transformer.
AcQuisition of Airport Clear Zones Ree1 84-C94, Side 1
Rus Schmeiser, Airport Comnission Chairperson, explained that plans have been
developed for acquisition of land in the Iowa City Airport clear zones with
respect to the Iowa City cortmunity and safety for airport users and the
people living around the airport. The plans were developed irrespective of
any FAA participation. Land acquisition and airport clear zones are eligible
for 90� reimbursement from the FAA. The November 13 memo from the Airport
Comnission regarding clear zone-critical areas outlined a specific proposal
for orderly acquisition of land in the clear zones of the six approach areas
_Z
at the Iowa City Airport. Schmeiser said the number one priority is for the
irtmediate purchase of the undeveloped areas of the first 1000 feet of each
clear zone that is closest to the end of the runway. The City could then
purthase the remaining areas of the tlear zones when there are assurances of
FAA 90% participation. Schmeiser said the first 1000 feet is established as
a priority area because it meets the minimum distance established for visual
approach. Also, for 1000 feet, using approach slopes in the Zoning Ordi-
nance, you are approximately 35 feet above ground 1eve1 - minimizing the risk
of inverse condemnation. Schmeiser explained that acquisition of the first
priority land will cost an estimated ;259,500. Schmeiser said that an
updated appraisal on the land is needed to ascertain current market values.
In response to Zuber, Zehr said that the airport currently farms 170 acres of
its land and a portion of that could be used as trade for some of the needed
clear zone land. Schmeiser said that the Airport Comnission has developed
long-range planning for the development of airport land and could trade that
land without development potentiat for the airport. In response to Berlin,
Zehr explained that the City Council has already approved GO bonds for
;800,000 for the compliance project and #300,000 for corporate hangars.
Schmeiser noted that a corporate hangar lease agreement will help the cash
flow for the corporate hangar bond issue. Berlin stated that Vitosh wi11
review the impact on tax rates.
McDonald stated that the Council cannot give an imnediate answer to the
Airport Comnission until they review the averall City budget. However,
Council did request the property be appraised under proper FAA procedures.
In response to Ambrisco, Schmeiser explained that the Autohaus dealership
requested that their zoning request be deferred.
Board of Supervisors Meetina Aqenda Reel 84-C94, Side 1
McDonald said that he will meet with Clayton Ringgenberg to review additional
agenda items for the meeting, Strait suggested discussing county home land.
City Council Ob,iectives Reel 84-C94, Side 2
Councilmembers reviewed the �ecember 7 memo from Nelling outlining the
prioritization of City Council objectives. Erdahl stated that responsibility
should be assigned for these items. Helling said that action steps wi11 be
taken and responsibilities assigned when the objectives are finalized along
with the budget. In response to Strait, McDona7d said that a high percentage
of Council objectives are accomplished year to year.

Old Dubuque Road/Bristol Drive Intersection Reel 84-C94, Side 2,
84-C95, Side i
Franklin reviewed past history of the area. The previous Council passed a
resolution re: function af Foster Road and how it intersected with Prairie du
Chien. That Council also approved an alignment for Foster Road intersecting
Old Oubuque Road near Bristol Drive. Dean Oakes is requesting that Council
consider an alternative alignment which would not require an acquisition of a
large piece of land. Councilmembers rev9ewed four intersection designs
(Exhibits A-0). Franklin said people who live along Bristol Drive had
variaus concerns about traffic running through their single family neighbor-
hood. Franklin said Bristol Drive property owners had not been notified but
Mr. Kennedy is aware of Oakes' plans. Franklin said people should be
notified if Council reconsiders other alignments. In response to Strait,
Franklin said the consensus of the previous Council was that Foster Road was
not to be a beltway. Erdahl suggested the alternative alignments in the
Exhibit B superimposed. Russ Snyders, representative from Shive-Hattery
Associates, reviewed plans as proposed by Oean Oakes. Frankl9n explained the
Council would need to choose between the wide radius turn of the original
alignment that was adopted, the T-intersection at Bristol Urive or some
alternative between those two extremes. Franklin said staff could do an
evaluation of the City's costs of each oF the alternatives and how they
impact on the area. In response to Ambrisco, Berlin said that a current CIP
project will correct the problems at Dubuque Road and Highway i. Dean Oakes
stated he has never been in favor of the Foster Road alignment as proposed by
the City and Foster Road should be parallel with I-80. Council agreed to
reconsider the intersection alignment, derlin suggested that staff, Dean
Oakes and Dristol Drive neighbors meet to discuss the Oakes proposal.

Vitosh presented an overview of the assumptions that were used in preparing
the projections and a brief review of the findings. The following assump-
tions were used:
To hold property taz to a 6% average increase for the average residential
property owner based on future projections of need and property tax over
the next five years.
Revenues are based upon historic trends on volume and growth and discus-
sions with departments based on activities they expected from the
services that generated those revenues in the future. Yitosh said that
the charges that are currently being tharged for services Nere not
increased with the exception of bus fares. Bus fares are expected to be
increased to 50E effective January 1, 1986.
Expenditures are based an current service levels. A four to five percent
average inflation rate was applied for most of the expenditure catego-
ries. •
Three basic findings were developed from the projects:
Greater reliance is placed upon property tax funding because other
revenues are not increasing as fast as expenditures. Some revenues are
actually decreasing.
Uecreasing state and federal transit operating assistance has caused more
reliance on fare revenue and local subsidies for funding of the transit
system. '
Iowa City did not follow through with the original phasing-in of the
transit levy. In 1984 Iowa City started on the first of a three year
phasing by implementing an 18t levy for transit. The 1985 budget
revenues were sufficient and so did not institute the second step
increase to 36E; the levy was left at 18t. The second step increase to
361 will be dooe in FY86 and will atlow the increase of property taxes ta
stay at 6%.
Strait stated that a property tax intrease should be held to 6� or less and
fees should be increased. Strait requested additional information about what
fees could be raised and when. Zuber raised cancer�s about where money would
come from to pay for services and inquired about haw long the City could
continue to subsidize the transit operatian at current levels. Zuber favored
raising fees. Erdahl noted that the need for a comprehensive review of fees
was discussed• at the Council's goal setting session. Oickson agreed that
property tax should not be increased and the Council should review fees.
Ambrisco asked why projections for the FY85-FY90 shows a flat receipt for
projected revenues from licenses and permits. Vitosh explained the FY83-84
large increases were due to the construction boom, building inspections and
first time rental inspection fees. The Housing Inspection Uepartment doesn't
see a continued increase in growth which explains the flat reteipt projec-
tian. Ambrisco also said the City should reconsider the level of services
that are currently being offered. Erdahl explained that there is a policy to
not increase the level of services. Berlin noted that McGonagle has sug-
gested the entire transit system operation be reviewed.
Berlin suggested that in addition to looking at fees, staff review operating
departments for additional means of producing revenues.
FY84 Annual Audit Report
Reel 84-C95, Side 2
Vitosh explained that the annual financial report was completed in a t9mely
basis for the first time in several years because of the additional staff i�
the Accounting Division. The report was submitted to the Government Finance
Office Association for their review for a certificate of compliance. Dave
Johansen, of McGladrey,Hendritkson & Pullen, said that additional staff in
the atcounting department enabled the City to keep financial information
current and make the auditing process more efficient. I� response to Strait,
Johansen said the audit cost 526,000 this year compared to 534,000 a year
ago. Johansen reviewed the internal control comnent regarding the City
having a limited number of personnel in the data processing function which
does not allow for a praper separation of duties that is necessary to have
good internal control. Zuber inquired about self-insurance. Vitosh ex-
plained that several years ago the City was self-insured but has since
purthased liability insurance. Self-insurance is noted in the current
financial report as a contingent liability; Vitosh said that insurance
company involved in excess coverage could still be contacted if a claim
arises. In response to Baker, Vitosh explained that a triple "A" bond rating
is usually assigned to GO bonds which are supported by tax revenue. Revenue
bonds wh9ch are paid from revenues from the enterprise fund are usuatly
riskier. An "A" rating on revenue bonds is considered very good.
Councii Time/Agenda
1. Baker said there is confusion about Parks and Recreation's function as it
related to the arts groups within the community. Council agreed that
Parks and Recreation shauld contact other cities far more information,
meet w4th the various arts groups and report back to the Council. Strait
said information could be obtained from the Iowa Arts Council and funding
chances would increase if the various art groups were unified. Ber19n
noted that the City did assist with a coordinator for arts eight to ten
years ago.
2. Ambrisco said that he disagrees with the recomnendation in the December
11 memo from Traffic Engineer Brachtel regarding handicapped parking on
Capitol Street near Yaunker's. Ambrisco said the handicapped parking on
the northwest side of the Old Capitol Mall should st911 be considered.
Erdahl asked Ambrisco to brinq this up for discussion after Council-
members looked at the area. Berlin noted concerns about safety with
locating handicapped parking on Capitol Street.
3. Baker asked that increased local cantrol of tax abatement programs be
discussed when Councilmembers meet with area legislators.
