I want to congratulate you on being selected as President of The University of Iowa. I know that you will find Iowa City a terrific place in which to live and work. If there is anything I or city staff can do to help you with getting acclimated to our community, please don't hesitate to call. Ours is a vibrant, highly deliberative community with active citizens. By now, I am sure the students, staff, and faculty have been helpful in providing you information about the university and Iowa City. We may be able to provide additional logistical information for things like lists of civic organizations, our parks and recreation information, cultural groups, trail guides, bus routes and schedules, and answering general information about the Johnson County area. After you settle into your new role as Hawkeye #1, I would welcome an opportunity to visit with you to introduce myself and share perspectives on university and city relationships. Feel free to contact me directly at my full time place of employment, the Crisis Center at 351- 2726, through email ross-wilburn@iowa-citv.org, or through the Interim City Manager's Office (Dale Helling) 356-5010. I'm looking forward to meeting you. Ross Wilburn Mayor City of Iowa City Page 1 of2 Marian Karr (Original letter received in 8/2 special meeting) r::J From: Ross Wilburn Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 5:19 PM To: gary sanders Cc: Council Subject: RE: special meeting Gary, I am copying this email to council, since you sent it to 4 of us, it should go on the record in the clerk's office. This item first was included in an early June 2007 info packet. Also, it was discussed at the first formal council meeting in June with almost unanymous interest in the project. I don't remmeber if the press ran a story on it back then or not, but I called it out from the concent calendar at that meeting to make sure we gave the applicant (Mondonaro) an indication if council was going to view this project favorably or not and to answe any questions. So the project was discussed back in June. Also, there were copies of his proposal and a DVD available for anyone to examine in the city clerk's office. The first reading of the ordinance change passed at our July 10th meeting, I beleive 6-1. I was on vacation (RAGBRAI) when second reading occurred and the item was deferred because some councilors wanted to hear the results of the DTA forum that was going to be held on the issue. When I came back into town, I learned of the deferral and called the special meeting because we were not going to be meeting until later in the month. I tried to find a couple dates that all of council would be present, but there are many vacations and business trips occurring the rest of this month. I felt that we needed to let the applicant (Mondonaro) know one way or the other whether or not he would be allowed to proceed with the project and leasing the space. The only date that was going to work and give him time to complete the project so that it could be tried this year was today. It is not uncommon for the Mayor or council to call a special meeting due to special circumstances (timing with construction seasons, applications being due, trying to get public input in a timely fashion). In fact, several that come to mind for me are: 1. a special meeting held related to the landfill 2. several items with the new zoning code, 3. a special meeting to authorize the Mayor to sign a letter of support for Coralville's CAT grant application to build the Marriott, 4. some historic preservation applications to the state, 5. an aggreement related to bringing ALPLA manufacturing to town, 6. consideration of the requests for the Self Supported Municipal Improvement District to generate revenue for downtown improvements--which failed by the way, 7. setting a hearing for consideration of the Apple Tree Children's Center. 8. Setting two additional speed zones for Webber and Grantwood schools (I don't recall the dates off the top of my head, but I can get you the dates/agendas of those meetings if you wish) Again, the current council and past councils have held special meetings and or considered collapsing readings on an ordinance (we didn't collapse in this case, however the second meeting today was held in case someone couldn't make it over the noon hour). These are done on a case by case basis and sometimes collapsing readins occurs and sometimes it doesn't. I can't think of the last time an Iowa City Mayor wasn't willing to call a special meeting if there were logistical considerations, of which I believe time was a factor in this case given council schedules and the delay caused by the deferral last week. Thanks you for expressing your views on the process. I just wanted to make sure you had this additional information.

We thought you might be interested in some of the specific results of this effort to keep discarded household items out of the Iowa City Landfill and recycle them to households who could reuse them. Some of the other goals of the project included: . Improving neighborhood relations between single-family homeowners and renters . Advertising the sales events to low-income families who may not have been able to afford new items . Providing local environment groups and human service agencies with a potential fund raiser . Reducing the workload of City refuse workers and private waste haulers Ten local non-profit agencies with either an environmental or human services miSSion volunteered to participate in the event by providing staff to work for one day, either during one of the collection days or at one of the two sales. These agencies split the share of the profits from the event: . Environmental Advocates . Four Oaks Courtlinn Residential Treatment . Iowa City Community Mental Health Center's ComPeer Program . Iowa City Free Lunch Program . Iowa City Free Medical Clinic . Iowa City Shelter House . Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity . Nest of Johnson County . Successful Living . United Action for Youth Donations included: . several tons of upholstered furniture, including approximately o 50 couches o 30-40 love seats or chairs . several tons of non-upholstered and office furniture, including about o 5 dining room tables sets o 40-50 straight-back chairs o 3 full waterbed sets o 10 standard bed frames with box springs and mattresses August 15, 2007 Page 2 o 3-4 futons with mattresses o 1 0-15 office desks o 4 sets of outdoor furniture o 30-40 dressers, vanities, bureaus, or coffee tables . about a ton of clothes, shoes and linens . about 3,000 pounds of electronics and appliances o microwaves, blenders, toasters, coffee pots o computers and printers o televisions o VCRs, stereos, speaker sets . about 1,000 pounds of miscellaneous items o 1 0 boxes of books o 10 baby swings, strollers, and car seats o 5-6 grills o Children's toys o 5-6 pieces of exercise equipment o A washing machine o A composting toilet o A cider press o A kitchen sink There were two sales events held at the same time as the Iowa City Farmers Market on August 1 st and August 4th in the north end of the Chauncey Swan Parking Ramp. Sale items were priced from one dollar to ten dollars; small miscellaneous items, clothes, and shoes were priced at $1; small furniture, appliances, and medium miscellany were priced at $5; and large furniture and large miscellany were priced at $10. $4,090 was collected from sales and donations (approximately $250 from donations). After expenses such as recycling costs of the unsold electronic waste, advertising costs and table rental, the remaining "profit" of $3690 was split among the non-profit agencies. Eight agencies received a check for $410; two agencies that shared a work day split that amount. We are particularly pleased with the partnerships we established through Rummage in the Ramp. Public Works and Planning and Community Development staff worked closely with the Parking and Transit department to set up and use the Chauncey Swan Parking Ramp for collection and storage of donated items. The Furniture Project, sponsored by the Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center and managed by Successful Living, donated several truckloads of furniture to make more room at their facility. PW staff was also contacted by the James Gang, a local non-profit agency and community-building organization, regarding "leftovers." The James Gang, who is planning a similar event to benefit Elder Services of Iowa City at the end of August, took about a ton of furniture and other materials that remained after the close of the sales. In addition, the Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity ReStore took several hundred pounds of remaining materials, including several ceiling fans, lamps, and a kitchen sink. Crowded Closet, a local thrift and re-use store, graciously allowed Rummage in the Ramp to borrow four clothes racks for the sale and in return, received a donation of several hundred pounds of clothes, shoes and miscellaneous items that were left over from the sale. The following numbers are estimates based on some record-keeping and visual observations at Rummage in the Ramp: . 250 people made donations . 800 people shopped at the event . 60 people volunteered (about 300 total hours). . 20 tons of items (500 cubic yards) were diverted from the Iowa City Landfill . 16 tons of items were sold during the two sales events (7 hours total) . One ton of leftover items was donated to the James Gang August 15, 2007 Page 3 . 300 pounds of leftover items were donated to the Crowded Closet . 1,600 pounds of electronic waste was recycled . 200 pounds of plastic, cardboard, and paper was recycled . 1 nn nnllnrt", nf fnnrt ,^/~'" rtnn::>t",rl tn th<;> In,^,::> rihl ~h",lt",y, I--lf)) ''''''' lIlcom~ The even: 'sa: (Olllidered hugely GUc.:e.:;f.llly: tbe C !::.' c: IC'.n C;7'; )tid :he 'ell Fc:i:ipJtm~ nCll- profit agencie:L Be3ide": reducillg rht lYa:~:..; he-l:le-d f;)llhe :Q\Y;.1 Cl.:y Landii~L )41)9-0.\,1.'25 c.:-te-:r.ej frcD~~lle~, ~~~(;~:~:::~C'~~: ~~~~~~O~::~~~:\;~~i;l~C (~~~~'~~~:tj:t:-~;:c~~':' ;::~::t~CDT~l~"-;~~~~::~C'~;r~.~:l; :;1; ~~~~r\~l~;)~,}~~i~ "II'"Il'" l"~ ~Cll' "rcf" '''~'''I-" ;::I'~'.t -"~ll-'~"-~'-'''ej , "'j"'" "C" ~"'" t'-~ ~p., '~~'-"e'- 'i....-.

In early spring residents along West Side Drive and Jeffery S1. received notice that repair work needed to be done to existing water works. The work was done and that was followed up about a month later with whichever division is responsible for re-seeding the damaged areas. Unfortunately there was no notification from this division that the seeding was to be done, etc. but when we saw the work had been done we made sure to water the area to ensure decent growth of the new grass. The grass was growing well (with some occasional weeds that we were dealing with at the time) when personnel came around again and tossed black dirt on the area killing the new grass that was growing. There was no communication that this was going to take place nor did they take into account that the grass was growing and, other than a couple of sparser areas, seemed to be doing well. This latter occurrence happened in June when we were getting little to no rain. I've attached pictures of our front with the City's right of way to show you what a "wonderful" job was done to make our area look nice. Our questions: 1. Why did they come back the second time when the grass was obviously growing and we had nurtured it? 2. Why did they wait so long (until the hot weather of late spring with little rain to come by and put down more black dirt? 3. Did they use the cheapest seed they could find which contained virtually no grass seed as the pictures will show, or were the weed seeds in the black dirt? 4. When this property was built the front was sodded not seeded. Why wasn't the same thing done this time? 5. What does the city suggest be done to remedy this situation? I'm not normally a complainer but this really bothers me that my tax money is being put to such poor use. I've also included pictures of what our normal property looks like to highlight the difference for what was done. We are aware that one of the Associations across the street even spent $500 to try to repair their area but it still looks pretty bad. One other area of contention we have is seeing the workers smoking as they are doing the work. Not only from the health issue inherent with smoking and our taxpayer money for the insurance and medical costs but also throwing the cigarette butts on people's property. Unfortunately we don't have any photos of that behavior. Thank you for any help you can give with this problem.

The dirt and seeding in these neighborhoods was related to a project initiated and managed by the Water Division. It began the week of March 12th and took approximately one month to complete. On March 5th a notice of the start date was placed on the door of each residence that was to be affected. The notice included a summary of the work to be completed and contact numbers of Water Division staff who were involved in the project. Below is what I've been able to learn in order to answer your questions. . Why did they come back the second time when the grass was obviously growing and we had nurtured it. . Water Division staff may have actually spread dirt and seeded three times so far; after the proiect was completed in April. in early June. after receivinq calls about the lack of qrowth. and aqain in late June after the torrential rains had washed away some of the excavated areas. Each effort was related to requests from the neiqhborhoods and field observations. . Why did they wait so long (until the hot weather of late spring with little rain to come by and put down more black dirt? . The. dirt and seedinq was related to neiqhborhood requests. field observations. and the unusual weather event in late June. Seasonal conditions have a direct impact on how well the seed takes. Unfortunately as you stated conditions were not as conducive this year. . Did they use the cheapest seed they could find which contained virtually no grass seed as the pictures will show, or were there weed seeds in the black dirt? . The qrass seed had a 'commercial' desiqnation and was purchased locally. This type of qrass seed is included in the City's enqineerinq specifications and has been successfully used for similar projects in the past. Althouqh we are always lookinq to use the most cost effective seed we would not intentionally purchase one that would not qrow or contain weeds.

The degree of harm varies and is depended on the size and depth of each fault or area of faults. Some are capable of causing accidents to smaller vehicles like bicycles and motorcycles. A good number of convoluted or depressed locations on the pavement of several streets are also present and these, usually unmarked sudden changes of street levels, are just as harmful and potentially dangerous as other road discrepancies. Many of these pits, cracks and gaps have been present for a long time. I have lived in Iowa City since 1969 and do recall having observed such widespread deterioration of its streets before as I noticed this year. I have also noticed a gradual drop in civility and a rise in violent crime in this town in the last 10- 15 years and I believe that these undesirable developments and the multitude of defects on the streets are interrelated and the result of the naive and shortsighted politicians who now run the city. As you might suspect this communication to you is not just a simple citizen's complain of a pothole or two and will progress to a higher level of inquiry concerning the city's legal obligations to the safety of drivers and cars, standards of street construction, standards of street repairs, minimum qualifications of paving contractors, scrutiny level by city engineers of materials and techniques used in pavement construction, and more. Paving streets is a very expensive affair and roads must be made in way that would last for many years. The common utterance "water seeping through cracks then freezing and expanding etc" pacifies those who prefer convenience to the discomfort of truth but, in my view, this explanation does not justify the number of faults present in our streets today. It is worth noting here that the policy of waiting for citizens to notify you of broken pavement locations before you take action, if any, (many of the faults have been around for more than a year) is unreasonable and impractical since, as I discovered, it is usually difficult and even dangerously distracting for a driver to accurately determine the location of a defect on the road after driving over it. The lack of sequential numbering of buildings along the streets, the unpredictable and confusing cardinal points designation on some streets, the occasional duplication of street names, and the lack of uniform design of street number signs greatly contribute to the difficulty of accurately determining the site of the fault.

At 1930 Lower Muscatine Rd (Concord Cleaners). On Westminster St. at Bowling Green PI intersection. At 2607 Friendship St. Hazardous recessed storm drain grating. At intersection of Grand Ave and Court St. On Liberty Drive between Scott Blvd and Commerce Drive there are several faults including heaving. At least this section of Liberty Drive does not seem to have been constructed to accommodate the weight of the heavy trucks that were expected to use it. Also, this drive is not designed to allow large trucks to make a north turn on Scott Blvd and a south turn on Commerce drive without driving over the curb and sidewalks on these streets or, in order to avoid this illegal action, proceed on the opposing lane and make a turn against oncoming traffic. I cannot imagine that you are not aware of this potentially dangerous design limitation of Liberty Rd. I do not have a clear concept of the people that build roads. I think that they are usually private contractors in which case I like to know if a City department, like Public Works, maintains a vigilant eye on the paving techniques and materials used during construction or repairing of roads in Iowa City.

I will add the additional areas with city responsibility to the current priority list for pavement repairs. The Highway 6 area and Interstate 80 overpass area on North Dubuque Street and Linder Road will be forwarded to the mOT and Johnson County Secondary Road Departments for their consideration. Pavement repairs and improvements have been recently completed in the 300 and 400 blocks of Amhurst Street, on Scott Blvd. south of Wellington St., on North Dubuque St. south of Kimball Rd., and on Muscatine Ave. near Carver Street. The mission of the Street Division is to provide a quality driving surface on city streets and bridges during all seasons of the year. The following quantities of materials have been utilized during the past year to maintain the approximate 375 lane miles of streets. Total concrete pavement repair: Total rock base repair: Total asphalt pavement patching: Total soil for backfill & restoration: Total lineal feet crack sealed: 6,240 square yards 1,100 tons 300 tons 210 tons 25,000 feet Thank you again for expressing your concerns with street conditions.

Governor Street and Dubuque Street to have this portion of Kimball Road be considered for the City's Traffic Calming Program. The City completed an evaluation and deemed the street qualifies for the program based on the 85th -percentile speed of traffic exceeding 5 mph over the posted speed limit of 25 mph, and exceeding collector street volume of 1000 vehicles per day. There was a public meeting held with the neighborhood on July 25th to discuss the program and the available alternatives. At this meeting neighborhood residents agreed that speed humps would be the best solution. Speed humps are not the same as speed bumps. Speed bumps are used to slow traffic in parking lots and must be driven over very slowly. Speed humps are 12 feet in length with a maximum height of 3 inches in the center as shown in the attached drawing. A speed hump is meant to be driven over at the speed limit (25 mph on Kimball Road). The next step in the City's Traffic Calming Program evaluation is a survey of the affected neighborhood. The "neighborhood" is defined by the adopted policy as all residential dwelling units on property which is contiguous to Kimball Road between N. Governor Street and Dubuque Street. This results in a survey of 40 affected properties. The enclosed postage paid survey card has been provided to you so that you can indicate to us whether or not you are in favor of the proposed speed humps on Kimball Road. The City's Traffic Calming Program is not intended to have the City impose unwanted traffic calming devices on a neighborhood. The neighborhood survey must indicate that at least 60% of neighborhood residents responding are in favor of the proposed traffic calming installation. Otherwise, the proposal will not be forwarded to the City Council for consideration. To clarify, each dwellinq unit receives one vote, not each resident. If the proposal receives at least 60% approval from your neighborhood, it will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration. You will be notified of the City Council meeting date, and notice signs will also be posted in the Kimball Road right-of- way. The City Council will make the final decision. Comments on the proposal from Iowa City Transit, the Fire Department, the Police Department, the Ambulance Service and the Department of Public Works will also be provided to the City Council. If approved by the City Council, we will install the speed humps near the locations shown on the enclosed diagram this fall. Signs will also be installed warning motorists of the speed humps. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Please return your survey postcard no later than August 20, 2007.

Each quarter JCCOG issues a summary report assessing agency performance; this is the fourth report. The quarterly reporting includes the mission statement of the agency; a brief description of services provided; and 2 - 3 measurable goals/objectives that the agency can be assessed on throughout the fiscal year. Also, agency board minutes and financial reports are submitted each quarter. The City of Iowa City provides financial support to local human services agencies through the Aid-to-Agencies allocation in the annual budget. For FY07, the amount was $446,973.00. The sources of funding are the general fund ($305,923), Community Development Slock Grant ($105,000), and Water & Wastewater Utility Sill Abatements ($36,050). Thirteen agencies, two specific programs, STAR (Shelter House) and Youthworks (UAY) and the Johnson County Juvenile Justice Youth Development Collaborative received funding. The annual amount given to each agency ranges from $2,000 to $63,049. Also included is a small contingency fund ($13,436) that is available for emergencies or unexpected expenses that may come up during the year with the approval of the City Manager. Attached you will find the fourth quarter FY07 assessment of each human service agency that receives funding from the City of Iowa City. In FY08, we will continue to provide quarterly reports, including summaries of goals and objectives for each agency.

With so many matches currently open, staff is stretched to properly supervise each match (which is key in maintaining a quality relationship) and can not make new matches without additional staff. At the end of each school year, Big Brothers Big Sisters conduct a "Report on the Match" for the School Buddy program [an adult meets weekly with a child in their school setting]. The volunteer, child and the child's teacher fill out an evaluation form. Here's a comment from a teacher: "Missy has made a complete turnaround since she began working with her buddy. She is always smiling and happy to be at school. She's getting daily work, as well as homework completed on time which we did not see prior to her meeting with her buddy. She has such a positive attitude towards school now, and I attribute most of that to her School Buddy." jccoghs/FY074lhqlagencyreview.doc 5 Agency: Crisis Center of Johnson County FY07 Funding: Iowa City $38,575 Coralville $6,955 Mission: The Crisis Center provides basic emotional and material support through trained volunteers and staff in an accessible, nonjudgmental and caring environment.

An example is pet care. Pet abuse is a common factor in relationships where battering is occurring. Many times, a victim will state that they are reluctant to leave or come to shelter because they know their abusive partner will injure or kill a loved family pet or farm animals. DVIP has created a pet fund to assist with vet medical bills that result from abuse and have some individuals that will foster pets while the victim is in shelter (this could be up to 90 days and kenneling would be cost prohibitive). jccoghs/FY07 4thqtagencyreview. doc 7 Agency: Elder Services, Inc.

Goals & Progress: 1. Children will develop social, emotional, aesthetic and artistic, physical and intellectual skills along a developmental continuum designed to strengthen and improve their chances of achieving success in school and life. Progress: · Young child programming: Programs offered this quarter specifically for the young child (birth to 5 years of age) include: full and part-day child development programs and behavior/early intervention services. Also, a number of parent-child programs include activities like ongoing home visits, monthly family book nights, numerous family trips to the children's museum and public library and an on-site parent-tot play group. · Breakthrough to Literacy is a research-based literacy program incorporating reading, writing, oral and print language development, phonics, and computer usage into the program day. Students in the classroom read a 'Big Book' story with the teacher during circle time, and then re-read the same story throughout the day in a variety of small group settings focusing on different academic skills. For example, during the writing group, the students write stories about the Big Book and work on specific letter writing; during the thinking group, the students categorize different elements of the story and learn how to predict, 'what's next;' and, during the computer time, students re-read the story on the computer again and again (using headphones and speakers) and the computer acts as a one-on-one tutor. · During FY07, children made gains in all Breakthrough screening areas. In oral vocabulary, students began the program year scoring at 78% on oral vocabulary tests (repeating basic site words and basic letter sounds aloud) and finished the year at 87% on oral vocabulary. Similarly, students showed gains on print awareness screenings with only 51 % of the students able to 'read' age-appropriate letters and words at the beginning of the year and 72% able to read age-appropriate letters and words at the end of the year. During the year, students read a total of28 books and read these books a total of 116 times (each book was read about 4 times by each student). · The after-school licensed programs showed positive results during the past school year. Youth in the after-school programs maintained 87% average program attendance throughout the year. Finally, all school-age youth participated in intensive health/wellness programming throughout jccog hs/FY07 4thqtagencyreview. doc 13 the year with walking clubs, healthy snack/foods served, and discussions about wellness. 22 youth collected pre-health/fitness data this program year; post data will be collected in August 2007. 2. Adults will strengthen their networks of support, work toward developing life skills necessary for achieving their personal goals and meeting their diverse needs. Neighborhood Centers continues to offer area adults a multitude of supports and activities to help meet goals and family needs. Educational, employment, parenting, and life-skill building programs were offered. During this quarter some of the programs included: Home visit programs; on-site GED and ELL adult education classes and supports; evening parent support groups; nutrition classes; computer classes; and a variety of opportunities for neighborhood members to meet their neighbors and focus on neighborhood-building activities. Progress: · Through the support of the Kohl's WILD Kids grant, we planted a garden along the parking lot at Broadway this spring. A dedication was held in April, facilitated by City Council member Regenia Bailey, with a formal planting of vegetables and flowers. The garden is being maintained by various Broadway groups; afterschool programs, adult GED classes and community service volunteers. The lettuce and spinach provided a salad that fed 200 neighbors for the spring clean-up. And the tomatoes and peppers are feeding 120 children lunch this summer. We are very excited about this new project and hope to "grow" our garden in future years.

We do this by offering youth development, counseling and prevention programs that make use of young people's talents, creativity and energies. Goals & Progress: UA Y uses local funding as match for a number of grants they receive. They are reporting on a different grant program each quarter. 1. The Teen Parent Program provides a comprehensive array of services to young families in Johnson County. Services are tailored to the individual needs of program participants utilizing a strength-based, family focused model for service delivery. Progress: · 29 of the teen moms attended support groups for 301 contacts that included a variety of guest speakers and resources, in addition to a group offered at Tate High School. Home visits were provided to 121 teen parent families, with 1134 hours in home. 1593 hours of skill building were provided. Parents As Teachers and Partners for a Healthy Baby were the curricula used. 73 participants received counseling for 461 hours. 28 children received enhanced respite child care for 1293 hours while their parents attended to appointments, classes, and household needs. A primary goal is for teen parents to complete education, overcoming identified barriers with help from the VA Y family support workers. 90% of the teen parents this year completed high school or actively enrolled in highs school or college. · Staff networked with DHS income workers, WIA, Promise Jobs and during home visits helped teens develop self-sufficiency plans. 46% of families were receiving FIP benefits 69% had at least one parent working outside the home and 51 % had a parent actively enrolled in an educational program. Only 2 (5%) of the teen moms had subsequent births. Youthworks 1. Identify and enroll 25 eligible youth annually. Progress: · 26 youth were recruited and enrolled in Youthworks for FY07. 2. 70% of youth will complete classroom work and practice work Progress: · 100% completed classroom work, 57% completed practice work. 3. 80% of youth who completed the classroom portion will demonstrate improved knowledge of job search skills, workplace conduct, work problem solving as demonstrated by pre and post-test scores. jccoghs/FY07 4lhqlagencyreview. doc 18 Progress: · 96% of the youth who completed classroom demonstrated significant improvement in knowledge of employment skills. 4. 50% of youth who enroll will complete an internship. Progress: · 30% of enrolled youth completed or are currently active at a paid internship for the year. 5. 75% of youth who complete an internship will secure employment within 6 months. Progress: · 30% of the year's Youthworks participants secured employment with the assistance of Youthworks staff. Youthworks was very successful in recruiting participants, class completion rates, and improving job skill knowledge. Practice work completion rates, paid internship completion rates, and employment rates did not meet expectations. UA Y Youthworks staff were active in the re-design of Youthworks and the development of the Johnson County Youth Employment Consortium (YEC). Charles Taylor co-taught the first YEC class, and continues to recruit and provide community support to YEC youth. UA Y believes that several program changes enhance YEC, including: serving countywide participants, providing financial incentives for component completion, eliminating the practice work phase, and housing both classroom & internship development with one agency, will enhance program success. Additional comment: We understand that by reporting in four separate program over the year, the reviewers might not get sense of the flow of a particular program. UAY's intent was to give a picture of how the very different programs work together. For example, assistance to runaways in the Main Center links them to services available to victims. Another example is when teen parents access a support group or class, they are exposed to other youth development programs. We can identify youth-in-need who might not otherwise be on the radar. While we understand that the report for the coming year may ask us to report differently, this was the intent of using four program areas to report.

We have added a table to show number of people each agency has served in FY07. Unduplicated numbers (number of people served) were requested as opposed to duplicated numbers (number of services offered). I believe we received a mix of unduplicated versus duplicated. For some agencies a person may receive a service one time (e.g. CPR training) or with other agencies a person may receive ongoing services (e.g. home chore service). Please keep this in mind when reviewing the numbers.

There are 25 students who have enrolled in the Learning Community, all living together in Hillcrest Residence Hall. Weare arranging a small reception for the Learning Community on Wednesday, August 29 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm in the Riverview Lounge in Hillcrest. There will be some light refreshments and we have invited faculty and staff who are interested in the community (there will be staff from the Center for teaching's Service learning group, and Social Work Students, and so on). We will also be inviting students who are members of the Multicultural Studies & Leadership Learning Community to this event. And, it would be great if one or more of you would like to come, as well. These are students who responded to this description of the community: Students often arrive on campus with a background in community service, and many are interested in continuing to volunteer. They'd like to make a difference in their new community and become leaders and active citizens in the future. In the Citizenship, Leadership, and Service Learning Community, students can continue their civic engagement and also learn new skills. And so I am sure that they would enjoy meeting you, and may already be thinking of ways they can become involved in the Iowa City community! (We've added a link to the City Council and the Student liaison on the community's web site). Please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like more information (or you may contact Professor Robert Vanderbeek, who is coordinating the First-Year Seminar associated with the LC, or Ms Jennifer Harbour who will be the T A for the community; I've copied them on this email).

ICPD has posted this article on the web site in an effort to inform students and parents about the facts of what has occurred over the past 12 months. Additionally, we are working with UIPD and Kirkwood to get the word out. Know the Facts - Think Safety Recent Attacks in Iowa City Since September 1, 2006, twenty six assaults have taken place near the outlying area of "downtown" Iowa City. Most have been reported to police hours or days after the incident preventing law enforcement from taking immediate action. While not all the attacks are the actions of the same individual, approximately 18 of them appear to be from the same suspect. The attacker in one case is described as a dark-haired male, white, early 20's, approximately 5'7-9" tall and weighing 165 pounds. His usual pattern is to unexpectantly confront his female victims and grab them in a sexual manner. He does this by quickly reaching under or into clothing, touching her inappropriately and knocking his victim to the ground. He then flees the area. Walking home at night The victims are generally younger females (early 20's) who are walking unescorted from the downtown area during the late evening or early morning hours. Another frequent similarity is that the victims are distracted in some way by talking on their cell phones, music device or carrying an item which has their attention. While no victim has been seriously injured physically, the trauma of such an attack is very real. The Iowa City community is a safe place to live. Unfortunately, these sorts of criminal acts do occur. The Police Department has taken an increased proactive approach to solving these attacks by utilizing several methods from investigation to special patrols as well as working with the Universitv Police, Coralville Police, and Johnson Countv Sheriff's Office. It is the Police Department's mission to do everything possible to keep everyone safe, but it takes the whole community working together to stop this sort of crime. Everyone has the right to live free of unwanted attention, harassment, and abuse. What You Can Do . You will be safest in well lit areas where there are groups of people. Look and act confident while you are walking, be aware of your surroundings, trust your instincts and don't be concerned about appearing rude if you feel threatened. There is safety in numbers; make it a habit to walk with others. If you regularly jog or cycle vary your route and time. Stay on well lit roads and main paths with open spaces where you can see and be seen by other people. Avoid wooded areas and adjust your routine to daylight hours if possible. Recognize that the use of a cell phone or personal stereo may distract you from paying attention to your surroundings and persons acting suspiciously. Avoid consuming alcohol or other substances that may impair your judgment or your ability to react to a confrontation. Let someone know when you are intending to leave and arrive at a particular destination. . . . . . . If you think someone is following you go to the nearest place where there are other people or a place that is well lit. If you have a cell phone call 911 or the appropriate police department for assistance. If you have speed dial capabilities, program these numbers into your cell phone. It is important to know your location when calling anyone for assistance so they know where to respond. If someone tries to take your property from you remember, your physical safety is more important than any material object. If you see someone acting suspiciously, DIAL 911. While you may not feel you fit the profile for a victim, you can possibly keep someone else from being harmed. If you have any information about these crimes or know the identity of the suspect(s) please call the Iowa City Police Department or the CrimeStoppers tip line. If you use the CrimeStoppers line anonymity is guaranteed and you may be eligible for a reward if your information leads to an arrest.

College MINUTES CITY COUNCIL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE July 24,2007 CITY HALL, LOBBY CONFERENCE ROOM Preliminary Members Present: Regenia Bailey, Connie Champion, Bob Elliott Members Absent: none Staff Present: Wendy Ford, Jeff Davidson, Tracy Hightshoe, Steve Long. Others Present: Nancy Quellhorst, Mark Nolte, Joe Raso, Anna Sobaski and Darin Vig with Gluten Evolution, IIham B. Mohamed with Nile Valley RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL: Champion moved, seconded by Elliott, that the Alpla Expansion TIF application be recommended for Council approval: Motion passed 3-0. Elliott moved, seconded by Champion, that the following recommendation regarding Gluten Evolution LLC be forwarded to Council for the August meeting: $50,000, partially secured by a mortgage on the private residence. Deferred payment would be allowed, not to exceed 6 months. Term would remain at 7 years, 3% interest rate. Motion passed 3-0. CALL MEETING TO ORDER Chairperson Regenia Bailey called the meeting to order at 8:30 AM. APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM Julv 10. Minutes were approved as amended. ALPLA EXPANSION TIF APPLICATION Ford reviewed the City's positive history with Alpla and details of the current proposed development agreement - a 4 year 100% TIF rebate capped at $600,000. Alpla would expand into an 82,200 square foot addition to the old General Mills building, and agree to maintain 180 permanent full time positions and add 25 additional positions, all at $14.00 per hour or greater, plus benefits. Ford further noted that they could not specifically deal with old noise problems in the new agreement, but included noise issues in Article 2f of the agreement as such: Developer will fully cooperate with the City in resolution of any traffic, parking, trash removal, excessive noise or public safety problems which may arise in connection with the construction and operation of the Minimum Improvements. Alpla has invested improvements on the noise issues on the older buildings. Marcia Klingaman had had made some neighborhood calls on the issue, and found that perceptions of the noise output ranged from no issue to very annoying. Champion moved, seconded by Elliott, that the Alpla Expansion TIF application be recommended for council approval: Motion passed. GLUTEN EVOLUTION CDBG ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUNDS REQUEST Hightshoe reviewed the staff recommendation and rationale included in the packet. Staff recommendation is to provide a $50,000 loan, partially secured by a mortgage on the private Economic Development Committee July 24, 2007 Page 2 residence. Job creation would require 1.5 FTEs. Additionally, she noted that she would not advise creating additional jobs until cash flow improves. Deferred payment would be allowed, however not to exceed 6 months. Term would remain at 7 years, 3% interest rate. Elliott noted that the initial request was for $105,000, and inquired whether $50,000 would be enough to address their financial needs. Anna Sobaski, owner, responded that it will allow the hiring of one person, and the purchase of a much needed forklift in the warehouse. Darin Vig said $50,000 addresses the short-term need; at present staffing is basically just Sobaski and her sister. Sobaski is the face of the product. The new position would provide part-time help with marketing, support for PR and sales. Bailey inquired about profit/loss. Vig responded that they purchase their raw materials from copacker, so their costs per items sold is very constant. Cost is about 40% of the selling price. Sales are going up; Sobaski noted that as they sell more, the cost should come down because they will qualify for volume discounts. Bailey asked about sales volume. Volume has increased from 50,000 in 2004 to 200,000 units today. Market penetration is national (they are in all 50 states), and international; they ship to Canada and the UK regularly. They are in the national chain Wild Oats, which is merging with Hall Foods. Elliott moved, seconded by Champion, that the following recommendation be forwarded to Council for the August meeting: $50,000, partially secured by a mortgage on the private residence. Deferred payment would be allowed, not to exceed 6 months. Term would remain at 7 years, 3% interest rate. Motion passed. NILE VALLEY RESTAURANT. Hightshoe introduced this application for a new restaurant serving Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food and gourmet coffee, beginning in September. They have a location on the ground floor of a multi-unit complex at 335 S Gilbert Street. They are requesting funds for working capital, construction, and inventory. The applicant initially requested $110,000, but has re-submitted the request at $50,000. As a startup business, this is more risky, and there is no collateral for the loan. The applicant disclosed that the co-owner filed for bankruptcy in 1997. However, the credit report indicates no past due amounts, and demonstrates that the applicants have a current history of paying loan obligations. The owner is willing to make a significant personal financial investment in the business, up to about $70,000. Any funds used for construction would require payment of union wages, whether they used union workers or not. This is likely to limit available contractors and increase the price of the work. Staff therefore recommends $25,000 for working capital only, 5 year term (maximum of 7 years) at 4% interest. Regarding competition, Hightshoe noted that we did fund Oasis Falafel with CDBG- Economic Development Funds. That loan was for $25,000,4% interest, 5-year term. Elliott inquired about the lack of collateral. IIham Mohamed, the applicant, responded that she had no house to put up, and US Bank is securing their loan by having the applicant purchase the equipment through the bank. Bailey asked what other communities do with these kinds of loans and securities. Hightshoe mentioned the city of Dubuque has an economic development fund, but'no specific policies on its distribution. The city of Des Moines has more detailed rules. Bailey voiced a few concerns, noting that restaurants are always a challenge. Comparison to Oasis is good, a comparable situation; however, noted, that they had done some marketing and had a following before their opening. When asked what she saw as her market base, or her following, Mohamed replied that she has done some vending in Iowa City; at the cultural fair in the Field House and RAGBRAI in Coralville last year, for example. Economic Development Committee July 24, 2007 Page 3 Bailey stated that the cash sales projections look very ambitious. Asked if she thought it was realistic, Mohamed said they figured on $6 average sales per person, breakfast, lunch, and dinner; and doesn't see it as a difficult thing to accomplish. Her goal is to reach 150 sales per day for the first 6 months, and that would clear $100,000 for the first year. She is planning to deliver, also. Proposed hours are 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., 7 days a week at the beginning, with 10 employees. Once they establish which is the lowest day, that will become the day off. Bailey finds 150 people a day to be ambitious, noting that there are down days and months. Elliott has concerns about providing an unsecured loan with taxpayers' money; saying its neat to have this type of business in that location, but starting from scratch with no following is risky. He is concerned that projected sales cannot be met. Bailey added that most of the expenses are fixed; and there is not a lot of "wiggle room" in the projections. Elliott also noted the lack of a resume in her materials. He questioned her business experience, noting the past tells a lot about the future. Mohamed responded that they are immigrants from Sudan and had done many different things since that time. She had been an air hostess for 10 years for Saudi Air Lines and Sudan Airways. They came to the U.S. in 1993; since then they have worked in many different jobs, and both got higher education. Her husband, Bedrelddin Ahmed got a PhD and is a United Nations translator in Iraq currently; Mohamed graduated from Kirkwood Community College and got a job at the Neighborhood Centers. Elliott inquired whether she had food service experience or experience running a business, or managing a payroll, or other management experience. Mohamed answered that she did not. Bailey asked whether she had worked with the Small Business Development Center. Mohamed responded yes, and also with the Cedar Rapids Business Center, and that she is also planning to take more business classes. Bailey asked whether she had developed different sales scenarios, or, if they don't make projected sales, how they would deal with the shortfall? Mohamed noted that she would create a plan addressing different revenue scenarios. Champion asked where the projection of 150 customers per day came from and what they absolutely needed to survive. Mohamed replied that she got the number by studying other similar restaurants. She did her own observational survey during the last days of May, when business was very slow, and counted an average of 16 an hour; she felt she could do much better. Bailey indicated interest in going ahead but would like to see different revenue scenarios along with a marketing plan. $25,000 is an appropriate figure. Bailey noted that it would be nice to have something other than liquor stores in that area. Champion also indicated that she was not against the project, but would like to see a marketing plan. Quellhorst asked if she had catering plans. Mohamed replied yes; she plans to purchase a bicycle for close-by deliveries. She doesn't know how much of that she can do until she starts. Bailey reiterated a need to see a marketing plan. Elliott repeated his problem with no collateral, and the lack of person-power to handle both operational marketing and other kinds, such as catering. Bailey asked Mohamed to bring back a marketing plan and cash flow scenarios based strictly on student basis to see ups and downs. Nolte suggested Mohamed also check the USAID programs to aid refugees; noting that even though she is now a U.S. citizen, she still qualifies. Bailey stated that the request will be revisited at the next meeting, which will be scheduled early August in order to get it on Council's August agenda. STAFF TIME Ford provided new wording for the bankruptcy question on CDBG loan applications: Has the company or any officer of your company been involved in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings Economic Development Committee July 24, 2007 Page 4 during the past 7 years from the date of this application? If so, provide the details. The wording was accepted by majority agreement. Ford mentioned that we'd heard a little bit about how other communities distribute their CDBG loan proceeds. We are going to continue this research not only to determine proper distribution but also to define the most efficient way to have a CDBG loan fund portfolio. Hightshoe then provided a spreadsheet showing the history of all Iowa City CDBG Economic Development Fund applications and status from July 1, 2002 (FY03) to present. Ford announced that in September the National Development Council will be providing a three- day class in St Louis that Hightshoe will attend. Elliott complimented Hightshoe's work. COMMITTEE TIME The committee scheduled their next meeting: Monday, August 13, at 8:30 a.m. ADJOURNMENT Champion moved and Elliott seconded adjournment at 9:31 AM. Motion passed. Next meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 13, 8:30 AM, in the City Hall Lobby Conference Room.

Motion carried on a vote of 7-0. Kelly/Gould. PUBLIC DISCUSSION-Honohan Walker stated that she attended a meeting of the new Board established by the Johnson County Consortium on Successful Aging. She noticed that the Senior Center was not involved with the Board meeting or in planning the activities scheduled for this fall and questioned whether or not the Senior Center had been invited to participate. Kopping responded that the Center was not asked to plan, host or be a part of any Boards or events. Walker asked why the Senior Center was not represented on the Consortium's new Board and reported being told that the Senior Center "was not interested" in being included. Kopping responded that she had not been contacted about the Board or its scheduled meetings and never indicated to anyone that the Center "was not interested" in participating. Walker questioned whether or not the Senior Center had ever been asked to provide office space for the Consortium's Aging Specialist position recently established by the Consortium. Kopping reported that she had not been contacted about providing an office for this employee. Walker suggested the Senior Center make arrangements with Table to Table to bring in day old bread and pastries to share with seniors who come to the Center. Witwer Senior Center in Cedar Rapids currently offers a similar program. DRAFT JUL Y2007 COMMISSION ASSIGNMENTS-Honohan Gould agreed to write the web article summarizing today's meeting. Honohan volunteered to write the web article summarizing the August 2007 meeting and attend the City Council and Board of Supervisors meetings to report on the Center and Commission's August meeting. VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION EVENT Jim Hall agreed to provide entertainment at the Volunteer Recognition Breakfast scheduled for Friday July 20,2007. Gift certificates will be given as door prizes and each person in attendance will receive a gift in appreciation of their volunteer efforts during 2006. As in previous years, the senior nutrition program has agreed to order and help prepare the recognition breakfast. EXPANDED HOURS OF PARTICIPANT ACCESS TO THE POOL ROOM AND COMPUTER LAB- KOPPING Wombacher suggested that the current computer lab door be replaced with one that has a window, so users do not feel cut off from the rest of the building. She went on to say that several people have asked that the Computer Lab and Pool Room be made available to members during the same extended hours as the Exercise Equipment room. Currently the Exercise Equipment room is available to members on weekdays between 7 and 8 a.m. and 5 - 7 p.m. and on weekends from 10:30 a.m. - I :30 p.m. Buhman provided a report outlining the frequency with which the Exercise Equipment room is used during the extended hours. The room is used regularly on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. and intermittently by independent contractors offering classes during weekday evening hours. During weekend hours, the room is accessed by members an average of 20 times each month. Current staffing was reviewed. Kopping works until 6 p.m. on weekdays and a maintenance employee works weekday evenings until 9 p.m. While staff members are here to provide coverage during Center scheduled weekend events, no one is scheduled to work weekends on a regular basis. Moreover, employee absences can further reduce staff coverage during extended hours. It was noted that annual budget requests for additional staff to facilitate expanded hours of operation have been denied repeatedly. The Commission discussed safety concerns surrounding the use of the fitness room after hours and on weekends when staffing is very limited or not available at all and agreed that these concerns need to be addressed prior to considering expanded access to other areas of the building. Gould expressed concern regarding the current practice of opening the exercise room on weekends in the absence of Center staff. The Center has an obligation to serve the seniors, but it also has an obligation to protect them. It was the consensus of the Commission is that the current policy opens up too many opportunities for people to be 2 DRAFT JUL Y2007 injured with no available staff assistance and that the policy needs to be reviewed and possibly revised. Walker suggested that the hours of the Program Specialist and Volunteer Specialist be modified to provide building coverage on weekends. Engel, Maiers and Honohan volunteered to serve on a subcommittee to make a recommendation regarding this policy. OPERATIONS - Kopping Kopping reported that she met with the Director of the Parks and Recreation Department, Terry Trueblood, the Parks and Recreations Board Chair and Honohan to discuss various programs and activities both departments offer and identify ways they can collaborate. While there are differences in the way each department operates, there are several areas they have in common. For instance, both departments produce a program guide, both departments charge fees for services, offer classes, and use the same software programs. The next step is to have staff from both departments get together to share ideas on how they can cooperate to save money and increase services. These meetings are being planned. The Assembly Room project is nearing completion. The acoustical panels have been installed. The tables and chairs are schedule for delivery in August. The large construction project that includes the renovation to the ground floor restrooms is on hold until the funding is provided. Linda and Buhman talked to a representative from Recognition Art to discuss ways to acknowledge those who donate to the Center. He suggested incorporating the following four approaches for recognizing donors: I. A permanent display to recognize large donations to the Center's Foundation. 2. A smaller, easily modified display to recognize annual donations. This display could be updated on a monthly basis. 3. A display listing cumulative donations. This display would recognize donations by giving level and would be designed so names could be moved from one level to another. It was suggested that corporate donations be included on the cumulative giving display. 4. A display recognizing donations made in memory or in honor of someone. COMMISSION DISCUSSION-Kelly Engel gave a brief report to the Board of Supervisors and City Council. Motion: To adjourn. Motion carried on a vote of 7-0.

WASHINGTON STREET IOWA CITY, IA MEMBERS PRESENT: John Roffman, Chad Campion, Steve Buckman, AI Gerard, Gary Haman, Tim Fehr MEMBERS ABSENT: Doug DuCharme STAFF PRESENT: Tim Hennes (Sr. Building Inspector), Doug Boothroy (Director-Housing & Inspection Services), Roger Jensen (Deputy Fire Chief), John Grier (Fire Marshal) Sue Dulek (Asst. City Attorney), Jann Ream (Code Enforcement Asst. acting as minute taker) OTHERS PRESENT: Bob Welsh, Mike McKay (Public), Tom Bockenstedt (B&H Builders), Boyd Crosby (Boyd Crosby Construction), Dan Smith, Joan Tiemeyer (Iowa City Home Builders) RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: Recommended by a 4-2 vote (Roffman and Haman dissenting) to approve the adoption of the 2006 International Building, Residential, Fire, Mechanical, and Fuel Gas Codes and the 2006 Uniform Plumbing Code with all proposed amendments. CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Roffman called the meeting to order at 4:02 PM CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES: Minutes from the July 2,2007 meeting were reviewed. Haman moved to adopt the minutes. Buckman seconded. Minutes were approved with a unanimous vote of 5-0. Tim Fehr arrives after vote on minutes. Appeal the decision of the Buildino Official because he has incorrectlv interpreted a provision of the code. (1123 N. Dodoe Street). Appeal has been deferred pending the outcome of a Minor Modification application and decision. DRAFT Discussion and possible recommendation to Council reqardinq adoption of the 2006 International BuildinQ. Residential. Fire. Mechanical and Fuel Gas Codes and the 2006 Uniform Plumbinq Code. Jensen informed the Board that the included memo highlighted the notable changes and proposed amendments to the Fire code. He stated that the code and amendments had been endorsed by the Fire Prevention Advisory Committee (a group of local contractors who work with fire code requirements in Iowa City). Jensen said that staff had worked through the provisions with the committee and therefore felt that the provisions make sense from both the regulatory and practical stand points in terms of implementation. Buckman asked for clarification of Sec.1 04.12 which included the term "health hazard". He wondered what type of "health hazard" would allow the Fire Department to evict a premises. Jensen said it was an odd term but it was language from the model code. He said that it would have to be a hazard that the Fire code addresses - it would have to be code based. Buckman also asked about Sec.307.1.2 which states that any outdoor burning would have to stop by 11 :00 PM. He thought that the language was a little vague -did it allow burning to commence again after midnight? Dulek agreed that the language should be clarified. Roffman asked if whether there was a time frame for the new owner of an existing A2 occupancy that was not in compliance with the recently passed new regulations to come into compliance. Hennes responded that it would be during the process of approving the new liquor license - that there was no set time frame. Roffman was concerned that they would not be allowed to open until they complied. He was also concerned that the new owner would not know of the requirement until after the sale. Hennes said staff was trying to work out a process to keep everyone informed - perhaps a recorded document. Boothroy stated that H.I.S. has always given people a reasonable time for compliance if it appears that they are moving forward with compliance- submitted plans, contract with installer, etc. He saw no reason to think that that policy would change. There would only be a problem if the new owner made it known that he was not going to comply. Jensen pointed out more changes to the Fire code which include the allowance for radio notification, specifications for fire access roads and size of street address numbers, allowance for portable electric space heaters (certain types), and defined hose connection sizes. There were no public comments concerning the adoption of the Fire code. Hennes directed the Board to the memo which highlighted the notable changes to the Building code. He noted that some of the changes reflect amendments that were previously adopted by the City but now have become part of the code itself -so the DRAFT old amendments can be eliminated. Hennes pointed out that staff wants to amend out the new code provision for fall protection for windows that are located less than 24 inches from a finished floor and more than 72 inches above exterior grade. Staff felt it was inconsistent with other provisions of the code. Staff also proposes to amend out the provision for separate gas piping to individual townhouse units. Staff feels that the current code allows for the piping to run underneath floor systems to get to each unit and does not compromise the safety of the units. No change is necessary. Hennes then explained the proposed amendment for new usability requirements in the International Residential Code. They would apply to new dwelling units only and would include 1) the requirement for a minimum opening of 32 inches for interior doors, 2) switch and outlet placement in an area between 15 inches and 48 inches from the finished floor, 3) at least one bathroom (toilet and sink) on a level accessed by a no-step entrance and 4) at least one no-step entrance to the dwelling unit accessible from the public sidewalk or the required off street parking. Hennes pointed out that there were exceptions available to both the bathroom and the no-step entrance requirements. If the level that the no-step entrance accesses is not to be finished during the initial construction (such as the lower level of a split level home), then the bathroom need only be roughed in - not completed. The no-step entrance does not have to be provided during the initial construction if it can be demonstrated on the plans that there is room to provide for a no-step entrance in the future -such as a ramp in an attached garage that would provide access to the first floor level. Or the Building Official may waive this requirement completely if it is determined that strict compliance is financially or environmentally impractical. Because this amendment appears to be the only issue that the Iowa City Homebuilders Association opposes, Boothroy provided the Board with the rationale behind the proposed amendment. Boothroy stated this amendment addresses the inevitability of aging and that everyone will suffer some degree of mobility impairment as they age. The aging population is growing significantly and housing is not being designed for the health, safety and welfare of this aging population. Elderly needs have not driven the market for new homes in the past; homes are designed for the young healthy family. Boothroy said that the proposed standards are not Universal Design standards which go much farther than what is being proposed. These are minimum standards that deal with some of the structural issues that can be very expensive to correct or retrofit later. People do not face reality when it comes to their own aging and do not accept the limitations that come with aging. Boothroy said the standards address the issue of affordability because the standards either do not cost any more (or just minimally more) to install or are not required to be installed up front. It is generally more affordable for seniors to stay in their own home. Boothroy said that 50% of the people on assisted housing are either elderly or disabled. It is just this population that is on a fixed income and cannot afford to pay for structural changes to their homes at this point in their life. DRAFT So what this proposed code does require is planning for what may be needed in the future while not necessarily requiring the implementation up front. Boothroy also pointed out that, through the City, he has been building housing for low income families for many years to stricter usability standards than the ones proposed. The standards have not affected affordability at all. The last bid received for construction for a City built house came in at $80.00 a square foot and this was not a stripped down house. This was a house with many of the features that buyers require and expect in today's market - garages, side by side refrigerators, two bathrooms, wall ovens, 2x6 construction etc.. Boothroy said the voice of the consumer is reduced as that consumer ages. However, people do not want to leave their home until they absolutely have to and then it is usually in an emergency situation. There are already higher standards in place for housing built with public funds; these were adopted in 2002. At that time the Iowa City Homebuilder's Association did initiate an educational program for contractors and consumers to make them aware of these standards so that they could be used in all housing, not just housing built with public funds. However, education is not enough. Not enough contractors are participating. Therefore, it is important that these standards get adopted. Haman stated that it is his opinion that most of the new homes being built now are for young families and that, as they age, they are not going to stay in these homes -they are too big. He thought that it is wrong to tell people how to design and build their homes. Hennes pointed out that these standards are not just for the elderly or disabled. There may be temporary issues that these standards could help -a broken leg for instance. Also, young families have parents and grandparents who may be visiting or might need to move in. Boothroy gave the example of curb ramps. When they were first proposed many years ago, it was a controversial idea and many people fought it because they did not see the need. Now it is almost unimaginable to think about a cityscape without them. The ramps provide a benefit for everybody -not just the disabled. He said it is important to remember that these structures will exist long beyond the people who build them; they are an important asset to the infrastructure of the community. Roffman opened the discussion to the public. Dan Smith (IC Homebuilders) stated that City staff had worked very well with the homebuilders in working out the new code requirements. The only issue on which they disagreed was making these usability standards mandatory. He said that even when these standards are presented to consumers, the person may still choose not to implement them -that has happened. He said that there is a cost associated and it will have a greater impact on smaller homes. He was also concerned about the precedent that this may set for future code issues. It is the Homebuilder's belief that the building code is (and should be) only about the safety and structural integrity of a building. The DRAFT usability standards have nothing to do with that purpose. He stressed that they have worked for five years to promote Universal Design .as a voluntary market based approach. He felt it should be a market approach ....not mandatory. Mike McKay stated that he has been involved with the Johnson County Consortium on Successful Aging and its work on housing since its inception. They prepared a report on housing based on surveys and focus groups. What they found is that builders are more than willing to build to universal design standards if the consumer asks for it. The problem is that the public doesn't know to ask for it which is why education is important. He said that his group and other national groups such as AARP are all supporting efforts to increase usability in housing inventory. There are many ways to achieve this -some voluntary, some mandatory and some in-between. He described what some jurisdictions have done to promote these standards. Their concern isn't the exact method-just the goal. Bob Welsh wanted to make clear that he was speaking as an individual and not representing any particular group but he did want to make some points. People want to age in place in their homes. Person's homes often present barriers. As a retired minister, he has been in many homes where people would have to go up to an upstairs bathroom on their butt because they could no longer navigate the stairs. He has helped people figure out how to put a bathroom on the first floor. He stated that home modification is expensive and what is being proposed has minimal cost up front. He stated that, while education is important and the Homebuilder's are doing a good job, it is well known that change does not always come voluntarily but only after standards have been articulated and adopted as code. It was his opinion that building codes should be about more than the safety and structural integrity of a structure. Building code should also ensure the usability of housing which means housing that enables an owner to live in their own home in their youth and in their old age, when they are healthy and when they are disabled. The Iowa City area is becoming more attractive to seniors and that is an economic benefit to the whole community. Usable housing for seniors is key. Tom Bockenstedt stated that the basic issue is whether or not the open market will drive these changes. He believes it will. This has already been demonstrated with such issues as green building. He thinks the market is driving universal design -he is currently building such a house. He thought the attitude of the general public is changing in home buying - people buying homes these days are not planning on staying in the homes their whole life. When they get to the point of buying a home later in life, they will look at these issues and request these features then. He suggested that there may be other ways of providing incentives to provide these features in new homes rather than mandating them - perhaps an award system such as Historic Preservation has. Then the builder could use this award both as a marketing and educational tool. He believes the usability ideas are good but, as a DRAFT builder, half of him is for the code change and half of him is against it -he is never for government mandates. Joan Tiemeyer thanked the Building Department for their work and cooperation with IC Homebuilders in adoption of the new building code. However, on this issue, the Homebuilders feel this should be a market driven change. She asked that the Board wait to see how their education process works and then reevaluate these issues at the next code cycle. Roffman stated it seems that everyone agrees that these standards are good ones - the issue is whether they should be voluntary or mandated. He asked if other jurisdictions have adopted standards similar to these. Boothroy responded yes, but not in Iowa. Boothroy also stated that he liked the idea of an award or some sort of recognition for a builder who exceeds these minimum standards. This could also be used an educationall tool since it would get some publicity. Mckay noted that Bolingbroke, IL had adopted standards like this as code in 1999. Irvine, CA had a mandatory education requirement that required an owner to sign off stating that he had been advised of these standards and chose not implement them. Atlanta, GA and Pima County, AZ also did it as mandatory code. Haman stated that he would prefer that the City emphasize the educational process both with builders and designers and not make the standards mandatory. Campion stated that as a young home buyer, he did not think of any of these issues but he and his wife have already realized that they will not be able to age gracefully in the home they just bought. He also made the point that he and wife (who is an architect) went through the City -built Universal Design house on B Street when it was on the Parade of Homes (2002) and talked about all of those design standards at the time and thought they were worthwhile. However, when it came time to buy their home, they didn't think about or remember the issue of universal design or usability so education on its own is not enough. Buckman stated that he was struggling with the iS$ue of voluntary versus mandatory. He was concerned that there was no established t!ime frame for education to work. He cited the example of ADA (American Disabilty Act) standards. The issue was promoted through education for a long time but didn't really get anywhere until the federal government made it mandatory. He did see both sides of the issue. Roffman stated that it seemed once again Iowa City would be the only jurisdiction in the area to adopt an innovative standard. He was concerned about consistency among the local jurisdictions. He would prefer a mandatory education process and a DRAFT rewards or acknowledgement system. Boothroy stated that it was his understanding that Johnson County staff has indicated that they would recommend these standards if Iowa City did. Roffman asked if the Board had any questions concerning the rest of new codes - Mechanical, Plumbing and Fuel Gas. There were none. MOTION: Buckman moved to adopt the 2006 International Building, Residential, Fire, Mechanical, and Fuel Gas Codes and the 2006 Uniform Plumbing Code with all the proposed amendments. Seconded by Campion. VOTE: The motion was approved 4-2 with Roffman and Haman voting no. OTHER BUSINESS: The next meeting date was set for September 10. 2007. ADJOURNMENT: Haman moved to adjourn the meeting. Seconded by Gerard.

CITY OF IOWA CITY MEMORANDUM To: Robert Miklo, Senior Planner From: Doug Ongie, Planning Intern RE: Housing Inventories Date: May 21,2007 Staff has updated the City's three Housing Inventories through December 31, 2006. These inventories track the size and location of single-family and duplex subdivisions, manufactured and planned devellOpment housing subdivisions, and multi-family housing projects. Table 1. Summary of building activity in 2006 Housing Housing Acres Lots/Units developed Lots/Units approved, 5- approved year average Planned Development Housing 13.42 40 136 Multi-family Residential 10.56 70 175 Single-family and Duplexes 87.52 155 233 Manufactured HousinQ and Planned Development HousinQ The Manufactured Housing and Planned Development Housing category includes condominiums, townhouses, manufactured housing, senior housing, and other types of planned developments. Single-family lots in planned development zones are counted in the single,.family and duplex subdivision inventory, however, multi-family buildings ~pproved as part of planned developments are included as part of the planned development inventory. In 2006, 13.42 acres of new planned developments were approved, creating 40 dwelling units. Since 1995, an average of 158 units have been approved for development per year. This year's approved units total is well below the yearly average, and well below the five-year average of 136 units per year. Multi-familv Housina In 2006, 70 multi-family units were approved on 10.56 acres. The number of units approved in residential multi-family buildings is the lowest since 2000 when 39 units were approved. There was one project with 27 units approved in the downtown area (east of the Iowa River, south of Davenport Street, west of Van Buren/Dodge Streets, and north of the Iowa Interstate Railway) in 2006 (see Table 2). The Multi-family Inventory now includes miXled-use units, which typically involves apartment units above commercial buildings. An additional 366 units were added to the inventory through the years '1995 to 2006. The addition of the mixed-use units yielded two significant results: 1) a greater number of units in the downtown area and 2) an increase in the average overall units approved per year. Of the 366 units added to the inventory, 299 units were in the downtown area. In 2006, when excluding mixed-use units, the average multi- family units approved per year is 113 units. Including mixed-use units raised the units approved per year average to 139 units. Table 2. Location of New Multi-family Projects 1995-2006 Location of Multi-family Housing Projects Projects (Units) Downtown Outside of Year & Vicinity Downtown 1995 2 (38) 11 (21) 1996 4 (84) 9 (102) 1997 0(0) 7 (72) 1998 0(0) 2 (10) 1999 2 (87) 5 (9) 2000 1 (25) 3 (34) 2001 3 (50) 8 (70) 2002 1 (18) 20 (231) 2003 2 (62) 16 (318) 2004 2 (22) 9 (02) 2005 3 (95) 6 (60) 2006 1 (27) 5 (43) TOTAL 21 (488) 102 (1182) Sinale-familv Homes and Duplexes In 2006, seven single-family and duplex subdivisions were approved encompassing 87.52 acres and creating 155 lots. The number of lots approved in 2006 is below the five-year average of 233 lots, and is also below the overall average of 170 units approved since 1990. The average number of lots-per- acre, including open space, in 2006 was 1.77. Summary Planned Development Housing construction freQuently experiences peaks and valleys. Production of Planned Development Housing peaked in 2001-2002, but has experienced a recent drop-off in since 2002 (see Chart 1). The approval of Planned Development Housing units continued to have below average activity in 2005 and 2006. The multi-family housing trend has followed a similar path as Planned Development Housing. Multi-family units approved per year peaked at 380 in 2003, after a period of significant growth from 1999-2003. Since 2003, the number of units approved has fallen to 124 in 2004 and 80 in 2005. This trend continues in 2006 with only 70 units built (see Chart 2). After a sustained upswing in production, single-family homes and duplexes, has reached a period of lesser activity in 2006. In 2006, 155 single-family lots were approved, the first year below 200 units since 2001 (see Chart 3). The slow-down of new housing development has created a lower vacancy rate of platted lots and units. Total single-family lots constructed to total lots approved saw a slight increase from 72 percent in 2005, to 73 percent in 2006. Planned Development Housing had a substantial increase of total units constructed to total units approved from 66 percent in 2005, to 71 percent in 2006. Attachments Following are three charts that detail the pattern of development over time for each of the three housing types.
