The City will be placing all but two of the remaining Urban Renewal parcels on the market for private redevelopment, next week. Prior to officially soliciting offers to purchase this land, the Staff wishes to specifically bring to the attention of the Council certain long-range policy decisions which are reflected in the prospectus and the proposal packet. Section II. Don Zuchelli and members of your ly emphasized that successful redevelopment c public cooperation. Throughout the past year assistance of Zuchelli, Hunter and Associates established a land marketing program designed cooperation. Through this solicitation, the willing to make substantial investment commits that investment in carrying out redevelopment Council is in the public interest. staff have over the past year repeated - n only come about through private. - the City Council, with the Inc., and the City Staff, has to put into effect such public-private ity is seeking redevelopers who are ents and who are willing to risk which in the judgment of the City In order for the City to obtain such commitments from the private sector, the City must in turn make certain commitments to carry out public actions. All of these public actions have been discussed at length with the City Council, and a consensus has been reached regarding each of them. Section III. The Urban Renewal Plan has long contained provisions for the construction of parking structures to serve the central business district. As last amended, the Plan calls for the construction of at least 1300 off-street park- ing spaces. The prospectus states that the City will construct a parking structure accommodating approximately 900 cars on Block 83 and a second parking structure accommodating approximately 450 cars on Block GA. Don Zuchelli has emphasized that the provision of this parking is absolutely essential to the successful marketing and redevelopment of the commercial redevelopment parcels. The City is committing itself to provide this parking. Section IV. The prospectus also describes the public: improvements which have been, or are to be constructed in support of downtown redevelopment. of primary importance is the plaza to be constructed on College and Dubuque Streets, and the other improvements to be made at a later date on Washington and Capitol Streets. The restriction of these streets and their functions as pedestrian, access, or transit areas is set forth in the Urban Renewal Plan, and the City Council must be fully prepared to implement these provisions of the Plan. while it is true that changes in this Plan could be made at some future date, such changes could only occur after a good faith effort to implement the Plan and after a clear demonstration that the change was in the public interest. 325 0 City Council July 8, 1977 Page 2 Section V. Because of Don Zuchelli's strong conviction that bureaucratic delays are one primary obstacle to obtaining redeveloper commitments, the City is by the prospectus, pledging to carry out proposal review, plan review, and other required public actions in an expeditious and cooperative manner. The prospectus states that the successful offerors will be designated by October 18th, 33 days after close of receipt of proposals. The prospectus also states that following the designation of successful offerors, plans submitted for approval to the City Council shall be deemed approved unless approved or disapproved in writing within 40 days from receipt of the plans. These provisions will call for some long hours and hard work by the staff and the City Council during the proposal review period and the subsequent period when plan approvals are in progress.

In a letter dated April 21, 1977, Mr. Carl V. Blomgren, Director, Water Division, E.P.A., Region VII, indicated that, ".....in accordance with 40 CFR 35.917-1(h), the facility plan must contain such an agreement before the facility plan can be approved and final Step 1 payment processed.” Since receipt of that letter, it appears that planning for the proposed waste water treatment plant may be accelerated.

PO5TCR DAVIII PERRET MAX BELZER ROBERTVEVERA Mr. Jack Klaus Executive Director Old Capitol Associates Plaza Centre One Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mr. Klaus: We are pleased to hear of your interest in the potential for developing elderly housing in downtown Iowa City. The City of Iowa City will be placing urban renewal land on the market this month. The City will be soliciting offers to purchase and redevelop Parcel 103-3 for subsidized elderly housing. It is the City's intention to market this parcel exclusively for this purpose. While it would be possible to offer to purchase this parcel without a subsidy allocation, the City would prefer to convey this parcel to a developer who already has a HUD subsidy allocation. The City intends to convey this parcel for redevelopment to any developer who furnishes an offer to purchase and redevelop this site for subsidized elderly housing who has a HUD allocation for this site and otherwise meets the terms and conditions set forth by the City. Should HUD provide an allocatiorf of subsidized units for this site to more than one developer, the City will then need to care- fullk evaluate each offer on its merits. The City recognizes that for the purposes of senior citizen subsidized housing it may be desirable to include all or a portion of the City parking lot to the north of the site in the disposition to a developer. The City is prepared to consider proposals which include the use of the municipal parking lot as well as proposals which include only Parcel 103-3. It is our understanding, based on discussions with the HUD Des Moines office, that this proSedure will provide prospective developers sufficient site control to compete in HUD's Section B competition. If I may be of any additional assis- tance to you in this regard, please contact me. Si cer y yours, Same letter sent to Mr. James F. Levy Levy, Malone and Company Des Moines, Iowa eal G. Berlin �-' City Manager IF 3 *city of Iowa Citp MEMORANDUM DATE: June 24, 1977 TO: Neal Berlin, City Manager FROM: Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works / RE: Water supply The general scenario for deficient water supplies in Iowa City might be as follows: 1. Minor deficiency of 500,000 to 1,000,000 gallons per day caused by al The City should use media sources to ask for voluntary cutbacks including lawn watering, car washing, etc. 2. Major water deficiency 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 gallons per day. Steps to be taken are: passage of ordinance prohibiting outside water use, increase in water rates and/or elimination of step decreases in water rates, supply free bricks at City parks, fire stations, and Civic Center for use in water closet tanks. 3. Major disaster with complete loss of all water supplies and numnaee from one and a half million eallons per day deep we Steps to be taken are: cooperatively get the agreements with Coralville to obtain water from their deep wells, further increase in water rates, request that all people outside the city bring water in in bottles from home wells, other towns' wells, etc. for drinking water during the day, making coffee, and other miscellaneous purposes. Emergency construction of pumps to pump sewer water from treatment plant back to the water plant (this would require water testing and further examination to see if this is feasible). The City pumps approximately 4,000,000 gallons per day over a yearly average. It is anticipated that the City's deep well would fail under only the most severe ground water conditions. The deep well is capable of providing a million and a half gallons per day which would be enough to provide for minimum essential needs of drinking water and sanitation. On the other hand peak water usage in Iowa City has been around 8,000,000 gallons per day on very hot summer days. At the present water level water discharge of 75 cubic feet per second it is anticipated that the City can meet this demand. It is also recommended that the City express an interest to the Corps of Engineers in reducing the discharge to 50 or perhaps even 2S cubic feet per second. cc: Gene Dietz Cleo Kron Neal, Roger Tinklenberg would like a copy of it if you wish to transmit it to him.

The power plant people feel that any discharge below SO cubic feet per second in the river would necessitate them shutting down and buying power. Our sewer plant puts back in about 5 million gallons per day or 8 cubic feet per second. There are some discrepancies about the lowest flow in the Iowa River; however, it is believed to be 29 cubic feet per second in 1916; however, USGS points out that since then it has fluctuated between 29 and 35 cubic feet per second 34 times. cc: Gene Dietz Cleo Kron Harry Boren ei City of Iowa cite MEMORANDUM TO: Neal Berlin, City Manager FROM: Bob Bodlin, Asst.

Wellman, Secretary Executive Council State Office Building Des Moines, Iowa 50318 RE: Request for Conveyance of Certain Streets and Alleys Located in Iowa City to the City of Iowa City, Iowa Dear Sir or Madam: on behalf of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, we request that the Executive Council consider and. recawend to the Governor that the Governor issue a patent to the City for certain streets and alleys located in Iowa City. These streets and alleys are more particularly described in Exhibit A as attached to this letter. The basis for our request arises as a result of the rather unique way the City was incorporated and that we are currently involved in an urban renewal program. The City of Iowa City has, since 1965, been planning for and carrying out an urban renewal project. In 1969 the City filed with the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Developaent, an application for a loan and grant to carry out the project. In September, 1970 the contract between the City of Iowa City and the United States providing for a $9,104,550 grant was executed. The applica- tion for loan and grant included a land acquisition plan and budget, a plan for the re -use of the project area, and a land disposition plan. The land use plan called -for vacating'rertain'streets and alleys and the disposition plan called for including certain streets and alleys in parcels of land to be sold for redeveloprent. The land aoguisition plan and budget did not include the pur- chase -of the streets and -alleys -because it'was-believed that the -City held fee simple title to the streets and alleys, arra could pursuant to section 403.6(9) of the Code of Iowa, plan or replan streets, and could vacate and convey such streets or alleys for redevelop ent, pursuant to the urban renewal plan. At this tine a question exists as to whether the City of Iowa City does in fact hold fee simple title to the streets and alleys within the original town. . The basis for this question is set forth in a memorandum attached to this letter as Exhibit B. In order to insure that the City may oonvey clear title to disposi- tion parcels partially oonposed of formes streets or alleys, it is essential that the state take action to convey to the City any interest it may have in certain specific strrpts and alleys. The streets and alleys in question have been combined with other project land to assemble the three primary tracts to be redeveloped within the urban renewal project. The plans for redevelopTent of these three parcels call for integrated, 32s? Executive Council* -2- • June 30, 1977 large-scale development which is impossible unless the City can convey the tracts undivided by streets and alleys. The inability to so market the land would have three serious consequences: A. The overall magnitude and design of the redevelopment will be substantially harned; B. The armunt of real property value returned to the tax rolfs will be substantially reduced; C. The land sales revenues available to repay project indebtedness will be substantially reduced. A land disposition map, which shows the specific streets and alleys in question, is attached to this letter as Exhibit C. It is inportant to the success of the project that clear title to the streets and alleys which would be sold, be obtained immediately. The City is prepared to issue a solicitation of offers to purchase and redevelop land in early July. In order to do so, the City must have assurances that it in fact may convey the streets and alleys for redevelopment. If the state does not take the actions needed to clear the title, a major change in the land disposition plan would have to be filed with HUD, costly delays will result, and other irreparable damage will be done to the project as cited above. Any actions by the City to purchase the land from the State for more than a nominal consideration would require an amendment to the urban renewal plan and acquisition budget, with HUD approval prior to the transaction and costly procedural delays. Further, the federal grant in support of the project was fixed by HUD in 1974, and any additional project costs mast be borne by the City from funds otherwise available to the City. As originally conceived, this urban renewal project was a cooperative effort between the City of Iowa City and the University of Iowa. The project was appropriately named City -University Project One, reflecting the joint interests of the City and the University in the sucoessful accorplishment of this project. The project has already served to benefit the state specifically. The City, as part of the project, acquired 11 parcels of land at a direct cost of $1,040,900. This land was subsequently sold, or contracted for sale to the State of Iowa for the University of Iowa at a cost -of only $443,620. These transactions-provided•a-direct-subsidy, from the project to the State of Iowa of $597,280, to aid University caTrpus expansion. Acting upon the above facts and circumstances, we visited with Ms. Elizabeth Nolan, Assistant Attorney General, Mr. Richard Haesermeyer, Solicitor General, and Mr. Melvin Synhorst, Secretary of State, to discuss what alternatives were available to the City so that it could pursue its urban renewal project. After several discussions, it was the consensus that the City request the Executive Council to approve our request and recomrend to the Governor that the Governor issue a patent for those specific streets and alleys. Authority for conveying said streets and alleys to the City can be found in the federal grant to the state, acts of the territorial legislature, Chapter 10 of the Code of Iowa and Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa. In 1958, the legislature passed an act known as the Urban Renewal law, which sets forth the powers of municipalities and other public bodies for the pur- poses of carrying out urban renewal. This statute can be found in Chapter 403 Executive Council • -3 • June 30, 1977 of the Code of Iowa. Chapter 403 grants broad powers to municipalities to enable them to undertake urban renewal activities. In addition, section 403.12 of the Code grants to "public bodies" (defined in section 403.17 as the "state or any political subdivision thereof") certain powers to aid and assist munici- palities in carrying out urban renewal activities. Among the powers granted by section 403.12 of the Code is the authority to dedicate, sell, convey or lease any of its interest in any property . . , to a municipality, and further provides, "any sale, conveyance, lease or agreement provided far in this section may be made by a public body without appraisal, public notice, advertisement or public bidding." (See section 403.12(lA) and (3)) Thus, the Legislature, through Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa, has authorized the state to convey any interest it may have in the streets and alleys to the municipality in order to assist the successful completion of the urban renewal project. Further authority to allow conveyance of such streets and alleys to the City can be found in the federal government's grant to the territory of Iowa in 5 U.S. Statutes at Large, Chapter 77, page 330, wherein the act provided that "nothing herein expressed shall. be.cons trued to restrain the territory of Iowa, after appropriating a sufficient quantity of land for site and accommodations for the public buildings, from selling and disposing of the residue . . ." The terri- torial legislature on January 21, 1839, provided that the Governor, by proclama- tion, could direct the sale of the residue of the property. See laws of Iowa, 1838 - 39, page 437. In addition, section 10.6 of the Code of Iowa authorizes the Governor when the -Governor is satisfied that the purchase price has been paid by the person to whom the sale has been cede and that a patent had not been issued to the purchaser, to issue a patent signed by him/her and the Secretary of State. Accordingly, the -City -of Iowa City hereby respectfully requests that this issue be considered by the Executive Council at'the earliest possible date. Addition- ally, we request to be notified of the time for such consideration, and would appreciate the opportunity to appear before the Executive Council in order to further explain and clarify _any _questions which members of. -the Executive Council might have.

City Attorney RE: Public Ways and Grounds in original Than, City of Iowa City At your request, .1 have researched the question of whether the City or the State of Iowa holds the legal title to the streets, alleys and public grounds in the original town of Iowa City. The question, as I recall, has been raised in the past but with the oncaning proposed disposal of various parcels of land along with vacated streets and alleys pursuant to the Urban Renewal program, 'has assorted sore inured 'iacy..._. Although there -is no question -that the City has been exerting con, trol over the public ways and grounds in the original town as we have been maintaining, repairing, vacating and selling various public grounds and ways, the—issue arises as a result of the rather udque way'the City" was incorporated. .Briefly, the history of the City's incorporation is as follows: On March 3, 1839, Congress appropriated a section'of land in the Iowa Territory for the seat of government of the Territory of Iowa. There- after the "Council and House of Representatives of the Territory of Iowa" (the Territorial Legislature) designated certain coundssioners to select the site who pursuant thereto prepared a plat dated July 12, 1839. The plat set forth the streets, alleys, squares, reservations and land- ings and further set forth that such areas be for the public use and are to remain as iuch, _" The area in this plat has subsequently and is today referred to as the "Original Tann." As there was no municipal oor- poration existing when the plat was filed, there was of course no formyl acceptance. On January 15, 1841, the Territorial Legislature passed "An Act to Incorporate Iowa City" as a town. This Act was revived in 1842 and again..in 1844. .In 1846,.the Iowa Territory became a state with Iowa City as its capitol. In 1853 the state legislature incorporated Iowa City as a city.-As.part of the powers granted to the City, the City Council was given "the control of the streets and alleys,and public grounds of Iowa City,. " The above series.of events 'although vest- ing control in the'City of the streets and•alleys -inthe Original Town leaves score question as to whether technically legal title of the streets; alleys.and other public grounds passed to the mmicipality. In 1949, the Ioaa-Supreme Court in Carson v. State, 38 N.W.2d (,Iowa 1949) touched on this matter when a dispute arose concerrwng the _. transfer of a park within the Original Town to the State University of Iowa. The case was a class action to quiet title of certain ground as a. City park and to declare a City ordinance purporting ng to grant and an act of the legislature purporting to accept same for the use and benefit of the State University. The Court raised the question of whether tech- nically the legal title of the streets passed to the C t�,but did not resolve it, deciding the case on other -grounds. As a historical footnote, the present Constitution of the State of Iowa in. section 30 of Article III forbids the General Assembly from passing special laws for the incorporation of cities and tams. Based upon the history of the issue, I would recommend that sam action be taken to settle the matter. Perhaps a quit claim deed or a patent from the bards office could be required. 'It is interesting that there was a territorial statute in force during -the incorporation of the City which is similar to our present 9409:13 of the Code of Iowa, which provides that the "certifying, acknowledging and recording of a town plat shall be deemed in law and equity a sufficient conveyance to vest the fee simple.title of all such parcel or parcels of lands, as are expressed, and shall be considered, to all intents and purposes, a general warranty against the donor . . . for the uses and purposes therein named . ."'and that such title "shall be held, in the corporate name thereof, in trust to, and for the uses and purposes set forth . . ." Laws of .1838, page 453. Again, as noted above,' there was no municipal corporation existing when the plat was filed, and thus no formal acceptance by the City. .J� LAND DISPOSITION PLAN WASHINGTON ST F- N uuI Nr__l_" r__" r --"-n i COLLEGq / ST; 0 I� of ST F.

It is a relatively new street and the question was asked as to why it is being overlaid. Councilman Selzer asked about the bridge on Summit Street and whether or not anything can be done to resurface it. The Director of Public Works replied that the problem was that it was resurfaced with blacks of asphalt and they are breaking apart. The civil engineers should look into this. He also mentioned that a work order has been written for repair of the railing on this bridge. Councilman Vevera advised that three trees on Mormon Trek Road, off Bartelt Road, are obscuring vision of drivers. Also on Highland Avenue and Keokuk, vision is obscured by trees. The Director of Parks and Recreation was requested to check into these complaints. The Director of Community Development was requested to send the file on the property at 512 North Gilbert to the City Manager.

The Director of Public Works was advised to get out publicity on what will happen and when. The department heads were asked to check City property to make sure the weeds are cut. The Administrative Assistant will put together the staff's comments on the Council evaluation. These will be tabulated and returned to the department heads and they will be reviewed and the staff will try to reach some consensus on things that are important. The Director of Public Works commented that the evaluation form for the division heads is too complex and too long. The Library Director suggested that the form be shown to employees so that they will know what they will be evaluated on. A suggestion was made that an orientation meeting be held once a month for new employees of the City to acquaint them with City government. The Personnel Specialist advised the staff that holiday and excess vacation time should be used before the end of June.

Councilman Perret will not be present on Monday. Councilman Selzer will be out of town for the rest of this week. The question was raised about whether or not work would be done on the signal at 6/1/218 this summer. The Director of Public Works advised that the plans have been sent to IDOT. This should be mentioned at the informal session on Monday. The City Manager's secretary was requested to set up a meeting to include a member of the legal staff, Glenn Siders, and Doug Boothroy to discuss a building permit for Mr. Hochstetler of 409 Second Avenue. Rev. Welsh complained about the trash in front of Copper Dollar.

The Chief of Police suggested that the City Clerk attach a copy of the ordinance each time a beer or liquor permit is issued. The Area Transportation Study should be added to the pending list. It should be scheduled for discussion at informal session when the Director of Public Works returns from vacation. Councilman Perret brought up the problem created by contractors dumping dirt in streets. The Director of Public Works was asked to remind inspectors to keep after the contractors to get the dirt out of public streets. The Legal staff was requested to prepare a memo to the City Manager regarding City jurisdiction in regard to planned student -run cooperative housing on Grand Avenue Court. The parking lot behind Penneys was briefly discussed. Community Development is to check to determine if lease to Viggo Jensen has expired. If possible, the City could lease the property to him on a month-to-month basis. Some information about office systems review will go out to department heads and other employees who are involved in the office system survey. A meeting will be held next week Wednesday regarding the word processing center. ervivion International ..City:.

The House bill authorizes $80 million with 20 percent earmarked for larger cities and urban counties to reverse the trend at HUD to assume these jurisdictions could fund "701" -type activities out of Community Development Block Grants. The Senate authorization is for $75 million for Fy 78 with no special earmarking. The committee report, however, does distinguish "701" pro- grams from planning under Conmunity Development Grants. 32(� M Both bills have been passed and go to a joint Conference Committee as this Newsle he two versions will be re ed before final passage --probably sometime a ly. BLOCK GRAN The Department of Housing and Urban Development has begun to reject APPLICATIO S applications for Community Development Block Grants that fall to provide REJEC ED - for new housing for low-income families. The rejections are part of HUD's controversial new plan to pressure communities ---both urban and suburban -to offer subsidized housing for families unable to afford the private market. In April, HUD Secretary Harris issued instructions to local regional \ offices Insisting that low-income housing be given priority in dispensing \\ block grants. She directed regional offices to examine "past perfor- mances" of cities to determine their adherence to previous commitments. Some applications for block grants already have been rejected and others have been approved only after amendments have been made to comply with the housing provision. Other local governments have chosen not to apply for the grants. Provision for low-income housing is one of the few general guideline requirements for cities which receive block grants under the 1974 law. This guideline was not enforced until 1976 when Hartford, Conn., sued seven suburban jurisdictions and HUD, claiming they violated the law by not providing low -Income housing. The Federal Courts ordered the block grants withheld. To bolster the effect of this action, especially in large cities and counties where block grant money Is not a large portion of the budget, HUD is considering tying other grants to conditions on housing performance. According to Robert Embry, HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Plan- ning and Development, programs under consideration Include federal highway funds, FHA Financing, and environmental programs.
