Item No. 6

CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE TO REPEAL THE ELECTION PROCEDURES IN ARTICLE III
OF THE HOME RULE CHARTER FOR THE CITY OF IOWA CITY IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE
INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN ARTICLE III OF THE HOME RULE CHARTER AND CHAPTER
376, CITY ELECTIONS OF THE 1977 IOWA CODE (Passed and adopted).
Chapter 376, City Elections of the 1977 Iowa Code, provides detailed
procedures for municipal elections. There are inconsistencies between
the Charter and the Iowa Code regarding the time of filing petitions, the
percentage of signatures required, and certain definitions. Section
364.6 states: "A city shall substantially comply with a procedure
established by a state law for exercising a city power. If a procedure
is not established by state law, a city may determine its own procedure
for exercising the power," In Chapter 376, the state legislature has
established the procedure for city elections; therefore, we may not have
inconsistent provisions in our Charter. It seems preferable to eliminate
Article III of the Charter rather than to amend it to be consistent with
Chapter 376 of the Iowa Code because the legislature may make frequent
amendments. The City Attorney, City Clerk and City Manager recommend
this change.

ADDITION, PART 5, WITH THE FOLLOWING CONTINGENCIES: (See Comment)
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular meeting held on July 21,

Commission for their recommendation on the proposed extension of 7th

sion's recommendations with the City Council at the informal meeting on

CONSIDER RESOLUTION AMENDING SALARIES AND COMPENSATION FOR CLASSIFIED
PERSONNEL, RESOLUTION NO. 77-215, AND PROVIDING FOR VARIOUS POSITION

Comment: The duties and responsibilities of the Buyer and Senior Construction
Inspector have been reviewed. The results of the review and a salary
survey for the positions indicate this reclassification is necessary
to reflect current responsibilities and market rate. The pay range
for the Police Chief is adjusted to reflect the salary of the employee
currently in the position.

Item No. 14
CONSIDER RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENT TO SEWER SYSTEM EVALUATION SURVEY
CONTRACT.
Comment:
This resolution would authorize the Mayor to execute a third amendment to
the agreement with Veenstra & Kimm for the Sanitary Sewer Evaluation
Survey (SSES). This amendment would extend the flow monitoring phase of
the survey. Currently, the flow monitoring would have ceased in mid-August.
This amendment will allow flow monitoring to continue for 3 more months
which will produce more meaningful information since rainfall has been
increasing dramatically. Public Works recommends adoption of the resolution
which would have a not -to -exceed figure of $20,165.00. This will raise
the total not -to -exceed figure to $236,053.00 with 80% State and Federal
funding for the phases of the SSES currently funded by EPA. This amendment
will be contingent on receiving approval from EPA. Public Works recommends
adoption of this resolution.
