SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTION TAKEN; reported by
G.G. Bleckwenn.
Chairman Peterson called the meeting to order at 7:90 p.m.
Chairman Peterson read minutes of August 18, 1977, meeting.
Commissioner Perkins moved and Commissioner Phipps seconded
the approval of the August minutes. Motion carried.
Peterson informed the other members that the FAA had con-
t:ar_ted the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission about
the Airport Commission's application for a grant to help
Iowa City fund an Airport Master Plan Study. Commission
members voiced concern about City Council member Carol
deProsse's statements concerning the proposed Airport Master
Plan Study. Peterson's written response to these statements
was received by all commissioners present. Peterson discussed
the purpose of the proposed study with Emil Brandt, Executive
Director of the JCRPC at the meeting of the Johnson -Linn
County Regional Planning Commission in Cedar Rapids on Sep-
tember 8, 1977. Mr. Brandt requested that Peterson and other
Airport Commissioners attend the September 21st meeting of
the JCRPC at 7:30 p.m, at the First Christian Church in Iowa
City. -Peterson will attend this meeting. Peterson gave a
copy of the "description of work program" for the proposed
study to the JCRPC and will give another to the City Council
via the office of City Manager Neal Berlin.
The request from Neal Berlin to explain how the proposed
Airport Master Plan Study fits into Jonson County and Iowa
City planning at the City Council meeting of September 26,
1977, has been moved back to the October 17, 1977, City
Council meeting. Date change initiated by office of City
Manager.
Perkins initiated discussion on the letter concerning ser-
vices to the Airport supplied by the other departments of
Iowa City. Letter written by Neal Berlin. General concur-
rence was voiced on the proposed set-up put forth in the letter.
Bleckwenn questioned the charges for equipment, as it is his
understanding that some airport property, such as a snow
plow, had been given to the street department in the past
with the understanding the airport would have its runways
plowed by the street department and it in turn would have
use of the equipment on streets. Some other equipment may
also be involved. This should be squared away. Bleckwenn

also questioned how a situation would be handled if a snow
plow borrowed from the street department malfunctioned
while being used by the airport Manager due not to his
neglect or misuse, but due to prior wear and tear or misuse
by the street department or lack of maintenance? Who would
be charged for what, and who would be liable Cor damage to
persons and/or property?
A short discussion was held on a tentative proposal by Chuck
Johnston to build a 9 -unit tee hangar on Airport property
with the Airport to receive ownership after a set period of
time.
The Airport Manager presented the bills for September.
Perkins questioned the $539.00 fire policy premium due to
Russ Mishak Agency. The seemingly high amount could not be
explained. Perkins moved and Phipps seconded the payment of
all bills presented, except the insurance bull. Motion car-
ried. The airport manager will check with Mel Jones of the
City Finance Department on the insurance premium.
Perkins initiated discussion on the need to get started on
planning for an additional set of tee hangars. The need for
such hangars was concurred upon, but the general concensus
was to wait and see if the master plan study materializes
before action is taken.
Phipps reported on the Cedar Rapids meeting of the J-LCRPC
which was attended by Commissioners Peterson, Phipps and
E.K. Jones, Jr. The planners' recommendation is to have
Cedar Rapids Airport stay as is, a utility airport for the
Marion area, and Iowa City to upgrade to a basic transport
airport. The planner for the J-LCRPC was pleased that Iowa
City was trying to set up its own "specific needs" Airport
Master Plan Study, as the J-LCRPC study is general in nature.
General discussion of previous and following matters:
(1) Perkins will contact Bob Schwab about removing the sign
at the airport entrance; this would be done to enhance the
entrance to the airport. (2) Peterson will contact the City
about trimming the trees along the airport entrance drive.
Perkins moved for adjournment, Bleckwenn seconded. Motion
carr.
ed. 9:00 p.m.
Next Commission meeting scheduled for October 20, 1977, at
7:30 p.m. in the City Manager's Conference Room, Civic
Center.

MEETING DISCUSSION:
1. In the absence of the Chairman, Mrs. Vann conducted the meeting.
It was moved by Hall and seconded by Pecina to approve the minutes of the
September 6 meeting. Motion carried.
2. Mrs. Vann reviewed the reasons why CDBG funds are available in Iowa City and
what we've done during the past three years of funding. To summarize, Iowa City
was awarded 8 million dollars of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds
to spend over a five year period on community development programs, such as
completing the Urban Renewal program successfully and developing a neighborhood
improvement program. Each year the City Council determines which programs
will have the most beneficial impact in Iowa City and directs the staff to
prepare a CDBG application stating goals and objectives for those projects.
This application is then submitted to 4UD for approval before the program year
begins.
During the first three years, the programs funded included:. Housing Rehabili-.
tation, Code Enforcement, Ralston Creek Flood Control, Neighborhood Site
Improvements, and the Senior Center.
She also emphasized that CCN's role in the CDBG application process is to gather
citizen comments on these existing programs as well as those new programs
suggested at the public meetings and then to forward their recommendations to
City Council for consideration. She reminded committee members that last year
the Council hardly altered the CCN proposed CDBG program before it was submitted
to HUD. Therefore she feels that CCN does play an important role in the decision
making process.
3. Jim Leighton, Housing Rehabilitation Supervisor, presented an update on the
Housing Rehabilitation program. lie explained that the Rehab Program is currently
using grants of up to $5,000; forgiveable loans of an additional $5,000; and
no -interest loans.
His request for 4th year funding for the Housing Rehabilitation Program is for
j $172,200.

4. Bruce Burke, housing Inspector, updated the Housing Code Enforcement Program.
Mr. Burke explained how the program was initiated and planned during its first
year of funding, as well as the activities carried out in the second year's
funding.
His request for funding is $91,000 for the Minimum Housing Code Enforcement
Program.
(See attached summary for more detailed information.)
S. Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works, explained the progress made thus far
on the Ralston Creek Project. The four stages in the project are:
a. Passage of the Stormwater Management Ordinance
b. Interim Projects
c. Scott Boulevard and Hickory Hill detention structures
d. Other
Mr. Plastino further explained that the Interim Projects are fully funded and work
is expected to start this month; the Stormwater Management Ordinance was adopted
by the City Council and that implementation costs are in effect funded by the
private sector; the Scott Boulevard detention structure, planned to control the
watershed coming into Iowa City via the southern branch of Ralston Creek, is to
be funded with proceeds from Urban Renewal land sale; the two Hickory Hill
detention structures, planned to control the watershed coming into Iowa City via
the northern branch of Ralston Creek, are not yet funded and the estimated con-
struction cost of them is $800,000.
His funding request is for the $800,000 necessary for the Hickory Hili deLenLiun
structures.
6. Sue Sheets, Redevelopment Specialist, presented a progress report on the
Neighborhood Site Improvements Program. She explained that the first of these
improvements, for the Longfellow School area, would be started this month, with
all improvements expected to be completed by May of 1978. Other neighborhoods
will be involved in a similar program this spring, so all CDBG funds currently
available will be committed by June 30.
Her funding request is for $190,000 from the 4th year grant.
(See attached summary sheets for more details.)
7. Julie Vann, CDBG Program Coordinator, briefed the committee on programs for the
handicapped and elderly. The Post Office structure has been acquired to be
developed into a multi-purpose senior center. One million dollars will probably
be needed to develop the existing structure into a successfully designed, pro-
grammed, and rehabilitated facility to meet the needs of our senior citizens.
�,..' Although the staff plans seek funding from all known local, state and federal
sources, the available CDBG funds are the only currently known source of
-- $500,000-750,000 of structure rehabilitation funds.

PROJECT NAME: Housing Code Enforcement Program
First Year Activities (July 1, 1975, to June 30, 1976)
Planning; initial and follow-up inspections in Area A.
Received FY 76 a Block Grant allocation of $50,000.
During the first year of H.C.D.A. funding (FY 76), areas for
inspection were delineated and maps were drawn of these areas.
Initial area designations were based upon the extent and type
of blight as indicated by an exterior building condition survey
included in the Community Renewal Program final report
(July, 1971). Delays in hiring two qualified housing inspectors
postponed program implementation until January, 1976. }caving
hired and trained two staff members, the code enforcement
procedures were implemented in mid-February of 1976.

NEIGHBORHOOD SITE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM $190,000
Background:
The federal government requires that site improvements be carried out in conjunction
with housing rehabilitation programs. While the housing rehabilitation program serves
to upgrade the community's housing stock, the site improvements program upgrades
sidewalks, alleys, etc. throughout a neighborhood in order to revitalize the entire
neighborhood environment.
First through Third Year Activities:
The site improvements program was not fully developed until the end of the second
year of block grant activities. Since May 1977, significant progress has been
made. Several neighborhood meetings have been held with residents of Rehab Area II
in the Longfellow School neighborhood. From these meetings citizens' comments were
organized into project proposals which were submitted to the City Council and
approved for funding. The first of these proposals will be implemented by the end
of October. All of the projects will be completed in this area by May 1978 and the
neighborhood site improvement program will be initiated in other older neighborhoods
of Iowa City.
Fourth Year Activities
The program has been soundly developed and a great amount of interest has been ex-
pressed by residents of other neighborhoods in Iowa City. Fourth year activities
1 will involve project activity in the Rehab Area I first (Washington, Market, Gilbert
and Governor Streets), then will spread to adjacent neighborhoods. The same process
of citizen participation will be followed in each designated neighborhood.
The completion of the exterior housing survey has been a great help in planning for
future projects. It appears that at least 8 more neighborhoods will be designated
for the site improvements rLgr In eider rn contin:e plans and expectations for
P p --o---•
neighborhood improvements a sizable budget is needed during the fourth CDBG year.
It appears that $190,000 originally allocated will fund improvements for only 4
neighborhoods, therefore, an additional $190,000 is needed to ensure that all
neighborhoods within the 401 planning area receive equal consideration.
REQUEST FUNDING OF $190,000 FROM FOURTH YEAR CDBG FUNDS
Data
Sheet Senior Center'
Project Xoal: To develop a community center for senior citizens and to coordinate
programs, activities and services to meet their needs in one
convenient, readily accessible location.
Project Description: The City of Iowa City proposes to buy and remodel the vacant
post office located at the corner of Washington and Linn Streets into
a multipurpose senior center and to facilitate the development of an
attached senior citizen housing structure to be constructed on the
site immediately east of the old post office. The proposed housing
will not be developed by the city and will be a high rise structure
containing as many as 100 units.
Area and Persons to be Served: The senior center will be a focal point for activities
of and services for Iowa City senior citizens. The facility and
services will be designed to provide accessibility to physically
handicapped senior citizens. Programs and services will be available
for persons of all income levels and educational and social back-
grounds.
According to a 1974 special census, Iowa City had a population of
47,744, of which 6.3% (or 3,008) were over 60 years of age. A large
percentage of the senior citizens reside in older neighborhoods
near the downtown area. The former post office structure is in an
excellent location, both from the standpoint of direct access for
the mobile elderly population and its proximity to central business
services which abound in the area around the site.
Relationship to Other City Activities: The City of Iowa City currently does not own
or operate a facility solely for use by senior citizens. However,
the Community Recreation Center does plan and supervise recreation
and social activities for this special population group (i.e., a
Golden Age Club, scheduled exercise programs, trips, and other
parties and gatherings -- totaling four or more activities per week)
and the Public Library does provide books, literature, films, and
meeting rooms for all age groups including elderly and in addition
special order large print materials are available and a mail service
has been developed for shut-ins.
The new proposed senior center would provide a wide range of social,
recreational, and educational opportunities to senior citizens.
Currently provided recreation and library services would be coordinated
with other activities in one accessible location.
Environmental Impact: The impact on the surrounding environment has been analyzed,
and no significant negative effects have been noted.
Areas investigated include topography and other natural features,
water run-off, water pollution, air pollution, animal habitat,
vegetation, traffic, energy requirements, relocation, support
services and affect on historical or cultural assets.
There will be some dust and noiso during construction and an increase
in parking demand. To minimize adverse impact, steps will be taken
to assure adequate parking for users of the center and inhabitants
of the apartment complex.
Estimated Cost Summary:
Real Property Acquisition $ 250,000
Rehabilitation Costs 1,047,000
Total $1,297,000
Operating Costs $ 110,000 per year
Estimated Cost Breakdown:
Rehabilitation Costs
All interior remodeling and redecorating $ 780,000
except elevator installation and heating -
cooling equipment
Elevator 130,000
New roof, all new construction such as 70,000
ramps, loading docks, exterior surface work,
window repair, etc.
Heating and cooling equipment (venting and 52,000
pipes included in remodeling estimate)
Extra cost of commercial kitchen 15,000
Total $1,047,000
Square foot cost for 27,800 square feet $ 37.66
The figure of $780,000 was reached by taking a $600,000 estimate made by a local
contractor which was given in 1975 and increasing it by 30% for inflation which has
occurred since then. A local architectural firm estimated that elevator installation
costs would range from $110,000 to $150,000. City staff arbitrarily chose a figure
of $130,000. City staff also estimated exterior work costs and the figure used for
heating and cooling equipment using standard construction cost publications. The
extra cost for the commercial kitchen was added to assure additional funds for
increased kitchen space.
Operating Expenses
Staff
Materials
Utilities, maintenance and repair
$ 72,000
20,000
18,000
Total $ 110,000
A portion of the operating costs will be offset by rents received from the apartment
complex for use of the senior center facilities. Additional revenues may be received
from rental of office space to various social service agencies.
Other Comments: Although the project has a lot of community support, the City
Council will be assuming the leadership role by acquiring the Post Office for
use as a senior center. In this leadership role, citizens will probably
expect the city to provide both the 1 to 114 million dollar physical structure,
and also the management support necessary to make the center successful. In
acquiring the Post Office structure the Council is establishing a new city
policy in relationship to providing services for senior citizens.
The Council should be advised that current zoning regulations for a CB district
would allow a maximum of 42 units in the adjoining apartment complex. This
density is possible only if one owner holds title to the entire post office lot.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
7'ho Iowa City Riverfront. Commission met in Regular Session on October 19
with Chairperston Fahr presiding. There was not a quorum.
Jean Lloyd -Jones was present to report on the formation of a non-profit
corporation to protect and preserve open space tqithin Johnson County
for public use. The purpose of such a group would be the preservation
of natural arcas and historical and scenic sites within the County
and to educate the public about our natural resources. She indicated
that the group would be able to receive in trust or purchase land for
preservation. She indicated that the group would he a non-profit
organization with a board of directors and a broad -haled membership.
She also stated that the corporation would not necessarily keep :111
land acquired and that it could give or sell the land to government
agencius . Ms. Lloyd -Jones reported that formation of such a group
was underway and the Commission members present expressed an interest
in being kept informed as to its progress.
Fahr reported that he, Epley, and Vetter had met with the Johnson
County Board of Supervisors and with the Coralville City Council. (loth
meetings were informational regarding the Riverfront Commission and
its goals. Cooperation between agencies was stressed as well as the
idea of the river as a common resource.
Fahr also reported that the Coralville power dam was discussed it
the Coralvillc City Council meeting on October 18. Safety issues
were discussed as well as which agency should have the responsibility
of maintenance of the walkway and dam and whether or not the dam should
be removed. Fahr stated his feeling that the dam was not in that bad
of condition and that the walkway could be repaired. Ile reported
that the City of Coralville did not want the responsibility of
maintenance of the dam, but might be willing to share in the cost
of maintenance of the walkway.
Action on appointments tothe Waste Water Facilities Committee and the
Land Use and Water Resources Committee was deferred until the next
meeting of the Commission.
Fahr then distributed a memo from Milkman regarding funding foi
