RE: BDI - Financing of Improvements by Special Assessment
The City has cooperated with Business Development, Inc., in the financing
of its development for many years. In earlier years, the special assess-
ment process was utilized and more recently a contract between the City and
BDI provided for the financing of sewer and water facilities. However,
since 1970 the Subdivision Code has precluded the use of the special assess-
ment process in the financing of improvements in new subdivisions.
Attached to this memorandum is a proposed ordinance which will amend the
Subdivision Code to permit the special assessment process to be utilized by
"any not-for-profit corporation or association which subdivides a tract of
land for the purpose of encouraging economic development...." This proposal
is recommended by the City Manager as being consistent with the City's past
relationship with BDI, the encouragement of quality economic development,
and the request of BDI of December 7, 1977 (attached).
The ordinance will appear on the agenda of February 28, 1978, for your
consideration.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING A PORTION OF THE SUBDIVISION
CODE, ORDINANCE NO. 2567 (SECTION 9.50.0(4)(h)(4)
OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA)
BY ALLOWING NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WHO SUBDIVIDE
PROPERTY FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENCOURAGING ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT TO PETITION THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE
IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED TO BE INSTALLED BY THE SUB-
DIVISION CODE BE CONSTRUCTED BY THE CITY PURSUANT
TO A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT PROGRAM.
SECTION I. PURPOSE. The purpose of this ordinance is
to provide for the health, safety and general welfare
of the citizens of the City of Iowa City, Iowa by en-
couraging development in Iowa City by allowing for
the construction of improvements called for in the
subdivision code in certain instances by special as-
sessment rather than by requiring their installation
by the developer. This method can only be requested
by non-profit organizations which subdivide property
for the purpose of encouraging economic development
of said tract.
SECTION II. AMENDMENT. Section 9.50.4(D)(4)(h) of
Ordinance No. 2567 Section 9.50.0(4)(h)(4) of the
Municipal Code shall now read as follows:
(4) the above alternatives shall be exclusive and no
subdivision shall be approved unless one of the fore-
going alternatives has been approved and no subdi-
vision shall be approved in which the Developer pro-
poses to request that the City of Iowa City, Iowa
construct said improvement, pursuant to a Special As-
sessment Program, except for the provisions of
9.50.4D(g) as to streets abutting the subdivision
which may be done by assessment method. However,
this provision shall not apply to any not-for-profit
corporation or association which subdivides a tract
of land for the purpose of encouraging economic de-
velopment of the tract. In such instances, upon
petition of Developer and upon approval of the De-
veloper's plans for development of said tract by the
City Council, any improvements required by this Chap-
ter may be constructed by the City pursuant to a
special assessment program.
SECTION III. SEVERABILITY. If any section, provision
or part of the Ordinance shall be adjudged to be in-
valid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall
not affect the validity of the Ordinance as a whole
or any section, provision or part thereof not ad-
judged invalid or unconstitutional.

Attention: Neal Berlin, City Manager
Dear Mr. Berlin:
DEC?_ 1977
aDc1c s TOL U5
CITY CLERIC
In accordance with the November 8, 1977 Board Meeting of BDI, it is my understanding
that Board member, Jim Shive, met with you and City Engineer, Dietz on November 23, 1977
relative to exploring the possibility of City assessment procedures being utilized
for the development of the BDI Second Addition. As a result of that meeting, we
would like to set forth briefly the rational behind this proposal as follows:
I. BDI is a non-profit organization, financed by local donations and bank loans.
DDI historically has held the land and sold the land at cost to the various
industries located in the area. Thus no income accrues to BDI other than
to pay for Its direct expenses and the land is held for future industrial
development.
2. BDI has financial difficulty in financing improvements. The City recognized
this approximately ten (10) years ago when Industrial Park Road was installed
as a special assessment project. Again in 1970, the City recognized the
financing problem and worked with BDI in financing sewage improvements in
this area. In addition, a local contractor (Metro) was willing to take
payments over a ten (10) year period.
3. Installation of Improvements by special assessment proceedings is desired
by BDI for the BDI Second Addition. BDI has submitted a formal assessment
request previously.
4. Installing the improvements (culvert, sewer, paving, etc.) as a City
assessment project would accomplish the following:
a. Provide a positive role by the City as encouraging
industrial development.
b. Does not impair any debt limit on the part of the City.
c. Relieves the City of legal entanglements by a waiver
assessment agreement signed by BDI.
d. Relieves the City of any costs since all costs would be
assessed to the land benefited.
e. Provides financing of the project on a reasonable basis
to ODI, which would then be in a position to make annual
payments.

Amendment to the Uniform Fire Code
DATE: February 15, 1978
With due respect to traditional religious rights and the concern expressed
by those present at the informal Council meeting of February 6, we recommend
that the City Council not amend the Uniform Fire Code to allow the use of
lighted candles held in hand. The Uniform Fire Code was prepared by profes-
sionals in the field of fire and life safety. The Code principally reflects
provisions which resulted from tragic experiences across the country. There
certainly can be no question raised as to the seriousness of the hazard which
hand-held candles.represent.
Of course, the Fire Department will enforce the Code and any amendment to the
best of its ability, justly and fairly.

the preliminary plat of Oakes Meadow Addition. Enclosed is the resolution
which the City Council adopted and a memo from the City Attorney concerning
this matter. The Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council, I

Dear Nancy:
OWA CITY

Recently you mentioned to me that Project GREEN is desirous of developing
Muscatine Avenue from First Avenue to Scott Boulevard with extensive plantings
in the same way it has improved other entrances to the community. In conjunc-
tion with the street improvement plan, the City has provided some tree plant-
ings. However, we would be extremely anxious to work with Project GREEN to
make this entrance to the City another great example of Project GREEN's excel-
lent work.
As we discussed, the City will provide the necessary planting program for
Project GREEN. Road use tax money will be utilized to employ the landscape
planner who will work with the City staff to develop the plan. We also would
expect to consult with Project GREEN during this period.
Project GREEN then will assume responsibility for the acquisition of the planning
materials, the planting, and the maintenance and care of those materials for one
year. Project GREEN also will communicate with the property owners and gain their
approval to make sure that the property owners adjacent to the parkway agree with
the proposed planting plan. Documentation and periodic reporting of the citizen
contacts will be helpful for completeness of our job files.
If you have any questions, please call me.
Sincere yours,
City Manager

cc: City Council
Richard Plastino
P.S. The City will not maintain the parkways in that area. Therefore when you
discuss the plantings with the property owners, you should also obtain their
commitment for future maintenance.

The City of Iowa City has recently acquired the old Post Office for the pur-
pose of renovation and reuse as a multi-purpose Senior Center. Although the
City has assumed total responsibility for the acquisition and renovation of
the structure, it has not yet made the decision whether to limit the use of
the facility to Iowa City elderly residents or to widen the scope of the
program and include all elderly residents of Johnson County.
For your information, the program development activities which have occurred
to date are as follows:
October, 1977 - The City acquired the old Post Office with Community

November, 1977
- The City interviewed and decided to hire the Ebenezer
Center for Aging and Human Development from Minneapolis
as the consultant for this project.
December, 1977
- The consultant (1) gathered and compiled demographic
data about the Johnson County and Iowa City elderly, (2)
reviewed surveys, gathered information about the elderly
population service needs, and (3) interviewed a wide
range of agencies which provide services to the elderly.
January, 1978 -
The consultant submitted a working document on background
information which was compiled with the previous two
months and also prepared a preliminary draft for a senior
center program.
February, 1978
- The Senior Center -Elderly Housinn Task Force (composed
of representatives appointed by the Citic Council, the
Ecumenical Housing Corporation, at-larne representatives
from Iowa City) reviewed the recommendations from the
consultant, as well as those from the elderly and from
the various agencies providing services to the elderly.
A program proposal is presently being prepared for pre-
sentation to the Task Force.

Iowa City Airport
Iowa City, Iowa
February 17, 1978
Mr. Neal Berlin, City Manager
Civic Center
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. Berlin:
The Airport Commission voted unanimously last evening to establish
a commission file at the airport. This file will contain a copy
of commission minutes, and a copy of all contracts in force (FBO
lease, DOT lease, McCrabb lease, farm management agreement, man-
agement contract, consulting contracts, etc.). The old and new
master plans, the FAA rules affecting airports, and pertinent
correspondence will also be filed. A fireproof file cabinet will
be purchased in the near future for this purpose.
The City's copy of each of the above records will of course re-
main at City Hall. Many of the older records that we need are
at City Hall, but some were lost during, a flood a few years ago.
The ones available are not filed in any system that facilitates
easy reference thereto. E.K. Jones has made his copy of records
available upon request, but we do not feel it right to constantly
refer to his files and we will be requesting copies of his records
for our files.
Would you cooperate by having extra copies of any documents dupli-
cated as we request them? We will also want one set of ozalid
prints covering the airport for future reference.
You will note in the minutes that the Commission voted to meet In
the old "Commission Room" at the airport after May 1st, where the
commission file will be kept. Would you please notify your sec-
retary of this so that the public notices for our regular meeting;:.
will list the proper meeting place.
The above moves are not to "assert our independence" as KXIC has
implied, but rather to have all documents that affect the opera-
tion of the airport readily available for all commission members
(4i+ luding new members who want to orient themselves quickly).
By meeting at the airport we will also be able to inspect the
physical facilities at regular intervals; since a large part of
our responsibility involves maintenance and construction, we be-
lieve that more first hand observations will be helpful.

RE: Status report on transit marketing �
In this year's State Transit Grant, $10,000 was allocated
for transit marketing activities.
The Transit Manager is preparing a marketing package that
may include such items as nickel night, rider appreciation
day, free fare Saturday, etc. After a tentative package is
prepared it will be sent to the City Manager and City Council
for perusal.
We believe that to.significantly increase our ridership,
particularly during the midday hours, we are going to have
to try some rather innovative ideas, although most of the
ideas have been tried in other parts of the country.
Essentially, this memo is to advise Council that we will be
departing from our transit marketing programs of the past.
When the proposed package is ready it will be discussed with
Council.

DATE: February 10, yg7B
TO: Neal Berlin and City Council
FROM: Richard J. Plastino, Director of Public Works
RE: Urban Mass Transit Administration Grant 11
In the FY79 Budget the City is utilizing Federal funds to purchase the
following:
Replacement bus
Two-way radios
Replacement automobile
Cambus and Coralville also want to acquire some additional buses and they
would like to participate in the upcoming grant application. Past experience
has shown that UMTA is much more receptive to grant application when they are
coordinated and they will not approve separate applications.
Our contact with UMTA representatives reveals that Iowa City is the only
logical choice to be the lead agency in a joint grant application. The
University, by law,cannot be the lead agency, and Coralville does not have
the personnel or resources to do the job.
The term "lead agency" only means that political body which would sign the
necessary documents. The University of Iowa has indicated they will handle
the actual grant paper work. The Regional Planning Commission has also
offered assistance with the necessary transportation planning documentation.
The City will be able to pick up approximately 2% of the total grant to
cover our acquisition costs for the capital items.
The above arrangements seem to be an extremely equitable arrangement with
the two major agencies, the City and the University contributing substantial
efforts toward the capital items.
It is recommended this item be discussed briefly at an informal meeting to
obtain Council direction.

RE: Policy for Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda
In an effort to make Parks and Recreation Commission meetings
organized, and enjoyable, I am proposing essentially the same
did during his term as Chairperson. The success of this plan

proposed is as follows:

Any item proposed for the consideration of the Parks and Recreation
Commission must be submitted to the Parks and Recreation Director
at least ten (10) days prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting.
The Director and the Chairperson will confer on these submittals
and the appropriate action will be taken.
Except for general comments or complaints, all members of the public
who are making presentations to the Parks and Recreation Commission
will be required to submit a written report explaining the purpose
for their appearance before the Commission and explaining the nature
of any new program or service request being made to the Department.
This report shall be submitted to the Director of Parks and Recreation
at least ten (10) days prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting.
Copies of said report will be included in the regular monthly mailing
to each Commission member. The Director of Parks and Recreation
and the Chairperson will confer on when this presentation can be
placed on an agenda. All attempts will be made to schedule these
submittals at the next meeting.
3. All future presentations made to the Parks and Recreation Commission,
whether by the Staff or by the public, will be limited to a fifteen
(15) minute time period unless permission to present a longer presen-
tation has been obtained from the Chairperson.
No item will be placed on the Parks and Recreation Commission agenda
unless approved by the Chairperson, except for minor items included
in the Parks and Recreation Director's report or the Chairperson's
report. Any individual who has requested that an item be placed on
the Comnission agenda but has been refused by the Chairperson shall
have the right to appeal to the Vice Chairperson, whose decision
shall be final unless overruled by a majority of the Commission
members.
The above policies should not be interpreted as an attempt to limit access to
the Commission's agenda. It is the feeling of this Chairperson that each item
on the agenda deserves equal consideration.

Policy for Commission Agenda
Page 2
January 27, 1978
(,GUAM kAHJ] AIIO JL_ L -
In the past, the Commission has had no prior knowledge of various material
presented at meetings. People presenting material were not prepared to distri-
bute written reports covering the subject or request(s) being presented. This
has resulted in requests for more information to be presented at future meetings.
This has been time consuming for the presenter, the Staff, and the Commission
members.
It is the intent of this Chairperson to present each Commission member the
opportunity to be prepared for each item on the agenda. Hopefully, the result
will be that each item is covered within the allotted time and to the satis-
faction of the Commission. Preventing last minute or unprepared presentations
from being compressed into the agenda will ensure that everyone has an equal
opportunity to be heard by the Commission.

Gentlemen:
Application for Section 8 Existing
The attached application for fifty-one (51) units is submitted for consideration.
In addition to the information contained on the application and with previous
approved applications the following items are submitted for consideration.
a. Upon approval, request the fiscal year be consistent with present
program. Start on July 1, 1978. Request for Revised blaster Section 8 ACC
and budget forms will be submitted at the appropriate time.
b. Attached application includes a request to utilize 25 units of
recently completed units. In accordance with CFR 24 Section 882.120 approval
may be granted to PHA's for use of Existing Housing units at the higher Fair
Market Rents as authorized by para (b) of this section of 752 of Section 8
New Construction, plus 10E, for recently completed units (available for occupancy
no more than six years prior to date of leasing).
The Housing needs of Lower -Income Families in the area cannot be fully addressed
by use of Existing Housing at Existing Fair Market Rents because,
(1) the vacancy rate is inadequate. Most recent data available indicates rental
unit vacancy rate at .982.
(2) Lack of availability of 'appropriate units. The Housing Stock has changed
dramatically in the past ten years. The 1970 Census provides this data pertaining
to renter occupied units and year structure was built.

1970 through December 1976 show 2,128 units in duplex/multi-family structures. It
is assumed that all these units became available by the end of 1977. With these
actions then the housing stock is more accurately reflected as follows:
Prior
to 1945
2678 units
or
29.88%
1945
to 1959
990

or
35.33%
1970
through 1976
2128
or
23.74%
8962 units
or
100%
During the period 1970 through 1976 about 300 new units per year became available
for occupancy. Therefore there will be approximately 1800 units in the City
that would qualify as recently completed units. Approval of the request
for 25 units in recently completed structures at the higher FMR will increase
the choice of units available for occupancy by qualified applicants. Some
application are on file fran qualified families that are now living in this type
unit. Further, of the few units that are vacant, many are in the higher rent range
and in structures qualifying as recently ccirpleted.
Your thorough consideration of the above data in evaluating the application for
fifty-one (51) units will be appreciated. If additional information is renuired,
please do not hesitate to call upon me or the City Staff.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Vevera

FROM: Michael E. Kucharzak, Director, Housing F, Inspection Services
RE: Reallocation of Community Development Dollars
May this memo serve to initiate the reallocation process as approved by the
previous Council in December.
Specifically, the reallocation of dollars is intended to provide more rehab-
ilitation assistance to the owner occupied single family homeowner who is
elderly or disabled.
This can be accomplished by transferring Rehab I loan dollars to the Rehabil-
itation Grant and Rehabilitation Forgivable Loan Program. The Council gave us
permission to transfer these funds in December however, we wanted to wait until
this time to see what the actual case load was going to be.
To accomplish the goals as established by the previous Council of giving first
priority for CD dollars to elderly and disabled owner occupied residents we
plan to immediately perform the following:
Remove $150,000 from the Rehab I Loan Program.
Add $75,000 to the Rehabilitation Grant Program.
Add $75,000 to the Forgivable Loan Program.
By making the above allocation we will accomplish the goals as set forth by
the Council when they established the Community Development Program at the
beginning of this fiscal year. It should be noted that when I made my formal
presentation to the Council in December that I stressed the need for the elderly
having first chance at the Rehabilitation dollars however, when I asked for
permission to transfer the dollars I used the term Forgivable Loan when
I should have said Forgivable Loan and Rehabilitation Grants. The allocation
of funds as indicated above not only accomplishes the goals of the Council but
also corrects my error in the presentation of December.
Your support of this distribution is greatly appreciated.

TO: Dennis Kraft, Director of Community Development
FROM: Bill Keating, Assistant Planner
RE: Northside Neighborhood Preservation Study - Monthly Status Report
Work is now progressing on revising the three preliminary reports which have already
been presented to Council, and the Planning and Zoning Commission. The fourth of
the preliminary reports, The Land Use Regulation and Administration Report, has been
presented to Planning and Zoning and is scheduled for Council presentation on Monday,
February 12. Revisions of that report will begin as soon as all Council, P & Z, and
staff reports have been assembled. These reports should be completed in final form
by the end of April, with release and formal presentations during the month of May.
A series of technical background reports will also be finalized during the next few
months. These reports will be combined to form a single "Impact Evaluation Handbook"
containing methodologies, performance standards and other technical information
pertinent to the impact evaluation approach.
A third group of reports dealing with topics such as community facilities, neighborhood
self-help, etc., are also being finalized at this time. Doug Lee has informed me
that the last two groups of reports will not be presented to Council or P F, Z on the
same basis as the preliminary reports have to date, rather they will be included in
the final project report.

RE1 Monthly Report - Transit
In January Iowa City Transit carried over 150,000
passengers - the second highest monthly total ever.
Ridership was up consistently, and on ten days at the
end of the month exceeded 7000 passengers per day.
Evening service got off to a slow start due to the
Christmas holidays, but by the end of the month patronage
on weeknights was consistently over 300.
Four new employees were hired during January. Three
replaced drivers who had resigned at the end of the fall
semester, and the fourth is a temporary employee hired for
the remainder of the winter "crunch".
Because of the delay in hiring, Iowa City Transit
was operating on a day-to-day basis for most of the month.
Consequently, the Transit Manager and the Senior Driver
were both called upon to driver on numerous occasions,
and much of the administrative work was set aside. While
the buses kept rolling, very little else was accomplished.
One additional run was put on during January --the
Lakeside Express - West Side Shuttle. This route was
planned for implementation November 28th, but a major
accident with one of our buses forced its postponement
until that bus could be restored to service. To date this
"tripper" has been mildly successful, and a small time
change in the morning should further improve ridership.

Monthly Report
POLICE DEPARTMENT
January, 1978
Citizen generated requests for police services totaled 2,056
for the first month of the year. Automobile accidents number 284
probably attributable to frequent snowfalls and icy streets.
(Because of a new reporting system, accidents, as well as some
other statistics will not be recorded by finite type, but by
general classification only.) The largest number of requests
for service were recorded for: Larceny (103); Vandalism (66);
Disorderly Conduct (75); Auto Accidents (284); Alarms ----mainly
false (142); Assists and Service (418); and Parking (270). A
total of 237 arrests were effected on citations issued for traffic
violations, with the bulk of these arising from traffic accidents.
Trying to keep the streets clear for snow removal; the ticketing
of abandoned and street stored vehicles led to cars being towed
and impounded following ticketing. In the aggregate tickets and
arrests totaled 2,941.
Detectives were assigned thirty-three new cases for investigation
during January. A total of twenty cases were cleared by arrest
or investigation.
Animal Control complaints were up slightly from the same period
of a year ago. Animal Control Officers received 131 requests for
service, while the Police Department received forty-three additional
dog and cat calls. The need for a continued high level of enforce-
ment of the animal control laws is emphasized by the fact that
six cases of serious dog bites were investigated by the Division.
Talks continued with representatives of Johnson County in an
attempt to work out a comprehensive animal control program mutually
acceptable to both governments.
Statistical reports are attached.
Kevin Prestegard of Platteville, Wisconsin was hired as a pro-
bationary officer on January 3, 1978. He is presently attending
the Law Enforcement Academy at Camp Dodge.
Civil Service entrance tests for the Police Department were ad-
ministered on January 13, 1978. The early date of testing marks
the first time in the recent past that the certified list of
applicants was exhausted in less than a calendar year. One new
Alcohol Countermeasures Program became active during the month.

CITY -UNIVERSITY MEETING
JANUARY 19, 1918
(EUA RAI'lU; ANO iJL
PERSONS PRESENT: Richard Gibson, Dennis Kraft, Ray Mossman, Rosemary Vitosh
Urban Renewal:
Mossman reported that it was his understanding from Bill Trease that the
proposed contract for the purchase of the remaining property on South Madison
Street is in order so far as Paul Glaves is concerned, with exception of adding
reference to amendments that have been made to the urban renewal plan since the
last contract. Glaves has indicated that the contract will be brought before
the Council after demolition of the property.
It was indicated that a contract with Carl Walker & Associates for work on
the parking ramp will be considered by the Council at its next meeting.
The City is proceeding with its plans on the parking ramp, and the City and
the University are in a holding pattern so far as further consideration of
detailed planning on Washington and Capitol Streets until such time as Old Capitol
is further along with its plans.
Comprehensive Plan:
Kraft reported that a draft has been prepared and approved by the Comprehensive
Planning Coordinating Committee and that some 25,000 copies will be printed and
distributed to each Iowa City household in the near future. There will be a
series of five public meetings held the week of February 13 concerning the plan.
Hopefully, the plan and the zoning ordinance will be before the Council no later
than its May 2 meeting.

River Corridor Sewer:
Mossman reported that he had talked with Gene Dietz earlier in the week and
that all proposed routings have been agreed to by the University. Dietz stated
that hopefully Veenstra 6 Kim will have final plans and specifications to the
City by the end of January. The University will be furnished a set of these
plans and will be able to review them concurrently with the City. After these
plans are received and reviewed, more consideration will be given to informa-
tional sessions for various University groups.
Rosemary Vitosh reported that if Federal funding is not available to `
finance a portion of the project it may be necessary to sell bonds to finance
a portion of the project. It would be anticipated that general obligation bonds
would be sold because of the more favorable interest rates that would be avail-
able, and the debt service payments would be abated by sewer service revenue.
The beautification of the area around the Iowa City Water Plant:
Gibson reported that funds have been made available for planning improve-
ments of the area between North Hall and Bloomington Street and Capitol and the
east side of the Water Plant. Planning for the project is in process.
Parking on Melrose Avenue east of Byington Street:
No change
Cost sharing on the treatment of sewage sludge:
All necessary agreements concerning this matter have been reached, and the
City is in the process of billing the University in accordance with those agree-
ments.
Iowa Avenue Bridge Splash Guards:
The City has requested that the possibility of such an installation be
further investigated.
