Comment: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular
meeting held on October 19, 1978, recommended by a four to
zero vote and one abstention approval of the subject request
to rezone a four -acre tract located at the northwest corner
of N. Dodge Street and N. Dubuque Road. This is an applica-
tian which was submitted approximately two years ago and
which the Commission failed to recommend approval of by a
three to three vote. Their decision to reconsider and recom-
mend approval of the request was based on the following
factors: (a) the results of a trade area analysis prepared
by the staff of north Iowa City (attached to the agenda
of October 31, 1978), (b) failure of the City Council to
approve by an extraordinary majority vote rezoning of the
subject property to an R3 zone contemplated in the moratorium
rezoning; and (c) the desire of Hy -Vee Food Stores Inc. to
construct a 20,000 square foot supermarket on the property
presently zoned CH. Second consideration by the City Coun-
cil of this item was deferred on December 5, 1978, to
January 9, 1979.

tures affixed to the plat. This recommendation is consistent
with a staff recommendation presented In a staff report
dated December 21, 1978, which is attached to this agenda.
A resolution for consideration of the item will be pre-
sented for consideration at the next regular meeting pend-
ing resolution of the contingencies noted above.
I. Consider a recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commis-
sion regarding the preliminary planned area development plan
and plat of Court Hill -Scott Boulevard, Part 7. S-7836
Comment: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular
meeting held on November. 2, 1978, recommended by unanimous
vote denial of the subject addition located northeast of
Amhurst Street and west of Scott Boulevard. This item was
considered by the City Council at their informal meeting
held November 14, 1978. At that time the applicant requested
that the Council refer the application back to the Planning
and Zoning Commission for reconsideration. It is at the
request of both the applicant and the Planning and Zoning
Commission that the staff has placed this item on the Coun-
cil agenda. The Planning and Zoning Commission is expected
to take action at their regular meeting to be held on Jan-
uary 4, 1979, and their recommendation will be presented at
the informal meeting on January 8, 1979. J

I Item No. 14 - CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO ENTER INTO AGREEMENT
WITH STANLEY CONSULTANTS FOR DESIGN AND INSPECTION SERVICES FOR
A STORM WATER DETENTION STRUCTURE ON THE NORTH BRANCH OF RALSTON
— CREEK.
Comment: This agreement is identical to the one recently negotiated on
the south branch of Ralston Creek and provides for a design phase,
a bidding and construction phase, additional services of a con-
a«ltant, property acquisition, and property survey. The contract
amounts were determined by agreeing on a number of hours to per-
form each function and multiplying this times the hourly rate.
The preliminary and final design "not to exceed" is $60,400, the
bidding and construction phase is $11,500 and the property ac-
quisition phase is $14,400. The other two phases of the project,
Additional Services of the Consultant and Property Survey, are
undefined at this point and have no fee structure. It is an-
ticipated that design and property acquisition will occur before
the summer of 1980 and construction of the structure will occur
in the summer of 1980. All environmental processes on this
project have been satisfactorily completed;

Item. No. 16 - CONSIDER RESOLUTION APPROVING "SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT
FOR TECHNICAL SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF IOWA CITY AND VEENSTRA
KIMM" FOR THE RIVER CORRIDOR SEWERS PROJECT.
Comment: This resolution would authorize the Mayor to execute an amendment
to the engineering agreement providing for inspection and con-
tract supervision of the Corridor Sewers Project. The not to
exceed fee Is $284,422 for all phases of their work during the
contract period. The City's share will be 20%, the balance com-
ing from Federal (EPA) and State (IDEQ) sources. EPA and IDEA
have already pre -approved the content and fee schedule for this
amendment. The execution of this amendment is one of many pre-
requlBltes for approval of the overall project.

Item No. 17 - CONSIDER RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN PLANS FOR
REDEVELOPMENT ON URBAN RENEWAL PARCEL(S) 102-3,4.
Comment: The First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Iowa City has
submitted preliminary design plans for the improvements to be
constructed on Urban Renewal parcels 102-3,4. These plane have
been reviewed by the staff and were reviewed by the Design Re-
view Committee at its meeting of December 13, 1978. The plans
were approved 6-0 by the Design Review Committee, A resolution
aporoving the preliminary design plans is included on the agenda
f -..* the Council meeting of ,January 9, 1979. Attachment "A" to
this resolution reserves the right to re -review the site plan
In its entirety. The affect of the resolution will be to ap-
prove the design of the building but because the site plan will
require extensive revision, the staff recommends a complete
reservation on the site plan.

Item No. 18 - CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING TRE CITY MANAGER TO SETTLE CLAIMS
UP TO $10,000 AND AUTHORIZING THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT TO SETTLE,
7/7_/•G CLAIMS UP TO 52;00Q._ �%3,0"n
Comment: In the past, the City had insurance with a $1,000 deductible for
a wide variety of claims. Therefore the Legal Department handled
only those claims up to $1,000. Since this is no longer the case,
it would seem reasonable to establish a policy whereby the Legal
A)EW k&o _ Department has authority to negotiate and settle claims up to
a set figure and the Legal Department with the approval of the
a^ ?f City Manager has authority to settle claims up to a higher figure.
3,o ap Since the City Manager is authorized to execute contracts and
sign waivers up to $10,000 he suggested that this would be a
reasonable sum for the settlement of claims as well. Since the
majority of claims are under $1,000, 1t would be more efficient
to allow the Legal Department to settle all claims up to $2,000
independ^^ent y.

Item No. 19 - CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CERTAIN CITY EMPLOYEES TO EXECUTE
CLAIM RELEASES.
/ Comment: The City must release parties when they pay claims for money
damages the City has against them, e.g., negligent damage done
to City vehicle. There has been some confusion as to who should
sign such releases for the City, and this resolution would es-
tablish a procedure.
