City Attorney. -D- ITEM NO. 8 - RECOMMENDATIONS OF BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. a. Consider recommendations of the Committee on Community Needs: (1) Consider a recommendation to endorse the proposed affordable housing project on First Avenue. Comment: At their January 17, 1989, meeting, CCN members reviewed the recently published Lower Income Home Ownership Needs and Options Study. CCN expressed support for the City's endeavor to i increase the availability of affordable housing. Although no action is requested at this time, Council will be asked to approve the housing project at a later date. (2) Consider a recommendation to approve the policy to attach a certificate of security interest to manufactured homes receiving housing rehabilitation assistance. I Comment: CDBG staff indicated to CCN that the housing rehabilitation program has experienced several requests from residents living in mobile homes. A discussion regarding the policy to place a lien on the mobile home through a certificate of security interest is contained in the January 17, 1989, CCN minutes. Action on the policy will be included in the next update of the Housing Rehabilitation Manual. Agenda Iowa City City Council February 21, 1989 Page 7 (3) Consider a recommendation to extend the boundaries of the City's Rental Rehabilitation Program to include the St. Clements Street area. Comment: Results of a survey conducted in the St. Clements Street area, off Prairie du Chien Road, show that a majority of the residents are of low -moderate income and could benefit from the City's Rental Rehabilitation Program. A public hearing was held on February 7, 1989. Council will vote on this item following review by the Housing Commission on February 28, 1989. (4) Consider a recommendation to endorse the concept of using housing rehabilitation funds to match State historic preservation grant funds to survey older properties in the North Side. Comment: No action is requested at this time. However, CCN supports the concept of utilizing CDBG funds to survey older properties in order to reduce the staff time needed for the application and reporting requirements of the State Office of Historic Preservation when the City utilizes federal funds to rehab older properties. tO/ /u, pQ (a-) Inc 411 ConvY. r,,eolnm dot; ;f !A,16 A*,A CCw Inel lowaq t-el?i ie Alk I;Oal Comm, i it i I it ----- --------------------------- Agenda Iowa City City Council February 21, 1989 Page 8 ITEM NO. 9 - CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO MAKE AN AMENDED OFFER TO PURCHASE FOR PARCEL NO. BSI.11, IN CONNECTION WITH THE BENTON STREET INTERCEPTOR PROJECT AND +81-35 FOR PARCEL NO. SISC.13, IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOUTHEAST INTERCEPTOR SEWER PROJECT. Comment: In December 1988, the City made an offer to purchase five temporary and permanent easements for sanitary sewer crossings beneath the Iowa Interstate Railroad right-of-way in conjunction with both the Benton Street Interceptor Project and the Southeast Interceptor Project. Iowa Interstate leases the roadbed from the fee owner, Heartland, and Hawkeye Land Company has the exclusive right to grant underground easements along and across the railroad right-of-way. However, easements granted by Hawkeye are subject to the rights of the fee owner and lessee, which would include the right to build structures over the easements and to require underground easement holders to move their improvements. In recognition that the easements being acquired by the City must be executed by fee owner Heartland and by its lessee, Iowa Interstate, and that the City's easements are not subject to the aforementioned rights of the fee owner and lessee, the City's appraiser has increased by $100 the value of each such easement crossing, bringing the compensation per crossing to $2,100, or a total of $10,500 for all five crossings. The subject resolution authorizes the City Manager to increase the City's offer accordingly.
