An agenda will be prepared and the location of the meeting determined. Please mark your calendars accordingly. tp33 7*7 ' City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: April 26, 1989 To: City Council From: City Manager Re: Chlorine Dioxide Testing/City Water Supply We will be shortly undertaking an extensive sampling and testing program concerning the utilization of chlorine dioxide in our water supply. The State Hygienic Laboratory has expressed interest in this procedure and results. Dr. Hausier, the Director of the Laboratory, has offered to assist us with designing the test program and doing the analysis at no cost to the City. The offer Is conditioned upon their ability to use the results in a publication which would be available to the general public. There evidently is need throughout Iowa for information concerning chlorine dioxide issues. Staff of the Department of Public Works believes that the offer of assistance of the laboratory staff is helpful, in that we currently do not have the equipment or skills to conduct such extensive test programs. The final report should be helpful to our continuing work with respect to the City's water supply. SJA1sp =V1 City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: March 17, 1989 p/ To: Steve Atkins, City Manager I '',.J From:�t;;John Lundell, Transit Manager Re: Free Ride Promotion Results As part of our ongoing promotional campaign, a coupon good for one free ride on Iowa City Transit was direct mailed in November to all households in Iowa City. This was accomplished using the Val -Pak Company. Users of the coupons were requested to fill out their name and address and were asked whether this trip was their first time using Iowa City Transit. The purpose of this promotion was to get people to try the system for the first time and then hopefully continue to use it. Use of the coupons was phenomenal with the majority, as expected, indicating it was not their first time using the transit system. However, 40 persons responded that it was their first experience on the system. To these persons, I sent them a personalized letter thanking them for trying Iowa City Transit and enclosed a complete set of route timetables and a system map. I also indicated that in a couple months I would send them a follow-up survey to determine if they used the system again and ask them to rate various aspects of our service. This follow-up survey has been mailed and 24 returned. I am very pleased with the results of which a summary is attached. 21 respondents indicated they have used Iowa City Transit again of which 6 say they now use it every day. Only 3 indicated they have not ridden the system since using their free ride coupon. I am also happy with their rating of Iowa City Transit. An identical coupon was mailed in January to all dormitory rooms, Greek houses, and major apartment complexes. These coupons expire the end of March and I will send the first-time users a similar follow-up survey in a couple months. It is both helpful and encouraging to be able to measure the actual results of a promotion. With our media promotions, we must rely on confidence that they are having a positive impact on our ridership.

This property is directly south of the Firestone store and continues to the Rectory of the St. Patrick's Church. The property is zoned CB -2. After considerable study and the review of many different proposals, it has been determined that the best way to improve the property to its greatest potential is to build a pair of four story structures linked at the ground floor by an office complex. The project will include 4,000 s.f. of office space, 42 underground parking spaces, and 80 apartments of various sizes. This type of project is needed and encouraged in the CB -2 zone. We feel this project could be a prototype for future development within the area. Having reviewed the project, the planning staff have encouraged us to accomplish it. In order to proceed, the present zoning ordinances must be amended in regards to parking requirements and the definition of what is the ground floor of the building. The city staff has suggested that we meet with you at your May 15, 1989 informal session, at which time we could present the merits of the project to You. It is hoped that you might direct the staff to study the ordinances and present to the council the necessary ordinance amendments that are required to accomplish this project. We hope that your schedule will allow us to meet with you on Monday, May 15, so that the project construction schedule can be maintained. Construction should begin on August 15, 1989.

City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: April 24, 1989 To: City Council From: City Manager Re: Stanley Consultants - Project Management Contract We were recently advised by Stanley Consultants that they wished to receive an additional $93,000 in compensation for their work on the sewage treatment project. We have reviewed their request and have advised them of our interpretation of the contract, which was that the amounts so indicated were to cover all work associated with their contractual obligations. Chuck has advised them in writing of the decision, and needless to say they were not particularly thrilled with the decision. There are certain elements of the proposal that may have merit. However, we have taken a position of strict interpretation of the contract, therefore, I am not recommending any additional compensation at this time. Oftentimes, these matters reach the Council Indirectly and therefore I wanted to alert you to the staff's decision.

The arbitrator's decisions are summarized on page 10 and you will note that he has recommended no changes in the current contract with the exception of a 3.5% across-the-board salary increase. This is the same amount that was recommended by the fact finder and, along with the uncontested increase in shift differential recommended by the fact finder (3-11 shift increased from 54 to 154 per hour and 11-7 shift increased from 106 to 254 per hour), represents the total settlement package for the FY90 contract.

The police department has approximately 53 sworn officers. The parties reached impasse in their efforts to negotiate an agreement for 1989-90 and proceeded through mediation and fact- finding. Fact-finding recommendations were issued on March 10, 1989. The parties resolved several issues with the assistance of the fact -finder's report and; under a mutual agreement to waive the statutory impasse deadline of March 15, the parties then sought arbitration. The parties agreed to the undersigned as+a single arbitrator and also established April 25, 1989 as the date for a final arbitration award. No other agreed to modifications of section 20.22 of the Iowa Public Employment Relations Act were made known to the arbitrator. i At the beginning of the arbitration hearing on march 28, a procedural issue was brought forward by the City. The City claimed that the Union was improperly putting several issues before the arbitrator for decision. These issues were Dental Insurance, Ammunition, and Riot Equipment. The City contender) that these three issues were not presented to the fact -finder and, therefore, could ii not be raised in arbitration. The City's claim was filed with the Iowa Public Employment Relations Board (PERB). The resolution of such questions of arbitrability are not within the authority of an interest arbitrator under the Iowa law. Rather, they must be resolved by the Iowa PERB or the parties. As of t8e date of this Award, no conclusion has yet been determined by the Iowa PERB regarding the City's claim. Thus, all issues at impasse presented at arbitration on March 28, 1989 by either party are part of the decision of the undersigned arbitrator in order to provide a complete decision, with the expectation that any K n 757 issue found by the Iowa PERB to not be properly before the arbitrator will be excised from the Award. The following Issues at Impasse were presented for binding, final offer arbitration: Wages, Position Classification, Detective Stand-by, Work Day, Dental Insurance, Ammunition, and Riot Equipment. 1. Wages The current agreement provides for a range of $20,113.60 per year as a minimum salary for a police officer to a maximum of $29,161.60 with a five step salary schedule. Positions. The City proposes a 3% increase as its final offer. The Union and the fact -finder both endorse wage increases of 3.5% for the contract year beginning in July of 1989. The City supports its offer by noting that Iowa City police officers are already relatively well paid within the state and that a 3% increase will be near the current rise in the coat of living, citing a Consumer Price Index change of 3.8%. The City stresses that a 3% raise for police officers would comport with the 2.76% and 3.25% raises already agreed to with the City's blue collar and fire units. The City also notes that it agreed to a shift differential improvement which had been recommended by the fact -finder, another wage gain by the Union which should be weighed in the decision of the arbitrator. The Union and the fact -finder both propose an increase of 3.5%. The Union emphasizes the high productivity of the police officers and urges that a 3.6% raise is appropriate in view of a low officer to population staffing ratio in Iowa City. The fact -finder recommends 3.5% as a raise near the pattern of settlements in similar police units in Iowa. He cites settlements of 3.75% in Ames and 4% in Cedar Falls. Decision. The arbitrator selects the position of the fact -find and the Union as the most reasonable, a 3.5% increase at each step of the salary schedule. This increase will be close to the increase in the cost of living, noted at 3.8%, and keep Iowa City police in a strong wage position among comparable Iowa police units, particularly at experienced ranks where Iowa City will remain highly competitive (City Exhibit 6). A 3.5% raise for Iowa City officers will also be near the average increase of 3.45% cited for police in larger Iowa municipalities (City Exhibit 7) and reflects the impressive productivity of Iowa City police (Union Exhibits 4, 7, and 8). 2. Position Classification The current contract provides that an officer temporarily designated to a higher job classification will be paid the higher, temporary rate after the officer has served in the temporary position for at least 50 days. I Positions. The City and the fact -finder propose no change in the existing contract. The Union seeks a modification which would provide that a bargaining unit employee, when functioning as a supervisor, immediately receives an increase in hourly pay equal to half the difference between the officers rate and the rate of the supervisor. The City and the fact -finder both urge the retention of present contract language, but for different reasons. The City stresses the difficulty of administering the Union proposal with varying pay rates. The fact -finder cites the absence of any significant problems under the current clause. 4 The Union supports its final offer position with data from similar city police contracts. The Union submits that it is common in other police units to have an officer receive supervisor pay for all time in such temporary assignments. Iowa City officers rarely get higher pay when working out of classification because the assignment is usually lees than the 50 day minimum required. The Union argues that its proposal is designed to provide pay appropriate to the level of work performed. Decision. The arbitrator selects the position of the fact -finder and the City as the most appropriate. The evidence clearly shows that Iowa City is below the norm among similar police units in the state regarding work temporarily performed at a higher classification (City Exhibit 13). However, under the procedures of final offer arbitration in Iowa, the arbitrator is limited to selecting among final offers presented. Here, the proposal of the Union to amend the current contract seems plagued with potential problems of implementation. Two different officers filling in for the same supervisor would be paid different amounts for the same work. Further, the Union language says the higher rate is due when the officer is "functioning" as an acting supervisor, rather than when designated to be an acting supervisor. This could present issues over who determines when an officer is performing all or only some of the duties in a higher, supervisory classification or is "functioning" the equal to a specific "designation" as a temporary supervisor? Thus, the Union's evidence has merit, but its proposal appears flawed in terms of sound contract administration. Given these concerns, the continuation of the current language on position classification is awarded. G 751 3. Detective Stand-by The current agreement provides for an officer required to be on stand-by status to be paid an hour's wages for each eight hours of stand-by time. Detectives are exempt from these stand-by pay provisions. Positions. The fact -finder and the City propose that the current contract be maintained. The Union seeks to have detectives paid $50 for each weekly or week -end stand-by requirements. The City and the fact -finder emphasize the agreement of the parties which placed the current exception from stand-by pay for detectives in the contract. The Union urges that the exemption for detectives was negotiated in the 19608 to deal with special circumstances which no longer exist. The Union further notes that naming a detective to be on stand-by is inflexible and often not needed. The Union cites the absence of required detective stand- by in other Iowa police unite (Union Exhibit 27). The Union submits that pay for restrictions on the detective's personal life through required stand-by when off- duty should be compensated for detectives, as is now the case for other non - detective officers (Union Exhibits 25 and 28). Decision. The continuation of current contract language regarding detective stand-by, as proposed by the City and recommended by the fact -finder, is selected as the most appropriate final offer. To change mutually agreed language, the evidence must be both strong and clear in demonstrating the need for change and failure of the current provisions. I find such clarity lacking here. The "policy" which now appears to control detective stand-by conditions is not specified in the current contract clause. The notion of stand-by time in the contract states that "it may be necessary or desirable" to require stand-by, suggesting that the use of stand-by will vary and not be routine, whether paid or unpaid. Further, as the 0 757 Union notes, the Fair Labor Standards Art provides for claims that a work status which interferes with normal, personal activities may be subject to compensation in some circumstances. In short, the avenues for resolving this issue under the current contract do not appear to have been exhausted. Therefore, a continuation of the present clause on stand-by appears the most reasonable at this time. 4. Work Day The current agreement specifies the work day as eight hours, with officers required to report 15 minutes prior to an assigned shift and, if requested, 15 minutes after the eight hour shift. Positions. The City and the fact -finder propose no change in the language on work day. The Union position is to limit the work day to eight hours and eliminate the 15 minute reporting time before and after a shift. The fact -finder emphasizes the cost of the Union proposal, as either higher wages for the paid reporting time or reduced work time at current pay. The City submits that Iowa City officers are comparatively well paid and that past negotiations have reflected trade-offs by the City to continue the practice of reporting time before and after shifts. The Union stresses that the current practice of required reporting time could add up to 1/2 hour a day to the officer's duty. This time should be compensated and the Union has pursued the matter to arbitration after negotiations have failed to resolve the issue. Decision. The position of the fact -finder and the City is selected as the most appropriate final offer on the issue of work day. Two points are especially germane here. First, the data from comparable Iowa police units show that most have a briefing or roll -call time before the eight hour shift beings (City Exhibit 1). 7 c�/ Second, if unpaid "work" time is involved, as the Union itself notes, the administration of the Fair Labor Standards Act may be an appropriate source for resolution (Union Brief pg. 2). Again, the burden to fully justify change in a mutually negotiated provision has not been met and, therefore, continuation of the present work day language is awarded. 5. Dental Insurance The current contract provides for single coverage dental insurance for all officers. Positions. The City seeks no change in the present language regarding dental insurance. The Union proposes an open enrollment clause for dental insurance which permits police employees to enroll in the dental plan offered other City employees. The City submits that overall settlement packages must be 'considered, noting that compromises such as two year agreements are reflected in contracts with the other City bargaining unite. The Union urges that equity across the dental insurance opportunities for all City employees must be given controlling weight. Decision. The continuation of current dental insurance language is selected as the most appropriate. While the current police dental plan may differ from the blue collar and fire units, there was no evidence to show that the police do or will have a lesser dental insurance program. Consequently, a request for change is not supported. 6. Ammunition The current contract provides that each officer will be provided with at least 60 rounds of target ammunition each month. H 757 Posiftions. The City seeks no change in the existing language. The Union proposes that language specifying the actual issuance of the practice rounds be added and that an additional 50 rounds per month be provided for one year. The City stresses that it has the responsibility to insure that officers are competent with their weapons. The Union submits that new automatic weapons have replaced revolvers and more practice is needed until officers are fully familiar with the new weapons. The Union also claims that some supervisors have been hesitant in actually providing officers with the 50 practice rounds now mandated in the contract. Decision. The amendment in the current contract provision for practice ammunition is awarded. The present language says "at least" (emphasis added) 50 rounds of target ammunition will be provided. No data to demonstrate that the City would not fulfill its management responsibility to have proper training on the new automatic handguns was convincing. Further, the present language that 50 rounds will be "provided" monthly "for" each officer appears more than adequate assurance to facilitate practice. If supervisors fail to make the ammunition reasonably available as specified in the contract, grievance procedures are available to treat the matter. A need to change "provided for" to "issued to" is not supported by a failed test of existing language. 7. Riot Equipment The present contract has no clause specifying riot gear for officers. Positions. The City seeks no additional language related to weapons and special equipment. The Union proposes a new clause which would mandate the City to issue six times of riot equipment, including helmets, gas masks, and riot shields. 0 757 i The City submits that no police units in the comparison group have clauses on riot equipment and that there is no evidence to show a special need for such a provision in Iowa City. The Union urges that the City has failed to follow through on plans to purchase such equipment and that it is critical to have additional riot gear before problems develop. Decision. The continuation of present language on weapons and special equipment is the most appropriate selection and no new language related to riot equipment is awarded. There is no evidence that the City has failed to provide adequate equipment for special needs, including riot control, for its officers within the context of Iowa City. Therefore, in accordance with the above discussion, I hereby make the following UNUMN, Wages - increased to 3.5% at each step of the salary schedule. 2.

Johnson, Jr., Debtor; Bankruptcy No. 3-89-1457 Attached please find the Order proposed by the Debtor's Attorney, and reviewed by all the Secured Creditors' attorneys. This Order memorializes the bench Order issued by Judge Kishel last Friday, April 28, 1989 after hearing. As discussed earlier, it is my opinion that this Order incorporates my expressed concerns, and satisfactorily protects the City's interests in the Holiday Inn - Iowa City. Payment of parking fees is listed as an expense in Exhibit A-2. As You can see from the Cash Flow Projections, Exhibit A-2, the Hotel's ending cash balance would permit payment to the City on the Debtor's monthly obligation of ± $19,000, but such payment would require court approval. Since the Hotel is an income-producing property and the Order prohibits the Hotel's receipts from being directed to or commingled with any property other than the Hotel, the Holiday Inn should remain on sound financial grounds. I will continue to keep you informed. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Enclosure cc: T.

The substation is about completed. We estimate our work will be done about May 1. The substation could be energized anytime after that when your work is completed. Based on the City Manager's letter, it appears we may not be able to energize the lines until approval is given by the City Council.

Timmins, City Attorney(/. a� Linda Newman Gentry, First Assistant City Attorn Re: First E Rochester, Part Three, A Subdivision of I wa ity, Iowa The Conditional Zoning Agreement for First 8 Rochester, Part 3, approved by the City Council along with rezoning of that property on April 5, 1988, purports to limit development in that Subdivision to 27 residences until a secondary access is provided, see attached. It explicitly provides that "the parties have agreed that twenty-seven (27) is the maximum number of single family residences which may be allowed on the Development Land before secondary street access is provided to the area," see attached agreement. Recently, a local attorney, in examining an abstract for a client's purchase of two large lots in this Subdivision, found that private Covenants, not involving the City, were recorded by the Subdivider after his execution of the Conditional Zoning Agreement. These private covenants explicitly contemplated that Lots 91, 92, 94 and 95 could be split into two lots each. See attached Plat and private Covenants. City practice has traditionally, and we believe lawfully, permitted one -lot splits after sale to a new owner. However, the attorney later learned from City staff that the City's Conditional Zoning Agreement limited the Subdivision to 27 residences until secondary access was obtained. The local attorney then informed the Legal Department that the Conditional Zoning Agreement was not "of record" in the Recorder's office, and therefore did not show up in his client's abstract of title. We admire and appreciate this attorney's candor in bringing this to our attention. Although Iowa law does not require the recording of a conditional zoning agreement since it is effective upon publication of the zoning ordinance of which it is a part, the better practice would be to record conditional zoning agreements since they are, by their nature, designed to be covenants running with the land and should be recorded. Conversely, a conditional zoning agreement is not simply another agreement between the City and the subdivider. It is intended to be effective against the subdivider as well as against subsequent purchasers. In response to these events, we recorded the Conditional Zoning Agreement. We also alerted the Housing and Inspection Services Department, by written memo dated April 10, 1989, to keep track of the number of building permits issued in the above Subdivision. The Conditional Zoning Agreement limits the number of "single family residences" to a total number of 27 until secondary access is available. Also, according to the provisions of the Conditional Zoning Agreement, the City 76 F is not obligated to approve any further "subdivision plat or plats" until and unless secondary access is provided, see attached. It is our opinion that if the City and/or the Subdivider wanted to limit the number of lots in this Subdivision to 27, the Conditional Zoning Agreement could easily have said so but did not. We bring this to your attention, not to place blame on anyone but for three objective reasons: First, to alert you to possible difficulties when the number of building permits for single family residences reaches 27 in this Subdivision, in order to enforce compliance with the Conditional Zoning Agreement. At that point, the City will issue no more permits, even though some lots have been legally split. You should anticipate a request to amend the Agreement at that time. Second, we urge the City to view this series of events as a learning experience, and to govern ourselves accordingly hereafter. Third, we intend to subject any subsequent conditional zoning requests to a high degree of scrutiny, in order to avoid such problems in the future. We will continue to keep you informed on this matter, and will be available for your comments and questions, as needed. cc: Steve Atkins, City Manager Don Schmeiser, PPD Director Doug Boothroy, HIS Director bj/pc2 Attachments: Private Restrictive Covenants - First E Rochester, Part Three Conditional Zoning Agreement Plat, First E Rochester, Part Three 76/ CITY OF CIVIC CENTER 410 E.

GOAL DEPARTMENT 7Gz In Minnesota, a Plastics Ban Local Laws Take Aim At Indestructible Trash By WILLIAM E. SCHMIDT ]N the early 1980's, the titles of St. Paul and Minneapolis joined a growing number of cities and counties with curbside recycling programs, picking up glass bottles, alumi. num cans and newspapers that might otherwise libinto landfills or incinerators. But officials in the Twin Cities noticed that more and more of the stuff people were throwing out Included things like milk jugs, soft drink con- tainers. grocery bags and egg cartons that used to consist of paper or cardboard or glass, but now were made out of various plastics that the city could not recycle. Now the officials, in a move likely to be Imi- tated elsewhere, are instituting the most far. reaching waste -management measures yet: or. dinances aimed at banning from store shelves and fast-food restaurants any plastic carryout caeca food packaging that cannot be recycled. The Min- neapolis City Council unanimously adopted the ordinance, which takes effect In July 1999, at the end of March; St. Paul is expected to puss Its ver. sion this month. The two ordinances reflect the urgency with which many local govemments across the coon. try are approaching the Issue of solld-waste dis. posal, amid growing concern about shrinking landfill space and the potential environmental consequences of incineration. "Solid waste disposal is almost wholly a local concern," said Jeanne Wirka, an analyst with the Environmental Action Foundations in Washing. On. "People can't necessarily do anything about the Alaska oil spill, but they can do something about recycling and plastics," she said. The Environmental Protection Agency pre. diets that plastic products, which now make up about 7 percent of the waste stream, will account for 15 percent by the year 2002. Food manufacturers and retail-, ers say the switch to plastic pack -i aging, which is now commonly used ineverything from ketchup bottles to the foam pads inside packaged meals, is a boon to consumers, being lighter and more economical' than glass or paper alternatives. But in the Twin Cities, public offi- cials see it another way. "It's crazy, ' said Bob Long, a member of the St. Paul City Council who spon. sored the ordinance. "As a matter of public policy, we are trying to recycle more and more or our gar. bage. And the food industry is pack. aging more and more foodstuffs In, plastic that we can't recycle." The involvement of local gavem- ments with solid -waste disposal, began with a growing interest in. public recyling efforts. Since 1986, states including New Jersey, Rhode Island and Oregon, have adopted recycling programs, and New York City will start pickups of bottles, cans and newspapers this year. Now some cities are taking on. plastics as a kind of symbolic next step. Both Berkeley, Calif., and Suf. folk County passed bans last year on the use of polystyrene plastic for fast foods or other foods packaged by local retailers. The Suffolk County law, which is due to take of-. feet In July, is the object of a law- suit filed by plastic manufacturers. Within the last few weeks, hun. dreds of cities and organizations have asked Minneapolis for copies of its new ordinance, and a state- wide version of the law was intro- duced in the Minnesota Legislature. two weeks ago. It would ban all manner of plastic containers, with provisions to exempt products whose manufacturers can prove they can be recycled. In Minnesota, food retailers and plastic manufacturers are urging, the state lawmakers to effectively preempt the Minneapolis and St. Paul laws. Failing that, the Industry plans to go to court. Still, the threat of more curbs on plastics has had an effect an the Industry. There Is increasing talk about developing de. gradable plastics, and several large companies have Invested $1.8 million in research aimed at developing new ways to recycle their products. While about 29 percent of aluminum and 21 percent of paper is currently recyclable, less than 1 percent of plastic goods are recycled, mostly as fiberfill for pillows or carpet facing. Susan Vadney of the Society of the Plastic In-, dustry says plastics can be 190 percent recycla. ble, and argues that the principal effect of laws banning them Is to drive up grocery prices be. cause paper and glass are marc expensive. In Minneapolis and St. Paul, officials say they cannot afford to recycle plastics because the, scrap value of such Items is far less than the cost of collecting them. if the Industry is serlous about recycling, said Mr. Long, the solution Is simple: They should subsidize local recycling programs. 74.3 Pupil Starts A Revolution Of Her Own: Ban Plastics BYGEORGEJAMU WEST MILFORD, N.J.ADnI P—A revo In.

Olive Pearl Ritter 314 North Clinton Street Iowa City, IA 52245 F I L E D MAY Ile Yw Date: April 29, 1989 To: John McDonald, Mayor of Iowa City Stephen Atkins, City Manager Members of the City Council John McDonald Susan Horowitz William Ambrisco Karen Kubby John Balmer Randy Larson Darrel Courtney Phillip E. Jones, Dean of Student Services, University of Iowa Mary Peterson, Coordinator, Campus Programs, University of Iowa New officers of Delta Tau Delta From: Olive Pearl Ritter Subject: Concerns about the environment in the 30U block of North Clinton Street There has to be a way for people living in the 300 Mock of North Clinton to enjoy their homes. As it is now, the Delta Tau Delta fraternity succeeds in making life very difficult for many of us. Disturbances have been going on from time to time for a number of years. The paragraphs below describe some recent events. On Saturday, April 15, the Delts had a car wash in the alley of the 300 block that runs between Clinton and Dubuque Streets. There are more than 40 persons who have parking spots or garages on the alley, and some of them were not noti- fied until the night before, making it impossible to get Saturday chores done (see notice of car wash enclosed). The car wash turned into a big party, with loud music blaring. None of us in the neighborhood could believe the city would give permission for this activity to take place in one of the busiest alleys in town. The purpose was good, but the method was wrong. Some people who were using their cars which are parked along this alley reported that it took 30 to 45 minutes to get through. The boys have really been trying to keep the dumpster from overflowing, but some way they can't discipline themselves enough to make sure no cans are put in the trash. Thus we still get the tramps going through the dumpster and scattering the garbage. on windy days it looks as if we are all Litter bugs around here. Does the city government give anyone the right to go through dumpsters and garbage cans? If so, this matter should be investigated. The double parking in the alley is a safety problem as well as being trouble- some. On a number of occasions, more than one of my tenants has had to go over to the frat house and get someone to move a car illegally parked. Why should we have to be inconvenienced in this way? Loud music (I shouldn't call it music) from the balconies and the side and front porch, as well as hi fi's positioned outside the house --even in cars-- Page 2 April 29, 1989 has been distracting to our whole neighborhood. Add to this, screaming and yelling by a group of 100-150 people at weekend parties, and you feel you're going crazy after a few hours. Last week we had loud music on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, April 20, 21, and 22. Then on Sunday afternoon, April 23, we had it again. I went over to see about getting the noise quieted, but I couldn't even be heard. It was during this weekend chat the fraternity received a citation for having a disorderly house from the Iowa City police. The police fined them, but a Eine of 50 cents or less per member will never stop the disturbances in the fraterni- ties. Thus they will alwaysc3nsume more than their share of the time of the police force. In October, 1988, I met with the officers of the fraternity and a representa- tive of the University Student Services office, but no one from the city came to the meeting. We agreed to some stipulations relative to maintenance of the fraternity house and the conduct of members. A copy of those stipulations, With signatures, is enclosed, along with some notes about violations of the stipulations. (I am also enclosing a copy of a letter sent to the fraternity and other concerned persons in September of 1984.) several months ago, President Hunter Rnwl ings, in a talk to students, said that part of the education of a student while at the University is learning to live in the community. To do this successfully, students should have the help of the city, the Office of Student Services of the University, and the community. These groups should work together to provide an environment that will make it possible for all of us to live in harmony. The final question: Who in each group to whom this memo is addressed is going to help solve these problems which have become a nuisance on North Clinton as well as all over town? Because in most instances, there are new officers in the fraternities who are now taking over, this is an excellent time for ail representatives of the city, University, fraternity, and community to get together to solve these problems. We know that fraternities have some excellent young men as members, but the leadership is often weak, and they do need some excellent counseling. We really _ want to enjoy having these young people in our community, and we feel this is possible if the items discussed above could be carried to full fruition. Because I am heavily involved in a financial way with 18 apartments in this area and charged with keeping tenants happy, I need to know how to plan for the coming year for the sake of my tenants and the rest of our community. I don't want to be placed in a position where some of my tenants have to leave their apartments Page 3 April 29, 1989 to study because of the loud music and yelling. , I enclosures Notice of car wash Stipulations of agreement with Delta Tau Delta, Fall, 1988 Letter to Delta Tau DElta and others concerned, September 1, 1984 Violations of the Stipulations in the Fall 1988 Agreement 1. Loud music has been played in the fraternity yards, balconies, and in cars. Comment: Loud music should be played only inside the house, with doors and windows closed. If this is not possible, parties should be held away from the residential district. The city should be responsible for deciding what noise levels are to be tolerated in the neighborhood, and fraternities should abide by that decision. Fraternity members should not depend on a neighbor saying, "Sh, a little less noise" or on someune in the neighborhood calling the police. 2. The dumpster has not been closely supervised, resulting in garbage strewn in the alley. 74f 314 North Clinton Street Iowa City, IA 52240 September 1, 1984 To whom it may concern: The Delta Tau Delta, Fraternity (3^-2 North Clinton Street) has become Impossible to live near. In the paragraphs below I have outlined my concerns about a situation that I feel is not only lowering the value of my proper- ties but also making life unbearable for my tenants and others in the neighborhood. My tenants and my neighbors have really suffered because of the lifestyle of the boys living at the above address. There have been times when some of us have had to move from our bedrooms to other parts of our apartments to _ get away from the noise --loud yelling, music, etc. A number of times I have left my home and gone to my niece's home in order to get any sleep. I have studied this situation carefully, and I•know it is lowering the value of my apartments. How can I rent to desirable students who want a quiet place to work? The porches, streets, and alleys are not places to hold parties at night when people want to sleep and want to be able to work the next day. This summer there were crowds of students outside our windows, including many girls. The groups must have come from all the fraternities and sororities. To hold these parties in such a small place is ridiculous. Let's look at a couple examples of the activities this past summer. On the following dates there were parties with noise that you wouldn't believe anyone could tolerate: July 12 7 p.m. to 4 a.m. July 13 7 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. July 14 five or six hours at night July 15 Loud noise starting up Sunday a.m. On this day I took my guest and some of my tenants away for the day. There was no way we could endure the devastating noise. July 24 Another loud party. One of my tenants, Mrs. Pollock, called the police about 2:30 a.m. from her apart- ment. Then she heard a voice above the din call, "She's called the police, fellows, cut it; turn everything off." Silence! Mrs. Pollock called the police right back. The boys were tuned in to the police radios and knew where their c werF. f C Gi old To whom it may concern September 1, 1984 page 2 After these parties, empty beer cans and kegs were displayed on the side porch where their parties are usually held --fall, summer, and spring. It seems the idea of socializing is to stand around and guzzle beer, play the stereo very loud, and shout and yell. Then when some of the boys need to relieve themselves, they simply use the alley and yard and windows on my even used a c house where one of my tenants sleeps. They have car parked in under roof house this purpose. scourse, start the evening, everything reaches aterrific crescendo byearlymorning (4 or S a.m.). The fraternity house has no screens'or storm windows. Most windows and doors are never closed except in extreme cold weather. Thus their noise is never shut inside. We who live at 314 North Clinton can never open our noise. Because there are no screens, air condition - windows because of the ing, and no place for outside activities, I feel the house should be closed down especially during the summer. Garbage is another problem. After these parties the plastic cups and papers cover the alley; often there is broken glass in the alley. One of my tenants reported that when she drovedown the alley ck.Nuch after one of debris is the parties, it was like driving over eggs light and blows over on my yards and walks. I dislike the unsightly garbage bin, too. Trash is often piled high (uncovered, unsacked) on the bin as well as beside it and under it. On li Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, August 24-27, I took some pictures the unsightliness. One is enclosed in the letter sent to the City Council. s who ing in.

Issues of concern by Council Members Open discussion City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM DATE: May 1, 1989 TO: Steve Atkins, City Manager FROM: Patt Cain, Economic Development Coordinator RE: Council Goal Setting Session - Urban Renewal Parcel 64-1a In reviewing the draft Prospectus for marketing Urban Renewal Parcel 64-1a, the City Council should consider several policy issues directly affecting development of this lot. These are briefly described below. 1. Land Uses Allowed or Desired The Prospectus is now drafted to solicit proposals including any or all uses permitted in the CB -10 zone. These uses are basically retail, office, business and personal services, hotels, and residential units located above the ground floor. If the Council wishes to omit certain uses from consideration or to designate preferred uses, that should be stated in the Prospectus. In addition there may public uses that the Council would like to have incorporated Into the redevelopment. These should be identified and included in the Prospectus, and Council should determine what public participation could be offered in exchange. The appraised value of the parcel is also affected by the projected redevelopment and now reflects the possibility of a mixed use facility on the site. Thus the minimum price should be reassessed If the allowable uses were signiicantly altered. 2. Parking The underlying assumption of the Prospectus draft is that parking is not required to be Included on the site but may be considered If desired by the developer. In the past, suggestions have been made to link the Dubuque Street ramp over the alley onto Parcel 64-1a. This could be an extension of a public parking facility or could be a method of providing private parking. if the City wishes to provide public parking on this site, financial participation will be necessary and the Prospectus should require this feature. Likewise, any requirement or preference for provision of private parking as part of re- development should be stated. 3. Design The Prospectus mentions design as an Important element in the redevelopment but stops short of requiring specific design elements (e.g., particular facade materials, colors, open or 'common' space). Again, to the extent that the Council agrees what is or is not acceptable, these components should be clarified. 7467 N 4. Financing The Prospectus gives preference to a cash sale of the parcel but allows other financing arrangements. If only a cash sale will be considered or, on the other hand, if a cash sale Is not even preferred, this section should be changed. Obviously there are more criteria than the highest or quickest return to the City, and the Council should be sure the wording in the financing section reflects the members' priorities. S. Community Expectations The redevelopment of this parcel has been characterized in the past as the 'keystone" of the City's Urban Renewal project. The Council could suggest other factors that citizens may expect from development on this site and how the redevelopment process and Prospectus can better reflect the desires and concerns of the community. In brief, the City Council has tremendous discretion in marketing this parcel. The process can range from the relatively open method described in the draft Prospectus to the procedure used in achieving a downtown hotel (a consultant was hired to investigate the market and design the project, and a developer was then solicited by Prospectus to build the project as specified). I will be present at the May 8 meeting to outline the process of selling Parcel 64-1a and to discuss any of the above issues as Council may request. ��s DRAFT Iowa City, Iowa Redevelopment Prospectus Parcel 64-1a IM oor Redevelopment Prospectus City of Iowa City, Iowa CONTENTS Page TheCommunity ........................ 1 The Site 5 Development Conditions .................. 9 Bidding Procedure ..................... 11 Developer Selection Process .............. 14 Available Reports ...................... 17 Additional Information ................... 18 Appendix A Appendix B The Community INTRODUCTION In recent years, the City of Iowa City has undertaken an ambitious urban renewal project to renovate and reconstruct its downtown retail and employment center. Through public action and commitment, the City has stimulated private investment in redevelopment and rehabilitation of the vital downtown area and improved Iowa City's downtown environment to serve the employment, shopping, residential and leisure needs of its citizens. The City of Iowa City Is currently seeking a responsible developer for the last undeveloped parcel of the original 18 parcels (nearly 12 acres) of urban renewal land acquired for disposition and development by the City. The site provides an excellent development and Investment opportunity in the dynamic Iowa City market. Community expectations for this site center on a mixed use development, preferably with some open/common space integrating with the pedestrian mail on the north. The development should both take advantage of and foster pedestrian linkages and activity generation in the downtown area. =-1 r 7G -s COMMUNITY OVERVIEW Location Iowa City is a thriving community strategically located in east central Iowa within 300 miles of Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Louis. Cedar Rapids, Iowa's second largest city, Is 25 miles north via 1-380, and 1-80 links Iowa City with Des Moines (I 10 miles west) and Davenport (60 miles east). Iowa City is home to The University of Iowa, a Big Ten conference school with enrollment of more than 29,000 and over 10,000 full-time faculty members and employees. The UI campus Is adjacent to the downtown urban renewal area, and students, faculty and employees play a key supporting role for downtown commercial and retail activities. I The City is the county seat of Johnson County, and the Iowa City Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) Is coterminous with the county. Population i With a population of approximately 50,500, Iowa City j constitutes about 60% of the total population of Johnson County. The City has experienced a relatively stable population since 1980 while the surrounding Johnson County population has Increased at a rate of approximately 2.1 % per year. Most of the population growth has occurred in close proximity to Iowa City and convenient to the downtown. 2 Employment Total employment in Johnson County has increased an average of 2.6% per year from 1981 to 1987. In terms of net new job creation, the government and service/construction sectors have shown the largest absolute gain. The finance/real estalefinsurance, transportation/utilities and service/construction sectors have had the greatest percentage increase. Iowa City typically has one of the lowest unemployment rates among the nation's metropolitan areas. Unemployment has exceeded 5% only once in the past six years. In 1988 the annual unemployment rate was 1.8 percent. Retail Retail activity in the Iowa City MSA has been strong in recent years, and in light of significant public improvements and high-quality retail space provided in downtown Iowa City, future retail activity is expected to be even stronger. Johnson County's taxable retail sales for FYI 988 totaled approximately $520 million; about 78% of these retail sales were in Iowa City. Since 1983, both Iowa City and Johnson County show stable to Increasing retail sales measured in constant dollars. Because of the regional shopping center scale being created in the downtown, Iowa City's share of Johnson County retail sales is expected to Increase in future years. Housing The Iowa City-Coralviile area generates a large demand for rental housing due to the student population. Presently, there are 7,066 multi -family rental units and 1,770 duplexes in the metro area. In 1986, the vacancy rate within one mile of the Pentacrest (the University campus area commonly considered as the center of Iowa City) was 2.2%. DOWNTOWN AREA With Its Urban Renewal program, the City has used public Investment to Install functional and aesthetic Improvements to utilities, streets, parking and other major public facilities In the downtown. Utilities on key streets are placed underground and extensive beautification programs have been completed. Public parking facilities have been constructed to encourage and support downtown activities. Downtown street improvements were designed to provide safe, efficient and attractive circulation to minimize conflicts between pedestrians, bicycle, automobile, 76s transit and service truck traffic. Municipal utility systems (water, sanitary and storm sewer) are in sound condition. The City Plaza, a three -block pedestrian mall, has been designed to enhance pedestrian circulation within the downtown core. The character of City plaza Is warm and inviting with an abundance of brick, wood and trees. Governor Robert Lucas Square, located at the center of City Plaza, was designed with convenient seating along the planters and on terrace steps. Theatrical lighting effects are possible which makes the area ideal for cultural events. The center of the square is a fountain with strong sculptural detail. 0 Directly south of the Governor Lucas Square is the 236 - room Holiday Inn. Anchoring the west end of City Plaza is Old Capitol Center, a 376,000 square foot retail development. Anchoring the east end of City Plaza is the new Iowa City Public Library. Parcel 64-ia, the redevelopment site, is across from the Library and directly east of the Holiday Inn. The redevelopment projects were planned to complement and reinforce each other to create a strong economic and social center for Iowa City. The proximity to the University, two municipal parking ramps with over 1500 parking spaces, and limited suburban shopping opportunities are important Indicators that downtown Iowa City will remain a strong major retail, office and service center. These assets combine to make Iowa City's last Urban Renewal site an excellent development and investment opportunity. 7G.S The Site DESCRIPTION Consisting of approximately 39,000 square feet, the subject site is located at the intersection of Linn Street and City Plaza, a well -landscaped pedestrian mall in the heart of downtown Iowa City. The site is located approximately two blocks from the University of Iowa campus and one block from Old Capitol Center—a two-level (370,000 square feet) enclosed shopping mall with 61 tenants. C C nnnn nnnn Land uses surrounding the site are: North - Located across the pedestrian mall is the Iowa City Public Library, which has averaged over 40,000 users per month since opening in June 1981. South - A multi-level, 650 -space municipal parking garage is located across an alley from the site. West - Adjacent to the site is the Holiday Inn Hotel, the downtown's premiere lodging facility, Completed in 1984, the hotel recently expanded to 236 rooms. East - Located across Linn Street is the old public library which Is privately owned and leased for office space. Ws. J L J l_ J l_ -•y'St 'Vi''�l.^S��if�.ttzK' �Ye�NYy'.F ; / t1 76.lr ACCESS Excellent public transportation access is provided by the downtown transit exchange two blocks away. Unn Street provides direct street access to the property while City Plaza facilitates pedestrian movement to and from the site. This area is characterized by heavy pedestrian movement and a variety of daytime and nighttime activities. Parcel 64-1 a is zoned Central Business - 10 (CB -10). This zone Is Intended to be the high density, compact, pedestrian - oriented shopping, office, service and entertainment area of Iowa City. The zone is designed to accommodate a wide range of retail, service, office and residential uses and provides an excellent opportunity for a mixed use development. A detailed diagram of the site is shown in Figure 1. A legal description of the site is found in Appendix A. HISTORYISM CONDITIONS In 1937 this parcel was part of the area zoned as a business district. Thereafter, many different businesses operated from the block, Including coffee shops, restaurants, taverns, shoe repair, car sales and realtors. In 1959 the City acquired the parcel as part of a land purchase for a parking lot. The existing structures were demolished, and the area was backfilled and surfaced with asphaltic concrete for a parking lot. Results of exploratory soli borings on the site are available In a 1982 Foundation Investigation report. The report gives a physical content description of three borings on the site. There is approximately 7 to 11 feet of fill present (generally a silty clay with some crushed limestone and fragments of wood, brick and concrete). In general, the subsurface soils consist of about 32 to 44 feet of silt and clay soils overlying approximately 39 feet of sand. Umestone bedrock was encountered in two of the borings at depths ranging from approximately 71 to 76 feet below existing grades. (Note: The City does not guarantee that the report fully describes all subsoil conditions.) 7IGr Hotel n. Gum ft COLLEGE T. �l�t • r� � i"� • _?ice) � -. _.

For the final structure in the Urban Renewal Program, the City is seeking an imaginative, innovative design that will provide a striking addition to the downtown and will be Integrated with the pedestrian mail to the north. Pedestrian orientation and scale are important for this site, as they have been for the entire Urban Renewal Project. Also desirable for this develop- ment is some open or common space to serve as a focus for activities and a continuation of the pedestrian environment. A more detailed description of site design and regulations is found in Appendix B. LAND USE The uses allowed on Parcel 64-1 a are those consistent with the CB -10 zone and the Urban Renewal Pian. This zone is the high density, compact, pedestrian -oriented shopping, office, service, and entertainment area and permitted uses also Include residential development above the ground floor. Off-street parking facilities are publicly provided, and off-street accessory parking is allowed only as a provisional use. A detailed description and diagram of current zoning is found in Appendix B. PURCHASE PRICE The minimum purchase price established for the site, based on a cash sale of the property, is $637,000. A refundable deposit of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) by cashier's or certified check is to be included in the proposal submission, If the proposal is accepted by the City, the full faith deposit of $10,000 shall be held by the City without Interest and deducted from the total purchase price to derive the balance due for a cash purchase. With other sale terms, the deposit will be retained until the Certificate of Completion is issued. 9 74✓l' FINANCING SITE ACQUISITION The City prefers a cash sale of the property. A contract sale or lease -to -buy option can also be considered as part of a development proposal. The proposed financial package and return to the City will be evaluated as part of the proposal selection criteria, with preference given to the largest return over the shortest time period. The cash sale purchase terms for acquisition of the site require that 10% of the purchase price (includes credit for the $10,000 deposit) will be due upon execution of the contract for sale. The balance — 90% of the purchase price — is due at the time of settlement and delivery of the deed to the property. Alternative terms for payment can be suggested as part of the development proposal. If the agreement is terminated prior to the closing, the $10,000 deposit may be retained by the City as liquidated damages as provided in Part II of the Contract for Sale of Land for Private Redevelopment 10 ry XS Bidding Procedure PROPOSAL SUBMITTAL Developers are encouraged to contact the City of Iowa City to obtain a prospectus packet and to inform the City of their interest and intentions as soon as possible.

As time permits, the following items will be appropriate for discussion by the City Council: 1. Based purely on supply and demand, we determined there is currently no shortage of parking in downtown Iowa City. However, Council may wish to consider additional parking facilities because: a. As in virtually all downtown areas, there is still a perception that it is difficult to park in downtown Iowa City. In Iowa City this perception is heightened for two reasons: Because no automobiles are permitted on City Plaza, people must park further from their destination. Most available parking is in the City's parking ramps, which means it is not visible and is the least desirable type of parking facility for many users. b. In spite of vacant parking spaces, there is a 3- to 6 -month waiting list for monthly parking permits. This is because unused spaces are "reserved" for short-term shoppers, contractual obligations to the Holiday Inn, and permit holders on the temporary Parcel 64-1a lot. 2. Approximately 295 more parking spaces will be needed downtown by 1994 to accommodate the projected growth of the CB -10 zone. Depending upon Council's priorities, the spaces can be provided in several ways: a. An additional surface parking lot, probably south of Burlington Street. b. A single -floor deck over a portion of the Rec Center or Chauncey Swan parking lots. 7/0.S 2 C. Allowing the eventual developer of Parcel 64-1a to provide parking within the development. This would entail a Special Exception by the Board of Adjustment. d. A new parking ramp with surplus capacity which would attempt to attract development to a particular area of downtown, as well as Increase the use of downtown for special events. Increasing the supply of surplus parking would involve a financing mechanism other than user fees, such as property tax or a special assessment district. 3. It does not appear that the City's existing parking policy (adopted in 1972) fulfills the City Council's objectives for the community. If Council can reach a consensus on what they feel the parking system should accomplish as a City service, then staff can prepare a new policy statement for adoption. Council's discussion should include their goals for the other modes of transportation which bring people downtown - walking, bicycle and transit - realizing that parking policies will affect these other modes of f transportation. i Let me know if you have any questions regarding this matter between now and May a. i I INDUSTRIAL LAND DEVELOPMENT - CITY SPONSORED When we consider our community's future economic development, particularly that related to Industrial growth, I believe we are now at a point where additional policy direction must be provided by the City Council with respect to this Issue. A number of recent events have occurred which support the need for your policy direction. 1. Land sales at the existing Iowa City industrial park (BDI) have progressed satisfactorily of late. There now remains approximately 56 acres of platted land ready for development. In the arrangements between banks, BDI Board of Directors, and the City, the water and sewer will be provided in the near future. The only other industrial land ready for development within the corporate limits is on Imperial Court (approximately two acres). 2. The Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended an amendment to the comprehensive plan designation from industrial to commercial for that land along Highway 1 north of the airport. A majority of the Commission members have indicated that this land is more suitable for commercial development because of the lack of rail access and other surrounding uses. 3. The Comprehensive Plan Update also recommends that, to facilitate industrial growth and development, the land east of Scott Boulevard and south of the Iowa Interstate Railway should be Incorporated Into the city. With the new wastewater treatment plant under construction and the need to have marketable industrial land available, it appears that the recommendation is based upon the desire to proceed with annexation and rezoning of this land. I believe the circumstances are such that it is unlikely for a group of private citizens (such as BDI) would ever again step forward and attempt to prepare and finance a land development scheme that would have the effect of creating additional industrial park land. Based upon the above events and the circumstances surrounding the existing BDI development, it appears 7G.s there will be a need to consider public policy positions, i.e. local government Involvement in the preparation, financing, management, etc. of future industrial park land. While it is not uncommon for such circumstances to exist, we do not now have City Council policies with respect to this issue. Therefore, I would appreciate your direction as to desirability of pursuing future industrial developments under the leadership of the local government. i 1740 �� ..._. _.. __ -._.. _....., iw✓ City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: March 1, 1969 To: City Council From: City Manager Re: Urban Development Action Grant As we discussed during the budget review, the City Council postponed its policy discussion and decisions with respect to the use of UDAG repayment funds. During our discussions, it was agreed that I would provide you with a summary memorandum outlining issues important to your policy considerations. The following represents some of what I believe to be the key issues for your consideration. Generally speaking, the Federal Government has few strings attached to the use of UDAG repayments and as a general principle, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) guidelines apply to these funds. I believe there is a potential for greater flexibility in the use of these monies; however, we may need to check further with HUD if your policies were to be dramatically different from the CDBG guidelines. 2. To date, the UDAG repayment has been primarily directed toward City economic development activities. Specifically, you may recall we were considering the creation of an economic development revolving loan pool whereby the City, through the use of UDAG funds, would leverage bank and utility company funds. This would create lower cost financing opportunities for prospective businesses. Additionally, the City's $40,000 contribution to the Iowa City Area Development Group (ICAD) and financing the Economic Development Coordinator's expenses have been funded by UDAG. These two expenses represent approximately $82,000 annually. Of the $229,000 available on an annual basis, if the above mentioned expenditure policy were continued, approximately $147,000 would annually be available for appropriation by the City Council. 3. The UDAG monies have been used to provide City cash match and/or contribution to specific capital related economic development activities. The RISE application for the Highway i North widening (near NCS/Highlander Inn) required a $60,000 cash 7045 contribution by the City. As an economic development incentive to the Central Stales Can Company, a $50,000 rive -year, three percent loan is to be provided from UDAG. 4. It may be to the City's financial benefit that any project chosen involve some type of repayment so that we are assured of some continued replacement of the monies (loans instead of grants) in addition to the annual payments. 5. You may wish to consider charging the time of other staff involved in economic development activities and thereby relieve the General Fund of some financial responsibility. For example, I am frequently involved in the economic development activities and could charge a portion of my time and that of the City Manager's office against UDAG. Other examples would be charging specific engineering costs, legal services, financial recordkeeping, etc., to provide some savings to the General Fund. 6. In considering your policy positions and if you would choose to adopt the revolving fund concept, this would allow for a policy to maintain some balance within the UDAG fund for use on projects that may unexpectedly occur and need our financial participation. A specific percentage amount of the UDAG monies could be earmarked, somewhat in the form of a contingency, to meet one time opportunity expenses. Your policies could restrict the use of this contingency as you would see fit. 7. Another means to determine the annual appropriation of UDAG funds would be to simply have my office recommend projects in accordance with particular budget circumstances in a given year. While general policy guidance would be helpful, we would be in a position to recommend UDAG expenditures based upon the unique circumstances that exist during a particular fiscal year. 8. You also may wish to consider the accumulation of cash in the fund over a period of time if there is a specific capital improvement project that we may wish to undertake in the future. This is a policy somewhat similar to our desire to provide for a "pay as you go" wherever practical with respect to capital Improvement projects. 9. As Indicated, there is a potential for broad use of these funds for operating and capital 2 �� I projects, such as the can company loan and the RISE highway improvement project would Indicate. There are projects on the horizon that also would be appropriate for UDAG. Such examples would be: a. Construction of the water and sewer requirements to complete the Iowa City Industrial Park (BDI); b. Capital contribution, such as water and sewer or some other improvement, for the proposed First Avenue housing project; C. Some type of contribution to the work effort for the proposed sale of the last urban renewal parcel (Parcel 64-ia); d. Funding to provide support for selected human service agencies; e. Financing the downtown study; and 1. Any program similar to the CDBG fund distribution, such as housing rehabilitation. I think you will see from the above commentary, you have a wide variety of policy opportunities available to you. The current commitment of ICAD/economic development expenses I believe are Important in considering the use of these funds rather than an Increase in any expense charged against the General Fund. We are under no immediate pressure to conclude your policy discussions, and have suincient time to shape a policy that you would find satisfactory. I have scheduled this matter for your Informal meeting of Monday, March 6, bel -2 bat Y� 1 3 VG
