Moen stated the Fringe Area 6 policy encourages agricultural use for this particular area but that unreasonable and would not contradict the staff feels the request is not intentions of the Area 6 policy because the area is isolated from the adjacent agriculturally zoned land and is adjacent to a sizeable Highway Commercial -zoned property.

Nowysz explained the Plaza Minipark design takes into consideration criteria established by the renovation of the Paul -Helen Building, City staff and committees involved in determining the use of the park. The design of the park provides for a large gathering area, an intimate seating area, and continuation of the existing mall. Nowysz referred Councilmembers to design drawings of the Paul -Helen Building and Plaza Mini - park. Nowysz stated tuckpointing, cleaning and resalvaging of the brick is being done on the Paul -Helen Building facade, the entrance to the Paul -Helen Building will remain as previously proposed, and an archway salvaged from the University of Iowa Old Armory will be used at the entryway into the building. Nowysz presented details regarding the design of the minipark. Nowysz explained criteria used in the design of the minipark were the east of mainte- nance, watering and maintenance of planters, and matching the existing mall. Nowysz stated the area should be considered a -gateway into downtown Iowa City and the kiosk in the existing mall presents a blockage to that gateway. In response to Zuber, Nowysz said estimated costs for the minipark is $143,900 and it would cost an additional $17,000 to move the kiosk. In response to Baker, Nowysz said the north end of the minipark is open to allow people to cut through the minipark. McDonald inquired about the construction timetable. Nowysz said the minipark could be set up for spring construction and would take three to four months to complete. Rockwell said the project could be bid out in February and that Project GREEN received information regarding the design of the park. Paul -Helen Building Facade Reel 86-C82, Side 2 Nowysz presented the design and information regarding the renovation of the Paul -Helen Building. In response to questions from Councilmembers, Nowysz said upper floors of the Paul -Helen Building will be accessible from the north entrance, there is a new stairway and elevator in the building, and the brick on the west facade of the building may need to be stained to match the new brick. A Project GREEN representative asked Nowysz to research the installa- tion of a working underground watering system. The Project GREEN representa- tive also raised concerns about the lack of available funding for maintenance and plant replacement in the entire downtown Plaza area. Courtney noted he has been in contact with the management of the Dain -Bosworth building regarding work on that building. Handicapped Children's Park Reel 86-C82, Side 2 Gary Kiebl, Board of Directors of Handicare Inc., explained Handicare is a nonprofit daycare for preschool children and asked Council to consider the proposal to develop a public park. Kiebl said he has met with the Planning and Zoning Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, and City Engineering staff. Kiebl requested approval from City Council to proceed with the design of the park. In response to Ambrisco, Kiebl said to has a ten year lease with St. Patrick's Church and has 'just completed the first year of that lease. Ann Riley, director of Handicare, Inc., stated the preschool is licensed for 60 children and the equivalent of 58 full-time positions are being used. Riley Informal Council Meeting December 15, 1986 Page 4 noted the proposed park and equipment could also be used by elderly. Kiebl said Patrick'aProject s Churrh, has written tten a letter endorsing the has been contacted. eproject. Father Benda, St. Parks and Recreation Foundation Reel 86-C84, Side 1 Craig Willis stated Council received copies of the articles of incorporation and bylaws for the proposed Iowa City Parks and Recreation Foundation. Willis stated the Foundation will allow citizens to contribute and raogift catalog needed will be developed and coordinated by staff that will identify priority items by the Parks and Recreation program. The Foundation will serve to channel the charitable impulses of Iowa Citians. Willis said the Foundation may be eligi- ble for grants. Willis noted that Mary Weideman and Daryl Henry should be recognized for their efforts to establish the Foundation. In response to Zuber, Willis explained the Parks and Recreation Foundation will be similar to the Library Foundation in structure but will be different in its marketing approach. Baker stated the Parks and Recreation articles of incorporation and bylaws should be reviewed by the City's Legal Department. Baker inquired about 6.2. regarding Board of Director member the Articles of Incorporation, Article ship, and the legal responsibility of the Foundation and Iowa City in lawsuits. Baker asked what is the Foundation's Board of Directors power to enter into lawsuits or acquire property without the review of the City Council. Willis stated that Article 6.2. was deliberately non-specific. Timmins stated the City's umbrella of liability coverage would not extend to an independent foun- dation; and the foundation would have to ensure itself. Willis said work to establish the Parks and Recreation Foundation began in 1984 and this discussion re sserves to inorm Council hould be anf faccountancy ofothe ut tFounhe proposed t Foundation uthe atCity may be ablns e to provide some accounting service. Swimming Pool Status Update Reel 86-C84, Side 1 Zuber complained that Council did not receive the proposed 28E Agreement from the Iowa City School Board. Helling stated staff just received a copy of the proposed 28E agreement from the Iowa City School Board and it is being reviewed by City staff. A copy of that agreement and staff comments will be forwarded to Councilmembers. Ambrisco said the 28E Agreement should be analyzed in detail. Courtney stated the last joint pool committee meeting included discus - Bions with the School Board and he had asked the Board to address issues re- lated to cost sharing percentages, liability insurance, and supervisors. Courtney said the School Board elected to formally vote on and present thesCity with the complete 28E Agreement. Courtney recommended: 1) P lar agreement, vote on it and send it to the School Board, or 2) make recommen- dations to staff and begin negotiating on a smaller facility, or 3) develop a pool facility without the school district. Council agreed with Ambrisco's recommendation to have the City Attorney and Assistant City Manager review the School Board's proposed 2BE Agreement and present information to the Council. Council requested staff to schedule a Council meeting for December 23 to dis- cuss that information.

City is still unsure if this clause should be included in the agreement. Part 3. paragraph 5 - line item budget (Exhibit C) and cost share items. There is still disagreement regarding the cost sharing of some items. Randy Jordison would like to discuss the cashier/supervisor job descrip— tions.

Courtney noted the mutual agreement will require a change from the City's original draft. Liability insurance. The City and School District do not have an agreement on the liability insurance. Courtney suggested that the City and School District meet with an expert on insurance to resolve the liability insurance question. Courtney noted that both the School District and City are willing to bind themselves to the decisions made by the insurance expert. In response to Baker, Courtney stated that the School District's insurance includes straight liability for school activities and does not cover the design liability, construction liability and maintenance liability of the pool. Courtney noted the total estimated cost of liability for the swimming facility is $13,920 and is based on the anticipated revenues received. Courtney stated a meeting will be scheduled between January 1 and January 6, 1987 for members representing the City Council and School District to discuss the 28E Agreement. Strait inquired about the indemnity or hold harmless clause in the 28E Agreement. Courtney explained the letter to indemnify would not be recog— nized by the School District's insurance company. In response to Baker, Courtney stated the insurance expert would review both the City's and School District's insurance coverage. Baker noted concerns regarding lawsuits involving design liability. Courtney and Ambrisco noted that both the School District and City Council have made progress on the 28E Agreement. Courtney noted that a special Council meeting may be needed to vote on the 28E Agreement. City Attorney Timmins raised concerns if work on the agreement is to be done by January 6.
