the property is located in Area 1 of the Fringe Area Policy Agreement
and the property meets the requirements of the City -Rural Design
Standards. Moen noted the Planning and Zoning Commission approved an
exception to those standards allowing a 50 foot right-of-way. In
response to Dickson, Moen said septic systems and individual wells
will be installed on each of the three lots. Ambrisco inquired about
the subdivision fees charged by the County. Franklin explained the
fees charged by the City for review in the County are the same as what
the City charges for review in the City. In response to Strait, Moen
said deficiencies relating to the type of surface of road have been
remedied. Moen said all deficiencies and discrepancies identified by
City staff have been resolved.
•-•• -e v -"� tunmm
tuning commission recommended, on a
vote 6-0, that Council present a finding to the Johnson County Board
of Supervisors that the subject rezoning is consistent with the newly
amended Area 4 Policy. Beagle reported the Planning and Zoning Com-
mission found two inconsistencies with this request with the newly
amended policy of Area 4: 1) legal description submitted for the five
individual sites identified parcels which were less than three acres
in size; and 2) the County Zoning Ordinance should be amended to make
revisions for a new zone which permits residential development at a
lot density of one dwelling unit per three acres. Beagle said the
Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that any rezoning action
within Area 4 be deferred pending resolution of the discrepancies.
Beagle noted that the legal descriptions for the five three -acre home
sites have been revised and the lots now meet the minimum three acre
requirement. Franklin stated the recommendation is not for Council to
defer this item, but for Council to advise the Board of Supervisors
that they defer any action on th
the e rezoning until the discrepancy in
Zoning Ordinance is taken care of. In response to Ambrisco,
Franklin explained the County charges for rezoning by the area, the
City utilizes a flat fee for rezoning actions regardless of the size
of the area involved, and the City does not charge a fee for County
rezoning.
CORALVILLE MILLDAM STUDY:
Reel 87-C14, Side 1
Tom Hayden, Shive-Hattery engineer representative, noted Council members
received a new Coralville Milldam H droelectric Pro ect Preliminar Feasi-
bility Report w e nc u e c anges relating o e a u a on o revenue
and expenses summaries (page 12 and 12A of the report).
Hayden reviewed sections of the report as follows:
COMPARISON OF SYSTEMS - page 3
Open bidding up to multiple types of turbines based on suppliers' bids
for cost of equipment and establish an estimation of power produc-
tion.

PROJECT SIZING, OUTPUT AND COST - page 5
Estimate that the project would generate 3.5 million kilowatt hours
per year and Iowa City's water treatment plant uses 4.1 to 4.4 million
kilowatt hours per year.
Estimate project costs in 1989 dollars at $2 million.
POWER SALES AND CREDIT - page 7
Power sales and credit contract with Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric
Company is a good agreement and favorable to Iowa City.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS - page 9
Project is feasible under wide range of scenarios.
TABULATION OF REVENUES AND EXPENSE SUMMARIES - page 12 and 12A
Benefit/cost ratio greater than one indicates the City would receive
more than one dollar for every one dollar invested - a feasible pro-
ject and a benefit/cost ratio less than one indicates a non -feasible
project.
Based on bond interest rates, there is not a large difference between i
revenue and GO bonds. I
Power purchase escalation rate is the inflation rate for the purchase I
of power.
Energy Resource institute indicates for the next 20 years it is ex-
pected the retail rate of power purchase rates will increase 1 and
1-1/2% to 2% per year greater than general inflation rate and the
Department of Energy is estimating 1/4% per year greater than the
general inflation rate.
JOHNSON COUNTY CONSERVATION BOARD - page 13
Preliminary permit with Federal Regulatory Commission was extended
because of the negotiations of the agreement with the Iowa -Illinois
Gas & Electric Company.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW - page 15
Principal issues are fish migration and fish mortality passing through
turbines.
There are extensive licensing requirements to satisfy concerns and
questions of the resource agencies including the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, and USEPA.

PROJECT SCHEDULE - page 18
Anticipated project would be started and on-line by 1990.
Hayden said the project is viable from a financial standpoint. Hayden
stated that if the City decides to proceed with the project, three areas
should be initiated: 1) FERC licensing process, 2) discussions with
Johnson County Conservation Board, and 3) refinement of the project costs
and purchase of properties.
In response to Courtney, Hayden said the final design and letting of
contracts for construction is the major costs and issues that could cause
the greatest problems are environmental issues. Hayden noted that an
endangered muscle species had been found in the Iowa River in the 1970's
and, therefore, a muscle survey would be necessary. Ambrisco asked Atkins
about financing the project. Atkins stated the project would need to be
financed by selling a debt. Hayden said water revenue bonds could be used
and water revenues would be used to abate those bonds. Hayden said the
key to financing the project will be related to the inflation rate of the
retail purchasing of electric energy. In response to Courtney, Hayden said
the cost models in the report include operation, maintenance, replacement
of equipment and materials, and estimates a 50 year plant life. In re-
sponse to Ambrisco, City Manager Atkins said he and staff have only made a
cursory review of the preliminary feasibility report. Council agreed with
Ambrisco's recommendation that staff prepare a report for Council review
before decisions about the milldam are made. Atkins stated staff will
prepare a report for Council before the next informal Council meeting.
MERCER PARK SWIMMING POOL SCHEDULE/CITY PARK POOL REPAIRS
Reel 874,14, Side 1
Kevin Monson, representing Neumann -Monson, presented Council with south
and north elevation plans of the structure and floor plans of the proposed
swimming pool project. In response to questions from Council members,
Monson said exterior materials for the pool will be glass and brick, City
Park pool repairs will probably be bid out late July so construction can
begin after the closing of the swimming season, and the City Park pool
repair and proposed swimming pool facility bids were separated because of
the difference and size of the projects.
ADDITIONAL SEATS FUNDING Reel 87-C14, Sides 1 & 2
Lundell stated there is not any relationship between the decrease in the
Iowa City Transit ridership and the increase in SEATS ridership. Lundell
explained the increase in SEATS ridership is due to the convenience,
increased use by businesses whose clients are handicapped and general
overall growth in the number of handicapped persons living in this commu-
nity.
Lundell
said the 1300rbased

tions

Manager, said SEATS operates seven days a week in the Iowa City urban area
and persons eligible for SEATS service can call the SEATS office before
1:00 p.m, the day before a ride is needed to schedule that ride. Olson

said SEATS office is closed on Saturdays and Sundays and therefore people
need to call in on Friday to schedule rides for Saturday, Sunday and
Monday. Zuber said SEATS service is valuable in this community and sug-
gested making a supplemental appropriation for this year only. Olson said
ridership has increased because use by persons in wheelchairs has
increased, agencies working with handicapped persons have made those

COUNCIL TIME/AGENDA: Reel 87-C14, Side 2
1. (Agenda Item No. 22 - Sidewalk Assessments) Strait noted Council -
members received Frank Farmer's March 5, 1987, memo regarding billings
for sidewalk repair.
2. Dickson asked for information about the Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric
aid program as it relates to obtaining contributions from the public
for the transit system. In response to Dickson, Atkins stated he has
requested information from Tom Hoogerwerf, District Manager of
Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric.
3. (Agenda Item No. 25 - Plaza Use Permits.) In response to Courtney,
Timmins said the only item proposed for amendment is that dealing with
Item E - Insurance and Indemnity. Regarding newspaper vending ma-
chines, Timmins stated the Legal Department has an ordinance which has
been approved for use in Des Moines and it is acceptable to newspaper
companies in Des Moines, including Gannett News. Timmins noted that
ordinance will be presented to Council with staff recommendations.
4. (Agenda Item No. 20 - Changes in Fare Structure and Service Level of
the Iowa City Transit.) In response to Courtney, Council agreed
action on Agenda Item No. 20 should take place before Agenda Item No.
18 - the resolution adopting the budget.
5. Ambrisco stated the Melrose Bridge Improvements as scheduled in the
FY88 CIP should not be done during the University of Iowa football
season. Schmadeke said he would try to schedule the project so it
does not interfere with football game day traffic.
6. (Agenda Item No. 20 - Changes in Fare Structure and Service Level of
the Iowa City Transit.) McDonald stated he will talk about this item
during the Council's formal meeting.

options within 60 days.
NORTH SIDE HISTORIC PRESERVATION DISTRICT BOUNDARIES: Reel 86-C14, Side 2
Zuber suggested City staff prepare an easy -to -read informational document
and questionnaire to be sent to residents in the North Side Historic
Preservation District and that every effort should be made to inform
residents about the proposed North Side Historic Preservation District.
Franklin stated staff has tried to notify residents, utilizing records
from the City Assessor's Office and asked Councilmembers to forward the
names and addresses of residents who have contacted them to staff. In
response to McDonald, Franklin said revisions to the proposed North Side
Historic Preservation District would need to go back to the Historic i
Preservation Commission and Planning and Zoning Commission for review.
Franklin noted a brochure had been developed and was sent to all persons
in the North Side Area in 1983.
Courtney inquired about the use of aluminum siding in the Historic Preser-
vation District. Franklin explained that when the Historic Preservation
Commission reviews rental rehabilitation projects, they advise that if
siding is to be used it is of the same width lap as the original wood.
Franklin said anything that does not require some type of regulated permit
will not be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission and painting
and aluminum siding do not require a regulated permit.
In response to Ambrisco, Franklin stated that previous notifications to
residents were sent by bulk rate first-class mail. McDonald stated he
would like to review the informational letter before it is sent out to
area residents. Franklin said once informational material is sent out to
residents a follow-up notice could be sent out regarding Historic Preser-
vation Commission and City Council public hearing dates. Franklin said
Council will need to hold a public hearing if the proposed North Side
Historic District is adopted with revisions. Franklin said any change
would be sent back to the State for review and any substantial changes
would require the Historic Preservation Commission to hold another public
hearing and notify all property owners.

Atkins summarized that the goal of the Council is to have a brochure to
simply inform residents what historic preservation is all about and to
notify all residents within the boundaries of the currently proposed North
Side Historic Preservation District.
McDonald proposed that the vacant land and two RM -145 properties be de-
leted from the proposed North Side Historic Preservation District.
Councilmembers Strait, Ambrisco, and Baker agreed with McDonald's pro-
posal. Courtney stated the North Side Historic District should be tried on
a much smaller basis than what is currently proposed. Dickson stated the
North Side Historic District boundaries should be set as originally pro-
posed by the Historic Preservation Commission. Franklin said at tomor-
row's formal Council meeting, Council should defer the item back to the
Historic Preservation Commission with the recommendations to delete the
RM -145 properties and undeveloped tract.
In response to Franklin, Ambrisco said the informational letter should be
sent postcardbeass included mail. with the Atkins informational letter self-addressedested a returnable

Charlie Grunewald stated opponents and proponents of the proposed North
Side Historic District should be present to open and count the responses
received from the North Side residents. Dwight Finken said a majority of
the residents do not want the North Side Historic District and property
owners need more time to consider the facts involved with the proposed
districting.
