Commission: (deferred from Council meeting of December 17,
1985)
(1) That $335 be allocated from the FY86 budget to assist
in co -sponsoring the Access Iowa City/National Federa-
tion of Local Cable Programmers regional conference to

(2) The BTC strongly recommends that Council take action on
the matter of the 5% franchise fee/NPO. This matter is
in the Legal Department. -
c. Consider recommendations of the Committee on Community
Needs: (deferred from Council meeting of December 17, 1985)
(1) CCN recommends that a portion of the 1986 CDBG funding
contingency be used for unfunded projects and that the
City Council authorize the CCN to consider and make
recommendations on the unfunded.projects as well as new
projects at its January meeting.
Comment: On October 18, 1985, the CCN forwarded its
recommendations for 1986 CDBG funded projects to the
City Cobncil which included a contingency fund of
$36,600. The City Council reviewed the CCN recommenda-
tions and adopted the final CDBG budget on November 19,
1985. However, the City Council eliminated one of the
CCN recommended projects and increased the contingency
fund to $110,240. The CCN would like Council's au-
thorization to review the unfunded project requests as
well as new projects at its January, 1986 meeting and
make recommendations to forward to the City Council. A
complete discussion of this recommendation is contained
in the November 19, 1985; CCN meeting minutes. The
City Council may wish to defer action on this recommen-
dation until the 1986 grant is awarded by HUD and the
final grant amount is known. (Please refer to a memo-
randum from the Planning staff which has been added to

(2) CCN the revolving loan ends afu fund conceptCand cthat il CCN is willing
to assist the City Council.
Comment: This fall, the CCN received a request for
$300,000 in CDBG funds for the purpose of developing
and administering an economic development revolving
loan fund. The purpose of the fund would be to in-
crease employment opportunities within Iowa City,
especially for low- and moderate -income residents, and
to expand the tax base. Although the CCN expressed
support for the concept, they felt that the proposal
lacked specificity, for example targeting methods and
performance standards for job creation. At its Novem-
ber 19, 1985, meeting, the CCN expressed an interest in
pursuing the development of the revolving loan fund
concept for a possible request for the 1987 CDBG pro-
gram year. A detailed discussion of this recomeenda-

Comment: In FY84 Iowa City Transit received $111,407 inter-

operating funds. Funds were intended by the Iowa Legislature to
be an advance of the following year's federal transit operating
funds. Iowa City accepted the loan as a show of interest to the
legislature regarding transit funding programs. The repayment
deadline was later extended to FY89. Iowa DOT has now requested
a specific repayment plan for these funds, indicating the source
of the repayment funds and date of repayment. Council action on
this matter is required by Iowa DOT. The Director of Finance
