terms of the potential density of residential development and the likelihood

been pointed out by County officials a number of times when chipseal
surfacing has been required and the interest of the City in imposing such a
standard in more remote areas has been questioned,

Level 3, Present County local street improvement standards would be applied

County standard is a rural cross-section with 3 inches of crushed rock 22

It is likely that the urban standard (Level 1) will be applied to the first
mile of Area 5 (east of the corporate limits) and possibly to some portion of
Area 6 (south of Iowa City). Level 2, the chip seal surface, will probably
apply to the remainder of these areas and Area 3 (the river corridor -River
Heights). Level 3, crushed rock, would apply to all other areas, including
Area 4 (north of the Highlander).
Annexation policy in Area 5 and Area 6 will be discussed this summer as part
of a revision of the Fringe Agreement and as part of the update of the City's
Comprehensive Plan.

Re: Interim Policy for Application of Rural Development
Standards
The City of Iowa City, in addressing itself to the
development standards for new develapplication of
of the City
limits, but within the two mile opments application
control ed outside area, should
consider the following criteria:
I. The potential availability of City sewer service;
2. The potential for annexation within the next ten Years.
3. The consistency with the Comprehensive Plan.
Three different levels of rural street improvement standards may be
applied to subdivisions upon the determination whether or not the above
criteria is satisfied.
Lev_ el 7_ Full City standards should be applied to areas which have
immediate potential for annexation (less than ten years), This means an
urban cross-section with street construction of full depth concrete 28'
wide.
Leve 2 A minimum rural development standard for streets should be
T__
to those areas of future potential annexation (beyond ten years).
This means a rural cross section with a 611 rolled stone base and chip seal
surface 22' wide.
Level 3: Present County local street improvement standards would be
applied to those areas outside the City's area of influence. This means a
rural cross section with 3" of crushed rock 22' wide.
Pursuant to current City policy, necessary assessment waivers for public
improvements upon annexation would be required at the time of development.
A full presentation of the above recommended standards will be made at the
Council's informal meeting on Monday, April 6.

From: City Manager
Re: Local Option Sales Tax
In a rather short period of time I can expect to receive numerous requests
for information and/or data concerning the many and varied issues associ-
ated with the ballot proposition for a local sales and service option tax.
It has been my practice to prepare and provide general information, re-
gardless of an individual's opinion, concerning such ballot propositions.
There will be groups that are likely to organize in favor as well as in
opposition and it is my intent to provide general information to any of
these groups.
Unless the Council should feel differently, it is my intention to proceed
as indicated.

Re: Purchase of Insurance Package for FY88
Pursuant to your request, the following narrative explains the Risk Manage-
ment Comnittee's recommendation on the City's insurance package for FY88,
which you approved on June 25, 1987. The insurance plan that was selected
was chosen from six options. A summary of the options and the insurance
features is attached.
The Risk Management Committee chose Penco over American States (our previous
program). The decision was based on 1) Penco's higher limits of coverage
with no annual aggregate and 2) Penco's willingness to work closely with City
staff and utilize their expertise to keep costs down. Under the Penco self-
insured retention program, City staff will play an integral part in claims
management and tort litigation decisions.
The Committee has determined that the most effective insurance program would
be one with a higher level of self-insurance. Under such a program, the City
would be responsible for claims management and tort litigation. Previously
we had dollar one coverage, that is, where the insurance company provided
claims management and tort litigation services with no deductibles. The
self-insured retention program allows the City to exercise control on claims
management and tort litigation service on claims and lawsuits under $50,000.
This would provide the City more control while having the greatest potential
to stabilize costs and combat future swings in the insurance markets. The
Penco Program provides an opportunity to take the first step to establishing
self-insurance.
The Penco program offers all the advantages of a self-insurance program
combined with excess protection against individual large losses and an accu-
mulation of losses. The City would be responsible for payment of the first
$50,000 for each claim (the maximum self-insurance retention amount) up to a
total maximum amount of $475,000 for each year's losses. Over the past three
years the City's average annual losses were approximately $155,000.
The FY88 budget for liability and property insurance is sufficient to cover
the premium cost and the maximum self-insured retention costs of the Penco
program. A Loss Fund Reserve will be established from which the self-insur-
ance retention amount will be paid. Currently, the tort liability reserve
has a budgeted balance of $221,014, due to not purchasing umbrella insurance
coverage for FY87. Those monies will be the initial funding of the loss fund
reserve. The City will not actually pay out its retention amount until loss
payments are required and because many claims are actually paid over a period
of years, the City will receive interest earnings on the loss fund reserve.
1/a6
2
Any unused portion of the loss fund and interest earnings will be used to
increase the reserve, which could enable the City o expand its self-insur-
ance program, and thereby further reducing premium
s.
The Penco program provides a higher level of coverage ($2 million as opposed
to $1 million). A $1,000,000 umbrella was available for the American States
Program at an additional annual cost of $130,000. This would have increased
the total premium cost to $813,665 as compared to Penco's premium of
$545,181. Higher coverage levels are not available which requires the City to
be self-insured above $2 million.
The insurance market is softening slightly and premium costs have stabilized.
Last year actual premium costs for the American States Program were $690,677.
City staff is enthusiastic about the Penco program since it provides both an
increased coverage amount and the opportunity for the City to develop is
insurance/risk management program in a manner which should minimize future
insurance costs. Please contact me with any questions.

Franklin explained land was set aside when Southwest Estates Part One was
subdivided for future dedication of a portion of Phoenix Drive when land
to the north was developed,
Rural Development Standards:
Reel 87-C35, Side 1
Franklin reviewed the proposed development standards for subdivisions in the
extraterritorial jurisdiction as outlined in her June 25, 1987, memo to the
related gtonanticipatednannexation Fofnland;raklinsthee
tatcurrenthe trstandardsarequiredra
chipseal surface regardless if the area is anticipated for annexation; and
the Board of Supervisors have expressed that chipseal surface is not neces-
sary in areas within the two mile extraterritorial jurisdiction where the
City does not anticipate annexation. Franklin stated the proposed standards
contain three levels: Level 1 - anticipated annexation in less than five
years; Level 2 - anticipated annexation in five to ten years; and Level 3 -
all other areas within the two mile extraterritorial fringe. Franklin stated
the Planning and Zoning Commission added that all telephone and utility
service lines located in Level 1 areas should be underground and in Level 3,
the crushed rock put on roads should be six inches instead of three inches.
Franklin said the Johnson County Zoning Commission will consider the proposed
standards at the next meeting and the Johnson County Board of Supervisors
have already looked at the standards.
In response to Dickson, Franklin explained the urban design standards would
be required in Level 1 because the anticipated annexation within five years.
Franklin stated some members of the Board of Supervisors objected to the
chipseal requirement for areas that were not anticipated for annexation
because they thought it was an undue burden on people developing the area.
In response to McDonald, Franklin said the City will need to look very care-
fully at the anticipated annexation areas and there could still be a two
tiered policy where urban design standards would be applied to the first mile
of the two mile extraterritorial jurisdiction and chipseal standards to the
second mile. Council agreed the proposed standards should be referred to the
fringe area committee for consideration.
Fee Study;
Reel 87-C35, Side 1
Vitosh stated Council received her July 22, 1987, memo regarding 1987 fee
study. Courtney inquired about the mechanical permit fee. Vitosh explained
the proposed fee schedule separates residential and commercial permits; the
fee was set similar to other housing permits; and the fee is tied to the
value of the work that is being inspected. Courtney raised concerns about
doubling fees. Vitosh noted fees had not been reviewed on an annual basis in
the past. Courtney stated the infant interment fee should not be increased.
Vitosh explained the fees were tied to what the actual costs were to provide
that service. Council agreed the infant interment fee should not be
increased. Vitosh said resolutions related to the fee changes will be pre-
pared.
Susan Horowitz suggested City boards and commissions review the fee schedule.
Atkins stated City boards and commissions could be asked to review the fee
schedule on an annual basis during the budget process.
