All telephone and electric utilities service lines shall be underground. Level 2. A minimum rural development standard for streets should be applied to those areas fo future potential annexation (5 to 10 years). This entails a rural cross-section with a 6 inch compacted stone base and chip seal surface 22 feet wide. Level 3. Present County local street improvement standards would be applied to a77 -other areas within the two-mile fringe of Iowa City.

The current County standard is a rural cross-section with 3 inches of crushed rock 22 feet wide. 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. bjl/3 .1. City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: April 3, 1981 To: City Cou From: Doug Boothr 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. cc: Neal Berlin Don Schmeiser bc6/5 Chuck Schmadeke .a• City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM = Date: July 22, 1987 I To; City Council From: Rosemary i y Vitosh, Director of FinanceQ\f� I Re: 1987 Fee Study At the July 13, 1987, informal Council meetin iconcerning the following fees: 9, Council raised questions 1.

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.

Resolution to acre t the dedication of a portion of Phoenix Drive it --2wes, s a es rdrt une. 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.
