Good afternoon,
Please see attached notes from the CIT/Crisis Services discussion on 2/24/16. As requested, I have also included the
data sets that San Antonio collects.
If you were unable to attend on the 24th and would like to participate in one of the 4 workgroups (CIT LE training,
Sobering Unit, Behavioral Health Access Center, Low -Barrier Shelter), please let me know.
Stay tuned for next large stakeholder meeting date and time.

Access Center)
3. CIT (Crisis Intervention Team) training for law enforcement (and expand to first responders)
4. Low -Barrier Shelter
IV. Small Groups (Sobering Unit, CIT, Behavioral Health Access Center, Low Barrier Shelter)
5 questions:
1. What is already in place/process?
2. What is the vision of when the goal is achieved?
3. What resources are needed?
4. Who needs to be involved?
5. What are possible next steps?
Notes below are from small group work

• Low -barrier (overflow) winter shelter
• Shelter = de facto sobering center
• Lots of sectors see benefit
2. What is the vision of when the goal is achieved?
• Police quick drop
• No ticket if compliant
• About safety—treatment is secondary
• Free up ER
3. What resources are needed?
• Change in intox laws and sentencing guidelines, liability for police
• Staffing (EMT, PA, RN, rotations for residents?)

4. Who needs to be involved?

• How long are officers tied up?
• Workgroup (Ron Berg)
2. MENTAL HEALTH DIVERSION / CRISIS STABILIZATION (Behavioral Health ER)
1. What is already in place/process?
a. 2 stabilization beds—Core Plus

• Psychiatric access (telemedicine)
• Access beds for short-term and for long-term crisis stabilization
• Peer support

• LE Academy provides 8 hours Mental Health First Aid
• Have buy -in from LE chiefs
• Mobile crisis team in place
• Relationship with San Antonio CIT training
2. What is the vision of when the goal is achieved?
• All LE trained (in SA, they have 95%), additional people trained—first responders (fire,
EMS), front-line, red jackets
• Expand CIT and have plain clothed mental health unit (similar to San Antonio)
• Free training
• collaboration will increase
3. What resources are needed?
• cover officer, 2 -person teams
• determine whether reassigning or adding more staff is needed
• tools, materials and options

• Possibly apply for grants
• Jessica meet with chiefs (discussion—how to build, who's involved, create
subcommittees)
• Meet with all municipalities (City Councils) to inform of plans and activities

• Winter overflow shelter (5 pm -8 am for about 3 months)
• Collaboration—shelter staff has experience with law enforcement
• Some data points, but not enough
2. What is the vision of when the goal is achieved?
• Permanent, 12 -month, 24-hour shelter with dedicated security, that is tied to CIT, driven
by the community (not led by shelter), appropriate location
• Housing first in place
• All stakeholders involved and invested
• Uniform data
3. What resources are needed?

hospitals, UI, United Way, NAMI, judiciary

• Identify and secure location
• Clearly articulate the intention/goal
• Develop timeline/strategic plan
• Explore campus concept
• Develop a message, build support
• Workgroup (Crissy Canganelli)
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE/STILL NEED TO ADDRESS
• Determine what data needs to be collected and how to collect it, build on current data (JECC,
Iowa City tracks how long officers spend in ER, UIHC tracks behavioral health/financial)
• Build a community needs assessment (what do we need, how big)
• CIT training
o Build a plan for local CIT
0 3 more this year, 18 slots, 30 observer slots determine who we need to be there (select
officers who are engaging, comfortable teaching)
o County would pay for SA trainers to come up to conduct officers who can be trainers
o Jessica is central point for scheduling training (in SA) and prioritization
• Mental Health & You app (on next agenda for mental health region)
• Collect, summarize and disseminate information about where we are & where we're going
• Work groups meet within one month (by March 24)
o Jessica Peckover (Jail Alternatives) will serve as hub for the 4 workgroups
o LEADS FOR WORK GROUPS: Chrissy Canganelli (Shelter), Ron Berg (Sobering Unit) Steve
Dolezal (CIT), Levi Kannedy (Access Center)
o Identify data needed, what is already collected, where are we spending money, how
much are hospital bills, who is getting paid (or not paid), how much time do officers
spend in ER that could be better spent elsewhere
• Big group meet again in 2 months
• Need a six-month goal
• One rep from each of the four groups—need one big table—form a work group
• Meet with each of the LE agencies to communicate and get everyone up to speed before coming
back together as big group
• Each workgroup should plan on summary presentation if there are going to be people there who
haven't bought in yet
0 Jessica wants officers who have gone to training to give input on developing our CIT training
• Add general benchmark (present to various funding entities by mid-December)
• Current funding processes already complete; may have funding for first training from ECR
• Scalability: What is our scalability in relation to SA model, scalable to our population; we have
higher population of students than SA
• Strategic collaboration/collective impact with decision makers
INITIAL NEXT STEPS
4 workgroups will meet before end of March
Large group will reconvene in April or May

Another collaborative project, the Kirkwood Regional Center at The University of Iowa,
also opened and welcomed over 160 students from the Iowa City Community School District.
The regional center is a true partnership among seven school districts, The University of
Iowa, and Kirkwood Community College, collaborating to bring new opportunities to their
students in a different way.
The Kirkwood Regional Center allows the Iowa City School District'sjunfors and seniors > -
a chance to earn both college and high school credit in innovative career based academi
through a college based experience. The regional center offers over 20 different career `.
academy options ranging from computer -software development, patient -care, architecture,
construction, engineering, and laboratory sciences.
Students participating in these academies will acquire certifications that help them become
better positioned for post -secondary success and immediately marketable to employers after
their high school experience. Some of the certifications include A+, Emergency Medical
Technician (EMT), Pharmacy Technician, Computer Numeric Control (CNC), Snap -on
Shopkey, and Welding.
Academy classes at the Kirkwood Regional Center are offered 7:30-9,00am and 1:30-3pm.
Transportation for students is provided by the Iowa City Community School District. In
addition to academies, the center provides one-hour companion courses before and after
academy sessions. One notable course is the STEM Innovator course that allows students to
work with local business professionals on solutions to real-world problems using innovative
ideas and problem solving skills.
The Kirkwood Regional Center at the University of Iowa takes the partnership philosophy even
farther serving as a hub for teaching and learning in the corridor. The Iowa Workplace Learning
Connection, Iowa College Access Network, Southeast Iowa STEM Hub, Grant Wood Area
Education Agency, and University of Iowa College of Education all have offices on-site.
The Iowa City Community School District is excited to be a part of this vibrant and engaging learning
experience for our students. Additional information about the Kirkwood Regional Center at the

Student Proficiency Rates I Student Success
Schools in the Iowa City Community School
District use the Iowa Assessments (IA) as an
accountability and improvement measure in
reading and math for grades 3-8 and 11. While
scores can be reported in multiple ways, the No
Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation requires
that schools report proficiency rates.
To be considered proficient, a student must score
at a specific national standard score or higher, on
the Iowa Assessments. The table below indicates
the percent of students who scored proficient
during the 2014-15 school year in reading and
mathematics by grade level bands.

No Child Left Behind requires that districts disaggregate achievement data by the different student subgroups in grade
level bands. The purpose of doing this is to track progress on closing the achievement gap between the different groups
of students.

To: Tom Markus, City Manager
Geoff Fruin, Assistant City Manager
From: Karen Jennings, Human Resources Administrator
Sam Hargadine, Police Chief
Re: Increasing the Racial/Ethnic Diversity in the Candidate Pool for the Iowa City Police
Department
During the January budget work sessions, City Council requested information regarding the
City's efforts to increase the diversity of the Iowa City Police Department. Recognizing the
value and importance a diverse workforce plays in providing quality municipal service to the
residents of Iowa City, the Iowa City Police Department (ICPD) and the Human Resources
Division have collaborated and partnered on specific efforts to recruit candidates for several
years.
Background:
Chapter 400.8 of the Iowa Code mandates that the Civil Service Commission shall hold exams
which are practical in character and which will fairly test the mental and physical ability of the
applicant to discharge the duties of the position. The Iowa Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) is
the agency responsible for the certification of law enforcement officers in the state of Iowa.
ILEA has established successful completion of both the Police Officer Selection Test (POST)
and the ILEA pre-employment physical test regimen as prerequisites for entrance to ILEA. For
this reason, most law enforcement agencies in the state, including the ICPD, utilize these
exams as their civil service entrance exams.
In 2008, Human Resources staff conducted a follow-up survey upon the conclusion of a
recruitment and testing process to seek candidate feedback on their referral source, the
application process, testing process and schedule, and the quality of informational materials
provided explaining the process and requirements. The feedback provided through this survey
informed several modifications in the next testing process and the continued evaluation and
expansion of advertising and outreach efforts. A similar survey has been utilized to solicit
candidate feedback in each subsequent recruitment cycle. As a result, numerous modifications
to advertising and outreach efforts and the application, testing, and hiring process have been
implemented in recent years.
Discussion:
The City's ongoing efforts to identify and capitalize on opportunities to promote employment with
the ICPD to a more diverse audience and to cultivate relationships with African American/Black
and Hispanic/Latino youth have resulted in an expansion of efforts beyond the traditional
avenues that had been used to advertise Police Officer employment opportunities. These efforts
have included use of a variety of media including print ads, online advertisements, social media,
email distribution through a variety of sources, distribution of recruitment posters, and
participation in recruitment and youth programming events. For example, the City's most recent
Police Officer recruitment was held in 2014 and included the following efforts:
February 26, 2016
Page 2
• Recruitment posters sent to 53 historically Black colleges and universities and 45 area
colleges and universities with criminal justice programs, 73 eastern Iowa organizations
related to fitness, cultural and diversity groups, veterans, student groups, and area Iowa
Workforce Development offices, 80 local places of worship representing many faiths and
religions, and placed in Iowa City Transit buses.
A combination of print and online advertisements were placed both locally and in
communities with higher racial and ethnic makeups including the Iowa City Press
Citizen, Cedar Rapids Gazette, Omaha World Herald, Minnesota Star Tribune, St. Louis
Post -Dispatch, and the Waterloo -Cedar Falls Courier. Advertisements were also placed
online with Career Builder, Corridor Careers, QCEmployme, International Association of
Police Chiefs, officer.com, The Blue Line, IOS Recruitment, Public Safety Jobs, Law
Enforcement Jobs, Simply Hired, and Kirkwood Community College career services.
Email notifications to 533 individuals who requested to be placed on the City's mailing
list for Police Officer recruitment notification.
• Recruitment posted on the City's website with notification sent to subscribers of the
City's e -subscription service, Facebook, Twitter, the Iowa City Patch and distributed to
City neighborhood associations and the list serve maintained by the State Department of
Human Rights Office on the Status of African Americans in Iowa.
• General City recruitment posters placed in City facilities with high public use including
City Hall Lobby and Human Resources Office, Iowa City Public Library, Iowa City Police
Substation, Robert A Lee Recreation Center, Mercer Park Aquatic Center, East Side
Recycling Center, City Hall Revenue Division.
In addition to advertisement and recruitment efforts, the City has worked with local groups
committed to providing opportunities to diverse populations. The City is a sponsor of Diversity
Focus which is a corridor non-profit that works on recruitment and retention of diverse
populations for major companies and local governments. The City has also worked with the
Dream Center which is a nonprofit, volunteer driven organization that offers transformational
programming to individuals of all socio-economic backgrounds with an emphasis on youth
development. ICPD partnered with the Iowa City Fire Department, Johnson County Ambulance
Services, Diversity Focus, The Dream Center, and Learning for Life in the development of a
Youth Explorer program. This program started with a recruitment effort on March 25, 2015 and
proceeded throughout the remainder of the year with selection of participants, monthly
meetings, and a Youth Academy with several youth of color participating in orientation meetings
and one active participant. The program offers open enrollment throughout the year.
Other outreach efforts have included:
• In September 2015, the Department's Neighborhood Resource Officer began partnering
with Kirkwood Community College's Criminal Justice program providing instruction and
insight on various topics.
• On October 1, 2015, the Chief participated in a Career Roundtable Event on the
University of Iowa's campus for Criminology which was attended by a diverse group of
students. This is a new field being offered by the Sociology department.
In November 2015 the Captain of Field Operations and Sergeant assigned to
Investigations attended a one day recruitment seminar that provided instruction to
persons interested in testing for Police Officer on how to apply and interview. This
mentoring model was used in the Department's last hiring process for a more diverse
candidate.
February 26, 2016
Page 3
Human Resources staff participated in the Building Blocks to Employment Job Fair in
2014 and 2015, providing information on the City's application and hiring process to a
diverse group of participants.
Ongoing efforts to streamline processes with the goal of minimizing barriers to employment,
simplifying the process, giving the highest number of qualified candidates possible the
opportunity to interview with the hiring team, and minimizing candidate time and travel
necessary to participate in the testing and hiring process, have resulted in several modifications
to the application testing and hiring process since 2009 (spanning three testing cycles).

Next test cycle
• Replaced IPMA written exam with POST. Candidates with current
passing scores on file with testing company eligible to proceed
directly to fitness testing phase without being required to take the
POST with Iowa City.
• Prior practice of limiting candidate pool following written test to the
candidates with 75 top written test scores was eliminated.
• POST, physical fitness test, and MMPI (psychological exam) all
administered on one day, eliminating the second day of travel for out
of town candidates.
• Replaced paper application form with online application.
• Administration of MMPI (psychological exam) completed in
conjunction with post -offer physical exam. This shortened the test
day and eliminated unnecessary completion of the exam for
candidates who were not ultimately offered employment.
• Online application replaced with City's standard Munis online
employment application
o Eliminated questions related to criminal backgrounds, prior
Civil Service Commission appeals or civil lawsuits, and prior
employment disciplinary history.
• Driving record review delayed until pre -offer background rather than
utilized as pre-screening tool.
• Accepted documentation of successful completion of ILEA pre-
employment physical from another Iowa law enforcement agency to
satisfy Iowa City's physical fitness testing requirement.
• Increased focus on candidate POST preparation
o POST study guides will be available for onsite candidate
review in City's Human Resources office
o For candidates wishing to purchase study guides or online
practice exams offered by testing company, information will
be included in candidate information materials.
• Informational brochure outlining the testing/hiring process, answering
frequently asked questions and including tips for success will be
made available on the City's website and from Human Resources.
Overall, our increased focus on outreach and process refinement beginning in 2009 have
resulted in higher numbers of applications received, candidates eligible to participate in the Civil
Service testing process, and candidates hired as a result of the process. Due to the voluntary
nature of candidate demographic information and the number of candidates who choose not to
disclose gender or race information, our ability to break this data down by specific
demographics is limited.

These gains have been achieved in an environment where law enforcement agencies are
competing for candidates who are actively seeking law enforcement opportunities and being
selected for the hiring lists of multiple agencies. On average, one-third to one-half of candidates
placed on our certified Police Officer hiring list voluntarily remove themselves from further
consideration during the life of the list.
Outreach efforts with regard to Police Officer recruitment have increased significantly over the
years and staff continues to welcome recommendations on additional resources and initiatives.
Staff remains committed to improving the gender and racial composition of candidates into
Police Officer positions and will continue to seek opportunities to enhance outreach efforts and
improve processes to that end. If you have questions or would like any further information,
please do not hesitate to contact either of us.

MEMORANDUM
Date: February 29, 2016
To: Geoff Fruin, Assistant City Manager
From:Juli Seydell Johnson, Director of Parks & Recreation
Matthew Eckhardt, Aquatics Program Supervisor
Re: City Park Pool — Aquatic Center Question
Introduction: As part of the City Council's budget review staff was asked to provide
information concerning the pros/cons of enhancing City Park Pool to serve as a family aquatic
center.
History/Background: City Park Pool, located at 200 Park Rd, was opened in 1949. The
funding for the pool was approved in September of 1941. The construction was delayed several
years due to the onset of World War 2. The eight year delay increased the original estimate of
$62,500 to a final $136,925. The pool replaced the former city pool known as the "Big Dipper',
at about half the size it was located in lower City Park where the ball diamonds are currently
located. When the pool was first opened two of the main attractions were the T-shaped wings
(still in use) and the diving well tunnel that was advocated for by Dave Armbruster, former
University of Iowa swim coach. In 1993 the tunnel was filled in and a roof was added to the
open-air bath house. Stainless steel pool gutters were also added to improve circulation. In
2003 a new filtration system was installed. In 2013 a moderate renovation replaced the existing
wading pool, increased the overall size of the deck and a new high dive platform was installed.
Characteristics: The City Park Pool is a T-shaped pool featuring a progressively shallow area
(6'to 5') on both sides of the 'T,' a 50 -meter and 25 -yard lap swim area, two (2) one -meter, and
one three -meter diving boards. The pool depth ranges from 1 to 14 feet. The facility also
features a small wading pool for use by young children being directly supervised by a
responsible adult (16 years or older). The deck area includes a picnic area and large grass
areas for sunbathing.
Current Conditions: The 2013 renovation provided significant improvements in the overall
accessibility. The new wading pool is ADA compliant along with the main pool itself.
Three additional renovations that are currently budgeted in 2016- 2017 include the expansion of
the accessible picnic area, the addition of deck -side cabanas, and reception counter renovation.
The pool mechanics are solid. A complete filter replacement was done for the main pool in
2003. The wading pool system was installed in 2013. The pool deck is solid, free of major
cracks or settling. The grassy areas on deck should be fully usable, for the first time, this
summer. The pool shell itself is our largest concern. The concrete is over 60 years old; however
it is in decent shape for its age. Minor repairs are made twice a year (spring and fall). It's very
difficult to determine exactly how much longer the integrity of the shell will last. In all likelihood
the ancillary systems will fail before the shell does. With minor repairs conducted routinely and a
solid preventative maintenance plan in place, it should last for many more years.
In the time since the City of Iowa City's present aquatic system was conceived and built, there
has been considerable change in the philosophy, technology, and marketing of aquatic services
nationwide. Changes in national trends have already influenced the scale, variety, and
expectations of other present-day municipal aquatic facilities. Overall, the prevalent trend of
contemporary aquatic planning is to create multi -featured facilities that offer specialized water
February 29, 2016
Page 2
environments tailored to the specific needs of various aquatic user groups. The principal user
groups that should be addressed include recreational swimmers, fitness swimmers, aquatic
therapy users, competitive swimmers and those in need of swimming instruction. Common
industry analysis states that a city of 70,000 should be able to accommodate 40,000 sq. ft. of
total water surface area. This would include all facilities both indoor and out. Excluding splash
pads, spray parks, and non -treated recreational areas (rivers and lakes) the City of Iowa City
currently maintains approximately 32,000 sq. ft. of recreational water surface area. This is the
total surface area of The Robert A. Lee Recreation Center Pool, Mercer Park Aquatic Center
and City Paris Pool.
Meeting the 40,000 sq. ft. standard would most likely require a substantial renovation at City
Park Pool or the construction of a new aquatic facility. As it stands Upper City Park would not
provide ample parking to accommodate a substantial increase in attendance. The recent
developments in the area would make traffic flow difficult and would increase congestion. As a
growing community the construction of a new facility in an alternate location would greatly
increase the ability to meet the growing aquatic recreational needs of the community.
While each facility serves a specified geographic area each are similar in scope of service. All
three are primarily designed to accommodate lap swim and competitive use. This particular
style does allow for alternate activities; swim lessons, aquatic exercise, and basic recreation
swimming. However, it does not allow for amenity based recreational swimming, a style that has
become increasingly more popular. Attempts have been made to remedy this through temporary
set-up inflatables and the installation of an aquatic climbing wall at the Robert A. Lee Recreation
Center. Creative programming and special events are two additional avenues utilized to vary
offerings between the three pools. The two largest user -groups are recreational/ competitive lap
simmers and swim lesson participants.
Two cost estimates have been conducted recently gauging the cost of a complete facility
overhaul. In 2011 Water Technologies Inc. provided an updated estimate on a quote done in
1993. The total estimated cost of that update was approximately $13 million. The quote included
a complete demolition of City Park Pool and the construction of a family aquatic center.
The community is strongly tied with City Park Pool. Extensive research should be conducted to
determine what features are needed to help carry-over the strong connection. Some of the
existing features that are favored include:
- Outdoor 50 meter (long course) lap swim space
- 3 meter high dive
- Openness, accessibility, park -like atmosphere
- Traditional style pool layout
- The updated wading pool
Some features that could be incorporated:
- Concessions, not just vending machines
- Water slide(s)
- Interactive water play features
- W system for disinfection
City Park Pool is an experiential recreation facility. The attending public thoroughly enjoys all
that it has to offer. However, swimmers are lost to Coralville, North Liberty, and the University of
Iowa Wellness Center. The exact number has not been studied but the decrease in attendance
correlates with the opening of family aquatic centers in Coralville and North Liberty.
- 1998- 2003 City Park Pool Average Annual Attendance: 28,454 paid admits
- 2004- 2009 City Park Pool Average Annual Attendance: 14,123 paid admits
2010- 2015 City Park Pool Average Annual Attendance: 15,431 paid admits
February 29, 2016
Page 3
Discussion: City Park Outdoor Pool is an older, traditional facility. Recent updates have made
the pool accessible according to ADA standards. Attendance has been consistent for the past
10 years. This seems to indicate that, although newer aquatic center facilities are available in
nearby communities, many Iowa City residents are still enjoying City Park Pool.
Family aquatic centers typically offer a zero depth/beach-like entry, several shallow area play
features, one or more water slides and perhaps a lazy river. Aquatic centers are designed
primarily for water play and recreational swimming. Newer technology and less volume of water
(no deep end/diving well) tend to make aquatic centers more efficient in terms of water use and
utility costs. However, the aquatic centers tend to require more lifeguards/deck staff due to the
various slides and water features.
Traditional pools, on the other hand, offer better opportunities for swimming lessons, lap
swimming, diving and competitive swimming. Iowa City parents have commented on past
surveys that they like that children have open water for swimming in a space where the parent's
view is not obstructed. The additions of spray parks at three other Iowa City parks provide the
community with some of the play features typically found at an aquatic center.
A study for replacing City Park Pool with a family aquatic center, completed in 2011, estimated a
project cost of $13 million. Aquatic Centers in urban areas have a potential to generate enough
revenue to cover operating expenses, but this requires operation as a regional tourist attraction
with entrance fees similar to amusement parks and the availability of a large number of local
daycare, summer camps and tour groups to visit each summer. The City Park site lacks
adequate parking and is not large enough to accommodate an aquatic center with the space
and amenities to operate as a regional tourist attraction. As currently operated, City Park Pool
has received an average subsidy of $52,000 over the last three years to provide a summer
swimming experience to approximately 15,000 swimmers each summer. This subsidy is
relatively small in relation to similar aquatic centers serving comparable markets.
City Park Pool is traditional and lacks some of the excitement of the newer aquatic centers.
However, it is currently a well -used recreation facility with low admissions prices making it
accessible to most local residents. Recent updates have prolonged its functional and useful life.
It may be wise to consider an addition of a slide or new water play feature, but otherwise
maintain the current pool until major repairs to the pool shell or mechanical systems are
needed.

Odgaard, Chris Ogren
Staff Present: Michael Tharp, Eric Goers
Others Present: Matt Wolford, David Hughes, Melissa Underwood, Jack Young
None.
DETERMINE QUORUM:
The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Gardinier at 6:02 P.M.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
Minutes from the January 21, 2016, meeting were reviewed first. Ogren noted that there was a
typo on page 4 of the minutes, under'Employee Review,' the last line, "...helped explained,"
should be "...help explain." Odgaard noted that on the same page under'Airport Operations,'
where it says "...the total cost between around $25,000," should be "...the total cost between
$25,000 and $30,000," instead. Ogren moved to accept the minutes of the January 21,
2016, meeting as amended. Odgaard seconded the motion. The motion carried 5-0.
Next the minutes of the February 2, 2016, meeting were reviewed. Ogren stated that for
"Others Present" it shows the same people as the January meeting. Ogren moved to accept
the minutes of the February 2, 2016, meeting as amended. Bockenstedt seconded the
motion. The motion carried 5-0.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
None.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ACTION:
a. Gilbert Street Leased Area (Larry Bell) — Tharp stated that he did
speak with the FAA regarding this possible sale and that the FAA would be in
agreement with moving ahead with a purchase agreement on this
property. He stated that once the Master Plan is complete, the FAA
should allow this sale to take place. Tharp noted that Jack Young is
present this evening and that he is one of the interested parties in this
sale. Young stated that he is present just to see what is occurring with
this possible sale. Tharp stated that they will need to acquire an
February 18, 2016
Page 2
appraisal in order to establish fair market value on the land, before they
would be able to move forward. Members then discussed the issue, asking
for clarification from Tharp. Goers then gave Members some background on
how the possible land sale would occur. He also addressed the current
lease with Mr. Bell on this parcel. Bockenstedt stated that she would like
to discuss the lease currently in place with Bell and the possibility of
releasing him from it. Gardinier stated that the Commission did discuss
this issue and that they felt Bell should be held to the lease. Members
continued to discuss this, asking questions of Tharp and Goers regarding
the 30 -year lease that is in place. Bockenstedt again stated that she
would like to release Bell from the lease. Members agreed that they need
to expedite this land sale as quickly as possible, in hopes of releasing Bell
from the lease early. Bockenstedt moved that they release Mr. Bell
from the lease at the end of February, 2016, and work on the land
sale as soon as possible. No second was heard. Motion failed.
Assouline stated that he is interested in releasing Mr. Bell from the lease,
but that he believes it will be terminated with the land sale. More
discussion followed at this point, with others agreeing that the Master
Plan needs to be completed first so that they are able to move ahead with
a sale. Bockenstedt then amended her motion to release Mr. Bell
from the lease upon completion of the Master Plan and acceptance
of it by the FAA. No second was heard. Motion failed. Members
again discussed the proposed motion, with Gardinier stating that she is
not in favor of setting a precedent on this issue. Tharp asked the
Members if they want him to contact Realtor Jeff Edberg regarding this
sale. Members agreed that since they have an interested buyer, they do
not see a need in doing so at this time. They also agreed that once they
move forward with the land sale that Bell could be released from the
lease agreement.
b. Airport Master Plan — Melissa Underwood then addressed Members,
sharing handouts with them. She noted that the FAA has looked at the
proposed Master Plan and that they were actually surprised at the
number of obstructions for runway 12. The FAA has asked the Master
Plan group to review this section again, noting that the amount of money
needed to mitigate these obstructions would be quite high. Underwood
noted that they looked at the runway threshold again and she further
explained what changes to this would entail. Continuing, Underwood
explained further how the FAA looks at obstruction mitigation in this
situation. Members asked questions of Underwood and she attempted to
further clarify what their findings show. The discussion continued, with
Underwood showing what changes to the threshold would mean with
regards to obstruction mitigation numbers. Underwood noted that since
the FAA has already seen the proposed plan in its entirety, it is just this
section that needs to be reviewed again. She hopes that once this is
done, they will be able to move forward. Members asked for further
clarification of any threshold changes and Underwood attempted to clarify
these for them.
C. Terry Edmonds Ground Lease — Tharp noted that this is for a 30 -year
lease with Terry Edmonds and he gave Members some background on
February 18, 2016
Page 3
this issue. He stated that he will have further information at the next
meeting, when they hold the public hearing. Goers responded to Member
questions regarding this proposal. Bockenstedt questioned if they want a
30 -year lease or one with renewal options and a shorter overall lease
time period. Tharp explained why the 30 -year period was chosen.
L Consider a resolution setting a public hearing for a 30 -year
ground lease with Terry Edmonds — Assouline moved to
consider Resolution #A16-05 setting the public hearing for a
30 -year ground lease with Terry Edmonds. Ogren seconded
the motion. The motion carried 5-0. The public hearing will be
held at the next Airport Commission meeting.
d. FAA/IDOT Projects: AECOM (David Hughes)
L FY16 Apron Expansion — Hughes noted that this is the public
hearing and that after this they will be moving forward with plans,
specifications, and form of contract for the apron expansion. The
goal is to begin this project the first part of May.
1. Public Hearing — None.
2. Consider a resolution approving the plans,
specifications and form of contract for the 2016 Apron
Expansion and placing bids — Ogren moved to
consider Resolution #A16-06 approving plans,
specifications, and form of contract for the 2016 apron
expansion. Assouline seconded the motion. The
motion carried 5-0.
ii. FYI Obstruction Mitigation — Hughes stated that this was
covered under the Master Plan section.
e. U.S. Army Reserve — Tharp stated that this is a public hearing regarding
the U.S. Army Reserve Center parking area next to that building. The
new lease rate would be $4,425 for the year.
L Public Hearing — None.
ii. Consider a resolution approving a ground lease with the
United States Government for ground located adjacent to the
U.S. Army Reserve Center — Assouline moved to consider
Resolution #A16-07 approving a ground lease with the U.S.
Government for ground located adjacent to the U.S. Army
Reserve Center. Ogren seconded the motion. The motion
carried 5-0.
f. Airport Operations —
L Strategic Plan- Tharp stated that there is not much else to add
here, as they await the completion of the Master Plan. He noted
that he did share the City's strategic plan so Members would have
an idea of what the Council considers their priorities. Tharp noted
that he is considering an April date for a 'debt -free' party/open
house to celebrate the Airport's debt -free status.
ii. Budget — Tharp stated that the boiler install should be completed
yet this week. He noted that there is nothing new to add on the
budget itself. He added that fuel sales are up at this point. This
led to a brief discussion of the price per gallon at the Airport in
February 18, 2016
Page a
relation to other airports' pricing. Wolford also spoke to the
pricing, noting that they consistently look at area airports and their
pricing, in order to stay competitive.
iii. Management — None.
g. FBO/Flight Training Reports
I. Jet Air — Matt Wolford of Jet Air shared the monthly maintenance
reports with Members. He noted that they had a lot of ice this past
month to deal with. Other items of maintenance included light
bulb replacement and more work with the AV gas pump. Wolford
stated that they have had the contractor out to help trace the
electrical system to try and find the problem. Gardinier stated that
when she flew recently there did appear to be a problem with the
hose reel on the gas pump. Wolford stated that he would look into
this and make sure things are working properly. Discussion
continued on the problems with this system and the various
attempts to find the electrical problem. In regards to Jet Air,
Wolford noted that Odgaard is working with flight students
regularly. He stated that they also have an instructor on a part-
time basis who has several students. Charter flights have been
down somewhat, which is normal for this time of year. Wolford
continued, stating that they have been looking at upgrading their
fleet and he spoke briefly to this.
Consider a resolution to adjourn to Executive Session pursuant to Section 21.5(1)(k) and
(1) of the Iowa Code to discuss security procedures or emergency preparedness
information, and to evaluate the professional competency of individuals whose
appointment, hiring, performance or discharge is being considered when necessary to
prevent needless and irreparable injury to that individual's reputation and that individual
requests a closed session.
Odgaard moved to adjourn to Executive Session at 7:52 P.M. Ogren seconded the
motion. The motion carried 5-0.
Ogren moved to adjourn the Executive Session at 8:19 P.M. Gardinier seconded the
motion. The motion carried 5-0.
h. Commission Members' Reports — Ogren noted that former Commission
Member Dan Clay is back in the area and was recently hired as a Dean at
the University. Gardinier noted that her plane is in the shop right now.
She also stated that this will be her last meeting as Chairperson. She
reminded Members that they will need to consider who will serve next in
this position.
I. Staff Report — Tharp thanked Assouline for his work on the Commission.
SET NEXT REGULAR MEETING FOR:
The next regular meeting of the Airport Commission will be held on Thursday, March 17, 2016,
at 6:00 P.M. in the Airport Terminal Building. Ogren stated that she may not be present for this
meeting due to travel. Odgaard added that he may be late but will do his best to attend.

MINUTES PRELIMINARY
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 18, 2016 — 7:00 PM — FORMAL
EMMA HARVAT HALL — CITY HALL
MEMBERS PRESENT: Carolyn Dyer, Charlie Eastham, Ann Freerks, Mike Hensch,
Phoebe Martin, Max Parsons, Jodie Theobald
MEMBERS ABSENT:
STAFF PRESENT: Sara Hektoen, Bob Miklo
OTHERS PRESENT:
RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL:
By a vote of 7-0 the Commission recommends that Council forward a letter to the Johnson
County Board of Adjustment recommending that the application by Steve Fangman, for a
conditional use permit to allow a roofing and snow removal business located at 4860 American
Legion Road SE, be approved subject to the term of expiration in ten years and that all
materials and equipment associated with the business be stored in the accessory structures
identified on the site plan.
Freerks called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA:
There were none
CONDITIONAL USE ITEM (CU16-00001):
Discussion of an application submitted by Steve Fangman for a conditional use permit for a
home business (roofing and snow removal) for property located at 4860 American Legion Road
SE in Area B of the Iowa City/Johnson County Fringe Area.
Miklo began the staff report sharing that this property is in the county but it is in the fringe area
and just east of the Iowa City growth area. Miklo showed a map of the area. The County
requires a conditional use permit for home based businesses, in this case it is a roofing and
snow removal business that has been in operation for 10 years when they first received a
conditional use permit. At the time of the first conditional use permit issuance, the City
recommended there be a 10 year time limit on that permit in the event that the City were to grow
out into that direction. That permit is expiring in March and the applicant is requesting a
renewal. The subject property is zoned Agricultural with one dwelling structure and three out
buildings. Miklo stated that the City has not grown out into that direction and Staff does not
believe it will within the next 7-10 years. Therefore Staff is recommending approval of this home
based for a period of 10 years. At that time it could be renewed or if the city grows out and it is
a concern it could not be renewed.
Planning and Zoning Commission
February 18, 2016 — Formal Meeting
Page 2 of 4
Staff recommends that Council forward a letter to the Johnson County Board of Adjustment
recommending that the application by Steve Fangman, for a conditional use permit to allow a
roofing and snow removal business located at 4860 American Legion Road SE, be approved
subject to the term of expiration in ten years and that all materials and equipment associated
with the business be stored in the accessory structures identified on the siteplan.
Martin asked what would happened if the Commission did not approve this application, would
the applicant still be able to receive the conditional permit. Miklo explained that is the City does
not approve it, the County ordinance states that they must get a super majority from their Board
of Adjustment.
Eastham asked if in the future there is residential development, and with the new Hoover school
site just to the west of this area, or if the property is annexed into Iowa City, is there a zoning
designation for that business that would allow the owner to continue. Miklo replied that if this
property were annexed into the City this level of business would require Intensive Commercial
(CI -1) zoning. He is unsure, but suspects this would not be an area where the City would want
Intensive Commercial zoning. That would be decided at the time of annexation.
Freerks noted that she is familiar with the property and it is well maintained and does not look
like a commercial business property.
Freerks opened the public hearing.
Seeing no one, Freerks closed the public hearing.
Eastham moved that the Commission recommends that Council forward a letter to the
Johnson County Board of Adjustment recommending that the application by Steve
Fangman, for a conditional use permit to allow a roofing and snow removal business
located at 4860 American Legion Road SE, be approved subject to the term of expiration
in ten years and that all materials and equipment associated with the business be stored
in the accessory structures identified on the site plan.
Martin seconded the motion.
Parsons asked where the new school would go and what the proposed construction time for that
new school would be. Miklo indicated the location on the map and believes the construction of
the new school will start in the next year or so.
A vote was taken and the motion carried 7-0.
CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: JANUARY 21, 2016
Hensch moved to approve the meeting minutes of January 21, 2016.
Theobald seconded the motion.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0.

Page 3 of 4
PLANNING AND ZONING INFORMATION:
Miklo noted that four of the Commission members had signed up to go to the Iowa State
Extension Service planning and zoning training in Cedar Rapids on April 6. He will
provide more information prior to that meeting.
Miklo also thanked the Commissioners that attended the workshop earlier that evening
on the Riverside Drive improvements, there is a lot of public interest in that project.
Miklo also stated that the City is reviewing proposals from 12 consulting firms to do the
final plan for the Riverfront Park. They hope to select a consultant this spring and
finalize those plans so work on the park can begin.
Miklo pointed out that the budget being considered by Council includes funding of
consulting services to work on a form -based code or the "missing middle" that has been
discussed with the South Plan.
Theobald mentioned that Miklo, Dyer, Howard and herself went to hear Ed McMahon's
presentation in Cedar Rapids. He made the point that appearance and aesthetics are
important in creating a sustainable community. She said that McMahon had shared
examples of even big chains fitting into the character of city and even locating in historic
buildings. He presented examples a Wal-Mart and Target being located in a downtown
with apartments on the upper floors. Miklo said that there the presentation is available
on the web and that he would send the Commissioners links if they would like to watch
it.
