5 - PLANNING AND ZONING MATTERS.
pp
a. Consider setting a public hearing4on an amendment to
the zoning ordinance to revise the definition of monu-
ment signs and to permit monument signs in the CB -10
zone.
Comment: On February 6, 1986, the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended by a vote of 6-0, approval of an
amendment to clarify the definition of monument signs
as it applies to all zones, and provide greater flexi-
bility when specifying the intended sign height and
area of monument signs in the CB -10 zone. This recom-
mendation is consistent with that of staff,

b. Consider an ordinance to amend the zoning ordinance
pertaining to the location requirements of signs lo-
cated in the triangular area at street intersections.
(first consideration)
Comment: On January 15, 1986, the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended by a vote of 7-0, approval of an
amendment to delete the triangular area setback re-
quirement at street intersections in those zones not
requiring a minimum front yard. This recommendation is
consistent with that of staff. Both Commission and
staff found the rationale for prohibiting sign place-
ment on private property at street intersections was
not appropriate in those zones not requiring a minimum
front yard. A public hearing was held on February 11,
1986; no comments were received.

consideration)
Comment: At its meeting of December 19, 1985, the
Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of
this amendment by a vote of 7-0. The amendment clari-
fies the intent of the special provisions subsections
of those zones with regard to the grace period and its
applicability to illegal uses. A public hearing was
held January 28, 1986; no comments were received.

incorporate the City's current sewage and industrial
waste control regulations by reference. (second con-
sideration)
Comment: At its meeting of December 19, 1985, the
Planning and Zoning Commission recommended by a vote of
7-0 approval of an amendment to delete the City's
sewage discharge requirements from the zoning ordinance
and replace them with language referencing appropriate
sections of the Code of Ordinances. The purpose of the
amendment is to eliminate duplication and ambiguities
by placing the City's sewage discharge regulations in
one part of the Code of Ordinances. A public hearing
was held January 28, 1986; no comments were received.

" north: of Ernest : Street .. from CC -2 to ' P. (Z-8508)' ?
(second consideration)
Comment: At a meeting held December 19, 1985, the
Planning and Zoning Commission recommended, by a vote
of 6-1 (Jordan voting no) approval of the 2.10 acre
rezoning from CC -2 to P. The Iowa City Community
School District recently acquired the property to be
used by the construction education classes. The zoning,
ordinance states that all land owned and/or acquired by
a governmental entity, including the school district,
should be rezoned to the Public Zone. A public hearing
was held January 28, 1986; no comments were received.

ing, that the City Council submit a finding to the
Johnson County Board of Supervisors that the requested
rezoning of 5.2 acres located north of I-80 and west of
Dubuque Street is inconsistent with the policy for Area
2 of the Fringe Area Policy Agreement. This recommen-
dation is consistent with that of staff as noted in the
attached memorandum dated January 30, 1986.

P�pu[sl' �td /L�r. arc>uJ
Poula: I'm David Poula. I'm not here to ask for money. I'm here to ask you
to ask you to stop spending it. I represent a group of concerned
taxpayers. They're concerned that... This City is heading straight
for where the federal government is and where the state government
is.
Strait: Are you going to identify those taxpayers?
Poula: ...hired anonymously... but there is nothing sinister...they are
friends and neighbors... during this time of presentation ... cannot
cover many areas of concern this group has...the airport will take
some of my time simply as an example and I want you to know where I'm
going when I'm done with the airport. There is some specific areas I
will cover both in terms of capital expenditures and departmental
issues. ...Want to make clear..no personal attack intended by me and
my people on any person in the City, any departments or any person-
nel... if going to discuss budget specifics we have to discuss some-
thing specific... pg. 257 of your budget - not sure anybody brought it
- George do you have yours? - pg. 257 airport budget... it's my under-
standing over $800,000 worth of bonds have been sold to extend the
runway...am I correct on that... was asked to ask Council what's going
to be the source of repayment of that and what is its cost.
Zuber: FAA funds if they get back into compliance... 90% - is that right
John? - 90% cost would be covered by FAA.
McDonald: That would be future... future projects - as far as ... bonds that
have been sold - no - that would not be repair by the FAA.
Poula: Bonds would be paid by taxpayers - ok - on any future projects, is
there any thought by Council to put up a or referen-
dum like I understand you've done with the Mercer Park Swimming
Pool ... has this been discussed among Council?
Ambrisco: Have something specific in mind?
Poula: No...on future airport projects - limited airport projects - my
understanding from reviewing your budget is that the enterprise
department of the City is normally self-supporting. For example,
Parking breaks even, Pollution Control makes money, Water operations
makes money, Refuse Collection needs 20% of its budget for taxpayer
support, Transit is about 10% taxpayer support, and the sixth one in
that department, the Airport, is asking for 50% of its budget this
year to be paid for by its taxpayers and the group I represent is
very resentful of this because less than 2% of the population uses
that facility and they feel that it should be put on a pay as -you -go
basis, just like this Council and its predecessors have done with the
parking facility in the not too far distance past. The Airport was
on a pay -as -it -went basis; due to some local political upheaval that
whole system changed and now there is a substantial deficit going to
the Airport and most of the population does not use the Airport.
'�. .............
E
I would point out that if there are the 50-60 planes based there
which I believe it to be free, the Airport is consuming, excuse me,
the owner of each airplane is achieving an approximate $1500 subsidy
for the use of the Airport and the parking facility and my taxpayers
don't think that is right, they think taxpayers' money should not be
used for this purpose.
In your budget it is indicated you pay an Airport Manager $33,000 and
it is my further understanding that it's his main job to cut the
grass and change the light bulbs out there.
Yes, I'm very much aware that his job description provides that he
shall be knowledgeable in FAA regulations. I don't think he deals
with this on a day-to-day basis. I'm not saying we don't have FAA
questions... it's like hiring any other consultant... if you need an
expert in the field of FAA regulations, we believe you would go to
somebody in the field as your questions arise, somebody that prac-
tices daily with that body of law because it is a huge body of law
and only an expert who uses it daily should be in the
business... possibly sharing such an expert with several
cities...don't think it's a four -hour -a -day job to be involved with
these regulations... as questions come up, do it on a consultant
basis, possibly with other cities.
In summary, on the Airport issue, my people feel it should be
self-supporting like your other issues and they do not feel they
should be put upon to expend further funds for that specialty use.
Zuber: You mentioned Transit, is that self-sufficient?
Poula: No, Transit was about 10%.
Zuber: 10% what?
Poula: Taxpayer supported.
Zuber: I think if you looked, it's considerably more; something like about
60% in terms of what we're getting from transit; in terms of fee
support it's about 39%.
Poula: I may have misread your budget, that was my reading as I went
through.
Zuber: That would be about a 600% error.
Poula: I said I maybe made an error ... I would like to point out certain
issues my people wanted you to be specifically aware of in certain
departments. For example, traffic engineering has eight employees.
There are 42 red lights in this community. They have a budget of
almost one-quarter million dollars - we think that department should
be looked over. Planning & Program Development has 15 employees,
admittedly all were required when we were in the middle of urban
renewal. Our times have changed... building has changed ... my people
k
want the Council to look at what these people do ... more importantly,
what these people do not do in exchange for the salaries received
from the taxpayers.
Animal Control has four employees, $123,000 budget, according to your
budget document. They taught ten seminars last year and reacted to
three citizen generated responses for services per day ... maybe some
cuts can be made there.
Civil Rights, $28,000 position, three things happened last year
according to the budget documents. This office responded to inquir-
ies at a rate of less than one per day. I believe figure was 18 a
month...2) oversaw two filed complaints a month ... 3) responsible for
overseeing the Women & Minority Business Enterprise contracts and in
FY86 that total job overseeing $620 worth of business ... ok...1) some
of these things look strange to people. One of the recommendations
is reorganizational issues such as reviewing what are now full-time
jobs, making them into the part-time jobs they really area ... I proba-
bly ... making one person do more than one job... we think this is a
total realistic approach to this.
In terms of the City Manager and Civil Rights department, those were
two that stuck out in our minds. lie feel there are many ways to stop
spending and unless this Council finds some way to limit the increase
of government... that taxpayers will not sit still further if anyone
listening to my voice is likewise concerned as these taxpayers are,
they can call my office at 354-4540 and we'll put them in touch with
my people or drop a letter to 621 South Dubuque Street. Thank you
folks for your time.
Strait: Just one comment. I hope you are not being paid anonymously. Also,
I know you as a person, also as I know you as a lawyer ... I would you
as an individual would not subscribe to all of those statistics,
particularly because statistics just point up one thing: in three
or four areas there, you are talking about human concerns, of human
needs, you have to always be vigilant about and I think I know you
well enough to know that you're representing some anonymous clients,
this fs now your personal position on these matters.
Paula: Yes sir.
Zuber: I would also have ... you gave your phone number and address. I would
suggest that these people that are so damn concerned, when they get
off their duff and run for City Council, I'm perfectly willing to let
them run. I get sick and tired of people standing behind a cloak and
giving me hell and giving the Council hell. When you look at the
number of people that want to run for office and they are told and
they are concerned... they are convinced they can do a good job but
then someone hides behind a cloak and stands there and gives me
hell ... I don't like it if I don't know who the hell they are and you
can take it right back to them ... they can call me at my office or at
my home any damn time.
Paula: I think many of them have.
3
a
Zuber: No they have not.
Ambrisco: Mr. Poula, before you get away from me, I would just like to say
whoever your represent, if they have done such a magnificent job
of scrutinizing the budget and I can just tell you the amount of
time and scrutiny, blood, sweat and tear that the staff of this
City and these people that are sitting in front of you have done
in trying to do the very best job you have... we are starting March
1 on the national search for a City Manager. If you have persons
within your list of clients who feel they have the expertise,
magic and numbers, please ask them to submit their application.
It will be given full consideration.
Poula: I have seen in the newspaper several times the name of your consult-
ant, but never an address. How does anyone contact those people?
Can you....
Ambrisco: Try the Civic Center, Iowa City, Iowa and I will guarantee we'll
get it.
Baker: I just want to get clear one recommendation. You were lumping to-
gether Human Rights Division and City Manager. Was your group advo-
cating a part-time City Manager?
Poula: No - Airport Manager.
Baker: Airport Manager. OK. Thank you.
Dickson: I have a
Poula: We are not necessarily trying to This is
example of jobs that could be combined with other jo s.
Dickson: Would you consider this last statement you made, giving your tele-
phone number, as advertising?
Poula: No, no...to put them in contact with other people—to create a
group ... did not want their own phone #'s used for other reasons ... I
consented to use mine... If I get five calls, they get passed on; if
I get zero calls, ; if I get 1000, I'll be
surprised because you can see what community interest everyone has in
your budget, there are not 20 people here.
Dickson: Would you ever ... even though you don't want to let us - the public
- know who these people are, would you allow the Council to know
who these people are ... give those names to us?
Poula: Certainly, I will ask my people if that meets with their permission.
Dickson: I think a...
Poula: My clients ask for anonymity and I think I'm legally bound to grant

Ambrisco: You sure as hell know who we are and I think we are entitled to
know who all these geniuses are who came forward with all these
bright ideas. lie have been asking for citizen input ever since
I've been on this Council and I know every previous Council has,
and I think we are entitled to that kind of expertise, if it's
available, from within. That's all that we ask..and brother,
you've struck a few nerves here tonight.
Strait: Also, I would add, Mr. Zuber got you on a 600% error and each one of
us on the Council could grab a hold of statistics and knock holes in
them, every item that you talked about... we are not sitting up here
as stupid individuals.
Ambrisco: Close this part of the so-called debate, we'll take your remarks
in the fine manner in which they were prescribed. I'm sure that
if you have people you represent that wish to come forward, this
is one of the most open Councils that you will ever find in any
place in this country.
