Franklin stated this resolution restates Comprehensive Plan policy, the 1998 date reflects the 1983 Comprehensive Plan update projections for development of the southwest area, and the Planning and Zoning Conmission wanted to give notice to people buying lots in the area that there would not be assessments in the near future for the improvement of Slothower or tose roadstupRoads city standards. Courtney wstated ould not the Comprehensives e usto Planhfor the southwest area should be changed. LSNRDA_ MENDMENTS: Reel 86-C33, Side _ Franklin reviewed the preliminary and final LSNRD for Blooming Prairie Ware- house under the current ordinance and a Shive-Hattery development plan for a BOI industrial park site under the proposed LSNRD amendment. Franklin stated the LSNRD amendment will not allow developers to vary from the code and ordinance requirements and the final plan would be approved administratively if it fell within the boundaries established by the preliminary plan approved by the City Council. JOINT SWIMMING FACILITY PROJECT Reel 86-C33, Side 1 Randy Jordison, co-chair of the swimming pool committee, stated "The joint swimming pool committee recommends that the swimming pool project, as pre- sented to the City Council on Tuesday, April 1, be financed by increasing taxes over and above the tax increase already being planned for fiscal 1987. That is to say, if the essential City services will cost three or four per- cent more in fiscal 1987, we will recommend the cost of the swimming pool project to be in addition to the three or four percent increase. We would like to ask the citizens of Iowa City whether they are willing to increase taxes in order to finance a swimming pool project rather than ask them to finance the project by eliminated essential services already being provided." Zuber stated that other concerns such as the transit budget and wastewater treatment facility need to be addressed. Jordison said citizens will be told jectedwhat h$84,000cmaintenance costs rwilltdne need to be raised at the i eachoyearol r.o3McDonald asked when details regarding pool usage will be worked out with the Iowa City School District. Helling stated that a detailed agreement will be established immediately after the swimming pool project referendum is accepted. McDonald inquired about the status of the Mercer Park pool. Melling stated Mercer Park pool will be open this year. Courtney noted that the Mercer Park pool will be closed after this year. Jordison noted that the Iowa City School Board is in agreement with the draft of the memorandum of agreement. CITY INSURANCE PROPOSAL Reel 86-C33, Side O'Malley stated City staff was not impressed with results of the insurance proposal from Penco and, therefore, would like to request a proposal from Arthur J. Gallagher & Company for a property/casualty risk management program in order to compare that proposal to the City's insurance under the retro Plan with Western Casualty. r Ed Wilson and Carlton Johnson, Independent Insurance Association of Johnson County representatives, presented information to Council. Wilson explained the Association was formed 40 years ago for the purpose of collectively analyzing and recommending insurance solutions to public bodies. Wilson said the association has markets for municipal insurance and is in a better posi- tion to serve the City's insurance needs because of the Association's experi- ence in servicing Iowa City's insurance needs. Johnson stated current coverage will be renewed June 26 and the Association would like the opportu= nity to represent Iowa City in making application to the Lloyd's of London program through Penco. Johnson explained the bulk of the City's premium is in the excess lines cost over and above the Lloyd's premium; and last year's costs, the $197,000 was attributed to claim service in Lloyd's primary pro- gram and $425,000 was attributed to excess costs - excess liability over Lloyd's primary; Penco has a full-time claims office in Davenport; and the Independent Insurance Association of Johnson County is close to the tempo of the City's insurance needs. Johnson noted June 26 is the renewal date and timing of the application to the Lloyd's program is critical. Ambrisco asked what next year's premiums would cost if a market for primary coverage is available. Johnson stated Western Casualty is in the process of collecting information, premium costs should be set in two weeks, and Western Casualty does have a primary market available for next year. In response to Vitosh, Johnson said there could hypothetically be a 35% increase in the retro with Western Casualty. Vitosh said the City has heard there could be up to a 200% increase in insurance premiums and the City may need to consider self-insurance. Vitosh noted that the City has had no problems with the type of services offered by the Independent Insurance Association of Johnson County. Ambrisco asked what level of self-insurance would be considered by Iowa City.' Tinmins stated self-insurance, similar to Sioux City's program would be considered. Councilmembers agreed with the ad hoc risk management committee's recommendation to proceed to request a proposal from Gallagher & Company. TER Reel 86-C34, Side 2 Vitosh introduced Evensen-Dodge financial advisors Wayne Burggraaff and Chuck Upgraff and Ken Haynie, the City's bond attorney. Burggraaff reviewed the parking revenue bond presale analysis and issue. Burggraaff stated the size of the issue is $1,575,000 and is being sold by Iowa City for construction of an additional 223 parking ramp spaces; the proposed issue is structured over a 15 -year period costing $180,000 per year for debt service; the issuance of bonds requires the parking utility to meet a parity test, making it necessary for an independent auditor to provide certification of the parity test; and the City needs to make application for a rating on the issue. Burggraaff stated the City must have a rating sepa- rate from the City's current general obligation bond rating and the previous security for thegissue parki g rampirevenueabond tissue isutherparkingstated f a receipts from the parking utility and therefore, is considered more risky than a general obligation bond. r Burggraaff noted that current market conditions for the bond issuance are very good and 7.75% interest rates on the bonds is anticipated. Burggraaff said the City will be covenanting to comply with pending legislation in the offering statement and resolution; the date for the sale is April 15; and a special Council meeting is scheduled April 15 at 6:30 p.m. to accept the bids. Courtney asked what a rating will cost. Burggraaff stated that Moody's bases their rating fees according to the size of the city and the difficulty of the rating and the fee should range $3,000-;3,500. Courtney asked if the City could sell non -rated bonds. Burggraaff recommended selling rated bonds because of the size of the issuance and Moody's policy to review current financial conditions for the new issue so as to continue the rating on the previous issue. Courtney stated the Council should address the use of park- ing revenue receipts. Ambrisco stated the previous decision to use parking revenues for transit was an exception and there was not a policy change. Vitosh stated a preliminary schedule has been drafted for financing the wastewater treatment facility. Burggraaff stated the schedule is as follows: rate work by Metcalf & Eddy completed end of April, rate adjustment recommen- dations submitted early May, and bond sale tentatively scheduled July 8. Burggraaff said it is important to schedule the bond sale and issuance clos- ing before the end of August due to pending litigation on tax exempt bonds. Burggraaff explained the wastewater treatment project could be financed with zero coupon revenue bonds, straight revenue bonds, or a combination of reve- nue bonds and GO bonds and a competitive sale or negotiated sale could be used to offer the bonds. Burggraaff recommended the City conduct a competi- tive sale because of the City's Aaa rating on GO bonds, the size of the issuance will attract national markets and competition is keen because of the recent low volume of bond sales. Ambrisco inquired about the costs associ- ated for the competitive sale. Burggraaff stated the fee that goes to the underwriters for investment banking syndicates is distributed in the form of a discount. Courtney asked if the financial advisor's fee could be eliminated by utilizing a negotiated sale. Burggraaff explained the City would need assistance from a financial advisor to handle a negotiated sale and there would be costs associated with that assistance. In response to McDonald, Burggraaff stated a negotiated sale is advantageous when dealing with compli- cated issuances of debt. Burggraaff stated a dutch auction, accepting bids from underwriting companies in limited increments, is sometimes used for large issuances. Courtney noted he has been in contact with Senator Grassley's office and tax exempt bond legislation may be enacted before September 1. In response to Strait, Burggraaff stated the issuance for the wastewater treatment facility will be an estimated $33-34 million. SIDEWALK CAFES Reel 86-C34, Side 2 McDonald summarized previous Council discussions about sidewalk cafes, stated that sidewalk cafes would further enhance the downtown area and would offer something unique and progressive, and suggested trying out the concept of sidewalk cafes for the first year from May 30 to September 7. McDonald recommended that stringent guidelines be established to regulate the sidewalk cafes. Timnins stated that if the City granted permission to establish `1 f- sidewalk cafes, there is a procedure that would require notice to abutting property owners and the City would want to make a finding that the sidewalk cafes would not constitute an obstruction. Timmins said that hours of serv- ice and safety and liability need to be addressed. Timmins noted that State Code Chapter 123 provides that cities don't have powers to limit the hours of operation of a liquor establishment and the Iowa Beer and Liquor Control Department's position is that cities cannot limit the hours of operation. He has discussed the possibility of controlling the hours of service through lease agreements with that department and found that acceptable. Regarding safety and liability, Timmins reminded Council that the City has a non -delegable duty to keep the public right-of-way open, repaired, and any- thing that obstructs public use of that public right-of-way is a nuisance. Police Chief Miller stated that the addition of outside facilities would necessitate additional policing at a substantial cost. Strait asked if lease provisions could require the establishment to hire off-duty police officers to police the area. Miller stated that traditionally Iowa City Police have handled policing duties within the community. Zuber raised concerns about the impact on abutting businesses and liability. Timmins stated that regula- tions do not apply to the Plaza area; outdoor service areas established prior to 1984 are exempted and Council needs to clearly stated rationale for the outdoor service area exemptions. Zuber stated that sidewalk cafes should go through the design review process. Helling stated sidewalk cafes should be monitored closely, raised concerns about the pedestrian flow in the Plaza area and restricting access to the adjoining storefronts, then asked Council to clarify if sidewalk cafes would be permitted only on the Plaza. Helling suggested that sidewalk cafe permits be automatically renewed for a second year if there are no problems, similar to what is done for Plaza vendors. Timmins stated the State Liquor Depart- ment may take a position that the City cannot diminish the months of opera- tion and, therefore, the City should only lease for a term of three months each year. Majority of Council directed staff to develop the sidewalk cafe concept on the Plaza only. COUNCIL TIME/AGENDA Reel 86-C35, Side 1 1. (Agenda Item /3.c.(2) - Cancel Sunday sales permit for Copper Dollar.) In response to Strait, Karr stated no communication has been received from the Copper Dollar regarding Sunday sales permit. 2. (Agenda Item f3.e.(5) - Mel Toomer/insurance limits.) Strait suggested utilizing the amount of insurance currently used or using $300,000. Council agreed to have the present requirements remain. 3. Strait asked what action has been taken regarding the problems at the Yocum construction sight. Timmins stated he will contact Yocum at the end of the week to ask him to clean up the construction site. Timmins noted that he and Boothroy are drafting an amendment to the nuisance ordinance to regulate construction debris on construction sites. 4. (Agenda Item 13.d.(1) & (2) - Resolutions re: sanitary sewer and pave- ment improvements/Dean Oakes Third Addition.) Zuber requested that the cost for the work be stated in the resolutions. i 5. Dickson noted that Marge Penney has resigned from the Human Services Coordinator position. Helling stated staff is reviewing that position. Dickson voiced appreciation for the job done by Ms. Penney. 6. (Agenda Item /3.e.(3) - Smith request, Fairview Park.)

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS: Reel 86-C35, Side 2 Franklin said Council received a March 16, 1986, memo regarding environ- mental regulations, including the recommendations by the Urban Environment Ad Hoc Committee and the Planning and Zoning Commission has not reviewed the recommendations. Strait asked Council to send the Urban Environment Ad Hoc Commission's recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review. Franklin noted the recommendations included a grading and erosion control ordinance for all land disturbing activities. McDonald suggested forwarding the Urban Environment Ad Hoc Committee's recommenda- tions directly to the Planning and Zoning Commission and have them make a policy recommendation to Council. In response to Ambrisco, Franklin said Legal staff has received copies of the recommendations. Strait stated Boyle has attended one-third of the Urban Environment Ad Hoc Committee meetings and has advised that committee. Zuber and Ambrisco noted con- cerns about regulating private property. Council agreed to forward the recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission for evaluation to determine the appropriate scope and to make recommendations to the City Council. PLANNING AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT STAFFING AND PRIORITIES: Reel 86-C35, Side 2 Schmeiser asked Council to prioritize PPD's work plan due to the limita- tion in staff positions and fill the vacant Urban Planner position. Councilmembers discussed the current workload of PPD. In response to Strait, Schmeiser stated Des Moines has 52 PPD employees and Cedar Rapids has six or seven planners compared to Iowa City's three planners. Helling said staff canreview and prioritize PPG's ongoing activities and requested that Council defer any decision about filling the vacant posi- tion until he has discussed the position vacancy with Schmeiser. Zuber asked for an estimation on the number of staff hours that are needed to complete each of PPG's activities. Council directed staff to prioritize the list of PPO activities and return to Council within two weeks with recommendations regarding filling the vacant position. r LEASE OF OFFICE SPACE FOR THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT: Reel 86-C38, Side 1 Schmeiser stated the April 11, 1986, memo regarding alternative office space explains the current condition of the Davis Building. Zuber asked why the Davis Building has not been condemned. Melling stated the PPD department needs to move or the City needs to spend additional funds to improve the condition of the Davis Building. Council agreed with the recommendation to move the department into the former Elks building across the street. Schmeiser said a resolution will be presented to Council next week. Baker asked Schmeiser to consider the use of petitions versus permanent walls in the new space. COUNCIL TIME: Reel 86-C38, Side 1 1. Ambrisco stated Council received an April 11th memo from PPD Director Schmeiser regarding the Human Services Coordinator position and asked McDonald and Dickson to represent the City Council on an ad hoc com- mittee to examine that position. 2. Strait referred to the April 19th memo from City Atty. Timmins and Asst. City. Atty. Brown regarding advertising and the context of the City's non-discrimination ordinance. Council agreed to Timmins' recommendation to draft a letter to the local newspapers. 3. Melling stated Council received a March 27th memo from the Public Works Dept. regarding requests for additional street lighting. Coun- cil directed staff to proceed with that project. 4. Melling stated Council received City Engr. Farmer's April 11th memo regarding FY86 asphalt resurfacing project. Helling said staff will proceed with the asphalt overlay project unless objections are raised by Council. Zuber asked that designs of the Scott Boulevard project be made available to area residents. Strait requested that Ridge Road be widened an additional one foot on the east side. S. Helling said Councilmembers should contact the City Manager's office for reservations if they plan to attend the April 28 Southeast Iowa Municipal League meeting. 6. Karr asked Councilmembers to contact the City Manager's office or City Clerk's office regarding their vacation or business schedules that would affect Council meeting attendance. Zuber noted he will be out of town May 20th. Strait urged staff to deal with the telephone commu- nications request (electronic meetings). MEETING WITH AIRPORT COMMISSION: Reel 86-C38, Side 1 Zehr presented a slide presentation about the Airport Master Plan and stated it is important to complete the compliance project. Strait stated that he shares many of the concerns raised in the April 15th correspon- dence from George J. Lopos. Strait also stated concerns about the ongoing litigation involving the Iowa City Airport and competition with the Cedar Rapids Airport. Zehr replied that the Master Plan was developed to make the Airport more safe and viable and to entice noisy aircraft to use a preferential runway. Zuber inquired about the benefits to the community f- for spending the $800,000 on the compliance project and stated that there are no guarantees from the FAA for future funding. Luber suggested that the Airport charge a $10 landing fee. In response to Strait, Lehr agreed that an estimated one-half of one percent of the Iowa City population are pilots. In response to Dickson, Lehr stated 10-12 Iowa City businesses use the Iowa City Airport. Courtney noted that HLM, University Hospitals, University of Iowa Athletic Department, Sheller -Globe, Thomas & Betts, and the First National Bank are some of the businesses that use the Airport. Baker asked how long the north -south runway is and if it is feasible to extend that runway to the south. Lehr said the north -south runway is 4300 feet and it is not feasible to extend the runway due to the topography, the quarry, cost to purchase the bowling alley, Protein Blenders, and sighting constraints. Baker asked what would happen if runway 6/24 was not improved. Lehr replied that the Airport would remain in non-compli- ance status, there would not be future FAA funding, there is a congrega- tion of people in the clear zone that affects liability and the existing uses should be removed or the compliance project should be completed as proposed. Baker asked if the Airport Commission and previous City Council had considered removing the existing business. Lehr stated removing the uses could cost in excess of $2 million. Baker asked if liability would be increased if runway 6/24 was not improved. Lehr stated he could not answer that. Strait asked if the compliance status would increase economic development. Lehr said the compliance project would not necessarily create any real changes but corporate jet aircraft would feel more comfortable using the airport. Lehr stated that the compliance project will entice the aircraft to use the preferential noise abatement runway. Dickson asked if there are plans for a commuter airline service. Lehr replied that there has been a demand study done on the feasibility of a commuter airline but none would be established unless Council so directs. Courtney stated that Ray Muston of First Capitol Development has stated that businesses have indi- cated a need for quick access in and out of the Airport and two to three businesses have indicated an interest to locate on Airport property. Luber asked if the compliance project is being funded with GO bonds. Vitosh stated that $800,000 of GO bonds were issued in October to extend runway 6/24. Lehr stated a $286,000 bid was received for construction costs of the project and that work was originally budgeted at $500,000. Baker asked if the bonds have been issued but the City has not obligated itself to spend the money. Vitosh said yes. In response to McDonald, Lehr stated the Airport receives an estimated $85,000 subsidy per year from the City. McDonald asked when the zoning ordinances were implemented at the Airport. Lehr stated that until 1982 federal law regulated the approach zones, then the tall structure overlay zoning ordinance and the Master Plan were implemented in 1982 and the clear zone use limitations were incorporated in 1983. Lehr explained the FAA recommended the Airport adopt use limita- tions to restrict residential development. In response to McDonald, Lehr stated relocation of threshhold to runway 17 was never considered before the compliance project. Lehr explained that a displaced threshhold cannot be used for landing and a relocated threshhold cannot be used for take -off or landing. Regarding compliance status, Lehr explained that the Airport -1 —ILk, r has received a letter from the FAA stating that once the compliance pro- ject is completed the Airport could be considered for grant allocations. Zehr said that before the compliance project bid is awarded, the Airport Commission and Council should send a letter to the FAA asking them to confirm compliance status to the Airport once the compliance project work is Zehr enxplai ed there arei$7.2rbillaonu int the Aviation availabFAA ility funding. Strait asked about problems with development of land surrounding the Airport. Zehr stated that property not in the clear zone does not fall under use limitation of the Zoning ordinance but height limitations do apply. In response to Courtney, Zehr said the corporate hangars and farmland rental generate revenue. In response to Dickson, Zehr stated the Iowa City Flying Service handles the aircraft parking on University of Iowa football Saturdays. Ambrisco asked about the role that the Iowa City Airport serves in comparison with the Cedar Rapids Airport. Zehr explained the Iowa City Airport does not compete with the Cedar Rapids airport,andIn responseIowa mto AAmbri co ort is deveZehr said theinto FAAc promotes orate aviation general aviation airports but used the Iowa City Airport as an example when they gave the non-compliance status. Ambrisco stated the Council needs to consider to what extent Airport property should be developed. McDonald asked about the impact of the extension project to potential development. Timmins replied that the farther the runway is extended, the more land is encompassed, and the greater the impact. Timmins stated there are unrealized and potential impacts now. Courtney noted that the Airport does serve the public good but the amount of public good is a debatable issue. lt Airportthen Federalperson governmentaand statedthe oningr was a not ple- by years ago by mented until 1982. Tiffany said zoning is now in place to make the Air- port safe and viable and the Airport should be brought back into suppntbecome elaborateeligible expansion offunds. Airportiisosoftstated City Council port for the Ambrisco asked Zehr about the developer's knowledge that the property was located in the clear zone when they requested the property to be annexed. Zehr said there was a previous discussion about what approach slope was in effect when they were annexed. Timmins said that he has not researched that issue. Timmins stated that part of the land acquisition would be required even if the runway was not extended. Zuber stated that buying property in the clear zone is not mandated by the FAA. Zehr said the Airport Commission needs to know if money is available for land acquisi- tion. Strait asked to table any decision until Tuesday's formal Council meeting. Melling stated the City Council has authorized the sale of bonds for the Timmins stated iathe bondproject eissue washerefore approvednbutouncil funds are on is still needed. still inCity accounts. Zehr stated the funds have already been established in an account the Airport Commission has access to. Vitosh stated the bonds have been issued, the bond proceeds have been placed in the City's Bond Proceeds Fund, and the City has given funds to the Airport Project Fund as issuanceofthe bonds and on mtreVe ofthe projects included inthebond sunaeauthorized -I _A r was the $800,000 for the Airport Compliance Project. Vitosh stated the Council could change its mind regarding the use of those funds. HelIing said that if cost of the compliance project is less than estimated, the remainder of the bond proceeds could be used to retire the bonds early or for other projects. McDonald asked to schedule a ten minute discussion at Monday's informal Council meeting. Strait asked Council to vote formally on the release of the compliance project funs. Ambrisco asked staff to schedule those discussions as requested. Input was received from Dick Blum, President of the Iowa Public Airports Association. Blum urged Council to consider the impact of State funding, Airport maintenance costs and safety factors as they relate to the comple- tion of the compliance project. In response to Ambrisco, Zehr said the Airport has received approximately $15,000 from the State over the past five years. Input was received from John Kinnamon, attorney representing the Iowa City Airport Alliance. Kinnamon stated the major runway at the Airport, based on preferential winds, is runway 11-35; there has been no effort to con- demn the R -Plaza property, and there has been no attempt to determine if the residential use is a public nuisance and could be abated by police powers. Kinnamon also raised concerns about safety of the occupants in the apartments and asked Council to review a brief filed with the City by him. In response to Strait, Kinnamon said the lawsuit for mandamus action has been tried, rejected, and is currently on appeal. In response to Courtney, Zehr said the prevailing winds are out of the north-northwest, actually favoring 30, and the fact that runway 35 is the longest and primary instrument runway would also be factors for heavy usage. Baker asked Zehr to provide runway improvement expenses for the runways.

Franklin said Area 4 is currently being consid- ered for a new policy. In response to McDonald, Franklin said the County Zoning Commission has forwarded recommendations for a new Fringe Area 4 Policy to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors and the Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended limited development with performance standards for Area 4. Franklin said information should be going to the Fringe Committee within one month. Strait inquired about the "no" vote by Planning and Zoning Commission member Susan Horowitz. Franklin said Horowitz voted "no" to indicate to Dean Oakes that the Commission was aware of his efforts to alter his development to fit the topography of the property. NORTH DUBUQUE SIDEWALK ASSESSMENTS: Reel 86-C40, Side 1 Farmer said the project extends from Highway 1/Dodge Street to the exist- ing pavement at Oakes Drive; costs $212,000 if totally remove and replace; there are temporary construction easements; a portion of one property will r- Informal Council Discussion April 21, 1986 Page 2 be purchased (Ruppert); and the alignment at Dodge/Dubuque Road and Bristol/Dubuque intersections will be changed. In response to McDonald, Farmer stated property owners will be assessed $42,000 for the sidewalk construction costs. Farmer stated before the project is approved, prop- erty owners will be notified by certified letters and a public hearing will be held. Farmer referred Councilmembers to the assessment schedule as outlined in Karr's April 18th memo regarding North Dubuque Road sidewalk assessment calendar and noted that six Councilmembers are needed to adopt a resolu- tion of necessity or seven Councilmember votes are required if 15% of the property owners object to the project. YOCUM PROPERTY: Reel 86-C40, Side 1 Bob Frees presented a petition signed by 82 area residents stating their objections to the Nuisance and hazardous conditions on the property lo- cated at Kimball and Governor Street. Strait stated Timmins, Boothroy and he have all asked Yocum to clean up the construction material on the property and Yocum has said he will clean up the area. Timmins said any legal proceedings against Yocum would take a considerable amount of time, he is working with Yocum to get the site cleaned up, and the City does not have any standards for maintenance of construction sites. Timmins said he asked the Building Division to develop standards for the Building Code regarding maintenance of materials on construction sites. Frees stated there should be rules and regulations to prevent hazards at construction sites and to protect neighbors. COUNCIL TIME: Reel 86-C40, Side 1 In response to Dickson, Helling said the Traffic Engineer is confer- ring with the IDOT about markings in the median crossover for the Sunset Street intersection. Zuber said he referred correspondence to the City Manager regarding a complaint that school children were cutting through private property to get to school. 3. Strait inquired about the status of the taxicab owners' request for lowering insurance costs. Helling stated Councilmembers previously decided to not make any changes so no formal action was required. 4. Ambrisco noted that Councilmembers received the April 18, 1986, memo from City Engr.Farmer regarding FAUS funding being available for the Dubuque Street Improvements Project. 5. Melling stated Councilmembers received City Engr. Farmer's April 18th memo regarding railroad crossing improvements and recommended the City proceed with the improvements. Council agreed to proceed as proposed. l� l r Informal Council Discussion April 21, 1986 Page 3 APPOINTMENTS: Reel 86-C40, Side 1 CCN: Maris Snider. ION REGARDING DESIGN REVIEW Reel 86-C40, Side 2 Larry Eckholt, Chairman of the Design Review Committee, presented slides demonstrating the changes in the exterior of downtown buildings and store front signage in the 1970's and the 1980's. Eckholt referred Council - members to his April 18th memo and said Council needs to address what is the future of the Design Review Committee and the proposal to adopt a design review code. Joyce Sunmerwill, Design Review Committee member, stated a design review code would establish a consistent maintenance and upgrading of the Central Business District, protect neighboring busineses, and streamline the approval process. Summerwill noted that many communi- ties already have 'a design review code in place. Naomi Novick, Design Review Committee member, emphasized that design review should be a formal- ized process. Courtney asked what area of Iowa City would be covered by the proposed design review code. Eckholt explained the current resolution restricts the Design Review Committee's purview to urban renewal developments and the City Plaza in the downtown area and to pians involving IRBs. Eckholt said the Design Review Committee's recommendation is to adopt a design review code to include the CB -10 and CB -2 zones. McDonald stated the Design Review Committee and downtown business owners have established a good relationship and the area reviewed by the Design Review Committee should be expanded to include all businesses in the downtown area. Eckholt said the Design Review Committee is not an adversarial group and exercises compromise and negotiation when working with businesses. Councilmembers discussed the Design Review Committee's recommendations. McDonald asked if ordinance power is necessary. Eckholt said the Design Review Comnittee feels strongly that ordinance power is needed and the Design Review Committee should be established as a commission. Seiberling said the design review code should require plans for exterior modificatio- ns within the CB -10 and CB -2 zones to be reviewed by the Design Review Committee before a building permit is issued. Courtney raised concerns about creating additional delays to the building permit process. Baker stated the design review process could be established similar to the Historic Preservation Commission certification process. Ambrisco asked how the Design Review Cbmittee has been so effective in previous years without a design review code. Eckholt explained the design review process was required when urban renewal development occurred. Eckholt stated that other buildings in the downtown areas should now be required to go through the design review process to upgrade the quality of the building in their visual design. In response to Ambrisco, Eckholt said without an ordinance the Design Review Committee could still have a positive impact but design review would be optional. t- Informal Council Discussion April 21, 1986 Page 4 Dean Thornberry, representing the Downtown Association and Chamber of Commerce, stated the Downtown Association and Chamber would like to be informed about what area the proposed design review code would encompass. Dickson asked if the design review code would review previous construction changes. Novick stated the design review code would apply to any exterior building changes that would require a new building permit. Zuber raised concerns about expanding the area, the use of additional staff time, and redelegation of Council powers. Thornberry said the Downtown Association and Chamber of Commerce members will be polled. Cain explained the design review code would include an appeal procedure. McDonald suggested the Design Review Committee be established as a perma- nent commission and the area be expanded to include the Central Business District. Timmins stated the Design Review Committee does have review powers under the City Plaza ordinance and the Design Review Committee functions continue .as long as the urban renewal covenances are in effect. Baker said the Urban Environment Ad Hoc Committee is considering a recom- mendation to consolidate boards and commissions such as the Historic Pres- ervation Commission and the Design Review Committee to eliminate double reviews. Baker raised concerns about just extending the area of the design review without the power of ordinance. Ambrisco stated the dialogue between the Council and the Design Review Committee has been opened and individual property owners, the Downtown Association and Chamber should be involved in future discussions. Ambrisco asked the Design Review Committee to formulate specific considerations for Council. Eckholt said the Design Review Committee will establish an agenda for future discussion with Council.

Affirmative roll call vote unanimous, 6/0, Dickson absent. Mayor declared motion carried. Council adjourned to executive session at 6:30 p.m. Planning 8 Program Development: Reel 86-C41, Side 2 Schmeiser stated three projects: open space, economic development revolving loan fund, and streamlining development process, were inadvertently omitted from his April 25 memo regarding urban planning division work program; the work activities have been divided into three categories: ongoing activities, ad hoc tasks, and long-range tasks; and Council needs to prioritize future projects and delete unnecessary projects. Franklin said preliminary work has been done on the zoning ordinance amend- ments (physical limitations of the lot, illuminated awnings, special excep- tions to modify yard requirements, and noise generating equipment) and considerable work has been done on the open space ordinance. Franklin recom- mended deleting the Hutchinson/Bayard Street project from the list of ad hoc tasks. Zuber suggested deleting the Hutchinson/Bayard Street project and the economic development revolving loan fund projects and postponing any work on the Mesquakie Park development and Urban Environment Ad Hoc Committee fragile area recommendations. Strait stated his opposition to postponing work on the Urban Environment Ad Hoc Committee recommendations. Helling stated the Parks and Rec Commission is working on the Mesquakie Park development project. Franklin stated the economic development coordinator is working on the eco- nomic development revolving loan fund. Council agreed to delete the Hutchinson/Bayard Street project. Courtney stated work to evaluate the amendments to provide bed and breakfast establishments could be delayed until more staff is available. Ambrisco inquired about the need to revise the City Plaza ordinance. Franklin ex- plained revisions to the City Plaza ordinance has been under consideration for three years and applies to the Plaza vendors and reviewing City Plaza construction. Helling stated the City Council established a policy to not .v =1� allow construction into the Plaza area but the ordinance had not been amended. Helling noted the economic development coordinator has worked on an extensive redraft of the City Plaza ordinance. Timmins said the plaza ordinance revisions will be presented to Council along with the plaza cafe ordinance. Courtney inquired about evaluating parking recommendations for sororities and fraternities. Franklin stated the parking requirements for sororities and fraternities and food preparation/delivery services should be addressed. Franklin explained the ad hoc tasks will be done as staff time permits. Franklin reviewed the long-range tasks: Comprehensive Plan, fringe area agreement, subdivision regulations, conditional zoning, and storm water management study. Baker suggested incorporating the Urban Environment Ad Hoc Committee recommendations with the subdivision regulations. Courtney sug- gested placing conditional zoning on the list of long-range tasks. Baker asked what work needs to be done on streamlining the development process. Franklin explained that an intern has developed a flow chart of the develop- ment process, the flow chart needs to be reviewed and established in a bro- chure form, and the brochure reviewed by the Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee. Council reprioritized the list of long-range tasks as follows: Comprehensive Plan Update, Johnson County/Iowa City Fringe Area Policy Agreement, review subdivision regulations, streamline developmnt process, storm water, open space ordinance, conditional zoning procedures. In response to Ambrisco, Franklin stated the Chair of the Planning and Zoning Commission requested that the task to evaluate amendments to height require- ments for accessory buildings be added to the Planning and Zoning Commission pending list. Council agreed to keep the Urban Environment Ad Hoc Committee recommendations on the Planning and Zoning Commission's schedule. Council discussed the open space ordinance and decided to keep it on the list of long-range tasks. Helling asked Council for clarification regarding the filling of the vacant Associate Planner's position. Council agreed to advertise for the position immediately. Transit Marketing Proposals and Systems Overlap Reel 86-C43, Side 1 Councilmember Strait introduced JCCOG Ad Hoc Transit Study Committee members: Phil Shive, Dave Ricketts, and Ann Rawland. Strait noted Councilmembers received the April 24 memo from Davidson and Lundell regarding update on activities of the Transit Committee. Davidson said there are five areas where bus service by Iowa City, Coralvilie and/or CAMBUS overlaps but only one of those five areas is considered a duplication of service. Davidson explained that the Iowa City North Dubuque Route and the CAMBUS route duplicate service to Mayflower Apartments. He added CAMBUS cannot service a full north route tto the trailer University'scourts b cause of time constraints, capacity problems that CAMBUS service University facilities. Strait emphasized that CAMBUS has been very mat ionive.between three bus ems Davidson there has been a lot of cooperation and coordi r- Lundell reviewed bus market ideas: 1. Thirty second TV spots (prepared by staff or Heritage): 2. Pamphlet promoting bus pass use. 3. Inside bus advertising program. 4. Selling advertising on route maps and passes. 5. Install downtown schedule display case. 6. Individual bus stop schedule display cases. 7. Slide/tape promotion package. 8. Elementary school program. 9. Promote ACT/NCS tripper service. 10. Information table in old Capitol Center to sell passes. 11. Park and ride lot at Sycamore Mall. 12. Bus and Shop proposal. Lundell said applications have been submitted to fund projects 67-11 listed. Dave Ricketts, Director of CAMBUS, stated CAMBUS has been selling 25 spaces inside buses for advertising; received $8,000 last year from selling the advertising; and pays a 25% commission to the person selling the advertising. Ricketts proposed Iowa City employ the same salesperson to sell advertising for the Iowa City buses. Ricketts explained CAMBUS does not sell advertising for the exterior of buses and utilizes a clear set of standards regarding the type of advertising allowed for the interior of buses. Phil Shive proposed changing the Bus & Shop program so that a shopper would receive a bus pass worth 30t for each $10 purchase. Shive also requested that the City account for the used Bus & Shop passes and send the Chamber of Commerce a bill. Shive stated extensive advertising is planned to encourage area merchants to join the Bus & Shop program. Zuber raised concerns about the decrease in bus ridership and use of downtown parking and asked if shop- pers are now going to outlying areas. Baker said there would be inconsisten- cies between the Park & Shop program and the Bus & Shop program if bus riders would have to pay the remaining 20t to ride the bus, while parkers have their complete hourly fee paid. Ambrisco noted appreciation for the Committee and requesting information nearby communities to shop. Airport Compliance Project: work done by the Ad Hoc Transit Study to determine if persons are going to Reel 86-C44, Side 1 Strait asked Zehr to disclose information received from Mr. Sasser at a recent conference in Des Moines. Zehr said he discussed the compliance project and uses in clear zone to Runway 17 with Sasser. Timmins stated Sasser addressed the impact of the Graham-Rudmann bill on the amount of money available from the airport trust fund for airport improvements. Strait stated he believed the Iowa City Airport will not receive any federal fund- ing. Zehr stated there has never been any guarantee for the funding. Zuber referred Zehr to an article in the ICMA Newsletter and asked him to explain the federal government proposals. Zehr said he is unaware of the federal government proposals. In response to Zuber, Zehr explained a $286 construc- tion cost bid was received and land acquisition costs are estimated at $300,000. McDonald recommended the City proceed with the airport compliance project as originally proposed. Strait asked Council to delay any decisions 7 a1 fi for one week and to hold an executive session with the Airport Commission and legal staff. Baker raised concerns about the long-term future of the airport letter from the Chamber of Commerce urging the and the City's obligation to the airport. Ambrisco noted Council received a City to proceed with the compliance project. Council agreed to direct the Airport Commission to proceed with the compliance project as proposed. Council Time: Reel 86-C44, Side 1 Strait stated the construction debris has been removed from the Max Yocum property at the intersection of Governor/Kimball. City Manager Search Update: Timmins stated there is a problem in the role of the City Manager Search Committee in the selection process and the problem relates to a conflict between the City's interest in assuring applicants a measure of confidential- ity versus the public's interest in open meetings/records law. Timmins noted the impact of the open meetings law was not originally discussed with Mr. Oldani. Timmins explained the search committee is considered a governmental body and is subject to requirements of the open meetings law; there is a narrow section in the open meetings law that allows closed session evalua- tions of particular candidates when a closed session is deemed necessary to prevent needless and irreparable injury to the applicant and the applicant requests a closed session; and that section is not broad enough to allow a closed session discussion of a broad field of applicants. Timmins stated that today he advised against Mr. Oldani holding a closed session meeting with the search committee to review applicants. Timmins said the Council could narrow the scope of the search committee's effort so that they only assist in the screening of the final 5-10 qualified applicants or allow the search committee to assist the consultant in screening the larger number of applicants with the understanding that the work sessions would be open and applications submitted to open public record. Timmins recommended a process that guarantees the open meetings law is honored. Council agreed to narrow the scope of the search committee's efforts so they only assist in the final screening of applicants. Council outlined a procedure whereby Oldani would narrow candidates down to 5-7, interviews would be conducted by the Selection Committee, then with City Council, and recommendations would be received by Council from the Committee after both parties had completed interviews. In response to Oldani, Timmins stated information from the consultant that has not been exchanged with any member of the City government and is not subject to the open meetings law. Oldani reported 76 resumes were submitted, 54 of the resumes were reasonably qualified, and resumes were received from 3 Blacks, 2 Hispanics, and 3 fe- males. Oldani said the quality of candidates seems uniformly high. Oldani said final candidate interviews with Council is tentatively scheduled June 4, 5 and 6. Courtney and Zuber noted schedule conflicts with those dates.

I r Informal Discussion May 5, 1986 Page 2 Franklin explained that with any County subdivision reviewed by the City there is an application to the County and an application made to the City. Franklin stated fees are paid to the County and City for two separate reviews. Franklin stated the Davis' gave the right-of-way of Mormon Trek Boulevard to the City. In response to Zuber, Franklin explained the Davis' had to come before the City because the property has been built on and not subdivided and they should have come before the City and County before the property was actually constructed on. Zuber stated there should be exception in this case. Franklin explained there should have been a subdivision when three buildings and lots were established and at this point, with a fourth building and a fourth lot, the Davis' have been apprised that a subdivision is required. Zuber asked if the Davis' lost property to the new highway construction. Franklin said the Davis' were compensated for property used for con- struction of Interstate 380 and the Mormon Trek realignment. Plaza Cafe Reel 86-C45, Side 1 Timmins stated that terminology "sidewalk cafe" is not being used because there are no sidewalks in the plaza and there may be a need in the future to regulate the sidewalk cafes in other parts of town. Timmins explained a comprehensive redraft of Chapter 9 of the Code is being presented. Timmins reviewed Ordinances amending Chapter 9 and Chapter 5, including definitions of the plaza cafe and outdoor service areas. Timmins stated the ordinance provides that a plaza cafe is established when someone applies to the City for a plaza cafe permit and the property is leased to that individual with a formal lease approved by the City Council by resolution. Timmins added the lease will extend May 1 to August 31 and hours of operation will be provided in the lease. Timmins stated the use of alcohol is addressed in the outdoor service ordi- nance. Timmins explained that a plaza cafe permit and lease and permission to operate an outdoor service area are required to use alcoholin the plaza cafe. Timmins said changes were made to the exemption relating to Outdoor Service Areas which were existing at the point in time when the earlier regulations were adopted, and to the exemption for "outdoor service areas abutting the plaza." Regarding exemptions that were drafted in the outdoor service area regulations, Timmins stated pre-existing outdoor service areas can apply for exemptions from the physical requirements (access, screening), but they have to demonstrate a compelling need and that the exemption would not be injuri- ous to health, welfare and safety. Timmins said they have one year from the date of enactment to get such an exemption. Timmins stated the City could justify the blanket exemption for plaza cafes and outdoor service areas in the plaza from these same physical requirements as long as they observe the limited hours of operation specified for plaza cafes and outdoor cafes adja- cent to the plaza. In response to Zuber, Timmins explained an outdoor service area is not to be accessible from any place except the building which it abuts, but that there is an exception for outdoor service areas in the plaza area. Timmins said that the operator of the outdoor service areas is required to ensure seating _,Lk, r Informal Discussion May 5, 1986 Page 3 capacity of the abutting building is not exceeded. Strait inquired about liability. Timmins said the lease requires the operator to agree contractually to indemnify, defend and hold the City harmless and carry insurance. Timmins said there may be more liability in terms of policing the plaza. Helling stated he does not anticipate any major problems but there may be some noise problems. Zuber raised concerns about the impact of the plaza cafes to adjacent busi- nesses. Timmins stated the businesses adjacent to the plaza cafe have vested interest in knowing what is going on; the plaza cafe does not necessarily constitute an obstruction of the right-of-way and should make their inten- tions known to all abutting owners to allow them to express any concerns to Council; and Council can address those concerns and make a specific finding. Zuber asked what the City's liability would be if a plaza cafe causes an adjacent businesses sales to decrease. Timmins stated that he has not found any legal cases that addresses that specific situation. Timmins explained there have been legal cases addressing when cities create a particular change in traffic patterns and cause businesses to lose their primary access. Timmins explained that as long as access to a particular street is preserved there would not necessarily be a claim because circuity of travel causes a drop in business; the courts have said that just because it is more circui- tous to get to your store and there has been a loss of business, it doesn't mean that you don't have access to the street and the city owes you money for denial of access. Strait asked what the Downtown Association and the Chamber of Commerce posi- tions are. McDonald explained there are several businesses for plaza cafes and several businesses against them. McDonald stated businesses have raised concerns about how the plaza cafes will be regulated and that the ordinance addresses those potential problems. Zuber stated a public hearing should be held. Ambrisco asked if the legal staff has addressed the issue of screening exposed areas during consumption of alcohol on the public right-of-way. Timmins explained that the justifications for making the screening exemptions for plaza cafes are that the months and hours of operation are limited and plaza cafes are already in an active and heavily pedestrian oriented area. Ambrisco asked if the City would allow plaza bricks to be removed or drilled into to anchor down materials. Helling said the City would not permit bricks to be removed or drilled into. Courtney asked if the open container ordinance was addressed. Timmins stated that cafes are not a public area but he will further research that issue. McDonald spoke in favor of the plaza cafes and noted that plaza cafes will be reviewed on a yearly basis. Ambrisco raised concerns that plaza cafes may force additional competition among businesses, congest the plaza area, deter development of non-food retail establishments and serve only one segment of the population. In response to Zuber, Ambrisco said the Downtown Association voted 16 - for and 15 - against plaza cafes. McDonald said the Downtown Association decided to not take a formal position. Strait raised concerns about creating congestion in the plaza area. Councilmembers discussed the need to hold a public hearing on the ordinances and a majority of Council agreed to hold that public hearing before making a final decision.
