Informal Council Discussion: May 27, 1986, at 6:40 p.m, in the Council Cham-
bers at the Civic Center. Mayor Bill Ambrisco presiding.

WATER/SEWER RATES Reel 86-C-48, Side 1
Vitosh stated Council received the May 1986 water and sewer system report which
included reports on proposed rate increases and financing for wastewater treat-
ment facility project.
PROPOSED WATER RATE INCREASE. Vitosh explained the water rate increases are
proposed over a tFree year basis and would be sufficient to cover operating
costs, debt service costs for the east side water storage tank and the water
plant computer system. Council reviewed the bar chart comparison for the water
user rates with 16 other communities in Iowa. Brinton stated rates have been
kept low because staffing levels and payroll costs have been kept to a minimum.
Ambrisco stated the public should be informed about the benefits to Iowa City
from running such an efficient system.
PROPOSED SEWER RATE INCREASES. Vitosh reviewed the proposed sewer rate in-
creases and said rates wi be raised to a level to provide sufficent revenue
to cover the annual debt service amount on the bonds the City will be issuing
for the proposed wastewater treatment project. Vitosh explained the debt
service program for the wastewater treatment project will be a level annual
debt service amount so that debt service costs will be spread out equally over
the next 25 years. Council reviewed the reports average household cost chart
(page 9). In response to Baker, Vitosh said a total water/sewer/refuse bill at
the end of the three year period (based upon 2000 cubic foot consumption for a
two month period) will be $61.89.
McDonald asked if Iowa City would still be eligible for future federal grants
if the proposed project is 100% locally funded. Ken Haynie, bond counsel, said
the proposed financing for the wastewater treatment project does disqualify the
City from receiving federal grant monies. Haynie explained the Clean Water Act
does require that communities are obligated to meet federal requirements by
July 1, 1988; the EPA and State Department of Air, Water and Waste Management
are in the process of requiring each plant operator to submit a plan for clean
water compliance; and many communities are in the same situation as Iowa City.
Baker inquired about the impact on the bond market from communities having to
finance major wastewater treatment facility projects. Haynie said the bond
market will be affected and there are only a limited amount of facilities in
_A'

the state of Iowa that produce materials used in wastewater treatment plant
construction. Haynie stated the bond market is favorable at this time to sell
the proposed 25 year bonds.
FINANCING FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY PROJECT. Vitosh recommended sell -
OT
sewer revenue ons to finance the project and
ing a singTe issue to sell
the bonds competitively. In response to Baker, Vitosh said the alternative to
sell a combination of GO bonds and revenue bonds was studied. Vitosh explained
it would be disadvantageous to sell the GO bonds because there would only be a
$300,000 savings over 25 years, a substantial amount of the City's debt capac-
ity would be used, and the City's bond rating could be affected. Vitosh said
the City would not fund the project entirely with GO bonds because of their 20
year maturity date and the City's entire debt capacity would be used. Wayne
Burggraaff said Moody's rating committee considers how quickly debt is paid,
the amount of outstanding debt, and the local economy - all of which are good
in Iowa City. In response to Baker, Burggraaff said there is approximately one
quarter percent difference in interest rates from Triple "A" versus Double "A"
rated bonds. Burggraaff explained the City hopes to obtain a Single "A" bond
rating for the new issuance by demonstrating that the rate increases over the
next three years will increase the level of revenue to meet debt service re-
quired on the bond issuance. There will be a coverage covenant, and enough
proceeds will be provided to establish debt service and improvements reserves.
In response to Courtney, Vitosh said she will provide him with information on
the current interest rates and time remaining on the City's outstanding bonds.
In response to Baker, Vitosh said a competitive sale is the better sale method
becuse writ-
ersathatmt allows the are most interested. to SeCourt eyll the ocontendednds on ethateadate to the r
negotiated sale would
be better.
Vitosh said a public hearing on the proposed water and sewer rate increases and
first reading on the rate ordinance is scheduled on June 3, the second and
third readings on the rate ordinance is June 17, and a presentation to Moody's
June 26. McDonald recommended holding the first and second rate ordinance
readings on June 3 with the final reading on June 17.
Baker asked when the Council will discuss impact fees. Timmins said the legal
department will present information in late June or mid-July. Haynie stated
that under state law impact charges are not sewer revenues and, therefore,
impact fees would not be available for the financing of the wastewater treat-
ment facility project. Baker asked the legal department to research the case
law and other communities' ordinances as it relates to impact fees.

go to the lobby area to assist handicapped persons and the City has abided
by the federal regulations requiring the City to make reasonable accommoda-
tions for handicapped persons.
3. Karr noted that there may not be enough Councilmembers available for quorum
at the June 29 meeting and requested Councilmembers to contact her regard-
ing summer vacation schedules.
CITIZEN INPUT Reel 86-050, Side 2
Kathy Johnson stated there are junk cars located on South Highway 218
(Russell's Salvage Yard); the proposed entrance to East/West Oriental Foods and
apartments on Gilbert Street will be dangerous because it is located on a hill
and curve; and the railroad crossing located at Gilbert and Benton Street is
not level with the street. Timmins stated the Planning Department has taken
aerial photos of the area to determine the exact location of junk cars and
property owners will be approached. Courtney and Baker explained there will be
two accesses, one on Gilbert Street and one from behind the property, to the
East/West Oriental Foods and apartments. Helling said staff will check on the
railroad crossing located on Gilbert and Benton Street.
Meeting adjourned at 7:55 PM.

The recommendation of the Urban Environment Ad Hoc Committee noted as
follows: Recommendation of the Urban Environment Ad Hoc Committee that the
City Council adopt measures which will encourage the preservation of existing
tree cover and other natural features along all of Iowa City's entranceways,
will encourage the development of entranceways in a manner that presents an
attractive and inviting impression to the motorist entering the City, and
which will discourage uses that blight the City's entranceways: These meas-
ures should include: (1) Adoption of an overlay zone or similar designation
which extends along the right-of-way and 150 feet from the paving on either
side of it from the corporate boundaries to a point on each entranceway. The
overlay zone would require the submission of a site development plan for any
construction, expansion, or reconstruction which is located, in whole or in
part, within the overlay zone, except for single-family dwellings and du-
plexes. (2) Existing ordinances and statutes relating to nuisances should be
strengthened to permit the City to take action to eliminate visually
blighting conditions along entranceways. The Urban Environment Ad Hoc Com-
mittee recommends that the City Council direct that the Planning and Zoning
Commission in its review of the subdivision ordinance and Comprehensive Plan
give consideration to buffers between different land uses and to scenic
vistas. Moved by McDonald, seconded by Dickson, to refer the additional

(Item A27) Timmins stated there has been a request for a simple assignment
of the depot property lease from Mr. Spellmen to Mr. Rorex; Mr. Rorex would
like some assurances that Council will enter into a new lease agreement at
the end of the present lease's term; and it would be appropriate to have a
new lease with the change in ownership. Timmins explained Council action at
tomorrow's formal Council meeting would assign the current lease to Mr. Rorex
through November 30, 1986, and the Legal Department is recommending a new
lease with Mr. Rorex upon expiration of the current lease. Council agreed to
the recommendation to enter into a new lease agreement with Mr. Rorex.

RISE Application - Scott Boulevard Reel 86-53, Side 1
Davidson explained the RISE application will require the Johnson County Board
of Supervisors to pass a resolution endorsing the project and accepting
jurisdiction of the local road between the city limits and I-80 if the road
is reconstructed by the IDOT. Davidson said the Chamber of Commerce, BDI,
First Capitol Economic Development and the IDOT are also involved in the
grant application.
Davidson said there are three parts to the project: 1) finish construction
of Scott Boulevard, Court Street to Rochester Avenue; 2) reconstruction of
local road, Iowa City city limits to Interstate 80; and 3) completion of
Heinz Road in the BDI Industrial Park. Ambrisco inquired about the design
plans for the Scott Boulevard and local road intersection. Davidson said
there will be a T -intersection located west of the adjoining Zajicek prop-
erty. Davidson showed Councilmembers a map of the area.
Davidson explained the City will request 75% RISE funding and 25% local
funding for the Scott Blvd. and Heinz Road project and the local road project
will be funded entirely by the IDOT. Helling said 25% of the cost of the
Heinz Road project will be assessed back to BDI. Davidson said the applica-
tion will be submitted to the RISE competitive rating program and the City
will receive notification regarding the status of the grant application
within 60 days of the September 1 application deadline.
Sewage Treatment Facility Project Management Agreement Reel 86-53, Side 1
Baker asked Metcalf & Eddy representatives to explain what will be done by
their company. Bob Maxman, Metcalf & Eddy Regional Vice President, explained
Metcalf & Eddy will prepare the preliminary and final design to upgrade and
expand the sewage treatment facility; prepare the equipment purchase docu-
ments and purchase agreements; construction inspection and supervision,
start-up, acceptance and certification; and the initial operation and mainte-
nance of the facility. Maxman said Metcalf & Eddy will be responsible for
the operation of the facility for a two year period and have a 15 -year con-
tinuing liability. Maxman said 80,000 manhours will be provided by Metcalf &
Eddy and two persons, a project manager and a project engineer, will be
stationed in Iowa City. In response to Ambrisco, Maxman said Metcalf & Eddy
will work with the City of Iowa City a prequalification process to subcon-
tract design, construction and inspection work and the City Council has final
authority for any subcontract agreements.
Presale Analysis - GO Bond Issue and Sewer Revenue Bond Issue
Reel 86-53, Side 1
Vitosh said Council received presale analysis done by Evensen-Dodge for both
the bond issues.
Vitosh said the $38,950,000 of sewer revenue bonds will be issued. Burggraaff
explained the bond issue will extent through year 2012, the debt service will
be a level debt service and the utility rate increases will provide adequate
amount of revenues to make the debt service payment and meet the coverage
requirement. Burggraaff said the bond sale is scheduled to occur July 22 and
he will make a special presentation with Ambrisco, Helling and Vitosh to
_Z-- ? r
=lea
a
Moody's Investors Service in New York. Burggraaff emphasized that the secu-
rity of the bond issue is the revenue from the utilities system and not the
general obligation of the City.
Vitosh said the presale analysis on the GO bond issue establishes the issue
amount at $6,350,000. Vitosh explained the public hearing is only for
$2,625,000 because the swimming pool issue is not included in the public
hearing. The swimming pool issue has already been presented to the citizens
of Iowa City through the election process. Burggraaff stated the GO bond
issue will provide proceeds for:
Swimming pool, $3,725,000, structured for 16 years through year
2002, level debt service.
East side water storage tank, structured for 16 years through year
2002, level debt service.
Capital improvements project, $1.5 million, ten principal payments
over an 11 -year period, level principal payments.
Burggraaff said the $6,350,000 GO bond issue sale is scheduled for July 1.
In response to Ambrisco, Vitosh said no funds from this GO bond issue will be
used for the Heinz Road pavement extension.
Vitosh explained that $200,000 from last October's $900,000 GO bond issue
will be used on the east side water storage tank project and the other
$700,000 will be used on the Benton Street bridge widening project. Vitosh
said $1.1 million will be used from this GO bond issue to finish the east
side water storage tank project. Ambrisco asked when the City will receive
money from the bond issue. Vitosh said the City will receive the total
amount of money from the bond issue 3-4 weeks after the actual sale date and
the money will be invested until it is spent on the projects.
