like' some assurances that Council will enter into a new lease agreement 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

Presale Analysis - 80 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
4
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.

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
recommendations of the Urban Environmental Ad Hoc Committee to the Planning
and Zoning Commission. The Mayor declared the motion carried unanimously,
5/0, Strait, Zuber absent.
Moved by McDonald, seconded by Dickson, to concur with the following
recommendation of the Design Review Committee: The Committee recommends

iexisting language regarding the number of parking spaces required asoma
result of a use conversion; a unique feature of the ordinance amend-
ment is that no tree having a minimum diameter of ten inches measured
four feet above ground shall be required to be removed; and no other
natural features would constitute a limitation to the provision of
additional parking. In response to Dickson, Ambrisco said the tree
located at Sigma Tau Gamna fraternity (711 Burlington Street), will
not have to be removed if this ordinance is adopted. Beagle explained
that the Zoning Code Interpretation Panel was unable to unanimously
decide what constitutes a "physical limitation,° as it relates to the
provision of additional parking space. Therefore the matter was
referred to the City Manager. The City Manager requested staff to
pursue an ordinance amendment to recognize trees as a limitation to
the provision for additional parking spaces. Beagle noted that under
the use conversion procedure, that fraternity would provide 16 spaces
if the ordinance amendment is adopted.
Courtney inquired about the future problems created by the adoption of
the ordinance. Beagle explained the ordinance amendment only applies
to use conversions. Council discussed the location of the parking
spaces at the Sigma Tau Gamna fraternity property. Beagle said that
the fraternity and City staff will continue to look at parking alter-
natives.

AGENDA ITEM 24. Cain stated the Small -Mears Building Company has received
an offer to purchase urban renewal Parcel 65-2b from the Hawkeye-Bay
States Limited Partnership and the urban renewal contract requires Council
approval for the sale or transfer of land prior to the completion of the

nership owned by Rich Solowski and John Solowski has offered to buy the
entire project and financing for the project has been approved.

arch will require an overlap onto the Blackhawk Minipark property. Cain

proposed strip to the new developer; this resolution also sets public
hearing on July 15; and the developer has requested Council take action on
the resolution after the public hearing.
AGENDA ITEM 27. Cain explained the developer will be using a local con-
struction firm and a resolution is necessary to allow use of the 25 foot

HUMAN SERVICES COORDINATOR POSITION: Reel 86-054, Side 1
McDonald stated Councilmembers received Schmeiser's June 26th memo.

Baker, Schmeiser said the supporting costs include usual office expenses,
rent and utilities. Baker stated the City needs to clarify to the County
that the full-time position funding formula needs to be revised in next
year's budget. Council agreed to the recommendation with the understand-
ing that the funding formula will be revised in next year's budget.

BROADBAND TELECOMMUNICATIONS ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS: Reel 86-054, Side 2
Broadband Telecommunications Commission Chairperson Bill Terry explained
that C -SPAN II is considered a good use of the government channel on cable
channel 29. Terry said C -SPAN II will be used about four hours per day.
Heritage Cable may have to switch C -SPAN II to a different channel later
to allow
r tocal programming on channel 29. In response to BakerHellin,
9 said City Council meetings are not on as much because of the
greater flexibility provided by the new computer programming module. In
response to McDonald, Terry said that the amendments proposed give the
Broadband Telecommunications Commission more enforcement over commitments
made by the cable company, correct and precise language in the original
ordinance, and provide for notification of request for service to confirm
via a postcard back to the customer that cable service has been requested.
In response to Ambrisco, Terry said the coverage of the U.S. Senate Will
switch from C -SPAN I on channel 22 to C -SPAN II on channel 29.
GAS AND ELECTRIC FRANCH ISES: Reel 86-054, Side 2
Timmins noted that Councilmembers have copies of the proposed ordinance
and the public hearing will be held on July 1. In response to Baker,
Timmins said that the Resources Conservation Commission was not sent a
copy of the proposed changes, but copies are on file at the City Clerk's
office. Timmins noted that Sections 2 and 14 are the only changes since
the draft copy was provided on June 16.
Baker and Dickson stated that the RCC should have received copies of all
drafts so they could consider proposed changes before the public hearing.
Timmins suggested opening the public hearing as planned but continuing it
to the July 15th regular Council meeting. Timmins noted that he didn't
want to distribute copies of the ordinance until it was in its final form
and negotiations were complete. Baker responded that he is against hold-
ing the public hearing until everyone including the RCC has a chance to
prepare for it. Council agreed that the public hearing should be contin-

COUNCIL TIME: Reel 86-054, Side 2
1. Baker reported on the meeting of the Johnson County Council of Govern-
ments JCCOG Animal Shelter Joint Committee with local communities and
Coralville. He suggested that Iowa City staff and Council discuss the
renovation of the Animal Shelter at the July 14 informal Council
meeting. Baker said that there was a tentative drawing for the
$90,000 project, but other Johnson County governments want a clarifi-
cation on the cost before making a firm commitment.

5. In response to McDonald's question about Kevin O'Malley's June 27,
1986, memo regarding purchase of property and liability insurance for
FY87. Ambrisco explained that Gallagher Insurance Company from Chicago
did not notify the City of changes in their plan proposal in time for
the local insurance group to respond. Because the proposals are s
different in their types of coverage, the risk management opted foor
the local insurance group.
6. Ambrisco reported that he travelled to New York City with Vitosh and
Helling to meet with Moody's Bond Rating Firm. The City has main-
tained its Triple "A" GO bond rating but has not yet heard the status
of the City revenue bonds rating. There was also a meeting between the
City representatives and representatives of three major investment
