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 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.

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. r- ar 2 C. Ordinance to vacate a portion of Hollywood Boulevard from 400 Pa<r i-s-�—iT i -I D.

Council agreed to the recommendation with the understand- ing that the funding formula will be revised in next year's budget. t ag, 6Vr 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.

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.
