Re: Recommendations for 1988 CDBG Funding
As usual, Congress has not yet determined the CDBG funding level for 1988,
so we are once more working with "best guesses". Therefore, in order to
try to avoid the expense of additional publications and public hearings,
this years CCN recommendations are shown for a best case and a worst case
scenario. The best case involves approximately a 2% entitlement funding
cut over last year, which, together with income and carryover, would
provide approximately $660,000. The omately $560s for00 for allocation.

Housing Rehabilitation.Housing Rehabilitation includes
five
existing programs: comp rehensive rehab, weatherization, paint/si-
ding,
/
ding, residential accessibility and emergency repair for low-income
homeowners. It also includes administration of the Section 312 and
the Rental Rehabilitation programs. The City has been allocated
$93,000 for the rental rehab program.
We are also recommending that the Housing Rehabilitation programs be
broadened to include rehabilitation of residential facilities of
Human Service Agencies. This. will mean that the rehabilitation of
these facilities will have requirements similar to those of owner -
occupied and rental housing. Agencies will compete with LMI owners
for rehabilitation monies in terms of waiting lists, urgency of need,
housing code violations and income requirements. This is one reason
the Housing Rehab "pot" has been increased to 0o e�all benefit
still feel that the rehab program gives the biggest
to the City, as well as regenerating monies through loan repayments
for use on future projects.
This expanded Housing Rehab program further substantiates the need
for a permanent (60%) Housing Rehab Assistant, with experience in
rehabilitation construction.
Low Income Home Ownership Assistance. Both in Iowa City and
nationally, there has been concern about problems faced by
low/moderate income households (those earning SO -100% median income)

CCN recommends that if it is clear by July 1, 1988 that construction
on the storm sewer will be delayed further (i.e. to 1989), the
$145,000 of 1987 CDBG funds should be used to alleviate flooding
according to the original plans for the neighborhood, and that
$100,000 of 1988 COBG monies earmarked for this project be reallo-
cated to other projects. CCN feels very strongly that the
Miller/Orchard neighborhood has been waiting for a long time to
receive some assistance, particularly since their priority of a park
for the neighborhood could not be implemented.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me at 356-5244.

Funding for this project would be used to ascertain the specific
problems in Iowa City, to set up some form of revolving loan program,
hopefully in conjunction with local lenders, and implement such a
program in late 1988 and 1989. Additional monies would be required
for the initial revolving loan pool. Depending on the type of
program these monies could be a mixture of public/private match and
federal tax credits. Public monies could come from the CDBG program
income received through the sale of the remaining Lower Ralston Creek
parcels.
3. Benton Street Storm Drainage. Last year $145,000 was allocated to a
project that would alleviate the flooding south of Benton Street in
the Miller/Orchard neighborhood. These monies were to fund one phase
of a four phase project to control runoff into the area at a total
cost of approximately $800,000.
When it became clear that the sanitary sewer on Benton Street would
be replaced in conjunction with the City's sanitary sewer improve-
ments, the Public Works Department recommended changing the implemen-
tation of this project. CCN and the Miller/Orchard neighborhood
agreed that the storm sewer running in the same trench as the
sanitary sewer on Benton Street, would accomplish stormwater control
for the neighborhood more efficiently, at less cost ($650,000) and
with less disruption to the neighborhood.
To date, one property on Benton Street has been purchased for
$50,080, and design plans for the storm sewer will be completed by
December 1987. The Public Works Department estimates that construc-
tion on the storm/sanitary sewer could begin in the summer of 1988.

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 27, 1987
To: City Council
From: Mary Nugen Associate Planner
Re: Guidelines for Recommending CDBG Projects
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pub-
lished regulations for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs
on September 27, 1983. These regulations implement changes made through
the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 by congressional amend-
ments in 1978, 1980 and 1981. Additional amendments were added in Novem-
ber, 1983.
National Objectives
One or more of the following national objectives of the Housing and Commu-
nity Development Act of 1974 must be met in using the funds.
1. Benefit low- and moderate -income families. At least 5111 of those
benefitting from COBE projects must have an income at 80% or below the
local median income.
2. Aid in the prevention of or elimination of slums and blight.
3. Meet other community development needs having particular urgency
because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the
health or welfare of the community.
Eligible Activities:
CDBG assistance may be used by public agencies or private non-profit
entities for the following activities: property acquisition; disposition;
construction; rehabilitation or installation of public facilities and
improvements; clearance and demolition; provision of public services
(including labor, supplies and materials); relocation assistance; housing
rehabilitation; historic preservation; economic development activities;
planning activities and general program administration. All must serve a
public purpose.
Ineligible Activities:
The range of activities which may not be found is much narrower. Accord-
ing to the HUD regulations, the purchase of "equipment, fixtures, motor
vehicles, furnishings or other personal property not an integral struc-
tural fixture is generally ineligible." New housing construction is also
ineligible; however, COBG funds may be used for projects that qualify as a
public service.
A0154,
q
Public services are those activities directed to improving the community's
public services and facilities, including but not limited to those con-
cerned with employment, crime prevention, child care, health, drug abuse,
education, energy conservation, welfare recreational needs. The activity
must either be a new service or a quantifiable increase in the level of
service or a service previously funded through State or Federal funds
which are no longer available.
The amount of CDBG funds used for public services, including services
provided by subrecipients, shall not exceed 15% of each grant.
In 1986, the City Council requested that the entire amount available for
public services be reserved for the "Aid to Agencies" fund which was
formerly funded with General Revenue Sharing monies.
1983 Amendments to the Community Development Act:
The Housing and Urban Recovery Act (public law 98-181) enacted November
30, 1983, made a number of changes to the Community Development Block
Grant program. These requirements regarding the content of program state-
ments, citizen participation and eligible activities add to those
described in the current CDBG regulations published in the Federal Regis-
ter on September 23, 1983. There are few statutory provisions that
supersede the current regulations.
Some changes and additions contained in the 1983 amendments include:
1. Public facilities except for buildings for the general conduct of
government are now eligible without restrictions.
2. Buildings for the general conduct of government are defined as city
halls, county administrative buildings, state capitol or office build-
ings or other facilities in which the legislative or general adminis-
trative _
affairs of the
government conducted.
oval of
architecturalbarriers ibuildi gs forthe geHowever,
ofmggovern-
ment remains an eligible activity.
3. Grants to non-profit organizations to develop shared housing programs
for elderly persons except new housing construction are now author-
ized.
4. CDBG assistance may be used for the development and administration of
the rental rehabilitation and housing programs assisted under Section
17 of the United States Housing Act of 1937. (This is now being done
by the City.)
Another statutory requirement set specific criteria for activities
benefitting low- to moderate -income persons. These criteria are:
1. The activity must be carried out in a neighborhood consisting predomi-
nantly of persons of low- to moderate -income and provide services for
such persons, or
2. The activity must involve facilities designed for use predominantly by
a persons of low- to moderate -income, or
M
3
3. The activities must involve employment of persons, the majority of
wham are persons of low- to moderate -income.
If you have questions about the HUD regulations or the eligibility of
particular proposals, please call me or any of the CDBG staff.

Elderly Services Agency, Lutheran Social Service, and Mayor's Youth Em-
ployment Program are long-term providers of high quality care. I have not
found any reasons, administrative or programmatic, for recommending the
denial of these proposals. Each of them would enable an already strong
agency to better serve the Iowa City community.
This year, CCN is again being asked to recommend using 15% (the maximum
allowable) of Iowa City's 1988 entitlement funding to support the City of
Iowa City's Aid -to -Agencies program. Until FY87, Aid -to -Agencies funding
came entirely from General Revenue Sharing. When General Revenue Sharing
monies were not available for FY88, Iowa City followed CCN's recommenda-
tion and used $93,150 of CDBG funding to replace a portion of the $195,509
Aid -to -Agencies shortfall. In order to minimize monitoring requirements,
CDBG funds are expended for only three agencies. But, CDBG support actu-
ally impacts all agencies which are funded through the Aid -to -Agencies
Program:
Big Brothers/Big Sisters
Crisis Intervention Center and Food Bank
Domestic Violence Project
Elderly Services Agency
HACAP Headstart
MECCA
Mayor's Youth Employment Program
Rape Victim Advocacy Program _
Red Cross
United Action for Youth
Willow Creek/Mark IV Neighborhood Center
Continuation of CDBG funding for the Aid -to -Agencies Program is imperative
to enable these agencies to continue to provide their important services
to the people of Iowa City. —

1. Elderly Services Agency Request - $4,000
Housing Repair for Low/Moderate Income Frail Elderlv
The Elderly Services Agency (ESA) has been operating since 1980. It has
seven programs: Chore and Respite Care, Outreach and Advocacy, Informa-
tion and Referral, Shared Housing, Frail Elderly Program, Rural Elderly
Program and Housing Repair. ESA has maintained the goal of helping
people 60 years of age and older in Johnson County to stay in their own
homes as long as possible. During FY87, ESA served a total of 759 Iowa
City residents (unduplicated count) through these programs. ESA's fund-
ing sources include Iowa City, Johnson County, Coralville, United Way,
State Elderly Care, and Title IIIB.
The clients of the Housing Repair Program have been primarily low-income,
fragile elderly. Moderate -income, extremely fragile elderly persons and
non -elderly handicapped individuals have also participated. From May
through October, 1987, this program has provided 23 clients with many
types of housing repair services which have included: roof repairs,
plumbing and carpentry repairs, painting and patching leaks on houses,
installing handrails and tub bars, and concrete work. All of this was
accomplished at a total cost of $7,925.26. ESA is requesting a continua-
tion of this program with funding of $4,000. This money will again be
used to ensure that the fragile elderly in Iowa City will be able to live
in their own homes free of health hazards. It is estimated that 15 to 20
households will be served in 1988. The goal of this program is to help
elderly people maintain their independence in a safe environment. ESA
ensures that all housing repairs are low cost yet adequate to resolve the
problem.
2. Lutheran Social Service - Coffelt Place
Request - $11,000
Lutheran Social Service is a state-wide family and children's service
providing child placement, family counselling, service to expectant
single parents, and residential care. All of these services are avail-
able within Iowa City. The agency is supported by Johnson County, United
Way, State fees and grants, and by contributions from members of the
Lutheran Church.
Lutheran Social Service provides effective group home services at Coffelt
Place for boys aged 15 to 18 years. During the 12 month period, Septem-
ber, 1986 through August, 1987, 28 individuals were served; their average _
length of stay at Coffelt Place was six months. Placement in this group
home is very often the last attempt at keeping a youth from being placed
in Eldora, the State Training School for Boys. These young men are a
very difficult group to care for; Lutheran Social Service has done an —
outstanding job with them.
The improvements to Coffelt Place for which CDBG funding is requested are _
finishing the basement floor and air conditioning the house. Neither
project is required because of Code violations. Finishing the basement
floor would increase storage space in the basement and free other areas
of the house for programmatic uses. Air conditioning is important to
enhance the probability of the program's success with the troubled youth
who reside at Coffelt Place. The combination of a sweltering Iowa summer

and a group of seriously disturbed, older adolescent boys can be a vola-
tile one. It is hoped that providing a more liveable residential envi-
ronment would have a real impact on the progress of these
difficult -to -handle youth.
3. Mayor's Youth Employment Program
Terrell Mill Park Accessible Boat Ramp and Trail Request - $8,532
Youth Serving Facility Exterior Renovation Request - $6,800
The Mayor's Youth Employment Program (MYEP) was begun in I968 to provide
— employment opportunities to disadvantaged youth in Iowa City and sur-
rounding communities within Johnson County. In FY87, MYEP served 160
^ young people. MYEP's funders include Iowa City, Coralville, Johnson
County, United Way, and the Department of Economic Development of the
State of Iowa.
In 1983, MYEP expanded its program to include the Iowa Youth Corps Con-
servation Project, in which youth aged 15 to 18 are randomly selected by
the State of Iowa to work on conservation -related projects during seven
weeks of the summer. MYEP is requesting funds for two Iowa Conservation
Corps projects. The Terrell Mill Park Project includes the development of
a trail and the construction of a new boat dock, both of which would be
usable by individuals who have handicapping conditions. The Youth Serv-
ing Facility Exterior Renovation Project involves flashing, chimney and
sidewalk repair; painting; and installation of additional lighting at the
building which will house United Action for Youth, the Mayor's Youth
Employment Program and Youth Homes. An important aspect of this project
is the involvement of youth -serving agency clients in improving this
building. It is hoped that their participation will help to create a
real - rsse of "ownership" of their relationships with facility

MEM)OMANDUM
Date: October 13, 1987
To: CCN
From:( (Marianne Milkman, CDBG Program Coordinator
Re: Recommendations for 1988 CDBG Funding
The funding picture looks a little brighter today! It appears that Con-
gress will settle for only small cuts in the HUD programs (I hope Reagan
agrees), and we are .likely to have about $60,000 in carryover funds also.
Nevertheless, we have prepared two recommended budgets as originally
suggested, just in case the cuts are larger than we now anticipate.
Comments on Staff Recommendations
Staff reviewed all projects with an eye to maximizing low/moderate-income
(LMI) benefit, loans, and the overall benefit to the City.
1. Assistance to LMI households to acquire homes. Originally $6,000 was
requested; however, on talking further with the National Development
Council, it appears that we should budget $10,000 in order to deter-
mine need, set up an appropriate program, and train staff to implement
such a program. It is recommended that program income from the sale
of Lower Ralston Creek properties will be used to set up a revolving
loan fund for the project.
2. Disposition. I neglected to list this activity previously, but it
needs to be budgeted as a separate item. We will have approximately
$2,000 from last year's allocation for disposition activities as part
of the carryover funds. Monies in this activity are used to obtain
appraisals and surveys, and to cover other expenses associated with
marketing public property.
3. Benton Street Culvert. Because the scope of this project has changed,
I propose to cancel it as a 1986 project and list it again as a 1987
project at $145,000. In other words the $145,000 will just be trans-
ferred as a carryover from the 1986 entitlement, but it is of course
not included in the total $60,000 of carryover funds.
Since construction on this project is unlikely to start before fall
1988, additional funds could be allocated from 1989 entitlement mon-
ies, if appropriate.
4. Park Projects. Staff is not recommending any park projects for fund-
ing. Other projects have a higher priority particularly through their
direct benefit to a larger number of LMI persons,
/S;,f4
o•
Y
N
5. Housing Rehabilitation. We are recommending that the housing reha-
bilitation programs be broadened to include rehabilitation of residen-
tial facilities of Human Service Agencies. This will mean that the
rehabilitation of these facilities will have requirements similar to
those of owner -occupied and rental housing. Agencies will compete
with LMI homeowners for rehabilitation monies in terms of waiting
lists, urgency of need, housing code violations and income require-
ments. The housing rehab "pot" has therefore been increased to
$340,000. We still feel that rehab gives the biggest overall benefit
to the City, as well as the biggest bang for the buck.
6. The MYEP request for painting and other improvements to the Youth
Services facility at 410 Iowa Avenue, has been left as a separate
item, because is it not residential rehab. With the "clients" of the
youth service agencies working on this project, as well as the
leveraging of State funds, the activity should have long-term bene-
fits.
7. Economic Development. The CEBA match project should be a win/win
situation. If it works the City will leverage considerable private
monies, provide more LMI jobs, increase its economic base, and have a
revolving loan pool for future activities. If it doesn't work, the
funds can be reallocated to other projects.
8. Assistance to Women's and Minority Business Enterprises. Criteria
will need to be set up for this project once the areas of greatest
need are determined. We anticipate doing this through a meeting with
local W/MBE's in January.

Housing Rehabilitation has been a continuing CDBG Project since 1976. —
There are five programs which will be available for low-income, single family, owner occupied
homes in need of repair. One program (Item 6) for rental property is also administered by
the CDBG program.
1. Comprehensive Rehab. - Loan terms available - Depreciating Lien/Life Lien a 3% 15 year
loan. This can be a second mortgage where homeowners can borrow up to $22,000.00.
2. Weatherization Program - This loan is secured by a Promissory Note or Life Lien where
one can borrow $2,500.00 for 5 years.
3. Painting/Siding Loan Program - Loan terms are based on income. Loan amount based on
size of house. Maximum amount is $5,000.00.
4. Residential Accessibility Grant Program - Maximum amount of Grant is $5,000.00.
Grant provides assistance in making homes barrier free for a special population.
5. Emergency Repair - This involves correction of a major violation of the housing code f
which would make the structure uninhabitable. If amount needed is less than $1,000,
then it is a direct grant. If over $1,000 to $3,000 maximum, a life lien is used.
6. Administration of Rental Rehab. Program - The current program provides upto 50%
of the cost of rehab, up to 5,000 per dwelling unit, in the form of a deferred
payment loan. The City's grant for 1987 is $93,000. The proposed grant for 1988
is expected to be approximately the same.

14. Why the project is needed, continued.
FBA's mission is to keep elderly people in their hares. Our existing programs complement _
the proposed project. We should be the organization implementing this project because we
already have established relationships of trust with over 1000 elderly people. The
community is aware that chore and respite care services, both of which contribute to
being able to stay at home, as well as shared housing and outreach/advocacy are performed
regularly by staff at FSA.

16. General Description of Activities:
Explain how goals will be accomplished. Include time schedule, amount of volunteer
or staff time needed, and other pertinent data about the activities. Indicate if
the Project will require the cooperation of other City departments and, if so,
whether they have been contacted.
1. ESA already has a chore and outreach program as well as volunteers committ
to visiting regularly in the homes of elderly people and a shared housing
program which serves our most frail population. These programs furnish
an array of connections to elderly homeowners and they pay the staff for
the time they supply to the proposed project. Last year the director
ran the housing repair program. In the busiest months, it took roughly
15% of her time. The Construction Consultant provided about 160 hours
during that busy time (May to August) which she charged us for, as well
as a good many hours which she contributed as a volunteer.
2. We wrote a Housing Repair manual last year, which was compiled with the
help of Marianne Milkman, Mary Nugent, Pam Barnes, Melody Rockwell and
the ESA staff. We would update that manual this year. We would also
work very closely with the Housing Rehabilitation staff and the rest of
the CDBG administrators, referring jobs over $500 for their consideration.
3. The program time -line begins in the early spring, as soon as the project
has been approved. Advertising through the "Senior Center Post" will take
place in the March/April/May/June issues. The "Post" reaches 7000 elderly
people. Volunteers and staff will be speaking to community organizations
(during that time in a continuing effort to locate elderly homeowners in
need. A construction consultant will be hired as well.
4. Advertising will be placed in the "press Citizen" for qualified workmen.
The rolls of ESA's choreworkers will be combed to find the names of
workmen we have used successfully on chore projects. New workers will
have to file an application for employment, have their references checked,
— an interview with the Coordinator of the Chore program, and, if they
qualify for employment,an insurance certificate stating the required
i
coverage for personal njury/loss/damages, etc.
5. The Director will see that the eligible homeowners fill out the required paperwork, furnisl
income verification, proof of ownership, etc. The Construction Consultant will then be
assigned to visit the homeowner. The tasks necessary to accomplish the repairs will be
detailed, and an estimate of cost for the labor and the materials will be submitted to
the Director. The Director will ask eligible contractors to submit bids and will select
the best person for the job, in consultation at all times with the Construction Consultant
The Construction Consultant will explain the job to the contractor selected, and together
they will visit the site to make sure that the requirements are understood and agreeable
to the homeowner. After the job is finished, the Construction Consultant inspects the
work, calling for any necessary changes. Once those changes are finished, a release will
be signed by the homeowner, the Consultant and the Contractor, upon payment of the bill.
6. The proposed activities will acconplish the goals of the project by insuring advertisement
of the project by word-of-mouth and the newsletter of the A.A.R.P. membership and through
articles placed in the "Senior Center lost." Thus low/moderate income elderly homeowners
living in unsafe/deteriorating structures will be identified when they call, or are
referred to, ESA. Site visits will determine the actual needs of applicants. Competent,
reliable workmen are Rehabilitations and ResidentialAccessibilitby yliststo pandethroughatherChoret�gram in

The Johnson County Subsidized Chore Program which is administered through FSA is the one _
place where we can find funding to do small home repairs for elderly/handicapped people.
Every year, the Johnson County Health Department accepts our proposal to provide subsi-
dized services to the low-income elderly (earning under $400 a month) with a sliding scale I
for services for those earning between $401 and $900. If we can show that the elderly
person is incapable of performing the repairs himself, qualifies financially, and has
no one available to perform the task, then we can use this money to pay for the labor
on the job. The cost of materials is sought from private donations through either the
churches or money donated through the United way campaign and the annual fundraiser FSA
holds.

As new sidewalks are installed or streets are improved, curb ramps are included
at the intersections. However, ramps do not exist in older neighborhoods within
the City. Additional CDBG assistance is requested to link sidewalks within those
neighborhoods with the network of accessible walks in the newer areas of the City.
This project is envisioned as one phase in an effort to make the City's network of
sidewalks more accessible to all our community's residents.

Why is this Project Needed?
A Housing Affordability study indicates that major barriers to homeownership by lower
income families are the difficulty in accumulating a downpayment and problens in
meeting lender's loan criteria. The study indicates that there is a reasonable supply
of housing in the $20-50,000 price range, although some of this stock needs rehabilitat
It is improtant to determine the major need and an effective mechanism for meeting this
need in Iowa City. Such a mechanism might take the form of a low or no interest

The Committee on Community Needs, in its recommendation for

15% of the City,, Public

September 17, 1986
Karen Kubby, Chairperson
Committee on Community Needs
Civic Center
410 E. Washington St.
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Karen and Members of the Committee on Community Needs:
As you are aware, the federal General Revenue Sharing program is unlikely
to be funded by Congress for FY87. The City will therefore no longer
receive approximately $200,000 which have been used annually to fund Human
Service Agencies. The City budget for FY87 will be very tight in general, _
witness the budgeting problems of the Library and the Transit System which
are already under discussion. Thus the Council is looking at possible -
sources of funds for the Human Service Agencies. Under the current HUD
regulations, 15% of each year's CDBG entitlement monies may be used to
fund Public Services, Council is therefore requesting that, at this time,
you reserve 15% of the 1987 CDBG funds for distribution to Human Service
Agencies. This is a change in City policy forced by the reduction in
other federal funds.
We agree with you that it would be better to fund Human Service Agencies
from a more stable source of funds, but we are hard put to find such a
source at this time. If other monies become available for Human Service
Agencies, we will seek your recommendations on allocating the reserved 15%
of 1987 CDBG funds.
I would like to stress how much the Council appreciates the time and _
effort your committee expends in obtaining public input on the use of CDBG
funds, reviewing applications for these funds, ranking the requests ac-
cording to community needs, and making recommendations to the Council. —
Best wishes in your efforts.
o
Yours sincerely, -
William PROrisco
Mayor

Although it may appear that central air conditioning is a luxury for a residential
treatment center, in reality, it is
a necessity. The emotional stability of resi-
dents is always uncomfortable (hot heat) tempers
explode and treatment failures
increase. Central air would help treatment
progress by improving environment.
The dirt floor (about 1/3 of basement) is a health hazard that
I
we must remove.

16. General Description of Activities:
Explain how goals will be accomplished. Include time schedule, amount of volunteer
or staff time needed, and other pertinent data about the activities. Indicate if
the Project will require the cooperation of other City departments and, if so,
whether they have been contacted.
Activities. The loan fund will be used as part of the total financing package for CEBA
proposals. At present these proposals have about 20-25% "community involvement" (i.e.,
local financial support from all sources), 25% from the business, 30-35% from CEBA funds
and the remaining from other funding sources. For a competitive application, the appli-
cant (i.e., the City) should have a least a 10-15% participation (which is part of the
Community involvement) in the financial package.
Use of CDBG funds will require that the business benefitted be able to meet the national
objectives (51% or greater benefit to LMI), and the City will be responsible for deter-
mining that the federal criteria are met (necessary and appropriate, etc.). Thus the
project will require monitoring by the CDBG staff.
In establishing a CEBA-Match Loan Fund, CCN and the City Council should also determine
any guidelines or criteria in addition to the federal ones that would qualify a firm
to request assistance from the CEBA-Match Fund. Therefore, eligibility would be set by
federal and perhaps additional local policies.
Any application to CERA would require City Council authorization prior to submission,
and this would include any allocation of CDBG monies in the financial package. (NOTE:
One requirement for fund participation could be that CCN also make a recommendation or
applications involving the Match -Loan fund.)
Administration. Writing and packaging the CEBA applications would be the responsibility
of the Economic Development Coordinator. The Finance Department would assist in review-
ing the business's financial statements and creditworthiness. The CDBG staff would in-
terpret the eligibility of a business in utilizing the Match -Loan Fund in terms of the
federal and local guidelines and would monitor funded projects to assure compliance
with federal regulations. ff
Schedule. The guideline for the Match -Loan Fund could be developed this fall with CCN I
and the City Council. The fund would then be ready for use by the City in applying for
a CEBA loan or grant for eligible businesses. M,
Cooperation. The Finance Director has been contacted and has agreed to that department'sl
cooperation in this effort. Likewise the CDBG Director has agreed to assist with this
project. ICAD Group, Inc. also will cooperate in marketing the program and identifying
suitable businesses for CEBA applications.

City of Iowa City

Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Ms. Cain:
I am writing to express strong support of the Iowa City Area
Development Group for the proposal to set aside use of an
allocation of CDBG Funds to be used as a local match for
appropriate project applications for CEBA support at the state
level,
As you know, many communities are making applications to the ^
State of Iowa for lottery funds support of corporate expansion `
projects which would generate additional employment in their
respective communities. State funds available for this purpose —'
are limited and consequently tied to a formula driven match of --
local funds invested in the project. Success of future
applications from Iowa City will be directly dependent upon a —
demonstrable investment of support by the applying entity.
Consequently, it is essential that we identify potential sources
of funds which could be used for such a local match.
It should be noted that the designated funds would be used only
in those instances where a corporate expansion would generate
additional positions under CDBG guidelines. The investment of
these matching funds could be considered a way to increase the
effectiveness of our local resources by being able to attract at
least one dollar of matching support from the state for each
local dollar invested for job creation for eligible populations.
I appreciate your consideration and that of the committee for
this concept. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of „
further assistance.

COMMUNITY ECONOMIC BETTERMENT ACCOUNT
Purpose: The purpose of the community economic betterment program is to increase
employment opportunities for Iowans by increasing the level of economic activity
within the state. The program is structured to provide financial assistance to
businesses and industries which require such assistance in order to create new job
opportunities. Such assistance may be provided to encourage:
a. New business start-ups in Iowa,
b. Expansion of existing businesses in Iowa, or
C. The relocation of out-of-state businesses into Iowa.
Program Description: Only cities, counties, or merged area schools may submit
ications under this program. These entities would apply on behalf of
businesses or industries in their areas which expect to create emp o ment
opportunities as noted above.
Eligible business projects for CERA funding include such projects as:
1. Acquisition of land or buildings;
2. Building construction or renovation;
3. Equipment purchases;
4. Operating and maintenance expenses;
5. Site preparation;
6. Infrastructure improvements (sewer, water, roads, etc.) related to a
specific development project.
The form of assistance may be grants, loans, or interest rate reductions. The
policy oof the CEBA program will be to provide assistance only in those sit-
uations where CEBA assistance will make a difference as to whether the project
occurs or not. If CEBA funds are provided, they will be provided in the most
efficient and economical method possible. In other words, loans are generally
favored over grants, and the lower the dollar amount requested, the better.
As a general guideline, requests resulting in more than $2,500 per job are
less competitive.
Rating of projects is based on the following factors:
1. The level of need of the community and the business;
2. The amount of financial assistance provided by the city, county, college, or
other local entity;
3. The amount of equity contributed by the business itself; and
4. The impact of the project in terms of jobs created and retained, diversification,
export potential, etc.
As a general guideline, CEBA funds should not comprise more than 350 of the
total funds required to accomplish the proposed project.
Applications are reviewed monthly and funding decisions are normally made within 30
days of receipt of the application. For application forms or more information,

City Park is easily themost highly utilized park in the community. The largest and most
heavily used section of the park is the lower portion; seven of the eleven shelters are in
Lower City Park, as well as the carnival rides, softball fields, football field, bike/jogging
boys' baseball fields, old stage area, ponds, the bulk of the playground equipment,
path,
horseshoe pitching courts, and most of the picnic areas. The shelters in Lower City Park are
the most popular in the city. To service all this activity, there is only one restroom
available to the general public. This facility is approximately 50 years old, is in very
loction for
poor condition, is too small, and is not
accessible

Due to its location, this restroom facility will need a lift station to function
properly. The overall project is of sufficient magnitude, that it will require some
design work. We believe most of this can be accomplished in-house, with
the assistance. of the City Engineering Division, but it might be necessary
to contract for some architectural/engineering services. In addition to constructing
the lift station and restroom facility, we would hope to construct, to the extent
practicable, handicapped pathways from the shelters to the restroom. The proposed
schedule would be for design work to begin in January, 1988; bids let in April;
construction to begin in May, and completed by July, 1988. The project is of such
a nature.that it will be necessary to construct it by contract.

Dear Peg:
The Iowa City Riverfront Commission endorses your proposal for improve-
ments in Terrell Mill Park. This park, situated along the Iowa River,
offers a beautiful natural setting in which to provide handicapped access
for viewing the river. With the construction and installation of asphalt
pathways and a floating dock with sturdy guardrails, wheelchair-bound
persons would be afforded a means for safe fishing and closeness to the
beauty of the river.
This project, for which you are requesting 1988 CDBG funding, should meet
the national objective of primarily benefitting low- and moderate -income
persons. The park is located in an LMI-eligible census tract/block group
_ (57% LMI). Further, projects targeted to benefit the handicapped have an
automatic (100%) eligibility.
_. The MYEP proposed project is designed in accordance with the Riverfront
Commission's goals and objectives:
1. To provide for public access to and enjoyment of the river and
adjacent land.
2. To encourage public and private cooperation in the maintenance and
use of the Iowa River and adjacent land,
The Riverfront Commission supports this project. We hope that the Commit -
tee
n Needs will concur reco
Council that an
allocation ofsufficient funding be awarded toca r y inoutothis MYEP project
In Terrell Mill Park.
Sincerely,
Ray Helmer, Chairperson

In British Columbia, protecting and enhancing the
beauty of their spectacular outdoors is doing what
comes naturally. The folks in the Provincial Marine
Parks system, for example, do their utmost to keep
sheltered anchorages in their natural state. In order
to prevent these havens from looking like commer-
_ _ cial marinas, they provide only a minimumof floats,
which permit waterborne visitors access to upland
areas by way of dfnghys.
But unfortunately a problem arose. Park officials
found that, without constant supervision, it was
difficult to prevent larger boats from laying along.
side the standard floats then in use, and thus limit.
Ing space available to one or two boats. Such
-- space -hogging by large boats obviously denied use
of the float to manyvisitors.
-- Alvin Fairhurst, Engineer with the Planning Divi-
sion of B. C.'s Department of Recreation and Con-
" servation (Parks Branch) came up with a 12 -sided
float which solved the problem. Because each of
the 12 laces is only 5 feet long, it is virtually Impos-
. sible for a large boat to tie broadside to the float. A
dinghy, however, can easily unload against any of
the 12 laces and then, once unloaded, it is tied to
the float. bow end to.
Although only 18 feet across at Its widest, the 12.
sided float can handle many more visitors than a
conventional square or rectangular float, chiefly
because its short sides prevent space -hogging, In
non -tidal water, the novel float can accommodate
even the larger boats, provided they moor Mediter-
ranean style—anchor oil the stern, bow line tied to
the float. Their passengers, of course, must go
ashore via dinghy.
The 12 -sided floats offer another convenience to
visitors, loo—some serve as floating litter and gar-
bage collection points for boaters. Visitors merely
come alongside the float and transfer refuse from
Appendix 3
their boats to receptacles on the float. A Parks
Branch boat periodically comes by to empty the
receptacles. Because on -shore disposal places are
sometimes necessarily at a distance from the floats
and other landing sites, provision of this water-
borne litter service contributes positively to cleaner
grounds and water.
The float Itself Is relatively simple In concept and
construction. It consists essentially of a 2 x 8 -Inch
framing and floor foist system to which are secured
on the underside 5 rows of 9 x 18 -Inch styrofoam
logs for flotation. The framing is decked by 1 x 8's,
laid at a 45 degree angle to the foists. A 2 x 4 tie rail
runs completely around the float for securing bow
lines. A hinged gangway or ramp leads from the
float to shore. The float itself may be anchored by
lines to shore, or, In exposed locations, may be
,secured to piles.

Dear Peg:
The purpose of this letter is to officially inform you that the
Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department endorses the p
Terrill Mill Park project. roposed
We will be pleased to cooperatively plan and implement this
project, consisting of the construction of a handicapped pathway to
the river, and a fishing pier to serve both the handicapped and the
general public.

Report of the Ad Hoc Committee on Handicapped Access to the River
Oct. 17, 1987
Chair: Douglas Jones
Members: James Daley
William O'Brian
The committee met at the float in Corelville's Edgewater Park on
Oct. 10. This float appears to have been built following the
same plan as the float proposed for Terrell Mill Park. We conclude
that such a float can be made handicapped accessible, but that
there are problems. In light of these, we have developed an
alternate approach to handicapped access to the riverbank.
I) Required modifications to the 12 -Sided Dinghy Float (see
Appendix 3 of the Mayor's Youth Employment Program CBDG
proposal for plans of the original).
a) The ramp must be widened to 4' from the original 2111".
b) The railing may need strengthening. The railings used
on the Coralville float (or. the ramp) are not built
to the original plan; the design used in the plan may
be sufficiently strong.
c) Railings will have to be added to the float itself.
d) Extra floatation may be needed under the foot of the
ramp. The float at Coralville has the ramp ending
farther from the center of the float than in the plan,
and one of the barrels used for floatation appears to
be rusted; even with both of these defects corrected,
the float may not ride level in the water with the
weight of the ramp off center unless extra floatation
is added. —
e) The original plan does not appear to have been designed
to resist river currents; although the Corelville float _
was built to even lighter standards, itches suffered
significant damage from river currents. The ramp has
shifted more than 6' from its original shoreward attach— _
ment, and the float and of the ramp is badly chewed up
by the constant downriver force of the current.
f) Some of the joints in the original plan are shown attached
o, wits lag..screws. We do not trust lag screws in outdoor
woodwork that is subject to extreme weathering, as tney
may work loose: Should carriage bolts be preferred?
g) The river rises and falls considerably! The shore end of
the ramp must be attached above the high-water line
to avoid damage at high water. The ramp must be long
enough so tnot the slope is 1" in 12" at low water.
If tnis requires a ramo loner then 36' (that is, if
a the water level vsries by more than 31), the float will
not be legally handicap ad accessible at low water.
�,♦ C� +�` In tnis case, signs w!11 have to be posted warning or t.

the end must be at least 4, from the
edge of the float, possibly forcing the
end of the ramp significantly away from
the float center. The length of the
wedge must be subtracted from the maximum
allowed ramp length for handicapped access,
thus reducing the range of river levels
for which the ramp slope will be within
the required 1" in 12" slope.
II) Alternative the
to handicapped riverbank access:
If the float is not deemed an appropriate solution to the
Problem of handicapped access to the riverbank, we propose
atidifferent dlevelstuconnectedre tb ng of a series of landings
is that, et any time , one of thelandingswonld�beTclose ato
the water and appropriate for viewing the river, fishing,
feeding the ducks, or whatever. The lowest landing would be
about 6 to 12additionaldlandings would 11 bebove constructed atthet12 tort and
"in
rvals
(in elevation) so that, as the river floods lower landings
higher lendings would be at the water's edge.
For handicapped access, the paths connecting lendings must
have slopes not exceeding 11, in 12 and must be at least 31
wide, with railing. Because the ends of some of the paths
upYgradeat t2mto, be under water, each ramp must begin with an
water by wheelchairnusersto Prevent accidental trips into the
Railroad tie and asphalt construction would be quite approprlate,
with ties firmly anchored to prevent them floating away at high-
water, The entire system of landings and paths could as be
integrated with terraced rip -rap erosion control, with landing:]
5,•••�on each terrace, and paths down the rip -rap. �

Unlike the float proposed in the appendix to the current CBDG
proposal, all construction work on this alternative would
have to be done in place, at tae riverbank. This may pose
risks to unskilled workers with unknown swimming ability,
such as those employed by the Mayor's Youth Employment Program,
but the simple expedient of installing a temporary safety —
fence at the shoreline or a few feet out in the water should
lsrcely eliminate these risks.

is fortunate in having a thriving community of public access television
producers, who produce television programs for local cable channel 26. Each
week, the cable TV studio receives requests from community agencies or groups
to have events videotaped, of to have informational tapes made for broadcast.
With the current structure of volunteer unpaid producers, most of these
requests cannot be filled. This project will create a financial incentive for
producers to work on these community oriented projects.
It should further be noted that public access television in Iowa City provides
unpaid apprenticeships for people interested in broadcasting. By making
equipment available to anyone willing to queue up for it, the Community
Programming Center provides opportunities for people willing to work on
acquiring new skills. This project will provide a small wage to three people
while they change careers, or start careers.

16. General description of activities:
Tl.e Cocmunit,. video Grants Project is divided into two parts:
COMMUNITY VIDEO GRANTS-- The purpose here is to pay producers for
making videos about local social service agencies, or about local
political issues and concerns, or about health or informational
matters of importance to Iowa City residents. The sum of $5,000.00
would be divided into grants for 10 such projects, with a payment of
$500.00 for each project. The payment of each grant would be
administered by the Broadband Telecommunications Commission, or a
subcommittee of the Broadband Telecommunications Commission.
Each producer must
--meet low/moderate income standards.
--have taken the Guidelines class and at least one other workshop given
by Heritage Cablevision.
--submit a sample tape of video work.
--submit a written treatment of the proposed video.
--if approved, sign a contract with the Broadband Telecommunications
Commission, and set a completion date. If more than one producer is
involved in the project, the contract shall stipulate how the
payment is to be divided.
--complete the project by the completion date.
--submit the finished tape both for broadcast and to the committee,
and receive payment.
The Broadband Telecommunications Commission responsibilities
include:
--receiving requests from agencies for video work.
--making those requests known to producers in search of projects.
--reviewing and approving project treatments.
--reviewing finished tapes before broadcast.
The finished projects must air on Channel 26. After broadcast, they
may be used by the community agency involved, according to any
agreement made with the tape's producer. Producers hold all rights to
their work, and assume any attendant legal liability. Eligible
projects are not commercial in nature and do not benefit for-profit
businesses. Projects which are strictly creative and/or entertainment
oriented do not meet the stipulations for the Community Video Grants
Project. The intent is to promote information for and awareness of
the Iowa City community, and thus add to the quality of life through
the medium of public access television.
VIDEO EXCELLENCE AWARDS: An additional $5,000.00 is requested for
this portion of the Community Video Grants Project. Each year,
Heritage Cablevision and a committee of community viewers recognize
excellence in public access programming. In 1988, this recognition
will be accompanied by financial awards for those producers willing
to submit income statements along with their program entry forms.
In addition, for the first time special recognition will be given to
the single new producer whose accumulated work in the preceding year
shows marked excellence. This is for newcomers, not established
producers. These financial awards will be administered by the
Broadband Telecommunications Commission or a subcommittee of the
Broadband Telecommunications Commission. The intent here is to
recognize that creative and artistic programming contributes a great
deal to a community's sense of cohesiveness and identity.

d
17. Will Project Be Continued After Community Development Block Grant Funding?
I£ Yes, what source(s) of funding do you propose to use? YES NO
If this year's project is successful in producing the types of community oriented
video we anticipate, we will seek other funding, possibly from the Iowa Arts
Council (for the Excellence Awards) or from other community organizations such
as Kiwanis. This CDBG may be the first of many such grants. The emphasis this
year will be on organizing and implementing the Project and gauging its effectiveness.

a proposal for the improvement and rehab -
Street in Iowa City submitted 21 September,
Safety and Betterment Project.
North Linn Street is feeling its age. The area is becoming run-down and
unsightly and the lack of sufficient lighting is leaving the door wide open for
_ crime.• In the last quarter of 1986, the Iowa City Police Department was required to
add extra patrols of that block on two separate occasions. During that same period,
they were called to investigate burglaries, vagrancies, and suspicious persons.
During the first quarter of 1987 -the police were called to investigate, among other
things, a forcible rape at gunpoint.
Aside from the crime situation, to which insufficient lighting is no doubt a
prime contributor, there are also
the queof stions of appearance
and protection areas from
accidental injury and the possibility
the curbs and sidewalks (parkings) are barren, unsightly, and strewn with trash and
weeds. In many places the sidewalk is more than three inches higher than the ground

Mr. Atkins,
This letter is in reference to our conversation of September 14, 1987, _
during which we discussed the surplus paving bricks which have
been stored last at the
Street Department's facility on Riverside Drive for approximately
years.
As I had mentioned to you, I am currently involved with the North Linn Street
Safety and Betterment Project and I solicited your aid in this project. Your aid
would take the form of the donation, by the city, of some of the surplus paving —
brick. You requested that I submit my request in writing to you in letter form,
it is hereby thus submitted. The number of bricks required for the project will be
12,500 bricks to cover the 2,405 square feet involved. _
A favorable response to this request would be greatly appreciated.
