D. Public hearing on an applop
ication to rezone property located at 19
Evans Street from RNC -20 to CO -1. Beagle stated the Planning & Zoning
Commission voted - o eny a rezoning request submitted by Dr.
William Dull. Beagle said it was the Planning & Zoning Commission's
finding that the requested rezoning is inconsistent with the land use
designation of the 1983 Comprehensive Plan Update, would be contrary
to the residential character of the surrounding neighborhood, and
would permit commercial office uses whose impacts would conflict with
continued use and enjoyment of the existing residents surrounding the
site. Beagle stated the Planning & Zoning Commission also addressed a
request by Atty. Robt. Downer, representing Dr. Dull, to amend RNC -20
zone to permit restricted professional offices within the RNC -20 zone
as a provisional use. The Planning & Zoning Commission determined the
amendment would be contrary to the purpose and intent of the RNC -20
zone to preserve the character of existing residential neighborhoods.
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended to reject the ordinance
amendment by a vote of 1-4.
In response to Courtney, Beagle said the applicant has not applied for
a special exception. Courtney asked if the office was established
prior to the zoning change. Beagle explained Dr. Dull established an
office under a previous ordinance that permitted office uses in a
residential district, when RNC -20 zone went into effect the existing
offices legally established were allowed to continue, and Dr. Dull did
not obtain an occupancy permit and legally established the use prior
to the RNC -20 zone going into effect.
Reel 86-C68, Side 2
Helling referred Council to his September 11, 1986, memo regarding the 28E
Agreement. Helling stated unresolved issues center'around the cost shar-
ing items. Helling asked Council for direction regarding the proposal for
reduction in the contribution by the School District as outlined in his
memo. Councilmembers noted that the 30 percent contribution by the School
District was the minimum percentage of contribution previously discussed.
Timmins stated in the City's memorandum agreement entered into with the
School District does specify the parties will agree to a certain minimum
percentage contribution by the School District. Ambrisco stated 30 per-
cent was previously discussed and should not be renegotiated. Council
agreed that the 30 percent contribution by the School District should be
retained as the minimum percentage of contribution. Helling said that if
the School District remains inflexible, the City will have to look at
different course of action including reconvening the Joint Pool Commission
and scaling down the facility (continued later in meeting).
JCCOG TRANSIT STUDY AND TRANSIT FUNDING: Reel 86-C68, Side 2
Strait stated changes in the bus system may create problems for handi-
capped persons, people working second shift at hospitals, and people going

Atkins said he developed the transit report as instructed to do so by
Council and transit budget information will be needed to formulate the
City's overall budget. Atkins stated the transit expenditures were grow-
ing faster than revenues and that policy proposals as outlined will hope-
fully provide the transit system with some degree of financial
independence within five years. Atkins said his report contains best case
scenarios and figures would need to be re -worked if major changes in
expenditures or revenues occur. McDonald inquired about parking fund
transfers to the transit budget. Atkins explained the parking fund will
have an estimated annual balance of $300,000. Atkins recommended contrib-
uting $100,000 of that parking fund balance to transit's annual operating
budget, $100,000 to the transit capital/reserve account, and retaining
$100,000 in the parking fund balance as pure fund balance.
Public input was received from Marjorie Hayden Strait, Ann Rawland, Gary
Lundquist, Ernie Lehman, Dave Ricketts and Gary Sanders. Marjorie Hayden
Strait asked Council to keep citizens informed and to obtain information
from Prof. Ron Vogel. Ann Rawland urged Council to review figures and
assumptions used in the City Manager's report. Gary Lundquist said the
Downtown Association does not support utilizing parking funds to support
transit and that there is potential for future development creating the
need for additional parking spaces. Ernie Lehman said the City needs to
determine what level of bus service should be offered to the community.
Dave Ricketts, University of Iowa Director of Parking & Transportation,
reported that from 1982 to 1985 paid parking hours (meters and ramps)
increased 750,000 hours; parking permits increased 6,000 to 7,000; and
student enrollment increased 26,000 to 30,000. Ricketts noted that tran-
sit ridership decreased at the same time that demand for access to the
area increased. Ricketts said CAMBUS is funded partially out of parking
revenues. In response to Courtney, Ricketts said CAMBUS ridership has
decreased this year, mainly due to construction. In response to Zuber,
Ricketts stated CAMBUS receives $470,000 funding from student fees and
$120,000 from parking fund.
In response to McDonald, Vitosh stated the five cent increase in parking
rates generated $100,000 in FY86. Vitosh stated the City may not reach
the $430,500 projection from increased rates in FY87 because of decreased
usage of the parking system. McDonald asked if the City Manager's report
takes into consideration the money generated by the five cent parking rate
increase. Vitosh said the report does include the five cent rate
increase. In response to Courtney, Vitosh said the proposal takes into
consideration annual operating expenses, transfers required to the bond
reserve funds and debt service payments on outstanding parking revenue
bonds as expenditures. Included in the transfers to the bond reserve fund
is $60,000 a year that goes into the capital improvement reserve.
Courtney asked Vitosh about call provisions on the 1979 GO bonds and said
that if parking funds were not used for transit funding they could be used
to pay down debt. Vitosh explained the call provisions on the bonds.
Input was received from Peter Huyck, John Watson, and Dolores Katz. Huyck
stated a reduction in service to hourly service will result in decreased
ridership and asked Council to identify other cuts such as in administra-

tion or maintenance. John Watson said it would be premature to make cuts
now in bus service. Dolores Katz stated she depends upon the bus service
to return home from work.
Ambrisco stated that decisions regarding the City Mgr. recommendations
should not be delayed for one year. Zuber recommended that Council pro-
ceed with the City Manager's proposals as outlined. Strait asked staff to
reconsider scheduling changes and marketing and advertisement for the
transit system. Zuber noted that concentration of new housing in the
downtown area and University policies regarding student dormitory usage
have impacted bus ridership. Courtney asked when changes in bus service
would actually take effect if Council adopts the proposals. Atkins stated
a schedule would be developed, incorporated into the upcoming budget
process, and implemented July 1987. Lundell stated the inside advertising
program has been initiated. Atkins said staff is exploring all options to
increase ridership. Courtney stated he still needs to meet with Vitosh to
discuss the transfer of funds from the parking fund. Baker asked Council
to discuss the disparity between the Park and Shop program and Bus and
Shop program subsidies. Atkins said he would prepare information and
schedule discussion. In response to Baker, Atkins explained the projected
$300,000 in the parking fund is considered as profit/retained earnings.
Baker asked what are the future parking needs in Iowa City. Atkins said
there is an assumption that the City may consider building another parking
ramp in the next five to ten years.
Courtney asked Dave Ricketts if additional parking ramps will be built at
the University of Iowa. Ricketts explained the University of Iowa has
current plans to build a new ramp at the University Hospital and, in the
future, the University may consider developing additional parking south of
Burlington Street. Baker asked if staff will be reduced in the transit
system. Atkins said staff cuts will be discussed during labor bargaining
negotiations. Baker said it would be a mistake to cut Saturday evening
bus service and asked the City Manager for parking systems expenditures
and revenue figures for the past ten years.
Upon agreement by Council, Ambrisco directed Atkins to proceed with the
proposals as outlined in the report.
In response to public input, Atkins stated that once Council receives
information from the City Manager's office, that information is then
available to the public.
Dickson inquired about overlap of bus service. Atkins stated that a
deliberate decision was made to not eliminate service to any neighborhood
and efforts will be made to maintain consistency in flow to the system.

POLICY ON USE OF CDBG FUNDS: Reel 86-C70, Side 2
Milkman said Congress has not yet appropriated CDBG funds for FY87, it is
anticipated that Iowa City will be allocated approx. $557,000 in CDBG
funds, and Iowa City still has $106,000 of unallocated 1986 CDBG funds.
Milkman stated that 15 percent or $83,550 of the 1.987 entitlement may be
spent on public services. Milkman distributed the handout, Budget
Summaries 1986 CDBG Program Year. McDonald recommended Council earmark 15
percent of the 1987 CDBG entitlements to be used for human services fund-
ing and that Council determine the use of those funds during Council's
normal budgetary process. Council agreed with McDonald's recommendation.
Atkins recommended that Council send a letter of explanation to CCN.
Karen Kubby, Chairperson of CCN, and Committee member David Leshtz stated
CCN feels CDBG monies should be used for capital improvements.
COUNCIL TIME/AGENDA: Reel 86-71, Side 1
1. (Agenda Item No. 4d.) Baker stated he will contact staff to discuss
the public hearing on the application to rezone Dr. William Dull's
property located at 19 Evans Street from RNC -20 to CO -1.
2. Dickson noted the 9/12 memo from the Asst. City Mgr. and asked when
the City will advertise to hire a Pollution Control Assistant Superin-
tendent. Helling stated it has not been determined when Wordelman,
the present Assistant Superintendent, will be retiring. Staff will
follow up.
3. McDonald asked Council to approve for this year installation of street
lights at the intersection of First Avenue and Rochester. Council
agreed to move this project up in the CIP schedule.
4. In response to McDonald, Atkins stated citizens requesting a change in
street parking regulations for their neighborhoods should contact the
City Manager's office.
5. Dickson inquired about the installation of street lights at the Benton
Street and Sunset Street intersection. Atkins said he will obtain
information from Traffic Engr. Brachtel. Strait inquired about in-
stallation of street lights on Sunset Street and Highway 1. Melling
stated he will check on the scheduling of that project.
