Staff,Members Present:
Others Present:
Helling, Schmadeke, Vitosh,
O'Malley, Boren, Brinton
Loren Leach, Metcalf & Eddy
Bob Severance, Metcalf & Eddy
Metcalf & Eddy furnished two construction schedules for
Committee review, one referred to as the short schedule and
the other referred to as the extended schedule. The
Committee agreed the extended schedule was more realistic.
'The Committee raised concerns regarding the expected cash
flow for the new treatment plant being at the rate of a
million dollars per month during the winter months. The
lift station and wastewater treatment plant storm facility
are two portions of the project which have major
expenditures and a major portion of construction during the
winter months. Metcalf & Eddy stated the preparation and
completion of plans would not'be done until late in the
construction season next spring and construction would
proceed into the winter season. The Committee stated it
would like to accelerate either the Sand Road facility or
the upgrading of the existing treatment facility thereby
enabling more of the work to be completed during next year's
summer construction season. Metcalf & Eddy indicated they
would adjust the schedule according to staff directive and
also pointed out the critical elements in the schedule.
Once construction is begun, Metcalf & Eddy will be provided
with the contractor's schedule thereby enabling the City to
determine a more accurate cash flow. Metcalf & Eddy will
provide the Committee with monthly reports which will
include cuirent projection of cash flow for Finance.
Metcalf & Eddy also furnished two proposals regarding
information on the subcontractor packages. The Committee
will discuss this information at the next meeting,
fs`7
The Committee asked Metcalf & Eddy to provide input
regarding the public relations program. Leach indicated the
public needed to get accurate information regarding the
meaning of the five year storm design to dispel
misconceptions. Metcalf & Eddy will be asked to review
informational materials to be sent out as part of the public
relations program.
i At the next meeting scheduled for 1:30 p.m., September 3,
1986, the information provided by Metcalf & Eddy regarding
subcontractors and the public relations program will be

with a centralized decision making forum to which they
report to. Any decision of any consequence should be
A presented to this Committee. The City Manager stated he
wanted to be involved.with regard to problems, if 'any, with
financial aspects. The Committee is to keep the City
Council informed via minutes and/or memos.
Y.
�s Brinton stated the responsibility as to technical issues was
discussed at the last meeting. It was decided that Boren,
Brinton and Schmadeke would be responsible regarding
technical matters. The City Manager agreed and stated that
once a decision regarding a technical matter was made by
them it is to be brought to the Committee. Peripheral,
administrative or financial aspects also have to be given
consideration with regard to technical matters. The
Committee is to provide a general consensus forming
function.
Schmadeke inquired as to the University of Iowa's rate
structure. Vitosh stated the Finance Department would
oversee the rate structure initially.
Helling stated the Committee would keep minutes, approve
same and submit them to the City Council.
The City Manager stated the Committee should prepare a
schedule of decisions that would need to be made after
development of a master project schedule. The Project
Manager will consult this committee for advice and how the
R
City should proceed with the project.
The City Manager stated the Committee will be responsible
for the preparation of public information. The community is
to be kept informed on a regular basis about the progress of
the construction project and how the project might affect
/S;6
various neighborhoods. The recommendations and concerns as
outlined in a letter from Attorney Joe Holland were
discussed.
Discussion centered on the need for a schedule for the
i-
completion of the various phases of the project and the
projected expenditures. The Project Manager is to be
notified that a realistic schedule is to be prepared.
.,:
Boren stated Pollution Control's Assistant Superintendent
Wordelman has indicated he will be retiring in the near I

Schmadeke gave an extensive explanation of the details of
"
the project. ;.

City's resources are and how it affects the project.
Discussion.of the community relations program was deferred
to the next meeting.
The proposal for some type of cross -connection between the {
storm sewer and sanitary sewer in the Rundell/Dearborn
Street area was discussed. The Iowa Department of Natural
Resources has indicated it would be an acceptable
_
alternative. Helling stated the Committee needed to
consider the benefit of this alternative and also consider
a possible detection device. This decision is to be given
top priority.

From: Assistant City Manager
Re: 28E Agreement for Joint
Operation and Use of Swimming Fac lity
Since the voters approved the Bond referendum for a new indoor/outdoor swimming
R001 facility in June 1986, City staff has been involved in discussions with
representatives from the Iowa City Community School District to finalize the
28E Agreement necessary for the joint construction and operation of that facil-
ity. Most of the terms of that agreement have been worked out to the satisfac-
tion of both parties. There is a necessity, however, that staff now obtain
further guidance from Council.
The report to the Joint Planning Committee prepared by Neumann -Monson Archi-
tects in March 1986, included information on projected operating costs of the
new facility (Attachment A) and estimated percent of use by the School District
(Attachment B). This information was based on figures provided by the City and
the School District to the architect and to the Joint Planning Committee.
Operation and maintenance cost estimates as presented in Attachment A, as well
as figures representing the projected use of the facility by the City, have not
changed.
cost-sharing aspects of the 28E agreement.
Recent discussions with the School District representatives have included the
District representatives have
identified operation and maintenance expenses which they deem appropriate for
cross -sharing of which their share, at 30% annually, would be $32,716 or
$11,536 less than the annual cost-sharing estimate which Council received as
part of the Neumann -Monson report: In addition, the School District has re-
quested that the annual minimum percentage contribution to operation and main-
tenance of the facility be 30% initially but with a provision that this amount
could be reduced, at a maximum rate of 3% a year, to a minimum 20% contribution
if actual use by the School District were to be substantially below estimate.
This would reduce their share to $21,810 in 1986 dollars.

Based on the above tentative schedule the school district would use the pool
37% of the time during the school year for regularly scheduled swimming
programs. In addition, special assigned times would be needed to handle
special events (i.e. swim meets, special populations, etc.). Combining the
regular schedule and special events I would estimate that the school district
would use the pool approximately 40% of the time from September 1 to June 1.

MEMORANDUM
Date: September 12, 1986
To: City Council"and City Manager
From:M Marianne Milkman, CDBG Program Coordinator
Re: Policy - Funding Operational Expenses of Human Service Agencies with
CDBG Funds
The Committee on Community Needs (CCN) will be holding public hearings on
applications for 1987 CDBG funds on September 14 and September 29, 1986. Al-
though Congress has not yet appropriated any funds for the FY87 CDBG program,
HUD staff has indicated that funds are likely to be reduced by 10% from the
1986 allocation. I therefore anticipate approximately $557,000 in new
entitlement monies. In addition to these monies $15,000 in program income,
$106,000 of unallocated 1986 funds and approximately $40,000 of carryover funds
will be available for allocation in 1987, a total of approximately $718,000. Of
the 1987 entitlement funds 15% or $83,550 may be spent on Public Services.
Such services are defined as ones concerned with crime prevention, employment,
child care, health, drug abuse, or similar needs in the community. Funding for
Public Services may be used both for facilities and for operational expenses.
i In the past it has been Council policy not to use CDBG monies for operational
activities of any agency. Council made an exception to this policy in 1984 for
a three year Shared Housing Program, and most recently another exception was
made to fund the Human Services Coordinator position under the amended 1986
CDBG budget approved 7/15/86.
During the discussion of the FY87 "Aid to Agencies" budget, some Council mem-
bers noted that funding for these agencies might have to come from other
sources if General Revenue Sharing monies dried up. This is now a reality.
As noted above, approximately $83,000 in CDBG monies could be used to fund
Human Service Agencies, provided the agency is located in Iowa City, serves
predominantly Iowa City residents, cannot obtain adequate funding from other
State and Federal sources, serves mainly low and moderate income persons and
meets all other requirements of the CDBG program.
Unfortunately the CDBG program year is six months out of phase with the City's
fiscal year budget cycle. Therefore, CCN and the CDBG staff would like to have
some direction from Council at this time on any policy change for funding of
operational expenses for Human Service Agencies. In the past CCN has, in
general, automatically excluded such requests from consideration for funding,
since they were contrary to Council's policy.
We would appreciate a discussion at Monday's informal Council meeting on this
matter. Staff will be available at this meeting to discuss possible options
and provide additional information.

Dear Ms. Therme:
Thank you for your recent letter concerning the problems of speed

The City Council has recently asked the State Department of Transpor-
tation to undertake traffic analysis work along Highway 6, specific-
ally to consider reduction in the speed limit. Hopefully, the State
studies will support a reduction in the speed limit and thereby we
may possibly experience fewer of the "hurry like hell' folks you
mentioned to me in your letter.
Thank you again for your interest and I have taken the liberty of

Mayor William Ambrisco.:
I read with interest the article an the front page of the August 27th Press
Citizen entitled "Highway 6."
I have been concerned for some time about cars, not just trucks, running red
lights at the intersections on highway 6 - especially the Sycamore intersection.
I drive through that intersection every day. I never proceed on a green light
until I have looked to see all cars stopped and have warned my children many
times to do the same. People routinely run the light when it is yellow, even
turning red. Maybe people need to be re-educated as to what a yellow light
means, which is, "slow down and prepare to stop" not "hurry like hell to get
through it."

Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mayor Ambrisco and City Councilmembers:
Every year over 6000 people die in fires, usually in their own homes. There
is something available now that could greatly reduce that tragic loss -
RESIDEIITIAL SPRIKLERS.
Up to now sprinklers have generally been used in commercial property. With
"state-of-the-art" design they have quick reacting heads and attractive
appearance to fit most decor. They can be mounted with plastic pipe on
either the wall or ceiling, and using the domestic water supply, are avail-
able for the private home now.
Sprinklers have the advantage of not only reliability, but they put the water
where the fire starts, instantly. The insurance industry not only recognizes
the importance of the sprinkler system as a way to reduce property loss and
claim payments, but it also has a proven history of saving lives.
On Friday, October 3, 1986, the Iowa City Fire Department is going 'to be
demonstrating a Home Sprinkler System to kick off the start of Fire Preven-
tion Week. We cordially invite you to participate in the activities to be
held at the Civic Center parking lot. The sprinkler demonstration will
involve a camper trailer specifically renovated to include a sprinkler resem-
bling that in a new home.
Your participation would involve being in an actual sprinkler activation. A
small fire will be set in the trailer and extinguished by the sprinkler
system.
THE TRAILER HAS BEEN TESTED AND USED SEVERAL TIMES, AND IS A SAFE DEMONSTRA-
TION ENVIRONMENT. SAFEGUARDS AND BACKUPS ARE INSTALLED TO ASSURE THAT NO
HARM WILL BE INCURRED BY ANY PARTICIPANTS.
We would appreciate your involvement in the demonstration. It is exciting
and rewarding to experience the extinguishment of a fire while it is small,
before it becomes a threat to life. Your participation will help demonstrate
this valuable life-saving,concept.
We will be contacting you in the near future to discuss the details of our
life safety demonstration. Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Mayor Ambrisco:

Iowa City. Iowa 52240
)319) 338.3885
Pursuant to our phone conversation of this morning, I have attempted to put
together information for you that helps explain the district's position
related to ongoing discussions regarding a 28E Agreement to build a jointly
used swimming facility. Apparently, this item was discussed at the City
Council's informal session last night and there is a need to clarify some
information.
As you know, there has been a need for additional swimming facilities in Iowa
City for some time. Past efforts to fulfill this need have been
unsuccessful. Approximately two years ago there was renewed interest in
building additional swimming facilities and this interest culminated with
a committee that tried to put together a project involving the cities of Iowa
City and Coralville, the school district and the University of Iowa. Even
though that effort failed
ed
led
discussion between school,
interest
officiato
ls.
The discussion between the city and school district produced a Memorandum of
Understanding which was approved by resolution by the City Council on
October 8, 1985. This resolution, 85-300, outlines the willingness of the
two parties to agree to agree in the future and establishes as a key element
the organization of a joint planning committee. This joint planning
committee was given the responsibility to, among other things, work with an
architect and develop preliminary design plans, initial cost estimates, a
by the Cityic eCouncilick andathetBoarddofrEducation. Thisare a dation initialoMemorandumaofon
Understanding also outlined that the city and the school district would enter
into further agreements regarding the construction, operation, maintenance,
and management of the joint facility.

Following receipt of the recommendation from the joint planning committee,
the'City Council and the Board of Education entered into a second Memorandum
of Understanding. This Memorandum of Understanding (Resolution 86-130) was
approved by the city and district and outlined an agreement on several issues
that would be necessary for the complete development of the joint facility
and stated an intent to enter into a 28E Agreement that would outline
specific terms and conditions. A particularly relevant section of the second
memorandum dealt with operating expenses:
"The parties agree that the operating and maintenance expenses
for the swimming pool will be prorated de endin upon the
actual use of the facility. a erms an provisions related
to a ocation of operating expenses will be included in the
2(. Lease -Management Agreement. The school district will agree in
tS in the Lease -Management Agreement to a s ecified minimum level
of usage and to a specified minimum percen age con ri ution o
operaf ng and maintenance expenses, emphasis added)
This Memorandum of Understanding was signed by the city on May 6, 1986.
al
Following approval of the second Memorandum of Understanding, attention then
turned to the campaign for the referendum placed before voters on June 3.
As I review the brochure that was prepared for the campaign, a couple of
statements 'in that brochure seem to be related to the issues that have
surthefcost ofOne of those is ratconstruction. Io the question/answer to the school d format oistrict fathecn
brochure,
question f3 states "the school district will provide $500,000" toward the
cost of construction. In an item related to cost to operate and maintain the
new pool, question 86 in this brochure says "the city and school district
will share these costs on a proportional use basis". These statements are'
accurate reflections of the understandings reached during all discussion from
the earliest date.
The next step toward completion of this project called for staff and legal
council'from the respective governmental entities to work on the details of
the 28E Agreement. It is my understanding that these discussions have
proceeded to a point where most all of the issues that have been identified
have been resolved. In some of the earliest discussion there was
consideraagreementttonhave ethe odistrictncontribute g the nmore than t of the e$5001000arlier memorandum
toward the
construction costs, by sharing in cost overruns. That issue has been
resolved. Other issues that have been discussed and resolved include: The
district has agreed to share in 30% of the maintenance and operation budget
for the first year based on a proposed 92 -hour per week, 51 -week per year
schedule even though the district's proportional use might be less than 30X.
Further, in calculating the actual usage for determining the rate for the
second and subsequent years, we have proposed that there not be any greater
change than a 3% change in any one year and have also agreed to a minimum
floor of 20%. This proposal seems to be consistent with what had been agreed
to in Memorandum of Understanding #2.

Other maintenance and operations budget line items for which agreement has
been reached are identified in the following chart:
Resolved Issues Estimated Cost
Supervisor/Facility Manager (.45 FTE) $13,837
Maintenance Worker 20,436
Maintenance Worker 8,235
Operating Supplies: Pool Chemicals & Supplies 2,783
Property Insurance (Fire & Casualty) 3,255
Utilities:
Gas and Electric 57,015
Water and Sewer 3,491
Building Repair and Maintenance 2,730
bi
The total of items listed, by our calculation, is $111,782. Based on the
first year rate of 30%, the estimated cost to the school district would be
$33,535. (I realize, of course, that these figures are based upon preliminary
cost estimates and the actual cost would be determined once the city has
prepared it's finalized budget for the first fiscal year of operation.)
While we have agreed on many of the key provisions of the maintenance and
operations budget, it is my understanding that a problem may exist with the
additional items:
Unresolved Issues Estimated Cost
Cashiers, etc. $19,762
Office Supplies 1,365
Telephone 997
Liability Insurance 13,421
The total estimated cost of these unresolved items is $35,645. Using the
same calculation of 30% as we did in the resolved issues, that is a
difference of $10,694.
Obviously, we have reasons for believing that the unresolved issues should
not be included in the calculations of the district's share of the operations
and maintenance based upon a proportional use basis. For example, we will
want a telephone in the office to be used by district personnel, but would
want that to be tied into the telephone system at South East Junior High.
Another cost that we feel should not be part of the shared expenses is the
liability insurance item. This issue was raised several months ago in a
letter dated April 18, in which the City Attorney recognized the problem that
we had raised which is essentially that we already have our own liability
insurance policy. Further, we cannot transfer liability to the city for the
programs that we operate and need to include an indemnity clause to that
effect in the 28E Agreement. In the instance of cashiers, they will not be
part of our programming and we expect any office supplies we would use to
come from South East.

From my perspective, it appears that a disagreement has surfaced representing
less than 5% of the total estimated operating budget for this facility.
Further, there apparently has been questions raised regarding the district

that causes the School District the most concern. I agree that we do
not want to lock the parties into an agreement where they have to share
costs on a single insurance policy covering the entire facility. It
may, in fact, be cheaper for the parties to ensure their respective
ir
and
interests andno rational way to share costs of insurance
liabilities under the suchcoverage. Howeverthere may,
I nonetheless believe that the ,lease management agreement, like any
business lease, must address liability and insurance issues. Each party

However, the lease management agreement will have to address liability
for injuries which allegedly occur due to negligence in the operation or
maintenance of the facility. If each entity is going to goit alone

with its' own insurance, then 1 think each ought to bear responsibility resuls from
for injury to its users, regardless whether that injury

of the Memorandum of Agreement read as follows:

the continued,•harmonious use of the property."
I would appreciate it if you would review this with Mr. Palmer and
indicate to us some time next week whether or not this approach would be
acceptable. This matter will not be scheduled for action by the City
Council on the April 22 agenda, as was originally scheduled, but will be
put off until the May 6 meeting.

tion; (2) recreation; and (3) competl•
tion. The design allows school use
and public use at the same time.

completed between June 1 and

pleted prior to June 1, 1987.
6. WHO WILL PAY THE COSTS
