Moen said there is also a provision allowing for the extension of Tanglewood Street in the northeast corner of the tract. Moen explained the City staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission feel development to the east of the tract has not yet been determined and provisions to allow for the extension of Tanglewood provide flexibility.

Moen stated the Fringe Area 6 policy encourages agricultural use for this particular area but that staff feels the request is not unreasonable and would not contradict the intentions of the Area 6 policy because the area is isolated from the adjacent agriculturally zoned land and is adjacent to a sizeable Highway Commercial -zoned property. Moen said staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission reconmend approval of the rezoning request.

Trueblood stated maintenance of the park would not increase the Parks and Recreation Department's budget but there may be costs associated with future replace- ment of equipment. Rockwell said Handicare proposes to establish the play- ground on public property because of the expense and size limitations to establish the playground adjacent to St. Patrick's Church. In response to McDonald, Rockwell stated the proposed playground would be located on Harrison Street vacated right-of-way imnediately west of Linn Street, on the west side of the street. Item /11 - ion of an aooli Moen said this resolution would authorize the Mayor to sign a letter to the Iowa Office of Historic Preservation requesting Certified Local Government (CLG) status for the City of Iowa City.

Informal Council Meeting December 15, 1986 Page 3 Plaza Minipark Design Reel 86-C82, Side 2 Bill Nowysz presented information regarding renovation of the Paul -Helen Build- ing and the design of the Plaza Minipark. Nowysz explained the Plaza Minipark design takes into consideration criteria established by the renovation of the Paul -Helen Building, City staff and committees involved in determining the use of the park. The design of the park provides for a large gathering area, an intimate seating area, and continuation of the existing mall. Nowysz referred Councilmembers to design drawings of the Paul -Helen Building and Plaza Mini - park. Nowysz stated tuckpointing, cleaning and resalvaging of the brick is being done on the Paul -Helen Building facade, the entrance to the Paul -Helen Building will remain as previously proposed, and an archway salvaged from the University of Iowa old Armory will be used at the entryway into the building. Nowysz presented details regarding the design of the minipark. Nowysz explained criteria used in the design of the minipark were the east of mainte- nance, watering and maintenance of planters, and matching the existing mall. Nowysz stated the area should be considered a•gateway into downtown Iowa City and the kiosk in the existing mall presents a blockage to that gateway. In response to Zuber, Nowysz said estimated costs for the minipark is $143,900 and it would cost an additional ;17,000 to move the kiosk. In response to Baker, Nowysz said the north end of the minipark is open to allow people to cut through the minipark. McDonald inquired about the construction timetable. Nowysz said the minipark could be set up for spring construction and would take three to four months to complete. Rockwell said the project could be bid out in February and that Project GREEN received information regarding the design of the park. Paul -Helen Building Facade Reel 86-C82, Side 2 Nowysz presented the design and information regarding the renovation of the Paul -Helen Building. In response to questions from Councilmembers, Nowysz said upper floors of the Paul -Helen Building will be accessible from the north entrance, there is a new stairway and elevator in the building, and the brick on the west facade of the building may need to be stained to match the new brick. A Project GREEN representative asked Nowysz to research the installa- tion of a working underground watering system. The Project GREEN representa- tive also raised concerns about the lack of available funding for maintenance and plant replacement in the entire downtown Plaza area. Courtney noted he has been in contact with the management of the Dain -Bosworth building regarding work on that building. Handicapped Children's Park Reel 86-C82, Side 2 Gary Kiebl, Board of Directors of Handicare Inc., explained Handicare is a nonprofit daycare for preschool children and asked Council to consider the proposal to develop a public park. Kiebl said he has met with the Planning and Zoning Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, and City Engineering staff. Kiebl requested approval from City Council to proceed with the design of the park. In response to Ambrisco, Kiebl said Handicare has a ten year lease with St. Patrick's Church and has fust completed the fied the rst; year of that lease.

Parks and Recreation Foundation Reel 86-C84, Side 1 Craig Willis stated Council received copies of the articles of incorporation and bylaws for the proposed Iowa City Parks and Recreation Foundation. Willis stated the Foundation will allow citizens to contribute and a gift catalog will be developed and coordinated by staff that will identify priority items needed by the Parks and Recreation program. The Foundation will serve to channel the charitable impulses of Iowa Citians. Willis said the Foundation may be eligi- ble for grants. Willis noted that Mary Weideman and Daryl Henry should be recognized for their efforts to establish the Foundation. In response to Zuber, Willis explained the Parks and Recreation Foundation will be similar to the Library Foundation in structure but will be different in its marketing approabylaws should ch. kbe Recreationer stated the Parks and rev ewwed by the City'sLegalincorporation Department. Bakernq inquired about the Articles of Incorporation, Article 6.2. regarding Board of Director member- ship, and the legal responsibility of the Foundation and Iowa City in lawsuits. Baker asked what is the Foundation's Board of Directors power to enter into lawsuits or acquire property without the review of the City Council. Willis stated that Article 6.2, was deliberately non-specific. Timmins stated the City's umbrella of liability coverage would not extend to an independent foun- dation; and the foundation would have to ensure itself. Willis said work to establish the Parks and Recreation Foundation began in 1984 and this discussion serves to inform Council about the proposed Foundation. Timmins stated there should be an accountancy of the Foundation and the City may be able to provide some accounting service. Swimming Pool Status Update Reel 86-C84, Side 1 Zuber complained that Council did not receive the proposed 28E Agreement from the Iowa City School Board. Melling stated staff just received a copy of the proposed 28E agreement from the Iowa City School Board and it is being reviewed by City staff. A copy of that agreement and staff comments will be forwarded to Councilmembers. Ambrisco said the 28E Agreement should be analyzed in detail. Courtney stated the last joint pool committee meeting included discus- sions with the School Board and he had asked the Board to address issues re- lated to cost sharing percentages, liability insurance, and supervisors. Courtney said the School Board elected to formally vote on and present the City with the complete 28E Agreement. Courtney recommended: 1) to draw up a simi- lar agreement, vote on it and send it to the School Board, or 2) make recommen- dations to staff and begin negotiating on a smaller facility, or 3) develop a pool facility without the school district. Council agreed with Ambrisco's recommendation to have the City Attorney and Assistant City Manager review the School Board's proposed 28E Agreement and present information to the Council. Council requested staff to schedule a Council meeting for December 23 to dis- cuss that information. -I Informal Council Meeting December 15, 1986 Page 5 FY86 Financial Report Reel 86-C84, Side 1 Vitosh stated that Council received the City of Iowa City, Iowa, comprehensive annual financial report for FY86 (ended June 30, 1986) and her December 11 memo regarding comprehensive annual financial report. Vitosh noted City staff spent 3,000 hours and McGladrey Hendrickson & Pullen staff spent 1,000 hours to prepare the financial report. Vitosh said Council was provided with management recommendation from McGladrey's. Dave Johansen, McGladrey Hendrickson & Pullen, reviewed the comprehensive annual financial report and emphasized that Councilmembers should closely read Vitosh's introduction, pages 24 and 25 - Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance, page 29 - Footnote 1, page 71 - En�ter�nse Fund, and page 85 - Statistics. Ambrisco asked if Johansen discovere a— n_y glaring oversights iniC-expenditures. Johansen stated he could not comment regarding the types of expenditures made by Iowa City and that it is only his goal to ensure the City is in compliance regarding State and Federal accounting regulations. Council Time/Agenda Reel 86-C84, Side 1 Strait noted the Iowa City Public Library has been awarded a challenge grant of $125,000 by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Zuber recognized that Iowa City Firefighters assisted Coralville in fight- ing the Abbey Inn fire and credited Chief Donner with establishing the Johnson County Association of Mutual Aid. Fire Chief Donner stated all the fire departments that are members of the Johnson County Association Mutual Aid assisted with that fire. In response to Baker, Donner stated a build- ing like the Abbey Inn could be built without a sprinkler system within Iowa City. Donner said Iowa City's Fire Code is based on the Federal Uniform Building Code and a City Code could be modified to be made more stringent. 3. Baker asked if correspondence received by or sent by an Iowa City Board or Commission is part of public record. Tinmins stated that anything received by a Board or Commission that is created by ordinance or resolution or that is created by State Statute is public record. Baker requested copies of the letter written to the Library Board from Mary Neuhauser and the Library Board's response to that letter. 4. Council agreed to Ambrisco's recommendation to change eligibility require- ments for Boards and Commissions to read "eligible voter" instead of "qualified voter". 5. In response to Atkins, Council reviewed the letter from Lynn R. Grfebahn regarding Santa Claus suit rental. Council declined to change the current Parks & Recreation department policy. 6. (Agenda Item /13 - Coffelt Place repairs/COBG funds) Atkins recommended approving the resolution but not releasing any CDBG funding for the pro- ject. Atkins noted Iowa City has been informed by HUD that Iowa City COBB allocation is in jeopardy and may be redistributed to needier cities. Informal Council Meeting December 15, 1986 Page 6 7. In response to Ambrisco, Atkins stated Iowa City received $150,000 from the Holiday Inn hotel this morning as full payment of the fee generated out of refinancing the bond issue. S.
