Enclosed for your review before the meeting are: I . The Agenda. 2. The Proposed Budget. 3. A Salary Survey. 4. A copy of the March 5, 2007 minutes. 5. The 2007 Annual Report including the program division statement. There is an increase in the amount to be raised by the Assessment Expense Fund from last year's amount. The increase consists of: a. $17,105 fora 5% COLA/Merit increase in salaries. b. $ 1,360 for an increase in FICA. c. $ 1,680 for an increase in IPERS. d. $ 2,960 for an increase in health insurance. e. $ 600 for an increase in Board of Review salaries. £ $ 700 for an increase in auto expense. g. $ 4,800 for an increase in postage, an alternate year expense. h. $ 3,500 for an increase in printing, an alternate year expense. i. $ 300 for an increase in insurance. j. $ 7,000 for an increase in software maintenance. k. $ 1,500 for an increase to the auto replacement fund. 1. $ 500 for an increase in education (schools and conferences.) m. $ 400 for an increase in dues. n. $ 5,000 for oblique aerial photography. $47,405 Total Increase The Assessment Expense Fund levy rate will decrease from .25868 to .25114. The largest increase is for salaries, with a five percent cost of living/merit increase. The cost of living and recommended county compensation board increases for other local taxing bodies appear to be in the three to six percent range. And the enclosed salary survey indicates that our salaries fall below those of comparable assessment jurisdictions in Iowa. 913 SOUTH DUBUQUE STREET • IOWA CITY IOWA 52240 TELEPHONE 319-356-6066 Health insurance costs are expected to increase by about five percent for the upcoming year, while employee contributions will increase from twenty-five to thirty dollars per month for a family policy. Individual Board of Review salaries were increased from $2100 to 52200 for a total increase of $600. This increase is comparable the requested salary increases for the assessor's office personnel. Postage and printing were increased because 2009 will be a reassessment year and assessment rolls will be mailed to all property owners if assessments change. In addition, postage rates and the number of real estate parcels have increased. Insurance was increased because of a shortfall in this budget item last year. Employee life insurance rates are tied to salaries, and this budget item has not increased in several years. The software maintenance budget was increased for several reasons. The Johnson County Information Services Department plans to upgrade all of our computers to Office 2007 at a cost of about $3000. Also service contracts for our appraisal software have increased due to several upcoming enhancements. And we plan to purchase a Remote Edit Module that will allow our appraisers to review properties and make changes from a laptop computer in the field. The auto replacement fund was increased by $1500. This fund builds by $1500 per year and carries over until a new car is needed. Schools and conferences and dues were increased by small amounts to cover expected cost increases Oblique Aerial Photography is a new budget item. These aerial photos provide a view of each property from four different directions/angles. Currently Iowa City properties can be viewed on oblique aerials provided by Johnson County, but the level of detail varies from property to property. New photos will be flown in the fall of this year and for a relatively low price Iowa City can be included at the highest level of resolution. These photos can be used not only by our office but by other departments and they can be made available to the public on our web-site. Iowa City Public Works Director Rick Fosse has expressed interest in this project and has indicated that public safety departments would also find them useful. If you have any specific questions or wish to see any of the supporting documents for this budget, please feel free to phone me at the office at 356-6066 or at my home at 688-2661. Sincerely, ~~ Dennis Baldridge Iowa City Assessor January 30, 2008 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: The Iowa City Conference Board will meet at 6:30 P.M. on Monday February 4, 2008 at the Iowa City Civic Center.

VALUATIONS Since 2007 was a real estate revaluation year, there were increases in assessments to meet the statutory level as monitored by the Iowa Department of Revenue. Increases in assessments from revaluation were approximately 205 million dollars for residential property and 55 million dollars for commercial property. New construction also added approximately 61 million dollars to residential property and 11 million dollars to commercial property. The 729 residential deed sales for 2007 give us a median ratio (assessed value vs sale price) of 94.53% as compared to 88.7% for the entire year of 2006. Factoring in the seven-and-one-half percent average residential increase in assessments for 2007 shows that the selling prices of homes may have leveled off. If this trend continues during 2008, assessments will probably not be increased for 2009. Iowa City's overall level of assessment was once more confirmed by the Department of Revenue and Finance since Iowa City received no equalization orders to residential or commercial property for 2007. It should be kept in mind that when a jurisdiction is at the State mandated sales ratio level of 100%, a full one-half of home sales will be for less than the assessed value. Sales for less than the assessed value tend to result in appeals to the Board of Review. COURT CASES There were six appeals to District Court in 2007. All were for commercial property and two have been settled as part of the settlement of previous years' cases. There was also one property appealed to the new Property Assessment Appeal Board, which is a new state-level appeal. Both 2006 cases and the four remaining 2005 cases have been settled. BOARD OF REVIEW The Board of Review was in session from May 1 through May 31, the day of adjournment. 208 protests were filed with 125 being upheld and 83 denied. The total value of real estate being protested was $230,645,540. The Board also reduced 95 properties on their own volition or at the request of the assessor. The Board allowed a total reduction of $22,128,260. EQUITY VERSUS MARKET IN ASSESSMENT It is difficult to be both equitable among assessments and in tune with the market. Similar properties do not always sell for similar prices, so the market is not always equitable and some times a long way from it. Most assessors would lean toward equity if they could choose between the two. Our first priority is equity since it is not always possible to have every assessment match the selling price. Our statistics show that we are doing a good job in this regard. WEB PAGE The Iowa City Assessor's web page went online during the spring of 2001. Internet availability of comparable sales and comparable assessments has been very helpful to taxpayers concerned about the fairness of their assessments. Links are also provided, to the Johnson County Treasurer for tax information and to the Johnson County GIS for online maps. Appraisers and Realtors have been very complimentary about this service, commenting that it saves them considerable time and money since they can make copies of our property record cards without leaving their office. There have been over 800,000 hits on our web site since it went online. It can be viewed at www.iowacity.iowaassessors.com. We also have an Internet presence through the Johnson County website. Forms for the Homestead Exemption and the Military Credit are available to the public on this web page. ROLLBACKS The residential rollback has gone down from 45.5596% for the current taxes to 44.0803% for next year's taxes. The rollback for commercial property will change from the current 100% to 99.7312%. And for the first time in several years, Agricultural property will also receive a rollback of 90.1023% The League of Municipalities and the Iowa State Association of Counties have been trying for several years to get legislation passed to stop the decrease in the residential tax base. Iowa City's residential tax base has not actually decreased because of our increase in market value and new construction. Nevertheless, the shift of the tax burden should be of concern. The tables on page 12 illustrate this shift. Commercial property has remained close to the same percentage of the total value, but is becoming a larger percentage of the taxable value when looking back over the years. NEW LEGISLATION PROPERTY TAX STUDY COMMITTEE SF 601 Senate File 601 establishes a legislative property tax study committee to conduct a comprehensive review of property taxation in Iowa. The study committee is to meet during the 2007 and 2008 legislative interims and is to submit a final report to the general assembly on or before January 5, 2009. PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT HF 923 The board of supervisors now has the option of abating the taxes levied against property acquired by purchase after the deadline for filing a claim for tax exemption if the property would have been exempt under section 427.1, subsections 7,8,or 9 had a timely claim for exemption been filed. CONTINUING EDUCATION Continuing education is a requirement for the assessor and deputies for reappointment to their positions. Over asix-year term, assessors must complete one hundred-fifty hours of classroom instruction including at least ninety hours from courses requiring a test. Deputies must complete ninety hours of classroom instruction including at least sixty tested hours over their six-year terms. It is also good for other employees to attend classes so they can update their skills and stay current with assessment practices.

APPRECIATION My staff and I would like to thank the Conference Board, the Board of Review, the City Attorney and her assistants, and the City Staff for their assistance, cooperation and confidence during the past year.

The coefficient of dispersion (C. O.D.) is a measure of assessment uniform ity based on the de gree to which individ ual sales ra tios vary from the median sales ratio. The goal of the Iow a City Assessor is to keep this C.O.D. below 10. A C.O.D. of 10 is considered excellent and was attained in 2006 by only 6 of the 107 assessing jurisdictions in Iowa. The following table shows the median, C.O.D., and the number of deed sales for Iowa City Residential Property since the assessments went t o the 100% level in 1975.

For brevity, only the top 10 are shown. Data is for 2006 sales which is the last complete year available. These tables show that Iowa City is still one of only a few jurisdictions in Iowa with a C.O.D. of less than 10. The average sale price of a home in Iowa City is one of the highest in Iowa for 2006. Iowa City also has a large number of sales as could be expected by its size and mobile population.

An index of 100.00 indicates no difference in assessments of high value properties in comparison to low value properties based upon that year's sales. An index over 100 indicates that high value properties are under assessed in relation to low value properties. As you can see in the following table, Iowa City's regression index is still close to the ideal 100.00 level. Again, for brevity, only the top 20 are shown.

Currently there is one handicapped space on Linn Street and two on College Street. Parking Department figures show that the metered handicapped space on Linn Street was occupied 31 % of the time in 2007. If the two spaces on College Street are included, the percent occupied is 32%. Adding an additional handicapped only space on Linn Street would require the loss of two of the five twenty minute spaces we have for quick visits to the Library. These spaces are very popular with library users and, although I have no firm numbers, I would estimate they are filled 85-90% of the time the library is open and serve about one hundred short term parkers in a single day. At this time Joe Fowler and I do not recommend additional handicapped meters on Linn Street in front of the Library. cc: Dale Helling Joe Fowler IP5 Marian Karr _ .____._ ...~ .

I understand a large amount of time and effort is present in the design of refuse and recycling systems. Iowa City is leaps and bounds ahead of many similar metropolitan areas in terms of recycling and environmental resposibility. would hope that in the future Iowa City moves toward a more stringent one container refuse policy. This would assuredly increase the volume of recycled material. As a I said in my previous email, if City refuse is a mandatory program, recycling should be as well. Thanks again, Adam Herrig ll r~,~~n4.I ~-b'Y~~Li 1 d,.1 ST`. v~K'ck~'c~ ----- Original Message ----- C~~~l,~;~ t n~k~~ From: Rodney Walls To: adam herrig~a mchsi.com Cc: *Ci Council ;Rick Fosse ;Kathryn Johansen Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 10:16 AM Mr. Herrig: This e-mail is in response to the a-mail you sent to the Iowa City Council regarding refuse and recycling rates. I understand that you would like Iowa City to make a lower rate available to residents who put out less trash, perhaps a pay as you throw program like the City of Dubuque has implemented. Our current program is a similar program to the City of Dubuque's, although our thresholds are different. They pay $9.89 per month to dispose of one 35 gallon container per week, and have a $1.25 sticker available for extra bags. Our program allows residents to dispose of two 35 gallon containers per week for a monthly fee of $10.40, with a $1.00 sticker available for extra bags. Although our volume based rates are less aggressive than Dubuque's, they were adopted by our council after considerable discussion as the right balance for our community. Recycling is a priority for the City of Iowa City. The City of Iowa City now has a recycling coordinator on staff, Jennifer Jordan. Jennifer is working on promoting recycling throughout the community. In addition, the landfill has a hazardous waste center where residents can make an appointment to dispose of hazardous materials. Any usable paint, cleaning supplies or pesticides are made available to the public free of charge. An East side recycling center is also available at 2401 Scott Blvd. SE and it will be expanded upon in the near future. More information on these City services is available on our website http~//www icgov orq/garbage/index htm Overall, the City has made many efforts to help reduce landfill waste. The goal of the City is to provide efficient service to its residents for waste disposal. Efforts will continue to promote recycling within the City, to provide efficient, reasonably priced services to the residents, and to keep current with Solid Waste trends. Thank you for taking the time to inquire about our services. If you have further questions you may reach my office at (319)356-5180. We appreciate your efforts to recycle. 1/30/2008 Page 2 of 2 Rodney Walls Asst.

These are signs advertising rental agencies and are affixed permanently to houses. It is our understanding that they are in defiance of section 14-5B-8 of the City's code, which states: 14-SB-8: SIGNS PERMITTED BY ZONE: A.Sign Standards For ID And OPDH Zones: I. Permitted Signs: a. Single-family uses and two-family uses are not allowed to install permanent signs, except for one small identification building sign and one integral sign and public flags, as specified in table 5B-1. 4-9C-1: DEFINITIONS: IDENTIFICATION SIGN: A sign displaying the name, address, crest, insignia or trademark, occupation or profession of an occupant of a building or the name of any building on the premises. INTEGRAL SIGN: A sign carved into stone, concrete or other building material or made of bronze, aluminum or other permanent type of construction and made a part of the building to which it is attached. We would be grateful if the Housing and Inspection Services office would enforce the above statute, and ask offenders to remove permanent signs from buildings. I am including below a short list (by no means complete) of some of the Northside addresses at which illegal signs can be found. Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter.

The 2007 session of the Older Iowans Legislature enacted nine bills that have now been submitted to the 2008 session of the Iowa General Assembly for consideration as House Files and Senate Files. The 2007 OIL bills deal with the following concerns: Senior Living Trust Fund, Elder Abuse Initiative Program, parity reimbursement for home services, long term care insurance, personal needs allowance, elderly waiver case management, consumer fraud protection, property tax relief, and Internet sales taxes. OLDER IOWANS LEGISLATURE: MISSION STATEMENTS The Older Iowans Legislature is anon-profit organization registered in the State of Iowa. Our primary purpose is to improve the quality of life of Iowa's Seniors. We place special emphasis on the frail elderly; those citizens who contributed much to our society, but have exhausted their resources and are in need of assistance to lead meaningful lives. It is the purpose of the Older Iowans Legislature to "Pursue Quality of Life for Older Iowans". We will voice their needs to the general public, all governmental bodies, and service providers. We will provide opportunities for older Iowans to learn and participate in governmental processes to help solve problems facing seniors. In formulating our policies we will seek the wisdom, knowledge and concerns of all, but will speak as an independent voice for older Iowans. The goals of the Older Iowans Legislature in 2008 are summarized as LISTEN, LEARN, PARTICIPATE, ADVOCATE, and EDUCATE. • LISTEN: The Older Iowans Legislature will listen to all citizens of Iowa in order to identify issues for which to advocate. It is very important that we "seek the wisdom, knowledge and concerns of all" to formulate our policies and to write bills for submission to the OIL legislative session. • LEARN: A major focus of the Older Iowans Legislature has always been to provide opportunities for older Iowans to learn about governmental processes. It is important that the OIL members know how to communicate with their local Representative and Senator and to understand the lawmaking process at the Iowa Capitol. • PARTICIPATE: The legislative sessions of the Older Iowans Legislature in the House Chamber at the Iowa Capitol provide rich annual opportunities for OIL members to participate in governmental processes. Additional opportunities for participation in governmental processes are offered during the sessions of the Iowa General Assembly when OIL members are encouraged to visit the Capitol to observe the lawmaking process and to educate certain Senators and Representatives about OIL issues. • ADVOCATE: The Older Iowans Legislature's purpose is to "Pursue Quality of Life for Older Iowans" by voicing their needs, and especially 2 the needs of the frail elderly, to the general public and to service providers. A major focus of the Older Iowans Legislature is to voice the needs of older Iowans to the Iowa General Assembly and to all governmental bodies. • EDUCATE: As anon-profit group registered in the state of Iowa, the Older Iowans Legislature's primary focus is to educate the public and the Iowa General Assembly about issues of concern to the Older Iowans Legislature. The Older Iowans Legislature is committed to "speak as an independent voice for older Iowans". It is important that older Iowans be empowered with the knowledge that they need to actively participate in helping to solve some of the problems facing all citizens, and especially the seniors. The Older Iowans Legislature looks forward to an exciting season of advocacy for issues of concern to older adults in 2008. Iowa citizens over the age of 60 are encouraged to consider joining the Older Iowans Legislature and participate in its efforts to improve the quality of life of Iowa's seniors and especially the frail elderly.

Donaldson, OIL Speaker of the House The 2008 General Assembly is under way and we already are having some serious disagreements over the budget. Last years spending Bills exceeded the projected revenue and with the slow down in the economy it is going to be necessary to be extremely prudent in the appropriation Bills this year. It appears there is going to be a shortfall of between $180 and $250 million. Taking that into consideration it would be wise for OIL to only push for Bills that do not require any major expenditures. In other words we can strive for action on the Insurance Bills, standardization of Long Term Health Care Insurance and Medicare Prescription Drug Part "D". The Bill on "consumer fraud" does not require major funding, "freezing of property tax for owner/occupied residences for people of 65" also does not require a major appropriation and is a start in re-structuring property taxes in Iowa. "Elderly abuse" should be a priority for OIL and not only does not require major funding but will actually cut expenditures over a short period of time. The increase in the personal allowance of Title XIX patients only requires minor changes in the Appropriation Bill and is much needed. If we are to assure the General Assembly that we recognize their problems this would be one way to do it and also to improve our image by getting some of our priority items enacted. A big aTHANKS" for services given: Frances Thom, Centerville, has assumed state Treasurer duties from former long time State Treasurer Janet Boley of Burlington. As a part of good business practices, a transfer audit was conducted by members Bill Hart (Ottumwa), Harvey Martens (Des Moines) and Maurice Phillips (Newton), who reported "the records were in acceptable order" according to report made at the Nov. 14'h state Board meeting. The account is now vested with the US Bank US Bank in Centerville. A big THANK YOU to Janet for your years of service as our state Treasurer. Your work is much appreciated. A Note from the OIL Treasurer: A reminder for individual members that 2008 membership dues or renewals can be paid anytime if not already paid.

They also conducted a discussion about maintaining contact with the Iowa General Assembly and the general public. Central District member John Connors proposes that the Older Iowans Legislature plan a series of meetings with elected officials, media representatives and the general public to present and explain the issues of interest to OIL. John suggests the meetings would both be opportunities to communicate our objectives and to listen to all citizens of Iowa in order to identify issues that OIL might later propose as bills. As a former Representative, John Connors reminds us that Iowa's elected officials are always interested to hear from their constituents. He says personal contact is the most effective, followed by telephone calls and then personal letters. Did you Know....that Central District OIL member Nancy Nichols is vice-chair of the Iowa Elder Affairs Commission? Legislative "COOKIE DAY" is February 19'h from 10 AM to 2 PM at Rotunda in the state capitol in Des Moines.

For further information contact Sharon Burton, sharon@simpco.org University of Iowa Center on Aging: Lori Benz reports that Dr. Natalie Denburg, a neuroscience researcher at UI who is affiliated with the Center on Aging's Cancer and Aging Program, has just published some interesting finds related to decision- making by older adults, particularly as it might relate to consumer fraud. Lori writes, "since this is one of the OIL-supported legislative topics, I thought it might be of interest to your readers -including legislators." In other news from the Center on Aging, director Julie Bobbit notes they are working on the Iowa Coalition on Mental Health and Aging www.icmha.ora The Coalition has plans to hold a pre-conference session (full-day) dedicated to Mental Health/Mental Wellness of older adults on the Sunday prior to the regular Governor's Conference on Aging (May 18, 2008). UI study examines decision-making deficits in older adults Recent work led by University of Iowa neuroscientist Natalie Denburg, Ph.D., suggests that for a significant number of older adults, measurable neuropsychological deficits do seem to lead to poor decision-making and an increased vulnerability to fraud. The findings also suggest that these individuals may experience disproportionate aging of a brain region critical for decision-making. See full article -reprinted (thanks to the UI Dept. of Aging Studies) -see page 6 Editor's Note: Dr. Denburg's U of I stud y should be of particular interest to our state lawmakers who are being asked to consider legislation fo protect seniors in Iowa against consumer fraud and elder abuse. The OIL Districts: Question has been raised by the state board as to the districting of the Older Iowans Legislature and the value of having it the way it is. In some ways, it seems cumbersome. Consider the following: • There are 13 Area Agencies on Aging and there are 9 OIL Districts in Iowa. • Southwest 8 Senior Services AAA contains all of the 8 counties of OIL's Southwest District. • Elderbridge AAA (offices in Mason City, Fort Dodge and Carroll) contains the sum total of all the 20 counties contained in the OIL North AND North Central Districts. • ~ Seneca AAA of Ottumwa contains all 10 of the counties in the OIL South-SouthEast District. • OIL's Central District's 9 counties cover some counties served by Aging Resources of Central Iowa and some served by Hawkeye Valley AAA of Waterloo. • Northwest District of OIL likewise covers counties served by Northwest Aging association AAA and by Siouxland Aging Services. • While all of Area XIX AAA's seven counties are served by South District of OIL, an .additional three of the South District's 10 Counties are served by Aging Resources in Des Moines. • NorthEast OIL District has even more complications what with servicing counties variously in Hawkeye Valley AAA, Northland AAA, and Scenic Valley AAA. • South East District, with 15 counties, may be the most complicated of all the OIL Districts what with serving a collection of counties that fall under four different Area Agencies on Aging (Generations of Davenport, Heritage of Cedar Rapids, SE Iowa of Burlington and Scenic Valley of Dubuque. The QUESTION: Is this the best arrangement? What do you think? It would be good to hear from members on this issue including Professional Members and other AAA's. We will publish your responses. Additionally, the state of Iowa has viewed apportionment in yet different ways. For example, consider our state representative and senatorial districts. These have changed at various times to reflect changing population patterns.

And, if so, how exactly does aging ~~ ~'f.affect judgment and decision-making "' '~~abilities? Recent work led by University of Iowa neuroscientist Natalie Denburg, Ph.D., suggests that for a significant number of older adults, measurable neuropsychological deficits do seem to lead to poor decision-making and an increased vulnerability to fraud. The findings also suggest that these individuals may experience disproportionate aging of a brain region critical for decision-making. "Our research suggests that elders who fall prey to fraudulent advertising are not simply gullible, depressed, lonely or less intelligent. Rather, it is truly more of a medical or neurological problem," said Denburg, who is an assistant professor of neurology in the UI Roy J. and .Lucille A. Carver Colley Medicine. "Our work sheds new light on this problem and perhaps may lead to a way to identify people at risk of being deceived." Being able to identify how aging affects judgment and decision-making abilities could have broad societal implications. How to combat deceptive advertising targeted at older individuals -- some of whom appear to be particularly vulnerable to fraud -= is one important area of concern. In addition, older age is a time when individuals often are faced with many critical life decisions, including health care and housing choices, investment of retirement income, and allocation of personal wealth. "By simply identifying a person as potentially vulnerable to fraud, family members can be more vigilant and can implement measures to protect the older adult," Denburg said. "In addition, a conservator or family member could be involved in transactions involving large amounts of money." 6 Denburg's most recent study, published December 2007 in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, shows that 35 to 40 percent of a test group of 80 healthy older adults with no apparent neurological deficits have poor decision-making abilities as tested in a laboratory experiment known as the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). The IGT is a computerized decision-making test where participants draw cards from different decks with the aim of maximizing their winnings. Some of the decks yield good results in aggregate, while others yield poor outcomes. Following the -makers through several additional tests, the researchers found that in addition to the poor performance on the IGT, this subgroup of older adults also were more likely to fall prey to deceptive advertising. Using a set of real advertisements that had been deemed misleading by the Federal Trade Commission and several counterpart, non-deceptive advertisements, the study showed that the poor decision-makers are much less able to spot inconsistencies and pick up on deceptive messages than good decision-makers. Poor decision-makers also were more. likely to indicate an intention to buy the article advertised in the misleading advertisement. In contrast, there was no difference in comprehension of non-deceptive advertisements between the two groups of older adults. The researchers also measured the amount of palm sweating for each participant as they performed the Iowa Gambling Task. Bodily (or autonomic) responses, like sweating, have been shown to play an important role in decision-making. When these responses are absent or abnormal, then decision-making also is affected. Good decision-makers display different anticipatory responses (amount of sweating) prior to a good or a bad choice, which appears to help them discriminate between the two options. In contrast, the older adults with poor decision-making abilities did not sweat more or less when deciding between a good or bad choice. Another group of patients who perform poorly on the IGT and have abnormal bodily responses to the test are individuals with acquired damage to the ventromedial 7 prefrontal cortex (VMPC) -- an area of the brain that appears to be critical for good decision-making. "Our hypothesis is that older poor decision-makers have deficits in their prefrontal cortex," Denburg explained. "The next element of our study will be to complete structural and functional brain-imaging studies to see if we can identify differences between poor decision- makers and good decision-makers either in brain structure or in how the brain functions during decision- making tasks." The team is conducting structural imaging tests, and Denburg has just received athree-year, $100,00 grant from the Dana Foundation to do functional imaging studies. Preliminary analysis of the structural imaging data suggests there are physical differences between the brains of poor decision-makers and those of the good decision-makers. Understanding the neurological basis for impaired decision-making could also suggest potential medications that might help. Some studies have suggested that altering neurotransmitter levels may affect decision-making ability. However, Denburg notes that this approach is speculative at this time. The current study "was funded by a grant from the National Institute on Aging. In addition to Denburg, the research team included Michael Hernandez, a UI neurosciences graduate student, and Torricia Yamada, a UI counseling psychology graduate student; Daniel Tranel, Ph.D., UI professor of neurology and psychology; Antoine Bechara, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Southern California and UI adjunct associate professor of neurology; Catherine Cole, Ph.D., professor and head of marketing in the UI Henry B. Tippie College of Business; and Robert Wallace, M.D., professor of epidemiology in the UI College of Public Health.

This extreme winter has greatly '~ depleted salt supplies in the region, and all road crews, including Iowa City's, are struggling to get restocked after each winter storm. Hubbard Feeds came to Iowa City's aid this past weekend. Hubbard had 10 tons of a +~ livestock feed supplement on hand, consisting of mostly salt with some baking soda mixed in. Unfortunately for their operation, the formula was not mixed at a ratio that they could use. Hearing about the City's salt shortage, Plant Manager Bob Berkenpas offered the mixture to the City last Friday. After a few quick tests it was eagerly accepted. It didn't last long once it was delivered to the Streets Division, as it was used on local streets this past Sunday and is already used up. Rick Fosse, Public Works Director, said the City appreciates Hubbard Feeds' contribution to the snow removal effort.

PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA None. CONSIDERATION OF THE. MINUTES OF THE NOVEMBER 1, 2007 MEETING MOTION: Rick moved to approve the minutes with minor corrections; Mark seconded. The motion passed 7:0. DISCUSSION ON REVISED PROPOSAL AND BUDGET FOR BJ KATZ PROPOSAL Marcia requested that the Committee review and approve the budget for BJ Katz' proposal prior to the January 25th City Council meeting. She noted that the installation and lighting costs were undetermined at this point. The piece would be lit with halogen down lighting and a potential bumper system installed to protect the glass from breaking if it hit the wall. One member questioned if the City would be liable for any injuries resulting from broken glass. It was clarified that the City would be liable. Jan asked how this piece would be mounted. After consulting with engineers, it was decided that the piece will be hung from the ceiling rather than mounted on the wall. The panels will be hung out of reach of the public. The Committee discussed the appropriate fee for installation and lighting. The Committee determined that installation and lighting costs should not exceed $15,000. Jan moved that installation and lighting should not exceed $15,000. Terry seconded. Motion passed 7:0. Jan moved to approve BJ Katz' proposed budget. Terry seconded. Motion passed 7:0. BJ Katz will entrust the task of installation to the Committee. It is possible that Parks and Recreation may be able to lend a hand in the installation process. Mark suggested Jake Henkel or Dave Ray with Shive Hattery in Cedar Rapids as potential contractors. The Committee noted that they should first check with Eleanor before hiring the contractor. Terry indicated that he does not want installation to interrupt swim lessons scheduled to begin in mid June. The Committee agreed that installation could be done prior to swim lessons, potentially during the first week of June. The Committee also discussed installation prior to Arts Fest with a public dedication during Arts Fest. Some publicity will be done for the dedication. BJ Katz recently titled the piece "Dancing Water." BJ Katz would like to travel to Iowa City to supervise installation and to speak to the public about the piece and art in general. She would also like to make a presentation to students. DISCUSSION REGARDING FUTURE PROJECTS OF PUBLIC ART PROGRAM Marcia indicated that if $80,000 is reserved for the Katz project, then $52,000 will be left over. An additional $50,000 will be made available at the beginning of the next fiscal year. Marcia indicated that two neighborhood art projects have yet to be funded. The Melrose Neighborhood has proposed a historic marker project similar to Longfellow's. Washington Hills Neighborhood sent a preliminary proposal for an art/playground project for Pheasant Hill Park. This project is not likely to be ready for funding before the summer of 2008. These projects should not exceed $15,000 each. Terry noted that he thinks the Washington Hills art project is a neat idea; however, special safety consideration needs to be taken if the art is to be used as playground equipment. The creator of the art at the new transportation center is interested in creating a concept plan for a sculpture garden in Iowa City. The Committee discussed installing the old downtown fountain sculpture at Chauncey Swan Park. This had been discussed in previous years. At that time the City Manager had wanted to install the fountain component which was slated to cost $120,000. As an alternative the Committee discussed the possibility of having light flow through the sculpture to simulate water flow. This would dramatically decrease the cost compared to installing the water feature. It was noted that this piece will probably need some refinishing. It was also clarified that the brick portion is not part of the sculpture. There have been no updates from Tom Awad or Tony Carter regarding their mural proposal. A Committee member indicated that a request for proposal may be in order for future murals. Rick noted that murals can potentially. be obstacles for future development opportunities. Terry indicated that Parks and Recreation has submitted a Community Attraction and Tourism (CAT) grant for the future Sand Lake Park. The CAT Committee looks more favorably on projects that include public art components. Terry is looking into ways to raise money for a public art piece in this park. He is seeking support from the Public Art Committee in this endeavor, but not necessarily monetary support. Terry also noted that the park in the Northside Neighborhood could use to add a public art piece. Terry presented a map of all. the public art pieces in Iowa City parks. The east side of town is deficient in public art in the parks. If the Washington Hills Neighborhood receives funding for their project, their project will fill some of this void. Mark asked the Committee to consider performance arts or possibly an event for future funding opportunities. The Committee will check the bylaws to determine if this is possible. The Committee asked Marcia for an update on the "archways" lighting project that was proposed for the alleyways a few years back. She indicated that nothing has been happening with that. Marcia noted that the Art Off The Wall event during Arts Fest last year was of marginal success. Two of the three projectors were not powerful enough and the locations somewhat poor to make this event successful. However, it did serve to make the public more aware of the Public Art Committee. The Kids Tent was a big success last year. The calligrapher was highly popular. Marcia offered the suggestion of offering a venue in the alleys for artists without a large inventory or a booth during Arts Fest. Terry presented a "utility box" art pamphlet. Patrick suggested an idea of using old cigarette machines to create vending art. This was done in Kansas City. Rick suggested decorative parking meters to support non-profits and address the pan handler issue downtown. This was done in Nashville. In Chicago "plant art" was woven onto metal frames and placed in planters. COMMITTEE TIME/UPDATES Marcia reported that one of the Northside Street signs was stolen. Someone had sawed through the metal post. This is the 2~d Northside houses to be taken. At this time there is nothing to replace it. Marcia asked that the Committee consider whether these should be replaced or not. The street signs had to be configured to accommodate the art by using double the signage. In the mean time, Marcia needs to let the Streets Department know if they should replace the sign with one that is configured for the art of if they should replace it with a regular street sign. John Coyne is still in the area and has the molds to make replacements. According to Marcia he is ready and willing to make replacements. She is awaiting a cost estimate from John. Rick and Jeff indicated that they would like to see the signs configured for the art put up. Marcia reported the artist of the piece on the pedestrian bridge at the corner of Iowa Avenue and Riverside Drive would like the City to assume ownership of the artwork. He lives in Colorado now and does not want to continue to obtain a permit from the Iowa Department of Transportation to keep the piece in place. The Committee will check with IDOT on the permit terms for future art pieces in this location. Poetry in Public is underway. Submissions are due on Friday, February 1 S'. Emily Carter-Walsh served on the selection committee last year. Marcia will need a replacement for her to review the submissions in mid March. ADJOURNMENT Finlayson moved to adjourn; Carney seconded.

Unanimous. Moved by Gustaveson, seconded by O'Leary to approve the concept of developing a small dog park, approximately 3 acres in size, in Scott Park. Ayes: Gustaveson, O'Leary, Pacha, Raaz. Nays: Loomer, Reisetter. Motion carried. PUBLIC DISCUSSION: Del Holland encouraged that Commission continue discussions with the Elks Club regarding a proposed extension of the Peninsula Park Trail to Taft Speedway. Trueblood and Robinson will continue to follow up. CONSIDER DEVELOPING A DOG PARK, APPROXIMATELY 3 ACRES IN SIZE, IN THE SOUTHEASTERN CORNER OF SCOTT PARK: Trueblood reported at the December 2007 meeting that staff and DogPAC are considering the establishment of a small dog park in Scott Park. The proposed location is a section in the extreme southeastern corner of the park approximately three acres in size. Marcia Klingaman, Neighborhood Services Coordinator, sent a letter out to the Scott Park neighbors to inform them of this proposal. Trueblood has received a few responses to date, two of which are against the idea, two are for it and two were undecided but have some concerns. These concerns include parking issues and the potential for cutting into the park space that is currently used for sledding, football and soccer. Trueblood addressed the space concerns by reporting that there will still be Parks and Recreation Commission January 9, 2008 Page 2 of 5 ample room to allow for soccer practice and flag football, and that the proposed area will not interfere in any way with the sled riding activities. Pacha asked if staff is concerned about potential flooding at this park. Trueblood agreed that this could be a concern as Scott Park is a storm water management area. However, Gustaveson mentioned that he has lived in the area for nine years and could only recall a couple of instances where the park was flooded. Trueblood mentioned that they would be taking this into consideration especially when placing the entrance gate to the dog park area, further stating that at times only part of the dog park may be flooded. Reisetter asked staff who would be responsible for paying for this dog park. Trueblood said it would come out of the DogPAC funds; however, the City would still be responsible for maintenance costs, with assistance from DogPAC volunteers, similar to the arrangement with Thornberry Park. Patrons will need to purchase the same dog tag that is necessary for the Thornberry Off-Leash Dog Park. O'Leary asked if the revenue has been enough to off-set the expenses. Trueblood stated not so far, however, that is expected during the establishment of such a park. Staff expects maintenance fees to start decreasing now that necessary items are in place. Pacha opened discussion up to the public present at this time. Sue Kloos stated that she fully supports the park. She asked how people would access the dog park area. Trueblood stated that for now it would be accessed the same as the fields etc. are currently accessed at the park, walking from the parking area. Trueblood will be talking with the necessary departments regarding the parking concerns along Scott Boulevard. Jean Walker, DogPAC member, stated that the idea of these smaller dog parks is to provide an area for neighboring residents to take their dogs, hoping that there will be more foot traffic than vehicle traffic to the park, therefore, alleviating some of the parking concerns. Sharon Dolash supports the idea of pedestrian crossings being addressed in the plan, or perhaps adding push button lights at the crosswalks to address some of the safety concerns of people crossing Scott Blvd. Trueblood will follow up with necessary staff regarding these ideas and concerns. Discussion continued with Commission members. Reisetter said that as this is prime parkland and is currently used for soccer, football, sledding and other activities, he is reluctant to approve taking approximately one-third of that section of the park for a dog park. Trueblood mentioned that before the Thornberry Dog Park went into the Peninsula Park that there was public discussion about where to place such a park and that at that time Scott Park was a possibility. At that time when discussing Scott Park the plan was to use a much larger portion of the park than what is now being discussed. At that time when meeting with the neighborhood there was very little opposition, but it was ultimately decided that the Peninsula area would be a more suitable choice for a large dog park. Gustaveson stated his support for this proposal saying that he feels it just enhances the "multiuse" abilities of the park. Raaz asked staff how they arrived at the size of approximately three acres. Trueblood stated that when discussing dog parks in the past it was determined that a dog park should not be any smaller than 2.5-3 acres in size as a smaller park would present greater difficulty in maintaining adequate turf. Parks and Recreation Commission January 9, 2008 Page 3 of 5 Gustaveson mentioned that a bridge placed at the backside of the dog park may be a good idea for the future to help lessen foot traffic across the green space of the park. Raaz encouraged that staff investigate traffic calming/quieting methods with appropriate City staff for this area and also address the parking needs. He also voiced his concern regarding the fence, wanting to make sure that this fence would not discourage people who wanted to walk near the creek to do so. Trueblood said that the planned fence would be placed so as not to do this. Loomer voiced her concern about using parkland for dog parks. Ed Zastrow from the public gave his support for the dog park in Scott Park. He further stated that the popularity of Thornberry Off-Leash Dog Park is evident and this additional dog park would provide another option for Iowa City residents and perhaps alleviate some of the issues at the Thornberry Off-Leash Dog Park. Those present from the public voiced no opposition to the proposal. Moved by Gustaveson, seconded by O'Leary to approve the concept of developing a small dog park, approximately 3 acres in size, in Scott Park Ayes: Gustaveson, O'Leary, Pacha, Raaz Nays: Loomer, Reisetter. Motion carried. CONSIDER ADOPTING A RULE WITH REGARD TO VOTING ABSTENTIONS: Trueblood stated that while this has not been a serious problem for the Commission in the past, because of a recent vote regarding the Wetherby House where there were six abstentions, he was concerned that the vote could have caused some problems. He discussed his concern with the City Attorney who stated that there was not a problem, but that the Commission may want to review the resolution regarding abstentions at City Council meetings that was adopted by the Council in 2000. Trueblood further stated that the Commission is not obligated to adopt this rule, but thought they may want to discuss. After discussion, the Commission decided it wasn't necessary for them to adopt the same abstention policy that governs City Council meetings. The Commission did agree by consensus, however, that a Commissioner should not abstain from voting unless there is a reason given, and generally this would be only due to a conflict of interest. In response to a question, Trueblood reported that the Wetherby House has a new owner and the plan, as he understands it, is to have the house moved onto private property located at 611 N. Governor (on the corner of Governor and Church Streets). UPDATE/DISCUSSION RELATIVE TO MASTER PLAN: Trueblood distributed a copy of the Progress Report from GreenPlay, LLC regarding the Iowa City Parks, Recreation and Trails Master Plan to Commission Members and members of the audience. Citizen surveys are to be mailed out to approximately 2,500 citizens this week. A Parks and Recreation Commission January 9, 2008 Page 4 of 5 "Findings Presentation" will be scheduled during the third or fourth week in February. Recommendations and action plans will be developed in March after findings compilation is approved. More discussion ensued about the Findings Presentation and how the Commission wants to proceed with that. The choices include calling a special meeting (expected to take approximately two hours) of the Commission to review or they may choose to have a summary presentation given to them following the full presentation. It was the consensus of the Commission that this matter is important enough to devote either an entire Commission meeting to this or to calla "special meeting." Pacha asked what the steps were in adopting the master plan. Trueblood stated that it would be adopted by the Commission and then should probably go to the City Council for formal adoption if they choose to do so. COMMISSION TIME/SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS: Raaz suggested that the Commission discuss adopting a policy regarding the placement of historic properties in city parks, perhaps inviting the Historic Preservation and other interested parties to a future Commission Meeting for discussion. CHAIR'S REPORT No report. DIRECTOR'S REPORT The Angel of Hope: Trueblood reviewed a letter he received from The University of Iowa Children's Hospital regarding their request for the use of Riverside Festival Stage for their inaugural Children's Hospital Memorial Service. Of note is that in the letter they mention that they selected City Park "because of its beauty and the presence of the Angel of Hope. We feel that many families will find meaning and peace in gathering at the statue with so many other grieving parents and siblings." Information item only. Budget Meeting: The City Council will be hearing from various boards and commissions at a meeting on Wednesday, January 23 at 6:30 p.m. The Parks and Recreation Commission is scheduled to present at 7:15 p.m. for 15 minutes. New Staff Member: Trueblood announced that the Recreation Division has hired Jeff Sears as a Program Supervisor to replace Bill Blanchard who recently retired. Sears will start on Monday, January 14. Trueblood will invite him to a future Commission meeting. Sears is currently the Recreation Director in Grinnell. Snow & Ice Removal: Trueblood has asked Robinson to present, at a future meeting, a report to the Commission regarding the snow and ice removal responsibilities of Parks, Forestry CBD, and Cemetery Divisions. He further noted that this includes much more than just parks and trails. Some discussion ensued regarding responsibility of cleaning crosswalks and sidewalks as Gustaveson indicated there has been some question of that in the downtown area. Robinson reported that it is the responsibility of the property owner to remove ice/snow that has Parks and Recreation Commission January 9, 2008 Page 5 of 5 "naturally" occurred, but is not required to remove snow/ice that is put their due to plowing etc. This is not the case however for homeowner's driveways -that is the responsibility of the property owner regardless of how the snow/ice got there.
