Civic Center- Harvat Hall
410 E. Washington Street www.icgov.org
ITEM 1. CALL TO ORDER.
ROLL CALL.
ITEM 2. PLANNING AND ZONING MATFERS.
a. Consider an ordinance vacating the twenty-three foot wide Grand Avenue
Court right-of-way, commencing from the north right-of-way line of Melrose
Avenue and extending northward for a distance of two hundred ninety-five
feet. (Second Consideration)
Comment: At its August 15 meeting, by a vote of 6-1 (Shannon voting no),
the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the
proposed vacation, subject to creation of utility easements where
necessary, and subject to agreement by The University of Iowa that it will
comply with the Iowa City Historic Preservation Ordinance regarding the
Cannon-Gay House, a National Register-listed house and designated Iowa
City Historic Landmark at 320 Melrose Avenue. A joint meeting of the
Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council was held on October 7,
2002. Letters were received from The University of Iowa dated October 3
agreeing to the conditions. At the Council work session of October 21, staff
was direct to pursue a transportation study in this area. This item is on for
expedited consideration at the request of the City Council.
Action:
November 4, 2002 City of Iowa City Parle 2
ITEM 3. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY
CODE TITLE14, ENTITLED "UNIFORM DEVELOPMENT CODE," CHAPTER
5, ENTITLED "BUILDING AND HOUSING," ARTICLE E, ENTITLED
"HOUSING CODE" TO REQUIRE THAT ALL LANDLORDS AND TENANTS
EXECUTE AN INFORMATIONAL DISCLOSURE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
FORM AND BY DELETING THE REQUIREMENT THAT THE CITY PROVIDE
WRI'I-I'EN NOTICE OF HOUSING VIOLATIONS BEFORE ISSUING A
MUNICIPAL INFRACTION. (SECOND CONSIDERATION)
Comment: This ordinance amends the Housing Code to require that landlords
and tenants sign a form acknowledging specified information including the
maximum occupancy of the rental unit, the names of all tenants, the City's web
site, the "disorderly house" code provision, and responsibility for snow removal
and lawn mowing. Staff estimates that it will take three years to determine the
maximum occupancy for each of the approximate 15,000 rental units. Both the
maximum occupancy and the form will be available on the City's web site. The
ordinance also amends the Housing Code to delete the requirement that the
City provide written notice before a municipal citation is issued, although staff
anticipates that it will continue to provide written notice in nearly every situation.
This ordinance resulted from a recommendation by the Neighborhood Housing
Relations Task Forced. Staff and the neighborhood representatives of the Task
Force are requesting that this be expedited. An earlier version of this ordinance
was set for "pass and adopt" at the October 22 Council meeting, at which time
the Greater Iowa City Apartment Association sought amendments. Neither
staff nor the neighborhood representatives opposed the Apartment
Association's recommendations, and Council adopted them. Because one of
the amendments was a substantial change to the initial draft, the revised
ordinance had its first reading on October 22 rather than its third. The Greater
Iowa City Area Apartment Association does not resist this expedited process.

Re: Melrose Avenue-Grand Avenue Area Traffic Study
Dear Doug:
The City Council has directed City staff to coordinate the traffic study between the City and the University
in the Melrose Avenue-Grand Avenue area. We are proceeding with the understanding that this study is
not impacted by the City Council's possible reconsideration of the proposed Grand Avenue Court
vacation. We would appreciate your letting us know at your earliest convenience who the traffic study
committee players will be on the University's end, so we can get an initial meeting scheduled.
The City Council has directed us to include a representative from the Melrose Avenue Neighborhood
Association on the traffic study committee. The neighborhood group has appointed Jean Walker as their
representative, and the City Council has indicated they would like her to be a functioning member of the
committee. Jean has strong feelings about the proposed vacation of Grand Avenue Court, but she has
been informed that this is not the focus of the traffic study. The traffic study is to determine if realignment
of Melrose Avenue is desirable between Melrose Court and Riverside Ddve, if and when such a
realignment would occur, and how it would be paid for.
I have asked Jeff Davidson to coordinate the traffic study, and Karin Franklin, Rick Fosse, and Brian
Boelk will participate from City staff. We do not believe this will be an adversarial process; I personally
believe that the City's interests are served by the University's continued development in the area, and the
University will benefit from a functional arterial street system. I also believe we can enhance circulation for
pedestrians and bicyclists in accordance with your Campus Planning Framework.
Once J hear from you or the staff person you assign, we can also address the issue of a consultant to
assist us with the study. We have assumed the cost of the study will be split equally between the
University and the City. Our staff has a consultant recommendation we believe would be effective to
assist us with this study. We of course are open to suggestions.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Stephen O. Atkins

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Marian K. Karr, City Clerk ~
RE: Clarification of Initiative Procedure
On October 21, 2002 an affidavit to commence initiative proceedings was filed in my
office which proposes an ordinance restricting the sale of brewed coffee to organic, fair-
trade, or shade-grown certified coffee. My office has received a number of questions
regarding the procedure and I wish to clarify that procedure via this memo. Article VII of
the City Charter sets forth the procedures, and can be found on the City's website, or is
available in the Clerk's office or at the Public Library. To summarize:
1. The affidavit to commence simply stated an intention to secure the required
number of signatures for submission to the City Council.
2. Petitioners have six months to secure the required 2,667 (25% of voters in the
2001 City election) qualified electors (living in Iowa City and registered to vote
and submit to the City Clerk.
3. The City Clerk has 20 days to verify the signatures.
a. If verified sufficient, the Council must promptly act upon the ordinance within
60 days or forward the matter to the voters.
b. If verified as insufficient, the petitioners are notified via certified mail and
given one opportunity to amend. Within two days of receipt of the notice the
petitioners must file notice of their intent to amend with the City Clerk, and
then within 15 days of receipt of the notice must file supplementary petitions.
The petitioners may request that the Clerk's determination of insufficiency be
reviewed by the City Council.
Staff will keep you informed of the progress of this procedure. Please feel free to contact
me with any questions you may have.

Subject: RevoJt
Steve,
Here's the reasoning behind my projections for 2003.
Since opening in September of 2000 Revolt Skateboard Shop has doubled its sales every year. With the rebuilt park we
will accommodate twice as many people, ad to this increased awareness of Revolts existance throughout the midwest,
the growing popularity of skateboarding and added advertising investment, it is safe to say the projections are very realistic
and attainable.
GROSS SALES TO DATE: $60,839.58
COST OF GOODS SOLD: $21,103.05
NET SALES TO DATE: $39,736.53

Steven,
Here is the information the council members requested.
Line 22 on the 2001 schedule C tax return reffers to the merchandise purchased be for the end of the calendar
year. The reason the amount ($27,155) is higher than the gross sales for 2001 ($22.967) is due to the purchase
of merchandise at the en of the year when the business relocated.
Sales to date (profit)
Skateboard Decks: $6,125.00
Skateboard Parts: $3,700.00
Shoes: $4,461.53
Attendance Fees: $21,250.00

Coralville, Iowa 52241
Dear Ms. Brase:
Our daughter, Sarah Riesz, has moved to a supported living house at 2307 Catskill Court.
This letter outlines our request for her transportation by SEATS, as in the past, fi.om
November 15t~ until the weather improves, probably March 15t~.
She works at Target in Coralville on Tuesday, Wednesday and ]]aursday mornings.
She works at Iowa State Bank, downtown, every afternoon.
She goes to Nautilus workout center on Monday and Friday mornings.
Beginning Novembe? !5~ from 2307 Catskill Court:
pick up so that she arrives at Target no later than 8:20 AM. and no earlier than
8:05 AM.
Suggested window:
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, pick-up between 7:35 AM- 8:05 AM
Beginning December 1st addmfrom 2307 Catskill Court:
Mornings
Monday: arrive at Nautilus between 9:15 and 9:30 AM (9:30 ideal)
Suggested window: 8:45 - 9:15 AM
S aY: arrive at Nautilus between 8:20 and 8:40 AM. (8:30 ideal)--]~
uggested window: 7:55 AM - 8:25 AM
Afternoons: return to Catskill
Monday pick-up at Iowa State Bank: between 3:45 and 4:15 PM. Sarah leaves work
earlier that day for a cooking lesson at home.
Tuesday through Friday: pick-up at Iowa State Bank between 4:15 and 4:45 PM.
The above were part of her ride system fi.om home last year.
With regard to ride parameters issued last year:
I. We assume that the scheduling is arranged for "Requests for Drop-offTime." This is
important, since Sarah must punch in at Target T, W, Th at 8:30 A.M. and on Friday
at the bank at 1:00 p.m.
2. In reading the guidelines, it appears that when drop-ofttimes are the basis for
scheduling, that a person can arrive 2 hours prior to the request. Please clarify that the
guideline means that Sarah could arrive at Target at 6:20 AM. I hope is not the case.
3. We can work within the 30 minute window for pick-up..
4. We recognize that weather may sometimes interfere with service regularity.
5. We ~cognize that there may be a 55 - minute permissible ride. Hopefully this will
occur rarely.
Please confirm with us by letter and with the Catskill House the SEATS schedule. As
you know, after two unreliable years, last year's service went well. We look forward to a
smooth beginning to this winter's service and acknowledge that it is a shared service.

MOTION: Bears moved that the minutes of Sept. 12, 2002 be approved as submitted. Anthony seconded
the motion. All in favor, motion passed 6-0 (Deeth, Hoosman & Sandier absent).
Monitorinq Reports
MECCA--Transitional Housing (House)- House read from a memo from Ron Berg. He informed the
committee that they had taken possession of the building August 2002.
Domestic Violence Intervention Program - Furniture Project (Sandier)- Sandier reported that she met with
Kris Kincaid, who administers the program. They just moved into their new facility at the landfill and have
a new shed for receiving. Families are asked to identify material needs before they arrive on the site. The
program helps 10-'15 families a month. There are about 35 furniture projects in the US, some DDIP
connected, and many charge a nominal fee for the furniture. She suggested that it might be appropriate
for this project to charge a small fee, as well. They are currently backed-up 3-4 weeks on furniture pick-
up. There is some question of the City taking over the program. All funds used. The $4500 went mostly to
administrative costs; volunteers are needed.
United Action for Youth--Facility Acquisition (Hoosman)- Long reported in Hoosman's absence that they
have purchased the building at the new parking ramp on Iowa Ave. They are currently fundraising so that
they can move in.

Public Meetinq - Review of the 2001-2006 Consolidated Plan (a.k.a. CITY STEPS)
Long began by saying that this is the third public meeting on this subject (meetings were also held at the
Local Homeless Coordinating Board & at the Broadway Neighborhood Center; both were well attended).
The City finds it a good idea to review CITY STEPS annually because they feel it important to receive
accurate community input for applications.
Sandier arrives.
Correia opened the public hearing:
Herb Hethcote- said that he is on the Board of Directors of Emergency Housing. He pointed out places on
pages 96, 92 & 89 where the data was either misleading or unclear. He wanted to make it clear that there
is a great demand for emergency housing from June-August. He emphasized the need for flexibility in
granting practices, to which Long answered that they already are flexible. Long said that there will be a
change made to page 89 so that needs are broken down by shelter type.
Hoosman arrives.
Crissy Canganelli- She pointed out that nowhere does it show how many people were turned away. She
asked that more accurate counting practices be employed and that the narrative portion of the text show
that between 1980-2000 there was a 35% increase in the population of Johnson City, but a 25%
decrease in general use homeless beds. She pointed out that urgency is missing from this document and
needs to be added.
Wanda & Phil Daniel- Wanda informed the committee that she is a 12 year resident, a city employee and
a mother of three. What she needs help with is finding an affordable house. She asked if the committee
would be able to help her in this endeavor.
Correia- She answered that the committee is currently discussing the document regarding city funding
priorities. So, this public hearing was held to pinpoint those priorities.
Daniel- said that their landlord is Saratoga Springs and has been for six years. There is no room for their
kids and parking is overcrowded. There was a flood in August, which made matters worse, but still they
are grateful for what home they have. They would like to purchase a home so that their 10, 12 and 14
year old kids can live in a better environment. The barriers they see to buying a home are:
1. Credit ($6,000 in debt)
2. No extra money to save; living hand to mouth
3. High cost of living in Johnson County
Hightshoe- she said that these same issues/barriers were brought up at the Broadway Center. One
participant suggested that financial education would enable to her to begin working on a better credit
history that would enable her to obtain housing.
Belman- pointed out that handicapped/eider accessibility is necessary, as is affordability.
James Thomas- stated that he is a 20+ year resident and ran HUD programs in Florida before coming to
Iowa City. He disagreed with page 89, paragraph 3; need to change attitudes. Currently student housing
is favored over Iow-income housing--this needs to change. Biases against lower-income individuals need
to be combated. He said that there is a new Housing Counseling Program in Iowa City and he will be in
touch with the Daniels and will try to help them in their house search.
Jesse Burns- referring to the September 10, 2002 Nasby memo, he said that cost per unit standards will
set a benchmark that drives down opportunities to buy lots in favorable locations; need to look at the big
picture.
Belman- added that there needs to be an integration of disabled and poor into the regular community.
Inclusionary zoning would be a good way to do this.
Housing and Community Development (HCDC)
October 17, 2002
Page 3
Hightshoe- noted that inclusionary zoning has been tried in iowa City, but historically there has not been
enough support to pass it. This option will be researched further.
Thomas- suggested that there be a focus on service for individuals and families (service could include
meals, bus tickets, etc.). He said that page 88 is misleading about effective services.
Correia- summarized that the data needs to be re-researched (need to get non-duplicated numbers) and
re-worked to better reflect community needs. Need to add information on the population increase, as well
as new poverty data. There is a need to address negative community attitudes towards poor and disabled
persons. Cost per unit standards need to be based on the type of building and the location. Housing stock
needs to be affordable for Iow-income owners and renters and needs to be integrated within the
community. Need to reflect that there is economic revenue set aside (9%) based on the total
CDBG/HOME allocation last year. Recommended CDBG & HOME be considered separately since used
separately.
Long- noted that this could be recommended to the City Council, and can break it out into the narrative of
CITY STEPS.
Anthony- commented that this report is a very good effort. In the long term, need to work towards an
update based on the most recent census information; data must be standardized. Right now, the problem
is that we are effectively looking at old needs, new money and new supply--must have better data.
Though this data is currently presented well, it could be done better. Need to show data on housing,
need, supply and market together to better appreciate the numbers and need. Need to go further than
saying what the money need is and show what we currently have. Then people can feel that the problem
is manageable and not nebulous. In short, the data must be combined in a better fashion. At the
beginning of the document, need text about why affordable housing is a priority--effects individuals, the
city, the economy, etc.
As for strategy, Anthony suggested:
1. Housing supply--detail city initiative supply more
2. Show how financial institutions are doing in this city.
3. Try to allocate housing for education programs about affordable housing
Hightshoe- noted that the City Council has a Public Hearing on Nov. 5 and they will vote on Nov. 19 if
necessary. If HCDC wants to make a recommendation they need to do so at this meeting for council
consideration on Nov. 5.
Correia closed the public hearing at ?:48PM.
MOTION: Anthony moved that the City Council reduce economic development set aside monies to
approximately $90,00 by using 9% of Community Development Block Grant funds instead of all
resources--separate it out and reduce set aside. Hoosman seconded the motion. Motion passed 7-0 with
Hayek abstaining because of lack of background on the subject.
Census information will be updated, but not by next month. Anthony suggested that Housing Need
software would be useful; Long agreed, but said this would be costly, so staff will try to develop a similar
program in Excel.
Anthony and possibly Edwards will attend the Council Hearing. It was commented that it would be a good
idea to have a commission presence if the Council has questions.
Old Business
Hightshee reported that all comments from the last meeting were incorporated into CAPERS. Some
things that the committee expressed concerns about were denial reasons for different ethnic Categories--
in the future, will keep track of rates and reasons for denial, it was noted that many denials were due to
insufficient information. Welch noted that Burns & Burns doesn't go through approval processes until a
unit becomes vacant.

Housinq Criteria Discussion--Recommendation to Council
Burns reiterated his opinion that the proposed criteria makes it more expensive to do affordable housing,
which will lead to less affordable housing. He quoted the HOME purposes from the website:
"The purposes of the HOME program in the federal regulation are to extend and strengthen
partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector, including for-profit and non-profit
organizations in the production of and operation of housing affordable to Iow income and moderate
income families. Eligible and ineligible investments, participating jurisdictions are given the discretion
to invest HOME funds as equity investments, interest bearing or non-interest bearing loans or
advances, interest subsidies or other forms of assistance that HUD finds to be consistent with the
purposes of the law."
He said that Burns and Burns is doing its best to be a gap financer, but this criteria makes it more like a
bank--doesn't meet the objectives of HOME.
Welch said that she couldn't understand the interest rate disparity for non- and for-profit companies
working on affordable housing. Costs are often similar between the two, so all you do is push the for-
profits out.
Welch and Burns emphasized that for-profits are not making a lot of money in the affordable housing
industry; they do it because they feel it is important, not profitable. In their opinion, this proposed criteria
should be struck down.
Correia agreed that City Steps seeks to decrease barriers to affordable housing and that this memo
increases the number of barriers. Hightshoe noted that she would look into how other entitlement cities
reviews housing projects. Anthony asked that staff research other communities as well. The commission
will formulate a recommendation at the next meeting; they will also revisit the policy for re-capturing
funds.
Adiournment
MOTION: Hayek moved that the meeting be adjourned. Hoosman seconded the motion. All in favor,
motion passed 8-0. Meeting adjourned at 8:38PM.
***The next meeting will be held on the third Thursday of November.***

Jotmson County will pay the local share of all paratransit vehicle replacements.
· We Will continue to discuss the option of the City of iowa City performing maintenance
on the paratransit vehicles. The charge for this servicewill be based on the current shop
rat~ for the City of Iowa City. The areas we intend to explore for maintenance include
. 'but are not limited t! lifts, air conditioning units, brakes'and body Work.
Igwa City wiil continue to ha;~e the option m use vehicles assigned to Johnson County
SEATS on fixed routes when they are not needed for paratransit service'. Iowa City will
pay the cost of vehicle maintenance for any miles the vehicles are used in fixed route
service.
The following conditions from the current contract will continue to apply to the new
contract: SEATS will provide service to certified Iowa City riders Monday through
Friday from 6:00 a.m. until 10:30 p.m., Saturdays from 6:00 a.m. until 7:30 p.m., and
