SIDEWALK CAFES: Reel 85-C44, Side 2 McDonald stated the president of the Downtown Association requested Council allow the Downtown Association Board of Directors to consider sidewalk cafes and present Council with additional information. McDonald stated Mr. Zuber and Mr. Strait were not present at the sidewalk cafe discussion two weeks ago and asked if they would like to pursue the sidewalk cafe concept. In response to Strait, McDonald stated he has received comments from the j Downtown Association in favor as well as against sidewalk cafes. i McDonald explained that if sidewalk cafes are approved, those establishments would need to be willing to sign separate agreements with the City contract- Ing the number of hours that the business establishment can use the sidewalk J frontage. In response to Ambrisco, McDonald said sidewalk cafes would be included in the CB -2 and CB -10 zones. In response to Strait, Jansen said State law says liquor businesses can remain open the hours that are set forth in State Code, there is nothing in the Code that says they have to stay open, The Legal Department believes that under home rule, the City has the author - 0 Informal Council Discussion June 3, 1985 Page 3 ity to regulate hours of sidewalk cafes if the business voluntarily signs an agreement to do so. Jansen said that a permit can be terminated if there is a breach of the agreement. McDonald noted that permits would be reviewed on a yearly basis. Zuber raised concerns about only allowing eating establishments to utilize the sidewalk frontage for businesses and the affect on pedestrian traffic. Zuber and Strait agreed to consider the sidewalk cafe concept and requested that additional information be received from the Downtown Association before final decisions are made. McDonald stated the Downtown Association will provide Council with additional information within three to four weeks. URBAN ENVIRONMENT AD HOC REPORT: Reel 85-C44, Side 2 Baker requested that the Urban Environment Ad Hoc Committee be granted a one year extension to complete work and ask Council to give further direction about the future role of that committee. Baker said the committee feels performance standards and regulations should be established that would apply ggto the entire city. Baker explained the Committee could recommend general forlCouncili'snapproval. Strait bsaidsthedUrbanoEnvironment Ad Hoc Committee should eventually be disbanded. Council agreed to a one year extension for the Committee. Dickson suggested the Committee contact the State Geological Survey for assistance.

Baker requested a report on how area legislators voted on issues that affect Iowa City. Helling will prepare a report regarding the voting records of area legislators on major issues. 3. In response to Strait, Berlin said the Council can discuss the local option tax before the budget session. McDonald stated a pre -budget Council discussion is scheduled in September to talk with staff regarding sources of revenue. 4.

Tape-recorded: Reel 85-C46, Side 1, 211 -End, Side 2, 1-261. r McDonald stated that both City Attorney applicants have requested closed sessioninterviews. Moved by Erdahl, seconded by Baker, to adjourn to executive session under Section 21.5.1 to evaluate the professional compe- tency of an individual whose appointment, hiring, performance or discharge is i being considered when necessary to prevent needless and irreparable injury to that individual's reputation as that individual requests a closed session. (City Attorney interviews.) Erdahl noted that the applicants, Mr. Timmins and Mr. Kelinson , have cited reasons for the closed session. Strait stated the City Council has a duty to follow the Iowa Open Meetings Law statute regarding the interpretation of 'needless and irreparable injury:• Strait quoted another section of the statute, 'reasonably relied upon decision of a court or a formal opinion of the attorney general or the attorney for the governmental body.' Strait requested an opinion from the City Attorney regarding holding the interviews 1n open or closed sessions. Erdahl said closed session interviews would allow more candor in the evalu- ation process and would protect the reputation of the applicants. McDonald noted that it was his understanding that when an applicant to be interviewed requests a closed session and provides reasons for the closed i session that under the statute the Council can legally grant the applicant that request. Baker asked how a closed session interview differs from closed session evaluations of the City Manager. In response to Baker, Erdahl said both types of dosed sessions are under the same section of the statute. Council recessed to allow for the arrival of the City Attorney. Council recovened the informal discussion upon the arrival of the City Attorney. Jansen reviewed the applicant's request for closed session. Jansen noted that Mr. Timmins stated in his letter that he would support his request for a closed session with specific information at the time of his interview. Jansen stated that two requirements have to be met for a closed session: 1) applicant must request closed session; and 2) applicant must indicate that irreparable injury may occur. Jansen said attorneys are treated differently in that an attorney's prized asset is his reputation as a lawyer and, therefore, certain considerations are made for attorneys that might not be present for another person. Jansen said that the Attorney General has stated that mere inconvenience or embarrassment is not enough to justify a closed Informal Council Discussion June 3, 1985 Page 2 session for the applicant and there must be some indication of irreparable injury or harm. Jansen stated that the Council cannot hold partly closed and partly opened interviews. Jansen stated that he was satisfied with Mr. Kelinson's indication of serious harm or injury if the interview was held in open session. Jansen said the Council needs to establish, on record, the request and justification for the closed session. Inresponse to Strait, Jansen said the Council is capable of going into a closed session if Mr. Timmins' request and specific justification for a closed session is recorded before the Council goes into the closed session. Council agreed to have Mr. Timmins state his reasons for a closed session prior to a decision. Berlin introduced Terry Timmins. Timmins stated that a closed session would allow for certain types of questions and for him to answer them sincerely and honestly; he would feel constrained in a public session; and answers could be injurious and could do his client irreparable harm. I In response to Erdahl, Jansen said motions to hold a closed session should be i done separately for each applicant. In response to Strait, Jansen said Mr. Timmins has firmly stated irreparable injury could occur. In response to McDonald, Jansen said Mr. Timmins has stated proper reasons for a closed session. Erdahl withdrew his previous motion and moved to adjourn to executive session under Section 21.5.1 to evaluate the professional competency of an individ- ual whose appointment, hiring, performance or discharge is being considered when necessary to prevent needless and irreparable injury to that individ- ual's reputation and that individual requests a closed session to interview Craig Kelinson.

Karr explained that E, F, and G are the new classifications denoting off premises sale of wine and there may be a number of new wine permit applications scheduled for Council action at the June 26, 8:00 a.m. special Council meeting. Strait said the new wine permit applications should be closely reviewed. Council Agenda/Time Reel 85-C47, Side 2 i 1. In response to Dickson, Berlin explained that Dave Frantz had constructed a fence on the City right-of-way in violation of the fence ordinance; the fence will have to be moved or an easement given; staff recommends requiring the fence to be moved and constructing the sidewalk in cine with existing sidewalk. Berlin said Mrs. Frantz will attend Tuesday's formal Council meeting. Berlin also raised concerns about enforcing fence ordinance violations consistently and noted that a citizen recently submitted a list to the City of 35 areas where there are fence viola- tions. 2. Dickson reported that the County Attorney has ordered the cottonwood tree on Penfro Drive to be removed. i Space Needs Reel 85-C47, Side 2 In response to McDonald, Vitosh said a building on the Civic Center site would cost $500,000 over a 20 -year period and that it would take an estimated j six months to prepare a prospectus and receive bids for the project. Berlin said the process would include the City preparing a prospectus stating the requirements of the project and the recommended contract; the private developer would submit a proposal; the City would evaluate the proposal and make recommendations to the Council for a preferred developer; the developer would proceed to build the building; and the City would finance it by issuing IRBs. McDonald said the proposal to build on the Civic Center site would ii 3 allow the City to acquire space designed with exact specifications to meet City needs. In response to Strait, Berlin said it would take about one year to complete construction at the Civic Center site. Braverman noted it would take one year to prepare the Elks Building for City use. Svoboda said his proposal would still be available to the City in 6-8 months. Ambrisco inquired about IRB financing. Vitosh explained the Civic Center site project would be financed through the issuance of IRBs to a private developer and the building would be lease purchased by the City over a 20 -year period. Baker inquired about the basis for cost estimates. Vitosh said the $60 per square foot was used to project the new construction cost estimates and the $60 per square foot figure was derived from recent local contract bids and construc- tion costs of the County's new building. Council directed City staff to pursue the proposal to build between the existing Civic Center building and Van Buren Street. McDonald noted the Council's appreciation for proposals submitted by Braverman and Svoboda. Harry Wolf stated that IRB financing cannot be used for more than 35% of a building. Berlin stated that tax laws may be changed and the City's bond .attorney has assured the City that the City could now use IRB financing as proposed. City Plaza Fountain Barrier Reel 85-050, Side 1 McDonald stated he is in favor of posting warning signs at the City Plaza fountain. Baker explained the Design Review Committee suggested inbedding four warning signs, one on each side of the fountain, into the bricks bordering the base. Franklin said that signs would be flat on the outer part so that people could walk over them. Franklin suggested installing signs on the fountain risers and Berlin suggested placing the signs on the side walls of the fountain. Council directed staff to proceed with the design and placement of warning signs at the fountain. Abandoned Vehicle Ordinance Reel 85-050, Side 1 Berlin explained that 30% of calls are complaints of abandoned vehicles and the court system has not been effective in dealing with the problems. In response to Ambrisco, Jansen said parking on other than the driveway 1s prohibited under the Zoning Ordinance. Berlin said the Housing Department will enforce the abandoned vehicle ordinance. Horse-drawn Carriage Ordinance Reel 85-050, Side 1 Jansen stated that the Legal Department has reviewed the horse-drawn carriage ordinance and the horse-drawn carriage provisions will be in Chapters 23 and 35 of the City Code. Jansen said there 1s a question about page two "...provided stands ... in core of downtown area" as it relates to the Plaza. Strait requested all readings be waived. Berlin said the staff has not yet reviewed the ordinance and may need to amend the ordinance if the Council passes the ordinance on all readings at tomorrow's formal Council meeting. Strait said Hesseltine would like to start operating by July 4. Strait reviewed the horse-drawn carriage concept as proposed by Hesseltine. Council inquired about route locations, horse experience in traffic, locations of horse stands, competition with taxis, fees, and allowing the horse-drawn carriages where animals are prohibited. McDonald said Council will consider the ordinance at tomorrow's formal Council meeting and on June 26. 4 Council Time/Agenda Reel 85-050, Side 1 3. Baker asked when Traffic Engineer Brachtel's report on street lighting will be discussed. McDonald said it will be scheduled. 4. Councilmembers discussed the July meeting schedule. Karr noted meetings will be held July 15, 16, 29 and 30, 5. Baker inquired about tree removal as noted in the proposal from John Bramwell regarding Grant Street. Berlin said the trees were probably removed when the new bridge was built. Berlin said the City would like to sell a reasonable piece of the land at reasonable price and negotia- tions are continuing. 6. Baker inquired about language used in the City Attorney -employee agree- ment on page 2, "...illegal act involving personal gain..." and the hours worked provision on page 3. Berlin stated he will check if language on page 2 in the City Attorney employment agreement is standard and said only the City Manager and City Clerk have the hours worked provision and there is a policy that applies to department heads that they may take off time during the day if they have worked extra hours in the evening. Baker asked for examples to the statement on page 5, "arising out of alleged acts of omission." Jansen gave an example and said the provision is consistent with state law. Ambrisco said a provision should be added stating. the City Attorney should be a resident of Iowa City. The resolution will be amended to include the provision. 7. Council reviewed the letter from the League of Municipalities. McDonald said a meeting will be held July 20. 8. Berlin stated the comment for agenda item 22, awarding contract for the public restrooms at Upper City Park, should read $31.940 for the low bidder.

These signs should be designed especially for this purpose upon consultation with the fountain architect. This recommendation was made at the June 5 meeting of the Committee, and the Council has since made a decision regarding the signs. __Ir Council Activities July 16, 1985 Page 6 Erdahl questioned why the water didn't flow as it was designed to and requested staff investigate. Dickson raised concerns re the signs being visible to both the children and the parents.

Planning and Zoning Reel 85-050, Side 2 Setting public hearing, July 30, 1985, ordinance to rezone Lots 7 and 8 of Franklin said the Council will receive more information before the public hearing and the public hearing should be well attended. In response to Erdahl, Franklin explained there is a stormwater management problem in the Pepperwood Addition but it is not related to the proposed commercial develop- ment. Franklin said notices will be sent to the people who attended the Planning and Zoning public hearing. Public Hearin on a resolution to dispose of an alley in Block 1 Manville Heights ddttion to John Harper. Franklin explained that Mr. Harper has tried to acquire the alley for a number of years. In response to Strait, Franklin said the $1000 offer is reasonable as compared to a previous case using the assessed value to determine the land value. Franklin said the University of Iowa, as the adjacent land owner to the north, has not expressed opposition to this disposition. Consider a resolution authorizing conve ance vacated alleyri ht-of-wa abutting Lot 2, Block , Manv a HP Ig s Add tion. No discussion. Public hearinamendment to the sign regulations to permit facia signs to cover up o o e 0Iaing wa Franklin said that because of the nature of the Sycamore Mall structure, window signs and awnings cannot be used and Sycamore Mall would like to be able to use their full building signage allowance of 15 % for facia signs. Atty. Tom Cilek, representing the Sycamore Mall, has requested the readings be waived. I ■ Informal Council Discussion July 15, 1985 Page 2 Public hearing amendment to the sign regulations of the Zoning Ordinance regarding development signs. Council reviewed the development sign design for the Northgate Corporation Park Signs. Erdahl said the City has tried to preserve the corridors that enter into Iowa City. Franklin explained that the zones can have free standing or monument signs and that the ordinance specifies that development signs which give name of the development shall be monument signs - thereby regulating the content and the style of that sign. Franklin said that Northgate wants to put a sign on a planter. In response to Baker, Franklin said that for Northgate to be able to appeal to the Board of Adjustment they would need to demonstrate the hardship of not being able to put up a sign as required. Franklin said the amendment would allow the content of the signs to not be just for a business but also for an industrial park in all commer- cial and industrial zones. Council requested more information including sizes, colors, materials of signs in the area. Consider ordinance a ng preliminaryplat/planned development housing p an or is a parT Village. Discussed as separate agenda item. Consider ordinance to amend flood hazard overlay zone to adopt revised maps and floodInsurance s u y. No discussion. Consider ordinance to amend zoning ordinance to revise notice requirements or Board of Adjustment actions. Franklin explained an administrative procedure to maintain the 15 day notice in practices being developed by staff. Cnnsider a resolution approving the final plat of Kennedy's Waterfront Beagle explained the plan is complete and legal documents have been submit- ted. Vista Park Proposal Reel 85-050, Side 2 Beagle stated that an ordinance is required for the preliminary approval of the Vista Park planned development; plans have been submitted in preliminary and final forms; and letters were received from the applicant and Court Hill Addition residents. Beagle said a meeting was held on July 19 and an alternative design was developed involving taking access off of Scott Boulevard. The plan would involve the swap between City owned land with a j triangular open space portion at the south end of the project. Staff recommended that the proposal be referred back to the Planning and Zoning Carcnission for review. Beagle stated the letter from the Court Hill Addition should be in affidavit format to nullify the original opposition. Beagle stated an extraordinary majority Council vote is needed to proceed on the i existing plan because 20% of the neighbors object. Franklin said the Traffic Engineer and City staff have not reviewed the newest proposal. In response I I Informal Council Discussion July 15, 1985 Page 3 to Erdahl, Beagle said the Court Hill Addition residents prefer that Peterson Street be vacated officially; that the vacated property be conveyed down the center line to property owners; and that there would only be a pedestrian access that would allow children to go to and from school. Franklin said the vacation of Peterson Street could be handled as part of the review and approval process of the whole development. Larry Schnittjer, MMS Con- sultants, reviewed the alternative proposal site plan and said Peterson Street right-of-way is not needed. In response to Erdahl, Jansen said vote on the ordinance should be deferred to allow P&Z review. In response to Franklin, Beagle said there is a de- veloper initiated amendment to the ordinance. Franklin said it could be referred back to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Strait said a formal request to amend the proposal should be submitted. Council agreed to refer the proposal to Planning and Zoning. Erdahl said property owners will be notified, Planning and Zoning will review the proposal and a public hearing held. Input was received from a Court Hill Addition resident in opposition to the proposed high density development and inquiring about the feasibility of an access off Scott Boulevard. Baker raised concerns about the location of housing on Lots 1 and 28 of the development. In response to Baker, Schnittjer said the Council received preliminary designs and final design plans will address location of housing on those lots. Asphalt Overlay Program Reel 85-050, Side 2 Helling stated that Council received a memo outlining the specific areas to be overlayed, including two one block segments of brick and cobblestone that will be overlayed. In response to Ambrisco, Farmer said chip seal will be used but a latex product will be added to the asphalt to make the rock adhere. Erdahl stated Council will vote on the public hearing and approve plans and specs at tomorrow's formal Council meeting. FY86 Alley Paving Assessment Project Council reviewed the special assessment alley project. Farmer presented a map and stated that there are two projects that have been unanimously accepted by the property owners. Karr noted that agenda item R7 (the resolution relating to the FY86 alley paving assessment project) requires six Council votes. Karr noted that all three alley projects have to be voted upon as part of one project by the Council. Student Senate Street Lighting Survey Reel 85-050, Side 2 Mike Skinner, Student Senator, presented a letter to the Council. In response to Erdahl, Skinner said Northside lighting project was not coordi- nated with the Student Senate lighting survey. Strait recommended that Skinner read the Northside lighting project report. Brachtel explained that lights were not installed in four or five mid -block locations in the North- side lighting project because of conflicts with mature trees. Erdahl said the Council is scheduled to look at street lighting in the next budget session and urged the Student Senate to be involved. Helling said staff will check on lighting as it relates to budget planning. Baker stated that he Informal Council Discussion July 15, 1985 Page 4 toured Iowa City and checked on the lighting locations reconmented by the Student Senate. Erdahl requested the staff develop a map indicating lights recommended by Student Senate and the City Traffic Engineer, report on the costs involved. Baker requested information about the number of people that had requested lights at the various locations and that Student Senate make a priority list. Erdahl inquired about the possibility of installing a street light at Rochester and First Avenue to enable school children to safely cross the street. Brachtel explained that the Federal Government has established a body of eight warrants that take into consideration traffic volumes, pedes- trian volumes, accidents, etc. Based on the data and when the warrants are satisfied, Brachtel then will ask Council to consider funding the street light at the CIP program. Brachtel stated that information is being col- lected for the Rochester and First Avenue intersection due to the requests handled through the City Manager's office and the results will be presented to Council. In response to Strait, Brachtel said a City, absent Federal guidelines, can install traffic lights on its own streets and FAUS funding j handled through the IDOT, may be available for traffic light installation. Civic Center Expansion Project Reel 85-053, Side 1 Melling asked Council if staff could set aside the private development option and explore another lower cost finance option involving the sale of Certifi- cates of Participation to finance a lease purchase agreement. In response to Erdahl, Vitosh explained that bond counsel is not aware of proposed tax legislation that would change Certificates of Participation and that the advantage of this alternative is that the City has full control over design and construction. Vitosh said that this alternative would not need to be presented to the voters for approval and it would take two or three months to put together the financing package. Erdahl asked if Certificates of Partici- pation are available for construction of a City -owned amenity within urban renewal. Vitosh said the Certificates could be used if the project is a major capital improvement building and the City would want to enter into a lease purchase agreement. Erdahl stated that the Council should be kept informed and suggested that a Council representative be appointed to Committee overseeing the space needs project. Strait recommended that Zuber be appointed to the Committee. Helling said staff will present Council with more information. Newspaper Vending Machines Reel 85-053, Side 1 Erdahl noted that two newspaper vending machines, Meet the Rich and Pr_ ogres - sive Student News, have been installed by the Plaza oun ain. trait sated a e newspaper vending machines issue should be referred to the new City Attorney as a high priority matter. Helling stated that staff had surveyed newspaper vendors two years ago and newspaper vendors, with the exception of one, agreed to place newspaper vending machines in a specific plaza location. Helling said an issue was raised if the City could legally control the location of the newspaper vending machines. ti.. Informal Council Discussion July 15, 1985 Page 5 Erdahl stated that by having centrally located newspaper vending machines, people will be able to find the newspapers of their choice and the freedom of the press function will be fulfilled. Erdahl suggested putting the ordinance on the agenda, debating the issue at a public hearing, apprising new City Attorney Timmins that this is a priority, and directing staff to look for a centrally located area in the mall. Helling said Timmins should review the information before the public hearing and staff will look at a location and research cost estimates. Baker stated that newspaper vending machines locations in residential areas should also be addressed. Helling noted that the new City Attorney Timmins will begin Monday. Council Agenda/Time Reel 85-053, Side 1 1. Ambrisco inquired about Berlin's July 12, 1985, memo, regarding Market Reconnaissance and Asis for Parcel 64-1a.

Zuber noted that minutes of the formal Council meeting of 6/18/85 need to be corrected with regard to the attendance of Zuber and Dickson. 6. In response to Baker, Helling said Council received a staff recommenda- tion regarding the Mary 0. Coldren Home request for funding. Melling reported that there is $12,700 in the contingency fund for the remainder of the calendar year. Baker inquired about establishing arrangements to have the City's monies returned if the home is sold. In response to Baker, Helling said he will direct the legal staff to research if an agreement could be written to that effect and if CDBG guidelines would allow such an arrangement. Council agreed to the $12,000 request. r 7. Baker inquired about the location of access on Hutchinson Street. Helling said he would give Council a map of the area. (Item (6) under Correspon- dence) I 8. Baker noted the proposed procedure re appeals and denials of peddler's permits to the City Manager's office and inquired if the Council should be notified of the appeal process. Karr stated that no procedure cur- rently exists for denial or appeal and that Council had previously I requested that staff handle matters internally. Karr noted it enabled staff to respond promptly to out-of-town peddlers rather than wait for the next scheduled Council meeting. (Item 26) I r �� I Informal Council Discussion July 15, 1985 Page 6 No. 1 Continued. Urban Renewal Parcel 64-1a.

In response to Melling, Council stated that additional information regarding the Mary 0. Coldren Home funding is not needed prior to the agreement to fund the $12,000. 12. Helling noted that there is a request to expedite the readings on the abandoned car ordinance. 13. Melling stated that Council received a memo regarding the usability and feasibility on the market revenue bonds. Melling said the Iowa Housing and Finance Authority Program seems to be a duplication of that program and therefore the recommendation is not to proceed with the market revenue bonds at this time. 14. Helling noted that Council received a memo stating that the Southwest tripper bus service has been discontinued and staff has made a recommen- dation to not make any changes with the bulk rate pass program until the overall study of the transit system is completed. In response to Strait, Helling said bus ridership statistics are being kept. Meeting adjourned at 8:30 PM.
