RE: Miscellaneous
1. Landfill Rates. It appears that the State is about to legislate a
$2.00 per ton surcharge (current 25 cents) on all tonnage at our
landfill. The surcharge is to increase to $5.00 per ton by 1995
and will be used for a statewide program of groundwater pollution
control. Our current per ton charge to landfill users is $8.00
(includes 25q surcharge). I doubt whether the State would give us
any credit for our work (expense) in constructing the leachage
collection system. My initial concern is the fact that our refuse
collection rates will be increasing due to the action of the State.
2. Zoning of Langenberg Farm. We have filed the paperwork with the
County for rezoning of the farm.

In November, the City Council approved Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funding in the amount of ;100 000 to assist Youth Homes, Inc. in
acquiring and rehabilitating a structure to accommodate the girls' home
and in remodeling the emergency shelter. Youth Homes explored several
potential sites for the girls' home, as well as the possibility of pur-
chasing and rehabilitating the property at 517 E. Washington Street, which
they currently rent. Youth Homes has made an offer to purchase a property
located at 19 Evans Street. Although this is not Council's stated prefer-
ence for the girls' home, Youth Homes believes that there are disadvantag-
es in remaining at the present site. Youth Homes, Inc. requests Council
consideration and approval of the purchase and rehabilitation of the 19
Evans Street property.
Staff is currently reviewing the environmental impacts of this project. At
this juncture, staff's chief concern relates to potential impacts on the
stability of the Ralston Creek bank and surrounding land resulting from
the construction of a parking lot. If given Council approval to proceed,

Re: Request by LASA for Additional Street Lighting
Recently the City Council has received a request from the Liberal Arts
Student Association's (LASA) Street Lighting Committee to install addi-
tional street lights in certain residential locations in Iowa City. The
City Council has requested a review and recommendation for each proposed
location. Two criteria were used in evaluating these locations. The
first criteria used was the City's residential street light policy which
would place a street light:
1. At the intersection of two streets;
2. At the midpoint of blocks longer than 600 feet and
3. At the end of cul-de-sacs.
In reviewing the locations proposed by the LASA it was found that at no
location was the distance between adjoining street lights or the intersec-
tion of two streets greater than 600 feet. In all instances but one the
distance between two adjacent intersections or two adjacent street lights
was approximately 400 feet, If this criteria is selected as the instal-
lation criteria then none of these 13 proposed sites would be added to the
City's lighted locations.
A second criteria to be used in evaluating the proposed light would be the
North Side Street Lighting Study (NSSLS). The majority of streets in the
North Side are. in a grid pattern based on 400 foot spacing centerline to
centerline. The NSSLS added street lights at the midpoint of the block
faces in the 400 foot grid pattern. All 13 locations proposed by the LASA
would fall into this general criteria and be candidates for lighting, A
field review of the 13 locations with representatives for Iowa -Illinois
Gas d Electric would suggest four groupings for the 13 lights.

It is anticipated that the City would install 175 -watt mercury vapor
street lights at these locations. The current monthly flat rate charge
for a 175 -watt mercury vapor street light is S9.32. If the eight street
lights recommended in groups 3 and 4 were installed, the additional
monthly cost to the City would be $73.84. If in addition to groups 3 and
4, groups 1 and 2 were installed, a total of 13 lights would be installed
at a monthly cost of $121.16.
The addition of any of the lights would be in excess of the
residential street lighting policy. In every instance, the
locations would be consistent with the NSSLS. As noted above,
groups 1 and 2 would require significant tree trimming and in one
would be against the wishes of the abutting property residents.

The eight lights listed in groups 3 and 4 would be consistent with the

MEMORANDUM
Date: April 16, 1987
To: City Council
From: Patricia Farrant, Chairperson, Human Rights Commission
Re: Recommended Amendments to Chapter 18
A committee of three Commissioners, led by Harold Weilbrenner, have worked
for the past twelve months on reviewing and revising, when considered neces-
sary, Chapter 18, the City's non-discrimination ordinance. The Assistant
City Attorney has reviewed and commented on our recommendations. The Human
Rights Commission took Mr. Brown's comments into consideration and on Novem-
ber 24, 1986, the recommended revisions were approved by a majority of the
Human Rights Commissioners. The recommendations are described below. We
urge you to accept and adopt them.
Recommendation 1:
Section 18-31(d)(7).
Currently reads: To employee on the basis of disability in those certain
instances where presence of disability is a bona fide occupational qualifica-
tion, reasonably necessary to the normal operation of a particular business
or enterprise. The bona fide
narrowly. occupational qualification shall be interpreted
Purpose: The intent of this language is to allow employers to make hiring
decisions that account for an applicant's disability. If the applicant is
disqualified because of a disability and the employer cannot reasonably
accommodate the applicant the employer can deny the applicant a job. Although
that is the intent, the language does not make sense. Therefore the Commis-
sion recommends the ordinance be revised to read exactly as the state Code
(the Iowa Civil Rights Act of 1965), specifically 601A.6(a) and 601A.6(c):
To employe on the basis of disability if the employment decision is
based upon the nature of the occupation. If a disabled person is
qualified to perform a particular occupation; by reason of training
or experience, the nature of that occupation shall not be the basis
for exception to the unfair or discriminating practices prohibited
by this section.
Recommendation 2:
Section 18-32(a).
Explanation: This section concerns who is covered by the housing section of
the Code. Currently 18-32(a) reads: "It shall be unlawful for any person
to:..." therefore if a tenant is looking for a roommate, the tenant would be
in violation ofthe ordinance if he or she made roommate decisions on the
basis of someone's race, sex, religion, etc. The Commission feels the intent
of the housing section is to prevent landlords and/or property managers from
discriminating. These individuals or corporations are for profit business
573
and must adhere to the various laws including civil rights laws that govern
the business world. Tenants obviously are not part of the business world and
the Commission feels tenants looking for roommates should be allowed to live
with whomever they feel comfortable.
Revision: In order to exempt roommates from being covered the Commission
recommends the following language replace Section 18-32(a):
It shall be an unfair or discriminatory practice for any owner, or
person acting for an owner, of rights to housing or real property,
with or without compensation, including but not limited to persons
licensed as real estate brokers or salesmen, attorneys, auctioneers,
agents or representatives by power of attorney or appointment, or
any person acting under court order, deed of trust, or will.-
Recommendation
ill.
Recommendation 3:
Section 18-17. Powers.
Explanation: Housing complaints can involve a myriad of issues including
allegations of refusal to rent, difference in treatment regarding terms and
conditions of the rental agreement, or eviction. The Commission asks that
exparte authority be added to Section 18 which allows the Commission to go
before a judge and ask that an injuction be issued to a landlord or property
manager preventing any action on a particular tenant until the complaint has
been investigated. In cases where time is of the essence, it would be advis-
able to have such power because it allows us to have a judge review our
request without involving the respondent (the landlord or property manager).
This power will be consistent with the State Code.
Revisions: We recommend the following language be added as new subsection
(9) to Section 18-17, which language is taken from 601A.5(4):
(9) To seek a temporary injunction against a respondent when it
appears that a complainant may suffer irreparable injury as a
result of an allege violation of this chapter. A temporary
injunction may only be issued exparte, if the complaint filed
with the Commission alleges discrimination in housing. In all
other cases a temporary injunction may be issued only after the
respondent has been notified and afforded the opportunity to be
heard.
Recommendation 4:
Section 18-17. Powers.
Explanation: We would like to amend our ordinance to include the power to
hold hearings, subpeona witnesses, etc. as is currently provided for in
State Code. The language we recommend is taken from 601A.5(g) and would
become new subsection (10) to Section 18-17:
(10) To hold hearings upon any complaint made against a person, an
employer, an employment agency, or a labor organization, or
the employee or members thereof, to subpeona witnesses and
compel there attendance at such hearings, to administer oaths
and take the testimony of any person under oath, and to compel
57.3 .

_.T
such person, employer, employment agency, or labor organiza-
tion, or employees or members thereof to produce for examina-
tion any books and papers relating to any matter involved in
such complaint. The Commission shall issue subpeonas for
witnesses in the same manner and for the same purposes on
behalf of the respondent upon the respondent's request. Such
hearing may be held by the Commission, by any commissithe Commiss oner, or
witness either failsiner or refusested to obey ha su peonaoissuedfby
the Commission, the Commission may petition the district court
having jurisdiction for issuance of a subpeona and the court
shall, in a proper case, issue the subpeona. Refusal to obey
such subpeona shall be subject to punishment for contempt:
Recommendation 5:
Section 18-38(a). Investigation of Complaints.
Currently reads: (a) After the filing of a complaint, a true copy thereof
shall be served within twenty (20) days by registered mail to the person
against whom the complaint is filed.
Revision: The Commission recommends the word registered be replaced with
certified. The intent of making certain the other party is apprised of the
complaint is met whether we mail the complaint registered or certified mail.
Registered mail, however, is a more expensive procedure. Notice by certified
is consistent with 9601A.15(3)(a), Code of Iowa.
Please contact the Civil Rights Specialist, Phyllis Alexander, if clarifica-
tion is needed on any of the recommendations we are asking you to accept.
Recommendation 6:
Section 18-42. Notice and Hearing.
Explanation: We would like to amend our ordinance to add the authority to.
assess the Respondent, when the losing party in a public hearing, the entire
cost of the public hearing.
(h) The losing party shall be assessed the entire cost of the public hear-
ing: The losing party will be either the Commission or the person
charged.

What is Iowa City's Tax Abatement Program for Industrial Property?
In 1985, Council adopted the Tax Abatement Program for industrial properties
on which improvements have been made. The abatement is applicable not only
to industrial property, but also to warehouses and distribution centers that
are taxed as commercial property.
The City Assessor establishes property valuations as of January 1 of each
year. Applications for tax abatement must be received by the Assessor by
February 1 of the assessment year. At that time the value of the improve-
ments subject to the tax abatement will be determined by the assessor. In the
ordinance, the word "Improvements" means 1) New buildings or new structures
constructed but not reconstruction of existing buildings and structures
unless the reconstruction "is required due to economic obsolescence." 2)
Acquisition of or improvements to machinery and equipment assessed as real
estate unless it is purchased for normal replacement or unless it is subject
to another tax exemption.
The abatement program gives partial exemption to values of property improve-
ments for computing property taxes over a five-year period as follows:
75% exemption the first year
60% exemption the second year
45% exemption the third year
30% exemption the fourth year
15% exemption the fifth year
After five years, 100% of the assessment is used to compute property taxes.
Assessments dated January 1, 1985, were the first ones eligible for the
partial exemption.
The abatement program is available to any industrial or qualified commercial
property which makes improvements as defined above. There are no other re-
quirements such as new jobs. The property owner applies directly to the City
Assessor for the abatement and does not go through the City Council for
review or approval of the abatement.

WHAT PENSION AND RETIREMENT SYSTEMS ARE PROVIDED FOR _CITY EMPLOYEES?
The City contributes to two local pension and retirement systems
(Fire and Police) and to the Iowa Public Employee Retirement System
(IPERS) which is administered by the State of Iowa. All of the
systems are contributory and substantially all permanent employees
must participate in one of the systems.
Each of the local systems is administered by a local board. The City
acts as custodian for the assets of these systems. Pension and
retirement benefits and employee contributions are mandated by Iowa
Statute. The State of Iowa contributes to the fire and police systems
to the extent necessary to fund increased benefits legislated in
recent years by the Iowa General Assembly. The employer contributions
are determined as a percentage of payroll to cover the remaining
amounts necessary to finance the systems. These rates are made
based upon an acturial cost method stipulated by Iowa statutes and
are reviewed annually by an Actuary.
IPERS is funded by amounts withheld from the participating employees
and an amount contributed by the City. These contributions are
determined by the statutes of the State. All permanent employees
of the City, not covered by one of the local retirement systems, are
members by statute of IPERS. IPERS is a multiple -employer plan
administered by the State of Iowa. These employees are also covered
by Social Security (FICA).

FORMULA FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA FIRE CONTRACT
__7
At the close of a fiscal year, the billing for the UI fire contract is
drawn up. First, the actual costs for the Fire Department of the year
just ended, are added up.
I. Operations costs which are salaries and maintenance and building
costs.
2. Pension and retirement contributions on active Fire Department person-
nel.
3. Purchases of fire apparatus (trucks) and vehicles are amortized over
10 and 5 years respectively, for the UI contract.
4. Administrative overhead, which is the prorata portion of costs for
general administration of the City (City Council, City Manager, City
Clerk, City Attorney and Finance).
The total square footage of buildings is accumulated. The square footage
of buildings is used as the basis for the contract because that is what
the Fire Department protects mostly. Information is collected from:
University of Iowa, City Assessor, Iowa City Community School District,
Northwestern
Gas and
JohnsonCounty, Generals Services Administration tfor�the ostVA iOfficecal ,�tand
City of Iowa City.
Then the total costs are divided by total square feet of buildings to
arrive at a cost per square foot for fire protection. And finally, the
cost per square foot is multiplied by the square feet of buildings owned
by the University.

MEMORANDUM
I
Date: April 3, 1987
To: City Council
From: City Manager
Re: Coralville Milldam Hydroelectric Project
The Department of Public Works staff has reviewed the Milldam project and
the following represents their recommendations.
Shive-Hattery Engineers has completed the Feasibility Report for the
Coralville Milldam Hydroelectric Project and has concluded that for annual
power purchase escalation rates of 4% and above,the project is feasible on
the basis of cost.
However, criteria other than cost/benefit should also be considered.
Other criteria include:
1. Impact on Adjacent Property. Adequate access and storage areas must
be acquired from the property adjacent to the west bank of the river.
In addition, the hydroelectric facility will obstruct the view of the
river. This could result in an adverse impact on the Iowa River Power
Company Restaurant.
2. Electrical Energy Consumption vs. Production. The City will, in 1990,
consume approximately 4.4 million KWH in electricity per year at the
Water Treatment Plant; 2 million KWH per year at the South Wastewater
Treatment Plant and 5 million KWH per year at the North Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The solid waste co -generation facility considered in
the Stanley Report dated May, 1986, will produce 11.2 million KWH per
year. Since Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric is not inclined to purchase
electrical energy and will only wheel or transfer electrical energy
produced by the City, the 3.5 million KWH of energy produced by the
Coralville Hydroelectric Project would be excessive or non -saleable
energy if the co -generation facility is constructed.
3. Recovery of Expenditures. Trial N3 in the Shive-Hattery Feasibility
Report, which appears to be the most realistic, has a break-even year
of 1998, eight years after completion of construction. The break-even
year is that year in which the total costs of operation of the hydro-
electric plant up to this date are estimated to equal the total cred-
its for the equivalent power which would be purchased from
Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric Company if the hydroelectric plant was
not constructed. The payback period for Trial N3 is 25 years. The
payback period is the time it takes to recover all costs associated
with the project. If use of the facility were discontinued at the end
.0Q
2
of the payback period, the City would neither gain nor lose finan-
cially. Any loss of production or unexpected operating or maintenance
expenses would result in a lengthening of this period.
4. Maintenance Responsibilities. The Coralville Milldam was built in
1922. Major repairs may be necessary within the 50 year life of the
hydroelectric plant. In addition, since the flow over the dam will be
eliminated or greatly reduced, the probability of ice buildup and
siltation of the river bed will increase.
5. Improved Technology. Since the plant life is 50 years, consideration
must be given to the probability of technological improvements in
electrical generation and transmission which would reduce Iowa -Illi-
nois Gas & Electric Company's costs of providing electrical energy to
the City.
Due to the criteria mentioned above, the Department of Public Works does
not recommend proceeding with the Coralville Milldam Hydroelectric Pro-
ject.
I have taken the liberty of referring a copy of this memorandum to the
Resources Conservation Committee.

April 15,1987
We are writing in connection with the proposed boundaries of the "North Side Historical
District" as owners of the house located at 800 North Van Buren Street and of the adjacent vacant
land.
house Last year, we learned that a very substantial residential development of the land north of the
lbei� rth Van Buren Street ( eenvisioned
house) was ng pby some Ioa City developers. theThe development planossible relocation of the the
construction of either two high rise (7 or 8 story) towers, or of several low rise (2 or 3 story)
buildings extending into the ravine between Brown Street and Kimball Road. The proposed
developments would probably have required a secondary access road, running along the creek in
the ravine and intersecting with Gilbert Street.
We felt that the proposed development plans were antithetical to both the spirit and the
character of the area, and would have been very intrusive on our home (which is located on
Kimball Road to the north of the Van Buren street property). We ultimately contacted both the
developers and the former owner, and arranged to purchase the Van Buren property.
As residents of Iowa City for over twenty years and as north side dwellers for almost all of
that period, we are very concerned about the preservation of the character of this area and hope that
the City and the residents can take steps to protect the integrity of the north side as a desirable
residential area. We certainly support all appropriate zoning efforts to prevent any further
deterioration of the northern part of Iowa City. [Indeed immediately after acquiring the Van

o effect property, we spent several thousand dollars ta number of repairs and to paint the exterior of
At the same time, we are concerned about the proposed boundaries for the historic area. We
understand that the boundaries have been modified several times. When the maps were circulated
earlier this year, we noted that the proposed historic district included both our property and the
adjacent home and vacant land owned by Ms, Mary Rouse. Although we were unclear about the
rti
justification for including the substantial poons of vacant land in the historical district, we felt that
the two areas were obviously similar in including older structures with substantial adjacent,
undeveloped land. Thus, es
we were very surprised when the most recent proposed boundari
indicated that all of the vacant land -- both to the east and to the west -- adjacent to the V
property has now been excluded from the proposed boundaries for than Buren
e historical district (and that
the exclusions include both vacant land and the structures thereon). [e h the west the land adjacent
to the Van Buren property to the west -- appears to include one developed and one undeveloped
parcel along the Gilbert street extension.]

Dear Council Members
CRY. CLERK
a proposal Jamto
designate I received notice of a public hearing Jan, 27 concerning
a proposal to designate an arse of the Bbrth Side as a residential historic district..
Th accompanying map shoved that several additions have been made to the proposed
and Zoning since the Proposal was last publicly considered by the Iowa City planning
end of Worth C rson Strastsion Nor. 6, 1986. These additions include my property at the
consideration last fall. which ws halt •block outside the area under
Since I cannot attend the Jan, 27 meeting, I will have to send my comment° in this
letter for your consideration. Lot as urge you to allow mors time before making
a decision on this Proposal, determining first the answers to several questions,
Including the fonmdngt
What wbe the cost of implementing this proposal and supporting the administrative
machinery sesseary to enforce it in the years ahead! Would this cost be borne
by Iowa City taxpayers, and if eo, how much would it raiseres
for now c rough tees for obtaining approval
our taxes} Or would
of the area be required to support it th
for now construction and remodeling? How much would its added regulations and
restrictions on construction discourage new development and !oxer the value of
Properties in this area?
Let ms point out that the deterioration of at least the northern part of the North
Side began some 30 years ago when city administrators allowed the mushrooming of
Black's Gaslight Village in an area on Brown Street which had been one of the
most attractive residential blocks in Iowa City, the progressive deterioration
since has been most apparent in the almost complete neglect of many lawns in this
area — I suspect chiefly an rental properties,
I would
o ldIl @ respect}ation of theet laxneest that you consider first ease stops to encourage
which have overwhelmed foundation �Plantings and brinrid of ging trees, brush and weeds
of lawns with some regularity. Whatever attention s given about at leant the mowing
this area will make only a dent in rejuvenating it without rehabilitation of
these lawns.•
Finally, sines.&' '
m,I four and one-half acres of grouts on the perimeter of the �"
proposed district has Only ons existing structure which couldeven be considered y�
for preservation, I ask that my property be removed from this proposed district.

Dear Sir or Madam=
As owner of above named property in the North Side District and in
Response to your recent miling, I Would like to let you know that I am
}
not in favor of establishing a North Side Residential Historic District,
i
25 Sears ago, I wo-ild have agreed. Now the area is a conglomerate
of very few old houses, worthwhile to be protected, apartment buildin s
rooming houses and houses which are ve g
i
value is concerned, =Y average as far as their historio
I am against setting up another burocratic enterprise.
I am against burocrats who tell us what we can do and what we cannot do.
I em against more burocrats, who must be fed by raising our taxes,
whi-h are already higher than anywhere else.
I an familiar with projects in other cities, Which Want to preserve
their history. Each building is judged by experts and the reason for
historic preservation is given. I would agree to such a procedure in
the North Side, but I do not agree to a wholesale historic district.
Sincerely, / I /
