the ballot. Baker requested copies of the report be forwarded to the
Resources Conservation Commission. The Mayor stated if a special election
would be needed the cost would be borne by Iowa -Illinois and not the City.
Recommendations of the Committee on Community Needs noted as follows: 1)
That the Housing Painting Grant Program, originally funded through the
special "Jobs Bill" Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), be continued
this fall by using $25,000 from the present CDBG Housing Rehabilitation and /700
Weatherization Program budget. 2) That the City Council reallocate the CDBG
funds previously earmarked for Congregate Housing development and that the
funds be included in the allocations for the 1986 CDBG program year. Council
agreed it was too premature to make a decision re the second recommendation
and agreed to explore the programs more fully before reallocating the funds.
Recommendations of the Riverfront Commission noted as follows: 1) If the
Iowa Conservation Commission approves the special rules requested by Iowa
City at the ICC meeting on August 29, 1985, the Iowa City Council direct the
Riverfront Commission to notify Johnson County and the City of Coralville /70/
about the passage of the special rules and encourage them to consider
extension of similar river regulations in their jurisdictions. 2) On August
29, 1985, the Iowa Conservation Commission adopted the following special
rules on behalf of the City of Iowa City:
No person shall operate any vessel towing persons on waterskis, surf-
boards or similar devices on the Iowa River in the area bounded by the
Coralville Milldam and the Burlington Street Dam, except during regattas,
races, marine parades, tournaments or exhibitions authorized by the State
Conservation Commission to be held in such area.
In consideration of the recent boating accidents on the Iowa River in Johnson
County and Coralville, the Riverfront Commission (RFC) requests authorization
for RFC Johnson County and Coralville representatives to provide information
and encouragement to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors and the Coral-
ville City Council to enhance river safety in their jurisdictions through
special river rule adoption procedures.
Regarding earlier discussion of the Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric fran-
chise election, Councilmember Dickson questioned if the cost, incurred byI2!-2
Iowa -Illinois, of the special election could be passed back to their custom-
ers. The City Attorney replied it could be possible.
