Item No. 14 - CONSIDER RESOLUTION REVISING THE 1984 ANNUAL BUDGET FOR
PUBLIC HOUSING PROJECT NO. IA022003:
j Comment: Current regulations require adoption of the
Annual Budget and any revisions of the Budget by formal
I Resolution. The Council adopted a budget for this project
on May 10, 1983. During an inspection performed by
representatives from the Department of Housing and Urban
Development, some additional items for site improvement
were noted and approval was given to make these additions
and charge to the Operation Budget for this fiscal year.
Normally, these costs would be charged to developmental
costs, however, the final developmental costs have been
determined and it is administratively cumbersome to
correct. Primary differences between the first submission
and this revision are increases in rental income and
interest and costs of operating, specifically, betterments
and additions. That line item was increased by $5,115.00.
The project is financially healthy and the staff recommends
the adoption of this revision.

Item No. 15 -
CONSIDER RESOLUTION JkEVISING THE 1984 ANNUAL BUDGET FOR
PUBLIC HOUSING PROJECT IAO5PO22004.
Comment: Current regulations require adoption of the
Annual Budget and any revisions of the Budget by formal
Resolution. The Council adopted a budget for this project
on May 10, 1983, which covered a full 12 months of opera-
tion. This is a new project and regulations required
certain accounting procedures to be followed during the
initial operating period. For this project the Date of
Full Availability was July 30, 1983, and the End of Initial
Operating Period was September 30, 1983. This revised
budget will only cover a nine month period. Primary
changes reflect a sizeable increase in rental income and
minor increases in operating expenses. It is a healthy
project and the staff recommends adoption of the revision.

Item No. 17 -
CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN AND THE
CITY CLERK TO ATTEST AN ADDENDUM TO THE AGREEMENT WITH THE
ASSOCIATION FOR RETARDED CITIZENS OF JOHNSON COUNTY FOR THE
USE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS FOR RENOVA-
TION AND EXPANSION OF THE NELSON ADULT CENTER FOR
DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED ADULTS.
Comment: This resolution authorizes Phase II of the
renovation program for the Nelson Adult Center for
developmentally disabled adults. The City Council allo-
cated $61,580 of 1984 CDBG funds for the completion of this
project.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN AND THE
CITY CLERK TO ATTEST TO AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
IOWA CITY AND THE IOWA CITY COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR
THE PROVISION OF JOINT FUELING AND WASHING FACILITY USE.
Comment: This resolution provides for use of the City's
fueling and vehicle washing facility by the Iowa City
Community School District. Recently the School District
purchased land abutting the airport immediately across from
the City's maintenance facility. It is beneficial to the
taxpayers that there not be a duplication of facilities,
and the City can easily serve the.School District. The
City will charge an administrative fee of $20 per month,
current fuel costs, City's cost for vehicle access cards
($2/card) and a vehicle wash fee of $1.50 per vehicle. The
School District has 46 vehicles at its maintenance shop.
The terms of this agreement are acceptable to the staffs of
both the School District and the City.

Item No. 18 - CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A QUIT CLAIM
DEED CORRECTIVE OF TITLE.

Comment: At various times the City has vacated and
conveyed property at the corner of Gilbert and Harrison
streets where Boyd and Rummelhart Plumbing had its busi-
ness. Further, when Gilbert Street was widened, the City
relocated the west line of the street. In the course of
all these transactions, there were minor discrepancies in
boundary lines, and this resolution is intended to author-
ize a quit claim deed to resolve those discrepancies. The
City Engineer and the Legal Department recommend approval.
Item No. 19 -
.Y
Action:
CONSIDER A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING REVISED FEES FOR
BUILDING PERMITS, PLAN CHECKING AND DEMOLITION PERMITS.
Comment: The Building Board of Appeals requested a review
of the building permit fees and during their formal meeting
approved the enclosed resolution. The resolution reflects
an increase in the minimum permit fee from $5.50 to $15.00.
The fees for computing permits regulating construction over
$1,000 of work now read $1.10 for each $100 over $2,000.
Previously the fee was $1.00 for each $100 over $1,000. The
plan checking fee policy is changed by this resolution
requiring plan checking fees to be paid before the plan
check is performed. The present policy of no�arging for
demolition permits remains in effect. However, if demoli-
tion is initiated before a permit is issued, the resolution
requires a fee of $100.
Item No. 20 - I
PFRMTTS_
3.S
Action:
Comment: The Building Board of Appeals met and reviewed
the existing mechanical permit fees. The•Board decided not
to recommend any change in the fee structure. The resolu-
tion before Council has the same fees as are .in effect now.
The only change is to reference the Iowa City Mechanical
Code rather than the Uniform Mechanical Code.

Item No. 21 - CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 31 TO PROVIDE THAT
SIGNS ON PUBLIC PROPERTY BE LICENSED, AND FOR ELIMINATION
OF SUCH SIGNS BY JUNE 30, 2003. (FIRST CONSIDERATION)
Comment: The proposed ordinance would allow existing signs
on public property to remain for up to 20 years subject to
annual permit procedures designed to regulate the locations
and configuration of such existing signs. Right-of-way
signs far which permits are not obtained would be removable
by the City. This ordinance was originally adopted in
October 1983 but is being revised to eliminate the require-
ment for a fee to accompany the request for permission to
use public property and to reference the new Zoning
Ordinance. A copy of the proposed ordinance was attached
to the agenda of January 17, 1984.
