CITY CLERK TO ATTEST AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH THE
EMERGENCY HOUSING PROJECT, INC., FOR THE USE OF COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS TO ACQUIRE, REHABILITATE, AND
OPERATE AN EMERGENCY HOUSING FACILITY IN THE CITY OF IOWA
CITY.
Comment: Last October, the City Council authorized an
agreement with the Emergency Housing Project, Inc., to
establish an emergency shelter using $125,000 from the
City's Jobs Bill Community Development Block Grant.
Because it has taken more time than originally anticipated
to locate a suitable property in an appropriately zoned
area (a definition for "Transient Housing" had to be
included in the new Zoning Ordinance), it is necessary to
revise the project schedule.
A location has now been secured for the shelter at 331
North Gilbert Street. A revised project schedule allows
for the rehabilitation to be completed and shelter opera-
tions to begin -by August 1, 1984.
Representatives from the Emergency Housing Project will be
present at the City Council meeting to report on the status
of this project. _t404 Gp

ITEM NO. 16 - RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A CONSOLIDATED
ANNUAL CONTRIBUTIONS CONTRACT - KC -9166.
Comment: The City of Iowa City (Local Authority) author-
ized execution of an Annual Contributions Contract KC -9132
by Resolution 81-131, June 2, 1981, for Project No.
IA022003 (32 units Public Housing) and execution of an
Annual Contributions Contract No. KC -9160 by Resolution
82-246, September 28, 1982, for Project No. IA05PO22004 (20
units Public Housing). Each project required separate
depository agreements and separate accounting records and
budgets. This consolidated Annual Contributions Contract
KC -9166 combines the two projects and simplifies accounting
and budgeting procedures by requiring only one set of
accounts. Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.

Comment: The Building Board of Appeals requested a review
of the building -permit fees and during their formal meeting
suggested an increase in the minimum permit fee from $5.50
to $15.00 , and an increase of $.10 for each $100 of
construction cost over $1,000. After a review of proposed
revenues for FY84, the City Manager and staff are recom-
mending that the proposed fee increases be postponed until
later in the fiscal year and after an updated review of
actual FY84 revenues. The City Manager and staff do
recommend that the plan checking fee policy be changed by
this resolution requiring plan checking fees to be paid
before the plan check is performed. The present policy of
no c arging for demolition permits remains in effect;
however, if demolition is initiated before a permit is
issued, the proposed resolution requires a fee of $100.
These latter two changes were endorsed by the Building
Board of Appeals.

Comment: The proposed ordinance would allow existing signs

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.
