(2) The reported rents seem high. (3) There appears to be a greater need for low-income housing for the elderly. (4) Could the percent of required units for low-income persons be more than 20%?

We will move to item #15 which is public discussion. #17 Baker: I've been hearing on TV $ reading in newspaper about some other communities in Iowa that have problems of nitrate in their drinking water. I'm just wondering what I.C. does to monitor that level and do you know what the currentlevel is or do we have any potential problems with that? City Mgr: The water is regularly monitored and the potential is that it could be high but when it starts rising we mix well water w/river water to reduce the level $ I'll ask that they give you an indication of how often they test, what is the highest level had & what the normal F, general, usually we're in good shape. Amb: I just wanted to say thank you to Prof. Thomas Charlton -tour last Sat. of the Plum Grove Farm $ I would like to encourage all the citizens of the area to partake of that rather auspicious occasion, as lie pointed out in his invitation to the public last week there have been archaeology investigations that have been carried out by Iowa Conservation, the State Historic Preservation Office F, Dept. of Anthropology of the U of I. They have discovered many rare & unusual artifacts relative to Gov. Lucas' first home. I just encourage everybody to go over during visiting hours $ take advantage of --discovery we have right in the middle of town. McD: Quite a place. ■ Page Two (2) #17 (Cont'd) Dick: Ask City Mgr. to check on parking regulations on Westwind Drive. There seems to be no parking on either side of the street. That means really no place for guests to park. I did attend CPR class that took place at the fire station. I think it was quite professionally done, well attended and very large group from the University and I did have an opportunity to see our robot that we are going to talk about shortly --showing to children --delighted, really great. City Mgr: Mr. Mayor just one item Council probably aware we advertised internally among the City employees for the position of Director of Housing & Inspection Services to replace Mr. Kucharzak. Ile undertook an assessment center $ an interview process $ we used some City staff for that.

That's all. #14 Go back to item #14 passed over earlier. McD: The City appreciates the contributions from the Eagles Club having such a very short time the few people that have seen it we have gotten all types of comments from it and we think it will be one extremely useful tool.

McD: It is indeed appreciated -thank you very much. #25 McD--Karen (Kubby) I know that we read the recommendations from CCN. Do you want to make any comments at this point? Joe Holland --to pass the resolution. Baker --timetable - June 19th P.H. $ first reading. Jansen--P.H. 19th. No other action taken that night. DlcD--probably two weeks from that. #27 McD--Reason for amendment because walkway between hotel and College Blk. building will be a public walkway $ because of the type of covering that needs to be put over that .walkway so we're amending the ordinance so that can be accomplished. 428 Baker --it is unfortunate that the rest cf the Council couldn't be here tonight because I'm sure they would all like to be here when it was passed unanimously $ I think they should all take part of the credit along w/people $ rest of the Council. McD--I think you're correct $ there were many people involved in this $ a lot of effort $ work went into this. Dick--lVe certainly had lots of comments about people being pleased w/ results of this.
