That the City Council accept the donation of a 50 foot wide strip of land along the west bank.of the Iowa River adjacent to the Sturgis Corner development with the condition that there be no obligation to maintain the site in other than its natural state: 2. That the regulations in Chapter 24; with the exception of Sec: 24-84, be submitted to the Iowa Conservation Commission for consideration and adoption as special rules applying to activities on the Iowa River; That the City Council apprise local state legislators of the problems in having the Conservation Commission responsible for regulating activities on the Iowa River within the municipal boundaries and request them to initiate amendments in state statutes to allow Iowa City and Coralville to regulate recreational activities on the Iowa River within their corporate limits. CALL -TO ORDER: Chairperson Lewis called the meeting to order at 7:35 PM: Moen introduced Patt Cain who will now be the City staffperson on the Riverfront Commission: REVIEW AND•APPROVAL•OF•MINUTES•OF•JUNE•6: 1984 Rausch moved to approve the minutes of June 6; 1984 as submitted: Boutelle seconded the motion: The motion carried unanimously: DISCUSSION•OF-STURGIS•CORNER•LAND DEVELOPMENT -PROPOSAL Franklin showed pictures of the site to the Committee and gave a brief history of the Sturgis Corner land: She said the land has not yet been offered as a "gift" to the City: She reported that the Parks and Recrea- tion Commission had recommended against accepting this land as a gift: Willis stated that Parks and Recreation was concerned that 1) the land was not "functional;" i:e: could not be used for soccer; etc: and 2) the City would be responsibiie for maintenance. Willis felt the "natural" state of the land must be endorsed: Riverfront Commission September 5; 1984 Page 2 In response to questions from Boutelle, Franklin explained that the owner of the adjacent property would not provide parking specifically for river access and that the property was in the river corridor overlay zone and; therefore, not a developable piece of land. Moen said that the land would be left "as is" if the City decided not to accept the gift. Lewis said the land should be thought of as a passive area and the Commission could research what types of native vegetation could be sown to keep the weeds out of the area. Kay Gillies of Project GREEN said some prairie grasses could be planted similar to those along the Rocky Shore Drive bikeway. Scott said he felt the gift should be accepted. Moen said if the gift was accepted; it might_ give other property owners an inclination to donate land in the future. Lewis said she felt if the Commission passed up the opportunity now, others may not come along. Oehmke made a motion that the Riverfront Commission recommend that the City accept this gift with the condition that there be no obligation to maintain the site in other than its natural state. Acceptance of this gift is consistent with the Riverfront Commission's goals as stated in the Stanley Plan and Iowa River Buffer and Trail System. Scott seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. - DISCUSSION OF•PROPOSAL-TO•MEET.WITH.U:S•:-ARMY-CORPS•OF-ENGINEERS: Moen stated that July and August were not good months to meet with the Army Corps of Engineers, but a meeting in the latter part of September for approximately two hours was acceptable to them. Lewis said news people had called her to see when a meeting was scheduled.- Cain cheduled:Cain said the Commission would meet with Mr: George Johnson and also the Commander may decide to attend the meeting. The Commission preferred a morning meeting onSeptember26; with the 27th as an alternate date. Oehmke, Lewis, Scott, Gerleman and Swedish -Moses all said they would be available. DISCUSSION-OF-REGULATING-WATER-SHOWS/EXHIBITION-ON THEIOWA RIVER: Moen stated that although Mr: Berlin had denied the recent request to allow a waterski exhibition on the Iowa River; the Conservation Commission had given permission for the show. The Conservation Commission feels the City does not have jurisdiction over such river activities. Cain explained the City Attorney's opinion about Section 24-84 of the Iowa City Code which allows the City Manager to give permission for water shows/exhibitions on the Iowa River. She said the City can request that the Conservation Commission adopt rules about what can be allowed but the Conservation Commission would still maintain authority. Willis moved that the Commission recommend to the City Council that the regulations in Chapter 24; with the exception of Sec: 24-84, be submitted to the Conservation Commission for consideration and adoption as special 1974 1 Riverfront Commission September 5, 1984 Page 3 rules for the Iowa River: Gerleman second the motion: The motion carried unanimously: The Commission omitted Sec: 24=84 in the belief that the activities included in Sec. 24-84 should not be allowed, even by special authorization. Willis moved that the Riverfront Commission recommend to the City Council that local state Legislators be apprised of this problem and requested to initiate amendments to state statutes to allow Iowa City and Coralville to regulate recreational activities on the Iowa River within their corporate limits. Boutelle seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. Willis said that there should also be a Phase III, i:e:, a mechanism for this legislation, what the regulations should be, and who would be responsible. This should be a topic for future consideration. DISCUSSION. OF. PROPOSALS. TO. CCN. FOR USE. OF. 1985-CDBG• FUNDS: Moen explained that CCN is soliciting requests for use .of the 1985 CD8G funds: The group discussed what had been submitted in previous years: Boutelle asked if the Commission had to turn in a request and Moen said that CCN wanted to make everyone -aware of the opportunity but a request did not have to be submitted. The Commission decided not to submit a request for CDBG funds for next year.

The neighborhood area to be served by the park is the largest RM44 zone in the city, and seriously needs the park. Karen Hradek, Chairperson for the neighborhood, emphasized the need to move on the appraisal of the revised area. She asked for representation by the Commis- sion at the September 20 neighborhood meeting with the CCN. Chairman Riddle stated that the Commission is in favor of the proposed park, however, the most recent appraisal was too high. The Commission, Mr. Showalter, Mrs. Hradek, and Mr. Trummel discussed the issue, touching on the safety of children crossing Benton Street. It was agreed to obtain a new appraisal and discuss the issue again at the October 10 meeting. Steve West, President, and Lee Copenhaver, Manager, gave a brief presentation on and tbudget.

Facilities already in the C.I.P. are: FY85 - Mercer Park fencing (in progress); and FY87 - new swimming pool. Mr. Showalter asked if the Commission wished to leave these items as is, or delete. Aber Park was discussed --the need to use it for soccer fields and take soccer Out of Willow Creek. Aber would be lower in cost because it is in the floodplain.

Willis asked about the additional indoor gymnasium space that was explored in FY84. Mr. Showalter answered that there didn't seem to be interest in it. It was discussed and agreed to add $10,000 to the C.I.P. budget for a gymnasium acquisition fund. An addition to the racquetball court was also discussed. Chairman Riddle said he had talked to Dave Cronin, School Board, and he had indicated that $1 million had been set aside for improvements. He feels there is a definite possibility that the money is for a swimming pool and hopes the City Council and school system can get together on this. OTHER BUSINESS Willis asked if CCN funds could be used to resurrect the S.P.I. Theatre Arts Program. Showalter was directed to prepare an application for CCN funding. Mitchell complimented Mr. Showalter and Howell on the soccer fields on Scott Boulevard.

Commission members requested that Nathan investigate other dates to tour that facility. CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT GRANT UPDATE: Moen stated that the Certified Local and that books are arriving for the that program. Commission members received to date. STATUS OF IOWA JOBS COMMISSION GRANT: Government project has been completed preservation library established under were encouraged to browse the books Moen indicated that the Iowa Jobs Commission has awarded the City'31500 for the production of a videotape of an historic district or neighborhood. Two thousand three hundred ninety-nine dollars ($2,399) had been requested from the Commission for the $4,798 activity. The proposed budget for this project, as a result, has been amended. The City, however, has increased the local project allocation such that the project budget is only reduced by $190 to $4,608. The City is currently awaiting a contract from the Jobs Commis- sion. Hayes encouraged the Historic Preservation Conmission to consider focusing on the North Side as an historic neighborhood to be videotaped. Nowysz and Hayes referred to the variety of historic and architectural details displayed /87f Historic Preservation Commission September 12, 1984 Page 2 in that neighborhood and commented on the promotional and instructional value of videotaping the North Side. Blank moved and Hayes seconded the motion to target the North Side neighborhood in the video production. The motion passed unanimously. PROPOSED SIGN ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO HISTORIC SIGNS: The Historic Preservation Commission viewed the historic sign elements of the proposed sign ordinance with favor. Pending review of this ordinance by the Planning and Zoning Commission, however, Blank moved that the Historic Preservation Commission temporarily table discussion of the proposed ordi- nance. Hayes seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously. HISTORIC PRESERVATION ORDINANCE: Hayes moved to recommend that the Council waive the second reading of the proposed amendments to the Historic Preservation Ordinance and to proceed to the third and final reading of these proposed amendments. Vanderwoude seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously. 1984 AWARDS PROGRAM: Moen reminded Commission members of the Awards Program initiated by the Commission in December, 1983, and questioned whether the Commission wanted to sponsor a similar program this year. The Commission unanimously endorsed this project and Nowysz suggested that advertising and application materials be made available as soon as possible. Nowysz commented that one purpose of this program is to stimulate preservation projects while avoiding having individuals proceed inappropriately. Hayes suggested that local attorneys and accountants be sent letters regarding tax advantages available for certified rehabilitation projects and encouraging them to have their clients contact the Historic Preservation Commission prior to undertaking preserva- tion activities. Nowysz recommended that a representative from the Chamber of Commerce be invited to the October Historic Preservation Commission meeting. 1985 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM: Moen described the purpose and objectives of the 1985 CDBG program and referred to the working relationship which has developed between the Commis- sion and the Housing Rehabilitation Program, a CDBG-funded activity. Hayes complimented the CDBG program and all that has been done to beautify the City but felt that historic preservation activities were not likely projects to be funded with CBBG monies. The Commission concurred and selected not to submit a proposal for 1985 funds. PROPOSED NORTH SIDE RESIDENTIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT: The Commission recommended that the prospect of utilizing planning students to assist North Side residents in generating an interest in having the North Side designated an historic district be investigated. /g7f Historic Preservation Commission September 12, 1984 Page 3 COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS: VanderWoude described the activities of the Urban Environment Ad Hoc Commit- tee and reminded Commission members of the Connittee's September 26, 1984, public hearing to receive public input as to sensitive features that should be protected.

MINUTES CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 17, 1984 Charter Review Commiss ceion: September 17, 1984, at 7:30 p.m. in the Confer- enDorn a e v c center. Chairperson Balmer presiding. Commission Present: Goodwin, Ringgenberg, Balmer, Matsumoto, Mintzer, Oav sen (7:40). Absent: Roberts, Baldus, Welt. Staff Present: Helling, Karr, Boyle, Smith. Ta a -r_ ep�cordedc Reel 5-84, Side 2, 253 -End; Reel 6-84, Side 1, ail, Side 2, Chairperson Balmer called the meeting -to order at 7:30 p.m, and introduced Iowa City Councilmember Larry Baker. Minutes of the July 9, 1984, meeting were approved as read. Balmer introduced,Dick Boyle, the Assistant City Attorney. Boyle noted that he has reviewed the charter and made specific comments on campaign financing and plebiscites on zoning matters in his September 13th memo. Boyle ex- plained that no State law provisions exist stating deadlines for filing election petitions before primary elections. The deadlines for filing election petitions for Statewide and legislative offices are 60 days and 55 days respectively. Boyle advised that it isn't appropriate to use 'business days' in a legislative document and would be better to extend the number of days. Karr stated that time limits can be recommended but noted the City Council may direct staff to accept petitions within shorter time frames. Karr's memo recommended adding 10-15 days. Balmer requested proposed changes be inserted into the charter for review by the Commission at the next meeting. In response to Balmer, Karr explained that a draft of proposed administrative changes to be acted upon by the City Council has been pre- pared. The Charter Review Commission needs to recommend what changes should be acted upon by the City Council and what changes should be recommended by the Charter Review Commission to go before the voters. Balmer said that Article 6, Council Oistricts, and initiative and referendum questions should be further discussed by the Charter Review Commission. Boyle recommended minor changes in the wording in charter section 6.01 and 6.04, changing 'campaign expenditures' to 'campaign contributions.' In response to Oavidsen, Boyle said that section 7.01.B(1)(k) need not be changed. Karr reported that more information for initiative and referendum petition. signature validation can be obtained from the county for a basic set up/programming fee. Commission members discussed requiring name, address, and a birthdate on the petition. Mintzer noted that requiring a social security number would be an invasion of privacy. Boyle said that if name, address, and birthdate is used, all three may be required to be correct to have a valid signature. Karr suggested requiring name and address with birthdate being optional. Boyle stated that nominating petitions only require names and address. Karr noted that working with more information would be time consuming for staff. Matsumoto suggested requiring signature, address, and date and require any other information by way of Council enacted ordinance. This would authorize the City Council to try different require- ments to make the procedure easier. Boyle said that he would draft language /879 CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 17, 1984 PAGE 2 for the charter authorizing the Council to require information for verifica= tion purposes. Ringgenberg stated that petitions need to be filled out legibly. Commission members will discuss council districts at the next Charter Review Commission meeting. Mintzer stated that the City lacks ordinances in accordance with Section 6 of the charter. Mintzer reviewed his July 13th memo and Jansen's May 23rd memo regarding Article 6: Mintzer stated there is a question as to how much candidates should disclose and recommended adding language to 6.02 requiring full campaign contribution disclosure, including in-kind gifts. Commission members discussed disclosure of dollar minimums. In response to Mintzer, Balmer said the current Section -6-.02 is reasonable as written. In response to Councilman Baker, Boyle stated that the City Code Chapter 10 $10 or more disclosure requirement has been repealed and the State Code requires re- porting contributions of $25 or more. The charter could be more restrictive than the State law: The City could reinstitute the $10 requirement: Karr noted questions about the value of garage sale items. Davidsen encouraged. the Commission to review charter Section 6 and discuss it at the next meeting. Mintzer stated a number six should be added to page three of this July 13th mono; noting the $10 versus $25 discrepancy: Also; Mintzer pointed out that the different definitions of the term 'political committee' (Mintzer's July 13th memo, page 3; number 1) includes differing dollar amounts i.e: State Code uses $250 versus old City Code using $100: Boyle referred Mintzer to Chapter 56.6, 3.8.2 of the State Code. Balmer said that the charter doesn't and shouldn't state specific dollar amounts for disclosure. Balmer said the City Council had been concerned about duplicative reporting when Chapter 10 was repealed. Mintzer stated that duplicity can be resolved as recommended in'his July 13th memo. In response to Mintzer, Boyle stated that any violations of the City Code is a misdemeanor leading to penalties of $100 or 30 days in jail: He also stated that he is unsure if there is anything in the State law that calls for the removal of a Councilmember for violation of campaign contribution disclosure: Balmer noted that he does not know of problems locally with campaign contribution disclosure and adequate disclosure provisions exist. Mintzer recommended reviewing the.original Chapter 10-22; the new ordinance, Chapter 56 of the State Code, and the charter. Davidsen inquired about the clause 'consistent with State Code' in Charter Section 6.04. Ringgenberg said the clause may not be needed: Matsumoto said the Commission should decide upon a campaign contribution disclosure policy before sanctions are decided upon. Mintzer recommended including penalties for violations of campaign contribution disclosure in the charter. Matsumoto said that the Commission could consider putting some sanctions in the charter and leaving other sanctions up to the City Council. Goodwin noted a Dail Iowan article about the Mintzer memo and requested better coordinate press releases. Copies of the article will be distributed to members prior to the next meeting. Mintzer requested demographic information (age, income; and race) about voting districts: Matsumoto said the Commission should be concerned with the effects of districting on minorities. 1971 CHARTER REVIE'a COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 17, 1984 PAGE 3 Commission members discussed scheduling public hearings: Balmer recommended announcing the dates of public hearings on the back of water bills: Karr will check on deadlines for water bill announcements: Mintzer suggested distributing announcements in the University dormitory mailboxes. Ringgenberg suggested holding two types of meetings, a roundtable informal discussion and a formal public hearing. The Commission agreed to hold the roundtable discussions and public hearings on November 12 and 26, 1984, respectively. Oavidsen and Ringgenberg will draft a letter to be sent to community organi- zations, and City Councilmembers and candidates as listed in the September 17, 1984; CRC packet. Balmer encouraged Commission members to review the list of organizations and be prepared to delete or add to the list at the next meeting. The draft letter will also be reviewed at the next meeting. Mintzer requested a copy of the charter accompany each letter. Balmer recommended advertising in the local media. Helling will contact cable TV about broadcasting the formal public hearing on the 26th: Balmer announced that the next CRC meeting is scheduled for October 1; 1984. He encouraged all CRC Commission members to attend the meeting.

The motion passed. Zehr encouraged Airport Commission members to attend the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting Monday evening. SELF -FUELING STANDARDS:Zehr stated that the FAA is giving final legal review of the serf-- —fu—eing standards. No substantive changes are expected.In the self -fueling standards, Tiffany suggested inserting "auto gas" in place of fuel; deleting the last sentence in Section 3. services because it is already in the City ordinance; and inserting "(own/lease purchase)" in Section 6. ownership. Lehr suggested changing the second sentence of Section 6. ownership to read "(noar�tial interest...)." In response to Schmeiser, Brown stated that someypt a of a right of approval of sale of a fueling facility by the Airport Commission can be incorporated in the language of a lease agreement. Brown said that "individuals" in Section 6. ownership should be changed to "persons, firms or corporations."Tiffany said that the minimum standards are similar to Wisconsin's self -fueling standards. Zehr /,F,90 MINUTES AIRPORT COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 13, 1984 PAGE 2 stated that Wisconsin requires both tanks and trucks for sel f -fuel ing. Brown recommended that the Airport Commission defer formai action on minimum standards until 'final input is received from the FAA. E.K. Jones stated that minimum standards destroys the saleability of his business and advised the Airport Commission to not allow tanks.'
