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

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

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.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTION TAKEN
Moved by Steinbrech, seconded by Crum, that the minutes of the August 8 meeting
be approved as written. Unanimous.
Mr. J. M. Trummel updated the Commission and staff on the neighborhood meetings
on proposed Miller Park. He stated that the proposed park is the number one
priority in their community needs. 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.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Mr. Showalter opened discussion on the C.I.P. budget. Parks already in the
C.I.P. are: FY85 - Miller Park (in progress); FY86 - Aber Park; FY87 - Caroline
Park; FY88 - Foster Road Park; and after FY89 - Scott Park. 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.
Chairman Riddle stressed the need to move girls' softball from Napoleon Park,
the need for additional soccer fields, and an adult softball complex.

a 250' distance to the outfield poles, and this is a high priority item to the

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.

STAFF PRESENT: Moen
CALL TO ORDER:
Chairperson Nowysz called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF JULY 11, 1984:
Jones recommended that the second to last paragraph on page two be amended to

Vanderwoude seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
Nathan reminded Commission members of the Johnson County Historical Society's
annual meeting on September 19, 1984. Irving Weber is scheduled to speak.
Nathan also referred to the Historical Society's August 15, 1984, tour of the
first asylum for the mentally ill of Johnson County which was built in 1859
on the Johnson County Care Facility grounds. Commission members requested
that Nathan investigate other dates to tour that facility.
CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT GRANT UPDATE:
Moen stated that the Certified Local

that program. Commission members

STATUS OF IOWA JOBS COMMISSION GRANT:

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

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.

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

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.

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.
