The desired location is .in front of the old Bicycle Peddler location at 15 South Dubuque.

Mayor Mary Neuhauser presiding. Council Members Present: Balmer, Neuhauser, McDonald, Lynch, Perret, Erdahl. j sent: Dickson. i Staffinembers Present: Berlin, Melling, Karr, Jansen, Vitosh, Kimble, Boothroy, Franklin, Knight, Milkman, Showalter, Lundell. Tape-recorded: Reel 83-3, Side 1, 851-1260 It was decided to change the order an the agenda and begin with the Planning and Zoning matters not previously discussed. Planning and Zoning Applications Beverly Manor Conregaate Care Facilit , 605 Greenwood Drive. Knight stated that the Plan�g —ah -d- Zoning Commission and staff recommended approval of the preliminary and final Large Scale Residential Development plan. The plan is for a 16 -unit care facility on the site of an existing nursing home. There was a variance granted on the parking, reducing the parking from 20 to 11 spaces. They meet all code requirements and set back from the R.O.W. the required distances. Knight stated that the remainder of the items on the Zoning agenda were repeat items and there was no further discussion. Council Agenda and Council Business 1. Item 6. Lundell stated that the new Iowa City Transit facility is ready for bid. The staff has had all concerns addressed including the slight problem with one of the equipment bidders. There have been no basic changes in the building plan since the original discussion. Berlin stated that the solar energy design has changed slightly to a glass wall design and there will be a balanced heating system. Lundell explained that the entire building will be bid out, excluding the exterior asphalt paving. The federal government has already approved the plan. 2. Item 16. Balmer asked if any work had been done last year towards the East Side Trunk Sewer Elimination project. Berlin will check on that. Balmer asked if the sewer contract with the University was reevaluated annually. Berlin said that the University was treated like any other customer with the same rates as anyone else. Perret asked if City staff could do the East Side Trunk Sewer Elimination project design work. Berlin stated he would report back. 3. Perret brought up the clear cutting on the R.0 W. of the Rock Island Railroad continuing through the weekend. He asked if a letter had been written and if the City Attorney had a comment on the City's power to f� 1 MICROFIL14ED BY l '.DORM"-MICR6LAB -� J CEDAR RAPIDS DES I401YE5 ,r � r f regulate their clear cutting. Neuhauser replied that a letter had been sent to Rock Island. Jansen commented that the City has little power to regulate the clear cutting as long as the railroad stays on its own property. Jansen will check to see if some sort of buffer zone can be set up along the R.O.W. 4. Balmer asked about the Westminister Street repair funds coming out of Pollution control operating budget instead of the sewer fund. Berlin replied that it is appropriate, based on previous Council decisions. 5. Balmer asked about the Systems Unlimited, Inc. memo regarding their qualifying for COBG funding. Milkman stated that the funds are only available for construction in a revitalization area such as the 5403 area; for use to acquire a site and make site improvements; or to purchase an existing structure and adapt it. 6. Neuhauser stated that she would delay a decision on the construction -of T - hangars at the airport until a greater demand can be shown. 7. Neuhauser is preparing' to screen candidates for City Clerk and return to the Council with three prospects. She stated the City Clerk should be a recordkeeper and not a minute taker. The minutes for informal meetings needn't be as elaborate as formal meeting minutes and should only indicate the direction and summary of the meeting. Lynch noted that Cedar Rapids uses very brief minutes. The discussion noted the full range of possibilities from no minutes written to explicit, detailed minutes. The Council agreed to look further into the issue, focusing on the cost of minutes and the ability of the Clerk to work on recordkeeping. The Clerk still must approve all minutes. Neuhauser expressed concern about the residency requirement for the new City Clerk. 8. Item 18. Balmer asked if the Council and staff fully examined ways to reduce the budget. Neuhauser commented that one area that would help Increase the year-end balance would be to switch money from the parking fund to the general for the Recreation Center parking lot. In previous years, a higher balance was maintained to guard against the effects of high inflation. Now. the budget is under better control because of better projections and two-year union contracts. The concern expressed is that in the future a higher year-end balance might be required to guarantee a reasonable cash flow. In the current budget there aren't places to reduce money without cutting into programs. i. Item 13a. There was a consensus to reappoint Nancy Jordison to fill the unexpired term of Edward R. Raupp. Erdahl praised the Housing Market Analysis as a great job. He noted that the post-war baby boom has affected the sector of building. Neuhauser pointed out that ramifications to the Zoning Ordinance has been discussed with regard to Analysis recommendations. 10. Milkman emphasized that a rental rehabilitation program is an interest of the CCN, especially while interest rates are low. The aim is getting decent rental property available for people who need it. She also noted that the mean rent figures are not particularly accurate in the Analysis and will be changed appropriately. MICROFILMED BY i_ -DORM-M IC RISLA9 CEDAR RAPIDS •DES i401HE5 i 3 11. Neuhauser noted that it would be unwise to reconstruct Dubuque Street from Iowa Avenue to Park Road when the State is planning major work on Highway 1 because of traffic routing problems.

PARKING CBD Berl n stated that the original parking ramp plans did not account for the design of the two additional levels or the amount of time for the construction.

Often they live alone and cannot manage by themselves, and by sharing some of the responsibilities for care, the family is able I to help the older individual remain independent. Generally its basic I ' goals are to provide social contacts, enrichment experiences, and to lighten the burden for younger families or for children who must work. Day-care furnishes activities for isolated -elderly, some transportation for travel to medical clinics, dentists, and doctors offices, and j recreational therapists. A center may also offer health services on- call for people who may need them. The day-care center approach is to ensure that people have pleasant surroundings where they can carry on certain activities commensurate with their physical needs, social functions, and conditions. The Gerontology Projects' Adult Day Program is one excellent example of this day-care concept. It is offering many of the require- ments that are needed in making a day -program functional. However, what it needs most is a "home". The Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center F would be an ideal location for this program. The opportunities offered by the Senior Center, plus the services available through the agencies housed in the center, make it an ideal location for coordinating this type of community service. Iowa City can be proud of its many fine i services for senior citizens, but it can be prouder by showing its support for those who are less fortunate and who do not have the ability to take advantage of what this community has to offer them. 0 The ESA works very closely with the ADP and believes it would be complimented by having this service or program available on a first- hand basis to its current and future clients. i I Sincerely, Lucy Luxenburg LL/sh r 141CROFILMED BY 'JOR M -MIC ROLA B` ' CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES i EXECUTIVE SESSION MA RC.
