The memorandum indicates that in the 17 months since the City has had a self-funded type plan there have been savings of approximately $61,000. At this time we are projecting a 6% increase in the chargeback rate. The memorandum also indicates that this summer Anne Carroll and the Finance Department will begin working with AFSCME to explore other incentives which will help contain future health insurance costs. It appears that the decision to change the method of funding the City's health insurance program was the correct decision. If you have any questions, please contact me. tp/sp i r MICROFILMED BY -� 11_ "'J0RM-"MICR6L:A13_' CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOIRES FAM J I I� City of Iowa Cit. MEMORANDUM Date: May 5, 1983 To: Neal Berlin, City Manager �}/1 From: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance ` Re: Proposed Increase in Health Insurance Chargeback Rate The City's health insurance was converted to a Self -Funded Plan on December 1, 1981. This change affected only the method of payment for insurance costs; it in no way affected coverage levels for the employees. For the basic coverage, instead of monthly premiums, the City reimburses BC/BS for the actual claims paid in the prior month plus an administrative fee which is a set percentage of the claims amount. Major medical coverage is not being self-funded and therefore is community rated and is paid for based upon a monthly premium amount. As you recall Anne Carroll, you and I investigated the alternative funding method when we were notified in October, 1981, that the City's health insurance premiums were to increase by 20% on December 1, 1981. A study of the self -funding method showed that if the City's claims remained at their normal low level., this method had the potential for cost savings. The attached financial analysis shows that the City has saved approximately $61,000 in insurance costs in the past 17 months by converting its health insurance to the self-funded plan. A detailed explanation of this savings follows. The key to self -funding is to set up a reserve account and to establish a monthly chargeback rate for departments similar to a monthly premium. The monthly chargebacks are deposited into the reserve account and claims payment plus the major medical premium is paid monthly from that reserve account. The balance of the reserve is kept invested and all interest earned is deposited into the reserve. The fund balance in the reserve should be sufficient at all times to cover a minimum of 2h months worth of claims as that is the approximate lag time in the payment of claims. Therefore when projecting costs for the next year's coverage, the monthly chargebacks plus the reserve balance must be sufficient to provide coverage for the next twelve months plus the 2h months of claims lag. Should the plan be terminated, the City would be responsible for paying all claims filed during the coverage period and must have the funds available to pay for the lag in claims (the estimated 2h months worth of claims). Annually BC/BS estimates total claims costs for the group based upon the group's past actual claims cost and projected inflationary increases in medical costs. This total estimated cost is then used to provide a monthly chargeback rate for the City's use. The administrative fee paid BC/BS includes the cost of an aggregate annual stop -loss insurance that caps the City's liability at 120% of the annual estimated claims cost. This stop -loss provides a safeguard should the 1 i MICROERMED BY EORMDCROLA B fIDES _ MOINES r 9.3 a V1 I F 1 City, in any one year, experience a large number of claims or large dollar claims. Once claims reach the 120% stop -loss figure, the City would continue to pay the administrative fee but would not be liable for claims cost. The original chargeback rate, which was based upon BC/BS's claims projec- tions when the City converted to the self-funded plan (12-1-81), has been used since that time. Or, for a period of 17 months the City has not found it necessary to increase its health insurance chargeback rates because the fund balance in the reserve and the revenue from that chargeback rate were sufficient to pay claims cost, to cover a 12-1-82 increase in the Major Medical monthly premium, and to provide for a sufficient fund balance in the reserve. BC/BS recommended a 10A increase in the chargeback rate as of December 1, 1982. As stated above, the balance in the reserve was sufficient enough to delay such an increase in the chargeback for several months. After evaluating claims costs and the current size of the reserve balance, I now recommend that the chargeback rate be increased by 6% effective May 1, 1983. This increase should be sufficient to fund claims cost through the end of calendar year 1983, as long as those claims cost do not show an unusually large increase. More specifically, the 6% increase in addition to the available reserve balance should be sufficient to cover a 13% increase in claims cost in the next twelve months or a 21 percent increase in the next six months. Claims costs are monitored monthly and the chargeback rate can be increased whenever necessary should those claims increase faster than anticipated. As long as we tie the rate increase to our actual cost, I feel there is no need to increase the rate prematurely or at a faster rate than is needed; to do so would only increase the reserve balance unnecessarily. It should be noted that this philosophy does not build up a large reserve balance to provide for a sudden dramatic increase in claims cost. However, past actual costs do not show such fluctuations in costs for our group and as such there is nothing to indicate that we should be overly cautious in working to increase that reserve balance. In addition, staff will be working with the AFSCME Union this summer on identifying incentives which would help to contain future health insurance costs. The attached exhibits provide more detail on monthly claims cost, the status of the reserve fund, the cost savings to date, and premium/chargeback rates. Exhibit I shows the monthly cost since conver- sion to the self-funded plan on 12-1-81. The claims cost is based upon the actual claims paid by BC/BS in the prior month. This chart illustrates very clearly the lag in claims payments. In fact, we were five months into the plan before the claims processing started to catch up as shown by the large April, 1982, amount. It also shows the possible fluctuation in claims paid from month to month. 1 I4ICROFILMED By ; "JORM MICROLAB- CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES i ` i I� 3 The average monthly cost for the first twelve months, through November, 1982, was $36,960 as compared to an average monthly cost of $34,919 for the entire 17 -month period. This shows a decrease in the average monthly cost in spite of the substantial increase effective 12-1-82 in the major medical premium rate. Although we do not have enough historical data to identify trends in claims costs during the year, it is apparent that we are not currently seeing any significant increase in those monthly costs. Exhibit II provides the financial status of the Health Insurance Reserve as of 4-30-83. It shows that we have earned $8,500 on the investment of the reserve balance. In other words, we have benefitted from being able to hold onto our funds and keep them invested until needed for actual claims cost as opposed to the insurance company being able to. I The 4-30-83 balance is a "projected" since our April 30 financial reports are not yet finalized. The balance needed to cover the claims lag is $77,500 which results in an excess balance of $28,142 at this time. Exhibit III illustrates the elements of the cost savings to -date from converting to a self-funded plan. First, approximately $22,300 was saved because the monthly chargebacks under the self-funded plan were lower than the monthly premium cost would have been under the old plan. The excess reserve balance as of 4-30-83 amounts to $28,142 which can also be considered a cost savings. Normally we experience an increase in our insurance rates on each December 1, but because the chargeback rate generated more than what was needed to cover actual monthly insurance costs as of December 1, 1982, the balance available in the reserve at that time was sufficient to delay the rate increase until the following May 1. This delay in the increase of the rate has saved the City approximately $10,300. The above three elements account for the total cost savings to date of close to $61,000. Exhibit IV provides the monthly premium/chargeback rates for both Single and Family Coverages for the past six years. It shows that the City experienced a large rate increase in rates in 1979 and again in 1981. Other years were comparably much smaller and probably below average in comparison with other groups. The note with the double asterisks at the bottom of the page shows what the 12-1-81 premium rate would have been under the old plan; that was approximately 5% higher than the chargeback rate we actually used under the new self-funded plan. I request your approval of the 6% rate increase effective May 1, 1983. Since we have not yet done the May chargebacks, there is still time to make the rate change in May. Please contact me should you have any questions or need any additional information. cc: Anne Carroll 93 a MICROFILMED BY " CORM "MIC R#CA 6 CEDAR RAPIDS •DES 11018E5 I J MONTHLY HEALTH INSURANCE COSTS DECEMBER, 1981 TO APRIL 1983 MAJOR CLAIMS COST MEDICAL & ADMINIS- December 1981 3,385 January 1982 3,385 February 1982 3,550 March 1982 3,597 April 1982 3,602 May 1982 3,611 June 1982 3,612 July 1982 3,602 August 1982 3,574 September 1982 3,613 October 1982 3,616 November 1982 3,635 SUBTOTAL FIRST 12 MOS. 42,782 December 1982 4,898 January 1983 4,600 February 1983 4,591 March 1983 4,591 April 1983 4,628 TOTAL FIRST 17 MOS. 66,090 10,833 16,739 50,292 25,219 43,988 35,353 24,885 15,727 26,372 67,474 316,882 23,891 25,416 21,920 30,243 30,426 448,778 EXHIBIT I 3,385 3,385 14,383 20,336 53,894 28,830 47,600 38,955 28,459 19,340 29,988 71,109 359,664 28,789 30,016 26,511 34,834 35,054 514,868 14ICROFIL14ED BY !I I1 -DORM--MICR6UAE3*- CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES AVERAGE MONTHLY 36,960 34,919 JI -" EXHIBIT II HEALTH INSURANCE RESERVE FOR THE SEVENTEEN MONTHS ENDING 04-30-83 7x10112&I Monthly Chargebacks $ 611,992 Interest Income 81518 DISBURSEMENTS: Major Medical Premiums $ 66,090 Claims Costs & Administrative Fees 448,778 PROJECTED 04-30-83 BALANCE $ 620,510 514,868 ¢ 105,642 IdICROF1U1E0 BY "- JORM -MICR6LAB-' CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MDINES $ 620,510 514,868 ¢ 105,642 SELF-FUNDED HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN COST SAVINGS TO -DATE 01-01-81 THROUGH 04-30-83 MONTHLY CAHRGEBACKS (11 MONTHS ENDING 04-30-83): Actual Chargebacks $ 514,868 Estimated Premium Cost Under Old Plan 537,254 EXCESS RESERVE BALANCE: Estimated 04-30-83 $ 105,642 Required Balance for Claims Lag 77,500 SAVINGS FROM DELAYING CHARGEBACK RATE INCREASE: Actual Chargebacks (12/82 - 04/83) $ 155,204 Estimated Chargeback with Increase 165,551 TOTAL SAVINGS j 141CROFILI•IED BY -` �. -DORM -MIC ROCA9 CEDAR RAPIDS •DES 140 LIES �.. .

What are the alternatives for reconstructing the sidewalk on the north side of 01d Capitol Center? Any changes in the sidewalk will be expensive and based on our observations, there are other City projects which deserve funding before this change. Also we do not believe that the problem is severe enough to justify the expense of reconstruction. The alternatives are: a) Remove eastbound private auto traffic from the area. This should allow the sidewalk to be widened an additional five feet without disturbing bus operations. b) Quit using island for bus boarding; move eastbound traffic over against island and widen sidewalk as necessary. Abandoning the island will be a "moral" defeat for the transit interchange, and will eliminate two westbound bus bays. This could be accommodated at the present time but would really limit future expansion potential. c) Remove the island and reconstruct it five feet north of its present, location. Widen sidewalk five feet. This will be very expensive, but will cause the least disruption to present transit and traffic operations. d) Remove island altogether; widen sidewalk about 25 feet; place shelters, benches, trees, etc. in plaza area created by the extremely wide sidewalk. This will be the most —� expensive alternative, and will cause future problems if expansion is desired. However, the shelters on the island could be salvaged, and the waiting area for transit patrons in front of "Gifted" could be maximized. 8. The drain holes in the bike rack area do not work. The removal of a couple of bricks and the construction of 'a small concrete channel to the curb will correct the problem. Thocn rhannpB will be made. i� i 141CROFILMED OY L 'DORM MCR; 4ES 1 % CEDAR RAPIDS DCS F101, 93/ r City of Iowa CI' MEMORANDUM Date: January 29, 1981 To: City Council From: City\u4er Re: Washington Street Transit Interchange Approximately a year and one-half ago, when plans for the Washington Street Transit Interchange were being finalized, the City Council decided that traffic should be permitted in the eastbound direction, at least on a trial basis. Although the original concept called for the area to be used exclusively by buses, in the interest of providing better auto access through the downtown area, general traffic was permitted. Now that the Downtown Transit Interchange has opened, the transit system is experiencing some serious problems in its operation. Virtually all of these difficulties stem from the basic incompatibility of auto traffic in an area that was designed for transit vehicles and pedestrians. Some of the problems that have been encountered already include: 1. Pedestrian Safety. Passengers boarding and alighting from buses cross the street at several mid -block locations in accordance with the planned use. Bus riders, seeing seven or more buses on both sides and in the center of the street, appear to forget that they are crossing the street against through traffic. Drivers have already reported more than one "close call" which resulted from a passenger getting off the bus and immediately crossing the street, right into the path of an oncoming automobile. 2. Deliveries Bein Made in the Bus Area. When commercial or other Fr vehicles use the curb lang at the entrance to the Mall for deliveries or other short-term parking, buses have no choice but to "double-park" in the traveled lane. When this happens either west- bound traffic is blocked completely or the buses are forced to maneuver in very close quarters. The conflict between buses and delivery vehicles has caused considerable hostility between delivery persons, bus operators, and inconvenienced drivers, and we have already experienced two minor collisions as buses jockeyed around illegally parked vehicles. While this problem will decrease as the mall stores are completed, it will remain somewhat of a problem as long as Washington Street is open to general traffic. 3. Conflict with Eastbound Traffic Alona the Bus Stop Island. Each day the transit staff has put out traffic control cones to keep east- bound vehicles from occupying the lane immediately south of the bus stop island. The cones are a makeshift solution, but without them we have found that eastbound traffic wishing to turn left onto Clinton Street will occupy the lane next to the island and keep our west- bound buses from reaching their proper bus stops. This occurs despite the double yellow line marking. A more permanent type of barrier might resolve the problem with left -turning vehicles, but any barrier will seriously impede the maneuverability of the buses as they enter and leave their designated spots. 9.a/ f 7 MICROFILMED BY "JOR M _MIC R6LA9 1 CEDAR RAPIDS DCS MOINES � Buses Merging with Eastbound Traffic. When a queue of vehicles has developed east -bound at the Clinton Street traffic signal, it is very difficult for buses to re-enter the traffic flow. Because the center lane west of Clinton Street aligns with the right-hand lane east of the intersection, buses in the curb lane by the Old Capitol Center have nowhere to go once they cross the intersection. Although no sideswipe collisions have yet been reported, a dangerous situation nonetheless exists. 5. Difficulty of Approaching the Island Bus Stop. The presence of vehicles waiting for the traffic signal precludes buses south -bound on Clinton Street from turning into the island stop, as the buses cannot swing wide enough to make the turn. This means only buses entering downtown from the south can use the island bus stop and its shelters, which reduces their effectiveness. 6. Ina de uate Sidewalk b Old Ca itol Center. The sidewalk along the 1 north side of the Mall south side of Washington Street) is much too narrow. The construction area was constricted by the fact that the north curbline could not be moved. Several years ago the Pentacrest, to the curbline, was designated a historic site. The sidewalk along the Mall is only eight feet wide, and this space is further constricted by benches, trees and trash cans. The elimination of auto traffic would increase the availability of the sidewalk for bus patrons as autos would not be loading and unloading passengers. In addition to the foregoing, the opening of Washington Street to east- bound traffic has in effect created an unplanned east -bound arterial. The traffic plan for downtown Iowa City did not envision this as through traffic east and west was to use the Jefferson -Market couplet or Burlington Street. The removal of auto traffic from the Transit Interchange will not only bring downtown traffic patterns into closer conformance with the original plan, but by doing so may well reduce some of the congestion problems that have persisted east of Clinton Street. The decision that traffic be allowed east -bound on Washington Street was made in the interest of improving traffic circulation at a time when Clinton Street was constricted by construction and the remaining modulars. Now that Clinton Street has been completely rebuilt four lanes wide, it would seem somewhat less essential that Washington Street be open to east -bound auto traffic. Furthermore, the Transit Interchange concept developedwas Althoughphysically the traffic may b fit, functionally t does Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council rescind its earlier decision to permit traffic east -bound through the Transit Interchange. The City Manager, the Transit Manager, the Traffic Engineer and the Transportation Planner concur in this recommendation. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), which represents the bus drivers, also supports this position, as per the attached letter. bj3/7-9 1r' nlCRorILMED BY 1.

Lundell Transportation Planner I Johnson County Council of Governments 410 E. Washington Street I Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mr. Lundell: Regarding your January 12 letter to Mr. Wayne Johnson inviting a j representative of the Transit Drivers' Union to participate in the dedication ceremony of Iowa City's new transit interchange, we have decided not to send a representative on January 20. We are boycotting this ceremony to protest what we believe to be a major design flaw in the interchange. The design flaw we would like to call your attention to is the movement of vehicular traffic eastbound in a one lane, one block area bordered by Capital and Clinton Streets. iWe feel this is an unsafe and unworkable situation for several reasons. First and foremost is the potential danger pedestrians face in crossing the street in the one block area. This includes bus riders transferring I to other busses, as well as shoppers, students, and other persons in the area. With busses sitting stationary in their downtown stops, pedestrians seem to get a false sense that there is no other traffic movement in the area. And cars coming through on the one lane are blind to pedestrians stepping out from between the busses. Several close calls have been observed. Another potential accident situation are busses merging left from their downtown stops on the south side of the street into the moving lane of traffic. As of this date at least one such accident has occured. Futhermore, leaving the one eastbound lane open to all traffic creates much congestion and confusion in the interchange area that impedes schedule performance. , \•tc\c (n the pwblksctvfce 93/ 1' 111CROFILMED BY ---JORM---MIC ROIL AB- ..

I I It appears there are three areas of major concern: I (1) The total cost of the hotel is too high; 1 (2) The ratio of UDAG money being requested to the developer's equity is not particularly acceptable; and j (3) Financing is not in place. In addition, there were approximately another ten problematical areas which are for the most part related to the above -listed issues. After this meeting, the attached list was drawn up delegating responsibilities ( for the responses to the major and minor concerns. After some discussion, it was agreed that the "solution" to the major concerns will occur by: (1) Decreasing the actual costs and better justification of the costs of the hotel; I (2) Amending the UDAG amount to a lesser amount (about 15% of the total cost ) and increasing developer equity to $2.5-$3 million (approximately 20-25% oTtotal costs); and (3) Obtaining financial letters of commitment with each and all of the lenders' requirements satisfied. The developer has been informed the design has to be finalized within the next week so final costs can be determined. He is also aware that a meeting of the Hotel Steering Committee should be held in the very near.future for discussion of the design changes and of exterior materials and their costs.

This area includes the land located south of Melrose Avenue and generally west of Sunset Street to the north and the municipal airport to the south. The long-range plan reflects an ultimate land use pattern which, at this time, seems best able to serve the future needs of a growing Iowa City. For over ten years, extensive residential development has been occurring on the west side. While much of this development has been spurred by the expansion of employment at University Hospitals, area growth is made possible by available sewer service capacity. Plans for the construction of Freeway 218 along the Iowa Department of Transportation a!ignment with interchanges at Melrose Avenue and Highway 1, the subsequent reconstruction of Highway 1 West as a four -lane limited access facility, the realignment of Mormon Trek Boulevard, and the Willow Creek sewer extension to the Johnson County Home are creating both residential and commercial development pressures in the study area. Due to the imminent impacts of these developments, a reassessment of land uses in the arisen and tsuggest hwest rboth long- and short-range lend usesea is needd. This sudy wiaddres the issues which have plans for the area. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The 1978 Comprehensive Plan has envisioned development in the Southwest Area as primarily in tow- to medium -density residential use, with a large portion of land in the far west outside the Limits of Urban Development line and in agricultural use. In anticipation of the Freeway 218/Highway 1 interchange, large areas have been designated as Highway and Land Consumptive Commercial. The Development Sequence of the 1978 Plan indicates Phase I, II, and III development for only part of the Southwest Area. This study will consider the continued ateness of proposals for the Southwest rlthese Areaas part of theiv Comprehense PI n update ment ISSUES Sewer Availability The Willow Creek trunk sewer extension to the Johnson County Home has increased development opportunities in the study area. An 18" sewer line has been extended; however, this potential capacity is limited by a 10" trunk line at the point of hook-up creating a bottleneck situation which effectively limits the sewerage capacity at the present time. Although the sewerage from approximately 438 acres of undeveloped land could naturally drain to the 10" trunk line, this line has the ability to accommodate development at only two people per acre for this entire area due to current constraints. Two policies which determine the development sequence for any area of the City are: 1) maintaining compact and contiguous growth and 2) maximizing efficiency in the provision of municipal services. If these considerations } I MICROFIL14ED BY I l I LAB JORM MICRO CEDAR RAPIDS • DES I.1019C5 93t� J SW -2 are taken into account, the development of the remaining capacity in the 10" line is most desirable in the area east of Freeway 218. Approximately 95 developable acres of land lie east of the Freeway 218 right-of-way and within the 10" trunk sewer service area. Taking the balance of the capacity of the 10" line into consideration, these 95 acres can develop at 11 people per acre. Development can occur at only two people per acre if land both east and west of Freeway 218 is developed. Consequently, development could be reasonably limited to the area east of the Freeway 218 right-of-way. Unfortunately, the Hunter's Run Subdivision, located to the west of Freeway 218, has already received preliminary approval. Any future requests for subdivision approval west of 218 should be carefully evaluated in terms of the limited capacity available. This should not, however, negate the original goals of compact and contiguous growth. Freeway 218 Interchanges The location of proposed Freeway 218.stirred controversy for nearly two decades prior to the April 1980 agreement between the City of Iowa City and the Iowa Department of Transportation ([DOT). Freeway 218 will now be built on the alignment originally designated by IDOT. At one time, Iowa City's preferred alignment for Freeway 218 was approximately one mile southwest of IDOT's alignment. In the Trafficways Report prepared in April 1977, as part of the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan, several negative "urban development" implications which could be expected from the IDOT alignment for Freeway 218 were enumerated. One of those implications identified commercial development pressure due to the Freeway's interchange with Highway 1 as a potential problem. With revised plans including a second interchange at Melrose Avenue, attention must be given to both interchanges. Melrose Avenue Interchange Residential development continues to be encouraged in the area surrounding the Melrose interchange in accord with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendation. While access to the freeway makes commercial development attractive, both commercial and industrial uses have been discouraged in order to direct this development to the Highway 1 interchange. The City may not be able to support full development of commercial and industrial land uses at both interchanges. And since ample, sewerable land is available at the Highway 1 interchange for these more intensive land uses, it is the recommended location for commercial and industrial growth. Implementation of this land use recommendation may be difficult, however, since portions of the land surrounding the interchange are owned by Johnson County as part of the County Home. A joint agreement has been proposed to restrict the sale and re -use of that land for uses other than the current County uses or low-density rural residential. b. Highway 1 Interchange Residential development is discouraged in this general area due to its :. location near the airport and its proximity to two main traffic I a 14ICROFIL14ED 6Y I. "JORM MICROLA j CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 912 5�1 f� J SW -3 facilities. Commercial and industrial uses are better suited to this location. Presently, several commercial establishments are located in the NE quadrant of the Freeway 218/Highway 1 interchange and the realignment of Mormon Trek Boulevard provides access to this area from the north while providing a frontage road for the freeway. With the availability of sewer service, the NE quadrant is a logical choice for controlled commercial development. The NW and SW quadrants are located within the County's jurisdiction and are not considered appropriate for annexation because of the cost prohibitive nature of extending sewer service to the area. It is recommended that a joint City -County agreement be negotiated in order to control land use in these quadrants of the interchange. The short-range plan suggests the SE quadrant be zoned agricultural to reflect its present use and the fact that the area is not presently sewered. The long-range plan for this area indicates an industrial classification that could be developed as sewer service is extended or the demand for industrial uses is felt. It is, therefore, the recommendation of this report that commercial and industrial development be encouraged at the Highway 1 interchange leaving the land surrounding the Melrose Avenue interchange in residential use. iThis recommendation is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and reflects the impact Freeway 218 will have on the .study area. 3. Annexation i In order to control development, especially to the east of Freeway 218, annexation of a rather large tract of land is recommended. This will enable zoning of the Highway 1 interchange for commercial and industrial use, thereby limiting residential use in the airport's flight path. A key purpose of annexation is to promote orderly urban growth. Interde- pendence between a developing community and its undeveloped fringe areas is obvious. Although boundary lines are no guarantee against substandard development, the extension of these boundaries through annexation brings the fringe areas within the City and widens the application of coordinated development practices. The area proposed for annexation meets the general criteria for annexation stated in the 1978 Comprehensive Plan: 1) the area is contiguous to the present city limits; 2) the area has a natural "unity" with the City because of the existing extension of major streets to and through the area and the availability of sewer service presently or in the future with minimal capital improvement costs; 3) numerous municipal services will be readily available to the area without substantial capital outlay for the provision of these services. 141CROFILIIED B'. 1. J__JORMM1cR6L_Ak]EJ8CEDAR RADIOSDES MOV ! � C i r SW -4 By annexing this crucial area on the Southwest side, the City has the ability to direct and stage orderly and compatible growth patterns more successfully and with greater certainty. 4. De -annexation I i A city should annex only that area of land which can be provided municipal services (e.g., city water and sewer) within a reasonable time. With the recommendation to annex a large portion of potentially developable land, the City should assess whether there are tracts of land in the study area which are not developable in the foreseeable future and should possibly be de -annexed. One area has been identified where .the provision of utilities is unlikely. The area of land bordered on the north by Rohret Road and the south by the city boundary line is located in a watershed which drains to an area outside of the present city limits. To extend utility service to this area would not only be expensive, but would also open up development of a large area outside of the city limits. I j De -annexation of all but a 300 foot wide strip fronting Rohret Road should be considered. This proposed de -annexation would have the desired effect of directing frontage development along Rohret Road while limiting a cost prohibitive municipal service commitment to that area. 5. Schools { The analysis carried out for this study indicates both higher potential total population and elementary school population in the Southwest Area than were predicted by the Comprehensive Plan. A number of factors could influence these calculations, including the rate of residential growth, family size, housing type, and the effect of growth in unincorporated J areas. The Comprehensive Plan's recommendation of two elementary school sites is not consistent with School Board plans. Because elementary school enroll- ment in the district as a whole is seen as declining, no new construction is anticipated. As the need for additional elementary school facilities in the Southwest Area develops, students would be assigned to alternate elementary schools to maintain the viability of existing facilities and to Increase overall operational efficiency within the Iowa City school system. While such a scheme conforms with planned efficiency, it would depart from the Comprehensive Plan's concept of the neighborhood school. No elementary school site will be designated for the Southwest Area in recognition of the School Board's policy. By not committing the City to a school site, residential patterns will not be encouraged based on a future unknown service. 6. Green Space Open green space should continue to be encouraged along Willow Creek and its tributaries. This recommendation both encourages green space and )ernes toJimitdeyelopment in the flood plain. lax i 141CROFILMED By -" JORM 'MICROLA B- - CEDAR RAPIDS • DES 14019ES f J ` I ! l SW -5 In the area proposed for annexation east of 218 and northwest of Highway 1, an open space buffer along natural features is suggested to separate residential and Highway Commercial uses. 7. Proposed Land Use Two maps have been prepared which identify both the long-range and short-range land use patterns for the Southwest Area. The long-range plan reflects the ultimate desired land use pattern for the area. The long- range view will help guide development, allowing bath public and private interests to anticipate the likely growth patterns. The land use pattern recommended in the short-range plan identifies the development anticipated in the next 15 years. All of the area shown for residential and commercial development in the short-range may develop during Phase 1 (1983-88). The density of residential use proposed reflects i a predominance of single-family residential use with the possibility of some duplex development; development between the West High property and i Mormon Trek Boulevard is seen as developing at a higher density with townhouses, condominiums, and low-density multi -family housing. Areas j designated agricultural reflect the current use pattern and should be designated for more intensive use in the long range as growth pressures develop and/or municipal services can be efficiently provided. i RECOMMENDATIONS I. With the exception of the already platted Hunter's Run Subdivision, residential development should be confined to areas east of Freeway 218 to promote efficient, compact and contiguous growth. 2. An area of land generally east of the Freeway 218 and Highway I interchange and extending north to the city boundary line should be annexed in order to focus commercial and industrial development at this interchange. 3. Commercial development pressure should be resisted at the Melrose Avenue interchange with Freeway 218, and an agreement should be reached with the County to restrict sale of their land at that interchange for uses other than residential. I 4. Deannexation of land which will require future commitments of cost prohibitive municipal services should be considered. 5. No school sites should be designated in the study area. The School Board anticipates no construction and assumes busing is a realistic and economic necessity. 6. Open green space should be promoted where possible. f.� i r MICR01ILMED BY i 7 "JORMMICRILAB-1 CEDAR RAPIDS r DES N40IRES i 1 ! 1 x'-�'_---__- CITY OF 1n/A CIVIC CENTER I 41 O E.

Re: Burlington Street Bridge (serving eastbound traffic) Shive-Hattery and Associates has completed the preliminary design study of the Burlington Street bridge over the Iowa River serving eastbound traffic. A copy of their report is attached. Two options are presented in the report: 1. a new structure using only the existing foundations. Total cost - $1,154,000; and 2. rehabilitating the existing structure. Total cost - $1,021,000. Shive-Hattery and Associates recommends rehabilitating the existing structure and the Public Works Department supports this recommendation. Public Works recommends proceeding with the design of the reconstruction of the Burlington Street bridge but delaying construction until federal monies are available.

The design plans were prepared by B.J. Lambert. Copies of these original plans have been utilized in the preparation of this report. Additional information regarding the construction and controlling specifications has not been located. The field survey has determined that the structure as built is 4 feet narrower than shown on the design plans. (One foot in each of two sidewalks and two feet in the roadway.) The original roadway width was 30 feet clear between curbs. The as -built structure consists of three clear arch spans of 104 feet (measured at the springing) founded on two 10 -foot wide piers and mass con - crate abutment skewbacks, all bearing on rock. The three centered arches -- yield a 15 -foot rise from springing line to crown. The 44 -foot wide arch barrel varies in thickness from 2 feet -0 inches at the crown to about 5 feet - 0 inches at the springing. Arch reinforcing consists of 1 -1/8 -inch square bars at 12 inch centers longitudinally top and bottom with 5/8 -inch square bars at 36 inch centers transversely. The exterior fascia walls are 14 -inch reinforced concrete, paralleling the edge of the arch barrel and rise from the extrados of the arch to the bottom of the sidewalk. Two inch recesses provide visual treatment on the exterior face. The height of these walls vary from 1 foot -2 inches to 9 feet- _- 8 inches. Eight -inch concrete spandrel closure walls parallel the exterior fascia walls (4 feet -4 inches clear between) and rise with the inside face to provide the curb and sidewalk support. These interior walls retained _ the spandrel fill. Typically, the walls are reinforced with 4 -inch square bars at 24 inch centers vertically each face and 9 inch center horizontally. Longitudinal relief in these walls is provided with expansion Joints at the face of the abutment, each side of the pier, and third span points between. These longitudinal walls are transversely stabilized with 12 -inch con- crete cross walls.(diaphragms) that dowel to these walls and to the arch. _. These walls typically stop about 19 inches below the sidewalk to provide a clear longitudinal space for utilities. Fascia walls at the piers and abut- ments were 2 feet -2 inches thick to provide pilaster treatment and extended without break at the sidewalk to form heavy handrail posts.

As built, this roadway was a 5 -inch nonreinforced concrete slab with a brick wearing surface bedded in a sand cushion. One -inch asphaltic expansion joint separation was provided between the edge of the slab and the spandrel walls to insure _ freedom of movement and to provide thermal relief. Surface drainage was provided with 4 -inch x 17 -inch cast iron refuse chutes recessed into the inside spandrel wall and projected through the arch at the centerline of span. — The 5 -inch sidewalk spanned transversely over the spandrel walls and provided a 5 foot -5 inch clear walk to heavy concrete balustered handrails.

Major items included in this contract work were detailed in the specifications, as follows: 1. Remove existing roadway surfacing to the original 5 -inch paving slab. Remove the sidewalks to the inside face of the outer spandrel walls. ~ Remove existing concrete handrail. Remove north inside spandrel wall to the top of the existing pavement. 2. Furnish and place 6 -inch P.C. concrete pavement as the roadway surface. 3. Furnish and place sand fill sufficient to bring the pavement base — to grade. This included the 4 foot -4 inch clear space between the parallel spandrel walls on each side of the structure. 4. Furnish and install new aluminum handrail. This rail was aluminum tube top rail, channel intermediate rails, and aluminum tube vertical spindles with cast aluminum posts. 5. Furnish and place new concrete downstream sidewalk (5 inch minimum thickness) reinforced with 6 X 6 #10 welded wire fabric. This resulted in a 4 -inch cap over the existing concrete at the spandrel — walls. 6. Furnish and place a reinforced concrete safety curb over the north _ outside fascia wall. By reference this work was to be executed in accordance with the Iowa State Highway Commission Standard Specifications, Series of 1960. The special provisions of the contract document addressed surface drainage and required shaping of the surface to accommodate the existing drain chutes at the south curb line and the placing of new grates in the surface over the existing refuse chutes at the original north curb line. -2- SHIVE•HATTERY& ASSOCIATES L 141CROFIL1.4ED BY "-JOR&A MICR6LA13 i CEDAR RAPIDS D[5 I401NES ji i f 1 i i This work eliminated the north upstream walk, provided a 6 foot -3 inch + south sidewalk, and a roadway width of 34 feet -9 inches' clear between curbs. Thus, adequacy for three traffic lanes was enhanced. Usage Modifications In 1967, the Iowa State Highway Commission proposed to construct a four -lane westbound bridge parallel to and upstream from the 1915 reinforced concrete arch bridge. Subsequently, on June 20, 1967, the City entered into agreement with the state in this regard. In this agreement, the City accepted responsi- bility for "maintenance and repairs of the eastbound present bridge". The westbound bridge was constructed as a four -lane facility -with bids received on January 9, 1968. Contract cost was about $343,000. Subsequent to the completion of this structure, the existing one way traffic flow was established. This newer westbound facility has a 52 feet - 0 inches roadway, 8 feet -3 inches clear upstream walk, and a safety curb downstream. The existing downstream bridge carries three lanes of eastbound traffic on State Highway 1. This structure is heavily traveled with the 1980 ADT shown as 22,200, 2! percent trucks. The downstream'sidewalk serves the ped estH an traffic on Burlington Street South. Present Condition The Iowa Department of Transporation conducted an intensive inspection on August 7, 1980. Applicable comments from the report of that inspection are, as follows: _ Condition Summary on date inspected 7-3-80 i Waterway - Satisfactory. I I Substructure - The groundline is above the springline at both abutments. j The piers have deep scaling with exposed reinforcing and map cracks.

The deterioration includes severe deep scaling on the piers at the waterline and map cracking, spalling, and leaching on the bottoms of the arch rings and on the arch fascias. This deterioration has progresses significantly since 1976. The roadway slab across the arch bridge is quite.badl•y broken up. This appears to result in drainage through the cracks onto the arcn causing deter- ioration of the arch rings. The roadway surface should be given an asphalt overlay and surface seal to keep out moisture. If this bridge must remain in service indefinitely, it also appears that the arch itself should be repaired. This would be an extensive undertaking. A comparison with the Condition Summary in the cited 1976 report reflects some condition deterioration with nominally different verbage. Applicable comments of the 1976 ,recommendations are: The picture and sketches in the report indicate the need for repair of the spalled areas on the bottoms of the arch rings and on both piers close to the waterline. The map cracking and leaching on the fascias and spandrel — walls is also a cause for concern but little can be done within the scope of normal maintenance operations. I Periodically, during the past several years and recently in the execution of this study, Shive-Hattery and Associates have made visual evaluation of this structure. A summary of these observations are as follows: 1. Extreme deterioration and spalling of the concrete near the arch springing line of the piers and abutments. This primarily caused by the freeze -thaw cycle at the low water line. Experience has demonstrated that this extends about 6 inches below low water line. However, the present low water line is controlled by the flash — boards on the dam. Prior to installation of these flash boards, the low water line would have been about 10 inches lower. Thus, we may conclude that the deterioration may extend to about 18 inches — below the present low water line. 2. Numerous spall areas with exposed reinforcing on the arch intrados. Exposed reinforcing shows some corrosion. 3. Narrow cracks on the arch intrados surface that reflect the rein- forcing steel pattern. Typically, these do not evident significant - staining that would indicate corrosive expansion of the underlying reinforcing. 4. Stalactite formations on the arch extrados near the outside edges indicating some moisture penetration through the arch in this area. 5. Significant staining of the intrados at the arch longitudinal con- struction joints (extending out about 6 feet to 8 feet from the springing line). -4- SHIVE•HATTERYGASSOCIATES 93� I ' 141CROFILMED BY "JORM MICR46LA13 CEDAR RAPIDS • DES M01NES .1 f� 6. Approximately 20 to 25 wood blocks, per span, exposed in the center section of the arch intrados. Nominally these are 4 inches X 4 inches in two longitudinal rows and probably were rebar supports at initial construction. After almost 75 years, these blocks do not reflect excessive deterioration and the concrete adjacent to them typically does not show distress or deterioration. Therefore, their presence is aesthetically displeasing but not otherwise of significant concern. 7. The arch fascias show considerable "map cracking", efflorescense, spalling, and surface deterioration. 8. Thelexposed faces of the exterior spandrel walls shown significant surface deterioration. Our experience would suggest that consider- able deterioration would exist at the interface of the bottom of - - this wall and the arch with considerable corrosion of the reinforcing steel. i _ 9. Similarly, we would expect the interior spandrel walls and the con- necting crosswall diaphragms to show the same problems but magnified. This is probably additionally compounded by the added sand fill in these originally open areas. 10. Abutment wing walls where exposed appear structurally sound and stable. However, they show significant surface deterioration. I 11. The roadway surface is badly cracked and obviously permits consider- able water penetration into the supporting base material. 12. The existing aluminum handrail appears to be sound in normal condition with limited areas of traffic abuse and collision damage. Therefore, we may initially conclude that many of the observed deter- iorations may originate in the surface water that penetrates the deck surface. In addition to the open cracks in the deck surface, our experience with similar structures suggests that the designed "expansion joint" between the edge of the deck and the interior spandrel wall is an open joint that "funnels" the runoff into the spandrel fill. This joint is at the gutter line without ade- quate seal. With the relatively flat longitudinal grade, the migration of runoff to the drains at 114 foot centers is poor at the best. Thus, surface runoff provides a considerable source of water during precipitation periods to enter the arch spandrel fill. This sand fill provides an excellent — reservoir to store this moisture until it migrates to the drains at the arch springing, through the spandrel walls, or arch construction joints. Quite obviously this penetrating moisture transports contaminatinq de- icing agents in the winter months. 'After many years of this.action, a large quantity of these waterborne contaminants have entered this "reservoir" area and now provides a continuing supply of contamination to the exposed materials. Experience clearly demonstrates the rapid and accelerating deter- lorating effects of saline solutions on concrete and reinforcing steel. -5- SHIVE•HATTERY & ASSOCIATES 1' i I41CROFIL14ED By JORM-MICR06LAS CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOVIES I � M Although the arch extrados is not available for visual evaluation, we may assume that this surface is vulnerable to deterioration in this con- taminated environment. In summary, we might conclude that much of the deterioration in evidence is.progressing and probably at an accelerating rate. This conclusion requires that we recommend the pursuit of a program of rehabilitation or replacement of this structure in the immediate future. Major Rehabilitation of Existing Structure This proposed reconstruction incorporates the philosophies and construction techniques used on similar structures in Cedar Rapids, lowa,:in the early 1960's. The author had significant responsible involvement in this previous work as design engineer and field resident during the reconstruction. Functional details developed in those projects are incorporated into this proposal with modifications to utilize recently developed construction materials and methods. This was reflected in the design intent of the recently completed recon- struction plans for the Iowa Avenue Bridge, three blocks upstream. The reconstruction proposal intends the removal of all existing con- struction down to the arch, nominal reinforcement of the arch, and construction of new transverse support beams and column walls from the arch to a multiple longifudinai span deck. •Thus, the main superstructure element, the reinforced concrete arch, is salvaged for continued use. A visual examination of the arch intrados suggests that deterioration of this structural element has not progressed to a nonsalvageable condition. In normal arch behavior the arch is continuously subjected to thrust creating low level compressive stresses. Excepting as unbalanced live loads or thermal. loads shift, the pressure line of the thrust and gravity loads outside the arch sectional kern, the entire arch cross section remains in compression. This minimizes the development of transverse surficial cracks and greatly retards the permeation of moisture into the arch in areas of uninterrupted continuity. Typically, the arch extrados is treated with a cement rich topping and/or asphaltic membrane treatment to dampproof this area of vul- nerability. This probably explains the maximum deterioration evidenced at the edges and the longitudinal construction joints (both being lines of discontinuity). The transverse cracks noted in the intrados at the outside segments of the arch probably reflect the aforementioned expansion joints in the spandrel walls. These spandrel wails doweled to the arch create nominal deviation _. from the true arch theory. These wall elements make the arch much stiffer and force the normal arch flexibility to concentrate at the joints in the spandrel wall. The design plans show the arch concrete to be proportional at 1:2:4. This projects to an Pc = 4000 psi at 28 day's. This mix is indicated to extend into the pier and abutment skewbacks to about 1 foot below springing line elevations. -6- SHIVE•HATTERY 3 ASSOCIATES QAv I I•IICAOF1 MED BY i -.�•,_ I. _-JORM MICR;LAB- L CEDAR RAPIDS • DES , 01 ,JE5 To assist in the evalution of the concrete in the arch barrel, five cores were taken (one in each span, crown and one at the east abutment springing and one at the west pier springing). Obviously, five cores are not a statistically representative sampling, but they were taken in locations without bias. The cores were all tested in compression to _. failure and averaged to 5163 psi. The three "crown" cores averaged 5487 psi and the two "springing" cores averaged 4553 psi. Low test was 4012 and high test 6482 psi. This minimum sampling, if representative, suggests very sound and structurally adequate concrete within this arch barrel. The average den- sity of the total core volume taken was 149 pounds per cubic foot. (This is high but the concrete was placed before the advent of air entrainment.) Visual evaluation of the cores showed a good dispersal of the aggregate throughout the cores (total core lengths were about 15 inches at the crown and about 42 inches at the springing). Coarse aggregate was a hard gray limestone, pro- bably 11 inch maximum size. The top of the arch reflected extra working and densification as characterized by the lack of coarse aggregate in the top } inch. The absence of a separate topping could not be confirmed or denied This evaluation may confirm our conjecture that the arch barrel retains an adequate structural adequacy for continued functional use. In order to . establish additional confirmation, an arch analysis to establish the operating stress level is necessary. The computer analysis of the arch barrel for the gravity loads under existing conditions and the proposed reconstruction are graphically depicted on pages 9 through 11. A comparative evaluation of the plotted pressure lines reveals the expected effects of the reduced dead load. The elimination of about one-third of the dead load (970 tons per span) shows a significant reduction in the axial thrust carried in the arch. This thrust reduction creates more flexibility in the arch with increased bending moments. The preliminary analysis of the stress distribution in the arch sections at the crown and springing are compared, as follows: i - 7- SHIVE•HATTERY & ASSOCIATES 938 I4ICAOEILIdED BY I ` 1 —DORM --"MIC R6LA 13 CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOVES I I r I I r., Dead Loads at Croom: P/A fb Extrados =Intrados Dead Loads at Springing: P/A fb (Extrados lEIntrados Dead Load + Live Load at Crown: P/A fb Extrados 7,Intrados Dead Load + Live Load at Springing: P/A fb Extrados ,ZIntrados Dead Load + Live Load at 4 Span: P/A fb oExtrados -wIntrados Existing Proposed -300 !

As may be expected, the maximum calculated working stress levels in the arch from gravity loads are well below the normal design stresses. The above stress summaries do not include allowances for longitudinal loads do to thermal effects and/or rib -shortening from initial shrinkage and subsequent creep. A preliminary analysis shows a horizontal thrust of - 23.5 kips/foot for a 40 temperature variation. This axial thrust with resulting moments may produce stress variations of ±371 to +535 psi at the crown and +395 to +469 psi at the springing. References recommend rib - shortening allowances to be 38 percent of the 400 thermal change. The above detailed loads in combination will produce binding stresses above the modulous of rupture and "cracked" section considerations are necessary. An analysis of this maximum combination reveals maximum stresses at an acceptable level. Ultimate strength analysis and review are beyond the cope of this preliminary investigation. An evaluation of the preliminary.design permits us to conclude that ^ the arch barrel retains structural adequacy for the proposed reconstruction. The visual evaluation dictates that certain areas and details require sur- face restoration and/or sealant. Elements of the proposed rehabilitation are shown on Appendix Sheet 1. This proposal shows a 38 foot roadway for three traffic lanes between con - Crete barrier rails, a 7 feet -0 inches clear sidewalk downstream with aluminum handrails. The drawing shows a new three line outside handrail, however, the accompanying cost estimate separately addresses the salvage, reconditioning, and reuse of the existing rail. Appendix Sheet 3 shows the plan geometry and the lateral constraints at the east end of the existing structure that establishes the maximum out -to -out of the reconstruction. The superstructure is shoo-in paneled in nine 12 feet -6 inch panels per span. The reinforced concrete deck pours directly on the arch and doweled to the arch to provide additional arch section for subsequently imposed j thrust. The balance of the longitudinal deck spans between transverse floor beams as the arch drops away from the roadway surface. These floor - beams are expected to be 15 inches wide by 2 fee N 6 inches deep. Column walls 12 inches wide continue from the floorbeam to the arch extrados. These walls are poposed to "hinge" at the arch surface to minimize undesirable "fixed end" moments in local areas of the arch barrel. The sidewalk and safety curb are proposed with longitudinal fascia beams with an arch soffet to carry the character of the arch barrel into the smaller deck spans between floor beams. The proposal includes high strength post tensioning rods at each panel point (3 above and 2 below). These serve to "tie" the arch barrel together and induces a minimal transverse compression in the arch that enhances the longitudinal compressive adequacies. The eccentricity of the post tensioning -12- SHIVE•HATTERY& ASSOCIATES i MICROFILMED BY 1 -' CDORMI'OM ,CROLAB 1 DES MOVIES r i ` J 934F I� load to the extrados permits transferral of some of the normal arch loads to the new arch edge. The proposal includes a 2 -foot wide arch addition upstream and a 2 -foot wide arch reconstruction downstream. This permits restoration of the deter- iorated fascia of existing arch, conceals the post tensioning end detail, and provides the opportunity to develop a heavily reinforced new "edge beam" on the arch barrel. Reconstruction of the existing structure will require areas of removal of deteriorated concrete and subsequent restoration to smooth lines. These areas are known to include segments at the arch springing and identifiable areas of the arch intrados. Other areas may be identified in the field during the construction period. It is anticipated that removal would be to sawcut edges in sound concrete to depths as necessary (about 3 inches). "Patch" areas would be reinforced with welded wire fabric anchored in place. The restorative concrete would include an epoxy bonding agent and may be placed by hand or pneumatically and finally finished as necessary. This proposal also anticipates a sealant as necessary in exposed areas of the arch extrados to prevent moisture penetration into the arch barrel. This is expected to require a special joint preparation and treatment at the existing longitudinal joints in the arch. If deemed necessary during con- struction, the total exposed extrados may be coated with an epoxy penetrating sealant. The proposal project includes approach paving work for a total project length of about 410 feet plus revision to the existing median on east approach as necessary. Appendix Al details the estimated project cost for the proposed rehab-ilitation of the existing Burlington Street Bridge, as above defined. -- Proposed New Structure I — The proposed new structure is projected to utilize structural steel girders similar to those on the newer parallel bridge structure. The pro- jected spans exceed the span limitations of precast, prestressed concrete girders presently used in Iowa. Changes in existing span geometry are not a justifiable alternate consideration. The proposed new structure is expected to have a deck cross section similar to that defined in the reconstruction proposal. Similarly, the plan geometry and project length would be as afore described. - The superstructure is anticipated to have a 9 -inch transverse deck over six continuous composite welded steel girders. Diaphragms, bearings, and details to be in accordance with present [DOT standards. -13- SIiIVE•HATTERY & ASSOCIATES I i MICROFILMED BY I' -JORM -M IC R6LAB- 1 CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MO NES 1 I 931e Since the proposed new structure must have span arrangements to match the existing north bridge (for hydraulic considerations) the substructure units must be in their present location. Therefore, we would propose that the existing footing elements which bear on rock be salvaged .and reused for the new construction. Removal of these existing elements would be expensive and not justifiable. The proposed new piers would have a multiple column shaft with a rectan- gular cap beam on the existing pier footings. These existing massive concrete footings are 14 feet x 60 feet in plan and are founded on rock. The tops of these footings are shown at elevation 43.0. The concrete in these footings was of a 1:2}:5 mix (estimated f'c = 3,000 psi) and is not reinforced. There is no visible signs of any structural problem with these footings and our experience suggests that this concrete in a continuously submerged environ- ment, would be adequate for the proposed reuse. These footings contain about 400 cubic yards of concrete each and removal and replacement is totally unjusti- fied. This proposal anticipates drilling and grouting reinforcing dowels for the new pier shaft. Similarly, the existing abutment skewbacks would be retained for the foundation of the new abutments. Arch barrel removal would terminate at about 3 feet above springing line elevation. The resulting removal would be extended as necessary to sound concrete and capped to provide a base for the new abutment backwall. The bearing seat "beam" would cantilever j outside the existing abutment wings to accomodate the wider proposed structure. i - Appendix Sheet 2 shows typical elements of the proposed new structure. Appendix B-2 details the estimated project cost for the alternate proposed new structure. Utilities We have been in communication with Northwestern Bell Telephone Company and the University of Iowa relative to their facilities on the existing Burlington Street Bridge. Northwestern Bell presently has 15 cables in fiber ducts under the south sidewalk. These cables carry in excess of 30,000 circuits. In 1981, two — 2-4 inch diameter conduits were bdded to brackets on the south fascia. Their projections indicate additional crossing needs in this area by 1985• In anti- cipation of replacement or reconstruction of the Burlington Street Bridge in — the near future, they have commenced planning and design for a major duct bank crossing on the steel girder bridge. This alternate crossing will permit: 1. Permanent detour route for the existing affected crossing. 2. Required expansion of the crossing for projected needs. The University of lona presently has two 5 -inch diameter conduits carrying high voltage electrical and one 2 -inch diameter conduit carrying telemetry. — These facilities are presently cantilevered off the south fascia of the existing -14- SHIVE•HATTERY 6 ASSOCIATES MICROt ILMED BY I I .-JORM MICROLAB- 1 CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOVIES i i .l bridge. They have indicated a desire for continuation of the Present with a considerable expansion. In order to minimize interference with the proposed project, these utilities may also be relocated on the existing nor - The therly bridge. The University of Iowa also has an insulated 12 -inch water main can- tilevered off the north bridge fascia. This may be replaced with a 20 inch submerged crossing at another location. Presently there is no indication of intent to carry any new utilities on the proposed project. There is space under the south sidewalk available for utilities if the utilities choose to use this space for their future needs We will remain in communication regarding these utilities until their pro- jected needs are satisfied. The included cost estimates for the proposal studies do not include any allowances for utilities. If utility involvement in the project becomes necessary (other than street lighting), the costs incurred for this work will be reimbursable to the City by the involved utility. Restoration of the street lighting is included in the estimates. Conclusion This report addresses two viable alternatives for replacement or recon- struction of the existing reinforced concrete arch bridge on Burlington Street over the Iowa River. Either alternate should provide a facility to satisfy present loading requirements with a projected life of about 40 years with normal maintenance. Our recommendations are addressed in the letter transmitting this document. 1 hereby declare that this report was prepared by me or under my direct supervision and that I am a duly Registered Engineer under the laws of the State of Iowa.

Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mr. Knight: • As you requested, I have completed an appraisal of Central Junior High School located at Jefferson and Van Buren Streets, Iowa City, Iowa. The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the market value. The value estimate applies as of May 2,. 1983.. The property rights appraised are fee simple title owner- I' ship,, assuming no•indebtedness against the property.. The property consists of a three level, masonry, old junior high school building with an attached, enclosed walkway and annex building housing a gymnasium. The build- ings contain a gross floor. area of 40,308 square feet and were originally constructed in 1903 with.various stages of subsequent remodeline and are now ronni.dered to be in t below average condition.' The improvements are situated on a site having dimensions of 320 feet by 320 feet, for an area of 102,400 square feet, or 2.35 acres, more or less. The site is zoned R-3 and the present use is conforming.- However, the resulting value estimate considers the site to be vacant of the existing improvements and ready for redevelopment. As a result of my investigation and analysis, as summarized in this report, I estimate the market value of this property to be: FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS $ 565,000.00 I wish to thank you for the opportunity to serve you in this matter, and I will be available to discuss any questions at your convenience.

The definition for I this appraisal is similar, and set out as follows: The highest price estimated in terms of money which a property will likely bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition•is.the consummation of a sale as.of a specified date i and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: i 1, buyer and seller are typically motivated. { r 2, both parties are well informed or well advised, and each acting in what i he considers his own best interest. 3. a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market. 4. payment is made in cash or its equivalent. 5. financing, if any, is on terms generally available in the community at the i specified date and typical for the property type in its locale. 6. the price represents a normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special financing amounts and/or terms, services, fees, costs, or credits incurred in the transaction.

It is generally recommended by the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, that the market value of a parcel of real property be estimated by the use of three approaches to value. These are the Cost Approach, the Income Approach, and the Market Data -Approach. The value indicated by each approach will be carefully reviewed and that approach, which in the judgement of the appraiser, most adequately and accurately reflects all the circumstances in connection with the part`_cular property under appraisement, and the purpose for which the appraisal is being made, will be selected as the best indication of market value. The Cost Approach is the value of the land to which is added the depreciated cost new of any improvements. In this appraisal, however, since we are considering only the value of the land, this approach will be considered synonymous with the Market Data Approach. The Income Approach is the capitalization of net income at a proper rate. Income is derived, if possible, from the comparison of the subject property with similar prop- erties in the area that are leased. The capitalization rate is derived, if possible, from recent sales of leased property in the area. The appraisal of land does not, as a rule, lend itself to the techniques of the income approach. In some areas, where there is an active market for leased land, significant data could be readily accumula- ted and justified. In this case, however, accurate data is difficult to obtain be of the lack of recent sales of leased land and the resulting difficulty in obtaining a proper rate. This approach will not be used in this appraisal. The Market Data Approach is the comparison of recent sales of comparable properties as a guide to market value. If sales of property having the same features as the subject property are not available, sales of properties having some or part of the same features will be considered, and adjustments will be made to indicate the market value of the subject property from these transactions.

CITY AND AREA DATA The City of Iowa City is located in the east -central area of the State of Iowa approximately 120 miles east of the City of Des Moiens, the Capital of the State of Iowa. I Iowa City is the County Seat of Johnson County. The 1980 Census of Johnson County was 81,717 and 50,508 for Iowa City. Iowa City is served with several major highways including I-80, which is gen- ` .... _ _ _ .. erally the northern boundary. Other highways included are O1, # 6 and 0 218. i The major industry in Iowa City is the University of Iowa, which is the largest university in the State. Also of major importance is the University Hospital ' , a i t national leader in several medical specialties. Another area of strong economic ti S importance is agri-business, which generally influences Johnson County. Iowa City offers a great and varied selection of retail goods, and professional services. However, if a larger selection of retail goods and professional services ! is required, residents can travel to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, approximately 30 miles north of Iowa City. The economy of Iowa City appears stable and there is nothing that would indicate a change in the future. The City is served with all public utilities and Police and Fire protection are provided by the City of Iowa City. 911/ 1 - L j 141CROFILI-ED BY -1'••... I' DORM....

NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION The subject neighborhood is located in the central area of the City of Iowa City. For the purpose of this appraisal the neighborhood boundaries are described as Bloomington Street on the north, the Iowa River on the west, Burlington Street on the south and Governor Street on the east. Within the neighborhood boundaries are the Central Business District District i and the University of Iowa classrooms. Neighborhood uses include, as stated, the University of Iowa classrooms, the i i Central Business District, offering many retail stores, restaurants, banking, theaters, i professional services, City Government buidlings, and single and multi -family housing. I New construction has been limited and any recent construction has been due to ii enlarging or remodeling existing properties. The neighborhood is considered to be f 100% developed and new construction is generally a result of purchasing an existing I building for the land. Streets in the neighborhood are typically asphaltic and have curbs and gutters. There are public sidewalks. The subject neighborhood has good access to I-80, approx- i imately 4 miles north . The topography of the neighborhood is generally level with natural drainage to the south and west. The neighborhood has all available public utilities. Police and Fire protection are provided by the City of Iowa City. f� 141CROFILMED B DORM --MICROL-AB J 1 1 CEDAR RAPIDS • DE OL" AB I M018ES � I 4 J I 9. SITE DESCRIPTION The subject site covers an entire city block, having Jefferson Street on the south, Van Buren Street on the west, Market Street on the north, and Johnson Street on the east. The site is square in shape and has dimensions of 320' X 320', for an area of 102,400 square feet or 2.35 Acres, more or less. The subject site is zoned R-3 and the present use is conforming. The topography of the site is level with natural drainage to the south. The soil apparently affords good support for foundations in the area as only normal settle- ment in the subject foundation was observed. The site.is graded and crowned at the building location, providing drainage of surface water away from the improvements. I The site, at curb line, is approximately 1 foot above grade. Neighborhood uses include a hospital, single and multi -family housing, and commercial facilities. The site is served with all available public utilities. Police and Fire protection are provided by the City of Iowa City.

The opinion of such use may be based on the highest and most profitable contin- uous -use to which a property is adapted and needed, or likely to be in demand in the near future. That use of land which may reasonably be expected to produce the greatest net return to the land over a given period of time, or that legal use which will yield to the land the highest present value, are other ways of defining the highest and best use. In other words, the optimum use. To determine the highest and best use, as defined, the use of surrounding prop- erties, the zoning, and physical characteristics of the subject property must be analyzed to select the use or uses that are most likely to occur. These must then be evaluated is to determine the most profitable use. i The highest and best use of a site, if vacant and available for use, may be diff- erent from the highest and best use of the improved p property. This will be found when � an improvement exists that is producing a net return over and above the requirement by the land, but is not an appropriate use nor is it producing the highest return. I The subject property is improved with a three story, masonry, old school house building containing 30,404.0 square feet plus an attached gymnasium building containing 9,904.0 square feet, for a gross floor area of the complex at 40,308.0 square feet. The facility was originally built in 1903 and has been subsequently remodeled at various times to bring the building up to acceptable standards for day to day use as a Junior High School. It is however, presently in such poor condition that closing the school is being considered and redevelopment of the site is anticipated. The site consists of a square city block measuring 320.0 feet by 320.0 feet, for a total site area of 102,400.0 square feet, or 2.35 acres. cl. re! Zoning of the site is R-3, Multiple Family Residential District This zoning r I F 14 lower.density residential use and public uses such as parks, libraries and schools. Industrial and high density commercial uses are precluded under this zoning, nor would they be an acceptable use due to the surrounding neighborhood which is predominantly residential in character. .A single family use of the site would not produce the greatest continuing net return to the land in view of the optimum development permitted, such as multiple resid- ential as of which there is an apparent demand for in the area. Therefore, a multiple family residential use within the R-3 zoning classification appears to represent the highest and best use. The question then arises as to whether the value of the property lies in the existing improvements or within the land alone, as vacant, ready for complete redevelop i ment. i As the improvements p presently exist, the Cost Approach to Value would be of little benefit. The buildings are in poor condition for the current school use and for all practical purposes, are almost fully chpreciateduut physically and certainly economic- ally. This approach would also not be consistent with the highest. and best use. A search of the market has not revealed any transactions of property similar in nature to the subject property. Therefore, the Market Data Approach to Value is also • I mgretably not utilized in this case. However, this approach too, would fail to meet the criteria under the highest and best use as it presently exists: The existing use as an educational facility does not provide a net income sufficient to support even the land value estimate alone, so even though the current use may be a proper use for the socio-economic requirements of the community it fails to support the underlying value of the overall property. (Given the fact that the school use is not absolutely essential to the subject's particular location and in view of the overall condition of the property.) Therefore, an alternative use of the existing facility within the R-3 zoning must be analyzed. This will then confirm whether there is any value attributable to the improvements over and above the land value estimate alone. In considering an alternative use, a multiple residential use is most probable i MICROFILMED BY i �.

Therefore, the following proposal is purely speculative in nature and is used only for illustrative purposes in support of our final value estimate. We estimate that within the main classroom building a total of 30-800 square foot residential units could be realized after calculating and deducting the requirements for hallways, mechanical and other common areas. The annex -gymnasium building could be updated and remodeled to be utilized as a recreational building within the complex. Total conversion costs are estimated at $50.00er square foot of p q gross floor area, or I about $2,000,000.00. This conversion cost considers complete interior demolition and the cost to remodel into the 30 units and common areas. 'Included -in this cost estimate f `s is floor repair and covering, interior partitions and doors, ceiling, electrical, heat- JJj ing and cooling, plumbing, appliances, exterior renovation and paved parking requirements. j These costs are taken from the Marshall Valuation Service, a nationally recognized cost I service and verified by local contractors. j If the conversion is feasible, the resulting market value of the project, as t completed, should absorb the conversion cost and the expected return should justify the net income and consequently the gross potential income of the project, or the required rent for the proposed units. 'In addition, the anticipated market value of the project, as completed, would also include the underlying land value, which has not been considered up to now. I The land value has been estimated on the following pages at $590,000.00. Therefore, the total "value" at this point would be about $2,590,000.00. In deriving the required return on the total cost or " value" thus far, typical first mortgage financing for the real estate investment and the proper equity dividend or cash -on -cash return must be analyzed. Discussions with several lenders indicates that the best mortgage terms available for this type of property would be for a term of 30 years, at a 13k2 interest rate and a 752 loan to value ratio, with probably a 5 or 10 year call. The annual constant, MICROFILMED 6Y III"' --JORM--MICR46L-AB_ �..� 'l CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES i I i % I i 16 based on monthly payments is .135093. The current attitudes of investors, in multiple family residential property, is the willingness to take a relatively low annual cash dividend on the cash investment (equity dividend ). This has been demonstrated in the market, where we find equity div- idend rates ranging from a negative low to a high of about 10%. The new income tax laws, with the faster depreciation allowed, has created a better tax situation than before. In addition, lower equity dividend rates are common because the investors are betting on continuing inflation and an increase in their equity positions over the term of ownership, resulting in a higher yield, particularly after income taxes. However, the additional risk in the subject would tend to raise this rate. As a result, I estimate an equity dividend rate of about 8.0% to be sufficient to attract investment capital. f' Therefore, the overall rate of return, based on a band of investment technique, i r using the above terms, is calculated at 12.1320%. The total required return, or net income, is then calculated at $314,218.80 ($2,590,000.00 X .121320). This net income must now be converted into a gross income estimate. Based on net income ratios of other similar projects ( similar in economic structure ) the proper net income ratio is estimated at 547. Therefore, the effective gross income is calculated at $581,886.67 and after considering a 3% vacancy rate, the gross potential income of the project is estimated at $599,883.16. Therefore, on a per month basis, the typical unit would have to rent for about $1,666.34, or 2.08.per square foot. This rental rate is far in excess of what the current rental market is presently demonstrating, and thus, concluding that a possible conversion to the proposed residential use is not justified. Any lower density conver- sion or alternative use would be under -utilizing the building and site area. Therefore, the highest and best use of the property is considered to be for redevelopment of the entire site with demolition of the existing improvements. The land 1 value estimate must now be adjusted for the cost of demolition. f4w. 14ICROFIL ED BY I ' `JORM - MIC RGtiL Atj' CEDAR RAPIDS DES 1401NE5 i MICROFILMED BY l D ORM"'-MICRbLA13 CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES 1 fill y r d 1 17. LAND VALUE EST I -M • The estimation of land value considers the site to be vacant and subject to improvement. The value estimate is based on sales of similar vacant land in the area. This is a comparison process utilizing the principle of substitution. This principle, simply stated, affirms that the maximum value of a property tends to be set by the cost of acquisition of any equally desirable and valuable substitute property, assum- ing no costly delay is encountered in making the substitution. This method entails a search of the market for sales of comparable properties and the comparison with the subject site for an indication of value. In addition, the final step will be to deduct the estimated cost of demoltion from the land value to arrive at actual land value as vacant and ready for redevelopment. i MICRDF IEMED DY —JORM_._MI C R4ICA B-' } CEDAR RAPIDS •DES MOlAES j } a f W . r� J LAND SALE NO. 1 ADDRESS: LEGAL DESCRIPTION: SOLD: FILED: GRANTOR: GRANTEE: SALE PRICE: LOT SIZE: SOLD AT: ZONING: UTILITIES: LAND SALE NO. 2 ADDRESS: LEGAL DESCRIPTION:.

CORRELATION OF LAND SALE DATA On the preceding page I have listed 5 comparable land sales ranging in size from 14,315 to 61,540 square feet. According to information obtained from the city of Iowa City Assessor's Office, the comparable properties have zoning classifications as CB, CBS and R-3. The subject is zoned R-3. Sale dates for the comparables ranged from 4-11-78 to 1-12-83. Adjustments to the sales have been considered which attempt to quantify the diff- erences between each sale property and the subject. These adjustments are based on a combination of market trends and the appraiser's judgement. We have followed the market i for years', and.through our observations of -market activity, have learned to recognize factors which explain the differences in the sale prices of real property. Occasionally, the sale information included in a report can be used to demonstrate the proper magni- tude of a particular adjustment. However, most often observation of sales of other properties over an extended period of time have to be relied upon in adjusting for 1 differences between properties. i The comparables were adjusted to the subject with regard to the date of sale, location, topography, size, shape and zoning. Generally, adjustments for date reflects the increases in property values over f time, location adjustments reflect the relative desirability of different locations, size adjustments are based on the observation that smaller parcels generally sell for - i more per square foot, adjustments for shape and topography account for physical char- acteristics which effect the sale price, and zoning adjustments compensate for diff- erences in permitted uses. As adjusted, the comparables showed a range from $5.12 to $6.18 per square foot. By eliminating the low, Comparable 4 2, the range is then from $5.48 to $6.18 per square foot. Considering the comparables as adjusted to the subject, I estimate the market value to be about $5.75 per s !are -•.foot+ slightly more than the average of all the comparables and slightly less than comparibles 11 1, 0 3, # 4 and 1 5. 141CROFILMED BY 1.

Officer Linn, while checking the area behind the bar, observed a patron come behind the bar and take papers from under the telephone behind the bar in an attempt to hide the papers from the police officers. Officer Linn secured the papers from the patron. The papers were seventeen copies of a line sheet which had on it these athletic events: five NBA professional basketball games played November 4, 1982; five NHL professional hockey games played November 4, 1982; seven NBA professional basketball games played November 5, 1982; two NHL professional hockey games played November 5, 1982; eight NBA professional bas- ketball games played November 6, 1982; eight NHL professional hockey games played November 6, 1982; four NBA professional basketball games played November 7, 1982; six NHL professional hockey games played November 7, 1982; thirty-six college football games played on November 6, 1982; thirteen NFL professional football games played on October 24, 1982; and one NFL professional football game played October 25, 1982. Around 11:20 a.m., Officer Seuppel and Agent Whalen went to the hallway in the rear of the establishment with Mr. Scheler. Officer Linn stayed to the bar area next to the phone. Eight'calls were made to this phone 1n the hour period beginning at 11:20 a.m. and ending at 12:20 p.m., and Officer Linn answered all eight calls. Seven people made these eight calls; one person called twice. All seven people asked for "Rudy", Mr. Scheler's nickname, and Officer Linn told the seven callers that Rudy was not available and that he (Officer Linn) was taking the action. Two of the seven callers did not place bets. Five callers made bets on sports events by placing six calls (one person called twice and placed bets both calls). These eight calls were made: first call, caller placed sixteen bets; second call, caller placed four bets; third call, caller placed one bet; fourth call, caller did not place a bet; fifth call, caller (same person who made the first call) made twelve more bets; sixth call, caller made one bet; seventh call, caller did not place a bet; and eighth call, the caller placed one bet.
