SCHEDULE FOR CONSIDERATION OF NEW ZONING ORDINANCE 1562-2497 Schmeiser explained the methodology they are following for development of a Short-range Comprehensive Plan and for the Long-range Comprehensive Plan. He outlined several changes meriting special study. Using the map, he showed the change in location for Freeway 518, different from what is presently shown on the plan, and the resulting change in land use in the area near Old Capitol Motors. Impact of the Johnson Co. Home sanitary sewer on the area was noted. Schmeiser stated that the School Board and Administrator Cronin have in- formed them that they do not propose to construct new elementary schools in the near future. Problems relating to the school capacities were mentioned. Areas shown in green on the map will not be developing in 10-20 years, and are shown as agricultural. The process to determine housing needs was outlined. Three or four mini -studies will be present- ed to Council in the future. One full time and three part time employees will be working on these elements. Input from the University will be solicited. Atty. Jansen commented that so far he and Schmeiser are working in a one on one situation and have not delegated any work to others. He has about completed his review of the text. TePaske stated that this particular study dovetails with the 'Fringe Study discussed, the questions raised and recommendations made fit well and should coincide with the County review by the Board of Supervisors on what is being contemplated. Roberts noted that the Fringe Committee had finished its work and had sent the result to the Legal Department for review and guidance. Berlin advised that the Fringe Committee report is on Atty. Jansen's list, and he will be working on it. INFORMAL MEETING -DECEMBER 28, 1981 City Manager Berlin asked if an informal Council meeting would be needed for December 28, 1981. All agreed that it was not needed. SPACE STUDY 2497 -End Roy Neuman and Rick Caruth representing the consultant were present. Chief Miller outlined the chronology of events as taken by the Committee and the Staff. Neuman explained the task given to the consultant, and handed out a brochure showing what he had done. He explained the procedure taken for their study. Caruth had visual aids showing the various City properties studied including the Civic Center, the Recreation Center, the Service Building -Transit Building, the Fire Stations, the Davis Building, the Pollution Control Bldg., U Smash 'Em Bldg., and the Senior Center Bldg. Each department had submitted projeptions for space requirements for the next 20 years. These were reviewed by the Committee and the City Manager. Options to increase space were as follows: 1) New Public Safety Center at a new site, the old space remodeled, 2) a new fire station at a new site, the old space remodeled,' 3) an addition to the Civic Center. The most realistic alternative was to have the central fire station at a new site, the space could be remodeled for space for the police and administrative offices. The third floor at the Senior Center could be utilized on.'a short term basis. In the long- range plan, the addition could be made to the Civic Center, and an elevator added, for accessibility to the handicapped. I MICROEILIRED BY I. -UORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES I I I 1 Informal Council Page 3 December 21, 1981 Conclusions of the consultant were listed in the hand-out. Any bonds for building would have to be approved by the voters. Possibly one Side 1, million for a new central fire station. Three potential sites mention- 7-386 ed included the parking lot north of the Civic Center; the U Smash 'Em Building and parking lot; and the Water Service Yard (which is too small). The Elm Grove Park site was considered, but it is not centrally located. The lot north of the Civic Center had the greatest number of advantages. The consultant will submit a copy of his recommendation, costs, and figures for operations costs. Caruth stated that the study would pro- l vide a rational basis for making interim decisions.

The new assessor will appoint his/her own deputies. Regarding tort liability, he advised that the City has always paid this, but now his budget will include the amount to reimburse the City. The total budget has increased 4.7 per cent. The assessors do not belong to .the Union. The dental plan is included as their package is compat- ible with the County medical coverage. To cover the work necessary for residential assessing, they have hired no outside help since 1973. The Vanguard Company was hired to do commercial work. Councilman Vevera complimented Belger on the fine work he has done over the years, .truly a dedicated, loyal public servant. Others agreed. Mayor Balmer suggested that as Belger is retiring, a committee should be formed to look into the possibility of combining the City and County Assessors offices, to see if there are any advantages. Belger pointed out that in three instances in Iowa where this has been tried, it has not worked well, but he would be glad to speak with the committee. Mayor Balmer announced that the committee would be Don Sehr, Tom Cilek, John Balmer and the City Manager. There were no objections. Moved by the City, seconded by the County to accept the budget as proposed. The.Chairman declared the motion carried unanimously, 3/0.
