There has been no posi- tive commitment by the. owners for any cooperation. .Some help from the School of Social Work might be possible. Physical conditions of the build- ings, and social problems were pointed out. City Manager Berlin thought that if the owner cooperated, with limited funds a program would be worth- while.

Rezoning NE of Highway 1/Freeway 518 interchange. P&Z recommended annexation and rezoning to CH. Utilities are available. This commercial use was consistent with the short range SW Area.Study, & consistent with the Comprehensive Plan to a large extent. Lloyd will not voluntarily annex his parcel. The City would only provide sewer if the annexation is voluntary. Boothroy discussed CH zone. As there were no objections to P&Z's recommendation, Berlin stated that at tomorrow's formal meeting, Council could direct him to for- ward to the County the Council's concurrence with P&Z's recommendation. 2. Although Staff has questions regarding the proposed rezoning of 1014-1016 Hudson St. property, and the minutes of the P&Z discussion have not yet been distributed, Council can proceed to set public hearing. 3. Regarding the vacation of the alley in Lyman Cook's Subd. of Outlot 25 & Berryhill and Pierce Addn., Atty. Joe Holland was present to explain the request to clear title for issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds: The street was platted in 1 854 and the north 2301 vacated in 1966, leaving a portion completely surrounded by property owned by Abrams.

CITY CONFERENCE BOARD -Meeting was held at this time. ,See special minutes. AGENDA -COUNCIL BUSINESS 1414-1956 1. Atty. Tom Cilek requested addition of a liquor license for Vanessas to the agenda. Mondanaro explained the circumstances. At least two signatures have not been obtained. Neuhauser repeated Council's policy, when the application is in order, it will be added to the agenda. It was suggested that a special meeting could be held if necessary. 2. Regarding the public hearing on the vacation of a portion of Maiden Lane, Knight advised that a correction will be made by addition of an easement provision for utilities to the ordinance. 3. Boothroy stated that the Ordinance regarding fees for applications to P&Z can be given three considerations and the Resolution adopted. There was no opposition. 4. Council agreed to give the second and final consideration of the Ordinance concerning off-street parking requirements for clinic uses. 5. Concerning the issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds for Mercy Hospital expansion, Balmer gave a strong endorsement to the request as Council is looking at a community facility. Perret requested a written state- ment from the City Attorney regarding constitutionality of using the 1 —1 IJORM-VfMICR0LA® CEDAR RAPIDS •OLS MOIYES 1 _M r L Page 2 r -r Informal Council February 1, 1982 the bonds. Erdahl agreed. Berlin advised that the City's bond counsel had said there were no problems, other hospitals have issued IRB's with the condition that assurances be provided that proceeds will not be used for any facility for religious services or purposes. Jansen said he would provide whatever is requested. Perret also requested information from the City transportation people as to the impact of the design of the parking ramp on traffic circulation in that area. Erdahl noted that this is the best time for input before a final plan is filed. Perret also questioned the safety aspect of a helicopter landing in a residential area, and asked for some input from FAA, the Airport Commission, the University, and the neighbors. Perret also requested the financial impact on the total amount the city policy allocates for industrial pro- jects. Vitosh said the industrial limit is 5% of assessed valuation. This issue would be well within the 5%. Berlin commented that the policy relates to the tax -base of the commercial property, and this is the first issue that is a nontaxable project and not relevant for those lids. Erdahl questioned if any property would have to be rezoned. 6. Balmer noted his displeasure with receipt of the memo regarding the prob- lems with the heat at the Davis Building. Neuhauser stated that she did not want any more pressure from the Staff about moving offices to the Senior Center, or she wouldn't vote for the move. Perret questioned enforcement of codes regarding the situation. Berlin stated that there were no code re- quirements for, commercial buildings, and staff has had no instructions to proceed on the issue. 7. Item 2.f.1 -Resolution setting public hearing on amendment to the Housing Code, should be deferred as the explanation materials had not been distrib- distributed. 8. Item 13 -Resolution Establishing Administrative Procedures regarding' rent escrow monies under the Housing Code should also be deferred, as the Resolution was not in the agenda materials. 9. Berlin asked that Council move to defer the award of the bid for the Ralston Creek Village Sanitary Sewer Relocation Project to the February 16th meeting. He will remind them during City Mgr.'s business. 10. As. there were questions regarding the fees proposed for the Mechanical Code the Plumbing Code and the Electrical Code, Items, 14, 15 & 16, they will be deferred for an informal discussion. 11. Erdahl asked for clarification of the Mayor's letter to CCN regarding CDBG funding for the North Branch Stormwater Detention Facility -Ralston Creek, as he would be attending a CCN meeting at noon on Wednesday. There has been no final decision made on the funding as yet, Berlin noted. 12.

She summarized information presented in her memo. Noth advised that the City's approach is quite sound. Vitosh explained data -crunching, increase in revenue from parking tickets, and possible future changes. The tow list has 700 vehicles which have at least $25 worth of parking tickets. She explained why update in 3-4 years is needed. Recent complaints regarding water billing was explained. Many of 1 -1 IJOR M^V,M IC ROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS DES '401ACS J L` Informal Council Page 3. February 1, 1982 the bills are for three months instead of two, coupled with the raise in rates. Berlin advised that a Press Release has gone out. WATER -PUBLIC WORKS Balmer noted that this was a blue-chip operation and the credit sou d go to Cleo Kron. Kron noted that this January they have had 19 main breaks. POLLUTION CONTROL -PUBLIC WORKS Schmadeke advised that Consultant Jim Kimm was in Kansas City today getting the latest information on grants. Boren explained that the sewers are cleaned only where there are problems, mostly in the older parts of town. Since the second week in December the digesters are back to normal. When the bacteria die off it takes three or four months to get back to normal. TRAFFIC ENGINEERING -PUBLIC WORKS Brachtel discussed the left -turn problems at the Du uque C urc intersection signal. He advised that when the Ralston Creek project is finished, he can remove the Gilbert/Benton light. Side 2, He also explained why the computer study on traffic lights was unuseable. 1-276 LANDFILL -PUBLIC WORKS Schmadeke noted that the life of the landfill has in- . -creased to 30 years. They are excavating down about 60', 5' above the water table. Council was pleased to hear this good news. More money is being spent on repair of the garbage trucks. Vitosh pointed out that this budget assumes an increase in the landfill rate from 6.10 to 6.60 per ton. REFUSE COLLECTION Berlin called attention to the chargeback for Central Business District of $15,000. STREETS -PUBLIC WORKS In regard to the proposed overlay project, Balmer asked when Council would make the decision about allocating Road Use Tax funds. Berlin advised that the decision did not have to be made at this time, but Council should decide on an amount of money to leave in the budget. McDonald questioned policy regarding sweeping alleys/snowplowing alleys. Berlin explained that there is no relationship in the two policies. The policy and priority for alley snowplowing is that they will plow when everything else is finished. When alleys are plowed, however, people get their cars out and then store them on the streets especially in the central and north areas of the City. Streets with major problems regard- ing parking are College Street and Washington Street, and Berlin suggested doing something other than the 'snow emergency' procedure. Perret questioned the city policy on removal of snow at sidewalk intersections. Schmadeke advised that this is the property owner's responsibility, but when streets are plowed, snow is thrown back on sidewalks making large piles of snow for pedestrians to climb over. Removal is enforced on a complaint basis. Several Councilmembers thought that it should be the city's responsibility. ENGINEERING -PUBLIC WORKS Erdahl suggested that the Project chart be done with color next time. Perret questioned why there was not an objective to design and complete drawings for improvements on Melrose Court, side- walks, curbs, pedestrian crossings. Berlin said previous estimates would be presented during CIP discussion. Neuhauser asked, regarding Rocky Shore Bikeway, if all rip -rap going to be dumped in there was in accord- ance with engineering. Schmadeke replied that it was. uvon_rT rrtn ov JORM MIC ROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES 1 _," Informal Council Page 4 February 1, 1982 ADMINISTRATION -PUBLIC WORKS Schmadeke advised that the State will have to know Council's decision regarding construction of Camp Cardinal Road bridge by February 8th. Berlin called attention to Gannon's memo. Schmadeke suggested consideration of delay of Iowa Ave. & Burlington Street bridge repairs for a couple years, when state money might be available. The City does all the engineering work, so could do that and wait for further funding. The State inspects Burlington St. bridge and sets the criteria. They do approximately three bridges a year. The City's share of Camp Cardinal bridge would be approximately $50,000 plus engineering costs. There were no objections to taking the oppor- tunity to construct the bridge while the money is available. An appeal of this designation is not feasible. EXECUTIVE SESSION Moved by Perret, seconded by Dickson, to adjourn to executive session under Section 20 of the Code of Iowa, to discuss as a public employer, strategy regarding collective bargaining with City employee organizations; as such discussion is exempted from the provisions of Chapter 28A according to Chapter.20.17(3)..

TAPE-RECORDED ON Reel n82-4, Side 2, 276 -End, and Reel n82-5, Side 1, 1-142 PROPOSED FY'83 BUDGET Major unresolved issues. 276 -End BROADBAND TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Comm. Bill Terry present. Neuhauser called attention to the memo and revised proposal as presented. City Manager Berlin had no problems with the figures, but his concern was that the interest rate should be the current interest rate, and the City policy has not been to give a lump sum amount, until it has been specified exactly how it will be used, and this can be worked out. Neuhauser com- mented that the Connission should be seeking other sources of revenue. There were no objections to approving the concept presented. EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT Berlin explained that the material sent out pre- viously was summarized from the charts distributed. A cut back was suggested. 'The criteria used to evaluate replacement was discussed. Final decision will be considered later in the meeting. PERSONNEL -Administrative and Confidential Employees. The memo frpm the City Manager, with a 3ustments or each group was explained. Roll -ups (or fringes) are 1%, $16,500 for 65 Administrative and 20 Confidential employees. Confidentials have no grievance procedures and are ex- cluded from the bargaining units, and have no negotiation process for salaries. Balmer requested salary information for each person. Current salaries will be provided. A certain percentage increase for salaries for all employees is added to the budget and any funds not used are added to ending balances. Staff has budgeted at 98% of salaries for this year. A majority of Councilmembers approved the City Manager's proposal. Additional Staff -Police No one favored funding for the six officers as requested. Sever -al suggested addition of two officers at $46,000. Concerns regarding Cadet Corp noted. Balmer questioned if it was feasible for the parking system to unlock cars. Vitosh replied that there isn't time enough now to impound and tow. Final decision later in meeting, Finance The person needed would be a financial analysis person. Future tasks for the information specialist were questioned and explained by Vitosh. Staff has considered transferring certain duties to the Asst. City Manager. Councilmembers suggested slowing down with computer applications. Berlin commented that two possible cost-effective areas being discussed as additions to the computer are Police and Housing. Senior Center The increase for postage was approved earlier. The request for an additional person was not approved. Transit Because of addition of three buses to the fleet, another mechanic will be needed. Instead of an Asst. Transit Mgr., there will be a day superintendent and a night superintendent. Other Staff Not included in City Manager's recommendation. Cemetery Supt.

CEDAR RAPI05 �C6L 1 J r" 1 Informal Council Page 2 February 3, 1982 A group of interested citizens have indicated the need for a profession- al tree person. Council is interested in meeting with the group and will reserve money in the budget. Library -Sunday Service Concerns of the public were noted, and user fees in certain areas suggested. Erdahl suggested giving one-half of the funding for Sunday Service, with the Library to request voluntary contributions from the public for the other half. Due to time needed to get a project started, Council would totally fund Sunday Service for FY'83. (The City Manager had already given approval to expanded personnel as requested, and Council had approved that item.) In the future, Sunday Service will be seen as a basic service. Expanded Service levels not approved by the City Manager Airport Discuss at Captial Improvements Project discussion. ECICOG Council's commitment and position will be a priority for discussion at the next JCCOG meeting. HUMAN SERVICES AGENCIES MECCA Concerns regarding provision of funding Tor proposed program noted. Addition°additional funding ($1,800 to start- up grant of $3,200) to the contingency fund could provide for the Fair - meadows Neighborhood Center if the owners agree to a project. Transient Food Bank Berlin had discussed with Volm (United Way) the feasibility of using the Salvation Army process and will continue to look at this I ssue. It was suggested that in the future the Human Services Planner be given guidelines on the upper limits for agencies. Berlin thought that she had done this this year. REVENUE SOURCES AND REVENUE LEVELS Airport Addition of $5,000 as ease- i ment had been moved to CIP. Revenue Sharing Balmer asked that -the additional $67,000 funding be used for a capital expenditure, not oper- ating funds, to replace funding requiring property tax now. Park Fund Council discussed budgeting some money for a seed fund for purchase of park property. They remain committed to selling Elm Grove Park. If any trees are planted, the money would have to come from the trimming program. Vitosh noted Billie Hauber's previous concerns that the Staff could not maintain what trees they have now. TRUST AND AGENCY As paying for the insurances, $245,000 from Trust and Agency, 65,000 from the general fund), increases the levy for property tax, the amount put in T&A could be reduced, but other revenue would have to be found. To reduce the levy to 11.531, which would keep property tax at zero increase, we would be $894,000 short in revenue. Vitosh explained how the City is holding the line, the average of the two-year levy is 6.3%, less than inflation. Debt Service has increased because of the Library and the Plaza projects. Hote Motel tax would bring in C $55,000 if the Downtown Hotel were built. A raise in in fee from $2 to $3 a month will raise $124,000. Transit Fee Counc�l establish a policy on what our deficit will be next year when federal assistance ends, including a certain percentage for fares and a percentage from trans- it tax levy. Fares will cover 38% of operations cost for FY'83, and are covering 41% for FY'82. Balmer called attention to the proposed FY'83 budget, the City will still be subsidizing transit by one million dollars, and suggested that users should pay more of their share. A majority did not agree to a raise for FY83 in transit fare. Berlin noted that with the state reallocation of monies, we will have an emphasis on rural / sys terns .
