COUNCIL BUSINESS
1. Balmer advi'sed.that he would not be able to attend the meeting at the
Highlander with Boards and Commissions.
2. Berlin explained that the Franchise Study was the result of the National
Science Foundation Grant given to prepare information for cities in
Iowa about to enter into negotiation of franchises. The Committee,
Berlin, Dickson and Perret will meet with Atty. Jansen and decide where
to go from here.
FY'83 BUDGET INFORMATION & CIP DECISIONS
Berlin reviewed what he thought Council had settled previously relating to
capital improvement projects: the amount of $300,000 would remain in the
budget, and the decision on where to use asphalt overlay would be made later
this Spring; there was agreement to go ahead with plans for the Iowa Avenue
Bridge and the Burlington Street Bridge, but hold off on construction; there
was agreement to construct the Camp Cardinal Bridge with federal assistance
for funding. There were no objections.
Regarding cost figures for the Melrose Court Improvements•, Berlin provided
the two -gear old costs of $40-50 thousand for sidewalk and retaining wall,
or $80-100 thousand with addition of curbs and gutters. If both parts of
the project are to be done, they should be done at the same time. The
same kind of project is proposed for Kimball Road possibly under the special
assessment process (paid by property owner). Kimball Road is not in a
Neighborhood Improvement District.
Balmer called attention to the explanation regarding the vacant position
in Parks and Recreation in regard to the Forestry position. Berlin advised
that Showalter had no objection to this approach. Discussion of this issue
will be put on the pending list. Vitosh clarified the amount added for the
Library, $22,515. It was the amount for the alternative to the first prior-
ity of the Library Board. The Sunday Service was included in the City Mana-
ger's expanded service level at $19,750 in the original budget, page viii.
In the handout on receipts, the amount shown for the Library includes the
County contract, and these receipts come into the general fund. The
Library's fund-raising efforts (gifts & bequests) are non -budgeted funds.
Vitosh will provide a memo regarding these amounts which are in a trust
account, and how they are expended.
Balmer asked that under Finance Administration where property tax receipts
are listed in the final budget,that the areas where property tax will be
used be shown in detail. Erdahl pointed out that the $3,200 added to the

contingency fund for Human Services Agency was to be added to the lump sum
and not specifically tagged for the Fairmeadows project. The possibility
of using a portion of the lump sum for Mayors Youth. or Fairmeadows projects,
however, was discussed.
Berlin pointed out that the FY82 salary figures shown as distributed in the
memo, are salary figures only, not including health insurance, FICA, IPERS,
or longevity, but in the proposed budget for FY83, the salaries include
the fringes and appear as Personal Services. The Space Study will be
discussed in conjunction with the remodeling of the Police Dept. in CIP.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
Using the memo of December 4, 1981 which presented the CIP program and
priorities, Council started discussion with items in Table 1.
1. Bus Maintenance Building The funding was deleted for FY83, as discussions
with MTA regarding funding are encouraging and planning will then be
in conjunction with financing of the transit system (Item 30).
2. Remodel Police Department Berlin advised that carpeting, lighting and
ceiling repair can a done out of this year's budget, so the FY83 fund-
ing can be deleted.
2a. Space Study Erdahl wanted to make the Civic Center building accessible
if any expansion was done, and questioned if only the fire station was=.
built, how the elevator for the Civic Center could be put in. Berlin
thought there would be a way to do it. The problems regarding parking
if Civic Center lot were used for construction were noted. It was
suggested that Chauncey Swan Lot or the new area just purchased at the
Recreation Center could be used. Costs for sites not city owned but
centrally located were discussed. The Mayor proposed that Council
.continue looking at Alternative N3, but without rejecting Alternative
92 as a possibility, and put in the CIP in the next 3 to 5 years, the
money for a new fire station at least. This expenditure would be
subject to a referendum, so Council cannot positively commit themselves,
so if offices are raved to the Senior Center, it will depend on what
comes out of a referendum on the fire station as to what will happen
next. There was consensus for the commitment as outlined by the Mayor.
To Balmer's question if the Fire Dept. moved out, would there be enough
space to expand the Police Dept. and move planning people back, the
City Manager replied that there would be. Cost estimates for construc-
tion were noted. Annual operating costs after expansion were requested.
Neuhauser noted that these should be provided for any new capital project.
As Councilmembers were uncertain about the actual allocation of space,
Berlin will ask Newman to go one more step and refine the planning.
3. Traffic Enaineerino-Service Sav Renovation Schmadeke noted that space
is currently adequate, and this project depends on the transit project.
Vitosh advised that a phased project with use of Road Use Tax in the
future is a possibility. So FY83 funding will be deleted.
4. Camp Cardinal Road Bridoe. 5250,000 will be added to FY83, city share
is $50,000. Delete amounts in FY85 and FY86.
5. Dod a St Ralston Creek Storm Sewer Project Schmadeke stated that the
sewer had co apsed. Funding in FY83 wIlr remain.

TAPE-RECORDED on Reel #82-5, Side 1, 2600 -End, and Side 2,,1- 908.
REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR PARCEL 64/1 2600 -End
City Manager Belin introduced consultant Don Zuchelli and listed his
experience in a variety of downtown redevelopment projects, and explain
ed that he has worked for Iowa City for six to seven years. Zuchelli
commented on the footage requirements needed for a hotel and for a
department store in relation to Block 64. He stated that to implement
Council's policy for full service downtown, a hotel is necessary,.and
also stated that a downtown hotel was a viable project.: It would need
20,000 ft -for it's footpad.
Zuchelli stated that universally department stores.have departed from "
conventional design, moving toward a four -wall configuration, for a
variety of reasons. Regarding timing, he noted that any department
store would want to occupy a new facility to take advantage of the fall
and Christmas season business, which accounts for approximately 60% of
their business.
Perret commented that new decisions had to be made for re -use of Parcel
64/1. Erdahl asked that during discussion Council talk about"a competi-
tive department store," not Armstrongs. Armstrongs was the only bidder
for the department store in the previous bid which was just withdrawn by
Plaza Towers Associates, but have presented a preliminary schematic
for design review. Erdahl thought that Council should tell the consultant
what they want, and questioned how to mix private and public uses in a
package.
Zuchelli suggested that Staff be instructed to do two things, to design a
concept for joint use on the site, with flexibility of using the 10' on
Dubuque, Linn and College, maybe even up to the fire line, and use Parcel
82-1b; and to present a time schedule on how the process would work.
The prospectus would give 30 days to rebid the parcel, under Atty. Hayek's
guidance, and would not be just word changes from the previous prospectus.
Perret questioned if 30 days would be adequate for other department stores
to make a competitive bid. Neuhauser suggested a 30 -day period in which
department stores could show an interest in bidding, if more than one
store was interested, the time could be extended. Zuchelli commented
that previously it was the City who needed the 120 days to find a bidder,
and during the 30 days he could negotiate with any department store.
City Manager Berlin pointed out that the new process that Zuchelli will
give Council will be different and will give Council a role on the front-
end to make decisions on what happens on the site before they go into the
bidding process,

Erdahl questioned if there could be other possible uses of the site besides•
the department store and hotel. He did not want to be rushed into a deci-
sion. Zuchelli urged Council to reinforce the previous public policy of
joint development of the site, and to achieve this by talking about or defin-
ing a demarcation on -the -site line to allow two business deals to proceed,
financially independent of each other, but coordinated in design thru the
use of the renewal plan back to the City where the City can protect the
public interests involved in the plan, and to create a process which is re-
flected in the land value for the further involvement of the City is carry-
ing the process out that gives the expertise to the City to deal with those
two independent entities on a common site.
After discussion of alternative uses, Neuhauser commented that Council's
intention was for Zuchelli to come back with design possibilities fora com-
bination Hotel/department store/plus on this lot. Zuchelli stated that
very few cities argue when a department.store wants to come in,:and Council
i
should reflect on what Iowa: City has achieved so far.
Zuchelli asked Council to acknowledge then that he should l) start a design,.
process that is, going to'be intensive under duress and come back with
solutions for an envelope;,density and all other issues.talked about,.and
2) to start putting together a negotiating process. that is sequential that
is tied backto a timing schedule and program that is coming back to Council.'
There were no objections. Costs, for Zuchelli's services will.b
the developers and.the"City.

Absent: Balmer
Mayor Pro tem Perret advised that the format for the meeting would be simple.
Each person representing a Board or Commission would go over the activities
of the past year, and those contemplated for the future.
Airport Commission Chairperson Jan Redick stated that the Airport had four
areas of concern; fiscal responsibility, impact on surrounding neighborhood,
safety considerations, and physical plant itself. She said the most important
thing they had done was to hire a full-time Airport Manager. She discussed
generation of income,.communication with the public, grant for noise
pollution, the new weather station, designation of Runway 6-24 as preferential
runway, and commented that they are renegotiating the lease with the fixed -
base operator.
Zonin Board of Adjustment Boardmember John Mulligan explained the. powers
of this puasi-Judicia body, and outlined several variances requested. He
pointed out the need for the new zoning ordinance and map.
Mayor Mary Neuhauser arrived, 4:40 P.M. and presided for the rest of the
meeting.
Board of Electrical Examiners and A eals Chairperson Rick Chambers advised
that in 1981, 66 app icants a EF
tested. Their special project this
year has been the updating of the Electrical Code. In '82 they project fewer
applicants. They will be updating the licensing examinations. The overall
goal is the improvement of quality of electrical work.
Board of Librar Trustees President Ed Zastrow commented on the 50% increase
in growth of direct public services since the opening of their new facility
in June of 1981. Numerous efficiencies are a result of the computer. They
will reopen on Sunday afternoons starting in October to May. They have
$50,000 in the Gifts & Bequests fund, of which one-half will be used for
the collection, and one-half will be held in abeyance. Volunteers give them
the equivalent of three full time employees. They have held the first
teleconference by satellite. They also received the Chamber of Commerce
Economic Development Award this year. An explosion of growth is unforseen.
Broadband Telecommunications Commission Acting Chairperson Bill Terry
explained the purpose of their Commission, noting that they were fortunate
to have Bill Pepper on the Commission. There have been 350 requests for
use of the Access Channel. The City receives 3% of Hawkeye's revenue.
A national assiciation will hold their convention here in April. He com-
mented on the good cooperation between the company, the city and the commun-
ity. Hawkeye will present CBS Cultural Channel on 18, at the end of March.

Informal Council
February 17, 1982
Civil Service Commission Chairperson Jane Anderson explained the duties
of the Commission, and how the examinations and interviews had been standard-
ized. Four days were spent in interviewing for the Police and Fire vacancies.
Impressive improvements have been made in the relevancy of the examinations.
Having an attorney as a commissioner has also aided them. Lynch related
the policy that Council will be implementing regarding public recognition
for Commissioners when they have completed a term. Several Boards and
Commissions have been using a certificate. Jane is completing her six-year
term on the Commission. She stated that the average I.Q. in persons tested
is 15 to 18 points higher than the average jurisdiction.
Committee on C2TTuhitV Needs Chairperson Margaret Bonney requested that
members to their committee be appointed for more than two years, so that
there is continuity on the committee. In '81 they reviewed fifty projects,
held neighborhood meetings, in preparation for the three-year grant. The
grant has now been decreased once and possibly will be again in '82. A
task force was formed for'Historic Structures. In 182 they will monitor the.
Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Project. $209,000 will need to be reallo-
cated due to houses not purchased. The major need is housing for the low
and; moderate income persons. Bonney was directed to talk over proposed
change regarding length of term of members and make a recommendation to
Council's Rule Committee.
Design Review Committee Chairperson Nancy Seiberling stated the purpose of
their Committee was to make recommendations to Council. She reported on -
the accomplishments for FY'81, several in the area of Old Capitol Center
She called attention to an exhibition on March 2nd -Old Buildings, New Uses.
It was pointed out that Council had tentatively made a decision to be in-
volved with development and design of Block 64 and to work more closely
with.the Design.Review Committee on it. Seiberling commented that the
reason groups come to Iowa City was to make.a good investment on their money.
Regarding a more formalized Committee structure, Seiberling suggested hand-.
I ing matters the way they are doing now.
Housing Commission Chairperson Goldene Haendel noted that it had been a
very busy year for the Commission and thanked Council and Staff for their
help. She recommended a session on the.function of other boards and com-
missions be held by each board or commission, as the one they held proved
very helpful. On March 10th there will be a meeting regarding congregate
housing. A central clearing house is needed to deal with problems from
the Crisis Center and Domestic Violence programs.
Parks and Recreation Commission Commission Member David Wooldrik reported
on their goo to purchase parkland, noting the tremendous number of people
who participate in their programs. A new program for basketball in the
grade schools has been started by Dr. Fred Riddle and has been so success-
ful.that programs will need to be started in other schools. People are
spending leisure time closer to home. Another goal is a new swimming pool
in City Park and he stated that credit should be given to Bob Howell and
crew for keeping the old pool repaired. The Commission has discussed re-
placement of the pool just west of the site of�the current pool. 168,500
persons used the city pools last year, and City Park pool was down over
the Fourth of July. He asked that Council consider budgeting $78,000 of
maintenance costs for equipment, fuel, etc. for equipment not directly
used in the parks; to some other account. Wooldrik announced a tour of
the parks on March 19th.

Planntin, and Zoning Commission Chairperson John Seward acknowledged
that they received a great deal of support from Planning and Programming
Development staff. As terms of many Commissioners have ended, their
Commission is in the process of building experience. He outlined their
responsibilities and mentioned some of the recommendations regarding land
use including Melrose Corridor and Mobile Home Ordinance. Regarding
plans for FY'82, they will review impact of the new sewer facilities on
the east side; they hope to see fruition of the new ordinance on zoning;
noting that the .date for it's review with the City Attorney has been
extended. He explained that the tree ordinance has requirements to
protect existing trees, and the zoning ordinance will be amended regarding
screening requirements. Erdahl requested an update on regulations for
trees in subdivisions. Perret suggested that P&Z work with other com-
missions on land use, mentioning the River Corridor overlay zone, mandatory
park dedication and involvement of energy conservation.
Resources Conservation Commission Vice -Chairperson Nancy Sheehan noted
they were an advisory body and have no- routine issues to deal with.
They need discussion of long-term strategy on what their Co!nmission
should be doing. She discussed several energy conservation recommendations
made including having traffic signals go to flashing mode after midnite,
and request for consideration in the new subdivision code to orient
streets east/west for south exposure for houses. Bill Terry asked why
low sodium street lights were not used more extensively. The, Mayor
advised that this would be looked into as a part of the franchise dis-
cussion with Iowa -Illinois Gas & Elec. Sheehan advised that the Com-
mission had volunteered to be involved regarding energy decisions
concerning the franchise. One commissioner's employer is Ia.-Ill.
Riverfront Commission Commission member Howard Sokol related the respon-
sibi sties of t e Commission. They have no funding and part-time staff.
An issue is that what they recommend usually costs Parks and Recreation
money to maintain. They aim to be the conscience of the City and are
working on an ordinance to resolve conflict on uses in the river as the
present ordinance is unenforceable. They are concerned over the safety
of joggers and bicyclists on Rocky Shore Drive. Funding was discussed.
Sokol asked that the Braverman offer in the Sturgis Ferry area be firmed
up. He was directed to forward a recommendation from the Commission again.
Perret called attention to the recommendations in the Stanley Plan. Some
Councilmembers are not familiar with this plan.
Senior Center Vice -Chairperson Margaret Clover listed the Commission's
response 1 sties, and noted the Grand Opening of the Center. The
operational handbook is completed. 90 volunteers give 700 hours a
month to aid in provision of services for the Eldercraft Shop; the
newspaper and Congregate Meals. They have a concern to discuss later
with Council regarding parking for these volunteers.
There were no representatives present from the Human Rights Commission,
the Board of Examiners of Plumbers, and the Board of Appeals (Building
Code). Mayor Neuhauser stated she was impressed with all the activities
going on in the Community. McDonald added his appreciation for all the
time and effort put in by all Commissioners, and asked that this appreci-
ation be relayed to the Commissioners not present. He also stated that
the meeting was extremely beneficial, instead of just reading reports.

HOSPITAL FACILITY REVENUE BONDS �L�t

The City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, j
(the "Issuer") will meet on the 2nd day of March,
1982, at the Civic Center, in Iowa City, Iowa, at
7:30 o'clock, p.m., for the purpose of conducting a
public hearing on the proposal to issue Hospital
Facility Revenue Bonds (Mercy Hospital Project) of
the Issuer, in one or more series, in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $23,000,000 (the
"Bonds"), and to loan said amount to Mercy
Hospital, Iowa City, Iowa, an Iowa nonprofit
corporation (the "Hospital"), for the purpose of
defraying the cost, to that amount, of the
acquisition of land, the construction and equipping
of parking facilities, the construction and
equipping of a new hospital wing and the renovation
and equipping of the Hospital's existing hospital
facilities (the "Project") to be located within the
corporate boundaries of the Issuer, and the
retiring of certain existing indebtedness of the
Hospital (which existing indebtedness consists of
notes payable to Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company
given to evidence indebtedness incurred in
connection with constructing a previous addition
and improvements to the Hospital's facililties).
It is estimated that Bonds of one series in an
amount not to exceed $20,400,000 will be issued to
construct, acquire and equip the Project and that
Bonds of another series in an amount not to exceed j
$2,600,000 will be issued to retire the existing +
indebtedness of the Hospital. These estimates i
include in each instance expenses related to the
issuance of the Bonds and the establishment of ! 1
necessary reserve funds in connection therewith.
The Bonds, if issued, will be limited obligations
and will not constitute general obligations of the i
Issuer nor will they be payable in any manner by
taxation, but the Bonds will be payable solely and
only from amounts received by the Issuer under a
Loan Agreement between the Issuer and the Hospital,
the obligation of which will be sufficient to pay
the principal of and interest and redemption -
premium, if any, on the Bonds as and when the same
shall become due.
At the time and place fixed for said public hearing
all local residents who appear will be given an
opportunity to express their views for or against
the proposal to issue the Bonds of either or both
series, and at the hearing or any adjournment
thereof, the Issuer shall adopt a resolution
determining whether or not to proceed with the
issuance of each series of the Bonds. Should the
City Council determine to proceed with the issuance
of both series of said Bonds, it also may consider a
resolution to issue said Bonds as a single series.

ORDINANCE AMENDING HOUSING CODE/ORDINANCE AMENDING ELECTRICAL CODE 622-818

out that the local amendments to the Electrical Code were developed and reviewed
by the Electrical Licensing Board with the City Attorney present. Several mis-
takes in the previous codification were corrected. Perret questioned the safety
of the decrease in the number of egress -required for a second floor, from 2 to 1.
as explained on page 3 of the memo. Kucharzak advised that this was intended to

USE OF LAND NEAR SOUTH BRANCH DAM/PARK 818-1186
Showalter explained the student project, a design for what could be done with
the land adjacent to the south branch of Ralston Creek Dam. A map of the area,
49 acres, with a planned format was shown. It included open space, picnic area,
three soccer fields, parking. Lease of some of the land last year for raising
alfalfa earned the City $850. The area is flat and would not need much grading.
Soccer fields would have to be seeded and maintained by mowing. Six soccer
fields are needed. Showalter would like to phase out the Willow Creek soccer
fields. Composition of soil was noted. Picnic tables would be anchored in
concrete, steel frames with fiber tops. Berlin suggested that if Councilmembers
thought this design deserved further consideration. that Showalter would discuss
it with the Parks and Recreation Commission for a phased -in development, and
get their recommendation and possible costs. All Councilmembers thought the
project was very interesting and agreed to have Parks & Rec. Comm. consider
the ideas.
