Section 106.11 of the Code of Iowa presently provides for boat mufflers. In addition, this provision has recently been amended so that the State Conservation Commission may adopt additional noise control rules. I have enclosed a copy of the amendment. In the past, the Riverfront Commission has been frustrated because the State Conservation Commission has preempted certain City control of the Iowa River. It appears that this provision would preclude a provision on motorboat no.ise in the City's noise control ordinance.

CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOWS I a LIM YtfT J _y r 1 % lM AMS i Z, California Tax Cuts Have Led To Higher New -Home Prices By Roeorr GUE,THnI Slaff Repartee of Txe WA" STneer JOURNAL ROPOSITION 13, passed in 1978, has eased the tax burden of California's property owners, but an unforeseen side-effect of the tax -cutting Initiative has been higher prices for new homes. Pinched for money, California communities have resorted to Iternative ways to pay for new parks, schools and streets. They Inge from the mundane, such as raising per - tit fees, to the more ingenious, such as requir- ig developers to pay for or set aside land for rgional parks. "It's the only way we have to make Im- rovements," says Michael Stepner, San Die- i's ie- is assistant planning director. Formerly, all of the taxpayers In a com- wnity would share in the capital costs of new schools and parks. ow the tab for such improvements is being paid by the buyers of aw homes. These added costs have helped make new houses In Call- ,rnia among the most expensive in the country. "In 1972, the cost of the average new home in California was bout the same as the national average. Today we're about $40,000 gher than the national average," says Donald Collin; legislative ,unset for the California Building Industry Association. HE MEDIAN PRICE of a new home in the state is $105,000 (half cost more, half less), compared with $69,000 for the na- tion as a whole, according to Kenneth Rosen, chairman of the Center for Real Estate and Urban Economics at Unlver- ty of California—Berkeley. He says the combination of Propositlon i and land -use controls has had "very significant" effects on hous- :g costs. "These effects are going to be widening as time goes on." Adds Peter Kremer, president of Irvine Co., the big real estate -veloper: "We're really In a new era in land development. The ided costs of Infrastructure are changing Ire risks and rewards in its business. Today developers are being asked to put in freeway :erchanges and flood -control channels. As a result, we're seeing it margins squeezed. It used to be that hard construction costs were of a home's sales price. Now It's 40% or even 3576 In some ices." Longer processing time also has added to housing costs. Where once took six months to gain approval for a subdivision, It now ,n take three years, Mr. Kremer says. During that time, the develo- r continues to pay Interest on his loans and gambles that the mar- �t will still be there when he is ready to build. Estimates on just how much lengthened processing time and iblic amenities inflate the cost of a California home vary by com. unity. However. Robert Morris, executive vice president of the San :ego Building Contractors Association, says the added cost In his ty is 520,000 or more. N PRICING THEIR HORSES, builders usually multiply the cost of an Improved lot by three to arrive at the selling price, Mr. Morris says. So any added costs for land development are a big influence on the type and price of homes that are built. Stephen Tate, vice president of the Baldwin Co., says that for a project his firm Is planning, San Diego is charging $5,100 a single- family home for schools and $4,000 a home for community facilities. As,a result, he says, the homes will start at about $125,000. The Construction Industry Research Board recently surveyed the fees and land set -asides for parks In California. Benjamin Barto- lotto, director of the board. says the Dark fee raneed frnm x s a — California planners acknowledge that longer processing time and Proposition 13 have added to housing costs, but they argue that some of the criticism distorts the facts. Says F.W. Olson, manager of the housing development and In- formation office for Orange County: "We recognize that delays cost money, but we aren't convinced that all of thedelays are on the county's side. If developers would listen to what the county is asking Instead of immediately arguing that things should be changed, I think there might be fewer delays." 0 RANGE COUNTY IS TRYING to speed up processing and hold down the cost of buying a home, Mr. Olson says. A number of breaks are avallablp to builders who agree to price 2506 of their units in developments low enough that families earning 12076 of the county's median income; or less, can afford to buy them. In return, the county will expedite the approval process for the builder, allow him to build at a higher density than normally permit- ted, relax parking requirements and Issue revenue bonds to aid in financing. Orange County also has eliminated requirements for cov- ered parking areas, such as carports, at home sites. "That saves 52,000 to $3,000 per parking space." Air. Olson says. Help also has come from the California legislature. Barry Law. rence, a Los Angeles attorney specializing in real estate, notes that developers now car, get courts to overturn communities' fees that are "unreasonable." And groups seeking to block construction of low - and middle -Income housing through the courts now can be required to post security to cover added costs that developers may Incur from the lawsuits. Concludes Mr. Morris of the San Diego contractors group, "There's a recognition that's starting to develop on the impact that all of these requirements can have on housing."

Iowa 50316 15151 265.9961 March 12, 1982 HOUSE DEBATES - PASSES ACIR The House has debated and passed on a 70-26 vote a bill to establish an Iowa Ad- visory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations. The commission would be charged with the responsibility to study and report on matters relating to local govern- ment structure, allocation of resources, relationships between state and local governments and interstate and area governmental problems. The commission would be composed of county officers, city officers, state executive officers, two state senators and two state representatives and school representatives. The latter category was amended into the bill despite vigorous debate that schools were not general purpose local governments nor was there any precedent at the national level to support their inclusion. The bill has now been passed out of the Senate Cities Committee to the Senatefloor for debate. The Cities Committee has amended the bill to provide that appointed city officials in addition to elected will be provided an opportunity to serve on the commission. GOVERNOR SIGNS TAX INCENTIVE BILL The Governor has signed HF 2171, a bill designed to bring Iowa law into compliance with new internal revenue code changes, and change the method of assessing machin- ery and equipment used by manufacturing and industry. Of particular interest to cities is the provision which would retroactively make all machinery and equipment purchased after January 1, 1982 assessed for tax pur- poses at only 300 of value. The remaining 70; would be picked up by the stateand returned to local government to avoid any revenue loss. Although the new assessment procedure begins on January 1, 1982, the first assess- ment for the new equipment and machinery would not take place until 1983 and would not be subject to tax until the fall and spring of 1984/85. Beginning in 1985, the state would reimburse local government for the amount of tax which would have been levied against the equipment and machinery. It is esti- mated that the first year cost (1985) to the state would be approximately $7.Omil- lion. The League has expressed serious reservations about the estimated impact on the state in 1985 and believes that the total figure could exceed the current estimate. lie are also concerned that subsequent General Assemblies will attempt to amend the bill and strike the state reimbursement portion because of the large commitment this could eventually mean to the state general fund. If that happens, cities would lose that property tax revenue. Although this bill has been signed, debate and consideration of the impact on local government is far from over and future General Assemblies will undoubtedly look to amending this bill next session. HOUSE PASSES LEGISLATION The House has passed HF 2386, an Act relating to the status and statutory responsi- bilities of legal or administrative entities created by 28E agreements. The bill was submitted by the state auditor's office because of an attorney gener- al's opinion (81-71-2(L)) which stated that there was no requirement that a con- tract entered into by a county solid waste commission be let pursuant to rublic bid procedures and that the only constraint on the commission was that established by the terms of the 28E agreement. Although the AGO dealt only with bid letting procedures, the bill adds an entire new subsection to Chapter 28E. As passed, an entity created under a 28E agreement shall comply with the same statutory procedural restrictions and requirements in- cluding, but not limited to, the preparation and implementation of budgets, audit of accounts and expenditures, competitive bidding and procurement procedures, and conduct of meetings the same as the designated primary parent agency. The League has raised issue with the legislation questioning whether the bill will serve as a deterrent to future 28E organizations because of the restrictive nature and scope of the bill being proposed. This seems counter-productive, especially at a time when local governments are looking for increased flexibility and cost- effective tools such as 28E agreements to consolidate services and save property taxes. 111ce9nuaEn BY JORM MICROLAB CCUaH RAPIDS UES MOVIES SM J r -2- A motion to reconsider has been filed in the House. The companion bill in the Senate is SF 2214 by the Committee on State Government. The League would urge you to contact your senators and make further inquiries about the scope and nature of this bill and ask them to explain what impact it might have on 28E organizations. If they cannot satisfactorily explain the justification and reasoning for the bill, you should ask them to delay further debate until satis- factory answers can be obtained. WAYS AND MEANS DEBATES INSURANCE FUND BILL The House Ways and Means Committee has debated HF 250, a bill which would author- ize cities to establish a fund to protect it against past and future losses aris- ing out of the acts or omissions of its officers or employees. As written the bill would allow a city to establish a fund not to exceed three mil- lion dollars to protect it from liability imposed upon it under the provisions of Chapter 613A. The bill originally stated that the fund may be financed out of the general fund or a separate tax levy in excess of any tax limitation imposed by statute. The fund could be used to pay liability claims, judgments and liability insurance pre- mium costs arising out of or incurred because of compliance with Chapter 613A. During debate, an amendment was offered by Rep. halter Conlon, R -Muscatine, which changed the permissive language of "may" to a "shall" provision and prohibited the city from levying outside the general fund. That amendment was adopted on a 16-11 vote at which time further action on the bill was delayed. SENATE TO DEBATE LAND USE The Senate will shortly begin debate of SF 2218, an Act relating to land use in Iowa. As written, the bill establishes a procedure for the development of recom- mendations to the General Assembly for a state land use policy. Those recommendations are developed by utilizing county commissions and the crea- tion of a state land use coordinating council. Each county commission would be charged with developing an inventory of land uses in each county and forwarding those recommendations to the state council which in turn would make recommendations to the General Assembly. The county commission would be composed of district soil conservation commissioners, representatives of the county board and representatives of the cities in each county. The bill is less than specific about the procedure for holding a convention of mayors and council persons for the purpose of selecting their representatives and requires that reimbursement for necessary expenses incurred in the performance of the members' duties shall be made by the unit of government that made that appoint- ment rather than the state. The bill goes beyond just an inventory of land in each county. It also authorizes counties to establish agricultural districts through zoning ordinances and proce- dures by which counties can establish, review, modify and terminate agricultural areas upon the petition of landowners. Once established, the ag districts or areas would be provided certain benefits and protections. Limitations are placed on special assessments, availability of nui- sance actions, condemnation and application of state and local regulations. Annex- ation is prohibited and a water use priority is provided for ag districts and areas and nothing else. The League has objected to various provisions in the bill which infringe on city authority regarding zoning, eminent domain, annexation, provisions which go far beyond the basic bill which is to undertake an inventory of land for furtherstudy. It is uncertain at this time what the House will do with this version of land use although it's almost certain that they will amend it. The basic purpose of the bill - to inventory land and its uses - is acceptable and desirable but the limitations on local government powers should be resisted. Legislators should be contacted and urged to amend the bill to provide only for a procedure to undertake an inventory of land and make recommendations to the General Assembly. CIVIL SERVICE BILL STILL AWAITING ACTION SB 722 and SF 354, bills to reform Chapter 400, the civil service laws for cities, are still awaiting action by the full House Cities Committee. Although successful in obtaining subcommittee approval on the House side; the League was advised that further action was uncertain unless the Senate provided assurances th-t they would debate the issue this session. M 7 J MICROFILMED BY JORM MIC ROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS OS OLS MINES 7 J r The League has attempted to obtain final action by the Senate Cities subcommittee but to date has been unsuccessful. One last try is needed on the Senate side to get the bill out of committee. Speci- fically, Sen. Carney (R -Sioux City) should be contacted and urged to support pas- sage out of committee. HOUSE COMMITTEE DRAFTS PENSION BILL The House State Government Committee is completing work on its version of legisla- tion for changes in the IPERS and public pension benefit programs for employees. The bill, House Study Bill 559, has been designed as a "no -cost" bill in response to SF 2178 (see last legislative bulletin) which makes sweeping changes in IPERS and Chapter 411 without any revenue to offset the cost to cities. Of particular importance to cities in the House version are provisions for five cities, Pella, Eldridge, Waverly, DeWitt and Knoxville, to come under the 411 system because of population changes and a schedule of covered wages which will go from $21,000 January 1, 1983 to $25,000 on January 1, 1987. There are no increases in the employer contribution rates in the House version al- though amendments are expected on the floor to include similar language to the Senate version which would raise employer rates from 5.75% to 6.25%. Other provisions of the bill would remove city attorneys as one of the members of the pension board under Chapter 411 and increases the citizen members to three (presently two). The committee also discussed a proposal to permit some 600 police officers in cities under 8,000 to retire on full benefits (49%) at the later of age 60 and after 25 years of service rather than satisfying the present requirement under IPERS of the later of age 65 and after 30 years of service. This change would have increased costs because pensions are payable over a longer future lifetime and because the funds to pay pensions must be accumulated over a shorter span of work years. For this group, the additional cost was estimated to be 3.1% of salary. If this were allocated to member and employer in the same pro- portions as the present total contribution, it would have become 4.9% for employee and 7.65% for the employer. Because the full cost impact on cities was not known, it was suggested that this become the focus for an interim study. From a cost standpoint, the House version is the preferrable of the two pension bills and you should encourage your state representative to resist any amendments which would mandate additional costs on local government without the state appro- priating money to offset the cost. SENATE DEBATES - DELAYS PENSION BILL SF 2178, a bill to amend Chapters 97 and 411 relating to public pensions, was de- bated and delayed because of the cost impact on the state general fund. Sen. John Murray (R -Ames) invoked Rule 37 which automatically sent the bill to the Senate Appropriations Committee for further study. The bill is similar in many ways to HSB 559 (see this bulletin) which is being prepared in the House. The Senate version carries no state appropriation to offset any costs mandated on cities. The Senate version also contains language which would bring the 600 employees in cities under 8,000 under the same pension provisions as Chapter 411. This lan- guage was contained in an amendment by Sen. John Nystrom (R -Boone) which was adopted before debate ended and the bill was sent to Appropriations Committee. The League would urge you to contact Sen. Murray at the statehouse (515/281-3371) and urge him to provide for state appropriated money for any and all costs man- dated on cities in the bill before it's passed back out of Appropriations Committee. HOUSE READIES FOR DEBATE ON OPEN MEETINGS SF 438, a bill to make employment applications confidential records and allow them to be discussed in closed session, has been placed on the House calendarfor debate. The bill passed last session in the Senate would allow employment applications for public positions to be maintained as confidential records and allows a govern- mental body to go into closed session when discussing the appointment or hiring of a person.

The bill has not been assigned a number as of this printing but will be placed on the Ways and Means Committee calendar for debate next week. HOUSE PASSES CURB AND GUTTER BILL The [louse has passed HF 2394, an Act relating to the replacement of curbing and guttering through the use of special assessments in cities under 10,000 population. The bill provides that in cities of less than 10,000 population, the replacement of curbing and gutters may be done without the use of engineers and permits the city council to levy the special assessments on a lineal foot basis. GASOHOL LEGISLATION ADVANCES The (louse and Senate Ways and Means Committees have taken action on two versions of legislation designed to reduce the draw -down on the road use tax fund because of the increasing sales of gasohol and the current price differential between gasohol and regular gasoline. The House Ways and Means proposal is a modification of the Governor's recommenda- tion which would provide for a phaseout by increasing the tax on gasohol over the next five years using 2 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 1 formula. This differs from the Senate version which would mandate that all gas sold con- tain a certain percentage of ethenol associated with its own phaseout formula. The League has supported an earlier phaseout of the tax exemption on gasohol because of the revenue lost to the road use tax fund and subsequent revenue to cities under its 18% formula share. It is expected that various amendments will be proposed to the legislation call- ing for different phaseout formulas and each will have to be reviewed for its impact on cities. Please watch for furtherdevelopments on this legislation. NEW BILLS OF INTEREST TO CITIES SENATE SF 2208 PUBLIC DEPOSITS (CO'T RCE CONEAIITTEE) This bill amends sections 453 and 454 to provide that the laws requiring the deposit of public funds in approved banks and establishing the state sinking funds for public deposits by cities and other entities by agreements under Chapters 2BE and 28F. SF 2227 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS (DELUHERY) Prohibits a city from commencing special assessment proceedings for street improvements of more than two traffic lanes effective July 1, 1982. The bill also provides that the cities may forgive exist- ing special assessments for streets of more than two traffic lanes and provide for their payment from other city funds. The bill has been assigned to the Senate Cities Committee and placed in a subcom- mittee of Holden, Readinger and Slater. SF 2228 HAZARDOUS WASTE (ANDERSON) Provides for technical assistance on hazardous waste issues to affected cities and counties and requires a facility that is granted a site license to pay a sum equal to one percent of the facility's gross receipts to the city or county in which the facility is located. SF 2231 ROAD EQUIPMENT (TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE) Allows the operation of road maintenance equipment to the right-hand lane and left-hand lane while engaged in specific maintenance operations on roads open to traffic. The bill also exempts state and local maintenance equipment from the size, weight and load limits in the Code. SJR 2003 CONSTITUTIONAL TAX LIMIT (CRAFT, ET AL) Bill would add a new article to tie constitution. A total revenue limit is established. This is one combined li- mit on all taxes and most other revenue of the state and all local governments. The limit is adjusted for inflation and population growth at an annual growth rate equal to the entire annual inflation rate plus state population change shown by federal census. Revenues above the limit may be authorized by 1) two-thirds vote of the General Assembly with Governor's approval or 2) by majority vote of the people in a state or local referendum. 141 CROP ILI4CD BY JORM MICROLAS CEDAR RAPIDS • DES VINES -Y94 1 J 'r r -5- HOUSE HF 2403 ESSENTIAL CORPORATE PURPOSE BONGS (CITIES COhAfITTEE) Bill includes in the definitions o essential corporate purpose t e acquisition, construction, recon- struction, improvement, repair, and equipping of waterworks, water mains and ex- tensions, and the real and personal property, useful for providing potable water to residents of a city.

Being a neighbor of yours, I am familiar with your jurisdiction. From 1948 to April 1965 I was employed at Printing Service at the University of Iowa. We lived in Iowa City for approximately eight years before moving to Riverside. Iowa City has been our major shopping area for these years. I realize the City Assessor has a qualified Deputy employed. If you are con- sidering hiring someone other than the Deputy, I would be available for an interview at your con- venience.

Keith Borchart 311 Iowa State Bank & Trust Iowa City, Iowa 52244 Dear Mr. Borchart, In response to your notification of a vacancy in the position of Iowa City Assessor, I feel I am a well qualified candidate who will make a fine public servant for the citizens of Iowa City. During my five years of assessment experience in the Mason City and Cerro Gordo County Assessorsts offices, I have continued to excell in the functions and responsibilities given me. In 1977, I began appraising single family residences, and in 1980 1 appraised a new industrial building in Clear Lake, Iowa. In the fall of 1980, 1 personally reappraised all commercial property in Clear Lake for assessed values as of January 1, 1981. I also established land values of all residential, commercial, and industrial property in Clear Lake for 1981 assessments. I am familiar with the use of computers and was involved with the search and setting up of the current Burroughs 8-1800 computer system in the Cerro Gordo County Court House. Being acquainted with the computer in the Cerro Gordo County Court House, I have seen the valuable use of the system in the assessment and taxa- tion process. I have successfully passed the Iowa Department of Revenue test for the position of City or County Assessor and am certified until April 4, 1983 with a score of 79%- As you can see on my data sheet, I firmly believe in the continuing education of assessors as mandated by the Iowa Legislature. In July 1980, I was accepted by the International Association of Assessing Officers as a candidate for the Certified Assessment Evaluator (CAE) designation. This is the highest designation in the assessment field and is recognized worldwide. I have just completed a 73 -page narrative appraisal of a single family y�7 14ICROf TIMED B,, YJOR,, ..CEDAR RAPIDS -ODES DINERS -_i •� L� n residence and have only to complete a commercial narrative appraisal to achieve the CAE designation.
