APPLICATIONS TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 142-1065 Rezone Highlander Piro erV Knight explained the request. Balmer asked that information %gar id'ng the previous consideration be sent to new Councilmembers. The Planning and Zoning Commission did not want to tie the sewer problem to the rezoning request, but to consideration of the preliminary plat. Berlin advised that a draft sewer agreement is being considered by representatives of the Highlander, Westinghouse, Grolmus Estate and the City. "Rezone Country Kitchen property A larger sign can be installed in a C2 zone. There is a nationwide change in signage for Country Kitchen buildings. The Comprehensive Plan indicates a commercial zone. It was suggested that non- controversial areas be identified and brought in in groups to comply with the Comprehensive Plan. City Atty. Jansen stated that he would have an interim report regarding the zoning ordinance to give to Planning and Zoning next week, and to Council after that. i Vacation of Maiden Lane The property has been appraised at $26,500. Items 3c and 3d on the agenda should be considered in reverse order.

Sueppel advised that he would ask for deletion of the item from the agenda. REQUEST FROM HACAP FOR FUNDING Human Services Planner Pam Ramser discussed the effect of the proposed cuts in federal funding on the HACAP programs. Other agencies have also been asked for contributions. Bill Porter and Margaret Stevens were present.

AGENDA/COUNCIL BUSINESS 1065-1255 1. Appointments. As Erdahl is ill, appointments will not be considered. Perret also asked for deferral of the resolutions on the Mercy Hospital industrial revenue bonds. The public hearing will be held. 2. Regarding the correspondence from the Iowa Peace Network, Balmer pointed out that Council's policy has been to not comment on national issues. Neuhauser stated that the resolution would be considered on the March 30th agenda. 3. Councilmembers discussed who would attend the Cable TV Triannual Review on Wed. April 7th. If Erdahl cannot, Lynch will attend. (It was later determined that the meeting was on Tues.,April 6th, a regular Council meeting night.) 4. Balmer commented that staff should have not removed the taxi -stand on the south side of the 400 block of E. College until it was determined that no company wanted it. 5. Balmer asked for clarification of the Resolution withdrawing a 1973 pro- gram application for the Ralston Creek watershed. Berlin replied that altho a detailed application was submitted later also, none of the programs y were eligible under existing programs. 6. Neuhauser announced that the Resolution Authorizing Occupancy of the Second Floor of the Senior Center for City Office Space on a Temporary Basis would be deferred until March 30th so Erdahl could be present to vote on it. 7. Perret called attention to the Mayor's letter to area legislators regarding Senate File 2178, re IPERS, and stated that as a member of Council Legis- lative Committee, he would like to have been consulted. The Mayor agreed that he should have been. 8. The Mayor reported on discussion at a League of Municipalities Board meeting concerning the Boulder Decision regarding the Anti-trust and its ramifica- tions regarding regulation of taxicabs and the Attorney General's concerns. Members will be interested in Iowa City's rewrite which will include safety concerns of cars and drivers. Another concern the Attorney General will address is the exclusive rights of fixed -base operators at airports. MERCY HOSPITAL Several representatives were present from Mercy Hospital 1255-2116 Atty. Robert Downer called attention to a couple misunderstandings in City Attorny Jansen's opinion dated 3/3/1982. Perret questioned the cost of the helistop. It will be $100,000, 3/10th of 1% of the total project cost. There will be no contracts for helicopter services. Garrett explained the present problems encountered to move patients between hospitals. Differences in levels of services for both hospitals were explained by Sister Mary Venarda. Martin Meisel explained and presented drawings of the parking ramp to be built between Dodge St. & Johnson Street, east of the hospital, 240 spaces, 2 levels. The entrance on Dodge St. will exit on the alley, the entrance on Johnson St. will exit on Johnson St. Drawings and slides will be presented at the formal public hearing. Staff discussed how a helistop could be permitted in a resi- dential zoning. Downer commented that now a special permit is required to be obtained from Council under Chapter 4.1 of the Municipal Code. Schmeiser suggested not amending the Code to allow this use in a residential zone, but to seek a variance from the Board of Adjustment. Staff has not been asked for an analysis of the impact of the helistop on the neighborhood. In the rewrite 141CROFILMED BY .1 JORM MICR+LAO j CEDAR RAPIDS •DES MDI4E5 i � _y r Page 3 Informal Council March 15, 1982 of the Noise Ordinance, airplane noise was not delineated for noise control, Jansen said. Berlin thought that the City couldn't regulate noise level for airplanes, but could say where airplanes could land. Relating to financing, Atty. Downer explained the 3.8 million Debt Service, a reserve required, held by the trustee, an amount equal to one year's principal and interest payments; the Interest Reserve, payment of interest on bonds, which are made until areas of the hospital being constructed can generate income. This issue is being handled differently from other bond issues as it relates to reserves, because it is a public offer, this is an added protection. Nuveen, in conjunc- tion with Securities Corporation of Iowa, Cedar Rapids, will purchase the issue. There will be an indenture trustee because of the size of the issue. They will invest the funds and see to it that the agreements made are fulfilled. Perret asked, that Finance Director Vitosh give an opinion on the following points: 1) refinancing of existing debt, 2) debt service, and 3) construction interest reserve. Downer explained Penn Mutual Life Ins. Co.'s stand on the refinancing of the existing debt. They are continuing negotiations. Berlin stated that he would ask Vitosh to comment, in writing, on the suitability of these reserves. Use of the alley by ambulances would be for exiting from the hospital, in non -emergency situations. The purchase of Central Junior High School property is not connected with this bond issue. Perret thought that Council was depart- ing from the criteria used in their industrial revenue bond policy, as this issue does not increase the tax base of the City or provide any additional employ- ment. Construction would take place from July 1982 to May 1984. The hospital has one of the highest utilization rates in Iowa, over 80% occupancy rate. Bonds will be paid back thru hospital revenues. Room rates will raise $30 per day (over present rate of $140 per day), using the Industrial Revenue Bonds. Additional costs if I.R. Bonds are not used on this project would be another $16.50 on a patient per -day basis. Some moveable equipment and furnishings will be purchased. The public hearing will be held tomorrow night.

SOUTH14EST AREA STUDY This is the first of seven area studies, with suggestions for both short- 230-700 range n s. Issues dicussed included: the imact o Freeway 518, theaHighwaynI interchanges and the limited sewer capacityf annexation, deannexation and schools. Schmeiser stated that in the short run, Staff is not recommending expansion of the 10" Willow Creek Trunk Sewer line by expending any City funds. Ralph Stouffer pointed out that it would cost approximately $18,000 to upgrade the 10" line.. This would open up the whole west side area. If a developer wishes to pay for over- size sewer line, staff and Council could consider a development. The staff will bring in major policy issues for Council discussion for this area and Northeast Iowa City. One area to deannex was pointed out on the map, south of Rohret Road. i Schmeiser has discussed a policy of trying to discourage a lot of children - bearing residential development where capacity in existing elementary schools r does not exist and encourage it where it does exist, with the Schoolboard # and Dr. Cronin.
