INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION
APRIL 12, 1982
INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION: April l2, 1982, 4:30 P.M. in the Conference
Room at the Civic Center. Mayor Mary Neuhauser presiding.
COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT: Neuhauser, Balmer, McDonald, Erdahl, Dickson,
Helli3r
ng,Boothroy,Jansen, Showalter, Schmadeke, Hauer, et -4:45 PM. Staffmeers resent: BMilkman, Hencin,
Seydel.
TAPE-RECORDED ON Reel H82-9, Side 1, 1-1730.
COUNCIL BUSINESS
1. City Clerk Stolfus pointed out that two applicants were present to request 1-20
addition to the agenda for 4/13, Class C Liquor for Kitty Hawk, 800 S.
Dubuque and Class B Beer, Starport, 18 S. Clinton. After determining
that the applications were in order, the Council agreed to the addition
to the agenda.
2. Balmer questioned who reviewed the applications for advertising on the
buses. City Manager Berlin noted that the Transit Manager does, but if
he has a problem, he notifies the City Manager. All Councilmembers
present concurred with Jansen's recommendation in memo in the packet.
Councilman Lynch arrived, 4:34 P.M.
APPLICATIONS TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
P&Z action on the PAD for Lot 6, Aspen Lake Subd. will be available
before Council holds the public hearing. Boothroy noted.
Manufactured Housing Residential Zone
Staff is working on prefered alternatives for screening requirements.
These will be added to the ordinance before the first consideration is
given. Erdahl requested that members of the committee, park owners and
attorneys be given notice of Council consideration. Boothroy pointed
out previous notice given to those concerned with this issue.
Zoning Code Interpretational Panel
McDonald asked for more information on the recommendation from P&Z on
the proposed ZCIPanel for interpretation of the zoning code. Berlin
outlined concerns, and stated that they need to come up with a process
or mechanism to provide official interpretations of zoning ordinance,
so there is closer coordination and cooperation between those of the
staff who have some role in the process.
Councilman Perret arrived, 4:45 P.M.
WEED ORDINANCE
Showalter explained the reason for recommending the change at this time
was to force people to take care of violations. These can occur on un-
developed lots in subdivided land. A developer can declare a permanent
natural area on a plat. Jansen pointed out language that substitutes
assessment of costs instead of present regulations. They also want to
take the fees out of the ordinance and prepare a resolution. Council
will give first consideration, and delete fee requirements. Resolution
for fees will be presented later.

AIRPORT COMMISSION ORDINANCE CHANGE 200-215
City Attorney Jansen reported that the change being made for the appointment
of Airport Commissioners would not apply to the Library Board. Balmer clari-
fied his previous comment suggesting that for uniformity, both autonomous
agencies should have the same rules regarding appointments, and to change
the regulations regarding the appointments to the Library Board also. Lynch
advised notifying both agencies of this proposal. Council decided to proceed
with the adoption of the change for the Airport Commission.
PROSPECTUS FOR PROPOSED DEPTARTMENT STORE, BLOCK 64-1a 215-574
City Mgr. Berlin requested consideration of two issues, 1) shall previous
procedures used for authorizing receipt of bids be followed, and 2) the
question of the time element for bidding period. Several alternatives,:
including the motion adopted by the Ad Hoc Committee, were discussed. A
majority of Councilmembers agreed on 40 days for the bid period. Perret
called attention to deviations from previously discussed issues, as shown
in the architectural renderings, not approved by the Committee or Council.
The fire lane on College Street will remain. Hauer questioned if the final
paragraph on Page 9 of the prospectus reflected Council's discussion. All
agreed that it did. A resolution authorizing bids -will be added to the agenda.
JOINT DISCUSSION-W_ITH COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY NEEDS 574-1500
Several handouts and memos were noted from Hencin, Schmadeke 8 CCN. Neuhauser
spoke regarding communication problems between the Council and the Committee
regarding allocation of funds. Council feels a commitment to go ahead with
the North Branch Ralston Creek Dam Project, and has discussed funding the
acquisition of land with general obligation bonds, and funding construction
with Block Grant funds. Margaret Bonney, Chrp. of CCN related actions taken
by the Committee regarding their goals and objectives. Comm. McCormick noted
the stress now put on involvement by and benefit to citizens, instead of to
the City. The north branch project has been held up by a lawsuit. Next
year CCN would like instructions by written communication from Council re
allocation of funds. Changes made in this year's allocations should be made
known by Council to those affected. Erdahl pointed out addition of park
land with acquisition of Regina and Gatens properties. For the North Branch
Ralston Creek Dam: Project, land::acquisiton costs amount to $787,000, and
total construction -.costs are $760,00!1. $61,000 for the sewer project can be
subtracted from this amount. CCN recommendation of an additional funding of
$71,205 was noted. $181,000 was saved in the Lower Ralston Creek Project by
not purchasing properties, and could be used for the North Branch R.C. Dam,
$435,000 has previously been allocated. Several alternatives regarding
allocation of fundings and costs were suggested. A majority of Councilmembers
agreed to take the $181,000'and the $71,205 out of the Block Grant funds for
additional funding for the North Branch R.C. Dam. Revision of priorities for
the CDBG projects for program year 1982 will be necessary with approximately
$407,000 available for reallocation. In a year or so, revenue from the sale
of properties in the Lower Ralston Creek Project will be put back into the
block grant program funds.
APPOINTMENT TO THE LIBRARY BOARD
City Clerk Stolfus related problems regarding use of the present application
forms used for vacancies on Boards and Commissions. Changes agreed to by Council
included changing language re time limit for submission so that it reads,

"Council prefers that all applications be submitted------"; adding language 1500-1564
"This application will be considered for current vacancies only.", and
deletion of wording regarding the one-year period. The language regarding
current vacanies should be reflected in the advertisement also. Also to make
it clear that if a person wishes to be considered for a future vacancy,
another application would be necessary at that time. Councilmembers agreed
on the appointment of Ann Bovbjerg to,th'e Library Board, and for Fred Krause
and Beth Ringgenberg to the Housing Commission.
AGENDA 1564-1730
1. Perret suggested giving three considerations to the ordinance regarding
changes re terms for Airport Commissioners. There were no objections.
2. Regarding the discussion concerning the Gift Fund at the Senior Center.
all Councilmbmbers agreed that the Commission should dispense these funds,
not the staff.
3. Berlin advised that revenue received from sale of library furniture would
be receipted into the General Fund.
4. Balmer suggested that revenues received from donations, such as for the
Library Foundation, should be shown in the budget.
5. Balmer called attention to the letter from Old Brick regarding tirml on
parking meters, suggesting one-hour meters for shoppers, even on
Washington St. Berlin commented that Old Brick had gotten a variance
re parking, and staff would investigate further.
6. Hauer answered questions re changes in regulations on City Plaza in .he
emergency lane.
7. Rental of sidewalk areas for use by businesses has been referred to thl

to see if there was a bigger turnout. Balmer clUggested doing something
more for 20-25 year employees.
9. Balmer asked if informal sessions :ould be scheduled earlier in the
afternoon, especially durina t;ie summer. Lynch and Dickson advised
that they would have prz,uiems with a change in time.

INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION
APRIL 20, 1982
INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION: April 20, 1982, 7:00 P.M. in the Conference
Room at the Civic Center. Mayor Mary Neuhauser presiding.
COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT: Lynch, McDonald, Neuhauser, Perret, Balmer, Dickson,
Erdahl. Absent: None. Staffinembers present: Berlin, Stolfus, Helling,
Showalter, Hillstrom, Siders.
TAPE-RECORDED on Reel 82-10, Side 1, 144-1782.
CITY FORESTER PROPOSAL
� 144-390
Project Green representatives present included Nancy Seiberling, Don Sinek,
Mary Parrott, Gretchen Harshbarger, Kathryn Gillies, Wm. Rubright, Dan
Cleland, Leon Lyvers, Jim Maynard. City Manager Berlin announced that Iowa
City had received an Urban Forestry Grant in the amount of $1,500 from the
State Conservation Commission to do an inventory of tree stock, tree diseases,
in Iowa City. He noted receipt of materials from Project Green. Seiberling
reported on deliberations made by Project Green while investigating programs
in other communities to recommend to Council, noting that traditionally there
has been a kind of putting aside concerns for forestry in Iowa City.
Neuhauser commented that for the second year in a row, Iowa City had received
the Tree City award, and noted Council's appreciation of Project Green's con-
cerns. Dir. of Parks and Recreation Showalter explained the proposed duties
_ to be performed by the person filling the vacant position. This position will
j take the place of 1.4 persons in the previous budgets. The horticulturist
has resigned and the forestry position is vacant, so they have been combined.
The cemetery duties and weed duties will be taken care of by others. The
proposed salary range is $16,000-$22,000. This will not increase personnel
costs. The work will probably be divided 60% -forestry and 40% -other. Berlin
pointed out that if programs for tree maintenance or tree -planting are expand-
ed, there is no funding in the operating budget. Many communities do not con-
tract out tree -trimming, but have their own crews. We budget $40,000 for
trimming and replacement. Lyvers advised that only 5% of the budgeted tree
funds are spent on tree care.
The work program will be decided later, with Showalter having flexibility re
scheduling. Showalter commented that he would like to get grad students in
botany, no cost, to do the survey with supervision by him or possibly the
forester. The vacancy of a Sr. maintenance worker who was a skilled carpenter `
who worked on various city projects in the winter and did mowing in the summer,
will also be filled later. Harshbarger and Cleland commented on having a
full-time, experienced forester, and the programs that should be concentrated
on. All Councilmembers favored the proposal for hiring of a full-time forester.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION ORDINANCE
390-980
Hillstrom introduced Task Force Chrp. George McCormick and V.Chrp. John Kolp,
then gave a chronology of the action on the Historic Preservation Ordinance.
McCormick explained why the ordinance was necessary. The problems that people
J have voiced to McDonald were regarding the restrictions if people want to
change the exterior of their homes and who would decide what is proper.
McCormick stated that the HP Committee would be the one to make the decision

if it requires a building permit. Councilmembers had concerns over
this. Lynch asked if people could be allowed to just place their house
on a list within such designated areas.
Kolp distributed a handout and explained four main areas of concern: 1)
establishment of the committee, its term and powers, 2) provision of
procedures in recommendation and design for historic districts, 3) issu-
ance of Certificate of Appropriateness, and 4) time needed to review orders
correcting dangerous problems within a building. There would be a tax
advantage to rental or commercial properties. Single-family residences
would benefit indirectly by the rental/commercial property being
well maintained. No historic districts are designated in this ordinance.
A separate ordinance will be needed to designate them. The Committee
recommended that Historic Districts already designated by State and
National agencies be the first to be designated. All property owners
in each area will be made aware that their area is being considered for
designation.
Neuhauser questioned if Council could require other areas to get State or
Nayional designation before coming to the City. The committee did consider
this, but did not add it to the ordinance. Procedure in the draft ord.
for this was explained. Lynch questioned actual experience from other
cities with a similar ordinance. Balmer commented that it was a design
review type of situation. Kolp advised that the Secy. of the Interior
had furnished a set of standards with 25-30 points to follow when review-
ing is done by the Committee. Neuhauser requested a legal opinion on
the possible taking away of economic value issue. She suggested that
the requirement that a certain percent of property owners of a to -be -
designated area would petition Council to initiate the process. Council
requested that they receive a draft copy of the ordinance at the same
time that Planning and Zoning Commission receives it for review.
PROPOSED PERMIT FEES -HOUSING INSPECTION SERVICES -SURVEY 980-1034
Berlin noted the memo from Siders in Council's packet. Siders commented
that none of the communities in Iowa figure charges in the same way.
Iowa City is one of the few municipalities who actually assess a plan -
check fee. He explained the comparisons in his survey. Council compliment-
ed him on his good report. A resolution on fees will now be submitted.
NOISE ORDINANCE 1034-1588
Neuhauser suggested that any major concerns be made known at this time.
Lynch called attention to the penalty section, page 24, regarding frequen-
cy of violations, to provide for separate violations. Berlin stated that
in the definition of 'violation', it could be made clear that each and
every separate instance, occasion, complaint constituted a separate
violation. Jansen explained the injunctive procedure. Berlin called
attention to a letter from Leon Lyvers regarding times for construction
work, in his case, for tree spraying. An exemption could be added to
24.1-3(2). Another example would be the cutting of joints in concrete
paving. Neuhauser suggested using examples of emergencies instead of
listing them. Lyvers was present and explained his problem. A musician
expressed concern that the regulations be applied across the board, and
pointed out Iowa City has no band shell. He thought the ordinance pro-
hibited outdoor concerts, but they are allowed with a permit. Berlin
encouraged application for use of parks. A copy of the draft ordinance
was given to the musician. It was pointed out that the City has no
jurisdiction to enforce the ordinance on University property.

Council Informal
April 20, 1982
Berlin stated that enforcement would start with the prohibitions and the
dogs, the areas where there are most problems. Staff will attend a June
workshop on types of equipment for measuring, and an intern in HIS, an
environmental health person,can be used to train employees. Balmer
questioned regulations on page 18 regarding air conditioners and heat
pumps. Berlin replied that it was a prohibition on putting them in a
side yard. This section is from zoning ordinance provisions, but is add-
ed here so all noise items are in one ordinance. Council discussed whether
or not to grandfather in existing equipment. Future installation in side
yards could be prohibited, but it is hard to enforce. There are also
complaints regarding window units, Siders advised. Staff was directed
to get input from professional people regarding concerns express regard-
ing new and existing installations. No electrical permit is now required
to install an air conditioner. Council requested a public hearing to be
set for May 11th, so it will be an agenda item for the next meeting.
The three concerns discussed will be investigated.
COUNCIL BUSINESS -AGENDA 1588-1782
1. Regarding the Dubuque Street Improvement Project, McDonald advised
he was opposed to narrowing the street, and asked that the impact
on traffic be investigated. He questioned why on Clinton Street two
trees grow in the same width sidewalk as Dubuque, the pedestrian
traffic is much greater there, and there are no problems. Neuhauser
asked if Dubuque was wider than Clinton. Staff will report.
2. Terms for Airport Commissioners and Library Board Members- Balmer
and Lynch pointed out Zastrow's concerns regarding the change for
the Library Board. Turnover could be a problem. Erdhahl pointed
out that Council was removing an overly restrictive situation for
the Airport Commission. Berlin commented that it does give Council
more control with a semi -autonomous board. Council discussed treat-
ing both commissions the same, no decision was reached.
3. As the pending list items has been reduced, Berlin suggested that
the extra informal meetings not be scheduled.
Meeting adjourned, 9:15 P.M.

will be a license vehicle, and parking in a driveway only.
Zonin Code In
retation Panel The proposal for the panel was discussed.
Present y, and technical y, the Building Inspector's interpretation cannot
be overruled except by the Board of Adjustment. It would now provide for
the concensus of three indivuals concerned, or if no agreement, it would
go to the City Manager for interpretation. All decisions made should be
on file.
Mobile Homes/Manufactured Housing Zone Ordinances These ordinances and
the requirements for screening will be discussed informally at the May 3rd
informal session, and on the Council agenda at the May 11th meeting.
College Hill Park area. Mayor Neuhauser called attention to the problems
encountered by persons in this area with demolition of old buildings, and
rebuilding by developers at RIA density. She suggested that Council do
what they did for the Northside people, allowing rezoning of the RIA area
to the density contemplated by the new zoning ordinance, R3. George
Woodworth, 226 S. Johnson explained concerns and pointed out that a
petition was being circulated regarding setting a moratorium, and it
would be presented at Tuesday's formal meeting. Other interested persons
were present. A moratorium is triggered by Council's setting a public hear-
ing on rezoning Public hearing is held after receipt of P&Z's recommendation on
the rezoning request. Schmeiser thought it would be the end of the year
before the Commission and Council reviews and public hearings on the new
zoning ordinance were finished. Staff will provide a timetable for events
for the rezoning which legally should take place. A map of the area
affected will be published.
AGENDA/COUNCIL BUSINESS 2336-2580
1. Perret asked that regarding the easement for Harding Construction in
connection with the North Branch Ralston Creek Stormwater Detention
Project, that Council be provided with detailed information on the
area where the construction will be done. Schmadeke will explain at
Tuesday's meeting. This is the road extending Seventh Avenue from the
end of the paving thru Regina property.
2. Balmer noted concerns over the magnitude of the increases in permit
fees for electrical permits, mechanical permits and plumbing permits,
because of the present economic situation.

3. Erdahl questioned if there were any regulations regarding transpor-
tation of anhydrous ammonia. Berlin thought it was regulated by the
State, but will investigate.
4. A majority of Councilmembers agreed to appoint Gina McGee to the Com-
mittee on Community Needs.
5. A majority of Councilmembers agreed to appoint Joseph Tiffany to the
Airport Commission.
6. Balmer questioned procedure regarding the Airport Committee meetings.
He suggested that the recorded tapes of the meetings be kept in the
City Clerk's office for public listening purposes. The Mayor will
investigate procedures used by other boards and commissions. Balmer
also suggested use of the Conference Room instead of the Law Library
for Airport Commission meetings to accommodate the numbers of people
who attend.
PARKLAND ACQUISITION 2580 -End
Commissioners White, Wooldrick, Riddle and Jennings were present.
Showalter's report in the packet noted. McDonald questioned what happen-
ed if neighborhoods change. Showalter used Elm Grove Park as an example,
it could be sold, but if there is new housing surrounding the area, it
is unlikely. He explained how the fee per dwelling unit could be calcu-
lated. Showalter noted need for both open space and a flat area for rec-
reational purposes. A procedure for offer of land from a developer,
review by Council, possible negotiations, etc. was suggested. Showalter
j advised that two soccer fields would be constructed at the North Branch
Detention area Park. A new sketch of the present proposal will be pro-
vided. Balmer noted concerns regarding Miller Park. A small athletic Side 2
field can be placed near the Athletic Shop. Others noted concerns with 1-150
Aber Park. Council discussed if these parks would adapt to mandatory
park dedication. Parks and Recreation Comm. had asked the Planning Dept.
-to recommend areas for parks. They presented five recommendations.
Showalter was directed to report on how mandatory park dedication would
apply to the parks recommended, to present a draft of the ordinance,
and explain how it would apply to various types of areas. Erdahl re-
quested that mandatory park dedication be called minimum open -space
requirements.
PROPOSED TAXICAB ORDINANCE 150-183
Councilmembers were pleased with the proposed ordinance. Neuhauser question-
ed if it was practical to put a light near the driver's picture. Lynch
asked if the city bus drivers were required to meet the same standards.
Berlin replied that they were, but no actual permit is issued. After
some minor corrections, review by the taxicab companies, a final draft
will be provided for Council.
Meeting adjourned, 6:00 P.M.
