City Manager Berlin called attention to the memos on the bids as previously distributed. The Mayor asked to hear from the Supervisors. Atty. White commented that the Supervisors had previously indicated an interest in acquiring the Old Library and would like to discuss it. Erdahl questioned if it was appropriate to have discussion with the Supervisors before action was taken on the bids. City Atty. Jansen agreed that at some point Countil would have to take action on the bid, but in an informal context, there was no reason that Council could not hear the Supervisor's proposal. White stated that the Supervisors had written Council prior to the bid process. Re- garding adding the property to the tax base, he advised that the County would consider an agreement to provide the City a payment in lieu of taxes for some period of time, and there could be other overall reduc- Side 2 tions of taxes. He thought use as a governmental complex would fit in 1-381 with the City's plans. The County has an alternative for providing their extra space, and might be able to use the right-of-way on Harrison Street as a building site. Additional costs of building on the old jail site were explained. Their plan is to leave all court -related functions at the Courthouse and move all other offices to the new building. The County has funding thru the Revenue Sharing monies. Costs to bring the Old Library up to Code were discussed. The Mayor asked for discussion regarding Agri Services bid not meeting bid specifications. Perret was irritated with the timing of the City Manager's letter to Neuzil and Kerf.

Neuzil spoke regarding their plans. Regarding G.W.G. bid, Perret commented that it was also deficient, it did not make the ' investment required by the Prospectus. Atty. John Cruise representing G.W.G. stated that no business could guarantee spending 'x' amount of dollars in these days. Some Councilmembers thought the G.W.G. proposal was vague. Cruise thought Glasgow would be willing to discuss the offer. Council decided to give Atty. Jansen a chance to prepare an opinion re- garding changing the prospectus regarding investment, and to discuss the G.W.G. proposal with Glasgow, or to discuss any other options before the next Council meeting, so it was not added to the agenda for the 20th. CONGREGATE MEALS Mayor Neuhauser called attention to the County Attorney's forthcoming opinion regarding Congregate Meals. The County is also establishing a new Commission, Advisory for Congregate Meals, and is advertising for applications and would like to see the City represented.

SEWER CAPACITY/EAST AND NORTHEAST AREAS 1162-2180 Boothroy called attention to his memo regarding questions raised in previous area study discussions. Agreements with B.D.I., Village Green and Plum Grove Acres were summarized and present flow useage outlined. B.D.I.'s sale of property to Oscar Meyer included the sewer capacity. Alternative development policies regarding surcharge conditions in the Rundell Street Trunk are out- lined in the memo. It was pointed out that the proposed Highlander/Westing- house Lift Station will ultimately dump into the Rundell St. Sewer at it's intersection at Jefferson Street. Boothroy commented on the proposed Prairie du Chien sewer which would replace three other lift stations and pump into the River Corridor system, paid for by assessment of the area. The City's policy on lift stations was noted. Alternatives for Policy >il, toleration of sur- charge conditions in Rundell St. Sewer discussed. Regarding the B.D.I. 1971 agreement, City Attorney Jansen advised that the City was not in a position to challenge the assumption that guarantee of sewer capacity was legal, however there were interpretations regarding capacity which might be changed. The B.D.I. agreement with Wolfe was noted. Policy f2, no toleration of surcharge alternatives. Staff will draft a policy statement of specific alternatives that can be implemented. Boothroy summarized Council's intent to honor existing agreements with B.D.I, Plum Grove Acres; look at Vt}lage Green; and to continue development of all already platted properties, minimiz- ing the surcharge and phasing the alternatives. To insure and aid development in other areas of the City, Capitol Improvement Projects can be planned. Extension of Foster Road by developing at both ends was noted. This area is sewered by the Corridor Sewer. When the 21" sewer has been installed, Glasgow pointed out that this area will be the only area selling lots on which $150,000 homes can be built. Now people are going out- side the City. He outlined the number of homes that could be built. Schmeiser related a discussion with developer Oakes who says it is more feasible to build North of Interstate 80 with septic tanks on one acre lots because the investment on utilities is less.

Scott will develop as sewer is extended. Costs for the paving project from Scott to Rochester were requested. The use of the unimproved County road near A.C.T., the paved section, and A.C.T. undeveloped 80 A were explained.

Traffic from Procter and Gamble, 1-18 Heinz and H.P. Smith would use Local Road Intersection when coming from the East, and would use 518 when coming from the west, Myhre reported. NORTH AREA STUDY 18-357 Upgrading the Bjaysville Sewer line to 24" would allow 12 people per acre and would service the area West of Prairie du Chien and with a lift station, the area East of Prairie du Chien. This would hook onto the River Corridor Sewer and as the area is close to downtown, could be one of the first areas to develop. Density of development depends on whether east of Prairie du Chien is developed. Erdahl thought there was a different alignment for Foster Road west of Prairie du Chien. This issue will need to be decided on later when everyone is present. Regarding the 4 -way intersection proposed by the State on the west side of Dubuque, Glasgow questioned if the City had acquired the land, and suggested a stop -light at the intersection to slow traffic down.

Balmer stated that as only four Councilmembers were present, the meeting would be more for information than making decisions. SEWER CAPACITY/EAST AND NORTHEAST 1162-2180 Boothroy called attention to his memo regarding questions raised in previous area study discussions. Agreements with B.D.I., Village Green and Plum Grove Acres were summarized and present flow useage outlined. B.D.T.'s sale of propert, to Oscar Meyer included the sewer capacity. Alternative development policies regarding surcharge conditions in the Rundell Street Trunk are out- lined in the memo. It was pointed out that the proposed Highlander/Westing- house Lift Station will ultimately dump into the Rundell St. Sewer at it's intersection at Jefferson Street. Boothroy commented on the proposed Prairie du Chien sewer which would replace three other lift stations and pump into the River Corridor system, paid for by assessment of the area. The City's policy on lift stations was noted. Alternatives for Policy #1, toleration of sur- charge conditions in Rundell St. Sewer discussed. Regarding the B.D.I. 1971 agreement, City Attorney Jansen advised that the City was not in a position to challenge the assumption that guarantee of sewer capacity was legal, however there were interpretations regarding capacity which might be changed. The B.D.I. agreement with Wolfe was noted. Policy H2, no toleration of surcharge alternatives. Staff will draft a policy statement of specific alternatives that can be implemented. Boothroy summarized Council's intent to honor existing agreements with B.D.I, Plum Grove Acres; look at Village Green; and to continue development of all already platted properties, minimiz- ing the surcharge and phasing the alternatives.

AGENDA 357-610 A representative from Dickey's Sav-A-Lot requested addition to the Consent Calendar. The Clerk noted that the application was in order. Council agreed. APPLICATIONS TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Historic Preservation Ord. Neuhauser commented that the problems Council had previousTy to a about had been ironed out. Keller answered questions on the process. Staff support for this Commission will be from PPD and HIS. City Atty. Jansen pointed out that this will be a chapter in the Zoning Code. Ord. Establishing Lice for Si n Installers Knight advised that letters to been sent to a" sign installers an n� o real problems had surfaced. Neuhauen expressed concern regarding the one-time exemption. Knight comment- ed on it's use. Council will assume the ordinance will work, and if it is abused, a fee for a one-time license could be considered. PAD -Public Hous in Project 22-4 Knight stated that a one-way traffic loop Tor par tng was esi% , and units were reoriented regarding open -space. Staff and Commission were satisfied with the changes in the application, and had reviewed the application just like any other development. Seydel noted that the building construction plans will not be acted on until a dev- eloper is selected. Screenin /Residential Mobile home Zone/Cha ter 22 amendments Staff prefers that pia nttng a use ora screen, tf tt is not feasib e, the applicant can go thru the City Forester process. Regarding the RMH zoning ordinance, Knight recommended Council's starting action on the ordinance. P&Z will review all existing mobile home parks to decide if they should be rezoned to RMH or left non -conforming. Certified letters have been sent to all park owners. Concerning the change in Chapter 22, certification of park boundary, a change allows certification by a registered land surveyor. Revised PIZZI12ws Knight noted a language change regarding the Commission reviewin items on the CIP which relate to the Comprehensive Plan, and review of all public improvements, all review has been tied to the affect of major projects to the Comprehensive Plan. The bylaws will be referred to the Council Rules Committee for review. Area Studies Balmer asked that the Area Reports that Council has been re- viewing be sent to the School District for their review. Knight replied that a draft can be sent before the studies go to the P&7. Commission for the second time around. nICROFILMED BY JORM MICRE/LA6 � CEDAR RAPI05 •DES tt018ES 1 J r Page 2 Informal Council August 2, 1982 BENTON/RIVERSIDE RECONSTRUCTION City Manager Berlin introduced Bob Heneley representing I.D.O.T. lieneIPy presented sketches of what action DOT recommended for paving of Benton; alternatives for Riverside, median vs fifth -lane concept; and stated that their recommendation was to not add a separate full -pedestrian phase for the traffic signal at Benton/Riverside. Council and Staff have determined that Benton should have new paving. The cost difference is $13,000 apiece (50-50 shared project). Heavy traffic on Benton noted. Councilman Erdahl arrived, 3:40 P.M. All Councilmembers agreed that the City Manager was to write a forceful letter to Dunham insisting on new paving for Benton St. Regarding the median vs fifth-lane,Heneley noted it would require the same right-of-way for either option. McDonald noted concern regarding volume of retail business in today's climate and effect of median. Dickson was advised that the traffic from both directions would be able to turn left and use the fifth -lane at the same time. So concern is for balancing access to business vs safety. The City Manager commented that he, the Traffic Engineer and the City Engineer are together on their recommendation for a raised median. Kevin O'Brien, for McDonalds, stated that they had a 15% drop in business while the present Bypass/ Riverside project was being constructed. A majority of Councilmembers agreed to go ahead with the fifth -lane concept. Concerning the pedestrian crossing, Council discussed the alternatives. A pedestrian activated 30 second stop of all vehicles in a peak hour would back traffic up considerably. Initial cost of this phasing would be more expensive. A majority of Councilmembers agreed on a pedestrian activated, stop all traffic signal. Councilman Lynch arrived, 4:10 P.M. AGENDA/COUNCIL BUSINESS 1. Atty. McCarragher appeared regarding the time period for the liquor license suspension for Mickys. Councilmembers stated they had not authorized the date for suspension. A majority of Councilmembers agreed to suspend the license starting August 4, thru August 17th. Concensus was that the City Attorney would draft a policy that stated that in the future when Council suspends a license, it will go into effect im- mediately, the staff to add these items to the agenda when the licensee pleads guilty or is convicted. 2. Sewer Agreement with Highlander, Westinghouse and Glasgow. Atty. Jansen commented that Council is being asked to authorize execution of the agreement before submitting it to the other parties. Atty. Leff stated that there had been many revisions, but general concepts were the ones worked out by everyone. Council agreed to go ahead. HUMAN SERVICES FUNDING Tom Baldridge, 0-nTit—eif Way, present. The City Manager stated that Council had been very please with Pam's direction of Human Services. She has re- signed. Berlin announced the birth of a boy to Pam and Clemens. lie stated that he had heard that the ,joint Bearings have been very beneficial to all parties concerned, and he questioned if this arrangement is still working satisfactorily.

After discussion of CCN intent, all Councilmembers agreed to not use Block Grant funds for operating expenses. Schmeiser will so advise CCN. Balmer called attention to the proposal for housing the 1/2 -time position of coordinator with United Way. Schmeiser commented that logistically it would be hard to supervise the position. It is a JCCOG position. The City Manager felt that the location was not critical, but the issue was one of independence. Baldridge read a state- ment regarding consolidation for provision of services. The issue will be put on the agenda for JCCOG. Additional information, pro and con, will be submitted by Staff. In regard to reducing the number of joint hearings to two, Council liked the process now used, four hearings. Ramser has devised a simplified budget for agencies to use. This issue will also be submitted to JCCOG. HOTEL/DEPARTMENT STORE UPDATE City Manager Berlin explained why the addition of the resolution to the agenda was necessary. As Staff proceeded with the bidding process for the hotel project, they noted that bids will be predicated on what is happen- ing next door, and there was a need to make Armstrong's plans clear. Lynch asked the significance of the Oct. 1, 1982 date. Berlin advised that Atty. Hayek is legal counsel for this project. Neuhauser said that the resolution is the acceptance of Armstrong's bid. The Prospectus for the hotel has gone to the consultant, Zuchelli. HOTEL -MOTEL TAX Neuhauser questioned the wording of the question for the ballot. This same wording caused an uproar at the previous election. Publicity will have to be given informing the public that the tax has nothing to do with accommodations for transient guests. Balmer advised outlining what the money would be used for, how much income can be anticipated, and finding out how Coralville intends to use their income. A resolu- tion could be adopted stating Council's intention for use of the income, and the percentage of investment for tourism pronation, possibly match- ing private contributions. Chamber of Commerce Secy. Kafer pointed out that this would be a tax on only one portion of tourist business. McGurk explained why the tax was detrimental to selling of conventions, and wanted some assurance that a percentage of the tax would go for promotion of tourism/conventions. Berlin suggested that the Chamber of Commerce get togheter a program for Council's consideration then Council could meet with Coralville for a discussion. John Hughes, Pres. of the Chamber of Commerce spoke on two points the Executive Committee had discussed suggesting I) if the tax is on the ballot, Council commit to how the funds would be used, and 2) the tax be solely used to promote Iowa City as a convention center. Kafer will supply Council with information from other communities who have the tax, on how much income is received, and how the money is spent. STAFFING FOR RESOURCES CONSERVATION COMMISSION Chrp. Bob Singerman present. After discussion of the memo, alternatives and suggestions, Council's intent re staffing for RCC and role of Energy Coordinator, the City Manager stated that the Staff would again discuss j..
