Establishl Licensin for Si n Installers Knight advised that letters ha een sent to a sign insta ers and no real problems had surfaced. Neuhauser 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 HousingProject 22-4 Knight stated that a one-way traffic loop for par ing was designed, 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 panting a use or a screen, if it is not feast e, the applicant can go thru the City Forester process. Regarding the RMH zoning ordinance, Knight recommended Council's starting action on the ordinance.

Heneley presented sketches of what action OOT 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 Council members 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, U-n—iFe7 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. He stated that he had heard that the joint hearings have been very beneficial to all parties concerned, and he questioned if this arrangement is still working satisfactorily. nICROMMED BY ' JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 610-1211 1211-1461 1461-1742 r Page 3 Council Informal August 2, 1982 The Committee on Community Needs has raised the question of what their role might be in providing operating funding from the Block Grant Program, for the Human Services agencies. 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 TAR 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 promotion, 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 together 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 1) 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. 1742-1859 1859-2255 STAFFING FOR RESOURCES CONSERVATION COMMISSION 2255 -End Chrp.

EAST AREA DEVELOPMENT POLICY Franklin called attention to the memo outlining the rationale and assumptions for the short-range plan, with no'capital improvements, which would not ex- acerbate the sewer problems in the Horseshoe Area. Boothroy pointed out that the second memo, "Development Policy for East and Northeast Portions of Iowa City Pending Construction of the Wastewater Pollution Control Plant", was more specific and summarized the Council's previous discussions. He read the Policy Statement and the Implementation Strategy, three stages. A chart showing estimated flowage into the Horseshoe system to service already com- mitted development under Stage 1 was explained. Alternative waste manage- ment systems suggested included: holding areas, satellite treatment plants, and central septic systems. Erdahl questioned if there were any provisions for emergencies in the agree- ments for sewer allocations, so Council could legally be more restrictive. Boothroy commented that this would be a legal decision. Citizens present and Councilmembers commented on the proposal for the Wastewater Pollution Control Plant, on the progress so far on the sewer projects following the Federal mandates, and present problems in the Horseshoe area. Regarding alternatives, Erdahl agreed with Staff's position regarding presenting alternatives to the WPCP, when requesting Federal funding. Boothroy questioned if there was consensus with the policy statement. The Mayor Pro tem noted agreement, so there will be a resolution on the agenda for adoption of the policy, and a formal legal opinion will be given on minimizing the commitment in agreements and plats. Lynch suggested a com- mittee be established to work on the economics of what the City can afford. Jim Hynes proposed a 54" line off the SE Interceptor, from Rundell to Scott, with a satellite plant there to treat the sewage, dumping into Snyder Creek.

Consideration of Resolution refunding a portion of cigarette permit fee, added to Consent Calendar. 2. Atty. Zimmerman stated that tomorrow the management for Starport would plead guilty to serving a minor, and requested that their suspension of license be added to tomorrow's agenda. After discussion of pro- cedure, Helling advised that it was a legal decision, and the City Attorney was not present. There were no objections to adding the Resolution to the agenda, APPLICATIONS TO PLANNING AND.ZONING COMMISSION 1450-1600 I. Public hearing to be set to rezone nine mobile home parks. Staff will recommend rezoning only four. One home zoned RlA was noted on the map showing the parks. Perret pointed out that two trailer parks in Iowa City are named Hawkeye Trailer Court, which is confusing, and questioned if the Council had any authority to change names. Knight thought that they couldn't change the names of existing parks. 2. Knight reported that there had been no other feedback to the sign installers licensing ordinance, except that of Schwab at the public hearing. Councilman Lynch arrived, 4:50 PM. 3. Knight explained the airport overlay zones on the map provided. Balmer suggested sending the map to the County after Council adopts it. 4. McDonald questioned application of the screening ordinance to the City. owned property. Knight replied that if commercial property abutted a Parkland, the commercial property owner would have to screen. Third consideration of this ordinance will be after the public hearing and rezonings.

MICRorILMED BY ' JORM MICR46LA13 1 CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MDIBES I J r Page 2 HISTORICAL PRESERVATION ORDINANCE Informal Council August 16, 1982 Keller presented a memo regarding boundaries, one map showing two existing and four proposed districts, as pared down by the Iowa National Register of Historic Places from the initial study. Federal and State require ninety percent of buildings in an area to have historic significance. Balmer suggested putting this 90% figure in the ordinance and also making provision for exemption of a certain dollar figure regarding what a property owner can do to his her own property. Kucharzak advised that anything done to the exterior of a building, except painting, would trigger an application to the Board, but not necessarily trigger a building permit. He explained the scope of building permits. Lynch asked if there could be an option or procedure for exclusion of a building from the district, and questioned the experience factor in Dubuque and Des Moines under their ordinances. McDonald noted concern over restrictive nature of the ordinance and thought people contacted by the survey might not understand the ordinance. Seydel, a homeowner in one of the proposed districts compared costs for repair under the proposed ordinance vs what can be done now. It would be much higher cost under the ordinance. Atty. Jansen pointed out that it would affect not only building permits, but all regulatory permits (liquor licenses, rental permits). There was consensus to defer the Ordinance, and Staff was directed to take whatever time needed to refine what would trigger City involvement, to report the experience factor of Dubuque and Des Moines, and give some indication as to what criteria the other cities use, and their flexibility in enforcement. PERMANENT STRUCTURES ON CITY PLAZA Helling called attention to the memos in the packet, and questioned if Council had any interest in allowing permanent structures. Several Councilmembers thought that the Plaza would not be completely finished until the hotel was built, and that no permanent structures should be allowed. Legal will decide if the ordinance should be amended, as it now allows permanent structures. Consensus was that Council was not interested in permanent structures, but to leave in the 10' for expansion in front of businesses. CITY PLAZA BRICK SURFACE Asst. City Manager Helling explained his memo regarding the difference in brick being used from that already in the Plaza. It will cost $25,600 to order new brick and remove those already installed. Possibly the brick could be reused in another project, or sold. Balmer question- ed why all the brick was not purchased at one time. Councilman Erdahl arrived, 6:05 PM. The reorder of brick would include enough to pave in front of the new Department Store for the 10' area. The project can still be finished this year with new brick. A majority agreed that the brick be uniform in color overall. Staff will identify a use or disposal of the other brick.

The Clerk advised that the renewal will take effect after the suspension. 2. Balmer questioned in regard to the Ordinance on Alarm Systems, what happened in a dorm situation. Chief Miller will be asked to explain at an informal session. The Ord. will be deferred. Erdahl pointed out that the University is not now in session. 3. Jill McCarragher appeared, representing J. M. Swank Co. The firm is constructing a warehouse on Southgate, and have been parking their trucks on the street in the area until the parking is completed, 9/10/82, and have been using the streets for loading, etc. The Police Dept. informed them that they are violating the 48 hour stor- age ordinance. They are also using street for commercial purposes. McCarragher asked that they be allowed to park on Boyrum and Olympic Court. Councilmembers wished to view the area. If there are problems, the matter will be brought back before Council. 4. Mayor Pro tem Perret called attention to the letter from RCC Chrp, asking for Council's endorsement of the Sierra Club Community Energy Project with RCC as co-sponsor. Balmer called attention to the article in the packet re Ames project. There were no objections. 5. Perret questioned when the new buses would arrive. Helling noted that they will be here by the end of the month, then they will be retrofitted with a new part. GWG INVESTMENTS -BID ON OLD PUBLIC LIBRARY 304-430 Balmer noted that GWG attorney was present, and called attention to Attorney Cruise's letter in the packet with additional information. Hauer stated that GWG's material submitted is substantially in compli- ance with the requirements. Council can go ahead with proper procedures and accept them as developer. Perret questioned if the developer could choose any or all of the three uses proposed. They can choose any use, but have to know their status before they can go any further, the Attorney stated. Balmer noted that the County has already hired an architect for their proposed building. Hauer stated that the GWG proposal is as far as we can go given the procedures we set up. Council is giving staff direction to proceed, and Council knows what the staff is proceeding on. Erdahl commented that he thought Council was giving a basic go-ahead. STAFFING RESOURCES CONSERVATION COMMISSION 430-465 Where the half-time person would be housed was discussed. Helling stated that the position would remain under the City Manager.
