BENTON/RIVERSIDE RECONSTRUCTION
Informal Council
August 2, 1982
City Manager Berlin introduced Bob Heneley representing I.D.O.T. 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.

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.

STAFFING FOR RESOURCES CONSERVATION COMMISSION 2255 -End
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

INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION: August 9, 1982, 7:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers
at the Civic Center. Mayor Pro tem Perret presiding.

TAPE-RECORDED: Reel N82-16, Side 2, 1-1972.
Mayor Pro tem Perret advised the group of citizens present that this was an 1-884
informational meeting for Council to hear the presentations and make comments.
After Council discussion, if the audience had questions, they would be answered.
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.
The problem of sump pumps dumping into sewers was discussed and the result
of the Inflo-Infiltration Study was commented on. Boothroy noted the study
of the Center City area will be the final area study. The preliminary Compre-
hensive Plan draft will be to P&Z in September, then public meeings and public
hearings, and to Council and final adoption in February.

prefer Aber or Miller Parks. Boothroy noted that the five-year plan would
be added to the draft and Council can deal with it then. Myhre advised that
the area could support two commercial centers. Hy -Vee has built on Dodge
St. The Council policy of no commercial development on the Englert Tract,
and the policy for a non-commercial entrance on Dubuque were noted. Myhre

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.

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.

City Attorney Jansen commented that he believed this resolution formal-
ized what Council wants regarding procedure for suspension after conviction.
All Councilmembers agreed.
AGENDA - COUNCIL BUSINESS 110-304
1. Balmer inquired as to why a liquor license was on the agenda for
Mickey's. 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. Some Council -
members thought it could go under Planning Dept., but will see how it
works out.
