Recommendations of Boards and Commissions noted as follows: At its regularly scheduled meeting Wednesday, December 1, 1;982, the Housing Commission discussed the present and future workload in Housing Inspection, the rotation and training of firefighters, and the reduction of one full-time housing inspector on January 1, 1983. The loss of the permanent, full-time inspector will have a negative impact, and the following recommendation is made: "That the City Council take action to retain the current staffing level of housing inspectors and to fund same from the General Funds." Motion Vander Zee, second Riggenberg, approved 6/0." The November 12 information packet included a memorandum recommending that fees be adjusted to permit the retention of one of the :11CROi 1LMED BY JORM MICROLAS CEDAR RAPIDS • DES 19INE5 ii t r L-'. Council Activities December 7, 1982 Page 4 full-time housing inspectors. This person will be terminated at the end of December unless funding is provided. The City Manager recommends that the position be retained. Recommendation of the Committee on Community Needs: (1) That the City Council find funds to resolve the problems of the Creekside area. (2) That two houses for handicapped children be funded from sources other than CDBG funds, or that Systems Unlimited be encouraged to apply for.CDBG funding next year. Recommendations (1) and (2) require no further action at this time, as they were discussed with CCN at the informal Council meeting on November 22, 1982. (3) That surface and drainage improvements on Kirkwood Circle be a high priority of the Public Works capital improvements program. The recommendation refers to the request by residents of Kirkwood Circle for CDBG funds for drainage improvements and resurfacing. This project is not in a designated Neighborhood Strategy Area at this time, and therefore received a low priority for funding with CDBG funds. The residents have requested assistance from the Public Works Department which is aware of the problem. Because of the complete absence of curbs, catch basins and storm sewers, and the bad state of the pavement, the City Engineer estimates that it would cost $60,800 to make the required improvements. It is suggested that Council consider including this project in the 1984 Capital Improve- ments Program. Balmer returned to the meeting.

Staff has worked with the Association in all areas, City Manager Berlin advised, and does not believe property owners should be relieved of all responsibility for water bills. He requested that Council give Staff some direction. Councilmembers discussed items 2, (liens) 4,(collection) and 5, (losses) from the letter. Suggestions included: to present the issue to a neutral group such as Management Advisory Panel; to use collection agency; and to require larger deposits. Vitosh and Heaton explained present process for unpaid water bills. Bailey presented a survey of utility billing and collection procedures from nine other large cities in Iowa, and pointed out that Iowa City is the only city to use the lien for unpaid water bills, which he thought was not legal. The Mayor asked that Staff come back with alternatives for City procedures, which are more fair for both sides, and with information regarding collec- tion agencies. The City Manager commented that it would probably be after the budget meetings. CENTRAL JUNIOR HIGH 1680-2240 Architect Neumann was present, his feasibility study noted. Also present Atty.

The one absention reflected one person being absent for discussion. Council would be setting a public hearing for 1/18/83 and a staff report will be attached to the ordinance at that hearing. Rezoning intersection of Gilbert and Burlington (Maher property) Council will be setting public hearing for 1/18/83. The Commission considered this matter and deferred action until their meeting in January. Rezoning Lots 3 and 4 Lyman Cook's (Iowa City Pipe Yard) Knight explained that this goes along with the previous item, Maher property, and sets public hearing for 1/18/83. The Commission discussed this on December 16th and deferred it until January. Vacating alley Lot 4 Lyman Cook's, Outlot 25 Knight pointed out this property was right behind the pipe yard and would require a public hearing set for 1/18/83. The north and south sections are already vacated. Dis osition Lots 3 and 4 L man Cook's Outlot 25 and vacated orL�dn �u� w �� Knight noted the memo from the City Manager on this subject previously. Perret questioned whether we had heard from the applicant re industrial revenue bonds. City Manager stated there had been discussion but no application. Disposition vacated portion of Maiden Lane Knight explained Council was being asked to seta public hearing for 1/4/83 even thougha public hearing had been held previously. A new public hearing is suggested becuase of the time lapse since the original and to allow hearing on the specific purchase offer of $10,000. Knight noted that staff would probably recommend acceptance of the offer because the City did not want maintenance of the property for the winter months ahead. He also noted that staff feels the original appraisal price didn't consider the right-of-way for y,,.. no11d_R,mmnelhardt but rather building a new building on the site. Knight pointed out that a new building could only be 25 feet wide and would block access to Boyd-Rummel- hardt. Council agreed to proceed. Rezoning 505 Burlington Street (Rosebud) Knight stated that staff and the Commission recommend approval of this request. Council will set a public hearing for 1/18/83. Knight said that conventional financing would probably be used for this project due to the tightness in revenue bond market. Council is being asked to given final consideration to the ordinance on January 18th, waiving the first two readings, and also approving the LSRD as recommended by the Commission. The one abstention was due to the fact the applicant was a client of one of the Commission members. 141CROT ILMED RV JORM MICROLA6 CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOVIES J r Council Informal December 21, 1982 Page 2 Ord. vacatin all in Block 47 and Historic Preservation Ord.

Balmer noted a correction to the informal minutes of 12/13/82, under Council Business, item #2, re JCCOG meeting. A JCCOG quorum existed, however, there was not a good representation of Council. Another meeting is scheduled for December 29th at 4:30 P.M. 2. Balmer noted the request from Parks and Recreation Commission re procedure for naming of facilities be channeled through the Parks and Recreation Commission first for their recommendation. Council agreed to follow this procedure in the future. 3. Ccuncil discussed the upcoming Airport Commission vacancy and the Code section stating that a person could not be re -appointed. Balmer noted the letter received some time ago from the Library Board. Consensus of the Council was to change the Code for Airport Commission and leave it alone for the Library Board. The matter will be. scheduled for informal discussion in the near future. 4. Erdahl noted the letter from the chairperson of CCN, Margaret Bonney, re the crowded conditions for informal Council sessions. Council stressed the import- ance of the sessions remaining informal. Staff was asked to in..%estigate the possibility of a suitable folding table for the Council Chambers. 5. Erdahl stated that the items listed on the pending list under "other" should be reviewed periodically and prioritized. He suggested the following changes: Affirmative Action Task Force Report - B; Parking in Central Business District - C; G.O. Bond Abatement with Sewer Revenues - B (The City Mgr. noted this matter would be discussed at the end of the month with CIP); Storm Drainage (Friendship, Shamrock, Arbor) - B; FY84 Council Goals and Objectives - A; Vacation of Harrison Street - A; Central Junior High Property - A. Council agreed with the "A's". 6. City Manager noted that the budget session had been scheduled for Saturday, January 15th, from 8:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. More information will be forthcoming. This scheduling should allow more time for items on the pending list to be considered. 7.
