Blum; Boothroy, Schmeiser 837 - Hayek outlined the process by which the new zoning ordinance would be brought to Council for consideration. As it will be a major piece of legislation that Council will consider, and it will have a significant impact on the City, he recommended that his successor conduct a careful review, probably requiring five or six months, as this person will defend the ordinance against litigation. Balmer noted that he would like to keep litigation to a minimum. Blum stated that no matter how much opportunity for input has been scheduled, many citizens will not be aware of the effects .of the ordinance. Hayek advised that although his resignation date was flexible, it would not include time necessary for the zoning ordinance. Berlin pointed out that Hayek would still be involved with finalizing current litigation and urban renewal after resignation. The effect of thisi:legislation.on the upcoming Council election was discussed. There was general agreement to support Hayek's position. ATTORNEY JOB VACANCY NOTICE Carroll present. Berlin called attention o the March 5th memo from Atty. Hayek. This memo MICROFILMED BY 'JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES Page 2 Informal Council March 16, 1981 will be given to all applicants. Balmer commented that the 1970 study and report is still valid. Although some Councilmembers wished to include pro- vision for consideration of a full-time position in the vacancy notice, a majority agreed to retain the present system and advertise for a part-time position. Any exceptions can be dealt with in the interview process. Hayek commented, from the view of a previous City Attorney, the dependency and objectivity that results from the part-time position. Berlin suggested clarifying the duties by adding the initial time demands required for working on the zoning ordinance. The hourly rate for compensa- tion will be negotiated with Council. Balmer stated that Council would receive all applications but proposed establishing a review committee, consisting of three attorneys, two Councilmembers and two citizens who would review the applications and make at least two, but not more than five recommendations to Council. Neuhauser suggested that one attorney be from the University Law Faculty, one from the Bar Association and one a previous City Attorney. By Charter, these positions would be advertised for 30 days, as will the advertisement for the City Attorney vacancy. Council - members agreed. Neuhauser and Balmer were chosen as Council's representa- tives, with Roberts as an alternate. Perret suggested that in the Vacancy Notice under Application Procedure, where submission of the most complex brief is requested, that substitution of other areas of general writing be considered. Berlin suggested insert- ing the phrase 'preferably relating to'. There were no objections. Hayek observed that he would be happy to talk with any potential candidates Perret added that during the interview an applicant should be willing to disclose financial holdings and business relationships in the community. Hayek thought that this was reasonable. Berlin stated that the applicants will be provided with the process that will be used, and a redraft of the Job Vacancy notice will be provided to Council. HUMAN SERVICES PLANNING - FY '82 PROGRAM REVIEW Erdahl commented that JCCOG thought that the City should review the program, because we are the ones who use the services.
