COUNCIL AGENDA 1. There were no questions regarding the Human Services Planner's policy for emergency funding of Human Services. 2. James Harwood presented a proposal to vend ice cream in the residential areas. The Mayor stated that the matter would be referred to the City Manager.

Mayor Balmer advised he concurred with the City Manager's memo and recommendation regarding the Noise Ordinance proposal. Perret suggested looking at the Iowa League of Municipalities proposal. 2. Balmer suggested that a press release be issued urging caution by traffic at the school street crossing at Court and Third Avenue. It was suggested that the sign would be more visible if lowered. 3. The Mayor called attention to the telegram sent to the White House outlining concerns regarding revenue sharing. Neuhauser commented that she had sent one also, and questioned if copies of Balmer's telegram had been transmitted to our Congressmen. Councilmembers agreed to appoint Nancy Jordison to the Human Rights Comm. There were many good applicants and there are vacancies coming up ORDINANCE TO ALLOW FUNERAL HOMES/MORTUARIES in R3 ZONE As Gary Watts was present, representing Sharm Scheuerman, the Mayor announced further discussion. Neuhauser's concerns were reiterated. Watts advised that probably an acre would be needed. Perret was concerned with the size of the minimum lot being too small. Erdahl questioned the parking requirements. Balmer advised that Council would be discussing these issues with P&Z at the next informal meeting and suggested the applicant be,present. STATUS REPORT ON NEW ZONING ORDINANCE Side 2, Mayor Balmer called attention to the memo in the packet from Jansen/Schmei- 1-1433 ser stating that he felt it was a realistic approach to a complex situation. Jansen pointed out changes already made during the three years since the Comprehensive Plan Map was adopted, 1) FW518 was realigned, 2) a sanitary sewer has been built to the County Home, which might change development patterns, 3) land East of Scott Blvd. has been considered, 4) installing of a lift station for the Oakes development in north Iowa City. He suggested Council use a short-range approach and not lock in development patterns for 100-200 years. Schmeiser stated that at present rate of growth, it would take 100-200 years to develop the undeveloped areas now in the Plan, so to predict more accur- ately, a shorter time -frame should be established, such as for Comprehensive Plan Phases 1 and 2, (12 years), for which Council would have to provide a commitment to provide infra -structure to allow development in these areas. He stated that the 1962 Zoning Ord. developed from the Bartholemew report had a tremendous effect on existing development. Areas located NE and S of downtown were rezoned from single-family to multi -family zone (RU), result- ing in a number of single family dwellings being converted to multi -family in a very large area. Staff has discussed downzoning of certain areas E of the business district, these areas were pointed out on the Land Map, to R3. Council discussed effect on property owners; economic impact, possible less regulation for developers outside the area covered by the Comprehensive Plan. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES L'. Vi - Page 3 Informal Council Sept. 21, 1981 If the City allows contiguous growth in 'finger' areas, no infra -structure will be extended unless the property owner pays for it, was suggested. One major factor is whether or not Iowa City will have a new sewer plant. The Chamber of Commerce is interested in industrial development along the I-80 system. New zoning classifications will be used, stating dwelling units per acre (DUA), but density for many will remain the same. Perret stated that Council had spent time, money and used expertise to make sure the Comprehensive Plan was well-documented and well -researched, and he did not want to go through it every two years, but fine-tuning could be done. He didn't see why Council couldn't proceed with a zoning ordinance complying with the changing the sland euse plan, except of the Plan. ctoeiser advised that h make adjustments. The lshorrt-rangeaplan would be based on the long range plan. A majority.of Councilmembers were in general agreement with the suggestions in the Jansen/Schmeiser memo for the short-range approach, and directed Staff to proceed. It was suggested that a time -frame be prepared, and concerns re downzoning be addressed. The legal department will be working on the zoning ordinance text, and the Staff will work on the plan and the map. Jansen stated that this would be an amendment to the Plan, and an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. LEGAL.DEPARTMENT STAFFING City Attorney Jansen.advised that altho a third assistant position is author- ized for his department, now that he has looked at the present workload in the department, he was hard put to justify hiring a third assistant City Attorney. Instead he would like to hire a qualified, certified para -legal person. As the City Manager is desirous of developing some sort of capability within City Hall in the field of Labor Relations Law, Linda WOito will develor this expertise to reduce dependence on Rynecki. It is Berlin's intent to use Rynecki for negotiating purposes. Helling, Carroll and WOito will be involved, doing what Scholten was doing. Jansen stated that he would function as lead counsel and will appear for all Court cases, except for the very minor ones. A majority of Councilmembers agreed with his suggestions. It was suggested that if it proved to be too much for Jansen to handle, he should notify Council. Jansen thought it would be manageable, so far. He did not want to spend his time as an administrator. EXECUTIVE SESSION Moved by Erdahl, seconded by Vevera to adjourn to executive session under Sec. 28A.5(g), to discuss the purchase of particular real estate where premature disclosure could be reasonably expected to increase the price the governmental body would have to pay for that property.
