savings to the project is $209,000.) (2) That there are no problems
which can be eliminated from the (1982 CDBG) budget at this time in order
to provide additional funds for the Ralston Creek North Branch Dam.

3. The amendment to the Prel. & Final-LSNRD for HyVee/Drug Town and
Contractor's Tool and Supply is to allow a storage facility to be

for, Boothroy noted.
Councilman Erdahl arrived, 3:10 PM.
4. Boothroy pointed out that the Ordinance regarding zone for funeral

R3A zone as Council decided. To change to a less restrictive zone will
not require another public hearing. Sham Scheurman arrived and was
apprised of Council's decision to restrict construction to the R3A zone
with a minimum of one acre lot size. Scheurman suggested that a
mortuary was a lot like a church and stated that the Council would
not often be confronted with this question. His client is considering
a two acre parcel in the fringe area. Boothroy explained P&Z Comm.

4. Berlin explained that Item 21, Sale of $370,000 public improvement
bonds, was for the paving and storm drainage in the B.D.I. develop-
ment. As bids previously received for the sale of these bonds came
in too high, the only alternative at this time was that the bonds
would be issued, at 10%, to the contractor who currently is holding
the warrants at 7%. Neuhauser requested a report from the Staff
on how the applicant met the criteria as requested by City policy.
5. City Manager called attention to the Press Release being distributed
regarding the City's receipt of federal matching grant for energy
conservation.
6. Hauer distributed to Council the report from consultant Zuchelli
regarding redevelopment opportunities for the former public library
building. Copies of this report will sell for $1.
FUNDING FOR THE NORTH BRANCH DAM
Mayor Balmer called attention to the memo from Schmeiser in the packet
entitled Reallocation of Metro Entitlement CDBG Funds, and expressed
concern regarding the article in the Daily Iowan. He stated that at the
executive session mentioned, Council had decided to not discuss funding.
Berlin added that Council specifically asked -Staff to prepare a report
regarding other sources for funding and was why this discussion had been
scheduled. In answer to Erdahl's question regarding the bond market,
Berlin replied that there was no reason to believe high quality bonds
couldn't be sold on the market, but there were two issues, the cost, and
this amount of money, what it does to the overall schedule of debt as you
look at other projects.
2009 -End
Berlin summarized the discussion as follows: The land could be acquired
this fall, plans and specifications would be started, finished next Spring
with a detailed estimate on construction costs. At that time, determine
how to finance the cost of the dam. Staff and the Commission could go back
through the Block Grant programs, knowing what the Council's general interest
is, seeing what flexibility they have next Spring. There was general agreement.

3. Councilmembers discussed whether or not agenda material should be
stapled. Many did not mind if copies of material were printed on
both sides of the paper, if separate items were not run together

meeting, residents noted concerns re storm water runoff. Berlin said
that the staff would solve the issue re Shamrock St. Council does not
want it to go thru to the new Scott Boulevard. Glasgow has made improve-
ments for sewer.
University Baptist Church Keller explained the rezoning from RIA to R3
of the 4A tract for multi -family use. This conforms to the Comprehensive
Plan. Residents were concerned with the storm water runoff, and have
filed a petition objecting to the rezoning. If the petition is official,
a 3/4 vote of Council will be needed to adopt the rezoning ordinance.
Stornwater management will be considered when the development plans come
thru. Randall Miller, representing the University Baptist Church, stated
that they do not plan to develop the tract, are only selling the land.
There were no objections to setting of a public hearing at the Nov. 10th
meeting.
AGENDA - COUNCIL TIME 739-800
1. Balmer stated that he agreed with the recommendations in Transit
Manager's memo and suggested that Mose could submit suggestions on
an on-going basis. Mose replied that it took manpower and time to
study the situations,and he had had help from Lundell and Davidson
to make it possible.
2. Vevera called attention to the memo from the Housing Comm, and suggested
meeting with them and CCN on the issues mentioned. It was noted that
Council had previously decided that it was premature to make any
decisions. City Manager Berlin stated that the staff had been instruct-
ed to proceed with land acquisision, preparation of plans and bidding,
and when all was ready, probably next Spring, assess where we stand.
In the meantime, by Dec. 1st, the Block Grant application would be
filed, staff and CCN would look at the alternatives available, but it
would be on hold until all the information is together. Also Council
will need to consider the CIP plan. This information will be trans-
mitted to CCN and Housing Commission.

SHELLER -GLOBE HEARING 1235-1'302
Regarding the Sheller -Globe hearing, Neuhauser questioned whether or not the
City Attorney would be functioning as Council's legal counsel or as the
prosecutor. Jansen replied that he would be the prosecutor, and that the
role of the Council is viewed as an administrative process and no independent
advise would be needed. He stated he was being very circumspect, and not
discussing the merits of the case, only the framework of the procedure,
which will be explained to Council later.

Amend Zoninq Ordinance Boothroy suggested an addition to the consent
ca eddar of setting a public hearing for December 8th to remove the bldg.
moratorium on the Northside, as stated in 8.10.40. Council agreed.
Waters First Addn./Oakes Meadow Addn. Knight gave the previous history
regarding this area. There are two remaining issues, the alignment of
Dover St. regarding the curves, and preference by staff for Dover St. to
hook up with Carver. P&Z approved both preliminary plats subject to an
agreement between the City and Oakes, stating that the entire length of
Dover be constructed prior to any residential development, and assurance
that the secondary access is taken care of. Atty. Neely representing
Oakes stated that Oakes will pick up the tab for paving the extension of
Dover St. Oakes and Waters have easements, subject to the Moose Lodge
approval of dedication of r -o -w,. The developer would lose Lot 27 by
changing the curves. Kammerer noted that the street was an access to a
subdivision only, not a secondary collector. The duplex lots will have
two driveways from each lot. The preliminary plats will be added to
the Nov. 24th agenda. The final plats will be on agenda only when
clear title has been received to the right-of-way for the secondary access.
RALSTON CREEK VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT 1672-1780
Developer James Clark and Atty. Holland were present. Berlin called
attention to the memo in the packet summarizing the project and inclusion
of additional relevant documents. Layout of the project was distributed,
60 units. Boothroy advised that it would be 17 days after the application
before the Board of Adjustment could consider a special use permit, be-
cause of the publication requirements. Holland pointed out time limitations
regarding applications for Industrial Revenue Bonds. Clark stated he would
pay for one-half the cost of the sewer. Berlin discussed previous arrange-
ments regarding the sewer. Perret noted concerns regarding enlarging the
Industrial Revenue Bond area for housing purposes when the original policy
was for commercial purposes downtown. He was also concerned with the
inconsistency with the Ralston Creek plan. Council will approve amendment
to the IRB policy under Item ;117 on the agenda, then Clark can file an
application for IRB's and go thru the legal process. Holland pointed out
addition of tax revenue by addition of this project to the City's tax base.

was not the intent of the Council, an amendment to the Ordinance
would need to be made. Atty. Jansen agreed. The item will be
brought up for further discussion at a later date.
6. Roberts called attention to an error in the Informal Minutes of
October 26, 1981, where he is listed both as present and absent.

leaves. Berlin stated that when it rains, the crew gets behind.

SHELLER -GLOBE PUBLIC HEARING 2022-2100
Atty. Jansen advised of the illness of the City's chief witness (Dague),
who is still conducting tests, and has not been able to make a deposition
for the Sheller -Globe attorney. Their attorney can not come here during
December, Council has set several budget hearings in January, so the
last two weeks in February is an acceptable time for the hearing for both
parties, if Council is agreeable. There were no objections from Council -
members.
APPOINTMENTS 2100 -End
1. Councilmembers agreed to reappoint Patricia Boutelle as the University
representative to the Riverfront Commission.

computer by use of the terminal. Ease of computation of salaries and
fringes was explained. Collection of parking tickets has increased.
