I. It was agreed that the City staff would look at contingency plans assuming
the d take
account bothproceedingplant, treatment
roceeding withthe purchase of funded.
he land lfor the new siteinto
the consequences of delaying such land purchase. In addition we should
review what alternatives and problems might exist if funding at the
anticipated level is not available for the City. (Schmadeke, Kimm, Vitosh)
2. The City will explore whether there are possibilities under the new income
tax law which would make it advantageous for the City to lease_ a new
transit building constructed by private enterprise. (Mose & Vitosh)
3. The City Manager indicated that the bus equipment reserve is revised
periodically but that he would check to see if the figures are current.
(Vitosh)
4. There was some discussion of small buses and it was agreed that Glenn

in Chicago. (Mose)

need for 'Coordination in housing and transportation issues. (Berlin)
6. It was agreed that the staff would look at alternatives if for some reason
Old Capitol Center is unable to proceed with the construction of the
Armstrong's department store and the hotel. (Schmeiser & Hauer)
7. The City should develop a revenue strategy for the future. (Vitosh &
Berlin)
8. Would it be possible to refinance general obligation bonds if they have to
be issued in a very high market. (Vitosh)
9. It was agreed that the staff would proceed to prepare various alterantives
for park acquisition which would not be based upon the issuance of GO bonds
or general CIP support. The policy would include priorities for
acquisition of land, tentative locations with the goal of maintaining
acreage per citizen, as currently provided. The policy would also include
alternatives for acquiring park land, dedication, special funding and
other viable alternatives. Another element of the study would be the
potential for dual use of school sites. It was agreed that there would be a
preliminary discussion with the Parks and Recreation Commission concerning
this study prior to its preparation. (Showalter)

roll call vote unanimous, 7/0, all Councilmembers
present. The Mayor declared the resolution
adopted.
Recommendations from Boards and Commissions
noted as follows: Committee on Community Needs:
(1) That the City not acquire the following proper-
ties for the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood
Revitalization Project: 201 E. Benton Street, 912
S. Dubuque Street, and 914 S. Dubuque Street. This
recommendation was made in light of the current
austerity which led the Committee to consider
possible cutbacks in the program which would not
result in a loss of flood protection. (The
estimated cost savings to the project is $209,000.)
(2) That there are no problems which. can be
eliminated from the (1982 COBG) budget at this time
in order to provide additional funds for the
Ralston Creek North Branch Dam. Recommendations of
the Housing Commission: (1) That CDBG funds for
FY82, specifically the $129,000 allocated for
Housing Rehabilitation and the $12,000 for Code
Enforcement be left alone, as they are, for those
specific items, due to the fact that Housing
Rehabilitation deals specifically with improving
the quality of housing in our community, not only
for the elderly, but ultimately those houses will
remain livable, restored and not deteriorating.
(2) That the CIP funds for FY82, specifically the
$250,000 allocated and approved by Council for
Assisted Housing be utilized for the purposes as
outlined in the memo attached to the minutes of
October 21-22 meetings. (3) That the Housing
Commission would encourage the City Council to use
Industrial Revenue Bonds for residential uses.
Recommendation of the Resources Conservation
Commission that at any time bus fares are raised,
parking fees shall be raised by an equal or greater
percentage.
Moved by Vevera, seconded by Neuhauser, to
adopt RES. 81-290, 8k. 70, pp. 2066-2067, ADOPTING
AN AMENDMENT TO THE INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BOND POLICY
FOR THE CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA, enlarging the

Oakes Meadow and Waters Subdivisions
Boothroy advised that a separate legal document providing for construction 1-120
of paving and sidewalks, and other public improvements, from Brookside Dr.
to Muscatine Ave, was needed if the preliminary Oakes Meadow Subd. was to
be adopted by Council. Council was not in favor of waiving any sidewalk
construction. Staff will advise if document is received prior to the
formal meeting.

Councilman Lynch arrived, 3:15 P.M.
Regarding land acquisition, he advised that Council is familiar with this
area, and everything is on course. The Sheller -Globe case is of great
significance to the City, and is taking a lot Of time. Jansen commented
that he is also available to the City Manager and staff on a day-to-day
basis. The new zoning ordinance is a tandem effort with Schmeiser/Planning.
Jansen is starting the legal review of the ordinance text and probably will
finish in early January. He thought that the ordinance, in it's completed
form, would be to P&Z, and hearings could be held, by early summer, so it
would be forwarded to Council by fall. A time -table will be worked out,
and status report given.

Informal Council
November 23, 1981
The petition from residents, on the agenda, requesting a moratoirum
on demolition and building permits in areas to be downzoned was dis-
cussed. The exact area is not known. City Manager Berlin summarized
Council's decision as, it will be appropriate to consider the proposal
at the time when specific recommendations go to P&Z for downzoning the
area. If staff has any strong feelings about whether this is the way
to follow, they are to let Council know.
CAMPAIGN FINANCE ORDINANCE CHANGES 275-460
Vevera comnente tat t e -memo the City Manager, the City Attorney,
and the City Clerk did not solve any of the problems regarding the dead-
line for reporting of contributions. If the ordinance is not enforced,
he stated, why have it? He thought the State regulations for reporting
contributions were sufficient. Neuhauser agreed. Berlin noted that the
staff had also had these questions, and thought the purpose of the
legislation was to make all contributions public, and the remedy was
unworkable, as it is absurd to have the staff have the responsibility
to enforce the ordinance. Lynch questioned the procedure needed to
amend the charter. Neuhauser asked if the Council had the power to en-
force the penalty now in the Ordinance. Jansen commented that that is
a question which would arise in trying to enforce the present penalty.
She suggested publishing all contributions. Some did not want the City
to pay for publishing. Several agreed on elimination of filing with
the City. The City Attorney, City Manager and City Clerk were directed
to come back with a solution regarding filing, and with a workable
penalty. Roberts voiced dissatisfaction with public access TV programs
A4 the candidates. Berlin offered to go to
which were biased regar Ing
the CATV Commission and ask for guidelines for local elections. Procedures
as used in commercial TV were suggested. Council agreed that guidelines
are needed, and the City Manager will follow up with the CATV Commission.

it was decided the new Councilmembers would take the oath at the Dec. 8th
meeting. There were no objections to the schedule from those present.
COUNCIL BUSINESS
Mayor Balmer commended City employees for their generous giving co
the United Way Campaign this year, an increase of 36% over last year.
Balmer stated he was not interested in the two signalization projects
on Governor and Burlington Sts. as outlined in the memo. They will
be discussed at the Capital Improvements Program meeting. Neuhauser
advised she would not be present for the Nov. 30th meeting and the
discussion of the CIP.

3. The Mayor suggested that the Assistant City Manager set up a meeting
of the Council Legislative Committee with the area Legislators in
December, and prepare an agenda of discussion items.
AGENDA
1. Vevera advised he would be voting 'no' on the Resolution re CDBG
program statement, Item 15, because of the amount for Public Housing.
2. Balmer commented that he did not favor flag poles for City Plaza.
Berlin will check the status of the contract. No one favored spending
City money on them.

BUDGET FY'83
Councilmembers-elect McDonald and Dickson were asked to participate in
the preliminary discussion of the FY:'83 Budget. Berlin asked for
direction for the Staff in certain areas as noted in his memo, with
the understanding that this will not be a final commitment.
Vitosh commented that assuming the City maintains the current level of
services, she has estimated that we are short $600,000 in revenue.
$250,000 of expenditures have already been reduced from department
budget requests. This assumes a 12% reduction in revenue sharing,
and that we get the same amount of federal aid for transit for operating
expense as we did this fiscal year. Lynch asked consideration that
the first priority be to maintain the status quo, that staff recommend
where to come up with the $600,000, and that expanded services be a
secondary consideration.
Berlin commented that revenue sources available are the same as for
previous years, and for a sufficient block of money, the following
sources could be discussed: the transfer of certain insurance costs from
the General Fund to Trust and Agency; the transit levy; the property tax;
increase in refuse collection fee, or transit fares. Neuhauser called
attention to McDonald's suggestion for a policy on the relation between
the transit fares and the amount of subsidy the City puts in, and also
a policy regarding garbage collection fees. Berlin offered to provide
information regarding statistics on what is common among communities
who provide these kinds of services. Vitosh added that she would provide
information on what the City has funded in the past and can provide infor-
mation on how much money certain alternatives would raise. Several
Councilmembers favored consideration of a transit policy as suggested
by McDonald.
To maintain flexibility in collective bargaining, the issue of fire-
fighters doing housing inspections was not discussed. Revenue sharing
expected to be received in FY83 amounts to $593,000. Mayor Balmer
stated that the Council Legislative Committee will discuss passage of
a local option tax with the area legislators, and suggested securing
the aid of the Chamber of Commerce to work on it with the City, and
to pursue with the Coralville Council the proposal to put the hotel -
motel tax question on the ballot. Neuhauser proposed that if a local
option tax is put on the ballot, that Council give a commitment for
funding a certain purpose with the revenue. Others agreed. Everyone,
including the Councilmembers-elect, agreed to not chart new areas until
current services are provided for.
City Manager Berlin pointed out one new area where expansion of services
will need to be discussed, the use of franchise fees from CATV. All
agreed that the first priority was for the general fund to be reimbursed,
and to maintain the current level of service now provided by the CATV
Specialist and the Library.

Polic Ch'
e el Miller will be explaining his request for additional
Police officers. Vitosh stated that the final ending balance for
FY'82 will be $600,000 although $700,000 is more appropriate figure
to carry over. For FY 81 the ending balance was $600,000. The
additional property tax revenue that will be received from downtown
renewal will be approximately $500,000 when it all tax is finally added to
the tax base. The revenue figures she has used for these calculations
include the increased assessed valuations added so far.
All agreed to put in a percentage increase for Human Services Agencies in
the proposed budget, as has been done in the past. Adjusting can be
done later. There will be two new requests, MECCA and the Lakeside
Neighborhood Center. Vitosh advised that all profits from permits
for Sunday sales of liquor and beer go to Johnson County for alcohol
programs. Figures showing Iowa City's contributions will be provided.
Berlin noted the revised budget discussion calendar provided.
