Council will reiterate its opposition to limits on taxation. MICROFILMED DY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 1893-2093 Page 3 PLAZA TOWNERS ASSOCIATES PROGRESS REPORT Informal Council December 7, 1981 Freda Hieronymus and Attorney Oehler present. Hieronymus stated that they are still working on financing for the Hotel/Armstrongs project. Armstrongs want to open their store by the fall of 1983. She pointed out that the market has been poor for the sale of bonds, and discussed their difficulty in planning for use of Industrial Revenue Bonds for a several million dollar bond issue. The time deadline in the contract calls for signing the contract by February. 16, 1982, and issuance of IRB's by March 18, 1982. The contract calls for building the hotel and Armstrongs as one package. 2093-2283 ALTERNATIVES TO NEW SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT 2283-2692 Consultant Jim Kinin from Veenstra A Kim present. In answer to several questions, Kinin stated that Reagan's modified proposal, not accepting expansion for growth would not affect Iowa City that much, but Iowa City could compromise and design for ten years in the future and not for as much industrial expansion. City Manager Berlin advised that the City could live with either the Senate or House proposal. Kimn commented that on the State priority system, Iowa City does not have a high priority, al.tho Des Moines is not as ready as Iowa City, they are a higher priority. Councilman Lynch present, 4:00 PM. Kimm said that - Iowa City's treatment plant is toward the end of its useful life, and does not always meet the standards, and Iowa City should plan what to do in the interim until Federal funding does come. In answer to the question whether or not Iowa City should purchase the land for the site, he thought Iowa City should be able to show the federal government that it has a piece of land. Councilman Erdahl present, 4:10 PM. Kim thought that the disposal of the federal portion of funding would be dictated by Congress. Although in some grant formulas the federal share will be reduced 10%, this will not apply to Iowa City as we are in Step 2 of our Plan already. Any lobbying should be on the Federal level as the State is interested in supply of water, saving soil, etc. Several Councilmembers were not interested in funding a study for an alternate plan. The Mayor advised that the City would not proceed with the contract as proposed on the agenda, until things are clearer for a course of action. APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS 2692 -End Councilmembers agreed on the following appointments: Board of Adjustment- N81-15 Milligan.

Hauer presented a map showing parcel for library and parcel for parking, a memo of the evaluation criteria, and a mockup of the brochure. Regard- ing the parking jot, the consensus of the Council was to keep the options open. The City Manager will reword to make it clear what Council's in- tention is. Councilman Erdahl arrived, 3:10 PM. Wording in the criteria regarding developer's experience in working with the City will be clarified so that it does not exclude those not local. Hauer has had several inquiries, given several tours. Some have wanted to purchase a small amount of space near the building to assure parking. The renovation of the building will have to conform to the Building Code. COUNCIL BUSINESS 1. The Mayor called attention to the executive session on Thursday at 4 PM. Steve Rynecki will be here to discuss the AFSCME and Police collective bargaining contracts. 2. Thursday is also the meeting of the East Central Iowa Council'of Governments. Comments were made regarding future and funding for JCCOG. At a recent meeting, City representatives gave a recommenda- tion on the option they favored. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS 167-1310 The City Manager stated that he would go thru all the projects and Council could comment on priority as listed or ask questions. Item 1. Bus Maintenance Building -This project will be in limbo until a major source of funding for the overall project is available. 2. Remodeling of the Police Department -After discussion of the Space Study next week, if there are no plans for the near future, funding should be added to the operating budget for ceiling and lights. 3. Traffic Engineering -Service Bay Renovation -If the transit build- ing is situated at the Equipment Maintenance Service Building area, there might be a shifting of other facilities, so staff will not proceed on this request. 4. Camp Cardinal Road Bridge -This bridge serves four families, and has been repaired. An alternative project might be possible after FW518 has been built. Repair of any bridges in Iowa City is not high on the IDOT list of bridges to be repaired with State funding. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1401NES \.

Iowa Ave. Bridge and Burlington St. Bridge. The estimate for this reconstruction includes an increase for inflation. The proposal for Iowa Avenue is being prepared by Engr. Schmadeke. 10. & 11. A memo explaining these has been received from Staff. Council requested alternatives for the Governor/Burlington Signalization, but agreed to proceeding with the Highway 6/Fair- meadows Signalization with State participation in funding. 12. Funding will be used to purchase right-of-way for Foster Road between Dubuque and Prairie du Chien Road. This is not Glasgow's property. 13. Dubuque St. Reconstruction -The asphalt removed will be used to pave parking lots. No other streets would be done next year. Balmer called attention to the condition of First Avenue. Neuhauser pointed out that motorists are not using the right lane of N. Dubuque because of the deep dips for catch -basins. Schmadeke advised that the City is not keeping up with repair and maintenance of all the streets because of limited financing. 14. Kimball Road Curb and Sidewalk Improvements -The final word for the explanation paragraph should be 'assessment'. There is limited right-of-way to widen this street, which is narrower than Melrose Court. Property.owners can be assessed for the work. Schmadeke advised that the curb should be installed first and to do that, the sidewalk would have to be removed, as it is next to the curb. This is a walkway to school. 18. Railroad Crossing Improvements -First Avenue. State will now fund 1/3 of cost. Council did not think this crossing was bad enough to repair. 20,21,22 -Linn, Dubuque and Clinton Street Improvements -There was general agreement by Council to participate in funding for repair of sidewalks on Dubuque Street by issuance of G.O. Bonds if there was participation from the merchants. Staff could repackage this project regarding funding for sidewalks, vault, public amenities, lighting, participation by Project Green and property owners. A commitment has been made to do Linn St. 23. Blackhawk Minipark-Council questioned spending this proposed money. Only temporary work will be done. 24. CBD Alley Project, Final Phase -City Manager Berlin will check on which block the work will be done. 25. New Swimming Pool City Park -Showalter stated that the fee for one admission to a 'Wave -Tek' pool could be from 43 to $5. Councilmembers favored a fee at a level that could be afford- ed by everyone. Some Councilmembers wanted to investigate building a pool which could be used year-round. 26. Racquetball/Handball Courts -As the University will be providing more racquetball courts, the Council questioned keeping this item in the CIP schedule. It was suggested that in future surveys, various improvements be listed for citizens to rank priority. Neuhauser called attention to complaints that there are no provisions for ice-skating in Iowa City. 27. Napoleon Park -Staff has completed building of the Mercer Park Maintenance Bldg. Showalter was directed to move the flagpole from Happy Hollow Park to Mercer Park. The City Manager was requested to explore the possibility of offers of funding from agencies and service clubs who wish to contribute to city improvements (such as park improvements).

Showalter will be reporting next month on how park land can be acquired. Elm Grove Park was not sold, so there was no start for a pork acquisition fund. Balmer called attention to continuing to explore joint use of school grounds. 33 thru 36. Bikeways -Sources of funding have not been identified. Regarding the Rocky Shore Bikeway, Project Green has been talk- ing with the University. Berlin thought recycled asphalt would not be satisfactory for a bikeway. Use of receipts from bicycle licensing, and a possible raise in fees was discussed. This will be scheduled for discussion with the bicycle groups. 37. Wastewater Treatment Facility -City Manager Berlin relayed the present status regarding federal funding for Iowa City. It is still at the 75% federal funding. Regarding the site, regula- tions currently require that the land be acquired or be in process of condemnation by the time the City is at Step 3 of the grant. He advised waiting to see what bill the President accepts. 38. University Heights Interceptor Sewer -This needs to be constructed before the Benton/Riverside intersection is started. It should be called the Benton Street Interceptor. 41. North Corridor Sewer -Extension was discussed in conjunction with the Oakes Subdivision. Berlin and Schmadeke clarified that this extension is needed to serve the Oakes development, as the River Corridor Sewer stops at Taft Speedway. 42. East Side Trunk Sewer -Elimination of 4200' of deteriorated sani- tary sewer from the Treatment Plant to Iowa Ave., will necessitate transferring University buildings to the new Corridor Sewer. This project was not done in conjunction with the Corridor Sewer as it was not eligible for federal funding. The trade-off with the University regarding sludge from the University Wastewater Treatment Plant did not work out. 43. Southwest Interceptor Sewer replacement -This services Mark IV Apts. primarily and the West Side Lift Station dumps into it. Development west will tie into this line. Is a priority as it may collapse. The sewer for the Johnson County Home already ties into this line, and the replacement will start at that tie-in and go to Mark IV. 44. Taft Speedway Sanitary Sewer Extension. There are no plans to replace the road surface. 46 thru 49. Airport Improvements. The Master Plan, Council has indicated it would put some money aside for this, and there will be a request in the operating budget. The Runway Crack Sealing should be a priority, and this was taken into 'account as the operating budget.for the Airport was prepared. Berlin suggested that T -hangar construction be financed some other way. COUNCIL BUSINESS Neuhauser questioned when the letter and questions from Leon Lyvers would be discussed. Berlin said that Showalter would be discussing these at budget time. We are not keeping up with trimming, replacement. Balmer commented that this could be an area for service club's assistance.

DISPOSAL OF OLD LIBRARY SITE 44-167 City Manager Berlin called attention to the memo in the packet. Hauer presented a snap showing parcel for library and parcel for parking, a memo of the evaluation criteria, and a mockup of the brochure. Regard- ing the parking lot, the consensus of the Council was to keep the options open. The City Manager will reword to make it clear what Council's in- tention is. Councilman Erdahl arrived, 3:10 P14. Wording in the criteria regarding developer's experience in working with the City will be clarified so that it does not exclude those not local.

The renovation of the building will have to conform to the Building Code. COUNCIL BUSINESS 1. The Mayor called attention to the executive session on Thursday at 4 PM. Steve Rynecki will be here to discuss the AFSCME and Police collective bargaining contracts. 2. Thursday is also the meeting of the East Central Iowa Council of Governments. Comments were made regarding future and funding for JCCOG. At a recent meeting, City representatives gave a recommenda- tion on the option they favored. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS 167-1310 The City Manager stated that he would go thru all the projects and Council could convent on priority as listed or ask questions. Item 1. Bus Maintenance Building -This project will be in limbo until a major source of funding for the overall project is available. 2. Remodeling of the Police Department -After discussion of the Space Study next week, if there are no plans for the near future, funding should be added to the operating budget for ceiling and lights. 3. Traffic Engineering -Service Bay Renovation -If the transit build- ing is situated at the Equipment Maintenance Service Building area, there might be a shifting of other facilities, so staff will not proceed on this request. 4. Camp Cardinal Road Bridge -This bridge serves four families, and has been repaired. An alternative project might be possible after FW518 has been built. Repair of any bridges in Iowa City is not high on the IDOT list of bridges to be repaired with State funding.

Schmadeke advised that this storm sewer had failed and has to be replaced. -Dodge St./Ralston Creek Repair. 6. & 7. Iowa Ave. Bridge and Burlington St. Bridge. The estimate for this reconstruction include, an increase for inflation. The proposal for Iowa Avenue is being prepared by Engr. Schmadeke. 10. & 11. A memo explaining these has been received from Staff. Council requested alternatives for the Governor/Burlington Signalization, but agreed to proceeding with the Highway 6/Fair- meadows Signalization with State participation in funding. 12. Funding will be used to purchase right-of-way for Foster Road between Dubuque and Prairie du Chien Road. This is not Glasgow's property. 13. Dubuque St. Reconstruction -The asphalt removed will be used to pave parking lots. No other streets would be done next year. Balmer called attention to the condition of First Avenue. Neuhauser pointed out that motorists are not using the right lane of N. Dubuque because of the deep dips for catch -basins. Schmadeke advised that the City is not keeping up with repair and maintenance of all the streets because of limited financing. 14. Kimball Road Curb and Sidewalk Improvements -The final word for the explanation paragraph should be 'assessment'. There is limited right-of-way to widen this street, which is narrower than Melrose Court. Property owners can be assessed for the work. Schmadeke advised that the curb should be installed first and to do that, the sidewalk would have to be removed, as it is next to the curb. This is a walkway to school. 18. Railroad Crossing Improvements -First Avenue. State will now fund 1/3 of cost. Council did not think this crossing was bad enough to repair. 20,21,22 -Linn, Dubuque and Clinton Street Improvements -There was general agreement by Council to participate in funding for repair of sidewalks on Dubuque Street by issuance of G.J. Bonds if there was participation from the merchants. Staff could repackage this project regarding funding for sidewalks, vault, public amenities, lighting, participation by Project Green and property owners. A comnitment has been made to do Linn St. 23. Blackhawk Minipark-Council questioned spending this proposed money. Only temporary work will be done. 24. CBD Alley Project, Final Phase -City Manager Berlin will check on which block the work will be done. 25. New Swimming Pool City Park -Showalter stated that the fee for one admission to a 'Wave -Tek' pool could be from S3 to S5. Councilmembers favored a fee at a level that could be afford- ed by everyone. Some Councilmembers wanted to investigate building a pool which could be used year-round. 26. Racquetball/Handball Courts -As the University will be providing more racquetball courts, the Council questioned keeping this item in the CIP schedule. It was suggested that in future surveys, various improvements be listed for citizens to rank priority. Neuhauser called attention to complaints that there are no provisions for ice-skating in Iowa City. 27. Napoleon Park -Staff has completed building of the Mercer Park Maintenance Bldg. Showalter was directed to move the flagpole from Happy Hollow Park to Mercer Park. The City Manager was requested to explore the possibility of offers of funding from agencies and service clubs who wish to contribute to city improvements (such as park improvements).

Showalter will be reporting next month on how park land can be acquired. Elm Grove Park was not sold, so there was no start for a park acquisition fund. Balmer called attention to continuing to explore joint use of school grounds. 33 thru 36. Bikeways -Sources of funding have not been identified. Regarding the Rocky Shore Bikeway, Project Green has been talk- ing with the University. Berlin thought recycled asphalt would not be satisfactory for a bikeway. Use of receipts from bicycle licensing, and a possible raise in fees was discussed. This will be scheduled for discussion with the bicycle groups. 37. Wastewater Treatment Facility -City Manager Berlin relayed the present status regarding federal funding for Iowa City. It is still at the 75% federal funding. Regarding the site, regula- tions currently require that the land be acquired or be in process of condemnation by the time the City is at Step 3 of the grant. He advised waiting to see what bill the President accepts. 38. University Heights Interceptor Sewer -This needs to be constructed before the Benton/Riverside intersection is started. It should be called the Benton Street Interceptor. 41. North Corridor Sewer -Extension was discussed in conjunction with the Oakes Subdivision. Berlin and Schmadeke clarified that this extension is needed to serve the Oakes development, as the River Corridor Sewer stops at Taft Speedway. 42.

Mayor John Balmer presiding. COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT: Neuhauser, Balmer, Perret. Absent: None LEGISLATORS PRESENT: Senator Arthur Small, Representative Jean Lloyd -Jones, Representative Minette Doderer. STAFFMEMBERS PRESENT: City Manager Berlin, City Clerk Abbie Stolfus, Assistant City Manager Dale Helling. Mayor Balmer called attention to the agenda provided for the meeting. He questioned what the state function would be in handling the block grants. The Appropriation Committee has appointed a sub -committee, and this committee is sending a questionnaire to local officials so that problems can be identified. Regarding passage of a Local Option Tax bill, it was pointed out that cities have not taken advantage of hotel -motel tax. Balmer thought that it was possible that there was not so much opposition to it as previously. Doderer pointed out proposal for It across the board sales tax. Iowa City did not want to impose hotel/motel tax unless Coralville did. This would need a referendum. Perret suggested a wheel tax. Cost of two levels of government (City and County) was noted. Certain areas of cooperation could be investigated. The comment was made that it was wasteful to add two more supervisors, and that it was even hard to get two cities to combine. Small noted that the bill regarding tort liability had passed the Senate. Neuhauser will send a copy of the Iowa Law Review article written by Dan Ellis to the legislators. Municipal Assistance was appropriated for two years, so should be the same unless the Governor makes an across the board cut. It is a problem as the federal budget is not yet set. City Mgr. Berlin questioned who was in charge at Department of Environmental Quality. Small advised going thru Stanek at OPP. If necessary, cities might be given a delay in time for certifying the budget. Regarding funding for Mass Transit, the legislators thought there would be no change in the appropriation. They also suggested that cities join forces to lobby. There was discussion of the Land Use bill. The League's participation was suggested. Small explained a tie-in to tax abatement as has been done in the East U.S. It was decided that the next meeting would be in February. Meeting adjourned, 10:00 A.M.
