TO: City
11ffCouncil
FROM: Ci�AAger
RE: Computer Acquisition
If you have limited time available to review the packet and agenda informa-
tion, I urge you to devote your time to the memorandum from Rosemary relating
to the computer. Jor at least five years, the City has been periodically
evaluating the use of a data processing service bureau vs. in-house computer
capabilities.
In making the recommendation to acquire data processing capabilities, the
City has relied extensively on assistance from the staff of the University
Computer Center and the Community Technology Improvement Program of Public
Technology, Inc. Perhaps most importantly, Rosemary has visited communities
which are extremely satisfied with the program that is being recommended to
you.
The recommendation is being made at this time because of increased charges
to the City from the data processing service bureau, expected additional
charges in the future and significant changes in computer technology and
costs. We did not wish to make a recommendation until we could demonstrate
to you: 1) that the acquisition of in-house data processing capabilities
was cost effective, and 2) the data processing needs of the City could be
performed without additional personnel. The enclosed recommendation satisfies
both of these requirements. The proposal will be discussed at the informal
session.on Monday.

MEMORANDUM
Date: September 12, 1980
To: City Manager and City Council
From: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance
Re: Computer Acquisition
History
The oldest available record on the City's data processing activity is a
consultant's report prepared in 1969 which presented an overview of the
status of data processing in the City at that time. The City was
contracting with Measurement Research Corporation to process three
applications (revenues, disbursements and voter registration files) at a
cost of $4,000 for 1967, $6,600 for 1968, and $7,500 for 1969. At that
time it was recommended that the City investigate the acquisition of its
own in-house computer.
In approximately 1972, the City contracted with its current data
processing service bureau. Since that time the following applications
have been added: payroll, landfill billing, water, sewer, refuse
collection billing, vehicle maintenance, reports on use of vacation and
sick leave, and negotiations modeling. The FY81 budget for data
processing cost is $72,000. In addition, this budget will need to be
amended and increased by $13,000 because of unanticipated price increases
just received from the service bureau. This results in a total FY81
budgeted cost of $85,668. '
Recent Analysis
The current annual data processing cost has increased over eleven times
that of 1969. It is this increase throughout the years that has been the
impetus for several analyses of the City's data processing status and the
advisability of the acquisition of an in-house computer system. An
analysis, done in 1977 by City staff and a University Computer Center
employee, recommended the continued use of the City's service bureau as
there did not exist, at that time, any evidence of sufficient economies or
service benefits from the acquisition of an in-house computer system.
Because computer hardware costs began to decrease drastically and because
the need for increased management information began to surface in most
City departments, an analysis was again initiated in late 1978. At that
time, because staff did not feel qualified to evaluate the current data
processing status, two C.P.A. firms with management advisory service
staff in the data processing area were contacted regarding proposals for
an electronic data processing evaluation for the City. The cost of such
consulting services proved to be prohibitive and the staff then
recommended that the Finance Department proceed with an analysis of needs
and review the availability of computer hardware and software.

Early in 1979, the Finance Director, the Controller and the Purchasing
Agent were designated to work through such an analysis. These three
attended a seminar on "Computers in Local Governments" to gain a working
knowledge of the current computer market, the analysis necessary in
evaluating data processing needs and the process of acquisition of
hardware and software.
The first phase of the analysis involved discussions with all departments
regarding current needs, future needs, and blue sky dreams in the data
processing area. The second phase involved identification of the City's
immediate needs, both current applications and new applications. In the
third phase, the request for proposals was prepared. We are now
completing the fourth phase, or the evaluation of proposals and this
report constitutes a recommendation to the City Manager and City Council.
During the third phase, the City was fortunate to gain the assistance of
an employee of the University Computer Center. He has provided the
necessary technical expertise that was lacking in our non -data
processing -oriented City staff committee and gave staff the confidence to
forge ahead with the analysis. This has been an excellent example of the
cooperative spirit between the University and City government and points
out that valuable resources are available locally in Iowa City.
Also during the third phase, The Community Technology Improvement Program
of Public Technology, Inc. was contacted and the City did receive
information from them regarding their assistance to other municipalities
on computer acquisition and detailed information on some hardware and
software systems which they felt were providing extraordinary benefits to
municipalities. This assistance was very helpful and did provide much
guidance to us in the preparation of our request for proposals.
Requests for Proposals on Computer Systems
On July 15, 1980, a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a computer system to
support the needs of the City of Iowa City was mailed, with interested
vendors responding on August 12, 1980. The purpose of this Request for
Proposal (RFP) was to provide interested vendors with sufficient
information, enabling them to propose and submit bids for computer
hardware, support software, application software and installation and
maintenance support for consideration by the City of Iowa City to fulfill
the information processing needs of the City and its departments. The RFP
includes all the components for a complete system as listed below:
a. Information Requirements: The broad information base needed for
management, operations, planning and policy decisions.
b. Data Needs and Flows: Specific data items needed for information
requirevents above. Current applications provide detailed
information by Division.
MICROFIL711111A1181
DORM M
CE0f1R 111111

C. Data Base Management Software: A computer program that focuses on
manipulation, organization, control and display of complete data
elements.
d. Input/Output Access Routines: Small computer programs that control
the format and flow of data into and out of the computer.
e. Operating System: A "master" program that controls the total
operation of a computer provided by the vendor.
f. Computer Hardware: The actual computer machine components.
Traditionally, cities have used a bottom up approach which focuses on
computer hardware, that is, beginning with "f" and moving backwards to "a"
above. Currently, City management is stressing the top down approach
which focuses on information management, that is, beginning with "a" above
and working forward to "f". The City is using the most current approach
whereby we focus on information management and less on hardware and
evaluate it based on City needs and long-range life cycle costing rather
than the initial low cost system basis.
The City's current service bureau has provided hardware and staff to
program software but with the current budget restrictions and limitations
of funds, the City is finding a greater need for information management in
a timely fashion (i.e., more timely preparation of financial reports, more
timely and frequent budget monitoring, availability of personnel
information, accumulation and accessibility of data needed for the
preparation of federal, state and local reports, and grant applications,
energy conservation monitoring).
EVALUATION OF RFP'S
1. The proposals had to stand on their own and not rely on oral
presentations. The RFP's were to be the only method for detailed
study of the computer system proposed and where information was not
included or adequate information not provided to meet the
requirements, the City assumed that the information was not
available. Vendors were responsible for providing alternate
proposals if their firm alone could not provide the requested
information. RFP's were evaluated based on the following:
- Specific guidelines for bidding
- Mandatory requirements
- Desirable requirements
- Hardware and software requirements
2. Point evaluation - The proposal was divided into sections and points
were assigned based upon the importance of each section. Those
sections considered most important had the highest number of
possible points and included items such as application software,
mandatory and desirable requirements. A total of 505 points was
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MIC R+LA13
CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES
4
i
Possible and the total points gained by a vendor was used in the
final evaluation and ranking of vendors.
3. Major differences between vendors - The data base manager, a
mandatory requirement in our RFP, was available through very few
vendors. With a data base manager, all data is under one big
S' umbrella, controlled by one master program, so that anyone can access
the data to get the information they need regardless of where the
data originated from. Our current data processing applications are
independent, non-integrated and do not share data.
4. Personnel Considerations - It was required that the system proposed
be capable of being operated by existing personnel who have minimal
data processing experience. It is expected that a user/operator
training program will be required, but it is anticipated that any
software maintenance changes, modifications or revisions will be
accomplished by City staff without employing computer programmers or
the vendor to do such work.
5. Life Cycle Costing - The City evaluated not only the initial cost of
hardware and software, but the long-term costs that the City could
anticipate over a period of time. Maintenance, modifications and
revisions have been a constant cost to the City during its contract
with the service bureau. Most recently the City was quoted $1200 to
make a minor change to its Equipment Maintenance System to
accommodate the Energy Coordinator's needs. Over the past three
years the City has averaged $6,478 per year in programming costs for
changes or revisions and many programs (utility billing and payroll)
are at a point where major revision and changes are needed. This
additional cost will be significant. Recently, the City received an
increase in programming charges from $25 per hour to $40 per hour, a
62% increase. This. would result in the City's average annual
programming costs for changes or revisions increasing from
approximately $6,478 to $10,365. Based upon the proposed costs of
developing new computer applications as received in the bids, the
City could plan on spending approximately $14,000 per new
application. We do consider the new applications of parking ticket
billing and a personnel information system priority needs at this
time.
RESULTS OF THE RFP EVALUATION
Evaluation of the RFP's was conducted by the Director of Finance,
Controller, Purchasing Agent, and a staff member from the University of
Iowa Computer Center. The City received six proposals. Access
International, a full-service computer corporation specializing in
1 Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) computers and ADMINS software,
provided the best overall proposal. Access provides a system and support
which most completely meets the City's current and future needs.
ADMINS/11 is a new approach in the design and operation of on-line
administrative applications.

The ADMINS/11 software consists of a number of related computer programs
(commands) that together form the basis for the development and operation
of administrative and management information applications. These
programs are operated on - line, by a user at a terminal, to perform a wide
variety of functions on ADMINS/11 files.
The terminal consists of a keyboard similar to that of a typewriter and a
screen similar to a fourteen -inch TV screen. The terminal is "on-line" or
directly wired to the computer and is actually updating computer data
files or doing computations right on the spot. This enables the user to
input information/data, have computer files updated immediately and
review the finished product immediately. Corrections can then be made or
updated information is then available for use.
The terminal could also be used to access historical data files. For
example, a water customer could be given detailed information within
seconds on his account as to past billings, past payments, deposits and
any current outstanding balance. Under our current system, it is very
time-consuming to look up this information as approximately six different
computer printouts must be used.
The instructions to the computer which are entered on the terminal and
used for inputting information, accessing files, and manipulating data
for different reports is designed so that the user can work with the
system and even make significant changes to the system. The ADMINS/11
software was designed to be used by non -data processing personnel and
although some training will be necessary we definitely will not need to
educate any staff in computer programming or hire any professional data
processing employees.
Computer System Configuration:
Admins, Inc. - Developed the ADMINS/11 software, a data management
system which can be utilized by non -data processing professionals.
Access International, Inc. - Supplies the PDP -11/44 mini computer
system as well as a variety of services in support of the computer.
Digital Equipment Corporation - Manufactures the PDP -11/44 mini
computer and maintains the computer equipment under field service
maintenance contracts.
Management Information Systems and Training, Inc. (MISTI) - Supplies
software and systems consulting, specializing in installation of
municipal computer application systems.
The ADMINS/MISTI/ACCESS approach to municipal computer use is devoted to
placing the power of the technology in the hands of municipal employees,
thus allowing them to improve their productivity and effectiveness. MISTI
provides training and technical assistance support to employees of the
City as they acquire a sufficient understanding and ability to utilize the
/7y8

ADMINS software data handling tools. In addition a City Information
Specialist appointed from current staff will be used to design and develop
applications for the system.
This approach is a distinct departure from traditional approaches used by
other computer hardware and software vendors. It places the
responsibility on the employee to shape and use computers in a fashion
which they know best and around their specific needs. Applications have
been developed by ADMINS/11 users such as policemen, finance directors,
accounting clerks, etc. and these applications will be available for the
City to utilize in setting up our own unique applications. The point to
be emphasized is that ADMINS/11 can be, and has been, quickly introduced
to existing personnel, most of whom have had little or nor prior data
processing experience. In the long run this is the most cost-effective
approach to computer use for Iowa City.
Upon completion of Parking Ramp B, Parking Systems will move to the ramp
and Finance has been authorized to complete minor remodeling (included in
FY81 budget) with the Accounting Division moving to the area formerly
occupied by Parking, allowing room for an in-house computer.
The computer system installation will be in a room set aside for the
actual central processing unit, tape drive, disk drive, and system
console. There is relatively little activity near the machine, with the
exception of an occasional tape to be mounted for back-up purposes. The
equipment itself does not require a special room configuration and the
temperature and humidity requirements are broad enough that often just a
window air conditioner will be sufficient to keep the machine within
tolerances. Most of the activity will happen at the terminals, at which
all file editing, data entry, and the initiation of "batch -like" serial
tasks will take place. The terminals will be located within the operating
departments, and run not by professional keypunchers or computer
operators but the staff responsible for day-to-day operations. The
Information Specialist will have the responsibility of being a "contact
person" or coordinator of system activities.
Funding of Acquisition Cost
The data processing budget in FY81, after amendment for recent price
increases, will be $85,668. This includes the annual processing costs for
the current computer applications and the program development for the
parking ticket billing program, some personnel information programs, and
a new payroll program. Once the program is developed, annual processing
costs would be approximately equivalent to the programming costs. Thus,
the City can expect annual data processing costs of approximately $86,000
plus any price increases if we continue to use a service bureau. As
discussed previously, many of our current applications are inadequate and
will need upgrading and this will add to the annual data processing costs.
If any new computer applications are added, the programming cost and
subsequent processing costs will also add to the annual costs.

;i Acquisition costs of the Admins/11 system are shown on Exhibit A. Total
r hardware cost would be $163,800. An agreement must be obtained from
Admins, Inc. for the use of the Admins/11 software. A one-time charge of
$40,000 for a license fee is paid after installation of the software. An
-i annual maintenance charge of $4,000 is payable six months after
installation and every twelve months after that. This covers maintenance
and improvements to the. Admins/11 software. It is estimated to cost
approximately $10,000 for initial software development. This would
include assistance and training from MISTI (Management Information
i' Systems and Training, Inc.), one of two software and system consulting
firms which specialize in the installation and development of Admins/11
i' systems. It is anticipated that the majority of the City's current
computer applications could be converted and installed on the new system
by June 30, 1981. MISTI would be used intensively for the first six
months after installation in order to facilitate the conversion from the
service bureau to our in-house system and for the training of our staff.
After June 30, 1981, City staff should be trained to the point where they
can handle the majority of system development and MISTI will then be used
for periodic consultation only.
The actual costs also include three months of a maintenance contract on
the hardware. This covers both preventative maintenance service and
remedial maintenance.
Total acquisition costs amount to $217,610.
V
Exhibit 8 shows what funding is now available and the additional funding
needed. The utility billing system (water/sewer billing) is currently
one-third of our total data processing cost. Therefore, one-third of the
acquisition cost of this computer system should be funded by the water and
sewer enterprise funds. This would provide $74,203 in funding and is
available in the fund balance of those funds.
In the General Fund, a carryover of $22,913 will be made this year as a
result of unexpended data processing funds in the FY80 budget. These
funds had been budgeted for programming of the parking ticket billing
4 system, personnel records system, and improvements to the utility billing
system but expenditure was delayed until the computer system analysis was
completed. The FY81 budget includes $11,200 for the programming of a new
payroll system and additional personnel record systems. It also includes
1 $10,000 for twelve month processing of the parking ticket system.
Therefore, total' available funds in the General Fund are $44,113.
Of that amount, $24,113 could be used for the initial acquisition costs.
The other $20,000 would be used for site preparation which would include
electrical, heating, cooling and set-up cost.
Total acquisition and maintenance costs for FY81 less sewer's and water's
share and the amount available in the general fund, leaves an additional
funding need of $119,294. This could be funded in two ways.

Access International, Inc., the hardware vendor, could provide a
lease/purchase arrangement. This is detailed on Exhibit C. The costs
used are only estimated at this time as actual costs cannot be arrived at
until the delivery date and the exact equipment configuration is
finalized. Since the lease/purchase agreement contains a non -funding
clause which allows for the agreement to be terminated in a year without
penalty to the City, one-year or two-year leases would cost the same as a
five-year lease. This financing arrangement would result in an average
annual cost of $72,708.
s
Exhibit D details funding by the use of pledge orders. Since one-third of
the initial use of the computer would be for the utility billing system,
1j the Water Enterprise Fund could purchase the computer by issuance of
pledge orders. These could be sold to local banks or financial
institutions. Their tax exempt status and the fact that they would be
paid off in three years should allow for a favorable interest rate. The
General Fund would make payments to the Water Fund over the three years
I which would be used for the annual payments on the pledge orders. In
effect, these annual payments would constitute purchase by the General
Fund of the computer system from the Water Fund. No water revenues would
be used to pay off the pledge orders. The average annual cost of using the
purchase order financing system is currently estimated to be $64,621.
This financing concept has been discussed with Ken Haynie, the City's bond
counsel, and he concurs with its usage for financing. There have been no
discussions with potential pledge order purchasers and will not be until
Council approves of this concept.
If computer acquisition is approved, the financing details would then be
worked out. At the time of issuance of the pledge orders, formal Council
approval will be needed, in the form of a resolution. If buyers can be
found, the staff will recommend pursuing financing by the use of pledge
orders.

systems during the first six to nine months after installation of the
computer system. Exhibit F lists potential future applications that have

programmers were used to establish such systems, a conservative estimate
of the cost would be approximately $14,000 per application. An Admins/11
system will allow us to use City staff for the majority of the system
development on all of these applications. In addition, an ADMINS user's
group, of municipalities and orgnaizations with software currently in
use, have applications that would be available to the City at minimal or
no cost. It is estimated that outside assistance needed for each
application would amount to only a few hundred dollars apiece.

Department Reorganization
The evaluation of the computer bids and the upcoming vacancy in the
position of Budget Administrator has prompted an analysis of the staffing
needs in the Finance Department. Increasing workload demands, changes in
department and City priorities, and limited resources are forcing us to
explore more efficient ways of getting the job done. This is the case in
all City departments and staff is finding that it is not sufficient to
"work harder," one must "work smarter."
In preparing a computer bid recommendation, it has become evident that
staff reorganization will assist in maximizing our efforts of installing
and initiating an in-house computer system. The acquisition of an in-
house system will save the City thousands of dollars in data processing
costs in the future. The staffing reorganization being recommended will
result in the same number of positions as are currently authorized in the
Finance Department and will not increase personnel costs.
The reorganization recommended is as follows:
1. Eliminate the Budget Administrator position (Range 15).
2. Create an Accountant position (Range 9). This individual would
report to the Controller.
3. Six to nine months after the installation of the in-house computer
system, eliminate the keypunch operator position (Range 2).
4. Create an Information Specialist position (Range 9). This
individual would report to the Controller and would assist the
Controller in the administration of the computer system, assist
other departments in the use of the computer system, and assist in
the development of software applications.
The budgetary impact of this reorganization is as follows:

FY81 Budgeted Salaries:
Budget Administrator
$22,240
Keypunch Operator
10,501
$32,741
New Positions:
Accountant
$16,000
Information Specialist
16 000
32,000
The current duties of the Budget Administrator would be reassigned to the
Finance Director, Controller, and Accountant. The Accountant would also
assume some of the Controller's current duties thus enabling the
Controller to assume the additional duties of managing the in-house
computer system.

This week's Council agenda includes a resolution authorizing the
elimination of the position of Budget Administrator and the creation of
the position of Accountant. It would be preferable to hire an Information
Specialist prior to the installation of the computer system and the
elimination of the Keypunch Operator. position. Such action would provide
additional assistance during the initial implementation and conversion of
current applications and would reduce the total conversion time. Savings
in service bureau costs would most likely offset any salary costs. If it
becomes evident that funding is available for this position in the current
budget, I will come back to the Council with a concrete recommendation on
this position.
The creation of these two positions will also provide for promotional
opportunities in the Finance Department. The current situation is that
the highest non -management positions in the department are at Range 6
(eight positions) and at Range 8 (one position) with management positions
in Range 14 and above. There is little opportunity for advancement from
within as the experience gained in these lower range positions does not
prepare individuals to move into a management position. Internal
promotions are an excellent way of grooming capable employees for
management positions, but a career -path must exist to enable such internal
promotions to occur.
This reorganization recommendation is being considered in relation to the
computer acquisition recommendation as both are intended to increase the
productivity of the Finance Department, and in turn the City.

Lady and Gentlemen:
This letter is being written to set forth the position of
the College Plaza Development Company (CPDC) and High Country
Corporation relative to the criteria to be used by the City of
Iowa City in evaluating the performance of Plaza Towers Associ-
ates in complying with the conditions attached to the resolution
of the City Council designating Plaza Towers Associates as the
preferred developer on Parcel 64-1 adopted by the Council on
July 15, 1980. Although our primary concern at this time is to
insure that Plaza Towers' compliance is held to the same standard
as was applied to CPDC, there are other matters in connection
with the conduct of the City of Iowa City and its consultants
and Plaza Towers Associates which our client felt should be
brought to your attention.
With regard to the resolution designating Plaza Towers as
Preferred developer we would point out the following:
I. Although High Country Corporation and Rocky Mountain
Hospitality Services, Inc. has executed a hotel management agree-
ment having a term of thrity (30) years which was ratified by
CPDC, this was, for some reason still unclear, determined by the
City Staff to be insufficient to satisfy the requiremetns of
Paragraph 1 of Resolution No. 80-181. -If a hotel management agree-
ment is submitted by Plaza Towers which is accepted by the City
Staff, we trust that a thorough explanation will'at last be given
as to why CPDC/High Country did not meet the requirements of
Resolution No. 80-181, and that there will be material distinguish-
ing factors involved having a basis legally and/or factually.

3. The preliminary design plans which, to our knowledge,
have thus far been submitted appear to be quite sketchy and also
appear to contain a substantial amount of retail space in the
department store structure in excess of that originally proposed.
We trust that the City will require that these plans substantially
conform to those in the Plaza Towers proposal as it existed on
July 15, 1980. Further, we assume that this change will be evalu-
ated in light of the Staff conclusion that the small shop retail
space was more properly located in the hotel structure.
4. We assume that all language with regard to the Contract
for Sale of Land for Private Redevelopment will have been negotiated
and drafted. Although we had reached substantial agreement with
the Seaff regarding the substance of these provisions, the language
had not been drafted and this agreement was found to be insufficient.
In addition to the foregoing, we have been disturbed about the
conduct of persons apparently retained by the City with respect
to the CPDC/High Country proposal. Since July 15, 1980, we have
received a letter from Laventhol & Horwath, the preparers of the
hotel feasibility study for CPDC/High Country, indicating that a
representative of the City had advised Plaza Towers to contact
Laventhol & Horwath for a similar study. Laventhol & Horwath were
apparently futher advised that CPDC/High Country was no longer in-
volved in the project. The latter statement was both false and
known to the City to be false, inasmuch as the CPDC/High Country
proposal, by the terms of the prospectus, was irrevocable for a
period of 134 days from April 7, 1980. Further, the CPDC/High
Country proposal was extended prior to its expiration and has never
been rejected. We were subsequently advised by Laventhol & Horwath
that they had been advised that Mr. Zuchelli had made the suggestion
to Plaza Towers. If this is correct, we regard this as an un-
warranted and unjustified attempt by the City to interfere in a
confidential relationship between CPDC/High Country and Laventhol
& Horwath.
The foregoing concerns are underscored by the apparent unwilling-
ness of the Staff to set forth in detail the precise criteria by
which the CPDC/High Country submissions in early July were evaluated.
This reluctance increases the possibility that a differing standard
may be applied in evaluating the Plaza Towers submissions. CPDC
and High Country will be closely monitoring future developments in
an attempt to insure that this does noedtcur. r

Dear Tom:
(.�ECEIVEO AUG 2 8 1980 -
AREA CODE 310
337.9906
Your letter of August 13, 1980, inquiring about Urban
Renewal Parcel 64-1 has been referred to me for response. I
believe that there would be little point in reiterating at
great length all of the discussions that were involved in
the City Council's decision to revoke the preferred develop-
er status of your client. As you know, I did supply the
City Council with a written report on the legal aspects of
that matter and in addition there were several length
discussions between myself and others and the City Council
and among City Council members concerning this decision. I
would refer you to the minutes of those meetings and in
addition, if the minutes are insufficient for your purposes,
you, of course, would have the privilege of reviewing the
tapes made at each meeting.
I would be happy to discuss this matter with you fur-
ther and to cooperate fully with your client insofar as
determining City requirements. However, I would suggest
that we defer any such discussion until we determine whether
or not the Old Capitol group will be able to obtain the
necessary commitments to proceed with this project. If they
are, such a discussion between you and me would be unnec-
essary. If they are not, then I would think there should be
ample time to initiate and conclude those discussions.

Dear Mr. Berlin:
As you know I was out-of-town when the City of Iowa City rescinded
its designation of College Plaza Development Company/High Country
Corporation (CPDC/HCC) as the preferred developer on Parcel 69-1.
During the past couple of weeks I have been reviewing the file to
determine the exact requirements imposed by the City of Iowa City
on our development group. Specifically, I am attempting to ascer-
tain exactly what the City of Iowa City required to be accomplished
in the sixty day time period with respect to the hotel part of the
development and the department store part of the development.
First, with respect to the hotel portion of the project the follow-
ing matters were completed:
1. A Hotel Management
Country Corporation and dRocky gMountainnt wHospitality as entered 1Services, Innto between c.
which Agreement had a term of 30 years.
2. At the request of the City, a "Ratification" of this Agree-
ment by College Plaza Development Company was delivered to the City
of Iowa City.
3. A Joint Venture Agreement between High Country Corporation
and College Plaza Development Company was reached.
It appears to me that these documents clearly show that a Hotel Manage-
ment Agreement was entered into by the developer which Agreement was
legally binding for the life of the bond issue (which bond issue would
be for no more than 30 years) and said Hotel Management Agreement was
submitted to the City of Iowa City for approval. In fact, a copy of
the Hotel Management Agreement was submitted to the City of Iowa City
in June and at no point did the City of Iowa City ever indicate there
was any problem with respect to the Agreement only being entered into

Dear Mr. Berlin:
As you know I was out-of-town when the City of Iowa City rescinded
its designation of College Plaza Development Company/High Country
Corporation (CPDC/HCC) as the preferred developer on Parcel 69-1.
During the past couple of weeks I have been reviewing the file to
determine the exact requirements imposed by the City of Iowa City
on our development group. Specifically, I am attempting to ascer-
tain exactly what the City of Iowa City required to be accomplished
in the sixty day time period with respect to the hotel part of the
development and the department store part of the development.
First, with respect to the hotel portion of the project the follow-
ing matters were completed:
1. A Hotel Management
Country Corporation and dRocky gMountainnt wHospitality as entered 1Services, Innto between c.
which Agreement had a term of 30 years.
2. At the request of the City, a "Ratification" of this Agree-
ment by College Plaza Development Company was delivered to the City
of Iowa City.
3. A Joint Venture Agreement between High Country Corporation
and College Plaza Development Company was reached.
It appears to me that these documents clearly show that a Hotel Manage-
ment Agreement was entered into by the developer which Agreement was
legally binding for the life of the bond issue (which bond issue would
be for no more than 30 years) and said Hotel Management Agreement was
submitted to the City of Iowa City for approval. In fact, a copy of
the Hotel Management Agreement was submitted to the City of Iowa City
in June and at no point did the City of Iowa City ever indicate there
was any problem with respect to the Agreement only being entered into

Mr. Neal Berlin
August 13, 1980
Page 2
between High Country Corporation and Rocky Mountain Hospitality
Services, Inc. Whatever concern the City had regarding this matter
appears to be completely resolved by the Ratification by College
Plaza Development Company.
I believe that our development group fully complied with paragraph
1 of Resolution No. 80-181 with respect to the Hotel Management
Agreement. In a letter to the City Council dated July 14, 1980,
John Hayek indicated that he "cannot certify at this time full com-
pliance with the requirements of paragraph 1 of "Resolution 80-181
"because the Agreement was entered into by only one of the two parties
to the joint venture." Further, John Hayek's letter stated that
"the ratification of the Management Agreement by College Plaza Devel-
opment Company is insufficient, in our opinion, to bond the joint
venture which was designated as the developer." I do not understand
what further the City of Iowa City is seeking with respect to the
Hotel Management Agreement, and I would appreciate the City of Iowa
City setting forth exactly what additional documentation was needed
with respect to this matter and an explanation of why the documents
submitted did not comply with Resolution 80-181 with respect to the
Hotel Management Agreement.
Further, with respect to the hotel portion of the project, it appears
that the City of Iowa City was not willing to approve the phasing of
the project. Mr. Hayek's letter of July 14, 1980 appears to imply
that our request for phasing somehow affects the Hotel Management
Agreement which we submitted. While we believe that phasing of the
project is the only logical way to proceed and do not believe the
City of Iowa City should have any objection with this requirement,
I see no relationship regarding our request to phase the project to
indicating non-compliance with paragraph 1 of Resolution 807181. I
do not believe there is anything in paragraph 1 of Resolution 80-181
which prohibits phasing or would somehow indicate that a request for
phasing would cast doubt on a legally binding Hotel Management Agree-
ment.
I would appreciate your setting forth in writing as soon as possible
exactly how College Plaza Development Company/High Country Corporation
did not comply with paragraph 1 of Resolution 80-181. An explanation
of the basis for the City's position is needed to permit our develop-
ment group to fully understand why the City of Iowa City rejected the
documents we submitted and to permit our development group to evaluate
our alternatives.
With respect to the department store portion of the project, it appears
unclear as to what requirements the City of Iowa City is imposing to
be completed within sixty days. Negotiations between CPDC/NCC and
Armstrong's,Inc. had proceeded extremely well during the sixty days
which we were permitted to work on this project.' Detailed plans had

been prepared and at least six meetings with the principals of
Armstrong's and various consultants of Armstrong's were held
during the sixty days. Further, an agreement regarding the fin-
ancial terms of the lease and other major provisions of the lease
had been fully discussed and resolved. Obviously in a project
of this magnitude there are always final details to be clarified,
and I believe that Robert Armstrong's letter of July 11, 1980 was
merely stating that Armstrong's, Inc. needed thirty days to confirm
the detailed plans and specifications prepared by our development
group.
-
"•
Further, it is my understanding that the City of Iowa City was
critical of our development group in that we did not have a "firm"
financial commitment with respect to the retail portion of the
project. We believe the City of Iowa City was incorrect on this
"
matter, and believe that the comments from John Kreiger at the
-
informal Council session of July 14, 1980 and in his letter of
July 11, 1980 indicate that only a written commitment letter had
to be prepared to confirm the agreement reached between our develop-
ment group and Hawkeye Bancorporation. We believe that CPDC/HCC
demonstrated that there was no doubt that a lease agreement would
be formally executed between College Plaza Development Company/
High Country Corporation and Armstrong's, Inc. within thirty days
with a financing commitment in place. I believe, considering the
sixty day time period, that the accomplishments of CPDC/HCC compare
very favorably with the accomplishments of any other developer in a
similar time period in the Iowa City Urban Renewal project.
It is our understanding that it is the position of the City's legal
staff that the only type of document which would meet the require-
ments of Resolution 80-181, other than a formal lease agreement,
would be one which demonstrated a firm agreement on a sufficient
number of matters so as to be "legally enforceable." We strongly
disagree. It is our position that, until such time as agreement
is reached on all issues material to the occupancy of the premises
by Armstrong's, no legally enforceable agreement exists but rather
only a "letter of intent" such as was provided by Armstrong's and
filed with the City. The unlikely possibility that a definite
agreement would be reached with a department store within the sixty
day period was addressed in Resolution 80-181, and we would submit
that CPDC/HCC was in compliance.
We believe the City of Iowa City should state in writing exactly
what requirements the City is imposing to demonstrate that the
developer has secured a legally binding lease for a department store
or exactly what other evidence is necessary to demonstrate to the
City the certainty that the developer has the ability to obtain such

a lease. Specifically, we would like the City of Iowa City to
address the issues of whether a lease agreement in fact must be
executed and whether financing must be in place within the sixty
day time period. It appears to me that,at a minimum, these were
the conditions imposed on our development group and we want to
be certain that identical conditions are placed on all other
developers.
I have also been in contact with Larry Chiat requesting copies
of all documentation with respect to this project which we have
not received during the past thirty days. I would like to make
an ongoing request that the City of Iowa City automatically
forward to me copies of any documents relating to Parcel 64-1
which are received by the City of Iowa City (whether or
not filed
with the City Clerk's office) in order that we may y
apprised of the status of the project.

Re: City Council Meeting Schedule
Please note that the informal agenda for Monday, September 15, 1980,
provides for discussion by Council of meeting schedules. Our proposal
that you discuss this issue is the result of two considerations.
First, you have discussed in the past the possibility of meeting less
frequently. While there has been continuing interest in pursuing this
question further, I recall that your decision last spring was to defer
this matter until a later time.
Secondly, it appears that things generally went very well during the
summer while you were meeting on a bi-weekly schedule. Given that
experience and assuming that you share this opinion, I believe that this
would be a good time to discuss the matter again.
If you should wish to reduce you schedule of regular meetings, continuing
on your summer schedule might be desirable. One alternative would be to
hold informal sessions on a weekly basis and to conduct formal meetings on
a bi-weekly basis. I'm sure Councilmembers will have additional
suggestions. , 1

The Airport Commission feels that this would be a nice addition to

specifications of the structures, by the Airport Commission, would
be a prerequisite to the start of construction. Please send me your

RIVER CORRIDOR SEWERS PROJECT
WEEKLY PROGRESS SUMMARY NO. 8
This is to report progress on the River Corridor Sewers project for the week
ending September 6, 1980, and to provide information regarding the contractor's
plans for the weeks ahead.
Eby was able to secure a demolition expert to replace the individual who has
been setting the rock charges in Madison Street. Both crews began operations
toward the end of last week. Most of the time last week was spent in cleaning up
muck due to recent rains. The crews should both be installing 42 -inch pipe. On
Friday, September 12, we will be deciding whether the contractor is to dig in
Madison Street between Iowa and Jefferson this year.
Paving operations this week included completion of the east lane of Madison south
of the Iowa Avenue intersection and the south lane of Iowa Avenue except for a
reach under the railroad overpass. The southwest radius of Iowa and Madison was
also poured.
Madison Street, from Burlington to Washington, is now open to traffic. Prentiss
Street is also open. This provides normal access to the Cambus garage and the
University motor pool.
As we advised last week, Madison between Prentiss and Court is ready for
pavement. This is the next reach scheduled for pavement.
The contractor is still cleaning main line piping. It appears that the gas and
telephone companies are finished with their work on Capitol south of Prentiss.
Based on money earned and time elapsed, the overall project is still ahead of
schedule as of the end of August. We need to have two more months of good
production so as to have all surfacing replaced past the water treatment plant
before November 15.

Monthly Report
August, 1980
Historically August is Iowa City's month of quiet and peace,
a time when the community slows its usual pace and becomes
what those attached to the nostalgic "good old days" keep
harping back to as the ideal for our City. Well, those "good
old days" never materialized for the Police Department in
August, 1980.
Requests for police services were the highest recorded thus
far in 1980. A total of 2,715 requests for police services
were received in August as compared to 2,517 in the month
of July. With few exceptions almost every category of crime
and service complaints increased or held steady during the
month. No category of crime or receipt of service requests
declined significantly in August.
The number of arrests effected or citations and tickets
issued rose by 400 over the previous month.
The workload and product of the Animal Control Division
remained about constant even though the reduction of per-
sonnel numbers resulted in earlier closings of the shelter
and reduced hours of operation.
Statistics for the month are appended. -

Re: Housing Code
Dear Mr. Roberts:
At the August 27, 1980, meeting of the Iowa City Housing Code Task Force, the
Housing Code requirement concerning furnaces in sleeping and bath rooms was
raised for discussion. It is my understanding that you have some concerns
regarding this provision, therefore, I have been appointed by the Task Force to
correspond with you concerning their discussion.
The Code section dealing with this requirement is Chapter 17-5(f)(4) which
states that "no fuel burning furnace shall be located within any sleeping room
or bathroom unless provided with adequate ducting for air supply from the
exterior, and the combustion chamber for such heating units shall be sealed from
the room in an airtight manner. Water heaters are prohibited in bathrooms or
sleeping rooms."
It was the consensus of the Task Force that this provision of the Housing Code is
directly related to the health and safety of the occupant. It protects such
occupants from asphyxiation and suffocation which could result from a fuel
burning furnace using all the available oxygen in a sleeping room for
combustion. Traditionally, the housing inspector has interpreted this
provision to mean that any fuel burning furnace, located in a bathroom or
sleeping room, must draw its air for combustion from the exterior or other
approved space which would not endanger the health of the occupant. It has also
been the City's policy that the combustion must take place within a sealed
chamber. The Task Force felt that this has been a wise interpretation and will
be making recommendations to the City Council via the Housing Commission that
this provision and this interpretation remain in the Iowa City Code.
If you would wish to discuss this provision of the Code or its enforcement
procedures, I invite you, for the Task Force, to attend a Wednesday evening
meeting or, if you wish, contact me in the Housing Division for further
discussion of this requirement. If you would be interested in participating in
a field inspection, I would be glad to make the arrangements.
Sincerely,
Terry S einbach

Minutes of July 10, 1980 were read.
The date was amended to read '!July 10" instead of "July 19".
Page 6, final paragraph add At the end of the meeting, Kammermeyer
distributed a set of drawings to serve as a basis for future discussions
concerning traffic patterns in the Melrose Avenue -Grand Avenue Corridor."
An Engineering map of the proposed Byington extension south to Myrtle
should be included.
Minutes were approved as amended.
FUTURE MEETINGS
Members agreed to suspend meetings until September when Engineering reports
are available.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL:
The Committee recommends that the City Council pursue the possitiillty of
lowering the speed limit on Melrose Court based on the new information
submitted by the Legal Department. In order to accomplish this, the
Committee requests a Traffic Engineering report on the matter.
The Committee recommends that traffic on Melrose Court be monitored by
tripper for one week at three months and 6 months after the re -opening
of Melrose Court in order to establish traffic load and to determine
whether or not the restrictions suggested by the Committee are effective.
The Committee recommends that a pedestrian count between Brookland Park I
Drive and Melrose Avenue on Melrose Court'be done to determine if further
sidewalk improvements are needed. In addition, the intersection at the north
end of Melrose Court and Melrose Avenue should have a pedestrian count
to determine the amount of pedestrian traffic crossing Melrose Avenue at
this point.

WIDENING OF MELROSE AVENUE BETWEEN SOUTH GRAND AND WOOLF
Members appeared to agree that if Melrose Avenue is widened, the widening
would probably have to occur on the north side as the existing pavement
is located at the south edge of the right-of-way. Several members stated
their preference for a median strip because of aesthetic appeal, pedestrian
safety, and compatibility with the section of the street in University
Heights.
The major problem with the widening appears to be the Unversity's hesitancy
-
to take land away from the existing recreational fields. Wolraich and
Kammermeyer pointed out that University plans are to relocate the playing
fields in the future. Members pointed out that the building of the new sports
complex and existing University facilities add greatly to the traffic
v
problems in the area and that the University should be willing to help alleviate
the problem by giving some land.
a
Vetter pointed out that during the next three years Melrose Avenue will be
the only access open to the new arena. Widening of Melrose Avenue at this
time, then would cause access problems for the Unviersity. She stated that
i1
it might be in the City's best interests to postpone widening until after
[1
construction of the new arena is -finished to avoid the heavy construction
wear on a new street. Membershpointed out that the widening of Melrose Avenue
will not get into the budget for some time.
Members discussed the merits of breaks in the median at various intersections.
The point was raised that if the Greenwood Bias works, Melrose Court will
r
be carrying just local traffic and a break in the median at Melrose Court would
aI!IW traffict to; turn left in order to proceed to Fairchild's and other points
west. However, if the Greenwood Bias does not restrict traffic from Riverside
Drive, it might be possible or necessary to block the median there. Questions
arose about providing a break at Melrose Circle. Football traffic is one
aspect that needs to be considered. Vetter pointed out that P and Z tries
to avoid breaks which might allow U turns. Members agreed to ask Engineering
to look into the area.
Kammermeyer summadized that the Committee was generally favorable to the
concept of widening Melrose Avenue from South Grand to Woolf Avenue. That
what was required from Engineering was:
1) location of the present pavement within the right-of-way
2)design work showing the topography and proposed construction with and without
a median
PEDESTRIAN CROSSING
\
Hart pointed out that if Melrose Avenue is widened to four lanes, pedestrian
I
crossing must be considered. Members pointed out that a median would facilitate
pedestrian crossings. Overhead walks and stop lights were mentioned as other
possibilities.
BYINGTON EXTENSION
Kammermeyer pointed out that the rounded comer at Melrose Avenue and Byington

which appears on his cA rawings does not take the Byington extension into
consideration. He added that if Byington were to be extended, the geo-
metrics of the intersection would be altered slightly. Members pointed out
that if Byington is extended, Melrose Avenue would need to be widened to four
lanes all the way to Byington. However, widening Melrose Avenue further east
than South Grand, if Byington is not extended, would strain the traffic
circle concept and not be advisable.
Members pointed out that the extension of Byington would create certain
s;
problem intersections. The possibility of installing signalization or stop
ii
sign to cut down on traffic conflict and also help pedestrian crossing
ti
was raised. Wolraich expressed concern that stops might detract from the
4!
desirability' of the route and encourage people to use Melrose Court as a
(�
by-pass.
Wolraich asked about the possibility of making Byington into a four lanerstreet,
eliminating the circle concept and redirecting the major traffic flow up Grand
onto Byington then west on Melrose Avenue. Vetter responded that the idea
had been raised in Planning and Zoning and that the University was opposed to it.
Perret stated that he felt that the following concepts were worth pursuing:
1) the maps as drawn by Kamnermeyer
q:
2) widening of Melrose Avneue to four lanes and Byington to four lanes with
an S shpaed traffic pattern consisting of Grand, Byington, and Melrose Avenue
3) the Byington extension south to Myrtle
TRAFFIC CIRCLE
Kammermeyer stated that the intersection at Byington and Grand might cause
u
some problems. Some resistance from the University might be forthcoming
because of their desire for access to the parking lots behind Hillcrest
Dormitory, Traffic heading east from the Hillcrest lot will have to make
the entire traffic circle.
Members discussed the possibility of cars short cutting the circle if there
is a break in the median at Grand Avenue Court. However, if the median is
closed there the people from Grand Avenue Court would have to make the entire
circle to go west. Allowing some local traffic from Grand Avenue Court
to "leak" through the bus lane was discussed. The median could be designed
in such a way to allow traffic from Grand Avenue Court access west bound and
still disallow dorm traffic from making U-turns to go eastbound.
t
Perret raised the issue of access to the parking lot behind Slater.
Boothroy stated that the intersection at the top of the hill at Grand Avenue
would have to be widened and the curvenede mother. Members added that to
prevent cheating on the traffic circle, a median strip onto South Grand might
be needed. The need to take out the parking places in front of the Fieldhouse
1
was raised.
It was also pointed out that the left turn atS.Grand and Melrose Avenue will have
the most use and might be the first place where signalization is needed. Roberts

suggested that Engineering might want to build in the conduit and duct work,
etc., at the time of construction.
Perret raised concerns about widening the intersection at Byington and
Grand to 150 foot radius. He expressed the opinion that two cars turning
comfortably at 25 mph was beyond the needs of the intersection. He added
that the amount of cut back to achieve such a wide intersection was con-
siderable and questioned if this was one of the reasons for the delay in
construction of the intersection.
SPEED LIMITS
Wolraich stated that Boothroy had new information from Legal regarding lowering
speed limits. Boothroy stated that the Legal Staff had found a section of
the Code which gives the Council the prerogative to lower speed limits. This
requires a Traffic Engineering report.
Wolraich moved that the Committee recommend that the City Council pursue
the possibility of lowering the speed limit on Melrose Court based on the
new this,nthe Ctolmitteemrequestitted s ah Traffic Engin ering reportal Deartment. In on accomplisher to
on themattr.
Vetter seconded.
The motion carried unanimously.
MONITORING TRAFFIC
Wolraich expressed concern that once Melrose Court is reopened, traffic
counts should be kept so that the Committee will know if their recommendations
have been effective.
Wolraich moved that the Committee recommend that traffic on Melrose Court
be monitored by tripper for one week at three months and six months after
the reopening of Melrose Court in order to establish traffic load and to
determine whether or not the restrictions suggested by the Committee are
effective.
Perret seconded.
The motion carried unanimously.
Hart moved that the Committee recommend that a pedestrian count between
Brookland Park Drive and Melrose Avenue on Melrose Court be done to deter-
mine if further sidewalk improvements are needed, in addition to pedestrian
count at the intersection at the north end of Melrose Court and Melrose
Avenue.
Perret seconded.

sponsored by Johnson County Optimist Clubs with administration services �
and staff provided by Johnson County Social Services. The "Big Sister" .
program was, at that time, an urban 4-H program of Johnson County Extension
l J � ly76 Johnson County Extension Service undertook
��rv���^ In January o'
the combination and expansion of these two independent programs to
establish the Pals Program. The Pals Program, as such, was able to
pruv ide a professional staff person, an increase in the number of active
matches, scheduled activities (workshops, meetings, & special events)
for both volunteers and youth, more efficient recruitment methods, and
an improved matching process. Pals continued to develop and improve its �
services and, in October -of 1978, affiliated with Big Brothers/Big Sisters �

This quarter was difficult for the Pals Program as the coordinator was on a mater-
nity leave of absence, leaving the program staffed by only one part-time caseworker.
Janet Martin, 4H &'Youth Coordinator for the Johnson County Extension Service,
undertook administrative responsibilities while Diana Miller Jones managed the full
caseload by herself.' Although Diana did an outstanding job, the staff shortage is
reflected in the quarterly statistics. Under normal conditions, our total number
of matches 'at this time would probably be approximately 80, rather than our current
71. Our number of new matches dropped significantly while our number of termina-
tions is unusually high.
In analyzing the terminations, the need for strong staff support becomes very
apparent. Four out of ten of the terminations this quarter were unsuccessful
matches. This figure is considerably different than our average success rate
of 75-80%! Our average length of match has not been affected by these premature
j
terminations because the other matches which closed this quarter were very long-
term relationships.
SERVICES THIS QUARTER

VOLUNTEERS
We received a total of 27 volunteer inquiries this quarter. A little more than half
of these inquiries were from men. Sixteen of the people who called (about 60%) attend-
ed an orientation - 6 men, 10 women. For comparison, last year we averaged about 48
volunteer inquiries per quarter. "We did no advertising of any kind during the coordi-
nator's absence which explains some of the decrease. However, summer is typically a
slow season for new volunteers, so it is difficult to assess how much of the drop is
due to lack of publicity. .
n Two volunteers who applied were not accepted after completing the screening process.
i
WAITING LIST
A total of 42 children are currently on our waiting list: 34 boys and 8 girls. An-
other 7 children will be served by G.A.P. only, according to staff decision. Four-
teen percent of the children waiting to be matched with Pals are from outside the
Iowa City/Coralville area, including'Hills, Oxford, Lone Tree, and North Liberty.
SUMMARY
This past quarter has brought our statistics down some and slowed our progress, due
to a temporary staff shortage. This period has reinforced our insistence upon the i
adequate staff support for Pals matches, as the lack of it affected our quality of
service in just three months.
Next quarter we will be back to full staff, including the addition of a new caseworker.
We will devote the next few months to adjusting to new staff organization, "house .
cleaning" after this past quarter, and to continuing our efforts to improve the service
we provide.
Respectfully submitted,
Janet Peterson
Pals Coordinator

Dear Dr. Stanek:
Due to poor communications and what appears, from our perspective, to
be insufficient attention from both the Iowa Energy Policy Council's
(EPC) staff and Iowa State University's Engineering Research
Institute (ERI), the City of Iowa City has not been able to
participate in the first two cycles of the Schools, Hospitals, Local
Government and Public Care Buildings Grants Program. These problems
have been a disappointment to the City because we are interested in
participating in the program. As I reconstruct it, this is what
happened:
1. Building survey request: On December 19 or 20, 1978, the City
received a letter from you dated November 29, and a letter from
James Woods dated December 13, requesting that a building
survey form be completed for each city building and returned to
Mr. Woods by January 30, 1979. I then called ERI to see if
reports were needed for the small buildings such as sewer lifts,
etc. and was told to submit them on all buildings. On February
7, 1979, survey forms on all 102 City buildings were sent to
James Woods.
2. May/June, 1979 "Iowa Energy Bulletin": No more was heard from
the EPC or ERI until the Bulletin carried an article in which
Harriette Roller announced that schools, hospitals, local
governments, ,and health care institutions would soon be asked
to complete Preliminary Energy Audits (PEA) on their buildings,
i
3. Energy use: On June 26, 1979, I received a telephone call from
the Building Energy Utilization Laboratory (BEUL) at ERI
requesting me to submit the energy use data for 1978 on all of
the City buildings by some deadline in July. It was totally
impossible to compile all of the necessary information in that
short time. I was then told to submit it by October 15,
instead. Nothing was mentioned about it being necessary to use
certain forms for the data. I then began to compile this
information in anticipation of the October 15 deadline.

4. July, 1979 "Iowa Energy Bulletin": The Bulletin reported that:
Because of the large number of incomplete and
incorrect PEA forms received, the EPC has decided to
award only half of the Phase I monies at this time.
The remainder of the funds will be awarded on the
basis of another ranking scheduled for April 1980.
Incomplete forms were returned to applicants. They
must be completed and resubmitted to the EPC by April
1, 1980 to be eligible for funding. Forms that were
late, but complete, were kept by the EPC and will be
considered automatically in April.
Based on this I assumed that the materials did not need to be
submitted until the next spring.
5. SEUL form letter: There was no more information until a letter
dated October 3, was received from Ezzat Abdel-Ghaffar of the
BEUL. He stated that forms for recording the necessary data had
been sent out but none returned. We never received any forms
prior to the ones attached to his October 3 letter. I then
telephoned him to inform him that the City was interested in
participating in the program, to ask him questions about the
forms, and to ask about the deadline (whether it was October 15
or April U. He replied that the deadline was October 15.
6. PEA's submitted: The PEA's on most of the City buildings were
submitted on October 17. I eliminated those which had no or
very minimal energy use.
7. BEUL telephone call: On October 22, Ezzat Abdel-Ghaffar called
because he needed a correction of the information on our
Pollution Control Plant. He stated at that time that he did not
think Iowa City's buildings could be included in the ranking
being done because of the late date. I said that would be fine
as long as they would be ranked in the next ranking. In light
of the July "Iowa Energy Bulletin" article quoted above in item
N5, I believed that the ranking of Iowa City's buildings next
time would be automatically done. For answers to additional
questions he referred me to Bud Karachiwala at EPC. I sent the
corrections to Mr: Abdel-Ghaffar on the same day, October 22.
B. Energy Audit (EA) training session: When I called the EPC on
October 22, I was not able to talk to Mr. Karachiwala but talked
to Cindy Cannon instead. In addition to getting answers to my
questions, I found out from her that training sessions were
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICR+LAB
CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES
�I
Edward J. Stanek

Page 3
being offered and certification was necessary before doing
energy audits, and that the last one was going to be on the
following Wednesday- Friday, October 24-26! This was the first
that I had heard of these seminars and I could not get away from
work on such short notice. She informed me that the next cycle
would take place during the spring of 1980. I spoke to her
again in November and found that the City's buildings had not
been included in the first ranking.
9. EA training session, 1980: I called several times during the
spring to find out the dates of the training session. I did
receive a notice of the seminars and attended the Cedar Rapids
session on June 4, 5, & 6, where I was certified as an energy
auditor.
10. Building ranking: At that seminar I asked Hans Stroeh if I
needed to resubmit the City's PEA's, since I had submitted them
last fall, and was told that it was not necessary. He felt that
the rankings should be done in about two weeks.
After approximately three weeks had passed with no word of the
rankings, I called the EPC and was told by Mr. Stroeh that it
' would be about another week before the ranking was completed.
When I asked him if Iowa City had been included (just to double
check), he referred me to Ms. Cannon.. Since she was not there
he would have her call back. She did not return the call.
The next week, I called the EPC on July 10 (having been ill the
first three working days). This time I talked to Carol Spurlock
who reported that the rankings were being mailed out that week.
I asked if the deadline for EA's had been moved back. The
answer was no. I then learned that it was not necessary to have
a building ranked as eligible for EA grant funds in order to be
able to apply for Technical Assistance (TA) funds on it. My
next question was whether the City had been included in the
i ranking. Ms. Spurlock did not know but would check. The next
day, July 11, she called back and said that the City had not
been included; the information must have been lost.
Now, I know all the blame for this cannot be placed on the EPC staff.
I realize that there has been turnover in the EPC staff and that
there were problems with the way SEUL handled the program. Also, I
should have verified that ranking for EA assistance was necessary
prior to applying for TA assistance. But all this does point to a
1 number of problems in the way the program was handled.

A• Most municipal officials do not have time to become experts on
these programs. In my own case, I was attempting to administer
five other projects in addition to staying on top of the federal
Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions and the diesel fuel
shortage which was especially affecting the Iowa City Transit
System last summer. And I am sure this is true for other city
officials also.
B. Cities need a fair amount of lead time to be able to respond
effectively and to be able to budget for these activities.
C. Adequate publicity must take place. The only way I could get
information on the program was through telephone calls to or
from the EPC. 1) Back in the spring of 1979, no public notice
was given that PEA forms were available at a particular place or
that they were due by a certain date and no forms were mailed to
Iowa City until October 3, even though Iowa City was on ERI'S
seminarZinNo public October, 1979Ce 3)sNo�publiven picior to the EA notice was givennnor
even private soliciations made for taking PEA's this past
spring prior to the July ranking. 4) Notice for the 1980 EA
training sessions was again given by a mailing with no other
accompanying publicity. Yet the July/August, 1980, "Iowa
Energy Bulletin quoted Mr. Karachiwala as saying, "we hope
this response (very low attendence at the workshops by school
and local government officials) to energy conservation
instruction is not indicative of the interest in energy
i conservation in schools and local governments."
is: how can you expect people to attend meetings tMy response
hat they do
not know about?
In summary, my impression is that the EPC's guiding principle of this
program (whether spoken or unspoken) has been: "What do we need to
do to carry out our part of the duties or part of the program;"
rather than "What do we need to do to make sure that the cities can
successfully carry out their part of the program." This may be a
subtle difference but it is important because it is the cities that
will be saving energy as a result of the program - not the State.
I
For this reason, I find it ironic that the City of Iowa City, one of
the few cities in Iowa with a comprehensive energy conservation
Program, has been left out of this program. To correct these

through a number of media channels: press releases, radio and

I offer these criticisms in the hope that the next grant cycle will
go better than the first two have. The City of Iowa City wants to

Solar Demonstration Proiect
Bids on the two solar projects were taken on August 6. One bid of
$4,850 was received on the greenhouse project. This bid was within
the cost estimate. Negotiations are being carried out to resolve
some problems in the bid proposal and should be completed soon.
Three bids of $3,873, $4,073, and $4,625 were received on the liquid
solar collector. The two lowest bids were within the cost estimate.
Central States Energy Research Corp. has reviewed the bids and
recommended the low bid, because it was the best bid in terms of cost
per million BTUs output. These bids now need to be reviewed with the
homeowner. The contracts will be awarded by September 10, and
construction should be completed by October 31.

SECTION I: INTRODUCTION
The City of Iowa City, Iowa, is seeking a responsible developer to
undertake construction of a commercial/office/residential building for
Parcel 82-1b in downtown Iowa City. Access to this parcel is excellent
for both pedestrian and automobile traffic. The parcel has been
reasonably priced to encourage a high quality development.
In recent years, the City of Iowa City, has undertaken an ambitious urban
renewal program to remove blighted commercial and residential buildings
from its vital retail and employment center. Considerable private and
public redevelopment has now been completed. A, detailed listing of these
developments is contained in Section III of this Prospectus.
New development in Iowa City has many assets which should ensure success
to the competent developer. These are summarized as follows:
Location
The site available for disposition and development is located in the
center of Iowa City. It is adjacent to existing retail and office
buildings, and is within two blocks of the main University of Iowa
campus. The University of Iowa, a Big Ten conference school, has
over 23,000 enrolled students and 7,000 faculty members and
employees. The City has recently completed a three and a half block
pedestrian mall that fronts this parcel on two sides. The pedestrian
traffic within this downtown core area is extremely heavy. The
proximity to the University, 1,300 available parking spaces, and
limited suburban shopping opportunities are important indicators
that downtown Iowa City will remain the premier employment center,
continuing to offer a full array of day and night time activities.

Street improvements and traffic routing have been undertaken,
predicated on reinforcing downtown accessibility. The City is
providing approximately 1,300 parking spaces in two new parking
ramps in the redevelopment area. The mass transit system serving
Iowa City, the University, and Coralville is heavily used and has its
central transfer point two blocks from this site.
Market Support
There is a shortage of first class office space in the downtown area.
Plaza Centre One is the only facility in the redevelopment area with
top quality space and it has been almost fully leased. With the
hotel/retail development project adjacent to Parcel 82-1b and the
new public library within a block, there is a need for such support
_
facilities as small shop retail, professional offices, and
_
restaurant facilities that would complement the existing and
proposed uses in the downtown. Further, there is only a limited
amount of housing in the downtown area. Other market -rate housing
that has been constructed in this area has experienced almost
immediate 100% occupancy.

Land Price and Use Restrictions: As an incentive to attain project
objectives, the City is offering the redevelopment site under highly
favorable purchase and development terms. The parcel is
attractively priced to ensure that quality development will be
feasible. (See Section IV, p. 13 )
Land Disposition and Review Process: To avoid the undue delay which
often characterizes urban renewal programs, the City has developed a
"streamlined" process to encourage development proposals and
expedite approvals. As indicated in this Prospectus, no elaborate
models or detailed plans are required in submitting proposals.
Proposals will be reviewed in an expeditious process to ensure
minimum uncertainty and developer expense. The preferred developer
will be designated quickly, and the City is prepared to work closely
with the developer to ensure there are no misunderstandings or undue
delays in arriving at an acceptable plan for the development of the
site and securing approvals supportive thereof.
To demonstrate the City's determination to aid in implementation
following designation of the preferred developer, the City is
willing to consider all plans required to be submitted to the City
Council to be deemed approved unless formal rejection setting forth
in detail the reasons therefore is made by the City Manager to the
developer within forty (40) calendar days from the date of plan
submission. Any amendments or revised plans resubmitted to the City
as a result of required changes are also subject to expedited design
review.

Supportive Public Improvements: In addition to securing new private
development, the City is directly improving downtown Iowa City's
physical environment to serve the employment, shopping and
recreational needs of its citizens. Utilities under key streets have
been replaced and additional utility improvements are planned. City
Plaza, a A block pedestrian plaza with Governor Lucas Square and
Fountain at its center, is directly adjacent to Parcel 82-1b. Phase
II of the Streetscape Improvement Project, which will completely
L
rebuild and improve Capitol, Washington and Clinton Streets within
the Project Area, is underway and scheduled for completion in spring
n
1981. A new public library is being built one block directly east on
J
College Street. Construction of this major public facility began in
October, 1979, and will be completed in Spring, 1981. A 900 car
—
parking ramp has been completed and construction of a 450 car parking
ramp is nearing completion. Section III of this Prospectus more

4. City Plaza, the pedestrian plaza located on College and Dubuque
Streets, is adjacent to the hotel/retail development site and Parcel
82-1b. It serves to enhance pedestrian circulation and the downtown
shopping environment. The east -west axis ties together the shopping
center at the west and the library and hotel/retail development on
the east. The north -south axis ties the Plaza to the various retail
areas to the north and an elderly hoUsing project and other uses to
the south.
5. The Iowa City Public Library is heavily utilized by the community and
is a major destination point for pedestrian and vehicular traffic. A
new, expanded library, now under construction one block east of
Parcel 82-1b, has been designed with a major pedestrian
entrance/exit on City Plaza.
6. Residential development has been included at the periphery of the
commercial area. A 3.4 acre tract on 2 blocks southwest of Parcel
82-1b has been developed with 96 units of market -rate housing.
Eighty-one units of subsidized housing for the elderly were
completed in July, 1980, and now are almost fully occupied. This
development is located at the corner of Dubuque and Court Streets,
one block south of Parcel 82-1b. A second project containing 80
subsidized units for the elderly is planned on Block 61,
approximately two blocks from the 82-1b site.

8. Placement and design of public improvements, amounting to $15.1
million, have been designed to maintain a viable and active downtown
area. The public improvements are supportive of the private
development and also represent an attraction in themselves. These
public improvements will ensure that the downtown area retains its
pre-eminent role in the region.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The overall CBD redevelopment project has included a complex mix of public
and private developments planned to complement and mutually reinforce
each other in order to create an ongoing, vital, economic and social
center for the community.
As a part of its effort to ensure that redevelopment proceeds smoothly,
the City purchased all redevelopment parcels from the local Urban Renewal
Agency by using Community Development Block Grant funds. Although certain
federal regulations still apply, the marketing of this land by the City to
developers has greatly simplified the disposition process. This change in
normal practices has resulted from the City's desire to expedite project
implementation and remove the obstacles which have hindered many urban
renewal projects in other areas of the country.
PRIVATE DEVELOPMENTS
Previous land marketing efforts have been highly successful. Brief
descriptions of private developments now under construction or under
contract to begin soon are set forth below. Total private reinvestment
committed to redevelopment projects on land sold by the City in the CBD
exceeds $30,000,000.
A.
Plaza Centre One: Plaza Centre One is a five story retail/office
building located on the northwest corner of the intersection of
College and Dubuque Streets, directly to the north of Parcel 82-1b.
This structure houses retail uses on the ground floor and
professional offices on the upper four floors. The development is
completed with the retail space fully leased and the office space
almost fully leased.

�A recently completed elderly housing project.
�
D. Hotel/Retail Development: The City has recently selected a
li
preferred developer for Parcel 64-1, immediately east of Parcel 82
1b. A major mixed-use development is planned, including a hotel with
over 150 rooms, and a retail development which will be anchored by a
third major downtown department store. Construction of this project
is expected to commence in the Spring, 1981.
r(�
E. Residential Development: Three large residential developments are
ki
included within the redevelopment activities. Pentacrest Garden
Apartments is a 96 -unit complex of market -rate apartments located
just south of Burlington Street on Blocks 93 and 101. This project
ja
is complete and fully occupied. Capitol House, 81 units of
he
subsidized housing for the elderly, was recently completed and is
nearing full occupancy. Capitol House is located on Block 103 at the
corner of Court and Dubuque Streets. Additionally, an 80 -unit
Lam"
complex of subsidized housing for the elderly is planned for
construction on Block 61, adjacent to the City's Senior Center.
ti
F. Other Developments: Several other redevelopments on property sold
by the City have been completed or are under contract. The College
=y
Block Building, located adjacent to Parcel 82-1b, is an historic 19th
century structure which has been completely restored. It now houses
L
a restaurant (Bushnell's Turtle) on the first floor, and four
apartments on the second floor. Hawkeye Barber Stylists have
completed construction on a small parcel along Clinton Street on
Block 81. A two story real estate office building has been completed
by Mod Pod, Inc., at the corner of Dubuque and Burlington Streets.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
a
The City has been and remains committed to upgrading public improvements
within the project area to a level supportive of sound, private
redevelopment. The City is undertaking an energetic public improvement
program within the project area to enhance its overall image. Public
investment has been used for a broad range of functional and aesthetic
improvements to utilities, streets, parking, and other major public
^� facilities. The following is a summary of these public investments in the
CBD:
7 A. Streets: Street improvements have been designed to provide safe,
efficient and attractive circulation with minimized conflicts
between pedestrian, bicycle, automobile, transit and service
vehicular traffic. Court Street and Burlington Street have been
widened and repaved. The City has completed four blocks of street
improvements and landscaping on Washington Street.
C17 ity Plaza, consisting of brick sidewalks, new lighting, extensive
plantings, and street furniture, is a totally pedestrian environment
occupying two blocks of College Street and one and one-half blocks of
Dubuque Street. It was completed in Fall, 1979. This project, which
cost $1.8 million, has been designed to emphasize the pedestrian
orientation of downtown development and to enhance the ease with
which pedestrians circulate within the CBD.

The character of City Plaza is warm with an abundance of brick, wood,
trees, flowers and green spaces. Benches have been clustered for
ease of conversation and there is a children's play area with a
jungle gym east of the College/Dubuque intersection, immediately
east of Parcel 82-1b.
Governor Robert Lucas Square is located at the center of City Plaza.
This focal point is occupied by an attractive fountain with strong
sculptural detail, making the area equally attractive during winter
months when the fountain is not operated. The design of the square
incorporates convenient seating along the planters and terraced on
the steps. The fountain design allows the use of the raised pools as
stages. Theatrical lighting effects are possible, making the area
ideal for performances and cultural events. This central area was
paid for by $50,000 of City funds and $81,000 of private donations
raised predominately within the downtown business community. The
Johnson County Arts Council has used the square for a number of
activities (theater, band, mime, and concert performances) that have
been well attended. There is no question that the fountain and its
surroundings have made this portion of the downtown a very "alive"
place, at both day and night.

The Central Business District Streetscape Improvement Project is
being carried out on Capitol, Washington, and Clinton Streets. Five
blocks of these streets are being completely redesigned and rebuilt
to improve both their function and appearance. The project includes
replacement of underground utilities; removal and replacement of
street paving to improve access and service to nearby properties;
removal and replacement of sidewalks; the installation of landscape
plantings, street furniture and other amenities; and the
construction of an attractive central bus transfer area for the three
public transit systems serving the greater Iowa City area. The
construction of this $1.5 million project is being carried out in
three stages. The final stages of the Streetscape Improvement
Project will be completed during Spring, 1981.
B. Subsurface Improvements: Water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer
systems are in sound condition. Throughout the area, as streets are
being upgraded, the subsurface utilities have been evaluated and
replaced as necessary. This procedure of protective reinvestment
will continue.
C. Parking: The City has undertaken an energetic expansion and
improvement of the municipal parking system. Two parking
structures, together having the capacity to hold over 1,300 cars, are
being added to the system. These structures have been attractively
designed to be highly functional, and to provide easy external and
internal circulation for the public.
A 914 car facility, costing over $4 million, is now open on Block 83.
This structure is integrated with Old Capitol Center and will serve
the center as well as the nearby portions of the CBD. A second ramp,
with a capacity of 450 cars and a designed expansion capacity of an
additional 200 cars, is under construction on Block 64, one-half
block south of Pparcel 82-1b. This structure is intended to serve
the parking needs of the hotel/retail development on Block 64, the
new public library, and other nearby CBD activities. These parking
structures have been financed through a revenue bond issue, with the
bonds to be retired through the use of parking system revenues.

D. Public Library: Ths City is constructing a new enlarged public
library at the corner of College and Linn Streets, one block east of
Parcel 82-1b. This library, costing $3.5 million, will serve as a
strong pedestrian activity generator and, along with the
hotel/retail development, will anchor the east end of City Plaza.
Construction began in October, 1979, and completion is planned for
Spring, 1981.
E. Senior Center: The City has purchased the old U.S. Post Office,
located at the corner of Washington and Linn Streets, and is
renovating the structure for use as a multi-purpose senior center.
This center will serve to meet many of the service and social needs
of greater Iowa City's elderly population. This project, costing
$1.2 million, is currently under construction and completion is
planned for Summer, 1981.

The City is soliciting offers to purchase and redevelop Parcel 82-1b.
Specific development requirements and project financing alternatives are
set forth below.
A. Development Requirements
The City has, throughout the redevelopment program, sought to afford
developers the maximum possible flexibility in designing a
development proposal, consistent with the general Urban Renewal Plan
and consistent with the City's determination to protect the existing
and planned elements of the CBD. The requirements for development on
Parcel 82-1b are set forth below. The City will not consider, nor
accept, 2ny proposals which do not meet the requirements set forth
herein.
P1.
Price
The minimum acceptable price for this parcel is $50,000. The
City will not accept nor consider any offer to purchase and
redevelop this parcel for which the price offered is not equal
to or greater than this minimum price. However, this parcel
represents a prime location in the CBD, especially with the
ti
public improvements in place and the surrounding land uses now
known. Therefore, the City believes that the minimum price is
well below the true market value. This minimum price has been
�j
established in order to encourage and to ensure the development
ii
of a well-designed, high quality project. Nevertheless, the
establishment of a $50,000 minimum price should not preclude
developers from offering a higher price for competitive
reasons.
2. Land Use
The required use of Parcel 82-1b is for an office/commercial
building, with residential units permitted above the first
floor. Maximum developable area is approximately 5,325 square
feet per floor.
3. Building Height
ri
The new development must be at least three (3) stories and a
minimum of 37 feet in height, and not greater than 52 feet in
�j height.
4. Design Considerations
Because of this parcel's location in the heart of the CBD, the
quality of the proposed building's design is important. The
7 following guidelines should be incorporated into the Parcel 82 -
lb building design.
.- A. While no specific style is dictated in the building
design, the design should complement both the older

MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICR+LAB
CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES
/7G3
14
existing structures in the area and the Governor Lucas
�1
Square and City Plaza.
B. More specifically:
P1.
Building design should be in harmony with the
adjacent College Block Building.
P2.
Building lighting should be compatible with the area,
and is subject to City review and approval. Lighting
should be of a similar level and intensity to the
adjacent College Block Building. The present levels
14
of lighting on City Plaza are adequate to illuminate
the Plaza area.
3. Building signage should also be compatible with the
area, and is subject to City review and approval.
Signage should be at a scale appropriate to
pedestrian traffic.
4. Building materials should be complementary to the
other structures in the area (e.g., size and color of
brick, limestone).
5. The scale of the building features should reflect the
proportions of the buildings in the area, especially
the College Block Building.
6. Plans for refuse disposal and other on-site services
must be submitted to the City. These services must be
well -screened, and the developer should investigate
�i
placement of these services into a basement area.
The developer should seek to minimize potential on-
site service conflicts with the College Block
Building.
L
7. The City expects the preferred developer to recognize
that the adjacent parcel, the College Block Building,
has several features that should be 'taken into
—
account when developing Parcel 82-1b. Specifically,
the College Block Building has a rubble -fill
foundation and exposed pilasters on the east exterior
wall which could affect 82-1b construction. The City
desires the preferred developer to cooperate and
ti
consult with the owners of the College Block
Building.
�i
5. Parking
The City is constructing a parking ramp located diagonally
-�
across from Parcel 82-1b. This facility is intended to meet the
needs of the hotel and commercial facilities contiguous
thereto, as well as the needs of surrounding areas of the CBD.
rl

CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES

I 15
The City also recognizes that additional demand for parking
spaces may necessitate enlargement of this facility. The
facility is designed to be expanded by two additional levels,
11 which would increase capacity by another 200 cars. However,
^- revenue from parking operations is not sufficient at this time
j to consider expansion of the parking facilities.
( r
71
Regular hourly rates have been established at 254 per hour
during the day and 504 per night between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00
a.m. Long-term (monthly anduarterl ma
las
1
be available. Alterations in the parkingrf fee halls occur
occupancy
and maintenance costs dictate, and shall be
established solely at City discretion.
' —
6. Encroachment into Public Right -of -Way
The City may allow encroachment of up to ten feet into the
—
public right-of-way comprised of the public mall space along
i—
the east side of Parcel 82-1b (see page of this document) for
the purpose of using the space for outdoor and related functions
(sidewalk
cafes, etc.), support retail space, or other
appropriate commercial development space. The City will not
allow encroachment of the ground level public right-of-way
adjacent to the northeast corner of the parcel because this area
has been specifically designed for pedestrian traffic. The
City may allow encroachment into the air space above the second
floor level. However, developers should be advised that any
I
encroachment into the City Plaza shall be subject to City review
and approval. The price, terms, and conditions of such use
-1
shall be subject to negotiation with the City. The City shall
'j
have the final approval concerning the construction and design
aspects of any development encroaching into the public
—
right-of-way.
B. Project Financing
The City expects the redeveloper of Parcel 82-1b to be capable of
securing conventional financing for this project. Therefore, the
City shall require that the preferred developer make a substantial,
good faith effort to obtain conventional financing under such
-
reasonable terms and conditions as are prevailing in the market place
at the time of loan application.
The City will offer the use of industrial revenue bond financing for
this project only if the preferred developer can demonstrate and
document that conventional financing is
unavailable. In order to
satisfactorily document the unavailability of conventional
_
financing, the preferred developer shall be required to submit to the
_
City not less than four (4) statements from reputable lenders
confirming said unavailability and describing the
i
reasons therefor.
Upon receipt of a written request from the preferred developer for
industrial
_
revenue bond financing, along with the submission of the
lenders'
statements described above, the City will consider
providing industrial
revenue bond financing for the proposed
project. The City reserves the right to
approve or disapprove said

request. In the event that said request is approved, the following
^
terms and conditions shall apply:
I'
iI
1. General Conditions:
^
i
The issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds would not constitute a
w
'
financial obligation of the City. Retirement of the bonds would
necessarily come entirely from the revenues of the new
development. Redevelopers are specifically referred to Chapter
Ll
419, Code of Iowa, as amended by House File 81, 1979, regarding
the City's authority to undertake such a bond issue.
?
I�
2. Financing Conditions:
The City shall only consider a proposal for Industrial Revenue
..
Bond financing which contains reasonable equity requirements,
mortgage duration, debt security, and other terms and
conditions which are at least substantially equal to the terms
t
and conditions required in the private mortgage market. It is
�J
the City's desire to assure the high likelihood of bond sale at
-
favorable interest cost and the minimum possibility for
default.
At the time of the written request for Industrial Revenue Bond
—
financing, the preferred developer shall be required to pay to
the City a deposit of $15,000 to cover City expenses in
determining the acceptability of the Industrial Revenue Bond
Proposal. To the extent that said deposit is not necessary to
cover City expenses, it shall be refunded. However, in the
event of default by the preferred developer prior to issuance of
the bonds, said deposit is non-refundable. In addition, the
.,
preferred developer shall be required to pay to the City a
LFinancing
Fee equal to the sum of: $10.00 per $1,000 of bonds
for the first $1,000,000 of bonds; $5.00 per $1,000 of bonds for
the next $4,000,000 of bonds; and $2.00 per $1,000 of bonds in
excess of $5,000,000 in bonds. This financing fee shall be
'J
payable upon issuance of the bonds.
^
Any proposal to undertake such a bond issue will be evaluated on
the City's behalf by the City's land marketing consultants,
Zuchelli, Hunter & Associates, Inc., Annapolis, Maryland; the
—
City's municipal finance consultant, Paul D. Speer and
Associates, Chicago, Illinois; and the City's Bond Counsel,
Ahlers, Cooney, Dorweiler, Haynie and Smith, Attorneys, Des
Moines, Iowa.

MEMORANDUM
Date: September 15, 1980
To: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Larry Chiat, Development Coordinator
Roger Scholten, Assistant City Attorney
Re: Summary of Proposed Contract with Plaza Towers Associates
Neogiations with Plaza Towers Associates in regards to the Contract for
Sale of Land for Private Redevelopment have been successfully completed.
The proposed contract is attached for your review. As set forth in the
Prospectus for Parcel 64-1, the contract is the standard urban renewal
contract used by the City. Following is a brief description of the
language negotiated for the Schedules contained in the contract, and the
modifications and additions made to the contract.
Schedules: Schedule B of Part I provides for a sale price of $250,000.00.
Schedule C establishes that the entire parcel shall be conveyed 30 days
after construction and permanent loans have been secured for the complete
development. Such loans must be secured no later than 11 months from the
date of execution of the contract. This timetable provides a solution to
the problem which was discussed with the Council at its informal meeting
on September 8. Rather than run the risk of having only a portion of the
development financed, the proposed language insures that financing must
be obtained for the entire project before the City is obligated to convey
the parcel. The 11 month period for securing the loans is a reccognition
of the project's relation to the intricacies of the financial market.
Staff members and Mr. Zuchelli have studied this clause very carefully and
have concluded that the schedule adequate protects the City's interest,
while providing the Redeveloper a realistic time period to secure
financing.
Schedule D provides for the construction timetable. Due to the schedule
established for the date of conveyance, the proposed construction
timetable is necessarily linked to Schedule C. Thus construction on both
the department store and hotel building is to begin not later than 60
working days following approval of the construction plans and the securing

MEMORANDUM
Date: September 15, 1980
To: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Larry Chiat, Development Coordinator
Roger Scholten, Assistant City Attorney
Re: Summary of Proposed Contract with Plaza Towers Associates
Neogiations with Plaza Towers Associates in regards to the Contract for
Sale of Land for Private Redevelopment have been successfully completed.
The proposed contract is attached for your review. As set forth in the
Prospectus for Parcel 64-1, the contract is the standard urban renewal
contract used by the City. Following is a brief description of the
language negotiated for the Schedules contained in the contract, and the
modifications and additions made to the contract.
Schedules: Schedule B of Part I provides for a sale price of $250,000.00.
Schedule C establishes that the entire parcel shall be conveyed 30 days
after construction and permanent loans have been secured for the complete
development. Such loans must be secured no later than 11 months from the
date of execution of the contract. This timetable provides a solution to
the problem which was discussed with the Council at its informal meeting
on September 8. Rather than run the risk of having only a portion of the
development financed, the proposed language insures that financing must
be obtained for the entire project before the City is obligated to convey
the parcel. The 11 month period for securing the loans is a reccognition
of the project's relation to the intricacies of the financial market.
Staff members and Mr. Zuchelli have studied this clause very carefully and
have concluded that the schedule adequate protects the City's interest,
while providing the Redeveloper a realistic time period to secure
financing.
Schedule D provides for the construction timetable. Due to the schedule
established for the date of conveyance, the proposed construction
timetable is necessarily linked to Schedule C. Thus construction on both
the department store and hotel building is to begin not later than 60
working days following approval of the construction plans and the securing
of loans. Completion of each building is scheduled 24 months after
commencement of construction. In addition, Schedule D specifically
provides that the City will issue separate certificates of completion for
each building.
Modifications and Additions:
Section 2(g). Condition Precedent to Conveyance. This section was added
11
to clearly establish the Redeveloper's responsibility to obtain financing
for the project before the City is obligated to convey the parcel.
Section 5(a). Time for Submission of Preliminary Design Plans. The
Redeveloper has already complied with the September 1 submission date
established in this section.

Section 5(b). Time for Submission of Construction Plans. Construction
plans are to be submitted no later than the date of conveyance established
in Schedule C.
Sections 9 and 10. These sections were added to govern the issuance of
industrial revenue bonds. The Redeveloper is required to pay a $30,000
deposit to the City upon execution of the contract. To the extent the
desposit is not required to cover the City's bond related expenses, the
deposit will be refunded. In addition, the Redeveloper must pay a
financing fee pursuant to the schedule established in the Prospectus.
Section 101. Demolition and Site Clearance. This section provides that
it is the responsibility of the City to remove the pavement from the
existing parking lot prior to the construction of the project. This term
was included in the Proposals of both Plaza Tower Associates and College
Plaza Development Company.
Section 704(d)(2). Revesting Title in City Subsequent to Conveyance to
Redeveloper. This section was amended to provide that the City's
forfeiture rights shall not apply to any portion of the parcel on which
improvements are proceeding on schedule. This change is necessitated by
concerns for assuring mortgage financing and allowing for the
severability of the project into separate components to comply with the
IRS industrial revenue bond regulations.
The proposed urban renewal contract including the provisions described
above, adequately protects the City's interest, and yet recognizes the
unique mixed-use nature of this Redevelopment Project. We therefore
recommend approval of the resolution on your agenda authorizing the Clerk
to publish notice of intent to enter into this contract with Plaza Tower
Associates.

accept and rely on the obligations of the Redeveloper for the faithful
preformance of all undertakings and covenants in the Agreement.
SECTION 502. PROHIBITION AGAINST TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OR CONTROL OF

extent that they relate to such part).
(2) Any proposed transferee, by instrument in writing satisfactory
to the City and in form recordable among the land records,
shall, for itself and its successors and assigns, and expressly
for the benefit of the City, have expressly assumed all of the
obligations of the Redeveloper under the Agreement and agreed
to be subject to all the conditions and restrictions to which
the Redeveloper is subject (or, in the event the transfer is of
or related to part of the Property, such obligations,
conditions, and restrictions to the extent that they relate to
such part): Provided, that any instrument or agreement which
purports to transfer any interest whatsoever caused by this
agreement without the express written approval of the City, is

Re: Urban Renewal Parcel 64-1

We have reviewed the documents filed with the City on September 12,
1980, by Plaza Towers Associates to determine whether or not Plaza
Towers Associates has complied with the requirements of
Resolution No. 80-289 designating them as the City's preferred
developer for Urban Renewal Parcel 64-1. For the reasons set out

With the requirements of your resolution. We recommend continuance
of the preferred developer status for Plaza Towers Associates and
also passage of the resolution on your agenda approving contract
language and authorizing filing of notice of intent to enter into the
contract.
On September 12, 1980, Plaza Towers Associates filed with the City
the following documents:
I. A hotel management consultant agreement between F first
Hospitality Corporation of American, a New Jersey corporation,
and Towers Hotel Associates. The term of the management
consulting agreement is 20 years and generally provides for
management consulting services in connection with all aspects

In our opinion, the management consultant agreement complies with
the requirements of paragraph N1 of Resolution 80-289. In this
connection, it should be noted that Towers Hotel Associates is
authorized by the participation agreement to enter into this
management consultant agreement and to bind the joint venture
accordingly.
The memorandum of lease agreement referred to above as well as the
lease agreement itself, which has been reviewed by the undersigned as
well as other City staffinembers, constitutes a legally binding lease
for the department store portion of the development and accordingly,
we are of the opinion that the developer has complied with the
requirements of paragraph N2 of Resolution No. 80-289.
As indicated, the developer has filed preliminary design plans with
the City and has complied with the requirements of paragraph N3 of
Resolution No. 80-289. The developer and the City have entered into
final negotiations regarding contract language to 'be contained in
the contract for sale of land for private redevelopment. These
negotiations have been concluded and final contract language agreed
upon. The resolution for your approval will be on the City Council
agenda for your meeting on September 16, 1980. Accordingly, we are
of the opinion that the provisions of paragraph N4 of the resolution
have been met.
The contract language agreed upon as indicated above does contain the
language required by paragraph H5 of Resolution No. 80-289 and
accordingly, we are of the opinion that that paragraph has been
complied with.
For the reasons give above, we are of the opinion that Plaza Towers
Associates has complied with all requirements set out in
Resolution 80-289 and therefore recommend that the preferred
developer status of Plaza Towers Associates be continued and that the
City continue to work with the developer to bring the development
proposed into being.
As indicated, the developer has filed with the City a memorandum of
lease agreement. They have not filed with the City the actual lease
agreement itself, although that lease agreement is incorporated by
reference into the memorandum of lease. The non -filing of the lease
agreement itself is a relatively standard procedure used by real
estate developers to avoid public disclosure of all of the terms and
conditions of the parties' agreement. However, I have reviewed a
signed copy of the lease agreement. Copies of the lease agreement
were inspected in the offices of Plaza Towers Associates at 200 Plaza
Centre One in Iowa City. We have insisted that copies of this lease
agreement be made available for inspection at the developer's office
by any member of the City Council wishing to examine or read the
lease agreement. Plaza Towers Associates has agreed to this
requirement. Accordingly, any member of the City Council wishing to

h Essentially, the lease provides for 75,000 square feet of space to be

We are in receipt of a copy of a letter addressed to the City Council

believe that the documentation filed and the report given above
P responds to paragraphs 1-4 of that letter. We are unable to report
to you concerning certain allegations made in the letter about the
conduct of Mr. Zuchelli because we are unaware at this time of
exactly what matters are complained of and, further, we are unaware
at this time of exactly what actions were taken by Mr. Zuchelli.
Accordingly, we cannot respond at this time to those accusations. We
will attempt to obtain further information from Mr. Zuchelli. We
will plan on reporting to you on this at some future date.
In conclusion, we believe that Plaza Towers Associates has complied
with the requirements established by you in your resolution and
recommend that we proceed as rapidly as possible with the development

Re: Urban Renewal Parcel 64-1
Mayor and Councilmembers:
We have reviewed the documents filed with the City on September 12,
1980, by Plaza Towers Associates to determine whether or not Plaza
Towers Associates has complied with the requirements of
Resolution No. 80-289 designating them as the City's preferred
developer for Urban Renewal Parcel 64-1. For the reasons set out
below, we have concluded that Plaza Towers Associates has complied
with the requirements of your resolution. We recommend continuance
of the preferred developer status for Plaza Towers Associates and
also passage of the resolution on your agenda approving contract
language and authorizing filing of notice of intent to enter into the
contract.
On September 12, 1980, Plaza Towers Associates filed with the City
the following documents:
1. A hotel management consultant agreement between First
Hospitality Corporation of American, a New Jersey corporation,
and Towers Hotel Associates. The term of the management
consulting agreement is 20 years and generally provides for
management consulting services in connection with all aspects
of the operation of the proposed hotel.
2. A memorandum of lease between Plaza Retail Associates and
Armstrong's, Inc., an Iowa corporation, providing for the
leasing of approximately 75,00 square feet of floor space on
the proposed department store site to Armstrong's. The term of
the lease is for 25 years with two additional five-year option
periods. The memorandum of lease agreement filed with the City
consists of six pages and makes reference to a certain lease
agreement which will be described below but which has not been
filed with the City for the reasons that will also be set out
below.
3. Further, Plaza Towers Associates has filed a copy of the
participation agreement constituting the real estate
development joint venture agreement between Towers Hotel
Associates and Plaza Retail Associates.

In our opinion, the management consultant agreement complies with
the
requirements of paragraph #1 of Resolution 80-289. In this
t
connection, it should be noted that Towers Hotel Associates is
authorized by the participation agreement to enter into this
management consultant agreement and to bind the joint venture
a
accordingly.
The memorandum of lease agreement referred to above as well as the
lease agreement itself, which has been reviewed by the undersigned as
e
! 1!
well as other City staffinembers, constitutes a legally binding lease
for the
department storeportion of the development and accordingly,
we are of the opinion that the developer has complied with the
requirements of #2 Resolution
paragraph of No. 80-289,
As indicated, the developer has filed preliminary design plans with
the City and has complied with the requirements of paragraph #3 of
Resolution No. 80-289. The developer and the City have entered into
final negotiations
regarding contract language to be contained in
the contract for sale of land for
private redevelopment. These
negotiations have been concluded and final contract language agreed
upon. The resolution for your approval will be on the City Council
agenda for
your meeting on September 16, 1980. Accordingly, we are
of the
opinion that the provisions of paragraph #4 of the resolution
have been met.
The contract language agreed upon as indicated above does contain the
language required by
paragraph #5 of Resolution No. 80-289 and
accordingly, we are of the
opinion that that paragraph has been
complied with.
For the reasons give above, we are of the opinion that Plaza Towers
Associates has
complied with all requirements set out in

developer status of Plaza Towers Associates be continued and that the
City continue to work with the developer to bring the development
