Loria, Treasurer Connie M. Keeling, Assistant 'rreasurcr Re: Revenue Bond Financing for Leasehold Improvements in New First Federal Savings & Loan Building Dear Mayor Balmer: I am writing to you in my capacity as Chairman of the Board of Directors of First Federal Savings & Loan Asso- ciation of Iowa City. As you know First Federal Savings & Loan is in the process of completing construction on its new savings and loan building in downtown Iowa City. This building has been constructed on urban renewal land which First Federal Savings & Loan purchased from the City of Iowa City as part of the Iowa R-14 Urban Renewal Project. We are, needless to say, pleased to have been able to play a part in the successful redevelopment of the downtown area. My purpose in writing to you is to inquire about the availability of tax exempt revenue bond financing for certain aspects of the construction of the First Federal Savings & Loan building. The Board of Directors of First Federal understands that the City of Iowa City has already agreed to provide tax exempt revenue bond financing for certain leasehold improvements in connection with the new Old Capitol Mall (Younkers) and has under active con- sideration an application from at least one other tenant (Stephens) for tax exempt revenue bond financing for additional tenant improvements in the new enclosed mall. We would like to be in a position to assist our tenants with similar tax exempt revenue bond financing. Obviously the tax exempt financing provides significant benefits in terms of lower interest rates for the recipients of that financing. We want to be able to see to it that our prospective tenants are able to receive this benefit also.

IOWA FOCT 7 1980 0 ABBIE STOLFUS CITY CLERK By resolution number 78-456, dated October 17, 1978, the City Council approved the Preliminary Design Plans as called for in our contract for redevelopment of Parcels 83-1 and 84-1, subject to future approval of signage and plantings. By this letter and the graphic accompaniment, we are herewith seeking your approval of the signage and plantings for the center. Signage will appear on all three exposed sides of the building. There are four different kinds of signs. A sign "band", used for tenant advertising, will run along a line directly above and parallel to the top of the show windows. The sign cabinet will be aluminum and will be a duranotic bronze color. As shown on the graphics, the letters will be the same on each sign. The front panel is a dark bronze lexan with white letters internally lit. The sign is 42.5 inches high, 29 feet long and 8 inches deep. Each 29 -foot length will be divided in thirds, allowing signs for three tenants per bay. The second type of sign is that to be used by the major tenants and indentification for the shopping center (logo). All of these signs are made up of individual letters. In the case of the logo, J.C. Penney and Osco signs the individual Tel 319361.5275 Dravmr, 1270 Iowa City, Is. 62244 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS a DES MOINES Tel. 312.348.6455 205 W.

The logo will be blue and white in color, Penney's white, Osco orange and Younkers bronze. They will be placed as shown on the illustration. The third type of sign is that to be used by the theatres. It is similar to the sign band but is approximately three feet taller. The materials are the same as used in the sign band except that the front "message" panel is white with dark letters. It is possible that this sign might become part of the sign band. This sign goes on the west wall of the Washington Street entrance. The fourth type of sign is that used on the Capitol Street side to identify the four loading docks. The materials used are the same for all four signs: a bronze lexan panel (same material as front panel on the sign band) with white vinyl hand cut letters applied to the panel. The two signs at the north end of the building (Younkers and Osco) are 2' x 41. The two at the south end (J.C. Penney and general receiving) are 1' x 71. We have attempted to produce a sign "package" which is compatible with the rest of downtown and complementary to the structure. It is in keeping with the letter of the criteria set forth in Section 8.10.35.10 of the Code of Ordinances of Iowa City and, we feel, in keeping with the spirit of the Sign Ordinance. As for the landscaping, the specifications speak for them- selves. We await your comments and approval so that we may Proceed to obtain the necessary permits. very truly yours, John B.
