Dubuque Road (319) 356-5009 FAX www.icgov.org Re: Potential traffic calming on N. Dubuque Road between N. Dodge Street and Oakes Drive Dear Resident: This past fall the City received a petition from residents on N. Dubuque Road to have said road b e considered for the City's Traffic Calming Program. The City completed an evaluation and determined the street qualifies for the program based on the 85"'-percentile speed of traffic exceeding 5 mph over the posted speed limit of 25 mph. There was a public meeting held with the neighborhood on February 27th to discuss the program and the available alternatives. At this meeting, neighborhood residents in favor of the proposal agreed that speed humps should be considered. Speed humps are not the same as speed bumps. Speed bumps are used to slow traffic in parking lots and must be driven over very slowly. Speed humps are 12 feet in length with a maximum height of 3 inches in the center as shown in the attached drawing. A speed hump is meant to be driven over at or near the speed limit (25 mph on N. Dubuque Road). The next step in the City's Traffic Calming Program evaluation is a survey of the affected neighborhood. The "neighborhood" is defined by the adopted policy as all residential dwelling units on property which is contiguous to North Dubuque Road. This results in a survey of 13 affected properties. The enclosed postage paid survey card has been provided to you so that you can indicate to us whether or not you are in favor of the proposed speed humps on N. Dubuque Road. The City's Traffic Calming Program is not intended to have the City impose unwanted traffic calming devices on a neighborhood. The neighborhood survey must indicate that at least 60% of neighborhood residents responding are in favor of the proposed traffic calming installation. Otherwise, the proposal will not be forwarded to the City Council for consideration. To clarify, each dwelling unit receives one vote, not each resident. If the proposal receives at least 60% approval from your neighborhood, it will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration. You will be notified of the City Council meeting date, and public notice signs will also be posted in the N. Dubuque Road right-of-way to give other users of N. Dubuque Road the opportunity to provide input. The City Council will make the final decision. Comments on the proposal will be solicited from the Ambulance Service, the Iowa City Transit, Fire, Police, and Public Works Departments, and will then be provided to the City Council. If approved by the City Council, we will install the speed humps near the locations shown on the enclosed diagram this summer. Signs will also be installed warning motorists of the speed humps. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Please return your survey postcard no later than May 23, 2008. If you have any questions, I can be contacted at 356-5253 or kent-ralstonCa~iowa-cit~org.

years ago the Extend the Dream Foundation commissioned a documentary to be made about the life of an unlikely celebrity from our community, the late Bill Sackter, a mentally challenged man. All of you are aware of the story. On June 7th, we will present the "world premiere" of this 90 minute documentary at Hancher Auditorium 7:30PM. Having seen the final cut of the film, I believe it to be one of the best, most moving, documentaries ever made. The local filmmaker (Lane Wyrick), score composer (Peter Bloesch), with the help of a former Iowa City and award winning screenwriter, Barry Marrow have produced a true classic. Please come and bring your friends. I have also enclosed a copy of an "open letter to the community" that helps the community appreciate its role and support of making this alt happen. Thanks, Tom Walz. Director Chuck Skaugstad, Chair, Community Relations Committee ~ -- ~ r --{ -<_ -~ -< ~ `~ r-- rv ; --- ~ ~ ~ ti w AS OPEN LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY by Thomas Walz Some you may not have heard of the man called "Bill" (Sackter) who lived in Iowa City from 1974 until his death in 1983. He was something special, as those who got to know him quickly discovered. Supposedly disabled because he was mentally challenged, he, nonetheless, managed to become one of the most well-known and well-loved Iowa Citians during his short period here. The question is why? What was there about him that attracted him to us? The answer will be found in a forthcoming documentary "A Friend Indeed: the Bill Sackter story" which will have its world premiere at Hancher Auditorium, Saturday evening, June 7`h at 7:30P.M.. The filmmaker, Lane Wyrick using hours of historical video footage on Bill has managed to capture the" special" in what others found in him. For those looking for what makes for beauty in the human spirit, they will find it in this 90 minute documentary. The documentary was written and edited by Lane Wyrick of Iowa City in consultation with screenwriter Barry Morrow. Morrow, another veteran of Iowa City, went on to fame as an Emmy award (BILL) and Oscar award (THE RAINMAN) winning screenwriter. The music score for the documentary was composed by Iowa Citian, Peter Bloesch .His music was recorded by an ensemble from the Seattle Symphony orchestra. The New York actress Sally Wingert narrates the film. Rabbi Jeff Portman, I and a dozen other friends of Bill share a few words. Mostly the documentary shows Bill warmly and genuinely building friendships and sharing his love of life. Yet this story is as much about the community as it is about the man. How many places in the world would nurture an old retarded man and permit him to become a community icon. Then there was his landlady who welcomed him as part of her family, the doctor for whom Bilt was more than an ulcerated leg, the Rabbi who treated him as equal to his supposedly more prominent member, the many media people who found Bill's smile captivating and featured him whenever they could, the faculty members who discovered the pleasure of spending time and sharing jokes with Bill, the many little children for he was a "pied Piper" who could play a harmonica, the guardians )who loved Bill as they would their closest relative and myself, who in awe, wanted desperately to see the same beautiful world Bill saw when he walked through life. I must encourage you -see this film and bring the members of your family. This is a story for all ages. I promise you an unforgettable experience. You may reserve tickets through Hancher Box Office, 335- 1160 or 1-800-Hancher.

Emma J. Harvat Hall, City Hall Welcome and Introductions: Amy Correia, Iowa City City Council Member, called the meeting to order at 3:40 P.M. She welcomed everyone and then asked them to introduce themselves. Those in attendance include: Abbie Volland, UISG City Council Liaison Sam Hargadine, Iowa City Police Chief Anne Barber, UISG Senator Belinda Marner, Assistant Vice President for Student Services, Administrative Liaison/Parents Association, University of Iowa Diane Funk, Rape Victim Advocacy Program Chuck Green, University of Iowa Public Safety Janet Lyness, Johnson County Attorney Robert Hartman, Iowa City Police Department Marcia Klingaman, Neighborhood Services Coordinator, City of Iowa City Beth Bewley-Randall, Englert Theater and Downtown Association Carole Peterson, UISG Vice President (former) Sarah Milani, University of Iowa Panhellenic Council President Monique DiCarlo, Director of Women's Resource and Action Center Diana Harris, Chair of Council, University of Iowa Council on the Status of Women Also present was Bonnie Hendrickson from the Iowa City Area Association of Realtors. Review Minutes From March 31, 2008 meeting: Correia asked if anyone had any comments, changes or additions to the minutes. Hargadine moved to accept the minutes as submitted, seconded by Hartman. Motion carried 13-0 (DiCarlo and Harris not present at time of vote). Discussion Topics: RVAP Proposal: Correia stated that since Karla Miller from the RVAP is not present at today's meeting, she would like to table this topic for the final meeting. Discuss Draft Report: Correia stated that everyone should have received this report at the end of last week. She added that she would like to start going through this document and making changes as they review it. She addressed a couple of general changes - a missed date that Hargadine emailed Correia about, and a general discussion about Police Task Force -Violence Against Women Apri121, 2008 Department staffing levels. Correia asked Members if they wanted to make any changes to the report layout. Hearing none, Correia began a thorough review of the report, starting with the "Vision Statement." The wording was changed from, "...and accountability towards perpetrators," to, "...and accountability of perpetrators." Under the "Background" section, Correia asked the Task Force Members if they wanted to include the actual petition that the U of I students and Iowa City residents delivered to City Council as an attachment. Members agreed that they would like to have the actual wording attached. Correia then asked Hargadine for the most up-to-date number of street assaults as of next week. She added that they could have the wording say, "At the present time," and then the date, with the current "groper type" assaults that have occurred. A brief discussion ensued over the types of assaults, with Members agreeing that "street assaults," versus "sexual assault" or "date rape," makes the most sense. Correia stated that they could always add a footnote to explain what they mean. It was also noted that the victims, having all been females, should be noted, as well. The Members continued to discuss the wording of the footnote, and it was decided to distinguish these assaults as "groping of a sexual nature," as suggested by Lyness. One member suggested that in the body of the text, where it states, "...Iowa Panhellenic Council as one response to an alarming number of street assaults that had occurred..." to have the addition of, "...Iowa Panhellenic Council as one response to an alarming number of street assaults against women that had occurred," in keeping with the distinction of the type of assaults that are occurring. Correia then asked the Members if they want to include the summary of the public meeting that was held at the Englert Theater. Green stated that if they have this written up, he believes they should include it as an attachment. Correia added that they should also include the resolution as an attachment. The discussion turned to the "Summary of Content Discussed & Reviewed," with Correia asking if Members had had a chance to review this section. A Member suggested adding, as attachments, the various handouts that Members received during the Task Force meetings. Green noted that under the summary of the January 7, 2008 meeting, it should read "Nite Ride," and not "Night Ride." Correia stated that they could certainly include all of the meeting minutes for the Task Force, as well as handouts, and that she will check with the City Clerk to see if this is possible. It was noted that if the actual handouts are not included in this report, a reference to them could be made instead. Green asked for clarification of the "Regents' Gender Violence Prevention task force," and a brief discussion ensued. It was noted that this is a grant, from the Regents. A change was made to the December 17, 2007 meeting summary, as well, to correct some of the listed program names. DiCarlo arrived at this point and was asked if the Regents' Gender Violence Prevention task force is correct. She stated that it is. Members stated that they would like to clarify this a bit more, and DiCarlo further explained the various funding entities involved in the task forces in question. 2 Task Force -Violence Against Women Apri121, 2008 The discussion then moved to the "Recommendations" section of the report. Correia asked Members for their opinions on this opening paragraph. DiCarlo stated that in thinking about the recent Jackson Katz presentation at the University, she believes they need to specifically talk to men in leadership positions when addressing this issue, that they need to speak out. Lyness added that they should also address the responsibility of the perpetrators in this. Green added that they need to be careful, he believes, so they don't offend the very people they are trying to bring into this effort. He added that not only is it important for men to hear this, but it is important for everyone in leadership positions. Correia suggested putting, "...important for all men and women," and Members agreed with this. Members then reviewed the final sentence in this paragraph, with the suggestion of adding "both men and women" here as well. Lyness suggested adding wording to the effect of, "...hold perpetrators accountable," in this final sentence. The discussion continued, with Members giving their opinions on the wording for this section, with concern of somehow noting that it is "violence by a small portion of men...against women" that they are wanting to address. Also discussed was adding some research data to this paragraph. Correia then steered the conversation to how the Members want to have the rest of the report laid out. She asked if they want to do recommendations to a particular targeted audience, or do a general approach. In looking at how to best address this with the University, Green stated that brevity and getting to the point as soon as possible would be the most important factors, in his view, to getting and keeping the interest of anyone reading this report. Members continued to discuss the best way to get all of their recommendations and information out to the appropriate groups. Green discussed Hawk Alert being in the "Recommendations" section under "Services," explaining that he does not see them using this particular system. He explained that this system is for emergency situations. Members discussed the use of new technology for increasing awareness of local services and decided to add this to the "Recommendations" section. It was noted by several Members that it was quite helpful to have the downtown merchants involved by having the Police Department's drawings of suspects posted in their windows. Members continued to discuss the issue of getting information out to increase knowledge of local services. The question was asked how they could measure success in these efforts, and it was noted that this could be difficult to do. The role of the U of I Student Government in helping to get the information to students was also assessed. DiCarlo stated that she believes they need a stronger recommendation about educating students, faculty, staff, and community members. The discussion continued, with Members suggesting wording for the "Recommendations" section of "Services." This led to a discussion of the need for a consistent victim advocate response protocol within the University of Iowa. Members voiced their concerns on how this information will be received, and ways to reach their intended populations. The idea of having victim advocacy for students to go to in case of an assault was also discussed. Hargadine added that the most important thing is for law enforcement to be contacted in the case of an assault. Green then brought up the next to the last bullet point, "City Council will increase local funding support for victims," asking who they support currently. Correia responded that they support both DVIP and Task Force -Violence Against Women Apri121, 2008 RVAP currently, and that is why she has added, "...increase local funding." Members asked what the increased funding would do -what would it actually be used for. Members then spoke about the DVIP and RVAP programs, asking what they would like to see done in these programs if funding were increased. DiCarlo asked if they shouldn't be more specific with this recommendation. The role of the University in funding these types of programs was also touched on. Having an on-campus advocate (or advocates) was considered essential by Members. DiCarlo stated that from her perspective, it would be wonderful to have someone from DVIP on campus, dedicated to responding to dating violence and domestic violence. Another suggestion was made to the second bullet point under "Services - Recommendations" by Volland. She suggested adding something about funding the utilization of new technology, such as advertising. It was suggested to add, "...fund and utilize," to which Members agreed. The group moved on to "Transportation" next, reviewing the "Strengths," "Gaps," and "Recommendations" as shown on the draft report. A Member stated that she would add that Iowa City Transit hours are limited, and that there is no late night service, and no Sunday service. It was also noted that "Buddy Walk" should be "Greek Walk" and that the "Sober Driver" program needs to be removed from the list. Volland and other UI students noted that the Greek Walk just got started recently. Green stated that perhaps they need to show as a "Gap" the Greek Walk, as it is new and not yet solid. Members addressed this, stating that having the Greek Walk is a strength, as it includes the individual chapter Safe Walk Programs that are in force. Also added to "Strengths" was the "commitment of PanHellenic and Interfraternity, and National PanHellenic Council to initiate "Greek Walk." Green asked if some of these ideas and implementations would start with the fall semester, as many of the students will be leaving next month. It was noted that it would definitely be more fully functional by the fall semester, that the summer would be used as atrial period. Lyness then asked if the "Strength" wouldn't be the commitment of the Greek program to address the issues. Members agreed with her comment. A Member asked about the JARC program and if they could consider that a "Strength" at this point. It was suggested that the "Strength" would be the "funding for JARC -Job Access Reverse Commute," to which Members agreed. General Discussion & Announcements: At this point in the meeting Correia noted that it was 5:00 P.M., and that Bonnie Hendrickson from the Iowa City Area Association of Realtors was present to share an announcement with the group. First, Correia asked the Members how they would like to proceed on the remainder of their report. DiCarlo suggested that they break it into groups working on each part, with the results going back to Correia. Subcommittees and their sections are as follows: 4 Task Force -Violence Against Women Apri121, 2008 Transportation -Chuck Green, Diana Harris, Belinda Marner, Anne Barber; Neighborhood Watch -Sam Hargadine, Monique DiCarlo, Marcia Klingaman, Amy Correia; Education & Prevention -Monique DiCarlo, Diane Funk, Janet Lyness, Carole Peterson, Beth Bewley-Randall; Lighting -Amy Correia, Sarah Milani, Abbie Volland, Marcia Klingaman. Members were asked to get their changes to Correia by Friday, April 25, and she will work on finalizing the draft before Monday's meeting. Education and Marketing Director Bonnie Hendrickson from the Iowa City Area Association of Realtors then addressed the group. She stated that she is bringing in a national speaker on "personal safety" for the Realtors Association Members, as they are a group at great risk for assault. She noted that they are paying for him to be in town all day, but that they are only having athree-hour meeting. In light of this, and the assaults in the area, she wondered if the Task Force would be interested in doing a community event with this speaker, as well. She added that there are several community groups interested in this topic, and she asked how she could benefit the various groups represented in the Task Force. Cedar Rapids is interested in having this speaker in their community, as well. Hendrickson added that they are looking at having this event on Friday, May 30th in Iowa City, with the Realtors' group having their meeting in the morning, and then having the speaker available for the community in the afternoon. She suggested a downtown location, such as the Ped Mall or the Pentacrest, depending on the venue. Members discussed this briefly, and asked to have some type of description of this event sent to Correia so they could get a better idea of what this will entail. DiCarlo noted that there is a meeting on May 7th that the Domestic Violence Intervention Program is having as a response to the Jackson Katz lecture, and it will be held at the Public Library. DiCarlo suggested Hendrickson address this group, as well. Adiourn• The meeting adjourned at 5:10 P.M. The next meeting of the VAW Task Force will be Monday, Apri128, 2008, at 3:30 P.M. at City Hall. 5 IP11 City of Iowa City Task Force on Violence Against Woman Monday, Apri128, 2008, 3:30 P.M. Emma J. Harvat Hall, City Hall Welcome and Introductions: DRAFT (FINAL MEETING) Amy Correia, Iowa City City Council Member, called the meeting to order at 3:40 P.M. She welcomed everyone and then asked them to introduce themselves. Those in attendance include: Abbie Volland, UISG City Council Liaison Sam Hargadine, Iowa City Police Chief Anne Barber, UISG Senator Belinda Marner, Assistant Vice President for Student Services, Administrative Liaison to the Parents Association, University of Iowa Karla Miller, Rape Victim Advocacy Program Chuck Green, University of Iowa Public Safety Janet Lyness, Johnson County Attorney Marcia Klingaman, Neighborhood Services Coordinator, City of Iowa City Carole Peterson, UISG Vice President (former) Sarah Milani, University of Iowa Panhellenic Council President Monique DiCarlo, Director of Women's Resource and Action Center Diana Harris, Chair of Council, University of Iowa Council on the Status of Women Barbara Morck, Iowa City Transit Kristie Doser, Domestic Violence Intervention Program Review Minutes From Apri121, 2008 meeting: Correia asked if anyone had any discussion on the minutes. Diana Harris noted that Anne Barber's last name was misspelled under the Transportation subcommittee, on page 5. She also stated that the paragraph that starts with Bonnie Hendrickson (page 5) should be clearer, adding her title to the beginning of the sentence. Morck moved to accept the minutes as amended, seconded by DiCarlo. Motion carried 12-0 (Green, Miller, and Milani not present at time of vote). Discussion Topics: Discuss Final Draft Report: Correia asked if everyone had received the final draft. A Member noted that the footnote on the first page has been left open. Correia stated that they will address this again, that she had noticed this as well. Lyness brought up a typo to Correia on page 1, under goals, "To support efforts of the community...to promote a community climate that does not Task Force -Violence Against Women Apri128, 2008 tolerate violence women," needs to have the word "against" added before women. Marner asked that "to the" be added to her listing in the attendance so it is clear that she is the "liaison to the parents association," not a member of it. Correia asked if anyone had any comments on the "Services" section of this report. Hearing none, she moved on to "Transportation." Green asked about the Greek system "safe walk" programs, if this is a program that is currently operating. Peterson stated that as far as she knows, the individual Chapters have programs, but the Greek system as a whole has not begun to operate. She added that any runs that occur before next fall would be considered trial runs. It is expected to be in operation by fall. Green asked how someone would get in touch with this service. Peterson stated they would have to go through the individual Chapters, but the Greek system as a whole will have one central number once it is operating. She stated that a person could contact the Panhellenic Council for more information. A brief discussion followed, with Members discussing the fraternity involvement and the Greek system. It was suggested to change this strength to: individual Greek Chapter Safe Walk programs. Under "Recommendations," it was suggested that the second one read: "... as well as increased hours and expansion of routes," or "...increasing hours and expanding routes." Green added that for consistency, the logo for NITE RIDE is all capital letters. Correia then asked if anyone had anything for the "Neighborhood Watch/Police Response" section. It was noted that under "Strengths," the first bullet states, "...investing sexual assault...," and should read, "...investigating sexual assault...". Then further down in the same bullet, it states, "...have being working together," and should read, "...have been working...". It was suggested to say instead, "...are working together." Under "Recommendations," Correia stated that they had a question about the third bullet. She asked if there is some type of one-page that they could use for this attachment. Green stated that he could provide this. Correia stated that she would need this by tomorrow. A discussion ensued, with Chief Hargadine responding to some questions from Members on crime statistics. DiCarlo asked if there are certain standards they should use, and Hargadine stated that back in October, they used the statistics, but also related what was not being done or not done well, and that between the two of these, it explains the reality more. Correia stated that she would ask Karr to pull this information from the October meeting. Hargadine added that when this information was originally presented in October, it was due to the fact that he was looking for amulti-year funding strategy as we are unable to afford all of the manpower that is truly needed, all in one year's time. A question was asked about the Neighborhood Watch Officer/Program, and it was noted that there used to be such a program. It was then suggested that the wording read, "...to re-establish funding for a...". Also noted is the wording in the fifth bullet, under "Recommendations." Where it states, "...crime prevention efforts, such as UI NITE RIDE, & RAD; City of IC..." that perhaps it would make more sense to read, "...such as UI NITE RIDE, UI RAD, and City of IC...". 2 Task Force -Violence Against Women April 28, 2008 Moving on to "Lighting," Correia asked for comments. Klingaman asked about there being a current street lighting policy. Correia stated that she thought they received something recently in their packet on this. She will check with Karr on this. Under "Recommendations," Correia asked what the Members thought. The group also addressed a couple of typos. The group moved on to "Coordination of Public Education" next. A Member stated that she wanted to add astrength -the University recently sent out an email stating that they are going to begin a new campaign called the "Give it, Get it" respect campaign, and she suggested adding this. Members briefly discussed the wording on this suggested strength. DiCarlo added that the big news was that the funding has been approved for this project. A Member suggested changing the wording under "Gaps," by adding commas between DVIP, RVAP, and WRAC on the first bullet point. It was also suggested that the names of these programs be spelled out completely. DiCarlo asked about adding the City and the School District to work with the University's "respect campaign," and Members agreed with this. A Member noted that the "Transportation" subcommittee has recommended moving to this section: "Public education about safe strategies for traveling as a pedestrian" recommendation. This led to a brief discussion by Members, questioning whom this recommendation would be targeted towards. DiCarlo then brought up the role of students in public education of this type, and she wondered if students couldn't be engaged in this type of thing. Green suggested adding RVAP to this list, as well as UISG. Another Member suggested stating, "...these organizations," but not limit it to them. DiCarlo stated that by listing the actual entities, people would know whom to contact. Under "Gaps," and "Coordination of Public Education," a Member asked to add the word "enough" or "sufficient" before, "... financial resources," where it lists the agency names. Another Member added that if they are going to start using Student Government, they really should add "partnered with Student Government." Members briefly discussed this, and ECGPS -Executive Council of Graduate and Professional Students -was decided on. This was further explained, with the Member adding that the umbrella for this is "Partnership of Student Governments at Iowa." Correia stated that she would like to now review the "Recommendations From Minutes" section to make sure they have what they want here. She began going down the list, with Members commenting on the "Tool Kit" recommendation. It was noted that all of the ingredients for this "kit" are on the web. After a brief discussion on this, it was suggested to add "increased public access" to this recommendation. Members continued to discuss the wording on the "Tool Kit" recommendation, adding further clarification to this. Also addressed was the need for increased web site search on the University site, with "stalking," "dating violence," and "sexual assault" being used as examples. "Improved search results," was suggested as the wording here. The discussion continued in regards to the wording of "Recommendations." Members briefly discussed the "Booze News" publication and what it's about. It was noted that it was being delivered to fraternities and sororities and created quite a stir. DiCarlo noted Task Force -Violence Against Women April 28, 2008 that there is an article, a letter, where someone is stalking their alleged classmate. Members continued discussing the remaining list of "Recommendations." The "training program for cab company drivers" was touched on briefly, with Members stating that students had voiced their fears of getting into cabs. DiCarlo asked if they couldn't offer a "customer service" type of training for cab drivers, especially for lone female passengers to feel more comfortable. Hargadine responded to Members' questions about background checks, etc., for those obtaining cab licenses. Green suggested a brochure that could be handed out on this, with the training offered. Correia then returned to the beginning of the report. A Member pointed out on page 2, under Goals and Objectives, some small typos. Also requested was the addition of the acronyms for the various organizations listed in the Members list. Correia then addressed the number of reported assaults, on page 1, and the footnote. Members discussed the wording for this section of the report, especially the footnote at the bottom of page 1. A discussion ensued on the types of assaults, as far as if the victims were alone and what time of day the assaults occurred. Final Meeting Wrap Up Items: Correia asked who from the Task Force would be able to attend tomorrow's City Council meeting. She stated that she would like to have those who presented the original petition to be there, if they can. She noted that the meeting is at 7:00 P.M., and that this will be at the beginning of the agenda. Members asked how this process would work, and Correia explained that after the Council receives the report tomorrow, they would then schedule a time, as a Council, to discuss it at a work session. Correia stated that she would make sure that Members receive the final report, and also notification of when the work session is when this is discussed. DiCarlo asked if Correia could make the recommendation, when this is presented to the Council, that the Mayor also shares this with the President of the University. Correia asked if there was a motion from the Task Force to accept the final report as amended this evening to present to the Council. Moved by DiCarlo to accept the final Task Force report as amended; seconded by Harris. Miller shared her examples on training the community in things like how to be a witness, to train people on how the criminal justice system works. She pointed out pieces of the report that refer to this type of thing, and stated that she is interested in this public training. It was noted that this document could be used as her response to the recommendation made. Miller also shared information on how questions can be answered (difficult to hear). Morck briefly went over the Transit portion, noting that expansion in this area would be difficult as the bulk of funding is from federal funds. Wording on this recommendation was briefly looked at, but it was decided that the recommendations should stand as they are. Motion carried 15-0. Adiourn• The meeting adjourned at 4:50 P.M. 4 IP12 MINUTES HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 2008 LOBBY CONFERENCE ROOM PRELIMINARY MEMBERS PRESENT: Lindsay Bunting Eubanks,- Pam Michaud, Tim Toomey, Alicia Trimble, Thomas Baldridge, James Ponto MEMBERS ABSENT: Viktor Tichy, William Downing, Esther Baker, Ginalie Swaim STAFF PRESENT: Christina Kuecker, Bob Miklo OTHERS PRESENT: Scott McDonough, Melvin Shaw, Orlando R. Dial CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Bunting Eubanks called the meeting to order at 6:07 p.m. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANYTHING NOT ON THE AGENDA: There was none. Election of Chair Bunting Eubanks stated that she had been made aware that William Downing (not present) might be interested in being chair. She asked if anyone else would be interested in the chair position and asked for nominations. There were none, other than the possibility of Downing. MOTION: Ponto made a motion to defer the election of a chair to the next meeting. Baldridge seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6-0. Consent Agenda 521 S. Governor Street Kuecker stated that the board had previously approved an addition and that this was to add a porch roof to the entrance to that addition. Michaud said that it does not look as austere as it once had. She asked about porch posts. Miklo stated that this is a simple structure with no detailing. Scott McDonough, the builder, stated that the property owner had decided not to proceed with the project at this point. He stated that the frame was in place and asked that the owner be able to proceed with the project later. MOTION: Ponto made a motion to approve as proposed. Trimble seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6-0. Certificate of Appropriateness 411 and 415 S. Governor Street Miklo stated that there had been a proposal for this property over a year ago that had already been approved. That proposal was made for two reasons: 1) It is a conservation district that requires approval of any design, and 2) the property is non-conforming in terms of zoning requirements such as parking and setbacks. He said that the Board of Adjustment has the authority to waive zoning requirements if it is needed to save a historic structure and that this would probably be requested for this property. Miklo said that the State Historical Society had expressed concern over the size of the new structure. Drainage and space on the property were also concerns. To lessen this concern, the church had purchased an adjacent property, giving them more space to work with. Kuecker stated that the applicant planned to demolish the existing house on the property it had purchased to make space for landscaping and the church expansion. She said this house is a non- contributing structure in the conservation district. Kuecker stated that staff recommends approval of the Historic Preservation Commission March 13, 2008 Page 2 demolition subject to 1) a certificate of appropriateness being given for the expansion, and 2) the Board of Adjustment approving the special exception. Kuecker stated that the proposal called for the removal of a porch that is not original, construction of a new front stoop that would face south, removal of a covered basement doorway and replacement with a window. She said the addition is separated from the existing church by an 8 foot breezeway. She said the existing structure would be restored and would be used. The new addition is shorter than the existing church. Kuecker stated that fiber cement board siding would be used that would match the existing structure and that limestone accents would be used at the entryway. Kuecker said that staff recommends approval subject to the doorway and window specifications approval by staff and use of fiber cement siding, aluminum clad wood windows, wood or fiber cement soffits, wood stairs in front with lattice, compatible handrails, and restoration of the existing space that would not be divided up into smaller rooms. There was a question about roofing material. Miklo stated that, historically, the building had a metal roof, and that was the roofing material that was planned for use. There was a question regarding the structure that was proposed for demolition. Miklo stated that it was non-contributing because it was built later than the surrounding structures. Michaud inquired as to whether the structure could be moved to another lot. Miklo stated that the difficulty with this is in finding a new lot. Shaw asked whether partitions could be used within the existing structure. Kuecker replied that temporary partitions would be permissible, but not permanent walls. Shaw asked if it would be acceptable for the applicant to put more effort into the new structure first, then work on the old structure. Miklo stated that the City would not put a time frame on the work being done to the old structure, but that the structure would have to meet zoning code requirements during the work process. Bunting Eubanks asked if there were any concerns regarding the list of changes that staff had made. Shaw stated that the design reflects the changes and that the congregation was satisfied. MOTION: Trimble moved to approve the demolition of 415 S. Governor St subject to approval of a certificate of appropriateness and special exception by the Board of Adjustment. Toomey seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6-0. MOTION: Baldridge moved to require staff approval for specification of materials for windows and doors. Toomey seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6-0. Discussion of Melrose Neighborhood Miklo stated that the memo emphasizes what the Commission could do. Bunting Eubanks asked if the neighborhood could be considered as a historic district. Miklo stated that it is eligible, but that the neighborhood has chosen not to pursue the designation. A question was asked about how much of the neighborhood is currently owned by the University. Miklo stated that several of the homes along Melrose are University owned, but that it is homes in the interior of the neighborhood that are of concern to the neighborhood. Bunting Eubanks asked if the neighborhood residents would have to come forward in order for the designation to occur. Miklo stated that if 20% of the landowners object, then it takes asuper-majority of the City Council to approve the district. It was mentioned by a Commissioner that some of the homes in the area were rented, and that the owners of these homes might object to a historic designation. Historic Preservation Commission March 13, 2008 Page 3 Miklo asked if there was a consensus that this memo should be sent as written. He said it would be sent to the neighborhood and that they could send it to Council with their package. MOTION: Baldridge moved to approve the memo. Ponto seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6-0. Miklo showed the Commission's work program for the year. He said that it first needs to be sent to City Council. Miklo said that the first draft of item 2 would be done by staff, that item 5 would be worked on by staff in the near future to meet a deadline, and that staff would initiate contact with the Campus Planning Committee for item 4.

ITC Midwest -fencing agreement -Tharp gave a description of the fencing proposal stating that the ITC would like to replace the existing fence with a new fence to match the fencing that they are putting up on the rest of the lot. Tharp noted that as part of the airport's permission ITC would need to assume the future maintenance of the fence. Rettig asked about the current condition of the fence and if it could be reused elsewhere. Rettig asked to request the fence to be removed in a manner so that the airport could reuse it. Tharp stated he would forward that request. Horan motioned to approve the ITC Midwest request to replace the shared fence, seconded by Staley. Motion carried 5-0 c. FAA/DOT Projects i.

Motion carried 5-0 a. IDOT FY2009 Grant Application -Tharp handed out an email from David Hughes. He stated that with the current prices it was estimated that the airport could construct an 80 foot by 80 foot hangar for approximately $650,000. Tharp noted that he expected the application to ask the state for $250,000 in grant funds, which had been the previous high award, but that a number less than that might be what was offered. Rettig asked about the repayment options with the city. Horan stated the city council likes to maintain a loan payoff in 10-12 years. Tharp stated that as in the past the airport would be most likely be loaned the money from the landfill cash reserves. Rettig asked about when the grant had to be used. Tharp responded that the grant agreements have given 1 year to have the project under contract. Commission concurred with submitting the application for a new hangar. 3.

The owner would like to expand operations and is looking for a site in Iowa City. Hightshoe noted that the owner started the salon in 2002, and gave the history of the business since then. She stated that this owner does qualify as a microenterprise under the CDBG program. In her recommendation, Hightshoe noted that the owner stated she would hire one part-time position. Hightshoe stated that required employment would focus on the owner as she qualifies as low-to-moderate income and if the cash flow is not there, she wouldn't be forced into hiring apart-time position based on the agreement. (If a position is created, the position must be made available to slow-to-moderate income person.) In the new facility, the owner will rent out studios for other stylists to operate their own business. Hightshoe spoke with the commercial lender at Hills. By securing CDBG funds, this will enable the owner to enter. a private loan with a SBA guaranty through Hills. Hightshoe recommends approval of this loan application at the full request of $35,000. The City will place a UCC lien on all business assets as partial collateral. Champion and Hayek both stated that they like the application, and that the expansion is warranted. Hayek stated that it is ambitious, but not over-reaching, and he feels it is a cautious move forward for the owner. Hayek noted, in the interest of full disclosure, that the applicant's landlord is a client of his in his law practice, and that he will check with the Legal department at the City about whether it would be a conflict of interest for him to vote on this at the City Council level. Hayek added that at the Committee level, there should be no such conflict. Champion moved to approve the CDBG application for Textures Salon as recommended by staff; seconded by Hayek. Carried 3-0. ALFIE'S BEAUTY SUPPLY -Hightshoe stated that Alfie's Beauty Supply has been in operation since March 2007 at 400 Kirkwood Avenue. She gave the members a brief history of Alfie's, Economic Development Committee Meeting April 22, 2008 stating that last year the applicant had sales of $17,535. Hightshoe noted that the owner started this business with her income tax refund, and was also awarded funds through the ROSS Program, through the Iowa City Housing Authority, which she further explained to Members. Hightshoe continued, stating that the owner is working with the Housing Authority to remedy some of her past credit history, but upon speaking with the Housing Authority and her current landlord for the business that she pays rent on a timely basis and has been a good tenant. References from the Housing Authority, business landlord and her past employment specialist at Goodwill have all been extremely positive. To limit risk, Hightshoe stated that she would recommend no more than $5,000 for this application. Hightshoe continued, stating that the owner desires to expand her inventory. In order to do this, the supplier requires an initial minimum purchase of $5,000. Hightshoe stated a concern, as there are no other employees, she questioned who would run the business in the owner's absence. The owner responded that her brother and other family members help out a lot and would continue to do so. The owner explained some of the inventory problems she has run into, stating that it can be difficult to meet the minimum requirements. Champion stated that she is somewhat concerned about the sales, and she asked if this increased inventory would help that. The owner responded, stating that she believes it will. She stated that when she first opened she had a suggestion box where a lot of people were asking for this particular product. The owner continued to explain her business, noting that on an average day she will sell three wigs, and that she can make two to three times her investment on these products. She also gave the Committee some figures on her clothing sales. Champion asked for some clarification on this loan, and Hightshoe responded to questions. Hayek briefly reviewed the recommendation of $5,000, stating that he is a little uneasy about the amount, but that he is open to it. He added that this fund is intended for this type of assistance. Bailey added that coverage would be a concern for her too, but that it sounds like the family helps a lot. Hightshoe stated a UCC lien would be filed on all business assets for partial collateral. Champion moved to approve the CDBG application for Alfie's Beauty Supply as recommended by staff; seconded by Hayek. Carried 3-0. CONSIDER PROPOSAL FROM SHERATON HOTEL: Wendy Ford introduced Tom Geshay and Ron Kim with Davidson Hotel Company to those present. Jeff Davidson noted that the City has received a request from the new owners of the Sheraton Hotel for several items, and he asked them to address these requests. The new owners addressed the Committee, giving them some background on the Davidson Hotel Company. They currently have 31 hotels in their portfolio. Geshay noted that they have done similar projects in other college communities, and they look forward to working with Iowa City on their proposals. He added that the Sheraton is in a fantastic location, right in the center of town, and that the property needs some rehabilitation. He noted that many groups that used to come to the Sheraton for functions are now staying at the Marriott in Coralville, and that they hope to change this with their proposed rehabilitation. Geshay stated that there are two avenues they could take -cut costs, slim things down, and cut services; or they can try to increase revenues, which improves the bottom line. He stated that they would like to increase revenues and do a more significant rehab. Geshay continued to explain that the hotel is currently in danger of losing its Sheraton franchise here. They hope to turn this around with their plans. PARKING AGREEMENT AMENDMENT -First addressed was the parking agreement. With the changes over the years, Geshay stated that this needs to be looked at and revised. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE -Geshay noted that they would like to look at the financial assistance that the City offers, such as the TIF. VACATION OF PUBLIC EASEMENT -The final item is the easement that runs along the hotel. Geshay briefly touched on this area, discussing upkeep and maintenance issues. Economic Development Committee Meeting April 22, 2008 Staff then addressed the Committee, stating that it is clear that the property is in need of investment, and that this can be measured by several factors. Davidson noted that the assessed value has declined and that there has been a decline in occupancy and a decline in perception of the hotel. In talking to University officials, Davidson noted that they have completely stopped using the Sheraton, stating that it no longer meets their standards. Davidson noted that that the hotel's proposal be considered and evaluated as a "package." He added that the parking agreement is probably the lesser of the two items. Davidson stated that he went through the current parking agreement with the Parking Superintendent in order to clarify this, and he briefly explained the concept of the agreement. He stated that the parking agreement covers both employees of the hotel and registered guests. Davidson explained the two principal tools that the City has in terms of financial assistance to businesses. He said any TIF agreement can be structured to protect the City. He stated that staff could show some revenue-positive scenarios to the Members for their review. Davidson also noted two options on tax abatement-one being a 10-year declining schedule and the other a 3- year 100% schedule that would each net different amounts. Ford noted the main difference between the two abatement options is the time value of money. She also noted a difference between tax increment financing and partial commercial property tax abatement is that with tax increment financing, the City, County and School District debt is protected; and that this is not the case with the commercial property tax abatement program. Ford continued, stating that they did some preliminary calculations based on the increment, which she noted is the difference between the base value of the property and the valuation of the property after renovations. She stated that it is difficult to project what this will be in the future, after the hotel renovations, but she offered a couple of ways to view this. One would be to look at apost-renovation evaluation that is equal to the highest valuation the hotel has had in the past. This number was $12.1 million, according to Ford. The current valuation is $6.7 million, which means a significant decrease in the value of this property, and thus the property tax revenues for the city, county and school district. Ford stated that with $6.7 million as the base value, if the hotel were to increase in valuation to what it had been previously, the City would see a significant increment. In talking with the City Assessor, Ford noted that if he took the current valuation and added back in the obsolescence that has caused the building to decrease in valuation, there is the potential that with renovation the hotel valuation could go as high as $14.7 million. In regards to tax increment financing, Ford noted that the property owners would pay all property taxes due, and then receive a rebate on the portion of taxes related to the improvements (also known as the increment). She stated that if they structured a 7-year tax increment financing package for the hotel, based on a post renovation valuation of $12.1 million, tax increment financing would amount to about $1.2 million, and with the increased valuation in the end, the taxing authorities would be ahead $2.97 million over a 20-year period. She continued, giving Members further examples of the tax revenue that the City would realize in the long run. Davidson stated that before the Committee began their discussion, he wanted to mention the easement issue again. He stated that he was present 25 years ago when this was put into place, and that it was a controversial issue then. He further explained that the easement is hotel property with a designation over it that allows the public to use it. This is a concern to the hotel owners, as they feel they do not have control over this area. He explained how this change would be a fairly significant one, and that public input sessions would need necessary. Davidson stated that there is a monetary value to this easement, and that they would need to look at this, as well. He also stated that if the Members have any specific requests for information on these issues or has a particular direction they would like to go, he asks that they let him and Ford know so they can prepare whatever might be needed. Champion asked about the per room cost of renovations. Geshay stated that it depends on the specific requirements or needs, and that it can run between $7,000 and $40,000 per room. He gave Members some background of the various hotels they have purchased and renovated, stating that the average is probably around $20,000 per room. Champion stated that she Economic Development Committee Meeting April 22, 2008 applauds their desire to improve the hotel. She stated that she does not believe in employee parking being offered free or discounted, and she believes this should not be a factor in such an agreement. The discussion continued, with the owners stating that they are not asking for free parking, that they want to come up with a good agreement for all involved. He noted that they have a large number of employees that this would encompass. Bailey stated that she is interested in seeing this hotel get back into the conference market, and that perhaps having parking for conference attendees would be more important. Hayek stated that his feeling is he is glad the new owners are here and are talking about their plans to upgrade the hotel. He added that in terms of City assistance to help this project along, the question that he feels they have to answer for the community is why this project needs public assistance to become a reality. Hayek stated that in TIF situations, the question is always asked: would this project happen anyway, without the City's assistance. Geshay responded, giving Members some background on the financial makeup of Davidson Hotel Company. He briefly explained why the investment group would need assistance in a project of this magnitude. He added that it also would give the City something to be proud of, and that University and other business would hopefully return with their business to the downtown Iowa City hotel. He noted the City's significant investment already in this area, and that it would be to the City's advantage to have this property rehabilitated to the fullest. Hayek asked if they have a figure in mind that they would spend, if the City did not assist them. Geshay noted that he does not, but that to make this afirst-class facility, they would need to seek assistance. Hayek continued, stating that the redevelopment is not one of a blighted neighborhood, but rather the hotel is blighted. He noted the controversial nature of TIFs and the perception of them, as well. Ford stated that another benefit of a healthy hotel is the 7% hotel/motel tax that the visitors pay. The returns that come back to the City are affected by both the occupancy levels and room rates, and that if either or both are low, the tax revenues reflect that. Bailey asked for some discussion on current room rates and occupancy levels, versus what it was at a high point in the past. She stated that she would be interested in some of these accountability measures, as well. Bailey added that she strongly believes this hotel should remain a quality facility within the downtown. She asked the new owners to address some of these concerns. Geshay addressed these concerns, stating that the occupancy has been in the 60% range, but that they would like to bring it back up to its highest levels. Geshay also addressed what national averages have been and what some of the trends are currently. He spoke about properties in Florida and Texas, and that they would expect to see the occupancy levels here increase in the same manner, once the renovations have been completed. Bailey asked what the average room rate is currently, and what they expect it to be. Geshay answered saying that it is currently around $109 and that it would command $149 when rooms are re-done. He noted they would have to honor some contracts that are below that rate and that they would have to ease into those new rates to regain lost business. Geshay continued to address the Members' concerns. He noted the importance of University business. Champion asked how long a renovated room lasts before it needs renovation again. Geshay and Kim responded to questions, noting that each component has a different life span, and that trends also play into when a hotel renovates. He stated that for "soft goods," such as carpeting, drapes and bedspreads, it is typical to get five years of use. Hard surfaces, such as bathrooms, can be expected to last ten to fifteen years. Hayek brought the conversation back to the easement issue, asking if there is anything from the past agreement that they should know about when reviewing the current request. Davidson stated that he is not aware of anything unusual, that it was a pretty standard easement agreement. Champion then stated that she believes it would not be a good idea to get rid of the easement, but that she is willing to discuss other ways of dealing with this. Discussion continued, with Geshay noting what they are proposing for this area and how they believe this will enhance the area. Economic Development Committee Meeting April 22, 2008 Bailey noted that they will need to further discuss this, and she asked Davidson what direction he needs from them. He stated that some direction in terms of formalizing anything or preparing any specific proposals on this would be appreciated, or if there is anything that has not been suggested that the Members would like to pursue. Davidson continued, touching briefly on a couple of the issues discussed. Ford added that the concept drawings shown are just that, and Members could make recommendations if they so chose. Bailey noted that she is not against the easement issue, but noted that Champion is not interested in doing this. Hayek noted that he is not sure if this is the right solution, but that he would not be against it. Hayek also stated that he would like to get more information on the Sheraton being in the "conference market" and what the owners hope to achieve in this area. Kim addressed some of the concerns in possibly refiguring the first floor of the hotel, noting that with some changes here they could expand their conference capabilities. Champion stated that she is open to discussion on all of this, but that she is not ready to make a decision today. Davidson stated that Members should mull this information over, and he asked if they have anything that they would like him and Ford to take care of in the meantime. Hayek stated that he is not ready for any agreements to be reviewed yet, but that he would like to see some numbers, such as proposed investment with assistance and without, and some of the numbers for hotel/motel tax and room rates. Bailey added that she also has an expectation of the occupancy rates, and would like this addressed as well. Champion stated that if they were going to consider a TIF, she would want to have it limited to the life of the improvements. Davidson asked if a majority of the Members would like for them to prepare a preliminary TIF agreement, something to protect themselves, and see if this is something the owners would be interested in. Champion stated that she would also like something more than a concept drawing before she makes any final decisions. Bailey stated that she would like to see something for the City Council to review in May. Champion stated that she does not see the need to rush on this matter, but that she would be willing to have an extra meeting if one is needed in order to expedite this. Davidson noted a meeting on May 20th would give them time to make a recommendation for Council approval at their June meeting. The Committee held a brief discussion about their major concerns are with regard to parking and financial assistance. Bailey noted that she is willing to look at all three requests, and to go from there with discussions. Geshay noted that parking is an issue that can have an immediate impact, and he asked that the Members consider this. He then asked for clarification on the timeline they might expect in reaching an agreement. Davidson reviewed the process of a public hearing and Council readings, and stated that it would most likely take two meetings to pass this. Bailey stated that Council would need some very specific proposals to respond to, in order for this to move along. Davidson stated that they would try to have something more specific for the May 20tH meeting, so that when they make a recommendation to Council, it will be more specific. TOWNCREST AREA UPDATE: Ford referred to a memo and map regarding the Towncrest area, which provided as a response to their request at the last meeting. She stated that the map shows the exact area in question. She noted that there is a good distribution of CC-2 and CI-1 zones in the area. Ford noted that outside of the black lines on the map are residential properties. She further explained the Towncrest area, noting that the next step they need to take is to consider the area of study that is desired, and whether or not the entire area would be considered an "urban renewal area." They could widen the scope and include the residential area. Ford noted that they need to know what the Committee wants to see for the redevelopment of this neighborhood - to have it continue as a medical campus, for example, and to know what types of businesses the Members are interested in drawing to this area. Ford stated that public input through neighborhood meetings would be the next step, beginning this summer. Champion stated that she would like to hear what the residents and businesses of Economic Development Committee Meeting April 22, 2008 the area has to say, and Davidson stated that it would make sense to gain this input. These people are definitely impacted by the redevelopment area. Hayek questioned the ability to continue this discussion today, as the meeting has gone on so long. He stated that he believes it has promise, but that he does not know what the best mix would be. Hayek also stated that there is a lot more to this area than medical facilities. Bailey stated that she is comfortable with the area designated on the map, and that in thinking of goals, she is looking at increased tax base. She believes talking with those in the neighborhood is a good step to get the information on what is desired. Members agreed that they would like to see a continued mix of commercial, and also see the residential areas improved, with the goal of an increased tax base. Hayek asked for some clarification on why there is some residential included, but the majority is not. He stated that perhaps they need to view this as a commercial redevelopment. Davidson and Ford noted that some of the multi-family dwellings are in blighted condition and could be considered for redevelopment. Davidson stated that if Members are comfortable with the area identified, they could start a mailing list for a neighborhood meeting, and work towards that process. Members directed staff to move ahead as Davidson has proposed. STAFF TIME: Ford noted that she brought copies of the Small Business Magazine, and she shared an article mentioning Iowa City. Hightshoe noted that FY08 applications (unable to hear). COMMITTEE TIME: None. ADJOURNMENT: Hayek moved to adjourn the meeting; seconded by Champion. The meeting adjourned at 10:07 A. M.
