JANUARY 17, 1980
INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION: January 17, 1980, 7:30 P.M., Conference Room
at the Civic Center. Mayor John Balmer presiding.
COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT: Vevera, Balmer, Roberts, Lynch, Neuhauser (8:30PM)
Absent: Erdahl, Perret.
STAFFMEMBERS PRESENT: Berlin, Stolfus, Vitosh, Helling, Kraft, Meisel,
Showalter, Jones, Keating, Mose, Dietz, Brown, Hidgon, Miller, Malone,
Cook, Steinbach, Eggers, Denison, Hoard, Keubler, Schmeiser.
TAPE-RECORDED: Reel N80-1, Side 1, 1566 -End. Side 2, 1-460.
FREEWAY 518
City Manager Berlin reviewed the status of negotiations with DOT staff 1566-1725
regarding remaining issues. Regarding the Benton/Riverside intersection,
construction will be in 1982 with the City paying 50% and preparing the
plans, etc. Plastino agreed that this would not be a problem. The Highway
218 project will also be in 1982. The County feels that the frontage road
should not be cul-de-sac, but if it isn't, the City doesn't want gravel.
Berlin explained the chip -seal process. They might be willing. The exact
amount of money for the lagoon will be worked out with the County. Other
alternatives are being discussed. Noise on Mormon Trek will be less than
70 decibels, so they will not take measures against noise. They will do
landscaping. On relocated Mormon Trek, the City is asking for 31' paving,
curb & gutter and sufficient right-of-way, so if the road ever had to be
widened, more property would not have to be bought. This is not settled.
Staff will investigate cost for maintenance of lighting at the ramp
terminals put in by DOT, maintenace by the City. If a grade separation
at Mormon Trek instead of relocation, the costs are $800,000 vs $300,000.
A majority agreed to hold out for 31' paving, curb and gutter, and not
spend $125,000 of city looney.
BUDGET 1725 -End
Ber in called attention to the fact that revenue projections show a
5.8 increase and inflation is 13%. With state contraints on evaluation
and rollback on commercial assessments, not having a firm figure on transit
assistance, there will be difficult decisions to make. His FY81 Operating
Budget Memorandum of 1/11/80 and Report Summary were discussed. He advised
that from the Department Heads preliminary budgets, $239,283 had already
been cut, leaving the deficiency of revenue at 1.1 to 1.5 million in the
General Fund. Additional cut of $250,052 is 5% of operating expense. A
further cut of $340,000 is from personnel. If these are instituted, service
levels will be reduced.
Council discussed moving insurance costs from the General Fund to Trust
and Agency, outside the 8.10, additional tax. Other large cities have been
doing this for several years. Then reducing of the year-end balances was
discussed. Consensus was to moveins. costs to Trust & Agency, but to not
reduce ending balances. Constraints and limitations given to Dept. Heads
in preparation of their budgets were outlined, inflation costs were noted.
Adjustments that can be made in FY80 budgets will be prepared.
Councilwoman Neuhauser arrived, 8:30 PM. Prior discussion and agreements
were explained.

Increase in refuse collection fee was discussed, along with raise in transit
fares, and levy of transit tax. (page 3). Formula for state transit assistance
explained. Police Dept. suggestions on page 4 were discussed, and Council
agreed to not charge for unlocking cars (3690 for 1979), but agreed to increase
charge for insurance reports, charge for false alarms, charge for removal of
cars from private property, receive subpoena & court appearance fees, go to
computerized dog licensing, and increase in impound fees & accepance fees at
animal shelter. Ordinance change needed for removal of cars/private property.
Collection of white goods items by refuse dept. was discussed. There were no Side 2
problems in raising the Design Review fees (page 3). Council discussed the 1-1460
formula used for charging for services, and possibility of Library services for
University Heights and cable TV issue. All agreed that Iowa City should not
subsidize areas outside the City. Vevera opposed dealing with University Hts.
Other options for revenue were suggested, in expanded service areas. (paintings,
movies). It will be up to the Library Board to make decisions on revenue sources.
Parks & Rec. (page 6) One question was how does the City justify having a
Parks & Rec. Director and a separate Park Director and Recreation Director.
Berlin will discuss with Showalter & report back. Increases in swimming fees
were discussed. The turnstile at the Rec. Center accepts quarters, so increases
are on 25t increments. Showalter suggested eliminating 'dime' days, but having
one free day instead in the Sumner. It was suggested that the staff and
commission review increases in swimming fees and park shelter fees.
Finance -Council agreed to try once, a grace day when parking tickets could be
paid at 1/2 of fee. There is a possible $100,000 in unpaid tickets. There
was no agreement to engage a private towing company at this time. Disposal of
unneeded City -owned parcels, no objections. Council agreed to trying to develop
indirect cost allocations of administrative costs for all Federal programs.
This will take a couple years to set up, but in the long run it would benefit.
Engineering present policy was explained by Dietz. Once the percentage was
approved by the Fed. govt., it could be used in all Fed. projects.
There were no objections to raising fees for zoning applications, subdivision
fees and Board of Adjustment fees, increase of 30%. No one favored raising
housing and inspection fees, as they were raised last year. A majority did not
favor establishing a CBD Maintenance District. Some would, when the downtown
is completed. Council directed the City Manager to provide revenue figures
if transit fare is increased this fiscal year.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
Moved by Roberts, seconded by Vevera to adjourn to executive session, 9:40 P.M.
for discussion of collective bargaining. See Sec. 20.17.3 of Iowa Code.

Amendment to Tree Ordinance-ECumenica Housing Project. Boothroy advised
That the Planning & --Zoning Commission had approved the amendment, 4/2,
regarding parking lots in CB Zone.
Foster Road- Amendment to Comprehensive Plan - P&Z recommended not to
amend the Comp. Plan. Neuhauser questioned if an extra -ordinary majority
by Council was needed to override the P&Z vote. Boothroy said a majority
was all that was necessary, as it was not a zoning matter. Staff will
investigate vote needed for amendment to a Comprehensive Plan. i
COUNCIL AGENDA, COUNCIL BUSINESS 490-700
1. Balmer explained why he was requesting deferral of the Resolution
regarding travel by employees to non -ERA states, until after the
November election. Other Council members commented, no one objecting.
Councilman Erdahl arrived, 1:40 PM.
2. Stolfus pointed out three public hearings to be added to the Consent
Calendar, 2 regarding taxicabs, and one for Human Services funding.
3. Roberts questioned what the City Manager's answer was going to be
to the residents of Keswick Drive re parking requested. Berlin advised
that the neighbors wishes decide, unless Public Works has an over-
riding consideration.
4. Neuhauser stated that the National League of Cities had asked her to
serve as Chair of the Community Development Committee, but she had
declined, so they were asking her to serve as Vice -Chair. She would
like to accept, but would be attending several meetings. Non-payment of
travel costs by NLC was discussed. There were no objections to
Neuhauser's serving as Vice -Chair.
5. Balmer called attention to Chief Miller's memo regarding school crossing I.
guards. Berlin said that the City is waiting for the group recommendation
on the $25,000 figure.
6. Balmer also called attention to Lee's memo regarding the Senior Center,
requesting that input such as this be given to Council earlier. Balmer
asked if arrangements had been made with the County regarding funding.
Berlin reported that after the meeting Wed. with the Council on Aging,
he would discuss funding with County officials, as the budget has been
broken down by use for the building now, so that uses that the County
has previously funded can be identified.
7. Berlin advised that he would furnish a summary of what has taken place
from discussions of budget previously, with a list of significant
decisions that Staff would like to bring to a head, for Wed. discussion:

last fall Wade indicated he would accept the offer, and the Council passed
the resolution agreeing to it. Wade has been seeking other property, and has
found that inflation has increased the value of possible alternative property•
and now is not anxious to proceed with the agreement. In Dec. Council approved
an increase of $7,000. He is now asking for an additional $10,000, a total of
10% increase over the City offer. Berlin said that Staff will attenpt to
resolve it, or condemn the parcel. State contribution was discussed, and
timetable for condemnation explained. All Councilmembers agreed to stay with
the original offer, $172,000, file condemnation, but still talk with Wade and
try to settle.
SCOTT BOULEVARD Glasgow, Boothroy, Schnittjer, Dietz present. 837-1493
Deve upl e�sgow presented explanation of his proposal for a new, improved
Scott Boulevard. Copies were provided for Council only. About 1/2 of the dev-
elopment is in the City limits, they will annex, but want Council to give
planning and engineering some direction of whether or not they like the
concept. All but one area is in the Comprehensive Plan. The commercial
area, super market, small retail shops, is sik acres. There is also a church,
and a medical center. When Scott Blvd. goes thru, one area will be cut 25'.
Half at city expense, half at Glasgow's expense, and Glasgow will keep his
dirt. Glasgow could cut out the area that is not in the Comp. Plan.
Council has always talked about a 100' right-of-way for Scott Blvd. The
bubble route is for the City's benefit, for the storm water basin, with road
over the dam. This dam will be started this spring. Glasgow asked that
Council refer the concept to P&Z with some kind of statement. He would not
abandon the first Scott Blvd. until the new one was in and paved. Paving
on the proposal was shown at 33', an arbitrary number. Glasgow said that this
way Council could control access. They are asking the City to pave Scott,
they will grade it down and give us the ground. Consensus was that Council
agrees with the concept, but needs more information on Comprehensive Plan
City limits, and land use there; wants staff to report on how wide the right-
of-way should be, and reasonable capacity for traffic projections, and
wants information on costs for various widths. Schmeiser did not think that
the City should pay for all the paving costs. Hieronymus property was
outlined on the map. Glasgow is willing to take off the 3 acres outside
the blue line of the Comp. Plan. Costs incurredshould be discussed with i
staff, including swap of ground, cutting of 3 acres, shared paving costs,
The project is 1100' out from the existing Scott Blvd, and 600' from the
proposed Scott Blvd.
NORTH DODGE STREET COURT SEWER Plastino, Dietz present 1493-2036
Ber in called attention to 12/21/79 memo, which listed options available
regarding this problem. Glasgow & Dickens have agreed to a tap -on fee,by
letter. Responding to Plastino's question as to why the City is providing
the sewer for Glasgow, Glasgow responded that the sewer presently is on
private property, not public, and not available for tap -on. Glasgow has
3/4 acre there, zoned RIA, could get six houses on it. Presently there
are 6 septic tanks in the area. Roberts questioned if city is obligated
to bring sewer to the r -o -w. Glasgow suggested the City pay for sewer up
to the public r -o -w, and he would take it up to the top of the hill and
terminate it at the manhole. Everyone agreed to split the cost 50-50,
to the top of the hill, with Glasgow; staff will explore with legal the
status of the tap -on fee with Dickens. As engineering will not be able
to do the job, Glasgow wanted to be the contractor.

CRIME COMMISSION Miller present. Hokansen (JCRPC) 2036-2700
Miller stated that he had no real objection to the authority of the Johnson
County Regional Planning Commission to withdraw from the Eastern Iowa Area
Crime Commission. His concern is that alternative funding mechanisms be
developed very quickly,(so that areas funded under continuation grants now,
and those proposed, can have fair treatment in the process,)prior to 3/1/80,
so Johnson County is not left out of the funding cycle. As an interim step,
a Johnson County Crime Commission could be considered. There would be
benefits for a local site. Now there is no local input to EIACC. Roberts
suggested combining with Iowa Co. or Washington Co. to meet 'copulation
requirements, and questioned if additional staff would be needed. Even
if there was an ad-hoc group, the entry fee would have to be paid to EIACC.
Miller has asked for $17,800 for next year, he can operate without it, but
it would facilitate record systems and obviate the need for future employees.
Neuhauser suggested that Johnson County he the member, and the City work out
an arrangement with the County regarding payment, after going to the County
with the request. The County would have to go thru all the requests for
grants. Hokansen stated that to change the structure will still leave the
accountability problem. A possible change to judicial districts could
change the whole format. Miller suggested a Johnson County Crime Comm.
made up of elected representatives, for local input in the processes and
programs for Criminal Justice planning. State match for grant was dis-
cussed. Council agreed that JCRPC should interpret what is going on,
regarding EIACC, and Council is willing to take other directions to get
a Crime Commission together to assess these things for the future.
FREEWAY 518 2700 -End
Ctt— y Manager Berlin reported on the latest discussion with Bob Goodwin.
Regarding lighting, as the City has no equipment to service 50' poles, - the
DOT will install 30' poles. On Mormon Trek relocated, they are proposing
24' paving, without curb and gutter, including rough grading at a cost of
$300,000/$350,000. If we want curb and gutter, paving 31' wide, without
storm sewer, estimate another $124,000. As an option they will allow the
City to bid the Mormon Trek work, independent of the IDOT contract, so the
City could use the $350,000 any way we want to. They would give us the Reel 80-3
money now, so it could be invested. Public Works Dept. estimated current Side 1,
costs of construction, which were distributed, noting that they do compare 1-T50
with DOT figures. Access control is approximately 600' from freeway. i
Council consensus was to still request 3l' -wide paving. Plastino favored
curb & gutter. The State will give a lump sum for the lagoon. An alter-
native, to run sewer north of Melrose, across University land, would enable
the County Home to have sewer without other hook -ons. New regulations call
for a minimum of three lagoons. An agreement could be made with the County
and University.re sale of the land. Balmer will call Kassel, and ask for
31'.and settle the rough grading, keeping in mind City costs in next years.
APPLICATIONS FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
Balmer advised that the app tcattons would be discussed at tomorrow's formal
meeting.
INFORMAL SESSION MEETING TIME
Council discussed if Monday afternoon was the best time for the informal meeting.
Monday is the day most likely to be in court. Neuhauser has already switched
classes so she can come on Monday. Berlin called attention to problems getting
the packet out if it is any other day. Erdahl asked for consideration of
3PM-7PM Monday. There are several meetings on Mon, night that staff attends.
Neuhauser reminded everyone to come to tour at 6:45 for Northside lighting.
