STAFF PRESENT: Tinklenberg, Lee. RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUCIL The Resources Conservation Commission recommends that the City Council approve the scope of services for the contract with Charles J. R. McClure and Associates. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN Bolnick moved, Stager seconded, to approve the minutes of January 23, 1979, meeting as read. Approved unanimously. Demonstration of Hewlett-Packard Programmable Calculator Mike Kucharzak outlined the following two alternatives available to the City concerning the enforcement of Iowa Energy Code and stated that a cost benefit analysis is needed: 1) The City could continue the status quo - where private engineering firms certify new buildings as being in compliance with the Code. 2) The City could handle the certification process itself. If this alternative is chosen, then should the City purchase an instrument such as the Hewlett-Packard Programmable Calculator and train its staff to perform the calculations? He stated that the problem with the status quo is that some firms are using form letters to certify building plans as being in compliance with the Code. As a result the inspectors have no basis for determining whether the building complies when it is built. In regards to the second alternative, a possible arrangement would be to purchase the instrument at a cost of approximately $10,000 and hire someone such as Jim Schonefelder as a consultant to help set the program up, train the staff and serve as a backup for six months for approximately an additional $10,000. Jim Schonefelder, from the Central States Energy Research Cooperation, demonstrated that the calculator is capable of calculating building heat loss, heat gain, electrical power budget, thermal charge and F charge. Kucharzak discussed the cost to the citizen. A $20 per print review charge will pay the equipment back in 1.7 years. The alternative is 24 per square foot for new buildings and 14 for y� y MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES I101nES z remodeling or additions. This compares to the $50 per review currently charged by private firms. 1 The Commission discussed whether the City should purchase the calculator and train the staff to operate it or maintain the status quo. The Commissioners listed the following problems: -The inspectors still would not be able to tell if the building component as built complied with the Code. -The private sector must keep up with the changes, since that is their business, whereas the City staff may not be able to. i -The staff turnover problem. -Engineers would be able to make more of an intelligent guess concerning what value to assign to the various components of a wall, ceiling, floor, etc. � -There will be a loss in efficiency for staff. Advantages suggested: -Citizens would tend to trust the City more. -There would be a lower cost to the building public. -The alternatives of using a large computer to perform this calcualtion is not feasible since most of its time would be picking up and processing all the City records. The Commission decided to conclude the discussion during the next meeting. Library Schematic Review The Commissioners reviewed the Library schematics. Scope of Services for Consultants' Study of Civic Center Denniger suggested a change of language in Section I.A.7 to include a rate of return statement so that laymen can readily understand the recommendation. Stager moved, Dolnick seconded, to recommend that the City Council approve the scope of services for contract with Charles J. R. McClure and Associates as prepared by Plastino and modified. Approved unanimously. National Energy Act Tinklenberg contacted Professor Ellis and his students to obtain their help in analyzing the energy act. Professor Ellis MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES I10IDES 3 expressed interest but will consult with his colleagues before making a commitment. The energy package was divided between the Commissioners for the analysis and summarization. Hotka will take the Natural Gas Policy Act and the Powerplant and Industrial Fuel Use Act (621 and 620), Denniger will take the National Energy Conservation Policy Act (619), Bolnick will take the Public Utility Regulatory Policy Act (617), and Stager will take the Energy Tax Act (618). Each Commissioner is to make a status report at the next meeting. OTHER BUSINESS Tinklenberg reported on the City Council action on the EPA financial assistance program. The City Council felt that recycling should be dealt with one step at a time and since the newspaper recycling pickup required a substantial commitment, the Council decided to look at recycling other materials at a later time. Also, the Council wished to see what effect the "Bottle Bill" would have. Tinklenberg reported an the staff reponse to the RCC request to have the advisory member departmental heads attend each meeting. The City Manager has reaffirmed the policy of having department heads attend only when something concerns their department. Tinklenberg is to contact them directly for them to attend Commission meetings. Election of new officers is postponed until March, Bolnick was appointed as the Acting Secretary. Agenda for next meeting: -Conclusion of discussion concerning programmable calculator. -National Energy Act Status Report. -Recycling - Publicity help for Free Environment. The meeting adjourned at 7:00 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Roger Tinklenberg. Ira Bolnick, Secretary.

Hillman inquired about the proposed arboretum and Showalter outlined tentative plans and invited any interested Commission members to attend Arboretum Planning Committee meetings. The Parks and Recreation Commission has always supported the arboretum project. There were no objections to Planning Concept 1 as presented. apparent confusion as to what the building and the parking was some interest in selling ithatnly as City property athat Director's report.

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES _ 1 Minutes Page 3 February 14, 1979 Discussion of a request to use the Recreation Center overnight. Lee forwarded a request to the Commission for their recommendation concerning use of the Recreation Center overnight by the Mississippi Valley Girl Scout Council. He reported that the group would not meet the residency requirement for use of the Center because only about 23 people out of approximately 100 to 150 would be residents of Iowa City. He also pointed out that a similar request had been refused in 1975 and that he was concerned about setting a * precendent for overnight use of the Center. Following further discussion, McLaughlin moved and Thayer seconded that the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend denial of the request from the Mississippi Valley Girl Scout Council for overnight use of the Recreation Center.

It was informally agreed to approve the minutes as written. OLDER AMERICAN'S DAY Older American's Day was addresssed first. Meisel introduced journalism students Jan Klutz and Linda Hirsch who are willing to work on publicity relating to this project. Poynter suggested that they contact a reporter on the Cedar Rapids Gazatte to ascertain how she is able to obtain so much space to report on events j relating to the elderly community. He suggested that the Press Citizen be approached about the possibility of devoting an entire page various times in May. This page could include pictures and articles for the elderly, etc. Lewis offered to help on this project. Pollock getting little response when asking for volunteers for a Committee to plan the day, suggested that a Committee be formed at the next meeting of Council of Elders. Roberts suggested it be placed on the March agenda so that members would be prepared to discuss it. Kuhn moved that Council of Elders sponser Older American's Day some time in May in the most appropriate facility available. Seconded by Poynter. Passed by unanimous vote.

PAGE 2 the Council of Elders, unanimously approved. COUNCIL OF ELDER FURNITURE AND SERVICE SURVEY Council of Elders members and other concerned citizens had agreed to informally survey the elderly community as to which services (in addition to the seven basic services: Health, Nutrition, Education, Recreation, Information and Referral, Social Services, Volunteer/Employment) they would be interested in receiving at the Senior Center. They were also asked to choose among facilities and equipment for those most important to them. Pollock collected the surveys and advised the members that the city staff would tabulate them and prepare a press release as to the results. 1979 COUNCIL OF ELDERS ELECTION Pollock asked the Council members present to volunteer for a Nominating Committee. Three members were chosen, Moore, Kuhn, and Carlton with Poynter as the alternate member. The Chairperson for this Committee will be Kuhn. The Council of Elders approved the nominations unanimously. SLIDE SHOW AND PROGRAM Ben Wiese presented a slide show entitled "The Bridge" from the National Institute of Senior Centers. Vann told the Council that the staff has revised the Ebenezer Architectural Program for the Senior Center. It has recently been given to the architect Roland Wehner. In early March the schematic floor plans will be finished and available for review by the public for additional input. A University of Iowa design class will bring a design to the March Council of Elders meeting. The contract for construction will hopefully be awarded in June 1979. The present plan for opening of the Senior Center is that it will occur in May 1980 during Older American's month. Vann presented an organizational chart of the Senior Center to the Council of Elders. She informed them that the City Council thought this would be a workable plan. She said that the Senior Center Commission would receive advise from the Council of Elders, Service providers, and others. She further explained that the bylaws of the Senior Center Commission in draft form are at the City Council now and will then go to Johnson County. Vann suggested to the Council of Elders to provide input to the City Council for members to be elected to the Senior Center Commission. Vann also mentioned that brochures would need to be produced to explain the programs and services provided by the Senior Center. The public will need to know what to expect from a Senior Center. The Council of Elders could be very helpful in planning and distributing such a publication. OTHER BUSINESS A question was raised if the City Council was going to procede with the Senior Center if the Ecumenical Housing Corporation was delayed. Vann said the City does plan to move on their project regardless of the outcome of the Ecumenical Housing project. Hopefully, however, housing for the elderly will be built adjacent to the Center. She said that at this time a building containing less MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES t101flES MINUTES COUNCIL OF ELDERS FEBRUARY 14, 1979 -- 1:00 P.M. PAGE 3 than 100 units was being reviewed. Mary Rock said that she had been told that the Ecumenical Housing Board had approved a 64 unit building. She suggested that the Council of Elders consider writing a letter or letters to the Ecumenical Corporation supporting Reverend Welsh and the Board. Pollock said the Council of Elders should express their interest in having an elderly apartment complex adjacent to the Senior Center. Moore, Kuhn and Dennis were unanimously elected to write the letter. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

CITY MANAGER'S CONFERENCE ROOM MEMBERS PRESENT: Lilly, Summerwill, Sinck, Alexander, llaupert, Seiberling, Lafore, IVegman, Guthcinz MEMBERS ABSENT: STAFF PRESENT: Wockenfuss Glaves, Conklin RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL To approve the planting plan for Pentacrest Garden Apartments, with the provision that the developer may substitute Calory Pear, Coxpur Hawthorn, or Bradford Pear For the Russian Olive trees as shown on the Planting plan. SUMMARY OP DISCUSSION Chairperson Lilly brought the meeting to order. The minutes for ,lanuary 17 and .January 24 were discussed and approved unanimously. Lilly presented a newspaper article to the Committee "Cities get the Image they Deserve," and suggested that the members read it. Lilly advised the Committee that Norm Bailey of North Bay Construction, Inc. had contacted her to discuss his plans. She had indicated to Mr. Bailey that she would prefer that he discussed the plans with the entire Committee. Glaves advised the Committee that Dick Pattschull would not be present to discuss the new building he is designing at the corner of Burlington and Dubuque Streets at this time. Lilly opened the discussion of the building to be constructed by North Bay Construction. Lilly stated that she did not feel it was the Committee's respon- sibility to design the building. Claves asked if the Committee could identify their concerns regarding materials, color, texture, or proportion of the building, in order to advise Mr. Bailey. Alexander said the main concern was the scale Of the building in relation to the College Block building. Glaves asked if the Committee was concerned with the proportion of the building designed or with the fact that it was not a three story building. The Committee indicated that a taller building would be better. Seiberling inquired as to why the City Council had not required a three or four story building instead of a two story building. Glavosexplained the conclusions reached by Don Zuchelli in researching supportable retail and office space in downtown Iowa City, and explained why the Council had been concerned about protecting the existing downtown by not allowing too much new retail or office space to be built. PENTACREST GARDEN APARTMENTS Glaves reviewed from the minutes the three reasons the Committee had previously felt the planting plan for Pentacrest Garden Apartments should be revised. These reasons were: the use of Russian Olive trees, the use of Hopa Crab trees, and the use of Sugar Maple trees in an area where they were susceptible to exhaust fumes and salt. Glaves presented the revised Planting Plan, noting that the placement of the plant materials was unchanged with the exception of four trees added. Ile then reviewed the changes made by the landscape architect. The Sugar y27 s MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES MIND TS DESIGN REVIEW COMMI'ITEE FEBRUARY 14, 1979 -- 4:00 P.M. I'AGI: 2 Maples on the parking islands were being replaced with Hackberry trees; the Hopa Crabs were being deleted and replaced with other varieties of Crab; and the use of the Russian Olives were being retained. Seiberling stated that the Russian Olive trees required extensive maintenance and a relative open space in which to grow. She suggested the developer should select a tree which would remain smaller and in a more regular form with less amintenance. Seiberling suggested that the developer, and the Committee, should look at the Russian Olives which are located on highway 6 near B.A. Horner and the old Cline Implement buildings. She said a tree such as a Calory Pear would appear nicer and be more appropriate in the space provided. Don Sinck suggested Coxpur Hawthorn as an acceptable substitute. Glaves asked the Committee whether they wished to disapprove the planting plan due to the use of Russian Olives, or whether they wished the substitutions to be suggested to the developer but nor required. Seiberling responded that it was overall a good plan and that it should not be disapproved but rather the developer should be made aware that the Russian Olives would be a high mainten- ance tree and one which has recently not survived well in urban environments. Ilaupert moved and Sinek seconded a motion to recommend to the City Council the approval of the planting plan with the provision that the developer may substitute the following trees for the Russian Olives: Calory Pear, Bradford Pear, or Coxpur Hawthorn. Unanimously approved. NORTH BAY CONSTRUCTION COMPANY INC. Norman Bailey was present to receive additional advice from the Committee regarding the design of his building. In response to the Committee's previously expressed concerns, the windows had been lengthened vertically with a soldier course of bricks below the second story windows to make the building appear higher. The window arrangement had been changed to a more vertical pattern to emphasize building height. In response to the previous suggestion from the Committee the brick had been changed from a dark brick to a light brick. The brick now being proposed was buff colored, and would be accented with dark anodized aluminum window and door trim and a dark anodized aluminum mansard roof. The doors will have a textured metal panel similar to the other metal being used. Lilly asked if a third floor was being considered. Bailey stated that Ile would like to construct three floors if it is feasible. However, his study of the downtown office space market indicated that constructing a third floor to contain office space was not supportable. There was discussion regarding the downtown office market and the market for office space in outlying areas. Summerwill inquired if apartments could be located on the third floor. Bailey explained the relationship between construction costs and required rent. lie explained that based on the square foot construction costs rent would have to be over $300, Pit's utilitites, for a small one bedroom apartment. Lilly stated that after seeing the first plans done by Bill Nowysz. and the second plans, she felt there had to be a better design which was somewhere in between the two. Wegman stated that if Mr. Bailey had brought the existing plans to the Committee in the first place, they probably would have been approved, but compared to his first design, they were disappointing. Bailey indicated that he felt the Committee was holding him to a higher standard than others MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIOIaEs MINUTES DESIGN REVIEW CDIIMITTEE FEBRUARY 14, 1979 -- 4:00 P.M. PAGE 3 Who had constructed huildings on urban renewal property. Alexander stated that what was constructed on other property was not relevant. Lilly indicated that the Committee's concern for a higher quality building was because of the location of this particular site. Alexander felt the building was too massive and bulky looking in relation to the College Block building. He thought the angled side should have a floating quality. There was considerable discussion re- garding the color of the brick. Several members preferred light brick; several members preferred dark brick; and several members did not care which brick was used, but objected to the use of the mansard roof and window and door frames as accent materials. Summerwill thought that the angled area of the building should stand out as a feature adjacent to the fountain. The Committee discussed the angle of the mansard roof, and there was a question as to why the mansard was angled so steeply. Glaves explained that the nearly vertical mansard was used because of the concern the Committee had expressed for the lack of height in a two story building. The mansard roof angled this way allows the building to appear taller, since the mansard would remain visable to pedestrians at street level. Sinek agreed the steeper mansard made the structure appear taller and thought it looked better. There was discussion regarding whether the brick used should match Plaza Centre One or should match City Plaza or should be lighter to contrast with these features. The Committee did not reach a consensus. Lilly stated that she thought a better design could be done if Bailey had a different architect. Mr. Bailey indicated that he appreciated the meeting with the Committee and that he would discuss all of the suggestions with his architect, and would return to the Committee with plans. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
