Berlin pointed out that the money for the land is Side 2 available when Council agrees to the transfer of 1-490 interest, his concern was a delay in the schedule of several months, also additional time to raise equity was a concern and not in the agreement. The City is ready to make further decisions on construction. Construction on the second ramp will start in a couple months, so the progress of the Mall is critical. Hieronymus agreed with Berlin's statement that on the 15th of May, they would start caisson construc- tion, whether they have received 100% of the equity or not, and proceed without delay, and the rest of the plans will be submitted in a timely fashion so that construction can proceed. 4. Hieronymus advised that the Mall would be built in one entire package, Younkers section would be turned over to them in June, 1980, and they planned to open 90 days after that, but would not open unless the rest of the Mall was complete. Leasing is at 90%. NELSON ADULT CENTER, 1. Memo in packet 4/20, noted. 2. Several Councilmembers agreed that the Staff should look at the contingency in the Community Development Block Grant money, to see if extra funding could be allocated. AGENDA Dietz 490-766 1.

Four councilmembers agreed. 3. City Clerk Stolfus requested addition of four items to the Consent Calendar, 24-hour notice being given so that Council may take action. Addition of cigarette permit, beer permit for Four Cushions, petition for sewer from Melrose Avenue residents,and memo from City Engineer regarding roof for Service Building. She reported other changes in procedure which will be needed to comply with the Open Meetings Law. 4.

Summer schedule, every two weeks, probably during July and August, will be drafted by the Staff. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CIDAR RAriDs•Drs nOiMrs informal Discussion April 23, 1979 6. City Manager Berlin presented additional information on proposal for Washington Street between Capitol and Madison. Two-lane street would cost $24,000, and four -lane would cost $33,000. The street is 71 feet wide. The majority of Councilmembers agreed to take parking off this portion and leave 45 feet, four 11 -foot lanes, and allow planting in the remainder. PUBLIC HOUSING PROJECT Seydel present. 766-1120 1. Memo in 472-6 packet noted, follow-up on cost analysis. 2. Neuhauser reported on letter written to Larry Simons, Assistant Secretary for Housing, Housing Finance Commissioner, and FHA Commissioner in Washington asking for a program change. If legislative changes are needed, Council could work with Elaine Baxter at that time. 3. Seydel pointed out that the City must operate and maintain the program on the rent collected, and demonstrated how he computes rent and eligibility. Additional operating subsidy can be applied for after the first operating budget. Also he has applied for 50 additional Section 8 units. In the Housing Assistance Plan, our unmet need is for units for large families. 4. A one-year extension of time to look for additional sites may be requested from HUD. Fair market rents are published and established for Johnson County as a whole, and this is why they are low for Iowa City. Council could review sites they previously turned down. Council agreed to requesting an extension. 5. Neuhauser stated that the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission has gone on record as not endorsing the Regional Housing Authority Plan (HAP). Seydel advised that the Regional Housing Authority cannot participate in Iowa City without the Council's permission, as a Housing Authority is already set up. They could operate without Iowa City but in Johnson County, 72% of housing is in Iowa City. Berlin suggested that Council should look at the whole question of Eastern Iowa, and where the interests are. A letter has been sent noting that we have no interest in HOP (Housing Opportunity Plan), and why. ENGINEERING CALENDAR FOR PROJECTS Dietz 1120-1235 1. Dietz presented the chart of projects. Several Councilmembers wished to study it later. Projects are listed according to priority. 2. Plastino is exploring options re Grand Avenue/Byington, with the University.

APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS & COMMISSIONS 1235-1562 Mayor Vevera commented that vacancies for the Resources Conservation Commission and the Board of Appeals would be readvertised. Regarding consideration of applicants for the Senior Center Commission, Council agreed that they would each vote for five persons, and if any five received a majority of votes, they would be appointed, the persons receiving the highest number of votes would be appointed to the three year terms.

OTHER 1. Neuhauser.suggested that a policy for street sweeping where there is alternate parking should be explored. Berlin advised that more equipment might be needed, especially with use of so much sand. 2. Council discussed how to enforce parking where regulations have been changed by Council, but signs have not. 3. Mayor Vevera reported that he and David Perret had met with University Heights Mayor Stehbens and Councilmembers Good and Breese. They accepted the City's offer of $11,820 for bus service. Regarding the Mutual Aid agreement for Civil Defense, they will furnish trucks and endloaders. University Heights is planning to vacate Marietta and Leamer but not Olive Court. There are only three inches of concrete j - on these streets. The Neuzil tract can also be approached from Woodside.Drive, a private.drive, except that in 1975, Iowa City shut this access off by allowing the private drive for University Lake j Apts. The City could condemn this. Access is still available from Olive Court. University Heights was interested in park acquisition, - - not where Iowa City is discussing, but to the North. 4. Assistant City Manager Helling advised that he had given the Council Legislative Committee a copy of the amendment to the legislation regarding a tax break for corporations who are registering as coming in.. deProsse commented that there should be special thanks to Paul Glaves for his analysis of the bills. Councilmembers agreed. Helling advised that the City has had better cooperation from the j League. Neuhauser suggested that a letter of thanks be written to the League stating that the Council has been better informed and -has had better communications this year.
