Knight, Planner/Program Analyst / Re: Iowa City's Housing Assistance Plan (HAP), July 1, 1979 to June 30, 1980 The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, delineates several responsibilities of local governments in regards to housing. Essentiall, these responsibilities include: y 1. Any new Federally assisted housing must follow a local housing assistance plan; and 2. The local housing assistance plan must be part of any Community Development Block Grant program. Because of the provisions of this Act, the City of Iowa City prepares a Housing Assistance Plan annually in order to meet the requirements of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Currently, Iowa City Is involved in two HUD programs. The first is the Community Developme Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement program,.which the City has been involved with for the last 4 years. The second is the CDBG Small Cities Program, for which the City is currently completing its first final application. HUD requires the HAP as a means of determining what a community's hous- ing needs are. This statement of need is then used to determine how much housing assistance funds are allocated to that community. The HAP is made up of three major parts: I. The condition of the local housing stock -- the local community must present an analysis of housing condition by number of units in standard condition, or in substandard condition and whether they are owner or renter occupied. In Iowa City, there is an estimated total of 17,911 housing units available. Of these units, about 2,424, or 13% are considered substandard. Although these figures seem to indicate the deter- ioration of the City's housing stock, it has also been estimated that 2,360, or virtually all of the substandard units are suitable for rehabilitation. 2. The housing assistance needs of lower income persons -- this survey of housing assistance needs gives special attention to the minority Population, women, elderly and handicapped persons, persons dis- placed by federal programs and large families. idaq MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RANDS -DES IIOIHES 2 In Iowa City, it has been estimated that there are 1,941 households requiring assistance. These include those households with an income lower than 80% of the median income of Johnson County, adjusted by size of household, and living in inadequate housing. 3. An annual local goal for assisted housing units, and a three year goal -- this will specify the number of dwelling units or persons to be assisted, including the relative proportion of new, rehab- ilitated, and existing dwelling units and the sizes and types of housing projects and assistance best suited to the needs of lower income persons in Iowa City. The three year goal will extend this information over a three year period. In establishing these goals for Iowa City, first priority was given to meeting the needs of those households or housing types which were not met previously. Because of this, housing assistance to families was designated as a high priority for the coming year. It was also designated that goals set up to meet the needs of homeowners would be achieved mainly through HUD 312 loans, which provide Federal funding for housing rehabilitation. Section 235 housing will be investigated for feasibility in Iowa City as another means of alleviating the needs of low income homeowners. Goals for meeting the needs of renters will be achieved through a variety of programs, including new construction, rehabilitation and rental assistance. Using this information, the annual goal for Iowa City was set at 135 assisted units. This breaks down between owners and renters as follows: Large Family 2 15 17 i Total 45 90 135 Overall, the three year goals will be 70 for homeowners and 265 for j renters for a total of 335 assisted units. A complete copy of the Iowa City Housing Assistance Plan can be found in the Community Development Block Grant Entitlement 5th Year Application which was distributed to you in February. The information contained in this document will be discussed further at the Thursday, May 22 Council meeting. A public hearing will be held at this time on the Housing Assistance Plan, with staff members present to answer questions.

Bowlin, Assistant City Attorney Re: Agreement Reference Property Taxes for Blocks 83 and 84 Attached to this memorandum please find a copy of a proposed agreement reference property taxes between the City and Johnson County, Iowa. This agreement basically provides that the City will offer $47,707.76 to the County in payment of disputed property taxes; and in return the County will show those taxes and penalty and interest paid. We are proposing this agreement so that the taxes will show as paid in the abstracts. This is necessary to satisfy the title insurance company that is going to be insuring title to the parts of Blocks 83 and 84 to be transferred to Old Capitol Associates. Of course, the agreement contains specific language that the payment of these taxes does not constitute a waiver of any of the City's rights or claims that these taxes should not have been assessed in the first place, or that interest should not have been added. It is our intention to enter into this agreement with Johnson County, and Pat White, the First Assistant County Attorney, will be recommending this agreement to the Board of Supervisors on Wednesday, May 23. If you have any comment concerning the agreement please direct it either to John Hayek or myself. Thank you. jml/24 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MORTES /02& AGREEMENT REFERENCE PROPERTY (AXES The following agreement is entered into by and between the City of Iowa City, Iowa, a municipal corporation, and Johnson County, Iowa, a county I government, in connection with the payment of certain property taxes in Iowa City, Iowa. i The County has assessed property taxes against property located in Block 84 of Iowa City, Johnson County, Iowa, for the years 1973 and 1974. This property was acquired by the City of Iowa City in connection with Urban Renewal Project Iowa R-14. The total amount of property taxes, penalty, and interest assessed against the property involved is $47,707.76. The property involved and the assessed amounts are more particularly described on the attached exhibits Al through A8 which by this reference are made a part of this agreement. In order to clear up certain title problems created by the assessment of the above described taxes the City of Iowa City will pay the taxes, penalty and interest set forth above in the amount of $47,707.76 to the County and tenders a check payable to Johnson County, Iowa, in that amount with this agreement. It is, however, agreed by the parties that the payment. of these taxes at this time by the City shall in no manner constitute a waiver by the City of its claim that said property taxes are not due and payable at this time and are not properly assessable against this property. The payment by the City to the County of these taxes shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights the City may have with respect to these taxes. It is understood by both parties that a lawsuit has been brought in Johnson County District Court to determine the respective rights of the parties with respect to these property taxes and certain other property taxes. / MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES IIDInES 0 Dated at Iowa City, Iowa, this _ day of 1979.
