Jim indicated that there has been a change in personnel at Center East and we wondered if there will be any conflict with the prayer service that is now being held from 4:30 to 4:45 in the main room next to Synthesis.

CIVIC CENTER ENGINEERING CONFERENCE ROOM MEMBERS PRESENT: Gormezano, Hotka, Shepherd, Singer. MEMBERS ABSENT: Bolnick, Denninger. STAFF PRESENT: Tinklenberg. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN Hotka called the meeting to order. Singer moved, Gormezano seconded, to approve the minutes of the November 15 meeting as read. Approved unanimously. SOLAR GRANT PROJECT UPDATE Tinklenberg had nothing new to report on the applications for the solar grants. The Commissioners informally agreed that a 30 day period was adequate for soliciting bids and proposals. Singer moved, Shepherd seconded, to approve the following criteria for solar grant awards: 1. There will be a minimum of two grants awarded, 2. The maximum grant award amount is $3,500, 3. Bid cost, 4. The ability of the grantee to provide private funds to supplement the $3,500 if necessary, 5. Collector BTU output per dollar cost of the collector, 6. Applicant home energy efficiency, and 7. Applicant assurance that he and/or she will not change the thermostat setting and energy consumption from the past twelve months (as much as reasonably possible). Approved unanimously. EARTH SHELTERED HOMES SEMINAR REPORT Tinklenberg distributed his report and summarized some of its main points. An earth sheltered home can save up to 80% of the energy used in a conventional home at little or no additional construction cost. Tinklenberg reported that at this time there did not appear to be any barriers to earth sheltered homes in the Iowa City Code. IOWA ENERGY POLICY COUNCIL LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS Gormezano moved, Shepherd seconded, that the RCC request staff to obtain the Iowa Energy Policy Council staff analysis of each of the Energy Policy Council's thirteen legislative proposals. Approved unanimously. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS-DLS rioiues 39-51 I Resources Conservatt.,n Commission November 29, 1979 Page 2 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Transportation: Hotka felt that transportation issues should be reviewed continually. The Commissioners suggested a number of items to be looked at: - encourage a good load factor on the buses and promote steady year around growth, - railroad closings should be watched since the main railroad serving Iowa City is one of those going bankrupt, - raise bus fares during the winter months only, - give free or reduced parking in the parking ramps for carpool autos possibly only during winter, - enforce downtown parking meters at night, - require parking permit stickers costing for example $100 to be displayed on any car parking on City streets where there are no parking meters - possibly for nine months out of year, - expand bus service to midnight Monday thru Thursday and to 2:00 A.M. on Friday and Saturday nights, - reorganize bus routes for night service, - Police Department purchase compact and subcompact autos. The Commissioners felt they should take up the transportation issues again at the next meeting. Community Liaison: Shepherd announced that he had become a member of the Johnson County Solar Energy Association. Tinklenberg informed the Commission that the Johnson County Solar Energy Association was offering a Basic Solar Course at 7:00 P.M. on December 4 and 5. Again the Commissioners suggested a number of items to be looked at: - establish a list of Iowa City area organizations that the RCC can communicate with on energy and either serve as a clearinghouse for their newsletters or meet jointly with them - give programs for energy conservation and aim them to specific audiences, - get energy conservation experts in Iowa City together to promote the exchange of ideas and information and to get their input on a community wide energy conservation program. OTHER BUSINESS Uniform Building Code: Tinklenberg reported, in response to past RCC inquiries, that the 1979 edition of the Uniform Building Code has substantial changes from the 1976 edition. Also, the City presently has only three copies of the Code: one at the Library, one at the City Clerk's Office, and one at the Director of Housing and Inspection Services' Office. Since the Code will not be adopted until June, 1980, Tinklenberg recommended that the Commissioners check out the Library's copy for the present period. Home Energy Saver's Manual: Tinklenberg reported that the Iowa Energy Policy Council would send 1000 copies to the RCC for distribution. Singer MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 14DINES Resources Conservat,.,n Commission November 29, 1979 Page 3 offered to compile a list of stores to distribute the manuals to and Gormezano offered assistance if any advertising would be done.

CIVIC CENTER CONFERENCE ROOM MEMBERS PRESENT: Eskin, Terry, Madsen, Pepper, Washburn MEMBERS ABSENT: None STAFF PRESENT: Shaffer, Helling OTHERS PRESENT: Bill Blough, Eva Daum, Al Hood all from Hawkeye CableVision; Connie Tiffany from the Library. RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL: None. REQUESTS TO CITY MANAGER FOR INFORMATION AND STAFF ASSISTANCE: Request resolution drawn up by Scholten and BTS. MATTERS PENDING COMMISSION -COUNCIL DISPOSITION: None. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN: The Broadband Telecommunications Commission had sent a letter to the Board of Adjustment which included their findings regarding the proposed Hawkeye CableVision tower site (this matter is before the Board of Adjustment who will consider granting a special exception to the R1A zoning for the tower site). Included in the letter were reasons why the special exception should be seriously considered and granted if at all possible. A rejection of the special exception would probably result in a delayed system activation date (possibly beyond ordinance required March 28, 1980 deadline). MEETING CALLED TO ORDER Meeting called to order at 4:40 p.m. MINUTES Moved by Terry seconded by Eskin to approve minutes. Minutes approved 5-0. ANNOUNCEMENTS Thursday, November 29th, Mr. Dididovich will be in Iowa City to give a lecture on the International Visual Arts Package he is trying to establish involving satellite hookups. Watch the Daily Iowan for meeting and lecture times. Hawkeye proposed some changes in their channel lineup in a previous BTC meeting. It was decided in a conversation between Roger Scholten, Drew Shaffer and Robert Pepper that changes in Hawkeye's proposed channel lineup must be approved by the City Council. Roger Scholten is drawing up an amendment to the ordinance that would give BTC authority to approve small changes so that the Council will not have to deal with every small detail that comes up involving cable and/or MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES t1olliEs 4-a'5 6Z 9 V ._..'.tel 2 access. Changes proposed by Hawkeye will be analyzed by the BTC and recommendations will be given to the City Council at a later date. Madsen, Eskin and Shaffer worked on a letter to the Board of Adjustment which included the BTC's recommendations on the tower site special exception. This letter was sent to Boothroy (Planning and Zoning staff) and Harris (Chairman of the Board of Adjustment). Evidently all members of the Board of Adjustment did not receive the letter so it will be sent again to Boothroy and each member of the Board of Adjustment. Boothroy of Planning and Zoning recommended that the special exception be granted to Hawkeye CableVision. No decision was reached on the special exception by the Board of Adjustment in the November 7th meeting. This was a result of testimony received from citizens who believe the special exception should not be granted on grounds of 1) questionable tower safety, 2) surrounding property devaluation and 3) aesthetics. Blough of Hawkeye CableVision was asked to supply information addressing these three points. The next Board of Adjustment meeting to take up these issues is December 5th, 4:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. REPORT FROM HAWKEYE CABLEVISION Blough reported that in an effort to comply with the Board of Adjustments requests, the structural engineer who designed the tower to be used in Iowa City will be flown into Iowa City for the next Board of Adjustment meeting, on December 5th. In addition an appraisers report has been obtained concerning the devaluation of surrounding property. Blough reported Boothroy has found the land in question near the tower site could not have a sewer put in without the City putting in a water lift. (This may be significant information regarding surrounding property value and possible devaluation caused by a tower). The current delays in tower site approval will mean a loss of three weeks to 30 days in Hawkeye's construction time table. If the tower site is approved on December 5th the system activation date (March 28, 1980) should still be attainable. Blough will file for other site approval from FAA in case the current proposed site is rejected (in the hope of preventing more time losses). Turnkey has been let to American Electronics Laboratories out of Lansburg, Pennsylvania. Scientific Atlanta or RCA will get the contract for the head end equipment. The Board of Regents for the Universities will be deciding whether a hub site can be located on the U of I campus shortly. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES 3 REPORT FROM SPECIALIST Shaffer passed out three articles to BTC members concerning cable and access programming ideas. Shaffer gave a one page report on the National Federation of Local Cable Programmers conference in Chicago November 10th and 11th. A rough draft of the BTS budget 1980-1981 was circulated to the BTC members for scrutiny and comments. It was suggested by Terry to boost the travel budget. Shaffer reported copies of Iowa City's RFP and ordinance were sent to Royal Oaks, Michigan on request as they are now involved in a franchising process. Shaffer also reported Senators Heinz and Hollings are proposing the creation of a National Endowment for Children's Television (which could mean possible program funds for Iowa City projects). I CONSIDERATION OF BTC's GOALS & OBJECTIVES It was unanimously agreed that the BTS would complete formulation of the Goals and Objectives for the BTC and process them as necessary. The BTS was given full endorsement to proceed and complete this process. ADJOURN Moved by Terry seconded by Washburn to adjourn. Unanimously approved.

He commented that the premises can't be re -rented until a "Forcible BSntry & Detainer Action" is filed, a process taking approx. thirty days. Tucker suggested that this action be started if, by the end of the week, there is no word from McCrebb's attorney with regard to relinquishing the rights to the lease. He also commented that repairs on the building could be made in the meantimee but the tennant would not be: obligated to pay for them. General discussion followed. It was moved by Bleckwenn, second by Embree, that McCrabb be given the remainder of the week to react to the three day notice of termination of tenancy that he was served) if there is no reaction, the ICMAC should go ahead with the Forcible Entry & betainer Action. Motion carried. Tucker discussed past and present leases between E.K. Jones and the city of Iowa City, relating to the Iowa City Flying Service and Jones as FBO, tie also discussed Jones' agreements & contracts with the City concerning his position as Airport Manager. The present lease originated on Oct. 3, 66, and covered 1966-76, with a ten year opyon for renewal, which was taken. A separate management contract with Jones ran until July 20, 1978, at which time a new management contract was started.

He also.as,...d if the Commission would vote on this subject before the public comments were heart. Tucker replied that the public could comment concerning the possibility of a closed session, but he oulAest.ed that the Commisafon not vote at this time. Pull commented that he was a member of the ICHAC when they discussed the renewal of the luase, in question. Full said that lie could not fault Jones if' he was in the wrong- that. Jones merely wanted to run a FBO. Full discussed the lease briefly, and atatrd thatthe contract was being picked apart for nefarious purposes. He remarked that,, as a businessman, Jones needs a long-term lease. Full commended Jones, and stated that tie ought, to have a fair shake. Bob Bautremont asked how legally binding this special meeting would be, if any IC'MAC member was found to have a conflict of interest. Tucker replied thatthe question of whether or not the lease is valid .would have to be decided by a court, not the 1CIMC. He also commented that the lease with the ICFS is not void at this time.

General discussion followed. Tucker reiterated that the ICMAC can not decide whether or not the lease is legal, merely if it is satisfactory to them. It is legal until someone questions it.
