cannot afford to replace burnt out lights on their vehicles by replacing them for free.

taillight, brake light, turn signal, or license plate light can offer a voucher to drivers to
have the burnt-out bulb replaced at no charge at one of the participating shops listed
below. While officers can still issue citations for equipment violations, the goal of
B.U.L.B.S! is to give an option to officers to assist a driver experiencing financial or
personal hardship a means to avoid costly fines, repairs and the inconvenience and
frustration of being stopped due to a burnt-out light. 38 vouchers were given out during
this quarter.

• Multiple contacts with Elder Abuse Task Force, Coalition for Racial Justice, Johnson
County Human Trafficking Coalition, Johnson County Suicide Prevention Coalition,
Oaknoll Retirement Community Outreach Program, Johnson County Drug Task Force,
and Sexual Assault Investigation Team
• Iowa City Downtown District —To champion the Iowa City Downtown District as a
progressive, healthy, and culturally vibrant urban center of the region.
• The Downtown Liaison continues to represent the Iowa City Police Department and
participate in the White House's Data -Driven Justice Initiative. This is a coalition of city,
county, and state governments who have committed to using data -driven strategies to
divert low-level offenders with mental illness out of the criminal justice system and
change approaches to pre-trial incarceration
• The Downtown Liaison's partnership with the Johnson County Local Homeless
Coordinating Board (LHCB), the Frequent User Systems Engagement (FUSE) sub-
committee and the winter Low -Barrier Shelter sub -committee.
The FUSE sub -committee has developed a "housing first" initiative which will provide
housing to chronically homeless individuals with a goal of reducing their use of
emergency services. During this quarter the FUSE project received more than $3 million
in federal and state money. The 24 -unit project will likely break ground in early 2018.
The winter Low -Barrier Shelter sub -committee has identified and secured a location for
the fourth consecutive year. The Winter Extreme Temperature Shelter (WET Shelter) is
currently open and located at 821 South Clinton Street. This alternate housing provides
shelter for individuals who may be intoxicated or are otherwise ineligible to receive
housing at the Emergency Housing Shelter, therefore reducing the use of other
emergency services and provide "housing first" during the winter months
• The ICPD continues to collaborate with the Iowa City Bike Library to repurpose
abandoned bicycles impounded by the Department. Instead of being auctioned or
recycled as scrap metal, the Iowa City Bike Library refurbishes some of the bicycles
which are then lent out through their organization. The remaining bicycles are collected
by Working Bikes. Working Bikes is a non-profit organization that rescues discarded
bicycles and gives them new life by redistributing them in global communities. The
police department and other City Staff also repurpose unclaimed bicycles for community
outreach with disadvantaged youth and adults.

MEMORANDUM
Date: January 23, 2018
To: Geoff Fruin, City Manager
From: Jessica Bristow, Historic Preservation Planner
Re: Downtown District Survey project status
Introduction: The City of Iowa City is working with architectural historian Alexa McDowell of
AKAY Consulting in Minneapolis to update the 2001 Survey and Evaluation of the Iowa City
Central Business District. The previous survey and evaluation of the downtown area was
completed in 2001 by consultants Svendsen Tyler, Inc. An updated survey is desired due to
considerable changes in downtown Iowa City over the past 16 years. The boundaries of the
survey update area are: Clinton Street on the west, Iowa Avenue on the north, Gilbert Street on
the east and Burlington Street on the south.
Status: The project began with a public kick-off meeting held at the Englert Theatre on
September 12, 2017 at which McDowell introduced the project and process. She also held
thirteen one-on-one meetings with Downtown leaders, business people and property owners.
This past Fall she reviewed and photographed the exterior of the buildings within the survey
area and revised their narrative descriptions. She held a public meeting with owners at Merge
on November 30, 2017 to discuss how properties are categorized in a Historic District and what
the effects and benefits of a District can be for individual buildings. McDowell is currently
updating the Multiple Property Documentation Form (MPD) from the 2001 Survey. This MPD
Form discusses the buildings in the study area as a group. She is also beginning to outline and
compile the project report which will provide recommendations including the boundary and
justification for any potential Historic District and/or Landmarks in the area.
Project Completion: Once the Consultant has completed the update to the MPD Form and has
written her draft report she will submit it and all updated site inventory forms (individual
buildings) for staff and Historic Preservation Commission review. The documents will be made
available to the public and a final public meeting will be held. This public meeting may be held in
mid to late March and the final report should be completed and all documents submitted to the
City by the end of May 2018. The final report could provide the basis for the implementation of
historic overlay zoning and/or National Register listing for a Downtown Historic District or
individual landmarks.
