In preparing - -this report, I have reviewed the audited financial report for the year ended June 30, 1975, and tax base projections for the years out to 1979 thatwill laterbeused for the development of Capital- Improvement Program and estimation of operating budgets through FY 1980: From an overall financial investment standpoint,the City of'Iowa City is remarkably strong for a city this size which is the home of a major university. The municipal tax base continues a strong sustained growth that. was begun in 1164, primarily as"a result of the rapid advance of the valuation of residential property. During the last ten years, the base has grownfrom an assessed value of just over 34 million dollars as of January 1, 1964 to-,: • an assessed value of just over-115 million dollars as of January 1, 1975 (assessed value = 27% of actual value). -This is an increase of 3.5_times during that span, or 240%. Our projections indicate that by December I 1979, the tax base will have grownan additional-30% beyond January 1, 1975, four percentage points of whichwillbedue to central business district redevelopment. This projection is based upon a conservative estimate of long term trends, and does not reflect the straight line projection of the, large increases that have taken I place in the tax base over the last two.or three years. Although this substantial growth provides the underlying. security for the City's excellent financial condition, it has resulted in a dramatic shift of the tax burden to residential property over that which existed in 1964. This is a-situation which willpartiallybe alleviated, by insuring that the most valuable land in the community located in and around the CBD be redeveloped to its highestandbest use. At the same time that the underlying tax base has continued a strong growth 'patterq, the city's general obligation bond debt has remained relatively low I in proportion. At June 30, 1975,,only $5,053,000 in general obligation . bonds were outstanding, $1,525,000 of which is considered to be self- liquidating from water and sewer revenues. The debt limit at that date WaS $17,726,608, resulting in a margin available for additional issues of $12,673,608.. The ratios of outstanding debttoincome per capita and assessed valuation per capita continues to improve. If sound management andadministration of the organization continues, there is no question that the City will be able to retain a Aaa rating.on its outstanding tax supported obligations. Last, but certainly not least among the strengths of the City's overall financial condition, is the fact that the City Council has• not found it necessary as yet to compel taxation beyond the 30 mill property tax.limit, and has looked to all other available resources in order to support the cost of . municipal services. Doing so bag not been Vithour, diff Galt making, and has in fact resulted in the only problem area which we see financially in the short term. During the last three fiscal years (including To: Neal Berlin September 19, 1975, Page 2 FY 1976)'all 'of the revenue sources that could be identified have been allocated, 3= and most of -the contingency working_ balances have likewise been used. Although the amount of property tax levied for collection represents only about 3,5% of total - resources, the growth in other resources will not be nearly as great as the potential; growth in the tax base in the forseeable future. This condition combines] to bring about the unusual situation of'..being'i.n a position -of strong overall financial strength, while at the same time suffering from limitations on resources to support current operating expenditures. The resource allocation problem is brought most clearly to mind when looking at current and; potential service considerations, and at the rising costs of personal services. 'Service organizations such as municipal government have a critical need for competent and well-trained people. In our organization, personal service costs amount to over 70% of budget expenditures,when;pension and other benefit costs are considered. By far the biggest cause -.of the rise in operating costs during the past two fiscal years has been the substantial increase in personal ;service costs brought about by additions to the staff andincreases in the compensation program. Current projections indicate that in FY 1977, new property tax revenue in excess of $580,000 will be available at the 30 mill level. - If a salary..- plan alary plan for that fiscal year is applied in the same manner, as FY 1976, the additional -costs-could approach as much as $435,000 just=in the General Fund. This is most significant when you realize that the substantial increase in new property tax revenue in the next fiscal year is brought about by a rather unusually large. upward adjustment in assessed value, and in a.normal year, a $435,000_ increase for personal services would be far more than the increase in propertytaxavailable, to say nothing of increases in other available' resources. It is obvious that if the City is to maintain a competitive compensation program consistent with changing economic conditions, then limitations will have to be placed on the addition of new personnel, or else a shifting of personnel allocations will have to take place consistent with new program priorities. / If one were to look at the level of program service that the City has been performing for the last few years, year-to-year increases in the cost of those programs could be identified by inflation -alone. However, in addition to those services, new projects already committed will increase the -need for additional staff in such areas as maintenance of the amenities in the -Urban Renewal area; improvement and development of many ofthe new park areas that have been recently purchased; and mass transit expansion. In addition, the Council has under consideration more new programs which I presume will compete for available resources. These demands are compounded by the _fact that almost a full year's entitlement of revenue sharing has now been committed to the operatingbudgetannually, and a replacement for the one-time use.of the; special $69,000 in state municipal' assistance will be required during the next budget year. In summary, it can be stated that the City is in an overall strong financial position which shows no signs of, erosion in the near future.- However, resources for financing current operating, expenditures are limited, --and the City Council and administrative staff will be required to make some 'rather 'tough decisions with regard to program service levels soon. There are some who say that additional Federal or State assistance will be'available-for --financing operating, expenditures for -certain services -and this will; permit both a property tax reduction and an expansion of new `programs. Both of these conditions are not possible at the same MINUTES - - CITY -UNIVERSITY MEETING SEPTEMBER S, 1975 PERSONS PRESENT: Dick Gibson, -Dennis -Kraft,, Ray Mossman, Dick Plastino, -and Joe Pugh SEWER SERVICE CHARGES: The University representatives indicated that ,the sewer service study schedule, budgets, and maps were not; yet ready and that these would be made available to the City of Iowa City some time during the month of September." The University also indicated that they`had.included a $100,000 item in the U. of I.'s capitol asking for backwash equipment for sludge retention.` This would have the overall effect of reducing the amount of sludge that would flowintothe Iowa City sewer system. ?I MADISON STREET:- The University indicated that they would like to have Madison Street put on the Council agenda in the near future and that they had prepared drawings for this proposed closure. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: It was reported by City representatives that the draft of the Comprehensive Plan Study Design was now underway_and_that work on the plan would start in the near future. CARVERPAVILION TRAFFIC STUDY:- -- The University representatives indicated that.the roads in the vicinity of the Carver Pavilion would be primarily for emergency and service vehicles'= and that this would be a.two-lane. facility:. University representatives also presented a -tentative -design of this: street system. `The University repre- sentatives also indicated that as of this time they had not come up with a solution to how bus service would be'provided 'to -this part of the campus. WASHINGTON STREET: The University representatives indicated that their campus planners reviewed both the 'amenities program and the Washington -Street -design, and they further indicated that the campus planning committee would subsequently review this. The -University -representatives indicated their interest in establishment of an; appropriate interface withtheWashington Street amenities and the Penta crest. STREET SIGNING:' The City representatives indicated that as of this time they have not received a response from the City's legal staff relative to the impact of minimal street signing in certain parts`of Iowa City., It was also indicated that the City's legal staff presently has a very heavy work Ioad in both _ r _2 litigation and Urban Renewal related activities. The University indicated that it is 'continuing to work with consultants on this subject. BIKEWAYS PLAN: It was mutually agreed upon that the City and the University will work - jointly on a Bikeways study. _ City representatives indicated that this study would be completed_ sometime this fall and that it would be given a priority rating. - _ ACCESSIBILITY FOR THE HANDICAPPED: A brief discussion was held on this item and.University representatives indicated that they were tentatively -considering -requesting additional allocation for the removal of"architectural.barriers-for the handicapped. City representatives indicated ,that there was an environmental' assessment presently underway which related to the City's architectural barrier - removal program. City representatives also indicated that the architectural` barrier removal program would be undertaken as -a part, of the fiscal year 1975 funding under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. URBAN RENEWAL PROPERTY PURCHASES: The purchase price of parcels of land that the University is scheduled to acquire under the Urban Renewal program were discussed. The City is in the process of obtaining' appraisals. VACATION OF STREETS AND ALLEYS: It was reported to the University -that -the alley locatedimmediatelynorth of the old First Presbyterian Church at the northwest corner of Market and Clinton Streets has been vacated but, as of this time, the deed has not yet been issued. City representatives indicated they would. inform the University -- -= as to whether a part of or the entire alley between Clinton and Capitol Streets has been vacated. STUDENT HOUSING: A brief discussion was held relative to the various existing City housing "programs the programs for which applications' have been -submitted to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and also a recapitulation was given as to the bidding for houses in the R-14 project area. Univer- sity representatives indicated that they would be working on additional housing related programs. It was decided that it would be to the mutual benefit of both parties to have work on the subject of housing continue in a coordinated manner. EMERGENCY WARNING SYSTEM: It was reported that'a grant has been submitted and at the present time no word has been received as to whether or not the emergency va_rrfrg system ` 'will be funded. _ CTTY OF I014A_FY1976 BUDGET CLASSIFICATION DETAIL• f _ FUND Intergovernmental Revenue PROGRAM Reimbursable FUNCTION State Programs - ACTIVITY 6523.0Bicentennial Week' _-7T7777 - DEPARTMENT,;_ CLASSIFICATION COMMENTARY ESTIMATE '?: j 7130 `.

Bags also are safer for collectors since there is less contact with the refuse and fewer injuries caused by heavy lifting or rusted cans. The use of bags can help in implementing curbside collection since citizens will not have to carry cans to the curb. Bags should be strong enough that they won't break; should be of reasonable size (thirty to thirty-five gallon capacity) and should have some means of being_ tightly closed. h -is recommended that plastic. bags be at least two mils thick ands. be made of polyethylene. Paper bags should be of waterproof paper with watertight seams. e Most -cities permit residents to bag their trash on a $ , voluntary basis. Other cities require the use of bags by g j ordinance. Mandatory programs tend to have better participa- tion rates, though wider citizen acceptance isachieved. if mandatory programs arepreceded by a voluntary program to �' -' ' -introduce citizens to the practice. _ Distribution of bags can be accomplished by the citizens buying their_own,.by the city supplying them for sale, orby the city illipplying them free. Costs of the bags vary over time. They; now range from 64 to 154 per bag. Lower prices can often be obtained by a longterm contract for a large number of bags. These costs can be offset by savings resulting front bag usage if. the bags are combined with other cost saving measures ;y such, as reduced -crew, sizes or_a- switch from backyard to curbside service.= A commonly voiced problem with bag usage is that animals rip them open causing more problems than they are worth.

Citizens might also be encouraged not to put bags out the niglri. before.As mentionedearlier the use of bags can be combined with other- cost saving system improvement strategies.

Most of those decisions are made on an ad hoc and -uncoordinated basis. The result is a general uncoordinated development pattern and living environment that may not reflect, -the desires and°goals of the citizenry as a whole. The City has an opportunity to establish a set of -inter- related and coordinated plans and policies that -can be used as a guide for affecting and influencing those many daily decisions and ' actions in a positive manner so that both public and private activities contribute to a sense of direction that is desired by the community. . The pace of change, while not rapid, is continual. This presents the opportunity to affect and influence changes in the community in a positive manner to improve existing conditions and situations, to correct past faults, to preserve special areas of the community, and to provide a better range of choice and service to the citizens of Iowa City. Traditional planning activities were concerned with the physical develop- ment of the community; land use, civic design, community facilities, . utility systems, streets, and major transportation facilities. The ' logic was that physical facilities, as cities were usually only improved living- interested in, could be; planned to result in a socially environment. This past history has indicated ,that orientation on.purcly the development of the; community without a strong orientation ' -physical and relationship to the basic policy and decision making process would - not necessarily result in an improved community environment. ' Iowa City stands at a special point where it has the opportunity to - initiate a planning process that contains -a broad scope to cover and -' link together` various interrelated activities, plans and programs. Special pressures-have+been brought to bear upon -the City which require a,positive-reaction and a moving forward by the City. These ' three basic areas are -in (1) the developmentof policy' concerning future development of the community, (2) the new area of the provision of human services, with which the City it finds itself becoming more involved, and (3) the redevelopment activities of the community to - preserve neighborhoods and special areas especially in light of the ' Housing -and Community Development Act Block Grant funds and the planning requirements contingent upon those funds. ' - As this broad range of activities indicates, the City can be involved time, dollars in many more activities than it has resources in terms of • • 1 2. 1 and staff to cover.

' ouncil The Role of City Council- Theplanning process as proposed in this document should involve all The of the Council in a very close manner throughout -.the entire planning process. It is importantthatthe City. Council be involved so -the plan reflects_ the desires_, and policies that are acceptable to the Council and that will be used in the decision-making '' processes in the future. The development of policies, as part of the policies plan ' will give the extent of commitment of the Councilto various programs and services. This has obvious budgetary considerations in that it ' will provide a better framework for prioritizing services and programs to be included within the annual budget and the five-year Capital Improvements Program. It is suggested that a sub, -committee of the Council work directly with the staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission throughout the planningprocesssothat the Council is intimately informed of and has a thorough working knowledge of ,the background information, opportunities, and problems of the community, the policies that will be used in decision making, and the development of plans and programs for implementation. By having a strong Council/work relationship within the planning process, it would be assured that the plans and programs will, play 'a central management and decision-making role in the operation of City government. direct involvement It is anticipated that this role will extend to andparticipationin the citizen input mechanisms explained in this study design.` This involvement is especially important to .observe and ' understand the desires of the community. The 'Role of the Planning and Zoning Commission ' Due to its advisory nature and central, planning responsibilities, the - Planning and Zoning Commission will play;'a broader and more significant ' role in the planning process. --Its proposed function.is to act as a central coordinating body, to bring together and attempt to resolve the diverse recommendations and comments of the other boards and., commissions and other public and private organizations. This will necessitate the ' establishment of a close working relationship and mechanism among the City Council, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Staff." The _ Commission will also be directly involved with and participate in the ' citizen input process. The Role of the Staff The City Planning Staff within the Department of Community Development . will provide basic planning, background and assistance throughout the ' planning process. Work relationships will be coordinated very closely and work ties will be developed through coordinated work programs with the Johnson County Regional: Planning Commission as explained below. The process given in this document requires that the elected officials, especially the City Council, and the citizens of the community, determine the policies and general direction the communitydesires. The City's Planning Staff will only assist by ' presenting background information;_ technical assistance and analysis, and presentation of alternatives and variations of differences based upon technical planning information. The staff role is seen as support in providing background information and technically competent ' analysis to be used in development of the policies, plans, and programs. The Role of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission ' It is proposed that planning activities of the City Staff and the - Johnson County Regional Planning Commission be developed so that ' the activities and` work` programs of the two agencies are coordinated. It is anticipated that for certain areas of analysis, joint task forces will be set up between the two staffs. For other areas of ' analysis and information, the individual' agencies will provide technical ---expertise. Examples of this would be the Area Transportation Study and the Transit Development Plan provided:by the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission as major elements into the circulation portion of ' the comprehensive plan. The .Johnson County Regional Planning Commission has several background documents that have been prepared over the last five years that will provide an initial starting; place' for information and data. These will include the Metropolitan Land Use Plan, the Parks, ' Recreation and Open Space Plan, the Governmental SpaceNeedsStudy, Area Transportation Study documents and Transportation Goals and ' Objectives. _ f 1 1 _. 1 � � 1 G. I SRCI'ION-IS '1111: COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS IThe comprehensive planning process to be used by the City of Iowa City - in the preparation of its Comprehensive Plan and related activities is delineated on Chart I. This planning process is divided into six major activities which are described and outlined in this section. 1. Study Design The study design in an outline of the proposed planning process and the content of the activities, plans, and, programs to be undertaken. It lays out a three-year program for; the accomplishment of basic planning activities. This document represents activity N1. After obtaining approval of this proposed study design and process by the City Council, the process then moves into steps 92 and k3 simultaneously. 2. Planning Inventory This major activity consists of the preparation of a series of major background studies and reports that will form part of the foundation of the basic comprehensive planning process.' (The other part of the foundation will be the identification of issues and problems to be explained later.) These reports will be based upon existing information and studies already accomplished by the City, the. -Johnson County Regional Planning Commission, and ,other agencies. These existing reports will be supplemented as necessary by further information gathered and - developed to fill in identified gaps and to update previous studies,_ _ reports, and plans. These studies review existing conditions draw out 'critical `factors and concerns of the community, identify trends and ,changes that are currently taking place, project those trends into the future, and make appropriate forecasts for activities concerning the City in the future. These basic background areas, as will be explained later, will be treated from four basic viewpoints, envi.ronmental,-human-social, economic, and human-physical. And, in fact, the whole planning process will be pursued in light-of-these four perspectives. They become the factors, criteria and constraints against which background information, the issues and problems, the policies plan, and the plans and programs are developed and judged. - 3. Issues and Problems This major activity will be the identification of community issues and 1 problems that are of concern to the community and will be included as ' • • : 7 CHART 1 COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS study design An outline of the proposed planning process planning inventory issues &problems Background planning studies which A major community input process which will involve citizens, r, - collect information on current trends from four elected and appointed officials, ' conditions and perspectives: and community groups to identify and - ENVIRONMENTAL - issues problems: -WIDE SURVEY - HUMAN -SOCIAL - COMMUNITY - NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS ' - ECONOMIC - - CITY F, NON -CITY ORGANIZATION -HUMAN-PIiYSICAL - MEETINGS policies plan - ' Goals, objectives and policies for environmental, human -social, economic and physical areas of concern.

' This activity also represents the major initial community citizen input into the information, gathering and decision making process. The input will consist of three.major techniques. First will be a. community survey, a mechanism to determine issues and.problems ' perceived by the community in general and to be focused upon in the continuing planning process. The second will be a -series of `. neighborhood meetings to explain informationgathered in the planning inventory phase (N2) as well as the result of the community survey. ' - These meetings will be held over a short, intensive period of time and"will allow for feedback and additional input`to the planning process. The third technique will be meetings with official City boards and commissions and '_other non -city' organizations' so as to - - elicit input from all general interest and special interest groups. 4. Policies Plan - This activity is the major; element and activity ,of the planning process'. 1t represents the development of a written set of goals, objectives ' and policies that will become the major basis for decision making in r the future. This becomes particularly ,impotant,as the City becomes involved in more 'complex and interrelated physical, environmental -These policies will help set the framework and social' activities. for better understanding of the trade-offs between and inpacts of specific decisions as they relate to different policy areas. While planning activities in the'past have generally included a goals, objectives, and policies section, these have usually been a simple listing of.community goals and objectives in a superficial manner. ' The intent of this activity is to develop a meaningful set of goals, objectives, and policies that will be used -(1),in the development of plans, (2) in the development of interrelated programs, (3) in the development of implementation techniques and devices for carrying out the basic and objectives of the community,: -and (4) in the day- -goals to -day decision making process of the City Council, the various boards - ' and commissions, and other private organizations that relate to basic, asiccommunity'issues. community issues. Based, upon the information and studies prepared ,as background infor- mation and the community issues and problems identified in the survey and in the neighborhood and organization.meetings, a series of goals, - objectives and policies will be developed. Initial proposals will be ' obtained from the various citizen committees and boards and commissions. 1 Whcn unresolved conflicts arise with respect to specific goals and ' policies, the Council will be presented with the alternatives and appropriate supporting informati.on. In that the ultimate adoption of policy is the responsibility of the City Council, the final ' determination of conflict resolution will rest with the Council. 5. Plans and Programs and Utilizing the information from the three previous steps, plans programs will be formulated to establish the activities to be of the, community. ' ' accomplished to achieve the goals and objectives for the A distinction can be drawn between plans and programs ' purpose of this study design. Plans will represent more physical oriented activities such as are delineated on maps. Examples would ' be land use plans, community `facilities ',plans, and transportation plans. Programs are more; oriented toward a sequential step of have activities for accomplishing objectives. These activities may ' strong linkages to and have requirements for spatial locations, but The advantage of are less oriented in their composition than plans. producing plans and programs simultaneously is that as human service programs are developed, the spatial activity and physical facility ' needs can be programmed in with the planning process. The activities undertaken as part, of the plans and programs section ' of the process will be grouped into three major categories: (1) human needs and services programs, (2) a comprehensive plan, and (3) the redevelopment and preservation plan. The simultaneous development ' of all three major activities as, part of one planning process will and lead to the appropriate development of interrelated activities plans on a coordinated basis. The interrelatedlinkages will be used to more effectively delineate appropriate and meaningful ' activities and action steps under the three major output categories. G. Implementation This phase will be the development of implementation techniques for carrying out the plans and programs as previously established. These ' implementation techniques will include the adoption of the three anew zoning ordinance and plans, the development of _appropriate associatedzoning map, the preparation of.a range of ,development in the Capital ordinances; the -development of projects for inclusion for inclusion in ' Improvements Program, alternative budget programs identification of appropriate human services budget consideration, the befunded through the.budget, redevelopment and preservation ' to programs, housing programs, recreation programs and others which may be identified in the planning process. 3, y1 • • ' 7. Community/Citizen Input Process -- - - - In order to achieve a widely acceptable output from the planning process,_ substantial citizen involvement -must be obtained in both ' the input process and in the discussion processleadingto the decision making portions of plan development. Citizen input eaning- mechanisms will be incorporated to ensure appropriate and meaning- fulcitizen involvement. These will beaccomplishedin concentrated ful citizen be by having segments of activity so that citizens will not worn out to participate continuously over _a three-year process. Additionally, the process will attempt to provide a technique for dealing with a balance of input .among existing City boards and commissions, other relevant organizations and groups, and the general citizenry whoarcnot part of any organization. The first of these citizen input processes will be a; community survey. This will be accomplished to determine community -wide -attitudes and opinions on ' the condition of Iowa City including issues andproblemsthat the community feels needs attention and which help;set community goals and direction. This survey - will , include_ community development," ' human service, and other issues and areas of concern. This survey will be community wide and will provide all segments of the community the opportunity to have input and to provide feedback ' on City activities. It -is desired that"the-survey technique will (1) provide citizen perceptions of.the effectiveness of public services and facilities, (2) provide identification of problems and issues of ' concern to public decision makers, (3) help identify reasons for the dislike or non-use of services, (4) provide citizen awareness of local government; programs, and (S) provide a means forincreasing citizen participation in government planning and policy formation. ' By attempting to accomplish these purposes, the technique can help -reduce isolation or alienation of the citizens from government. By analyzing the survey results, information on both a geographical area ' basis and a socioeconomic basis can provide important information on services, facilities, and activities ,to be undertaken by both - public agencies and private organizations. ' The results of the survey complete with analysis will be published as - soon as'feasible `after the completion of'the -survey. - ' The second major aspect of community input will involve a concentrated series of meetings with existing City boards and commissions as well 'as other community organizations. The meetings --will provide an 1 12. t - SECT_ION C ' CONTENT AND FOCUS OF PLANNING ACTIVITIES Planning activities under the comprehensive planning process will be ' prepared in the major sequential steps as shown in Chart 1. This, chapter will delineate in more detail the content of several of those planning activities; in particular, the planning inventory, the policies plan, ' the plans and programs phase, and the implementation phase. While it in the is generally-known-what areas will be covered .planning ,process, the process itself may and undoubtedly will uncover additional areas ' that should be included and can be added to the planning process. All planning studies, inventories and analysis prepared as part of the comprehensive planning process will be viewed from four critical per- ' onmental, human-social, economicand human-physical. pectives; environmental, a Dlost of the areas of purview included in the planning process will be analyzed from one or more of these perspectives as appropriate. These ' four perspectives will have varying degrees of importance with respect and programs to any of the given background studies, policies, and plans that will be developed. By utilizing these four perspectives, the hard distinctions that are generally drawn among the various aspects will ' become virtually unimportant as each of the appropriate studies, plans and programs will receive-appropriate analyses and integration. ' Planning Inventory Phase This initial activity will begin with the review of existing reports, ' documents and information and will move into the gathering and preparation of appropriate and updated data and information. Reports will be prepared to coverthebasic areas shown onChart 92._.11hile there is an extensive list.of areas to be several of these will be grouped into major _covered, report activities. Where appropriate, forecasts will be made of future - community trends and directions; such as population, housing, economic base, etc. ' Substantial information is already available in existing reports and documents that have been prepared by the City, by the Johnson County and non-governmental ' - Regional Planning Commission, and by other governmental be reviewed for pertinent organizations and agencies. These will all -- information and inclusion in the 'Iowa City planning process. 'Chart H2 also gives an indication of the relative importance of the four perspectives with respect to each of the background areas of study to be hese be adjusted As information is created and determined, may ' covered. to include greater or lesser analysis. Policies Plan ' As the central and most important part of the pinnning process, a prelimi- set of goals, objecLive:+ and policles will bs pr%p:rrtA nary alternative U 14. ' for public dialogue and development into 'a final set of community -wide accepted policies plan. Conceptually, there is -a hierarchy of :goals, objectives -and policies. This hierarchy, starting at the top, would include national goals at; the first level - state -wide goals at the second level, regional goals at the third -level, -metropolitan goals at the fourth level, and local goals at the fifth level. It is the ' fifth level of local goals, objectives and policies that will be concentrated upon in this process. -A review will be made of the existing goals, objectives and policies that exist on all levels of the hierarchy: This will provide a''background against which appropriate goals, objectives and policies can be developed on the local -level with input from both the planningInventory Phase and the Issues and Problems Phase of the planning process: ' The policies plan that will result will also look at the various areas of concern from the environmental, human -social, economic and human - physical perspectives: The policies plan should then be adopted by City Council as formal Council policy. Though adopted, -the policies plan should not be considered static and non-changing but, should be reviewed, modified; changed, added to, or deleted as necessary through time. The importance of a policies plan is in having one that contains clearly established policies so that: all interested` people and organi- zations areawareof the general thrust and direction of the community. Thero osed P P general structure of the policies plan would follow the general format ,of the output, specifically, the human -social phase, a comprehensive plan phase, and a redevelopment and preservation phase. A possible construct for the development would be a general master grid as shown on -Chart N3 with the four -areas, environmental, human -social economic and human -physical across the top with the left-hand column being the various areas of.concern. ;Appropriate goals and policies could. ' then be delineated under each intersecting square. Plans and Programs In this phase of the planning process, an interrelated set of plans e human and ' programs will ,be delineated covering three major directions, th services plan/program, the comprehensive plan, and the community redevelop- ment and preservation plan.' A series of -plans -and programs will be developed in, each of these three areas. Plans will be given; in general terms to guide decisions and will include level of detail appropriate to the specific actions to be taken. Programs will be developed which will set forth a series of steps, r, activities and actions to be taken. ' - The Human Services Comprehensive Programs/Plan ' This area will look at the total City-wide range of human needs and aY) • 16- 'atcI a �ropriate human services to these needs. There will ' lttcmpt o m PI initially be three thrusts toward the human services comprehensivThe e program. The first will be a City-wide analysis of human beoedm•acted second will deal with area concentrations where there may P ureas of the community that need special and specific human services program application.' The third area will deal with specific population y* Included in and socio-econom71 ic segments of mmulo -income, moderatehincom_ese e land elderl be the youth, the handicapped, y, students. Included in the City-wide concerns might be recreation programs, human justice activities, elderly programs, child-care, youth programs, a ' of housing programs including li broad range populations f mited care facilities, on5 involvement needs, needs, of the handicapped, special nge accessibility and transportation, and others that might be including -identified in the process of human needs analysis. ' Comprehensive Plan This plan will be the physically oriented development program for the City. It will consist of major elements which will delineate activity ' systems and general`physical'locations for he community. It will be phase the policies plan and will indicate developed from the inventory in a generalway the desired direction and type of community development ' in the foreseeable future. will e, land use, Included as subplans or elements of community facilitiesalcivicndesign b(including circulation, utilities, housing, and the environment. architectural/historical preservation), Included in this section will be the assumptions and strategies that were used in developing the various elements and the overall plana Also ' included will be the linkages with the community redevelopment and preser- vation plan and the human services program plan.

The content of the plan 17. 1 °I be more specific because of the need to treat the changes and deterioration ' occurring in these areas by structuring detailed programs and actions to be taken by both the; public and private sectors. ' A special opportunity with respect to -this area of -planning -is that -the physical needs of the areas can be combined with the programming of human services to provide a broad range of public and private activities ' that will focus upon these specific areas of the community. `The appropriate combination of public and private decisions and actions can change the ' direction from deterioration to the restoration of viable neighborhoods ' and special use areas. - Implementation ' `rhe final major activity of the planning process will be the development of implementation devices and techniques. These will be the action steps undertaken by the City to carry out the plans and programs that have been. delineated in the previous planning activities. Specificactivitiesunder ' the implementation will include the following* ' * the development of a planning -programming -management -evaluation for community development and redevelopment activities; process * preparation of projects for inclusion in the Capital Improvements Program; _ * alternative budget programs with priorities for, -inclusion -in budget ' discussions; * the development of a substantially revamped zoning code; ' a revised zoning map; * a series of development ordinances including subdivision, planned unit development, river corridor district, floodplain, storm water retention, historical and architectural preservation, and site plan review; ' * a.series of interrelated human service programs complete with budget and action steps; * the ,application ,for federal and other governmental funds for the implementation of plans and programs such as the block grant activities of the Housing and Community Development Act of '1974; ' * action steps in the support of a -range of housing programs for -the Iowa City community; l�. 1 _ SECTION U ' RIUATIONSIIIPS WIT11 oTimR .JURISDICTIONS -In the process of plan development, interrelationships with other govern- ' mental and quasi -governmental jurisdictionsbecome necessary. This is especially true when programs and program.implications cross governmental boundaries or where activities of one jurisdiction inpinge upon concerns of a second jurisdiction such as channeling the growth and development of residential areas into a section where no school sites are in existence._ Another type of relationship is where there are agencies engaging in basically the same kinds of activities, such as the City's Planning Division ' andtheJohnson County Regional Planning Commission. This section deals basically with the relationships between the City and other governmental ' and quasi -governmental jurisdictions and agencies. 1. Johnson County Regional Planning Commission In that the .Johnson County Regional Planning Commission provides planning services for the metropolitan area and the regional area, the two planning agencies can support each other in furthering their work programs and goals. while the City's Department of Community Development Planning Division will provide the major thrust of planning activities, the Regional Planning Commission will play a ' - substantial -support role in providing umbrella regional and metro- as well as participating in more detailed planning politan planning that has direct relationship to the metropolitan and.regional`area. I., Specifically, studies accomplished in the past will be utilized as background information. 'These include the Johnson County Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan; the .Johnson County Water and Sewer Facilities Plan, background housing studies, the Area Transportation ' activities completed to date, the Governmental Space Needs Study currently underway, and other pertinent and relevant studies and ' documents that have been prepared in the past. The second phase of involvement will be in the preparation of support - studies and sub -elements of the various planninp,:proccsses. The first major activity will be with respect to the circulation systems, and, more importantly, the Area Transportation Study and the transit element of that study. ' 2. The University of Iowa In that the University of Iowa does notengagein substantial _compre- hensive planning activities in the preparation of a master campus -plan, the approach toward cooperation with University will take a slightly different format. The background information and studies that have been prepared by the University will be analyzed and used ' as input into the background studies. This information will include 1 _ 20. pertinent data and trends and forecasts associated with University ' enrollment, employment,_ facilities, and present and"planned activities. During the planning process, the University will`be included in the - series of meetings with respect to obtaining input andinformation. ' Also, because of the impact of the University on the community, close working relationships will be utilized during the plan development - phase in an attempt to coordinate closely City planning efforts with ' University activities. 3. Iowa City Community School District - ' The City Planning Staff will work closely with the Iowa City Community School District administration with respect to enrollment figures and. growth and development projections for the Iowa City area. The policies ' and directions utilized by the School District with respecttoenroll- ments, school district boundaries and future developments, will be closely coordinated within the planning process. The need for existing_ and future school facilities will be identified. - 4. University Heights ' In that the City of Iowa City supplies substantially all services to the City of University Heights and surrounds that 'City :on all sides,; the planning process for the City of Iowa City will include University ' Heights as part of the Iowa City area of consideration.- If in the future it would-be deemednecessaryand feasible, a separate plan could be developed specifically for University Heights. ' S. Coralville There are many areas of mutual concern between the City of Iowa City and the City of Coralville. These will be presented during the plan development phase and will be reviewed with representatives from the City of Coralville for their response andinput. 'Additionally,-,. ' representatives from Coralville will also have the opportunity to provide 'input '(luring the concentrated periods of citizen information and input. 6. Summar Part of the planning process will be the development of an inter- governmental relationship phase. This will show up in all three areas - of background studies,"poli cies; plan, and the plans and programs' development phase. The 'linkages _and cooperation necessary for effective ' implementation of the plans and programs that rely upon intergovernmental relationships will be delineated. - 21. 1 , SECTION E ' TIME SCHEDULE OFTHEPLANNING PROCESS nder- Chart N4 gives the sequencing and scheduling of activities to be under- taken-as part of the overall planning process. The chart also identifies taken as potential key community information and input points delineated earlier ' in this, study design..,- Because of the interrelationships among the three basic planning programs, ' and the sequencing necessary to achieve an orderly plan development process, it is expected that the overall development of plans will ,take approximately two and one-half years. The implementation phase will extend beyond this time 'period to -three -years and, in fact, will be a continuing phase to ' -carry out the basic intent of the plans and programs. After the adoption of the policies plan by ,the City Council, it would be appropriate for the Council to review on an ,annual basis the content of ' that plan with a view toward whether the policies that have been adopted ` are (1) realistic in nature, (2) have the desired affect intended, and (3) need to be changed or modified because of`changes through time. As ' changes _to -the policies planareadopted by Council, appropriate changes to the plans and programs should also be made. - It should be emphasized that this planning process is intended to first develop; and then play a major and continuing part inthemanagement and decision-making process of City government. The adopted policies and plan and the subsequent plans and programs will be valuable tools providing an understanding of many of the trade-offs and impacts of decisions that the Council will face. It will also be a method of measuring the effectiveness. and appropriateness of City.programs and actions. This aspect will have ' major impact in the development of both the annual budget when competing five- programs are considered and ,the annual review and development of the year Capital Improvements Program in considering which of many projects ' are to be programmed. It should not be forgotten that the policies and plans and programs will provide day-to-day.guidance`in the administration and management of City government. ' In that the initial planning process proposed ''by the study design will not be all inclusive, there will, be additional areas needing policy determination in the future. A continuing phase of the planning-process--- lanning processwould ' wouldbe to provide the appropriate background analysis and policy develop- ment for new areas to be added to the ;policies plan. There would also need to be development of appropriate plans and programs to carry out the ' newly developed policies. It is recommended that at five-year intervals, the entire planning program- ' be evaluated on the basis of effectiveness, content and appropriateness 1 , - k 22. of policies, plans and programs to meet the needs of the City ' community. This activity, while not being as extensive as the initial ; three-yearplanning' process,' would result in an approximately modified and updated policy plan and series of plans and programs for the - community. 1 " t CH3LRT1 4 -TI1%1E SCHEDULE 1975 1976- 1977 1978, PLANNING PROCESS A -S 0 N J F M A N1 J J A S 0 N D J F M A M J J A�S 0: N D 0 N D J F M A M J J STUDY -DESIGN 2.

FROM. Neal G. Berlin, City Manage r`��f RE: 'Financial Report r _ Enclosed is a memorandum from the former Director of Finance, -Mr. Joe Pugh, ! which reviews the financial report for the period ending June 30, 1975. While Mr. 'Pugh `inotes `the strong overall financial condition ofthe City, he also raises wzrning'signs for some conditions which are already with us and several others which are immediately around the corner. Some of the conditions are peculiar to Iowa City's situation; and others are a result of `national economic conditions. " The specific areas -of concern are: 1. The City's obligation to the employee payroll probably, will require a significant increase in revenue in FY 1977 and:in fact most of the expected increase in property tax revenue will be. absorbed in this one area. 2.` There has not been_a comprehensive -review of the salary program for employees in the upper' pay' grades for a` number' of years. It is becom- ing -increasingly difficult to recruit and_retain professional and admin- istrative personnel. 3. New programs adopted and/or existing programs expanded in the last couple of_ years -will require additional funding if the programs` are to continue. 4. There are requests for expanded and/or new services. 5. Inflationary pressures will tend to create an increase in operating --_- expenses. --6. Additional revenues provided -,in the last several years may decline and/ or not be available in future years. Large increases in revenues from other governmental' agencies are not anticipated. In ;addition, itis anticipated that the status of revenue sharing..will not be determined for the last half of the fiscal year before the tax levy decision is required. The alternatives offered by Mr. Pugh in the last part of his memorandum should be seriously evaluated as we approach budget discussions for FY 1977. Enclosure The purpose of this memorandum is torovide p you with a brief summary of fiofa_ - I view the overall financial condition of :the City of Iowa City to be at this writing.In preparing this report, -,I have reviewed the audited' financial;' report for the year ended June 30, 1975, and tax base projections for the': years out to 1979 that will later be used for. the development of -Capital - Improvement Program and estimation of operating budgets through-FY.1980: From an overall financial investment -standpoint, the City of Iowa City is remarkablystrong for a city this size which is the home of a major university. The municipal tax base continues a strong sustained growth that was begun in 1964, primarily as a result of the -rapid advance of the -valuation of residential property.- During the last ten years, the base has grown from " an assessed value -of just over 34 million dollars as of.January 1,. 1964, to. an assessed value of just over 115 million dollars as of January 1, 1975 (assessed value.= 27% of actual value). ,This is an increase of 3.5 times'< during that span, or 240X.- Our projections indicate that by December 1, 1979, the tax base will have grown an additional 30% beyond January 1, 1975," four percentage, points of which will be due to central business district redevelopment. This projection is based upon'a conservative estimate of long term trends, and does not reflect the ;straight -line projection of the large increases that have taken place in the tax base over, the last two or - three years. Although this substantial growth provides the underlying ' security for the City's excellent financial condition, it has resulted.in a dramatic shift of the tax burden to residential _property over that which existed in 1964.' This is a situation which will partially be alleviated by insuring that the most valuable land in the community located in and around the CBD be redeveloped to; its highest and best use. At the same time that the underlying tax base has continued a strong growth patterq, the City's general obligation bond debt has remained relatively low in proportion. At June 30,-1975,`only $5,053,000 in general' obligation bonds were outstanding, $1,525,000 of which is considered to be self— liquidating from water and sewer revenues. The debt limit at that date was $17,726,608,' resulting -in a margin available for additional issues of $12,673,608.. The ratios of outstanding debt- to, income per capita and assessed valuation per capita continues to improve. '-If sound management and administration of the organization continues, there is no question that the City will be able to retain a Aaa rating on its outstanding tax supported obligations. Last, but certainly not least among the strengths of the City's overall financial condition, is the fact that the City Council has.not found it necessary as yet to compel taxation beyond the 30 mill property tax limit11 , and has looked to all other available resource£ In order to szrpPa:t cam of municipal services. Doing so has not been without difficult decision— making, and has in fact resulted in the only -problem area which we see financially in the short term. During the last three fiscal years (including _ To: Neal Berlin : =a September 19, 1975 ` Page 2: FY 1976) all of the revenue sources that could be identified have beery allocated, and most of•the contingency working balances have likewise been used. Although` the amount of property, tax levied for. collection represent resources,-the growthin ot s only about 35Z of total ;her resources will not be nearly as great as the potential growth in the tax base in the forseeable'future. This conditio to bring about the; unusual situation of being'in a posif strong overall n combine3' tion o financial strength, while at thesametime suffering from limitations on resources r to support current operating expenditures. The resource-allocation problem is brought most clearly to mind when looking at current and potential service. considerations, and at the rising costs of personal :services. "Service organizations such as municipal government have a critical need for competent and well-trained people. In our; organization, personal service costs amount to over 70% of budget expenditures when pension and other benefit costs are considered. By far the biggest cause of the rise in operating`,costs during the past two fiscal years. has been the substantial increase In per service costs brought about by additions to the staff and increases in the compensation program. Current projections indicate that in FY 19771 new property, tax revenue in excess of $580,000 will be available at-the 30 mill level. :If a salary plan for that fiscal year is applied in the same manner as FY 1976, the additional costs could approach as much as $435,000,just in the General Fund. This is most significant. when you realize that the substantial increase in new property tax revenue in the next fiscal_year is brought about by a rather unusually large upward adjustment in assessed value, and in a normal year, a_$435,000 increase for personal services would be far more than the increase in property tax available, , to say nothing of increases in other available resources. - It is obvious if the City is to maintain a competitive compensation program consistentwith changing economic_ conditions, then limitations-will have to be placed on the addition of new personnel, or else a shifting of personnel allocations will have to take place consistent-with new program priorities.' If one were to look at the level of program service that the City has been performing for the .last few years, year-to-year increases in the cost of those programs could be identified by inflation- alone. However, in 'addition to those services, new projects already committed will increase the need for additional staff, in, such areas as maintenance of the, amenities in the Urba development n Renewal' area; improvement and of many of the new park areas-that- have been recently purchased; and mass 'transit expansion. In addition, the Council has .under consideration, more new programs which I presume will compete for available resources. These :demands are compounded by the fact that almost a full year's entitlement of revenue sharing has now been committed to the operating budget annually, and areplacement for the one-time use of the special $69,000 in state municipal assistance wied - during the next budget year. ll be requit In summary, it can be stated that the City is in an overall strong financial Position which shows no signs of erosion in the near future. However, resources -for financing current; operating expenditures are limited, and the-City Council and administrative staff will be required "to make some rather tough decisions`yiil regard tb to program` service levels soon: There.are some who say that additional Federal or State assistance will be available for financing operating expenditures for certain', services and this will permit both a:property tax reduction and an expansion of new programs. Both of these-conditions are not possible at the same To: Neal Berlin September 19, 1975 Page 3 time, nor is it realistic to assume that Iowa Citians would be happy with the conditions imposed for such assistance. This is not to say that the present= system offinancinglocal government in Iowa is ideal and many improvements would be desirable ;However, we have to contend with the conditions that we -can control and be happy that we have a strong financial base to back us up. -Some alternatives that should be considered might be identified as follows: 1. A decision could be made to defer all of those capital construction projects that will not produce economies in operations, or that would be self-liquidating from revenues generated -from the project, or that' would substantially increase current operating expenses for new services. - These decisions should involve equipment purchases as well as major capital projects. 2." New controls could be placed'on existing service levels and 'cost/benefit_ and cost/effectiveness techniques could be'applied `to requests for new programs and service level increases. This alternative may very well result in the expansion of only new essentialpublic services,• and/or the elimination of services no longer in keeping with current priorities. 3.- A cost effective approach to. administrative management could be imple- mented throughout all departments of the City organization.' I would recommend that new techniques such as zero based budgeting be at least investigated andthatmechanisms`be established for evaluating cost/effec- tiveness from the City Managers office on down. 4. The City could consider the transfer of certain responsibilities for current services to other agencies, and at the same time 5Lvoid expansion into new service areas that could be best provided by some other agency. 5. Increasing the charges for services on the basis of user benefits. h B,p gh, r.

"amount received during this past year. As,you can see by the following -chart, the City of Iowa City in FY 1976 will receive $2,892,150 from its -30 mill statutory limitation. A freeze to this dollar amount would effec- tively reduce the City's property tax revenue by $585,090.' Assuming that we could not receive tax monies in excess of the $2.9 million, this would effectively_ reduce the statutory tax levy of 30 mills to 24.9 mills. Date $ Value of 1 Mill Millage Amount 1-1-74 $ 96,405 30 $2,892,150 1-1-75 115,908 30 3,477,240 Net Difference $ 585,090 The severity of thisactionbecomes apparent when you review the receipt and expenditure information of the City budget. From the receipts -:stand- point the following items will also have a significant impact on the City's revenue generation capacity. 1. , The possible termination of General Revenue Sharing.' 2. Failure to extend the special allocation of State Municipal Assistance Funds. 3. The questionable availability of any Title XX funding. The first of these items, the General Revenue Sharing program termination, causes great difficulties since the City of Iowa City, as noted on page 88 - of the FY 1976 budget,' has committed over $532,790 in revenue sharing to strictly operation and maintenance within the General Fund. In addition " `to this, there has been an:amotmt of;$48,833-allocated as an additional funding source for the Transit System, as is referenced in the July 30, 1975, Financial Information Stpw aryrmemo. `This commitment of $581,623 probably cannot be sustained into the FY 1977, budget, because of the possibility of the program's termination and questionable reinstatement. City Council - 4 November 1975 Page 2 The City Council has indicated in the current Federal Revenue Sharing allocation that $245,000 will beutilizedduring the FY -1977 period. If the City is to continue to fund the operation and Maintenance areas as it has.in FY 1976, this means there is effectively a shortfall of some $336,623. .(ti Vii, .•; 3) This same is reflected in the one-time allocation by the State of the $69,229 in Municipal Assistance Funds. The City.. Council has committed $29,229 of this one-time allocation.to the Mass Transit, System and reserved $35,000 for a one-time allocation to the Tornado Warning System.: Since the State has indicated it will not make -a special Mmicipal Assistance dis- tribution in FY 1977, we are again faced with the shortfall within the - operation area of some $30,000. ,-_n The third item, that of the Title XX funding, involves the Council's commitment to -the SPI Program., Title XX fundings, which were originally, scheduled to_ support ,the program, are not available. Since these funds are not available and it is questionable whether they will be next year, the funding of this program will have to be maintained` within the General Fund taxing limit if theprogramis to be maintained. The shortfall over the FY 1976 Budget will be approximately $25,000. Generally speaking, the City of Iowa City has a number of expenditure com- mitments which can be predicted for next year which may or may not be adequately -funded if a tax base -freeze is applied. Two of these which deservementionhere are: (1) the anticipated salary increases due to merit and cost of living requirements, and (2) a general -estimate of infla- tion upon commodity purchases. (1) The first of these, the salaryincreases expected with the City, is caused by-basically.two factors, the first of which is the - projected 8.5% increase mandated by the labor contract requirements for the cost of living increases, and secondly, the, normal anti- cipated 5% increase for employees due to merit. These two items together should result in an approximate 131 increase in the salary expense of the City, or approximately $443,224. It should be noted that these factors _do not include:any'additional increase which mayaccruefrom labor negotiations. - (2) The inflation factor for general disciusion purposes, could be estimated at approximately $227,171. This amount'is obtained by takingthe expenditure estimate for commodities, services and charges, and capital outlay' equipment from page A-7 of the FY 1976 budget times the estimated -inflation factorof10%. Table II reflectsa brief summary of the above information. The items noted reflect dollars required within the General Fund to maintain current operation and maintenance levels. For purposes of discussion, and with the assumptions noted in the narrative above, you can see the City of Iowa City: could anticipate an additional funding requirement in FY 1977 of $1,091,247: within the General Fund. 16AI • - r 6w .
