Lake Recreation Area CAT Application Dear Mr. Lombardo: This letter is to serve as follow up to the discussion regarding the Sand Labe Recreation Area Community Attraction and Tourism (CAT) Application during the most recent Vision Iowa Board meeting. During this meeting, it was explained that city funding for the project has been moved back and will span through fiscal year 2013. Historically, the Vision Iowa Board has preferred to invest in projects as the last dollar in to allow for projects to begin construction as soon as feasibly possible. The CAT Grant Agreement allows for two years to complete the project once an award is made. By structuring the project construction to span several years, it will be difficult for the Vision. Iowa Board to financially assist this project within the program framework that has been established. There are a number of options that could remedy this situation. First,. this project could be split into phases, with the first phase including work scheduled to be completed over the next two years. Likewise, the current application could be withdrawn and a future application submitted proposing a later phase of the project. And finally, the financing and project plans could be adjusted to a timeframe that is more closely matched with that of the CAT Grant Agreement. If possible, please address this and explain how you plan to proceed at the next Vision Iowa Board meeting scheduled for Wednesday, March. 11, 2009. Thank you for your work on this project. Please contact me or Alaina Santizo, Vision Iowa Program Manager, at 515.242.4827 or alaitla santizo[~iowalifechan~in~.com if you. have any questions.

The 10-year Strategic Facilities Improvement Plan (SFIP) outlines the intentions of the School District regarding repair and renovation of current schools and construction of new schools. My biggest concern with the Plan is its potential impact on our older neighborhoods. Recent discussions about the SFIP have focused on the closing of Roosevelt Elementary and the building of a replacement school at the Crossings-a new subdivision on Kennedy Parkway. Ten-year plans for schools in other older neighborhoods-Twain, Longfellow, and Mann-are unclear. Currently, there is nothing in the SFIP addressing maintenance and improvement of these three schools during the next five years. Many residents are concerned that it is the District's intention to close these schools and redistrict the students. This would have a devastating effect on these neighborhoods and the City's goals to encourage reinvestment in residential properties in the Central District and to achieve a healthy balance of rental and owner-occupied housing in the district's older neighborhoods. Let's discuss this matter at the February 23 work session. I believe that we should draft a letter to communicate the City Council's concerns about the School District's SFIP to the Iowa City Community School Board. Summary Proposed Strategic Facilities Improvement Plan 2009-2014 Iowa City Community School District r ~~ ~i ilia,, ~~~a Ic~~{~a t'it~ C'c~mtti~:anit~~ 5ehc~c~l llstrc~t Introduction Planning the long-range future of our school buildings is challenging, but such planning is essential to ensure that our facilities support optimum student learning. The proposed Strategic Facilities Improvement Plan (link to web) is a management tool for planning capital improvement projects for aten-year period. The plan provides a blueprint for efficiently addressing future facilities needs, establishing priorities for the orderly completion of projects and matching priorities with available funding. The Board of Directors recognizes that effective schools are more than bricks and mortar; they are dynamic learning environments. Consequently, the plan outlined here is designed to provide facilities that are safe, support high quality instruction, assist teachers to challenge students with a rigorous curriculum, and ensure equal educational opportunities for all district students well into the future. To establish priorities among the facilities projects, the Board has relied upon comprehensive facilities studies performed by The Durant Group and Shive-Hattery along with input from district staff. The proposed plan outlines both short- and long-range (ten- year) building projects costing $50,000 or more and estimates capital improvement expenditures yearly over afive-year period. The Board intends to keep the plan flexible and to update it at least annually in response to changing district circumstances. The plan will allow the Board of Directors to approve major projects within a comprehensive framework of long-term district needs. The plan speaks to the need for completing high- priority projects, reducing the backlog of deferred maintenance and repairs, and keeping pace with student enrollment growth. A major goal of the plan is to increase educational equity. Very simply, it shouldn't matter which school a child attends. Every classroom in our district should be an inviting learning environment that is functional and efficient. Socio-economic and racial balance are critical to educational equity. Research shows, without doubt, that concentrated poverty and ethnicity make it more difficult to reduce and eliminate achievement gaps. These factors will play an important role in determining district facility decisions. 2 Of utmost importance to the Board of Directors is that district schools reflect the values of the community and address the needs of the students. The Board will not take any of the proposed significant action steps identified in the plan without community input. The public will be engaged, periodically, in the planning process through public forums and board meetings on specific priorities and plans. The proposed Strategic Facilities Improvement Plan includes the following features: 1. Emerging issues affecting district facilities 2. Categories of capital projects a. New facilities and additions to existing facilities b. Remodeling of existing facilities c. Land for new facilities d. Mechanical systems, roofs, and other large maintenance needs e. Engineering and architectural design needs 3. Priorities and guiding principals used for planning 4. Analysis of individual schools-current status, enrollment projections, proposed capital projects and issues 5. Proposed projects for the next ten years and focusing on projects in phases (identifying projects for the first five years and selecting those with the highest priority for the first two years) 6. Tools used to manage enrollment that use existing space 7. Revenue estimates and proposed expenditures 8. Steps in the planning process 9. Links to data the district used in the planning process such as enrollment and facility studies 10. Links to facility assessment reports completed by independent consultants 3 Summary 2009-2014 Proposed Capital Projects The Strategic Facilities Improvement Plan (SFIP) is a management tool the Board of Directors has used for planning capital improvement projects, costing $50,000 or more. The Board believes the district needs to undertake these projects to (1) reduce the backlog of deferred maintenance and repairs, and (2) upgrade existing buildings, both to increase educational equity and to keep pace with growth-all to the end of supporting the educational mission of the district. This summary outlines the proposed capital improvement projects and initiatives for the first five years of the plan. Elementary School Proposal Projects within the first five years of the plan address the following emerging issues at the elementary level: 1. Elementary enrollment increased 670 students over the last five years and is projected to increase by 650 to 1000 students over the next five years. 2. Penn, Van Allen, Roosevelt and Weber attendance areas are overcrowded. They are over capacity by almost 275 students and are projected to be 670 students over capacity in five years. 3. Roosevelt is one of the three oldest schools in the district and has significant repair and maintenance needs. The Shive-Hattery Facility Assessment identified over $900,000 in repairs and upgrades. Roosevelt is overcrowded and currently uses six portable classrooms. It has the fewest square feet per student in the district, along with Penn and Weber. The facility does not meet district standards for educational equity. Its utility and custodial costs are higher than newer schools' operating costs and it contains barriers to handicap accessibility. Finally, it is one of the schools identified by the Iowa Department of Education as having a racially and socio- economically isolated enrollment pattern. The estimate for repairing and adding on to Roosevelt is $5.1 million compared to the cost of $11.5 million for a new elementary school. The option of repairing/adding on to Roosevelt does not address the educational equities or its isolated racial and socio-economic enrollment pattern. The site topography limits options for new construction on the Roosevelt site. 4. The Crossings is a 400 acre residential development located in the Weber attendance area between Melrose Avenue and Highway 6 on the west boundary of the district with almost three quarters of the potential residential development located in the Iowa City Community School District. It will significantly affect elementary enrollment on the West side of the district. Currently students in The Crossings are 4 assigned to Horn because Weber does not have capacity. Weber will also experience growth from three other residential developments. In response to these issues the district is planning a new elementary school. Garner Elementary will open in 2010-1i in North Liberty and will relieve overcrowding at Van Allen and Penn through 2012-13. The Board anticipates that an addition to Penn will be necessary and would include three regular education classrooms, two special education classrooms, three small group instructional areas and the remodeling of a classroom adjacent to the library to allow for expansion to meet the district size library standards. As a comprehensive approach to addressing issues at Roosevelt and overcrowding at Weber, the plan proposes constructing a new Roosevelt at The Crossings on a site currently owned by the district. The current Roosevelt could be used for other purposes or sold as ar asset. An addition to Horn would increase its capacity from 280 to 400 students, which would allow the reassigning of some Roosevelt students to Horn. It would increase efficiency associated with moderately sized elementary schools of 300-500 students. Some students could be reassigned from Kirkwood and Weber to the new Roosevelt in order to reduce over-crowding. The reassignment of students from Kirkwood would balance socio- economic and ethnic diversity between the new Roosevelt and Kirkwood. Junior High Proposal The first SILO project, completed in December 2008, was the addition to South East Junior High of four classrooms, a new gym and multi-purpose fitness/wrestling room and the remodeling of science classrooms. The proposed Strategic Facilities Improvement Plan focuses on repairs and upgrades to South East and Northwest junior highs over the next five years. A twelve-classroom addition is proposed for North Central by the 2012-13 school year. Enrollment is projected to range from 400-450 students over the next three years and to reach over 500 students in 2012-13. The building was constructed to serve 450 students, and its core facilities were built to support additions that would serve up to 600 students. The addition will support special education programs for students with mental disabilities as well. Hi4h Schools High school enrollment is projected to fall within total district capacity through 2011-12 but will not match available space. City High enrollment is projected to be 1450 students in 2012-13 and under its capacity of 1600 students. West High enrollment is 5 projected to be over 2100 students and over its capacity of 1800 students by 2012-13. It will first exceed its capacity in 2010-11 with 1850 students. Yet, City and West enrollment decreased 133 students in 2008-09; the current 3137 student enrollment is less than the 3193 student enrollment in 2005-06. The Board of Directors intended for the current ICCSD high school enrollment policy to be a short term plan for managing enrollment between City and West--using available capacity at City High, stabilizing enrollment at City High, and reducing overcrowding at West High. The current high school enrollment policy assigns new students to the district in grades eleven and twelve to City High. The Board of Directors and community must engage in a candid discussion of updated high school enrollments and capacity and develop a long range high school enrollment plan prior to a major construction initiative. Enrollment projections do not show a need for a third comprehensive high school in the next five years. However, the high school enrollment policy may not be appropriate for five or more years. Therefore, the Board and community must discuss relevant information such as West High exceeding capacity by 2010-11 while capacity exists at City High, even with the current high school enrollment policy. Discussion must include what enrollment difference the community is willing to accept between the two high schools and what the maximum enrollment size at either high school should be. Boundary changes and construction options at the existing high schools should be discussed. The Board and community must take on the fiscal realities of construction costs. The Board is setting aside $3.2 million per year over ten years from SILO for high school facilities, as promised in the SILO campaign. The $32 million could be used to construct a third comprehensive high school for 600-800 students. Operating costs per year of a third comprehensive high school are estimated to be over $2 million for staff and $1 million for utilities and maintenance, based upon a report of a 1000-student high school that opened within 250 miles of Iowa City. SILO funds cannot be used for operating costs. The Board and community would also need to consider what affect a reduced number of course offerings, typical of smaller high schools, would have on educational opportunities for students and the overall quality of education. 6 Facilities Repairs and Up4rades The Durrant Group and Shive-Hattery reports identify the updating of mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems and the addressing of life safety and code issues as primary priorities for existing district buildings. Sources of Revenue In February 2007, voters in the Iowa City Community School District passed a 10-year 1 School Infrastructure Local Option (SILO) sales tax. In 2008, the Iowa Legislature and governor raised the statewide sales tax to 6%, through 2029, for school infrastructure. ICCSD could extend the 1% SILO sales tax through 2029 with voter approval of a revenue purpose statement. ICCSD will receive an estimated $100 million in additional revenue over ten years from the SILO. The extension of the SILO through the statewide 1% sales tax and voter approval of a revenue statement would generate an additional $78 million in revenue through 2029. Revenue is available for capital projects from the Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) as well as from SILO. The Board of Directors must monitor the revenue to make sure there are sufficient funds for the projects identified in the proposed SFIP. The Board will review the revenues and proposed expenditures annually. For planning purposes, revenue is projected to remain constant for SILO and PPEL. The estimates in the proposed SFIP serve only for planning purposes. The Durrant Group Report provided low and high estimates for each project. The estimates for this plan were based upon high estimates from The Durrant Group Report and from district expenditures on similar projects completed recently. These estimates were increased by an inflation factor of 5% each year. When deciding whether to proceed with a specific project, the Board of Directors will solicit updated estimates one year before the project is to begin. The costs estimates will change based upon the final scope of the project, final design specifications, construction inflation, fluctuations in materials costs, and economic conditions at the time of bidding. 7 Summary of Estimated Costs for Proposed Projects: 2009-2014 The proposed Strategic Facilities Improvement Plan calls for expenditures of $ 51 million to complete major capital projects during the first five years.

The total amount distributed is $300,918, after this week the total distributed will be near $400,000. o An additional 37 households will be assisted with recently allocated $823,435 in Jumpstart State # 2 funds o Staff is working with landlords with the CDBG funded rental rehabilitation program. The State will release the funds after February 20. o Nearly $200,000 in Jumpstart CDBG funds have been distributed to 13 households o The City will receive an additional allocation of $1,029,000 in Jumpstart CDBG funds in the next few weeks for housing repair/rehabilitation, interim mortgage assistance and downpayment assistance. o Staff commented on the IDED Action Plan for the use of the second allocation of CDBG funds that were set aside for housing buyouts. The Action Plan specified that the funds could be used for buyouts of properties that were condemned or likely to be condemned as' a result of the flood. Staff proposed that the language state that the funds could be used for properties that were condemned or likely to be condemned or have experienced very significant damages of at least 70% of the value of the home. This would offer the City an opportunity to work with homeowners that did not qualify for the HMGP funds, but are still interested in a buyout. o Staff mailed letters to nearly 200 contractors in the Iowa City area to make them aware of the CDBG funded lead-based paint hazard and abatement training opportunities offered by the Iowa Department of Economic Development (IDED). The Iowa City area needs more lead-paint certified contractors for flood recovery projects and for the City's regular CDBG and HOME funded projects. o Staff attended the IDED sponsored "Iowa Housing Working Session" in Coralville on February 18 & 19. This was a working session for staff from flood affected communities, IDED, Iowa Finance Authority and the Rebuild Iowa Office to come together to discuss program issues and problem areas with the procedures & policies of the housing disaster assistance and to develop a plan to make the process more efficient.

This public health issue affects everyone and weighs down the reputation of the entire city. Here in Johnson County our homeless population is 1.1 % per capita, but that is 6% of the entire state's homeless population. This applies not only with veterans and the people you see downtown, but with students in the Iowa City Community School District. In the past year there has been a 27% increase of homeless students. With the state of the economy as it is and the lack of help homelessness will only increase. Many people are doing what they can to help stop this problem but we need help. The most well known community shelter in the Iowa City area is The Shelter House on 331. N. 2/19/2009 Page 2 of 2 Gilbert St. They are able to hold 29 people overnight but even with this they are strained for space. Everyday they turn down people who are in severe need of housing and shelter. At this time they are trying to build a new bigger shelter on Southgate Ave. but they need more funding. They are getting a lot of private donations and setting up money drives but it is still not enough. The Shelter House at this time receives a small amount of funding from the City Counsel but without this new shelter they can't do provide as much help that is needed to help stop this increase of homelessness. The problem of homelessness is a city problem that affects everyone in this community so in the interest of the city I believe that they should recieve more funding from the Iowa City Council. With funding from the city counsil this new shelter can be built to help the community with the public health issue of homelessness.

Thank you, Clay 2/19/2009 IP9 IOWA CITY TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION DRAFT MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 2008--5:30 P.M. CITY CABLE TV OFFICE, 10 S. LINK ST.-TOWER PLACE PARKING FACILITY MEMBERS PRESENT: Saul Mekies, Hans Hoerschelman, Robert Kemp, Brett Gordon MEMBERS ABSENT: Gary Hagen STAFF PRESENT: Mike Brau, Bob Hardy, Dale Helling OTHERS PRESENT: Beth Fisher, Lee Grassley, Susan Rogusky, Michael McBride RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL None at this time. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION Grassley reported that Mediacom has been making changes in the channel lineup. 30 high definition channels will be added by the end of the year. The digital transmission of broadcasters may be pushed back to June. Grassley said the test done during the presidential inauguration address was required by the FCC and planned far in advance. Once the test is scheduled within a certain time frame it has to be performed. Kemp noted the press release from Mediacom apologizing for the test. Rogusky reported SCTV's web streaming Internet site with the University has not been updated in some time and it is unsure if the University will continue to stream SCTV programs. SCTV has started uploading programs to a new website: icsctvtest.blogspot.com. Mekies said that the Commission had expressed concern at the last meeting regarding channel representation at Commission meetings and that many of the programs being run on the channel are repeats of programs several years old. The channel appears to be sliding back to where it was prior to the past year's improvements. Hardy said he will draft a letter addressing the Commission's concern that the school channel will not continue the level of programming achieved over the last year and with the lack of representation a Commission meetings. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Mekies moved and Kemp seconded a motion to approve the December 15, 2008 minutes. The minutes were unanimously approved. ANNOUNCEMENTS OF COMMISSIONERS Mekies distributed an article on Internet speeds and asked Mediacom to comment on their speeds relative to other countries. SHORT PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS None. MEDIACOM REPORT Grassley reported Mediacom has been busy negotiating with broadcasters for rights to digital transmissions in preparation for the switch to all digital broadcasting. Mediacom has contracted with a company in the Philippines to handle call center overflow during the 3`d shift. Thirty percent of the employees are college educated and all must have passed an English proficiency test. So far it has worked out well. The contract will be evaluated in 6 months. Changes in the channel lineup are continuing and its likely that 30 high definition channels will be added by the end of the year. The digital transmission of broadcasters may be pushed back to June. There have been problems with the federal program to subsidize the cost of converter boxes. Any change in the February 17 date for digital transition would take legislation. Mediacom's flood relief event in association with the University of Iowa raised about $200,000. In response to a question from Mekies about Internet speeds Grassley said in many countries the government has subsidized the infrastructure. Often the service is not universally available and is very expensive. Mediacom offers a service of up to 20 megabytes. Subscriber results from specific web sites will often be slower than the 100 megabytes the fastest systems now offer. Mediacom is currently testing DOCSIS 3.0 in Des Moines, which is providing about 105 megabytes. The service is synchronous, which allows the same speed for uploads as downloads. Mekies asked how Mediacom compares to other cable providers and technologies around the country. Grassley said Mediacom's systems are hybrid fiber coax, as are most cable operators. ATT and Verizon are building fiber to the home. As bandwidth demand increases, Mediacom decreases the number of households per node. Currently the Iowa City system has 71 nodes. Two years ago there were about 32 nodes. Bandwidth use monitoring capability has been enhanced in that time period as well. Comcast and Verizon offer DOCSIS 3.0 and subscription rates are less than 3%. Mekies asked about subscriber complaints about slow Internet speeds and asked if they were due to system congestion during peak times. Grassley said he was unaware of concerns about bandwidth speed and said if there were specific areas of with problems, Mediacom will look at it. Fisher Hoerschelman, and Hardy noted problems on certain channels. Grassley said he will look into it and said Mediacom is still feeling the effects of the flood. The problems with pixilation should be totally resolved in 2012 when Mediacom's transmission is 100 per cent digital. Grassley said the test done during the presidential inauguration address was required by the FCC and planned far in advance. Once the test is scheduled it has to be performed. Kemp noted the press release from Mediacom apologizing for the test. Hoerschelman asked if Mediacom has a system to track consumer complaints. Grassley said there is an internal system. Once a complaint reaches a certain number in from a localized area it is treated as an outage. Hoerschelman asked if there is any way to inform the public of outages other than a subscriber calling Mediacom. Grassley said he believes that there is a place on the main Mediacom website where subscribers could check. He will look into it. Hoerschelman said City resources such as InfoVision could be used. Hoerschelman asked if Grassley sees a time when Mediacom will guarantee a certain level of Internet speed on other than the business tier. Grassley said that is unlikely. There may be a point when a minimum could be guaranteed. Mekies said that since Mediacom is looking to get a standardized channel lineup nationwide that it would make sense to group channels by content. For example, all channels geared towards children could be adjacent. CONSUMER ISSUES Hardy referred to the complaint report in the meeting packet and said one additional complaint regarding the high cost of Internet service. Hardy will establish a mechanism for access channels to contact the proper Mediacom personnel in the event their signal needs attention. UNIVERSITY OF IOWA REPORT McBride noted that the University channel's annual report was included in the meeting packet. The flood was a minor disruption. Mediacom staff were exceptional in their efforts to get back on the air. KIRKWOOD COMMUNITY COLLEGE O'Brien provided a written report. PATV REPORT No representative was present. SENIOR CENTER REPORT Rogusky reported SCTV's web streaming Internet site with the University has not been updated in some time and it is unsure if the University will continue to stream SCTV programs. SCTV has started uploading programs to a new website: icsctvtest.blogspot.com. Anew episodes of the Spanish-speaking and the "Friends and Neighbors" programs have been shot. LIBRARY CHANNEL REPORT Fisher distributed the channel's quarterly report. Anew intern has been hired. Some equipment changes have been made in the control room that should be more reliable. IOWA CITY COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT REPORT Lowe provided a written report. Mekies said that the Commission had expressed concern at the last meeting regarding channel representation at Commission meetings and that many of the programs being run on the channel are repeats of programs several years old. The channel appears to be sliding back to where it was prior to the past year's improvements. Hardy distributed a table of new programs cablecast by the school channel over the past year. Mekies asked if it is known when those program's events took place. Brau said he does not have that information. The chart indicates new programs cablecast each month and whether that program came from the city of Coralville or PATV. Mekies said it would be useful to know the time between the event and when it is first cablecast. Mekies said that events that had been taped several years ago are currently being replayed and expressed a concern that current events are not being taped. This will have implications for programming in the future. Hardy noted that PATV is producing a number of programs for the school channel. Gordon said PATV should serve as a resource for training students and staff, but relying on PATV staff for producing programs is questionable. Hardy said he will draft a letter addressing the Commission's concern that the school channel will not continue reaching the level of programming achieved over the last year and with the lack of representation a Commission meetings. Mekies noted that in the school channel written report that Lowe indicated that they will not be providing a quarterly report. Hoerschelman said that Hardy's letter should also state that the Commission requests that quarterly reports be provided. CITY CHANNEL REPORT Hardy reported that the Community Television Service has finished programs on lessons learned from the flood, the Emma Goldman Choice Dinner, an agribusiness bioscience event, and a the Friends of Historic Preservation Awards presentation. Upcoming shoots are planned for the AARP, the National Alliance of the Mental Ill, the legislative forums, and an informational programs for the City on how to pay parking tickets, pay bills online and other things. The next Community Voice will be shot on Friday. Hardy said he will investigate how to facilitate information regarding the numerous channel changes that are occurring. Hardy said he received a comment that some of the Filippino call center staff did have a bit of a language barrier. The City finance department has a proposal to change how enterprise funds are assessed for services provided. The proposal also includes no longer subsidizing the general fund with franchise fees. Helling said the subsidizes will be phased out over several years. The end result will be about $70,000 of the $100,000 eventually being returned to the Cable TV Division. ACCESS CHANNELS AND THE DIGITAL TRANSITION Grassley said he has forwarded the questions submitted by Brau regarding Mediacom's proposal to move the access channels to the digital tier to other Mediacom officials. Mediacom would like to hold another meeting in the first two weeks of February. Hardy said he will try to get a meeting of the Community Television Group to discuss this and other issues. He has discussed the issue with access channel representatives individually. PATV CONTRACT Hardy said that the City received a response from PATV with a request for a couple of minor issues. Hoerschelman offered to work with City staff on the contract. Hardy said he is in the process of looking at issues and sending question to PATV. Hardy said he and Goding have discussed some of the questions he will be sending to PATV. TRIENNIAL REVIEW Hardy said he has had some brief discussions with Grassley and will be sending him another set of questions. Hardy said he will be emailing the service and programming committee members some questions the Triennial Review will address. ADJOURNMENT Kemp moved and Mekies seconded a motion to adjourn. The motion passed unanimously.
