He felt that the medianiincome;figure was askewed by extremes at the top and the bottom of the, income range. Blum also expressed a belief that the than can penetration factorsaremuch higher be expected; therefore, {the end result, figures are not realistic.

MINUTES Iowa City Charter Committee • June 5,'1973 MEMBERS PRESENT: Meardon, Cain, DeCounter,'Baldus, Corrigan, Ringgenberg,,Knight MEMBERS ABSENT: Welt, Davidsen STAFF PRESENT: Rosenstein Chaiman Meardon called the meetin g to order at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Meardon stated that he discussed with the City Council the process*ok submitting the Charter and requested a meeting; between the City Council and the Charter Committee for''the presentation. He; stated, that he made it clear that the purpose of the meeting was not to negotiate on the Charter, but, rather to discuss back and forth the thinking that went into the proposal. Mr. 'Meardon 'stated that the meeting, was scheduled for 4:00 p.m. Wednesday,, June 13, 1973 and, that the Charter Committee should meet', today and tomorrow to finalize the Charter, and then ,present 'it to Council so they, can review it in detail before the June 13 meeting. He further stated. that the Committee should present a copy to the City Attorney to see if he felt there'were,any legal 'problems lwith the Charter. Mr. Meardon continued, stating that after the meeting with the City Council the Committee should formally present the Charter to Council. Mr. Meardon concluded that he has discussed with the City; Council Chapter 49.11 of the Code of Iowa which provides that when precincts ,are changed 'there must be three 'weeks of publication and then a thirty day period before the election, but that,.this_did not'have anything to, do with the Charter Committee because if the Committee finishes the Charter and submits it, to the City Council, it then becomes City Council's; choice as to when the Charter is submitted to the voters. Mr. Bal'dus stated that the Committee would not be able to get- the legal opinion from Mr. Martineau until Monday, June 11 1973 and that the Charter should not be 'submitted to the City Council before that time. Mr.' Baldus continued that he did not ywant sto get' another 'legal,opinion on the 'Charter before the Charter consultant's . opinion, was in. Mr. Meardon stated that; it would not be fair, to the City Council to have them come to the meeting without having been able to study ',the Charter. Mr. Meardon stated that he has talked"with ,the City Attorney several 'times and there have been no legal objections voiced yet." Mr. Meardon stated that it was important to get something to Council il,as soon asP ossible. I page 2 Charter, Minutes June 5, 1973 •Mr. ,Ringgenberg'stated that at theCitizens for a Better Iowa City meeting the group expressed concern about initiative and referendum. Mr.`Meardon responded that a lot of the concern -about the processes was because people 'do not understandthem. Mrs.` Cain' stated she has talked with people who were.concerned about.the processes who understand' them. The Committee next went over ':the draft of the Charter in detail making numerous minor changes. Mr. Corrigan moved that the phase "and chief executive officer" be removed from the section on the Mayor. Mrs.' Cain 'seconded and the ''Committee agreed to the change. The Committee agreedlthat it would not be necessary: to 'list the powers ofsthe 'Mayor protem because they would be the :same as the Mayor's when the Mayor is absent. Mrs. Cain 'moved 'to delete Section 4.03 which provided methods of appointing theracting City Manager.:, Mr.'Ringgenberg',seconded and; the motion carried six for..and two against with "Mea Meardonand Knight voting against. Mr.'Baldus moved that Section 4.03, Absence; disability,of City Manager read, "to perform his or her duties during a,temporary .absence or disability, the City Manager may designate a qualified City employee as :acting City Manager. If t-he`'„City Manager fails to make such designation, the Council may appoint a qualified City employee,to perform the duties of the City Manager until he or she returns.” Mr. Ringgenberg seconded and'Ithe motion carried'six for and two against'w,ith Meardon and Knight voting g against.' Discussion was next held on the Article on 'initiative and referendum. Mrs;. Cain stated that the declaration of 'power should say that the qualified voters.have the process of initiative'and referendum since they are the ones who will be voting on the questions. Mrs. Cain moved to eliminate the allowance of initiative that repeals ordinances. Mr.' Ringgenberg'seconded. Mrs. Cain stated that if the Committee wanted negative'initiative; it should just remove 'the ,time limit on when a referendum petition could be filed, thus adhering to the traditional legal interpretation that' initiative is'a positive'' •' proposal and referendum is a proposal to repeal. Mr. Baldus stated that part of the concept of ',referendum was that it was a prompt 'vote on the subject. He further stated that allowing initiative to repeal eliminates litigation on whether a substitute law is 'a repealing law. Mr. Meardon stated 'that removing initiative that repeals an ordinance would kill the use of initiative because it would be unusual page 3 Charter Minutes June 5, 1973 to have an initiative which does not in effect repeal something. • Mr. Baldus stated that'he would accept the idea of not having an initiative with the purpose to repeal an 'ordinance if the time limit on referendum was removed and if there coul& be.a referendum on a: whole or a part of anlordinance. The question was called and the motion passed,four for 'and 'three againstwith Cain,' Corrigan, Ringgenberg, and Baldus voting for, and Knight, Meardon, and DeCounter'voting against. The Committee agreed to drop, the limit for filing a - referendum petition and to allow referendum to seek repeal of an ordinance in whole or:in part. Discussion was Next held on what could be subject to initiative and referendum. Mr. Corrigan stated that if;,zoning was allowed to be subject to referendum much of the Charter's:support.would be lost. Mr. Baldus stated that zoning law traditionally has.been allowed as a subject for referendum. Mr. 'Baldus further stated ;that if a.Council can't sell its positions to the public and gain support for ',them, then the; Council should re=evaluate their decisions. 'Mr. Baldus moved that the, following definition of,what' is subject to initiative and referendum be adopted. "Within thislarticle, 'ordinance' means all measures of.a legislative nature, however 'designated, which (a) are of a permanent rather than temporary character and (b),include 'a proposition enacting,`,amending,.or repealing a new or existing law, policy or plan, ;as opposed to one providing for the execution of a ',law,, policy or plan already enacted by,Council." .Mr. Corrigan seconded. Mr. Rosenstein stated 'that :this was an extremely broad definition, especially with the inclusion of the word "amending." He stated that this would make a project subject to numerous referendums because most projects arer,amended many times. 1Mr. Baldus stated' that nothing in the Charter except for initiative and referendum deals with the responsiveness of government.'' The question was called and the motion carried five for,: none against and two',abstaining,' Knight and Ringgenberg. Mrs. Cain moved 'that'Section 8.02, Charter Review Commission read that _ the Council may's,ubmit recommended amendments of the Charter Review Commission'to.the voters, rather than, requiring ,the Council'' to submit" them.Mr.'DeCounter seconded, Mr. 'Rosenstein 'stated 'that it was important to periodically review a. Charter' because traditionally..', Charters are amended in a piecemeal fashion. Mr'. Baldus stated that a Charter Review Commission, should, be legally independent' from Council.. The question was called and the motion was defeated one for and ,five against, with Mrs. Cain voting for and Mr. Corrigan being absent. MINUTES IOWA CITY CHARTER COMMITTEE JUNE 7, ,1973 MP.MBERS PRESENT: Meardon, Baldus, Knight, Ringgenberg, DCCounter., Cain. MEMBERS ABSENT:Corrigan', Davidsen, Welt STAFF PRESENT: Rosenstein!- 'The Committee went through Article VII, Initiative and Referendum in detail making the necessary grammatical chances. Discussion was held on whether to prohibit a Council from passing an ordinance after it is repealed by a referendum election. Presently the Charter prohibits ,the Council from doing so for two years after defeat of the ordinance. Mrs. Cainlstated.that 'this prohibition should not be in the Charter,, because a Council may be forward thinking and this provision could hinder progressive action by, the City. She further stated that poIitically',it'would be ''difficult for a Council to ignore '.the negative outcome of a'referendum,'but if the 'Council feels strongly enough about an issue and wants,to take the risks of passing it again, they should'have this option. -;Mr. Baldus stated 'that- this article has gone to'reat`trouble t 4 o4 revent aures from p being played, and this 'provision prevents the Council from playing games. Mr. Baldus stated that if a'Council felt 'an issue important; it could put it up to a vote of .the people and.then,try to sell the issue. Mr. B'aldus'further 'stated that recent history has shown that when the Parking Ramp was voted down in a':referendum the.Council went ahead with it anyway. Mrs. 'Cain moved that the provision prohibited a P ion ere Council from passing an ordinance defeated in a,referendum for, two years be deleted from the Charter. Mr. Ringgenberg seconded, and the Committee tied on the motion' to delete three to three with Cain, Ringgenberg, and DeCounter votina,for and Meardon, Baldus, and Knight voting against._ The Chairman ruled that this provisionwould remain in the Charter for the time being since there was a tie on the motion to delete.' Mr. Baldus moved that all of Article VII be adopted as written! Mr. Knight seconded. Mr. Ringgenberg stated that he was, concerned''about the definition of ordinance since it was broad and covered so many things. Mr. Ringgenberg stated that there should be:a limitpplaced on ordinance so, its meaning was the same as State law's. Mr. Baldus stated that the Charter would be worse off if it rel ed on '., Y the ;Codes definition of ordinance, since it was a law of a; general or permanent ,• nature, and the Courts would end up formulating what that means, Mr. Ringgenberg stated that ordinance under Iowa law would not include an plan. Mr. Meardon stated that it was important to include the coverage of policies and plans. Mr. Rosenstein stated that the inclusion of amendments to policies or plans would mean that most projects would be subject to referendum six or seven times',since most projects are • '' • � is v -2- amended that often. Mr. Baldus stated that only the amendment, and not the whole policy or plan, would be, subject to a referendum. Mr. Meardon stated that if someone showed him something that would create problems unless it was • excluded, he would be for excluding it from referendum.'- Mr. Meardon stated that he has grave feelings about protecting the people from themselves. Mr. Meardon stated that a vote for this motion would be afirmlcommittment to''Initiative and Referendum, although some sections might still change. The question was called and the motion' passed four for, none against, and one abstention, with Mr.' Ringginberg abstaining. Mr. Riggenberg.;st'ated he favored initiativeandreferendum but opposed this version:,', The Chairman called a meeting, for Monday night June 11, 1973 at 8:30. This 'meeting was scheduled for approval of the Tentative Draft. The Chairman and Mr.:I Rosenstein'. will distribute the tentative draft to'the -City -Council, City Manager,' City Attorney, and City Clerk on June 8,'1973. The 'minutes of May 23;26,29,30, and June.2, 1973, were approved,as corrected. These minutes are to be submitted to Council on Friday, June '8,',1973. Mr. Baldus moved the final adoption of the map dividing the City into, precincts and Council districts„as'corrected, 'and .,the submission of ,this Map to ,Council along with, but separate ,from, 'the Charter Mr. DeCounter seconded and the motion carried unanimously. (Mrs'. Cain was absent at this: time.) Several” minor. corrections were made to Articles I`through VI.- Mr. Baldus moved that Section 8.02 ',allow the Charter Review Commission to decide in what formthe amendments should be submitted.

He described a flow chart pertaining, to the relationship between metro- politanand;non=metropolitan portions of: a county-wide,la.nd.use plan.

Mr. Wells noted that since the members of t}ie Commission should sub- sequently adopt the plan, ,there should be reasonable land.uses pro- posed by the member bodies.

Mr. White' noted that the origin of the problem was in a past period when Coralville and Iowa city city councils were not communicating effectively and annex,ations:,were made,luirriddly and zoning was not always ltaken into ,consideration. , Ms. Embree, noted that Cgr.alville should make every,attempt to rectify the problem and rezone the 'lands !in ,question. idr.

Mr. Vestal noted that if the'noithwest area�of-Coralville were included in, the plan,'!, -the land uses there have.to be:fuhher; cons idered. He added that the City Council in'Coralvillelcan legally,ehange:.the zoning, "since landowner has no vested right in the zoninf as long as i the 'land has 'not 'yet .been used for -the zoned purpose. Mr Aellamy stated that unless the plan;'does incorporate the total Coralville area, it will have no value to the City of Coralville. Dr; Bihfiglio, Chairman of 'the Transportation Policy Committee, said r; lie felt the purpose of the Land Use Plan is mostly i.n';relationship;to the Transportation Stidykand may not necessarily preclude land uses outside the proposed development limit line. He said the transportation study';is designed to recognize and reflect those areas within the urban complex that are the largest traffic generators. Mr. Bartel questioned ;what ,delays 'would be Involved if future uses of the Coralville area were included in the study. Mr. Ilokahson state' thni the Iowa Highway Commission has had!the data based on the present p1nn's:ince Jure 1972, and that any major change in the plan may require delay in the transportation plan. ` i Ir.

Caroline Bmbree, representing the Citizens' Advisory', Committeeof the Transportation Study,, said she felt that the existing zoning pattern in Coralville could be improv,ed,.upon,;and that the present sewer and utility services and general development are costly because of!'the lielter-scelter zoning; and in the long run discourages sound develop- ment. Mr. White noted that the origin of the problem was in a past period when Coralville and rlowa City, city,, councils were not 'commun' icating effectively, and annexations were made hurriedly and zoning: was not always taken into consideration. Ms. Embree,,noted that Coralville should make every attempt to rectify the problem and 'rezone the lands in question. Mr. Widiss, representing the Citizens' Advisory Committee for the Transportation Study, noted that the. Commission is in in excellent uosition to control future development in the metropolitan area; di inefficient development patterns, tighten present zoning • regulations, and be aware of future gas,, shortages wh cli will directly affect the community ;and, its ,transportation system in a long-range plan.

In determining the scheduling -of programs for' -completion within the next five years, it was necessary to concentrate on the financial resource limitations that have been established by;'law and by Council <action, 'i'.e., the Pew,ly,1 adopted fiscal; policy. In each'of the years of.this,first program we have limited as,much as'Lpossible the; general; obligation bond': debt',to an increase qf'approximately 1,000,000 per year except for those non-recurring ma or ro'ects which are funded over and above this limitation.
