Thank you for bringing your views to the attention of the City, Council. Very truly yours, nay S. wells City Manager lw{'i : Al My name is - Richard W. Burger - President of the Iowa City Chamber of Commerce - and I wish again to address the City Council for support of the 010 Capital Corporation Dian for the renewal of the downtown of Iowa City. About a year ago, the lowa City City Council sought to have a local group of people submit a plan for the re -development of downtown Iowa City.', All information on this bid package was offered to all concerned, whether local or not. However; the only bid package submitted was that of the Old' Capital Development Group. There is a', lot of time, effort and money invested in this bid package, and a group of around 90 local people are involved. I' do believe that the Old Capital Group has fulfilled their commitment, but II do not feel that the Iowa City City Council has fulfilled theirs by the lack, to date, of a positive intent. All we ask is 'a general approval - or die - approval - cin this proposal - and we ask for that answer here today! 1 Richard H. Burger Pres. I. C. Chamber of Commerce December 24, 1973 Richard h.

Tir' nil you for bringing your views to the attention) of the City Council. Very truly yours, Rav S. Wells City 6ianager RSW:ale 3'L To the members of the CitY Council Of Iowa City • /J I wish to present an objection frau the Executive Council of Neighborhoods United to the passage at this time of a resolution or of other action indicating acceptance of the Urban Renewal proposal from the Old Capitol Development Com- pany. The Neighborhoods United zxecutive Council believes an action to accept the proposal from Old Capitol at this time is ill advised for the following eight reasons: contract which Drill cost the City of `Iowa 1) The proposal is a business City millions and will provide a'substantial profit to the investors of old Capitol,' 2) The returns to the City of Iowa City from this contract in the form of Ttt an greater shopping co enienee as well as more a better quality of life buciness for a group of businessmen must be evaluated against the cost to the City of the contract, 3) The City Council of. Iowa City is the soleSrotector o: the fundamental in- terests of the City and its citizens in these contract negotiations and must act ht every step of the negotiations to preserve and icsu those interests, 4) The City Staff as the agents of the City Council did not provide at the expected early datead..quate review of even the most conspicuous part of i the propuaal, cne underground parking `acility: when the e-::luation was presented Chia Lwneh, Ila Council 're'jected this parkjnr feature of tj,,a original proposalat its Dec. 7 meeting, tion of the underground parking ramp, the 5) As a result of the rejec original proposal is no longer before the council. Therefore, serious consideration can be given to desired alternative, to other features of the original proposal; such consideration both by the council and the public requires time. A resolution or letter of intent to accept the proposal now would remove from the city much of its power to achieve such further modifications. 6) while the underground parking ramp has been the : only serious weakness in the old Capitol proposal noted by the City staff, concerned citizens of Iowa City have noted many other questionable features. A failure to integrate closely the shopping facilities and the City and University bus systems is one weakness:. A!failure to deal withjthe transportation problem so as to preserve the neighborhoods and to reduce the dependence on the automobile is another. An indication now by the Council of acceptance even in principle of theOld Capitol proposal could force upon the City 'features wanted : i :.bnl*y by the businesscz of Io-aa City. 7) in the negotiation of a contract with Old Cr-pit ! ol or any other contrdetor, 11 1 t citizens from s United further suggests the City safeguard its Neighborhood r g e possible failure of the contractor by arranging for an incremental transfer of property conditional at each step upon specified prior accomplishments by the contractor, and 8) Thzxe should be a public discussion of the comparative strengths and weaknesses of the Old capitol proposal; to date we have had only a a ! up- portive presentation I of this proposal largely by layor Brandt and by members of the City Staff. A public discussion would consider alternatives of the type rejected as inappropriate at the public presentations. Such .st.

You are now in the process of considering modifications to that proposal and I believe it appropriate that I again comment on the plan because of the changes you are considering which affect the University. my comments are limited to impressions received from a copy of the staff -prepared document "Review of Offer to Purchase and Redevelop Land" and the most recent public discussions by the Council of this document. Our impression is that the general.theme of chaiiges proposed for the Old Capitol Business Center proposal have to do with parking. Specifically, they, are directed at providing approximately 500 parking spaces that cannot ended in the developers' proposal. The be provided in structures recommended to be to place that parking staff's proposed solution to this dilemma appears on the streets of downtown Iowa City. This position, if adopted, will have ntinually a severe negative impact on the University as it affects our co stated objective of a'pedestrian-oriented campus. As a specific result of this proposed sol ution, the City Staff has questioned whether Madison Street -between Iowa Avenue and Burlington Street can be closed. On page 38 of the Staff review it is stated: As a result of the proposal : for on -street parking, it is desir- able to keep Madison Street open to general traffic between Burlington and Market. it would be desirable to consider the construction of pedestrian overpasses across Madison at the University Library as well as the Memorial Union if Madison Is left open to traffic. The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members December 18, 1973 Page 2 This statement is diametrically opposed to the repeated requests of the Universityregarding Madison Street, and would constitute the desecration of the Pentacrest,' long a'cplace of great public beauty and one of the unique features of this community. I have made these points about Madison and the neod for a pedestrian campus at virtually every City-University meeting,) have attended during my tenure as president. Other portions of the review, point up the need to keep downtown streets', open to two-way traffic with curb parking. A statement on page 16, point 4, questions whether the plan for closing the intersection of Dubuque and Col- lege Streets for the purpose of constructing 'a mall can be carried out. If the latter-O scussed changes are carried out; it is difficult to follow Under the developers' the reasoning which prompts the comment on Madison:Street. pi)posal, which contemplated the closure to private vehicles of Madison Street, Dubuque Street and Capitol Street were also to have been closed and Clinton Street was to be reduced in functional capacity. With the'modifi- cations proposedby the Staff, it would seem that the necessity for Madison Street is lessened rather ,than increased, when compared with the developers' proposals. Other aspects of the response on perking would seem to force continued use of South Capitol, College between Capitol and Madison and Washington between Clinton and Madison for both traffic and parking. We cannot overemphasize our position that we find these proposals to be imate interests of the University,' and we completely at odds with the legit cannot concur in these changes.' Their net effect is to "solve" a central business district problem at the expense of the University. At this point it may be appropriate for me.to call to the attention of the Council three statements from the list of objectives that have been adopted as a part oC the Urban Renewal Program. They are shown in Appendix l of -the review document. They are: g. To provide a safe, efficient and attractive circulation system which miniinizes conflicts between different forms of traffic such as pedestrians, automobiles, transit and service vehicles. I. To provide for off-street parking facilities;in locations easily accessible from major thoroughfares and central area destinations alike, including long-term parking facilities, on the periphery of the central area. k. To aid the University of Iowa to expand in an orderly way, so the University ana the Business District can each: perform its own function with minimum' conflict and mutual benefit. The Honorable May and City Council Members December 18, 1973 Page 3 Vhilr. the Staff has recognized the apparent need to reconsider objective i, -the other two objectives have been lost in the efforts to accommodate the developers' proposal and requirements as we'understand them. I would be remiss in my responsibility *not to suggest other alternatives to the apparent direction of the Council, policy on the parking matter., One obvious possibility, which seems not ;to have been addressed publicly,is to cut back the parking to be provided to the point where on -street parking is not a continuednecessity. -Would the 500'spaces make that much difference? Could they not be provided later in structures if the need really develops? Has the developer been approached with this alternative? This suggestion seems appropriate, particularly in light of the energy crisis. The Council stands today on the brink of,a momentous decision ,that will, for good o'r bad, affect the future of the Community and inescapably the University for many years to come., I urge you, in the strongest teimseparable sible, not to sacrifice the interests o the University, ich from the interests of the Community„ as you reach this decision.

Thank you for bringing your views to the attention of the City C6uncil. Very truly yours, Ray S. 1ie11: To: Members of the Iowa City Council I I am very disturbed to see that the City Council is reacting so hastily and, I believe, so unwisely to the virtual ultimatum given by the Old Capitol Business Center Co. I attended on the the Council -sponsored neighborhood meetings in which the proponents of this Old Capitol plan, attempted to convince the public of the merits of the plan.Neither at this meeting, nor at other meetings from which -I receive reports from friends who had attended; was there manifested any uncritical and enthusi- astic support for this plan. One of the most frequent criticisms was, that it is a plan suitable for the past, not the future. It is a, plan,. presupposing unlimited automobile traffic and unlimited energy resources. Automobile traffic is actually' encouraged to the downtown area from greater Iowa City, Coralville, and more distant areas, by the widening of roads, the presence of a conference center, and the greatly expanded park- ing facilities: Surely it must be obvious to the Council that, in a decades time (the period over which' this development will be built), this country will no longer be able to maintain the life style which is so wasteful of energy resources. Nowhere in the list of conditions for acceptance, did I read of: building requirements designed so that energy resources would not be wasted; integration, of an expanded mass transit system and = limitation on the cost borne by the city, and thus the taxpayers, for the support of private investors. I believe that the City Council, in its haste to appease business interests, is about to buy a "pig in a poke". This is a heavy future burden to place on the backs of the taxpayers of this city, I support downtown redevelopment, but the City Council must seriouslv consider its responsibilities i December 29, 1973 Ms. Anne P.

It should also perhaps be noted that the role of ,the Project Area Committee is somewhat different from that of the Design Review Committee in that the Project Area Committee was specifically intended, as far as I can determine, to serve as a mechanism by which persons directly affected by urban Renewal could have an influence on the planning and execution of the project. The Design Review Committee was intended in a more advisory capacity to review redevelopment proposals and make recommendations to the ',Council from a design, planning, and aesthetic point of view. Chapter 403 of the 1973 Code of Iowa is the provision of the Iowa Code dealing with Urban Renewal. Section 403.16 of the Code of Iowa is the statute which deals specifically with the questions of conflict of interest by public officials in connection with the execution of Urban Renewal projects. Under that section no official of: thty oincluded Cito who owns an interest as defined in the statute in any property. to be included in the project shall participate in "any action" by the muni- cipality, or board or commission thereof, affecting such property.;. Sub tes that ownership of less than 5% of the section 5 of that section indica outstanding stock of a corporation having an interest in Urban Renewal propel;ty shall not be deemed to constitute an ownership interest under "Theword 'action' shall this statute. Subsection 6 provides as follows, ' not be deemed to include resolutions advisory to the local governing body or, agency by any citizens' group, board, body, or commission designated to serve a purely advisory approving or recommending function mxlc, this chapter." In my opinion both the Design Review Committee and the Project Area Committee serve a purely advisory or recommending function and tees is excl:aded by the provision of Sub - membership in those commitsection 6 of Section 403. 16 quoted above and hence doe not constitute a conflict of interest. Thereforei I do ..ot ')elieve that the fact that Mr. 4Vegman and A4r. Nusser own small interests in the redeveloper, in both cases substantially less than a 516 interest, would serve to disqualify them from membership on these two committees. It is, however, true that Section 403. 16 of the Code of Iowa does uestions involved because the Iowa Supreme not completely answer the q Court has consistently held that there are certain general common law principles against, conflicts of interest by public officials which are apparently in addition to the specific statutory principles set down in Stiction 403. 16.

It appears to me that any failure to disclose these names in the original disclosure statement a an a result of the disclosure a good faith difference of interpretation of certain language - form rather than anything else. To summarize; my opinion is as follows: 1. MemUership by Mr. Tom Wegman and Mr. William G. Nurser on the 'Design Review Committee and Project Area Committee does not constitute a violation of Section 403. 16 of the 1973 Code of Iowa and does not constitute a conflict of interest as defined by that statute. 2. The question of common lawlrules concerning conflict of interest is less clear, but in my opinion the membership of Mr. Wegman and Mr. Nusser on these committees does not constitute such a conflict of interest as would disqualify the actions taken by these committees which are purely in the form of recom- mendations to the. City Council. 3.

(Continued on page 2) December 18, 1973 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE IOWA CITY COUNCIL: Through forward-looking legislation in recent years, the Iowa City Council has adapted:to many new community needs and realities of the times. The Council has been far more responsive to citizen .interests than some of its critics would have people believe, and I think a comparison of the composite records of all the city, councils in Iowa would prove it. As one citizen, I urge the Council not to over -react to the or- ganized pressures you willi continue to beer. In a democratic community, it is inevitable that a very small percentage of the Populace will wield the greatest influence over the city council. Those citizens not only care about the policies they favor, but they make policy -change their extra -curricular busi- ness. Further, they understand practical Politics. They know how to make s.wheel scueek in order that the Council is persuaded to apply grease. Along with',so many other endowments, Iowa City is rich in its increment of wheel-'squeekers;and they,8re getting better or- ganiz6d all the time. Now"adays,they are joining forces in pursuit of their various community interests. They have come to represent a solid core of continuing criticism of the Iowa City Council and the city staff. I'm convinced that alicity council cannot satisfy its critics. At best, it can only exchange one brand Of criticism for another. The Council can set its formal meeting times at any hour of the day or night and I'm quite sure that critics will find it possible'to attend. I doubt, that, many others will be in attendance, other than �the petitioners of, the - moment., But the Council represents al those other people, too -_ those thousands upon thousands Of Iowa Citians who heven't,been criticizing the City Council. They represent the overwhelminp, majority,of,the citizens of Iowa City. They pay the overwhelming share of the, local taxes we've been budgeting and spending. They elect councilmen to represent their citizen interests, and 3 don't think they went to feel that they have to get down to City Hall on a weekly basis, to keep the I I Council aware of its obligations to them. To a considerable degree! they are apathetic about Iowa City government and about the Council's problems, and that is unfortunate. but somehow, they also retain a! great measure of faith in a system in which th- policy-mnkers are named in free elections, to legislate for the whole community. I think the classic obligation of any city council is not to undermine the faith in local government which still is displayed by the creat body of our citizens. The next Council will reflect some new thrusts and some stronger emphases in city Policy-making. I do not resist that reality in the slightest. It is as it should be. The transition in Council philosophy .y) ji :: ✓ l r iIC" tt 1.�r7l, J: • • -2- has occurred grauuslly, over three city elections. The trend has been consistent and unmistakable. The new Council consensus can be ,very good for Iowa City, so lonq�_as no counci this city out of darkness.l member is bemused by the: inference that he or she was named personally to deed the people of ' New directions for a complex community have to evolve. They cannot be instituted in a single day, or year. In the light of which a council has to have'a great deal more patience than its constituents are apt to have about new priorities and broadened programs. to reflect that patience. I urge the Council YOU face. It will be the most difficult continuing task There is an exhileration __ I have experienced it __ in savoring the fact that 3,600, or 4,200, or 4,500 voters pulled the lever over your tionaln the lest election. But there's a sobering influence in _the add' tional fact that only 25% of the city's registered voters went to the polls in that election, and the total voterscwho cast ballots represen ted only 159 of the city's population. Who represents the other 8595 in government et the local level, if every member of the council does,not do so? As you face a new year end a new appr take the long view -- of yourselvesoach, I urge the Council to , and of this city. Times do indeed change - I can tell You how quickly. y my earll years on the Council, some very vocal critics castigated me In In a wild- eyed liberal, bent on abandoning some of the most sacred,precepts of Americanism, even to the Point of condemning one man's property for the Ultimate use and benefit, of another. In'these later years, I've been Pigeon -holed among the most moss -backed of conservatives, intent on pre- serving social anachronisms at any cost„ even to the point of assuming that some manner of four -wheeled vehicle which travels about on streets and roadways will survive the fossil -fuels crisis. If you serve on the Council long enough, the same kind of thing can happen to you. Which suggests that any city council ought to be wary of those who cite immediate and contemporary conditions as justification for the actions they urge you to take. Their honesty is not in question: But they may be extremely narrow in their perspective of this cgs, and of this city. Many of the same people who urge you to act only in the light of,a long-range plan will be among those who will urge you to abandon this or that element of the same plan,'once it is before you. (I think this will be especially true of that celebrated area_ transportation study, if indeed it ever reaches you at all; and I can only hope that it will'not even men - term the term "arterial street," for the sake of the Council's collective sanity.) A long -ranee plan is useless 'unless its central goals are achieved in a timely way, whatever modifications may have to be made along the way. During the past twenty years, the student body of the University has grown from 7,000 to, 20,000, with corresponding growth in the faculty and staff. In that time span, more than $120 million in University capital Construc- tion has accommodated the growing programs and chanced the face of the 41 r"I", ..... • -3- campus. Has that overall dcvc.1cp.-..cnt bean good for Iowa City? I think so.r Admittedly, if the growth had been stymied by effective opposi- tion, many of the Council's present critics probably would not now be living in this community. But in the broader view, without the Uni- versity's recent growth, there would be no lows Center for the Arts in Iowa City, nor would the current prospect exist for the stature: of the University's west campus as a major regional medical and health services center. The point is that a cood many long-range plans have been carried out on the campus, over many years and by succeeding administrations, despite the obstacles of opposition. I suggest.the City Council take' a leaf from the University's book in the area of long-range pl, them anning.I of preserving the central goals of plans, and of seeing through � 1 with solid and continuing support at the top level. Only in that way, I think, Asn the Council justify this city's faith in its own future. It is the City Council which must be the firatt reflection of the city's faith. Of other pieces of gratuitous advice I might offer you, I give you only one more: get out and stay out of the business of administering various city programs, no matter how bard some citizens may try to push you into administration. Make whatever policies a consensus of the Council will support, but leave their implementation -- without inter- minable second-guessing -- to the manager end the most competent staff of city department heads and employees I think this city ever has had'! You will have a gres't'deal more time for your own important work by`I confining your labors,to policy-making. if the Council's policies are sound, and if you authorize the indispensible administrative budget support, the manager and staff will make the Council look,good. In, the last analysis, in the present and in the forthcoming new charter form of government, it takes an able and dedicated:staff'to make a council look good. The Iowa City manager and staff deserve far more credit, far more defense, and far more support from the City Council then they've received in recent years.

The next Council will reflect some new thrusts and some stronger emphases in city policy-making. I do not resist that reality in the slightest. It is as it should be. The transition in Council philosophy has occurred gradually, over three city elections The trend hes been consistent and unmistakable. Tho new Council consensus can be very good for Ionia City, so long as no council member is bemused by the amed personally to load the people of inference that he or she was n this city out of darkness. Net: directions for a complex'eommunity have to evolve. They cannot be instituted in a single day, or year. In the light of ,which e council has to hove c greet deal more patiencethen its constituents arc apt to have about now priorities and broadened programs. 111rce the Council to reflect that patience. It will be the most difficult continuing task you f ace . There is an exhileration -- I have experienced it -- in savoring the fact that 3,600, or 4,2.00, or 4,500 voters pulled the lever over your name in the last election.- But there's a sob._ring',influcace,in the addi- tional fact that only 25% of the city's registe edvoters went to the polls in that ',election, and the total voters who cost ballots represen- tcd only 15y of the city's population.' Who represents the other 85;x, in government et'the local level, if; every 'member of the council does not do so? As you face a new year and anew approach, I urge the Council to take the long view -- of yourselves, end of this, city. Times do indeed change -- Lean tell you how quickly. In my early tics castigated me years on the Council, some very,'property f vocal Cr'crice a wild- eyed liberal; bent on abandoning some of the most sacreforthe Americanism, even to the, point of condemning one man's p p y ultimate use and benefit of another. In these later years,,Iive been pigeon.-holed among the most moss-backed of conservatives, intent on pre- serving social ,anachronisms ;at any COS-,, even to the point of assuming .four-wheeled vehicle which travels about on streets that some manner of and roadways .will survive the fossil-fuels crisis. If you serve on the Council long enough, the ame kind of thing can happen to you. Which suggests that any cit. council ought to be wary of those who cite immediate and contemporary conditions as justification question. for the 'actions they urge you to take. Their honesty is not in question. But they may be-extremely narrow in their perspective of this age, and of this city. Many of the same jeople who urge you to act only in the ;light of a long-range plan will be among those who will urge you to abandon this that element of the same plan, once it is before you. (I chink this will be especially true of that celebrated area-transportation study, if indeed it ever reaches you at all; and !,con only hope that it will not even men- tion the term "arterial street," for the sake of the Council's collective sanity.) - A lone,-range elan is useless unless its central gook arc achieved along the way. in e(timely way, whatever modifications may have to be mode Dux^_ag the past twenty years, the student body of the University has grown from;7,000 to 20,000, with corresponding growth in the faculty and staff. In that time span, more than $120 million in University capital construe- tion has accommodated the growing programs and changed the, face of the us. coml-jHas that overall: development been, good for lowo City? I think SO. Admittedly, if the growth had been stymied by effective,opposi- tion, many of the Council's present critics probably would not now be living in this community.: But in the broader view, without the Uni- versity's recent growth, there would be,'no Iowa Center for the Arts in Iowa City, nor would the current! prospect exist for the stature of the University's west cam pus as I a major Jor regional medical and health services center. The point is that a cood many long-range plans have been carried out on the campus, over mciny years and by succeeding administrations, despite tho obstacles of opposition. I suggest the City Council take a leaf from the University's book in the area of long-range planning, of preserving the central goals of plans, and of seeing them through with solid and continuing support at the top level. only in that way, I think, can the Council justify this city's faith in its own future. It is the City Council which must be the first reflection of1the city's faith. Of other pieces of gratuitous�odvice I might offer you, 1 give you only one more; . get out and stay out of the business: of e6iinistaring various city programs, no matter how herd some citizens may try to push you into ndministration. ?4ske whatever policies a consensus of the Council will support, but.leave their implementation -- without inter- minable second -guessing: --'to the monager and the:most'compotent staff of city department heads and employees :I think this city ever has had. You will have a great deal more time for y0 ur own important work by : confining your labors to policy -making.. -If the Council's policies are sound, and if you authorize the indispensible administrative budget support, the manager and staff willmvkc the Council I..)ok good. In the last analysis, in the present and in the forthcoming new charter forn',of governmenti it takes an able and dedicated staff to make a. council look good. The Iowa City manager and staff deserve for more credit, for more defense, and far more support from the City Council than they've received in recent years.

As used herein, "Agency" means the City of Sioux City, -'Iowa, acting as the Local Public Agency itself .Lnd exercising all of the rights, powers, and privileges granted by Chapter -403 of the 1973 Code 6f -Iowa. The term "Redeveloper" refers to a private party participating with Agency in the development of a pedestrian passageway system within the _downtown area. DIVISION II STATEMENT OF INTERPRETATION AND OBJECTIVES A. Interpretation. The parties hereto agree that this document shall be interpreted broadly_, to effegtuate_the objectives set forth below. By so doing, it is the i intention of the parties that this Agreement may be modified from time to time by mutual consent, which cannot be withheld unreasonably, to accommodate - either the Redeveloper and his construction or the Agency and its construction - and also to overcome any unique or unforeseen circumstance that may arise in the construction, operation or maintenance of the pedestrian passageway system. B. " Objectives. The primary purpose of.the_pedestrian passageway system is to accommodate pedestrians away from the ground level sidewalks and the elements, enabling pedestrian traffic to move within an environmentally controlled. pedestrian passageway developed aboveground level so pedestrians are protected from adverse weather and from vehicles. The pedestrian passageway system is expected to significantly_ reduce_ pedestrian -vehicle conflicts at - street level, particularly during periods of peak traffic, thereby permitting a smoother flow of vehicular traffic and greater safety for the pedestrian. - This separation of pedestrian and vehicles has permitted the City to reduce - --- -roadway widths to a minimum, thereby leaving a maximum amount -of -land avail- able for redevelopment. Another important benefit of the pedestrian passageway system is the opportunity affordedredevelopersto provide shop and office space abutting the concourse corridors. In the use of such shop space, the public will. be unhindered by adverse weather conditions and traffic, thereby promoting -the desirability of shopping and doing business in the buildings connected by skyways and enhancing the economic strength of downtown Sioux City. The pedestrian passageway system, at the expense of the Redeveloper, subject` to the consent of Agency,, also may contain sculpture, water displays, -art- work, and other elements contributing to the esthetic and cultural enrichment of the citizens of the City, thereby becoming the focus of activity in the downtown area. The pedestrian passageway system will be developed at Agency's expense provided they are built on public property or contained within public easementsgranted-by_the-Redeveloper and the redevelopment planshaving -been ---' reviewed by the Agency in accordance with the terms of Division VIII of this Contract. The Redeveloper will be responsible for the construction of the Public concourse corridor, within his structure, ,and with the approval of the Agency may construct private concourse corridors or concourse lobbies at his i I own expense which will not be reimbursable by the Agency. The location of the pedestrian,passageway -system, including concourse corridors, nodes, vertical access facilities and skyways to be mutually developed by the Agency and Redeveloper are shown on the attached map marked Exhibit "A" which must be compatible with the entire system of pedestrian passageways in the downtown area of Sioux City, Iowa. The pedestrian passageway system will be entirely enclosed and shall be heated and/or cooled to maintain a temperature range between 600 F and 800 F to assure pedestrian comfort. The term "enclosed" shall mean protected from the weather, though the area of the pedestrian passageway system need not necessarily be confined by its own walls.- The concourse corridors and sky- ways to be developed by the Agency and/or Redeveloper will be constructed to a'reimbursable width equal to the inside width of the skyway connecting to the structure with a larger area to be developed at nodes. DIVISION IIS CONSTRUCTION RESPONSIBILITY. DESIGN-AND COSTS A. Responsibility, The Agency will be responsible for the construction of the skyways (including mid-span support systems), pedestrian vertical access facilities, nd nodes which are located outside Redevelopers property. Redeveloper will e responsible for construction of all concourse corridors, both public and rivate,'located within his property and all nodes located within his property. edeveloper will also be responsible for the additional support in his improvements necessary-to support the skyways where; they -abut his-structure t the concourse corridor level. Skyways will be constructed to provide a inimum clearance of 161 between thelowestpart of the skyway and the street rade. Skyways constructed across boundary streets of the CBD-East Project rea by the Redeveloper will be eligible for Agency participation only upon pecific approval and authorization of Agency. In any event construction hereof must meet the requirements contained herein. - 3 B. ; Design. The design of the; public pedestrian concourse corridors must meet the specifications established by the Agency set forth below for the puipose of distinguishing public areas from private areas. Redeveloper agrees not to copy or imitate the design identity of the Agency in such a manner as to confuse or mislead the public from identifying those areas publicly provided. Therefore, private concourse corridors and concourse lobbies must be clearly and readily distinguishable from public areas. C. Coate. 1. Concourse Corridors. The Redeveloper's actual separate square foot costs of`con— structing-the on—struttingthe public concourse corridors will be paid by the Agency in accordance with the provisions of DIVISION VI below up to a maximum of $21.00 per square foot as adjusted. However,no private concourse corridor shall be eligible for reimbursement from the Agency. 2. Nodes The Agency recognizes that in certain instances nodes will be necessary and/or desirable within a Redeveloper's' structure. 'However, loca— tion, design and construction shall always be subject to_Agency's approval. The Agency will be responsible for paying for the actual " separate square foot costs of constructing such nodes up to a maximum of $21.00 per square foot, as adjusted. Such nodes must clearly possess ,a design identity and 'character separating them from abutting private areas and, in the sole determination of -the Agency, must be primarily oriented to the public purpose of accommodating pedestrian travel in the concourse system, including orientation, direction changes, and congregation, or vertical movement to street-level.--Nodeslor concourse corridor segments that are solely or primarily integral to the use of abutting private building areas will not be eligible for Agency financial participation. 3. Pedestrian Vertical Access Facility. A pedestrian vertical access facility constructed by the Redeveloper within his structure connecting, the private ground level floor of Redeveloper's structure with thepublicconcourse corridors contained within his structurewillnot.be eligible for Agency participation. 4 MEMORA N D.0 N Iowa,City, Iowa December 18 1973 To; The City Council of Iowa City From; David Baldus(�(.6 Re; Formal Expressions of the Council's Intent on the Old Cap Offer I appreciate your concern about further `delay ,of the urban renewal project. However, from a business standpoint:I do not believe that a reasonable negotiator would either insist upon or agree to the demand that the Councilmanifest today some form of intent to accept Old Caps offer. If your expression of intent is legally binding,' you expose the City to possible legal action. And, whether binding or not, such an expression will seriously weaken the City's leverage in fixture negotiations. It already appears that Old Cap is in control of the discussions. A vote of intent today, no matter how it is conditioned, will greatly strengthen that impression. Thus far the City has shown good ,faith and has acted reasonably in the negotiations. Under these circumstances, I believe, a prudent businessperson in the City's position would continue to bargain In good faith and would agree formally to nothing until all outstanding issues were settled. The citizen -investors of Iowa City whom you represent are entitled to the same level of prudence. DB Es A pedestrianvertical access facility connecting public property with the pedestrian passageway will be eligible for Agency, participation if approved by the Agency prior to construction. - DIVISION IV EASEMENTS Prior to public concourse corridors being eligible for reimbursement f by the Agency, the Redeveloper must grant to the Agency all necessary easements for, public use of the concourse corridors and connections therewith to the skyways to be constructed by Agency. Such easements shall be coterminous with the designated areas of - concourse corridors and nodes, vertical access facilities, and -skyways and shal also extend on the ground floor from the foot of vertical access facilities to a public sidewalk or other public property giving access to a public, side- walk. Such easements shall be required for both those pedestrian passageway system elements for which the Agency is financially responsible and those elements constituting a link in the basic system for which private parties - may be responsible. An example of the latter instancewouldbe_a privately developed concourse in property-outside•of.the Urban Renewal.area which connects two skyways built by the Agency or which become property of the Agency. The easements must -be -in a form satisfactory, to the Agency and will be limited to the life of the improvements constituting the concourse system. The easements will grant to the public the`right of use of the concourse !' system for purposes of ingress and egress and pedestrian transit without. • •j limitaticnr DIVISION V E UTILITIES AND COST SHARING, AGREEMENTS — — j A. - Utilities: i , The Agency will be responsible for the construction of all skyways and will provide necessary interior lighting fixtures and wiring, air condi- + tioning ducts, heat distribution facilities within the skyway, and any s ` other necessary mechanical ani.. electrical facilities. The Redeveloper will connect the mechanical and electrical; systems of its building to the skyways and supply to the skyway, facilities the necessary heat, cooled air, -5— _ l;, and electrical power from the mechanical and electrical systems of its building B. Cost Sharing Agreements. Where a skyway connects the improvements of. Redeveloper with that of another redeveloper or building owner, each party so connected will be responsible for sharing the cost of providing the required mechanical services to the skyway. A'cost-sharing agreement must be reached by the affected parties and submitted to the Agency for its approval prior to the commencement of skyway construction. DIVISION VI COST DETERMINATION METHODS In order to determine the actual concourse costs for which the Agency will be responsible, the Redeveloper mall submit to the Agency actual con- struction cost data inthefollowing manner: 1. The cost per square foot of providing the basic building shell` for the building in which the public concourse corridor is located shall be determined. This cost may include such items as excavation, foundation, structural frame, floor and ceiling..structure, etc. It may not include mechanical systems which in part serve the, public concourse corridor. It may -- not include site improvements, interior par titions:and.finishes, land -costs, architect's -or other; fees, orothercosts not integral to the basic building shell. 2. The cost per square foot for the interiorfinishes which comprise and delineate the public concourse corridor area shall be determined. Such costs for finishes may include floor and ceiling covering, lighting fixtures and other components actually within the area of the public concourse -corridor." Where partitions delineate the public concourse corridor from abutting private building areas, the cost of the partition shall be the sole responsi- bility of the Redeveloper. The total of these two cost -per -square -foot determinations shall be the amount for which the Agency will be responsible for each square foot of public concourse corridor area, up to a maximum of`$21.00-per square foot, as adjusted. i 3. The Agency reserves the right to exclude, from the determination of the cost reimbursable by the Agency, any item not properly part of the basic building shell or interior finishes. 4. The maximum Agencyexpenditure of $21.00 persquarefoot for public concourse corridors shall be adjusted quarterly using the "Engineering - News Record" Building Cost Index for the Sioux City, Iowa, area as of June 1973, as the base figure. The date upon which the Redeveloper enters into a construction contract for all or a part of the pedestrian passageway system shall be used in determining the Building Cost Index in effect and the applicable maximum limits shall be adjusted accordingly. DIVISION VII - DESIGN AND MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS In order to achieve the design identity, continuity, and ease of orien- tation necessary so the public concourse corridor system can function effectively, the Agency has established --certain design and materials ,require- ments. The design of the public concourse corridor system within Redeveloper's structure shall adhere to or exceed the following requirements; providing however, any additional costs incurred by better quality materials shall be borne by the Redeveloper. A. Ceilings. 1. The general type of ceiling material to be used shall be acoustical units 12"_x 12" x 5/8" in minimum non-combustible,, non -directional- fissured mineral tile with a washable vinyl or acrylic' factory applied finish.

The 12" deep by 9" wide pocket which is a part of the ceiling space 3n the skyways, located at the ceiling at both sides shall be a continuous feature throughout all portions of the pedestrian passageway system, _ 7 and will consist of a continuous recess flouresent'light fixture similar to "ALKCO" catalog no. RS-704-D.W/l-F40/CWX lamp. This will be the general pedestrian passageway lighting in portions `of -the system which are 12'.- 0" or less in width, and will; be used to wash the walls in all areas of the system. In portions of the pedestrian passageway system, where additional general area lighting is required because of the size or configuration of the space,_ the perimeter lighting is to be supplemented with recessed can type lighting. 4. Skyway ceilings will have a minimum interior height of 8 feet. B. Walls. 1.- Exterior walls in the skyways shall consist of solar bronze glass and steel frame window units with baked enamel All exterior and interior window frames and door frames and miscellaneous metal items installed in the - public concourse corridors within privately developed structures -shall be painted steel, or anodized aluminum. -Aluminum finish shall -be equal -to "ALCOA DURONODIC 3135"_dark -bronze, satin finish.Steel shall be painted to match the aluminum finish above. 2. All interior walls in the pedestrian passageway system which are solid walls shall have a vinyl applied surface to the wall as the base material, and shall be COME Surface 1 318 -SO off white. 3.' All spaces within the skyway system which require supplemental heating at the base shall be covered with an anodized aluminum or baked enamel steel cover similar to "Hofco" aluminum cover. The configuration and location of the supplemental heating at the base is to be compatible to the configuration and location as indicated in the drawings for that portion I of the skyway between Hilton Hotel and Sioux City Plaza (such configuration and location will be subject to the approval of the Agency). C. Floors. All portions of the skyway system shall receive carpet which shall - be #5554 buckskin as manufactured_ by Carpet Systems Commercial Carpet Corporation TXR-10. The carpet is to be applied directly to the surface with adhesive. The base shall be 4" dark brown vinyl base. D. Symbols, Graphics and Equipment. 1. Pedestrian Passageway System Symbol: 8 The Agency has developed a graphic symbol ,for the pedestrian passageway system. Such symbollshall be used only as and where approved and indicated by the Agency. The symbol shall be used at the exterior of all grade -level building entrances that provide direct access to the system. It shall also be used as approved by the Agency, in other building areas, to- gether with arrows or other directional indicators, to indicate the location of the public concourse corridor system. 2, Concourse System Graphics: Graphis will play a vital role in orientation in the concourse corridor system and, through consistency of design and placement, will also constitute a vital element in achieving concourse corridor system identity. The Agency will be responsible forthedesign of all concourse system graphics. Such graphite shall be used only as and where approved and indicated by the Agency. - All directional and informational graphics in the skyway system shall be applied to the wall and glass surfaces and shall incorporate the use of international symbols where appropriate. The letter type shall be "Helvetica-Medium" large and small case. The graphics applied shall be vinyl and of large-scale. only graphics for general direction and information shall be incorporated and specific direction or information pertaining to the functions adjacent shall not be incorporated. For instance, graphics which indicates the direction to Redeveloper's structure is allowable, but graphics indicating the direction to a department or -tenant in Redeveloper's structure will not be allowed. Any: specific information or direction may beincorporatedwithin private areas which are adjacent to the public pedestrian passageway system. - 3. CostsandAuthority to Install. Original installation of all symbols and graphics to be placed in skyways or public concourse corridors shall be the responsibility of the Agency. The costs of these symbols and graphics installed by the Agency shall be borne by the Agency. The Redeveloper may request additional symbols or graphics to the original numbers of such symbols or graphics installed by the Agency; however, the total cost of such additional symbols or graphics permitted by the Agency shall be borne by the Redeveloper. 9 i The relocation,'maintenance, and/or removal of all public con- j. course corridor symbols or graphics will be the responsibility of the Redeveloper. Relocations or removals of such symbols or graphics shall be imade only with specific approval by the Agency. Only symbols or graphics approved by the Agency will be - allowed in the public pedestrian concourse corridor or skyway; all non - approved symbols or ,graphics shall be removed by the Redeveloper at the - Redeveloper's expense without regard to who may have installed the said symbols or graphics. s 4. ;Equipment. The Redeveloper, at his expense and with the approval of Agency, may install or provide items of equipment for location in nodes area of sufficient size, such as sculpture, decorative fountains,public telephones, drinking fountains, kiosks for display of material of public or historical interest, trash recepticals, ash trays, benches, and chairs. The placement of any type of equipment in or on the public concourse corridor or skyway _ shall be subject to Agency's approval. The placement of furniture in areas other than nodes or the - placement of advertising material in the public pedestrian passageway system by the Redeveloper or his tenants shall not be permitted. The policing of this requirement is the obligation of the Redeveloper with respect to con- course corridors within and skyways abutting his structure. DIVISION VIII METHOD OF AGENCY PAYMENT As a prior condition to the reimbursement by, the Agency for pedestrian passageway system construction undertaken by developer, preliminary plans and cost estimates therefor will be submitted to the Agency for approval and in no event shall the Agency provide monies under the provisions of this docu- ment for improvements which are not clearly identifiable as part of the pedestrian' concourse system. Plans submitted by the Redeveloper for approval by the Agency shall indicate all materials and finishes used in the concourse system, and shall clearly indicate the architectural manner in which the 10 _ concourse corridor _system 1s clearly_ separated from abutting private building areas where the concourse corridors occur within the Redeveloper's building. The Agency reserves the right to make certain additions to such drawings, including signs and other graphics, furniture, and other elements consistent with achieving identity and design continuity for each segment of the pedestrian passageway system. The cost estimates provided by the Redeveloper at this time will include the estimated square foot cost of the building shell and the estimated square foot coats of all finishes integral to the area -- of the concourse corridor, as set forth in DIVISION VI above. The Agency will review such drawings.and cost data, and upon Agency approval, such drawings and data will be submitted by the Agency to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (DHUD) for concurrence as to the eligibility for non-cash grant-in-aid credit for the subject segment of the pedestrian passageway system within Redeveloper's property. No construction of the pedestrian system within Redeveloper's structures shall be reimbursable without DHUD concurrence. - DIVISION IX PEDESTRIAN PASSAGE[JAY OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE The Redeveloper assumes the full responsibility and liability for the operation,' security, maintenance, cleaning (cleaning includes the removal of prohibited symbols, graphics and advertising materials), repair and replacement for all segments of the pedestrian passageway system located within his property, and for skyways over public property abutting his 'property, and -all public vertical access facilities on, adjacent tc, or abutting Redeveloper' property, and shallcarryout such operation, security, maintenance, cleaning,' repair and replacement at its own expense without cost to the Agency. All re placements of signs, symbols, graphics, equipment, or structural parts shall beofa quality equal to or greater than that originally; provided. In the event _that _the Redeveloper fails to operate, keep secure, maintain, repair or ` replace the pedestrian passageway system or any part thereof to a reasonable standard, the Redeveloper consents to the City performing such operations and assessing all costs incurred in so doing against the Redeveloper in accordance f; with the procedures established for the..Abatement of Nuisances as prescribed by the Municipal Code of Sioux City, Iowa.
