ITEM 12. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 10 OF THE CITY CODE, ENTITLED
"USE OF PUBLIC WAYS AND PROPERTY," CHAPTER 3, ENTITLED
"COMMERCIAL USE OF SIDEWALKS, " TO ELIMINATE THE CAP ON
TEMPORARY SIDEWALK PERMITS AND TO EXPAND THE PERMIT FOR
FRIDAYS DURING THE SUMMER BY ESTABLISHING ANEW SIDEWALK
RETAILING PERMIT. (FIRST CONSIDERATION)
Comment: Temporary sidewalk permits are primarily used for "sidewalk days" in the
downtown. This ordinance increases the flexibility of the permits by eliminating the cap
(present limit is three per year) and the duration (one permit is limited to Fridays to
coincide with the Friday Night Concert Series.) It also creates a new sidewalk retailing
permit that is available to a business on an annual basis on Thursdays through
Sundays from March through October. This idea originated with the Downtown
Association of Iowa City, and the packet contains a memo from the Assistant City
Manager with more detail. The ordinance provides that rules for the sidewalk retailing
permit will be established by staff, and the memo sets forth the proposed rules.
Action:
ITEM 13. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 3, ENTITLED "CITY FINANCES,
TAXATION AND FEES," CHAPTER 4, ENTITLED "SCHEDULE OF FEES, RATES,
CHARGES, BONDS, FINES, AND PENALTIES," SECTION 3-4-5, ENTITLED
"SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL," OF THE CITY CODE TO INCREASE OR
CHANGE CERTAIN SOLID WASTE CHARGES. (SECOND CONSIDERATION)
Comment: This proposed ordinance would increase solid waste collection fees by
approximately. three and one half percent (3.5%). Currently the fee is $14.50 per
month; the increase would change the fee to $15.00, effective July 1, 2009. This
action is necessary due to annual increases in operational costs. The last fee increase
was effective July 1, 2008.
Action:
ITEM 14. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 9 ENTITLED "MOTOR VEHICLES
AND TRAFFIC", CHAPTER 7 ENTITLED "VEHICLE SIZE, WEIGHT AND LOAD,"
TO RESTRICT LARGE TRUCK TRAFFIC ON NORTH SUMMIT STREET AND
DEWEY STREET. (SECOND CONSIDERATION)
Comment: This Ordinance will amend the City Code to add North Summit Street and
Dewey Street to the list of streets where vehicles weighing more than 16 tons are
prohibited. The existing streets where large trucks are embargoed include Kirkwood
Avenue, South Summit Street, Lower Muscatine Road, and First Avenue. This action
has been requested by residents of North Summit Street and Dewey Street; staff found
that large trucks have damaged fire hydrants, curbs and sidewalks on these streets
due to the narrow right-of-way.

STATE OF IOWA AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
Comment: The City has applied for a variety of federal and state grants for flood
assistance that staff anticipates will be approved in the near future. The State of
Iowa additionally has periodically informed City staff that state funds for disaster
recovery are available. Previously, there has been a resolution approving each grant
agreement, and this resolution authorizes both the Mayor and City Manager to sign
grant agreements including the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) (a/k!a the
"buyout") without the need for Council to approve each one individually.
