The project is anticipated to be completed during the months of May-August 2003. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR APRIL 22 ON THE SCOTT PARK TRUNK SANITARY SEWER PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING MAILING AND PUBLICATION OF NOTICE OF SAID PUBLIC HEARING TO EACH OWNER OF RECORD OF AGRICULTURAL LAND THAT MAY BE ACQUIRED FOR THE PROJECT. Comment: The City of Iowa City must acquire right-of-way, fee title, permanent easements and/or temporary construction easements to construct the Scott Park Trunk Sanitary Sewer Project. State law requires the City to give notice to agricultural property owners whose properties may be affected. This notice will notify all potentially affected property owners of their opportunity to present their views on the project and proposed acquisition of property rights at the public hearing. This notice protects the City's right to condemn if necessary. This is the second public hearing on authorization to proceed with property acquisition for the project. An additional property owner was identified that property may be required from and a second public hearing is therefore being held in order to abide by State law. This project includes construction of a sanitary trunk sewer from Scott Park along Ralston Creek to Lower West Branch Road. Resolutions.

Action: ~-D,,~ /('l~ ',4~_ U I CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 1, "ADMINISTRATION," CHAPTER 9, "CITY ELECTIONS," SECTION 2(A), "DEFINITIONS," OF THE CITY CODE TO AMEND THE DEFINITION OF "CANDIDATE'S COMMITTEE" TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE RECENTLY AMENDED DEFINITION OF "CANDIDATE'S COMMITTEE" IN THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE CHAPTER OF THE STATE CODE THAT INCREASES THE LEVEL OF CONTRIBUTIONS WHICH REQUIRE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A COMMITTEE AND THE ATTENDANT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FROM $500 TO $750. (FIRST CONSIDERATION) Comment: Effective April 2002, the campaign finance provisions of the state code (Chapter 56) were amended to increase the contributions which require the establishment of a candidate's committee from $500 to $750. The definition is included in the City ordinance merely because Iowa City prohibits a candidate or a "candidate's committee" from accepting contributions in excess of $100. The ordinance change will not affect Iowa City's limitation on campaign contributions. Iowa City does not have its own enforcement mechanism for the $100 limitation, relying on self-enforcement and, the state's campaign finance reporting requirements. Due to the state code amendment, a committee and reports will not be required until a candidate has received $750 in contributions as opposed to $500.

(SECOND CONSIDERATION) Comment: This proposed ordinance would decrease water service charges by 5% due to the bid for construction of the new water supply and treatment facility and distribution system being lower than projected.
