Family Characteristics (continued)
Applicant (applicant family): A person or family that has applied for admission to
the Iowa City Housing Authority’s Public Housing program but is not yet a participant.
Eligibility for housing programs is not established until applicants reach the top of the waiting
list and their Preliminary Application for Assistance is processed.
The Iowa City Housing Authority’s jurisdiction is Johnson County, Iowa; Iowa County,
Iowa; and, Washington County, Iowa, North of Highway 92. The general applicant
pool from which the Housing Authority draws to determine program eligibility are
elderly, disabled, and families with children under the age of 18 who are residents
(have a legal domicile) or are employed, in our jurisdiction (Johnson County, Iowa
County, and Washington County N of HWY 92).

and time of application and only those applications of families who qualify for the bed-
room size of the available Public Housing units. The eligibility determination process
includes verification of residency, family composition, eligibility status, and a national
criminal background check conducted through the Iowa Department of Criminal In-
vestigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

ICHA income and cash sources. The uses of the cash sources
are based on relevant HUD notices and signed agreements
between the Housing Authority and HUD.
Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Administrative Fees
Administrative fees are available to the ICHA for the operation and manage-
ment of the HCV program. Starting January 31, 2004, HUD and Congress,
through the approval of the Annual Appropriations Act, restricted the use of ad-
ministrative fee income to activities related to the HCV tenant-based rental assis-
tance and related development activities (PIH Notice 2008-15).
Housing Assistance Payments (HAP)
HUD provided funds to cover the housing subsidy paid to owners/landlords
directly by the ICHA on behalf of the participating family. The family pays the
difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount
subsidized by the program. Under certain circumstances, if authorized by the
ICHA, a family may use its voucher to purchase a modest home.
HUD/Veterans’ Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH)
This is tenant based rental assistance funds targeting homeless veterans partici-
pating in VA Case Management Services.
Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS)
The FSS program is a tenant self-sufficiency work incentive program. ICHA estab-
lishes cash accounts for FSS program participants that will be available to them if
they complete the program. ICHA’s contributions to these accounts are funded by
HUD through the ICHA’s regular funding process. FSS cash is not available to
ICHA for any other use.
Public Housing Operations
Under Section 9(3) of the Housing Act of 1937, Operating Funds are available
to the ICHA for the operation and management of the Public Housing program.
These funds assist the ICHA in bridging the gap between the rent collected and
the operating expenses of the program. Operating cash is only available for the
use and benefit of public housing units and residents.
Iowa City Housing Authority (ICHA) Funding Sources
Annual Plan — 2022
Page 18
Housing Authority Capitol Fund Grants
HUD provides funds to the ICHA to improve the physical condition, upgrade
the management and operation and carry out other activities for Public Housing
developments. These funds are primarily used for general maintenance and re-
pair of the Public Housing units. As necessary, these funds will also be used to
upgrade structures, interiors, HVAC systems and appliances. Capital Funds are
calculated and allocated by an established formula.
Affordable Dream Homeownership Program (ADHOP)
On September 3, 1993, the ICHA entered into a Section 5(h) Agreement with
HUD. The purpose of this program is to create affordable home ownership oppor-
tunities throughout Iowa City. This agreement authorizes the ICHA to sell Public
Housing units and use the sales proceeds to construct or purchase homes for reha-
bilitation to continue the cycle. To ensure affordability, the ICHA provides a sec-
ond mortgage for the homeowners.
Broadway Sales Proceeds
ICHA received approval from HUD for the sale of 18 units at 1926/1946 Broadway
Street, Iowa City, Iowa. Per the approved plan submitted to HUD, the sales pro-
ceeds were to be used for the development of 18 low-density scattered site re-
placement units that would be more efficiently and effectively operated as lower
income housing. There is no other permissible use of these funds per the agree-
ment.
Public Housing Tenant Security Deposits
The ICHA holds security deposits until tenants vacate units. At that time, the ten-
ants receive a full or partial refund depending on such factors as remaining rental or
other charges outstanding and reimbursement of damage repairs. Tenant security
deposit cash is not available to ICHA for any other use.

File Date: May 19, 2022
60 Day Limitation Period: July 18, 2022
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, IWV Holdings LLC., has submitted a final plat application of IWV Commercial Park,
a 2-lot, 62.22-acre commercial subdivision located at the southwest corner of Slothower Road and
Melrose Avenue/IWV Road SW. The subject property was annexed into the City limits in November
2021. The application for annexation also included a comprehensive plan amendment to Intensive
Commercial and Public/Private Open Space. On January 18, 2022, the Council approved a
rezoning of approximately 53.36 acres from County Agricultural (A) to Intensive Commercial (CI-1),
approximately 17.03 from County Agricultural (A) to Interim Development Commercial (ID-C), and
approximately 9 acres from Rural residential (RR-1) to Intensive Commercial (CI-1) subject to the
following conditions:
a. Prior to issuance of any building permit, Owner shall plat the property herein rezoned
to follow the zoning boundaries.
i. Said plat shall show a buffer easement area generally 350’ wide consistent
with the comprehensive plan map. This easement area shall be governed by
an easement agreement, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney. This
easement area shall be planted according to a landscape plan approved by
the City Forester at such times as required by the subdivider’s agreement.
Landscaping within the buffer easement area shall meet the S3 standards
and include a mixture of deciduous and evergreen trees that will be at least
30’ tall upon maturity.
ii. Said plat shall include the dedication of right-of-way along the Slothower
Road frontage in a size and location approved by the City Engineer to allow
Slothower Road to be improved to City urban design standards.
b. Pursuant to Iowa City Code Title 15, Owner shall, contemporaneous with the final
plat approval, execute a subdivider’s agreement addressing, among other things,
the following conditions:
i. Owner shall contribute 25% of the cost of upgrading Slothower Road, south
3
of any future access, to collector street standards, adjacent to the subject
property.
ii. Owner shall install landscaping to the S3 standard along the Slothower Road
and IWV Road frontages;
iii. Improve Slothower Road to the southern end of any future access off
Slothower Road.
c. For all lots fronting IWV Road and Slothower Road, loading areas and outdoor
storage shall not be located between the front facade of the principal structure and
the public right-of -way line.
On February 15, 2022, the Council approved the preliminary plat (SUB21-0012) for IWV
Commercial Park.
ANALYSIS:
The final plat of IWV Commercial Park is in general compliance with the preliminary plat and
subdivision regulations. Legal papers and construction drawings are currently being reviewed by
staff. It is anticipated that these documents will be approved prior to the July 12, 2022 Council
meeting.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas: The southern ¼ of the subject properties contains a blue
line stream and a 50’ stream corridor buffer. The area also contains .37 acres of wooded
wetlands and .95 acres of emergent wetlands. The southern wetland is bordered by a 100’
wetland buffer. A Preliminary Sensitive Areas Development Plan was approved during the
rezoning. The final plat identifies conservation easement areas that align with the Preliminary
SADP, which will be protected from future development. The final plat also includes a vegetative
buffer easement area that is 350’ wide along the southern boundary of the subject properties,
which was a condition of the rezoning. The purpose is to provide a buffer from the future
intensive commercial land uses through additional landscaping. The legal documents note that
approval of a landscaping plan will be required prior to issuance of a building permit. The buffer
area will prohibit installation of structures, parking lots, drives aisles, or loading areas.
Construction and maintenance that is necessary for storm water management will be allowed.
Neighborhood Open Space: Per section 15-3-5-B of the City Code, there is no neighborhood
open space requirement since this is a commercial subdivision.
Transportation: The final plat shows the dedication of right-of-way along the Slothower Road
frontage in a size and location approved by the City Engineer to allow Slothower Road to be
improved to City urban design standards, which was a condition of the rezoning.
The final plat also includes a common access easement off of Melrose Avenue. Future access
off of Slothower Road will require a cross access easement agreement extending through Lots
1 and 2 for interior access to the subject property, which will be addressed in legal documents.
As conditions of the rezoning, the applicant will be required to improve Slothower Road from the
intersection of Melrose Avenue/IWV Road SW to the southern most access point into the
subdivision off Slothower Road. The applicant will also be required to provide 25% of the cost for
improvement to the remainder of the Slothower Road frontage south of the future access point.
These conditions will be addressed in legal documents anticipated to be approved by the time of
the July 12 City Council meeting.
Storm Water Management: Storm water management is provided via two separate basins that
are located in the southern ¼ of the subject properties. Public Works is reviewing the applicant’s
4
storm water management plan as part of the construction drawings. It is anticipated that
construction drawings will be approved prior to the July 12 City Council meeting.
Sanitary Sewer Service: Sanitary sewer service will be extended to the west along IWV Road
SW from the current endpoint east of the Slothower Road and Melrose Avenue/IWV Road SW
intersection.
Infrastructure Fees: Prior to the issuance of any building permit, the subdivider will be required to
pay to the City a water main extension fee in the amount of $31,332.13 ($503.57 per acre for
62.22 acres).
NEXT STEPS:
Once the final plat, construction drawings, and legal documents are approved and all improvements
have been accepted by the City, the applicant can submit site plan and building permit applications.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The final plat and legal documents address all rezoning conditions with the exception of the
condition restricting the location of loading areas and outdoor storage, which will be addressed at
site plan approval.
Therefore, staff recommends approval of SUB22-0004, the final plat of the IWV Commercial Park
subdivision, a 2-lot, 62.22-acre commercial subdivision located at the southwest corner of
Slothower Road and Melrose Avenue/IWV Road SW.

45 Day Limitation Period:
The applicant has waived the 45-day review
period.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Navigate Homes, is requesting approval for the rezoning of 27.68 acres from Interim
Development—Research Park (ID-RP) zone to Low Density Multi-Family Residential with a
Planned Development Overlay (OPD/RM-12) and a preliminary plat for land located east of Camp
Cardinal Blvd and west of Camp Cardinal Road. The Preliminary Plat, Planned Development
Overlay, and Sensitive Areas Development Plan is provided in Attachment 3. The proposed
development would allow for the development of 22 duplexes, 4 townhomes and 30 multi-family
units. For renderings of the multi-family building see Attachment 4.
The development proposes the extension of Deer Creek Road off Camp Cardinal Blvd through the
parcel connecting to Camp Cardinal Road. The proposed preliminary plat for the development is a
cul-de-sac - loop layout running north and south, lined by 22 duplexes. Following Deer Creek Road
east toward Camp Cardinal Road, the proposal includes a 30-unit multi-family complex (13 two
bedroom, 17 one-bedroom units) and 4 townhomes with additional duplexes on the south side of
Deer Creek.
The site contains regulated sensitive features including wetlands, woodlands, and slopes. The
Preliminary Sensitive Areas Development Plan proposes impacts to wetlands and modifications to
the 100’ wetland buffer requirement (14-5I-6), which requires a Level II Sensitive Areas Review. A
Level II Sensitive Areas Review requires submission of a Sensitive Areas Development Plan
3
(SADP). Furthermore, a Level II sensitive areas review is considered a type of planned development
and as such, must comply with the applicable approval criteria set forth in chapter 3, article A,
"Planned Development Overlay Zone (OPD)".
Good Neighbor Policy: The surrounding property owners have been notified of the proposed
rezoning and preliminary plat. A virtual Good Neighbor meeting was scheduled and took place on
February 1, 2022. A summary of the meeting is included in Attachment 5.
ANALYSIS:
Current zoning: The area is zoned as Interim Development—Research Park (ID-RP). This zone
is intended for areas of managed growth in which agricultural and other nonurban uses of land
may continue until the city is able to provide services and urban development can occur. The
interim development zone is the default zoning district to which all undeveloped areas should be
classified until city services are provided. Upon provision of city services, the City or the property
owner may initiate rezoning to zones consistent with the comprehensive plan, as amended.
Proposed zoning: The applicant is requesting to rezone the entire area (27.68 acres) to Low
Density Multi-Family with a Planned Development Overlay (OPD/RM-12). The purpose of the Low-
Density Multi-Family Residential Zone (RM-12) is to provide for the development of high density,
single-family housing and low density, multi-family housing. In this case, a mix of multi-family
housing units and duplex units provides a diverse variety of housing throughout the neighborhood,
as intended by RM-12 zoning. Because of this mixture, attention to site and building design is
important in this zone to ensure that these housing types are compatible with one another. Due to
impacts to the sensitive areas, a Planned Development Overlay is required. The OPD process
allows for a mixture of uses, provided that additional criteria in section 14-3A-4 and 14-3A-5 of the
City Code are met.
General Planned Development Approval Criteria: Applications for Planned Development
Rezonings are reviewed for compliance with the following standards according to Article 14-3A of
the Iowa City Zoning Ordinance.
1. The density and design of the Planned Development will be compatible with and/or
complementary to adjacent development in terms of land use, building mass and
scale, relative amount of open space, traffic circulation and general layout.
Density: The applicant is requesting a rezoning to an OPD/RM-12 zone, which allows for a density
of 15 dwelling units per net acre of land area (total land minus public and private streets right-of-
way). The proposed 30-unit complex, 4 townhomes, and 22 duplexes adds up to 78 total units
across the 25.02 acres of net site area, which equals 3.1 dwelling units per acre.
Land Uses Proposed: The applicant is proposing a mix of duplex and multi-family residential. There
are currently two areas to the west zoned RM-12 and one area to the southeast. The property to
the immediate west was rezoned to OPD/RM-12 in 2017 but remains undeveloped. The property
to the northwest also has RM-12 zoning with townhomes constructed, as well as ongoing townhome
development. Cardinal Villas Condominiums located southeast of the subject property is also zoned
as OPD/RM-12 with two multi-family buildings on the property. The area to the north is zoned
OPD/RS-8 and contains duplexes similar to those proposed. The addition of more duplexes and
multi-family housing to the area will complement the existing, ongoing, and future development
plans in the area.
Mass, Scale, and General Layout: Due to the potential impacts of the sensitive areas, the
development layout is more compact instead of spreading out over the property. The proposed
duplexes are located on the western edge of the site off a cul-de-sac street to the north of Deer
Creek Road and a loop street to the south of Deer Creek Road. Additional duplexes front Deer
4
Creek Road to the east along with the proposed 30-unit multi-family buildings and townhomes. The
multifamily and townhomes cannot exceed 35 feet in height and have a footprint of 12,000 square
feet and 3,660 square feet respectively.
The OPD plan shows duplex footprints with the access to garages from the front façade. 14-3A-
4K-1c-(2) requires garages and off-street parking areas be located so that they do not dominate
the streetscape. Alley or private rear lane access will be required, unless garages are recessed
behind the front facade of the dwelling in a manner that allows the residential portion of the
dwelling to predominate along the street. This standard will be reviewed at site plan and building
permitting stage to ensure full compliance to the requirement.
Open Space: The proposed development will need to comply with private open space standards,
outlined in section 14-2B-4E of the City Code. For the 30-unit complex, the calculation comes out
to be 430 square feet of private open space required (10 SF per bedroom, 43 total bedrooms in
complex). The duplexes require a minimum of 300 SF per dwelling and the townhomes require
minimum 150 SF of useable open space. The applicant is aware of these open space standards as
they are listed on the preliminary plat. The OPD plans shows 10,000 square feet of on-site open
space for the multi-family uses. Additionally, the preliminary plat includes two outlots totaling 16.76
acres that contain regulated sensitive areas that will be placed in conservation easement at final
platting.
Traffic Circulation: The proposed development will have access off of Camp Cardinal Blvd through
an extension of Deer Creek Road. The extension of Deer Creek Road will provide access to the
entire site and, until Camp Cardinal Rd and a proposed traffic circle at the intersection of Deer Creek
Road and Camp Cardinal Road are constructed, Deer Creek Road will provide temporary access
to Camp Cardinal Road. This will provide a secondary access, if needed. The subdivision code 15-
3-2K authorizes the City to request an applicant to contribute 50% of the reconstruction cost of
bringing the segment of the subject street that abuts the subject property to city standards. As a
condition to the rezoning, owner shall contribute 50% of the cost of upgrading Camp Cardinal Road
to City standards prior to issuance of building permit. The infrastructure also requires traffic calming
devices. The contribution shall include 50% of the cost of construction of the traffic circle at the
intersection of Deer Creek Road and Camp Cardinal Road.
2. The development will not overburden existing streets and utilities.
The property can be serviced by both sanitary sewer and water. Access to the site will be provided
through the extension of Deer Creek Road, which will connect to both Camp Cardinal Blvd and
Camp Cardinal Road.
3. The development will not adversely affect views, light and air, property values and
privacy of neighboring properties any more than would a conventional
development.
The nearest neighbors to the north of the subject property are separated by a woodland
preservation area and a stream corridor. The nearest neighbors to the east and southeast will
also remain separated due to the preservation of woodlands. The proposed development does
not adversely affect views, light and air, property values and privacy of neighboring properties any
more than would a conventional development.
4. The combination of land uses and building types and any variation from the
underlying zoning requirements or from City street standards will be in the public
interest, in harmony with purpose of this Title, and with other building regulations.
The proposed development is not seeking any waivers or variations from the underlying zoning
requirements. Additionally, the proposed RM-12 zone allows the proposed mix of residential land
5
uses proposed. The proposed multi-family building, duplexes, and townhomes provide a range of
housing options. When factoring in both the total building area occupied (approximately 2.27
acres or 98,800 SF) and the total area occupied by R.O.W. (2.61 acres), the total lot coverage is
equal to approximately 15.5%. Meaning, approximately 84.5% of the net site area will remain free
of buildings, parking, and vehicular maneuvering areas. The mix of housing, the extension of Deer
Creek Road, and the preservation of sensitive features are in the public interest.
Compliance with Comprehensive Plan: The area does not have a district plan hence, the
proposed development is reviewed according to the IC2030 Comprehensive Plan.
The Future Land Use Map of the IC2030 Comprehensive Plan identifies the subject property as
appropriate for residential development at a density of 8-16 dwelling units per acre. As previously
stated, the subject property proposes around 3.1 dwelling units per net acre. This density is
actually below what is envisioned in the plan; however, the site is constrained due to the sensitive
features.
The IC2030 Comprehensive Plan encourages urban growth through compact and connected
neighborhoods. The Preliminary Plat, Planned Development Overlay, and Sensitive Areas
Development Plan demonstrates a commitment to these goals by providing wide interconnected
sidewalks and a variety of housing types that as noted in the Comprehensive Plan, “Ensure a mix
of housing types within each neighborhood to provide options for households of all types and
people of all incomes”.
The Comprehensive Plan is also aimed at encouraging pedestrian-oriented development and
attractive and functional streetscapes that make it safe, convenient, and comfortable to walk. The
applicant is showing sidewalks along both sides of Maclan Court and Dear Creek Road. The plan
also shows a sidewalk along Maclan Loop and connected to the Deer Creek sidewalk on the
subject property. The sidewalk along Deer Creek will connect to the existing sidewalk along Camp
Cardinal Blvd.
Although the comprehensive plan discourages cul-de-sacs and emphasizes stub streets for future
connectivity, the proposed development is limited due to sensitive areas and existing
neighborhood constraints. Specifically, due to the layout of the neighborhood to the north, which
incorporates a loop street, connecting with that existing neighborhood is not possible. By
proposing development on the most buildable portion of the property, and thereby preserving the
natural areas of the property, the development aligns with the goals of the comprehensive plan.
Subdivision Design: The proposed subdivision contains 23 residential lots and two outlots. Outlot
A is noted on the preliminary plat as open space area to be maintained by the homeowner’s
association. Outlot B will also contain open space to be maintained by the HOA, but it will also
include a storm water management area. Additionally, the preliminary plat shows a conservation
easement area that will ensure the preservation of sensitive resources. The subject plat proposes
the designation of 2.61 acres of public right of way though the extension of Deer Creek Road. This
also includes the construction of Maclan Court and Maclan Loop from Deer Creek Road. Maclan
Court is proposed as a cul-de-sac lined by 12 duplexes. Maclan Loop is a loop street lined by
another 7 duplexes proposed. East of these streets and along Deer Creek Road are the proposed
4 townhomes, housing complex, and the remaining 3 duplexes.
According to section 15-3-2A-4 of the City Code, cul-de-sacs should be avoided unless it can be
demonstrated that existing constraints prevent the extension of the street to access existing
streets within or abutting the subdivision. Due to sensitive area constraints, as well as the northern
neighborhoods providing no access point due to loop street systems, there is not an outlet for
through street access. Because of these constraints on the property, the applicant proposes
Maclan Court ending in a cul-de-sac. Staff supports the proposed cul-de-sac design since
previous iterations with a loop street resulted in greater impact on sensitive features.

Environmentally Sensitive Areas: The subject property contains regulated wetlands,
woodlands, and slopes. The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Sensitive Areas Development
Plan as part of the OPD rezoning. Due to the proposed disturbance of wetlands and associated
buffers, a Level II Sensitive Areas Review is required.
Jurisdictional Wetlands – The City’s Sensitive Areas Ordinance requires a 100 ft. buffer to be
maintained between a regulated wetland and any development activity (14-5I-6E-1). The
Ordinance does allow for buffer averaging to be permitted where an increased buffer is deemed
necessary or desirable to provide additional protection to one area of a wetland for aesthetic or
environmental reasons. The applicant has chosen to request buffer averaging, as wetlands and
wetland buffers are proposed to be impacted. As required by 14-5I-6E-2, no buffer will be reduced
by more than 50% and all provided buffers will be equal to or greater than what is reduced.
Additionally, the applicant proposes a buffer reduction for the wetland located at the southeastern
corner of the subject property. According to 14-5I-6E-3b of the City Code, a wetland buffer may
be reduced by up to 50’ if the standards of the of the previously mentioned section are met, as
demonstrated by a wetland specialist. A wetland specialist has determined that all standards of
14-5I-6E-2 and 14-5I-6E-3b are met. Staff finds that the proposed buffer averaging, and buffer
reduction can be justified as demonstrated by a wetland specialist and will meet the requirements
of the City Code.
The existing wetland is comprised of approximately 0.90 acres. Approximately 14% of the existing
wetlands will be disturbed or 0.059 acres to accommodate leveling of some lots and stormwater
management. Per 14-5I-6G, staff has required the applicant to provide mitigation for the proposed
disturbance to the existing wetland. Compensatory mitigation for the impacts to a 0.015-acre
forested wetland will be provided at a ratio of 1:2. Compensatory mitigation for the southern
wetland areas will be provided at a ratio of 1:1.5. The applicant has proposed to meet the City’s
wetland mitigation requirements by providing onsite wetland mitigation. Specifically, the applicant
will provide 0.096 acres of wetland to mitigate the loss of 0.059 acres of wetlands.
Woodlands – As shown in Table 2, the subject property has approximately 22.9 acres of woodlands.
The preliminary SADP shows that the development proposes to disturb 9.35 acres (55.8%) of
woodlands on the subject property. An additional 3.43 acres will remain unimpacted but located
within the 50’ woodland buffer area. The disturbed woodlands and buffer area total 12.78 acres
(55.8%), leaving roughly 44.2% (10.12 acres) unimpacted which is above the 20% woodland
retention allowed per the sensitive areas ordinance.

Steep, Critical, and Protected Slopes – The subject property contains critical and protected
slopes. The impacts to these slopes are outlined in Table 3. Approximately 19.3% of critical
slopes are proposed to be impacted, which is below the 35% of critical slopes that are allowed to
be impacted per the sensitive areas ordinance. The sensitive areas ordinance only allows impacts
to protected slopes if they are manmade or needed for necessary infrastructure through a Level II
sensitive areas review. The approximately 10.3% of protected slopes that will be impacted are
either manmade slopes or for the construction of the storm water basin.

Archaeological Sites – Staff reached out to the State archaeologist and inquired about needing
an archaeological study for the site. Staff was informed that a study was conducted in 2004 and
there are no current concerns with the site.
Neighborhood Open Space: According to section 14-5K of the City code, dedication of public
open space or fee in lieu of land dedication is addressed at the time of final platting for residential
subdivisions. Based on the 27.68 acres of RM-12 zoning, the developer would be required to
dedicate 1.87 acres to the City or pay a fee in-lieu of land dedication.
Storm Water Management: All storm water management requirements for this site are being
met in the existing regional retention basin located on the west side of Camp Cardinal Blvd and
the proposed stormwater detention basin in Outlot B. Public Works staff have reviewed and
approved the preliminary storm water management plans. Additional review will occur at the time
of final platting.
Sanitary Sewer Service: The development is serviced by a previously approved sanitary sewer
plan of improvements that was originally proposed for development on the west side of Camp
Cardinal Blvd. The proposed sanitary sewer line is located at the north end of the subject property.
Correspondence: Staff has received public correspondence (Attachment 6) from neighboring
residents voicing both concern and support for the proposed development. Generally, the
concerns expressed relate to traffic and impacts on property values.
NEXT STEPS:
Upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, a public hearing will be
scheduled for consideration by the City Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of REZ22-0001, a proposal to rezone approximately 27.68 acres of
land located east of Camp Cardinal Blvd and west of Camp Cardinal Road from Interim
Development – Research Park (ID-RP) zone to Low Density Multifamily Residential with a
Planned Development Overlay (OPD/RM-12) zone subject to the following condition:
1. Prior to issuance of building permit, Owner shall contribute 50% of the cost of upgrading
Camp Cardinal Road to City standards. This contribution shall include 50% of the cost of
construction of the traffic circle at the intersection of Deer Creek Road and Camp Cardinal
Road.
Staff also recommends approval of SUB22-0001, a preliminary plat for Cardinal Heights.

Neighbors were not particularly excited about potentially losing some privacy and seeing the private
woodland area behind their home being disturbed. Applicant explained the closest proposed home will be
approximately 400' from any existing home and will be buffered by existing woodlands and drainage way.
The proposed development will be at an elevation of at least 50' higher than the existing homes.
Old trees were cut down but never removed from previous work that started but was never completed.
Project will cause increased traffic
Storm water runoff
Proposed building proximity to existing homes
Construction trash
Added additional stormwater detention basin
Added proposed trees along north boundary to provided additional screening for existing homes

Anne,
I am an owner of Cardinal Villas at 30 and 80 Gathering Place Lane. I received notification of the
rezoning request for IC Grove East and while I am generally in favor of the request, I do have some
comments;
It appears that Deer Creek Road will be stubbed to Camp Cardinal Road with the intention of later
adding a traffic circle. If this connection is to provide 2ndary egress, it would be potentially putting
an increased amount of traffic on a section of gravel road from the intersection southward to
Gathering Place Lane.
This section of road has been the source of erosion in the form of gravel washing down into the
intersection of Camp Cardinal Road and Gathering Place Ln. The increase in traffic on the gravel
portion will create more dust and the intersection of Camp Cardinal Road and Camp Cardinal Blvd is
already a dangerous place to pull out of due to the reduced visibility on the curve and the high speed
of traffic (well above posted limit) on Camp Cardinal Blvd. Perhaps a signal at that intersection
would help.
All that being said, I like the project and I believe it will add synergy to the area.

Consideration should be given to Increase in traffic on Camp Cardinal Blvd, which has already increased
substantially in the last nine years.
Aesthetically the new development could impact property value of some existing homes in that area. In my
opinion, townhomes and duplexes would fit in best rather than large apartment complex.

We share a duplex with Steve and Chris Hedlund. Their address is 864 Ryan Ct, Iowa City and our address is 862
Ryan Ct. The Hedlund’s and us are adjacent to the property that is subject to the rezoning request on Camp Cardinal
Blvd. We attached our written statements that we would like the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider. We
also request that the statements be included in the administrative record for the rezoning request. Unfortunately, the
Hedlund’s and us are out of town and will not be able to testify in the public meeting on Wednesday.
Dan Fishburn and Mark Gedlinske sent you written statements earlier today. We would like the record to reflect
that we agree with their statements.
We appreciate the work you and your staff have done on the rezoning request.
Sincerely
Erik and Carol Winborn

Commimission Members,
Subject rezoning South of Ryan Ct.:
Our major concerns are drainage and the removal of trees coming down the slope toward our
homes. We are going to request that the two buildings at the north end of the project shown
on the plan (4 units) be eliminated so that trees will not be removed coming down the hill.
We also want the City to understand that we have major concerns with drainage. We are
experiencing erosion in the drainage creek behind our homes, particularly at the east end. We
believe the City needs to update the storm water management plan for the entire area given
all of the recent construction activity.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Connor Moellenbeck, is seeking a rezoning from High Density Multi-Family
Residential with a Historic District Overlay (OHD/RM-44) to Neighborhood Commercial with
a Historic District Overlay (OHD/CN-1) for a 1,470 square foot property located at 518
Bowery Street. The applicant intends to open a coffee shop at the subject property.
The subject property contains a one and a half story building with a one-story addition. The
building was originally constructed sometime between 1856-1864 as a grocery store by
John M. Haas. Having been established as a commercial business prior to the adoption of
a zoning code by the City in the mid-1920s, the property has continued to be used for non-
residential purposes on the ground floor throughout its existence. The existing 720 square-
foot building was originally used as a grocery store, and historic records show continued
use as a grocery store from 1895 until the early 1970s when it served as the first home of
the New Pioneer Cooperative Society. A retail establishment, the House of Jade, moved in
when the New Pioneer moved out in 1975. Records show a brief tenancy by Helen Caldicott
Community School in 1983. More recently the building was used by Zaza’s Pasta and then
as an office.
In 2012, the property was designated a Local Historic Landmark. The historic designation
protects the building from demolition as well as exterior modification that would diminish its
historic integrity. The designation also makes the property eligible for certain exceptions
3
and zoning waivers to allow the continued use of the property.
In 2012 the property was granted a special exception to allow for sales-oriented retail use
and then in 2016 was granted a special exception for general office and commercial retail
(EXC12-000010 and EXC16-00010). These special exceptions allowed the continuance of
commercial uses within a residential zone. Since the building has remained vacant for over
a year, the property has lost its non-conforming use status and cannot receive a special
exception for a different non-conforming use. In 2013 there was another special exception
application submitted to convert the sales-oriented retail use to a coffee shop, the
application was ultimately withdrawn. Given the size of the property and structure, it is not
possible for the property to be re-adapted for a multi-family use and single-family residential
is not allowed within the zoning district.
The applicant wishes to establish another Daydrink coffee shop location at the property.
Their mission is to provide high quality coffee while preventing continued adoption of
“single-use” plastic. Daydrink only use glass jars for to-go containers with the hope of
creating a more sustainable focused community.
The applicant held a good neighbor meeting on July 27, 2022, but no one from the public
attended.
ANALYSIS:
Current Zoning: The property is currently zoned as High-Density Multi-Family
Residential with a Historic Preservation Overlay (OHD/RM-44). RM-44 zoning provides
areas for development of high-density, multi-family dwellings and group living quarters but
does not allow single-family or duplex dwellings. The zone allows, as a provisional use,
hospitality-oriented retail (hotels, guest houses, meeting or event facilities), but does not
allow any other retail or commercial uses. Through a special exception, community
service uses are allowed. The purpose of High-Density Multi-Family Residential is for
high-density multi-family housing located in proximity to downtown, the University, or
other employment centers. The minimum lot requirement for a non-residential use in RM-
44 zoning is 5,000 square feet; minimum frontage is 35 feet; front setback is 20 feet; the
required side setback is 10 feet. The property does not meet any of these minimum
dimensional standards. The property does meet the rear 20 feet setback standards.
The property is a Local Historic Landmark and is listed in the National Register of Historic
Places. Changes to the exterior of the building would require review by the Historic
Preservation Commission. The Historic District Overlay will still apply if the underlying
zone is changed to CN-1.
Proposed Zoning: The purpose of the Neighborhood Commercial Zone (CN-1) is to
promote small-scale retail sales and personal service uses in a neighborhood shopping
area. The zoning encourages neighborhood shopping areas that are conveniently located
and that primarily serve nearby residential neighborhoods and promote pedestrian-
oriented development at an intensity level that is compatible with surrounding residential
areas. Allowed uses are restricted in size to promote smaller, neighborhood-serving
businesses and to limit adverse impacts on nearby residential areas. Unlike the RM-44
zone, the CN-1 zone does not have a minimum lot area requirement nor a minimum
frontage requirement. The front setback requirement is 5’ and the side and rear
4
setbacks are 0’ unless the property abuts a non-residential zone, which is the case with
the rear boundary of the subject property.
Uses allowed in the CN-1 zone are outlined in Table 1.

Coffee shops are classified as Eating Establishments. Eating establishments are
provisionally allowed in CN-1 if they meet certain standards (see 14-4B-4-B-10), such
as a maximum occupancy load of 100, which can be increased through a special
exception. Additionally, drive-throughs are prohibited.
Given the proximity to adjacent residential uses, staff recommends a condition that
commercial uses may not be open to the public between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and
7:00 a.m. This helps to ensure the commercial use of the property remains compatible
with nearby residential properties and to minimize activities that may be injurious to the
use and enjoyment of residential uses in the vicinity. A similar condition was also
recommended for Deluxe Bakery’s rezoning (REZ17-0006).
Parking: The property has two parking spots. Eating establishments require 1 space
per 150 square feet or 1/3 the occupant load, whichever is less. Depending on the
floorplan, which is yet to be determined, the proposed use could require 4 off-street
5
parking spaces. Staff has notified the applicant that the property is eligible for a parking
reduction via special exception due to its local historic landmark status and one may be
needed for the proposed coffee shop. On-street parking along the portion of Bowery
Street is prohibited during daytime business hours. Additionally, there is a high demand
for on-street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Rezoning Review Criteria:
Staff uses the following two criteria in the review of rezoning:
1. Consistency with the comprehensive plan.
2. Compatibility with the existing neighborhood character.
Compliance with Comprehensive Plan:
The Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan identifies this property as
appropriate for multi-family residential development at a density of 25+ dwelling units per
acre. The Central District Plan Future Land Use Map has the subject property designated
as High-Density Multi-Family Redevelopment. This land use category is targeted at the
redevelopment of existing multi-family where living conditions are less than ideal due to
a lack of adequate pedestrian amenities and little open space. The plan category notes
that possible redevelopment scenarios will need to be assessed prior to redevelopment.
Due to the subject property’s local landmark status, demolition of the building will not
happen unless the building was structurally unsound.
Although the proposed rezoning does not directly align with the land use policy direction
outlined in the Comprehensive Plan and the Central District Plan, there are several goals
and policies within the plans that support the rezoning. The Comprehensive Plan
encourages sustainable and walkable neighborhoods and envisions neighborhood
commercial uses as contributing to the quality of life within neighborhoods. The Plan
states:
Neighborhood commercial areas can provide a focal point and gathering place
for a neighborhood. The businesses within a neighborhood commercial center
should provide shopping opportunities within convenient walking distance for
the residents in the immediate area. The design of the neighborhood
commercial center should have a pedestrian orientation with the stores placed
close to the street, but with sufficient open space to allow for outdoor cafes and
patios or landscaping. Parking should be located to the rear and sides of stores
with additional parking on the street (IC2030: Comprehensive Plan Update
page 22).
The Comprehensive Plan also has goals about establishing strategies to retain and
encourage growth of existing locally owned businesses, and recognize that small, and
independently owned, local businesses are integral to Iowa City’s ‘brand’ and sense of
identity (IC2030: Comprehensive Plan Update page 32). Also, to promote economic
growth, encourage a healthy mix of local businesses and support entrepreneurial activity.
Allowing the rezoning of this property, allows for the city to create space for neighborhood
commercial. Additionally, since this building is currently vacant, a rezoning can help with
infill development which is another goal in the comprehensive plan (IC2030:
Comprehensive Plan Update page 7).
6
The Central District Plan acknowledges several properties originally developed with
buildings that served as neighborhood grocery stores and have remained, over time as
non-conforming commercial uses. These include the Design Ranch Building on Dodge
Street, the former Seaton’s Meat Market, Watt’s Grocery on Muscatine, and Deluxe
Bakery on South Summit Street. This property is like the other properties in that it has
historically been commercial in a residential zone. Keeping these buildings as their
original type of use create neighborhood commercial areas that serve as the focal point
of a neighborhood (Central District Plan page 3).
Iowa City’s Historic Preservation Plan also has goals to protect historic resources through
efficient legislation and regulatory measures (Goal 2). The Plan also recommends that
the City adopt strategies to conserve historic neighborhoods which reflect their organic
development, historical roles and traditions, modern needs, and economic health and
stability (Goal 10).
Compatibility with Existing Neighborhood Character: This building has operated
with non-residential uses since the building was built. This property has contained a
grocery store, retail businesses, and offices, all as non-conforming uses. Those
previous uses were compatible with the surrounding neighborhood character. As noted
by the Comprehensive Plan, neighborhood commercial contributes to the quality of life
in the neighborhood.
When the building was built over 150 years ago, it was deliberately built along a main
thoroughfare near a high traffic area, to attract business (National Register of Historic
Places nomination, page 11, 16, and 19). The building being in a high-density area
allows for pedestrian traffic for people who live in the immediate area.
Traffic Implications: Due to the size of the lot, the limited ability to provide off -street
parking, and the small amount of street parking on the surrounding streets, these would
be a deterrent to people driving to the site. Any business on this property will have to
rely on customers coming on foot or bike from the surrounding neighborhood. The
property is in an established, high-density neighborhood. The neighborhood has easy
pedestrian and biking access and is close to the University and downtown.
SUMMARY: In summary, Staff supports the rezoning of 518 Bowery Street from High
Density Multi-Family Residential with a Historic District Overlay (OHD/RM-44) Zone to
Neighborhood Commercial with a Historic District Overlay (OHD/CN-1) Zone. Both the
Comprehensive Plan and the Central District Plan contain language about having
commercial uses in neighborhoods to help strengthen the community and increase the
diversity of neighborhoods. The Historic Preservation Plan contains goals to protect
historic resources through regulatory measures and conserve historic neighborhoods.
NEXT STEPS:
Upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the rezoning will be
considered by the City Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the application submitted by Connor Mollenbeck for a rezoning from
High Density Multi-Family Residential with a Historic Preservation (OHD/RM-44) to
Neighborhood Commercial with a Historic Preservation Overlay (OHD/CN-1) for a 1,470
7
square foot property located at 518 Bowery Street be approved, subject to the following
conditions:
1.Any commercial use may not be open to the public between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00
a.m.

Executive S ummary:
T he C ity currently owns land located at 724 R onalds Street. T he property, which included a single
family home, was acquired in a sheriff’s sale on D ecember 13, 2016 for $86,800. T he home had
a long history of nuisance violations dating back to 1987. Due to years of neglect and code
violations, the B uilding Of f icial determined the structure was a dangerous building and the home
was demolished in 2022.
T he C ity received a purchase of f er by T he Housing F ellowship to acquire the property for
$75,400, the assessed value of the land. T he Housing F ellowship intends to construct up to two
single f amily homes for af f ordable housing through the S tudent B uilt P rogram in partnership with
the I owa City Community School D istrict and the Home Builder ’s A ssociation, Vocational Training
Council.
T he public hearing to convey the land is set for A ugust 16, 2022.
Background / Analysis:
T he requested proposal is a collaborative effort between the City, the Housing Fellowship, the local
HB A Vocational Training Council (VT C), and the Iowa City Community School District. Under the
proposal the City would sell the lot to the Housing Fellowship to own, develop, and manage the
home(s) built as affordable rental housing for families. T he VT C would manage the construction and
the ICCS D instructor would provide the instruction and student labor to help build the home(s). T he
venture will offer several benefits for Iowa City. It will help address the affordable housing shortage,
implement City climate action goals, create infill walkable housing, and introduce students to career
opportunities.
T his project will introduce ICCSD students to great paying, vital careers in the trades. T he trades are
in dire need of skilled employees. T here are roughly 4,000 job vacancies in Iowa, with that number
expected to increase by at least 7% by 2030. T he IC C SD will provide a full-time program instructor
who will lead the instruction, on and off site, supervising the students in hands on construction of the
home. GT Karr, current HB A VT C chair, will manage the project. It will be based on the prior ICCS D
Student Build program, as well as building on the recent success of the Student Remodel in 2021
(South District Homeownership Program), and the 2022 Residential Construction Confidence Course
for Women.
T he property is zoned RS-8, and the lot is 80’x150’. Due to the zoning and the alley along the north
side, it may be possible to split the lot into two 40’x150’ lots to allow T he Housing Fellowship to build
two single family homes. T he Housing Fellowship will procure the financing, with the intent to build
one home in the 2023-2024 school year and, if feasible, a second the following school year. T his
schedule allows time for all parties to work through the design and planning process.
T he Housing Fellowship plans to request funds for the acquisition of the lot through the City’s
Affordable Housing Fund, Opportunity Fund. T his request and grant agreement will be on the August
16, 2022 City Council agenda for consideration.
T he lot is in the Brown Street Historic District. T he design of the home(s) are required to be submitted
to the Historic Preservation Commission for review and issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness.
T he home(s) must reflect the historic style of the neighborhood and be 1 ½ to 2 stories in height. T he
Housing Fellowship plans on holding a Good Neighbor Meeting to discuss the project before they
submit plans to the Historic Preservation Commission for review.

Just a quick note of support for the Ronalds St partnership with Housing Fellowship and HBA:
We need more affordable rental housing for larger families
We need more people trained in the building trades, especially environmentally -responsible practices

T he A merican R escue P lan Act of 2021 allocated HO ME -A R P funds to the C ity of I owa City to
address the needs of households experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable populations.
To receive these funds, the C ity must submit a HO ME -A R P Allocation Plan as a substantial

A public meeting and resolution considering approval of the Substantial A mendment to the F Y21
Annual Action P lan, which formally describes the distribution of HO ME -A R P f unds, will be held at
the City Council meeting on August 16, 2022.
Background / Analysis:
City staf f and HC D C propose S ubstantial Amendment #1 to the F Y21 Annual A ction P lan to
include the HO ME-A R P A llocation P lan. T he A merican R escue P lan A ct of 2021 appropriated $5
billion to communities across the U.S . to provide housing, services, and shelter to individuals
experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable populations. T hese funds were allocated by
formula to jurisdictions that qualified for funding through the HO M E Investment Partnership Program
(HOME Program).
T he City of Iowa City was allocated $1,789,981 in HOME-ARP funds to carry out these activities.
Applications for competitive H OME-AR P funds were received in June, 2022. HCDC formulated
funding recommendations on July 28th. T hrough the competitive funding round, Iowa City received
applications from four agencies for HOME-ARP funding. Summary of the applications received is
included in the HOME-ARP Allocation Recommendation (Appendix B). Additional information on
specific applications can be found at www.icgov.org/actionplan.
T he City did not allocate the full amount of H OME-AR P funds available. T he Iowa Finance Authority
(IFA) indicated that they are considering requiring State HOME-ARP applicants to leverage local
HOME-ARP funding as match in their future funding round. On last consultation with IFA, this decision
was not yet made and likely would not be determined until at least December 2022. Staff recommends
holding $301,739 in reserves for a future funding round after IFA announces their requirements for
State HOME-ARP funds.
T he draft HOME-ARP Allocation Plan was made available for public comment on July 21, 2022.
HCDC received and recommended approval of the draft at the July 28, 2022 meeting. At the time of
this submittal the City has not received any comments.

DISCUSS HOME-ARP ALLOCATION PLAN AND CONSIDER BUDGET RECOMMENDATION TO CITY
COUNCIL:
Kubly explained the City received about almost 1.8 million dollars in HOME-ARP funds through the
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) but this isn't the ARPA funds that the City received this is a separate
pool of money was received because the City is HOME funding recipients, but it did come out of the same
federal act. Eligible activities are development and support of affordable housing, tenant -based rent
assistance, provision of supportive services, and acquisition and development of non-congregate shelter
units. Kubly stated when they do HOME projects such as a rental project they're typically serving
someone under 60% of the area median income so they're looking at income as the qualifying factor that
makes them eligible for the program, however these HOME-ARP funds have a phrase called qualifying
population so it's not technically based on income but the eligibility is people experiencing homelessness,
or at risk of homelessness, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stopping human trafficking
and other populations with high risk of housing instability. Some of the HOME rules are the same and
some of them are very different so staff developed an allocation plan and that's what they must submit to
HUD in order to get the funds. A portion of the m oney is going to be for the City staff who's administering
the programs and then for the rest of it they did an application process for people to apply for those funds.
Kubly stated they ended up getting four applications, Shelter House with supportive services for
permanent support housing, Iowa Legal Aid for legal services to increase housing stability, Domestic
Violence Intervention Program for construction of the shelter that they're building, and then United Action
for Youth applied for their transitional living program. Staff scored the applications and made a funding
recommendation which is within the allocation plan, staff is looking for a recommendation of the plan as a
whole but also if the Commission has edits to the allocation staff is open to hearing about that as well.
The process for this plan was staff had to do some consultation with agencies that serve the qualifying
populations and they started at the local homeless coordinating board and talked to all those agencies
and then had some consultations with various agencies outside of that. Staff also completed a needs
assessment and gap analysis and identified what gaps there are in services and how they can fill those
gaps. Kubly included the scoring criteria that staff used and how they got those scores and how they
allocated it in the agenda packed. Cassie Gripp is administering these funds and she wrote a memo of
the thought process as staff were evaluating the projects. The next step would be to take this
recommendation from the Comm ission to City Council for approval and then submit it to HUD and with
their approval the City could start the projects.
Dennis asked if the budget received is set in stone because the amount that was budgeted for non -
congregate shelter was $500,000 but DVIP applied for $750,000 so is that okay? Kubly explained their
recommendation was $500,000 for that project based on the scores. Dennis acknowledged that but
could they apply for $750,000 when there is only $500,000 in that fund. Kubly explained when they
solicited the applications, they did not have the money into different categories, they did that after they
received the applications. Kubly also mentioned they have about $300,000 in reserves because the State
has HOME-ARP and they're offering if Iowa City organizations want to apply for State funding, they need
to have a local match, so staff set aside money to leverage that State funding down the road. The state is
not ready to do their process yet, but staff is thinking that an agency might need a local allocation to
obtain that State money.
Marilla-Kapp stated the only question she had was whether that was the reason for giving those two
agencies with lower scores a percentage of their request, is that a standard way of operating that an
agency would get a percentage rather than the total based on scores. Kubly responded if the City has

July 28, 2022

the funds to use then and projects were eligible, they’d probably fully fund everything, they just also
wanted to make sure that they had a sufficient pot to match the State money.
Dennis asked if the applicants here could apply for State funds and Kubly confirmed that is correct, if it
was a separate project that the City didn't already fund locally, they wouldn't be eligible unless the City
gave them local HOME-ARP money.
Reedus asked if both the DVIP and Shelter House are projects that the Commission funded just a couple
months ago. Kubly believes so, the DVIP shelter construction was given $425,000 in CDBG money for
the same project and for Shelter House this is for the 501 project for operational expenses.
Reedus noted for United Action for Youth, she is a little troubled by them, number one they're the lowest
score and they're only getting half their recommendations - $30,000. She understands that they scored
low because they didn't specifically identify homeless youth as a subpopulation with greatest need, did
staff reach out to them to ask if that was a mistake or is it that homeless youth are not going to be the
population served. Kubly stated they would be serving homeless youth or at risk of being homeless youth
but when staff did their consultation that wasn't one of the strongest needs identified.
Mohammed asked why these applications are only graded by the staff and not by the Commissioners.
Kubly replied because this is funding that the City doesn’t typically get, and it was more of a timing issue.
It is a complicated program but if the Commission felt strongly about wanting to score these applications,
they could defer this and do that process.
Reedus asked if it would it be a problem if the Commission wanted to move United Action for Youth up to
$45,000 and take $15,000 from one of the other large pots. Kubly noted they could do that, but staff cut it
in half because they were doing two different properties and with half, they would be able to serve one
property. She is sure that they could work with additional funds and maybe serve an additional
household so that would be an option. They could take it f rom the reserves and still have about
$300,000.
Marilla-Kapp asked if they have had other agencies reach out after this application process to suggest
that they might want to pursue that reserve pool or is it just for in case they're not disqualified from the
State. Kubly replied they did have a couple agencies reach out and if the City ends up not getting any
requests for a local match with State funds, they could just do another funding round.
Dennis noted DVIP has to raise a lot of money to do this project and so what's the timeline to commit the
funds and then to have them expended for the HOME-ARP funding. Kubly stated they have until
September 2030 to spend these funds, but the plan is to try to keep within the HOME statutory
requirements of a two-year commitment and a four-year completion.
Dennis stated she is comfortable with the staff recommendation and also supports adding $15,000 to
UAY. She did ask with the UAY teen mom transitional housing aren't those residents of those homes
considered homeless because it's really transitional housing. Kubly confirmed they would be homeless or
at risk of homelessness, which shows a need and meeting the criteria and definitely be eligible for the
HOME-ARP funds, but staff was trying to tie it the needs assessment to what they heard that was the
greatest need in the community.
Reedus moved to recommend that Council increase United Action for Youth funding from $30,000
to $45,000 with the $15,000 increase coming from the HOME-ARP reserve funds. Dennis seconded
the motion, a vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0.
Dennis moved to recommend that Council approve the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan with the

REVIEW AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF FY24 LEGACY AID TO AGENCIES APPLICATION
MATERIALS:
Beining noted the packet includes proposed application materials for FY24 Aid to Agencies and a staff
memo on the upcoming process.
Reedus asked if the recommendation was that they’re not going to make any changes to the Legacy
Agency process this year. Thul confirmed the staff recommendation was to go through the process with
the current scoring criteria once to see if there are flaws or things that they’d want to change in the future.
Staff felt that the scoring process hadn’t truly been tested yet.
Reedus noted this is a joint funding application and she knows recommendations have been made for
United Way to change it and it never gets changed. Reedus wants to know if they are wasting their time
by making recommendations and asked if the City has the ability to get the changes made to the
application. Thul confirmed the City met with United Way and that they can make changes to the
application itself. Reedus has two things on the application, on page 7, agency demographics, those
should be program specific and there are some agencies that are so small that they only have one
program that they're asking their money for because everything they do is dedicated to the one mission.
An example of that might be Big Brothers Big Sisters or the Free Lunch Program. And then there are
other agencies that are very large and have different programs they support, for example Community has
one side of its agency dedicated to crisis intervention and the other side dedicated to food insecurity and
then there's another side dedicated to financial assistance, so asking for agency demographics can be
difficult. The information that's presented in an application should help the decision maker to make the
best decision possible about how to allocate funds and if she sees that the numbers are substantially
increased in a program that they've been funding because of specific need. Again, using Communit y as
an example, right now housing and food insecurity are huge issues, the cost of groceries is going up and
she is interested to see what they are are looking at in terms of numbers. And there may be another
agency or program that they're funding that may be stagnant, or their numbers may be dropping and
that's going to play a part for her and how she wants to recommend funding. Reedus feels they should
be asking for program specific information and not for demographics on the whole agency, just the
demographic for the specific project.
Marilla-Kapp asked if, when they allocate the Legacy Agency funding, are they limiting the funds to
certain programs or are they allocating to programs as they see fit? Reedus replied yes and no, an
agency will ask for specific program requests and an agency like the Free Lunch Program that's basically
all they do is do the lunch so it could go to operating expenses and it's fine to get statistics or data from
the Free Lunch Program that's whole agency because that's what they're funding, but when they're
funding a specific program within a larger agency - she would like to see the data from that specific
program to see if the funding is going to make an impact.
Kubly noted on the next page of the budget the applicant can select the level of the budget is agency
level or program specific and then county specific. Reedus still wants to see program specific numbers,
this application should be giving the information that's going to help the Commission make the best
decision and if housing has become an increased need or domestic violence numbers have increased,
and they need more money, she’d rather be able to say ‘this is why’ she chose to give an increase to that
agency and decrease another agency. It has never made sense to her why they do these agency wide
demographics - plus some agencies have no ability or choose not to share that information. There's at
least one organization that doesn't gather that kind of information. Again, citing Community as an
example, if they ask for money for the food bank and they did agency-wide numbers they're going to see
numbers that go up in the thousands not because of food bank but because of crisis intervention calls, so
that information is absolutely useless if it isn’t program specific.

Dennis asked if agencies often apply for operational funds. Reedus noted they can. Dennis asked then
what budget they would use. Reedus noted something like Free Lunch Program would do the ir whole
agency budget. Reedus also noted that it does ask applicants to identify budget type - agency level,
program specific, or county specific. Maybe having those at the top of the agency demographics would be
good too and an explanation that says to them - the Commission wants to see the numbers for the
program which they are applying. Reedus also noted if they want to look at whole agency numbers , then
they have to provide unduplicated numbers or raw data because not all agencies can collect the
demographics.
Reedus also wanted to know from staff knowledge, do all agencies provide quality indicators in both the
application and the quarterly reports? Kubly stated everyone does the quarterly reports and staff reviews
those, they do quarterly payments for the Legacy Agencies, and they review the first quarter report before
doing the second quarter allocation.
Reedus noted another area where information isn't gathered well - maybe because the agencies don't
understand how to do it, or they just do n't do it in a uniform manner. Page 6, which is the agency salaries
and benefits. Reedus believes it would be helpful to see what agencies aren't paying livable salaries and
feels that they should be asking the questions about why they aren't paying livable salaries. Also, not all
agencies are providing benefits and that's a shame too because that just further pushes people into
poverty. The objective is to fund programs to stop homelessness and poverty and some of the agencies
are just pushing their people further into it.
Thul noted if commissioners feel they need more information from the agencies based on the
submissions received, they can always ask for follow-up at the q&a session.
Reedus stated that she is not a fan of the application and feels that it is long and tedious. She noted it
was her least favorite things to do every year when she was a director.
Marilla-Kapp want to second the attention to the salaries and benefits, she thinks the direct service jobs in
the community are some of the hardest and lowest paid. It's not just about quality of life for the
employees, but it also impacts client care when there is so much turnover due to these not being
sustainable jobs to stay in, and that's not good for the folks most impacted.
Reedus also stated regarding budgets, she will be interested in reserve funds and if they have plans for
those kinds of things. Those are questions she can probably ask either after she reviews applicat ions or
at the q&a.
Dennis asked, when the applications are turned in, if an agency is only asking for money from the Iowa
City - do those applications come directly to the City? Kubly confirmed they all go into an online system
and the City can take out the ones that only apply to Iowa City.
Kubly understand the reasoning of what they are saying but asked what specific change commissioners
would like to see on the actual application.
Reedus shared that agencies use the information submitted on this application to scan salary levels to
determine if they are paying competitively. Boards use this information to determine starter salaries.
When you don’t get all the information, it really skews the data. Reedus feels they need everyone to
complete the form the same way.
Dennis has an issue with listing the actual salaries - she would rather see a salary range because, for
example, an executive director that's been there for a long time will likely have a salary higher than
another executive director that was newly hired. Reedus noted a lot of agencies don't have ranges for
those top positions. Reedus understands it could be a salary range - she is just asking to make it uniform
so it's useful. It’s not useful as it is right now. Dennis agrees it's helpful for direct care staff and feels it
would make sense to know if direct care staff are hired in at $15 an hour or whatever with no benefits.
Reedus noted some agencies do averages and that's helpful, however, United Way has been getting
Housing and Community Development Commission
July 28, 2022
Page 6 of 8
6
these for a long time and it has never been applied consistently. Reedus feels that there needs to be
added instructions or something that helps agencies figure out how to list this information. Or if too many
agencies say they don't want to give those salaries out, then stop asking for it so because some agencies
list salaries and others don't so it’s just not helpful. Reedus is not holding her breath that staff will be able
to get any changes made to the application.
Thul asked for clarification. Instead of the chart, are they are looking for a narrative answering those
specific questions? Reedus confirmed they need added instructions and that they should be asking what
kind of cost-of-living increases are they giving, what concerns do they have about staffing levels, what's
the turnover, etc.
Mohammed doesn’t understand how the salaries can affect the application and scoring. How much is a
good salary that they can consider it on the application? Reedus replied it’s not what is considered a
good salary, it’s more about if it’s being asked, it needs to be answered consistently.
Marilla-Kapp noted it could affect scoring if they were paying their staff low salaries or a large disparity
between the leadership staff versus other staff.
Marilla-Kapp noted knowing the health insurance costs and what the total premium is relative to the
contribution of the agency for both individual and family is good to know as well. Reedus agreed, first ask
if they're offering insurance and then follow-up questions might be what the barriers are to doing that or if
they're offering it what their plan is in terms of agency or employee contribution. Reedus noted often low-
paying jobs get crappy insurance and that again pushes people further into poverty. Retirement is
another issue; she is really impressed with Iowa City that the non-profits here encourage retirement
plans, but it would be good to know if agencies participating in an IRA or 401K.
Reedus believes this would be some really good information for not only this Commission to see, but also
to pass on to City Council to push to increase that pot of funds.
Reedus moved to recommend approval of the FY24 Aid to Agencies Application Materials with the
understanding that requested changes to Form A and Form B will be sent to United Way. Dennis
seconded the motion, a vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0.
REVIEW AND CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL ON APPROVAL OF IOWA CITY
HOUSING AUTHORITY ANNUAL PLAN FOR FFY22:
Kubly stated this is a report from last year from the Iowa City Housing Authority and she will highlight a
few things that are interesting. The Iowa City Housing Authority serves Johnson County, Iowa County
and Washington County north of Highway 92. They have about 1500 vouchers or units that they provide,
a majority of that is a standard housing choice voucher but they also have 95 veteran vouchers and 78
main-stream vouchers that serve non-elderly persons with a disabling condition currently experiencing
homelessness. Last year they received emergency housing vouchers and for 69 of those the City
partnered with Shelter House who selected those and make referrals through the coordinated entry
process. The project-based voucher report reflects Cross Park Place, there are 24 vouchers for the
residents in Cross Park Place and the City has added 36 project-based vouchers for the 501 Project
which is the second housing first project at Shelter House. Kubly noted that's not in this report because
that just happened this year. Moving on they have 86 standard site public housing units and then we
have 16 City-owned affordable housing units that they operate similar to public housing but are not
federally funded. 10 are out at the Peninsula and 6 are at Augusta Place which is on Iowa Avenue. 58%
of the clients are disabled or elderly head of households. Kubly next highlighted the Family Self -
Sufficiency Program explaining its benefit of being on a program, it acts as a savings account and as a
recipient’s income increases and they can withdraw the funds for things, they set goals that they want to
become self-sufficient and then withdraw those funds to reach those goals. For example, if a goal is to
finish a degree but they need a laptop for class they can withdraw from escrow funds for that purpose or
another common one is someone's goal might be to maintain employment but their car broke down so
they could withdraw funds for car repairs. The average escrow savings account balance is $6370, she

saw one recently that was like $55,000 which was really impressive. They also have a homeownership
program so people who have a voucher and meet certain criteria and are in a position they could convert
their voucher to homeownership, they’ve done 48 of those since 2003. The housing assistance payments
which are the monthly rent payments that go to landlords, they’re expecting that to be about $8.3 mill ion
for the calendar year 2022. The total housing choice voucher program is almost $9.7 million for the year
and then our public housing program is about $634,000.
Marilla-Kapp moved to recommend approval of the ICHA Annual Plan to Council. Dennis
seconded the motion, a vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0.
CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL ON APPROVAL OF HCDC BY-LAWS
AMENDMENT:
Beining noted this item was based on discussion at the June meeting motion to recommend that Council
approve the amendment to the HCDC bylaws with the inclusion of the non-profit management
experience.
Thul noted that Krotz was not available to meet tonight, but that she passed her comments to staff. Krotz
felt that the “nonprofit experience” requirement should be changed to “nonprofit management
experience.” Reedus agrees with that and wanted to ask about encouraging diversity in appointments.
Thul explained that all boards and commissions use the same application so if HCDC were to make
additional statements like some of what was discussed at the last meeting, then they would need to ask
additional questions on the application. For example, encouraging diversity in familial status was
mentioned, but the application doesn’t necessarily colle ct that information. The language suggested was
drawn from the Human Rights Commission as a template.
Reedus moved to recommend that Council approve the amendment to the HCDC By-Laws as
written in agenda item #9 with the addition that “nonprofit experience” be changed to “nonprofit
management experience”. Seconded by Dennis. A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0.
STAFF & COMMISSION UPDATES:
Thul noted that there will not be an August meeting. By the September meeting, staff should have the
Legacy submissions in then. In September they will also review the CAPER.
Thul explained at the last meeting Commission members brought up travel reimbursements for board and
commissions and staff dug into that. Staff learned that in the past, the City has reimbursed for things like
events or trainings that are directly related to the work of the commission. At one point the Truth and
Reconciliation Commission did make a recommendation to Council to do more reimbursements for things
like childcare. Staff can put this on a future agenda if this Commission wants to do something similar and
make a recommendation to Council, but the decision is ultimately up to Council.
Finally, Thul noted there is another vacancy on HCDC because one of the new commission members
resigned due to employment at the City so that vacancy is reposted.
ADJOURNMENT:
Dennis moved to adjourn, Reedus seconded the motion, a vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0.

Introduction
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARP”) appropriated $5 billion to communities across the U.S. to provide
housing, services, and shelter to individuals experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable populations. These
funds were allocated by formula to jurisdictions that qualified for funding through the HOME Investment
Partnership Program (HOME Program) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Eligible activities that may be funded with HOME-ARP include:
Development and support of affordable housing
Tenant-based rental assistance
Provision of supportive services
Acquisition and development of non-congregate shelter units
Funds must primarily benefit individuals and households in the following Qualifying Populations:
Experiencing homelessness
At risk of homelessness
Fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking or human trafficking
Other populations with high risk of housing instability
The City of Iowa City received a total of $1,789,981 in HOME-ARP funding and expects to make $1,521,981 in HOME-
ARP funds available for allocation in two competitive funding rounds.
Consultation
In order to inform the HOME-ARP allocation plan, the City of Iowa City consulted with agencies who serve the
qualifying populations. This consultation was conducted via survey, virtual stakeholder meetings, in-person
meetings, and conference calls. Specific consultations were held with the Iowa Balance of State CoC Lead Agency,
Institute for Community Alliances; the Iowa City Housing Authority; and at the regular meeting of the Johnson
County Local Homeless Coordinating Board (LHCB). Additional individual consultation meetings were held with
individual service providers upon request.

SUMMARY OF FEEDBACK
The most frequent response that we received was that the City of Iowa City’s affordable housing inventory is not
meeting the demand. Specifically, the availability of affordable one bedroom and efficiency units is below demand
as well as the availability of affordable housing for households requiring more than 3 bedrooms. In addition, service
providers reported an increased need for funding for operations for case management staff to assist persons at risk
of or experiencing homelessness. While this need is certainly documented, there was additional concern regarding
sustainability of funding for supportive services outside of one-time funds. Other populations identified include
those who are “rent burdened”, paying more than 30% of their monthly income in rent, in low to middle income
brackets. Additional feedback received indicated that housing and services for special populations (specifically:
victims of domestic violence, youth experiencing homelessness, & individuals with criminal backgrounds) and
general rental assistance would also be beneficial in the community.
Public Participation
In accordance with Section V.B of the Notice (page 13), the City of Iowa City is providing for and encouraging citizen
participation in the development of the HOME-ARP allocation plan. Residents will receive notice of the 27-day
comment period via press release as required by the citizen participation plan. This includes notice posted on the
City Clerk’s Bulletin Board on the First Floor of City Hall, publishing of notices in one or more newspapers of general
circulation, and announcement on City websites including access to relevant documents for review. Documents are
also available to the public at City Hall.
Public hearings will be held at during the July 21st, 2022 Regular Meeting of the Housing and Community
Development Commission meeting and at the August 16th, 2022 Regular Meeting of the City Council.

Needs Assessment and Gaps Analysis
To assess the needs of HOME-ARP qualifying populations, the City of Iowa City reviewed the current shelter and
housing inventory, the size of the populations, and the system of supportive services in the community. To conduct
the needs assessment and gaps analysis, the City of Iowa City utilized current data, including the 2021 Point In Time
Count (PIT), the 2021 Iowa Balance of State Continuum of Care Housing Inventory Count (HIC), the most recent
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, and consultation with the Institute for Community
Alliances, who is the lead agency for the Iowa Balance of State Continuum of Care (IA BoS CoC) as well as the IA BoS
CoC Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) administrator. The findings of this assessment can be found
in the table below.

HOME-ARP Activities
THE METHOD FOR SOLICITING APPLICATIONS
The City of Iowa City is soliciting applications for HOME-ARP funds. Applications will be reviewed by the Housing
and Community Development Commission (HCDC) who will make the final funding recommendations to City
Council. The HCDC will not allocate funds to a subrecipient or contractor to administer the entirety of the HOME-
ARP grant nor will funds be awarded prior to HUD’s acceptance of the HOME-ARP allocation plan.
Prospective applicants were notified of the solicitation of applications via press release. An applicant guide and
virtual Q&A sessions were held to assist applicants in learning more about the application process.
The City of Iowa City will oversee the administration of HOME-ARP funds and will not administer HOME-ARP
activities directly.
The City of Iowa City will hold a second funding round for HOME-ARP funds to supplement and provide matching
funds to Iowa City agencies seeking HOME-ARP funds from the State of Iowa.

USE JUSTIFICATION
In accordance with the requirements in HOME-ARP Implementation Notice CPD 21-10, The City of Iowa City has
utilized the consultation process and the needs assessment and gap analysis to determine that the priority needs
for the qualifying populations in the community are an increase in the availability of affordable housing units and
funds to support both new and existing supportive services programs serving qualified populations. As a result of
this analysis, the funds have been allocated primarily to these activities.
Based on the most recent Point In Time Count (PIT) and Housing Inventory Count (HIC), the number of general
shelter beds appears to be meeting the needs of the community, therefore development of non-congregate shelter
is not a priority at this time for the general population. However, based on consultations, victims of domestic
violence have unique shelter needs and greatly benefit from a non-congregate setting. Additionally, while rental
assistance was identified as a needed service in the community, it was determined that rather than TBRA, short to
medium term rental assistance with additional supportive services to assist in stabilization of the household overall
would be the most effective use of resources.
9
HOME-ARP Production Housing Goals
The City of Iowa City anticipates that HOME-ARP funding will be utilized to produce three (3) to five (5) additional
rental housing units for qualifying populations and seven (7) units of non-congregate shelter for individuals and
families fleeing domestic violence. In addition to the new units proposed, HOME-ARP funds will be utilized to
provide supportive services, including rental assistance, to over 1200 individuals in more than 500 households.
Preferences
A preference provides a priority for the selection of applicants who fall into a specific QP or category (e.g., elderly or
persons with disabilities) within a QP (i.e., subpopulation) to receive assistance. A preference permits an eligible
applicant that qualifies for a PJ-adopted preference to be selected for HOME-ARP assistance before another eligible
applicant that does not qualify for a preference. A method of prioritization is the process by which a PJ determines
how two or more eligible applicants qualifying for the same or different preferences are selected for HOME-ARP
assistance. For example, in a project with a preference for chronically homeless, all eligible QP applicants are
selected in chronological order for a HOME-ARP rental project except that eligible QP applicants that qualify for the
preference of chronically homeless are selected for occupancy based on length of time they have been homeless
before eligible QP applicants who do not qualify for the preference of chronically homeless.
In accordance with Section V.C.4 of the Notice (page 15), the HOME-ARP allocation plan must identify whether the
PJ intends to give a preference to one or more qualifying populations or a subpopulation within one or more
qualifying populations for any eligible activity or project.
Preferences cannot violate any applicable fair housing, civil rights, and nondiscrimination requirements,
including but not limited to those requirements listed in 24 CFR 5.105(a).
The PJ must comply with all applicable nondiscrimination and equal opportunity laws and requirements
listed in 24 CFR 5.105(a) and any other applicable fair housing and civil rights laws and requirements when
establishing preferences or methods of prioritization.
USE OF PREFERENCES
The City of Iowa City will not be implementing a preference for one or more qualifying populations. However, the
City recognizes that individual applicants may implement preferences for their projects. To ensure a preference is
not present in funding decisions and all qualifying populations are able to benefit from HOME-ARP funds, scoring
criteria has been developed which awards the most points to programs who serve all qualifying populations. While
projects with preferences may still be funded, the City of Iowa City will ensure that HOME-ARP funds are distributed
so that they are accessible to all qualifying populations.
The consultation process and needs assessment identified that while all populations are in need, there are specific
populations which are underserved. Specifically, victims of domestic violence, youth experiencing homelessness,
families with children, single individuals experiencing homelessness, and cost-burdened renters are the most in-
need populations. While the decision for funding will not be impacted by the population served, we expect that
individual applicants will have preferences for one or more of these groups. Funding decisions will be made such
that all qualified populations have access to programs utilizing HOME-ARP funds.
10
REFERRAL METHODS
Applicants for HOME-ARP funding from the City of Iowa City will utilize different referral methods for their programs
as appropriate. Programs with a preference for chronically homeless individuals will utilize the Coordinated Entry
(CE) system in place for the Johnson/Washington County Coordinated Services Region of the Iowa Balance of State.
The CE system prioritizes participants based on acuity as well as chronologically according to the applicable VI-
SPDAT.
Applicants operating programs that do not utilize coordinated entry will operate a separate waiting list or referral
system that is ordered chronologically.
The City of Iowa City will ensure that funding decisions are made such that all qualified populations have access to
programs utilizing HOME-ARP funds.
LIMITATIONS IN A HOME-ARP RENTAL HOUSING OR NCS PROJECT
The City of Iowa City anticipates that some applicants will implement a preference for their individual projects
based on the specialized services that the applicant offers. Specifically, the City anticipates that funds utilized for
the development of non-congregate shelter will have a preference for qualifying participants in Category 3 –
fleeing domestic violence. Participants that have experienced these traumatic events require specialized care and
consideration and are more likely to take part in and benefit from supports which are specific to their needs.
According to numerous sources, including the World Health Organization, it has been seen around the world that
domestic violence is increasing due to the pandemic. Victim-survivors have been forced to isolate in their homes
with their abusers due to the pandemic which has in turn increased the lethality of domestic violence for many
individuals served by these service providers. Non-congregate shelter offers not only the privacy and safety
needed for these families to process their traumatic experiences with the support of service providers who have
specialized training, but protection from concerns that result from the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, as
participants are fleeing dangerous situations, their privacy is of the utmost importance. A safe, confidential, and
secure shelter which is limited to participants in similar situations helps to ensure greater safety from
perpetrators as access to the shelter is restricted.
UNMET NEEDS OF OTHER QUALIFYING POPULATIONS
The City of Iowa City does not anticipate that the limitation of populations served with the anticipated non-
congregate shelter project will negatively impact other qualifying populations. According to the needs assessment
and consultation, the community need for non-congregate shelter for the general population is not a priority at
this time. The current availability of shelter beds is generally proportionate to the population identified in the
Point in Time count. The identified need for non-congregate shelter was specifically limited to Category 3 –
fleeing domestic violence.
Additionally, other projects funded through HOME-ARP will serve all qualifying populations without these
limitations in place.
HOME-ARP Refinancing Guidelines
The City of Iowa City does not intend to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt secured by multi-family
rental housing.

Staff Comments on Funding Recommendations for HOME-ARP:
General Comments
The City received four submissions for HOME-ARP funds. All four proposals clearly explain how the project will
address a specific goal from the City’s consolidated plan, City Steps 2025 and addresses a need identified in
the HOME-ARP Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis.
The City of Iowa City must certify in the HOME-ARP Allocation plan that all qualifying populations are able to
benefit from HOME-ARP funds. To ensure this, projects which serve all qualifying populations without
prioritization are scored the highest. Projects which prioritize a specific subpopulation are eligible for HOME-
ARP funds, but the prioritization must be demonstrated in the Needs Assessment.
Shelter House – Supportive Services for PSH
Shelter House has a demonstrated history of administering federally funded projects in the City of Iowa City.
The agency is subject to the single audit requirement as they annually expend more than $750,000 in federal
funds each fiscal year. The request utilizes a tiered approach to HOME-ARP funds understanding that the funds
are likely available on a one-time basis and demonstrating significant planning for ensuring ongoing operation of
the program beyond the funded period. As the highest-scoring application, staff recommends full funding be
awarded to Shelter House ($517,742).
Iowa Legal Aid
Iowa Legal Aid has administered federal funds for many years to provide both Homelessness Prevention
services and Rapid Rehousing Services. The agency is subject to the single audit requirement as they annually
expend more than $750,000 in federal funds each fiscal year. Iowa Legal Aid will utilize the funds as a
continuation of an already-existing supportive services program funded by Johnson County, Wells Fargo, and
August 11, 2022
Page 2
the Principal Foundation. As the second-highest scoring application, staff recommends full funding be awarded
to Iowa Legal Aid ($157,500).
Domestic Violence Intervention Program (DVIP) – Shelter New Construction
DVIP has undertaken numerous federally funded projects through the City in prior fiscal years including both
public facility improvements and public service activities. The agency is subject to the single audit requirement
as they annually expend more than $750,000 in federal funds each fiscal year. The scope of the proposal is
larger than prior projects, which does present additional risk. The budget submitted in the project proposal also
notes that a large portion of the project funds are not officially committed. Due to the being the 3rd the highest
scoring application, staff recommends two-thirds of the requested funding be awarded to DVIP ($500,000).
However, the agency and Council should be aware that any delays in the project timeline could have an impact
on the City’s timeliness status if the federal funds awarded are not expended as scheduled.
United Action for Youth
United Action for Youth has administered the federally funded Transitional Living Program (TLP) for over 20
years. In response to COVID-19, UAY chose to expand the program to include additional units in order to serve
more participants in need. UAY is seeking HOME-ARP funding to ensure the expansion can be maintained
through the federal grant period on the originally funded units. As the lowest scoring application, staff
recommends United Action for Youth be awarded $45,000.
Reserves
Iowa Finance Authority has indicated that they are considering the possibility of requiring State HOME-ARP
applicants to leverage Local HOME-ARP funding as match in their future HOME-ARP funding round. On last
consultation with IFA, this decision was not yet made and likely would not be determined until at least December
2022.
Staff is prepared to proceed with the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan submission process, but do not wish to run the
risk of excluding local nonprofits from being eligible to utilize State HOME-ARP funds. Due to this, staff
recommends holding $301,739 in reserves for a future funding round, to be conducted after the Iowa Finance
Authority has announced their requirements for State HOME-ARP applicants.

Executive S ummary:
On April 19, 2022 the City Council unanimously passed a resolution that executed a subrecipient
agreement with J ohnson County to bolster the reach of its direct assistance program. T hat action
authorized up to $1,500,000 in I owa City American Rescue Plan Act funds for the purpose of
funding additional C ity of I owa City applicants that were deemed eligible but otherwise not
selected in the lottery for J ohnson County f unded applications. As a result of the City's action, all
eligible residents of I owa City that were deemed eligible were funded.
At the August 2nd City Council work session, the Council indicated a willingness to equitably share
in the cost f or ensuring that the remaining 319 applicants from outside of I owa City that were not
selected in the J ohnson C ounty lottery receive full funding. T he County has declined this offer
from I owa City.
Background / Analysis:
I owa City f unds have been used to fund 472 residents of I owa C ity that were not selected in the
J ohnson County Direct Assistance lottery. T he cost of this effort is $660,800 plus unknown
administrative costs. S taff estimates that the total cost with administrative expenses will likely fall
between $700,000 - $750,000.
T his resolution would authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute an amendment to the
subrecipient agreement with J ohnson C ounty in order to facilitate the use of additional City funds
for all or a portion of the remaining 319 eligible, yet unf unded applications. A ccording to data
provided by J ohnson County the jurisdiction of residence of these 319 applicants includes
Coralville (116), Hills (3), L one Tree (2), North L iberty (67), Oxford (5), S olon (4), S wisher (1),
Tiffin (18) and unincorporated J ohnson County (103).
I f action is desired by the Council, the resolution will need to be amended to include a specific
dollar commitment equal to $1400 times the number of eligible applicants to be funded.

Resolution authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute an
amendment to the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF) grant
agreement with Johnson County to provide additional funding to administer
the Direct Assistance program targeting Iowa City residents who
experienced a negative economic impact caused by the COVID-19
pandemic.
Whereas, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (U.S. Treasury) allocated the City of Iowa City
$18,325,190 through the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF) as part of the
American Rescue Plan Act (aka, ARPA); and
Whereas, the SLFRF program provides substantial flexibility to each jurisdiction to meet local
needs within the four separate eligible use categories outlined in the Final Rule published by the
U.S. Treasury on January 6, 2022 and other guidance released by the U.S. Treasury; and
Whereas, providing direct assistance to Iowa City residents who have experienced a negative
economic impact is an eligible use category under the Final Rule; and
Whereas, the U.S. Treasury permits the City to make subawards with SLFRF funds for the
purpose of carrying out an eligible use under the SLFRF program; and
Whereas, Johnson County (the County) has developed a Direct Assistance Program (Program)
targeting County residents who have experienced a negative economic impact as a result of
COVID-19; and
Whereas, under the County's Program, randomly selected applicants received a one-time,
$1,400 check; and
Whereas, the City previously committed up to $1,500,000 in City SLFRF funds toward the
County's program for the benefit of qualifying Iowa City residents under the same terms as the
County program; and
Whereas, as a result of the City's funding, every resident of Iowa City who applied for the
program received their $1,400 check; and
Whereas, 319 Johnson County residents, none of whom reside in Iowa City, who applied and
were eligible for the program did not receive funding; and
Whereas, the municipal jurisdictions that represent those residents either chose not to provide
any funding to supplement the County's program or provided a modest amount that did not
cover all of the need, including the needs of their own residents; and
Whereas, confronted with the fact of unfunded applicants from their jurisdiction, no other local
government has provided additional funding to meet the needs of their own residents; and
Resolution No. 22-207

Whereas, the City of Iowa City is willing to provide additional funding to the County's Program in
order to assist with this unmet need; and
Whereas, the City is willing to contribute an additional $446,600 plus check processing fees in

Greetings, Mayor Teague and City Council Members:
First and foremost, thank you for your partnership and participation in the Johnson County
Direct Assistance Program. This collaboration has resulted in household stabilization for our
residents and local economic recovery in our community. We are grateful for your support,
innovation, and investment, and look forward to sharing additional program impacts with the
City.
On November 18, 2021, after months of public input, discussion, and consideration, the
Johnson County Board of Supervisors invested its $29.3 million State and Local Fiscal
Recovery Fund allocation in more than three dozen public improvement projects; $2 million of
which was used to design, develop, implement, and evaluate a Direct Assistance Program to
provide one-time, $1,400 emergency relief payments to eligible residents.
Johnson County spent its $2 million ARRA investment by issuing 1,428 payments. Due to
potential VV -9, social security number, and 1099 requirements, Johnson County chose not to
use Standard Allowance or County general funds for this program to safeguard applicant
identity and expand eligibility.
To date, Iowa City has funded 472 recipients of Direct Assistance paymentsand has been
invoiced:
• $660,800 in direct assistance payments
• $13,957.04 in check processing fees
• $53,281,32 in DA Program administration costs_
On August 10, the Board of Supervisors discussed the City's letter of request for Johnson
County to allocate additional funds to the Direct Assistance Program to provide payments to the
319 eligible applicants not selected for program benefits_ While the Board supports a continued
partnership to fund all eligible applicants and deeply values the contributions made by the City
of Iowa City, there was not consensus to defund previously Board -approved projects without
due outreach. discussion. and consideration.
In an effort to expedite the release of additional payments to the 319 residents not selected
under the existing subrecipient agreement, the Board agrees the most efficient and equitable
solution is to use funds already allocated to the Direct Assistance Program. The Board proposes
the City and County mutually agree to modify program administration terms within the
subrecipient agreement to fund all eligible applicants.
Johnson County will fund the 319 eligible applicants who reside outside the municipal corporate
boundaries of Iowa City and were not selected for program benefits. In order to make this
possible, Iowa City will fund 791 recipients and be invoiced an additional:
913 South Dubuque Street • Iowa City, Iowa 52240 s 319-356-6000 • w war.johnsoncountyiowa-gav
• $446,600 in direct assistance payments
• $9,432.83 in check processing fees
Our proposed solution carries an increased program administration cost of approximately
$25,000. Johnson County will incur this expense and not invoice Iowa City for additional
administrative costs associated with funding all eligible applicants. Iowa City is estimated to
spend approximately $1.2 million of the $1.5 million allocation.
We appreciate your time and consideration, and look forward to your response and future
collaboration. r�
Respectfully,
Royceann Porter

Thank you for your work on behalf of Iowa Citians. I write to urge you to address the needs of excluded
workers. They work, they send their children to school, and they make purchases here. Why would we want
to short them money?
One family I know moved last year because their rent went up $1200 a year. The place where they moved
also raised the rent $1200 this year. That means the children are attending their third school in three years.
Meanwhile the parents' wages have not increased, and their hours have been reduced. Many families are
truly challenged economically.
I hope you can find the path forward to work with other municipalities and ensure excluded workers are
treated with the fairness they deserve.

(Date)
Dear City Council,
I am writing to you in support of Truth and Reconciliation Commission member and chair, Amel Ali, and in strong
opposition to the motion to remove her from it.
So much of the politics of Iowa City is ruled by spite and petty grievances, and the current situation is no exception. And
yet, despite that, Amel is probably the only person I know involved in all of this who has shown time and again how
capable she is of seeing past those grievances, of finding the good in people even when they go to great lengths to hide
it. Her harsh words, then, never come from a place of anger, but, as far as I have known her, come from frustration and,
ultimately, profound compassion.
There is a very real divide in this city. You can see it right now. Amel is one of only a few people capable of meaningfully
crossing that divide without betraying anyone's trust. Without her, I don't know if that divide can be healed, and by
removing her from the commission, you send a clear message that compassion and understanding are only available to
those with power and influence.
Voting no on the motion is the only correct course of action. By voting yes, you achieve nothing but signaling your
allegiance to the politics of enmity.
Sincerely,
Nicholas Theisen

Hello. I am an Iowa City native/resident and I have personally witnessed Amel sexually and verbally abuse
someone close to me. I think it is absurd that she has not already been removed as the leader of the TRUTH and
RECONCILIATION commission. Council member Laura Bergus has made a point to say that Amel is guilty of making only 1
mistake... I have a few more incidents in the past 8 months that I would like to bring to your attention.
I ask that this personal account of Amel's abuse stays PRIVATE in order to protect the identity of the victim. Back in
December of 2021 Amel Ali was at my house to celebrate a "Friendsgiving" and it quickly turned dark when Amel got
belligerently drunk and abusive. She repeatedly tried to grab the private parts of her (ex) boyfriend while he was non -
consenting. She then became very angry and verbally abusive towards her partner, then left my house in a rage. Amel
then drove drunk with her boyfriend in the car. That night, Amel's boyfriend then decided to end their relationship and I
picked the victim up and brought him back to my house. Amel was not done though. She then drove drunk to the house
that she shared with her boyfriend and stole his dog and continued to verbally abuse the victim through phone calls. It
was a terrible night and we were very close to calling the police on Amel. Ever since then, the victim of Amel's abuse as
well as the other people involved that night have had to relive that trauma every time Amel pops up in the news due to
her hateful speech and behavior. Oh yeah, and the victim of Amel's abuse is also a stage 4 cancer survivor and is
continuing his fight to this day. Amel constantly makes the argument of "trauma begetting trauma" and it is more like an
BS excuse for her awful behavior.
In May of 2022 Amel visited Tate Highschool to speak to students and soon after that, the ICCSD superintendent had to
send an email to all parents, apologizing for the sentiments that Amel was voicing to these students. What were these
sentiments? She was condoning violence and destruction of property. Has anyone on the council been made aware of
this? Is Amel the person that the council & TRC wants to be leading the TRUTH and RECONCILIATION commission??
In July of 2022 Amel goes on a public forum podcast and spews hate speech as well as allegedly admits to driving drunk,
showing up to TRC meetings drunk, having sugar daddies (I hope she is not talking about her last boyfriend), and
more??? If the true details of these podcasts come out to the public, it will (already has) created a massive controversy
in the community. There are a lot of people in the community who would not be surprised to hear that Amel has
admitted to these offensive acts.
Amel Ali is an adult and she should not be coddled in this situation. She is extremely unprofessional and her right to
activism should not come at the expense of abusing others and treating people the way that she treats people. LASTLY, if
the council decides not to remove her from the TRC and the victim of her abuse decides to speak publicly about it, how
poorly would that be received by the public? Please remove her from the TRC. I have worked with Chastity at NCJC and
she is more than qualified to lead the TRC. She is very professional, wise and capable. Amel is a cancer. Enough is
enough.
