Executive Summary:
During construction of the 2022 Rochester Avenue Reconstruction from Ralston Creek to N First
Avenue Project, it was discovered by the contractor that there was an error in the earthwork
quantities as shown in the contract documents. The error results in the site being unbalanced
between cut and fill, resulting in additional material that will be required to be hauled off-site.
Because of these changes, staff negotiated Change Order #1 in the amount of $227,420 which
modifies the project quantities, unit prices and contract cost. The project scope and the timeline
are not impacted by this change.
Background /Analysis:
As part of the 2022 Rochester Avenue Reconstruction from Ralston Creek to N First Avenue
Project, the City will widen and reconstruct the roadway pavement. In order to do so, the existing
right-of-way adjacent to the roadway required re -grading to allow for the wider pavement section
and planned amenities. The existing roadway profile was also altered to promote stormwater
drainage while meeting design standards. Prior to earthwork operations, the Contractor noted that
their quantities were not matching up with the earthwork quantities in the plans. The Consultant
analyzed the calculations and compared their new numbers to calculations provided by the
Contractor, and they agreed the quantity listed in the plans and bid documents were not correct.
During the review, two errors were discovered:
1. When the plan quantities were calculated during final design, the Consultant did not use the
correct computer automated drafting (CAD) file and did not recognize the error in their
quality assurance/quality control review. This led to inaccurate earthwork volumes.
2. During final design, the earthwork quantities behind the curb were not accurately represented
in the Consultant's earthwork computer model. This led to additional earthwork quantities
being added to the project.
These errors occurred during the final design process and the quantity change is significant. The
City has determined that the errors affected the overall earthwork balance of the project, and
ultimately the unit prices provided during project bidding, and because of this have requested the
Consultant share in payment of additional costs, to which the Consultant has agreed.

COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
November 1, 2022
Resolution amending the Administrative and Confidential pay plan by
deleting the position of Airport Manager position from grade 23 and adding it
to grade 27.
Prepared By: Jennifer L. Schwickerath
Reviewed By: Judy Pfohl, Airport Commission Chair
Rachel Kilburg, Assistant City Manager
Fiscal Impact: The estimated increased cost for Fiscal Year 2023 is $6,939.00 and for
Fiscal Year 2024 is $12,346.00. It is anticipated that increased hangar rents
will be sufficient to cover any pay increases. (To date, the Airport Commission
has not authorized any increase in pay.)
Recommendations: Staff: No Recommendation
Commission: The Airport Commission unanimously moved at the October
13, 2022 commission meeting to recommend reclassifying the Airport
Manager position in the Administrative and Confidential Pay Plan from grade
23 to grade 27.
Attachments: Airport Manager Job Description
Draft October 13, 2022 Airport Commission Meeting Minutes
Resolution
Executive Summary:
Background /Analysis:
The staff position for the airport has undergone changes since the Airport Manager position was
last classified at pay grade 27 in 2004. In 2004, the Airport Manager's contract was terminated,
which began a period of transition and restructuring of the staff position at the airport. During the
transition and restructuring period, the airport was managed by the Commission with contracted outside
assistance. In February 2005, the Commission hired two interns to assist with the management as well.
In October 2005, the Commission determined the appropriate permanent staff person for the airport
would be an Airport Operations Specialist at 60% time at pay grade 23. This recommendation was
made to City Council and approved. The Airport Operations Specialist position was filled in 2006. The
Airport Operations Specialist managed the airport with contracted outside assistance.
The airport permanent staff position has been restructured since 2006. Initially, the position increased
from 60% time to 75% time and ultimately to full time. The increases in time were accompanied with
increased duties and responsibilities and decreased outside assistance.
In recognition of the increased duties and responsibilities, the Airport Commission changed the
title from Airport Operations Specialist to Airport Manager on February 13, 2020. This was
followed by a review and update of the job description of the Airport Manager position to more
accurately reflect the current duties and responsibilities of the position. The Airport Commission
approved an updated job description for the Airport Manager position on September 8, 2022. After
updating the job description, the Airport Commission reviewed the pay grade, which included comparing
the position to other City positions and scoring by City Human Resources. The duties and
responsibilities of the updated job description were comparable to those of positions in grade 27, and
the position scored at grade 27. The Airport Commission moved to recommend to City Council a pay
grade increase for the position on October 13, 2022.

packet. Tharp noted that they deleted the insurance requirements, something that
was previously done. Tharp also noted a change in the indemnity language that

1. Terminal Area Study — Tharp stated they need to do a consultant
selection process for this project since they were using federal

language that is required in the document and nothing that FAA

Southside Recycling Center Project. The project will include an area to provide recycling bins and
a cardboard compactor, as well as new park amenities that include a park pavilion, paved access,
and paved parking lot.
Background /Analysis:
This project includes new amenities for the Sturgis Ferry Park at 1700 South Riverside Drive.
New amenities will include a small shelter, paved access to the park and boat ramp, and a paved
parking lot. These amenities will promote use of the boat ramp for canoeing, kayaking, and other
river recreational uses. The proposed parking lot will have five recycling bins and a cardboard
compactor. The bins currently at 1200 South Riverside Drive are planned to be moved to this
location. The shared use of this space will enhance park use and provide a location for the
Southside Recycling Center. The design will take into account future uses of the City properties
(1200, 1300, and 1700 South Riverside Drive), future expansion of the multiuse trail network, and
future expansion of the recycling center operations.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Warrior Enterprise LLC, is requesting approval of a combined preliminary and final
plat (Attachment 2) of 1501 and 1515 Willow Creek Dr, a 1.94 acre commercial subdivision
containing two lots. The plat shows the existing buildings and infrastructure. No public
improvements are required. Lot 1 contains the existing building at 1515 Willow Creek Dr. and is
1.02 acres. Lot 2 contains the existing building located at 1501 Willow Creek Dr. and is 0.92 acres.
Both properties contain existing buildings and parking areas. The applicant intends to subdivide the
property, creating two lots.
The applicant indicated they have not held a Good Neighbor Meeting.
ANALYSIS:
Compliance with Comprehensive Plan: The IC2030 Comprehensive Plan identifies the
subject property as appropriate for general commercial development. The Southwest District
Plan identifies the subject property within the Willow Creek Subarea as suitable for general
commercial development. Both the Comprehensive Plan and Southwest District plan have
similar goals to enhance streets, sidewalks, and trails, while also providing safe and pedestrian
friendly street systems. The Southwest District Plan states "Due to the location of this area near
the highway interchange these businesses serve a regional market rather than the surrounding
neighborhoods. Because this is a major entrance to the community from Avenue of the Saints
(Highway 218), the appearance of this corridor is an important component of its economic
development". The Plan also mentions the importance of improving the landscaping in this
commercial area to unite land uses and improve the appeal for adjacent neighborhoods as well
as those traveling in this part of the City.
Although there is no redevelopment of the subject property proposed at this time, lots 1 and 2
may be redeveloped in the future. In order to meet the goals of the IC2030 Comprehensive
Plan, the Southwest District Plan, and the Iowa City Bicycle Master Plan, staff has requested
that at the time of redevelopment an 8' wide sidewalk be constructed within the public right-of-
way along the northern property line as a means to close the existing trail gap identified in the
Bicycle Master Plan in this area of town. The preliminary and final plat notes "An 8 foot wide
sidewalk shall be required along the frontage of each individual lot upon redevelopment of the
lots as further specified in the subdivision documents" and the requirement for construction of
the sidewalk is outlined in the legal documents. Currently, the Willow Creek Trail ends at the
bulb of the Willow Creek Dr. cul-de-sac but is envisioned to extend the length of Willow Creek
Dr. and connect to the existing trail along Highway 1.
Subdivision Design: The proposed subdivision contains two lots zoned Intensive Commercial,
each lot with an existing building. When the property is subdivided, Lot 1 and Lot 2 will each
maintain their own access off of Willow Creek Dr., no additional curb cuts will be required or are
necessary. The lots are almost completely developed for the outdoor storage of vehicles, with
the exception of the existing buildings and Willow Creek, which runs through the southern end
of the property. Lot 1 proposes a lot area of 44,384 square feet (1.02 acres) and Lot 2 proposes
3
40,035 square feet (0.92 acres). The proposed commercial lots meet the minimum dimensional
requirements of a CI -1 zone. In the CI -1 zone there is no minimum lot area, width, or frontage
requirements. There are also no setback requirements, other than a 10 foot front setback
requirement. The buildings on Lot 1 and 2 meet the minimum front setback requirement as the
existing buildings are setback beyond the 10' minimum. The outdoor storage and vehicle repair
uses are allowed within Intensive Commercial zones. However, the existing development does
not conform with the outdoor storage screening requirements of section 14-2C-61-2. Any future
redevelopment would be required to comply with Title 14 Zoning of the City Code. Additionally,
Willow Creek Dr. does not have sidewalks on either side of the street. The Comprehensive Plan
encourages sidewalks and has the goal to "continue the existing sidewalk infill program to close
gaps in the sidewalk network". By requiring the construction of an 8' sidewalk in the right-of-way
along the street side property line at the time of redevelopment, the goals of the Comprehensive
Plan, Bicycle Master Plan, and Southwest District Plan are closer to being met as envisioned.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Due to the presence of sensitive features on the property
such as Willow Creek, a regulated blueline stream, the applicant has submitted a final sensitive
areas development plan. The final sensitive areas development plan meets the base
requirements of the sensitive areas ordinance, and therefore, it will be reviewed administratively
per section 14-813-7 of the City Code. According to section 14-51-7D-1 b, along tributaries to the
Iowa River that have a delineated floodway, a 30 -foot natural buffer must be maintained
between any development activity and the edge of the floodway. The final sensitive areas
development plan shows the regulated stream corridor and the 30 -foot buffer from the edge of
the floodway. No development activity is being proposed for the subject subdivision at this time.
However, existing pavement on the lots currently extends into the buffer area. The portions of
the property that contain regulated sensitive features, such as Willow Creek and its associated
buffer, are located within a conservation easement, as shown on the plat, to protect the
sensitive areas from any future development.
Transportation: Vehicular access is provided from Willow Creek Dr. As previously mentioned,
the Bicycle Master Plan identifies a trail gap along Willow Creek Dr. Staff requests that at the
time the lots are redeveloped, an 8' wide sidewalk be constructed within the public right-of-way
along the northern property line. Future completion of the trail connection will provide a
pedestrian route from Willow Creek Trail, Willow Creek Park, and Kiwanis Park to the existing
trail along Highway 1. There is currently no complete sidewalk connection along Willow Creek
Dr. to provide safe pedestrian connections.
Storm Water Management: Existing stormwater management is provided via storm sewer lines
along the northern and eastern property lines. No additional improvements are required.
Sanitary Sewer Service: Sanitary sewer service is being provided by existing lines. No
additional improvements are required.
NEXT STFPS-
Upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Preliminary and Final Plat
will be considered for approval by the City Council.

STAFF PRESENT: Emani Brinkman, Sara Hektoen, Anne Russett, Parker Walsh
OTHERS PRESENT: Marybeth Slonneger, Mike Oliveira, Kevin Boyd, Jon Marner
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL:
By a vote of 6-0 the Commission recommends approval of REZ22-0013, an application to
designate 937 East Davenport Street as an Iowa City Historic Landmark and rezone from
Medium Density Single -Family Residential (RS -8) to Medium Density Single -Family Residential
with a Historic District Overlay (OHD/RS-8).
By a vote of 6-0 the Commission recommends approval of SUB22-0013, an application
submitted by Warrior Enterprises LLC for a Preliminary and Final Plat, a two lot, 1.94 acre
commercial subdivision located at 1501 and 1515 Willow Creek Drive.
CALL TO ORDER:
Hensch called the meeting to order at 6:00 PM.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA:
None.
CASE NO. REZ22-0013:
Location: 937 E. Davenport Street
An application for a rezoning from Medium Density Single -Family Residential (RS -8) to RS -8 with
a Historic District Overlay (OHD/RS-8) to designate the property as an Iowa City Historic
Landmark.
Brinkman began the staff report showing an aerial map and zoning map of the property for the
proposed rezoning. The zoning map showed how the property fits in with the surrounding area.
The property was constructed around 1874 as a simple single -story ell style cottage and is in the
style of other Goosetown cottages from the same period. Brinkman showed photos the cottage
noting a gable addition was added to the rear of the house before 1882, and a second smaller
gable addition was added prior to 1920 as show in the Sanborn Insurance fire maps. Since 1920
Brinkman stated this property has not had many changes unlike similar small cottages in the
area. Another addition prior to 1920 was an open porch added to the L created by the original
portion of the house and the first addition and that porch has been extended by the current
property owners.
Planning and Zoning Commission

Historic District Overlay (OHD/RS-8).
Townsend seconded the motion.
Craig appreciates the perspective from Oliveira and the other side of it because they do need
housing in Iowa City and families today want larger houses, but this is not a district, it's not the
whole district, it's one piece of property that is very special and has history. To not move ahead
and do this, they would be losing something that they'll never get back and she doesn't want to
drive down that street and see nothing but five -bedroom houses. To drive down that street and
see a few bigger houses, along with some smaller houses will maintain the character of the
neighborhood and continue to serve people in Iowa City who like history, and a few who want to
live in a bigger house.
Townsend added that someone buying a home that is designated historic knows what they're
getting into when they buy it and they know that they have to keep certain standards and the
costs involved.
Hensch agrees the mixture of the new houses being developed and the retention of some
historic properties is exactly the mix that they want. They're always looking for balance and
mixture and it's not always pretty, but in the end, they end up generally with what the community
wants.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0.
CASE NO. SUB22-0013:
Location: 1501 and 1515 Willow Creek Drive
An application for a combined preliminary and final plat for McGrath Subdivision, a 1.94 -acre
subdivision containing two commercial lots.
Walsh began the staff report showing an aerial of the proposed subdivision and the zoning map
which showed it's primarily intensive commercial. For a little bit of background, the existing lot
and building on 1515 Willow Creek Drive was constructed in the early 1980s. A site plan for 1501
Willow Creek Drive was approved and construction began in 2017 and in September of this year,
staff received the application for preliminary and final plat for the subject properties. Looking at
the preliminary plat, it is approximately a total of 1.94 acres, with lot 1 being approximately 1.02
acres with an existing building and lot 2 being approximately 0.92 acres with the existing building
that was constructed in 2017. They also have Willow Creek at the base of the property as well as
the proposed conservation easement. A Sensitive Areas Development Plan was submitted that
meets the base requirements of a level one sensitive areas review and will be reviewed
administratively. What is shown is Willow Creek as well as its 30 -foot buffer. Staff has requested
that the portion of the property with the sensitive areas be placed in a conservation easement.
The Comprehensive Plan recommends general commercial as well as encourages
interconnected system of open space with sidewalks and trails to connect the community and
safe and pedestrian friendly street systems. The Southwest District Plan shown in the Willow
Planning and Zoning Commission
October 19, 2022
Page 6of10
Creek subarea also identifies this as general commercial and identifies the area as a regional
market due to its location off of major highways. Because of this location, the Southwest District
Plan states the importance of the area's appearance and landscape to unite the neighborhood
and improve the appeal to travelers. The Iowa City Bicycle Master Plan identifies the trail along
Willow Creek Drive as an existing gap, however the gap along Highway One has been filled with
a 10 -foot -wide sidewalk and staff has requested that an 8 -foot -wide sidewalk be connected along
the length of the property at the time of the lot's redevelopment.
Walsh noted there is existing stormwater water management via storm sewer lines along the
northern and eastern property lines and no further improvements are required.
Staff recommends approval of SUB22-0013, an application submitted by Warrior Enterprises
LLC for a Preliminary and Final Plat, a two lot, 1.94 acre commercial subdivision located at 1501
and 1515 Willow Creek Drive.
Next steps following the Commission's recommendation would be City Council consideration of
the preliminary and final plat as well as staff review of the preliminary and final site plan and
building permits.
Hensch noted it must be in the 100- and 500 -year floodplains since it's right on Willow Creek and
asked how much of the property is in the floodplain. Walsh stated since that was not a sensitive
areas they did not require that they included that so he's not exactly sure how much of the
property is within the floodplain.
Signs noted it looks like some of the conservation easement area is covered by asphalt and
wonders what the expectations are and if that goes away as part of the conservation.
Craig had a question about the sidewalk and that sidewalks are only required if they redevelop
something, does redevelopment mean a new property put on there, because they have still have
a gap in the sidewalk. Walsh confirmed that's correct, there is no sidewalk along this southern
line but if one of those properties decides to redevelop and build something new on the property,
the owner would be required at that time to provide a sidewalk along the front of their property
line. It would take both of these properties to redevelop before there's a consistent sidewalk
along both property lines.
Hensch opened the public hearing.
John Marner (MMS Consultants) added that on the lot line there's an existing fence between the
properties right now. To answer a couple of the questions, there's a significant portion of the
property that's both within the 100 -year and the 500 -year floodplains but both buildings are
outside of that elevation and as Walsh mentioned they're not classified as a sensitive areas
feature so that's why they're not shown on the plan. Regarding the proposed conservation
easement and the existing asphalt, the intent is to provide the conservation easement on the
Willow Creek floodway buffer and stream quarter buffer so if there is future development on this
property that easement already exists, and it would restrict any potential future development. So,
there would be no changes to the existing features that are there but in the event that something
were to be proposed in the future that easement is already in place and restricts any

development in that area. To the question about the sidewalks, on this particular side of Willow
Creek Drive there's nothing for sidewalk currently, along that entire stretch, there is some
sidewalk on the north side, so as the properties would redevelop the sidewalk would be required.
There's a drainage way along that side right now and it is an open ditch, there's a curb and gutter
on the west side of the building, and there's an outlet that gets into the stream that then the
stormwater drains down into the Willow Creek corridor. Therefore, any development of a
sidewalk or footpath in the future needs some thought about how the property sits down below
the curb. It will make sense when doing any of that sidewalk development in the future to look at
the entirety of the site and what makes sense for the property. There's also power poles and
some other utilities in that location as well that will need to be addressed at the time a site plan
were to be presented.
Hensch asked about the function of that asphalt there on Willow Creek, was it for bank
stabilization efforts at one time or something. Marner doesn't think so, they do have storage
back there and there's a chain link fence at that property line and there's a dumpster in the
southeast corner as well.
Hensch closed the public hearing.
Signs moved to recommend approval of SUB22-0013, an application submitted by Warrior
Enterprises LLC for a Preliminary and Final Plat, a two lot, 1.94 acre commercial
subdivision located at 1501 and 1515 Willow Creek Drive.
Elliott seconded the motion.
Signs noted it seems pretty straightforward; Hensch concurred.
Craig wishes they could build sidewalks all over town.

PLANNING AND ZONING INFORMATION:

and development with the senior living component on Rochester and Scott was also approved by
City Council.

October 19, 2022
Page 8 of 10
The new commissioner applications for Mark Nolte's vacancy are due on the 251h so they should
have a new commissioner appointed at the next City Council meeting on November 1.
Russett noted the planners went to Ottumwa for the APA Iowa conference and was it was a
really great conference where they got to connect with planners all across the state. They had
great keynote speakers and Ottumwa is doing a lot of great things, so it was nice to see their
area.
Signs noted they had shared a new news article about the proposed redevelopment at Myrtle
and Riverside and signs are up for a major site plan review so who does that go to before, is it
staff only. Russett noted there are several applications that they've applied for with the final plat
because they're going to be combining all of those parcels in into one lot and that will go to City
Council. It goes to the form -based code committee for design review and then the site plan will
be also staff level review. They've also applied for a vacation of public right of way along South
Riverside Drive just north of the railroad, and that will come to this Commission.
Craig noted also it's not a senior housing development anymore, it's student housing.
Hensch noted this is a good reminder that when they rezone property, the concept they bring
forth they're not tied to that because anything that's eligible under that zoning base zoning they
can do.
Signs totally understands that, but it does feel like they were sold a bill of goods so wants to
know if there are any protections they can put into place when they approve something or make
a change like that, it won't change uses drastically like that. They were told it would be a very
diverse area with a hotel, senior living, commercial space, apartments, condos, restaurants, and
now it's being replaced with good old student housing.
Russett noted it's really hard to restrict future development to certain uses, like to say it can only
be hotel or can only be senior housing, any uses that are allowed in that zone could be
proposed. There have been some rezonings where they've attached a condition to the rezoning
that it must substantially comply with the concept attached to that conditional zoning agreement
and rezoning ordinance, but there's pros and cons to that too as they've had some rezonings
that were approved years ago to concepts that are just not moving forward.
Hektoen noted the challenge with presenting concepts to the Commission is it anchors
expectations a certain way but under the code they're allowed to use the property for the uses
that are specified therein. The Commission can impose conditions, but they have to be directly
tied to a public need being created by the rezoning and it's a challenge to do that.
Signs understands he just feels they deserve to be called out on it because it seems like they
also were given height bonuses and stuff based on the concept they presented.
Hensch noted the Commission will see them again for their vacation of public property.

Executive Summary:
This project generally includes the replacement or repair of chlorine feeder systems, the removal
of ammonia feeder systems, and coordination of construction work not to impede water plant
production.
Background /Analysis:
The Iowa City Water Treatment Plant is required to disinfect and maintain a disinfection residual

gaseous chlorine, and its use requires specialized chemical feed equipment and facilities. The
existing chemical feed equipment has reached a design end -of -life at 20 years of service requiring
repair or replacement. Additionally, the ammonia feed system, installed during facility construction,
has not been used recently and needs removal. These improvements will allow for the continued
treatment and supply of drinking water to the residents of Iowa City.
The estimated project cost is $192,000 and will be funded by the Water fund. The project is
expected to be completed in the summer of 2023.

Resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign a State and Local Fiscal Recovery

Exhibit A
Executive Summary:
As part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the City was awarded State and Local Fiscal
Recovery Fund (SLFRF) dollars to respond to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This
resolution authorizes a subrecipient grant agreement with the University of Iowa Labor Center for
$500,000 to administer five annual sessions of the Quality Pre -apprenticeship Program, creating a
pathway for Iowa City residents to qualify for and secure careers in the building and construction
trades. This resolution further authorizes the City Manager to amend the agreement as needed,
including the budget for each of these activities by up to 5%.
Background /Analysis:
In 2021-22 the City of Iowa City received $18.3 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
State and Local Relief Funds. After dedicating several months in 2021 gathering public input, the
City Council generally agreed to guiding principles and numerous priorities for investing these
funds back into our community. To date several important initiatives have commenced.
The UI Labor Center submitted a proposal for an Apprenticeship Opportunity Program that
targets historically marginalized communities that are underrepresented in building trades. The
program will aim to help create clear, supported pathways to high-quality careers. This initiative fits
clearly in the City Council's ARPA priority to bolster our local workforce. The proposal speaks to
the City's guiding principles by including multiple partners (Iowa State Building Trades and local
non-profit organizations), promoting opportunities for lasting change, and ensuring funds help
mitigate racial inequities.
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. Per 31 CFR 35.6(b)(3)(ii)(A)(8)
"assistance for individuals who want and are available for work, including those who are
unemployed, have looked for work sometime in the past 12 months, who are employed part time
but who want and are available for full-time work, or who are employed but seeking a position with
greater opportunities for economic advancement" is an enumerated eligible use of SLFRF funds.
The U.S. Treasury's Final Rule on SLFRF further states that "jobs programs... combined
education and on-the-job training programs, or job training to accelerate rehiring or address
negative economic or public health impacts experienced due to a worker's occupation or level of
training are all enumerated eligible uses." Thus, the administration of a job training program such
as the Quality Pre -apprenticeship Program proportionately addresses the impacts of the COVI D-
19 pandemic and is an eligible use of SLFRF funds.

Re: ARPA — Construction Apprenticeship Opportunity Program
Dear Mr. Fruin and Members of the Council:
Thank you for the opportunity to update this proposal for consideration by the City Council. I
write to provide the latest details about a proposal by the University of Iowa Labor Center,
supported by the Iowa State Building and Construction Trades Council and several local
nonprofit leaders, to partner with the City of Iowa City on an ARPA-funded annually -recurring
Apprenticeship Opportunity Program for each of the next five years to create a consistent and
sustainable pathway for area residents, particularly those from historically marginalized
communities that are underrepresented in the trades, to enter and succeed in Registered
Apprenticeship programs and secure high-quality careers in the building and construction trades.
Statement of Need
This moment presents an historic level of urgency and opportunity to address the persistent
structural inequities that made many Iowans particularly vulnerable to the effects of the
pandemic. For example, women and BIPOC communities in our state face significant wage gaps
and occupational segregation. Iowa women typically earn 78 cents for each dollar paid to men,
significantly below national averages of 82 cents. Black women in Iowa earn an estimated 60
cents for every dollar paid to white men. 38.9% of single female -headed Iowa households with
children under age 18 were below the poverty level in 2018. The pandemic exacerbated these
disparities, disproportionately impacting families who were already in precarious financial
situations and often lacked quality healthcare, affordable childcare, or paid leave.
Registered Apprenticeship programs in skilled construction trades are widely recognized as
important paths to quality careers that offer living wages, workplace safety protections, and
quality health insurance and retirement benefits. Because apprenticeships allow workers to "earn
and learn," they enable low-income participants to gain training and start on a quality career path
without fear of crippling debt. But barriers to access remain primary obstacles for key
demographics who could most benefit from these opportunities. According to the U.S.
Department of Labor, "women and minorities continue to face substantial barriers to entry into
and, for some groups, completion of registered apprenticeships, despite their availability." This is
especially true for women and Black workers: across the country in 2017, only 7.3 percent of
registered apprentices were women and only 10.7 percent of apprentices were Black. Iowa's
rates are even lower. Changing these trends requires intentional and sustained work. Pre-
apprentice programs with support networks like the one we are proposing have been found on
play an important role in improving underrepresented groups' access to apprenticeships, as well
as completion ones.
We feel this program is uniquely positioned to make lasting progress in linking Iowa City area
residents m living wage jobs over the next five years. Construction employers and unions report
n acute need to recruit moo skilled trades workers, and the federal infrastructure bill is likely to
further increase demand. The economic disruption caused by the pandemic has dislocated many,
low-wage workers who are currently seeking opportunities for a more a secure future. There is a
growing interest among high school graduates in pursuing skilled trades careers. Construction
contractors, and Registered Apprenticeship programs increasingly recognize the valuable
role that pre -apprenticeship programs play in recruiting new applicants. In fad, the Labor
Center's Quality Pre-Apprenficeship Program began at the urging of the Iowa State Building and
Construction Trades Council and has signed articulation agreements with 24 Registered
Apprenticeship programs across the hare. The Labor Center has longstanding, trusted
relationships with grassroots organaations across the region, and has experience delivering this
industry-recogaized curriculum and helping graduates navigating the path to success.
The University of Iowa Labor Center's Quality Pre-Appremiceship Program
The University of Iowa Labor Center rens a US. Department of Labor (DOL) recognized
Quality Pre-apprenficeship Program (QPP). In order to be recognized by the DOL as a QPP the
program must actively recruit pre -apprentices from groups who are underrepresented in existing
registered apprenticeship programs. These groups defined by the DOL are youth (1624), people
of color, women, veterans, and workers with disabilities. The QPP most provide industry
recognized turning and wrap-around support to graduates to assist them in entering Registered
Apprenticeships. The program must else continue to provide support during at least the first half
of the participant's Registered Apprenticeship program to help the participant achieve success in
the skilled construction trade career.
The labor Center QPP reaches residents most affected by the Covid recession. We began to
track whether applicants' employment had been affected by Covid-19 in September 2020 and
have tracked that information through three whom of the program. Between September 2020
and March 2021, 19 of 29 Iowa City applicants (90%) reported that their employment bad been
affected by Covid. Om program has also succeeded in recruiting and graduating participants
from undenepresented groups. To date, a Oral of 164low rns have completed our apprenticeship
readiness course, including 34 women and ]] people of color.
A critical component of the QPP is a five-week Apprenticeship Readiness Course using a Multi -
C fl Core Connecticut (MO) developed by national union and contractor organizations that
sponsor Registered Apprenticeships m the skilled construction trades. The MC3 provides an
introduction to the construction industry and m over 16 decoction trades, including
boBenrWrers, bricklayers, carpenters, electricians, elevator constructions, heat and most
insulators, ironworkers, laborers, operating engineers, painters and glaziers, plasterers and
cement masore, plumbers and pipefitters, roofers, shed metal workers, and construction track
drivers. The course includes OSI - 10 and CPRMirw Aid certification, OPRO Orern
Construction certification, mors of training facilities, introductions O tools and materials,
interviewing skills, construction math review, communication for respectful workplaces, and
financial literacy. Sessions are taught by Labor Center staff as well as guest instructors from
Registered Apprentice programs, which strengthens connections between the program,
graduates, and apprenticeships. We typically schedule classes on Tuesday and Thursday from 5-
9pm and Saturday from 8:30am-4:30pm, in order to accommodate individuals who are working
at other jobs or attending school during the day. Saturday classes are generally held in person,
while Tuesday/Thursday classes are often held online through a Zoom platform.
We have developed a robust array of support structures for participants. We purchased chrome
books and became certified to proctor the National Career Readiness Exam, a required
component of several apprenticeship applications, so we could offer it at times and in locations
that are accessible to our graduates. We established a lending library of starter tools. We have
some limited funding available to assist with transportation and childcare costs to enable
attendance at our Apprenticeship Readiness Course, and partner with grassroots organizations to
link participants with other supports. We host a statewide Iowa Women in Trades peer support
network that meets monthly (online for now) and has attracted women at every stage of their
careers in the trades for practical and supportive mentoring discussions as well as presentations
by regional and national tradeswomen leaders. We also have monthly online meetings open to all
graduates, to discuss the successes and challenges they are facing, and build community among
graduates from various cohorts. We have conducted dozens of workshops on combating
discrimination and harassment and promoting respectful jobsites with apprentices, contractors,
union staff, and training coordinators. We also remain in constant communication with training
programs across the state, to track and connect our graduates with job opportunities that arise.
The Registered Apprenticeship programs covering the Iowa City area that are working with the
Labor Center QPP are:
• Heat and Frost Insulators LU 81 JATC, Rock Island, IL
• Bricklayers & Allied Craftsman IA State Trowel Trades JATC LU 3, Marshalltown
(Statewide)
• Five Rivers Carpenters JATC, Cedar Rapids, IA (training for Carpenters Local 1260,
Iowa City)
• International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Cedar Rapids Electrical JATC LU 405
• NE IA Ironworkers JATC #89, Cedar Rapids, IA
• Iowa Laborers Local Union 43 JATC, Cedar Rapids, IA
• International Union of Operating Engineers Local Union 234 JATC, Indianola
(Statewide)
• Plasterers and Cement Masons Local Union 18 JATC, Rock Island, IL
• International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 81 JATC, Cedar
Rapids, IA
• United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting
Industry of the United States and Canada (UA) Local Union 125 JATC, Cedar Rapids, IA
• Cedar Rapids Sheet Metal JATC Local #263, Cedar Rapids, IA
We have been in communication since the beginning of the program with community-based
organizations across the state who have the trusted connections to recruit strong candidates to the
program and provide community support to boost their success. Locally, we have met with
leaders from organizations including: Iowa's Jobs for America's Graduates (iJAG), Inside Out
Reentry Program, Johnson County Interfaith Coalition, Center for Worker Justice of Eastern
Iowa, Sudanese -American and Congolese -American community organizations, IC Compassion,
South District Neighborhood Association, Catherine McAuley Center, and Dream City, as well
as other area leaders and initiatives.
The ability to host an annual, recurring program in the Iowa City area would allow for
predictable year-round recruitment and dramatically increase the visibility and local impact of
this program. The Labor Center's QPP program operates with grant funding in order to make its
programs free and accessible to marginalized communities. Prior funding has been short-term
and linked to commitments to host cohorts in a variety of regions across the state, which makes it
is difficult to create a predictable schedule around which school counselors, community groups,
participants, and trades leaders can plan.
Proposal
The Labor Center proposes to:
• Publicize, recruit for, and conduct an annually -recurring cohort of its Quality
Preapprenticeship Program for Iowa City area residents each Fall in the years 2022 —2026
(five years total)
o At least 30 preapprentices from the Iowa City area shall enroll in each annual 5 -
week cohort
o At least 70% shall be from underrepresented groups
o At least 80% of enrolled preapprentices shall graduate from the cohort
o At least 50% of graduates shall be employed in skilled construction trades
positions and/or accepted into a Registered Apprenticeship Program within one
year of graduating.
• Provide ongoing year-round support services and mentoring opportunities to all program
graduates, including access to existing Labor Center resources such as:
o Starter tool lending library
o Free National Career Readiness Exam sessions at times and locations accessible
to graduates
o Iowa Women in Trades monthly peer support meetings and leadership
opportunities
o Monthly meetings open to all program graduates with news about job and
apprenticeship openings and peer support discussions about successes and barriers
graduates experience
o Regular communication updates via email and text about apprenticeship and job
openings
o Individualized mentoring and connections with construction industry leaders
• Contract with three grassroots community partners to provide dedicated staff or
leadership assistance with participant recruitment, referrals to wraparound services such
as childcare, transportation, and English tutoring, follow-up outreach and communication
with participants, and feedback about the program's strengths and weaknesses from the
lens of their work with BIPOC communities and groups historically underrepresented in
the trades. The QPP will negotiate agreements with the three Community Partners — New
Creations International Church, Inside Out Reentry Community, and the Center for
Worker Justice of Eastern Iowa, upon being granted the funding. Each of the community
partners have submitted a letter of commitment to partner with the Labor Center on this
project, and copies of those letters of commitment are included as part of this proposal.
Total Grant Funding Requested: $100,000 per annual cohort ($500,000 through 2026)
Annual QPP $100,000 budget for the Quality Pre -apprenticeship Program includes:

Construction Apprenticeship Opportunity Program
Dear Mr. Fruin and Members of the Council:
Inside Out Reentry Community is pleased to have the opportunity to be a partner with the University of
Iowa Labor Center Quality Prcapprcnticeship Program (QPP) in its proposed Construction
Apprenticeship Opportunity Program. The program addresses a significant need in Iowa City.
Returning citizens face many obstacles in obtaining employment that provides secure, family -sustaining
wages and benefits. The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated those problems. Preapprenticeship
programs such as the Labor Center QPP have been found to play an important role in improving
underrepresented groups' access to apprenticeships, as well as completion rates. The Construction
Apprenticeship Opportunity Program appears uniquely positioned to make lasting progress in linking
Iowa City area residents to living wage jobs over the next five years
Inside Out Reentry is committed to contributing the following over the period of the grant:
• Coordinate with the Labor Center to promote Registered Apprenticeship programs and skilled
construction trades careers for returning citizens we serve, and to recruit people to participate in
the Labor Center QPP.
• Provide support to QPP participants that we have recruited from preapprenticeship through their
Registered Apprenticeship to help assure their success.
• Meet with participants referred to us by the QPP to assess their support needs, and provide
available and appropriate support through our programs, or refer them to other appropriate
programs for support.
We are excited for this opportunity to partner with the Labor Center and the City of Iowa City in this
effort to help Iowa City recover from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic through providing
opportunities for Iowa City residents, particularly those from communities currently underrepresented in
the skilled construction trades, to launch careers in the skilled construction trades that will provide them
with family sustaining wages and benefits now and throughout their careers.

program. The program addresses a significant need in Iowa City.
CWJ is a diverse organization of low wage workers, including many immigrants and refugees. Many

Resolution no.
Resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign a State and Local Fiscal Recovery
Fund (SLFRF) grant agreement with the University of Iowa Labor Center to
administer the Quality Pre -apprenticeship Program (QPP).
Whereas, the Quality Pre -apprenticeship Program ("QPP"), a program of Subrecipient, seeks to
create a consistent and sustainable pathway for Iowa City residents, particularly those from
historically marginalized communities that are underrepresented in the trades, to enter and
succeed in Registered Apprenticeship programs and secure high-quality careers in the building
and construction trades; and
Whereas, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, women and minorities continue to face
substantial barriers to entry into, and, for some groups, completion of registered
apprenticeships, despite their availability; and
Whereas, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on increasing these disparities,
including wage gaps and underrepresentation in the trades in Iowa City and elsewhere; and
Whereas, the U.S. Department of Treasury allocated the City funds through the State and Local
Fiscal Recovery Fund ("SLFRF") as part of the American Rescue Plan Act (aka, ARPA) to meet
local needs; and
Whereas, federal regulations permit the City to make subawards with SLFRF funds for the
purpose of carrying out an eligible use under the SLFRF program; and
Whereas, Subrecipient has proposed to the City a partnership with the QPP, in which
Subrecipient will conduct an annually recurring cohort of the QPP for Iowa City residents each
fall; and
Whereas, both assistance for individuals seeing opportunities for economic advancement and
the QPP proposal are eligible uses of SLFRF funds under 31 CFR 35.6; and
Whereas, supporting workforce development initiatives within the City as set forth in the
Subrecipient Grant Agreement is a public purpose; and
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, that:
1. The Mayor is authorized to execute the attached Subrecipient Grant Agreement.
2. The City Manager is authorized to sign amendments to increase the budget for
each activity by up to five percent (5%) and to sign other amendments to the
Subrecipient Grant Agreement as needed.
Passed and approved this day of October, 2022.

Dear Council,
Below are the public comments I made asking the Council to make a public statement or pass a
resolution opposing Public Measure 1. I'm including with two additional paragraphs in italics that
were omitted due to time constraints.
Attached, please find a handout from Everytown along with a sample Resolution that was prepared
for the Johnson County Board of Supervisors. The ICCSD Board chose to make a public statement
opposing Public Measure 1 by way of a letter to the editor that was published in the Daily
Iowan. https://dailyiowan.com/2022/10/16/letter-to-the-editor-iccsd-school-board-voting-no-to-qun-
amendment
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Temple Hiatt
My name is Temple Hiatt. I'm speaking on behalf of the Johnson County group of Moms Demand
Action for Gun Sense in America. Gun safety is on the ballot in Iowa this year as voters consider a
constitutional amendment.
I'm here today to ask the Council to make a public statement or pass a resolution opposing Public
Measure 1.
Iowans of course have the right to own a gun and we have the U.S. Constitution that guarantees
this. But this amendment doesn't do what it says it does. It's funded by out of state special interests
who put profits over people. And instead of protecting our rights, this confusing amendment will
weaken our current laws, make us less safe and even put law enforcement in danger. This ballot
measure will make it even harder for police and other law enforcement officers to enforce the law and
do their job.
1
The ballot will read "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The
sovereign state of Iowa affirms and recognizes this right to be a fundamental individual right. Any and
all restrictions of this right shall be subject to strict scrutiny." Strict Scrutiny is NOT in the US second
amendment. Strict Scrutiny is what makes THIS amendment very different and very extreme.
The gun lobby claims that strict scrutiny amendments "restore" the right to keep and bear arms, when
what they really do is threaten public safety laws forcing judges to apply the highest judicial standard
when analyzing firearm -related laws.
Only three other states have a similar version: Alabama, Louisiana, & Missouri. All three of these
states rank in the top five for highest rates of gun deaths in the US.
In Louisiana, after strict scrutiny passed, a convicted domestic abuser challenged the constitutionality
of a state law prohibiting possession of a firearm by people convicted of misdemeanor domestic
violence crimes.
After strict scrutiny amendments passed in Louisiana and Missouri, convicted felons challenged state
laws that prohibit felons from possessing firearms. At least one lower court found that Louisiana's law
prohibiting felons from having guns was unconstitutional. Fortunately, the Louisiana Supreme Court
reversed this ruling.
This extreme approach would invite frivolous litigation, undermine decades of case law in the state
courts and put in jeopardy many moderate, common sense gun laws. Here's what's at stake in Iowa:
Iowa's current laws
Keep felons from having firearms.
Keep perpetrators of domestic violence from having firearms.
Keep guns out of schools.
Keep restrictions on machine guns and other "offensive weapons."
These are the types of laws, if challenged under this extreme version of the second amendment,
might be declared unconstitutional.
This proposed amendment would also restrict future legislatures from passing future gun safety
legislation, like reinstating our permitting laws. The bottom line is this proposed amendment won't
make Iowa safer.
I encourage voters to text the word IOWA to 644-33 to learn more, then turn the ballot over and vote
NO.

OBINMI
EVERYTOWN
FOR GUN SAFETY
VICTORY FUND
Vote NO on Public Measure #t to Protect Iowa's Gun Safety Laws
Bottom Line: Public Measure #1 is a dangerous proposed amendment to the Iowa Constitution that
would endanger communities by requiring courts to apply "strict scrutiny," the most severe form of
judicial analysis when ruling on challenges to firearm -related laws, rules, and regulations. Public
Measure #1 would threaten basic public safety protections, including laws that prohibit gun
possession by convicted felons and domestic abusers. Voters should vote NO on Public Measure #1.
❑ Public Measure #1 would force Iowa courts to evaluate firearm -related laws using "strict
scrutiny," jeopardizing basic, common-sense public safety laws in Iowa.
➢ The gun lobby claims that strict scrutiny amendments "restore" the right to keep and bear
arms—when what they really do is threaten public safety laws by forcing judges to apply the
highest judicial standard when analyzing firearm -related laws. This standard is not required
by the Supreme Court's recent decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc. v. Bruen.
➢ If adopted, strict scrutiny would threaten to eliminate gun laws in the state, including:
■ Prohibitions on gun possession by convicted felons: Iowa prohibits felons from
possessing firearms. After strict scrutiny amendments were adopted in Louisiana and
Missouri, convicted felons challenged laws in those states that prohibit felons from
possessing firearms.' A lower court found that the Louisiana's law prohibiting felons
from having guns was unconstitutional. Fortunately, the Louisiana Supreme Court
reversed this ruling.' A similar ruling in Iowa is not guaranteed.
• Prohibitions on gun possession by domestic abusers: Iowa prohibits some domestic
abusers from possessing firearms and requires them to relinquish the firearms they
possess. In Louisiana, after strict scrutiny passed, a convicted domestic abuser
challenged the constitutionality of a state law prohibiting possession of a firearm by
people convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence crimes.'
■ Minimum age, secure storage, and sensitive areas restrictions: Strict scrutiny would
directly threaten Iowa's public safety laws, including laws and regulations that prohibit
transferring firearms to people under certain ages,' require firearms to be securely
stored,' and prohibit firearms in sensitive areas, including public college campuses.'
❑ Public Measure #1 would leave taxpayers on the hook for costly litigation.
➢ The Missouri State Auditor determined that Louisiana's strict scrutiny amendment had
required "significant time, effort, and expenditures by Louisiana's public defender and
district attorney's offices," imposing "significant workload and related costs on the Louisiana
government."' The auditor projected that a strict scrutiny amendment in Missouri would
result in lawsuits challenging state gun law that would cost Missouri taxpayers hundreds of
millions of dollars.'

JOHNSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
RESOLUTION OPPOSING PUBLIC MEASURE 1
WHEREAS, research shows that states with weaker gun laws have higher rates of gun
violence.
WHEREAS, the rate of gun deaths has increased 56% from 2011 to 2020 in Iowa, compared to
a 33% increase nationwide. This means that in 2020 there were 131 more gun deaths than in
2011.
WHEREAS, between 2011 and 2020, Iowa's gun homicide rate increased 168 percent—a
higher increase than experienced by 5 out of Iowa's neighboring 6 states.
WHEREAS, gun violence costs Iowa $4.2 billion dollars each year. This cost includes state
medical care, first responders, ambulances, police, and criminal justice services related to gun
violence.
WHEREAS, Iowa voters will vote on a proposed gun amendment to the Iowa constitution in the
2022 November General Election.
WHEREAS, the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects our right to own a gun;
WHEREAS, this proposed gun amendment includes the phrase "any and all restrictions shall be
subject to strict scrutiny," which is not found in the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution;
WHEREAS, only Louisiana, Missouri and Alabama have a similar version of this proposed "strict
scrutiny" gun amendment and all three states rank in the top five for highest rates of gun deaths
in the U.S.;
WHEREAS, if passed, this proposed gun amendment will threaten current public safety laws. A
person could sue to overturn gun safety protections in our state, including laws that prohibit
felons and domestic abusers from possessing firearms;
WHEREAS, if, passed, this proposed gun amendment will invite costly, frivolous lawsuits,
putting taxpayers on the hook for the cost of litigation to defend our current public safety laws;
WHEREAS, if passed, this proposed gun amendment will make it even harder for the police and
other law enforcement officers to enforce the law and do their job.

GUEST COLUMN

AND BRIAN GARDNER
Vote no on
state gun
amendment
As Linn County attorney and
Linn County sheriff, we are
vested with the sacred duty
of protecting the public safety of
the citizens of Linn County. The
Linn County sheriff is tasked with
enforcing the laws of the state of
Iowa and the Linn County attorney
is charged with prosecuting the of-
fenders of those Laws.,
We are concerned about the rise
in violent crime in our nation and
in particular. the rise in violent
crime involving guns in Linn Coun-
ty. Over the last three years, the
Linn County Attorney's Office has
seen a Mo percent increase in felony
charges involving guns. To perform
our jobs effectively we need proper
tools and enforcement mechanisms.
We need smart and effective laws
that reasonably regulate the im-
proper use of firearms_ At a time of
increasing gun violence, failing to
allow for common-sense gun laws
makes absolutely no sense and
greatly endangers all of us,
The passage of Public. pleasure
1, the gun amendment on the back
of the Nov. 8 ballot. would handcuff
police officers on the streets from
preventing gun violence. Handcuffs
should go on criminals, not on cops.
It would strike down laws on the
books that prosecutors use to hold
gun offenders accountable. it would
prevent our children and grandchil-
dren from passing reasonable gun
regulations in the future.
We need the voters to say' No" to
Public Measure 1.
We are not "anti -gun" and we are
not "anti -Second Amendment." We
are not proposing that guns be tak-
en from lawful owners. We support
the right of law-abiding citizens to
own and carry' a gun. Iowa citizens
already have these rights under the
Second Amendment.
The Iowa gun amendment reads
as follows:
"The right of the people to keep
and bear arms shall not be in-
fringed. The sovereign state of Iowa
affirms and recognizes this right to
be a fundamental individual tight.
Any and all restrictions of this right
shall be subject to strict .scrutiny'."
This gun amendment is not
just an Iowa version of the Second
Amendment. Proponents of Pub -

Resolution No. 22-278
Resolution Opposing Public Measure #1, the `Keep and Bear Arms
Constitutional Amendment' Ballot Referendum
Whereas, research shows states with weaker gun laws have higher rates of gun violence; and
Whereas, the rate of gun deaths in Iowa has increased 56% from 2011 to 2020, compared to a
33% increase nationwide; and
Whereas, between 2011 and 2020, Iowa's gun homicide rate increased 168%, which is a larger
increase than five out of Iowa's six neighboring states; and
Whereas, the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects the right to own a gun; and
Whereas, Public Measure #1, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Amendment, is on the 2022
November General Election ballot in Iowa as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment;
and
Whereas, this proposed amendment requires strict scrutiny, the highest level of judicial review, for
any and all gun rights restrictions, which is language not found in the Second Amendment of the
U.S. Constitution; and
Whereas, only Louisiana, Missouri, and Alabama have adopted similar constitutional amendments
requiring strict scrutiny and all three states rank among the top five for highest rates of gun deaths
in the United States; and
Whereas, if passed, the proposed amendment would threaten current gun safety laws such as
those that prohibit felons from possessing firearms, invite costly litigation, impose barriers upon
violence prevention efforts, contribute to overburdened wraparound service programs, and restrict
future legislators from passing gun safety legislation on issues such as red flag laws, permitting,
age restrictions, and storage laws.
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Iowa City City Council hereby:
1. Opposes Public Measure 1, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Amendment, the proposed
gun amendment on the ballot in the 2022 November Election; and
2. Encourages all voters to vote "NO" to Public Measure 1.

COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
November 1, 2022
Resolution adopting an assessment schedule of unpaid mowing, clean-up of
property, snow removal, sidewalk repair, and stop box repair charges and
directing the Clerk to certify the same to the Johnson County Treasurer for
collection in the same manner as property taxes.

Attachments: Resolution w/ Exhibits A and B
Executive Summary:
This resolution is to adopt an assessment schedule for unpaid mowing, property clean-up, snow
removal, sidewalk repair, and stop box repair.
Background /Analysis:
The City has the authority under Iowa Code §364.136 to assess the nuisance abatement costs in
the same manner as a property tax. This resolution allows the City Clerk to certify to the Johnson
County Treasurer the abatement cost to be assessed against the property. This assessment is
being pursued only after the City took many steps to resolve the matter. The City notified the
property owners to abate the nuisance (for example, to remove snow from the sidewalk) and after
the owner did not take action to abate the nuisance, the City abated the nuisance and billed the
owner. After being billed at least twice, these owners still have not paid the abatement costs with
one exception. The owner of the proposed assessment for 841 S. 7th Ave. has only been billed
once because the property is in foreclosure. The assessment against this property is also
pursuant to a court order. The City has sent a letter to the owners giving them notice that this
resolution would be on the agenda, a copy of which is attached to the resolution. No interest will be
charged if the owner pays within 30 days of the first required publication. Attached as an exhibit to
the resolution is a list of the properties that will be assessed and the amount that will be assessed.

Resolution adopting an assessment schedule of unpaid mowing, clean-up
of property, snow removal, sidewalk repair, and stop box repair charges
and directing the Clerk to certify the same to the Johnson County Treasurer

Whereas, the City Clerk has filed with the City Clerk an assessment schedule providing the
amount to be assessed against certain lots for the actual unpaid abatement costs of mowing,
cleaning up property, removing snow, repairing sidewalks, and repairing stop boxes in the same
manner as property taxes; and
Whereas, said schedule is attached as Exhibit A to this resolution and incorporated herein by
this reference; and
Whereas, Iowa Code § 364.13B authorizes the City Council to assess against the property said
abatement costs in the same manner as property taxes; and
Whereas, the City Council finds that the property owners listed in Exhibit A have received a
written notice of the date and time of the hearing on the adoption of said assessment schedule,
in substantially the same form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

Exhibit A is adopted as the final assessment schedule pursuant to Iowa Code § 384.60(1).
The amounts listed in Exhibit A for unpaid mowing charges, clean-up property charges, snow
removal charges, sidewalk repair charges and stop box repair charges are confirmed and levied
against the properties listed in Exhibit A.
