CITY OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT February 29, 2024 Memo from Senior Planner: 2023 Certified Local Government Annual Report Attachments: Memo from Senior Planner: 2023 Certified Local Government Annual Report r CITY OF IOWA CITY MEMORANDUM CITY OF IOWA CITY Date: February 27, 2024 To: Geoff Fruin, City Manager From: Anne Russett, Senior Planner, Neighborhood & Development Services Re: 2023 Certified Local Government Annual Report As a certified local government, the City must submit an annual report to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). This memo pertains to the 2023 Certified Local Government Annual Report [Attachment 1], which will be submitted to SHPO following review by the Historic Preservation Commission on February 8, 2024 and signature by the Mayor. An amendment to the National Historic Preservation Act in 1980 created the Certified Local Government program. The creation of this program established a formal partnership between federal, state, and local governments and encouraged local governments to undertake historic preservation efforts. The program has four primary purposes: 1. Encourage historic preservation at the local level. 2. Encourage local governments to follow the Secretary of the Interior's Standards & Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation in the administration of local historic preservation programs. 3. Provide technical assistance through SHPO. 4. Provide funding opportunities for preservation activities. The annual report is a requirement for maintaining the City's CLG status. The report summarizes the previous year's preservation activities, meetings, and trainings. In addition to being reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission, SH PO requires that the report be presented to the City Council at a public meeting. The report also requires the Mayor's signature. At the City Council's work session on February 6, staff presented a summary of the 2023 CLG Annual Report. The highlights of the report are as follows: • Staff provided technical and design assistance for potential historic review applications. • Staff processed 85 new applications for historic review. • One property was designated as local historic landmark: o 715 N Dodge Street, the Original Emma Goldman Clinic • The 40th Annual Awards Presentation was held on September 28, 2023. • Staff administered the Historic Preservation Fund, which funded 9 projects in 2023. • Staff attended trainings on design review and cultural places. • Staff mailed out letters to property owners within the City's local historic districts, conservation districts, and landmark properties explaining the City's historic review process for exterior modifications.

CLG Standards found in CLG Agreement and National Historic Preservation Act: 1) The CLG will enforce all appropriate state and local ordinances for designating and protecting historic properties. 2) The CLG shall provide for adequate public participation in the local historic preservation programs. a. Historic preservation planning. Examples include the development or revision of an preservation plan, development of a work plan for your commission, etc.1b. Provided technical assistance on historic preservation issues or projects. Examples include working with individual property owners, business owners, institutions to identify appropriate treatments and find appropriate materials, research advice, etc.1c. Sponsored public educational programming in historic preservation. https://iowaartscounci1.slideroom.com/#/Submission/confirmation/7225120 6/16 2/26/24, 11:30 AM Iowa Economic Development Authority-SlideRoom-Submission Examples include training sessions offered to the public, walking tours, open houses, lectures, Preservation Month activities, etc. 7.1. Describe your communities historic preservation planning activities in this calendar year. For the 2023 Calendar year, the work plan was again organized to align the Commission's goals and accomplishments with the Strategic Plan adopted by the City Council. This work plan includes both continued goals and new projects with actions more fully developed so that progress can be achieved. The current, 2024, work plan is reduced to three action items with the hope to make progress on the reduced list. Ongoing work is included with updates as appropriate. Other goals are combined in a long-term goal section. 7.2. Describe your communities assistance with preservation issues or projects in this calendar year. Please be specific (address(es) of the property(ies), what was the issue(s), what assistance was provided. Planning staff provides technical and design assistance to applications for Historic Review. The applicants are encouraged to meet with staff well ahead of time in the project planning process, prior to submitting an application, to discuss their projects. In 2023 the number of inquires continued at previous high levels despite the continued lack of contractors to complete projects. In 2020 we had 248 inquiries, in 2021 a high of 274 inquiries, 246 in 2022, and in 2023 there were 241 inquires From these initial inquires, in 2023 staff received and processed 85 applications plus four from the previous years that had been on hold. Seven of these applications were eventually Voided as duplicates or unnecessary, some following initial review. The number of applications is a decrease from the all-time high of 118 for 2021 but equivalent with 2019, the last year prior to the COVID pandemic. Staff continued to implement the Preservation Fund which was launched July 1 , 2017. The Preservation Fund provides funding up to $5,000 per project as a matching grant or matching no- interest loan to property owners for eligible exterior work on historic properties in Historic or Conservation Districts or on Local Landmarks. The budget was increased by $2000 for the FY2024 to $42,000 per year In the 2023 calendar year, 9 projects were approved. To date, we have approved 54 funding projects on 43 properties and have paid out $165,000 on $404,000 worth of projects. We are currently under contract to provide $33,000 in funding toward $81,000 worth of work. Staff provided assistance in early process review of an overall exterior rehabilitation project for the Old Post Office, an NR and Local Landmark that serves as our Senior Center. Later, the work was approved by the Commission. Staff and the Commission provided a preliminary review of a potential project that would not be possible due to some restrictive setback limitations in the Summit Street Historic District. This https://iowaartscounci1.slideroom.com/#/Submission/confirmation/7225120 7/16 2/26/24, 11:30 AM Iowa Economic Development Authority-SlideRoom-Submission preliminary review occurred at a regular public meeting and provided the owner with valuable feedback for the potential project. Staff worked with the Housing Fellowship to review a new construction project for an infill lot in the Brown Street Historic District that will provide affordable housing. The Commission provided initial guidance at a regular meeting, staff helped navigate the review guidelines and worked with the architect for compliance with the guidelines and so that the new house could be approved by the Commission. 7.3. Please describe your community's public education programs in his calendar year. Please provide specific details such as date of event, description of the event, how many people participated, whether the commission partnered with other organizations. The Commission held the 39th Annual Historic Preservation Awards on September 28, 2023. During the presentation we celebrated the 40th Anniversary of both the awards and the Commission through a video produced by our local Channel 4 that interviewed current and former Commissioners and former staff. The Commission and Friends of Historic Preservation partnered with the recently landmarked Highlander Hotel to hold the event in their ball room. We honored residential and commercial projects from painting, to rehabilitation, to additions, and also presented an award honoring the work of a local preservationist. The Johnson County Commission also participated in the event and presented an award. While we did not count, we estimate there were about 100 attendees. The anniversary video is located here: https://y.outu.be/SeVxP612GAQ 8. Were there any issues, challenges or successes your preservation commission encountered or accomplished this year? One of the biggest challenges the Commission has had during this calendar year is a rash of work completed without permits and the associated historic review. Typically, these projects are reported to staff by the public. Then the Commission must review the work as if it was not already complete. The owner or contractor either did not know they needed a permit and historic review for the work or they knew but proceeded without them anyway. In most cases these projects have resulted in violations and fines and in some cases, the completed work needed to be removed so that it could be redone in compliance with the guidelines and Commission approval. Several internal processes have changed this year. In order to improve timeliness of reviews, several urban planners have been learning to review projects eligible for staff review. In order to improve communication between staff and contractors/applicants, several response letters have been adopted such as letters indicating whether or not an application is complete and to provide comments on submitted applications. The letter template was adopted in lieu of sending an email to this effect. In order to attempt to reduce the number of projects completed without historic review, staff has worked toward increased communication with the building inspectors. The property at 1025 Woodlawn in our Woodlawn Avenue Historic District includes a building that may be the last remaining horse barn within the Original Town. The foundation has been deteriorating over time and the floor was broken decades ago. The property recently changed https://iowaartscounci1.slideroom.com/#/Submission/confirmation/7225120 8/16 2/26/24, 11:30 AM Iowa Economic Development Authority-SlideRoom-Submission hands and the new owner is proceeding with a foundation replacement that was approved by the Commission. At the same time, the neighboring property at 1011 Woodlawn suffered a fire in late 2022. While the work to repair it has been approved, the owner has not proceeded and the status of the project is unknown. The Commission has worked through an appeal to their denial for window replacement at 804 Iowa Avenue (with their denial upheld by the board of adjustment) and several open records requests which have taken valuable time to accomplish. Some historic signage that was installed as part of a recent Civil Rights grant was vandalized. While multiple members of the public notified staff of the incident and it was reported, it is assumed to be a random act and the sign was repaired. 9. What partnerships did your commission form or continue with other entities? Examples include local main street office, local school, historical society, library, museum, service club, etc. If none, enter N/A Staff worked with a student build group (through their architect and professional contractor) to review a new construction project for an infill lot in the Brown Street Historic District that will provide affordable housing through the new property owner, The Housing Fellowship. Staff helped navigate the review guidelines so that the new house could be approved by the Commission. It has been under construction this past fall. In May, the City's Climate and Outreach Coordinator addressed the Commission with an update on the City's Climate Action Plan. The Commission provided comments about their concerns with landfill waste, the consideration of embodied energy and some concerns with the appropriateness of some alterations to historic properties such as wall insulation installation. Iowa City's historic City Park Pool was a subject of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. At the suggestion of several members of the public, the Commission invited the Parks and Rec Director to a meeting to discuss this element of the plan. The Commission had a goal of retaining the historic pool. While City Council approved a plan that will demolish the historic pool, the Commission has continued the dialogue with the Parks Director to encourage a new pool that is sympathetic to the historic pool. In April a City Council member attended the Commission meeting to present about Council's strategic plan. Much of the meeting included discussion of the Commission's work plan and how it was aligned with Council's strategic plan. Staff continued to work with the Senior Center and Facilities staff in the rehab and Master Planning of their building, which is the Old Post Office, both NR listed and a locally designated landmark owned by the city. 10.

Based on the work plan submitted last year for your commission please provide a self assessment of the progress your commission made on the initiatives and programs that were identified last year. During 2023 the Commission made very little progress on their work plan. Staff moved forward with a budget request for the Summit Street Monument and some internal process changes but much of the Commission's time was spent in reviews or preparing for the annual awards https://iowaartscounci1.slideroom.com/#/Submission/confirmation/7225120 10/16 2/26/24, 11:30 AM Iowa Economic Development Authority-SlideRoom-Submission presentation. It is hoped that by reducing the work plan to specific action items that progress may be more possible during this year. 15. Where are your official CLG files located? If your commission also has digital file storage please note how those are being stored. Neighborhood Development Services Department in City Hall, Iowa City 16.

What training topic would be most helpful for your Historic Preservation Commission? We will use this information to help design the CLG Roundtable at the Preserve Iowa Summit and other training opportunities throughout the year. https://iowaartscounci1.slideroom.com/#/Submission/confirmation/7225120 12/16 2/26/24, 11:30 AM Iowa Economic Development Authority-SlideRoom-Submission The shortage of appropriately trained contractors is one of the greatest obstacles for preservation to overcome in our community. This is not a local-only issue. We need to develop solutions to this issue and maybe discussing as a state-wide group would help. One of the barriers to increasing the activity level of individual commissioners may be the reluctance to commit to participating in projects that take time time and resources in short supply.

Staff contacted the owners of the property, Jennifer Glanville and Benton McCune, who have expressed support for the designation and have provided the attached letter. Staff has submitted the application for rezoning on behalf of the Historic Preservation Commission. Designation of the property as an Iowa City Historic Landmark will require Commission approval of any significant changes to the exterior of the building. Landmark status will also make the property eligible for special exceptions that would allow the Board of Adjustment to waive or modify certain zoning requirements and for State Tax Credit funding of rehabilitation work as well as funding through our Historic Preservation Fund for eligible rehabilitation projects. Since the property is already classified as a Key Property in the Brown Street Historic District, landmark designation will not change how the property relates to the Iowa City Historic Preservation Ordinance. As the attached site inventory form describes, this house is a gable-front house with some Craftsman Style detailing built between 1920 and 1926. It is very similar to catalogue houses that were popular at the time, and it may be a representative of this type. The house has a full front porch with a solid balustrade and grouped, battered columns on tall piers. The house has narrow lap siding with corner boards at the first floor. A mid-level band board at the level of the second-floor window sills demarcates a change to shingle siding with mitered corners and a ribbon coursing pattern. On the north side, the house has a single-story, square projecting bay with a shed roof. A full length shed roof dormer punctuates the main gable roof on the north side. The house has five-over-one double hung windows in pairs on the front fagade and singles elsewhere. On the rear, an attached garage has a shed roof and connects to an enclosed rear porch to the south. The attached history of the home details its significance to women's history, social history, and health and medicine at the local level. In 1973, following the landmark ruling in Roe vs Wade, a group of young women formed the Emma Goldman Clinic to provide feminist health care. They formed this clinic in a neighborhood house to provide a new kind of healthcare, one that was welcoming and unlike traditional medical offices. As they expanded, they acquired the home next door and then expanded to the location on North Dubuque Street. The house at 715 North Dodge Street is significant as the founding location for this pioneering organization in women's healthcare. Landmark Designation The Commission should determine if the property meets criterion A. and B. and at least one of the criteria C., D., E., or F. for local designation listed below: a. Significant to American and/or Iowa City history, architecture, archaeology and culture; b. Possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship; c. Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; d. Associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; e. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction; or represents the work of a master; or possesses high artistic values; or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; f. Has yielded or may likely yield information important in prehistory or history. Staff finds that the property is significant for its role in our local feminist history and women's healthcare. As the location of the founding of the Emma Goldman Clinic meets local Criterion A and C. As an intact example of a Craftsman-detailed house from the 1920s, the property meets Criterion B and in Staff's opinion, Criterion E. Staff does not find that there is enough information to consider the property meeting Criterion F at this time. Based on the information provided, staff finds that the property meets criteria A, B, C, and E, and therefore qualifies as an Iowa City Historic Landmark. Attachments include Site inventory forms for the property, a history of the property as the Clinic, a location map, and photos.

Neinner also purchased other discontiguous lots in the north side area in 1846, but this block was his largest single holding as well as being farthest from the new state capital's downtown area. There were other nearby whole blocks still on the market in 1846 so there is no clear reason for his. choice. The lot on which this house was built is not mentioned again in the transfer records until 1913 when John Goss and his wife give a quit claim deed to Leo Goss. The land does not leave the Goss family ownership until Fred A. Goss, et al, deeded it to Fred Racine in 1921. Racine deeded the northern third of the lot on which this house sits to Peter W. Prizler in December, 1925; Prizler promptly deeded it to his wife, Florence A. Prizler, in January of 1926. The Prizlers likely had the present house built at that time and did not sell it until 1944, when ownership was transferred to Anton and Mary H. Piek. Peter Prizler was a truck driver in for Lenoch and Cilek according to the 1928 city directory. Continuation Sheet I I 1 Prepared by Randy camenter Date Jan. 1997 Address 431 Maiden Lane. Town City.

These Founders created a clinic focused on feminist health care - health care for and by women, delivering health care as a woman would have to receive it. It was a pioneering and radical approach to health care at the time.' The Emma Goldman Clinic opened at 715 N. Dodge on September 1, 1973, less than eight months after the Supreme Court decision. It was the first feminist health care clinic in the Midwest and just the fourth in the country-the other three were in California.' The house itself was a symbol of health care done differently- a place that removed the power dynamic of traditional male-dominated health care? The Founders knew they needed a place to house the new approach to health care. So they pooled their resources to purchase the property and fund the start-up costs. Roxie Tullis, one of the founders, used the death benefit of her husband, who died in the Vietnam War. Others got small loans from family and friends. One of the parents paid the women to paint their house rather than a loan." The property at 715 N Dodge was selected out of necessity and opportunity. The Collective needed a property that was zoned commercial, close to campus, and affordable.' The vernacular house, heavily influenced by the Craftsman style, was built around 1920.6 By 1973 was being used as a rental property with three furnished apartments -one on each floor and a third in the basement. And it was for sale. The owners also wanted to leave the furniture behind, so not having to furnish the clinic was a selling feature. The basement apartment continued to be rented and provided additional income for the clinic in the early days.' Once the property was acquired, the Founders went to work to prepare for the clinic's opening. They were a collective, so each decision was made collaboratively. All were equal in the decision-making. One of the easier decisions was the namesake, Emma Goldman, a feminist pioneer in women's health care, among other things.

She spoke to the power dynamics the Founders were trying to change.' By September 1, the clinic opened at 715 N Dodge St. Six women had appointments for the first day.' They built a comprehensive women's clinic, providing abortions, birth control consultation, gynecological care, self-exam clinics, breast screenings, alternative counseling, positive pregnancy groups, well-child clinics, and a 24-hour hotline j°All patients had a patient advocate." The nature of the property, a home in a neighborhood, was part of the point-to provide an atmosphere that was welcoming,familiar, and removed the power dynamic of a traditional medical office.'?The house also emphasized that their services were routine health care procedures. One of the founders, Deborah Nye, said in 1973, "We want the women to be in comfortable, cheerful surroundings. Because it's not a serious operation, it's a minor operation."11 Press account described the waiting room that could be anyone's living room, highlighting the art, books, thriving plants,throw pillows on chairs, and classical music playing in the background."The kitchen was converted to a laboratory but retained the cabinets and countertops. Upstairs, exams rooms looked like bedrooms they once were, with floral curtains and hardwood floors, and canvas director chairs.'$ The Emma Goldman Clinic was home to protests and even an attempted firebombing in the early morning of June 13, 1978. Three Molotov cocktails made from gasoline-filled wine bottles were thrown at the clinic. One landed on the roof and did minor damage. One rolled off and caused minor fire damage in the yard. A third didn't explode." No one was charged.

As the Original Emma Goldman Clinic expanded, it acquired the home just south of 715 N Dodge St.18 By 1985 they purchased and moved to a former pediatricians clinic on N Dubuque Street." Originally called the Emma Goldman Clinic for Women, eventually the name changed to just the Emma Goldman Clinic to be more reflective of the comprehensive services it provides. Eventually, the house at 715 N Dodge was converted back to a single-family home. It looks much like it did in 1973, with some modest changes - commercial railings removed, the front porch opened, and the synesthetic siding removed. The original "Emma Goldman Clinic for Women" signage was moved from 715 N Dodge but is on display at the current Emma Goldman Clinic.

(2) Real Estate Commissions: Costs of real estate commissions paid by the seller to a licensed real estate agent. (3) Permanent Capital Improvements: Reasonable value added to the dwelling unit due to permanent capital improvements installed within the unit by the seller pursuant to a properly issued building permit. (4) Special Fees: The seller shall not levy or charge any additional fees or any finder's fee, nor demand any other monetary consideration other than provided in this Article. 14-4F-7: Renter-Occupied Affordable Housing Renter-Occupied Affordable Housing must satisfy the general requirements set forth in Section 14-4F-5 and the following requirements: 1. Development Requirements: Renter-Occupied Affordable Housing shall be provided in accordance with the development requirements for Owner-Occupied Affordable Housing set forth in Section 14-4F-6A. 2. Program Requirements: a. Rental Rate: The monthly rental rate shall be either: (1) no more than the fair market rents as published by HUD for the Iowa City, Iowa, HUD metro FMR area, as adjusted annually; or (2) for projects that have been awarded LIHTC through the Iowa Finance Authority, no more than the LIHTC rent limits for Johnson County, as adjusted annually. b. Occupancy: Renter-Occupied Affordable Housing units must be rented to Income Eligible Households. If a tenant initially deemed an Income Eligible Household for purposes of occupying an Affordable Housing dwelling unit pursuant to this Article, but is subsequently deemed no longer income eligible upon annual examination of household income, that tenant's unit shall not be considered an Affordable Housing dwelling unit and the rent can be adjusted to market rate. To maintain compliance with the Affordable Housing requirement, the next available rental unit in the project of comparable size or larger must be rented to an Income Eligible Household. To that end, the Renter-Occupied Affordable Housing units need not be specifically designated in a fixed location, but may be floating throughout the development. c. Income Verification: The property owner shall annually verify that the Renter- Occupied Affordable Housing dwelling units are occupied by Income Eligible Households. Prior to the commencement of a lease, the owner shall determine a potential tenant's annual household income according to the HUD part 5, section 8, regulations on annual income codified in 24 CFR 5.609, as amended. Upon extension or renewal of a lease, the owner may determine a tenant's annual household income based upon federal income tax returns for all adults in the household. d. Owner Verification of Compliance: The owner must annually verify to the City that it is in compliance with these program requirements, and provide any documentation as deemed necessary by the City to determine compliance, which may include examination of the documents used to verify tenant income. Any violation of this requirement may result in immediate suspension of any rental permit issued for the applicable unit. Ordinance No. 23-4914 Page 27 14-4F-8: Alternative Methods to Provide Required Affordable Housing. For Required Affordable Housing, the owner may use one or more of the following methods to meet the Affordable Housing Requirement. If the owner desires to provide offsite Affordable Housing and/or a contribution of land, the owner must establish that onsite Affordable Housing or a fee in lieu contribution to an affordable housing fund cannot feasibly be satisfied, as reasonably determined by the City. A. Fee In Lieu Contribution: In lieu of providing Affordable Housing dwelling units, an owner of land zoned a Riverfront Crossings zoning designation pursuant to 14-2G may contribute a fee to a Riverfront Crossings District affordable housing fund to be established by the City. The contribution per dwelling unit shall be determined biennially by resolution of the City Council based upon a formula that analyzes the difference between renting a market rate unit for the Term of Affordability and renting a dwelling unit affordably to an Income Eligible Household. The fund shall be utilized solely for affordable housing purposes, which may include administration costs, in the Riverfront Crossings District. B. Transfer Of Affordable Housing Dwelling Units Off Site: Upon the owner establishing that the affordable housing requirement cannot be satisfied onsite, as reasonably determined by the City, it may be satisfied by designating offsite existing or newly constructed dwelling units in the Riverfront Crossings District as Affordable Housing dwelling units. Any transferred Affordable Housing units shall in no way waive or reduce any obligation to provide Affordable Housing units within the development to which the obligation is transferred. In addition to satisfying the general requirements set forth in Section 14-4F-5, these units must satisfy the following requirements: 1. Development Requirements: a. Provision Of Units: Offsite Affordable Housing dwelling units, whether they are owner- or renter-occupied, shall be provided in accordance with the development requirements for Owner-Occupied Affordable Housing set forth in Section 14-4F-6. The City reserves the right to deny a request to transfer Affordable Housing units to a particular development if it would result in an undue concentration of Affordable Housing units within that development. b. Timing: Where the affordable housing requirement is to be met through the provision of newly constructed dwelling units, such units shall be constructed and pass final inspection no later than the date the occupancy permit is issued for the development creating the need for the Affordable Housing, unless otherwise agreed upon by the City Manager, or designee. Where the affordable housing requirement is to be met through the provision of existing offsite dwelling units, they shall be established as Affordable Housing dwelling units prior to issuance of any occupancy permit for the development creating the need for the affordable housing. The marketing of the Affordable Housing dwelling units should occur no later than one (1) year after the first market rate dwelling unit in the site that generated the requirement passes final inspection, unless otherwise agreed upon by the City Manager. The affordable housing agreement pursuant to Subsection 14-4F-5B-1 shall be recorded prior to issuance of a building permit for the development creating the need for the Affordable Housing. 2. Programming Requirements: a. Where the offsite Affordable Housing dwelling units are to be Owner-Occupied Affordable Housing, those units shall comply with the programming requirements for Owner-Occupied Affordable Housing set forth in Section 14-4F-6. b. Where the offsite Affordable Housing dwelling units are to be Renter-Occupied Affordable Housing, they shall comply with the programming requirements for Renter- Occupied Affordable Housing set forth in Section 14-4F-7. Ordinance No. 23-4914 Page 28 C. Land Dedication: Upon the owner establishing that the affordable housing requirements cannot be satisfied onsite, as reasonably determined by the City, it may be satisfied by the dedication of land to the City of Iowa City or an entity designated by the City of Iowa City for construction of Affordable Housing dwelling units in accordance with the provisions of this section, upon consideration of the following factors: 1. Location. The land shall be located in the Riverfront Crossings District, in an area appropriate for residential redevelopment, as determined by the City; 2. Number Of Affordable Housing Units. The total Affordable Housing dwelling units possible on the land shall be equal to or greater than the number of required Affordable Housing dwelling units; 3. Dwelling Type. The land shall allow for the provision of Affordable Housing units of equivalent type (single-family, multi-family, townhome, etc.), floor area, and number of bedrooms to that which would have been otherwise required; 4. Land Value. The value of land to be dedicated shall be determined, at the cost of the developer, by an independent appraiser, who shall be selected from a list of certified appraisers provided by the City, or by such alternative means of valuation to which a developer and the City agree; and 5. Right To Refuse. The City reserves the right to refuse dedication of land in satisfaction of the affordable housing requirement if it determines, in its sole discretion, that such a dedication is not in the best interests of the public for any reason, including a determination that the City is not likely to construct or administer an Affordable Housing development project in a timely manner due to the unavailability of funds or other resources. Additionally, where the value of the land proposed to be dedicated is less than the value of the fee in lieu contribution established in accordance with the provisions above, the City reserves the right to require an owner to contribute a fee making up this difference in values. 14-4F-9: Administrative Rules The City Manager or designee is hereby authorized to establish administrative rules deemed necessary to assure that the purposes of this section are accomplished. A copy of the rules shall be on file with the City Clerk and available on the City website.

The Historic Preservation Commission annually updates its work plan.The plan for 2024 identifies priorities in relationship to Preservation Plan goals. Goal 1: Identify historic resources significant to Iowa City's past. Goal 2: Continue municipal policy of protection of historic resources and implement this policy through effective and efficient legislation and regulatory measures. Goal 3: Establish economic incentives to encourage the preservation of historic buildings and neighborhoods. Goal 4: Provide the technical assistance necessary to preserve and improve historic properties. Goal 5: Heighten public awareness of historic preservation in the community and improve preservation education efforts for various audiences. Goal 6: Maintain and strengthen preservation partnerships between municipal government, state government, and federal agencies. Goal 7: Establish and implement historic preservation objectives for the University of Iowa campus and surrounding neighborhoods. Goal 8: Establish and support heritage tourism efforts appropriate to Iowa City's historic resources and community needs. Goal 9: Conduct regular review and evaluation of historic preservation initiatives by the historic preservation community. Goal 10: Adopt strategies to preserve historic neighborhoods which reflect their organic development, historical roles and traditions, modern needs, and economic health and stability. Commission Priorities Oak Grove Park(Goal 1,Goal 5, Goal 10) Partner with Parks and Recreation Commission, Public Art Commission, Lucas Farms Neighborhood, and other community organizations to make Oak Grove Park a public space that honors the site's heritage. The park,originally owned by the railroad,was home to many Mexican immigrants who lived in company-owned housing,old boxcars. Many of those immigrants moved into the surrounding neighborhood. When the City sold Elm Grove Park, near the Johnson County Administration Building, it bought the land where Oak Grove Park now sits. The park is currently scheduled for major renovation in LW Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission City Hall,410 E Washington Street,Iowa City.IA.52240 2026 or 2027 which provides plenty of time for us to investigate outside funding sources and develop a community plan that makes it a public space both for the neighborhood but also the City. While the majority of the work for this park will occur in future years,the Commission has determined that it is a priority to begin investigation and research into the history of the are now. Landmark/District Subcommittee (Goal 1, Goal 2, Goal 3,Goal 7, Goal 9, Goal 10) In 1996 the HPC designated the first local landmarks and immediately began a list of the next priorities for designation. In 2015 they revisited the topic and eventually moved forward with a small group of landmarks in 2017. In 2001 the first downtown study resulted in two potential National Register districts. The Commission immediately began work toward a local downtown district. None of these districts moved forward. In 2016 the HPC hired a consultant to update the downtown study that has resulted in a National Register listed historic district. While a few local landmarks have been designated the area, no further local designation has happened. Work between the HPC and the IC Downtown District to develop incentives for preservation were not continued by City Council. There are other large areas of town with historic properties that have never been surveyed such as the Lucas Farms-Kirkwood Avenue area and the Morningside neighborhood.The Commission will form a landmark and district subcommittee to begin to address potential landmarks and potential districts. Engage with the Public and City Council (Goal 2, Goal 3, Goal 4, Goal 5, Goal 9) Recent work plans have included projects that involved the HPC working with the Downtown District and the Parks and Recreation Commission do develop proposals that were taken to City Council but were not picked up by Council for future work or discussion. As the HPC begins to work through landmark and district designations, engaging with both the public and Council will be instrumental to the success of the work.The Commission will continue to foster relationships between organizations and attend meetings and other public forums where they can address historic preservation issues as they arise and propose solutions to incentivize historic preservation. Ongoing work Annual Historic Preservation Awards (Goal 5, Goal 9) The annual awards program highlights successful preservation work within the community and the expertise of contractors and consultants. As one of the Commission's main forms of community outreach,the awards are a high priority every year and attract an audience of about 100 people. We will continue to partner with Johnson County Historic Preservation Commission. Historic Preservation Fund (Goal 3,Goal 4) With the implementation of the fund in FY 2018, the Fund has approved 28 grants or loans improving 25 properties.This is a popular program which has helped property owners maintain the historic character of their properties and has helped keep valuable material out of the landfill. Recently the annual budget was increased from $40,000 to$42,000. LW Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission City Hall,410 E Washington Street,Iowa City.IA.52240 Summit Street Monument(Goal 1,Goal 5, Goal 8) In 2019 the consultant,Atlas Preservation, completed the "Summit Street Monument Assessment and Conservation Options Plan" that was financed in part through a Certified Local Government Grant. Relocating the monument inside and putting a replica in its place was determined to be the best course of action to preserve this important piece of Iowa City History. Staff has requested funding for the 2025 Fiscal Year to complete this funding. Finding a permanent home for the monument is one part of the process without a current solution. Long-Term Goals Landfill diversion through salvage and reduced demolition One of the fundamental principles of historic preservation is to preserve, reuse, and adapt rather than demolish and create waste. Our work and previous commission's work has kept immeasurable tons out of landfills. The Commission shall continue to advocate that embodied energy is worth valuing and continue with education efforts that energy efficiency, repair, and maintenance of older homes looks different than modern structures. Homes built before WWII were designed to be naturally efficient. Repair over replacement was prioritized. Identifying opportunities to highlight Iowa City's history as a leader in the struggle for social justice, racial equity and human rights and preserve the stories and structures. Iowa City's history is rich with the long fight for these values. We should identify those stories and preserve structures that represent those efforts. Particularly as structures from the 1960s and 1970s become historic. Update of the College Green Historic District In 2016,the Commission approved the relocation of the Houser-Metzger House from 422 Iowa Avenue to 623 College Street where the contributing structure had been damaged beyond repair by fire and water. In order for the relocated house to be considered contributing to the Historic District,an amendment to the National Register-listed district is required as a first step.This amendment will be reviewed by the Commission following revision by staff and the District representative. Update of the Iowa City Preservation Handbook Maps The most recent version of the handbook was updated in 2010 and does not include several recent changes and needs to be reviewed for accuracy. Since many properties have changed status (for example,a non-contributing property has become contributing because of siding removal and porch rehabilitation) in the past ten years,the maps, which are the basis for review-type,application of exceptions,and in some cases eligibility of the Historic Preservation Fund,are outdated. The full Commission would review and approve updated maps. A plan was outlined with City staff but with limited staff time this has not moved forward. LW Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission City Hall,410 E Washington Street,Iowa City.IA.52240 Develop a disaster preparedness guide for preservation. As the effects of climate change manifest themselves in more natural disasters,we need to be prepared. The 2020 derecho followed the 2008 floods and the 2006 tornado.The City earned national awards for its work around the 2006 tornado by helping the community to retain and repair its historic structures. The commission and city staff should develop a playbook for when a disaster hits (because one will again).The goal would be to provide support to those dealing with a disaster, provide advice on temporary repairs and help property owners proceed through the permitting and historic review processes quickly for permanent repairs.

While we unfortunately live in a society that is highly individualistic, it is nice to see that the Historical Preservation Commission exists to show that we do owe each other the acknowledgment and safe- guarding of the history of this place. When I bought a house in a conservation district, I started to acquaint myself with the guidelines of the Historical Preservation Commission as knowing them will be important in the maintenance of the property. When a position opened up, I pursued it as a culmination of my time in Iowa City. While serving on the Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission, I have read and will work to insure that the Commission enforces the Historic Preservation Resolution; upholds the CLG Agreement with the State of Iowa, and works in compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Archaeology and Historic Preservation. 14 taA.ar Z a� 2/21/2024 Signature Date O N c� M N O N V F q — x a ` E F i C J� � d"• "w.,. 3 O � e ..w.-•. �—"P e P + O 41 O e N X Nfu 41 rel N 0 a) to cn .,.� O O :E rl OO U to O Li p _0 C: `H O O O M c- O O m N O M � O Q Ov u Fa In o Na � ca a--. a a) O O O O U M N i V) i O Ln O to � O O O O U a) N 41 -0 Ln Ln N E O = O o Q to S-- O U 4 E m Z z o -o ) a) Q� a� a-J - u �+ z -a z cn U o cn O _ Q) o " - C: c mU � -0 ow o E o Q� 4-J 3 oria C) rru M � i O 2� 4-J Z C: U) � U � � ate'' 1 J ru-016 u ra C: �-J O = L- (3.) ra 4-JU oU -a 4-J > v, =3U � R O w � � . ^ U --se LU (1) i O O W rC: L 4-J Q 2N0 � T r 1 �I N O a' L Q � M =3 �� OT-i 1 r Ile ms's.^• >lt;i+c ..'17 ��� / y � , .n- • 1 • r �7 • • • • • U fo • •bro 4-J - • • • • � • C • • • • •0 • • • CL •n • • • • 0 N Q N �..� U Q) U o .� o = �•. o U0 LU O t , z--, ?•� V) V) ' O rhe Q) M rT o W A .I. � ,I, _y / wM �•r r�i N O O pp = O O zz 4— 0 Ct 0 Ln V) LU U 0 4, � O O O •O N ^ Q � i--�•I CLO — � O O ■ O 4-jO , V O cB Lf1 LU cn O cV cB ul�l u�lu� .I it a g C/7 p Ent I[11 2 o � � v m vv �' LIS U m v o w L` o 0 m U 1 .-1 1 lim- . r..r 1 i U � -0 ru Q Q C� Mai ro N c i � > o o c o o a, i 0 ru Ln p ruru � V) o LL JET ct N l O (/) O � _ t1A ct 4-j °V :},� o > aO O n V_ D 0 2 �E . loz-v 351M0 �3 CZO :]lOO uuiea ann as--.911 yams 5NO11VA3l3 aOIH31X3 �wssmrxou r¢c ;.f. a--a (3) a--a n , $ L- O W a--a .— u U — 4--a • �� __ (a _ O Cc U U n F z �-••� 0 - O 4� cc �-••I bn N i O c�i� _ O - C O O �..,, "' '� O c6 '4 U ca O O y--� _ v 'E _ o ° - O U U O O N U m Zi a) °cz (/) M a) iO t ^�-••I 41 a s 1 +� +O c t O N 41 W i -0 6;; Q � Q- C:t 41 r t O N cc V) +� Q -0 a s o O Cc c6 — Oct0 _ v v O ^ t% `- aA or_ U Q d U O -0 �, U Certified Local Government Annual Report Name of Certified Local Government: Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission Signature of person who completed this report: Date: ZI22,I202� cert y that a representative of the historic preservation commission has attended a public meeting and presented the details of this report to the city council(city CLG)or the Board of Supervisors - (county CLG)_ -- -- --- Date of public meeting: February 20, 2024 Signature of Mayor or Chairman of the Board of Supervisors Date Printed: -2A Please upload this completed form with your annual report on SlideRoom.

CITY OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT February 29, 2024 Memo from Associate Planner: Annual Progress Report Attachments: Memo from Associate Planner: Annual Progress Report _ ® i, CITY OF IOWA CITY � MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: Madison Conley, Development Services, Associate Planner DATE: February 28, 2024 RE: Annual Progress Report The City of Iowa City participates in the Community Rating System which is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management practices that exceed the minimum requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Participation in the program results in an automatic 20% discount on flood insurance premiums for structures in the 1% annual-chance flood hazard area. CRS floodplain management activities enhance public safety, reduce damage to property and public infrastructure, and avoid economic disruption and loss by exceeding the minimum NFIP requirements. As a CRS community, we are responsible for floodplain management planning. Iowa City does this through participation in the development of the regional plan, the Johnson County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (2014-2019). Currently, the City of Iowa City is working alongside Johnson County and other local jurisdictions to develop a new Hazard Mitigation Plan that is set to replace the existing one. Included with this memo is the Annual Progress Report regarding Iowa City's progress towards fulfilling the floodplain mitigation actions and projects identified in the Johnson County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. The Annual Progress Report is a credited activity under the Community Rating System. In 2023 the Annual Progress Report was updated to reflect activities and projects completed from the 2022-2023 Capital Improvement Program. The Annual Progress Report has been submitted to City Council through the City Council Information Packet published by the City Clerk. This packet is available to the public on the City's website and the Annual Progress Report has been shared with the local media. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (319) 356-5132 or mcon leyaiowa-city.org.

What are the recommendations for new projects or revised recommendations? Johnson County and its participating jurisdictions should seek out FEMA grant funding from the Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, and the Flood Mitigation Assistance Grant Program. Municipal governments should have access to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grant Program. Plan participants should engage Johnson County Emergency Management Agency (JCEMA) and the University of Iowa for assistance in becoming StormReady Communities and increasing the number of trained spotters. JCEMA can continue to educate and train staff through federal and state emergency management programs and federal weather programs. Communities without comprehensive land use plans could partner with the county government to develop one. Item Number: IP4.

Townsend absent. NEW BUSINESS Community Forum Discussion: Jensen reminded the Board that at the October 10, 2023 meeting, Townsend expressed his desire to hold one, rather than two, Community Forums per year due to low attendance. Jensen noted the board is required to have at least one per year. Remington expressed her desire to continue holding two per year stating the forums offer an opportunity for the public to have a back-and-forth discussion with board members, which is not offered at a regular meeting. Jensen expressed concerns about the cost of advertising the forums as well as the staff time necessary to coordinate a forum. It was determined the Board will schedule one per year with the understanding a second forum can be scheduled should the board agree it is necessary. The next Community Forum will be scheduled in October 2024. ICPD Policy and Iowa Code Section re: Choke Holds— Mekies requested this item be placed on the agenda. Police Chief Liston provided a copy of the City and State choke hold policies to include in the board packet for tonight's meeting. He later provided a revised copy of the City choke hold policy which was emailed to the board members on February 13 as well as passed out at the meeting on this same date. Chief Liston explained there were some formatting adjustments made making the document easier to read. Mekies asked for an explanation of the State and the City choke hold policies. He also asked if a choke hold has ever been used and if so, how many times it has been used by the Iowa City Police Department. Chief Liston explained the City policy is based on the State policy. He pointed out the important part to note is both the State and City policy explain a choke hold as being an intentional and prolonged application of force to the throat or windpipe. He said there has never been a choke hold used by the department since he started in his position as Chief. He noted that anytime an officer puts CPRE February 13, 2024 Page 2 their hands close to a person's neck, the incident is closely reviewed. These incidents, and all use of force incidents, are included in the monthly reports provided to the Board by the Police Department. Chief Liston reported that out of the approximately 65,000 service calls in a year, approximately 240 of those require use of force. Remington asked if the lateral neck restraint is the same as applying carotid pressure. Chief Liston confirmed it is the same. He further noted this includes pressure on both sides of the neck and is very intentional and is considered a choke hold. Recognition of the Iowa City Police Department—This item was requested by Townsend who was absent. Therefore, this item was deferred to the March 2024 meeting agenda. Emergency Vehicle Siren Definitions — MacConnell noted at the January 11, 2024 meeting that she has heard various sirens used by police vehicles and wondered if the siren type used is determined by the type of call they are responding to. Chief Liston said they are not specific to the calls and have more to do with the model of the vehicle. He did point out, however, that there is a slower lower sounding siren that is used as an officer approaches an intersection. He stated it is rare that police officers will respond with both lights and sirens and that more information can be found in the Police Departments Emergency Response Policy. Remington said there is a perception by the public when officers turn on the lights to cross an intersection, they are doing so to avoid sitting at a red light. Chief Liston said he is aware of this perception, but he assured the Board they are responding to something in these instances. He shared that all emergency responses are scrutinized closely. OLD BUSINESS None PUBLIC COMMENT OF ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA No public comment. BOARD INFORMATION None STAFF INFORMATION Neumann reminded the board that one of the board members requested to revisit the offering of the meetings via Zoom and livestreaming after a period of six months. She noted it has been more than six months, therefore, asked the Board members how they would like to proceed. Remington expressed that just because there haven't been any participants to date, it doesn't mean there won't be in the future. She further stated this is a public meeting and it is important the public have an opportunity to attend if they want to. Jensen reported there has been no participation of the public via these avenues to date. It was suggested perhaps a statement be added to the website and agendas explaining that while the CPRE meetings will not be offered via Zoom or livestreamed, if there's a member of the public who would like to make a request to participate in a particular meeting and is not able to attend in person, efforts would be made to make a meeting available for remote participation. Neumann will discuss this option with the City Clerk. She will ask for participant statistics from the Communications staff and share at the March meeting. Remington noted she thinks it is most important to at least offer the Zoom option.

(Iowa City Code Section 8-8-7(B)(3)).) 6. Even if the Board finds that the complaint is sustained, the Board has no authority to discipline the officer involved. BOARD'S PROCEDURE: The Complaint was initiated by the Complainant on August 13, 2023. As required by Section 8-8-5(B) of the City Code, the Complaint was referred to the Chief of Police for investigation. The Chiefs Report was filed with the City Clerk on November 6, 2023. As per Section 8-8-6(D) of the City Code, the Complainant was given the opportunity to respond to the Chiefs report. The Board voted on December 12, 2023 to apply the following Level of Review to the Chiefs Report: On the record with no additional investigation, pursuant to Iowa City Code Section 8-8-7 (13)(1)(a). The Board met to consider the Report on December 12, 2023 and January 11, 2024. Prior to the December 12, 2023 meeting, the Board had the opportunity to review the complaint, the Police Chief's report, and to watch and listen to body worn camera and/or in-car camera footage showing the interaction between the officers and the complainant. FINDINGS OF FACT: The complainant filed a confidential Community Police Review Board complaint form 65 days after the alleged incident he describes took place. The complainant reported that while as a witness for a trial, an ICPD officer reportedly had prior communication with the complainant in regard to a harassment claim. During the trial, the ICPD officer reported that he alerted the complainant to no longer engage in communication with the individual who filed the original charges against him. The complainant reports that the officer provided false statements during the trial and denies having ever been told to stop communication with the individual who filed the charges. The complainant states that the officer did not provide accurate information to the court and thus he is requesting a jury to review the case. The complaint form then describes an arrest made on April 28, 2023 in which the complainant was arrested as related to the above charges, specifically a warrant on harassment. During this arrest, the complainant remained silent in the back seat of a police vehicle for roughly fifteen minutes until he spoke to the officer to ask that he explain the process of what occurs when he arrives at the jail, the officer then explained this process. During a phone discussion with the officer prior to the above arrest, the complainant described being upset with the mother of his son and expressed his concern regarding a medical-related decision that he felt he was not included in. The complainant directly reported to the officer that he planned to continue to send the mother of his son news articles regarding the medical- related item and the officer provided an explanation regarding how this will be considered continued harassment. The officer later spoke with the mother of the complainant's son who reports threats have been made against herself and her family and reports feelings that the behavior is aggressive in nature. As a result of the above items, the arrest occurred and was followed by a trial later. FILE®.
