City Clerk Kellie Grace: Escucha Mi Voz Iowa members,Johnson County Public Health, and Ul College of Nursing conducted a wide-ranging Whole Worker Health survey of 481 French and Spanish speaking Iowa City and Johnson county residents.The results found a widespread demand for Covid-19 information,tests, and vaccines, and identified several structural barriers to health equity for immigrant and refugee workers. I am writing to ask you if we could have 15-20 minutes on the March 19 city council agenda to present our survey, report,findings,and recommendations to the Iowa City City Council.

This report analyzes the results of the October/November 2023 survey, identifies the structural barriers to vaccine access and health equity, and offers recommendations to policymakers and the public.

Email: info@escuchamivozia.or� 2 Introduction The Whole Worker Health Survey was conducted in Spanish and French by trained Community Health Organizers over seven weeks in October and November 2023. The survey was conducted by phone and in-person with 481 respondent-residents of Johnson County. Of the 481 responses, 240 were conducted in-person, either at the Escucha Mi Voz Iowa office in Iowa City, or in the private mobile homes and apartments of the respondents. The other 241 responses were completed over the phone. All data was recorded, stored, and secured in Escucha Mi Voz's EveryAction database. The findings reveal that the working-class, immigrant and refugee communities who were hit hardest by the Covid-19 pandemic continue to face entrenched structural barriers to vaccine access and health equity. The structural determinants to health identified include: 1) Low-wage working conditions in essential industries without the benefits of a strong union contract like livable wages, health insurance, and paid sick leave. 2) Expensive, overcrowded, and substandard housing. 3) Immigration status and primary language other than English. 4) The limited planning of policymakers and service providers to effectively implement a proactive and coordinated outreach program and education campaign. 5) The lack of power directly impacted communities currently have to change the economic and social conditions affecting their pay, working conditions, housing, and education. Based on these findings, the report recommends: 1. For city and county policymakers, fully fund innovative community health partnerships and new permanent supportive housing developments for immigrant and refugee workers. 2. For stateop_licymakers, pass legislation guaranteeing paid sick leave, drivers licenses, and Medicaid for all workers, regardless of immigration status. 3. For foundations and fundersfocus grantmaking on dynamic, base-building organizations with a real strategy to scale up through grassroots leadership training and 1on1 relational organizing. 3 Literature Review A dangerous new variant of the Covid-19 virus- known as the JNA variant- emerged in September 2023 and quickly spread across the country, becoming the dominant strain in the United States by January 6, 20241. At the same time, less than 10 percent of U.S. adults report being inoculated with the new Covid-19 vaccine Z. While the rate of Covid-19 infections and mortalities in immigrant and refugee communities has declined since 2020, public health data from Iowa and across the country continues to highlight the racial disparity and disproportionate impact of the pandemic on immigrant and refugee workers. According to an August 20, 2022 report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development3: Immigrants are disproportionately affected by COVID-19[and are]much more likely than their native-born peers to catch the disease, to develop severe symptoms, and to face higher mortality risks. This is due to a range of factors such as poorer housing conditions with higher incidences of overcrowding;a higher dependency on public transport; overconcentration in areas with higher population density; fewer possibilities for teleworking and a higher incidence of frontline jobs;as well as language barriers and other structural obstacles to access health services and communications regarding prevention measures. Immigrants are also underrepresented among those who get vaccinated. "We consider immigration as a social determinant that has an impact on health and overall well-being and that puts immigrant communities at greater risk for COVID-19 infection while they are also less likely to access health care or have greater delays in entry into health care,"a team of researchers wrote in a peer-reviewed article published by the American Journal of Public Health'.

When controlled for hourly wages and the total number of people in each household, virtually all survey respondents qualify as low-to-moderate income, under 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), with the majority under 50 percent AMI'.

This variance between ethnic groups is also reflected in health insurance coverage. While 53 percent of all respondents stated they do not have health insurance, 83 percent of Hispanic/Latino respondents do not have health insurance compared to just 11 percent of Black African respondents. This is likely because a majority of Black African respondents have an immigration status that allows them to work legally in industries that offer health insurance to their workers, such as meatpacking and food production. One in five respondents reported they are not able to afford groceries every week, including 27 percent of Hispanic/Latino respondents and 11 percent of Black African respondents.Twenty percent of respondents stated they do not know where they can access free food in the Johnson County community, including 28 percent of Hispanic/Latino respondents and 8 percent of Black African respondents.

However, structural barriers to access continue to contribute to persistent vaccine hesitancy for 37 percent of survey-takers, barriers including: 1) Cost. 2) Work. 3) Transportation, and 4) lack of information, education, and training.

Findings Summary: Top Issues Include Immigration Reform, Affordable Housing, Health Insurance, and Higher Wages When asked, survey respondents identified immigration reform, health insurance, raising wages, and affordable housing as the top issues impacting their lives. While only four percent of respondents stated they had been the victims of wage theft in the last 12 months, 90 percent reported they have never attended a workers' rights training. The nine percent of respondents who chose Other Issue were Black African refugees who stated they were not timely notified about the 2022 Johnson County Direct Assistance Program', and did not have an equal opportunity to apply for the $1,400 household stabilization program.

Raising wages Affordable housing 22.0% 21.9% Other 9.1% Health insurance 22.3% Immigration reform 74.8% Conclusion and Call to Action: Immigrant and Refugee Workers Need Jobs, Housing, and Services The Covid-19 pandemic is ongoing, and while demand for new vaccines is high, structural determinants such as housing, work, transportation, insurance, and education all contribute to persistent vaccine hesitancy. Bold public policy is needed to improve health access and address the root causes of the social problems negatively impacting essential immigrant workers in Iowa. Promoting whole worker health equity is not only the right thing to do, it is also good economics. Immigrant workers fueled the U.S. economy through the pandemic and helped grow both the labor market' and Iowa's population'. ' Immigration is taking pressure off thejob market, experts say.CNBC, March 2,2024 httos://www.cn bc.com/2024/03/02/imm i2ration-taking-pressure-off-the-iob-market-us-econo mv-exoert.htm I 9 New report finds immigrants are a major factor in Iowa's future growth,July 13,2023, KWWL httos://www.kwwl.com/news/dubuoue/new-report-finds-immigrants-are-a-major-factor-in-iowas-future- rp owth/ article f53a4c68-21 a0-11ee-ae62-07393e32102e.html 13 Recommendations for Policymakers and the Public: 1) Fully fund innovative community health partnerships to communicate the latest pandemic and public health information to immigrant and refugee workers through trusted organizations with a mass base of support in the impacted communities. 2) Rezone city neighborhoods for multi-family development and allocate remaining American Rescue Plan dollars to affordable housing and permanent supportive housing initiatives. Housing is one of the most important structural determinants to whole worker health equity, and the acute scarcity of affordable housing in Johnson County can be addressed with multi-family zoning and more public investment in projects to scale. 3) Pass state legislation guaranteeingl2aid sick leave, drivers licenses. and Medicaid for all workers, regardless of immigration status. Immigrant workers are vital to the state's economy and Iowa businesses. Paid sick leave, drivers licenses, and Medicaid for all strengthen the frontline workers Iowa depends on for essential goods and services. 4) Focus government and foundation grantmaking on dynamic. base-building projects that address the core issues of jobs, housing, education, and services to scale. The whole worker health equity survey is one of the most comprehensive datasets available to policymakers, funders, and the public clearly articulating the expressed needs and priorities of hundreds of directly impacted immigrant and refugee workers. If You Build It, They Will Come Vaccine clinics in December,January, and February co-sponsored by Johnson County Public Health and Escucha Mi Voz Iowa succeeded in vaccinating dozens of immigrant workers, including many who received a Covid-19 vaccine for the veryfirst time. 14 Organizations with a proven track record of success a) delivering accurate and culturally competent information; b) providing transportation, interpretation, and education; and c) pre-screening for social service eligibility; can move the needle to create vaccine demand, reduce vaccine hesitancy, and connect residents with the jobs, housing, and services they need to survive.

CITY OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT April 11, 2024 Iowa City Municipal Airport: 2023 Annual Report Attachments: Iowa City Municipal Airport: 2023 Annual Report Iowa City Municipal Airport 2023 Annual Report Executive Summary This report is written to cover two periods in relation to the operations at the Iowa City Municipal Airport. Activities and events (including construction) are reported via the calendar year which covers the period from January 1 —December 31, 2023. Financial information is presented in the fiscal year format which runs from July 1 —June 30. The Fiscal Year information in this report covers Fiscal Year 2023. The Iowa City Municipal Airport is owned by the City of Iowa City and operated by the Iowa City Airport Commission. The Mayor and City Council of Iowa City appoint members of the Iowa City Airport Commission, who serve 4-year terms. The Iowa City Municipal Airport houses approximately 92 aircraft, which are maintained in: 59 T-hangars (6 buildings), 1 maintenance facility, 8 corporate hangars, 1 corporate building, 1 Fixed Based Operation (FBO) maintenance hangar, and 1 FBO cold storage hangar. The Iowa City Airport also has 2 privately owned hangar buildings, one constructed by the FBO and one by a 3`d party. Two runways, with a maximum landing distance of 5002' (Runway 7/25) and 3900' (Runway 12/30) feet, are used during approximately 33,000 operations annually. The based aircraft consist of approximately 7 jet aircraft, 7 multi-engine (piston) aircraft, 2 helicopters and the remaining count of single engine aircraft. Based on a 2022 Iowa Department of Transportation Economic Impact Study,the Iowa City Municipal Airport contributes $24 million and impacts 241 jobs to the local economy. Among Iowa's 96 general aviation airports, it has the second largest economic impact in the State. The Iowa City Municipal Airport operations budget for FY23 presents income of$410,661 and expenses of$450,628. The Iowa City Airport has not used general fund payments for operational funds since FY2019. The Airport does use $100,000 from the general fund as grant matching funds for capital projects. The Iowa City Airport Commission has completed a multi-year, multi-phase project to clear the runway approaches of obstructions and relocate the Runway 25 threshold according to the 2016 Airport Master Plan. The project also relocated the Runway 25 threshold expanding the landing distance from 4355' to 4782'. A similar project will occur on Runway 12/30 in which a displaced threshold will be installed on the Runway 12 end and additional pavement added to the Runway 30 end. This will have the effect of shifting the runway and its associated protection zones away from the northwest neighborhoods, reducing the impact of runway protection zone limits on the neighborhoods underneath. The airport received FY23 grant funding from the Iowa Department of Transportation Aviation Bureau to add additional taxilanes for future hangar construction, assist in installing wayfmding signage at the airport, and to do some minor rehabilitation work to the terminal building. Iowa City Municipal Airport—Annual Report 2023 Page 2 AIRPORT BACKGROUND The Iowa City Municipal Airport is located approximately 2 miles southwest of downtown Iowa City. The Iowa City Airport Commission has immediate controlling responsibility for the Iowa City Municipal Airport. The Airport Commission consists of five voting members,who are directly responsible for the planning, operation, and budget management of the Iowa City Municipal Airport. The Commission works collaboratively with Iowa City's elected officials and staff to ensure safe, efficient, and effective use of the airport to support Iowa City and the surrounding area. The Iowa City Municipal Airport is one of the busiest general aviation airports in Iowa with approximately 33,000 flight operations annually. It is currently home to approximately 92 based aircraft located in 59 T-hangars, and 8 corporate hangars. These aircraft are used for charter flights, corporate activity supporting local business, flight instruction, rental, pleasure, and charity purposes. Additionally, thousands of flights in and out of the airport support important community activities such as the organ transplant program and Air Ambulance flights to and from The University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics, as well as economic development for the area. Local businesses that utilize the airport include Billion Auto Group, ITC Midwest,Kum & Go, Scheel's, Jimmy Johns,MidAmerican Energy, and many others. Existing airport facilities include two runways,the terminal building, a maintenance facility, hangars, aircraft fueling facilities, aircraft parking ramp, tie down apron, and vehicle parking area. Runway 7-25 serves as the primary runway with a length of 5002 feet and has a full parallel taxiway. Runway 12-30 serves as a secondary crosswind runway with a length of 3900 feet. The airport terminal building, built in 1951, includes a pilot's lounge with wireless internet access, an FAA certified flight simulator room, a lobby, a conference/class room, vending machines, and administration facilities for airport management and a fixed based operator. The airport has a rotating beacon and lighted wind indicator. The airport is equipped with a remote communications outlet(RCO) and an automated surface weather observation system (ASOS). The airport has been an important element in the Iowa City community since 1918 and in 1944 was placed under the control of the Iowa City Airport Commission by public vote. Since that time, the airport has remained under the governance of the Airport Commission with fiscal support from the City of Iowa City. The airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). The NPIAS identifies the Iowa City Municipal Airport as a general aviation airport. This designation means that the federal government currently provides funding annually through the FAA for eligible capital improvement projects at the airport. The Iowa Department of Transportation Aviation Bureau's Aviation System Plan identifies the Iowa City Municipal Airport as an Enhanced Service Airport. Enhanced Service airports are defined as airports that serve nearly all general aviation aircraft and are economic and transportation centers for the state. Several businesses and University of Iowa enterprises are stationed at the airport. Jet Air, Inc. is the fixed base operator, with 102 employees at Iowa City and their other locations. The Iowa City-based staff of 49 offers charter flights, flight instruction, aircraft sales, maintenance, fueling and other ground handling services, and sales of aviation related merchandise. Numerous Iowa City Municipal Airport—Annual Report 2023 Page 3 faculty members at the University oflowa College of Engineering use the airport for federally funded research on aviation technology and atmospheric weather phenomena. This research is primarily based out of the Operator Performance Laboratory located in building H and includes 7 full-time staff and 5 full-time student workers. Care Ambulance operates a full-time ambulatory service with patients transferring to and from area hospitals. They have partnered with Jet Air as Jet Air Care to provide medical transport flights to and from the Iowa City area. AIRPORT VISION STATEMENT The Iowa City Municipal Airport is an integral community asset that supports the strategic goals of the City of Iowa City and benefits the region's commerce, vitality, and community pride. AIRPORT MISSION STATEMENT The Iowa City Municipal Airport, directed by the Airport Commission,provides a safe, cost- effective general aviation facility.

Iowa City Municipal Airport—Annual Report 2023 Page 5 ipoce I' N s r EAA Young Eagles Program The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) created the Young Eagles program in 1992 as an effort to get youth interested in aviation. Since then, over 2.2 million flights have been donated by EAA members to encourage youth to get involved with aviation. The Iowa City Airport continues to host EAA Young Eagles activities with cooperation from the Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 33 group. The Young Eagles program returned on June 3`d, 2023 after a year off due to construction and gave flights to 50+ children. Iowa City Municipal Airport—Annual Report 2023 Page 6 NJOS Summer of the Arts Drive In Movies: The Airport continues with some programming that developed from the necessisty of the pandemic. Summer of the Arts hosts Drive-In movie nights which uses the side of a hangar as a movie screen to project a movie for the public to see. Photo:Summer of the Arts ART MURAL and CHARITABLE GIVING FUND The Iowa City Airport Commission partnered with the Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee to turn one of our t-hangar buildings into a canvas for a mural. The project was also an opportunity for the Airport Commission to kick off its Community Foundation Charitable Giving Fund which is being managed by the Community Foundation of Johnson County. The Airport Commission raised nearly 540,000 from private donations to complete the mural project. The establishment of the Community Foundation fund gives the Airport Commission another avenue to be able to accept and retain donations for special projects or other improvements at the Iowa City Municipal Airport—Annual Report 2023 Page 7 Iowa City Municipal Airport. The fund will be used as a resource for future donation supported projects. The artist, Jenna Brownlee, created a mural based on the history of the Iowa City Airport. The aircraft represent significant eras in that history. r� i ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY In 2022, the Iowa Department of Transportation concluded an economic impact study for the aviation industry in the state of Iowa. The Iowa City Municipal Airport is categorized as an enhanced service airport in the Iowa aviation system. "Enhanced airports offer facilities and services meeting the needs of a full range of general aviation activities. These airports are critical air transportation links for companies and organizations and are able to accommodate nearly any type of business jet. Airports serve as the front door to communities and the fixed base operators who provide aviation services are important to leaving a positive first impression on business and visitors coming to the community." That study determined that the Iowa City Municipal Airport impacted 241 jobs and supported $24 million worth of economic activity annually. The Iowa City Municipal Airport also sees over 18,000 visitors per year. Based on economic activity,the Iowa City Municipal Airport ranks as the 2nd largest general aviation airport in Iowa(IDOT"Iowa Aviation Economic Impact Report 2022").

In FY2019, for the fust time in modern history,the City of Iowa City contributed zero dollars towards regular operations at the Iowa City Municipal Airport. That was the final reduction from FYI 8's $9,687 level. The Iowa City Municipal Airport receives operating revenue primarily from two sources: rental income, and fuel sales. Rental income is the combination of ground, hangar, and farming leases which comprises approximately 85% of the airport's annual revenue. Fuel flowage fees (a fee charged by the airport for tenants that use or sell fuel from the airport's fuel storage system) brings in $.10 pergallon of fuel moved through the system,with a new rate that of$.15 per gallon that began in September 2023. This represents approximately 15% of the airport's annual income and can fluctuate dramatically based on economic or local operating conditions. The Revenue increase in fuel flowage is expected to be over $20,000 per year. The Iowa City Municipal Airport operations budget for FY23 shows income of$410,661 and expenses of$450,629. The shortfall can be attributed to the costs related to the Airport Strategic Plan update, Airport Mural payments, and increased personnel costs due to a change in the Airport Manager's pay grade classification. The Airport Commission examines T-hangar rental rates on an annual basis, occasionally adjusting them based on local and market conditions. The principal targets for comparing rates are those airports within a one-hour drive time to the Iowa City area. The target comparisons generally consist of Cedar Rapids,Marion, Tipton, and Washington airports. We also compare our rates to Ames as the other airport that serves a major collegiate community. Following the latest review and in the midst of the inflationary spike of fuel and utility costs, the Airport Commission voted to maintain the current lease rates for the 2023-2024 year. Airport usage information is best tracked from the fuel flowage fees for fuel purchased at the airport. The two sources of fuel flowage are Jet Air, our retail fuel seller, and University of Iowa's Operator Performance Lab which operates a tank dedicated to the facility. There are two types of fuel sold at the Iowa City Airport. MOLL is commonly used for piston aircraft engines, and Jet-A is a kerosene blend that is used in jet engine aircraft. Fuel Flowage Tracking fuel sales commissions and sales volumes by our FBO is one way the airport uses data to track activity. In FY2023, sales commissions brought in over $48,000. This is a decline from FY22, however that year also included proceeds from fuel sales that occurred in FY21 which impacted the final figures.

Jet-A fuel sales in 2023 were 444,097 gallons which represents a 12% increase from FY22's level of 396,685 gallons sold. MOLL saw sales of 65,124 gallons which represents an 8% increase from FY22's 60,550 gallons sold figure.

This gives another avenue to continue to track operation counts. The Iowa City Municipal Airport has 33,300 operations per year. An operation is a takeoff or landing of an aircraft at the airport. In comparing activity on an operations comparison, Cedar Rapids (CID) our nearist commerical airport has 38,300 with just over 13,000 being scheduled airline operations.

If the Airport Commission does not receive a grant for a planned project utilizing these funds,then that project and subsequent projects are either delayed or cancelled. Federal (FAA) grants support 90% of the project costs and are typically associated with major airside projects such as runway rehabilitation and maintenance. State grants support 70-85% of project costs and are typically associated with minor pavement or facility repairs and upgrades. The Airport Master Plan is a strategic document that lays out the goals and operation of the airport over a 20-year period, the previous Master plan was completed in 1996. In 2016 with FAA grant support, the Iowa City Airport Commission adopted the latest Airport Master Plan. During the process of creating this plan, the Airport used a Master Plan advisory group consisting of City and Airport Administration officials, Airport tenants, and neighborhood representatives. The plan was created using this group and then forwarded to the Iowa City Airport Commission for final approval. The Airport Commission uses this document to guide the project plans for the continued development and operation of the Airport. The Airport Commission also maintains a 5-year strategic plan which assists the Commission and staff in prioritizing and focusing on non-aeronautical improvements to the airport. The strategic plan helps to prioritize those items not covered by the FAA Airport Master Plan. The current 5-year plan was adopted in June 2023 and runs through 2028. The Iowa City Municipal Airport completed one of the major projects coming from the Airport Master and that was the reclassification and reconfiguration of Runway 25. Based on the change Iowa City Municipal Airport—Annual Report 2023 Page 11 of aircraft design (common aircraft using the airport). The Airport was able to reclaim nearly 700 feet of runway length that can now be used as part of an aircraft's landing distance calculation. This project, combined with the Airport's work to clear up obstructions in the runway approach paths, changed the available landing distance on Runway 25 from 4196' to 4872'. Additionally, several different approach options for nighttime operations were brought back online as a result of the of the obstruction mitigation project. The Airport had to work with the FAA to redesign the instrument approach to Runway 25 as well as to relocate the precision approach path indicator(DAPI) lights which are owned by the FAA. The coordination for this project began in 2019. The Airport Commission also began its data collection work for the reconfiguration of its secondary runway (12/30). This work will create a displaced threshold approximately 500' from the pavement edge on Runway 12 and add 300 feet of concrete to the end of Runway 30. The project has the effect of shifting the runway to the southeast and pulling the runway 12 protection zones further into the airport property. This creates a higher approach path over the neighborhood's northwest of the airport. A grant for this project was awarded in 2023 and construction activity will take place in 2024. The Iowa City Airport used grant funding from the Iowa DOT Aviation Bureau to extend a taxilane in the south t-hangar complex to allow for future hangar development. Additional extensions of taxilanes in the area are planned as needed for additional growth. A second grant from the Iowa DOT Aviation Bureau will allow for additional work to maintain the terminal building. This project will remove the current paneling where the airline baggage door was located and install glass block and better weather insulation for the building. BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, or BIL, (also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act)passed by Congress and signed by the President in 2021 provided additional funds through a number of different programs to the aviation community. As part the bill, the Iowa City Municipal Airport will receive a direct appropriation of funds based on a formula for 5 years. The BIL program will distribute approximately $1.5 million to the airport over 5 years. Additionally,the program calls for $1 billion per year for 5 years to provide grant opportunities to airports to replace/modernize terminal buildings. The Iowa City Airport Commission used the fust year allocation of funding to conduct a space needs study of the terminal building and create a plan for redevelopment of the terminal area. The existing 1951 terminal building has reached the end of its useful life as the airport continues to experience space needs shortages. The study outcomes determined that the airport terminal building should provide approximately 50%more space than it currently has in order to accommodate the operations active today. This includes additional office space for the multiple Iowa City Municipal Airport—Annual Report 2023 Page 12 flight instructors currently sharing an office as well as updates to pilot lounges, conference room and other administration offices. The Iowa City Airport Commission intends to use the rest of the BIL funds to install solar power arrays in two phases. Phase 1 includes approximately 300 solar panels which will be used to offset the energy requirements of the airport runway lighting, as well as the terminal and ambulance building. Phase 2 will install another approximately 300 panels which will be used to offset the electrical needs of the maintenance shop as well as space used by the Operator Performance Laboratory. LOCAL AND PRIVATE INVESTMENT IN AIRPORT FACIIdTIES In 2016,the Airport Commission entered into agreements with two different private entities for the construction of additional hangar space. The Fixed Based Operator leased ground from the Airport Commission in order to begin construction of a 10,000 square foot storage hangar facility. This construction was completed in 2017. The Airport Commission also entered into an agreement with another tenant to build a 2900 square foot storage hangar. This construction was also completed in 2017. The Airport Commission applied for, and was awarded, a grant for FY2023 for construction of additional infrastructure in the south t-hangar area to help facilitate new private hangar developments. Construction of this project was completed in July 2023. These investments by private parties allow the airport to increase the available space for aircraft storage, and benefit from the increased fuel flows at a minimal cost to the airport. The Airport Commission continues to seek out ways for private investment into airport infrastructure to benefit both aviation users and the airport. FUTURE AIRPORT ACTIVITIES/PROJECTS Utilizing federal and state funding, the Iowa City Airport Commission continually looks for ways to improve the Iowa City Municipal Airport. These programs will be used for future projects like the aircraft parking expansion, additional runway maintenance and preservation, and terminal area redevelopment. In October, the Airport Commission applied for a planning grant to complete a historical and environmental review process of the plans for a new terminal building. If awarded this planning would set the stage for a future funding application to replace the existing terminal building with a new modern building that is energy efficient and meets the existing needs of the airport users. FAA Grant Pre-Applications are due annually in December. The Iowa City Airport Commission has submitted its application for funding which includes projects being derived from the Airport Iowa City Municipal Airport—Annual Report 2023 Page 13 Master Plan. Additional FAA projects will include runway marking and lighting changes, additional obstruction mitigation and expansion of the aircraft parking areas. In August, The Iowa Department of Transportation awarded the Iowa City Airport two grants for FY2024 projects at the airport. These grants will be used for terminal building improvements and airport signage. State Grant Applications are due annually in the spring. The Airport has utilized funding from the Iowa DOT Aviation Bureau to finance repairs to hangars, taxiways, and other infrastructure which would have a low priority on the FAA scale. The Iowa City Airport Commission will continue to look for ways to implement its strategic planning goals. Those goals are to increase the community's use and understanding of the airport; develop airport infrastructure to support growing airport uses; continue to develop funding mechanisms for airport operations, improvements, and maintenance; and sustaining strong communication with City Council, city Administration and other city departments.

CITY OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT April 11, 2024 Ad Hoc Truth and Reconciliation Commission: April 4 Attachments: Ad Hoc Truth and Reconciliation Commission: April 4 April 4,2024 Draft Ad Hoc Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC)Minutes The Assembly Room,Iowa City Senior Center Commissioners present: Amos Kiche, Cliff Johnson, Chastity Dillard,Lauren Merritt,Wangui Gathua. Commissioners on Zoom: Chad Simmons. Commissioners not present: Louis Tassinary. Staff present: Redmond Jones, Stefanie Bowers. Recommendation to City Council: No. Meeting called to order: Approximately: 7:15 PM. Reading of Land Acknowledgement: Merritt read the Land Acknowledgements. Debrief from Fact-Finding and Truth-Telling Events: Commissioner Johnsons shared his thoughts on the truth-telling events, stating he thought the event(s)went well and there was growth with the work that was done. Johnson also mentioned the idea of expanding these events into the community to get others involved. Commissioner Kiche shared that he learned a lot from those who participated in the events. Kiche was able to learn more about what goes on in the community including how small business owners are affected and how systems(school system,legal system) have failed individuals. Kiche suggested vetting people who will be speaking at truth-telling events with more detail and communication to avoid surprises during the events. Kiche also suggested sticking to guidelines on how the events should operate. Commissioner Merritt agreed on the idea of a vetting process for the purpose of safety and productivity in future events. Merritt also shared that there is potential to do more with these events in the future. Commissioner Summons spoke about the positive aspects of the events, including the process of events (fact finding,truth telling, and healing circles). Simmons shared that the event was not consistent with the model discussed regarding how the events would operate. Simmons also shared that there is a need for better understanding of the systems(police, education,housing) that the commission is working to fix to come up with solutions they can present to the city to bring about improvements for the community. Merritt suggested implementing time to process each truth-telling and putting aside additional time to brainstorm options for solutions. Johnson recommended more advertisement to get more people involved. Commissioner Gathua suggested implementing a stricter time limit where people stop speaking once the time is up (like what is done in city meetings). Gathua also suggested being better prepared and tentative to any rising tension during the events. 1 Commissioner Dillard shared the need for community involvement and for the commission to go to community members and share what they have learned to help the community. Dillard shared strengths from the meeting including the process, mobile-crisis partners, and healing circles. Dillard also suggested providing more healing circles for the community and a vetting process for future truth-tellers. Dillard mentioned the need for the commission to present as a united front centered around the message of racial injustice. Facilitator Dr. Larry Scheeler acknowledged the work the commission has done and shared he agrees with the need for separate time to absorb the stories told at each event. Phase 2: Budget Update, Request for Additional Funds from the City Council,Next Steps& Follow-up: Johnson suggested reaching out to community members through churches to get more involvement at truth-telling events. Dillard revisited the commissioners north star framing question that represents the commission's guiding vision. Dillard suggested taking what the commission has learned, along with the model of the north star framing question and using it to reconnect with the community and gather data/information to use for the recommendation they will present to the council. Simmons asked what the overall message is that the commission is intending to deliver to the council on April 16`h.Dillard answered that the commission will share that there is still work to be done. Simmons followed up by asking if the commission does not receive funding will it stop the work they are currently doing. Dillard answered that if the city wants the commission to do the work that they have asked them to do then the commission will need the money to move forward. Johnson agreed that The City needs to be held accountable for what they set out to achieve with this commission. Johnson also mentioned the possibility of sponsorships for funding. Commissioners discussed the importance of city involvement and what the future of the commission would look like without it. Dillard then brought up the need for increased community support. A solution presented was providing more healing circles to the community which would then lead to people who may be interested in the commission work. Merritt suggested an advertising budget. Dillard emphasized the importance of word of mouth to get community members involved. Johnson suggested a digital billboard advertising. Dillard brought up the upcoming April 161h meeting with council and proposed moving the meeting back to give more time to provide an itemized list of what the proposed increase budget would be used for. Facilitator Annie Tucker brought up the importance of the April 16`t'meeting regarding the facilitation team that reports to council. Scheeler asked for clarification on what the city believes to be the commissions obligations under the contract relative to the presentation planned for April 16`h. Redmond Jones clarified that the contract speaks to a joint effort to put together a closing of the activities and recommendations that the facilitators have brought to the commission. Dillard stated the need for the commission to present on progress on April 16`h and to then schedule an additional meeting where budget and funding is discussed in detail. Schooler clarified that the facilitators' role is to both report on the TRC's progress and to provide a set of recommendations to allow the TRC to continue once their contract with the facilitators ends. Simmons shared that he does not think it is a good idea for the commission to go to the April 16`h meeting without a full presentation including budget. Simmons shared the political nature of the meeting suggests what the commission is bringing to the meeting will benefit the city rather than simply updating them on progress. Simmons suggested to go to the city and ask to move back the date. Simmons agreed to support whatever final decision is made by the commission. 2 The commission had to consider contractual obligations regarding the date of the meeting with council and information presented by Jones resulting in a final decision to present a progress report and highlights of their plans moving forward with a promise of additional budget information in May. Commissioners discussed who would oversee giving the presentation to the council at the April 16'b meeting. It was decided Simmons and Merritt will present to the City Council. Announcements of Commissioners: None. Announcements of Staff: Jones stated there will be a budget report available at a future date. The meeting adjourned at 9:52 PM.
