CITY OF IOWA CITY
COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
July 16, 2024
Ordinance amending Title 3, entitled "City Finances, Taxation and Fees," Chapter 4, entitled
"Schedule of Fees, Rates, Charges, Bonds, Fines and Penalties" of the City Code to increase
or change charges and fees.
Prepared By: Nicole Davies, Finance Director
Reviewed By: Geoff Fruin, City Manager
Fiscal Impact: Adjustments to the low income discount will decrease
revenues annually by approximately $6,500 for both the
Water and Wastewater Funds and $4,100 for the
Stormwater Fund. The $17,100 in lost annual revenue will
be reimbursed by the General Fund. Based on historical
trends, this reimbursement number should be expected to
grow over time.

Ordinance
Executive Summary:
Following a public hearing, staff asks that Council consider amending Title 3, Chapter 4 of the
City Code. Title 3, Chapter 4 amendments includes changing the low income discount for
water and wastewater user charges from 60 percent to 75 percent of the minimum monthly
charge and for stormwater utility fee from 60 percent to 75 percent of the monthly charge and
updating Section 5 "Solid Waste Disposal" to match the language in Section 3 'Potable Water
Use and Service" on the 10 percent delinquency charge that was approved in October 2020.
It was inadvertently changed back to 5 percent with the utility rate changes approved May 21,
2024.
Background /Analysis:
Title 3, Chapter 4 of the City Code is the "Schedule of Fees, Rates, Charges, Bonds, Fines
and Penalties"
Low Income Discount
On May 7, 2024 during the City Council Work Session, the City Council directed staff to
increase the low income discount for water and wastewater user charges from 60 percent to
75 percent of the minimum monthly charge and the stormwater utility fee from 60 percent to
75 percent of the monthly charge. This will be a decrease in annual revenue for the Water
and Wastewater Funds of approximately $6,500 and approximately $4,100 for the
Stormwater Fund. This annual decrease will be reimbursed by the General Fund for a total
amount of$17,100.
Delinquency Charge on Past Due Bills
In October 2020, the Iowa City City Council approved increasing the delinquency charge on
past due bills from 5% to 10%. Identical language for this charge is located in Sections 3, 4
& 5. In October of 2020, it was only updated in Section 3. In October of 2023, Sections 4 & 5
were updated. Approved on May 21 , 2024, it was inadvertently changed back to 5% in
Section 5. This will update Section 5 back to 10%.

COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
July 16, 2024
Ordinance amending Title 9, entitled "Motor Vehicles and Traffic," Chapter 11, entitled "Traffic
Cameras, Drones, and License Plate Recognition Systems," Section 2, entitled "Definitions,"
to allow Transportation Services to use automatic license plate recognition systems or devices
for parking purposes, and to clarify the definition of"Automatic Traffic Surveillance System or
Device." (First Consideration)
Prepared By: Eric R. Goers, City Attorney
Reviewed By: Geoff Fruin, City Manager
Fiscal Impact: None
Staff Recommendation: Approval
Commission Recommendations: N/A
Attachments: Ordinance
Executive Summary:
Under the City's present ordinance, passed in 2013 during a time the City was considering
deploying red light and speed cameras, the City is limited in utilizing license plate reader
systems. As technology has advanced, and parking apps have grown in popularity with the
public, the City has migrated to a system that utilizes license plate readers for the parking
ramps and other parking purposes, greatly aiding efficiency. The amendment also clarifies
that cameras installed and maintained by the Streets and Traffic Engineering Division of the
Public Works Department are excluded from the definitions of "Automatic License Plate
Recognition System" and "Automatic traffic surveillance system of device."
Background /Analysis:
The ordinance at issue was passed following a petition initiative which, under the City
Charter, cannot be repealed for two years. Eleven years have passed since adoption of the
ordinance, so amendments are permissible. The prohibition on red light and speed cameras
would remain in effect following passage of this amendment. The amendment also clarifies
the acceptable use of footage from traffic engineering cameras to aid in law enforcement
investigations. Traffic engineering cameras are located at signalized intersections throughout
the community and serve the primary purpose of enduring orderly operation of the roadway
network (e,g, remote troubleshooting of signals, observation of snow and flash flood
conditions, etc.). Periodically, footage from traffic engineering cameras is utilized to assist in
law enforcement investigations and have been critical in solving a variety of serious cases
including assaults and homicides.

Recognition Systems," Section 2, entitled "Definitions," to allow
Transportation Services to use automatic license plate recognition
systems or devices for parking purposes, and to clarify the definition of
"Automatic Traffic Surveillance System or Device."
Whereas, Iowa City Code 9-11-1 limits the City's use of data obtained through an
automatic license plate recognition system or device to data that pertains to a qualified
law violation or other criminal violation for which a ticket, citation, or arrest is issued by a
peace officer or parking enforcement attendant who was present at the scene; and
Whereas, the City's Transportation Services Department has installed a new parking
system that uses automatic license plate recognition systems or devices to function; and
Whereas, City traffic engineers operate cameras at certain intersections to investigate
reports of traffic signal infrastructure damage or malfunction; and
Whereas, Iowa City Code 9-11-2 should be amended to allow Transportation Services
to use automatic license plate recognition systems or devices for parking purposes; and
Whereas, Iowa City Code 9-11-2 should be amended to clarify the definition of
Automatic Traffic Surveillance System or Device to be consistent with parking and traffic
engineering practices; and
Whereas, it is in the best interest of the City to adopt this ordinance.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa:
Section I. Amendment.
1. Title 9, entitled "Motor Vehicles and Traffic," Chapter 11, entitled "Traffic
Cameras, Drones, and License Plate Recognition Systems," Section 2, entitled
"Definitions," is amended by adding the underlined text as follows:
AUTOMATIC LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION SYSTEM: A computer based
system(s)that captures an image of a license plate(s) and converts it to a data file
to be compared with databases or hot lists generated by various law enforcement
agencies, and which produces an alert when there is a match between the
collected license plate data and those databases. Neither Transportation Services

An ordinance repealing Ordinance Nos. 00-3947 and 03-4090 providing for the division of
taxes levied on taxable property in the Sycamore & First Avenue Urban Renewal Area, in the
City of Iowa City, Iowa, pursuant to Section 403.19 of the Code of Iowa (Termination of the
Sycamore & First Avenue Urban Renewal Area). (First Consideration)

Ordinance
Executive Summary:
In 2000, Ord. 00-3947 established the Sycamore & First Avenue TIF District within the
Sycamore & First Avenue Urban Renewal Area (URA), designated as a Commercial &
Industrial Economic Development Area. The TIF District was amended in 2003 to expand the
District boundaries under Ord. 03-4090. Under Iowa law, TIF districts that are designated on
the basis of Commercial/Industrial Economic Development "sunset," or expire, 20 years from
the calendar year after the first certification of debt. Since debt was first certified on the area
in 2001, the Sycamore & First Avenue TIF District expired in 2002. As such, all previously
certified debt for prior urban renewal projects within the Sycamore & First Avenue URA has
been reimbursed through the TIF process and the City is no longer collecting TIF revenues
from within the URA. The City's bond counsel recommends that expired TIF Districts be
terminated formally through Ordinance and, if there is no further need for the URA, that a
resolution be adopted ending the Urban Renewal Area (URA) and Urban Renewal Plan
(URP). A separate resolution will be provided for consideration to terminate the URA and
URP at the same meeting date of the final reading of this Ordinance.
Background /Analysis:
Under Iowa law, Urban Renewal Areas (URA) and Tax Increment Financing Districts (TIF
District) work together as a tool to revitalize slum and blighted areas and spur economic
development. URAs are created by the adoption of an Urban Renewal Plan (URP) by
resolution. TIF Districts must be located within an established URA and are created by
Ordinance. URPs designate the URA on the basis of Blight/Slum Remediation or Economic
Development. Statutory sunset, or expiration, dates are applied based upon the type of
designation. Areas designated for Commercial and Industrial Economic Development sunset
20 years from the calendar year after the first certification of debt.
In 2000, Ord. 00-3947 established the Sycamore & First Avenue TIF District within the
Sycamore & First Avenue Urban Renewal Area (URA), designated as a Commercial &
Industrial Economic Development Area. The TIF District was amended in 2003 to expand the
District boundaries under Ord. 03-4090. During the operation of the TIF District, TIF activity
undertaken in the District included several projects targeting revitalization of Sycamore Mall.
Since debt was first certified on the area in 2001 , the Sycamore & First Avenue TIF District
expired in 2002. As such, all previously certified debt for prior urban renewal projects within
the Sycamore & First Avenue URA has been reimbursed through the TIF process and the
City is no longer collecting TIF revenues from within the URA.
The City's bond counsel recommends that expired TIF Districts be terminated formally
through Ordinance and, if there is no further need for the URA, that a resolution be adopted
ending the Urban Renewal Area (URA) and Urban Renewal Plan (URP). A separate
resolution will be provided for Council consideration to terminate the URA and URP at the
same meeting date of the final reading of this Ordinance. In the future, if the City identifies
another urban renewal project it wishes to assist or undertake in the area of Sycamore &
First Avenue, a new URA, URP, and TIF District may be established.

Urban Renewal Area vs . TIF District
• Urban Renewal Areas & TIF Districts are two separate concepts that
work together
• Urban Renewal Area :
• Designated area where you conduct urban renewal projects
• i.e. infrastructure development, development agreements, blight remediation
• TIF District:
• The taxing district and funding mechanism to support those urban renewal
projects
• When you establish a TIF district, you capture the increment (increased tax
revenue) from new development to help rebate these projects
Establishing ( and Terminating) an Urban
Renewal Area & TIF District
Creating an URA/TIF District:
1. Resolution to adopt Urban Renewal Plan which establishes Urban Renewal
Area, defines type of URA (ie slum & blight vs. economic development), and
describes types of projects to be undertaken
2. Ordinance to adopt TIF District: Must located within URA.
Terminating an URA/TIF District follows same steps in reverse :
• TIF Districts sunset (expire) based on statutory limits — next slide
• URAs do not statutorily expire but are recommended to be terminated when
there is no active need.

COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
July 16, 2024
An ordinance repealing Ordinance Nos. 99-3879 and 05-4150 providing for the division of
taxes levied on taxable property in the Northgate Corporate Park Urban Renewal Area, in the
City of Iowa City, Iowa, pursuant to section 403.19 of the Code Of Iowa (Termination of the
Northgate Corporate Park Urban Renewal Area). (First Consideration)

Ordinance
Executive Summary:
In 1999, Ord. 99-3879 established the Northgate Corporate Park TIF District within the
Northgate Corporate Park Urban Renewal Area (URA), designated as a Commercial &
Industrial Economic Development Area. The TIF District was amended in 2005 to change the
District boundaries under Ord. 05-4150. Under Iowa law, TIF districts that are designated on
the basis of Commercial/Industrial Economic Development "sunset," or expire, 20 years from
the calendar year after the first certification of debt. Since debt was first certified on the area
in 2002, the Northgate Corporate Park TIF District expired in 2023. As such, all previously
certified debt for prior urban renewal projects within the Northgate Corporate Park URA has
been reimbursed through the TIF process and the City is no longer collecting TIF revenues
from within the URA. The City's bond counsel recommends that expired TIF Districts be
terminated formally through Ordinance and, if there is no further need for the URA, that a
resolution be adopted ending the Urban Renewal Area (URA) and Urban Renewal Plan
(URP). A separate resolution will be provided for consideration to terminate the URA and
URP at the same meeting date of the final reading of this Ordinance.
Background /Analysis:
Under Iowa law, Urban Renewal Areas (URA) and Tax Increment Financing Districts (TIF
District) work together as a tool to revitalize slum and blighted areas and spur economic
development. URAs designate an area for urban renewal projects to be conducted and the
TIF District provides the taxation and financing mechanism to help carry out such projects.
URAs are created by the adoption of an Urban Renewal Plan (URP) by resolution. TIF
Districts must be located within an established URA and are created by Ordinance. URPs
designate the URA on the basis of Blight/Slum Remediation or Economic Development.
Statutory sunset, or expiration, dates are applied based upon the type of designation. Areas
designated for Commercial and Industrial Economic Development sunset 20 years from the
calendar year after the first certification of debt.
In 1999, Ord. 99-3879 established the Northgate Corporate Park TIF District within the
Northgate Corporate Park Urban Renewal Area (URA), designated as a Commercial &
Industrial Economic Development Area. The TIF District was amended in 2005 to change the
District boundaries under Ord. 05-4150. Since debt was first certified on the area in 2002, the
Northgate Corporate Park TIF District expired in 2023. As such, all previously certified debt
for prior urban renewal projects within the Northgate Corporate Park URA has been
reimbursed through the TIF process and the City is no longer collecting TIF revenues from
within the URA.
The City's bond counsel recommends that expired TIF Districts be terminated formally
through Ordinance and, if there is no further need for the URA, that a resolution be adopted
ending the Urban Renewal Area (URA) and Urban Renewal Plan (URP). A separate
resolution will be provided for Council consideration to terminate the URA and URP at the
same meeting date of the final reading of this Ordinance. In the future, if the City identifies
another urban renewal project it wishes to assist or undertake in the area, a new URA, URP,
and TIF District may be established.

Executive Summary:
In 1997, Ord. 97-3796 established the Scott Six TIF District within the Scott Six Urban
Renewal Area (URA), designated as an Economic Development Area. Under Iowa law, TIF
districts that are designated on the basis of Economic Development "sunset," or expire, 20
years from the calendar year after the first certification of debt. Since debt was first certified
on the area in 2002, the Scott Six TIF District expired in 2023. As such, all previously certified
debt for prior urban renewal projects within the Scott Six URA has been reimbursed through
the TIF process and the City is no longer collecting TIF revenues from within the URA. The
City's bond counsel recommends that expired TIF Districts be terminated formally through
Ordinance and, if there is no further need for the URA, that a resolution be adopted ending
the Urban Renewal Area (URA) and Urban Renewal Plan (URP). A separate resolution will
be provided for Council consideration to terminate the URA and URP at the same meeting
date of the final reading of this Ordinance.
Background /Analysis:
Under Iowa law, Urban Renewal Areas (URA) and Tax Increment Financing Districts (TIF
District) work together as a tool to revitalize slum and blighted areas and spur economic
development. URAs are the area designated for urban renewal projects while TIF Districts
provide the funding mechanism to assist such projects. URAs are created by the adoption of
an Urban Renewal Plan (URP) by resolution. TIF Districts must be located within an
established URA and are created by Ordinance. URPs designate the URA on the basis of
Blight/Slum Remediation or Economic Development. Statutory sunset, or expiration, dates
are applied based upon the type of designation. Areas designated for Commercial and
Industrial Economic Development sunset 20 years from the calendar year after the first
certification of debt.
In 1997, Ord. 97-3796 established the Scott Six TIF District within the Scott Six Urban
Renewal Area (URA), designated as a Commercial & Industrial Economic. Since debt was
