d. Setting Public Hearings.
~lO (1) CONSIDER A RESOLUTION SETrING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR
AUGUST 19, 2003. ON AMENDING THE FY2004 OPERATING
BUDGET.
Comment: This resolution sets a public hearing for August 19, 2003, to
amend the FY2004 budget. The FY2004 budget was adopted prior to
March 15, 2003 as required by State law. Subsequent action by the 2003
State Legislature has resulted in state funding reductions of $863,734 to
the City's General Fund. Governor Vilsack signed SF 453 and SF 458 on
May 30, 2003. The legislation eliminated the state-consolidated payment
which included population allocation, moneys and credits and personal
property tax replacement. The FY2004 budget is therefore being
amended to reflect the reduced state funding; and subsequent revenue /
fee increases and expenditure reductions to balance the budget due to the
reduced state funding.
oS~ ~,~ (2) CONSIDER A RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO CONVEY A
SINGLE FAMILY HOME LOCATED AT 1528 CROSBY LANE
TO A PUBLIC HOUSING PROGRAM TENANT AND SETTING A
PUBLIC HEARING FOR AUGUST 19, 2003.
Comment: The Iowa City Housing Authority, under its Tenant-to-
Ownership Program, proposes to sell 1528 Crosby Lane to a public
housing program tenant. The amount of the sale will be the appraised
value of the home, which is $110,000.00. The family has participated in
the public housing program since September of 2000. The family has
received a written commitment for a mortgage from a local bank in the
amount of $93,500.00. The City will provide a second mortgage for the
remaining $16,500.00. This sale will provide the opportunity for a Iow-
income family to obtain ownership of their own home.

PLACE SAID PLANS ON FILE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION.
Comment: This project involves the installation of a traffic signal at the
intersection of Highway 1 (Dodge Street) and Northgate Drive. An
engineering study conducted by JCCOG determined that a need for the
signal at the intersection exists. Funding of the project will be provided
by a USTEP grant (55%) and the remaining (45%) local match will be
paid by the developer, Northgate Corp. Park.

ITEM 8. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN AND
~,~_~ THE CITY CLERK TO ATTEST AND AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF IOWA CITY AND OPN ARCHITECTS INC. FOR
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICES.
Comment: This resolution amends the existing design and engineering contract
between the City of Iowa City and OPN Architects Inc. so that a sixth parking
level can be added to the Court Street Transportation Center. Potential
redevelopment plans in the Near Southside neighborhood and along Burlington
Street in the Central Business District now make the addition of a sixth parking
level to the Court Street Transportation Center desirable. In all other respects,
the Court Street Transportation Center project remains the same. The sixth
parking level will add approximately 100 parking spaces to the facility and will
be bid as an add-alternate that can be constructed initially or several years from
now, depending on the construction bids that are received. The fee for this
amendment will not exceed $150,000 and is reimbursable 80% through the
federal grant.
ITEM 9. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 6, CHAPTER
(NUISANCES) OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF IOWA
CITY BY ADDING STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES TO CONTROL THE
NUMBER OF VEHICLES PARKED, STORED, PLACED, OR KEPT OUTSIDE
ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. (FIRST CONSIDERATION)
Comment: This is an amendment to the existing nuisance regulations that
prohibit outdoor storage of more than six operable vehicles on a single-family or
duplex lot. A recent court ruling that requires the city, in lieu of the property
owner, to prove that the property owner qualifies for the exemptions to have
more than six vehicles makes the current ordinance unenforceable. The
proposed amendment clarifies this issue by specifically stating that it is the
property owner's responsibility to provide proof that the exemptions listed in the
ordinance are applicable.
The proposed amendment states that the property owner must demonstrate
that the vehicles in excess of six must meet the following criteria: a) owned by a
person who is neither domiciled at nor a resident of said residential lot; and b)
present for the sole purpose of providing maintenance, repair, or construction
on said residential lot; and c) parked, stored, placed, or kept outdoors on said
residential lot for less than 36 hours in the aggregate during any continual 96-
hour period of time.

TREASURER FOR COLLECTION IN THE SAME MANNER AS PROPERTY
TAXES.
Comment: The City has the authority under Iowa Code §364.13B to assess the
nuisance abatement costs in the same manner as a property tax. This resolution
allows the City Clerk to certify to the Johnson County Treasurer the abatement
cost to be assessed against the property. This assessment is being pursued only
after the City took many steps to resolve the matter. The City notified the
homeowners to abate the nuisance (for example, to remove snow from the
sidewalk) and after the homeowner did not take action to abate the nuisance, the
City abated the nuisance and billed the owner. After being billed at least twice,
these owners still have not paid the abatement costs. The City has sent a letter
to the homeowner giving them notice that this resolution would be on the agenda,
a copy of which is attached to the resolution. No interest will be charged if the
owner pays within 30 days of passage of the resolution. Attached as an exhibit to
the resolution is a list of the properties that will be assessed and the amount that
will be assessed.

RE: Addition/Revisions July 15 agenda
CONSENT CALENDAR NEW ITEM #3e(15):
CONSIDER A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE WATER-WORKS PARK
PRAIRIE PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN A GRANT
APPLICATION TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE IOWA DEPARTMENT OF
NATURAL RESOURCES.
Comment: Since funding for this project was eliminated from the capital
improvement budget, the Parks and Recreation Commission, staff and other
park advocates have been exploring other funding possibilities in order to
proceed with planting prairie grasses throughout the majority of this park. The
State of Iowa has re-instituted its Resource Enhancement and Protection
program, and this project qualifies for up to $200,000 with no matching funds
required. This is the best grant opportunity available at this time, and if received
will provide sufficient funds to complete the prairie planting aspect of the park
development.
