ITEM 6. THE IOWA CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY AMENDED PUBLIC HOUSING
ADMISSIONS AND CONTINUED OCCUPANCY PLAN (ACOP).
Comment: HUD mandated Community Service Requirement. The community
service and self-sufficiency requirement is intended to assist adult public
housing residents in improving their own economic and social well-being and
give these residents a greater stake in their communities. The community
service and self-sufficiency requirement allows residents an opportunity to "give
something back" to their communities and facilitates upward mobility. The
community service and self-sufficiency requirement applies to all adult residents
in public housing except for those exempted under Section 12(c) of the United
States Housing Act of 1937, as amended. Specifically, every adult resident of
public housing must contribute eight hours of community service each month,
or participate in an economic self-sufficiency program for eight hours each
month. This requirement does not apply to Section 8 tenants.
Interim Reexamination Policies. As a result of HUD recommendations following
a Rental Integrity Monitoring review, the ICHA is opting to recalculate rent
based on an increase in earned income only during the annual reexamination,
unless earned income causes the total family income to exceed 80% of the
Family Median Income. HUD requires that only decreases in income are
processed at interim reexaminations, the ICHA was processing both increases
and decreases. The ICHA is changing this policy to promote economic self-
sufficiency by encouraging participants to maintain employment, to seek
opportunities for better employment, and to change the behavioral patterns that
lead to ongoing poverty. Secondly, this policy change will increase
administrative efficiency and effectiveness by reducing redundant processing of
information and verifications. Correspondence included in Council packet.

COMPOSITION OF A SENIOR CENTER COMMISSION FOR THE' CITY OF
IOWA CITY, IOWA, AND ESTABLISHING THE MEMBERSHIP, TERMS,
DUTIES, POWERS AND AUTHORITY OF SAID COMMISSION.
Comment: Resolution No. 94-309 established a Senior Center Commission
("Commission"), and it was based upon a 25E Agreement between the City and
the County for the funding and operation of the Senior Center. Because the
28E Agreement has been dissolved, Resolution No. 94-309 needs to be
rescinded and a new resolution adopted. The major change is the composition
of the Commission. Under Resolution No. 94-309, the City Council appointed
six members of the Commission and the Board of Supervisors appointed three.
The proposed resolution changes the composition of the Commission by
decreasing its size from nine to seven members. Council will continue to
appoint six, but there is a new provision for an at-large member to be selected
by the six Council appointees. The at-large member must be a qualified elector
of Johnson County but not necessarily an elector of the City. The Board of
Supervisors will not appoint any member. The six current Council appointees
will continue to serve out their terms. At its meeting on August 8, the
Commission unanimously approved a motion recommending that Council adopt
this resolution.

which decreased the size of the Commission to seven (7), eliminated
appointment of three (3) members by the Board of Supervisors, and provided
for an at-large Commission member to be selected from the six (6) Council
appointees. A more detailed memorandum from staff was in the Council packet
