ITEM 7. AUTHORIZING CONVEYANCE OF A THREE HUNDRED TWENTY THREE FOOT
LONG PORTION OF THE TWENTY FOOT WIDE ALLEY LOCATED BETWEEN
KIRKVVOOD AVENUE AND DIANA STREET IN BLOCK 6, LUCAS ADDITION, TO
ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS.
Comment: Council is considering passage and adoption of an ordinance vacating the
above-referenced alley. Adjacent property owners MVL Properties LLC (Michael and
Vicki Lensing), John O. Roffman and Cortland Berwald have offered to purchase the
alley property for a total of $12,800. The other adjacent property owners have indicated
they do not wish to purchase any of the alley. Staff recommends that the conveyance be
subject to a utility easement and the inclusion of a curb along the east-west graveled
alley to prevent vehicular access from commercial property to Diana Street. This portion
of alley has recently been appraised at approximately $13,500 to $14,500. In light of the
cost to the property owners and the public benefit of the inclusion of a curb along the
east-west graveled alley, which was not considered in the appraisal, Staff supports the
property owners' $12,800 offer as adequate consideration. This Resolution approves of
the disposition and authorizes City Staff to execute and deliver the documents necessary
to make the conveyances. Correspondence included in council packet.

PENDING BEFORE THE FCC RELATING TO MEDIACOM'S PROPOSED RATE
~ c~ INCREASE AND ITS CALCULATIONS RELATING TO ESTABLISHMENT OF A
MAXIMUM PERMITTED RATE FOR BASIC CABLE SERVICE
Comment: This Resolution will confirm and ratify a proposed settlement between
Mediacom Communications Corporation and the City of Iowa City relating to
Mediacom's proposed rate increase and maximum permitted rates for basic cable
services. In filings with the FCC Mediacom proposed a requested rate of $14.00 per
subscriber per month, inclusive of FCC regulatory charges. In its rate filings with the
FCC, Mediacom submitted data in support of its proposed rate increase and for a
maximum permitted rate. The City, in its filing with the FCC, determined that the basic
service tier cable programming services should not exceed $11.83 per subscriber per
month, inclusive of FCC regulatory charges, for bills rendered after August 1, 2003,
and urged that the maximum permitted rate of $11.83 per month per subscriber be
used when calculating the maximum permitted rate in future filings.
The parties have reached an agreement as to a rate increase for basic cable services
and establishment of a maximum permitted rate. The settlement would establish a rate
of $11.75 per subscriber per month, inclusive of FCC regulatory charges for bills
rendered after January 1, 2004 for basic cable service. This rate would be used in
future filings when calculating the maximum permitted rate and in performing the true-
up calculation on its next rate filing. The Iowa City Telecommunications Commission
recommends approval of such proposed settlement. The settlement agreement
documenting the above item is not yet in final form and will be provided to Council
~-~--'~ Lb upon its completion.
