MEMORANDUM
Date:
January 24, 1996
To:
From:
Re:
Stephen Arkins, City Manager
Donald Yucuis, Finance Director~,~-
Request City Council to establish a all§count program for City utility services for
qualifying low income customers.
The City of Iowa City's existing low-income policy provides a discount for 100% of the solid
waste fee for those customers that qualified under the low income criteria. The eligibility
programs will not change. The attached resolution states the City policy for the eligible
programs. These programs are as follows:
· Supplemental Social Security Benefits
· Title XX Program
· Family Investment Program
· Food Stamp Program
· Iowa Disabled and Senior Citizen Property Tax and Rent Disbursement Program
I am recommending that the City change the discount for solid waste curbside and recycling
from a 100% to a 50% discount of the minimum monthly charge. For the water and
wastewater fees, I am recommending a discount of the monthly minimum charge. The
monthly minimum charge for solid waste/recycling is 911 per month; water is $8.54; and
wastewater is 99.78 (based on the March 1, 1996, proposed 30% and 15% user fee
increases). The total discount that would be applied for a customer that is eligible in a
program listed above would be $23.82/month. A summary of the current and proposed
charges is listed below:
Current Discount
Proposed
® Water 90
® Wastewater 0
· Solid Waste -
Curbside 8.75
· Recycling -
Curbside 2.27
100% of minimum = 98.54
100% of Minimum -- 9.78
50% of minimum = 4.38
50% of minimum = 1.12
Total $11.00 923.82
The customer would be responsible for half the solid waste fee and the purchase of any
additional yard waste bags or curbside refuse stickers. The customer would also be billed for
water and wastewater consumption past the minimum of 200 cubic feet per month.
2
I believe this would be easy to administer as the City is currently utilizing these programs to
offer discounts to customers that qualify, Also, it would be easy to change the computer
program to bill these persons properly on a monthly basis.
The average residential monthly bill will be approximately $52.21 per month based on an
average of 700 cubic feet per month. For those customers eligible for this program, this
would provide a discount of 923.82 or reduce the bill to approximately $28.39. A residential
user who uses a minimum of 200 cubic feet or less of water per month and qualifies for one
of the programs would pay only the refuse portion of the billing or 95.50
There are currently 92 customers signed up for the discount. The estimated annual cost or
decrease in revenue based on 92 users for the new proposed discount program is $6,077 for
refuse, 99,428 for water and 910,797 for wastewater.

MEMORANDUM
Date: January 22, 1996
To: Marian Karr, City Clerk
From: Kevin O'Malley, Risk Manager¢~, ~
Re: Liability Insurance Requirements for Taxicabs
In August of 1995 taxicab liability insurance limits for vehicles were raised to
$1,000,000. Since that time the City licensed three busses as taxicabs and prompted
my review of insurance requirements. Initially my recommendation was to increase the
taxicab liability limits for vehicles in excess of 10 passengers to $100,000 per
passenger based on the assumption that the excess layer of insurance over $1,000,000
would be much less expensive than the primary layer as in most markets. I have done
some research into the marketplace and f'md that that assumption is incorrect in the
taxicab insurance market. Although the excess layers are less expensive i.e. the
primary layer cost approximately $2,700 and each million dollars of excess is $400, I
believe the example of insuring a bus with seating for 50 passengers would cost $4,300
and could be economically impractical. Therefore I recommend that the liability
insurance limits for vehicles with 10 passengers or less remain at $1,000,000 and for
vehicles in excess of 10 passengers the limits increase to $2,000,000. These limits are
similar to the Iowa Deparhnent of Transportation intnstate requirements. If there are
any questions about this change and the rationale please contact me.

DATE: January 29, 1996
TO: City Council and City Manager
FROM:Donald J. Yucuis, Finance Director ,~'
Dianna Donahue, Customer Service/'~ana~ger4'~'~"
SUB J: Request to Certify Unpaid Water, Wastewater and/or Solid Waste and Recycling
Charges to Johnson County for Collection in the Same Manner as a Property Tax
The Treasury Division has reviewed delinquent utility accounts that were billed over the period
October 1, 1994 through September 30, 1995 for final collection. These accounts are either
inactive/closed accounts with charges for water, wastewater, solid waste and/or recycling
services OR current active accounts with charges only for solid waste and recycling services.
The following steps describe our collection procedures on these accounts:
COLLECTION OF INACTIVE DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS:
A) when the account holder is owner or manager of property: 1) Bill sent to account holder
2) If unpaid 30 days after original bill a collection letter is sent to account holder.
a) Research utility account files for an active account in the same account
holder name. If such exists, a letter is enclosed with the 30 day collection letter advising any
that delinquent balance would be transferred to the active account, if such is not paid within a
specified pedod.
3) If unpaid and not transferable to another account within 60 days after original
bill, a collection letter is sent to the account holder advising of possible collection through
certification to Johnson County as a lien against the property.
4) The delinquent utility accounts are reviewed annually. After verification with
the City Assessor's records that the account holder is owner of the property, a collection letter
is sent advising of our lien collection procedures and the date and time such would be
presented to you, the City Council, for consideration to collect the delinquent balance due in the
same manner as property taxes.
B) when the account holder is a tenant: 1) Bill sent to account holder
2) If unpaid 30 days after the original bill, a collection letter is sent to the
account holder AND to the ownedmanager as listed on the utility account.
a) Research utility account files for an active account in the same account
holder name. If such exists, a letter is enclosed with the 30 day collection letter advising that
any delinquent balance would be transferred to the active account, if such is not paid within a
specified period.
3) The delinquent utility accounts are reviewed annually. After verification with
the City Assessor's records as to ownership of the property, a collection letter is sent to the
tenant/account holder and owner advising of our lien collection procedures and the date and
time such would be presented to you, the City Council, for consideration to collect the
delinquent balance due in the same manner as property taxes, excluding water and tax
charges.*
*Per Chapter 14-3A-6B.2 "For residential rental properties where the charges for service are
separately metered and paid directly by the tenant and when the utility account is in the current
tenant's name, the rental property is exempt from a lien but only for delinquent water charges."
COLLECTION ON ACTIVE ACCOUNTS CHARGED ONLY SOLIDWASTE AND
RECYCLING SERVICES:
A) A collection letter is sent to the account holder and/or owner of the property at least
30 days pdor to the lien collection letter. (Solid waste services are not discontinued for
nonpayment of a billing. Our collection on these accounts is limited to annual review and
collection as a lien against the property.)
B) See ~ above.
On January 10, letters were sent to account holders and property owners advising of our lien
collection procedures and the date and time these accounts would be presented to you for
consideration, providing them the opportunity to pay the delinquent balance or the opportunity
to be heard concerning the unpaid charges.
Exhibit A identifies each unpaid delinquent account collectible through these lien procedures,
listing the utility account number, service address, property parcel number, owners' name,
tenants' name, mailing address, brief legal description of the property, period of time services
were provided and an itemization of those collectible delinquent charges.
We have itemized the total delinquent balance on the attached SUMMARY OF DELINQUENT
ACCOUNTS between the two main account holder categories of tenants versus owners and by
the type of activity--payments, transfers to other utility accounts, write-offs, liens and special
adjustments. The adjustment of $90.18 was on an account that was incorrectly billed due to
the water meters being reversed in a duplex. Our adjustment procedure relieves 50 per cent of
any back bill charges for City utility services, whereby we adjusted off $90.18 in utility charges.
The following is a brief review of the percentages based on total dollars billed of $13,757,172
during this period compared to the beginning delinquent balance of $24,631.
October 1. 1994 to September 30, 1995

.043 of total dollars billed
Lien $

· 033 % of total dollars billed
The figures in the bottom of the Summary of Delinquent Amounts Due reflect the delinquent
sum for unpaid active accounts receiving only refuse and recycling services. Our final means of
collecting these delinquent accounts is through a lien on the property.
We are requesting your approval to certify the balances due on these unpaid utility accounts in
Exhibit A to the Johnson County Auditor for collection in the same manner as property tax, as
per Chapter 14-3A-6B of the City Code, pursuant to Chapter 384, Code of Iowa (1993).

Sidewalk Closure at Burlington and Dubuque
Engineering and Public Works have investigated the possibility of installing a temporary
walkway along the east edge of Dubuque Street during construction of the new apartment
building by Jim Clark. While we find that it is possible to construct such a temporary walkway,
there are safety and operational factors outlined below that should be considered before
requiring it to be built.
Safety - Moving the pedestrian way out into Dubuque Street will present certain hazards both
from vehicles and from hoisting objects overhead. Also, the south transition to the existing walk
will occur either in a driveway to a parking lot or on a temporary surface such as plywood which
can be slick.
Operational - I expect that Dubuque Street will be a location where much of the building
materials will be delivered to the site. Those items which can't be hoisted over the sidewalk will
be delivered from trucks parked on Burlington Street or in the alley. Obstructing Burlington
Street presents obvious problems and obstructing the alley presents operational problems for
Firestone. Unloading materials along Dubuque Street will cause the least problems in the area.
Also, if the walkway is installed in the street, cars and trucks approaching the intersection will
be moved west and may not activate the traffic signal detectors to get a green light. Access to
the cross walk button will also be difficult.
Since there are alternative routes on the opposite side of the street from the sidewalks that are
closed and cross walks exist at all proceeding intersections, coupled with the problems noted
above, Engineering and Public Works does not recommend requiring a temporary walkway
along Dubuque Street. I will be a the January 29, 1996 informal meeting if Council would like to
discuss this further.

RE: Sidewalk closure
Dubuque and Burlington
Dear Steve:
As you know, I represent Jim Clark, who has requested closure
of the City sidewalks along Burlington and Dubuque Streets where
construction will be taking place in the next few months. The
request was formally filed by Ed and Mary Foraker, however, Jim has
a signed agreement for purchase of the property and we expect to
close in the next few weeks.
I saw the portion of the Council Meeting on February 16 at
which the sidewalk closure was discussed. I understand that
concerns have been expressed to Council members by residents in
Capitol House Apartments, which is immediately south of the
construction site. If I understand the concerns correctly, the
residents do not wish to cross over to the other side of Dubuque
Street to travel north to downtown Iowa City. Jim Clark and I have
discussed this at some length and I have considered the comments
made at the January 16 Council Meeting. For a number of reasons,
we believe that closure of the sidewalks is the safest option and
should be approved by the Council.
Construction materials will, of necessity, be unloaded from
Dubuque Street to the construction site. Some materials will be
unloaded from the alley on the east end of the property. However,
the alley is narrow and is used by the Firestone Store and we do
not wish to interfere with their operations.
If delivery trucks are able to pull up as close as possible to
the building on the Dubuque Street side, this will minimize
disruptions on both Dubuque Street and in the alley. If the walk
is kept open the trucks will have to park further into the
travelled portion of Dubuque Street.
We also anticipate that a drive will be installed off of
Dubuque Street into the west side of the building. Materials will
Steve Atkins

Page 2
also be delivered via this drive and construction workers will be
driving vehicles into the building to park. This would not make it
feasible to cover the walk where this drive enters the property.
This could also become slippery and muddy and present a further
danger to pedestrians.
Also, a crane will be necessary to lift loads of construction
materials into the upper stories of the building. Of necessity
this crane will need to be on the west side of the building where
the Dubuque Street sidewalk is located. The elevation of the east
side of the property is substantially lower than the west side.
Since the lot is 150 feet from east to west, use of the crane will
be necessary on both ends of the building from time to time.
Keeping the sidewalk open poses two problems with the crane.
First, it means that the crane will be farther out in the travelled
portion of Dubuque Street. Also, if there were some accident with
a heavy load of construction materials, the canopy would provide
little or no safety benefit. Such canopies are typically designed
to prevent injury from a dropped hammer or a board, but not to
protect from an entire load of lumber slipping from a crane. We do
not want to create a false sense of security.
Finally, access to the "walk button" on the pole on the
southeast corner of the intersection will be blocked by the
construction fencing. Because of the volume of traffic on
Burlington, it is always necessary to obtain a walk light to safely
cross Burlington Street at Dubuque Street. It would be next to
impossible to make this area safe and still leave access to the
walk button.
We believe that the west side of Dubuque Street offers a much
safer route. The intersection at Dubuque and Court Street is a
four way stop and is comparatively easy for pedestrians to cross.
The walkway on the west side of Dubuque Street is a seven foot
sidewalk which provides ample room and a safer surface for use by
residents of Capitol House Apartments. If residents of Capitol
House are walking to downtown Iowa City, which seems their likely
