KARR, CITY CLERK ppdadmJn/n ph-0407 .cioc PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE The City Council will be holding a public hearing on the FY99 Annual Action Plan on April 28, 1998, at 7:00 p.m., Civic Center, Council Chambers, 410 East Washington Street, Iowa City, IA. The City of Iowa City has available a draft FY99 Annual Action Plan and Budget for the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships program (HOME) funds. The draft plan describes the federally funded activities to be undertaken by the City and its subrecipients during the 1999 fiscal year (July 1, 1998 to June 30, 1999). Copies of the draft FY99 Annual Action Plan are available to the public at the Iowa City Public Library, 123 S. Linn Street; and the Department of Planning and Community Development, 410 East Washington Street. A thirty (30) day public comment period began on March 21, 1998. Additional information is available from the Department of Planning and Community Development, 410 East Washington Street, Iowa City, Iowa, 52240 or by calling 356- 5230. TO: Iowa City City Council Civic Center 410 E. Washington St Iowa City, IA 52240 RE: Allocation of CDBG Funds April 25, 1998 Dear City Council Members: The Iowa City Housing and Community Development Commission has recommended that $25,945 in Community Development Block Grant funds be used for two building projects at the Emergency Housing Project. The funds would go toward the replacement of the building's basement stairs and the basement floor coverings, and toward the purchase and installation of a central air conditioning system. Replacing the basement stairs is, obviously, a serious safety concern. Installing central air conditioning would save EHP a great deal on summer utility bills. I am writing to encourage you to follow the Commission's recommendation. I joined the Emergency Housing Project board of directors two years ago, and have been extremely impressed with the resourceful and efficient quality of service this agency offers. EHP is the only general use homeless shelter in Johnson County, and most of its clients are Johnson County residents. The shelter's directors and staff have developed an excellent program which has helped many clients find jobs, acquire needed skills and obtain permanent housing; their program has been suggested as a model for other shelters across the country and in Canada. Helping the Emergency Housing Project better meet the needs of its clients is certainly a benefit for the entire Iowa City community. Sincerely, Holly Hart, EHP Board Member 411 No Dubuque St. Iowa City, IA 52245 337-7341 " Institute for Social and Economic Development .[o..~. a 1901 Broadway, Suite 313 · Iowa City, Iowa 52240 (USA) · (319) 338-2331 · Fax (319) 338-5824 Public Hearing City of Iowa City April 28, 1998 Comments by Jason J. Friedman, Director Institute for Social and Economic Development 1. Administrative costs: administrative costs for this project are in line with what is allowable under CDBG guidelines. Consecutive year funding: ISED has received funding for four years from CDBG. The loss of CDBG funding would eliminate our ability to serve low-to-moderate income Iowa City residents. ISED would continue to serve persons on welfare, as we have a contract with the State Department of Human Services to serve such individuals. As far as receiving continuous funding, I believe that should be balanced with performance. Since 1994, we have helped start or expand 24 businesses, 19 of whom are still in business. We have helped these clients obtain over $200,000 in capital, much of it from local banks. In effect, ISED has been a key component of the City's economic development program. e Efforts to obtain alternative funding: As non-profit, we work very hard to obtain funding to support our program. However, in the last few years, our success in obtaining new funds has been in expanding our program in rural Iowa and larger cities like Des Moines. Our funding gap has been for smaller cities like Iowa City. However, we will place new emphasis on seeking private sector funding. Our programin rural areas requires match funding from the utilities and private institutions. In Iowa City, Hills Bank has pledged $5,000 toward this project. We will move aggressively on this and attempt to develop a consortium of local banks that would contribute financially to the project to lessen the amount of funding requested from the City. Ranking: While ISED did not rank high relative to other projects, there were no other economic development projects funded under CDBG. We believe the city is committed to stimulating economic opportunities for its residents. Uses of the funding: ISED's project is year round. Clients enter our workshop training program or work with us individually to start or expand their businesses. The training does not end at the formal completion of training. Many clients need on-going help after the formal class to finish their business plans, obtain financing and for support in the early start- up phase. Further, our service would be marginal if we did not provide on-going support during the early years of the business when failure rates are quite high. 6. Tangible job creation: The program has created tangible full and part-time jobs. Branch Offices: Cedar Rapids.

Although we have not reached a formal agreement at this time, the bank expressed strong interest in committing $5,000 to the project. The bank views the investment as support for community development and as a way to generate new clients. I would appreciate your consideration to restore funding for our project. We currenfiy have 25 residents enrolled in our classroom training program, many of whom are actively working to start a business. Without these resources we will not be able to help them start their businesses once the class ends (June 30). Further, we would be willing to make funding contingent upon raising private dollars. We are confident that we can forrealize an agreement with Hills Banks and will aggressiyely seek to raise additional funding during 1998-99. Thank you again for your consideration.

This Annual Action Plan includes the FY99 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) budget and descriptions of the activities proposed. Enclosed in the Council packet is a draft of this plan. After the public hearing, the FY99 Annual Action Plan will be finalized and completed for Council action on May 12. This plan is due to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on May 15. The Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) presented the FY99 CDBG and HOME budget to the City Council at the April 6 work session. Copies of the applications for funding, HCDC minutes and rankings have been provided to you in the Project Resource book. If you have any questions about the FY99 Annual Action Plan please call Maurice Head, Steve Nasby, or Steve Long at 356-5230. City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: April 23, 1998 To: City Council From: Maurice I. Head, Community Development Coordinator Re: HCDC Justification for not Funding ISED At the April 6 work session, the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) presented their recommendations to City Council on the FY99 CDBG and HOME budget (Annual Action Plan). Two items were identified by City Council for follow-up. The first item was evaluating Torus Precision Qptics with respect to the City's Economic Development Policies, Strategies and Actions - Financial Assistance Guidelines. The evaluation of Torus will be provided to you under separate memo from David Schoon, Economic Development Coordinator. The second item was the HCDC justification for not funding the Institute for Social and Economic Development (ISED). HCDC pointed out several reasons why this project did not receive a high ranking. Their reasons are as follows: 1. Administrative cost to support the project is high when compared to other CDBG applicants. 2. This is the fifth consecutive year that ISED has requested CDBG funding. 3. ISED has not demonstrated significant effort to secure alternate funding to replace CDBG funds. 4. ISED did not rank high when compared to the other projects requesting funding. ISED's FY99 application was for two business training workshops with individual counseling and follow-up assistance. Follow-up assistance has been a small part of the CDBG funding for ISED in the past. We generally do not fund the follow-up of previously completed projects, or in this case individuals that have completed the business training. From an accountability standpoint, we ask ISED to report the number of individuals that have started businesses after completing their class and the retention rate for those businesses. Follow-up on the part of ISED is a prerequisite for funding. This activity (follow-up assistance) is something that should be provided as part of ISED's small business training program at no additional cost to the City. 6. HCDC felt more comfortable with a tangible job creation activity (Torus) that would provide a certain number of new jobs in the community. There were many excellent projects to select from this year. The allocation process was very competitive, and HCDC believes they have recommended the best projects for City Council to consider for funding. As you know, the Annual Action Plan public hearing is scheduled for April 28, and at this time the applicants and members of the public may comment on the HCDC recommendations. On May 12 the City Council will vote on the FY99 Annual Action Plan. The City is required to submit the FY99 Annual Action Plan to HUD by May 15. If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact the Community Development staff at 356-5230. Im\mem\mh4-22.doc City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: To: From: Re: April 23, 1998 City Manager and City Council Karin Franklin, Director, Planning & Community David Schoon, Economic Development Coordinato~ CDBG Financial Assistance for Torus Precision Optics At Council's request, City staff has reviewed the Torus Precision Optics project in the context of the City's financial assistance guidelines. Attached is a copy of the financial assistance guidelines with statements indicating how the characteristics of the Torus project compare with these guidelines. Based on the comparison, staff concludes that the characteristics of the Torus project, a relatively new company with significant growth potential, are consistent with the City's guidelines and would recommend that Council support Torus Precision Optics with financial assistance. cc: James Mulherin, Torus f:\prospect\torus.mem FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE GUIDELINES TORUS PRECISION OPTICS PRIVATE FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION AS COMPARED TO PUBLIC ASSISTANCE REQUEST A greater percentage of contribution by the assisted business; Torus is requesting CDBG assistance to help with the purchase of machinery and equipment. The City's contribution to the project, in the form of a loan, equals approximately 32% of the machinery and equipment's acquisition cost. The business will be privately financing all other aspects of the project such as leasehold improvements for its new facility. A shorter payback period or expiration for financial assistance; The business would be receiving a 75,000 CDBG loan to be repaid over 7 years at 1% interest. (The applicant had originally requested ~ 105,OO0; however, the Housing and Community Development Commission is recommending 875,000.) A lower amount of financial assistance per job Given the reduction in CDBG funding for the project, the applicant has stated the business feels comfortable committing to create 11 new jobs within three years. The applicant has indicated the number of new jobs actually created could be as great as 19 within three years. Based on the job creation number of 11, the City's financial assistance per job equals approximately $6800/job. (According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, on average a CDBG supported economic development project receives approximately ~ 10,000/job in CDBG funds.) CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM/ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICY · Projects not requiring new public capital improvements; The proposed project requires no new public capital improvements · A greater contribution by the developer for public infrastructure improvements; NA The proposed project requires no new public capital improvements. · Jobs within industry/technology groups on opportunity list; The proposed project falls within the categories of Light Manufacturing. · Start-up companies and expansions of existing local operations; The proposed project is an expansion of an existing local operation that started in 1991. A greater amount of property tax base expansion. The company plans to locate in a new facility by July 1 of this year. The exact location has not been officially determined; though the business is seriously considering locating the project in a facility located near the Highway 21S/Highway 1 interchange. The project is under construction and would house not only Torus but also a new distribution facility. The new building under construction will increase the property tax base. 1 Torus Prec/s/on Opt/cs QUALITY OF JOBS TO BE CREATED Higher wage rates; The applicant indicates an average starting hourly wage for new jobs being created at ~8-10/hour and the average hourly wage for existing jobs at $13.00/hour (Note: these figures do not include shift differentials, bonuses, or overtime wages). The average hourly wages for all industries in Johnson County is ~12.55 and the average hourly wages for manufacturing firms is ~15.53 (Note: these figures do include shift differentials, bonuses, and overtime wages). The applicant has indicated that the average hourly wage for the production employees will increase overtime to $12- 14/hour depending upon experience and training. Full-time, long-term, non-seasonal positions; The applicant has indicated that the positions will be full-time, long-term, non-seasonal positions. Commitment to a safe workplace; The business provides hearing and eye protection devices for employees to use. The company has indicated that it will continue to evaluate employee safety issues and develop appropriate equipment and procedures to address those issues. Contribution to health insurance benefits; Application states that health insurance will be provided. The applicant has stated that the company offers both individual and family health insurance packages. For individuals, the health insurance premium costs $80 per month. Provision of fringe benefits (e.g. vacation, sick leave, retirement plans). The company offers one week of vacation after one year of service. The company offers paid holidays. The company presently has no sick leave policy nor offers a retirement package. The company has indicated as it continues to grow it hopes to implement a new benefit and pension program as well as a profit sharing program. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT Businesses that have a history of contributing to their communities through volunteer work, financial contributions or other means. Torus has provided optics to the University of Iowa Physics Department for its Iowa Robotics Observatory in Arizona. The company is also active in both the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids astronomy club by offering public observations. This summer the company will be providing the Iowa City Area Science Center with telescopes and display materials on how telescopes work as part of the Science Center's display on research at the University of Iowa Physics and Astronomy Department. New start-up businesses that demonstrate their commitment to becoming involved in the community. NA 2 Torus Precision Optics ECONOMIC IMPACT Contribution to diversification of Johnson County economy; The expansion of Tours Precision Optics is the expansion of a manufacturing firm. Approximately, 7% of the Johnson County labor force is employed in the manufacturing sector, while nearly 44% of the labor force is employed in the government sector and 49% in the non-manufacturing sector. The creation of 11 positions at Torus Precision Optics will help to further diversify the Johnson County economy. Potential for future growth of industry; The application states that "Based on current and pending contracts, we expect our sales in the 16" to 24" aperture telescope market to increase threefold during 1998... The proposed loan will provide the capital necessary to meet our expansion goals in a timely manner. This will allow Torus to continue to secure a strong foothold into the professional telescope market, which in turn secures existing jobs and creates new job opportunities." Based on discussions with the company and review of its business plan, it appears there is potential growth for the telescope market, in particular automated/robotics telescope systems. Builds on the resources, materials, and work force of the local community. Application states that Torus will work with the Iowa Workforce Development Department, Job Training Partnership, and PROMISE JOBS to help find and train local people to fill new positions. The founder of the company is a graduate of the University of Iowa. Given that the products Torus produces are highly specialized, the company relies almost exclusively on suppliers outside of the area. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The more environmentally sound the company's operation; The applicant states that all aluminum scrap from their assembly process is recycled. All of the machinery's cutting coolants are biodegradable. Grinding material resulting from the grinding process is inert. No degreasers are used with their machinery. The operation uses less water and sewer service than an average home. · The more environmentally sound the company's products/services. NA. The company's product is not an "environmental" product or service. 3 Torus Precision Optics GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Every applicant should provide average hourly wages for all new and existing jobs which meet or exceed the average county wage rate by industry. Ninety percent of the project positions should have a wage greater than the federal poverty wage rate for Iowa City (30% of the median income for a four person household in Iowa City). Under special circumstances, consideration will be given to those companies who cannot meet this requirement. See "Quality of Jobs to be Created" section. None of the position wages fall below the federal poverty wage rate for Iowa City ($7.73/hr). Applicant must have a consistent pattern of compliance with the law and the spirit of the law, including environmental regulations, occupational safety and health laws, fair labor standards, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, in order to eligible for financial assistance. Applicant has stated that they have not been cited nor convicted of violating the law. Applicant must demonstrate the following in order to be eligible for financial assistance: the feasibility of the business venture. Project appears feasible. the reliability of the job creation and financial estimates. Based on the company's preliminary calculations, the job creation numbers and financial estimates appear reasonable based upon Torus' market assumptions. 0 the credit worthiness of the business. Torus Precision Optics has established a lending relationship with First National Bank Iowa (FNBI) since 1993. In a letter from FNBI, the bank states that it "regards Torus Precision Optics, Inc. as a valued customer with a satisfactory payment history." Project would not occur without financial assistance. The application states: No. "Without CDBG funding, Torus would not be able to move forward with the project. We are currently maxed out as far as accessing commercial financing for the project." A contract will be executed for any financial assistance awarded. Applicant will be required to repay all, or a prorated share, of the amount of the financial assistance awarded if the applicant does not fulfill the obligations of the contract. The CDBG loan agreement will state something to the effect that failure to fulfill the obligations of the contract will result in repayment of the loan at market rate or complete and immediate repayment of the loan at the end of three years. f:\prospect\forms\torus.ans 4 Torus Precision Optics FY99 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN CITY OF I0 WA CITY City Council of Iowa City Ernie Lehman, Mayor Dean Thomberry, Mayor Pro Tem Connie Champion Mike O'Donnell Karen Kubby Dee Norton Dee Vanderhoef May, 1998 TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION I SECTION H Standard Form 424 for CDBG Program Standard Form 424 for HOME Program Resolution Adopting FY99 Annual Action Plan FY99 Funding Sources SECTION III SECTION IV SECTION V SECTION VI FY98 CDBG and HOME Projects - FY99 CDBG~IOME Budget (as proposed) - Description of Projects Geographic Distribution of Resources - Map Showing FY98 Project Locations FY99 Annual Action Plan Narrative Certifications for FY99 CDBG and HOME Programs SECTION I Standard Form 424 for CDBG Program Standard Form 424 for HOME Program Resolution Adopting FY99 Annual Action Plan Application for Federal Assistance 1.

If the grantee does not identify the workplaces at the time of application, or upon award, if there is no application, the grantee must keep the identity of the workplace(s) on file in its office and make the information available for Federal inspection. Failure to identify all known workplaces constitutes a violation of the grantee's drug-free workplace requirements.

Categorical descriptions may be used (e.g., all vehicles of a mass transit authority or State highway department while in operation, State employees in each local unemployment office, performers in concert halls or radio stations).

KARR, CITY CLERK pweng/nph-0428 coc City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: April 24, 1998 To: Steve Atkins, City Manager From' Rick Fosse, City Engineer ~ Re: Flood Plain Map Amendments The public hearing on the Flood Plain Map amendments will be held April 28, 1998. I will be out of town on that date, however Larry Morgan and Sulo Wiitala of Shive-Hattery will be in attendance and available to answer questions. A brief summary of the project is outlined below and a tabulation of how the new maps compare to the existing maps is attached. Project Summary Iowa City's Flood Plain Maps are undergoing a number of revisions to incorporate changes and growth that has occurred since the maps were last updated in 1985. The new maps also provide a greater level of detail for identification of flood prone areas. The flood plain maps indicate areas at risk of flooding along the Iowa River and streams with a drainage area greater than one square mile. The maps are used to determine where flood plain development permits are required for development and to determine eligibility for flood insurance. The maps are also useful as a planning tool and to the public when considering the purchase of a home or property. After the public hearing, comments will be evaluated and incorporated where appropriate. Then the maps will be forwarded to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for review. We hope that the review by FEMA will not be lengthy and that the new maps will be in effect by fall.
