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

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.

Dear Council Members, City of Iowa City:
I wanted to bring to your attention the interest of Hills Bank in helping to subsidize the cost of
the ISED Microenterprise Program for low-to-moderate income residents in Iowa City. 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. If you have any further questions, I am available at 338-
2331.
Sincerely,
on J. Friedman

Community Development Division
RE:
FY99 Annual Action Plan
On April 28 the City Council will be holding a public hearing on the FY99 Annual
Action Plan. 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.

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.

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.

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.

APPENDIX TO CERTIFICATIONS
INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING LOBBYING AND DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE REQUIREMENTS:
A. Lobbying Certification
This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this
transaction was made or entered into. Submission of this certification is a prerequisite for
making or entering into this transaction imposed by section 1352, title 31, U.S. Code. Any
person who fails to file the required certification shall be subject to a civil penalty of not
less than $10,000 and not more than $100,000 for each such failure.
B. Drug-Free Workplace Certification
By signing and/or submitting this application or grant agreement, the
grantee is providing the certification.
The certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance is placed
when the agency awards the grant. If it is later determined that the grantee
knowingly rendered a false certification, or otherwise violates the requirements of
the Drug-Free Workplace Act, HUD, in addition to any other remedies available to
the Federal Government, may take action authorized under the Drug-Free
Workplace Act.
Workplaces under grants, for grantees other than individuals, need not be
identified on the certification. If known, they may be identified in the grant
application. 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.
Workplace identifications must include the actual address of buildings (or
parts of buildings) or other sites where work under the grant takes place.
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).
If the workplace identified to the agency changes during the performance of
the grant, the grantee shall inform the agency of the change(s), if it
previously identified the workplaces in question (see paragraph three).
The grantee may insert in the space provided below the Site(s) for the
performance of work done in connection with the specific grant:
Place of Performance (Street address, city, county, state, zip code)
Check if there are workplaces on file that are not identified here.
The certification with regard to the drug-free workplace is required by 24 CFR part 24, subpart F.
Definitions of terms in the Nonprocurement Suspension and Debarment
common rule and Drug-Free Workplace common rule apply to this
certification. Grantees' attention is called, in particular, to the following
definitions from these rules:
"Controlled substance" means a controlled substance in Schedules I through V of the
Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 812) and as further defined by
regulation (21 CFR 1308.11 through 1308.15);
"Conviction" means a finding of guilt (including a plea of nolo contendere) or imposition of
sentence, or both, by any judicial body charged with the responsibility to
determine violations of the Federal or State criminal drug statutes;
"Criminal drug statute" means a Federal or non-Federal criminal statute involving the
manufacture, distribution, dispensing, use, or possession of any controlled
substance;
"Employee" means the employee of a grantee directly engaged in the performance of work
under a grant, including: (i) All "direct charge" employees; (ii) all "indirect
charge" employees unless their impact or involvement is insignificant to the
performance of the grant; and (iii) temporary personnel and consultants who
are directly engaged in the performance of work under the grant and who
are on the grantee's payroll. This definition does not include workers not on
the payroll of the grantee (e.g., volunteers, even if used to meet a matching
requirement; consultants or independent contractors not on the grantee's
payroll; or employees of subrecipients or subcontractors in covered
workplaces).

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.

Please defer approval of the Preliminary FEMA 1998 update pending resolution of the
definition of the 100-year flood crest boundary. Some undamaged homes occupied
during the entire 1993 flood are shown below this 100-year flood line. These homes are
located on Normandy Drive, Sections 108 & 109.
One example of this seeming contradiction is 805 Normandy Drive owned by Joye Ashton
McKusick. This home had flood insurance but no claim was made because there was no
damage. It was occupied during the entire 1993 flood. This home is shown on the map.
