Re: Virginia Drive - Request to Improve
Dear Mr. Glasgow:
Our records show that the Virginia Drive right-of-way between the Conway Subdivision and the
Whiting Additions was deeded by the Whiting family to the City in parts under at least two deeds
in 1953 and 1960. The deeds do not refer to the paving of any street. The Whiting Addition; Part
5 was subdivided October 13, 1959 and did not include Virginia Drive on the plat. All reference to
the im.provement of streets is to Oaklawn Avenue.
The City has no interest in paving Virginia Drive to provide access to your property, particularly
since your property seems to primarily consist of a wooded ravine. From the documents we have,
I find no obligation for the City to pave the street either. The lots in the Whiting Addition are
developed and do not require access to Virginia Drive. Since Virginia Drive was not in the Whiting
Addition subdivision, assessment of these property owners is questionable.
If you do wish to develop your 3.89 acres, the right-of-way appears to be available for you to
construct the street to your property (I find nothing that dedicates this property as public right-of-way
however). Construction of the street would be at your cost to local street standards. If you were
to subdivide the 3.89 acres, a subdivision would be required for three lots or more. For fewer lots,
an administrative lot split can be approved through the Department of Housing and Inspection
Services.
If you have some documentation that contradicts what I have told you in this letter pertinent to the
City's obligations to pave this street, please let me know. I do have a telephone (356-5232) and
if you feel you have been forgotten or have not received a timely response you can always call me.
We have a lot of issues we have to deal with and occasionally an item does get buried; a reminder
phone call could benefit both of us.
Please let me know if you need anything more on this item.
Have a happy holiday.

Dear Mr. Atkins:
.I am the owner of a 3.89 acre tract of land south of
the city street called "Virginia Drive".
This street is the only access to this property.
Since this street was a part of the Whiting Subdivision it
carries an agreement between the City of Iowa City and the
developer to improve the street. This was not done.
I now approach the City of Iowa City to call upon them to
open up this street and make the improvements and assess
impr~ments to the Whiting Subdivision property owners.
these
As an intermediate solution to vehicular access, I ask the city
to clear the trees and get Virginia Drive to a condition
suitable for vehicular access.
A drawing of the acreage and Virginia Drive is attached.
Sincerely ..........

December 15, 1994
Dear ICAD Investor:
G R O U P
I would like to wish you a Happy Holiday Season and provide you with an update on
ICAD as we approach our midyear point.
We have had an exceptional increase in the number of companies interested in relocating
to the greater Iowa City area. Over the last 12 months, the number of prospect requests
we have received has doubled. Their requests range from 200 square feet of individual
office space to 200,000 square feet of warehouse space. This year we have also seen a
higher number of retail requests. The number of site visits by companies interested in
relocation has also doubled, and we expect this trend to continue. All of this activity has
resulted in the creation of over 525 new jobs in the area over the past 12 months.
ICAD continues to be actively involved with the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids .Corridor
Committee, and are continuing our regional marketing efforts which include, in addition to
normal activities, the Midwest U.S. - Japan Association Conference in September of 1995.
Also, discussions are underway to develop a regional marketing strategy targeted towards
the pharmaceutical industry.
To help keep the staff and the Board of Directors up-to-date with the needs of the
community and our investors, a series of interviews have been completed this past year.
For your information, enclosed is a summary of the results from those interviews. If you
have additional input on ways that ICAD can promote economic growth and meet the
needs of the region, please contact ~ or myself at (319) 354-3939.
It is an exciting period of time to be an investor in ICAD and to be involved in the growth
we are experiencing. Thank you for being an investor.

Re: FY96-98 Financial Plan
Mayor and City Council Members:
As the Council is aware, for the past two fiscal years, the City has been the subject of a
state-imposed property tax freeze. With the preparation of these budget proposals, the freeze
legislation is no longer in effect. However, the state government is now proposing a new and
permanent reduction in available local revenue, that being the elimination of property tax on
machinery and equipment. All signs point to the approval of this legislation and, therefore,
we have made the assumption that the current state proposal of elimination of machinery and
equipment property taxation will occur and the city's available property tax revenue will be
reduced accordingly. Currently, machinery and equipment amounts to approximately 4% of
our available property revenue, or $700,000 per year. We understand the state may consider
a reimbursement on a declining schedule over a ten-year period. This factor has been
incorporated; however, after the ten year phaseout, no further state aid is expected. With the
loss of the machinery and equipment revenue, continued expansion of State rollback on
residential values, and no increase in other state aid, the General Fund budget has little margin
for growth to accommodate the effects of inflation, let alone expansion of public services.
These circumstances have lead me to propose a budget plan that is substantially the same
level of municipal services we have provided in past years. I believe we can continue current
service levels as long as there are no major operational changes. However, we cannot
significantly expand any general fund financed services. There are a number of issues pending
which will have a bearing on this policy and, specifically, departments have requested
approximately $1.1 million in new positions; however, they are for all practical purposes
beyond our ability to finance over the long-term. Other circumstances on the horizon may
also require additional staffing, such as the Library Board's pursuit of and expansion at the
library, a proposed new art/cultural center, the addition of transit routes, the expansion of
park land and open space, etc. Other General Fund issues such as the Airport expansion and
our need to refinance our housing authority are also expected to challenge our General Fund
finances. Our revenues and expenditures have been reviewed in detail and I believe that the
current program of services is about the level of public service which can be expected for our
community.
We are now able and should continue to be able to effectively and responsibly bargain with
our employees and fulfill the effects of inflation on our operational expenses. We cannot
anticipate any large cash outlay beyond our current commitments from the general fund.
General Fund capital expenses will be reviewed and debt financing may be more appropriate.
Our pension funds, health insurance, liability insurance and other related reserves are in good
condition and allow us to meet our needs for the foreseeable future.
-1-
The enterprise funds within the operating budgets are substantially unchanged. Notably, the
water and wastewater budget have included current rate adjustments; however, final
decisions on future rates, timing, and project cost estimates for two major capital projects are
pending. These projects directly influence the budget due to changes in operational
requirements as well as debt service.
The transit budget continues to grow at a rate of expenditures disproportionate to other City
services and the subsidy has increased accordingly. The FY96 shows an increase of
$165,004 over FY95 property tax subsidies for the operation of the transit budget. There is
cause for concern within the transit budget in that the Clinton administration has proposed
an elimination of the federal aid used to support the operational expenses. In that the
operations of the transit are substantially general fund expenditures, such increases merely
exacerbate our financial dilemma within that fund.
The refuse and landfill operations are also substantially unchanged for the purpose of this
budget plan, however, it is with the understanding that a number of policy issues are pending.
These policy issues ultimately translate into operational expenditures and with proposed
expansion of recycling, toxic clean-up, and any related DNR amendments to our landfill permit,
these budgets will need to be amended later.
The airport fund and related operational expenses will be affected by the master plan study
under way. It is likely that significant capital expenses will await your decisions in the future
as we respond to the master planning process and ultimately the overall renovation of the
airport.
The budget as proposed has the positive benefit of indicating that we are capable of living
within the financial restrictions of the state; however, we are not in a position to embark upon
any dramatic changes in service levels for our community. As I am sure you are aware, you
will receive pressures from various constituent interest groups to increase certain services.
With the state restrictions and other potential changes in the federal financial assistance, such
as reduction in support for our transit system, we simply cannot pursue major new spending
commitments.
We have other demands awaiting our financial resources, such as the federal stormwater
regulations which are likely to occur on the heels of the water and wastewater projects which
are now planned. Water and wastewater can be financed from the revenues generated by the
systems; however, a special utility charge from the general fund appears to be the only option
available to us to meet these new stormwater regulations.
For a comparison for local property owners, the following summarizes the financial impact of
the FY96 budget proposals. A homeowner with an assessed value of $100,000 in FY95 paid
a City property tax of $881 on a taxable value of $68,040 (rollback factor of .680404). In
FY96 the assessed value of a ~ 100,000 home will have a taxable value of 967,507 (rollback
factor of .675074) and a City property tax of $879. Business and industry property are taxed
at 100% of assessment (no rollback).
The tax rate for FY95 was 12.953 for City purposes and is proposed to be 13.021 for FY96.
The increases in assessed value vary and thereby direct comparisons from year to year are
not available for the purpose of determining average increases. City property taxes amount
to approximately 40% of the total property tax bill.
-2-
This budget plan is not one of significant new issues, challenges or opportunities addressed,
but merely one of maintaining our current position. Every effort should be put forth by the
City organization and through your policies to maintain the financial strengths we now enjoy.
Therefore, we must exercise caution if service expansion is to be considered.

Insurance will not be purchased to cover loss exposures below prevailing deductible/
retention amounts of current insurance held by the City of Iowa City, unless such
insurance is required by statute or by contact, or in those instances in which it is
desirable to obtain special services, such as inspection or claim adjustment services in
connection with insurance. The deductible/retention amounts will be reviewed once
annually by the Director of Finance and the Risk Manager to ensure appropriateness of
the amounts.
-13-
Insurance will be purchased where possible against all major exposures which might
result in loss in excess of the City's insurance reserve through the purchase of the
following types of insurance.
- All risk insurance on real and personal property.
- General liability insurance.
- Automobile liability insurance.
- Fidelity and crime insurance.
- Catastrophic workmen's compensation insurance.
The City will self-insure in those instances where the cost of insurance is so high that
it would be more cost effective to assume the risk.
Property will be insured on replacement cost basis, as determined by a competent
appraisal service, against as wide a range of perils as possible. The value will be
reviewed once annually by the Risk Manager and the City's insurance advisor.
Loss prevention recommendations made by insurance companies, the state fire marshal
or local fire authorities will, whenever possible, be implemented. In those cases in
which such recommendations are not followed, a written report in which an explanation
or justification is made will be filed with the Director of Finance and the City Manager
within 30 days of receipt of the report.
Insurance will be purchased only through licensed agents or agencies who have the staff
and technical competence to adequately service the insurance provided.

Insurance will be placed only in insurance companies rated A+ or A in Bests. Insurance
places in other companies will require a written report of the particulars, such report to
be filed with the Risk Manager.
The administration of the risk management policy will be a responsibility of the Risk
Manager. Such responsibility includes placement of insurance coverage, maintenance

FINANCIAL PLAN OVERVIEW
The Three-Year Financial Plan (the Plan) is again being used for Fiscal Year (FY) 96 through
FY98. This is a one year annual budget that meets state budget requirements and also
provides an additional two years of projections as a planning tool for City government. The
"Financial Plan Overview" discusses the basis that the financial plan has been built upon. The
Financial Plan includes only the operating budgets. The operating budget plan includes
"General Governmental Operations" and "Enterprise Operating and Reserve Funds." A
separate seven-year Capital Improvements Program budget has been prepared, but is not part
of this document.
The role of a government's operating budget differs from that of a private business. Budgets
are an important internal planning tool for business. However, in government, budgets also
play an external role. A multi-year financial plan informs parties both inside and outside
government of its future objectives in providing services to its constituents.
The three year plan permits particular emphasis to be placed on property tax levies, user fee
projections, fund balances, the scheduling of capital purchases (both equipment and major
improvement projects) and debt service/bond financing costs. Rather than approaching the
budget as an annual agony, the three year planning process provides a means to meet most
funding needs at some time within the three year period. The Three Year Plan is a reliable
planning document and a management tool.
The modified cash basis of accounting has been used for preparation of the Plan because the
City maintains its daily accounting records on this basis. Therefore, revenues are recorded
when received, not necessarily when they are earned, and expenditures are recorded when
paid instead of when they are incurred. However, a departure from strict cash basis is the
fact that the City does not record reimbursements for damages as revenue but nets them
against the cost of repairing damages. The Financial Plan summarizes the budget by major
category within each division but actual receipts and expenditures are monitored carefully on
a line-item basis by the Finance Administration Division and the department head in charge
of eaoh division and compared to the budget throughout the fiscal year. Each department
head is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the divisions under their control stay within
budget.

FINANCIAL PLAN ANALYSIS
GOVERNMENTAL OPERATIONS
General Governmental Operations consist of the General Fund, the Debt Service Fund, the Trust and
Agency Funds, Internal Service Funds and the Special Revenue Funds.
A. PROPERTY TAX
Property tax is the single largest revenue source for the City General Fund, accounting for over
65% of FY96 General Fund revenues. The property tax freeze imposed by the state ends in
FY95. The City's property tax requests for FY96 through FY98, including the FY95 certified
tax requests, are proposed to be levied as follows:

TOTAL LEVIED 19,90~ 7,! 69 21 ,.720,672
The property tax levy requested for FY95 is calculated based on the state imposed property
tax freeze legislation. FY96 through FY98 reflect levies based on no freeze. The City could
levy for Tort Liability but chose not to and pays for this out of the General 8.10 levy. Since
the City didn't levy this tax in FY93, the property tax freeze restricts the City from requesting
this tax in FY94 and FY95.
Following is a schedule highlighting the changes from FY92 through FY95 in assessed value,
state rollback, exemptions and taxable assessed value. Taxable assessed value is calculated
by applying the state rollback factor to residential value and by subtracting military and TIF
exemptions.

100% assessed value is estimated to increase 3.92% from FY95 to FY96; however, after
applying the state rollback factor and exemptions, taxable assessed value is estimated to
increase 3.78%.
The State does control local growth in taxable assessed value through the rollback( factor on
residential property. After only a .5% decrease in the rollback factor from FY93 to FY94, the
state again, in FY95, decreased the rollback to .680404 or 6.41% lower than the FY94 rate
of .726985. The FY96 rollback is estimated to be .8% lower than FY95. The rollback factor
-19-
along with the maximum state imposed tax rates in the General (8.10), Ubrary (.27) and
Transit (.95) levies allows the state to conical taxable growth locally.
The General property tax levy totaling $11,925,033 is used in the General Fund to pay for the
support of many services, such as police, fire, library, park and recreation services. The levy
cannot exceed 88.10 per 91000 of taxable assessed valuation per State law.
The Library tax levy of $.27, which was voted in by a majority of the residents in 1991, will
generate approximately 9397,501 in FY96. The initial levy was used to expand Library
services and this levy contin(Jes to maintain that level of service.
The FY96 transit levy totaling 81,398,615 is 4.14% more than the FY95 amount. The FY96
levy is 91,398,615 and is 4.14% higher than FY95. FY97 and FY98 are estimated at 3% and
4.48% higher than the previous year, respectively. The transit levy is a "general" levy for
transit use and must be receipted into the general fund and then transferred to transit.
The Employee Benefits property tax levy is used for General Fund emolover costs of social
security (FICA - 7.65%), the Iowa Public Employees Retirement System costs {IPERS - 5.75%),
the Police and Fire Pension contributions (17.66%), health insurance, life insurance, disability
insurance, worker's compensation insurance premiums and unemployment compensation. In
FY94, FY95, FY96 and FY97 the City has or will lew the Employee Benefits tax at
82,762,942, 92,921,831, 93,362,528 and 83,650,470, respectively. The Employee Benefits
Fund reflects the use of local Employee Benefits Retirement Fund Reserve monies to fund part
of the employer share of the Police/Fire pension contribution, approximately 9502,000 was
used in FY95 and in FY96, FY97 and FY98, 9595,000, 9682,000 and ~696,000, respectively.
The Debt Service (DS) levy provides funds for the payment of the principal and interest on
general obligation bonds of the City. It can also be utilized to fund the payment of any
judgments against the City, unless other funding sources are provided. The FY96 levy
increases to 92,553,886 from 82,376,857 in FY95. The levy is projected to increase to
92,619,322 in FY97 and 93,003,504 in FY98. New debt issues to pay for the cost of repairs
and renovation to streets, bridges, recreation buildings, etc. in FY95, FY96, FY97 and FY98
are 88.5 million (DS-91.4 million), 94.4 million (DS-91.9 million), 86.5 million (DS-86.3 million)
and 94.4 million (DS-93.0 million}, respectively.
GENERAL FUND REVENUES
Overall, General Fund revenues in FY1996, 1997 and 1998 increase approximately
81,000,000 each year. FY96 revenues are approximately 926.1 million or 4,3% greater than
FY95. General Fund revenues are summarized into nine major categories. The analysis of each
category follows:
Prol~ertv Taxes - This includes the General (8.10), Transit (.95) and Library (.27)
levies. The property taxes as proposed are at the maximum allowable rates. FY96
property tax revenues totalled 813,727,149 or 3.3% greater than FY95. FY97 is
projected to increase by 3% and FY98 by 4.5%.
4
Transfer: Emplovee Benefits Levy -- this property tax revenue source is receipted in
the Employee Benefits Fund and then transferred to the General Fund to pay for
benefits of employees (employer share of FICA, IPERS and Police and Fire Pension
contributions; health premiums, etc.). FY96 transfers totalling 93,326,447 are
approximately 2% greater than FY9B.
- 20 -
=
Road Use Tax -- This is a gas tax that is received by the State of Iowa paid to the City
on a per capita basis, receipted into the City Road Use Tax Fund and then transferred
to the General Fund to pay the actual costs of the Traffic Engineer and Street Division
less other revenues received by these divisions. Starting in FY96 an additional transfer
to the General Fund to fund a new forestry position will occur. This new position is
directly related to the maintenance of City street right-of-way.
State Fundin~ -- The revenue sources that come from the State of Iowa consist of
state aid, personal property replacement tax and bank franchise tax, Except for the
bank franchise tax, the State remits these revenues to the City in two equal
installments, one in December and the other in March.
All three of the revenue sources are budgeted at approximately the same amount as
actually received in FY94 and reflec~ no increases in future years.
Chargeback of Services - This revenue source consists of administrative charges to
the Enterprise Funds (Ex.: Water, Parking, Wastewater, etc.) for services provided in
the Finance and Public Works Administrative Divisions, use of the Document Services
Division, use of Central Services, Cable TV transfer to the Library and in FY95 a new
chargeback was added for the City Attorney Division.
Fines, Permits and Fees -- This category includes quite a variety of different revenue
sources. The largest are Recreation fees, building permits and inspections, parking and
library fines and magistrate court fines. Overall this revenue category is budgeted at
approximately the same amount as FY94 and reflects very small increases in future
years.
Contractual Services - Included in this revenue line item is the contract for Fire
Department services provided to the University of Iowa.
Johnson Counw contracts with the City for the use of the Library and Senior Center
for residents who live outside the City limits of Iowa City but within Johnson County,
Hotel/Motel Tax - This revenue is from the 7% hotel/motel tax that is assessed to
those establishments within the city limits of Iowa City. Actual receipts are allocated
as follows:
Police Patrol (50%), Convention Bureau (25%), Mercer Park Aquatics (15%) and
Parkland Fund (10%). The 10% amount that goes to Parkland Fund is further broken
down into Acquisition (7%) and Development (3%).
All Other Income -- The largest two revenue sources in all other income are interest
income and transfer of parking fines to the General Fund.

1. Personal Services
Personal services includes salaries and benefits (health, life, disability insurance and
employer share of FICA, IPERS, and Police/Fire retirement contributions. The FY95
budget includes scheduled step increases and an estimated bargained adjustment.
Personnel costs are primarily controlled by collective bargaining agreements.
Employees of the City are represented by three unions: AFSCME (Local //183), the
Police Labor Relations Organization of Iowa City, and the Iowa City Association of
Professional Fire Fighters, IAFF, AFL-CIO (Local #610). All supervisory, confidential,
temporary and other employees who are excluded by law in Chapter 20 of the Code
of Iowa are excluded from the units and from the terms, conditions or application of
the Agreement.
The majority of City employees are represented by AFSCME. This Union is comprised
of two bargaining units, one composed exclusively of Library employees and the other
composed of employees in all other departments. AFSCME ratified a two-year contract
on July 1, 1994, and includes a 3.00% adjustment to wages in FY96 plus any
scheduled step increases.
Sworn police officers are represented by the Police Labor Relations Organizations of
Iowa City. The bargaining unit is composed of all Iowa City police officers. Exempt
from the unit are the police chief, lieutenants, captains, sergeants, and other
confidential, administrative, supervisory and less than half-time employees. The police
-23-
officers union agreed to a three-year contract that spans July 1, 1994, through June
30, 1997. This agreement included a 3.0% adjustment to wages in July 1994, 3.25%
in January 1995, 2% in July 1996, 2% on December 28, 1996, plus any scheduled
step increases in each fiscal year.
The firefighters are represented by the Iowa City Association of Professional Fire
Fighters, IAFF, AFL-CIO {Local #610). The bargaining unit is composed of firefighters,
lieutenants, and captains. Exempt from th.e unit are the fire chief, fire marshal and
battalion chiefs. The firefighters negotiated a one-year contract, July 1, 1994, and
includes a 3% adjustment to wages plus any scheduled step increases.
Employees who are administrative, supervisory or otherwise ineligible for collective
bargaining are covered by the Personnel Rules and Regulations. Some are eligible for
Civil Service. Salaries and benefits are determined by the City Council upon the
recommendation of the City Manager. Approximately 100 administrative and
confidential employees received a 3% adjustment July 1, 1994, plus any soheduled
step increases.
Commodities
Commodities mainly consist of office and cleaning supplies, and maintenance and
repair materials for buildings, streets and equipment. Supplies and materials are
projected to decrease by 2.6% in FY96 and then increase by 3.1% in FY97 and FY98.
Services and Charges
Services and Charges cover expenses for liability insurance premiums, Aid to Agencies
payments, printing and postage, various service contracts, repairs and maintenance to
vehicles, equipment and buildings, chargeback for vehicle use and replacement, and
utility costs. FY96 is estimated to increase 9570,000 or 15% more than FY95. The
main reasons are reinstatement of the general fund loss reserve payment {t~200,000)
which was not planned in FY95 due to the property tax freeze; electricity, sewer and
water proposed rate increases (975,000); vehicle repairs (930,000); professional
services ($51,000); postal, telephone, and radio communications maintenance
(975,000) are some of the changes from FY95 to FY96.
The Aid to Agencies budget is partially funded from Community Development Block
Grant monies and the remainder funded from property tax revenues in the General
Fund. The City Council appropriates money annually to each agency. The FY96
budget is proposed to be 9358,650 ($105,000 CDBG, 9253,650 General Funds). The
financial plan provides for a 3% increase in FY97 and FY98. Below is a detailed listing
of the agencies funded from FY92 to FY95. Human services received FY96 requests
for funding totaling $433,734.

5. Contingency
The expenditure line item contingency is set at approximately 1% of all budgeted expenditures.
The FY95 original budget was $248,890 the balance at 11-30-94 is $133,155 as budget
amendments have been processed using contingency. FY96, FY97 and FY98 contingencies '
are set at 9256,357, $264,048 and 9271,969, respectively.
D. GENERAL FUND YEAR-END BALANCE
The City separates the General Fund cash balance into a Pure Fund Balance and a Reserve Fund
Balance. The Pure Fund Balance is that portion of the balance maintained as working capital which
is not available for allocation except in emergency situations. The Reserve Fund Balance is
allocated for Parkland Acquisition/Development, Library Reserves for computer equipment
replacement, AV and Public Access equipment replacement, State reciprocal borrowing revenues
and Fire Apparatus replacement.
The annual year-end fund balance minus the reserve balances gives the Pure Fund Balance or the
General Fund's working capital position. The following chart gives the Pure Fund Balance for fiscal
years 1994 through 1998.

The Pure Fund Balance is 28% of expenditures in FY94, and drops to 10% by FY98. Any
unexpected deterioration of the City's cash position will need to be monitored closely. Following
the Financial Plan Overview are schedules summarizing the General Fund reserve balances.
The Pure Fund Balance is used to provide for cash flow in the first quarter of the new fiscal year
because the majority of property taxes are not received until October/November and cash balances
- 26 -
are drawn down. The following chart shows cash flow needs or how expenditures have exceeded
receipts in the first three months of the past eight years.

1 987 $2,560,239 $4,574,149 ($2,O13,910)
The pure fund balance at year-end will provide funding for the shortfall.
E. DEBT SERVICE FUND
This fund provides for the payment of the principal and interest due on general obligation debt of
the City. Funding is provided by the Debt Service Tax Levy and abatement transfers from various
Enterprise Funds for their capital improvements which were funded by General Obligation Bonds.
Debt Service expenses in FY96 through FY98 include proposed bond issues of $4.4 million in
FY96, $6.5 million in FY97, and $4.4 million in FY98.
As stated in the City's Fiscal Policy, "Debt incurred as a general obligation of the CiW of Iowa City
shall not exceed statutory limits: presently 5% of the total assessed value of property within the
corporate limits as established by the City Assessor."
The following schedule shows the relation of Iowa City's allowable debt margin and the debt
incurred for FY90 through FY98. The total property valuation amounts are actual for FY90-FY94,
but are estimates for FY95 through FY98.

F. TRUST AND AGENCY FUND
The Trust and Agency Fund budgets for JCCOG (Johnson County Council of Governments). The
JCCOG fund is an agency fund. The City only acts as custodian for the fund and provides
accounting services. JCCOG provides county-wide planning assistance for transportation, human
services and solid waste planning.
G. OTHER FUNDS
Internal Service funds include the Equipment Maintenance Fund, Equipment Replacement Fund, the
Central Supply and Print Shop Fund, the Risk Management Loss Reserve Fund and the Health
Insurance Reserve Fund. The Equipment Maintenance Fund provides maintenance for all City
vehicles and equipment and rents vehicles to other City departments from a central vehicle pool.
Funding is provided from a chargeback to all departments for the maintenance services and the
rentals of vehicles. The Equipment Replacement Fund is used to replace almost all of the rolling
stock of all City vehicles. Funding is provided from a chargeback to all departments based on the
estimated replacement value at the time of replacement. The Central Services Fund covers the
operation of the general office supply inventory, the print shop, copiers, phone communications,
mail services, radio maintenance and the FAX machine. Both of these functions are available to
all City departments who are charged based upon the services utilized. The Risk Management Loss
Reserve Fund accounts for the liability for all funds except the General Fund. All funds are charged
based on their loss experience and prorated share of premium. The Health Insurance Reserve
accounts for the actual payment of all health and dental claims. Funding is based on premiums
based on actuarially sound estimates and charged to each department.
The Special Revenue Funds include the Employee Benefits Fund, Community Development Block
Grant Fund (CDBG), Road Use Tax Fund, Public/Assisted Housing and Special Assessments. The
Employee Benefits Fund accounts for the receipt of property taxes related to employer share of
benefits of the General Fund. Transfers to the General Fund are made from here.
The CDBG and Public/Assisted Housing Funds account for revenue from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development programs and is restricted in use for eligible projects as defined
by Federal regulations. The Road Use Tax Fund accounts for revenue from the State and is used
to pay for street related maintenance and planning, traffic engineering and street related
construction costs.
ENTERPRISE FUNDS
The Enterprise Funds include Parking, Wastewater Treatment, Water, Refuse, Landfill, Airport, Transit
and Broadband Telecommunications. These are primarily funded from user fees for services provided
with the exception of transit and airport. They receive .most of thetr funding from property taxes, a
General Fund subsidy. The other six funds are self-supporting from revenue that they generate.
-28-
A. PARKING FUND
Parking rates were increased last on July 1, 1992. There are no rate increases calculated into the
three-year financial plan. Revenues for the three-year plan are flat. Parking fines are receipted into
the parking fund to satisfy revenue requirements for Parking Revenue bond covenants. If the bond
covenants are satisfied and the cash balance at year end is adequate, the revenue from fines is
transferred to the General Fund. Based on the cash balances declining from approximately
$1,000,000 at the end of FY95 to approximately $93,000 at the end of FY98, a rate increase to
fund operations will need to be enacted sometime within three-year financial plan.
Parking expenditures reflect no change in staffing or operations. Transfers are approximately one-
half of the operating budget. Transfers include the funding for debt payments, parking fines,
transfer to the General Fund, parking reserve for ramp repairs and an operating subsidy to the
transit operations.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT FUND
The wastewater treatment fund reflects the most recent 35% rate increase enacted for bills on or
after March 1, 1995. There are no other rate increases reflected in the three-year plan. Rates will
need to be adjusted after the decision is made on a timetable to proceed with constructing the
planned wastewater projects.
Expenses reflect no new increases in staff in the three-year plan. Transfers are the largest portion
of the operating budget, accounting for approximately $4.65 million in expenses or 62% of the
budget. Transfers pay for the debt service on bonds outstanding. Transfers reflect debt service
on new issues in 1996, 1997, and 1998. The wastewater portion of those bond issues are
$925,000, $1.9 million, and $200,000 in the three-year plan. Otherwise there is no significant
changes in operating expenses in the three-year plan as proposed.
C. WATER FUND
The water fund reflects the most recent 40% rate increase enacted for bills on or after March 1,
1995. There are no rate increases factored in the three-year plan after that. Once a decision is
made on the timetable of a new water treatment facility, rates will need to be calculated and
factored into the three-year plan.
FYg6 reflects the addition of 1½ full-time equivalent meter reader positions to accommodate
monthly billing. There are no other new staffing positions reflected in the three-year plan.
Transfers in FY96 reflect the debt service on 95.4 million of general obligation bond debt. The
majority of this bond issue will reimburse the City for the cost of condemnation related to buying
land for the new water treatment facility. No additional significant debt is factored into the three-
year plan.
D. REFUSE FUND
No significant changes are reflected in operations within this fund. A 22% rate increase is factored
in FY96, a 5% in 1997 and a 3.1% in 1998 in curbside refuse collection fees. Recycling fees
reflect no change in FY96, a 4.6% increase in 1997 and a 4.4% increase in 1998. These
increases are necessary to maintain the fund at its current level.
E. LANDFILL FUND
The three-year financial plan reflects increases in tipping fees of 1.5% each year. There are no
significant changes in operations or transfers within this fund. The $1.7 million annual transfer
-29-
from the operating fund to landfill replacement reserve is used for the construction of new landfill
cells, purchase of additional landfill land, and any major capital projects that are needed at the
landfill.
AIRPORT
The Airport operating fund reflects no significant change in operations. Transfer increases slightly
and is related to the bonds being paid off in FY96 and new expenditures replacing that in the form
of a loan repayment. The loan repayment reflects amounts borrowed to build a new T-Hangar, an
asphalt overlay project and a major roof repair. The General Fund subsidy increases to
approximately 50% of the budget in the three-year plan.
G. TRANSIT FUND
The Transit Operating Fund reflects the addition of a new route. Although for accounting purposes
this fund is considered an enterprise fund, which means fees pay for the majority of the costs
associated with this fund, fees are one of the smallest portions of this budget. Less than 25% of
the revenue generated from this fund is from fees. Another 16% is received from federal, state
and local government. Starting in FY95, $90,000 has been transferred from the Parking Fund to
the Transit Fund as an operating subsidy. The majority of the funding in the Transit Fund comes
from a .95 tax on all taxable property within the City of Iowa City. This generates approximately
$1.4 million a year. In addition, the General Fund subsidizes an additional $565,000 in 1996,
$800,000 in 1997 and $840,000 in 1998 to operate this fund. This subsidization has a direct
impact on the General Fund operations. As costs and new routes are added within this fund, the
only source of funding for those new projects is the General Fund.
The transfer out reflects an amount to the transit replacement fund which is used to pay for the
City's portion of new bus purchases.

H. BROADBAND TELECOMMUNICATIONS
This fund accounts for the Cable TV operations of the City. The funding source is'from the cable
franchise fee of 5% which is part of the monthly bill for Cable TV. There are no significant
changes within this fund over the three-year plan. Transfers include an operating subsidy to the
- 30 -
l!
Library for cable TV of $37,300 in FY96 and an increase up to 942,700 in FY98. In addition,
910,000 a year is transferred to the Cable TV replacement reserve fund, which is used to replace
equipment on an as-needed basis. FY96 marks the last payment to the General Fund for the cable
TV cost-associated with the Civic Center expansion.
RESERVE FUNDS
The revenue bond ordinance covenants require that Parking and the Wastewater Treatment Fund set
aside these special accounts:
a) Bond and Interest Sinking Reserves - amounts sufficient to pay current bond and interest
maturities. (Transfers from the appropriate operating fund are made monthly.)
b) Bond and Interest Reserves - balances to be maintained that are equal to the maximum amount of
principal and interest due on the bonds in any succeeding fiscal year. (Current parking balance is
9651,113 and current Wastewater balance is 93,672,550.)
c) Depreciation, Extension and improvement Reserve or Renewal and improvement Reserves -
9240,000 transferred annually for Wastewater Treatment until a balance of 92 million is reached
(current balance is 92,000,000) and 960,000 transferred annually for Parking until a balance of
9300,000 is reached (current balance is ~300,000).
Parking, Landfill, Water, Transit and Broadband Telecommunications have separate reserves for future
capital expenditures. The Parking reserve is to be used for every other year ramp repairs and for a
future parking facility. Landfill's reserve is to be used for the purchase of additional landfill land and
cell construction, Landfill closure funding and a perpetual care fund. The Water reserve is available
to fund major capital improvement projects for the water plant in future years. The Transit reserve will
be used to repay loans from the federal and state governments and to fund future bus acquisitions.
Broadband Telecommunications' reserve is for future equipment replacement.

Proposed
Capital Improvements Program
1995 through 2001
December, 1994
December 1994
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Iowa City
CITY OF IOWA CITY
Re: Seven-Year Capital Improvements Program (ClP) for Fiscal Year 1995 through Fiscal Year 2001
Mayor and City Council Members:
The City Council in 1993 evaluated capital projects to determine their merit and priority in relation to other projects. The CIP represents
major project planning categories such as Street Reconstruction; both unimproved and existing, New Streets, Bridges, Wastewater, Water,
Parks and Recreation, Stormwater, Airport, Landfill and Other. Within each category the projects were evaluated and compared to each
other to determine the priority. After the City Council prioritization of the projects, financial resources were identified.
This new seven-year CIP lists the projects that are completed or in progress. Another schedule lists modifications to last year's seven-year
CIP. The modifications include changes in project costs and/or fiscal year to be completed.
The seven-year CIP also identifies capital projects that were prioritized but do not now have funding. A listing oft~ose projects is included
at the end of the plan and can be used for future CIP updates.
This seven-year CIP plan is instrumental in the engineering work program and financial strategies for the upcoming years. This multi-year
document enables future City Councils to be aware of plans and priorities as well as providing a far better and more informed involvement
on the part of citizens.
Sincerely yours,
Stephe
CityManager

MEMORANDUM
Date: Decemher~ 1994
To: City Council
From: City Manager
Re: Financial Trend Monitoring System (FTMS)
One of the most significant qualities of the City's budget process has been our use of a multi-year
program format which requires that financial decisions be considered in terms of longer range
consequences. While most Iowa cities and cou0ties do not use such a budget process, the extra
time and effort involved, I believe, is worthwhile and most helpful in our operational planning. We
now propose to implement a new policy/management tool, Financial Trend Monitoring. With the
implementation of a Financial Trend Monitoring System (FTMS), we are afforded an opportunity to
improve the overall quality of decision making by providing a financial history related to us through
not only financial measurements but also social, demographic, and economic factors.
The consistent and equitable management of a community's financial condition appears to be a
common goal of all municipalities. The City of low2 City has completed an analysis of its financial
condition with the primary objectives of the FTMS being:
· To assess the overall financial strength of the City.
· To identify possible financial problems in time to take corrective action.
· To provide a long-range perspective for budgetary and financial decision making.
· To provide a straight forward picture of the City's financial strengths and weaknesses for
its citizens, elected officials and management.
The FTMS is based on a methodology developed by the International City/County Management
Association (ICMA) in cooperation with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and is intended to
analyze key financial indicator trends for a multi-year peried. The City bf Iowa City was fortunate
to have undertaken early initiatives in preparing for FTM5 by way of our multi-year budget format,
and we have adapted the work of ICM^ and NSF to our local situation.
The financial conditions and trends of a city can be viewed in a number of ways. Viewed narrowly,
financial condition can refer to the ability of a city to generate revenue to pay all of its expenses both
in the short term and in the longer term, over a year or more. This would include the ability of a
government to meet obligations which may not be apparent in the short run, including certain
pension costs, payments for accrued employee leave, deferred maintenance and replacement of
capital assets such as facilities and equipment. Viewed more broadly, financial condition can refer
to the ability of a government to provide the level and quality of services required for the general
health and welfare of the community. This broader view of financial condition may be defined in
-1-
terms of the City's ability to: maintain existing service levels; withstand local and regional economic
disruptions; and meet the demands of natural growth, decline, and change.
^ determination of financial condition should provide a basis for answering questions such as: Can
the City continue to pay for what it is presently doing? Is there anything left over for new programsT
Are there reserves for emergencies? Is there sufficient financial flexibility to allow for the process
of normal growth and change?
A city government does not operate in a vacuum -- the economy, other governments, and the public
all create situations that must be addressed by the local government. The ability of the city to
analyze these situations and then become involved in an informed, effective fashion is the key
benefit of having the FTMS available to us. As a management tool, it provides a history of where
we have been to help chart a course for the future.
The FTMS has provided a picture of the City's financial strengths and weaknesses. When presented
to the City Council, the community, credit rating firms and City departments, we are better able to
develop a better perspective of what constitutes our management and policy challenges. Overall,
the FTMS has shown a healthy fiscal condition for the City of Iowa City. However, some negative
trends are evident and must be monitored. The FTMS has indicated that fine tuning of many of our
financial operations and policy decisions can be just as effective as complete revamping of
procedures. The FTMS has enabled the City to look at itself as a private industry might examine
itself. The theory is not new, but its application in the political environment of government appears
to be not only a sound management initiative, but is also crucial to the ability of a government to
deal with the complex issues it routinely faces. The FTMS is not a panacea or quick fix, but is a
dynamic working document that can be of help to us as we look to our future policy challenges.
As you review the FTMS, keep in mind how we might apply current budget proposal to the trends
that have been identified. By application of the budget proposals we can determine whether they
are in keeping with good fiscal management practices and whether our community has the
wherewithal to satisfy the proposals.

Revenue
Indicators
II
Summary of Revenue Indicators
Revenues represent the ability of a city to provide services for its citizens. Important issues to
consider are growth, source, flexibility, and administration. The ideal scenario is to have revenue
growth at a rate equal to or greater than the combined effects of inflation and expenditure pressures.
They would be sufficiently flexible to respond to changing conditions. There would be a balance
between the amount of revenues which grow with inflation and those that are relatively constant.
The source of revenues would be diverse enough to prevent an over dependency on a single source
of income. There would be a regular evaluation of fees to ensure they cover the cost of services to
the extent desires by policy makers.

Revenues per Capita
in order for a municipality to maintain an expected level of service, the amount of revenues per
capita should at least remain constant or be increasing. Under ideal conditions, revenue sources will
grow at a rate equal to or greater than the combined effects of inflation and expenditure demands.
When revenues per capita are decreasing, the assumption is the municipality will be unable to
continue to provide the levels of service that have come to be expected unless them is a plan t°
substantially reduce co~ or new revenue sources are found.
City's Analysis of Trend
Iowa City's revenue per capita has a positive growth trend over the past ten years. Except for 1987
there was constant and steady growth between 1985 and 1989. In 1990, revenues per capita
declined and held steady in 1991. holding constant at the 1989 level. In 1992 there was a drematic
increase in the amount of revenues collected per person due to a number of factors. The City
received a one-time State grant in 1992 as well as an increase in the amount of Road Use Tax
received. Additionally, there was an increase in miscellaneous revenue in the General Fund during
1992. The decrease in 1993's per capita can be explained by 1992's State grant and large
miscellaneous income as well as a decrease in the Debt Service tax levy in 1993.
Trend is Positive
Revenues per capita have increased or held fairly constant over the past ten years.

Restricted Revenues
The restricted revenues that the City receives are associated with the Debt Service fund and the Trust
and Agency fund to pay employee benefits in the General Fund, which includes property tax and
interest income. Additionally, all components of the Road Use Tax Fund, a state tax on gasoline
purchases, are restricted to repair, maintenance and construction projects related to meets.
Restricted revenues are legally earmarked for a specific use. The City could choose to discontinue
capital improvements projects if they wanted to avoid having restricted revenues for the debt service
fund. But this would be detrimental to the City as issuing debt is one of the few ways that the City
has to finance major street, stormwater, park repair projects, etc. When restricted revenues become
a large portion of the City's total revenues, a certain amount of flexibility is lost in its service
structure.
City's Analysis of Trend
Over the past ten years restricted revenues have been right around 40% of net operating revenues.
There have been fluctuations both above and below this level, but restricted revenues appear to be
holding fairly steady as a percentage of net operating revenues.
Trend is Positive
A stable percentage of restricted revenues to net operating revenues is very positive as this means
restricted revenues are increasing each year.

Intergovernmental Revenues
Intergovernmental revenues are those revenues received from any other governmental entities. The
City codld face difficult decisions if the intergovernmental revenues were either eliminated or
withdrawn, such as whether to replace the revenues by raising taxes or eliminating services. New
taxes are unlikely due to statutory restrictions on rates, tax base growth and/or voter requirements.
The major concern with intergovernmental revenues is to make sure that the City is controlling the
revenues, not the revenues controlling the City.
Intergovernmental revenues include revenue from the University Fire Contract, Federal Revenue
Sharing (ended in 1987), Road Use Tax (distributed on 1990 census and per capita rate), personal
property replacement tax (started in 1988), State Municipal Assistance, Bank Franchise Tax and
Milita~/credit and monies.
City's Analysis of Trend
In the first four years, 1985-1988, the trend was downward. The percent of intergovernmental
revenues to net operating revenue decreased 7.3% over that time span. There was a large drop
between 1986 and 1987 (4.5%) that is mainly attributable to the elimination of Federal Revenue
Sharing. 1987 was the last year of the Federal Revenue Sharing program and is, therefore,
responsible for the decrease between 1987 and 1988. Since 1988 the percentage has plateaued at
about 18-20% with one significant change in 1992. In 1992, Road Use Tax Revenue increased by
$709,000 as the new 1990 census figures were being used and the City received a $216,000, one-
time grant for street paving. All other state aid decreased by $134,000. The increase in 1994 was
due to increased revenues from the University Fire Contract and the Road Use Tax as well as FEMA
assistance for the flood.
Trend Needs Monitoring
There is a positive trend for revenue from the University Fire Contract and Road Use Tax revenues.
Revenues increased from $2,116,315 in 1985 to $4,286,517 in 1994.
State Aid revenue is a negative trend. The City has been forced to become less reliant.on this
revenue source.
If you exclude the University Fire Contract, Road Use Tax revenue and one-time grants, all other
State Aid is $8,000 less in 1994 ($1,133,411) than in 1988 ($1,141,003). This is a negative trend.

Elastic Tax Revenues
Some revenues am tied directly to the economy as a whole, such as interest income, sales tax and
income taxes. These types of revenues are known as elastic tax revenues. When interest rates are
high, interest income will also be comparatively higher. When the City is faced with inflationary
periods it is beneficial to have large amounts of elastic tax revenues because the inflationary
increases boost the City's revenue yield in proportion to the pdce it must pay for goods and sewices.
There should be a balance achieved between elastic and inelastic revenues to protect the City's
financial interests.
City's Analysis of Trend
In the past ten years the percentage of elastic tax revenues to net operating revenues has held fairly
constant. There was a slight increase in 1990, but as a whole there has been very little change. The
average is only 1.8% of net operating revenues over the ten year period. The only elastic tax
revenues that the City has is interest income. Therefore, it is understandable and expected that the
amount of revenues has not fluctuated significantly because the amount of return on our investments
is not proportionately large when compared to operating revenues.
The City should look to expand their elastic tax revenues in order to reach the desired balance
between elastic and inelastic revenues. In a period when many people feel that inflation is
inevitable, the City should implement a plan to increase the amount of elastic revenues in order to
increase revenue as expenditures for goods and services also increase. One possibility is a sales tax.
There are few options for local government in that the State has reserved for itself major elastic
revenue sources.
Trend Should be Monitored
Elastic revenues are very minimal.

Property Tax Revenues per Capita
Property taxes make up the largest part of net operating income for the City. All funding that cannot
be generated from state aid, license and fees, interest, or other local revenue sources must be
attained by means of a property tax levy. The City faced a fiscal predicament because of the freeze
placed on property taxes by the State of Iowa through fiscal year 1995. The general and transit
levies cannot be increased during this time period except for new construction growth and an
unusual need limited to a state defined inflation factor. A decline in property taxes normally is the
result of one or more of the following factors:
1. Decline in property values as a result of deterioration or aging of the property.
2. Decline in population,
3. Outdated assessments- properties are reassessed every other year.
City's Analysis of Trend
The property taxes per capita increased dramatically from 1985 to 1988 and from 1989 to 1991 they
declined each year. 1992 and 1993 saw slight increases with another decline in 1994. Property
taxes per capita in constant dollars are less in 1994 than in 1988. The City has not, however,
become overly reliant on the property taxes to fund its activities; however, some caution must be
noted. In the past ten years the percentage of property tax revenues to net operating revenues has
risen from 590/° to 61% with fluctuations up and down during the period. If services and
expenditures continue to expand, and the ability to increase property taxes does not exist, the City
will need to find other ways of generating revenues.
The increases in property taxes per capita in the years 1988 and 1993 can be explained by increases
in the Transit tax lew. In 1988, the Transit tax levy was increased from $0.36 per $1000 of property
to $0.481 per $1000 and then to $0.54 per $1000 in 1989. In 1993 the levy increased from $0.54
per $1000 to $0.95 per $1000 of property value. Additionally, in 1993 voters approved a library
levy of $0.27 per $1,000 of property value.
Trend Should be Monitored
With the continued dependency on property taxes to fund the City's operations and the property tax
freeze starting in FY94, this trend should be monitored closely.

Revenue Shortfalls
A revenue shortfall occurs when budgeted revenues exceed actual revenues. Revenue shortfalls
occur when either one or a combination of the following factors occur:
1. Declining economy.
2. A change in state or federal funding policies.
3. Inaccurate estimating techniques.
When a revenue shortfall occurs the City usually uses the fund balance to offset the shortfall. Other
options available are short-term borrowing or reductions in service. Short term borrowing has been
avoided due to increased costs associated with borrowing for operation needs.
City's Analysis of Trend
The City of Iowa City has not experienced a revenue shortfall in the past ten years. The City uses
a conservative approach when projecting revenues.
Trend is Positive
No revenue shortfalls have been experienced in the past ten years.

Summary of Expenditure Indicators
Expenditures are a rough measure of services provided. it is necessary to analyze expenditures to
make certain trends correspond with revenue trends as well as the community's tax base, ,Another
area of concern when looking at expenditures is "fixed costs." Fixed costs take away the ability of
the city to decide in what areas they would like to direct expenditures. As debt service, contractual
agreements and other fixed costs increase as a percentage of expenditures, the City's flexibility
decreases.
An analysis of the City's expenditure profile will assist in identifying the following problems:
Expenditure growth which is out of proportion with revenue growth.
Possible declines in productivity.
Unfavorable increases in fixed cost categories.

Expenditures per Capita
Expenditures per capita, adjusted for inflation, measure changes in expenditures relative to changes
in population. An increase in expenditures per capita may indicate that service demands are
exceeding the City's tax base growth. On the other hand, this may mean that additional services
have been added or additional debt has been issued, creating a need for increased debt service. The
increases which cannot be explained through identification of specific service additions may mean
that the productivity of the work force is declining.
City's Analysis of Trend
The average percentage change from FY85 to FY90 was less than 2%. In 1992 the expenditures per
capita increased by 5.6%. Ceneral Fund transfers increased by $1,280,000, This increase is related
to a $1.3 million transfer for the Civic Center North Court building project. Debt service principal
and interest payments increased by $319,000 and contractual services and commodities increased
by $228,000 in that year. Personnel costs increased by $914,000 -- $174,000 from increases in
employer provided health insurance costs and other fringe benefits. The balance is from adding six
Police Department employees over two years and annual pay increases for all employees. FY93
showed no increase and FY94 had a decrease of 1.2%.
Trend Should be Monitored
Expenditures per capita in constant dollars for the last two fiscal years have increased at a lower rate
than inflation, or decreased. This is a positive trend.

Employees per Capita
Employee wages are a major part of the budget for the City. If the number of employees per capita
is growing, it may be a sign that the expenditures are growing faster than the revenues generated by
the City. It may also be a sign that the City operations are becoming too labor intensive or that
employees are becoming less efficient. One important consideration is that some services may be
expanded to areas in which the population does not correspond to the amount of labor, such as new
landfill employees to meet many new federal or state operational requirements.
City's Analysis of Trend
From 1985 to 1989 the City experienced a trend of shrinking work force per 10OO citizens. In 1985
there were 8.2 employees per 1000 citizens and in 1989 the number had fallen to 7.6 employees
per 1000 citizens. Starting in 1990, there has been a slight growth trend. The 1994 ratio was 8.3
employees per 1000 citizens.
The growth between 1990 and 1991 was due to minor increases in many departments. The major
increases were Library (2), Broadband Telecommunications (2), Landfill Operations (2.5), Police
Department (2.8), and Refuse Collection Operations (4). Between 1991 and 1992 there were minor
increases again. The largest of these were Streets System Maintenance (2), Landfill Operations (3),
and Transit Operations (3.13). Between 1992 and 1993 the most significant increases were Refuse
Collection Operations (4), Library (5.5), and the Police Department (7.5).

Fringe Benefits
Fringe benefits are a significant portion of personnel cost. Included in fringe benefits are pension
payments, health insurance, dental insurance, longevity pay, and social security payments which
require immediate cash outlays. Items not included are vacation and sick leave.
City's Analysis of Trend
The City of Iowa City provides employees with certain benefits: insurance (health, dental, disability,
and death), longevity pay, and retirement, Benefits are derived through collective bargaining
agreements or, in the case of pension, through the requirements of the State. Fringe benefits as a
percent of total salaries showed little fluctuation between 1985 to 1989. In 1990 the percent
increased by 2.5%. In 1991 it increased by .9% and then decreased by .2% in 1992 and .1% in
1993. The total increase between 1989 and 1993 was 3.1%. The major factors influencing this
increase were an increase in health care costs and an increase in longevity pay. The increase
between 1993 and 1994 was due to increased health and dental insurance costs and increased
contributions to the Public Safety Retirement Fund. This area will require monitoring in the future.
Future bargaining and insurance costs could affect this indicator.
Trend Should be Monitored
These costs can be controlled through collective bargaining agreements, while insurance costs
increase in accordance with market and experience factors and legislative changes by the State and
Federal governments.

Operating Position
Indicators

Summary of Operating Position Indicators
A city's operating position refers to its deficit or surplus position at the end of the year. This analysis
will focus on three facets of operating position. The first, current year operating position, refers to
the amount of surplus or deficit remaining after total revenues and total expenses for a given year
have been compared. The second facet is that of unrestricted fund balance, which is the net
increase or decrease in operating position of the given year plus the results of operations from prior
years. The third facet of operating position is "liquidity." Liquidity is a ratio comparing how much
cash and short-term investments are on hand with the amount of short-term obligations of the city.
Positive fund balances are an important source of cash and short-term assets.
Fund balances am important for several reasons. First, continuing deficits are a striking indicator of
financial problems. However, there may be times when deficits may be planned over a period of
time in order to reduce an excessively large fund balance. Finally, positive fund balances are the
city's reserves. The reserves are necessary to even out cash flows, avoid short-term borrowing, and
to be held for emergencies such as natural disasters, economic decline, or termination or reduction
of funding sources.

Fund Balances
Fund balance is normally defined as the total accumulated surplus funds generated from operations.
Fund balances are an important indicator of financial problems, Continued operating deficits can
be an indicator of financial problems, Planned deficits can occur when fund balances need to be
adjusted.
Fund balances which are unappropriated and are not allocated to a reserve are referred to as
unrestricted fund balances. These funds are the available operating reserves (working capital). The
ability of the City to respond to financial emergencies such as storms or flooding, revenue shortfalls,
severe unexpected increases in cost of goods and services, labor arbitration rulings and uninsured
losses may be determined by the fund balance.
Restricted fund balance is the total of the cash balances of the Debt Service fund, the Employee
Benefits fund, the Road Use Tax fund, and the Federal Revenue Sharing (ended in 1987) fund.
Additionally, there may be some cash from the General fund which may also be set aside for a
specific purpose. These include several library accounts, parkland acquisition/development and fire
vehicle replacement that are included in the General fund balances.
City's Analysis of Trend
The City of Iowa City has historically maintained unrestricted fund balances to provide working
capital in the first quarter of the fiscal year. This is necessary because property tax revenue is not
received until the second quarter of the fiscal year. The maintenance of the fund balance allows
normalization of operations throughout the year. Failure to maintain an adequate fund balance
could require reductions in service during the first quarter. During the past ten years the unrestricted
fund balance has varied from a low of 6.2% in 1986 to a high of 22.8% in 1994.
Trend is Positive
Steady upward percentage growth from 1986 to 1991. 1992 decrease was the result of increases
in restricted fund balance. There have been increases in 1993 and 1994.

Liquidity
The amount of cash on hand and short term investments compared to the amount of short term
obligations is referred to'as liquidity. This ratio is comparable to a commercial entities "quick ratio"'
which also includes accounts receivable. However, the City's accounts receivable are not usually
collected as quickly as a commercial entity's and therefore is left out of the equation. If the ratio
is less than one-to-one it is considered a negative factor and may force the municipality to use short-
term borrowings to pay bills as they come about.
City's Analysis of Trend
The City experienced a fairly steady liquidity ratio from 1985 to 1988, hovering around the 2.5 to
3.0 range with a high of 3.8 in 1986 and a low of 2.1 in 1987. In 1989 the liquidity ratio increased
dramatically from 2.8 to 9.0. This can be explained by noticing the severe drop in current liabilities
at year end. The increases seen in 1992 and 1993 are for the most part due to increased investment
by the Employee Benefit fund. The liquidity numbers for 1994 are not currently available.
Current assets are comprised of cash on hand and investments. Current liabilities include accounts
and contracts payable, accrued liabilities, due to other funds and governments, and matured debt.
Trend is Positive
The liquidity ratio has grown over the past three years.

Debt Structure
Indicators
i!
Summary of Debt Structure Indicators
Most cities issue long-term debt to finance capital improvements. In order to finance construction
projects, bonds are sold and are then normally repaid over a 10- to 25-year time frame. This
functions not only to provide cash needed for construction, but it also creates a degree of equity in
that the debt is paid over a long period of time. This, effectively, means that the facilities are being
financed by all people who use them, not just the taxpayers at the time the facility is constructed.
While debt can be very useful, it must be closely monitored. An adequate debt management policy
requires that: 1) a city's debt be proportionate in size and growth to its tax base; 2) debt would not
extend beyond the useful life of facilities financed; 3) debt proceeds would not be used to balance
operating budgets; 4) repayment schedules would not constitute an excessive burden on operating
expenditures; 5) debt would not be so high as to jeopardize the city's credit rating,

Net Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt is debt whereby the City has pledged its "full faith and credit," and a portion of the
tax levy must be dedicated towards the retirement of that debt. This does not include revenue
bonds, special assessment bonds, or bonds paid out of some other sinking fund. Debt issues are
desirable for municipalities in that projects are funded by low interest cost funds (tax exempt) and
are repaid over a period of years with a lower dollar value. 8y using bonds to finance projects a
certain amount of equity is achieved in that the project is being paid off over time, while the
facilities financed are being paid for by all of the citizens over that period of time, not just the
individuals paying taxes at the time of the debt issuance.
Debt management should be an integral part of capital improvements budgeting and long-range
planning. The use of careful planning and the orderly execution of those plans is essential in
meeting the future needs of the community. When debt is managed correctly, it can be a very
useful tool for meeting our community's needs for capital assets.
City's Analysis of Trend
Cities in iowa have a State imposed restriction allowing long-term debt carried at any given time to
not exceed 5% of the assessed valuation of property in the municipality. The City of Iowa City has
a tradition of having extremely low long-term debt as a percentage of allowable debt. The range
over the past ten years has been at a high of 28% in 1987 to a low of 14% in 1993. The trend has
been constantly declining over the past 6 years since the high in 1987. The large increase in long-
term debt in 1987 was for a municipal swimming pool at Mercer Park, renovation of City Park Pool,
an East Side water storage tank, and for other 1987 capital improvements program projects. The
!ncrease ih 1994 was due to a bond issue to support the upgrade of Rohret Road, to improve
wastewater facilities and for a new water treatment facility to meet EPA standards, and for various
parks projects.
Trend is Positive
Net-long term debt as a percentage of the allowable debt limit was declining between 1987 and
1993. The increase in 1994 was from the issuance of bonds totaling $7,370,000.

Debt Service
Total debt service includes general obligation debt that can be repaid from the debt sen/ice property
tax levy ~s well as abated from user fees (Water, Wastewater, special assessments, etc.). Net direct
debt service is the amount of principal and interest that is repaid using only the debt sen/ice property
tax levy. Debt sen/ice cannot be subjected to budget reductions and is, therefore, an inhibitor to
the flexibility of a municipality's expenditures. Debt service must be tied to the municipality's ability
to pay both in the present and the future.
City's Analysis of Trend
From 1985 until 1988 there was a steady growth in debt service with a high in 1988 of 1~,.5%.
Since that time there has been a steady decrease in debt service coming to a low in 1994 of 7.7%.
A credit industry benchmark is that if the debt service is greater than 20% of operating revenues
there is a potential problem.
Trend is Positive
In the past 6 years debt service has steadily declined as a percentage of operating revenues. In 1994
it hit a low of 7.7%.

Overlapping Debt
Overlapping debt is the net direct debt of another local governmental unit that is issued against the
tax base of property which falls within a city's corporate limits. Some examples of overlapping debt
are the school district and the county government. Overlapping debt measures the ability of the
property owners to pay all of their taxes, not just those levied by the City.
Analysis of Trend
The City of Iowa City has had negligible amounts of overlapping debt in the past ten years. In 1995,
overlapping debt was at 0.6% of the allowable debt limit. In the three years following, the
overlapping debt steadily fell, eventually reaching zero percent of the allowable debt limit. The
Iowa City School District issued $7.375 million of general obligation bonds in FY94. The City's
portion is approximately 71% of the outstanding debt.
Trend is Positive
Overlapping debt has been insignificant in the past nine years. Even with the Iowa City School
District bond issue, the City's share is 5.62%. This percentage will decrease as the bonds are paid
off and assessed value increases.

Community Needs
and Resource Indicators
~ :39 -
Summary of Community Needs and Resource Indicators
Many factors contribute to a community's wealth, size, growth potential, and overall economic
environment. There is an inter-relationship between many of the community's needs and resources.
When there is a significant change in one, the ripple effect is felt in many of the other indicators as
well. If, for instance, the unemployment rate were to increase and the population began to decrease
as the employable population migrated to other communities, the median age of the city would
increase and median income would decrease.
Local source govemmental revenues are dependent upon these economic factors within the
community. Adequate per capita income and stable business activity are essential to insure a sound
tax base.
An analysis of the local economic and demographic trends is necessary to determine if:
1. There has been a decline in the overall community tax base.
2. There is a growing need for a shift in service priorities to better fit the community.

Population
Population has a direct impact on the economic well being of a municipality. Some state and most
federal aid is distributed using formulas with population being one of the components. ^ sudden
surge in population can cause temporary problems for a community and create more demand for
services. If this population growth is supported by additional tax base and jobs, the additional
service costs should only have a minimal effect on the tax rate over a period of years. A decline in
population often leaves the municipality unable to reduce services in proportion. Many of the City's
costs are fixed, benefits and debt service, and cannot be reduced in a short period of time.
Analysis of Trend
Population has consistently grown over the past ten years. Much of the increased service costs have
been paid for by the increased tax base.
Trend is Positive
Population has grown steadily over the past ten years.

Property Value
Property value is an indication of a community's wealth, as well as a demonstration of ability to pay.
Although a major-portion of a municipality's revenues do not come directly from a property tax levy
based upon the property value, it is still the most important revenue because it can be used to
balance the budget. Many other revenues are set by other governmental units and they may not
change with the needs of the community. Property values are updated and reviewed frequently and
provide a sound base to determine what amount to levy to fulfill the needs of the community. If
this revenue base is declining, it is likely that other wealth and income statistics for the community
are also declining such as income per capita, business activity, etc.
City's Analysis of Trend
The decrease in property value between 1985 and 1986 is due to the exemption of personal
property from taxes. If personal property had not been eliminated from 198.5, there would have
been a 2.15% increase in property value between 1985 and 1986. Therefore, there was not a real
decrease in property value, but there was a change in what was included-in the total. The decrease
seen between 1987 and 1988 is due to a substantial reduction in agriculture land and structures
valuation. This reduction was the result of an equalization adjustment of -15% that took place in
November of 1987. Additionally, the decrease in 1990 was also due to an agriculture write down
of 13%.
When these items are taken into consideration, the trend becomes easier to analyze. While there
have been some decreases in property value over the past ten years, they have been minor and
mainly due to a reduction in value of agriculture property. Over the past three years the City has
experienced growth in property value.
Trend is Positive
The City has experienced growth in property value the last four years.

Unemployment Rate
Unemployment rate is a very good indicator of business activity in a community and may also be
a forewaming to possible revenue problems for a city. A higher unemployment rate leads to less
income to be spent by the citizens within the businesses of the community. If the overall business
activity of the city is on the decline, the city may face a revenue shortage in upcoming years.
City's Analysis of Trend
Unemployment in Iowa City has remained very low through the past ten years in comparison to the
state and the nation as a whole. The high was in 1985 at 3.4% and reached a low of 1.6% in 1989.
The latest figures for 1994 show the average unemployment rate in Iowa City at 2.7%. These figures
should be used with caution for official use because they are not published numbers from Job
Services, but are their estimates for Iowa City. They do, however, serve our purpose because they
provide a basis for comparison over time.
Trend ts Positive
Iowa City's unemployment rate has remained fairly constant over the past ten years.

Residential Development
Residential developments normally have more demands for governmental services than either
industrial or commercial developments. Normally, it is undesirable to have residential growth
increasing faster than commercial and industrial growth. An old planning adage is that residential
development creates expenditure drains, industrial development creates' revenue surpluses, and
commercial development pays for itself. An exception to this general rule is a high density
neighborhood of middle-age upper income families whose children have left home and they look
to the city for few services. New homes in developing areas require more investment by the city
than new homes in already established neighborhoods. The extent to which a new residential
development affects the financial condition of a city is dependant upon the city's economy, tax
structure, and expenditure profile.
City's Analysis of Trend
Residential property market value as a percentage of total property market value has steadily grown
over the past ten years with minor dips in 1987 and 1992, There were 372 new homes figured in
the 1994 assessment, The lowest value was 57.7% in 1987 and the highest is the current figure,
61.1%. The residential growth is not a bad thing by itself, but when it is growing at a faster rate than
either industrial or commercial land values, this creates an expenditure drain on the community,
Trend Needs Monitoring
With the constant growth of residential property value as a percentage of total property market value,
these areas may cause a revenue crunch for the City if current service standards are to be kept.

To: City Council
From: City Manager
Re: 1994
The following represents an overview of City Council legislative initiatives and related activities
for 1994. This does not include all such activity but hopefully represents a summary of major
work undertaken.
In January, the City Council conducted a public hearing on the plans and specifications
for a number of sewer projects. This project involved the reconstruction of storm sewer
and enlargement of existing sanitary sewers for several neighborhoods. This work was
done in order to alleviate sanitary sewer backups at these sites. This project involved
sewer work in the Pine, Kineton, and Sunset neighborhoods.
Carried over into 1994 were the redevelopment issues associated with the
Towncrest/Eagle grocery store project at the comer of Muscatine and First Avenue.
Following several hearings, the rezoning was approved and set into motion efforts to work
with Towncrest Mobile Home residents for relocation. This effort was somewhat unusual
in that the City, through the Department of Planning and Community Development staff,
was directly involved in addressing the rslocation needs of the citizens of the mobile home
park. Improvements to the intersection of First and Muscatine are anticipated at a later
date.
The Planning and Zoning Commisaion recommended and Council approved changes to
the City's Zoning Ordinance to allow unllcensed, but state-regulated supen/ised housing
for persons with disabilities in all residential zones. This effort had been undertaken to
provide for what was called "community supervised apartment living arrangements" by
redefining the family care facility and family home components of the Zoning Ordinance.
2
The Zoning Ordinance was amended in order to provide restrictions in the RNC-12,
Neighborhood Conservation Residential zone, to affirm a single-family residential character
in our older neighborhoods, regulated by the RNC-12 zone.
The Council conducted many discussions concerning the private application of pesticides
and other regulation of pesticides. Dudng the course of the year the state legislature
approved new laws that preempts cities from such improvements.
The City Council executed an agreement between the Iowa DOT and the City for the
Rohret Road pedestrian bridge project. The agreeme. nt provides 80% federal and 20%
City funding for a maximum of $481,000 in federal assistance. The project involved
building two free-standing pedestrian overpass bridges on Rohret Road adjacent to the
existing overpass of U.S. 218. The total project was part of the overall Rohret Road
reconstruction project ($2,100,000) with the first phase, near the new Irving Weber School,
completed in 1994. The second phase and the pedestrian bridges are to be completed
during 1995.
The City Council approved a $31,500 contract for the construction of the Riverside Drive
river corridor trail. The project consisted of construction of a six foot wide sidewalk on the
east side of Riverside Drive between Iowa Avenue and Burlington for the purpose of
providing pedestrian access. Contracts for destgn of the Iowa River corridor trail from
Burlington Street to Highway 6 were also approved,
The City Council awarded contracts for the construction and development of the new
Whispering Meadows wetland park. This was a significant new undertaking for the City
in park design. It fulfilled many requirements associated with stormwater management,
wetlands, recreational opportunities, natural resoume education, etc.
The Council approved issuance of $7.3 million in general obligation bonds. The projects
included Rohret Road ($2.1 million); a number of wastewater distribution projects which
included Westside trunk~ Pine, Kineton, Sunset Street ($795,000); wastewater EPA
compliance for design work ($1.555 million); new water treatment facility design ($1.5
million); wetland park development ($190,000); curb ramp improvements for ADA
3
compliance ($50,000); regional stormwater detention ($705;000) and $425,000 to
reimburse for the cost of the Robert A. Lee Recreation Center roof and floor renovation.
10.
A contract for $80,000 was awarded for repair and reconstruction projects at the Senior
Center. Roof and skylight work, as well as repair and restoration of extedor stonework,
brick facade and windows were in the total project cost.
11.
Numerous meetings with residents and students of the City High area were undertaken
to address concerns over parking restrictions. Changes in parking restrictions in and
around City High were approved and the School District choose to construct new parking
facilities.
12.
A contract between the City and BRW Inc. to perform an environmental assessment and
analyze altematives on the Melrose Avenue street and bridge reconstruction projects was
approved. The City was required by the Iowa DOT to conduct an environmental
assessment. The total cost of the assessment was $100,000.
13.
The City Council approved a number of employee labor contracts with a three-year
agreement with the City's police officers and a two-year contractual agreement with those
employees represented by AFSCME.
14.
A remodeling/reconstruction project at the Civic Center to increase the men's and
women's locker rooms In our Police Department was approved. A larger, more secure
evidence storage area, improved ventilation and cooling was also included. The project
cost $190,000.
15.
16.
The landfill requires daily cover as well as final cover soil. A 40 acre parcel of land near
the City landfill was available for sale. The pamel will provide soil from excavations to
satisfy long term daily cover and final cover needs. The City will not need to purchase soil
off-site at a far greater cost. It is estimated that 400,000 cubic yards of soil may be
available from this property.
An agreement with Shive-Hattery Engineers and Architects was approved to provide
andfill engineering consultant services necessary to beg~n utilizing the western portion of
4
the currently landfill site. The work would include prslimina~j cell configuration, leachate
collection and pumping facilities, new cell construction, and an upgrading of the
hydrogeologic monitoring system. The totai cost of the engineering consultant work is
$285,000.
17.
The Depaii,,ent of Parking and Transit initiated a plan several years ago for a schedule
of maintenance and repair work at the City's parking ramps. A contract was approved for
structural repair and preventative maintenance work at the Capitol Street and Dubuque
Street parking ramps. The work was done in phases in order to allow the ramps to
remain open at all times and the cost of the construction was $200,000.
18.
19.
20.
Following two years of review, updating, and reformatting, City Code of the City of Iowa
City was approved.
The City Council approved the detachment (deannexation) of 95 acres of land in
northwest Iowa City. The land and necessary utilities would be served by the City of
Coralville, The City Council approved the detachment with the approval of the property
owners and the Coralville City Council,
The Historic Preservation Commission recommended, and City Cpuncil approved,
applicafion for a number of historic preservation grants. Grants include a professional
survey and evaluation of historic resoumee in the city's older neighborhoods as identified
by the Historic Preservation Plan.
21.
The City Council approved construction of the new Maiden Lane pedestrian bridge as a
component of the Maiden Lane improvement project. The bridge, a 64' by 8' precast
concrete bridge, spans Ralston Creek between Court Street and Prentiss. The cost of the
project was $86,000.
24
The City Council appointed a Charter Review Commission in accordance with the City
Charter. The nine-member Commission will review and recommend on proposed
amendments to the charter.
23.
5
The state Department of Economic Development again awarded Iowa City a number of
emergency shelter grants in the amount of $56,000. These funds help support shelter
services at the Domestic Violence Intervention Project, Emergency Housing Project, and
Youth Homes. This represents a substantial increase over the previous year grant award.
24.
During 1994 the City was awarded supplemental CDBG funding of approximately $1.3
million from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. These monies
are to be utilized to assist families of low and moderate income who suffered through the
1993 flood.
25.
Following extensive discussions with Johnson County and with significant citizen interest,
the City chose to annex the intersection of Mormon Trek and Highway 1 in order to
provide for installation of a traffic signal. The signal and intersection improvements cost
$120,000. This intersection, originally in the County, was annexed in order to proceed
with these improvements.
26.
The Iowa City Housing Authority was awarded $900,000 in federal grant monies for the
purchase of ten three-bedroom, single-family dwelling units. This was the second such
grant. These homes will be within the corporate limits of Iowa City and is a cohttnuation
of the City's expansion of its housing assistance program and the ownership of public
housing units.
27.
The Department of Parking and Transit programmed the replacement of three transit
buses for 1994. The purchase was part of a statewide Federal Transit Administration
grant application. With grant approval of $634,000 the City awarded through competitive
bid to the Gillig Corporation. The City of Coralville participated in the bidding with the
purchase of two buses. The program provides for an 83% federal and 17% local match
for bus purchases.
28.
The Council approved the purchase of twelve new weather alert sirens and the upgrading
of five existing weather alert siren in the city. This will provide the city with the most
recent technology and offer new communication capabilities with respect to informing our
citizens of the potential for severe weather. The cost of the project was $231,000.
29.
6
The Division of Engineering designed a sidewalk and curb ramp reconstruction program
to accommodate lhe new requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The City
is set upon a policy of significant increases in the expenditures for curb ramps.
30.
In order to determine the feasibility of redevelopment of the Public Works maintenance
site, a contract with Terrecon Environmental Inc. to provide an environmental site
assessment was initiated. The site of the public works building and transit facility is on
an old landfill and, therefore, pdor to proceeding with any type of redevelopment, a detail
of environmental issues needed to be identified:
31.
32.
33.
The City and youth soccer organizations joined to cooperatively construct nine new soccer
fields on the Iowa City south wastewater treatment facility site. This involved the
regmding of land and, in conjunction with work necessary to preepare for the new
wastewater pipeline, a shared project was initiated. The total grading project cost was
$500,000 with the Iowa City Kickers providing $100,000 of their own funds to assist in this
new recreational development.
A landfill cell construction project was initiated. This new cell was designed to meet all
state and federal regulations by incorporating a liner and leachate collection system. The
cost of the new cell is $880,000,
The Human Rights Commission, after many years of work, proposed and the City Council
adopted a new Human Rights Ordinance.
34.
The City Council initiated a new student citizenship award program in 1994. This is a
program whereby the City Council, on a monthly basis, will honor students from our
elementary schools who have demonstrated their involvement in school activities as well
as their general good citizenship. The students are selected by each school and receive
the award from the City Council.
35.
The Library has continued its work in planning on an expansion and renovation project.
The building program as proposed by the Library Board has been approved and an
architect and construction management firms are being considered. In order to provide
for more detailed schematic design and complete cost estimates prior to proceeding to
7
public reierendum, the Library received a supplemental appropriation of $50,000 from the
City Council.
36.
The. City was again awarded by the Government Finance Officere Association, for the
ninth consecutive year, its highest form of recognition in government accounting. The
award is presented for the preparation of the City's annual Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report.
37.
During 1994 the Council adopted a policy whereby they would utilize stop signs in
selected residential neighborhoods in order to reduce the cut-through traffic that has often
plagued many of our residential areas. The stop sign policy was initiated in order to
experiment and determine whether, in fact, this would be a useful tool in traffic control in
residential areas.
38.
The City Council authorizod funding for repairs at the airport terminal building and United
hangar building. These repairs, upon recommendation by the Airport Commission,
amounted to $70,000 in improvements. This is early steps in the general renovation work
at the City Airport.
39.
The Council approved plans and specifications for installation of rip rap and/or vegetative
cover along the Iowa River. Areas identified were adjacent to Crandic Park, City Park,
Terrell Mill Park, Rocky Shore Drive, and North Dubuque Street and were the result of the
damage caused by the flood of 1993. The project will be substantially funded by the Soil
Conservation Service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Each city had
a small share in the total project cost but Iowa City will assume administrative responsibili-
ty for the project construction.
40.
The Council approved increases in water and wastewater rates, in order to begin
accumulation of funding to assist in financing the proposed water and wastewater projects.
Further adjustments will be necessary to finance these major improvements.

Xerox Anti-Trust Suit Settlement
Our Department of Finance, specifically the Division of Purchasing recently received $4,195 as
a result of a $225 Million dollar Xerox anti-trust lawsuit settlement.
The City Attorney's office filed a year ago, on behalf of the City, for a portion of the settlement
since our Pdnt Shop equipment met the filing guidelines. The lawsuit concerned a vadety of
Xerox practices allegedly designed to suppress competition for sales and sen/ice of Xerox high-
volume pdntere and copiers, and overcharges resulting from the alleged anti-competitive
conduct.
The settlement comes in the form of transferable certificates, not cash. The certificates can be
used for new equipment, parts and supplies purchased from Xerox.
Purchasing has funds in the FY95 budget to replace the Pdnt Shop color copier. The Xerox
Color Copier reflects the best unit of those evaluated. Pumhasing has proposed using the
~,195 settlement and Xerox will match the amount as a promotional incentive; total of $8,390
to buy the color copier. Total discounts with settlement, incentives and trade-in of current unit
equals $11,890.
Xerox 5765 copier (government contract)

Recently the color quality was demonstrated on the blue cover of the Proposed FY96 Budget

enhances report quality and complements the graphics capabilities of the Document Sen/ices
Division.

From: City Manager
Re: Machinery & Equipment Property Tax Exemption
At the time of preparation of the FY96-98 Financial Plan we were operating under the assumption
that the state would eliminate machinery and equipment property taxes by way of a ten-year
phase out and a similar declining reimbursement. We have now learned it appears that the
Governor's office will propose a six-year phase out of machinery and equipment property taxes.
We had estimated in our budget balancing a $100,000 loss in general fund revenues during the
three.year plan. If the Governor's proposal is adopted, that number will now grow to approximate-
ly $180,000 in lost revenue. The bottom line is the current budget plan could be $80,000 short.
Apparently the state will rely on anticipated taxable valuation growth in other classes of property.
to make up for losses not reimbursed. The reimbursement monies must be approved by the
legislature and is not now guaranteed.
It seems the state continues to suggest that with growth of value in other claeses of property it
will make up for any loss suffered by local governments. I simply cannot see how this can
happen without a major change in the state's property tax laws, The state's estimates of growth
will not be realized without the state legislature acting to eliminate the existing taxable value
restrictions (4% annually) and apparently no one has suggested the state legislature change this
existing law. We will simply have to wait and see,

Dear Wendy:
I was recently informed of the decision by the CVB to change a long-standing policy of
providing grants to various community agencies and other event sponsors. As I understand,
the CVB will no longer be providing direct funding to such event sponsors as the Iowa Arts
Festival, Jazz Festival, and the Johnson County Museum. This policy change on the part of
the CVB has a bearing on the operations of the City of !owe City and therefore will have
certain budget implications. I wanted to, by way of this letter, alert you early to a
recommendation I intend to make in my upcoming budget proposals. I have consulted with
Mayor Susan Horowitz to advise her of this recommendation.
Basically, I will suggest to the City Council that the 25% contribution of hotel/motel tax
revenues to the CVB be reduced to 20%, thereby making available to the City Council
$20,000 in revenues. These revenues will be specifically earmarked to assist in the funding
of the agencies to which the CVB will no longer provide grants or other direct aid.
This policy proposai will be incorporated into the 1995-96 financial plan and I would assume
will be dealt with by the Council during their budget review in January. As I am sure you can
appreciate, because the CVB's policy is not to fund these agencies, they are now turning to
the City for financial assistance. With the severe limitations on property tax and other related
revenues, I feel that the hotel/motel tax can be a means to fund these organizations as they
have in the past. While the general mission of the CVB is to promote convention and visitors'
traffic and related economic activities, grants to various agencies that cause the economic
activity which generates the hotel/motel tax would seem to be appropriate. We would
appreciate an indication of what led to the Board's new policy, and if there is the potential for
reversal.
Sincerely,
Stephen J. Atkins

Gentleperson{:
We are writing on behalf of the Council on Disability Rights and Education to express our
appreciation for several recent articles in the Chamber's monthly newsletter, REFLECTIONS,
promoting disability awareness and accessibility.
We are a new organization in Iowa City, founded for the purpose of bringing about a more
accessible community environment for all persons with disabilities through education and
awareness. As we evolve, we hope to establish an increasing visibility in Iowa City and to
effect a greater commitment to accessibility on the part of all local industries, businesses,
housing and service providers, and citizens in general. REFLECTIONS is an informative and
widely read communication which reaches many of the same individuals and organizations
that we hope to influence. Articles promoting accessibility contribute significantly to
increasing community awareness and we appreciate your efforts and consideration in that
regard.
The CDRE is willing and able to assist you in the future in identifying materials regarding
accessibility and other accommodations which facilitate the inclt.~sion of all persons with
disabilities in the mainstream of community activities. We applaud you and encourage your
continued focus on this issue as you select future materials for your publication. We hope
that you will not hesitate to call on us for any assistance we might provide.
Once again, your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Re: Summary of December 20, 1994, Meeting
The Council met on December 20, 1994, at 11:00 a.m. in the City Council Chambers at the
Civic Center. Those in attendance included: Ed Blake, Patrick Frazier, Kevin Burt, Mace
Braverman, Ethel Madison, Nancy Ostrognai, Linda Carter, Ed Brinton, Doris Jean Sheriff,
Heather Shank, John Harshfield, Dale Helling, Keith Ruff, Susan Mask, John McKinstry.
SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS
Housing - Shank summarized the subcommittee's efforts thus far in creating a booklet on
impediments to housing for persons with disabilities. Burr advised that April is Fair Housing
Month and requested the cooperation of the Public Relations subcommittee in gaining special
recognition for this event. Harshfield indicated that the subcommittee is focusing on 20
accessibility related questions which can be utilized as a checklist to evaluate accessibility of
housing units. Braverman suggested that the CDRE be represented on City committees
regarding affordable housing.
Transportation - No report.
Public Accommodations - Brinton indicated that this subcommittee is working on a checklist
for restaurants, bars, coffee shops, etc., to help them evaluate their own accessibility. They
are refining a list which has been used in the St. Louis area, adapting it [or local use.
Public Relations - A meeting will be scheduled in the near future.
MEETING SCHEDULE
The possibility of the core group reducing its meetings to one per month was discussed. This
would allow core group members more time to participate in subcommittee work. After some
discussion, it was agreed that the core group will meet on the first Tuesday of each month
at 10:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers. This should allow for meetings to be concluded prior
to the noon lunch hour. It was stressed that while these are technically meetings of the core
group, they are meant ~o be open to the public and subcommittee members, as well as other
interested persons are encouraged to attend.
OTHER BUSINESS
Burt indicated that he had received a call from a person trying to open a new business who
was having some problems with the local zoning laws regarding parking. He will provide more
detailed information to Helling.
2
Helling indicated that he continued to work on a list of all CDRE members and asked that
subcommittee chairs keep him updated on subcommittee memberships. He also indicated that
Mike Hoenig will no longer be able to serve on the core group. It was agreed that the
question of his replacement should be placed on the next agenda.
Brinton noted he had recently seen an article indicating that employers are besieged with
complaints and lawsuits by persons with disabilities. He suggested that it might be
appropriate for the Iowa City Human Rights Commission to he more involved in education in
this area. After some discussion and clarification by Shank of the function of the Human
Rights Commission, it was suggested that the Commission and the Employment subcommit*
tee of the CDRE could collaborate in their efforts to promote accessibility and nondiscrimina-
tion in employment. It was also noted that Access Iowa has material for employers regarding
equal employment opportunity, etc., and that they will work with employers if they can to
assist and will even do some mediation to help resolve differences.
The next meeting of the CDRE will be at 10:00 on January 3, 1995.

Re: Partial Litigation Update; Successful Rulings and New Cases/Appeals
While a more complete litigation update is "in the works," the press of a recent flood of new
litigation, plus some staff turnover, has caused somewhat of a delay. In any event, I present
a partial litigation update, for your information.
City of Iowa Citv, Iowa v. Hubert Yeeev, Leonard Yeaev, Wilfred Ye~¢~v, Maxine
Yee.~v and Bernard Yeq~v; State Docket #53659
Congratulations on a job well done to First Assistant City Attorney Anne Burnside in
the court's ruling favorable to tho City, see attached. This Ruling notes that Wilfred
Yeggy has "willfully" violated the injunction order which prevents him from bringing
additional salvage and junk onto the property at 828 St. Anne's Drive in Iowa-City,
Iowa.
You will note that the ruling orders Wilfred Yeggy to serve six months in the Johnson
County Jail, in addition to a ~bUO fine fgr contempt of the Court's prior injunction.
However, if Wilfred Yeggy "purges himself of this contempt," meaning removes the
junk and salvage within 60 days of December 28, 1994, Wilfred Yeggy would not
have to serve the jail time, nor pay the fine.
However, if the junk and salvage is not removed within 60 days, or February 28,
1995, the City may apply to the Court for a "mittimus" to issue -- meaning the Court
would order Wilfred Yeggy to appear in jail and pay the fine. Anne and I continue to
hope that Wilfred Yeggy will not have to serve jail time, but will instead remove the
materials from the property at issue.
Kerry Schaeffer v. Lewis Cassill and Police Officers Li131~old, Singleman and Steffen;
State Docket #39184 (small claims)
Attached please find a new lawsuit concerning removal of a person from a mobile
home park. First Assistant City Attorney Anne Burnside is defending this case, and
we hope to resolve it quickly.

We have also received a "notice of appeal" from the attorneys for Jim Glasgow, see
attached. David Brown will continue to represent the City in these condemnation
appeals - which were actually "cross-appeals" since the City has already filed "notice
of appeal" on all three of these cases.
The matters will go to District Court, and will eventually be tried to a petit or regular
jury all over again. Of course, there is always hope for settlement in these matters.
James P. Glasclow v. City of Iowa City; State Docket #56205 {Glas({ow II1!
Attached please find a Petition served on the City on a City holiday, namely Friday,
December 23, 1994, at Marian Karr's home. In this Petition, Glasgow's attorneys are
claiming, apparently, that they are entitled to the minutes of an executive session,
based on one exception to the confidentiality requirements for executive/closed
sessions - namely, that the property acquisition/transaction is complete. Interestingly
enough, in this same Petition, the attorneys attach a copy of the "Notice of Appeal"
challenging the condemnation award - which proves, on the face of the Petition, that
the Petition is frivolous.
Sarah Holecel~ and I will be vigorously defending this case, and hope to have the
matter disposed of quickly.
Series of oases with the Iowa City Rrefighter's Unton; dismissed for a "fresh start"
during upcoming negotiations.
In May, 1993 the Firefighters union filed a PERB complaint against the City for
allegedly adopting new work rules without engaging in bargaining. (PERB No. 4900).
Many of the issues raised in the complaint were included in the City and Union
negotiations for a contract to become effective June 30, 1994. The City and Union
were not able to reach agreement and they entered factfinding in February. After
factfinding, the parties remained at impasse and an arbitration hearing was held in
May, 1994. From these proceeding.s, PERB cases 5101 and 5143 and Johnson
County District Court case no. 55829 arose. On December 12, 1994, the parties met
for a hearing before PERB. Prior to hearing, the parties reached an agreement which
provided for the Union to dismiss the pending PERB and District Court cases. The
parties will include the substantive issues in the present negotiations for a new
agreement to be effective June 30, 1995. We view this approach to resolving the
discussions as much more productive than resort to litigation, and are encouraged that
the City and the union will find satisfactory solutions to their disputes in the
negotiation setting.

No. 53659
RULING
On September 15, 1994, trial was had with regard to the issue raised in the Application for
Rule to Show Cause filed June 3, 1994. Petitioner was represented by Anne Burnside.
Respondents were represented by Carla Pearson.
FACTS
On luly 28, 1992, a Court Order was filed in this case which provided: "IT IS,
ACCORDINGLY, ORDERED that a permanent injunction be, and hereby is, issued restraining
the Respondents and their successors in interest and title to the premises located at 8:28 St. Anne
Drive, Iowa City, Johnson County, Iowa, from causing or suffering any refuse, garbage, noxious
substances, hazardous waste, junk or salvage materials to be collected or to remain upon the
premises."
Leonard Yeggy was in a nursing home at time of trial.
Bernard Yeggy and Hubert Yeggy indicated at trial that they wished to have their brother,
Wilfred Yeggy, speak for them. Bernard Yeggy indicated that he has been to the property but
"doesn't do much." Hubert Yaggy indicated that he was aware of the injunction; however, he felt
it was on different property. He further indicated that there "might be some salvage there today."
During 1990, the City of Iowa City removed junk and salvage from the property.
Wilfred Yaggy has, since-th..e. time of the issuance of the permanent injunction, operated a
salvage business which uses the premises subject to the injunction.
Plaintiff's Exhibits 1, 2, 3, and 4 are photos of the property taken May 24 and 26, 1994,
showing an accumulation of junk and salvage materials collected upon the premises.
Plaintiffs Exhibits 5, 6, 7, and 8 are photographs taken September 14, 1994, showing an
accumulation of junk and salvage upon the premises. These photos depict an increase in the
amount of junk and salvage being accumulated upon the premises from the date of the earlier
photographs.
It is determined as a matter of ultimate fact that Wilfred Yeggy has willfully disobeyed the
Court Order granting injunctive relief as above set forth.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Iowa Rule of Civil Procedure 330 provides that a violation of any provision of a
permanent injunction shall constitute contempt and be punished accordingly.
qqo person may be punished for contempt'unless the finding of contempt is established by
proof beyond a reasonable doubt. (Citation omitted.)" Palmer Col. ofChiropracfic v. Dist.
Court, 412 N.W.2d 617, 619 (Iowa 1987).
"In order to justify a finding of contempt, violation of the court order or injunction must
be willful. (Citations omitted.) Willfulness is proved by 'evidence of conduct that is intentional
and deliberate with a bad or evil purpose, or wanton and in disregard of the rights of others, or
contrary to a known duty, or unauthorized, coupled with an unconcern whether the contemnor
had the right or not.'" Palmer Col.. Id.., at page 621.
Section 665.4, the Iowa Code, provides that punishment for contempt, where not
otherwise specifically provided, shall be by a fine not exceeding $500 or imprisonment in a county
jail not exceeding six months or both such fine and imprisonment if the matter is before a District
Judge.
"In the absence ofchanged circumstances not within the Court's contemplation at the time
of the original punishment order, a corot which has found that imprisonment is a proper sanction
for past acts of contempt may withhold commitment conditioned on total or unwavering
compliance with prescribed conditions. A commitment so withheld may later be imposed for
failure to meet those conditions. Where, as in the present case, the time period for performing the
conditions is so short as to negate any suggestion that the contemnoffs ability to perform has
changed from the time of the original order, a re-examination of ability to perform is not a
condition for imprisonment." Ickowitz v. District Ct. for Polk Cry.. 452 N.W.2d 446, 450 (Iowa
1990).
RULING
The Petitioner proved by evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that W'tlfred Yeggy willfully
violated the Court Order providing injunctive relief which was fried in this case July 28, 1992.
IT IS, ACCORDINGLY, ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that Wlifred
Yeggy be confined in the Johnson County 3ali for a period of six months and fined $500.
Mr. Yeggy may purge himselfof'this contempt by having removed from the property all junk and
salvage within sixty (60) days of this date. Petitioner may apply to the Cour~ for issuance of'a
mittimus if Wilfi'ed Yeggy has not complied with the pur~ing provision of this Order.
The Application is distained with regard to the other named Respondents.
The costs of this proceeding are assessed to Wilfi'ed Yeg~y.
Dated this 28th day of December, 1994.

COMES NOW, James P. Glasgow, Plaintiff herein, and put-
suant to Iowa Code Section 21.6 or the enforcement provision
of what is also known as "Iowa's Open Meetings Law," submits
as follows:
1. Plaintiff James P. Glasgow (hereinafter "Plaintiff
Glasgow") is a resident of Iowa City, Johnson County, Iowa
and a citizen of the State of Iowa.
2. Defendant City of.Iowa City (hereafter "Defendant
City") is a municipal corporation in the City of Iowa City
with its principal place of bus~ness in the same,
county, Iowa.
in J_ohns /
3. The City Council of Defendant City is a ~.-.
"governmental body" which holds "meetings" as defined_~.'.'{ ~ "~
Iowa Code Section 21.2 and is, therefore, subject to
quirements of the entire Chapter 21 of the Iowa Code.
4. On the 2nd day of August, 1994, the City Council
of Defendant city held a special meeting at 7:00 P.M.
5. At 7:07 P.M. at that special meeting, council mem-
bets voted to adjourn to an executive session to hold a
-2-
closed meeting as is evidenced by attached Exhibit "A" in-
corporated by reference herein.
· 6. The alleged grounds for said closed meeting were
"to discuss strategy with counsel in matters that are
presently in litigation or where litigation is imminent
where its disclosure would be likely to prejudice or dis__ad- ~_
vantage the position of the governmental body in that 1.~.-
gation." see xhibit "A". She City Council, therefore?
held a closed session pursuant to Iowa Code Section .~u~-
7. Following this closed session meeting, the Council
of Defendant City enacted Resolution Number 94-272 which au-
thorized Defendant City to purchase land for the ostensible
purpose of a water treatment facility and "other multiple
shared uses," as is evidenced by the attached copy of said
Resolution, marked Exhibit "B," and incorporated by refer-
ence herein.
8. A ~ormal .request was made on November 23, 1994, to
the City Clerk of Defendant City, Marian Kerr, for the min-
utes, tapes, notes, and other tangible things resulting from
said closed session. Please see attached copy of said cor-
respondence, marked Exhibit "C" incorporated herein by ref-
erence.
9. Defendant City refused to produce said minutes,
tapes, notes, an~ other things. Please see attached copy of
letter of December 6, 1994 by Marian Kerr, marked as Exhibit
"D" and inco~po~ated herein by reference.
-3-
COUNT
~ ~'.LE~, HEET~'NG
10. Plaintiff Glasgow herein incorporates by reference
above paragraphs i through 9.
11. The City Council of Defendant City held a closed
meeting illegally, that is, in violation of Chapter 21 of
the Iowa Code, in that:
as
a) The alleged grounds of discussing litigation,
allowed by Iowa Code Section 21.5(1)(c) was a pre-
text;
b) The true purpose of this closed meeting was
to discuss the purchase of property as is evidenced by
Exhibit "B";
c) The City Council of Defendant City failed to
disclose this true purpose because Iowa law only per-
mits the Council to meet in closed session to discuss
the purchase of real estate:
...~here premature disclosure [of the
purchase of a particular real estate]
could be reasonably expected to increase
the price the goverrunental body would
have to pay for that property.
Pleame see Iowa Code Section 21.5(1)(j). Because De-
fendant City had disclosed to the public its intention
to purchase the property selected By Howard R. Greene
months before the meeting of August 2, 1994, it could
not meet the above cited condition and therefore could
not avail itself of these grounds for a
despite the fact that this was the true purpose.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Glasgow requests that this
compel Defendant City to produce the requested minutes,
tapes, notes and other things resulting from the illegal
closed meeting on A~gust 2, 1994 and take whatever other ac-
tion this Court deems appropriate and equitable under law.
COUNT II
ILLEGAL WITHHOLDING
Plaintiff incorporates herein paragraphs i through
12.
11 herein by reference.
13. Defendant City therefore also illegally withheld
minutes, notes, tapes, and other things of said illegal
meeting.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Glasgow requests that this Court
compel Defendant City to produce the requested minutes,
tapes, notes and other things resulting from the illegal
closed meeting on August 2, 1994 and take whatever other ac-
tion this Court deems appropriate and equitable under law.
OTHER ILLEGAL MEETINGS
14. Plaintiff incorporates herein by reference above
paragraphs i through 13.
15. In addition to the above referenced special meet-
ing, Defendant City has held other closed meetings concern-
ing the purchase of property for t/~e acquisition of land, on
the following dates: September 13, 1993~ January. 3, 1994~
March 81 1994~ April 25, 1994~ July 11, 1994~
/
and July 18,
1994.
16. Pursuant to Iowa Code Section 21.5, the minutes
from these closed sessions should now be made available to
the public. as the information contained therein can no
longer reasonably be expected to increase the price of the
properties concerned.
WHEREFORE, in addition to Counts I and II, Plaintiff
further requests that this Court order that the minutes,
tapes, and other tangible things resulting from these ~ddi-
tional closed sessions be made available immediately to the
public and that this Cou~ order such other equitable relief
as this Cou~t deems necessary.

This section is not applicable here because the City's counsel,
Linda Woito was excluded from these discussions.

City of Iowa Cit~ has disclosed its intention to purchase the
Glasgow - Washington Park property many times in public, and, be-
cause the owners were sent condemnation papers last week, there
is no risk of premature disclosure here and this section cannot
obtain.

Use of Chapter 419, Code of
Iowa "Conduit Financing~
I was recently asked a number of questions about the water plant project and City financing.
Specifically, the question came up as to whether Section 419.14, Code of iowa (1993)
prevented the City from using the proceeds from Chapter 419 funds to condemn property.
I spoke with Bill Noth, our bond counsel in Des Moines, Iowa, and he explained the use of
Chapter 419, Code. This state law is entitled 'municipal support of projects," and is known as
'conduit financing" -- meaning that a city sells bonds, enters into a loan agreement with an
organization (usually a not-for-profit project such as a hospital), loans the money to the not-for-
profit project, and the funds must then later be repaid to the city by the terms of the loan
agreement. By way of explanation, Chapter 419 "conduit financing" previously was referred to
as"industrial revenue bonds."
In other words, Chapter 419, Code of iowa has no application whatsoever "to city utility
enterprise rates or funding," which is the water plant as well as the water treatment
connection project. Rather, Chapter 384, Code of Iowa governs the City's Increase of
their City utility rates, as well as the issue of general obligation bends.
This question may come up at the next City Council meeting, and I wanted the City Council to
have an answer to the question by way of our bond counsel experts in the Ahlers Law Firm in
Des Moines, Iowa. I trust this information will be helpful to you, but you may contact me or one
of my Assistants if you have any questions.

Re: Tree preservation
At a recent Council meeting, Councilor Kubby asked where the preservation of significant
individual .trees and review of the existing tree regulations were on the Urban Planning DIvision's
work program. I responded that these items were not on the work pingrein and it was my
understanding that the sensitive areas overlay ordinance was to preclude considerallon of specific
tree preservation ordinances. At the work session on January 2, I would appreciate clarification
of the Council's wishes regarding this issue.
The final report on the Heritage Tree Program is included in your packet as a refresher. There
was some question during the discussion of Councilor Kubby's question of whether the Heritage
Tree Program would fulfill the goal of preservation of individual trees. Please direct your attention
to page 2 of the report, # 1 under Outcomes. The Program to date has been one of identification
of trees and education about trees. It does not appear that the Program will provide any
assurance that trees will be saved. It does provide a database in certain neighborhoods for
preservation, maintenance, and replanting of trees on a voluntary or regulatory basis, depending
upon the Council's initiative.

~Z~AL RBI:'OR~
Beptember 28, 1994
The Heritage Tree ProTram of Iowa City has completed a 100%
inventory of trees on public lands in ~hree of the city's oldest
ne~g.~,orhoods -- Goosetown, Longfellow, and No..r~hs. ide, and in the
ci=y owned cemetery, Oakland Cemetery. In add~tion, two other
reas not originally included in the grant-application were
nv~pt°r£~d 77 ~lu? Grove (home.of Iowa's first governor) and
oo~law~ (a n~s=orlcal resident~al area).
Pro~ossl In our grant application, we indicated .~hat there were
~hree phases for the Heritage Tree Program -- design of the
inventory, conduct of the inventory, and development of a master
plan. By completing the inventory by the contract conclusion
date, we are exactly on target. This
is a summary of our work:
Desian of the pro~ect. January - March 1994. Kate
Klaus, a design professional, consulted with the
professional arborist, Leon Lyvers, and the City
Forester, Terry Robinson to design the inventory. She
used city plat maps to devise data collection
instruments and to oreate packets for block sections in
each of the four target areas. (Only t~ees between the
sidewalk end the street or especially notable trees on
private property were to be recorded.) Trained citizen
volunteers used the packe~s to record data about each
tree in their assigned areas. Detailed instructions
were included with the da~a sheets, as were pencils, a
tape measure, a badge which identified the volunteer as
part of the program, and a tree identification book. A
sample of the packet, for the Longfellow neighborhood,
(with completed inventory forms) is included with this
repo.rt.
Trainin~ of volunteers. March - April 1994. Botany
Professor Jeff Schabilion, a member of the Longfellow
neighborhood, worked with Kate Klaus to design and
conduct three training programs (one in each
neighborhood) for volunteers. Dr. Schabilion taught
attendees how to identify tree species by using the
book provided. ~rs. Klaus taught volunteers how to use
the data sheets.
Coordination of the. inventorF. April - August 1994. A
coordinator for each of the four target areas was
named. Coordinators distributed the assigned packets
to pairs of volunteers in their area. They also seL-~ed
as contact persons for questions and finished the
inventory in areas which volunteers were unable to
complete. Coordinators were responsible to collect
packets from the volunteers and return them to Mrs.
Klaus·
Conductins the inventory. May - August 1994.
Volunteers completed the inventory of trees in a tptal
of 159 block sections. Coordinators collected the
packets, and rock,hem to Mrs. Klaus, who checked to
see ~hat they were complete. Mrs. Klaus then got the
data sheets in proper form for the professional
arborist, Leon Lyvers. Mr. Lyvers, working with
volunteers, astessed and recorded the health and
maintenance needs of each tree noted on the data
sheets. In all, approximately 5500 trees were
inventcried.
Data entrY. August - November 1994. The project
received a database computer program from Iowa State
University Extension Service which was modified for our
use. The painstaking process of entering the data for
each of the approximately 5500 (est.) trees logged --
location, species, circumference, interference with
buildings or wires, and health and maintenance
information -- is on-going. The data entry is
continuing for the other five areas and is expected to
be completed by the end of the calendar year. As of
the date of this report, the Oakland Cemetery data has
been entered, and a sample of the printout from Oakland
is provided with this repoz~c. The program will be
modified to print out the data in the most forms for
our purposes -- master planning for maintenance and
planning, and educational efforts.
The Heritage Tree Project was enormously successful in
Some of these
Ou, toomeso
ways far beyond its initial expectations.
accomplishmerits are:
1. Springboard for future.urba~ forest activities. The
data which we have, and which w~11 be further processed by
the software program, form an excellent basis for future
work on the urban forest. The City Forester can use the
data to plan maintenance, removal, and planting of some of
~he oldest trees in the city limits. Heritage Trees of Iowa
City will use the inventory as it embarks on the third phase
indicated in the grant application -- creating a master plan
for future tree plantings in the four target areas, using
neighborhood advisory groups to devise the plan and to
identify private and public funds to purchase replacement
stock. We will also use the inventory as the basis for
educational activities (see below).
2. Private sumport. The inventory could not have been
completed without the interest and dedication of many Iowa
Citians. In all, approximately 135 volunteers worked on the
project, putting in a total of 2088.25 volunteer hours.
Citizen volunteers logged hours by attending the training
sessions and by walking the neighborhoods and recording tree
data. Substantial professional hours were also volunteered
-- 616 hours contributed by Kate Klaus in designing the
project; 50 hours by Nancy Seiberling in community
organizing; 89.25 hours by arborist Leon Lyvers, shove and
beyond his time paid under the grant; 200 hours (estimate)
by Anne Burnside for data entry; and 31 hours by botanist
Jeff Schabilion; 30 hours for administration by Beth Gauger,
and 15 hours for grant administration by Linda McGuire. In
all, we estimate that the value of volunteer services
totaled $32,440.
3. P~blic awareness and education. The dedication and
enthusiasm of the volunteers was one of the most hear~ening
outcomes of the project. The volunteers were literally put
in touch with the urban forest through their close
examination of each tree, "hugging" the tree by measuring
its circumference, and noting its "vitals" on the data
sheet. We heard many positive comments from the volunteers,
such as "Now I can't go by a big tree in to~ without
looking at it with a new awareness and appreciation." We
are excited that we have created a core of citizens for
future community forestry projects, such as a program for
persons to donate a "tree" as a memorial for loved ones, or
a "tree walk" which encompasses some of the oldest or most
unique or beautiful specimens.
Finances. The attached budget form indicates the cash
expenditures and matching in-kind contributions. A second sheet
gives explanation for each of the line items. Since we had never
before conducted such a project, we underestimated some line
items and overestimated on others. The resource shortfall of
$569.15 will be covered by sources of funds other than this
grant.

DATE: December 29, 1994
RE: Greenview Manufactured Housing Park
At your informal meeting, on December 19, 1994 several issues were raised r~arding the
proposed Greenview MHP. Below is additional information which we hope will clarify some of
the issues.
1. HUD's Income Terminology
HUD is now classifying any household under 80 percent of median income as low income and
potentially eligible for some assistance. Within this low income classification are several
subcategories. For your information, an income table showing income levels and terminology is
attached. The information presented in this table is calculated for the City of Iowa City on an
annual basis by HUD, and annual adjustments are generally made in May or June.
2. Iowa Cily's Financial Support otHousi~lg Affordable to Low Income Residents
The City of Iowa City has supported affordable housing programs for many years, often through
HUD funding such as the Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnership,
and Public Housing and Section 8 programs. In response to your question on how much oftbase
funds are directed to extremely low (30% median or less) and very low households (50% median
or less) we have put together some general information regarding this distribution by income
category.
The following is a rough estimate of the funds expended from 1990-1994. (The total number
of units and funds expended in items a~ h, and i are aggregated for this five-year perioa[)
Renters by Type of Assistance ~
a. Housing Acquisition 16 units
b. Rental Units: New Construction48 units
c. Rental Rehabilitation 18 units
d. Section 8 Housing Assistance4175 units
e. Section 8 New Units 63 units

Extremely LOw and Very Low $ 180,000
Extremely Low and Very Low $ 180,000

$24,215,000'
* Please note that these figures do not include assistance to the emergency shelters and housing
for spedal needs populations, most of whom are extremely low income persons.
3. Comparison of Density at Greenview MHP and Ben Aire MI-1P
As discussed at your meeting, the conditions placed upon this project by the Planning and Zoning
Commission requires that the Greenview MI-IP be developed at a density no greater than RS-5,
which is the predominate single-family zone in Iowa City. By comparison the density of Ben Aire
MI-IP with 416 units on approximately 55 acres is 7.56 units per acre, an RS-8 density.
4. Number of Lots at Fair Market Rent
The current proposal requires 116 pads to be reserved for households residing in the floodplain
and/or low income households. This number was initially arrived at during the formulation of the
llYP and had to do with our expected funding souroes. Also, to have a mixed income housing
project it is important to have a range of incomes and not to focus too heavily on the very low
income groups. For example, the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program funded by
the federal government uses two income tests (20X50 and 40\60). These two tests are for the
number of units that must be occupied by low income households. The 20~50 test requires that 20
percent of the total number of units must be occupied by households whose incomes are under 50
percent of median and the remainder of the units may be occupied by households of any income.
The LIHT¢ program is set up like this to encourage mixed income affordable housing
developments. With the Greenview MHP proposal we are seeking a target of lower incomes at a
rate of approximately one-third. (i.e. a level near the middle of the LIHTC requkaments.) The
other two-thirds of the pads would be open for rent to any household regardless of their income
level. Bob Wolfs income figures for Modem Manor show a likely range of incomes between 50
percent and 100 percent of median income. This mix of incomes should make this development
very comparable to manufactured housing parks like Modem Manor.
5. Targeting LowerIncome Groups and Rental Units
As discussed on December 19, there was some interest by Council in l, aving a few rental units
within Greenview MI-IP and targeting the 116 lots to households with incomes lower than 80
percent median. We have talked with Mr. Wolf and he can commit to having six rental units at
this time. Providing this type of rental housing requires a substantial up front cost for the
purchase of the units. There is a possibility that more rental units could be incorporated into this
development, however, Mr. Wolf is still working out the eeono~c feasibility of this type of rental
housing. Targeting very low income households for this deveinpment is possible; however,
targeting a very low income population may skew the mixed income nature of this project. We
would recommend that ifs change in the target population is to be made that the new target
population be h6useholds below 65 percent of median income.
6. Cost Breakdowrt ofthe Public Contribution to the Greenview MI-IP Project
The following is a listing of the estimated costs involved with the capital projects discussed at the
December 19 work session. The far fight column ( in italics) includes those items which staff
feels are needed for the Greenview MI-IP project to proceed.

Total $2,782,500 $1,490,000
As development occurs along south Sycamore Street, a portion of the capital improvement
expenses shown for this project will be recovered.
7. What Benefits the City Receives in Returu
The City, as a partner, will be receiving many benefits from the Greenview MHP project. For our
investment the public receives the following: 1) 116 relocation sites for households living in the
floodplain and\or low income households; 2) affordable housing opportunities for approximately
350 households; 3) an estimated $1,420,000' return on investment; and 4) extension of Sycamore
Street to the Wastewater Treatment Plant Site\Soccer fields.

and the proposed market rent over time, multiplied by 116 lots.]

Dear Ms. Klingaman:
Recieved your letter dated November 14,1994 informing
us of the plan to install a pattern of traffic stop signs in
this neighborhood. It amazes me that anyone would sign their
name to such a frivolous epistle.
The problem is being attacked at the wrong location.
The problem is the traffic control signal at First Ave. and
Muscatine Ave. It could be set to move traffic faster.Allow
right turns on red,allow left turns on green and have the
lights change from yellow one way to green the other way
without all the lights going to red and hesitating. Also
have opposite lights go green even if traffic is sensed in
only direction. This traffic light is so frustrating that I
will use it only if I have to travel east on Muscatine Av.
Since the stop signs have been installed I find I can
cut-through both north or south to First Ave.with only one
additional stop signs,but all the other intersections are
protecting me with stop signs. If anything,it is easier than
slowing at each intersection to check for cross traffic.
There is no doubt in my mind that this system will
increase alley traffic. It's not hard to figure out that a
shot through an alley will bypass a stop sign.We have always
had some cut through traffic in our alley. I'm sure this will
increase,I would rather have it in the streets.
Your "traffic engineers" have lost sight o~ the fact
that their job is to provide a means to move traffic,not
restrict it.There are nunerous other intersections in this
City of Iowa City which need attention,such as a stop sign
at a "T" intersection where a right or left turn is always
clear because of other traffic controls.
It comes down to the fact that the less time in which
each trip can be completed,the less traffic is on the
streets at any given time,the less traffic,the easier it
flows. Let the public choose the best route,they know better
than someone in a planning office. If your plan would work as
you desire,the First Ave.-Muscatine Ave. intersection would
force drivers back to "cut-

RE: Northside ncighborhoed traffic control
Dear Ms. Klingaman:
I have received your letter or November [4th outlining the (apparently) Council-approved traffic control
experiment for the Northside neighborhood. If [ understand your letter correctIx'. the purpose of ~ is to
discourage "cut-through traffic" in the neighborhood. although it is not spelled ~ut exactly which streets
motorist~ are to be discouraged from using (and v, hich streets to use instead-presumably ~he rimjot streets).
Looking at the map. [ see both good and bad ideas. but nothing that seems to be relevant to the apparent
purpose. NormalIs', low-volume intersections in residential ureas are best left uncontrolled. Given the high
residential turnover in the south,vest part of this neighborhood. however. some of the new stop signs at 4.leg
intersections are probably worthwhile. But a stop sign on the terminating street at "T" intorseetious? It
should be clear enough who has to yield the fight-of. way. Is them an accident problem at these locations?
I also do not understand w~, Gilbert Street traffic is now proposed to yield to Fairchild. Gilbert is a major
street, so this would contradict the apparent propose o£ discouraging motorists £rom using the'local struts.
{Again. is there allother pmb10m at this location not stated in your letter?) Given the higher traffic volume on
Gilbert. this change could lead either to widespread non-coml~liance with the signs, or increased noise and air
pollution from more braking and accelerating. {I suspect a combination ofboth will occur. which could create
a safety hazard due to the differences in travel speeds Created.)
I generally rail to se~ how re-arranging stop signs ~,ill have the desired impact on driver behavior. It might bc
more effective {albeit more expensive) to install street divertors, add speed humps (ns opposed to the
"bumps" on many commercial driveways), or even planting trees at curbside to give the impression of a
.'.'narrower" street. But traffic signs aren't ~e. either. Basides the installation (with flashing lights to get
'l~eople's attention that there is a change). the city will have to adequately maintain them or face potential
liability problems. That's why it's often better to not fix things that may not really be broken. I would be
intorestcd in receiving a copy of the comments and data collection referred to in your letter next May.

Dear Ms. Klingaman:
Thank you for your letter of November 14, 1994. Our family supports these
plans and hopes they will be made permanent.
I would like to draw your attention to additional problems on North Gilbert
Street near the 900 block. As you may know this area is zoned single family
and houses many children.
Hig~ speed traffic taking.a "short cut" around Dubuque and the very steep
graae poses a aangerous situation for residents as well as motorists. In
the ten months we have lived here we have seen numerous accidents at the
corner of Gilbert and Kimball as well as at the steepest part of the grade.
Icy conditions in the winter and high traffic during the school year
compound this situation. I am very concerned that a serious head on
is inevitable.
I would appreciate the city studyinq possible solutions for this problem.
It appears to me that Dubuque wa~ d~slgned to take traffic from the
interstate into the downtown area and that a single family area should not

Greetings,
I am writing concerning the recent installation of several stop signs in the Longfellow/Creekside area. I
am generally pleased about having these signs in the neighborhood. I have only been a resident of this
area for a little over one year, but even as I was moving my belongings from another part of town, it
became quickly apparent that many of these intersections were quite dangerous. Residents or others
who used neighborhood streets generally failed to slow down when approaching these unmarked
intersections. I had several close calls, both in my vehicle and on my bicycle. This was particularly true
for the intersection of Seventh and F Street/Jackson Avenue. It seemed that traffic on F/Jacksen took
little notice of either Seventh Avenue or the street change.
~,\~ I wonder, however, about the placement of a few of the new signs. First, a sign was placed on the west
side of G Street at Sixth Avenue. G Street is blocked by the'creek between Sixth and Seventh, so the sign
effectively applies to only one residence (maybe two depending on ff they park on G rather than Sixth).
Placement of a sign at this location does not relate to the purpose of reducing cut-though traffic and,
therefore, seems to be an inefficient use of funds.
Second, though it is in keeping with the overall pattern, I wonder about the placement of two stop signs
on F Street at Fifth Avenue. Since Fifth ends at F, it would seem more logical to place one sign on Fifth,
rather than two on P. I suspect that there is a fair amount of cut-through traffic on F (see above) and
removal of these signs would provide a three-block distance with no stops. Even so, the new stop signs
at Seventh should slow traffic down. In addition, since this portion of F Street is part of the Seventh
Avenue bus route it may unnecessarily slow down the buses. (On the other hand, the bus on that route
usually stops on Friendship for several minutes, so it may be able to afford the extra time.)
While my comments refer to two specific intersections, a quick look at the map you sent shows. there to
be several other intersections where similar concerns apply. In removing such signs the City might save
the cost of a half-dozen or more signs.
Sincerely,
1715 G Street

Update on Outdoor Billboard Advertising Promoting Recycling
I met with Bruce Ragan of the Ragan Outdoor Advertising Co. to discuss free outdoor billboard
advertising for recycling. Ragan has agreed to donate billboard space for promoting recycling
when he has unused space available, similar to what he does for nonprofit organizations.
However, we will need to pay the printing cost of the billboard ads. Ragan estimated wewill
need five postere per year, based on the average free space available each year.
Ragan recommended a three color poster for small billboards: Each would cost approximately
$175 to print. Each poster can be used only once and would be guaranteed to be displayed
for at least one month. Five posters would give us at least five months of advertising if space
is available. Ragan will do hand painted overlays on the posters for advertising specific event
dates.
The total cost for five small billboard posters will be approximately $875. I have received
approval from the iowa City City Manager for funding this program with landfill funds. I will be
working with Ragan Outdoor Advertising to produce the posters. Let me know at the January
Board meeting if you have any suggestions on particular areas to be emphasized on the
posters.
Thanks.

Police Pursuit
December 16, 1994
Police pursuits are covered by a Department General Order which provides
guidelines for officers. The General Order states the Departments' position as:
Law violators shall be apprehended whenever it is feasible under existing
conditions. An officer should, however, terminate his/her involvement in
pursuit whenever the risks to his/her own safety, or the safety of others,
outweigh the danger to the community if the suspect is not apprehended.
Pursuits should not normally be continued through areas of heavy
traffic congestion, in residential areas, through school zones, or in
other situations where there exists a high expectation of injury or
death.
2. Officers shall weigh' the seriousness of the violator's suspected Crime
against the potential for death or injury and the duration and overall
distance that may be traveled if the pursuit continues.
The order outlines the officers responsibilities in the following language:
Pursuit driving is one of the most dangerous tasks police officers are asked
to perform. Death or permanent injury to police officers or citizens can result
without warning. The seriousness of the possible outcome of pursuit
commands a police officer to weigh many factors when deciding whether or
not to chase in the name of the citizens he is serving. Some of the specific
questions officers must ask themselves when deciding whether or not to
pursue include:
1. Does the seriousness of the crime warrant a chase at unsafe speeds?
.... 2. What is the possibility of apprehension? '
· Supervisors should intervene and correct any incorrect assignment or misuse
of police personnel involved in a pursuit.
The Watch Commander will assure that sufficient patrol strength is
maintained within the City for routine service calls.
The order also advises of limitations which follow the Code of Iowa Chapter 321,
Section 231,
The order also outlines Procedures for the officer to follow during a pursuit. The
procedures are as listed:
· Pursuits should be initiated only when a law violator clearly exhibits the
intention of avoiding arrest by using a vehicle to flee.
· Communications shall be advised at all times of the progress of the pursuit
by the pursuing vehicle.
1. Location
2. Direction of travel
3. Pursuit speed
4. Description of vehicle and occupants (if possible)
5. License number (if possible)
6. Nature of offense (Most serious crime for which occupants are wanted)
7. Any additional information available
Officers, when approaching an intersection where signal lights or stop signs
control the flow of traffic, shall:
1. Decelerate and be prepared to apply brakes.
2. Enter the intersection only when it appears to be safe and at a
reduced speed.
3. Resume pursuit speed only when safe. When using emergency lights
and siren, the officer is requesting the right-of-way and DOES NOT
have the absolute right to disregard a red traffic light or stop sign.

Airport Master Plan Update
We have received the preapplieation for a Master Plan Update and it is receiving
favorable consideration for an Airport Improvement Program Grant in FY-95. Until
Congressional release occurs, however, a grant will not be offered and, therefore, we
recommend that public release of this information wait for congressional release of the
pending grant offer. The scope of services and contract for the Master Plan have been
reviewed and am acceptable, but the contract should not be executed until after the grant
offer is signed and approved by our office and by the City of Iowa City.
The formulation of this project must be carried forward with diligence so that a Grant
Agreement may be executed and the project commenced at the earliest feasible time. In
order to get this accomplished we suggest that the City submit an original and three
copies of the Project Application by January 23, 1995.
If in the lXOe, e~ it becom~ app.a,-'ent that die 'above date cannot be met, please advise
me in writing. Failure to meet the above date could result in our withdrawal of a
recommendation for funding.
A copy of this letter is being furnished to the Air & Transit Division, Iowa Department
of Transportation, for their information.

Dear Friends of the UN:
UN at 50: Preferred Futures for the United Nations, will be a
Midwest transnational symposium to be held at The University of
Iowa April 12-14, 1995.
The program will explore how the United Nations can meet the
challenges of militarism, human rights, poverty and the global
environment in the 21st Century and how individuals can be
involved in this process. This will be an unprecedented
opportunity to explore complex global issues that challenge the
world in which we and our children must live.
International, national and midwestern presenters, participatory
working sessions, a UN50 Reception at The University of Iowa
Museum of Art, and a program featuring Central Africa
Musicians, the Drummers of Burundi, at The UI Hahchef
Auditorium for the Performing Arts, will all be a part of UNat 50:
tYeferred Futures for the United Nations.
We would welcome your participation and encourage your
involvement in this unique educational program which will
particularly emphasize vision and change for the United Nations
between 1995 and the Year 2010.
If your organization or institution would like to cosponsor this
event, please so indicate on the enclosed sponsorship form. Your
organization/institution will be listed on the program brochurc.
[n order to include your name on the printed brochure scheduled
to be mailed in February, we ask that you reply to this request no
later than january 5, 1995. Sponsorships received after that date
will be acka~owledged in the printed program to be distributed at
the April symposium.
For the last 50 years, the United Nations has been working to
prevent conflict, promote human rights, economic and social
development, and preserve the enviromnent. The Fiftieth
Anniversary is, therefore, a time not only for reflection on the
achievements and difficult lessons of the past, but also for
charting a course for the United Nations in today's post-Cold War
world of profound historic changes. Your visible support of this
program will be welcomed and appreciated.

Innovation in managlng wastewater is
at a standstill in the U.S.--as a d/tea
remit of our en~ronmental la~s.
That somewhat outrageous thought
cannot be proven, but it can certainly be
examined, and it is urgent that we do so.
Some time this year, before or after the
presidential election, Congress is ex-
pected to consider changes in the Clean
Water Act, the law governing wastewater
management policy in the United States.
If the law needs fixing, the time to move
is now.
In all its various incarnations since its
first p~.age in 197'2, the Clean Water
Act has relied on what economists call
"command-and-control" ragxflation. In
such laws, the rag~lator-4n this case, the
federal government--sets spedtic star,-
dards, then forces the discharger to oh.
serve them by threat of fines. court
orders, or criminal prosecution.
In their simplest and most enforceable
fo~e form the Clean Water Act
takes~these laws are technology-based.
Standards are derived fi'om whatever the
state of the err can deliver. All comers
must meet that explicit standard, which
is known to be feasible.
The scheme is attractively suaighffor-
ward. Because the same standard applies
to all, it seems fair. Enforcers know pre-
cisely what to enforce, and indusuies and
municipalities know precisely what they
need to do. Because of this clarity, corm
mand-and<ontrol legislation gives results

new technology,
very fast--as it has with the Clean Water
Act. Twenty years and tens of billions of
dollars after its passage, dramatic irm
psovement shows in the nation's water.
The difficulty is that in the fi~ngrange,
technol~ laws have a subtle but
disastrous impact on the technology it-
self:. They impede progress, because they
reduce both rapply and demand for new
and improved methods. They stall tech-
nology wherever it was at the time the
law was passed.
Consider the generic case of technol-
ogy.based command-and-control, from
the demand side. You own a factor; a
standard has been sot, and you must
meet it. Obviously, you are likely to buy
whatever the regulators had in mind
when they set the standards, because
even if you find something better and
cheaper, you have to pout it meets the
standard--a difficult tasL Even the best
bureaucracy gets committed to whatever
it worked out so laboriously.
Suppose you even have an idea for
something that will make your factory far
su~0ass the standard, pethal~ emitting no
pollutant whatsoever. Still, you are not
likely to pursue it_ The law sets a single
stanclzad; factory owners have no incerr
five to do better.
Or look at it from the rapply side, sup-
posing you are an inventor. Your only
customer, in effect, is the federal bureau-
cr'acy, which has its own agenda. And if
the bureaucracy does accept )'our new
technology, and bases a new standard on
it, you're worse off yet The process goes
into the public domain, open to all, and
your profit evaporates.
In a technology-hazed system, then, it
is hard to imagine how significant inno-
vation can realistically occur. The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency {EPA)
attempts to promote new work, but it is
working within a system that encourages
only diddling improvements on existing

brought about a stalemate in water qual-
it)' control. Firms in Japan and France
are finding dramatic advances in treating
waste. Yet in the U.S., cities and factories
are stir essengaily using--are st///requ/zcd
to gM--th~ technology of the earl}, 1970s.
A second major problem with tech-
· nology-based comrnand-and.¢ontrol
regulation is, paradoxically, a defect of its
greatest virtue: that 'fair," dear, enforce-
able, uniform standard.
The fact is that water quality problems
are anything but uniform, so the match is
Joh., Hop~i,~ ~e · J~e 1~2
poor between any given technology and
the range of problems. For example, de-
gradable organic matter depletes dis-
solved ox~en, a major concern in
riven, but rarely a problem in the
ocean. Phosphorus boosts ~he growth of
algae in lakes, but excess nitrogen is
more likely to do so in estuaries. By ap-
plying the same standards for ever/case,
we do too litde in many areas. Yet else-
where these uniform regulations force
Ollefou~ and unnecessary expense.
It is as if we were to require every
household to prepare every meal for four
people, regardies~ of how many people
live there. Some households would be
spending a lot and throwing food away,
while in others people would be stan4ng.
This problem is inherent in the nature of
uniform standards. It does not matter
precisely what the standards are:/fthey
are standard, implementing them will
lead to overcontrol in some cases,
undercontrol in others.
Partly as a ~sult of undercontrul,
many believe that U.S, vrater quality
problems are not being solved, or not
solved fast enough. The San D/~o D/bane
(December 10, 19[}0) reports "long-term
damage" from 285 million gallons per
day of treated sewage discharged over a
100~nile stretch of Southern California
coastline, Shella,h beds have been dosed
due to bacterial contamination, while
swimmen routinely complain o£ earaches
and rashes. Similarly, the Washin~o~ Po~t
(December 29, 1991) has described a
five-year study concluding that parts of
Florida's cond reef are dying at the rate
of 10 percent each year. Among other
causes, the study cites agricultural runoff
and pollution from wasreciter treatment
plants, as well as land use changes near
the coast. In the Chesapeake Bay and
other estuaries, even as governments
struggle to reverse the trend, aquatic veg-
etadon is disappearing, and the numbers
of fish and shellfish continue to drop.
Undercontrol can be rectified by addi-
dunal, quality.based restrictions, forcing
polluters to meet higher standards in the
~roubled areas. Undercontrol, given ex*
isring legislation, can be fixed. Overcon.
trol, however, cannot. Even where it is
known that the law requires more than is
needed, technology-based command-
and-control ragxdadons offer no way to
make exceptions. This drives up costs.
Wastewater management is, of course,
cosfly. In 1987, water pollution control
costs for the nation were estimated by
the EPA at $49 billion annually; they are
expected to increase to more than $82
billion in the year 2000 (both figures
stated in 1992 dollars). These costs are
now appearing at the consumer level.
The National Gonsumer Law Center, a
Boston nonprofit advocacy group, re-
ports that Boston water and sewer bi~
have risen 39 percent in two years as the
costs of cleaulng up Boston Harbor be-
gin to be phased in. Now averaging $500
per family per year, water bills in Boston
are expected to climb to $1,600 per year
by the year '2000. Already, water shutoffs
for nonpayment have tripled in the city,
to about 1,200 in 1091. SO the billions
spent on control--and overcontrol---are
adding to the woe~ of U.S. cities.
These high costs, in turn, are danger-
ons to the environment, because they
damage the political will-to-do. Any
elected offi~ can allow costs to run
only so high.
Not only are coastal ecns}~toms often
more fa'agile than inland ones, but
more people live there. Some data
from the National Oceanic and Atmo-
spheric Admint.~aation:
· People in U.S. coas~l areas: 110
ion, or 45 percent of the tu~
· Commercial and industrial wastes
released inw coastal v~rs: ~.2 billion
· Tx~aent of those waste: Vatlea
from ex~emely sophi~cated to none
(nonpoint pollution--see p. 45)
· Major f~od speciea that live or
breed in estuaries: ~almon, shad,
crabs, o~.~ters, clams
· Economic value of e~tuarine<le-
pendent fisheries in 1989 (excluding
Alaska): $2 billion
· Total annual value of coastal re-
lated industries (commercial, recre-
ational fi~hing, tourism, etc.): $40
billion --.~B
Finally, technology-based regulation
has the defect of focusing attention on
"the end of the pipe.' Both discharger
and regulator work on treating the vraste,
given that the ~raste exists; they do not
think about putting less waste into the
pipe. Yet in the case ofindnstrlal wastes,
great gains might be made by changing
products, raw materials, or processes so
as to generate less waste to begin with.
The EPA strenuously promotes these
changes, but the law prmides no incen-
tive, and so litfie happens.
Eliminating waste might be cheaper
than ~eatment. and failure to do so may
well be the wont defect of technology.
based regulation. We are increasing the
total pollutants our grandchildren's chil-
dren must manage, or fail to manage, in
their water,
M,y contention, then, is that technol-
agy.hased, uniform raguhfion has
taken us as Par as it can. In 1972, it was a
speedy and effective way to approach a
genuine crisis. To persiJt in this ap-
proach now, however, can only mean
ever-morocnstiy overcontrol--and, in
other places, ever-more-toxic under.
control. At this point, the command-and-
control form of our laws interferes with
environmental progress.
Cotmnand-and<ontrol may still be a
useful legislafve tool, but should no
longer be the only tool. What to do?
First, wherever water quality problems
penist, new regulation should be re-
gional, ecosystem by eco .system, and
should be quality-based. For instance, the
entire drainage area of the Chesapeake
Bay should be regulated as a unit to pro-
tect the uses and ecosystems of the Bay,
regardless of standards applied else-
where. For each region, standards could
either be tagged to hmv much effluent is
okay, or could specify. how clean any ef-
fluent must be in various respects. Or
regulaaons could spell out standards that
a body of water must meet after waste en-
ters it. according to highest use--most
pure for drinking, say. All this is more
difficult, polificaliy and economically,
than technology-based laws, but it is cer-
tainly feasible. Such unified management
will allow maximum improvement for a
given cost.
In addition, we should modi~/our
pr--~ent forms of regulation, adding a se-
des of economic incen6ves for voluntary
action. In some European river basins,
for the past 40 years, such incentives have
taken the form of"effluent taxes,' in
which industries and municipalities pay a
"tax' for the pollution they emit. ffciean-
ing up the effluent is cheaper than pay-
ing the tax, emitters clean up. To lessen
pollution, the regulator raises the tax.
F.~uent taxes are a ve~/effective
to cona'ol pollution, beca,.tse emitters
seek the most control at the least COSL
Since they are able to work in a way tai-
lored to their pa~ic-lar circumstances,
there is less cost to pass through to con-
smen. So compared with command-
an&control, effluent taxes get the same
results for less cost--or better results for
the ~me cost.
Effluent taxes would be hard to imple-
ment in the United States, however. The
notion that companies and cities have
some 'right* to emit pollutants, at no
cost, has been well ing~ined by the
nation's history. ALso, the word 'tax' is
politically unacceptable to Americans. At
both the state and federal level, such pro-
posah have been consistently defeated.
A better economic instrument for the
purpose would be Trad~b!e. Discharge
Permits (TDPs). In this policy, the go~
eminent issues permits to discharge a
particular amount of a paulo dar pollut-
ant, for a certain length of time. Once
the permits have been distributed, they
can be bought and sold.
Already, the U.S. has seen some lirw
ited local use of TDPs for water quality
problems. They've been used to control
paper mill wastes in the Fox River, W'~
cousin. In air emissions, trading has been
allowed, in specific circumstances, tbr
more than 15 years, and has worked
fairly well. And the recently revised Clean
Air Act employs TDPs as the major
means to reduce the nation's sulfur emis-
sions by 10 million tons a year.
Advantages of TDPs are many.
* They encourage technological inno-
vation; industries and municipalities
would be motivated to seek the best and
cheapest new technologies, paid for in
part by selling their permits. Industries in
which Ueatment remained expensive
could buy permits.
o Moreover, TDPs encourage innova.

When it faire, or mow melts, the water rinses down fields, forests, roofs, resi-
dential layms, paddug lots, and streets. Whatever the water picks up cous~es to
the nearest drainage channel--sometimes a stormwater pipe, sometimes a
sueam, and rarely a sanitary sewerage system. But it all ends up in the river~,
lakes, and coastal waters. This is nonpoint source pollution, and the EPA has
stated that it largely accounts for the nation's remaining water quality problems.
Nonpoint source poliutlon is a fine mess of cruel From agricultural land

The gush of stormwater discharges does not last long, but the total quantity
of pollutants is very large. One study in California concluded that urban runoff
was responsible for one-tenth to one-hair of pollutants found in San Franc~co
Bay. Cnlfform bacteria indicate fecal pollution; in Puget Sound. 50 percent of it
is believed to come from urban ranoff, with another 45 percent ~rom combined

There can be no doubt that the Clean

rapid deterioration of water quality was

growth in population and economic
It is not adequate to the challenges of
the next century, however. Some loca-
tious, including much of the urban
coastal area, continue to worsen. Popula-
tion continues to grow, and business and
industry continue to emit ever more

aquifers, the natural underground reser-
volts on which many parts of this nation
rely for drinking water.
Clamping down harder with uniform
standards, using th~ technology of 20
yean back, will not solve these problems.
It will only hackfire, by raising costs to
unacceptable levels.
Rather, we must improve our technol-
ogy and be more flexible in our stan-
dards. We must revise the Clean Water
Act to add regional quality-based goals,
backed by economic incentives.

Re: Water Project - University
Over the Intemet, a Mr. Kerry Sesker of the University, i~dlcated the City was in formal
negotiations, or at least appeared to imply such negotiations, with the University concaming their
water plant and their involvement in our water project. A copy of the Interest is attached. This has
set off a flurry of questioning about the City/University involvement. As I have informed some of
you, we are discussing with the university a possible relationship in the water project. Attached
is a copy of an earlier memorandum I sent to your attention. I have indicated to the University
officials that we ~vould do our best to keep this matter low key. Apparently, University employees
have chosen to raise this issue. I spoke with Ann Rhodes to express to her my concam and
wanted her to be aware we had participated in discussions but n~o formal proposals were currently
pending on the part of the University or the City. Far more extensive engineering work would be
necessary before any such proposal could be put forth. The University has asked for information
from our Public Works staff. The work has not reached a point where we could call our
relationship with the University Unegotiations". It is my intent to continue our discussions. We
have invited them to be involved. Their motivations I believe are not dissimilar to ours, that is
they recognize in the long-term they will need to satisfy the federal regulations concernlng Safe
Drinking Water Act and significant new investment will occur at some time in the future in their
water plant.

Re: Water Planning
Recently I concluded discussions with and received follow-up correspondence. from Doug
True, Vice President for Finance and University Services. Doug is interested in forming an
informal team of University and City representatives to discuss possible long-term as well as
short-term plans whereby the City and the University could collaborate on the production and
distribution of water. While there are to be no specific guidelines, it was Doug's interest that
the work proceed quickly with "as little outside clamor as possible." I assume they have
some internal difficulties and thereby were not anxious to make this a high profile work effort.
Doug has suggested three individuals from the University to participate in this review. I will
appoint Chuck Schmadeke, Director of Public Works, Rick Fosse, City Engineer, and Ed
Moreno, our Water Superintendent, as City representatives. There appears to be interest in
having this work proceed quickly and Doug expressed interest in having some recommenda-
tions by the end of this calendar year. While I think we can accommodate the University in
our participation as well as an assessment of the possible relationship, we will need to wait
and see as to whether the University truly wishes to pursue such a joint relationship.
I will keep you advised.

Subject: University offers Water Treatment Plant to City.
Reliable sources at the UI have told me that the University has offered to sell
or lease its water treatment plant to the city.
I haven't seen any discussion of this in the media or on this list.
Has the city given this proposal any consideration? I don't know what the
capacity of the UI water treatment plant is but the UI has wells and the
treatments and water quality exceeds that currently provided by the city.
This would seem to be an alternative worthy of serious consideration.

1996-98 PROPOSED
FINANCIAL PLAN
CITY OF IOWA CITY
December, 1994
City Council
City of Iowa City
CITY OF I0 WA CITY
Re: FY96-98 Financial Plan
Mayor and City Council Members:
As the Council is aware, for the past two fiscal years, the City has been the subject of a
state-imposed property tax freeze. With the preparation of these budget proposals, the freeze
legislation is no longer in effect. However, the state government is now proposing a new and
permanent reduction in available local revenue, that being the elimination of property tax on
machinery and equipment. All signs point to the approval of this legislation and, therefore,
we have made the assumption that the current state proposal of elimination of machinery and
equipment property taxation will occur and the city's available property tax revenue will be
reduced accordingly. Currently, machinery and equipment amounts to approximately 4% of
our available property revenue, or $700,000 per year. We understand the state may consider
a reimbursement on a declining schedule over a ten-year period. This factor has been
incorporated; however, after the ten year phaseout, no further state aid is expected. With the
loss of the machinery and equipment revenue, continued expansion of State rollback on
residential values, and no increase in other state aid, the General Fund budget has little margin
for growth to accommodate the effects of inflation, let alone expansion of public services.
These circumstances have lead me to propose a budget plan that is substantially the same
level of municipal services we have provided in past years. I believe we can continue current
service levels as long as there are no major operational changes. However, we cannot
significantly expand any general fund financed services. There are a number of issues pending
which will have a bearing on this policy and, specifically, departments have requested
approximately $1.1 million in new positi6ns; however, they are for all practical purposes
beyond our ability to finance over the long-term. Other circumstances on the horizon may
also require additional staffing, such as the Library Board's pursuit of and expansion at the
library, a proposed new art/cultural center, the addition of transit routes, the expansion of
park land and open space, etc. Other General Fund issues such as the Airport expansion and
our need to refinance our housing authority are also expected to challenge our General Fund
finances. Our revenues and expenditures have been reviewed in detail and I believe that the
current program of services is about the level of public service which can be expected for our
community.
We are now able and should continue to be able to effectively and responsibly bargain with
our employees and fulfill the effects of inflation on our operational expenses. We cannot
anticipate any large cash outlay beyond our current commitments from the general fund.
General Fund capital expenses will be reviewed and debt financing may be more appropriate.
Our pension funds, health insurance, liability insurance and other related reserves are in good
condition and allow us to meet our needs for the foreseeable future.
loS'
The enterprise funds within the operating budgets are substantially unchanged. Notably, the
water and wastewater budget have included current rate adjustments; however, final
decisions on future rates, timing, and project cost estimates for two major capital projects are
pending. These projects directly influence the budget due to changes in operational
requirements as well as debt service.
The transit budget continues to grow at a rate of expenditures disproportionate to other City
services and the subsidy has increased accordingly. The FY96 shows an increase of
9165,004 over FY95 property tax subsidies for the operation of the transit budget. There is
cause for concern within the transit budget in that the Clinton administration has proposed
an elimination of the federal aid used to support the operational expenses. In that the
operations of the transit are substantially general fund expenditures, such increases merely
exacerbate our financial dilemma within that fund.
The refuse and landfill operations are also substantially unchanged for the purpose of this
budget plan, however, it is with the understanding that a number of policy issues are pending.
These policy issues ultimately translate into operational expenditures and with proposed
expansion of recycling, toxic clean-up, and any related DNR amendments to our landfill permit,
these budgets will need to be amended later.
The airport fun.d and related operational expenses will be affected by the master plan study
under way. It is likely that significant capital expenses will await your decisions in the future
as we respond to the master planning process and ultimately the overall renovation of the~
airport.
The budget as proposed has the positive benefit of indicating that we are capable of living
within the financial restrictions of the state; however, we are not in a position to embark upon
any dramatic changes in service levels for our community. As I am sure you are aware, you
will receive pressures from various constituent interest groups to increase certain services.
With the state restrictions and other potential changes in the federal financial assistance, such
as reduction in support for our transit system, we simply cannot pursue major new spending
commitments.
We have other demands awaiting our financial resources, such as the federal stormwater
regulations which are likely to occur on the heels of the water and wastewater projects which
are now planned. Water and wastewater can be financed from the revenues generated by the.
systems; however, a special utility charge from the general fund appears to be the only option
available to us to meet these new stormwater regulations.
For a comparison for local property owners, the following summarizes the financial impact of
the FY96 budget proposals. A homeowner with an assessed value of 9100,000 in FY95 paid
a City'property tax of 9881 on a taxable value of 968,040 (rollback factor of .680404). In
FY96 the assessed value of a 9100,000 home will have a taxable value of $67,507 (rollback
factor of .675074) and a City property tax of 9879. Business and industry property are taxed
at 100% of assessment (no rollback).
The tax rate for FY95 was 12.953 for City purposes and is proposed to be 13.021 for FY96.
The increases in assessed value vary and thereby direct comparisons from year to year are
not available for the purpose of determining average increases. City property taxes amount
to approximately 40% of the total property tax bill.
This budget plan is not one of significant new issues, challenges or opportunities addressed,
but merely one of maintaining our current position. Every effort should be put forth by the
City organization and through your policies to maintain the financial strengths we now enjoy.
Therefore, we must exercise caution if service expansion is to be considered.

FINANCIAL PLAN OVERVIEW
The Three-Year Financial Plan (the Plan) is again being used for Fiscal Year (FY} 96 through
FY98. This is a one year annual budget that meets state budget requirements and also
provides an additional two years of projections as a planning tool for City government. The
"Financial Plan Overview" discusses the basis that the financial plan has been built upon. The
Financial Plan includes only the operating budgets. The operating budget plan includes
"General Governmental Operations" and "Enterprise Operating and Reserve Funds." A
separate seven-year Capital Improvements Program budget has been prepared, but is not part
of this document.
The role of a government's operating budget differs from that ~f a private business. Budgets
are an important internal planning tool for business. However, in government, budgets also
play an external role. A multi-year financial plan informs parties both inside and outside
government of its future objectives in providing services to its constituents.
The three year plan permits particular emphasis to be placed on property tax levies, user fee
projections, fund balances, the scheduling of capital purchases (both equipment and major
improvement projects) and debt service/bond financing costs. Rather than approaching the
budget as an annual agony, the three year planning process provides a means to meet most
funding needs at some time within the three year period. The Three Year Plan is a reliable
planning document and a management tool.
The modified cash basis of accounting has been used for preparation of the Plan because the
City maintains its daily accounting records on this basis. T.herefore, revenues are recorded
when received, not necessarily when they are earned, and expenditures are recorded when
paid instead of when they are incurred. However, a departure from strict cash basis is the
fact that the City does not record reimbursements for damages as revenue but nets them
against the cost of repairing damages. The Financial Plan summarizes the budget by major
category within each division but actual receipts and expenditures are monitored carefully on
a line-item basis by the Finance Administration Division and the department head in charge
of each division and compared to the budget throughout the fiscal year. Each department
head is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the divisions under their control stay within
budget.
FINANCIAL PLAN ANALYSIS
GOVERNMENTAL OPERATIONS
General Governmental Operations consist of the General Fund, the Debt Service Fund, the Trust and
Agency Funds, Internal Service Funds and the Special Revenue Funds.
A. PROPERTY TAX
Property tax is the single largest revenue source for the City General Fund, accounting for over
65% of FY96 General Fund revenues. The property tax freeze imposed by the state ends in
FY95. The City's property tax requests for FY96 through FY98, including the FY95 certified
tax requests, are proposed to be levied as follows:

The property tax levy requested for FY95 is calculated based on the state imposed property
tax freeze legislation. FY96 through FY98 reflect levies based on no freeze, The City could
levy for Tort Liability but chose not to and pays for this out of the General 8.10 levy. Since
the City didn't levy this tax in FY93, the property tax freeze restricts the City from requesting
this tax in FY94 and FY95.
Following is a schedule highlighting the changes from FY92 through FY95 in assessed value,
state rollback, exemptions and taxable assessed value. Taxable assessed value is calculated
by applying the state rollback factor to residential value and by subtracting military and TIF
exemptions.

100% assessed value is estimated to increa.se 3.92% from FY95 to FY96; however, after
applying the state rollback factor and exemptions, taxable assessed value is estimated to
increase 3.78%.
The State does control local growth in taxable assessed value through the rollback factor on
residential property. After only a .5% decrease in the rollback factor from FY93 to FY94, the
state again, in FY95, decreased the rollback to .680404 or 6.41% lower than the FY94 rate
of .72698§. The FY96 rollback is estimated to be .8% lower than FY95. The rollbaok factor
-3-
Io5'
along with the maximum state imposed tax rates in the General '(~.10), Ubrary (.27) and
Transit (.95) levies allows the state to control taxable growth Iooally.
The General property tax levy totaling 911,925,033 is used in the General Fund to pay for the
support of many services, such as police, fire, library, park and recreation services. The levy
cannot exceed 98.10 per 91000 of taxable assessed valuation per State law.
The Library tax levy of 9.27, which was voted in by a majority of the residents in 1991, will
generate approximately $397,501 in FY96. The initial levy was used to expand Library
services and this lev~ continues to maintain that level of service.
The FY96 transit levy totaling 91,398,615 is 4.14% more than the FY95 amount. The FY96
levy is 91,398,615 and is 4.14% higher than FY95. FY97 and FY98 are estimated at 3% and
4.48% higher than the previous year, respectively. The transit levy is a "general" 'levy for
transit use and must be receipted into the general fund and then transferred to transit.
The Employee Benefits property tax levy is used for General Fund employer costs of social
security (FICA - 7.65%), the Iowa Public Employees Retirement System costs (IPERS - 5.75%),
the Police and Fire Pension contributions (17.66%), health insurance, life insurance, disability
insurance, worker's compensation insurance premiums and unemployment compensation. In
FY94, FY95, FY96 and 'FY97 the City has or will levy the Employee Benefits tax at
92,762,942, 92,921,831, 93,362,528 and 93,650,470, respectively. The Employee Benefits
Fund reflects the use of local Employee Benefits Retirement Fund Reserve monies to fund part
of the employer share of the Police/Fire pension contribution, approximately 9502,000 was
used in FY95 and in FY96, FY97 and FY98, 9595,000, 9682,000 and 9696,000, respectively.
The Debt Service (DS) levy provides funds for the payment of the principal and interest on
general obligation bonds of the City. It can also be utilized to fund the payment of any
judgments against the City, unless other funding sources are provided. The I~Y96 levy
increases to 92,553,886 from 92,376,857 in FY95. The levy is projected to increase to
92,619,322 in FY97 and 93,003,504 in FY98. New debt issues to pay for the cost of repairs
and renovation to streets, bridges, recreation buildings, etc. in FY95, FY96, FY97 and FY98
are 98.5 million (DS-91.4 million), 94.4 million (DS-91.9 million), 96.5 million (DS-96.3 million)
and 94.4 million (DS~93.0 millionl, respectively.
GENERAL FUND REVENUES
Overall, General Fund revenues in F¥1996, 1997 and 1998 increase approximately
$1,000,000 each year. FY96 revenues are approximately $26.1 million or 4.3% greater than
FY95. General Fund revenues are summarized into nine major categories. The analysis of each
category follows:
Pro~)ertv Taxes -- This includes the General (8.10), Transit (.95) and Library (.27)
levies. The property taxes as proposed are at the maximum allowable rates. FY86
property tax revenues totalled 913,727,149 or 3.3% greater than FY95. FY97 is
projected to increase by 3% and FY98 by 4.5%.
Transfer: Eml)lovee B~nefits Law -- this property tax revenue source is receipted in
the Employee Benefits Fund and then transferred to the General Fund to pay for
benefits of employees (employer share of FICA, IPERS and Police and Fire Pension
contributions; health premiums, etc.). FY96 transfers totalling $3,326,447 are
approximately 2% greater than FY95.
-4-
Road Use Tax - This is a gas tax that is received by the State of Iowa pa. id to the City
on a per capita basis, receipted into the City Road Use Tax Fund and {hen transferred
to the General Fund to pay the actual costs of the Traffic Engineer and Street Division
less other revenues received by these divisions. Starting in FY9§ an additional transfer
to the General Fund to fund a new forestry position will occur. This new position is
directly related to the maintenance of City street right-of-way.
State Fundinn -- The revenue sources that come from the State of Iowa consist of
state aid, personal property replacement tax and bank franchise tax. Except for the
bank franchise tax, the State remits these revenues to the City in two equal
installments, one in December and the other in March.
All three of the revenue sources are budgeted at approximately the same amount as
actually received in FY94 and reflect no increases in future years,
Charqeback of Services'- This revenue source consists of administrative charges to
the Enterprise Funds (Ex.: Water, Parking, Wastewater, etc.) for services provided in
the Finance and Public Works Administrative Divisions, us(~ of the Document Services
Division, use of Central Services, Cable TV transfer to the Library and in FY95 a new
chargeback was added for the City Attorney Division.
Fines, Permits and Fees - This category includes quite a variety of different revenue
sources. The largest are Recreation fees, building permits and inspections, parking and
library fines and magistrate court fines, Overall this revenue category is budgeted at
approximately the same amount as FY94 and reflects very small increases in future
years,
Contractual Services -- included in this revenue line item is the contract for Fire
Department services provided to the UniversiW of Iowa.
Johnson County contracts with the City for the use of the Library and Senior Center
for residents who live outside the City limits of Iowa CiW but within Johnson County,
Hotel/Motel Tax -- This revenue is from the 7% hotel/motel tax that is assessed to
those establishments within the city limits of iowa City. Actual receipts are allocated
as follows:
Police Patrol {50%), Convention Bureau (25%), Mercer Park Aquatics (15%) and
Parkland Fund (10%}. The 10% amount that goes to Parkland Fund is further broken
down into Acquisition (7%} and Development (3%).
All Other Income - The largest two revenue sources in all other income are interest
income and transfer of parking fines to the General Fund.

1. Personal Services
Personal services includes salaries and benefits (health, life, disability insurance and
employer share of FICA, IPERS, and Police/Fire retirement contributions. The FY95
budget includes scheduled step increases and an estimated bargained adjustment.
Personnel costs are primarily controlled by collective bargaining agreements.
Employees of the City are represented by three unions: AFSCME (Local #183), the
Police Labor Relations Organization of Iowa City, and the Iowa City Association of
Professional Fire Fighters, IAFF, AFL-CIO (Local//610). All supervisory, confidential,
temporary and other employees who are excluded by law in Chapter 20 of the Code
of Iowa are excluded from the units and from the terms, conditions or application of
the Agreement.
The majority of City employees are represented by AFSCME. This Union is comprised
of two bargaining units, one composed exclusively of Library employees and the other
composed of employees in all other departments. AFSCME ratified a two-year contract
on July 1, 1994, and includes a 3.00% adjustment to wages in FY96 plus any
scheduled step increases.
Sworn police officers are represented by the Police Labor Relations Organizations of
Iowa City. The bargaining unit is composed of all Iowa City police officers. Exempt
from the unit are the police chief, lieutenants, captains, sergeants, and other
confidential, administrative, supervisory and less than half-time employees. The police
-5-
I oS'
Officers union agreed to a three-year contract that spans July 1, 1994, ti~rough June
30, 1997. This agreement included a 3.0% adjustment to wages in July 1994, 3.25%
in January 1995, 2% in July 1996, 2% on December 28, 1996, plus any scheduled
step increases in each fiscal year.
The firefighters are represented by the Iowa City Association of Professional Fire
Fighters, IAFF, AFL-CIO {Local #610). The bargaining unit is composed of firefighters,
lieutenants, and captains. Exempt from the unit are the fire chief, fire marshal and
battalion chiefs. The firefighters negotiated a one-year contract, July 1, 1994, and
includes a 3% adjustment to wages plus any scheduled step increases.
Employees who are administrative, supervisory or otherwise ineligible for collective
bargaining are covered by the Personnel Rules and Regulations. Some are eligible for
Civil Service. Salaries and benefits are determined by the City Council upon the
recommendation of the City Manager. Approximately ~00 administrative and
confidential employees received a 3% adjustment July 1, 1994, plus any scheduled
step increases.
Commodities
Commodities mainly consist of office and cleaning supplies, and maintenance and
repair materials for buildings, streets and equipment. Supplies and materials are
projected to decrease by 2.6% in FY96 and then increase by 3.1% in FY97 and FY98.
Services and Charges
Services and Charges cover expenses for liability insurance premiums, Aid to Agencies
payments, printing and postage, various service contracts, repairs and maintenance to
vehicles, equipment and buildings, chargeback for vehicle use and replacement, and
utility costs. FY96 is estimated to increase 9570,000 or 15% more than FY95. The
main reasons are reinstatement of the general fund loss reserve payment {9200,000)
which was not planned in FY95 due to the property tax freeze; electricity, sewer and
water proposed rate increases (975,000); vehicle repairs {930,000); professional
services (t~51,000); postal, telephone, and radio communications maintenance
(975,000) are some of the changes from FY95 to FY96.
The Aid to Agencies budget is partially funded from Community Development Block
Grant monies and the remainder funded from property tax revenues in the General
Fund. The City Council appropriates money annually to each agency. The FY96
budget is proposed to be 9358,650 ($105,000 CDBG, 9253,650 General Funds). The
financial plan provides for a 3% increase in FY97 and FY98. Below is a detailed listing
of the agencies funded from FY92 to FY95. Human services received FY96 requests
for funding totaling 9433,734.

5. Contingency
The expenditure line item contingency is set at approximately 1% of all budgeted expenditures.
The FY95 original budget was 8248,890 the balance at 11-30-94 is 8133,155 as budget
amendments have been processed using contingency. FY96, FY97 and FY98 contingencies
are set at 8256,357, ~264,O48 and 8271,969, respectively.
D. GENERAL FUND YEAR-END BALANCE
The City separates the General Fund cash balance into a Pure Fund Balance and a Reserve Fund
Balance. The Pure Fund Balance is that portion of the balance maintained as working capital which
is not available for allocation except in emergency situations. The Reserve Fund Balance is
allocated for Parkland Acquisition/Development, Library Reserves for computer equipment
replacement, AV and Public Access equipment replacement, State reciprocal borrowing revenues
and Fire Apparatus replacement.
The annual year-end fund balance minus the reserve balances gives the Pure Fund Balance or the
General Fund's working capital position, The following chart gives the Pure Fund Balance for fiscal
years 1994 through 1998,

The Pure Fund Balance is 28% of expenditures in FY94, and drops to 10% by FY98. Any
unexpected deterioration of the City's cash position will need to be monitored closely. Following
the Financial Plan Overview are schedules summarizing the General Fund reserve balances.
The Pure Fund Balance is used to provide for cash flow in the first quarter of the new fiscal year
because the majority of property taxes are not received until October/November and cash balances
-9-
are drawn down. The following chart sh.ows cash flow needs or how expenditures have exceeded
receipts in the first three months of the past eighz years.

E. DEBT SERVICE FUND
This fund provides for the payment of the principal and interest due on general obligation debt of
the City. Funding is provided by the Debt Service Tax Levy and abatement transfers from various
Enterprise Funds for their capital improvements which were funded by General Obligation Bonds.
Debt Service expenses in FY96 through FY98 include proposed bond issues of 94.4 million in
FY96, (;6.5 million in FY97, and 94.4 million in FY98.
As stated in the City's Fiscal Policy, "Debt incurred as a general obligation of the City of Iowa City
shall not exceed statutory limits: presently 5% of the total assessed value of property within the
corporate limits as established by the CiW Assessor."
The following schedule shows the relation of Iowa City's allowable debt margin and the debt
incurred for FY90 through FY98. The total property valuation amounts are actual for FY90-FY94,
but are estimates for FY95 through FY98.

The Fiscal Policy also includes the guideline that "the debt service levy shall not exceed 25% of
the total levy in any one fiscal year." The following chart shows the debt service levy as a
percentage of the total levy for FY90 through FY98. The levies for FY90-FY95 are certified and
the FY96-FY98 are projected levies. {The State will certify the levy for FY96 in June 1995.)

F. TRUST AND AGENCY FUND
The Trust and Agency Fund budgets for JCCOG {Johnson County Council of Governments). The
JCCOG fund is an agency fund. The City only acts as custodian for the fund and provides
accounting services. JCCOG provides county-wide planning assistance for transportation, human
services and solid waste planning.
OTHER FUNDS
Internal Service funds include the Equipment Maintenance Fund, Equipment Replacement Fund, the
Central Supply and Print Shop Fund, the Risk Management Loss Reserve Fund and the Health
Insurance Reserve Fund. The Equipment Maintenance Fund provides maintenance for all City
vehicles and equipment and rents vehicles to other City departments frown a central vehicle pool.
Funding is provided from a chargeback to all departments for the maintenance services and the
rentals of vehicles. The Equipment Replacement Fund is used to replace almost all of the rolling
stock of all City vehicles, Funding is provided from a chargeback to all departments based on the
estimated replacement value at the time of replacement. The Central Services Fund covers the
operation of the general office supply inventory, the print shop, copiers, phone communications,
mail services, radio maintenance and the FAX machine. Both of these functions are available to
all City departments who are charged based upon the services utilized. The Risk Management Loss
Reserve Fund accounts for the liability for all funds except the General Fund. All funds are charged
based on their loss experience and prorated share of premium. The Health Insurance Reserve
accounts for the actual payment of all health and dental claims; Funding is based on premiums
based on actuarially sound estimates and charged to each department.
The Special Revenue Funds include the Employee Benefils Fu. nd, Community Development Block
Grant Fund (CDBG), Road Use Tax Fund, Public/Assisted Housing and Special Assessments. The
Employee Benefits Fund accounts for the receipt of property taxes related to employer share of
benefits of the General Fund. Transfers to the General Fund are made from here.
The CDBG and Public/Assisted Housing Funds account for revenue from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development programs and is restricted in use for eligible projects as defined
by Federal regulations. The Road Use Tax Fund accounts for revenue from the State and is used
to pay for street related maintenance and planning, traffic engineering and street related
construction costs.
ENTERPRISE FUNDS
The Enterprise Funds include Parking, Wastewater Treatment, Water, Refuse, Landfill, Airport, Transit
and Broadband Telecommunications. These are primarily funded from user fees for services provided
with the exception of transit and airport. They receive most of their funding from property taxes, a
General Fund subsidy. The other six funds are self-supporting from revenue that they generate.
-11-
A. PARKING FUND
Parking rates were increased last on July 1, 1992. There are no rate increases calculated into the
three-year financial plan. Revenues for the three-year plan are flat. Parking fines are receipted into
the parking fund to satisfy revenue requirements for Parking Revenue bond covenants. If the bond
covenants are satisfied and the cash balance at year end is adequate, the revenue from fines is
transferred to the General Fund. Based on the cash balances declining from approximately
$1,000,000 at the end of FY95 to approximately $93,000 at the end of FY98, a rate increase to
fund operations will need to be enacted sometime within thre~-year financial plan.
Parking expenditures reflect no change in staffing or operations. Transfers are approximately one-
half of the operating budget. Transfers include the funding for debt payments, parking fines,
transfer to the General Fund, parking reserve for ramp repairs and an operating subsidy to the
transit operations.
B. WASTEWATER TREATMENT FUND
The wastewater treatment fund reflects the most recent 35% rate increase enacted for bills on or
after March 1, 1995. There are no other rate increases reflected in the three-year plan. Rates will
need to be adjusted after the decision is made on a timetable to proceed with constructing the
planned wastewater projects.
Expenses reflect no new increases in staff in the three-year plan. Transfers are the largest portion
of the operating budget, accounting for approximately t~4.65 million in expenses or 62% of the
budget. Transfers pay for the debt service on bonds outstanding. Transfers reflect debt service
on new issues in 1996, 1997, and 1998. The wastewater portion of those bond issues are
$925,000, $1.9 million, and $200,000 in the three-year plan. Otherwise there is no significant
changes in operating expenses in the three-year plan as proposed.
C, WATER FUND
The water fund reflects the most recent 40% rate increase enacted for bills on or after March 1,
1995. There are no rate increases factored in the three-year plan after that. Once a decision is
made on the timetable of a new water treatment facility, rates will need to be calculated and
factored into the three-year plan.
FY98 reflects the addition of lY2 full-time equivalent meter reader positions to accommodate
monthly billing. There are no other new staffing positions reflected in the three-year plan.
Transfers in FY96 reflect the debt service on 95.4 million of general obligation bond debt. The
majority of this bond issue will reimburse the CiW for the cost of condemnation related to buying
land for the new water treatment facility. No additional significant debt is factored into the three-
year plan.
D. REFUSE FUND
No significant changes are reflected in operations within this fund. A 22% rate increase is factored
in FY96, a 5% in 1997 and a 3.1% in 1998 in curbside refuse collection fees. Recycling fees
reflect no change in FY96, a 4.6% increase in 1997 and a 4.4% increase in 1998. These
increases are necessary to maintain the fund at its current level.
E. LANDFILL FUND
The three-year financial plan reflects increases in tipping fees of 1.5% each year. There are no
significant changes in operations or transfers within this fund. The $1.7 million annual transfer
-12-
from the operating fund to landfill replacement reserve is used for the construction of new landfill
cells, purchase of additional landfill land, and any major capital projects that are needed at the
landfill.
AIRPORT
The Airport operating fund reflects no significant change in operations. Transfer increases slightly
and is related to the bonds being paid off in FY96 and new expenditures replacing that in the form
of a loan repayment. The loan repayment reflects amounts borrowed to build a new T-Hangar, dn
asphalt overlay project and a major roof rel~air. The General Fund subsidy increases to
approximately 50% of the budget in the three-year plan.
G. TRANSIT FUND
The Transit Operating Fund reflects the addition of a new route. Although for accounting purposes
this fund is considered an enterprise fund, which means fees pay for the majority of the costs
associated with this fund, fees are one of the smallest portions of this budget. Less than 25% of
the revenue generated from this fund is from fees. Another 16% is received from federal, state
and local government. Starting in FY95, 990,000 has been transferred from the Parking Fund to
the Transit Fund as an operating subsidy. The majority of the funding in the Transit Fund comes
from a .95 tax on all taxable property within the City of Iowa City. This generates approximately
91.4 million a year. In addition, the General Fund subsidizes an additional 8565,000 in 1996,
9800,000 in 1997 and $840,000 in 1998 to operate this fund. This subsidization has a direct
impact on the General Fund operations. As costs and new routes are adde~l within this fund, the
only source of funding for those new projects is the General Fund.
The transfer out reflects an amount to the transit replacement fund which is used to pay for the
City's portion of new bus purchases.

H. BROADBAND TELECOMMUNICATIONS
This fund accounts for the Cable TV operations of the City. The funding source is from the cable
franchise fee of 5% which is part of the monthly bill for Cable TV. There are no significant
changes within this fund over the three-year plan. Transfers include an operating subsidy to the
-13-
Library for cable TV of $37,300 in FY96 and an increase up to $42,700 in FY98. In addition,
910,000 a year is transferred to the Cable TV replacement reserve fund, which is used to replace
equipment on an as-needed basis. FY96 marks the last payment to the General Fund for the cable
TV cost-associated with the Civic Center expansion.
RESERVEFUNDS
The revenue bond ordinance covenants require that Parking and the Wastewater Treatment Fund set
aside these special accounts:
a) Bond and Interest Sinking Reserves - amounts sufficient to pay current bond and interest
maturities. (Transfers from the appropriate operating fund are made monthly.)
b) Band and Interest Reserves - balances to be maintained that are equal to the maximum amount of
principal and interest due on the bonds in any succeeding fiscal year. (Current parking balance is
9651,113 and current Wastewater balance is 93,672,550.)
c) Depreciation, Extension and Improvement Reserve or Renewal and Improvement Reserves -
9240,000 transferred annually for Wastewater Treatment until a balance of 92 million is reached
(current balance is 92,000,000) and 960,000 transferred annually for Parking until a balance of
$300,000 is reached (current balance is 9300,000).
Parking, Landfill, Water, Transit and Broadband Telecommunications have separate reserves for future
capital expenditures. The Perking reserve is to be used for every other year ramp repairs and for a
future parking facility. Landfill's reserve is to be used for the purchase of additional landfill land and
cell construction, Landfill closure funding and a perpetual care fund. The Water reserve is available
to fund major capital improvement projects for the water plant in future years. The Transit reserve will
be used to repay loans from the federal and state governments and to fund future bus acquisitions.
Broadband Telecommunications' reserve is for future equipment replacement.
