Attached is a copy of the correspondence which initiated this conversation as well as the City Manager's response to Jim Larew. Generally speaking, the City Council was receptive of the idea with the very clear understanding that the primary purpose of the water treatment plant site is for water source, distribution and treatment. The City Council asked that the Planning and Zoning Commission give consideration to the alternate use_s at the water treatment plant site, specifically land use ir0~ic~. Staff is working on a general land use plan and it m~y be incorporated into your discussions, Please schedule this matter as convenient. If you have any questions, please give me a call.

Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Re: Science Center Site Dear Steve: As you know, the Iowa City Area Science Center, Inc., is a non-profit, tax exempt corporation established for the purpose of creating a science and technology center in our community. For more than three years, until such time as an appropriate site could be found for a science center Structure, we have been offering a variety of programs to the public. Although we have never had a men~bership drive, we already have more then 400 individuals and families who have become members. Literally thousands of people of all ages have artended our programs taught by hundreds of adult volunteers. We believe that now is-the time to build a science and technology center. With this interest in mind, we have noted with special interest that the principal lawsuit between the City of Iowa City and the owners of the real estate which was condemned for the new water treatment plant site has been settled. Before the City condemned this property, we had been invited by Mr. Bruce Glasgow, on behalf of his partnership (and, later, condemnees), to consider this site as a location for a new science center. We were impressed with the site's potential. It is immediately accessible to the University of Iowa community, on the Dubuque Street extension. It is also accessible to our growing community--east end west, north and south, by its proximity to Interstate 80. Finally, we believe the site provides an excellent greeting point to n~tional and intTa-state visitors whom we expect to attract, as they travel through eastern Iowa. For a community with a national and international reputation in science, health and technology fields, we believe a science and technology center will prove to be an unprecedented "ambassador" institution. When the City later decided to condemn this real estate, and prior to the initiation of the condeanation litigation between Mr. IOWA CITY ARF. A SCIP. NCl~, CP..N'I~R, INC. Mr. Stephen Arkins May 15, 1995 Page 2 Glasgow' s partnership and the Ct~7 of Iowa City, we were pleased to have been invited a~tend a chare~te hosted by the City, at which time we held further informal d~scusstons regarding the possible locatlon of a science c~ente~ on a small portion of the condemned real estate. By this letter, I wanted to express our very strong and continued interest in locating a science and technology center on this site. We believe such a location would benefit the public whom we serve. . Such a facility would be designed, in cooperation with the City, to assure .that it posed no threat to the operation of the new water treatment plant. We respectfully request the opportunity to meet with appropriate officials from the City as soon as reasonably possible, to allow our .earlier discussions to continue° We hope that such a dialogue would lead, in ~he very near future, to the execution of a written agreement in principal under which terms ICASC would be ellowed to use a designated portion of this land sU that our Board of Directors might, in turn, approach appropriate foundations and agencies to determine their interest end ability to assist us in funding the pieruling and construction phases of this exciting venture. Thar~ you for your prompt response to this request. Beet wishes. Sin ly ~~n~SC~ C. ~a IDENT, SC April 7, 1995 Jim Larew 504 E. Bloomington St. Iowa City, IA 52245 CITY OF I0 WA CITY Dear Jim: Following the City Council work session discussion on July 11, I wanted to indicate what I believe to be the Council's direction with respect to the Science Center and the water treatment plant site.- The Council appears interested in considering the possibility of the Science Center on th~ water treatment plant site. I believe you understood their reservations about the use of the site by other than water treatment/water financed facilities. The City staff will be undertaking a design of the water treatment facilities and their approximate location on the treatment plant site. There is a limited amount of land available for the water treatment plant, its physical structure, and support buildings; therefore, the Science Center would be considered an ancillary use. I re~;ognize our work will have some bearing on your fundraising efforts; I believe you can legitimately say to those interested in assisting in your financing that the City will consider the water treatment site, depending upon a variety 6f limitations and other considerations, as a possible location for the Science Center. The Planning Department and Public Works Department will be undertaking a general site plan. We will attempt to show what land might be available on the buildable portion of the property; that is, the portion which would support foundations and other structural needs. Also, the land which is intended for water storage and/or source will be identified as not supporting physical structures. I will also, by copy of this letter, ask John Hayek to review our legal position in order to assure the City Council that in considering alternate uses we are not in any legal jeopardy. I would expect John to review it promptly. I will share his opinions with you.

While there was some difference of opinion among Council members and I too felt that was not the direction we received, clearly the minutes show otherwise. The City staff did prepare a summary of the operating expenses for the possibility of the City's involvement\takeover of SEATS service. At one time, the County indicated they would not submit a proposal and therefore as a contingency we were prepared to respond at the closure date of the RFP process. Our estimates indicated thai the cost of a City paratransit service would be approximately that of the earlier proposals by .the County. When compared to the County proposal as submitted, ours was approximately 1V~% less. We made a judgment that the minor difference in the cost was not sufficient to discourage our recommending continuation of the contract with the County. Furthermore, the expressed opinions of the Council members, and I believe the community, was a desire to preserve the SEATS service as one service-one provider and not the potential for two or some fragmented service. Karen was correct in that we should have submitted a formal response to our RFP. I can assure you that we were fully prepared to do so; however, chose to provide a cost estimate as a backup for the eventuality of either no County proposal or a complete lack of proposals in response to the RFP. I apologize for the misunderstanding. CC: a~c%7-19.sa Joe Fowler Jeff Davidson April 7, 1995 Jim Larew 504 E.

Horowitz and Members of the City Council ::,:.:::,::::, :::::::: - Press P ohn y, regarding PATV Controversy Attached is a copy of the press release faxed to me on Wednesday, July 19, 1995. You will note thpt Pat White states that "public nudity can be regulated under the First Amendment." I called Pat to discuss this broad, indeed over-sweeping statement, and we do agree that under the current version of the federal Cable Act of 1992, PATV could pass regulations defining "offensiveness" to include nudity, and presumably limiting when th}se "offensive" materials could be presented to viewers. A!so, I want to again encourage PATV to consult their own attorney as to how far pre- screening can' be carried out by PATV, and still avoid First Amendment/constitutional problems. This is a highly technical area; and as I mentioned in prior public meetings, the City Attorney's Office gives advice to City employees and City officials, and PATV does not fall into this category.

On May 16, 1994, tile City of iowa City submitted to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources the "Design Outline for Wastewater Treatment and collection Facility Improvements" dated May 1994. This "Design Outline," prepared by Stanley Consultants Inc. was submitted as both the plan of action and the preliminary engineering report for the Iowa City Ammonia Reduction Project. Due to available capacity at our south treatment plant, additional ammonia reduction will be realized when the north and south plants are connected by way of the south river corridor sewer. The IDNR in a letter dated November 10, 1994, proposed the following schedule for completion of the work included in the "Design Outline": August 1, 1995 Submit Final Plans and Specifications Meeting IDNR Design Standards December 1, 1995 Receive Bids January 1, 1996 Award Contracts February 1, 1996 Start Construction July 1, 1998 Initiate Operations November 1, 1998 Compliance with Final Effluent Limitations 410 EAST WASHINOTON STREET · IOWA CITY. IOWA JZ/40-1~26 · (319) 3J6-J000 · FAX ()19) Darrell McAIlister July 13, 1995 Page 2 It appears that these dates, although consistent with the schedule included in the "Design Outline," are.overly burdensome on the City and our wastewater users. The City therefor requests consideration of a revised schedule which will allow time to complete the design, acquire property rights, provide for regulatory review, establish a reasonable and acceptable user fee schedule, accumulate cash, sell'bonds and complete construction. We believe we can fulfill environmental responsibility in a timely fashion, and yet stay within our ability to finance such improvements, We would like to point out that the City is about to complete the design outline for new Water Facility improvements to meet Federal standards, These improvements include new water sources, distribution system improvements, and a new water treatment plant. The City has purchased the new site for the wells and treatment plant and we are currently constructing test wells at the site. These will become production wells in the future. These new water treatment and source/supply facilities will be constructed in phases over the next six years. The estimated cost for the water project is 952,000,000 in 1995 dollars. Just as with the wastewater improvements (945,000,000), the City intends to sell revenue bonds for a substantial portion of the costs for both projects. Bond issue structure and the accumulation of cash are now in preparation; however, we have estimated that the borrowing, of ~97,000,000-F over the next six years could result not only in a significant new debt burden for the City, but also with interest and borrowing costs, would make these water and wastewater improvements actually cost 9200,000,000. This, in addition to our current wastewater debt burden of 940,000,000 (with interest costs of an additional- ~40.,000,000), as you can see the City will be approaching a debt burden of 9140,000,000 +, and actual project costs of twice that amount. We are therefore requesti~lg a revised schedule for wastewater compliance, It is the City's intent to combine the construction of these two costly projects in order to effectively manage the work. In other words, the City proposes a seven-year construction schedule for Wastewater Facility Improvements, Even with this extended schedule, the City will be spending on average + ~ 13,000,000 per year on water and wastewater construction- related activities. The revised schedule for completion of the Wastewater Facility work is as follows: October 1, 1995 Submit Final Plans .and Specifications Meeting IDNR Design Standards (South River Corridor Sewer, Napoleon Park Pump Station, North and South Plant Improvements) February 1, 1996 Receive Bids on South River Corridor Sewer and Napoleon Park Pump Station. March 1, 1996 Award Contract for South River Corridor Sewer and Napoleon Park Pump Station. April 1 ,. 1996 Start Construction for South River Corridor Sewer and Napoleon Park Pump Station.

Receive Bids on North and South Plant Improvements Award Contract on North and South Plant Improvements Start Construction on North and South Plant Improvements Complete Construction on North and South Plant Im- provements Initiate Operations Compliance with Final Effluent Limitations I trust you will consider this revised schedule favorably as it will reduce the City's financial burden (debt) over the next 25 years and still meat the federal requirement for ammonia removal within a reasonable time frame.

Atkins, City Manager City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: To: From: Re: July 21, 1995 City Manager and City Council FY96 property tax rate: The final City of iowa City property tax rate for FY96 is 12.992. The rate as shown during the public hearing and final budget adoption process was 12,998. The total dollars requested of $19,264,133 remain the same. The rate calculation for debt service was .006 higher than it should have been and therefore the rate as certified by the state was changed to 12.992. I've attached a final report showing the comparative tax levy rates for FY95 and FY96. Bank Franchise Tax Revenue: The City of iowa City did hot receive its ~Hal bank franchise tax payment for FY95 until July 3, 1995, which puts that revenue into FY96. This will show a significant .difference between budget to actual in FY95 for state revenues - the FY95 budget was $100,000 and actual receipts were $965.57. It is a little disappointing to me that the State of iowa did not remit this check in a more timely fashion in order for the City to deposit this in the proper FY pedod. Staff had been in contact with the State Department of Revenue in mid-June asking when the City would receive this allocation. We were assured that the City would receive this check prior to FY end, The check was dated June 29, 1995, and the postmark on the envelope was June 30, 1995. The check was not received by the City until July 3, 1995. I've attached a schedule which shows the actual receipts for FY92-95 and the first receipt in FY96 to show the historical trend of this receipt. The State of Iowa legislature capped the distribution of this revenue to cities and counties at approximately $8.8 million this past year. This means if bank franchise revenue exceeds that, the only amount that the State will distribute to the cities and counties is $8.8 million. The distribution is also dependent on when banks actually pay the franchise tax to the State.

John Nesbitt suggested that he was attending because he was interested in the Neighborhood Council activities and was just obsexl, ing. The various neighborhood presented a brief update on some of their recent activities. Cindy Pumffey from the Friendship Neighborhood Association stated that the neighborhood remains interested in activities related to the Eagles Supermarket proposed for the site at First Avenue and Muscatine. She understoed that nothing had occurred related to this proposal. The neighborhood also hosted a Ralston Creek Cleanup and although not well attended, aiot got accomplished. Cindy discussed the success of the Easter Egg Hunt that occurred over Easter weekend. A large number of parents and children attended and all were very pleased with the event. The neighborhood also sold refreshments at the "Leash on Life" dog walk at City Park as a fundraiser. Sally Cmwe of the Penny Bryne Neighborhood AsSociation updated the Neighborhood Council on the current 'status of the Stop Sign Program and the survey that was distributed. She is concerned about the lack of observing the stop signs on Tug. She witnessed a Johnson County sheriff go through one of the stop signs and suggested that it is prevalent by others. She also suggested that some Uee trimming had to occur along the street so that the signs could be better seen. Steve and Jan Locher from the Bluffwood Neighborhood Association updated the Council on the neighborhoods activities related to Ralston Creek. They coordinated a meeting with Jim Glasgow to discuss how the creek could be stabilized behind the new condominium building on the corner of First Avenue and Hickory Trail. Vince Neary of the Ralston Creek Watershed Partnership assisted in the meeting and it was felt that there was some resolution to concerns expressed by the neighbors. Steve also add~ that the neighborhood is very interested in remaining involved in any discussions regarding growth in the northeast section of Iowa City. A1 Soucek of the Northside Neighborhood Association updated the Council on the Happy Hollow Park Cleanup and Northside Fair scheduled for May 28th. Lorna Warnock of the Galway Hills Neighborhood Association stated that the neighborhood reccn~y held a garage sale which was of questionable success. She also stated that the neighborhood was awaiting the improvement work planned for West Metrose Avenue in which the road would be widened from 2 lane to 4 lane. She suggested that the neighborhood knew that it was bound to happen with the road acting as a feeder road into the city and liniversity area. She feels the narrown~ of Melrose through University Heights is going to act as a roadblock towards making the road effective. Lorna also updated the Council on the efforts of the neighborhood to protect some 100+ year old oak trees on the property adjacent to their subdivision. The area is currently being subdivided and the trees are in danger of being removed.' Loma suggested she .feels that they will not be sucoessful in their efforts. Mary Lewis and Jane Klitzka of the Grantwood Neighborhood Association updated the Council on the status of the Eastside Bus Loop Route stating that the bus was very full on some of the trips and empty on others; a result of the bus being utilized substantially by Junior High and High School students. This erratic ridership was causing the overall ridership of the route to appear substandard. Jane suggested that she would like the City to consider combining this route with other existing routes or utilizing one driver for this and another route to keep costs down. The City Council is gojng to review the bus route in July. Mary stated that the neighborhood again provided some locations to the Public Works Department for installation of curb ramps in their area. Marcia stated that she would get Mary the locations of the curb romps scheduled to be installed during Fiscal Year 1996. The Whispering Meadows Wetlands Park continues to be a focus for the neighborhood. Scott Ford of the 'Bat Company" presented information at the last neighborhood meeting regarding the effectiveness of bats in a wetlands area. Jim Waiters of the Songbird Project has installed a bat house in the park. Members of the neighborhood also met with Terry Trueblood, Jeff McClure and Bob Howca to discuss the status of the weftands park project and update each other on their activities. People in .the neighborhood have started small plots in their yards to start off wetlands plantings that can be planted in the park next year. lack Widness of the Metrose Avenue Neighborhood Association stated that the neighborhood recen~y held a pe~uck picnic. The neighborhood also continues to be involved in tile Environmental Assessment process and providing input. Jack also stated that the neighborhood is involved in a special exception request by the Mormon church to use a single-family home on Melrose as a learning center and religious institutions. The initial concerns of the neighborhood are r~iated to parking and access onto Lucon Drive, a private 'street. The neighborhood is also concerned that the property could be purchased by the University and its use would not allow for or welcome any public comment. Pare Eltrhardt of the Longfellow Neighborhood Association stated that the neighborhood was 2 holding a joint meeting with Creekside and Friendship neighborhoods to discuss Ralston Creek. A neighborhood Garden Walk is scheduled for lune 24 and the neighborhood will be playing softball against the Northsid. e Neighborhood Association at their annual Northside Fair. The neighborhood continues to await word on the future of the ADS site on Sheridan Avenue. The Neighborhood Council then discussed the Program for Improving Neighborhood (Pll~I) process that they had just participated in. Some of the suggestions that were made for improving the process next year include: -establishing a maximum grant mount for each application ($5000) -establishing a category for smaller grant with a maximum grant of $1000 and setting aside a special set of funds for these grants -require that the project must be able to be completed within the funding year and not contingent upon some other activity being completed prior to being able to complete the project There was considerable discussion regarding the process of the Neighborhood Council acting as the review body for the grants. A1 Soucek expressed great concern over this process and suggested that there was a strong conflict of interest present. Many Neighborhood Council participants responded to this concern by suggesting that they felt that not allowing a neighborhood to pardcipate in ranking their own applications eliminates that conflict and that there was the need to trust that neighborhoods would rank responsibly. The option of having a variety of City staff reviewing and ranking the applications (which had been discussed at a previous meeting was felt to reduce the responsibility of the neighborhood associations and reduce the level of active participation in the process. It was decided that the PIN process would continue to be discussed during the next few months so that revised guidelines could be developed and made available in early 1996. The Neighborhood Council was asked what recommendations they may have for speakers at upcomh~g meetings. The topic of Community Leadership and speakers who could address this topic came up. John Nesbitt suggested that the Johnson County Extension office or Kirkwood Community College could provide speakers on that topic. It was also suggested that neighborhood associations could offer or be requested to speak on a particular topic; in. an event that they are particularly successful at planning, establishment of by-laws, etc. Karen Kubby has also presented information to other groups regarding "flow to talk with the City" and could provide similar information. It was suggested that a staff parson be available to discuss the draft Sensitive Areas Ordinance at the next meeting. Marcia suggested she would secure a speaker regarding the draft ordinance for the meeting, scheduled for luly 19, 1995. 3 APPROVED Minutes PATV Board of Directors Thursday, May 18, 1995, in Meeting Room C of the Iowa City Public Library Present: Doug Aliaire, Greg Easley, Derek Maurer, Scott Murray, and Steve Wurtzler.
