RE: Iowa City Landfill
FY95 Cell Construction
Dear Mr. Scoff:
Based on observed flow from the north and south FY95 leachate collection lines and
review of a video-tape of the interior of each pipe, it appears both pipes are free of
significant obstructions and the cell is draining.
Attached is a copy of the DNR approval letter received by fax July 17, 1995, granting the
City permission to use the FY95 cell for solid waste disposal once the temporary leachate
pumping system is stabilized and connected to discharge into the leachate storage lagoon.
Attached is the final pay estimate from JB Holland Construction. We recommend the
project be accepted as complete by the City and use of the FY95 cell for waste disposal
at the discretion of the City. If you have any questions or require additional information,
please feel free to call.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 8, 1995
TO: Steve Atkins, City Manager
FROM: Rick Fosse, City Engineer ~J~
RE: Maiden Lane Pedestrian Bridge
The Malden Lane Pedestrian Bridge is on the Council Agenda for approval August 15,
1995. As we have discussed, the west beam had a number of stress cracks that
occurred when the beam was removed from the form in which it was cast. Although
the cracks pose no threat to the stability of the bridge, they are a cosmetic concern.
The cracks have been patched in a similar manner that repairs were made the
Chauncey Swan Parking Facility prior to accepting that structure. Such repairs to
architectural concrete are common, however because of the number of repairs on the
west beam, I felt it necessary to secure extended maintenance for the bridge. We
have a letter from the President of Iowa Prestressed Concrete, Inc. guaranteeing the
repairs for a period of 10 years. We also have a two year maintenance bond on the
bridge. If the repairs perform poorly during the two year period, it may be an
indication of long term maintenance problems, and we could still require replacement
of the beams.

Re: Malden Lane Pedestrian Bridge
Dear Rick:
I have reviewed the Maiden Lane Project and found items to be completed as
indicated in the plans and specifications.
The ownership of two timbers on the north side of the creek and one on the south
was brought up with Dick Sojka. He will investigate this issue and remove as
necessary.
To prevent or limit non-authorized vehicular traffic on the bridge, we would suggest
that some form of directional barrier or bollards be installed.
Also attached is the final Change Order for pile splices and joint material. These
items had not been previously addressed and are items that have been performed.
To clarify on Change Order No.2; Dick Sojka's letter of March 16, 1995 omitted the
deduction for splice boxes in the approach slabs, but this is clarified in the quote
from Kober Electric. The mention of junction boxes in the memo referred to
connection points between the conduits under the bridge.
I continue to gather data on the issue of efflorescence and will report to you as soon
as possible.
Sincerely yours,

that we have followect a very different process in devising this policy than
we have with regard to the sensitive natural areas ordinance or the water
plan or the Vision 2000. In the first case, we appointed a diverse
committee to draft the ordinance with staff help, and then sent it to
several commissions for comment. In the second we hired a consultant
who prepared the plan with staff assistance. In the third we appointed 90
citizen volunteers to draft visions. In this case staff drafted material which
we then discussed in two council work sessions, and then sent a draft to 15
or so organizations. Now we have received wdtten comments from six
in.~divtduals and organizations and oral commentary from __ others
tonight. How should we respond to those comments?
I believe that our economic development pp. li~hould be to provide a
~ood quality of life for all Americans in an ecologically sustainable wa)~ (or,
as Derek Maurer puts it, 'Ynaintain a resilient local economy that can
withstand the inevitable, and potentially catastrophic, downturns of
national and supra-national economies"), and that the policy should be
involve the open and democratic participation of individuals drawn from
a diverse array of local organizations. Accordingly, I (based largely on
conversations with Bruno as well as careful review of the comments
submitted to us) suggest the following 8 amendments:
Policy 1 needs a Strategy C~ Establish a "social compact" with investors
who receive public subsidies. The compact would include two actions: (1)
include a clawback provision to insure that firms which do not live up to
their promises are required to reimburse public subsidies; and (2) include a
requirement that firms receiving public subsidy pay a 'living social wage"
to their employees. Consulting with appropriate organizations, staff
should define a 'living social wage" for Iowa City-area employees.
Policy 2, Action 4 should be revised to add % include education in
worker's rights, labor law, and workplace safety" at the end.
Policy 3, Strategy A, needs a new Action 4: "When the industrial or
commercial development would occur out of sequence, normal policy
should be to recoup costs imposed by the development. However, when
the firm or industry meets the criteria specified in Policy 6, the city should
assume a portion of the development costs."
Policy 4, Strategy A, Action 1, needs an introductory clause: "Guided by
criteria produced pursuant to Policy 6,"
Policy 4, Strategy C, needs to have the following words inserted between
"government, and educational:" 'labor, citizen groups such as
neighborhood associations, environmental groups."
Policy 4, Strategy C, needs a new Action 6: "Establish a formal process
through which diverse organizations 0ndustries, labor groups, citizen
groups, environmental 8roups, the University of Iowa, and others) can
share knowledge and viewpoints concerning local economic
development."
Policy § needs a new Strategy ~ "Reward firms that use natural resources
efficiently and minimize pollution by offering financial incentives
pursuant to Policy 6."
Policy 6, Strategy B, Action 1, needs to be ,.placed with the followin~
"Through a formal public process involving the organizations identified
in Policy 4, develop criteria to be used when the City considers granting or
participating in the granting of financial incentives to any particular firm
in a targetted industry. The criteria shall include natural resource
efficiency, pollution minimization, a living social wage, and provision of
day care to employees. A clawback provision shall be incorporated in any
incentive agreement."

Re;
Economic Development Policies, Strategies, and Actions
On your August 15, 1995, agenda is a resolution adopting the "Economic Development Policies,
Strategies, and Actions for the City of Iowa City". Once approved by the City Oouncil, this
document will be used by the City Council, the City Manager's Office, and the Department of
Planning and Community Development to guide the City's economic development activities.
Specifically, we would begin working on the attached list of activities during Fiscal Year 1996.
Given that this list is fairly ambitious, the Council may wish to prioritize these items.
Over a year ago, the City Council began discussing the City's economic development policy.
After many work session discussions, staff prepared for Council review a document containing
proposed economic development policies, strategies, and actions. At the Council's direction
copies of this document, along with a memo outlining the concepts of sustainable development,
were sent to various community organizations and individuals. In your last work session packet,
you were provided copies of the comments we have received. An additional commentary has
been received and is enclosed in your packet. At your August 14, 1995, work session, you will
have the opportunity to discuss any changes you would like made to the document.

easement for use of public right-of-way, to permit installation of the warning
