The commission recommended approval of a rezoning from RS-5 to OPDH-5 for Village
Green, Part XVI and XVII at its August 20 meeting. The City Council is currently considering
the rezoning and preliminary plat of Village Green, Part XVI and XVII. It is anticipated that the
Council will approve the rezoning and preliminary plat at its meeting on December 1, 1998.
The applicant has now requested final plat approval of Lots 44 and 45 of Village Green, Part
XVI. Final plat also includes Wellington Drive from its current terminus to its intersection with
Scott Boulevard. The final plat does not include Village Green Part XVII, Lots 46 and 47 and a
portion of Village Road, which were shown on the preliminary plat. It is anticipated that these
areas will be final platted at a later date.
ANALYSIS:
The final plat as submitted is in general compliance with the preliminary plat currently being
reviewed. The final plat also is in general compliance with the City's subdivision regulations.
Deficiencies and discrepancies are noted at the end of this report.
Legal papers and construction drawings have been submitted and are being reviewed by
staff. These must be submitted and approved by the Public Works and City Attorney's office
prior to Council consideration of the final plat.
Because of the high water table in this area, the legal papers for previous parts of Village
Green contained requirements for a private tile system to drain the area to allow the
construction of dwellings with basements. Similar stipulations should be contained in the
legal papers for Village Green Part XVI.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the final plat of Village Green, Part XVI, be approved subject to legal by staff prior to Council consideratio

Recommendations regarding Police Citizens' Review Board (PCRB) Standard
Operating Procedures and Guidelines
22
On November 13, 1998, we issued a memorandum outlining our recommended changes to
the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's) proposed by the PCRB. It appears that the City
Attorney's Office and PCRB are in agreement with the proposed changes, with the following
exceptions:
This Office recommended that the SOP's be amended to require that legal counsel to
the PCRB attend all meetings. The PCRB has requested, and we agree, that the SOP's
be amended to require attendance by Board Counsel "to the extent practicable". This
is reasonable and will allow for unanticipated absences of legal counsel.
The PCRB does not agree with our recommendation that the Complainant not be invited
to appear and present testimony when a complaint is being reviewed for the limited
purpose of summary dismissal (i.e. for not involving an Iowa City Police Officer or not
being timely filed). For the reasons outlined in our prior memo, we continue to
recommend that the complainant not be invited to participate in this hearing. Again,
we believe it is unrealistic that a discussion of the timeliness of a complaint will not
include discussion of the merits of the matter, and we find that the likelihood of
tainting the complaint investigation process or an officer's reputation outweighs any
potential impact to the complainant's opportunity for redress.
Since our discussion regarding our recommended changes to the SOP's, Chief
Winkelhake has notified the PCRB that all reports to the Board will use officer
identifiers such as "Officer #1, Officer #2, etc", which are not assigned to a particular
officer. The previous numbering system, whereby a particular number was applied to
an officer and that number was used in each complaint, allowed the officer to be
identified by the PCRB during the complaint investigation and deliberation process and
allowed the press to identify an officer against whom more than one complaint had
been filed. The PCRB originally proposed that officer's names be redacted from the
original complaint prior to transmission to the Board. Our recommended changes to
the SOP's simply added that "other identifying information" (such a physical
appearance) also be deleted from the complaint. It appears that the PCRB's inability
to identify an officer during the deliberation process has now become an issue, as the
PCRB believes this information is necessary to assess the credibility of an officer's
statement. It is our understanding that in light of the new numbering system the PCRB
now desires to amend the originally proposed SOP'sto provide that the officer's names
and other identifying information will not be deleted from the complaint. We strongly
disagree with this change. In fact, we are concerned that such information can taint
the investigative process. In addition, we note that an officer under review must
authorize the release of their statement to the PCRB, thus the issue of an officer's
credibility will only be relevant when the officer authorizes the same. In short, for
reasons of confidentiality and avoiding the creation of prejudice and bias, we continue
to strongly recommend that all information which may identify an officer be redacted
from the initial complaint.
We understand that the PCRB will request deferral of the SOP's until after the joint
meeting between the City Council and the PCRB. We have expected that Council and
the PCRB will discuss the Chief's new numbering system and its ramifications at the
planned joint meeting. This Office will have additional comment at that time. We
believe, however, that the SOP's need to be put in place now as the discussion at the
joint meeting will likely involve a number of matters and possible ordinance changes.
If the results of that meeting requires changes to the SOP's, so be it. The ordinance
requires the adoption of procedural rules approved by Council, and clearly establishing
such procedures is particularly important for a board of this nature. A procedural
framework should be put in place now and amended later if necessary.
A redlined copy of our proposed amendments to the Board's originally proposed SOP's is
attached. We will see you at your work session on January 11 to discuss these issues. In
the meantime, if you have any questions or require a copy of the previously distributed
material, please feel free to call either one of us.

POLICE CITIZENS REVIEW BOARD
A Board of the City of Iowa City
410 East Washington Street
Iowa City IA 52240-1826
(319)356-5413
January 8, 1998
Mayor Ernest Lehman
Dear Mayor Lehman:
It is the understanding of the PCRB that the City Attorney is recommending
certain changes in the PCRB Standard Operating Procedures and Guidelines
to the Council. The Board strongly disagrees with some of her
recommendations. While these changes may seem to be merely technical, in
the Board's view they speak to the very core of its responsibilities under the
ordinance.
The PCRB fervently urges the City Council to defer the PCRB SOP's' vote
until the Board has the opportunity to meet with you at our scheduled joint
meeting on February 11, 1999. The Board would be pleased to make
themselves available at an earlier date if that is more convenient with the
Council. It was the Board's original intent that it have this conversation with

Sales Tax Policy
As required by law, the ballot proposition establishes the purposes for which the sales tax revenue may be
expended. The following statement reflects the position of the 1998-99 City Council and is a statement of
policy only. This Council and future Councils may choose to amend this policy statement as long as the
changes in policy and resulting expenditures are allowable under the language of the ballot proposition.
1 .) 25% of the sales tax revenue will go into the City's water fund operating budget. The purpose of this
new revenue will be to stabilize water rates with the goal of maintaining water rates at their December
1998 level for a period of no less than eight years.
2.) 40% of the sales tax revenue will be used for the purpose of financing capital improvement projects on
a pay-as-you-go or debt service "borrowing" payment, to be determined by the City Council. The initial
capital improvement projects to be financed from the sales tax will be the renovation and expansion of
the existing Public Library and construction of a Community Events Center.
The Library and Community Events Center are planned for construction on what is known as the last
downtown urban renewal parcel. It is now a parking lot immediately south of the Public Library. The
estimated cost of the Library/Center project is $22.5 million in 1997 dollars.
Other capital projects are planned as part of the ongoing City capital improvement plan, and projects
to be financed with the sales tax including collaborative projects with other area local jurisdictions will
be identified.
3.) 10% of the sales tax revenue will be used for operations and maintenance cost for the Library and
Community Events Center. The Library and Community Events Center will need additional full-time
personnel.
Furnishings, computer, audio-visual aide materials, etc. and other capital replacement reserves may
also be financed by the sales tax. These current costs, if financed by sales tax revenue, would relieve
the general fund of this current property tax obligation.
An operating subsidy will be required for the Community Events Center. This subsidy is intended to
provide funding to help offset any shortfall in revenues over the operating budget expenditures for the
Center. Upon payment of the expenses for operating the Library and for the operational subsidy of the
Event Center, any additional monies generated by the 10% sales tax contribution can be directed
toward financing of community activities and events such as local festivals.
4.) 10% of the sales tax revenue will be directed to support public transit and paratransit. The current
Transit budget includes the operational and capital costs for a fixed-route system and paratransit
services. The sales tax revenue will be used to provide for enhanced service, such as additional
and/or modified fixed routes. Funds will also be used for reduction in direct fares, passes, and other
discounted services. Funds may reduce the General Fund contribution to the Transit Fund.
5.) 10% of the sales tax revenue will be used to finance police officers, firefighters and/or other public
safety personnel, as well as capital projects for public safety purposes. These capital projects could
include new fire stations, new police or fire training facilities, and other capital projects directly related
to public safety. The number of new personnel and/or capital projects will be determined by the City
Council during its annual budget review. Community policing has been considered a priority.
6.) 5% of the sales tax revenue will be directed to assist in the finance of area human services.
The 5% of the sales tax revenue will maintain current funding of area human services and provide
additional funding for those services.
