Iowa City, IA 52246
Dear Mr. Botts:
Thank you for your November 6 letter regarding school zone safety. School zone safety is of
utmost importance in Iowa City, and we are interested in making improvements where they are
needed. The current system of school zone speed limits and school crossings was developed
by a safety committee with representatives the City, the school district, and parents of school
children.
Over the past year, the City's Traffic Engineering Planner has been collecting data in school
zones, observing traffic, and investigating alternatives. A report will be submitted to the Council
within the next year identifying how the existing system is working and if changes should be
considered.
Your comments and ideas will be considered as part of this process. If you have questions, feel
free to call Doug Ripley, Traffic Engineering Planner, at 356-5254.

I,
CITY OF I0 I/V,a CITY
On behalf of the City of Iowa City I would like to express the City's support of the Iowa Arts
Festival's application for use of the Pentacrest for part of its 1999 event. Given the location
and scope of the City's 1999 downtown streetscape construction project, the Arts Festival will
be unable to hold its annual event in its usual downtown location. We believe, however, that it
is important to keep this community event in the downtown area.
As the enclosed phasing plan indicates, a considerable portion of the downtown streetscape
will be under construction during the 1999 construction season. In conjunction with the
streetscape project, the City will also be replacing a water main in the College Street leg of City
Plaza. The streetscape and water main projects will disrupt for a considerable amount of time
next summer the area in which the iowa Arts Festival typically holds its event.
Supporting community events in the downtown area is an important part of the City's
Downtown Strategy Plan. As you may be aware, the Community presently sponsors four
significant community events each summer in the downtown area. They include the Iowa Arts
Festival in June, the Jazz Festival in July, Irving B. Weber Day in August, and the Friday Night
Concert Series throughout the summer. The City is doing its best to make accommodations to
ensure that each of the events will be able to take place downtown during next year's
construction season. The Iowa Arts Festival would be the only event for which we would need
the University's assistance.
We look forward to working with the University on ensuring that this event is once again a
successful community event. As the University, the City, and the Iowa Arts Festival work out
the details for this event, I would ask that you work with the City's downtown coordinator,
David Schoon, 356-5236. Thank you for considering the Iowa Arts Festival's application, and
we hope you are able to grant them permission to use the Pentacrest for this one year.
Sincerely,
~ins
City Manager

TCI Cable System Upgrade Completion
Attached is a copy of the summary portion of a report from Rice, Williams Associates
verifying the completion of the TCI local cable system upgrade. The report also includes 41
pages of technical data which you are welcome to review if you wish. I can make a copy
available to you.
In addition to having our consultant review engineering drawings and proof of performance
testing, we attempted through advertising to encourage local subscribers to report any
problems with their cable service which might indicate shortcomings or failures in the
upgraded system. We had few responses and most were due to the subscribed s
equipment rather than to the cable operator' s service.
Based on the above, it is reasonable to conclude that the upgrade is complete and in
compliance with the required standards set forth in our franchise agreement. We have no
reason to believe that there was not compliance as of August 26, 1998, the date given by
TCI as the date of completion.
Actual completion occurred approximately 180 days after the original deadline of February
26, 1998. TCI was thus assessed liquidated damages of about $45,000. Of this amount,
nearly 815,000 was paid to our consultant, Rice, Williams Associates, to assist us in
effecting, monitoring, and evaluating the upgrade throughout the planning and construction
phases. In addition, considerable staff time was spent on this issue. The City Attorney and
her staff, Drew Shaffer and I were the most directly involved. Our time alone would easily
equal and probably exceed in value (salary and benefits) the amount paid to our consultant.
The liquidated damages revenue has been receipted into the Cable TV Division operating
fund to offset the expenses incurred. The remainder is not specifically earmarked for any
special purpose. It will be carried to help meet future operating expenses.

RWA requested the City to have TCI forward the most recent proof-of-performance testing
conducted by TCI. Mr. Dennis Martel, Technical Operations Manager, provided the results and
indicated his availability to answer any questions.
The FCC proof-of-performance testing was done during October and November of 1998.
The technician performing the tests was well qualified and the equipment used, ttP Spectrum
Analyzer, Wavetek Sweep/SLM and a Trilithic Video Sweep Generator had been appropriately
calibrated within reasonable time periods.
Test Parameters
Technical performance measurements conducted by TCI and reviewed by RWA are in the
appendix and include:
Carrier-to-Noise Measurement (C/N). Excessive noise can result
ii'om system operating levels that are too low, or from improperly
operating equipment. As cable signals pass through cascaded
amplifiers, each amplifier contributes a small amount of noise to the
signals. The carrier-to-noise measurement allows evaluation of the
amplifier cascade up to the test location.
Hum Modulation is an interference with the signal from power line
fi'equcncies or any other low frequency modulations. This test was
performed on selected channels at each of the evaluated test points.
The hum modulation is read directly on the spectrum analyzer.
Composite Triple Beat was measured with the spectrum analyzer on
selected system channels at each examined test point. It is the third
order distortion resulting from all of the combinations of any three
channels mixing.
The results of the October and November field tests were compared to current FCC
operational performance requirements. The combined results are shown in the following table.
Test Measurement
Description
Carrier-to-Noise (min)
Hum Modulation (max)
Carrier-to-Composite
Triple Beat (min)
Comparison With FCC Standards
TCI
FCC Standards Worst Case Values
43 dB 49.4 dB
3.0% 2.1%
51 dB 57.3 dB
As can be seen, the worst case values exceed the FCC minimum requirements.
In addition to the above measures, RWA reviewed the aural center frequency of the aural
carrier. The aural center frequency nmst be 4.5 MHz + 5 KHz above the frequency of the visual
carrier at the output of the modulating or processing equipment. TCI proof-of-performance on
aural center frequency show the system meets or exceeds the FCC requirements.

Census 2000 Committee Update
Census 2000 preparations are underway. Thank you for continuing your interest in
participating on the Iowa City Census 2000 Committee. We still plan a fonnal kick-off
to activate our local Census 2000 Committee in spring, 1999.
City staff has completed the first phase of the Census 2000 Address Review Program,
verifying local street style addresses for the actual Census 2000. This was a city
administrative requirement mandated by the Federal Census 2000 office. City staff
members brainstormed on how to best verify addresses throughout Iowa City and decided
to use the city's refuse collection crews. City staff volunteers were recruited to ride with
city refuse collection crews (four refuse trucks collect each day of the week for a total of
20 routes) and to actually walk routes to verify city addresses. As a result over 5300
addresses modifications were made to the original list.
I participated in a Regional Census 2000 training for second phase on December 15. The
phase will allow verification of rural route and post office box addresses within Iowa
City. It is anticipated the report should be received in late January. We are required to
have that review completed within 6 weeks of receipt of the report.
I will keep you informed as to the outcome of the second phase of the address review,
and look forward to working with you on the Iowa City Census 2000 Committee. Thank

Dear Jim:
After review of the construction plans for the proposed 1999 downtown streetscape
project and discussions with city staff members involved with implementation of the
project, we have unfortunately concluded that we will be unable to accommodate the
butterfly garden next year in the Linn Street Parking Lot/City Plaza area.
As the enclosed phasing plan indicates, a considerable portion of the downtown
streetscape will be under construction during the 1999 construction season. In
conjunction with the streetscape project, the City will also be replacing a water main in the
College Street leg of City Plaza. The streetscape and water main projects will disrupt for a
considerable amount of time next summer the area in which the butterfly garden typically
locates.
The City is willing to consider other possible locations in the downtown for the butterfly
garden. One possible location may be the driveway between Chauncey Swan Park and the
Chauncey Swan Parking Garage, and I am sure you may have ideas for other possible
locations. Please let us know where you may want to locate the butterfly garden, and we
will do our best to try to accommodate your request. If you have any questions or
comments, please do not hesitate to give me a call (356-5236).

Re: Corrugated cardboard ban and recycling truck purchase
As directed by the City Council at their December 14 work session, staff will pursue the
corrugated cardboard recommendations summarized in my memo of December 4. The landfill
will identify large loads of corrugated cardboard at both the landfill scale house and on the
working face of the landfill. The drivers of the vehicles will be handed information on corrugated
cardboard recycling developed by JCCOG. The landfill and JCCOG staff will also begin
planning for a pilot construction waste separation program at both residential and commercial
building sites. I will provide you and the council with updated reports throughout 1999 as to the
flow of waste at the landfill once the disposal fees are reduced. It is hoped we will recover most
of the waste stream we have lost.
I will continue to work with the curbside recycling collection staff as they prepare for the
collection of mixed paper and magazines. The addition of mixed paper and magazines to the
curbside recycling program will most likely take place in the fall of 1999 due to the time required
to acquire replacement recycling trucks.
If anyone has any questions, please give me a call at 356-5235.

Dear Chief Winkelhake:
The recognition of academic excellence is an integral part of the Administrative Officers Course. The
University of Louisville def'mes several types of accomplishments as worth of distinction. One such award of
excellence is that of "Dean's Scholar" granted to the student who earns the letter grade of "A" in each of their
courses. This status is achieved by only a small proportion of our students.
Sergeant Michael T. Lord has earned recognition as a "Dean's Scholar." We congratulate you and Sergeant
Lord for his outstanding performance as a member of the 100th Administrative Officers Course. It is our
request that you present this letter and certificate to Sergeant Lord and make it a part of his personnel record.
We are grateful for the support and confidence you have shown in the Southern Police Institute by providing
us with the opportunity to instruct this outstanding officer. It is our hope that you will continue that support
by providing a similar opportunity for others under your command to participate in our future programs. Your
support helps us achieve our mission of advancing the professional preparation, knowledge, and skills of
current and future law enforcement administrators.
Please feel flee to contact us if you have any suggestions that would assist us in our mission.

Item for joint govemments meeting in North Liberty on January 13, 1999: agreement
between Coralville and Iowa City regarding annexations and extraterritorial review of
subdivision plats
Dudng the last six months we have been attempting to work out a new agreement between
Coralville and Iowa City regarding the overlapping two-mile extraterritorial review area between
Coralville and Iowa City. The annexation of the Barrington Heights Subdivision by Coralville voided
the previous agreement. The matter of contention that we have been unable to resolve is the
overlapping two mile extraterritorial review area between Coralville and Iowa City that is not part of
either city's designated long range growth area. This area of contention is labeled area A in the
attached diagram.
The area of contention was part of Iowa City's review area under the previous agreement. Coralville
has subsequently amended its Community Plan to extend its long-range growth boundary to
Dubuque Street. Iowa City, with the adoption of its new comprehensive plan, extended its long-range
growth boundary north to Rapid Creek. These two actions reduced Area A in size from its
dimensions in the previous agreement.
The City of Coralville approved the division of extraterritorial review authority in Area A between
Coralville and Iowa City along the river; west of the river would be under Coralville's review and east
of the dver would be under Iowa City's review. This was unacceptable to the Iowa City City Council,
and they have discussed either retaining Iowa City review over the entire area, or joint review where
a county subdivision would be subject to review by both the Coralville City Council and the Iowa City
City Council.
Recent discussions between Coralville and Iowa City staffpersons have suggested another possible
compromise: retain Iowa City review over the entire area, and require urban design standards for
streets, sidewalks, and stormwater for any county subdivision. Water and sewer would be assessed
upon annexation. This is consistent with what is required in the 28(E) agreement between Coralville
and the County.
It should be noted that until an agreement is executed between Coralville and Iowa City, according
to state law a subdivision in the overlapping two mile extraterritorial review area is reviewed by
whichever city is closest. I will be in attendance at your January 13 meeting if there are any
questions.

POLICE CITIZENS REVIEW BOARD
A Board of the City of Iowa City
December 18, 1998
R.J. Winkelhake, Chief of Police
Iowa City Police Department
Dear ChiefWinkelhake:
This correspondence is the result of our meeting with you on November 19, 1998,
attended by Steve Atkins, Sarah Holecek and representatives of the Police Citizens
Review Board. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a concern some members of
the Police Department may have regarding the release of names to the press or public of
police officers mentioned in citizen complaints. We agreed to send a letter to you
explaining the procedure followed by the PCRB with the understanding it would be
disseminated to all officers in the Iowa City Police Department.
As you are aware, when a complaint is received, the original is filed in the City Clerk's
Office with a copy forwarded to the Chief of Police. Shortly after the PCRB was formed,
the Board decided it did not wish to use or know the names of officers mentioned in the
complaint. Therefore, the complaint copies sent to Board members have all references to
police officers' names and badge numbers deleted. Instead, you assign a number code to
each officer. Any names of officers made public are provided by the complainant, the
complainant's attorney or the officer, not the PCRB.
We, of course, do not release officers' names if a complaint is not sustained. The Board
has also chosen not to release the name of an officer in a sustained complaint although
the city ordinance allows it to do so. As is commonly known, all deliberations
concerning a complaint are conducted in closed sessions. If a name clearing hearing is
held, that is also held in a closed session.
After the PCRB report is received by the City Council, it then becomes a matter of public
record. However, even at that point the PCRB does not provide information to the news
media except the public report itself. Nor does the PCRB release names of parties
involved or any other information that may lead to the identification of the parties. As
can happen, the news media may misinterpret the public report or report the
complainant's statements only. This is beyond our control.
The Board does not release the names of officers involved in complaints we review. This
has been our policy from the outset and we have adhered to it without exception.
Sincerely,
Leah Cohen, PCRB Chair

IOWA CITY CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS - 410 E. WASHINGTON STREET
Present: Keith Ruff, Nancy Ostrognai, Dale Helling, Orville Townsend, Kevin Burt
Due to the small number of members present, the formal agenda was not followed.
Four of the five members present are also members of the Snow Removal Task Force. This was
the only item discussed. There was consensus that we should maintain the effort to do something
to help resolve this problem in the community. Various ideas were offered including the possibility
of an established organization applying for Block Grant funding to help organize and operate a
program, encouraging organized neighborhoods to operate a program within their defined
boundaries, soliciting businesses, schools, or other organizations to provide volunteers as a
project, and/or perhaps pursuing only an educational and informational program for the first year.
It was agreed that the stumbling blocks seem to be trying to identify a resource to perform the
clearinghouse function as well as coordinating volunteers according to neighborhood, geographic
proximity, etc. It was recognized that the office of the Neighborhood Coordinator could serve as a
valuable conduit in helping us reach the neighborhood organizations.
At the end of the discussion it was agreed that we will move forward in three areas. The first will
be to contact neighborhood organizations and see if there are people who are willing to volunteer
to remove snow. The second is to draft a form letter which will be sent to occupants/owners of
residences or businesses where snow is not removed. This will be a letter reminding them that
there are individuals who experience limited mobility and who are inconvenienced, and asking
them to be more cooperative in removing snow. The third effod will involve putting together an
informational and educational effort and to use a variety of resources to reach out to the
community.
The next meeting will be on Tuesday, January 5, 1999.
Meeting adjourned.

Possible Concurrent Projects between Iowa City Transit and Johnson County
Seats
I have recently begun to have discussions .with Iowa City Transit regarding the development of
deviated fixed route service and a possible maintenance contract.
The discussions with regard to developing evening and mid-day deviated fixed route service
have just begun and there is much research and planning which must be done before discussing
the possibility of a contract for this type of service. However, what this service might provide
for us is a means to reduce the number of vehicles operating in mid-day and evening thus
reducing the amount of slack time caused by the number of ride requests for that time of the day.
Therefore, with the development of deviated fixed ronte service we (the cities and Johnson
County) begin developing flexible transit service for Johnson County disabled riders and a more
efficient paratransit service.
I have indicated to the City that I intend to put out a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the
maintenance of the paratransit vehicles. They have indicated that they would be responding.
This may also go hand-in-hand with the deviated fixed route service because the increased
service hours. Regardless of who provides the deviated fixed route, provisions will need to be
made regarding the increased maintenance of the vehicles.
I will keep you abreast of the progress and discussions regarding these topics. If you have any
questions at this time, please feel free to contact me at 339-6128 to discuss at your convenience.

BOARD OF REVIEW
GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES
The Board of Review is established and governed by the Code of Iowa, Chapters 441.31 to
441.44, for the purpose of equalizing assessments by raising or lowering individual assessments
as established by the assessor. The Board also makes the final rulings each year on exempt
properties.
The Iowa Department of Revenue & Finance issues to the Board of Review a manual to guide
them in their work, along with forms for the original meeting, daily meetings and the final meeting.
The Board must also file with the State Director of Revenue & Finance within 15 days of
adjournment, a report on their session. The Board's meetings are subject to the open meetings
law. Since it is extremely important that the Board keep accurate minutes of its proceedings, the
Board has a separate clerk to keep these minutes. The Board must also include in their written
notice to the petitioner the specific reasons for their actions.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN FISCAL YEAR 1998
The following is a report on the activities of the Iowa City Board of Review since adjournment on
May 23, 1997.
· The Iowa City Board of Review met on three days dudng the period of May 1 to May 21, 1998.
The Board received a total of ten petitions. These have been broken down into classification
along with their outcome, and listed below.
9 Residential 8 Upheld I Denied
I Commercial 1 Upheld 0 Denied
0 Agricultural 0 Upheld 0 Denied
_0 Industrial 0 Upheld 0 Denied
10 Total 9 Upheld I Denied
· In addition to these ten petitions, the Board reduced eight residential and raised four
residential properties at the request of the assessor or on their own volition. These were due
to late inspections of estimated listing of properties, or due to comparable properties being
changed by the Board.
· By the filing deadline of June 20, 1998, no appeals were filed in District Court.
· Three court cases were set for tdal dudng FY98 and have been continued to FY99. Two
cases were dismissed and two were settled in FY98.
· Iowa City received equalization orders on agricultural property for 1997, but no protests were
received. Therefore, the Board did not have to meet in equalization session.
PLANS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999
Since the Board of Review hears only protests brought to them by others, there is no way to
predict the amount of work for next year. However, next year is a reassessment year, and the
workload is expected to be much heavier than the session just finished.

POLICE CITIZENS .REVIEW BOARD
GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES
The PCRB reviews Police Department investigations into allegations of misconduct lodged
against police officers in a fair, though and accurate manner, conducting further investigation of
the complaint when the Board deems it necessary, and issuing a public report which explains why
and the extent to which the complaint is sustained or not sustained; maintains a central registry of
complaints against swom police officers and issues annual reports regarding the disposition of the
complaints to the City Council; and, reviews police policies, procedures and practices and
recommends changes to the City Council when the Board deems it appropriate. To achieve these
purposes, the Board has complied with Chapter 8 of the Iowa City Code, the Board's By-Laws,
and the proposed Police Citizens Review Board's Standard Operating Procedures and Guidelines.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1998
During its first year of operation, the Board held 43. regular and special meetings, generally
averaging two to three hours in length. Professor David Baldus, University of Iowa, College of
Law, appeared before the Board to discuss methodologies in the development of studies of
police issues such as use of force and age and race-based traffic stops. The Board plans to
proceed with further study of these issues.
· In compliance with the ordinance creating the Board, an independent legal counsel was
hired to furnish legal advice and guidance.
· Board members and its administrative assistant attended the Iowa City Citizens Police
Academy for a twelve-week program to better understand police policies, procedures and
practices.
· PCRB by-laws were adopted.
· Established PCRB standard operating procedures and guidelines and forwarded them to
the City Council for approval.
· Held its first community forum at the public library. Various issues raised at the forum have
helped the Board to determine its direction in bringing forth police policy matters for further
study and public discussion at regular monthly meetings.
· Revised the PCRB complaint form to make it simpler.
· Created a PCRB brochure to help educate citizens.
· Established mediation procedures and guidelines
· Recommended that the City Council change the period in which complaints may be filed
from 60 days to 90 days from the alleged misconduct.
· Recommended that the City Council change the period of time to complete investigations
and public reports from 30 days to 45 days from receipt of the Chief's report.
· During the course of the year, the Board scheduled two name-clearing hearings. One was
held with the officer in attendance, and the other was not held because the officer did not
attend.
· During the period covered by this report, mediation was requested seven times, by an
individual who filed seven separate complaints. Mediation was not completed because (1)
complainant chose not to follow through, (2) complainant withdrew from the process, and
(3) the request came after the Board completed its review.
43
COMPLAINT RESOLUTIONS
The Board received twenty-four complaints, seven in 1997 and seventeen to-date in 1998. The
Board issued its public report on 19 of these complaints, and five complaints are pending. Of
the 19 complaints for which the Board completed it review, 56 allegations were listed on the
citizen complaint forms. Of these 56 allegations, one was sustained by the Board and the
remainder were not sustained.
Recommendations for improvement in police policy, procedure or conduct were made in four of
the Board's public reports to the City Council. One of the recommendations was contained in a
report by the Police Chief and three were the result of the Board's review.
In an early meeting, the Board decided it did not wish to use or know the names of officers
involved in a complaint. Therefore, all references to police officer names were deleted on the
complaint copy to board members, and number codes were subsequently assigned by the
Chief. Seventeen ICPD officers were identified in the 24 complaints identified in this report.
The Police Chief (no assigned number) was named in four complaints.
CONCERNS OF THE BOARD:
There now exist two distinct methods for a person to file a complaint about the Iowa City
Police Department. The first is to fill out an ICPD complaint form and file it with the ICPD.
These complaints do not come to the PCRB for review. The second is to fill out a PCRB
complaint form and file it with either the ICPD or the PCRB. These complaints do come to
the PCRB for action.
Both forms are available at the ICPD; which form is given to a complainant or filled out and
filed, is completely outside the control of the PCRB.
The PCRB has no knowledge of how many complaints are filed on the ICPD forms, and so
has an incomplete picture of the number of complaints filed concerning the ICPD.
Accordingly, its annual report to the City Council must be presumed to be incomplete and
may be misleading as to the overall number of complaints about the ICPD.
The PCRB will be better able to determine the pattern of allegations of police misconduct
and to more accurately fulfill its duty to report to the City Council if a procedure is
implemented to give the PCRB access to the total number of complaints filed, whether on
an ICPD or a PCRB complaint form.
The ordinance imposes very limited authority on the PCRB. The PCRB does not review
complaints; it reviews the Police Chief's investigation of those complaints. The ordinance
requires that review to be deferential. The PCRB can only recommend changes in the
Chief's reports if it concludes that those findings are unsupported by substantial evidence;
are unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious, or are contrary to law. The PCRB has some
concerns about its ability to review complaints in light of community standards given its
deferential standard of review. The PCRB will continue to monitor this situation.
The Board believes it is important to receive adequate information from the Police
Department's investigation to allow it to track the allegations of misconduct concerning
particular (individual) officers. To this end, it attempts to chart this information in its own
reports to the City Council. The Board considers it essential that it continue to receive
detailed reports from the Chief identifying officers by code number.
44
PLANS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999
· Continue systematic review of Police Department policies, procedures and practices.
· Continue to investigate complaints and issue public reports to the City Council.
· Pursue resolution of the issues related to the existence and use of two distinct complaint
forms.
· Continue to hold community forums, including forums at neighborhood centers and schools,
to identify community standards and concerns.
· Continue to review the ordinance establishing the PCRB, and consider recommendations to
the City Council for modification.

Jeff Davidson, Executive Director
Item for joint govemments meeting in North Liberty on January 13, 1999: agreement
between Coralville and Iowa City regarding annexations and extraterritorial review of
subdivision plats
Dudng the last six months we have been attempting to work out a new agreement between
Coralville and Iowa City regarding the overlapping two-mile extraterritorial review area between
Coralville and Iowa City. The annexation of the Barrington Heights Subdivision by Corelville voided
the previous agreement. The matter of contention that we have been unable to resolve is the
overlapping two mile extraterritorial review area between Coralville and Iowa City that is not part of
either city's designated long range growth area. This area of contention is labeled area A in the
attached diagram.
The area of contention was part of Iowa City's review area under the previous agreement. Coralville
has subsequently amended its Community Plan to extend its long-range growth boundary to
Dubuque Street. Iowa City, with the adoption of its new comprehensive plan, extended its long-range
growth boundary north to Rapid Creek. These two actions reduced Area A in size from its
dimensions in the previous agreement.
The City of Coralville approved the division of extreterritorlal review authority in Area A between
Coralville and Iowa City along the dyer, west of the river would be under Coralville's review and east
of the river would be under Iowa City's review. This was unacceptable to the Iowa City City Council,
and they have discussed either retaining Iowa City review over the entire area, or joint review where
a county subdivision would be subject to review by both the Coralville City Council and the Iowa City
City Council.
Recent discussions between Coralville and Iowa City staffpersons have suggested another possible
compromise: retain Iowa City review over the entire area, and require urban design standards for
streets, sidewalks, and stormwater for any county subdivision. Water and sewer would be assessed
upon annexation. This is consistent with what is required in the 28(E) agreement between Coralville
and the County.
It should be noted that until an agreement is executed between Coralville and Iowa City, according
to state law a subdivision in the overlapping two mile extraterritorial review area is reviewed by
whichever city is closest. I will be in attendance at your January 13 meeting if there are any
questions.

Cortney Daniels, Chair, Riverfront and Natural Areas Commission
Re: Flood Plain Development Policy
In a May, 1997 memo from Bob Miklo to Steve Atkins, Miklo suggested that the Riverfront &
Natural Areas Commission (RNAC) review' the Flood Plain Management Ordinance. Since then,
the Commission has invited several guests to speak on various topics related to flooding at our
regular meetings and has recently reviewed the Flood Plain Management Ordinance.
Commission members agreed with the conclusion reached by the Department of Public Works
that buildings constructed in the flood plain that conformed to the Flood Plain Management
Ordinance were protected by flooding during the flood of 1993 (a 100-year flood event).
However, the Commission has concerns beyond those in the Ordinance about preservation and
development along the Iowa River corridor and its tributaries, as elaborated in the Stanley Plan
of 1975 and the Iowa River Corridor Study Update of 1993, both of which the City of Iowa City
adopted. RNAC relies on these plans as the basis for its vision of development.
The Stanley Plan covered a vadety of activities occurring along the Iowa River, including:
protection of natural features (including riverbank protection); protection of historical features or
buildings; minimizing structures; maximizing parkland; promoting passive and other recreational
uses; especially trail development; preservation of the view of the river; and bringing the public
to the area, while protecting them from hazards associated with it. Some of these issues have
been addressed through the development of ordinances, specifically, the Sensitive Areas
Ordinance and the Flood Plain Management Ordinance. In 1993, RNAC completed the Iowa
River Corddor update, which focused on other goals and objectives related to river corridor
development. They are:
Goals:
Maximization of the recreational capacity of the river and its tributaries and of the flood plain,
· Provision of a route for bicyclists and pedestrians, and
· Maximization of the scenic potential of the dver and adjoining flood plain.
Objectives:
To provide a greenway furnishing uninterrupted walking and cycling along the river and flood
plain.
· To improve public access along the river and flood plain.
· To provide linkages between the Iowa River and parks, schools, neighborhoods, and places
of business.
RNAC continues to promote these goals and objectives. Over the last five years the
Commission has seen the continuing realization of its goal for trail development as the Iowa
River Corridor Trail and connecting trails have been and are being built. The current
2
Commission is concerned with planning and development in the flood plain that will realize all
the goals and objectives as stated above, based upon its impact on:
sensitive features,
· habitat preservation, and
· the environment.
Optimally, RNAC would prefer that no permanent buildings, except recreational buildings, be
constructed in the flood plain. However, the Commission does understand the implications of
such a strict policy. Therefore, to facilitate river protection and development consistent with the
goals and objectives for new development and redevelopment, RNAC recommends.
· Promoting landbanking by giving 'incentives to landowners to use the land along the river in
sensitive ways and to covenant the land so as to prevent its future development,
· Incorporating opportunities for access to and along the river,
· Arranging buildings to provide visual penetration to and from the river,
· Orienting parking, storage lots, and other similar uses away from the river or screening them
from view,
· Mounding, landscaping and/or architectural treatments that will buffer and screen
undesirable elements from view,
· Providing a minimum natural buffer of 100 feet between the river and any development
fronting it,
· Encouraging planned unit developments with a minimum size of 5 acres for a mixed-
residential development and 10 acres for other mixed use developments,
· Providing adequate emergency vehicle access above the 100 year flood level when
residential development does occur,
· Encouraging landscaping (particularly planting of trees) by requiring landscape plans for all
proposed development,
· Promoting Brownfields assessments, and
· Purchasing land, when it makes sense, adjacent to sensitive or natural areas that come
available from time to time for purchase when consistent with the plan to protect and
enhance the river and its tributaries.
In short, the Riverfront and Natural Areas Commission believes that development in the flood
plain must be compatible with the natural and sensitive features, must be visually pleasing, must
encourage development consistent with, and protective of, the environment and of the public in
accordance with the Stanley Plan and the Iowa River Corridor Update. We also believe that the
parties involved in the approval of any building in the flood plain should follow these principles
by developing a policy that adheres to them.

Re: Motor vehicle/deer accidents 1998
During 1998, the Iowa City Police Department has investigated 50 motor vehicle/deer
accidents. The total property damage estimate resulting from these accidents is
~§~i870.00. In nine cases, no vehicle was found at the scene so a damage estimate was
not given. The lowa City Police Department investigated 28 motor vehicle/deer
accidents during 1997. The total damage estimate was $32,505.00. A break down of
where tho accidents occurred in 1998 is:
· Interstate 80 - Ten accidents, $9000.00 worth of damage. Two vehicles left the
scene before the officer arrived.
Highway 218 - Eight accidents, $12,250.00 worth of damage. Two vehicles left the
sc~ne before the officer arrived.
1100 blk. North Dubuque -Nine accidents, $7540.00 worth of damage. Two
vehicles left the scene.
Rochester from Rita Lyrm to the 3300 blk.- Five accidents, $5200.00 in damage.
One vehicle left the scene.
North Dubuque Street near Foster Road - Three accidents, $2500.00 worth of
damage.
· Foster Road - Two accidents, $1200.00 worth of damage.
· Prairie Du Chien- Three accidents, $5000.00 worth of damage. One vehicle left
the scene
Bristol- One accident, $2000.00 in damage
January 5, 1999
· Dodge and Govemor- One accident, $300.00 worth of damage
· Highway 6 and Riverside Drive - One accident and $500.00 in damage.
· Dubuque Road north of North Dodge Street - Two accidents, $5500.00 worth of
damage.
· 2100 blk. of Melrose Avenue - One accident and the vehicle left the scene.
· Mormon Trek and Melrose Avenue - One accident, $3000.00 worth of damage.

· Highway 6 near Bon Aim Mobile Home Court - One accident, $900 worth of
damage.
· North Dubuque and Interstate 80 - One accident with $980.00 worth of damage.

Dear Mr. Hartin,
We thought this article would be of interest to the USDA. A couple of months ego there
wee an article with quotes by 'wildlife Idologles' that the hunters should use restraint
in hunting bucks in Iowa. Now we am told that we shouldn"t be hunting does because
the herds have been over harvested.
Iowa City is planning to daughter 240 deer without adequate data On numbers, health
and clooumented deer/human conflicts This approach is a "rush to judgment' that has
long term mmifloai~ns. It appears the are too many contlloting opinions by wildlife
biologists that need to be clarified.
E. HD is aim taking its toll on the sOulhem deer population and was never taken into
conslderatlorf'when the decision wee made to kill the deer. How widespread Is the
EHD .outbreak? There are too many questions end too few answers. MuCh more data
must' be collected before an informed decision can be made.
It would benefit the city to wait until the deer herd is counted in April. 8Inca the DNR
has no vested interest in hunting In the city limPs the count should be fadrly curate.
Thank you for your consideration,

Re:
Budget Message
Fiscal Year 2000 to 2002 Proposed Three Year Financial Plan
To assist in the preparation of the three-year operating budget for the fiscal years 2000, 2001,
and 2002, we have relied upon extensive financial analysis work, much of it done during the
summer of 1997. This work included a ten-year financial history updated as a part of our
financial trend monitoring system; a ten-year financial projection based upon current state law,
with accompanying expense and revenue analysis; a ten-year City employment history, that is
the number of employees providing public services with specific attention directed to the impact
of new services or policies; and a years' plus worth of experience with respect to the financial
policy guidelines approved earlier by the City Council. I believe we have assembled a
comprehensive financial information package to assist in our budget preparation. This financial
information was not intended to deal with community political issues, but concentrate on our
financial history projections and trends.
We have had early success in fulfilling the financial policies of the City Council and this, coupled
with continued growth has allowed us to project a more favorable financial position. Our analysis
would indicate that some financial flexibility now exists within our General Fund budgets.
However, using this financial opportunity it is not without risk and will require caution. As you
are aware, we never know from year to year what legislative changes may be imposed by the
state government. Yet, we know risk can be equated to a calculated circumstance and if we
choose to proceed cautiously, both financially and politically, we can achieve quality public
services, fulfill our community's agenda of needs and interests, and do our best to assure a
political and financial foundation that can be carried forward and sustained by future generations
of Iowa Citians.
It is unknown what our new state leadership might do, but for the purposes of our budget
preparation, we believe no dramatic changes will occur. Financial regulations currently in place,
such as the loss of machinery and equipment taxation, limited to no growth in the
reimbursements by the state, our overall reliance on property tax as our financial foundation,
etc., these regulations and others we have assumed will likely remain in place. The political
process of the state and its partisan nature would seem to indicate that negotiation and
compromise will likely need to occur if either political party hopes to fulfill its agenda. Out of that
process we can hope for more favorable municipal finance regulations and possible
opportunities for cities to exercise greater self-determination, or at the very least no
diminishment of our current position.
As you know I have not traditionally used my budget message to comment on issues of a
partisan nature. However, I do believe it is important with respect to the new political
circumstances in our capitol. The State is financially healthy with strong reserve positions and a
variety of revenue sources. Such conditions can hopefully lead to greater legislative and

executive initiative on the future of our State rather than partisan bickering over how best to
handle some crisis. The State government is not in crisis.
The proposed local option sales tax scheduled for a March 30, 1999 vote and the projects it
supports can also serve as a means to supplement as well as expand our current community
services and thereby fulfill some of our community's interests. It will also, much like our State
government enjoys, diversify our tax base. I believe it to clearly be the State's policy to
encourage municipalities to seek the local option tax and utilize those funds to supplement
public services as well as provide relief from fees, charges, and taxes. Without the sales tax
option our initiatives will be far more limited, notably in the future.
The financial flexibility in the budget is due to a number of factors, most notable is a residential
rollback increase. The increase in the rollback factor and the resulting expansion of our property
tax base has a profound effect on our financial future. In our earlier projections we had
anticipated the rollback to continue to limit tax base. The rollback increase from 54.9% to 56.5%
does mean the General Fund, assuming current tax rate policy, has new resources available
and when coupled with our continued modest growth would indicate the City's General Fund is
in a better position to consider service amendments in response to community needs and
interests. This will also bring into question program priorities. Our capital improvement plan is
very aggressive and will have a bearing on the General Fund. With the proposed addition of, for
example, new recreation, fire, and airport facilities, expanding parkland and trail development,
these capital investments lead directly to increases in operating expense and the need to
secure tax and/or fee for service support. Your budget policy decisions will determine the full
extent of what public services will receive our attention over the next three years.
Our ability to finance and support capital investment is of particular importance in these budget
recommendations, notably the long-term commitment of staff resources to support these
projects. The City, has over the years, been willing to invest in our capital assets, streets,
sewers, facilities, etc. and thereby work to avoid burdening future generations with infrastructure
failure and/or inadequate public facilities. However, this cannot be said of operating services.
They are often absorbed into our current complement of personnel with associated operating
expenses. As we continue to grow we will need to address operating services and the demands
placed on them by way of our community's interests.
We also have operating programs and their respective budgets which are taking a "new"
direction in fulfilling a program or policy. Our Economic Development Coordinator has assumed
substantial responsibility for our downtown development initiatives. While on the surface this is a
favorable indication of the City's direction, any economic development initiatives are likely to be
"back burnered" as we fulfill our downtown commitments. Our Transit system with a new
downtown interchange will propose in this budget the use of customer service representatives to
staff the new downtown facility in order to support our interest in promoting transit opportunities
for our citizens.
The full effect of certain City services on the budgets of other departments is important to our
management of expenses. Our Police Citizens Review Board has staff and private legal counsel
assigned, and their work does influence the workload of other City operations, such as City
Attorney's office, City Clerk, the time involved by Police Investigators and thereby this new
public service requires more support than is indicated within its specific operating budget. The
same can be said for our new Public Arts Advisory Committee. The concept was created with
capital funds, a citizen's committee was added, and yet, we did not provide for additional staff
resources which have been absorbed by current personnel.
-2-
Budget Message
December 1998
Page 3
As we review our operations, and the necessary financial resources, the pressures to provide
public services within our resources has truly become a delicate balancing act of policy
leadership, management oversight, and resource availability. We have attempted in these
budget proposals for FY2000, 2001, and 2002 to offer the community a package of services
utilizing available tax resources and yet anticipating a future, that may provide greater fiscal
discretion by the state government or the possibility of a new revenue source.
The budget, as proposed, offers several major operational initiative commitments. The addition
of six new police officers by way of a $450,000 federal grant, has been incorporated into our
.plan; a new fire station and accompanying professional staff is proposed as we respond to
community growth; an aggressive capital project plan to meet or exceed our infrastructure
requirements and thereby address our maintenance and safety obligations as well as create
future 'development opportunities; and wherever practical, staff support for services that are in
need of attention merely due to increasing service demands. These would include an expanding
park system, new pedestrian trails, street inventory and maintenance, greater management
attention to police training and support for our Senior Center, its programs, and the maintenance
of an aging building.
Sincerely,
Step~n~j. Atkins ·

FINANCIAL PLAN OVERVIEW
The Three-Year Financial Plan (the Plan) is again being used for Fiscal Years (FY) 2000
through FY2002, which begin on July 1 and end on June 30. This is a one year annual
budget that meets State of Iowa code requirements for budgets, but also provides an addition-
al 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
operating budget includes the "General Fund" and "Enterprise Operating and Reserve Funds."
A separate multi-year Capital Improvements Program (CIP) plan through FY2004 will be
distributed as a separate 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. The three year planning
process provides a means to meet most funding needs at some time within the three year
period. The Plan has become 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. The Plan summarizes the budget by major category
within each division. Actual receipts and expenditures are monitored carefully on a line-item
basis by the Finance Administration Division, the department head in charge of each division
and compared to the budget throughout the fiscal year. Department heads are ultimately
responsible for ensuring that the divisions under their control stay within budget.

Four (4) additional cell phones, one for each inspector. Our inspectors
have .many inspection appointments during the day as well as while in the
field, they are to investigate complaints/nuisance cases, The ability to
place phone calls from the field would increase their efficiency. Currently
a radio call is placed to the HIS office by the inspector and the office staff
places phone calls on behalf of the inspector.
Assisted Housina
It is anticipated that HUD will reduce the administrative fee available for
the operations/staff support for our support of federal housing programs.
Our recent organizational changes anticipated such circumstances, but
as always our housing programs are subject to Congressional mood
swings.
Parks and Recreation Administration
+$40,000
Enaineerinq
Consulting services to assist in the development of a City-wide parks and
recreation master plan. Some interest has been generated in a
comprehensive plan for our many parks and recreation programs and
facilities. Notably with the substantial increase in parkland acreage, both
traditional and natural areas, the new gymnasium space, and the
continued investment in our downtown recreation center, new roof (1994),
new boilers (proposed 1999), and. other related investments, an overall
plan appears to be in our community's best interests. It is assumed the
plan preparation would be under the direction of the Parks and
Recreation Commission, with support from other Boards, such as
Riverfront/Natural Areas Commission.

Senior Engineering Technician
This technician has been recommended in order to more fully address our
responsibilities for public right-of-way management. With deregulation of
utility and telecommunications industries, as well as the other users of the
public right-of-way, mapping, inspection and general oversight of the
right-of-way has been more critical. We know of 14 users of the right-of-
way with each subject to varying regulations and/or controls. We would
hope to recover the cost of this new position to the fullest extent practical
by way of chargeback to various utility funds and the users of the right-of-
way.

The extent of our capital improvement plan as well as the desire for timely
and accurate development review requires additional staff attention. This
position will be funded by chargebacks to various utility funds and
development review costs.
Electronics Technician
This position is part of the Water Division long-range comprehensive plan
implementation. This staff person will maintain, install and program
electronic and electrical control systems.
This will increase the annual appropriation for our Re-leaf program from
$2,000 to $7,500. This project is substantially for street trees, not park
trees. It is also projected to be $5,000 for FY2001, and $5,000 for
FY2002.
Additional 2.25 FTE employees in order to utilize City employees to
perform routine cleaning and maintenance of the Library. The Budget has
been reduced by $60,000 the current cost of contract cleaning.
Cover the skylight in the Children's room with reflective film. Due to the
large glass area on the south side of the Library the temperatures rise
higher than elsewhere and cannot be controlled with HVAC system.
Riser would be available in Room A to elevate a stage for performers and
participants and improve audience viewing.
Transit Customer Service Representative
Transit Customer Service Representatives (1.75 FTE) would replace 1.75
Mass Transit Operator positions with no increase in total complement of
personnel. With the opening of a new downtown transit office we would
like to have someone working out of the downtown hub office for the
purpose of customer inquiries. This person can also serve to fill in if a
driver were ill or running behind schedule. If that were to occur,
telephone calls would be "rolled over" the Riverside Ddve Transit office.
We now have a different driver every day doing "on call" work. We believe
we can better match the skills necessary with a person who is a customer
service representative as well as a ddver.
City's 20% share of capital costs for transit roof replacement ($80,000),
methane abatement ($400,000), and new bus shelters ($32,000). Federal
grants are pending for 80% of the project costs. This cost may is
proposed as a General Fund expense. We may wish to consider the use
of debt.

The costs/conditions, etc. associated with City assuming the maintenance
responsibility of SEATS vehicles has not been incorporated into this

The route study and related changes will be available in
January/February, however the goal is to provide revised services within
existing resoumes.

currently underway throughout the City.
+$20,000
In response to the Housing Forum proposals, consultant services to
review/recommend on the City's development codes as they relate to
housing affordability.
+$2,000
With expanded emphasis in our JCCOG traffic engineering/planning
program we have expanded use of and request for traffic counts. The
wear and tear on these devices is such that we need to commit $2,000 a
year to replace these counting devices.
Police Administration
+$65,000
Police Sergeant - Training
Police training has been continually expanded over the years, and it has
also come under greater scrutiny, both publicly and by police
professionals. Similar to our Fire service, we believe full time attention is
necessary for police training. This Sergeant would report to the Captain
for Administrative Services, and we believe would increase the
effectiveness and efficiency of training. This would include all "outside"
training, represent the City on the Mobile Team Curriculum Committee,
facilitate our in-house "field training", F.A.T.S. related firearms training
and maintain all training records and related documents. It is also planned
to the fullest extent practical to incorporate training as part of annual
officer evaluation.
Police Criminal Investigation
+ $261,800
Six Additional Police Officers
These six additional officers would be assigned to Patrol
responsibilities. The Federal government has recommended a grant of
$450,000 over three years. The grant will fund 75% of the cost. The
budget proposal reflects the annual grant of $150,000 with a City
General Fund share of $111,000.
-8-
Fire
+ $62,000
Assistant Fire Marshal
The new position would be supported by a proposed permit-based
inspection program applicable to an estimated 400 high hazard
occupancies. A high hazard occupancy is a building that poses a
significant full load, threat to the environment, or allows a large
number of people to congregate. The estimated annual fee base
would .generate $22,000 per year. ·
+ 8435,400
Nine Additional Firefighters
These new positions have been identified for years 2001, 2002, and
2003, and serve as the nucleus for staffing the proposed new Fire
Station (#4). The last fire station constructed was in 1972. Since that
time the population has increased + 30%, as well as the
business/industrial expansions which have occurred. In 1972 the fire
service primarily provided fire suppression services. Today the
department provides support to emergency medical services,'
hazardous materials, code enforcement, rescue/confined space, and
public education. Additionally, OSHA requires fire departments to
assemble four personnel before initiating an interior fire attack. Given
the lack of actual street access in the northeast, response times are
exacerbated.
Airport
+$9,000
Airport Maintenance Worker
The request was to expand the Airport Maintenance Worker from
half-time to full-time. Recognizing the investment in new Airport
facilities as identified in the Master Plan, the budget proposes the
expansion staged over two years, a ~ time expansion each year.
Parks and Recreation
$78,600
Clerk Typist and Maintenance Worker - Mercer/Scenlon Gymnasium
In anticipation of the opening of the new ScanIon Gymnasium, an
additional ~ time maintenance staff ($17,100) is recommended. In
preparing projections of the costs to operate, this maintenance
position was considered. The budget also proposes an additional Clerk
Typist at Mercer Center. It is anticipated substantial new traffic at the
Center will occur, and with our technological investment in computer
capability ($26,000), we will be able to connect our recreation
scheduling and related activities to our downtown center, thereby
allowing citizens to schedule participation in recreation activities while
at Mercer/Scanlon.
-9-
Senior Center
$16,700
Streets Maintenance
+ $45,200
Information Services
+ $18,700
+ 51,700
Maintenance Worker
The Senior Center building will continue to experience maintenance
problems well into the future, due substantially to the buildings age
and usage. Its use by other community interest groups also places a
burden on the maintenance work effort. The decision on addition
space, that is, whether there will be more space allocated to the
Center by way of the available space in the Iowa Avenue parking
garage must be considered in future staff commitments. The use of
temporary employees $8,000 + per year, and its elimination from the
budget, helps support this increased expenditure.
Maintenance Worker
We wish to expand our snow removal routes from 10 to 11, as well
as supplement other street related maintenance work, such as-leaf
collection, signs/signals, etc. Our street mileage continues to grow.
The Road Use Tax is the source of finance for our street programs
and has, with our continued population growth, shown it can absorb
additional maintenance responsibility.
Time ClerkTypist
This position would assist in managing the growing inventory of
computers and software, and would be responsible for ordering,
receiving and inventory of supplies, equipment and repairs.
Webmaster
This person will work with a senior management oversight committee
to develop a World Wide Web presence for the City and will be
responsible for programming on the City's internal web pages.

The FY2000 property tax levy rate is proposed at $14.053 per $1,000 of taxable assessed valua-
tion, compared to 913.13343 in FY99.
The State limits the local growth in ProDert¥ tax revenue in several ways. The State of Iowa controls
the growth in taxable assessed value through the rollback factor on residential property, the sched-
uled elimination of taxable value on machinery and equipment (4% of taxable value), the valuation
of utilities and setting maximum rates on tax levies. The residential rollback factor is currently tied
to the growth in agricultural value state-wide. The FY2000 rollback factor is .564789 or 2.86%
greater than FY99. The State is phasing out the machinery and equipment property tax.
-11 -
The rollback factor along with the maximum state imposed tax rates in the General (8.10), Library
(.27) and Transit (.95) levies allows the state to control and limit taxable growth and property tax
revenue locally.
The FY2000 budget includes $714,710 in property taxes and $180,102 in State property tax
replacements for machinery and equipment. This revenue is scheduled by the state to be phased out
completely by FY 2004. FY 2000 end 2001 are maintained at the FY 96 valuation of $63.676
million which is projected to generate property taxes (and state credit) of approximately $895,000
end $949,000 respectively. The revenue increases in FY 2001 because it is reimbursed at the
respective year's current property tax rates. In FY 2002 the state credit portion will be gone for
Iowa City and the M&E property taxes will be based on the valuation at that time, which are
projected to have dropped to about $14.7 million valuation (valued at 14% of cost) generating about
$228,000 in property taxes. The remaining M&E valuation in FY 2003 will be at 6% of cost,
generating approximately $43,000 in property taxes; and the M&E class of property will be com-
pletely exempt in FY 2004.
M&E property taxes are projected within the various property tax funds as follows for FY 2000 -

The FY2000 General 8.10 property tax levy totaling 913,990,651 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 9~1000 of taxable assessed valuation per State law.
The FY2000 Library tax levy of $.27, which was voted in by a majority of the residents in 1991,
will generate $466,355. The initial levy was used to expand Library services and continues to
maintain that level of service.
The FY2000 transit levy totaling 91,640,879 is a "general" levy for transit purposes and must be
receipted into the general fund and then transferred to the Transit Fund.
The FY2000 tort liability levy of 0.221 will generate 9381,367. There is no maximum levy, it is
based on expenditure requirements. The General Fund 8.10 levy paid for all of tort liability prior to
FY99. All budgeted expenses related to tort liability that would have been included in the General
Fund have been moved to the Risk Management Fund.
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%), health insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, worker's
compensation insurance premiums and unemployment compensation. In FY99, FY2000, FY2001,
and FY2002 the City has or is proposing to levy the Employee Benefits tax at $3,030,228,
$3,487,044, 93,611 ,O00 and $3,916,420 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, $575,000 was used in FY99 and in FY2000, FY2001 and
FY2002, $585,000, $585,000 and $585,000, respectively.
The Debt Service (DS) levy provides funds for the payment of the principal and interest on general
obligation bonds of the City that are not abated by water or sewer funds. It can also be utilized to
fund the payment of any judgments against the City, unless other funding sources are provided.
The FY2000 levy increases from $3,119,507 to $4,352,066 in FY2000 due to a 910 million bond
issue in calendar year 1999. The levy is projected to increase to $5,932,937 in FY2001 and
$6,818, 114 in FY2002. New debt issues to pay for the cost of repairs and renovation to streets,
bridges, buildings, parks, etc. in 2000 and 2001 are $15 million and $11.5 million, respectively.

state rollback factor and exemptions, taxable assessed value increased by 4.57%. The increase
in taxable value in FY2000 is due to new construction and changes in the state rollback rates.
The residential rollback increased from .549090 in FY99 to .564789 in FY2000. Commercial
property and railroads are back to 100% assessed value being taxable in FY2000 compared
to a rollback of .973606 in FY99.

B. GENERAL FUND REVENUES
FY2000 revenues total 833.6 million and are approximately 83.351 million or 11.1 % greater
than the FY99 budgeted revenues of 830.2 million. Sale of the Peninsula Property is budgeted
at 1.3 million in FY2000. Property tax revenue, including the transfer from the Employee
Benefits Levy accounts for approximately 8i ,063,000 of the FY2000 increased revenues.
8600,000 of the increase is from a transfer from the Employee Benefits fund to cover the 27th
pay period in FY2000. The General Fund includes machinery and equipment (M&E) property
taxes and state credits totaling 8593,466, 8593,464, and 8137,303 in FY2000-FY2002
respectively. M&E revenues will be eliminated between FY2002 and FY2004 per the State
Code. $120,000 is budgeted for the completion of the Police Federal Crime grant which
reimburses the salaries and benefits of 8 police officers. FY2000-FY2002 includes 8150,000
per year for a new Police Federal Crime grant for 75% of salaries only (not benefits) for six
additional police officers. The grant total is $450,000 over three years. $22,000 per year has
been added as a new inspection revenue associated with a new Asst. Fire Marshal position.
FY2001 revenues totaling 832.2 million are $97,000 less than the FY2000 total of $33.6
million (net of $1.3 million peninsula land sale)· Property taxes increase by approximately
8515,000. The first Federal Crime Grant is $0 in 2001, the transfer in of $609,242 in FY2000
is a non-recurring revenue, not in 2001.
FY2002 revenues ~otaling $32.6 million are approximately 8380,000 or 1.2% more than the
FY2001 total of $32.2 million. Property tax revenues, including the employee benefits transfer,
account for an increase of $472,385. In FY2002 there is not any state reimbursement for
machinery and equipment (state credit loss of 8265,715), although a small amount of property
tax from M&E is expected.
General Fund revenues are summarized into nine major categories. The analysis of each
category follows:
Property Taxes (47.9% of total) -- This includes the General (8.10), Transit (.95),
Library (.27) and Ag Land levies. The property taxes as proposed are at the maximum
allowable rates as shown above. FY2000 property tax revenues are projected to be
$16,104,211 or 4.6% greater than FY99. FY2001 is projected to increase by 2.6%
to $16,515,633 and by 1.4% to $16,745,902 in FY2002.
Transfer: Employee Benefits Lew/(11.9% of total) -- This property tax revenue is
receipted into 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.). FY2000 transfers are estimated to be
$4,008, 171.
Road Use Tax (8.9% of total) -- 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 Engineering
and Streets Divisions less other revenues received by these divisions and a forestry
position that is directly related to the maintenance of City street right-of-way. FY2000
transfers are estimated to be $2,996,429.
e
State/Federal Fundin¢l (4.9% of total) -- The revenue sources that are received from
the State of Iowa consist of state aid, personal property replacement tax, bank fran-
chise tax, library open access and a new reimbursement for loss of revenue from
machinery and equipment. The State remits state aid and personal property replace-
ment revenue to the City in two equal installments, one in December and the other in
March.
All of the state revenues are budgeted at approximately the FY99 budget level and
reflect no increases in future years..
-16-
Six police officers were added in FY96, with salaries and benefits funded from a
Federal Crime Grant. Two additional officers were hired as part of the grant in July
1998. The City will be paying the first six officers from General Fund monies starting
in FY99. Salaries and benefits of the last two officers will be paid from the grant in
FY99 and FY2000. A new federal crime grant has been applied to hire six more police
officers in FY2000. The grant is a maximum of ~ 150,000 per year for three years
which is 75% of salaries, not including benefits.
Chargeback of Services (3.2% of total) -- This revenue source consists of administra-
tive 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 support to the Library
for Audio Visual Lab services and a City Attorney chargebaCk for services.
Fines, Permits and Fees (7.5% of total) -- This category includes a variety of different
revenue sources. The largest are Recreation fees, building permits and inspections,
parking fines, library services and magistrate court fines.
Contractual Services (3.7% of total) -- Included in this revenue line item is the contract
for Fire services provided to the University 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 City but within Johnson County.
Hotel/Motel Tax (1.4% of total) -- 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 and visitors Bureau (25%), Parks and recreational
facilities (25%). The 25% amount that goes towards Parks and Recreation is being
receipted into Mercer Aquatics in FY99. Prior to FY99 Mercer Aquatics received 15%,
Parkland Acquisition 7%, and Parkland Development received 3%. In FY2000 Mercer
Aquatics will be returned to '15% and ScanIon Gymnasium will receive 10%.

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 FY2000
budget includes scheduled step increases, an estimated bargained adjustment and
includes one extra pay period.
Personnel costs are primarily controlled by collective bargaining agreements. Employ-
ees of the City are represented by three unions: AFSCME (Local//183), the Police
Labor Relations Organization (PLRO) 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 three-year con-
tract that spans July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1999.
Sworn police officers are represented by the Police Labor Relations Organizations
(PLRO) of Iowa City. The bargaining unit is composed of all Iowa City police officers'.
Exempt from the unit are the police chief, captains, lieutenants, sergeants, and other
confidential, administrative, supervisory and less than half-time employees. The PLRO
ratified a three-year contract that spans July 1, 1997 through June 30, 2000. This
agreement included a 3% adjustment to wages in July 1997, 3% in July 1998 and 3%
in July 1999, plus any 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 IAFF and City ratified a three-year contract that spans July 1,
1997 through June 30, 2000. This agreement included a 3.25% adjustment to wages
in July, 1997, 2% in July 1998, 2% in January 1999, 3% in July 2000, plus any step
increases in each fiscal year.
Employees who are administrative, supervisory or otherwise ineligible for collective bar-
gaining are covered by the Personnel Rules and Regulations. Some are eligible for Civil
Service. Salaries and benefit appropriations 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, 1998, plus any scheduled
step increases. FY2000 through FY2002 adjustments to pay plans will be the same
percentages as the AFSCME unit, per resolution adopted by the City Council.
Commodities
Commodities mainly consist of office and cleaning supplies, and maintenance and
repair materials for buildings, streets and equipment.
- 20 -
3. Services and Charges
Services and Charges cover expenses for Aid to Agencies payments, printing and
postage, various service contracts, repairs and maintenance to vehicles, equipment and
buildings, chargeback for internal service funds and utility costs.
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 FY2000 Aid
to Agency proposed budget is $440,000 ($105,000 CDBG, $335,000 General Fund).
Human services received FY2000 requests for funding totaling $466,890, an increase
of $57,190 or 14% more than the FY99 budget, excluding $20,000 FY99 Aid to
Agency Contingency budget. The financial plan provides funding in FY2001 of
$450,050 ($105,000 CDBG, $340,050 General Fund) and FY2002 of $460,402
($105,000 CDBG, $355,050 General Fund). The following page shows a detailed
listing of the actual funding of agencies from FY96 to FY98, the current budget for
FY99, and the proposed budget for FY2000.
An additional $28,210 is budgeted for various community spirit events in FY2000.

5. Contingency
The FY99 original contingency budget was e270,000. The balance at 12-4-98 is
$224,833 as budget amendments have been processed using contingency. Contingen-
cy in the past has been set at approximately 1% of total expenditures. FY2000,
FY2001 and FY2002 contingency is set at $300,000 per year, which is less than 1%
of expenditures. This assists in balancing property tax revenue and also as a means to
achieve the expenditure guidelines as set by the City Council.

D. GENERAL FUND YEAR-END CASH BALANCE
Starting on July 1, 1998 (FY99) the General Fund cash balance no longer included reserves.
Reserves for Parkland Acquisition/Development, Library Computer Equipment Replacement,
AV/Public Access Equipment Replacement and State Reciprocal Borrowing were moved to
separate accounts outside the General Fund.
The City Council established guidelines to maintain cash balances at approximately 20% of
expenses. The following chart depicts the General Fund Operating Cash position for fiscal years
1998 through 2002.

The Operating Cash Fund Balance is used to provide for cash flow in the first quarter of the
next fiscal year because the majority of property taxes are not received until October/November
and cash balances are drawn down. The following chart shows cash flow needs or how
expenditures have exceeded receipts in the first three months for the past five years.

E. 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. Transit and Airport receive most of
their funding from property taxes, federal and state grants, General Fund subsidy, and the balance
from fees. The other six funds are self-supporting from fees.
1. PARKING FUND
FY2001 and FY2002 revenue includes fees from the new ramp on Iowa Avenue. Parking
rates were increased last on August 8, 1996. Almost all of the Iowa Avenue revenue from
parking meters will be phased out over the next three years due to the proposed land-
scaping project. There are no fee increases factored into the three year plan. Parking fines
are raceipted 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.
Parking operations in FY2001 reflect increased costs associated with operating the new
Iowa Avenue ramp similar to the Dubuque Street Ramp. Transfers ($1,836,760 in FY99)
are approximately one-half of the operating budget. FY2000 transfers (2,141,529) include
the funding for debt payments ($1,136,760) for three existing issues plus the new 1999
bond issue. parking fine transfer to the General Fund ($400,000), parking reserve for ramp
repairs ($170,000) and an operating subsidy to transit operations ($90,000).
2. TRANSIT FUND
For accounting purposes, the Transit Operating Fund is considered an enterprise fund,
which means fees pay for the majodty of the costs associated with this fund; however,
fees are one of the smallest portions of this budget. The majority of the funding in the
Transit Fund is generated from a $.95 property tax levy on all taxable property within the
City of Iowa City. This generates approximately $1.64 to $1.70 million a year. In addition,
the General Fund is projected to subsidize an additional $400,000, $460,000, and
$530,000 in 2000, 2001 and 2002 respectively.
Fare revenue reflects the loss of the Hawkeye route.
Federal grant revenue of $300,000 is projected to continue throughout the three year plan,
contrary to prior year reports.
State grant revenue is estimated to be approximately $296,000 per year. $90,000 per year
is being transferred in from the Parking Fund as an operating subsidy.
The three-year plan reflects no funding to the Transit Replacement Fund. The City will
pay for their portion of any new bus purchases through loans that are repaid from the debt
service property tax levy. Staffing for the free shuttle is included in all three years.
See page 86 for a summary of bus fare revenue by source and the percentage change from the previous
year.

3. WASTEWATER TREATMENT FUND
e
e
The wastewater treatment fund reflects the most recent 15%, 10% and 10% rate increas-
es enacted for bills on or after March 1, 1996, 1997 and 1998 respectively. The three
year plan reflects increases of 10% on or after July 1, 1999. A 5% increase is factored
in for July 1 of 2000 and 2001 but no increase is planned for several years out. The
rates, as proposed, comply with the City Council's direction of accumulating cash of 20%
(approximately $7.6 million) of the cost of the wastewater projects. The three year plan
reflects utilizing the $7.6 million cash accumulated to fund the one year debt service
reserve on bonds issued in 1999 and 2000 and part of the project costs. Arbitrage rebate
calculations are not needed if cash (rather than bonds) is used to fund the one year debt
service reserve. Interest income reflects earnings on all Wastewater Funds including the
reserves.
$300,000 of new expenses have been added in FY2002 when the new plant becomes
operational. Transfers are the largest portion (74%) of the operating budget. Transfers
fund principal and interest payments on debt that has or will be issued, one year debt
service reserve requirements and Capital Improvement Program projects. The three-
year plan reflects debt service transfers for principal and interest payments on existing
debt issued in 1993, .1996 and 1997 and $7.0 million to be issued in CY99, $10.5 million
in CY2000 and 15.5 in CY2001.
WATER FUND
The water fund reflects the most recent 30%, 20% and 15% user fee rate increase
enacted for bills on or after March 1, 1996, 1997, and 1998. Water fees reflect increases
of 15% and 10% for billings on or after July 1, 1999 and 2000, respectively. The rates,
as proposed, comply with the City Councirs direction of accumulating cash of 20%
(approximately $10.7 million) of the cost of the water projects. This cash will be used
to pay for part of the project costs. In addition, a portion of the $10.7 million will be used
to fund the one year debt service reserve on bonds issued in 1999, 2000, and 2001.
Arbitrage rebate calculations are not necessary if cash on hand (rather than bond
proceeds) is used to fund the one year debt service reserve.
Expenses reflect one new position in FY2000. An additional $300,000 of expenses were
added in FY2002 when the new plant is projected to be on line. Transfers include the
water portion of general. obligation debt that has been issued, new revenue bond debt
and funding for the one year debt service reserve. The three-year plan reflects debt
service transfers for principal and interest on new revenue bond issues projected in
CY99 of $7.7 million, $4.8 million in CY2000 and $27.0 million in CY2001.
REFUSE FUND
There are no significant changes in operations in the three year financial plan. The
monthly fee of $11.55 for curbside refuse ($8.75) and recycling ($2.80) is proposed to
be reduced to $11.00 due to the lower tipping fee.
LANDFILL FUND
The Landfill tipping fee was reduced ten dollars per ton on January 1, 1999 as a result
of the Landfill long range plan. Revenues reflect 75,000 tons of garbage per year being
billed. Any major reduction in tonnage at the landfill will impact the operations. There are
no significant changes in operations in the three year plan. A transfer from the operating
fund to landfill replacement reserve was reduced from $1.7 million to $300,000 in FY99
and then maintained at $300,000 for each year. The transfer is used to pay the cost of
constructing new landfill cells, purchase of additional landfill land, and any major capital
projects that are needed at the landfill. Separate reserves have been established for
Closure and Post Closure Landfill cell costs and special deanup for paints, batteries, and
toxic chemicals.
- 25-
7. AIRPORT
Revenues reflect increased rental income from the new corporate hangar. The Airport
operating fund reflects no significant change in operations. A quarter time maintenance
worker has bean added in FY2000 and again in FY2001. Transfers include a loan repay-
ment to the Landfill Reserve fund for three T-Hangars. The General Fund subsidy is
approximately 21% of the airpod operating budget.
8. BROADBAND TELECOMMUNICATIONS
This fund accounts for the Cable TV operations of the City. The funding sourco is a 5%
cable franchise fee which is part of the monthly bill for Cable TV as well as a $.50 pass
through fee for local programming which was added in FY97. The City also receives
funding for Public Access TV (PATV) and then remits that amount to them. Transfers
include an operating subsidy to the Library for cable TV of $44,753 in FY2000 increasing
to $48,000 by FY2002. In addition, $10,000 a year is transferred to the Cable TV
replacement reserve fund, which is used to replace equipment on an as-needed basis.
F, 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 Property Tax levy and transfers from
various Enterprise Funds for their capital improvements which were funded by General Obligation
Bonds. Debt Service expenses in FY2000 through FY2002 include proposed bond issues of $10
million in CY99, $15.0 million in CY2000, and $15.0 million in CY2001. Debt Service expenses
related to the Library expansion bond issue are not included.
As stated in the City's Fiscal Policy, "Debt incurred as a general obligation of the City of Iowa
City shall not excead 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 FY92 through FY2002. The total property valuation amounts are actual for FY92-
FY99, but are estimates for FY2000 through FY2002.

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 FY92 through FY2002. The levies for FY92-FY99 are certified;
the levies for FY2000-FY2002 are projected. (The State will certify the levy for FY2000 in June

4 way stop at 1st Ave and Friendship needed (fwd)
.......... Forwarded message ..........

From: Judy Putney <judy-putney@uiowa.edu>
To: denorton@blue.weeg.uiowa.edu
Subject: 4 way stop at 1st Ave and Friendship needed
Dear Mr. Norton,
I live at 2 Arbor Circle in Iowa City. I travel Friendship Street everyday and I strongly believe we need a 4 way stop at
Friendship and 1st Avenue. In the mornings (7:30-8:00) the traffic is extremely busy on 1st Avenue (cars going to City
High, Regina, ect). With HyVee and Walgreens on south end-this adds to the increased amount of traffic.
This morning it took approximately 7 minutes to cross 1 st Avenue--would you mind checking into the feasibility of a stop
sign? I appreciate your time and effort.
Thank you.
Judy Putney

Finance Director, City of Iowa City
Frz
Diane Sulg
Executive Director, Iowa Arts Festival
Re: Fiscal Year 2000 to 2002 Budget Request
Thank you for the opportunity to submit a budget request to the City. The Iowa Arts
Festival greatly appreciates the support of the City. We want to emphasize that the City's
financial contribution is a critical component in our ability to stage a first-class event for
this community.
We request the City Council consider granting $10,000 to the Iowa Arts Festival in the
coming budget year. This request is the same one we submitted in 1997, and while we
were very grateful for the increase we received, we believe that the rapid growth and
tremendous impact the Iowa Arts Festival has, and will have in the future, on the
community in general, and the downtown in particular, warrants this funding request.
Two years ago the Iowa Arts Festival embarked on a path of growth and expansion. At
first, the signs of our growth were not obvious because many of the steps we took were
internal, such as: creation of a long-range plan, increased fund-raising activity, and
meetings with our event partners to discuss long-range goals. The foundation we created
is now strong, and we are pleased to report, it will support a 1999 Iowa Arts Festival
which is "going big-time"!
Our four-day event will feature many favorites -- the Festival Orchestra Concert,
great bands, and of course, Children's Day coordinated by the Iowa City Public Library.
The big news comes on the weekend, and we're excited to share the details:
* A two day Fine Art and Craft Show featuring more than 100 artists juried from
the best in the mid-west region; Working with Arts Iowa City, we are creating an
arts extravaganza that will fill our streets with excitement, inspiration and lots of
people!
* A Culinary Arts Event which will bring food back to the Festival with pizazz and
zest for four days.
Post Office Box 3128 · Iowa City, Iowa 52244
Phone (319) 337-7944 · Fax (319) 337-4934
A Road Race - the creation of DVIP to benefit their wonderful programs (and
the Arts Fest, too). The Race will bring people of all ages to downtown on
Saturday morning, not only to run and watch the race, but also to browse the
ArtFair, enjoy something to eat, and listen to the music which will be going all
day.
* Expanded Children's Activities which will mean high-quality, on-going fun for
the young at art all weekend.
Expanded street entertainment; last year we experimented successfully with
ambient entertainers on the Plaza. This year we are growing the number of
strolling artists who will attract a crowd to watch them perform their acts
in intersections, on sidewalks and throughout the downtown.
We are also pleased that the ICARE Pancake Breakfast has returned to our
event and will be instrumental in bring a large crowd downtown on Sunday
morning -- when the Arts Festival will be getting underway for another full day
of art and music, food and fun.
The Iowa Arts Festival has worked successfully with many community groups to create a
synergy which will make the 1999 event a remarkable community event and one capable
of attracting large numbers of people to the downtown.
Naturally all of this comes with a high price tag. The Arts Festival budget is expanding in
many areas. Here are several examples:

Artist Fees $23,000 $25,000 $ 2,000

Dear Council Members:
On behalf of the Downtown Association of Iowa City, we'd like to thank you for your past support of the Friday Night
Concert Series. During the past few years. this eveat,haS grown to 17-18 weeks of free music every Friday night. In
1999 the Friday NightConcert Series will begin mid May and we would like to extend it into September.- Well over
30,000 people ~-~__md these conceas.
The Friday Night Concert Series draws a very dim audience from the community and surrounding areas. At the
Chamber of Commerce's Walk of the Stars Business Fair in January, 1998, the DTA conducted a survey asking people
what they like most about downtown. At the top ofthe list were the Ped Mall and the ex:Ixcerts. The DTA organizes,
supervises, promotes and raises all the funds forthe series. We hire local musicians including area high schools and
eomm~mity bands. All promotion is provided by the DTA and the Iowa City Press-Citi~m ('m kind). Our paid staff
member only spends approximately 30 hours PER YEAR on t_h l.q ev~ai.. All the rest ofthe work is done by volunteers.
In 1997 we consistently hired a professional sound person to ensure the quality from week to week. One of our
volunteers also emceed every concert to provide control and recognition of conm~butors.
Last year, we were able to match the City's generous contribution of $6,250 to the concerts through voluntary donations
from members and friends of the Downtown Association. This year we would like to ask that you consider renewing
your contribution of $6250 for the smimier of 1999 and we will try to increase our member donation level.
Thank you for your considm'ation and support.
Sincerely,
Executive Director, Downtown Association of Iowa City

Dear Council Members:
Since 1991, The Iowa City JaT~ Festival has brought nationally and internationally
recognized jazz artists to Iowa City for a two day festival of jazz in all its manifestations.
It has attracted audiences of as much as 25,000 and visitors from as far away as California.
It has invited and encouraged local professional and high school jazz bands to share a
stage with some of the legends of jazz. Perhaps most importantly, the Festival has
provided opportunities for education, through the associated clinics and jam sessions, and
through consistently and consciously bringing musicians with a variety of jazz styles.
For eight years, The Iowa City Jazz Festival has provided all of these things completely
free to the public. This is accomplished because all of the labor involved in the Festival is
volunteer; much of the equipment and advertising is provided as gifts-in-kind; funding for
the two-day festival is provided by gram, corporate sponsors, individual contributions
from dtizens of Iowa City, and of course through the generous donations of the City of
Iowa City.
On behalf the Board of Directors of the Iowa City J~= Festival, I want to thank you
again for your past generosity. It has been truly invaluable to us in our efforts to bring the
best in Jazz to Iowa City. We hope that the City will once again be able to help us
financially with this truly unique and valuable event. We expect the 1999 Jazz Festival to"
cost approximately $50,000. You provided us with $7640 last year and we hope that you
will consider increasing your donation to $10,000.
Sincerely,

Impact
The Iowa City Jazz estivol affects a
profound economic and cultural impact
on Iowa City each year. Historically o
somewhat dormant time of year for Iowa
City, the downtown is now one of the
most active hubs of both economic and
cultural activity on July 3rd & 4th in the
state. In 1997, the economic impact of
the Iowa City Jazz Festival on the area
was estimated at between $750,000 and
$1,000,000. This estimate was made
before the record-setting turnout in 1997
of approximately 35,000 concert-goers.
SUCCESS
Since its humble inception in 1991 as
on intimate local gathering of jazz
o~cionodos, the Iowa City Jazz Festival
has transformed into a nationally
recognized event with on overage
annual audience of more than 15,000.
Over the years, the festival has
featured some of the biggest names
in music. Among the jazz luminaries
who hove lent their talents to previous
festivals ore John Scofield, T. S. Monk
Jr., Poquito D'Rivero, Joe Lavano,
Ken ny Gorrett, P, oy Haynes, Dove
Douglas, Moceo Porker, and the
Novilia Brothers. The Iowa City Jazz
Festival is now regarded as one of the
finest summer jazz festivals in the
United States.
Held every July 3rd and 4th in the
heart of downtown Iowa City, the Iowa
City Jazz Festival is the perfect way
for friends and family to celebrate
Independence Day by paying tribute
to one of America's greatest
contributions to the world of music
and culture.
A key ingredient in the ongoing
success of the festival is its
accessibility. Admission is (and always
has been) free. Local and regional
sponsors underwrite all costs of
producing the festival. The festival
transcends socioeconomic barriers by
providing free access to individuals
and families regardless of age or
income level.
Exposure
The National Public I~adio program
JazzSet with Branford Marsotis has
recognized the exemplary quality of the
Iowa City Jazz Festival by recording the
festival three times in eight years. Most
recently, JazzSet featured Iowa City Jazz
Festival broadcasts for three consecutive
weekly shows notionwide. In 1996, the
festival was recognized as among the
"Top 10 Festivals in the Notion" by
Downbeat magazine. This type of
exposure has not only helped to put Iowa
City 'on the map,' but also helps to
recruit new families and businesses by
highlighting the oreo's emphasis on
culture and quality of life.
Innovation
From the beginning, the principal goal
of the festival has been to present a
consistently high level of musicianship.
Each year the audience is treated to some
of the very best jazz performers in the
world. This means featuring cutting-edge
musicians who hove been cited as among
the best by their peers. From the Grammy-
winning Neville Brothers and Poncho
Sonchez to DownbecTt mogozine's 1996
pick for Alto Soxist of the Year Kenny
Garrett to Grammy-nominated pianist
Brad Mehldou (Jazziz mogozine's 1997
#1 Talent of the Year Deserving of Wider
Recognition), the festival has brought
some of the world's greatest and most
influential talent to its Iowa City stage.
Music is a universal language. Jazz, by
its very nature, encompasses a
tremendous diversity in both its styles
and its musicians. The Iowa City Jazz
Festival represents an unprecedented
opportunity for the region to increase its
exposure to, and reputation for, a level
of diversity not found elsewhere in the
state.
t
Education
A featured aspect of recent
festivals is the focus on jazz
education. In addition to the
exposure of festival-goers to both
well-known favorites and cutting-
edge artists, the festival has
brought intimate educational
opportunities to students and
long time afficianados through
its jazz clinics program. Each year,
young musicians from high
schools around the area are
invited to learn from such noted
educators as P, on Carter, T.S.
Monk Jr., and Ed Wilkerson (Eight
Bold Souls)in a concentrated and
effective workshop setting.
Moreover, the festival has gained
recognition as a supporter of
local youth jazz groups by
forming collaborations with both
the Iowa Qt./High and West High
jazz bands, featured openers at
past festivals. The addition in
recent years of two sidestages
provides unprecedented
opportunities for college students
and local artists as well.
Recognition
Over the years, the Iowa City Jazz Festival has
gamered awards and recognition from local and
national organizations on both artistic and economic
grounds. Most recently, the festival is honored to be
a recipient of the Iowa City/Coralville Convention and
Visitors's Bureau advertising grant for Tourism and
the Arts. In addition, the Iowa City Jazz Festival is the
proud recipient of the following awards:
