Dear Mr. Pohh
At the. Iowa City City Council meeting on Tuesday, January 11, the City Council discussed a
proposal whereby the City would purchase the Englert Theater property from you, assuming
satisfactory closing of the real estate deal you have pending with Central States Theaters
(current owners). The City Council was informed the purchase price for the City would be the
same as that which you paid for the theater in your transaction with Central States. The primary
interest of the City Council is to afford a local citizen's group an opportunity to raise sufficient
monies within a nine month period to purchase the Englert from the City. This assumes that we
(Pohl and the City) have completed a satisfactory sale arrangement.
The Council was pleased with your interest and willingness to work with the City government as
well as the interests of the local citizen's group.
There are issues that will need to be addressed prior to any agreement on the City's purchase
of the property from you. While most of these issues, in my judgment, can be handled routinely,
they do require additional time. Specifically representatives of the City would like an opportunity
to inspect the property to determine its soundness and specifically what are the assets we
would actu.ally purchase. We would need your permission to enter the property as soon as
practical to conduct this inspection.
A second issue is timing. In order to conclude the real estate transaction between the City and
you, the earliest the City Council could consider a resolution of purchase is at their February 1
Council meeting. Council must authorize a real estate contract by vote.
A third issue is the review of the apparent deed restrictions. We understand that Central States
has placed restrictions on the sale that would become your obligation at purchase. It is our
understanding these deed restrictions indicate that no movies may be shown in this theater by
future owners. Before the City Council can close on a real estate purchase agreement with you
a thorough understanding of any deed restrictions such as the one mentioned would need to be
reviewed. If you could forward a copy of any documents that are relevant with respect to this
issue it would be appreciated.
I believe an important element in this transaction particularly due to the speed with which we are
all apparently desiring to go, is that all the parties involved recognize our respective good faith
efforts. As mentioned earlier your interest and offer is not only appreciated by the City but also
by the citizen's group most interested in securing this property. It would seem as you proceed to
close the real estate transaction with Central States, you also need some comfort that it is the
410 EAST WASHINGTON STREET · IOWA CITY, IOWA 52240-1826 · (319) 356-5000 · FAX (319) 356-5009
City's interest to pursue a real estate contract with you. I am not sure of the exact methods to be
able to demonstrate to you our good faith effort but the City Council was clear in their public
discussions that they are supportive of our citizen group's effort. The Council has expressed a
willingness to purchase the Englert property through City resources and hold the property for a
sufficient period of time to allow further fundraising. While not directly relevant to your
circumstances, the City Council has been very clear that if the property were in City ownership
and fundraising or other expectations were not fulfilled by the citizen's group within the nine-
month timeframe the property would again be placed on the open market for sale.
I recognize this letter may be a bit long-winded and that we will need to discuss these matters in
more detail with you or your representatives. Please feel free to contact me and/or our Planning
Director Karin Franklin. We may be reached at the City offices, (319)356-5000.
This proposal has been discussed openly with our City Council and the community is fully aware
of the Council's interest. It may prove somewhat uncomfortable for the details to be discussed
so openly. The manner by which this issue has developed, the open and public interests of our
citizen group, and the use of public funds has lead to the very open and public nature of the
discussion. Hopefully this will not lessen the enthusiasm for the purchase.
Again, thank you for the opportunities you have put forth. We would hope that within a
reasonable period of time we could conclude all prospective interests of this particular
project/plan. I will again reiterate that the community interest groups and the City Council have
received this proposal with enthusiasm and hopefully we will be able to provide an opportunity
whereby our citizen's group can secure and ultimately provide the long-term support of a historic
property in our community. Thanks again.
Sincerely,

Re: Peninsula Project
We have three developer submittals for the Peninsula Neighborhood development project.
They are the Lander Group (Minneapolis), McCabe LLC (Boulder), and Terry L. Stamper &
Associates LLC (Birmingham, MI).
We have scheduled a public presentation of each of these proposals for March 1, 2000 at 6:30
p.m. in the Civic Center Council Chambers. At that time questions and comments will be taken
in writing from the public for input to the Selection Panel. The Panel will conduct individual
private interviews with each of the developers over the following two days and make a
recommendation to the City Council for a preferred developer. We hope to bring this
recommendation to the Council at their March 20th and 21st meetings; we anticipate discussion
during the work session and a resolution to accept a preferred developer at the formal meeting.
The Selection Panel will consist of myself, the Assistant Director, the Senior Planner, the
Community Development Coordinator, and members of the Planning & Zoning Commission and
the Housing and Community Development Commission. We will also receive advice from our
design consultant, Dover Kohl & Associates. This process is very similar to the process we
typically use to hire consultants, with the exception that we have incorporated additional public
participation with the public presentation and comment opportunity, and the inclusion of
commission members on the Selection Panel.
Once a preferred developer is selected, we will work with that developer on a Development
Agreement, which will include the elements of disposition of the property, and on approval of the
necessary plats and plans to commence this project. We are hopeful that construction may
begin in the Fall of 2000 or the Spring of 2001, concurrent with the completion of the Foster
Road project.

Re: Public Library - Old Capitol Town Center
On Monday afternoon I spoke with representatives of the Madison Realty Group, owners of the
Old Capitol Mall. One of their specific issues was the interest, that is by way of newspaper
accounts, of the use of what was once the Penney's space as a possible public library. I
explained to them in very general terms there was interest by some in the public library being
relocated to the Mall. At this point no further analysis had been done on the idea/proposal to
determine its feasibility, let alone desirability.
The representatives of Old Capitol Mall indicated a willingness and interest in pursuing such a
concept. I did explain to them that we would need to consider such a proposal with a clear
understanding that the property would need to be purchased rather than rented. I briefly
explained the problem of our 810 General Fund Levy limit and it-could not tolerate any new
expenses such as rent payments for a building of the significant value that would likely to be
attributed to the Old Capitol Mall space. They were not reluctant in considering the
condominium of a portion of their property and its sale for the purpose of a library.
The attached letter appears to express their interest in pursuing these discussions. I am
directing my memo and this letter to the Library Director, however we will need to respond to
their interests.

Re.: Iowa City Public Library
Old Capitol Town Center
Dear Steve:
Blaise l,arkin and I appreciate the time that you took on the telephone with us this
afternoon- especially on your first day back after being out of the office for a week. As we
mcnlioned, we do have an interest in pursuing the prospect of locating the Iowa City Public
Library within Old Capitol Town Center.
As we have mentioned to you previously, it is our highest aspiration to create ~m ideal
tow,~ center at Old Capitol. If it is stnmtured to achieve each of our needs, incorporating the
public library could be a valuable component in merehandi sing the Center,
We do understand fl~at you strongly prefer to purchase the space of approximately 725-
80,000 sq.tarc feet for the library.
Please let us know the next appropriate st~p otter you discuss this with the City Council.
We may be reached in my office at 412.281.1880. We look forward to working towards file
best solution for the Iowa City community and the public library.
Very truly yours,

RE: Library Update
The Library Board has asked me to update you on the status of the Library
building project.
We have met with architects from Engberg Anderson Design Partnership several
times to develop plans for expansion of the Library to the west, the concept
approved by Council in December. We expect to be on schedule to make a
presentation on February 14. Cost estimates based on the design developed will
also be available on the 14th. The Board requests a joint meeting for that
presentation.
The Board discussed the letter from Madison Realty offering to explore the
possibility that an expanded library could be located in the Old Capitol Town
Center. In a conversation with a Madison Realty representative at the end of
December they indicated they had no interest having the Library located in the
vacated Penneys space. In another conversation at the time the letter was sent
Madison Realty indicated to a Library Board member that they reconsidered their
previous statement and may have space in the basement and on the second
floor. Obviously, this would be unsuitable for the Iowa City Public Library. The
Board feels that a policy direction has been set by the Council and a project
mutually agreeable to Council and Board is being pursued. A major
consideration during the development of that position was the desire to not
vacate the current library building. The Board is not interested in looking at
space in the Old Capitol Town Center at this time.
The topic of branch libraries continues to be discussed. The Board's position is
that the need to expand the central library to 80,000 square feet is the priority at
this time. When that need is met, development of branches or some other form
of outreach service such as a bookmobile should be considered. The Board is
receiving a study on bookmobile service at their January meeting and will also
discuss operation of very small, reading room type of branch. A joint facility
with Kirkwood Community College is not an option in the near future. Board
representatives have met with Dr. Norm Nielsen, president of Kirkwood. He has
indicated that they have no current plans to expand their Iowa City campus
library beyond the addition of some study space and they have no resources to
add staff for a larger facility. Given the community interest in developing
additional library access points, the Board is committed to studying the different
options.
We look forward to your reactions to the plans that will be presented on February
14 and hope a discussion regarding a public referendum date can be held very
soon.

Re: Investment Issue - Recovered Funds
Recently Rene Paine, PATV Director, forwarded information to me indicating that PATV has
successfully recovered 100% of its principal involved in its February, 1999 investment with
Foreign Currency International, Ltd. Ms. Paine's letter states, in part:
"Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this settlement agreement, PATV has
been paid in full by FCI for all losses suffered by PATV as a result of its trading
with FCI. As part of the agreement PATV has accepted payment in the amount of
$3,200 - the full amount claimed by PATV in a lawsuit filed in the Johnson
County District Court, Small Claims Division, No. 048764, and has agreed, in turn
to dismiss that action with prejudice. As legal fees related to this matter were
donated to PATV, PATV has suffered no net losses as a result of this incident."
Attorney James Larew was instrumental in working with PATV to achieve this success.
You may have read or heard about this but I wanted to ensure that you were all aware that the
entire principal has been recovered by PATV.

Re: Hickory Hill/Cemetery
At a December 1999 work session, a majority of the City Council directed staff to prepare the
necessary resolution(s) to dedicate 30 acres of the Gaulocher properly to park use and
designate the remaining six acres of the ten acres earmarked for cemetery expansion for park
use until such time as it is needed for cemetery use. Although an exact legal description of the
property to be dedicated to park use is not necessary, I believe it prudent to have one prepared
so there is no question as to exactly what property we are dedicating. Prior to investing the
money in the preparation of a legal description, however, I need to confirm that the direction of
the current Council with respect to how much acreage will be dedicated is the same as the last,
so that the legal description can be prepared accordingly.
I will proceed as directed in December unless Council directs otherwise.

CITY OF I0 WA CITY
City Council
City of Iowa City
Council Members:
In keeping with our tradition, we have prepared a three-year operating budget and capital plan
in order to hopefully predict and thereby anticipate what our financial position will likely be as it
relates to budget decisions and other related City plans. This multiple year budget planning is
particularly important in that our State government exercises substantial control over the
finances of local governments. Also, we use our budget as a day-to-day management tool and
an instrument to implement new policies, programs, and other initiatives as directed by the City
Council. The City Council has also taken strong fiscal policy positions with respect to guiding the
preparation of the budget and those Council policies are identified in the budget plan.
With such a strong tradition of multi-year budgeting and City Council policy direction, we have
maintained healthy reserve positions and implemented sound financial management policy. Our
credit evaluation history bears this out. I do believe the policy and program initiative component
in our budget making process is substantially diminished because of the control the State
exercises over our resources. However, even with these state restrictions we must develop
budget proposals that will take us into future and at the same time secure our community's
financial health.
In that our community has spoken with respect to the only available additional revenue, a local
option sales tax, new budget initiatives will be difficult to achieve. There is also no sign the State
legislature will provide any additional latitude with respect to our primary tax resource, that being
the property tax. In preparing the FY2001 budget recommendations, I have taken the position I
would propose no initiative which would cause such a severe reduction in any other City
program that it would require reduction in our full-time employees. Our employees are our
greatest asset and involve some of our greatest investment, therefore any initiative which
jeopardizes this investment should be avoided.
The State legislature's intent appears to be a desire to continue at the very least, and likely
expand control over local government finances. We will soon lose our machinery and equipment
tax base and State reimbursement for the tax revenue that has been lost. The rollback or
reduction in taxable value of residential property has the practical effect of substantially reducing
the growth in our tax base. The State has also reduced by application of a rollback factor to
commercial and agricultural property values. Deregulation of the utilities industry by the State
seems likely. The immediate affect on the cost of gas and electric utilities to consumers
(including the City government) is unknown. The State has expressed an interest in replacing
the property tax on these utilities with some form of consumptive tax. Another round of
legislature initiated tax rate manipulation seems headed for State consideration. Similar to a
property tax freeze, our ability to predict our financial future could be further reduced. As a City
government, we must exercise caution in new policies, programs, and other initiatives to assure
we do not create financial conditions from which we can not recover.
In the preparation of this budget plan we face a new federal requirement with respect to
stormwater quality management. We have been fortunate over the years in our development
codes to have dealt with storm water quantity issues. We must now through the federal
government's environmental regulating powers take on the responsibility of storm water quality.
These new federal regulations will require an increase in cost to our citizens and a new storm
water management fee is proposed.
There are local issues of interest to our citizens, City Council and others, many of which are
identified in the capital improvement plan. In order to attempt to accomplish new initiatives, we
need to strengthen our financial base notably the property tax base. Under a separate
memorandum a proposed economic development policy and strategy is recommended and a
budget to fulfill this strategy. There has been significant economic changes in our community
and our region. Much of which can be expected as the economic ebb and flow of retail,
commercial, and other industrial development occurs. A Iocational shift in retail activity is of
economic and financial consequence to the City. This factor with the potential for property tax
freezes, State regulations, etc., has led to the new economic development policy, which simply
stated is we must grow our economy to help secure our financial future if we ever hope to fulfill
community plans and initiatives before us. This policy/strategy allows us to fulfill our
community's diredive, that is tax support for the local government is to be substantially limited to
the property tax.
Another significant local issue which needs attention is our increase in parkland, trails, and other
expanded recreational opportunities. As we accept land for public purposes as a part of the
development process, the securing of these additional community assets has strapped our
ability to maintain the ever-expanding parkland and associated recreational features. We will
need to develop a policy and plan whereby the development of future park land may need to be
limited or at least slowed. The additional parkland causes increases in maintenance and related
operating expenses. With the upcoming master plan process directed by our Parks and
Recreation Commission, I believe you need to offer them policy guidance, if not a directive as it
relates to our limited resources. Developing a plan (which represents our dreams) and then be
unable to fulfill it, would be a disservice to our community.
The FY2001-02-03 financial plan has been balanced in accordance with Council policy,
applicable State and Federal laws, and community resources.

FINANCIAL PLAN OVERVIEW
The Three-Year Financial Plan (the Plan) is again being used for Fiscal Years (FY) 2001
through FY2003, which begin on July 1 and end on June 30. This plan includes our one year
annual budget that the Code requires for budgets, and also provides an additional two years
of projections as a planning tool for City government. The "Financial Plan Overview" discuss-
es 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 is included.
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.

· Potential for property tax freeze in FY2001 led to cautious approach to expanded services,
thereby major program of service changes would occur in FY2002 and thereafter.

The FY2001 property tax levy rate is ~14.792 per S 1,000 of taxable assessed valuation, compared
to $13.851 in FY2000.
The FY2001 budget includes ~501,896 in property taxes and $357,812 in State property tax
replacements for machinery and equipment (M&E). M&E revenue is scheduled by the state to be
phased out completely by FY2004. FY2001 and FY2002 revenue from property taxes and state
credit M&E is approximately ~859,708 and $223,839 respectively. In FY 2002 the state credit
portion will be eliminated for Iowa City due to a formula tied to commercial growth, and the M&E
property taxes will be based on the valuation at that time. The M&E class of property will be corn-
pletely exempt in FY 2004.
The FY2001 General 8.10 property tax levy totaling $14,674,759 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 $8.10 per $1000 of taxable assessed valuation per State law.
The FY2001 Library tax levy of $.27, which was voted in by a majority of the residents in 1991,
will generate f~489,159. The initial levy was used to expand Library services and continues to
maintain that level of service.
The FY2001 transit levy of ~.95 totals ~1,721,114 and is a "general" levy for transit purposes and
must be receipted into the general fund and then transferred to the Transit Fund.
The FY2001 tort liability levy of .221 will generate $401,680. There is no maximum levy although
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 Loss Revenue Fund.
The Emergency Levy of $.27 will be utilized in this Financial Plan beginning FY2001. Expected
revenue will be ~489,159.
The Employee Benefits property tax levy is used for General Fund employer costs of social security
(FICA - 7.65%), Iowa Public Employees Retirement System costs (IPERS - 5.75%), Municipal Fire
and Police Retirement System of Iowa (17%), health insurance, life insurance, disability insurance,
worker's compensation insurance premiums and unemployment compensation. The FY2001
Employee Benefits tax levy is ~3,611,000. 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, ~585,000 was used in FY2000 and in FY2001 $585,000 is
proposed.
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 FY2001 levy increases from $4,001,609 to $5,448,189 in FY2001 due to a $11.3 million
bond issue in calendar year 2000. The levy is projected to increase to $6,190,889 in FY2002 and
$6,807,819 in FY2003. New debt issues planned to pay for the cost of repairs and renovation to
streets, bridges, buildings, parks, etc. in 2001, 2002 and 2003 are 810.76 million, 813.6 million
and 84 million, respectively.

B. GENERAL FUND REVENUES
FY2001 revenues total $34.3 million and are approximately ~700,000 or 2.1% more than the
FY2000 revenues of $33.6 million. Included in property tax revenues is the transfer from the
Emergency Levy of $489,000 of the FY2001 increased revenues. The General Fund includes
machinery and equipment (M&E) property taxes and (M&E) state credits totaling $563,706,
$141,278 and approximately $32,000 in FY2001-FY2003 respectively. The State of Iowa has
decided that M&E revenues are to be eliminated. State credits expire in FY2002 and M&E
property taxes are reduced to ~0 in FY2004. FY2001 and FY2002 include $150,000 per year
from a Police Federal Crime grant that provides for 75% of salaries only (not benefits) for six
additional police officers. That grant totals 8450,000 over three years.
FY2002 revenues totaling ~33.2 million are 8205,000 more than the FY2001 total of $34.3
million (net of $1.3 million peninsula land sale). Property taxes increase by approximately
81.4%. In FY2002 state credit reimbursement for machinery and equipment expire resulting in
revenue loss of $226,759, a small amount of M&E property tax revenue is expected.
FY2003 revenues totaling 833.9 million are approximately 8700,000 or 2.2% more than the
FY2002 total of 833.2 million. Property tax revenues, including employee benefits transfer,
account for all of the increase of $786,000.
General Fund revenues are summarized into nine major categories. The analysis of each
category follows:
1. Property Taxes (50% of total) -- This includes the General (8.10), Transit ($.95),
Library (8.27), Emergency ($.27), Tort Liability (8.22) and Ag Land levies. The
property taxes as proposed are at the maximum allowable rates per State of Iowa
Code, except for the Tort Liability Levy. FY2001 property tax revenues are projected to
be ~17,292,806 or 7.5% greater than FY2000. FY2002 is projected to increase by
1.4% to 817,537,534 and by 3.7% to ~18,184,651 in FY2003.
2. Transfer: Special Revenue Levies (13% of total) --The Employee Benefits levy
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.). FY2001 transfers
are estimated to be 84,054,641 . The emergency levy (8.27) or 8489,159 is a special
revenue levy and is receipted first into the Emergency Levy Fund and then transferred
to the General Fund.
3. Road Use Tax (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 (~81.85), 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.
FY2001 transfers are estimated to be 83,121,169.
4. State/Federal Funding' (5% of total) -- The revenue sources that are received from the
State of Iowa consist of state aid, personal property replacement tax, bank franchise
tax, library open access and a new reimbursement for loss of revenue from machinery
and equipment. The State remits state aid and personal property replacement 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.
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 that grant in July
1998. The City began funding all costs on 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 second federal crime grant allowed the City to hire
six more police officers in FY2000. That gr. ant is a maximum of $150,000 per year for
three years, which provides 75% funding of salaries, not including benefits.
5. Chargeback of Services (3% of total) -- This revenue source consists of administrative
charges to the Enterprise Funds (Ex.: Water, Parking, Wastewater, etc.) for services
provided in the Finance and Public Works Administrative Divisions, use of the Docu-
ment Services Division, use of Central Services, Cable TV support to the Library for
Audio Visual Lab services and a City Attorney chargeback for services.
6. Fines, Permits and Fees (7% 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.
7. Contractual Services (4% 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.
8. Hotel/Motel Tax (2% 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 returned to 15% and ScanIon Gymnasium received 10%.
9. All Other Income (Peninsula Property 4%, all other 3%) -- The largest revenue sources
in all other income are interest income, transfer of parking fines, transfer from Health
Insurance Reserve and Miscellaneous Income. Sale of the Peninsula property is
budgeted at 1.3 million in FY2001.

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 FY2001
budget includes scheduled step increases, and an estimated bargained adjustment.
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 two-year contract
that spans July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2001. This agreement included a 3%
adjustment to wages in July 1999 and 3% in July 2000, plus any step increases in
each fiscal year.
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. FY2001 through FY2003 adjustments to
pay plans for approximately 100 administrative and confidential employees will be the
same percentages as the AFSCME unit, per resolution adopted by the City Council.
2. Commodities mainly consist of office and cleaning supplies, and maintenance and
repair materials for buildings, streets and equipment.
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 FY2001 Aid
to Agency proposed budget is ~465,500 ($105,000 CDBG, $360,500 General Fund).
The following shows a detailed listing of the actual funding of agencies from FY97 to
FY99, the current budget for FY2000, and the proposed budget for FY2001.

D. GENERAL FUND YEAR-END CASH BALANCE
Starting on July 1, 1998 (FY99) the General Fund cash balance no longer includes 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 starting in FY99 to maintain cash balances at approxi-
mately 20% of expenses. The following chart depicts the General Fund Operating Cash
position for fiscal years 1999 through 2003.

Although the cash balance percent of expenditures is higher than the 20% goal, the cash
balance will gradually move toward the 20% level.
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 Octo-
ber/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 six
years.

1994 94,137,291 96,690,150 (92,552,859)
E. ENTERPRISE FUNDS
The Enterprise Funds include Parking, Wastewater Treatment, Water, Refuse, Landfill, Airport,
Transit, Broadband Telecommunications, Housing Authority and Stormwater Management. These
are primarily funded from user fees for services provided with the exception of Transit, Airport, and
Housing Authority. Transit and Airport receive most of their funding from property taxes, federal and
state grants, General Fund subsidy, and the balance from fees. Housing Authority receives its
funding from Federal grants. The other seven 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 last increased 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 receipted into the parking fund to satisfy revenue requirements for Parking Revenue
bond covenants. If the bond covenants are satisfied and the cash balance at year end is
adequate, the revenue from fines is transferred to the General Fund.
Parking operations in FY2001 reflect increased costs associated with operating the new
Iowa Avenue ramp similar to the Dubuque Street Ramp. Transfers ($2,294,992 in FY2000)
are approximately one-half of the operating budget. FY2001 transfers ($2,329,258) include
the funding for debt payments ($1,903,258) for three existing issues plus the new 1999
bond issue, parking fine transfer to the General Fund ($400,000) and parking reserve for
ramp repairs ($300,000). The operating subsidy transfer of $90,000 to Transit is not
included due to the increase in debt service payments.
2. TRANSIT FUND
For accounting purposes, the Transit Operating Fund is considered an enterprise fund,
which means fees pay for the majority 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 $1.70 million a year. In addition, the General
Fund is projected to subsidize an additional $460,000, $530,000, and $500,000 in 2001,
2002 and 2003 respectively.
Fare revenue reflects the loss of the Hawkeye route.
Federal grant revenue of $348,793 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.
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.
-19-
3. WASTEWATER TREATMENT FUND
The wastewater treatment fund balance incorporates the 10% rate increases enacted for
bills on or after March 1, 1998. The three year plan reflect rate increases of 5% on
August 1, 1999 and a 5% increase is factored in for August 1 of 2001 but no increase is
planned for after that. 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. 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 is anticipated
to be 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, 1997, 1999 and proposed issuance of $10.1 million in CY2000 and
14.5 in CY2001.
4. WATER FUND
The water fund balance incorporates the 15% user fee rate increase enacted for bills on or
after March 1, 1998. Water fees reflect increases of 10% for billings on August 1, 2000. The
rates, as proposed, comply with the City Council's 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.
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 $11.6 million in CY2000, $13.5
million in CY2001, and $4 million in CY2002.
5. 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) was reduced to $11.00 in
July, 1999 due to the tipping fee being reduced by $10 per ton in January, 1999.
6. 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 cleanup for paints, batteries, and toxic chemicals.
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 been 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 27% of the airport operating budget.

]:t has been pointed out that once the telephones are installed in the
new kiosks, the coin slots will probably not be at an accessible height
as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act. We have reviewed
the project plans and found that the design shows the phones to be at
an accessible height. Tt appears that the height was changed during
the fabrication process. Our designer for the project, BRW ]:nc., of
Minneapolis, was retained to review the manufacture's shop drawings
prior to fabrication and to periodically check the fabricator's work.
We have contacted BRW to request an explanation of the difference
between the design and constructed height and for solutions. We are
waiting for a response.

PRESS RELEASE
TO THE EDITORS AND GENERAL MANAGERS: "':
January 14, 2090 .-r
HARRT feels it is imperative that we speak out about the anti-immigration ads that have been
running in the press and TV media in Iowa.
These ads are clearly racist and misleading. On January 8th, in an editorial, Michael Beck, the
Executive Editor of the Press Citizen said and I quote: "in a not-so-subtle way, the ads equate
immigrants with crime, overcrowding and a host of other societal woes. The ads imply not only
that immigration is bad, but that the immigrants themselves are bad." end quote In the same
article he also says "What if some neo-Nazi group knocked on our door, wanting us to publish its
hate literature as an ad or a column on the Opinion Page? Certainly there' s a line there
somewhere. I don't want to publish information that's going to foster hatred in our community."
end quote
Last November, hate oriented literature was distributed in Iowa City by the Creativity
Movement, a white supremacist group out of Illinois. At that time City officials, private citizens
and legislators came together for a rally in Iowa City to denounce this literature. In a strange turn
of events, the incorrect "facts" on illegal immigration in the Creativity Movement' s newsletter is
very similar to that expressed in some of the anti-immigration ads currently running in Iowa.
Certainly there is a line. And many people through phone calls and letters have been trying to
point out to the media that these ads cross that line. The ads pander to fear and ignorance, are
factually incorrect and promote racism and hatred. Does the media know who is really
represented by the groups paying for these ads? If you check out their web sites it becomes
evident that at least some of them are covers for hate groups. Some, like the American
Immigration Control Foundation, are selling racist literature on their site. And I talked with the
Southern Poverty Law Center today and they informed me that one of these groups,
NumbersUSA is closely linked with the Council of Conservative Citizens, which is a white
supremacist hate group. Where does our local media draw the line?
Once again, HARRT wants to point out that accepting these ads was a business decision. The
media is not required to accept ads that are discriminatory, and we feel it was poor judgment to
do so. We recommend that citizens who are offended by these hateful ads and want the media to
stop running them do the following:
1. Call or write the local media and let them know how you feel.
2. Cancel subscriptions to papers that continue running the ads.
3. Contact local advertisers and ask them to stop advertising in media that runs these ads.
4. Stop your subscriptions to papers that run the ads.
5. Turn off TV stations that run the ads.
6. Ask your friends and neighbors to join you in these actions.
Maybe, if running these ads becomes unprofitable, the media will figure out where they draw the
line and stop running them.
Once again, let me make this perfectly clear. Immigrants are welcome in Iowa. What's not
welcome in Iowa is racism.
