MEMORANDUM
Date: May 4, 2000
To: Design Review Committee/City Clerk
Cc: Tara Cronbaugh
From: Kumi Morris
Re: Sidewalk Caf~ at 211-1/2 E. Washington Street (The Java House)
Iowa City Coffee Co. has submitted a renewal application for a sidewalk caf~ at 211-1/2
East Washington Street (The Java House). The City of Iowa City ordinances requires
that sidewalk cafes be subject to the design review process of the Design Review
Ordinance. After reviewing the submitted design of the sidewalk caf~, I have
determined that the design of the caf~ is substantially the same as the design approved
in previous years.
The committee has indicated that if the renewal application design is substantially the
same as the previously approved design, the Committee does not need to meet to
review the application. Therefore, the Committee will not be meeting over this
application.
There was one minor change in the application from previous years. The change is the
style of the planter that will be part of the sidewalk cafe. Three years ago, cafes started
to use flower boxes as a means to delineate the location of the sidewalk cafes for those
individuals who are visually impaired. In the past, the Java House has used cedar
wood box planters to contain plants, this year the submittal includes plastic planters that
have a terracotta appearance.
In lieu of a meeting, the photographs of the furniture and planter (included with
application) were electronically mailed to all the Design Review Members. The
consensus of the committee is that the planters meet the guidelines and have a suitable
appearance. As the committee requested last year, the applicants are encouraged to
plant flowers in the planters as well as maintain the foliage in order to add color to the
streetscape.

This agreement should NOT be recorded, as it never came into effect due to non-deposit of the $$, (and we
don't want to confuse title examiners). So, I guess the non-recorded, tho' executed document should be
placed in the Louis Condo's file w/notes as to why it was not recorded, etc .... (these e-mails should work).
_Al_s_o,l_believe the public improvements were accepted recently (?), tho' this is a different issue.

Kellie: This agreement was approved by CC to allow an escrow to be placed in lieu of building the
alternative drive so that Bud's original driveway could be opened (i.e City would agree to allow original
drive to be reopened pending installation of alternative drive if $$ placed to assure building of
alternative drive in future) ..... Developer did not want to place $$ in escrow, so they proceeded to build
alternative drive (it is now completed)..Thus, the escrow agreement will never be signed by Developer
and used, as alternative drive has now been built and original drive has been removed from Foster Rd.

Council can resolve to sign 2 different agreements. If the artist didn't sign the first agreement there is no agreement.
From a legal perspective I see no reason why both agreements can't be signed by Council and the files closed. The
resolution authorizing Council to sign the first agreement is still valid, the artist just didn't sign so there is no agreement.

Site Selection
The Public Art Program will advise the City Council on sites to be enhanced by the
addition of art. The site must be public property (which may also include University of Iowa,
state, county, or federal property), situated so the art is visible and accessible to all members of
the community. Special provisions may be necessary to make the site and/or the work accessible
to members of the community with disabilities. Additionally, the artwork must not seriously
disrupt the flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic or adversely alter the environmental conditions
of the selected site.
Consideration will be given to future and ongoing capital project sites to allow art to
become an integral part of the project's design. While participation in any stage of the design
plans would be beneficial for incorporating art in a project, the Public Art Program should strive
to join the planning process as early as possible to ensure the feasibility of incorporating art in
the selected projects.
The program will not be limited to capital design projects, as that would eliminate the
opportunity to improve existing public areas with the addition of art. Art in public places
enhances the appearance of that area and need not be a part of a capital improvement project.
Both sites and works should be chosen to encompass and boost the spirit of the community.
The Public Art Program's initial focus is on areas frequented by a significant portion of
the city's residents and visitors, such as the downtown area and city parks, as many people will
be exposed to the art in these locations. However, the program will not be limited solely to areas
with heavy pedestrian traffic, as installation of public art in neighborhood parks increases
people's frequency and level of contact with the works. Though fewer people may visit the
artwork in neighborhood parks, placement of art in these areas is vital to the public's
involvement with art and the success of the Public Art Program.
Structural and maintenance issues of the prospective artwork will also be considered
when selecting a site, as some areas (particularly high traffic areas) will be prone to public
interactions with the art. A work installed in these areas must be structurally sound to ensure the
safety of the community as well as the longevity of the work. Furthermore, some sites may be
more appropriate than others due to activities on or near the site. For example, proximity to
salted streets may result in corrosion of the surface of the artwork. Finally, as public art tends to
attract more people to a site, art should be chosen and installed with the anticipation of this
increase in traffic to the site.
ppddir/pubartprocdr doc I
Accession
All works of art purchased, commissioned or accepted as donations shall become
property of the City of Iowa City. All City artwork will be maintained by the City and included
in an inventory kept by the City' s Public An Advisory Committee (PAAC). The inventory must
include:
· title of the work
· name of artist(s)
· location of the work
· year purchased/donated
· purchase price (if applicable)
· donor' s name (if applicable)
· photographs of the work
· dated records of the condition of the work
· the artist 's description of brands and colors of materials used in creating the work
· the artist' s recommendations for maintenance and repair of the work
· all published material about the work
All contracts for the acquisition of public art shall include provision for a reasonable time
period within which the City agrees to keep the piece of artwork in the place for which it was
commissioned, purchased or donated. This provision shall allow for removal or relocation of the
artwork in the event the City Council determines that the place is needed for another public use.
Donated Work:
People wishing to donate artwork to the City of Iowa City must submit slides, a written
description of the work, and a rationale for the gift. The PAAC will then review the submitted
piece for:
· quality
· maintenance requirements
· donor stipulations
· safety issues of the piece
· availability of an appropriate site
· advice of the administrators at that site
A contract including ,but not limited to, travel, installation and lighting costs, as well as
plaques or any sort of published recognition of the donor (other than in the inventory) must be
agreed upon before the work is accepted into the City's collection.
If the PAAC approves the donation, then the City Council must decide whether or not to
accept the donation. If a donation is accepted by both the PAAC and the Council, it becomes a
part of the City's Public Art Collection and is documented by the same inventory procedures as
listed in the accession section.
ppddir/pubartprocdr doc 2
Selection Processes
There are three standard ways of purchasing a piece of art: open competition, limited
competition and direct invitation, all of which are described below. In addition to these, the City
may acquire artwork through gifts. For each of the selection processes outlined, the Iowa City
Public An Program Acquisition Procedures will be used. These processes may include
commissions or the acquisition of existing works. We hope to encourage a diverse applicant
pool.
Open Competition:
This is the most widely used and equitable process, and may solicit artists' participation
locally, regionally, nationally, or internationally. Artists submit proposals in response to a public
advertisement. The selection committee then reviews the proposals and recommends an artist or
artists for acquisitions, or requests more detailed proposals from selected artists.
Limited, Invitational Competition:
The Public Art Committee recommends a limited number of artists on the basis of an
interview or review of work. The artists are then invited to develop a site-specific proposal for a
particular project. The artists are given an honorarium and all the necessary information, as in the
"Open Competition," as well as the opportunity to present a model and proposal to the
committee. The selection committee then reviews the submitted proposals and recommends
acquisitions. This process might be most appropriate for art projects calling for collaboration
between an artist and an architect or landscape artist.
Direct Invitation:
In this process, if there is a majority of the Public Art Advisory Committee that feels one
artist is particularly well qualified for a project, s/he might be invited to submit a proposal and a
model, thereby bypassing the competition process. This process may be suitable should the
appropriate situation arise.
ppddi~pubanprocdrdoc 3
Acquisition Procedures
1. Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC) defines project, i.e. location of work or capital project
with which art is associated, and method of selection. Methods of selection may include open
competition; invitational competition; or direct selection.
2. PAAC defines parameters of project to be used in the call for artists or direct selection, develops
a budget for the project, and drafts a proposed call for artists or artist selection for City Council
approval. Public comment will be invited before the PAAC. For direct selection, proceed to step #8.
3. City Council considers proposal.
4. PAAC determines need for panel to work on selection process for project and identifies
participants. Panels will include members of the PAAC, design professionals and representatives of the
user group/neighborhood.
5. PAAC reviews initial submittals, which include the artist's experience and qualifications,
references, and preliminary proposal(s) for the project or specific works of art, to determine compliance
with the call for artists.
6. The panel, if convened by the PAAC, selects two or three semi-~nalists from the group
of qualified artists submitted to the panel by the PAAC. The semi-finalists may be asked to
submit refined proposal(s) and/or model(s). Semi-finalists may be paid a fixed honorarium, costs
of travel and a per diem, depending upon the approved budget.
7. The PAAC reviews the submittals of the two to three semi-~nalists. The artist(s) may present
their work at a public meeting. The artists' work is displayed in a public place for up to one week.
Written comments from the public will be invited during this week. A public forum is held for
discussion and input to the Public Art Advisory_Committee on selection of the preferred artist. The
PAAC recommends the finalist to the City Council.
8. City Council approves or denies the selection. Denial requires direction to
the PAAC from the City Council and beginning the process again at the appropriate step.
9. After an affirmative vote by the Council, the PAAC works with selected artist on refinement of
concept, timeframe for completion of work, final budget, and approves the contract for work.
10. PAAC recommends contract to City Council.
11. City Council approves contract.
ppddir/pubartprocdr doc 4
Maintenance
Before a work is accepted into the City's collection, the artist must submit:
· a detailed list of exact types, brands and colors of materials used,
· a summary of cleaning instructions, and
· estimated am~ual maintenance needs and costs in dollars.
This information will be kept on file with the inventory of the City' s collection. Any
maintenance or restoration responsibilities the artist might have must be clearly explained in the
contract and agreed upon before the work becomes a part of the City's collection. Unless
otherwise stated, once a work is part of the collection, the City assumes all maintenance
responsibilities for the work while the work remains part of the City' s collection. A maintenance
and inspection schedule suitable for the site and the work will be discussed with the artist and
implemented upon possession of the work. Complete records of inspections, cleanings and
conditions of the works will be kept on file in the inventory.
If a work in the City' s possession becomes damaged in any way, the City may contact the
artist to see if s/he can make the necessary repairs, or contact the necessary agencies or
conservators to repair the work.
ppddir/pubartproc, drdoc 5
Deaccession/Relocation
After due consideration, the PAAC may recommend and the City Council may authorize
the removal of a work from the City of Iowa City' s Public Art collection. It is Iowa City's policy
to remove a piece only if one or more of the following situations exist:
· the artwork in its present state poses a safety hazard to the public or the environment
· restoration of the work aesthetically and/or structurally is not feasible, or the expense of such
restoration would be disproportionate to the value of the work
· the architectural support (building, wall, streetscape) is to be destroyed and relocation of the
work is not feasible
· prolonged protest of the work persists to the extent that the work detracts rather than
enhances the site and the community
· the work acts as an encumbrance to the use of public property
· the public use of the site has changed or is proposed to change in a manner that is no longer
compatible with the artwork.
If a work is to be moved/modified, the artist must be notified before the change, if at all
possible. In the instance that a work must be removed from the City's collection, the artist must
be notified and given the opportunity to purchase the art from the City. In all situations, the
rights of the artist will be respected as defined in the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990, unless
waived by the artist.

MEMORANDUM
Date: May 16, 2000
To: Iowa City City Council
From: Neighborhood Council of Iowa City
Re: FY2001 Program for Improving Neighborhood (PIN)
Grant Recommendations
The Neighborhood Council of Iowa City (NCIC) has recently reviewed the FY2001 grant
applications presented by various neighborhood associations for funding through the Program
for Improving Neighborhoods (PIN) Grant program. This is the sixth year the City has made
$25,000 in PIN funds available to neighborhood associations to make improvements in their
neighborhoods. The Neighborhood Council developed the program guidelines, the ranking
criteria, and process for evaluating the applications. The NCIC has formulated a
recommendation for the funding of Fiscal Year 2001 PIN grant funding for your review and
approval at the May 16, 2000 City Council meeting.
This year, nine applications from five neighborhood associations totaling $29,800 were
reviewed. The Neighborhood Council reviewed the applications, clarified details, ranked the
applications and recommended funding levels. Prior to final ranking of the applications, two
applicants reduced their funding request and one was withdrawn as it was felt that funding
should be pursued later.
The Parks and Recreation Commission also reviewed three of the grant requests at their May I0,
2000 meeting. They expressed concern regarding the two West Side Drive Neighborhood
Association grants involving the Planning and Implementation of the CERP (Conservation,
Education and Reclamation Project) because the areas to be improved are private property.
They also felt hesitant about the potential for the project requiring ongoing funding requests to
the City. They did not express any concerns regarding the Benton Street Park Improvement
Grant.
The following is a summary of the grant requests and funding recommendations:
COMPUTERS FOR KIDS - Wetherby Friends and Neighbors
Requested - $4000 Recommending - $4000
The application requests funding for the purchase and installation of two complete computer
systems that will be located at the Broadway Street Neighborhood Center. Wetherby Friends
and Neighbors feels that this contribution to the neighborhood center will strengthen their
neighborhood by creating learning opportunities for the children of the neighborhood and access
to up to date computer systems. Neighborhood Center staff will provide the technical support
and be responsible for ongoing maintenance and supplies.
REZONING A PORTION OF GOVERNOR AND LUCAS STREETS - Longfellow
Requested - $400 Recommending - $400
The application requests funds to pay for costs associated with the rezoning application and
process including the application fee, mailing, photocopying, photographs and long distance
calls expenses.
ALLEY GRAVEL RESURFACING - Longfellow
Requested - $400 Recommending - $200
The application initially requested $400 but it was determined that there was unexpended funds
from FY2000 PIN grant funds so the application request was reduced. The project involves the
applying of rock in neighborhood alleys to maintain a more level surface. Typically, because
property owners are responsible for the cost of maintaining alleys, it is difficult to make
improvements to a continual length of alley particularly if the adjoining property owner is an
absentee landlord or low income. This would be the third year for the program.
SIDEWALK REPAIR - Longfellow
Requested - $5000 Recommending - $5000
The application requests funding to assist low/moderate income or elderly residents replace
sidewalks adjoining their property as required through the City' s Sidewalk Inspection Program.
The Longfellow neighborhood is due to have their sidewalks inspected and marked this spring
with sidewalks required to be repaired by Fall, 2000.
RETAINING WALL FOR BUS SHELTER - Longfellow
Requested - $5000 Recommending - $3500
The application will fund the construction of a retaining wall in preparation for a new bus
shelter at the NE comer of Burlington and Summit Streets. The current grading of the area
requires that a retaining wall be rebuilt to accommodate a bus shelter. The location is a stop for
many bus riders. The Transit Department has not pursued a shelter due to the retaining wall
expense. The initial funding request was reduced when more competitive bids were received
for the required improvements.
PLANNING FUNDS FOR CERP (Conservation, Education and Reclamation Project) -
West Side Drive Requested - $5000 Recommending - $5000
The application focuses on improving the natural area noah of West Side Drive that includes a
water detention basin, wooded/grassed areas surrounding the basin, and portions of Willow
Creek and its tributaries upstream from the detention basin. The detention basin serves and is
the property of condominium associations in the West Side Park Addition. Although a storm
water detention facility easement agreement places maintenance responsibility for the facility
and easement area with the condominium owners, the current owners were not aware of this
obligation so no funds have been set aside for this maintenance responsibility. The $5000 grant
application includes the cost of developing a plan ($4000) to define the necessary improvements
for the area and cost for some improvements ($1000). The area has not been regularly
maintained since development of the subdivision and substantial improvements are necessary.
The Creek Maintenance Program has contributed approximately $10,000 of FY 2000 funds to
the project to help clean up all dead trees and materials and additional requests are expected.
CONSERVATION, EDUCATION AND RECLAMATION PROJECT (CERP) - West Side
Drive Requested - $5000 Recommended - $1900
This application requests funding for some of the improvements suggested by the Johnson
County Soil and Water Conservation District for the area (same as above). The requested
amount was reduced from $5000 to $1900 as that was the balance of funding available from the
annual $25,000 appropriation.
BENTON STREET PARK IMPROVEMENTS - Miller Orchard
Requested - $5000 Recommended $5000
The application requests funding to make improvements to the new Benton Street Park. The
neighborhood hopes to make some initial improvements prior to funds being available through
the Park and Recreation Department in July 2001.
SOUTH POINTE HOUSE WARMING - South Pointe
Requested - $5000 Recommended - $0
The application requested funding to provide vouchers to Welcoming Baskets prepared by the
neighborhood to offer to new neighbors of South Pointe. This application was withdrawn by
the neighborhood prior to the application review. They felt that there were more worthwhile
applications submitted and would prefer to wait or reevaluatc a future PIN grant application.
Attached are the applications with supporting documentation. Marcia Klingaman will be
available at your May 15th Work Session to answer questions you may have. The neighborhood
association's representatives will provide a brief presentation of the recommended 2001
Program for Improving Neighborhoods (PIN) Grants at your May 16 formal City Council
meeting. We look forward to discussing the 2001 PIN Grant applications with you then.

Does this project benefit low-income, elderly, youth or other disadvantaged youth? frye, please explain.
Yes, it will benefit those using the bus transit system, including elderly, youth and low-income. Many
eldedy in our neighborhood do not have the use of cars and use the transit system. A bus shelter will
provide a more hospitable place to wait for the bus. The bus shelter is handicap accessible and the pad
provides ample room for wheelchair occupants to enter appropriate buses.
Could the project occur without PIN funding?
No, the Transit Department has indicated they are unable to include the retaining wall expense at that
location.
Could the project operate with less fading?
Yes, a lesser quality retaining wall and less landscaping could be contracted for.

Wastside Drive Neighborhood Association was formed to address neighborhood needs of the flowage area, detention pond and venation.
Meetings have been held in December 1999; January and February 2000 with wdtten agendas being mailed by the city to approximate'
300 homes each time. Approximately 10% have attended the meetings. Five Committees have been formed and are as follows:
1. Comprehensive Planning Committee;
2. Two Grant writing committees
A. PIN Grant, and Environmental Advocates
B. Creek Maintenance Funding
3. Flowage Cleanup and Erosion Planning
4. Street lighting and Morman Trek BIrd. Access Monitoring
5) Coordinated Services Committee
The flash flooding and erosion in our creek beds affect all the neighbors. Neighbors are concerned about the environmental decline of the
area and wish to implement conservation efforts that are comparable and similar to the Kiwanis Park native praide plantings this spdng. The
Neighborhood Association needs funding sources to plan and complete the overall project. Tyn'cae Neighborhood invited the two
chairpersons on grant writing committees to their neighborhood meeting and shared their experiences with Kiwanis Park and water
drainage. Representation has been established with the Neighborhood Council so that we can understand the needs of other
neighborhoods and in turn they can understand our needs.
Those present at the Assodation meetings have agreed to Wesf~ide Dtfve Neighborhood Clean Up Day on April 22nd and will padidpate
in neighborhood efforts mentioned above. Neighbors are going to go door to door to explain the necessity of the long-term project, and its
benefit to the owners and City Park.

_~) Why is this project needed and what are its goals?
PLANNING IS THE KEY TO LONG RANGE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WESTSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION: (see appendix)
1 ) To develop the residents need to have "ownership" with whatever takes place. Some of the improvements the Neighborhood
Association is considering to adopt are significant undertakings. The more neighbors buy into the project, the more apt the changes
are to become permanent features of the neighborhood
2) T~deve~~pavisi~n~fwhattharesidentsintheWesteideareawantthaareat~~~~k~ikein2~5~1~~&2~years~
Utilize the reports from the Johnson County Soil and Water Conservation District's Environmental Spedalist and Urban
Conservationist, USDA's natural Resources Conservation Service. Develop short term, medium term and long term action items
for the project. As the action plan is being developed maintenance must be included, as it is critical to the success of the project.
3) Education of the neighborhood as to exactly what to expect Ume and appearance wise before planting
a. What a praide actually looks like
b. How is a praide maintained
c. Neighborhood knowledgeable and comfortable with the native vegetation prior to seeding it
d. Teach the slowness of prairie vegetation to establish its self, and what the area will look like while it occurs
e. Teach the neighborhood that initially it may look "weedy" and takes several years to "mature' into real praide
4) Watershed Management for the area in cooperation with the City and professionals:
a. Begin identifying the current landowners and land uses in the creek and storm water detention pond.
b. Identify what land uses will change in the future and their potential impact.
c. Discuss what best management practices are being installed to address the runoff and water quality issues that result from
urban development.
d. Identification of what things can be done with existing land uses to improve the water quality draining into the pond.
5) Development of Partnerships in the community: business, private and public.
a. Continue to develop good working relationships with Iowa City.
b. Continue to work with surrounding Neighborhood Associations and potential Kiwanis Park users.
c. Continue to identify other interested groups and individuals and keep them involved.
6) To continue to identify potential funding sources:
a. Develop a comprehensive list of funding sources
b. Utilize pdvate, City, State, Federal, and special organizations interested in the environment
c. At the long-range plan is developed match grants to the action plan.
D. Does this project benefit low-income, elderly, youth or other dissdventaged youth? Yes
It will provide additional educational and recreational activities to all people in the neighborhood, as there are egress and ingress areas
into Kiwanis Park and its pathway systems. The City will be completing the pedestrian bridge at the southwest comer of the detention
pond in the Spdng of 2001. This will double the access from the Westside Neighborhood. It will provide a jogging, and walking trail for
the eldedy. Disadvantaged youth from the Neighborhood will have a safe and cost-he environment. The play ground for our
neighborhood will provide a safe cost free area where many can find peace and tranquility, use the playground and use the interesting
bike trails to visit friends without risking an accident with traffic and still feel safe.
E. Could this project occur without PIN funding?
It would be VERY UNLIKELY that the funding would come from within the neighborhood for a project of this dimension.
Many of the neighbors consists of young families, college students, eldedy retired, handicapped on fixed incomes, or people in
transition.
F. Could the project operate with less funding? ~'~
Without complete funding requested, we would not be able to plan & complete the full project.
G. Will the project continue after the PiN funds end?
Yes X NO (if yes, what sources of funding will you use?)
Neighborhood residents will be encouraged to continue with planting & maintenance. Subsequent grants will be written and submitted to
pertinent organizations such as Iowa native Plant Society, Environmental Advocates, REAP, NRSC, Iowa Native Plant Society and others
as ascertained. Additional funding from Iowa City for rock ripImp may be needed in future years. We may have to apply for a second
and/or third year PIN grant forthis.

lIE: Site inspection of pond area for long-term vegetative management
DATE: 12/13/99
Mr. Bray,
Wayne Petersen and I visited the storm water detention area behind your condominium
association on Monday 12/6/99. We are writing to provide a summary. of some of the things we
noted and to provide some ideas/suggestions for what can be done with the area with regard to
:tag-term management (with an emphasis on vegetative management.)
The existing vegetation around the storm water detention pond is a mix of species but is
predominantly cool-season, introduced (Eurasian) species. The first thing we would encourage
you co consider is retro-~tting the area to a native landscape, using species that would have been
common to the area prior to European settlement. There are a number of advantages to going
with native landscaping and certain aspects that some might consider detrimental. We will
'3rie~y discuss the pros and cons of native landscaping, realizing that much more discussion
should occur prior to making decisions about the long-term management of the area.
Benefits of Native Landscaoin~....
A listing of some of the benefits of native landscaping/bllows, with a brief explanation of each
item offered:
> The main benefit of native landscaping is that it provides long-term stability. Native
vegetation tends to become stronger and more sustainable over time, keeping maintenance
requirements to a minimum. Non-native (especially turfgrass) systems will tend to weaken
and degrade (i.e. become weed invested) without significant maintenance and inputs. (You
can see the fragility of the turfgrass system on the dam near the outlet structure where the
banks are starting to unravel.)
;/- Because sustainability improves and maintenance needs go down over time, a native
landscape will produce long term cost savings compared to turfgrass systems that are
mowed, fertilized, etc. The native systems will appear more costly to install but over a ten
year period they can offer considerable cost-savings compared to highly maintained tuffgrass
systems. While the current vegetative system does not appear to be maintained with mowing,
fertilizing, etc the area will either require maintenance in the future or it is likely to degrade
to weedy species and/or woody (tree) species that would tend to shade out the introduced
herbaceous (/grassy) species and potentially ereate shore erosion problems. Woody infestation
would also limit access to the pond from the north side.
MISSION: To promote the wise use of soil and water resources.
All USDA programs and s~rvic~ ar~ offered on a non-discriminatory basis, without r~,ard to rac~, color,
nstionil ori$im scx, hi;c, mligio~ marlull status or hmdie, lp,
Native landscaping offers a dynamic visual alternative. A properly designed, installed, and
maintained native landscape will provide a kaleidoscope of color throughout the growing
season, and provide excellent winter habitat for a vari,mj of species. Introduced (turfgrass)
systems will tend toward a monoculture dominated by one species and will provide minimal
winter habitat. By providing more habitat for birds, insects, butterflies, etc. the native
landscape will enhance the environmental amenities of the community/neighborhood.
Native landscaping has the potential to increase property values, as people gain an
awareness of the ecological and aesthetic qualities it adds to an area.
Native landscaping can pre, ent goose infestation problems. We were rather surprised to not
see geese in the area on our field visit. If you don't currently have geese you might in the
future. While they are beautiful creatures, they can also create problems in an urban setting.
The taller native vegetation tends to discourage goose use, especially compared to a mowed
turfgrass habitat like you see on the east end of the pond.
Potential Negative Asoects to Native Landscaoin~ ....
We feel compelled to raise issues of concern about native landscaping. Some of these concerns
are myths, but others are valid points that should be discussed. We will discuss some common
concerns and offer thoughts that we feel offset them.
;,- Prairie is wild and ragged looking. This can be true, but the Association could work with
professional native landScapers to create a design and mix of species that will provide color
and beauty and diversity through, out the year while minimizing the wild look. The current
vegetati,,e regime also has a wild, unkept look to it without providing the colorful flowering
prairie species and other-amenities a prairie planting can provide. It is true that a native
landscape will not be like a mowed turfgrass system. It takes an understanding of the long-
term objectives and some "immersion" in the system to gain a full appreciation of the beauty
and intricacies and subtleties of a native landscape. Prairie plantings can be beautiful from
afar but are fascinating when. you are in amongst them.
>' Prairies create rat and snake problems. Yes and No. The rat issue is a myth. Prairies do
not provide habitat for rats (which are introduced species and not native to the prairie
region.) Rats prefer humah built habitat and would only frequent a prairie if garbage, meat
scrapes, dog food, etc. were available to them out there. Snakes are a different story. Native
landscapes will provide habitat for snakes. Snakes may be feared and not liked by some
people but the snake species that would be found in such an area would be harmless to
humans and would actually play an important role in the ecosystem (i.e. they would help
control insect and mice. Yes, mice may frequent the prairie but they are most likely out there
now in the existing vegetative system.). The snakes and mice that might live on the area
would also tend to lure in hawks, owls and other prey species, providing some exciting
nature viewing to residents that monitor the pond area.
} Prairie plantlags must be burned. While it is not absolutely required that native
landscaping be burned, it is the recommended management practice. Native landscaping can
be mowed and raked occasionally but an annual burn is usually recommended for an area
like yours if planted to native species (especially in the early years of establishment.). The
annual burn on this site would be quite easy and safe to conduct and would provide an
opportunity for the neighbors to participate together and make it an annual community event.
There are also professionals available that can be hired to conduct a maintenance bum.
Iowa City has an ordinance that prevents open burning. True, but your site could be
retrofitted and designated "a natural area" and then could receive a waiver and be granted a
permit to allow burning of the area. Once again, professionals can help you develop the bum
plan and obtain a permit.
Smoke from a prairie burn causes air pollution and respiratory problems. Yes and No.
The smoke from an annual prairie bum will put less particulate matter in the air than the
emissions from weekly lawn mowing over the course of a growing season. Smoke could
cause respiratory problems for residents, so it is imperative that people be educated on the
goals and management of native landscaping and then be notified prior to bums. It is
certainly possible to stay indoors or leave the premises while the bum is taking place to
prevent exposure to smoke related concerns.
Prairies create more pollen and allergy problems. Not true. Native prairie species are not
wind pollinated. They are pollinated by insects that move from plant to plant so they do not
contribute pollen to the atmosphere and will actually crowd out and suppress the ragweed
and other species that create most of the wind born pollen.
How To Proceed ....
Here is a brief description of the process you might consider following and a rough
dra~Joutline'ofwhat a concept plan for the area might include.
First, we recommend that you include the Lake Poim and Mallard Point complexes as
you move ahead with your investigation of alternatives. Whatever you decide to do in the future
should involve them. The rock riprap along the pond edge behind those complexes is
inconsistem with the rest of the water line. It is also beginning to show signs of needing
maintenance (i.e. weed growth breaking through) so future plans for that area should be
consistent with what you folks are discussing to create a more aesthetically pleasing and a more
holistic management plan for the water body and the neighborhood.
Second, you need to conduct meetings with the residents of the Park Edge Condo
Association (and hopefully Lake Point and Mallard Point residents) to discuss the current
situation and the potentials/alternatives for future management. These meetings should be
educational and motivational so residents leave understanding the issues and pumped up to do
something with long-term benefits. We can recommend some people you might bring in for
presentations.
Third, you need to develop a concept plan, design standards for implementation,
management plans, and cost estimates.
Fourth, you will need to secure financial assistance or raise funds to implement the
concept plan.
Fifth, put it on the land.
Concept Plan Content ....
Here are some thoughts about what a concept plan might include, with a focus on the native
landscaping theme with a couple of other potential options to include in future management of
the area.
Native Landscaping: You will need to better identify what vegetation is there now and
.- what you want in the ~ture. If you were to go with native landscaping you would probably want
to kill out the existing vegetation and seed a properly designed native mix(es). Because the water
line is prone to fluctuations, you will need to consider a different mix fi'om the existing water
line to the maximum water line (the zone subject to the ~ashiness or bounce of the detention
basin). This zone will likely need species that can withstand the fluctuations while the top of the
slope will benefit from a slightly different mix. Proper design can accommodate these different
zones in an aesthetically pleasing and effective way.
Fishery: We would encourage you to manage the pond as a fishery. If it is not stocked,
we would encourage you to consider stocking the pond with an appropriate mix of fish - if it has
adequate depth. Perhaps residents could have fishing parties and/or an annual fish fry in
conjunction with an annual maintenance burn of the native landscaping. We encourage you to
investigate the use of the pond as a fishery to create and foster a sense of community, get to
know neighbors, etc.
Trail: It would be possible to create a "lap trail" around the pond. The lap trail would
serve as a firebreak and provide a "private" walking or jogging trail for Park Side, Lake Point
and Mallard Point residents. It would also make the pond more accessible for fishing,
maintenance work, or other pond oriented activities (bird watching, skating, etc.).
You might want to consider clearing some of the woody species on the edge of the old
streambed on the north side of the pond and installing a mowed turfgrass path (a chipped
limestone path is another option but WoUld increase costs.) This path could serve as a firebreak
during maintenance burns of the native landscaping. Woody vegetation that was removed could
be bound into brush piles, dragged out on the ice in the winter, weighted with concrete blocks
; and then as the ice melts the brush piles will sink and provide fish habitat.
The tuffgrass trail along the old creek bed could be connected with the bermed - or fiat
area - above the rocked slope and below the concrete wall behind Lake Point and Mallard Point.
A "cross over" structure would need to l~e installed on the concrete outlet of the pond. We realize
a trail system might not be a critical need with the city parks and trails so close, but it is a
feasible option if there is interest in pursuing it.
Concerns .....
The dam on the east end of the pond will need treatment soon, as it is in a state of decline.
Rock riprap may be needed to correct the toe erosion that exists. It is interesting to note that the
shore line problems are occurring where a mowed tuffgrass system is being maintained,
indicating the inadequacy of that system for maintaining shore line stability. That area is
probably subject to wave action, which complicates the vulnerability of the area, so it needs to be
stabilized with riprap or the stronger native vegetation we've discussed in this document.
There is also some rather severe bank erosion occurring on stream to the north of the
detention pond (downstream or easterly of the junction with the old creek bed and the main
stream flow area.) This bank erosion could conceivably break through and impact the storm
water detention pond in the future. Iowa City has a small grant program for streambank
stabilization administered through the RiverFront and Natural Areas Committee. It may be worth
looking into the applicability of that program for the potential concern of the streambank erosion
causing a breakthrough.
The silt fan on the west end of the pond is unsightly. It should either be removed or
vegetated. We were perplexed as to the origin of this silt fan. It seems to sit in an area where
direct inflow would normally deposit sediment but there did not seem to be direct flow coming in
there. We wondered if it was the deposition point of opposite inflows off the Park Edge area and
the storm water system to the north.
We also had concerns about the inflow fi'om these two areas. The orientation or
alignment of inflow appeared to be situated in such a way that flows could escape the rocked
inlets to the pond. While no current evidence of problems exists, it may merit watching these
sites to ensure no small problems develop that become big problems if not detected and
addressed in a timely manner.
The neiehborina comnlexes ....
As ~ve assessed the site we felt we needed to walk around the entire detention pond. The
tbilowing comments address the neighboring complexes (Lake Point and Mallard Point). We
thought it might be prudent to share some of our thoughts with you in case you move ahead and
initiate discussions between complexes/associations.
First, as mentioned earlier, if you do vegetative work on the area along pond that you
own, we t~el it should be extended around the entire pond to make it a holistic and aesthetically
pleasing complex. The rocked shore line and concrete wall behind the Lake and Mallard Point
complex struck us as a stark, unpleasing design. This could be softened and beautified though,
and we ~vould once again urge that the three complexes have discussions and try to work
together on future planning and installations. We would recommend that the rock riprap be
cemoved From the shore!ine behind the Lake Point and :'viallard Point complexes and this area be
'cegetated as pan of the native landscaping retrofit mentioned earlier. The riprap could possibly
be used to stabilize the toe of the dam on the east end of the pond and/or used as part of the
streambank stabilization we mentioned in the "concerns" section of this document. We would
recommend bringing native landscaping up to the fiat, path-like area between the pond slope and
the concrete wall.
The concrete wall itself could be painted to outdoor murals to blend in with the native
vegetation and soften the hard concrete arablance of the area. We envision the pond becoming an
active use amenity in the future (see the lap trail concept mentioned earlier, or the idea of the
pond being managed as a fishing amenity, used as a skating rink in winter, etc.) If so, people
~vould be on the north side of the pond looking back - which currently is not an aesthetically
pleasing view. We would also envision the need to create access from the Lake/Mallard Point
parking lots to the pond by installing stairway systems down to the path/pond edge. It would also
be nice to make these areas wheel chair accessible, as well - at least the south edge of the pond.
Finally, we were curious about what appeared to electrical boxes along the concrete wall
and what appeared to electrical cables coming up out of the pond. Is there an aeration system in
the pond? Is there potential for a lighting system that might be used for night skating or jogging,
etc.
One last wild idea .....
The idea of retro~tting tuffgrass to native vegetation is a new idea to the community but
it is an idea that has taken hold in some communities. Native landscaping has economic and
environmental justifications that we have only briefly alluded to. It might be prudent. to have us "-
meet with the Condo Association Board in the future to discuss these concepts further. As W~
were leaving the site yesterday we noticed a large expanse ofturfgrass in the front lawn area of
the complex. We wondered what the cost of maintaining the lawn is and whether residents ever
used the area. fithere are lawn care costs and if the area is not used, then we would encourage
you to.consider retrofitring some of this front lawn area to a native landscape. The front lawn
would be more applicable to a precise garden plot type of design. This could be done in a way
that would beautify the area and make your complex unique to the neighborhood.
We appreciate the opportunity to review your site and provide these ideas. If we can be of further
assistance, please feel flee to contact us for follow-up discussion.

RE: Long-Range Planning for the WestSide Condo Area
DATE: 2/25/00
Dear Dan,
I strongly believe that for this project to succeed, the residents need to have ownership with whatever takes
place. Some of the improvements the Neighborhood Association is considering to adopt are significant
undertakings. As you already know, the more buy-in you have for the project, the more apt the changes are
to become permanent features of the property. As was discussed at the Neighborhood Meeting, the key is
developing a long-range plan for the Westside area. Per your request, I have put together some key
objectives that I think would be good to emphasize as you develop a long-range plan.
· VISION
Develop a vision of what the residents in the Westside Area want the area to look like in 2, 5, 10, and 20
years. Utilize the reports generated by our office and other professionals to develop goals and objectives
on how the Neighborhood Association plans to accomplish the long-range plans. Develop short term,
medium term, and long-term action items for the project. As the action plan is being developed, please
ensure that maintenance is included. Maintenance is critical to the success of your project.
· EDUCATION
There are some issues that the Neighborhood Association needs to get more information about. For
example, what does a prairie actually look like? It would be a good idea to actually visit some areas where
native vegetation exists. How is a prairie maintained? Burning is generally a key component in
maintaining prairies. How do the residents feel about burning? Native vegetation looks significantly
different from sod. Residents should be knowledgeable and comfortable with the native vegetation before
seeding it. Moreover, residents should also know that native vegetation establishes very slow in
comparison to sod and seeded yards. It could be 3-4 years before the forbes in a prairie mix start to
blossom. Prairie concentrates on developing its extensive root systems the first several years of its
establishment. Consequently, it is not uncommon to see a lot of weed pressure the first couple of years.
The bottom line is that it is imperative that the residents understand what native vegetation is all about
before the Neighborhood Association takes the plunge. I know of at least one example where native
vegetation was planted and 2-3 years later, the public wanted it removed. (Maintenance and education is
critical!)
· WATERSHED MANAGEMENT
It would be beneficial to develop a watershed management plan. Begin identifying the landowners and land
uses in the watershed that drain into the creek and storm water retention pond. Identify what landuses will
change in the future? What are the potential impacts of the changes? I think it is important to work with
the City of Iowa City to identify where potential development could occur in the watershed. Then, discuss
what best management practices are being installed to address the runoff and water quality issues resulting
from urban development. It is also important to identify what things can be done with existing land uses
to improve the water quality draining into the pond?
I will mail a couple of publications on "Getting to Know Your Local Watershed" and "Putting Together a
Watershed Management Plan". These will help give you a better idea of the issues to consider as you
develop a watershed management plan for the area.
· DEVELOP PARTNERSHIPS
You have already made a great start in pulling a variety of people together to get this project off the ground.
The creation of the Neighborhood Association and respective committees is a great asset for developing
relationships among the residents. As you have already been doing, it is essential to continue to develop a
relationship with the City of Iowa City. The City could play a very large role in this project. It will also be
important to work with the surrounding neighborhood associations and potential Kiwanis Park users. There
are obviously other groups and individuals which should be involved in this project. It would be beneficial
for your group to identify other interested groups and individuals and start to get them involved.
· IDENTIFY POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES
There are numerous funding sources that are potentially available to fund portions of your project. It would
be beneficial to develop a comprehensive list of the grant sources and contacts. Then, as the long-range
plan is developed, you could start matching grants to your action plan.
We are interested in helping as much as we can. Please feel free to give me a call if you have any questions
or concerns.

reducing sediment flow from the banks of two branches of south west Willow Creek (Little Creek) and the creek bed north of the
detention pond at the north end of Westside Drive.(Please see map in appendix )
_~) To summit an Environmental Advocates Grant March 1, 2000 for funding to purchase native Iowa seeds, or purchase live plants in May
2000 dudng the JCSWCD annual tree, seed and live plant sale.
3) Winter--fall 2000-2001: Teaching the neighborhood owners of creek beds, and pond banks about conservation & proper maintenance
of the planting. The Johnson County Conservationists, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and appropriate City of Iowa
City staff will be involved in these educational efforts. Two rounds of meetings will be held focussing on
I A. Rational for the project as outlined in the report dated 12/13/99 (see Appendix) from Johnson County NRCS and the Soil and
i Water Conservation District.
B. Spedtic instructions for conservation methods and plant maintenance by owners.
B) Describe the procase used to solicit neighborhood input into this funding request and summarize results:
Westside Ddve Neighborhood Assodation was formed and meetings have been held in December 1999; January and February 2000 with
written agendas being mailed by the city to approximately 300 homes each time. Approximately 10% have attended the meetings. Among
several committees formed, three are relevant to this application:
1. Comprehensive Planning Committee;
~ 2. Two Grant writing committees
3. Flowage Cleanup and Erosion Planning
All three, address concams of individual condominium associations and neighbors affected by pedodic flooding and constant erosion.
Neighbors are concamed about the environmental decline of the area and also concemed about the funding sources available to fund the
overall project.
i The flooding and erosion in our creek beds affects all the neighbors. Neighbors are concerned about the environmental decline of the area
and wish to implement conservation aftotis that are comparable and similar to the Kiwanis Park native praide plantings this spdng. The
, Neighborhood Association needs funding sources to plan and complete the overall project. Tyn'cae Neighborhood invited the two
;. chairpersons on grant writing committees to their neighborhood meeting and shared their experiences with Kiwanis Park and water

C. Why is this project needed and what are its goals?
To stabilize the north point of the eastern side of the detention pond identffied in the joint study of JCS&WCD's and USDA's
NRDCS December 1999 report. The erosion is threatening to break through from the creek into the pond. Included is an area around
the city bridge and the dam that also have severe erosion. Both of these sites may break threu.clh and ultimately cause drainage of the
detention pond.
2) To provide long-term stability, to slow and control the flow of flash flood waters through the Willow Creek bed south west of
the detention pond area with the goal of decreasing silt buildup in the west end of the pond. Current silt buildup removal by dredging
has an estimated cost of $100,000,
3) To further prevent creek bed erosion and silting by planting native Iowa grasses with deeper root systems designed to hold
the soil. Placement of rip/rap & rock will prevent continued erosion.
(Please see APENDIX: map, pictures and report; (recommendations of the Johnson county soil and Water Conservation
District) {JSD&WD}
4) To initiate the reclamation process by planting native Iowa grasses and wild flowers and placement of rip/rap as needed to
control erosion. The east shore of the detention pond has severe erosion that needs to be repaired. The rest of the pond banks are
an extension area for future reclamation as funds are available. Besides conserving our soil and water, a native landscape will produce
Ion~3 term cost savings. (Although more expensive initially to install), increase property values and offers a dynamic visual alternative
according to the JCS&WCD and NRSC joint report (see Appendix ).
The reclamation process to native Iowa prairie grasses and wild flowers mix is occurring in Kiwanis Park directly on the north side
of our detention pond. The reclamation of the area along the stream and around the pond will give our neighborhood a natural
extension for Kiwanis Park and concurrently will use conservation efforts to preserve the landscape.
D. Does this project benefit low-income, elderly, youth or other disadvantaged youth? If yes, please explain.
Not directly, but it will contribute to the aesthetics of the area abutting KNvanis Park trail to the north of the detention pond. This area is
also an integral pad of the view from the new houses being built along Teg Ddve as well as about 35 condominium units facing the pond
and PlaenView property owners. This will be a neighborhood elfoft and youth groups and Community Correction's volunteers will be
encouraged to participate in the conservation work
I
E. Could this project occur without PIN funding? Q
It would be VERY UNLIKELY that the funding would come from within the neighborhood for a project of this dimension. Many of the
neighbors are young families, college students, elderly, retired, handicapped, on fixed incomes, or people in transition.
F. Could the project operate with less funding?
Without complete funding requested, we would not be able to complete reclamation area.
G. Will the project continue after the PIN funds end?
Yes X NO (if yes what sources of funding will you use?)
Neighborhood residents will be encouraged to continue with planting and area maintenance. Further seeding may be necessary.
Subsequent grants will be written and submitted to pertinent organizations such as Iowa native Plant Society, Environmental Advocates,
REAP, NRSC, Iowa Native Plant Society and others as ascertained. Additional funding, from the City of Iowa C.,ity ,for rock rip/rap may
be needed in future years. We may have to apply for a second year's PIN grant for this.

Landfill; Kalona, and Riverside
From: Brad Neumann~JCCOG Solid Waste Management Planner
Re: Update of Regional Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan
As a member of Iowa City Landfill service area, your community/county is required by the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to participate in the ECICOG Regional Comprehensive
Solid Waste Management Plan. This document must be updated, approved, and resubmitted to
Iowa DNR every three years. This is our third update of this plan. The Iowa City Landfill service
area portion of the plan was dev,,e. Joped by a Johnson County Council of Governments (JCCOG)
subcommittee.
The 2000-2006 Update has been completed, and must be considered for adoption by the
following entities that are served by the Iowa City Landfill: Coralville, Hills, Iowa City, Lone Tree,
North Liberty, Oxford, Shueyville, Solon, Swisher, Tiffin, University Heights, Riverside, Kalona,
and Johnson County. If any of these entities do not adopt the updated plan, they must develop
their own solid waste management plan in order to remain in the Iowa City Landfill service area.
A copy of the comprehensive plan is enclosed, as well as a sample resolution. Please send me
a copy of the adopted resolution, signed and dated, before the end of May 2000. I will be glad to
attend City Council or Board meetings to discuss this matter in more detail if you wish.
Please contact me at (319)356-5235 if you have any questions or concerns.

Preface
In 1989, the East Central Iowa Council of Governments (ECICOG) coordinated the preparation of
the first Regional Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan. The plan was prepared and
submitted to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to meet the requirements of the
1987 Groundwater Protection Act. The landfills participating in the plan are: Benton County,
Bluestem Solid Waste Agency (formerly Cedar Rapids and Linn County), Iowa County, Iowa City,
Jones County, and Tama County.
The plan was received, reviewed, and approved by the IDNR in spring 1990. ECICOG hired a
regional solid waste planning coordinator to oversee the implementation of the comprehensive plan
in June 1990. The first subsequent plan was submitted in December 1993 and approved by the
IDNR in March 1995. The second subsequent plan was submitted in March 1997 and approved by
the IDNR in May 1997.
This update is a statutory requirement, pursuant to Iowa Code sections 455.304 and 455D.7, and
amended Chapter 101.5(7)"b"(2), Iowa Administrative Code, 1992. The document is formatted
according to the Planning Handbook (June 1995, Revised March 1998) published by the IDNR.
Although this third update was due January 1,2000, the IDNR granted an extension until April 14,
2000, in order to address Comprehensive Plan, Part I requirements regarding the proposed
Bluestem Solid Waste Agency landfill site. (Appendix A)
All information provided and material submitted herewith was prepared by the ECICOG solid waste
planning division under the direction of the Solid Waste Technical Advisory Committee of the
ECICOG Board of Directors, and on behalf of participating landfills and local governments.

Permitted Sanitary Disposal Projects
There is at least one public, permitted municipal solid waste landfill in each county of the ECICOG
Solid Waste Planning Area. Table 1.1 describes the service area for each landfill, the current
tipping fee at each facility, per capita charges, and estimated remaining capacity.

*Note: Planning area and service area are not the same. The service area represents the political entity(s)
from which waste is drawn; the service area is determined by the landfill's local governing board. Letters
from each landfill's governing board stating their respective policies regarding waste from outside their
service areas are included as Appendix J-3. The planning area represents political subdivisions that have
agreed to cooperate, when feasible, on issues, programs, and projects conceming waste reduction and
diversion, including recycling and education.
Design features for the permitted sanitary disposal projects in the ECICOG Solid Waste Planning
area are described in Table 1.2.

2 Underdrain systems are commonly installed at the time of cell construction
Extraction systems are usually installed to retofit a previously constructed cell to allow leachate recovery
3 Passive gas systems vent gas into the atmosphere
Active gas systems use an extration process to supply gas for energy production
Integrated systems require disposal capacity. Members of the ECICOG planning area support
integrated solid waste management systems recognizing that:
o:o Landfills have finite capacity.
o:o Composting/combustion have residual material that requires landfilling.
o:o Recycling is subject to supply and demand. This means that recovered materials may have to
be burned/buried when markets fail.
o;o Waste composition changes continually and affects how material is processed.
ECICOG solid waste commissions are mindful that meaningful integrated solid waste management
systems must be complementary and extremely flexible. Currently, and for the immediate future,
there is need for landfills. However, if the planning area is successful in implementing prevention
and recovery of waste, the need for landfilling will be reduced.
Other disposal facilities used by generators in the ECICOG planning area. Members of the
ECICOG solid waste planning area are aware of at least two mobile (truck-to-truck) transfer
operations that are hauling waste - generated in the region---out of the planning area. As of this
writing, these mobile transfer operations do not have permits, and the agency is not provided with
reports concerning tonnage, tipping fees, or final disposal facilities.
Various sources of information - such as the following Cedar Rapids Gazette article indicate that
additional tonnage is likely to leave the planning area in the future.

Competition for waste from private transfer operations presents tremendous challenges to publicly
supported solid waste management. For effective planning, it is necessary to know how much
material is being generated and where it is going,
Local governments - with their responsibility to protect human health and the environment for their
citizens - are obligated to provide the safe, efficient, and economic delivery of integrated solid
waste management services.
In the ECICOG planning area, local governments have made considerable investments in waste
disposal and material recovery programs. The policy adopted by the governmental units that own
landfills in the ECICOG planning area can be summarized as follows: waste deposited should
come primarily from local generators - the residents who live and work within the landfill service
area, which generally follows county boundaries. (Letters describing these policies are presented
in Appendix J-3).

*These facilities process and market materials; they are not just drop-off or collection centers.
Based on an ECICOG survey, yard waste collected curbside in the majority of the region's small
towns is deposited at the landfill, on city property, or on privately owned property. (Appendix F)
Numerous businesses and non-profit organizations in the ECICOG planning area process various
recyclables and/or manufacture recyclables into new products. Examples:
· Goodwill Industries provide drop-offs for used clothing and furnishings.
· The Salvage Barn in Iowa City deconstructs buildings and sells the architectural salvage
including fixtures, flooring, windows, and doors.
· Iowa Gold Distributing recycles oil filters and antifreeze.
· Recycled Products in Jones County makes windows, lumber, and lawn furniture from HDPE
plastic.
· Riverside Pallets in Riverside uses wood waste to make its product.

Businesses and organizations that accept recyclables are listed in the recycling guides of both
Johnson and Linn Counties (Appendix C). The Iowa Recycling D/rectory is another source of
information, Companies that collect, process, or are end users of recyclable materials are listed by
commodity and county as well as alphabetically.
Also available at the ECICOG office are the Environmental Building News (EBN) Product Directory,
Guide to Resource Efficient Building Elements, and other sources of information - including a list
of websites - that address environmentally friendly building materials, including products that have
recycled content.

* Benton and Tama counties use different baseline yeats than the other members of the planning area.
** Population figures for Iowa and Johnson counties are adjusted to reflect the makeup of the ECICOG planning region
(Map I). Iowa County does not include the City of Victor, while Johnson County includes the cities of Kalona and
Rivetside in Washington County.
ECICOG planning area population trend from 1988 to 1999 is compared to the solid waste
landfilled during the same time period in Figure 2.1. The population of the region has continued to
grow while the waste landfilled has remained fairly steady. The recent decline in waste is due to
increased waste reduction/recycling efforts as well as waste landfilled outside the planning area.

Waste Composition
The landfills in the planning area that have conducted waste composition studies are operated by
the Bluestem Solid Waste Agency and the City of Iowa City.
Linn County: In 1996, Bluestem commissioned a waste composition study at both landfill sites. The
objective was to develop a baseline for planning and implementing an integrated solid waste
management system for Linn County.
During the spring of 1999, a follow-up waste sod was conducted at both landfill sites. The follow-up
provided data that has helped the agency evaluate the effectiveness of a landfill cardboard (OCC)
ban as well as the implementation of pay-as-you-throw and curbside recycling in the county's two
largest communities--Cedar Rapids and Marion. The overall results of the 1999 waste sort are
displayed in Figure 2.2.
Among the 1999 findings:
· Old Corrugated Cardboard (OCC) composes 1.6 percent of the waste stream - by weight - at
Site #1 (landfill near downtown Cedar Rapids) and 0.6 percent at Site #2 (landfill outside of
Marion). In 1996 these figures were 8.9 percent and 6.6 percent respectively. The data speak
for themselves. There has been a substantial decrease in the percentage of recyclable OCC
that is currently landfilled.
· Total paper (including OCC) comprises 30.2 percent of landfilled waste. In 1996 this figure was
42.7 percent.
· Today 14.3 percent of landfilled waste is plastic, compared to 15.6 percent in 1996,

HHM represents household hazardous waste
The implementation of curbside recycling in Cedar Rapids and Marion, along with pay-as-you-
throw, are having an effect on the amount of landfilled material. However, the decrease is not likely
due in its entirety to increased source reduction and recycling. At least two haulers are collecting
materials and transferring them out-of-state for disposal. In addition, BFC, Inc., a gasification plant
established in Cedar Rapids in 1997, is taking materials from Cedar River Paper that were formerly
landfilled.
Based on existing patterns of disposal, it is reasonable to conclude that recycling and source
reduction are responsible for some of the reduction in landfilled materials at Bluestem sites, but not
all.
Johnson County: The City of Iowa City's landfill, which serves Johnson County and the cities of
Riverside and Kalona in Washington County, was selected as one of five Iowa facilities at which a
two-season waste sod was conducted. The project, sponsored by the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources, was executed during the fall of 1997 and the spring of 1998. The overall results of the
1997-1998 waste sort are displayed in figure 2.3,
The results include:
· Paper comprises about 32 percent of all waste landfilled.
· Food waste makes up approximately 13 percent while plastics constitute 15 percent.
· Household hazardous materials comprise nearly one percent, a small but toxic portion of the
waste stream.
Full reports of these waste sort studies are available at the followinq offices: Iowa Department of
Natural Resources, ECICOG, Bluestem Solid Waste Aqenc¥, Johnson Countv Council of
Governments (JCCOG).
Facilities that have not had waste sorts can use the results of these waste sorts. A methodolgy has
been developed that allows other landfills in the ECICOG planning area to characterize their waste
streams.
Major Industry Change
Commercial/Industrial/Institutional (C/I/I) waste varies from county to county. In Linn County, C/I/I
comprises nearly 75 percent of the waste stream. In the less populous counties, it is estimated that
C/I/I waste is about 40 percent.
An increase in economic activity increases the amount of C/I/I waste. In Tama County, for
example, expansion of the Mesquaki Casino has had an impact at the landfill.
In Linn County, Cedar River Paper, which located in Cedar Rapids in 1996, has annually increased
the amount of waste materials it generates. However, the majority is being composted at Bluestem
or incinerated at BFC, Inc.

SECTION 4. UPDATES ON PUBLIC PARTICIPATION OPPORTUNITIES
Ongoing Public Participation
In the ECICOG solid waste planning area, there are monthly opportunities for the public to
participate in integrated solid waste management at the county as well as regional level.
At the regional level, ECICOG's Solid Waste Technical Advisory Committee (SWTAC) meets the
second Thursday of the month at I PM at various locations around the region. Notice of the
meeting is provided to The Cedar Rapids Gazette and published bi-monthly in the ECICOG
newsletter, which is mailed to over 300 locations including city and county offices. In addition to
SWTAC members, the mailing list includes Iowa Waste Exchange staff who serve the planning
area. On request, the agenda is mailed to individuals/entities.
Voting members of the ECICOG SWTAC represent local integrated solid waste management
authorities. The figure below depicts the relationship between ECICOG and its member counties.
Figure 4.1
PLANNING FLOWCHART
· .'
At the county level, monthly public meetings are held by the solid waste commissions in Jones,
Tama, and Linn counties. Quarterly meetings are held in Iowa County by their Regional
Environmental Improvement Commission and periodic meetings are held by the Benton County
Solid Waste Disposal Commission,
Johnson County residents have regular opportunities to comment on solid waste comprehensive
plan issues at monthly meetings of the Johnson County Council of Governments and at meetings
of the Iowa City Council. The creation of a waste diversion advisory committee continues to be
discussed in Johnson County.
Opportunities to Comment on Subsequent Plan
To gather public input for entries into the current Subsequent Plan, integrated solid waste planning
meetings in each member county were conducted during fall 1999 (Table 4.1 ). It was at these
meetings that the six-year implementation plans found in Section 8 were devised. In addition, the
appropriate solid waste commissions and city councils, as well as the ECICOG Board of Directors,
adopted the Subsequent Plan at regular meetings during April and May 2000.

SECTION 5. SUMMARY OF PUBLIC EDUCATION ACTIVITIES
Waste reduction messages are delivered to the residential and commercial sectors in a variety of
ways from numerous sources at various levels.
Information concerning source reduction and waste diversion--including recycling, re-use, and
cornposting--is dispensed by such diverse sources as garbage haulers; school teachers; elected
officials; public waste entities; county extension services; waste and recycling organizations (e.g.
Iowa Recycling Association & Iowa Society of Solid Waste Operators); state agencies; local
governments; private recycling/composting processors; coileges& universities; local & national
media.
The messages described in this plan are only those that ECICOG and its member governments
have presented or co-sponsored. For the sake of readability, tables listing education activities for
each county are presented. (For further information regarding these activities, contact ECICOG.)
In addition. the role of ECICOG - including the Solid Waste Technical Advisory Committee - in
educating residents of the six-county planning area is described.
Bluestem sponsors educational
activities like this ~fagic School
Bus Show' at Lindale Ma~ in
~dar Rapids. ~agic School Bus"
uses familiar chamcte~ and music
to educate ~ildren about recycling
and waste reduction.
Bluestem's Education 'Specia~st
a~ends numerous mmmuni~ events
to en~urage children to submit
recycling tips to Mr. EaRh. This

Waste Reduction Education and Promotion: The Role of ECICOG
Early on, counties that joined the ECICOG solid waste planning area recognized the logic--
especially the economic sense of delivering educational messages as a group. Promoting
recycling and waste/toxicity reduction in the residential and business sectors region wide has been
a focus of the agency for the past decade.
Recent examples include:
· Tire recvclina/source reduction. At the request of member boards of supervisors, ECICOG
administers a region wide education and promotion program concerning tire recycling and
proper tire maintenance (See Appendix E for related materials.)
· Toxicitv reduction: Household hazardous waste. On behalf of member landfills, ECICOG is
coordinating the placement of permanent collection facilities for household hazardous waste.
By 2001, all residents of the planning area will have access to a facility; ECICOG will have a
major role in educating citizens about their use :
· ToxicitV reduction: White aoods. ECICOG
made presentations to member
agencies/landfills concerning the proper '; ~?'~'~* ;
handling of white goods, particularly the
dangers associated with hazardous materials
· Toxicitv reduction: Safe Chemicals in Schools.
Staff has facilitated a task force addressing Metals and white goods recycling at Bluestem
chemicals in schools that has resulted in a
workshop for the region's school personnel and a pilot project addressing the situation.
· Residential recvclin.q. ECICOG designed and produced recycling brochures as well as the
method of delivery that has worked well in three member counties, Tama, Jones, and Benton.
(Appendix C).
· Recvclinq and source reduction: ECICOG promotes and administers the Bluestem Outreach
Investment Program (OIP). This landfill-funded grant program is available to any Linn County
business, local government, or not-for-profit-agency for recycling/source reduction equipment.
In addition, ECICOG staff has made various presentations to school and civic groups. In
1999, for example, several presentations were given
over the Iowa Communications Network to schools in
the ECICOG planning area.
ECICOG staffed the Linn County Rural Recycling
Task Force (1998~1999) and continues to edit The
Landfill Link (Attachment J-11 ), the Board of
Supervisors waste diversion newsletter that is mailed
twice each year to 10,000 rural Linn County households.
ECICOG assisted with the 1999 Bio-Cycle/Iowa
Recycling Association fall conference, one of many
events the agency has helped sponsor during the past Part of the Hazmat Bingo school
decade. presentation/activity presented over the
Iowa Communications Network
29
· Buy recycled. To draw attention to products that contain recycled materials, ECICOG has, for
example, staffed a display at a Cedar Rapids Target Store and promoted/administered a grant
program that funds the purchase of products containing scrap tire material.
· Compostin.q. ECICOG has provided assistance to several composting projects including:
Distribution of backyard composting bins to Linn County residents (1998); assistance with
Kirkwood Community College composting facilities (1997-98); assistance with Anamosa State
Penitentiary compost facility (1997-98).
· Commercial source reduction/recVclin.q. ECICOG works closely with the Iowa Waste Exchange
representatives serving the ECICOG planning area. During the past three years, ECICOG and
IWE have worked, for example, on construction and demolition projects as well as a
cooperative collection/marketing project.
· Sustainable or ".qreen" buildin.el. ECICOG has collected numerous sources of information
concerning environmentally friendly building for use in its lending library as well as
administered a green building project (Cedar Rapids Community Schools "eco-house":
Attachment J-9). The ECICOG Solid Waste and Housing departments have initiated a joint
project, Green Rehabilitation for Ownership (GRO), to promote environmentally friendly
building concepts within a housing rehabilitation program. Staff has made numerous
presentations and consulted on several projects, including the Linn County Conservation
Wickiup Education 'facility.
The membership has also recognized the benefits associated with regional contracts and has
directed the staff to facilitate these efforts. For example:
White .cloods collection & processin.cl RFP/contract. Currently, five of the planning area's six
counties have contracted with one white goods processor as a way to standardize expectations
involving proper handling of this material as well as obtain the best handling fee. This approach
has also raised the level of knowledge concerning hazardous substances contained in white goods
among decision-makers and landfill personnel. ECICOG facilitates the request for proposal
process and prepares the agreements, but
landfills administer their own contracts.

Other Public Education Efforts in the ECICOG Solid Waste Planning Area
As stated in the introduction to this section, waste reduction and recycling educational activities are
sponsored by a variety of groups and organizations. Among them:
· Anamosa State Penitentiary: Provides tours of its composting facility.
· Cedar Rapids Community School District: Supports waste reduction and recycling curriculum
and a sustainable building trades program. (Though Cedar Rapids is the largest school project
-- approximately 20,000 students and staff -- it is by no means the only school where waste
related curriculum and projects are in place.)
· Cedar Wapsie Group Sierra Club: Promotes sustainable development and other environmental
causes.
· County Extension: Tax supported service that supports a variety of waste reduction activities
· Environmental Advocates: Iowa City/Johnson County non-profit organization.
· County Health Departments. Address environmental hazards such as illegal dumping, waste
tire piles, etc.
· Iowa Department of Education: Supports environmental education in various ways including
workshops, curriculum, and a newsletter
· Iowa Department of Natural Resources: The Waste Management Assistance & Environmental
Protection Divisions address waste issues through workshops, grant programs, newsletters,
etc.
· Iowa Recycling Association: Sponsors waste reduction/recycling workshops and newsletters.
· Kirkwood Community College, The University of Iowa, Coe College, Cornell College, Mount
Mercy College. The higher education institutions in the planning area offer related coursework
and expertise as well as provide a source of volunteers for various waste management
projects. At Kirkwood, for example, a Landfill Operators Course is offered as well as
courses/workshops in on-farm composting, municipal solid waste cornposting, and backyard
cornposting.
· League of Women Voters. Different chapters in the planning area have offered programs
concerning waste management issues.
· Soil and Water Conservation Service: Tax supported service that is occasionally involved in
waste management programs. In Benton County, for example, SCS sponsored county Toxic
Cleanup Days.

SECTION 6. INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM/EVALUATION
OF PROGRESS TOWARD MEETING THE GOALS
SOURCE AND TOXICITY REDUCTION
Educational programs such as Bluestem's Holiday Waste Reduction media campaign are intended to
encourage reduction at the source and re-use. Source reduction (e.g. "Buy Less Stuff") has been the
topic of presentations given by Bluestem, ECICOG, and JCCOG staff.
Source reduction activities within commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities in the ECICOG
Planning Area'have been an important part of overall waste reduction. A Cedar Rapids firm, MCI, for
example, purchased a dishwashing system and ceramic dishware to replace the styrofoam and other
disposables being used in the company cafeteria--a project funded, in part, by the Bluestem Solid
Waste Agency
Safe Chemical Management in Schools, a pilot program facilitated by ECICOG, is focusing on
chemical use and administration in schools.
Backyard composting is being promoted by solid waste commissions and Extension Services in a
variety of publications.
Environmentally preferable purchasing (EPP) has also been the topic of presentations given by solid
waste planners/educators in the region. During 1998, a Linn County rural recycling task force
recommended that Linn County adopt policies implementing EPP in an effort to reduce waste and
toxicity. The Linn County Board of Supervisors adopted the recommendation, and recently hired a
new purchasing agent whose responsibilities will include EPP.
By establishing permanent facilities for the collection of household hazardous waste at member
landfills, the region is significantly reducing toxicity--at landfills and presumably at water/sewage
treatment plants as well as in storm sewer drains.
Currently, household hazardous waste collection facilities are in place in Linn and Jones Counties.
The Jones County facility, which opened in the spring of 1999, has collected 1,260 pounds from over
250 households at local mobile events and 77 individuals bringing items to the satellite facility. In the
past two years, Bluestem has shipped approximately 63 tons of hazardous materials and placed
nearly 20 tons in its Swap Shop.
By fall 2000, programs should be established in Johnson, Benton, Iowa, and Tama Counties.
ECICOG will oversee education and promotion activities associated with these collection facilities.
Residential source reduction has also contributed to overall waste reduction. Many of the 71
communities in the ECICOG Planning Area have adopted unit-based pricing systems for waste
collection. Map II depicts the 25 communities with unit-based pricing programs, most of which have
base fees and a per bag or sticker charge. Unit based pricing or pay-as-you-throw is known to
contribute to source reduction.

RECYCLING AND REUSE
The ECICOG Planning Area achieved the 25 percent waste reduction goal in 1994; currently waste
reduction is 44 percent. In addition to source reduction efforts, recycling has and continues to play an
instrumental role in waste reduction.
All of the residents of the ECICOG Solid Waste Planning Area have access to recycling drop-offs,
curbside collection programs, or both. Map III shows the distribution of the collection options for
recyclables.
A majority of communities - 38 of 71 - in the ECICOG Planning Area have curbside collection
programs for recyclables. Communities as large as Cedar Rapids and as small as Dysart offer single-
family households the opportunity to recycle at the curb. Eleven communities have both curbside and
drop-off programs.
Recycling opportunities in each community in the ECICOG Planning Area are summarized in
Appendix F. The type of program, frequency of collection, and materials accepted are identified. The
locations and availability of residential recycling drop-offs are summarized in Appendix G.
A unique drop-off facility is located at Amana Appliances in Middle Amana, Iowa. Initiated in 1990,
their enclosed recycling center accepts 20 different recyclable items from employees as well as the
surrounding community. A company produced educational brochure is included in Appendix C.
Reuse of materials is handled mainly by non-profit organizations and the private sector. Goodwill,
Salvation Army, St. Vincent De Paul, and the YMCA operate well-known reuse programs and stores.
Retail outlets, such as the Second Act in Cedar Rapids/Iowa City and Rags to Riches Consignment in
Marion, offer used clothing. Eco-Youth (Mid-America Housing Program) in Linn County and the
Salvage Barn in Johnson County deconstruct houses/buildings and re-sell usable construction
materials. Rockwell-Collins refurbishes computers and distributes them to schools and non-profit
groups.
The Bluestem Pollution Prevention Center offers used products - paints and cleaners for example -
free of charge in its Swap Shop.

area, and the quantities collected in 1999, are presented in Table 6.1. More than 334,000 tons of
recyclable materials generated in the six-county region were processed at these facilities. (Scrap

Managing Special Wastes/Recyclable Materials
Due to their volumes and properties, various materials require special handling at the region's
landfills. They include:
Hazardous material recyclinG/re-use/proper disposal. As described previously, collection facilities for
household hazardous waste will soon be in place at each member landfill. Like the Bluestem Pollution
Prevention Center serving Linn County, the Iowa City Landfill will take hazardous materials from
conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQGs) as well as households.
Though the tonnage is not significant, removing hazardous waste from landfills significantly
reduces toxicity. Materials collected in these programs are recycled, re-used, or properly disposed.
Scrap tire rec¥clinq. By Iowa law, whole scrap tires are banned from landfills. Today, most old tires
are chipped and used for fuel or processed into crumb rubber for use in new products (mats, flooring,
railroad crossings, etc.) Five of six county landfills charge residents for tire disposal; Jones County
accepts tires without rims free of charge.
White floods recvclin.q. Several components within white goods are regulated at either the state or
federal level. These materials, such as PCB's and freon, must be removed before the unit can be
recycled.
As noted earlier, five of six member landfills use the same white goods processor. ECICOG
issues the request for proposal and helps prepare contracts between each landfill and the processor.
In addition to securing white goods processing services, the contracts include reporting requirements
that are above and beyond the state and federal regulations. The request for proposal process and
contract language provides a tool for landfills to track the regulated components from white goods.
ECICOG has responded to several requests for the RFP/contract document. EPA Region 7 CFC
Specialist, Alice Law, considers the RFP/contract document a model for managing white goods and
refers solid waste agencies to ECICOG.
Computer equipment recvclin.cl/proper disposal. Bluestem conducted a pilot project during fall 1999
that encouraged Linn County residents to drop off personal computers and accessories free of
charge. Nearly 23 tons of equipment was collected and processed for recycling and proper disposal.
Emphasis was placed on equipment that could not be re-used or re-sold.
As a result of the pilot, Bluestem is establishing a permanent program for the collection of this
material. According to the National Recycling Coalition (NRC), Bluestem is the first integrated solid
waste management agency of its size to implement a program of this nature. The few computer
recycling programs that exist are in much larger metropolitan areas.
Asphalt shinfiles. Three of the planning area's landfills have experimented with shingle recycling.
Benton County has led the way, directing contractors to separate shingles and deposit them
separately at the landfill. The shingles are ground and spread on sections of county roads as a dust
control measure. The material works well for dust control, but there are issues concerning nail
removal.
Landfill Bans in the ECICOG Solid Waste Planning Area
Jones Countv. In 1991, Jones County implemented a landfill ban on all recyclables. Cities in Jones
County have mandatory curbside collection of recyclables and have achieved significant progress
toward the state's 50 percent waste reduction goal by 2000. (Figure 6.1, page 40)
Businesses in Jones County have cooperated with the landfill ban. Several have worked with
the Iowa Waste Exchange to divert material including one company that annually recycles more than
900 tons of aluminum lined paper packaging.
37
Linn County. Beginning January 1999, Bluestem implemented a ban on old corrugated cardboard
(OCC) resulting in significant OCC landfill diversion. In 1996, OCC comprised 8.4% of municipal solid
waste (MSW) compared to 1.5% after full implementation of the ban in 1999. For the institutional/
commercial/industrial sector these figures are 11.4% and .8% respectively. The education program
preceding the ban's implementation is the reason the ban has been successful. The direct mail
component of the education program was recognized for its creativity and effectiveness with a 1998
Addy Award from the Advertising Federation of Cedar Rapids. (Appendix J-7)
Landfill funded grant programs supporting source reduction & recycling
In 1997, the Bluestem Solid Waste Agency implemented a new grant program, Outreach Investment
Program (OIP), to encourage recycling or source reduction through direct, one-time financial
investments in equipment. Linn County businesses, non-profit groups, and communities are eligible
for the program which funds 50 percent of the cost of recycling or source reduction equipment up to
$10,000.
To date, Bluestem has awarded $277,042 in OIP funds to enhance recycling and source reduction
programs in Linn County. Equipment funded includes cardboard balers, recycling bins, collection
vehicles, dishwashers, and compactors. Since 1997, an estimated 12,000 tons of waste has been
diverted from Linn County landfills as a result.
In 1998, the Iowa City Landfill followed Bluestem's lead and implemented its own program. The Iowa
City Waste Reduction Grant Program funds 75% of waste reduction/diversion programs up to $5,000.
Grants have funded everything from recycling bins to re-usable travel mugs to waste diversion fact
sheets. To date, Iowa City has awarded $75,000 in grants that enhance recycling and source
reduction.
Waste reduction programs for business and industry
The Iowa Waste Exchange (IWE), Iowa Waste Reduction Center, and Waste Reduction Assistance
Program (WRAP) work with business and industry in the planning area to reduce and recycle. 'l'he
1997-1999 activity of all three programs -- number of companies assisted and amount of solid waste
reduced or diverted from a landfill -- is summarized in the following table.

Bluestem contributes a half-time salary to the Iowa Waste Exchange (IWE) so that Linn County is able
to have a full-time IWE representative. IWE focuses on I/C/I or the institutional, commercial, and
industrial sectors. From 1997-1999, the IWE assisted 120 Linn County companies, diverting nearly
6,000 tons of material from Bluestem landfills.
38
From 1997-1999 the IWE assisted 192 businesses to divert more than 14,500 tons of materials from
landfills in the ECICOG solid waste planning area. Iowa Waste Exchange representatives serving the
ECICOG planning area are housed at Kirkwood Community College; call 319-398-4904 for more
information.
From 1997-1999, the Iowa Waste Reduction Center (IWRC) provided technical assistance to 57 small
businesses (fewer than 100 employees) in the ECICOG solid waste planning area. This assistance
resulted in 24 tons of waste being diverted from landfills. For more information, contact the IWRC
office, University of Northern Iowa, 319-273-8905.
From 1997-1999, the Waste Reduction Assistance Program (WRAP) identified waste reduction
projects with the potential to save nearly $2.5 million and divert nearly 3,000 tons of waste for seven
large businesses (more than 100 employees) in the ECICOG solid waste planning area.
The potential cost savings is attributable to waste reduction as well as to activities or conditions
associated with air emissions, chemical usage, electrical, hazardous waste, natural gas, water and
waste water. For more information, contact the WRAP office, Iowa Department of Natural Resources,
515-281-8927.
COMBUSTION
Due to cost and environmental risks, the original 1989 regional plan did not recommend public
ownership of a waste-to-energy facility. The original plan discusses the possibility of private
ownership, but in the decade since, no private entities have emerged with a viable proposal. Capital
costs are high and waste flow is an issue.
The single waste-to-energy/combustion project in the ECICOG planning area is BFC, Inc., a
gasification plant that is being defined as a recycling processor. The plant burns material described as
biomass. Biomass streams include materials such as wood, sawdust, paper mill sludge, and corn.
The plant sells the electricity generated to Alliant Energy. During FY99, materials diverted from
landfills in Linn County was nearly 10,000 tons.

EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PLANNING AREA'S WASTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
The solid waste abatement and the base-year adjustment tables for the ECICOG Solid Waste
Planning Area are presented as Table 6.3 and Table 6.4, respectively. Using the original methodology
of the waste abatement table, the ECICOG Solid Waste Planning Area achieved a 35 percent
reduction in landfilled tonnage. The Solid Waste Abatement table for each county is included as
Appendix H.
The base-year adjustment method (Table 6.4) is provided as a more accurate calculation of waste
diverted because it accounts for the significant growth in the area's retail activity. Using the base-year
adjustment method, the ECICOG Planning Area has achieved a 44 percent reduction in landfilled
tonnage. Tables for member counties are included in Appendix I.
Waste reduction percentages from the base-year adjustment method are shown graphically for each
county and the entire ECICOG Planning Area in the following figure.

SECTION 7. RE-EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES ACCORDING TO THE
STATE'S WASTE MANAGEMENT HIERARCHY
The following is a description of how the state's waste management hierarchy continues to be
incorporated into the ECICOG planning area. The hierarchy, in descending order of preference, is:
a. Volume/toxicity reduction at the source
b. Recycling and reuse
c. Other approved techniques of solid waste management including, but not limited to,
combustion with energy recovery, combustion for waste disposal, and disposal in sanitary
landfills
Source/toxicity reduction. In the ECICOG planning area, 25 of 71 communities have
implemented unit based pricing or pay-as-you-throw, known to have an impact on source
reduction.
In addition, the Iowa Waste Exchange and Waste Reduction Assistance Programs have assisted
businesses with source reduction. A Linn County company, for example, re-designed the way it
packaged its product, reducing the amount of material landfilled from 365 tons to approximately
183 tons annually.
Landfills and solid waste planning agencies in the ECICOG planning area have conducted
education and promotional campaigns addressing source reduction. Examples, provided in other
sections of this plan, include:
· Bluestem Holiday Waste Reduction media campaign
· ECICOG Scrap Tire Program
· Iowa City Landfill Waste Reduction Grant Program
· Bluestem Outreach Investment Grant Program
· Bluestem, ECICOG, JCCOG classroom presentations concerning source reduction
Reducing toxicity is just as important as waste reduction. To date, two of the planning area's six
counties have hazardous collection facilities in place. Within the next year, all six counties are
scheduled to have collection centers operating.
Other programs, mentioned earlier, that address toxicity reduction include storm sewer labeling
and Safe Chemical Management in Schools,
Assessment: Though the best way to reduce waste is through source reduction, it is the most
difficult to address. Planners and others striving to reduce waste are competing with a cultural and
economic system that thrives on consumption.
Be that as it may, ECICOG and comprehensive plan participants will continue to advocate source
and toxicity reduction using strategies that have served the region well. Among them:
· Encourage pay-as-you-throw
· Promote proper tire maintenance to reduce the number of scrap tires generated annually
· Conduct media campaigns and give presentations that promote ideas such as "buy less stuff."
· Promote sustainable building
· Promote re-use, including materials salvaged from demolition projects
· Promote back-yard composting
· Promote/implement storm sewer labeling
· Promote use of hazardous collection facilities and more environmentally friendly products
43
Recycling & Reuse. In the ECICOG planning area, 38 of 71 communities have curbside recycling
and all residents have access to drop-off facilities. The most recent communities to implement
curbside recycling (and pay-as-you-throw) are the cities of Cedar Rapids and Marion, the two
largest communities in the region.
Recycling special wastes such as tires, white goods, computer equipment, and asphalt shingles,
subjects addressed earlier, has been taken to a new level in the ECICOG region during the past
three years. To assure proper handling of these materials, member solid waste commissions and
landfills are demanding better accountability from processing contractors.
As noted previously, Jones County has banned recyclables from its landfill. The result has been a
46 percent waste reduction. In Linn County, old corrugated cardboard (OCC) was banned
beginning January 1, 1999.
These bans have significantly reduced the amount of material headed to these landfills. However,
there is evidence that some of the reduction may be the result of waste leaving the planning area
and being landfilled in out-of-state facilities. In fact, waste hauling companies that have transfer
capability are soliciting customers who do not want to separate recyclables/OCC from their waste.
As noted, the Iowa Waste Exchange and the Waste Reduction Assistance Program work with
business and industry to recycle/reuse waste materials. In 1995, Bluestem joined with the IDNR to
employ a full-time staff person to serve business and industry in Linn County only. This is an effort
to focus on the commercial sector, which generates more than three-fourths of the county's waste.
IWE reports, for example, about one company in Benton County that annually recycles 1,300
pallets, 2,400 pounds of cardboard, and approximately 210 metal drums. Ten years ago, this
material would have been hauled to the landfill.
Assessment: The most tangible of waste reduction strategies, recycling has been central to the
region's diversion tactics. Despite the fact that markets for recyclables are unexceptional,
communities continue to support curbside and drop-off programs for their residents, solid waste
agencies continue to discuss and implement bans, and landfills continue to fund recycling
programs. However, recycling is not complete until consumers purchase products with recycled
content.
During the next six years, more emphasis will be placed on recycling/re-using construction and
demolition (C&D) materials; purchasing products with recycled content as well as products that are
durable and less toxic; and diverting toxic materials from landfill~. In process currently is a new
publication, A Contractor's Guide to Construction & Demolition Waste Management, a booklet
compiled by Bluestem for use by local builders and contractors.
The region plans to sustain and encourage more of the following:
· Curbside/roadside recycling
· Business recycling
· Buy recycled (For example, the Scrap Tire Products Grant Program -Appendix E)
· Environmentally preferable purchasing
· Sustainable (green) building
· Recycling/re-using/diverting household hazardous waste
44
Composting. Bluestem Site #3, located in Cedar Rapids adjacent to Site #1, is the planning area's
largest composting facility. Approximately 118,000 tons of yard waste, paper sludge, and other
organic material were composted in FY99. Drywall and clean wood waste are also added to the
mix.
Bluestem bags their finished compost, which is marketed in several midwest states, as Big Blue
Topsoil.
Other permitted composting facilities in the ECICOG planning area:
· Kirkwood Composting Facility
· Kirkwood Dead Animal Composting Facility
· Anamosa State Penitentiary Composting Facility
· D & D Ranch: Vermi-composting Facility
In addition, 50 of 71 communities have yard waste composts that do not require permits.
Assessment: As more materials are diverted from landfilling, organics comprise a larger portion of
the waste stream. In response, cornposting is drawing more attention. Bluestem and Iowa City are
investigating ways to increase the number of materials diverted to their composting facilities.
Recently, for example, Iowa City reduced the tipping fee for clean wood and yard waste at the
landfill in order to encourage the use of the compost facility. Bluestem has added drywall and other
clean construction waste to its cornposting mix.
Small communities continue to examine ways to better manage yard waste and brush. The town of
Coggon, for example, is currently preparing a comprehensive plan that addresses integrated solid
waste management, including composting. North Liberty is expanding community composting as
well.
Backyard composting will continue to be promoted, particularly by Extension Services through the
Master Gardener Program, as well as through various recycling/waste reduction publications.
Bioreactor cell technology
In 1998, Bluestem initiated a pilot project to test a new bioreactor technology. Briefly, 60% of the
waste placed in the 'cell decomposes over a seven year period after which it is mined. Of the
material left, approximately 20 percent is landfilled. If successful, this technology will reduce the
need for landfilling dramatically. According to John Skinner, Executive Director and CEO of Solid
Waste Association of North America (SWANA), "By increasing landfill life and reducing the time
and costs of post-closure care, bioreactor landfills may be the next great advance in landfill
technology which could permanently change the way landfills are designed and operated." (Waste
A.qe, January 2000) For more information about bioreactor cells, see Appendix J.
Combustion. The state of Iowa does not recognize incineration as waste reduction. Together with
the expense and amount of feedstock required, combustion does not currently offer a viable waste
disposal method for municipal solid waste in the ECICOG solid waste planning area.
45
Costs associated with recycling/waste diversion programs
In fall 1999, solid waste commissions calculated the costs of their respective waste reduction,
recycling, and education activities. These activities included the following:
,/Tire collection and processing subsidies
/ White goods collection and processing subsidies
,/Computer equipment collection and processing subsidies
v' Compost operation subsidies
v' Costs associated with processing recyclables
· / Cost of operating drop-offs for recyclables
-/Administrative costs of bans on recyclables
,/Costs associated with brochures, ads, websites, advertising/education campaigns, booklets,
etc. that encourage and/or provide information about recycling and waste reduction
,/Costs associated with HHW facilities and/or toxic clean-up days
FY99 costs are summarized in the following table.

September and November to discuss the plan update. At the September meeting, progress toward
goals established in the fall of 1996 for 1997-2000 were evaluated.
Improvements to landfill scale house. According to the county engineer, the issues
concerning the facility were resolved.
Curbside recycling, Only one community, Urbana, has expressed interest in curbside
recycling.
Changes in state hierarchy. Incineration is now at the same place in the hierarchy as
landfilling.
c~ Increase awareness about integrated waste management among public. Additional
information has been distributed to residents about use of the county's recycling drop-offs. For
two consecutive years, a recycling brochure has been distributed to every household in
Benton County. Also, the Iowa Waste Exchange representative has worked with several
Benton County businesses.
Q Landfill financing. The way the landfill is financed was evaluated and local officials decided
to continue supporting the facility via per capita assessments.

Iowa County Six Year Implementation Plan and Schedule (2000-2006)
Members of the Iowa County Regional Environmental Improvement Commission (REIC) met t~NiCe in
the fall of 1999 to discuss progress in the areas of waste and toxicity reduction as well as recycling
during the past three years and to establish goals for the next six years.
Progress made toward goals established in the fall of 1996 include the following.
Synthetic cover. Purchased in 1999, the synthetic cover is among technologies that the
landfill is using to conserve resources.
Tire recycling/education. Since 1996, the county has participated in the regional tire
collection, processing, and education program facilitated by ECICOG.
Drop-offs for recyclables. The REIC continues to sponsor the monthly recyclables drop-off in
Marengo, as well as promote the use of the Amana Refrigeration and Cox Sanitation drop-offs
located in Amana and North English respectively.
n Curbside & business recycling in Iowa County communities. Three of six communities
have city wide curbside collection of recyclables; the other three in the plan--as well as
the rural area--have curbside by subscription.
~ Household hazardous waste (HHW). Iowa County held a toxic clean-up day in 1997; during
2000, a permanent satellite facility for the collection of HHW will be sited at the landfill.
Goals established for 2000-2006 follow.

Johnson County Six Year Implementation Plan and Schedule (2000-2006)
The planning group in Johnson County was assembled for the purpose of updating the
comprehensive plan. The committee met two times in October and November 1999 to discuss
progress towards waste reduction and recycling goals during the past three years and to establish
goals for the next six years.
Progress made toward goals established in the fall of 1996 include the following.
n Household hazardous waste (HHW). During 2000, a permanent Regional Collection Center for
the collection of HHW will be sited at the landfill for use by residents in Johnson County and the
cities of Kalona & Riverside.
a Increase recycling and waste reduction among the commercial sector. In addition to
promoting the Iowa Waste Exchange services, the Iowa City Landfill established the Waste
Reduction Grant Program to support projects that reduce waste going to the landfill. To date,
approximately $75,000 has been awarded to businesses, non-profit agencies, schools, and local
units of government for recycling equipment and education programs.
Waste characterization. A waste sort was completed in 1998, providing the county with detailed
information concerning its waste.
a Waste management. The city/county continue to assess the impact of private transfer operations
on integrated waste management.
n Incineration. Medical incinerators in the county are being closed due to rule changes.
Evaluation of curbside recycling. Iowa City has added mixed paper to its residential curbside
collection program
~ Composting. The Iowa City landfill continues to explore and experiment with composting
technology.
r~ Twenty-five year landfill study. A study assessing remaining landfill capacity as well as costs
was completed in 1998.

Jones County Six-Year Implementation Plan & Schedule (2000-2006)
Members of the Jones County Solid Waste Management Commission met in September and October
of 1999 to discuss progress in the areas of waste and toxicity reduction as well as recycling during the
past three years and to establish goals for the next six years.
Progress made toward goals established in the fall of 1996 include the following.
Residential recycling education. Together with the Jones County Board of Supervisors, the
Jones County Solid Waste Management Commission sponsored the distribution of recycling
brochures to all households in Jones County through the county shopper.
Business and industry recycling. Solid waste commission/landfill personnel continued to make
referrals to the Iowa Waste Exchange.

Linn County Six Year Implementation Plan and Schedule (2000-2006)
Back.clround: In January of 1994, the City of Cedar Rapids and Linn County signed a joint powers
agreement creating the Bluestem Solid Waste Agency, a regional waste management agency
encompassing Linn County. The agreement extended to Bluestem all implied powers of the city and
county necessary to accomplish the creation and operation of an integrated solid waste management
system.
A report completed shortly after the formation of Bluestem indicated that both Bluestem landfills would
be filled sometime in 2002 or 2003. Because the process to site, permit, and construct a landfill
generally takes at least five years, developing new landfill space or another system to manage solid
waste became an early Bluestem priority.
Bluestem decided to analyze several waste management technologies instead of immediately starting
to site a new landfill. The purpose of the analysis was to insure that waste generated in Linn County
would be managed in a cost-effective and environmentally responsible manner. The analysis was also
intended to look at ways to reduce reliance on landfilling.
Analysis: Bluestem incorporated a public input and review process in its planning. A volunteer focus
group comprised of a diverse group of twenty (20) Linn County business people, educators, and other
interested citizens was formed to review the available technologies and select the integrated waste
management systems to be considered.
The final report for this planning process includes a 20-year life cycle cost analysis of four integrated
systems developed by the focus group. The report also includes a detailed description of the entire
planning process and a set of implementation recommendations, approved by the Bluestem Board of
Directors in June of 1996. The entire Integrated Sofid Waste Management Systems Analysis
(ISWMSA) report was submitted as an attachment to the ECICOG 1997 Subsequent Plan as well as
summaries of the report and the siting process.
Pro.clram iml31ementation. The ISWMSA and corresponding recommendations continue to provide
direction to Bluestem.
Appendix J contains detailed discussion concerning progress toward goals established during the last
plan update as well as implementation plans for 2000-2006.

Tama County Six Year Implementation Plan and Schedule (2000-2006)
The Tama County Solid Waste Management Commission held two comprehensive planning sessions
during their regular September and October 1999 meetings.
Progress toward goals established in 1996: During the September 1999 meeting, participants
reviewed goals established three years ago. Progress has been made toward the following goals.
Paper mill sludge. Sludge from a local paper mill, formerly landfilled, has been diverted to the
biofuels plant in Cedar Rapids.
[] Curbside recycling. In 1997, a task force in the City of Dysart studied pay-as-you-throw and
curbside recycling, recommending both to the city council. The Council did not adopt pay-as-
you-throw, but implemented a voluntary curbside recycling program. The Tama County Solid
Waste Management Commission funded the purchase of the city's recycling bins. Nearly half
of the households in Dysart have requested bins.
[] Recycling education. For the past two years the Commission has distributed a brochure
concerning use of the recycling drop-offs to all residents. They have also supported several
school programs including a recycling magician.
[] Participation in solid waste commission. Community and county representatives
consistently attend the commission's monthly meetings, providing a healthy forum for the
discussion of waste related issues.
n Household hazardous waste. Toxic cleanup days will be replaced by a permanent satellite
facility to which Tama County residents can bring their hazardous materials.
In summary, participants in the planning process favorably evaluated the past three years given
the number of goals achieved.
In the chart below, activities for the next six years are listed,

BENTON COUNTY SANITARY LANDFILL TO HOST TIRE AMNESTY DAYS
Vinton, IA - The Benton County Solid Waste Disposal Commission, in conjunction with the
Benton County Board of Supervisors, are sponsoring Tire Amnesty Days, Saturday, April 1
through Wednesday, April 5 during landfill hours, 8 AM to 11:30 PM Saturday and 8 AM to 4 PM
Monday - Friday.
During April 1 - 5, Benton County residents may drop off old passenger tires without rims
at the landfill free of charge. The usual waste tire disposal fee for tires is $1.50 - $17.00 depending
on size. The Benton County Landfill is located at 7904 20m Avenue, south of Blairstown.
The amnesty is open to residents only, not to tire dealers, distributors, manufacturers, or any
other person who collects, stores, processes or recycles waste tires for profit.
Tire Anmesty Days are funded in part with a grant from the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources and are intended to draw attention to the waste tire problem in Iowa. "Waste tires piled
out of doors can pose a significant health risk because of mosquitoes," says Benton County
Engineer Myron Parizek. "I urge residents to take advantage of this opportunity to properly dispose
of tires and reduce that risk."
Grant funds are also being used to promote proper tire maintenance among driver education
students and the general public. Prolonging the life of tires through proper maintenance reduces the
amount of waste generated each year. "Tires are a part of the solid waste stream that are generally
overlooked in terms of reduction and recycling," says Parizek. "An auto tire can last up to 80,000
miles, but the average American car owner gets only 35,000-40,000 miles because of improper
care and neglect."
For more information about proper waste tire disposal and maintenance, contact Parizek,
472-2211, or the East Central Iowa Council of Governments, 365-9941 ext.31.

The FY94 solid waste landfilled and stockpiled figure includes the following; 529 tons of recycled material from drop-off,
504 tons of shingles, 250 tons of metals, 200 tons of tires, 764 tons of waste pallets and C&D wood waste,
and 671.61 tons of recycled material from commercial/industrial sources.

The July 11, 1995 IDNR letter described the method in which the base years were calculated in
and Tama counties. The first full and representative fiscal year of scale measurements (8,460 tons solid waste) plus any
documented recycling and a 20% yard waste adjustment. The Benton County base year is FY94 and includes the following:
529 tons of recycled material from drop-off program
504 tons of shingles recycled in road surfacing projects
250 tons of metals recycled at landfill
200 tons of tires = 1 tire per person per year * 20 pounds per tire
764 tons of wood waste = extrapolation of 3 month stockpile of waste pallets and C&D waste
671 tons of recycled material from commercial and industrial sources
Current year tonnage does not include waste generated in Benton Co. but landfilled outside the planning area.

MEMORANDUM
Date: May 8, 2000
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Marian K. Karr, City Clerk ~
Re: Initiative Petition Process
On April 4 an Affidavit to Commence Initiative Proceedin.qs was filed in the City Clerk's office by
Jean McCollister and Betty McCollister. According to the City Charter petitions must contain a
required number of qualified electors (persons residing in Iowa City who are registered to vote)
which represents twenty-five percent of the number of persons who voted in the last regular
election but no fewer than 2,500. The number of signatures required for this petition is 2,500.
After a review of the language of the measure filed the City Attorney issued a memo on April 5th
indicating the question is not an allowable subject of an initiative. A meeting was held later that
same day with Jean McCollister, David Purdy, Dan Coleman, the City Attorney and City Clerk.
As a result of that meeting Jean McCollister changed the language of the measure and filed a
revised Affidavit to Commence Initiative Proceedings. The revised language was reviewed and
accepted by the City Attorney.
On Friday, April 21, Jean McCollister filed petitions containing 2,620 signatures. Each petition
must have attached an Affidavit of Circulator executed which states that the attached petition
was circulated by that person, each signature signed in their presence, and that each person
had the opportunity to read the full text of the proposed ordinance prior to signing the petition.
(A blank Affidavit of Circulator is attached.) After noting that some of the petitions did not have
the proposed ordinance attached, Ms. McCollister decided not to file until all submissions were
in proper form. At noon on April 21st, Ms. McCollister returned with the petitions, affidavits and
ordinances in order. A telephone request was made to the County Elections Office for a current
voter list. The City Clerk phoned the Elections Office at 8:00 AM on Monday and was told the
list was ready for pick-up. Upon arrival at the Elections Office the City Clerk discovered the
voter list was printed without a birthdate and was refused. The Elections Office notified the
Clerk that the revised list was ready for pick-up at 2:00 PM the same day. After picking up the
voter list at 2:20 PM, each affidavit was checked to verify that the circulator was a qualified
elector and then each petition name/signature checked against the current voter rolls which
contain approximately 44,500 names. Two affidavits were signed by individuals (Jean
McCollister and Elizabeth Hill) whose name appeared on the voter rolls but the address did not
match therefore we were unable to determine it was the same person without further
information. Ms. McCollister was contacted and she verified her affidavit using her birthdate,
and indicated she would try and obtain information from Ms. Hill. No information was received
from Ms. McCollister or Ms. Hill and Ms. Hill's submission of 15 signatures was not counted. A
total of 70 hours of staff review resulted in a total of 1,748 names verified as qualified electors.
(Short 752 of the required 2,500)
A Certificate of Insufficiency was sent registered mail on April 26.
Ms. McCollister filed a Notice to Amend on April 28.
On May 1 Ms. McCollister filed supplemental petitions containing 2,020 additional signatures. A
new updated voter registration roll was ordered (individuals who had registered between the
printing of the first voter registration list and the submission of supplemental petitions). Again
each Affidavit of Circulator was checked to verify that the Circulator was a qualified elector,
checked against the first voter registration list for duplicates, and then checked against the
updated voter roll containing over 200 recently registered voters. An additional 33 hours of staff
review verified 1,066 signatures bringing the total to 2,814. Not all submitted petitions were
processed because the necessary total of 2,814 exceeded the required 2,500.
I issued a Certificate of Sufficiency on May 2, 2000.

RE: Library Referendum
After receiving information from the City Manager and the City Finance Director
the Library Board discussed options for the 20,000 square feet of space in the
building project that will be available for private use. They have asked me to
pass on their recommendation that the space be leased rather than sold.
Leasing appears to be the better choice for several reasons. Most importantly, it
would remain a possible future expansion space for the Library or other City
purposes. If the space is sold and needed for public purposes in the future it
would be expensive to buy it back. The possibility of future expansion is an issue
with Iowa City voters and the Board believes that leasing the space, combined
with the option to add a third floor over the new part of the building, address this
issue.
Secondly, it will make the bonding for the project less complicated. It is our
understanding that if the space is built to be sold, it would require a different type
of bond, and one with less attractive tax advantages.
The Board hopes to have official action in May setting the language and date for
a November referendum. If you have any questions please let me know.

MEMORANDUM
Date: 3 April, 2000
To: Stephen Atkins, City Manager
From: Kevin O'Malley, Director of Finance-~/..c~
Re: Library Expansion Referendum
A few weeks ago Bond Counsel Ken Haynie and I discussed the question of what dollar
authorization amount would be stated on the referendum ballot. I provided him a copy of
the architect's concept plan and informed him that the construction and furnishings
estimate total was $18.4 million. I stated that the Library Board believed that $1.5 million
could be raised from donations and that the sale of commercial space could raise an
additional $1.3 million.
Ken expressed his hesitation to lowering the dollar authorization due to the contingent
nature of both the donations and potential sales revenue of the commercial space. He
stated that any cash donations the City should receive before the referendum ballot is
printed can be used to lower the dollar authorization. He also mentioned that the Library
Foundation could offer monetary pledges to a financial institution for discounting, again
only up to the time of ballot printing.
Ken questioned me as to how the commercial space was to be managed. I explained
that the City's present intention is to purchase the current commercial space and build
the addition to the Library. At that time Library operations would move in the new space
while the old space was being remodeled. Ken further questioned the future
use/management of the commercial space, including the possibility of short term leasing.
His concerns were focused on the complexity of the property acquisition process, the
expense of issuing taxable debt for this small portion of the project, and uncertainties in
the demand for additional commercial property.
Ken recommended that the wording of ballot question allow for the total construction
cost of $18.4 million less any cash accumulated before the ballot printing.

EXHIBIT "A"
DECLARATION OF CONDOMINIUM
TOWER PLACE AND PARKING
PREFACE: The Declarant, the City of Iowa City, has deemed it in the public interest to construct a
public parking facility at the corner of Iowa Avenue and Linn Street in Iowa City, Iowa, which public
parking structure is to include a private parking area appurtenant to a public housing facility, as well
as certain privately owned commercial units in a horizontal property regime. As a result of this
unusual combination of various ownerships, certain departures from condominium practice are
implied. Among those departures is the fact that the basic structure is not a common element as
defined by the Horizontal Property Act, but is part of the unit retained by the Declarant. The
common elements subject to common ownership and a portion of expenses are deliberately few in
number. The association of owners, denominated by the declaration as the Council of Co-owners,
has a limited role and is formed as an uninc6rporated association, meeting only on an ad hoc basis to
perform the limited functions necessary.
The Declarant, therefore, states that the land described in Article I, Paragraph A of this declaration is
hereby submitted to a horizontal property regime as defined by Chapter 499B, Code of Iowa (1999)
named Tower Place and Parking, to be subject to the covenants, conditions, uses, limitations and
obligations as specified in this declaration.

B. Description of Building. The building subject to the regime shall be a 6-level parking facility
including spaces for commeri:ial units on the west end, as well as commercial spaces at the
northeast corner of the building along Iowa Avenue, and along Gilbert Street. The
commercial units on the street level along Linn Street shall be constructed so as to allow the
later construction of a mezzanine. The configuration of the building and the composite
building materials are all shown of record on the building plans attached hereto as Exhibit A.

I. Provisions Applicable to all Units (Except Unit 3)
1. Defining Surfaces of Units (Except Unit 3). 'The unit definitions above describe the
boundaries of the various units (except Unit 3) to be the "inside surfaces" of the
walls forming the units. Each of these walls is a poured concrete wall, such that the
unit boundary is to be the surface of the wall closest to the unit being defined.
Similarly, the floors and ceilings are formed by poured concrete surfaces, such that
the horizo'ntal unit boundaries are the concrete surfaces of the floor and ceiling close
to the unit being defined.' The implication of these definitions is that Unit :3 contains
all concrete walls, floors and ceilings, but the individual units include all studs,
drywall, subflooring, drop ceilings or other structural elements affixed to the concrete
surfaces.
2. Variations in Floor and Ceiling Elevation Due to Construction Irregularities. The inside
surface of any floor or ceiling for which an elevation is given above as a defining
plane of any unit varies, due to construction irregularities, from the planned
elevation, the unit shall be defined by the surface as actually constructed.
3. Projection of Structural Elements Below Top Elevation of a Unit. There shall be
excepted from each unit (exCept Unit 3) any portion of a structural element
contributing to the rigidity of the building which projects below the elevation stated
above as the top surface of the unit.
4. Subdivision of Units. Units 1 A, 1 B, 1 C, 1 D, 1F and 2A may be subdivided into
smaller units, susceptible of separate ownership, subject to the following limitations:
a. No division shall affect the exterior integrity of the structure without the
express permission of the owner of Unit 3, as expressed by the City Manager
or his designee.
b. No resulting unit shall be smaller than the original size of Unit 1-E. (Unit 1-E
is therefore not subject to subdivision).
c. All procedures for subdivision specified below are followed.
8
5. Procedures to Subdivide. In order to make a unit susceptible of subdivision eligible
for separate ownership, the owner of the unit to be subdivided shall file with the
Johnson County Recorder a document entitled "Amendment of Declaration of
Condominium for Subdivision Purposes", which document shall contain the following
provisions:
a. A description of the newly created subunits, as illustrated by a graphic
representation filed with the amendment.
b. A unique designation for each subunit, using as a basis the original unit
designation.
Example: If Unit 1A is to be divided into two subunits, the filed
documents should designate the subunits as Unit 1-A-
1 and Unit 1-A-2.
c. An allocation of easements to which the'original unit is subject and which
are appurtenant to the original unit among the respective subunits.
d. An allocation among the proposed subunits of the percentages of
responsibility for common expenses and of voting power originally assigned
by this Declaration to the unit to be subdivided, based on relative areas of the
property subunit.
e. Special Restrictions on the Subdivision of Unit 1 F. In addition to the
requirement of subparagraphs a, b, c, and d, no subdivision of Unit 1F shall
involve relocation of the entrance to the parking area from Gilbert Street or
involve the use of any subunit for short-term parking.
6. Cross-Easements. Each unit is entitled to an easement over all other units for the
placement, operation, maintenance and replacement of utility services, such as gas,
electric, water and sewer, telephone, cable television and any other service utility, as
shown on the plans filed with this Declaration.
7. References to the City, Throughout this declaration, references are made to "The
Declarant", "The City", and "The Owner of Unit 3." All of these terms are
interchangeable and refer to the City of Iowa City, Iowa.

article of the declaration which shall stand as the by-laws of the organization. The
organization shall be unincorporated. For the purpose of determining membership in the
Council of Co-Owners, the owner of the fee title of a unit shall be the member with respect
to that unit, except in the event of a unit having been sold by recorded installment contract,
in which case the contract vendee shall be the member. In the event of multiple fee
titleholders or multiple contract vendees of a unit, the membership rights for that unit,
including voting, shall not be divided, but shall be exercised in a block as the multiple co-
owners may determine among themselves.
B. Meetings of the Council of Co-Owners. The Council of Co-Owners shall have no regular
meetings, but shall convene on written notice to all owners by any owner, which notice shall
be delivered by ordinary mail at least 10 days prior to the proposed meeting. The subject
matter for the meetings shall be limited to any issue concerning the common elements, the
charges arising therefrom, or the termination of the condominium regime.
C. Voting Rights at the Meetings. At any meeting of the Council of Co-Owners, quorum for
which will be the presence of owners owning at least 50% of the voting power as described

for the same to the respective owners.
F. Payment of Shared Common Expenses. Within 30 days of the receipt of the' statement from
the Declarant of shared common expenses, individual unit owners shall remit to the
Declarant their respective shares of common expenses.
G. Lien for Assessments. Unpaid assessments shall become a lien on the unit assessed and be
subject to the collection remedies as described in Section 499B. 17 of the Code of Iowa

unit are affected, the individual unit owner shall be responsible for the expense of
reconstruction and repair.

ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENTS TO DECLARATION
This declaration may be amended by an affirmative vote of 75% of the total voting power of the
regime as described by Article IVC2 at a special meeting of the Council of Co-Owners, provided that
no amendment is effective to reduce a percentage ownership of any unit owner, to reduce easement
rights appurtenant to any unit, or to increase any owner's obligations, unless that unit owner and its

terminates November 1 and HAS USED forty (40) holiday hours. Only two (2)

from the last week's wages.

during the pay period in which the holiday occurs. If an officer works more or less than a full watch
on a holiday, the premium pay will be prorated to the nearest whole hour based on time worked.

health insurance coverage. provisions take effect from April 1, 1984, until
modified by mutual agreement of the parties:
a. Mandatory Outpatient Surgery
Procedures designated by the Iowa Foundation and suitable to be perfo~ on
an outpatient basis must be perfoxed on an outpatient basis to be fully
covered by the health insurance. Extenuating circumstances which would make

Cross/Blue Shield, will be paid only at a rate of 50% of charges.

the mother for childbirth is two days or less, as certified by the hospital

a check for $100 (minus necessary withholding).
c. Overcharge Incentive
Employees will receive 25% of the correction of an overcharge or overpayment
when the overcharge/overpayment is initiated and successfully resolved by the
employee. (Withholding must be made on all payments to employees.) Maximum
payment to employees is $500 (pre-withholding). Documentation of the em-
ployee-initiated corrections should be submitted to the Human Relations
Department when the correction is accomplished. Gross overcharges resulting
from computer error or similar problems will not be eligible for payment
(e.g. received $100 worth of services, billed for $100,000).
d. Outpatient Treatment of 'Substance Abuse

treatment of substance abuse. Employees wishing to utilize insurance
coverage for purposes of substance abuse treatment must sumit to evaluation

Section I and Section 2 of that agreement.
It is understood and agreed that benefit coverages are based on usual,

IOWA 500 HEALTH CARE COVERAGE
IOWA 500 coverage cosines basic Blue Cross hospital, Blue Shield
physician and Major Medical coverages into a single program using
deductibles and copa:)nnents. And after the deductible and copayment
have been satisfied, the dollar coverage and number of hospital days
are unlimited except for Nervous and Mental admissions.
In short, the Subscriber shares in the costs of the medically necessary
hospital, medical and surgical services provided. However, the
Subscriber's share never exceeds $500 per contract per year for covered
services, regardless of the number of family members.
IOWA 500 plan benefits encourage medical self-maintenance practices
by paying for 90% of the covered Usual, Customary and Reasonable charges
for:
* One routine annual physical examination in a
doctor's office or clinic
* Home and office calls needed to diagnose or
treat a medical condition
* Inmmnizations required by a Subscriber or any
person in a Subscriber's family
The idea behind IOWA 500 coverage? To encourage continuing medical
self-maintenance and help reduce the length and number of unnecessary
hospital stays. These efforts, of course, can help keep health care
costs--and rates--in line.
THE IOWA 500 Plan Covers These Extensive Services:
