Dubuque Street Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Sally, The City Council discussed the Sioux Avenue dust control measures which were proposed at the recent joint meeting of the City Councils, County Board, etc. They have indicated they are,= not interested in participating in financing dust control on Sioux Avenue. I believe they declined participation due to the fact the County's own policies which regulate such calcium chloride,= applications would be in conflict. Additionally, these roads are the responsibility of the County and the maintenance rests with the County, just as roads in the city limits are the responsibilit,y of the City. Sincerely, Stephen City Manager cc: City Council mgr/Itrs/dustcontrol.doc 410 EAST WASHINGTON STREET · IOWA CITY, IOWA 52240-1826 · (319) 356-5000 · FAX (319) 356-5009 October 3, 2000 Sally Stutsman, Chair Johnson County Board of Supervisors Johnson County Administration Building 913 S. Dubuque Street Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Sally, At their regularly scheduled work session of October 2, the City Council discussed the Nutrition Advisory Board request for reserved parking in the new Tower Place and Parking garage. Attached is a copy of a memorandum I directed to their attention. I was asked to prepare a summary of the issues as well as offer commentary. The memorandum, I believe, speaks for itself. The financing for the Tower Place and Parking garage simply will not permit us to provide that type of expense (lost revenue). A possible "park and shop" type of idea for senior diners has been suggested. I believe the Council left the door open for any other ideas. If there is any additional information or you wish for me to elaborate further on the memorandum and/or the City Council's discussion, please let me know. Sincerely, City Manager cc: City Council Joe Fowler Linda Kopping Kevin O'Malley Enclosure mgr/Itrs/nabparking.doc 410 EAST WASHINGTON STREET · IOWA CITY, ]OWA 52240-1826 · (319) 356-5000 · FAX (319) 356-5009 City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: City Manager DATE: September 26, 2000 RE: Johnson County Nutrition Advisory Board - Parking Space Request The City Council has received a request from the Johnson County Nutrition Advisory Board to reserve 100 parking spaces in Tower Place Parking for use by the Johnson County Senior Dining Program, and also to reserve 75 spaces on Saturday and Sunday. The Tower Place Parking Facility will contain 567 parking spaces. The Tower Place is constructed on land which was previously a surface parking lot for the Senior Center and Ecumenical Towers. 'Ecumenical will be a part owner in the Tower Place Parking by owning 44 of the spaces in the parking facility. The Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center had 34 spaces in the original lot north of the center and ten additional reserved parking spaces in the Chauncey Swan parking garage. It has not been determined as to the location or the amount of parking the Senior Center will request; however, it is expected it will be no less than that which they previously had. Senior Center Commission and staff will be discussing this issue in the near future. The Iowa Avenue Streetscape Project will permanently remove a total of 130 parking spaces from Iowa Avenue. Tower Place has been designated as a replacement for these lost spaces as well as introducing additional parking into downtown. Downtown businesses and merchants have expressed interest and support for the additional parking Tower Place represents. As you may recall, the City Council engaged in lengthy policy discussion which led to the choice of the Tower Place location as opposed to a south side facility. Plans to connect the Iowa Avenue area to North Marketplace area will also likely increase the demand for parking. Tower Place contains 27,000 square feet of commercial space and these businesses will generate demand for parking. University of Iowa students as well as downtown shoppers have long used Iowa Avenue for surface, metered parking for shopping as well as attending classes on the main campus. The University has chosen not to develop any additional student parking in this immediate area and therefore we believe the demand for parking by students should be high. September 26, 2000 Page 2 Johnson County Nutrition Advisory Board Parking Space Request The request by the Johnson County Nutrition Advisory Board to reserve 100 spaces for Johnson County Senior Dining represents approximately 20% of the capacity of Tower Place for this one user group. They wish to have the spaces reserved from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. While this request for parking does not extend over the entire operating day, it would require reserving space during the highest anticipated usage hours in Tower Place, from 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The cost associated with reserving the spaces requested by the Johnson County Nutrition Advisory Board is approximately ~1 20,000 per year in lost revenue. The Parking Fund cannot absorb this level of lost revenue and fulfill its obligations to finance the borrowing for Tower Place. Nor do we believe the Senior Center can divert an additional ~ 114,000 in funds from their operating budget (currently have $6000 budgeted for parking) to cover this lost revenue. The General Fund, with planned expansion of selected services, cannot be called upon for an expense of this magnitude. This places the request and the financing for Senior Dining parking with the Johnson County Nutrition Advisory Board. If the City Council were to agree to this request and Johnson County Senior Dining would agree to pay the Parking Fund $120,000 per year, the program could be implemented. We would note this alternative still commits an extraordinarily large number of spaces, during the busiest time of the day, to one user group. As we looked at other alternatives the Senior Dining program could validate their participant's parking tickets similar to the Park 'n Shop program. The City could tabulate the tickets separately and invoice Johnson County Senior Dining on a monthly basis for the parking that is actually utilized. While this system does not provide reserve space, it would provide parking to participants and at a level that demonstrates actual usage. We understand that Senior Dining serves approximately 112 meals per day at the Senior Center. We would note and we would believe that not all senior diners drive to the meal site: diners come from Ecumenical Towers, nearby apartments and other senior housing units. Transportation is provided to these individuals to and from the center. In addition it would be anticipated that individuals would share rides with spouses and/or friends. While the Senior Dining participants are an important part of the mix of users at the Senior Center, combined demands of the various user groups in Tower Place is a key to its overall financial success. Our financial projections were based upon an 85 percent occupancy during the day. If it is discovered to be higher then other considerations san be made. If it is discovered to be lower we will need to analyze our parking rates. If an operating policy is established which commits large blocks of parking for the busiest times, notably during the 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., we cannot fulfill anticipated financial needs. cc: Linda Kopping ~ Joe Fowler Kevin O'Malley mgr/mem/nutrimbd ~ City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: City Manager DATE: October 2, 2000 RE: Downtown Alleys Maintenance of Downtown alleys this summer has been especially troublesome. We have seen an increase in complaints regarding garbage, grease and foul odors in the alleys. The City spends approximately $10,000 annually to steam clean the alleys in an attempt to keep them clean and free of grease and odor. Although we plan to continue with the steam cleaning program, it has not resulted in an acceptable level of cleanliness. Grease and litter continue to be deposited in the alleys. The Public Works staff sweeps the alleys every Thursday night. However, the City's sweeping is not sufficient to clean around dumpsters, downspouts, electrical conduits, curbs, etc. City personnel have witnessed the temporary storage of old refrigerators, large cardboard cartons, used shelving, etc. in the alleys. This is not acceptable. Only items which fit inside the dumpsters are allowed in the alleys. If businesses are remodeling or adding new furniture or shelving, it is their responsibility to have the construction waste material immediately removed and not improperly discarded in alleys. Downtown alleys also have many storm water inlets for drainage. It is contrary to City r ordinance and State law to deposit or allow to be deposited any pollutant into the storm sewers. It will soon be against Federal law, i.e., the Clean Water Act. Federal law not only mandates compliance with the Clean Water Act, but local communities must show proof of compliance. According to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the State agency responsible for enforcement of the Clean Water Act, transportation facilities cannot have anything exposed which might pollute storm water runoff. Downtown alleys are part of the City's transportation facility. It is essential that Downtown businesses take a more active role in keeping the alleys clean, and we plan to begin communicating our concern to these businesses. The trash and litter is a product of irresponsible housekeeping, and unfortunately the City government is called upon to correct this behavior. Businesses that store waste material in Downtown alleys must confine ALL waste material in watertight dumpsters. We plan a more rigorous enforcement of our ordinances. Hopefully, with a pledge of cooperation by Downtown businesses, we can clean up the appearance of our alleys and avoid future fines or penalties for noncompliance with State and Federal clean water mandates. cc: Dale Helling Chuck Schmadeke ///j~~~2~.j,~ Doug Boothroy · . mgr\memo\alleys.doc IP5 MEMORANDUM TO: Steve Arkins, City Manager FROM: R.J.

On this day state legislators and legislative candidates are invited to meet informally with city officials in Iowa's senate districts to discuss issues of importance to city government.

Among the issues sure to be discussed are tax increment financing and property tax reform. Other issues of local importance will also be brought to the table. Begun in 1997 as a new tradition of advocacy, City Hall Day provides a forum for cities and lawmakers to come together to share ideas and city perspective. The annual event has gone far to foster cooperation and understanding between state and local officials on issues that impact cities.

C--Vtg#y,- C r,A f~g-05-00 IP12 UPDATE IOWA'S BOTTLE BILL RESPONSIBILITY AND PRIDE IN OUR BEAUTIFUL LAND! Bottle Bill Support Card Help protect Iowa's Bottle Bill by telling grocers that you, their customer, supports an updated Bottle Bill! Here's what you can do: Each time you go to a grocery store or a convenience store, please drop off a Bottle Bill Support Card. Giving the card directly to the store manager is preferred. However, if you are not comfortable with that or cannot find the manager, please give the card to the cashier when you pay for your groceries and say, "Please share this card with your manager. Thank you for supporting the Bottle Bill." Another good time to deliver the card is when you are redeeming your cans and bottles. Write a letter to your state senator and representative and to the Governor expressing support for saving and updating the Bottle Bill and include a card. You can even cross out "I shop here" and write in "I vote." If you are making a pledge to a campaign, include a card with your contribution. ~ Please make an effort to distribute your cards by December 31, 2000. ~- SUPPORT AND UPDATE ~ t port the Bottle Bill!. · ' Z I Shop Herd s UPDATE IOWA'S BOTTLE B LL RESPONSIBILITY AND PRIDE IN OUR BEAUTIFUL LAND/ UPDATE NOT REPEAL The Beautiful Land Coalition, a diverse group of environmental and community organizations made up of more than 10,000 Iowans, proposes the following: Create the Robert D. R.ay Beautiful Land Fund to support local and state litter and recycling initiatives. TZhis could be funded through the moneys resulting from unredeemed deposits. The 10 percent of containers in Iowa not redeemed result in an estimated $6-7 million annual windfall to distributors. This money represents an investment in Iowa;s environment by you and should be reclaimed on behalf of the citizens of Iowa to support local litter and recycling efforts including an emphasis on Adopt-A-Place programs (roadways, trails, parks, waterways, and other resources). With ever tightening state budgets, this fund would require no tax dollars, expand popular environmental programs, and recognize and support creative local efforts. Expand the Container Redemption Law to include bottles and cans used for tea, water, fruit and vegetable juices and drinks, sports drinks, and other noncarbonated beverages excluding milk. In 1978, many of these estimated 200 million beverage containers did not exist, but are now a source of litter. Expansion will eliminate confusion and further reduce litter. Most importantly, however, 73 percent of Iowans support such an expansion. Increase the handling fee per container from 1 to 2 cents. The handling fee paid to grocery stores and redemption centers has not changed in 20 years. This increase will support the essential role they play in the Bottle Bill's success.. Require all beverage containers sold in Iowa to have a minimum post-consumer recycled content of 25% by weight. Closing the loop by having consistent markets is essential to successful recycling programs. What better way to update the Bottle Bill than to require bottles and cans to be made from recycled material. BENEFITS Litter Control The Beverage Container Deposit Law provides a financial incentive through the refundable deposit that has all but eliminated can and bottle liner in Iowa. One year after the 'law went into effect, the Iowa Department of Transportation reported a 79 percent drop in bottle and can litter, and overall roadside litter was reduced by 38 percent. Self-Funding The Beverage Container Deposit Law funds itself through the nickel deposit and refund. The bottle bill relies on no taxes or unfunded mandates to local governments. Increased Recycling Through the Beverage Container Deposit Law, Iowans recycle more than 90 percent of containers compared to only 30 percent in states without bottle bills. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, 55 percent of all beer and soda containers recovered in the United States are from the ten deposit states. The remaining 45 percent came from the 40 non-deposit states. States with deposits also have a higher participation rate in residential recycling than non-deposit states. The bottle bill supports, not competes with, Iowa's recycling efforts. Popular An independent survey by the University of Northern Iowa shows that 85 percent of Iowans support the bottle bill, and 73 percent support expanding the law. Jobs and Wages The bottle bill has resulted in more than 140 redemption centers in Iowa providing jobs .and wages in the private sector. In addition, the bottle bill has created jobs and self-sufficiency at sheltered workshops that employ people with disabilities. Participation Thousands of Iowa school children and hundreds of groups have used the bottle bill as a fundraising tool to get involved in their communities. Pride in Iowa "The Bottle Bill has changed not just the way we act, 4~tt ~ way we think. It creates more positive attitudes about taking care of our beautiful !and," Governor Robert Ray.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM JULY 31, 2000, MEETING Approval of minutes from July 31st deferred until the next meeting. PRESENTATION BY KARIN FRANKLIN--DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Franklin began by stating that her understanding of the committee's request is that they wished to identify areas within the corporate limits that are rural in character. She shared a map with the committee. She highlighted an area that is identified as a growth area for the next twenty to thirty years. There is no agricultural zoning within the corporate limits.. City policy focuses their efforts within the corporate limits and the growth area. Franklin shared areas that have development plans and growth areas. Mollenhauer noted that the public has made numerous comments about the relationship between development and deer issues. She asked if Franklin foresaw any halt to development in Iowa City for any reason. Franklin said that for the last twenty years that issue has been debated. She went on to say that the current City policy is that the city is continuing to grow at a moderate rate. As the community grows, there are issues that must be considered. Conflicts exist when growth appears. If people would like to see the City go in another direction, they need to become involved in the planning and zoning process. When the Planning Department designed the comprehensive plan in 1997, it was done from a grass roots perspective. Plans are being formulated for all ten districts. The Department conducts two citizen work sessions; each year that have included 40-60 residents each. REVIEW DRAFT OF 2000-2001 MANAGEMENT PLAN Mollenhauer reviewed the timeline to complete this portion of the process. Mollenhauer commented on the meat distribution. She said that income was not a criteria issue in the distribution. The meat was distributed free of charge. Mollenhauer noted that she did have a brief discussion with the City Manager regarding some of the rural areas on the fringe of the city. There are not many areas that would qualify in this category. The Manager had some initial concerns with allowing anyone other than professionals to discharge weapons within the city. Mollenhauer noted the Braverman farm as an example Deer Management Committee Meeting Minutes August 23, 2000 Page 2 that is very close to manufactured housing. She said that in a case like this the sharpshooters could be the recommended means of deer reduction in these areas. The City Manager was more comfortable with this option. Goff brought up the bow hunting section. He suggested some re-wording for the committee's consideration. He suggested stating that some members view this option as being inhumane. He also suggested the sentence: "In addition, the committee does not regard Iowa City's immediate management as a recreational activity .... "He said he felt this meshed with the idea of utilizing sport hunting as an option in the future for the fringe areas. Hendrix agreed with this idea. This would take away some of the negativity that was implied in the past couple of years. Ashman said her thoughts have not changed. She does not believe that bow hunting provides ,a humane death. Hendrix countered that the change may represent a balance to where people stand with this concept. Goff said that he is of the mindset that killing large numbers of deer should not be a recreational activity, but in the longer term it may be an excellent management option with controls in place. Farrant commented that she is opposed inflexibly to it as any form of management. She said she was not prepared to make a change of this nature at this point. The wording of this item was changed to "because some members view it as inhumane." Rhodes explained that there was a very hard fought compromise by committee members a couple of years ago. The compromise was that whether individual members believed that bow hunting was humane or inhumane did not matter. They agreed the community as a whole would perceive it as inhumane. In an attempt to reflect that attitudes of the community the committee agreed that it was inhumane. The definition of the word humane guided the committee to this point. Ashman commented that she thought it would be important to discuss the philosophy of the word "humane" since committee members have changed. Rhodes said that it is difficult to explain to the members who were not part of the current committee the philosophy behind the debate. The committee has wanted the community to understand that the program is designed for urban deer management and it is not a recreational activity. Mollenhauer noted the last item under the question and answer section. She suggested moving it forward. The community acceptance topic could include the humane issue. Farrant inquired if the tenor of the community has changed over the past year. There have been strong comments, but she said she was not sure if there was a substantial shift to either side. Rhodes then said many people in the community come from urban environments. In her opinion most of those people would chose sharp shooting over bow hunting because it is quick and painless. She agreed with Farrant that she would believe that the community would not look at it any differently. She would like to see the community listening sessions continue. Menning inquired about sharpshooting in the Hickory Hill area. Last year it did not take place. Rhodes said that deer are impacting this area. The deer per square mile total 70 within the park. Fort noted that the deer can be drawn out of the area, but it would be better to go within the park area to shoot them. Rhodes commented that they impact the ecological balance of the park. Ashman said there would be people who say they go to Hickory Hill Park to see deer. Mmembers agreed that education is important for this area. Rhodes addressed the item relating to deer being killed to allow development on the peninsula. She suggested adding a statement to explain why the development would be beneficial as opposed to not being beneficial. When the City takes on a venture to create the type of Deer Management Committee Meeting Minutes August 23, 2000 Page 3 community planned for the peninsula, they encourage the type of population density that is very different from urban sprawl. Perhaps more will be encouraged to build homes closer, and this will allow for more open areas in the east and northeast areas of the city. The committee agreed to add the explanation of the peninsula development to the plan for their review. The committee talked about setting the number of deer to be killed this year and decided 500 will likely reduce the population. The committee agreed to use the wording "no more than 500 deer." PRESENTATION BY URBAN WILDLIFE SPECIALISTS Scott Ellerson made a presentation at this meeting. Last year this program had five projects in the state of Wisconsin. They also felt they could save some money for the city due to the proximity of their location. He felt their firm would be prepared to meet the demands of this community. Ellerson stated that he had not been in court related to deer issues. Ellerson also complimented the committee on the structure of the meeting. OTHER Mollenhauer noted that she had spoken with AI Farris. He said the DNR did not feel comfortable with the tranquilizing issue. PUBLIC COMMENT William Boos spoke stating that there are many points indicating people could not be on the committee if they did not see a pressing need to reduce large numbers of deer. He said he did think that the committee would have to face different responses when the issue comes to vote. The Hickory Hill area will become a political issue that he will continue to pursue. He said that if the issue was brought to a vote by the people the killing of deer would not pass. Leslie Hall noted she was distressed about the idea of bow hunting. There would be very few people in the community who would understand the concept. She did not think it would ever be appropriate for this community and she did not find it to be a humane form of killing. ADJOURNMENT Ashman moved to adjourn the meeting with a second by Hendrix. The meeting adjourned at 9:10 P.M. Minutes submitted by Le Ann Dunne-Tyson. mgrlminldeerS-23-OO, doc
