Box 2658 Iowa City, IA 52244-2658 Re: Near Southside Transportation Center Project Dear Sir or Madam: City staff intends to present the proposed conceptual design of the Near Southside Transportation Center Project to the City Council at its work session on October 16, 2000. The purpose of this letter is to advise you of staffs recommendations in advance of that meeting. As many of you know, the Transportation Center, as originally envisioned, was to be built on the entire half-block bordered by Burlington, Clinton, Court Street and the alley, and included a commercial component. During the conceptual design phase, the commercial component was planned to face Burlington Street and be approximately 60 feet in depth. Initial cost projections for the entire project, however, are approximately 4 million dollars over budget. As a result, I will be recommending that the project be scaled back to eliminate the commercial component and bring the project within budget. An additional consideration in staffs thinking is the impediment presented by the Fotsch lawsuit seeking an injunction to prevent the taking of his property for this project. While that lawsuit has not progressed beyond the early stages and there has been no court decision adverse to the City, staffs recommendation will eliminate this impediment. Of course, removal of the commercial component will also eliminate the possibility of relocation of existing tenants and owners into the new facility. Timing for the project has also changed. As the City's property acquisition consultant informed you earlier this year, the FTA will not allow the City to take any steps toward property acquisition or payment of relocation benefits until the FTA approves the conceptual design and issues its environmental clearance. We had originally hoped to obtain FTA approval and environmental clearance by November. It appears now, however, that such clearance will not come until mid- February of 2001. Thus, we will be further delayed in making offers to acquire property and in providing relocation benefits. Demolition is still scheduled for January of 2002. Finally, Rita Rasmussen, Project Manager for our property acquisition consultant, Stanley Consultants, has left that firm. The new project manager is Carol King. Her address is Stanley Consultants, Inc., 100 Court Avenue, Suite 300, Des Moines, Iowa 50309. She can be reached 410 EAST WASHINGTON STREET · IOWA CITY, IOWA 52240-1826 · (319) 356-5000 · FAX (319) 356-5009 Property Owners October 11, 2000 Page 2 by phone at 1-800-553-9694 or 515-246-8585.

Washington, #4, Iowa City, Iowa 52240 (319)338~8865 To: City Council From: Steven Kanner For Public Release: 10/12/00 at 3:00 p.m. Re: City Council and the Collective Bargaining Process At our next Work Session (October 16) we will discuss current City Council policy in regards to the Collective Bargaining Process. I am proposing that we divide the discussion into three parts: 1) What is the current Council policy in regards to the Iowa City Bargaining Process with our public employees; 2) What are other cities doing for their collective braining process; 3) Are there possible improvements in our collective bargaining process that would benefit the City of Iowa City. Here are my perspectives on the above three items: 1) Collective Bargaining (Public Employment Relations) is subject to Chapter 20 in the State Code. Except for the first two sessions, bargaining sessions are not subject to State Open Meeting Laws. Both sides are allowed to have anyone they wish be on the negotiating teams. The negotiating strategy of the Public Employer (City of Iowa City) may be discussed in closed Executive Sessions. Council must approve the final contract, which needs to be done by March 15. There is a timeline and procedure if both sides have reached an "impasse" during negotiations. (The procedure goes tiom "mediation," to "fact-finding," to "arbitration.") (1) It is my understanding that the City of Iowa City has a tradition of City Council not being involved in the negotiations in any manner except for the final vote done at a formal open meeting. 2) Here is my understanding of what three other cities in Iowa do as far as Council involvement in the Collective Bargaining Process is concemed: (1) Ames: Before negotiations begin, the Human Resources Director give City Council his analysis of the strategy, as presented by the City Manager in Executive Session. The City Council then has discussion on the proposed strategy. (2) Cedar Falls: There are short briefings given to City Council, in Executive Session, at most Council meetings during negotiations. (3) Council Bluffs: There are a few Executive Sessions that are held during negotiations. 3) I would propose that our City Council enact the following processes in regards to our involvement in Collective Bargaining Negotiations: (1) That the City Management Negotiating Team will meet with City Council in Executive Session at least three times during the negotiation process - once before official negotiations begin (to discuss our strategy); once during the approximate middle of the negotiation sessions (to discuss how the sessions are going); and once just before the final agreements are reached. (2) That the two open sessions, where both sides present their "initial bargaining positions," be done at a City Council meeting. (3) That Council elect one of its members to join the current Management Negotiating Team. -1- My proposals all lead to greater City Council involvement in the Collective Bargaining Negotiating Process. My proposals look to supplement, not substitute, the professional expertise that we currently receive from our management tearn~ The above proposals do not seek to micro- manage City of Iowa City business but to add a larger perspective. While we as City Council members, along with the City Manager, are aH concerned with the financial well being of our City, as Councilmembers we must look at the broader citizens' perspective. That is what we were elected to do. The above proposals, that bring our roles as legislators/elected officials to the Collective Bargaining Negotiatin4g Process, will be an additional positive force for all of the citizens and employees of Iowa City. Increased participation by Council is a good thing. The City Manager, Assistant City Manager and their team - by definition and by City Charter - fulfill the role as boss and manager. Whereas the City Council - also by definition - represents a broader perspective. The City Management Team, in Collective Bargaining Negotiations, will oftentimes have to be more confrontational in their approach. And that is probably a good thing. In addition to the positives that we get from our current Collective Bargaining Negotiating Process let's add a bit more of the Council perspective to the negotiations. There are times when the Council, during negotiations, might have to say no - let's try something else. More often then not, Council will have to say yes - let's stay the course and reconfn'm what the City Management team has already plotted. My goals in making the above proposals are to examine our current track record insofar as the Collective Bargaining Negotiating Process is concerned and see if we can improve upon it to the benefit of all of the citizens and employees of Iowa City. cc: City Manager City Clerk City Attorney -2- City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: City Manager DATE: October 12, 2000 RE: Work Assignments - Council Requests Over the past few months, members of the City Council have visited with Civic Center employees requesting information, research and, in general, assigning work to these individuals. Most often these employees are in a subordinate role within a department and their work is generally supervised by the department director. We also have experienced Council Members making the same request of more than one employee. The response to the work assignment is being duplicated. By way of this memorandum to you, I want to layout the problem this creates. City Council Members asking for a specific document or piece of information on routine items is certainly understandable. We are glad to provide such information to the fullest extent possible. This is not unlike what we provide for our citizens who ask for routine information such as a copy of this report, a copy of that memo, etc., information that can be quickly located. When it involves research that generates new information, the citizen request is directed to the supervisor in order to determine the extent and thereby the cost in employee time of this work assignment. A Council Member requesting a work assignment that involves research has the effect of directing the work activity of that employee. If the supervisor is to be held accountable for the work of the employee, they need to know specifically the work activity that is being undertaken by that employee. When the employee, in an effort to satisfy the Council request, takes on a work assignment, it can take away from their routine duties as assigned by their supervisor. In order for us to come to some understanding and to allow our supervisors to fulfill their responsibilities as well as our desire to fulfill Council information requests, I have instructed the department directors to do as follows: 1. With a Council research or information request to an employee, the employee will ask for a supervisor and/or department director to determine the extent of the work to be done, time involved, and how it affects other work assignments for the employee. This will allow the supervisor to be aware of the work requested of a subordinate employee. 2. If the department director determines that the work is extensive, then he or she will inform me and I will request the City Council at an upcoming work session to approve or disapprove such a work assignment. Page 2 Work Assignments October 12, 2000 3. If the work involved is of a routine nature, the employee will be encouraged to proceed with the work requested by the Council Member after informing the Supervisor. 4. The final work will be routed through the depadment director and to my office so that I might distribute the information to the Council member as well as the other Council members. This assures all such work, particularly that which might be of a more extensive nature is shared with other Council members, I would hope you would understand it is difficult to be responsible for day to day work activities without full knowledge of the employee's work assignments. In order to respond to questions-notably in a public forum--I need, as do department directors, to be aware of information requests and other information distributed to Council.. By way of this procedure, it will allow us to fulfill to the fullest extent practical your information/research request, confirm with the Council if it is something more complex and requiring additional research, and let all parties be informed as to the resulting research and information. Mgr\memos\workassignmt.doc City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: October 10, 2000 ~YT/~'//~ To: City Manager From: Jeff Davidson, Acting JCCOG Traffic Engineering Planner 7~' Re: Traffic signal improvements at the intersection of Church Street and Dubuque Street We have recently conducted an investigation of improving traffic signal operation at the intersection of Church Street and Dubuque Street. For years there has been a capital improvement project proposed to add left turn lanes on the north and south approaches of Dubuque Street at the intersection with Church Street. This project has not been advanced to a funded year by the City Council due to the expense (approximately $300,000) and the need to acquire adjacent private property in order to add the turn lanes. Our recent study has shown that we can reduce overall delay at the intersection by going from the existing pre-timed traffic signal system to an actuated system. Our study showed that the existing pre-timed traffic signal system has unused green time on Church Street. This green time would be more efficiently allocated to the higher volume traffic movement on Dubuque Street. An actuated traffic signal controller will enable green time to be allocated to Dubuque Street except when there is an actuation from a vehicle on Church Street. It is also our intention to use this intersection improvement project to test video detection of vehicles. It is my opinion that video is the traffic signal detection technology of the future, compared to our existing technology of embedding loops in the pavement for detection of vehicles. The loops require significant maintenance compared to video detection. Many cities in Iowa are going to video detection at traffic signal controlled intersections as their design standard. The proposed improvement at the Church Street/Dubuque Street intersection will be installed by City crews at an approximate expense of $30,000. The majority of the expense is for the video detection equipment. We will receive a $6,000 discount from the vendor of the video detection equipment. They are trying to get more units installed in the field for use as demonstration projects. I have received questions about the video detection equipment being used to detect red light running vehicles. This has been reported in the national media to be occurring in some cities across the country. Enforcement of red light running will not be done with our video detection equipment. It is my understanding that Iowa state law does not allow video detection to be used for enforcement of red light running. Our equipment will be installed only to detect vehicles related to the traffic signal operation. Let me know if you have any questions. cc: City Council Chuck Schmadeke Rick Fosse Karin Franklin Guy Irvin jccogtp\memos\church-dubuque.doc City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM' Date: October 12, 2000 To: Mayor and City Council From: Marian K.

Gilbert Street TO: City Manager ~' ~ CITY OF IOWA CITY QUARTERLY INVESTMENT REPORT MARCH 31, 2000 to JUNE 30, 2000 Finance Department: Prepared by: Sara Sproule Senior Accountant OVERVIEW The City of Iowa City's investment objectives are safety, liquidity and yield. The primary objective of the City of Iowa City's investment activities is the preservation of capital and the protection of investment principal. The City's investment portfolio remains sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet operating requirements that cash management procedures anticipate. In investing public funds, the City's cash management portfolio is designed with the objective of regularly exceeding the average return on the six month U.S. Treasury Bill. The Treasury Bill is considered a benchmark for riskless investment transactions and therefore comprises a minimum standard for the portfolio's rate of return. The investment program seeks to achieve returns above the threshold, consistent with risk limitations and prudent investment principles. The quarterly investment report lists investments by fund, by institution, by maturity date, and investments purchased and redeemed. The Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate 50 basis points to 6.50 percent in the second quarter of 2000. The federal funds rate is the interest rate at which banks lend to each other. This was the sixth increase since June 1999. Previous increases by the Federal Reserve to the federal funds rate during fiscal year 2000 are detailed in the table below. The increase in the federal funds rate on June 30, 1999 was the first time this rate had been raised in two years. Basis Point Time Period Federal Funds Rate Increase 2nd Quarter 1999 4.75-5.00 25 3rd Quarter 1999 5.00-5.25 25 4th Quarter 1999 5.25-5.50 25 I st Quarter 2000 5.50-6.00 50 2nd Quarter 2000 6.00-6.50 50 The Federal Reserve also raised its discount rate by 50 basis points to 6.00 percent in the second quarter of 2000. This is the rate at which banks can borrow money from the Federal Reserve. Previous increases by the Federal Reserve to the discount rate during fiscal year 2000 are detailed in the table below. Basis Point Time Period Federal Funds Rate Increase 4th Quarter 1999 4.75-5.00 25 1st Quarter 2000 5.00-5.50 50 2nd Quarter 2000 5.50-6.00 50 In conjunction with the increases in the federal funds rate, the City of Iowa City is continuing to receive higher rates on our portfolio investments. Rates on new investment purchases are 145 to 200 basis points higher on investments purchased in the second quarter of 2000 than on investments maturing in the second quarter of 2000.

This memo and the attached information will respond to Councilor Kanner's request for information pertaining to First Avenue between Highway 6 and Rochester Avenue. I would like to caution that this is not an exhaustive analysis of traffic collisions in this corridor. This corddor consists of 16 street intersection segments and 15 intervening mid-blocks, and would require a significant amount of data generation and analysis to perform a proper assessment. What we have tried to do is synthesize information pertaining to the significant intersections and provide a rough assessment of the traffic collision history. In an arterial corridor intersections are the principle concern; if your intersections are okay then generally the corridor operates okay. While we do not mind responding to simple requests for information, in the future requests of this magnitude should appropriately be approved by the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board and amended into the JCCOG Transportation Planning Work Program. This allows us to prograrn projects of this magnitude for routine completion throughout the year, and if necessary, have the JCCOG Board reprioritize work items if new projects are deemed more important than others. To answer the easiest question first, truck traffic is allowed on any portion of First Avenue at the present time. Large vehicle embargoes are allowed by Iowa state law under certain circumstance,,;, and must be approved by ordinance adopted by the City Council. The only such ordinance currently in effect in Iowa City is on Kirkwood Avenue and Lower Muscatine Road. While these types of embargoes specify that large truck traffic be kept off certain roads, there are exemptions made for such things as moving vans, delivery vehicles, and City public works vehicles. If a majority of the City Council is in favor of pursuing a truck embargo on any street, the Transportation Plannin,g Division would prepare the appropriate ordinance in conjunction with the City Attorney's office. The attached pages address the questions regarding the collision history in the First Avenue corridor. Most traffic collisions occur at intersections, so we have attempted to display data from the highest traffic volume intersections between Rochester Avenue on the north to U.S. Highway 6 on the south. On the last couple of pages we have synthesized the intervening mid-block segment,,;, although most of the collisions indicated occurred at the minor intersections within mid-block segments. The number of collisions are shown for the years 1996, 1997, and 1998; these are the three most recent years of data we have from the Iowa DOT Access Accident Location Analysis System (ALAS). For each intersection, a table shows the number of collisions by crash type and the driver/vehicle-related contributing circumstances. Councilor Kanner asked specifically about the accident rate in the First Avenue corridor. Accident rates are useful in measuring accident experience since they relate accident frequency to traffic exposure. Intersection accident rates are expressed in terms of accidents per million entering vehicles (MEV) and provide a common denominator for comparison of traffic collisions at different locations. Intersection accident rate formula is expressed as: 2(# accidents) · (1,106) (# of days), (total ADT entering & leaving int) The accident rate was calculated for four intersections in the corridor: Intersection Rate/MEV 1996-98 First Avenue/Rochester Avenue 0.15 First Avenue/Court Street 0.07 First Avenue/Muscatine Avenue 0.09 First Avenue/U.S. Highway 6 0.39 For comparison purposes, I checked these collision rates against the top 12 highest accident intersections in our 1996 Iowa City Urbanized Area Traffic Accident Report. The 12 highest collision intersections in the Urbanized Area had accident rates ranging from 1.05 to 7.53. The First Avenue corridor intersections have considerably lower accident rates than the highest accident intemections in the Urbanized Area. ppdadm\mem\jd-kanner. doc -5TEVEN KANNER City Councilmember', 'rowe City Home Address: 807 E.

I will report this information the constituent who requested it. A constituent had concerns about 1~t Ave. - fi:om Hwy 6 up to north of Rochester where it ends. What is the accident rate on this stretch of city road for 19997 Is it any higher then other areas? Please give me a report similar to the one that you gave me for Van Buren. Second, can you tell me if tracks are currently allowed on 1~t Ave - anywhere? What is the city law regarding trucks on 1st Ave?
