NOTICE OF INTENT TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY RIGHTS WHICH MAY BE
NEEDED FOR COURT HILL TRUNK SANITARY SEWER PROJECT
TO: Wilfreda A. & Albert N. Hieronymus
3322 Muscatine Avenue
Iowa City, IA 52245
Chapter 6B of the Iowa Code requires a governmental body which proposes to acquire
property rights under power of eminent domain for a public improvement project to give
notice of the project to all agricultural property owners whose properties may be affected and
to hold a public hearing.
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to the above-identified agricultural property owners that the
City Council of the City of Iowa City will consider funding of the site-specific design for the
Court Hill Trtmk Sanitary Sewer Project, making the final selection of the route or site
location, or acquiring or condemning property rights, if necessary, required for the project.
Said project involves construction of a sanitary sewer from Court Hill Park to Scott Park
along Ralston Creek.
2. PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS MAY BE ACQUIRED BY NEGOTIATION
OR CONDEMNATION.
If the above-described project is approved by the City Council, the City may need to acquire
property rights for the project improvements. Property rights may include a temporary
construction easement, a permanent easement, and/or a fee simple parcel (complete
ownership). Upon review of the records of the Johnson County Auditor, it appears that
properties or portions of properties owned by the above-identified persons may have to be
acquired for the project by the methods described above. The City will attempt to purchase
the required property by good faith negotiations. If negotiations are unsuccessful, the City
will condemn those property rights which it determines are necessary for the project. The
proposed location of the above-described public improvement is shown on documentation
which is now on file in the office of the City Clerk and available for public viewing.
3. CITY PROCESS TO DECIDE TO PROCEED WITH THE PROJECT AND TO
ACQUIRE PROPERTY RIGHTS; CITY COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED TO
FUND PROJECT.
The City has provided funding in its budget for this project, as well as funding to acquire any
property rights that may be needed for the project. City staff has analyzed the options for how
to proceed with this project and has coordinated project planning with other appropriate
agencies. The planning has reached the point where preliminary designs now indicate that
certain property rights may need to be acquired. Any public comment will be considered in
preparing the final designs, particularly as private property may be affected.
In making the decision to fund the site-specific design for the public improvement, to make
the final selection of the rome or site location, or to acquire or condemn property rights, if
necessary, the City Council is required to hold a public hearing, giving persons interested in
the proposed project the opportunity to present their views regarding the decision to fund the
2
site-specific designs for the project, make the final selection of the route or site location, or to
acquire or condemn, if necessary, property or an interest in property for the project. The
public hearing will be held on the 19th day of December, 2000 in the City Council
Chambers, Civic Center, 410 East Washington Street, Iowa City, Iowa, commencing at
7:00 p.m. or, if cancelled, at the next meeting of the City Council thereafter as posted by
the City Clerk. In order to fund the site-specific design for the public improvement, to
make the final selection of the route or site location, or to commence the acquisition or
condemnation of property rights, if necessary, for the above-described project, City Council
will be required to approve the project and authorize acquisition of private property rights for
the project by Council resolution. The City Council is scheduled to consider adoption of a
resolution authorizing acquisition of property rights for the above-described project following
the public hearing.
When an appraisal is required, if the project is approved by the City Council, an appraiser
will determine the compensation to be paid for easements and/or property acquired in fee
simple. The City will offer no less than the appraised value and will attempt to purchase only
the needed property by good faith negotiations. If the City is unable to acquire properties
needed for the project by negotiation, the City will acquire those property rights by
condemnation.

Item: SUB00-0020 Final Plat Date: September 7,2000
Walnut Ridge Parts 8,9 and 10
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Applicant: Southgate Development
PO Box 1907
Iowa City, IA 52244
Requested Action: Final Plat approval
Purpose: Development of 22 residential lots
Location: Kennedy Parkway extended
Size: 35.14 acres
Existing Land Use and Zoning: OPDH-1; undeveloped
Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: P and ID-RS; undeveloped woodlands
South: QPDH-1; residential
East: P; agricultural
West: ID-RS; agricultural
Comprehensive Plan: Residential 2-8 dwelling units per acre
File Date: August 17, 2000
45-Day Limitation Period: October 1, 2000
60~Day Limitation Period: October 15, 2000
SPECIAL INFORMATION:
Public Utilities: City water and sewer service is available.
Public Services: The City will provide police and fire protection.
City refuse and recycling services will be
provided.
Transportation: The nearest transit stop is at Hawkeye Drive and
Melrose Avenue.
Physical Characteristics: Rolling topography including steep, critical and
protected slopes and woodlands.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Development of Walnut Ridge began in 1990 when an Overlay Planned Development
Housing Plan was approved to allow 104 single-family lots on 168 acres. Subsequently
parts 1 to 7 have been final platted and mostly developed. The property was zoned OPDH-1
to allow streets which did not meet City design standards in terms of width and sidewalks.
Given the large lots and low density (less than 1 unit per acre), it was thought that full City
design standards were not necessary.
The preliminary plat and sensitive areas plan for parts 8, 9 and 10 are currently being
reviewed by the City Council. The Commission has recommended approval of the
preliminary plat and plan subject to the final plat including a City Forester-approved tree
replacement plan and a conservation easement to assure the long-term protection of the
woodlands and protected slopes. The applicant is now requesting approval of the preliminary
plat for parts 8, 9 and 10.
ANALYSIS:
The final plat is in general compliance with the pending preliminary plat. A tree replacement
plan has been submitted. It proposes the planting of 60 trees of the same species that were
removed from the woodland. The replacement trees are proposed within the street right-of-
way and within the common open space outlots. The City Forester is reviewing the plan and
should have comments prior to the Commission's informal meeting.
Construction plans and legal papers have been submitted and are being reviewed by the
Public Works Department and the City Attorney's Office. These documents should be
approved prior to City Council consideration of the final plat. A conservation easement for
the protection of the woodlands and protected slopes is included as part of the legal
papers.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of SUB00-0020 an application from Southgate Development
for a final plat of Walnut Ridge Parts 8-10, a 35.14-acre, 22-1ot residential subdivision
located on Kennedy Parkway subject to staff approval of legal papers and construction
drawings prior to City Council consideration.

From: David Schoon, Economic Development Coordina.
Re: Property Tax Exemption Application for Property Located at 332 S. Linn Street
On your agenda is a resolution approving an application from Gene L.C. for property tax
exemption for property located at 332 S. Linn Street. The purpose of this memo is to provide a
brief history on property tax exemption in the Near Southside Neighborhood and to outline the
eligibility criteria for property tax exemption.
Near Southside Commercial Urban Revitalization Plan
In December 1994, the City Council designated a portion of the Near Southside Neighborhood
as the Near Southside Commercial Urban Revitalization Area in order to provide property tax
exemptions for qualifying commercial developments (see attached map). In October 1999, the
City Council amended the Near Southside Commercial Urban Revitalization Plan in order to
make the eligibility criteria for property tax exemption more consistent with the then recently
adopted Central Business District Urban Revitalization Plan.
Eligibility Criteria
According to the Near Southside Commercial Urban Revitalization Plan, projects within the
revitalization area must meet the following criteria to qualify for property tax exemption:
· Qualified real estate includes real estate assessed as commercial property. Only the non-
residential commercial component of a commercial property would qualify for property tax
exemption. However, any reuse of a historic structure assessed as residential (owner-
occupied housing - condominium units for example), residential commercial (rental
housing), or non-residential commercial property shall be considered qualified real estate
and thus eligible for property tax exemption. Given that the proposed project is new
construction and does not reuse a historic structure, only the non-residential
commercial component of the project qualifies for the property tax exemption. In this
instance, the qualifying portion of the project consists of approximately 20,000
square feet of non-residential commercial space located on street level and half of the
below grade parking, which is reserved for the non-residential commercial space.
· Eligible construction includes rehabilitations, additions, and new construction. However,
new construction that requires the demolition of structures identified in the Near Southside
Commercial Urban Revitalization Plan as historic and/or architecturally significant is not
eligible for property tax exemption. The application is for a project consisting of new
construction. The project did not require the demolition of historic and/or
architecturally significant structures as identified in the Plan.
· In order to be eligible for property tax exemption and prior to the issuance of a building
permit, the exterior design of any qualifying project must be either 1 ) reviewed by the staff
design review committee and approved by City Council or 2) reviewed and approved by the
Historic Preservation Commission. The exterior design of the structure was approved
by the Oity Oouncil by Resolution Number 99-37'6 on November 9, 1999.
· In order to be considered eligible for property tax exemption, all improvements must
increase the actual value of the property as of the first year for which an exemption is
received by at least fifteen percent (15%) in the case of real property assessed as
commercial property and by at least ten (10%) in the case of real property assessed as
residential property. The actual value of the improvements on the property as of
January 2001 must be at least fifteen percent greater than the assessed value of the
improvements on the property as of January 2000. The actual value of improvements
on the property as of January 2000 was $100,000. (The old structures had been
removed by then and the construction of a new foundation had begun.) It appears
that the applicant will easily meet this criterion. As provided for in State Code, the
City Assessor will determine whether or not the project meets this criterion after the
Council's approval of the application.
Given that the project meets the criteria identified in the Near Southside Urban Revitalization
Plan, staff recommends Council adoption of the resolution approving the property tax
application for property located at 332 S. Linn Street.

Re: Property Tax Savings for 332 S. Linn Street
Councilor Pfab requested a calculation for the amount of property tax savings the property
owner of 332 S. Linn Street will benefit from the property tax exemption. Assuming that the
actual assessed value is equal to the "estimated or actual cost of improvements for which
exemption is sought," which is $1,350,000, the property owner will save approximately $195,000
over the ten-year life of the exemption schedule. During that same 10 year period, the property
owner will pay approximately $250,000 in property taxes on that same $1,350,000 of assessed
value.

PAY PLAN BY DELETING THE POSITION OF CENTRAL SERVICES CLERK.
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 99-201, adopted by the City Council on June 15, 1999, established a
classification/compensation plan for AFSCME employees; and

centralized office supply function and enable staff to purchase office supplies directly from an
on-line vendor, thereby reducing costs of administration and storage of inventory; and

determined that it would be more cost effective to outsource the City's printing needs.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY,

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 30, 2000
To: Stephen Atkins, City Manager
From: Kevi n O'Malley, Director of Finance,--Z~'g,l/,.x¢lA
Re: Elimination of Central Services Division Position
Central Services Clerk (Print Shop)
Recommendation:
To delete the position of Central Services Clerk (Print Shop) from the City's pay plan.
Background:
The primary duties of this position have been 1 ) maintenance of the centralized office supply
inventory and 2) provision of centralized print shop services, primarily through the operation of a
large in-house copie~duplicator.
Several months ago the Central Services Administrator initiated a study of the relative
efficiencies associated with the maintenance of an in-house office supply inventory. We have
converted to an on-line direct ordering system. In this manner the City achieves cost
efficiencies in lower administration charges and reduced costs of inventories. Also, the space
formerly used by the office supply room has been freed up for other uses.
Likewise, a similar analysis of the print shop operation was undertaken. The timing of this
analysis was initiated by the need to replace the present duplicator, which had been
experiencing increased downtime and reduced print quality.
Findings:
In analyzing expenditure reports, we have observed a general decline in print shop use.
Currently two-thirds of the City's total printing needs are outsourced. This outsourcing was
being done on a decentralized, non-contract basis, so no quantity discounts were achieved.
The final recommendation is based upon the following facts:
1. Current average equipment utilization during normal work day - 20% of maximum
capacity
2. Cost of new equipment - $200,000 to $250,000
3. New internal chargeback rates would need to be increased from $.0568 to $.07
compared to $.045 to $.05 per copy for outsourced copy services.
4. The vendor awarded the City's contract would provide for state of the art printing
technology. It would be financially infeasible for the City to allocate the amount of
resources needed to maintain state of the art printing technology. The City is also unable
to afford the equipment to enable the variety of services an outside printing service
provides.
5. If the City were to purchase a replacement duplicator, it would be "locked out" of
advancements that would occur during the life of that machine. More prevalent use of
color printing is an example of such an advancement. Outsourcing this service defers
this responsibility to the vendor, while gaining the immediate benefit of changing printing
technology to City staff.
6. Vendor would provide pickup and delivery service to the Civic Center and other sites
such as the Library. The printing vendor operates longer production hours than the
standard City work day, thereby shortening turnaround time. Most routine projects
would be guaranteed with a maximum turnaround time of 48 hours, with special
provisions for rush projects. This meets or exceeds existing turnaround times.
7. State of the art printing technology available from a printing vendor would enable
features such as e-mail transmission of files that would improve print quality and
possibly reduce turnaround time.
8. Printing services have redundant printers which reduce the present risk of the one City
duplicator being down for breakdowns or routine maintenance.
Upon analysis of the above factors, an in-house staff committee unanimously recommended
that City printing needs be outsourced. The elimination of the internal office supply function and
the outsourcing of printing services have eliminated the majority of the job duties performed by
the Central Services Clerk. Miscellaneous remaining duties can be absorbed by staff in Central
Services and Document Services Divisions. It is therefore recommended that this position be
eliminated from the City's pay plan.

Dear Mayor Lehman,
Recently AFSCME Local 183 received a letter regarding the possible
reduction in personnel in the Purchasing Department, more specifically the
outsourcing of Printing. Became outsourcing of services is one of our major
concerns we have dedicated many resources to evaluate the possible benefits
and pitfalls of such proposals.
AFSCME would like the oppommity to present to yourself and the City
Council our outcome on any outsourcing before this vote is taken. We
would also use this oppommity to remind you and the City Council of the
failures of outsourcing that have occurred within the City, i.e. Central
Business District and Library Janitofial Staff just to name a couple.
We would appreciate your assistance and attention regarding this matter.
Thank you in advance.

Iowa City, IA 52246
Dear Ms. Sackfield:
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of October 16. 2000 regarding outsourcing of the
City's printing and related services. The decision was made by the City Manager and the
Director of Finance after carefully considering economic and other factors relative to maintaining
this service in-house versus outsourcing it. The City Council delegates to the City Manager the
discretion for determining how the City operations will be undertaken and we in turn hold the
City Manager and his staff accountable for employing the most efficient and cost-effective
means for carrying out that charge. The Council in turn allocates the necessary resources,
including staff, to support the operation.
You may speak to this matter when it is considered by the City Council at our November 7, 2000
