ITEM NO. 10. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 14, CHAPTER 3 (CITY
UTILITIES) OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF IOWA
CITY BY AMENDING PARAGRAPH 6B-1, REMOVING THE
RESOLUTION AND PUBLIC HEARING REQUIREMENTS FOR
CERTIFICATION OF UNPAID DELINQUENT UTILITY CHARGES TO
THE COUNTY TREASURER FOR COLLECTION IN THE S
d
simplify and expedite the collection of unpaid delinquencies on utility
accounts by removing the resolution to City Council, removing the public
hearing requirement, and establishing the collection processes as
stipulated in State Code 384.84. This change also promotes City fiscal
responsibility by facilitating timely collections. Past practice was to
complete this collection process annually. Owners and landlords of
residential rental properties have requested that the City process these
collections more frequently as their means of collection from any tenant at
that late date is limited. With the approval of this amendment the City's
lien collection for unpaid delinquent utility services will be scheduled on a
quarterly basis and thereby processed more effectively.

ITEM NO. 11. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE TITLE 14,
ENTITLED "UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE," CHAPTER 5, ENTITLED
"BUILDING AND HOUSING," BY ADDING A NEW ARTICLE K
ENTITLED "CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION CODE" TO ESTABLISH
PROCEDURES FOR CONVERSION OF EXISTING STRUCTURES
USED FOR HUMAN HABITATION TO HORIZONTAL PROPERTY
REGIMES (CONDOMINIUMS). (SECOND CONSIDERATION)
Comment: The Iowa legislature passed a law (S.F. 2426) effective April
25, 2000 that allows an existing building to be converted to a
condominium if the city's building requirements as of the date of
conversion are met. However, S.F. 2426 does not provide any
procedures by which the local building department is to determine if the
requirements are met. This ordinance provides those procedures and
also provides that fees will be adopted by resolution to offset the costs of
inspections. This ordinance applies only to condominiums used for
human habitation. Two applications to convert existing structures have
on the agenda is a
proposed resolution to establish fees, which are needed if this ordinance
passes.

Comment: On April 25, 2001, the Iowa legislature passed a law (S.F.
2426) that allows an existing building used for human habitation to be

proposed ordinance, which is on this agenda for expedited consideration,

Comment: The proposed ordinance would regulate the number and
location of parked, or stored vehicles in any single-family or duplex
residential area. This ordinance has been drafted in response to
neighborhood complaints about excessive vehicle storage and parking in
residential areas and its negative impact on the neighborhood. This
ordinance provides standards to protect residential properties from any
negative impacts that may result from excessive outdoor storage of
vehicles. Deferred on February 20.
