The concerns expressed were primarily about the number of bidders and the bid amount. Number of Bids The receipt of one bid is not unique to Iowa City Housing Authority homeownership development projects. In all previous Affordable Dream Home Ownership Program (ADHOP) projects, the Iowa City Housing Authority received only one bid (i.e. Moore Construction Company). Contractors have indicated the reasons for not bidding are primarily the contractor bonding requirement and Davis-Bacon paperwork, coupled with the small project size and Iow profit margin. Contractor bonding is required because these projects are defined as "public improvements", therefore, under state law contractors must be bonded. Not only does the "bonding" requirement limit the number of potential bidders it adds cost to the project (i.e. bid bond costs approximately 1% of project total and adds $2700 in cost to this project). Amount of Bid The difference between the staff estimate ($220,000) and the Todd Hackett Construction bid ($288,000) is $68,000. This significant difference between the "estimate" and the "bid", however, doesn't necessarily mean the bid should be rejected without further analysis. The staff estimate is a "best guess prediction" because its not based on actual costs but on reported average square foot costs to construct similar structures in the Midwest. The "estimate" is an average and doesn't account for recent increases in material costs (Katrina factor), specific site conditions (i.e. foundation wall, soil/fill, etc.) and specific design features (porches, decks, patio, 2x6 walls, etc.). The best way to review the quality of the Longfellow bid would be by comparing it to the actual cost to construct a similar duplex in Iowa City. Since receipt of the Longfellow bid, Arlington Development Company has submitted plans for construction of a similar sized, slab on grade, duplex (two bedrooms) located on Brentwood in east Iowa City. The cost comparison between Longfellow Place and Brentwood is shown below: Longfellow Place (3 bedrooms) Brentwood (2 bedrooms) Total cost including land = $322,000 Total cost including land = $328,000 Total cost per unit = $161,000 Total cost per unit = $164,000 October 24, 2005 Page 2 As discussed at the informal Council meeting, site conditions at Longfellow Place was one of the factors increasing construction costs. The Brentwood site is flat and does not have the additional foundation requirements, soil removal and fill conditions, and the higher utility installation costs. The Longfellow site condition factors have added approximately $10,000 to the overall construction costs. Conclusion I recommend awarding the bid to Todd Hackett Construction Company. I have discussed the extra foundation costs with Todd Hackett and we believe by lowering the elevation of the unit fronting on Longfellow Place additional cost savings will be realized, however, this amount cannot be determined until the unit elevation is set. In addition, I have made other minor revisions to the plan that save approximately $5,000. Finally, the sales tax refund for this project will be approximately $4,700. With these costs savings measures, I expect to lower the purchase price of the Longfellow units by about $5,000 per unit or $156,000 total price per unit. The $156,000 is comparable to the price of other homes the Housing Authority has made affordable to Iow income families. Hsgad m/memos/lo ngfellowpl.doc Prepared by: Susan Dulek, Asst.

The Commission is asked to approve the authorization of sharp shooting deer in Iowa City for 2005-2006 with the following stipulations: 1) take antlerless deer only; 2) removal of antlerless deer to be done between January 11, 2006 and February 28, 2006; 3) Iowa City should develop a plan that uses bow hunting on areas where suitable, and allow sharp shooting in areas where bow hunting can not be done because of access logistics. Dale Garner reported that the Iowa City Deer Task Force did recommend an archery hunt but their city council turned that down. He added that we would like to have Iowa City work with us to address their needs. Therefore, our staff has recommended that they be allowed to sharp shoot deer in Iowa City. Our recommendation is that they take antlerless only deer and remove antlerless deer after January 10. Mr. Garner said staff still believes Iowa City should use a plan that uses bow hunting in areas where they do not have access. Mr. Garner noted that our recommendation last year was to shoot antlerless deer only but they shot about 40% bucks. He said that it is very difficult to identify a buck fawn from a female fawn but the gentleman that is doing the shooting is a well-trained professional and is shooting the deer at less than 40 yards and he should have the ability to differentiate between a buck and doe. Mr. Garner said one of the recommendations he would make to Iowa City would be to pay the sharp shooter for only the female deer that he shoots. Mr. Garner noted that estimates by Willie Suchy indicate that if the number of bucks shot are taken into consideration, they are not meeting their goals in some areas. He added that the department wants to work with the city to provide their expertise but if they choose to pay a sharpshooter out of taxpayer dollars, it is not up to us to say they are wasting their money. Commissioner Francisco remarked that one of the task force members pointed out to him that one of the reasons they recommended an archery hunt in addition to sharp shooting this year is that sharp shooting is not accomplishing the goals. Mr. Francisco suggested that the department in its cover letter could offer our help in their dealing with liability issues. He said they expressed concern that they could not designate zones within the city where hunting could or could not occur so their main problem is that it would require an ordinance change. Mr. Francisco said city council meeting notes indicated they wanted to have sharp shooting on the university campus but the college is not willing to consider sharp shooting acceptable except during Christmas break. He said he does agree we should allow them to sharp shoot but also recommend to the task force that they negotiate a contract that accepts does only. Mr. Francisco said the Task Force should be commended for recognizing that sharp shooting was not achieving their goals. A copy of our letter should also be sent to the city council. Chairperson Marcantonio commented that she has a problem with us stipulating what the Iowa City Council should develop. She said we should recommend and encourage them to develop bow hunting, but we should not stipulate to a local government. N05Jun-51 June 2005 Natural Resource Commission Minutes Director Vonk stated that the department should offer the city assistance in any way and offer help on liability issues and be proactive to answer their questions. Motion was made by Commissioner Franctsco to appro e the Iowa City Deer Management Plan fi)r 2005-2006. Seconded by Commissioner Duncai~. Motion carried unanimously. DEER MANAGEMENT PLAN APPROVED PUBLIC PARTICIPATION - PAMELA MACKEY TAYLOR Pamela Mackey Taylor presented the following prepared statement: "The Iowa DNR staff prepared a report in response to the Petition submitted by the undersigned to place the mountain lion or cougar on the state's endangered species list. We disagree with the staff's recommendation that the cougar not be placed on the list. 1. Staff says that the only cougars in Iowa are a few young males passing through. They cite no scientific evidence to support this statement. In fact, when Ron Andrews gives his presentation around the state, he says there are several cougars in Iowa. He does not say they are just passing through. Mr. Andrews further explains that the carrying capacity for cougars is being reached in South Dakota's Black Hills, and the males are dispersing and looking for more territory. The females will also disperse. It is significant that the same situation exists in Missouri, with a few cougars drifting back into the state. Missouri, however, had enough political courage to place the cougar on the state's endangered species list. Staff then says that there is insufficient appropriate habitat for cougars in Iowa. Since cougars are native to Iowa, the habitat is obviously appropriate. Although Iowa is the most environmentally altered sate in the nation and there is certainly less native habitat for the cougar now than in the nineteenth century, there are still areas of the state where cougars can exist. Furthermore, loss of habitat is one of the grounds for listing a species as endangered. Most endangered species achieve that status because of loss of habitat. So rather than being a justification for not listing the cougar, loss of habitat should be a reason for listing. 2. DNR staff also objects to our comparison of the cougar with the bobcat. The statement is made that the bobcat was classified a a furbearer, not an endangered species, from 1930's to 1977, and therefore the cougar should be s well. The fallacy of that argument is that there ws no endangered species law or list until 1977. When the endangered species list was first created in 1977, the bobcat was immediately placed on the list. Staff credits the resurgence of the bobcat to a decline in trapping. Of course there was a decline in trapping. The animal was on the endangered, and then the threatened, list so it could not be trapped. If the cougar is place3d on the endangered species list, it will increase in numbers just as the bobcat did. Staff also credits habitat improvement for increasing bobcat numbers. That is the point that was made previously about increasing habitat for the cougar. 3. Staff also dismisses the comparison of the cougar in Iowa with the jaguar in the southwestern United States. Staff argues that the jaguar was endangered everywhere in the range. The fact is that the cougar is endangered everywhere in its range in Iowa. Endangered status in a state for a state list is not based on the species' national status. This argument by staff is reminiscent of the plan several years ago by the DNR to exclude plants in the border counties from the state endangered or threatened in the adjoining state. This scheme was so scientifically and legally flawed that it was severely and effectively criticized and not carried out.

Part I, Section 5 of that agreement provides: "Section 5. Time for Commencement and Completion of Minimum Improvements. The construction of the Project and Minimum Improvements referred to in Section 301 of Part II hereof shall commence not later than November 1, 2003, and shall be completed on or before November 1, 2005." With agreement of the City, the commencement date of this project was extended. In addition, there are a number of complex interior commercial buildouts in this project which involve extensive mechanical engineering and design. Our goal is to have the building complete, including interior buildouts, by December 31st with occupancy in early January, 2006. However, in an abundance of caution, we request an extension of the completion date to and including February 1, 2006. We sincerely appreciate your cooperation in this request.

Paragraph numbered 1 of Exhibit "D" to that agreement states, in part: "Any residential units shall not contain more than two bedrooms per unit except with written approval of the City." None of the apartments in Plaza Towers exceed two bedrooms. Five of the purchasers of condominium units bought two units and combined them into a single unit. In these larger combined units, there is a master bedroom and two smaller rooms. All three could be used as bedrooms. These could also be dens, studies, sitting rooms, etc. All five of these "double" units were purchased as owner occupied units. These units are completely consistent with the goal of attracting adult popUlation as permanent downtown residents. We request that the City provide written approval for these units which have the potential of three bedrooms. Please let me know if you need any additional information or if you have questions. ce11:319.430.3010 Prepared by: Eleanor M. Dilkes, City Attorney, 410 E.
