on June 26. The applicant is now requesting approval of the final plat for Parts 9 &1 0.
ANALYSIS:
The final plat is in general compliance with the subdivision regulations and the amended
preliminary plat and OPDH plan. Construction plans and legal papers are being reviewed by the
Public Works Department and the City Attorney's Office. These documents should be ~pproved
prior to City Council consideration of the final plat.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of SUB00-0020 an application from Southgate Development for a

SPECIAL INFORMATION:
Public Utilities: The City will extend public utilities to serve this
subdivision
Public Services: Police and fire protection will be provided by the City;
sanitation services will be provided by private
haulers
Transportation: Access to the property will be provided via Ruppert
Road and Riverside Drive
Transit: The nearest transit route is the Westpond route,
which passes through Gateway One Plaza, adjacent
to this property
Physical characteristics: Flat terrain, with a pondion in the 100-year flood plain.
The site also contains areas of hydric soils, and 2.24
acres of wetlands.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In 1990, the Iowa City Airport Commission identified areas of the north portion of the airport
property that could be developed for commercial or industrial uses. The airport master plan,
completed in 1996, reaffirmed the Airpond Commission's priority to develop pondions of airpond
property that are not needed for aviation purposes. The preliminary plat for the North Airpond
commercial development was approved by the City Council on August 15, 2000.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed commercial subdivision consists of 17 commercial lots and 2 outlots. The lots will
be accessed via Ruppert Road, an extension of a portion of Ruppert Road between Highway 1
and Riverside Drive. Ruppert Road will be constructed to collector street standards, with a 60-foot
right-of-way and a 31-foot pavement. The plat includes a 60-foot wide north-south access
easement that can be used for an additional north-south road in the future. This is consistent with
the South Central District Plan statement that connections for north-south collector streets for the
developing commercial and industrial airport properties should be established for interior lot
access and to extend a street to the south should the airport ever be relocated or closed. The plat
also contains an access easement along the north side of the subdivision that can serve as a rear
service lane for these lots in the future.
The final plat is in general conformance with the preliminary plat, and with the subdivision
regulations.
Wetlands
The preliminary plat was approved subject to a wetland mitigation plan being approved by the US
Army Corps of Engineers. Approximately 2.25 acres of wetlands will be disturbed as pand of the
North Airpond Commercial development. In a letter dated April 28, 2000, the Corps of Engineers
has accepted the City's proposal to designate 7.04 acres of the wetlands being created in the
South Sycamore Stormwater Management Area as mitigation for the wetlands being disturbed.
The created wetlands will be associated with the regional stormwater system the City is
constructing to manage stormwater in the South Sycamore Street area. The 7.04 wetlands that
3
will be created are planned to be of higher quality than the wetlands that will be displaced as part
of the North Airport Development.
Stormwater Management
The stormwater management system is proposed to be a long, dry-bottomed drainageway located
along the west and south property boundaries of the development. This configuration places the
stormwater detention facility to the rear of the larger lots along the south side of Ruppert Road.
Stormwater will be piped under Riverside Drive and into the Iowa River. The drainageway will be
a dry-bottomed facility, and creates a situation where ponding water is infrequent (during heavy
rains) and is less likely to attract waterfowl, which can create hazards for aircraft.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB00-0021, the final plat of the North Airport Development Subdivision,
be approved, subject to approval of legal papers prior to City Council consideration.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Arlington L.C. c/o Gary Watts, is requesting final plat approval of Stone Bridge
Estates Part 1, a 4.93-acre, 16-1ot with 1 outlot single-family subdivision located east of Camden
Road, north of Coud Street, and west of Taft Avenue. This property, along with surrounding
property, was annexed into Iowa City in 2000, and was zoned single-family residential, RS-5, at
that time. The preliminary plat for Stone Bridge Estates Pad 1 was approved in April 2001.
ANALYSIS:
Consistency with Preliminary Plat
The proposed final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat. The plat consists of 16
single-family residential lots and one outlot that is reserved for future development when the
property to the west develops.
Open Space
The Northeast District Plan shows public open space being provided along a creek to the east of
this subdivision, potentially along a drainageway to the northwest, and being incorporated into a
public square centering on Lower West Branch Road. For Stone Bridge Estates Part 1, fees in
lieu of open space will be provided. The fees will go toward purchasing or improving the open
space areas planned for this neighborhood, as contemplated in the Northeast District Plan. The
fees will be equivalent to the appraised value of 0.11 acres of open space, according to the
adopted open space formula in Section 14-7D of the City Code.
Water Main Tap-On Fee
Water main extension tap-on fees at a rate of $395 per acre will be required for this subdivision
and future subdivisions in the area.
Minimum Lot Size
Many of the lots proposed for this subdivision are less than 8,000 square feet, the minimum lot
size in the RS-5 zone. The RS-5 zone allows for 'averaging' the lot sizes so the overall density
does not go above five units per acre, with the condition that no lot be less than 7,200 square feet,
or more than 15,000 square feet. The proposed plat meets these requirements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB01-00007, a final plat of Stone Bridge Estates Part 1, a 4.93-acre, 16-
lot residential subdivision with 1 outlot, located east of Camden Road and north of Court Street,
be approved, subject to approval of construction plans and legal papers prior to City Council
consideration.

Re: Procedure for Section 453A.22 Due Process Hearings
From: Andrew Chappell, Assistant County Attorney/~
I was asked by City Clerk Marian Karr to draft a brief outline of the procedures for conducting
hearings pursuant to Iowa Code section 453A.22 (2001). My response follows.
· While the hearings will take place in public and during regular meetings of the City Council,
they are not in fact "public hearings" in the legal sense. The purpose of the hearings is to
provide the City Council with sufficient information to determine whether, based on the facts,
the civil penalty should be assessed and to do so in a manner providing the permit holder with
due process. As such, the hearings have no need for and will not provide the opportunity for
public comment.
· At the hearing I will prove up the employee's guilty plea or conviction using a certified copy
of the same. I will also have a participating officer available to answer the Council's
questions, if any, about the procedures followed during the actual compliance check.
· After I have proved up the employee's guilty plea or conviction and I or the officer have
answered the Council's questions, the permit holder will have the opportunity to make any
statement or provide appropriate information to the Council. Any questions the permit holder
has should be addressed to the council.
· As soon as the Corn:ell hears from both sides and has any discussioWdeliberation it deems
necessary, it should decide whether the civil penalty should be assessed and adopt an
appropriate resolution.
· I envision the individual hearings taking no more than five to ten minutes a piece. This will
depend greatly, however, on the information offered to and the amount of discussion by the
Council at any given hearing.
The above are some specific procedures for conducting the section 453A.22 hearings. Generally,
however, they are similar to any other item on the Council's agenda in that the Mayor should
preside over them in a manner consistent with the wishes of the majority of the council.
If you have any specific questions do not hesitate to contact me.

MEMORANDUM
Date: July 25, 2001
To: City Council
From: David Schoon, Economic Development Coordinator
Re: Seabury &Smith Application for TIF Property Tax Rebate ..
Seabury & Smith requests that the City grant a ten-year declining percentage tax increment
financing (TIF) property tax rebate for a new facility it plans to lease from Southgate
Development in the Northgate Corporate Park. Seabury & Smith is looking to expand its Iowa
City operations, and its decision to expand here will be influenced by the financial assistance
provided by the TI F property tax rebate.
The Project
Marsh Advantage America is a service of Seabury & Smith, a Marsh & McLennan Company.
The company has had a continuous presence in Iowa City since 1963, when the company
started as Riepe, Buchanan, and Piper. The company administers employee benefit and
commercial property casualty programs for employers. The Iowa City facility is the largest office
within Marsh Advantage America's National Administration Center, which bills and remits
premiums, processes enrollment forms, pays claims, and provides customer services for its
clients.
Seabury & Smith has negotiated with Southgate Development to build a 46,300 square foot
building in Northgate Corporate Park. In addition to growth in employment, this new facility will
house existing Iowa City Seabury & Smith operations. Operations from the following locations
will relocate to the new facility: 2615 Northgate Drive, 321 E. Washington Street, and 1820
Boyrum Street. Seabury & Smith's lease with Southgate Development has been negotiated as
a build-to-suit, triple net lease at fair market value. Seabury & Smith will be responsible for the
property taxes. The following highlights the proposed project.
· Total Capital Investment $6.65.million
$4.65 million - 46,500 square foot building
$1.00 million - Land cost and site preparation
$1.00 million - Furniture & fixtures
· Jobs New Positions & Average Hourly Wage
*7* 30 Full-time positions at $11.55/hr
o.~o5 Part-time positions at $8.00/hr.
o;o 35 I Full & part-time positions at 11.32/hr.
New & Existing Positions & Average Hourly Wage
o.*o202 Full-time positions at $15.70/hr.
o:° 25 Part-time positions at $8.00/hr.
oto 227 Full & part-time positions at $15.33/hr.
· Total Annual Income Year 1- $432,500 Year 2 - $913,750
Attached you will find the company's application for funding, which provides further information
on the project.
Public Financial Incentives
As previously stated, Seabury & Smith requests that the City grant a ten-year declining
percentage tax increment financing (TIF) properb/tax rebate for its new site. The actual
property tax rebate will apply only to the added value to the site, both in terms of building value
and land value.
I st Year - 100% 6th Year - 50%
2"d Year - 90% 7t" Year - 40%
3~d Year - 80% 8th Year - 30%
4th Year - 70% 9tb Year - 20%
5th Year- 60% 10th Year-10%
Based on a $4.65 million building and current tax rates, Seabury & Smith would save
approximately $781,200 in property taxes over the ten-year period. Over this same ten year
period Seabury & Smith will pay approximately $753,500 in property taxes (all taxing districts).
Financial Assistance Guidelines
Attached you will find a copy of the City's financial assistance guidelines with statements
indicating how the characteristics of the Seabury & Smith project compare with these guidelines.
Based on this comparison, staff concludes that the characteristics of the Seabury & Smith
project are generally consistent with the City's guidelines.
Staff is still in the process of completing its review of public legal database sources in order to
provide comment on the financial assistance eligibility guideline regarding if the company has a
consistent pattern of compliance with the law and the spirit of the law. This delay is a result of
staff workloads, rather than the applicant and its application. The findings of staff's review will
be presented at your work session on Monday evening.
Based upon the rest of the financial assistance guidelines and assuming that staff's review
shows that the company has a consistent pattern of complying with law and the spirit of the law,
staff recommends that the Council adopt the resolution approving a ten-year declining
percentage tax increment financing property tax rebate to assist Seabury & Smith with a new
facility in Iowa City.
SEABURY & SMITH
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES
PRIVATE FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION AS COMPARED TO PUBLIC ASSISTANCE REQUEST
o:o A greater percentage of contribution by the assisted business;
The business' contribution to the project is approximately 90% of the project costs (this does not
include operating expenses) (Application, question 2.6)
o:o A shorter payback period or expiration for financial assistance;
The business is requesting a ten-year declining percentage TIF property tax rebate. During this ten-
year period, the business will receive a TIF property tax rebate equally approximately $781,200
(estimate based only upon construction estimate for building). Also during this ten-year pedod, the
business will pay $753,500 in property taxes that will be allocated to all of the taxing districts.
o:o A lower amount of City financial assistance per job.
The application indicates the creation of 30 full-time positions and 5 part-time positions. Based on
this job creation number, the City's financial assistance per job, in the form of a property tax rebate,
equals approximately $26,000 per full-time position). The actual amount of assistance per job
depends upon the actual amount of added taxable property value to the site.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Every applicant should provide average hourly wages for all new and existing jobs which
meet or exceed the average county wage rate by industry. Ninety percent of the project
positions should have a wage greater than the federal poverty wage rate for Iowa City (30%
of median income for a four person household in Iowa City). Under special circumstances,
consideration will be given to those companies who cannot meet this requirement.
See "Quality of Jobs to be Created" section. Twenty-five of all of the positions (new and existing)
fall below the federal poverty wage rate for Iowa City ($9.06/hour), which means 11.5% of the
positions receive a wage below the poverty wage rate while 88.5% of the positions receive a wage
at least $2.24 above the poverty wage rate.
Applicant must have a consistent pattern of compliance with the law and the spirit of the
law, including environmental regulations, occupational safety and health laws, fair labor
standards, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, in
order to be eligible for financial assistance.
In response to the Question 6.2, the business has responded that it has not been cited or
convicted of any federal or state laws or regulations within the last five years (including
environmental regulations, Occupational Safety and Health laws, Fair Labor Standards, the
National Labor Relations Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act).
Staff is still in the process of completing its review of public legal database sources in order to
provide comment on the financial assistance eligibility guideline regarding if the company has a
consistent pattern of compliance with the law and the spirit of the law. This delay is a result of
staff workloads, rather than the applicant and its application. The findings of staff's review will be
presented at the CounciFs July 20, 2001 work session.
Applicant must demonstrate the following in order to be eligible for financial assistance:
· the feasibility of the business venture; Project appears feasible.
· the reliability of the job creation and financial estimates; Estimates appear reliable.
· the creditworthiness of the business; Credit worthiness appears high.
· that the project would not occur without city financial assistance. The applicant states in
question 2.2:
The nature of the request, tax increment financing property tax rebate, is only available through
the city. The nature of the tax rebate is to reduce the rental cost of the property and to support
the efforts to expand staff in the area. Without the tax rebate, it is unlikely that the project will
proceed in Iowa City. Seabury & Smith has another large location in West Des Moines, as well
as smaller locations in St. Louis and Tulsa, where Marsh Advantage America would look to
expand.
A contract will be executed for any financial assistance awarded. Applicant will be required
to repay all, or a prorated share, of the amount of the financial assistance awarded if the
applicant does not fulfill the obligations of the contract.
The company acknowledges that it will be required to enter into an agreement regarding the job
creation and property tax rebate. (Question 3.6)

the east.
Upon completion, Marsh Advantage America will vacate its 17,500 square foot leased facility
at Lot 20 Northgate Corporate Park as well as approximately 12,500 square foot of other

employee base by approximately 17% in within a two year period following occupancy.
1.2. Provide a description and history of business:
Marsh Advantage America is a service of Seabury & Smith, a Marsh & McLennan Company,
Inc. In Iowa City, Marsh Advantage America has had a continuous presence sinca 1963,
when it was started as Riepe, Buchanan, and Piper. It was acquired by Marsh & McLennan
in 1973, and became Seabury & Smith in 1990. Marsh Advantage America sells and
administers employee benefit and commercial property casualty programs for employers.
The Iowa City office is the largest office within Marsh Advantage America's National
Administration Center which bills and remits premium, processes enrollment forms, pays
claims, and provides customer service for its clients. As an administrator, Marsh Advantage
America provides many of the services that an insurance company provides, except Marsh
Advantage America does not assume the insurance risk.

County facility or replace operations or jobs currently being provided by another Iowa City or
Johnson County company? If yes, please indicate the facility(s) and/or company(s) affected.
This building will consolidate Marsh Advantage America operations currently in three leased
locations: 2615 Northgate Drive, 321 E Washington Street and 1820 Boyrum Street.
1.7. What date will the project begin? Estimated 1 September 2001
Be completed? Estimated 1 July 2002
1.8. Has any part of the project been started? If yes, please describe.

Section 2: Financial Contributions to the Proposed Project
2.1. What type and amount of financial assistance are you requesting from the City (for example,
grant, forgivable loan, loan, property tax exemption, tax increment financing rebate, etc.)?
Marsh Advantage America is requesting "Tax increment financing property tax rebate". The
request is for a 10 year declining percentage, with 100% in year one, declining 10% each
successive year on the increased assessed value of the property due to the building. Based
on the projected cost of improvements, we estimate the property tax rebate to be
$781,200.00.
2.1a. If Community Development Block Grant Funds are being requested, please describe how
the proposed project addresses the priorities, strategies, and goals cited in CITY STEPS
2001-2006.
NA
2.2. Explain why assistance is needed from the City, and why it cannot be obtained
elsewhere. (Specific supporting documentation evidenced by cash flow statements,
income statements, etc., is requested.) If the City did not provide financial assistance,
could the project proceed?
The nature of the request, tax increment financing property tax rebate, is only available
through the city. The nature of the tax rebate is to reduce the rental cost of the property
and to support the efforts to expand staff in the area. Without the tax rebate, it is unlikely
that the project will proceed in Iowa City. Seabury & Smith has another large location in
West Des Moines, as well as smaller locations in St. Louis and Tulsa, where Marsh
Advantage America would look to expand. Currently, the West Des Moines location has
enough excess space under lease to meet our projected growth needs.
2.3. In what form is the business contribution to the project? Please explain clearly (for
example, sale of stock, equity investments, subordinated debt, etc.).
Marsh Advantage America will lease the space. Under the triple net lease arrangement,
Marsh Advantage America will be responsible for payment of the property taxes.
2.4. Identify all agencies or institutions involved in the project (financial and otherwise) and
what their involvement is:
Marsh Advantage America, a service of Seabury & Smith
Southgate Development
Harry Wolf
City of Iowa City
2.5. What type and amount of security will the assisted business provide the City? If no
security is offered, an explanation must be provided. Note: as a general rule, for those
businesses not publicly traded, personal guarantees are required in addition to other
pledged business assets.
Mortgage $ What seniority or position?
Lien on $ What seniority or position?
Personal guarantee $
Other $
None (if none, please explain)
Given that a tax increment financing property tax rebate is requested, security is not
required.

Note: Every applicant should provide average hourly wages for all new and existing jobs
which meet or exceed the average county wage rate by industry. Ninety percant of the
project positions should have a wage greater than the federal poverty wage rate for Iowa
City (30% of median income for a four person household in Iowa City). Under special
cimumstances, consideration will be given to those companies who cannot meet this
requirement. (Contact the Economic Development Coordinator at the City for current
figures.) The average hourly wage for the "Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate" sector is
$13.75. Marsh Advantage America is projecting to be on average $2.20/hr lower in its new
hire area. In addition to salary, Marsh Advantage America provides a comprehensive,
employer funded benefit program (see 3.9 below). In addition, overtime compensation is not
included in our figure even though the new positions (other than the IT positions) will be
eligible for overtime compensation. Also, the jobs being created with this expansion are
primarily administrative positions, not sales positions that tend to have higher compensation.
As mentioned in the answer to 4.3, Marsh Advantage America does not have Johnson
County competitors, therefore there are not a large number of insurance administrative
positions within the county to compare the hourly rate.
The part time employees listed (new and retained) are contingent part time employees
(generally employed less than one year).They are primarily students who work as clerks
handling filing and copying needs.
Marsh Advantage America acknowledges that it will be required to enter into an agreement
regarding the job creation in relation to the tax rebate.
3.7. Will any of the current employees lose their jobs if the project does not proceed? If yes, how
many? Explain why:
3.8. Please describe the types of worker safety programs that would be available for your
employees.
We have disaster safety drills, provide CPR training, provide cost free health assessments
(through Mercy Hospital, Iowa City).
3.9. Does the business provide standard medical and dental insurance for full-time employees? If
so, what percentage of the standard medical and dental insurance package expense does
the company provide?
Marsh Advantage America funds 95% of the single medical and dental coverage and 95% of
the family medical and dental coverage. In addition, Marsh Advantage America offers its
colleagues additional employee benefits that can be provided to you for review upon request.
Section 4: Economic Impact
4.1. Please document how much of your operating expenditures (raw materials, supportive
services, machinery, equipment, and labor) will be spent within Johnson County.
Marsh Advantage America estimates that approximately 75% of its operating expenditures
will be spent within Johnson County.
4.2. What Johnson County companies do you expect to sell to that currently buy from
non-eastern Iowa companies? What percentage of your sales will fall into this category?
Our expansion will not focus on growth from additional sales to Eastern Iowa companies.
The growth in Marsh Advantage America's operation will take place through national growth
in our operations.
4.3. What other Johnson County companies could be considered to be your competitors?
Marsh Advantage America does not have Johnson County competitors. There are
competitors in the state of Iowa, including Holmes-Murphy, Des Moines and Cedar Rapids;
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Iowa, Des Moines; TrueNorth, Cedar Rapids; AON, Cedar Rapids.
GElCO, a national insurance company with local operations, is not a competitor since it
serves a different market segment than Marsh Advantage America.
4.4. How will this project benefit the City/County?
The City/County will benefit from the employee growth of a long term Iowa City business,
both in terms of increased wages to existing employees and new hires. The projected two
year employee growth of 17% will result in additional payroll of $913,750.00 In addition, the
new construction will utilize the services of local businesses. In the long term, the city/county
will benefit from the increase in tax base from a new $5,650,000 building and the increase in
dollars spent by our business and its employees into the local economy.
4.5 How will this project grow the property tax base of Iowa City?
Marsh Advantage America is increasing the square foot that it will lease in Iowa City by
approximately 54%. This will be accomplished by constructing a new building that will be
subject to property taxes. The nature of the requested assistance, tax increment financing
property tax rebate with a 10 year declining percentage, provides for additional property
tax revenue after the first year and assures that as much tax will be collected as rebated
over the10 year period.
4.6 Beyond the present project, what future growth potential is there for the Iowa City
operation?
Marsh Advantage America has planned this project in two phases. First is the construction
of the 46,263 square foot building. The second phase is the option to add an additional
20,000 square foot to the building during the term of the lease (10 years). If growth
continues, and the 20,000 square foot is added, it would allow approximately 80 new
employees to be added to Marsh Advantage America's payroll.
Section 5: Environmental Impact
5.1. Please describe the energy and resource efficiency programs, waste reduction, waste
exchange, and recycling programs at your Iowa City operation.
We recycle approximately 6.75 ton of paper products annually through City Carton in Iowa
5.2. Do you use recycled materials in the production of any products or through the provision of
any services at your facility? If so, please describe.
We use recycled paper for much of our copy paper.
5.3. Will you be treating, transporting, storing, and disposing above ground, on or about your
business premises, in tanks or otherwise, for any length of time or for any purpose:
petroleum products, agricultural or other chemicals, waste oil or other liquid waste, or any
other inflammable, corrosive, reactive, or explosive liquid or gas? If yes, please specify.
Our computer disaster recovery plan includes a gas or diesel generator located on the
premises in the event of loss of electricity.
5.4. Will the Iowa City operation develop renewable energy resources or products that conserve
energy? If so, please describe.

Explanation/other comments:
Marsh Advantage America utilizes independent contractors (teleprocossors) within the
Iowa City and Johnson County area. We currently use 23 individuals in our operations. We
anticipate increasing the number of contractors with the expansion of the business. These
individuals are not in lieu of employees, but in addition to new employees. We estimate
adding 4 or 5 of these contractors during the first two years of the expansion.
These individuals work in conjunction with our employees in our administrative processes.
Some of these individuals are former employees of Marsh Advantage America. The use of
teleprocessors allows Marsh Advantage America to benefit from the skills and talents of
individuals in Johnson County who would otherwise not be available to our company as
employees. These are individuals who are seeking the benefits of self employment, such
as flexible work hours offered through this arrangement.

MEMORANDUM
Date: July 26, 2001
To: City Council
From: David Schoon, Economic Development Coordinator
Re: Owens-Brockway Plastic Products Application for TIF Properly Tax Rebate
Owens-Brockway Plastic Products requests that the City grant a five-year one hundred percent
tax increment financing (TIF) property tax rebate for a new facility it plans for the Scott-Six
Industrial Park. Owens-Brockway is planning to build a manufacturing facility in Iowa City, and
its decision to locate here will be influenced by the financial assistance provided by the TIF
property tax rebate.
The Project
Owens-Brockway Plastic Products is a subsidiary of Owens-Illinois. Owens-Illinois is a
worldwide manufacturer of glass and plastic containers. Plastic packaging products produced
by Owens-Illinois include containers, closures, and prescription containers.
The Iowa City plant will be pad of the plastic container business, which currently operates 20
domestic manufacturing facilities and utilizes a wide variety of plastic materials and molding
processes. The Iowa City facility will produce and manufacture plastic bottles for Procter &
Gamble and other plastic products. The proposed project will be a 64,000 square foot built-to-
suit plant/warehouse production facility to be located in the Scott-Six Industrial Park. The
following highlights the proposed project.
· Total Capital Investment $11.7.million - Total
$3.48 million - 64,000 square foot building
$1.17 million - Land cost and site preparation
$6.60 million - Machinery & Equipment
$457,000 - Furniture & fixtures
· Jobs New Positions & Average Hourly Wage
o;. 30 Full-time positions at $13.43/hr
· Total Annual Income Year 1 - $629,000 Year 2 - $837,900
Attached you will find the company's application for funding, which provides further information
on the project.
Public Financial Incentives
As previously stated, Owens-Brockway requests that the City grant a five-year one hundred
percent tax increment financing (TIF) property tax rebate for its new site. The actual property
tax rebate will apply only to the added value to the site, both in terms of building value and land
value. Based on a $3.48 million building and current tax rates, Owens-Brockway would save
approximately $522,300 in property taxes over the five-year period. After the five year period,
Owens-Brockway will annually pay approximately $115,200 in property taxes (all taxing
districts).
Financial Assistance Guidelines
Attached you will find a copy of the City's financial assistance guidelines with statements
indicating how the characteristics of the Owens-Brockway project compare with these
guidelines. Based on this comparison, staff concludes that the characteristics of the Owens-
Brockway project are generally consistent with the City's guidelines.
Staff is still in the process of completing its review of public legal database sources in order to
provide comment on the financial assistance eligibility guideline regarding if the company has a
consistent pattern of compliance with the law and the spirit of the law. This delay is a result of staff
workloads, rather than the applicant and its application. The findings of staff's review will be
presented at the Council's July 20, 2001 work session.
Based upon the rest of the financial assistance guidelines and assuming that staff's review
shows the company has a consistent pattern of complying with the law and the spirit of the law,
staff recommends that the Council adopt the resolution approving a five-year 100% TIF property
tax rebate to assist Owens-Brockway with a new facility in Iowa City..
OWENS-BROCKWAY
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES
PRIVATE FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION AS COMPARED TO PUBLIC ASSISTANCE

The business' contribution to the project is approximately 95% of the proiect costs (this does
not include operating expenses) (Questions 2.6 & 2.7)

The business is requesting a five-year one hundred percent TIF property tax rebate. After the
five-year period, the business will pay 100% of its property tax obligation to local property tax
jurisdictions.
°:° A lower amount of City financial assistance per job.
The application indicates the creation of 30 jobs. Based on this job creation number, the City's
financial assistance per job equals approximately $17,410 job in the form of a property tax
rebate. The actual amount of assistance per job depends upon the actual amount of added
taxable property value to the site.
CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
PROGRAM/ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICIES

approximately $13.75, for private business it is $11.00, and for the manufacturing sector it is
$16.05. Owens-Brockway's average hourly wage is approximately $2.60 below, or 84% of, the
average hourly wage for the manufacturing sector in Johnson County. It should be noted that
the average wage figure for the County is calculated using total wages, which also includes
overtime pay, shift-differential pay, and bonus pay. In addition, the wages include all

the Johnson County labor force is employed in the manufacturing sector, while nearly 44% of
the labor force is employed in the government sector and the 49% in the non-manufacturing
sector. The creation of 30 positions at Owens-Brockway will further help diversity the Johnson
County economy.
o:o Potential for future growth of industry;
Growth is planned in two areas: 1) additional business with Procter & Gamble in other product
lines and 2) develop other business with Midwest companies that need plastic containers. The

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Every applicant should provide average hourly wages for all new and existing jobs which
meet or exceed the average county wage rate by industry. Ninety percent of the project
positions should have a wage greater than the federal poverty wage rate for Iowa City (30%
of median income for a four person household in Iowa City). Under special circumstances,
consideration will be given to those companies who cannot meet this requirement.
See "Quality of Jobs to be Created" section. Eight of all of the positions (new and existing) pay
$9.00/hour, which is near the federal poverty wage rate for Iowa City of $9.06/hour. This means
27% of all positions receive a wage near the poverty wage rate. The remaining 73% receive a
wage of at least $1.36 above the poverty wage rate, and on average these positions (excluding the
plant manager's salary) receive a wage of approximately $4.85 above the poverty wage rate.
Applicant must have a consistent pattern of compliance with the law and the spirit of the
law, including environmental regulations, occupational safety and health laws, fair labor
standards, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, in
order to be eligible for financial assistance.
Staff is still in the process of completing its review of public legal database sources in order to
provide comment on the financial assistance eligibility guideline regarding if the company has a
consistent pattern of compliance with the law and the spidt of the law. This delay is a result of
staff workloads, rather than the applicant and its application. The findings of staff's review will be
presented at the Council's July 20, 2001 work session.
Applicant must demonstrate the following in order to be eligible for financial assistance:
· the feasibility of the business venture; Project appears feasible.
· the reliability of the job creation and financial estimates; Estimates appear reliable.
· the creditworthiness of the business; Credit worthiness appears high.
· that the project would not occur without city financial assistance. The applicant states in
question 2.2:
Owens-Bmckway has other alternatives in terms of existing buildings in which Owens-Brockway
leases or owns out-of-state or to be built facilities considered on industrial sites in Ohio, Illinois,
and Indiana. The proposed project is a significant investment in new construction, rail, and
equipment. Production for this client is very competitive and its important that Iowa City assist in
the total financial package versus the option of locating this plant elsewhere.
A contract will be executed for any financial assistance awarded. Applicant will be required
to repay all, or a prorated share, of the amount of the financial assistance awarded if the
applicant does not fulfill the obligations of the contract.
Yes, Owens-Brockway will enter into an agreement which outlines obligations the company must
meet, and if those obligations are not met the TIF property tax rebate will not be granted. (Question

grant, forgivabie loan, loan, property tax exemption, tax increment financing rebate, etc.)?
Owens-Brockway is requesting a tax increment financing (TIF) property tax rebate. The
rebate would be 100%on the added value of improvements and would be for a period of 5
years. Thf~ estimated amount of the rebate would be approximately $522,300 (which is
approximately $150,000 per $1,000,000 of added building value, the increase in land value
due to development wilt also be eligible for the property tax rebate.)
2.1a. If Community Development Block Grant Funds are being requested, please describe how
the proposed project addresses the priorities, strategies, and goals cited in CITY STEPS
2001-2006.
NA
2.2. Explain why assistance is needed from the City, and why it cannot be obtained
elsewhere. (Specific supporting documentation evidenced by cash flow statements,
income statements, etc., is requested.) If the City did not provide financiat assistance,
could the project proceed?
Owens - Brockway has other alternatives in terms of existing buildings in which Owens-
Brockway leases or owns out of state or to be built facilities considered on industrial sites
in Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana. The proposed project is a significant investment in new
construction, rail, and equipment. Production for this client is very competitive and it is
important that Iowa City assist in the total financial package versus the option of locating
this plant elsewhere.
2.3. In what form is the business contribution to the project? Please explain clearly (for
example, sale of stock, equity investments, subordinated debt, etc.).
Build to own: Corporate appropriation financed by Owens-Brockway Plastic Products,

Owen.~Iliinois is respected for the manner in tvhlch it has conducted its business ore: the
nationally and internationally. Underlying this reputation are our Coml::mny's high standards oE hon-
esty, integrity., and erl'iics. These stancb'u'cls are irapor~.nt business arid socier. al assets, ant[ I am
demmin~d that thor will be
In addition, as a large multinational company, 04 is subjc~ to literally thousands of laws
reguh~ons which govern our business operations. These incrc~ingly complex miles also affe~ our
relationships with employees, custom, invesors, competitors. suppliers and govemm. erltal authorities.
In some cases, ignonnce of or failure to comply with these myriad laws and regul',tions c:m
zesult in employe~s being convicted of crimes that impose severe prison s~ntences and fines. For the
Company, noncompliance can result in the imposition of severe criminal penniries and in costly civil
litigation with the potential for massive damage awards. Fut'thermore, just being involved in such
pwceedings allvexes critically important financial and human resources from the serious business
challenges dut require our untillured fcxus and energies.
To help ,'are that our standards of integrity and awful conduct are maintained, I have
included in this Policy Manual this sumruns? of the key compB~nce issues from the Company, which
cor~d~utes our "Business Ethics' S~atemenr.
Some of th~ compUnnce makers disa~ed below, due r~ their comple~.~., also ~re covered in
separa~ corporate policy s~tements fullowm~ rigs section. The separate polic~ documents that ~oilow
~ statement are being published to ensure ~tat sll persons w whom the policies apply und~mnd
~heh' essevri~d~ and how to comply with them. I11 all c'~es, compliance by all employees with the
poUczes descril:~d herein will be ecpe~ecl ~nd required. Employees who violate these policies will be
subiec~ to discipline, including termination for c~usc.
Antitrust
O-I fully supports the purpose Of antitnust laws, which is to promote ~gorou$ and r'air competition
free from unre~Onable restraints. Such competition is the cornerstone of our free enterprise system.
Accordingly, all employees are charged with the responsibility for complying with both the letter and
the spirit of the antithat laws.
Cemin arnngements with competitors are 'per se' unlawful, meaning they carmot be de-
fended or justified in any way, no matter how seemingly meritorious the competitor's intentions. The
pdrlcipal and most serious form of such "per se' unawfu[ conduct is "price r-xing.' This is any
agreement or understanding besveen competitors with respect to the price, or any element of a price,
to be paid to or charged to third parties. Price fixing also includes any arrangement between competi-
tors which tends to stabilize prices. The Company simply will not tolerate price rhxing or any activity
that could be construed as price fLxing.
On the contnry, we must compete vigorously on the basis o1: price, quality and seaice, and
our conduct must be based on our independent and unilateral business iudgment. Any contact
involving competitors, customers or suppliers which suggests that any form of alegel agreement or
arrangement exists raust be avoided.

MEMORANDUM

To: City Council
From:--
Re: Economic Development Funds Descriptions and Eligibility Guidelines and
Economic Development Financial Assistance Program Application Forms
At its June 28, 2001, the Council Economic Development Committee, by a vote 3-0, voted to
recommend Council adoption of economic development financial assistance program descriptions
and eligibility guidelines as well as application forms for the following economic development
financial assistance tools:
1. CDBG Economic Development Fund
2. Council Economic Development Fund
3. Council Economic Development Capital Improvement Fund
4. Commercial/Industrial Tax Increment Financing
5. Commercial/Industrial Property Tax Exemption
6. Partial Industrial Property Tax Exemption
Attached are previous memos to the Council Economic Development Committee regarding these
issues and the most up-to-date program descriptions, eligibility guidelines and application forms for
each.
On the Council's agenda are three resolutions, one each to establish the CDBG Economic
Development Fund, the Council Economic Development Fund, and the Council Economic
Development Capital Improvement Fund. (Note: Items 4 through 6 are established through specific
state code requirements.) Each resolution establishes each fund, identifies the amount of funding
for each fund, how the funds will be allocated, and gives the Economic Development Committee the
authority to prepare and make available a program description and application forms for these funds.
If the Council adopts the resolution establishing the CDBG Economic Development Fund, the
Council will then want to direct the Housing and Community Development Commission to consider
the amount of federal funds to annually set-aside for this fund. At its June 28 meeting, the Council
Economic Development Committee recommended, by a vote of 3-0, that the Council annually set-
aside 9% of federal funds for economic development projects. If the Council directs the Housing and
Community Development Commission to take action on the Committee's recommendation, an
amendment to the CITY STEPS Plan would be required since the Plan currently identifies that 5% of
federal funds be allocated towards economic development projects.

MEMORANDUM
Date: June 19, 2001
To: Economic Development Committee
From: David Schoon, Economic Development Coordinator
Re: Agenda Items for June 21, 2001 Economic Development Committee Meeting
Economic Development Financial Assistance Program Descriptions and Eligibility
Guidelines and Draft Economic Development Financial Assistance Program Application
Forms.
Enclosed you will find basically the same packet of information as was in your May 17, 2001,
Committee packet. The information regarding the economic development financial assistance
program descriptions & eligibility guidelines is the same. The only change to the information
regarding the application forms for economic development financial assistance is the addition of
the application form for economic development support projects. As was highlighted in the May
11 memo, this form would be used for such projects as job training programs, microenterprise
development training project, or business development marketing programs for specific areas of
the community, such as downtown.
Annually Setting Aside a Percentage of CDBG Funds for Economic Development
Projects
During the previous CDBG allocation process, the Committee recommended that the Council
annually set aside a percentage of CDBG funds for economic development projects. At that
time the Committee did not recommend a specific percentage. Since we are in between funding
allocation periods, this would be an appropriate time to discuss and make a recommendation
regarding the percentage of funds that should be set aside.
The 2001-2006 CITY STEPS Plan targets 5% of federal community development funds (CDBG
and HOME funds combined) towards economic development activities. The previous CITY
STEPS plan targeted 9%. The percentage had been reduced in the current plan by the Housing
and Community Development Commission (HCDC) and the City Council due to the low level of
use during the previous five years. The following summarizes possible options and the steps
that would be required to achieve each option.
Option #1 - Council sets aside 5% of federal funds for economic development projects
(Approximately $84,500 in FY02)
To accomplish this option the City Council would need to adopt a resolution setting
aside 5% of federal funds for economic development projects, which would be
administered by the Economic Development Committee and the full City Council.
Option #2 - Council sets aside more than 5% of federal funds for economic development
projects (For example, 9% would have been approximately $152,000 in FY02).
Since allocating greater than 5% would be contrary to the 2001-2006 CITY STEPS
Plan, the City Council would need to amend the CITY STEPS Plan. Then the City
Council would need to adopt a resolution setting aside a specific percentage of
federal funds for economic development projects, which would be administered by
the Economic Development Committee and the full City Council.
As a reminder, during the most recent funding cycle HCDC and the City Council allocated
$125,000 for two economic development projects. The two projects included the Extend the
Dream Foundation project and a new business venture, Ruby's Pearl.

Date: May 11, 2001
To: Council Economic Development Committee d~~
From: David Schoon, Economic Development Coordinat
Re: Agenda Items for May 17 Economic Development Committee Meeting
Economic Development Financial Assistance Program Descriptions & Eligibility
Guidelines
Attached is a copy of the revised Economic Development Financial Assistance Program
Descriptions and Eligibility Guidelines. This revised copy includes changes suggested by
Economic Development Committee members at your last meeting. Descriptions are provided
for the following programs:
· CDBG Economic Development Fund
· Council Economic Development Fund
· Council Economic Development Capital Fund
· Commercial/Industrial Tax Increment Financing
· Commercial/Industrial Properly Tax Exemption
· Partial Industrial Properly Tax Exemption
As you once again review the document, keep in mind the goal of each program. As written,
some of the programs, such as the Council Economic Development Capital Improvement Fund,
target specific projects that expand the property tax base, while other programs, such as the
Council Economic Development Fund, target a number of different types of projects and
programs.
After you discussion on May 17, the Committee may be prepared to send a recommendation to
the full Council regarding these financial assistance program descriptions and eligibility
guidelines, or the Committee may choose to wait on sending a recommendation until you have
had a chance to thoroughly review the various application forms for economic development
financial assistance.
Application Forms for Economic Development Financial Assistance
Attached you will find copies of the following three application forms for economic development
financial assistance. The following briefly summarizes for which of the financial assistance
programs each of these applications forms would be used:
· Cityof Iowa City Application for Business FinancialAssistance
· This application form would be used when financial assistance is requested for a specific
business venture (it would not be used for a development proiect such as Sycamore
Mall):
· CDBG Economic Development Fund
· Council Economic Development Fund
· Council Economic Development Capital Fund
· Commercial/industrial Tax Increment Financing
· Commercial/Industrial Property Tax Exemption (Could potentially apply, but presently does not)
· Application for Property Tax Exemption Under the Central Business District Urban
Revitalization Plan
· Commercial/Industrial Property Tax Exemption
· App~cation for Industrial Property Tax Exemption
· Partial Industrial Property Tax Exemption
Staff is looking for your comments on the first application form, the City of Iowa City Application
for Business Financial Assistance. The other two application forms are based upon code of
Iowa requirements. As you review this form, remember that in order to evaluate a project based
upon the guidelines included with the project descriptions, we must ask a number of questions
to have the information on which to base a decision.
In addition to these three forms, an additional form will need to be prepared for those economic
development projects that are not directly for a business venture. This would include such items
as job training projects, microenterprise development training projects, or business development
marketing programs for specific areas of the community, such as downtown. At your next
meeting, staff will present such an application.
Policy Designating Additional Urban Renewal Areas (TIF Districts) and Urban
Revitalization Areas (Property Tax Exemption Areas)
As shown on the map in the Economic Development Financial Assistance Programs and Elibility
Guidelines document, the City presently has three urban renewal tax increment financing
districts for commercial and industrial proiects:
· Northgate Corporate Park
· Scott-Six Industrial Park
· Sycamore and First Avenue
The City also has designated two urban revitalization property tax exemption areas for
commercial projects:
· Central Business District
· Near Southside Commercial
In the near future, the City Council will consider the designation of a TIF district in the City-
University Urban Renewal Area (the City's original urban renewal area in the central business
district area). The purpose of this TIF district would be to provide financial assistance for a
development project on Parcel 64-1 a.
Soon the City may have a total of six TIF districts and property tax exemption areas for
commercial and industrial uses. When and in what areas to designate additional incentive
areas is at the Council's discretion. The Council may take a policy of reacting to requests for
additional areas or a more proactive, targeted approach to designating additional areas. This
would be an appropriate time with the adoption of financial assistance programs and
descriptions to have this discussion.

CDBG ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES
(Federal Requirements)
Eligible Activities
Eligible economic development activities include:
(a) The acquisition, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation or installation of commercial or
industrial buildings, structures, and other real property equipment and improvements, including
railroad spurs or similar extensions.
(b) The provision of assistance to a private for-profit business, including, but not limited to, grants,
loans, loan guarantees, interest supplements, technical assistance, and other forms of support, for
any activity where the assistance is appropriate to carry out an economic development project. In
selecting businesses to assist under this authority, the City shall minimize, to the extent
practicable, displacement of existing businesses and jobs in neighborhoods.
(c) Economic development services in connection with activities eligible under this section,
including, but not limited to, outreach efforts to market available forms of assistance; screening of
applicants; reviewing and underwriting applications for assistance; preparation of all necessary
agreements; management of assisted activities; and the screening, referral, and placement of
applicants for employment opportunities generated by CDBG-eligible economic development
activities, includthg the costs of providing necessary training for persons filling those positions.
Guidelines for Evaluating and Selecting Economic Development Projects.
These guidelines are composed of two components (1) standards for evaluating public benefit and (2)
guidelines for evaluating project costs and financial requirements. The standards for evaluating public
benefit are mandato~,, but the guidelines for evaluating projects costs and financial requirements are not
mandatory.
Standards for Evaluating Public Benefit.
Each activity must demonstrate that at least a minimum level of public benefit is obtained from the
expenditure of CDBG funds under the categories of eligibility governed by these guidelines.
I) Job creation & retention standards. An eligible job creation and retention activity is designed to
create or retain permanent jobs where at least 51 percent of the jobs, computed on a full-time
equivalent basis, involve the employment of low- and moderate-income persons. To qualify under
this paragraph, the activity must meet the following criteria:
a) For an activity that creates jobs, the recipient must document that at least 51 percent of the jobs
will be held by, or will be available to, low- and moderate-income persons.
b) For an activity that retains jobs, the recipient must document that the jobs would actually be lost
without the CDBG assistance and that either or both of the following conditions apply with
respect to at least 51 percent of the jobs at the time the CDBG assistance is provided:
i) The job is known to be held by a low- or moderate-income person; or
11 \\citynt\dschoon$\~les\eco dev strategy~cdbg\program guidelines 2doe
ii) The job can reasonably be expected to tum over within the following two years and that steps
will be taken to ensure that it will be filled by, or made available to, a low- or
moderate-income person upon turnover.
c) Jobs that are not held or filled by a low- or moderate-income person may be considered to be
available to low- and moderate-income persons for these purposes only if:
i) Special skills that can only be acquired with substantial training or work experience or
education beyond high school are not a prerequisite to fill such jobs, or the business agrees to
hire unqualified persons and provide training; and
ii) The recipient and the assisted business take actions to ensure that low- and moderate-income
persons receive first consideration for filling such jobs.
d) As a general rule, each assisted business shall be considered to be a separate activity for purposes
of determining whether the activity qualifies under this paragraph, except in certain cases
aggregating jobs from a number of separate activities is permissible. See City staff for details.
2) Standards for activities. Activities covered by these guidelines must, in the aggregate, either:
a) Create or retain at least one full-time equivalent, permanent job per $35,000 of CDBG funds used
(local practice has been to estimate potential financial assistance based on approximately $10,000
per created or retained job); or
b) Provide goods or services to residents of an area, such that the number of low- and
moderate-income persons residing in the areas served by the assisted businesses amounts to at
least one low- and moderate-income person per $350 of CDBG funds used.
3) Where CDBG assistance for an activity is limited to job training and placement and/or other
employment support services, the jobs assisted with CDBG funds shall be considered to be created or
retained jobs for the purpose of these guidelines.
4) Certain activities may be excluded from these standards. See City staff for exceptions.
5) Ineligible activities. Any activity subject to these guidelines which falls into one or more of the
following categories will be considered to provide insufficient public benefit, and therefore may under
no circumstances be assisted with CDBG funds:
a) The amount of CDBG assistance exceeds either of the following, as applicable:
i) $50,000 per full-time equivalent, permanent job created or retained; or
ii) $1,000 per low- and moderate-income person to which goods or services are provided by the
activity.
b) The activity consists of or includes any of the following:
i) General promotion of the community as a whole (as opposed to the promotion of specific
areas and programs);
ii) Assistance to professional sports teams;
iii) Assistance to privately-owned recreational facilities that serve a predominantly
higher-income clientele, where the recreational benefit to users or members clearly outweighs
employment or other benefits to low- and moderate-income persons;
iv) Acquisition of land for which the specific proposed use has not yet been identified; and
12 \\citynt\dschoon$\~les\eco dev strategy\cdbgXprogram guidelines 2.doc
v) Assistance to a for-profit business while that business or any other business owned by the
same person(s) or entity(ies) is the subject of unresolved findings of noncompliance relating
to previous CDBG assistance provided by the recipient.
Guidelines for Evaluatin~ Project Costs and Financial Requirements.
These guidelines are designed to provide a framework for financially underwriting and selecting
CDBG-assisted economic development projects which are financially viable and will make the most
effective use of the CDBG funds. These guidelines, also referred to as the underwriting guidelines, are to
ensure:
(1) That project costs are reasonable;
(2) That all sources of project financing are committed;
(3) That to the extent practicable, CDBG funds are not substituted for non-Federal financial
support;
(4) That the project is financially feasible;
(5) That to the extent practicable, the return on the owner's equity investment will not be
unreasonably high; and
(6) That to the extent practicable, CDBG funds are disbursed on a pro rata basis with other
finances provided to the project.
Documentation
The applicant and the City must maintain sufficient records to demonstrate the level of public benefit,
based on the above standards, that is actually achieved upon completion of the CDBG-assisted economic
development activity(ies) and how that compares to the level of such benefit anticipated when the CDBG
assistance was obligated.
Microenterprise Assistance
A microenterprise is a business that has five or fewer employees, one or more of whom owns the
enterprise. Microenterprise assistance can take the form of:
1) Providing credit, including, but not limited to, grants, loans, loan guarantees, and other forms of
financial support, for the establishment, stabilization, and expansion ofmicroenterprises;
2) Providing technical assistance, advice, and business support services to owners of microenterprises
and persons developing microenterprises; and
3) Providing general support, including, but not limited to, peer support programs, counseling, childcare,
transportation, and other similar services, to owners of microenterprises and persons developing
microenterprises.
"Persons developing microenterprises" means such persons who have expressed interest and who are, or
after an initial screening process are expected to be, actively working toward developing businesses, each
of which is expected to be a microenterprise at the time it is formed.

Sarah Langenberg
Call to Order
Mayor Lehman called the meeting to order at 8:35AM
Approval of Minutes of April 25, 2001
Minutes for the April 25th meeting were approved as submitted.
Consideration of a Recommendation to the City Council Reclardin{:l Economic
Develol~ment Financial Assistance Proclram Descriptions and EliGibility Guidelines
Schoon briefly summarized the item and stated that the Committee had discussed this item at a
previous Committee meeting. In response to a suggestion from Vanderhoef, the Committee
agreed to change the wording on the CDBG Economic Development Fund description on page
2, so that it would read "streetscape improvements" rather than "downtown streetscape
improvements".
in response to a question from Vanderhoef regarding the wording of the "Eligibility Guidelines"
section of the Commercial/industrial Property Tax Exemption description sheet, Schoon stated
that the present qualifying areas (urban revitalization areas) have the same eligibility guidelines;
however, future urban revitalization areas may have different guidelines. If different types of
guidelines were established for new urban renewal areas, this description sheet would need to
change.
In response to a question from Vanderhoef regarding the "Low/Mod income Households" map
with the CDBG Economic Development Fund description sheet, Schoon stated that the 2000
Census income figures are not out by census tract, but once they are released an updated map
will be included. Until that time, the City will still use the 1990 Census information.
Lehman asked if the word retail under the "Eligibility Guidelines" section pertaining to the Partial
Industrial Property Tax Exemption should be used. Schoon stated that the guidelines are taken
directly from the State codes.
Recommendation to Council:
MINUTES -CITY COUNCIL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 2001 - 8:30 AM
CITY MANAGER'S CONFERENCE ROOM
Motion: Vanderhoef moved to recommend to the City Council approval of the Economic
Development Financial Assistance Program Descriptions and Eligibility Guidelines.
Wilburn second the motion. Motion carried by a vote of 3-0.
Consideration of a Recommendation to the City Council Reclardincl Economic
Development Financial Assistance Proclram Application Forms.
Schoon stated this is the first time the Committee has discussed the application forms as a
group. Schoon stated that the Business Financial Assistance Application Form was modeled
after the State CEBA application form (Community Economic Betterment Accounts), but this
form reflects the requirements to meet the City's financial assistance guidelines. The other
application form, Economic Development Support Projects Application, is for projects that foster
economic development but are not directly tied to a specific business. The last two application
forms are examples for urban revitalization area property tax exemptions and the partial
industrial property tax exemption. Lehman stated that the Business Financial Assistance
Application form and the Economic Development Support Projects Application form could be
adjusted in the future if needed. Vanderhoef suggested that the forms could include a
statement that would read that the City might request additional information.
Recommendation to Council:
Motion: Wilburn moved to recommend to the City Council approval of the Economic
Development Financial Assistance Program Application Forms, Vanderhoef second the
motion. Motion carried by a vote of 3-0.
Consideration of a Recommendation to the City Council Reclardincl Annually SettinQ
Aside a Percentaqe of CDBG Funds for Economic Development Proiects.
Schoon stated presently in the CITY STEPS Plan there is a target of 5% percent of the federal
dollars being made available for economic development activities. That percentage has recently
been reduced from 9% percent. There are two potential options, though they are not the only
available options. The first is to recommend to the Council that they set aside the 5% percent of
the federal funds given that is what is identified in CITY STEPS. The second option would be to
recommend a higher percentage. In recant discussions, the Committee discussed increasing it
back to 9%, which reflects what use to be in the City Step Plans.
Lehman stated that in earlier discussions it had been suggested to create a fund that could be
built up to a certain level and wondered if that could be possible with CDBG funds. Schoon
stated that when Steve Nasby was last at a Committee meeting this topic was discussed.
Nasby stated that only a certain percentage of federal dollars could be carried over from year to
year. Depending on the status of other projects awarded funds and how much would be
available in the economic development fund would impact how much could be carried over from
year to year. Lehman stated that if a meaningful contribution were to be made to someone who
needs economic assistance a larger sum many times would make it more appealing because of
the requirements of the program. Vanderhoef stated that too little funding could be a setup for
failure of the program. Vanderhoef indicated that she could support 10% of the federal funds
being set-aside for economic development projects.

THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 2001 - 8:30 AM
CITY MANAGER'S CONFERENCE ROOM
Recommendation to Council:
Motion: Wilburn moved to recommend to the City Council that the City Council annually
set-aside 9% of federal funds for economic development projects. Vanderhoef second
the motion. Motion carried by a vote of 3-0.
Update - Business Outreach Proclram - Major Employer Visits.
Vanderhoef reported that she visited Goodwill and received some very positive feedback on
how the City has worked with them on the stoplight and crosswalk projects. Atkins stated that
many people did not have any knowledge that it was CDBG monies that helped in the
construction of the new Goodwill parking lot. Lehman stated that he would like a memo to the
Council in regards to the Chesapeake Display and Packaging Company and the positive
comments made by the plant manager of his working with City staff to get his building open and
the business operating.

RE: Oakland Cemetery
You will note that two resolutions to adopt cemetery fees and regulations are on the
agenda for your July 31st meeting. In view of recent comments and questions, I thought a
memo would be in order to bring you up to date with regard to what we have been doing
at the cemetery to accommodate our citizens.
For a variety of reasons, it has certainly taken longer than we hoped to open the newly
expanded section of the cemetery. Because of the various delays, we made a decision
several weeks ago to do something we have never done before... we allowed people to
reserve lots and columbarium niches in the new section even though they are not allowed
to actually purchase them until the new regulations are adopted. At this time, we have
reserved 59 lots and 1 niche for future purchase. Beyond this we made the decision to
allow for recent burials to be disinterred and transferred to the new section, at no
additional expense; three people, the first being last March, have requested this. More
recently, we decided to allow immediate need burials in the new section; local funeral
homes were advised of this, but to date we have received no such requests.
While we certainly regret any inconvenience this may have caused, we have been very
flexible, and doing our best to be accommodating. I might add that all parties directly
involved have been most amicable.
Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

OAKLAND CEMETERY REGULATIONS
Purchase of Lots
Persons desiring to purchase a lot or niche in Oakland Cemetery are referred to the
cemetery staff. Following the selection of a lot or niche, the prospective purchaser will be given
a lot/niche order, which is to be taken to the Finance Department in the Civic Center along with
full payment. The transaction will be receipted and a deed will be prepared by the City Clerk
and mailed to the purchaser.
Cemetery deeds will be placed only in the name(s) of a living person(s), except in the
case of a single space purchased by the estate of the deceased when there are no living relatives.
At the time of need, the cemetery must be fully paid prior to the opening of the grave or niche.
Ownershin Rights
The term "lot owner" or "ownership" shall be defined as the fight to use a lot or niche, or
part of a lot, as purchased from the City for burial purposes only, and under the existing and
subsequent rules and regulations as prescribed by the City for such use.
Lots or fractional lots, for which the City has issued lot deeds, will not thereafter be
divided except by consent of the City. All lots and niches are exempt from taxation and cannot
be seized for debt (except those owed to the Cemetery) nor can they be mortgaged.
The City shall have the right to assume, at all times, that the lot/niche owner acquired the
lot/niche for the interment of herself/himself and family members. Unless otherwise directed in
writing and filed with the City Clerk by the owner, devisees, or heirs, the City will permit the
interment of family members at the request of any interested person upon the proof of eligibility
for burial as follows:
a. The surviving spouse of the loftniche owner shall have the first right to interment
or to direct the right of interment.
b. When there is no surviving spouse, the devisees or heirs of the owner may, by
agreement in writing, determine who among them shall have the right of
interment or direction of interment, which agreement shall be notarized and filed
with the City Clerk.
c. In the event the owner, devisees, or heirs shall not have arranged for future
interment, then the devisees or heirs as the case may be, of such owner, shall have
the right to interment in order of their need.
The City Clerk shall notify the Cemetery personnel of any changes in deed recording.
All burial rights in Cemetery lots/niches purchased from the City occupy the same
position as real estate at the death of the owner. Only persons whose names appear on the
Cemetery records of the City will be recognized as owners or part owners of lots/niches. In the
case of the will, a certified copy of the will shall be delivered to the City Clerk before the City
will recognize the change in ownership. If the deceased lot/niche owner left no will, satisfactory
proof of descent shall be presented.
The title of a Cemetery lot/niche invests the owner the right to use such lot(s) for burial
purposes only, for themselves, their heirs, or any such person(s) as they may choose to admit,
provided such admission is flee of charge and without compensation and in accordance with the
Cemetery Rules and Regulations. Loftniche owners may not resell or transfer their lots/niches or
parts of lots to anyone whomsoever. Transfer may be made only to the owner's spouse or
children by the surrender of the original deed and issuance of a new deed by the City to the new
owners of lots/niches or parts of lots so transferred. Loftniche owners desiring to dispose of
lots/niche(s) or parts of lots, may upon surrender of the original deeds, sell the lots/niche(s) or
part of lots, back to the City for a price not to exceed the original purchase price of the loftniche.
Niches cannot be repurchased if any engraving has been done.
2
Certain older lots, no longer usable due to their small size, would have no resale value
and are best left open. Said lots could be used, with the permission of the owners or heirs
thereof, to further the Cemetery beautification plan.
Interment
The funeral director, or person(s) making arrangements, for the interment shall, as soon
as there is knowledge of a pending service, notify the Cemetery staff. Said notification,
including all information pertaining to the gravesite and additional information as required, shall
be provided by the funeral director or person(s) assuming responsibility for the service. Based
on the information given to them, Cemetery staff will locate the exact site and determine the
earliest possible time a service can be held. When definite information for locating the gravesite
is not available, the Cemetery staff will exercise its best judgment in making the location. The
Cemetery assumes no responsibility for any error in such a location.
If a burial permit is required by the Code of Iowa, Chapter 144.32, no burial will be
allowed until a burial permit is provided to the Cemetery staff.
A charge for opening and closing the grave or niche, as well as the sodding or seeding of
the gave, will be made at a current rate set by the City. The payment of said charge becomes the
responsibility of the individual(s) in charge of interment. The account becomes due upon receipt
of a statement issued by the City of Iowa City. Individuals who make the arrangements, if not a
ftmeral director, must make payment prior to the grave or niche opening.
Graves shall be dug by Cemetery staff and shall conform to all applicable state laws.
Only Cemetery staff shall open niches.
A member of the Cemetery staff shall be present at every interment or service.
3
The interment of bodies of persons who have died of a contagious disease shall be in
strict accordance with the roles of the State Board of Health.
If a permanent type of outer container is not used for the interment, a special charge will
be levied to cover the extra maintenance required. Said special charge is listed in the Schedule
of Rates and Charges. In areas of Oakland Cemetery established prior to January 1, 2000, the
minimum container used for the interment of an adult body shall be an enclosed container with a
bottom strong enough to support the weight of the body when lifting at each end. Adult-sized
interments made in areas established after January 1, 2000 require a permanent-type container of
concrete or other approved material.
The interment of more than one body in a single casket will not be allowed except in the
case of a parent and infant or two children interred at the same time. The limitation of numbers
of cremated remains allowed in one full body grave space purchased prior to July 1, 1991 is
regulated only by space. Full body adult graves purchased after June 30, 1991 are limited to a
maximum of four cremated remains each and only if planned in advance. In all cases, multiple
interments and/or cremated remains, marker regulations must be observed.
Interments requiring special consideration(s) of utilizing equipment not normally
available to the Cemetery staff could be provided upon request. Adequate time must be allowed
for preparation. Fees and charges must reflect the cost of the extra equipment, time and
materials. Such practices must be arranged by advance notification.
In addition to interment of cremated remains on family lots, there are two areas available
for the interment of single cremated remains and a colummbarium for the interment of single
cremated remains. Locations and size restrictions can be obtained from Cemetery staff.
Exceptions to allowing one cremated remains to a single space or niche will be made only in
case of a parent and infant or two children interred at the same time. Only one um may be
placed in a niche. Cremated remains must be interred or inumed and may not be distributed into
the atmosphere.
Single burial spaces for infants/babies are available in two areas - Babyland with 2' x 4'
spaces and Innocence with 2.5' x 4.5' spaces.
No interments of a body other than that of a human being will be permitted.
Should weather become a factor, or when several burials occur in a one (1) or two (2) day
period, the Cemetery staff shall schedule interments, working in close cooperation with the
funeral directors. To avoid conflict, it will be necessary to honor service communications from
the funeral directors according to the time received.
Whenever possible, interments will be scheduled to enter Oakland Cemetery no later than
3:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Interments that require work being done other than during

additional space that may be required shall be designated as burial ground for any soldier who
died in the service of his/her country and the same is hereby dedicated to all members of the

deceased or from other private sources, the City of Iowa City will bill the funeral director or
person(s) making arrangements for payment of services rendered by Oakland Cemetery. Said
billing shall ask that the City of Iowa City be paid for its service to the fullest amount or by not
less than 33 1/3% of all available funds. All available funds are the total funds available from
Federal agencies, State agencies, County agencies and other private sources.
Stone and Monument Work
Monument dealers and the purchasers are encouraged to contact the Cemetery office

however, all stone and monument work within Oakland Cemetery shall be subject to the
following regulations and requirements:
All monuments must either be flush with the ground or be at least four inches (4")
in height. The base for all-flush monuments or upright markers must correspond
as closely as possible to the contour of the existing soil surface. No monument
6
may be installed in such a fashion that it extends beyond the boundaries of the
designated lot or grave, or that will interfere with future grave openings or the
movement of the Cemetery maintenance equipment.
Monuments and/or foundations may not be wider than 65% of the width of the
space or spaces and may not be more than 24" from the front to back.
Monuments may not be larger than the base. By request, exceptions may be made
on larger lots in areas of the Cemetery that were established prior to 1974 or in
areas of the 2001 expansion that will not interfere with the opening of graves or
the movement of equipment.
Polished bases or monuments polished to the ground are not recommended, and
the City of Iowa City or its employees assume no liability for the actual damages
in the performance of normal maintenance operations.
The setting of monuments and the transportation of all tools, materials, etc.,
within the Cemetery grounds shall be subject to the supervision and control of the
Cemetery management. No unnecessary damage to the existing turf will be
allowed, and all debris is to be removed from the Cemetery except soil. Excess
soil must either be removed from the Cemetery or may be placed in the Cemetery
stockpile. It may not be used to fill in low areas or distributed on adjacent lots.
Heavy trucking will not be permitted within the Cemetery when, in the opinion of
the Cemetery management, such work might cause damage to the grounds or
driveways. Once begun, all monument and stone work is to be completed and any
accumulated debris is to be removed from the site within a seven-day period. All
work must be done during regular Cemetery hours of operation, Monday through
Friday, unless by special permission from the Cemetery management.
The local climate is such that marble is not recommended as a suitable material
for monument use. Granite is a much more durable stone. Bronze is an
acceptable material. Cemetery management must approve other material prior to
installation.
Only those lot pins set by the City of Iowa City are allowed in areas where
lots/spaces are pinned individually.

an application, and the approval of the City of Iowa City shall be obtained before any

any structure that is not considered to be safe, suitable, desirable or appropriate.

amount of not less than ten percent (10%) of the cost of the structure. Check is to be made
payable to the City of Iowa City and submitted to the Finance Department, and will be used by

mausoleums may be placed only on such lots considered to be appropriate for said purpose by
the Cemetery management.

MORANDUM
Date: July 30, 2001
From: i .
Re: The Ties that Bind - Con~
The CiW Council is being asked to execute the contact with the National Sculptors' Guild and
their ~tist, Jane DeDecker. ~is contact is substantially the same as ~e one approved by CiW
Co~cil on M~ch 5, 2001 for Jazz (also represented by the Nadonal Sculptors' Guild) except for
~o components:
· The minimum distance ~om Iowa CiW for public placement of the possible 10 editions of
~le Ties that Bind is 100 miles rather than 300 miles as a~eed upon for Jazz. The artist did
not care to res~ct the sale of the sculpt~e any f~her and the Public ~ Adviso~
Committee a~eed that they felt their suppo~ and the public support for the sculpture
outweighed the need to be as res~ictive.
The waffanW period for The Ties that Bind is I ye~ rather than 3 years for Jazz. This
decision is at the discretion of the aaist and Jane DeDecker does not provide a longer period.
With bronze sculpture, possible defects will show up fairly soon and long tern detedora~on
is usually minimal.
The sculpture will actually be completed ve~ soon after execution of the contact and placed in
storage by National Sculptors' Guild until the libra~ pad is available once the libra~ expansion
project is completed. We need to have the contact executed and majoriW of the payment made
to secure the quoted price and availabiliW of the sculpture.
I will be at your July 30, 2001 work session to answer any questions you might have.

The Ties that Bind
City Plaza Art Project
East Entrance to Pedestrian Mall
lowa City, Iowa
by
Thank you for selecting my work as one of three finalists for the City Plaza. After viewing
the site, I would like to propose "The Ties that Bind". This is a representati~nal piece,
depicting the interaction and spirit of human nature, It invites the viewer to participate
through action or
The intimate act of a father tying his son's show draws the viewer to the piece. Children in
particular are attracted to participate in the action. When children come into my studio,
I've even seen them put their arms around the father's neck. Simple gestures, like stopping
to tie a show, become the memories that bind us together.
Currently in progress at 110% life-size, this sculpture is 4'H 4'W 4'D and priced at
$35,000.00 (excluding shipping}.
1 would suggest placement of a tree near the sculpture for disbursement of heat so that
children will be able to play on the sculpture.
