25% of the local match for this project. The project would construct a separate
pedestrian bridge on widened piers on the Butler Bridge, allowing for separated
pedestrian and bicycle travel. Currently bicyclists and pedestrians must use the

Comment: In connection with the 28E Agreement between the City of Coralville, the City
of Iowa City and Southgate Development relating to the construction of Camp Cardinal
Boulevard, Southgate is conveying a parcel of land to the Iowa City Community School
District. The parcel of land to be conveyed has been severed from Iowa City and

REPAIR, AND STOP BOX REPAIR CHARGES AND DIRECTING THE CLERK TO
CERTIFY THE SAME TO THE JOHNSON COUNTY TREASURER FOR
COLLECTION IN THE SAME MANNER AS PROPERTY TAXES.
ITEM 18.
Comment: The City has the authority under Iowa Code S364.13B to assess the
nuisance abatement costs in the same manner as a property tax. This resolution
allows the City Clerk to certify to the Johnson County Treasurer the abatement cost to
be assessed against the property. This assessment is being pursued only after the City
took many steps to resolve the matter. The City notified the home owners to abate the
nuisance (for example, to remove snow from the sidewalk) and after the home owner
did not take action to abate the nuisance, the City abated the nuisance and billed the
owner. After being billed at least twice, these owners still have not paid the abatement
costs. The City has sent a letter to the home owner giving them notice that this
resolution would be on the agenda, a copy of which is attached to the resolution. No
interest will be charged if the owner pays within 30 days of the first required
publication. Attached as an exhibit to the resolution is a list of the properties that will
be assessed and the amount that will be assessed.
