Enclosed for your review before the meeting are: I. The Agenda. 2. The Proposed Budget. 3. Salary Survey. 4. A copy of the February 28,2005 minutes. 5. The 2005 Annual Report including the program division statement. There is an increase in the amount to be raised by the Assessment Expense Fund from last year's amount. The increase consists of: a. $13,190 b. $ 1,010 c. $ 750 d. $ 6,200 e. $ 1,300 f. $ 2,000 g. $10.000 $34,450 for a 4% COLA increase in salaries. for an increase in FICA. for an increase in IPERS. for an increase in postage, an alternate year expense. for an increase in printing, an alternate year expense. for an increase software maintenance. to transfer employee leave contingency from the Special Appraisers Fund. Total Increase This increase is offset by the following decreases: a. $ 600 for a decrease in health insurance due to increased employee contributions. $33,850 Net Increase The Assessment Expense Fund levy rate will increase from .22525 to .23246. The largest increase is for salaries, with a 4% cost ofliving increase. The cost ofliving for other local taxing bodies appears to be in the three to four percent range. The consumer price index is up 3.5 percent over the last year. The leave contingency fund was transferred from the Special Appraisers Fund to the Assessment Expense Fund to comply with new advice from the State Auditor's Office. The Special Appraiser's Fund is to be used only for appraisal related expenses and technology such as mappmg. 913 SOUTH DUBUQUE STREET . IOWA CITY IOWA 52240 TELEPHONE 319-356-6066 Health insurance costs are expected to remain the same for the upcoming year, while employee contributions will increase to twenty dollars per month for a family policy. Postage and printing were increased because 2007 will be a reassessment year and assessment rolls will be mailed to all property owners. Postage rates have also increased. The increase in software maintenance will pay for an archive module to store previous years' property record cards electronically on compact disc. The Special Appraisers Fund adds another $1500 to the car replacement fund. And the computer replacement fund was also replenished in the amount of $2500. These amounts are the same as last year. The total amount of the Special Appraisers fund was reduced substantially by the transfer of the leave contingency fund to the Assessment Expense Fund. Therefore the carryover of unspent funds from the previous year means we will not need to levy taxes in the Special Appraisers Fund. The total levy for the assessment expense fund and the special appraisers fund will decrease from .23765 to .23246. If you have any specific questions or wish to see any of the supporting documents for this budget, please feel free to phone me at the office at 356-6066 or at my home at 688-2661.

Issued December 31, 2005 The following report covers the activities of this office from January 1, 2005 to date of issue. VALUATIONS Since 2005 was a real estate revaluation year, there were increases in assessments to meet the statutory level as monitored by the Iowa Department of Revenue. Increases in assessments from revaluation were approximately 377 million dollars for residential property and 108 million dollars for commercial property. New construction also added approximately 39 million dollars to residential property and 12 million dollars to commercial property. The 727 residential deed sales for the first 11 months of 2005 give us a median ratio (assessed value vs sale price) of 91.47% as compared to 84.5% for the entire year of 2004. Factoring in the sixteen percent average residential increase in assessments for 2005 shows that the selling prices of homes have continued to rise. If this trend continues during 2006, an increase in assessments will be required again for 2007. Iowa City's overall level of assessment was once more confirmed by the Department of Revenue and Finance since Iowa City received no equalization orders for 2005. It should be kept in mind that when a jurisdiction is at the State mandated sales ratio level of 100%, a full one-half of home sales will be for less than the assessed value. Sales for less than the assessed value tend to result in appeals to the Board of Review. COURT CASES There were fifteen appeals to District Court in 2005. All were for commercial property and two have been dismissed at the request of the plaintiffs. The two 2004 cases have been settled. BOARD OF REVIEW The Board of Review was in session from May 1 through May 31, the day of adjournment. 208 protests were filed with 125 being upheld and 83 denied. The total value of real estate being protested was $230,645,540. The Board also reduced 95 properties on their own volition or at the request of the assessor. The Board allowed a total reduction of $22,128,260. 4 EQUITY VERSUS MARKET IN ASSESSMENT It is difficult to be both equitable among assessments and in tune with the market. Similar properties do not always sell for similar prices, so the market is not always equitable and some times a long way from it. Most assessors would lean toward equity if they could choose between the two. Our first priority is equity since it is not always possible to have every assessment match the selling price. Our statistics show that we are doing a good job in this regard. WEB PAGE The Iowa City Assessor's web page went online during the spring of 2001. Internet availability of comparable sales and comparable assessments has been very helpful to taxpayers concerned about the fairness of their assessments. Appraisers and Realtors have also been very complimentary about this service, commenting that it saves them considerable time and money since they can make copies of our property record cards without leaving their office. There have been nearly 500,000 hits on our web site since it went online. It can be viewed at www.iowacitv.iowaassessors.com . ROLLBACKS The residential rollback has gone down from 47.9642% for the current taxes to 45.9960% for next year's taxes. The rollback for commerc@1 property will change from the current 100% to 99.1509%. The League of Municipalities has been trying for several years to get legislation passed to stop the decrease in the residential tax base. Iowa City's residential tax base has not actually decreased because of our increase in market value and new construction. Nevertheless, the shift of the tax burden should be of concern. The tables on page 12 illustrate this shift. Commercial property has remained close to the same percentage of the total value, but is becoming a larger percentage of the taxable value when looking back over the years. 5 --_..~--_._-----~---_.-._.~--~--_._---_.-.._--_.__.....-_.__.~._.. NEW LEGISLATION MILITARY SERVICE PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION HF 374 Current and former members of the United States Reserves and Iowa National Guard who have served at least 20 years are eligible for the exemption. Former members of the armed forces of the United States who performed at least 3 consecutive years of military service, regardless of the time period, are now eligible for the exemption. PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION FOR NURSING FACILlTES HF 589 The assessor is not allowed to deny an exemption on the property of a nursing facility, as defined in Iowa Code section 135C.1 (13), which is exempt from income tax under section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and otherwise qualified, regardless of the fact that the property is occupied by private pay residents or residents for whom the cost of care is paid under Title XIX of the federal social security act. PROPERTY ASSESSMENT APPEAL BOARD HF 868 A statewide property assessment appeal board is established within the Iowa Department of Revenue beginning January 1, 2007. The board shall hear protests of decisions reached by the board of review on assessments or application of equalization orders. The taxpayer may elect to bypass the appeal board and proceed directly to district court. Decisions of the appeal board may be taken to district court within 20 days of the appeal board's decision. ASSESSSOR COMPLIANCE HF 868 Assessors are required to determine the value of property in accordance with rules adopted by the Iowa Department of Revenue and the forms and guidelines contained in the real property appraisal manual. The department may withhold up to 5% of the county's homestead credit reimbursement if the director determines that the assessor is not in compliance. The conference board may appeal the determination of the department to the state board of tax review. ASSESSOR APPOINTMENT I CONTINUING EDUCATION HF 413 The physical condition and reputation of a person applying for the position of assessor are removed from the Code as criteria the conference board can take into consideration in making the appointment. The conference board is required to notify the assessor, in writing, not less than 90 days prior to the expiration of the assessor's term of office if the board decides not to reappoint the assessor. If the conference board fails to timely notify the assessor that the decision has been made not to reappoint the assessor, the assessor shall be reappointed. LATE FILED CLAIMS FOR PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION HF 413 The board of supervisors may abate the taxes levied against property acquired by gift after the deadline for filing a claim for tax exemption if the property would have been exempt under section 427.1, subsections 8 or 9, had the organization filed a timely claim for exemption. EXEMPTION FROM CITY TAXES (ANNEXED PROPERTY) SF 78 The exemption is extended from 5 to 10 years with the previous exemption percentages remaining the same for 2 years each. 6 CONTINUING EDUCATION Continuing education is a requirement for the assessor and deputies for reappointment to their positions. Over a six-year term, assessors must complete one hundred-fifty hours of classroom instruction including at least ninety hours from courses requiring a test. Deputies must complete ninety hours of classroom instruction including at least sixty tested hours over their six-year terms. It is also good for other employees to attend some classes so they can update their skills and stay current with assessment practices.

APPRECIATION My staff and I would like to thank the Conference Board, the Board of Review, the City Attorney and her assistants, and the City Staff for their assistance, cooperation and confidence during the past year. I would also like to recognize and thank my staff at this time for their part in establishing and maintaining the professional standards of the office. Chief Deputy Carolyn Burke deserves special recognition upon her December 31,2005 retirement after 26 years of exemplary service. 7 2005 ABSTRACT OF ASSESSMENTS FOR IOWA CITY Value of Agricultural Land and Structures $ 1,785,931 Value of Residential Dwellings on Agricultural Realty 1,295,110 Value of Residential Lots and Buildings 2,642,786,683 Value of Commercial Lots and Buildings 1,038,950,930 Value of Industrial Lots and Buildings 65,878,350 Value of Industrial Machinery and Commercial Equipment as Real Estate o Actual Value of All Real Estate' $3,750,697,004 'All the above values are based on the 2005 abstract as reported to the Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance on July 1, 2005.

Maintain the web site information and make improvements to httu://www.iowacitv.iowaassessors.com based on input from the public. The site went on line February 15, 2001 and has nearly 500,000 hits since that time. 2. Review sales as they occur for all classes of property. Compare sales to the values set for the biennial reassessment for 2005. 3. Review selling price/assessment ratios by neighborhood, age, size, building type and other criteria to be established during the sales study. 4. Review land values of commercial and residential real estate. 5. Make any adjustments to assessed value as indicated by the sales review and land value review. 6. Continue a program of physical inspection of properties where selling price/assessment ratios fall outside acceptable standards. 7. Utilize digital imaging software to store historical data and make it more readily available to the public. 8. Continue to work with the Johnson County GIS Director to utilize our records in a GIS system. 16 PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS: The median sales ratio (median) is the middle sales ratio and a measure of the percent of our assessment to the actual sales prices. The coefficient of dispersion (C.O.D.) is a measure of assessment uniformity based on the degree to which individual sales ratios vary from the median sales ratio. The goal of the Iowa City Assessor is to keep this C.O.D. below 10. A C.O.D. of 10 is considered excellent and was attained in 2004 by only 6 of the 107 assessing jurisdictions in Iowa. The following table shows the median, C.O.D., and the number of deed sales for Iowa City Residential Property since the assessments went to the 100% level in 1975.

For brevity, only the top 10 are shown. Data is for 2004 sales which is the last complete year available. These tables show that Iowa City is still one of only a few jurisdictions in Iowa with a C.OD. of less than 10. The average sale price of a home in Iowa City is one of the highest in Iowa for 2003. Iowa City also has a large number of sales as could be expected by its size and mobile population.

An index of 100.00 indicates no difference in assessments of high value properties in comparison to low value properties based upon that year's sales. An index over 100 indicates that high value properties are under assessed in relation to low value properties. As you can see in the following table, Iowa City's regression index is still close to the ideal 100.00 level. Again, for brevity, only the top 20 are shown.

Estimate DIVISION ANALYSIS: While the program division statement is on the fiscal year, the remainder of the annual report is based on the assessment year, which is the calendar year. The annual report has more meaning when based on the assessment year, since the state equalization orders come in a different fiscal year than the biennial reappraisal which the orders are to equalize. 21 _._--_._._._-~----~--_._--_.---_.~- NOTICE THE CITY CONFERENCE BOARD is CONSiDERING APPOINTMENT TO THE FOLLOWING BOARD: BOARD OF REVIEW One vacancy - Six-Year Term January 1,2006 - December 31,2011 It is the duty of members of the Board of Review to equalize assessments by raising or lowering the individual assessments of real property, including new buildings, personal property or monies and credits made by the Assessor; to add to the assessed rolls any taxable property which has been omitted by the Assessor.

We appreciate your input and willingness to help with this project. At this time, the Downtown Association would like to request that the City of Iowa City take over the Holiday Lighting for the CB-10 District. Due to lack of volunteers, space and finances, the Downtown Association is not able to continue with this project. We will greatly appreciate it if the City will take on the responsibility of wrapping the tree trunks, hanging some type of wreath or banner on the light poles and maintaining the lights during the holiday season. The Downtown Association will work with members of the district to enhance the lighting and decorations that the City can provide. We will also promote the City's role in the lighting project to our members and the public. Steve, please let us know if the City of Iowa City and the City Council Members are willing to take on this project. Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Once you have made your decision, please notify our Executive Director, Lisa Barnes. Lisa can be reached via phone at 354-0863 or through e-mail at dtaiowacitv@vahoo.com.

Iowa 52240-1826 (319) 356-5000 (J 19) 356-5009 FAX www.lcgov.org December 19, 2005 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Iowa City To the Mayor and City Council: The FY07 Budget shows continued growth in our property values as well as another year with over $100,000,000 in new construction permit activity. However, the offsetting residential rollback and the impact of the earlier losses in State aid have a profound effect on our ability to provide public services within our General Fund. The ability to expand and sustain any of these General Fund-financed services is severely limited. Department Directors have proposed expanded service levels in selected areas as well as reestablishing the previous loss of personnel that followed the State financial aid reduction in Fiscal Year 05. The proposals included expanded hours at the library, additional hours at the Senior Center, additional police and emergency communication personnel, staffing for a fourth fire station, an. expanded summer program for the arts, etc. In balancing the budget, these issues were all considered and in virtually every instance rejected due to the cost associated. This does not reflect upon the merit of these proposals, but it is simply a financial fact of life that we are unable to expand and sustain services with an ever-declining residential rollback as well as a propensity for the state legislature to reduce, if not eliminate, State aid programs. The budget as proposed does have a number of new initiatives in the Capital Improvement Program (FY06-FY10). Some of the new capital projects include Brookland Park; renovation of Fire Station #2; Aviation Commerce Park South; Lower Muscatine near Kirkwood College; Dubuque/Church left tum; Lower West Brand Road; GilbertlHwy 6; ahd Park Road Bridge. A key to our community's future prosperity is very much dependent on continued capital investment for our local economy, utilities, transportation systems and quality of life projects. Sincerely, Stephe J. Atkins City Manager - 1 - FINANCIAL PLAN OVERVIEW This Three-Year Financial Plan is for fiscal years FY2007 through FY2009, which begin July 1 and end June 30. The Financial Plan includes our one-year annual budget, required by Iowa Code, and provides two projection years as a planning tool. The purpose of the overview is to disclose the basis on which the financial plan has been prepared. The role of a govemmenfs operating budget differs from that of a private business. Budgets are an important internal planning tool for business, but they also play an external role for governmental entities. A multi-year financial plan informs parties inside and outside government of future objectives and provision of services to its constituents. The three-year plan also permits a more comprehensive review of the City's financial condition, allowing analysis of current and future needs and requirements. During preparation of the plan, careful review is made of property tax levy rates, utility and user fee requirements, ending cash balances by fund, debt service obligations, bond financing needs, capital outlay for equipment purchases, and major capital improvement projects. This document contains operating budgets for the govemmental funds: general, special revenue, debt service, capital project and permanent funds. It also includes business type funds and intemal service funds. Budgets are summarized by major revenue and expenditure categories within each division. A separate mu~i-year Capital Improvements Program (CIP) show budgeted revenue and expenditures for FY2006 through FY2010. The cash basis of accounting has been used for preparation of this document. Revenues are recorded when received, not necessarily when they are eamed, and expenditures are recorded when paid instead of when they are incurred. The Finance Administration Division monitors actual receipts and expenditures carefully on a line-item basis. Department directors are ultimately responsible for ensuring that the divisions under their control stay within budget. -2 - Citizens of Iowa City Key' ~ -- Appointed Elected By Mayor & Officials Council City Council & Mayor I i I Directorl Manager Appointed Airport Boards & Library Employed by By City Commission ~I~ City Ci~ Board of Board or Manager Commissions Attorney Clerk Manager Trustees c:~mis:/ i '--~-- [ Airport Library Manager , Director '" , Public Works J -~ Assistant Finance Fire Housing & Parking Parks & Planning & Senior centel City Director Chief Inspection & Recreation Community Pollee Manager Services Transit Director Director Development Chief Director Coordinator Director Director Broadband Administration AdminJ Admin.

A. PROPERTY TAX Property tax is the single largest revenue source for the City General Fund, accounting for over 65% of FY2007 General Fund revenues. Taxable property in Iowa is categorized into distinct classes, namely residential, commercial, industrial, utilities, or agricultural with each class having different procedures for assessing value for taxing purposes. To reduce the opportunity for dramatic tax shifts between the classes from year to year, a statutory limit of 4% a year has been imposed commonly called the growth limitation. For example, if statewide growth in anyone class of property in any year exceeds 4%, the taxable value is reduced by a percentage so that growth of taxable valuation is at the 4% ceiling. This percentage is called the 'rollback". Furthermore, residential property is subject to an additional restriction in which the statewide growth in residential property cannot exceed the growth in agricultural property. In other words, the taxable growth of residential property is either 4% or equal to the growth in agricultural property, whichever is lower. The following graph illustrates the impact of the rollback on taxable valuation. In FY98 the residential rollback exempted $569 million or 41% of Iowa City's assessed valuation. In FY2007 the residential rollback will exempt $1.428 billion or 54% of the assessed valuation.

However, assessed residential valuation reduced by the rollback factor has been increasing at a greater percentage. This trend along with reductions in state funding impairs the ability of local governments to provide necessary services. ..c on Fiscal V.lr 2007 100% Assessment $2,644,769,911 $1,236,676,967 State rollback 0.45996 Less: Exemptions (3,463,240) Less Gas & Electric (43.476,704) Taxable AssessedValue-for Debt Levy $1,216,239,669 $1,150,035,144 $ (46,939,944) Less TIF Increment - available for debt only (78,355,832) Taxable Assessed Value - Re9ular Levies 2,240,979,037 -State rolled back Commercial and Railroads to 99.1509% for this year, Other Utilities and Indusbial are at 100%.

This levy cannot exceed $8.10 per $1000 of taxable aBSesaed valuation per Slate law. The Library tax levy of $.27 was voted in by a majority of the residents in 1991. The initial levy was used to expand Library services and continues to maintain that level of service. The Transit levy of $.95 is a "generar' levy for transit operations which cannot exceed $.95 per $1,000 of taxable assessed valuation. The Tort Liability levy has no maximum levy and is based on estimated insurance premiums and claim losses within the self-insured retention. The City's self-insured retention amount is $500,000 per occurrence. The Emergency levy of $.27 has been utilized since FY2001. The general levy must be at $8.10 before this levy can be used, but it is otherwise an unrestricted levy. The Employee Benefits property tax levy is used for the employer cost of those employees within the General Fund, and Includes the following items: . Health Insurance . LWelnsurance . Disability Insurance . . Worker's Compensation insurance premiums . Unemployment Compensation. . Social Security (FICA - 7.65%) . Iowa Public Employees Retirement System costs (IPERS - 5.75%) . Municipal Fire and Police Retirement System of Iowa (MFPRSI- 27.75%) -8- The employee benefrts levy increase is substantially due to rising health insurance costs, pension benefits and funding workers compensation losses.

An analysis of each category follows: 1. Prooertv Taxes - Property tax revenue provides 65% of General Fund revenue in FY2007 which Includes transfers in from the Employee Benefits and Emergency Levy funds. Property tax support within the General Fund is proposed to increase by 9.2% in FY2007 to $30.6 million. Property taxes for FY2008 are proposed at $31.7 million, an increase of 3.4%. FY2009 property taxes are projected at $32.9 million, a 4% increase. . Direct Receipted Levies - This Includes the general, transit, library, tort liability and agriculture land levies. The property tax revenue as proposed will be at the maximum allowable levy rates per State of Iowa Code, except for the tort liability levy. FY2007 direct property tax revenues are projected to be $21.7 million or 10% greater than FY2006. FY2008 Is projected to increase by 2.1 % to $22.1 million and FY2009 by 3% to $22.8 million. . Transferred Levies - The employee benefits levy property tax revenue is' receipted into the Employee Benefits Fund and then transferred to the General Fund. In FY2007 the Employee Benefit Fund will transfer $8.3 million to the General Fund. The emergency levy Is recelpted first into the Emergency Levy Fund and then transferred to the General Fund. For FY2007, the General Fund will receive $616,803 from the Emergency Levy Fund. 2. Other Citv Taxes - This includes revenue from the state-administered Hotel/Motel tax, a seven percent (7%) tax upon gross hoteVmotel room rental receipts. City council reallocated the proceeds from this tax during the FY2007 budget sessions, with an effective date of July 1, 2005. Receipts will be allocated as follows: Police Patrol (47.5%), Convention and Visitors Bureau (25%), Parks and recreational facilities (27.5%). -9- 3. This category also includes a gas and eleclric excise tax, a state-legislated reclassification from property tax to usage tax.

Parking fines will not be increased at this time. Meter hoods are proposed to increase in FYog. 2. WASTEWATER TREATMENT FUND Revenue was reduced by $700,000 in FY2oo5 due to process changes by industrial users. A revenue analysis indicates that a sewer rate increase of eight percent (8%) is necessary to meet operating expendttures and future capttal requirements. This would take effect July 1, 2006. 3. WATER FUND A new water treatment plant began operations during the spring of 2003. Water rates had been increased in prior years in order to provide cash financing on a portion of the construction costs. Upon completion of the plant, City Council approved a five-percent (5%) decrease in rates effective JUly 1, 2003 and again in July of 2004 in order to reduce the existing fund balance. An addttional five percent (5%) reduction is recommended in FY2007. 4. REFUSE FUND Fiscal year 2006 revenue includes a three percent (3%) increase in refuse collection fees from $12.10/month to $12.50/month. Fiscal years 2007 - 2009 include annual $.50 increases to be effective at the start of each fiscal year. This action was recommended due to the annual Increase in operetional costs. -20- I. LANDFILL FUND The landfill fee remains at $38.50 per ton for city residents and 43.50 per ton tor county residents. $2.10 of .the tonnage fee is a state surcharge that is remitted to the state and $1.55/ton local surcharge, also required by the state. The local surcharge is used to fund Iowa City's support of JCCOG Solid Waste as well as education efforts and ECICOG regional solid waste planning. State law and GASB 18 Accounting Principles require govemments to fund the estimated future costs to close the landfill and maintain it for 30 years after closure. The landfill liability balance at 6/30/04 for closure 1 postclosure costs was $7.876 million for the portion of the landfill that is currently used; and estimated at $11.8 million for the entire landfill by H.R. Green Company. The 6/30/04 cash balance to fund this was $8.1 million. Approximately $2.7 million of the 6/30/04 balance was reserved for landfill capital improvements, with $500,000 being added to this annually in FY07 - FY09. $2.3 million of this will be used to construct a new landfill cell in FY06; included within the capital improvement plan. 8. AIRPORT FUND The airport is operated by the Iowa City Airport Commission. The FY07 budget maintains current operations and includes continued repayment of interfund loans used to construct hangars at the airport. The loans were restructured in FY04 to match loan repayments to revenue received from the hangars. A portion of the airport known as the 'north commercial area' was Improved in FY2oo1 In order to market the property tor commercial use. The capital improvement plan includes extension of runway 7, closure of the north-south runway and improvements to the Aviation Commerce Park South. 7. BROADBAND TELECOMMUNICATIONS FUND - This fund accounts tor activtties within the Cable 1V division, including administration of the cable television franchise agreement, local programming on City Channel 4, interactive services on IntoVision Channel 5, and the Avatar Project, which produces a series of programs on interests and concems of the citizens of Iowa City.

Revenue from this pass-through fee is estimated at $114,600 for FY07. The franchise agreement also contains provisions in support of local public access and programming, including operational and equipment support administered by the City. The annual payment for publiC access is estimated at $191 ,000 for FY07. 8. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FUND In prior years, stormwater management focused on handling large quantities of water run-off in an urban environment and the prevention of flooding in low-lying areas. Storm sewers, ditches, and detention/retention pohds were built to carry stormwater away from homes and businesses during such events. In order to protect and improve valuable water resources, new federal regulations focus on the pollutants which are known to be carried by stormwater into streams and rivers. lowe City is now required to implement various programs related to stormwater quality under a federelly mandated Stormwater Permit. -21 - In absence of state or federal funding, a stormwater ordinance was adopted by City Council in March, 2004, which initiated a ltormwater utility user fee. This fee charges $2/month per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) and is comparable to what other communities have done to implement the new federal regulations. User fees are budgeted at $602,000 in FY2007. 9. HOUSING AUTHORITY FUND The Housing Authority Fund accounts for $7.0 million in revenue from the U,S.

Citv of Des Moines - Des Moines Franchise Fee Litigation To: From: Re: At a recent budget session, you requested information on the court ruling in Des Moines regarding the franchise fee on MidAmerican utility bills. On January 5, 2006, in the case of Kraanes v. Citv of Des Moines, the Polk County District Court held that the franchise fee charged by the City of Des Moines to MidAmerican Energy, and thereby charged by MidAmerican Energy to its customers, constituted an lIIegal unauthorized tax. A copy of the opinion is attached. In Iowa, a city may not levy a tax unless specifically authorized by state law. In the Des Moines case, the city did not dispute that the franchise fee was unrelated to the cost of regulating the utility, and rather, was a fee placed in the city's general fund and used for general city purposes unrelated to the utility. The city relied on Iowa Code Section 364.2(4)(f) which specifically allows the imposition of a "franchise fee" and the dichotomy between "franchise fees" and "management costs" in Chapter 480A. The Court acknowledged the statutory provisions but held that a "franchise fee" could not be used in a revenue-generating manner as was done in Des Moines. The City of Des Moines has appealed the ruling to the Iowa Supreme Court. I am informed by Bruce Bergman, the City Attorney, that the Supreme Court has granted expedited review with oral arguments scheduled during the week of March 6. I also understand that the City of Des Moines is in the early stages of seeking legislation. Des Moines believes it can show, both from an anecdotal standpoint and from annual surveys done by the City in recent years, that Des Moines taxpayers prefer a sales tax [the generic equivalent of franchise fees] over property taxes, as a way to pay the costs of local government. I understand Councilmembers also had questions about what effect this decision might have on Iowa City's cable franchise fee. The primary authorization for a cable franchise fee is found in federal law as opposed to the state law at issue in the Kraanes case. Thus, even if the Des Moines ruling is upheld on appeal, it should not effect the cable franchise fee. Please contact me if you need further clarification. cc: Steve Atkins, City Manager Marian Karr, City Clerk Dale Helling, Assistant City Manager Drew Shaffer, Cable Administrator Staff Attorneys eleanor/memlkragness-upclate.doc ". ........, .", .'. , . - ~ '.. ...... ~." :~: ...... .' ."

CE 49273 Plaintiff, vs. RULING ON MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT CITY OF DES MOINES, IOWA, , Defendant. A contestetl hearing on the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment was held before the undersigned on November 22,2005 as previously scheduled. Upon consideration of the arguments made at the hearing, and having reviewed the court file and being otherwise duly advised in the premises, the court rules as follows: The plaintiff seeks various forms of relief, both individually and on behalf of a purported class of similarly-situated individuals, all based on the contention that the franchise fees charged by the defendant to customers of Mid-American Energy who are residents of Des Moines is an illegal tax. Specifically, she seeks this court's declaration that the fees are illegal, an injunction prohibiting the continuing charging of the fees, and a refund of those fees which were improperly charged. In addition, she.seeks class. certification pursuant to IowaR.Civ.P. 1.262. This latterrequest is the 'subject of a separate motion, which will be taken up in the event the defendant is unsuccessful in its motion for summary judgment. The plaintiff has filed two motions for summary judgment; the first deals with this court's subject matter jurisdiction and has not been 'lll003 l:JllllSIO lil:l:;"]:} IO:b \I 5- NVnOOZ 'VI '}"lH003 )llOd 03ll.:l : .:.,.... "~ :~ ""'.-. ............. ." " , .. .-,. resisted. The plaintiff's second motion for summary judgmentl (as well as the defendant's motion) pertains to the merits of the claim that the franchise fees are illegal. The standards regarding summary judgment are well settled in Iowa. It is the moving party's burden to establish both the absence of any material factulll issues, and its entitlement to judgment as a matter ofIaw. IowaR.Civ.P. 1.981(3); American Lelrion. Hanford Post 5 v. Cedar Rapids Board of Review. 646 N.W.2d 433,437 (Iowa 2002). In determining whether this burden has been met, the court reviews the record in a light most favorable to the nonmoving party. Barreca v. Nickolas. 683 N.W.2d 111,116 (Iowa 2004). If the motion is properly supported, the resisting party may not merely rely upon its pleadings; it "must set forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial," or summary judgment would be appropriate. IowaR.Civ.P. 1.981(5); Weinzetl v. Ruan Single Source Transport Co..-587 N.W.2d 809,.810 (Iowa Ct.App. 1998). However, the converse is also true--"When the evidentiary matter tendered in support of the motion does not affIrmatively establish uncontroverted facts that sustain the moving party's right to judgment, summary judgment must be denied even if no opposing evidentiary matter is presented." Griglione v. Martin. 525 N.W.2d 810,813 (Iowa 1994). In this case, there is no meaningful dispute as to the underlying facts. In 1987, the city, of Des Moines passed ordinances extending franchises previously granted to Iowa Power and Light Company and Midwest Gas Company regarding the provision of electricity and natural gas. These ordinances included the assessment of a franchise fee, I The plaintiff's second motion for summary judgment is in actualily a motion for partial swnmary judgment, as it does not deal with the scope of potential monetary remedies available to the plaintiff in the event the fees are declared to be illegal. That will be taken up at a later time, if necessary. once the court has also dealt with the companion motion for class certification. 2 . -, '.:.' .,'..... . . '. .~.'".....;.. '_":.' ,"..; .' --,."

The city was specifically excluded as a customer to whom the franchise fees were to be assessed.. Effective September 1, 2004, the franchise fees were increased to three percent(3%).2 At this time, the city also provided that the fees could be increased to as much as six percent (6%). Effective June 1,2005, the fees were increased to five percent (5%). In determining the amount of fee to assess, the city never looked at the costs attributable to the regulation of the operation of the public utilities covered by the franchises. Instead, the monies generated by the collection of the franchise fees3 were placed in the city's general fund and used for such purposes as hiring more police and firefighters, increasing library hours and street improvements. The plaintiff has been a resident of the city of Des Moines since 1994, and a customer ofMidAmerican Energy and its predecessors for a comparable time. She seeks a refund of any franchise fees charged from and after July 27, 1999. It is clear from the manner in which the franchise fees have been assessed and used that they serve the essential purpose of a tsx; namely they constitute "a charge to pay the cost of government without regard to special benefits conferred." Home Builders Assoc. of Greater Des Moines v. City of West Des Moines, 644 N.W.2d 339, 346, '33346, 347 (Iowa 2002). The purpose of these fees is not to recover the city's expenses in inspecting, licensing, supervising or otherwise regulating an activity; rather, they have z The 2004 ordinances also acknowledged the merger of Iowa Power arid Light Company and Midwest Gas Company into a single entity-MidAmerican Energy Company.

Defendant's Briefin Support of City's Resistance to Plaintiffs Second Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, page 1. The question then becomes whether the city's claimed ability to levy such a tax can be justified under Iowa law. In order to survive such scrutiny, the city must establish specific legislative ,I ! authority to do so. "A city niay not levy a tax unless specifically authorized by state law." Iowa Code ~364.3(4) (2005)4 (quoted in Horne Builders. 644 N.W.2d'at 345). The city contends this authority comes from a number of statutes, which when read together allows for the imposition of a franchise fee in whatever amount the city deems appropriate. There are numerous references in the Iowa Code to "franchise fees" that any municipality may impose involving the operation of a public utility. The primary reference is found at Iowa Code ~364.2(4)(f), which contemplates the assessment ofa "city franchise fee" upon "customers ofa franchise." Iowa Code ~364.2(4)(f) (2005). The fact that this statute is the source for such a fee is buttressed by the language found in Iowa Code ~480A.6 (2005), which refers to the collection of a "city franchise · While prior editions of the Iowa Code are implicated due to the chronology of evenlS covered.in this litigation, the court will generally refer to the current language of any given statute, as there has been no change in the statutory language applicable to this ruling to the present. 4 .:..... ..."....,.. '..,...., .. .......'...':.;.,' . ..... ::.:...-, :. .::.<.,-\;~;: . ~". " .., fee. ..pursuantto section 364.2, subsection 4. ..." Clearly, the Code allows for the imposition of a franchise fee by a municipality such as the defendant. This does not end the analysis, however. The question then becomes whether the statutes allow for the'use of such a fee as a revenue-generating measure, as has been undisputedly done in this ' instance. Ordinarily, a fee imposed by a municipaJity may only be used to cover its administrative expenses in exercising its police power. Home Builders. 644 N.W.2d at 347. This has been the case both before and after the advent of home rule for municipalities. Id. (authorities omitted). Absent specific statutory authority to do so, a municipality may not justify a revenue-generating fee as an implied incident of its regulatory or police power. Id. at 350 ("[A]n implied power to tax [is] a notion antithetical to Iowa's home rule principles."). The city's argument that the aforementioned statutory references to franchise fees allow it to assess such fees "without limitation as to... the amount of the fee" (Defendant's Brief in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment, page 5) is at odds with this holding. In order to justify its franchise fees as revenue-generating measures, the defendant must establish statutory grounds for their use in such a manner. This it cannot do. The defendant once again points to Iowa Code ~480A.6 and its counterpart, Iowa Code ~480Aj, as'justification for the use of the franchise fee as a tax. Iowa Code ~480A.3 allows for a user fee to be assessed against a utility to be used to recover the city's "management costs caused by the public utility's activity in the public right-of- way." Iowa Code ~480A.3 (2005). On the other hand, Iowa Code ~480A.6 does not allow for the assessment of a franchise fee against a utility where a user fee pursuant to 5 ..... ';' '...... . ~ .~., .'. .... Iowa Code g480A.3 has been assessed. Iowa Code g480A,6 (2005). The defendant argues that this statutory dichotomy allows the use of franchise fees to generate revenues beyond the amount necessary to cover its expenses in regulating the franchisee. The.' defendant reads too much into this language. All these statutes mandate is that a municipality may use one of two methods to recover its regulatory expenses regarding a franchise: it may impose a user fee pursuant to g480Ao3, or a franchise fee pursuant to g480A.6, but not both.s These statutes do not constitute the specific authorization required to justify the franchise fees as a tax. The legislature has not provided specific statutory authority for the use of a city's franchise fee as a revenue-generating measure. Therefore, it constitutes a tax which has been assessed in violation ofIowa Code g36403(4). The plaintiffs second motion for summary judgment should be and is hereby granted. The court will enter an appropriate declaratory judgment, as well as an injunction prohibiting the continued assessment of the illegal tax. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the plaintiff's first motion for summary judgment is granted as unresisted. The district court has subject matter jurisdiction over the issues raised by the litigation in question, and the plaintiff s petition states a claim upon which relief may be granted. IT IS FuRTIJER ORDERED that the plaintiff's second motion for summary judgment is granted. The court hereby declares and orders that the franchise fees 'The same is true regarding the final statutes upon which the defendant claims justification for the use of the franchise fees as a revenue-generating measure, Iowa Code ~423B.5 and ~423E.3(2). Both these statutes refer to "a franchise fee or user fee" iinposed on the sales price from the sale of electricity or natural gas. Absent more specific language, these references only pertain to the options available to a municipality in recovering its costs, not as grounds as the use of one (user fee) to recover costs and the other (franchise fee) to generate revenue. 6 .:"'''.',.' .....

Huppert Judge, Fifth Judicial District Copies to: Brad Schroeder ~ M~k Godwin ./ 7 MINUTES HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2005 EMMA J. HARVAT HALL Preliminary ~ MEMBERS PRESENT: Michael Brennan, Richard Carlson, James Enloe, Michael Gunn, Michael Maharry, Mark McCallum, Jim Ponto, Tim Weitzel MEMBERS ABSENT: Justin Pardekooper, Jan Weissmiller STAFF PRESENT: Sunil Terdalkar OTHERS PRESENT: Helen Burford, Jeff Clark, Christopher Drop, Beth Rapson CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Weitzel called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA: There was none. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION: Certificates of Appropriateness: 229 South Johnson Street. Terdalkar stated that this is an application to demolish the garage on a property that is a contributing structure in the College Green Historic District. He said the garage would be replaced with parking spaces. Clark, the applicant, said that his company has owned this property for six to seven years. He said that there is rarely a car in the garage, if ever. Clark said the property is always congested with all the cars. He said he would like to deal with that by putting two stalls behind there. Clark said that the garage is a fire hazard right next to the house, as it has no sheet rock inside it and is dry rotting in some areas. He said that it appears that at one point, the column was pulled out and bowed, and the garage sits over into the columns and also has a little bit of a lean to it. Clark said he would like to tear down the garage. He said that it raises a maintenance issue and does not have much functionality for this rental house. McCallum asked if there is a shared driveway on this property with another house. Clark confirmed this. McCallum said he looked at this property, and the front of the property looks like a parking lot. He said his impression was that the garage was in okay shape, but he thought that a larger good might be served by reducing the number of cars in front. McCallum asked if the concrete in the front could be reduced if spaces were provided in the back. Clark said that was possible. He said that the concrete in front was not put in by his company and does not count for parking. McCallum said he would like to see more green space there, if possible. Weitzel said that the Commission can't do anything about the concrete in the front. McCallum said the issue is whether the garage is worth saving or not. Clark said that demolition of the garage would also allow for the possibility of the house on the right to have some parking in the rear as well, because right now the garage blocks that opportunity. He said his diagram shows that with someone pulling back in there, there could possibly be two cars on both sides. Clark said that when he drives by in the morning, there are at least six cars sitting there. Weitzel stated that two more spots in the back won't solve that issue. Clark said that it would help push two cars on the one side back and allow the house on the right to have two stalls also, resulting in a net of four stalls. Carlson said that if cars are parked in the driveway, there is no access row from the street to the back of the lot. Clark said the zoning ordinance reads that one car may be parked behind another. He said the Historic Preservation Commission Minutes November 10, 2005 Page 2 idea would be to have two cars in behind there, and then one car behind it, and it meets the intent of what the City wants. Weitzel said that the parking is not an issue for the Commission, ultimately. He said the issue is the condition of the building proposed to be torn down. Carlson read from the guidelines, "The Commission wiil consider the condition, integrity, and architectural significance of the outbuilding." He said the Commission therefore has no guidelines for what exactly to consider as a threshold for any of the three criteria. Weitzel said that precedence-wise, the Commission has gone both ways. Gunn said that he thinks this is a shabby, old garage. He said that it is not very important in the sense of the architectural character of the neighborhood. Gunn said he did not see anything wrong with tearing down the garage. He said the chance that it might improve the parking situation is probably good. Gunn said the language came about when there was no way to stop demolition anywhere in the City. He said the Commission drew a line with primary structures in historic or conservation districts, although non- contributing structures did not concern the Commission that much. Gunn said the Commission has looked at outbuiidings on a case-by-case basis. He said that he does not think this garage is worth any battie. MOTION: Maharry moved to approve a certificate for the demolition of a garage at 229 South Johnson Street, as proposed, for the reasons previously stated. Gunn seconded the motion. Ponto asked Clark if he has considered moving the garage 90 degrees around to become one of the parking stalls. Clark said the City requires a stall that is nine feet by 18 feet, and there is less than 20 feet there. He said the garage would then have to be moved too close to the property line. Weitzel said it is probably allowed where it is now, because it hasn't been moved. He said that once the foundation is moved, it would have to comply with the current setback standards. Carlson said that even though the garage is over 50 years old, because it was ciearly built at least a couple of decades after the house and therefore does not fit in with the historic context of the house, he is more willing to let this go than he might be with some other garages. Gunn said that a period carriage house in the back would be a different story. Weitzel said that if it was a small but well-matched garage, there also might be impetus to preserve it. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. 821 South Seventh Avenue. Drop, the contractor for this project, said that the proposal is to put a six by ten foot addition to the rear of the house. He said that it might possibly be an addition to an addition to the original building. Drop said the addition would come out to the west six feet, which would make the kitchen more functional. He said that the current occupants have some handicaps, so he is trying to meet their needs with the kitchen addition. Drop said he intends to add some lower-level work surfaces, which can't be done in the existing kitchen because there is not much wall space. Drop said that this would be visible from the street. He said he wouid like to bring the line straight down the additional six feet and put in an additional window to break up that wall. Drop said there has to be some distinction between the addition and the original house if the addition is viewable. Weitzel said the Commission would normally ask for a setback on the side to distinguish the addition to the house. He said, however, if this is an addition to an addition, the Commission may consider giving more leeway. Carlson asked if the foundation is different under the rear wing. Drop said that it is slightly different. He said that he looked at the Sanborn map, which shows the screened porch with the house, and the measurements add up to not having the four-foot addition on the back. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes November 10, 2005 Page 3 Drop said he talked to Terdalkar about a setback to distinguish the addition, but that would really disrupt the functional interior layout. Weitzel agreed that a setback would make this a very small, narrow addition. Ponto said that to set it in to make it smaller would be unreasonable. Weitzel agreed. Carlson asked if the current rear wing would be affected at all. Drop said the new addition would just project out. He said the foundation would be brought out and would match with the veneer brick. Drop said he would put a wider window in the back, about six or eight inches wider. Weitzel asked if there would be a band of trim to define the addition. Drop confirmed this. Terdalkar said that there is no trim on the house, except for on the windows. He stated that there are no cornerboards on the house now, so trim to define the addition wouid be the only trim on the house. Terdalkar said that if the Commission wants trim as a distinguishing point, it would be only for that purpose, so the Commission would have to decide on the style of that trim. Drop asked if it should be 3% inch by 5/4 to match the window trim. Weitzel said it should match the window trim. Carlson said the Commission has at times been willing to say that if the foundation looks different, that is enough of a change to tell that one is different from another. Maharry said that the change in the style of it just to have an artificial marker does not seem appropriate in this case. Carlson agreed, saying that there are other exterior markers. Terdalkar said the current foundation is a rock faced concrete block. He said that regular concrete block would show the difference. Carlson agreed and said that would be permissible in this neighborhood. Weitzel said that any kind of concrete block is allowable in a conservation district. Gunn said that the elevation as drawn looks better than if the trim were not there. Carlson said he was not certain that he would want the line as depicted, because it doesn't show the current addition but would show a hypothetical earlier addition. He said that architecturally he thought it looked better as in the drawing, but he would prefer to see the foundation material as a marker. MOTION: Carlson moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for an addition to the rear of 821 South Seventh Avenue, with the specification that the new addition be distinguished from the old by the use of plain, concrete block. Ponto seconded the motion. Terdalkar pointed out that the application specifies the use of rock face, if possible. Drop said that he would just use regular concrete block and said that would be fine with the homeowners. Maharry asked if the window trim would match the existing. Drop responded that the window trim would match. He said that he is looking for muntins with a 5/8 dimension to match the rest of the house. Drop said the closest he has found to date is 7/8. Weitzel said he thought that would be acceptable as long as it was a true divided light and six over six. Drop said he was looking at the applied muntins that cannot be removed. Weitzel said those have been approved by the Commission before. Gunn pointed out that divided lights can be created with muntin bars that are adhered to both sides of the glass, but not with snap-in muntin bars. AMENDMENT TO THE MAIN MOTION: Carlson amended the motion to allow the owners the option of using rock-face concrete block, provided it is distinguishable from the older foundation. Ponto seconded the amendment. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. 528 East Colleae Street. Terdalkar stated that this is a contributing structure in the College Green Historic District. He said the application is for a change in the position of the shed that was previously approved. Terdalkar said only the shed position is proposed to be changed and that the column spacing will remain the same as previously approved. Burford, the owner of the property, asked why she had to go through the application process again. Terdalkar stated that this was a change from the previously approved application, and it does not fit in the no-material-effect criteria and the Commission review is required for such exterior changes. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes November 10, 2005 Page 4 Weitzel said this is basically what the original proposal looked like, although the Commission approved a smaller shed because the air conditioner was in the way. He said that the air conditioner was moved, so the shed was back to the original proposal. Terdalkar said the plan has a dotted line showing the previous shed. Carlson said the shed is being lengthened from the previously approved plan back to the original dimensions. Weitzel said the shed would still be a little bit smaller than the initial proposal and has shifted a little bit to the east. Burford said she wishes there were a way that a procedure like this could be streamlined. Weitzel stated that this is a very large project that has been done on sort of a piecemeal basis rather than all at once and designs revised so many times, so the Commission has had to review it every time changes are proposed. MOTION: McCallum moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for changes to the shed proposed for 528 East College Street. Ponto seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. 315 Brown Street. Terdalkar said that this is a contributing structure in the Brown Street Historic District. He said the application is for an addition to the back of the house, with the removal of the existing two additions. Terdalkar stated that the original foundation was poured concrete block with plaster and paint over it. He said the applicants have indicated that they would be willing to use regular or rock faced concrete block instead. Maharry said the issue is whether this is a historic porch. Terdalkar said that there were no records found in the surveys about the porch or its construction date. He said the house was built in 1896, but the porch appears to be a later addition as the foundation masonry appears to be weaker and the rock face looks different on the foundation of the porch. Maharry asked if the columns and window trim were recycled. Terdalkar said the applicant said there was damage to the porch in the past, and they replaced some of the columns. Maharry asked if the columns that are there are original, because they look pretty old. Gunn said it could be an addition fairly soon after the house was built. Maharry said that the storm doors are there, so the addition couldn't be that much newer than the house. Weitzel said the construction of the porch could eaSily be in the 1890s time period. Carlson agreed that the lower porch could have been built during that era. Weitzel said the porch is clearly more than 50 years old. Maharry said that if it is an addition, there is evidence that it is historic and over 50 years old because of the capitol, the trim, the storm door, the cellar, and the columns. He said it is important to determine, because there are guidelines for the demolition of historic, character-defining structures in a historic district. Terdalkar said the survey mentions that the house appears to be a mirror image of the plan for the neighboring house. Terdalkar noted that there is some dissimilarity e.g. one house is a two-story structure, but the other is one and one-half story. Weitzel said the back porch was probably added later but is historic. Carlson said that would not be a mirror image house then. Maharry asked if the owners were clear in the knowledge that the demolition of historic, character- defining features is disallowed. Terdalkar said the owners wanted more room and had said that the porch needed more work than just regular maintenance. Gunn stated that when he bought his house, there was a one and three-quarters squatty, square addition on the back that was clearly an addition. He said he added to the addition's extension south, went up an additional Y. of a story, and actually made it the tallest part. Gunn said his house is in the Summit Street District. He said he brought his project before the Commission, which thought it was a wonderful addition, and it won a first place award at that time. Gunn said he is happy with it, and it is in character with the addition. He said that what the owners have proposed is more attractive and architecturally more in keeping what is on the house now, even if is removing something historic. Brennan said he agreed but said the guidelines prohibit demolition if the porch is architecturally significant. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes November 10, 2005 Page 5 Gunn said that architecturally significant does not necessarily refer to everything old. Weitzel said the Commission has to decide on a case-by-case basis whether something is important to the house or not. Gunn said that the sleeping porch is not important to the architectural character of the house. Carison said that the back porch could be original, and even if it is not original, it's built in the style of the front porch. Weitzel said it is also pretty simple. Gunn said this is not about ripping out a front porch and putting on a deck with a treated wood railing. Weitzel said the argument could be made that the back entryway is actually fancier than the original house is. Ponto said if the Commission approves this, it might want to recommend not having the back be overly ornate. Gunn said that this is not a landmark or key structure. He said that over time the Commission has moved from considering the architectural character of the neighborhood to preserving every property as if it were a landmark. Gunn said it is getting in the way of some things. He said the owners are proposing a nice modification to the back. Gunn stated that to disallow this because of an old structure on the back is looking for trouble, and the Commission will continue to find trouble if it defines architectural character so narrowly as being anything old. He said the Commission needs to protect the character of historic neighborhoods. Gunn said he could understand being finicky about a landmark or key structure, but this is just one of thousands of properties. Weitzel said one sees these porches elsewhere; this is not the only place left in town as an example of this. He said that it has already been altered somewhat and thought he could probably vote in favor of demolition. Weitzel said he could see the point that this is removing a historic feature, but, especially with the odd sleeping porch, he was not certain that it is significant and important to retain on this house. Maharry said the proposal would change the whole view of the back of the house by adding a giant gable back there. Gunn asked where the guidelines state that historic features cannot be removed. Carlson referred to 7.0. Weitzel said that demolition is disallowed if it is significant to the architectural character and style of the building, which is up to the Commission to interpret. He stated that the term significant makes the Commission less tied down than it would otherwise. Carlson said that removal of the front porch would be much more noticeable, but its significance is at a much higher level than the back porch. He said he still thinks of the back porch as character defining and part of an era. Maharry said he thinks it is character defining because of the storm cellar. Ponto said the sleeping porch is not character defining at all, but the lower porch could be. Gunn said the sleeping porch has probably been there more than 50 years. He said he thinks that one has to be able to walk by it and think it belongs, and that's good enough for him. MOTION: McCallum moved to approve a certificate for the demolition of the rear, two-story porch at 315 Brown Street. Ponto seconded the motion. Gunn said that the middle paragraph under demolition states, "A certificate of appropriateness is also required for removal of any portion of a building, such as a porch, porch balustrade, decorative brackets, dormers, chimneys, or other architecturally significant components on any structure within a historic district or on any landmark." He stated that the guidelines don't say this will be denied but just say that a certificate is required, so they are to be discussed and presumably, in the language, sometimes they can be approved. Weitzel said there is leeway for non-significant items to be torn off, but the Commission needs to decide what is significant. Ponto said that an addition on the back of any historic house will destroy something historic. He said the issue is how much is destroyed. Carlson said this is not just the back wall with a window or two, which is what the Commission often considers. He said this application is to remove the entire back of the house plus the porch, and the proposed design would not look anything remotely like that porch. Maharry suggested the Commission look at this as an equation. He said the large sleeping porch on the second floor isn't historic and doesn't contribute significantly, and the same is true for one column and the enclosed part of the porch, which probably doesn't add to the significance and character of the porch. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes November 10, 2005 Page 6 Maharry said that is balanced out with what will be lost, which is historic, which includes the second-story window, which is probably less character defining, two original columns, and a storm cellar. Gunn said that the pair of columns is probably more appropriate as drawn than the fancy brackets on the back porch. Maharry said the Commission should articulate why the features are not significant. "'The tape quits here. Well, it's speeded up, and everyone sounds like they're using helium and is unintelligible. I tried a different tape player, but nothing changes. It must have happened during the recording. *** Weitzel said he thought an equation addresses the issue well and is more objective than other methods. Terdalkar said the surveys determine significance, and if something is altered over time, it loses its significance. Weitzel agreed that an architectural historian would see the alteration as detracting from the building. He said that the porch is documented by photographs and archives. Brennan asked if the neighboring property had a back porch, and Terdalkar said it originally did not. Brennan asked if the neighboring property was a contributing structure, and Terdalkar confirmed that 311 Brown Street is a contributing structure, Carlson said that he would probably vote against the demolition, because he likes the idea of a back porch. Ponto said that the sleeping porch and the bathroom are not significant, contributing features, because they are add-ons and inharmonious with the building and do not contribute to the overall flavor of the house, He said that the part of the porch that is unscathed is a tougher call. Ponto said that where add-ons are allowed, some historic component is lost. He said that because the sleeping porch and bathroom are not significant, that loss is minimal, and losing the lower part of the porch with its two posts is less than half of the entire expanse. Gunn agreed and said he would vote in favor of the demolition. Enloe also agreed, based on the balance of gain and loss. He said that the back porch is already spoiled, and the loss is more than balanced by removing the inappropriate sleeping porch and the bathroom. Enloe said that the net effect is not deleterious to the house. Carlson said that if this were just approval of removal of the sleeping porch, he might be in favor. Maharry stated that in the past, the Commission has considered the rehabilitation potential with respect to a project. He said that removal of the addition to bring the house back to its original state was improbable and not feasible, and it was especially unlikely that a bathroom would ever be removed. Maharry said that the back part of the house was not likely to ever be restored, and he would support the demolition of the back porch. The motion carried on a vote of 7-1, with Carlson votinQ no. Regarding the addition, Carlson said that he thought it was a fine design, except for the extra ornamentation and the three square, short windows. Enloe said he also did not like the three short windows on the west elevation. Weitzel said the owners would like a sunroom/family room with a large window on the back wall, but he thought the three short windows were designed as such for privacy reasons. Terdalkar said (something about the scale of the window and trying to match the central window on the dining room. He said something about three open windows with ornate glass.) Weitzel said that the window appears larger in the drawing and did not have the same trim. He said that the larger window is more like the size of the existing window. Enloe said (something about on the other side taking out the hall window and replacing it.) Rapson, the contractor for this project, said (something about two windows and their existing condition and having them over the sink. She said .. .something about wanting to put in the short windows to accommodate the kitchen.) Weitzel said the Commission has allowed for different sized windows for kitchen remodels, but that was usually at the back of the house. Enloe said he would be less troubled if the windows were on the back. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes November 10, 2005 Page 7 Enloe asked Rapson the reason for having the short windows on the other side. Rapson said that they don't have to be that size, but they are very close to the neighboring home and look right through the neighbors' back door. She said it was not essential to have them be that size, and it is more important to have the kitchen window height as proposed, to allow for the counter. Weitzel agreed that most homeowners want more light for a modern kitchen. Rapson described the floor plan for the kitchen. She said that in the existing kitchen, there Is only counter space from the chimney to the door and very little cupboard space. Weitzel said that to accommodate the modern design of the kitchen, the contractor had to do it with windows. Rapson said it was a problem especially because there are so many doors leading Into the kitchen. Enloe said he was okay with the window shape to accommodate the design but was less enamored of the two windows together. Rapson said they would match the pair of windows on the front of the house, and there is also a house at the corner of Brown and Johnson in a historic district for which the Commission approved a pair of windows together. Weitzel asked if the style of that house was the same, and Rapson said that it is a Dutch house with a gambrel roof. McCallum said that if the windows are split, the kitchen will lose the upper cabinet. Rapson said she would also like to see a window above the sink. Weitzel said that there is nice symmetry there now. Rapson stated that the window would match the upper height. She said there is a pair of windows together on the front and a single window above so that this pattern exists elsewhere on the house. Carlson said (something about appropriate window before, but what's there...not new shape and typically on the back.. .approve a lot of things if undoing.) Gunn said (something about don't care window left.) Rapson said (something about being useful inside but could put a pair of long windows there.) Weitzel asked if the kitchen windows could be salvaged and used on the addition in the back. Rapson said that the windows on the south elevation would be the same dimension as the long ones, and the current windows are in bad shape. Weitzel asked if they are leaky and need reglazing or if they are rotten. Rapson was uncertain but said that the owners of the neighboring house want to replace a window of the same era and added that the current windows are not weather tight. Maharry said that if the windows are moved to a new location, they could be made weather tight. Weitzel said that the process of reglazing, etc. could potentially be less than the cost of a new window. Rapson said that the replacement windows would cost less then $300 per window. Weitzel said (something about saving the windows so they are not destroyed and not removed entireiy.. .need special kitchen counter and...west side.) Rapson said (something about the inside trim is the original trim.) She said it would be frustrating to do new construction that is weather tight but use old, ieaky windows. Weitzei said that if the windows aren't moved, they will have to be repaired. Maharry said (something about the window dimensions on the west side.) Enloe said (something about if the dimensions on the west inside three and .. .separate or in pairs. ) Weitzel said he would be okay with either. He stated that this is new construction, therefore (something about not setting a precedent and...) Gunn said (something about three windows together in the back and the two windows together look better.) Weitzel asked Rapson if the owners would be reusing the two columns on the back porch. Rapson responded that if they are salvageable, she would reuse them. She added that the columns on the front had been replaced, with Commission approval, and said that the columns in the back might be rotten at the bottom. Weitzel suggested replacing the brackets on the back with columns and extending the canopy to all of the columns. Maharry said that would match the front. Rapson said (something about the rails on the back being new.) Weitzel said (something about new residential single-family homes require 36-inch baluster spacing.) Rapson said that on the house next door there is a pair of windows facing together. Terdalkar said there is also a pair of windows on the second floor. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes November 10, 2005 Page 8 Carlson asked if there would be a contrast between the foundation on the current house and the foundation on the addition. Rapson replied that the foundation on the current house is block made to look like stone and (something about intent to have a concrete foundation.) Weitzel said (the guidelines require block??) Terdalkar suggested that the blocks from the current porch could be used. Rapson responded that the foundation is falling apart and is not on straight. Weitzel said that the blocks could still probably be reused. Maharry asked if the back door is original. Rapson replied that it is original but said that it is not in good shape. She said that they would not be reusing that door but would be installing a new door with the same format and a new storm door. Rapson said it is nicer and would be more historically appropriate than what is on the front. Maharry asked about the five-paneled steel door. Rapson said that door would lead to the basement. Maharry said that a two-paneled door would be preferable. Rapson said the owners want an insulated, durable door there. She said she could only find (something about one with the horizontal and not the colonial...and her choice was that or a solid slab with glass.) Rapson said she would continue to look for a two-paneled door and said that would be her preference as well. MOTION: Gunn moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the construction of a rear addition at 315 Brown Street, with the following exceptions to the proposal: 1) the west triple windows should be replaced with a pair of double hung single windows, 2) columns similar to those on the front be installed on the new porch, 3) the foundation be a masonry foundation, and 4) the basement door be of horizontal panels, if possible. McCallum seconded the motion. Carlson said he did not like to see the windows on the east elevation of the original house go. He said he would vote against this for the sake of registering his disapproval of the removal of the windows but said he basically approves of this design. The motion carried on a vote of 6-2. with Carlson and Enloe votine no. Weitzel recommended that Rapson consider taking any reusable materials to the salvage barn. OTHER: Terdalkar stated that the City Council asked the Commission to reconsider Section 4.11 of the guidelines, to accommodate the project at 517 Grant Street. Carlson said it was his impression that the City Council didn't like the idea of a homeowner having to spend $3,000 versus a $600 repair. Weitzel said the City Council was swayed by the owner's argument, although it was not necessarily germane to Section 4.11. Maharry said he watched the meeting and felt that the City Council only heard one side of the discussion. He said he would like to know specifically what the City Council wants to see changed. McCallum stated that the language discrepancy between the Building Code and Section 4.11 needs to be cleared up. He said that the Building Code states that if someone is re-roofing, he does not need a building permit. McCallum said (something here about Section 4.11.. .removing.) He said that the language needs to be more consistent. Brennan said that if the Building Code does not require a permit, then the guidelines don't come into play. Maharry said that the owner was changing the pitch of her roof with wood. He said that this is not re- roofing but is actually building something. McCallum said (something about reviewing requirements for a regular permit.) Weitzel said (something about speaking to Karen and the City Attorneys regarding a mistake in the Code...and can't solve.) He said that this concerned an appeal to the City Council. Enloe said that the Commission has now reviewed Section 4.11, and the rules are clear. Weitzel said the City Council review was off topic from the appeal and involved discussion regarding whether the Commission's decision was fair to the owner versus discussion about the ordinance. He said the owner Historic Preservation Commission Minutes November 10, 2005 Page 9 had a sheet metal contractor give her the $3,000 estimate. Weitzel said there are other options for this roof, but the owner did not feel they would work. Gunn agreed that there are other options. He pointed out that this project was already begun without consuitation with the guidelines and without the owner obtaining a permit. Gunn said if the owner had followed the rules, then this would not be a problem. Maharry suggested submitting a report to the City Council to emphasize the Commission's points. He pointed out that the installation of the ATM on a historic building was done without a permit. McCallum said the language in the Building Code is not clear as to when a permit is required in a case like this. Enloe said that in that event, it should be clarified in the Building Code. McCallum said that the Commission's review is accounted for in the Building Code regarding windows and doors but not in this case. Maharry stated that the City Council needs evidence that changing the slope alters the historic character of the building. He added that Section 4.11 was not created in a vacuum and was done after consideration of possible circumstances. Weitzel said that Section 4.11 does not specify a method that must be used but rather allows options. Enloe said that people won't look at the guidelines unless they realize they need a permit to alter the pitch or slope of the roof. Brennan stated that the Commission voted this down, but the City Council wants to know if the guidelines can be altered to allow some exceptions. Maharry said that in every case, a homeowner could argue that there is some extraordinary circumstance. Gunn said it is reasonable for the City Council to ask the Commission to review something in the guidelines. He said (something about let...avoid knowing the permit or the guidelines and...suggesting that the language regarding building permits to modified.) Gunn said that the Commission needs to make the point that the architectural character of a building is altered if the pitch of the roof is changed. Maharry suggested the Commission recommend to the City Council that the Building Code language be changed. He said the Commission should also provide evidence from other communities showing how the change of a roof slope can affect the historic nature of the building. Weitzel asked Carlson to draft a memo to the City Council to address the points discussed by the Commission. Maharry said there should be some discussion of the costs in this case. Weitzel said that Accromax and EPDM can be used on roofs without the high costs quoted by the contractor. Gunn asked if the $3,000 quote included the cost of undoing what had been done in error. Weitzel did not know. Gunn said (something about the costs for doing something shouldn't have been...something in the first place.) Maharry said that the owner would have a received a letter in February 2005, not to mention all of the other notifications, to let her know that her house was in a historic district. Carlson said he could not address all of the owner's points in his memo to the City Councii, because there was not enough information. Maharry suggested sticking with the global themes, versus one individual's claims. Brennan suggested including other options for the roofing in the memo. Carlson pointed out that other solutions would be effective. Brennan said (something about.. .discussions with several people that. ..not look offensive.) He said that the key for her house is that it had a gambrel roof. Brennan said that it already had a pitch change, so (something about another small change being okay.) Weitzel said (something about the flat element being a design feature and the fact that the house is over 80 years oid.) Brennan said that the roof is now dysfunctional, as frequently happens. Weitzel said that they all eventually become dysfunctional. Gunn said that if the Commission found an exception for this owner's house, it would affect thousands of front porches with internal gutters, and (something about they would become shed roofs.) He said that internal gutters are an essentially historic element. Gunn said the Commission could not let this go, because it would set a precedent for all architecturally significant front porches allover the City. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes November 10, 2005 Page 10 Weitzel added that to alter the guidelines for one applicant would be the definition of arbitrary and capricious. Maharry said that the wording could be changed to say, "not significantly altered," which would give the Commission some discretion. Weitzel asked how many people would have changed their vote if the word "significantly" was included in the guideiine. Brennan said that he would have voted in favor, and Ponto said he did not know if he would have or not. Enloe said the reason for the guidelines, to some degree, is to be rigid. He said that if there were no guidelines, the Commission would have a much more difficult job. Weitzel said (something about the guidelines in Section 4.11 intended for porches.) Gunn said they were not intended for just porches. Enioe said (something about protecting specific features.) Gunn said the guidelines were debated before they were approved. He said (something about... then all covered but gutters outside. Gunn said something about no roof pitch change.. .and affects lots of properties, therefore it should be left alone.) Weitzel said that people have told him that the Commission needs to define when something is architecturally significant or not. Gunn said that there is a difference between architectural significance and historical significance. He pointed out that there is not an architect on the Commission now, and Weitzel said he would like to have an architect on the Commission. Gunn said (something about concerned about allowing all internal gutters to be covered.) Enloe said that it would allow restoration to the original state at some future time. Carlson said he would e-mail the draft memo to Commission members for their review. Weitzel pointed out that Commission members had the option of changing the guideiines at the present meeting if someone moved and seconded a motion and there was a majority vote. MINUTES: October 13, 2005. Weitzel asked Commission members to submit any typographical corrections to Terdalkar. Carlson stated that on page three, in the second full paragraph, the last sentence should be ciarified. Weitzel stated that on page four, in the first paragraph reviewing the minutes, the last sentence should refer to "Carlson" and not "Weitzel." MOTION: Enloe moved to approve the minutes of the October 13, 2005 Historic Preservation Commission meeting, as amended. Maharry seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0. OTHER: Weitzel asked for discussion of the submitted RFPs. Carlson said that he thought the more expensive proposals were better. He said he thought the Svendsen, Tyler, and Clarion proposal was best, and the Gray/Grace proposai was next. Carlson said the Spark proposal was very detailed, but he thought the consultant(s) might not be up to the task. Terdalkar said (something here about Svendsen and balancing experience and capacity...and two firms...the details in the Spark proposai regarding how the process would be carried out.) He said that one of the requirements of the RFP was to state how the plan would be carried out. Weitzel said (something here about preservation and Svendsen, and said that the document put together about Colorado was very well done.) He asked if anyone disapproved of the Svendsen Tyler and Clarion proposal. Weitzel suggested the Commission then go with that firm. Brennan said he talked with the Attorney General's Office about the open meeting law and what constitutes a meeting. He said the Attorney General's Office informed him that an instant messaging session, even if only two people are corresponding, constitutes a meeting. Brennan said that the Attorney General's Office stated that a series of e-mails is a murkier area but is probably okay. Brennan said that the e-mails would be a matter of public record, however. _____~______._~__.___"____._.._.~_,.____"._~___.___~_'._........_.____._._._______..___.___. _"____."'___..,___.~._ .___._,___,.._____.________.____..._'__'.___n.___.'"m._ Historic Preservation Commission Minutes November 10, 2005 Page 11 ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 9:37 p.m. Minutes submitted by Anne Schulte s:/pcdfminuleslhpcl200SHPCmnutes/HPC11.10.05.doc = Q ..

HARVAT HALL ~ PRELIMINARY MEMBERS PRESENT: Ann Freerks, Terry Smith, Bob Brooks, Don Anciaux, Wally Plahutnick, Dean Shannon MEMBERS ABSENT: Beth Koppes STAFF PRESENT: Bob Miklo, Mitch Behr OTHERS PRESENT: Swen Larson RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL: Recommended approval by a vote of 6-0, (Koppes absent) REZ05-00024. a rezoning from Low Density Single-Family Residential (RS-5) zone to Community Commercial (CC-2) zone for 1.02 acres of property located at 3405 Rochester Avenue subject to Conditional Zoning Agreement as specified in the Staff Report dated 1/5/2006. Recommended approval by a vote of 6-0, (Koppes absent) SUB05-00027, a final plat of JJR Davis Fourth Addition, a 6.68-acre, 4-lot commercial subdivision subject to Staff approval of legal papers and construction drawings prior to consideration by Council. CALL TO ORDER: Brooks called the meeting to order at 7:30 pm. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA: There was none. REZONING iTEM: REZ05-00024, discussion of an application submitted by Three Bulls, L.L.C. for a rezoning from Low Density Single-Famiiy Residential (RS-5) zone to Community Commercial (CC-2) zone for 1.02-acres of property located at 3405 Rochester Avenue. Miklo said this property had been in the City for a number of years. It was formerly the sight of a residence and a non-conforming salvage yard. The applicants had recently purchased this property and also owned Olde Towne Village, an adjacent commercial zone, and an OPDH/RS-8 zone to the south for residential development. The applicants were seeking to rezone the property from RS-5 zone to CC-2 zone to be consistent with the rest of Olde Town Village and the Comprehensive Plan. The current RS-5 zoning would no longer be appropriate as the entire area was designated as commercial in the Comprehensive Plan. The CC-2 retail zone allows retail uses, personal services, offices and some drive- through businesses such as restaurants and gas stations by special exception. In 2001, the surrounding area had been annexed and zoned CC-2 with a Conditional Zoning Agreement to assure that the area wouid deveiop consistently with the Comprehensive Plan which had identified this area as Neighborhood Commercial. At that time, the applicant had chosen to seek CC-2 zoning but had agreed to a CZA which contained several elements designed to implement the Comprehensive Plan and make the area more similar in appearance to a neighborhood rather than community commercial zone. Staff recommended that similar conditions be applied to the new area so it wouid be developed in a manner consistent with the surrounding shopping center. The CZA inciudes a restriction to only two entrances to the arterial streets; one on Eastbury Drive which intersected with Rochester Avenue and one on Middlebury Drive which intersected with Scott Boulevard. A private internal street system would provide access to the individual lots. To avoid individual curb cuts onto Rochester Avenue and Scott Boulevard, ensure consistency and the safety of traffic on Rochester Avenue, Staff recommended a similar condition regarding access restrictions for the new property which would have access to Westbury Drive. Staff also recommended conditions regarding improvements to the infrastructure to be consistent with Olde Towne Village. Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes January 5, 2006 Page 2 Miklo said that the lagoon located within the OPDH-8 zone had been removed and would be replaced by a storm water retention facility and manufactured wetland to meet the requirements of the Corps of Engineers and Sensitive Areas guidelines. Miklo said Staff recommended approval of REZ05-00024 subject to a Conditional Zoning Agreement as specified in the Staff Report to assure that this new parcel would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the Olde Towne Village shopping center. Plahutnick asked if there was property set aside for park use or funds in lieu of. Miklo said it would apply only to the residential area south of Middlebury Drive. Open space fees or parkland did not apply to commercial development(s). Public discussion was opened. Swen Larson. Three Bulls. L.L.C. said this rezoning made the most sense and needed to be in conjunction with the rest of the CC-2. At this point in time the developers didn't know what would be the best building layout for that particular lot but as they identified a tenant or potential buyer, they'd move forward to ensure that it was in conjunction with the rest of the development. They agreed with the conditions that were consistent with the Olde Towne Village rezoning. Plahutnick thanked Three Bulls, L.L.C. for taking on the project of cleaning up the former salvage yard. Pubiic discussion was closed. Miklo said Staff had received a concept plan earlier in the day. The CZA would make it clear that any final sight plans would need to conform to the concept plan for the overall Olde Town Village. Some flexibility was needed as the applicant currently didn't know what the exact uses would be. As long as the project adhered to the concepts in the Comprehensive Plan such as building up to the streets, putting parking lots behind buildings and the other general concepts, Staff believed CC-2 zoning on this property would work with the larger shopping center. Motion: Anciaux made a motion to approve REZ05-00024, a rezoning of 1.02-acres from Low Density Single-Family Residential (RS-5) zone to Community Commercial (CC-2) zone for 1.02 acres of property located at 3405 Rochester Avenue subject to a Conditional Zoning Agreement as specified in the Staff Report dated 1/5/2006. Freerks seconded the motion. Freerks said she felt it would be a nice addition and hoped it would move forward quickly. The motion passed on a vote of 6-0 (Koppes absent). DEVELOPMENT ITEM: SUB05-00027, discussion of an application submitted by James Davis for a final plat of JJR Davis Fourth Addition, a 4-lot, 6.68-acre commercial subdivision located east of Mormon Trek Boulevard. Miklo said the entire area had been annexed into the City in 2003; portions were zoned CH-1, Highway Commercial and portions were zoned CI-1, Intensive Commercial. The purpose of extending Mormon Trek Boulevard in addition to providing an east to west southern arterial to improve traffic circulation had been to encourage economic development. The CI-1, Intensive Commercial zone, allowed for those types of businesses that were land consumptive and were quasi-industrial. It would not necessarily be ideal to have them right next to the highway, but those businesses wouid need some access to the highway. A preliminary plat was approved in November, 2004, which included 4 additional lots to the west of those currently being subdivided. The former Dane Road ran along the east-side of this property. When the property to the east developed, the plan called for Dane Road to be built. One of the conditions of this subdivision was that the owner/developer would contribute to the costs of improving Dane Road when the adjacent area developed. Legal papers would address those costs and sanitary sewer tap-on fees. When the preliminary plat had been approved, some of the storm-water management had been off site and had required easements across the Airport property. That had since been re-worked so stormwater management was now on the Dane property, there were no longer pipes going across Airport property. Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes January 5, 2006 Page 3 Miklo said Staff recommended approvai of SUB05-00027, subject to Staff approval of legal papers and construction drawings prior to City Council consideration. Anciaux asked if funds were being escrowed for the improvement of Dane Road. Miklo said the legal papers would specify that funds would be paid for improvement of Dane Road in the future. Behr said the funds would be required to be paid before a building permit was issued. Public discussion was opened. There was none. Public discussion was closed. MOTION: Smith made a motion to approve SUB05-00027, a final plat of JJR Davis Fourth Addition, a 6.68-acre, 4-lot commercial subdivision subject to Staff approval of legal papers and construction drawings prior to consideration by Council. Anciaux seconded. The motion passed on a vote of 6-0 (Koppes absent). CONSIDERATION OF 12/15/05 MEETING MINUTES: Motion: Anciaux made a motion to approve the minutes as typed and corrected. Freerks seconded. The motion passed on a vote of 6-0, (Koppes absent). OTHER ITEMS: Members of the Commission were given a copy of the book, "City Comforts" which Staff felt had a lot of good information regarding how important the small details were. The book provided a lot of information on how to make cities, neighborhoods and parks better. Brooks asked if members of the City Council could also receive copies. Miklo said that was possible. Miklo said items on the Commission's work program were: 1. Update of the Subdivision regulations 2. District Planning Process including the Central District and Southeast District 3. Revisit the CB-2 zone 4. Sign regulation(s) 5. Regulation of Landmark trees Some Council members had expressed a preference that the Commission reorder their district plan priority and review the Southeast District next as there was the need to address infrastructure and development activity in that area. Freerks said she recalled that the Central Planning District had been delayed in the past and was concerned about further delays. Brooks said he would like to put the work program on the next informal meeting for further discussion. Miklo said there would not be an informal meeting before the January 19 meeting due to the Martin Luther King holiday. He suggested that this could be discussed at the end of the January 19 meeting. ADJOURNMENT: Motion: Anciaux made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Smith seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6-0, (Koppes absent). The meeting was adjourned at 7:55 p.m. Elizabeth Koppes, Secretary Minutes submitted by Candy Barnhill s:/pcd/minUleslP&Z12006f01-05-06.doc ",--~~--,---~---,-,---------'~'----_._---'-----'-"--'----_._--------"-~,--_.-.-.__.__.._------_._~--~,--_.-~-,--- = Q .~ '" '" .~ 8 8 Q u"Cl OJ)_ = Q .~ <J = Cl.l Qi:::: N Cl.l o<J ;S OJ)~ ="Cl .~ = = Cl.l = - ~- --< ~ .0 .~ u ~ i:: Q ..... \0 Q Q N :g><: :x::x:!::::x xx 0 " ooor--o "'''' E ~ '" .is.''' .c::S2~~ 52::? ~><:lri V'lVJl{")lI") "'''' ,"0 0000 00 ..

He stated that they are working on getting sponsors lined up for the upcoming program, and that they should know by the February meeting where they are with this. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ACTION: A. Runway 07 Project - Earth Tech n Dave Hughes of Earth Tech was unable to attend this evening's meeting, according to Chairperson Hartwig. He stated that there is not much to report, other than the work on the culvert is continuing. He also stated that they received a letter from the F.A.A. that basically stated that they could go ahead with the plans that are in place for the coming year, which amounts to grading work and a continuation of the construction, surveys, etc. B. Aviation Commerce Park - a. Update - Harry Wolf addressed the Commission. He stated that not much has changed since last month - developers are slowly planning the Wal-Mart project, doing what they can until court hearings have taken place. He also stated that the listing with Iowa Realty Commercial is up for renewal at this time and they are requesting a one- year extension. Members asked questions of Wolf regarding interest in the property. b.

Motion passed 3-0 on a roll call vote; Farris absent. C. Airport "Operations": Strategic Plan - Implementation; Budget; and Airport Management - Hartwig noted that next month he is going to meet with the Economic Development group from the City. He stated that if any of the members wanted to join them on February 18th, to let him know. Hartwig also noted the upcoming budget meeting with the City Council, and stated that he would get more information to the members on dates, times, etc. Hartwig stated that they will be asking for money in the budget for the parking lot repairs and asked members what they thought of having pictures of the areas that need attention. Hartwig noted that he has been reviewing the applications received so far for the job opening and has been impressed so far. D. T Hangars - Consider a resolution setting a public hearing on plans and specifications for repair to the floors in Hangars B and C - Tharp noted that the project is expected to take 75 days.

Motion passed 3-0 on a roll call vote; Farris absent. E. Kim Brogan Agreement - Kim Brogan addressed the Commission. She stated that she would like to respond to the letter she received after last month's meeting in order to clear up a "miscommunication." She stated that she is no longer able to give ground school lessons on the same scale as previously, due to accepting a new position. She also gave them some background on the pipes that froze and broke recently, as well as furnace problems. She questioned the Commission as to why she was charged rent for two months when she was no longer in the building. Hartwig noted that one concern is the lease for that space, and he also noted that he did not feel that he was giving her an okay to stop her lease when he spoke with her earlier. Hartwig reiterated that the Commission would be willing to work with her, but that they could not just let her "leave" her lease as she did. Clay asked if she had a specific solution to ending her lease, and stated that the members would definitely be willing to work with her, but that the concern is the broken lease. The discussion continued with Brogan and members discussing her 2 request to break her current lease and to then do business at the Airport, in a different location. Horan asked questions about the furnace and why it was not functioning properly. (TAPE ENDS) Horan asked for some type of financial solution to breaking this lease. The discussion continued with Clay bringing up the issue of accountability on Brogan's part and stated that the Airport has to be able to recoup their loss on the deal. Clay stated that he also feels that Brogan needs to propose some type of agreement that is amenable to both of them. Brogan stated that she feels that her business has contributed to the Airport's increase in activity, and that this should be a positive factor. Tharp noted that with flight instruction, there is an expectation that this would be open at least five hours per day. Hartwig asked ifthere is always someone around, and Brogan stated that there are other instructors available if she is not, and that they have a sign-up sheet for customers to leave their name and phone number when everyone is busy. The Commission discussed the fact that they helped her to get started in her endeavor and that they cannot just let her walk away from her contract, especially since she still wants to do business on the Airport grounds. Ron Duffe commented concerning the costs Jet Air pays to the airport for the flight instruction service they provide. Staley moved that Horan and Tharp form a subcommittee aud that they entertain whatever proposal Brogan submits and that they act on behalf of the Commission, or they reject it and come to some other agreement with Brogan; seconded by Horan. Motion passed 3-0; Farris absent. F. Judgment against Rob Nichols - Dulek noted that Nichols had to leave. She stated that there are two options: the Commission could vote on his offer; or it could be deferred until February's meeting. Hartwig asked Dulek to give the members some background on this. In 2001, Nichols signed a long-term lease agreement, which he subsequently broke, and the Judge in the case gave a judgment of$8,982.72 in rent, plus interest, which now brings his total to $11,448.66. He is offering to settle this for just over half that amount. Dulek gave the members some pros and cons on accepting Mr. Nichols' offer. Hartwig moved to accept the offer as stated; seconded by Horan. Motion passed 3-0; Farris absent. G. Subcommittees' Reports - None.

Roth wanted to review the complaint process and how complaints were forwarded to the Chief and when. His main concern was if there was a step to see if the Board even had jurisdiction over the complaint before it was forwarded and initiating an investigation. After going through the code and discussing it with legal counsel, section 8-8-7 of the code says that the Board will forward all PCRB complaints to the Chief or to the City Manager when the Chief is concerned. Legal Counsel Pugh also spoke with the Sarah Holecek in the City Attorneys office and was assured that when a complaint comes in they also look at it and that the motion for summary dismissal generally comes from the Chief. Also when a complaint is filed, the Clerks office sends a cover letter along with the complaint if it appears to be untimely or not involve an Iowa City sworn police officer. Roth feels that his initial concern was answered by the City Code, Legal Counsel, and the City Attorneys office. John Kirby mentioned an article regarding a jailer in Wapello who had shot his wife and other miscellaneous incidents. He stated that he thought that the Board was a good idea because of incidents like this. Roth explained that the Board had no jurisdiction over other cities or counties. PCRB January 10, 2006 Page 2 BOARD INFORMATION Barnhill inquired about the number of in-car recording devices that are not working. Widmer stated that they are in the process of purchasing 5 new digital recording devices with grant money, which will eliminate a lot of the problems they were having with the video recording devices. Five of the digital are installed now and seem to be up and running well. They are planning to take some more grant money and finish outfitting the rest of the marked squad units so that all 17 units would have the new digital recording devices. They haven't had any problems with the digital, it's clearer and the technology is more up to date. Barnhill then asked if the officers had the ability to override the recording device and turn it off. Widmer said with the new digital device it is constantly recording, and when the red flashing lights are turned on the device backs up about 30 seconds and captures that image. The officers could shut the unit off, but they can not go back and erase. The information is downloaded onto cards and the cards are turned over to a supervisor and then downloaded into the system. Officers are being instructed to have a supervisor swap the cards out when they're about 90% full. Barnhill then inquired as to whether there is a standard procedure for interviewing parties after an event has occurred and are all new officers instructed in those procedures. Widmer explained that they have Standard Operating Procedures that govern the way that officers interview, however there is not a general order that spells out how to do interviews. Investigations/communications is something that is taught from day one at the academy as far as the way they're to conduct themselves during interviews. It's also something they train in constantly and there are special interview/interrogation schools that they send officers to. Different officers have different styles in the way that they conduct the interview. The procedure would only indicate this is the information we need and the manner in which they're to do that. Barnhill asked if it was up to the officer's discretion if there are two witnesses if they interview them separately or together. Widmer replied that it would be policy to never put two antagonistic people together, you would always try and separate for interviews so that you would have untainted interviews. Barnhill referred to Legal-05.1, Off Duty Conduct, under definitions, where it states "Officers should remove themselves from any involvement in such a situation and immediately contact on-duty personnel to handle." Widmer said the intent of that is so that you don't have an officer in an off-duty capacity take enforcement action. Or you don't have them get another uniformed officer there and have them do the work, they're supposed to remove themselves in such a way that the other officer then takes over and conducts that investigation. Engel asked if the off-duty officer could be on the scene. Widmer stated that there's nothing that says he can not, but he can't be involved in the investigation. Roth asked if the officer does not take enforcement action, is he acting in the capacity of a sworn police officer. Widmer said he believes the way you look at it is that - - --~-,..,._--_._--_._-,.~-~-_._..-'----~--' --_._~----_......._-~._-,_._._--_._~_.~._,.,_.-.._--_.---..--.....-.----....--.'---.--.---.-.- .'.. -----,.._.~~-_._-----_._-_... PCRB January 10, 2006 Page 3 STAFF INFORMATION EXECUTIVE SESSION REGULAR SESSION you're a sworn police officer 24 hours a day, but your actions that you're supposed to take are entirely different when you're off-duty as opposed to being on-duty. When an incident happens in the presence of an off-duty officer, they have the same rights as a normal citizen does to call an officer in and take care of it. To dictate to the officer on how it's going to be taken care of or to jump in and influence the way that investigations going you're getting into a grey area. Widmer believes it's improper, but if you stand back and let the officer properly handle it, it's the same rights as a citizen. Horton had a citizen come to him with a complaint on a police officer. His suggestions to the citizen were to file a complaint with the City Clerks office for the PCRB, go to the Police Chief and he could initiate an internal one, speak to the City Council during public discussion at one of the meetings, or go to the City Attorneys office. Pugh stated that if a person went to the City Attorneys office they would be directed to either the Clerks office or the Police Department. Widmer suggested that either one of the Captains or a Watch Commander instead of the Chief if the citizen was intimidated by speaking to the Chief. None. Motion by Horton and seconded by Engel to adjourn into Executive Session based on Section 21.5(1 )(a) of the Code of Iowa to review or discuss records which are required or authorized by state or federal law to be kept confidential or to be kept confidential as a condition for that government body's possession or continued receipt of federal funds, and 22.7(11) personal information in confidential personnel records of public bodies including but not limited to cities, boards of supervisors and school districts, and 22-7(5) police officer investigative reports, except where disclosure is authorized elsewhere in the Code; and 22.7(18) Communications not required by law, rule or procedure that are made to a government body or to any of its employees by identified persons outside of government, to the extent that the government body receiving those communications from such persons outside of government could reasonably believe that those persons would be discouraged from making them to that government body if they were available for general public examination.
