Subject: Welcome to City Voices
Welcome to City Voices! This is an exciting first for the Iowa League of
Cities. City Voices is designed to be an on-line community of city officials
active in League legislative issues. Our goal is to provide you up to date
information on issues and in return we ask that when requested you contact
your lawmakers to discuss the impact to your city. We would also like
members of City Voices to distribute information to other city officials and
encourage them to contact la~nakers.
In the upcoming weeks we will provide you with the League's eight
legislative priorities. Each week we will provide one priority and
background information. As the legislative session begins, we will also
provide updates to bills the League is tracking. The format will be less
formal than other League publications. We want it to have a "just the facts"
feel. As always you will still receive the Legislative Bulletin and any
action calls that are distributed, but you will be on the front lines with
you City Voices subscription.
If at anytime you would like to provide information on issues to other city
officials on the network, please feel free to respond, but remember all the
members of the City Voices comaunity will receive your message. We don't
want anyone to leave City Voices because they are receiving too many emails.
It's also possible to consider emails as open records, so please keep your
responses constructive.
The League believes that City Voices will make an impact in relations
between state and local officials. As the network continues to grow, so does
the unified voice of city officials. Thank you for being part of the
League's grass roots efforts. We look forward to meeting everyone at the
January 3rd City Voices Advocacy Training in Des Moines. Details on the
training session will be forthcoming this month.

RE: . Disturbance Call/Disorderly House
The following is a typjca} police response to a call for service requesting police intervention
into a loud pady or disturbance incident.
The call is typically dispatched via radio, however occasionally, in-person requests are
made directly to a patrol officer.
A police officer responds to the suspect address and makes an assessment regarding the
legitimacy of the complaint. The officer typically uses an assessment that determines
whether the noise or disturbance can be heard across property lines or from adjacent
propedjes.
The police officer makes contact with the person in charge of, or in control of the suspect
residence. Typically this is a resident/residents of the suspect address.
The officer notifies the person in charge of the residence of the fact that a noise complaint
has been received and that the police have responded to make the resident(s) aware of
that complaint. The officer also directs the resident(s) to take steps to cause the
disturbance to cease and aleds the resident(s) that subsequent responses by the police
department to founded noise or disturbance complaints can result in Disorderly House
citations being issued to those resident(s) or persons in charge of that property.
If officers are summoned to the property again, a misdemeanor City Code violation is
issued to those person(s) identified as residents/persons in charge of the property.
Typically, these citations are signed in the presence of the officer and the person(s) are
released on their signature. Subsequent responses to the same address on founded
complaints typically result in those residents/persons in charge being arrested and taken
to the County Jail.
Variations from the above "normal" response may include the resident of the suspect address
requesting that officers assist them in clearing the property of party goers. This typically
occurs when a resident realizes that their party has gotten out of control or larger than they
are able to manage. In this case, the resident makes an announcement to persons in
attendance that the event is over and that they are requested to move off the suspect
properly. Failure to do so can result in the issuance of a criminal trespass citation to those
who remain on the property.
Obviously, repeat trips to addresses, that is, a chronically disruptive location, may not receive
the courtesy notification referenced above. This is a discretionary call on the officers pad and
is based on their knowledge of the existence of several prior calls to the suspect address. The
scope of the disturbance may also cause the responding officer(s) to amend their "typical"
response.

From: Joe Fowler, D~rector Parking & Transit
Chris O'Brien, Parking Manageri2~°
Reference: Old Capitol Town Center Request
October 25, 2001 Kerry Sanders, General Manager for Old Capitol Town Center,
requested the no parking 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. parking restriction in the Capitol Street
Ramp be reinstated. This restriction was implemented and eliminated in the past at the
request of Old Capitol Town Center and the Downtown Association. This restriction
eliminated parking on the bottom three levels of the facility Monday through Friday. It
was enforced by issuing five-dollar no parking tickets to people who parked on the lower
floors. The ticket was in addition to the regular fee for parking.
August 7, 1992 the City implemented a parking restriction on the lower three levels of the
Capitol Street Ramp at the request of the then owners of the Old Capitol Mall and the
Downtown Association. This restriction was to reserve these levels for shoppers at 10:00
when the majority of the retail shops opened. This restriction was in place until April of
2000. At that time the new owners of Old Capitol Town Center and the Downtown
Association requested it be eliminated. The DTA stated "this arrangement is no longer
desirable and is confusing and even annoying to many customers." The Old Capitol
Town Center stated "There are Old Capitol Town Center tenants and several downtown
businesses that open earlier than 10:00 A.M. and we feel the change would better
accommodate their customers. Lifting the restriction would not only relieve the need for
it's administration for the garage staff, but also significantly reduce the number of tickets
issued to Capitol Street ramp patrons."
During the time the restriction was in place there was an overall reduction in usage.
While ramp usage remained consistent while Old Capitol Mall was fully rented there was
a decline in usage since 1998. The first month after the restriction was eliminated hourly
revenue in the Capitol Street Ramp increased $7,000 representing an increase of 14,000
hours of parking. Park & Shop usage dropped about $800 per month but that is
consistent with previous years.
In addition to the revenue loss caused by the restriction the City received much negative
publicity as a result of the tickets issued before 10:00 a.m. While the restriction was at
the request of the merchants the City was blamed for it. When customers called the mall
office they were told the mall had no control as the ramp was a City facility. During the
time of the restriction merchants continually had sales that started before 10:00 further
compounded the problem. Shoppers came ea~y, got tickets and complained that the
stores opened early so the restriction should be waved.
At the present time the Capitol Street Ramp serves over 2500 customers per day. The
average stay per customer is two hours. These numbers indicate that each parking place
in the facility turns over in excess of five times per day. There is an average of 300 of the
875 spaces in the Capitol Street Ramp vacant at 10:00 a.m. Monday through Friday.
In a continuing effort to meet the needs of all users of the City of Iowa City's public
parking system and because of the continued high turn over rate on parking spaces we
recommend that there be no parking restriction placed on the lower levels of the Capitol
Street Ramp.

Dear Kerry,
I have reviewed your request to restrict parking on the lower three floor of the Capitol
Street Ramp and I can not recommend it to the Iowa City City Council at this time. The
City has previously implemented and eliminated this restriction at the request of
memhants. During the time it was implemented there was constant confusion on the part
of the public and many parking tickets were issued. This resulted in much negative
publicity for the City as the Old Capitol Mall told customers there was nothing they could
do about the tickets as it was a City facility. Additional problems were caused when
merchants ran promotions that started before 10:00 a.m.
In addition to the past problems with tickets the City has a financial obligation to our
bondholders. Imposing any restriction on the Capitol Street Ramp that would negatively
impact users and effect revenue would have an impact on our ability to meet our bonding
obligations.
The City is willing to continue to explore operational options with you but any changes
can not result in negative publicity or substantial revenue loss to the parking system.

Dear Joe:
On bcba~ of the Tenants a~ Old Cap/aft Town Cemer and Gmbb and Ellis~fid-Amer~c~, I wouM like to
thank the City of Iowa City for their time, consideration and sensitivity to our concerns over the parkin~
issues in the Capitol Street Parking Parkade. We have appreciated those efforts in the past, and we are
asking far changes to ore' current circumstances. As you are awar~ we are undergoing major ranovations to
the Omter, providing a home for the IX, ansit Facility, creating patron access through our Clinton s/feet
side, and careating an entirely new facade appearance package, including lit sconces, banners and new logo
Weatments. In connection with the City' s renovations, a new downtown is emerging
As it currently exists, the Clinton S~'ect Parkade fills immediately upon open. If this were with downtown
shoppers, there would b~ no Concern, but as we all know, the most convenient areas (the lower three levels
closest to fixe Cer~ter), are being filled with non-shoppers. This has an immediate, negative impact on our
current Shoppers and Tenants and inhibits our ability to attract new Tenants and Shoppers to the area. Our
fixture is an integral part of the donton fixture.
We are proposing the closure of the lower three levels of the Clinton Sl~,et Parkade closest to the Center
prior to the 2001 Sbeppiltg Season, specifically November 19, 200 1, This closure would take place until
10:00am, Monday through Friday. We will accomplish this in the following ways:
* Working with the City, physically blocking these space to mininlize any confusion
, Advertise the change in all local newspapers
· Distn'bute the change to the University
· Indicate the change through signing in the facility
· Initiating a grace period, issdingwarninglicketsfaralwoweekperied
Old Capitol Town Center. and the Downtown Association beth feel this would be a positive clumge to our
current shopping atmosphere. Again, we thank you for your consideration and we look forward to
implementing these changes.

The merchants of Old Capitol Town Center and the Downtown Assodation of
Iowa City Board request that the current parking restrictions before
10:00A. M. at the Capitol Street ramp be eliminated.
As you know, the fu-st two levels of the Capitol Street parking ramp are
currently restricted to patrons enterinn after 10:00 A.M- We would like to
see this eliminated thus permitting parkln~ on any level at any time of the
day.
There are Old Capitol Town Center tenants and several downtown
businesses that open earlier than 10:00 A-M- and we feel the change would
better accomnlodate their customers. Lifting this restriction would not only
relieve the need for lt's administration for the garage staff, but also
siflni~cantly reduce the nlL'nber of tickets issued to Capitol Street ralnp
patrons.
We at Old Capitol Town Center appredate your prompt action on this
matter.

Dear Joe,
Several years ago the Downtown Association petitioned the City to prohibit parking on the first two floors
of the Capitol Street Ramp before I0 am. We hoped to discourage long term parking on the lower levels
and have them free for the convenience of shceOpers. Recently we have found that this arrangemere is no
longer desirable and is confusing and even annoying to many customers. We would like to ask that yon
rescind the prohibition and allow parking throughout the ramp 24 hours a day.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Memorandum
To: Steve Arkins
From: Ron O'Neil
Date: November 2, 2001
Re: Aviation services
On November 1, the Airport Commission signed a five-year agreement with Jet Air, Inc., from
Galesburg, Illinois, to provide aviation services for the Airport. This is a full service company
that will provide flight training, aircraft rental, fueling services, mechanic services and aircraft
charter. The company does extensive charter in the health service industry, flying patients and
donor organ flights fur hospitals throughout Illinois. They charter some flights with the
University of Iowa Hospitals and would like to build on that parmership.
Jet Air anticipates starting with four full-time employees and building to a staff of 12-15 within
six months. They have 37 employees at their office in Galesburg and have been in business at the
Galesburg Airport since 1969,
Jet Air will lease of Fzces in the Terminal Building and use Building F for their aircraft storage,
maintenance and avionics repair. Their lease begins on January 1, 2002, butthey would be ready
to start sooner if the current FBO, IOW Aero, would like out of their lease sooner. lOW Aero
will remain on the Airport and lease Building D. They will operate as an aero dub and may
suboontraet some services from Jet Air.
After Jet Air is in town and has a little time to get established, I would like the oppommity to
introduce them to the Council, We could do that at a Council meeting or Jet Air will probably
have an open house to introduce themselves to the community.

Dear Chuck and Dennis:
This is in response to your letter of September 28, 2001. In your letter you requested that the
Zoning Code Interpretation Panel (ZCIP) overturn its March 31, 2000 decision. I have discussed
this request with the other two members of the panel and we have determined to not overturn
the March 31, 2000 ZCIP decision. Therefore, the building permit applications submitted March
10 and 13, 2000 for 403 S. Lucas Street and 619 Burlington Street cannot be approved.
Also you have requested that the matter be discussed before the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the City Council. The appeal procedure for the Zoning Code Interpretation
Panel decision is specified in the Iowa City Zoning Code and is to the Zoning Board of
Adjustment, You should contact the City Clerk's office for the necessary materials to make
application to the Board of Adjustment.
If you wish to propose specific legislation for consideration before the Planning and Zoning
Commission and subsequently the City Council, you should forward a draft copy to the
Department of Planning and Community Development. However, staff would not suppod any

Approval of Minutes of September 20, 2001
Minutes for the September 20 meeting were approved as submitted.
Discussion Reqardinq Proposed Amendment to the CITY STEPS Plan to Increase the Earmark for
Economic Development Activities to 9%
David Schoon apprised the committee of a public hearing before the Housing and Community
t
Development Commission (HCDC) on the evening of October 18 h. The purpose of this hearing was to
review an action from HCDC's last meeting where the group voted not to change the amount earmarked
for economic development from 5% to 9%. This same item will appear on the agenda at the City Council's
first meeting in November.
Schoon stated that if the Council decides not to go with HCDC's recommendation, and instead decides to
change the amount of CDBG funds earmarked for economic development from 5% to 9%, then the
Council will need to decide from where the 4% increase for economic development will come. Schoon
recommended that the Committee give some thought to that question. After some discussion of whet, her
or not the Committee should discuss this issue, Lehman suggested that they wait until the Council has
made its decision. If the Council decides to increase the percentage of funds for economic development,
then the Council can decide the process by which it wilt be determined from where that percentage
increase will come. Vanderhoef and Wilbum agreed.
Presentation by Joe Raso, ICAD, Reclarding ICAD's Business Visitation Program and. The Council
Economic Development Committee's Involvement
Joe Raso, representing Iowa City, Area Development ({CAD), presented to the Committee general
information about Synchronist, a survey tool being provided by MidAmerican Energy that provides an
opportunity to gather information from local businesses thus revealing trends within the industries
represented. The software system was developed by a psychologist and includes a set of non-threatening
questions to be answered in interviews between business representatives and ICAE~ representatives. This
tool has been used in such places as Dubuque and Davenport with great success. Nearby cities such as
Waterloo and Cedar Falls are looking into this program as well.
Raso explained the many strengths of this survey tool and distributed sample questionnaires as well as
training manuals. The question was put to the Committee whether this was something that they would like
to pursue and provide interviewers for. The answer came back an overwhelming affirmative.
Discussion took place as to whether this would take the place of the Committee's current one on one
interviews with businesses. After some thought, it was decided that both programs have their merits and
have different goals. The Synchronist program reveals trends while the one on one interviews provide
vital links to the community. It was decided that both would be implemented.
Stacey Bedford from Joe Raso's office will contact the Committee concerning scheduling.

Update - Business Outreach Proqram - Major Employer Visits
Lehman commented that he enjoyed himself on these business calls far more than he had expected.
Wilburn commented that he felt that they were beneficial because they put a face on the Council, to which
Lehman responded that they also put a face with a major employer such as Oral B.
Review of Any Business Development Proposal Not Previously Listed on the A,qenda
None
Other Business
Arkins stated that he would distribute the State's 2010 report at the next meeting.
Arkins pointed out the likelihood that State budget cuts would reveal a loss of state funding for Iowa City
and all Iowa cities. Lehman responded that the universities are ~he single largest factor for building a
stronger Iowa for the future, so he doesn't understand how the state can impose such large funding cuts
on the universities.
Adjournment
As there was no other business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:34 AM ,,
