Welcome and Introductions: Mayor Wilburn welcomed everyone and asked them to go around the table and introduce themselves. Ronsine Summit: Andy Johnson handed out a brochure that he had prepared for the Housing Summit Task Force. He went on to briefly discuss the information presented in the brochure, fielding questions from those in attendance. He spoke of the Task Force that he is a member of and stated that they are working on a proposal for a Housing Summit that would bring together both elected leaders, representatives ofthe business community, and representatives ofthe non-profit community. Johnson stated that it would first be important that they have a discussion about housing to learn some of the facts, such as, what the situation is in Johnson County; to hear viewpoints ofthe situation that elected leaders or business leaders or non-profits are addressing; and then begin the conversation about what steps are needed to move forward in order to address these issues. He stated Minutes Joint Meeting-April 12, 2006 Page 2 that the Task Force hopes to schedule the Summit for sometime in the fall- perhaps October or early November. Johnson stated that currently they would like to hear comments and feedback on what others feel would be important to address at this Summit. Local Option Sales Tax: Dr. Pete Wallace addressed those present regarding a local option sales tax by stating that earlier this year, the Solon School District had approached the Iowa City Community School District and all other school districts in Johnson County, about the possibility of the option of a vote on what is known as a "silo," which is basically a I-cent sales tax. He gave a brief history on the "silo" and the options that go along with it, stating that the School District will be starting a campaign to communicate and educate the public on this tax. Connie Champion slated that it would be a "tough sale" as people view sales tax as regressive in nature. Tom Gill stated that he feels this is a "great idea" and spoke also of the need for a Joint Communications Center. Rod Sullivan stated that he completely disagrees with the sales tax idea, as it truly is regressive. All ofthe attendees weighed in on the local option sales tax and the uses for this new "funding stream." A brief discussion centered on increasing property taxes versus adding a local option sales tax. When asked if this will be on the November ballot, Wallace stated that they will most likely go for a special ballot, and that they would not put it on the School Board election ballot, as this would be a mistake. Wallace stated that he would prefer it not be swallowed up in the general election ballot either. Iowa River LandinI! PIanninl!

New Health and Human Services Buildinl!: Mike Lehman was present to talk about the newly planned Health and Human Services Building. This new building will house Human Health, Developmental Disabilities, MHDD, the Board of Health, Veterans Affairs, and Juvenile Justice. He stated that the idea is to bring those all under one roof and have one point of service for those who access these services the most. Familv Resource Center Cooperative: Lane Plugge stated that the School District is looking to expand the Family Resource Center services at both Lucas and Roosevelt Elementary Schools. Plugge stated that the District has submitted a grant that they plan to help fund this project with. They are also looking for other dollars to piece together for this, but Plugge stated that the ongoing operations of these centers will be dependent on extending existing partnerships they currently have. Plugge also stated that he and the School District would like to thank Minutes Joint Meeting-April 12, 2006 Page 3 everyone present, as they have been very important partners in the creation and the operation of these Family Resource Centers.
