W81=6 ECONOMY I JUNE 8. 2011 Faded Malls Leave Cities in the Lurch Switch to Online Shopping Undermines a Leading Revenue Source, Sales Taxes By MIGUEL BUSTILLO And KRIS HUDSON American cities, long reliant on sales -tax revenue from retailers to support municipal budgets, are facing a harsh reckoning as the era of the shopping center as municipal cash cow appears to be at an end. Brian Ulrich Malls have been hit in recent years by the closing of such anchor stores as electronics retailer Circuit City, Sales taxes are a critical source of funding for many cities, typically second in size only to property taxes. They accounted for roughly 23% of all U.S. state and local tax collection in 20o8, the latest year available, according to the Census Bureau. But big U.S. retailers are feeling the effects of a cautious consumer, pinched by the rise in gasoline and food prices, as well as by high unemployment. Consumer spending rose just 0.4% in April, the latest month for which data are available. Last week, many retail chains, including Target Corp., reported lackluster May sales. Municipal sales -tax receipts have declined in six of the past 10 years, compared with the year before, according to the National League of Cities, including drops of 6.6% in 20og and 5% in 2010. That has city leaders from Texas to California waking up to the likelihood their sales -tax decline isn't just a result of the bad economy. Instead, it is problem that will persist after a recovery, as demand for retail complexes is whittled by online shopping and the waning popularity of the big -box store selling everything from groceries to electronics. pictured, and Linens 'n Things. "I am not sure cities can go back to playing the retail game the way they have over the past 25 years," said William Fulton, mayor of Ventura, Calif., and editor of the California Planning and Development Report newsletter. For decades, cities have engaged in an escalating competition with their civic neighbors to encourage the building of bigger and bolder shopping palaces —often with public subsidies —to enlarge their coffers. While some cities report sales -tax receipts are improving so far in 2011 as consumer spending comes back, it could take years for http: / /online.wsj.comlarticle /SB 10001424052702304432304576371692602593296 .html ?m... 6/8/2011 Faded Malls Hurt Cities' Tax Revenues - WSJ.com#printMode Brian Ulrich Linens 'n Things Page 2 of 3 the revenue to return to pre- recession levels, and a glut of retail vacancies threatens the municipal revenue - building strategy of "build it and they will come." The vacancy rate has reached 9.1% for malls, the most since 19go, and 1o.9% for smaller, outdoor strip centers, which is expected to hit a 21 -year peak this year, according to researcher Reis Inc. The mall vacancies are highest in Reis's Midwestern markets such as Oklahoma City, where they hit 25 %, and Southern metro areas such as Columbia, S.C., where they were 23 %. Independence, Mo., a suburb of 120,000 outside Kansas City, Mo., is confronting the decline of malls as a revenue source. Six years ago, civic leaders there envisioned a sales -tax bonanza from a shopping mall called "The Falls at Crackerneck Creek" and backed $74 million in bonds for its construction. But the center, which includes a Bass Pro Shops Inc. outdoors -gear store, remains unfinished and isn't generating the tax revenue expected to retire the bonds. Two nearby cities built competing malls that have become more successful, siphoning some of the regional customers that Independence hoped to attract. In March, Independence spent more than $3.5 million of public funds to cover the center's debt payments. Last month, city leaders proposed laying off six workers and requiring others to take unpaid furloughs in anticipation of having to pay an additional debt payment of $4 million —or 6% of the city's budget. "We had a good partner in a major national retailer," says Independence City Manager Robert Heacock. "But the development did not come together in the way we anticipated." Sliding Sales, Tumbling Taxes Change from Ixevnai; yaar In ritlni silr s-tax mtelpts The local development team that built the shopping center didn't respond to requests for comment. Retail and government - finance experts largely agree that municipalities thirsting for sales taxes played a role in America's retail glut. Cities used zoning power to encourage retail districts and financed shopping- center infrastructure such as freeway off - ramps. To win over retailers and developers, some cities agreed to share sales -tax revenue with them. a Im Ion 10, While the number of Americans grew 52% from 1970 to 2010, ar. n,lu. n.«, ■M. the amount of store space jumped 126% according to real- estate research firm CoStar Group Inc., which estimates the country has 50 square feet of retail per person. Now,the growth of online shopping, which has accelerated since the recession, is leading many retail chains to slow store openings and invest instead in better websites and mobile -phone applications, reducing the demand for real estate. Retailers such as Office Depot Inc. and Best Buy Co., which declared in April that it plans to reduce its existing square footage by 10 %, are renegotiating leases and shrinking on purpose in a belief that consumer spending habits will keep evolving toward smaller brick - and -mortar stores and nearly limitless online bazaars._ "Our customers have spoken loud and clear: The big -box era is over for them, they value convenience and speed, and they are voting with their wallet," said Kevin Peters North American retail president of Office De )oj which is testing stores that measure ri,000 square feet —a fraction of the retailer's typical 24,000- square -foot stores. http: / /online.wsj.comlarticle /SB 10001424052702304432304576371692602593296 .html ?m... 6/8/2011 Faded Malls Hurt Cities' Tax Revenues - WSJ.com #printMode Page 3 of 3 Some landlords are finding success converting storefronts into government facilities, and retail experts predict entrepreneurs will find other novel uses for vacant spaces. One recently turned a former Circuit City in Houston into a gun range. But such uses, while reducing blight, don't typically make up for the revenue cities lose when stores close. Despite struggling with budget problems in the recession, Tracy, Calif., leaders decided last year that the solution to keeping the city's struggling West Valley Mall alive was to pay Macy's Inc. $2.7 million to move in. "Look, the bottom line is that if you can stop sales -tax leakage to other communities, you are going to be better off, especially during times like this when your other revenue is cut thin," said Tracy Mayor Brent Ives. "We had to do something to demonstrate that the mall was going to remain viable."

Markus, City Manager From: Jeff Vanatter, Housing Rehabilitation Office Re: Housing Rehabilitation program overview and update The Housing Rehabilitation program provides guidance and financial assistance to help residents maintain and update their homes. This assistance provides low and moderate income homeowners the opportunity to make repairs to their homes that enable them to stay living in their homes and helps to maintain Iowa City's housing stock. The Housing Rehabilitation Program administers two major programs: 1) the federally- funded (CDBG & HOME) housing rehabilitation program, and 2) the General Rehabilitation and Improvement Program (GRIP). In addition to these programs, the Housing Rehabilitation staff has assisted with the administration of the State and Federal Jumpstart Disaster Recovery Housing Repair assistance programs to help with recovery from the Flood of 2008. An additional program that staff is administering is the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership program. Staff is also conducting salvage inspections and final walkthrough inspections of all flood buyout properties, as well as, providing code inspection and lead inspection services to all sub - recipients of the City of Iowa City's CDBG and HOME funds. As of May 12, 2011, we have expended $109,056 in project costs and administration on 16 CDBG- funded projects, with the average median income for these households being 29 %. We have committed approximately $24,000 to other projects that are started or are about to begin. The Rehab Office has expended $112,270 in project costs and administration on 3 HOME - funded projects, with the average median income for these households being 43 %. We have committed approximately $72,000 to other projects that are started or are about to begin. Under GRIP, we have expended $97,578 in project costs on 5 projects. The average median income for these households was 67 %. In addition, we have committed approximately $96,000 to other projects that are started or are about to begin. Following are some examples of projects funded through the GRIP, CDBG and HOME Programs over the past year: • Building and installation of entrance ramps and many bathroom and other modifications to enable those with disabilities to continue to live in their homes as independently as possible. • Emergency repairs such as furnace replacements, water heater replacements, roof repairs and electrical repairs to remove safety hazards and to limit the damage to the property. • Replacement of windows, doors, and heating and ventilation systems with more energy efficient systems and materials to help reduce energy costs. • Assorted other repairs that address code or historic preservation issues. Beginning in December of 2008, until this point in FY11, staff has expended $869,500 in Federal Jumpstart housing flood repair assistance for 18 households. The State Jumpstart housing flood repair assistance program closed in December, 2010. From December of 2008, until the program closing in December of 2010, staff expended nearly $2.4 million for 88 households. The State and Federal Jumpstart assistance helped those affected by the floods in the following ways: Reimbursement for flood - related structural repairs and payment for ongoing structural repairs. Down payment assistance to assist in the purchase of a new home in Iowa City that is not located in the flood plain. Interim mortgage assistance to provide assistance in paying for the mortgage, property taxes, flood insurance or homeowner's insurance on the flood- impacted property. Since the flood buyout program began, staff has provided salvage valuation inspections and final walkthrough inspections on 70 properties that have been or will be purchased as part of one of the various flood buyout programs. The City has purchased 14 of the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership's program's 25 homes and, as of May 6, 2011, four homes have been sold to qualifying households. Work continues on most of the properties we currently own and the City is working with prospective buyers for the 2 completed homes that we have left. The 11 homes yet to be acquired have all been identified and have accepted purchase offers in place. They will be purchased in June, July and August. All work must be completed by December 31, 2011. Most of the homes in the program have had the following items addressed through replacement or repair: • Total demolition and replacement of bathrooms and kitchens. • Updating of the electrical systems including the outlets, fixtures and wiring. • Updating of the plumbing systems. • Installation of high- efficiency heating and air conditioning systems. • Interior and exterior painting. • Re- grading of yards to enable proper drainage away from the home. Staff also provided code inspection and lead paint inspection services and guidance to other City departments and to sub - recipients of the City's CDBG or HOME entitlement funds in FY11.

On behalf of all the North Side businesses I would like to thank the City of Iowa City for approving and executing such a great enhancement to our neighborhood. There are a lot of people to thank for this project and I am afraid that I don't even know some of them by name. So please forward our thanks to the appropriate people. Thank you Mayor Matt Hayek, the current and previous City Council, for the approval of the project even in such tough financial times. Thank you to the Planing & Community Development and the Public Works Departments for planing and executing this project. Very special thank you to Regenia Bailey and Wendy Ford who met with us business owners a few years ago and agreed that we had a point in asking for some changes in our developing business district and pushed hard for it moving forward. Wendy Ford was there for us through the whole planing process and made sure everyone is in the loop and in agreement of what is being planned. Last but not least, a very special thank you to Rob Decker, who was there for us every minute of this project, day and night, rain or shine with all the necessary information, coordination and solutions when we needed it. It is not easy to be out there in high heat or a huge rain storm and still respond to requests and complaints from us, business owners, in a very timely manner. Rob is definitely an asset to the City of Iowa City Public Work Department. Regards, Naftaly Stramer Owner, Oasis Falafel 206 N.

Iowa City's reputa- tion as a writers' capital led it to be named a UNESCO City of Literature in 2008 — just the third award of its kind at the time, and the first city in the United States to receive the recognition. Writers who have been selected for the Northside Marketplace project represent a variety of genres, including writings by fiction and non - fiction authors as well as poets and playwrights. More than 200 writers were nued on next page Street sign toppers, designed by Iowa City artist John Coyne, will be part of the City's new public art project, which extends the Literary Walk to Northside Marketplace.

Sculptures of writing implements and reading glasses will also be created for the project. The works will be displayed on both sides of Linn Street, between Jefferson and Bloomington Streets, in the North- side Marketplace. Artists for the project will be Steve Maxon and Doris Park of Max -Cast in Kalona, and Iowa City artist John Coyne, all of whom have produced cast bronze pieces for the Iowa City Public Art program in the past. Max - Cast created the statue of Irving We- ber that is displayed on Iowa Avenue, while Coyne's street sign toppers have brought a unique artistic ele- ment to the Goosetown and North- side neighborhoods. The public art project is part of a major streetscape redesign currently underway in the Northside Market- place, a renovation that northside businesses had requested in an effort to improve aesthetics and to repair sidewalks in the area.The project was designed by the Iowa City office of Confluence, a landscape architecture and urban design firm. Funding of approximately $500,000 came from the City's Capital Improve- ments Budget, while the $70,000 cost of the new Literary Walk has been paid for by an Iowa Great Places grant from the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs. The project will be completed by the end of June. For more information, contact Mar- cia Bollinger, City of Iowa City Public Art Coordinator, at 319.356.5237 or marcia - bollinger @iowa- city.org.

At the recommendation of the Eco- nomic Development Committee, the City Council unanimously approved a $250,000 grant for Marc Moen for redevelopment of a building he pur- chased at 118 E. College Street. The site was previously home to Vito's, a bar that closed earlier this year that had occupied the space since the ear- ly 1970s. Funds for the grant will come from a Tax Increment Financing (TIF), and are expected to pay for about 12.5% of the project's total $2 million ex- pense. Moen plans to completely gut both floors of the 9,061 sq. ft. build- ing, and convert the first floor to retail space and the second floor to high -end offices. In addition to gutting and rehabilitat- ing the space, renovations will include replacing the roof and installing new heating, ventilation, and air condition- ing equipment, as well as an elevator. For more information, contact Wen- dy Ford, Economic Development Co- ordinator, at wen dy-ford @i owa-city. org or 319.356.5248. The new face of downtown The building at 118 E. College Street that formerly housed Vito's will undergo a major renovation as owner Marc Moen converts the first floor to retail space and the second floor, which has not been used in recent years, to high -end offices.The building, as shown in the photo of the windows and brick exterior below, is currently in poor condition.The City has provided a $250,000 grant to assist with the project, which is expected to cost $2 million.

The Planner, June 2011 — page I I NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES �- T _«„� TT MARKET P LAC E The Grant Wood School gym was buzzing with activity earlier this spring, as three off - season Farmers' Markets — called the "Grant Wood Market Place" — were held. The events drew many popular Iowa City Farmers Market vendors as well as newcomers who offered everything from prepared foods and baked goods to clothing and purses, art work, and bath and body items for sale. Response to the markets, both by vendors and shoppers, is now being evaluated to gauge the level of community interest in a year -round or winter market. The special markets were coordinated by the City of Iowa City Neighborhood Services Division and the Grant Wood Neighborhood Association, with the support of the Iowa City Farmers Market. For more information, contact Neighborhood Services Coordinator Marcia Bollinger at 319.356.5237 or e-mail marcia - bollinger @iowa - city.org.

IOWA CITY COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE CLEAR CREEK AMANA COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT Wednesday, May 18, 2011 City Hall in Coralville; Council Chambers 4:30 PM Mayor Jim Fausett of Coralville called the meeting to order at 4:30 P.M. He then welcomed everyone to the meeting and invited everyone seated at the table to introduce themselves. Johnson County Board of Supervisors present: Sullivan, Stutsman Iowa City Council present: Mayor Hayek, Dickens, Mims, Wright (Staff: Markus, Patel, Karr, Helling, Davidson) Coralville Council present: Mayor Fausett, Gill, Weihe, Lundell (Staff: Hayworth, Johnson) North Liberty Council present: Mayor Salm, Kuhl, Chipman Tiffin Council present: Mayor Phillips Iowa City Community School District Board: Dorau (Staff: Murley) Guests: Iowa State Representative Dave Jacoby, Brad Neumann & Kent Ralston of the Metropolitan Planning Organization of Johnson County, Barbara Beaumont of the League of Women Voters, Dan Weise, Nick Benson, Amal Eltahir and Adam Plugge. "'North Liberty Transit and Community Survey" presented by Dan Wiese (North Liberty) Dan Weise presented his results for the "North Liberty Transit and Community Survey." The survey was done by mail to 1,005 random households in North Liberty and received 33% back in one mailing that gave a 95 %sampling tolerance of +/- 6%. They,explained 4 different types of public transit which included fixed route, demand responsive, van pool and car pool. Fixed route had the highest interest and most likelihood to be used. Weekdays in the early morning and late afternoon were the most common times buses would be used. They would use the fixed route service to go to featured destinations. Most who would use the bus would pay 75 cents and 10% would pay $4 or more. 15% would walk 4 blocks to use it. The survey also addressed other issues, which helped increase the response. They rated the streets as good, snow removal as good, the Highway 965 Project was good and a large percentage said it should continue, the quality of the water was good, value of water and sewer service was average, parks were good, park facilities good, programs good. The survey measured interest in park facilities with trails rated with the highest interest to band shells and stages receiving a low interest. Park Shelter components were important. Residents preferred covered open air shelters over enclosed ones with air conditioning and heat. There was high interest in rental space for family activities and miniature golf and low interest in pickle ball. Government accessibility was rated somewhat accessible for Mayor and Council and City Staff was rated very accessible. A majority of residents rated North Liberty's growth as just right and a little over a third said it was too fast. Support for Library expansion was 23% approved, 37% rated it as important, 9% were neutral and only 5% were against it. This was not meant to be a fully comprehensive survey and it cost $2,600 and the City paid for the printing and postage costs for the survey. Discussion on Green House Gas Reduction and Sustainability Goals (Johnson County) Johnson County Supervisor Sullivan reported the Sierra Club created a Cool Cities Program a few years ago and he thought everyone has done some work on it, but he wanted to know how things are being coordinated. Ken Ralston with the MPOJC reported the program is now known as the Community Climate Taskforce. The program steps are first to determine greenhouse gas emissions for the governmental entity, then the community creates an action plan and finally they follow through with the action plan. Johnson County has completed their action plan and is reducing their emissions, Iowa City has calculated their emissions and is working on their action plan, and there are different levels of commitment by the other communities. The MPOJC is acting as a sounding board for local air quality issues and are a good resource on related concerns and issues. When all the communities finish their action plans the MPOJC will put them under one cover. North Liberty Councilperson Gerry Kuhl reported North Liberty is part of the Alliant Home Energy Project, which is looking at what they can do to change their carbon footprint and make people aware of changing their behavior. They began meeting in February. Tax Increment Financing (Johnson County) Johnson County Supervisor Sullivan passed around a Johnson County Auditor's Office annual document on TIFs, which is on the Auditor's webpage under real estate. It gives facts on how large TIFs are and where they are. Weihe asked is it showed the overall growth of the County tax receipts. Sullivan responded it did not, but that information was also on the website. Sullivan just wanted to provide some factual information because TIFs have been discussed a lot lately. Iowa City Mayor Matt Hayek reported Iowa City adopted an Economic Development Policy at last night's Council Meeting and passed it out to everyone. It outlines how they will use TIF and other options available for economic development. This includes not providing economic incentives to businesses located in the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) unless they are seeking to expand or considering relocation outside of the state. They will inform communities in the MSA if a business is looking to move from them to Iowa City. Legislative Update (Johnson County) Iowa State Representative Dave Jacoby gave a brief summary of the current session which is currently working on property taxes and the budget. There is gridlock in the State Senate over the commercial property tax bill; 2% allowable growth of schools and early childhood universal preschool. Jacoby noted the biggest job creation bill passed this year was to run background checks on ice cream truck drivers. The property tax bill will affect everyone here and constituents the most. Iowa City Community School District Board Member Tuyat Dorau thanked Jacoby and the State House for their work on passing the 2% allowable growth of schools that is vitally needed to maintain quality education. Jacoby discussed the commercial property tax bill that would cut commercial property taxes by 40% over five years, which results in over $500,000,000 in lost revenue for local governments and schools. There is a 50% to 80% promise to backfill that lost from personal income tax. The bill also wants to cap any tax increase by local and school governments to make up the loss and it will define and protect essential services. There are a couple of other proposals on the table to minimize the effect of the bill. Jacoby noted he has asked for and not seen one example of were reducing commercial taxes increases employment. He warned everyone they need to take a position on the property tax changes because they will affect everyone. This bill is the number one priority of the Governor. The number one priority of State Senate Democrats is focusing on the 2% allowable growth for schools. There is a very real possibility the property tax bill will pass. Jacoby pointed out this bill will allow a new business in a brand new building to automatically get a 40% discount in taxes while an established business will have to wait 5 years to get the full 40% off. Jacoby stated commercial properties deserve a tax break, but this bill is very hard on local government's budgets. There was discussion on the backfill aspects of the property tax bill and how history has proven that money doesn't always get paid. Jacoby suggested everyone voice their concerns to the Governor and leader of State Senate and their local state representatives. Coralville Mayor Jim Fausett thanked Jacoby for his update. "Overview of the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts" presented by Megan Flanagan (Coralville) Managing Director Megan Flanagan of the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts reported the mission of the center is to provide an affordable, accessible and flexible rental space for performing groups, businesses and schools and other organizations and individuals in the region so that they have a professionally run facility that will take care of their needs and provide a nice experience for their audience members. They are not looking to be a presenter, promoter or producer on their own, but are trying to provide community space for another venue. Flanagan explained the building is a public /private partnership with the theater portion and the private portion which contains three floors of commercial space and three floors of residential space. The main lobby space and elevators will be shared. Flannigan explained how they are working to have the center LEED certified. Flannigan went on to describe the fly tower, catwalk system, trap room, orchestra pit, the stage, lighting and sound system, green room and dressing rooms, video and audio monitors. The audience will have clear sight lines and even the back row will feel close to the stage and the acoustics will maximize the sound quality of the facility. The center will provide full box office and marketing services to help users grow their audience bases. Interior construction should be completed by July 1st. Installation of the lighting and sound systems, the lift and other theatrical equipment will take place in July and August. Opening weekend will be August 26th through August 28th. There will be more information on opening events soon. The first production will be Hairspray by City Circle Acting will be September 9th through September 18th and they will have most of their season at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts. Other theater companies will also use the facility this year. Coralville Schools and Partnership Schools have been offered free use of the facility up to 3 times year. A private school has booked the center for their annual musicals. West music will have a piano concert in September as part of their Steinway Extravaganza. Regional orchestra, opera companies, dance companies and schools of dance are interested in having recitals and full blown productions. The center will be one of the locations for Hancher events while it is being rebuilt. The center can be used for business events, meetings, presentations, lectures and even weddings. Coralville Mayor Jim Fausett thanked Flannigan and is excited about upcoming events and the opening of the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts. RAGBRAI Update (Coralville) Coralville City Administrator Kelly Hayworth reported RAGBRAI will be in Coralville on July 29th. There are lots of opportunities for volunteers. The route in Johnson County will go through Oxford and down the IWV road before entering Iowa City and Coralville on Camp Cardinal Boulevard. The riders will leave Saturday morning going through downtown Iowa City, out on Rochester through West Branch and on to Davenport. They are anticipating a larger ridership on the day coming into Coralville and the day going into Davenport because it will be an easier ride and it ends in the larger city. Area law enforcement agencies are bringing in retired officers from the Coralville, Iowa City, University and Sherriff's Departments and giving them a fun ways to get involved, so active officers in the area can stay on the roads. There are "Ride Right" posters available to those interested. There will be a pre -ride on Saturday, July 9th from Davenport to Coralville at 8:00 a.m. There will be a pancake breakfast in Davenport and the ride will end at Scheels in Coralville. The route is a 64 miles. Other Business Coralville Mayor Jim Fausett opened the meeting to other business. Johnson County Supervisor Sally Stutsman asked if it was too late for the group to send a letter to the Capital about the property tax bill. Iowa State Representative Dave Jacoby said a letter would be helpful, but it would also be helpful to have business owners send letters. The next meeting date will be hosted by North Liberty on August 24, 2011. Coralville Mayor Jim Fausett adjourned the meeting at 5:38 p.m. A complete recording of the Joint Meeting is available at the City Clerk's Office in Coralville City Hall.

I have also sent Jeff Davidson a copy. Marian Karr will make the report available online at www.icgov.org so anyone interested will have access to it. We also will have a print copy at the Library. I would like to review this report briefly with the Council at their work session on June 20. During the planning phases of our current building there was some community interest in a branch library. With new census figures available, and our building design work more than ten years old, it seemed to be an appropriate time to study the need for additional library facilities as well as look at our current building. In the last seven years over 4,600,000 people have walked through our entrance gates. As we begin to look at maintenance issues, it is appropriate that we make improvements rather than just recreate exactly what we have. I believe this plan provides very good information about library use. The consultants are well versed in current and future library facilities and needs. Their recommendations will be very important as we plan for library services for Iowa City for the next ten years. DURRANT® ll � by D-V. Partnerships and projects that advance communities.

ICPL strives to meet the library and information needs of the entire community through its services, facility, online presence and outreach activities. In order to ensure that it continues to meet the needs of the entire community, the Library launched a project to examine whether the current single downtown main library is adequate or if a branch or branches may be needed. The following report attempts to address two important questions. The first question, paraphrased above, asks 'Is the current single downtown main library adequately meeting the community's needs for library services ?" The second topic to be addressed relates to the effectiveness and efficiency of the arrangement of space in the existing facility. In an effort to determine the answers to the questions raised, the consulting team carried out a wide range of information /data gathering tasks. The team reviewed background document and statistics, conducted staff focus groups, a staff web survey and personal interviews with community leaders, used samples of circulation and public computer usage data to map the distribution of the Library's usership and performed an in-depth analysis of the existing building. An examination of statistical data shows that ICPL performs well (both nationally and within Iowa) on a number of measures related to market penetration. A majority of staff held the opinion that the single downtown library was adequately serving the entire community although some felt that the southeast portion of the City might be under - served. Community leaders expressed similar opinions. Again, the southeast was identified as the area that might be under - served. A mapping of actual library usage provided evidence that residents from throughout the City do use the Library on a regular basis. Furthermore, public access computer use from the southeastern section of the City is quite high. Both the staff and the consultants concur on an assessment of the existing library facility. The building is an attractive, high - quality building. Nevertheless, both staff and the consultants identified improvements that could be made to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of what all agree is an outstanding public asset Recommendations growing out of the study are organized using a -traffic signal" approach. The report identifies what the library should not do (red), what it should explore cautiously (yellow), and what it should proceed to do (green). Following is a very brief bullet -point summary of the recommendations.

E DURRANT' �w G %wm Iowa City Public Library, Facility Plan INTRODUCTION The Charge It is apparent that the Iowa City Public Library IICPLJ takes the word "public" in its name very seriously. Everything that we have learned about the Library in the course of carrying out this study indicates that ICPL strives to meet the library and information needs of the entire community through its services, facility, online presence and outreach activities. The fact that the Library launched a project designed to examine whether the current single downtown main library is adequately meeting the community's needs is a further sign that it is committed to providing access to all of Iowa Citys residents. The following report attempts to address two important questions. The first question, paraphrased above, asks "Is the current single downtown main library adequately meeting the communitys needs for library services?" The second topic to be addressed relates to the effectiveness and efficiency of the arrangement of space in the existing facility. Although the current library facility was opened in 2004, it was designed in the late 1990s. A great deal of change has taken place in the public library world since the space in ICPL's facility was programmed. The emergence of Wi -Fi technology, changing material formats and new models for delivering reference/information services are examples of changes that have facility design implications. As was the case with the first question, the Library is taking a proactive stance with the second in asking "Is the space in the current library facility arranged in a way that achieves optimum efficiency for staff and optimum effectiveness in serving the public?" The Library's Request for Proposal asked the successful consulting team to make suggestions and recommendations for improving both public service and staff areas of the building. The Process Because these questions are complex, the Durrant/Himmel 5 Wilson team has applied a multi- faceted approach to finding the answers. The project began with a comprehensive review of background documents and statistical data. This was followed by an initial tour of the existing facility and an interview with the Library Director. A series of four staff focus groups involving 31 library staff members followed. These focus groups explored both the effectiveness and efficiency of the existing building and perceptions and opinions related to the question of whether branch or satellite facilities are needed in Iowa City. Personal one-on-one interviews were conducted with 21 community leaders identified by the Library Board and Administration. The individuals interviewed ranged from public officials such as the Mayor, City Planner and Parks and Recreation Department Head to educators, DURRANT'��i� r�p� Iowa City Public Library, Facility Plan social activists and businesspersons. Topics explored with interviewees included anticipated community growth patterns, the adequacy of the current downtown library in meeting the library and information needs of all residents and issues related to the arrangement of the existing library facility. The Durrant/Himmel & Wilson team also conducted an analysis of public library usership patterns in Iowa City. A four -week sample of circulation usage and a separate sample of public computer usage were drawn. This data was processed using a geocoding process to generate geographic information system IGIS) maps showing the distribution of "active" households. Finally, the consulting team turned its attention to the efficiency and effectiveness of the existing structure. Three consulting team members fDr. Ethel Himmel, Bill Wilson and Gregg Baum) each conducted independent in -depth assessments of each functional area of the facility. In addition, a web survey was designed to gather individual staff assessments of strengths and weaknesses of the current structure. A total of 56 staff members Japproximately half of the total staffs completed the lengthy survey. Members of the consulting team met with the ICPL Board of Trustees at the beginning and toward the end of the data/information gathering phase of the project and presented preliminary findings as the project moved in earnest into the analysis phase. DURRANT' =LHU"e. s W"N Iowa City Public Library, Facility Plan FINDINGS & MAPPING Sttictical Analysis The consulting team compared the Iowa City Public Library to three different sets of peer libraries on a number of important indicators of library use. Two of the peer comparisons included libraries serving populations of between 65,000 and 85,000. The first of these (based on 2008 statistics) was derived from the Federal -State Cooperative System (FSCS) which collects its national data through state library agencies. All legally recognized public libraries are included in this data set. A total of 194 libraries from 38 states are included in the 65,000 to 85,000 population category. The second source of data (based on FY 2010 data) that was used comes from the Public Library Data Service (PLDS) program of the Public Library Association. This submission of data to PLDS is voluntary and libraries reporting tend to be those that are reasonably well supported and, consequently, those that offer a higher level of service. Sixty (60) libraries in 27 states are included in this group. The third set of data is longitudinal and represents the performance of nine urban public libraries in Iowa that are tracked by ICPL. Populations served by these libraries ranges from slightly over 50,000 (Ames) to nearly 200,000 (Des Moines). The information used is collected by the individual libraries and is compiled by the State Library of Iowa. The most recent data is from FY 2010. The Libraries included in this data set are: Ames Public Library Ames) Carnegie -Stout Public Library (Dubuque Cedar Rapids Public Library (Cedar Rapids) Council Bluffs Public Library )Council Bluffs) Davenport Public Library (Davenport) Des Moines Public Library (Des Moines) Iowa City Public Library (Iowa City) Sioux City Public Library (Sioux City) Waterloo Public Library (Waterloo) While a wealth of information is available regarding these peer libraries, the consultants concentrated on several data elements that are related to the question of whether or not the single downtown library is serving the entire community. The statistics used include circulation per capita, percentage of registered borrows (number of registered borrowers compared to DURRANT' Jw tlMM%L s w'`52" Iowa City Public Library, Facility Plan the total number of people in the library's service area( and turnover rate (the average number of times a typical item in the library's collection is checked out in the course of a year(. Measure FSCS (20081 FSCS Rank FSCS PLDS (20101 PLDS Rank PLDS Iowa City Median Iowa City Median Circulation per 18.34 14th of 194 5.77 18.32 I lth of 60 8.39 Capita Percentage 82.4% 27th of 194 52.4% 79.0% 18th of 60 60.8% of Registered Borrowers Turnover Rate 6.13 6th of 194 2.22 7.95 1 st of 60 2.98 Chart I National Peer Comparisons As you can see, the Iowa City Public Library performs well compared to national peers on these measures. Usage of the Library's collections (measured both in circulation per capita and turnover rate( is very high. it is clear that the Library has a well selected, well maintained collection that is relevant to residents of Iowa City. However, performance on the measure most closely related to market penetration (percentage of registered borrowers( appears to be a bit lower than other measures. ICPL's somewhat lower ranking on this measure is probably misleading in that different states calculate service populations in different ways. Because Iowa public libraries provide open access across jurisdictional boundaries, both the FSCS data and the PLDS data use total service populations that reflect a regional total (City and surrounding area( versus the actual City population. Because some of the other states reporting do not have open access programs, service populations reflect only municipal populations. This tends to lower Iowa City's ranking because the percentage is generated using an inflated divisor. A comparison of ICPL's performance in relation to other urban libraries in Iowa presents a different picture. The following chart compares ICPL to the other 8 "urban" public libraries in the State. The data used to generate this chart applies estimated municipal populations instead of the regional totals applied for Iowa libraries in the national statistics. As you can see, ICPL's percentage of registered borrowers is in excess of 100% (108.895(. This reflects the fact that ICPL serves an extended area and has a good number of registered borrowers from beyond the City limits. The chart below clearly shows that ICPL is a top performer and allays some of the fears that the Library may not be reaching a high percentage of the Citys residents. However, this issue still deserves some additional examination. In depth scrutiny of the market penetration issue follows in the section about the mapping of usage patterns.

Library workers spend more time in the Library building than anyone else and are able to observe who visits the library and, in the case of circulation staff, where users reside. The consultants sought staff perspectives on both the issue of the need for branch or satellite locations and on the efficiency and effectiveness of the existing library facility. Staff opinions on the "branch library" issue were mixed. Most thought that the single downtown facility was doing an adequate job of reaching residents from throughout the City. In addition to their observation that people from all corners of the municipality use the Library daily, several also pointed out that ICPL has an active outreach program that serves a good number of people "where they are" rather than only at the physical downtown site. The Library's virtual presence )website, Facebook presence, etc.) was also mentioned. A minority of staff focus group participants felt that the Library might not be adequately reaching all residents. Residents in the southeast section of the City were mentioned most frequently. Transportation issues )in particular the lack of public transit on Sundays) and the cost of parking downtown were raised as barriers to use for City residents with limited financial resources. However, a note of caution was sounded even by those who thought a branch or satellite location might be desirable. The note of caution related to the potential "watering -down" of the Library's resources if branch services were offered. It was noted that funds would have to be spent on the duplication of materials, that staff resources would be stretched and that there would be ongoing costs associated with operating and maintaining a branch or branches. Overall, the staff position seemed to be that an approach that maintained a single facility but also maintained aggressive outreach activities would probably serve the community best. Staff opinions on the efficiency and effectiveness of space utilization in existing facility also differed somewhat. Staff was offered several opportunities to provide their assessment of the E DURRANT' �erl�nr<cuwssH r�pr� Iowa City Public Library, Facility Plan building. A total of 31 staff members participated in the focus groups and 56 library workers completed the web survey. (Summary reports of the focus groups and the web survey can be found in the appendices.1 Employees that had worked for the Library for an extended period of time were generally more satisfied with the facility (especially in regard to staff work space) than those who had not worked for the Library prior to the 2004 expansion and complete renovation. While a few specific elements of the building were cited as needing attention, the vast majority of staff recognizes that Iowa City is privileged to have a high quality public library facility. Staff was nearly unanimous in their praise for the amount of staff workspace that is provided, the amount of natural light in large portions of the building, the quality and variety of meeting room and public study space and the building's aesthetics. Areas that were frequently raised for criticism included the teen area, the listening/viewing area, signage /way- finding and security in specific areas. Parking was also raised as a concern by some. Most felt that adequate parking was available within a reasonable distance but some felt that cost and inconvenience discourage the frequency of use by some City residents. Potential solutions to the facilities issues raised by staff are addressed later in the report. Personal Interviews Personal interviews were conducted with a wide range of individuals. (A summary of these interviews can be found in the appendices.) Some of the interviews were designed to gather specific information regarding population growth, redevelopment of specific areas and opportunities for partnerships. Other interviews focused more on whether the single downtown library facility is meeting the needs of all City residents. Interviews with the City Manager, Assistant City Manager (who recently served as the Acting City Manager) and the City Planner helped the consulting team understand the dynamics of population growth in Iowa City. Of particular significance is the anticipated increase in population density in the extended downtown area. The location of the Library in the downtown area positions it well to meet the growing demand for library services that will result from the development of more residential properties in the Riverfront Crossings district and in other sections of the community adjacent to the downtown area. Interviews with City officials also explored the adequacy of library service coverage in the southeast sector of the community. While the general feeling was that most in the City have good access to the downtown facility, several areas were identified as possible locations for some sort of southeast library presence. They included the Sycamore Mall, the Towncrest neighborhood and Mercer Park The interview with the Director of Parks 6 Recreation also ED DURRANT' ��� Iowa City Public Library, Facility Plan raised the potential for the expansion of collaborative efforts already in place with some sort of physical library presence in existing or future parks and recreation facilities. As with the staff focus group sessions, the exploration of the need for a branch or satellite facility usually ended up as a discussion of library needs of residents in the southeast sector of the City. Several who believed that a southeast library presence would be desirable expressed the opinion that services in such a facility should probably focus on access to computers and services related to families and children. Most interviewees indicated that the Iowa City Public Library is well liked and respected in the community. Several said that they thought that the community would support additional funding for a branch if the Library was able to make a compelling case for its needs. However, others expressed the opinion that it is too soon after the expansion /renovation of the downtown library to pursue a branch /satellite strategy. Others raised the concern mentioned by staff that operating a branch would dilute the effectiveness of what all agreed was an outstanding public library. Those interviewed had very few criticisms of the existing facility. Most of the criticisms that were raised related to the small size and poor visibility of the teen space and the somewhat overwhelming feeling of the long stack areas on the second floor. Parking was also raised as a concern; however, interviewees were nearly unanimous in expressing the importance of a strong library as an anchor of a healthy downtown area. A strong and vital downtown library was seen as one of Iowa Citys core assets in creating/maintaining a high quality of life in the community. Perhaps the most important tool in determining whether the single downtown facility is adequately meeting the needs of people throughout the City was the mapping of library usage patterns. Two separate samples of usage were drawn. One sample was composed of the addresses of individuals who had circulation activity )e.g., checked out books or other materials) during the month of February 2011. The second sample consisted of the addresses of users who had used the computer reservation system to log on to public access computers at the Library. In both instances, the samples provide an indication that individuals were physically present in the Library building. While circulation and computer usage patterns vary somewhat, the mapping clearly demonstrates that people ARE coming to the downtown facility from throughout the City. The maps on the next few pages illustrate the distribution of - active households' for the ED) DURRANT' riftvame s wls uO�° °� Iowa City Publk Library, Facifily Plan month of February 2011. Each dot represents a household from which someone visited the library. Because the maps are based on a one month sample, they do not reflect ALL active households. In fact, the total number of active households over the course of a year is likely to be two and one -half to three times larger than what is shown.

The only areas that do not show significant use are those that have little or no residential properties (industrial parks, retail developments, etc.). Circulation activity extends throughout the City and well beyond the Citys borders. Public access computer usage presents a slightly different picture. This aspect of library use is clearly heavier in the downtown area and in the southern reaches of the City. In general, residential areas with higher household incomes exhibit less public access computer use and residential areas with lower household incomes exhibit more use. This is not at all surprising. Unfortunately, because access to the Wi -Fi system at the Library is open (does not require a library card to log in), it is not possible to track the residential locations of these users who own their own laptops and handheld devices. However, it is logical to assume that if that usage was tracked that it might complement what is seen for public access computer use. Map 2 (Percentage of Market penetration - Circulation) shows the Library's "market penetration" in regard to circulation. It is important to note that this penetration represents a one -month sample. In other words, the lighted purple hue on the map indicates that between 16% and 20% of all households in a census tract checked materials out in the month of February. Applying a factor of two and one -half to three to extrapolate annual use would generate an annual market penetration of 40% to 60% of households in areas with relatively light use. Circulation activity tends to be low in the area of the City south of Highway 6; however, Map 3 (Percentage of Market penetration - Public Access Computer Use) shows that public access computer use from this area is moderate to high. Maps 4 (Distribution of Active Households - Circulation - Southeast) and 5 (Distribution of Active Households - Public Access Computer Use - Southeast) provide a more detailed look at usage patterns in the southeast section of the City. Note that the large circles represent single postal addresses in apartment dwellings, mobile home courts and other multiple dwelling units. A large circle in close proximity to street or group of streets that show limited use or no use usually means that there is library usage in that area but that many people share the same street address. For example, all of the units in the Bon Aire Mobile Home Lodge in southeast Iowa City share the address of 2801 Highway 6 E. The mapping of usage patterns makes it very clear that residents of neighborhoods throughout the City (including those in the southeast) are using the downtown library facility. The mapping effectively allays fears that large numbers of people are discouraged from using library services because there is only a single, central facility. EDURRANT' un�sc� ��A Iowa City Public Library, Facility Plan Consultant Team Assessment of th V . Existina Fa iliry The Iowa City Public Library facility is attractive, inviting and modern. It is generally well designed, exceptionally well maintained and is seen in the community as a major asset that contributes to the quality of life and the vitality of the downtown area. However, as with any facility, there is still room for improvement. Each of the three primary members of the consulting team (Dr. Ethel Himmel, Bill Wilson and Gregg Baum) conducted detailed independent assessments of the facility. Every functional area of the building was examined and photos and notes were taken to document current conditions and concerns. The consultants then shared their observations and created "deficiencies maps" for each level. These floor plans are shown on the following pages and provide a quick overview of areas that the consultants believe could be improved. While some of the "deficiencies" are minor and could be corrected at a very reasonable cost (e.g., repositioning shelving and study carrels(, other recommendations would entail significant effort and cost (e.g., changes in the number and locations of service desks). However, the consultants believe that the goal of the changes (improved public service and reduced staffing costs) more thanjustify considering each of them. There are some areas of the facility that require little or no change. For example, the consultants believe that the Library's main meeting rooms are extremely well designed and equipped. Perhaps the area of greatest concern is the number and functionality of the service desks For a library of its size, the Iowa City Public Library has a large number of service desks. Furthermore, since these desks were designed in the late 1990s, there has been a considerable amount of change in how a variety of services are provided. The design of circulation desks has been significantly influenced by the more extensive deployment of self-check machines. The reduction in the size of print -on -paper reference collections and the explosion of the availability of online reference tools has changed the way many libraries are looking at reference services. The Iowa City Public Library s "page stations" are a vestige of a time when large collections of materials were held in non - public stack areas and staff was required to retrieve requested items. While this function barely exists today and while individuals working at these stations now fulfill other duties, a rethinking of the library staff /library customer interface along with a consolidation of desk locations could result in greater efficiency as well as better customer service. ED DURRANT tunmci s wassr Iowa City Public Library Facility Plan A second major concern shared by consulting team members is the somewhat cluttered and confusing array of furnishings that confront the customer upon entering the building. The area immediately inside the security gates confronts visitors rather than welcoming them. Because Iowa City has a single, downtown library location, ICPL serves multiple functions. Unlike some "main" libraries that are research libraries first and popular libraries second, ICPL is a branch library and a research library all rolled into one. The design of the facility attempted to deal with this duality by essentially creating a popular library on the first floor and a research library on the second level. This is a sensible approach; however, the inviting "branch library" feeling is missing as individuals enter the library proper. Several recommendations relate to "opening up" this area to make it more welcoming. DURRANT' Iowa City Public Library, Facility Plan ,,� p ❑ U ® O u O 0 0 ❑ ® O� F' w p C a 0 V, Sal aftl 8 8 m Pi ®� a� 3 �iW 0 CD J Li D Z 0 U W C/7 RECOMMENDATIONS The recommendations that flow from this study can be presented using a stop -light analogy. There are actions that are given a red or stop light (building a full - service branch library), actions that are given a yellow or caution light (consideration of a specialty branch in cooperation with other entities) and actions that are given a green or go /proceed light (alterations to the existing library to make it more efficient and user friendly). Following are the recommendations in each category: RM Based on all of the information and data collected and analyzed, the consulting team believes that the development of a full-service branch library in Iowa City would be ill-advised. In particular, the distribution of usership as presented in the usage maps clearly demonstrates that individuals are coming to the single downtown location from throughout the City on a regular basis. While the Library's considerable public support might lead to the approval for funding to construct a full - service branch, ongoing operational costs would very likely dilute resources now allocated to the single, consolidated location. Furthermore, the anticipated population growth in the downtown area will very likely require more, rather than less, resources in order to meet increased demands. This is not to say that there will never be a need for a branch or satellite location in Iowa City. However, the consultants believe that this time is well into the future (more than a decade in the future). The Library and the City should carefully monitor population growth and should particularly monitor the development of residential areas designed for families with children. The City and Library may even wish to consider "reserving" a property or properties in anticipation for branch library development as they consider locations for other public services such as parks and schools. YELLOW Given the considerable concern that was raised concerning the residents of the southeastern portion of the City, the consultants believe that some thought should be given to the location of a small specialty facility in this section of the community. In particular, the mapping of public access computer usage from that area leads one to the conclusion that there is a great deal of demand for this service in the southeast. However, the concerns expressed regarding ongoing operational costs in the section above apply here as well. Several principles should be applied as the Library cautiously explores this idea. They are: EDURRANT* ■B±v s vnu2n umo �1°°` Iowa Ciry Public Library, Facility Plan The facility should be presented as a limited purpose facility (computer access and a drop-off and pick -up point for materials) rather than as a full service facility. The facility should not be built as a freestanding structure. Opportunities should be explored for re-outtitting existing commercial space or partnering with another organization and jointly occupying space with that entity. Partnerships with other organizations ranging from Parks 6 Recreation to local school districts and workforce development entities should be explored. A WordAboutBookmc&k -s Bookmobiles and other mobile delivery units are often raised as an alternative to physical branch library structures. While mobile units are used successfully by some libraries, the overall number of mobile units in 2011 is significantly lower than it was in the last half of the 20th century. Two of the main reasons for a decline in the prevalence of bookmobiles are societal change and cost. In the 1950s and 1960s, mobile units were often used by libraries to service rural communities and urban neighborhoods that lacked a permanent library structure. Bookmobiles were scheduled throughout the day and week. Many units visited five or more locations per day five or six days per week. People from the communities and neighborhoods served anticipated the bookmobile's arrival and were often waiting for it at its scheduled stop. As more and more families moved to being "multi-earner" families, daytime community stops became less and less productive. Essentially, nobody (or far fewer people( was home. The libraries most successful in offering bookmobile service changed to include more stops during evenings and weekends and more stops where people were already gathered (senior housing, large daycare centers and schools). Other libraries offered specialty vehicles such as mobile computer labs and "media - mobiles." Most, but not all, libraries have discovered that it is difficult, if not impossible, to schedule the number of stops necessary to justify the overhead costs associated with mobile services. This leads to the second of the reasons that bookmobiles have declined in numbers. While buying and outfitting a specialty vehicle like a bookmobile is obviously less expensive than the construction of a full- service branch library, it is still quite costly. Even though bookmobiles are typically kept in service for ten years or more, it is likely that at least three vehicles would be purchased over the course of time normally associated with the "lifetime" of a bricks and mortar library. Ongoing costs for fuel, maintenance and storage are also costly (especially as fuel costs have increased). D DURRANT' � rso Iowa C sty Public Library, Facility Plan However, other "hidden" costs are even more onerous. Creating separate "bookmobile collections," the staff time necessary to constantly stock and re -stock the shelves, staff costs associated with travel time between stops when no service is being offered all add up. In many cases, libraries have discovered that the cost to circulate a single item through a bookmobile is three to four times higher than costs associated with traditional, facilitpbased services. In short, the Iowa City Public Library might consider a mobile unit as an alternative to a small specialty branch in the southeastern sector of the community. However, exploration of the bookmobile concept should be undertaken with "eyes wide open." That is, a decision should not be made on the basis of the "romantic" notion of bookmobile service. Rather, the Library should conduct extensive cost and market analyses as part of its due-diligence in planning new services. GREEN The renovated Iowa City Public Library is a young seven years old and a very nice, well used, public library. Even though the building is not very old, technology has changed how the library is used and what the community wants from the library. We took a critical look at the inner workings of the library and have several recommendations that will improve the customer experience, access to information, and user comfort Our ideas are illustrated on the following first and second floor plan layouts and the numerical legend below explains the rationale of our recommendations. i. Relocate the teen area to the second floor by condensing the current periodicals collection area. Provide a glassedin area to contain sound. A gaming area should also be considered as part of the area. Visual supervision for the new teen area will be from a secondary service desk located in the information )computer) commons area. 2. Review the number and location of service desks on the first floor for efficiency and functionality. Reexamine current functions and restructure duties to align with the emerging organizational plan. 3. Eliminate existing listening/viewing stations and add smaller listening/viewing stations in the information )computer) commons area on the second floor. 4. "Decompress" the popular materials collection and use lower, face out, shelving units to make all first floor collections more visible, easier to navigate, more visually interesting and easier to supervise. S. Utilize the existing listening/viewing area and first floor page station for the popular materials collection. PDURRANT' M �°V` ir W"-M u0�° ®O°`r ' Iowa City Public Library. Facility Plan 6. Improve navigation through the first floor collections by improving sightlines by decreasing stack density and using lower shelving and by upgrading signage. 7. Add a video display board in the entrance hall to the meeting room area to provide the time and location of meetings. 8. Add "Wi-Fi Available" signage near exterior benches and in the entrance corridor 9. Decrease the visual barriers that exist in the entry area to the library proper. This can be accomplished by moving the self-check units back one module so the customer has a better opportunity to scan the library and determine where to go. 10. Re- position the self-check units and consider reducing their footprint. Consider spreading them out around the library where high turnover collections are located. (Possibly one in the media area and one on the second floor.) 11. Relocate one selfcheck station to a position near the service desk and the top of the stairs. This would expedite the check -out process for the customer and reduce waiting lines near the circulation desk on the first floor during bury times. 12. Redesign service desks to improve efficiency after completing item 2. If they are deemed essential, consider renaming the "Page Stations" to "Help Desk" or use a universal symbol such as a question mark ( ?) if they are going to serve this function. 13. Reduce or eliminate casual seating in the open area adjacent to the stairwell and the children's room. Reconfigure this space for a'hyper- browsability' (constantly changing popular topics) collection. Integrate the casual seating that is lost in this area into the decompressed first floor collection areas. 14. Add stand -up computer towers for customers desiring short term, fast access to email and the Internet without going upstairs. These towers could be located on the columns in the circulation space on the first floor. 15. Add "read -to-me" seating for parents and children. Some could be located in the area that now contains casual seating. More could be added in other locations throughout the children's department (e.g., near the program room). 16. Add child -size casual seating in the children's area. Casual seating for both primary and intermediate -aged children should be provided. 17. Relocate the reference /information service desk at the top of the stairs to make it more visible and to provide better supervision of the second floor collections. 18. Locate online catalogs to the end of ranges to make them easier for customers to find. 19. Integrate the carrels at the west end of the second floor into the collections to provide a visual break in the long rows of books. The carrels are primarily used by customers with computers and the addition of controlled task lighting would also be beneficial. DURRANT' a f Iowa Clry Public Library, Facility Plan 20. Add a building directory near the library entrance to enable customers to plan their visit without assistance from the service desk. This could be a touch - screen video display board that could indicate the location of collections in the building as well as library programming for the day. ED DURRANT' —^E` 6 �^`s�t li u0�°� Iowa City Public Library. facility Plan APPENDIX A Iowa City Public Library — Staff Focus Group Report The consultants conducted four staff focus group sessions in February and March 2011. A total of 31 staff members participated. Staff represented a wide array of departments and position levels. Tenure with the Library among participants ranged from a few months to almost 40 years. Staff members were asked to offer opinions on a variety of topics. Strengths and weakness of the existing building were explored as was the need for branch or satellite locations. Overall, staff assessments of the existing building were very positive. This was particularly true among those who had worked in a facility or facilities prior to the expansion /renovation of the current Library building. Staff office space in the new building was characterized as being vastly superior to what was available previously. Nevertheless, focus group participants were able to identify specific areas of concern. Most agreed that the Teen/Young Adult area had never worked out as anticipated. Many also cited problems with the listening and viewing area. Lack of adequate signage was also cited as a problem. A significant number of staff members complained about the configuration of public service desks. They indicated that desktop space was limited and that the movement of chairs and access to drawers were problematic at several of the desks. Some noted that the first floor area was somewhat cluttered and that it was not particularly intuitive. Examples included people who don't know that the second level even exists and others who are confused in regard to which public service desk is the appropriate one to visit to meet their particular need. Opinions were mixed regarding the need for a satellite or branch facility. Most agreed that the Iowa City Public Library already has a strong outreach program that extends the Library's reach into the community, however, there was a difference in opinion as to whether the Library is effective in reaching the population residing on the southeast sector of Iowa City. Some felt that a branch would be an appropriate response to this concern while others expressed the opinion that providing a branch would "water -down" the services provided by the existing library. Some public service staff indicated that they believed that many residents from the southeastern section of the City use the public access computers.

Several city officials were interviewed in per- son so that the consultants could view maps and plans and ask questions specific to city devel- opment and growth. A complete list of those interviewed follows this summary of key points. The people interviewed were unanimous in their high regard for the Iowa City Public Library. Most said what they liked about the current facility was its location downtown and the availability of its meeting rooms. Only a very few mentioned any deficiencies or inefficiencies in the current facility: crowding in some areas, the size and lack of visibility of the teen space, and the overwhelming feel of rows of stacks on the second floor. Easier access to parking was the major recommendation for making the Library more inviting, but most people mentioned parking not in regard to themselves, but as an issue others raised. Most people identified the southeast side of the City as an area that might currently be underserved. While there is bus service, some believed depending upon bus service was too expensive and /or inconvenient for families with low income. Library partnerships with schools, city recreation programs, and service agencies currently exist; however, sharing a facility as an element of future partnerships, especially in the southeast sector of the City, seemed a good idea to most of those interviewed. Only one or two envisioned a branch library as a full service library modeled on the current downtown library. Most of those who believed there should be a branch library in the southeast said the services provided from there should focus on children and families P DURRANT' re`s r� Iowa City Public Library, Facility Plan and include meeting spaces and computers. One person said she thought starting with those services was a good idea, but that it wouldn't be long before there was pressure to add other services to become a full service facility. Another service that seemed a good idea, but was focused on a different population, was being able to pick up holds, a convenience service. • Many of those interviewed thought there would be community support for a branch or a sub -set of services, based generally on the current community pride and support given to the Iowa City Public Library. People believe that it is well managed and that its director is forward thinking.

M City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM DATE: June 8, 2011 TO: Tom Markus, City Manager ✓ FROM: Rick Fosse, Public Works Director RE: ECICOG's Regional Comprehensive Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan 2011 -2017 (June 21, 2011) Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center staff has been working with the East Central Iowa Council of Governments to update the Regional Comprehensive Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan 2011 -2017. This update is performed every five years. The landfill service area communities are not part of a 28E agreement; therefore each City Council in the service area of Johnson County and the communities of Kalona and Riverside are required by Iowa Code to individually adopt the plan by resolution. The majority of the plan consists of ECICOG's reporting requirements to the Department of Natural Resources regarding what waste reduction activities have occurred since the last update and what new goals have been set for the region. The remainder of the plan sets goals and timelines for individual counties in the ECICOG planning area; this is primarily what City Councils are asked to adopt (see attached memo to City Council from Jen Jordan). In Johnson County, two planning sessions involving interested stakeholders were held in August of 2010 to set these goals. Attached is a memo from Jennifer Jordan that provides greater detail and outlines the goals established in the plan. Staff recommends adopting the resolution to adopt the plan as required by Iowa Code at the June 21, 2011 City Council meeting. This item will be on the June 20, 2011 Work Session agenda for discussion. Cc: Jen Jordan, Recycling Coordinator `r 1 CITY OF IOWA CITY MEMORANDUM Date: June 8, 2011 To: City Councils of Johnson County, Kalona and Riverside From: Jen Jordan, Recycling Coordinator at the Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center Re: ECICOG's Regional Comprehensive Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan 2011 -2017 Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center staff has been working with the East Central Iowa Council of Governments to update the Regional Comprehensive Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan 2011 -2017.

Baseline Waste Stream Report DRAFT 4.1 Current Year Tonnage Solid waste reduction goal progress is measured by comparing population, economic growth, and amount of waste generated within a planning area. The ECICOG planning area population trend from 1988 to 2010 is compared to the solid waste Iandfilled during the same time period in Figure 4.1. The amount of waste Iandfilled in the region declined during the early 1990's, but leveled off through 2002 and has been increasing the past eight years.

The historic flood caused extensive damage to homes and businesses impacting the waste stream years later through demolition and rebuilding activities. During fiscal year 2010, a total of 57,588 tons were landfilled by Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency as exempt waste in the ECICOG region. 5. Changes in Area Demographics Despite the 2008 flood, population and employment in the ECICOG planning area has remained fairly consistent overall. There have been shifts in population and employment in communities impacted by the flood, but aggregate data show little change. No significant demographic changes impacting the waste stream have been noted since the last plan update. 6. Waste Composition & Generation 6.1 Changes in Waste Generation Since Last Approved Plan The 2008 floods impacted the generation of solid waste since the previous plan update. There was a significant increase in flood waste immediately after the floods. All of the documented flood waste was granted exempt status. There is some evidence that waste associated with rebuilding efforts may have impacted the non - exempt waste stream. A waste sort study conducted in October 2010 at Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency indicates an increase in wood wastes, which may be due to construction and rebuilding activities. The impact of the flood and subsequent rebuilding on the non - exempt waste stream is not fully known. The overall amount of waste material in the region has remained fairly steady. Generation of solid waste for the most recent year available (FY10) is presented in Table 6.1. Waste material continues to leave the ECICOG planning area destined for disposal out of state. The private transfer operation located in Hiawatha had an IDNR permit during FY10. As reported to the IDNR in FY10, 12,587 tons of waste was transferred for disposal out of state. In October 2007, Jones County closed their landfill and opened a transfer station taking waste to Millenium Waste Landfill in Milan, IL.

That composition is assumed to be consistent for this plan update. The urbanized counties account for the majority of the population and I /C /I waste generation, influencing the region. The only significant change to the waste composition that is documented during this planning cycle is an increase in the amount of wood waste Iandfilled at the Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency Site #2 facility. The most recent composition data for facilities in the ECICOG planning area come from a waste sort conducted by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources in 1998 and a waste sort conducted by Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency in October 2010. Johnson County: The City of Iowa City's landfill, which serves Johnson County and the cities of Riverside and Kalona in Washington County, was selected as one of five Iowa facilities in the IDNR's 1998 Solid Waste Characterization Report. Each facility had a two - season waste sort conducted during the fall of 1997 and the spring of 1998. The Iowa City Landfill 1998 results are displayed in figure 6.1. The Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center was selected to participate in the next IDNR Solid Waste Characterization to be conducted in 2011. Linn County: The Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency, which serves all of Linn County, conducted a waste sort in October 2010 at Site #2 (County Home Road facility). The Agency hired RW Beck to complete the waste sort and analysis comparing the results to previous waste sorts conducted by RW Beck in 1996, 1999, and 2005. The Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency 2010 results are displayed in figure 6.2. Results indicate a positive trend in the diversion of paper, plastics, glass and household hazardous materials. There was, however, a significant increase in the amount of wood waste and organics (food waste) noted in the waste sort. Full reports of these waste sort studies are available at the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, ECICOG, Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency, or the Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center. Cardboard and construction waste continue to be identified through planning area landfill staff observations as material with potential for diversion. The Implementation Timeline tables in section ten list local programs planned by each member landfill to address cardboard and /or construction wastes. Examples include researching cardboard landfill bans and promoting the Biomass Wood Waste project throughout the region. 6.3 Effects of Anticipated Planning Area Modifications.

Existing Integrated Solid Waste Management System Description As required by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), the following forms are submitted via the Comprehensive Plan Submittal website: • Recycling & Waste Collection • Recycling and Waste Haulers • Residential Recycling • Commercial Recycling • Drop -off Recycling Sites • Diverted Materials Collection • Yard Waste Management Programs • Yard Waste Management Sites The information provided in this section is for the benefit of the ECICOG Solid Waste Planning Area members and organized for readability. 7.1 Residential Recycling and Waste Collection Systems The ECICOG Planning Area achieved the 25 percent waste reduction goal in 1994; currently waste reduction is 34 percent. In addition to source reduction efforts, recycling has and continues to play an instrumental role in waste reduction. All of the residents of the ECICOG Solid Waste Planning Area have access to recycling drop - offs, curbside collection programs, or both. Recycling opportunities in each community in the ECICOG Planning Area are summarized in Table 7.1. The type of program, frequency of collection, and materials accepted are identified. The locations and availability of residential recycling drop -offs are summarized in Appendix E. A majority of communities — 56 of 71 — in the ECICOG Planning Area have curbside collection programs for recyclables. Communities as large as Cedar Rapids and as small as Luzerne offer single - family households the opportunity to recycle at the curb. Twenty communities have both curbside and drop -off programs. The curbside recycling programs vary from commingled material collection to source separated programs. As indicated in the 2004 comprehensive plan update, an evaluation of curbside recycling programs reveals that convenient, commingled collection programs have the highest participation rates and most materials collected. Most curbside programs accept all paper, cardboard, metal containers, and 1 -7 container plastics with some variations from program to program. The pricing structure of a recycling collection program also has a big impact on the participation rates as identified in the recycling program evaluation study. Programs that charge for each unit of garbage disposed have much higher participation rates and recycle more material. In the ECICOG Planning Area, 33 communities have implemented unit based pricing for garbage collection. The pricing systems range from charges for each bag to base fee systems allowing one to three bags for a monthly fee and charge for additional bags. In addition to the wide availability of curbside programs, there are 36 drop -off programs in the planning area. These vary from recycling centers with operating hours, to drop -off containers available 24 hours, 7 days a week. All of the drop -off programs are open to both residents and businesses in their service areas. 15 q m pamolle buluan8 (aplsgano ) a}seM PRA (;;o -doap ) a}seM PRA saNxaa sa6u uAS wnuiwnly slepA /sueo ull so I }se Id sseIJ (000 ) paeogpaeo paeogdly-. sau lzebe V jaded aol;;C �u a dsnna [ pea�uo- leloaawwo- pea�uo- le I qua p lsaZ N 7 i O) C U 1111 Aouanbaa- uolpallo.

Quantities collected in fiscal year 2010 are presented in Table 1.2. Nearly 350,000 tons of recyclable materials were processed at these facilities. Landfill Bans in the ECICOG Solid Waste Planning Area Jones County. In 1991, Jones County implemented a landfill ban on all recyclables. Cities in Jones County have curbside collection of recyclables by ordinance. The solid waste commission continues to discuss extending the mandatory recycling ordinance to unincorporated areas of Jones County. City of Traer (Tama County). In 1998, the City of Traer banned corrugated cardboard from their public garbage collection service. Residents and businesses are encouraged to recycle cardboard at the local drop -off collection. Linn County. In 1999, the Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency implemented a ban on old corrugated cardboard (OCC) resulting in significant OCC landfill diversion. In 1996, OCC comprised 8.4% of municipal solid waste (MSW) compared to 2.2% in 2010. The agency continues to evaluate the effectiveness of the OCC ban through staff spotters and tracking violations. In 2010, the CRLCSWA Board of Directors approved a policy to restrict the disposal of televisions and computer monitors at their landfill. The Board also removed the fee to drop -off all electronics, including TVs and computer monitors, to encourage recycling. Benton County. In 2004, the Benton County Landfill implemented a ban on all recyclables. Benton County communities have adopted curbside collection of recyclable materials. Public Education Activities Waste reduction messages are delivered to the residential and commercial sectors in a variety of ways from numerous sources. The messages described in this plan are only those that ECICOG and its member governments have presented or co- sponsored. Other entities — including cities, schools, & haulers — also provide waste reduction and diversion education messages. For the sake of readability, general messages and education methods are summarized here and specific examples are included in Attachment F. Public Education ECICOG staff assists member landfills with public education aimed at the general public in a variety of ways. Since 2005, the four rural counties, Benton, Iowa, Jones, and Tama, participate in an annual education plan administered by ECICOG staff. The following mechanisms are used to promote landfill and recycling services offered in each service area. Garbage Grapevine E- newsletter. ECICOG staff developed a quarterly newsletter targeting city and county representatives throughout the region. Each issue contains information about waste management and recycling regionally as well as specific programs locally. The newsletter is distributed to 450 people using Constant Contact, which tracks the response to the newsletter content. To date, the Garbage Grapevine averages a 28 percent open rate, which is ten percent better than the industry average. ECICOG has received three direct responses from city clerks and librarians who appreciate the newsletter. A recent issue of the Garbage Grapevine is included in Attachment F. Print materials. Print materials were updated for the four rural counties in 2010. The format was changed to a one -third page flyer which included brief information about all the services offered 23 ECICOG Compreheyasive Playa 2011 -2017 DK4FT by each landfill. The flyer is distributed at the scalehouse and provided to city / county offices and local libraries within the service area. In addition, counties with websites have included the flyer. An example is included in Attachment F. Advertising. Print ads are placed in local newspapers in the four rural counties promoting landfill services and recycling. Print ads are utilized when changes to programs and services arise. Display Boards. A tri -fold display board with landfill service information was developed for each of the four rural counties and the Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center. The boards are housed at the landfill office or courthouse in each county and are available for local events. Presentations. ECICOG staff give presentations to many groups by request all over the region throughout the year. Since 2008, more than 19,600 individuals have heard a presentation from ECICOG staff. Groups range from civic groups such as rotary, to city councils, to church groups, to college students. The topic is usually waste management and recycling in general, but issue specific requests include waste reduction, electronic recycling, hazardous material management, green building, and C &D recycling. The electronic newsletter, Garbage Grapevine, sent to city clerks quarterly promotes the presentations available to groups. In 2004, ECICOG staff developed the Summer Reading Program, an annual education outreach program for libraries throughout the region. As the information center for communities, libraries host reading programs for children of all ages. The Summer Reading Program is developed for children, but also reaches the parents and grandparents bringing the children as well as library staff and other adults in the community. Each summer, a different children's book is chosen to fit the libraries' theme and present a specific waste management issue including the following: • Natural resource conservation & recycling • Buying recycled products • Compost and vermi-com posting • Household hazardous material safety / disposal • Waste reduction • Material reuse • Water quality The Summer Reading Program reaches approximately 1,500 children each year. The program format is to read the book, present information, and have the children participate in an activity with a treat at the end. In addition to libraries, the program goes to preschools, Before & After School programs, Boy /Girl Scout troops, and 4 -H groups. The Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency and the Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center use a variety of public education methods including: • Print materials and website — all updated in the past 4 years. • Advertising via newspapers, radio, and cable television. • Tours of their facilities and presentations to groups. • Information booths at fairs and events — appearances by Mr. Earth mascot in Linn County. • Sponsor recycling at events such as the Eco -Arts Festival in Linn County and the Jazz Festival in Iowa City. School Education 24 ECICOG Compreheyasive Playa 2011 -2017 DK4FT Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency, Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center, and ECICOG staff has developed several programs to get waste reduction and recycling messages into schools. The following is a summary of the methods used to reach students and teachers. Students. Classroom presentations are the primary method of educating students. ECICOG offers a range of presentations that are issue and grade specific. A flyer is distributed to teachers at the beginning of each school year promoting ECICOG's presentation services. An example flyer listing all the presentations available is included in Attachment F. ECICOG is working toward development of graded curriculum for pre- kindergarten through 12th grade covering all aspects of integrated solid waste management. Since 2008 ECICOG staff has presented 559 programs. School assemblies such as The Banana Slug String Band and landfill tours have also been used throughout the region to promote waste reduction and recycling. In addition, the Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency offers educational activities on their website for kids. Teachers. ECICOG has worked closely with Susan Salterberg, University of Northern Iowa Center for Energy and Environmental Education, to bring the waste reduction message to teachers. All of the planning area's landfills have sponsored teachers attending the "Waste Reduction: the overlooked R" workshop. A total of 11 teachers have attended the workshop with a landfill sponsorship since 2008. In addition, ECICOG staff has presented with Susan at several teacher workshops to promote the curriculum available from ECICOG as well as share ideas for their classrooms. Finally, ECICOG is working with the Iowa Recycling Association on an EPA Environmental Education grant to create a new Physics Olympics event to challenge high school students to build a Mini - Materials Recovery Facility. The goal of the Secondary Mini -MRF project is to bring recycling concepts into high school classrooms. 7.2 Commercial Recycling Businesses in the ECICOG solid waste planning area typically arrange for recycling services independently. Businesses have access to the same drop -off recycling locations listed in Appendix E. Commercial Recycling Assistance Programs The Iowa Waste Exchange (IWE), Iowa Waste Reduction Center, and Pollution Prevention Services work with business and industry in the planning area to reduce and recycle. In the summer of 2009, the ECICOG IWE Resource Specialist transitioned into a half -time position. In addition, the ECICOG IWE territory decreased to a 6- county region (Iowa, Jones, Benton, Tama, Linn, & Johnson Counties). These changes have enabled the specialist to focus on the metropolitan areas of Cedar Rapids and Iowa City while continuing to promote commercial recycling activities in rural portions of the ECICOG solid waste planning area. ECICOG housing the IWE activities have continued to yield benefits to the region's landfills and commercial businesses, as well as non - profit industries and academic institutions. Interactions among IWE staff, planning staff, landfill representatives, and other stakeholders throughout the region have increased resulting in new waste diversions. The IWE specialist has staffed booths at fairs and events as well as given presentations to groups ranging from the Cedar Rapids Chamber of Commerce to construction industry representatives. 25 ECICOG Compreheyasive Playa 2011 -2017 DK4FT During fiscal years 2007 - 2009, the IWE resource specialists responded to 858 business assistance requests to divert 66,101 tons of materials from landfills in the ECICOG solid waste planning area. This waste diversion resulted in a cost savings of $2,359,288 in avoided tipping fees and other costs. The Iowa Waste Exchange resource specialist serving the ECICOG planning area is housed at the East Central Iowa Council of Governments; call 319 - 365 -9941 ext. 21 for more information. During fiscal year 2009, the Iowa Waste Reduction Center (IWRC) provided technical assistance to 10 small businesses (fewer than 100 employees) in the ECICOG solid waste planning area. For more information, contact the IWRC office, University of Northern Iowa, 319- 273 -8905. The Pollution Prevention Services, housed at the DNR, manages an intern program designed to assist businesses with waste reduction efforts. During 2009, the Pollution Prevention interns identified waste reduction projects that when implemented will divert nearly 924 tons of waste from 24 large businesses (more than 100 employees) in Iowa. For more information, contact the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, 515 - 281 -8499. 7.3 Yard Waste Management Facilities and Programs Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency Site #3, adjacent to Site #1, is the planning area's largest permitted composting facility. Approximately 31,000 tons of yard and food waste were composted in FY10. The finished compost is available to local residents and landscaping companies. The Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center operates a compost facility that processes more than XX tons of yard, food, and wood waste annually. The landfill is working with the University of Iowa and other businesses to divert food waste for composting. The finished compost is available to local residents and landscapers. Other landfills and communities manage yard waste through small -scale yard waste facilities or burn sites that do not require permits. Access to yard waste drop -off sites is summarized in Table 7.1. Households in communities without yard waste collection service promote grasscycling and backyard composting. 7.4 Material Specific Initiatives In addition to programs to recycle paper, plastic, metal, and glass, landfills in the ECICOG planning area have implemented programs to manage materials requiring special handling. Some materials are banned from landfilling while others contribute to the toxicity of the waste stream and are therefore targeted for diversion. A description of material specific programs follow and appendix G contains tables summarizing programs at each member landfill as well as listing other outlets for banned materials. Waste oil and batteries: The Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency and the Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center accept both waste oil and lead -acid batteries for recycling. Information about these services is included in their print materials and on their websites. The landfills in Benton and Tama counties as well as the Jones County transfer station accept lead - acid batteries for recycling. Print materials and advertising promote this service. There are businesses in each county that accept waste oil for recycling. A partial listing is included in Appendix G. 26 ECICOG Compreheyasive Playa 2011 -2017 DK4FT Scrap tires: Unwanted tires are accepted for recycling at each landfill in the ECICOG Planning Area. Landfills charge residents a nominal fee for tire disposal and promote the service through print materials and advertising. All six member landfills participate in a regional processing contract, which results in approximately 700 tons of tires processed into tire derived fuel and crumb rubber. White goods: Household appliances, or white goods, are accepted for a fee at each landfill to be recycled. Residents are encouraged to recycle their appliances through print materials and advertising. All six member landfills use the same white goods processor. ECICOG issues the request for proposal and helps prepare contracts between each landfill and the processor. The ECICOG request for proposal process and contract language have been used as a model for others seeking white goods processing services. Yard Waste: Member landfills encourage proper yard waste management through advertisements and presentations to the public about backyard composting. Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency and the Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center promote their compost programs as well as make the finished compost and mulch available to residents and landscaping businesses. ECICOG staff assists communities in implementing yard waste collection programs and establishing open burning bans. Some communities in the ECICOG planning area operate sites that manage residential yard waste on a small scale. These communities inform their residents through billing statements or city newsletters. Household hazardous materials: Each landfill in the ECICOG planning area has a collection facility for household hazardous waste. Though the tonnage is not significant, removing hazardous materials from landfills significantly reduces toxicity. Materials collected in these programs are recycled, re -used, or properly disposed. Print materials, websites, and advertising promote the hazardous materials programs in each service area. In addition, safe management of household hazardous materials was one of the summer library reading program themes. In addition to serving Linn County households and conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQGs), the Cedar Rapids Linn County Pollution Prevention Center collects hazardous materials from the satellite collection centers in Benton, Iowa, and Tama counties within the ECICOG Solid Waste Planning Area and Buchanan County outside the region. The solid waste agency also hosts mobile collections at various communities in Linn County throughout the year. The mobile collection unit is also available to pick up material from CESQGs by appointment. The Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center accepts hazardous materials from CESQGs as well as households in Johnson County as well as Riverside and Kalona in Washington County. Mobile collections are available to communities, neighborhood groups, and CESQGs throughout the service area. The satellite collection center at the Jones County Landfill accepts materials from households. Electronic waste: Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency established a collection program for computers in 1999. The program has expanded to include computers, televisions, and all electronic devices. Linn County residents may drop off electronic waste free of charge at Site #2 and Site #1. During fiscal year 2010, the program collected XX tons of electronic waste to be processed for recycling / proper disposal. Print materials and the website promote the electronic waste program. Utilizing a grant from the DNR, the Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center established a comprehensive electronic waste collection program in April 2003. Computer monitors and televisions are accepted for a fee, while other electronic components are accepted at no charge. 27 ECICOG Compreheyasive Playa 2011 -2017 DK4FT Approximately 107 tons of electronic waste is collected each year for recycling and proper disposal. Advertising, print materials and their website promote the program. The landfills in Benton, Iowa, and Jones counties established electronic waste collection programs in 2005, 2006, and 2009 respectively. Televisions and computer equipment are accepted for a fee at the landfills for recycling and proper disposal. Print materials and advertising promote these programs. Asphalt shingles: A handful of private businesses have experimented with shingle recycling in the planning area. To date, one company continues to operate. The shingles are ground and used in road construction. Recycling: Increasing education and presenting consistent recycling messages have been the emphasis during the last two planning cycles. ECICOG staff assists the four rural landfill service areas with education and advertising activities to promote the recycling services they offer. The two larger landfill service areas have increased education efforts and implemented improvements to their respective drop -off recycling programs as described below. • Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency established a staff - assisted, drive through recycling drop -off at Site #2. Customers pull their vehicle into a building to recycle commingled recyclables, glass, plastic bags, textiles, sharps, electronics, household batteries, cellular phones, fluorescent bulbs, anti - freeze, automotive batteries, motor oil, and oil filters during landfill hours. • Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center established a new recycling drop -off at the East Side Recycling Center. In addition to a drop -off for cardboard, paper, glass, plastic, and metal, the site also hosts the Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity's Restore to recycle or purchase building materials. Future plans for the site include an environmental education building, waste oil and electronic waste drop -off, compost and wood chip pick -up station, and space for the Furniture Project and Salvage Barn. The recycling drop -off containers located around Iowa City also received improvements. The containers were painted and labeled to make them more visible and easier to use for the public. Recycling opportunities in each community in the ECICOG Planning Area are summarized in Table 7.1. The locations and availability of residential recycling drop -offs are summarized in Appendix E. 7.5 New Waste Reduction and Recycling Programs Programs implemented since the previous plan update are summarized in Table 7.2. The new programs are listed by member landfill. Additional details regarding public education strategies mentioned here are described in Section 7.1. 28 q U 0 U W O r O N 06 O O N N c � N N L �a N � L a N N N � 0 O V cn NU �0 �U mU O W O N N N +� Y U 0 .2 Y U � +o -a c a) U c O Co N O V Co N a) N O 7 ++ a) c0 a) a) a) 0 a 2� a) U_ j, 0 V) c L � N co a) a) a) o a U (n a) U_ > �, O > ! c i a) ao ca p ca �, � — • moo/ ca •L i � c..i a) W U Y a co C L L N Q) y L CO a) y--i O U LL N Q) Y CU '�/�/, � VJ c0 a) LL O O r rte+ U CU CU U E //L� C� LL E :3 - (n co a) CU CU U E LLL O O r rte+ U N y cu U U cu cu U U V a) N a) a) N 3 a Q "a 0) "a 0) N Q "= Q a 0) -a N "a 0) LL y c a c a cu °� co cu cu cu U) -1 J-0 U UUU UJ-0 U J-0 c0 m O — c`0 N �— ° 0(n O O 0-5 O O co 0-5 0 c O N > L 0 0 U O U ° c U O U U J O U O U U U Wcn W wmJ U) U) Wcn w W a) c o °6 (n 06 (n O c 06 (n d U 06 O (n a) c (n a) 0) c O (n a) c C7 a) a) L N c c a' N v ca c 0 N •U a) a� N a) O p L L to c a) —0-5 a) to .0 a) a� a c 0 �? c tv N° p CU c U U o c (n 'v) a) c co N 'in 2 (n o 3 U -a c (n n � '� � U •� Q � �a)ca)U CO m c "-U a) d o W (n CU U) c U) � doU)w ..

Evaluation of Progress Toward Goals The ECICOG Solid Waste TAC and member boards and commissions evaluated progress towards the state's waste reduction and recycling goals using a combination of the three DNR recommended methodologies. These methodologies included a trend analysis of goal progress, an analysis of existing programs, and a stakeholder goal setting process. Each member landfill board or commission went through this process at one or more meetings listed in Table 3.1. This section will describe the methods used and a general evaluation of goal progress from a regional perspective. Section ten includes a description of progress made toward the 2008 goals for each member landfill as well as a table listing the new goals for 2011 to 2017. The evaluation format used by ECICOG staff varied slightly with each member board /commission, but generally followed three steps. 1. Review member specific and regional goal progress figures for the plan update as well as the trend since the initial plan. 2. Review member specific waste diversion program lists and discussed areas for improvement. 3. Review member specific waste reduction goals from the 2008 plan update as a guide to develop new goals for 2011 — 2017. Goal Progress Trends. ECICOG staff presented waste reduction goal progress figures, provided by the DNR, to the Solid Waste TAC and member landfill boards and commissions. Regional goal progress figures reached a peak in the 2000 plan update at 44% and have slipped slightly for the last three plan updates to 34% in 2010. Board and commission members generally discussed the trend and theorized possible explanations including: • population and economic growth not corrected through the base year adjustment formula • increase in single use prod ucts \packaging over the past 10 years • increased fuel costs limiting recycling collection Although there is no specific data to indicate a reason for the decline in the waste reduction goal progress figures, these general observations are believed to play a role. Existing Program Analysis. A list of waste reduction programs was developed for each member landfill and distributed to board /commission members for review. Board /commission members discussed the strengths and weaknesses of each program as well as ways to improve diversion. During the planning exercise, members were asked to identify new diversion programs they would consider implementing. In some cases, the members were asked to provide comments in written form to encourage more candid participation. In general, there was an overall satisfaction with the availability and quality of programs, but board /commission members felt there was a lack of program awareness and use among the public. The discussion focused on ways to expand public education and promote the waste diversion programs already offered by the landfills. Aside from increasing education, there were few other program improvements suggested. Goal Setting Process. The final step in the evaluation /planning session was to set goals for the next six years as part of the comprehensive plan update. The goals from the 2008 plan update were used as a starting point for each member landfill. Board /commission members were given the opportunity to keep, update, delete or add goals throughout the process. In most cases, the new goals were an extension of the 2008 goals with more focus on public education and advertising services. New waste reduction goals are detailed in section ten. ECICOG Comprehetiszve Plali 2011 -2017 DK AFT 9. Analysis Of Other Solid Waste Management Methods The ECICOG Solid Waste TAC as a group as well as individual members have considered or investigated numerous methods of managing solid waste and recyclables. Among the projects being considered or currently reviewed at the regional and /or local level are the following. Anaerobic Digester. The Anama Society Farms has constructed an anaerobic digester that converts organic wastes to electricity. The ECICOG SWTAC toured this facility and refers organic waste generators that could use the facility. Bio- Ethanol. Fiberight Blairstown Operations, LLC has converted an existing ethanol plant in Blairstown to convert organic wastes to bio- ethanol. The ECICOG SWTAC toured this facility and is in the process of amending them into the comp plan. Recycling C & D Wastes. The IWE representative is working with various projects in the region to divert C & D wastes. Materials Recovery Facility. The Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency is in the design stage of constructing a facility capable of serving as a material recovery facility, particularly for C & D wastes. The Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center is considering the establishment of a material recovery facility at the landfill and has researched other facilities. Waste to Energy. Waste to energy projects continue to be discussed, including mass burning, refuse derived fuel (RDF), gasification, and pyrolysis. Conversion Technologies. The Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency has researched several conversion technologies including plasma arc technology. The Agency Board approved an agreement to provide waste to a plasma arc facility proposed in Marion. 34 ECICOG C'omprehetiszvePlali 2011 -2017 10. Implementation Timeline DK AFT 10.1 ECICOG Six -Year Implementation Plan and Schedule (2011 -2017) In creating its action plan, the ECICOG Solid Waste Technical Advisory Committee considered the goals and comments recorded at meetings in each county. ECICOG continues to focus on education, research, and assistance to member communities and counties. Progress toward goals listed in the 2008 implementation plan is described below. ❑ Continue to support opportunities for regional cooperation. ECICOG member solid waste management commissions /landfills continue to meet monthly to discuss relevant issues and share information implying regional cooperation. ECICOG has: • Developed a process for handling out -of- service -area waste disposal requests and managing asbestos containing material within the ECICOG comp planning area. • Facilitated contract renewals for regional processing services for both waste tires and white goods (appliances). • Assisted Jones County to establish an electronic waste collection program utilizing the processing contract negotiated by the Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Agency. • Developed and submitted a regional integrated solid waste management plan. ❑ Continue to provide assistance to member cities, counties, and waste management commissions. ■ Assist cities with RFP development, collection contracts, and solid waste ordinances. ■ Provide information about collection contracts, curbside programs, and unit -based pricing systems to communities considering program changes such as Anamosa, Hiawatha, and Tama. ■ Assist Jones County Solid Waste Management Commission in updating their 28E agreement and bylaws. ❑ Educate the public about waste reduction. ■ Promote the Summer Library Reading Program and other presentations to children. ■ Write and administer grant applications for projects such as school recycling in Benton and Iowa counties and the Secondary Mini -MRF education grant. ■ Develop an electronic newsletter distributed quarterly to city and county officials and staff. ■ Presented at several state teacher conferences as well as the annual Waste Reduction teacher's workshop offered by the University of Northern Iowa. ❑ Promote the use of the Iowa Waste Exchange. ECICOG houses the Iowa Waste Exchange program to ensure a continued focus on the businesses in the planning area. Linking the IWE representative and the ECICOG solid waste planning department has developed contacts benefiting both activities. Goals and activities for 2011 -2017 are on the following pages. 35 q U V 0 U W ti r O N r r O N N Q V Q C Q Q C� G Q .O Q L a Q c O U W M y o ° o g° o g° CO o g cc o CL O W 0 0 ° U j w w U a U o wa U W W � ca W W �5 ca W W ca U d CO L 0 U) Q 0) co O zQ_0 LL Owe a) Cl) cu 0 0 c >+ � v6 _ c °� Cl) c O L cm g g y v6, � a) � CO C ?

Progress toward goals listed in the 2008 implementation plan is described below. ❑ Increase public education about waste management / recycling. The Benton County Solid Waste Disposal Commission sponsored various education activities since the 2008 comp plan update including: The Commission provided matching funds for a SWAP grant to improve recycling programs in all the schools in Benton County. The grant also included a five - lesson education program for a grade level in each school. The students learned about resource conservation, recycling, composting, reuse /waste reduction, and landfilling. ■ Continue to support ECICOG's education plan including the Summer Library Reading Program, print materials, school assemblies, and the Garbage Grapevine E- newsletter. ■ Continue to offer scholarships to Benton County teachers who attend the waste reduction workshop offered through UNI. ❑ Encourage use of household hazardous materials (HHM) program. Benton County maintains a permanent satellite facility for the collection of HHM at the landfill. Participates in the regional service contract with the satellites in Iowa and Tama counties. ❑ Review & improve recycling drop -off program. The Benton County Landfill applied for SWAP funds to improve their recycling drop -off program including new containers, signage and education. ❑ Review recyclable ban at the landfill. Although there have not been any fines levied against haulers bringing in recyclables in their waste loads, the amount of recyclables has declined since the ban implementation January 2004. ❑ Continue recycling programs at landfill. ■ Maintain a drop -off at the landfill for paper, plastic, metal, and glass. ■ Electronics, tires, appliances, scrap metal, and lead acid batteries are accepted for recycling at the Benton County Landfill. The landfill participates in the regional collection and processing contracts for waste tires and white goods facilitated by ECICOG.

Progress toward goals listed in the 2008 implementation plan is described below. ❑ Promote recycling opportunities. ■ The REIC continues to promote private recycling drop -offs in the county. S &J Sanitation in Marengo opened a new drop -off for recyclables expanding access to recycling for that community. The REIC continues to promote the use of the Amana Refrigeration and Cox Sanitation drop -offs located in Amana and North English respectively. ■ A collection container to recycle corrugated cardboard was added at the Iowa County Landfill. The REIC will continue that effort and consider adding more materials. ❑ Continue & expand education efforts. The Iowa County REIC sponsored various education activities since the 2008 comp plan update including: ■ The REIC provided matching funds for a SWAP grant to improve recycling programs in all the schools in Iowa County. The grant also included a five - lesson education program for a grade level in each school. The students learned about resource conservation, recycling, composting, reuse /waste reduction, and landfilling. ■ Continue to support ECICOG's education plan including the Summer Library Reading Program, print materials, school assemblies, and the Garbage Grapevine E- newsletter. ■ Continue to offer scholarships to Iowa County teachers who attend the waste reduction workshop offered through UNI. ❑ Household hazardous materials (HHM) program. Iowa County maintains a permanent satellite facility for the collection of HHM at the landfill. Participates in the regional service contract with the satellites in Benton and Tama counties. ❑ Continue recycling programs for special materials. ■ Electronics, tires, appliances, and scrap metal are accepted for recycling at the Iowa County Landfill. The landfill participates in the regional collection and processing contracts for waste tires and white goods facilitated by ECICOG. ■ Added collection boxes for rechargeable batteries at several locations in the county. ❑ Construct disposal capacity. After reviewing the alternatives, the REIC moved forward with plans to build new landfill capacity at their existing site. Opened the new Subtitle D landfill cell in 2010.

The committee met in August 2010 to discuss progress towards waste reduction and recycling goals during the past three years and to establish goals for the next six years. Progress toward goals listed in the 2008 implementation plan is described below. ❑ Recycling education. ■ The Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center educates the public through presentations, tours, and displays at local events. Other educational efforts include advertising in local newspapers, press releases, and press interviews regarding specific programs and projects. ■ Continue to support ECICOG's education plan including the Summer Library Reading Program, print materials, school assemblies, and the Garbage Grapevine E- newsletter. • The Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center continues to offer scholarships to teachers in Johnson County or Riverside and Kalona, who attend the waste reduction workshop offered through UNI. • ECO Iowa City, a grant- funded education initiative with the Iowa City Public Library, directly reached more than 11,000 residents with education about recycling, composting, hazardous waste, energy efficiency and storm water management. ❑ Expand Composting. The Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center continues to expand their composting activities by accepting more organic wastes such as food. The University of Iowa has expanded their pilot food waste collection to include more buildings on campus. A local hauler has secured several food waste collections at businesses as well. ❑ Regional Collection Center for Household Hazardous Materials (HHM). ■ The Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center maintains a Regional Collection Center (RCC) for the collection of hazardous materials at the landfill for use by residents and conditionally exempt small quantity generators in Johnson County and the cities of Kalona & Riverside in Washington County. The mobile unit is available for collection events in neighboring communities, neighborhoods in Iowa City or CESQG appointments. ■ During fiscal year 2010, the RCC collected 72,106 pounds of hazardous materials from 1,912 residential and exempt customers. ❑ Continue recycling programs for special materials. ■ Tires, appliances, scrap metal, motor oil, lead acid batteries, and yard waste are accepted for recycling /composting at the Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center. The landfill participates in the regional collection and processing contracts for waste tires and white goods facilitated by ECICOG. ■ Continued a collection program for electronic waste recycling that was initiated in 2003. Tonnages increased almost 300% in the first eight years of the program to around 107 tons per year. 47 ECICOU Compreheyasive Playa 2011 -2017 ❑ Multi- family recycling. DK AFT ■ The drop -off recycling sites continue to be improved for easier public use. Through SWAP funding, several new containers were added in 2010 for a total of 18 for recycling cardboard, paper, plastic, metal and glass. The bins were also re- painted and signage was updated. The Eastside Recycling Center is under construction and is planned to be complete in summer 2011. The site will host the expanded, Habitat for Humanity Restore, the Salvage Barn, the Furniture Project, drop -off recycling bins, oil and electronics recycling areas, pick up areas for Iowa City Community Compost and woodchips, numerous energy- saving and storm water management features and a LEED- certified environmental education center. ■ The Rummage in the Ramp event, held at the end of July when leases change over, annually collects 25 tons of furniture and house wares normally destined for the landfill and diverts to public garage sale. The event continues to expand. The Landfill is working with the University to offer a dorm move -out program in May 2011. ❑ Review /evaluate waste & recycling collection programs. ■ The Landfill continues to work with the U of I to support their mini -waste sorts held at several different locations on campus. These waste sorts have led to new waste reduction efforts in multiple instances. Most notably, the School of Dentistry began purchasing gowns that could be laundered and reused instead of disposable gowns. ■ The Landfill researched and recommended changes to the curbside recycling program. A dual- stream program will go into effect in April 2011 with an accompanying educational campaign. The change is intended to increase stagnant curbside recycling rates. ❑ Increase recycling and waste reduction among the commercial sector. The Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center works closely with the IWE to refer potential businesses to the local representative. ❑ Construction & demolition waste. The Iowa City Landfill encourages the separation of clean wood waste, which is chipped and added to the landfill compost facility.

Progress toward goals listed in the 2008 implementation plan is described below. ❑ Update Solid Waste Commission 28E Agreement. The Jones County Solid Waste Management Commission updated their 28E Agreement written in 1972. The updated version simplifies the commission's representation and designates the Jones County Transfer Station as the disposal facility for all the waste generated in Jones County. A copy of the updated 28E Agreement is included in Attachment C. ❑ Residential recycling education. The Jones County Solid Waste Management Commission sponsored various education activities since the 2008 comp plan update including: ■ Continue to support ECICOG's education plan including the Summer Library Reading Program, print materials, school assemblies, and the Garbage Grapevine E- newsletter. ■ Continue to offer scholarships to Iowa County teachers who attend the waste reduction workshop offered through UNI. ❑ Business and industry recycling. Solid waste commission /landfill personnel continued to make referrals to the Iowa Waste Exchange and assist businesses with waste reduction and recycling as requested. ❑ Continue to provide recycling drop -off at landfill. ■ Maintain a drop -off at the landfill for paper, plastic, metal, and glass. ■ Tires, appliances, scrap metal, lead acid batteries, and fluorescent bulbs are accepted for recycling at the Jones County Landfill. The landfill participates in the regional collection and processing contracts for waste tires and white goods facilitated by ECICOG. ❑ Encourage use of household hazardous materials (HHM) program.
