PROCLAMATION
Co/,pk
Remembrance of the 10th Anniversary of September 11th
Whereas, on September 11, 2001 nearly 3,000 innocent civilians were killed in the attacks in New
York City, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania; and
Whereas, tens of thousands of individuals narrowly escaped the attacks at the Pentagon and World
Trade Center and, as witnesses to this tragedy, are forever changed; and
Whereas, countless fire departments, police departments, first responders, governmental officials,
workers, emergency medical personnel, and volunteers responded immediately and heroically to
those events.
Now, therefore, I, Matthew J. Hayek, Mayor of the City of Iowa City, do hereby proclaim and
recognize September 11, 2011 as a day of solemn commemoration and a day to come together as a
Nation; and ask members of our community to:
(1) remember the families, friends, and loved ones of the innocent victims of the September 11, 2001,
attacks; and
(2) honor the service, actions, and sacrifices of first responders, law enforcement and fire personnel,
State and local officials, volunteers, and countless others who aided the innocent victims of those attacks
and, in doing so, bravely risked and often gave their own lives; and
(3) recognize the service, actions, and sacrifices of United States personnel, including members of the
United States Armed Forces, the United States intelligence agencies, the United States diplomatic
service, homeland security and law enforcement personnel, and their families, who have given so much,
including their lives and well- being, to support the cause of freedom and defend the security of the
United States; and
(4) do our part as individuals to reduce conflict between and among societies, cultures and faiths
throughout the world.
Signed in Iowa City, Iowa,

Subject: League of Women Voters of Johnson County- Series on the U.S. Constitution
Please find attached an overview of the series of community conversations on the U.S. Constitution and the
Supreme Court that the League of Women Voters of Johnson County is sponsoring beginning this month and
continuing through May of 2012.
Please note, we have reached out to several community organizations to be supporters and co- sponsors of the
series and individual events. They will all help us publicize the series and each event therein. We have both
purchased media and earned media campaigns underway. We hope this will help us fulfill the promise of a
community conversation.
We are writing to ask you if you would be willing to include notice of the series and individual events in your
city's newsletters, on facebook etc. The series will be posted on our website at: www.iclwv.org so a quick
referral to the site would be very helpful.
Thank you for your consideration. And please, let us know if you can help us get the word out. We will send
you a monthly notice outlining that month's event.

The United States Constitution & The Supreme Court: Their impact on your daily life
A Series of Community Conversations
Sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Johnson County Education Fund.
Project Overview
The fundamental goal of this project is to make the U.S. Constitution and the final arbiter of its
meaning, the U.S. Supreme Court, better understood and accessible to citizens through
discussion of current issues from corporate citizenship to a woman's right to choose in the
context of the current body of law and new legal theory. The law will be discussed in the
context of the social, political, and economic factors that influenced it and how those same
factors are influencing our current debate. if the Constitution both shapes and reflects civil
society, what is the story it tells and what is the current narrative?
THE SERIES has seven parts. No presentation in either December or January.

Chairperson Harney called the Johnson County Board of Supervisors to order in the
Johnson County Health and Human Services Building at 4:32 p.m. Members present
were: Pat Harney, Terrence Neuzil, Janelle Rettig, Sally Stutsman, and Rod Sullivan.
Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee Members present were: Department of
Corrections Supervisor Jerri Allen, MECCA Director Ron Berg, Iowa City City Council
Member Connie Champion, Citizen Representative Bob Elliott, Iowa City Public
Defender's Managing Attorney Peter Persaud, County Sheriff Lonny Pulkrabek, Judge
Douglas Russell, Citizen Representative Professor Emeritus John Stratton, and
Consultation of Religious Communities Representative Dorothy Whiston; absent were:
Iowa City Public Library Adult Service Coordinator Kara Logsden, County Attorney
Janet Lyness, and Bar Association Representative James McCarragher. Staff present
were: Executive Assistant Andy Johnson and Auditor's Office Recording Secretary
Emily Lentz.
Harney asked the guests in attendance to introduce themselves and they did so as
follows: OPN Architects Principal David Sorg, Reilly Johnson Architecture Partner
Robert Johnson, former University of Iowa Campus Planner Larry Wilson, Hoefer
Wysocki Architects Principal Ken Henton, and Hoefer Wysocki Architects Associate
David Mendez.
REPORT FROM ALTERNATIVES AND TREATMENTS SUBCOMMITTEE
Harney announced that County Attorney Janet Lyness is unable to attend the present
meeting. Mid - Eastern Council on Chemical Abuse Director Ron Berg said he is not
aware that there are any updates.
REPORT FROM PUBLIC INFORMATION /OUTREACH SUBCOMMITTEE
Neuzil said the Public Information /Outreach Subcommittee is continuing to work on
their events timeline, which is due sometime in October 2011. They are also looking at
the other subcommittees' objectives to ensure that everyone is working toward their
priorities. Iowa City City Council Member Connie Champion said she was reading
Informal Minutes: August 3, 2011/ page 2
through a draft of the brochure and it seems to be very wordy. Neuzil said the document
is written that way on purpose. That draft is intended for the online version. The actual
brochure for public distribution will be much leaner. Stutsman asked if they are still
accepting input. Neuzil said yes, so people can contact him if they have ideas or would
like a copy of the draft.
Stutsman said she knows the poll conducted at the Johnson County Fair (Fair) was
very unscientific, and she asked if the Public Information /Outreach Subcommittee has
talked about the results of that. Neuzil said no, and he said he was not very excited about
that question. The question asked if people support a new jail, but as everyone knows,
this is about more than a jail; it is about the proposed justice center. He said the question
from the Auditor's Office was moot from the very beginning.
Sullivan said people talk about the under -vote in every election. Items that are at the
top of the ballot, such as the president, are always voted on in higher percentages than
items at the bottom of the ballot, such as judge retention. A ballot initiative would be the
last entry on a ballot. Sullivan said he thinks the justice center would be of interest to the
people who attended the Fair, but there was still about a 66% drop between the number of
people voting for the president and the number voting on the proposed justice center.
This is something the Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee (CJCC) will have to keep
in mind.
Consultation of Religious Communities Representative Dorothy Whiston asked what
the outcome of the poll at the Fair was. Sullivan said the proposed justice center passed
with a 52% approval response. Stutsman said she did not check on the poll's status on
the last day of the Fair, but the topic was fairly evenly divided when she looked earlier in
the week. Champion said she thinks it is great that the initiative passed. Neuzil said the
group that participates in the poll is usually fairly conservative. Sullivan said it will take
a 60% approval for the initiative to pass. Rettig said she emphasized that the vote is not
scientific; its purpose is to let people use voting equipment, learn how to vote, and have a
good time. Sullivan said the 52% approval response to the proposed justice center was
much better than an overwhelming negative response.
REPORT FROM FACILITIES SUBCOMMITTEE
Harney said he received a letter dated July 29th from the General Services
Administration (GSA) thanking the CJCC for its letter and its diligence in providing the
information needed to facilitate an agreement. The letter continued to state GSA is
reviewing the County's proposal, conducting a preliminary financial analysis, and intends
to follow up by August 29, 2011 to discuss the next steps. The letter reiterated GSA's
commitment to the project and said they are interested in reaching a solution that is in the
best interest of both parties.
Judge Douglas Russell asked for a copy of the GSA letter to be sent to him at the
Courthouse so he can share the progress with the chief judge. Harney agreed to provide a
copy of the letter.
Informal Minutes: August 3, 2011 / page 3
Facilities Manager David Kempf said the Request for Quotation (RFQ) generated
many inquiries and he has been organizing site visits. One occurred today and others are
scheduled for August 8th and August 10th. Neuzil asked what the site visits include.
Kempf said they are touring the existing Courthouse to note the condition it is in. They
look at courtrooms and office space within the Courthouse. They also discuss the outside
of the building, including property lines and boundaries, property the County owns, the
property the County has access to, and the possibility of acquiring the GSA property.
Kempf said they also walk through the first floor of the Sheriff s Office.
Neuzil asked what questions Kempf has received from the participants. Kempf said
he receives pretty standard questions about previous renovations, floor plans, and
Kempf s opinion on what needs to be addresses. He includes information about the
completion of Phase 1 of the Courthouse tuck - pointing project, and about the Courthouse
being on the National Register of Historic Places and that the new structure would need
to maintain that integrity. Kempf said he will also accept written questions and he will
put the Courthouse floor plans online.
Champion asked if Kempf expected such a large response to the RFQ. Kempf said
the response is pretty consistent with what he expected. He feels it is a large and
desirable project that has a high chance of success in the community.
Sullivan asked if CJCC members understand the interview process schedule. Neuzil
said the Subcommittee will review applications at the end of September and the Board
will review them in early October.
Rettig asked what the deadline is for submitting applications. Kempf said August 22,
2011.
REPORT FROM FUNDING /GRANTS SUBCOMMITTEE
Rettig provided a handout to committee members and said the numbers on the
property tax implications changed slightly from last month's report. These figures are
not definite. She said she was asked why bond for $40 million if this is a $39 million
project. It is easier to do the math on $40, but in addition, if the bond is for $40 million,
the County will not receive the full $40 million. Rather, they receive $39,585,750.
Borrowing $40 million will cost the County about $2,871,000 to $2,873,000 per year.
Rettig said, for example, if a property is worth $200,000, the owner would pay $4,364
in property taxes per year for a justice center bond. That figure is the same with Ag land
and commercial property. Commercial property has no rollback right now. Ag land has
a lesser rollback than residential property.
Rettig said the estimated annual costs shown in section C of the handout are still a
work in progress. Sullivan said the good news is that the cost to the General Fund is
Informal Minutes: August 3, 2011/ page 4
basically a wash. The County is purchasing a building through the Debt Service and
there is no difference between the General Fund and the Debt Service at this point.
Rettig said the County pays for operating costs out of money received outside of Tax
Increment Financing (TIF) Districts. The County pays for Debt Service from all tax
paying properties in Johnson County. TIF money is exempt from Debt Service.
Harney said the proposed facility will be larger than the current facility and he asked
if security costs are factored into sheriff staff costs. Rettig said the report calculates new
sheriff costs and current costs are not factored in. The report is as accurate as it can be
until they know more about the building's design. Rettig asked Pulkrabek about whether
certain areas would be staffed with uniformed deputies or jail operators. The salary
difference is around $20,000 per year. Pulkrabek said it would be staffed with jail
operators. Rettig said staffing certain areas with jail operators would save the County
some money, but there are areas with inmate contact which must be staffed by a
uniformed officer.
Pulkrabek said Sheriff's Office staff went over many staffing possibilities. It is
difficult to estimate staffing costs when they do not yet know the building design.
Champion said there will be some other savings too, for example savings on inmate
transportation. Rettig said the County has a good deal where they are now. Muscatine
County is charging less and transporting the inmates. The report still includes the inmate
transportation costs before the Muscatine County deal was in place. The County may pay
more for transport costs after they have been saving for a few months.
Stutsman asked if the Finance Subcommittee talked about the impact if a commercial
tax rollback is put in place. Rettig said no. The Finance Subcommittee has a report on
the ruling of the case Krupp Place Co -ops v. the Jasper County Board of Review. The
case regarded apartment complexes taxed at commercial rates and the plaintiff argued
that co -ops should be taxed at residential rates. The Iowa Supreme Court upheld that.
There are only nine co -ops in Iowa City, but they expect that to skyrocket. Co -op
properties are considered residential and get rollbacks. Co -ops are taxed at about 50% of
their value. Rettig said Johnson County could face financial troubles if all rental
properties go co -op. Co -ops are not supposed to gain profits, but they may be able to
avoid trouble by determining the landlord is an investor. Rettig said she was told that
some landlords' tax attorneys told them to be careful because there can be problems with
capital gains. Therefore some of the landlords with a large volume of properties will
probably not want to become co -ops because of the capital gains talk.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS FROM CRIMINAL JUSTICE COORDINATING
COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Stutsman said the CJCC has missed representation from the Public Defender's Office
she is grateful Persaud is here and making the time to attend meetings.
Informal Minutes: August 3, 2011/ page 5
Neuzil said the Solon Economist and North Liberty Leader newspapers intend to do a
story on the justice center and may contact CJCC members for information. Russell
asked CJCC members to remind people that the project is not only a jail but a justice
center.
SET NEXT MEETING DATE
Harney said the next CJCC meeting is scheduled for September 7, 2011 at 4:30 p.m.

Mr. Chuck Wexler, Chairman

Task Force on Secure Communities
CD
Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC)
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Washington, D.C. 20528
.=.fn°'
Dear "�h1uck:
cn
It has been an honor over the last several weeks to work with you and our colleagues
on the Task Force on Secure Communities. We were asked to provide
recommendations to improve the Secure Communities program and I have taken this
responsibility very seriously. While there are many strong components to the report
issued today to the Homeland Security Advisory Council by the Task Force, I believe it
does not go far enough in making specific and enforceable recommendations that would
repair the damaged relationship between immigrants and local police. In good
conscience, I am unable to endorse this report and respectfully resign from the Task
Force.
I believe that Secure Communities is a deeply flawed program and that, in its current
form, it is undermining public safety. I have been consistent throughout the listening,
negotiation and drafting phases of this Task Force process that the preservation of
community policing, and the relationship between police and the immigrant community
is an utmost priority.
At the beginning of this process, my colleagues at the National Latino Peace Officers
Association submitted a letter to the Task Force with their assessment of the problem
and the changes needed. They wrote: "When non - criminal immigrants are deported
after having contact with local law enforcement, it sends a message to the community
that we are agents of Immigration. This leads immigrant crime victims and witnesses to
think twice before coming to us with information about real crimes. Crimes go
unreported, justice goes un- served, and the entire community suffers."
The NLPOA went on to offer three recommendations for the task force:
1. Tailor the program to focus only on individuals convicted of serious
crimes Civil immigration enforcement against non - criminals should be the job of
federal immigration agents, not state and local police.
2. Clarify the limits of police authority to enforce civil immiaration laws. The
immigrant community needs to know that they can work with state and local
police to put criminals behind bars and not risk their own deportation.
3. Create accountability mechanisms so these changes aren't merely
voluntary. The limits on police roles and authority must be strictly respected and
enforced by federal, state, and local law enforcement. This is the only way we
can credibly repair the damage done to community policing.
I've used the NLPOA letter as my barometer over the last few weeks and have thus
argued that reforms to the Secure Communities program must be focused narrowly on
identifying individuals convicted of serious crimes who are candidates for deportation,
rather than facilitating the deportation of individuals who have committed a minor
criminal offense or no crime at all.
Unfortunately, the recommendations contained in the task force report fall far short of
these principles. If the scheme recommended by the task force is implemented,
individuals simply arrested for minor violations, including traffic violations, will still be put
through the system. The federal government will decide whether they are candidates
for deportation, based on enforcement priorities that include people whose only "crime"
is a prior civil immigration violation. I believe that many people with minor infractions,
such as driving without a license, will still be put into deportation proceedings based on
the scheme recommended by the task force. Immigrants will continue to fear that
contact with the police could lead to deportation, crimes will go unreported, and
criminals will remain free to prey on others. Civil immigration enforcement will continue
to trump crime control in our communities.
What's more, immigrants charged with more serious offenses, but never convicted,
have no protection in the task force report. It seems we are agreeing to turn the long -
stand principle of "innocent until proven guilty" on its head for certain groups of people.
If you are an immigrant, and you are charged with a more serious offense, you are
"guilty until proven innocent" and you will be referred for deportation. As an immigrant
myself, and as an American, I cannot support that differing standard. 1,
E5 E-2
At the Task Force hearing in Los Angeles, I heard testimony from a wor t vhO*as -7111
arrested for selling popsicles without a license and put into deportation pfgUed"iRgs
through the Secure Communities program. When I look at the recomme+ tioas in tpts
report, I think about that woman, and the wave of fear her arrest and peg -t,
CO
deportation has caused in her community. Had the task force recommendations been
in place at the time, I believe she would have had the exact same experience.
I was honored to be chosen to participate in this task force and I took our work very
seriously. In particular, our friendship goes back decades and I want to make sure that
you understand that my decision is about the serious problems with program and the
need to immediately correct them. I thank you for the leadership role you played in
what was a very difficult, but important effort. However, after all of the hearings and
expert testimony, and all of our deliberations, I can only conclude that unless the
program is placed on hold and not expanded until the reforms recommended by the
NLPOA are implemented, Secure Communities will continue to do great harm to the
relationship between local police and immigrants, undermine our efforts to work with all
members of the community to fight crime, place our national security at risk and create
insecure communities for all of us.
Sincerely,
sr,
A'furo Venegas,

Mascari
Staff Present: Sue Dulek, Michael Tharp
Others Present: Jeff Edberg, Matt Wolford, Philip Wolford, Eric Scott
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: Ito become effective only after separate Council
action): None
CALL TO ORDER:
Chairperson Gardinier called the meeting to order at 6:08 P.M.
APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES:
The minutes of the June 16, 2011, meeting were briefly discussed. Mascari moved to
approve the June 16, 2011, minutes as submitted; seconded by Crane. Motion carried 5-
0.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
None.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION /ACTION:
a. Aviation Commerce Park — Jeff Edberg — Edberg addressed the Members, noting that
they have a new reporting system. He noted that since the last meeting he has not
received any additional calls on the lots, but that another broker thought he had a
possibility. Edberg continued, noting that he does have a very interested party and
plans are being developed for a 7,000- square foot facility for a commissary (kitchen)
type business. He also noted that the dog business who is interested in a lot is still
struggling with financing at this point.
b. Corporate Hangar L —
Public Hearing — Gardinier opened the public hearing. Eric Scott joined the
Members at the table, noting that he has plans and specs to share with them. Tharp
noted that what the Members are seeing is a modification of the previous plans. He
noted that the pricing of the 62 ft. x 65 ft. hangars is just too high for their budget.
Tharp continued to respond to questions and concerns about this change in the
hangar plans and specs. Members voiced their concerns about the sizing of this
hangar, with Mascari noting that he believes they are not ready yet to move forward
with this. He believes they need to look at this a bit more. Tharp stated that with the
Airport Commission
July 21, 2011
Page 2
budget they have to work with, they do have some limitations. Scott responded to
Members' questions, as well. Mascari asked for some clarification on the funding that
they do have and how much they would need to come up with. He asked if the State
still offers 70% money on infrastructure projects. Tharp and Scott continued to
respond to questions, explaining what led them to offer the alternative plans. The
discussion centered on a hangar with various sized doors and spaces, with Members
noting that they need to think about future needs and being flexible. Members
continued to discuss various configurations for a hangar. Jet Air weighed in as well
on what size hangars would best meet their needs. Members agreed that they would
like to have Eric Scott return with a cost estimate for the alternative configuration for
their review. Members continued to discuss what they would like to do, and Gardinier
went around the table to get everyone's opinion. Dulek then informed the Members
what they need to do in this situation. Gardinier then stated that she would like them
to accept this plan as discussed, until they get the addendum or alternate option.
Members decided to hold a special meeting on Thursday, August 4, 2011 at 6:00
P.M. Mascari moved to continue the public hearing at the 8/4/11 meeting.
Horan seconded the motion. Motion carried 5 -0.
ii. Consider a Resolution Approving Plans, Specifications, and Form of Contract for the
Construction of Hangar L — Mascari moved to defer this to the 8/4/11 meeting.
Horan seconded the motion. Motion carried 5 -0.
Mascari asked if the Commission could jump to Item g.i, as he has another commitment
and needed to leave the meeting early. Members agreed. [See discussion below.]
c. FAA/IDOT Projects — AECOM — David Hughes
i. Runway 7125 & 12/30 — Tharp noted that there isn't much to update. They are still
awaiting the FAA to get through the final documentation before this project can be
completely closed out.
ii. Obstruction Mitigation — Nothing new to report here.
iii.7 -25 Parallel Taxiway — Tharp noted that Public Works is currently doing the
independent review on this. That means the resolution needs to be deferred until the
next meeting.
1. Consider a Resolution Approving Agreement With AECOM for Construction
Related Services for the Construction of the Runway 7 -25 Parallel Taxiway
Grading and Drainage — Horan moved to defer the resolution until the August
4, 2011 special meeting. Crane seconded the motion. Motion carried 4 -0;
Mascari absent.
d. FY2012 Iowa Department of Transportation Grants — Tharp noted that the paperwork
has been received on one of the grants. This is for the exterior lighting, switching over to
LEDs, and more electrical work on the hangars, along with security upgrades. He noted
that the entire program was approved; however, funding for about $750,000 worth is still
pending the Governor's signature on legislation.
Airport Commission

Page 3
L Consider a Resolution Accepting Grant Agreement 911201OW100 —Horan moved to
recommend Resolution #A11 -18 Accepting Grant Agreement 911201OW100 as
discussed. Assouline seconded the motion. Motion carried 4 -0; Mascari
absent.
e. 2011 Air Race Classic — Tharp noted that he put this on the agenda, as he wanted to
thank the Jet Air staff for all they did during the Air Race Classic. He added that it was a
good event even though they did not get the final send -off due to the weather. Gardinier
noted that she received good feedback from the racers. One of the comments made at
the end of the race, according to Gardinier, was that the Air Race Classic should
consider places like Iowa City in the future.
2011 — 2012 T- Hangar Rates and Charges — Gardinier recused herself from this
discussion, as she has a conflict of interest in the matter. Tharp noted that it is that time
of the year again to start looking at rates and fees at the Airport. He noted that Members
received a memo from him laying out the background on this matter. His recom-
mendation is to raise rates based on the inflationary factor. Tharp responded to
Members' questions concerning hangar rates. Members also discussed the waiting list
numbers with the commission. Gardinier commented from the public that she felt
renters at the airport were paying a premium to have their aircraft here. Gardinier then
asked about the status of the waiting list to which Tharp responded. Wolford
commented that the construction of the new hangars would also impact the list. Tharp
noted that leases expire in September. Members looked at several different scenarios
and came to the agreement that a 2.5% increase is what they would like to go with.
Tharp stated that they will be using the same lease agreement, as this has not changed.
Horan moved to increase all rents by 2.5 %. Crane seconded the motion. Motion
carried 3 -0; Gardinier recused herself and Mascari absent.
g. Airport "Operations ": Strategic Plan Implementation; Budget; Management —
L Airport Operations Specialist Position [This item was discussed earlier, following
Item b.ii., as noted above.] — Mascari noted that he would like to review the
Operations Specialist position. He continued, stating that he believes they should
change this position from part-time status to full -time. He explained his reasoning
for this, adding that if they were to lose Tharp to another airport it would be a huge
loss for the Commission. He would like to see this change made in order to protect
their interests of having a full -time Airport manager. Gardinier noted that she would
support such a change. Gardinier asked Tharp to draft a rationale with specific
goals for how the additional time would benefit the Airport and the Commission. A
discussion ensued, with Members agreeing that this position should be full time.
The history of how this position developed was also discussed. Gardinier noted that
she would like to speak with the City Manager regarding the amount the Airport puts
toward the Economic Development Coordinator position. This amount would help
them in bringing the Airport position up to full time. (Mascari left the meeting at this
point.)
ii. Gardinier asked if anyone had anything regarding Airport operations. Tharp noted
that they are now in the new fiscal year. He stated that they ended with about
$70,000, but the parking lot overlay is still needed and that is around $40,000. This
leaves around $30,000 from last fiscal year. Tharp noted that he was notified of a
Airport Commission
July 21, 2011
Page 4
"homeless" encampment on some Airport property recently. He added that it will
take some time to clean up this area and that everything needs to be removed.
This will take some tractors that are able to knock down large brush. Tharp stated
that he is working with Carol Sweeting from City Hall on this issue. The discussion
continued, with Tharp noting that there were two areas with about 5 or 6 tents.
Gardinier stated that she believes the police should be watching this area more
closely if there are that many camps being kept. Tharp will let Members know what
he finds out from City staff. Gardinier stated that she believes they should get some
estimates on cost for removing this brush. Tharp added that he wants to see what
Carol Sweeting can come up with as she is suggesting volunteer help.
Tharp noted that he and Gardinier have been working on the accelerated hangar
debt repayment agreement. He noted that the current agreement distributed to
them is from the City Manager's office. He briefly explained the idea behind this
70/30 split, with 70% of sales proceeds paid directly to the City and with 30% of
sales proceeds retained by the Commission if needed for airport expenditures. This
will maintain the current status quo policy of the City matching funds. Tharp added
that if the Members are in agreement, they can move forward with this. Horan
moved to approve the agreement regarding hangar debt repayment and lot
sales, per the City Manager's agreement. Crane seconded the motion.
Motion carried 4 -0; Mascari absent.
h. FBO / Iowa Flight Training / Whirlybird Reports — Matt Wolford of Jet Air addressed
the Members, stating that they were really happy with the Air Race Classic turnout. He
noted that they have still been mowing a lot and keeping bushes trimmed. Philip
Wolford spoke next, stating that they will be switching fuel vendors in the near future,
sometime between August 15 and September 15. They will be going with Shell once the
change is made. He added that this brings his three locations under one fuel vendor
and ordering system. Philip also noted that Pat Sheridan's last day was the last day of
the Air Race (June 21) and that he has moved to Colorado for a job.
L Subcommittee Report— None.
j. Commission Members' Reports — Horan asked that Members check the Facebook
page for the Airport, adding that he put some photos up.
k. Staff Report — Tharp reminded Members that the FAA Airports Conference is coming up
in Kansas City, September 27 -28, 2011. He added that if anyone would like to join him
to please let him know.
SET NEXT REGULAR MEETING:
A special meeting will be held on Thursday, August 4, 2011, at 6:00 P.M., and the next regular
meeting will be Thursday, August 18, 2011, at 6:00 P.M. at the Airport Terminal building.
ADJOURN:
Gardinier made the motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:40 P.M.; seconded by Horan.
Motion carried 4 -0; Mascari absent.

MINUTES DRAFT
IOWA CITY AIRPORT COMMISSION
AUGUST 4, 2011 — 6:00 P.M.
AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING
Members Present: Jose Assouline, Steve Crane, Minnetta Gardinier, Howard Horan, Rick
Mascari
Staff Present: Sue Dulek, Michael Tharp
Others Present: Matt Wolford, Eric Scott
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: (to become effective only after separate Council
action): None
CALL TO ORDER:
Chairperson Gardinier called the meeting to order at 6:06 P.M.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION /ACTION:
a. Corporate Hangar L —
i. Public Hearing — Dulek reminded everyone present that this was a continuation of
the public hearing from the July 21 meeting. Tharp noted that Scott was distributing
cost estimates and the revised plans and specs which the Commission wanted to
see. Scott described the plan details with Members. Members asked questions
regarding the plans to which Scott responded. Mascari expressed caution for the
Commission and described the construction of Building F. Mascari noted that shortly
after the construction the FBO at the airport had left and that caused the budget
issues that the airport experienced. Mascari noted that given the economic climate
he felt spending this amount of money was not occurring at the best time. Members
discussed the financing of the project. Tharp noted that tonight the decision is to
send out the plans as presented to bid. Wolford noted that he felt the space was
needed and that getting more hangar space would be good. Wolford noted that the
fuel prices at Iowa City were less than other places in the area and that was also
attracting aircraft to the airport. Mascari reiterated his concern with the timing of the
project noting that this would be a vote that would not be unanimous.
ii. Consider a Resolution Approving Plans, Specifications, and Form of Contract for the
Construction of Hangar L — Crane moved resolution #A11 -19, seconded by
Assouline. Motion carried 4 -1, Mascari voting negative.
Scott asked about next meeting. Tharp noted that if the Commission meets for their regular
meeting on the 25th, they would not need to set a special meeting. Members discussed the new
date. Members agreed to move the regular meeting to the 25th at 5pm
b. FY2012 Iowa Department of Transportation Grant
i. Tharp noted this is the other grant that had been expected from the state. Tharp
noted that this grant covered the terminal repair work. Mascari asked what the
Airport Commission

Page 2
value of the grant was, and if there were matching funds required. Tharp noted
the grant value was $100,300 and that there was a 15% local match. Mascari
moved resolution #A11 -20, seconded by Horan. Motion carried 5 -0.
ADJOURN:
Meeting adjourned at 6:34pm.

Subject: Gilbert St. Project.
Tom,
Since they won't see all the trees for the Gilbert St. project going in at the same time I thought you might like a
little background in case there are questions from the Council. We have ordered the trees for the tree grates on
Gilbert St. Three of the four species requested, Columnar Norway Maple, Crimson Spire Oak, and standard Norway
Maple, which amount to 8 of the 16 trees for our portion of the project are available and will be shipped during the
week of September 12. They will be installed as soon as they come in.. The fourth species, eight Columnar Ginkgo's
are not available above ground at this time and must be dug out of a nursery. Since it is best for the trees to be dug
later in the fall they will be planted some time during the week of October 17th. There are a total of 18 trees to be
planted for this project. Two ornamentals will be planted close to the Mansion by the general contractor as part of the
main contract. The other 16 large trees as noted above will be planted by a separate contractor, the funds to plant
these trees will come from Mid America Energy Trees Please Grant money. Let me know if you have questions.

PRELIMINARY
MEMBERS PRESENT: Kent Ackerson, Esther Baker, Thomas Baldridge, William Downing, Andrew
Litton, David McMahon, Pam Michaud, Dana Thomann, Alicia Trimble
MEMBERS ABSENT: Ginalie Swaim, Frank Wagner
STAFF PRESENT: Bob Miklo, Chery Peterson
OTHERS PRESENT: Helen Burford, Steve Yagla, Teri Toye, Marlys Svendsen
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: (become effective only after separate Council action)
None.
CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Trimble called the meeting to order at 5:15 p.m.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANYTHING NOT ON THE AGENDA;
There was none.
CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS:
1122 E. College Street.
Peterson said this is a chimney removal proposal. She showed a photograph of the College Street house
and added that it is a contributing property in the district.
Peterson said that one really doesn't notice the chimney from the front of the house. She said that as one
comes around the corner of the house, there is a newer, metal chimney vent that would stay, but the
owners want to remove a cement - covered, masonry chimney. Peterson showed the view from the rear
and said staff recommends approval.
Michaud asked, assuming the chimney is removed, if it will be taken out all the way down to the
basement. Wagner said it would be removed all the way down to the roofline. Peterson said she believes
the owners want to take the chimney out of the attic and then stop at the floor of the attic.
MOTION: Ackerson moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the application for 1122
E. College Street, as presented in the application. Baldridge seconded the motion. The motion
carried on a vote of 9 -0 (Swaim and Wagner absent).
923 S. Seventh Avenue.
Peterson stated that this application involves a front entry area modification to a wing wall off of a porch.
She said this house is a contributing property in the Dearborn Street Conservation District. Peterson said
the proposal is to cut into the brick wing wall that comes off from the porch and add a gate and a path
through the front yard to the sidewalk.
Peterson showed a sketch of the project as one would look at the wing wall and pointed out what would
be cut away. She showed where the gate would then be installed, with the edges of the brick then
wrapped with metal that the gate would be attached to. Peterson showed a view of the wall from inside
the steps.
Peterson said that there are six of these houses that are all from the same builder and the same time
period. She said that it was common to have the entry from the driveway. Peterson showed the
similarities with the other houses. She said that staff hoped to find a way to achieve what the owner wants
to accomplish without cutting into the wall.
Historic Preservation Commission
August 11, 2011
Page 2
Yagla, the owner of the house, said that he has lived in the house since 1977. He stated that everyone
comes to the back door when they come to the house. Yagla said that with some landscaping and a nice
pathway, they could then replace the ground cover with a stone patio and then have the entrance through
the gate and up to the front porch.
Peterson asked Yagla about his plans to connect across the front. Yagla confirmed this. He said the
neighbors have a sidewalk, and he just wanted to create another path at the front of his house similar to
the neighbor's. Yagla said he wants to make it more attractive and more convenient to get back and forth.
Peterson showed a photograph of the porch and said that it is closed on two sides. She said she had
discussed with Yagla the area that is a potential paved patio area and that a sidewalk through the front
yard could lead to that paved area. Peterson said that without the gate through the wall, one could still
walk around and still have the entrance experience that is separate from the driveway. Yagla said that if
someone would come to the house, he is probably not going to walk up that path.
Michaud asked if it would be possible to add a direction sign at the front entry. She said it would be
invisible from the street, but by the time that people get up the driveway then it would be visible. Michaud
said it would be messy to cut that wall, and it's already caved. She said it should be stabilized, and she
thought it might look a little choppy if its original design is altered.
Peterson said cutting into it will definitely weaken it. She said the other concern she had is that it is only
27 inches, so that one would really have to bend over to get to the gate and the latch.
Michaud asked the owner if he had talked to any masonry people about cutting the wall. Yagla replied
that he had talked to Kalona Blacksmith and Welding, who has done masonry work, about the gate. Yagla
said the blacksmith suggested that he come to the Commission first to see what would be permissible.
Yagla said he has not had a mason at the site yet.
Michaud said there is quite a two -inch gap on the left hand. She said she did not know what it would take
to jack that level.
Ackerson said that it is a very attractive entry to the house, and he would not want to see it lost. Michaud
agreed. She said it might also seem more harmonious with the rest of the street to have an oversized
shrub removed. Michaud said they might consider new steps at the front of the porch.. She said this
would match the other houses, while still keeping the wing wall.
Yagla said that over two houses to the right/north, there is something similar to what is being talked
about. He also pointed out one house that has an enclosed porch. Michaud said that is what she was
thinking. She said that it doesn't have to wrap around if you have too many steps.
Peterson said there is variation along here. She stated they are all very much alike, but each one is a little
bit different. Peterson said that some have a side entrance, and some have a front entrance. She said it is
consistent that they don't have a sidewalk straight up to the house. Peterson said that could probably be
done very nicely with a curving path up to the house.
Miklo said the Commission appears to be headed in the direction of not changing the wing wall but
looking for another solution, such as putting in a sidewalk and maybe cutting the curb to direct people to
the side entrance or possibly exploring a center entrance, although that is not ideal. He asked the owner,
given his concern about people being led to the back door, if a cut in the curb of the driveway and the
curved path back to the street to direct people to that point would be an alternative that would work. Miklo
said that no changes would then need to be made to the existing porch or wall.
Yagla asked if there would then be any problem with still making a patio area. Miklo said there would not.
He said that if Yagla wanted to solve the issue with landscaping, a permit would not be required, and the
application could be withdrawn. Yagla added that he would also like to discuss the options with his wife.
Peterson said that Yagla could work this either way. She said that one could either come up the winding
path to the receiving area /patio and step down and around, or it could all be flush. Peterson said that if it
were all at the same height, it might seem more like a continuation of the entrance. She sketched her
ideas for Yagla. Michaud suggested Yagla look at a house on the corner of Bowery and Clark Streets,
Historic Preservation Commission
August 11, 2011
Page 3
where there is a situation similar to this. She added that she did not know about having a winding
diagonal across the lawn, because this is such a geometric type of house.
Peterson said that separating the pedestrian path from the driveway is definitely possible without cutting
into the wall. Trimble said she would also be far more comfortable not cutting into the wall. She stated
that if someone bought this house later and he didn't want that path there it could be removed, but the
wall cannot be replaced.
Miklo suggested the Commission defer this to its next meeting.
MOTION: Ackerson moved to defer consideration of a certificate of appropriateness for an
application for 923 S. Seventh Avenue. Baker seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote
of 9 -0 (Swaim and Wagner absent).
REPORT ON CERTIFICATES ISSUED BY STAFF AND CHAIR:
713 N. Lucas Street.
Peterson said that this was an application that she and the Chair reviewed. She said she did not have the
report available.
CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES FOR JULY 14, 2011:
MOTION: McMahon moved to approve the minutes of the Historic Preservation Commission's July 14,
2011 meeting, as written. Baker seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 9 -0 (Swaim and
Wagner absent).
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Section 106 Review and the Development of a Memorandum of Agreement for the Rehabilitation and
Hazard Mitigation Measures for the Sabin School and 109 River St.
Peterson said there were two notices that went out regarding adverse effect notification, but the
Commission is to discuss the undertakings resulting from the relocation of the Art Building, Hancher
Auditorium, Voxman Music Building, and Clapp Recital Hall. Female Teri Toye said that two meetings are
scheduled for August 23`d to discuss the Iowa Memorial Union.
The representatives from FEMA presented a synopsis of what they are expecting and undertaking and
what the possibilities would be for the relocation of the University buildings, the new sites, and the effects
on those new sites.
Teri Toye stated that FEMA has determined that the relocation of the Art Building would require the
demolition of a fraternity building at 109 River Street. She stated that the building has been determined to
be a contributing element to the West Side Fraternity Historic District. Toye said that it has been
determined that the District is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and that the demolition
of the fraternity house would adversely affect that historic district. She said the fraternity house is also
individually eligible so that two historic properties would be adversely affected with the undertaking to
relocate the art building.
Toye said that Hancher - Voxman -Clapp are being relocated to three different sites. She said that Hancher
would be relocated to The University of Iowa River Valley Historic District that was evaluated by Marlys
Svendsen. Toye said that it has been determined that the relocation of Hancher within that district that is
eligible for the National Register would not result in an adverse effect.
Toye stated that Voxman and Clapp are being relocated to two sites downtown. She said that the Iowa
City Community Schools District Office Building, which is the Henry Sabin School Building, would be
demolished as part of the process, and that demolition would be an adverse effect, as it has been
determined that that building is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
Historic Preservation Commission
August 11, 2011
Page 4
Toye said that the National Historic Preservation Act requires the execution of an agreement to avoid,
minimize or mitigate adverse effects on historic properties when FEMA funds are being used. She said
that in this case, because both projects involve the demolition of historic properties, adverse effects
cannot be avoided or minimized, so FEMA's intent is to mitigate the adverse effects.
Toye said that FEMA has determined that the fraternity and the Sabin School are Iowa City resources.
She stated that FEMA was present at the Commission's meeting to take into account the views of the
Commission on FEMA's efforts to resolve adverse effect.
Toye said that Marlys Svendsen would discuss the process for evaluating resources within the area of
potential effect.
Svendsen said that the new art building is intended to replace the 1936 Works Progress Administration
Building that was built for The University. She said the original building was designed by architect George
Horner. Svendsen said the building later had additions put on through the 1960s and 1980s, and those
additions were designed by New York architect Max Abramovitz.
Svendsen said the site that has been selected by the University is adjacent to the current art building
west, along the 100 block of River Street. She stated that it will be designed by Steven Holl, one of the
architects identified in The University of Iowa River Valley Historic District. Svendsen said that Holl is a
very contemporary architect.
Svendsen said the site selection now requires demolition of the former fraternity house at 109 River
Street. She showed some slides of the house, which is currently owned by the University and is used as
an art studio for graduate students. Svendsen said it is the only one in the neighborhood on the south
side of River Street, while the balance of the district is on the north side.
Svendsen said the Manville Heights Neighborhood Survey was completed in 2010. She said it is a
neighborhood that was platted in two separate subdivisions. Svendsen said an area was laid out that
eventually housed a great variety of architectural styles and form. She referred to a list showing the types
of architectural styles and the year the buildings were constructed.
Svendsen said the fraternity house is one of a number of revival style buildings and is the only building of
an Italian renaissance revival style. She said it was built in 1929 at the end of a significant period of
development of the West Side Fraternity Historic District. Svendsen said the fraternity house is visible
from the Manville Heights Historic District as well as the West Side Fraternity Historic District.
Svendsen discussed the relocation of Hancher Auditorium, Voxman Music Building and Clapp Recital
Hall. She agreed that there would be no direct adverse effect to historic resources with the relocation of
Hancher.
Svendsen discussed the relocation of the Voxman and clap and the new sites along Burlington Street.
She said that as part of the construction, the current property owners will be offered the option of
acquiring the former Sabin School site. Svendsen said the University is not necessarily intending to raze
the building but is making the site available, either with the building in place or with the choice to have the
building removed. She said that decision has not been made by the University.
The new building sites proposed for Clapp and Voxman are not far from the Sabin Elementary School.
Svendsen said the Sabin Building is an attractive building and is one of three designed by George
Lockhart, an architect from Saint Paul. She said it was built in 1917 -1918, and the other two schools
designed by Lockhart, Mann and Longfellow, still are in existence.
Svendsen said that the Sabin School was designed in a collegiate gothic style. She stated that it was
named for Henry Sabin, who was the Iowa State Superintendent of Schools and a prominent educator.
Svendsen said the building qualified for the National Register under criterion A for historic significance
and criterion C for architectural significance. She said that it is individually eligible and is the last of the
neighborhood schools in this neighborhood.
Svendsen said the Sabin School is really quite intact on the exterior, except for the wall that was
constructed across the front of the building that basically camouflages a series of HVAC and electrical

equipment. She said the rear of the building has been modified and given a fake gothic revival entrance.
Svendsen said, however, that this is still a substantial and important building and is quite intact. She
showed photographs of the building.
Ann Schmid discussed the next steps in the section 106 process. She said that after FEMA has identified
a project, evaluated the area of potential effects, and evaluated the resources within that area, FEMA
then goes through a process to develop a memorandum of agreement, a legal document outlining steps
that FEMA will ensure are implemented to offset the loss of historic properties resulting from the
undertaking.
Schmid said that throughout the process, FEMA takes into consideration the views and comments of
interested parties and the public prior to executing its document. She said the process consists of seven
steps, which were outlined in the documents distributed to the Commission. Schmid said that the primary
goal in the process is to have everyone involved in signing the memorandum of agreement familiar with
and comfortable with the document he is signing so that all the mitigation measures stipulated and all the
processes outlined are something to which everyone can agree.
Schmid said that once an agreement has been reached, the scope of work for the mitigation measures
identified is incorporated into the overall FEMA grant application. She said that in this case it involves
funding for new facilities for The University of Iowa. Schmid said that this legally ties what has been
identified in the memorandum of agreement (MOA) to the completion of the project. She stated that there
will be two separate MOAs — one for the relocation of the art building and one for the relocation of
Hancher - Voxman - Clapp.
For the relocation of the art building resulting in the demolition of 109 River Street, Schmid said that the
ideas presented to date include: a National Register nomination for the West Side Fraternity Historic
District, which has been determined eligible as part of the Manville Heights study but has not been listed;
salvage of architectural features from 109 River Street, including any original windows, interior and
exterior doors, hardware, fixtures, and any salvage of historic building materials such as the clay tile roof;
and other suggestions from consulting parties and the public.
For the relocation of Voxman and Clapp Recital Hall and the adverse effects resulting from the demolition
of Henry Sabin School, Schmid said the ideas presented include: the salvage of architectural features
from the school, including the exterior ornamental limestone elements, interior features such as doors,
windows, hardware; an expanded Iowa site inventory form; National Register nomination for the Horace
Mann Elementary School, which has been determined eligible; supporting historic district signage within
Iowa City; and other suggestions from the public.
Schmid distributed forms for suggestions for mitigation. She asked that ideas for each of the two
relocation projects be identified separately.
Baldridge stated that Phi Beta Pi was his father's medical fraternity, but it was not in that building at 109
River Street.
Svendsen said that one of the people who contacted her said he hoped the Commission would look to
some of the projects that had been included in the Historic Preservation Plan. She pointed out that a lot of
thinking has been done previously about ideas and progress, although she did not know if these ideas
had been prioritized.
Downing said that one of the biggest threats to the continued use of Longfellow and Horace Mann
Elementary Schools is lack of accessibility. He asked if there might be any support for their continued use
by supporting the construction of elevator systems in those two buildings.
Toye said this is a unique situation in that The University of Iowa is the applicant for FEMA funds, but the
resources being affected are Iowa City resources. She said that FEMA is inviting the Historic Preservation
Commission to be a concurring party, if it chooses, but it does not have to be.
Miklo said that because the Commission's next meeting is September 8th and the deadline is September
11th, there would be another opportunity to discuss this before submitting proposals.
Historic Preservation Commission
August 11, 2011

Michaud said she thinks that that before the meeting, she went to the fraternity house and talked to the
next door neighbor. Michaud said the neighbor was concerned, because he had heard that the University
was going to build a four -story building where the fraternity is now that would take up most of the lot. She
said there is a glorious heritage tree on the site, which is either burr or soft white oak; a gorgeous,
symmetrical tree.
Michaud asked if the arches present on the fraternity and art building could be incorporated into the new
art building.
Schmid said that architect Steven Holl is designing the new Art Building, and the plans are substantially
under way to ensure the completion of the project within the performance period of the FEMA grant and
to get the University up and running. She said at this point, she did not believe those features have been
included. Schmid said that it is a much more modern design. She said there has already been initiated a
process that she went through with the State Historic Preservation Office, including tentative design plans
and how they would work on that site in relation to the district surrounding it.
Schmid said that while those ideas are tangible and sort of commemorative, they don't necessarily
provide a benefit to historic preservation. She said it would be a new design all around. Schmid said that
the University may be beyond that point, but other sorts of documentation of those features when it is
time for that discussion might be in order.
Burford asked about the role of the salvage barn and preservation. She questioned the hierarchy of the
participants. Toye said the salvage barn could have an active role in the mitigation work.
Schmid discussed how the process worked in Cedar Rapids and its salvage operation.
Trimble asked if the Commission would like to form a subcommittee regarding this or if members would
like to think about this for the next month and discuss it at the next meeting. Miklo asked for volunteers for
a committee. Ackerson, Baldridge, Downing, and Michaud volunteered to be on the subcommittee.
The consensus of the Commission was to have the subcommittee meet and present something for the
Commission's consideration at its September 8th meeting.

YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION
Sunday, September 11, 2011- 4:30 PM
Lobby Conference Room, CITY HALL
DRAFT
Members Present: Jerry Gao, Alexandra Tamerius (4:35), Caroline Van Voorhis, Sam Fosse,
Chris Nepola
Members Absent: Leah Murray
Liaison Present: Ross Wilburn
Staff Present: Marian Karr
Others Present: None
CALL TO ORDER:
The meeting was called to order at 4:30 PM by Chair Gao.
INTRODUCTIONS:
Members introduced themselves to new member Chris Nepola. City Clerk Karr stated that Van
Voorhis, Tamerius and Wilburn would be leaving at 5PM to attend the Youth Salute Awards,
and suggested a discussion of FY13 budget and annual report be done prior to their departure.
MINUTES:
Van Voorhis noted under "Annual Report for Youth Advisory Commission, page 2, the end of
the first sentence had a duplicate phase "for the next" that should be removed. Karr said that
the starting time of the September 11 meeting under "Meeting Schedule" should read 4:30 PM.
Moved by Van Voorhis seconded by Tamerius, to approve the minutes as amended. The
motion passed unanimously, 5/0, Murray absent.
UPDATE ON VACANCIES:
The Commission currently has the Tate vacancy.
BUDGET UPDATE:
City Clerk Karr stated the FY12 budget was in the packet but she had been informed that the
FY13 budget was due by September 27. She asked if the Commission was prepared to discuss
this evening to whether a special meeting would be needed. Chair Gao stated he felt a decision
could be made at this meeting. After discussion a majority felt the same amount of $3250
should be requested. Tamerius suggested changing the line item from "forums" to
"miscellaneous" to allow greater flexibility in planning events. Council Liaison Wilburn
suggested that it be firmed up, noting that "miscellaneous" be too broad and open- ended.
Majority agreed to "Community Outreach (events)" for the new line item. The Commission
agreed to discuss individual categories, appointments, and application /process at the need
meeting.

CITY COUNCIL UPDATE:
Council Liaison Wilburn reported this was an election year and City Council would have at least
three new Members, including himself. In the past government classes at the high schools have

months, and is scheduled for strategic planning sessions in November and December.
