October 27, 2011
December 12, 2011
A preliminary plat and OPD plan for Mackinaw Village, a 115 -lot, 75.25 -acre subdivision, was
originally approved in 2004. The plan allowed for cluster development in order to preserve
environmentally sensitive features including the Iowa River corridor, floodplain, wetlands,
regulated slopes, and woodlands. To date Parts 1 -3, located to the east and north of the
subject property, have been final platted. Because preliminary plats are effective for a period
of 24 months the original plat for part 4 has expired.
The original plat for this area indicated 17 single - family lots located along the Sugar Loaf Circle
cul -de -sac. The present plat, which mirrors the original subdivision layout, provides 16 lots (one
lot has been eliminated to create wider lots around the bulb of the cul -de -sac).
The applicant has indicated that they intend to use the Good Neighbor Policy.
2
ANALYSIS:
Compliance with Comprehensive Plan
The North District Plan promotes the use of cluster development in order to preserve
environmentally sensitive features. The original OPD plan for Mackinaw Village included a mix
of lot sizes and medium density development clustered at the south end of the development
near Foster Road.
As with the original, the current preliminary plat for Part 4 includes some lots that do not meet
the minimum width or lot area requirements of the RS -5 zone. These variations were
approved as part of the Sensitive Area Development Plan for the original plat with the
condition that homes built on narrow lots demonstrate compliance with the section 14 -6K -1
N.3.k. of the old zoning code with regard to placement of garages (see attached). Homes
already established along Mackinaw Drive (Part two of Mackinaw Village) comply with this
requirement. In the current plat for Part 4, lots 97 -99 fall short of the 60 -foot minimum lot
width standard of the RS -5 zone. To comply with the OPD plan, the proposed plat requires the
same standards for garage location.
Access and Street Design
Sugar Loaf Circle is accessed from Foster Road via Mackinaw Drive. An 85 -foot long stub for
Sugar Load Circle is already established at the intersection with Mackinaw Drive. In
conformance with the previous subdivision regulations, the stub is established with a 50 -foot
right -of -way with 4 foot sidewalks on both sides of the street. Under the current subdivision
regulations, a cul -de -sac of this size (serving more than 10 lots) requires a 60 -foot right -of -way
with 5 -foot sidewalks. Given the existing stub, staff believes it is appropriate for the remainder
of the street to be continued with the established 50 -foot right -of -way and 4 -foot sidewalks.
The original plan showed a sidewalk connection to Foster Road located along a sanitary sewer
easement that ran diagonally from the cul -de -sac to the southwest corner of the property.
Because the sanitary sewer connection is now provided between lots 96 and 97, an easement
to Foster Road is not included on the plat. Staff recommended that a sidewalk connection
between the cul -de -sac and Foster Road be included. The logical location for the connection as
shown on the plat is between lots 89 and 90. This passes through any area that was designated
as a construction limit area in the original plan. Staff believes that grading to accommodate a
10 -foot access easement in this area is appropriate.
Sensitive areas: Grading and tree removal plans were required as part of the original
subdivision. Most grading was completed on the site under the previous preliminary plat. The
present plat shows construction area limits and tree removal in compliance with plans
approved with the original plat.
Storm water management: The City engineer is reviewing the plat. At least one issue has been
identified with regard to storm water drainage that may require the relocation of a drainage
easement. We believe there will be opportunity to address and anticipate a corrected plat
before the commission meeting on Thursday.
Infrastructure fees: Water main extension fees of $395 per acre. There are no sanitary sewer
fees for this area.
Neighborhood parkland or fees in lieu of: Per the zoning code, the neighborhood open space
requirement for all of Mackinaw Village is 1.77 acres. This requirement was fulfilled during the
final plat of Part 2 with the dedication of Outlot C, a 1.8 acre parcel of open space in the
northwest area of the subdivision.

DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
The City Engineer is still reviewing the plat. At least one issue with regard to storm water drainage
has been identified. Staff believes there will be opportunity to address this issue and that the
applicant will be able to submit a revised plat in time for the Thursday meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends deferral pending the City Engineer's review of the plat and grading and erosion
control plans. Upon resolution of any issues identified by the City Engineer, staff recommends
approval of SUB11- 00015, the preliminary plat of Mackinaw Village Part 4, a 3.84 acre 16 -lot
residential subdivision located along Sugar Loaf Circle, north of Foster Road and west of
Mackinaw Drive.

k. Additional Considerations: Due to
the concentration of dwelling units and
the juxtaposition of different land uses
that can be achieved by incorporating
the above provisions into the design
of a sensitive areas development plan,
adherence to the following design
considerations is encouraged to as-
sure that the resulting development is
1 IMM"I'MI
SIDE DRIVE (ATTACHED)
SIDE DRIVE (DETACHED)
(2) Where reduced front yards
are proposed, the use of porches
is encouraged to provide a tran-
sition between the street and the
dwelling unit.
(3) Where a variety of housing
types, such as single - family,
duplex and multi - family build-
ings, are mixed within a develop-
ment, similar architectural
schemes, scale, massing and
materials should be used to help
assure that the various building
types are compatible. The use of
traditional Iowa City architectural
styles, such as prairie, crafts-
man, vernacular farm house and
Victorian designs, is encour-
14 -6K -1
attractive and provides for a transition
between public streets and private
residences:
(1) Where narrower lots are
proposed, garages should be
located so that they do not domi-
nate the streetscape, as illustrat-
ed below:

4. Commercial, Research Develop-
ment, Office Research And Industrial
Development Guidelines: These de-
velopment guidelines recognize that
when environmentally sensitive fea-
tures exist on a commercial, research
development, office research or indus-
trial property, it may be appropriate to
minimize development in and near the
sensitive area(s). To mitigate for the
loss of development potential, these
guidelines allow for an increase in
building height and a reduction in yard
and parking requirements, as follows:
a. The height of a building may be
increased up to ten feet (10').

Subject: RE: Objection to Prime Ventures
Stephanie:
Bob Miklo asked me to respond to your e -mail regarding Mackinaw Village Part 4. Please know that your letter will be
provided to the Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting tonight.
Given your concern, I do think it is appropriate to provide you with some background information. First, the application
that is now before P &Z is not a rezoning - -the property is already zoned for residential uses and has been since 2004.
Also, the application is not something altogether new: it is basically a renewal of a preliminary plat that was originally
approved in 2004 as part of the overall plan for the development of Mackinaw Village. That is, the plan to develop this
property in the manner proposed was part of the same plan for development along Mackinaw Drive where your home is
located.
While I do understand your concerns with regard to the changing view from your backyard, given the present zoning,
the City cannot deny the applicant the right to develop this property. So long as the preliminary plat meets the City's
current subdivision regulations and the Comprehensive Plan, the commission would likely have insufficient reason to
deny the application.
Feel free to contact me or Bob Miklo if you have additional questions about the process.

Subject: Objection to Prime Ventures
To Whom it May Concern,
I recently purchased the house at 1753 Mackinaw Dr and I STRONGLY object to Prime Ventures building Mackinaw
Village Part 4 in my backyard. One of the main reasons my family and I were so drawn to our house was the view from
the backyard. It is a wonderful nature area and we aren't ready to give that up for more houses. I am concerned about
destroying the habitat behind my property. My young daughter enjoys seeing all of the deer and animals back there and
I think it would be a shame to destroy that area. We enjoy the peace and quiet in this neighborhood. I don't want to
come home from a stressful day of work at UIHC to a noisy area being developed. I don't want to tell my daughter she
can't go play in her backyard because there is construction going on!
As I was house hunting, I couldn't help but notice that Prime Ventures already owns numerous properties throughout
Johnson Co. In my opinion, they should leave the Mackinaw area alone and finish their building elsewhere.
Please please do not let Prime Ventures develop more houses in my backyard!!!!
Sincerely,
Stephanie (Steuben) Power

Jamie,
Bob Miklo asked me to respond to your e -mail regarding Mackinaw Village Part 4. Your letter will be passed along to the
Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting tonight.
With regard to the application that is before P &Z, please note that this is not a rezoning (the property is already zoned
for residential uses). The present application is a renewal of a preliminary plat that was originally approved in 2004,
when the entire Mackinaw Village concept (Parts 1 -4) were considered. So long as the preliminary plat meets the City's
subdivision regulations and the Comprehensive Plan, the commission would likely have insufficient reason to deny the
application. The City cannot dictate the market issue with regard to lots already available for sale in the area.
Your concerns about access in the event of a flood are certainly legitimate and I know that the City engineer is working
to address these issues. The City has not up -zoned areas along Foster Road for this reason.
I have passed your comments regarding stormwater drainage to our engineering department for a second look. They
will consider whether this is an issue that has to do with the engineering of the subdivision and we will report their
assessment to P &Z. I am also passing along your concerns with regard to on- street parking to our transporation
planners. I will ask them to respond to you with any potential solutions.

November 17, 2011
Dear Planning and Zoning Commission,
I regret that I cannot attend tonight's meeting in person. In lieu of appearing before you I am writing to voice some
concerns I have regarding SUB11- 00015.
My family and I have lived on Mackinaw Drive since February 2007. At that time we were the only people living on the
street. Since then I have been pleased to see our development fill out with great neighbors and I am by no means
opposed to having more. Here are the things I would like the commission to address (or at least be mindful of with
respect) to this application:
1. As you know, this entire area was evacuated during the flood of
2008 due to lack of access on Foster Road. I understand there are discussions as to how to mitigate this in the future
involving our downhill neighbors in Idylwild and Taft Speedway. I have no opinion as to how this is mitigated and trust
the city and its engineers to do what is best for everyone but until there is a plan to deal with this in the future I
question the prudence of zoning more development in our area. The number of people in our area has more than
tripled since 2008 (on previously -zoned land). I know our neighbors in the Peninsula Neighborhood and Elk Run have
seen a great deal of growth in the last couple years as well. If a flood of 2008 magnitude were to happen again — and I
strongly believe it would be foolish to simply assume it will not — many more people would have to be evacuated on top
of the hill. This needs to be fixed before we encourage more development.
2. Storm water management is an issue in that area of our neighborhood and I feel as though the report glosses over
this. I know of at least one neighbor on the west side of Mackinaw Drive who has had water issues in their basement
due to torrential rain. I can also attest that several inches of rain will stand in the graded area for this plat after a large
rainfall. For several years I had an unobstructed view of the area and could see it from my house.
3. While our area has seen substantial growth the last couple years, there are still a large number of undeveloped SFH
lots in our addition, in particular on Manitou Trail. I would like to see this fill out more before new lots are zoned that
would likely compete with the already -zoned lots in our addition.
4. This is a minor concern, but the off - street parking situation in
our neighborhood has gotten out of hand. It is already an accident
waiting to happen with cars parked on both sides of the road most of the time. Failing some management of this
(picking a side for no parking, etc) the increased traffic will only increase the certainty of said accident. I understand this
probably falls out of the purvey of P &Z but this is another thing that needs to be addressed before we encourage more
development in the area.
Again, I am not opposed to the addition of homes to our neighborhood but I would like to see these things addressed
before the commission moves forward with zoning for more development. Thank you for your time.
Best Regards,
Jamie Tisdale

CITY OF IOWA CITY
MEMORANDUM
Date: November 14, 2011
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Wendy Ford, Economic Development Coordinator"
Re: Formalization of economic development process and policies
Introduction:
At their meeting on October 18, 2011, the City Council Economic Development Committee
(EDC) discussed the following memo entitled Formalization of Economic Development Process
and Policies and voted 2 -0 to recommend adoption by the full City Council. The memo outlines
a process for standard operating procedures for requests for economic development financial
assistance, and provides a framework for considering requests for financial incentives.
History:
Since the EDC meeting on October 18, 2011, staff has been advised to add one additional
strategy by the City Attorney's Office. The City's Bond Counsel recommends for TIF incentives
provided at the beginning of a project, developers be required to secure any up front TIF
incentives with an Urban Renewal Revenue Note. An Urban Renewal Revenue Note is a form
of debt security issued by a lender on the premise that future revenues (the tax increment, in
this case) will be sufficient to meet repayment obligations. This type of security can be used in
providing public financial assistance where immediate investment capital is required to begin a
large project.
Discussion of Solution:
We've added a fifth point under the heading TIF goals, objects, and strategies on page 3 of the
memo to address the Urban Renewal Revenue Note provision. If after discussions with area
lenders who would buy Urban Renewal Revenue notes the developer is unable to secure a
buyer, the developer may substantiate their reasoning in writing, and the project consideration
will continue, albeit with higher risk to the City.
Recommendation:
After discussion of the proposal, staff recommends the City Council adopt the economic
development process and policies subject to any revisions desired by a majority of the City
Council. We will be available to answer questions at the November 22 City Council meeting.

City of Iowa City
Economic Development Process and Policies
Adopted by City Council December 6, 2011
_P_ = - 644
CITY OF IOWA CITY
The economic downturn which began in 2007 has created an atmosphere where the City is now
called upon to assist with the funding of economic development projects on a regular basis.
Developers are not able to go to financial institutions to the degree that they once could and
obtain the financing they need for projects. We are now commonly asked to share in the risk of
an economic development project as one of the funding entities.
Because these requests have become routine, we wish to commence a discussion that will
bring greater structure and objectivity to the standard operating procedures for evaluating
economic development financial incentives. Establishing standard procedures and a framework
for incentives will allow developers to more clearly understand the City's intentions in providing
such incentives, and ensure that the City's financial resources are used as efficiently and
effectively as possible.
We believe that our economic development financial incentives policy should be tied directly to
community objectives. These include such measures as:
• Increasing taxable valuation of property, especially commercial and industrial
• Increasing the number of jobs which have wages and fringe benefits exceeding the
County median
• Redevelopment of blighted property
• Desirable projects which might not otherwise occur without financial incentives, such as
downtown hotels, workforce housing, downtown grocery stores, arts and entertainment
venues, etc.
Economic Development Process
Following is suggested standard operating procedure for requests for economic development
financial assistance.
Step 1 - Intake. This is the information gathering stage of a project which will provide the
foundation for subsequent decision making. Project information may be proprietary and need to
be kept confidential. Project information will typically be incomplete in early stages, but it is
necessary to collect as much information as possible in order to begin the evaluation of the
project. We have developed the attached information intake form. Additional Planning
Department staff will be trained so that several persons will be able to conduct initial intake
meetings with development prospects.
Step 2 - Evaluation. The purpose of the evaluation stage is to weigh the public costs and
benefits of the project. To date, this step has been largely qualitative and subjective. We attempt
to evaluate the public purpose involved, the strength of the opportunity, and the public costs
involved. This information is then taken to the City Council Economic Development Committee
for discussion.
We are aware of communities that use highly quantitative fiscal economic impact models. Many
of these are complicated and data - intensive. We are evaluating a software license for a product
called WebLOCI. It is data - intensive, but we believe may be suitable for our purposes. The next
Page 2
step in our evaluation of this process is to load data into the model and then test it on some
prospective projects.
The evaluation stage involves an in -depth financial analysis of the project. We are currently
utilizing the services of the National Development Council to aid in this aspect of review. This
provides us with a level of expertise not otherwise available from City staff.
The evaluation process does not ignore political factors which will influence the economic
analysis. For example, how does the proposed project fare in a sustainability evaluation? Will
the proposal enhance or harm the image of the City? These factors will be fully vetted by staff
before being presented to the City Council Economic Development Committee.
Step 3 - Due Diligence. Once we have determined that the project may merit public assistance,
we proceed to due diligence. Due diligence is the process of verifying information provided in
the intake phase. It involves verifying corporate names, character of the applicant, financial
ability, financial history, market analysis, and other factors. In the due diligence phase we
typically like to examine three past years of business performance and three future years (pro
forma) based on the business plan for the project. The due diligence phase will require the
assistance of the City's legal and financial staffs. This step may need to be accelerated for a
project which requires a letter of commitment with a quick turn - around.
Step 4 - Performance Measures. Performance measures will vary depending on the type of
project. Examples of performance measures in past projects include minimum assessment
agreements, or Plaza Towers' requirement to include a hotel, grocery store, and office space in
the project. Industrial projects have been required to retain or add a specific number of jobs as
well as create an increase in the property tax base. This step is a regular part of the monitoring
process conducted by the Economic Development Division prior to certification of debt for tax
increment revenues.
Framework for incentive qualification
Tax Increment Financing or property tax exemptions are the two principal methods of
financial assistance we have used in Iowa City. There are other smaller programs such as the
CDBG economic development fund, but we anticipate TIF and property tax exemption to
continue to be our principal sources of financial incentives. Until now, we have generally
considered each project on a case -by -case basis on its own merits. We have had
misunderstandings related to the expectation that a property within a TIF district is eligible for
TIF funds as a matter of right. A more specific framework for qualifying for City - provided
financial incentives should be provided.
Once it has been determined that a project meets the public purpose requirements we have
established, the level of and necessity for financial assistance should be based on a gap
analysis. A gap analysis assures that the City's financial assistance are the last dollars in and
that "but for" the City's assistance the project would not have happened. If this analysis results
in a project which can proceed without public assistance, then it should proceed without
public assistance.
Page 3
TIF goals, objectives and strategies
Under state law, TIF assistance can be used for two principal matters: economic development
and remediation of slum and blight. We have developed the following additional criteria for
evaluating TIF assistance:
TIF generator.
Creation of a TIF generator of at least $2 million should be a goal, but not a requirement, for
the establishment of a TIF district.
2. Percentage limitation.
It should be a goal, but not a requirement for TIF funding to not exceed more than 50%
of the TIF increment created. Further, TIF funds made available to a private developer
shall not exceed the rp oiect value created. For City TIF projects, funds may be
generated from an entire TIF district.
3. Developer equity.
Developer equity should be required to at least equal or exceed the amount of TIF funds
made available for a project. To clarify, bank commitment of debt can be counted
towards developer equity.
4. Eligibility.
The following types of projects, which meet taxable value and high quality jobs goals of the
City and are located in an Urban Renewal Area, will be considered for TIF assistance:
a) Industrial uses
b) Office space
c) Retail space
d) Specific desired uses, such as hotels, grocery stores, arts and entertainment venues, etc.
e) Historic revitalization for adaptive reuse
f) Housing which supports stated economic development goals
5. Additional security for upfront financial incentives.
It shall be the City's policy to use a rebate approach for TIF assistance, where all
property taxes are paid and money distributed to protected levies, and the remainder
available for project rebates. Upfront financial assistance and the appropriate financing
mechanism and security will be considered on a case -by- case basis.
Process for creating a TIF project
The following process will be followed for crafting a TIF project:
a) Creation of Urban Renewal District
b) Application process for TIF funds
c) Gap analysis
d) Staff recommendation
e) Legislative process through the EDC, Planning and Zoning Commission, and City
Council

Economic Development Policies
Approved by the City Council Economic Development Committee, April 19, 2011
It shall be the policy of Iowa City to maintain an economic development plan. The purpose of the
plan is to attract new development including commercial, industrial, and residential uses.
Further, the purpose of the plan is to retain the city's existing business operations and to
encourage them to expand and foster spin -off business operations. The city's plan also supports
organizations which help to incubate, grow, foster, and create new business operations by
providing non - traditional collaborative environments.
The expected results of the economic development plan are: increased economic activity, more
jobs, lower unemployment, higher wages, greater property values, more tax revenues, more
ownership and entrepreneurial opportunities, and revitalization of underutilized or blighted
areas.
The city will consider incentive programs including city, state, and federal economic
development funds, tax increment financing, public private partnerships, and other tools in order
to achieve the expected results.
Various evaluative tools including financial pro formas, written evaluation reports, established
benefit metrics, and other performance tools shall be used to monitor the use of economic
incentives from the early stages of project development thru the issuance of an incentive and
post incentive to make sure the objectives are met.
Developers who receive incentives will be expected to enter into development agreements
which delineate the terms, conditions, understandings, and the expected results of receiving an
incentive.
It will be the policy of the City of Iowa City to endeavor to attract, recruit, retain, foster, and
develop new development through the use of incentives which is new to our region
(Metropolitan statistical area [MSA]). The city will not actively recruit business from other
jurisdictions within our MSA. Should business from jurisdictions within our MSA wish to relocate
to the City of Iowa City, we will notify our neighboring jurisdiction of the interest. It will be the
general practice of the City of Iowa City to not provide economic incentives to business wishing
to relocate from another jurisdiction within our MSA.
When incentive programs are utilized they will be used to maximize the benefits to the City of
Iowa City. The dollar amount of the incentive and time duration of the incentive shall be smallest
amount necessary to achieve the maximum amount of city benefit as determined by the City of
Iowa City City Council.
Despite the need for the program to be flexible and nimble in order to respond to the ever
changing economic conditions of the marketplace, it will be the policy of the city to insure that
the process of using incentives is an open and transparent public process which instills
confidence in the public's understanding of how economic development incentives are utilized.

MEMORANDUM
To: City Manager, Tom Markus
From: Wendy Ford, Economic Development Coordinator
Date: November 17, 2011
Re: 2011 Great Places Grant Award Agreement
Introduction:
In February 2010, Iowa City, Coralville and North Liberty became one of the Iowa Department of
Cultural Affairs' designated Great Places. Iowa City had become part of the Creative Cities
Network when it was named a City of Literature in November 2008 by the United Nations
Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
History:
In June of 2010 as plans for renovating the Northside Marketplace streetscape were underway,
the opportunity to apply for a Great Places grant presented itself. The scope of the streetscape
design did not call for any public art and Great Places grant funding was available for such
expenditures so long as they supported and enhanced the Great Place designation. We were
awarded $70,000 for the design and creation of the cast bronze "ribbons" with quotes for the
light posts, cast bronze tree grates with artwork and literary quotes, pedestals featuring book
stacks recognizing local authors and passages from noteworthy authors having lived in Iowa
City and cast aluminum sign toppers to add to the Northside Marketplace brand identity.
Another round of grant funding was announced in late summer of 2011 and we applied for a
$13,000 grant project for an interpretive sign /kiosk that will aid in pedestrian circulation and way -
finding between the Downtown and the Northside Marketplace and give some history about the
Literary Walk and our designations as a City of Literature and an Iowa Great Place. The grant
also requires a $2,900 local match which can be tapped from the Northside Marketplace capital
improvements fund which has a fund balance remaining due to low construction bids. An exact
location has not yet been determined but preference would lie in the area around the Irving
Weber statue because it is midway between the two Literary Walk installations and would also
serve as a directional sign that would better link the Northside Marketplace to Downtown.
Discussion of Solution:
We learned that our grant request was funded in a letter from the Iowa Department of Cultural
Affairs dated October 26, 2011. The letter requests that a resolution authorizing execution of the
grant agreement be included with an executed copy of the agreement along with several
additional pieces of supporting material (also attached).
Recommendation:
Staff recommends supporting this resolution so that a grant agreement may be signed and a
project for a Literary Walk interpretative sign /kiosk may commence.

Hi Sarah,
I sent an email on 11/15 and have left two voicemails requesting an extension of the 30 day deadline for signing the
grant agreement for our next great places grant project.
We need to have the council resolution approving the signing of the grant agreement before it is signed by our city
manager. I am not able to get it on a council agenda until Dec, 6 which is past the 30 day deadline. We request an
extension be granted for this reason.
Thanks so much,

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 22, 2011
TO: Tom Markus, City Manager
FROM: Ron Knoche, City Engineer,
RE: East Side Levee Project Consultant Agreement
Introduction: The City has received grant funding through the CDBG program for the
design and construction of a levee system and related storm sewer improvements to
protect critical public infrastructure and businesses in the South Gilbert Street Corridor
that flooded in 2008.
History /Background: During the flood of 2008, much of the South Gilbert Street
Corridor experienced significant flooding. South Gilbert Street and numerous businesses
located in the Stevens drive area were inundated for a period of 20 days. In 2009 the
City submitted an application for CDBG Disaster Recovery Funding to IDED to construct
a levee to protect South Gilbert Street and the abutting commercial areas from future
flooding. In 2010, IDED awarded a Community Development Block Grant to the City for
an amount not to exceed $3,900,000 for the design and construction of the East Side
Levee.
Discussion of Solution: The East Side Levee will extend along the eastern side of the
Iowa River from US Highway 6 south to the CRANDIC Railroad Bridge protecting the
businesses located in the South Gilbert Street Corridor and allow the City to maintain
access to critical city -owned facilities during large flood events. This project will also
include related storm sewer improvements for the area including backflow prevention
and stormwater pumping. These improvements will alleviate the burden placed on the
existing sewers when local heavy rains occur during flood events. In September 2011,
the City published a Request for Proposals to prepare preliminary and final design
drawings and specifications and provide bidding and construction phase services for the
East Side Levee Project. The City interviewed three of the five total applicants and
chose MMS Consultants, Inc. based on their proximity to and extensive knowledge of
the project area.
Recommendation: Staff recommends the approval of the consultant agreement with
MMS Consultants, Inc. at the December 61h City Council meeting. The fee for the
negotiated scope of services is $366,750 and will be funded by IDED through the CDBG
program.

Applicability
The Project or Program to which the construction work covered by this contract pertains is being assisted by
the United States of America and the following Federal Labor Standards Provisions are included in this
Contract pursuant to the provisions applicable to such Federal assistance.
A. 1. (i) Minimum Wages. All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work will be
paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate
on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary
of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits
(or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained
in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof,
regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and
such laborers and mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe
benefits under Section I(b)(2) of the Davis -Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered
wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv); also, regular
contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly)
moz
under plans, funds, or programs, which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be
constructively made or incurred during such weekly period.
Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage
determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as
provided in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification
may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein:
Provided that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in
which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage
rates conformed under 29 CFR 5.5 (a)(1)(ii) and the Davis -Bacon poster (WH -1321) shall be posted at all
times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible,
place where it can be easily seen by the workers.
(ii) (a) Any class of laborers or mechanics which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to
be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination.
HUD shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only
when the following criteria have been met:
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a
classification in the wage determination; and
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable
relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(b) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known),
or their representatives, and HUD or its designee agree on the classification and wage rate
(including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action
taken shall be sent by HUD or its designee to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division,
Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, D.C. 20210. The
Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every
additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise HUD or its designee or will
notify HUD or its designee within the 30 -day period that additional time is necessary. (Approved by
the Office of Management and Budget under OMB control number 1215,0140.)
(c) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or
their representatives, and HUD or its designee do not agree on the proposed classification and
wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), HUD or its
designee shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the
recommendation of HUD or its designee, to the Administrator for determination. The
Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt
and so advise HUD or its designee or will notify HUD or its designee within the 30 -day period that
additional time is necessary. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB
Control Number 1215-0140.)
(d) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to
subparagraphs (1)(ii)(b) or (c) of this paragraph, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the
classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics
includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the
-7-
benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly
cash equivalent thereof.
(iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may
consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably
anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary
of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the
Davis -Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a
separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program. (Approved by the
Office of Management and Budget under OMB Control Number 1215 - 0140.)
2. Withholding. HUD or its designee shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized
representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under this
contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other Federally- assisted
contract subject to Davis -Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor
so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and
mechanics, including apprentices, trainees and helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor
the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic,
including any apprentice, trainee or helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the
wages required by the contract, HUD or its designee may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor,
applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment,
advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased. HUD or its designee may, after written
notice to the contractor, disburse such amounts withheld for and on account of the contractor or
subcontractor to the respective employees to whom they are due. The Comptroller General shall make such
disbursements in the case of direct Davis -Bacon Act contracts.
3. (i) Payrolls and basic records. Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the
contractor during the course of the work preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all
laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work. Such records shall contain the name, address,
and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages
paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash
equivalents thereof of the types described in Section I(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -bacon Act), daily and weekly
number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor
has found under 29 CFR 5.5 (a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of
any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in Section
I(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the
commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible,
and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected,
and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits.
Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written
evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the
registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable
programs. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB Control Numbers 1215-

(ii) (a) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a
copy of all payrolls to HUD or its designee if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency
is not such a party, the contractor will submit the payrolls to the applicant sponsor, or owner, as
the case may be, for transmission to HUD or its designee. The payrolls submitted shall set out
accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR
5.5(a)(3)(i). This information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH -347 is
available for this purpose and may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents (Federal
Stock Number 029 - 005 - 00014 -1), U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. The
prime con - tractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors.
(Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB Control Number 1215 - 0149.)
(b) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by the
contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons
employed under the contract and shall certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be maintained
under 29 CFR 5.5 (a)(3)(i) and that such information is correct and complete;
(2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed
on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned,
without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made
either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions
as set forth in 29 CFR Part 3;
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and
fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in
the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract.
(c) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of
Optional Form WH -347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of
Compliance' required by subparagraph A.3.(ii)(b).
(d) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor
to civil or criminal prosecution under Section 1001 of Title 18 and Section 231 of Title 31 of the
United States Code.
(iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under subparagraph A.3.(i)
available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of HUD or its designee
or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during
working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to
make them available, HUD or its designee may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor,
applicant or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further
payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon
request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR
5.12.
4. (i) Apprentices and Trainees. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined
rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a
bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and
Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State
Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of
probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually
registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training,
Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for
probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the
job site in any craft classification'shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to
the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice
wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the
applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In
addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the
registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for
the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality
other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages
of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program
shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered
program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly
rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in
accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not
specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage
determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice
prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that
determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a
State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship
program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable
predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually
registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on
the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and
Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved
program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate
specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance
with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits,
trainees. shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the
Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program
associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides
for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate
who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training
Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the
work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio
permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the
wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training
Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to
utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an
acceptable program is approved.
(iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen under 29
CFR Part 5 shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive

Date: November 30, 2011
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Marcia Bollinger, Public Art Program Coordinator
Re: Donation of 3 BookMarks Sculptures to the City of Iowa City
Introduction: On December 6, the Iowa City City Council will be asked to accept the donation of three
BookMark statues purchased by private individuals or entities. These BookMarks will be placed on display in
downtown Iowa City and become part of the Iowa City Public Art inventory.
History/Background: In June 2011, 25 unique BookMark statues were unveiled kicking off 6 months of
celebrating reading, writing, and book art in Johnson County. Four additional statues debuted in July. All of
these books were sponsored by various individuals and entities. (The City of Iowa City sponsored Mobv Dick
that was on display in front of City Hall over the summer.) These gigantic statues were created by artists from
throughout the Midwest and were on display through the end of October in Coralville, Iowa City, North Liberty,
and at the Eastern Iowa Regional Airport. On November 10, an auction was held to conclude the project with
all proceeds going to benefit the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature and the public libraries of Iowa City,
Coralville and North Liberty.
Discussion of Solutions: The three BookMark statues that have been purchased at the auction and offered to
the City of Iowa City and their proposed locations are:

�MEMORANDU M
Dat e: November 30, 2011
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Adam Bentley, Administrative Assistant to the City Managerx__ L�
Re: Lobbyist Evaluation Final Report- Recommendation
Introduction:
From time to time, the City of Iowa City depends on lobbying to assist the City in defining an issue and
lobbying our state legislature, governor's office, and the administrative departments of the State. To date,
lobbying efforts have been through our elected officials, administrative staff, and our affiliate
organizations (i.e. The Metro Coalition and the Iowa League of Cities; both of which retain the services
of lobbyists).
Background:
In August 2011, the City Manager proposed the hiring of a City lobbyist to facilitate communication
between the City of Iowa City and facets of state government. Receiving a positive confirmation from
Council to pursue a City lobbyist, staff developed a Request for Proposal (RFP) that was sent to various
firms and contacts (including a press release) on October 3, 2011.
On November 7, 2011, seven RFPs were submitted to the City's purchasing agent for review of the
evaluation committee. The evaluation committee, consisting of four staff personnel and two council
members, met on November 22, 2011 to review the evaluations and decide which candidates moved
forward for interviews. Based on a 100 point scoring system, three candidates were chosen to proceed for
interviews.
Interviews were held on November 29, 2011. Evaluation committee members present for interviews re-
evaluated the three candidates based on the interview process and forwarded two candidates for the City
Manager's consideration. The evaluation committee members included:
1. Regenia Baily- Council Member
2. Susan Mims- Council Member
3. Dale Helling- Assistant City Manager
4. Eleanor Dilkes- City Attorney
5. Marian Karr -City Clerk
6. Jeff Davidson - Director of Planning and Community Development
7. Adam Bentley- Administrative Assistant to the City Manager (Staff Support)
Discussion of Solutions:
Seven RFPs were submitted to the evaluation committee for review and scoring. The scoring was based
on the following categories and weighted point totals:
1. Firm's resume, experience, qualifications, personnel (30pts);
2. References, proven success of plans designed for other clients (25pts);
3. Firms work plan and work schedule (25pts); and
4. Pricing (20pts).
November 30, 2011
Page 2
Each evaluation committee member was asked to score each candidate's RFP and return the evaluations
to the purchasing agent for averaging. In order to be considered for the award, candidates had to achieve
an 80 point minimum threshold. Two phases of grading were used to achieve the final scores. The first
phase was the initial grading to select finalists. The final phase of grading occurred after the interviews
and utilized the phase one grade as a base for modification.
The candidates meeting the 80 point threshold are provided below:
1. Fultz McHenry Consulting: 88
2. Davis Brown Law Firm: 87.75
It was expected that the candidates applying would also be able to achieve a maximum price point per
year in compensation. The compensation amount was not to exceed $30,000 per year. Below are the
price points provided by the qualifying candidates:
1. Fultz McHenry Consulting: $30,000 annually
2. Davis Brown Law Firm: $25,200 annually.
The evaluation committee concluded that both candidates would perform to the expectations of the City
of Iowa City. It was also noted that both candidates offer a unique methodology of service to the City.
Fultz McHenry Consulting, a single person operation, offers a unique and modern business model. The
Davis Brown Law Firm, a multi- faceted operation, offers a traditional model with experience in local
government issues.
When determining how successful a candidate may be with the City, certain issues were discussed at the
committee level:
1. Which candidate had the experience that would best fit with Iowa City's legislative agenda?
2. Which candidate had the experience that would best convey the City's issues with the State?
3. Which candidate had the ability to respond to Iowa City's needs at any point during the contractual
period?
4. Which candidate would best match with the City's management and administrative staff?
5. Which candidate has a proven ability to work with clients (in particular local government) to achieve
legislative goals?
6. Which candidate best understands Iowa City's specific set of circumstances?
7. Which candidate had the most reliable expressed work plan that accounted for conflicts of interest,
personal /sick time, and plans to achieve results?
Committee Recommendation:
As the points suggest, the evaluation committee recommends either candidate for the lobbyist position
with the City. The evaluation committee believes that either would perform their services to the best of
their abilities and that those abilities would meet or exceed Iowa City's expectations. Both candidates
have strong recommendations and are well qualified to serve the City.
Staff Recommendation:
While both candidates offer the City exceptional services, management staff recommends the Davis -
Brown Law Firm (the Firm) for the below reasons:
1. The Firm has experience working on local government issues and has a strong background with local
government administration and policy concerns.
2. The Firm has the best working knowledge of issues facing Iowa City including tax increment
financing and rail access.
November 30, 2011
Page 3
3. The Firm has committed to working with management, prior to the legislative session, to develop an
internal structure for communication between the City and the firm and spend time assisting with
building a comprehensive strategy around advocating for City issues.
4. While Iowa City will not be the Firm's only client, the Firm has the resources and staff to best mitigate
conflicts of interest and ensure continual services to Iowa City during the contractual period.
5. The Firm expressed that Iowa City will be a priority during the legislative session and has the capacity
to ensure attention to matters pertaining to Iowa City.
6. The Firm has estimated a lower cost than the $30,000 price point.
7. The Firm has the organizational management experience and structure to offer the best likelihood for
legislative success and working with Iowa City as not only a new client but also a first time lobbying
client
It is recommend that the City of Iowa City enter into a contract with the Davis -Brown Law Firm and
begin the process of developing a legislative strategy for the 2012 legislative session.
