MEMORANDUM DATE: January 13, 2012 TO: Tom Markus, City Manager FROM: Rick Fosse, Public Works Director RE: Setting a Public Hearing regarding East Side Recycling Center Leases — January 24, 2012 Introduction: Construction of the improvements to the East Side Recycling Center is nearing completion and it is necessary to enter into lease agreements for the new and expanded spaces. Staff has prepared a lease agreement with Habitat for Humanity /ReStore for their expanded and improved space. A current lease exists with Habitat that will terminate when a new lease is enacted. The new lease includes more space for program expansions and new rates for the space. Staff has also prepared a lease agreement with the Friends of Historic Preservation for the new Salvage Barn space at the East Side Recycling Center. Salvage Barn has been located at the landfill for approximately ten years but no lease or rent structure exists for that space. Both leases have a ten year duration with three five -year possible extensions. History /Background: The City purchased the East Side Recycling Center in 2006 to build a comprehensive recycling site to serve eastern Iowa City and to house non - profit waste diversion operations such as ReStore, Furniture Project and Salvage Barn. The construction project at the East Side Recycling Center will accommodate the location or expansion of these operations at this site. ReStore has rented space since 2006. ReStore also has taken over full operations of the Furniture Project. These partners have worked closely with the landfill to divert reusable materials from the landfill and will be able to expand and improve their operations with the new spaces. Discussion of Solution: The leases define the costs and obligations of the use of space at the East Side Recycling Center and have been reviewed by the City Attorney's Office. Future amendments can be made by approval of City Council. Additionally, the City has spelled out tasks for the tenants to share the oversight of the site; the tasks are spelled out in an addendum that can be changed by the Director of Public Works. The leases and addendum will be reviewed annually by Staff. Financial Impact: The lease with Habitat for Humanity will net $21,131.00 annually. The lease with Friends of Historic Preservation will net $3,870.00 annually. The rent can be increased up to 5% annually at the discretion of the City Manager. In addition, the tenants each have a list of responsibilities that contribute to the success of the site. These responsibilities, including interacting with the January 17, 2012 Page 2 public, taking electronic waste for recycling, providing programs at the education center, closing /opening the site gate daily and some site maintenance Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the lease agreements. cc: Ron Knoche, City Engineer Dave Elias, Superintendent of Wastewater and Landfill Jen Jordan, Recycling Coordinator �ti1 U1 24"' 4e(5) Prepared by: Jennifer Jordan, Recycling Coordinator, 3900 Hebl Ave., Iowa City, IA 52246 (319) 887 -6160 RESOLUTION NO. 12 -33 RESOLUTION SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING ON FEBRUARY 21, 2012, REGARDING THE INTENT TO ENTER INTO A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE FRIENDS OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION (SALVAGE BARN) AT THE EAST SIDE RECYCLING CENTER.

Jones 740 Elliott Court Iowa City, IA 52246 Contact Person: Phone: Gary Watts (319) 665 -9200 Requested Action: Rezoning from Commercial Office (CO -1) to High Density Multi - Family Residential (RM -44). A comprehensive plan amendment will be necessary for this rezoning change. Purpose: Location: Size: Existing Land Use and Zoning Surrounding Land Use and Zoning To allow development of a new multi - family building 821 E. Jefferson Street 20,336 square feet Medical Office / CO -1 North: Residential; RNS -12 South: Residential; RM -44 & RNS -20 East: Residential; RM -44 & RNS -12 West: Residential; RM -44 & RNS -20 Comprehensive Plan: Central District Plan shows the property as Commercial Office. Immediately adjacent properties in this block are shown as High Density Multi - Family Residential with Single Family Residential Stabilization across the street to the north and to the east and Multi - Family Neighborhood Stabilization to the south and west. File Date: October 13, 2011 45 Day Limitation Period: November 27, 2011 2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The property at 821 E. Jefferson contains a medical office building, which is currently vacant. Medical offices were an allowed use in the R3A Zone, which was the zoning designation for this property when the office building was first built in the late 1960's. When a new zoning structure was adopted in Iowa City the early 1980's, medical offices were no longer included as an allowed use in the multi - family zones, so a number of the properties that contained medical offices were rezoned to Commercial Office to avoid creating nonconformities. This was the case for the medical office at 821 Jefferson Street. The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from Commercial Office to High Density Multi - Family Residential (RM -44) and intends to take down the existing office building and construct a 15 -unit apartment building in its place. The property is located in the floodplain of Ralston Creek, which is located just south of the property. Since the new building will be located within the floodplain, underground parking is not possible in this location and the residential units must be built at least one foot above the flood hazard level. Therefore, the applicant is proposing to use the ground level floor of the building for parking and the apartments will be located on the 2 -1/2 floors above this parking level. To meet the parking requirement for the proposed number of units, it will also be necessary for additional parking to be located on a surface parking lot located to the rear of the building with access from the alley (see the attached draft site plan submitted by the applicant). The applicant chose to use the "Good Neighbor Policy" and held a neighborhood meeting on October 27. They also intend to hold a second neighborhood meeting on November 15. ANALYSIS: Current and Proposed Zoning: The current zoning of the property is Commercial Office (CO -1). The purpose of the Commercial Office zone as stated in the zoning ordinance "is to provide specific areas where office functions, compatible businesses, apartments and certain public and semi - public uses may be developed in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan." Similar to many of the City's commercial zones, the CO -1 Zone allows apartments above ground floor commercial uses. The residential density allowed in the CO -1 Zone is similar to what is allowed in the Low Density Multi - Family (RM -12) Zone (1 unit per 2,725 square feet of lot area) with up to 4 bedrooms per unit. The current CO -1 zoning on this property would allow up to seven apartments to development above first floor office or other allowed commercial use. According to the purpose statement in the zoning ordinance, the High Density Multi - Family Residential Zone (RM -44) "establishes areas for the development of high density, multi - family dwellings and group living quarters. Properties zoned RM -44 should be located with good access to all City services and facilities, including public transportation services. Vehicular access and parking should be designed carefully to ensure efficient traffic and pedestrian circulation on adjacent streets. Due to the high density permitted in this zone, careful attention to site design is expected to ensure that buildings are compatible with surrounding land uses and that a quality living environment will be maintained over time." The zone allows a maximum residential density of 1 unit per 1000 square feet of lot area or approximately 44 units per acre. The zone also allows a larger household size — up to five unrelated persons may reside in each apartment unit. If the subject property were rezoned to RM -44 up to 20 apartments could be built on the property. However, the number of apartments and the bedroom mix that can actually be achieved is limited by the number of parking spaces that will fit on the property. While the zoning code states that quality design is important in the RM -44 Zone, there have been concerns expressed since this zoning category was created that the resulting buildings and properties have not always achieved this goal, particularly in those areas close to the University 3 campus where apartments were largely being built to serve the student housing market rather than other populations. Many of the complaints and concerns expressed involve dormitory-style apartments with a large number of bedrooms and bathrooms with little living and dining space or other on -site amenities. Apartment units with these types of configurations are not very marketable to other populations besides undergraduate college students. As one can see the attached location map, almost all the properties on this block are zoned RM- 44 except for the subject property and three smaller properties located on the south side of Ralston Creek that front on Iowa Avenue. Since the immediately adjacent properties to the east, west and south are zoned RM -44, rezoning the subject property to RM -44 would make it consistent with this zoning pattern. The property is centrally located with good access to all City services and facilities and has a variety of transportation options available to residents. The medical office building that exists on the property has not been updated to current medical office standards and is also at risk to flash flood events along Ralston Creek. Upzoning the property to RM -44 will create an incentive for a developer to expend the money to demolish the existing building and to invest in constructing a new building that is designed to meet current building and floodplain regulations. Properties on the blocks to the south and west of the subject block are mostly zoned Multi - Family Stabilization (RNS -20), which is a zone that was created in the early 1980's in response to concerns about historic single family homes being torn down and replaced with large apartment buildings that were out -of -scale and character with the neighborhood. The new zone reduced the allowable density to 1 unit per 1800 square feet, but granted conforming rights to existing higher density properties. While this did alleviate some of the pressure to tear down older homes, concerns remained. There has clearly been a concerted effort on the part of the neighborhood and the City to work toward finding the right balance between student rentals and housing for other household types - singles, couples, and families desiring to live in a central location near employment and the shopping, restaurants, and other amenities offered in downtown Iowa City. The Single Family Neighborhood Stabilization (RNS -12) Zone was created in the early 1990's as another tool to balance the various housing needs and to preserve the historic single family character of certain neighborhoods. Most of the blocks north and east of the subject 800 block of Jefferson Street are zoned RNS -12. The RNS -12 Zone allows single family homes and duplexes, but does not allow new multi - family dwellings. Existing multi - family buildings are granted conforming rights according to the previous zoning designation of the property. Comprehensive Plan: The Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan indicates that this block is a transition between medium density residential (16 -24 units per acre) on the south side of the block and lower density residential (8 -16 units per acre) on the north side of the block, including the subject property. The Central District Plan was adopted in 2008 and contains a more detailed plan map, which supersedes the more general map in the 1997 Comprehensive Plan. The plan map in the Central District Plan mirrors the current zoning map, with the subject property designated as office commercial surrounded by high density multi - family residential and the neighborhood stabilization designations as described above. A Comprehensive Plan amendment to change the office commercial designation in the Central District Plan to high density multi - family residential will be necessary if the proposed rezoning is to be approved. Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission set a public hearing to amend the Comprehensive Plan and Central District Plan for the December 1 meeting. A copy of the Central District Plan map for this portion of the central district is attached. The Central District component of the Comprehensive Plan addresses the existing conditions, goals and objectives for the subject area on pp. 13 -16 and pp. 20 -22 of the plan (which have been copied and attached). In general the plan describes the current efforts to create a stable and diverse neighborhood with a balance of housing options. Goal 1 on p. 20 states, "Promote the 4 Central District as an attractive place to live by encouraging reinvestment in the residential property throughout the district and by supporting new housing opportunities." The applicant is proposing to reinvest in the property at 821 Jefferson Street by taking down a 1960's era office building that is obsolete and out -of- character with the older homes in the neighborhood and replace it with a new multi - family building. The applicant has submitted an elevation drawing and colored rendering of the proposed building. Any new multi - family building constructed in the Central Planning District must comply with the multi - family site development standards and is subject to design review. The building must reflect an architectural style that is compatible with the historic character of the Central Planning District. New buildings should appear similar to a large house or a small historic apartment building. In staff's opinion the elevation drawing and architectural rendering indicate the applicant's intent to construct a building that pays homage to historic architectural styles found in the neighborhood. Goal 2 on p. 20 of the Central District Plan states, "Work to achieve a healthy balance of rental and owner - occupied housing in the district's older neighborhoods to promote long -term investment, affordable housing opportunities and preservation of historic homes and neighborhoods." For further guidance, see also objectives f. and g. under this goal, which are also relevant to this rezoning request. The City Council recently indicated concerns about the RM -44 Zone and has asked City staff to examine the zoning standards for the RM -44 Zone and suggest changes that will ensure that this zone is meeting the goal of creating quality living environments for residents and supports overall housing goals and neighborhood stabilization efforts. While staff has not had a chance to carefully review and make any definitive suggestions for changes, it is staff's opinion that reducing or eliminating the allowance for apartments with 4- and 5- bedrooms and perhaps establishing a maximum percentage of 3- bedroom apartments would be one way to help prevent RM -44 apartment buildings from becoming nuisance properties. Requiring a mix of efficiencies, 1, 2, and 3- bedroom units would also increase the marketability of the units to a broader mix of residents. The unit mix proposed by the applicant is: • 12 — 3- bedroom units • 2 — 2- bedroom units • 1 —1- bedroom unit Total: 15 units with 41 bedrooms A total of 29 parking spaces will be required for this mix of apartments. The applicant has submitted a draft site plan that shows the footprint of the building and the proposed parking layout. Conclusion: In staff's opinion, upzoning the property at 821 Jefferson Street will provide the financial incentive necessary to encourage redevelopment and reinvestment in the property, which currently contains an office building that is out of character with the older residential neighborhood surrounding it. Careful design of the building and a good mix of apartment sizes may help to alleviate concerns about de- stabilizing the surrounding neighborhood with dormitory-style apartments that are difficult to manage over time. Staff finds that the proposed architectural design of the exterior fagade is complementary to the historic character of the neighborhood. While the apartment mix could be further improved by increasing the number of one and two bedroom apartments, staff notes that there are no 4- and 5- bedroom units proposed, which in staff's view is a positive aspect of the proposed building. Staff suggests that if the rezoning is approved that it be subject to a conditional zoning agreement that requires the design to be consistent with the submitted drawings and that the building contains an appropriate mix of apartment sizes as reflected in the number of bedrooms and associated shared living space to ensure a quality living environment as determined by the Commission and the City Council. 5 Because of the necessary Comprehensive Plan amendment, this rezoning will need to be deferred to the December 1 meeting. Further details regarding any conditional zoning agreement should be developed before the Commission's vote at that meeting. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that REZ11- 00018, an application to rezone the property located at 821 Jefferson Street from Commercial Office (CO -1) to High Density Multi - Family Residential (RM- 44), be approved subject to a comprehensive plan amendment changing the plan map to show the area as High Density Multi - Family Residential and a Conditional Zoning Agreement that ensures that design of the building will be consistent with the submitted drawings and that it contains an appropriate mix of apartment sizes as reflected in the number of bedrooms and associated living spaces to ensure a quality living environment as determined by the Commission and the Council.

Jefferson Street At your last meeting, the Commission requested some additional information regarding the neighborhood that surrounds the property at 821 E. Jefferson Street. Specifically you requested information about the number of complaints for disorderly house or other criminal activities in the area. Looking just at the criminal complaints that have led to official citations for disorderly house, disorderly conduct, alcohol or drug related charges from 2004 to 2011, there have been 36 incidents that have occurred within the 700, 800, and 900 blocks of Jefferson Street and Iowa Avenue and the adjacent block faces along Lucas and Governor Streets. In addition, the City website has a map that documents the actual properties and addresses where there have been citations issued in the period from August 1, 2011 up to the current date. I've attached a snapshot of this map for the area in question. Keep in mind that not all police calls result in citations, so it is quite likely that other incidents have occurred that are not included on the map or in our database. These numbers also do not included general nuisance complaints or citations for such things as garbage and debris in the front yard, tall grass and weeds or snow and ice on sidewalks. We are still in the process of mapping the number of rental units and bedroom mix in the vicinity and should have more information for you at your meeting on Monday evening.

Prime Venture is going to build an apartment house and rent it to young professionals. But we are not going to live with the concept of this development, but the reality of it. The vast majority of the units are 3 bedrooms which is better than the 4 or 5 bedroom units often found in the RM 44 zone. But are young professionals going to be willing to share a 3 bedroom apartment? In the Nov. 12`h article about the river front development in the Press Citizen one of the objects officials stated they would like to see is efficiency and one bedroom units that would be affordable for people working downtown, nurses, policemen associate professors. Three bedroom apartments were never mentioned. In a large city people might be more willing to share an apartment because of expense, but in Iowa City this is the exception The first choice is to live alone. Would families with children consider this a living choice? Who is most likely to rent these 3 bedroom apartments? Although parking sounds like a broken record, it is always brought up because it is a problem that still hasn't been dealt with successfully in this area. When this area was originally developed, the lots were designed for single family houses. The attempt 1P retro fit these lots with larger denser buildings always brings on parking problems. Although the developer is providing 29 parking spaces there are 41 bedrooms. Although conceptually this may not be a problem, in reality where are the other 12 cars going to go. Even with just 29 parking spaces, the lot is basicly going to be all building and lot. The only green space are the required set backs on the sides and front. Are developments where the majority of the site is covered by the building and parking a positive addition to a neighborhood? Are they in keeping with neighborhood character? The doctor's office has had a bey affect on the neighborhood. The office was open 8- 5 Mon. —Fri. Weekends and evenings it was closed It was active during the time most people were at work. During the evening and weekends there was no activity. One of the arguments for the Linn Bloomington project was the need for mor commercial space. Here we have that very thing. We realize that this property is going to be redeveloped. Our hope is that the development will be a positive addition to our neighborhood. We don't feel this is the best fit. r, y4l�4xd 4-t. .off 7a6 q(3 -c iTrF�/1N ; E'NveZQ2cZtf'T, F 1,/-Y- Je-FFFPs60 ST. tvi / L-1 �, &0 /1 C�,L� C()UC �Q,�?S 11 To: The Iowa City Planning & Zoning Commission Subject: REZ11 -00018 & Comprehensive Plan Amendment 821 Jefferson Street To whom it may concern, My name is Dr. Carl J. Christel. I rent the apartment in 1002 Y2 E Jefferson St. since August 2011. It has come to my attention that there is a plan to rezone 821 E. Jefferson Street from Commercial Office (CO -1) to High Density Multi - Family Residential (RM -44). In the wake of this issue I want to make a personal statement against this endeavor. Earlier this year I moved into 1002 Y2 E Jefferson St, a single apartment. I work as a Post - Doctoral Scholar for the Dept. for Molecular Physiology and Biophysics of the UIOWA. One major reason for my move was that this area is close enough to downtown and my laboratory for me to be independent of motorization throughout the year. Just as important to me is the fact that this area is low in Multi- Family Residential Complexes which often are rented not to families but instead rented to members of the ever so large undergrad student body. In choosing my new area to live I specifically looked for an area like 1002 E. Jefferson where there are few student residents. As a young researcher in a high stress work environment I am dependent on living in an area with a low student density since I cannot be troubled with the constant noise levels weekdays as well as weekends that coincide with a high student density. Therefor I want to make this a point against rezoning 821 Jefferson Street to a RM -44. It would be sad to see this area becoming another student - overrun area comparable to the streets South of Burlington St. It would force me (and I am convinced other young professionals) to move further away from the center of town resulting in more motorization of the City center and a less diverse profile of the entire area. Sin e y Carl J. Christel, Dr. rer. nat. 1002 Y2 E. Jefferson St. Iowa City, 52245, IA To: The Iowa City Planning & Zoning Commission Subject: Prime Venture project at 821 Jefferson We are very much concerned with the impact this building could have on our neighborhood. As landlords we attempt t� affordable housing to older more long term residents. Long term renters want a safe, stable, quiet neighborhood. The same things owner occupied houses want. They too are concerned about parking. We have attempted to fill an important need in this area. We do not want to see this compromised. AV C9 � / F' M 6,t We t ioiz �.��n To: The Iowa City Planning & Zoning Commission Subject: Rez11 -00018 Comprehensive Plan Amendment 821 Jefferson To whom it may concern; We are asking that the comprehensive plan not be changed from office commercial to high density multi - family residential. Although this zone maybe in keeping with the property just to the east and west of this property if the whole area is taken into consideration we believe this zone is not compatible with the zoning around it. These properties were all zoned in the 60s when the city felt upzoning was the answer to the central district. Over the years the RM44 zone has had detrimental effects on all the surrounding area where it was implemented. We would call attention to Johnson, Van Buren, and Bowery Streets. We would also call attention to the Purpose 14 -1A -3 of the Introductory Provisions of the zoning code. We do not believe this rezoning is in keeping with the goals of that section of the code. It is now 50 years since that zone was created and we are still dealing with the effects of it. In fact the city council has asked the city staff to examine this zone and possibly do away with it. If in 50 years this zone has not been a positive addition to the neighborhoods in which it has been introduced there is no reason to believe it would work this time. This is our neighborhood and we .want it to continue to be a welcoming, safe, vibrant place that attracts long term residents. Without long term residents who are committed to their homes and the neighborhood there is no neighborhood. Please help us in our efforts to maintain our neighborhood. r �t - jai ,M�kef 1�V ► ►9 rl. ,�oUC..vn,� z4• 113 C- J E sr.

Jeff Jones Greetings. I am the owner of the property which is coming up before the council for rezoning. There is a motion to place it on the agenda for 1/10, and the formal meeting is 1/24. The zoning board number is REZ11- 00018. 1 have attached a letter to this email about this. I'd like to discuss it with the council before the meeting on the 24th, if possible. I will also email each member if possible. Thank you for your consideration. Jeff Jones 740 Elliott Court Iowa City, IA 52246 319- 541 -3592 ZephyrusC�aol.com I am the owner of the property at 821 E Jefferson which is on the rezoning agenda for 1/24/12. It is presently zoned CO -1 for commercial office. The structure on the site was originally built in 1968 as a medical office with an addition in 1999. There is no interest for a commercial office there. No new physician/dentist /other health professionals are going to purchase the building. The structure is in the 500 year flood plain. Part of the lot is in the 100 year flood plain. According to city code, structures now must be built above the 500 year flood plain, so any major changes to the building would require raising the structure by several feet. This change has essentially made the building unsalable. This also makes using the lot for other uses difficult as will be pointed out below. The structure is surrounded on the west /east and south by RM -44 zoning in the same block. There is half an RM 44 block 3 blocks west on the Central District Plan Map. The next nearest is south of Burlington St. The two blocks directly west are RNS 20, as is half of the block east and the blocks south past Burlington St. There are economic factors here. The property is mortgaged. Even with this offer, I owe more on the property than the offer. The worth of the land to any developer is contingent on how many units (houses /condos /apartments) can be built on a given piece of property. Any buyer is going to want to have a development that is rentable /salable. The present zoning CO -1 would allow a first floor commercial venue and 21 apartments above (3 bedroom units). This would be problematic due to the flood plain issue. The structure would need to be higher than the present office. This would cause ingress /egress issues. The first floor would need to be parking, then commercial and apartments above. I can't see any commercial business wanting this type of layout, plus there is no interest for commercial /office space here. It is too far away to be considered "downtown ". RM -44 would allow for 5 BR units and would allow 100 bedrooms on the property according to the P &Z minutes, but this cannot be done due to parking limits. RNS 20 would allow 4 bedroom units, 44 bedrooms would be allowed on the property. RNS 12 allows 3 bedroom units, but only in duplexes or single family homes. With the flood plain issues, again this would involve lower level parking and stairs up into the condo/home. I doubt duplexes /single family dwellings would sell on this parcel. The proposed development has 41 bedrooms. By RNS 20 it would be allowed, but with 4 bedroom units. It has the spirit of the RNS 12 with 3 BR maximum units. Parking and traffic were concerns brought up at the P &Z meeting. I suspect this will still be a problem no matter what goes here. One of the main problems is the sorority south of us has no parking. I doubt this project will have more traffic than the office or another commercial project would. We easily had over one hundred vehicles in and out in a day. The block is bordered by two arterial streets, I don't think it will add to the traffic by a great deal, again probably less than we had before. Most of the houses around this are already rentals. I don't see how adding apartments in an area of mostly rentals is changing the "neighborhood ". We're not tearing down single family houses to put up an apartment building here, just an outdated office building. It is not in an historic nor conservation district. The city Planning and Zoning department, people who are trained in urban planning, approved this development plan. The speakers at the P &Z meeting all seemed to complain about the student renters. Just where are the students supposed to live? The University is the main reason the city exists as it does They have to live somewhere, and the student enrollment keeps going up. This is a GOOD thing. I don't think the nearby residents would like a dormitory being built here either, and dorms don't pay property taxes. Speaking of which, the city will have much higher tax revenues form this project than the office and /or a smaller project. The city often talks about "affordable housing ", in order to achieve that 1 suspect you need a higher density of development. The property has been on the market for more than a year. There have been only three interested parties, all contingent on gaining an RM 44 zoning. Again, no one is interested in it as a commercial property nor office. The first two parties plans were rejected out of hand by Planning and Zoning. Only when Mr. Watts went to the City Manager were they willing to listen to plans to change the zoning to RM 44. Mr. Watts is on his fourth set of plans to get it this far. If this fails, who else do you think is going to want to purchase this property? While waiting for buyers and approval over the past year, I continue to pay rent, property taxes, etc. I have already spent over $100,000 on this. I have no other properties to apply this to as a "write off'. It's simply money wasted. Again, even this offer is less than what I owe on the property, but I'm running out of time and money here. To summarize, the developer wants to build a 41 bedroom apartment building here, an apartment building in an area of mostly rental homes and apartments. The zoning directly around it is already RM -44. Most of the surrounding to the south/east /west is RNS 20 which would allow this many bedrooms. He's following the "spirit" of RNS 12 to the north with only 3 bedrooms per unit. It looks like a very nice structure from the elevation drawings. Parking /traffic should be no more of a problem than it was for the office building. The city will make more in property taxes and I will not have to declare bankruptcy. What's not to like?

Pursuant to Iowa City Code 4- 5- 8(B)(3)(a), the PAULA ratio will be calculated by dividing the total number of PAULA citations issued by both the Iowa City Police Department (ICPD) and the University of Iowa Department of Public Safety (UIPD) to patrons of the establishment by the number of bar checks performed by both ICPD and UIPD at that establishment. For purposes of these standards, a bar check is identified as an officer - initiated check of a liquor establishment for PAULA or other alcohol related violations. This includes checks done as part of directed checks of designated liquor establishments, and checks initiated by officers as part of their routine duties. In the course of a bar check, officers shall initiate and call out the activity to dispatch, walk through the interior of the establishment with the specific purpose of looking for alcohol violations, and issue citations for any alcohol offenses they observe. If officers remove patrons from the establishment for issuance of a citation, re -entry into the establishment to continue the bar check shall be considered part of the same bar check. A Bar Check DOES NOT include responding to a bar for calls for service such as a fight, ID disputes, or other calls initiated by the establishment or other outside parties. Any officer's presence not related to PAULA enforcement, such as talking with door staff or getting a drink of water, shall not constitute a bar check. The PAULA ratio allowed by Iowa City Code 4- 5- 8(B)(3)(a), 4- 5- 8(B)(3)(g)(2), 4- 5- 8(B)(6)(c), 4- 5- 8(B)(7)(a)(5), 4- 5- 8(B)(7)(d)(2), and all other paragraphs referring to these paragraphs, shall be .25, based on at least ten (10) or more bar checks. Audits. Pursuant to Iowa City Code 4- 5- 8(B)(3)(b), the following factors shall be considered in determining whether to require an audit: 1. The percentage of non - alcohol sales reported by the establishment. 2. Whether the establishment has previously qualified for an exception certificate. 3. The PAULA ratio of the establishment. 4. Whether the establishment appears to be operating as a bar. 5. Whether cover charges or other payments are required for entry. 6. The prior history of the applicant. 7. Any other information suggesting the primary business of the establishment is the sale of alcohol. The Chief of Police retains the ultimate authority to determine whether an audit shall be performed. If an audit is required the deposit amount to be paid by the establishment to the City shall be $2,500. Revised 1/24/2012 15 Prepared by: Eric R. Goers, Asst. City Attorney, 410 E.

The facility has a gas collection system and is surrounded by groundwater monitoring wells. Each year both systems are monitored and analyzed for quality control and the results are submitted to the Iowa DNR for review. History /Background: Professional engineering services are required to monitor, analyze, prepare and submit the necessary regulatory reports for the landfill gas collection system and groundwater monitoring systems. Staff has made the decision to outsource this work since 1992 because there are specialized technical skills and software necessary. Discussion of Solution: An agreement has been negotiated with HR Green Company to provide these services for 2012. Financial Impact: The total cost of engineering services is $131,900. Funding will be provided by landfill revenues. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the engineering services contract with HR Green Company at the January 24th City Council Meeting. cc: Ron Knoche, City Engineer Daniel Scott, Project Engineer r ^Y�® CITY OF IOWA CITY MEMORANDUM DATE: January 17, 2012 TO: Rick Fosse, Public Works Director FROM: Daniel Scott, Sr. Civil EngineerDQ5; re: Iowa City Landfill Annual Air and Groundwater Monitoring Services January 24 The Landfill and Recycling Center has a gas collection system and groundwater monitoring system in accordance with state and federal regulations for protection of the air and ground water. Professional engineering services are required to monitor, analyze, prepare and submit the necessary regulatory reports for the landfill gas collection system and groundwater monitoring systems. It is best to use a consultant for this analysis and report submittal because there are specialized technical skills and computer software necessary. The ongoing investigation and site assessment work is being done by HR Green. The site assessment work is specifically related to the groundwater movement in the northeast corner of the site, where an additional 17 acres was acquired. It is necessary to complete this investigation and submittal to Iowa DNR related to this regulatory issue before we potentially change consultants. The annual monitoring and this investigation work mesh together so it would be better to have them both done by the same consultant. This investigation work will be completed this year. After 2012 it would make more sense to safely seek competitive proposals for the 2013 annual services. We have purposefully only contracted for 1 year in 2012 for this reason. In the past these annual services contracts have been contracted in three year contracts. In addition, it is not an easy task to switch to a new consultant because of the amount of data transfer necessary. The data consists of all the monitoring well samples for each well for each year that has been statistically compared to upstream and downstream wells. A new consultant must recreate this background information before beginning work on any future work. The last switch, which occurred in 1995, took several months to make the transfer and recreation of data and cost several thousand dollars. An agreement has been negotiated with HR Green Company to provide these services for 2012. The original proposal was for $141,600 but that was negotiated lower by Staff to $131,900. For these reasons, Staff recommends approval of the engineering services contract with HR Green Company at the January 24th City Council Meeting. cc: Ron Knoche, City Engineer Daniel Scott, Project Engineer Prepared by: Dan Scott, Senior Engineer, 410 E.

Inc., of Cedar Rapids. Iowa , hereinafter referred to as the CONSULTANT. WHEREAS, the City of Iowa City desires to secure the services of an engineering consulting firm to provide assistance in the completion of annual environmental services at the Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center, in order to remain in compliance with the requirements of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Sanitary Disposal Project Permit and Title V Air Emissions Permits. NOW THEREFORE, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto that the CITY does now contract with the CONSULTANT to provide services as set forth herein. 1. SCOPE OF SERVICES The CONSULTANT agrees to perform the following services for the CITY, and to do so in a timely and satisfactory manner. TITLE V COMPLIANCE Calendar Year 2012 The CONSULTANT will perform the following services. Title V Annual Compliance Certification Report By March 31, compliance certifications will be prepared for submittal of data collected for the previous calendar year. The certifications will include descriptions of means to monitor the compliance status of all emissions sources including emissions limitations, standards, and work practices in accordance with applicable requirements. The certification of sources will include the identification of each term or condition of the permit that is the basis of the certification; the compliance status; whether compliance was continuous or intermittent; the method(s) used for determining the compliance status of the source, currently and over the reporting period, consistent with applicable department rules. For sources determined not to be in compliance at the time of certification, a compliance schedule will be prepared which provides for periodic progress reports, dates for achieving activities, milestones, and an explanation of why any dates were missed and preventive or corrective measures. The compliance certification will be submitted to the administrator, director, and the appropriate DNR Field office. This task is in accordance with the requirements of 567 IAC 22.108 (15) "e ". 2. Title V Annual Emissions Inventory Report The following forms will be prepared for emissions for the previous calendar year. submittal by March 31, documenting actual a. Form 1.0 "Facility Identification "; b. Form 4.0 "Emissions unit - actual operations and emissions" for each emission unit; c. Form 5.0 "Title V annual emissions summary/fee "; and d. Part 3 "Application certification." \ \HRGCRNAS\ DATA \10100043.11 \DESIGN \CONTRACT12012 ANN SERV\AGT- 122011- IC_ANN SERV12_DT.DOC Page 1 of 9 3. Title V Annual Fee Payment Report The permittee (the City) is required under subrule [567] IAC 22.106 to pay an annual fee based on the total tons of actual emissions of each regulated air pollutant. The fee must be submitted annually by July 1St. Upon receipt of the schedule of fees from IDNR for the Annual Emission Fee payment, the necessary supporting forms will be prepared for submittal with the annual fee provided by the City of Iowa City. The associated fee payment is not included in the fees for engineering services identified in this Agreement. The CITY shall submit the fee with the following forms prepared by the CONSULTANT: a. Form 1.0 "Facility Identification'; b. Form 5.0 "Title V annual emissions summary/fee "; c. Part 3 "Application certification." 4. Title V Semi - annual Monitoring Report By March 31 and September 30, reports will be prepared addressing the monitoring required under this permit for the six month periods of July 1 to December 31 and January 1 to June 30, respectively. Instances of deviations from permit requirements will be identified in these reports. The reports must be signed by a responsible official, consistent with [567] IAC 22.107(4) and submitted to the director and the appropriate IDNR Field office, consistent with [567] IAC 22.108 (5). This compliance reporting is in direct response to the requirements of the Iowa City landfill Title V Air Emissions Operating Permit, and is therefore separate from the monitoring and reporting required by the IDNR- issued construction permit for the landfill gas collection and control system, from the semi - annual Landfill Gas System Operations Reports required by 40 CFR 60.757 (f) (1) through (6) and 40 CFR 63.1980, and the periodic and immediate Startup, Shutdown and Malfunction (SSM) reporting that may be required by 40 CFR 63.10 (d) (5) (i) and (d) (5) (ii), respectively. 5. Title V Operating Permit and Construction Permit Updates The Title V Operating Permit (00- TV- 007R1) was originally issued in 2000 and is renewable every five years. The most recent renewal application was submitted to the Air Quality Bureau of the IDNR in 2010. Since the time of the submittal, CONSULTANT has discussed the pending renewal with IDNR staff and verified other applicable air quality permit requirements related to the recent landfill expansion. As this process continues in 2012, the IDNR may have additional questions and require clarification, or additional data. This agreement includes a limited budget in calendar year 2012 to address IDNR correspondence as part of this review process. The current landfill development plans (including cell FY09 and future cells) provides for a substantial increase in operational volume. Since the operational volume has increased, the landfill's design capacity and corresponding potential -to -emit (PTE) has also increased. This increase in PTE is considered a modification per the air quality rules and requires that the landfill's Air Quality Construction Permit (00- Al2 -S1), originally issued in 2000, be amended. This permit amendment is separate from the Operating Permit renewal. Unlike the Operating Permit, the Construction Permits do not require periodic renewal but do require amending when there is a physical or operational change that increases the PTE. The IDNR further indicated that the current Construction Permit that combines the ground flare and the landfill must be separated so that each of these emission units has its own air construction permit. Note that this is a departure from the way this construction permit was \ \HRGCRNAS\ DATA \10100043.11 TES IGN \CONTRACT\2012 ANN SERV\AGT- 122011- IC_ANN SERV12_DT.DOC Page 2 of 9 originally issued. The IDNR originally considered that all landfill gases were collected and sent to the flare. They have since required that a separate construction permit be obtained to account for gases not collected. As required, air construction permitting is to proceed after all other necessary permits (i.e. Sanitary Disposal Project Permit) are obtained. Now that cell FY09 is permitted to accept waste, the air permitting tasks to increase design capacity should proceed. Upon completion of the Construction Permits, the relevant information for the Operating Permit will be prepared and forwarded as an addendum to the permit renewal application that is currently pending IDNR review. In summary, the primary work tasks for this item include the following: a. Calculate the increased PTE as a result of the Phase 3 expansion (FY09 and future cells). b. Prepare Air Quality Construction Permit modification for the flare (00 -A- 012 -S1); c. Prepare Air Quality Construction Permit application for the landfill (to account for uncollected gases); d. Prepare addendum to the Operating Permit renewal application (00- TV- 007R1) to incorporate the construction permit revisions; e. Provide ongoing correspondence with IDNR staff during permit review. Based on our discussions with IDNR staff, their review of the pending Operating Permit renewal application will be held to allow time for the preparation and submittal of the air quality construction permits and related documents described above. This is preferred so that the renewed Title V Operating Permit will reflect all the pertinent information when issued and a future amendment is avoided. These documents will be submitted to the IDNR Air Quality Bureau on or before February 29, 2012. SEMI - ANNUAL LFG SYSTEM OPERATING REPORTS Calendar Year 2012 The CONSULTANT will perform the following services. Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 60.757 (f) (1) through (6) and 63.1980 require the submittal of semi - annual operations reports to the Air Quality Bureau of IDNR.

Title Signature Date I i CITY OF IOWA CITY �$ MEMORANDUM�- Date: January 13, 2012 To: Tom Markus, City Manager From: Chris O'Brien, Director of Transportation Services Re: MOU — Elder Services, January 24, 2012 City Council Meeting Introduction: At the January 24, 2012 City Council meeting, consideration will be given to a resolution authorizing Iowa City Transit to enter into a memorandum of understanding with Coralville Transit and Elder Services, Inc. to provide matching funds for a New Freedom Grant funding a Volunteer Transportation Coordinator. History /background: Over the past several years evaluation of the community's transportation systems has consistently listed a deficiency in the area of door through door transportation. The fixed route transit system picks up passengers at designated bus stops and transports them to other designated bus stops. The paratransit services provided by Johnson County SEATS provide door to door service so that passengers are met at the door by a SEATS driver who will transport the individual to the door of their desired destination. The Volunteer Transportation Service, to be provided by Elder Services, Inc., will provide door through door service for medical related appointments which goes above and beyond ADA requirements. Iowa City applied for and was awarded New Freedom funding for a Volunteer Coordinator position for Elder Services, Inc. to oversee and coordinate the activities of the program. The funding was awarded for one year and will need to be applied for annually to continue the 80% funding level. Discussion of Solution: Iowa City Transit is only responsible for funding of a portion of the match for the Volunteer Transportation Coordinator to be employed by Elder Services, Inc. No staffing will be required and no additional positions will need to be authorized. We will have time allocated to evaluate the program to determine if future years will be recommended for funding, at which time we will return to City Council with our recommendation. We see this service as a benefit to our transportation system as it fills a deficiency that has been outlined for the past several years. Financial Impact: The financial impact of authorizing the MOU will be $9,362.00 to the Transit budget. Any future funding will include a portion of the match also being paid for by Elder Services. Recommendation: It is the recommendation of the Transportation Services Department to authorize the Memorandum of Understanding for the matching funding of a Volunteer Transportation Coordinator.

History /background: The Transportation Services Department has always handled janitorial duties in house with a combination of staff consisting of Maintenance Worker I & II's. Each facility has a designated staff person responsible for the janitorial duties. In addition, the in house staff covers cashier breaks and performs minor maintenance on our equipment. Over the past several months, we have had multiple employees in these job classifications leave their positions. This has been a common occurrence over time as many of these positions have less than desirable shifts, i.e. 3pm — 12AM or 6pm — 3am. After two vacancies occurred in our maintenance staff, the Transportation Services Department researched the possibility of contracting for janitorial services with a private firm. A two month trial period was conducted to determine if the work performed would meet our expectations and requirements before a formal RFP process was conducted. During that trial it was determined that the work performed warranted an RFP process to evaluate the cost of a janitorial services contract for all of our parking facilities. The City of Iowa City Purchasing Department issued an RFP on September 15, 2011 and responses were received on October 13, 2011. Discussion of Solution: The RFP resulted in three responses ranging in an annual cost from $117,393.86 to $265,370.64. Currently, the Transportation Services Department has not filled two maintenance worker positions and one custodian position while deciding on the plan of action to perform janitorial duties in the facilities. The annual cost of the three positions, including benefits, is roughly $165,000.00. The options available for this solution are: 1.) Award the janitorial services contract to ABM Janitorial Services at a cost of $117,383.86 annually for the next three years. 2.) Replace the three vacant positions in the Transportation Services Department at an estimated annual cost of $165,000.00. Financial Impact: The impact of awarding the contract to ABM Janitorial Services is an estimated annual savings of $47,600.00 per year to the Transportation Services Department. In addition, the department would evaluate additional vacancies as they occur which could lead to additional savings. Recommendation: It is the recommendation of the Transportation Services Department to award the janitorial services contract to ABM Janitorial Services.
