Mayor Hayek:
Please consider this correspondence as a formal request to rename a portion of Broadway
Street south of Highway 6.
4g 3)
J
As you and the Council are well aware, Wetherby Condos South is currently undertaking a
rehabilitation of the Broadway Condominium complex in the 1900 block of Broadway Street.
The 2.2 million dollars of construction is funded in part with CDBG funds awarded to us last
year. Our primary driving force for this project was at that time, and still is, to make this area of
Iowa City a safer and more desirable place for families to live.
We feel one of the critical components to achieving our goal is to rebrand this complex and the
environment that surrounds it. We wish to remove all negative memories and instill a new and
positive outlook. We are in the process of renaming the complex itself and reworking any legal
paperwork that may be necessary. We also feel that a large part of our success will be the
renaming of the street the complex fronts on. We ask that the City rename this street to
Redwood Drive or a name the City feels suitable that is not connected with past. Enclosed with
this letter you will find some information that hopefully will assist you in your decision.
We are prepared to assist any business or home owner that would be impacted with the
changing of the street name. If the Council desires I would be more than happy to appear
before you and go into more detail concerning our assistance.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns and thank you for your
consideration.

RE: Roosevelt Elementary
Honorable Councilors:
I would like to see the City acquire Roosevelt, restore the grounds and
building, and lease it to an educational institution. Possible occupants
include the ICCSD, Kirkwood College, a private school, or a University of
Iowa ad hoc special purpose school.
An occupant would be able to walk in, drop his bags, pay the rent, and set
up shop. No capital to raise, no maintenance chores, no construction
oversight.
Three years ago, when closing was announced, re- purposing became the word
of the day. But I have a frosty attitued toward Roosevelt becoming a basket
weaving clinic, or a "magnet school" where ferrous materials learn how to
attract and repel.
Names of the 1931 school board and superintendent are cast in concrete at
the school entrance. The instructional nature trail is not a path through
the weeds - it is a monument to civil engineering and esthetic taste. The
second grade apple orchard is a straight line of evenly spaced and carefully
tended little trees, each the same size and shape as the others. Add the
teardrop driveway, Vatican City facade, ceramic gymnasium arches, and
Roosevelt begs to continue as the scene of ICCSD elementary schooling.
I have lived in the Roosevelt neighborhood for 31 years. I have met some of
the faculty and staff. The children are sweet, the grownups friendly.
Roosevelt is a distinctive place.
I envision Roosevelt as owned and maintained by the City, staffed by the
ICCSD, and operated by the University of Iowa as a K -6 teaching laboratory
for children in the immediate neighborhood. The societal lopsidedness of
the student body may be of interest to education researchers. If restoraticn
were carried out incrementally, the school would not have to close.
This letter is being circulated among others who have shown an interest in
Roosevelt as the signal to convey their own thoughts to members of the
City Council and to members of the School Board. My thinking may be endorsed,
altered, or abolished. Let us not mistake a crossroad for a dead end.
Many thanks,

Subject: RE: HMGP and City Park Access Plans
Ms. Dillman,
4g(6)
The Normandy Drive renovation area will fall under the Parks and Recreation Department and will be responding to
your questions.
When we were charged with the redevelopment, members of staff including myself met with the neighborhood on
site June 9, 2011 and again June 30, 2011. At that time ideas were accepted and discussed, some preliminary concept
plans were handed out and various options discussed about what the neighborhood wanted to see in the area.
At both meetings I told the neighbors in attendance that we would be expanding Normandy Drive into City Park as a
secondary entrance /exit into City Park. The two reasons we are planning on this is 1) for an entrance /exit into the park
during the construction of the Park Road bridge, and 2) a secondary exit for safety and security reasons for patrons in
the park during storms and high traffic times. At both of those meetings I did not hear anyone voice any concerns
regarding this plan.
You are correct that under FEMA regulations we cannot use asphalt on FEMA purchases and with the construction of
this secondary access road we will only be able to use a pervious surface over the land purchased with HMGP funds. The
rest of the road in City Park can be any surface deemed necessary.
This plan is still in the design phase and has not been started but has been tentatively approved for funding. We will
also be meeting with the neighborhood again sometime this month to discuss additional plans for the area to start July
1, 2012. 1 would be happy to meet with you to show you the plan and to discuss the process further if you would like.
Please give me a call to meet at your convenience, If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact me.

RE: Access to City Park via Normandy Drive
As a home owner on Normandy Drive in Iowa City, I am writing to respond to rumors I
have heard that Iowa City is considering enhancing the access to City Park via
Normandy Drive.
1
In November, 2009, my husband and I sold our 853 Normandy Drive home (which
bordered City Park) to Iowa City under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. We,
and our neighbors who also sold their homes at the time, were told that Iowa City
would be restricted from using the land purchased under the Federal program for
anything but Green Space. This Federal restriction prevents asphalt paving over
the land purchased. Specifically, it should prevent any extension of Normandy
Drive into the park via those lands purchased with HMGP funding.
We continue to be home owners on Normandy Drive and have invested hundreds of
thousands of dollars in rebuilding our flood ravaged home at 845 Normandy
Drive. We made our decision to rebuild on this property with the understanding
that the land on the adjacent properties to the east and south of our home would
remain green space and not public road.
Could you please inform me of your plans regarding this issue? As I stated at the
beginning, I have only heard rumors concerning the option of extending Normandy
Drive and would appreciate any information you can give me.
Thank you,
Judith Dillman

Re: Rebuttal of PCRB Complaint # 11 -01
I am a member in good standing with the Iowa City PCRB. During the time that I have been on this
Board, I have felt as if I have made a contribution to the Iowa City Community. I had come to believe
that the good folks on this board are truly interested in providing community members with a alternative
to resolving problems without litigation.
While on the board I had an experience that prompted me to file complaint with the PCRB. As a member
of that board, I was expecting fair, reasonable and respectful treatment. However, I soon learned that
my action to file a complaint made me and outsider who troubled the waters of PCRB Board and the
Police Department. I followed the procedures and policies that drive the PCRB's decision making. One of
the statements that caught my attention in the guidelines was the fact that it stated that personal
knowledge is required to make a fair and equitable determination about a complaint. It also stated that
without direct involvement information will be rendered as second hand.
It is my sincere belief that the fact that the Johnson County Judge issued a "Directed Verdict of Acquittal"
which mean that I did not have to present evidence in my own case and this was not taken into
consideration by the PCRB. The PCRB should have reviewed the evidence and the results of the case.
PCRB went into closed session and begin to "interrogate" me. I didn't think that this was not a good
outcome in terms that I felt I wasn't heard and respected by the PCRB. I believed that the charges were
retaliatory.
Here I am, a person whom have been called on for collateral collaboration from the Iowa City Police
Department for my help with the youth in our community and yet when I needed help this is what I get.
I felt like the PCRB was adversarial towards me and I felt revictimized in the process.
It is disappointing and scary that we, the PCRB are charged as a Board to thoroughly review and follow
up on any discrepencies in the investigative report. It is my opinion that there were some retaliation on
the part of the police because I questioned some of the procedures being used and requested their
badge numbers to report them to their police chief.
There were a sequence of events in my opinion that led to the involvement of my employer at Four Oaks.
It is no doubt in my mind that there was an effort of the part of police officers to get additional charges
filed against me and there was an attempt of the part of some officers to solicit untrue statements from
students at the school about alcohol and guns. Students were interviewed without parent consent and
that is a violation of school board policy and parents did lodge a complaint at a public school board
meeting.
Because the PCRB can conduct their own investigation, it is amazing to me that this was not made clear
simply by asking a few questions that these events did happened. The most difficult thing for me to
believe is that in a court of law in our own community with our own judge, the evidence that was
presented in court was totally disregarded. I do not want to take much more of your time as I could
because I did take the time to review all of the evidence and could indeed share with you many more
confusing points. I also would like to say that at this time I am willing to suffer the disappointment that I
have felt at the the hands of some of my fello board members. However, I stand here before you tonight
with my dignity still in tact and a willingness to work even harder for equity and fairness for all and to
help make the PCRB Board one that citizen's in the Iowa City Community can depend on and trust.
Thank you for your time.

Captain Montalvan is a highly decorated Army Captain who served two tours in combat. Upon retirement, he had
suffered from both physical and psychological wounds. As he faced the challenges of rebuilding his life as a wounded
warrior, he was eventually paired with his service dog, Tuesday. Their story is one of hope, healing, and spiritual
restoration.
Captain Montalvan details both of their life experiences in his New York Times bestselling book:
"Until Tuesday, A Wounded Warrior and the Golden Retriever Who Saved Him"
This is a wonderful opportunity to meet Captain Montalvan and hear about his experiences.

Ms. Ward:
Thank you for your comments regarding the new display for City Council agenda, and concerns regarding displacement
of other materials. Also let me reassure you that the new look does not remove access to minutes and transcriptions.
The "Packet information" header relates to information for that meeting type i.e. looking for "formal" meetings you see
the supportive documents for that meeting.
The table shows "current" (upcoming) meetings. Once the meeting is finalized all information is archived, including the
minutes and transcriptions. The link to archived documents is below the table. The link may not be a visible as it should
be and we will work on that.
Our archived folders are permanent and include signed executed materials.
You can expect to see a few more changes as we proceed to improve the site and meet the needs of citizens. Again,
thank you for your comments and I hope you will keep us informed as you become more familiar with our site.

Subject: Display of City Council agendas & disappearance of minutes?
Hello City Council:
As part of my studies I have often accessed the City Council agendas /minutes page of the city's website. I
understand that there has been a change in the appearance of the agenda format. May I make a few comments?
• No where in the web navigation does the word "agenda" appear in relation to City Council meetings. I
kept looking for it and finally clicked on "packet information" as a last resort. The term "packet
information" doesn't have much significance to me as a citizen, but the term "agenda" is universally
recognized.
Once I did get to the new "Packet Information" page, I was really surprised to see that you no longer
have Minutes or Transcriptions posted. I spent quite a bit of time going over each tab and I never could
find navigation to the City Council meeting minutes or transcriptions. Is there an explanation for
this? If there is a different name for these documents now, could you have a staff member
advise? Have you stopped posting minutes and transcriptions for the City Council meetings? I did find
navigation to Agendas and Minutes for Boards and Commissions but not the Council.
I find the navigation to individual documents through the PDF bookmarking very awkward. Before the
links were directly on the agenda item itself on the regular page display (at least for a while, but the
links eventually disappeared) but now the reader is forced to scroll down a narrow column to find the
individual PDF files. I really don't see any advantage to the citizen in this new presentation. An
example of a simple and effective display of Council meeting agendas, minutes, and YouTube video is
on the Des Moines website at http://www.dmgov.orfz/Govemment/Ci!yCouncii/Pages/Meetings.aspx You will note
on the Des Moines page that the links are directly on the document and do not disappear but are permanent. The
agendas also load very quickly.
If there is an advantage to the new format of agendas I can certainly learn to live with it, but am really concerned about
the disappearance of minutes and transcriptions of City Council meetings. Could a staffmember advise me where I can
locate those?
Thanks for your time and public service. As one who believes in transparent government, I really do appreciate the
budget sessions being televised this year. I am learning a lot about city operations and their complexity. Thanks to the
AV Division for taping the sessions.

Subject: Some ideas about new moped parking regulations
Mr. Phillips,
Thank you for your e -mail regarding changes made to moped /scooter parking in downtown Iowa City. The
City code had defined a moped as "a two (2) wheeled vehicle having a saddle or seat for use of a rider, with an
engine having a displacement no greater than fifty (50) cubic centimeters and not capable of operating at a
speed in excess of twenty -five (25) miles per hour on level ground unassisted by human power." In trying to
enforce the regulations as they stood, you are correct, it is difficult to distinguish between mopeds and scooters
at times. Physical size of the vehicle does not equate to engine size and engine sizes were sometimes located in
obscure places.
The reasons that we made the change to disallow moped /scooter parking at bicycle racks was really two fold,
safety and availability of bicycle parking. From a safety standpoint, many of the desired parking locations for
mopeds coincided with high pedestrian traffic areas. We felt that the potential conflict created by motorized
vehicles and pedestrians needed addressed. In addition, due to the increasing popularity of these types of
vehicles, we had received ongoing complaints regarding the lack of bicycle parking due to mopeds /scooters
parking in designated bicycle areas.
By eliminating scooters from the equation, while vehicle numbers would have decreased, we would have still
had conflicts between mopeds and pedestrians while also continuing to have parking issues for bicycles. This is
why we elected to designate spaces for mopeds /scooters and require a permit for these locations.
We will continue to evaluate your suggestion of offering metered parking for those individuals that are only
occasional riders. In the meantime, City facilities currently allow for mopeds /scooters to park in metered stalls
as well as our parking facilities.
Thank you for your e -mail and feel free to contact me directly if you have any additional questions or wish to
discuss this issue further.

Subject: Some ideas about new moped parking regulations
Iowa City City Council,
I just learned of the new regulations that were passed in an attempt to control the problem of
mopeds parking in bicycle racks. I am sorry I didn't contact you when you were considering the
new rules, but I wasn't aware of it until I just read about it in the local news. I know it's too late
to weigh in since the new laws are in effect, but I just thought I could give you my opinions from
the viewpoint of a lifetime resident of Iowa City and a motorcycle, scooter, moped and bicycle
rider.
Under the existing definition of a moped, probably half of the scooters parking in bike racks in
recent years were not mopeds and were already breaking the law. Sometimes it is hard to tell the
difference. For instance, some scooters are sold as a moped and are factory limited to 25mph, but
can easily be converted to reach 40mph. There would be no way to tell the difference by looking
at it, so that would have to be addressed in some manner. Checking the registration could be one
way, because anything that exceeds 25mph has to be registered as a motorcycle. However in
many cases, I would see scooters with orange flags parked in bike racks with "125cc" or "150cc"
clearly advertised on the side of the scooter. Such scooters can reach speeds of 55mph, are NOT
mopeds, and could have been ticketed under the old law. I believe that if the existing laws were
enforced, many scooters would not be charading as "mopeds" and filling up bicycle racks.
Secondly, I take exception to your solution of selling $45 yearly permits. If I was a student or if I
worked downtown, it would be a pretty good deal I suppose. But I am neither. I drive my car in
the winter, ride my bicycle on many nice days, and occasionally ride my scooter downtown. It is
not worth $45 to me to park three or four times a year. So now, instead of taking up a spot in a
bike rack, I will be taking up a much larger parking space designed for a car.
I know it is beyond your jurisdiction, but the same problems exist on university property. The
permits are too expensive for an occasional rider, the bike racks have always been off limits, and
I have even been turned away from parking ramps because I was not in a car. Even though I was
willing to pay what a car would pay.
I think a well - rounded solution would be as follows:
1. Enforce existing rules about mopeds parking in bike racks. Ticket anything that is not a
moped.
2. Add a few more bicycle racks so that actual mopeds aren't crowding out the bicycles.
3. Sell permits as you have started doing for scooter or motorcycle riders that regularly park
downtown.
4. For people like myself that only occasionally need a place to park a scooter, replace a few
existing parking spaces and replace them with four times as many scooter spots, individually
metered at a reduced rate.
Again, I am sorry that I missed out on the original discussion, but hope that my input will be
useful for any tweaks or changes that might be made to the new law.
Thanks,

A MOPED (motor + pedals) is a cycle with pedals to power the vehicle in addition to or in place of an electric motor or
internal- combustion engine, and often but not always looks similar to a motor scooter, but without the floor between
the front wheel and the seat. The chief aspect of a mo -ped is that it has pedals that can be used by the feet to move it or
to start it... but a Moped is NOT the same as a motorbike.
A MOTOR SCOOTER is a cycle with a floor -board between the front wheel and the seat but has NO pedals with which to
power it with the feet.
The older ones did have to be push- started but I do not know of any current motor scooters that do not have electric
starters.
A MOTOR BIKE is a cycle either as a genuine bicyle with an attached small internal combustion engine or electric motor
that is not connected -to but is in contact with the front or rear wheel, or is a manufactured small cycle similar to but not
identical to a bicycle but has a much smaller frame than a MOTOR CYCLE in structure, but has the engine also attached
so that it is not directly connected to but is in contact with the wheel for power, therefore the engine does not provide
power through a chain - and - sprocket.
A MOTOR CYCLE is any cycle of any size (including "pocket rockets ") in which the internal combustion engine is mounted
to the frame and usually the engine is connected to the drive -wheel with a chain and sprocket, but some have been built
with drive -shafts rather than chains.
It really needs to be clarified because people are misusing the term "moped" to mean "motor scooter ". A motor scooter
is a motor vehicle, whereas depending upon the jurisdication and shape and construction, a mo -ped may or may not be
deemed as a motor vehicle. This is important because it is illegal to park motor vehicles on the sidewalk.

Attachments: melrosevendorappacket.pdf
Nathan — Attached is an application for Melrose Avenue vending on home football game days. Since vendors are only
allowed to locate along the south side of the Melrose Avenue frontage between the Iowa Interstate Railway right of way
and Melrose Circle, you will first need to find a property owner in this area who has space to rent to you on game days.
Once you have secured a location, the application can be submitted. We will start accepting applications for game day
vending approximately 2 months before the first 2012 home game. The fee for the permit last year was $75.00. At this
time there is no indication that the fee will change but it is subject to review. With the application and fee, you will also
need to submit a site plan of your location showing how you will be set up and proof of insurance which shows the City
of Iowa City as additional insured. If you have any questions, please contact me at 319 - 356 -5120.

Subject: Iowa City Clean Air Cities Resolution
Hello Mr Dobyns,
I have been volunteering with Center for Biological Diversity, working to protect the Clean Air Act, because I
care deeply about protecting our air and climate. The Center's new campaign, Clean Air Cities, is working with
cities to pass resolutions across the country in favor using the Clean Air Act to reach a maximum safe level of
350 parts per million carbon dioxide.
As you know, we must begin to cut greenhouse gas pollution now in order to prevent the worst effects of
climate change. And the Clean Air Act is our current best hope of reaching this goal.
The EPA has been under tremendous pressure not to use the Clean Air Act to reduce greenhouse gases,
(especially now that they have begun to do so, following a Supreme Court order) and the Clean Air Cities
resolutions both encourage the EPA and give them a base of support to point to as they move forward.
Please let me know if you will consider introducing a Clean Air Cities Resolution. A sample resolution is
attached, and for more information you can go to our webpage CleanAirCities.org.
Many thanks,
Ulla Nilsen

WHEREAS, the current level of CO2 in the atmosphere is approximately 392 parts per million3
(ppm); and
WHEREAS, one of the world's leading climate scientists, Dr. James Hansen, stated in 2008: "If

every year for some 300,000 deaths, 325 million people seriously affected, and economic losses
worldwide of U.S. $125 billion;5 and

consequences for people and wildlife6; in the United States alone:
• 2005 had the most hurricanes on record since 1851;
• blizzards plagued the Northeast during the winter of 2011;
• intense rainfall and snowmelt forced the Mississippi River to overflow its banks across the
Midwest and South in summer 2011;
• the unprecedented 2011 Texas drought lead the U.S. Department of Agriculture to declare
the entire state a natural disaster zone;
• heat waves scorched the Midwest and East in summer 2011, with many cities hitting

over 100 degrees; and

droughts, floods and changes in snowpack depth are disrupting water supplies;? and
WHEREAS, scientists have concluded that by 2100 as many as one in 10 species may be on the

jeopardizing ice - dependent animals so severely that Arctic summer sea ice is half the area and
thickness it was several decades ago;9 and
WHEREAS, according to Scientific American, sea level is rising faster along the U.S. East Coast
than it has for at least 2,000 years, and is accelerating in pace, threatening coastal wildlife and the
40 percent of the world's population that lives within 60 miles of the coast;10 and
WHEREAS, for four decades, the Clean Air Act has protected the air we breathe through a proven,
comprehensive, successful system of pollution control that saves lives and creates economic

despite major growth both in our economy and industrial production; and
WHEREAS, between 1970 and 1990, the six main pollutants covered by the Clean Air Act —

has the authority to regulate them;
WHEREAS, The city of prides itself on being a leader in the fight against climate change
and for clean air [insert steps your city has already taken such as developing a climate action plan,
signinq the Mayors' Climate Protection Agreement, reducing carbon emissions by X percent, etc.]
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that climate change is not an abstract problem for the
future or one that will only affect far - distant places but rather climate change is happening now, we
are causing it, and the longer we wait to act, the more we lose and the more difficult the problem
will be to solve; and we, the City Council, on behalf of the residents of , do hereby
urge the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Lisa P. Jackson, and President
Barack Obama to move swiftly to fully employ and enforce the Clean Air Act to do our part to

RECOMMENDATIONS TO RESTRICT THE PROLIFERATION OF
PAYDAY LENDING INSTITUTIONS IN IOWA CITY
January 24, 2012
Presented by Iowa City members of Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (CCI) and other
concerned Iowa City citizens
The Issue:
• Predatory lending practices do harm to local citizens, families, neighborhoods, and
community development.
• The average APR on a payday loan is over 400 %.
• Iowa code permits municipalities to regulate the time, place, and manner in which
payday lending occurs. This can be accomplished with land use and zoning policy.
• Des Moines, West Des Moines, Clive, and Ames have taken steps, using land use and
zoning policies, to limit the proliferation of payday lenders and related businesses within
their boundaries.
Recommendations:
• Immediately adopt a one year moratorium on zoning permits for new payday lenders,
pawn shops, and check - cashing businesses.
• Adopt a zoning ordinance barring the development of payday lenders, pawnshops, and
check - cashing businesses in neighborhood retail and neighborhood pedestrian
commercial districts.
• Adopt a zoning ordinance banning payday loan, pawn shop, and check - cashing
development within 5,000 feet of residential areas, churches, parks, child care facilities,
and schools.
• Adopt a zoning ordinance establishing a minimum separation distance of two miles
between payday lenders, pawn shops, and check - cashing businesses.
• Adopt restrictions on displays, signage, and window bars on pawn shops and payday
lenders.
