State of the City Address
Mayor Matthew J. Hayek
February 21, 2012
Good evening. It is my pleasure, along with my colleagues on the City Council, to present the
2012 State of the City Address. Before I begin, I'd like to recognize our newest council
members — Rick Dobyns, Michelle Payne and Jim Throgmorton — and thank them for their
commitment to serve Iowa City.
With a growing population and an economy slowly on the mend, we should be encouraged by
the opportunities before the city council and the community at large.
For almost half a decade, our country has suffered a poor economy and jobs outlook that are
finally showing some positive movement. Iowa City fared better than most communities given
current national unemployment of 8.3 %, state unemployment of 5.5 %, and local
unemployment of 4.3 %, and it is clear that we enjoy a competitive advantage in even a down
economy.
However, recent decisions at the state and federal levels have created financial uncertainty at
the local level and require us to be cautious about long term planning. Here in Iowa,
commercial property tax reform and the Supreme Court's ruling on housing cooperatives are
expected to have a significant impact on already- strained budgets. At the federal level, we
continue to see a reduction in funding for programs typically offered through the City.
Moreover, while our community has grown in terms of population size and geographic scope,
property tax values remain flat. The reality is the City will continue to rely on existing staff and
resources to carry out its functions. Our budget circumstances force us to limit expansions in
staffing and programing. In fact, we have made modest reductions in our operations, mostly
through attrition, to accommodate flat revenue streams.
Without a doubt, we are operating in a fragile economic environment with considerable risk on
the horizon. We must continue to tighten our belt and be responsible stewards of public
resources. And we must learn to operate in the so- called "new normal" economy, looking for
opportunities to partner with surrounding communities, organizations and the private sector,
and to streamline city functions to be as efficient as possible while maintaining appropriate
levels of service.
I would now like to focus on a few of the City's ongoing activities.
Public safety continues to be a top concern for both the council and the community. Not only
do fire and police services provide security for us all, they are investments in our future by
encouraging residential and commercial investment. In 2011, we opened the fourth fire
1
station. The total project construction cost was $3.2 million and was partially funded by a $2.2
million I -JOBS grant. Despite our budget constraints, we added nine new firefighters to ensure
full staffing for the fire station. The addition of this station and the commitment to staff it is an
investment in the life and property of our residents.
Contemporaneous with the new fire fighters, we recently added five new police officers and
opened a new police substation in Pepperwood Plaza. These measures have enhanced our
crime prevention and community outreach efforts.
The Police Department has embarked on a number of partnerships within the community.
Working with the public library, the new substation offers free computer access to the public.
Working with the school district, the department has promoted safety and security initiatives
such as competency training for officers and teachers. Working with the Partnership for
Alcohol Safety, the department (along with local officials, university leadership, and business
stakeholders) is making Iowa City a safer place for young people.
The new City Council recently concluded a strategic planning process intended to develop a
long -term vision for Iowa City. The process included a comprehensive survey of our citizens,
line staff, department heads, and members of the City Council. Together, we generated a list of
priorities that will help to guide the decisions of the City Council and staff.
Among those priorities are two in particular that I would like to mention: economic
development and neighborhood stabilization.
The last year in Iowa City has seen a renewed emphasis on economic development, with active
outreach to the business sector, numerous partnerships intended to grow the tax base, and a
concerted effort to meet the needs of existing business and attract new investment. Our
partners in this effort -- the University of Iowa, the Iowa City Area Development Group, the
Chamber of Commerce, and others — work with us to expand current industry, pursue new
opportunities, and encourage overall growth.
Downtown continues to be a central focus for economic development. Adjacent to downtown
are the University of Iowa and the newly established Riverfront Crossings area. Our studies
indicate that this new "downtown triangle" provides an incredible opportunity for economic
development. The area boasts the geography, infrastructure, population and culture needed to
foster the so- called "creative class" of educated and skilled workers who demand culture and
other amenities in addition to quality jobs. We consider Iowa City uniquely positioned to grow
this demographic, which has serious growth potential for the entire community.
Essential to this growth downtown is a live -work environment that we believe has real promise.
Creating a home for not only renters but owners must be a goal for our downtown. This helps
to foster an environment that harnesses the excitement of an academic town but is sensitive to
professionals and families. With recent policy changes such as the 21 ordinance and bar-
related zoning restrictions, we believe progress is being made to make downtown exciting and
attractive to all our citizens.
We are also excited about the Self- Supported Municipal Improvement District, recently created
for our central business area. This self- imposed tax will generate over $350,000 per year,
$100,000 of which will come from the University of Iowa. The funds will be used to support a
downtown organization whose mission is to promote downtown and support its businesses.
For obvious reasons, economic development extends well beyond the downtown area. The
Towncrest area and the corridors along Highways 1 and 6 will continue to see attention from
the City as we look to redevelop and grow our commercial base. The new industrial park along
420th Street and the Moss Green commercial park are two areas that will help us achieve
community goals by developing commercial, manufacturing, and industrial opportunities.
Something that remains a top priority for the City is the Amtrak passenger rail project from
Chicago to Iowa City and potentially Des Moines. This federal initiative will connect regions,
enhance sustainability, and create jobs. It will promote local development, including residential
growth and hospitality related businesses. A comparable city in Illinois recently reported more
than $200m in private sector investment around its passenger rail station, and we believe an
Iowa City station would have a similar development impact in the heart of Riverfront Crossings.
We will continue to make the case to the Iowa Legislature that state support for passenger rail
makes strong economic sense and will give Iowa a competitive advantage as passenger rail is
enhanced throughout the Midwest.
The other strategic goal I'd like to mention is neighborhood stabilization. We are committed to
growing the city, encouraging quality jobs, expanding our tax base and supporting our private
sector. We cannot, however, sacrifice our fragile and exceptional neighborhoods to do so.
Given this commitment, we have directed staff to coordinate a strategic approach to protect
and reinvest in one of our best assets: our neighborhoods. The UniverCity Neighborhood
Partnership Program, a successful joint venture between the University and the City, has
restored 26 homes, 18 of which have already been sold to owner occupiers, and will be
continued. Through our Neighborhood Services Coordinator, we support those who support
their own neighborhoods. We are making important capital investments in neighborhoods,
such as the streetscape enhancements along North Linn Street and the park upgrades at North
Market Square. And our traffic calming program has improved the balance between motor
vehicle and residential interests. These programs and investments, and others, will help
maintain a high quality of life in our neighborhoods.
It is also worth thinking about how we move around as a community. To that end, our
Transportation Services department completed a number of worthy projects in 2011.
First, we modernized two of our parking decks by upgrading elevator systems and installing LED
lights that save the City a million kilowatt hours each year, replaced three buses, and fully
3
integrated the Bongo bus monitoring system to provide real time updates on buses en route to
their stops. Our collaboration with the Coralville and University of Iowa transit systems has
resulted in better service for our citizens. As our transit system modernizes, we will stretch our
tax dollars to ensure the City is providing efficient, high quality public transportation for our
citizens.
A few words about flood relief. We continue to deal with the aftermath of the 2008 floods,
which caused over a billion dollars of damage to the City and the University. The City budget
includes a number of significant flood mitigation projects designed to better safeguard our
community in the future. Currently planned are ten major flood mitigation projects totaling
$121M. Thus far we have assembled over $66M in committed State and Federal grants as well
as $32M in local option sales tax to help cover the cost of these projects.
Recently we approved plans for the relocation of the North Wastewater Treatment Plant to a
more secure site out of the Iowa River flood plain and adjacent to the existing South
Wastewater Treatment Plant. At an estimated construction cost of $39.7 million, this will be the
most expensive public works project in our history. In addition to protecting our ability to treat
wastewater, the project also opens up an opportunity for us to develop a riverfront park on the
site of the old facility.
Other flood mitigation projects include the Gateway Initiative, which is the elevation of
Dubuque Street and the Park Road Bridge. This $32 million project will protect the principal
entrance to Iowa City, the University and Downtown employment centers. The elevated street
is being designed to accommodate all modes of transportation including pedestrian, bicycle,
and public transit.
We are evaluating several potential levee projects intended to protect areas of our community
impacted by the 2008 flood. We are wrapping up our flood buyout program, and by the end of
2012 we will have purchased and demolished some 95 flood -prone residences, which reduces
the future flood risk at those locations to zero. We replaced them with approximately 130 new
homes constructed through the State's Single - Family New Homes program and, in so doing,
added to the tax base.
While the floods were certainly devastating for those affected, the opportunity to rebuild parts
of Iowa City and the University is unprecedented. We hope to make the most of this disaster,
both for flood protection and for community and economic development.
Iowa City's vibrant culture and high quality of life are well recognized. From our designation as
the only UNESCO City of Literature in the western hemisphere, to our community calendar with
its constant artistic, athletic and academic programming, to the numerous "best of" lists we
make on a state and national level, Iowa City should be proud of its accomplishments. We are
recognized as a great place to have a career or start a small business. We are known for our
high rate of volunteerism. And we are a popular destination for people of all ages, from
students to retirees.
4
Contributing to this are the many opportunities provided by our parks and recreation
operation. The Iowa City Farmer's Market is starting its 40th season and has been named the
top farmers market in Iowa two years in a row.
Beginning this year, the Park and Recreation Department will add two new locations for special
community events. The Ned Ashton House on the Iowa River, built in 1947 and added to the
National Register of Historic Places in 2001, was purchased by the City as part of the flood
buyouts. With its commanding views of the river, this facility is sure to become a popular
location for weddings, receptions and other events.
At the other end of town, the Terry Trueblood Recreation Area Lodge will open in the spring of
2013. This is a brand new facility in the City's new 200 -acre park of the same name. Situated
adjacent to the park's lake and offering a capacity of 150 people, the lodge will be used for City
functions and event rentals. We believe the park will become a popular recreational venue for
outdoor enthusiasts of all types.
Bicycle and pedestrian trails are important to our community, and last year two major new
trails were completed and added to our growing regional trail system. The North Dodge
pedestrian bridge was a 100% federally funded stimulus project and connects the significant
employment centers near the Dodge Street /Interstate 80 interchange to the remainder of our
sidewalk and trail network. The Iowa River Trail extension from Napoleon Park to Terry
Trueblood Recreation Area builds on a continuous trail network running adjacent to the Iowa
River. These and other trail projects throughout the community build on our sustainability and
complement a growing list of outdoor amenities.
With respect to environmental progress, we continue to enhance our recycling operations and
are working to boost recycling among our citizens. We recently finished construction of the
new East Side Recycling center and it is scheduled to open soon. This will be a one -stop
location for the many recycling and environmental programs offered by the city. Highlights
include an environmental education center, the Habitat for Humanity Restore, the Friends of
Historic Preservation Salvage Barn, the Furniture Project, a recycling location for oil and
electronic waste, storm water management features and a residential wind turbine.
Lastly, a word about cooperation. As we have learned from examples like transit, land use
planning and emergency communications, intergovernmental partnerships often make a lot of
sense. Shared goals, investments, and costs ensure that taxpayer dollars are maximized and
often mean better services for communities who participate.
By speaking as a region, and more importantly by acting as a region, we can do more to
encourage economic development and enhance quality of life in the corridor. But regionalism
requires more than lip service, and it is undermined when local governments act in parochial
fashion. From our transparent economic development policies to our ongoing push for shared
solutions to shared problems, Iowa City hopes to lead by example. At the end of the day, we
5
believe Johnson County will become a true region when its local governments act in ways that
build trust, support open communication and pursue common goals.
From our neighborhoods to our businesses to our schools to our cultural venues, Iowa City is a
special community. We continue to face challenges to our budget and our resources. But
thanks to deliberate planning and conservative forecasting, we will ride out the economic storm
and position ourselves for the future. We are blessed to have a safe, growing and vibrant
community. On behalf of the City Council and City staff, I thank the community for its
involvement in these important issues.
Thank you.

Dear council members,
Thank -you to all members of the Iowa City city council for listening to us at the meetings concerning the
rezoning at 911 N. Governor St. Never before have I lived in a true neighborhood; what we call
Deweyville is a special, delicate place. I appreciate the votes overturning the rezoning for townhouses so
close by. I also look forward to working with the council on developments that would compliment the area
around 911 N. Governor and adjacent Happy Hollow Park.
Once again, thank -you for your time and consideration.

Subject: Free Bus Ticket Program
Attachments: image001.jpg
To the Iowa City City Council,
5g(4)
At the Domestic Violence Intervention Program, we use the tickets we receive through the free bus ticket
program to support women and children staying in our shelter. These bus tickets are used by residents to help
transport individuals and families to important appointments to receive medical or legal advocacy. The bus
tickets also provide women with an avenue for getting out into the city to look for housing availability and meet
with landlords about safe locations for the woman and her family to live. In the short term, these bus tickets
also help women get to and from work until their next pay check, and allows women traveling with small
children to move around Iowa City in the safety of the public bus system.
Without the free bus ticket program, the majority of our residents would struggle to work, pick up their children
from school, and access important health care appointments. The free bus ticket program allows residents to
access many different housing opportunities and the option to work in a part of Iowa City that is safe and secure
for them and for their children. Being able to access a few free bus tickets helps take some of the strain off of
women who are working to start their lives anew. We never have an excess of tickets, and often run out even
before the end of each month. It is a positive support for our residents, and communicates to them that not only
DVIP but also the City of Iowa City is supporting their efforts at self - sufficiency.
Thank you,

Hello Council.
I recall reading in local newspapers around the holidays about a donation drive in memory of Linda Severson,
social worker and city employee. I wanted to include in a newsletter what the results of that charity drive
were. I believe it was to be a challenge between local governmental agencies. I haven't read any followup
articles so I thought I would contact you for the results. I'd like to include them in a newsletter. A photograph
of the conveying of the trophy would be useful as well if available. I don't know what staff member is in charge
of the contest, so I thought I would direct it to the Council and your staff can distribute to the appropriate
person. '
Thanks for your time.
Amy Butler
Iowa City
In November the Johnson County governments joined together to honor Linda Severson, former
human services coordinator for the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) of Johnson County,
with the Severson Holiday Charity Challenge.
Severson served the Metropolitan Planning Organization of Johnson County from 1994 until her
death this past August, and for years coordinated the city of Iowa City's holiday donation drive. The
Severson Holiday Charity Challenge was proposed as a way to continue that effort while including
the other local governments she served.
The Challenge allowed communities to select the individual charity. Tally forms were provided to
each participating entity with basic guidelines for tallying donations per full -time employee.
Participating entities were responsible for returning the tally sheets, information on the donated items,
and the respective charity.
The Challenge was widely accepted and the results announced at the MPO January meeting held
January 25. The City of Coralville will receive the first "Severson Cup," which will serve as a
travelling trophy each year. Herteen & Stocker Jewelers co -owner and Iowa City Council Member
Terry Dickens agreed to have the cup engraved and the formal presentation is scheduled for the
March MPO meeting. Final tally amounts and charities include:
City of Coralville - 7.37 items per employee - Coralville Ecumenical Food Pantry
City of North Liberty — 6.83 items per employee - North Liberty Family Resource Centers
Johnson County — 1.99 items per employee - Cassie's Mittens and Crisis Center
City of Iowa City — 1.81 items per employee - Joan Buxton School Children's Aid Fund
University Heights also participated by donating items to the Crisis Center and Hope Lodge but did
not wish to be included in the tally results.
MPO and City staff thanks everyone for their participation and anticipate an even greater
participation next year.

Ms. Brunson,
I would appreciate if you would distribute this email to the members of the State Board of Regents.
Thank you,

Melrose Neighborhood Representative
The Melrose Neighborhood Association's Executive Committee members were shocked to discover a copy of the
attached document entitled: University of Iowa Health Care Presentation to The Board of Regents, State of Iowa February
6 -7, 2012. A member of the Executive Committee noticed the document. It was not provided to us by the UI.
In this document we found that, on two graphics on pages 35 and 56, there are plans for at least three large institutional
buildings placed along Melrose Avenue starting at 629 Melrose and proceeding westwards. Two of these buildings are
labeled 'Medical Campus'. The western-most 'Medical Campus' building stretches over at least a majority of the existing
properties of 801, 805, 807, 811, 817, and 821 Melrose Avenue. Only one of these, 807, is currently owned by the UI, yet
the UI has repeatedly assured us that it has no plans to purchase further properties in our Neighborhood.
The eastern- most'Medical Campus' building stretches over the existing properties of 629, 701, 707, 711, 727 Melrose
Avenue, which are all within the Melrose Historic District as part of the National Register of Historic Places. Neither 629
nor 727 are owned by the UI, and 629 dates from 1870 and was listed, separately on its own merit, on the National
Register of Historic Places.
This is a very serious matter.
We are told that one explanation, given by a UI official, is that there is no intent by the UIHC to place or build a building as
shown and that the rendering was created by one of the consultant planners the UIHC have employed and it is a very
general and preliminary graphic showing the Childrens' Hospital site and the sun angles to that site. Also, that the
consultant artist's representation of those boxes south of Melrose is a mistake and there is no intent to suggest a project
or future buildings as shown.
However, it seems unlikely to us that a consultant planner would have included these'Medical Campus' buildings on
his /her own, without them being suggested by UIHC officials.
This matter underlines the absolute need for the UI, the City and the Neighborhood to meet to discuss the preservation of
the Melrose Neighborhood and now we request that meeting.
Sincerely,
Jean Walker
Melrose Neighborhood Representative

Signifying its historic importance, most of the Melrose Neighborhood is on the National Register of Historic Places, and
the City has noted that efforts should be made to preserve it.
However, less than a week before the topic was to be brought to the Board of Regents, The University of Iowa told the
Neighborhood that it was purchasing two Neighborhood houses and demolishing eight to make a temporary parking lot for
up to 300 cars at Melrose Place (though the entrance appears problematic and those 300 cars could be disruptive to
Melrose Avenue traffic). No time was allowed to find alternative solutions.
The Regents approved the UI's purchase of the houses, even though one property is in the Neighborhood's National
Historic District and includes the Neighborhood's last (100 - year -old) barn. The UI is proceeding with its plans, choosing a
consultant for the project even though it has not yet obtained City approval for the necessary vacation of Melrose Place.
Since the 1920s, the UI's modus operandi has been to buy neighborhood homes and use them temporarily before
demolishing them to build a large institutional building or parking lot. Thus many historic subdivisions in the area adjacent
to the Neighborhood, dating back to the 1920s and earlier, have been erased by the UI.
The Melrose Neighborhood contains the last historic houses in this area - houses occupied by people who chose (and still
choose) to live there to walk to work at the UI. So the Neighborhood's history is a shared history with the UI, and for the
UI to destroy the Neighborhood is for it to destroy its own (as well as the City's) heritage.
In spite of that, and even though it has said it is in favor of historic preservation and has given assurances that it does not
intend to purchase any further Neighborhood properties, the UI has continued to purchase properties.
Once the UI purchases these properties, it can destroy them, and the City cannot preserve them. Also, these properties
go off the tax rolls, causing a deficit in funds for the City.
Due to its historic importance, the Melrose Neighborhood should be off the table as regards further acquisition /destruction
by the UI, which should make its future plans with that in mind. Once an area is cleared, its historic properties are lost
forever.
To ensure this Neighborhood is preserved, the City needs to uphold its stated commitment to the Neighborhood's
preservation and make a clear statement to that effect directly to the UI, perhaps stating that the UI should not purchase
any further properties east of Melrose Place. Similar statements by the Historic Preservation Commission should also be
made.
The UI needs to uphold its commitment to historic preservation (and preservation of its own history) and look elsewhere
than the historic Melrose Neighborhood for future expansion and not play Monopoly in our Historic District. This is not an
industrial wasteland. This is where we live - our architecturally - historic houses, our homes, our history and our
heritage. The playing field is very unequal if UI officials are planning for the destruction of our very homes, especially
without our timely input or consideration of less- destructive alternatives. If the UI omitted the possibility of using the
historic Melrose Neighborhood for destruction /development, it should be able, with the help of the considerable
brainpower of the university, to come up with innovative and very satisfactory alternatives.
If the UI keeps picking away at the Neighborhood, it will disappear like all the other little neighborhoods in the area already
erased by the UI. This is the last neighborhood of this historic area.

nor 727 are owned by the UI, and 629 dates from 1870 and was listed, separately on its own merit, on the National
Register of Historic Places.
This is a very serious matter.
We are told that one explanation, given by a UI official, is that there is no intent by the UIHC to place or build a building as
shown and that the rendering was created by one of the consultant planners the UIHC have employed and it is a very
general and preliminary graphic showing the Childrens' Hospital site and the sun angles to that site. Also, that the
consultant artist's representation of those boxes south of Melrose is a mistake and there is no intent to suggest a project
or future buildings as shown.
However, it seems unlikely to us that a consultant planner would have included these 'Medical Campus' buildings on
his /her own, without them being suggested by UIHC officials.
This matter underlines the absolute need for the UI, the City and the Neighborhood to meet to discuss the preservation of
the Melrose Neighborhood and now we request that meeting.
Sincerely,
Jean Walker
Melrose Neighborhood Representative

Subject: URGENT: Re: Inquiry #114 (12) URGENT: Item for the members of the Board of Regents at the Dec. 8 meeting
Ms. Brunson,
Thank you for your response to my email.
I would appreciate if you would forward this email to the members of the State Board of Regents.
Please note: I did not choose the title for my Guest Opinion in The Gazette February 5.
In answer to some of your comments:
1. Although 711 Melrose Avenue and 1 Melrose Place are currently rental properties and not owner - occupied, they are
not of low value to the Melrose Neighborhood. Your assumption in this regard is incorrect. Your email appears to imply
that, just because they are rentals, it is okay to tear them down. This sentiment flies in the face of preserving both the
integrity of the Neighborhood and the individual houses which are used as people's residences. Tearing them down
means the rich history of people living in the Neighborhood is destroyed, along with the houses.
2. Although the properties to be razed on Melrose Place are not within the defined boundaries of the Melrose Historic
District, the property at 711 Melrose Avenue certainly is, as you note. You omitted to state that historic 711 Melrose will
be very much affected by this project. The property includes a 100 - year -old barn - the last in the Neighborhood - and
preliminary plans for the parking lot show that the barn has been removed. In addition, preliminary plans are to have
the exit for the parking lot along the house's driveway, which is in extremely close proximity to the house.
3. Though the most recent owners parked 85 cars at the location, that was a recent development - the previous owners
did not.
4. It should be noted that although 711 Melrose had been used for daily use parking in the recent past (albeit on a
much smaller scale than that proposed by the UI), the City had begun to change that by enforcing its zoning ordinances
- specifically, the prohibition of commercial (daily use) parking. The City had already stopped such a project at 817
Melrose Avenue and had begun to turn its attention to other offenders, such as 711 Melrose. So, the argument that
past commercial parking at 711 is a reason to continue the practice (at a much higher level) is invalid.
5. Having 250 -300 cars parked in that area is a far cry from the recent parking of 85 cars there. The UI parking project
does not, as a UI official has stated, simply formalize that parking.
Such a large increase in volume would affect (in addition to the historic house at 711 Melrose):
a). Traffic on Melrose Avenue.
b). Properties adjacent to the parking lot.
c). The integrity of the Neighborhood.
d). Property values in the Neighborhood.
e). The vegetation in the Neighborhood. Converting such a large area to a hard surface lot would also cause run -off
problems.
6. Though the UI has generously offered to have members of the Neighborhood participate in the planning of the
parking lot, such an offer does not make up for the destruction of part of our Neighborhood.
7. The UI needs to show its stated commitment to being a good neighbor to the Melrose Neighborhood by preserving it
not destroying it. In addition to not being a good neighbor in that regard, the UI in many instances has not been a good
steward of its properties and land in the Melrose Neighborhood, unless, in many cases, repeatedly exhorted to do so by
members of the Neighborhood.
8. Though we applaud the UI for improving its Children's Hospital, we think it should be possible, using the brainpower
of the UI, to achieve this without destroying our Neighborhood.
Thank you,
Jean Walker

Subject: RE: Inquiry #114 (12) URGENT: Item for the members of the Board of Regents at the Dec. 8 meeting
Ms. Walker:
Thank you for your letter stating your concern regarding the University's plans for a surface parking lot in the
Melrose neighborhood. The Board of Regents did approve the purchase of 711 Melrose Avenue and 1 Melrose
place at its meeting on December 8, along with permission to raze the property at 1 Melrose Place and seven
other University owned properties on Melrose Place. The Board also approved the University's request for
permission to plan a surface parking lot at this location.
Both 711 Melrose Avenue and 1 Melrose Place are currently rental properties, as are the seven other University
owned buildings. No owner - occupied structures are involved with this project. The properties to be razed on
Melrose Place are not within the defined boundaries of the Melrose Historic District. The property at 711
Melrose Avenue is within the Historic District and is not being razed to accommodate this project.
The current owners of 711 Melrose park 85 cars daily at this location on barren land, and this area has been
utilized for parking for many years perhaps since the construction of Iowa/Kinnick Stadium. The University's
plan is to expand this parking area and design a 250 -300 car hard surface parking lot. The University will go
through a formal consultant selection process to choose a firm to design a suitable lot which includes
appropriate landscaping and lighting to shield and buffer the adjoining neighborhood to the highest degree
possible. The University has also committed to having an adjoining Melrose Circle property owner on the
design professional selection committee and on the design working committee. Additionally, the University has
indicated, at appropriate stages of design, other neighborhood members will be included in the review of the
design.
The University is committed to being good neighbors and stewards of its land and resources. Moving forward
with this project is critical to the development of the new University of Iowa Children's Hospital, which is
currently in the design stage.

Subject: Inquiry #114 (12) URGENT: Item for the members of the Board of Regents at the Dec. 8 meeting
Dear Ms. Bruns,
I would appreciate if you could bring this attached letter to the attention of the members of the Board of Regents for the Dec. 8
meeting. l apologize for the tardiness of this letter, but as described in the letter, we were not given time to respond in a timely
manner.
Thank you,

Iowa City
Honorable Council,
599)
It has been brought to the attention of the University of Iowa Student Government, by UI i
Student Legal Services, that city code section 8 -5 -6 (Indecent Exposure & Conduct) currently
creates undue and unforeseen consequences for those who have been charged with urinating
in public.
Greg Bal, Supervising Attorney for UI Student Legal Services attests to numerous incidents
in which SLS has been contacted by prospective employers of UI graduates to help clarify a
student's criminal record as it pertains to section 8 -5 -6. Mr. Bal believes that as section 8 -5 -6
currently stands, it is misleading, prejudicial and has the potential to erroneously mislabel
those who have been charged with public urination as sexual offenders.
Upon reviewing city code 8 -5 -6, it is the view of the Executive Board of UISG that city code
section 8 -5 -6 unjustly and inappropriately agglomerates those who have been charged with
committing sexual offenses with those who have been charged with urinating in public. As
you can see, section 8 -5-6 is divided into three subsections.
The first two subsections pertain to carrying out sexually offensive or lewd acts. These acts
are defined by the perpetrator's intent to carry out such acts in order to consciously fulfill a
sexual desire. The third subsection or section 8 -5 -6 (c) simply pertains to making the
unfortunate decision to urinate in what is deemed a public place.
The lack of clear distinction between these two offenses has the potential to create unfair
misconceptions about those who are charged with violating city code 8 -5 -6 and as a result, UI
graduates who have been charged with urinating in public may unfairly be denied admittance
to graduate programs or be dismissed of consideration for employment under the
misconception that they have committed sexually offensive acts.
Although it is the view of this Executive Board that public urination should not be tolerated,
amending the city code in order to create a clearer interpretation of this ordinance seems just
and well within reason. What is being proposed will in no way minimize current fines or
penalties, but serves to eliminate any unnecessary consequences of the current ordinance.
Proposed Solution
As a member of the UISG Executive Board, and as Liaison to the City Council, I recommend
the following amendment to city code section 8 -5 -6 in order to better distinguish between
indecent exposure and indecent conduct and to eliminate undue consequences of this
ordinance. The proposed action is to simply detach these two violations into separate sections
within Title 8, Chapter 5 of the city ordinance. The proposed action would resemble the
following:
8 -5 -6: INDECENT CONDUCT:
It shall be unlawful for any person to urinate or defecate in or upon any street, alley,
public place or in any place open to public view, provided this subsection shall not
apply to restrooms or public facilities designated for such purpose. (1978 Code §24-
114)
8 -5 -7: INDECENT EXPOSURE:
A. It shall be unlawful for a person to allow or permit the exposure of the genitals,
buttocks, female breasts or pubes of such person to another not the person's spouse
or partner or to commit a sex act in the presence or view of another person except a
spouse or partner, if.- (1978 Code §24 -114, amd. 1994 Code)
1. The person does so to arouse or satisfy the sexual desire of either of them; and
2. The person knows or reasonably should know that the act is offensive to the
viewer.
B. "Sex act" means any act, actual or simulated, which involves contact with human
or animal genitalia or the anus. This would include, but not be limited to, such acts as
masturbation or sexual intercourse.
Summary
Currently, city code section 8 -5 -6 encompasses both acts of indecent exposure and indecent
conduct. The lack of clear distinction between these two offenses has the potential to create
unfair misconceptions about those who are charged with violating city code 8 -5 -6. I have
proposed a very simple solution to the problem outline above. Separating these two offenses
into two distinct sections within Title 8 of the city code will eliminate the unforeseen
consequences aforementioned in this proposal.
Sincerely, h..- —

regarding the dumping of the toxic waste products of fluoride into our public waters here in Iowa

Clint,
As I shared earlier, the City Council discussed water fluoridation in detail at a meeting in April of
2010. At that meeting they discussed the issues that you raise, but remain satisfied with our current
fluoridation practice. The City Council does not have this topic scheduled again on any upcoming
meeting agendas. However, as with any topic, you are welcome to e-mail the City Council directly or
address them at the public discussion portion of their meetings. A link to the City Council is

As a professional in the field of water treatment, I have the responsibility to provide safe potable
water for the public health of Iowa City. There are continuous inquiries and changes to water quality
standards and contaminant monitoring that I must have knowledge about. We are fortunate in Iowa
City to have a modern, state of the art treatment plant and good water resources. We adhere to the
standards and guidelines of the industry to monitor and maintain the treatment process under very
exact criteria. I have committed to the City Council and the citizens of Iowa City to treat the drinking
water to the exact standards set by our regulations and will continue to do so.
Sincerely,
Ed Moreno

On behalf of the citizens of Iowa City signing the attached petition I would like to have this petition be part of

Subject: Long -Term Prosperity Task Force
We the undersigned groups and individuals want to thank you for the many steps you have been taking
recently to promote the long -term prosperity and sustainability of Iowa City and our greater
metropolitan area. Notable examples include buying out properties located in the floodplain, preparing
to relocate the North Sewerage Treatment Plant, and incorporating sustainability into the Riverfront
Crossing plan and revisions of the Comprehensive Plan.
We encourage you to do more.
We believe that residents of Iowa City will be much better off in the future if we plan intelligently and
boldly to create an environment that fosters human and natural health, social justice, and true
prosperity. We further believe that these goals can be achieved best through full employment and
sustainable economic development, serious conservation, careful zoning, invigoration of neighborhoods,
promotion of local food production, and significant reductions of the carbon footprint of our
community.
With this in mind, we strongly encourage you to take the following three actions:
1) Ensure that future versions of the city budget, the three -year financial plan, and capital
improvements program explicitly address how they will promote the long -term prosperity and
sustainability of the city and surrounding region;
2) Urge the MPO of Johnson County to indicate explicitly how the Long Range Transportation Plan
will contribute to the region's long -term prosperity and sustainability; and
3) Appoint a Long -Term Prosperity Task Force consisting of diverse stakeholders, and charge that
Task Force with devising a set of sustainability indicators and a process by which the city's status
with regard to those indicators can be reported to the public annually and be used to help shape
the city's budgets and plans.

Subject: Recommendation To Reject Renewal Of College Green Park Permit
This correspondence will become a public record.
Mr. Libris Fidelis, Democracy defender
Post Office Box 2446

Subject: Recommendation To Reject Renewal Of College Green Park Permit
As a former member of Occupy Iowa City who quit the group for my third time this wedensady, it is sad for me to
address the Iowa City Council for the purpose of saving the city from much heartache and angst over the inherent
conspiracies within the infiltrated and internally- sabotaged Occupy Iowa City organization.
Occupy Iowa City began as a legitimate grass -roots anti - tyranny organization with several hundred honestly- dedicated
pro- Democracy advocates. What has happened now is that Occupy Iowa City has been infiltrated, subverted, and
sabotaged by a contingent clique of anarchy -prone and anarchy- devoted trouble- makers, whose only mission is to
confront The Establishment for the purpose of starting trouble that they will propagandistically turn - around to be an
attack against The Establishment. Since I have been involved in unions and advocacy groups since the 1960s, I recognize
this infiltration and take -over as standard in sabotaging grass -roots Democracy- advocating movements.
Let me preface my recommendation to not renew the permit with a direct statement that Steven Hoffelt who wrote the
Permit application has the utmost in integrity and intent for the purpose of the permit, and that there are a number of
very dedicated and honest Occupiers within OIC who are truthful and progressive in the goals that Occupy Wall Street
has promoted.
However, it is the clique mafia group within OIC who controls the General Assembly of Occupy Iowa City, and who
makes the decisions (and who verbaly attacks and runs people like me out of OIC) that is the parasite within OIC, and it
is they who will cause all of the future troubles once the permit might be approved.
This leaves a crucial problem with the homeless within College Green Park.
The City placed a crucially unwarranted straight - jacket on Occupy Iowa City in the way that OIC was prohibited from
effecting quality control within the College Green Park occupy. OIC should not, of course, ever have ENFORCEMENT
capability in a direct control over behavior within the Park, however, the City should have made clear that the City
would back up OIC in maintaining quality control with issues that OIC might bring up to the City, such as the trouble-
maker contingent within the homeless population once the "river homeless people" discovered that OIC was welcoming
the homeless people into their Occupy. And the reason Occupy Iowa City welcomed the homeless within general terms
was because the Wall Street tyranny is responsible in large part -- but only in large part, not totaly -- for the demise of
the working class through technological and economic and financial oppression of the society that made The
Establishment rich in the first place.
This crucial problem is that Iowa City is now going to need to rescue the homeless within College Green Park if and -- I
hope -- when the permit is disallowed. As a member of Johnson County Local Homeless Coordinating Board, I
introduced a contingent from OIC this last thursday to speak to the JCLHC Board in behalf of OIC's effort that I started to
obtain a "Wet Shelter" for Johnson County, to serve the unmet needs of those alcohol and /or drug dependent homeless
citizens occupying College Green Park AND for all of the homeless alcohol and /or drug dependent homeless and
impoverished citizens within our county and state, to serve as a model for county - regional "Wet Shelters" that would be
inspired by OIC. That effort, sadly, when I was run out of OIC last night through coordinated verbal personal attack on
me, has now ended. And for that reason, without any vengeful or vindictive attitude on my part, I recommend rejecting
the permit due to there being the need for the present Occupy Iowa City to dissolve and disperse, to leave the legitimate
Occupiers the task of forming a progressive effort within our community that has integrity, honesty, and progressive
activism as their core value, which is presently missing in Occupy Iowa City but which was existent back in October 2011
when Occupy Iowa City began.
I therefore recommend a rejection of the Permit renewal even though Steven Hoffelt has worked so strenuously to
effect the permit renewal for legitimate reasons, but with the mafia - clique now controlling Occupy Iowa City, that
genuine purpose just will never be effected.

RE: THANKS
Dear City of Iowa City, City Council, and staff,
We of the Corridor Black Business Committee have applied for funding for community
events for FY2013, and even though not officially on the list to give presentation
yesterday, were granted permission to do so.
Even if funds are not granted for the events of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, African
American History Month, and Congo Independence Day, we still would like to extend
our thanks to you all for your consideration and your time in this matter. We are very
confident that if given the chance, we can show the city of Iowa City, and the state of
Iowa that Iowa City is a wonderful place to visit, shop, and enjoy great community
events. At the same time, it will be a great opportunity to demonstrate positive activities
for local youth to get involved in. This is why we are seeking a leadership role in the
events to encourage, empower and inspire the minds of our Black youth, as well as
people of all other ethnicities. Our only regret is that we did not make contact with the
local blues and jazz musician and the local DJ until after the applications were submitted
and did not include the costs in our applications. And the Englert Theatre did reply later,
and their costs are $400.00 per movie to be shown according to Mr. Andre Perry. And
that cost was not known before the time of application either. Due to an emergency of
the committee member KenStar Entertainment just prior to the deadline, Waeusi
Publishing Company had to submit the applications on behalf of the committee. This led
to the actual committee proposed holiday events of Juneteenth National Freedom Day
and Kwanzaa being unsubmitted due to time restraints. This is something we truly regret.
We look forward to providing community events to the city of Iowa City, and bringing an
atmosphere of excellence here.
Sincerely,
CORRIDOR BLACK BUSINESS COMMITTEE

Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear members of the Iowa City Council,
The Board of Supervisors understands that you will be discussing the plans of the new animal
shelter as well as the status of discussions with the neighboring jurisdictions about our possible
participation in the new shelter. Unfortunately, the respective bodies are discussing this matter
during regular business meetings without representatives of the other parties present. The Board
is concerned that you will be moving forward without having input from the other entities.
We are well aware of the fact that the former animal shelter was inadequate to serve the needs of
our area. We also understand that the charges that we were paying in the past were insufficient
to cover the costs of the animals being sheltered. The current contract provides that the County
will pay $100 for each animal sheltered that is attributable to the unincorporated areas of
Johnson County. Over a year ago, we were told that a new contract was going to be submitted
for our consideration but nothing was ever received.
The former animal shelter was flooded in June, 2008. Since that time, the City has worked with
FEMA, has chosen a location, developed a space analysis and estimated the cost for a new
16,000 square foot structure. To our knowledge, area jurisdictions were not asked to participate
in the process.
Last fall Chief Hargadine sent a letter to Sheriff Pulkrabek outlining the City's proposal that
jurisdictions wishing to utilize the shelter's services be required to pay a proportionate share of
the construction costs of the new shelter as well as a proportionate share of the annual costs of
operation. For the County, the proposal is a contribution of $511,903 toward construction and an
annual operational contribution of $132,077.
On October 27, 2011, the Board sent a response to Chief Hargadine and copied in the city
managers /clerks of all involved jurisdictions. The Board's position was that it would not agree
to the terms of the Chief's proposal but we were willing to renegotiate the existing contract to
more adequately compensate the City for the Animal Shelter's services.
There was no response to our letter. Instead, a presentation was made at the MPOJC meeting on
January 25, 2012 which set out the same proposal as that provided in Chief Hargadine's letter.
Entities were told that it was offered on a "take it or leave it" basis.

If there is, in fact, no room for negotiation, then the County is not interested in participating and
the following information is irrelevant. If, however, the Council is inclined to be more flexible,
the Board of Supervisors would like to make sure the Council is aware of the following points:
1. The Board has long- standing concerns regarding the management of the shelter and, in
particular, the record keeping regarding County animals. Billing has been sporadic and
records have been inadequate. Some invoices have been for services rendered over a
year before and provide no means of verification that the animal should be billed to the
County. While Director Goodman has assured us that steps are being taken to address
these concerns, the records provided to date have not been sufficient to allay these
concerns. We will want more convincing evidence that operational issues have been
addressed.
2. The Friends of the Animal Shelter Foundation has committed to raising funds that would
be used toward the construction of the new shelter. Local jurisdictions have been assured
that those contributions will lower the investments that they are being asked to commit.
The Board feels that this strategy is flawed and will not result in a successful capital
campaign. We anticipate that local donors will not feel inclined to donate if area
governments have already committed to covering the full cost of construction. Rather,
we believe it would be a wiser use of public funds, and a more successful fundraising
strategy, to commit to a scaled back shelter and allow donors to contribute toward some
of the "extras ", such as the training room or larger animal spaces, etc. If a contribution to
capital is included in an agreement with the City, it would have to be substantially lower
than the amount previously requested.
3. The costs of animal sheltering services are now taxed for in the County's rural fund. This
tax is only paid by rural residents. The Board believes that this is the correct approach so
that city residents are not double -taxed for the same service. However, it also means that
there are approximately 16,000 taxpayers paying the full cost of the County's portion of
the service. The proposed figure for the County's contribution to operational costs alone,
not including over half a million dollars for capital costs, represents a 43% increase in
what the County has been budgeting for the last several years for animal services. The
Board would want to find a way to structure an agreement so that increases would be
phased in over a period of time.
It is unfortunate that this matter has progressed to the point where the City is facing deadlines
and has to ask neighboring jurisdiction to make hasty fiscal decisions. Since the City has
proceeded without County input to this point, the Board would prefer to see the City build its
shelter with the understanding that there is a potential for additional revenue from other
jurisdictions. The respective entities can then negotiate the cost for services rendered.
In order to comply with the deadline set by the City, the Board has requested a meeting with
representatives authorized to negotiate on the City's behalf. We look forward to receiving a
response to this request.
Yours truly,
&J °
