New Business
Discussion of CDBG & HOME Investment Policies & Council Earmarks
See enclosed memo.
Discussion of Design Standards for Federally Assisted Housing Projects
In each CDBG/HOME housing agreement there is a requirement that the City provide written
approval of the project's architectural design before obtaining a building permit. City staff
reviews each site plan; however, there are no design standards to reference in case any
problems arise. City staff encourages the commission to adopt design guidelines for single
family and duplex housing. The zoning code has design standards for multi-family housing, but
does not address single family homes. The purpose of the guidelines is to foster a positive
public perception of affordable housing by promoting homes that complement surrounding
single family housing styles, ensures a quality design that will contribute to the neighborhood
over time and may lessen neighborhood resistance to new housing projects or what is
commonly referred to as NIMBYism. If interested in pursuing, city staff would draft guidelines for
review and approval by HCDC to submit to Council for consideration for FY08 housing projects.
Old Business
Amendment to HCDC Bylaws and Application Form
Last month the commission discussed the membership preferences as the bylaws state that,
when possible, persons with construction and finance expertise and one person who receives
rental assistance shall be appointed to HCDC. The application also requests applicants to
identify if they are a senior citizen, person of color, low income, disabled, receive rental
assistance or a member of the Local Homeless Coordinating Board. At this meeting the
commission may decide and vote to amend the bylaws.

MEMORANDUM
Date: August 9, 2006
To: HCDC Members
From: Community Development Staff
Re: CDBG and HOME Policy Review
As you know, we have been reviewing the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Funds (HOME) set-asides and Council
earmarks and also the CDBG and HOME investment policies. We would like to
discuss the following items at your August 15 meeting.
Currently, the following have funds automatically set-aside prior to the allocation
of CDBG and HOME funds to the eligible applicants.
Administration of CDBG and HOME funds:
Up to 200/0 of the total CDBG
allocation and up to 10% of the
total HOME allocation.
Aid to Agencies:
$105,000 of the total CDBG
allocation.
Economic Development:
9% of the total combined CDBG
and HOME allocation.
Housing Rehab
$200,000 or 13% of the total
combined CDBG and HOME
allocation, whichever is less.
The set-aside for CDBG and HOME administration is set by HUD, the remaining
set-asides are governed by local policy.
Aid to Agencies
The Aid to Agencies set-aside of $105,000 is taken out of the Public Service
category which is capped at 15% of the total CDBG allocation (HUD rule). The
$105,000 has been a set-aside since FY94. The allocation of CDBG funds
awarded to Iowa City has decreased 30% since FY02, therefore, the amount of
Public Service funds remaining after the $105,000 has been taken out has also
declined. Last year, the commission had $14,300 in Public Service funds
available after the $105,000 set-aside was removed.
The $105,000 in COBG Aid to Agencies funds is part of a larger City contribution
to human service agencies. For example, in FY07 the City contributed $341,973
in local funds in addition to the COBG funds for a total of $446,973 to go towards
operational expenses for a variety of human service agencies. Two members of
the City Council review funding applications and participate in agency site visits
to develop recommendations to the City Council.
Since the COBG funds available after the $105,000 have been declining, the
commission may want to review some options regarding funding decisions.
There are at least three funding options for Public Service projects.
o HCOC recommends funding allocations for all public service projects,
including the COBG Aid to Agencies and City funded allocations.
o Council recommends funding allocations for all public service projects,
including the COBG Aid to Agencies and City funded allocations.
o $105,000 Aid to Agencies funding continues to be set-aside and HCOC
continues to recommend funding for the remaining COBG Public Service
($14,300) projects and City Council continues to recommend funding for
the City allocation (current process).
Economic Development
The economic development set-aside was created in November 2001 via
City Council Resolution # 01-367. The resolution allowed for an increase in
funding for economic development activities from 5% to 90/0 of the funding
"earmarked" in Iowa City's 2001-2006 Consolidated Plan. Since the FY03
allocation cycle, 9% of the total COBG and HOME allocations have been
set-aside annually for economic development activities. However, the 90/0
actually comes directly out of the COBG allocation because HOME funds can not
be used for economic development activities.
Staff is recommending that the Consolidated Plan be amended to clarify that 9%
of the funds be used for economic development; however, the 90/0 should be
calculated based on the amount of COBG funds available and not the total of
COBG and HOME funds available. Last year, $141,000 was set aside for
economic development based on 9% of the total COBG and HOME funds
available. If 9% of the COBG allocation was used then $76,000 would have been
set-aside for economic development. The economic development fund currently
has a total of $243,915 in COBG funds available to allocate to projects in FY07.
2
CDBG and HOME Program Investment Policies
Staff would also like to discuss the CDBG and HOME Program Investment Policies
(Council Resolution 05-213) at your August 15 meeting.
The current policy for housing projects states that the interest rate for all rental
housing activities will be zero percent (00/0) for non-profit owned projects and
prime rate (determined at the time the CDBG/HOME agreement is executed by
the City) minus two points for for-profit owned projects with an amortization
period up to thirty (30) years or the period of affordability, whichever is less.
After discussing the policy with non-profit housing developers it was determined
that the zero (0%) loan is not feasible for projects involving the development of
transitional housing for homeless families. The families typically do not have any
income when entering the transitional housing program. The maximum stay is
24 months and each family works with a counselor to gain stability during their
stay. The goal is to have an income source and to be in permanent housing
after 24 months. Since the families typically do not have an income source while
in transitional housing, the non-profit has a difficult time paying back even a zero
(0%) loan to the City. Staff recommends that the policy be revised to say that if
CDBG/HOME assistance is provided to a certified non-profit organization to
develop transitional housing for homeless families, the CDBG/HOME funds will be
in the form of a Conditional Occupancy Loan (COL), payable only upon transfer
of title or termination of services or occupancy as outlined in the applicable
CDBG/HOME Agreement.
Please review the attached policies and let us know if you have any suggestions
or comments on the proposed changes or any suggestions or comments for
additional changes.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Steve Long at steve-
long@iowa-city.org or at 356.5250 or contact Tracy Hightshoe at tracy-

MINUTES
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
THURSDAY, JULY 20,2006,6:30 P.M.
LOBBY CONFERENCE ROOM, CITY HALL
PRELIMINARY
Members Present:
Jerry Anthony, Marcy DeFrance, William Greazel, Holly Hart, Matthew Hayek,
Kelly Mellecker, Brian Richman, Michael Shaw
Members Absent:
Thomas Niblock
Staff Present:
Sue Dulek, Tracy Hightshoe, Steve Long
Public Present:
Maryanne Dennis, Charles Eastham, Dan Smith
Call to Order
Richman called the meeting to order at 6:35 p.m. Commission members introduced themselves for the
benefit of the new members.
Approval of the April 20. 2006 Meetina Minutes
MOTION: Hayek moved to approve the minutes as submitted. Greazel seconded, and the motion carried
on a vote of 5-0. Anthony, Hart, and Shaw not present.
Public discussion of anv item not on the aaenda
Hightshoe said there is a commission meeting scheduled for August 17, which is the Thursday after the
Community Development Celebration. She asked if the commission members would like to reschedule to
meet right after the celebration on Tuesday, August 15 instead. The celebration is 4:30-6:00, with a
program beginning at 5:00. The Celebration will be in the new Family Resource Center at Grant Wood
School. She asked for a preference from the commission members present.
Richman said moving the meeting to Tuesday after the celebration is fine with him. Greazel said he would
email his preference to Hightshoe. Mellecker said the current meeting would be her last, since she will be
moving to New York for school.
Anthony arrived at this point. Hightshoe updated Anthony on the current discussion about the next
commission meeting date. Hayek said it seems like the commission members are fine with doing a
combined meeting. Anthony agreed. Hightshoe announced that the August meeting will follow the
Community Development Celebration.
New Business
Long asked if the discussion about the bylaws could be first. Anthony agreed.
Holly Hart arrived at this point.
Discussion of HCDC Bylaws, Specifically Article 4, Section B and Article 6, and Application Form
Dulek asked if the commission members had any questions regarding the bylaws or the memo included
in the packet. She said HUD does not have membership requirements at this point, and noted that the
application question was raised by someone who brought it to the council.
Anthony asked if any of the changes are absolutely necessary. Dulek said no, but the phrase about a
"HUD requirement" makes the bylaws inaccurate. Anthony asked for confirmation that if the commission
continues to maintain those preferences, it would be acceptable to remove the phrase lias required by
HUD" from the bylaws. Dulek said yes, and whether the categories are retained or changed is up to the
discretion of the commission.
Greazel said at the minimum, the bylaws should be changed to remove the reference to HUD. Hightshoe
asked if the preference categories should be maintained.
MOTION: Greazel moved to accept the change as noted by Anthony. Mellecker seconded.
Housing and Community Development Commission Minutes
July 20, 2006
Page 2
Dulek said the actual decision on changes to the bylaws requires two meetings. Anthony said the motion
could be tabled, then the commission could discuss before bringing the motion up from the table at the
next meeting. Dulek said yes.
Hightshoe asked if the commission members would like to make any other changes. Greazel asked what
is done with the information, whether it is relevant to what the commission does. Anthony asked if there
currently are representatives from construction and finance on the commission. Hightshoe said DeFrance
has a background in construction, and there have been lenders on the commission in the past to
represent finance. Long said conflicts of interest make it difficult to keep a representative from the Local
Homelessness Coordinating Board on the commission, because most of those groups receive CDBG
funding. Anthony suggested removing that category.
Hightshoe asked about the need for race and age information. Richman confirmed those are not in the
bylaws, just on the application. Hayek said there is a recommendation to change the application as well,
so there are three things being addressed. One already has a motion.
Richman said it would be valuable to have people from the construction and finance fields on the
commission. He asked whether that should be in the bylaws. Greazel said if there is a problem with
compliance, the question should be investigated. Hightshoe said while there is currently no active
recruitment from those areas, it could be done. Greazel asked about adding the phrase "if at all possible"
to that part of the bylaws. Richman said that is what is currently written. Hightshoe said there could be an
active effort at recruitment.
Richman said even if those representatives are not actively recruited, it is good to have something in the
bylaws that gives the council guidance on what would be valuable when they consider new members. He
said he would like to only remove the reference to HUD.
Hightshoe asked whether changing or removing information from the application would require council
approval. Dulek said no. Mellecker asked if the council gives preference to seniors or disabled persons,
for example. Anthony asked what is done with the information. Hightshoe said the city clerk's office
collects it and shares it with the council, but she is not aware of any reports being released.
Richman said the issue is probably that representatives from certain populations would be helpful on the
commission, given that much of the funding is geared towards those with lower income and disabilities.
Hightshoe asked if the commission members think asking all applicants their income information is valid.
Long pointed out that the application information becomes public information. Hayek said specifying
"lower" income might exclude qualified individuals of moderate income. Hightshoe said that for CDBG,
"lower" would be anyone under 80 percent of median income, but not everyone would know that.
Mellecker said she would assume it is less than median income.
Hayek asked if the legal department recently did an investigation about whether receiving funds
constitutes a conflict of interest. Hightshoe asked for confirmation that he means whether someone
receiving, for example, tenant-based rental assistance could be on the commission. Dulek said that could
be a conflict. Hightshoe asked how that would be identified. Dulek said an analysis would be done on the
iridividual, including whether they received CDBG assistance.
Greazel asked if there was a recommendation from staff. Long said the information is not used, except in
the sense that they strive to have as diverse a group as possible. No one is disqualified based on their
answers. If someone is uncomfortable filling it out, it is voluntary. Long asked if any other commissions
have similar questions on their applications. Dulek said only the Human Rights Commission has similar
questions, but none have questions about socioeconomic level.
Hightshoe said because of the nature of the commission, it would be good to have representation from
the lower-income community. Whether that should be made public information might be too much of an
intrusion of privacy. Hayek asked about putting the preferences in the bylaws, along with the statements
about construction and finance, so then it is a guideline and something to strive for, but not a matter of
disclosure that is made public record. Richman asked how the council then is going to determine whether
people meet these preferences.
Housing and Community Development Commission Minutes

Long said the council does ask what the current makeup of the commission is when new appointments
are needed. Greazel said it is not all that integral to the function of the commission, so if disclosing the
information discourages people from applying to be a part of the commission, then the preference
categories are not serving their purpose.
Anthony asked whether a decision could be made today. Hightshoe said no. Long said it would be on the
next meeting agenda. GreazeJ noted that additional questions and suggestions could be emailed to
Hightshoe, as necessary. Anthony recommended moving to the next topic.
Community Land Trust Presentation - The Housing Fellowship
Dennis handed out copies of Housing Fellowship brochures and a copy of an article about the Land Trust
program in Boulder, Colorado. She said she and Long attended the National Community Land Trust
Conference recently, which is where she got the article on Boulder. She said she also has copies of the
Land Trust lease available for people who would like to review it.
Dennis introduced herself by saying she is the Executive Director for the Housing Fellowship (HF),
located in Eastdale Plaza. Community Land Trusts (CL Ts) offer housing options for low- and moderate-
income segments of the population. CL Ts were created to keep homeownership options affordable, and
are typically run by a non-profit organization. Essentially, the land is held by the non-profit organization,
while the owner holds the improvements or the home.
Dennis said the homeowner and the CL T enter into a long-term ground lease. The HF buys a piece of
land, build a house and sell it, but they do not sell the land, instead entering into a 99-year ground lease
that is renewable at the end of the term. The benefit of this structure is that the cost of the house is
reduced because the price of the land is not included. Restrictions on the resale price limitations are
included in the lease.
Dennis said she learned at the conference that there are a lot of CL Ts in the country. They are springing
up all over, and different non-profits use them to accomplish different goals. Sometimes they are used as
preservation of long-term affordability, which is one of the reasons the HF uses them. They also are used
for promotion of first time home ownership, neighborhood preservation, neighborhood restoration, and to
block commercial development. Conventional wisdom is that the motivation of the CL T should be clearly
defined in the purpose of the individual program.
Dennis said in order to block commercial development; some organizations anchor a CL T home on four
corners of a specified area, which effectively removes the land from the speculative market. The non-
profit will never sell it, so no commercial interests will be able to buy the land.
Dennis said the HF uses CL Ts to promote home ownership to income-targeted buyers, and ensure their
long-term affordability. The overall mission of the HF is to increase access to and availability of affordable
housing in Johnson County. According to information from the Iowa City Area Association of Realtors, the
average lot price in Iowa City/Coralville increased by $11 K in one year, from 2004 to 2005. Similarly,
there was also a $30K increase in the same time period in the average price of homes.
Dennis noted the averages include every piece of real estate sold in Iowa City and Coralville. When
looking only at single-family homes in Iowa City, the average price in 2005 was $253K. In contrast the
debt capacity of a family of four in Iowa City at 80 percent median income is between $145K and $155K,
which assumes $5K down payment, $200 per month utility costs, and $500 of other monthly debt.
Dennis said the HF has only done CL Ts in Iowa City so far, because of the use of HOME funds. They
acquire the land either with a HOME grant, or a declining-balance forgivable loan. The grants are easier,
because the loan does have a mortgage attached to it, which lenders to take into consideration when
evaluating a loan application. The HF builds the houses through private construction financing, and
recently they have also gotten lower-interest loans from Housing Trust Fund of Johnson County. They
payoff those loans from the sales proceeds when the improvements on the land are sold. The houses
are sold on the MLS through a local realtor, who donates his commission to the project. Any
administration costs incurred by the HF are also paid for from the proceeds of the sale as well.
Dennis said 13 houses have been sold in Iowa City so far, eight ranches with basements, two duplexes
on slabs, two duplexes with basements, and one two-story with a basement. 12 have been new

construction, and one was an acquisition of an existing home that they rehabilitated. They always include
egress windows and rough-in plumbing in the basements of the homes for future finishing. The covenants
in the various neighborhoods do restrict what the HF can build.
Dennis said people need to apply to qualify for a CL T house. They can apply at any time, and they must
include a copy of their most recent tax return. Income is verified again at the time of sale. The process of
verifying income and then approving or denying applicants is not an intense process because the HF
does not build or sell a lot of houses at once. They maintain a file of approved applications, and then
when a house is under construction, they contact the applicants to see if they are still interested and
qualified.
Dennis said buyers must go to a lender that is approved by the HF, and the options currently are Hills
Bank, Wells Fargo, and Iowa State Bank. They do that because there are many lenders that will not loan
on CL Ts, and time is wasted by going through the process elsewhere.
Greazel asked what happens if someone defaults on their mortgage. Dennis said it depends. If it is a
Fannie Mae loan, Fannie Mae includes a rider that states the land lease goes away. Greazel asked for
confirmation that the non-profit might lose the land. Dennis said yes, but practically speaking, what
typically happens is the mortgage holder looks at the abstract and sees that the HF owns the land and
asks them if they want to buy the house. The biggest reason the lenders do not like to do CL Ts is
because they cannot do desktop underwriting, so they require a huge amount of time to do it by hand. It
has nothing to do with whether the HF has a preference about the banks, it is just because those banks
will lend on CL Ts.
Greazel asked whether there are restrictions on second mortgages. Dennis said not necessarily, but they
still have to be mortgage-qualified. Because the HF owns the land, they are made aware of any activity,
and they have the right to tell owners they cannot go to a mortgage-broker.
Dennis said what she learned at the conference is that most CL Ts in the nation have an intensive
homeownership education program. The experience of the HF is that the people they sell to in Iowa City
are very bright and educated, and most cases have been successful. She said the other side of the
application process is that the house will be on the MLS, then the realtor calls the HF if other people
contact him directly, then she sends them an application and starts them on the process.
Dennis said buyers in the program have to have an income between 60 and 80 percent of the area
median income. The household incomes they have been selling to are quite a bit lower than the cap. The
other thing is that the house they acquired on Stanford Avenue was on the market for 89 days, which was
due to the fact that it was listed on the market while it was being rehabbed, and the buyers were going
through a secondary-market approval, which slowed things down. That skews the averages a bit.
Richman asked for confirmation that the HF currently has seven active applications, and only build one or
two houses a year. Dennis said yes. Richman asked if potentially people on the list might not get a house
for a few years. Dennis said yes, and when she calls applicants to follow up, a lot of times they are no
longer looking. If they are still looking, however, their income needs to be reverified at the time of the sale.
Dennis said one of their current projects is a student-built house in the Feel Good Project, which won the
2001 Iowa City Community Development Award for Fostering Community Partnership, and was featured
on the national HUD website. The local partners in the project are the city, the Association of Realtors,
the Homebuilders Association, and the Iowa City Community School District. Four houses have been built
in this program. The HF purchases the lots with HOME funds, and then the Vocational Training Council of
Homebuilders provides technical expertise and assistance, while students build the house. The HF
guarantees that they will purchase the house at the end of the year, which is then sold as a CL T.
Dennis said the land lease is based on a document developed by the Institute for Community Economics.
The lease is a lengthy document that is difficult to summarize, but the key point is that the HF lease has
been approved by Fannie Mae and Countrywide, which is not an easy thing to accomplish. Countrywide
is the market that services the Iowa Finance Authority first home loans, so HF buyers can qualify for
those. The homeowner has full and free use of the land, but when the house is sold, the owners must find
an income-qualified buyer. An attorney must verify that the buyer understands the lease, and there is a
resale formula in the lease that limits the resale price of the homes.
Housing and Community Development Commission Minutes
July 20,2006
Page 5
Dennis said the home must be sold to an income-targeted buyer, or the HF has the option to purchase
the improvements back and resell it. The homeowner is charged a monthly fee for use of the land, which
is currently $20 per month.
Long asked how property tax is handled. Dennis said it depends on the CL T. If the HF pays the property
taxes, they charge more for the monthly land fee. In the HF lease, the owner of the home pays taxes on
the land, and any improvements. Greazel asked if land is exempted from taxes. Dennis said no.
Richman asked for confirmation that the ground lease for all the houses Dennis discussed is $20 per
month per house. Dennis said yes. Essentially the HF is subsidizing the land, while the homeowner still
retains all the rights for free use of the land. She said the HF also has occupancy and use restrictions.
The home must be used as the owner's primary residence, so they cannot be rented out. The lease
defines what is considered a "major" improvement to the home, and those need to be approved by the
HF.
Shaw arrived at this point.
Dennis said in terms of equity and resale, the longer the owner lives in the home, a larger percentage of
the increase in value the owner will receive when the house is resold. The formula is stated in the lease,
and is how the house remains affordable. This only applies when the house is sold. If the first buyer lives
out her life in that home, she can will the home to her heirs.
Hayek asked how the house is appraised with that sort of restriction, and whether the lender hires the
appraiser. Dennis said they have done a lot of work with the appraisers, and Fannie Mae has a guide on
how to appraise CL T homes. Any appraisal on any home separates out the land, however, so it is not too
complicated.
Dennis said the resale price is the original appraised value of the house plus the percentage of change in
the increase in the value based on your length of residency, which is what comprises the purchase option
price. That is what needs to be explained to potential buyers. They have only had one sale so far, and it
was successful.
Dennis said in closing, through CL Ts the house remains affordable for subsequent buyers, and it is a
one-time investment that continues to benefit low-income buyers throughout the lease term of 99 years.
Also, the lease is renewable for another 99-year term at the time of its expiration.
DeFrance asked who the HF purchases lots from, and whether they pay appraised value or more for
them. Hightshoe said lots must be purchased for no greater than the appraised value. Dennis said three
lots have also been donated for this program.
Anthony asked whether the HF would like to have the program expanded in the area, either through them
or someone else. Dennis said yes, through the HF or anyone else would be fine. This program is great for
first-time home ownership, and the HF does not have to be the only group involved. There are also a
variety of approaches to the leases and other aspects; another group would not have to adopt the
approach that the HF uses.
Anthony asked what the challenges are for expansion of this program in Iowa City. Dennis said lenders
who are willing to do CL Ts, but that is also a nationwide problem. Richman asked for confirmation that the
same problems exist for buying lots for CL T houses as for other programs. Dennis said it is both the price
of the lots and the covenant restrictions. The buyer pool is becoming smaller, because the council has to
approve every site individually. Since there are restrictions on certain elementary attendance areas, the
available areas have covenants that create problems with building houses their buyers can afford. For
example, if the area requires a 1500 square foot house, the HF cannot build a house there that their
buyer incomes can afford.
Anthony asked whether Dennis has seen a rise in areas with restrictive covenants over the past years.
Dennis said no, all subdivisions have covenants, and the ones with the less expensive lots usually require
houses that are 1000 square feet. That works well for them, since they usually build 1100-1300 square
Housing and Community Development Commission Minutes
July 20, 2006

foot houses. Anthony asked whether there is a difficulty with finding buyers for the program. Dennis said
no, but it can be difficult to explain the program to people.
Dennis said Mayo Clinic has invested a lot of land into CL Ts in Rochester, and their restriction is that if,
for example, a nurse buys the house, then the house must be sold to a nurse. Some other very expensive
towns have CL Ts that serve fire fighters and teachers. Long said a project in Boulder involved a non-profit
and the city putting a mobile home park that was being threatened by development on a land trust. The
city bought it as part of a flood project, and then sold it to the non-profit.
Hayek left the room at this point.
DeFrance asked whether the HF had any property locations in mind. Dennis said they look on the MLS.
She added that when the program first started in 1998, they were able to acquire a lot valued at $18K,
and in just that amount of time the lot prices have risen drastically. Greazel said one of the valuable
aspects of infill.lots is that their covenants have expired or they did not have one originally, so they do not
have as many restrictions.
Hayek returned to the room at this point.
Dennis said these programs have a lot of success in communities with a lot of infill available, or where
there are a lot of properties that need to be torn down. Iowa City does not have either of those situations.
DeFrance asked whether any properties affected by the recent tornado would be available. Dennis said
no.
Introductions were done for the benefit of those absent at the beginning of the meeting.
Hightshoe said Greazel's and Shaw's terms are expiring, so they will need to reapply for another term.
Review of Allocation Process - Creation of Subcommittee
Anthony said last year a subcommittee was created to review the process and produced some very good
recommendations that were implemented last year. He asked whether the commission members feel the
need to revisit the allocation process.
Greazel said one of the things the commission discussed earlier was being more focused and deciding
what they wanted to accomplish with the limited funds that need to be allocated. It would be good to
discuss a plan before going into the process rather than being reactionary to whatever is presented to the
commission. Anthony agreed that it is good to be focused. He said that would be different than what was
evaluated last year. Last year the commission looked at the application process. This would be a review
of the commission's efforts.
Anthony asked whether the other commission members think having this sort of focus would be
beneficial, and if so, should a subcommittee be created to discuss it. Shaw asked what method would be
more efficient. Anthony said the committee approach last year was very good, and seemed to work
efficiency. Hayek said the changes from last year were great, so the application process does not need to
be reviewed again. Anthony said it would not be tinkering with the application process this year.
Hightshoe said it would be more along the lines of additional information to be sent out with the
applications, to let people know what sorts of projects the commission is looki~g for.
Anthony said the focus could be just for one year. Richman said it would need to get done sooner rather
than later, because applications will be due soon. It does not seem fair to put out guidelines a month
before applications are due. Mellecker asked whether this would be similar to the CITY STEPS plan.
Greazel said the problem with CITY STEPS is that it is ambiguous. There are times he would like to focus
effort in a project to allow it to really get off the ground and viable. He would like to give some projects a
bigger impact so they can be done right, instead of spreading things out so thin.
Greazel said he does not know if this has been tried before, to have the commission establish guidelines
rather than react to whatever the applicants submit. Hightshoe said that CITY STEPS is reviewed each
year, but setting a focused priority has never been done before, and would need to be approved by the
council. This would have to be done soon in order to get quality applicants for the focus area.

Hayek said that though the commission has a tendency to fund a lot of projects with a little money, they
all tend to score high according to CITY STEPS. He asked whether creating a focus is permissible.
Hightshoe said yes, because federal funds are allocated at the council's discretion. Council would have to
agree with whatever focus the commission would like to establish. Shaw asked if the commission would
need to make a recommendation to the council. Hightshoe said yes. Long said this would need to be
done by mid-August. Richman said it is unlikely anything formal would be in place before September,
which is already almost too late.
Richman suggested forming a subcommittee to implement this for next year. Hightshoe said in terms of
CITY STEPS, almost all public services and several other items are high priorities. Mellecker said she
thinks a yearly statement would be good, so some areas are not mislabeled a low priority. Hightshoe said
CITY STEPS is revised every year, and amendments need to go to the council for approval. That might
be a way of focusing efforts, through amending CITY STEPS, and then it would be reviewed on an annual
basis.
Richman asked when CITY STEPS is reviewed. Hightshoe said it is reviewed in September, approved in
October. It is only taken to council if there are amendments.
Hayek said it would be hard to downgrade high priorities to medium or low, because they are high
priorities whether the commission chooses to focus on them or not. Instead of going through an extended
review process that has to go through council, instead would it be possible to just decide on one area
within the commission and go with that. Shaw asked for confirmation that Hayek is leaning towards
Mellecker's suggestion of a commission mission statement for each cycle.
Anthony said that approach avoids the issue of having to downgrade priorities. They all remain high
priorities, but are not being focused on all the time. Hayek noted that a lot of non-profits depend on a
relatively steady stream of funding. Hightshoe said there could also be an issue where it is just the right
time for a group to do a particular project, and if it does not fall within the focus of the commission, the
opportunity could be lost.
Richman said he thinks the focus would not be centered so much on housing and public service projects.
He said he is thinking more in the public facilities project area. Anthony asked whether the council had
discussed what might happen to the public service funds. Long said council will talk about it in August.
Anthony asked whether there is consensus on if a subcommittee should be formed or not. No
commission members voiced opposition to forming a subcommittee. Anthony asked for volunteers to
serve on the subcommittee. Shaw said he would be willing to serve on the committee if there are specific
objectives and a timeline. Hart said she would be willing.
Hightshoe said if this will not be effective for this year; it could be done in conjunction with community
input received during the CITY STEPS review process for implementation next year. The subcommittee
would work with city staff to come up with a focus based on recent community input on community needs.
Also it might be good to hold off until new appointments to the commission are complete. Anthony
agreed.
Discuss Inclusionary Zoning
Shaw asked whether there was a meeting at the library about inclusionary zoning. He saw that one of the
meeting rooms was set aside for a meeting about inclusionary zoning. No other attendees had any
information.
Anthony said materials regarding this topic were sent out in the April meeting packet. Hightshoe said this
would be a subcommittee situation, to research the issue. She said a problem should be identified that
the proposed regulations attempt to address, before looking at the merits of inclusionary zoning. That
might be a longer process. Then the subcommittee would bring their conclusions and recommendations
to the full commission for discussion.
Anthony said first the subcommittee would look at whether or not inclusionary zoning is needed, rather
than the mechanisms involved. If the subcommittee decides that inclusionary zoning would be beneficial,
they need to first convince the commission before it goes any further.
Housing and Community Development Commission Minutes
July 20,2006

Hayek said the full commission should also see the information the subcommittee reviews. Hightshoe
agreed. Anthony said the subcommittee could look at the information that staff supplies, as well as the
market conditions in Iowa City. Then they would make a determination whether or not it is needed, and
present their evidence to the commission.
Mellecker said the first question should be confined to why inclusionary zoning is needed, not any sort of
policies or other discussions. Shaw asked for confirmation of what question the subcommittee should be
addressing, why it is needed, or whether it is needed. Hightshoe said she thinks the first question is what
issue or concern the commission is trying to address, and then whether or not inclusionary zoning would
help that identified issue. Long said the solution might not be inclusionary zoning.
Hightshoe said she anticipates that the subcommittee would be working with staff and also consulting
with Planning and Zoning. P&Z staff would have to have time to research and evaluate any
recommendation before it went before council.
Richman asked whether there was general agreement to form a subcommittee to discuss this. No
commission members voiced objections. Long said there are other groups in the community that have an
interest in this topic, which the subcommittee could meet with. Hightshoe said that the commission
members would be invited if the subcommittee meets with any outside groups, and summaries of
subcommittee meetings would be included with commission agendas.
Hayek said it is a very complex and difficult topic to discuss, so the subcommittee tasks would need to be
very focused. Anthony asked for volunteers for the subcommittee. Anthony, Hart, Hayek, and Shaw
volunteered. Hayek said he might be leaving the commission at the end of the year.
Anthony said the subcommittee would meet to decide on a process.
Smith said his group, which involves the Homebuilders Association, the Chamber of Commerce, Housing
Fellowship, and others, is very interested in and discussing this issue. There appears there are
overlapping areas of interest, so he hopes to work with the commission and subcommittee during the
discussion.
Shaw left at this point.
Announce Upcoming HCDC Vacancies
Hightshoe announced that Shaw and Greazel's terms will be expiring soon and they must reapply if
interested. Hightshoe confirmed that Mellecker is leaving so an additional spot will be open. She said
applications for these two vacancies are due to the city clerk's office by July 26.
Old Business
Discuss National Community Development Week Celebration
Hightshoe said the celebration would be held at Grant Wood Elementary on August 15 from 4:30 to 6:00
p.m. The plan is to have a band from 4:30 to 5:00, with the program beginning at 5:00. The principal at
Grant Wood will do some introductory remarks, and the principal from Southeast has agreed to be the
guest speaker. Regina Bailey will be handing the big checks and awards. Awards decisions have not
been made yet.
Hightshoe said she is trying to arrange to have developers set up some information about future private
development plans for the Highway 6 area as well.
Review of Down Payment Assistance Program
Long reported that no money has been spent. The lender told him they are having a difficult time finding
interest in the program since it has a $5K cap and house prices have increased. Lenders also make more
money doing 100 percent financing than with other strategies. The higher the interest rates go, however,
the more attractive the program might be. The commission needs to decide what to do with the money.
Hayek asked whether the money could be used for closing costs. Long said yes. Richman asked whether
it would be possible to market the program directly to buyers, rather than through the lender. Hightshoe
Housing and Community Development Commission Minutes
July 20, 2006
Page 9
said part of the problem is that it is not a grant, so they have to pay it back. Also, if the buyer is going with
the IFA first-time-buyer program, they cannot combine assistance, so they do not qualify.
Richman asked for confirmation that the problems are that there are too many competing programs, the
program is overly complex, and it is being poorly marketed. . Richman said if there are so many problems
with the program, then the commission should consider doing something else with the money. Hightshoe
said the money could be recaptured and allocated during the next round. Long said the city could also
take over administration directly. He added that the city has written letters to all the realtors and lenders in
town, so people know about it. Also, they do receive inquiries into the program, but once people hear the
parameters, they go elsewhere.
Richman said there is no incentive for lenders or realtors to market this program. Anthony asked whether
the restriction on not combining this with other sources was flexible. Hightshoe says the restrictions are
on the other sources, not with our requirements. Mellecker asked for confirmation whether the money
would go into the next round's funds if it was recaptured. Long said yes, or to cover overruns. Richman
asked whether this was from HOME or CDBG. Long said CDBG.
Hayek said it seems odd that there is not a need for the money. Anthony said part of the problem stems
from housing prices. Most of the houses that would be priced in the range where people in this income
bracket would qualify for the assistance were built before 1978, which leads to issues with lead paint.
Hightshoe agreed that is another problem. As these are federal funds, the city cannot fund a house built
prior to 1978 due to lead based paint issues.
Hayek asked whether it would be possible to increase the grants to $10K. Long said the lender says that
would help. Hightshoe said the city could also look at combining with other programs, such as with the
Housing Fellowship or the Iowa City Housing Authority programs for homeownership. Hayek suggested
giving the money to the Housing Fellowship. Richman said if that is the case, then the commission should
recapture the money and reallocate it.
Richman asked whether the commission needed to make a decision on this at the current meeting.
Hightshoe said according to council policy, it was required that half of the money be spent by March 15.
If not, the commission must reevaluate the project and could recapture funds based on the
circumstances. Long said since it is already past the beginning of the year, the commission could wait
until December to decide. Hayek asked whether there was a chance to spend the money before
December. It might do some good in the current program, and if not, the money could still be recaptured
by the time the commission allocates next year's funds (FY08).
Richman asked when the applications for next year's CDBG funds go out. Hightshoe said November.
Richman suggested waiting until October 15, and if the money is not spent, then recapturing it and putting
it with next year's funds. Hightshoe asked whether the funds would have to be administered through the
current lender if city staff made some arrangement with other groups. Long said it does have to go
through Hills Bank.
MOTION: Richman moved that the program continue until October 15, at that time any remaining balance
would be recaptured and allocated in the next funding round. Greazel seconded, and the motion carried
on a vote of 7-0.
Monitorina Reoorts
Economic Development Fund and Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity
Greazel distributed a summary to all the commission members. Hightshoe said $200K would be carried
over to the Economic Development Fund for allocation, which includes money from previous years as well
as this year's allocation. As indicated on the report, some of the applications have been successful, but
the majority was not able to maintain the business past three years.
Hightshoe said the plan for this fiscal year is to involve lenders more in the process, and have the city do
more gap funding for people who can get some private financing but are collateral thin, for example. The
goal is to have more success stories. She said she would still be the contact for the fund, and will present
to the Economic Development Committee in a couple months. She has talked to the Small Business
Development Center, and they thought that approach would be attractive to lenders.
Housing and Community Development Commission Minutes
July 20, 2006

Long said nine percent of the CDBG/HOME budget is taken out for economic development, which
includes both CDBG and HOME funds. Since only CDBG funds are eligible for economic development,
staff is taking a request to council that just nine percent of CDBG funds be used for economic
development.
Greazel noted that Habitat for Humanity spent their money purchasing lots.
Goodwill Industries, Planned Parenthood, Housing Rehabilitation, Downpayment Assistance
Mellecker said Goodwill spent their money and is all done. She was not able to talk to Planned
Parenthood. Long said their project is finished, which included moving the entrance out of the public right
of way to protect their clients, redoing the lobby, and installing a new counter top. The owner of the
property paved the lot and installed a privacy fence.
Mellecker said that Housing Rehab spent some of their money, but stopped because the rest of their
funding was tied up in Congress. They finished up their existing projects, and have been getting tornado
repair requests recently. Long said the funds were released on July 19.
Mellecker noted the status of the Downpayment Assistance program was discussed previously.
Hightshoe said that at the August meeting, staff would do the updates on all FY06 projects and carry over
projects that had not been reviewed this past year.
Long said the Senate Appropriations Committee increased CDBG funds for the first time in five years.
That means there should be approximately a $200 million increase nationwide.
Adiournment
There being no further business to come before the committee, Hayek moved to adjourn. Greazel
seconded and the meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m.

i In 1972, Tom came to Iowa City to take on
his new job at the University, and it wasn't long
'" thereafter that he called upon a friend with whom
he had previously worked in Minnesota, Barry
Morrow, and asked him to come and work for
him here in lotva. In the interim, Barry had
assumed legal guardianship of Bill Sackter, wh~
. had spent a half-century in a state institution.
. [I'{amed the School for Feeble-Minded and
Epileptics when Bill entered in 1920.],
Tom continued with his story: "Barry said
he wouid come, butT would have to give Bill a
job as well. So I said sure, why not. So Barry

bit and call it a library, but in effect it was Bill's

[And continues in operation to this day, on the
University of Iowa c~mpus.]

Lynn Borders sat in th~ Upto~n
Bill's coffee shop and explained
how she got involved,
"I had a cerebral aneurysm ten
years ago, and I almost died. The
University Hospitals saved my
life, I'm sure glad they're here,
didn't realized for awhile that part
of my brain injury is that I can't
learn new things. I went back to
the same job, sol didn't have to
learn anything new. But when the
job was eliminated, the position
was eliminated in 2003, I had to
move to University Hospitals.
i,j<; .
It was completely new, it was
as ifl'd never been a secretary
before. I couldn't do it. In a year
and a half, I failed at twa jobs. It
was awful, it was jus't the most
terrible thing I've ever been
through, At any rate, I've been
a'part of the brain injnry support
group for s~veral\'ears now and
they started meeting here, and
I'd wanted something to fill the
emptiness, There's not a whole
lot to do when you're not
working, and I knew the minute
I walked in the door that this
was the place for me, and I've
been here ever since. [love it
here."
I heard so many stories,
too l11anyJo share in the small
amount of space left. But
Uptown Bill's is a great plac~
to hear them, and tell your
own. ,Jom would like to have
more older customers and
volunteers become a part.of
the foundation's work. He is.
hopeful that the E-Commerc.;"
Center will provide new, .,J
opportunites f6r seniofs, and Jl<
that their, latest iniative, helpi~g
to assess and retrofit h()nies for

handicapped accessibility wilL
also be helpful for the elderly,
-,,1 The stated mission of the Extend

the disabled a,s well as the elderly.
