Those recommendations are to be considered in final form and no further correspondence is anticipated. Staff will be directing the first recommendation related to municipal identification cards to the ad- hoc Diversity Committee, which has briefly discussed this issue. Therefore, we recommend that the City Council wait for the final report from the ad -hoc Diversity Committee before pursuing conversation on this matter. The second recommendation relates to signage at public facilities and the availability of public information in multiple languages. Staff will be evaluating these recommendations throughout 2013 and will consider such changes as part of the anticipated City Hall front lobby remodel and as public information documents are produced. If the City Council has specific questions, thoughts or direction on this recommendation it would be appropriate to schedule time at a future work session. Otherwise, staff will move forward and consider these changes as opportunities arise. If in the future the City Council wishes to have formal recommendations from boards and commissions delivered in a format other than the meeting minutes, staff would be happy to facilitate that change based on your input and direction. =ter = CITY OF IOWA CITY ''►- MEMORANDUM Date: January 23, 2013 To: Tom Markus, City Manager From: Michael Moran, Director of Parks and Recreation A question was raised at your January 22, 2013 meeting concerning the Hickory Hill calendars mentioned in the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting minutes.

Marian Karr From: Rick Dobyns Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 10:12 PM To: MurphyGeerdes Cc: Marian Karr Subject: Re: RPS & budget IN Mary, thank you for a thoughtful and relevant letter. I will consider your proposals in future discussions with city staff. Rick On Jan 20, 2013, at 2:19 PM, "MurphyGeerdes" <mg9425 @mchsi.com> wrote: Dear Dr. Dobyns, I appreciate your thoughtful consideration of recent issues, and thank you for it. I am now writing with the following thoughts. 1. Despite having children at Northwest and City High, I would request that the council not endorse the school district's revenue purpose statement. An untested young superintendent who has already shown a willingness to job hop should not be provided with immediate access to about 2/3 of the anticipated SILO revenues up to 2029. In addition, even if the district comes up with a plan about how to spend the money, there are no accountability measures that would require any proposed plan to be enforced. I would support making Mark Twain a magnet school by fall, and I fully support building a third high school. I understand that City and West High may not look exactly the same if a third high school is built; however, I firmly believe that a three high school system would be better than two large high schools for district children and that three district high schools would all be good. (Of course, the school district will need to balance the schools by achievement data to better ensure equity.) 2. I'd like the council to get rid of the project to raise Dubuque St. I commuted to work for over ten years using Dubuque Street and do not remember ever feeling unduly inconvenienced by flooding. For those occasions where there was water on Dubuque St., there were often still two lanes open or all four lanes would be open by evening. Plus, construction on Dubuque of this magnitude would be very disruptive for a long period of time and overly costly. I would support necessary modifications to Dubuque St. to open Ed Cole's land for development and a new Park Road bridge provided it would better aid bicycle and walkers. In lieu of spending money elevating Dubuque St., I'd like to see the following: A. Extend Foster Road extension to Prairie Du Chien to provide access to downtown if Dubuque Street is ever closed. This would also open up land close to downtown for development. B. The Iowa City Park trail lighting project should move to the funded category since it would likely encourage more people to commute without using cars. Once bicycle and foot traffic reaches university grounds, the trail is already lighted so this project would nicely compliment existing infrastructure. C. Iowa City needs more green space and bicycle trails to be competitive. Plus, the east side could use a branch library near Mercer /Southeast and the West side could use a recreation center. There also is a shortage of basketball courts /gym space in town and there is no indoor soccer space except at the university. 3. Given that the Johnson County onservation bond issue would not have passed without support from Iowa City voters, I would like to see Iowa City officials encourage Johnson County to spend some of the bond conservation money in Iowa City. The bond language supports using the money for bike trails. 4. Iowa City should not put a flooc gate at Rocky Shore. There are only two and one -half Iowa City businesses to be protected, and the university knowingly developed land that has always held water into sports fields —all of which I ave recovered. If Iowa City insists on cooperating with Coralville and going forward with this pro ect, it should do so only if Coralville signs the anti - piracy agreement 5. 1 would like to see more CDBG and other affordable housing dollars redirected toward the elderly and disabled. Iowa City could use more affordable assisted living facilities for the elderly. Thank you for your ongoing attentic n to this matter and your service on Iowa City Council.

Text Size Published: Wednesday, 25 Jul 2012 1:16 PM ET By: Courtney Reagan CNBC General Assignment Reporter Twitter LinkedIn Share After two years in the making, Target opened its first CityTarget stores Wednesday in Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle. In October, two more CityTarget locations will open in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Sou": Target City Target More Americans, and their money, are leaving the suburbs for the city, and retailers like Target are reformatting the way business is done to try to tap into the potential demand as retailers move into market maturity. The latest U.S. Census data reveals 80.7 percent of Americans live in urban areas, more than the 79 percent a decade ago. The populations of urban areas has also increased by more than 12 percent, faster than the rest of the country's 9.7 percent growth rate from 2000 to 2010. CityTargets are smaller, though not necessarily small. The stores average from 80,000 to 100,000 square feet, or about two - thirds the size of a typical Target store. The new CityTarget locations feature slimmer check -out lanes, smaller back -rooms for delivery and slightly different merchandise to best cater to the urban consumers Target hopes to capture. Even the delivery trucks themselves are smaller. Big box competitor Wal -Mart also operates scaled -down stores in Chicago, although they are considerably smaller than the new CityTarget. While Wal -Mart hasn't broken out the financial results of the its smaller format stores, analysts say the retailer seems pleased with the performance and plans on opening more. However, Walmart Express stores in some cities like Chicago have had some growing pains, according to analysts. One example analysts point to is a mismatch of merchandise sold: Walmart Express stores didn't have the prepared food options desired by urban consumers on the go. (Related: Target or Wal -Mart? Pro Picks Favorite) Best Buy has found success in its smaller format stores in malls and elsewhere, including Best Buy Mobile locations. However, most consider the consumer electronic retailer's move to a smaller format as more of a necessity to adapt rather than an opportunity to capture new consumers thanks to increased competition from e- commerce retailers like Amazon.com . Target Senior Vice President Shawn Gensch told CNBC, "CityTargets will have the right products for urban guests and commuters. We may not have large patio sets and furniture in the store, rather bistro sets.... One of the great things about CityTarget is the ability to customize each location to each city we are in.... This is a way for us to bring that local, urban feel to tourists, urban residents and commuters that come through our stores." Morningstar retail analyst Michael Keara was at the new CityTarget in Chicago Wednesday and called the merchandise impressive. He said it is geared more towards a city- dweller and is considerate of a shopper on foot who will likely be carrying merchandise or riding public transportation. He said he saw products in the furniture section for organizing small spaces, a wider breadth of consumer electronics, and more natural food options. Keara thinks grocers should feel the biggest competitive threat, thanks to CityTarget's food offerings. "[Target] is another player using groceries to drive customer traffic," he said. "They aren't looking to make money on the bananas they sell, they just want the [CityTarget] consumer to come in there and hopefully create traffic and buy some high -end home goods or apparel. Walmart did this in the 90s ... and it really hurt the traditional grocery stores." However, Keara is also concerned about how successfully Target will be able to grow incremental sales at the new CityTarget stores, especially with other Target locations nearby. Target opened its first store in the Chicago area in 1993. "How much are you cannibalizing your own sales? There's a Target less than a mile down the road from the State Street CityTarget ... I'm a shopper at that Target and I know I will be splitting my shopping basket between the two," he said. Iowa City Community School District — Educational Services Center Stephen F.

The school was named for Norman Borlaug, a native Iowan who was an agronomist, humanitarian, and Nobel laureate who has been called "the father of the Green Revolution." Borlaug was one of only six people to have won the Nobel Peace Price, Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal. On August 16, 2012, the new school opened with nearly 325 K -6 students coming from Roosevelt, Horn and Weber Elementary Schools. The school provides two preschool programs, a family resource center and a before and after school program run by the Coralville Recreation staff. The City of Coralville generously contributed to the construction of a double -sized gymnasium that can be used by the public during non - school hours. The newly formed Borlaug PTO was actively engaged in fundraising for the school's playground structures and numerous community volunteers helped to build the structures. The staff, mainly comprised of former Roosevelt teachers, has worked extremely hard under the leadership of Principal Celeste Shoppa to transition to the new facility and provide a supportive environment for their students and families.

The increase is being felt throughout the District. The Board and Administration continue to work on a long -term plan to address the facility needs in our District. The Iowa City Community School District continues to be a leader in educational excellence that is child centered and future focused. Message from the Superintendent The 2011 -12 Annual Report Card provides an overview of the many great student achievements that are integral to the Iowa City Community School District. Benchmarks of our success can be found in student achievement data, ACT results, graduation rates and financial information as we strive to meet the Board of Education and District goals. This Report Card provides information regarding enrollment trends over the last several years. We are one of the few communities across the state that has experienced significant growth in our student population. As a district we are more diverse. We embrace all of our students and continue the strong community tradition of providing a variety of curricular and extra - curricular educational experiences and programs to prepare our students for the 2155 Century. As Superintendent of Schools, I want to thank you personally for supporting our schools. Working together as one community we will be able to meet the challenges of rapid growth while continuing our standard of excellence in education. Stephen F. Murley Superintendent of Schools Our Mission: To ensure all students become responsible, independent learners capable of making informed decisions in a democratic society as well as in the dynamic global community.

ICCSD Academic Achievement Report 2012 -2013 Academic Year NORM REFERENCED The District Compared to the Nation To compare academic performance of ICCSD students to students across the nation, a comparison of percentile ranks has been established. The following chart permits the District to make a relative comparison of the two groups. The percentile ranks are averages of all students taking the assessment in fall 2012. The majority of students in the District are in the top quarter of national performance. ICCSD student academic performance exceeds national performance in all grades and all subject areas. Growth Over Time When analyzing achievement of grade level groups over a two -year period, achievement increases in a variety of ways. It increases: • grade level to grade level, • at a rate greater than the nation, progressing from third to 11t" grade, and • in all subject areas tested. Because there are only two years of data on the Iowa Assessments, caution should be taken when drawing conclusions. ICCSD National Percentile Ranks Fall 2012 Iowa Assessments by Grade and Subject CRITERION REFERENCED The District Compared to a Criterion: Common Core State Standards Because the Iowa Assessments are aligned to the Common Core State Standards (Reading, Language and Writing, and Mathematics), it is possible to report student performance related to a criterion, in this case, the percent of correctly answered items. ICCSD students correctly answered between 54 and 75 percent of the questions correctly, considering all grades and all subject areas. The District outperforms the nation in terms of correctly answered questions at all grade levels and all subject areas.

Standard scores are useful to measure performance over time. Because average growth from year to year has been established, it is possible to determine how much a student or group typically increases in achievement over time. Percentile Rank (PR): This is a score that indicates how many students performed below the student (or group). Percentile ranks are useful as a way to compare students or groups. Matched Cohort : A group of students who have been in the district and taken the test all years reported. Data from a matched cohort follow a group of students (3rd to 4") over time. U1 -24-13� IP7 IOWA CITY TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION DRAFT MONDAY, DECEMBER 17,2012--5:30 P.M. CITY CABLE TV OFFICE, 10 S. LINN ST. -TOWER PLACE PARKING FACILITY MEMBERS PRESENT: Laura Bergus, Alexa Homewood, Matt Butler, Hans Hoerschelman, Nicholas Kilburg MEMBERS ABSENT: STAFF PRESENT: Mike Brau, Bob Hardy, Ty Coleman OTHERS PRESENT: Josh Goding, Bond Drager, Emily Light RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL None at this time. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION Hoerschelman said contact information for each of the access channels should be available on the City Channel website. Hardy said he has contacted a realtor to look for potential locations for a joint PATV /City facility. The Eastdale /Sycamore Mall area is one area that may be a good choice. Hardy said it needs to be determined how much it would cost to sell PATV's facility, the operational costs of a new facility, and develop a process to resolve any disagreements on the operations of a joint facility. Hardy suggested that a facilities board made up of representatives or the City, PATV and the Commission could be established to resolve any disagreements. Hardy said together the City and PATV will lose about 50% of their current funding in 6 years. A joint facility budget reflecting a 50- 60% reduction over the current budgets needs to be developed with the savings between now and 6 years put in a reserve fund for future use. Hardy said his goal is to have a cost schedule for 4 scenarios —PATV moving into the City facility, the City moving into PATV's facility, a new facility, and modification to the City or PATV facility. Hardy said it is his goal to have a decision made on the future of the relationship between the City and PATV by March 1 when PATV's contract extension expires. Bergus asked if the anticipated savings from a joint facility will meet the goal of reducing expenditures by 60 %. Hardy said he did not know. Hardy said he has recommended that his position be eliminated after he retires. Bergus asked if other savings such as purchasing lower quality equipment and efficiencies in equipment utilization in a combined facility have been considered. Hardy said that some tasks such as managing playback of the two channels has been considered and other tasks might also be consolidated. Bergus said the job of the Commission should be to advocate for the local access channels and the Commission should not be content to proceed down a path of least resistance. Hoerschelman said that the Commission could help raise awareness of local access operations in the community within the process of managing future changes. Bergus said the City Channel has increased the amount of productions that promote the public relations needs of the City and that given the strain on future funds it might be a good time to make a pitch for the City Channel to receive some money from the general fund. Hoerschelman reviewed the lists of tasks to be completed before the broadband survey can be initiated. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Bergus moved and Kilburg seconded a motion to approve the November 26, 2012 minutes. The motion passed unanimously. ANNOUNCEMENTS OF COMMISSIONERS None. SHORT PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS None. CONSUMER ISSUES Hoerschelman noted there was a complaint report in the meeting packet. All the complaints have been resolved. MEDIACOM REPORT No representative was present. Hoerschelman said that he switched to Mediacom for Internet and phone service and was incorrectly charged for a modem and /or wireless router fees. LOCAL ACCESS CHANNELS REPORTS The City Channel, the library, and the Senior Center provided a written report for the meeting packet. PATV had a written report distributed at the meeting. Hoerschelman asked about the University of Iowa providing a report. Hardy said he did not know who replaced McBride as the representative for UITV. Hoerschelman said he would like to get written reports from the University and that the ITS help desk help could route a call to the appropriate person. Hoerschelman said that contact information for each of the access channels should be available on the City Channel website. Hardy said he would see that they are included. Coleman said City Channel 4 will be cablecasting a summer music marathon over the New Year period. CABLE TV ADMINISTRATOR REPORT Hardy said the only thing he had to report would be covered in the next agenda item. JOINT ACCESS FACILITY Hardy said he has contacted a realtor to look for potential locations for a joint PATV /City facility. The Eastdale /Sycamore Mall area is one area that may be a good choice. Hardy said it needs to be determined how much it would cost to sell PATV's facility, the operational costs of a new facility, and develop a process to resolve any disagreements on the operations of a joint facility. Hardy suggested that a facilities board made up of representatives or the City, PATV and the Commission could be established to resolve any disagreements. Hardy said together the City and PATV will lose about 50% of their current funding in 6 years. A joint facility budget reflecting a 50 -60% reduction over the current budgets needs to be developed with the savings between now and 6 years put in a reserve fund for future use. Hardy said his goal is to have a cost schedule for 4 scenarios —PATV moving into the City facility, the City moving into PATV's facility, a new facility, and modification to the City or PATV facility. Hoerschelman asked if there was any role the Commission could play. Hardy said not at this time. Hardy said it is his goal to have a decision made on the future of the relationship between the City and PATV by March 1 when PATV's contract extension expires. Bergus asked if the anticipated savings from a joint facility will meet the goal of reducing expenditures by 60 %. Hardy said he did not know. Hardy said he has recommended that his position be eliminated after he retires. Bergus asked if other savings such as purchasing lower quality equipment and efficiencies in equipment utilization in a combined facility have been considered. Hardy said that some tasks such as managing playback of the two channels has been considered and other tasks might also be consolidated. The City Cable TV Office could rent for as much as $20 per square foot. Rental costs in the Sycamore Mall area are about $8 per square foot. Bergus said the job of the Commission should be to advocate for the local access channels and the Commission should not be content to proceed down a path of least resistance. Hoerschelman said that the Commission could help raise awareness of local access operations in the community within the process of managing future changes. Bergus said the City Channel has increased the amount of productions that promote the public relations needs of the City and that given the strain on future funds it might be a good time to make a pitch for the City Channel to receive some money from the general fund. BROADBANDSURVEY Hoerschelman reviewed the lists of tasks to be completed before the survey can be initiated. Hardy said he has yet to forward the survey URL to ITS for review. Brau said drafting an email to survey testers could easily be done when the survey instrument has been finalized. Hoerschelman has modified the language explaining the goals and purpose of the survey and has forwarded to Hardy. Hardy said the City administration has no objection to conducting the survey. Hoerschelman has initiated the process to send out a mass email to the University staff but a final decision will take some time for the University. Brau said he has the information needed to put a flier in the water bills. Hardy said he has not yet contacted Mediacom about putting a flier in their bills. Hoerschelman said he has identified several firms that conduct telephone marketing surveys but it is premature to request bids. Hoerschelman said a question asking respondents how they found out about the survey will be added. Hoerschelman asked if a promotional PSA might be produced and cablecast. Hardy said Coleman could provide assistance with a PSA. BOARD AND COMMISSION TRANING Hoerschelman said that he and Bergus attended a previous training session. That session mainly provided greater clarification and detail on issues with which they were already knowledgeable. Kilburg said he would be interested in attending any future training sessions. ADJOURNMENT Kilburg moved and Homewood seconded a motion to adjourn. The motion was approved unanimously.
