Re: Water Engineer
Introduction: Tim Svatos will retire at the end of August 2013. Tim has been in the position of
Water Utility Technician since 5/30/05. This creates an opportunity to redefine the position in a
way that better meets the needs of the Water Division.
History /Background: The Water Utility position has been in existence in the Water Division as
a FTE since 12/1/03. Prior to that temporary staff were used to help the Division transition from
hand drawn distribution mapping to AutoCAD format.
Tim Svatos completed the transition to AutoCAD and is moving the Water Division toward the
goal of implementing GIS through establishing databases of distribution features such as pipe,
hydrants, and valves. In addition, many of the duties he performs relate to engineering design,
inspection, mapping, bid document preparation and project management, particularly in our
Distribution section.
He was designated the Project Manager for the Division's water distribution system asset
management project using Cartegraph software.
Discussion of Solutions: Options and opportunities include:
The position would be filled with the existing position description:
o This option is possible, but the duties have trended more toward engineering related
activities as described above. Attaining the mission and goals that the Water Division is
committed to and needs for the future, makes this position, as it currently exists, in need
of upgrading to meet the demands.
This position would be recreated with an updated position description that would allow the
Water Division to bring a person with an engineering degree and skills into the Division and City:
o There are several models of similar positions in other water utilities in Iowa, as well as
the City's Engineering Division. This option would enable the Water Division to attain an
employee with a technical education to perform the duties needed and grow and develop
in the Water Division for the City.
o This position would benefit the Division's succession plan as a technical degree related
to the water industry and IDNR certification requirements are required for the Water
Superintendent's position. Although there is no guarantee of such a promotion, my B.S.
in General Science and M.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the U of I,
along with the experience provided through these degrees has been very beneficial. The
engineer would have a degree in Civil engineering, or a closely related field.
Financial Impact: Salary and benefits for a Water Engineer as compared to the existing Utility
Technician position would require reclassification from pay grade 12 to pay grade 15. The
approximate cost impact would be an increase of $7,019.64 for salary and benefits for FY 14.
This equates Step 1 for the Utilities Technician — Water to a Step 1 for the Water Engineer.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the position be changed to Water Engineer with the
attached position description.

MEMORANDUM
Date: August 26, 2013
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Dennis Bockenstedt, Director of Finance
Re: Budget Amendment #1 for FY2013 -2014
03-rT'
3e(4)
Introduction
The Department of Finance requests the City Council set a public hearing for consideration of
amending the FY2014 operating budget.
History /Background
The State of Iowa allows cities to amend the annual operating budget for supplemental
appropriation authority. This may include new or revised revenue and expenditure projections,
transfers between funds, and capital improvement program changes. Increased expenditures
must utilize available fund balance or additional revenue sources as the State does not allow
amendments to increase property taxes.
Budget amendments are submitted to the Finance Department and reviewed for approval by the
Finance Director and City Manager. Requests to carry appropriations over from one year to the
next are also submitted and approved in the same manner. A formal recommendation for a
budget amendment is then prepared for City Council approval.
Discussion of Solutions
This amendment increases overall revenues and transfers -in by $49,607,372, as shown on Line
14 of the attached notice (see Revenues & Other Financing Sources, lines 1 -14). The only two
revenue types being amended are intergovernmental revenues and other financing sources.
Nearly all of the proposed changes reflect capital project activity being carried forward from the
prior year. Intergovernmental revenues are being increased by $16,633,861, which represents
State and Federal grants being carried forward from the prior year. Other Financing Sources
are being amended by $32,973,511, which represents the issuance of general obligation bonds
and the transfer of operating funds for capital projects. These items are also being carried
forward from the previous fiscal year. The largest individual item is the transfer for local option
sales tax of $25,206,448 from the General fund to the Gateway project fund.
The section entitled Expenditures & Other Financial Uses (lines 15 -27) provides for an increase
in appropriations of $63,567,493. The majority of the increase in appropriations is related to the
timing of capital improvement projects (line 22) and total $28,576,790. The next largest
expenditure item being increased is Transfers Out by a total of $25,534,398. The increase in
this program primarily reflects the transfer of the local option sales tax funds to the Gateway
project. The third largest program being amended is for Business Type /Enterprise funds. This
program is being increased by $8,999,588 which primarily reflects capital projects budgeted
within those business -type funds.
The net budgeted result to cash balances is a reduction of $13,960,121 (line 28). This reduction
will be covered through excess cash balances and bond funds and will not affect property tax
revenues or levies. A list of the individual amendments is attached to this memo.
Recommendation
The Notice of Public Hearing for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 budget amendment is
attached to this memo. The Notice lists September 17, 2013 as the public hearing date for the
proposed amendment. It is recommended that the City Council set the public hearing as listed
and approve publication of the notice as required by law.

MEMORANDU
Date: August 27, 2013
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Michael Moran, Director of Parks and Recreation
Re: Normandy Drive
Introduction: This project will continue the renovation and re- building of the Normandy Drive
area of Iowa City that was heavily impacted by the flood of 2008. Plantings, trails and
landscaping will be done to restore the area into a green space as an extension of City Park
for use by the neighborhood and the public.
History /Background: After the flood of 2008, approximately 90 homes were purchased and
razed with the use of CBDG and FEMA monies, which properties are to be used as park land.
Neighborhood meetings were held over the past year to determine the extent of renovations
and repairs to the area to convert it for use by the public.
Discussion of Solution: FEMA mandates the amount and type of work that can be done in this
area. No structures can be built and concentration will be on landscaping and repair of the
grounds as well as the installation of permeable trails for use by the public as extensions of
City Park and the Rocky Shore Drive trail systems.
Recommendation: Approve the public hearing and begin the process of renovating this area
of the community
Fiscal Impact: The additional costs for this area will be on -going maintenance expense for the
city's Parks and Recreation Department. This project is budgeted as CIP project #4178 for
$409,000 and will be funded by GO Bonds.
