MEMORANDUM
Date: March 17, 2014
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Geoff Fruin, Assistant City Manager
Re: Adoption of the Iowa City Downtown and Pedestrian Mall Streetscape Plan
An overview of the Iowa City Downtown and Pedestrian Mall Streetscape Plan was provided to
the City Council at their March 4th work session. The streetscape plan was drafted over the last
year with involvement from local stakeholder groups and significant public input. While the plan
does not commit the City to funding any particular project, it does establish a vision for future
improvements.
The recommended projects contained in the report will be considered in future budget
processes and as private redevelopment opportunities are presented. The City Council has
adopted the FY 2015 budget, which contains $1,000,000 in a capital line item for various
downtown maintenance projects, additional design and study, and implementation of some of
the plan components. These `quick start' projects are outlined in the implementation portion of
the plan (Chapter 8). Included among the quick start projects is the design of improvements to
the Pedestrian Plaza and Black Hawk Mini Park. The City Council will be presented with a
design contract for this work at a future meeting.
The plan is temporarily available online at www.icgov.org /dowtownstreetscape or under the
highlights tab on the homepage. The report will be permanently archived as part of the February
27, 2014 Information Packet. A hard copy of the report can be provided to City Council
members upon request to the City Manager's Office.

MEMORANDUM
Date: March 11, 2014
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Michael Moran, Director of Parks and Recreation
Re: Consider a resolution authorizing City staff to make application for funding assistance
from the State Historical Society of Iowa for the restoration of the log cabins in upper City Park.
Introduction: This application will help fund the restoration of the Old Settlers' Association Log
Cabins in Upper City Park, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in June of 2013.
History /Background: These cabins are the last surviving structures built by the Johnson
County Old Settlers' Association. Restoration is necessary to ensure that they continue to serve
as a social and educational resource for Iowa City residents, students and organizations. When
the current restoration campaign is completed, plans call for the cabins once again to be used
by community members and organizations for meetings, events and learning opportunities.
Discussion of Solution: Apply for $50,000 through the Historical Resource Development
Program (HRDP), and commit to raising the remaining funds and, after learning whether the
grant has been awarded, determine the amount of local matching funds required and whether to
accept the grant.
Financial Impact: If awarded this REAP grant, and the City accepts same, the City of Iowa City
would be required to match funds through the general fund and /or private donations. The Parks
and Recreation Foundation began accepting private donations in March of 2012 and received
in excess of $11,000 to date.
Recommendation: Approve resolution authorizing City staff to make application for funding
assistance from the State Historical Resource Development Program (HRDP) for the restoration
of the log cabins in Upper City Park.

MEMORANDUM
Date: March 12, 2014
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Chris O'Brien, Director of Transportation Services
Re: March 25, 2014 City Council Agenda Item
Introduction:
At the May 6, 2014 City Council meeting, consideration will be given to a resolution authorizing
the filing of an application with Iowa DOT for FY2015 state transit assistance and FTA funding.
History /background:
This is an annual application filed with Iowa DOT listing capital and operating expenses that we
wish to see funded by IDOT and FTA. The projects contained in the application have been
programmed by Iowa City Transit for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307, 5310
and /or 5339 funds in FY2015. The projects will be included in the FY2015 Iowa DOT
Consolidated Transit Funding Application that MPOJC is completing and in the FY2015 -2018
MPOJC Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Iowa City Transit may not seek funding for
all of the projects; however, each project needs to be listed in order to be eligible for funding.
Discussion of Solution:
Following is a summary of the funds being applied for:
State Transit Assistance Program: approximately $428,200 — These are formula
funds awarded to the MPO and then distributed between Iowa City Transit, Coralville
Transit and the University of Iowa — Cambus.
Federal operating assistance for transit: $1,400,381 — These are funds awarded
from FTA to provide operational assistance to the transit agency.
From federal funds for transit in non - urbanized areas and /or for transit serving
primarily elderly persons and person with disabilities: $120,523 — These funds are
awarded to Iowa City and committed to para- transit services that are contracted through
a 28E Agreement with Johnson County SEATS
State -wide federal capital assistance for transit: $17,590,950 — These funds include
all of the capital projects that Iowa City Transit wishes to see funded. This sum includes
replacement and relocation of the transit facility and the replacement of several buses.
A local match of 15% - 20% is commonly required for the award of these funds.
Financial Impact:
The most substantial financial impact will result from the local match required of the capital
projects, especially considering the magnitude of the transit facility replacement and relocation
project. This project is estimated at $20 million with an estimated local match of $4 million. The
Transportation Services Department has a reserve account, currently just over $3 million, to pay
for the local match on the remaining capital projects.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends passing of the resolution in order to allow the consolidated application to be
filed with the Iowa Department of Transportation.

RE: FY2015 Refuse Collection rate increase
�: (5)
Introduction
During the fiscal year 2015 budget process, it is part of the budget process to review service
charges and fees to ensure that revenue projections are meeting the cost of providing services.
The Refuse Collection fund was one of the funds that was identified where projected revenues
were falling behind projected expenditures. In addition, the fund balance level in the Refuse
Collection fund was already at a minimum level of 14.96% of expenditures.
History /Background
The current refuse collection service charge is $11.40 per month. The increase proposed as
part of the fiscal year 2015 budget was for an increase of $.40 per month or an increase of
approximately 3.5 %. The last rate increase for refuse collection services was five years ago in
July 2009 for $.50 per month. Last year (fiscal year 2014), miscellaneous refuse fees were also
increased for yard waste stickers, bulky items, tire collection, and other miscellaneous charges.
Discussion of Solution
In order to continue to address the increased cost of operations and the need to have a
financially stable and self- sufficient Refuse Collection fund, the proposed solution is to adopt an
ordinance that increases the monthly refuse collection fee by $.40 per month.
Financial Impact
The proposed fee increase is expected to generate an estimated additional $73,000 per year of
revenue for the Refuse Collection fund. This additional revenue gives the fund a projected
increase in cash balance of $11,177 in fiscal year 2015 rather than a projected decrease of
$61,823. The impact on the average household is $4.80 per year
Recommendation
It is staff's recommendation to adopt the ordinance as presented amending the City's
refuse collection charges to incorporate the proposed fee increase of $.40 per month
that will be effective on July 1, 2014.

®�Q7 MEMORANDUM
Date: March 18, 2014
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Dennis Bockenstedt, Finance Director
RE: FY2015IFY2016 Water rate increases
Introduction
During the fiscal year 2015 budget process, it is part of the budget process to review service
charges and fees to ensure that revenue projections are meeting the cost of providing services.
The Water fund is one of the funds that has been identified where projected revenues are failing
behind projected expenditures. In addition, the cash balance level in the Water fund has
declined for the last three consecutive years and is projected to continue to decline.
History /Background
In May 2008, HDR Engineering completed a comprehensive water rate study for the City. In
that study, they identified the City's challenge to maintain capital funding rates equal to or
greater than depreciation to ensure the replacement of existing infrastructure. They also
recommended that the City implement rate increases of 5% in fiscal year 2010 and 3% in fiscal
year 2011 to fiscal year 2017. Since that study, the City has not implemented any of the
recommended rate increases. The previous three water rate adjustments were in fiscal years
2003, 2004, and 2007 and were all rate decreases of 5 %.
In fiscal year 2011, the Water fund had an ending unassigned cash balance of $10,065,355. At
the end of fiscal year 2013, that balance has decreased to $7,242,696. Over that same time
period, the Water fund spent $4,436,612 in capital projects funding and was the primary reason
for the decrease in cash balance. In fiscal year 2015, the Water fund's unassigned cash
balance is projected to decrease to $4,741,660. This is a decrease in cash balance of 52.9% in
just four years primarily due to capital improvement expenditures. The City's five -year capital
improvement program projects water funding for capital projects over the next three years to be
$4,782,272. This figure does not include the cost of repairing emergency water main breaks.
Discussion of Solution
The Water fund is an enterprise or a business -type fund that is expected to be self- funding. The
primary solution is to review water rates and charges to ensure that the fund is generating
sufficient revenue to cover its expenses. By implementing a user rate increase of 5% in fiscal
year 2015 and 5% in fiscal year 2016, the anticipated decline in the Water fund's cash balance
is greatly reduced. This solution also provides for a much healthier and sustainable fund over
time versus financing the necessary capital improvements through revenue bonds or other debt.
Over time, the bonded debt payments would actually require greater rate increases due to their
coverage ratios, reserve requirements, interest charges, and long -term payment schedules.
Other miscellaneous water fees and rates have also been reviewed and are proposed to be
adjusted to reflect the actual cost of providing those services. The fee for bulk water was
adjusted to reflect a similar rate that was being charged for metered water (from $.55 per 200
gallons to $.50 per 100 gallons). In addition, fees for water meter accuracy checks (from $62 to
$77), staff overtime services for water meter /hydrant problems (from $70 to $80), and
inspection /operation of private fire hydrants (from $88 to $91) were evaluated and adjusted
based on the actual staff and equipment costs to provide those private services. The last fee
reviewed was the water main extension fee; this fee was last reviewed prior to the construction
of the new water plant. The water main extension fee is generally intended to recover a portion
of the capital construction cost that the other system users have had to bear. This fee is
March 19, 2014
Page 2
currently being proposed to increase at the same rate as the water user charges, 5% in both
fiscal years 2015 and 2016. This fee would increase from $395 per acre to $415 per acre in
fiscal year 2015 and $435 per acre in fiscal year 2016.
In addition to the proposed changes to the above rates and charges, the new ordinance
removes the listing of charges for water meters. Water meters are charged to customers based
upon the actual cost of the meter to the City; therefore, the rates listed in the previous
ordinances were continually becoming outdated, and the City was not recovering their full cost.
The City Attorney's office has determined that these charges are not required by Iowa State
Code to be listed in the ordinance. It is staff's recommendation that these reimbursement rates
be removed from the water rate ordinance and subsequently be adjusted annually by resolution
so that they can be updated more quickly to reflect the City's actual cost.
Financial Impact
The proposed fee increases are expected to generate an estimated additional $408,392 in fiscal
year 2015 and $428,812 in fiscal year 2016. This additional revenue is not projected to keep
the Water fund's cash balance from decreasing but should slow the pace of decline
substantially. The Water fund's cash balance is still budgeted to decrease by $1,099,508 in
fiscal year 2015 and by $334,514 in fiscal year 2016.
Recommendation
It is staff's recommendation to adopt the ordinance as presented amending the City's
water use charges and other service charges.

The applicant, Willowwind Properties LLC, has submitted a final plat of Westwinds Second
Addition, a 2 -lot, 1.31 -acre subdivision located south of Melrose Avenue and west of Westwinds
Drive. The rezoning of the property from Low Density Multi - Family (RM -12) to Planned
Development Overlay /Low Density Multi- family (OPD /RM -12) and the preliminary plat for
Westwinds Second Addition were approved on December 3, 2013. The rezoning was approved
subject to conditions pertaining to restoration of an existing stormwater facility and easements for
2
vehicular access and parking.
ANALYSIS:
The final plat of Westwinds Second Addition is in general compliance with the approval of the
preliminary plat and subdivision regulations. The Conditional Zoning Agreement requires that the
stormwater detention facility on the subject property be restored and a plan for maintenance be
provided. Additionally there should be an easement to share the driveway that provides vehicular
access to the property and an easement to allow Lot 3 of Westwinds to use the existing parking
spaces on Lot 1 and 2 of Westwinds Second Addition. These condition need to addressed in the
legal papers. Legal papers and construction drawings are currently being reviewed by staff. It is
anticipated that these documents will be approved prior to the March 25 Council Meeting.
Neighborhood parkland or fees in lieu of: The Neighborhood Open Space Plan identifies the
proposed subdivision as part of the West High Neighborhood Open Space District (SW6). The
City's Neighborhood Open Space Ordinance requires the dedication of 4,022 square feet of
property or the payment of a fee in lieu thereof. Parks and Recreation has decided to collect fees
in lieu of dedication of neighborhood open space equivalent to the value of 4,022 square feet of
property. This requirement should be addressed in the legal papers for the final plat.
Infrastructure Fees: At the time of final plat approval the applicant will be required to pay $395
per acre for water main extension fees. Payment of these fees should be addressed in the legal
papers.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of SUB13- 00021, the final plat of Westwinds Second Addition, a 2 -lot,
1.31 acre residential subdivision located south of Melrose Avenue and west of Westwinds Drive
subject to approval of construction drawings and legal papers by the City Engineer and City
Attorney.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Tom Markus, City Manager
FROM: Kirk Lehmann, Community Development Intern
RE: March 25th City Council meeting agenda item: sale of UniverCity Neighborhood
Partnership home
Introduction
On March 25th, City Council will hold a public hearing and vote on a resolution authorizing the
conveyance of 303 W. Benton St. as part of the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership Program. Once
this home is sold, the program will have 33 completed homes.
303 West Benton Street
Under the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership, the City proposes to sell 303 W. Benton St. for
$140,000 plus carrying costs of $4,400. "Carrying costs" are all the costs incurred by the City to acquire,
maintain and sell the home, including abstracting and recording fees, interest on the loan to purchase
the home, mowing and snow removal, utilities, and real estate taxes. I -Jobs funds were used to
rehabilitate and sell the home as a single - family owner occupied home to an income - eligible buyer.
Renovations included electrical work, plumbing, new floors in the kitchen and dining room, new light
fixtures, a fresh paint job, an updated bathroom, and a brand new kitchen with stainless steel
appliances, new cupboards, and new counters. The cost of renovations is not included in the sale price
and forgiven once the homeowner has lived there for five years. The home must also be owner -
occupied for 20 years. Built in 1950, this home has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a spacious backyard,
and 1,290 square feet of finished living space. The buyer will receive down payment assistance in the
amount of $5,000.
Statement of Fiscal Impact
The assessed value of 303 W. Benton St. at the time of purchase was $130,660 and the sale price is
approximately $144,400. There will be no impact on the General Fund for ongoing operating expenses.
Recommendation
This home is located on a street where there are many rentals and after the renovation it has become
an asset to the neighborhood and community. Staff recommends approval of the resolution to
authorize the conveyance of 303 W. Benton St. as part of the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership
program.
