ITEM 3d. Resolutions and Motions:
ITEM 3d(1) DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC MODELING PROJECT - RESOLUTION
AUTHORIZING THE PROCUREMENT OF CONSULTING SERVICES
FOR THE DOWNTOWN IOWA CITY MULTI -MODAL TRAFFIC
MODELING PROJECT.
Comment: This Resolution will approve the procurement of Consulting
Services for the Downtown Iowa City Multi -Modal Traffic Modeling Project.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued to procure consulting services
for the project. One proposal was received from Shive Hattery in response
to the RFP. City staff and University of Iowa staff evaluated and scored the
proposal and recommended award to Shive Hattery. The contract award
will be for $155,400, which exceeds the City Manager's spending authority
of $50,000, thus requiring City Council approval. The University of Iowa
has agreed to contribute 1/3 of the project cost, with a not to exceed
contribution of $52,000. With a total project cost of $155,400, this leaves
the City of Iowa City's contribution at $103,400.
ITEM 3d(2) NORTHSIDE OKTOBERFEST - RESOLUTION APPROVING AN
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND IOWA CITY DOWNTOWN
SELF - SUPPORTED MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT TO ALLOW
THE TEMPORARY AND LIMITED SALE, CONSUMPTION, AND
POSSESSION OF BEER DURING NORTHSIDE OKTOBERFEST WITHIN
A SPECIFIED AREA ON A CITY STREET AND PARKING LOT.
Comment: Section 4 -5 -3 of the City Code allows for the sale and
consumption of alcohol in a city park, on a right -of -way, or other public
ground, excluding public buildings, pursuant to written agreement. The
agreement, which is attached to the resolution, allows the "Downtown
District" to sell beer in a fenced off area on the 200 and 300 block of
Market Street and the City parking lot on the north side of the 300 block
during the Northside Oktoberfest on Sept. 27. The exact location and
dimension of the site is attached as an exhibit to the proposed
agreement. The agreement is substantially similar to the one executed
last year except that the area this year includes the 200 block of Market
and that alcohol advertisement I allowed on the exterior of the tents.

Comment: This resolution authorizes staff to submit two grant
applications to the Iowa Department of Transportation's Traffic Safety
Improvement Program (TSIP) for up to $500,000 each and authorizes the
City Manager to sign grant agreements. Both projects are included in the
City's FY2014 -18 Capital Improvement Plan (Projects #3868 Mormon
Trek Right Turn at Benton and 3 Lane Conversion and #3871 First
Avenue /IAIS Railroad Crossing Improvement Project). If awarded grant
funds, the projects will address public safety on major arterial corridors
and one project addresses the City's goal to "successfully complete the
First Avenue railroad bridge project," an established priority in the City's
Strategic Plan. The grant requires no local match.

TRANSPORTATION SERVICES ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN -
RESOLUTION AMENDING THE BUDGETED POSITIONS IN THE
TRANSPORTATION SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND THE AFSCME
PAY PLAN BY ELIMINATING ONE PARKING MWII —
TRANSPORTATION SERVICES POSITION AFSCME GRADE 5, AND
ADDING ONE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN — TRANSPORTATION
SERVICES POSITION, AFSCME GRADE 11.
Comment: The Transportation Services Department has installed
equipment in the parking facilities that has automated many of the cash
handling functions, providing customers with more options to pay for their
hourly parking within Iowa City parking facilities. In addition, the
department has implemented smart parking meters to replace the 1135
coin operated parking meters and installed 27 new fareboxes. The
preventative maintenance of this equipment involves the cleaning,
troubleshooting and replacing of electronic components in order to
operate properly. The hiring of an electronics technician will allow us to
have someone on staff to perform preventative maintenance and repair
faulty components. The budget impact of this position on the
Transportation Services budget will be $9,100 - $12,000 annually.

REJECTING BIDS RECEIVED ON AUGUST 14, 2014 FOR THE WADE STREET
WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT, AND SETTING A NEW DATE FOR
RECEIPT OF BIDS FOR THE REBIDDING OF THE WADE STREET WATER
MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT, DIRECTING CITY CLERK TO PUBLISH
ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS, AND FIXING TIME AND PLACE FOR RECEIPT
OF BIDS.
Comment: Bids for this project were opened on Thursday, August 14, 2014, and
the following bid was received:
Calacci Construction Co. Iowa City, Iowa $ 253,107.50
Engineer's Estimate $ 188,000.00
Because there was only one bidder and bid received was significantly higher than
the Engineer's estimate, Public Works and Engineering recommend rejecting the
bid and rebidding the project. It is hoped that contractor availability will be more
favorable in January.
This project includes installing new water main along the west side of Wade Street
from Muscatine Avenue to Wayne Avenue and the installation of new hydrant
assemblies, connection to existing water mains, connection of existing services,
replacement of pavement and sidewalk, restoration and other related work. Th4

OPERATIONS SUPERVISOR — TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
POSITION PAY GRADE 27, AND ADDING ONE OPERATIONS
SPECIALIST — TRANSPORTATION SERVICES POSITION, PAY

Comment: The Transportation Services Department provides transit
services Monday through Saturday as well as providing parking services
seven days a week. Beginning in 2008, the Transportation Services
Department has gone through many changes in the way operations are
maintained. The automation of our parking facilities and changes we
have made to our janitorial processes have changed the function of the
supervisory personnel in the evening hours. The hiring of an Operations
Specialist position would fall in line with the duties now required of our
supervisory staff in the evening hours. The financial impact of this change
will result in an annual savings to the Transportation Services budget of
$29,000 - $44,000.

$68,728.91 cost includes onsite training.

Comment: This resolution approves 3 changes in the Neighborhood and
Development Services Department. The Department currently operates a
housing rehabilitation program with two full -time positions. The
rehabilitation program will continue, but by reclassifying one Housing
Rehabilitation Specialist position to a Building Inspector position it will
allow for that position and existing Building Inspector positions the
flexibility to work on a variety of projects from housing inspection to
housing rehabilitation. The other Housing Rehabilitation Specialist
position and the existing Code Enforcement Assistant position will be
classified under the new job title of Neighborhood Services and Code
Enforcement Specialist. This new position will allow for greater flexibility
to work with building inspection, housing inspection, zoning and nuisance
code enforcement, housing rehabilitation and assist with programs such
as the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership program. There will not be a
gain in full -time equivalent staff.

(SEPTEMBER 16, 2014) ON A PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO
THE RIVERSIDE DRIVE URBAN RENEWAL PLAN IN THE CITY OF

Riverside Drive Urban Renewal Area enables the City to undergo two
public works projects and to finance them with the tax increment created
by new value in the district. It also allows for later Council consideration of
financial assistance in a redevelopment project aligned with other City
goals.

Comment: Council Resolution No. 14-207 placed the question of a local option sales
tax on the ballot for the general election on November 4, 2014 and directed how
Iowa City's portion of the sales tax will be spent if the voters in the contiguous cities
of Iowa City, Coralville, North Liberty and Tiffin approve the tax. The Johnson
County Board of Supervisors has requested that all cities allocate 10% of the sales
tax revenue they receive to payment of the general obligation bonds for the
courthouse annex if the bond referendum for the annex is approved by voters in the
November, 2014 election. The Council is scheduled to discuss this matter at its work
session on August 19 and may, if it chooses take action to amend the previously
submitted ballot language. Correspondence from the Johnson County Board of
