Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2014 11:30 AM
To: Council
Subject: Support for Father John Spiegel
Importance: High
Dear Councilors,
I cannot be at the Council meeting tonight in person due to another important commitment so I am sending this
email. As you can see from my signature below, I am a professor of microbiology at the University of Iowa. I
am also a long-standing member of St. Mary's Parish. I wish to offer my full support for Father John Spiegel,
who is speaking to you this evening about windows at the Rectory. St. Mary's has been and will continue to be
good stewards of that building, which is a historical building here in Iowa City. However, the windows are in
terrible condition and the Parish wishes to replace them. All efforts, which I am confident would be successful,
will be to maintain the historical flavor of the building, but replacing the windows with more modern systems
that would allow our priests to open and close the windows like everyone would like to do at their residence,
and provide relief from the drafts. The Historical Society has stated that they will not allow window
replacement and that the Parish should "fix" the current windows. This will be very costly and quite frankly,
the parts are not available. And that is to say nothing of the lead abatement issues that would have to be
addressed. I liken this to one of you being forced to drive a Model T car for all of your errands and trips. It
needs repair you say? No, you cannot buy a more modern car if it breaks down — you have to repair what you
have because it is historical. Best of luck on getting parts for the repair.
It is only logical for the Parish to be allowed to replace the windows. Again, the historical view of the building
will not be compromised, and everyone will still benefit. In fact, having better and more modern windows
will INCREASE the lifespan of the building.
I urge to override the initial decision and allow for the windows to be replaced.
Thanks for your time and I would be glad to address any questions.
Sincerely,
Dr. David Drake

To: Council
Subject: Appeal of historic preservation decision
Dear council,
I encourage you to support the appeal regarding St. Mary's residence request for window replacements. I support their
proposal to replace the original (outdated and in disrepair) windows, with windows that are energy efficient, durable, and
will not decrease the historical appearance or function of the building. Allowing replacement with improved design, energy
efficiency, and yet maintaining the appearance seems only wise and practical.
Sincerely,
Bill Ostola

MINUTES
IOWA CITY AIRPORT COMMISSION
OCTOBER 16, 2014 — 6:00 P.M.
AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING
Members Present: David Davis, A. Jacob Odgaard, Chris Ogren
Members Absent: Jose Assouline, Minnetta Gardinier
Staff Present: Michael Tharp, Eric Goers
DRAFT
Others Present: Matt Wolford, Jeff Edberg, Jeff Neimeyer, Melissa Underwood, Tim Busch
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: (to become effective only after separate Council
action):
Recommend Council accepts purchase offer for Airport Commerce Park Lots 11, 12, 13
DETERMINE QUORUM:
Chairperson Ogren called the meeting to order at 6:04 P.M.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
Minutes from the September 18, 2014, meeting were reviewed. Ogren stated that she gave
Tharp a few edits, including that John Ockenfels' name had been misspelled in several places.
She asked if others had any changes to make. Ogren moved to approve the minutes of the
September 18, 2014, meeting as amended, seconded by Davis. Motion carried 3-0,
Assouline and Gardinier absent.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
None.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ACTION:
a. Airport Commerce Park — Edberg noted that they will be closing on lot
#8 tomorrow. He stated that he has received a Letter of Intent to purchase lots
11, 12, and 13. The buyer has been working with the City Manager's office on
this offer, according to Edberg, and the offer was approved yesterday. He added
that the closing on this sale will probably be in early 2015. Edberg noted that he
also had an inquiry on lot #8, but he told them they were too late for that
particular one but that lot #7 is available. Ogren asked if this latest inquiry
appears to be a serious one, and Edberg stated that the party is definitely
serious, but that it is too early to tell at this point. Tharp noted that the Airport
Commission, at this point, can make a recommendation to the City Council to
either accept or reject the current offer. Odgaard moved to recommend
acceptance of the offer on lots 11, 12, and 13 per their discussion. Davis
seconded the motion. The motion carried 3-0, Assouline and Gardinier

absent. Edberg stated that according to Dulek, the Council hearing on this will
be at the November 4 meeting, with readings of the resolution following. Before
moving forward, Tharp stated that he wanted to share some information for the
new Members' benefit. He noted that when they sell a lot in the Airport
Commerce Park, 70% of the proceeds go back to the City to pay off Airport
debts. He added that with this recent sale and the new purchase agreement, it
will almost wipe out the Airport's debts. He then responded to general questions
from the newest Members.
Tharp asked if they could move the 'terminal windows' item up at this point so
that Jeff Neimeyer can speak to them before they get too involved in the rest of
the meeting.
2. Terminal Windows — Jeff Neimeyer noted that they took a
look at some of the leaks that Tharp identified, and assessed that
from the time the windows were installed there was undoubtedly
some type of leak. As the sealants have deteriorated over the
years, the leak has worsened. Resealing the windows will not fix
the issue at this point, according to Neimeyer. He further
explained how the entire window system needs to be removed,
cleaned, cut down, resealed, and new glass installed in order for
the current windows to work correctly. Speaking to costs, Tharp
noted that the quote he received from the glazer was for $11,300.
He added that another company gave him a quote, just for the top
windows, that is for $27,000. Neimeyer reiterated what he is
looking for when he tests these window systems and what they
could expect if he were to do the job. He added that he is often
out at the Airport and does have a good relationship with
everyone, and that he has asked the company to offer a good
price. Ogren noted that the Committee was somewhat nervous
about this issue when first discussing it, due to the fact that there
appeared to only be one company available. However, now that
they have heard from Neimeyer, things make a lot more sense.
Ogren asked if this project is something that could be done before
the end of the year. Neimeyer stated that due to projects at the
Hospital, he knows right now is a very busy time. Tharp stated
that they would be able to work out a schedule, as long as he
knows the Airport Commission is on board with everything.
Neimeyer suggested they break it into two projects — do the upper
floor and lower floor separately. Members agreed unanimously
that they need to move forward with this project. Davis moved to
authorize the Chair to sign the necessary contract/paperwork
for this project. Ogren seconded the motion. The motion
carried 3-0, Assouline and Gardinier absent.
b. Airport Master Plan — Melissa Underwood spoke to the Commission
next. She stated that she brought the results of the user survey that was sent out
and she shared information with the Members. Underwood noted that they do
have their Master Plan Advisory Group put together now. They have members
from the neighborhood, as well as some pilots, and Tharp and Gardinier, as well.
