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.

I support their proposal to replace the original (outdated and in disrepair) windows, with windows that are energy efficient, durable, and will not decrease the historical appearance or function of the building.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 1061 Briar Drive Iowa City, IA.

KARR, CITY CLERK Airport Commission October 16, 2014 Page 1 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 Airport Commission October 16, 2014 Page 2 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.
