MEMORANDUM
Date: June 18, 2015
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Linda Kopping, Senior Center Coordinator"R
Re: Recommendation for Acceptance of Johnson County Board of upervisor's $59,224
Economic Development/Quality of Life Block Grant for FY16
Introduction:
In November of 2014, The Center submitted an Economic Development/Quality of Life Grant to
the Johnson County Board of Supervisors requesting $133,221 for FY16. This is the amount
necessary to cover the proportion of tax -supported operational expenses equal to the proportion
of Center members that reside in areas outside of Iowa City, but in Johnson County.
The Johnson County Board of Supervisors awarded The Center $59,224 for FY16. While the
City is pleased to continue our partnership with the County, this grant is not proportional to the
participation rate of the 19% of Center members who are non -Iowa City residents of Johnson
County.
The grant funds will be drawn from the County's general levy. Thus, residents of all Johnson
County jurisdictions will contribute property tax dollars to fund this grant. Iowa City residents are
the largest contributors to the County's general levy and roughly half of the grant amount
provided by the County will come from Iowa City residents who are already paying City taxes to
support Center operations.
History/Background:
From the highest contribution of $141,410 in FY02, the County's financial support dropped to
$75,000 in FY04. In FY12 and FY13, funding declined to $70,000, or approximately 9% of The
Center's total operational budget. This amount was less than what was necessary to cover
operational expenses associated with the 19% of Center members who are non -Iowa City
residents of Johnson County.
In FY14 only the amount necessary to cover the proportion of operational expenses equal to the
proportion of Center members residing in unincorporated areas of Johnson County was
requested. The City further requested that the funds be drawn from the County's rural levy,
given that the requested grant amount was intended to fund only the participation costs of rural
residents. The intention was to request funding from other jurisdictions in the County to support
the participation of their residents at the Center. The County awarded the $59,224 requested,
but the funding came from the general rather than the rural levy.
Given the County's apparent interest in using the general levy as a funding source, a decision
was made when preparing the FY15 and FY16 grant applications to request an amount
proportional to the 19% of non -Iowa City residents of Johnson County who are members of The
Center. In FY15 $138,700 was requested, in FY16 the amount requested was $133,221. While
this continues to double tax Iowa City residents, it includes taxes collected from all other areas
of Johnson County. The County awarded $59,224 for FY15 and FY16.
The Center's annual membership fee program is structured to reflect variations in operational
support provided by Iowa City and Johnson County. Iowa City residents pay a membership fee
June 18, 2015
Page 2
of $33, residents of Johnson County living outside of Iowa City pay $60, and non -Johnson
County residents pay $96. After deducting program revenue and reimbursed expenditures, the
FY14 cost per Iowa City member was approximately $449. The $59,224 County grant in FY14
was roughly $206 per County member outside of Iowa City, leaving a $243 gap. The $60
membership fee covers only a portion of this difference.
Discussion of Solutions:
Staff is working with financial strategic planning and marketing consultants, Senior Center
Commission, and participant volunteers to evaluate Center fee structures, including
membership fees, and cost -recovery models to develop equitable and sustainable funding
mechanisms. Achieving equity with other cities in Johnson County may be complicated, as tax
dollars from their residents are already being used to help fund the Center through the County
general levy, though not in an amount that the covers the cost of providing the service.
Financial Impact:
The FY14 through FY16 grant amounts are $10,776 less than the FY13 grant amount and
$15,776 less than the grant in each fiscal year between 2004 and 2012. The grant continues to
`double tax' Iowa City residents for services at the Center, as they pay through both their City
and County levies. As membership continues to grow, a decreasing grant amount will
exacerbate the inequitable funding described above.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends acceptance of the $59,224 Economic Development/Quality of Life Grant
awarded to The Center by the Johnson County Board of Supervisors.
City Manager's Note:
City staff recognizes that property taxes levied across one jurisdiction do not provide a
proportional relationship between the tax paid and the service received. For example, some
individuals pay school taxes but do not send any children to public schools. Property taxes
distribute the cost of services (those services provided for the general public good) based on the
value of taxable property. However, the issue becomes more complicated when multiple
jurisdictions attempt to fund the same service, as is the case with the Senior Center, Animal
Services, SEATS, etc.
In these situations, it is beneficial to relate the amount of revenue provided by one jurisdiction to
the service received by the citizens of that jurisdiction. Doing so reduces the possibility of
double taxation or situations in which those receiving a service do not pay their fair share.

City of Iowa City: End of Trip Facilities Policy
Introduction
The City of Iowa City is committed to contributing to the overall sustainability of the community by providing
safe and efficient modes of travel for all users. In order to encourage walking and bicycling as active modes of
commuting, the City acknowledges the need to provide secure, well-designed and effective on-site bicycle
parking and end -of -trip facilities at key municipal buildings.
This policy provides guidance on the development and design of end -of -trip facilities at newly constructed
municipal facilities and major remodeling projects. The City may at its discretion reduce or eliminate
requirements of this policy when the extenuating circumstances exist or when a clear need does not exist.
Bicycle Parking
The provision of safe, secure and convenient bicycle parking is important for commuters. Bicycle parking can
be separated into two types: short-term and long-term.
Short-term parking consists of a rack or series of racks that primarily serve bicyclists who are parking for
intermittent periods — such as visitors to a building.
Long term parking protects the entire bicycle from inclement weather and serves bicyclists who leave their
bicycles unattended for extended periods of time — such as employees.
Regardless of the type, all bicycle parking should meet the following criteria when practical:
• Accept U-shaped locks and cables;
• Include a bicycle maintenance station with bike pump and tools — one per building;
• Support the bicycle upright by its frame in two places;
• Prevent the wheel of the bicycle from tipping over;
• Enable the frame and one or both wheels to be secured;
• Anchored so it cannot be stolen with bicycles attached;
• Easily accessible from the road;
• Placed in public view or provide directional signs to the location of the bicycle parking;
• Spaced so as not to damage adjacent bicycles;
• Located in a convenient and secure location as close to the entrance of the building as possible,
without interfering with pedestrian pathways or access to doorways;
• Separated from vehicle parking to avoid damage.
In addition, the following criteria are desired and shall be considered with the project:
• Be well lit with occupancy sensors and LED lights;
• Be protected from weather.
The easiest way to provide long-term parking is to allow bicycles to be brought and stored inside the facility. If
this is not possible, the following are examples of options that can be considered:
• Bicycle locker — Fully enclosed container offering high level of security and weather protection.
• Bicycle racks in a nearby covered parking garage.
• Bicycle room — Locked room for storing bicycles, often with an access key or combination lock.
• Bicycle "cage" or shed — Fenced area enclosing parking bicycles, often with an access key or
combination lock.

respective issuing governing agency.
Changing Rooms, Showers and Lockers for City Employees
Providing changing rooms, showers and lockers can enable city employees to walk and bike longer distances
to work. They also benefit employees who walk, run or bike for fitness during their breaks.
While the provision of showers is not a mandatory aspect of this policy, they shall be fully considered at the
following suggested rates:

Where showers are provided, change rooms shall also be provided. They must be provided as either:
• A combined shower and change cubicle; or
• One communal change room for each gender, directly accessible from the showers for that gender
without passing through a public space.
Changing rooms and showers should strive to be conveniently located close to long-term bicycle parking
facilities or major building entrances. They should also be located to ensure that users and their belongings
have a high level of security. They should not be easily accessible by people who do not work in the building.
Lockers provide secure storage for bicyclists' clothes, footwear and towels. They should be:
• Provided at a minimum rate of one locker for each long-term bicycle parking space. Additional lockers
may also be provided to cater for walkers, joggers and other individuals who exercise at break times;
• Of suitable volume and dimensions to allow storage of clothing, towels, helmets and footwear — ideally
long enough to hang a skirt or shirt;
• Well ventilated, secure and lockable
• Positioned for safe and convenient access, preferable close to shower and changing facilities.
As with all modifications to public facilities, the City shall adhere to all American with Disability Act
requirements and applicable guidelines.

MEMORANDUM

Date: July 1, 2015
Re: Resolution approving Real Estate listing agreement for Industrial Park
Introduction
Earlier this year, we solicited proposals for Real Estate Broker Services to market and sell lots
at the 4201h Street Industrial Park. We received two responses to the request.
Background
From April, 2014 through March, 2015 we contracted with Binswanger, an industrial real estate
broker based in Minneapolis. During the contract year, there were few leads presented. Rather
than renew the contract with Binswanger, we issued a new request for proposals for these
services.
Binswanger responded with one of the two proposals received; Jeff Edberg with Lepic-Kroeger
Realtors in Iowa City submitted the other. Staff reviewed and evaluated the responses and
consulted on the merits of each.
Solution
Jeff Edberg's proposal was the strongest, due primarily to the 6% sales commission and the
offer of a 50% split if other realtors are involved in the sale. Binswanger's commission was also
6% but if other realtors were involved, they would require splitting an 8% commission.
Edberg has represented the City in other real estate listings, most recently completing the sales
of the last parcels in the City -owned North Aviation Commerce Park.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of a 12 month Real Estate listing agreement with Jeff Edberg of
Lepic-Kroeger Realtors.

Re:
End of Trip Facilities Policy
Introduction:
As part of the Blue Zones effort, Iowa City pledged numerous actions aimed to make our
community healthier. Among the multiple pledges was an end of trip facilities policy aimed at
encouraging walking and bicycling to key municipal buildings. Such a policy focuses on
accommodations such as short and long-term bicycle parking and shower and changing room
facilities for employees working at the building.
Discussion of Solutions:
The attached end of trip facilities policy was developed in conjunction with the local Blue Zones
community policy committee and has been approved by the Blue Zones state team. It focuses
on providing appropriate bicycle parking for short-term and long-term use by visitors and
employees. It also guides the city on use of changing rooms, showers and lockers for
employees. The policy recognizes the uniqueness of each public facility and provides the City
the flexibility to reduce or eliminate such requirements when the extenuating circumstances
exist or when a clear need does not exist.
Financial Impact:
The City already evaluates end of trip accommodations when planning new facilities. However,
this policy will strengthen the emphasis on those components and likely lead to additional
accommodations at new buildings. Such accommodations will vary in expense from project to
project, but will remain a small part of any overall budget.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of the policy as presented. Once adopted, staff will utilize the policy
to guide investments in future city projects.
