Following the first public hearing, a resolution to amend the FY2016 Operating Budget will be considered. Following the second public hearing, a resolution to adopt the FY2017 Operating Budget and a resolution to approve the FY2016-2018 Financial Plan and 2016-2020 Capital Improvement Plan document will be considered. The FY2017 adopted budget must be certified by the Johnson County Auditor's office by March 15, 2016. History/Background: The FY2016-2018 Financial Plan and 2016-2020 Capital Improvement Plan document was made available to City Council and the general public on December 18, 2015. This document incorporated the proposed FY2017 budget and the proposed budget amendments for FY2016 budget. This document details the proposed and amended budgets as submitted by the City Manager following an extensive budget process. The FY2016-2018 Financial Plan and 2016-2020 Capital Improvement Plan document were reviewed and discussed by the City Council at public work sessions held in January and February. During these budget work sessions, the City Manager and the department directors presented their budget proposals and responded to questions from City Council. The City Council's strategic plan and budget priorities were also clarified and refined during these work sessions which culminated in a number of changes to the financial and capital improvement plan documents. On February 2 and February 16, 2016, City Council reviewed these proposed changes to the three year financial plan and five year capital improvement plan document and their budgetary impact. Subsequently, City Council initiated further refinements to the financial plan and capital improvement plan document. These refinements included 1) the removal of $50,000 for one UniverCity home, and 2) the addition of $25,000 for a local foods initiative. The Notices of Public Hearing and related schedules for the FY2016 amended budget and FY2017 proposed budget represent the FY2016-2018 Financial Plan and 2016-2020 Capital Improvement Plan document and all of the subsequent changes that were implemented by the City Council. These Notices of Public Hearing and related schedules were made available to the public on February 12, 2016 and published in accordance with state law on February 19, 2016. February 18, 2016 Page 2 Financial Impact: Fiscal Year 2017 Proposed Budget On January 28, 2016, a memo from the City Manager summarizing the City Council's initial changes to the FY2016-2018 Financial Plan and 2016-2020 Capital Improvement Plan document and their budget impact was presented to the City Council. Attached is a copy of that memo. On February 2, additional adjustments were made by the City Council to the proposed FY2017 budget. The impact of these additional changes was an increase in the FY2017 estimated General Fund ending fund balance of $25,000. The financial impact is presented in the following chart: In the preparation of the final FY2017 budget forms, a few other modifications/corrections were also integrated by staff. The first modification was a minor adjustment of property tax revenues stemming from the final property tax values from the City Assessor. This modification reduced property tax revenues across all funds by a combined total of $20,577. The biggest impact of these valuation adjustments was a reduction of SSMID tax revenue of $9,576; however, this was offset by a corresponding reduction of expenditures. The Debt Service Fund's property tax revenues were reduced by $9,008 which had no corresponding reduction of expenditures. The General Fund had a net revenue reduction of $2,781, and the Employee Benefits Fund had a net revenue increase of $788. The overall net impact on the City budget of the property tax adjustments was a reduction of fund balance across all funds of $10,881. The other minor modification/correction was the transfer of a Special Project Engineer position from the Wastewater Fund to the General Fund. The relocation of this position was offset by a corresponding relocation of revenues which caused no change in fund balance for either fund. The final proposed property tax levy rate for FY2017 is $16.583 per $1,000 of taxable valuation; this is unchanged from the proposed levy rate presented in December. The FY2017 levy rate represents a .41% decrease from Iowa City's FY2016 levy rate of $16.651 per $1,000 of taxable valuation. Since fiscal year 2012, the City's property tax levy rate has decreased for five consecutive years by a total of $1.26 or 7.06%. Fiscal Year 2016 Revised Budget The FY2016 budget amendment presented for City Council approval is the second budget amendment of FY2016. This amendment incorporates all of the programs, changes, and updates that were presented in the financial plan and capital improvement plan document that was distributed to the City Council on December 18, 2015. The State of Iowa allows cities to amend the annual operating budget for supplemental appropriation authority. These changes may include new or revised revenue and expenditure projections, transfers between funds, and capital improvement plan changes. Increased expenditures must utilize available fund balance or additional revenue sources as the State does not allow amendments to increase property taxes. According to the City's financial policies, amendments to operating budgets will be made only in the following situations: • emergency situations • transfer from contingency • expenditures with offsetting revenues or fund balance • carry-over of prior year budget authority for expenses that had not been paid as of the end of the fiscal year. Increase/(Decrease) in Fund Balance Remove one UniverCity House $ 50,000 Add Local Foods Initiative $ (25,000) Net General Fund Impact $ 25,000 In the preparation of the final FY2017 budget forms, a few other modifications/corrections were also integrated by staff. The first modification was a minor adjustment of property tax revenues stemming from the final property tax values from the City Assessor. This modification reduced property tax revenues across all funds by a combined total of $20,577. The biggest impact of these valuation adjustments was a reduction of SSMID tax revenue of $9,576; however, this was offset by a corresponding reduction of expenditures. The Debt Service Fund's property tax revenues were reduced by $9,008 which had no corresponding reduction of expenditures. The General Fund had a net revenue reduction of $2,781, and the Employee Benefits Fund had a net revenue increase of $788. The overall net impact on the City budget of the property tax adjustments was a reduction of fund balance across all funds of $10,881. The other minor modification/correction was the transfer of a Special Project Engineer position from the Wastewater Fund to the General Fund. The relocation of this position was offset by a corresponding relocation of revenues which caused no change in fund balance for either fund. The final proposed property tax levy rate for FY2017 is $16.583 per $1,000 of taxable valuation; this is unchanged from the proposed levy rate presented in December. The FY2017 levy rate represents a .41% decrease from Iowa City's FY2016 levy rate of $16.651 per $1,000 of taxable valuation. Since fiscal year 2012, the City's property tax levy rate has decreased for five consecutive years by a total of $1.26 or 7.06%.

February 18, 2016 Page 3 Since the distribution of the plan document, the following additional amendments have been proposed: • Special Project Engineer transferred from Wastewater to General Fund — net impact is no increase in revenues or expenditures • CDBG grant revenues increased by $847,000 and expenditures increased by $878,964 • HOME grant revenues increased by $593,509 and expenditures increased by $593,509 • Court/Linn developer contribution of $1,000,000 to an Affordable Housing Fund • Elimination of Fairchild brick street reconstruction for $325,000 and related transfer from the Road Use Tax Fund • Elimination of 1-80 Landscaping improvements for $75,000 and related transfer from the Road Use Tax Fund • Increase in Housing Authority voucher program revenues of $476,856 and expenditures of $578,512 • Addition of Wastewater emergency boiler repair of $50,000 The proposed budget amendment to the City's FY2016 budget does not increase property taxes or change the property tax levy rate and is being funded from increased revenues or available fund balance. Recommendation: Staff recommendation is to individually approve the resolutions to 1) amend the FY2016 Operating Budget, 2) adopt the FY2017 Operating Budget, and 3) approve the FY2016-2018 Financial Plan and the 2016 — 2020 Capital Improvement Plan. CITY OF IOWA CITY MEMORANDUM Date: January 28, 2016 To: City Council From: Thomas M. Markus, City Manager Re: Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Proposed Budget Revisions Introduction: At the January 21, 2016 City Council work session, Council requested a number of items be added, removed, or modified in the fiscal year 2016-2017 proposed budget. Staff has summarized these revisions, the effect on the tax levy rate and/or fund balance, and which fund the respective revisions affect. Working backward from the State required March 15 budget certification date, the public hearing for the budget will be set at the February 16 City Council meeting. Accordingly, state budget forms will be prepared by the Finance Department on February 9. Staff intends to proceed with these revisions unless further specific direction from Council is given at the February 2 meeting. Further discussion of the budget by Council after the February 2 meeting will require the scheduling of an additional meeting prior to February 9. However, there is an opportunity to amend the budget during the fiscal year. There is also a contingency line item for unforeseen circumstances. Background: Below is a table of the revisions to the proposed budget that Council requested. Additions Onaratinn Rnrinat Bookmobile $112,534 Residential/Commercial On -Off Street Parking Study $50,000 Affordable housing form base code, missing middle $125,000 Business incentives for persons of color and youth employment $50,000 Street tree planting program/tree inventory $75,000 Racial equity funding -grant program $25,000 Housing market analysis for University impact zone $70,000 Add 2 UniverCit homes $100,000 Carbon emissions reduction project 1 $100,000 1 February 4, 2016 Page 2 Complete Streets Study $50,000 Affordable housing construction project _ $1,000,000 Frauenholtz-Miller park development $150,000 Deletions Fairchild brick street reconstruction $375,000 1-80 Aesthetic improvements $100,000 Total $1,482,534 These programs affect a number of different funds and revenue sources. Below is a description of how each is to be worked into the operational budget and the effect on the tax levy rate or fund balance. A table summarizing the aggregate effects is attached to this memo. General Fund Library Bookmobile Staffing The budget estimate for this item assumes $10,000 in member contributions, a full fiscal year of expenses, and the personnel costs of the position at step 6 of the pay plan. Property tax dollars are the most appropriate funding source for this item. Generally, it is sound financial policy to avoid using one-time revenue or fund balance for ongoing operational expenses. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) best practices note that, "A true structurally balanced budget is one that supports financial sustainability for multiple years into the future," and that budgets should, "be structurally balanced, where recurring revenues equal or exceed recurring expenditures." A budget that uses reserves to fund an ongoing expense is not truly balanced. Thus, the property tax levy is used to fund the additional Library staff position as this is an ongoing operational expense. The effect to the property tax levy is $0.03105. Despite the fact that the first year of bookmobile operations will not require a full fiscal year of expenditures, it is preferable to levy for a full fiscal year of expenditures to avoid requiring another levy rate increase for the same program next year. Excess property tax revenue in the first fiscal year can help fund some of the one-time expenses below. The other budget revisions herein are presented as one-time expenditures and thus use fund balance. If these become annual operating expenses in the future they will be moved to the property tax levy accordingly, or other offsetting expenditure reductions will be proposed. Affordable Housing Form Based Code; Missing Middle Business incentives for Persons of Color and Youth Employment Housing Market Analysis/University Impact Area February 4, 2016 Page 3 Two Additional UniverCity Homes Racial Equity Grant Program - Human Rights Commission These five items will be budgeted using General Fund balance. The budget assumes a 50% cost share by the University for the housing market analysis; the City's portion would be $35,000. The Human Rights Commission would be an appropriate board to administer the racial equity grant program, which is conceived to be similar to the Aid to Agencies process. The existing Micro Enterprise loan guarantee program, which has been little used, has also been removed from the budget. The total effect on General Fund balance for these five new items, less the reduction in the loan guarantee program is budgeted at $260,000. The UniverCity program incurs significantly higher expenses than the $50,000 per house budget presented here, however, there is offsetting revenue when the homes are sold. Though most of the budget items are presented with gross expenditure and revenue numbers, for this program we have shown the net effect of $100,000 so as not to skew the discussion. Street Tree Planting/Tree Inventory A comprehensive tree inventory would greatly improve an aggressive street tree planting program. This inventory would include street trees and parks with the intention of identifying deficient areas in our tree canopy and help the City meet our biodiversity goals. Adhering to our tree species diversification standards with an aggressive planting program will best be accomplished with a strong inventory. Diversifying tree species is an important safeguard against future disease or invasive species problems as we are currently experiencing with the emerald ash borer. Similar to our sidewalk network inventory, a tree inventory will help us complete work in a systematic, more effective manner. We are also experiencing difficulty meeting our species diversity standards with local suppliers. A more detailed accounting of the species in our existing canopy may allow us to work with suppliers to acquire more trees of appropriate species. The estimated cost of the inventory is approximately $100,000. With existing resources, outside funding, and the additional $75,000 Council added for tree planting, in fiscal year 2017 there should be resources available to complete the inventory and still address some important street corridors with plantings. A more aggressive planting schedule using the full $75,000 and with the benefit of the inventory would begin in year two. This program will be funded using General Fund balance. Given that the inventory would include parks, the General Fund is a more appropriate funding source than the February 4, 2016 Page 4 Road Use Tax fund. As an offset, equivalent costs from Forestry will be transferred from the General Fund to the Road Use Tax Fund. Parkinq Fund Residential/Commercial On and Off Street Parking Study This study will be funding using Parking Fund balance. Reserves can absorb this expenditure. Road Use Tax Fund Complete Streets Study Fairchild Brick Street Reconstruction 1-80 Aesthetic Improvements The Road Use Tax fund is healthy after the recent increase in the motor fuel tax. The Complete Streets study is an appropriate use of Road Use Tax fund dollars. Freeing up road use tax dollars by eliminating the Fairchild portion of the brick street project and the 1-80 Aesthetic Improvement project allowed us to budget for two other projects without borrowing. The Burlington/Madison Intersection project and Prentiss Street Bridge project are now shown to be funded with road use tax dollars rather than general obligation bonds. The net result on the Road Use Tax fund balance from these changes is an increase of approximately $75,000. Affordable Housing Fund Affordable Housing Project This project is slated to be funded through the proceeds of the affordable housing payment from the developer CA Ventures for the RISE project at the Court/Linn site. As this expenditure already has a corresponding revenue source, there is no effect on other fund balances or the property tax levy rate. Debt Service Fund Carbon Emissions Reduction Project This project is slated to be funded with general obligation bonds. Frauenholtz-Miller Park February 4, 2016 Page 5 This project has been moved up to 2017. Staff evaluated moving this project to 2016, however, neighborhood meetings, design, and bidding of this project in 2016 is not feasible. There are also a number of other park projects planned for 2016 that already have materials and equipment ordered or use development funds that have time restrictions. Contractor bids also tend to be more favorable to the City with a less truncated time table. Burlington/Madison Intersection Prentiss Street Bridge As noted above, these two projects were removed from a planned general obligation bond issue and instead will be funded with road use tax dollars that were made available with the removal of the Fairchild and 1-80 projects. The costs of projects in the Debt Service Fund are spread out over a number of years. The fiscal year 2017 impact of the changes noted above is a minimal decrease in the Debt Service Fund balance of approximately $3,000. Fund Balance Summary As noted above, the effect on the property tax levy of these revisions is $0.03105. Fund balances for the affected funds are presented in the table below with figures before and after the revisions. A more detailed summary of all of the budget revisions is attached.

I am a volunteer with The Antelope Lending Library and have seen the value of taking books to our community, in particular those children and individuals least able to enjoy the fruits of our downtown library. I am a strong supporter of both libraries. However, I feel that our tax dollars would best be served by working together with this existing non- profit service rather than duplicating what they already offer with a new and far more expensive venture. Please consider honoring the hard work of the people of The Antelope Lending Library by working with them to continue to provide books and literacy services in our community. Thank you, Ellen Van Laere Flo Marian Karr From: daniel@humanistinquiries.org Sent: Sunday, February 28, 2016 3:03 PM To: Council Subject: Bookmobile Dear Council Members: I have read about the upcoming discussion on a new bookmobile offered through the ICPL, and was curious regarding the extent to which this bookmobile will duplicate the existing services being offered by the Antelope Lending Library. Having seen the work of Antelope and its staff, which seem to be aligned with the library's values of increasing literacy and access to reading material, I am hopeful that whatever comes of the ICPL bookmobile project will be done in tandem with Antelope --or even that funds that would be used toward duplication could instead be offered as a way of enhancing what Antelope does. Thanks much, Daniel Boscaljon Marian Karr From: Patricia Katopol <pkatopol@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, February 28, 2016 4:13 PM To: Council Subject: ICPL / Antelope Lending Library issue Patricia Katopol, PhD 936 23' Ave Unit H Coralville, IA 52241 Patricia-katopol(a,uiowa. edu February 27, 2016 Iowa City Council Re: Antelope Lending Library Members of the City Council: My name is Patricia Katopol. I was an assistant professor in the University of Iowa School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) when Cassi Elton, Director of the Antelope Lending Library, was a student in the program. I taught the management course at SLIS and for the past few years have had a regular column on management issues in Library Leadership & Management. When she was a student, Ms. Elton came to me for advice on starting a new library, initially to be situated in Sycamore Mall. While I thought her passion for bringing a library to an underserved community was laudable, I was concerned that Ms. Elton was taking on a project that not only would be overwhelming, but might not be needed by Iowa City. I could not have been more wrong. In the years that the Antelope Lending Library has operated, Ms. Elton not only found a mobile library truck when the mall space was not a possibility, but has continuously obtained grant funding, supporter donations, and volunteers to keep the library going. She has partnered with the Iowa Youth Writing Project to bring writing experiences to library patrons who might not have them otherwise. Antelope Lending Library reaches a population that is minimally served by the Iowa City Public Library. My former students are librarians in public, academic, and corporate libraries across the state of Iowa. Some are library directors. I am proud of all of them, but in my opinion, Cassi Elton has outdone each of them in embodying the initiative, service, and community engagement we expect of Iowa librarians. She saw a need — the lack of library services in Iowa City communities — and she filled it with little to no assistance from the very organization that now seeks to build on her success. I do not believe that the Iowa City Public Library should be able to take limited city funds to recreate what Ms. Elton already provides. I encourage the City Council to consider the work Ms. Elton has already accomplished in this area and to include her voice in any discussion of mobile library service in Iowa City. Sincerely, Patricia Katopol p k� Marian Karr From: Heather Young <rhyoung05@earthl ink. net> Sent: Sunday, February 28, 2016 5:48 PM To: Council Subject: Bookmobile funding Date: February 28, 2016 To: Iowa City Council cc: Iowa City Press -Citizen, Letters To The Editor From: Heather Young, Iowa City resident RE: City Council Funding for Proposed Bookmobile I was dismayed to see at the recent Iowa City Council work meeting, held on February 16, 2016, that my elected city council members said that they were fine with paying for a new bookmobile for Iowa City, along with funding staff salary to run the bookmobile. As many of the council members stated, I too love the public library. I love all public libraries. I also love parks and recreation, sanitation services, public transportation, public road maintenance and every other tax payer funded program. What I DON'T like as a taxpayer is wasting public monies on duplicate services. Iowa City already has a bookmobile. We have had one for 3 years. The Antelope Lending Library was started by people who recognized the unmet need for additional library services in Iowa City. Antelope Lending is a non-profit running on a shoe -string budget because the Iowa City Public Library has repeatedly chosen to ignore the needs of the underserved populations in our city. In the above referenced work meeting, city council member Rockne Cole said that the Antelope Lending Library and the Public Library provide "apples and oranges services," I believe referring to a letter sent by Robin Patetzold, Iowa City Library Board President to the City Council on February 5, 2016 where Robin wrote, "I have heard the argument that the local Little Free Library corner stands and nonprofits can address these needs through free and donated used books. Our proposed bookmobile services are not the same as saying to a child who asks to read the popular new book that their classmates has that it hasn't been donated or to a neighbor without a car that their interests are not a priority. " Yes, to date, the Antelope Lending Library has used donated books to provide their free community services. That has only come about because the leadership at the Iowa City Public Library has rebuffed repeated attempts for partnering with the Antelope Lending Library. It is only an Apples and Oranges situation because the powers that be at our public library want it that way. As a tax payer who works damn hard for my money, I expect better from my public servants. I expect adults in leadership to rise above their petty, self-serving wants and to use my money in the most effective ways possible. Paying for a new bookmobile, ongoing maintenance and staff salary for in perpetuity, at a time when the city desperately needs personnel in other departments, is egregious waste. The only thing stopping a public/non- profit partnership between the public library and the Antelope Lending Library is the attitudes of people in leadership at the public library. If there are to be sacrifices made to pay for a bookmobile service, may I suggest they come from removing public library personnel who are unwilling to play nicely with existing community programs in our fine Iowa City?

Thank you, Cassi Cassandra Elton Library Director Antelope Lending Library antelopelendin lig brM.or Dear Iowa City Councilors, ANTELOPE LENDING LIBRARY February 26, 2016 My name is Cassandra Elton and 1 am the founder and Library Director of the Antelope Lending Library bookmobile. There has been a lot of confusion in recent council debates about my organization and the services that we offer, and I'd like to offer some clarification. Antelope Lending Library only offers "event -based" services. We actually have regular, weekly stops lasting from 1-3 hours depending on the site. Our first year of service we had 6 regular stops which have grown to 11 stops in 2015. We are in the process of adding even more stops in 2016. In the summer of 2015, we spent an average of 25 hours/week offering library services at these regularly scheduled stops. Those hours do not include travel, preparation, planning of our activities, collection management, or one-time events. We had nearly 4000 visitors to our bookmobile in 2015. 2, Antelope Lending Library only serves the southeast side of Iowa City. When we first started, the southeast side was our focus. We still have many stops on that side of town, including the Mercer Park Farmers' Market, Grant Wood Elementary, and Wetherby Park, but we also have stops in other areas, such as North Market Square Park, Creekside Park, Hills Elementary, and Cole's Mobile Home Community, among others. Antelope Lending Library only operates during the summer. In the past, this has been true. We identified summer as a time when children no longer have access to their school libraries, but due to a variety of reasons cannot make it downtown to the public library. We intentionally partner with summer programs and stop at local parks where children and families gather to offer our services in a convenient location. However, in 2015, we extended one of our stops at a local elementary school into the school year, partnering with the before and after school program, recognizing that this is a group of students who again do not have MAILING ADDRESS PHONE EMAIL WEB PO Box 1595, Iowa City, Iowa 52244 319-343-6872 Cassandra@AntelopeLendingLibrary.org AntelopeLendingLibrary.org access to their school library during that time and would benefit from additional literacy opportunities. We also added a new stop at the Center for Worker Justice, offering literacy activities and book check out to families attending the center for English Language classes. Antelope Lending Library only has donated books in their collection. It's true that the majority of the books in our collection are donated books. We have been overwhelmed by the generosity and support of members of our community in donating materials to share with others. However, we recognize that it is important to have a well-rounded collection and so we have applied for and received grants specifically to buy newer books and specific titles for our collection. We received our first such grant from the City of Iowa City in 2013 and have received several others since, enabling us to expand our collection to include things like popular titles and bilingual and Spanish books. Antelope Lending Library only offers book check out. At all but one of our stops we offer both book check out and literacy activities. We work to make learning fun and get kids and families excited about reading. We recognize that putting a book in a child's hand is not enough to get them reading; you need to help give them the tools to read, and introduce them to a variety of different books so they can choose the ones that interest them. We also give away books to children and families at the end of each summer season for them to take home and help build their home libraries. Since our founding, thousands of books have gone into the hands of kids who need them most thanks to our organization and the generosity of people in our community. b Antelope Lending Library is run solely by untrained volunteers. It's true that our organization is all volunteer run, but we are far from untrained. I myself have a Master's degree in Library and Information Science from the University of Iowa. Braeden Jones, the Assistant Director, is a PhD candidate at the University in Spanish Literature with years of teaching experience. Our other volunteers are former educators, teachers in training at the University, local writers, and library students. The Iowa City Public Library has been in open communication with and supportive of the Antelope Lending Library. I have reached out to ICPL on multiple occasions since 2012 in an effort to start a conversation about the services our two organizations offer. I have offered ride alongs for their librarians to see the services that we are providing and requested meetings for opportunities to brainstorm ways we could coordinate services. The most coordination that ICPL has offered between our existing bookmobile and their proposed one was from a meeting in February 2015 where they said that they would accept book returns for us and asked that we do the same for them. In January 2016, we were asked by a member of the City Council to put together a proposal for what a partnership between ourselves and ICPL could look like, which we were happy to provide and which was shared with the council and the library. The library never contacted us directly about the proposal and when I contacted them I was directed to go through the council instead. I hope that this helps clarify the misconceptions that have been circulating about our organization. Our proposal to the council in January 2016 was just one idea of what a public/private partnership between the Antelope Lending Library and the Iowa City Public Library could look like. There are any number of configurations that a public/private partnership between our two organizations could take, and I eagerly await an invitation from the library to participate in such a discussion. We will be celebrating National Bookmobile Day on April 13th from 5:30-7:30 at Mercer Park in partnership with other community organizations and would like to invite all of you to come celebrate with us.1 am happy to answer any further questions the council or the public library may have about our organization, the work we have been doing or the work we will continue to do in our community either via email, phone, or at that event.

This partnership would save the city money and enable services to start immediately, without having to wait up to 18 months for the ICPL vehicle to be built and delivered. I have had the good fortune of patronizing the Antelope Lending Library (ALL). I was so impressed with ALL's staff and collection (which truly meets the needs of the community) that I became a volunteer. Since 2013, ALL has reached people who cannot or will not patronize the Iowa City Public Library. It has partnered with the Iowa City Framers' Markets and Iowa City Parks Department as well as the Iowa Youth Writing Program. I have seen first hand the overwhelming positive response that the different Iowa City neighborhoods have toward ALL; Iowa City families have made ALL a part of their educational routine. The city should be working to partner with existing organizations to expand services to those in our community who need them most. I strongly believe that the city needs to partner with the Antelope Lending Library and refrain from duplicating a service that already exists. Unfortunately, I am unable to make it to the city council session this Tuesday, March 1st. However, I would be happy to speak further about my opinion on this matter and can be reached by phone 630-945-7807. Best, Catherine Blauvelt Marian Karr From: Katie Heffner <katiehQamesgangic.com> Sent: Monday, February 29, 2016 3:34 PM To: Council Subject: Bookmobile Dear esteemed members of the City Council, My name is Kathryn Heffner Ross, and I am a resident of Iowa City, a pre -service educator studying at the University of Iowa, and an engaged community member. In addition to attending the University of Iowa, I am a volunteer and board member of the James Gang, a non-profit organization that assists community organizations. I am passionate about issues of education, equity and social justice. Today, I am asking you to reconsider the proposed funding for the Iowa City Public Library's intention of purchasing a bookmobile and offering services in the community. As a person who believes in providing educational opportunities for our community, especially to underserved populations, I believe that funding ICPL's bookmobile project would do more harm than good in our community. ICPL has refused to work in collaboration with an already existing organization, The Antelope Lending Library. Cassi Elton and Braeden Jones began the Antelope Lending Library in 2013, providing access to books and literary materials to communities where access to ICPL is difficult. Their organization has worked meticulously with numerous organizations within the community, strengthening the services that they provide. On any given stop on their route, the Antelope Lending Library provides book recommendations and check out, a story time, an engagement activity, and sometimes a snack. These educational opportunities that they provide to the community are incredibly beneficial, especially evident in the way that young children squeal in delight when the bookmobile comes to `visit.' Much of Antelope Lending Library's success has been strengthened by community bonds, and working with organizations and individuals in the community. The Iowa City Public Library has shown a commitment to not pursuing a relationship with the Antelope Lending Library. The ICPL believes that providing mobile services to the community and not working with established community organizations will result in success. They are wrong. It is egocentric and ethnocentric for ICPL to believe that they can purchase a bookmobile and begin to offer services to a community that they has previously ignored and devalued. If the ICPL has chosen not to work with a successful community organization, how will ICPL work with the children and citizens it proposes to offer services to? As a pre -service teacher, I understand the importance of working with individuals within the community before I begin to effect change. I am also aware of how crucial it is to be mentored by a person who has more experience, knowledge and wisdom than me, in order to ensure my future success. I am asking the City Council to reconsider the proposed funding of ICPL's plan to purchase a Bookmobile until members of the Iowa City Public Library can realize that a partnership with already established organization will work best but for the community. Sincerely, Kathryn Heffner Ross Marian Karr From: kalmia strong <kalmia.strong@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, February 29, 2016 3:53 PM To: Council Subject: letter regarding ICPL Bookmobile budget item To the City Council, I am writing as a citizen of Iowa City, an advocate of increasing equitable access to public cultural and educational resources, and a professionally -trained librarian to urge you to, in considering the budget item for a new ICPL bookmobile service, give Antelope Lending Library a voice in this discussion and an opportunity to collaborate on this project. I love the ICPL and strongly support public funding of its work, especially with regard to increasing access to library services for communities far from downtown. I'm delighted that there is movement towards a publicly - supported bookmobile service. However, given that there is an existing non-profit bookmobile service (Antelope) with strong community support, I would encourage a conversation on how a partnership or collaboration on a city -supported bookmobile project could take shape. A collaboration could not only save money and allow ICPL's bookmobile plans to move forward more quickly, but would set a great example of public-private partnership that values the forward-looking community work of organizations such as Antelope instead of creating a situation of unnecessary competition. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Thank you! Dear City Council, This is a letter of support on behalf of the Antelope Lending Library, urging you to reconsider your upcoming decision to allocate $100,000 annually for the Iowa City Public library bookmobile. Antelope Lending Library has been, and is providing, bookmobile services to a wide array of communities in need. A vote in favor of this funding would represent a lost opportunity to support a local grassroots organizations, as well as result in duplication of services, thereby providing a barrier for two young professionals who have been tirelessly working on this labor of love to better our community for purely intrinsic motives. Is a bookmobile a great cause to support, especially for a UNESCO city of literature? Absolutely- but I strongly encourage you to consider how much will be gained from choosing to fund the library compared to what will be lost in not choosing to instead collaborate with Antelope. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Luke Benson MI - Marian • ..

Many of the kids I work with use the Antelope Lending Library and express their pleasure with the current services, but would like more frequent visits... Duplication of existing services, in this time of tight budgets seems to be less than wise. Could you consider partnering with the Antelope Lending Library? I would ask that you re-evaluate this plan. Thank you!

Its founders and operators have worked tirelessly and generously to maintain services and appropriate collections for their patrons. As a result, the bookmobile has consistently filled gaps in literacy needs, in summer programming, and in community building for several years. The Iowa City Public Library's proposal to build their own bookmobile would be a duplication in services for the Iowa City Community. Rather than expending over $100,000 per year in city funds as well as the initial investment, does it not make more sense for the City Council to support an extant program through a partnership with the Antelope Lending Library? The current staff already have the facility and expertise necessary and would gladly partner with the City. The partnership would not only continue to benefit the community, but would also save the City thousands of dollars per year. Please give the Antelope Lending Library your fullest consideration as you plan the best use of City funds for the upcoming fiscal year. Thank you for your time.

The Antelope Lending Library has already been providing excellent bookmobile services throughout Iowa City. The Antelope lending Library is a gorgeous state -of -the art library on wheels. My two young children love spending time inside. Cassie Elton and Braeden Jones provide excellent programming, and make a huge effort to bring the bookmobile to areas of Iowa City with the greatest need for their services. They are passionate about what they do. I find it curious that the Antelope's services have gone overlooked by the Iowa City Public Library. I ask you to reconsider your vote to approve the ICPL bookmobile funding in favor of a public/private partnership with the Antelope Lending Library. This would both save the city money and enable services to start immediately, without having to wait up to 18 months for the ICPL vehicle to be built and delivered. A bookmobile run by the ICPL is a duplication of services already existing in the community. Our city should be working to partner with existing organizations to expand services to those in our community who need them most. I ask you to please share this letter at your meeting.

Johnson Iowa City, IA 52245 February 29, 2016 To the Members of the City Council of Iowa City, I understand you are considering the purchase and operation of a bookmobile for the Iowa City Public Library. I am writing to urge you to avoid needless duplication of services by also considering a strategic partnership with the non-profit Antelope Lending Library One of the reasons I chose to move back to Iowa City after nearly a decade was our excellent library. I've found the collection and the wide array of services most impressive and I am an active library user. Iowa City is blessed with talented librarians and volunteers with a keen interest in serving the entire community. In short, I am a fan. Yet, I feel an opportunity would be missed if a new bookmobile was approved without an earnest willingness to strategically engage the Antelope Lending Library. Last year, I organized a community cooperative effort called Ride for Reading, which brought together community resources and volunteers to provide free books to the kids of Alexander Elementary. One of the project's most active and engaged partners was the Antelope Lending Library. In fact, they provided most of the books given away that day. They also provided excitement by driving the bookmobile to the school. Throughout the entire planning process the folks with Antelope proved themselves to be excellent partners; I know they could be excellent partners with the Iowa City Public Library as well. Duplication of services should be a concern for every community. Before moving forward with the purchase of a ICPL bookmobile, 1 hope you will recommend the library start a heartfelt strategic partnership with the Antelope Lending Library. The result will likely be stronger community relations and library services, and savings in city resources. I hope you look to the Antelope Lending Library as a potential partner. They serve Iowa City well and they deserve that consideration.

Best, Lisa Roberts Iowa Youth Writing Project Iowa Youth Writing Project Dear City Council Members, I write as a representative of the Iowa Youth Writing Project (IYWP) to offer our organization's perspective on the allocation of funds for the purchase of a new bookmobile for the Iowa City Public Library. The IYWP has worked closely with both the ICPL and Antelope Lending Library, our area's current bookmobile, and we have great respect for the way in which both libraries have worked to nurture literacy in the greater Iowa City area. We would like to support any measures that the Iowa City Council takes to encourage a close partnership between ICPL and Antelope, so that there is no duplication of services or waste of financial and human resources. Antelope has been offering outreach library services for four years now to underserved populations in our area yet has had little funding. ICPL seeks to extend its reach to those same underserved citizens and is in the position now to win a substantial amount of funding to do so. Could both organizations form a community partnership, one in which Antelope's deep insights born of hands-on experience could be combined with ICPL's substantial administrative and financial infrastructure? Could the two organizations work together in order to ensure that as many citizens as possible are reached, for as many months of the year, without a wasteful duplication of services? Perhaps other patterns of partnership will become clear once these two organizations with aligned missions begin working closely together. Thank you for your time and we all look forward to learning of your decision.

I am traveling and unable to attend the council meeting on March 1 to comment publicly on this aspect of the budget. Please consider this email in lieu of a statement at your meeting. I want to emphasize two points. The proposed ICPL Bookmobile represents a strong private — public partnership. The Friends Foundation raised approximately half of the funding for the purchase of the Bookmobile from private donors and their contributions are sequestered awaiting City approval of the remainder of the funding needed to purchase the vehicle. The Friends Foundation is committed to raising private funds to support a share of operational costs for the Bookmobile. For the coming year, the ICPL Library Board of Trustees has approved the use of a portion of the Friends Foundation contribution to library operations to fund Bookmobile staffing for 16 hours per week. As we talk with donors, we find that they respond positively to extending the reach of the library to all neighborhoods, particularly the potential to make the library available to more children throughout the community. The Bookmobile concept originated in community -wide discussions that were part of the ICPL's strategic planning process. In partnership with library board and staff, private citizens prioritized the Bookmobile as a way to assure library access to children and adults across the community. 2. The Bookmobile will provide access to the full continuum of services provided by the ICPL. I understand that the Antelope Lending Library has advanced a competing proposal requesting that the Council invest funds in their services rather than the ICPL Bookmobile. While I think that citizens and especially children should benefit from access to reading materials in all available venues, I strongly encourage the Council to invest its resources in the ICPL's Bookmobile. This is the most cost effective method to extend the library's entire collection and services to citizens throughout the community. Thank you for your consideration.

I attended the discussion on February 16 and appreciated your words and your votes in addressing inequities in our community related to library access. I regret that I cannot attend the meeting tonight when I understand the final vote will be taken due to a family emergency. As we have shared, the Bookmobile project was developed after an extensive strategy period when the ICPL brought in a professional and objective consultant to examine our current state of operations and help us assess the community's priorities for our service. Access to the Library remained a challenge for many members of our community and we strongly believed that our core mission could best be met by reaching out to the community beyond our main building. The Bookmobile approach is the most cost effective and flexible manner to do this as it would allow us to bring a wide range of services to diverse communities (including those facing mobility challenges, facing economic challenges, families without cars and not able to access public transportation, children out of school, and more) and to avoid the cost and burden that a branch library would create. Due diligence has been done to investigate the need for broader services and the practicality of our strategy. Private and public partnerships were strengthened allowing us to raise funds to help support this new initiative and we are grateful to the many individual and organizational donors supporting our Library Foundation. Their commitment shows the level of trust in our organization to do this job the right way and to encourage full use of our services by their neighbors. As a public entity, we have a mission to serve and a community to hold us accountable. We are not owned and run by individuals- we are the community. And we are committed to serving all of our constituents. Again, thank you for your commitment to this public/partnership to work towards increasing access to those citizens with challenges coming to our building. I strongly believe that the most vulnerable in our community should receive preferential treatment. I believe that reaching out to these neighborhoods through the Bookmobile is essential to the goal.
