Date: April 8, 2016
To: Geoff Fruin, Interim City Manager
From: Juli Seydell Johnson, Parks & Recreation Director
Re: Maintenance Worker I — Parks, Updated Job Title
Included on the April 19, 2016 Council Agenda is a resolution to rename one Maintenance
Worker I position in Park Maintenance from `Parks Maintenance Worker I — Parks" to 'Parks
Maintenance Worker I — Athletic Fields" in order to distinguish the work duties and requirements
for this functional area. This is a budget neutral action. Job descriptions including requirements
for hire are similar for the positions, but focused on the types of facilities and parks maintained.
No new positions are being created with this action.
The Maintenance Worker I - Parks positions have primary work hours in the evenings and
weekends in order to provide better service to park users during these high use times. The
Maintenance Worker 1 — Athletic Fields also works through the weekend, but with a primary
focus on athletic field maintenance. The job descriptions for the athletic field position includes
certifications, experience and duties specific to athletic field maintenance.

Re: Change to Permit System for Downtown Alley Dumpsters
Introduction: At the April 19, 2016 City Council meeting, consideration will be given to a
resolution adopting a new permit system for solid waste containers in downtown alleys.
History/background: Currently the City of Iowa City regulates the permit process for
allowing dumpsters and other solid waste containers in the alleys in downtown Iowa City. There
is currently no limit to the number of haulers that can place containers in the alleys as long as
they pay the annual $50 permit fee. The annual permits are valid from June 1 — May 31. There
are requirements placed on the duration, insurance levels, cleaning process lids, etc. through
the City's policy for solid waste containers in the downtown alleys.
Discussion of Solution: This change will alter the valid permit dates to June 1 —
December 31, reduce the fee to $25 and reduce the cleaning requirements to one time from the
current requirement of two. These steps are being taken to allow the City to put out an RFP to
change the process for alley container hauling in an effort to consolidate and reduce the number
of solid waste containers in the alleys while also enhancing the services provided to include
recycling, composting, grease hauling, etc.
Recommendation: It is the recommendation of Transportation and Resource Management
staff that this resolution be approved in order to allow for the process to be put in place to
change our downtown solid waste container hauling processes.

Re: Heavy Duty Bus Purchase
Introduction: At the April 19, 2016 City Council meeting, consideration will be given to a
resolution authorizing the purchase of eight (8) heavy duty buses from Gillig LLC for the
Transportation & Resource Management Department.
History/background: Iowa City currently is equipped with 27 heavy duty buses in our transit
fleet. The eight buses up for replacement include one 1989 model year bus and seven 1997
model year buses. These units typically have a useful life of 12 - 15 years.
Discussion of Solution: A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued by the Iowa Department of
Transportation, which named the City of Iowa City as one of the agencies authorized to make
purchases from this RFP. The City of Iowa City was awarded Federal Transit Administration
grants for replacement of these vehicles that cover roughly 80% of the cost of the replacement
vehicles.
Financial Impact: The cost of replacing the four light duty buses is $3,556,336 with Iowa City
being responsible for the local match equating to $711,268. These funds will come from the
Transportation & Resource Management Department bus replacement reserve.
Recommendation: It is the recommendation of the Transportation & Resource Management
Department to authorize the purchase of replacement heavy duty vehicles to Gillig LLC.

Date: April 12, 2016
To: Geoff Fruin, Interim City Manager
From: Jul! Seydell Johnson, Director of Parks and Recreation
Re: Consider a resolution authorizing application for funding from the State of Iowa
(HRDP) for the Restoration of the log cabins in upper City Park.
Introduction: This application will help fund the restoration of the Old Settlers'
Association Log Cabins in Upper City Park, listed on the National Register of Historic
Places in June of 2013.
H !story/Backg round: These cabins are the last surviving structures built by the
Johnson County Old Settlers. Restoration is necessary that they continue to serve as a
social and educational resource for Iowa City residents, students and organizations.
When the current restoration campaign is completed, plans call for the cabins once
again to be used by community members and organizations for meetings, events and
learning opportunities.
Discussion of Solution: Apply for funding assistance through the Iowa State Historical
Resource Development Program.
Financial Impact: If awarded this HRDP grant, the City of Iowa City will match funds
through GO Bonds in CIP project R4187.
Recommendation: Approve resolution authorizing City staff to make application for
funding assistance from the State Historical Society of Iowa, Historical Resource
Development Program for the restoration of the log cabins in Upper City Park.

MEMORANDUM
To: Geoff Fruin, Interim City Manager
From: Dennis Bockenstedt, Finance Director
Re: New Position in Revenue
Introduction:
The Revenue Division is responsible for the customer service, billing, and collection procedures
for 26,000 City of Iowa City utility accounts and 200 Landfill accounts. Staff responsible for
these functions include 1 Revenue & Risk Manager and 5 Customer Service Representatives.
A Customer Service Representative is retiring at the end of April and the Revenue Division
proposes eliminating one Customer Service Representative position and adding an Utility Billing
Coordinator position.
History/Background:
In March of 2015, the City converted from an internally written and highly customized utility
billing software to a third party utility billing software as part of the City wide ERP solution. Also
implemented at that time were a new cashiering system and a new online software. The weekly
utility billing process that was previously automated has become a manual process. Staff is
now also responsible for system setup and maintenance, working with Munis technical support
when problems arise, testing system upgrades, and training end users. These new job duties
require a technical aptitude and software support experience that was not previously required.
Staff is recommending creating a new Utility Billing Coordinator AFSCME grade 10 position that
would be responsible for the weekly utility bills and other software support functions and
eliminating a Customer Service Representative AFSCME grade 7 position.
Financial Impact:
The difference between an AFSCME grade 7 position and an AFSCME grade 10 position is
$5383/year.
Recommendation:
I recommend eliminating one Customer Service Representative — Revenue AFSCME pay grade
7 position and creating a Utility Billing Coordinator AFSCME grade 10 position.

��, MEMORANDUM
Date: April 11, 2016
To: Geoff Fruin, Interim City Manager
From: Dennis Bockenstedt, Director of Finance
Re: Resolutions for the Issuance of the 2016 General Obligation Bonds and 2016
Sewer & Water Revenue Refunding Bonds
There are five separate resolutions to be considered by the City Council to institute proceedings
for the issuance of the 2016 General Obligation Bonds and the 2016 Sewer & Water Revenue
Refunding Bonds following public hearings at the City Council meeting on April 19. There are
also four resolutions directing the advertisement for sale and electronic bidding procedures for
the same bond issues.
The first three resolutions are to institute proceedings for the issuance of the 2016 General
Obligation Bonds. The first resolution is to institute the proceedings for the general obligation
bonds for Essential Corporate Purposes, and the resolution is for an amount not to exceed
$9,000,000. The second resolution is to institute the proceedings for the general obligation
bonds for urban renewal projects, which are deemed essential, and the resolution is for an
amount not to exceed $200,000. Our bond attorney, Mark Cory, reviews our projects to
determine under which purpose they should be classified. The projects that are considered
Essential Corporate Purposes by Iowa state code do not have a $700,000 project expense cap
and are not subject to reverse referendum.
The third resolution is to institute the proceedings for the general obligation bonds for General
Corporate Purposes. This project classification restricts the City from issuing more than
$700,000 in general obligation bonds per project and subjects the City to a reverse referendum
within 30 days of adoption of the resolution. The resolution is for an amount not to exceed
$500,000.
Below is a summary of the capital projects being funded by the 2016 General Obligation Bond
issue.

$ 436,000
Totals
Resolution Amount $ 9,000,000 $ 200,000 $ 500,000
2016 GO Bonds for Towncrest Redevelopment will be issued as taxable
This list of projects was developed through the Five -Year Capital Improvement Program. These
projects are presented by their purpose classification. The project totals are $9,295,888 and the
anticipated bond issue amount is $9,415,000. The difference between the project totals and the
bond issue amount is the bond issuance expenses that include bond attorney fees, publications,
financial advisor fees, paying agent fees, and the underwriter's discount. The estimated amount
for bond issuance costs is $119,112 which is approximately 1.3% of the project totals.
The resolutions for the 2016 General Obligation Bond issue are for a total combined issuance
amount not to exceed $9,700,000. The City's bond attorney typically sets the resolution
amounts higher than the estimated bond issue as a contingency for potential changes. In the
event that the bond issue costs come in higher than expected or if a project budget should
require an unanticipated change, the bond issue totals could change, but it would not require
holding an additional public hearing for the difference. The resolutions to accept the final bond
issuance will reflect the actual amount of the bonds issued. We are not expecting any changes
to the anticipated bond issue amount of $9,415,000.
In addition to these three resolutions for the 2016 General Obligation Bonds, there are two
resolutions directing the advertisement for sale and approving the electronic bidding
procedures. One of the resolutions is for the tax exempt portion of the bond issue and is for
$8,795,000 and the second resolution is for the taxable portion of the bond issue and is for
$620,000. These parts of the 2016 General Obligation Bond issue will be sold separately and
will be known as the "2016N' and "20166" General Obligation Bonds and total to $9,415,000.
2
The final four resolutions are to institute proceedings for the issuance of Sewer & Water
Revenue Refunding bonds and to direct the advertisement for their sale and to approve the
electronic bidding procedures. These resolutions will be considered following the public
hearings held for their discussion. The resolution for the 2016C Sewer Revenue Refunding
Bonds is for an amount not to exceed $10,500,000. The resolution for the 2016D Water
Revenue Refunding Bonds is for an amount not to exceed $4,415,000. These refunding bonds
will be used to call the 2008C Sewer Revenue Bonds and the 2008D Water Revenue Bonds on
July 1, 2016. The net present value savings on the sewer revenue refunding is estimated to be
$850,001 or 8.08% over the next five years. The net present value savings on the water
revenue refunding is estimated to be $309,851 or 7.59% over the next eight years.
The Council then considered the proposed action and the extent of objections thereto.
Whereupon, Council Member Botchway introduced and delivered to the
Clerk the Resolution hereinafter set out entitled "RESOLUTION INSTITUTING
PROCEEDINGS TO TAKE ADDITIONAL ACTION FOR THE ISSUANCE OF NOT TO
EXCEED $200,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS", and moved:

�"p CITY OF IOWA CITY 19
�''P � MEMORANDUM
Date: April 14, 2016
To: Geoff Fruin, Interim City Manager
From: Simon Andrew, Assistant to the City Manager
Re: Resolution setting the fee for Transportation Network Company licenses
Introduction:
At the April 19 City Council formal meeting, Council will consider the third reading of the
proposed Transportation Network Company (TNC) ordinance. The proposed ordinance sets the
requirements for obtaining a TNC license and specifies that the license fee shall be set by City
Council resolution. The resolution for consideration on City Council's April 19 sets the annual
TNC license fee at $1,000.
It is not clear the amount of staff time that will be required to enforce the new ordinance,
including an annual audit of TNC records and the investigation of complaints received by the
City. The $1,000 fee covers an estimate of the costs that will be incurred enforcing the
ordinance. The fee can be reviewed after the first year of operation in order to ensure it is set at
the appropriate amount.
Staff reviewed license fees from other cities and states with TNC legislation to inform this
discussion. There is a wide range of TNC fees nationally, including no fee at all. The legislation
currently being considered by the Iowa state legislature would set a fee of $5,000 for the state of
Iowa. The $1,000 fee for Iowa City would be comparable per capita to other cities and states
that were reviewed.
Recommendation:
Should City Council approve the third reading of the TNC ordinance, staff recommends
approving a $1,000 fee for TNC licenses.
