Dear Member of the Iowa Legislature:
On behalf of the City Council, I am attaching a resolution recently approved on February 27,
2017 by the City Council of Sioux City.
With the recently approved changes to collective bargaining for public service employees, the
City Council feels that it is necessary to reaffirm our commitment to our employees and
collective bargaining units.
The City of Sioux City enjoys a great working relationship with our various collective bargaining
units. Despite the changes to public service collective bargaining law, we will continue to work
with our unions to solve issues in our community.
With the attached resolution the City of Sioux City commits to continuing to treat employees in a
fair and equitable manner in such issues as benefits, work place conditions, compensation
practices, and procedures for the handling of grievances.
Sincerely,
Robdrt/mottpayo�r�

RE: Utility Bill Payment Types & Credit Card Sales Analysis
During the January 7 budget work session, there were questions from the City Council about
utility bill payment types. This memo summarizes the City's utility bill payments by type and also
the City's overall credit card activity over the past few years.
The City's Utility Billing operations receives payments from customers in a variety of ways.
Credit cards have become the most popular way for customers to pay their bill. The following
chart shows the percentage of utility bill payments by type as of the current fiscal year.

The City also takes credit card payments at numerous other locations and departments and in
various forms throughout its operations. Credit card sales have increased an average of
14.26% over the past 5 years. The City has experienced substantial growth in Utility Billing,
Parking, and Building Inspection credit card sales; however, growth in this form of payment has
been the norm in nearly all sectors. The following charts represent the City's credit card sales
since fiscal year 2013.

(1) Through January 2017
FY 2017 )1)
Some of the major factors that have contributed to the increase in credit card sales include:
2014 — Transportation started taking credit card payments for on -street parking
2015 — Utility Billing discontinued taking a -check payments
2016 — Building Inspection starting e -mailing links for web payment to customers
In addition to the above factors, the City has also experienced increased building permit activity
over the past few years, a parking rate increase in fiscal year 2014, and an increase in water
utility rates in fiscal years 2015 and 2016.
The increase in credit card activity has consequently led to an increase in the City's credit card
fees. Some of these fees have been absorbed through an increase in service charges (such as
parking rates in fiscal year 2014); however, most of these have been absorbed by the City as an
increased cost of doing business. The following chart represents the City's credit card fees
since fiscal year 2013.

The City has also had particularly strong growth in credit card sales from its Internet web
portals. Sales via the Internet have grown by an average of 20.27% since fiscal year 2013. As
a percentage of total credit card sales, credit card sales via the Internet have grown
substantially over the past three years, primarily in Building Inspection and Utility Billing. The
following charts represent credit card sales activity through the City's web portals.

Fellow City Council members,
Please see the attached memo concerning our Complete Streets Policy.
Please do not "reply to all."
John Thomas
Iowa City City Council, District C
To: City Council
From: John Thomas
Date: March 8, 2017
Subject: Determining the scope of the Council identified complete streets study
At our February 21st Work Session, I asked when a Council discussion of our Complete Streets policy
(http://www8.iowa-city.org/weblink/O/doc/1547106/Electronic.aspx) could be scheduled as a Work
Session topic. The City Manager responded by saying that Staff was waiting for direction from us. As a first
step in establishing a direction and expectation from City Council, I offer the following considerations.
Introduction
Despite the adoption of a Complete Street policy, Iowa City's streets generally remain oriented toward the use
of autos driving at speeds that put drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists at physical risk. In addition, the auto -
oriented design of our streets has significant negative impacts on our health, environment, community
connectivity, and economy (see Jeff Speck's Walkable Cityor his presentation at the ICPL:
http://view.earthchannel.com/Playe rC o ntroll er. aspx?PGD=iowacity&eI D=1604).
From a strictly City perspective, the ICPD spends considerable time enforcing traffic speeds and responding
to collisions, rather than engaging positively with the community. Property assessments, especially in
residential neighborhoods, suffer from close proximity to streets with high traffic speeds, reducing our tax
base. And, as I noted during our budget discussions, our street design standards - by exceeding in some
respects freeway design standards - add additional cost to our capital and operating budgets, and can reduce
land use efficiency.
With our proposed road diets and bicycle infrastructure expansion, the City is making strides toward
improving our mobility choices and quality of life. I believe we have additional opportunities for community
improvement that will also increase City revenues, while reducing expenditures.
Revise the Complete Streets Policy
Vision
Revise the Complete Streets Polic3�s vision to include 1) preserving and enhancing the quality of life
and economic value of property, with special consideration of abutting and nearby property; and 2)
minimizing the environmental impacts and life -cycle cost of street infrastructure.
Design Criteria and Context Sensitive Design
• At a minimum, establish street design criteria on arterial and local streets for the following elements
adopting the NACTO /ITE (National Association of City Transportation Officials/Institute of
Transportation Engineers) recommendations as the preferred standards:
a. Lane width
b. Curb offset
c. Clear zone
d. Minimum curb radius
e. Design speed
f. On -street parking
g. Minimum parking lane width
h. Street trees
Note: for definitions of the street elements, see the following link:
https://d mam p o demo.fil es.wordp ress.com/201 S /03 /flexible -street -des ign-updated-aug-8.pdo,
Exceptions
Identify where SUDAS (Statewide Urban Design and Specifications) and AASHTO (American Association of
State Highway and Transportation Officials) design criteria may be considered.
Initiate Programs Promoting Traffic Safety and Neighborhood Quality of Life
Major thoroughfares/arterials
• Adopt a citywide program, such as "Vision Zero", aimed at eliminating traffic fatalities and serious
injuries by 2030.
Neighborhood Streets
• Implement a "Safe Neighborhoods" pilot study in a neighborhood(s) with high walkability, where the
design speed is 20mph.
Trump administration considers $6 billion cut to HUD budget - The Washington Post

From City Manager Fruin
Trump administration
considers �6 billion cut to
HUD budget
By Jose A. DelReal March 8 at 9:01 PM
The Trump administration has considered more than $6 billion in cuts at the Department of Housing and Urban
Development, according to preliminary budget documents obtained by The Washington Post. The plan would squeeze public
housing support and end most federally funded community development grants, which provide services such as meal
assistance and cleaning up abandoned properties in low-income neighborhoods.
It's the latest evidence that the administration is following through on President Trump's goal to cut domestic spending by
$54 billion to bolster the defense budget. HUD's budget would shrink by about 14 percent to $40.5 billion in fiscal 2018,
which begins in October.
HUD Secretary Ben Carson has taken a staunchly conservative stance on public assistance in the past, saying dependency on
HUD programs could become "a way of life" for recipients. While suggesting significant cuts, the preliminary budget
maintains the same level of funding to rental assistance programs and avoids reductions that could directly put families on
the streets. Instead, it targets funding for building maintenance and community development projects, although HUD
recommends in the budget document that those projects receive funding from another source.
About $1.3 billion would be cut from the public housing capital fund, under the preliminary plan — when compared to
funding in 2016 — and an additional $600 million would be cut from the public housing operating fund.
HUD spokesman Jereon Brown said the budget document "is still a work in progress." The budget document appears to be
part of a back -and -forth with federal budget officials, and it is unclear whether the proposed cuts will be included in the
president's final budget proposal. The Trump administration has said it will release its complete budget plan next week.
Carson's chief of staff, Sheila Greenwood, did not respond to requests for comment.

Trump administration considers $6 billion cut to HUD budget - The Washington Post
Budgets for public housing authorities — city and state agencies that provide subsidized housing and vouchers to local
residents — would be among the hardest hit. Under the preliminary budget, those operational funds would be reduced by
$600 million, or 13 percent. Funds for big-ticket repairs at public housing facilities would be cut by an additional
$1.3 billion, about 32 percent. That could have a major quality -of -life effects on the low-income families who rely on public
housing: Tens of billions of dollars in backlogged repairs already plague the country's 1.2 million public housing units,
according to a 2olo HUD report.
The proposal would also reshape the federal government's involvement in local community development, potentially
eliminating a decades -old program that funnels federal dollars into programs that combat poverty and urban decline, and
fund other local improvement efforts.
The Community Development Block Grant Program, which has enjoyed bipartisan support in Congress, is budgeted to
receive $3 billion this fiscal year, according to the document. The proposal would cut those funds entirely.
The program has been used to develop a pedestrian and bike trail in New Orleans and affordable housing projects in
Milwaukee. A Boys and Girls Club in Maryland is applying for CDBG funds to construct a gym next year.
In the budget document, HUD employees recommended "inclusion of funds in infrastructure package" for the Community
Development Block Grant, indicating the money could come from outside the HUD budget as part of a separate White House
bill.
The HOME Investment Partnerships Program, which provides block grants for local communities to build affordable
housing, and Choice Neighborhoods, a program that invests in redeveloping low-income communities, also would be cut.
In total, about $4 billion in community planning and development grants, which have been used to clean up struggling
neighborhoods, would be eliminated under the Office of Management and Budget's proposal.
Under the proposal, direct rental assistance payments — including Section 8 Housing and housing vouchers for homeless
veterans — would be cut by at least $300 million, to $19.3 billion. Additionally, housing for the elderly — known as the
Section 202 program — would be cut by $42 million, nearly to percent. Section 811 housing for people with disabilities
would be cut by $29 million, nearly 20 percent. Money available for Native American housing block grants would fall by
$150 million, more than 20 percent.
Barbara Sard, vice president for housing policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said that even flat funding for
HUD's core programs ultimately could affect the number of subsidized housing vouchers available to families because of
inflation. As a result, she said, hundreds of thousands of vouchers could be eliminated in the coming years if the
department's funding allocations for subsidized housing stay the same.
3/9/2017
Trump administration considers $6 billion cut to HUD budget - The Washington Post
She noted that, while it appears likely that Trump will propose an infrastructure package, the White House has not indicated
that it would include anything related to housing.
Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League, said such cuts would be "devastating and hardhearted," potentially
leading to rent increases for those in subsidized housing.
"These sorts of cuts could ... increase the number of families and people that are homeless because housing is less
affordable," Morial said. "It's a slap in the face of working Americans, urban communities, to suggest that you should make
all these cuts to buy more tankers, aircraft carriers and missile systems."
HUD salaries and administrative expenses will be cut by 5 percent, down from $1.36 billion in 2016 to $1.28 billion in 2018.
It is not yet clear how that reduction in staff or wages would be achieved.
In the process of developing the federal budget, agencies submit an initial funding request to OMB, which makes
adjustments and returns the budget markup. The budget document obtained by The Post details OMB's budget priorities,
program by program. Brown, the HUD spokesman, said the preliminary document is likely a HUD working draft as part of
the budgeting process and might not have been reviewed by OMB, which is responsible for finalizing the president's budget
proposal before it is sent to Congress.

Given deadlines and the length of the process, that probably happened before Carson was confirmed last week by the Senate.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer referred questions to OMB spokesman John Czwartacki, who called the document an
"internal discussion" and said it would be "premature for us to comment."
"The president and his Cabinet are working collaboratively as we seek to create a budget that keeps the president's promises
to secure the country and prioritize taxpayer funds," Czwartacki said.

Iowa City Police Department and University of Iowa DPS
Bar Check Report - February, 2017
The purpose of the Bar Check Report is to track the performance of Iowa City liquor license establishments in
monitoring their patrons for violations of Iowa City's ordinances on Possession of Alcohol Under the Legal Age
(PAULA) and Persons Under the Legal Age in Licensed or Permitted Establishments (Under 21). Bar checks are
i
defined by resolution as an officer -initiated check of a liquor establishment for PAULA or other alcohol related
violations. This includes checks done as part of directed checks of designated liquor establishments, and checks
initiated by officers as part of their routine duties. It does not include officer responses to calls for service.
The bar check ratios are calculated by dividing the number of citations issued to the patrons at that
establishment during the relevant period of time by the number of bar checks performed during the same period
of time. The resulting PAULA ratio holds special significance to those establishments with exception certificates,
entertainment venue status, or split venues, in that they risk losing their special status if at any time their PAULA
ratio exceeds .25 for the trailing 12 months. Note, while the resolution requires that bar checks and citations of
the University of Iowa Department of Public Safety (DPS) be included in these statistics, the DPS ceased performing
bar checks and issuing these citations to patrons in May of 2014.
