Burlington St. as part of the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership Program. Once this home is sold, this will be the 57th home sold through this program. Background / Analysis: Under the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership, the City proposes to sell 1025 E. Burlington St. for $195,000. City funds were used to rehabilitate and sell the home as a single-family owner occupied home to an income -eligible buyer. Renovations included a new roof, gutters, repairing and painting of siding, opening of the enclosed porch, new windows, new drywall and insulation, newly refinished and repainted walls on the lower level, new light fixtures, installation of new high efficiency furnace and central air system and a new water heater. The cost of renovations is not included in the sale price and will be forgiven after the homeowner has lived there for five years. The home must also be owner -occupied for 20 years. This tum -of -the -century house has 1,474 square feet of living space, beautiful woodwork, and hard wood floors. The home includes three bedrooms, one bathroom, garage and large backyard. To assist with the sale of 1025 E. Burlington a realtor was hired. The home was completed in November of 2016, but no qualified applicants made an offer. The price was lowered to enable a sale and reduce further carrying costs to the City. No downpayment assistance will be offered to the buyers. This home is located on a street where there are many rental properties. The renovated home will be an asset to the neighborhood and community. Staff recommends approval of the resolution to authorize the conveyance of 1025 E. Burlington St. as part of the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership program.

Persons wishing to make their views known for Council consideration are encouraged to appear at the above- mentioned time and place. CHRISTOPHER GUIDRY, CITY CLERK CITY O F 1 O WA CIT1 03-21-17 COUNCIL ACTION REPORT= March 7, 2017 Ordinance amending Schedule of Fees, Rates, Charges, Bonds, Fines and Penalties for proposed changes to Solid Waste Disposal Fees Prepared By: Chris O'Brien, Director of Transportation & Resource Management Reviewed By: Ashley Monroe, Assistant City Manager Fiscal Impact: Proposed ordinance results in the change of several fees within the solid waste collection service and landfill operations. Recommendations: Staff: Approval PED Commission: N/A Attachments: Ordinance0 U Executive Summary: This proposed ordinance change will result in the amendment of solid waste disposal rate changes. The proposed changes to solid waste disposal rates will establish a more sustainable funding model and create a funding mechanism for new programs. The proposed ordinance amendment will adjust monthly refuse and recycling collection fees by $0.20 and $1.00 respectively, while also establishing a monthly yard waste fee per dwelling unit of $2.00. Fees for additional refuse bags will increase to $2.50 per bag. Collection fees for TVs and monitors will be set at $18.50 for each unit 18 inches or less and $23.50 for each unit over 18 inches. Fees at the Landfill will increase for disposal of TVs and monitors to $12.00 for each unit less than 18 inches and $17.00 for each unit over 18 inches. The fee for small electronics will increase to $3.00 per unit. Tire disposal fees at the landfill will increase to $0.15 per pound. The minimum tipping fee at the landfill will increase to $6.50 for Iowa City premises subject to property tax and city owned property and $7.00 for all other solid waste. Lastly, a fee will be established charging $50.00 per occurrence for vehicles arriving at the landfill with an unsecured load after allowing for a $0 warning for the first violation. All of these amendments would be effective July 1, 2017, except the yard waste collection fees, which would be effective January 1, 2018. Background / Analysis: As a part of the FY2018 budget process, solid waste collection and landfill fees were evaluated to determine if any adjustments were required in order to ensure coverage of both operational expenses as well as upcoming capital projects. Several areas were noted as requiring fee adjustments to account for the increasing costs of providing solid waste collection, recycling and landfilling services. The costs to the landfill for processing electronic waste has steadily increased over the last few years. This has resulted in a proposal to increase the fees charged to cover the costs we incur to collect and process electronic waste. Landfill fees are proposed to increase from $2.00 to $3.00 per unit for small electronics, from $10.00 to $12.00 per unit for TVs and monitors less than 18 inches and om $15.00 to $17.00 per unit for TVs and monitors over 18 inches. These increases will also appear in the fees charged for curbside pick-up services for electronic waste. r 1 CITY OF IOWA CITY �r4 COUNCIL ACTION REPORT Additionally, the landfill has seen an increase in the costs associated with the disposal and processing of tires, which are prohibited from being landfilled. An evaluation of the costs and the anticipated revenues resulted in the need to propose a fee increase from $0.07 per pound to $0.15 per pound in the fees associated with these services as the current fee model was not sustainable. Over the past several months, the City has implemented several initiatives as a part of a larger waste minimization plan that resulted in a necessary adjustment of fees to cover the cost of the new programs. Beginning in FY2018, the City's curbside solid waste collection programs will be transitioning to a single stream recycling program from the current sorted curbside recycling program. In addition, a curbside food waste collection program will also be implemented. It is anticipated that the implementation of these two initiatives will have a positive impact by reducing the amount of material being landfilled and increase convenience to residents. In order to fund these programs, the monthly recycling fee will increase from $4.10 to $5.10 and a monthly yard waste/food waste fee will be established at $2.00 per month. In addition, the fees for monthly curbside refuse collection services will increase from $11.80 to $12.00, while the fee for stickers for extra refuse bags will increase from $1.25 to $2.50 each. The minimum fee charged to landfill customers is proposed to increase from $3.25 to $6.50 for Iowa City premises subject to property tax and city owned property and from $3.50 to $7.00 for all other solid waste. This fee in being implemented to assist in financing annual operations and is comparable to landfill tipping fees in other Iowa communities. In order to reduce the amount of litter in areas near and on the landfill site, a fee is being established for those vehicles that arrive at the landfill with unsecured loads. The fee is being set at $50.00 per occurrence with the first violation resulting in a $0 warning. This fee is being established, as a part of our secured load policy, as a mechanism to reduce the amount of litter that accumulates along Melrose Ave., IWV, Hebl Ave. and the landfill site. We spend over $35,000 annually in services to pick-up litter in these areas. Landfill staff has been and will continue to educate customers about the policy leading up to July 1 in an effort to minimize instances where it is necessary to charge this fee. The proposed changes to the solid waste disposal fee structure will result in a more sustainable funding model for ongoing operations and capital projects while also funding new programs that will have a positive environmental impact.
