ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, CHAPTER 5, PROHIBITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS,
SECTION 5 OPEN CONTAINERS, TO ALLOW OPEN CONTAINERS TO BE
CARRIED FROM ONE LICENSED PREMISES DIRECTLY INTO ANOTHER.
(SECOND CONSIDERATION)
Comment: Under the current ordinance, licensees may not permit their patrons to
leave their licensed premises with an open container of alcohol. This ordinance
amendment would allow patrons to leave a licensed premises with an open
container if they do so directly into another licensed premises. This would allow for
events such as the planned Downtown Block Party, in which the street and
sidewalk would be included in the licensed premises of that community event.

PLAN. (SECOND CONSIDERATION)
Comment: Adopting a TIF (Tax Increment Financing) ordinance is the final step to
enabling the use of TIF in an urban renewal area. Upon adopting Amendment #14
to the City -University Project 1 Urban Renewal Area, and increasing the size of the
City -University Urban Renewal Area, the City must also adopt a TIF ordinance for
the amended area. The TIF ordinance allows for the opportunity of new taxes
derived from the development of taxable property in the Urban Renewal Project
Area to be divided and used for loans, rebates, grants, advances, indebtedness, or
bonds payable for projects approved by City Council. Staff requests expedited
o action.

Comment: The proposed Amendment #15 to the City -University Project 1 Urban
Renewal Plan has been prepared consistent with goals and objectives for urban
renewal in the area and is aligned with extensive master planning for the
downtown and Riverfront Crossings area. The required consultation with the other
taxing entities in the county was held April 17. While the plan lists several urban
renewal projects, each will be considered separately by City Council if tax
increment financing is proposed.

ITEM 23. ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE - CONSIDER A RESOLUTION ADOPTING AN
ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE OF UNPAID MOWING, CLEAN-UP OF PROPERTY,
1-7 - I '-=0) SNOW REMOVAL, SIDEWALK REPAIR, AND STOP BOX REPAIR CHARGES
AND DIRECTING THE CLERK TO CERTIFY THE SAME TO THE JOHNSON
COUNTY TREASURER FOR COLLECTION IN THE SAME MANNER AS
PROPERTY TAXES.
Comment: The City has the authority under Iowa Code §364.136 to assess the
nuisance abatement costs in the same manner as a property tax. This resolution
allows the City Clerk to certify to the Johnson County Treasurer the abatement
cost to be assessed against the property. This assessment is being pursued only
after the City took many steps to resolve the matter. The City notified the
homeowners to abate the nuisance (for example, to remove snow from the
sidewalk) and after the homeowner did not take action to abate the nuisance, the
City abated the nuisance and billed the owner. After being billed at least twice,
these owners still have not paid the abatement costs. The City has sent a letter to
the homeowner giving them notice that this resolution would be on the agenda, a
copy of which is attached to the resolution. No interest will be charged if the owner
pays within 30 days of the first required publication. Attached as an exhibit to the
resolution is a list of the properties that will be assessed and the amount that will
be assessed. M Iry
