mitigation site.
Task 3 - Alternative Analysis
If an Individual Permit will be required for the project, the USACE will require an Alternative Analysis for
the project in addition to the Mitigation Plan. The Consultant will prepare an Alternative Report that will
include the following discussions: project purpose, project need, alternate site analysis, avoidance of
impact, minimization of impact, and compensatory mitigation. Following submittal of the Alternatives
Analysis, the Consultant will coordinate with the USACE to facilitate issuance of the Section 404 Permit.
If an Alternate Analysis is required, the City will need to provide background and supporting information,
such as alternate sites evaluated or demographic information. The proposed fees for the alternatives
analysis assume that the client will provide the Consultant information required to generate the Alternative
Analysis report. This service will not be initiated without prior approval of the City.
Task 4 - Threatened & Endangered Species Habitat Assessment
The Consultant reviewed the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) Endangered Species List to evaluate
potential Threatened and Endangered (T&E) species in the project area. The list for Johnson County

Attachments: Resolution
Executive Summary:
This agreement authorizes Foth Infrastructure and Environment to provide preliminary and
final design services, and the preparation of construction documents, for the American Legion
Road Improvements Project. The project includes reconstructing American Legion Road
(Scott Boulevard to Taft Avenue) from a rural to an urban roadway with sidewalks. The
project also includes on -street bike lanes, construction of a single lane roundabout at the
American Legion Road and Scott Boulevard Intersection, a pedestrian underpass near the
new Hoover School and new public utilities (storm sewer and water main). The consultant
agreement is for $587,104 and will be funded by General Obligation Bonds.
Project Background:
American Legion Road is currently a rural roadway (one -lane in either direction) with ditches.
To support projected growth within the southeast quadrant of the City, the roadway and
associated infrastructure needs upgrading to current arterial design standards.
Identifying this future need in 2014, the city prepared functional design plans for American
Legion Road to establish design parameters, identify preliminary right-of-way needs, review
options for intersection improvements and to prepare an overall engineer's option of probable
project costs. These documents will act as a baseline for the project as it progresses through
preliminary and final design.
As part of the design process, previously established design parameters will be evaluated and
revised as directed by Council at the April 2, 2018 work session.

WHEREAS, it is mutually beneficial to both parties and the public to have an infrastructure in
place to enhance the communications between Iowa City traffic control facilities, which also
service traffic control devices within University Heights, and
WHEREAS, this project shall include the extension of fiber ducts for use by University Heights at
its municipal offices at 1302 Melrose Avenue; and
WHEREAS, Iowa Code Chapter 28E (2017) permits local governmental entities to make efficient
use of their resources and powers in order to provide joint services by way of a duly recorded
agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises herein, the Parties agree as
follows.
1. No separate legal or administrative entity is created herein.
2. In exchange for the mutual promises made herein, University Heights hereby grants Iowa
City the following rights:
a. to install, maintain, inspect, protect, repair, replace and retain three fiber optic

6. The fiber optic cable systems and other components of the facilities erected by Iowa

interference as possible with pedestrian and vehicular traffic, and shall abide by
scheduling directions, if any, given by the University Heights City Engineer.

relocate traffic control signage, the relocation shall be coordinated with University
Heights City Engineer.
9. After construction or maintenance activities are completed, Iowa City shall restore any
and all portion of the sidewalk and right-of-way to University Height's complete
satisfaction, including but not limited to street pavement, curb and sidewalk repair.
10. Upon completion of the work, Iowa City shall promptly furnish to University Heights

keep complete and accurate maps and records of the locations and operations of its
facilities including buried abandoned facilities, in connection with this Agreement.

the optical fiber cable within University Heights' right-of-way must be approved by
University Heights in writing prior to proceeding with the change. The written notification to
change must include the description of the work and the company and contact actually
providing the work. In turn, University Heights will notify Iowa City in writing when
University Heights' plans to make changes affecting the optical fiber cable and its route.
13. The parties agree that the optical fiber cable will be the sole property of Iowa City.
Maintenance of the optical fiber cable is the sole responsibility of Iowa City, its successors,
designees, or assigns. All costs affecting changes and maintenance of the optical fiber

optic conduits by other parties, including the University of Iowa, for public purposes.
Should Iowa City desire to allow use of the fiber optic conduits, Iowa City shall obtain
consent from the University Heights City Manager, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. In the event that University Heights desires to use, install or own
fiber optic cable within the ducts, such use would be subject to a separate agreement.
15. Parties agree this Agreement shall be for a period of ten (10) years from May 30, 2018,

property rights, including the payment of any compensation due. To that end, in the event
that permanent right-of-way is needed, Iowa City shall acquire said property in the name of
and for the benefit of University Heights.
18. Neither party hereto is entitled to any compensation arising from this Agreement.
19, Iowa City covenants to indemnify, defend and save University Heights and its officers,
agents and employees, harmless from any and all damages arising directly from the

property to maintain insurance coverage during the term of their work and to provide
University Heights with certificates of insurance satisfactory to University Heights.
20. University Heights will not, by ordinance or otherwise, vacate any street, alley or public
property in which Iowa City has installed its facilities without reserving such rights as
necessary to allow continued use of such property for the said facilities in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.
21. This Agreement shall be recorded in the Johnson County Recorder's Office, at Iowa
City's expense.

Executive Summary:
This amendment will allow the homeowner's association to own and maintain Outlots J and K,
rather than the City.
Upon final platting this subdivision, the parties agreed that the City would take over ownership
and maintenance obligations for Outlots J and K, which were to be dedicated to the City in
excess of the neighborhood open space requirement. The HOA desires to maintain those
outlots subject to the conservation easement and use restrictions for private open space. Staff
finds this reasonable, given the availability of other public open space opportunities in the
neighborhood.

Resolution No. 18-171
Resolution establishing a schedule for maintenance inspections for
rental units and rescinding Resolution No. 08-119.
Whereas, the City Code provides for inspections and permitting of all rental units;
Whereas, Resolution No. 08-119 establishes the current schedule by which all rental units are
required to be inspected every two years;
Whereas, the City has adopted ordinances in the last year to strengthen the zoning and
housing codes in response to HF 134 passed by the Iowa legislature in 2017 that prohibits
cities from restricting occupancy based on familial status; and
Whereas, to better enforce these recently enacted ordinances and to address life/safety issues
and monitor property maintenance, rental inspections should occur annually in dwellings with
higher occupancy.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa that
1. Inspections of rental units shall be conducted upon request and on a complaint basis.
2. In addition to inspections conducted upon request and complaint, the following rental
units shall be inspected through a program of regular inspection every year:
a. single family dwellings with 4 or more bedrooms
b. duplexes where 1 unit has 4 or more bedrooms
c. multi -family dwellings with an initial certificate of occupancy before 1/1/96
d. fraternity/sorority houses
e. rooming houses
f. transient housing units
g. family care units
h. group homes
i. public housing units
3. In addition to inspections conducted upon request and complaint, all rental units not listed
in Paragraph 2 shall be inspected through a program of regular inspection every two
years.
4. Resolution No. 08-119 is rescinded.
5. This resolution is effective July 1, 2018.

Resolution
Executive Summary:
Last spring the legislature adopted HF 134 amending Iowa Code Section 414.1 to prohibit
municipalities, after January 1, 2018, from adopting or enforcing any regulation or restriction
related to occupancy of residential rental property that is based upon the existence of
familial or nonfamilial relationships between the occupants of such rental property. This
limitation threatens the stability of Iowa City's neighborhoods that are impacted by their
proximity to the University of Iowa campus and the pressures of the rental housing market.
The City Council over the past six months has adopted multiple housing and zoning code
changes to mitigate the destabilizing effects of the State legislation.
The final component needing City Council approval is moving the systematic inspection of
multi -family properties older than 1996, fratemity/sorority houses, rooming houses, group
homes, public housing units, family care units, and single-family and duplex properties with
4 or more bedrooms in a dwelling unit from a two-year cycle to an annual basis beginning
July 1, 2018 (exempt if the property meets the current building and zoning code).
Background / Analysis:
As staff researched possible solutions to the State action, it was determined that a higher
percentage of renters versus owner -occupants in single-family neighborhoods results in
fewer people that are invested in the long-term health of the neighborhood, a less stable
population of families with children to support neighborhood elementary schools, gradual
deterioration in the upkeep of homes and properties, and an increase in nuisance issues
that discourages investment in housing from a diverse array of demographic and socio-
economic backgrounds. Such diversity is key to establishing healthy neighborhoods and
supporting diversity and stability in the business offerings in nearby commercial districts.
Concentrations of single-family and duplex rental units, coupled with the economic
realities created by a removal of occupancy restrictions, will dissuade owner -occupants
CITY OF IOWA CITY
COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
from purchasing in these neighborhoods and make it difficult for an existing owner -occupant
to sell their home to another owner -occupant in the future. A more robust and frequent
inspection cycle is designed to mitigate these concerns in the single-family neighborhoods
and verify that non -permitted higher occupancies are not occurring in the already high -
occupancy properties. For the multi -family units older than 1996, the more frequent
inspection cycle provides needed oversight of the limited fire -life safety equipment at these
non -sprinkled buildings and provides verification that routine maintenance is occurring. The
inspection of group homes, rooming houses, transient housing units, and family care units is
designed to provide a measure of oversight for populations that are not as comfortable or
capable of approaching the City with housing code issues.
While all properties see an increase in inspection cost, the higher -occupancy single-family
and duplex properties see the highest per-unit cost. Our analysis shows that most of these
properties are clustered in our near -downtown area, which is predominantly student
housing.
Conclusion:
The increased enforcement through additional systemic inspections of key properties is an
important step in the City's multi -pronged effort to maintain and protect neighborhoods.
Staff believes that increased enforcement of the recently adopted housing and zoning code
changes ensures neighborhoods can be protected and enhanced even in the face of
increasing occupancy. While cost is always a factor with increased enforcement, staff feels
a balance has been struck between the concerns of protecting affordable housing from
increased regulatory cost and the need for increased enforcement to protect our
neighborhoods. Staff recommends the approval of this resolution.

Resolution No. 18-173
Resolution Accepting the Dedication of Outlot B, Cardinal Pointe South,
Part One, Iowa City, Johnson County, Iowa, as Public Open Space.
Whereas, upon final platting Cardinal Pointe South, Part One, the owner agreed to dedicate to
the City Outlot B therein for public open space; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the subdivider's agreement entered into at that time, the City agreed to
accept dedication of this outlot upon installation and acceptance of certain public
improvements, erosion control and ground cover established thereon, and occupancy permits
had been issued for 90% of the numbered lots;
Whereas, in the course of developing Lot 1 with townhomes, the owner installed a retaining wall
within Outlot B; and
Whereas, because this retaining wall is necessary to the stability of the adjacent residential
improvements, Staff finds it reasonable to accept ownership of the outlot subject to an
easement allowing the wall to remain on the outlot and imposing maintenance and insurance
requirements on the adjacent property owner;
Whereas, Staff finds that the conditions precedent to accepting the outlot have otherwise been
satisfied and recommends acceptance of this dedication, subject to a wall maintenance
agreement.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, that:
Acceptance of the above -referenced parcels for public open space, subject to an
easement agreement for the use and maintenance of a retaining wall thereon, in a form of
conveyance and easement agreement approved by the City Attorney's Office, is hereby
approved and authorized.
2. The Mayor is authorized to sign and the City Clerk to attest any and all documentation
necessary to effectuate the acceptance of said dedication, including an easement
agreement, and to record the same at The Crossing Development, L.C.'s expense.

A resolution relating to the Midwestern Disaster Area Revenue

Executive Summary:
The City of Iowa City has been asked to consent to the reissuance of the Iowa City Cancer
Center Midwestern Disaster Area Revenue Bonds, Series 2012, to allow for a lower interest
rate. This resolution provides sets a public hearing date of July 3 to take public input on this
reissuance.
Background / Analysis:
In 2012, Iowa Cancer Cure, L.L.C., and Doctors Hamed Tewfik and Ferial Tewfik, requested
that the City of Iowa City issue a Midwestern Disaster Area tax-exempt bond in the amount of
$5,376,250 for purposes of constructing a radiation oncology clinic office building at 3010
Northgate Drive, Iowa City, Iowa. The City issued the bond on May 4, 2012, under the authority
of Iowa Code Chapter 419.
In response to the 2008 floods, Congress authorized Midwestern Disaster Area tax-exempt
bond financing for projects located in 78 counties in Iowa. Tax-exempt bond financing enables
a business to borrow money for a capital project at an interest rate that at that time was
approximately 75% of the interest rate on conventional financing.
By participating in a Midwestern Disaster Area bond financing, the City of Iowa City provided
an opportunity for a project to be realized at a substantially lower cost of financing. Any expense
of the City with respect to the bond financing was paid by the Borrower, Iowa Cancer Cure,
L.L.C. The building was built to house Iowa City Cancer Treatment Center, L.L.C.

rate adjustment occurred in March 2018. The formula generated an interest rate that was more
than was anticipated by the Borrower and the Great Western Bank, the purchaser of the Bond.
The Borrower and Great Western Bank, request that the City take the necessary steps to
amend the Bond documents to revise the interest rate formula for the current period, and for
future periods, and thus reduce the 2018 interest rate from the formula driven interest rate. All
costs of the City with respect to the request will be paid by Borrower.

Fiscal Impact:
The City budgeted $376,400 in the FYI budget for financial aid to
human service agencies serving Iowa City residents. These funds
consist of funds from the General Fund ($250,000), Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) program ($97,700), and utility user

Executive Summary:
The City annually budgets financial aid to human service agencies serving Iowa City
residents. For FYI the City originally budgeted $378,700 for this purpose. The Housing and
Community Development Commission (HCDC) made recommendations based on this budget
amount at their January 18, 2018 meeting. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development finalized the CDBG and HOME award amounts in early May increasing Iowa
City's entitlement amounts by 25% (CDBG —16%, HOME — 36%). As the increase overall
was more than a 20% increase, HCDC must review their recommendations. HCDC will be
reviewing their recommendations at their May 24, 2018 meeting and those recommendations,
identified in an Exhibit A, will be distributed as a late handout.
Background /Analysis:
The City Council directed the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) to
review and formulate a funding recommendation for the applications requesting Iowa City
funds received under the United Way Joint Funding process. Similar to previous years,
Johnson County human service agencies request funding for United Way, Johnson County
and the cities of Iowa City and Coralville on this one application. At their January 18, 2018
meeting, the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) developed a
funding recommendation to forward to City Council. The minutes are attached.
HCDC now has an extra $16,000 that may be allocated to public service applications. Staff
recommends allocating this amount to Prelude Behavioral Services. The agency has
historically received Aid to Agency funding. Prelude Behavioral Services provides prevention,
mental health and substance abuse services. HCDC will review staffs recommendation and
provide input to Council prior to the May 29th meeting.

CALL MEETING TO ORDER:
Olmstead called the meeting to order at 6:30 PM.
APPROVAL OF THE NOVEMBER 16. 2017 MINUTES:
Eastham moved to approve the minutes of November 16, 2017. Conger seconded the motion. A

PUBLIC COMMENT FOR TOPICS NOT ON THE AGENDA:
None.
DISCUSS THE FY2019 AID TO AGENCIES FUNDING REQUESTS AND CONSIDER BUDGET
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL (www.icgov.org/actionplan):
Olmstead noted that there was twice as much money requested as the Commission is able to distribute
and the decisions are very difficult.
Housing and Community Development Commission
January 18, 2018
Page 3 of 15
Starting at the top of the list, 4C's Community Coordinated Child Care requested $20,000 and the
average allocation was $14, 267.
Eastham noted that he recommended $0 for 40s. In making his allocations he looked at demographics
of each applicant as they reported in their application and noted the applications that had a percentage of
the people in their service group that was less than the city-wide percentage he tended to allocate less
money to those groups.
Olmstead decided it would be best to start looking at the applications that the Commission seemed to all
agree upon. Hightshoe noted that typically the Commission looks at the high-priority applications first,
decide funding on those, then next to the medium priority applications. Hightshoe added that Aid to
Agency funding used to be stable funding for agencies, where they could rely on funding each year, the
Commission has also discussed funding new initiatives each year, so historically both have happened.
Olmstead added that the minimum funding request must be at least $15,000 for the Commission to
consider the request.
Lampkins suggested the Commission either start with the requests that have wide -spread support or
those that have little support and go from there.
Hightshoe alerted the applicants that while the Commission is recommending allocations to Council for
the money, the City has not yet received their congressional budget for the year so these allocations are
based on funds received last year and could be adjusted slightly once the new years budget is known.
Olmstead moved onto Best Buddies International Inc., they requested $15,000 but no one on the
Commission suggested an allocation to that organization. The category was a medium priority in
disability services.
Next discussed was NAM] (National Alliance on Mental Illness of Johnson County) who requested
$10,000 and as earlier indicated no requests less than $15,000 could be considered. The NAMI request
does fall in the high priority category for mental health services. Mary Issah left the meeting prior to the
discussion.
Olmstead moved onto Iowa Jobs for American's Graduates (IJAG), a medium priority in employment
training and youth services. Eastham realized this is a medium priority applicant and agrees it probably
doesn't quality for this specific round of funding, however he found the application very interesting, very
high percentage of students of color in this applicants programming. Eastham supports a zero dollar
allocation but asks the Commission at least consider noting to the Council that this seems to be a strong
program, seems to have good success in the schools, and ask the Council to consider finding funds from
some other source.
Fixmer-Oraiz agreed and suggested revisiting having youth services and employment training listed as a
medium priority.
Hightshoe began updating the spreadsheet showing allocations of $0 where the Commission suggests so
they can see the amount of dollars left to allocate. Hightshoe also added that she received an email from
the Crisis Center and distributed it to the Commission, the email stated as part of the joint funding the
Crisis Center requests $48,268 of operation support and emergency assistance and $22,500 for mobile
crisis outreach and Becci Reedus stated in the email the Crisis Center wished to withdraw the request of
$22,500 for mobile crisis outreach because they will receive that funding from other sources. Therefore
the total request for the Crisis Center is now just the $48, 268.
Becci Reedus (The Crisis Center) spoke with regards to their application. The $48,268 is for support for
the emergency assistance program which offers housing and utilities assistance to individuals in Johnson
Housing and Community Development Commission
January 18, 2018
Page 4 of 15
County. Reedus noted that about 70% of those assistance dollars go to Iowa City residents, the majority
of support is to help to keep utilities going. As many know having one's utilities shut off is often the first
step to homelessness, and once someone loses their housing it is very expensive to get them back in.
Between visits individuals retain their housing by keeping their utilities on and the success rate is about
90%. In addition, what the Commission would be supporting is the operational support. Reedus stated
they do fundraise for the direct assistance dollars, they receive donations from the Common Fund
through the Council for Religious Consultation, as well as designations from fundraising to provide dollars
as direct assistance. The Crisis Center provided about 1500 individuals last year through the emergency
assistance program.
Olmstead noted that the request from the Crisis Center is $48,268 and the average allocation from the
Commission is $38,000. Olmstead said he was willing to change the allocation to $40,000, Harms and
Vaughn agreed. Eastham noted he also recommended $40,000 and followed the idea this year of not
allocating more money for all applicants than they were allocated last year because the amount of money
this year will be about the same as last year. Reedus noted that last year they were originally allocated
$40,000 but once the budget was complete there was a reduction and they received less.
4 C's Community Coordinated Child Care requested $20,000 and the average allotment is $14,267, it
is a high priority for child care. No one from 4C's is at the meeting, but Vaughn noted it is a similar
application to what they applied for the year prior. Lampkins suggested they allocated $15,000 since the
average was close to that amount. All agreed with exception of Eastham who as stated before he based
is allocations on demographics.
Arc of Southeast Iowa is requesting $15,000 high priority for childcare services and medium priority for
youth and disability services. Two commissioners allocated $15,000 the rest allocated $0. McKinstry
doesn't feel it meets the threshold for a $15,000 grant and recommends a $0 allocation. All agreed.
Hanes noted her original allocation was based on the diversity and range of individuals that Arc serves
and the services provided.
Big Brothers / Big Sisters has a request for $25,000 a high priority for mental health services and a
medium priority for youth services.
Jill Kromminga (Big Brothers / Big Sisters) stated their mission is to provide mentoring for children ages 6-
18 in the community, they serve 40% minority youth and take the safety of the children in the program
very seriously. The relationships between the mentors and the children last an average of 18-24 months
which is a minimum of 6 hours of one-to-one time for each child matched in the program.
Olmstead noted the average allocation from the Commission was $15,000. Hanes suggested keeping
the allocation at $15,000 and all agreed. Lampkins noted that what will likely happen is once other
applicants are eliminated from funding it will free up money that can be redistributed.
Domestic Violence Intervention Program is requesting $50,000, the average Commission allotment is
$36,111, and it is a high priority for homelessness, mental health and domestic violence services and
medium for youth services.
Delaney Dixon (Assistant Executive Director, DVIP) stated they serve victims of domestic violence,
whether they are man, woman or child, often come from the 24 hour crisis line and give them emergency
shelter and outreach services. They served a little over 18,600 people last year and their application is
for general operations so that they may maintain their crisis line and emergency shelter.
Fixmer-Oraiz asked about DVIP funding cuts that have been sustained. Dixon stated that victim services
in the last State Legislature session received a 26% cut and they are looking at another cut in the
upcoming session which at that point puts DVIP in jeopardy of losing their federal match funds. That
would be about $137,000 loss of funding.
Housing and Community Development Commission
January 18, 2018
Page 5 of 15
Fixmer-Oraiz noted that the Commission has talked about domestic violence in pass sessions and that is
why it was moved to a high priority this year so she suggests the allocation be brought up to at least
$40,000. All agreed.
Eider Services Inc. requests $50,000 and the average Commission allocation is $19,556. It is a high
priority in transportation and mental health services and medium priority in health and senior services.
Rosemary Schwartz (RSVP Director) stated that transportation is one of the biggest items she deals with
as she handles the medical transportation program. They use volunteer drivers to provide the services for
those who need assistance getting to and from their medical appointments. This program is important as
giving elderly the ability to get to and from their medical appointments helps with the overall healthcare
costs as illness and treatments can be attended to at an earlier stage. This also allows for individuals to
stay in their homes longer. In addition Elder Services provides the Meals on Wheels program, which also
allows for elders to age and stay in their homes. Elder Services also provides counseling and caregiver
services, they have a program at the University of Iowa where a person goes over and speaks to
employees who have family members with healthcare issues to get them tapped into the resources that
are available. They also do a lot of work with family members that live outside the city or in different
states to provide services to their loved ones in Johnson County. The RSVP program is a volunteer
program for seniors who would like to still have the ability to give back and become vital citizens by
continuing to help with other seniors. The Iowa City volunteers specifically are of an unbelievable quality,
there are doctors, lawyers, professors that assist and it is very important to keep those links of people to
assisting the seniors.
Eastham noted the application shows the clients served were just under 11 % clients of color and the city-
wide residents of color is about twice that (20.5%). Schwartz stated that one of the things they have an
issue with is some people do not know the services that they offer and they do work to continue to try to
get to all the people they need to and for ways to increase the minority population in their services, and
increase their marketing/publicity plan. Eastham asked what the publicity plan for the upcoming year will
be. Schwartz said they have had some staff changes at Elder Services and they will take that opportunity
to look at what they have been doing and look for areas of improvement.
Sofia Mahaffey (Interim Executive Director) wanted to speak on the issue of getting services to all, she
has been the Director of Community Health & Nutrition Programs at Horizons in Cedar Rapids for about
two years and this is an issue that was brought to her early on in her tenure is why are they seeing the
lower rates of people of color at Elder Services. After a year of work on this issue and consulting with
Iowa State Extension is although the general population distribution may look like 20% when you consider
the age range involved the senior population does not match that in terms of people of color. Specifically
for Linn County it is significantly different. Eastham suggested they note that on their application in
upcoming years.
Conger noted that the application does not ask for that information so perhaps they will need to change
add that to the application.
Olmstead acknowledged that in terms of transparency he asked that his suggested allocation be removed
from the list as he does receive services through this agency, medical transportation specifically, because
SEATS and other transportation won't go out to West Branch where his medical doctor is located.
Pardon asked about the number of volunteers listed in the application are all active, there are 450
volunteers listed. Schwartz said they are not all active, but that is the list of volunteers that are registered
with them that they can reach out and use if needed. Schwartz stated that in the last six months there
have been around 225 volunteers actively involved, used not only for medical transportation but also the
Meals on Wheels program.
Olmstead reiterated the request is for $50,000, Conger said the recommendation should be maintained at
$20,000 even with the average dipping due to Olmstead's allocation removed from the equation. All
agreed, Olmstead abstained.
Housing and Community Development Commission
January 18, 2018
Page 6 of 15
Four Oaks Family and Children's Services Iowa City has a request for $15,000 and the average
allocation is $10,000. This is a high priority for transportation, child care and mental health services. No
one from Four Oaks is present to promote their application.
Vaughn does have a question on this application, even though no one from the organization is present to
answer, she is concerned about their balance, their carryover balance is negative $93,000 which seems
large and leads her to wonder about the viability of the program. Harms agreed with the same concerns.
Eastham recalled that the program budget in the application was just for this requested program, the PAL
program, whereas the overall agency budget appears to be more. Vaughn said the total budget listed is
$160,725 and if they are already $93,000 in the red that is significant, even if it is just one segment of the
overall large Four Oaks budget. Vaughn is still concerned as it in the past this program has struggled.
It was agreed to come back to this application after all others were reviewed.
Free Lunch Program is requesting $16,000 the average allocation is $15,111 and it is a high priority for
homeless services.
Eastham suggest an allocation of $15,000 since that is what almost everyone on the Commission
allocated. Everyone agreed.
Goodwill of the Heartland requested $15,000 and the average allocation was $3,333. This is a high
priority for domestic violence and medium priority for employment training.
Fixmer-Oraiz noted this application was tough, and she appreciated the range of services they offer and
the diversity of population they serve.
Olmstead shared his concern about their employment services and that they are still paying below
minimum wage for some jobs for some people and doesn't feel that is acceptable, everyone has a right to
a fair wage.
Pardon pointed out that the application shows two employees making over six figure salaries.
Lampkins suggested a $0 allocation and all agreed.
HACAP is requesting $20,000.
Christi Regan (Early Childhood Development Programs Manger) is representing the Head Start Program
which is an early childhood program that serves children ages 3-5. Their goal and philosophy is they are
preparing children and their families and the community for our children to be ready to enter into the
public schools. It is a comprehensive whole look at each child, focusing not only on the educational
aspect of the children but also the health, the nutrition, education, parent involvement, social services,
and disability and mental health needs as all these play into a child being successful and ready to go to
school. Parent involvement is highly integrated into their program, they are working with parents on a
day-to-day basis on how to help their children to be ready to go to school. There are two parenttteacher
conferences per year and two home visits per year where they are able to where they are able to
individualize with the parent on how their child is growing and proceeding with getting ready to go to
school. Regan said they offer a variety of screenings to make they can assess and determine if there are
any factors in the child's health that would be detrimental to their involvement in being prepared to go to
school. They complete assessments three times per year to assess where each child is at
developmentally. With the funds HACAP is requesting from Iowa City is to be able to extend their
services from 20 hours per week to 40 hours per week that a child would be eligible to attend Head Start.
This is for the Iowa City Bloomington Site which is downtown on Bloomington Street and it is to offer full-
day, full -year services for children. The premise is for families to also be self-sufficient, to use the
opportunity to go to work or school full-time, affordable quality childcare is an issue for a lot of families. At
Head Start services are provided at no cost to families, there are no fees and they provide all the supplies
for the child so families can focus on what they need to be self-sufficient. They serve families that are at
or below 100% the federal income guidelines.
Housing and Community Development Commission
January 18, 2018
Page 7 of 15
Vaughn asked about their funding, HACAP receives a grant of about $2.5 million and what the restrictions
of that grant are. Regan said that is the Head Start grant and because Head Start is a federally funded
program and services are a part-day/part-year services which is for 20 hours/week and nine months of
service. HACAP is then dependent on other grants to be able to provide full-day/full-year services.
Olmstead asked if all the teachers at HACAP are certified. Regan confirmed that all lead teachers are
certified and are licensed teachers. For assistant teachers the minimum qualifications are they must have
a Child Development Associates (CDA) credential and the target is for all to have an Associate's Degree
(AA) in Early Childhood. Staff members have one year to meet the CDA requirement and HACAP assists
staff members to help them reach that credential.
Olmstead asked if HACAP serves children with disabilities and Regan confirmed they do. With the Head
Start grant they have to provide a minimum of 10% of their children served to have a diagnosed disability.
Regan added that 10% can be across all six counties they serve and they do have a close collaboration
with Grantwood AEA who will refer families to the Head Start program knowing they have the staff with
the qualifications and the ability to work with families and children with those disabilities.
Eastham asked about employee salaries, and if all were above the $10.10 threshold. Regan confirmed
they were, teachers that have the license are between $20 and $21 per hour, the assistant teachers that
have an AA degree are paid $14.50 per hour and other non -teacher positions (i.e. onsite cooks) are
around $13 per hour.
Fixmer-Oraiz commented on the agency demographic overall and there are thousands served throughout
all the HACAP programs and there are no transgender individuals listed. Regan said the when individuals
apply for services within HACAP they select how they want to be identified on the application and
transgender is an option.
Vaughn suggested coming back to this application as there were four Commissioners that allocated zero
dollars and five that allocated $15,000 so quite divided. Harms suggested that the large grant dollars
made some feel HACAP was sufficiently funded, however after hearing from the representative it is all
better understood why they need additional funding. At this point they will put an allocation of $15,000
and see how the numbers end up.
Handicare is requesting $41,201 and the average allocation is $5,556, it is a high priority for childcare
services.
Eastham stated the request was to help only two children per year which is why he was not keen on this
application. Vaughn agreed as did others and noted it is important for the monies to reach more people.
McKinstry noted that Handicare provides high quality care for disable children so whether the $40,000 is
aggregated over all the children or used to support two children shouldn't matter.
Olmstead asked Staff about incomplete applications and feels the Commission should not even consider
incomplete applications in the future.
Lampkins suggested a zero dollar allocation and all agreed.
Housing Trust Fund of Johnson County is requesting $24,000 and the average allocation is $17,889
and the priority is high for homeless services.
Tracey Achenbach (Executive Director) noted they are the only certified housing trust fund in Johnson
County and because of that have an opportunity to apply for State dollars each year but those State
dollars require them to have a local match. Due to the generosity of the City Council of Iowa City and the
Johnson County Board of Supervisors the Housing Trust Fund has been given the funds to be able to
administer quite a bit of funding for affordable housing. None of the funding they receive from the County
or the City can be spend on operations at all, it all goes out to the organizations. Therefore four times per
year the Housing Trust Fund Operations Committee sits down to review what they haven't awarded to
organizations and gets those funds distributed. They generally award what organizations request.

Achenbach addressed the issue of race, she does not like to put down racial information on the
application, she doesn't even like to ask it on applications to the organizations because they are already
reporting that to the City or whoever their funder is and if the Housing Trust Fund reports the same
numbers it is duplication. For example, in the case of The Housing Fellowship which receives a lot of the
Housing Trust Fund money, 60% of their tenants are persons of color. Achenbach also mentioned that
historically they were the only financial supporter of the Affordable Housing Coalition and helped that
organization get started. They were also part of The Shelter House Fuse program initiative.
Eastham noted the City (under the Council's direction) has begun doing a racial equity analysis of a
number of City department programs and services and is in part why he thinks it is important for this
Commission to obtain as much data as they can regarding racial composition of the programs they
request supporting.
Olmstead reiterated that the application is requesting $24,000 and the Commission allocation is $17,000.
Eastham stated he would like to change his allocation recommendation to $15,000. Lampkins stated he
would like the allocation to be $24,000 as it is for affordable housing, they do a lot of good work for other
agencies, and it leverages a lot of other organizations. All agreed.
IC Compassion has requested $20,000 and the Commission allocation averages $3,333, it is a high
priority — food banks.
Eastham recommended $15,000 as IC Compassion is a relatively new service for food distribution, they
have a high participation from communities of color, and he feels important to support organizations that
are doing housing and food security work.
Fixmer-Oraiz also recommended $15,000 but questions if all that money is to purchase food and finds
that limiting because they do many services (transportation, ESL).
Conger agrees they do various services but IC Compassion doesn't seem very easy to get ahold of and
have very limited hours.
Lampkins suggest allocating zero dollars at this time since there appears to be little support
Pardon changed her recommendation to $15,000 but only three Commissioners agreed to that support so
the allocation is zero.
IC Free Medical/Dental Clinic is requesting $15,000 and the Commission averaged an allocation of
$13,333. It is a high priority for homeless & mental health and medium for health service, senior services,
substance abuse services and youth services.
Barbara Vinoarade (Executive Director) stated they offer a comprehensive range of outpatient medical
and dental care for uninsured individuals in the community. They see a very diverse population and are
seeing more non-English speaking people and are using many more interpreters that are working with
them. They are also seeing more and more persons who are presenting with more complex medical
conditions and they have a case management program that focuses on the population dealing with
diabetes and heart disease. There is a great need for their services, they are in the process of hiring a 10
hour/week dental director) paid through an anonymous gift) which will be incredibly helpful as they have
over 100 people at all times on their waiting list for the dental clinic.
The Commission agreed to an allocation of $15,000
Inside Out Reentry Community is requesting $20,000 the average Commission allocation is $13,333. It
is a high priority for homeless, transportation and mental health services, medium priority for employment
training, health, substance abuse and youth services and subsistence.
Lampkins again suggested an allocation of $15,000 since everyone on the Commission but one
supported such an allocation. Everyone agreed.

Iowa Jobs for American's Graduates (IJAG) was already discussed and an allocation of zero was
decided but Carley Voltz (Director of Strategic Advancement) was present and spoke to the Commission.
Voltz explained that IJAG was a state-wide organization and here in Iowa City they have four programs.
They are unique in that they are a non-profit operating an elective course in middle and high schools
around the State. In Iowa City they have a 9/10 grade program and an 11/12 grade program both at City
and West High Schools. IJAG works with students that are struggling in many ways. IJAG builds
relationships with the students, knowing that many of them have experienced trauma and work through
trauma care. They have 49 programs throughout the State of Iowa and a few into Illinois, they have been
around for 18 years and have a great track record. They have three sources of revenue, a small state
allocation, 20% of IJAG income, and 30% from the school districts that they are in, and about 45% is the
fundraising piece.
Lampkins asked if IJAG has applied to the City before. Voltz said they did apply last year and she keeps
working with Iowa City officials on how to get their students more involved and keep this program robust
in the Iowa City area.
Olmstead asked if they are service youth with disabilities, Voltz replied they are, on average in each
classroom that makes up about 14%.
Eastham asked about the instructors in the IJAG classes, if they are Iowa City Community School District
teachers or provided by IJAG. Voltz said they are provided through IJAG and about 50% of them are
Board certified teachers, the other 50% are qualified though an IJAG program. Those 50% are usually
individuals trained in other professions that want to teach and are able to bring unique perspectives to the
classroom.
Olmstead asked about the precreation for the workforce and if there are certain areas they concentrate
on. Voltz replied that it is based on student interest, they do look at labor market rates across the state
and within the areas, but it really is student driven.
Eastham asked how many students were participating in this program at City and West Highs. Voltz said
there is about 200 students in their classrooms and about an additional 30 or 40 in follow-up, touching
base with instructors at least once a month.
Pardon requested to change her allocation request to $15,000 for IJAG. Everyone else asked to wait to
see where the allocations are at the end and perhaps revisit this one.
Iowa Valley RC&D (Grow: Johnson County) has a $20,000 request for a high priority for food banks
and medium priority for youth services.
John Boller (Program Director) said Grow: Johnson County is an educational farm initiative of Iowa Valley
RC&D that is a hunger relief farm designed to provide healthy food access for those most vulnerable.
They utilize 3'/ acres of land located at the historic Johnson County Poor Farm in Iowa City to produce
fruits and vegetables, a variety of each, and exclusively donated to a number of food assistance
programs in the County. They just finished their second growing season and they produced 20,500
pounds fresh fruits and vegetables that they donated to agencies. They partner with Table to Table,
Grow: Johnson County harvests the food, Table to Table loads it on their trucks and distributes to the
agencies. They are requesting funding to bolster their educational program, because that is the other
strong tenant of what they are trying to do, it is more than just producing food but also to empower
community members to grow food on their own. Scott Koepke is the Education Director and goes around
to schools to teach soil science and aspects of growing. They conduct field trips to the farm as well.
They would like to have summer internships for college students and perhaps even high school juniors
and seniors and provide them with a stipend for the internships.
Pardon asked about the ethnicities. Boller said those numbers are hard to obtain as they are producing
product and delivering it to 13 different agencies who then distribute the product.
Fixmer-Oraiz noted that she abstained from this allocation because she works for Iowa Valley RC&D
Housing and Community Development Commission
January 18, 2018
Page 10 of 15
The Commission agreed to remain at a zero dollar allocation at this time
Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County is requesting $65,000 and the average Commission
allocation was $35,537, it is a high priority for child care services and medium priority for disability
services, health services, and senior services.
Brian Loring (Executive Director) stated they are a community, neighborhood based organization that
provides childcare and before and after-school programs in five different schools. Three of the programs
are in southeast Iowa City, and also serving children in Hills, Lone Tree and North Liberty. There is also
a parent support component to their programming where they do home visits for children's welfare, they
also provide parent support and educational classes. In addition, Loring said they also have a community
development aspect, looking not just at issues that impact individual families but also the community
neighborhood.
Fixmer-Oraiz questioned the FTEs listed on the application, 90.3 are listed and 57 are "others" and is
curious what the "other" might be. Loring was not aware they were presenting it that way on the
application and would have to look into that question. Fixmer-Oraiz also noted that the application shows
a negative balance of almost $47,000. Loring explained they had three years where they ran deficits and
then in FYI they did much better and this year is looking better as well so they are in the process of
making up that three years of deficits.
Eastham asked how many children are in the 3-5 year old preschool program. Loring said the total of
children (ages 0-5) in early childhood programs is about 150 at the Broadway location and the two at
Grantwood Elementary. Eastham asked what the charge was to parents to have children in the
preschool program. Loring stated they receive grant funding through the Iowa Department of Education
for most of the 3-5 year old programs so there is no fee for parents. They also accept childcare
assistance vouchers for their birth to 3 year old daycare. Eastham asked if all the neighborhood daycare
employees are paid a minimum of $10.10 per hour. Loring said the lowest paid staff members are paid
$10.30 per hour.
Olmstead stated that most of the Commissioners are in agreement of allocating around $30,000 -
$40,000 to Neighborhood Centers with the average around $35,000. Lampkins suggested $40,000
because five of the Commissioners allocated between $40,000 - $45,000. All agreed.
Pathways Adult Day Health Center is requesting $25,000, the Commission average allocation is
$10,000, it is a high priority for mental health and medium priority for disability services, health services,
and senior services.
No one from Pathways was present to discuss the application. Lampkins recommended an allocation of
$15,000 and majority agreed.
Prelude Behavioral Services requested $20,000, the Commission average allocation was $8,889, and it
is a high priority for mental health services and medium priority for substance abuse.
Ron Berg (CEO) explained that Prelude was formally known as MECCA, they changed their name a few
years ago. They offer substance abuse and addiction treatment services in Iowa City and also in the Des
Moines area. Their services cover the full range of substance abuse needs, from outpatient to early
intervention, they also offer prevention services, and half -way house services. Prelude also has a 12 -unit
apartment building and the funding they are requesting is to support that. It is a project that was built in
2002 with CDBG funding and support and they work closely with the Iowa City Housing Services to get
families connected with Section VIII housing vouchers. The support they are requesting is to cover the
rent that Prelude doesn't charge the patients when they enter the transitional housing while they wait to
get their Section VIII housing voucher approved. They put the patients on a 30% payment plan based on
income.
Olmstead asked if the main facility was over by Shelter House. Berg confirmed it was and that they also

contract with Shelter House for their hot meals
Vaughn noted that she felt Prelude has a very healthy balance sheet compared to other organizations
with a budget of $8.3 million and collect fees of over $3 million. There is also a large grant of over $4.5
million with a healthy financial reserve. Eastham agreed.
The Commission agreed to revisit this application after other funding was allocated.
Rape Victim Advocacy Program (RVAP) is requesting $22,000, the average Commission allocation is
$16,667, and it is a high priority for homeless and mental health services and a medium priority for health,
domestic violence and youth services.
Susan Junis (Assistant Director) stated the RVAP is an organization in Iowa City that serves an eight
county service area, they work with victims and survivors of sexual abuse and harassment as well as their
Mends, family and loved ones. All the services at RVAP are free and confidential and work under a
trauma -informed model of care. That model is intended to lower as many barriers as they can so that
people may seek services with their agency. RVAP is requesting funding for both their primary and direct
services they provide in the Iowa City area. While they serve an eight county area, Johnson County
accounts for over a third of their client base. Junis said they have prevention services that they operate in
the schools, they go into junior and senior highs and provide evidence -based healthy relationship
curriculums. They are also requesting money for direct services to help provide 24-hour crisis response
to folks that have experienced sexual violence. In the State of Iowa a survivor of sexual violence is able
to go to the emergency room and receive free medical care so part of the request is to fund part-time
advocates to assist with the crisis response. Last year the State of Iowa cut the victim services budget by
26% which led to RVAP losing almost one-third of their budget and as a result the Iowa Sexual Abuse
Hotline was entirely defunded so they need to be able to fill that gap.
Olmstead asked if RVAP also serves men. Junis replied that they serve people of all genders. One in
four women, one in six men, and one of every two transgender folks will experience sexual violence in
their lifetime. Olmstead asked about children. Junis said they do serve children, they have one advocate
who is specialized in working with children and the RVAP executive director is a former child therapist.
Harms noted that the Commission allocation is close to $17,000 so suggests that be the allocation.
Conger feels there is significant support across the Commission so could they just raise the allocation to
$20,000. All agreed.
Shelter House has a request of $50,000, the average Commission allocation is $40,922 and it is a high
priority for homeless services and mental health services.
Mark Sertterh (Associate Executive Director) stated they are a homeless assistance provider that
provides a wide -array of services to people experiencing homelessness. The request is for Shelter
operations, this is one of the few pots of funds that directly fund Shelter operations. Sertterh stated in the
past year they served 874 individuals with 150 of those children and families. They serve men and
women and families, they also serve approximately 20,000 meals to people that are in Shelter which
includes breakfast and dinner. 60% of the people they served last year were people of color, there were
three transgender identified last year. Sertterh added that HUD has finally stated that all people in need
must be served regardless of gender identification, that has not been how HUD operated in the past,
however Shelter House has always served all regardless of gender identification.
Olmstead asked if Shelter House takes in people who are intoxicated by alcohol or drugs. Sertterh
confirmed they do not with the exception of the winter shelter, however these requested funds will not be
used for the winter shelter, and the City gives separate funding for the winter shelter.
Pardon stated she would like to recommend $50,000 and the majority agreed.
Systems Unlimited requested $27,500, the average Commission allocation was $1,833 and it is a high
priority for transportation services.
Housing and Community Development Commission
January 18, 2018
Page 12 of 15
No one was present from Systems Unlimited to discuss the application.
Lampkins stated all Commissioners but one allocated zero dollars so the allocation should be zero and all
agreed.
Table to Table requested $23,000, the average Commission allocation was $9,444 and it is a high
priority for food banks.
No one was present from Table to Table to discuss the application. There were five Commissioners that
allocated $15,000 so it was agreed upon.
United Action for Youth requested $48,246, the Commission average allocation was $28,780 and it is a
high priority for homeless & mental health services and medium priority for youth services.
Genevieve Anglin (Business Director & Grant Administrator) stated they work primarily with young people
in junior high and high school with three major programs. There is a counseling program that is both
billable (insurance funded) and grant funded that serves youth in Johnson County and several
surrounding counties. There is a teen parent program and a homeless youth program which has been
relying on GAP funding and the Federal Government had indicated they will no longer provide that GAP
funding but after further discussion relented. Therefore the request is actually $10,000 less now that the
GAP funding is once again secured. The third program is the youth development program, there is a
youth center in downtown Iowa City, and there is also programs at a dozen different schools in the area.
The request specifically from the City is for a match for the federal funding they receive. Additionally this
summer they will be starting a new program and be assisting with transportation for sixth graders to come
to the youth center.
Eastham asked if they will provide transportation for sixth graders located in North Liberty. Anglin replied
they are working on that, they wish they could but it is impossible because the transportation they provide
is bus passes.
Pardon noted there is $22,400 left as all allocations stand now but there are also a couple of agencies
they noted they would revisit at the end.
Lampkins suggested the $22,400 should be allocated to United Action for Youth. The majority agreed.
Next the Commission looked at the overall allocations and discussed possible changes and agreed to
keep the allocations for Prelude and Four Oaks at zero. Additionally they reduced the Neighborhood
Centers of Johnson County allocation by $5,000 and increased the United Action for Youth allocation by
$5,000.
Eastham moved to recommend the following FY19 Aid to Agencies Budget Recommendation to

CONSIDER THE HOUSING FELLOWSHIP'S REQUEST FOR CHANGE OF USE OF
THE FY18 HOME ALLOCATION:
Hightshoe noted that the Housing Fellowship withdrew their request so the Commission does not need to
decide on this item at this time, the $100,000 will go into the FY19 pot of money to be allocated.
Housing and Community Development Commission
January 18, 2018
Page 14 of 15
Hightshoe noted that the language the Commission voted for in the rental agreement disclosure form will
need to be changed due to some zoning code changes.
The CDBG HOME applications are due January 19, 2018 at noon so as soon as they are all received
Hightshoe will distribute them to the Commission.
Hightshoe gave a Best Health update, the City has about $14,000 left in the planning dollars that needs to
be spent by June so they are will hold weekly activities in the Broadway neighborhood due to its proximity
to Whetherby Park and Pepperwood Plaza.
Fixmer-Oraiz suggested they talk about the Location Model in more detail and devote some time to it.
Hightshoe said that topic is typically on the agenda in May after the allocation cycle is complete.
Harms moved to adjourned. Eastham seconded, a vote was taken and the motion passed.

To: Kirk Lehmann
Subject: comment on FY 19 action plan
Kirk,
I would like to suggest that additional funds be directed to Prelude to support out transitional housing services.
Prelude has enjoyed support from the City of Iowa City for many years. Managing a total loss of funds from a long term
supporter is difficult. In addition, we are in the midst of an opioid epidemic and eliminating funding from the area
community based addiction treatment agency seems ill advised at this point.
Finally, there was concern during the initial review of the funding that Prelude is a large agency and could absorb a
funding cut. In response, I would indicate that we do not yet have a reserve built to the level recommended for not-for-
profit corporations, and given the financial stresses caused by Medicaid changes in Iowa we cannot easily accept any
level of funding reductions.
Thank you for your consideration of my comments.

MEMORANDUM
Date: May 25, 2018
To: Geoff Fruin, City Manager
From: Tracy Hightshoe, Neighborhood & Development Services Director
Re: May 29 City Council Agenda Items #8 & 9
Last night, the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) met to reconsider
their Aid to Agency, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and ,HOME
recommendations as the City received increased funding from the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development.
The City may allocate an additional $67,000 for CDBG eligible activities. HCDC recommended
that $16,000 be allocated to Prelude Behavioral Services, maximizing the amount the City can
allocate to public service activities, and $51,000 to the Arthur Street Healthy Life Center.
After adjusting for HOME administration and program income estimates, the City will budget
$185,000 to HOME eligible activities that will necessitate an immediate funding round. HCDC
recommended placing these funds in the Other Housing Activities category. Staff will initiate a
funding round for HOME eligible housing activities and HCDC will formulate a recommendation
for these funds subject to Council approval. No additional action from HUD will be required.
Attached to this memo is Exhibit A for Council agenda item #8 — FY19 Aid to Agency and
Appendix B for Council agenda item #9 — Approval of the CDBG/HOME Budget.
Staff will be present for any questions.

Executive Summary:
The City receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment
Partnerships Program (HOME) funds annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). To receive these funds, the city must submit an Annual Action Plan,
describing the projects and activities proposed for funding within 60 days of HUD finalizing the
FY19 funding amounts. The complete draft Annual Action Plan is available at
www.icgov.org/actionplan. At the time of this submittal, the City has received one comment from
Prelude Behavioral Services.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development finalized the CDBG and HOME award
amounts in early May increasing Iowa City's entitlement amounts by 25% (CDBG —16%a, HOME
— 36%). As the increase overall was more than a 20% increase, HCDC must review their
recommendations. HCDC will be reviewing their recommendations at their May 24, 2018 meeting
and those recommendations, identified in Appendix B, will be distributed as a late handout.
A public meeting and resolution considering approval of the FY19 Annual Action Plan, which
formally allocates the City's CDBG and HOME funds, will be held at the City Council meeting on
May 29, 2018.
Background / Analysis:
Applications for CDBG and HOME funds were received in January. The Housing and Community
Development Commission (HCDC) held a question/answer session with the applicants on
February 15, ranked the projects, and met on March 15 to formulate funding recommendations.
Based on these recommendations, staff drafted an Annual Action Plan. The draft plan was made
available to the public on April 13, and HCDC reviewed the draft plan at their April 19 meeting.
HCDC recommended the plan subject to corrections which have been made, including adding
Johnson County SEATS as a partner of the City; adding information about the expected initial
CITY OF IOWA CITY
COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
rents and sales prices for units; noting the use of the racial equity impact model for home sales;
and integrating the Affordable Housing Action Plan's recommended 15 actions.
In addition to increased HOME and CDBG funding, the City has had a repayment of HOME funds
totaling $71,000. There is now an additional $67,000 in CDBG funds and $238,000 in HOME
funds to allocate.
The Annual Action Plan is due to HUD by June 30, 2018, but Council has only one remaining
meeting in May. Due to the quick turnaround, staff is providing a funding recommendation for
HCDC to consider. For the increase in CDBG funds, staff recommends allocating funding for
the following projects:
• $16,000 in Aid to Agencies funds to Prelude Behavioral Services;
• $51,000 in Public Facilities funding to the unfunded Arthur Street Healthy Life Center
project.
For the increased HOME funds, staff recommends initiating another funding round immediately.
While the City will not be able to complete the round before June 30, the City can dedicate
funds to the "Other Housing Activities" project to be administratively approved once those
activities are known, reviewed by HCDC, and approved by City Council.
HCDC will consider staffs recommendation or formulate their own at their May 24 meeting. Staff
distribute such recommendation with the late handouts and will be present at City Council's May
29th meeting for any questions.

CALL MEETING TO ORDER:
Olmstead called the meeting to order at 6:30 PM.
APPROVAL OF THE FEBRUARY 15. 2018 MINUTES:
Eastham moved to approve the minutes of February 15, 2018. Harms seconded the motion. A vote was
taken and the motion passed 7-0 (Conger not present for vote).
PUBLIC COMMENT FOR TOPICS NOT ON THE AGENDA:
Maryann Dennis (The Housing Fellowship) wanted to announce that their project, Del Ray Ridge Limited
Partnership, was awarded low-income housing tax credits yesterday at the Iowa Finance Authority Board
meeting. The Board received 29 applications, 12 of which were approved. Dennis reminded the
Commission that they recommended to the Council that they receive the $330,000 that they set aside
and now they will move forward to build at 628 South Dubuque Street with 33 units, 29 affordable and 4
at market value, 4 will be ADA compliant and 1 will be adapted for visual impaired and the income
targeted is 60/40/30 percent of median income. Overall it will be $6.5 million project.
(HOME) FUNDING -APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT http://www.icgov.orplactionplan:
Lehmann used a spreadsheet to track the discussions and keep track of the recommended amounts. He
noted there was extra monies available, they thought they would have $570,000 total to allocate, and it will
actually be $645,000 total. $570,000 in HOME funds and $75,000 in CDBG.
Eastham noted he had submitted a revised scoring criteria and funding recommendations. Lehmann
noted he updated the funding recommendations but did not realize the scoring criteria had been revised.
Eastham noted he revised the scoring criteria for the Systems Unlimited application, he changed the score
from 17 to 66. Lehmann made that change on his spreadsheet.
Eastham suggested beginning the review by looking at the CDBG funds and reviewing those applications
by the highest score and going on from there, everyone agreed.
Olmstead began with review of the Arthur Street Healthy Living Center Project.
Eastham noted he gave it a score of 66 but does feel it is an interesting project, but to him since it is a
privately -owned entity it will be subject to property taxes and he suggests the applicant and the City, with
this commission's encouragement, look at a property tax abatement method of doing the necessary
financing.
Olmstead asked how much extra the Commission had, Lehmann replied an extra $75,000 for HOME.
CDBG is still only $75,000 total to allocate.
Eastham moved that no CDBG allocation be made to the Arthur Street Healthy Life Center but that
City Council considers offering tax abatement for the same services as a for-profit provider.
McKinstry seconded the motion.
Olmstead echoed this motion believing it was a great idea
Housing and Community Development Commission
March 15, 2018
Page 3 of 9
A vote was taken and the motion passed 8-0.
Olmstead moved to the next application, the Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County (NCJC) siding
project, which has a median proposed allocation of $42,000 and an average of $43,400. The request of
$51,467.
Conger asked about the proposal and noted there was mention of going with a less expensive siding so
on that basis allocated $30,000.
Brian Loring (Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County) said they would not change out the siding
completely but might do some of the unexposed sides in a cheaper siding. He would have to talk with the
contractor on that and what it would look like in total cost.
McKinstry feels that the allocation has to be higher than $30,000 to achieve the project, it is a high need
category and a great organization. Lamkins agreed, noting that using cheaper siding now would result in
replacement needed sooner, so better to go with a higher quality product now. Eastham feels the
organization can do some fundraising or use other funds to contribute to the project as well.
Olmstead moved to the Prelude — Transitional Housing Upgrades project, Lehmann noted the median
proposed allocation is $29,000 and the average is $23,800.
Vaughn noted that the City is the only entity that will fund this type of project for Prelude, it is not
necessarily something people will get excited about and fundraise for, and so for that reason feels the
funding is important. She questioned the water heaters and if the type of water heater purchased might
alter the total cost.
Ron Berg (CEO Prelude) noted the project is for carpeting and stair trends in the transitional housing and
replacing the water heater that serves all 12 apartments. They would like to replace that with two or three
tankless heaters that would be installed in sequence as the advantage to having a couple tankless in
sequence is if one goes down there can still be some hot water in the building. He stated that the total
cost of the project is pretty split between the floors and water heaters, the water heaters will cost $34,665.
Vaughn asked about the carpet cost and the architect fee. Berg said the cost estimates came from the
architects and when they go out to bid the architects would prepare the bid documents, collect them and
make sure all requirements are met. However after learning that they will not have to go out for
construction sealed bids, the cost will decrease and the architect fee will not be needed.
Harms asked about prioritizing and if the Commission was only able to award partial funds, how would
Prelude prioritize carpet over the water heater. Berg said he would move forward with the water heater
first.
Harms recommends $41,000 to NCJC and $34,000 to Prelude so it would allow at least for the purchase
of the water heater. Vaughn agreed. All other Commissioners agreed.
Olmstead moved onto the HOME Eligible allocations. First is The Housing Fellowship — CHDO
Operating. The median proposed allocation is $21,000, the average is $21,400 and the request is
$25,000.
Eastham believes the maximum available is $21,000. Lehmann confirmed. Therefore Eastham suggests
an allocation of $21,000, all are in agreement.
Olmstead moved on to the Habitat for Humanity — Homeownership request. The median was $70,000
with an average of $62,000 and the request was $80,000.
Eastham suggests an allocation of $80,000 due to the additional funds now available and therefore would
allow for the purchase of two lots. Vaughn agreed as did the rest of the Commission.

Olmstead next discussed Mayors Youth Empowerment Program — HOME Acquisition. $75,000 was the
median, $75,000 was the average and the request was $75,000. He noted that it appears everyone is in
agreement for $75,000.
Next is Successful Living —four new rental houses. Olmstead noted $155,000 is the median, $124,200 is
the average and the request is for $310,000.
Eastham noted his allocation was based on a response to Tracy Hightshoe's recommendation to not
allocate funding for housing acquisition projects that are proposing to not acquire all the buildings within
the coming program year. However he would like to come back to this application after reviewing the
rest. Olmstead and others agree. Lehmann noted he will put the allocation at $155,000 since that seems
to be the median and use that as a marker as the other applications are discussed. All agree.
Olmstead moved on to The Housing Fellowship — Rental. The median is $100,000 the average is
$96,000 and the request was $100,000. Eastham suggested moving forward with the $100,000
allocation and all agree.
Next is the City — South District Home Investment Partnership. Olmstead stated the median was $86,000
the average was $57,200 and the request was $100,000.
Eastham noted this project proposes buying two duplexes for housing units on Taylor and Davis Streets
and doing modifications and then selling those units as owner occupied. The application states that the
City would purchase duplexes that are now being rented and Eastham looked at the 2010 Census for the
race and ethnicity for residents on Taylor and Davis Streets and it appears 38% of residents on those two
streets are black or African American households and that is about six times the City-wide average.
Eastham stated that the City Council is in the process of adopting a racial impact toolkit for the purpose of
making sure City policies and practices have a racially neutral impact across the community and he does
not see this proposal as conforming to that upcoming City Council goal. He also does not see this
proposal as being fair for black or African American households; if Staff is convinced there is an
overriding policy need for decreasing the proportion of rental households in parts of the community, there
are plenty of other streets in this neighborhood that have a more balance of white, African American and
Hispanic households closer to that of the city. Eastman also notes the houses are being sold to
homebuyers and it has been documented that black and African American households have a harder
time obtaining financing than white households. Therefore, he does not feel this proposal passes the test
of a reasonable treatment of African American households.
Vaughn noted that if the houses are for sale, then anyone can buy them. Eastham agreed but the notion
is that the City is interjecting themselves into the process. Vaughn is questioning how the racial piece
comes into play. Conger agreed. Eastham said the African American households are being displaced.
Lamkins noted that these programs do help with lower -affordable housing purchasing options and is
similar to the UniverCity Program. The City will purchase these homes, go in and upgrade them and not
pass that charge onto the buyer so they will get a pretty nice home way below the market price.
McKinstry noted he lives in a neighborhood where the UniverCity Program worked, the Northside, and
within a couple blocks of his house there are a number of these homes that he thinks created a significant
positive impact in the neighborhood with increased stability, so he feels there is a positive social good in
the program. He understands Eastham is saying that perhaps up to four African American families may
be displaced out of their rentals, and that the people who buy the homes are less likely to be African
American due to financing challenges, but McKinstry wonders how to avoid that racial bias. Eastham
believes they could choose different streets, and not two streets that are predominately occupied by
African Americans.
Conger believes one of the purposes of this program is neighborhood stabilization in the sense of too
many rentals in one area.
Housing and Community Development Commission
March 15, 2018
Page 5 of 9
Lamkins disagrees that this would be discrimination against African American and based on the numbers
he feels there is more likelihood an African American family would purchase the four homes as well.
Harms feels that if this was put in an all -white neighborhood it could be seen as stabilizing only white
neighborhoods which could also be discrimination. Eastham noted it should be done on streets that have
a better mix of white, African American and Hispanic residents, not in a just white neighborhood. Harms
added that worst case scenario is if all four homes are purchased by white families it will actually help
diversify those streets. Eastham is not worried about diversification he is worried about displacement.
Stan Laverman (City of Iowa City) stated that one of the reasons they chose Taylor and Davis Streets is
because of the high concentration of rentals, the number of nuisance complains, and the success they
have seen with UniverCity Programs to stabilize neighborhoods. An example is Douglass Court where
there were able to go in and purchase a few homes there and really turn that neighborhood around.
Laverman noted that Taylor and Davis are the two streets that need stabilization, and they are looking at
houses where the occupants have been transient in nature, not looking at acquiring homes that have had
long term tenants.
Eastham asked if those occupants that are transient primarily black. Laverman could not say, he cannot
affirm nor deny, they have not looked at that data; they were looking more at types of landlords they would
like to incentivize to sell. Eastham asked why they cannot look at other streets that are more diverse.
Laverman said due to the ratio of rentals the Taylor and Davis area is the place to start because it would
get the most bang for the buck. Lehmann added that those two streets also had more nuisance complaints
than other streets. Eastham stated then because those two streets are majority transient and have the
most nuisances the City wants to move blacks out of there. Laverman stated that was not at all what he
was saying, those are facts and reasons to stabilize the neighborhood.
McKinstry said the focus needs to be on what good the program will do for the neighborhood and weigh
that against if some families will be displaced. Harms noted that no matter where this happened in the city
that would be true. Lamkins agreed and feels it is a good program for neighborhood stabilization and the
UniverCity Program has proven to work over the long term.
Conger noted she is not discounting Eastham's concerns and feels it should be in the Commission purview
when looking at applications. She would like to move forward in terms of funding while still addressing the
concern. She asked if Eastham was against funding this program completely. Eastham noted that if the
supposed purpose of reducing the percentage of rental occupied housing in an area can be accomplished
without the cost of displacing people of color he is in favor, so the program could be done on other streets
and in other areas so it won't have the racial disparity.
Fixmer-Oraiz noted that if the current landlords decide to sell the duplexes, they would be displacing these
tenants as well, so fails to see the difference.
Laverman added it is not just the stabilization of the neighborhood, it will be four families that will be able to
buy a home who wouldn't likely otherwise be able to buy a home. Eastham still feels that can be done in
other areas in such a way. Lamkins understands Eastham's argument however the only way to
accomplish what he wants, creating affordable home buying opportunities for African Americans is to target
that group which cannot be done when selling houses.
Lam kins recommends allocating $100,000 to this project. Majorityof the Commission agrees.
Olmstead notes that this issue is important and wonders if City Council could request that staff might look
at the effects of this program in terms of racial impacts.
Conger notes that she would like the City to arrange some sort of follow up study or check in to see what
has happened to the housing and the neighborhood.
Vaughan suggested potentially expanding the study to all neighborhoods and how stabilization has worked
overall for the City.
Housing and Community Development Commission

Eastham adds that it makes sense for City Council to analyze this project using the available racial equity
toolkit. Staff already has access to these analytical tools, and the City is focusing on racial equity.
Conger notes that would be a piece of the analysis, but that she hopes it wouldn't be the whole follow up.
Conger wants to be sure the City looks at neighborhood and housing improvement as well.
Fixmer-Oraiz notes that she's not sure what the Commission wants to motion. She suggests having the
City evaluate the impact of this project, and one of the ways to do this is using the racial equity toolkit.
Lamkins states what exactly did the Commission want staff to do, evaluate just this project or all
neighborhood stabilization efforts?
Fixmer-Oraiz said she's surprised a study has not already been done regarding stabilization for other
neighborhood stabilization programs.
Conger asked whether the City has done other studies already.
Laverman noted that staff has looked at other neighborhoods for stabilization, such as the Douglass Court
area, however it is important for the City to be able to justify actions in these neighborhoods and not take
credit for everything good that happens in the neighborhoods just because the City had some interaction in
the neighborhoods. They keep track of areas with nuisance complaints, and realized with the new
occupancy standards there will be a lot of revisiting of these issues over the next few years.
Eastham suggests that the study be confined to the South District Partnership rather than the City at -large.
Fixmer-Oraiz agrees.
Olmstead adds that the City Council will receive a copy of these minutes, so they should have an
understanding of this discussion.
Conger moved that City Council have staff analyze the neighborhood stabilization and racial
equity impacts of the South District Partnership as it is carried out, including the use of the racial
equity toolkit. McKinstry seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed 8-0.
Olmstead moved on to Unlimited Abilities, the median was $65,000 average was $67,000 and the request
was $200,000
Fixmer-Oraiz noticed the scoring was for this application was low and was curious why Eastham changed
his allocation. Eastham noted he sees this application as basically a MYEP, a home for people with
special needs, specifically for people with intellectual disabilities. Their application was to buy one home
entirely using City funds, so given the total amount of money available for all applications, to fund
Unlimited Abilities as they attempt to establish a group home agency is something he feels he can
support for one home initially using City funds for down payment and financing the rest through private
mortgage lenders. He realizes it is a new program and not established like MYEP but he does think the
federal money available to the City should be used to help establish new organizations where there is a
need.
Angel Taylor (Unlimited Abilities) came forward to answer questions. The home would be for adults with
disabilities so the funding to support the residents would come from Medicaid.
McKinstry noted that with cuts in Medicaid funding that may not be sufficient. Eastham is not concerned
about the Medicaid issues, he feels they have a plan in place to achieve enough income from the three to
four residents in this one house. Taylor confirmed they do have private funding sources as well. Taylor
stated the request was for $200,000 howeverjust to get enough for a down payment would be helpful and
they can look to a private lender for the rest.
Fixmer-Oraiz agrees with using funds to support start-ups, especially where there is a need such as
housing for adults with disabilities, however her concern is the application asked for $200,000 and stated
Housing and Community Development Commission
March 15, 2018
Page 7 of 9
the City was the only source for funding, and then now saying they could seek funding elsewhere is
confusing.
Lamkins is fine with leaving the $39,000 in the Unlimited Abilities allocation, he also likes the idea of
supporting a start-up, but also would be okay with putting those funds into one of the other two larger
project applications, like Successful Living.
Lehmann noted that HOME funds cannot fully fund a project, at least 25% must be matched so the
Commission could not allocate the entire award to fully purchase the home.
Vaughn asked if there would be 24/7 staffing at the Unlimited Abilities home. Taylor said it would be 24/7
staffing so there would need to be two to three staff members supporting the home.
Harms feels there is not enough information with this application to know that they will be stable enough
to be able to fulfill this project. She is concerned that the plan is not developed and that is why she didn't
allocate any funds to this in her projections.
Vaughn agrees there was not enough information in the application to base an allocation on and seeing a
cash flow in today's climate. Olmstead is also concerned with the instability of Medicaid and what
happens when it falls through or payments are late.
Eastham stated he will not defend the application, he just felt after thinking about it there was a similarity
to MYEP except MYEP has larger support, budgets, staffing etc., and this is a start-up and should be
supported.
Harms noted that the Commission has been very sympathetic to start-ups in the past (such as Inside Out)
but they had a clearer objective and requests that could be met. It took a couple years for them to show
they could sustain and effectively use the money.
Taylor added that the Foundation will also generate income through rentals. Eastham acknowledged that
is common in group home support.
Harms is leaning towards an allocation of zero this year and placing the $39,000 into another application
that can put the funds to good use this year. Lamkins is also leaning towards zero.
Lamkins suggested moving the remaining $39,000 in HOME funds to the Successful Living allocation
Lamkins moved to recommend the following to City Council regarding applications for FY19
Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Program Funding:
o $21,000 HOME funds to The Housing Fellowship for Community Housing
Development Organization Operations
o $80,000 HOME funds to the Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity for homeownership
o $75,000 HOME funds to Mayor's Youth Empowerment Program for home
acquisition
o $194,000 HOME funds to Successful Living for new rental houses
o $100,000 HOME funds to The Housing Fellowship for rental acquisition
o $100,000 HOME funds to the City of Iowa City for the South District Home
Investment Partnership program
o $34,000 CDBG funds to Prelude for transitional housing improvements
o $41,000 CDBG funds to the Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County for the
Broadway Center siding improvements
McKinstry seconded.
Eastham noted he will not vote in favor of this recommendation due to the allocation to the City of Iowa
City South District Home Investment Partnership Program.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-1 (Eastham against)

Lamkins moved to that should federal funding not be within 20 percent of FY18 grant amounts,
then the HCDC will review the allocations. Otherwise, staff will proportionally adjust funding as
needed to match the CDBG and HOME grants for FY19. Conger seconded. Passed 8-0.
