Size: Total site: 8.02 acres Rezoning to RM-12: 3.19 acres Rezoning to RS-8: 4.83 acres Existing Land Use and Zoning: Undeveloped, Interim Development-Single Family Residential (ID-RS); Conditional zoning agreement adopted in 2000 as part of an annexation Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: Agriculture (County-A) South: Single-family residential (County-R); Single-family residential (OPD-5) East: Agriculture (County-A) West: Single-family residential (OPD-5) Comprehensive Plan: 2-8 dwelling units per acre; Single-family residential Neighborhood Open Space District: Lower West Branch (NE3) Public Meeting Notification: Property owners located within 300 feet of the project site received notification of the Planning and Zoning Commission public meeting File Date: May 17, 2018 45 Day Limitation Period: July 1, 2018 3 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The applicant, Allen Homes, Inc., has requested a rezoning from the Interim Development— Single Family Residential Zone (ID-RS) to the Low Density Multi-Family Residential Zone (RM-12) and Medium Density Single-Family Residential Zone (RS-8). The total project site, located at the southwestern corner of Lower West Branch Road and Taft Avenue is 8.02 acres. The applicant has requested rezoning 3.19 acres to RM-12 and 4.83 acres to RS-8. Ralston Creek runs along the western border of the property. The City annexed the property in 2000 and it is currently undeveloped. At the time of annexation, the property was conditionally rezoned to ID-RS. The conditional zoning agreement from 2000 requires compliance with the Northeast District Plan and specifically references the provision of an interconnected trail, sidewalk and street system, preserving stream corridors and ensuring neighborhood access to open space areas. It noted that the use of traditional neighborhood design concepts, such as the use of narrow street pavement, alleys and green elements within streets, such as planted medians or small neighborhood greenspaces are encouraged. The applicant has used the "Good Neighbor Policy"; a Good Neighbor Meeting took place on May 31. ANALYSIS: Current Zoning: The property is currently zoned Interim Development—Single Family Residential (ID-RS). The Interim Development zoning designation applies to undeveloped properties without access to City services. The ID-RS zone district allows for nonurban uses of land, specifically crop-related agricultural uses. At this time a rezoning could occur due to the availability of existing City water and sanitary sewer service. As noted above, there is a conditional zoning agreement that encourages interconnected streets, sidewalks, trails, and the provision of certain pedestrian-friendly streetscape design. Proposed Zoning: The applicant has proposed rezoning 3.19 acres of the northeastern portion of the project site to the Low Density Multi-Family Residential Zone (RM-12). The RM-12 zone district allows for both single-family and multi-family housing. The maximum density allowed in this zone district is 15 dwelling units per acres, so a maximum of 47 dwelling units would be allowed on the 3.19 acres. The applicant is requesting that the remainder of the site, 4.83 acres, be rezoned to the Medium Density Single-Family Residential Zone (RS-8). The RS-8 zone district allows single-family residential uses at a density of up to 8 dwelling units per acre with a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet. Duplexes are also permitted in the RS-8 zone district on corner lots. The minimum lot size for duplexes is 8,700 square feet. A maximum of 38 single- family units would be allowed on the 4.83 acres. Compliance with Comprehensive Plan: The Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan has designated this area for residential development at a density of 2-8 dwelling units per acre. The maximum number of dwelling units allowed by the Comprehensive Plan for the site is 64 dwelling units. The Northeast District Plan identifies this area for single-family residential development; however, the plan encourages housing diversity and specifically envisions the possibility of townhouses and small, multi-family buildings 4 at major intersections. Staff finds that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan due to the location of the project site at a major intersection. Specifically, Taft Avenue is a proposed arterial, therefore, a mix of housing types, including multi-family is appropriate. Compatibility with Neighborhood: The project site is located at the City's eastern corporate limits and the areas to the north and east in the unincorporated County are currently not developed. The area to the west includes a recently developed single-family neighborhood. There is also one existing single-family home to the south of the project site located in the unincorporated County. Staff finds that the proposed rezoning is compatible with the neighborhood. The proposed rezoning places the RS-8 zone district to the western and southern edge of the project site, which will continue the existing single-family development pattern. The RM- 12 zone district is proposed at the corner of the project site focusing the higher density housing at the major intersection. Staff has received a proposed concept for the development from the applicant,which includes 32 dwelling units. Staff recommends including a condition to the rezoning that requires general conformance with the number and types of units identified in the proposed concept to ensure compatibility with the existing neighborhood and development pattern. Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Ralston Creek runs along the far western portion of the project site. Due to the presence of this watercourse, the zoning ordinance requires a Level 1 Sensitive Areas Review, which will be reviewed by staff prior to the issuance of any permits, to ensure the stream corridor is adequately buffered. Despite the location of the creek, the project site is not located within a floodplain. Historic Resources: There are no historic resources on the project site. However, remnants of an original stone railroad bridge crosses Ralston Creek southwest of the project site on land dedicated to the City for parkland at the time the Stone Bridge Estates, Part Eight was platted (though the City has not formally accepted ownership of this outlot at this time). The Northeast District Plan mentions the possibility of incorporating this bridge into the trail system. Traffic Implications,Access, and Street Design: The site can be accessed via Lower West Branch Road and Taft Avenue. Per the Iowa DOT, the current average daily traffic on Lower West Branch is 200 vehicles per day and the theoretical capacity of a two-lane collector is about 14,000 per day. Therefore, Lower West Branch Road can accommodate the amount of traffic anticipated to be generated from the proposed rezoning. Taft Avenue is currently an unimproved, chip seal roadway, but is planned as a future arterial street. The subdivision ordinance allows for the approval of subdivisions that access existing public streets that do not meet City standards, provided that the subdivider contributes to the future construction cost of bringing the segment of the street that abuts the project site to City standards. Therefore, the subdivider will be subject to the arterial street costs (12.5% of the total construction cost) at the time of final plat. Furthermore, the City will need approximately 12 feet of additional right-of-way to 5 improve Taft Avenue to an arterial. Staff recommends including a condition to the rezoning that requires the additional right-of-way to be dedicated at the time of platting. As a proposed arterial, Taft Avenue will provide an important connection to the city's industrial area to the south. The RM-12 and the RS-8 zone districts require a 40-foot building setback from arterials; however, due to the amount of truck traffic that Taft Avenue could generate staff recommends adding a condition requiring a detailed landscaping plan at the time of platting to ensure adequate buffering from Taft Avenue, as well as adequate landscaping for the RM-12 area of the project site. The Northeast District Plan discusses the importance of an interconnected transportation system. In addition, the Functional Bikeway Network in the City's Bicycle Master Plan identifies a future secondary multi-use trail along the western portion of the project site that will connect with the existing off-street paved path to the south. The subdivision ordinance allows the City to require an easement or dedication of an outlot in instances where a trail extension identified in the Comprehensive Plan is located on the project site. Based on discussions with Parks and Recreation staff an outlot is preferred since a future City park is already planned for the area southwest of the project site. Staff recommends including a condition to the rezoning that requires the creation of an outlot along Ralston Creek to provide the trail connection. To meet the Northeast District Plan's goal of an interconnected street network, staff also recommends including a condition to the rezoning that ensures roadway access to the single-family property to the south should it redevelop. The subdivision ordinance requires sidewalks on both sides of both public and private streets, so additional sidewalks will be required at the time of platting Neighborhood Parkland or Fees In-lieu of: Open space dedication or fees in lieu of are addressed at the time of subdivision. Based on 3.19 acres of RM-12 zoning and 4.83 acres of RS-8 zoning, the developer would be required to dedicate 0.37 acres of land. Depending on the amount of space provided for the trail connection,the applicant may be able to meet all or a portion of the open space requirements on-site. If not, fees in lieu of dedication would be appropriate. Infrastructure Fees: The City requires developers to pay a $435 per acre fee for water service. The project site is not located in one of the City's sanitary sewer districts, and therefore,the City collects no sanitary sewer tap on fees. The developer will be responsible for costs associated with the water and sanitary sewer improvements needed to serve the project site. SUMMARY: Based on the analysis, staff finds that the proposed rezoning with the identified conditions is both in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the existing neighborhood. The Comprehensive Plan allows for up to 64 dwelling units on the project site, encourages a mix of housing types, and identifies major intersections as appropriate for higher density housing. The proposed rezoning focuses the RM-12 zone district at the corner of Lower West Branch Road and Taft Avenue, while the RS-8 zone district covers the southern and western portions of the project site abutting Ralston Creek and existing single-family residential. 6 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of REZ18-00015, an application submitted by Allen Homes,for a rezoning from ID-RS to RM-12 (3.19 acres) and RS-8 (4.83 acres) on 8.02 acres of property located at the southwest corner of Lower West Branch Road and Taft Avenue subject to the following conditions: 1) General compliance with the submitted concept plan in terms of number of units and type of housing proposed, 2) Provision of approximately 12 feet of additional right-of-way along Taft Avenue to be dedicated at the time of platting, 3) Detailed landscaping plan to ensure adequate buffering along Taft Avenue and in the proposed RM- 12 area at the time of platting, 4) Creation of an outlot along Ralston Creek to provide the trail connection at the time of platting, and 5) Provision of roadway access to the single-family property to the south should it redevelop.

Planning and Zoning Commission June 7, 2018 Page 3 of 7 Signs recused himself from this item and left the room as his company had some interest in this property. Miklo introduced Anne Russett, Associate Planner, who recently joined the City staff. Russett presented the Staff report noting this property was annexed into the City in 2000 and at that time was zoned to ID-RS (Interim Development- Single Family Residential Zone). Russett showed an aerial map of the property, most of the area around the property is undeveloped, the area to the north and to the east is undeveloped in the unincorporated part of Johnson County, the property to the south is an existing single family home in Johnson County, and the area to the west, south of Lower West Branch Road, is in the City limits and is an existing single family neighborhood. Russett showed the zoning map of the area, the current zoning of ID-RS is typically used for areas where there is not existing City water and sanitary sewer service and uses that are allowed in this zone are non-urban uses such as row crops. Rezoning at this time is appropriate because there is access to water and sanitary sewer. In terms of the surrounding zonings, most of the land in the County is zoned agriculture, the property to the south in the County is zoned residential, and the area to the west is planned development overlay, also zoned single family. The applicant is requesting 4.83 acres be rezoned to the Medium Density Single-Family Residential Zone (RS-8) and the 3.19 acres of the northeastern portion of the project site to the Low Density Multi-Family Residential Zone (RM-12). The Future Land Use Map of the , Comprehensive Plan has designated this area for residential development at a density of 2-8 dwelling units per acre. The Northeast District Plan identifies this area for single-family residential development; however, the plan encourages housing diversity and specifically envisions the possibility of townhouses and small, multi-family buildings at major intersections such as Lower West Branch Road and Taft Avenue. Russett noted the applicant has submitted a concept plan for this property, the plan Russett is showing this evening is a little different than the one that was provided with the meeting agenda packet. The applicant is proposing 32 residential units, on the western and southern portion of the site they are proposing 11 single family homes and concentrating the townhomes and higher density area at the corner of Taft Avenue and Lower West Branch Road. Staff recommends including a condition to the rezoning that requires general conformance with the number and types of units identified in the proposed concept to ensure compatibility with the existing neighborhood and development pattern. In terms of traffic, access and street design, Russett stated Taft Avenue is planned as a future arterial street and the City would need an additional 12 feet of right-of-way to make those improvements. Therefore Staff is recommending the following conditions: (1)the additional right-of-way be dedicated at the time of platting and (2) a detailed landscaping plan also be provided at platting. Taft Avenue will be an important connection to the industrial area to the south and future truck traffic is anticipated in this area so a sufficient landscape buffer needs to be in place. Additionally the Northeast District Plan encourages an interconnected transportation system and the City's Bicycle Master Plan identifies a future secondary multi-use trail along the western portion of the project site that will connect with the existing off-street paved path to the south. Therefore Staff is recommending two additional conditions: (1) a dedication of an outlot to provide the trail connection at platting and (2) a provision of roadway access to the single-family property to the south should it redevelop. Russett showed the revised concept plan and pointed out some of the changes on this plan versus the one provided in the agenda packets are the applicant has provided the outlot to provide for the trail connection. Additionally there is land to Planning and Zoning Commission June 7, 2018 Page 4 of 7 the south of the subject property that was dedicated to the City for a park, it has yet to be conveyed to the City but when it is complete there will be a park and trail connectivity up to Lower West Branch Road. On the land dedicated to the City, there is also remnants of an original stone railroad bridge that crosses Ralston Creek and the Northeast District Plan mentions the possibility of incorporating this bridge into the trail system. Other changes to the new concept plan include originally there was a connection between lots 5 and 6 which has been removed, however Staff has requested the applicant add that connection back in to ensure access for the residents to the park and trails. At the subdivision phase of development the applicant would be required to meet the City's open space requirements, , Staff has calculated a needed dedication of 0.37 acres. Depending on the amount of space provided for the trail connection, the applicant may be able to meet all or a portion of the open space requirements on-site. If not, fees in lieu of dedication would be appropriate. Based on the analysis, Staff finds that the proposed rezoning with the identified conditions is both in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the existing neighborhood and recommends approval subject to the following conditions: (1) General compliance with the submitted concept plan in terms of number of units and type of housing proposed, (2) Provision of approximately 12 feet of additional right-of-way along Taft Avenue to be dedicated at the time of platting, (3) Detailed landscaping plan to ensure adequate buffering along Taft Avenue and in the proposed RM- 12 area at the time of platting, (4) Creation of an outlot along Ralston Creek to provide the trail connection at the time of platting, and (5) Provision of roadway access to the single-family property to the south should it redevelop. Freerks clarified in the analysis of the proposed zoning where the number of units that could be available in the 3.19 acres and the 4.83 acres is worded that the maximum density allowed in this zone district is 15 dwelling units per acre, and it needs to be worded as "up to that amount" because the maximum is not guaranteed. Freerks questioned the sensitive areas and if any waivers would be requested. Russett confirmed they are not aware of any waiver requests noting the one sensitive area is Ralston Creek and on the concept plan the applicant is showing the appropriate buffer. Parsons asked about the flood plain for the creek and the buffer. Russett said the applicant could address that but the subject property is not within a flood plain. Miklo said the green lines on the concept plan show the buffer line required for a stream corridor. Hensch asked about the old stone bridge and if the Historic Preservation Commission has reviewed it. Miklo said the old stone bridge was identified when the City created the Northeast District Plan and was called out as something to be preserved which is why that land is called out as being dedicated as future park land for the City. Hensch asked what the requirements were for the buffering of Ralston Creek. Russett replied the buffer must be 15 feet from the center of the stream when its outside of the floodplain. Hensch asked about the landscaping plan. Russett said in addition to the buffer staff is recommending the landscaping focus on the RM-12 area to buffer views from surrounding single family homes. Hensch noted one of his concerns is with all the construction and disturbance of agricultural area is the silt running into Ralston Creek. Miklo stated that all construction areas must have an erosion control plan before there is any development activity. Hensch stated he Planning and Zoning Commission June 7,2018 Page 5 of 7 just wants to make sure the Creek is protected. Freerks opened the public hearing. John Yapp (Allen Homes) stated the applicants do agree with the Staff recommendations. He showed some pictures of the subject property. The property is a remnant of the old Lindemann Farms, Mr. Lindemann decided to stop farming last year and put this property up for sale and Allen Homes acquired it. Yapp pointed out there is a wide sidewalk already along the north side of the property that ties into the City's sidewalk and trail system. The proposal is for a mix of single family and townhouses and Yapp showed a similar townhouse design concept as an example and noted these townhomes will be different than the townhomes being constructed in the Lindemann Part 8 subdivision to the west to avoid repetitiveness. Yapp noted they held a good neighbor meeting and felt the results were positive, a summary was shared with the Commission in their meeting agenda packets. John Moreland (property owner to the west) stated he is in support of this project but would like to make sure the specific number of units allowed on the site are spelled out on the conditional zoning, it needs to indicate exactly how many townhouses and how many single family. With regards to the land donated for the park and the old stone bridge, one of the local historians has done a booklet on that old railroad bridge. Freerks noted with the conditions that the rezoning is conditional on the proposed concept plan it will make sure the number of units allowed on the site will stay as proposed. Freerks closed the public hearing. Hensch moved to approve REZ18-00015, an application submitted by Allen Homes, for a rezoning from ID-RS to RM-12 (3.19 acres) and RS-8 (4.83 acres) on 8.02 acres of property located at the southwest corner of Lower West Branch Road and Taft Avenue subject to the following conditions: 1) General compliance with the submitted concept plan in terms of number of units and type of housing proposed, 2) Provision of approximately 12 feet of additional right-of-way along Taft Avenue to be dedicated at the time of platting, 3) Detailed landscaping plan to ensure adequate buffering along Taft Avenue and in the proposed RM- 12 area at the time of platting, 4) Creation of an outlot along Ralston Creek to provide the trail connection at the time of platting, and 5) Provision of roadway access to the single-family property to the south should it redevelop. Theobald seconded the motion. Hensch is in favor of the plan generally but is concerned as past projects have shown why there is such a need for landscaping plans so need to be sure the landscaping plan is followed through on and that the areas around Ralston Creek are maintained if not improved. Freerks added at the platting stage she hopes some attention is paid to outdoor amenities for the area. A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0 (Signs not present for vote). 07-03-18 2f(1) Kellie Fruehling From: Amy Charles <amycharlesl@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, May 25, 2018 12:12 PM To: Simon Andrew Cc: Geoff Fruin; Council; wgreenberg@press-citizen.com; Kroon, Linda S Subject: Re: query on Uber assaults Info that may be helpful along the way, since City administration and Council appear to be less than interested in digging in and dealing with this matter promptly: Uber's general manager for the midwest is Carrol Chang, a Harvard grad, former Obama campaign intern, and former McKinsey consultant. I do not see that Carrol has issued any kind of statement about this rape that has women all over Iowa City deciding Uber is not for them. I don't hear her saying anything about how it is that we've had cab companies here in Iowa City for decades and decades, and passenger rape is just not a thing you see in the news from them. Nor has she said anything about Uber's record of 103 reported rapes in the last four years. Or about Uber execs getting the medical records of a raped passenger. Or about the seemingly unending list of crimes including sexual assaults committed by Uber drivers. She's been, as far as I can tell, silent about it. While the state's ridesharing code, which I've read now, does not allow municipalities to impose new restrictions on ridesharing, nowhere in that code is there anything forbidding municipalities from making PSAs about the relative dangers of ridesharing services and conventional cab services or offering advice to those who risk using Uber. While we've certainly had violent taxi episodes in IC, I cannot recall any that involve the driver's being the perpetrator. The driver, in every episode I can recall, has been the victim. Uber has reportedly recently changed its TOS so that passengers are no longer forced into arbitration if attacked by their drivers, and may bring class-action suits. Now, given that Uber also steals medical records, stalks passengers, vigorously harasses female employees, and has a generally terrible record when it comes to civil and even legal behavior, class action sounds like more trauma for victims. But it's a thing that's reportedly happened (I've not seen the change in language). Anything else you'd find helpful, let me know, and I'm quite happy to do the research.

I get that, and I understand why it's front and center on your landscape. However, this issue is not about home rule, and I'm not currently interested in it. I'm interested in the fact that a woman got raped, entirely predictably (and in fact predicted by me while Council was enthusiastic about Uber before preemption), by an Uber driver in Iowa City. Let me just repeat that so we're clear on the important thing here. A woman got raped in the back of a cab. I'd invite you to imagine yourself getting into a cab in downtown Iowa City, getting driven somewhere you didn't want to go, and raped by the driver.Just sit and imagine that scene for a while. That's what happened here. So I don't care whether Uber's taken care of at state level or locally, so long as the legislation happens. Since the state will not currently permit IC to legislate, I want to see IC campaigning vigorously for the state legislature to either correct the ridesharing problem at state level or devolve to municpalities. One or the other. Doesn't matter which. The primary 1 issue here is not home rule. If you need help remembering that or thinking of the urgency of it, again, please refer to the imaginary scenario of your getting into a cab and getting raped instead of driven to your destination. This is not where you should respond to me with a "there there" message about how the police are doing all they can and something sympathetic about the victim. This is not about the police, and a sympathetic sentence is not where this story ends.This is about the City government and administration, and how it deals with this particular issue. Rape, Uber, law not tight enough at any level. Linda, maybe you can help me get this across to Simon and Geoff, or if there's an RVAP person who ought to be looped in.

Cities across the state, including Iowa City, have spent the majority of our efforts lobbying the state legislature over the last couple years on protecting our eroding home rule authority. The City employs a lobbying firm, which has staff present at the Capitol every day of the session communicating our position to legislators on these issues. Many other cities do as well.We are a member of the Metropolitan Coalition, comprised of the state's ten largest cities and the Iowa League of Cities. Both of those organizations also have lobbyists at the Capitol pushing for more local authority. Elected officials and staff from cities and counties across the state, including ours, make trips to Des Moines to testify on home rule issues and we coordinate these efforts with other cities. Despite our best efforts, the legislature has continued to remove local authority on issues ranging from minimum wage to rental housing permits to public employee collective bargaining rights to plastic bag bans.To be clear, our local legislators have been very supportive and responsive on these issues. However, the legislature as a whole has shown no interest in allowing for local regulation on any of these topics, including ridesharing. I wish that I had a better answer for you. I do not know what the state's liability would be in this matter.As Geoff noted,the vast majority of states regulate ridesharing at the state level and do not allow for local regulation. Perhaps the Iowa Department of Transportation, the regulating authority, could shed some light on this.

Uber is regularly in the news for two things, neither of which is delightful ridesharing service: 1. Drivers committing crimes; 2. Uber fighting unionization, living wages, drivers attempting to make the public aware of how the company has cheated them and driven wages down past the point of sustainability--after directing drivers to sink money into cars. Curious about whether the "criminal Uber driver" news was perhaps overblown, but figuring that the repeated efforts at starting women-only ridesharing services had something to do with women's legitimate fears of being assaulted by their drivers, I googled "sexual assault charges against Uber drivers", and got this site at the top of the list: http://www.whosdrivingyou.org/rideshare-incidents . Notice that there have been 17 sexual-assault charges this year alone against Uber drivers. Not any other kind of charges, mind,just sexual assault.And these are the incidents resulting in charges, not the incidents in which the passenger is just grateful to get out of the car and away from the driver. Which should tell you something about Uber's screening process, no? So I guess I have to ask you: how many such incidents will be too many for Iowa City--and what will you do if we pass that number?Can the City reverse course on letting Uber do its own final-say screening without getting sued expensively?

I am writing to my fellow appointed/elected officials to ask for your consideration in reading the attached proclamation at a public meeting sometime within the month of September 2018 in support of National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. On July 28, 2017, I lost another friend of mine to suicide and since then I have been unable to shake the idea that I should be doing something to help stop these preventable tragedies from happening. As I am not a professional mental health counselor, I find my strengths in communication afford me the ability to reach out to you directly, so I hope you take a few minutes to read this and get this ball rolling in your community before September 2018. This is the second year that I have personally taken on the task of getting as many municipalities as humanly possible to join the United City of Yorkville in showing support for those counselors, educators, coaches, and police officers that assist in the all-important job of preventing suicide. While this gesture isn't much, it's important to me that I not lose another friend to suicide. It is my and my Yorkville colleagues' intention to help rid the world of the stigma of uncomfortable topics. If you as an elected official can remind your constituents that it's OK to not be OK, and that there are people trained in discussing matters most find uncomfortable, maybe you will have a hand in saving the life of someone you love. All it takes is to edit the attached proclamation with the name of your municipality, place it on an agenda sometime around September 2018, and read it aloud at a public meeting. And speaking from experience, I can tell you that this is as easy as forwarding this letter on to your awesome City Clerk and asking that this be included at the appropriate time come late summer. In 2017, 24 cities across Illinois joined the United City of Yorkville in addressing this issue via elected officials publicly reading and discussing the proclamation. • Aurora • Batavia • Burbank • Burlington 1 • Dekalb • Evanston • Freeport • Geneva • Highland Park • Joliet • Lockport • Montgomery • Morris • Naperville • North Aurora • Oswego • Plano • Prospect Heights • Rochelle • Rock Island • St. Charles • Sycamore • West Chicago • Wheaton In addition to these incredible communities, the counties of Kane and Kendall, as well as the State of Illinois, all adopted the proclamation in support of National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. We were also grateful to learn that the cities of Ft. Wayne, Indiana and Caton, Georgia took it upon themselves to read the proclamation. With your participation, now and into the future, every year that we take the time to address it, we help build a stronger foundation of thoughtful municipal government and a thoughtful community, reminding our constituents that we're all human and we're all in this together. If you decide to join Yorkville, I would greatly appreciate a response in the affirmative so that I can add you to our list of government bodies supporting those in the field of suicide prevention. To make all of this super easy on the municipality, the United City of Yorkville has compiled drafts of the proclamation in both Word and PDF, as well as a PDF copy of this outreach letter onto a single webpage: http://www.yorkville.il.us/641/Suicide-Prevention-Awareness.

I reject any arguments that our neighborhood facilities are balanced because of the Robert A. Lee and Mercer indoor swimming facilities-- nobody wants to swim indoors in the summer. Few people want to use these facilities in the winter. I reject the notion that splash pads compensate for a pool. Providing a public pool for one side of town and a splash pad for another is unbalanced and unfair. I also reject any arguments that suggest Iowa City residents go to North Liberty or Coralville pools. Not only are they overcrowded, they are not accessible to many Iowa City residents. I know many have been frustrated with the short-staffed public pool we do have.The irregular schedule is a real inconvenience for families, especially now that the Park Bridge construction will make it even more of a challenge to get to City Park than it already is for some families. I hope that as the council approves recreational projects around town,they don't skip over this important issue of fairness, balance, summer recreation and quality of life.An outdoor public pool is a basic service that simply makes a city more livable. I proposal that the Iowa City City Council organizes funding to build a natural pool (like Webber in Minneapolis)at Wetherby Park. I'll do what I can to help.

Thank you for your attention. Magda Montiel Davis 1 June 1, 2018 Dear City Council members: I write to confirm my conversation with your Development Regulation Specialist, Julie Tallman and Senior Building Inspector, Tim Hennes on the 3151 of May regarding the building located at 201 E Washington Street. I also write to reiterate that the situation is such that it demands an immediate and independent inspection of said building. As such, no officer, director or other individual associated with the ownership and/or management of the building, including his/her employees; contractors; anyone with whom they are doing or have in the past done business; or family and friends should have any involvement in the inspection process, including selection of inspectors. The immediate nature of the matter involves the health, safety—indeed, the lives—of 201 building occupants and those in the vicinity. My husband Ira Kurzban and I are owners of Unit 803 at said building. On May 30, after an absence of approximately two months, I walked into the unit to find a shade drawn. Shards of glass were on the floor. The floor-to-ceiling glass panel had spontaneously exploded. When, we do not know, given that neither my husband nor I were notified. Nor do we know who entered the unit, cleaned up some,but not all, the glass and drew the shade. The entire window frame was—is still—lined with shattered glass. Upon exiting the building shortly thereafter, shards of glass, I noticed, were scattered throughout the alley. Our unit faces Dubuque; the glass therefore did not come from our unit. Within seconds, glass rained from above; not tiny shards, big panels of shattered glass. It came hard and fast. I ran. I thought I was in the zone of safety. All day, however, I felt needle-like sensations throughout, as if enveloped in tiny glass particles. Two days later, I still have bruised and scraped marks on my arm. As you know,the higher the altitude from which an object falls, the fastest its speed, and the heavier its weight. You should also note that the safety of anyone traversing the alley—pedestrians;bike riders; a 1 child who tumbles and falls—is compromised. As of yesterday afternoon, shards of glass, although not as voluminous,were scattered throughout the alley. Kindly note that these are not matters of first impression. A few years ago, a glass panel on the 12th-floor penthouse exploded,raining shattered glass on the pedestrian mall below. Last summer, a glass panel at Meta Communications also exploded. In addition, occupants of the building have indicated that in recent weeks, several panels exploded. At Tim Hennes' request, I emailed photographs of the shattered glass in my unit as well as the alley-facing window that in my presence exploded. I am including those photographs as attachment to this email. It looks like the glass explosion of the alley-facing window involved both the inside and outside glass panels, leaving a gaping hole. Had an occupant, a child, been standing before the glass, sitting on furniture abutting the glass, walking by, even, they would have fallen to their deaths. I trust City Council members recognize the inherent danger of spontaneous and indeed, repeated explosions of large panels of glass, a danger both to occupants of the building and to anyone below, particularly in such a heavily populated venue as Iowa City's pedestrian mall.

It has now become a functioning mid-size city. Therefore we need a Commissioner of Streets whose exclusive job is to see after the viability of the use of and construction/repair of streets. To prove my point is the hole that was dug at the corner of Burlington and Clinton Streets. A civilian eye can see that this was/is an accident waiting to happen with two way traffic still allowed on Clinton virtually cutting off right hand turns onto Clinton from Burlington. A civil engineer or just a person familiar with codes of the road or road repair/construction should have been sent out to survey sites as to its public safety. Repairs, even if temporary, to a hole such as this should have been a project for a long weekend, and not allowed to be open for the amount of time it has been. In the winter months, which seems to grow longer because of climate change, the Street Commissioner could sketch out some plans for dealing with snow removal. For a place where it snows regularly, there seems to be no one in charge that is familiar with snow disposal in the downtown or in the neighborhoods. Combining the Street Commissioners duties along with 4 or 5 the titles that Mr. 0' Brian, formerly of Iowa City Transit, was saddled with will not do because the City is expanding too quickly and too broadly. 1 Any construction done by private contractors (such as at Dubuque and Burlington) should be posted with who-what-and-when information, as well as detour signs because we have a high rate of physical disabled residents. Somehow I remember that "posting signs" was part of the Civil Rights Movement to prevent injury to civilians and protect their civil rights. Finally, Linn Street should be restored as a bus stop because the construction on Dubuque has cut off the pass-through that the Sheraton Hotel no longer exists. Linn was formally a regular bus stop as can be found in the Office of the City Clerk's office.

''• e .r - w= --L •4+ v . d THE CONSTITUTION An Excerpt American History in 90 Minutes The 1776 Declaration of Independence marked the birth of a new nation. This birth brought a whole new host of questions to the forefront. What form of government would lead this new nation? Would this new entity take the form of one united nation or several independent nations? The resolution of these questions was made all the more urgent by the fact that the survival of the young nation hinged on its ability to defeat a European superpower in war. The Continental Congress served as the federal government of the colonies (states) during the War of Independence. After independence was declared in the summer of 1776, it was decided that the role of the federal government should be defined more clearly. In March 1781, the Articles of Confederation were adopted. The Articles of Confederation: The Articles of Confederation documentedthe rights and duties of the federal government. The federal government was to be run by the Congress, in which each of the states had one vote. The Congress had the right to vote on matters such as declaring war, negotiating treaties with other nations, and borrowing money. However, Congress was not given the power to levy taxes, to regulate domestic or international trade, or to enforce its own laws. The Articles of Confederation, in fact, provided for a very weak federal government. This weakness was by design. The colonists feared that establishing a strong, centralised government would bring back the same kind of tyranny, albeit in a different form, which they had experienced with the British. The Articles of Confederation sufficed during the war. The largely autonomous states were united by the wrath they shared for a common enemy. Each state, more or less, did its part voluntarily to contribute to the war effort. However, united in war, the states grew increasingly divided in peace. States became embroiled in border disputes with each other. They enacted tariffs on interstate trade which hindered commerce and resulted in post-war economic stagnation. The states quit contributing funds to the federal government. Unable to raise taxes on its own, Congress could not support its army. Also lacking a strong central government, the United States was unable to conduct effective foreign policy. Shays' Rebellion: To pay off its war debts, Massachusetts implemented large increases in its property taxes following the war. These taxes were particularly hard on the state's many small farmers who were already being hurt by the weak American History in 90 Minutes economy. Those who were unable to pay their taxes and other debts faced the possibility of having their farms repossessed. These small farmers, many of whom had fought in the War of Independence, grew angry. They had not worked this hard and fought a war for the privilege of becoming homeless. In the autumn of 1786 the farmers began to organize. In January 1787, over 1,000 farmers led by army veteran Daniel Shays stormed the arsenal at Springfield, Massachusetts. What could have developed into civil war in Massachusetts was easily squelched by the state militia. Those identified as leaders of the rebellion were tried, convicted, and then pardoned by a state legislature which had become • sympathetic with their concerns. As a result of the rebellion, laws were changed to help alleviate the plight of the Massachusetts farmers. More importantly, Shays' Rebellion caused Americans to begin thinking about law and order. Although the rebellion was successfully put down by the state militia, people questioned as to whether future rebellions in other states could be halted so easily. If civil war broke out in one state, would it spread to neighboring states? Also, if the individual states had trouble keeping the peace locally, what chance would they have of warding off an attack from another nation such as Spain, France, or Britain? The Constitutional Convention: Americans grew to realize that their survival depended upon establishing a stronger central government, one which could keep order and provide for the common defense. In May 1787, delegates from the states met in Philadelphia at the Constitutional Convention. Presided over by George Washington, the delegates assumed the monumental task of designing a new federal government. The delegates met for four straight months, during which time they brainstormed, presented their ideas, argued, and compromised. Finally, on September 17, 1787, the delegates signed the final draft of the Constitution. The delegates, who had conducted their meetings with the utmost secrecy, were now ready to present the fruits of their labor to the American public. The Constitution: The Constitution defined the duties and limitations of the new federal government. It provided for three branches of government: the executive, the legislative, and the judicial. Each branch would operate independently and have certain checks on the powers granted to the other American History in 90 Minutes branches. For example, only the legislative branch would have the ability to pass laws, but the executive branch could veto laws passed by the legislative branch, and the judicial branch could rule laws unconstitutional (an implied power). In turn, the legislative branch would have the power to remove the head of the executive branch, the President, or any judge in the judicial branch through the power of impeachment. In the eyes of the architects of the Constitution, this system of checks and balances would prevent any one branch of the federal government from growing too powerful. The Constitution also defined the relationship between the federal government and the states. Under the Articles of Confederation, each state had the right to regulate and tax interstate and foreign trade. The Constitution stipulated that these rights be taken away from the states and given to the new federal government. The states would also lose their right to print money. The states would retain most of their rights to regulate intrastate activities, provided their actions did not contradict the Constitution. The Connecticut Compromise: In return for turning over many of their powers to the new federal government, the states would select who served in this government. A major point of controversy in the Constitutional Convention was the degree of representation each state would receive. The less populous states wanted each state to have equal representation. Predictably, the more populous states desired proportional representation based on population. The Connecticut Compromise addressed the concerns of both parties by providing for two bodies of Congress. In one, the House of Representatives, each state would be allotted seats based on population. For example, a state with five times the population of another would receive five times the number of congressional seats. In the other legislative body, the Senate, states would be allotted two seats each, regardless of population. The head of the executive branch, the President, would be elected by the states, with each state having the number of electoral votes equal to its total number of senators and representatives. Presidents would serve four-year terms. An indecisive Presidential election would result in the House of Representatives electing the President. The Three-Fifths Compromise: Many of the northern delegates to the Constitutional Convention wanted to use the document to outlaw slavery throughout the states. The southern delegates made it clear that they would not be part of a Union in which the right of individuals to own slaves was abridged. American History in 90 Minutes Consequently, language was included in the Constitution which protected the property rights of slaveholders. Additionally, since slaves constituted a substantial portion of the southern population, the southern delegates demanded that slaves be counted in the census for the purpose of awarding seats in the House of Representatives. The Northerners, arguing that the Southerners themselves considered slaves as property, believed slaves should not be counted. In the end the two sides compromised, agreeing to count each slave as three- fifths of a person when determining the population of a given state for allotting House seats. Ironically and disgustingly, by their mere existence, southern slaves helped to bolster the political power of their owners, power their owners would use to ensure these slaves would remain slaves well into the future. Suffrage Rights: The U.S. Constitution remained silent as to who would be allowed to participate in the electoral process, preferring to leave this issue to the individual states. As a result, white males, who dominated the state governments in the late 1780s, continued to extend the right of suffrage to their fellow white males. Black men would not be enfranchised with the vote until the latter half of the nineteenth century. Women, black or white, would not be guaranteed the right to vote until 1920. The Amendment Process: The writers of the Constitution wisely realised that its survival would depend on its ability to adapt to the times. Consequently, a mechanism was outlined in Article V of the Constitution by which amendments could be made to the Constitution. Approval of at least 75% of the states in the nation are required to ratify any amendment to the Constitution. The amendment process was designed to be arduous in order to dissuade the passage of trivial amendments. However, if it became clear to the people of the United States that a change in the Constitution was necessary, that change could be made without discarding the entire document. The Bill of Rights: One weakness of the U.S. Constitution was that it was largely silent on issues of individual rights and freedoms. The drafters of the Constitution intended originally for such issues to be left to the individual states. However, when the delegates to the Constitutional Convention went out to sell their document to the American public, it became clear the public wanted certain individual liberties guaranteed at the federal level. In 1789 Virginian James Madison proposed twelve amendments to the Constitution. Of these, ten were ratified. These first ten amendments to the U.S. American History in 90 Minutes Constitution became known as the Bill of Rights. The individual liberties guaranteed by the Bill of Rights are summarized as follows: • First Amendment: Freedom of religion, speech, and the press. Individuals have the right to assemble peaceably and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. • Second Amendment: The right to keep and bear arms. • Third Amendment: Freedom from having troops quartered in one's home. • Fourth Amendment: Freedom from unreasonable search and seizure. • Fifth Amendment: The right not to be denied life, liberty, or property without due process of law. The right not to be tried twice for the same offense. Exempts individual from testifying against self • Sixth Amendment: The right to a speedy, public trial. The right to be informed of charges pending. The right to defense counsel and to call witnesses on one's behalf. The right to face accusers. • Seventh Amendment: The right to trial by jury. • Eighth Amendment: Freedom from cruel and unusual punishment. • Ninth Amendment: Provides for individual rights not explicitly stated in the Constitution. • Tenth Amendment: Powers not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved for the states and the people. For more information on the U.S. Constitution, please see Appendix II. In June 1788, the Constitution was adopted as the law of the land. The Bill of Rights was added in 1791. Elections were held in early 1789. In April 1789, the newly elected representatives, senators, and the nation's first President, George Washington, took their places in the capital of the United States, New York City.

It often has trash, furniture and debris in and around the water. 2. The water is stagnant and therefore smells—especially as the hotter summer months are upon us. 3. The space is overrun with geese who hiss and poop in the adjacent areas—particularly in spring when they are protecting their young. 4. The area surrounding the pond isn't mowed and is overgrown. I called the city today and spoke will Jill Tallman who indicated that she has received other complaints about the property. She was very thoughtful in her response and referred the question to another gentleman who called me back to indicate that he would call the property owner to "encourage clean up". However, he also indicated that the city was relatively powerless to enforce property owners to maintain areas like this as there are not clear rules that they could enforce. It seems like that there should be guidelines for maintaining these water features. The stagnant areas create unpleasant sights and smells—also providing a breeding ground for mosquitos. The path adjacent to the water is a main walkway for students who attend West High as well as for families who walk and bike nearby. Is there any way to create guidelines for property owners to keep these areas maintained? There are rules in place for disorderly houses. Couldn't there be guidelines for these areas as well? I have seen flood or water retention areas all over the city that are maintained quite nicely. This particular owner has just let go of any maintenance. Can anything be done?

I am writing to provide you with some information that may be helpful in understanding the current broadband landscape in Iowa City. Unfortunately there is a decent amount of older infrastructure in place and utilized by CenturyLink and Mediacom. One advantage Mediacom does have over CenturyLink is that it offers the same speeds across the City,whereas CenturyLink tends to have certain areas where speed options are quite limited-and others where you can actually subscribe to the speeds they often advertise. As building new or replacing old infrastructure is quite expensive,this means that these companies are left with a business decision that comes down to their potential return on investment-and the customer,ultimately,loses. Unfortunately,the City does not have the authority to force providers to replace their infrastructure or upgrade transmission equipment. Another concern that is often raised is the lack of effective competition in Iowa City. Lack of competition for line-based cable/Internet providers is unfortunately quite common in cities of our size,where a potential new provider must determine whether the extremely high upfront investment to build its own system (which, for an entire community, can cost in the tens of millions of dollars)will pay off quickly enough to make it a good deal. Again,it all comes down to whether the company believes it can be profitable here. With another cable company already in place,it immediately lessens this potential. One company, ImOn,out of Hiawatha, Marion, and Cedar Rapids,has begun to provide some business Internet services here in Iowa City over the past year and a half. My hope is that they will experience enough success to give them a positive outlook on the potential for providing residential services. Again,this is a business decision they must make on their own. With technology always developing,such as improvements in wireless transmission technology, I could see opportunities opening up in the future for companies to provide services without the need for such a high initial investment,which could reduce the risks and shorten the period for returns. Also,you may have heard of some communities creating their own cable/Internet utilities. We sometimes get asked why Iowa City doesn't have it's own municipal broadband system. In many 1 cases,cities who have been able to establish their own systems,such as Cedar Falls,already have their own electrical utilities in place,which makes it much more cost-effective to build out infrastructure for cable/Internet. Though our authority is limited,we do continue to have a successful relationship with the local Mediacom office to help residents get their technical and billing issues resolved. I have also made connections with CenturyLink and, if you like,would be happy to facilitate further investigation of any issues you may be having. I will reach out to CenturyLink to ask for its explanation regarding the lack of consistent service speeds across town and the process for determining whether to upgrade equipment to increase speeds in an area. I hope this information is helpful in understanding these issues,but please let me know if I can answer any other questions or provide additional assistance. I'd also be glad to chat more about this sometime in person when you stop in before or after a Johnson County Board of Supervisors meeting you're covering.

The Office of Location and Environment is completing this study in three phases. The first two phases were completed between 2013 and 2016 and involved data gathering, an initial report, and ranking of rest areas on the existing system. The third phase utilized both the initial report and these rankings to develop an implementation strategy for the rest area system. A draft of this Implementation Plan is now available for review and comment. You are receiving this email in our effort to also begin the conversation with local public agencies in the vicinity of the rest areas and the interstate system. We completed initial public involvement as a part of the data collection effort through surveys and are now expanding that effort in review of the draft implementation plan. We will be releasing this information to the general public for comment on or near June 21, 2018 and will be keeping the comment period open until September 2019. This is longer than usual because we want to be able to better evaluate the success of our real time truck parking availability system and make any necessary adjustments before moving forward with the plan. This system will be operational sometime in early 2019. We appreciate your feedback and are asking interested parties to take a few minutes to view the online video and to review the materials on the website. The website also offers a way for those interested to provide comment, support, and to request additional information regarding this study. The website is located at https://iowadot.gov/restareaplan/home. In addition, you may also request additional information regarding the Iowa Rest Area Management Plan by contacting the Iowa DOT's Office of Location and Environment, 800 Lincoln Way, Ames, Iowa 50010, phone 515-239-1225. Thank you for your time. We look forward to hearing from you.

We need to get ready for the coming changes. To avoid catastrophic effects of climate change,the Paris Accord established a limit of global average temperature increase of 2C.To meet that limit, the world must rapidly reduce and eliminate fossil fuel consumption.We have waited so long to make meaningful cuts to fossil fuel use that now,the cuts we need must happen so quickly that the effect will be similar to a collapse. (http://bit.ly/2v9JuH6) It looks like we're not going to meet the goals of the Paris Accord. No major industrialized is meeting its commitments under the Paris Accord. (https://go.nature.com/2w6d2S1) Here in the US, neither major political party has the will to eliminate use of fossil fuel.Some climate scientists have predicted a change of between 7C and 10 C, changes big enough to endanger the survival of the human race. One "optimistic" scientist has said that change will be limited to 4C, because civilization will collapse, limiting further greenhouse gas emissions. (http://bit.ly/1JIpGgB) Climate change is just part of the more general problem of overshoot. In 1972, The Limits to Growth predicted collapse due not only to environmental problems, but also the depletion of finite resources.The book was largely dismissed, but a recent look at how the predictions from The Limits to Growth have fared has shown that the world is still on track for global collapse. In fact, according to the study,we are in the early stages of collapse. (http://bit.ly/2bQGhhV) So it's past time that we begin to ready for collapse.There are three broad issues that we should address. First, we need to prepare to deal with refugees. Millions of people will be fleeing increasing heat in the south and flooding along the coasts. In fact, we already have absorbed Katrina refugees from Louisiana.This problem will accelerate. We need to have a plan in place. Second,we need to plan for less and less help from outside our area. Federal, regional and even state resources will be stretched to the breaking point.We should assume that we'll be left to our own devices to cope with local problems. Already,the Federal government has proven inadequate to deal with major disasters.We should inventory our assets, what we have locally that will help us or be available for barter with nearby communities, and we need to account for our deficits, needs that will be difficult to meet.Then we should plan ways to mitigate deficits and build on assets. For example, we're fortunate to have a university with a pharmacy college that can synthesize drugs, at least on a small scale--that's an asset. We lack local sources of energy--that's a deficit. Finally, we need to make plans for an orderly out-migration of the local population, should it come to that.The local area may eventually be unable to support its population. We need to identify regions that could accept refugees and develop relationships and assets along potential migration routes. Unpleasant as the topic is,we need to start talking about collapse now,the sooner, the better. If we're lucky,these scientific predictions of collapse will prove to be overstated or even wrong. But right now, it looks ominous,and we need to begin to take action.Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

We are writing to encourage you to expand late night and weekend service. While some of us have personal vehicles and work during the day on weekdays, many do not. There are many in our communities who depend on public transit (both SEATS and city buses) and having service available for late shift jobs as well as community events would make a difference in their lives.

Since last year,the City Council has enacted zoning restrictions that limit the sales of fireworks to industrial areas in the community.Thus,there will be significantly fewer points of sale compared to last year. Additionally,the Police Department is taking a zero tolerance approach to enforcement and will be issuing citations to people using prohibited fireworks within city limits. It is our hope that the combination of sales restrictions and aggressive enforcement will more effectively reduce neighborhood nuisances caused by the illegal use of fireworks. You are encouraged to report any use of fireworks in your neighborhood to the Iowa City Police Department.

We appreciate your work on the upcoming transit study and would like to offer our ideas for the betterment of the regional systems. Based on our research,the residents and businesses of Johnson County are reliant on dependable, affordable, and inclusive transportation. Thus,we believe it is imperative that the following issues within our transit systems are addressed. 1) All bus passes should be honored on both bus systems. Currently, 10-ride and single ride passes are not honored between transit systems. This can make it extremely confusing, costly and inefficient for workers who use connecting routes. Allowing for the universal use of all passes would help enable riders to find and maintain employment. 2) Bus routes should be revised and updated to serve our growing communities in Johnson County. Of residents who responded to our 2015 community transportation survey, 35 percent said they had lost a job or gave up looking for a job they wanted due to limited transportation*.The current bus routes do not provide efficient and convenient service. Many trips require multiple buses to reach vital destinations. Additionally, 40 percent of residents who responded had issues with the frequency of busses*. 3) Provide Sunday and late night transportation options. The current bus schedule does not provide sufficient service to the many residents who work night shifts and weekends. Of the people who responded to the 2015 community transportation survey, 75 percent had issues getting to work between 6pm and 7am*. In 2018, fifty percent of employers rated transportation options for workers as fair to poor. Hiring managers reported an impact on over 600 employees. 4) Consolidate transit systems. Some of the most successful transit systems in the United States are unified under one transit agency, even places with large universities, such as Athens (GA), Champaign (IL), and Eugene (OR). Change obviously doesn't happen overnight. However, we owe it to the people of Johnson County to explore these ideas. Transportation is a crucial element to a successful community. We believe that building on the quality of our transit systems will greatly benefit our communities. We ask that these issues be included in the upcoming transportation study and that the committee may discuss its goals with members of city council. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, The members of Community Transportation Committee *CTC Survey Data- http://www.ctcjc.org/research.html 2018 Community Transportation Employer Survey Overall Satisfaction With Transit Options In May of 2018, the Community Transportation Committee surveyed 53 employers in the Coralville, Iowa City, and North Liberty region.
