Thank you for the City creek stabilization grant to help stop our soil loss into Willow Creek.
Attached are photos of our back yard and the Abbey neighbors East and West of us as our project was done. Access was
only available through my property. Davidson Excavation was wonderful, fast, hard working and did an excellent job. I
tried to give him snacks or Gatorade but he didn't want to stop working.
Using my property as a demo I am planning a meeting with others along the creek on Abbey and Plaen View to show
them how to fill out the application. Ours was the worst erosion but a few others need theirs done soon.
Thank you again.

Tim Borchardt: Hate Crime Ordinance
Item Number: 9.b.

Subject: Hate Crime Ordinance
Councilors,
I read the article in the PC and have a few questions.
1) There were 20 calls/complaints for hate crime assistance in 2017/18. How many of those complaints resulted in
charges filed ?
2) How is it that Chief Matherly is asked to speak about a crime topic and doesn't have the most current figures? If the
current year is tracking like 17118 the Chief would have to investigate 3 to 7 crimes in the first 6 months of the year, not a
tall task. Maybe hate reported crimes for assistance are down the first 6 months of the year ---so saying "I don't have the
information" is easier to say than reports for assistance regarding hate crimes is down.
It is a said day that our local newspaper doesn't have answers for the public on this issue but is simply willing to swallow
hook line and sinker whatever the Councilors/Chief tell them. It really looks like we are after " Feel Good" legislation" that
is in search of a crime.

Carol deProsse: Deer Control [Staff response included]
Kellie Fruehling
From: Geoff Fruin
Sent: Friday, June 07, 2019 1:58 PM
To: 'Carol deProsse'; Council
Subject: RE: Deer Control
Hi Carol,
The City Council directed staff to prepare a five-year plan for presentation to the Natural Resources
Commission (NRC). The plan will include one year of sharpshooting with a goal to reduce the deer population
to under 10 per square mile. The remaining four years are to include annual deer counts and non -lethal
management strategies. Any reference to fencing in the non -lethal management strategies will be aimed at
educating the public on types of fencing that may deter deer from their property.
We will present the plan to Council on June 18th and, assuming approval, will submit it to the NRC in July
I hope this clarifies where things stand.

I have heard that the Mayor Throgmorton has directed the staff to come up with a non -lethal plan for deer
control in Iowa City and that Ass't. City Attorney Sue Dulek said this would include such measures as fencing as
whistles.
If this is true then PLEASE, STOP NOW - DO NOT PROCEED. There are no non -lethal methods that will cost
less than probably $4.7 million dollars and enclose the city in electrified barbwire.
Thanks,

If the City of Iowa City Council does not see to replacing the bricks that are missing on Linn and Burlington Streets, I will
have to run for City Council myself to see that the sidewalks are safe for the disabled and those dismounting the buses.
I will not be a pleasant fellow Council member because I will see that things are done besides building bike trails which
narrow the streets and block traffic.
Too many promises are made; few are kept.
This is my third complaint about the Linn and Burlington Street location outside of Mail Boxes.

Subject: Climate Crisis
Dear Mayor, Councilors and City Management:
Last evening five members of 100Grannies for a Sustainable Future attended the Council's listening post at Lemme
School ably hosted by John Thomas and Bruce Teague. They got an earful regarding our earth's climate crisis and the
City's policy to address it. We appreciated their patience and willingness to listen.
One thing they asked of us was to provide information on what we know that other cities have done. Following are links
to such information. You may receive more as time goes on. In some cases you may have to use a search box on a site
to find exactly what you are looking for, such as "permeable alleys" on the Dubuque site.
We hope you will be bold, resourceful and committed to change.
We consider the most important document link is to 'GAME CHANGERS: Bold Actions by Cities to Accelerate Progress
Toward Carbon Neutrality,': http://carbonneutralcities.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/CNCA-Game-Changers-Report-
2018.pdf .
The link http://theconversation.com/one-wawpromote-green-infrastructure-in-your-cit -7y 8975 talks about natural
assets that can provide communities with invaluable ecosystem services that clean our air, filter our water, mitigate natural
disasters and improve quality of life. Scroll down to see what Stillwater, MN, has done.
Take a look at the benefits of retrofitting commercial buildings: https://www.lime-energy.com/a-solution-to-the-small-
commercial-building energy -retrofit -challenge/
We also feel the City is neglecting the potential of river power: htti)s://www.smart-hydro.de/renewable-energy-
systems/hydrokinetic-turbines-river-canaF
A natural air purifier from Denmark to supplement loss of trees: https://ueencitysolutions.de/en/
Many if not most of Iowa City's alleys are a mess. See what Dubuque and Cedar Falls are doing with their alleys:
https://www.cityofdubuque,oriz/1 818/Green-Alley-Reconstruction
htips://www.cleanwateriowa.org/success-stories/2017/10/31 /city -of -cedar -falls -improving -water -quality -with permeable -
pavement
Chicago, San Francisco and other cities are also installing permeable alleys.
The alley behind my home received a neighborhood PIN grant last year to be scraped and regraveled. Within a week after
that was done (not very well), a rainstorm washed out all the new gravel and left the alley worse than ever. What a waste
of labor and materials! And where did all that storm water go? What about all the storms this spring? Lots of storm
water.
I have a dream that Iowa City will start using permeable paving in alleys, parking lots, new developments, etc. This
should have started with the Ped Mall. The City provides funds to homeowners for rain gardens, permeable paved
sidewalks and patios because this saves the city money in stormwater treatment. Why doesn't the City use this method
itself?
There are an infinite number of solutions to implement that would put Iowa City at the forefront of confronting the
climate crisis. Let's use them!

To: Council
Subject: SHUTTING DOWN POLICE STATION ON EAST SIDE
With the growth of the City of Iowa City from a town to a small urban city, police protection becomes more necessary.
Murders are increasing throughout the State of Iowa and people will lose confidence in Iowa City as a safe place for
children as well as students who attend from out of town.
The small savings from closing the station is not worth the price of law suits.
How much will Ic save, and how much will it cost in the end.

Derrius Epic: Landlord scam
Item Number: 9.g.
Kellie Fruehling
From: D Epic <sagacntd@gmail.com>
Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2019 10:23 AM
To: Council
Subject: Landlord scam
My name is Derrius and I will get right to the point. I find it disgusting that landlords are permitted to tell an interested
person in their property that they would like to do a background check and charge them for the action. This is a practice
Iowa city has been letting go on for too long we do not have money to just give away to prospective landlords for
background checks that they are initiating. I strongly feel if they want to do a background check they should have to be
held responsible for payment themselves. Let's build a wall and make Mexico pay for it,let's check their backgrounds and
make them pay for it, what is the difference? Just the product. Landlords are only required to do the bare minimum to
their rentals which is why a lot of the places are turning into slums because landlords are not held accountable if they
want to be landlords their properties should be up to par and worth whatever they are charging to rent it. There in rent
in Johnson County price gouging is happening in rental units.Charging for a piece of paper needs to be dealt with
immediately and if a landlord wants to check a person's background they should pay out of their own pocket. There are
background checking programs on the internet that start at a dollar so why are they being allowed to charge up to $35
even when they know they are not going to rent to a prospective tenant they still are allowed to charge that tenant,?
this is scamming! This is a disgrace in the community and the only people who are smiling are the landlords. At a
hundred people who give one landlord $35 per app and that landlord makes a killing for handing out a hundred pieces of
paper and only using one program for 9.99 a month to look up every tenant that he is charging for an application this is
a crime. My fine people you are an accessory to this crime for allowing this to happen you are there for the entire
Community not just the owners of properties! Someone needs to step up and do their jobs and stop this from happening
this is not a fair practice and anyone with common sense knows this do your jobs please!

effectiveness of the CPRB. This will allow the Council to receive
information needed to be aware of concerns related to the function of the
CPRB, and make decisions/changes when necessary. This will also be
especially beneficial in cases in which a CPRB member(s) do not feel
comfortable airing concerns related to the inner workings of the CPRB
openly during CPRB meetings.
2. Section 3 of Article III of the Community Police Review Board Bylaws for shall be
amended to read as follows (with additions shown in bold and underline):
Orientation for New Members. Prior to the first regular meeting

Police Department, the Board by-laws, open records law, open meetings
law, the name of the council member appointed by the City Council to

Across the U.S. over 90 cities, more than ten counties
and two states, have already adopted ambitious 100%
clean energy goals. Six cities in the U.S.--Aspen,
Burlington, Georgetown, Greensburg, Rock port, and
Kodiak Island --have already hit their targets. Thes6
six cities now generate 100% of the energy u" M
community -wide from clean, non-polluting and�_.�_
renewable sources. A city commitment to 1 00wlFm M
renewable energy is a mandate for action. D
Numerous U.S. cities have made public commitments
to cut carbon and address climate change through
initiatives like the Compact of Mayors, We Are Still In,
or by establishing their own Climate Action Plans.
Building on this history of climate leadership, we are
calling on cities to transition to 100% clean, renewable
energy.

100% Commitment Guidelines D Na
Ln
When crafting a commitment to 100% renewable energy, Ready
For 100 recommends that the adopted goal includes the
following elements:
Community -wide Electricity Use: A full transition of the
electricity sector to clean, renewable energy;
By 2035: A target year for when this commitment will be
achieved no later than 2035 for electricity and 2050 for all
energy sectors;
Ensure Justice, Equity, Affordability, and Access: A
commitment should include measures that prioritize equity
affordability, and access for all members of the
community, prioritizing low income communities,
environmental justice communities and communities
burdened by the fossil fuel industry.
Clean and Renewable Resources Only: This includes
carbon and pollution free energy sustainably collected
from renewable sources including wind, solar, tidal, and
geothermal. Low -impact, small hydro and some forms of
biomass may be included after being evaluated for
sustainability and environmental justice implications.
Nuclear, natural gas, coal, oil based, or any other forms of
carbon -based energy production are not included as
clean or renewable sources of energy. Sierra Club's
complete energy policy can be found here.
o A Transparent and Inclusive Planning and Implementation

businesses have an opportunity to participate. _ o
o .o —
D� x
Strong commitments also include: �� o
• All Energy Sectors: A commitment to transitionTOtherr.;
energy sectors to 100% including transportation and"'
heating and cooling;
• A Local Generation Goal: A goal for how much of the
community's energy needs will be met by local, distributed
generation;
• Near term implementation steps: At least the first year
and ideally a five year plan;
• Commitment to Collaboration: A commitment to work with
surrounding communities in achieving aligned clean
energy and equity goals;
Commitment to Advocate: A commitment to advocate for
policies or regulations at the state, regional and/or federal
level that aid the city in their transition
Powered by 100% Renewable Energy: A community is powered
with 100% renewable energy when the amount of energy generated
from renewable energy sources in the community (or brought into it)
equals or exceeds 100% of the annual energy consumed within the
community.
Working towards 100% Renewable Energy: A number of
communities have pledged support for 100% clean energy, and some
are demonstrating support for a transition to 100% clean energy by
investing in renewable energy for municipal operations. To see a list
of cities that have invested in renewable energy for their municipal
operations check out EPA's Green Power Communities. To see a list

From: Anne Russett, Senior Planner
Re: CU19-1, S&G Materials Conditional Use Permit
Background
S & G Materials has applied to Johnson County for a conditional use permit to expand its
current hours of operation for the mining of sand and gravel. The extension is requested to
increase preparedness for flood and severe weather events.
The property is located at 4059 Izaak Walton League Road SE south of Iowa City and west of
the Iowa River. The applicant's property is located in Fringe Area C of the Fringe Area Policy
Agreement but is outside of the Iowa City Growth Boundary. The Agreement states,
"[Developments] which are not within Iowa City's growth area [but within the Fringe Area] which
are zoned for non-farm development... may occur in conformance with Johnson County's
Unified Development Ordinance and City Rural Design Standards." The Johnson County
Zoning Ordinance permits cities to review conditional use permits for applications within their
extra -territorial jurisdiction. Conditional use permits require a 4/5 -majority vote of the Johnson
County Board of Adjustment to approve a permit opposed by the City Council.
In 2000, the applicant applied for and was granted a conditional use permit for the sand mining
operations conditioned upon dust -free maintenance of Izaak Walton Road SE. In 2006, a
second conditional use permit was granted to expand the sand mining operations conditioned
on the applicant improving the entrance to Izaak Walton Road SE from Oak Crest Hill Road and
the applicant implementing a Wetland Mitigation Plan. In 2010, an amendment was issued for
the previous conditional use permit to allow concrete and asphalt recycling on a temporary
basis, per the Johnson County Unified Development Ordinance, which states that Asphalt and
Concrete Recycling Plants are conditionally allowed for temporary operation only, in the A -
Agricultural zoning district. In 2016, the applicant was granted a conditional use permit to
conduct sand and gravel mining on the southernmost portion of their property, the area known
as Bright Farm South. The City concurred with approval of all of these previous permits.
Proposed Request
The applicant is now seeking a conditional use permit to expand its current hours of operation
for the mining of sand and gravel materials from 7 AM — 5 PM Monday through Friday and 7 AM
— 12 PM on Saturday to 7 AM — 7 PM Monday through Friday from March 1 — April 30 and
October 1 — December 1. The Saturday hours will remain the same. The applicant notes that
during the extended hours the activities would include the use of an electric dredge and one
large front-end load. The site would not be open to the public during these extended hours. The
extension is requested to increase preparedness for flood and severe weather events.
The conditions associated with the existing conditional use permits for the property, such as
maintaining compliance with the Wetland Mitigation Plan and restricting mine traffic to Izaak
Walton Road, would be carried forward. Furthermore, the City has not had any problems with
the current operations of the use and does not anticipate any problems with the proposed
expansion of hours.
May 10, 2019
Page 2
Because this property is not within the City's growth area, it is not likely to be annexed into the
city within the foreseeable future. Furthermore, the site is in the flood plain and partially in the
flood way, giving it low development potential.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council forward a letter to the Johnson County Board of
Adjustment, recommending that an application submitted by S & G Materials to Johnson County
for a conditional use permit to expand its hours of operation for the mining of sand and gravel
materials at 4059 Izaak Walton Road SE be approved subject to the existing conditions.

1.) The location map forth is application is provided in Figures 1A and 1B. 1A outlines the
location of the property in relation to urban areas. Figure 1 B identifies the location of the
properties owned and operated by S&G Materials Company.
2.) The proposed use of the site identified in Figure 2 is a sand and gravel mining operation.
This site will be accessed by Izaak Walton League Road and then an access road along the
western edge of the property to the north. Izaak Walton League Road was improved (to
mitigate for dust and safety issues) during application to Johnson County by S & G Materials
for the first Conditional Use Permit for the property to the North.
Number of Employees:
S & G Materials Company plans to employ a maximum of up to 10 permanent employees and
five seasonal employees at the mining site.
Parking facilities are provided on site near a small maintenance building (Shop area) with a
gravel parking area (See Figure 2).
Days and hours of operation are currently 7am — 5:00 pm Monday through Friday and 7am —
12pm on Saturdays.
This "shop area" is serviced by a septic system, authorized by the Johnson County Health
Department in 2003.
Equipment to be used during striping operations to prepare the site for dredging will include
backhoes, bulldozers and trucks. During the dredging process, a hydraulic dredge will remove
material and transport it to a "new plant/storage" site (Figure 2).
Signage is minimal with only the necessary safety signs and identification signs required by
law. These will be erected throughout the property as necessary.
No new structures are proposed for addition to the Bright Farm Properties
Supplemental Conditions — Addressed here:
1. S & G Materials Company will not be withdrawing water from the Iowa River; hence it is
not necessary to obtain approval for withdrawal of water from the Iowa Natural
Resource Council or the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. A copy of a letter from
the Iowa DNR has been transmitted to Johnson County officials stating this.
2. S & G Materials Company has obtained approval for operation in a flood plain. A copy
of this license has been provided by the IDALS Division of Mines and Minerals.
3. S & G Materials Company has a valid license to operate the Bright Farm North and
South Sand and Gravel Plant from the Iowa Department of Soil Conservation — Division
of Mines and Minerals. A copy of this license has been provided by the IDALS Division
of Mines and Minerals.
4. S & G Materials maintains a valid license from the Division of Mines and Minerals. A
letter validating the authenticity of this license has been provided by the IDALS Division
of Mines and Minerals.
5. The proposed sand and gravel mining operation is not located any closer than 1000 feet
to any property zoned AR and any zoned Residential. The extent of mining operations is
not within the 1000 foot boundary.
6. S & G Materials Company agrees to provide a buffer area which prohibits excavation
within 50 feet of any adjoining property under separate ownership and any and all public
right of way unless otherwise required by law or other special circumstances.
7. S & G Materials Company agrees to take all precautions and provide such maintenance
as may be necessary to prevent fugitive dust contamination along the principal access
to the activity. The main road which accesses the scale house is Izaak Walton League
Road, and S & G Materials Company has already black -topped this road for a previous
application.
8. The 401/404 Clean Water Act federal and state permit has been requested. If received,
S & G Materials Company will be required by federal law to follow a prescribed
reclamation plan that meets federal and state standards. S & G Materials Company will
be required to assume the costs of constructing the reclaimed areas and the costs
associated with having the reclaimed areas monitored (for a period of five years) by a
professional biologist who will make annual reports to both the US Army Corps of
Engineers and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). Any costs
associated with re-establishment of reclamation areas that are identified as "failing" will
be assumed by S & G Materials Company. The "mitigation plan" devised for the US
Army Corps of Engineers and the IDNR should more than adequately meet the
requirements of a reclamation plan as requested by Johnson County (see copy of
Wetland Mitigation Plan S & G Materials Company - Bright Farm South, Johnson
County Iowa — copy provided).

where the parking is for the residential buildings. Russett said the parking lot that is in front of
those two buildings will not remain and there are plans for development there.
Martin raised the issue of turning into this area from Gilbert Street and noted getting in and out of
the building that houses Red Ginger is incredibility difficult. She is also concerned about
pedestrian safety in this area. Heitner stated there would be some pedestrian infrastructure put
in place in the 40 foot right-of-way and there will be improvements from what is there currently.
Hensch opened the public hearing.
Randy Miller (3855 Locust Ridge Road, North Liberty) is the applicant for this rezoning and came
forward for questions. He noted they did removed the cement block building on the parcel and
have tried to clean up the area. The proposed building will follow the same concepts as the
other buildings in Phases One and Two.
Signs asked if the street west of building one will connect with 1St Street. Miller confirmed it
would.
Miller also addressed the pedestrian issues and is trying to get a pedestrian crossing put in by
2nd Street and have a formal bus stop in the area.
Parsons asked about concerns for parking once the area is developed. The Alexander Lumber
parking lot was used heavily for people who go to Big Grove and once that parking lot is
development he wonders where all the people will park. Miller said they are working on some
idea, there are currently about 70 parking spaces in that lot and when the next two buildings are
done there will still be about 70 spots, they will just be around the building. He also feels once
the sidewalks are in and the park is complete more people will walk and bike to the area.
Hensch closed the public hearing.
Parsons moved to recommend approval of REZ19-4, a request to rezone approximately
0.20 acres of property located at the southwest corner of E. 1st St. and S. Gilbert St. from
Intensive Commercial (CI -1) and (P-1) to Riverfront Crossing -South Gilbert (RFC -SG),
subject to the following conditions:
3. Any new residential development in the subject area must satisfy the affordable
housing requirements set forth in section 14-2G-8 of the City Code.
4. The developer shall dedicate 40' of right-of-way along the west side of the S.
Gilbert St. frontage to the City.
Townsend seconded the motion.
A vote was taken and the motion carried 5-0.
CASE NO. CU19-1:
Applicant: S & G Materials Company, Inc.
Location: 4059 Izaak Walton League Road SE, Fringe Area C

Russett showed an aerial of the subject property, it is located along the Iowa River south of Iowa
City and outside the City's Growth Boundary. Most the surrounding area is zone agricultural. In
terms of background on this request and why the Commission is reviewing the application,
Russett stated the Johnson County Zoning Ordinance permits cities to review the conditional use
permits for applications within their two mile fringe area. The recommendation from this
Commission will go to Council and their recommendation will be forwarded onto the Johnson
County Board of Adjustment. In 2000 this property was granted a conditional use permit for the
sand mining operations. In 2006 there was a second conditional use permit was granted to
expand the sand mining operations and in 2010, an amendment was issued for the previous
conditional use permit to allow concrete and asphalt recycling on a temporary basis, and then in
2016, the applicant was granted a conditional use permit to conduct sand and gravel mining on
the southernmost portion of their property. The City concurred with approval of all of these
previous permits. The current request is to expand current hours of operation for the mining of
sand and gravel materials. The current hours of operation are 7 AM — 5 PM Monday through
Friday and 7 AM - 12 PM on Saturday. They are proposing new hours of 7 AM — 7 PM Monday
through Friday from March 1 — April 30 (to deal with flooding events) and October 1 — December
1 (to deal with winter storm events). The Saturday hours will remain the same. Russett also
noted all the conditions currently associated with this permit would be carried forward. Russett
showed a map from the applicant showing the areas where they are currently mining, there are
two areas, Bright Farm North and Bright Farm South and the extended hours of operation would
apply to both these areas.
Staff recommends that the City Council forward a letter to the Johnson County Board of
Adjustment, recommending that an application submitted by S & G Materials to Johnson County
for a conditional use permit to expand its hours of operation for the mining of sand and gravel
materials at 4059 Izaak Walton Road SE be approved subject to the existing conditions.
Martin questioned what the area of distance for the County to notify neighbors of changes.
Russett believes it is also 300 feet. Martin noted there are a lot of houses in that area that are
likely more than 300 feet away but in the past there have been complaints about the noise. She
asked if the extended hours would only be in cases when they are needed, in case of flooding or
storms, and Russett confirmed that was the plan.
Parson questioned the time period of October 1 — December 1 for winter storm events when
most of the snow will fall after December 1. Hensch presumes it is to get stock piles ready for
events later in the season.
Hensch asked how far it was to the Iowa City limits. Russett said it is pretty far north and not
shown on the map provided. Hensch also acknowledged disappointment that there was no
applicant representative present because he wanted to ask about a telephone on a public
address system that he can hear from his house in the south side of Iowa City and it appears to
be coming from a quarry operation. When there is a phone call it rings loudly so the workers in
the quarry can hear it but then so can all of the south side of Iowa City. He asked if the City can
put any stipulation on this approval like noise control. Martin agrees, noise concerns should be
incorporated into the letter that goes forward. Hensch noted it would be best to address it now
rather than after there are issues and complaints from neighbors.
Hensch opened the public hearing.
Seeing no one, Hensch closed the public hearing.

PLANNING AND ZONING INFORMATION:
Russett noted the Forest View rezoning and preliminary plat Council continued the public hearing
for several meetings and voted on the first consideration at the last meeting, the vote was 7-0 in
favor of the rezoning. There have been a few changes to the project, a major one is Council has
removed the gas station and that parcel of land will be dedicated to the City as public open
space. Also the three local landmark items that came before the Commission were all approved
by Council (Senior Center, Ned Aston House and City Park Cabins).
Russett also noted July 4 is on a Thursday this year, so the meeting will be rescheduled to July
3. Also staff is working on a form -based code with a consulting firm for a portion of the South
District and the consulting firm will be in town July 24 and staff is hoping to have a joint Council
and Commission work session to discuss the project.

RE: Conditional Use Permit for S&G Materials, 4059 Izaak Walton League Road SE
Dear Members of the Board,
The Iowa City City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission have reviewed the
request from S&G Materials for a conditional use permit to expand its current hours of
operation for the mining of sand and gravel. The Johnson County Unified Development
Ordinance requires City review for conditional use permits for property within the fringe
area.
At its May 23 meeting, the Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval of the conditional use permit subject to the existing conditions that exist for the
property, such as maintaining compliance with the Wetland Mitigation Plan and
restricting mine traffic to Izaak Walton Road. The Planning and Zoning Commission also
requested that the Johnson County Board of Adjustment consider a condition to
address concerns related to amplified noise.
On June 18, the City Council reviewed the conditional use permit application and
concurred with the Planning and Zoning Commission and recommend approval of the
conditional use permit subject to the existing conditions and requests that the Johnson
County Board of Adjustment consider a condition to address amplified noise.
Thank you for your consideration of our comments on this application.
Sincerely,
G 4
