ENTITLED "PROHIBITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS," TO ALLOW THE FARMERS
MARKET TO TAKE PLACE ON WASHINGTON STREET AND TO ALLOW THE
SALE AND CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL AT THE FARMERS MARKET. (FIRST

~p_ ~..3g,4 REQUIREMENTS. (PASS AND ADOPT)
Comment: A taxicab company recently inquired whether it could place an electronic
sign on the top of the vehicle roof to sell advertising. The City Code does not prohibit
these signs, and although the state code prohibits "flashing lights" on vehicles, it does
not define that term. In the opinion of the County Attorney, the electric sign in question is
a flashing light under the state code but cautioned that a judge may disagree. Staff
believes that these electronic signs are a distraction and recommends that the City
specifically prohibit them on taxis. The proposed definitions of electronic and automated
signs are identical to their definitions in the zoning code. The proposed ordinance also
clarifies that no taxicab can pass inspection without complying with the City Code and
the equipment requirements under the state code. Staff memorandum included in
Council packet.

Comment: The City Code presently provides that the City may issue six permits for
mobile vendors in city plaza and two permits on Iowa Avenue. Because vendors prefer
to be located on city plaza due to more "foot traffic," this ordinance provides that all
eight vendors may be on city plaza. The City Code also requires that vendors operate
during certain hours. The ordinance decreases the minimum number of hours because
vendors report limited sales during these times. ~~~,~,~'"'

ITEM 25. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION ADOPTING AN ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE OF
UNPAID MOWING, CLEAN-UP OF PROPERTY,SNOW REMOVAL, SIDEWALK
REPAIR, AND STOP BOX REPAIR CHARGES AND DIRECTING THE CLERK TO
CERTIFY THE SAME TO THE JOHNSON COUNTY TREASURER FOR
COLLECTION IN THE SAME MANNER AS PROPERTY TAXES.
Comment: The City has the authority under Iowa Code §364.136 to assess the
nuisance abatement costs in the same manner as a property tax. This resolution
allows the City Clerk to certify to the Johnson County Treasurer the abatement cost to
be assessed against the property. This assessment is being pursued only after the City
took many steps to resolve the matter. The City notified the home owners to abate the
nuisance (for example, to remove snow from the sidewalk) and after the home owner
did not take action to abate the nuisance, the City abated the nuisance and billed the
owner. After being billed at least twice, these owners still have not paid the abatement
costs. The City has sent a letter to the home owner giving them notice that this
resolution would be on the agenda, a copy of which is attached to the resolution. No

ITEM 26. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPR VING A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTI-USE PARKING FACILITY, WHICH REQUEST FOR
/O- ~a. PROPOSAL SETS OUT MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, COMPETITIVE CRITERIA, AND
A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND INCLUDES PROVISION FOR DISPOSITION
OF CERTAIN PROPERTY OWNED BY AND LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY, WHICH
PROPERTY IS CONTEMPLATED TO BE INCLUDED IN A FUTURE URBAN
RENEWAL AREA OR AN AMENDMENT TO AN EXISTING URBAN RENEWAL AREA.
Comment: The City desires to construct amulti-use parking facility providing for a
parking component (approximately 600 spaces), commercial component (25,000-30,000
square feet) and a residential component (25-75 workforce housing units) located on
property owned by the City (the former St. Pat's Parish Hall site). The City believes that
such a Project will assist economic development in the area consistent with Urban
Renewal Laws and consequently is contemplating adopting a new urban renewal area
or amending an existing area. The City desires that a private developer assist the City
and its staff and architects in the design of the commercial space and workforce housing
space of the proposed Project with eventual purchase by the selected developer of one
or both of the commercial space and workforce housing space, in the form of separate
commercial and residential condominium units. The City intends to maintain and
operate the parking component itself. The Request for Proposal contains the minimum
requirements each proposal submitted by a developer must satisfy in order to qualify for
consideration under the competitive criteria described in the Request for Proposal and
required by urban renewal laws. Staff memorandum included in Council packet.
