Date: March 17, 2010 `
To: City Council
From: Douglas Boothroy, r f oust g and Inspection Services
Re: Code Enforcement of Nei boyhood Nuisa a/Zoning Violations
The question has been raised by City Council as to whether or not neighborhood code
enforcement by Housing and Inspection Services (HIS) can be more proactive.
Background
a. Complaint-activated enforcement
Historically, enforcement of nuisance/zoning laws has been primarily complaint-
activated. This is the common method of nuisance/zoning enforcement for communities.
It relies on citizens to report code violation cases to the City. In Iowa City, Housing
Inspectors do initiate some of the "complaint" violation cases as a result of doing
inspections in the area of the violation (e.g., parking on the grass next door to a property
undergoing a rental inspection). Residents can report a complaint twenty-four hours a
day, seven days a week with access to the City's online service "Report a Problem." In
2009, HIS received approximately 1,967 complaints (see attached Type of Complaints
chart). All complaints were investigated, and generally within 24 hours. The status of
complaint cases is also available on the City's website.
b. Proactive Enforcement
Proactive enforcement means HIS would "initiate" preventive as well as "targeted"
inspections. Examples of some existing HIS proactive enforcement activities are:
1. Rental housing inspection and licensing program every two years for all rental
property (16,591 rental units).
2. Nuisance rental property enforcement (police reports are reviewed daily).
3. "Couch" regulations restricting outdoor storage of furniture inspections (targeted
neighborhood-wide inspections yearly).
4. Informational Disclosure and Acknowledgment Form is a required lease
addendum for all rental properties. The addendum is a yearly acknowledgement
by both landlord and tenants certifying they understand certain City laws relating
to occupancy, trash, parking, etc. (see attached Informational Disclosure and
Acknowledgement form).
5. Building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, energy codes enforced with all new
construction.
March 17, 2010
Page 2
6. Construction and erosion control regulations enforced with every new subdivision
and new construction project.
7. Retroactive requirement for existing bars/restaurants to install sprinkler and
alarm systems.
8. Abandoned building registration and regulation
9. Graffiti enforcement
10. Posting rental permit information online that includes landlords/property manager
contact information
c. Staffing
Nuisance/Zoning Code enforcement has not been staffed at a level to do proactive
enforcement of nuisance/zoning laws. Proactive enforcement of the Housing Code for
owner-occupied properties may be viewed as overly aggressive and intrusive. The
Housing Code allows inspection of owner-occupied homes on a complaint basis.
Generally, rental housing and building inspectors follow up on complaints when time is
available in the inspector's schedule.
The inspectors are fully funded by permit fees. The inspector's first priority is to provide
inspections to customers paying for the service. Housing inspector schedules are very
busy (see attached chart Hours Allocated to Enforcement Activity) July through
December, and this schedule leaves little time for additional inspections.
In order to keep up with neighborhood nuisance/zoning complaints, the City Council in
2005 established the position of Housing Inspector Assistant that is currently funded at
.78 FTE. Also, funding continues to be provided for apart-time temporary summer
employee to investigate primarily weeds/tall grass complaints, but also to follow up on
some neighborhood exterior maintenance issues. These positions are critical to meeting
the demand for complaint inspections from neighborhoods.
Without additional staff, HIS has limited ability to do additional inspections necessary for
new proactive inspection programs. However, I believe HIS can, with neighborhood
support and very targeted inspections, provide some additional code enforcement in
selected neighborhoods.
d. Property-based Nuisances
1. There are basically two types of property-based nuisances:
Physical
These include violations of local building and housing codes and are often
described as "eyesores" or blighted property. These nuisances are often
the result of the owner's lack of maintenance combined with a property
user's irresponsible behavior -whether they are owner, tenants, or
visitors.
The City's building and housing code enforcement programs are
proactive and do an excellent job addressing physical property-based
code issues for new construction and rental properties. Inspectors are
March 17, 2010
Page 3
well-trained and experienced in the enforcement of construction and
maintenance code standards. Code compliance is always achieved.
ii. Behavioral
These generally include violations of criminal law. Descriptions often
range from merely bad neighbors up to chronic criminal nuisance
property. These properties have high numbers of police calls and tenant
criminal activity that result from bad property management.
In 2003, the City began enforcement of the nuisance property regulations.
These regulations specifically address chronic criminal behavior in rental
property. The regulations require police, H.I.S., landlord/property
managers, and tenants to meet after a 2"d offense and agree to a code
compliance plan. This ordinance has been very effective in reducing
repeat "tenant" criminal behavior (see attached chart Criminal Complaint
Violations). However, the ordinance only applies to police cited criminal
behavior that occurs on the property.
Recommendations
a. Provide code enforcement education to neighborhood organizations.
We need neighborhood support and involvement if H.I.S. is to be more active in helping
"clean-up" neighborhoods.
This program would inform neighborhood residents and organizations about code
enforcement procedures. Residents would be trained by HIS to identify violations and
how best to assist inspectors in gaining compliance. Informed residents can be the
,~
Housing Inspectors eyes on the street to more quickly identify potential problems and
violations. Neighborhoods identifying, prioritizing enforcement issues, and working with
inspectors could improve the effectiveness of code enforcement by allowing inspectors
to work smart using neighborhood resources to pinpoint concerns and gain compliance.
Inspectors would concentrate efforts on neighborhood priorities and issues.
b. Require a "crime-free" lease addendum (see attached addendum) to be used by all Iowa
City rental properties. This addendum would put tenants on notice that it is a lease
violation for any tenant charged with engaging in violent and/or drug-related criminal
activity within 1000 feet of the landlord's premises. This addendum is consistent with the
clear and present danger provisions found in 562.A.27A of the Code of Iowa. The
Housing Code would need to be amended to require "Crime-Free" lease addendum for
rental properties.
c. Targeted code enforcement against chronic criminal nuisance property.
Chronic criminal nuisance properties present grave health, safety, and welfare concerns
in certain Iowa City neighborhoods. These properties are also a financial burden to the
City because of repeated police calls for services. Chronic nuisance properties should
not be tolerated, and property owners must be held accountable. H.I.S. would step up
enforcement for these properties seeking rental permit sanctions and development of a
"Code Compliance plan" for each chronic criminal nuisance property. This compliance
plan would require enforcement of "Crime Free" lease provisions.
March 17, 2010
Page 4
d. Distribute "Be Sure You Are Ready to Party" flyer (see attached copy) to all rental units
as part of the regular rental inspection program. This information would be provided to
discourage violations of the Nuisance Property Ordinance.
e. Provide "Mom and Dad" information about their kids' criminal behavior. Parents are
currently not notified about the criminal citations (e.g. disorderly house) their sons or
daughters may have received. Having parents involved may help control student
disorderly behavior. The City will need the cooperation of the University of Iowa in
notifying parents.
f. Improve the City's code enforcement web page to make it easier for residents to track
the status of code violations in their neighborhood. The difficulty is finding the staff time
to reformat the web page. This programming can be done in-house, but needs to be a
priority. Easy to use web page is important public information and important for effective
code enforcement.
Conclusion
These recommendations can be implemented without additional staff. Empowering
neighborhoods through education so that residents can become "eyes on the street" resource
for inspectors will enable more aggressive, proactive enforcement in those neighborhoods that
have identified the need. Chronic criminal nuisance properties need to be eliminated. These few
properties have a tremendous negative impact upon the quality of life, safety, and health of our
neighborhoods. It is essential that a "crime-free" lease addendum be required with every written
or unwritten lease in Iowa City. Adoption of the "crime-free" lease addendum puts landlords and
tenants on notice and sends the message that criminal behavior is not to be tolerated.
Thank you for considering this matter.

BE SURE SOU ARE READ1~ TO PART
You can be a good neighbor, and also have a good time.
Here are few very important reminders before hosting a party at your
residence in Iowa City.
The City of Iowa City adopted a nuisance property ordinance in 2002.
This ordinance is intended to promote a high quality of life in Iowa City's
neighborhoods for all residents.
If you receive a citation by police at your house for any of the following
reasons:
• Disorderly house
• Disorderly conduct
• Possession of alcohol under the legal age
• Possession of a controlled substance
• Interference with official acts
• Obstructing officers
the Iowa City Rental Housing Inspection Division will be mandated to issue
a notice of violation to both you and your landlord. If you receive two criminal
citations within a twelve month period, you will be required, along with your
landlord, to meet with City officials at Clty Hall to discuss and agree to a Code
Compliance Settlement Agreement. The following terms and conditions of
the settlement include but are not limited to:
• Fines totaling over $1,000 per cited person for a third event;
• Immediate eviction of all tenants if a third police citation is issued;
• Limiting the number of guests you may host in your apartment;
• Non-renewal of your lease agreement
The City of Iowa City does not wish to resort to these enforcement measures.
Instead, we encourage you to have fun, be responsible and make sure you
and your guests are considerate of your neighbors.

Attached you will find several documents relating to Council's decision to pursue a change in
the manner in which ECICOG is funded by Johnson County governmental entities, and to the
formation by the Urbanized Area Policy Board of a committee to review the City's proposal.
Council member Susan Mims, your representative on the ECICOG Board, has requested that
this matter be further discussed to assist her in best representing Council's interests, as it
involves a decision made by Council prior to her taking office.
Hopefully the attached information will be helpful in your review of this matter. Please feel free

Re: The JCCOG subcommittee to discuss the funding of East Central Iowa Council of
Governments
At their January 27 meeting the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board formed a
subcommittee to discuss and make a recommendation on how Johnson County local
governments fund the East Central Iowa Council of Governments. Currently, local
governments are assessed on aper-capita basis, with Johnson County paying the per-capita
assessment for the unincorporated population. Because the ECICOG assessment is
reflected in the JCCOG budget, this committee is being formed under, and will be staffed by
JCCOG.
The committee formed by the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board will. have six
representatives from the six local governments represented on the Urban Board (Coralville,
Iowa City, North Liberty, University Heights, Tiffin, Johnson County) and three
representatives from entities on the Rural Policy Board. I do not yet have all the appointed
representatives from the affected entities, and have not yet scheduled a discussion. I intend
to schedule a meeting yet this spring, and to invite senior staff from the affected local
governments as well as the appointed elected officials.

At our January 27 meeting, the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board formed a committee to discuss and
make a recommendation on the ECICOG assessment structure. The committee was formed to include
one representative from each urbanized area local government (Coralville, Iowa City, North Liberty, Tiffin,
University Heights and Johnson County) and the Rural Board included three representatives, including
Solon, Lone Tree and Johnson County. As you have the opportunity, please let me know who your

From: John Yapp, Executive Director ~,;~
Re: ECICOG Funding
At the December 2 JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board meeting,. the FY11 JCCOG
Budget was discussed, including the part of the budget which reflects funding for the
East Central Iowa Council of Governments. It has been the practice since the
formation of JCCOG for ECICOG assessments to be reflected in the JCCOG budget,
based on aper-capita calculation of each Johnson County municipality, with the
County budget paying for the unincorporated population. The ECICOG assessment is
per capita, not explicitly based on the services received (see attached outline of
assessment levels).
In the other counties ECICOG serves, the County funds the entire ECICOG
assessment. As long as ECICOG receives their per-capita assessment, they are
rieutral as to which funding mechanism is used. The ECICOG Director has stated that
in a discussion with the ECICOG Executive Committee, their position is that ECICOG
requires the full Johnson County assessment to continue services to Johnson County.
Recently, Interim City Manager Helling sent a letter to Johnson County and to
ECICOG (attached) indicating that Iowa City intended to not fund ECICOG in FY11.
In FY10, Iowa City's portion of the ECICOG assessment was $20,740. This issue was
discussed at the December 2 JCCOG Board meeting, and by an 8-6 vote, the JCCOG
Urbanized Area Policy Board directed me to prepare the JCCOG Budget consistent
with past budgets.
Structure of JCCOG 8~ Budget
JCCOG is in the unique position of being organized under two governing bodies. For
administrative purposes (employee saleries, benefits, personnel policies, accounting,
etc.) JCCOG is considered a division of the City of Iowa City with all the benefits and
restrictions of other Iowa City employees. By 28E Agreement and through
assessments, JCCOG provides services to other JCCOG-member entities. JCCOG is
designated as the Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Iowa City Urbanized
Area.
For policy matters including the annual JCCOG Work Program, Transportation
Improvement Program, Long Range Transportation Plan and other documents which
make JCCOG-member agencies eligible for the millions of dollars in federal
transportation funds we receive every year, the JCCOG Board is the governing entity.
C:\Documents and Settings\jyapplDesktopWCCOG-ECICOG Discussion.doc
'~:
~,
i
The structure of the JCCOG Budget, I believe, is a policy matter under the jurisdiction „
of the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board and Rural Policy Board.
Conclusion
In light of the JCCOG Board vote, my suggestion is that .Iowa City fund the FY11
ECICOG assessment and request a subcommittee be established to discuss
alternative funding arrangements for ECICOG services to Johnson County in FY12
and beyond.
Because the ECICOG funding arrangement will potentially affect all the entities of
Johnson County, I also recommend including representatives of the JCCOG Urban
and Rural Policy Boards in the discussion.

Yapp asked the Board if there were any additional services or consultant-driven studies
members would like to add to the FY11 Budget that is not already included. Yapp noted
that he will be presenting the FY11 Budget to Board at their January meeting for formal
consideration.
Discussion of the ECICOG assessments in the FY11 JCCOG Budget
Because of a recent indication made by the City of Iowa City to no longer pay for
their portion of the assessment to ECICOG Yapp asked the Board for direction
on how to prepare the draft the FY11 JCCOG Budget. Yapp explained that the
ECICOG Board's position in past years has been that if ECICOG does not
receive the full assessment from a county, the entire county will no longer be
eligible for ECICOG services. Yapp outlined three options for preparing the
budget: 1) prepare the JCCOG Budget consistent with past years, 2) prepare the
Budget with Johnson County funding Iowa City's portion of the ECICOG
assessment, or 3) prepare the Budget with ECICOG assessment spread
amongst the remaining Johnson County municipalities not including Iowa City.
Herwig noted the benefits Iowa City receives from ECICOG and recommended
that the Budget be prepared consistent with past years. Stutsman asked if
Johnson County would be eligible to receive ECICOG funding if Iowa City chose
not to pay their assessment. Yapp noted that the ECICOG Director indicated
that the County would not be eligible for ECICOG services if the full assessment
were not fulfilled. Stutsman asked if Iowa City did not pay the assessment,
would Johnson County have to cover Iowa City's portion of the assessment?
Yapp responded that if not Johnson County someone else would have to in order
for the County to continue receiving full services. Weihe added that if Iowa City
stops paying their portion of the assessment then other municipalities would also
not want to pay in full. Sullivan pointed out that the County feels that everyone
should pay their portion of the assessment for ECICOG because each entity
benefits from the work ECICOG completes.
Bailey noted that Iowa City is not receiving direct ECICOG benefits. Bailey
continued by pointing out that Iowa City administers many of the same programs
administered by ECICOG and feels that the citizens of Iowa City are currently
paying twice for said services. Stutsman noted that if Johnson County were to
pay the full assessment they would have the authority to nominate who was on
the ECICOG board. Yapp stated that this would be consistent with what is done
in other areas where the county pays for the full ECICOG assessment.
Stutsman moved to prepare the JCCOG budget consistent with past years; the
motion was seconded by Philips. The motion passed (8-6); Wright, Correia,
Helling, Champion, O'Donnell, and Bailey opposed.

Re: Agenda Item 3(b): Discussion of FY11 JCCOG Budget
The attached page shows a summary of the FY10 JCCOG assessments and total budget
amounts, including both JCCOG and ECICOG assessments. The majority of the budget is
for employee salary and benefits. JCCOG staff are organized administratively under the City
of Iowa City and are subject to Iowa City employee policies. Non-administrative employees
are also organized under the American Federation of State, County and Municipal
Employees (AFSCME) Union and are entitled to benefits negotiated under the collective
bargaining agreement.
The focus and purpose of JCCOG remains fulfilling federal and state requirements
necessary (and beneficial) for local communities to receive state and federal transportation
funds, and to produce locally-generated transportation studies for JCCOG member-agencies.
These studies, including minor intersection studies, major corridor studies and everything in
between are intended to result in better information upon which to base project and
programming decisions.
Capital costs for FY11 will be similar to past years, including maintenance and replacement
of our traffic counters and maintenance/upgrades to our mapping and traffic modeling
software. I intend to keep the funding percentage split between JCCOG member agencies
the same as in recent years, and to keep any increase in assessment levels to a minimum
(assessment levels did not change between FY09 and FY10).
At our December 2 meeting, let me know if there is any interest in additional services or
consultant-driven studies for which we would need to budget in FY11. I will bring the FY11
Budget to you for formal consideration at your January meeting for formal consideration.
_~ Agenda Item 3(b)(i): Discussion of ECICOG Assessments in the JCCOG Budget
Small community planning assistance projects for Johnson County communities are provided
through an arrangement with the East Central Iowa Council of Governments. JCCOG acts
as a funding conduit for Johnson County funding of ECICOG, and passes through ECICOG
assessments to ECICOG. The City of Iowa City has recently indicated they will no longer
pay the assessment to ECICOG (see attached letter from Interim Iowa City City Manager
Helling), which in FY10 was $20,740.
C:1Documents and Settingsljyapp\Local SettingslTemporary lntemet Files\OLK13E\MemoFoi Item 3 (b )
How is EC/COG funded in Johnson County? The funding arrangement of assessing
individual municipalities in Johnson County is somewhat unique, but it is the way ECICOG
has been funded since the formation of JCCOG. The ECICOG assessment is based on a
per-capita calculation. In FY10, the assessment was based on a $0.3322 per capita rate for
the entire County population, plus an additional $0.2090 per-capita rate for the population
within the small communities. The funds are assessed to each municipality based on the
per-capita rate; Johnson County is assessed based on the unincorporated population.
How is EC/COG funded in other counties? In the other counties, the County government
budgets for and funds ECICOG through the County budget, based on the same per-capita
rate.
Which funding method is better from EC/COG's persaective? According to the ECICOG
Executive Director, neither funding method is better or worse. ECICOG receives the same
per-capita funding either way and the decision of how to structure the payments within the
County is a local decision.
What will happen if ECICOG does not receive the per-capita funding? According to the
ECICOG Executive Director, the ECICOG Board's position In the past has been that if
ECICOG does not receive the full assessment from a county, that county will no longer be
eligible for ECICOG services. The ECICOG Executive Committee reiterated this position at
a recent meeting during a discussion of the Johnson County FY11 assessment. These
services include the various housing programs, low-interest economic development funds,
assistance with grant applications, assistance with comprehensive plans and other planning
documents, and potentially other funding programs.
As the ECICOG assessments are reflected in the JCCOG Budget, the JCCOG Board needs
to discuss at our December 2 meeting how you would like me to reflect the ECICOG funding
amounts in the draft FY11 JCCOG Budget. I have developed three options to consider:
1. Prepare the JCCOG Budget consistent with past years
2. Prepare the JCCOG Budget with Johnson County funding the ECICOG assessment
(this will require Johnson County Supervisors approval as well)
3. Prepare the JCCOG Budget with the entire ECICOG assessment spread amongst the
remaining Johnson County governments, without including Iowa City or its population
(this will require approval by all the other entities)
Depending on how you direct me to draft the FY11 JCCOG Budget, it will set the stage for
discussions with either the Johnson County Supervisors and potentially all affected Johnson
County communities regarding ECICOG funding.

Re: Iowa City's Funding Support for the East Central Iowa Council of
Governments
Dear Terrence:
As we begin the preparation of our FY11 budgets, I wanted to confirm the City
Council's decision to not include funding from the City for the East Central Iowa
Council of Governments (ECICOG). You may recall that Council discussed the
potential for this last year, and it was included as one of a number of budget
reduction measures this past spring.
We value ECICOG's services to the County and its municipalities. However, we
have learned that Johnson County is one of the only, if not the only, county in Iowa
in which the cities fund the regional planning agency. In other counties, the
regional planning agency funding is provided by the county on behalf of all the
citizens of the county. In addition, Iowa City receives few direct services from
ECICOG compared to the other local governments and county government. In
FY10, Iowa City's contribution to ECICOG is $20,740.
Because Iowa City's funding for ECICOG is reflected in the JCCOG budget as well
as the Iowa City budget, I have asked John Yapp to discuss this with the full
JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board at their December 2 meeting.
Let me know if you have any questions.

RE: New Book: A Watershed Year, Anatomy of the Iowa Floods of 2008
The University of Iowa Press has recently released a new book entitled A Watershed
Year, Anatomy of the Iowa Floods of 2008 edited by Connie Mutel. Of special interest
for Iowa City are chapters 3 and 20. Chapter 3 provides a summary of Iowa City's
response to the flood. Chapter 20 discusses the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of
floodplain management and uses Iowa City as an example of a city doing "all the right
things" with regulatory efforts that date back to 1962. This chapter does a good job of
outlining the risks and vulnerabilities that remain even with good floodplain management.
Attached are details about the book from the University Press web site.

"A Watershed Year captures the multiple dimensions of flooding and provides compelling
arguments for new approaches to provide a way forward in learning to 'live with floods.' The June
2008 flooding in Iowa is dissected from the perspective of physical scientists, social scientists,
environmental scientists, economists, public policy experts, and engineers. The lessons learned
from the 2008 flooding take on particular weight given the recent experiences from the Great
Flood of 1993. One of the lessons that will hopefully be learned is that the multidisciplinary
approach to flooding adopted in A Watershed Year is an essential aspect of developing effective
policies for dealing with floods."-James A. Smith, Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering,
Princeton University
"A Watershed Year captures the essence of the 2008 eastern Iowa floods in essays written by
leading scientists, watershed specialists, and public administrators, many of whom experienced
the devastation of the flooding firsthand. It is a must read for both those trying to better
understand the circumstances resulting in the historic 2008 floods and those involved in mitigation
and planning efforts to deal with future floods. In A Watershed Year Connie Mutel challenges each

of us to consider how we should learn to live with floods with a more holistic, sustainable
watershed approach."- Larry J. Weber, Director, IIHR-Hydroscience & Engineering, University of
Iowa
"A Watershed Year reminds us that floods, both large and small, will inevitably happen again in the
future-perhaps with even greater frequency because of our changing climate. It does a great
service to the people of Iowa by collecting concise, informed recommendations to help individuals,
communities, and the state say 'never again' to the devastation we experienced in the floods of
2008."-State Senator Rob Hogg
"A Watershed Year is a superb example of a public university in action. Grounded in the best
science yet also telling a compelling human story, this book brings to bear the perspective and
talents of many experts in the university and broader communities. It is a fascinating historical
document, a substantial contribution to our knowledge about floods, and an invaluable tool for the
future when the rivers rise again."-Sally Mason, President, University of Iowa
In June 2008, the rivers of eastern Iowa rose above their banks to create floods of epic
proportions; their amazing size-flowing in places at a rate nearly double that of the previous
record flood-and the rapidity of their rise ruined farmlands and displaced thousands of residents
and hundreds of businesses. In Cedar Rapids, the waters inundated more than nine square miles
of the downtown area; in Iowa City, where the flood was also the most destructive in history, the
University of Iowa's arts campus was destroyed. By providing a solid base of scientific and
technical information presented with unusual clarity and a wealth of supporting illustrations, the
contributors to this far-reaching book, many of whom dealt firsthand with the 2008 floods, provide
a detailed roadmap of the causes and effects of future devastating floods.
The twenty-five essays fall naturally into four sections. "Rising Rivers, Spreading Waters" begins
by comparing the 2008 floods with the midwestern floods of 1993, moves on to trace community
responses to the 2008 floods, and ends by illuminating techniques for forecasting floods and
determining their size and frequency. "Why Here, Why Now?" searches for possible causes of the
2008 floods and of flooding in general: annual crops and urban landscapes, inflows into and
releases from reservoirs, and climate change. "Flood Damages, Flood Costs, Flood Benefits"
considers the complex mix of flood costs and effects, emphasizing damages to cities and farmlands
as well as potential benefits to natural communities and archaeological sites. "Looking Back,
Looking Forward" lays out approaches to managing the floods of the future that are sure to come.
While the book draws most of its examples from one particular region, it explains flooding
throughout a much larger region-the midwestern Corn Belt-and thus its sobering yet energizing
lessons apply well beyond eastern Iowa. By examining the relationships among rivers, floodplains,
weather, and modern society; by stressing matters of science and fact rather than social or policy

~'~'~E'GlSE~,
The City of Iowa City announced today that the City of Iowa City Fire Station No. 2 Demolition
and Construction Project has been awarded LEED® Gold established by the U.S. Green
Building Council and verified by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI). LEED
(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the nation's preeminent program for the
design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings.
"We are excited to be the City's first LEED certified project. Achieving a Gold LEED certification
is a significant accomplishment for the City of Iowa City," said Fire Chief Andrew J. Rocca. "It's a
very positive step in being fiscally responsible, ecologically smart, and environmentally friendly."
The City of Iowa City Fire Station No. 2 Project achieved LEED certification for energy use,
lighting, water and material use as well as incorporating a variety of other sustainable strategies.
By using less energy and water, LEED certified buildings save money for families, businesses
and taxpayers; reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and contribute to a healthier environment for
residents, workers and the larger community.
"With each new LEED-certified building, we get one step closer to USGBC's vision of a
sustainable built environment within a generation," said Rick Fedrizzi, President, CEO &
Founding Chair, U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). "As the newest member of the LEED
family of green buildings, City of Iowa City's Fire Station #2 Project is an important addition to
the growing strength of the green building movement."
LEED Certification of the Iowa City Fire Station #2 Project was based on a number of green
design and construction features that positively impact the project itself and the broader
community. These features include:
1. Responsible demolition and debris removal

DATE: March 17, 2010
RE: Transit AVL Project .
~~ ~-- /
,` ~~-
~~~
Over the past several months, Iowa City, Coralville and the University of Iowa have
been in discussions about a joint project to implement AVL technology in all three transit
systems. AVL {Automatic Vehicle Location) incorporates real time vehicle tracking into a
computer based software system. This allows transit staff live data on vehicle location, on-
time pertormance, etc. In our case, it also allows customers to view bus location and
amount of time before a bus arrives at a chosen stop. Following is a description of the
project, an outline of the benefits of an AVL system to the transit system and its users and a
cost summary of the City's portion of expenses.
This project involves the University of Iowa, Coralville and Iowa City purchasing and
implementing a system designed by NextBus. Next8us uses satellite technology and
computer modeling to track vehicles on their routes. Each vehicle will be fitted with its own
satellite tracking system and the information is then utilized to continually update current
location as well as arrival time at stops along the route. This information is then provided to
the public in multiple formats to make access simple.
Internet -Route information including current location and amount of time before
arrival at designated stops will be available through the City's and NextBus website.
This will include a map showing from one route to all of the routes depending on the
user's selections. By clicking on a bus stop, the user can then get arrival information
for that stop. Customers can also select stop information through a drop down menu
on the website to receive arrival information for selected routes. Examples of this
information are available at www.nextbus.com.
Mobite Devices -Mobile devices with internet capabilities will be able to access the
websites listed above. In addition, each bus stop will have an assigned stop number
posted at the stop allowing for customers to request arrival information via text or a
phone number that will be listed on the stop.
Telephone - A phone number will also be provided that allows customers to call
directly for arrival information. They will enter their stop number and will receive
audible arrival information for their designated stop.
Automatic passenger counters (APC's) will be installed on five of the City transit
vehicles. This equipment will provide daily boarding and exiting data, per stop, for the
routes these five vehicles are assigned. This is data that is unavailable to us currently
without having a person sitting on our bus all day manually tracking this information.
March 17, 2010
Page 2
Engine diagnostic data will be tracked. Our management software will receive
updates on engine information such as fuel efficiency, fuel levels, engine warnings, speed,
oil and transmission temperatures and battery readings. All of this data will be provided live
which may allow us to see a problem early to prevent major engine maintenance.
Many of the benefits are aligned in providing our customers with better and more
accurate information. There have been studies that have indicated that the biggest
deterrent to utilizing public Transit is the availability of information. This system allows us to
provide real time arrival information for every one of our over 500 bus stops in Iowa City.
Information is available in map form, through drop down menus, cell phone and telephone.
Information is accurate based on current location of the bus allowing for customers to know
ahead of time that the bus is behind schedule. We anticipate that ridership will increase as
our information will be much more accurate and available to all customers.
In addition, there are several management tools that will benefit our organization.
These include but are not limited to:
• Daily on time performance for each route
• Boarding and exiting data for buses with APC's
• Data to more effectively place bus stops
• Reduced radio traffic
• t_ive engine diagnostic data
One of the main reasons for our preference toward NextBus was the cost. The City's
cost including upfront and five years of annual costs will be $280,000.00. We compared this
to a close competitor, Route Match, and found that their price over 50% higher. In addition,
they did not offer some of the features we received with NextBus. Transportation Services
intends to pay these costs with funds generated from the Court Street Transportation Center
that are now in a capital reserve account.
This is a very exciting project for the City. Working on a joint project with
coordination between the three local fixed route systems has led to savings for all. This
coordination will also be experienced by the customers as well. Each system will provide
information in the same way reducing the confusion as customers build transit trips through
our community. This project will make our community the first in the state to implement such
a system. As a community that has provided over 6 million rides last year, we feel that this
is the ideal time to implement this system. I look forward to discussing this projec# with you
and welcome any questions that you may have. If you would like to discuss this project at a
future work session, please le# me know.

Re: No Bicycles, Rollerblades, Skateboards on Downtown Sidewalks
This spring, the Streets Department will install new signage in the
downtown area. No regulatory changes are proposed. Rather, the new
signs (right) are easier to read and better communicate the existing
ordinance prohibiting these activities on downtown sidewalks.
Additionally, the locations of the signs will be standardized, which the
Police Department confirms will facilitate enforcement efforts.
The signs will replace existing signage notifying residents and visitors ~~~
that bicycling, skateboarding, and rollerblading are prohibited on
downtown sidewalks -including Burlington Street to Jefferson Street '~~~~~,
and Gilbert Street to Capitol Street.

Re: Update: Flood-related activities
Water Division - 3-16-10
River Crossings
Continued working with Engineering & Howard R. Green (HRG) for design and
construction of replacement of two 12" river crossing repairs (Old Plant and Hwy 6)
Review comments on HRG's bid design and specifications are ready for submittal to the
City Council for approval. The U. of I. and City IT have corroborated by incorporating a
fiber optic conduit at both locations as part of the project. FEMA has defined distinction
criteria that would allow this to happen.
Funding for the water main crossing projects needs final obligation status which includes
design and construction costs, through FEMA. The review process from FEMA was not
favorable and additional information has been sent with a request to re-review. FEMA
indicated that they are reviewing the information sent to them last week and will
hopefully be able to get back to us this week with their determination. FEMA received
information from HRG and we will be following up to help with any questions or
clarification.
Peninsula Source Protection
• The HRG Hazard Mitigation Study is the source of planning for proposed funding and
projects on the peninsula site and the plant site improvements.
• The PW and Hazard Mitigation Plan for peninsula work; CW 3, CW 4, SW 4, JW 2 and
the respective electrical systems has been 'obligated' by FEMA.
• HRG is under contract to provide design, specifications bid documents and inspection
for the two projects. We have completed review of the 50% deliverable that was
received on 2/22/10.
• Final PW's for the projects were received from FEMA. A conference call is scheduled
for 3/22/10 with FEMA to clarify questions about the funds not covered by the PW's.
Water Works Prairie Park Source Protection
• The HRG Hazard Mitigation Study is being used for additional funding request for
hazard mitigation for plant site well houses. We are currently working with Dave Purdy.
• We have submitted information to FEMA for the Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) to
ascertain our eligibility.
• We received communication from FEMA that the BCA looks favorable. The application
is complete except for updates to the HRG Preliminary Engineering Report requested by
FEMA. HRG has completed the requested information to update the application.
All necessary information has been received by FEMA and we are awaiting approval.

Flood Planning for 2010
Debrief documentation from the Flood of 08 is being reviewed.
• A meeting with EMA is scheduled for 3/20/10 to discuss flood preparation.
Engineering and Public Works Administration
• The Army Corps of Engineers has plans available to contractors for the Section 14
Iowa River Bank Stabilization Project located along Dubuque Street downstream
from the Park Road Bridge. The construction is planned for Spring 2010.
• The City has purchased 27 properties through the FEMA Buyout Program.. The City
has demolished 23 of the properties and one property is vacant land. Prior to the
demolition process, Staff has worked with Restore to salvage items from the homes.
To date, enough materials have been salvaged for two complete kitchens (cabinets,
trim, counters), 20-25 interior doors with frames, three houses full of flooring (carpet,
hardwood, laminate), rough electrical and plumbing fixtures for four houses, as well
as three to five ceiling fans and other decorative fixtures. Through the demolition
process, 5200 tons of concrete from the foundations, driveways and sidewalks has
been stockpiled at the Landfill and will be crushed. This recycled material will be
used on the haul roads within the Landfill.
Staff has started the process to develop a City flood emergency response plan
Staff will also be attending a meeting to discuss the County flood emergency
response plan.

DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING:
Mims moved to accept the January 20, 2010, meeting minutes as submitted.
Hayek seconded the motion.
Motion carried 3-0.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN EXTERIOR BUILDING CHANGE IN THE
PEPPERWOOD PLAZA TIF PROJECT:
Ford addressed the Members regarding this project, noting that they have a memo from
her in their packets. She gave a brief history on this project, sharing why they are
bringing this item forward at this time. Kobrin Development Company Inc., formerly
known as Southgate Development Co., Inc. which owns the K-Mart building in the
Pepperwood Plaza, is seeking to make changes to the building in order to construct a
laundromat on this site. Staff in the HIS department has reviewed these plans, and
according to Ford, believe most everything is approvable.
Staff recommends approval of the exterior design, as shown on the drawing labeled
"Proposed new Channel Letters & New Awnings" with one exception: that the channel
letter K-Mart logo sign be moved over the bay of windows containing the new front door,
instead of where it is shown on the plain brick faced wall to the right. After a brief
discussion of related code requirements, Members agreed with staff recommendations.
Economic Development Committee Meeting
March 2, 2010
Mims moved to accept the staff recommendations for the Pepperwood Plaza TIF
project as discussed.
Hayek seconded the motion.
Motion carried 3-0.
COMMITTEE TIME:
Mims noted that she is glad to hear that things are moving along well with the Moss
Green project. Davidson noted that they have some updates on this that they will share
under staff time. Hayek added that they had a good meeting with P&G last week - he,
Davidson, Ford, and Helling. He added that P&G expressed concerns about their tax
burden and how lean of an operation they have to run in order to remain competitive in
their industry. Davidson commented on some of the specifics of the P&G plant and
some of their prospective plans for production.
STAFF TIME:
Ford asked if Members would be able to attend the March 16 regularly scheduled
Economic Development Committee meeting as there could be a need to get the Urban
Renewal Plan underway for the Moss Green project, and the Committee's approval
would be needed. She explained the timeline they are looking at for that week.
Members discussed their schedules briefly, and Bailey asked that they bring their
calendars to the next meeting so they can firm up some dates.
Davidson suggested the Committee meet in the evenings, prior to Council meetings, if
this would work better for Members. Davidson then spoke briefly about the Moss Green
project, noting that they had a meeting recently where they refined the schedule to
proceed. He stated that the applicant now has a clearer understanding of the City's
expectations, and the City now has a schedule to work from.
Davidson also noted the City's new parking structure project and the interest they have
seen in this. He also noted that the Towncrest redevelopment is progressing. That
group met this morning to discuss things. The industrial park platting, according to
Davidson, is occurring, as well. Also moving along is the Downtown Business Incubator
project. Davidson stated that they are about a third of the way through this project. The
Riverfront Crossings project grant, according to Davidson, will allow them to obtain some
more consultant services there.

ROOM 208, IOWA CITY/JOHNSON COUNTY SENIOR CENTER
Members Present: Chuck Felling, Jay Honohan, Merce Bern-Klug, Michael
Lensing, Charlotte Walker, Jean Martin
Members Absent: Sarah Maiers
Staff Present: Linda Kopping, Emily Light
Others Present: Dave Dowell, Mary Wiemann, Bob Welsh, Laura Amy, Josh
Bolander, Amanda Roberts, Riley McCloud
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL:
None.
CALL TO ORDER:
The meeting was called to order at 4:00 PM. Jay Honohan chaired the meeting.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM JANUARY 21, 2010 MEETING:
Walker said the minutes left out inappropriate statements about a Center
participant that were made by Susan Rogusky at the January meeting. She said
the Commission needs to be careful when discussing disciplinary problems in
open meetings.
Motion: To accept the minutes from the January 21, 2010 meeting. Motion
carried on a vote of 5/1. Martin/Felling. Walker voted no.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA:
None.
COMMISSION ASSIGNMENTS:
Honohan will visit and report to the Board of Supervisors. Lensing will attend and
report at a City Council meeting; Martin will attend with him.
DISCUSSION OF BOARD APPOINTMENTS FOR FRIENDS OF THE CENTER:
Preliminary Minutes
February 2010
Honohan said the executive committee of the Senior Center Commission met to
identify candidates who they would recommend appointing to the Friends of the
Center board. They wanted to find people who will actively help with fundraising.
Honohan said they decided not to contact any candidates prior to Commission
approval. The group made the following recommendations:
Sue Shallau, retired from the University of Iowa Foundation.
Nancy Wombacher, former Senior Center Commission member and active
member of the Center.
Karen Franklin, retired director of Iowa City Planning and Zoning department,
former chair of the Iowa City Community Credit Union.
Patricia Hayek, local therapist/counselor, community activist.
John Chadima, Iowa State Bank and Trust.
Alternates:
Melanie Haupert, former school board member, community activist.
Bob Ross, Iowa State Bank and Trust.
Judy Atkins, community volunteer.
Julie Johnston, administrator of the foundation for Mercy Hospital.
Roger Riley, Hills Bank.
Motion: To approve the five candidates and five alternates recommended
for the Friends of the Center board and instruct Honohan and Kopping to
contact the nominees in order to fill five board positions. Martin/Felling.
Bern-Klug said she is fine with the five candidates, but would prefer not to have
two people from the same bank if an alternate is called upon. Honohan agreed
and suggested Roger Riley from Hills Bank as another altemate.
Martin suggested leaving the original alternate on the list in the event that neither
person is available. Felling agreed.
Walker added that these names were chosen by a small committee with no input
from the whole Commission. Honohan pointed out that the names were
discussed at length by the entire Commission at the January meeting. Walker
said most of the names discussed were suggested by Honohan, Lensing, or
Kopping.
Motion tamed on a vote of 5/0. Walker abstained.
Dowell asked who would select replacement members of the Friends of the
Center board when the initial members discontinue their participation. Honohan
said the Friends of the Center board will be responsible for selecting future
members.
2
Preliminary Minutes
February 2010
Kopping said all policies and practices still need to be established and formalized
for Friends of the Center.
UPDATE ON OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT:
Kopping said all groups have completed their work, and staff members and team
leaders are preparing the final reports that will be presented on March 4 at 5 PM.
Kopping invited the Commission to attend the meeting to hear the
recommendations. Kopping also noted that she will be preparing a report on the
entire process, so this will not be the last opportunity to learn about the
recommendations.
REVIEW AND DISCUSSION OF CODE OF CONDUCT AND POLICY FOR
VIOLATIONS OF CODE OF CONDUCT:
Kopping said the ceramics room is closed until further notice. Two people were
working in the room. Each person said they were afraid of the other and accused
one another of stealing things. They both want to use the space, but not with the
other one present. Despite multiple meetings with the staff and people involved
and disciplinary actions intended to resolve the situation, the issues persist.
Kopping said the Center does not have the staff to sit in the room and serve as a
referee.
Kopping talked to representatives of the Recreation Center and Public Library to
get information on their policies for violations of the code of conduct. She also did
an intemet search for disciplinary policies used by other senior centers.
Kopping distributed the library's discipline policy. It identifies major and minor
infractions, and separates out policies on hygiene. It discusses the number of
occurrences, the escalation of penalties, and who is authorized to ban patrons. It
is pretty comprehensive.
The library policy details the option of calling the police to have a trespass
warning issued. If the person comes back prior to the end of their suspension,
the police are called again and a trespass citation is issued. Kopping doesn't
think this option is used often.
Internet information from other senior centers typically outline an escalation
policy for discipline with permanent exclusion from the program as a final
consequence. She described examples of policies that include verbal and written
warnings, suspension, expulsion for a certain period, permanent expulsion,
police involvement, counseling, terms of re-admittance, and appeal processes.
Honohan said it would be wise to adopt a formal policy, particularly since the
Legal Department said the Senior Center cannot take any action without a policy
3
Preliminary Minutes
February 2010
unless it is a criminal violation. Honohan asked for volunteers to work with
Kopping to come up with a recommendation for a Center policy.
Walker pointed out that the disciplinary policy was recently updated and she
thinks some of the current problems relate to not having information explaining
the rules of the game posted in the room or available to participants. She said the
rules should be clearly posted for viewing before reopening the ceramics room.
Kopping said the rules of the ceramics studio are not where the conflicts have
occurred; problems have related to code of conduct violations.
Walker said she thinks the conflict erupted because of unclear expectations for
the use of the ceramics studio and escalated into a personal dispute from there.
Walker said she likes the recreation center's policy because it emphasizes
documentation. It looks like a move in the right direction.
Bern-Klug and Lensing volunteered to work with Kopping on developing a policy.
Kopping said a new policy would certainly include an appeal process. Honohan
said a new policy might need to be presented to the Legal Department for
approval after it is created.
DISCUSSION OF KITCHEN MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP EXPENSES AND
RESPONSIBILITY FOR EQUIPMENT COSTS:
Honohan said the problem is equipment breaks down, and we have not come to
a specific agreement or decision as to who is responsible (and to what extent) for
repairs or replacement of faulty equipment. In the past, the Senior Center has
been responsible for expenses involving kitchen fixtures such as walls, flooring,
plumbing, and walk-in coolers.
Honohan thinks that Elder Services should be responsible for repairs to
equipment that is used exclusively by the nutrition program.
Walker said she thinks the question should be addressed to the City Council.
They should have the opportunity to support the meal program if they think it is
valuable for meals to be served at the Senior Center.
Honohan pointed out that in the past the City Council has questioned why Elder
Services is not responsible for its own utility costs.
Honohan said he would like to take the lease to the City Legal Department for
their interpretation of who is responsible for the cost of equipment repairs.
Honohan said we may want to consider an amendment to the lease to spell out
the responsibilities.
4
Preliminary Minutes
February 2010
Lensing asked if the equipment is ever used by other groups. Honohan and
Kopping said the predominant use of the equipment is for the nutrition program.
Use by other groups has been extremely rare.
Mary Wiemann said Elder Services submits a proposal to Heritage Area Agency
on Aging every year for the contract to operate Senior Dining. The meal program
is paid for by Older Americans Act funds. She said the kitchen is a delicate
partnership between the Center, Elder Services, Inc., and Heritage Area Agency
on Aging that is intended to serve the seniors of Iowa City and Johnson County.
Wiemann described the kitchen's tilt skillet, a piece of equipment that is old and
needs to be replaced. The cost of replacement would be $8,000-$12,000.
Without the tilt skillet for volume cooking, everything has to be cooked in small
quantities on the stovetop. Certain things cannot reasonably be cooked this way,
which may force Elder Services to stray from the menu required by Heritage.
Elder Services could lose compliance with its contract because of the lack of
working equipment.
Wiemann said everyone has to put a value on the partnership. If the nutrition
program had to relocate its operation in order to access an essential piece of
equipment, the Senior Center may lose the participation of the people served by
the nutrition program. 120-300 meals are prepared daily in the Senior Center
kitchen, and those numbers enrich the Center's participation counts and services
offered.
Kopping said she does not intend to deny the value of the nutrition program. The
tilt skillet problem has generated questions of whether the Senior Center should
fund the purchase or repair of equipment that it does not use for its programming.
She noted that the kitchen includes a number of aging fixtures (e.g. walk-in
cooler and freezer) that are the responsibility of the Center. If they break, should
the Senior Center fix or replace them? Kopping wants the Commission to
discuss these issues so that there are answers in place when the need arises.
Lensing asked how much has been spent on repairs in the past? Martin pointed
out that the Senior Center also pays for all utilities for the nutrition program.
Kopping said the only other time cost-sharing has been discussed with Heritage
was several years ago. At that point Heritage said if the Senior Center were to
charge for use of space, equipment, or expenses incurred because of the
nutrition program, they would relocate it. That is because the Senior Center's
contribution to the nutrition program is supposed to be regarded as community
support.
Bob Welsh confirmed this statement. He said Heritage has a seven county area
with approximately 40 sites, and no rent payments have been made. If a
community wants the service, that is their contribution.
Preliminary Minutes
February 2010
Wiemann said Elder Services can request equipment purchases from Heritage in
its annual RFP. They have received funds for things such as repairs to the rural
delivery truck and kitchen repair at Emerson Point.
Walker said she knows that Heritage paid for the whole kitchen at Emerson
Point. She thinks Heritage does have money for equipment, and that is
something to explore.
Lensing suggested seeking funding opportunities from local charitable
foundations, such as Mercy Hospital or the Braverman Foundation.
Honohan said he thinks it would be worthwhile to pursue funding for a new tilt
skillet from Heritage since it is their program.
Bern-Klug suggested working out a monthly financial exchange to the Center
providing compensation for assuming responsibility for the maintenance of
kitchen equipment. If we do that, then it is a joint program of the Senior Center,
Elder Services, and Heritage. Bem-Klug thinks it is odd for someone other than
the Senior Center to own equipment in the Senior Center building.
Welsh said, as part of the Heritage finance committee, he can assure the board
that their budget could not sustain new expenses. He said 100% of the funding is
used for all of the contracts.
Kopping said she is reasonably certain that if she approached the City with a
budget request for a significant amount of money to purchase or repair kitchen
equipment, the request would be denied.
Honohan said he thinks we need to get Heritage to the table. The Commission
agreed that it would be good to invite a Heritage representative to the next
Commission meeting to discuss these issues directly. Honohan said he would
like a listing of kitchen expenses paid by the Senior Center for review.
Wiemann said she did request the tilt skillet in their most recent RFP. She has no
belief that Heritage will fund the request, but the need has been communicated.
Welsh asked Honohan to investigate what action was taken by the county
regarding the kitchen equipment when the nutrition program was turned over to
Elder Services. Honohan said he would check into it.
Bern-Klug asked if anyone has a sense of how other area agencies on aging
negotiate the expenses with their sites. Kopping said she will check into it.
Wiemann said there is an Iowa association and a national association of area
agencies on aging.

Preliminary Minutes
February 2010
Lensing excused himself from the meeting at 5:15 PM
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW:
Kopping referred to the memo from the City Manager included in the Commission
packet on the issue of restricting naming rights. Kopping said she spoke to the
directors of the public library and the recreation center, and all feel the policy
would tie their hands and takes some incentive away from large donations.
Honohan said he agrees. He referred to the previous discussions about naming
the Assembly Room after Eleanor Hughes, who donated $250,000 to the Senior
Center. If the proposed policy were enacted, such an option may not be possible.
Felling said this issue came up when he was on the Public Art Commission.
Honohan said he feels that naming should not be done in direct exchange for a
contribution.
Bern-Klug said she would like to be able to name rooms after people, but she
would hate to see the name of a building change to a company's name or an
individual's name. She wants to make a recommendation to that effect.
Walker would not like to see the name of rooms changed to a person's name too
soon after their death. Walker said she agrees with the content of the memo.
The Commission agreed that the issue will be discussed at the next meeting.
Bern-Klug excused herself at 5:30 PM.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION:
City Council Report on the January Meeting: Honohan and Kopping attended to
discuss the FY2011 budget proposal.

they speak with a supervisor. If it is resolved by talking with the supervisor it's
documented and considered done and taken care of. If it is not resolved to their
satisfaction and a complaint form is requested the citizen gets both the police
department form and the PCRB form along with an information sheet explaining the
difference of both processes.

Braverman asked how the information is complied for the ICPD Quarterly /Summary
Report - IAIR/PCRB. Whether the numbers included all citizen contacts or only the
actual number of complaints filed with the police department. Wyss thought that the
number was from the actual number of internal investigations that are open and that
many of the investigations may be initiated by law enforcement and not a citizen.
Braverman asked if Wyss could request statically what portion of the complaints are
citizen vs law enforcement initiated since the Board was more interested in the
citizen complaints.
Treloar commented on General Order 00-01 (Search and Seizure) under D
(Execution of the Search Warrant), number 13 (Concluding the Search). Treloar
suggested inserting when possible" at the end of the first sentence pertaining to
leaving the premises or vehicle in the same general condition as originally found.
Treloar was concerned that even if you follow the law but departmental policy is
broken you're still civilly liable. Adding the additional wording would better protect
the officers since it is not always possible to leave things they way they find them.
Wyss referred back to the general order regarding Racial Profiling. He explained
that they do an annual statistical summary of persons stopped for traffic violations.
The Police Department realized this past year that they had some software issues
and would have to go back through to account for all the stops to insure the accuracy
of the figures so it will take longer than normal to compile the report and make sure
the data is usable.
NEW BUSINESS Discussion of Conflict of Interest -The Board agreed to table this item until the next
meeting when all members were present.
OLD BUSINESS Community Forum -The Board reviewed and discussed the second draft summary.
Motion by Treloar, seconded by Porter to accept and forward the second draft
summary of the community forum to City Council.
Motion carried 3/0, King and Young absent.
Comprehensive Review of PCRB Ordinance, By-Laws, SOP's -Braverman handed
out an outline (archived in the March 9th meeting packet) with 7 suggestions for the
Board. The Board reviewed the ideas and Braverman will summarize the discussion
and include in the next meeting packet for further consideration.

INFORMATION Tuttle handed out a memorandum from Dale Helling, Interim City Manager regarding
(1) Gifts/Naming Policy and (2) Scheduling of Special Events. Tuttle noted to the
Board that the policy would probably not apply to them, but as far as scheduling
special events such as the forums, the City Council is requesting that, to the greatest
extent possible, they not be scheduled opposite City Council meetings.

Re: November 18, 2009 Police Citizen Review Board Community Forum
To Whom It May Concern:
The second annual Police Citizen Review Board Community Forum was held at 7:00 pm
on Wednesday, November 18, 2009, in Emma J. Harvat Hall, 410 E. Washington Street. The
purpose of this letter is to summarize the Community Forum and to set forth the PCRB's report
and recommendations to the City Council. A copy of the transcript of the Community Forum is
available from the City Clerk.
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm by Don King, Chair. Other members present
were Janie Braverman, Joseph Treloar (7:14) and Vershawn Young. Abbie Yoder was absent.
Catherine Pugh, Legal Counsel; Kellie Tuttle, Staff; and Sam Hargadine, Chief of Iowa City
Police Department, were also present. We are pleased that Mayor Regenia Bailey also attended.
Mr. King announced that copies of the following were available at the door: (i)
applications for the 13t" Annual Citizens Police Academy, (ii) the PCRB complaint form and
information sheet, and (iii) the Iowa City Police Department's written Use of Force Policy,
General Order O5.
The board members introduced themselves, then Mr. King presented an overview of the
PCRB. In addition to describing the PCRB's charge and jurisdictional limits, he reported that
during fiscal year July 2008 to June 2009, nine (9) complaints were filed with thirty-three (33)
allegations. Of those allegations, thirty-two (32) were not sustained and one (1) was sustained.
At the request of the PCRB, Chief Hargadine then gave a presentation on the Iowa City
Police Department's Use of Force Policy.
Approximately nine (9) members of the public attended. Six (6) residents of Iowa City
spoke during the public discussion with the PCRB, including one (1) Iowa City Police
Department officer, who spoke as a private citizen. Their comments and questions can be
summarized as follows, with the PCRB's comments following in italics:
1. Location and Format of Community Forum. There appeared to be a consensus
among those speaking that the PCRB should hold future forums in differing venues, going to the
neighborhoods rather than asking the residents to come to City Hall. There was also a specific
request to focus the forum on public discussion rather than presentations by either the PCRB or
the ICPD or, at the least, to have the presentations at the end of the forum, rather than the
beginning. There was also a suggestion that better publicity was needed.
The PCRB concurs that better public attendance at the forums and better public access to
the PCRB is desirable. The PCRB intends to schedule future forums in other locations in the
future and will seek citizen questions prior to the forum, so that we may be better prepared to
answer those questions. One forum that the PCRB is considering would be held in one of the
southeast Iowa City neighborhoods and would focus on the new juvenile curfew ordinance.
The PCRB will attempt to make PCRB complaint forms available at locations other than
the City Clerk's officer and/or the ICPD, such as the community centers and the public libraries.
The PCRB will also post this letter on the City website.
2. Use of Force. There was lengthy discussion about the ICPD's Use of Force
Policy. Questions included whether the police offers were armed with too much weaponry;
whether less lethal force could be used other than shooting for center body mass -such as
shooting for other body parts or firing warning shots; whether police officers should be given the
benefit of the doubt in the event of the lethal use of force; whether police officers have any
discretion in the use of lethal or less lethal force; whether a person with a knife is a real threat to
a police officer armed with a gun.
Training and education were discussed. Several people talked about the value of training,
education and more interaction with the community on the part of the ICPD. Concerns were
raised .about the racial and class overtones of some of the tension in parts of Iowa City. Mr. King
mentioned the new Community Crime Prevention Officer.
There was discussion as to the source of various portions of the Use of Force policy -
local ordinances, state law and federal law as interpreted by the United States Supreme Court -
and what it would take to make changes to the policy.
Dr. Young pointed out that part of the PCRB's charge is to look at policy so that even if
an officer does nothing that is contrary to policy, the PCRB will look at whether the policy is
appropriate or should be changed.
The PCRB encourages the ICPD to continue its efforts in public education through the
Community Crime Prevention Officer and other efforts.
2
3. Counseling Following Use of Force. In his presentation, Chief Hargardine stated
that he had the discretion to send officers involved in use of force resulting in death or serious
injury to post-traumatic stress counseling. One resident asked if the PCRB had any information
on how many, if any, officers had been sent to counseling.
The PCRB inquired of the Police Chief and was told that the information is a personnel
matter and could not be disclosed.
4. ICPD Priorities. One resident asked specifically how one would register any kind
of opinion about how enforcement priorities are set for the ICPD, whether it would be the PCRB,
the City Council, the Police Chief, and/or the City Manager. This is a question that has been
raised to the PCRB in the past.
The PCRB supports and concurs with the Mission Statement and Department Goals and
Objectives of the ICPD as set forth in General Order 95-02, which is available for review at
http•//www ic~ov orb/site/CMSv2/File/police/generalOrders/~enorder5.pdf The PCRB believes
that any complaints regarding the Goals and Objectives or allocation of resources should be
directed to and answered by the City Council.
5. Ammunition Restrictions. One resident asked about ICPD policies with regard to
ammunition, expressing a specific concern about the use of hollow point bullets.
General Order Number 00-08, Weapons, describes ICPD policy with regard to weapons
and ammunition. The PCRB will send a copy of that General Order to the resident who
inquired. A copy is also available for review at
http •//www icQov org/rite/C1~ISv2/File/police/generalOrders/genorderl ~. pdf •
6. PCRB Past Performance. One resident asked whether, in light of the fact that
thirty-two (32) out of thirty-three (33) complaints in the last fiscal year were held to be not
sustained, the PCRB is doing its investigative job.
The PCRB has discussed this question. Our board is composed of a diverse group of
citizens of Iowa City who bring a broad range of experience and perspective to bear on the
matters before us. We believe that the time we spend on each Complaint, as well as the level of
review regarding each Complaint, is appropriate, and that our work as a Board, rather than
statistics about our findings, is the measure of how we are doing our investigative job.
The PCRB is available to discuss any of the foregoing, should the City Council wish.
Sincerely,
1 ~^
