(SECOND CONSIDERATION)
Comment: The Water Division recommends increasing certain costs and fees charged
to customers for meters, materials and services to better reflect the actual cost. These
fees were last updated in the 1980's. Staff memorandum included in Council packet.

PARKS. (PASS AND ADOPT)
Comment: Although the Director of Parks and Recreation has historically approved
the use of City parks for commercial purposes, such as concession stands, there is
presently nothing in the City Code preventing someone from selling food or other items
in a park. Recently a vendor inquired whether he could sell ice cream in City parks and
staff told him that there is no prohibition but that staff was going to recommend to
Council that the City regulate using parks for commercial purposes. This ordinance
would prohibit all commercial use except as approved by the Director.

ITEM 19. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
%D- 3't g OF IOWA CITY AND JOHNSON COUNTY DOGPAC FOR JOINT MAINTENANCE
OF AND SHARING REVENUES GENERATED FROM THE THORNBERRY AND
RITA'S RANCH OFF-LEASH DOG PARKS
Comment: The current agreements with the Johnson County Dog Park Action
Committee (DogPAC) covering joint maintenance and revenue sharing related to the
Thornberry Off-Leash Dog Park and the Rita's Ranch Dog Park have expired. This
resolution authorizes the City to enter in to a new agreement with a one year term.
This agreement is similar to the previous joint maintenance agreements we've had with
DogPAC, but the fee-sharing arrangement has been amended. Previously DogPAC
received 90% of the fees generated from the dog parks. This new agreement allows
the City to deduct the actual cost of employing park attendants from the dog park fees,
then splitting the remaining fees with DogPAC (who will receive 90% of the net fees
collected). The revenue sharing proposal has been adopted by the Parks and
Recreation Commission at their June 9, 2010 meeting, in the form of a
recommendation to the City Council.

Comment: On April 27, 2010, the City approved the Moss Green Urban Village Urban
Renewal Plan, and in furtherance of the objectives of the Urban Renewal Act, the City
wishes to undertake a program for the revitalization and development of this economic
development area, which includes entering into an agreement with Moss Green
Development Corporation to incentivize the construction of certain infrastructure and
improvements within the urban renewal area. Under the terms of the agreement, Moss
Green Development Corporation will have the opportunity to receive TIF financed
development grants up to a maximum of $13.7 million over a period of twenty years from
the date the City first certifies debt associated with development within the urban renewal
area. The TIF grants will be funded by placing 50% of the tax increment proceeds
generated within the urban renewal area into an account specifically designated for
those grants and the City will retain 50% of the tax increment proceeds for future
incentives to businesses wishing to locate within the urban renewal area. This
Resolution authorizes the Mayor to sign and the City Clerk to attest the Agreement for
Private Redevelopment between the City and Moss Green Development Corporation. At
their meeting on May 25, 2010 the City Council Economic Development Committee
voted 2-1 in favor of recommending the agreement to the full council. Staff recommends
this item be deferred indefinitely to allow greater flexibility in scheduling Council action
when matters have been addressed.

St. Patrick's development sites. To meet the City's redevelopment goals necessitates
the coordination of diverse interests and requires enormous financial resources. NDC

separate City emergency communications center to a unified center, JECSA desires to
have vacation and sick leave benefits that are currently accrued under the City's

Comment: This spring, the Iowa Legislature in SF 2389 created the I-Jobs II Grant
Program, initially called the I-Jobs Smart Growth Planning Grant Program. The
program allows cities and counties to apply for disaster prevention grants. Staff intends
to apply for one I-Jobs II grant to build a levee between McCollister Boulevard and the
Crandic Railroad tracks along the west side of the Iowa River. The I-Jobs II grant
requires a match of approximately 50%. Staff is proposing to use funds from the
payback of a Supplemental Disaster CDBG construction loan for the match. Also on
the agenda is a motion to set a public hearing for August 17 to consider an amendment
to the FY11 Annual Action Plan to use these CDBG funds for the match. Additional
information is provided in a memo from staff in the packet.

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
interest will be charged if the owner pays within 30 days of the first required
publication. Attached as an exhibit to the resolution is a list of the properties that will
be assessed and the amount that will be assessed. Gj ~ ~ b ~,~ u ~
