To: Mayor and City Council
From: Marian K. Karr, City Clerk
Re: Taxicab Ordinances (Items # 8 & # 9)
The order of the ordinances and comments were incorrect on your August 17 formal agenda.
Item # 8 should have been # 9; and the comments for both were inverted. However the
ordinances themselves and titles are correct.
Revised agenda items # 8 and # 9 are below. I would ask that you, by motion, consider item # 9
before consideration of # 8.
I apologize for the confusion.
ITEM 8. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 5, ENTITLED "BUSINESS AND

ITEM 10. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 17 OF THE CITY CODE,
ENTITLED "BUILDING AND HOUSING," CHAPTER 1, ENTITLED, "BUILDING
CODE," SECTION 3, ENTITLED "AMENDMENTS TO CODE," TO DELETE
SECTION 313 OF THE INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE. (FIRST
CONSIDERATION)
Comment: The City adopted the 2009 edition of the International Residential Code
("IRC") on December 1, 2009. With limited exception, the local amendment to section
313 of the IRC required that townhouses and one and two family occupancies protect
lightweight materials such as trusses or engineered lightweight material in the
structural floor or ceiling areas. This past spring, the Greater Iowa City Area Home
Builders Association ("Home Builders") and truss manufactures raised issues
concerning the implementation of this life safety requirement. In June Council
amended the code to change the effective date to January 3, 2011 to allow a
committee comprised of staff, the Home Builders, the truss manufacturing industry,
area fire departments, and others time to discuss the issue. This committee has met,
and there was a consensus that this matter should wait until the adoption of the 2012
edition of the IRC. The Board of Appeals recommends that Council delete Section 313,
and the minutes from August 2 meeting containing the recommendation are in the
Information Packet. ~~ G v~~

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. Two properties were deferred at
your meeting of July 12 for further information. Staff memorandum included in Council
