CONSENT CALENDAR CONTINUED: Reel 87-C20, Side 1
Council agreed to add to the Consent Calendar the resolution accepting
work on the Iowa City Recreation Center heat recovery project to allow
payment in a timely fashion and two additional petitions opposing the FY87
alley pavement assessment project.
FY87 ALLEY PAVEMENT ASSESSMENT PROJECT: Reel 87-C20, Side 1
Ambrisco stated Council received two petitions opposing the alley pavement
assessment projects located south of Bowery Street between the 600 block
of S. Dodge and S. Lucas Streets and between S. Dodge and S. Johnson
Streets. Farmer said there are no objections for the paving of the Press -
Citizen alley, 50% objections on the alley east of Dodge Street and 47%
objections on the alley west of Dodge Street. Farmer said six Council
votes are needed to approve the alley pavement assessment project and
seven Council member votes are needed if there is 75% objection to the
entire project. Timmins stated Iowa City is required by law to follow
certain assessment type formulas. Dickson noted that elderly residents in
i the area may not be able to pay the assessments. In response to Zuber,
Farmer said the value of single-family homes in the area are $51,000 to
$90,000. Gary Slager, owner of 646 and 650 S. Dodge properties, spoke in
favor of the alley paving assessment project on the east side of Dodge
Street. Slager stated he has no paved access to the properties and there
are dust, pothole and traffic problems on the alley. In response to
Ambrisco, Slager stated his portion of the alley paving assessment costs
are $2,702 and $2,229. Eldon W. Wells, owner of properties located at 643
and 645 S. Lucas Street, spoke in opposition of the alley pavement assess-
ment project on the east side of Dodge Street. Wells said retired resi-
dents living in the area have expressed concerns about being able to pay
the assessments. In response to Ambrisco, Karr explained that agenda item
N12 - Resolution of Neccessity - requires six Council votes and seven
Council votes would be required if there were 75% objection to the entire
project. Karr said the FY87 alley paving assessment project consists of
three alleys. Don Pauken, representing partnerships that owner 636 and
642 S. Dodge Street properties, spoke in opposition of the alley paving
assessment project. In response to Councilmembers, Farmer said the three
alleys were included in the project to reduce paperwork and costs.
Timmins said the Council can amend the resolution of necessity by motion.
Council informally agreed to amend the resolution of necessity to delete
the two alleys, east and west of Dodge Street and south of Bowery Street,
from the FY87 alley paving assessment project. Ambrisco noted that agenda
item B11 should read "...south of Bowery Street to the railroad between
Dodge and Lucas Streets."

amount in the Enterprise Fund involve the issuance of revenue bonds sold
for parking, sewer and water; and the majority of the landfill amount was
for the leachate project. Vitosh said this year a contingency amount was

presented a proposal to pay 65% of the cost of the assessment for the
alley south off Bowery between Dodge and Lucas to his neighbors. Slager

the paved length from 390 feet to 254 feet, thus eliminating Mr. Wells'
assessment. Stager offered to pay all of Mrs. Lutgen's assessment and 65%
of Mr. Mumney's and Rohrig's assessments. Slager stated the rest of the
affected property owners are commercial property owners. E.W. Wells, Gene
Fuller, and Marge Miller spoke against the proposed alley assessment
project. Timmins explained the three alley paving projects are combined
into one assessment project. Farmer said the assessment project includes
all three alleys and six Council votes are needed to approve the project.
Farmer explained that seven Council votes are needed if there is 75%
objections from the entire assessment project. Baker stated he may ab-
stain from voting on the Linn Street/Gilbert Street project. Timmins said
Council can first amend the project then vote on the resolution of neces-
sity as amended. In response to Greg Brown, Courtney explained his alley,
(Lyon's Second Addition, Block 9, south off Bowery Street between Johnson
and Dodge Streets), will be deleted from the assessment project.
