CITY OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT September 2, 2025 Resolution authorizing the City Manager to opt the City of Iowa City into additional and future National Opioids Settlements. Prepared By: Reviewed By: Fiscal Impact: Staff Recommendation: Commission Recommendations Jennifer L. Schwickerath, Assistant City Attorney Geoff Fruin, City Manager No impact. Approval N/A Attachments: Iowa Opioid Allocation MOU Exhibit E Schedule A Core Strategies Resolution Purdue and Sackler Participation Form Manufacturers Participation Form Executive Summary: Additional settlements have been reached in the National Opioids litigation. The additional settlements were reached with two groups of defendants 1) Purdue Pharma L.P. and the Sackler Family and 2) manufacturers Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, and Zydus. The deadline to opt into the Purdue Pharma L.P. and the Sackler Family settlement is September 30, 2025, and the deadline to opt into the Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, and Zydus settlement is October 8, 2025. Background / Analysis: For several years, there has been litigation against entities within the prescription opioid supply chain by state and local governments, which is known as the National Opioids litigation. The settlements are structured to encourage maximum participation by state and local governments as the amount of the settlement is determined by the amount of participation. Settlement funds must be used for the abatement of the opioid epidemic and the allocation of the settlement funds in Iowa is governed by the Iowa Opioid Allocation Memorandum of Understanding. The City has participated in prior National Opioids litigation settlements. In December 2021, Council passed and approved Resolution 21-309 authorizing the City Manager to opt into the settlement agreements with Cardinal, McKesson, AmerisourceBergan, Johnson & Johnson/Janssen and to execute the Iowa Opioid Allocation Memorandum of Understanding. In April 2023, Council passed and approved Resolution 23-98 authorizing the City Manager to opt into additional settlement agreements with Teva, Allergan, CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart. Funds have been received from these prior settlements, which have been used for a Community Needs Assessment and Naloxone vending machines and distribution boxes. As required by the executed Iowa Opioid Allocation Memorandum of Understanding, 75% of the funds must be allocated to the Core Strategies provided on Exhibit E Schedule A. Additional settlements have been negotiated as part of the National Opioids litigation with Purdue Pharma L.P. and the Sackler Family as well as manufacturers Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, and Zydus. Assuming maximum participation by states and participating subdivisions, the Purdue Pharma L.P. and the Sackler Family settlement would be approximately $7.4 billion over 15 years. Assuming maximum participation by states and participating subdivisions, the manufacturer settlements would be as follows: • Alvogen to immediately pay up to approximately $19 million; • Amneal to pay up to approximately $74 million over 10 years, and to provide either approximately $177 million of its generic version of the drug Narcan or up to an additional approximately $44 million in cash; • Apotex to immediately pay up to approximately $65 million; • Hikma to immediately pay up to approximately $98 million, and to provide either approximately $35 million of its naloxone product or up to an additional approximately $7 million in cash; • Indivior to pay up to approximately $75 million over five years, a portion of which, at the election of the state, could be paid in the form of Indivior's branded buprenorphine and/or nalmefene products with a value of up to $140 million.; • Mylan to pay up to approximately $290 million over nine years; • Sun to immediately pay up to approximately $32 million; and • Zydus to immediately pay up to approximately $15 million. This resolution would authorize the City Manager to opt the City into the additional settlements with Purdue Pharma L.P. and the Sackler Family and manufacturers Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, and Zydus, and would also authorize the City Manager to opt the City into future settlements, if any.

I. EVIDENCE -BASED DATA COLLECTION AND RESEARCH ANALYZING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ABATEMENT STRATEGIES WITHIN THE STATE E-3 Prepared by: Jennifer L. Schwickerath, Asst. City Attorney, 410 E. Washington St., Iowa City, IA 52240, (319) 356-5030 Resolution No. 25-210 Resolution authorizing the City Manager to opt the City of Iowa City into additional and future National Opioids Settlements. Whereas, Resolution 21-309, adopted by City Council on December 14, 2021, authorized the City Manager to opt the City of Iowa City into the National Diploids Settlements to participate in the nationwide settlement agreements that resolved all opioid litigation brought by states and local political subdivisions against Cardinal, McKesson, AmerisourceBergen, Johnson & Johnson/Janssen; and Whereas, Resolution 23-98, adopted by City Council on April 4, 2023, authorized the City Manager to opt the City of Iowa City into additional settlements that resolved all opioid litigation brought by states and local political subdivisions against Teva, Allergen, CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart; and Whereas, continued negotiations have led to proposed nationwide settlement agreements that would resolve all opioid litigation brought by states and local political subdivisions against Purdue Phanna L.P. and the Sackler Family and against manufacturers Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, and Zydus; and Whereas, the settlement requires defendants Purdue Pharma L.P. and the Sackler Family to pay up to $7.4 billion and defendants Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, and Zydus to pay up to $720 million over the course of years to remediate and abate the impacts of the opioid crisis; and Whereas, the agreements require each state to decide whether it wishes to participate in the settlements; Iowa decided to do so; and Whereas, the more political subdivisions that participate in the settlements, the greater the amount of funds that Flow to that state and the participating subdivisions; and Whereas, any subdivision that does not participate in the settlements will not have share in the settlement funds; and Whereas, Resolution 21-309, adopted by the Council on December 14, 2021, authorized the City Manager to execute the State owa Memorandum of Understanding, which articulates the terms of division of settlement funds between the State and the local subdivisions, as well as approved opioid remediation uses; and Whereas, said State of Iowa Memorandum of Understanding would also apply to any settlement funds received in additional settlements by defendants in the National Opioids Settlements; and Resolution No. 25-210 Page No. 2 Whereas, pursuing separate litigation by the City against the opioid defendants would be expensive, time-consuming, and risky; and Whereas, the deadline for opting into the Purdue Pharma L.P. and the Sackler Family settlement is September 30, 2025, and the deadline for opting into the Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, and Zydus settlement is October 8, 2025; and Whereas, it is possible there may be additional settlements in the National Opioids litigation that follow the same process for participation and allocation; and Whereas, it is thus in the best interests of the City to accept the Purdue Pharma L.P. and the Sackler Family and the Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, and Zydus class action settlement agreements as well as any future settlement agreements, and delegate authority for the execution and management of said agreements to the City Manager; and Whereas, because of the possible need to negotiate allocations with Johnson County, and because of the need to maintain flexibility in managing the expenditure of settlement funds on approved remediation uses, the City Council's previous designation of authority to the City Manager shall be continued. Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, that; t. The City Manager, with the advice and consent of the City Attorney, is hereby authorized to opt in and execute the attached settlement agreements with Purdue Pharma L.P. and the Sackler Family and with Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, and Zydus. 2. The City Manager, with the advice and consent of the City Attorney, is hereby authorized to opt in and execute future settlement agreements, if any, that are part of the National Opioids litigation. 3. The City Manager continues to be authorized to negotiate the sub -allocation of settlement funds from Johnson County to the City of Iowa City, and to manage the expenditure of settlement funds on approved opioid remediation uses.

Deadline: September 30. 2025 A new proposed national opioids settlement has been reached with Purdue (and certain of its affiliates) and the Sackler family. This Participation Package is a follow- up communication to the Notice of New National Opioids Settlement recently received electronically by your subdivision. The proposed settlement is being implemented in connection with Purdue's bankruptcy proceedings, and consists of, among other things, a settlement of Purdue's claims against the Sacklers and certain other parties (referred to as the "Purdue Estate Settlement"), and settlements of direct claims against the Sacklers held by States, local governments and other creditors (collectively, the "Purdue Direct Settlement", and together with the Estate Settlement, the "Purdue Settlement"). The Purdue Direct Settlement for States and local governments is documented in the Governmental Entity and Shareholder Direct Settlement Agreement. You are receiving this Participation Package because all eligible States and territories, including Iowa, are participating in the Purdue Direct Settlement. This electronic envelope contains: • The Participation Form for the Purdue Direct Settlement, including a release of any claims The Participation Form must be executed, without alteration, and submitted on or before September 30, 2025, in order for your subdivision to be considered for initial participation calculations and payment eligibility under the Purdue Direct Settlement. Based upon subdivision participation forms received on or before September 30, 2025, the subdivision participation rate will be used to determine whether participation is sufficient for the Purdue Settlement to move forward and whether a state earns its maximum potential payment under the Purdue Direct Settlement. If the Purdue Settlement moves forward and goes effective, your release will become Docuslgn Envelope ID: A35411F7-27BF45B9-85B4-DA9FlO788BDB effective.

Any subdivision that does not participate may also reduce the amount of money for programs to remediate the opioid crisis in its state. Please note, a subdivision will not necessarily directly receive Purdue Settlement funds by participating; decisions on how Purdue Settlement funds will be allocated within a state are subject to intrastate agreements or state statutes. You are encouraged to discuss the terms and benefits of the Purdue Settlement with your counsel, your Attorney General's Office, and other contacts within your state. Many states are implementing and allocating funds for the Purdue Settlement the same as they did for the prior opioids settlements but states may choose to treat the Purdue Settlement differently.

Prepared By: Alin Dumachi - Senior Engineer Reviewed By: Jason Havel - City Engineer Ron Knoche - Public Works Director Geoff Fruin - City Manager Fiscal Impact: $675,000 available in the Iowa River Powerhouse Dam Repair Project account #W3328 Staff Recommendation: Approval Attachments: Resolution Executive Summary: This agenda item rejects all of the bids received on August 26, 2025 for the Iowa River Powerhouse Dam Repair Project. One (1) bid was submitted prior to the August 26, 2025 deadline: Bidder Name City Bid Tricon General Construction Cedar Rapids, IA $1,656,000.00 Engineer's Estimate $675,000.00 The lowest responsive bid submitted exceeded the Engineer's Estimate of probable cost by more than 100%, and staff recommends that Council reject all bids and set a new date for receipt of bids for the project on October 14, 2025. Follow up conversations with prospective bidders indicated concerns due to the restrictive construction timeframe and the uncertainty associated with seasonal precipitation. In order to address these issues, the bidding documents will be revised through an addendum to provide for a longer construction period. Background / Analysis: A diving inspection of the Iowa River Powerhouse Dam conducted in 2021 identified a range of deterioration, from minor and moderate concrete surface defects to significant undermining of the pedestrian bridge pier. A follow-up diving inspection in November 2024 examined both the upstream and downstream portions of the overflow spillway to assess the progression of this deterioration. The 2024 inspection revealed a 60% increase in the number of defects compared to 2021, with most showing significant changes. Based on these findings, the overflow spillway is currently rated in fair condition, but comprehensive repairs are necessary to extend the service life of the dam and pedestrian bridge. This project generally includes concrete surface repairs to the upstream and downstream section of the spillway, and pier footing repairs. The Iowa River Powerhouse Dam, the location of this project, is influenced by highly variable flows as the Iowa River collects runoff from a watershed of approximately 3,115 square miles. This large drainage area results in significant seasonal fluctuations, with higher flows typically occurring during the spring and summer months due to rainfall, and lower flows more common during the winter. These variations, combined with the unpredictability of weather, create challenges for construction activities within the originally prescribed schedule. Extending the construction period will better account for these conditions and support the safe and effective completion of the repair work.

The current number of 25 permits, which equates to 182,000 hours of validated parking, would be increased to 39.4 permits, which will equate to 288,000 annual hours of validated parking. In addition, the resolution would allow the City Manager, with the advice and consent of the City Attorney, to negotiate and execute future amendments to the number of parking permits without further approval by Council. Background / Analysis: The parking will be valid in City owned parking ramps and charged at the current permit market rate. No spaces will be designated for this specific use. The Transportation Services Department has developed a validation system that will allow the hotel to validate parking ramp tickets for registered guests. The allocation of 39.4 permits will equate to the purchase of 288,000 hours of validated parking per year. This agreement is in line with similar City of Iowa City hotel parking agreements. 5, Prepared by: J. Schwickerath, Asst. City Attorney, 410 E.

Whereas, Staff has considered the parking needs in City owned parking ramps and has determined that this increase can be accommodated and thus recommends approval. Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, that; 1. The City Manager is hereby authorized to execute the attached Amendment No. 1 to the Parking Agreement for Registered Guests. 2. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to certify a copy of this Resolution and above -referenced Agreement and to record the same in the Johnson County Recorder's Office. 3.

Prepared By: Darian Nagle-Gamm; Director of Transportation Services Reviewed By: Geoff Fruin, City Manager Jennifer Schwickerath, Assistant City Attorney Fiscal Impact: The amendment will increase annual revenue to the Parking fund by $13,200 Staff Recommendation: Approval Commission Recommendations: N/A Attachments: Resolution Amendment No. 2 Executive Summary: This resolution authorizes an amendment to the parking agreement between the City of Iowa City and Iowa City Hotel Associates L.L.C., allowing for an increase in the number of parking permits for the use and benefit of Hilton Garden Inn hotel patrons at the hotel operator's expense. The current number of 40 permits, which equates to 288,000 hours of validated parking, would be increased to 50 permits, which will equate to 360,000 annual hours of validated parking. In addition, the resolution would allow the City Manager, with the advice and consent of the City Attorney, to negotiate and execute future amendments to the number of parking permits without further approval by Council. Background / Analysis: The parking will be valid in City owned parking ramps and charged at the current permit market rate. No spaces will be designated for this specific use. The Transportation Services Department has developed a validation system that will allow the hotel to validate parking ramp tickets for registered guests. The allocation of 50 permits will equate to the purchase of 360,000 hours of validated parking per year. This agreement is in line with similar City of Iowa City hotel parking agreements. Prepared by: J. Schwickerath, Asst. City Attorney, 410 E. Washington St., Iowa City, IA 52240, (319) 3565030 Resolution No. 2 s-2 14 Resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign an amendment to the parking agreement with Iowa City Hotel Associates, L.L.C. and for the City Manager to negotiate and execute future amendments to the number of parking permits. Whereas, an Access Easement and Parking Agreement between the City of Iowa City and Iowa City Hotel Associates, L.L.C. was executed on November 10, 2015 for the purchase of 80 parking permits for use by registered hotel patrons in City owned parking ramps; and Whereas, said agreement was amended on February 21, 2020 to decrease the parking permits Iowa City Hotel Associates, L.L.C. was obligated to purchase from 80 to 40; and Whereas, Iowa City Hotel Associates, L.L.C. now requests a second amendment to increase the number of parking permits for hotel patrons from 40 parking permits, which equates to 288,000 annual hours of validated parking per year, to 50 parking permits, which equates to 360,000 annual hours of validated parking per year. Whereas, Staff has considered the parking needs in City owned parking ramps and has determined that this increase can be accommodated and thus recommends approval. Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, that; 1. The City Manager is hereby authorized to execute the attached Amendment No. 2 to the Access Easement and Parking Agreement. 2.

CITY OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT September 2, 2025 Resolution setting public hearing on September 16, 2025 on amending the Fiscal Year 2026 Operating Budget. Prepared By: Nicole Davies, Finance Director Reviewed By: Geoff Fruin, City Manager Fiscal Impact: FY26 budget revisions are funded through new revenues or available fund balance. Staff Recommendation: Approval Commission Recommendations: N/A Attachments: Notice of Public Hearing FY26 Budget Amendment #1 Resolution Executive Summary: The Finance Department requests the City Council to set a public hearing for consideration of amending the fiscal year 2026 annual budget on September 16, 2025. This is the first budget amendment for fiscal year 2026. Background / Analysis: Budget amendments are submitted to the Finance Department and reviewed for approval by the Finance Director and City Manager. Requests to carry appropriations over from one year to the next are also submitted and approved in the same manner. A formal recommendation for a budget amendment is then prepared for City Council approval. The State of Iowa allows cities to amend the annual operating budget for supplemental appropriation authority. These changes may include new or revised revenue and expenditure projections, transfers between funds, and capital improvement plan changes. Increased expenditures must utilize available fund balance or additional revenue sources, as the State does not allow amendments to increase property taxes. According to the City's financial policies, amendments to operating budgets will be made only in the following situations: emergency situations transfer from contingency expenditures with offsetting revenues or fund balance carry-over of prior year budget authority for expenses that had not been paid as of the end of the fiscal year. This proposed budget amendment increases overall revenues and transfers -in by $75,268,400, as shown on Line 15 of the attached notice (see Revenues & Other Financing Sources, lines 1-15). The majority of the increase of revenues being amended is for intergovernmental revenues, transfers in, and other financing sources. Intergovernmental revenues (line 9) are being increased by $18,869,400, which primarily represents State and Federal grants on capital projects and HOME/CDBG and Pro Housing grant revenues that are being carried forward from the prior year. Other Financing Sources (line 13) is being amended by $33,472,800, which primarily represents loan funding for wastewater projects. Transfers in (line 14) are being amended by $22,770,000 for capital improvement projects. The section entitled Expenditures & Other Financial Uses (lines 16-28) provides for an increase in appropriations of $156,431,600. The majority of the increase in appropriations is for the Business Type/Enterprise program (line 25) and totals $69,722,300. The increase in this program primarily reflects the carry forward of utility fund capital improvement projects from prior years. The next largest increase in appropriations is related to governmental capital improvement projects that are being carry forward from prior years (line 23) and total $51,218,100. The last significant increase is for the Community and Economic Development program (line 20) and totals $11,070,000. This primarily reflects the carry forward of appropriations for the ARPA funding received, as well as, CDBG/HOME programs, Pro Housing Grant and the South District home program. The net budgeted result to fund balances is a reduction of $81,163,200 (line 29). This reduction will be covered through excess fund balances and bond funds and will not affect property tax revenues or levies. The Notice of Public Hearing for the first budget amendment of fiscal year 2026 is attached to this memo along with a detailed list of the individual amendments.

The owner is working with MMS Consultants, Inc., to prepare two applications to allow for the redevelopment of 9.90 acres of land at 611 Greenwood Drive, the former Roosevelt Elementary School, and implement a 187-unit affordable housing project. Attachment 3 includes the applicant submittal which illustrate the plan and includes the applicant statement describing the rationale behind the request. The first application to be considered is a Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA25-0002). The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates this area is appropriate for Public/Semi- Public land uses. The area is covered by the Southwest District Plan which identifies it as appropriate for Public Services/Institutional land uses. The proposed amendment would change the future land use designation for the subject property in the Comprehensive Plan to Residential 16- 24 DU/A and in the Southwest District Plan to Medium to High Density Multi -Family. The other concurrent submitted application is a zoning map amendment (REZ25-0010), a request to rezone the subject property, which totals 9.90 acres from Neighborhood Public (P1) zone to Medium Density Single -Family Residential with a Planned Development Overlay (OPD/RM20) zone. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment must be approved prior to the changes to the zoning map. Roosevelt Elementary School was constructed in 1931, opening for its inaugural year of classes in 1932. After 80 years of operation, Roosevelt Elementary closed its doors in 2012, in which the Iowa City Community School District rebranded the building as the Theodore Roosevelt Education Center (TREC), which housed the Home School Assistance Program, as well as other programs for non-traditional students. In 2018, The TREC announced it would cease operations at the end of the academic year, concluding its services in summer of 2019, transferring services to other individual school buildings. The applicant held a good neighbor meeting on May 29, 2025. ANALYSIS: 3 The Iowa City Comprehensive Plan serves as a land -use planning guide by illustrating and describing the location and configuration of appropriate land uses throughout the City, providing notification to the public regarding intended uses of land; and illustrating the long-range growth area limit for the City. Applicants may request an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan with City Council approval after a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Applicants for a comprehensive plan amendment must provide evidence that the request meets the two approval criteria specified in Section 14-8D-3D. The comments of the applicant are found in the attachments. Staff comments on the criteria are as follows. 1.Circumstances have changed and/or additional information or factors have come to light such that the proposed amendment is in the public interest. The subject property is identified as appropriate for Public Use in the IC2030 Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in 2013. At the time of plan adoption it was identified as appropriate for Public/Semi Public uses based on the land being owned by a public entity. Following the closure of the Roosevelt Elementary School in 2012, and the subsequent shutdown of The Roosevelt Education Center in 2019, the building has since sat vacant. In 2021, the Iowa City Community School District made the decision to sell the property. In August 2021, the property was purchased by TWG Iowa City LP. The proposed amendment would recognize the change in ownership from a public entity to a private one. In addition, it would allow for the redevelopment of the subject property, creating more opportunities for residential development, including the planned 187-unit affordable housing project proposed by TWG. This amendment helps the City generate more housing opportunities that are needed to accommodate a growing population. 2.The proposed amendment will be compatible with other policies or provisions of the comprehensive plan, including any district plans or other amendments thereto. At the time the IC2030 Comprehensive Plan was originally adopted in 2013, the TREC was fully functioning. The adopted policy vision of the time aligned with the existing land use of Public Use, but with the closure of the TREC, residential uses are more fitting for this site. The Southwest District Plan acknowledges this within their Planning Principles chapter and is mirrored within the IC2030 Comprehensive Plan. The text states the following: "Citizens stressed the importance of providing a diversity of housing in the District, including homes for first time buyers, mid -sized homes, estate -style homes, townhouses, condominiums, and apartments. The appropriate design and mix of housing types if important to the creation of livable neighborhoods." (p.18) In short, the designation of this land as Public Use is no longer useful in serving the community needs; the proposed amendment aligns with the Southwest District Plan in creating diverse housing options. Furthermore, the proposed amendment meets several goals and strategies regarding land use and housing from the Comprehensive Plan. This includes the following: Land Use Goals & Strategies: • Encourage compact, efficient development that is contiguous and connected to existing neighborhoods to reduce the cost of extending infrastructure and services and to preserve farmland and open space at the edge of the city. o Identify areas and properties that are appropriate for infill development. o Ensure that infill development is compatible and complementary to the surrounding neighborhood. Housing Goals & Strategies: • Encourage a diversity of housing options in all neighborhoods. CI o Ensure a mix of housing types within each neighborhood, to provide options for households of all types (singles, families, retirees, etc.) and people of all incomes. o Identify and support infill development and redevelopment opportunities in areas where services and infrastructure are already in place. o Concentrate new development in areas contiguous to existing neighborhoods where it is most cost effective to extend infrastructure and services. Improve and maintain housing stock in established neighborhoods o Identify areas within established neighborhoods where infill development would be appropriate Support sustainability initiatives to create more energy efficient development o Support compact, contiguous development to ensure the efficient use of land and to enhance opportunities for alternatives to commuting by car Environmental Goals & Strategies: • Recognize the essential role our land use policies play in preserving natural resources and reducing energy consumption o Encourage compact, efficient development that reduces the cost of extending and maintaining infrastructure and services o Discourage sprawl by promoting small -lot and infill development o Raise awareness of the environmental benefits of urban development that makes efficient use of land and infrastructure that reduces reliance on cars for transportation For the reasons above, staff finds the requested comprehensive plan amendment to be compatible with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of CPA25-0002, an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan future land use map from Public/Semi-Public to Residential 16-24 du/acre and the Southwest District Plan future land use map from Public Services/Institutional to Medium to High Density Multi - Family for approximately 9.9 acres of land located at 611 Greenwood Drive. NEXT STEPS: Upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, a public hearing will be scheduled for consideration by the City Council. After a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the following will occur: • City Council will need to set a public hearing for both the Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezoning applications • City Council will consider approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment (CPA25-0002) and must hold three readings including the public hearing for the rezoning (REZ25-0010).

We are proposing a change of the land use from Public to Residential 16-24 DU/A. The proposed land use amendment is consistent with existing a similar land use at the northeast of the property, and a more intense land use west of the property.

To the Planning and Zoning Commission: We are Chandler Tinsman and Carolina Deifelt Streese, residents and homeowners at 606 Greenwood Drive, directly across from 611 Greenwood Drive. We recently received notice regarding the request to rezone 611 Greenwood from Public/Semi-Public to Multi -Family Residential. We fully support the addition of more multi -family housing in Iowa City, as well as the plan to refurbish the school lot into a use that will benefit the community. At the same time, we respectfully ask the Commission to consider the future of the wooded area on the north side of the property, known as Roosevelt Ravine. This ravine contains nature trails historically used by neighborhood residents, provides important habitat for native birds, and serves as a natural buffer against wind and erosion. For these reasons, we request that Roosevelt Ravine remain zoned as Semi -Public, ensuring that it can continue to be preserved, maintained, and enjoyed by the people of Iowa City. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Cc: CA—NDS 612 West Benton St, Iowa City, Iowa 52245 August 15, 2025 Dear Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission: T, Sadie S, May, am writing to address my concerns about the remising application for the Comprehcasive Flan Amen drnent (CPA25-0002? for the Roosevelt Ridge Project Proposal. T own and live at 612. West Benton Street, Iowa City with members of my family. The legal description of my property is atrached to my letton The only privately owned residential property contiguous with the proposed development is mine, which is adversely affected by this plan. I stand iii opposition to this plan. My deep objections are grounded in the second bullet point of the city's Lana! Use; Goals & Strategies of the Comprchensive Plan; Ensure that IiAdl development is compatible and complementary to the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed Roosevelt Ridge Project does not meet this criteria in several ways. It is neithex corapati.blo nor complernenttiry to the sure-aunding neighborhoW, My objoctions and concerns are t� follows: The proposed Roosevelt Midge 1'roj e t is not the right proj act to maintain and complerntut the character of the Roosevelt ncighbcrhuod that has existed for decades in Towa City. This davolopment project negatively changes the attributers of the Roosevelt neighborhood of single family Domes on Benton Street. This high density proposal is too large for the acreage amd the existing 1nfrastructutre of the neighborhood. 'L'lle pla-a transforms this alder section of Benton Street bito an apartmeut row, obliterating its longstanding single tarnily residential identity. I am a senior citizen and the primary residential property owner directly impacted by this plan. The implementation of the project wi11 disn.i.pt and dinminish the quality ofmy life on any property and in my neighborhood. i -will lose the peaceful v istas, their pr -vacy and the security afforded by the green spaces in 1ny. owri Yard. Instead, the;ie henettt-, will be replaced by -uol-sC, chaos, pohiition, trash, trespassing, and possible clime, if this proposed project goes ahead. If the Roosevelt Ridge Project.vcTe interest in keeping the character of the neighborhood, they would have put parking on the wesi side of the development wbct•e there are no close existing single family Dames. However, the Roosevelt Midge I-Tuicct proposes parking within 200 feet of my home and property, where there will bo constant light and sound disruptions as residents compete for limited parking spaces around the cloA. This gill only be intensified during football season. In addition, any ho mcowner's insurance will. increase wl7ilc my prolacrty value will be devahtcd. Such a development will make my property undesirable to t intain and watinuc as a single family residential prop arty. ■ Dujijg construction, my life will be impacted by continuous noise, interruption of utilities and disruption of irtftastructure. Disturbance of the soil on the Mill Will irreparably harm my property, thxough erasion and runoff causing damage from rainwater, snow and soil into my va-rd. How will drainage from the complex be addressed so lbat my property is not negatively affected`? What are the plans for &ww removal from the complex and parking lots ire the winter to prevent drainage onto my propa*? N�7hcrc will IT -ash bins and garbage disposal be located so that smells and verrai.n do not infest my property? What barriers will be erected to minimize sound between the Complex and my house? T} cse issiEes are of direct concern to me. 'in relation to my properly. rurthennore, the addition of 187 apartmcnts, with their accorupanying cars will drastically 11)crcase the traffic, noise, and pollution on Benton Street, Greenwood Drive, Hnds,on Avenue, and Miller Avenue, As it is, soinetitnes we have to omit more than flee minutes for traffic to ease for es to get out of oix .r driveway on nongarne days. Miller and Hudson Avenues are currently so ntirrow that only one lane of traffic earl travel to a direction at a time on the street. They arc not designed tar two-way trade. The traffic impact on Oe sinTountking streetts in the neighborhood are detrimental to Briarwood Health C are Center and the EarIy Explorers Daycare Center, It is clear that the proposed high density plan for Roosevelt Ridge dues not offer adequate parking for the number of residents. This means that parking in the neighborhood outside of the complex will hecome even more ditTicaIt, and on game days both the traffic and parking problems intm'dA The Roosevelt Ridge Project will ilnpcde the quality of'life I have enjoyed in this neighborhood far nearly seven decades. ILwi11 also dimiriisb my legacy to my children au grandchildren. 1 support of brdable housing, especially when it presenFes existing residential neighborhoods in a sustainable manner. I contend that the proposed Roosevelt Ridgc development will per7naneniI harm bath my neighborhood and my quality of life. The loss of peace, green space, privacy, security and residential vaiue is too much. The uicreascd traffic, noise, and pollution is too much. The resulting chaos from a high density multi -tin it d eiUng right next door also too much. This project, as currently constituted, decimates the historic naturc of lower I -Vest Benton Street as a residential community of single family 11omQs. T urge this Commission to reject this proposal, Tt is not the right fit for tide Roosevelt neighborhood. Sincerely' r Sadie S.

August 20, 2025 TO: Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commissioners RE: Cases # CPA25-0002 and REZ25-0010 (611 Greenwood Drive, Iowa City) Honorable Commissioners, read with interest these two items on your August 27, 2025 agenda. I am familiar with this property and its recent fall into disrepair. Any proposal for anew and viable use of this property should be looked at favorably, and in the best interest of the community. The one concern I have is that the proposed new development remains long-term affordable housing, as is apparently proposed by the developer. Affordable housing like this is sorely needed in our community. Any project that brings this many affordable units to the city should and would be well received. It also seems an appropriate use of this Large, formerly public property. But, as a former P&Z Commissioner myself, I know the Commission and the City have been duped before by developers who SAID they were going to do one thing but ended up doing something entirely different. I would caution the Commission on this potential. I did not see any conditions recommended by staff that would require the new development to actually be and/or remain affordable housing. I would like to suggest that the Commission add such a condition, to protect the intent and integrity of the project. The city would be giving the developer a significant win by changing the Comp Plan designation and zoning designation of this property. The developer should be held to their original proposal or should be required to come before the Commission and City Council if they wish to change their mind in the future. would also suggest that any condition for affordable housing by the Commission and City Council be made for a minimum of 20 years, if not permanently. Thank you for your consideration, and thank you for the important and challenging work you volunteer to do for the City of Iowa City and it's residents!

This message is from an external sender. Anne - please forward to the Planning and Zoning Commission for the 8/27/2025 meeting. Thanks. Dear Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission, For those of us who live in the Miller Orchard neighborhood, those of us who fought to try to keep Roosevelt Elementary open, those of us whose children attended Roosevelt where they received excellent educations and who still recall fond memories of their years there, this day has been a long time in the making. It is actually a bit of a relief to finally see this day come. I fully support the development of more affordable housing in Iowa City. At first glance, this project brings some interesting promise and I believe it is being proposed in good faith. It does lead me to several questions. Affordable Housing The staff report states the "applicant is working to secure Low Income Housing Tax Credits for the proposed development; therefore, the proposed development is intended to be an affordable housing project." The staff report implies that all 187 units will be affordable. My basic understanding of the Low -Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program is that it's a federal government program to encourage the development of affordable rental housing. The program awards developers federal tax credits to offset construction costs in exchange for agreeing to reserve a certain percentage of units as rent -restricted for lower -income households. The requirements to receive the tax credit are complex, but it is reported that the most common option chosen by developers is the one that requires that at least 40% of the units must be rent -restricted and occupied by tenants whose income is 60% or less of the AMI. Also, information I found states the LIHTC program requires that properties remain affordable for a minimum of 30 years which is divided into two parts: a 15-year initial compliance period and a subsequent 15-year extended -use period. 1. Somewhere along the line I've ended up confused. How many of the 187 units will be reserved as rent -restricted for lower income households? All of them? Or will the development meet the 40% rent -restricted units required to receive the LIHTC tax credit which is around 74 units and 113 units will be market -rate units? 2. If the applicant doesn't receive the LIHTC, will any units be affordable and for how long? Parking I'm also confused about the parking requirement for the development. According to the Iowa City Zoning Code 14-417-4: INCENTIVIZED AFFORDABLE HOUSING: B. All Other Zones: Owners of land that are not zoned a Riverfront Crossings zoning designation pursuant to Article 14-2G "Riverfront Crossings and Eastside Mixed Use Districts Form Based Development Standards" or a Form -Based Zone pursuant to Article 14-2H "Form -Based Zones and Standards" who voluntarily provide Affordable Housing in accordance with this Article may utilize the following incentives: 1. Parking Reduction: Affordable Housing dwelling units shall be exempt from providing the minimum number of parking spaces otherwise required by the zoning code. " 1. Does that mean that if the unit within the development isn't designated as an affordable unit, then it's not exempt from the parking requirement? If a development has 40% of its total units reserved for affordable housing, is the parking requirement reduced by 40% or does the reduction also apply to units in the development that are rented at market rate so that absolutely no parking is required for the entire complex? 2. As I recall from the Good Neighbor Meeting, it was stated they are going to provide 113 parking spaces (an interesting number), although they didn't have to provide any (all 187 units will be affordable housing?) Coincidentally 113 is 60% of 187. Does that imply that because they are providing 113 parking spaces, 113 units (60%) can/will be rented at market rate and 74 (40% which meets the LIHTC requirement) will be affordable units? Maybe I'm way off base or reading too much into this. Traffic The traffic study, completed while the University was not in session and prior to the full occupancy of Replay at the corner of Myrtle and Riverside, is very thorough, provides a lot of information to digest, and raises some points of concern. And it's easy to fall back on the idea, however simplistic, that these are arterial, high -capacity streets and that's where we put larger developments. However, there's a breaking point and those figures don't translate well into real life experience. It's a point that the neighborhood has brought up again and again and again over the past 10 years every time we've had development after development (all within one-half mile) built in the neighborhood. So again, I'd just like to highlight, one more time, that the report makes no reference to what those of us who live in the area know well — that traffic congestion has greatly increased due to all the recent development (Riverside, Orchard, Riverside/Myrtle) and that cars historically have used Orchard, Hudson, and Miller as cut throughs to/from Hwy 1 and Benton Street as they try to avoid the stop lights and heavy traffic on Riverside. It should be noted that Hudson and Miller are narrower streets which allow parking on one side, making them hard to navigate when faced with opposing traffic and no place to allow them to pass. (see attached map) A final reminder - in approving CPA25-0002 and REZ25-0010, you are recommending a Comprehensive Plan amendment and a land rezoning. While detailed development plans have been provided, once approved by Council, the Comp Plan and land rezoning are done and the actual building doesn't have to adhere to the plans submitted with the application — only with the zoning requirements and any approved rezoning conditions. So, here's yet another question: With the Comp Plan amended and the land rezoned, what gets developed there if the applicant isn't awarded the Low -Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and their plans for the property change? Thank you for your service, your time, and your devotion to making Iowa City a city for all. This neighborhood has been rocked by large infill developments during the last 10 years (see attachment) and the character of the neighborhood has forever been changed, the result of how the many layers of City plans have been interpreted and amended, sometimes in a piecemeal fashion, but with good intentions. Please take a minute to look through the attached maps and information to get a feel for the larger neighborhood that will be impacted by the Roosevelt redevelopment.

Notary Public in and for the State of Iowa Orig: Council packet 05/2022 Cc: CA — NDS 612 West Benton St. Iowa City, Iowa 52246 August 15, 2025 Dear Mayor and Members of Iowa City City Council: I, Sadie S. May, am writing to address my concerns about the rezoning application for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA25-0002) for the Roosevelt Ridge Project Proposal. I own and live at 612 West Benton Street, Iowa City with members of my family. The legal description of my property is attached to my letter. The only privately owned residential property contiguous with the proposed development is mine, which is adversely affected by this plan. I stand in opposition to this plan. My deep objections are grounded in the second bullet point of the city's Land Use Goals & Strategies of the Comprehensive Plan: Ensure that infill development is compatible and complementary to the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed Roosevelt Ridge Project does not meet this criteria in several ways. It is neither compatible nor complementary to the surrounding neighborhood. My objections and concerns are as follows: The proposed Roosevelt Ridge Project is not the right project to maintain and complement the character of the Roosevelt neighborhood that has existed for decades in Iowa City. This development project negatively changes the attributes of the Roosevelt neighborhood of single family homes on Benton Street. This high density proposal is too large for the acreage and the existing infrastructure of the neighborhood. The plan transforms this older section of Benton Street into an apartment row, obliterating its longstanding single family residential identity. I am a senior citizen and the primary residential property owner directly impacted by this plan. The implementation of the project will disrupt and diminish the quality of my life on my property and in my neighborhood. I will lose the peaceful vistas, their privacy and the security afforded by the green spaces in my own yard. Instead, these benefits will be replaced by noise, chaos, pollution, trash, trespassing, and possible crime, if this proposed project goes ahead. If the Roosevelt Ridge Project were interested in keeping the character of the neighborhood, they would have put parking on the west side of the development where there are no close existing single family homes. However, the Roosevelt Ridge Project proposes parking within 200 feet of my home and property, where there will be constant light and sound disruptions as residents compete for limited parking spaces around the clock. This will only be intensified during football season. In addition, my homeowner's insurance will increase while my property value will be devalued. Such a development will make my property undesirable to maintain and continue as a single family residential property. During construction, my life will be impacted by continuous noise, interruption of utilities and disruption of infrastructure. Disturbance of the soil on the hill will irreparably harm my property, through erosion and runoff causing damage from rainwater, snow and soil into my yard. How will drainage from the complex be addressed so that my property is not negatively affected? What are the plans for snow removal from the complex and parking lots in the winter to prevent drainage onto my property? Where will trash bins and garbage disposal be located so that smells and vermin do not infest my property? What barriers will be erected to minimize sound between the complex and my house? These issues are of direct concern to me in relation to my property. Furthermore, the addition of 187 apartments, with their accompanying cars will drastically increase the traffic, noise, and pollution on Benton Street, Greenwood Drive, Hudson Avenue, and Miller Avenue. As it is, sometimes we have to wait more than five minutes for traffic to ease for us to get out of our driveway on nongame days. Miller and Hudson Avenues are currently so narrow that only one lane of traffic can travel in a direction at a time on the street. They are not designed for two-way traffic. The traffic impact on the surrounding streets in the neighborhood are detrimental to Briarwood Health Care Center and the Early Explorers Daycare Center. It is clear that the proposed high density plan for Roosevelt Ridge does not offer adequate parking for the number of residents. This means that parking in the neighborhood outside of the complex will become even more difficult, and on game days both the traffic and parking problems intensify. The Roosevelt Ridge project will impede the quality of life I have enjoyed in this neighborhood for nearly seven decades. It will also diminish my legacy to my children and grandchildren. I support affordable housing, especially when it preserves existing residential neighborhoods in a sustainable manner. I contend that the proposed Roosevelt Ridge development will permanently harm both my neighborhood and my quality of Iife. The loss of peace, green space, privacy, security and residential value is too much. The increased traffic, noise, and pollution is too much. The resulting chaos from a high density multi -unit dwelling right next door also too much. This project, as currently constituted, decimates the historic nature of lower West Benton Street as a residential community of single family homes. I urge this Commission to reject this proposal. It is not the right fit for the Roosevelt neighborhood. Sincerely, A Sadie S.

I am familiar with this property and its recent fall into disrepair. Any proposal for a new and viable use of this property should be looked at favorably, and in the best interest of the community. The one concern I have is that the proposed new development remains long-term affordable housing, as is apparently proposed by the developer. Affordable housing like this is sorely needed in our community. Any project that brings this many affordable units to the city should and would be well received. It also seems an appropriate use of this large, formerly public property. But, as a former P&Z Commissioner myself, I know the Commission and the City have been duped before by developers who SAID they were going to do one thing but ended up doing something entirely different. I would caution the Commission on this potential. I did not see any conditions recommended by staff that would require the new development to actually be and/or remain affordable housing. I would like to suggest that the Commission add such a condition, to protect the intent and integrity of the project. The city would be giving the developer a significant win by changing the Comp Plan designation and zoning designation of this property. The developer should be held to their original proposal or should be required to come before the Commission and City Council if they wish to change their mind in the future. I would also suggest that any condition for affordable housing by the Commission and City Council be made for a minimum of 20 years, if not permanently. Thank you for your consideration, and thank you for the important and challenging work you volunteer to do for the City of Iowa City and it's residents!

Dew Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission, For those of us who live in the Miller Orchard neighborhood, those of us who fought to try to keep Roosevelt Elementary open, those of us whose children attended Roosevelt where they received excellent educations and who still recall fond memories of their years there, this day has been a long time in the making. It is actually a bit of a relief to finally we this day come. I fully support the development of more affordable housing in Iowa City. At first glance, this project brings some interesting promise and I believe it is being proposed in good faith. It does lead me to several questions. Affordable Housing The staff report states the "applicant is working to secure Low Income Housing Tax Credits for the proposed development; therefore, the proposed development is intended to be an affordable housing project." The staff report implies that all 187 units will be affordable. My basic understanding of the Low -Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program is that it's a federal government program to encourage the development of affordable rental housing. The program awards developers federal tax credits to offset construction costs in exchange for agreeing to reserve a certain percentage of units as rent -restricted for lower -income households. The requirements to receive the tax credit are complex, but it is reported that the most common option chosen by developers is the one that requires that at least 40% of the units must be rent -restricted and occupied by tenants whose income is 60% or less of the AMI. Also, information I found states the LIHTC program requires that properties remain affordable for a minimum of 30 years which is divided into two parts: a 15-year initial compliance period and a subsequent 15-year extended -use period. 1. Somewhere along the line I've ended up confused. How many of the 187 units will be reserved as rent -restricted for lower income households? All of them? Or will the development meet the 40% rent -restricted units required to receive the LIHTC tax credit which is around 74 units and 113 units will be market -rate units? 2. If the applicant doesn't receive the LIHTC, will any units be affordable and for how long? Parking I'm also confused about the parking requirement for the development. According to the Iowa City Zoning Code 14-417-4: INCENTIVIZED AFFORDABLE HOUSING: B. All Other Zones: Owners of land that are not zoned a Riverfront Crossings zoning designation pursuant to Article 14-2G "Riverfront Crossings and Eastside Mixed Use Districts Form Based Development Standards' or a Form -Based Zone pursuant to Article 14-2H "Form -Based Zones and Standards" who voluntarily provide Affordable Housing in accordance with this Article may utilize the following incentives: 1. Parking Reduction: Affordable Housing dwelling units shall be exempt from providing the minimum number of parking spaces otherwise required by the zoning code. " 1. Does that mean that if the unit within the development isn't designated as an affordable unit, then it's not exempt from the parking requirement? If a development has 40% of its total units reserved for affordable housing, is the parking requirement reduced by 40% or does the reduction also apply to units in the development that are rented at market rate so that absolutely no parking is required for the entire complex? 2. As 1 recall from the Good Neighbor Meeting, it was stated they are going to provide 113 parking spaces (an interesting number), although they didn't have to provide any (all 187 units will be affordable housing?) Coincidentally 113 is 60% of 187. Does that imply that because they are providing 113 parking spaces, 113 units (60%) can/will be rented at market rate and 74 (40% which meets the LIHTC requirement) will be affordable units? Maybe I'm way off base or reading too much into this. Traffic The traffic study, completed while the University was not in session and prior to the full occupancy of Replay at the comer of Myrtle and Riverside, is very thorough, provides a lot of information to digest, and raises some points of concern. And it's easy to fall back on the idea, however simplistic, that these are arterial, high -capacity streets and that's where we put larger developments. However, there's a breaking point and those figures don't translate well into real life experience. It's a point that the neighborhood has brought up again and again and again over the past 10 years every time we've had development after development (all within one-half mile) built in the neighborhood. So again, I'djust like to highlight, one more time, that the report makes no reference to what those of us who live in the area know well — that traffic congestion has greatly increased due to all the recent development (Riverside, Orchard, Riverside/Myrtle) and that cars historically have used Orchard, Hudson, and Miller as cut throughs to/from Hwy t and Benton Street as they try to avoid the stop lights and heavy traffic on Riverside. It should be noted that Hudson and Miller are narrower streets which allow parking on one side, making them hard to navigate when faced with opposing traffic and no place to allow them to pass. (see attached map) A final reminder - in approving CPA25-0002 and REZ25-0010, you are recommending a Comprehensive Plan amendment and a land rezoning. While detailed development plans have been provided, once approved by Council, the Comp Plan and land rezoning are done and the actual building doesn't have to adhere to the plans submitted with the application — only with the zoning requirements and any approved rezoning conditions. So, here's yet another question: With the Comp Plan amended and the land rezoned, what gets developed there if the applicant isn't awarded the Low -Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and their plans for the property change? Thank you for your service, your time, and your devotion to making Iowa City a city for all This neighborhood has been rocked by large infill developments during the last 10 years (see attachment) and the character of the neighborhood has forever been changed, the result of how the many layers of City plans have been interpreted and amended, sometimes in a piecemeal fashion, but with good intentions.

CITY OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT September 2, 2025 Resolution Instituting Proceedings to Take Additional Action for the Authorization of a Loan and Disbursement Agreement and the Issuance of Not to Exceed $36,000,000 Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes. Prepared By: Nicole Davies, Finance Director Reviewed By: Geoff Fruin, City Manager Fiscal Impact: Adopted as part of the FY2025 Revised Budget and 2025- 2029 Capital Improvement Program. Staff Recommendation: Approval Commission Recommendations: N/A Attachments: Resolution Executive Summary: There is a resolution for the formal City Council meeting on August 19th that is setting a public hearing regarding the issuance of a Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Note. The hearing is being scheduled for September 2nd. This loan is for two projects at the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. They are the Digester Complex Rehabilitation and the Digester Gas Improvements projects. Background / Analysis: On April 2, 2024 the City approved a 0% interim planning and design loan through the Iowa Water Pollution Control Works Program (the "SRF Program"). These funds covered engineering and design for two improvement projects at the South Wastewater Treatment Plant, the Digester Complex Rehabilitation and the Digester Gas Improvements. This short-term loan will later be combined into a larger Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Note, not to exceed $36,000,000. This Capital Loan Note will fund the remaining costs of these two projects. The total cost for both projects is currently estimated at $44,000,000. Any costs above the loan amount will be paid from the City's available sewer cash reserves. The borrowing of loan funds by the City through the SRF program involves the same procedures applicable to the issuance and sale of municipal bonds generally. Although the Iowa Finance Authority (the "Authority") has agreed to make the City a loan under the terms of a Loan and Disbursement Agreement, that loan will be secured and evidenced by a Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Note that will be issued to the Authority at the time the loan is closed, which is anticipated to be within a few months. The City's bond attorney, Kristin Billingsley Cooper, and the City's municipal advisor, Maggie Burger, are assisting the City with the loan process. r Items to Include on Agenda For the Council Meeting on September 2, 2025 City of Iowa City, Iowa Not to Exceed $36,000,000 Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes (State of Iowa Revolving Fund Loan) Public hearing on the authorization of a Loan and Disbursement Agreement and the issuance of Notes to evidence the obligation of the City thereunder.

Prepared By: Erika Kubly, Neighborhood Services Coordinator Reviewed By: Tracy Hightshoe, Neighborhood and Development Services Director Geoff Fruin, City Manager Fiscal Impact: $30,000 in FY26 from the General Fund human services budget Staff Recommendation: Approval Commission Recommendations: The Housing and Community Development Commission recommended funding for Non -Legacy Agencies on August 18, 2025 with a vote of 5-0. Attachments: Non -Legacy HCDC worksheet HCDC 8.18.25 minutes -draft Resolution Exhibit A FY26 Non -Legacy Executive Summary: The City budgets financial aid to human service agencies serving Iowa City residents each year. For FY26, up to 5% of the budget can be allocated to Non -Legacy Agencies. The amount of $30,000 was determined at the June 3, 2025 City Council meeting along with awards for the Legacy Aid to Agencies funding for FY26. An application process was held for Non -Legacy funding and 21 applications were received. The Housing and Community Development Commission selected five agencies to receive FY26 funding. Background / Analysis: Aid to Agencies provides flexible operational funding for nonprofits serving low -to -moderate income residents of Iowa City. Non -Legacy Agency funding for FY26 in the amount of $30,000 was made available to nonprofit organizations in good standing that are not receiving FY26 Legacy Aid to Agencies funding. Proposals must address one of the following established priorities: • Homeless and Shelter Services • Food Insecurity • Healthcare (includes mental and behavioral health) • Childcare and Youth Services • Housing Stability Services • Transportation Applications were made available on June 16, 2025 with a deadline of July 16, 2025 at noon. Minimum funding awards are $5,000 with a maximum award of $15,000 as set by Council Resolution #23-320. The City received 21 applications for funding ahead of the deadline. Staff and the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) reviewed submitted applications. A preliminary funding recommendation was formulated by staff with a final recommendation coming from HCDC after discussion at their August 18, 2025 meeting. While there is no established scoring criteria for Non -Legacy applications, consideration was given for the impact to vulnerable populations, financial sustainability of services, quality of application, previous Non -Legacy funding, and other City grants received recently. The following agencies were recommended by HCDC for Non -Legacy funding for FY26: Agency & Funding Activity Funding Recommendation Agape Cafe $7,500 Community Inclusion Club $6,250 Escucha Mi Voz $6,250 Free Mental Health Clinic $5,000 Kids First Law Center $5,000 Total Funding $30,000 A full list of applicants can be found in the attached HCDC worksheet. Full applications submissions can be found on the city website at www.icgov.org/grants. Following award of Non -Legacy funds, staff will begin executing agreements with funding recipients. Reporting requirements include submission of two biannual progress reports, the agency's most recent annual report (describing general agency activities), and compliance with city audit requirements.

CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: JULY 21, 2025: Kiche moved to approve the minutes of July 21, 2025. Dennis seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the minutes were approved 5-0. PUBLIC COMMENT FOR TOPICS NOT ON THE AGENDA: None. DISCUSS FY26 NON -LEGACY AID TO AGENCIES (FORMERLY "EMERGING") FUNDING REQUESTS AND CONSIDER BUDGET RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL: Thul shared a spreadsheet showing the requests that were received for FY26. One column of the spreadsheet shows the staff recommendations and details on those recommendations were included in the memo in the agenda packet. The blank column is what the Commission will need to complete tonight. Vogel first wanted to acknowledge to all the applicants that there was an incredible amount of very qualified applications for projects and programs. What he hopes is that no one goes away from here feeling unappreciated, however, the fact is the Commission has a very limited budget and simply could not award money to everyone. Dennis stated she really appreciated the staff memo and noted the Commissioners certainly don't have to stick to any of those, but it's interesting. In general, staff don't recommend funding an application for more than two years. She would personally agree with that, if they're Non -Legacy, which used to be Emerging, and an applicant has received funding within the last two years, that they are not considered anymore. Rocklin would support that approach. Murray stated how she looked at this was really about what could be completed with the greatest reach for the funding period. She acknowledged that there's pluses and minuses to both views, but she viewed it as what could accomplish a full goal. Her biggest recommendations were the Community Inclusion Club to provide those events for the totality of the year and looking at the events that could start and finish during the funding time. She also noted the Community Transportation Committee. Transportation is consistently one of the top needs through Iowa City and Johnson County and the connected areas. Also the Agape Cafe, she particularly liked that they don't require a threshold requirement. That is harder and harder to find, especially for people who are hovering just over a threshold. Dennis agrees about the Agape Cafe and noted staff also recommended it. Housing and Community Development Commission August 18, 2025 Page 3 of 9 Vogel stated he would like to spread out the love as much as possible and agrees Agape Cafe has a general consensus that they all like that application and agree with that program. Rocklin agreed with Murray and looked at projects that would finish in the funding period. He also looked at some that looked like they would have effect beyond the period. St. Andrew Presbyterian Church would be the perfect example of that as they'll be putting in the outlets and refrigerating food for the indefinite future. Dennis felt that St. Andrew Presbyterian Church foot the bill for that. Rocklin noted it was hard to tell for a lot of the organizations whether they are fit to grow or not and whether they have the capacity. They received requests from organizations that have a couple million dollars in reserve, but he don't know what that's programmed for or it is unrestricted reserves. Kiche did not agree with St. Andrew. Vogel supports St. Andrew Presbyterian Church for primarily the exact same reason, which is that it's an ongoing solution project. They can leave St. Andew for now. Vogel noted one that staff recommended, which was interesting was Kids First Law Center. He hasn't seen anything like that before, at least in his time here. This is a project proposal addressing a need that he feels the community has not seen before. He likes this organization because when looking at the applications, he was trying to address things that were outside of other ongoing agency stuff. He acknowledged housing is always big, and food assistance is big, but they haven't really ever addressed this subset before. Dennis stated most of the funding comes from corporate or individuals. She stated they're all good programs, all of them. She questions why they don't receive funding from the courts. It almost seems like it's an unfunded mandate, which she has never been a fan of. Rocklin noted they're actually a good example of what they were just talking about. They have about a million and a half of unrestricted assets and a million dollars of annual expenditures. They're a big organization and he wasn't sure if $15,000 is going to help that much. Murray noted in their application they stated with a $15,000 grant that will provide children with services worth more than $84,000. Dennis explained what they are asking for is money to help leverage an additional $84,000 into Iowa City partners. Thul stated the applicant shared some information in the Q & A about their fee structure and what a normal fee would be per hour versus what they're charging. Dennis is not in favor of funding Kids First. Kiche is in favor given the nature of all the populations that are poor and what they will be dealing with in terms of child cases, adoptions, and situations where maybe the children want to have a say about the conflict in their families and have an independent attorney that is not representing the father or the mother. These cases that are becoming common in cases of adoption — he has had some experiences with that. He also noted from the information in the annual report, he was convinced that lives have been changed by this. He wants to give them $5,000 because he wanted to be fair to others too. Housing and Community Development Commission August 18, 2025 Page 4 of 9 Vogel reiterated it is such a unique niche that he's never seen and honestly never thought about but it is a real problem. Dennis is not convinced. Rocklin is willing to keep it open and continued that at the end of the day all of this is comparative and would be interested in hearing thoughts about more applicants. Dennis liked Open Heartland. Vogel stated his problem was that they answered no on the question of whether they received any assistance in the last five years, and they have received a lot of funding. He found it weird that they answered that they had not. Rocklin noted that it's essentially support to buy more food, and they didn't show evidence that they were running out. Dennis liked that they provided food to many places in the community. Kiche asked if they the ones who don't have permanent staff and it is 100% volunteer basis. Thul confirmed that was correct. Vogel stated them answering no to the funding question when they had received pervious funding just makes it a no for him. Rocklin is sympathetic that it is all volunteer and maybe they don't know whether they got money last year, but that speaks to their functioning capabilities of the organization. Vogel stated the City supported the NAMI JC, but they were not on his list to support because they got money in 2021 so he did not consider this one closely. Rocklin noted they resubmitted the budget because the first one showed a $15,000 surplus, and in the resubmit they added a line of $15,000 for healthcare, but he doesn't understand what that is or how it relates to the project. He also noticed that in their agency budget, Our Place, which is where the peer support is headquartered, shows $64,000 in revenue and $49,000 in expenses for a net of nearly $15,000 so he couldn't quite align the budget with the request. It also would have helped a lot, not that it was required, to see a letter of support from the Free Lunch Program and Shelter House, where they proposed to do this work. Dennis stated NAMI is certainly a well -established agency in this area and they do a lot of fundraising. Kiche was worried about the location of 15,000 marks and when looking at the questions that the Commission sends, and then the answers, he was troubled by the negative balance that they've been having and was trying to reconcile looking at the tax return, and noted the director is getting something well over 60 something, but looking at this expenditure on salaries and benefits, it is $338,000 making him wonder if this is the salary, and why are they not showing that in the tax form. He acknowledged sometimes when you earn a certain amount, you don't need to file a return or report that on 1099, but that there's something missing. Vogel agreed it is interesting because the payroll and health care and retirement is $439,000 of their $571,000 revenue and then program expenses much less so yes there is a weird disconnect. Rocklin did notice two years of deficit spending, which is not a good sign for an organization. On the other hand, their current budget is considerably higher. He is not an expert, but he believes the salaries that 4 Housing and Community Development Commission August 18, 2025 Page 5 of 9 have to be listed on the 990 are the highest paid staff. On the program expenses, a lot of the salaries are allocated to program expenses so they're spending 69% on programs. Kiche was wondering about NAMI JC because they are the ones getting the highest allocation from the City so he is open to listening but the best he wants to do is $5,000 unless there is other persuasion from the rest of the Commission. Murray appreciates that they have been budgeting to pay peer support specialists as that has become more of the standard, but it's not a universal standard. She also thinks budget scrutiny is always good, but staff are expensive, especially the benefits. Vogel asked to hear top favorites from Commissioners that they have not discussed yet. Kiche stated when reviewing the applications, apart from looking at the areas like food, safety, housing and disability, he was looking at special populations too. He especially wants to support Escucha Mi Voz because of the population of the people they are supporting. Vogel agrees and liked their application as it was a very specific population. His issue was they have received a lot of recent funding from City sources so he did not have them on his list, but the $15,000 does make a difference with this population. Dennis would consider $5,000 for Escucha Mi Voz. In the past they've done a lot of research and it takes a lot of planning to get anything started. Additionally, community -wide, they're very well respected but since they have received that money from the City in the past she would consider $5,000 for them. Kiche agreed and was also thinking $5,000 would be the amount to give them. They are very good in long term, not only in terms of providing services to their clients, but they are helping the city with a lot of information that the city needs for planned health care, housing, and other things. Escucha Mi Voz was able to go out there and get a lot of survey responses and information and that is an organization that they probably need to support. Vogel stated the other thing he liked about it is this is a time when legal services for immigrants could potentially be the hottest topic in needs right now. Rocklin liked the work they proposed. It didn't quite float to the top, but he is not opposed. Rocklin liked The Free Medical Clinic project - psycho -educational workshops for paroled individuals during their reentry period. Staffed by volunteer medical students, supervised by social worker and faculty member. Again, he was looking for things that might have a longer lasting effect and this one is a development of modules and presumably those modules will be developed and used again. Actually providing the psycho -educational workshops that will actually be funded again somehow in future. Dennis agreed it is a very vulnerable population. Murray stated her only hesitation for this is that they partner with the University Hospitals and Clinics so she is curious about the deficit and how that could have been made by the University. Murray noted it says it will be conducted by volunteer students with clinical experience made through the partner college. Vogel thinks it is more of a student organization outreach program more so than an official UIHC program. Dennis asked about Iowa Valley Resource Conservation and Development, it seems like that one wasn't well received because it is statewide and they're working with other entities and maybe the resources will be spread out and not used in Iowa City. Housing and Community Development Commission August 18, 2025 Page 6 of 9 Kiche stated they aren't sure that the funding would be touching anyone in Iowa City. Rocklin noted they estimate that 50% of their beneficiaries are IC residents but they don't have a good way to estimate beneficiaries. Vogel stated there was a direct 40,000 pounds of fresh produce in Iowa City. Rocklin added that seven of their food service partners are located in Iowa City. Kiche indicated that they work with organizations like Table to Table and some of those are funded already in the Legacy projects. Dennis stated her favorite was Agape Cafe and others seem to agree. She proposes funding them more than $5,000. The Commission discussed allocations for Agape Cafe, Escucha Mi Voz, Free Mental Health Clinic and Community Inclusion. Murray stated the Community Inclusion Club was probably the first one that hooked her with it's goal to provide tailored events to persons with intellectual disabilities. The funding will be used this year and maybe if it's planned, executed, and completed within a funding year - it would hopefully be leveraged to get additional funding afterwards. Dennis noted with the allocations so far they are hitting food assistance, mental health, folks with intellectual disabilities, and immigrants so do they still want to allocate to the Kids First Law Center. Vogel would make an argument for the remaining $7,500 to go to the Kids First Law Center, it's something new and was also a staff recommendation. Murray moved to recommend the following funding recommendations for FY26 Non -Legacy Aid to Agencies. Kiche seconded A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-0. FY26 Staff HCDC Applicant Request Recommendation Recommendation Access 2 Independence $5,000 $0.00 $0.00 Agape Cafe $7,500 $7,500.00 $7,500.00 Community Inclusion Club $7,000 $0.00 $6,250.00 Community Transportation Committee $15,000 $0.00 $0.00 Escucha Mi Voz $15,000 $0.00 $6,250.00 Field to Family $15,000 $0.00 $0.00 Free Mental Health Clinic $5,000 $0.00 $5,000.00 Healthy Kids Clinic $10,000 $0.00 $0.00 Housing and Community Development Commission August 18, 2025 Page 7 of 9 Immigrant Welcome Network of Johnson County $15,000 $0.00 $0.00 Iowa City Hospice $10,000 $0.00 $0.00 Iowa City Sober Living $15,000 $0.00 $0.00 Iowa Legal Aid $15,000 $0.00 $0.00 Iowa Valley Resource Conservation and Development $5,000 $0.00 $0.00 Junior Achievement of Eastern Iowa $15,000 $0.00 $0.00 Kids First Law Center $15,000 $7,500.00 $5,000.00 NAMI JC $15,000 $15,000.00 $0.00 Open Heartland $10,000 $0.00 $0.00 St. Andrew Presbyterian Church $7,000 $0.00 $0.00 Successful Living $15,000 $0.00 $0.00 Visiting Nurse Association $15,000 $0.00 $0.00 Wright House $15,000 $0.00 $0.00 Total $246,500 $30,000.00 $30,000.00 STAFF & COMMISSION UPDATES: Thul thanked everyone for the thoughtful discussion and for reading all of the material. This was a difficult decision with so many applicants. Thul continued that the CDBG round will be next. As noted in the staff memo, they only received one application for the CDBG round which is not ideal, but might be a good introduction to the process for new Commissioners. The next HCDC meeting will be September 15 and the packet for that meeting will go out about a week before. Thul asked if Commissioners will have questions for the applicant to address through a Q&A and the Commissioners did not think so. Vogel noted for the new commissioners this CDBG round will be a great opportunity for them to get familiar with the whole scoring mechanism. The scoring for CDBG make sense and gives you a good idea of how organizations fall. There are strengths and weaknesses. They see a lot of the same solid organizations being awarded funding year after year because they continue to put out projects on time. Kiche asked for an excel version of the scoresheet. Thul confirmed she will send out that version and continued that staff are piloting software for scoring this year to see if it is something the Commission might be interested in down the road. Dennis asked if any of the applicants that they receive for Non -Legacy could also apply for CDBG in the future. She noted that none of them applied for facility improvements. Thul said its possible, staff do outreach during these funding rounds and if they think that there's somebody that might have a project, staff will reach out. Housing and Community Development Commission August 18, 2025 Page 8 of 9 Dennis wondered if it would make sense in the future when staff has the training session, to invite some of the Non -Legacy applicants who might want to learn about this. Thul stated they certainly can, they usually blast the press release out to everybody, but maybe some more targeted outreach to new applicants would be helpful. The biggest thing that usually trips up new applicants with federal funding is financial management and compliance with 2 CFR 200. Rocklin asked about next steps for Non -Legacy funding. Thul noted the next step for the Non -Legacy process is that the Commission's recommendations will be submitted to City Council, and then City Council makes the final budget decisions. She anticipates that will be at one of the September meetings and will follow up with the exact date. Rocklin stated that after the recent Legacy process, he wondered if it would be beneficial for a member of the Commission to talk a bit about the process to inform others about the work they do. Dennis noted that for new people, this process was baptism by fire. Vogel agreed that there were so many applications. Rocklin agreed that this was a lot of work and it is good for Council to know. Dennis continued that everyone read every application and that is good for others to understand. ADJOURNMENT: Dennis moved to adjourn, Rocklin seconded the motion and a vote was taken and the motion passed 5-0.

Please take extra care opening any finks or attachments. -- This message Is from an external sender. Dear Council Members and Mr. Fruin, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to provide some feedback about the Housing and Community Development Meeting held on August 18, 2025. 1 attended the meeting in person to learn more about how Iowa City Government works. While I appreciate the effort everyone put into organizing and participating in the meeting, I noticed that the process for determiningwho would receive the grants did not follow a logical sequence. This lack of structure created confusion and, in several instances, led to unprofessional behaviorthat was quite concerning. Given these observations, I recommend that the city council reconsider the approval of the funds until the commission can establish a more transparent and fact -based approach for dispersingthese grants. It is crucial for the integrity of our work and the trust of our communitythat we handle such processes with the utmost professionalism and clarity. If you are a council member and you did not listen to the recording of this commission, I highly encourage you to do so before the vote this evening. Criteria were discussed at the beginning of the meeting (not awarding to organizations that recently received funds) but that criteria fell through the cracks in the ultimate recommendations. Commissioners Said things like, "This organization can afford their own refrigerators" which completely shut down another commissioner's supportfor a project. The chairperson asked each commissioner their -favorite- grant submitter. A very poor choice of words, I believe. They also didn't understand who was applying —The Free Medical Clinic did not apply but the Mental Health Clinic did. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I urge you to hold our commission accountable for using a rubric in deciding who gets funds and for transparently communicating that information back to you and ultimately to the public. I look forward to improving the approach and ensure a fair and transparent process in the future. Most Sincerely, Elizabeth Anne Tingley-Pigge Iowa City, Iowa 319-594-2257
