RE: Towncrest Redevelopment Project
Dear Jeff,
MDK Development, L.L.C., whose main principals are Mike Hodge, Dave Hodge, and Kevin Digmann, are requesting an
extension of the Agreement for Private Redevelopment with the City of Iowa City to redevelop 1020 Williams St. (ACT
Building) and 2611 Muscatine Ave. (Sinclair gas station). The Agreement was previously approved June 19'h, 2012. Due
to site issues, our original design of one 14,850 square foot building would not meet city drainage standards. We have
subsequently resigned the project into two separate buildings which total approximately 14,500 square feet. Our plan is
to still demolish both existing buildings on the site. The contractor for the project will be Hodge Construction and
Architect will be Neumann Monson. The building will be completed as.three commercial condominiums and the spaces
may be sold to end users. The total project cost is estimated at approximately $5,200,000. Since this project is a
redevelopment of two properties into a green field, we are seeking City assistance of $950,000 for pre - development
expenses and to reduce the acquisition and demolition cost to a comparable commercial lot in the Iowa City area. The
current assessed value of existing sites combined is $876,950. Enclosed you will find updated:
1. Building Elevation
2. Site Plan
3. Summary of Land cost and Comparable other sites
4. Cost estimate for the Project
5. Preliminary Construction Schedule
6. Commitment Letter from Hills Bank
This project would be a great start to the City's overall plan for redevelopment of the Towncrest area. If approved, we
would begin construction this spring with occupancy by the end of 2013. If you have any questions please call me at
631 -0548 or email kdiprnann 0aLho9,cqfl2.
Sincerely,

After reviewing financial information and the proposed plans for construction in the Towncrest area of
Iowa City, Hills Bank is pleased to provide a commitment of financing to Hodge Construction Company
and or related entities for construction purposes. Loans to the company would not exceed 80% of the
appraised value of the facilities upon completion. A construction loan will be secured by a first
mortgage on the property and will also require personal guarantees. At the present time, the loan
would bear an interest rate of 4% per annum for one year from closing. The commitment of this rate
will be good for 45 days from the date of this letter.
Upon completion of the project, it is anticipated that any part of the facility that is retained by the
company will then be amortized over a period not to exceed 25 years. The interest rate for permanent
financing will be determined at the time of extension.
If you have any questions or if there is any way that I can be of additional assistance to you, please feel
free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Tim N. Smith

MEMORANDUM -==
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Jeff Davidson, Director Planning and Community Development
Wendy Ford, Economic Development Coordinator
Date: January 18, 2013
Re: Agenda item: Resolution authorizing Economic Development Opportunity
funding for 2013 Mission Creek Festival
Introduction:
Iowa City's Mission Creek Festival (MCF) is requesting $5,000 in funding assistance
from the City's Economic Development Opportunity funds. The five day 2013 Festival,
April 2 -7, will be the 7th annual Mission Creek Festival and will continue a tradition of
featuring fine music, literary and culinary culture.
It is an event that provides a venue for Iowa artists to be exposed to national attention
and for nationally recognized artists to gain an Iowa audience. The resulting coverage
increases Iowa's presence in the national scene and Iowa City as the cultural hotbed of
the upper Midwest. Every year more tickets are sold, more events are staged and more
of the community is involved.
History /Background:
In 2012, the event was staged in 23 Iowa City venues and drew 10,400 people (a 13%
increase over the year prior). It featured 228 musicians, 104 of whom were Iowa - based;
70 writers, 48 of whom were Iowa - based, and 12 Iowa chefs.
There is broad support from businesses and our non - profit community, local radio
stations, media and several facets of the University of Iowa. Notably, local restaurants
are very strong contributors, an indicator that Mission Creek is good for their bottom
lines. With such broad community support, a growing program and increasing notoriety
the festival's influence reaches far beyond the Creative Corridor.
Today's request for Economic Development Opportunity funds, if approved, would come
from FY13 and be used for the spring 2013 festival. It should be noted that MCF has
traditionally applied only for Community Event and Programming Funds from which they
have been funded as follows:
FY10
FY11
FY12
FY13
FY14
$5,000
$3,362
$0
$4,000
$4,000
(proposed in FY14
budget)
Page 2
Discussion of Solution:
This request was presented to the City Council Economic Development Committee at
their meeting on Dec. 18, 2012. The committee also understood that MCF had received
funding through the Community Event and Programming budget line for FY13. The EDC
voted 3 -0 in favor of recommending this request proceed to Council for approval.
Recommendation:
Supporting the development of downtown and near downtown areas is a council priority
in the Strategic Plan. Staff recommends approval of this request because of the growth
of the event and associated media recognition and economic benefit to the downtown
the Mission Creek Festival Brings to area hotels, motels and restaurants.
Fiscal Impact: $5,000 in Economic Development Opportunity funding.

Re: Plans, specifications, form of contract, and estimate of cost for the construction of
City Park Shelter 6 Replacement Project.
Introduction: Public hearing and approval of plans and specifications for the City Park
Shelter Six Replacement Project.
History /Background: The existing City Park shelter six is over 25- years -old and is in
need of replacement. Shelter six is the most heavily used in City Park. This shelter
needs to be replaced to better serve the community.
Discussion of Solution: The Parks and Recreation Department recommends
replacement of shelter six in City Park. To renovate the existing shelter would require
extensive repairs and would necessitate closing of the shelter during said repairs for the
2013 summer season. The existing shelter will remain in place and be available for use
during construction of the new shelter.
Financial Impact: Replacement of shelter six in City Park will provide a positive impact
for the park system by offering a better facility for use by the community. Rental fees for
this shelter use will cover the majority of the maintenance costs to maintain the shelter.
Recommendation: Approve the plans, specifications and contract as outlined.

Re: Public Hearing on the Camp Cardinal Urban Renewal Area
Introduction:
On February 5, 2013, the City Council passed a resolution of necessity to establish the Camp
Cardinal Urban Renewal Area. On March 5, 2013, the City Council will hold a public hearing on
the Camp Cardinal Urban Renewal Plan. The adoption of an urban renewal plan is a
prerequisite to establishing a tax increment financing (TIF) district.
History/background:
The resolution of necessity triggers two required meetings — one with the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the other with affected taxing entities.
The Planning and Zoning Commission met on February 21 and reviewed the Camp Cardinal
Urban Renewal Plan for its conformity with the comprehensive plan. The Commission voted 6 -0
(Thomas absent) to forward their written recommendation to City Council (following).
Secondly, staff invited representatives to a taxing consultation meeting at 11:30 a.m. on
February 21 regarding the affected taxing entities of the County and the Iowa City Community
School District. Letters of invitation, an official meeting notice and a copy of the Camp Cardinal
Urban Renewal plan were mailed to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors and to the Iowa
City Community School District. The formal consultation is to provide representatives from the
a cted taxing entities the opportunity to ask questions and provide a means for feedback about
than renewal plan, specifically, the use of TIF, to which the City is required to respond
before the public hearing. No representatives attended.
Solution:
Having completed the required steps to establish an urban renewal area, the proposed Camp
Cardinal Urban Renewal Plan may now be officially considered by City Council. While
establishing an urban renewal area is a preliminary step to providing tax increment financing for
a project within the area, there are no pending projects at this time. If and when a TIF project is
proposed, a) the plan must first be amended to include it, and b) a development agreement
would be considered by the City Council Economic Development Committee and the City
Council before any project would be considered for tax increment financing.
Recommendation:
It is staff's recommendation to adopt the proposed Camp Cardinal Urban Renewal Plan. With
the urban renewal area designation, the developers may be able to develop the land sooner
than they would otherwise, which would result in an increase in the City's tax base. Additionally,
development will be of the type that will serve companies with significant employment
opportunities for residents within and around Iowa City.

From: Ann Freerks, Chair, Planning and Zoning Commission
Re: Planning and Zoning Commission Review of the Camp Cardinal Urban
Renewal Plan
At its regular meeting, February 21, 2013, the Planning and Zoning Commission
reviewed the Camp Cardinal Urban Renewal Plan for its conformity with the Iowa City
Comprehensive Plan.
By a vote of 6 -0 (Thomas absent) the Planning and Zoning Commission found that the
Camp Cardinal Urban Renewal Plan conforms to the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan.
A detailed discussion of the Commission's review is contained in the draft meeting
minutes, the relevant portion of which follows this memo.
Preliminary excerpt from
Planning & Zoning Meeting Thursday, February 21, 2013
Camp Cardinal Urban Renewal Plan
Discussion of Proposed Camp Cardinal Urban Renewal Plan for approximately 7 acres
of property located north of Melrose Ave between Camp Cardinal Road and Highway
218.
Wendy Ford, Economic Development Coordinator for the City, showed the Commission
where the subject property is located. She said to establish an Urban Renewal Area the
City Council must first pass a resolution of necessity, which is followed by Planning and
Zoning reviewing and making a recommendation to Council on whether the plan
conforms to the Comprehensive Plan. She said they are also required to hold a
consultation with the other taxing entities. She said this is required because an urban
renewal plan enables a city to institute a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district. She
explained that there is not a project yet that would be requesting a TIF.
Ford said the economic well -being goals outlined in the Comprehensive Plan that are
particularly relevant are "to diversify and increase our property tax base," and because
this area is zoned as Office Research Park (ORP), it would be especially well- suited for
an office building, the type of which we seem to need in this community and one which
could potentially be a thirty to fifty thousand square foot office building and hold several
hundred employees. She pointed out that Iowa City is competing with its neighbors as
well as with the region in general for businesses that are always looking for the best deal
they can get. Having this type of office development area in this location would allow
Iowa City to be more competitive. She said employment opportunities could increase
also. She a number of employers have very specific requirements for where they can be
located and the most frequently requested areas are near Highway 218 and the
interstates because much of the workforce commutes in from all directions. She said in
the Comprehensive Plan it states that "we want to maintain and have areas that are
suitable for future industrial and commercial development." She said this area is part of
the Northwest Planning District, from which she has quoted in the report provided to the
Commission in the paragraph that talks about this area in the Plan and how it is
appropriate for this type of development.
Ford said the objectives of the Camp Cardinal Urban Renewal Area are primarily to
expand the tax base in the community, to provide opportunities for employment growth
in the area and to be able to provide financial incentives if we are presented with a
project that City Council would then deem to amend into the Plan in the future. She
reiterated that at this point there are no projects slated for the area, and if and when
there are, they would be presented for Council to consider and the Plan would have to
be amended to include the project, its time frame and the amount of assistance the
project would merit.
Greenwood Hektoen said those Plan amendments for urban renewal area projects don't
come back to Planning and Zoning but go directly to Council. Ford added there
opportunity for public involvement and input on those projects, as well.
Ford says in continuing the process, after Council has adopted the resolution of
Preliminary excerpt, p.1
necessity and the taxing consultation, Planning and Zoning reviews and recommends a
public hearing, scheduled for March 5`h unless the Commission decides they want more
time to consider the Plan. She said the owner of this parcel is Southgate Development,
and they initiated the establishment of an urban renewal area in order to improve the
marketability of the lot and thus compete for business.
Eastham asked if the Clear Creek Master Plan is part of the Comprehensive Plan. Miklo
said it was adopted by resolution by the Council and includes a land use plan to guide
development of the area. He said it also has the same policies as the Northwest District
Plan. He said it may not officially be part of the Comprehensive Plan, but they treat it as
such. Eastham said he noticed that it's not on the City's website in any of the
components that make up the Comprehensive Plan. He asked if they had completed a
plan for the Northwest Planning District. Miklo said there are policies in the larger plan
itself but they have not completed a detailed district plan because of its low priority given
that the bulk of the district is owned by the university or covered in the Clear Creek
Master Plan. Eastham asked for clarification about the zoning on the subject parcel.
Miklo said it is shown in the Comprehensive Plan as Office Research Park. He said the
Clear Creek Master Plan is treated as serving as the Comprehensive Plan for this area
because it was recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and
adopted by Council resolution as guidance for this area. He said it shows an area of
commercial zoning along the Interstate and notes that the type of suitable commercial
would be office to provide a buffer from Highway 218 to what is hoped to be a residential
neighborhood in the future.
Glenn Siders of Southgate Development Services said the area they are asking to be
designated as Urban Renewal does have all infrastructure in place and is ready to build.
Freerks asked Ford who showed up at the taxing consultation meeting earlier in the day.
Ford responded that no one had. She said letters of invitation and the meeting notice
were sent to Steve Murley of the school district and Andy Johnson.of the county, and
this is the second time a taxing consultation meeting has been attended by no
representatives of the taxing entities.
Miklo said perhaps they had no concerns because the City uses TIF so judiciously.
Freerks asked for a recap on how quickly TIFs are paid back in our community. Ford
said Iowa City's use of TIF per capita is thousands of dollars less than some of its
neighbors. She said the City takes pride in ensuring that the projects it assists with TIF
pay that back and more in the property taxes they generate for the City. She said the
shining example is the Plaza Towers project from a few years ago that requested a
construction loan up front for about six million dollars. Ford said the building was
constructed, and the City paid off the six million plus another five million in interest about
twelve years earlier than the amortization schedule suggested simply because the
project was so successful and the taxes coming in were higher than estimated. She said
the City has not taken one extra dollar above the amount needed for the projects
themselves.
Eastham asked if Plaza Towers is assessed by value or income. Ford said the
assessors use a combination of value and income and comparable sales or sales of
units that have happened within the building. Eastham said Ford had categorized the
project as very successful so property taxes were paid more quickly than the original
schedule, so what was the basis for the valuation that made advanced payment
Preliminary excerpt, p.2
possible. Ford suggested the preliminary estimates of the value of the building were low
and when the building was finished and units began to sell for more than expected,
assessments went up, which contributed to a greater increment than expected and
allowed the City to pay off the bond sooner. Eastham asked again how the Assessor
values the building. Ford replied that she could check with Assessor on his exact method
for valuing Plaza Towers.
Weitzel moved that the Commission forward a written recommendation to City
Council stating that the Camp Cardinal Urban Renewal Plan conforms to the Iowa
City Comprehensive Plan, the general plan for the city as a whole.
Swygard seconded.
Eastham said the Comprehensive Plan could be interpreted as being in support of
establishing an Urban Renewal Area. He said you could also say that the
Comprehensive Plan really has not matured to the point where it can support such an
area because there's no designation in this area of land uses right now. Miklo said there
is a land use map on the Comprehensive Plan that shows this as Office Research Park.
Eastham said he understands that, but they haven't done a more detailed district plan.
He said he thinks it's not untoward to wonder whether this is a bit premature.
Freerks said she wouldn't think we would need a Comprehensive Plan for each area
before we would allow something to happen there, so for her, that wouldn't be a
deterrent. She said she thinks there was a lot of thought and work put into the Camp
Cardinal Master Plan and that she thinks it is supported by the Comprehensive Plan
under economic development. She said she's not always a huge TIF fan, but she does
think it has its place and Iowa City is careful in how it uses TIF, and she would support
this particular instance.
A vote was taken and the motion carried 6 -0.

Section 1- Introduction
This Urban Renewal Plan ( "Plan") for the Camp Cardinal Urban Renewal Area ( "Urban
Renewal Area" or "Area") has been developed to help local officials promote economic
development within Iowa City, Iowa. The primary goal of the plan is to stimulate, through. public
involvement and commitment, private investment in new office and research park development
in the Urban Renewal Area.
The goals outlined in this Urban Renewal Plan include the following, which include goals
detailed in the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan -1997, as amended:
• Diversify and increase the propprty tax base by (1) encouraging the retention and expansion
of existing industry and (2) attracting industries that have growth potential and are
compatible with existing businesses;
• Increase employment o opportunities consistent with the available labor force;
-u-
pp
■ Provide and protect areas suitable for future office development;
• Improve the economic health of the community through the efficient use of resources ; =-dnd
• Consider financial incentives and programs to facilitate achieving the above gaffs: - -
To help the City of Iowa City ( "City ") achieve these goals, the Iowa City Compfe 6ns6ibio Plan °-
states that the City may provide financial incentives as a catalyst for private enterprise:', Other . ✓
development sites in the metro area, which already cater to office uses, make tax ine-fement
financing available to qualifying businesses. The Comprehensive Plan, as amended, identifies
the Urban Renewal Area as suitable for development of office research park uses. The extension
of municipal sanitary sewer lines and expansion of arterial streets, including the completion of
Camp Cardinal Boulevard and the future extension of Highway 965 between Highway 6 in
Coralville and Melrose Avenue, facilitates growth in office development in the Area. The Urban
Renewal Area's location along U.S. Highway 218 makes it a highly visible development site and
provides the opportunity for the Area to serve as an attractive western gateway to Iowa City.
The City has concluded it is in the interest of its citizens to encourage the development of land
zoned for office research park use in order to provide competitive development sites for office
and research park uses. The City intends to make available the use of tax increment financing as
a means to finance the construction of some of the necessary public infrastructure improvements
within Camp Cardinal Urban Renewal Area. In addition, the City may make available the use of
tax increment financing to provide direct grants, loans, rebates or other incentives for qualifying
commercial or residential developments that help achieve the goals and objectives set forth
herein.
To achieve the primary objectives of this Plan, the City of Iowa City shall undertake the urban
renewal activities as specified in this Urban Renewal Plan, pursuant to the powers granted to it
under Chapters 15A and 403 of the 2011 Code of Iowa, as amended.
Section 2- Description of Urban Renewal Area

development district that is appropriate for office and research park development, which is
consistent with the current Iowa City Comprehensive Plan.
Section 4- Base Value

December 1, 2013, the taxable valuation within the Area as of January 1, 2012 will be
considered the "base valuation." If the debt is not certified until a later date, the "base value"
will be the assessed value of the taxable property in the Urban Renewal Area as of January 1 of
the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the City first certifies the amount of any
debt.
Section 5- Urban Renewal Plan Objectives

Renewal Plan, the City may determine to issue general obligation bonds, tax

3
policy, which may be amended from time to time, as necessary in Council's discretion, and on
additional performance criteria the Council finds appropriate on a case by case basis.

financial incentives, including but not limited to provisions of land, grants, loans or other
incentives to qualified businesses or private developers interested in locating businesses in the
Area. The estimated costs of these projects are approximately $2,000,000 45,000,000. Any
project considered would be in accordance with the adopted Economic Development Policies.
Section 8- Conformance with Land Use Policy and Zoning Ordinance
Comprehensive Plan
�a
This Urban Renewal Area is located within the Northwest District of the City, as -stated7.ih the
Iowa City Comprehensive Plan, which designates this Area as appropriate for o#iiae research'
park (ORP) uses particularly in planned developments which allow flexibility in ihirj laceent
and clustering of buildings, the modifications of street standards, and the use of opet ace: -This
Plan is consistent therewith. _ { 4 1 u
Current and Proposed Zoning and Land Uses
The Urban Renewal Area is currently undeveloped and zoned interim development- office
research park (ID-ORP), as defined by the Iowa City Zoning Code. The purpose of the interim
development zone (ID) is to provide for areas of managed growth in which agricultural and other
nonurban uses of land may continue until such time as the city is able to provide city services
and urban development can occur. The interim development zone is the default zoning district to
which all undeveloped areas should be classified until city services are provided. Upon provision
of city services, the city or the property owner may initiate rezoning to zones consistent with the
comprehensive plan, as amended. The purpose of the office and research park zone (ORP) is to
provide areas for the development of large office and research firms and other complementary
uses. The requirements of this zone protect uses in the zone from adverse impact of uses on
adjacent land and protect adjacent more restrictive uses.
The proposed land uses include general office and research office uses. When the Area is
developed, it will need to be rezoned to ORP, thus removing the interim development
- desimation, -to- reflect the- change -in- the -use from- non - urban- undeveloped land-to- office-research-
park development. Any fiuther rezoning requests must comply with the Comprehensive Plan, as
it may be amended from time to time.
Section 9- Relocation
As the Area is currently undeveloped, the City does not expect there to be any relocation
required of residents or businesses as part of the proposed urban renewal projects; however, if
any relocation is necessary, the City will follow all applicable relocation requirements.
M
Section 10- Financial Data
1. Constitutional Debt Limit: $ 222,654,937
2. Current general obligation debt: $ 80,575,000
3. Proposed amount of indebtedness to be incurred: Although a specific amount of tax
increment debt to be incurred (including direct grants, loans, advances, indebtedness, or
bonds) for projects over time has not yet been determined, it is anticipated that the cost of
the Proposed Urban Renewal Activities and Proposed Projects identified in Section 6 and
7 above will be between $2 -5 million. In no event will debt be incurred that would
exceed the City's debt capacity. It is further expected that loans, advances, indebtedness
or bonds to be incurred for the Proposed Projects or subsequent projects, including
interest on the same, will be financed in whole or in part with tax increment revenues
from the Urban Renewal Area. The City Council will consider each request for financial
assistance or a project proposal on a case -by -case basis to determine if it is in the City's
best interest to participate.
Section 11- Urban Renewal Plan Amendments
This Urban Renewal Plan may be amended from time to time for a number of reasons, including,
but not limited to changes in the boundary, to add or change land use controls or regulations, to
modify goals or types of renewal activities, or to amend property acquisition and disposition
provisions.
If the City of Iowa City desires to amend this -Urban Renewal Plan, it may do so in conformance
with applicable state and local laws.
Section 12 - Property Acquisition/Disposition
The City may provide incentives for land acquisition in the Area. The City will foflow applicable
procedures for the acquisition and disposition of property. fir.,.
Section 13 - Effective Period' ="

fifteen (15) years from the calendar year following the calendar year in which the City first
certifies to the County Auditor the amount of any grants, loans, advances, indebtedness or bonds

property. The use of tax increment financing incentives shall be limited as deemed appropriate

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 22, 2013
TO: Tom Markus, City Manager
FROM: Claire Richmond, Community Development Intern
RE: March 51h City Council meeting agenda item: sale of UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership
house
Introduction
On March 5th, City Council will hold a public hearing and vote on a resolution authorizing the conveyance
of 301 Douglass St. as part of the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership Program. This will be the second
UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership home sold in Phase 2 of the program. Twenty -five homes were
sold in Phase 1 and two additional homes are currently under renovation in Phase 2.
History /Background
The City purchased four properties for Phase 2 of the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership Program, all
located in designated neighborhoods surrounding the University of Iowa and downtown.
Under the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership, the City proposes to sell 301 Douglass St. for $65,000
plus carrying costs of $5,718. "Carrying costs" are all the costs incurred by the City to acquire, maintain
and sell the home, including abstracting and recording fees, interest on the loan to purchase the home,
mowing and snow removal, utilities, real estate taxes, and any costs in excess of $40,000 in repair and
rehabilitation.
City funds of $43,529 were used to rehabilitate and sell this property as a single - family owner occupied
home to an income - eligible buyer. The cost of renovations is not included in the sale price and forgiven
once the homeowner has lived there for seven years. The home must also be owner - occupied for 20
years.
Built in 1956, this home has over 850 square feet of finished living space, two bedrooms and one
bathroom. The buyer is a University of Iowa employee and will be receiving down payment assistance
provided by the University in the amount of $5,000.
Statement of Fiscal Impact
The assessed value of 301 Douglass St. at the time of purchase was $77,140 and the sale price is
approximately $70,718. There will be no impact on the General Fund for ongoing operating expenses.
Recommendation
The home was a rental since 1994. The property owner gutted the interior, but never finished
renovations, so it was vacant and uninhabitable at the time of purchase. After the renovation it has
become an asset to the neighborhood and community. Staff recommends approval of the resolution to
authorize the conveyance of 301 Douglass St. as part of the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership
program.

Re: Community Events and Programming FY14 Funding
Introduction
The City of Iowa City's Community Events and Programming budget has financially supported
groups that have requested funding for various community events. This General Fund
allocation is open to the public every year and often receives funding requests from 10 -20
applicants per year. The application period has varied, but typically begins in early November
and concludes in early to mid - December. Organizations typically receive their grants starting in
the new fiscal year.
History /Background
Community Events and Programming funding (CEP) has been utilized to support community
events in Iowa City. Prior to 2012, applicants would make a financial request to the City Council
for the future fiscal year. The requests would be deliberated as part of the budget review and
then passed as a separate resolution shortly thereafter.
In 2012, City staff developed an internal process for accepting and reviewing applications with
the intention of providing the Council with a recommended budget for Community Events and
Program funding. City staff developed an internal committee consisting of the following staff
members:
Adam Bentley, Administrative Assistant to the City Manager
Marian Karr, City Clerk
Marcia Bollinger, Neighborhood Services Coordinator
Cyndi Ambrose, Finance Department Administrative Secretary
Simon Andrew, Budget Analyst
The committee convened in December of 2012, after the deadline for submission had passed.
Utilizing the goals of the strategic plan and previous funding history, the committee developed a
scoring tool to assist individual committee members with their decision making process. On
January 11th and January 18th, the committee conducted interviews of the applicants and had an
opportunity to discuss with each applicant their request.
On January 28th, the committee met and deliberated on each request. The committee
developed a proposed budget which is what is being recommended for approval. Noticeable
exclusions from this year's budget include funding for Summer of the Arts and funding for
Fireworks. While these events will continue to be funded through the General Fund, they have
been budgeted under City Sponsored Events, rather than Community Event Funding.
Discussion of Solutions
The total amount of funding available for FY14 is $106,200. This represents the same level of
funding as FY13, which was a 1.8% decrease from FY12. Of the $106,200, Summer of the Arts
funding was removed and remained the same at $67,000. Further, monies allocated for the 4th
February 28, 2013
Page 2
of July Fireworks was removed and remained at $23,000. With these dollars removed from the
$106,200, the remaining $16,200 was available to groups or applicants.
The committee met on January 28th, 2013 to discuss each application submitted and developed
a proposed budget for FY14. The committee relied heavily on previous funding history from the
FY13 contributions and utilized a scoring tool based on the strategic plan goals. The following
is the proposed budget for FY14. In some instances, the committee earmarked funding for
dollars requested. The proposed budget utilizes 93% of the funds available and saves roughly
7% ($1,025) to be placed in reserve. The reserve funding will be utilized throughout the year as
smaller requests come in for assistance.

^Denotes funding received from ED Committee for FYI
The proposed budget keeps funding levels the same for three previously funded groups, funds
four new organizations, and increases the funding of one previously funded group.
The committee thanks and appreciates the applicants for submitting their requests and
attending the interviews. While the committee believes all of the applicants programs and
events were beneficial to the community and likely supported community goals, the committee
weighed the breadth and scope of each project and ultimately determined, in the committee's
opinion, which groups benefited the taxpayers to the highest degree possible.
Recommendation
The committee recommends approval of the proposed budget with funding to be distributed
after the beginning of the FY14 fiscal year.

CITY OF IOWA CITY

This is to notify you that the City Council will be considering a resolution on March 5,
2013 that will assess against your property the cost that the City has incurred to do one
of the following: unpaid mowing, clean -up of property, snow removal, sidewalk repair,
or stop box repair charges. Enclosed for your information is a copy of the bill. If the
City Council approves the assessment against your property, the amount will be
collected by the Johnson County Treasurer in the same manner as a property tax.
If you pay the amount due in full before the City Council meeting, the resolution will not
include an assessment against your property. You can make the payment by mailing
or coming in person to the City Clerks office, 410 East Washington Street,
between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. If property is assessed and the
amount is not paid within the specified 30 days, interest will accrue at a rate set by the
City Council.
If you have any questions about the resolution, please contact my office at 356 -5043.
Sincerely,
Marian K. Karr
City Clerk
