IOWA PROPERTY VALUATIONS
In compliance with Section 441.21 of the Code of Iowa, as amended, the State Director of Revenue annually directs all
county auditors to apply prescribed statutory percentages to the assessments of certain categories of real property. The final
values, called Actual Valuation, are then adjusted by the County Auditor. Taxable Valuation subject to tax levy is then
determined by the application of State determined rollback percentages, principally to residential property.
Beginning in 1978, the State required a reduction in Actual Valuation to reduce the impact of inflation on its residents. The
resulting value is defined as the Taxable Valuation. Such rollback percentages may be changed in future years. Certain
historical rollback percentages for residential, multi-residential, agricultural and commercial valuations are as follows:

LEVY LIMITS
A city’s general fund tax levy is limited to $8.10 per $1,000 of taxable value, with provision for an additional $0.27
per $1,000 levy for an emergency fund which can be used for general fund purposes (Code of Iowa, Chapter 384, Division
I). Cities may exceed the $8.10 limitation upon authorization by a special levy election. Further, there are limited special
purpose levies which may be certified outside of the above described levy limits (Code of Iowa, Section 384.12). The
amount of the City general fund levy subject to the $8.10 limitation is $8.10 for Fiscal Year 2019-20. The City does levy
costs for operation and maintenance of publicly owned Transit, tort liability and other insurance, support of the public
library, police and fire retirement, FICA and IPERS and other employee benefits expenses in addition to the $8.10 general
fund limit as authorized by law. In addition, the City has not established an emergency fund levy for Fiscal Year 2019-20.
Debt service levies are not limited.

PROPERTY TAX LEGISLATION
From time to time, legislative proposals are pending in Congress and the Iowa General Assembly that would, if
enacted, alter or amend one or more of the property tax matters described herein. It cannot be predicted whether or in what
forms any of such proposals, either pending or that may be introduced, may be enacted, and there can be no assurance that
such proposals will not apply to valuation, assessment or levy procedures for taxes levied by the City or have an adverse
impact on the future tax collections of the City. Purchasers of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding any
pending or proposed federal or state tax legislation. The opinions expressed by Bond Counsel are based upon existing
legislation as of the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds and Bond Counsel has expressed no opinion as of any date
subsequent thereto or with respect to any pending federal or state tax legislation.
During the 2019 legislative session, the Iowa General Assembly enacted Senate File 634 (the “2019 Act”). This bill
modifies the process for hearing and approval of the total maximum property tax dollars under certain levies in the county
budget. The bill also includes a provision that will require the affirmative vote of 2/3 of the City Council when the maximum
property tax dollars under these levies exceed an amount determined under a prescribed formula.
The 2019 Act does not change the process for hearing and approval of the Debt Service Levy pledged for repayment
of the Bonds. It is too early to evaluate the affect the 2019 Act will have on the overall financial position of the City or its
ability to fund essential services.
During the 2013 legislative session, the Iowa General Assembly enacted Senate File 295 (the “2013 Act”). Among
other things, the Act (i) reduced the maximum annual taxable value growth percent, due to revaluation of existing residential
and agricultural property to 3%, (ii) assigned a “rollback” (the percentage of a property’s value that is subject to tax) to
commercial, industrial and railroad property of 90%, (iii) created a new property tax classification for multi-residential
properties (apartments, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and certain other rental property) and assigned a declining
rollback percentage to such properties for each year until the residential rollback percentage is reached in the 2022
assessment year, after which the rollback percentage for such properties will be equal to the residential rollback percentage
each assessment year, and (iv) exempted a specified portion of the assessed value of telecommunication properties.
City of Iowa City, Johnson County, Iowa
Fiscal Year 2020 Annual Financial and Operating Disclosure
Page | 9
The Act includes a standing appropriation to replace some of the tax revenues lost by local governments, including
tax increment districts, resulting from the new rollback for commercial and industrial property. Beginning in fiscal year
2018 the standing appropriation cannot exceed the actual 2017 appropriation amount. The appropriation does not replace
losses to local governments resulting from the Act’s provisions that reduce the annual revaluation growth limit for residential
and agricultural properties to 3%, the gradual transition for multi-residential properties from the residential rollback
percentage (currently 53% of market value), or the reduction in the percentage of telecommunications property that is subject
to taxation.
Given the wide scope of the statutory changes, and the State’s discretion in establishing the annual replacement
amount that is appropriated each year commencing in fiscal 2018, the impact of the 2013 Act on the City’s future property
tax collections is uncertain and the City has not attempted to quantify the financial impact of the 2013 Act’s provisions on
the City’s future operations.
Notwithstanding any decrease in property tax revenues that may result from the 2013 Act, Iowa Code section 76.2
provides that when an Iowa political subdivision issues bonds, "[t]he governing authority of these political subdivisions
before issuing bonds shall, by resolution, provide for the assessment of an annual levy upon all the taxable property in the
political subdivision sufficient to pay the interest and principal of the bonds within a period named not exceeding twenty
years. A certified copy of this resolution shall be filed with the county auditor or the auditors of the counties in which the
political subdivision is located; and the filing shall make it a duty of the auditors to enter annually this levy for collection
from the taxable property within the boundaries of the political subdivision until funds are realized to pay the bonds in full."
From time to time, other legislative proposals may be considered by the Iowa General Assembly that would, if
enacted, alter or amend one or more of the property tax matters described in this Final Official Statement. It cannot be
predicted whether or in what forms any of such proposals may be enacted, and there can be no assurance that such proposals
will not apply to valuation, assessment or levy procedures for the levy of taxes by the City.

WATER SYSTEM
The Water Division is comprised of five parts: Administration, Treatment Plant, Customer Service, Distribution, and Public
Information/Education. There are a total of 31.75 (FTE) employees who work in the Water Division. This division serves
about 78,440 people and has over 28,794 customer water accounts. The average daily use for fiscal year 2020 was
approximately 5.33 million gallons per day (MGD). A peak flow of over 8.6 MGD was experienced during the summer of
2012.
Water Sources: The primary source of water for the City is the alluvial aquifer collector wells along the Iowa River. Four
collector wells can provide approximately 10.5 MGD. Additional sources include one Jordan aquifer wells which can
provide 1.0 MGD; three Silurian aquifer wells which can provide 1.0 MGD; a sand pit that can provide 1.0 MGD; a river
intake that can provide 3.0 MGD; for a total of approximately 16.7 MGD maximum capacity.
Water Treatment Processes: The facilities include one treatment plant (constructed in 2003) located at 80 Stephen Atkins
Drive. The plant is a surface water plant design that includes aeration, lime softening
(coagulation/flocculation/sedimentation), and granular activated carbon filtration processes with fluoridation and free
chlorination. The Grade IV Water Treatment Facility houses an operations team that performs over 230 water quality tests
per day in-house and collects regulatory samples for testing at the University Hygienic Laboratory. This testing ensures
that Iowa City’s drinking water meets all IDNR and EPA Safe Drinking Water Act Standards.
Distribution System: The water flows through approximately 280 miles of water mains and includes over 28,000 service
connections. The distribution piping consists of cast iron, ductile iron and plastic main that ranges in size from 2” to 30”.
The treatment plant site has effective water storage capacity of 1.75 million gallons of water; in addition there are four
remote ground storage reservoirs (with pumping stations) that add up to remote effective storage capacity of 6.0 million
gallons of water. The water system also provides for fire protection with approximately 3,706 public and private hydrants
located throughout the community.
Billing and Collections: Customers are billed monthly on a combined utility statement which includes charges for sewer,
water, solid waste, and curbside recycling. Under present City policy and City ordinances, utility bills are due when received
but contain a delinquency date which provides 15 days for payment. If payment is not made in full within 22 days, a notice
is mailed which allows 25 calendar days before service is disconnected. The City’s bad debt write-offs have been less than
0.2% of gross revenues for the past three years.

PARKING SYSTEM
The Parking System currently consists of approximately 5,105 parking spaces located at various parking facilities in the
City. The Parking Division of the Transportation Services Department oversees the operation of parking garages, parking
lots, and on-street (metered) parking. Parking Division enforces parking regulation in the central business district, while
the Police Department enforces parking regulations in residential areas. Recognizing that there is a high demand for parking
in downtown Iowa City, Parking Services promotes turnover of on-street metered parking spaces in the core of the
downtown. Customers with longer-term needs are encouraged to use the garages or on streets in outlying areas. There are
a total of 21.38 (FTE) employees who work in the Parking Division.
Parking System Utilization, Demand and Other Considerations: The City tracks Parking System utilization by the hour in
each of the cashiered facilities. During peak hours, the occupancy rate regularly runs between 85% to 100% depending on
the time of year and the time of day. Peak hours for the Parking System are 10:00 am through 3:00 pm with high occupancy
rates regularly maintained through 5:30 pm daily.
In addition to hourly parking, the Parking System offers monthly permit parking. The Parking System currently has 1,835
permit holders. The largest customer for the monthly permit parking is the University of Iowa with 615 permits. There
are currently over 1,000 people on the Parking System's waiting lists for monthly permit parking.
In addition to monthly and permit parking, the Parking System has parking space contracts with the Graduate Hotel in the
amount of $8,500.00 per month and with the Hotel Vetro in the amount of $2,125.00 per month.
The City regularly evaluates parking demand. As development has continued to move south of Burlington Street and the
central business district, the need for additional spaces in this area has increased. The underlying economic growth and
employment base of the City continues to contribute to increased demand.
Parking System Rates and Charges: Rates for the Parking System are set by the City Council. Parking System rates are
reviewed annually. The rates vary by facility and the hourly and monthly rates and charges as approved by the City Council
are listed below by facility. These rates include the most recent hourly rate adjustments that were approved by the City
Council on June 4, 2013 and became effective July 1, 2013 and the most recent monthly permit rate adjustments that were
approved by the City Council became effective July 1, 2017.
Parking Facilities: The Parking System consists of 2 cashiered garages and 3 unattended garages, as well as, various parking
lots and on-street metered parking in the Central Business District. T h e City completes regular visual inspections of the
parking garages to evaluate their current appearance and general condition. The garages are visually inspected for the
condition of the main structural elements (columns, girders, beams), parking decks, expansion and control joints, and their
coating systems. Based on the most recent inspections, all of the Parking System's facilities are in excellent condition. All
garages will continue to receive routine inspections and maintenance. A description of each parking facility, their locations,
access, the number of spaces, monthly permits, and current rates are as follows:

Urban Renewal Area: CITY – UNIVERSITY PROJECT I
The City, acting under the authority of Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa, has established an urban renewal area designated
as “City - University Project I Urban Renewal Area” (the “Urban Renewal Area”) designed to implement their
comprehensive plan.
Description of CITY – UNIVERSITY PROJECT I Urban Renewal Plan/Area
On October 2, 1969, the Iowa City Council adopted Resolution No. 2157 approving the City - University Project I Urban
Renewal Plan (Project No. IA R-14) which plan has been modified and amended from time to time (said plan, as amended,
is hereinafter referred to as the “Urban Renewal Plan” or “Plan”).
The Urban Renewal Area is located in the heart of City’s downtown. The northern edge of the original area consists of part
of Washington Street with the western edge consisting of the eastern bank of the Iowa River. The southern edge consisted
of a part of Court Street to the eastern edge which ran to Linn Street. In 2001, the original urban renewal area was expanded
north to Iowa Ave, south to Prentiss Street and east to Gilbert Street. In 2012, the amended urban renewal area was extended
south of the existing boundaries. In 2016, the amended urban renewal area was expanded to include a one block area
bounded by Iowa Avenue on the north, Van Buren Street on the East, Washington Street on the South and Gilbert Street on
the West. The original Urban Renewal Area is classified as a blighted area and does not have a sunset or expiration date.
The 2001 amended urban renewal area has, at a minimum, a twenty year life and will expire after fiscal year 2023-24. The
2012 amended urban renewal area is classified as a blighted area and does not have a sunset or expiration date. The 2016
amended urban renewal area will expire, at a minimum, twenty years from the calendar year following the calendar year in
which the City first certifies debt for the amended area.
The objectives of the Plan called for the City to undertake a program for the clearance and reconstruction or rehabilitation
to enhance and promote the economic development within the Urban Renewal Area. Through the implementation of the
Plan, the City’s overall goal is to develop and redevelop the Urban Renewal Area; to stimulate through public action and
commitments, private investment which creates employment and increases to the tax base within the City.
In general, tax increment revenues from an Urban Renewal Area are determined annually by multiplying the aggregate of
all local taxes, excluding the portion of the overall tax rate associated with debt service, physical plant and equipment and
the instructional support program levies applicable to the taxable valuation of all property within the Urban Renewal Area,
by the aggregate difference (“Tax Increment Valuation Available”) between the current taxable valuation and the original
taxable valuation upon creation of the Urban Renewal Area. In general, the original taxable valuation reflects the valuation
upon creation of the Urban Renewal Area (the “Frozen Base Valuation”). Johnson County (the “County”) collects the real
estate taxes and distributes the Tax Increment Revenues to the City to use for repayment of the urban renewal revenue
bonds. Tax Increment Revenues are generally distributed by the County to the City in the months of October and April of
each calendar year.

TAX INCREMENT TAX RATES
(1) Any urban renewal area created after April 24, 2012, will not be eligible to receive the benefits of the
local school district's instruction support levy (ISPL) tax revenues, unless the ISPL is necessary to pay principal
and interest on the urban renewal debt and the school passes a special resolution approving such use of the
revenues. Urban renewal debt incurred on or before April 24, 2012, may receive the benefit of ISPL tax
revenues for fiscal year 2013-14 and following only if the ISPL is necessary to pay principal and interest on the
urban renewal area debt and the city certifies to the school district by July 1 of each fiscal year, beginning
July 1, 2013. The school district must then pay those amounts during that fiscal year (Nov. 1 and May 1) back to
the City's urban renewal fund.
(2) In fiscal year 2012-13, the City created a Self Supporting Municipal Improvement District (SSMID) within a
portion of the Urban Renewal Area. The tax levy for the SSMID increases the tax increment rate but is only
applied to certain properties when the County is apportioning the tax increment revenue request.
