[1. A public hearing will be held to consider the fiscal year 2024 budget amendment (Abhi Deshpande). CIP/DID #FIN2023-09 a. Resolution adopting the fiscal year 2024 budget amendment and transfers.]

ABHI DESHPANDE IS HERE.

ABHI, I WILL RECOGNIZE YOU.

THANK YOU. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

ABHI DESHPANDE, FINANCE DIRECTOR, FOR THE RECORD.

SO WE ARE DOING THE BUDGET AMENDMENT PUBLIC HEARING FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020 FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2024. BUDGET WAS DEVELOPED AROUND 18 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 2024, WHICH IS THE JUNE 30TH, 2024, BASED ON THE PROJECTIONS AND REVENUES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR.

SO THE BUDGET WAS DEVELOPED 18 MONTHS BEFORE THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR.

THEREFORE, THE STATE REQUIRES IF YOU HAVE ANY BUDGET AMENDMENTS, IF THE ACTUAL EXPENSES WILL EXCEED THE ADOPTED BUDGET OR FOR TRANSFER OF FUNDS THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE ADOPTED BUDGET.

THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 BUDGET AMENDMENT DOES NOT IMPACT ON PROPERTY TAX LEVIES AS WELL AS IT REFLECTS THE CHANGES TO THE REVENUE AND EXPENSES EXPENSE PROJECTIONS.

IT INCLUDES ADJUSTMENTS FOR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES AND INCLUDE TRANSFER OF FUNDS, WHICH ARE THE ACCOUNTING TREATMENTS.

THIS PRESENTATION WILL HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THESE CHANGES.

SO FOR THE GENERAL FUND ON THE REVENUE SIDE, THE BUDGET IS INCREASED BY 22.7 MILLION.

ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, THE BUDGET IS INCREASED BY 25.7 MILLION.

THE KEY ITEMS IN THIS IS 10.1 MILLION FOR INTERNAL CHARGES FOR ADMIN ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, AND IT FOR THE GENERAL CHARGES FOR THE GENERAL FUND, THEN 1.3 MILLION INCREASE IN REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE FOR THE AMPHITHEATER.

THERE ARE VARIOUS DIFFERENT EXPENSES, INCLUDING LICENSE PLATE READER SAFETY PROGRAM, FIRE ALL TIME OR AGRICULTURE MOWER PURCHASE THOSE EQUAL AROUND HALF MILLION DOLLARS.

THEN THERE ARE SOME OF THE PURCHASES, THOSE OVERLAY ON THE CROSS FISCAL OVER THERE, WHICH IS BASICALLY THE TIMING OF PURCHASES, OR THOSE ARE ABOUT 600,000, AND THEN OVERALL, THERE ARE ANNUAL ALLOWANCES FOR THE BAD DATE AROUND TOTAL $7 MILLION.

ON THE INTERNAL SERVICES FUNDS.

ON THE REVENUE SIDE, THE BUDGET IS INCREASED BY 4.3 MILLION, AND ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, THE BUDGET IS INCREASED BY 9.5 MILLION.

SOME OF THE KEY ITEMS ARE AROUND 900,000 FOR THE PROPERTY AND LIABILITY INSURANCE EXPENSES, AROUND 750,000 FOR INCREASE IN THE WORKMEN COMPENSATION EXPENSES, 4.1 MILLION.

[00:10:01]

INCREASE IN THE HEALTH INSURANCE COST AND AROUND $4 MILLION DUE TO THE TIMING OF PURCHASES AND PROJECTS.

ON THE TAX SUPPORTED FUNDS.

ON THE REVENUE SIDE, THE BUDGET INCREASED BY 42 MILLION, AND ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, THE BUDGET HAS INCREASED BY 66.3 MILLION.

SO THE KEY ITEMS ARE REALLY ABOUT THE TRANSFER ASSOCIATED WITH THE CAPITAL PROJECTS AND THE TIMING OF PROJECTS.

THESE PROJECTS INCLUDES ANY PROJECTS ABOUT THE PAVING FOR PROGRESS FRAUD CONTROL SYSTEM OR VARIOUS PROJECTS SUPPORTED BY DEBT LEVY.

ON THE DEBT SERVICE FUNDS, ON THE REVENUE SIDE, THE REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE SIDE, THE INCREASE IS 1.6 MILLION DUE TO THE INCREASE IN THE ISSUANCE, DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS FOR FY 24 DEBT.

ON THE ENTERPRISE FUND, ON THE REVENUE SIDE, THE BUDGET DECREASED BY 13.4 MILLION, AS WELL AS ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, THE BUDGET DECREASED BY 15 MILLION, AND THIS IS MAINLY DUE TO THE AMENDMENTS SUBMITTED BY COMPONENT UNITS LIKE CEDAR RAPIDS, LINN COUNTY, SOLID WASTE AGENCY OR AIRPORT.

ALSO INCREASE IN REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE FOR CITY ENTERTAINMENT VENUES AND ALSO FOR SOME OF THE COSTS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE TIMING OF THE PROJECTS THAT CROSS OVER DIFFERENT FISCAL YEARS.

ON THE SPECIAL REVENUE SIDE THE REVENUE BUDGET INCREASED BY AROUND $7.8 MILLION AND THE EXPENDITURE BUDGET INCREASED BY $23.2 MILLION, AND THESE ARE THE BASICALLY DIFFERENT TRANSFERS BETWEEN ACCOUNTS FROM THE REVENUE COLLECTION TO THE ACTUAL THE TRANSFER GOING OUT AS EXPENDITURE, SUCH AS THE LOST REVENUE RECORDED WITH THE ARPA TRANSFERS ALSO TIF REVENUE AND SOME OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND SPECIAL PUBLIC SAFETY RELATED GRANTS.

ALSO, THERE ARE SOME OF THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH TIMING OF THE PROJECT CROSSING OVER DIFFERENT FISCAL YEARS.

SO THE OVERALL THE TOTAL FUND IMPACT IS ON THE REVENUE SIDE, THE BUDGET IS INCREASING BY $65.2 MILLION AND THE BUDGET ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, THE BUDGET IS INCREASING BY $111.8 MILLION.

THE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THESE TRANSFERS OR INCREASES ON THE BOTH REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE SIDE IS DUE TO THE TIMING OF THE TRANSFERS. THERE ARE AROUND $45 MILLION THERE.

ALSO, THE IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS RELATED TO THE RATIO WORK, WHICH ACTUALLY THE DECREASE IN THE REVENUE AND THE INCREASE ON THE EXPENDITURE.

ALSO THE ENTERTAINMENT VENUE OPERATIONS REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE INCREASES.

THAT HAS COST AROUND 30 MILLION ON THE REVENUE SIDE, 40 MILLION ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, AND THE OVERALL YEAR END ACCOUNTING AND ALLOWANCE ADJUSTMENT FOR THE BAD DEBT IS AROUND $8.5 MILLION.

THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE SHOWS THE COMPARISON BETWEEN THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR'S BUDGET ADJUSTMENT.

SO YOU CAN SEE THAT AS COMPARED TO THE 2020 OR 2021, THE BUDGET AMENDMENT HAS DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY, AND THAT IS DUE TO THE WRAPPING UP OF THE 2020 DEBT RATIO ACTIVITIES.

WITH THAT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 BUDGET AMENDMENT.

WITH THAT, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION, I WILL TAKE THOSE.

I THANK YOU, ABHI.

THIS IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER.

DOES ANYONE HERE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO ADDRESS COUNCIL? ALL RIGHT. LET THE RECORD INDICATE A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER HAS BEEN HELD WITH NO OBJECTIONS FOR THE RECORD.

COUNCIL COMMENTS FOR CONSIDERATION.

COUNCILMEMBER OLSON. THANK YOU.

MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THIS.

I KNOW WE LOOK AT IT ON THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS GOING THAT ARE SUBSTANTIAL, IT'S AMAZING HOW JUST A DELAY AND PIECE OF FLOOD

[00:15:08]

CONSTRUCTION WALL SWINGS, BUT I THINK THAT IN OUR CURRENT AUDIT WE'RE STILL GET OUR HIGH RANKING AND EVERYTHING.

SO, IT'S GOOD TO SEE THE DECREASE BECAUSE WE'VE HAD THIS, AND I'M ON A COUPLE DIFFERENT CITY AND BOARDS OF THE LINN COUNTY SOLID WASTE, AND WE HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING, AND IT'S ALWAYS CONFUSING THAT THE STATE REQUIRES YOU TO DISCLOSE ALL OF THESE AND HAVE A MOTION BEFORE US, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S SO MANY OF OUR PROJECTS THAT OVERLAP MULTIPLE YEARS. SO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE NOW THAT YOU'RE INTO THE NEW ROLE OF THE THINGS YOU'RE SEEING? DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW AS YOU SAID, THAT THERE ARE STATE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE NEED TO ABIDE BY AS WELL AS THERE IS SOME ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENT ON THE AUDIT SIDE.

SO DEFINITELY THE RECONCILIATION BETWEEN TWO REQUIREMENTS IS SOMETHING A FINE BALANCE THAT WE, THE EVERYONE IN FINANCE IS TRYING TO ACHIEVE THAT.

SO WITH DEFINITELY WITH YOUR QUESTION, I THINK YOU KNOW, MY TEAM AND I, WE ARE WELL EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THOSE REQUIREMENTS ON THE BOTH SIDE.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT, AND OUR AUDIT TURNED OUT VERY WELL, AND WE SAW BEFORE.

SO IT WAS A VERY GOOD AUDIT.

YEAH, AS YOU CAN SEE IT WAS THE CLEAR AUDIT UNMODIFIED OPINION ON THAT.

SO DEFINITELY BASED ON THE, THE AMOUNT OF ACCOUNTING TRANSACTIONS THAT WE GO THROUGH AS A CITY ENTITY.

I THINK THAT'S DEFINITELY A GOOD ACHIEVEMENT HERE.

ANYONE ELSE WISH TO ADDRESS COUNCIL? ALL RIGHT. OTHERWISE, SEEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION HAS BEEN MOVED BY OLSON, SECONDED BY OVERLAND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO, AND THIS MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU. ABBY.

ITEM NUMBER TWO IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER REPEALING CHAPTER 12 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE WATER SERVICE AND ENACTING A NEW CHAPTER 12, IN ITS PLACE TO REORGANIZE THE CHAPTER, UPDATE THE REFERENCES TO STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS, CLARIFY ACCESS TO PRIVATE FACILITIES, INCREASE CONNECTION FEES, UPDATE THE WATER RESTRICTIONS SECTION TO ALIGN WITH THE DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN, AND ADD SECTIONS TO ADDRESS ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS, PRIVATE HYDRANTS AND PRIVATE WELLS.

CHRISTINE KNAPP IS HERE.

CHRISTINE, I'LL RECOGNIZE YOU.

THANK YOU. MAYOR. THANK YOU.

COUNCIL CHRISTINE KNAPP, UTILITIES DEPARTMENT.

I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT CHAPTER 12 REVISION HISTORY, AND FIRST OF ALL, CHAPTER 12 WAS REENACTED BY ORDINANCE NUMBER 00308, PASSED IN MARCH OF 2008.

IT WAS LAST REVISED IN 2014.

THAT REVISION DEFINED PURPOSE FOR CONNECTION FEE REVISED THE CONNECTION FEE TO $800 PER ACRE AND DEFINE THE MINIMUM PIPE DIAMETER FOR WATER MAIN INSTALLED FOR DOMESTIC SERVICE.

THIS REVISION IN 2024 WAS AN INNOVATION PROJECT AND IT WAS CROSS-DEPARTMENTAL TEAM.

IN GENERAL THE CHANGES NOTED HERE, ALL DEFINITIONS WERE MOVED TO THE FRONT OF THE DOCUMENT TO BE CONSISTENT.

SECTIONS WERE REARRANGED TO PLACE RELEVANT SECTIONS ADJACENT TO ONE ANOTHER, AND WE REPLACED OUTDATED REFERENCES TO THE METRO DESIGN STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS TO THE SUDAS AND OTHER CLARIFICATIONS.

REGARDING THE CONNECTION FEE, WE ADJUSTED THE CONNECTION FEE FROM $800 PER ACRE TO $1,000 PER ACRE, WITH A $1,000 MINIMUM.

THE $800 CONNECTION FEE HAD NOT BEEN ADJUSTED SINCE THAT 2014 AMENDMENT TO THE CHAPTER.

REGARDING THE SITE ACCESS SECTION, WE CLARIFIED THE RIGHTS TO ACCESS FOR METER SERVICES.

WE ADDED THE RIGHT OF ACCESS FOR PRIVATE FACILITIES FOR PURPOSES OF WATER QUALITY SAMPLING AND TESTING, AND WE ADDED THAT THE WATER DIVISION HAS THE RIGHT TO ACCESS PRIVATE WATER FACILITIES IF IT'S DEEMED NECESSARY.

WE ADDED SECTIONS REGARDING PRIVATE HYDRANT MAINTENANCE.

WE ADDED A SECTION REGARDING ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS, PRIVATE WELLS INCLUDING GEOTHERMAL WELLS, CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION COSTS FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPER WATER MAIN INSTALLATION MAY BE INCLUDED IN THIS BRINGS THE WATER SERVICE CONSISTENT WITH SANITARY SEWER CONSTRUCTION.

OBSERVATION FEES.

OTHER SECTIONS REVISED INCLUDED UPDATING THE WATER USE RESTRICTIONS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN, WHICH WAS ADOPTED IN 2013, AND WE REMOVED A SECTION REPLACING FIGURES FROM THE CHAPTER AND ADDED REFERENCES TO THE CEDAR RAPIDS SUPPLEMENTAL SPECIFICATION TO SUIT US. REGARDING THE SCHEDULE, WE'RE HAVING THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING TODAY ON MAY 28TH.

A SECOND AND THIRD POSSIBLE READING ON JUNE 11TH, WITH AN EFFECTIVE DATE OF JULY 1ST, AND OUR RECOMMENDATION

[00:20:06]

IS THAT THE UTILITIES DEPARTMENT, THE CITY COUNCIL, APPROVED THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 12.

THANK YOU, CHRISTINE.

THIS IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER.

DOES ANYONE HERE WISH TO ADDRESS COUNCIL? ALL RIGHT. LET THE RECORD SHOW NO OBJECTIONS FOR THE RECORD.

COUNCIL, COMMENTS FOR CONSIDERATION.

ALL RIGHTY. THANKS SO MUCH.

SEEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, THE APPROVAL OF THE ORDINANCE ON ITS FIRST READING HAS BEEN MOVED BY TODD, SECONDED BY VANORNY.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO, AND THIS MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER THREE IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AMENDING CHAPTER 61 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE TRAFFIC REGULATIONS BY REPEALING SECTION 61.138,

[3. A public hearing will be held to consider amending Chapter 61 of the Municipal Code, Traffic Regulations, by repealing Section 61.138, Automated Traffic Enforcement, and enacting in its place a new Section 61.138 to incorporate updated state legislation (Hannah Myrom). CIP/DID #OB44977 a. First Reading: Ordinance amending Chapter 61 of the Municipal Code, Traffic Regulations, by repealing Section 61.138, Automated Traffic Enforcement, and enacting in its place a new Section 61.138 to incorporate updated state legislation.]

AUTOMATED TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT, AND ENACTING IN ITS PLACE A NEW SECTION 61.138 TO INCORPORATE UPDATED STATE LEGISLATION, AND HANNAH MYROM IS HERE.

HANNAH. HI.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS HANNAH MYROM.

I AM THE PROJECT COORDINATOR FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE AUTOMATED TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM.

SO IN 2009, THE CITY COUNCIL PASSED ENACTED AN ORDINANCE ALLOWING THE USE OF ATE SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT CEDAR RAPIDS AT DOCUMENTED HIGH CRASH, HIGH RISK LOCATIONS.

SOME STATISTICS FROM THAT PROGRAM HAVE BEEN IN 2023, THERE WAS A 24% REDUCTION IN CRASHES AT ALL LOCATIONS WHERE AT SYSTEMS ARE USED COMPARED TO 2022 AVERAGE CRASHES ON I-380.

THE S CURVE PER MONTH HAVE DECREASED WITH THE USE OF ATE SYSTEMS BY 58.3% WHEN COMPARED TO THE SAME TIME FRAME WHEN AT SYSTEMS WERE NOT USED.

THERE WAS A 44.7% CHANCE THAT A CRASH WOULD RESULT IN AN INJURY ON I-380 IN THE THREE YEARS PRIOR TO UTILIZING ATE SYSTEMS ON I-380 AND THE LIKELIHOOD DECREASE TO 27.7 COMPARING THE LAST THREE YEARS THAT WE HAVE USED ATES ON THE INTERSTATE.

THE SAFE SYSTEM APPROACH IS A STRATEGY ENDORSED AT THE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS TO ASSIST IN ACHIEVING THE GOAL OF ERADICATING ALL TRAFFIC FATALITIES AND SERIOUS INJURIES.

THE FHWA AND NHTSA INCLUDE SPEED SAFETY CAMERAS AS A PROVEN SAFETY COUNTERMEASURE THAT FURTHERS THE SAFE SYSTEM APPROACH. SO IN, OOPS, ON MAY 17TH OF THIS YEAR GOVERNOR REYNOLDS PASSED HOUSE FILE 2681 THAT REGULATES THE USE OF AUTOMATED TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT SYSTEMS FOR SPEED VIOLATIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

THIS LAW WILL PROMOTE UNIFORMITY FOR ALL MUNICIPALITIES AUTHORIZED TO USE ATE SYSTEMS. SOME GENERIC OVERVIEWS OF THE LAW IS THAT THERE'S A FEE STRUCTURE THAT ALL CITIES WILL BE ENFORCING A T 11MPH OVER THE SPEED LIMIT, AND IT REQUIRES MUNICIPALITIES TO PROVIDE DATA DRIVEN EVIDENCE THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR ATE SYSTEMS IN THEIR COMMUNITY. THE USE OF MOBILE SYSTEMS WILL WILL BE AUTHORIZED AND REGULATED BY RULES ADOPTED BY THE IOWA DOT AND WILL LIMIT USE TO NEIGHBORHOODS, CONSTRUCTION ZONES, SCHOOL ZONES COLLEGIATE ZONES, AND LOCATIONS WHERE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT IS DIFFICULT OR DANGEROUS TO ENFORCE BY ALTERNATIVE METHODS.

LOOKING THERE IS A PERMIT REQUIREMENT WHICH IS WHAT I WAS REFERENCING ON THE LAST SLIDE WITH THE DATA DRIVEN INFORMATION.

SO THE DOT HAS TO DETERMINE THAT AN ATE SYSTEMS ARE APPROPRIATE AND NECESSARY, AND FOR MUNICIPALITIES THAT HAVE ATE SYSTEMS ESTABLISHED BEFORE JANUARY 1ST TO APPLY FOR A PERMIT.

SO INCLUDED IN THAT PERMIT ARE CRASH AND VIOLATION STATISTICS FOR EACH LOCATION, TRAFFIC DATA ANALYSIS AND MEASUREMENTS OF THE AT INTERSECTIONS AND LOCATIONS AND ALTERNATIVE METHODS CONSIDERED TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC SAFETY AT EACH LOCATION. ANOTHER ACTION ITEMS ON THE PERMIT IS THAT IT'S THE APPLICATION IS DUE TO THE DOT BY JULY 1ST OF THIS YEAR.

THE DECISION FROM THE DOT IS WILL BE GIVEN BY OCTOBER 1ST OF 2024.

[00:25:04]

DURING THE TIME THE DOT HAS TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION, THE CEDAR RAPIDS ATE PROGRAM WILL BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STATE LAW THAT WAS JUST PASSED.

VEHICLE OWNERS THAT ARE IN VIOLATION OF HOUSE FILE 2681 WILL BE NOTIFIED IN THE SAME MANNER THEY ARE NOW.

ALL INDIVIDUALS THAT RECEIVE A NOTICE OF AUTOMATED TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT CITATION ARE PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONTEST THE CITATION IN WRITING SUBMITTED ON THE ATE WEBSITE OR BY MAIL, JUST AS THEY ARE NOW.

SOME VERY BASIC AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 61.138.

THE DEFINITIONS ARE ARE PART OF THAT.

WE'RE GOING TO JUST NEED TO REPLACE THAT WITH THE EXACT LANGUAGE IN HOUSE FILE 2681.

THE FIRST ONE WOULD BE THE DEFINITION OF A PHOTOGRAPHIC VIDEO OR ELECTRONIC CAMERA AND REPLACE THAT WITH CAMERA OR OTHER OPTICAL DEVICE.

REMOVE AUTOMATICALLY PRODUCE PHOTOGRAPHS, DIGITAL VIDEO IMAGES OF EACH VEHICLE VIOLATING A STANDARD AND REPLACE IT WITH THE USE OF WHICH RESULTS IN THE ISSUANCE OF CITATIONS SENT THROUGH THE MAIL OR BY ELECTRONIC MEANS.

THE OWNER OF OR WILL ALSO HAVE TO AMEND THE LANGUAGE DEFINING A VEHICLE OWNER PERTAINING TO LEASE AGREEMENTS.

IOWA LAW 321.493 STATES THAT THE LESSEE OF A VEHICLE IS CONSIDERED THE VEHICLE OWNER.

CURRENTLY IN OUR ORDINANCE, WE HAVE THAT IN THE EVENT THAT THE STATE REGISTRATION OFFICE DOES NOT SPECIFY WHETHER A PERSON OR ENTITY IS LISTED FOR THE VEHICLE, IS THE OWNER OR THE LESSEE OF THE VEHICLE, ANY PERSON OR ENTITY LISTED ON THE REGISTRATION MAY BE DEEMED THE VEHICLE OWNER.

SO THAT'S JUST GOING TO BE UPDATED TO THE IOWA LAW MATCHING THAT.

SO NEXT IS A CLOSER LOOK AT THE FEE STRUCTURE.

CURRENT IN OUR ORDINANCE, THE FINE SCHEDULE STARTS AT ONE THROUGH FIVE AND SIX THROUGH TEN.

THOSE WILL BE REPLACED WITH WHAT YOU SEE HERE, STARTING AT 11MPH OVER THE SPEED LIMIT.

I WANT TO NOTE THAT THIS PART OF OUR THE FEE SCHEDULE IN CEDAR RAPIDS DOES MATCH WHAT'S IN HOUSE FILE 2681.

SO IN TERMS OF THAT, IT WILL MATCH AND WE WILL BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THAT.

SO WE JUST NEED TO REMOVE THE TOP TWO LINES.

WE HAVE ALWAYS THE CEDAR RAPIDS STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO ISSUE CITATIONS TO VEHICLES IDENTIFIED GOING 12 MILES AN HOUR OR MORE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT.

SO THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN COMPLIANCE WITH WHAT HAS BEEN PASSED NOW AND THEN ALSO THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE STATING 30MPH WILL BE CHANGED FROM 750 TO 1000.

WITH THAT WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE FIRST READING AND THE SECOND AND POSSIBLE THIRD READING OF THE ORDINANCE ON JUNE 11TH.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, HANNAH.

THIS IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER.

DOES ANYONE HERE WISH TO ADDRESS COUNCIL? I'LL ASK YOU TO PLEASE STEP FORWARD IF YOU GIVE US YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE.

DEAN SINGSON, 3420 WENIG ROAD NORTHEAST.

I WISH THE HONESTY OF TAKING MONEY TO SUPPORT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS JUST READILY SAID.

I TALKED TO THE PREVIOUS MAYOR AND.

ON THE CURVES. I CAN SEE RIGHT OVER THERE WHEN THE ATE WAS PUT IN THE DOT, PUT DOWN SAND ON TOP OF GLUE, WHICH MADE IT LESS SLIPPERY.

SO TO SAY THAT THE ATE REDUCED CRASHES ON THE CURVES ON I-380 WOULD BE INCORRECT WITHOUT ALSO.

USING THE SAND GLUE THAT THE DOT PUT DOWN TO MAKE THEM LESS SLIPPERY.

THE REASON I SAY THIS IS I'VE DRIVEN AND BEEN PAID FOR 3 MILLION MILES SAFE DRIVING, AND I HAVE LISTENED TO PROBABLY 3000 HOURS OF AM RADIO, AND THERE IS A MAN IN SAINT LOUIS WHO HAS WRITTEN BOOKS AND STUDIED ATES AND ABSOLUTELY DISAGREES THAT THEY HAVE REDUCED ANY ACCIDENTS.

SO WHETHER OR NOT THE ATES ARE THERE OR NOT IS OF INDIFFERENCE TO ME.

WE KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.

[00:30:01]

WE SLOW DOWN FOR THEM AND THEN WE PROCEED ON.

THE PROBLEM IS THE DISHONESTY ABOUT IT THAT IRRITATES ME, AND THAT'S ALL I'D LIKE TO SAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

DOES ANYONE ELSE? WISH TO ADDRESS COUNCIL.

WAS THAT AN OBJECTION? AN OFFICIAL OBJECTION.

SURE. OKAY.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT, THAT BRINGS US TO THE RECORD INDICATING ONE OBJECTION FOR THE RECORD.

COUNCIL? COUNCILMEMBER VANORNY.

THANKS, MAYOR. SO WE'VE HAD THOROUGH DISCUSSIONS OVER THE SEVEN YEARS I'VE BEEN ON PUBLIC SAFETY ABOUT THE EFFICACY OF ATES, AND IF ANYBODY RECALLS AT THAT POINT IN TIME, I WAS ACTUALLY A PROPONENT OF HA VING IT BE A HEAVIER FEE CONTRACT OR A FINE CONTRACT IN THE FACT THAT I'M NOT SURE THAT I KNOW THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO SLOW DOWN SO THEY DON'T GET CAUGHT, AND THEN THEY SPEED RIGHT BACK UP BECAUSE I SEE THEM.

I DRIVE THAT QUITE A BIT.

THE PROBLEM IS, IS THAT THIS IS ONE MEANS TO REDUCE BEHAVIOR.

IT IS AN EFFECTIVE MEANS.

IT IS SUPPORTED BY LOTS OF RESEARCH.

IT IS SUPPORTED BY YOUR INSURANCE CARRIERS, PRETTY MUCH EVERY SINGLE ONE THAT YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET INSURANCE WITH SUPPORTS THIS AS AN EFFICACY TO KEEP YOU SAFE, TO KEEP OUR STREETS SAFE AND OUR HIGHWAYS.

THAT IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS PART.

I THINK IF WE WERE TO REDO HOW THAT HIGHWAY WAS LAID OUT, WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T DO THAT BUT IT'S THERE NOW, AND THE REALITY IS, I WILL ALWAYS COME BACK TO THE STORY OF THE PERSON WHO'S SLIGHTLY YOUNGER THAN ME, WHO WAS PERMANENTLY DISABLED ON THAT ONE OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND IS NO LONGER ALLOWED TO SERVE BECAUSE OF THEIR PERMANENT INJURIES THAT THEY SUSTAINED BY PULLING SOMEBODY OVER.

SO THE REALITY IS, WE COULD HAVE BEEN HEAVIER IN OUR INTEREST TO RESPOND TO BEHAVIOR.

WHEN WE HAD THE CAMERAS BRIEFLY OFF ABOUT A YEAR OR SO THERE WERE FOLKS WHO WERE DRIVING 114MPH ON THAT.

SOME OF THE WAY THAT PEOPLE DRIVE ON THAT, GIVEN HOW BUSY IT IS, IS ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS.

I MYSELF HAVE A TENDENCY TO SPEED THAT'S BEING EXTREMELY TRANSPARENT, BUT I'M ALSO GOING TO TELL YOU WHEN I'M IN CEDAR RAPIDS, WHEN I'M ON THE S CURVE, I DO NOT.

THAT'S THE EFFICACY OF HAVING ATES.

WE KNOW IN THE TOWNS THAT HAVE THEM, THEY HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED THE AVERAGE RATE OF SPEED.

THAT'S TO KEEP YOU SAFE, THAT'S TO KEEP THE DRIVERS AROUND YOU SAFE, AND THAT'S TO KEEP OUR OFFICERS SAFE BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A CURB ON THERE FOR THEM TO SAFELY PULL SOMEBODY OVER. SO WE ARE BEING TRANSPARENT IN WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE.

I WOULD ALSO SUPPORT SOMEDAY REEVALUATING THIS AND HAVING THIS BE A, YOU KNOW, A COUNT, A STRIKE ON PEOPLE'S INSURANCE AT THAT POINT IN TIME, THE WAY THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL DRIVING, EVEN WITH THESE MEASURES, MOST PEOPLE WOULD LOSE THEIR THEIR DRIVING ABILITY.

SO I THINK WE TRIED TO FIND A HAPPY YOU KNOW, A PRAGMATIC BALANCE HERE.

I HOPE THAT PEOPLE TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, BUT THIS WAS THE RESOLUTION THAT WE CAME UP WITH AS A COUNCIL THE LAST TIME THAT WE EVALUATED IT, AND I'M GLAD THAT IT'S A ROBUST ENOUGH PROGRAM THAT IT DID SURVIVE THE LEGISLATURE REGULATIONS THAT CAME IN THIS YEAR.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT, HANNAH, AND THANK YOU, AND THANKS TO YOUR TEAM, BY THE WAY, FOR WORKING WITH THE LEGISLATURE, BECAUSE IF THOSE REGULATIONS LOOK FAMILIAR IT WAS BECAUSE CEDAR RAPIDS WAS AT THE TABLE FOR THOSE NEGOTIATIONS.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IF THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS, THE APPROVAL OF THIS ORDINANCE ON ITS FIRST READING HAS BEEN MOVED BY VANORNY, SECONDED BY TODD.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO, AND THIS MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER FOUR IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER 28E ANNEXATION AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF MARION OUTLINING GROWTH AREAS FOR BOTH CITIES FOR A PERIOD OF

[4. A public hearing will be held to consider a 28E annexation agreement with the City of Marion outlining growth areas for both cities for a period of 10 years (Adam Lindenlaub). CIP/DID #CD0095-2024 a. Resolution authorizing execution of a 28E annexation agreement with the City of Marion outlining growth areas for both cities for a period of 10 years.]

TEN YEARS. ADAM LINDENLAUB IS HERE TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

ADAM, I'LL RECOGNIZE YOU.

THANK YOU. MAYOR. THANK YOU, MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL ADAM LINDENLAUB, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING DEPARTMENT.

AS STATED, THIS ITEM IS TO CONSIDER AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CEDAR RAPIDS AND CITY OF MARION RELATED TO ANNEXATION.

SO WHAT AN ANNEXATION AGREEMENT DOES, IT HELPS SUPPORT ORDERLY GROWTH, ORDERLY AND EFFICIENT GROWTH.

IT DEFINES AN AREA FOR EACH CITY WHERE THE LOCALITY WOULD OBJECT TO WOULD NEITHER WOULD OBJECT TO AN ANNEXATION, AND IT IS VALID FOR A PERIOD OF TEN YEARS.

SO THIS IS THE AREA THAT'S COVERED BY THE ANNEXATION.

THIS IS DOWN.

[00:35:01]

THIS IS RIGHT ABOUT FUTURE TARTARUS ROAD HERE, AND THEN UP AT THE NORTH, THE TOWNSHIP LINE BETWEEN OTTER CREEK AND MARION.

SO THE BLUE IS MARION, AND ANYTHING ON THAT SIDE OF THE LINE WOULD BE THEIR AREA FOR ANNEXATION.

GREEN IS CEDAR RAPIDS, AND ANYTHING ON THAT SIDE IN AREA A WOULD BE WHERE CEDAR RAPIDS WOULD ANNEX.

SO I MENTIONED SOME THOSE THE NORTHERN AND UPPER OR NORTHERN AND LOWER BOUNDARIES, THOSE WERE ADJUSTED COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS AGREEMENT, AND THEN THIS ONE DOES IN ADDITION TO THAT, THAT LINE FOR ANNEXATION, IT DOES CONTAIN SOME OTHER PROVISIONS.

ONE OF THOSE IS DEVELOPMENT OF A WATERSHED MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT FOR FUTURE MITIGATION ACTIVITIES.

AN UPDATE TO THE EXISTING SANITARY SEWER IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENT, AND THEN THE THIRD IS TO PERFORM AN EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES FOR DEVELOPMENT ALONG SHARED CORPORATE LIMIT LINES.

SO THE CITY OF MARION DID APPROVE THIS AGREEMENT LAST THURSDAY, AND AFTER TODAY'S CONSIDERATION, AND IF APPROVED, THEN THIS WOULD BE SENT ON TO THE TO THE STATE CITY DEVELOPMENT BOARD FOR RECORDING, AND WITH THAT I TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

ADAM, THANK YOU.

THIS IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER.

DOES ANYONE WISH TO ADDRESS COUNCIL? LET THE RECORD SHOW A PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN HELD WITH NO OBJECTIONS.

FOR THE RECORD.

COUNCIL? SEEING NOTHING HERE.

THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION HAS BEEN MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER SCOTT OLSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HOEGER.

[5. A public hearing will be held to consider a change of zone for property at 5051 Williams Boulevard SW from A-AG, Agricultural District, to S-RMF, Suburban Residential Medium Flex District, as requested by JB Capital Holdings LP (William Micheel). (Council Priority) CIP/DID #RZNE000316-2024 a. First Reading: Ordinance granting a change of zone for property at 5051 Williams Boulevard SW from A-AG, Agricultural District, to S-RMF, Suburban Residential Medium Flex District, as requested by JB Capital Holdings LP.]

RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM FLEX DISTRICT, AS REQUESTED BY JB CAPITAL HOLDINGS, LP.

BILL MICHAEL IS HERE. BILL, I'LL RECOGNIZE YOU.

GOOD EVENING, AND THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

AS STATED, REQUEST FOR A CHANGE OF ZONE FROM AG TO SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM FLEX DISTRICT.

THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES 1.94 ACRES.

NO DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSED AT THIS TIME.

THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY CAME IN IN 2015 AS PART OF AN 80, 20 VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION.

THE PROPERTY TO THE WEST AND TO THE EAST OF THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY HAS BEEN PLATTED FOR DEVELOPMENT.

DEVELOPMENT HAS STARTED ON THE EAST SIDE.

THERE ARE RELATIVELY NEW OWNERS WHEN IT COMES IN AS A PART OF THE ANNEXATION.

IT COMES IN AUTOMATICALLY AS AG BASED ON STATE CODE.

THE NEW OWNERS SIMPLY WANT TO REZONE IT TO MATCH THE ZONING OF THE SURROUNDING PARCELS.

FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

THE SUBJECT PARCEL IS IN THE TEAL HERE.

URBAN MEDIUM INTENSITY.

THE PROPOSED ZONING DISTRICT IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN MAP, AND YOU CAN SEE HERE THIS PARCEL THE SUBJECT PARCEL IS CURRENTLY ZONED AGRICULTURAL, AND THE PROPOSED ZONING DISTRICT MATCHES EITHER SIDE.

AERIAL OF THE PROPERTY AGAIN, A REMNANT PIECE OF THE PLATTING ON EITHER SIDE.

IT'S 80FT BY A LITTLE OVER 1000FT.

SO THERE WILL BE SOME DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINTS IF AND WHEN THEY DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT.

THEY'RE CURRENTLY JUST SORT OF LOOKING AT OPTIONS.

THIS IS LOOKING NORTH FROM 33RD AVENUE SOUTHWEST.

IT'S THE GRASSY STRIP DIRECTLY NORTH OF THE GATE THERE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, AND THEN LOOKING SOUTH OFF OF WILLIAMS, AND THEY'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON OBTAINING DEMOLITION PERMITS FOR THAT HOUSE REZONING CRITERIA.

AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED, THE LAND WAS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY AS AGRICULTURAL.

IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE LAND USE TYPOLOGY AREA.

THE CURRENT ZONING DISTRICT IS NOT CONSISTENT.

AGAIN JUST ANOTHER ARGUMENT FOR THE REZONING.

AS I MENTIONED, THERE ARE SOME DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINTS GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE PARCEL WHICH WILL NEED TO BE CONSIDERED IF ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT MOVES FORWARD, BUT STAFF HAS NO CONCERNS WITH THE ABILITY OF THE CITY TO SERVE THE PARCEL SUBJECT TO ACCEPTABLE SITE DESIGN, AND THE PROPOSED ZONING DISTRICT MATCHES THE SURROUNDING, AND AS A RESULT, THE CHARACTER OF CPC UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL ON THEIR DURING THEIR MAY 2ND MEETING, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AS IT CONFORMS WITH THE STANDARDS FOR A REZONING.

HERE WE ARE TODAY, MAY 28TH PUBLIC HEARING AND POTENTIAL SECOND AND THIRD READINGS ON JUNE 11TH, AND WITH THAT, I'LL PASS IT BACK TO THE MAYOR.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, BILL.

THIS IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER.

[00:40:02]

DOES ANYONE WISH TO ADDRESS COUNCIL? LET THE RECORD SHOW A PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN HELD WITH NO OBJECTIONS FOR THE RECORD.

THAT BRINGS US TO COUNCIL COMMENTS.

THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER SIX IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER.

[6. A public hearing will be held to consider the proposed plans, specifications, form of contract and estimated cost for the FY 2024 Sidewalk Repair Program project (estimated cost is $370,000) (Ken DeKeyser). (Council Priority) CIP/DID #3017024-01 a. Resolution adopting plans, specifications, form of contract and estimated cost for the FY 2024 Sidewalk Repair Program project.]

PROPOSED PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, FORM OF CONTRACT AND ESTIMATED COST FOR THE FY 2024 SIDEWALK REPAIR PROGRAM PROJECT.

THIS HAS AN ESTIMATED COST OF $370,000.

KEN DEKEYSER IS HERE.

KEN, I'LL RECOGNIZE YOU.

GOOD AFTERNOON. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

KEN DEKEYSER WITH PUBLIC WORKS.

THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IS PROPOSING TO BID OUR ONGOING CITYWIDE SIDEWALK REPAIR PROGRAM.

IN THIS PROGRAM, WE REPAIR DAMAGE AND MISMATCHED SIDEWALK PANELS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, THE PURPOSE OF WHICH IS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SLIP AND FALL HAZARDS, AS WELL AS TO FACILITATE ADA ACCESSIBILITY THROUGHOUT.

WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 370 PROPERTIES WITHIN THE PROGRAM, AND THE PROJECT WILL BID ON MAY 29TH, AND STATED THE COST OPINION IS $370,000, AND SIDEWALK REPAIRS ARE A NOTED COUNCIL PRIORITY OF STRENGTHENING AND STABILIZING THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH A LITTLE BIT OF THE PROCESS BRIEFLY ABOUT THE REPAIR PROGRAM.

FIRST OF ALL, IT STARTS WITH THE CITY INSPECTING SIDEWALKS, AND WE DO THIS EVERY SUMMER, FIRST OF ALL, BY HIRING A COLLEGE ENGINEERING INTERNS TO ASSESS THE CONDITIONS OF OUR VARIOUS FOUR QUADRANTS, AND AS WELL AS WE TAKE MY CR COMPLAINTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND ANY OTHER TYPE OF COMPLAINT BY PHONE OR EMAIL AS FAR AS THE SIDEWALK CONDITIONS.

WHEN WE DO FIND A DEFECTIVE SIDEWALK, WE MARK IT AND THEN WE PROVIDE A NOTIFICATION TO THE PROPERTY OWNER.

IT'S A CERTIFIED LETTER.

WE STATE THAT THEY ARE PROVIDED A YEAR TO REPAIR IT THEMSELVES, IN WHICH CASE THEY COULD QUALIFY FOR CITY REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM WHERE WE CAN PAY THEM BACK FOR PART OF THAT COST.

OR IF THEY CHOOSE, THEY CAN SIMPLY WAIT, AND THEN THE CITY WOULD ASSESS THEM THE COST OF THE SIDEWALK, AND WE DO PROVIDE OWNERS WITH AN ASSESSED AN ESTIMATED ASSESSMENT AND AN ESTIMATED REIMBURSEMENT AT THE TIME OF THAT LETTER.

HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF A GRAPHIC THAT OUR INSPECTORS USE TO ASSESS THE CONDITION OF SIDEWALKS, AND WE ALSO PROVIDE THIS TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS, AND THIS IS ALSO ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE. SO IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS OF WHY WE'RE MARKING THINGS AND WHY SOMETHING WOULD QUALIFY FOR REPAIR, THEY CAN EASILY LOOK AT THIS GRAPHIC TO KNOW WHY.

HERE'S A LIST OF THE OPTIONS THAT WE PROVIDE.

THIS IS AN EXCERPT FROM A LETTER.

THE NOTICE THAT WE SEND TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS, AND THIS THE LETTER CONTAINS THIS TABLE WHICH GIVES THE PROPERTY OWNER THE OPTIONS OF EITHER HAVING THE REPAIRS COMPLETED BY THE CITY, OR THEY CAN COMPLETE THEIR OWN REPAIRS, AND IN THIS, IT NOTES, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WHO DOES THE WORK, WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PERMITS.

THE TIMELINE WE WOULD FILL IN THE DATES CERTAIN THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO COMPLETE THE WORK, AND THEN WE PROVIDE AN ASSESSMENT OR A REIMBURSEMENT RANGE FOR THAT PROPERTY, AND WITH THAT, PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION.

I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, KEN.

THIS IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER.

DOES ANYONE WISH TO ADDRESS COUNCIL? LET THE RECORD SHOW A PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN HELD WITH NO OBJECTIONS FOR THE RECORD.

COUNCIL? SEEING NOTHING FURTHER THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION.

OH, COUNCILMEMBER VANORNY.

THANKS, MAYOR. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT.

SO THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

I KNOW THAT I RAN INTO A CONSTITUENT RECENTLY WHO WAS NOT AWARE THAT THEY COULD HAVE DONE IT THEMSELVES, AND SO IT JUST IS, AND ACTUALLY I WENT THROUGH THIS AT MY PROPERTY. I DON'T KNOW, SIX YEARS AGO OR SO AND THE CITY WAS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD ABOUT PROVIDING PEOPLE THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF.

SO IF PEOPLE DO GET THIS NOTICE AND THEY'RE NOT SURE WHERE TO START, YOU CAN GET A LIST OF THAT, AND I JUST MESSAGED THEM WHAT THEY WERE, THAT THE BIDS WERE QUITE VARIED, AND I FOUND THAT A LOT OF THE VARIATION WAS JUST THE, THE INITIAL ONE SQUARE TO DO.

THE INITIAL COST WAS REALLY JUST BASED ON HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO ACTUALLY BRING THE CONCRETE MIXER OUT TO THAT SITE? BUT THERE ARE DEFINITELY IF YOU'RE MORE HANDY THAN I AM, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO IT YOURSELF AND HAVE SOME SAVINGS THERE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT. THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION HAS BEEN MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER VANORNY, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TODD.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO, AND THIS MOTION CARRIES.

COUNCIL? COUNCILMEMBER OLSON.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

AS A PART OF THE NORTHWEST NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION BOARD, I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO FOLLOW THIS, AND WHAT'S AMAZING IS THE FACT THAT FRIENDS OF THE SHAKESPEARE GARDEN, WHO MAINTAINED THE OLDER GARDEN, IT'S BEEN FLOODED, OF COURSE, AND THEN ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE STEPPED FORWARD, AND IT'S GOING TO BE AN EXCITING ADDITION TO OUR PARK SYSTEM AT NO COST TO THE CITY, AND, AND I THINK THEY'VE RAISED ALREADY MONEY TOWARD THE NEXT FEW PHASES, AND WHAT WE APPRECIATE IS THE PARKS DEPARTMENT HAS WORKED WITH US BECAUSE IT IS IN A CITY PARK, AND THEY WILL HAVE SOME MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES.

SO I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE PARKS DEPARTMENT TO BE AN ASSISTANT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHY YOU'RE DOING THE BIDDING VERSUS SOMEBODY ELSE, IS THE FACT THAT THIS WILL BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF ELLIS PARK.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

COUNCILMEMBER VANORNY.

YEAH. THANKS, MAYOR. I JUST WANT TO SPEAK TO THIS GARDEN.

NOT ONLY IS IT REALLY WELL KNOWN AND HAS BEEN FOR SOME TIME, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL ABOUT PLACEMAKING.

SO WE EVERY SINGLE COUNCIL MEETING, WE'VE GOT REALLY SERIOUS ISSUES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, ALL OF US CAN PROBABLY RECALL SOME TRIPS, SOME PLACE THAT WE WENT ON WHERE THERE WAS A REALLY LOVELY PARK AND JUST DWELLING ON THAT, AND I JUST APPRECIATE THE ATTENTION TO KEEP THIS UP AND TO MAINTAIN IT.

SO THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO ADDRESS COUNCIL? THIS IS PERHAPS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF A CITIZEN DRIVEN PROJECT, TOO, I CAN'T YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T SPEAK ABOUT THAT ENOUGH.

THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE. WHEN WE COME TOGETHER, THE MAGIC CAN HAPPEN, THE PLACEMAKING AND OTHERS.

SO ON BEHALF OF MAYOR PRO TEM POE, WHO I'M SURE TODAY WOULD BE SINGING YOUR PRAISES AND THANKS.

I'LL ALSO ADD TO THAT.

SO IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS, THE ADOPTION OF THIS RESOLUTION HAS BEEN MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER SCOTT OLSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VANORNY.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO, AND THIS MOTION CARRIES HERE IN THE CITY OF CEDAR RAPIDS, WE DO HAVE TWO PUBLIC COMMENT PERIODS.

[PUBLIC COMMENT]

THE FIRST IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON ANY SUBJECT PERTAINING TO COUNCIL ACTIONS SET FORTH TODAY.

[00:50:06]

A SECOND PUBLIC INPUT PERIOD COMES AT THE END OF THE MEDIAN, MEETING RATHER FOR RESIDENTS TO SPEAK ABOUT ISSUES THAT ARE GERMANE TO THE CITY BUT MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE ON OUR AGENDA TODAY.

COUNCILMEMBERS AND CITY STAFF ARE AVAILABLE BEFORE AND AFTER EACH COUNCIL MEETING AT THIS TIME DURING PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.

WE AS A CITY COUNCIL ARE HERE TO LISTEN.

A REMINDER THAT ALL THE MATTERS I ADDRESS PRIVATE TO THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING TODAY APPLY TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD AS WELL.

SO REMAIN AT THE LECTERN.

SEE THE YELLOW LIGHT YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE.

WHEN IT'S RED, YOUR TIME IS UP.

COMMENTS NEED TO BE DIRECTED TO THE MATTERS YOU WISH TO ADDRESS, AND NO ABUSIVE, PERSONAL OR RELEVANT COMMENTS ARE ALLOWED AND THERE SHOULD BE NO PARTICIPATION FROM THE AUDIENCE EITHER. SO IF YOU'VE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, WE'LL ASK YOU TO APPROACH THE MICROPHONE WHEN CALLED UPON.

TODAY WE HAD ONE PERSON FOR THIS PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD, AND THAT IS JEFF NIEMEYER HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER FIVE, WILLIAMS BOULEVARD.

THANK YOU. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL JEFF NIEMEIER, 5051 WILLIAMS BOULEVARD.

SOUTHWEST ORIGINALLY WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT ITEM NUMBER FIVE, BUT IN CORRELATION TO THAT IS ITEM NUMBER 36, WHICH YOU HAVEN'T BELIEVE ITEM NUMBER 36C THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN T.W.

HOMES, AS WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE NUMBER FIVE FOR THE REZONING OR FOR THE REZONING OF THAT PROPERTY, IT'S SANDWICHED BETWEEN A DEVELOPER, T.W.

HOMES, ON BOTH THE WEST AND THE EAST, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'VE GONE FAIRLY IN DEPTH IN THEIR PROCESS.

I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY A POINT.

A LOT OF THE DOCUMENTATION, AS THE NEW OWNER OF 5051 WILLIAMS BOULEVARD THAT I HAVE RECEIVED, ONE OF THEM WAS THE TRAFFIC STUDY BY HOLLAND HALL ENGINEERS REGARDING THAT DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT TRAFFIC STUDY WAS HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON THE ACCESS ONTO WILLIAMS BOULEVARD.

THROUGH THE BASICALLY MY DRIVEWAY AT 5051 WILLIAMS BOULEVARD, AND SINCE WE ACQUIRED THAT PROPERTY MARCH 1ST I'VE BEEN CONTINUALLY PRESSURED TO GRANT THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR THAT DRIVEWAY TO THE DEVELOPER, T.W.

HOMES, AND AS WE SAID EARLIER, I'M IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING PERMITS PULLED TO DEMOLITION THE PROPERTY AND TO GET THAT PROPERTY BACK INTO CODE COMPLIANCE BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN A NUISANCE PROPERTY.

THERE ARE OLD BUILDINGS ON THE PROPERTY THAT HAVEN'T BEEN USED FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO DECADES, AND MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IS TO GET THAT PROPERTY BACK INTO CODE COMPLIANCE.

BRING THOSE BRING THOSE, PROP THOSE BUILDINGS DOWN AND TO GET IT BACK INTO CODE COMPLIANCE, AND THAT I'VE TOLD THE CITY DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPER THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE RIGHT OF WAYS AND THE ACCESS ONTO WILLIAMS BOULEVARD, BUT THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AFTER THE PROPERTY IS BROUGHT BACK INTO CODE COMPLIANCE. SO I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT THERE IS NO AGREEMENT AND THERE IS NO RIGHT OF WAY FOR TW HOMES TO USE THAT PROPERTY TO GAIN ACCESS ONTO WILLIAMS BOULEVARD, AND I THINK THAT JUST NEEDS TO BE CLARIFIED TO THE CITY COUNCIL SO THAT THEY HAVE THE CORRECT INFORMATION MOVING FORWARD.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THAT DOES IT FOR THIS PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.

WE'LL MOVE ON NOW TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA.

CITY MANAGER POMERANZ, DO YOU HAVE ANY CHANGES TO THE AGENDA? YES, YOUR HONOR, WE HAVE FOUR CHANGES.

SO ITEM AT, AU, AV, AND AW ALL REFER TO A PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND THE AMOUNT OF $0, AND FOR LEGAL REASONS THAT'S BEING CHANGED TO $1.

EACH OF THOSE ZEROS IS BEING CHANGED TO $1 FOR AGAIN AT THROUGH AW.

THAT'D BE THE BOTTOM HALF OF PAGE NINE.

OKAY. COUNCIL YOU GOT THAT 36 AT, AU, AV, AND AW, THE AMOUNT TO THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT IS NOW $1.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

ANYTHING ELSE? THAT'S ALL.

THAT'S ALL. OKAY.

[MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA]

DO ANY COUNCIL MEETING. COUNCILMEMBERS NEED TO RECUSE THEMSELVES BASED ON ANYTHING ON OUR AGENDA? OKAY. SEEING NONE, THAT BRINGS US FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA, AS AMENDED.

THE APPROVAL OF THIS AGENDA HAS BEEN MOVED BY OVERLAND, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TYLER OLSON.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

[00:55:01]

ARE WE VOTING ON APPROVING ALL OF THE ITEMS IN THE AGENDA AT THIS? OKAY, SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF POINTS I, I'M NOT COMFORTABLE APPROVING.

OKAY. ITEMS YOU'D LIKE TO PULL FROM THE I DON'T KNOW IF I DON'T THINK PULL IS THE CORRECT TERM.

IT'S JUST THERE IS SOME EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE I HAD ON POINT 36, THE RESOLUTIONS APPROVING ACTIONS REGARDING PURCHASES, CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS.

THERE'S FIVE ITEMS WHERE I COULDN'T GET COMFORTABLE WITH THE EVIDENCE PROVIDED, AND REVIEWING THE PROCUREMENT MANUAL THAT THESE ITEMS SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN COMPETITIVELY BID.

SO RATHER THAN ABSTAIN I THINK THE OPTION, MY ONLY OPTION IS YES OR NO.

SO I AM NOT COMFORTABLE APPROVING THESE FIVE ITEMS BECAUSE I'M STILL IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING SOME BACKUP FOR THAT IF MY COLLEAGUES ARE COMFORTABLE APPROVING IT.

THEN I THEN THAT'S, YOU KNOW, UP FOR VOTES.

OKAY. SO LET'S DO THIS.

WHY DON'T WE PULL ITEM NUMBER 36 FROM CONSENT AND MOVE IT TO THE FULL AGENDA, AND THEN WE'LL PUT THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF OUR REGULAR AGENDA.

OKAY. THANK YOU. EXCELLENT.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? OKAY. THEN WE WILL GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THIS AGENDA AS AMENDED.

APPROVED BY. WE'LL DO IT.

COUNCILMEMBER, I CAN'T REMEMBER.

TYLER OLSON FIRST AND COUNCILMEMBER OVERLAND SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE, AYE. THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO, AND THIS MOTION CARRIES WITH ITEM NUMBER 36.

MOVED TO THE REGULAR AGENDA.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

THE APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA, AS AMENDED, HAS BEEN MOVED BY VANORNY, SECONDED BY TODD.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO, AND THIS MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU COUNCIL.

WE'LL NOW MOVE ON TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA BEGINNING WITH ITEM NUMBER 36, AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS THE

[36. Resolutions approving actions regarding purchases, contracts and agreements]

RESOLUTIONS APPROVING ACTIONS REGARDING THE PURCHASES, CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS.

COUNCIL ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON THAT FOLLOWING COUNCILMEMBER MAIER'S CONCERNS.

COUNCILMEMBER OLSON.

THANK YOU. AS A MEMBER OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, AND I'VE BEEN IN DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION THROUGH MY ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE, IT'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND SOME OF THESE ISSUES AS IT RELATES TO THE PUBLIC VENUE, AND SO I THINK THAT WE TRY TO FOLLOW ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS, AND THE STATE HAS CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS THAT MANDATE CERTAIN THINGS BE DONE AND THEN OTHER THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE INTERNALLY.

SO I APPRECIATE YOUR QUESTIONS, AND BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A PART OF THE LEARNING ABOUT FINANCE AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH YOU VOTING NO AND GETTING THE ANSWERS THAT YOU WANT OR YOU'RE WELCOME TO JOIN US AT THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.

RIGHT, SCOTT? ABSOLUTELY AND JOIN US, AND WE'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THERE, BECAUSE WE DO WATCH IT CLOSELY LIKE YOU ARE AND SO I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO DELVE THAT DEEP INTO THE DIFFERENT PARTS.

SO IT'S APPRECIATED AND THAT YOU'RE GETTING HAVING FUN WITH THE REST OF US.

SO THANK YOU.

I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO MENTION COUNCILMEMBER MAIER, THAT THESE ARE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS THAT WE RELY ON AS A COUNCIL THROUGH OUR CITY MANAGER POMERANZ, AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE PRIMARILY GO THROUGH OUR CITY MANAGER, WHO THEN, IN MY EXPERIENCE, WE REQUIRE OF HIM AS YOU KNOW, THE CITY MANAGER WORKS AT THE PLEASURE OF THE COUNCIL.

SO WE LEAN ON HIM TO GET THOSE ANSWERS FOR US, AND I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST COUNCILMEMBER MAIER, BUT THE REST OF US TO CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GO TO THE CITY MANAGER WHEN WE HAVE THESE QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE.

I THINK IT MIGHT MAKE THESE MEETINGS MORE EFFICIENT, AND THANK YOU, MAYOR, AND JUST TO CLARIFY, I DID GO THROUGH JEFF FOR THESE QUESTIONS AND HE WAS COPIED.

THANK YOU TO THE DIRECTOR FOR TAKING THE TIME TO ALSO DIG IN WITH YOU, I UNDERSTAND.

YEP. APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO DISCUSS? OKAY. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 36.

THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER TYLER OLSON.

THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER HAGER.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? OKAY THEN THAT HAS PASSED.
