Staff: Jade Dundas Assistant City Manager Public Works Melissa Campbell Environmental Services Analyst Debbie Leigh Recording Secretary

Mission Statement The City of Sioux City’s Environmental Advisory Board researches environmentally sound practices, plans for the preservation of natural resources, and educates residents and community leaders about environmental issues.

Accomplishments

Community Education & Involvement

Members of the EAB aim to educate the public at any opportunity. During fiscal year 2014 the EAB organized and participated in several events. In March 2014, members staffed a booth at the Siouxland Garden Show to promote recycling & educate citizens on stormwater pollution. Educational and informational pamphlets were distributed. A raffle for a rain barrel encouraged people to stop at the booth. EAB members also promoted recycling and discussed prevention of stormwater pollution at the Multicultural Fair in March 2014. EAB members also assisted in staffing a table at the October 2013 Riversance. The semi-annual ReEvent was held in September 2013 and in May 2014. Once again we had a great turnout as citizens took advantage of the convenient downtown location that allowed them to recycle items not accepted in residential curbside recycle bins. Items accepted for recycling include electronics, appliances, fluorescent light bulbs, batteries, printer cartridg- es, plastic bags, used motor oil, and documents for on-site shredding. Clothing, household goods, and food were also collected for Goodwill/Junior League and Food Bank of Siouxland. This event continues to be a successful event for the EAB, our local vendors, and the citizens of Sioux City. In January 2014 the Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) partnered with Morningside College marketing students which gave them an opportunity to learn about the City’s recycling program and EAB initiatives so they could create marketing plans to increase participation in recycling and sustainable behavior. As a result, the EAB came away with useful marketing ideas as well as a logo that will increase recognition. EAB members also developed a relationship with the local Sierra Club and are present at every monthly meeting. Sierra Club members are keenly interested in what the city is doing to be environmental and sustainable and are generally supportive of initiatives and decisions when complete factual information is provided. In addition to the events and partnerships mentioned, board members maintain a Face- book page as a way to engage the citizens of Sioux City by posting relevant content and event information.

Recycling

Recycling education efforts at events throughout the year and the distribution of a magnet that provides guidance on items that can be recycled have led to an increase in the recycle rate for Sioux City during FY 2014. This is shown both in the number of recycling bins distributed and the increased average monthly tonnage rate of recyclable materials collected by Gill Hauling during FY 2014 in comparison to FY 2013. Fig 1 shows how the number of bins in use by Sioux City residents has increased between July 2013 and June 2014. An additional 904 recycle bins were requested during the reporting period to bring the total number of bins in use to 9,225. Considering there are approximately 25,700 solid waste accounts, this is a recycle rate of about 36%, up 4% from July 2013 (assuming 9,225 households each have one recycle tote).

Another measure of the effectiveness of recycling education is to view tonnage data for recyclable materials collected. Monthly tonnages for collected recyclable materials has fluctu- ated month to month during FY 2014, with month-to-month increases as high as 16%, and con- versely, decreases as much as 19%. While tonnage data over the past year does not appear to have a consistent pattern, the average monthly tonnage of recyclable materials collected during

FY 2014 is 194.31 tons, which is an increase of nearly 7% over the average monthly tonnage collected during FY 2013, which was 181.81 tons. Figure 2 shows the change in monthly tonnage of recyclable materials collected between FY 2013 and FY 2014.

FY 2015 Goals

• Continue recycling education efforts by participating in various outreach events and distributing educational materials at every opportunity. • Encourage recycling of single use plastic bags and other plastic films at local retail and groceries while educating citizens on the benefits of reusable bags. • Partner with the Sioux City Community School District to organize an Earth Day event that will educate students and provide them with an environmental-related activity. • Provide volunteer assistance to enhance a current stormwater detention structure with native vegetation. • Educate about the prairie and oak savannah restoration efforts occurring at Ravine Park.

2013-2014 Annual Report

Qwer Mission Statement

We will focus on creating consistent experiences that bring people to Sioux City, inspire local pride and achieve success for event organizers.

Services

Services of the EFD include the oversight of the Sioux City Convention Center; the Tyson Events Center/Gateway Arena; the Orpheum Theatre; and the administration of the Tourism Bureau to serve as a catalyst for bringing outside visitors to Sioux City, provide visitor and citizen information and coordinate tourism events for community enhancement.

Resources

Revenues collected from ticket/admission sales, event revenues, concession revenues, and City investment.

FY 2014 GOALS & PROGRESS

1. Partner on booking 12 profitable concerts in the Tyson and Orpheum. We were not able to book 12 profitable concerts in FY2014. 2. Increase Convention Center revenues. Convention Center revenue increased approximately $30k 3. Increase sponsorship revenue 5%. Sponsorship increased 17% 4. Generate $3M ticket sales level at the Tyson Events Center during the fiscal year. We had $2.1M in tickets sales at the Tyson Events Center during FY2014. 5. Improve Ice Center net operating results. The Ice Centers operating results decreased approximately $22k 6. Increase Hotel Occupancy tax collected. Hotel Occupancy tax increased $244K 7. Increase the ticketed event attendance at the Tyson Events Center. Ticketed attendance at the Tyson Events Center decreased 26K

The Sioux City Events Facilities Department brings direct spending from visitors, diversity in live entertainment and sporting events, and community pride to the City of Sioux City. We measure success one event at a time. The keys to our success are to continue to maintain current outstanding guest experiences, and improve that experience as a driving factor for increased attendance; increase our market size through group sales and marketing activities to help increase attendance and sales at each event; and balance these items with fiscal responsibility.

Sioux City Convention Center

Centerplate will market the Convention Center as a regional leader for conventions and other multi-use events. A few of the highlights from this year were securing new Events including: The Alpha Center Banquet, Siouxland Youth for Christ, Iowa Federation of Republican Women, National Rifle Association Banquet and Home Builders Banquet. The Convention Center hosted 192 events in FY2014. The Convention Center hosted annual events such as the Siouxland Chamber Dinner, Bishop’s Dinner, the Holiday and Spring Craft Fairs and the Siouxland Home Show. Conventions and conferences included Western Iowa Synod, American Legion, Diabetic Health Fair, Mercy Protecting Families, Siouxland Mental Health, Emergency Medical Services Conference, Iowa Young Professionals, Cardiology Conference and RV Central. In the sporting events category, we hosted The Midwest 8-Ball Pool Tournament, Regional Martial Arts Tournament, White Tiger Martial Arts Competition, RK Solid Body Building Competition, and an ISU Cyclone Tailgate Tour stop. We also hosted a few alternative programs that included two Hairball concerts and multiple Night Storm Dance Party events.

Our long-time partner, Centerplate, has expanded their range of services for us and is now in charge of facility management of the Convention Center. This change took place in April of 2014 and we are positive about the changes this will bring to our department as we move forward.

The Convention Center's operational goal for event organizers is to make their event easy to plan in a creative atmosphere. We strive to attain zero negative feedback while providing state-of-the-art technical services in a clean and safe environment. We will continue to focus on partnerships with local hotels in an effort to generate additional funds for the hotel/motel tax, which will benefit the City of Sioux City overall.

Tyson Events Center/Gateway Arena

We will continue to market the Tyson Events Center as a premier entertainment destination. The Tyson Events Center/Gateway Arena saw gross ticket sales approximate $2.1M with 83 ticketed events consisting of 6 concerts (Big Time Rush/Victoria Justice, Rascal Flatts, Miranda Lambert/Dierks Bentley, Rob Zombie/Korn, Skillet, and Winger/Warrant/Great White); and 10 family and other production events. We hosted the NAIA Women’s DII National Basketball Championship & the NAIA National Volleyball Championship. Events during the year included WWE, the USHL Fall Classic, Monster Trucks, Bull Riding, TNA Impact Wrestling, the CNOS Basketball Classic, the Shrine Circus, Face off for Charity, and (2) Billion Kia Car Sales events. We hosted the Wells Dairy 100th Birthday Party featuring a private performance by Darius Rucker. The Farmers Market has been a large draw for people from May through October.

The Sioux City Musketeers hockey team held 30 regular season home games and 4 playoff games and Sioux City Bandits indoor football team held 8 total games including 1 playoff game in the Tyson Events Center, along with 5 local high school and college graduations. The Tyson Events Center also hosted the Convoy of Hope outreach event.

The Tyson Events Center celebrated its tenth anniversary by hosting an after hours event in conjunction with the Chamber of Congress. The facility has sold approximately $35.4 million worth of tickets since opening in 2004.

We continue to solidify and develop new relationships to continue our share of event opportunities as these events have a big impact on the community and the generation of sales tax revenue and hotel- motel tax.

The Tyson Events Center was once again ranked in the top ten of the Venues Today Social Media Power 100 list. The Tyson Events Center was the only Iowa venue in its category in to make the list.

Orpheum Theatre

We will continue to market the elegant Orpheum Theatre as a premier cultural destination. The Orpheum Theatre held 72 events and had gross ticket sales approximate $1.2M. Events during the year included Gordon Lightfoot, The Price is Right Live, Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, Hunter Hayes, Disney Junior Live, Martina McBride, Big Band Experience, Tonic Sol-fa, Bret Michaels, Joe Bonamassa, and Celtic Woman. The Broadway Series presented Straight No Chaser, Cirque Dreams, Hello Dolly, Hair, and West Side Story. The local musical Orpheum organizations, Sioux City Symphony and Rockestra, held a total of twelve live concerts including a variety of classical styles and upbeat rock-and-roll performances. The Orpheum Theatre Film Series offered movies throughout the year. Numerous weddings and dance recitals for local organizations were held along with a performance by The Sioux City Conservatory of Music. Theatre staff gave tours of the facility.

The EFD continues to manage the theatre on behalf of the Orpheum Theatre Preservation Project Ltd. The City is not at financial risk to have a deficit with its involvement with the Orpheum because the Orpheum Board pays related EFD expenses as presented for payment. The Orpheum Theatre is now in its 13th year after the renovation and continues its role as a destination point, providing a great impact to the community.

IBP Ice Center

Fiscal year 2014 is the last year that the IBP Ice Center will be part of the Events Facilities Department. Starting in fiscal year 2015 it will move to the newly created Parks and Recreation department where it will continue to be marketed as a premier sports and recreation destination. The Ice Center personnel are committed to the culture of ice in Sioux City, while providing fun programming with a consistent message of what is available, and growing the base of ice users. The Ice Center has also developed a Learn to Skate program for introductory level 1 basic ice skating skills and also provide a level 2 for those that have completed level 1. In FY2014 a Learn to Speed Skate program was developed. These cool skating programs were developed to act as a feeder program for youth hockey and figure skating opportunities. All programs are designed to enhance the services available in a safe environment and increase revenue.

The IBP Ice Center continues to provide a valuable service to our youth hockey and public ice users. The center is used year round as a recreational center with major users including Public Ice Skating, Sioux City Musketeers, Siouxland Youth Hockey Association, Siouxland Adult Hockey, Sioux City Metros High School Team, and numerous ice rentals and private parties.

The annual curling tournament continues to grow in popularity at the IBP Ice Center. Thirty- two teams were hosted in March of 2014 up from twenty-three the previous year. The tournament started in 2011 with 16 teams.

Sioux City Tourism Bureau

We will continue to increase awareness of entertainment opportunities and implement new programming and campaigns to get visitors to Sioux City.

The Bureau hosted the NAIA Women’s Division II National Basketball Tournament and the NAIA Volleyball Tournament at the Tyson Events Center, which drew fans of approximately 30,100 and 17,600 respectively. The Tourism Bureau is the marketing and sales department for Sioux City as a destination, as well as for event marketing. Festivals and outdoor events, sporting events, conventions, and conferences are all examples of the type of events the staff helps to support and bring to Sioux City.

The Bureau actively participates in Siouxland Hospitality Association meetings to report on activities and events designed to increase hotel stays and generate additional hotel/motel tax revenue.

The Bureau continued to provide updated information on Sioux City attractions and amenities in the form of brochures, magazines, web sites, and staff knowledge to promote the area. The Visitors Guide is released 3 times per year, rather than annually, to be more current and attractive to users. During the month of May, the Bureau managed the “Tourist In Your Own Town” program with expansion plans scheduled for 2015.

The Big Parade continues with new concepts being implemented and the Mardi Gras Festivale was once again hosted by the Convention Center. We also maintain a focus on sporting events and our continued successful partnership with the NAIA is the baseline from which partnerships with other sporting organizations can develop. The NAIA has extended our basketball tournament contract through 2017, as well as the NAIA volleyball tournament contract through 2015, and now the 2015 and 2016 NAIA softball tournaments have been added.

ANNUAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2014 SIOUX CITY TRANSIT SYSTEM

FISCAL YEAR 2014 ACCOMPLISHMENTS: JULY 1, 2013 TO JUNE 30, 2014

Ridership Statistics

• The total passenger rides for the period reached 1,113,911 versus 1,085,925 in 2013. • Paratransit ridership continued a downward trend to 19,103 passenger rides, a decrease of 6,578 or 26%. It is believed that the State of Iowa Medicaid Waiver has significantly impacted the eligibility of many individuals. The change in eligibility and payment source for non-emergency medical appointments assigns who the carrier must be. The corresponding decrease in total para transit expense was $156,094 (29%). The current cost per ride charged by Siouxland Regional Transit System (SRTS) is $23.80, as of July 1, 2014.

Operating Revenues

• Income from fixed route & paratransit operations receded to $1,549,194, - a decline of $67,643 (4.2%) compared to the previous fiscal year. The reason is tied to the declining para transit ridership, which included reduced expenses. • The total of Transit Operation revenues was $4,069,710, a difference of $64,031 or 1.5% lower than last year. Transit revenue elements include federal grants, state grants, local Transit real estate tax, fares, commercial office rents, and parking ramp fees.

Projects Completed

• The Sioux City Community School District contract was renewed for the 2014 – 2015 school year for eight (8) routes carrying approximately 200,000 students. • The New Freedom Nights & Weekend program was renewed. Additional local match contributions were obtained; however, the number of rides has continued to fall. The annual total was 141 ADA eligible passenger rides or a decline of 37%. • Stream Global Services, Inc. #6 Airport route diversion in Sergeant Bluff provided 5,419 rides during FY 2014. There were 2,316 fewer riders than a year ago – probably related to cyclical business setbacks in the telemarketing industry. • The rehabilitation of the Transit Maintenance Garage at 2505 East 4th Street is close to conclusion. It included new bus wash equipment, replacement roof, and replacement HVAC – primarily the cooling system. The project also installed new distribution & thermostat controls, and operating software. The total cost will come to $479,823. Eighty percent of this cost was covered by an IDOT grant.

MAP 21 Legislation

The acronym MAP 21(Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century) is the current two-year funding program through FY 2014. This law has held the FTA operating grant portion constant, but reduced the capital for bus replacement in Iowa significantly. The US Congress has not funded a new Highway Bill of which MAP 21 is a part. A continuing resolution was provided until December 2014. New Freedom funds were carried over for FY 2013 and FY 2014. Because funding is not yet authorized, neither the operating or capital allocation are known at this time.

Bus Replacement

The MAP 21 law decreased federal funding to rural states for capital bus replacement; instead, FTA re-allocated funding to rail projects. At this time, there is no FY2014 allocation. The State of Iowa is hesitant to backfill reduced federal funding. This view is a concession, and may lose most of the funding source long-term. The Iowa Public Transit Association (IPTA) is proposing $25 million dollars per year for the next five years from the Iowa Legislature. The loss of capital affects a public transit agency’s ability to maintain service levels or to provide new services. Most of the money available must be spent to maintain old, worn out equipment. A balance is necessary along with more creativity to become self-sustaining using both federal and state funding. An example is the procurement of used buses.

Non-passenger Revenues 6.0%

$247,660.91

Total = $4,069,709.98

Challenges & Goals

The greatest challenge is access to capital for bus replacement.

Implementing performance measures that matter are critical to ensure accurate analysis of decision making. Examples include tracking the number and type of passengers, on- time route completions, the cost per mile of revenue operations, and the overall operating cost per passenger.

To provide safe high quality service and return on investment to the taxpayer. Provide improved customer service with new route presentation and bus stop information.

Services

A public transit system is a commitment to support mobility and economic opportunity for the entire community. It allows workers optional access to jobs when a car might be out of reach. It provides continued independence and a connection for older residents to family, friends, and to community services.

CITY OF SIOUX CITY REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION

MEETING DATE: December 22, 2014 ACTION ITEM # 6A FROM: Renae Billings, Economic Development Specialist

SUBJECT: Resolution approving and accepting Economic Regions Development Initia- tives Grant Agreement No. 15-RMG-11 between the City of Sioux City and Iowa Economic Development Authority in the amount of $15,700.00 for the purpose of regional entrepreneurial development efforts.

Department Finance City City Reviewed By: x x x x Director Department Attorney Manager

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests the City Council approve and accept an Economic Regions Devel- opment Initiatives Grant Agreement with IEDA to be used for regional entrepreneurial development efforts.

DISCUSSION: Background Over the past couple of years, city staff, along with local service providers and entrepreneurs, have made significant efforts to increase the entrepreneurial activity in our region and build a supportive culture that encourages people to take risks and start new business ventures. Due to these efforts, our region’s entrepreneurial community is growing, as well as getting recognized by organizations throughout the state.

Earlier this year, the University of Northern Iowa’s Business and Community Service Division selected our region to launch a new initiative to support and encourage entrepreneurship and startup businesses. Since then, UNI has begun collaborating with regional economic development groups in Iowa’s Monona, Plymouth and Woodbury counties as part of this multi-year project.

This Regional Entrepreneurship Project is provided through a grant to UNI as part of the US Economic Development Administration (EDA) University Center Program. The goal of the project is to work with regional leaders interested in growing more startup businesses and en- hancing the region’s efforts to foster a supportive culture, business and technical assistance, networking and access to capital for entrepreneurship.

Regional Marketing Group Grant While the primary work of the Regional Entrepreneurship Project itself will be provided through UNI, in anticipation of UNI’s selection of our region for the project, the local economic development organizations worked together to complete an application for IEDA’s Economic Regions Development Initiatives Grant. One of the eligible categories for financial assistance under this grant program is the establishment of an approved entrepreneurial initiative. Funds

received from the grant will be used to support new marketing and services identified by the project. Our region’s proposed activities, as submitted in our application, include: promotion of the region as an entrepreneurial hub; market available services and resources; assist entrepreneurs in forming networks; provide specialized educational opportunities and technical assistance/training; coordinate regional entrepreneurship services and expand resources.

The match required for this grant is one dollar of local funds for every two dollars received from IEDA. The City of Sioux City, Woodbury County, The Siouxland Initiative, the Le Mars Area Chamber of Commerce and Monona County have all committed to contributing local matching funds in a total amount of $7,850. In turn, IEDA intends to award the City of Sioux City on behalf of our region in the amount not to exceed $15,700.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: The match required for this grant is one dollar of local funds for every two dollars received from the IEDA. The City will contribute $2,000 of matching funds, with the remaining funds being provided by the other participating economic development organizations.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN: To expand development opportunities, develop the resources to support economic growth, and develop new business sites.

ALTERNATIVES: None recommended.

CITY OF SIOUX CITY REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION

MEETING DATE: December 22, 2014 ACTION ITEM # 6B Marty Dougherty, Economic Development FROM: Jade Dundas, Public Works

SUBJECT: Resolution approving and accepting Revitalize Iowa’s Sound Economy (RISE) Grant Agreement No. 2015-R-008 between the City of Sioux City and the Iowa Department of Transportation for the Construction of Alicia Avenue in the Southbridge Business Park

Department Finance City City Reviewed By: x x x x Director Department Attorney Manager

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests Council approve the “Revitalize Iowa’s Sound Economy” (RISE) Grant Agreement between the City and the Iowa Department of Transportation for the construction of Alicia Avenue in the Southbridge Business Park in connection with the Trinity Rail Maintenance expansion project.

DISCUSSION: TrinityRail Maintenance, Inc. The City and its regional partners have been working with TrinityRail Maintenance on the development of a 120-acre rail maintenance operation which will include several buildings and significant rail track construction. The project will create 250 new jobs and represents a capital investment of approximately $30 million.

TrinityRail proposes to locate on the former 27 Flags Golf Course site in the Southbridge Business Park. The development of this site will require the paving and widening of Alicia Av- enue, located on the east side of the site for access to the site and to the new City rail yard. The company’s commitment to expand on the site provided an opportunity for the City to apply for a grant from the Iowa Department of Transportation’s RISE program to help cover costs of the street.

RISE Award The City of Sioux City has been awarded $710,381 from the Iowa DOT RISE Grant program to assist with the construction of Alicia Avenue. The award is an “Immediate Opportunity” grant which is based on the projected job creation and as such represents 80% of RISE-eligible costs. The IDOT Commission approved the grant on November 4, 2014. Note: the construction of Alicia Avenue will include water and sewer utilities, which are not eligible for RISE funds and are budgeted for separately.

Southbridge Business Park Background: For several years, the City of Sioux City has invested substantially in the development of infrastructure in the Southbridge Business Park. Southbridge Drive and 225th Street have been completed, the Southbridge water plant is online, and the NIPCO electric substation is opera-

tional. Construction is well-underway on the drop and pull rail yard. These investments have contributed to both the recent announcement of the TrinityRail Maintenance facility to be constructed and the tremendous growth of Sabre Industries.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: Acceptance of the award will allow the City to utilize the RISE grant funding of $710,381.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN: This action supports the Strategic Plan goals to develop Sioux City into a leading Iowa business destination, invest in infrastructure to retain current businesses, as well as to grow a vibrant and balanced economy.

CITY OF SIOUX CITY REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION

MEETING DATE: December 22, 2014 ACTION ITEM # 7A FROM: Chris Myres, Economic Development Specialist

SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing and approving a First Amendment to Contract for Sale of Land for Private Redevelopment and First Amendment to As- sessment Agreement with Buehler Development, LLC (5350 Al Haynes Drive)

Department Finance City City Reviewed By: x x x x Director Department Attorney Manager

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests Council approve the above resolution.

DISCUSSION:

Background In 2011, the City entered into a development agreement and minimum assessment agreement with Buehler Development which is the real estate holding company for Lift Solutions. In the development agreement, the City provided land and a 70% tax rebate for a five year period. In the minimum assessment agreement, Buehler Development agreed to an assessment of at least $650,000 for ten years. Lift Solutions has since constructed a quality building on the site and has continued to grow its business.

Agreement Amendment The proposed amendment is a “housekeeping” item to allow the company to receive the full value of assistance as originally intended. The intended purpose of the tax rebates in the development agreement was to provide five years of property tax rebates at a rate of 70% of taxes paid on the company’s new building.

However, due to a variety of factors, including delays in completion of the new facility, the first year’s tax payments eligible for rebates under the agreement only included taxes on bare ground ($138,000 in value, $5,234 taxes due), not the new facility ($840,500 in value, $30,494 taxes due). The proposed amendment to these agreements will allow the developer/company to obtain the full value of the property tax rebates as originally intended.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of this agreement will allow the developer to obtain the full value of the property tax rebates as intended when originally approved by Council in 2011.

ALTERNATIVES: None proposed.

SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing and approving a First Amendment to Development Agreement with Consumers Supply, LLC (2901 Murphy Drive)

Department Finance City City Reviewed By: x x x x Director Department Attorney Manager

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests Council approve the above resolution.

DISCUSSION:

Background In 2012, the City entered into a development agreement with Consumers Supply Distributing, LLC to provide financial assistance with the company’s purchase of the former United States Postal Distribution Facility located at 2901 Murphy Drive. In the agreement, the City provided tax rebates on a ten-year graduated scale (similar to the Iowa Industrial Tax Exemption schedule). Consumers Supply has since renovated the facility to meet their needs and significantly grown its business on the site.

Agreement Amendment The proposed amendment is a “housekeeping” item to allow the company to receive the full value of assistance as originally intended. The intended purpose of the tax rebates in the development agreement was to provide ten years of property tax rebates based on a graduated scale on the company’s new building.

However, due to a variety of factors, eligibility for the tax rebates came into effect prior to the building becoming taxable (as a federal building, prior to Consumers Supply’s purchase of the building, the property was tax exempt). The proposed amendment to this agreement will allow the developer/company to obtain the full value of the property tax rebates as originally intended.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of this agreement will allow the developer to obtain the full value of the property tax rebates as intended when originally approved by Council in 2012.

ALTERNATIVES: None proposed.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution No. 2012-0436 passed and approved by the City Council on June 25, 2012, the City of Sioux City and Consumers Supply, LLC entered into a Development Agreement which was recorded on July 20, 2012 in Roll 724, Images 8-22 relating to the real estate located at 2901 Murphy Drive which provided property tax rebates to Consumers Supply, LLC; and

WHEREAS, the aforementioned Development Agreement authorized a series of property tax rebates to be paid to Consumers Supply, LLC on a graduated scale for a ten year period beginning with the tax payment payable March 2013; and

WHEREAS, it is acknowledged by all parties to the Development Agreement that the intent of the Development Agreement was to allow for the rebates to include property taxes payable on Consumers Supply, LLC’s newly purchased facility at 2901 Murphy Drive; and

WHEREAS, the due date for the first property tax payment on the new facility did not align accu- rately with the payment schedule for the first property tax rebate payment causing Consumers Supply, LLC to lose the first year of tax rebates; and

WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend said Development Agreement to allow for the full intended value of the property tax rebates to be realized by Consumers Supply, LLC; and

WHEREAS, there is attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof, a First Amend- ment to Development Agreement providing for the extension of the terms of the Development Agreement, which First Amendment to Development Agreement should be approved as to form and content.

SUBJECT: Resolution approving and accepting a Bill of Sale, Assignment and Conveyance from Sabre Communications Corporation to the City of Sioux City, Iowa for office furniture located at 2101 Murray Street

Department Finance City City Reviewed By: x x x x Director Department Attorney Manager

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests the City Council approve a resolution accepting the Bill of Sale with Sabre Communications Corporation to purchase the office furniture located at 2101 Murray Street.

DISCUSSION: Background Sabre is developing major new industrial facilities in the Southbridge Business Park. The new 150-acre campus has allowed Sabre to greatly expand their capabilities and production capacity in the communications tower and electric transmission equipment industries. Construc- tion of the project began in June, 2012, with the first phase including seven new buildings.

On May 24, 2012, the City Council took steps to approve the overall Sabre expansion project, including various agreements for the sale and lease of the new development site. These agreements included the purchase by the City of Sabre’s former facility located at 2101 Mur- ray Street. The Murray Street site includes a 44,840 square foot building on 16 acres. The City agreed to lease the facility back to Sabre through the end of 2013 for their continued use during the construction of their new campus facility.

As the company continued to experience significant additional business growth and a need for space, they requested a continuation of their lease of the City-owned property through the end of 2014. Sabre’s lease payment to the City is $13,600 per month, with the company also responsible for taxes, insurance, and utilities. Sabre has now completed Phase II of their expansion which included a large addition onto the primary manufacturing building and construction of an additional accessories building, and no longer needs to lease the Murray Street facility.

Proposal Sabre has now transitioned its operations and employees from the Murray Street location to their new campus in Southbridge, and the company is no longer in need of the office furniture that currently occupies the Murray Street facility. Sabre has presented the City with the option to purchase some of the office furniture at a considerable discount to use as an asset in mar-

keting the facility to attract prospective companies. The furniture includes multiple desks, cre- denzas, book shelves, and work stations. A complete list of furniture can be found in Schedule A of the Bill of Sale.

Staff proposes that the City purchase the existing furniture from Sabre for a price of $39,000, the equivalent of approximately three months’ rent.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City will reimburse Sabre approximately three months of lease payments, for a total of $39,000.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN: To expand development opportunities, develop the resources to support economic growth, and develop new business sites.

ALTERNATIVES: None recommended.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests Council approve Change Order No. 1 to the contract with The Pub- lic Restroom Company of Reno, Nevada in the amount of $25,377.18 for conversion of originally designed pit restrooms to traditional sewer and water feed facilities in connection with the Milwaukee Railroad Shops Historic District – Visitors Center Restroom Facility Project (Project No. SB-IA-7057(664)-2T-97).

DISCUSSION: A contract in the amount of $148,223.00 was awarded to The Public Restroom Company of Reno, Nevada on August 12, 2013 under Resolution No. 2013-000611 to construct restrooms with pit holding tanks for the Milwaukee Railroad Shops Historic District. During the plan review for the siting of these facilities it was determined that a pitted toilet could not be constructed due to the location of the facility in the Big Sioux Flood Plain. A modification to the plans was made and a change order has been approved by the Iowa Department of Transpor- tation.

If Council will recall there is no City funding invested in this project, just staff time administer- ing the funding and the contract paperwork. As part of the grant acceptance City Council had to appoint a Local Project Administrator. By the requirements and direction of Iowa Depart- ment of Transportation that Local Project Administrator (LPA) needs to be the one to sign the Iowa Department of Transportation’s change orders. The Resolution will direct the LPA to execute the IDOT form. Council will direct the City Manager to execute the City Form.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: This project is funded by the Iowa Department of Transportation National Scenic Byways Grant and the Siouxland Historic Railroad Association. No City funds are invested in this project; however, staff time will need to be committed to administer the project and distribute the funding.

Resolution amending the Community Development Department’s authorized payroll complement by adding one senior planner position and deleting the positions of planner and planning intern. SUBJECT: Resolution amending the Public Works Department’s authorized payroll complement by adding one Water Plant Operator position and deleting the position of Water Plant Operator-In-Training

Department Finance City City Reviewed By: x x x Director Department Attorney Manager

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests Council approve the addition of a Senior Planner position to the Community Development Department and the addition of a Water Plant Operator position to the Public Works Department.

DISCUSSION: The Planning Division is currently made up of one Senior Planner and two Planners. As the Division continues to complete more Planning projects and process more Planning and Zon- ing applications, the work load and daily responsibilities are such that the addition of a second Senior Planner is needed to handle those responsibilities. This position will be the project manager for the implementation of the new Zoning Code and Sign Regulations. This position will also be the project manager for the upcoming Comprehensive Plan update and housing study. We expect that this position will be filled with an internal candidate, and as such, we would eliminate one of the existing Planner positions, as well as the unfilled Planning Intern position from the budget.

The Water Treatment Plant currently has budgeted staffing for five Operators and one Opera- tor-In-Training. The Operator–In-Training position was created due to difficulty in attracting candidates who have certification at the Grade II level. With this position, we were able to hire candidates with an interest in the field and then provide them with the necessary experience to be able to achieve Grade II certification. The individual currently in the Operator-In-Training position has achieved certification and as such, we would like to make an Operator position available in order to appropriately compensate him for the use of his skills and level of certification. We would eliminate the existing Operator-In-Training position from the budget. Addi- tionally, by having another certified Operator, there exists the opportunity to reduce overtime for coverage during absences due to vacation, illness, etc.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Planner position is a salary grade S 18, with the range being $52,042 - $72,859. The Senior Planner is a salary grade S 19, with the range being $55,165 - $77,231. There is over- lapping between the two salary ranges, with a difference of $4,372 between the top of the two ranges. The funds set aside for the Planning Intern wages will also help to off-set the costs of this change.

The current top end hourly rate for Water Plant Operator-In-Training is $23.4553 and step 1 for the Water Plant Operator is $24.3267. The difference in pay comes to $1,812 per year. We estimate a cost savings of overtime to be up to $10,000 per year.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Progressive Leadership Vision We will use formal and informal methods to engage the Council, our employees, and our customers to promote enhanced organizational engagement and commitment to our shared vision.

ALTERNATIVES: Defer approval of these position.

SUBJECT: Resolution approving Change Order No. 1, Change Order No. 2, accepting the work, and authorizing final payment to Mark Albenesius Inc. of South Sioux City, Nebraska for the 1819 South Lakeport Emergency Sanitary Sew- er Repair Project.

Department Finance City City Reviewed By: x X X Director Department Attorney Manager

DISCUSSION: This project included repairing a sanitary sewer failure that resulted from the settlement of a utility pole located directly above the sanitary sewer. The utility pole in question was large enough and contained enough electric lines that the cost of relocation would exceed the cost of redirecting the sewer underneath it. This repair required two new manholes, paving replacement, and new sanitary sewer. As a result of the immediate need for emergency repairs to preserve the health and safety of the public, the City Engineer and City Manager signed a ‘Finding of Necessity’ per Iowa Code, Chapter 384.103, which authorizes the City Manager to “accept, enter into, and make payment under a contract for emergency repairs without holding a public hearing and advertising for bids, and the provisions of Chapter 26 [Public Construc- tion Bidding] do not apply.”

Contractors were notified on September 25, 2014, and the project was bid on October 1, 2014. Two (2) bids were received for this project. The bids are as follows:

Company City, State Base Bid Mark Albenesius Inc. South Sioux City, Nebraska $52,750.00 Sioux City Engineering Sioux City, Iowa $54,135.00 Engineer’s Estimate $22,925.00

The base bid, submitted by Mark Albenesius Inc. of South Sioux City, Nebraska is 130.0% or $29,825 above the Engineer’s Estimate of $22,925.00.

The contract was awarded to Mark Albenesius Inc. of South Sioux City, Nebraska on October 9, 2014 under the authority of the ‘Finding of Necessity’ for a contract amount of $52,750.00.

The work has been completed and approved by City staff.

Below is a summary of the project:

Original Contract Amount: $52,750.00

Change Order No. 1 Summary: $11,944.25 This change order was to accommodate increased trench separation from the existing utility pole at the location of the repair. Representatives of Mid-American Energy Company advised increased separation from the utility pole to ensure public safety when conducting the sewer repairs. This in turn caused increased paving removals, replacement, and sewer length. The paving and pipe size were both upsized to eight inches to better match existing site conditions. Ten calendar days were added to the project to address these changes.

Change Order No. 2 Summary: ($1,580.00) This change order was a quantity adjustment deduct to reflect the actual quantities used.

Final Construction Cost: $63,114.25 The final construction cost for this project is $63,114.25, which is 19.6% above the original contract amount.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: This project is funded using sewer funds under CIP 539-103 “Annual Unspecified Sanitary Sewers”. The project currently has an available balance of $23,918.91.

DISCUSSION: City Council approved a HOME loan in the amount of $450,000 on April 19, 1999, an Eco- nomic Development Loan in the amount of $380,000 on January 24, 2000, and a CDBG loan in the amount of $75,000 on December 6, 1999, to Call Terminal, L.P. The project, located at 1106 4th Street, has 48 units, 36 of which are HOME units. Based upon a request from the developer, on November 18, 2013, City Council approved a Resolution of Intent to enter into an agreement with Call Terminal, L.P., an Iowa Limited Partnership, to restructure the HOME loan and Economic Development loan and accept full payment of the CDBG loan. This would

allow the project to qualify for tax credits and HOME funds from the Iowa Finance Authority to convert some of the commercial space into 21 units of affordable rental housing units. Call Terminal, L.P. is now ready to move forward with the actual agreements and additional requested changes are outline below. A copy of their request is attached.

On November 18, 2013, City Council communicated a desire to have a portion of the Call Terminal Parking Lot converted to metered/public parking as part of the loan restructuring. Staff has met with Doug LaBounty, representative for Call Terminal. He advised they would be willing to make eight spaces available for public parking on a full-time basis. See memo attached confirming this.

Re: Call Terminal, L.P.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the $450,000 loan restructuring for Call Terminal, L.P. you requested our representation as to the source of funds for the loan used to fund the costs of rehabilitation of the building located in Sioux City, Iowa (the "Project").

The Partnership has represented to us that it: (i) intends to claim a low-income housing credit under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for the construction expenditures funded by the Loan; (ii) anticipates qualifying for a seventy percent (70%) present value credit with respect to the construction/rehabilitation expenditures; and (iii) will not be entitled to such credit if the construction is federally subsidized under the provisions of Sec- tion 42(i)(2) of the Code.

We hereby advise you that the loan made by the undersigned was funded by HOME funds and was not funded or subsidized, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the proceeds of any obligation where the interest is exempt from tax under Section 103 of the Code.

Sincerely,

Robert K. Padmore City Manager

BUILDING AND HOUSING CODE BOARD Regular Meeting October 7, 2014

The regular meeting of the Building and Housing Code Board was held on Tuesday, October 7, 2014, at 8:05 A.M., in the Third Floor Conference Room in City Hall.

Board Members Present: Board Members Absent: Staff Present: Guests Present: Doug Rose Dennis Dufault Darrel Bullock Steve Bruening Matt Thompson Marge Hollingshead Willie Delfs Secretary Barney Pottebaum Brad Bergstrom Mark Corbin Ron Speckman

Meeting was called to order by Barney. Motion was made by Willie and seconded by Doug to approve the minutes of the July 1, 2014 meeting. All members present voting “aye”, motion carried.

The following applications were reviewed:

1. James M. Green – Third Class Hydronic

A motion was made by Brad and seconded by Steve that this application be approved. All members present voting “aye”, motion carried.

OLD BUSINESS:

For old business, Barney briefly discussed the bonding of CSST and how it affects electrical contractors, stating it does not fall under NEC, it falls under the IRS and IFC. He stated from the standpoint of an electrical contractor, all that is required is to provide a point of bond.

Darrel stated it does say in the NEC “gas piping”. A plumbing contractor has no business in the electrical panel. I have told inspectors in my office that it is an acceptable alternative; we have to get it done. We have to look at the cost to the homeowner as well. We need to make it safe. It still goes back to rewires.

Barney said I think the biggest thing we have is a liability issue. NEC doesn’t have a problem putting that bonding group in there.

For further business, Darrel informed the Board that he had received an e-mail concerning enforcement of the codes as conducted by Inspection Services Division.

Darrel also informed passed out the recent commercial building permit fees and stated this was something brought up last year, but I didn’t do anything with it last year. 2012 was the last amendment to the commercial building permits and I don’t want to get behind again. He stated he wasn’t looking at a big increase, approximately 2% across the board to commercial building permits.

He then passed out the current fees for residential permits and stated the last time we increased those was to the duplexes and in looking at those fees, I don’t see a lot of changes there. He then passed out the current rental registration fees and stated the last change on these were back in 2008.

Darrel then informed the Board that the State of Iowa is moving towards adoption of the 2015 IBC and IRC.

NEW BUSINESS

None.

No further business to discuss, meeting was adjourned at 9:15 a.m. on motion by Steve and second by Barney. All members present voting “aye”, motion carried.

CITY OF SIOUX CITY REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION

MEETING DATE: December 22, 2014 ACTION ITEM # 15 FROM: Jeff Hanson, Community Development Operations Manager (CRM)

Hearing and Ordinance amending Chapter 25.86 entitled “Flood Plain Man- agement and Overlay Zones” of the Sioux City Municipal Code to adopt the SUBJECT: revised flood insurance rate map as part of the official zoning map for Sioux City. (Petitioner: City of Sioux City). The Planning and Zoning Com- mission recommends approval of this item. (File No. 2014-0100).

Department Finance De- City City Man- Reviewed By: Director partment Attorney ager

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests City Council approve the requested zoning ordinance text amendment, subject to the following findings.

Planning and Zoning Commission: Agenda Item 2014-0100: Requested zoning ordinance text amendment to adopt the revised Flood Insurance Rate Map as part of the Official Zoning Map for Sioux City. (Petitioner: City of Sioux City)

O’Neill (Calligan) moved to recommend to the City Council approval of this item. Motion Carried. 6-0-0 (Yes: Ross, Krage, Calligan, Stewart, O’Neill, Beukelman / No: 0/ Ab- stained: 0)

Findings of Fact: 1) The Flood Plain Management Code must be updated to reflect the new FIRM maps, or Sioux City will not be able to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). 2) The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has reviewed and approved the requested text amendment. 3) The amendments make the Flood Plain Management Code meet the standards of the NFIP. 4) The applicant’s proposal conforms to the minimum Municipal Code requirements.

Recommended Conditions of Approval: 1) None

DISCUSSION: See Analysis

FINANCIAL IMPACT: N/A

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN: The subject request is an example of the Infrastructure Vision of the Strategic Plan. We will invest in infrastructure to attract and retain business and increase Sioux City’s quality of life.

ALTERNATIVES: Not approve the text amendment. This option would have staggering negative effects if the City’s residents and businesses were denied access to the National Flood Insurance Pro- gram. Beyond the casualty loss exposure if the flood insurance were not there to help when a flood occurs, any properties in the flood plain would lose marketability because no federally- insured financial institution can loan money on them unless they have flood insurance coverage.

ATTACHMENTS: Attachment A: Ordinance Attachment B: Flood Zone Table Attachment C: Flood Maps

BACKGROUND REPORT: The City of Sioux City, petitioner, is requesting a zoning ordinance text amendment to adopt the revised Flood Insurance Rate Map as part of the Official Zoning Map for Sioux City and amend Chapter 25.86 Flood Plain Management.

FEMA has issued new Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) for Woodbury County that will become effective on February 10, 2015 for Perry Creek and March 2, 2015 for the Floyd River. FEMA requires that the City provide evidence that we have adopted Flood Plain Management Regulations that conform to the standards set forth in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations.

It is a requirement to participate in the NFIP that the City of Sioux City has a floodplain management code consistent with the NFIP. The below changes have been approved by the Iowa DNR and will ensure compliance with State and Federal requirements.

We must adopt an amendment to Chapter 25.86 that both adopts the revised FIRM maps and makes the needed adjustments in the provisions of the regulations to bring them into alignment with the NFIP regulation requirements.

ANALYSIS: The proposed changes to the FIRM maps are to the Perry Creek and Floyd River floodplains. The Perry Creek changes are in relation to further work on the Perry Creek levee system, and the amendments to the existing panels and do not require revisions to the Flood Management ordinance. These panel revisions will reduce the number of properties in the flood hazard area from 259 to 30. The changes to the Floyd River panels are in relation to the certification of the levee system. The area was previously mapped as protected by levee, and the new maps will show 100 year ponding districts. The number of properties impacted by this mapping revision are 452. A reference for the flood zones can be found in Attachment A and maps showing the changes to the FIRM maps can be found in Attachment B.

The Flood Plain Management Code was updated in 2011 for the County wide update of FIRM maps. This update has also been reflected in the Zoning and Sign Code rewrite, however due to the timing requirement Staff propose to update the existing Zoning Code to reflect these changes.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests the City Council authorize the recommended changes to the City’s conduct in parks ordinance.

DISCUSSION: Staff is proposing to amend Section 16.04.700 to decrease the amount of time certain city parks are open to the public in the later evening hours. Various complaints were received by the City Council relating to activities that were causing disruptions to neighborhoods surrounding the parks after 9:00 p.m.

The proposed changes would shorten park hours from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. in all parks except for: Riverside Park, Bacon Creek Park, Lewis Park, Leif Erickson Park, Sertoma Park, Anderson Dance Pavilion, Grandview Park Rose Garden and Bandshell, and certain portions of Chris Larsen Park. The park hours of 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. would remain the same for these parks.

Additionally, the hours for Floyd Valley and Green Valley golf courses would remain from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Also, athletic complexes would be allowed to be open for scheduled events from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. If scheduled events are not taking place, the complexes would be open from 7:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m.

The City Manager has the discretion to waive prohibitions contained in the ordinance and to give specific permission to individuals or groups requesting to use parks or trail areas outside of the time restrictions.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.

BACKGROUND REPORT: The City has received a request from Ronald Clausen to approve the final plat of Clausen Acres Subdivision, a 26.3 acre, three lot, residential subdivision located northeast of the intersection of Buchanan Avenue and 155th Street which is within the City of Sioux City’s two-mile extra territorial subdivision jurisdiction (ETJ) in unincorporated Woodbury County. A general area map is attached for your review.

ANALYSIS: As stated, the petitioner is requesting final plat approval for a 26.3-acre tract of land at the northwest corner of the intersection of Buchanan Avenue and 155th Street. Essentially “L” shaped, the tract has 1,311 LF of frontage on 155th Street and 539 LF of frontage on Buchanan Avenue. 155th Street terminates at the east line of the subdivision extended south.

The property already has a residence on it (1543 155th Street) which will occupy the proposed Lot 2. Lot 2 will contain 2.46 acres (plus .311 acres of right-of-way). Lot 1 will become a new building lot containing 3 acres (plus 1.174 acres of right-of-way). Lot 3, the remainder of the property, will contain 18.884 acres (plus .479 acres of right-of-way) which will be used for agriculture of future development.

Access to Lot 2 is presently from 155th Street and that will not change.

Access to Lots 1 and 3 will come from Buchanan Avenue, though access points to 155th Street have been identified as well.

With one exception, all requirements of the Sioux City Subdivision Ordinance are either met or are nonapplicable. Staff has not yet received the voluntary annexation agreement as is required by Section 24.10.040 of the Subdivision Ordinance

24.10.040 Final plat procedures. 1. (2) For extraterritorial subdivisions plats, an agreement signed by the property owner, binding future owners to petition for voluntary annexation of the property at such time as annexation becomes permissible under the Code of Iowa.

The plat should not receive final approval until the annexation agreement is signed and received.

Resolution accepting and approving the final plat of McCrystal Addition, Plymouth County, Iowa. (Petitioner: James D McCrystal). (File No. 2014- SUBJECT: 0094). (The Planning and Zoning Commission Recommends approval of this item).

Department Finance City City Reviewed By: x x x Director Department Attorney Manager

ATTACHMENTS: Attachment A: Resolution Attachment B: General Area Map Attachment C: Plat Attachment D: Present and Future Ownership Maps Attachment E: Letter from Rehan Attachment F: Application

BACKGROUND REPORT: The City has received a request from James McCrystal to approve the final plat of McCrystal Addition, Plymouth County, Iowa, a 39.5 acre, two lot residential/agricultural subdivision located on Grouse Avenue, (Rustin Street extended north) about 1,700 feet north of the Sioux City city limits. The property is within the City of Sioux City’s two-mile extra territorial subdivision jurisdiction (ETJ) in unincorporated Plymouth County. A general area map is attached for your review.

ANALYSIS: Mr. McCrystal presently owns two parcels of land: • The westerly tract is described as the: S 1/2 NW 1/4 SE ¼ SEC 34 TWP 90 RANGE 47 (20 acres) • The easterly tract is described as the S 1/2 NE 1/4 SE ¼ SEC 34 TWP 90 RANGE 47 (19.5 acres)

As per the plat the westerly tract will be renamed Out Lot A and the westerly 211 feet of the easterly tract will be split off and added to Out Lot A . Out Lot A will be sold to Mr. Watkinson to the north and will be attached to the rest of his property. The remainder of the easterly tract will be named Lot 1 and will be retained by Mr. McCrystal. The present and future ownership patterns are shown on Attachment C.

Presently all of the Watkinson property accesses a public street (Grouse Avenue) via Goebel Drive which is a private street and McCrystal’s property accesses Grouse Avenue directly

This plat creates a lot (Outlot A) which technically has no frontage on a public street. The creation of lots with no frontage on a public street violates Section 24.10.060(4)(b) of the Sioux City Subdivision Ordinance which states: 24.10.060(4)(b). Each lot in a subdivision shall have at least 25 feet of frontage on a public street right-of-way. Access can not be solely from an alley.

The creation of lots with no street frontage also violates Section 6-B of the Plymouth County Subdivision Ordinance which states: Every Lot shall have access to a public or private street.

This lack of frontage is addressed by designating the subject lot as an Out Lot. Please note the attached letter from Bob Rehan that explains the impact of designating a tract as an Out Lot vs.

designating it as “Lot 1 or Lot 2” and describes how such a designation meets the intent (if not letter) of the Sioux City Subdivision Ordinance. Staff concurs with Mr. Rehan’s analysis.

Staff believes that the proposed plat meets all other relevant requirements of the subdivision ordinance. Mr. McCrystal has submitted all other documents necessary for plat approval including the voluntary annexation agreement.

Mr. Brent Nelson [email protected] City Planning and Zoning Office P.O. Box 447 Sioux City, IA 51102

RE: McCrystal Addition, a Minor Subdivision to Plymouth County, Iowa

Dear Brent:

This follows up the meeting held in your office on November 14, 2014 attended by the two of us and Alan Fagan. Following the meeting I have looked into the issue of whether Outlot “A” as shown on the Plat of McCrystal Addition violates the City ordinance with respect to frontage and/or access (Sections 4B and 6B).

The term “Outlot” is not defined under Iowa Code Chapter 354 or 355 nor is it found as a defined term in the zoning ordinance of the City of Sioux City. However, persons who work with subdivision plats are familiar with the common usage of the term. Historically, Outlots appear on many recorded subdivision plats in Woodbury County. Such examples would include Nolan Addition to Sloan, Walpole Addition to Sloan, Logan Golf Course Addition to Moville, Sunny- brook Plaza, Country Club View 2nd, Deerview Addition and Dunn Family Addition.

Black’s Law Dictionary refers to the term “Outlot”, and a search for definitions of the term indicate that other jurisdictions define the term as being consistent with the way that “Outlots” are utilized under recorded subdivision plats in Woodbury County. Outlots are non-conforming lots which often have no frontage or access as “stand alone” parcels.

The request being made of the City of Sioux City to approve McCrystal Addition, Plym- outh County, Iowa is not intended to conflict with the Sioux City Zoning Ordinance and I do not believe that it does after review of previously recorded subdivision plats in Woodbury County.

Thank you for your consideration.

Very truly yours,

Robert J. Rehan

ANALYSIS: Triple M Realty wishes to add the subject 2.9 acre lot to their existing 37,700 sq. ft. tract for business expansion uses. The large tract of land lying north of the Northpark Industrial Park Plat was previously split (for Northpark 2nd) therefore this plat is required.

BACKGROUND REPORT: The petitioner, DLG Properties LLC, requests the vacation of the north half of the north-south alley and the east half of the east west alley in the block bounded by Wesley Parkway, Cook Street, West 8th Street, and Omaha Street. A general area map is attached for your review.

ANALYSIS: As stated, DLG Properties LLC is requesting to vacate the north half of the north-south alley and the east half of the east west alley in the block bounded by Wesley Parkway, Cook Street, West 8th Street, and Omaha Street. The petitioner intends to add the alley right of way to their property for future development on the site. The property is currently zoned RG-28 and will need to be rezoned to or zoned commercially during the zoning ordinance rewrite.

The following criteria were the basis for the previously approved right-of-way vacation:

• Cities may vacate streets and alleys but must consider the interests of the public. Public notice was mailed to properties within 260 feet. No opposing responses were received.

• Streets and alleys should not be vacated for the benefit of private persons if it will probably seriously inconvenience the public. The alleys are not improved and do not appear to be in use by abutting properties or the public.

• The vacation of a street or alley should not deprive the complaining property owner of convenient and reasonable access to or from his property to a substantial degree. There have been no complaining property owners. The petitioner owns the majority of surrounding properties.

• The City Council must determine whether the street or alley is necessary for public use and convenience and whether they are sufficiently traveled to justify maintenance at public expense. The alleys are not improved and vacating will not impact the transportation system.

• The right to reasonable ingress and egress to abutting properties may not be totally de- stroyed; however, as long as one reasonable means of ingress and egress to a lot remains it is not so adversely affected. The subject vacation does not eliminate access to any abutting properties.

• Non-abutting owners have far less standing to challenge a vacation. There have been no responses from non-abutting property owners.

EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USE: RG-28 ; Vacant ROW

EXISTING ZONING REQUIREMENTS: The RG-28 zone is intended to provide and maintain residential areas of medium density which may include a mixture of housing types ranging from single-family detached to multiple dwell- ings; increased bulk and density is permitted.

PROPOSED ZONING REQUIREMENTS: N/A

SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USE: North: ML ; Warehouse South: ML ; Auto Service East: RG-28 ; Single Family Residential West: RG-28 ; Single Family Residential

DEPARTMENT COMMENTS CenturyLink: CenturyLink has lines in the alleys and will require easements.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 2005 Comprehensive Plan indicates this area as “Mixed-Use Commercial”. “Mixed-Use Commercial” is defined as areas that provide a general merchandising and convenience destination for residents of the City. It can include a wide range of commercial services such as big box and strip retail centers, restaurants, fast food and dine-in, and office uses, as well as higher density housing and institutional uses.

URBAN RENEWAL / URBAN REVITALIZATION / TIF: The subject property is locatedin the Parkway sub-area of the CBD Urban Renewal Area.

SUBAREA / CORRIDOR PLAN: The subject property is located in the Hamilton Corridor Study.

FLOOD PLAIN: The subject property is not located in a flood plain.

CITIZEN RESPONSE: Twenty three notices were sent within the required timeframe. No responses were received.

ALTERNATIVES: None.

ATTACHMENTS: Attachment A: Ordinance Attachment B: General Area Map Attachment C: Site Plan Attachment D: Site Photos Attachment E: Application

BACKGROUND REPORT: The City has received a request from the Gospel Mission, petitioner, for site plan approval for the property located at 500 Bluff Street. The proposal will allow the petitioner to construct a four unit men with children shelter on the property. A general area map is attached for your review.

At the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on December 9, 2014 the Commission voted 6-0 to approve the site plan as shown. The petitioner spoke on the item stating that construction is not planned until April so that building permits will fall under the new flood maps going into effect on March 2, 2015. No one else spoke on the item.

ANALYSIS: As stated, the petitioner is requesting to construct a men with children shelter on the property at 500 Bluff Street. The portion of the site where the building will be constructed is vacant. On the northwest portion of the site is the main facility for the Gospel Mission, which is a non-profit agency that provides meals and shelter for the homeless among other services. The main facility can house up to 84 men who do not have children. A women’s shelter is on a separate site. The site plan was reviewed by the Development Review Committee (DRC) on November 20, 2014 with no major problems identified. Because the property is zoned BG-C, site plan approval is required by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council.

The site plan shows a new four unit building on the property. Under BG zoning, residences are allowed subject to the RG-20 zoning requirements. The units would house men and children for temporary periods. Transitional service facilities are an allowed use in the RG-20 zone. No changes are proposed to the northwestern portion of the zoning lot.

The site plan shows some existing landscaping along Wesley Parkway and within the site. En- trances to the units face northeast toward W. 6th Street and the existing parking lot. Sidewalks are shown from the existing parking lot to the units and along Wesley Parkway. The rear of the building faces an existing auto parts store. All setbacks meet the RG-20 district requirements.

No additional parking will be added to the site. There are two parking lots that currently serve the main Gospel Mission facility. The existing main facility can house up to 84 men without children at one time and has about 20 employees; however, not all 20 employees work during the same shift. Transitional service facilities require one parking stall for each two beds. The site plan shows 61 stalls on the site. Based on the use of the property as a homeless shelter where many residents would not have a car, staff feels there are an adequate number of stalls to accommodate four additional units.

EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USE: BG-C; Parking lot/vacant lot

EXISTING ZONING REQUIREMENTS: The BG zone is intended to provide business locations for retail, service and wholesale uses serving a city-wide clientele. The zone is intended to be located in areas characterized by good accessibility, including those areas which are heavily exposed to automobile traffic.

This –C zone is designed to be overlaid upon any of the business zones. This planned development overlay zone is intended to provide flexibility of site planning and shared provision of off- street parking that is not possible under regulations designed for control of individual and inde- pendent development of adjacent business properties.

PROPOSED ZONING REQUIREMENTS: N/A

SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USE: North: BG-C; Gospel Mission Thrift Store South: BG; Auto Parts Store East: BG; Vacant land/Perry Creek West: BG-C; Gospel Mission Shelter

DEPARTMENT COMMENTS MidAmerican Energy: MEC has overhead high voltage lines in the alley area here that must remain to feed existing customers. Should not conflict with proposed new building per attached plan.

URBAN RENEWAL / URBAN REVITALIZATION / TIF: The subject site plan is not located in an urban renewal or TIF district.

SUBAREA / CORRIDOR PLAN: The subject site plan is in the Hamilton Corridor Plan.

FLOOD PLAIN: The subject site plan is located in the floodplain based on current flood maps. Updated maps will go into effect in March, which do not include this property in the floodplain. Building permits would not be approved before this date unless the structure is elevated. The petitioner was notified and will not begin construction until the late spring regardless. The petitioner has nine months to begin construction once the site plan is approved.

CITIZEN RESPONSE: Twenty-five notices were sent within the required timeframe. One response was received in favor of the request.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests that the City Council conduct a public hearing and approve the proposed resolution.

Additionally, staff respectfully requests the City Council adopt the proposed ordinance.

crement financing funds for a public improvement project or adds additional land into a urban renewal area.

The proposed Amended and Restated Donner Park Urban Renewal Plan is intended to extend the Donner Park Urban Renewal Project Area with the inclusion of the Eagle Ridge Sub- Area, the tax increment financing assistance for Trinity Rail, Sabre office furniture, Buehler Development aka Lift Solutions, and the tax increment financing funds for Alicia Avenue construction. A copy of the proposed Amended and Restated Donner Park Urban Renewal Plan is attached for your review.

The Planning and Zoning Commission at their December 9, 2014 meeting reviewed and approved the proposed sub-area and Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan for the Don- ner Park Urban Renewal Area.

Also on Monday’s agenda is an ordinance amending Chapter 3.14 entitled "Amended Donner Park Urban Renewal Tax Increment District" of the Sioux City Municipal Code for the inclusion of the Eagle Ridge Sub-area and to provide that general property taxes levied and collected each year on all property located within the Eagle Ridge Sub-area be paid to a special fund.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: Expansion of the Donner Park Urban Renewal Project area will allow for the use of tax increment financing incentives in the Eagle Ridge Sub-area.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN: This action supports the Strategic Plan by improving the quality and accessibility of our infrastructure and transportation system for people and products.

ALTERNATIVES: Not recommended.

A. NATURE OF AMENDMENT

This Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan (“Plan”) has been prepared to update, modify and amend the current Urban Renewal Plan, as amended, for the Donner Park Urban Renewal Project Area ("Project Area"). The separate identities of the Sub-Areas previously established as part of the Plan will continue to be maintained and observed for those purposes which are aided by or in need of the division, but the combined areas of the several Sub-Areas shall be treated together for planning and redevelopment purposes. Among other changes, this Plan adds one new Sub-area, Eagle Ridge Sub- Area, to the Project Area. It is contemplated that additional areas, not within the Plan as so amended, may be added to the combined Project Area in the future where further- ance of planning or redevelopment objectives may be obtained.

1. Amendment Objectives.

This Plan is intended to continue to promote the development of additional commercial and industrial, as well as residential, sites in the Project Area through the expansion of the infrastructure systems and public facilities in the Project Area. The construction of such facilities is considered to be critical to achieving the objectives of this Plan and is being undertaken as a benefit to the Project Area and the City as a whole.

This Plan undertakes to continue each project Sub-Area within the overall Project Area as a combined entity, reserving the separate elements of each, but permitting the ad- vantages of combined planning and redevelopment activities.

2. Tax Increment Continuation.

The division of taxation authorized by Iowa Code Section 403.19 and the separation of incremental taxes as defined in that Section have been implemented in the existing Sub- Areas of the Project Area. Under the terms of this Plan, and conforming amendments to Chapter 3.14 of the Municipal Code of the City of Sioux City, the tax increment mecha- nism described in Chapter 3.14 shall continue in effect as to the existing Sub-Areas of the Project Area and will be extended to include the Eagle Ridge Sub-Area, with respect to the division of taxes levied and collected within the each such Sub-Area. Incremental taxes shall be determined separately with respect to each of the Sub-Areas comprising the Project Area and when collected shall be applied, subject to such liens and priorities as may exist or be from time to time provided, to reimburse the City for the costs incurred in connection with urban renewal projects undertaken in accordance with the Plan, as amended.

B. PROJECT DE- SCRIPTION

1. Boundaries of the Donner Park Urban Renewal Project Area.

The Donner Park Urban Renewal Project Area encompasses certain areas located generally south of downtown Sioux City and extending to points south of the Sioux Gateway Airport. As the Project Area has grown, the new areas being added have been designated as Sub-Areas of the Project Area. Each of the Sub-Areas is described in the following subsections of this Plan, and the legal descriptions of each Sub-Area are included in the Appendices. The boundaries of the Project Area are shown on Map 1, Boundary and Parcel.

2. Sub-Areas of the Urban Renewal Area

The Donner Park Urban Renewal Project Area consists of the following Sub- Areas, each of which is legally described in the Appendices hereto:

a. Donner Park Urban Renewal Sub-Area:

Pursuant to Resolution No. 87/T-6002 the original Donner Park Urban Renewal Area was established on December 7, 1987, and generally included an area south of Highway 20. The original area was expanded by an amendment to the Plan adopted in September 1988 to include areas generally north of Highway 20 between Interstate 29 and the easterly City corporate limits. The area was determined to be a slum, blighted and economic development area under Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa. Shortly thereafter, this expanded area was designated as a tax increment district for the purpose of financing the cost of public improvements in the Urban Renewal Area.

b. West Donner Park Urban Renewal Sub-Area:

Pursuant to Resolution No. 91/T-9955 on June 10, 1991, the West Don- ner Park Urban Renewal Sub-Area was established as part of Amend- ment No. 2 to the Plan approved in June 1991. This Sub-Area is located generally between Interstate 29 and the Missouri River, from the north line of the Bridgeport Industrial Park to the south line of Floyd Park extended west. The tax increment ordinance was similarly amended so as to utilize the available tax increment revenues for the financing of public improvements throughout the amended Project Area, including the development of the South Riverfront Park as the Rivercade site. Amendment No. 2 also included a provision establishing a 15-year period for tax increment collections in respect of the West Donner Park Urban Renewal Sub-Area. Accordingly, the provisions of this Plan as they related to the West Donner Park Urban Renewal Sub-Area terminated as to that Sub- Area on June 1, 2006. Amendment No. 8 added this area back into the Project Area, to again be known as the West Donner Park Urban Renew- al Sub-Area.

c. Sub-Area Nos. 1 and 2:

Pursuant to Resolution No. 92/U-549 on October 12, 1992, the City Council adopted Amendment No. 3 to the Plan. Among other things, Amendment No. 3 increased the area of the Donner Park Urban Renewal Sub-Area by adding two tracts of land, the first of which was located generally east of South Lakeport Street and south of Lorraine Avenue (Sub- Area No. 1), and the second such tract being located generally on both sides of Donner Avenue from east of Highway 75 west to York Street (Sub-Area No. 2). The Amendment also added provisions to the Plan intended to promote the development of additional recreational facilities in the Donner Park Urban Renewal Sub-Area, including construction of a new baseball stadium along with related improvements.

d. Sub-Area No. 3:

Pursuant to Resolution No. 93/U-1656 on December 1993 the West Don- ner Park Urban Renewal Sub-Area was expanded with the adoption of Amendment No. 4 to the Plan. This Amendment added a tract of land, including the Bridgeport Industrial Park, between Interstate 29 and the Missouri River, and north of the Sioux Gateway Airport (Sub-Area No. 3). The Amendment was intended to promote the development of additional commercial and industrial sites in the Project Area through the expansion of an infrastructure systems and public facilities in the area. e. Sub-Area Nos. 4, 5 and 6:

Pursuant to Resolution No. 94/U-2783 on December 19, 1994 the Donner Park Urban Renewal Sub-Area was further expanded by the adoption of Amendment No. 5 to the Plan. This Amendment added three tracts of land recently annexed into the City. Those tracts were (i) the area known as Virginia Meadows Addition, located west of South Lakeport Street and south of U.S. Highway 20 (Sub-Area No. 4), (ii) the Ivener Property located on both sides of the new extension of Singing Hills Blvd. (Sub-Area No. 5), and (iii) the "island" previously surrounded by the City of Sioux City and located along U.S. Highway 75 between the Bridgeport Industrial Road and Donner Road (Sub-Area No. 6) (Amendment No. 5 referred to these three areas as Sub-Areas D-1, D-2 and D-3). Amendment No. 5 was intended to continue to promote the development of additional commercial and industrial, as well as residential sites, in the Donner Park Ur- ban Renewal Sub-Area through the expansion of the infrastructure systems and public facilities in the area. f. Sioux Gateway Sub-Area and Sub-Area No. 7:

Pursuant to Resolution No. 97/U-5267 on March 24, 1997 the Plan was further amended with the adoption of Amendment No. 6 to the Plan. This Amendment increased the area of the Donner Park Urban Renewal Area by adding a third sub-area for the Airport Business Park (the Sioux Gate- way Urban Renewal Sub-Area). This new area is generally located south of the Bridgeport Industrial Area, between Interstate 29 and the runways for the Sioux Gateway Airport and consists of approximately 200 acres. Amendment No. 6 also added an area west of Virginia Meadows that had recently been annexed into the City (Sub-Area No. 7), generally described as the south half of an 80 acres tract lying south of Singing Hills Blvd. and west of Lakeport View and Virginia Meadows Additions. Other plan amendments also were made to provide for the use of urban renewal powers to enhance and improve educational opportunities for residents of the Project Area and to conform certain provisions of the Plan to the general plan for the City of Sioux City, "Vision 20/20: A Plan for Change." Amendment No. 6 also specified that the Plan shall terminate as to the Donner Park Urban Renewal Sub-Area and the Sioux Gateway Urban Renewal Sub-Area no later than July 1, 2015, and again stated that the Plan shall terminate as to the West Donner Park Urban Renewal Sub- Area no later than June 1, 2006, unless otherwise extended by action of the City Council. Amendment No. 6 also was intended to continue the

development of additional business and industrial sites in the Sioux Gateway Urban Renewal Sub-Area through the expansion and/or reconstruction of the infrastructure systems and public facilities in the area.

A proposed Amendment No. 7 to the Plan was prepared in August 1998, but was never acted upon by the City Council.

g. Southbridge and Four Seasons Sub-Areas:

Pursuant to Resolution No. 2009-0679 on August 27, 2009 the Plan was further amended by Amendment No. 8 for the purpose of adding new areas to the Project Area covered by the Plan, consisting of the South- bridge Sub-Area and the Four Seasons Sub-Area, and to add back the area known as the West Donner Park Sub-Area as a new Sub-Area. This Amendment was intended to promote the development of additional commercial and industrial sites in the Southbridge Sub-Area through the expansion of the infrastructure systems and public facilities in the area. Infrastructure repairs and extensions also are necessary within the Four Seasons Sub-Area. The Plan also was amended to add additional Pro- ject Area activities and objectives, to amend the termination provisions applicable to the Plan, and to add provisions relating to current City indebtedness and the expected use of tax increment revenues of the Pro- ject Area.

h. Sunnybrook South Sub-Area:

Pursuant to Resolution No. 2010-0670 on September 13, 2010 the Plan was further amended by Amendment No. 9 for the purpose of adding new territory to the Project Area, consisting of the Sunnybrook South Sub-Area. The Plan also was amended to update provisions relating to current City indebtedness and the expected use of tax increment revenues of the Project Area for infrastructure improvements.

i. Eagle Ridge Sub-Area:

The City would provide up to $1,400,000 in financial assistance, in the form of an Economic Development Reimbursement Grant, to the project for the purpose of grading costs associated with developing the site, based upon the approved grading plan. The City would provide the Developer with up to $150,000 annually in tax rebates for a five year

period, effective upon taxation based on the minimum assessment agreement between the City and the Developer.

g. The City is considering entering into a Development Agreement with a private Developer (Brian Peterson) for the development of a housing development located in newly annexed property to the City of Sioux City which is identified as the Eagle Ridge Sub-Area to the Donner Park Ur- ban Renewal Plan Area. Under the terms of a negotiated Development Agreement, the City may provide up to $500,000 in the form of a Tax In- crement Financing Grant.

h. Pursuant to Resolution No. 2012-0436, the City entered into a Develop- ment Agreement with a private Developer (Consumers Supply Distrib- uting, LLC), for the development of certain privately-owned property in the Donner Park Urban Renewal Plan Area located at 2901 Murphy Drive. As per terms and conditions set forth in a Development Agreement and Min- imum Assessment Agreement, the Developer agreed to purchase the property, retain seventy jobs, and commit to a minimum assessment agreement of $2,000,000, while the City agreed to provide certain tax incentives to facilitate the development. The tax incentives included rebate of an estimated total of approximately $347,000 of taxes, or 44%, over the ten year life of the rebate schedule. The City is now considering entering into an Amended Development Agreement and Amended Minimum Assessment Agreement which would shift the time periods back for the rebate. The rebate years would commence for the tax payment due in September 2014 and continue through the tax installment due in March 2024. This would amount to a shift in the end date of the rebates from 2023 to 2024.

7. Project and City Indebtedness.

At this time, the extent of public improvements and other urban renewal activities to be undertaken within the Project Area is only generally known. A variety of un- identified private improvements, as well as public infrastructure improvements, are expected to be constructed within the Project Area during the duration of this Urban Renewal Plan. As such, the eventual level of City participation in both private and public improvements for the economic development of the Project Area

cannot be fully determined at this time. However, to the extent that new tax increment revenues are generated and other appropriate funding sources are identified, the City may undertake a variety of project-related activities in the future.

At the present time, it is anticipated that future City tax increment collections for project-related activities within the Project Area will not exceed $239,000,000. Proceeds of such tax increment collections are currently expected to be used to reimburse the City for the costs of constructing public infrastructure improvements within the Project Area and the making of economic development grants to private developers constructing new facilities therein.

As of June 30, 2014, the City’s outstanding general obligation indebtedness was $113,890,000. Article XI, Section 3 of the Constitution of the State of Iowa limits the amount of City debt outstanding at any time to no more than five percent of the value, as shown by the last certified state and county tax list, of all taxable property within the City. Based upon the actual value for 2013 of $3,872,594,7069 (total actual value) on all taxable property within the City of Sioux City, the City currently is limited to $193,629,706 of additional general obligation indebtedness.

CITY OF SIOUX CITY REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION

MEETING DATE: December 22, 2014 ACTION ITEM # 25 FROM: Chris Myres, Economic Development Specialist

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING SUBMISSION OF AN IOWA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY APPLICATION FOR THE SUBJECT: TARGETED JOBS WITHHOLDING TAX CREDIT PROGRAM FOR TRINI- TYRAIL MAINTENANCE SERVICES, INC. (2229 ALICIA AVENUE)

Department Finance City City Reviewed By: x Director Department Attorney Manager

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests Council approval of the above resolution

DISCUSSION: Background: TrinityRail Maintenance Services is a Dallas, Texas based company offering a full range of services for railcars from field inspections and comprehensive compliance testing to standard repairs and maintenance, specialized cleaning, remanufacturing, inspection and testing. The company’s work in remanufacturing and repairing tanker cars has expanded greatly in recent years due to the oil boom in North Dakota as well as the thriving ethanol industry in Iowa.

Current Project: Trinity has chosen the 27 Flags site in the Southbridge Business Park for the establishment of a new operating facility to provide railcar maintenance, railcar remanufacturing and railcar services. When complete the expansion will provide a more convenient service location for railcars running in the Central Midwest region of the United States. The project will create 250 new advanced manufacturing jobs in Sioux City and represents a total capital investment of nearly $30 million.

Targeted Jobs Application: The Targeted Jobs program is a unique joint City/State program that provides withholding tax credits based on qualifying wages. The City works closely with the Iowa Economic Develop- ment Authority to provide this substantial assistance. Awards under this program require a commitment from both the IEDA and the City.

The timing of the application process relative to the company’s substantial concern for confi- dentiality required the company’s IEDA application to be submitted and approved by the IEDA Board prior to a resolution of support being passed by the City Council. The resolution of support for this application will formally complete the approval process.

The Targeted Jobs Program is a valuable tool in the creation and retention of these types of skilled jobs in Iowa. While the business has investigated options for location in adjacent states, including consideration of the tax structures of other locations, their first preference is to locate in Sioux City. The proposed award from the Targeted Jobs program allows the Iowa location to be more competitive.

The program will provide an estimated $1,900,470 in withholding tax credits over a 8-year period which will be used by the business for construction costs and machinery and equipment purchases for the new facility. The IEDA application for this program requires the City to enter into a Withholding Agreement with the business to establish the guidelines under which the tax credits will be disbursed.

The company will also enter into a separate development agreement with the City to establish the full terms of the proposed business assistance package. The final versions of these agreements are being drafted and will be submitted to Council for consideration in the upcoming weeks.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: The required match for this application will be provided through the business’ capital investment in the project.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN: To expand development opportunities, develop the resources to support economic growth, and develop new business sites.

ALTERNATIVES: None recommended

ATTACHMENTS: Resolution Hard copy of the Application will be provided.

CITY OF SIOUX CITY REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION

MEETING DATE: December 22, 2014 ACTION ITEM # 26 Jade Dundas, Assistant City Manager of Public Works FROM: Glenn Ellis, City Engineer

SUBJECT: Resolution approving an Engineering Services Agreement with DGR Engi- neering for design, construction administration, and construction observation in connection with the Alicia Avenue, Southbridge Project in an amount not to exceed $145,423.00.

Department Finance City City Reviewed By: X x x x Director Department Attorney Manager

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests Council approve the attached Resolution for an Engineering Ser- vices Agreement with DGR Engineering for design, construction administration, and construction observation in connection with the Alicia Avenue, Southbridge Project.

DISCUSSION: This agreement is for engineering design, construction administration, and construction observation services in connection with the Alicia Avenue, Southbridge Project. This project will pave approximately 2,500 feet and construct utilities on Alicia Avenue between 225th Street and the City’s rail yard. The construction of Alicia Avenue also is part of the Trinity Rail project and related site development

The selection of DGR Engineering for the design of this project was based on their understanding of the project area, and the need for a timely design. DGR Engineering has completed design work in the Southbridge area; more specifically in the Alicia Avenue area with the 27 Flags site and the Southbridge Rail Yard project. The City’s Qualifications Based process allows for the selection of a consultant without following the established process of consultant selection if the consultant has prior preliminary or final design work which warrants continuing to utilize the consultant so as to avoid delay, and inefficiency.

The expected project schedule will have final plans and specifications developed for the bidding process to take place in June 2015. Construction is anticipated to start in July, and be completed in Fall 2015.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: This project is funded in FY16 Proposed CIP using a RISE grant in the amount of $710,381.00, and Donner Abated GO Bonds under CIP 663-225, Trinity Rail Improvements. The project currently has an available balance of $0.00.
