Regent institutional budgets as presented on pages 5-9. 2. Iowa Public Radio budget as presented in Attachment D on page 23. 3. Board Office operating budget as shown in Attachment E on page 24. Executive Summary: Consistent with the Board’s strategic plan to demonstrate public accountability and effective stewardship of resources, all institutional budgets are approved annually by the Board. The FY 2010 budgets for the special schools were approved at the June 2009 meeting. In April, the Board considered key budgetary issues to provide guidance in the development of the FY 2010 institutional budgets. In June, the Board approved the institutional salary policies and received FY 2010 budget development updates from Iowa’s public universities, which included the projected application of one-time federal economic stimulus funding. The Board also adopted a resolution to hold salaries flat in FY 2010 for all non-bargaining unit employees with exceptions being approved by the institutional heads upon consultation with the Board Office. The Board is now asked to consider approval of the proposed budgets for the universities, Iowa Public Radio, and the Board Office. The Regent institutional budgets include two basic types of funds: General operating funds include operational appropriations, interest income, tuition and fee revenues, reimbursed indirect costs, and sales and services revenues. Some appropriations are designated for specific operating uses and cannot be used for other purposes.

But one local group is still fighting for alternatives. The Iowa Coalition Against the Shad- ow, a group headed by Iowa City residents Jon Fogarty and Rockne Cole, met at the Iowa City Public Library, 123 S. Linn St., on Monday night to discuss ways to stop the development, The Chauncey. “We want citizens’ voices to be heard, and the decision that’s made reflect com- munity values,” Cole said. “This is our park, our commons, and we all want in- put into this.” The Chauncey proposal included res- idential and office space as well as en- tertainment venues, with a focus on the latter. The 20-story building would also include two FilmScene theaters. With all the chairs in the meeting room taken, people lined the back of the room, and though their name suggests opposi- tion to the height of the building, their grievances with the Chauncey were as varied as they were numbered. The first plan of action for the group is to push for certain zoning for the planned Ellie Capaldo (center) plays with grandmother Cindy Capaldo on Jan.

Executive Summary: On the evening of April 13, 2006, severe weather, including tornados and storms, hit the Iowa City area. The University of Iowa has provided the following report on the damage and the University’s response; an oral update will be provided at the Board meeting. UNIVERSITY OF IOWA REPORT On Thursday, April 13, powerful storms produced as many as 7 tornados in Johnson County. Major damage occurred in Iowa City, particularly east of the downtown/UI Pentacrest area. Given the strength of the storms, the University campus and facilities escaped with relatively little damage. One University building, the UI motor pool headquarters, sustained major damage and has been demolished. The CAMBUS garage, adjacent to the motor pool building, also sustained damage. One mini-bus was demolished and 3 standard-sized buses were damaged. The bulk of the UI campus reported only minor damage, primarily broken windows and downed trees. The day following the storm, representatives of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the University’s insurance carrier, FM Global, toured campus with UI representatives to make an initial damage assessment. Notwithstanding the relatively minor damage to major facilities, the initial estimate of storm damage was $5.9 million. This figure was exclusive of damage to UI automobiles and trucks, some of which were damaged by hail.
