Re: Hearing Date for Transition Urban Revitalization Areas
Dear Mayor Tedesco and Council Members:
Attached are the proposed Ordinance,Resolution, and Hearing Notice pertaining to transition urban
revitalization areas.
Per Iowa Code Section 404.2(3),the"City"must schedule a public hearing and notify all owners of
record of real property located within the proposed urban revitalization areas. This entails mailing
individual notification letters to affected property owners. Iowa Code requires that these notices,
as well as the publication of the legal notice of hearing, be done 30 days in advance of the hearing.
Staff has worked out a time line whereby these requirements can be satisfied if the date of
hearing is set for August 24, 1999. The City Council is asked to schedule the hearing for that date
or a subsequent date as the Council deems appropriate.
Yours truly,
ohn R. Klaus
City Attorney
