CITY OF IOWA CITY
Colonel Elbert Kraus
Department of the Army
Rock Island District - Corps of Engineers
Clock Tower Building
P.O. Box 2004
Rock Island, IL 61204-2004
Dear Colonel Kraus:
Over the last few weeks I have received inquiries from representatives of the media as well as Professors
Newsome, Molner and Neff from the University of Iowa concerning a proposed study of Corps operating
policies, As I understand this study, it offers suggestions as well as proposing further study of the policies
concerning release of weter at the Coralville Reservoir, The news media accounts appear to Indicate the
Corps Is generally satisfied with your policies on the release of. water, The proposed study as put forth by
the University professors appears to offer amendments to those policies.
During my discussion of this Issue, it has been attributed to my office and other City of Iowa City staff that
we were very happy with the performancb of the Corps. Needless to say I was most pleased with the
response by the Corps with respect to the protection of the City's water treatment plant during the summer
flooding. I am not in a position nor heve the expertise to be critical of your current policies other than the
response we received appeared to be most satisfactory, However, If there are alternative release policies
that coulq assure the protection of the municipal water supply, as well as minimize damage to my
community, Its homeowners and businesses, It would appear the proposed review may be worthwhile,
We would appreciate an opportunity to review any change in policies or procedures that are proposed by
the Corps or to the Corps, particularly as it affects our citizens and the municipal water supply. I encourage
your review of any options in order to provided for the long-term benefit of all concerned.
Sincerely yours,
.

Date: December 30, 1993
To: Stephen Atkins, City Manager
From: James Brachtel, Traffic Engineer
Re: Request lor Pedestrian Count at Kirkwood and Summit
In order to gather pedestrian data at the Intersection, the Traffic Engineer will have to place an
employee at or near the Intersection to observe the pedestrian activity at this intersection, I would
suggest that no counts be made during the winter months as typically pedestrian activity Is lalrly
light during this time 01 year, I believe a more representative sampling can be taken If we wait
until the warmer weather 01 March or April, II this delay Is satisfactory, Traffic Engineering will
perform the counts In late March or April when the weather Is more suitable lor pedestrian activity.
I would anticipate that we would provide observation Irom the hours of 7:00 a.m. . 9:00 a.m"
11:00 a.m, -1:00 p,m, and 2:30 p.m.. 5:30 p.m. II this Is satlslac'tory, please advise,

WASHINGTON, OC 20510-1502
December 28, 1993
Col. Albert Kraus, District Engineer
Army Corps of Engineers
Clock Tower Bldg
Rock Island, IL 61204-2004
Dear Col. Kraus:
Enclosed is a letter I recently received from John Neff of
Iowa City. Mr. Neff would like the Army Corps of Engineers to
hold a meeting with local officials to discuss the current
operating plan of the Coralville Reservoir. I would like to add
my endorsement to this suggestion.
As you know, last year's flooding was devastating to
residents and businesses in Iowa City and Coralville. For the
most part, the local officials were pleased with the management
of the reservoir, however that does not mean they were completely
satisfied with the operations. I think it would be helpful for
the Army Corps to discuss the current operating plan and any
suggested changes with city officials, the University of Iowa and
the Johnson County Board of Supervisors. Perhaps a way better
facilitate communication between the Army Corps and the community
can be found.
I hope you give this request every consideration. Please
respond to Beth Freeman in my Cedar Rapids office. I look
forward to hearing from you.

OUR PARKS
STILL NEED HELP!
Although contributions have
been steadily coming in, the
City's flood damaged parks are ,
stilI in need of financial assis-
tance in order to restore them for
present and future Iowa Citians, The donations already
received are very much appreciated, As generous as the
contributors have been, however, a great deal more is
still needed.
One thing you might wish to consider is a gift in honor
of a person or a special event, A certificate will be
provided to acknowledge your gift, To arrange this,
please call the Parks and Recreation office at 356-5110,
The floods caused nearly $400,000 in damages, primari-
ly to City Park. The goal of the Mayor's fundraising
committee is to raise $150,000, With your help, we hope
to have the parks open and at least partially usable by
next spring.
If you would like to make a tax deductible contribution,
please write a separate check payable to the Iowa City
Parks & RecreaHon FoundaHon, and enclose it with your
City utility payment OR mail it to: Parks and Recre-
ation Foundation; do Robert A, Lee Community
Recreation Center; 220 South Gilbert St., Iowa City, IA
52240,
If you have any questions, or would like further
information, please contact any of the following individ-
uals: Terry Trueblood, Parks & Recreation Director _
356-5110; Darrel G. Courtney, former Mayor, 354-5000
(day); Bill Brandt - 338-3637; John Beasley - 337-5352
(evening); Malt Pacha - 337-3121.

1994 COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
(CDBG) APPLICATIONS
Applications for the 1994 CDBG Program are now
available from the Community Development Division
staff, The City of Iowa City is expecting to allocate
approximately $1,000,000 in CDBG funds for the upcom-
ing fIScal year. These funds are intended mainly for
projects benefitting lower income persons and neighbor-
hoods, A description of eligible activities and, instruc-
tions on completing the application may also be obtained
from the division. For more information, interested
persons and organizations are encouraged to contact the
Community Development Division at 356-5230.
SIDEWALK SNOW
REMOVAL
As the winter snow season
is upon us, the City would
like to remind property owners .
of their responsibility to remove ~
snow from their sidewalks within 24 hours after the end
of a show fall, State law places the responsibility of
snow and Ice removal on the abutting property owner,
It is the City's policy to enforce the provisions of this law
in response to citizen complaints, Persons living on
street comers should also clear sidewaik ramps to the
street, so passage is not Impeded to those with disabili-
ties and other pedestrians. If the Ice and snow have not
been cleared as required, the City will contract to remove
the snow and bill the property owner for the cost of
removal,
Please remember, safe public sidewalks are necessary
for the community's welfare, especially school.aged
children, the elderly and disabled, If you are planning
to be gone for any length of lime during the snow
season, please make provisions to have your sidewalks
cleared during your absence. If you should have any
questions concerning the new procedures for ensuring
sidewalk snow removal, please contact Housing and
Inspection Services at 356.5120.

WINTER SAFETY TIPS
'" ... who ~ """'" · ""'" It" ~d~,' "," "
stoves in the winter, the Iowa City /i}
Fire Department offers these tips:
o Wood stoves should have adequate
clearance (36") from combustible
surfaces and proper floor support and protection.
o Have chimneys inspected annually and cleaned as
necessary.
o Do not use flammable llquidsto start or accelerate any
fire.
o Keep a glass or metal screen in front of the fireplace
opening to prevent sparks from jumping out.
o Wood stoves should be burned hot twice a day for 15-
30 minutes to reduce the amount of creosote build-up.
o Never bum charcoal indoors. Burning charcoal can
give off lethal amounts of carbon monoxide.
o Before you go to sleep, be sure your fireplace is out.
NEVER close your damper with hot ashes in the
fireplace. A closed damper will help the fire to heat
up again and will force toxic carbon monoxide into the
house.
o If synthetic logs are used, follow the directions on the
package. Never break a synthetic log apart to quicken
the fire or use more than one log at a time. They often
bum unevenly, releasing higher levels of carbon
monoxide.
If you have any questions, call the Iowa City Fire
Department Public Education persoMel at 356-5265.

SIX PAINLESS
WAYS TO
CONSERVE
WATER...
. Tum off the tap while brushing your teeth or
shaving. There's no need to keep water pouring
down the drain.
. Keep showers short, just enough to soap up,
wash down, and rinse off. Long showers can
waste 5to 10 gallons every minute.
o Fill the sink with water when washing dishes
Instead of running the water continuously. If you
use an automatic dishwasher, do only full loads.
. Save up for full loads of laundry or when need-
ed, set your machine for a lesser load.
. Wash vegetables In a basin, using a brush to
clean them Instead of running water.
. Fix leaks In toilets, faucets, showers and pipes.
Even the smallest leak can waste 20 or more
gallons a day.
!l~!J
AN APPEAL - RECYCLING BINS
ARE NOT TRASH CONTAINERS!
Please follow the rules posted at the recycling drop
sites and deposit only those materials which can be
recycled. When garbage and trash arc mixed with the
recyclables, the entire contents of the box are contaminat-
ed and must be sent to the landfill. Also, be sure to
separate different colors of glass into the appropriately
labeled bin. Just one broken bottle placed in the wrong
color bin can contaminate the whole bin of glass which
must then be landfUled. This ruins the efforts of those
who arc conscientiously trying to make the recycling
program a success. The cooperation of everyone is
needed to ensure the continued presence of the drop
boxes.

To: City Council
From: City Manager
Re: Railroad Crossing on Highway 6
The lOOT and the CRANDIC Railroad plan to repair the crossing near the Country Kitchen during
the 1994 construction season. Repair will require closure of the highway to raise the tracks. This
raises difficult detour Issues. It appears likely that the detour will Involve Gilbert Street, Kirkwood
Avenue and Keokuk Street for westbound and possibly eastbound traffic. The impact of the
detour on local traffic can be reduced If the State work Is scheduled while the east end of
Kirkwood Is closed for paving. We will do our best to coordinate with lOOT.

BACKGROUND
The East Central Iowa Council of Governments (ECICOG) coordinated the ,
preparation of the 1989 Regional Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan. The
plan was prepared and submitted to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to meet
the requirements ,of the 1987 Groundwater Protection Act. The landfills participating in
the plan are: Benton County, Cedar Rapids, Iowa County, Iowa City, Jones County,
Linn County and Tama County.
The plan was received, reviewed and approved by the IDNR in spring 1990.
ECICOG hired a regional solid waste planning coordinator to oversee the
implementation of the comprehensive plan in June, 1990.
This update is a statutory requirement, pursuant to Iowa Code sections 455.304
and 455D.7, and amended Chapter 101.5(7)"b"(2), Iowa Administrative Code, 1992.
All infonnation provided and material submitted herewith was' prepared by the
ECICOG regional solid waste planning coordinator, under the direction of the Solid
Waste Technical Advisory Committee, of the ECICOG Board of Directors, and on
behalf of those participating landfills.

Brief Description Of The ECICOG Area
,.
~
j
~
i
~
The East. Central Iowa area covered in this comprehensive plan includes the
landfills in Linn, Jones, Iowa, Benton and Tama counties and in Cedar Rapids and
Iowa City. However, the planning area does not encompass all parts of all counties.
The community of Victor, in Iowa County, is not included in the ECICOG solid waste
planning area or in Iowa county solid waste planning. The communities of Riverside
and Kalona, in Washington county, are included in the ECICOG solid waste planning
area and in Johnson County planning efforts.
The total population for the project area is 349,408 (1990 US Census). The size
of communities range from over 100,000 in population (Cedar Rapids) to 84 (Morely,
in Jones county). Service area population varies from 14,630 for the Iowa County
Sanitary Landfili to 117,227 for the Cedar Rapids Sanitary Landfill.
Respectively, annual tonnages received at landfills vary considerably, from a
fiscal year 1993 high from Cedar Rapids of 158,477 tons to a low of 3,903 tons from
Jones County,
Intense industrial activities, which strongly affect landfill tonnages, are centered
in the Cedar Rapids-Coralville-Iowa City corridor. The University of Iowa and I '
University Hospitals, both in Iowa City, provide employment for almost 25,000
people. The rest of the region relies on light industry, agriculture and agricultural
services for economic acitivity. Jones (Stone City/Grant Wood area) and Iowa (Amana
Colonies, Williamsburg Mall) counties, and now Tama county (Mesquakie Bingo and
Casino) have strong tourism draws.

History 01 Regional Waste Management
. Prior to 1987, no coordination of solid waste management activities on a
regional basis had' taken place. Solid waste managers were confmed to operating
collection systems and sanitary landfills. With the advent of the 1987 Groundwater
Protection Act and required comprehensive planning, solid waste management gained a
higher profile.
Governmental solid waste managers and elected officials in the ECICOG area
joined together in the comprehensive planning process to produce the region I s first
plan, submitted to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources in November 1989.
IDNR approved the plan in April 1990 and ECICOG hired a regional solid waste
planning coordinator to start in July 1990. The original plan was approved by all local
governments in the ECICOG solid waste planning area., Work promptly began on its
implementation.
The original group of solid waste managers and elected officials now became a
more formalized group - the Solid Waste Technical Advisory Committee (SWTAC).
Each local body providing oversight to a landfill - landfill commission, city council or
board of supervisors - appointed a representative to serve on the committee. The
committee elected Dave Hogan, Cedar Rapids Solid Waste Program Manager, ,to serve
, as chairperson.
,In addition to..,appointed representatives, others who work in solid waste
management and planning, elected officials, and concerned citizens are involved in the
continuing planning process and attend SWTAC meetings. The Johnson County
Council of Governments Solid Waste Planner, the Linn County Director of Planning

and Zoning, and the University of Iowa Waste Management Coordinator attend
SWTAC m'eetings. The Linn County League of Women Voters are participants as well.
The SWTAC provides valuable input into the work plan of the solid waste
planning coordinator. In return, the coordinator serves as staff person to the committee.
The SWTAC meetings provide a lively regional forum to air concerns about, costs,
management alternatives, proposed legislation and administrative rules, and unique
management efforts.
The solid waste planning coordinator is charged with overseeing the region's
progress regarding the implementation plan and reduction goals. The coordinator
monitors solid waste legislation, coordinates with other agencies and oversees the
activities of the solid waste education planner.
The coordinator also provides regional programs to further assist county/city
, representatives. Certain programs have proven more feasible and cost-effective at a
regional level. For instance, waste reduction and recycling education activities are
provided on a regional basis by the ECICOG office. The cost Per resident is much
lower at a regional rather than local level. Any county/city representative can tap into
these activities and use the resources provided at the regional level.
Funding for the coordinator, the education planner and regional solid waste
activities is provided through the landfill planning set-aside charge. Each landfill retains
$0.95 per ton locally to fund solid waste activities. From this, ECICOG charges a per
capita rate by service area.

Total local cost for all programs for Fiscal Year 1994 is $0.17 per capita. The
ECICOG Solid Waste Department has found additional subsidy through Landfill
Alternative Grants and special contracts w\th local governments (i.e., Linn County Tire
Collection Program and Linn County Education Program).
At the inception of the coordinator's position, the SWf AC and the ECICOG
Board detennined that the position would be funded for three years. This three-year
funding cycle coincided with the next update of the comprehensive plan, originally due
June 1993. With the development of the ECICOG FY94 workplan and budget, thll
'SWfAC was asked for a recommendation concerning the extension of the coordinator's
position. After much delibemtion and discussion, the SWfAC recommended that a
regional position be funded until the year 2000, but that' another review take place in
1997. This date coincides with the date by which comprehensive plans must be
implemented. The ECICOG Board upheld this recommendation.
A solid waste education planner has been in place, on a temporary basis, since
1991. A position has been funded twice by Iowa Department of Natural Resources
Landfill Alternative Grants. In November, 1992, the SWfAC recommended and the
ECICOG Board approved moving this positio'n to a full-time pennanent one after the
expimtion date of the latest Landfill Alternatives Grant (November 15, 1993). This
decision was based on recommendations from the comprehensive plan and the demand
for solid waste educational services. The work plan for the education planner will be
developed after the implementation plan has been approved by the SWfAC and
ECICOG Board. The position will provide direct technical, assistance to the area's
communities and counties and further development and implementation of regional
education progmms.

Update Process And Methods
The update of the regional plan began soon after the regional coordinator was
hired. Information concerning the solid waste management activities in the region
began to be collected.
In 1993, a timeline for the update submittal was prepared to guide the process.
The swr AC recommended that each local government overseeing landfill operations
appoint a public input committee to, contribute to the update process. Iowa City and
Linn County appointed separate committees, Cedar Rapids used quadrant committees
developed for input in the Community Development Block Grant program, and Jones,
Iowa, Benton and Tama Counties used their respective landf1l1 commissions.
The first public information for the update process meeting was held July 20,
1993, with significant attendance. The agenda covered the regional comprehensive plan
update process, a review of the current implementation plan, a review of landfill
tonnages and preliminary abatement table and a period for public, input.
The second series of public meetings were held October 5 (in Cedar Rapids) and
October 7 (in Iowa City), 1993. Attendance at these meetings was smaller, but
discussion was lively with considerable public comment, especially at the Iowa CitY
meeting. The proposed implementation plan and outline, tonnage figures and the
regional and individual landfill waste abatement tables were discussed, at these
meetings.
The draft plan was reviewed by the swr AC and recommended for approval on
November 16, 1993. The ECICOG Board reviewed and approved the plan November

with a proposed letter of cooperation. The finalized plan, including letters of
cooperation, was submitted to IDNR in January, 1994.,
The final plan will be presented at another public meeting in early spring, 1994.
Work plans for both the coordinator and education planner will be developed from the
implementation plan.

PRESENfATION OF PLAN INFORMATION
ImplementaJion Plan Explanation
The implementation plan was developed from assessment of the previous
implementation plan and regional progress and from public input.
Volume Reduction/ToxiciJy Reduction
This portion of waste management is given more attention with more emphasis
placed on different efforts to reduce waste, both its volume and toxicity, at the source.
The SWTAC strongly supports volume reduction and its importance in meeting
reduction goals, as well as toxicity reduction and its importance in furthering the
protection of groundwater quality.
The region should encourage a strong waste volume' reduction education
program by supporting local efforts. Local governments should investigate and con~ider
adoption' of unit-based pricing systems. The ECICOO coordinator can assist local
governments in the investigation, assessment and adoption of unit-based pricing. The
use of a unit-based pricing system, along with a comprehensive recycling program, can
achieve considerable reductions of solid waste, while bolstering recycling participation.
The development of a waste reduction educator position can provide the educational
support necessary for successful programs throughout the region.
In addition, the region should join with private haulers to encourage waste
reduction efforts in the public and private sectors. EClCOO solid waste staff should
begin a regular program of disseminating waste volume reduction and toxicity
reduction inormation to private haulers. In turn, solid waste officials should seek the
input of private haulers regarding opportunities for waste reduction.

Regarding toxicity reduction, the region should continue to support a strong
household hazardous waste (HHW) education program. The ECICOG education
planner can further these efforts by continuing the storm sewer labelling program and
seeking public forums for the distribution of HHW information.
The region should establish a permanent regional IffiW collection site,
requesting grant funds from the IDNR and developing a funding mechanism for
operations. Costs for operation can be lowered by establishing local programs for
handling waste paint, batteries and oil, and by coordinating with the By-Products and
Waste Search Service at Kirkwood to fmd a home for reusable materials. Loccl
materials exchange programs should be investigated and established, if possible: The
region should pursue out opportunities to coordinate with other regions and with IDNR
to reduce hazardous waste contractor costs.
The region should C,ontinue to solicit funds for Toxic Waste Clean-Up Days, as
well as investigating local funding for clean-up days held more often.
Support of a strong HHW education program can serve to control costs in the
long term.' By encouraging residents to reduce toxicity at the source by using safer
alternatives, fewer materials will need to be managed.
. The continuation of the University of Northern Iowa's By-products and Waste
Search Service (BA WSS) is crucial in obtaining significant reductions from the
industrial and commercial business sector in this area. This program has achieved
considerable success, but through more strenuous promotion and support, even greater
reductions are possible. Landfill staff should work with the program representative to

identify wastes for reduction and reuse efforts. The ECICOG coordinator should also
work with private haulers to encoumge their input in identifying wastes to be reduced
through this program.
Businesses should also be encoumged to contact the program representative for
the Waste Reduction Assistance PrograIil (WRAP) at the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources for technical assistance to improve processes to reduce waste.
The primary goal of this regional waste management program should be to
reduce as much waste (volume and toxicity) as possible at the source.
Recycling/Reuse/Composting
AIlIOca1 governments, communities and counties, must have a waste reduction
and recycling program.
Local governments not already using curbside recycling should evaluate the
success of drop-off progmms and strongly consider curbside. The ECICOG coordinator
can assist local governmentS in the assessment process as well as in the planning
process for curbside. Drop-off progmms to serve rural populations should be
established. Opportunities and costs for coordination with private enterprise ,should be
considered. '
The region should periodically assess the need for regional marketing efforts.

forum for discussing these possibilities. Sub-regional marketing efforts should be
investigated, if tranSportation costs prohibit the entire regionls participation in anyone
effort.
Iowa City and Cedar Rapids already serve as regional centers for services, so a
natural flow of materials to these two communities should be expected and planned for,
both in the private and public sector.
. The ECICOG coordinator should seek markets and opportunities for additional
items to be recycled. Efforts to include as many items as possible to be recycled should
be investigated and supported.
The region should assess the need and feasibility of solid waste composting in
its waste management scheme. Collection of material based on source separation of
compostables, possibly with co-coIlection of recyclables, should be investigated as a
part of the feasibility process. To take advantage of this mechanism's ability to further
the region's progress toward the 50% reduction goal, the possible establishment of a
facility should be back-timed from a reasonable date prior to 2000. This date should
, allow for the facility to be in operation prior to 2000 so that reductions can be achieved
, before this date.
Cedar Rapids has the largest waste stream in the region and the shortest landfill
life, so this community's investigation of solid waste composting as an allowable (waste
reduced through solid waste composting may be counted toward a landfill's reduction'
goal) reduction alternative is natural. The regionalization of a proposed solid waste
, composting facility should be sought for an economy of scale that will benefit all

participants. At this time, Linn County, Iowa City and the University of Iowa have
shown interest in participating.
Progress toward establishment of a regional solid waste composting facility
should be thoroughly planned with aIlowances for changes in technology that may
affect processing and sizing. In addition, outside activities may have an impact on the
development of a facility. The establishment of the Cedar River Paper Company
corrugated cardboard and waste paper recycling plant in Cedar Rapids will have a
definite impact on facility planning. Solid waste staff should be alert to additional
activities which may have an affect on, or preclude the need for, a regional solid waste
composting facility.
The ECICOG coordinator can and should facilitate the planning process and in
fact, ECICOG itself can serye as a contractor for consulting or engineering services on
behalf of participating local governments. The SwrAC meetings provide the perfect
setting for continued discussion on this mailer.
Incineration For Energy Recovery
While this waste inanagement alternative is farther down the waste hierarchy,
and local governments' ability to count material processed for incineration or
, incinerated toward the waste reduction goal is limited, the region should periodically
assess the state of incineration in Iowa and determine its appropriateness. This will no
doubt happen on a fairly regular basis due to proposals from the private seclor. This

was anticipated in the previous comprehensive plan's discussion of incineration. The
region should continue to draw insight and direction from that discussion.
The previous implementation plan provided a sound argument against
establishment of a publicly-owned facility, and that argument continues to hold. Tn
addition, the previous implementation plan encouraged a determination of need before
any facility enters the planning process. Considering the potential cost and impact of
such a facility, this determination should be categorical.
A detennination of the facility's impact on the local governments' and region's
progress toward the 50% goal should be made.
In addition to assuring the health, safety and welfare of citizens through
requiring sta~f.the.art environmental safeguards, local governments should reserve
other conditions as necessary as requisites for local siting approval.
At this time, the state's political environment is not friendly for the
establishment of incinerators, whether for energy recovery or for volume reduction.
Since legislation may change, the ECICOG coordinator should continue to track, on
behalf of the region, state legislation as it affects incineration.
While the debate for a truly integrated waste management system still includes
incineration, the region should approach this alternative with caution. Turning over an
essential corporate purpose to a private entity requires a thorough investigation of risk.

IncineraJion For Volume Reduction
This option for waste management is considerably farther down the hierarchy
.
and opportunities for meeting the reduction goal through this method are extremely
limited. The region should track Iowa legislation and give limited time for assessment
of its appropriateness as a waste management alternative.
Sanitary Lan4filling
While this alternative is farthest down the hierarchy of preferred waste
management, sanitary landfilling will continue lo be a significant disposal option in the
future. The region should continue to investigate regionalization ,of landfilling and
cooperation in management efforts.

Cedar Rapids and Linn County have investigated and are pursuing a joint waste
management agency. If and when this agency is established, other local governments
should look for coordination opportunities. For instance, if a solid waste composling
facility were pronounced feasible and planning progressed, the region should consider
the extension of the Cedar Rapids and Linn County solid waste agency to include other
participants and bring the composting facility under operation of the agency. Should
Iowa City or Jones County choose to participate in the solid waste composling effort,
by joining with Cedar Rapids and Linn County under the auspices of a sub-regional
agency, further efficiency and cost-effectiveness could be achieved. Coordinated
disposal of materials may be possible among the landfills and may extend landfill life.

Tama County and Benton County should look for further coordination of waste
management, as well as recycling and waste reduction opportunities. Intergovernmental '
coordination could enhance both landffils' progress toward reduction.
As of July, 1993, all landfills in the region have a scale to track incoming waste
by weightj determination of each landfill's progress toward the 50 % goal will be
considerably easier. The ECICOG coordinator should compile tonnage figures and
prepare the necesSllly infonnation to determine the region's waste reduction progress,
according to IDNR's requirements.

Cumnt Waste Management Activities
Benton County
Benton County has chosen to offer county-wide recycling support by offering
each community a recycling trailer, which the county has had constructed. This
approach allows for some guidance from the county, but provides for local flexibility in
implementation. Communities have the option of using the trailers for a drop-off
program or a curbside col1ection program, or both. Newspaper, corrugated cardboard,
, milk jugs, metals and clear glass are col1ected by the county and then processed at the
county recycling center, located in Vinton. The county also colIects and processes oil
filters.
The program, under the direction of the county engineer, ,is growing in
participation. Actual participation is difficult to determine but is estimated to be 40-
50%~Month1y tonnages received at the county recycling facility started at around 35
tons, but both participation and tonnages are growing so that the facility is now taking
around 50 tons per month. The county has provided an educational piece regarding
materials collected, but educational support from ECICOG staff could be stronger to
increase participation and lower contamination.
The county has begun to address industrial wastes by charging a $40.oo/ton fee
on construction and demolition material. In addition, the county engineer has also
served more or less as a broker for some of this material, by finding alternative users.
This has been fairly successful, and ihe county is interested in continuing this effort,
since it's kept bulky, hard-to-manage wastes out of the landf1ll.

Iowa County
Iowa County supports both public and private recycling efforts. The City of
Marengo offers a monthly collection, held on Saturdays, which selVes much of the city
and county residents and brings in seven to ten tons a month. Several of the
communities in the county, such as Williamsburg and North English, have joined with
a private hauler and recycler to adopt a unit-based pricing system on garbage and a
curbside collection program. All communities have access to a recycling program but
participation rate is difficult to determine. Participation is probably higher in those
communities with a coordinated unit-based pricing system and comprehensive curbside
recycling. The private hauler offering these selVices in Iowa County claims waste
reduction rates as high as 50%.
Iowa County Sanitary Landfill receives considerable waste from industry and
commercial business in the northern part of the county. Probably the largest and latest
generator of waste in the county is the Tanager Outlet Mall, located at Williamsburg. A
private hauler is currently offering cardboard recycling, but certain items, such as
plastic film, are generated in very large quantities and at this time, are not collected as
completely as hoped. These additional wastes have slowed Iowa County's waste
reduction progress.
While programs are in place, and running efficiently, ECICOG staff
should work more closely with private haulers and solid waste staff toward greater
waste reduction by offering solid waste educational support, particularly in the area of
HHW, and technical assistance. ECICOO staff should promote the use of the By-

Iowa CIty
Iowa City has adopted a bi-weekly curbside recycling program. Newspaper,
clear glass, metals, and #1 and tf2 seamed plastics are collected. Participation is
,
estimated at around 30%. The city also collects yard waste, around 2,500 tons per
year, and accepts yard waste at the landfill for composting.
All other communities in the county,' with the exception of two, have a
recycling program. Participation in these programs is difficult to determine, but in
those communities with unit-based pricing and curbside recycling, such as Hills and
Coralville, participation is probably higher. In fact, one community with such a
program claims over 80% participation with a 50% waste reduction.
Iowa City and Johnson County have growing populations but have been able to
stem respective growth in waste buried at the landfill. 'The landfill has shown
considerable reductions, due in part to an educated and concerned populace and
significant participation from industry. Such industries as Proctor and Gambl~ and NCS
have achieved large reductions which are reflected at the landfill gate.

initiated such efforts as a waste reduction an~ recycling guide, an industrial recycling
program and a county-wide toxic waste clean-up day.
About 9% of all waste landfilled in the Iowa City landfill is from the
University. The University of Iowa, through aggressive recycling and waste reduction
efforts, has also achieved a significant reduction, about 19%. Paper and paper products
reduction and recycling efforts have been considerable with equal results. The
University's Waste Management Coordinator is also seeking to expand recycling in
student housing, University hospitals and clinics. Large roll-offs have been provided on
the Campus to collect materials. The University is now also working with IDNR's
Waste Reduction and Assistance Program.
ECICOG staff should work with solid waste officials in Iowa City, Johnson
County and the University of Iowa' to expand recycling efforts and fine-tune programs.

Educational support, particularly in the area of HHW, is needed. A thorough
investigation of a unit-based system for garbage in Iowa City should be done.

from the industrial/business sector. With an effective economic development program,
new businesses are being added every year, and existing businesses are expanding. This
poses continued waste management challenges for the area's largest landfIll, since its
remaining life is estimated at six years.
,While this area of the economy is growing, Cedar Rapids has still seen
reduction at the landfill, no doubt from the active participation of business and
industry. Several local companies have won the Governor's Waste Reduction Award,
and they serve as models for other companies.

The city landfill has encouraged large-scale recycling of asphalt and concrete,
and last year (FY93), the solid waste program manager estimated about 50,000 tons of
material was collected and recycled through this joint effort with Concrete Recyclers,
Inc.

The city has also adopted a successful roving recycling truck program. Every
day, the recycling truck sets up operations in a different area of the community to
accept dropped-off material. The range of materials that can be accepted this way is
greater than that which can be accepted at the curb. The program also favorably
compares in participation and material collected with other curbside recycling programs
in the country. This program collects over 4,000 tons per year and participation is
estimated at 25 %. Commuters from allover the county and region also lap into the

strongly encouraged. Residential recycling is offering through a cost-effective drop-off
program. The city also saw considerable reduction upon instituting a yard waste
collection and composting program. about 20,000 tons per year are collected.
In addition, the city has and will continue to investigate the viability of source-
$eparated solid waste composting, perhaps on a regional scale. The effort will be
another part of the city's total waste management scheme.
The city should continue waste reduction and recycling efforts in the industrial
sector, by further identifying and tar~eting easy-to-recycle wastes. Participation and
strong support' of the By-Products and Waste Search Service should continue.
Expansion of the residential drop-off program should be considered, along with the '
establishment of permanent sites. To extract as much material and participation from
the residential sector, the city should investigate the adoption of a unit-based pricing
system on garbage.

. Further coordination with Linn County and other landmIs, particularly Iowa
City, could result in marketing and management benefits for all. The, continued
. as$essment of solid waste composting, starting with a collection study (investigating co-
coliection of recyclables), may result i~ a more formalized cooperation among the three
landfills. Coordinated management and disposal should definitely be considered,
especially upon the establishment of a solid waste composting facility.

Jones County
Jones County has made significant progress toward its 50% goal by banning all
identified recyclabies from the landfill. Every community in the county has a curbside
recycling, program, anil county residents use the drop-offs at the landfill. The Men's
Refonnatory 'at Anamosa offers minimal recycling processing. Many recyclables
collected by private haulers go to the Cedar County facility in Tipton or to the facility
in Maquoketa. Because of the landfill ban, citizen participation is considered high.
ECICOG should work more closely with solid waste staff to promote the By.
Products and Waste Search Service among businesses, and to expand educational
efforts to increase participation and reduce contamination. Solid waste staff should
investigate further management coordination with area landfills and marketing
opportunities to increase the number of materials recycled.

Tama County
Tama County's support of local waste reduction and recycling programs has
been limiied. Most communities have recycling programs, but four communities do
not. There is no consistent waste reduction and recycling policy throughout the county
or at the landfill. Due to increased tourism activities at the Mesquakie settlement, waste
going to the landfill has grown. In fact, the county's landfill shows a gradual increase
in tonnage buried over six years.
The landfill commission has been investigating waste reduction and recycling
policies and coordination of recycling activities with Benton County. This should be
continued. The commission should, through a policy directive, require every
community to offer a waste' reduction and recycling program, collecting at least
newspaper, clear glass, metals" and #2 plastics. Pamcipation in the regional
implementation plan should be tracked. The ECICOG staff should provide significant
technical assistance and education support to encourage Tama County's efforts.

Unn COUnty
Linn County recently completed' a county-wide recycling planning effort which
.
had every community establish a recycling program and file a recycling plan with the
supervisors. To this date, every community has participated except onej this
community was waiting for a change in city administrative staff to take place before
further action is ,taken. Linn County has achieved significant reductions at the landfill, '
and participation in the proposed solid waste composting facility and further
coordination with Cedar Rapids through the county solid waste management agency
should assist the county in meeting the 50% goal.
The county should ensure that all communities have a waste reduction and
recycling program and that rural residents are adequately served. The county should
, take advantage of the previous planning process and expand these efforts' to achieve
maximum reduction. The construction of the recycling center/transfer, to be completed
summer, 1994, station will further enhance the county's existing recycling program
and assist' active private haulers in offering' services to residents and communities.
Closer coordination with these haulers should be sought.

Cedar Rapids Water TrellJ!nent and Water Pollution Control
These two process landfills currently bury material which should used in,
alternative methods. The Cedar Rapids Water Treatment facility has significantly
increased its disposal, due to tremendous growth in the industrial and commercial
business sector. Supporting material for economic growth, supplied, by Priority One
(the area's economic development organization) shows that since 1986, civilian labor
force has grown by 8,800 people and resident employment increased by 10,700
workers. In that time, forty new companies have been attracted to the area and thirty_
six existing companies have expanded. Increased labor force and new businesses have
placed a tremendous demand upon the water treatment facility. In fact, to accomodate
existing industry and to remain a competitive economic development center, the City of
Cedar Rapids is currently constructing a $30 million water treatment plant.

With this data supporting the growth of the water treatment landfill's sludge
disposal due to a period of tremendous economic growth in the Cedar Rapids area, the
swr AC choose to use the PY88 figures in the waste abatement table for all six years.
Both the Cedar Rapids and Linn County landf1lIs should investigate the use of
lime sludge and fly ash as a partial substitute for daily cover and for land application.
The BCICOG staff and local solid waste officials should actively include officials from
these facilities in future waste management planning. Significant reductions could be
achieved.

Tonnage Figures
.
Tonnage figures for each landfill over the past six years are presented.
Quarterly reports for FY88 were not required at the time, so annual figures were
provided by each landfill.
Comparisons against Fy88 figures are provided.

Population Estimates
population estimates are provided for the development of the waste abatement'
tables. 1980 and 1990 US Census figures are used, and 1980-1990 estimates were
developed using the linear regression method.
Populati9n projections were ~eveloped, again using the linear regression method
and year 2000 population estimates from Woods and Poole.
'0(..
Service area populations are provided for Cedar Rapids, Linn County, Iowa
County and Iowa City.
i
i
Waste Abatemeat Table
/'
Using the population estimates and tonnage figures supplied by landfills, a
regional waste abatement table and a table for each landfill was developed. The
regional abatement table shows a 25.96% reduction. Figures for waste landfilled differ
from the tonnage figures reported. The Fy88 figure from the Cedar Rapids Water
Treatment facility was used for all six years, due to considerable increased growth in'
the industrial/commercial sector.
However, around 100,000 tons has been reduced from area landfills since Fy88.
This, combined with increased population, results in a reduction greater than 25 %. To
meet the year 2000 goal, the region needs to hold waste production in line and target
100,000 more tons for reduction.

STATEMENT BEFORE THE EAST CENTRAL IOwA COI!NCIL
OF GOVERNMENTS REGARDING THE PROPOSED
, REGIONAL COMPREHENSIVE SOLID WASTE V~NAGEMENT PLAN
October 5, 1993
I'm Sue Bentley, Natural Resources Chair of the Cedar
Rapids-Marion League of Women Voters. ~e've monitored the
East Central Iowa Council' of Government's solid waste
reduction program since its beginning, We're very pleased
at the progress that's been made and we commend the ECICOG
Board, the Technical, Advisory Committee and local officials
for all they've accomplished,
Public education was a logical way to begin when the
waste Reduction and Recycling Act first took effect. #e
appreciate the fine work you've done in education and hope
it continues. But this plan seems overly-reliant on simply
educating the public. At some point, public education yields
diminishing, returns and the time arrives for direct action.
#e fully support the reduction goals in item V, but we need
more information on how those goals will be achieved.
#e'd like to see source reduction addressed in the
plan, particularly of 'excessive and redundant paCkaging
materials, throw-away consumer goods, non-recyclable
materials,' and articles with planned obsolescence,
Unit-based pricing provides good motivation tor
recycling and reduction of wastes. vie advocate unit price
reductions for businesses, haulers, and households that
sort and prepare their wastes for reCYCling.

Convenience also encourage recycling and reduction.
The proposed assessment of curbside recycling in item II-B
should be dropped in favor of a plan to implement curbside
recycling programs where none yet exist. Curbside recycling
has alrea~y been proven to be successful in communities
across the country and within the ECICOG region. At the
very least, plan pilot programs in major communities so
local officials can see for themselves that curbside recycling
is effective.
The league of liomen Voters has cosponsored two
"'foxic Cleanup Days" in Linn County. The public demonstrated
a strong desire to properly dispose of hazardous household
wastes. We fully agree that a permanent collection center
should be established. People don't want to store hazardous,
waste at home for several years while waiting for another
Toxic Cleanup Day. Some don't wait and dis~ose of hazardous
wastes in unsafe manners. Across the ECICOG region, more
than one collection center may be needed.
we also found that it's expensive and dangerous, if
not impossible, to dispose of unwanted pesticides. ECICOG
should include in its implementation plan establishment of
a pesticide information exchange where Eastern Iowa farmers
, ,
with excess herbicides and insecticides can locate other
farmers who need those materials.
Nhen assessing the feasibility of the regional
composting facility in item II-D, please consider the
$5.5 million cost, annual operating expenses, the 'hauling
distances involved, and the lack of flexibility ofa central
plant. Conventional composting methods, such as windrowing
yard wastes on farm fields, can go a long way toward
reducing wastes and are easily altered. Sewage sludge
should be ap~lied to enrich and speed the decomposition
of compost. IIhatever method is used, it's important to
return nutrients to the soil.

Our landfills are filling rapidly. ~ew regional
landfills ,will be indispensable in the very near future
and planning should proceed right away. &e've appended a
copy of the Nationsl League of &omen Voter's position on
waste management with five siting criteria we hope you'll
use.
I
I
I
Please remember that waste incineration is mandated
by law to be the last resort before landfilling, only
after all source reduction and recycling measures have failed.
We would thoroughly approve regional marketing of
recycled materials. It's a wonderful idea and it's an
area where ECICOG can greatly benefit its members.
ECICOG can also fill an important role by obtaining
legislative and administrative clarification of obscure
rules and vague regulatory definitions that govern waste
disposal. Besides tracking legis~ation, please plan to
establish and maintain direct contact with state legislators.
Polluters are quick to co~plain about environmental
legislation. You're in a unique position to understand the
problems of waste disposal in Eastern Iowa and our lawmakers
need your feedback.
\~e'll be following your w~rk with great inter"st.
Thanks very much for listening to our concerns.

October 7, 1993 testimony given to the Johnson County Solid
Waste Management Technical Advisory Committee by the League
of Women Voters of Johnson County
The League of Women Voters of Johnson County appreciates the
opportunity to'comment on the first update of the regional
Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan for the
participating counties in the East Central Iowa Council of
Governments.
Our review of the updated Implementation Plan has been done
in cooperation with League members of Marion and Cedar
Rapids. It is the regional approach to achieving the
intention of the Iowa Groundwater Protection Act of 1987
that both of our Leagues support. The League of Women
Voters of the United States believes that the federal
government should provide leadership, guidance and financial
assistance to encourage regional planning and decision
making to enhance local and state capabilities for resource
management. More specifically, this position includes
support for regional, interregional and/or international
cooperation when appropriate and the existence of mechanisms
appropriate to each region that will provide coordinated
planning and administration among units of government,
governmental agencies and the privat'e sector. In its
position on local government, the League of Women Voters of
Iowa emphasizes the need for increased area-wide and city-
county planning and for strengthening interlocal
cooperation.

To promote coordination and cooperation among governmental
units, the League of Johnson County is sending a copy of
this testimony to the Solid Waste Management Technical
Advisory Committee of Eastern Iowa Council of, Governments,
the Iowa City City Council, the Johnson County Board of
Supervisors, the Iowa City Community School District, the
Iowa City Press Citizen, the Cedar Rapids Gazette, the
League of Women Voters of Iowa, and the Cedar Rapids/Marion
League of Women Voters.
Participating communities are to be congratulated in
achieving sizeable percentages of landfill volume reduction,
but as we face the 50% reduction target of the year 2000,
the hardest work is yet to come. Citizens want to know why,
what, how, and when they can see the effects of responsible
behavior towards protecting of natural resources.
Nationally, the League of Women Voters promotes an
environment beneficial to life through the protection and
wise management of natural resources in the public interest
by recognizing the interrelationships of air quality,
energy, land use, waste management, and water resources. We
believe it is necessary to promote public understanding and
participation in decision making as essential elements of

responsible anQ responsive management of our natural
resources.
We urge the Johnson County Solid Waste Management Technical
Advisory Committee to document the unit costs of recycling
for a better understanding of local initiatives tOl'lards home
owners' reduction behaviors. Citizens need to have
explained the economic costs and benefits of what is being
proposed, And to participate in the spirit of the
communities' . endeavors, they need to see the regional
perspective and how they fit into it. A basic action step
of the League is citizen education. In 1989, we co-
sponsored with Environmental Advocates a televised program
on the East Central Iowa Council of Governments
Comprehensive Plan. As our region matures in the
alternatives we attempt to achieve wise management of our
natural resources, the League looks forward to participating
with you in achieving specific objectives pertaining to
citizen education.
Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to
publically participate in commenting on the Comprehensive
Plan Update,
League of Women Voters of Johnson County
President, Kathy Penningroth

REGIONAL COMPREHENSIVE
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
WORK SESSION
Tuesday, July 20, 1993
Iowa Room, Iowa Hall
Kirkwood Community College
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
See attached list of attendants.
1. Introductions and Welcome:
, Liz Christiansen, Regional Solid Waste Planning Coordinator for East Central
Iowa Council of Governments, opened the meeting by welcoming the group. The
purpose of the meeting is to educate the landfill input committees concerning the update
process, Iowa solid waste management law, the current plan and implementation plan
and current solid waste mana~ement activities according to the hierarchy. All
committee members will receive a copy of the meeting minutes, including those who
were invited but could not attend. The meeting was also videotaped. . .
Liz explained the relationship of the Solid Waste Technical Advisory Committee
and the ECICOG Policy Board. Seven landfills serving six counties are including in the
East Central Iowa Council of Governments solid waste planning area. The solid waste
planning coordinator works with all the landfills to ensure the implementation of the
regional plan.
2. Explanation of Update Process
Subsequent plans (updates) must inclllde the following:
updates of baseline infonnation - this will include updates on legislation,
po~ulation, landfilling, recycling and composting figures, fees, landfill policies,
estimated landli11 life, re-estimate of waste generation and components, update of other
disposal options, etc. '
summaries of public involvement and education activities - this will detail
various educational activities on a regional and local basis such as Waste Busters, the
Stonn Sewer Labelling Program, League of Women Voters' programs, model policy
de'(elopment, material development (brochures), speaking engagements, Toxic Waste
Clean Up Days, other activities
updates on public participation opporlunities - any public hearings or meetings
held to gather infonnation and opinions such as town meetings for local recycling
programs, readings of ordinances, landfill and solid waste commission heanngs and
special meetings, and' county public input committee meetings ,
letters of cooperation from all local governments in the planning area - in
cases where a landfill or solid waste commission operate (I'ama, Benton, Iowa and
Jones Counties), a letter from the commission will suffice if the commission represents
all local governments which use the landfill. In the case of Iowa City, a letter will be
needed from both the City Council and the Johnson County Board of Supervisors. Linn
County may submit a letter from the Board of Supervisors
re-evaluation of alJernatives according to the state's waste management
hierarcllY - solid waste composting must be discussed, as well as new reduction,
recycling and re-use opportunities (i.e., UNI's Waste Reduction Center, Cedar River
Paper Company, Special collections)

an implementation plan and schedule for the next six year period. an update '
of the present implementation schedule, possibly includin~ dating for a regional
composting facility, Cedar River Paper Company, consolidation of landfilling and other
waste management activities
. a thorough evaluation of progress toward meeting the stale volume reduction
and recycling goal. a review of landf1lling and reduction and recycling progress, the
completed solid waste abatement and reduction and recycling tables
a discussion of the successes and failures of the programs implemented since
the previous plan had ,been submiJted
3, Review of Solid Waste Management Law
Groundwater Protection Act of 1987 (HF631)
1. Comprehensive Planning
Comprehensive solid waste management plans are required by this law. These
plans must address how tipping entities (sanitary landfills) WIll manage solid waste in
their service area within the state's hierarchy of waste management: .

1. Volume reduction at the source
2. Recyclin~ and reuse (can include com~sting)
3. Combustion for energy recovery (can mclude
refuse-derived fuel)
4. Combustion for volume reduction
5. Sanitary landfill
Part 1 . Landfills are required to have this ~art of the comprehensive plan in
place before a new sanitary disposal permit will be ISSUed, and before any existing
permits may be renewed. Implementation of the Part 1 approach is required before July
1, 1997. Updates will be required every three years, to account for economic and
technological changes. (The regional plan for the ECICOG area waS,completed and
approved in Spring 1990). ,
, Part 2 . Sanitary landfills will be'required to provide for closure plans for the
facility, post-closure maintenance of the site for at least 30 years, maintenance of final
cover, operntion and maintenance of a leachate control system, and a groundwater and
gas momtoring system. Estimated cost to local governments owning and opernting solid
waste disposal facilities will be considerable.
2, Additional Tonnage Fee
An additional fee of $4.25/ton of waste is now required (over and above
whatever sanitary landfills are currently charging to cover operation and maintenance).
A portion of the fee ($3.30/ton) is sent to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to
support state planning efforts, and a portion ($0.95/ton) is kept locally to help fund the
implementation of solid wasle plans (includin~ wasle reduction and recycling
programs). The first $0.50 of this local fund IS to be used for implementing

Comprehensive Plan (both Part I and Part 2). The second $0.45 is to be used for waste
reduction and recycling programs.,
Waste Reduction and Recycling Act of 1989 (HF753)
I
I
This all-encompassing legislation establishes waste reduction goals of 25 % by
July I, 1994 and 50% by July I, 2000. Progress toward those goals can only be
achieved through waste reduction and recycUTlglreuselcomposting (although no more
than 50% of the waste reduction requirement shall be met through inclusion of
reduction attributable to refuse-derived fuel. Only fuel derived from paper and
paperboard products which are not recyclable due to contamination or unrecyclable
because of composition may be used).
The law also prohibits from landfLIling:
July 1, 1990. No bevel1lge containers (redeemable)
July 1, 1990 . No waste oil, lead acid batteries
Jan. 1, 1991. No yard waste Oocal governments were to
have had ordinances in place by 3/21/91)
July 1, 1991 . No whole tires
Some additional items...
. retailers selling lead acid batteries must take old batteries for recycling at the
point of sale, post information on lead acid battery recycling and the landfill ban on
lead acid batteries '
. retailers sellin~ oil must post information concerning safe disp,osal of waste oil
and either take waste oil for recycling or provide information where oil can be
recycled. '
.after July I, 1993, a retailer cannot sell in Iowa alkaline manganese batteries
that contain more than 0.025 % of mercury by weight or a button cell battery which
contains more than 0.025 mg of mercury. After January I, 1996 a retailer cannot sell
alkaline manganese household batteries to which mercury has been added.
.beginning July I, 1996 a household battery management system must be in
place, including one of the following:
1) elimination or reduction of heavy metals
2) establishment of a recycling progl1lm
3) establishment of means for collection and disposal
4) rules and penalties
. new rules on rechargeable batteries. a rechargeable battery must be easily
removed by the consumer, clearly labelled for recycling and proper disposal
. a person owning or operating a waste tire collection or processing site shall
provide certain financial assurances. A permit for opel1ltion is now required
. a city council or county board of supervisors which provides for the collection
of solid waste by its residents snall consider as a proposed ordinance, the mandatory
curbside collection of recyclable materials '
4. ECICOG Regional Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan
and Implementation Plan
LIZ reviewed the management and implementation plans from the Regional
Comprehensive Solid Wasle Management Plan. The plan recommends beginning with

low-risk, low capital expenditure options and evaluating the success of those before
higher-risk, higher capital options are taken. The plan also strongly recommends
flexibility, allowing adjustment to new technology. Decision-making should stay at the
local level as much as possible, while regionalization must be investigated and
encouraged.
Don Cell, Mt. Vernon, noted that volume- (or unit-) based systems for waste
collection had not been discussed under polume reduction allhe source in the first
plan, and should included this time.
See attached implementation plan. Some items discussed included:
A. Volume Reduction
Encourage industrial and commercial volume reduction - here ECICOG
coordinates with UNI's Waste Reduction Center and roNR's Waste Reduction
Assistance Program. Both programs work directly with business and industry to
exchange and reduce waste.
B. Composting
At the time the first plan was developed, the discussion of a regional
yard waste composting facility was a required element. Area landfills have different
policiesj some accept yard waste for composting or land application, some do not
accept it and rely on communities to handle it. Large-scale yard waste composting is
conducted by Cedar Rapids. Some composting of yard waste is done by private haulers.
C. Recycling
The fltst plan recommended that communities establiSh voluntary drop-
off and conduct education. Many communities by-passed drop-off and went directly to
curbside collection. ECICOG has assisted many communities in the development of
local educational materials. Several private brokers provide local markets for
recyclables. Much regional coordination of marketing is discussed at the monthly
SWTAC meetings. ECICOG is developing waste reduction, recy,cling and procurement
policies for adoption by local governmentsj these should be aVlUlable by October.
Private enterprise offers Qpportunities for collection and recycling of waste oil,
auto batteries and tires. Special tire collection programs, funded by state grants, were
conducted in Johnson and Linn County. The importance of an advance disposal fee on
tires was discussed.
D.,E. Waste-to-energy, Incineration for Volume Reduction
Liz reminded the group that the Iowa legislature is ensuring that waste
reduction, recycling, reuse and composting are considered as options for waste
management before incineration. There is currently a ban on commercial incinerators
until the Iowa Department of Natural Resources develops rules consistent with the
Clean Air Act. The SwrAC has been approached by a private interest, but no action is
planned. The first plan recommended that Incineration be considered only if it is
apparent the 25 % and 50% waste reduction goals will not be met. '
Carol Casey, University of Iowa, said the University is permitted to
bum tires with coal in the power plant.

F. Landfilling .
Systematic landfill closure has been precluded by requirements by IDNR
that all landfills comply with establishment of leachate collection and control systems,
etc. Many smaller counties in Iowa are keeping landfills open to meet the costs of these
environmental requirements. Regionalization of landfilling is being discussed. Linn
County and Cedar Rapids are in the process of combining waste management
programs, leading to Ute eventual closure of Ute Cedar Rapids landfill and Ute
establishment of Ute Linn County landfill as a regional one. Coordination has been
discussed between Iowa City and Cedar Rapids.
Liz presented Ute land filling figures for Ute region's landfills. See
attachment, and note on Iowa City's Fy93 figure.
5. Proposed Comprehensive Plan Update Process
Dave Hogan, City of Cedar Rapids and Chair of Ute ECICOG Solid Waste
Technical Advisory Committee, discussed the proposed update process, see attached.
Each landfill was requested to establish an input committee to ensure public '
participation during Ute update process. Written comments will be accepted until
November 5. Dave said tlie SWTAC will review and respond to all public comments,
after November 5. The group agreed by consensus to Ute proposed agenda. The
finalized plan is due to IDNR in January, 1994.
6. Update of Regional and Local Solid Waste Activities
Liz quickly went through Ute local activities in solid waste management. She
estimated Utat 75% of the region's communities have access to recycling programs.
Regional solid waste composting is being investigated.
Mike Berkshire, ECICOG's Solid Waste Education Planner spoke about
educational efforts at Ute regional level, highlighting Ute stonn sewer labelling
program, Ute Waste Watch video series and the public service announcements
concerning illegal dumping. A question was asked whether the local networks could be
approached about airing the shows. Mike will investigate this. A suggestion was made
to develop "waste watches,' much like neighborhood safety watches, to track illegal
dumping of waste. ,
7, Conclusion
Public hearings will be held October 5; 7 PM at Kirkwood Community College
and October 7 in Iowa City. Persons with questions concerning the plan or the update
process should contact Liz Christiansen, % ECICOG, P.O. Box 2068, Cedar Rapids,
Iowa 52406, or call 319/398-1266.

MINUTES
JCCOG COUNTY SOLID WASTE PLANNING COMMITTEE
THURSDAY, AUGUST 26,1993 - 7:00 P.M.
IOWA CITY CIVIC CENTER, LOBBY CONFERENCE ROOM
MEMBERS PRESENT:
Susan Horowitz - Iowa City
Pat Meade. Johnson County
Kerry Fitzpatrick. Procter & Gamble
Carol Casey. University of Iowa
Pam Ehrhardt - Environmental Advocates
Brad Neumann - JCCOG
MEMBERS ABSENT:
Chuck Hippee - North Liberty
Marty Jones. University Haights
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. Neumann went over the minutes from the July
20, 1993 ECICOG Informational meeting pertaining to the update. The group then discussed
how the Johnson County Solid Waste Planning Committee fit into the regional planning
picture.' A planning flow chart provided by ECICOG was used to illustrate how Johnson
County fit into the process. Deadlines were discussed so the committee knew when their part
of the plan needed to be to ECICOG. The committee was not clear on this date. Neumann
said he would find out when ECICOG needed the' update.
To update Johnson County's portion of the plan, the committee used the current implemen-
tation schedule found in the comprehensive plan. The committee discussed volume reduction,
, composting, recycling, waste to energy, incineration for volume reduction, land filling, and
landfill prohibitions.
VOLUME REDUCTION:
The committee agreed that education should be a high priority il') volume reduction followed
by economic incentives or volume based systems. However, in order to better educate
residents, the committee felt that a complete waste stream analysislinventory should be
completed first. Profiling each community's waste stream would be good education alone.
Compiling profiles should begin soon.
COMPOSTING:
The committee felt that the composting of not only yard waste should be reviewed but also
solid waste composting. The two types of composting potential need to be known before
special collection and transportation systems are needed to take the material to a compost
fecility. Costs associated with a solid waste composting facility should be studied to
determine whether a facility could be utilized locally or if a regional facility should be purs'ued.
RECYCLING:
The committee agreed that all collection and marketing programs should be reviewed annually.
Annual reviews would allow for adjustments In the markets and allow for the most efficient
and convenient collection methods to be used.

WASTE TO ENERGY:
This issue should only be considered when legislation allows waste to energy material to
count toward the 25% and 50% reduction goals. The committee discussed the value of
waste to energy as part of an integrated waste management system. Some thought reaching
50% reduction without it may be impossible.
INCINERATION FOR VOLUME REDUCTION:
The group felt that this option should not be considered.
LANDFILLlNG:
The committee felt that the possibility of forming i1landfill commission should be discussed.
Landfill management could become easier if run by a commission.
LANDFILL PROHIBITIONS:
The group felt that incentives and alternatives should be in place prior to any landfill ban.
Landfill bans should be one of the last options used and prefarably closer to the year 2000.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
The two members unable to attend the meeting were contacted for additional input. These
mambers agreed with the committee recommendations.

III. DEVELOPING OPTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
of Cooperat.!.Q.n
Ide~tifying the planning area for the Part I Comprehensive plan
involves listing all counties, cities and municipalities, both in
state and out-of-state, that will be using any of the sanitary
disposal facilities in the planning area. Since all
Comprehensive plans must be prepared "in conjunction with all
local governments using or planning to use the sanitary disposal
project", letters of cooperation from each local government in
the' planning area must be a part of the Comprehensive plan.
These letters must contain:
,
\
Plan
and
waste

_ A statement that the Comprehensive
reviewed by the governmental body
governmental body is committed to the
and recycling goals of 25% and 50%.
_ A statement that the governmental body adopts and will
make its best' effort to put into action the
implementation plan and schedule contained in the
Comprehensive plan.

ge~cription of the.Plannin~Area
The Plan must include the location of existing solid waste
management 'facilities, population centers, transportation routes,
climate, natural and historic or archaeologic features, and
existing agency jurisdictions for collection and disposal of
solid waste., While this description will focuS on a specific
geographic region for collection and disposal of waste, it is
recognized that not all of the area's facilities for recycling
and energy recovery may lie in the same areas as waste
generation. One or more of these activities may be shared with
other planning regions. If so, indicate the agencies involved
and how this plan fits in with plans from other planning areas.
If' out-of-state waste is to be managed at an Iowa facility, the
waste must be managed in accordance with Iowa law. This means
that any out-of-state locality must establish and implement a
solid waste reduction program for its residents prior to waste
disposal at an Iowa landfill. A description of the program must
be' included in the Comprehensive Plan. ConverselY, if waste
generated in Iowa is to be disposed of in a landfill outside of
the state, waste reduction and recycling should be implemented by
th~ generator before the waste is transported out of the state.

Attached you will find a stanis report from the US, Department of
. Transportation that discusses the merits of various transportation allowance
programs for commuting employees, Ordinarily such programs only provide
subsidies for parking or perhaps for transit use, The status report fOCtlSes on
transit and vanpool allowances; parking allowances for carpools; differential
allowances for transit, ridesharing, and parking; and general travel
allowances, The last is by far the most interesting and the most promising.
Under a general travel allowance program, employees receive unrestricted
monthly travel allowances. They can use the travel allowance however they
see fit. Employers then typically charge a monthly fee for use of parking
spaces. There's much more to it than that, of course, but the bottom line is
that reducHons In solo driving shares (up to 30 percent) have been achieved
at employ-ment sites where transit, ridesharing biking and walking
incentives are packaged with parking charges for solo drivers or subsidy.
. reductions for emplll.y-ee parking,
I do not claim to know much about our intemal policy toward subsidizing
various modes of commuting, but I can see that general travel allowances
have the 'potentlal to reduce peak hour traffic on arterials leading to and from
major employers in town,

· transit fare allawances or sl/bsidies
· vanpool fare allowances
· parking allowances or free parking
· general travel allowances
Transit fare subsidies (typically via subsidized passes,
but sometimes via direct employer payments to
employe~s),have been around for some time. Yanpool
fare/cost subsidies are becoming more common over the
past decade or so.
Parking subsidies have been around for decades,
although differential subsidy programs that increase
subsidy amounts as the carpool occupancy increases are
much more recent.

Transit and Vanpool Allowances
These prolil'ams include conventional transit fare
subsidies and more recent variations such as the
Trnnsitcheck and Commllterbl/Cks programs. We have long
experience with employee transit fare subsidies via
subsidized transit passes where employers and transit
agencies have set up procedures for distributing
subsidized transit passes. The variations mentioned above
incorporate certain innovations, flexibility and/or new
administrative procedures for HOY subsidies.
The Transitcheck program in New York City area nl is
run by a quasi.public transportation organization called
Transit Center. It administers a transit voucher program
where employers can purchase regional transit vouchers
for $ 21. It can be given to employees who can use it to
purchase tokens, tickets and passes from any of the
region's public and private transit operators. [t is a simple
way for employers to provide transit fare subsidies to
employees. All the administrative and accounting
requirements ~re handled. by the Transit Center and Its

Many employers around the country are offerine their
employees trans~ortation allowances that typically
increase with ve cle occupancy. These programs have
achieved.,relatively high shares of non.single occupant
mode of travel by their employees. Examples include:
Atlantic Richfield Company, Twentieth Century
Insurance Company, Bank of America and South Coast
Alr Quality Management Dislrictln the Los Angeles
region; Nuclear Regulatory Commission in suburban
Washington D.C.- MO, area; Bellevue City Hall in
Washington; and,San Diego Trust and Savings Bank.
Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) at its downtown
Los Angeles location has an elaborate allowance program
that includes: reduced fare transit and commuter rail
passes and parking allowances that increase with vehicle
occupancy.PA The program covers over 2,000 employees.
Transit allowance for various bus services and vanpool
allowance is $15 per participating employee per month.
Rail allowance Is one third of the monthiy cost, not to
exceed $ 25. Solo drivers have one third of their parking
costs (rates are approximately $ 120 per month)
subsidized. Carpools with 2 persons have two-thirds of
the cost subsidized while carpools with 3 or more persons
have their parking costs fully covered, ARCO has a
, transportation office whose staff spends considerable time
to coordinate and administer the program, determine
eligibility, process requests for changes and to monitor
legitimate uses, Since the transit and vanpool allowance is
limited to $15 per employee per month, it is treated as a '
tax free reimbursement to the employee. Solo driver and
carpool allowances are tax free to employees because they
are parking subsidies.
ARCO Transportation Company, located in Long Beach,
charges solo drivers full parking rates. Two person
carpools receive free parking, Carpools with three or
more persons get free parking plus each member gets
additional allowance of $ 15 per month, The company
pays fully for transit passes, Those who walk or bicycle
receive an allowance of$15 per month,m
Nuclear Regulatory CommissionlNRC, 1,400
employees) in suburban Maryland in the Washington
O.c. area has high parking charges for solo drivers but
provides some subsidies for carpool parking and for
transit users, They reduced solo share from 54 to 42
percent as a result of these allowances.PII
Twentieth Century Insurance Company In Los Angeles
area used to provide full parking subsidy of $ 45 per
month to all Its employees who drove to work. Several
years ago, they implemented a comprehensive allowance
program. The parking allowance for solo drivers was
reduced and set at $ 30 per month. Carpool parking
allowance was kept at $ 45 per month (full subsidy),
Transit and vanpool allowances also were introduced,
The allowance program increased the average vehicle
occupancy from 1.10 to 1.46 (solo share dropped from 90
to 55 percent).P,7I,
San Diego TnlSt & Savings Bank IS01'5B) with 550
employees provides parking allowance of$ 55 per month
to solo drivers (Monthly rates are in the range of $ 80 to $
120), $ 70 per month to two person carpools and $ 100 to
carpools with 3 or more persons. Transit rlding
employees receive full reimbursement of transit fares.
25 percent to cover the income tax bite. The solo shares
for the Bank employees Is 55 percent while they average
80 percent at nearby sites. The bank management believes
that the allowance program costs much less than
subsidizing parking fully for all employees,lII

Some of the most significant shifts from solo driving
to HOV modes by employees appear to have been
achieved by em loyers via introduction of enecal travel
al owances w can u t e emp oyees wi thout

Commuter Computer and the Law firm of latham and
Watkins in los Angeles area; American Hospital Supply
Company in Illinois; and Linowes and Blocher in
Maryland,
City 0 West Holl od, CA., in 1986, incorporated a
travel a owance program for its employees. Egyees
who use modes other than solo driving and relinquish
their parkin~ space can receive in-lieu travel allowance of
$ 45 per month (the cost of leasing a parking space). The
parking use declined 15 percent as a result of the
program.m
em loyee can use the allowance as the choose (except
those w 0 want to use it as a tax free allowance must use
it to park at the company provided spaces - if they are
given a place), Each emplovee fills out a form by the 20th
of each month designating the use of the allowance for the
n~th. This is done for accounting and payroll
purposes. Vanpoolers can use all for vanpool or pocket a
parI. for transit users, the company will buy the pass and
reduce the amount to be paid, The rest is pocketed by the
employee. For the designated parking facility, there is a
waiting list, but for those who are on it, the company will
buy the monthly cards and treats the amount as
non.taxable. Those choosing to park elsewhere, receive
allowance as taxable income. Those walkin~ or bicycling
pocket the allowance. When the aHowance program was
first introduced, the solo share fell from 48 to 8
percent.nO,1IJ

Program Con~oI
,
,
Much ~eater reductions in soJo drivine shares (up to
30 percent) ave been achieved at employment sites
where transit and ridesharing incentives are packaged
with parking charges lor solo drivers or subsidy
reductions for employee parking."' At some of these
locations, the reductions in parking subsidies or
implementation of parking charges for solo drivers have
been made feasible by making generallravel allowances
available to the employees,
In other words, il an emplover wishes to reduce solo
driving significantly (whether to save on parking spaces
and costs, or to comply with local regulatory
requirements), p'arking subsidy reductions and/or
additional arkin char es for solo drivers would have to
be made a part 0 any em~ oyer based trip reduction
pro am, Then, transit an ridesharin allowances and
carpool allowances or parking discounts ceu e
considered to achieve the trip reduction goals, In some 01
these situations, general travel allowances in lieu of
parking subsidies might become necessary to enroll solo
drivers' support for such programs.
III. IMPLEMENTATION
Rationales For Setting Up The Programs
These ro ams have been ursued under a variety of
rationales. In some cases, such as Pacific Northwest ell
aruiCH2M Hill, employers have implemented them at
least partly as a measure to control parking costs. In
others, such programs have been viewed as making
feasible additional economic development duetO the
/reed up parkine or road space. While some employers
who have instituted the programs have pointed out
intangible benefits 01 these programs such as improved
employee morale, reduced tardiness and help in
attracting and retaining employees by enhancing
employer image, these seldom appear, by themselves, to
have been enough to pursue these programs,
In WJ)e cases, such a,s at the Commuter Computer,
the programs have resulted /rom pressures /rom
emplovees interested in usin~ transit or ridesharing and
rec{)gnizlng the Inequity of traditional employer role
Ifmited to parking subsidies. In numerous locations, the

allowance programs have been realized as a direct result
of pressures of meeting the requirements of recently
enacted TSM or other owth mana ementordinances or
regu ations such as SCAQMD Reg, XV (e,g" several
programs in the Los Angeles Area). Lastly, in a few cases,
more proactive companies have agreed to become good
dtizens" by partidpating in sodally and environmentally
sound transportanon policies (e,g" ARCO and Linowes
ani:! Biocher),
Eligibility Requirements
There is considerable variation in how the eligibility
requirements are set and enforced, Requirements are
generally set to meet certain trip reduction goals
..whether explicit or implidt. Local situation regarding
parking, road congestion and environment and the nature
and intensity of pressures from employees and their
unions also have played a role sometimes.
The requirements pertain to which modes to include
in the allowance program; how to treat equity (the
amount of subsidy and tax consequences) across
em 10 ees usin different modes; and howtotreat
existing versus new emp oyees. ome companies like
Latham 8< Watkins law hrm in Los Angeles area have
pursued g~neral travel allowance programs largely to
overcome the difficulties of setting most equitable
requirements, Such programs are inherently more
equitable and fair according to manv observers,
Monitoring Procedures and Admlnistratlon

[
Monitoring requirements surrounding these
programs Include: ensuring that deSignated carpools are
legitimate and remain so; preventing misuse and transfer
of subsidized transit passes and ensuring that the
allowances are accounted properly from the standpoint of
\ taxes. Again, general travel allowances which car few
restrlchons WI em are e easiest to monitor.
Typically, many organizations play an administrative
role in setting up and running such programs. Employers
are ultimately responsible for setting up the programs,
developing eligibility requirements for their employees
and checking proper use periodically, monitoring and
proper accounting. Often, regional public or quasi.public

agendes also playa role in administration. particularly in
plaMing and implementation. Their continued
participation, however, is unusual except in case of
complex programs such as Transitcheck which
coordinates numerous different passes and services,
in general, the private sector left to itself probably
might have a greater incentive to pursue a program, such
as a general travel allowance program, with the simplest
administrative and monitoring requirements, In fact,
among existing programs, where employers have taken
full initiative to develop programs, they have largely set
up general travel allowance programs.

Reactions of Managers and Employees
The acceptance by emplovers of the more innovative
allowance pro ams has been slow. Typically,
conSI era e time as een taken up assessing the
potential benefits from such programs,ln many cases,
what finallv brou&ht th~ m"""gement aroundjo
implement allowance programs was not the benefit cost
assessment, but the requirements for trip reductions
imposea oy local ordinances.
On the benefit side, while
the employers have shown
some a ppreciation for
pOlentialintangible benefits
of allowance programs such
as increased employee
morale, less tardiness,
recruitment and retention value and employer Image, the
real concern has been with more tangible benefits from
these programs such as savings in parking costs and
possibilities ot expansion at freed up spaces, Often, the
perceived cost of the program has been much greater than
actual experience and the value of benefits have een
un er eShmat . general, the employers also are
reluctant to get tied down to another new "employee
benefit". Employers typically do not like to give away, or
even talk about, new benefits outside of the "union
negotiations!
The employers also do not Ilke to take awav a benefit
that lias been gIven 10 employees (nor do the employees
like to give up). Thus, some employers have excluded

existing (or long tenured) employees from subsidy
reductions that typically accompany allowance
programs.
Response of employees to transportation allowance
programs has been mixed depending on the eligibility
requirements and the nature of the program, Transit users
and potential transit users have supported transit
allowances. Car and vanpoolers have supported
ridesharing and parking allowances. In fact, in many,
instances, these commuters were instrumental in pushing
the employers to adopt these programs, Generally, the
existing situation where solo drivers were receiving the
subsidies was viewed as unfair.
,
,
General travel allowances are perceived as a mixed
bag by employees. Where the allowance has dollar to
dollar replaced reduction or elimination of parking
subsidy, the response has been generally positive,
although some solo drivers have shown resentment when
car.poolers have received the allowance as well as
reduced rate or free parking. In cases where general travel
allowance has only partially replaced the reductions in
parking subsIdies, the solo driver resistance has been
much slTOnger. This has been the more typical situation
with travel allowance programs, because these programs
have, at best, set the allowances equal to the solo parking
rates, hlIl they have failed to cover the value of subsidized
parking lost by the solo drivers who enjoyed a tax free
I income earlier. All in all, the implemenlation process has
required delicate negouauons and caretul band holding of
employees by the employers.

Tax Consequences
A principal concern with travel
fA allowances perlains to their tax
'II con~quences. From the stM,dpoint of
. em 0 ers, the tax cons uences are
, ~complic:al . Costs 0 travel
al owance programs including the
amounts of allowances and administrative expenses are
fully deductible as business expenses for the employers.
The tax conseQuences for emplovees are mu<:h more
comElex and significant. Parking allpwances/subsidles
are treated as non.i3xable Income to the employees by the
Internal Revenue Service, regardless of the amount, so
long as they are specifically provided by the employer to
cover parking at or near the employment site and
, identified as such, The specificity is established by the
way in which the employer provides the subsidy. So long
as the employer provides or arranges for free (or reduced
price) spaces, or purchases spaces directly from an
operator and gives out "cards" or "passes" to the
employees, the value of these parking privileges
(subsidies) is treated as tax free from the employees'
incomes.
In contrast, transit or ridesharing allowances /
subsidies are treated quite differently by the IRS,
Employer provided transit or ridesharing subsidies are
tax free to employees only if the amount is $21 or less per
month per employee. Further, If the subsidy is greater
than $21 per month, the entire amount (not the portion
above $21) Is considered by the IRS as taxabie income to
the employee. In consequence, a parking allowance /
subsldv of more than $21 per month is much more
attractive from an em 10 ee's ers ective com ar to an
ual transit or rides rin a owance. New energy
le~ls auon In e ongress proposes to increase the tax
free amount to $60 per month with removal of the "cliff'},
There are examples of employers replacing existing
parking subsidies with transit or ridesharing allowances
and paying a premium to the employees to account for
the increased tax burden (see, for example, Bank of
America and San Diego Trust & Savings Bank examples
cited earlier). There also are some incidences of employers
paying the travel allowance to employees against
fictitious but formal request for miscellaneous expense
reimbursement by employees - thus making the
allowance tax free. This practice appears to be In violation
of IRS regulations.

Many employers feel that the taxability and
unattractiveness of general travel allowances is an issue
only for existing employees who already enjoy tax free
parking allowances, For new employees this might not be
a major issue and it might be more feasible 10 bring such a
program on gradually as new employees are hired.
Cost Implications
Significant variability has been observed in the costs
of trans ortanon allowance ro all\5 depending on the
nature an complexity of the components and the amount
of allowance offered.
While general travel allowance programs have
required considerable planning and promotional efforts
during the pre-Implementation phase, the ongoing
administrative costs have been relatively small. For
instance, at Latham &. Watkins in Los Angeles, Unowes &.
Blocher in Maryland and at CH2M Hill in Bellevue, W,A.
the on going administrative costs of the general travel
allowance prograll\5 are virtually zero. Once well
established, these are simple programs conceptually and
'require virtually no ellgiblllty checks or monitoring,
because, there are no restrictions on use of the money
received'. The accounting costs are also negligible once the
program is set since the allowance is given out to all
employees as a bonus. The only significant cost to the
employer is the cost of the allowance itself, although in
most cases this has been partially offset by the new
parking revenues from solo drivers or from the reduction
in parking subsidies to solo drivers. AdditionallYI the
reductions in parking needs have sometimes generated
, savings in maintenance costs and possibly in some future
capital requirements,

More targeted and mode specific allowance prograll\5
such as transit and vanpool allowances require some on
going adminlstrative effort to monltor eligibility
requirements and accounting as the employee base
changes. For example, staff at Commuter Computer in
Los Angeles, who have considerable experience with
assisting local employers set up allowance programs,
suggest that once the program is well establlshed, the on
going administrative costs might Nn In the range of $
5,000 to $10,000 per year. The allowance itself would be
extra,
More complex prograll\5 such as those allowing
flexible use of allowance for services provided by many
different operators (e.g" Transitcheck in New York)
would cost more because of greater administrative,
monitoring and accounting needs and printing of multiple
coupons. Other complex prograll\5 include different
subsidies for different modes (e,g" ARCO in Los Angeles)
requiring more effort for monitoring and periodic
eligibility checks. Again Commuter Computer, which has
considerable experlence in this area, suggests on going
annual program costs in the range of $ 10,000 to $ 20,000
for staff support. In addition, there would be the cost of
the allowance itself, The cost of a mode specific allowance
probably would be lower than for a general travel
allowance if only a fraction of employees are eligible to
receive them.
IV. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Experlence with transportation allowances suggest
they can be effective stralegies for reducing cOl!lmuter
traffic. However, each articular travel allowance
te 'que warrants care p anning, assessment and
evaluanon In tuture appltcanons.
Complex travel allowance programs with different
subsidies for different modes and very specific eligibility
requirements wiU be more expensive to design,
implement and monitor. Both participating employers
and the regional ridesharing agencies would incur greater
on going effort. For Instance, a ridesharing allowance
which targets specific amounts of subsidies directly at
different modes (bus, carpool and vanpool) would be
more difficult and expensive to admiilister than a simple
transit fare allowance or a vanpool subsidy. In particular,
a program that allows the use of subsidy for many local
services in a flexible manner (e,g" a regional voucher
valid for bus, rail, light rail or vanpools - much like the
Transitcheck In New York), would probably be much
more expensive to monitor and administer than a transit
pass program, a program like Commuterbucks, or a
general travel allowance such as at Latham and Watkins,

althou It would robablv re uire more

require targeting and eligibility checks or significant

a work site are given a flat monthly or yearly allowance

General travel allowance probably would be linked to
im lementation of arking charges (at least for solo
drivers to e ance e tnp r ucuons as we as to
generate revenues to partially all-set the allowance
expenses. Because 01 these features, SUCh pro!ll:ams are
likelv to encounter opposition from some of the
employees, at least at start. The employer also might be
apprehensive If the parking rates and supply In the
vicinity will threaten the possibility of raising parking
revenues from solo drivers to partly off.set the allowance
costs. Careful assessment of the site would be needed to
insure the financial integrity of the proposed program. In
other words, such a program would make financial sense
for the employer only if the parking market allows rates
comparable in magriitude to the allowance to be charged
to alleast some of the employees, All in all, such a general
travel allowance program might be feasible at
employment sites where: parking is at a premium
(availability and/or rates); the existing parking subsidies
are high; and where there Is considerable pressures to
reduce solo driving significantly. Clearly, in order to
ensure acceptance and success, the employer also would
have to encourage transit and ridesharing via more
traditional measures.
Where the goals of shifting employees to ridesharing
are more modest and where parking 15 not in short supply
or expensive, other transportation allowances (e,g" transit
and/or rldesharing allowances) might make more sense,
although they would probably require greater on going
administrative effort than a general travel allowance
program.
Specific effectiveness and Implementation issues
deserve attention in the future:
-
Effectiveness
. What types of employees, their trip patterns and
available services present the best prospects for
ado~tion of the particular strategies?
. What participation rates can be expected in various
industries, labor markets and locations?
. What will be the Impacts on mode shares at
different locations for the particular strategies?
. What are the full costs of these programs?
· What are the employee attitudes?
To date, there are few case studies documenting the
impacts on mode shares, on employer costs,
administrative implications and employee morale and
productivity, However, these programs have been well
received in Los Angeles, New York, Denver and other
locations.
Implementation
The transportation allowance and HOV subsidy
programs raise several implementation issues best
addressed by feasibility assessments and detailed
planning. For example:
. What additional burdens would the employers have
to bear If such programs are promoted vigorously
and are successful in generating high participation
rates?
. What would be the impact on participation rates if
the federal tax code is revised to make an HOV
subsidy of $60 per month tax free to the employees?
. How selective can the employers be In determining
eligibility criteria within the constraint of existing
labor agreements? Negotiations with unions might
become necessary.
. Employers may find the administrative and
accounting burdens relating to HOV subsidies
unacceptable, On the other hand, general travel

allowances may not require large continuing
administrative effort,
· Administration and monitoring would require long
!enn cooperation among different employers,
service multiple providers and the private sector,
To address these issues, assessment and planning
may be needed to develop necessary changes in labor
agreements, employee contracts and company or agency

~ ,Re: Proposed Commercial Pesticide Application Ordinance, Second Reading;
1 Proposed Private Pesticide Application Ordinance, Public Discussion and First
,
I Reading I ,
,
I
, I
~ In light of several questions presented to me, I answer the following questions, for your
I Information:
Commercial Applicator Ordinance
1. Are farms excluded?
ANSWER: Yes. The commercial applicator ordinance, as originaliy presented to you in
your December 3, 1993, Information packet and set for public discussion January 4, 1 994,
has always excliJded ferms from the ordinance. However, In an attempt to clarify this :'
question I I placed the exemption in the definition of 'properly' Instead of the definition of
'customer.' This is not a substantive change.
2. Are pest control companies Included In the "commercial applicator ordinance?"
ANSWER: Yes, as presently drafted. Our ordinance uses the state definition of
'pesticide' which includes substances used, for example, against termites and rodents.
However, since state rules (meaning the Iowa Administrative Code) do not require pest
control companies to post signs If their spraying Is within a structure or Is limited ,
to within six feet of a structure, I have incorporated this language into the 'commercial I ,
, epplicator ordinance,' see section on sign notification.
To avoid further confusion, I have clarified that the state rules on spacing and location of
signs ere incorporated into the City's commercial applicator ordinance, see last section.
3. Other than the size and color of the sign, are the requirements for commercial
applicators more stringent than state requirements?
ANSWER: Yes, but only to the extent that the commercial applicators must register once
a year wlih the City Clerk, and pay an administrative fee of $5 per year.

Private Applicator Ordinance. Proposed
Is the present version of the "private applicator ordinance" the same as that
discussed by City Council last fall, 1992?
ANSWER: No. The January 1 994 version has been considerably streamlined to conform
to the 'commercial applicator ordinance,' and Imposes the same sign notification
requirements for private applicators, namely:
a. Posting notification signs before private application of pesticides;
b. Leaving the sign up for 24 hours; with
c. Signs the size of ordinary letterhead paper, with the same colors (bright yellow
background with black letters), and containing a logo wamlng people to keep off.
The Council might consider whether the City should provide signs to the prlvate applicator,
to assure uniformity.
2. Is "spot application" such as spraying a few dandelions covered by this "private
applicator ordinance?"
1.
ANSWER: No. The Intent of the ordinance, as I understand the City Council's wlshes,
Is to require a sign to alert the public to what Is commonly referred to as 'broadcast
, application' of pesticldas. As I have stated to you earlier, In several memoranda, the City
staff and the University of Iowa Law School Clinic struggled with trying to define 'private
application of pesticides' as a certain number of square feet or cubic feet, a certain
volume of substance applied, or a certain amount (ounces or gallons) of a pesticide used.
However, after much discussion I the Law School Clinic and City staff discarded these
definitions as not flexible enough to reach the health and safety Issue of the City Council:
trying to alert people I and their animals, to areas where pesticides have recently been
placed on a yard, so that those people and animals may avoid the area.
Clarifications for Both Ordinances
I have also added state law to the definition of 'pesticide,' because somewhat more
understandable to lay persons. Thus, I could use the same deflnlllon of 'pesticide' In both the
'commercial' and 'private' versions, This Is not a substantive change to the 'commercial
applicator' version because already Included under the rubric 'substances required to be
registered under Chapter 206, Code of Iowa.'
One final reminder: As you may recall, the City has no authority to Impose these rules on the
University of Iowa, based on sovereign Immunity.

SECTION /. The Code of Ordinances of the City of Iowa City, Iowa is hereby amended by
adopting the following:
Section 34.77 Scooe and Puroose
Iowa state law permits a city to exercise any powers or perform any functions under
home rule which the city deems necessary, in order to protect the health, safety and
welfare of its citizens; and said home rule extends to the exercise of powers also
undertaken by the State where, as here, not pre-emp1ed by State law. The City Council
for the City of Iowa City therefore adopts this ordinance concerning private application of
pesticides to outdoor vegetation, in order to 'protect the health, safety and welfare of the
citizens of Iowa City, Iowa.
Section 34-78 Definitions
a. "Bi.'mApplication" means all broadcast application of pesticides to outdoor property.
"Broadcast application" is not intended to include spot applications.
,
b. "Farm" shall have the same meaning as that set forth in the Iowa City Zoning
Ordinance, Chapter 36, Iowa City Code of Ordinances, namely" an area of not less
than 1 0 acres for which the principal use is the growing for sale of farm products such
as vegetables I frults, end grain and their storage on the land. The term 'farm' includes
the necessary accessory uses and buildings for treating and ~torlng the food
produced. "
c. "Pesticide" shall mean any subs1ance or mixture of substances that must be registered
with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship under Chapter 206,
Code of Iowa (1993), but shall not Include substances to the extent that they are

MEMORANDUM
Date: January 11, 1994
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Marian Karr, City Clerk
Re: Request for Council Minutes and TranSCripts via Computer Network, Computer Dlskette,
and Cablecast
There has been a request for access to Council minutes and transcripts on the computer
networks, personal computer diskettes, and cablecast on the government Access Channel.

For your Information Council meeting transcripts and minutes are handled through the City Clerk's
Olllce. Minutes must adhere to State legal requirements. Transcrlptions are documents written
In the same words as recorded while minutes are 'action only' summaries of the Council
meetings. Both the transcriptions and minutes are retained In the City Clerk's Olllce In hard copy,
microfilm, newspaper (LegaVOlllclal Actions, and audio cassette (Formal and Work Sessions).
Video cassettes (Formal) are broadcast live and rebroadcast on Iowa City's Cablecast
Government Channel every day excluding Saturday until the next formal meeting (11 times). A
copy of the video Is at the Iowa City Public Library for six weeks. Video cassettes can be copied
and sold at a cost of $10 per 3 hour meeting during the six week retention time. Audio cassettes
can be copied and sold. Cost Is 85!t and copy time Is 3 minutes per gO minute tape. Cassettes
are retained seven years.
Reauest
In addition to what Is currently ollered we have received a request for access to Iowa City Council
transcripts and minutes which fall Into three categories: electronic access via Intemet (computer
networl<s); personal computer diskettes; and cablecast on Information Services on the
Government Access Channel.
Computer Network
University of Iowa Is a member of a computer network called Internet, Project Panda I Inc. Is an
Interface to the Internet which serves as an Information and messaging source for local computer
,users. Panda Is currentty funded through University of Iowa student fees and grants. (Currenlly
Johnson County Board of Supervisors minutes are available via Panda.) To provide Iowa City
Council transcriptions and/or minutes on Panda would require my olllce to obtain permission from
the Panda User's group to use Panda; establish an account through Panda and/or University of
Iowa Weeg Computer Center; additIonal stall lime and computer equipment. The additional stall
time would Involve uploading transcriptions and/or minutes Into the Panda network and
maintenance of that Informallon on that network. Changes would be needed to be made In the

city's computer system to utilize Panda. The Data Processing Division has not researched all the
requirements to connect to the Internet. However, we currently have an automatic dlal.ln
capability but not a dlal.out capability which would be needed to Interlace. Permanent changes
to allow the City to access Panda would cost $3,000.$4,000 minimally. Office computer costs
would be an additional $3,000. Currently a subscription to Panda Is at no charge but we anticipate
fee for use In the future.
Com outer Diskettes
The Iowa City Council transcriptions and minutes are currentiy done on pes. The transcriptions
and minutes could be distributed or sold to the public on computer diskettes. The process would
Involve uploading the information into our office computer liles, then downloading (or copying) the
information onto Individual diskettes for public use. The actual cost to the public for a DOS 3~
inch diskette would be $1.85 per diskette. Again, there would be some additional staff time and
computer equipment ($3,000 as noted above) that would be needed.
Government Channel Cablecast . Interactive Information Services (IS)
Once the City Clerk has completed work on the Council minutes, and notifies Document Services
of their availability, IS can take either Complete Description or Official Actions (the 3 or 5 to 7
page versions) and translate those to a video format usable on IS. This would allow cable TV
viewers to call up and view these minutes on Government Access Channel 4 during the 120+
hours per week IS Is operallng. No addillonal equipment or staff time Is necessary to accomplish
this. However, given that current staffing of IS has a full load, It would Involve a reprlorillzallon
of the 85 categories on IS, and perhaps dropping enough categories to free up IS staff lime to
provide the Informational minutes.
Access to public records is mandated by State Code. As this request Is not mandated by the
state or needed to fulfill legal requirements and these are additional costs, I am requesting that '
Council assist in establishing this policy. As I mentioned above, the Data Processing Division has
some reservallon but wishes to provide further cost esllmate which are accurate and reliable over
the long.term If this Is to be a formal and ongoing part of my office.

City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
Date: January 12, 1 994
To: City Council and City Manager
From: \\\ Marianne Milkman, Community Development Coordinator
Re: FY95 CDBG and HOME Allocations
We have just received notification from HUD of our CDBG allocation for FY95. This year we will
have $969,000, an increase of approximately g% over last year, as a result of an Increased
appropriation by Congress. We also expect about $100,000 In P(ogram Income to add to this
amount.
The other piece of good news Is that we have become a Participating Jurisdiction (PJ) under the
HOME program. This Is like our CD~G entitlement status, and means we will receive $500,000
directly from Washington rather than having to go through a State application procedure for each
project. For HOME funds, 10% may be used for admlnlstratlon, and 15% must be set aside for
a Non-Prolit Housing Agency (known as a CHDO). In Iowa City the only agency qualifying under
this deslg~atlon Is the Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship.
With the assistance of the Housing Commission, we will be preparing a statement on the
proposed use of the HOME funds. We plan to hold Public Hearings on the proposed FY95 CDBG
and HOME budgets at the same time In early April. One of the results of HUD's new
consolidated planning efforts Is that cities can now coordinate the planning for varlous federal
funds and present them to the public all at one time -that's progressl
If you have any questions, please give me a call at 356.5244,

In September a program to provide hall price bus tickets to both the Emergency Housing Project
(EHP) and the Salvation Army for transportation of people to and from the EHP shelter and the
Salvation Army soup kitchen was begun on a trial basis. The City provided each agency with 250
hall price bus tickets per month for October and November, with the understanding that the
program would be evaluated after November to determine if the program would be continued and
II so, how many tickets the City would provide. ,
A review of the data submitted by the agencies regarding the trial program Indicate that each
agency could use approximately 150 tickets per month to meet the needs shelter residents. This
Is an average of 6 round trips per day between the shelter and the soup kitchen.
I recommend that the City continue the program providing hall price tickets to EHP and the
Salvation Army to provide transportation for shelter residents to the soup kitchen. Each agency
should receive 150 hall price tickets per month and the program should be reviewed again In
December of this year to determine if the number of tickets distributed should adjusted.
Let me know II you would like to continue with this program and/or if you have any questions.

From: Joe Fowler, Director Parking & Transit,..J~
Reference: Taxi Contract - SEATS
p -..' ,---'-' - .-
--'_....-
If use of taxi service to supplement SEATS rides continues at the
current rate it is anticipated that there will be a surplus of
$3000.00 at the end of FY94. I have meet with Larry Olson, Johnson
county SEATS, about using 'these surplus funds to supplement routine
SEATS service. At the present time he estimates they are denying
3 to 4 rides per day due to lack of capacity. By diverting rides
to the taxi service he feels the increased demand during the winter
months could be meet.
I
These rides would be used for short trips in Iowa city. Examples
would be Capitol House Apartments to the Senior Center or east side
residence to Towncrest Medical area. This should keep the cost at
about $4.00 per ride.
Council has indicated that this is an option tho/wish to explore to
provide service to the elderly. This would give us an opportunity
to experiment with these rides on a limited basis.
I will wait for further direction from you before taking any
action.

Denr Iowa City PlannelSlRohrel Road Projcc~
I want 10 Ihank lhe cily employees lbat presented lhe Rohrel Road re.building project 10 lhe neighborhoods
in lhe Rohret area, 1 attended lhe meeting and lhougbt thc projcct was weIl presented and I nppreclated how
city employees answered quesUons and listened to concerns from lhe audience. In general, It wns very
infolllUlUve.
Besides my lhanks, I wanted to lellhe cUy planacrs know WOOL I pelSonally fcel about various projecl
Issues.
1. Please make lhe road as wide as possible, I liked lhe wider of the two cross secUonal diagrams shown al
lhe meeting. This would nllow for a much needed bike paih going each dlrecUon. la fnc~ If possible, I
think It would be wise to mark off where the motor lane ends and lhe bike palh begins. Simply a solid
white line on each side of the road scctioaing off the bike paih would make lhings very clear to all moving
vehicles.
In my oplalon, lhe bike path Is a neeesslty beeause of the already large numbers of riders currently on
Rohret Rd. And with more and more development in and around lhis area, this numberts sure to grow.
By widening lhe road a clearer vision palh with also be crealed because of thc amount of brush currently
wilhin inches of the roadside.
2. I think having a wider sidewalk on the north side thiUI on the soulh side would be most appropriate.
Wllh most of the children walking and hiking on the north side, lhe wider sidewalk there seems besl.
3. I would love to sce trees plantcd on the roadside after compleUon. Aesthetlcillly,thls will add a lot to
the massive amounts of concrele being added 10 ibis area, Envlroamentally, it is the least the city can
coaUnue 10 do in its' rebuilding projccts.
4. The entrance into Walden Woods divlsioa off of Rohretls very llangerous. Please colISlder regrading the
ea!fllDCC thotls otthe top of a hill and f1lling in at the bottom on lhe hill leading up to the enlrn11cc.
5. When planalng the phases of construcUon, please make sure residents have a safe passage OUI of the
varlous neighborhoods and around the construcUon nrea.1 understand ibis will be a dlfficulL I have no
specific suggesUons.
6. Please highly consider a vehicle right turn lane into lhe new school. Without I~ traffle will surely be
bncked up and huses will need extru lurning radius when entering the school.
7. Please consider burying the eleclricalllnes. This will keep vision more clenr all of the way down the
rood and much less hazardous for bikers IUId motor tmCflc alike.
Sincerely,
~~C).,J-Lo

CALL TO ORDER:
Rockwell made Introductions and welcomed everyone to the first meeting of the Tree
Preservation Committee. She noted that the Committee's work will be a joint effort of
representatives of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Riverfront and Natural Areas
Commission. Their charge will be to look at various tree preservation ordinances to find ways
that are not burdensome, but do preserve valued tree resources of the community. Rockwell
clarified that committee had received a draft of a tree preservation ordinance, which focuses
on preserving heavily wooded areas, particularly those located on steep slopes, within ravines
and in floodplain areas. She stressed that preserving wooded areas was' only one approach
the committee may want to consider for preserving trees in Iowa City. Rockwell welcomed
comments for amendments to the draft ordinance, especially any that would streamline the
ordinance; to make it more efficient without losing the desired effect of the ordinance.
SELECTION OF CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR:
The committee selected Barb Hinkel as Chair and Sally Dierks as Vice Chair.
PRESENTATION OF BRIEF BACKGROUND REPORT:
Rockwell noted that the memo to the committee had touched on previous tree preservation
ordinance efforts by the Woodlands Committee, a subcommittee of the Riverfront and Natural
Areas, Commission. Because tree preservation ordinances generally Involve zoning and
subdivision regulatlons, It was felt that the Planning and Zoning Commission needed to be
represented as well. The Woodlands Committee previously looked at preserving trees along
slreet frontages as well as at strengthening existing city ordinances, such as the site plan
review ordinance and the grading and erosion control ordinance. Dierks asked Rockwell to
send her copies of current ordinances that deal with tree preservation. In response to a
comment by Hinkel, Rockwell affirmed that the Woodlands Committee had reviewed
strengthening the language of existing ordinances, but had felt that It was really Important to
start with an overall tree preservation ordinance. Gibson asked if the City Council had
directed that a tree preservation ordinance be drafted. Rockwell said yes.

DISCUSSION OF COMMITTEE MISSION:
l!
1~
Hinkel thought the committee mission had already been stated; the intant to draft ordinance
provisions to preserve trees In Iowa City. Rockwell said there are a number of different
stratagles that can be used to praserve trees. As the committee works through these
alternatives, it can begin to define the scope of its mission. For example, the committee may
want to look at preserving heritage trees, that Is, trees of significant size or of historical
Importance. Rockwell Indicated the committee may decide to recommend that heritage tree
preservation occur through a voluntary program rather than regulatory legislation. Rockwell
asked the committee to think about a time commitment, the range of ordinances to be
reviewed, and generally, what its mission should be.

Gibson asked if the committee's mission was to evaluate the ordlmince before it. Rockwell
responded that was the first item of business, but the committee may want to go beyond
woodlands preservation. The committee decided to continue the discussion of its mission at
future meetings.

EVALUATION OF TREE PRESERVATION OVERLAY (OTPI ZONE ORDINANCE DRAFT:
Gibson questioned the references in the draft ordinance to an environmental inventory.
Rockwell said the environmental Inventory was being conducted: the city expected to receive
the inventory and mapping of environmentally sensitive areas in early January 1994. Gibson
asked If the Inventory would include the types of trees that are identified in the draft
ordinance as "mature" and "significant" trees. Rockwell said yes, these wooded areas would
be mapped as part of the environmental inventory.

Gibson understood the draft ordinance provided protection for every mature and significant
tree in the overlay zone; it would be operative all the time. You could not simply go In and
cut protected trees down In the overlay zone without a permit. Rockwell said the ordinance
does permit certain exemptions, but otherwise the protection of mature and significant trees
In the overlay zone would prevail. Gibson also esked about penalties. Dierks statad other
communities, particularly in the eastern part of the United States, had penalties of thousands
of dollars. Bormann stated that the Iowa City code sets a $1,000 limit for municipal
Infrac,!lons. Gibson contended that a mature or significant tree would have a much higher
value than $1,000. He questioned whether a $1,000 fine per tree destroyed or removed was
enough. Dierks agreed.
Rockwell pointed out the draft ordinance provision on page 3, item c.5, allowing harvasting
of up to six trees per year, except when the trees are significant trees or are covered by an
existing tree plan, or unless such removal places the parcel below the minimum percentage
of mature traes required to be retained. In response to a question from Dierks, Rockwell
stated that a property owner would naed to comply with an approved tree plan for a proparty.
Rockwell further explained that the draft ordinance would permit some harvesting of trees,
but it would not allow anyone to go In and clearcut In the OTP zone.
Gibson asked whether the ordinance partalned only to development projects. Rockwell stated
that the draft ordinance wording needed to be changed to make it clear that It pertains to

development projects, Including grading, clearing and removal activities. Gibson questioned
how the mathematics of the removal guidelines worked, that is, when are the trees first
inventoried, and when can the removal of up to six trees per year begin. Are the calculations
based on a lower percentage each year? 'Denney responded that there would need to be a
base year or a certain point In 11me when the minimum percentages were calculated.
Rockwell advised that the base point would probably be the date the ordinance was approved.
Gibson concluded that there would need to be an inventory of trees at the base point, and
then over a period of time trees can be removed as long as the minimum percentage of trees
to be retained is maintained. Rockwell agreed that the base time point should be clearly
defined in the ordinance.
Gibson indicated that exemption six on page 3 seemed to be an extraordinary exception.
Rockwell indicated that the exemption for ~'the stockpiling and handling of earth material
associated with commercial quarry operations" came from an Olympia I Washington, tree
preservation ordinance. Gibson thought this exemption could be dealing with places that
have a lot trees. If these places are used as a spall site or for stockpiling I it could effect a lot
of trees. He stated that one should be very careful in translating an ordinance for Iowa from
Olympia, Washington. Gibson reflected if you looked at existing zoning, this exemption may
not even apply within the current city limits. He wasn't sure it should be deleted I but he was
still concerned that It seemed to be a very large exception. Siders pointed out that it was the
only commercial use that was excepted in the draft ordinance.
Gibson asked whether the definition for "critical root zone" on page 1 was a standard
landscaping or horticultural term. He thought the drip line was the critical area for protecting
trees. Rockwell responded the more recent tree preservation ordinances she had reviewed
used the critical root zone terminology, because the drip line did not always provide a sufficient
protection area. Seiberling concurred with Rockwell, and said the critical root zone is cited
in national arborlculture reference books.
Kubby stated in previous ordinance drafts and in ordinances for other towns I a tree 8 inches
in diameter Is considered a significant or critical tree. Kubby said the 24 inch specification for
a signllicanttree came from ordinances intended to save significant, mature trees due to their
meriting extra protection. Kubby contended that not only the old growth trees needed to be
saveq, To maintain wooded areas, selective cutting is needed. Kubby requested that pictures
be added to the draft to clarify definitions and requirements. Rockwell stated that the
diameter sizes for protected trees were selected by looking at ordinances from around the
country for a practical common denominator, evaluating what was politically possible and
factoring in the climate and growth zone in the Iowa City area. In some ordinances in
northern zones, for example I all trees six Inches In diameter or larger were protected.
Rockwell said the draft ordinance focused on saving mature and significant trees within a
woodland, but through replacement requirements should encourage all ages of trees within
a designated wooded area. Denney explained that replacement trees will be young trees with
more trees required to replace a significant tree than are required to replace a mature tree.
He said the replacement requirements should encourage regeneration of wooded areas.
Dierks asked about measuring the diameter of a tree at 4 1/2 feet above ground for a 24 Inch
diameter tree. Seiberling and Denney both responded that it was an accepted forestry

standard. Seiberling added that for most trees, there wouldn't be much differential in
diameter from t~e base upwards to the height of 4 1/2 feet. Denney noted that the term dbh
or diameter at breast height wes standardized to 4 1/2 feet in height. Siders stated that the
definition of "buildable area" was ipconsistent with the existing zoning 'code definition. He
asked that consistent definitions be used to avoid confusion in the lield. Siders thought that
the term "compensating measures" should be more clearly defined.
Gibson asked about the tree replacement formula. Rather than having two trees to replace
a mature tree and three trees to replace a significant tree, he thought it would be better to
have an equivalency replacement of a diameter inch planted for every diameter inch removed
or destroyed. Rockwell said this had been discussed, but was considered unworkable.
Denney noted Larry Wilson had Indicated there were some problems with a diameter inch for
diameter inch replacement level on the University campus. Kubby pointed out that
replacement trees could be planted elsewhere on the site or on public property within the city.
Rockwell explained that such planting location alternatives were provided for within the draft
ordinance. Gibson stated that he wanted to take a separate look at the replacement formula.
He thought there were a variety of ways to approach the replacement requirements. He
added this was a place where there were some obvious teeth missing in tha ordinance.
Rockwell said she would provide alternative replacement formulas for the 'committee to
evaluate at its next meeting.
Rockwell pointed out the reference to Section 36-72(e) of the Zoning Ordinance, which details
tree planting requirements, including minimum sizes of trees to be planted. Siders stated that
clearer requirements were' needed to specify what trees can be used to replace other trees.
Siders said that nuisance trees, such as cottonwoods and boxelders, needed to be specified
as well. Dierks agreed that the requirements would need to be clarified. Denney stated that
nuisance trees, such as cottonwoods, were eddressed in other sections of the city code.
Gibson said there Is a gorgeous 48 Inch diameter cottonwood in his neighbor's yard. It would
be a crime to cut It down. He said he may get white stuff In his yard once a year, but it's no
big deal; It doesn't occur at a time when air conditioning is being used.

In considering other changes to the dreft ordinance, Rockwell suggested that the language In
the last paragraph on page three be changed so the tree protection and replacement plan
requlr.ements are not limited to development proposals. Gibson said at some point, he would
like to discuss the second exemption on page three that refers to exempting grading, clearing
or removal activities on a parcel or contiguous parcels In one ownership less than 20,000
square feet In size for the purpose of construction I landscaping and/or associated
Improvements for ana single-family or duplex residence. He felt the exemption should be
tightened up. Dierks said she also had trouble with the second exemption, because of the
way one.lot splits are used by certain developers in town to get around complying with city
regulations. She agreed with Gibson that the exemption needed to be tightened up.
Rockwell asked the committee members If they felt an exemption for nuisance trees should
be added to the ordinance. Hinkel asked how a nuisance tree would be defined. Dierks said
If the committee could see a list of nuisance trees, It might have a better Idea of whether
nuisance trees should be Included as an exemption. Rockwell said she could work with the
City Forester to come up with a list of nuisance trees. Seiberling said she felt some resistance

to having such a list. For example, some people feel a mulberry tree is a nuisance tree, but
mulberry trees provide food for birds, they enhance wildlife habitat and shouldn't necessarily
be eliminated. Gibson said he was Inclined to feel the same way as Seiberling. He would not
think of removing a beautiful female gingko tree from his yard. Except for one week a year,
it is a matvelous tree.

In response to comments from Siders and Schniltjer, Denney noted the draft ordinance Is
intended to be an overlay zone of natural wooded environments. He pointed out that the
ordinance allows a certain percentage of trees to be taken out; it doesn't say you can't take
down certain nuisance trees. Rockwell stated the ordinance encourages the landowner to be
selective in determining the types of trees to be retained or removed. Gibson commented,that
the so-called nuisance trees cari be used as part of the base for calculations; an advantage
to the developers. Denney said to keep in mind that the ordinance doesn't apply generally to
the entire city; it Is an overlay zone that applies to wooded areas. There was a general
consensus not to include exemptions for specific nuisance trees in the ordinance.

Kubby asked what can be done to notify the owner of a wooded lot as to which trees can be
cut down prior to building. Denney responded that a Tree Plan Is required to be submitted for
development in the Tree Preservation Overlay Zone. The ordinance provides that there should
be covenants called out in the property title for tree preservation areas. Rockwell asked if
there was a good way to ensure that the individual property owner Is put on notice about tree
preservation requirements. She said for example, the landscaping plan for a planned housing
development Is recorded with the land. Bormenn answered that a good attorney should
inform the owners of specific restrictions on the property at the time of purchase. She said
that type of notice can't be assured. She noted that it Is a difficult problem; most of the
general population don't know how to read a title opinion. Siders suggested uslnll easements.
Bormann responded that even with recorded easements there were problems with people
building where they shouldn't. Seiberlinll concluded a great deal of public education was
needed to inform landowners of tree preservation provisions.

Siders Inquired about the spaciflcity required for mapping and Inventorying trees in an area.
Dierks wondered If the ordinance would be so restrictive as to require individual lot owners
to get a permit to cut down a tree In their own yard. Bormann explained that most Tree
Preser.vation Plans would be associated with larger tracts of land. Dierks confirmed the trees
would need to be Identlfiad during the development process itself. In response to Siders and
Schnitljer, Rockwell stated that individual trees would not nead to be mapped in heavily
wooded areas. The general location could be scrlbad on the map with the number of mature
and significant trees and their spacies noted within the designated area.
As a practical matter, Gibson asked how a trae preservation plan would'effect an Individual
lot owner; would x number of trees on a lot need to be preserved. Rockwell responded that
the tree plan should address that situation; the tree preservation areas should be clearly
marked. Some subdividers may choose to cluster the tree preservation areas In a common
open space, but if the wooded areas to be preservad are part of a lot, the Individual lot ownar
would nead to comply with the preservation requirements. She assumed that alter the
streets, sewers, etc. had been constructed I most homeowners would want to preserve as
many mature and signillcanttrees on their own lots as possible. Gibson asked If she assumed

there wasn't going to be a problem. Rockwell responded that she assumed It was not going
to be as much of a problem as preserving trees during construction of the infrastructure.
Siders said it was going to be very difficult and expensive to identify trees to be saved lot by
lot, especlally if the plats are amended two or three times. Rockwell pointed out that the
ordinance gives the landowner flexibility concerning the trees to be removed. Gibson said it
wasn't a matter of restriction; it was a matter of practicality, counting the trees and keeping
track of the obligations on a lot by lot basis. Rockwell said the obligations could be
established through the tree plan approval process.
Denney stated it was likely that a landowner would initially look at the trees on the whole site.
Changes or amendments to the tree plan could then by made on a lot by lot basis during the
subdivision process. Kubby thought it would be possible on a large tract of land to reserve
a wooded area as open space. Rockwell concurred, and said the development could be
clustered. Schnittjer asked if such areas would be public or private Rockwell responded it
could be either; it would need to be decided on a case by case basis. Siders said he was sure
a homeowners association could manage some of those areas.

Schnittjer was concerned about the number of trees that would need to be removed just to
locate houses within a development. Dierks stated that most developers realized that
retaining mature trees increased the property values. Gibson said that there would be some
land for which the options were limited; it might require taking a large tree down. Kubby
stated in that case, the landowner could compensate by planting replacement trees. Gibson
said he understood that. He was trying 10 get et whether the ordinance was nec,essary in the
first place. Schnittjer asked what was to prevent someone from cutting down a lot of trees
prior to the passage of the ordinance. Gibson said it was going to take a strong base of public
acceptance for the ordinance to work. He stated a person can go kill a tree and nobody Is
going to know about it. Dierks countered that public awareness on this issue had been high
enough that when trees were cut on a property on Benton Street, there were a lot of people
who were interested in why the property was being cleared and who was doing the clearing.

Kubby commented about the Importance of looking at the environmental Inventory when it
was completed to assess the amount of land in each zone that would be affected by a tree
preservation overlay zone ordinance. Rockwell agreed, and noted that if not much land was
affected, the committee may want to consider a simpler or more minimalist approach. In
response to the concern Kubby expressed about the applicability of the ordinance, Rockwell
, said the ordinance was designed to be an overlay zone, comparable to an historic preservation
district, which is, In place and in effect no matter what the underlying zone is.

Dierks stated she would hate to see the ordinance make it a hassle for,people who simply
want to remove a diseased tree, where they have to prove it is a diseased tree or that it was
diseased before they took it out. Rockwell agreed. She hoped the ordinance could be
streamlined, but still be effec;tive in preserving woodland areas In Iowa City. Siders asked that
exemption six concerning commercial quarries be reconsidered by the committee. Dierks
suggested deleting that exemption. Siders questioned the wording In Item c.4 on page three
concerning "normal agricultural crop operations." He thought that wording could mean corn
and soybean fields as well as tree farms. Rockwell responded that row crop fields were
unlikely to be wooded; there wouldn't be a tree preservation overlay zone in such areas. In

response to Schnittjer, Denney stated that a single tree in the middle of a corn field would not
trigger the application of this ordinance. Bormann suggested rewording item c.4 on page
three to make the meaning more clear; the exemption should be modified to relate only to tree
farming and be limited to the time the land is being used for tree farming. Gibson expressed
his agreement with Bormann's suggested amendments.

Kubby asked whether item 2.e on page four should be changed in that sometimes painting or
flagging a tree provided insufficient protection. She related an incident when trees along
Ralston Creek that were marked to be saved were chainsawed down by people who thought
the city had marked the trees to be removed. She asked if there was a standard practice that
should'be followed for marking trees so this type of confusion did not occur in the future.
Rockwell agreed that the ordinance should be made consistent with prevailing industry
practices. Seiberling suggested that the peinting and flagging options be removed. She
thought protective barriers should be used in all cases. Gibson agreed that protective barriers
were the only way to keep people from parking or storing materials under a tree. Siders asked
that some consideration be given to the amount of distance between construction activity and
the tree preservation areas. On a large site where construction is occurring hundreds of feet
from the tree preservation area, he felt protective barriers would be an unnecessary expense.
Siders said disposing of trees once th,ey are cut is very expensive; developers won't be
unnecessarily cutting trees. The committee agreed that a distance stipulation should be
Incorporated into the next draft of the ordinance.
Gibson asked that the word "transplanting" be removed from item 1.b on page four, because
transplanting a mature or significant tree would not be very feasible. In response to a
question from Siders, Rockwell said that when there are large trees on an adjacent site, the
developer should take a look at the critical root zone of the trees if they are located in an area
designated for tree preservation. She related an Incident where grading on one property
resulted in mature oaks on an adjacent property beginning graduallY to die. Siders clarified
how the critical root zone should be applied.

In response to e question from Kubby, Rockwell stated that the percentages used in the
ordinance concerning the retention of mature and significant trees came from the Prince
'Georges County, Maryland tree preservation ordinance. Gibson commented that Maryland had
a whole lot more trees than Iowa. Rockwell said the tree preservation overlay zone was
Intended to protect heavily wooded arees. She asked if the committee wanted to revise the
retention percentages to be more suitable for Iowa City. Kubby felt the retention percentages
needed to be higher. Gibson said he tended to agree; as Rockwell had pointed out, the
overlay zone Is intended to preserve heavily wooded areas in Iowa City. He observed that
there are not many of those areas left In Iowa City. He thought as much as possible of those
wooded areas should be preserved. He didn't know what the percentages should be, but It
struck him that they were a little low. He suggested that the committee review the
percentages, but do so with some caution. G)bson noted that once roads are built, utilities
put In and houses constructed, a 50 percent retention requirement 'might be a tough target
to meet. Seiberling thought it was Important to evaluate the energy factor involved In
retaining wooded areas.

The City Council approved the neW fee In order to recover some of the
costs Involved In overseeing the towing of vehicles that are stolen, aban.

Ornclals estimate the fee will raise $5.8 million annually, which Is approx.

Councilman Marvin Braude had urged the Council to address the Issue
aftor an auditor reported that the city was failing to recover Its costs of

IOWA RIVER CORRIDOR STUDY
I. INTRODUCTION
",_.~~."...-"
\
The Iowa River has played a significant role In the establishment and development of Iowa City.
Before European settlement of what came to be called Iowa City, this river valley was home to
the Hopewell, Oneota, Sac, and Mesquakle native cultures. Today the Iowa River winds through
Coralville, Iowa City and Johnson County, creating the opportunity for the development of a
greenway that could provide recreational opportunities, pedestrian and bicycle commuting
alternatives and appropriately planned residential and commercial development.
During the 1970's many communities, Iowa City Included I began to focus on river corridors as
natural resources to be protected and enhanced. This realization led to the preparation of the
Iowa River Corridor Study, commonly known as the Stanley Plan, In 1975. Since its adoption,
the Stanley Plan has served as the planning document for the Iowa River Corridor. However, few
of the plan's recommendations have been Implemented and only one mile of13 miles of the river
corridor trail recommended in the plan has been constructed. Today, Iowa City has fallen behind
other similar communities in providing river trails, Boulder, Colorado has an extensive trail
system, Including 25 miles of creekside trails. Other communities, such as Madlson, Wisconsin
and Bloomington, Indiana, have adopted trail plans and are beginning to implement them.
Currently, community support for development of the Iowa River Corridor Trail Is strong and now
is an appropriate time to reexamine the recommendations of the Stanley Plan, update those
recommendations to reflect current community values, renew a commitment to completing the
trail, and Initiate plans to Implement the corridor proposals.
Recognizing this strong support, the Iowa City Riverfront and Natural Areas Commission decided
to undertake an update of the Iowa River Corridor Study, beginning with the trail recommenda.
tlons. Upon completion of the trail element update, the Commission will study other sections of
the plan. The River Trails Study Group was formed to develop the trail plan update. The Group
consists of the Trails and Access Committee of the Riverfront and Natural Areas Commission,
and representatives from the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Commission, The City of Coralville,
Johnson County Council of Govemments, Johnson County, Friends of the Iowa River Scenic
Trail, and Interested citizens.
II. BACKGROUND
~,
A. The Stanley Plan
Iowa RIver
Commissioned by the Iowa City City Council In 1975, Stanley Consultants prepared the previously
mentioned Stanley Plan. The Plan Is published In three Phases: Phase I, Inventory, Survey and
Analysis; Phase II, River Corridor Plan; Phase III, Southern Corridor Design. Included In the
study's recommendations was a river corridor trail from the Coralville Reservoir Dam to Napoleon
Park in Iowa City. In 1976, this Plan was endorsed by the Riverfront Commission and was
adopted by the Iowa City City Council to be incorporated Into the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Readers of this report are encouraged to review the entire Stanley Plan available from the Iowa
City Department of Planning and Community Development.

B. Implementation of the Stanley Plan
At the time of adoption of the Iowa River Corridor Plan In the mid-1970's, there was community
and governmental support for the development of multi-use trails, such as the Iowa River Corridor
trail, which were designed to meet the needs of communities wllh growing populations.
The Stanley Plan recommended using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to
construct the beginning of the river trail. However, the CDBG funds were used on other projects
within Iowa City, and another funding source for trail construction was notldBntified. Without an
Identified funding source, momentum for building the trail was lost. Since adoption of the Stanley
Plan, only one mile of the river trail recommended In the Plan has been constructed. An
additional two miles of river trail not Included In the recommendations have been constructed on
the west side of the river from Clear Creek In Coralville through City Park, In Iowa City.
More recently, community support for trail development along the Iowa River from groups such
as Friends of the Iowa River Scenic Trail (FIRST) has provided the Impetus for taking another
look at the Stanley Plan. This review would provide the basis for the development and
ImplBmentatlon of an updated river corridor trail plan.
III. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The rationale behind the Iowa River Trail Is to Integrate the recreatlonal, transportation, and
economic needs of the community. Through the creation of a greenway along the Iowa River,
the growing population of Johnson County can be given the opportunity for additional recreational
activities I and a major link In an alternative path of travel for bicycle and pedestrian commuters.
A greenway and trail system can also help promote economic growth. This system can be seen
as an amenity for adjacent residential and commercial development. Trails enhance the quality
of life In a community and may be seen as a positive communitY resource to businesses
considering expansion or relocation.
J
Johnson County has grown from a population of 72,127 In 1970 to 96,119 In 1990. While such
growth has benefits, It can also significantly change and redefine open space and recreation
needs In the urbanized area. These needs have been Identified by the Iowa City Neighborhood
Open Space Plan, which identifies the River Corridor Trail as the backbone of a system of trails
and greenways connecting parks, schools, neighborhoods I and commercial areas. Highlights of
that plan Include the following recommendations:
, Open space districts within Iowa City should be established based on watersheds. A
system of trails should link open space areas within watersheds, and should also
connect watersheds.
1
~J
1
J
,-
,
, Schools and parks should be linked with a trail system so that a safe corridor Is
available for pedestrians, children, and bicycling commuters.
, Open space should be Included throughout Iowa City at a ratio of 3 acres per 1,000
persons and whenever possible I this space should be situated on a trail system.
The City of Coralvllle's recently adopted Recreational Facilities Framework Plan contains similar
. goals. The Plan Includes a Conceptual Trail Plan which IdentlfiBs opportunities to connect to the
existing and proposed river corridor trail.

Area residents seem willing to do their part to make the river corridor trail a reality. There has
been a significant volunteer effort to see the river trail to fruition. This commitment Is made more
relevant by findings of the U.S. Census report on commuting pattems, in which Iowa City was
Identified as one of a handful of communities where 15% of residents walk or bike to work.
Without designated trails for bicyclists and pedestrians, the conflicting needs of vehicular and
alternate modes of travel can create serious traffic safety concerns. Coralville,ln partnership with
Project GREEN (a citizen organization promoting environmental protection and enhancement),
began to meet this challenge through the development of 'The Coralville Connection'. By
providing a multi-use trail along the river, pedestrians and bicyclists were provided an alternative
to Highway 6, where no sidewalks currentiy exist. Additionally, a properly designed, multi. use trail
along the river can provide access to the river corridor for persons with disabilities.
Specific goals outlined by the original Stanley Plan and related to development of the river
corridor trail are renewed In this update of the Plan. Additional goals relating to the transportation
aspects of the river corridor trail have been added.
Goals:
, To maximize the recreational capacity of the river and flood plain.
, To provide a route for bicyclists and pedestrians.
· To maximize the scenic potential of the Iowa River and adjoining flood plain.
ObJectIves:
, To provide a greenway furnishing uninterrupted walking and cycling along the River and
flood plain.
. To improve public access along the River and flood plain.
· To provide linkages between the Iowa River and parks, schools, neighborhoods I and
places of business
IV. PROPOSED TRAIL SYSTEM
The proposed trail system does not vary greatly from the system originally proposed in the
Stanley Plan. Some additions to the system are proposed to effectively Implement the goal of
creating a commuter system for alternative modes of transportation. A combined pedestrian and
bicycle trail, constructed to a minimum width of ten feet, Is recommended for the entire corridor.
Approximately a half mile of the trail has been constructed on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers'
property, on the west side of the river, from just south of the Coralville Reservoir to the edge of
the Corps of Engineers' property, as recommended in the original corridor study. Another two
and a half miles of trail exist within Iowa City and Coralville. This Includes approximately one-half
mile of trail on the University of Iowa Campus, south of Park Road, recommended In the Stanley
Plan, as well as approximately two miles of trail on the west side of the river (the Coralville
Connection, Rocky Shore Drlve and City Park trails) that were not included as part of the Stanley
Plan. All of these completed sections of trail are Incorporated Inlo the river corridor trail In this
update. '

This update of the plan recommends the following locations for the trail beginning at the existing
trail near the Coralville Reservoir and ending at Napoleon Park and Mesquakle Parks in south
Iowa City. Figure 1 illustrates both the existing and proposed trail system.
. West side of the river from the Coralville Reservoir Dam to Dubuque Street, then
crossing on the Butler Bridge. (3.0 miles)
. East side of the river from the Butler Bridge to 1-80. (1.5 miles)
, Both sides of the River from 1-80 and Edgewater Park to Park Road, with at least one
river crosslng, possibly using the existing dam structure near the Iowa River Power
Company Restaurant. (3.5 miles)
. West side of the river from Park Road to the Hancher pedestrian bridge on the
University of Iowa Campus. (0.5 mile)
. Both sides of the river from the Hancher pedestrian bridge to Burlington Street, through
the University of Iowa Campus. (1.0 mile)
. West side of the river from Burlington Street to Benton Street, Incorporating the Ned
Ashton Gateway Park. (0.5 mile)
. Both sides of the river from Benton Street to Napoleon and Mesquakle Parks. (1.5
miles)
In addition to the river corrldor trail, a secondary trail along Dubuque Street and West Overlook
Drive to the Coralville Reservoir Is proposed. The trail would begin at the Butler bridge and follow
the east side of Dubuque Street and the south side of West Overlook Drive. Portions of this trail
already exist along both sides of Dubuque Street In this vicinity, but these trail segments are
fragmented and do not meet current standards for a combined pedestrlan/bicycle trail. This trail
could serve as an Intarim trail until the river trail Is completed.
V. PRIORITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Realizing that construction of the entire trail system may take several years, priorities for
construction need to be set. Establishing prlorltles will help focus the efforts of the groups
working to make the Iowa River Corridor Trail a reality. A five-year tlmeframe has been
established for the priorillzed segments. At the end of the five-year period, these priorities should
be reviewed and new priorities established.
The following five-year priorities for trail construcllon are Identified on the accompanying plan,
Figure 1. In general, building new trails Is a higher priority than Improving existing trails,
1. Iowa Memorial Union Bridge to Burlington Street.
2. Benton Street to Highway 6, west side.
3. Burlington Street to Benton Street, west side.
4. Highway 6 to Napoleon ~ark, east side.
The above prlorllles are focused on the west side of the river North of Highway 6 because the
eXisting lraills looated predominantly on the west side of the river and, by keeping the focus on
the west side, a continuous trail can be provided. South of Highway 6, the decision to

concentrate on the east side of the river Is due to the existence 01 Napoleon Park, which Is an
existing I heavily used recreational facility.
In addition to the above priorities, opportunity areas have been Identified, where trail development
might occur coincident with public Improvements or private development. Trail construction can
be added to public road and sewer projects, ollen at little additional cost. Private development
provides opportunities for dedication of right-of-way and easements, as well as trail construction.
The opportunity areas are Identified below. The order of listing does not Indicate any priority of
one project over another.
t First Avenue and the continuation 01 the Coralville Connection I In Coralville. (An interim
route along First Avenue Is recommended until the river trail can be completed.)
, The Penlnsula, an area generally defined by Tall Speedway, Dubuque Road, 1-80 and
the Iowa River, including a river crossing between Iowa City and Coralville.
, Dubuque Street, between Tall Speedway and Park Road.
, South of Highway 6, west side of the river.
VI. FUNDING
Three broad categories, local public sector funding, State and private foundation grants and
private donatlons, are possible sources lor financing both the acquisition 01 trail rlght-ol-way or
easements. and trail construction. Funding strategies drawing on all three 01 these sources will
be needed to complete the prioritized trail segments within the five-year time frame. Each source
will be discussed separately.
A. Local Public Sector FundIng
Public sector funds are those funds administered at the local government level, cities and
counties, as well as state and federal programs. Funds available for use on trail projects Include
the city and county general funds, revenues from special taxes, such as the hoteVmotel tax, road
use taxes and transportation funds allocated to local govemments by the Iowa Department 01
Transportation. Currently, the City of Coralville is the only local government In the Iowa City area
to allocate any of these funds toward trail development generally, while Iowa City has committed
to funding specific trail projects.
A new source of potential funding for trails is the Transportation Enhancement program of the
Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA). ISTEA requires states to spend at least
ten percent 01 their Surface Transportation Program ,funds on enhancement projects, which
include pedestrian end bicycle facilities. The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) has
decided that 50 percent 01 the state's enhancement funds will be allocated to localities through
Metropolitan Planning Organizations and regional planning agencies. The Johnson County
'Council of Governments (JCCOG) will be responsible for the funds in the Iowa City urbanized
area, and the East Central Iowa Council of Governments (ECICOG) will be re~ponslble for funds
In the rural areas 01 Johnson County. Atthls point In time, Iowa DOT estimates that approximate-
ly $500,000 will be available for enhancement projects In the Iowa City Urbanized Area over the
next four years, which covers the life 01 1ST EA. Any project using funding from ISTEA requires
20 percent local match .funds. The local match may come from public or private sources.

B. State and Private Foundation Grants
Grants are available from both public and private sources. The Iowa DOT administers the State
Recreational Trails Fund, and state officials are optimistic that new projects will be able to be
funded through this program because commitments to long term projects undertaken at the
beginning of the program have been fulfilled. Many private foundations have programs which can
provide funding for planning, land acquisition, and trail construction. Both public and private grant
programs usually require local matching funds,
,-'
: i C. Private Donations
Private donations can take various forms. A donation of money Is the most common. Monetary
donations can come from either individuals or organizations. The Friends of the Iowa River
Scenic Trail, Inc. (FIRST), a tax exempt corporation formed to promote construction of the Iowa
River Corridor trail, has been raising money for the trail over the past two years. Another possible
conduit for private donations Is the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Foundation. A fund could be
created within this foundation to allow contrlbullons for trail construction,
..,

:,,1
..,

.J
]
]
J
With trail development, other forms of private donations are possible. Preparation of plans and
construction documents can be donated by private individuals and businesses. This has already
been accomplished with the preparallon of a concept plan for the trail between Benton Street and
Napoleon Park by a local surveying and engineering firm (see Figure 2) FIRST played a key role
facilitating the preparation of this plan. Dedication of rights-of-way or easements and/or
construction of trails can be obtained through the development and subdivision process. Rights-
of-way and easements can also be donated as charitable contributions. Creativity and flexibility
are the keys to securing these types of donations.
To make the Iowa River Corridor Trail a reality, all of the above mentioned funding sources will '
likely be required. A strategy for obtaining and combining the various funding sources is
discussed in the Call to Action section of this plan.

VII. TRAIL STANDARDS

J
I i!
, I,
During the 1970s and early 1980s, many miles of pedestrian and bicycle trails were constructed
throughout the United States. As use of these trails Increased, trail users and the engineers and
planners who designed the trails began to realize that many of the design and construction
standards used for the trails were Inadequate. Consequentiy, the American Associallon of State
Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) produced the 'Guide for the Development of
Bicycle Facilities.' This guide Is recognized as the most authorita,tlve source available regarding
trail design and construction and as such all river corridor trail segments should be built to the
standards recommended by MSHTO. AddillonallYI the trail should be designed to accommodate
persons with disabilities to the fullest extent possible. The recommended trail cross-section Is
illustrated In Figure 3.

Generally, AASHTO recommends that combined pedestrianlblcycle trails be a minimum of ten
feet In width. Trails can be r~duced to eight feet for short distances where conditions will prohibit
a ten.foot width. These minimum widths should be used for the river corridor trail.

B. Surface
For trail segments traveling through urbanized areas, a permanent, hard surface, such as
concrete or asphalt, should be used. A hard surfaced trail Is recommended due to the
expectation of heavy use by both pedestrlans and bicyclists. For the purposes of this report. the
urbanized area Is dellned as the area between 1.80 and Highway 6, excluding the peninsula area.
For other segments of the trall, a surface of crushed limestone or similar material Is recommend.
ed to reduce construction costs and because of the expectation that these trail segments will not
be used as Intensively as will the urban segments. A hard surface overlay can be placed over
the crushed rock If use of the trail reaches a level where a hard surface Is warranted.
C. Lighting
Lighting of the trail In appropriate areas may Increase trail use by enhancing the safety of the trail.
However, lighting can add a significant cost to construction of a trail. For this reason I lighting of
the trail Is recommended only In areas where trail use after dark Is expected to be high. The trail
between Park Road and Benton Street Is the only area where lighting the trail Is recommended
at this time. The trail travels through the heart of the University of Iowa campus In this area and
It Is the area with the most Intense projected trail use. Night surveillance may need to be
Increased along lighted trail sections to enhance trail security.
VIII. COST ESTIMATE
Developing cost estimates for any project can be dilllcult. Estimating the cost of trail projects Is
made even more dilllcult due to the many variables Involved. Will land need to be purchased for
the trail or can the owners be convinced to donate the land? Should land underlying the trail be
purchased fee simple or Is an easement adequate? To what standard will the trail be
constructed? All of these factors, especially land costs, vary greatly depending on which section
of trail Is being considered for construction.
Due to the long term nature of development of the river corridor trail, only cost estimates for the
segments Identified as flve.year prlorltles are Included. These estimates are for actual trail
construction only and Include site preparation, the trail Itself, and any special structures I such as
culverts, that may be needed. Prioritized trail segments should be constructed to the urbanized
area standard previously discussed. Due to the difficulties discussed previously, land costs are
not Included In these estimates. Lighting costs are Included only where noted.
1. Iowa Memorial Union to Burlington Street
(Includes lighting to University standards)
2. Benton Street to Highway 6, west side
3. Burlington Street to Benton Street, west side
4. Highway 6 to Napoleon Park

IX. CALL TO ACTION
A plan Is Just a plan If steps are not taken to Implemenlthe plan and make It a reality. The
following recommendations ask for contributions from many groups and public entities. With the
combined ellorts of these various organlzatlons, the Iowa River Corridor Trail can become an
example of how a good Idea can become a reality.

For the purpose of discussing the continuation of our SEATS contractual relationship, two
Councllmembers have been assigned to meet with Johnson County representatives. We
assume each party will provide staff support as they see fit.
The following items will be utilized as criteria for reviewing proposals for SEATS services. Also,
should we feel a Request For Proposal process seems prudent these criteria can be used. A
few criteria are new due to our circumstances of being legally responsible for a companion
transit system to our fixed route system,
1. Assessing the volume of ridership; disabled and non-disabled elderly, physically,
mentally and behaviorally handicapped of varied ages.
.."
2. Levels of service; next day service for qualified riders, Sunday services, selection and
training of drivers for concern of clients. ability of dispatchers to assess need and refer
If appropriate to cab service or handicapped-accessible fixed route vehicles,
,', . i
3. Administration; ability for multi-year contracts, monthly evaluation of ridership,
administration and routes, and cost of service on a per hour basis.
i
It Is the desire of Council to meet, discuss these Issues and evaluate the feasibility of
recontracting with SEATS or offering a Request For Proposal In as timely a manner as
possible, The two Councllmembers are Karen KUbby and me. Our best meeting times are

City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
Date: January 20, 1994
To: Stephen Atkins, City Manager
From: Joe Fowler. Director, Parking & Transit -:;::..
Re: Fund Transfer. Parking to Transit
The City of Iowa City Three Year Financial Plan, years FY95.FY97, projects that parking systems
will operate at a deficit. This projection is based on the additional bonding and operational
expenses of the Chauncey Swan parking ramp. Revenues generated by the facility will not cover
these expenses. This is not unusual In a new facility. Chauncey Swan was designed to relieve
the demand for long term parking in the central business district. Reduced hourly and monthly
rates are charged to encourage long term parkers to walk a few blocks, thus freeing CBD spaces
for short term parkers. When the bonds were issued for the facility, CBD rates were Increased
to provide the necessary funding. As a resull, surplus funds generated by the Capitol and
Dubuque Street ramps and the parking meters have to be diverted to cover these costs.
As part of the bonding agreement the City has entered, we are required to have structural
evaluations performed and required repairs made. To fund this we have transferred funds from
operations into the Parking Renewal and Improvement Reserve. This account currently has a
balance of $1.1 million. For the next three years. $260,000 per year Is scheduled to, be
transferred into this fund and $500,000 in repairs is scheduled. This would result In a fund
balance increase of $280,000,
During the years FY95, FY96 and FY97the transfer to the parking renewal and Improvement fund
could be reduced to $170.000. If parking revenues exceed projections. the surplus would be
transferred to the reserve. This reduction would allow for the transfer of $90,000 per year from
the Parking Division to the Transit Division to help offset the op'erating cost In transit. At the end
of FY97, I propose that the policy be reviewed following a structural analysis of all parking
facilities to determine future repair costs, It should be noted that repair costs are anticipated to
Increase as warranties expire In the Chauncey Swan ramp and the faCility ages.
If additional sources of funding are required for transit, there are several possibilities for revenue
by Increasing parking fees. A 5~ per hour transit surcharge on CBD ramp parking could generate
an additional $100,000+ dollars per year. A $5 per month surcharge on parking permlls would
generate an additional $50,000 per year. Expansion of the metered zone could Increase street
meter revenue and decrease "free" parking, thus encouraging transit ridership.
