While the department has tried to conduct a limited program in the past, these efforts. have by and large been ineffective and did not provide adequate protection to the public. The budget of the Board of Health i not adequate to conduct an acceptable control program, consequently all mosquito control programs have been suspended. Several strains of viruses capable of causing encephalitis are present and have been isolated in Iowa. A few cases of arthro-- borne cases of encephalitis occur annually in Iowa with many morn concurrent cases in animals. An outbreak could occur in Johnson County under certain conditions, at any time. The mosquitos capable of transmitting encephalitis represe- the second most frequently found mosquito in the Iowa City a:vra. Larval studies conducted by the Health Department in the past have shown that approximately 20% of the larvae examined belong to the broad family capable of transmitting encephalitis. Additional classifications to species were not made. Other health effects can and do manifest themselves suci: ac - secondary infections, but these are not the health hazards cf ari -r concern to this Board. This Board recognized and acknowledged this problc^ when authorizing the expenditure of funds to contract with the Cl.arkr Outdoor Spraying service in 1973. Since that time, this firm ha surveyed for mosquito breeding sites and has acted as consultants to this Board Johnson County Board ' tir3c.

At our May 8th meeting we met with Willie Cox, a representative from Clarke, as well as Lyle Fisher from the Johnson County Board of Health (see enclosed minutes). Following a presentation by Dir. Cox and Mr. Fisher, a length}• dis- cussion was held. It was decided to appoint a subcommittee of myself, Roger Boldt and George Cain, a zoologist at the Uni•rersit., for further consideration of the matter. The subcommittee met and with the Commission's concurrence the following recommendations are made to the City Council: It is the opinion of the Commission that the City of Iowa CitN should not award a contract to Clarke Company for mosquito control for this year. While it appears that Clarke's system of control is "relatively" safe, and it is certainly safer than older practices, the Cor.mission believes that the reasons for employing any control system must he very good before it is initiated. With regard to the environnent, only the most conservative approach to controls of this kind is leg- itimate. Impact evaluations can only take into account a limited number of ecological relationships; the ecological whole is infinite- ly more subtle, more complex and more delicate. Therefore, there must be a considerable health ?:azard to iustif.• the implementation of such a control system. It is our opinion that this has not been demonstrated. While there is a general nuisance problem with buffalo gnats, flies and other insects in addition to the mos- quitoes, a nuisance problem is not sufficient ground for initiating such an expensive and elaborate system. Further, Clarke's prograa would not generally affect the buffalo gnats which last year proved to be as bothersome as the mosquitoes. Mayor Edgar Czarnecki and Council Members Page 2 • tay 21 , 1914 It is too late into the season for making a judicious dccisi,n for this year. Had the Council wished to establish a safe, effective and environmentally sound control program, the plans should have begun last fall. Moreover, this problem lends itself better to public solution rather than private. If a private firm is chosen:, it should come after deliberate scrutinicin and comnetitive ricin. At the same time an ongoing e ort sioul e made to utilize public means. CEQ proposes that an interim control system be established for this year, a system that would monitor the development of the mosquito population in the Iowa City-Coralville area. Such a measure ti:ouia be far cheaper and it appears likely that local people can be found to work on it. George Cain, for example, has offered to let people in the program use the zoology lab's facilities to identify captured mosquito populations. They may even be able to train them in distin- guishing the various species. Based on careful monitoring this %-car and a thorough researching of methods of control, an intelligent decision can be made for next year. If we can be of further assistance, please noti{v us.

Vetter, Jim Roldt Cain, Lyle Fisher, Willie Cox, hick Glynn'Melchert q , The meeting began with a discussion of the mosquito control proposal presented to the Iowa City and Coralville City Councils by Clarke Company, a:commercial outdoor spraying firm from La Grange, Illinois. This matter was referred to-CEQ>by the Iowc City Council for study and recommendations: Skip Laitner stated -that -there were a number of questions which had to be answered: Whether or.:not the mosquito problem in the Iowa City area is more than a`nuisance, and if it is more than a nuisance problem (i.e. a -health problem), what kind of control progran is most appropriate. Skip added that it was his opinion that an effec- tive control program needed to bean ongoing one instead of a short term program. At this point it was decided that before discussing the matter any further, it would be best to review the film prepared by Clarke Company on their _control program. After showing the film, Willie Cox of Clark and Lyle Fisher, County Health Director, answered.the questions of Commission members. Jit Osburn asked if the methods used by Clarke were effective in control- ling house flies as well as mosquitoes. Cox responded that malathion was not effective in controlling house flies since they tend to be- come highly resistant in a short period of time. Jim asked if mos- quitoes did ,not become resistant to malathion as well. Cox replied that mosquitoes did not become resistant at the dosages of malathion use - 1-11� ounces per acre. .� V Skip no that it `was his understanding that of malathion is its `use as "an:insecticide`for vegetables rather .`than -as= "a direct`.sp'ray 'for was shortlive-d and had to' be'' reapplied often. malathion has a.lahel for`vegetables.and hard certified by EPA and -USDA: There was also a question about the number of encephalitis cases in Johnson County, over theast few half -tis p Years. Lyle Fisher said that there was an encephalitis. problem to,a very limited extent, but that he was concerned about the potential for such a problem. When asked what he meant by "potential" Fisher replied that the encephalitis virus is inthe environment constantly and is isolated consistently and that it is not known exactly 'what conditions are necessary to precipitate an outbreak of encephalitis. It is known that there are virus carrying mosquitoes .in -this area.. Mr. Fisher added that it was his job -to prevent such outbreaks and that a program would reduce the chances of an outbreak. A mosquito control program is advocated by the governor's Committee on -Health, be it either encouraged or operated by public health departments. Fisher said that the health department had operated a, control program but that it was inadequate and discontinued when Iowa Ci•4y cut its budget. Fisher continued saying that Clarke was the only company he could find with an adequate mosquito control program. "Their primary concern is not health, but nuisance control and 'that public health comes as a by-product. Roger Boldt asked for a history of the relationship between mosquitoes and health in Johnson _County -and ;'the history of control programs in the County. Fisher said that he did .not know what the control programs had entailed before 1968. "It consisted of a 2 gallon hand sprayer using #2 diesel fuel. This was 'sprayed on water surfaces to control larvae. He could not relate: the consequences of this ineffective system for health ,but, _did say there were other diseases that could be spread by mosquitoes besides encephalitis. Julia Lyon asked if the program was instituted in Iowa City would areas outside the city limits be treated since the survey conducted by Clarke indicated that there were many breeding areas out in the County. Lyle Fisherreplied;that the County would cooperate in treating large, breeding areas. but: that their control program would not be comprehensive. He said that he didn't have any dollars and cents figures but that the -Board of. Supervisors would delegate the responsibility;to..the Health Department. The Board has supported Clarkes program monetarily,; though no fixed amount has been deter- mined yet, subject to Iowa City's. approval. The $21,000 cost .figure applies only to Iowa City.- Mr. Cox -said that if complaints were received after -a spraying, the area would be treated again. He went on to explain what ''Abate' is and that it was approved by EPA. This is the product. used in larvaciftng, George Cain of the Zoology, department at the University was asked for his oppinion . He ,replied that he,thou?ht Clarke's program was a reasonable:program'for controlling mosquitoes from the standpoint of minimal danger due to insecticides. He noted that the levels that Clarke uses in mosquito -coq. tropre aonly1 1/30 of the levels .:r used for agricultural purposes. He 'added that h,!,%' didn't know much about Abate except,that it is widely "used.- Mr. C' ox continued, explaining how-Dursban larvic.ide`would'be used in all street catch - basins. He said that he had contacted Dave Mick of the state DEQ to inquire about deaths in Iowa due to insecticides. Statistics show that aspirin leads the list as a cause of death. Cox added that table salt is more toxic.than malathion. Caine said that the didn't think that there was much concern about the toxicity of malathion for humans or mammals but that. ,.there '"might be some concern for its effects upon the food -chain killing the food of fish. He added that if a community wished to control mosquitoes that'Clarke's was a reasonable method of doing so. -He-:.-mphasized, however, that the question to be considered is how badly does Iowa City need a mosquito control pro- gram. As far as _health hazards. are concerned, he agreed that mos- quitoes always present a health hazard potential but that very little is known about the dynamics of virus transmission. Cain noted that there were :very few reported of encephalitis in the state but that there were probably 20 unreported cases for every reported case. Johnson County hasn't -had. 'much of a problem but this isn't to say that conditions couldn't develop which would be favorable for virus transmission. Controls, built in through monitoring mosquito pop- ulations, would make -.an outbreak of encephalitis unlikely. Skip said that a recommendation should go to the Council within two weeks to coincide with Clarke's'schedule and with the City's need to make a decision soon. Cox noted that the time to do larviciding was approaching since ,there had been several rains recently. If Clarke does start a little late different methods will have to be used - adult population spraying Julia Lyon reported that she had received several phone calls about the proposed mosquito control program, all of them negative. One of the persons calling had written to Donald Morgan, Director of the Iowa Community Pesticide Study. Among other considerations, Dr. Morgan wrote that the nuisance value of mosquito problems, the avail- ability of alternative methods of control and the potentialities for resistance of the -mosquito species being attacked ought to be con- sidered. Dr. Morgan recommended that urban entomologists be contacted and reported that IVayne Rawley, a medical entomologist at Ames be contacted. Ames -operates -their .their own program with graduate students. Cain added that Ames: is 'able to -run their own program because of a large stock of qualified personnel but that it is questionable that Iowa City would have an adequate pool of qualified people to run a similar program. Dick Baker said that many asthmatics are adversely affected by spray- ing insecticide in the air. Cox replied that old methods of control (use of fuel oil) caused ,many problems but that the ultra low volume method precipitated few complaints because of its small particle size. If there are acute cases of asthma in a community, Mr. Cox said that the names of these people are taken and notified of their schedule for spraying. Don Schleisman said that he didn't think that CFQ should address itself to the healthproblems or alternative methods but that the impact on the environment;should b.e the Commission's primary consider- • s ou at .ef lup .to,.the,_City Council. Skip a disagreed `with `Don' interpretation of:_what 'environmental' entails. He felt that our. charge -was much broader. Skip moved that a sub- committee be>formed to draw upa!report-before the meeting with the EPA noise specialists on May 'I S. The motion was seconded by Pon and passed unanimously. Roger Boldt,'George Cain and Skip Laitner were appointed members of the subcommittee. Mr. Cox suggested that Dr. DeWitt and Dr. Stockdale:of Iowa StateUniversity be contacted. The subcommittee meeting was set .for 8:30 A.M. Monday, May 13. The recommendation of that subcommittee will be considered at the May 15th meeting. Open Burning Glynn Melchert presented.a letter which she had read to the Citv Council on the open burning problems The letter summarized her experiences-and,opinions',on the: open burning problem. She sa:d that she had contacted the police department about open incinerators and they had referred her to the Fire' Department, where she was told that open incinerators were not legal unless attended. This policy seemed unenforceable to her. She also said there was only brief discussion of the matter and that the Council had referred it to CEQ. She re- ported that Ray Wells was of the opinion that it would he a situation where everything could be burned,or;nothing. Skip said that CEQ had considered the open burning problem last year and an open burning ordinance was drafted but nothing was done after that. Glynn Melchert suggested sending for ordinances from other cities. St. Louis, Applington,`Wisconsin and Cedar Rapids have passed such ordinances. Lyle Fisher.said that the Health Department had conducted a survey ,on open incinerators 2 or 3 years ago and recom- mended that an ordinance be passed on open burning. Nothing had been done by the Council at that time. Ms. Melchert also said that Rav Wells felt that there would be a problem prohibiting the burning sof leaves. Roger`Boldt felt that -the burning of leaves is ecologically senseless and thatperhaps a municipal composting system could he considered as partofthe open burning problem. After a brief discussion,Don Schleisman moved that a subcommittee be appointed to look at other ordinances and to make recommendations on what should be done. -The motion was passed unanimously. Art Vetter, Glynn Melchert and Don Schleisman were appointed to the sub- committee. "Don suggested that we seek legal counsel. Art was appointed Chairperson of:,the"subcommittee.

Instead they will indicate the areas in which they plan to initiate proposals and ask for staff time. ,,James Csburn moved that the following budget request be adopted:- a'$.300 travel fund; $100 for excessive printing costs; an allocation for a 10-15 hour a week law student; 4 J':t r -k z__. ay?SW u�? �" r til, �:'srt '•. _T ry � ;: � 'v � ?"k3 >.} �•'� r 4 s s-. f�f xs`��s t[ja.^i {`rr.T tis i ti �� 1 1 1T hs lt{ 2t lid { _ ation The' rest h' I 'b • s ou at .ef lup .to,.the,_City Council.

Land Use Roger Boldt deferred his comments to a later meeting but asked that the third meeting from this one be devoted to a general discussion and presentation on land use '(June 19th). The letter drafted by Roger Boldt to the'Board.on land use has been sent and CFQ had received no response as of May 8th.; Roger outlined what he thought should be the position of CEQ with regard to land use - that a thorough land use study:be conducted and that interim controls be utilized to protect the environment from the inroads of additional subdivision:development and protection of natural areas. Roger indi- cated that he would look into when .zoning changes were made in the County with regard to rural resort. Skip offered to give Roger all the material he had accumulated as a member of the land Use Committee. Junked Car Proiect Don Schleisman reported that he had organized 2,000 boy_ scouts to go out and identify junked cars. Follow up on Recycling Project A letter has been sent to the City Council from CEQ encouraging then to put more effort into informing the public of pick up dates. Skip noted that the amounts picked up have progressively gone down over the past month. Skip plans to 'attend the Council meeting to elicit discussion on the matter. It was suggested that CEQ try to schedule an interview on the Dotty Ray Show ani that we ask or announcements on the "What's Your Problem Show." Noise Ordinance Skip announced that two noise specialists will be in Iowa City on May 15th to meet with CEQ on their ordinance. Skip also discussed a work book sent to CEQ by EPA on noise control ordinances. The book contains some survey questionnaires which would be very helpful in assessing noise problems specifically and other environmental pro- blems. The suggestion for an Environmental Protection Officer was also well received by .the "Commission. Such an officer would handle several environmental areas noise, air pollution, solid waste, etc. The Staff will notify members of the specific meeting time with the EPA specialists. The materials sent by EPA will be left in the Reg- ional Planning Comrission office. John Neff, Joe Klinsky,°Bob Morriss James Curtis and Arnold Small will be invited to the meeting on May 15th.

This was found infeasible with insufficient layover to insure peak hour service without delay. A trial run of service from Mark IV to the University Hospital, to downtown and then to Wardway, and return was also made. This would require a 60 'minute headway. As a result of these trials, alternatives 1 and 3 outlined in our April 15 analysis are infeasible. We conclude that it is infeasible to service Wardway, Bon Aire, and Mark IV by rerouting and adding a single bus. Although the adopted scheme serves all three, the deletion of direct service from Benton Street area to the hospital should be- avoided. eavoided. Consequently, we suggest priorities be set and service extenslcrns be confined to one or two of the areas. We suggest one of the following alternatives: 1. Pair an extended Lakeside route that serves Bon Aire . 4th Benton Street route that serves Mark IV. This would require an additional bus to maintain 30 minute headways. This alternative doers not serve Wardway and would not provide direct service to the University Hospital for i wrcrest route patrons Mr. Robert Hilgenberg page II " 2. Add one new route serving Mark N-Hospital-Wardway. This means a 60 minute headway and no service to Bon Aire at this time. Other routes are not changed but crowding would be alleviated on Hawkeye and Benton Street routes. 3. Add one route serving Mark IV -Hospital -downtown. This would mean a 40 minute headway and no service to Bon Aire or Wardway at this time. The above assumes no additional funding as Saturday service cut backs are implied,. In light of the impending Federal Aid to Urban Systems (FAUS) program, Iowa City will be receiving an additional $180,000 - $250,000 per year beginning in FY -75. Although this is for construction, some property tax monies may be released due to decreased street con- struction bonding requirements. If this allows budget reallocation, retention of Saturday service 'levels and extension of service to all three areas might be contemplated also. Another important factor to consider is that ridership is up 17" during the first quarter of 1974 over 1973,. This may be attributed partly to the energy crisis although new riders tend to remain, given past experience here. This material is intended to point out difficulties with tampering with established ridership patterns, while at the same time trying to find satisfactory ways to extend service coverage. Although the adopted scheme extends service as directed by the Council it lowers service levels on other parts of the system. We have reattached the analysis of the adopted scheme that illustrates this point. KTD/bah Encls . cc: Mr. R. Wells i Sincerely, l� Kenneth J.

In view of the above service questions, we attempted to htain some actual data through limited surveys, hiders were placed on the West Bentr.n - Towncrest routes during both peak pert.,ds and once in the'afternoon on Thursday, April 11th. Boarding and alighting data wus,hollected from a total of 5 trips on each of the. routes. Table I provides a summ-,ry of the data collected on the West Benton route.

Table 2 provides a summary of the results of this survey. Again, we note that there is a significant proportion of trips being made to the hospital area. Demand for shopping trips to Wardway is not significantly greater than to any other shopping area. Given the results of the above two surveys, v:e may conclw!e that by discontinuing service to the hospital area, a large number of 1•eo;:lf• in. the area serviced by the current West Benton route •.would'realizv tt Consid- erable reduction in service. A transfer of vohicles at the Riverside-E;� rlinytun intersection or downtown is not viewed as a desirable alternative.

We nota i nmediately that the most number of trips would be served by pairing the Lakeside route vjith a ' vzest side route, Adding Bon Aire to the Lakeside route improves the service even more. However, since additional latent demand would now be served -I on an already heavily used route, overcrowding would probably become a serious problem.

As discussed above serving Wardway by a West Berton route is not recommended because of the high demand for University Hospital service in the Vest Benton area. Consequently, one of the following routing arrangements is preferable. Alternative 1 (See Map 1) Alternative 1 consists of pairing a new West Benton Route that serves Mark N with the Mall route that serves Bon Aire. Three, buses would be necessary on this route pair to maintain 30 -minute heddways. Lakeside could then be modified to serve Ward%va - by looping the return to operate on Highway 6 from Lakeside to 'A*ardway,_ This achieves serving all three areas, but has the followin , probtems: 1. Would 30-headways provide enough capacity given the addition of Mark N and Bon -Aire? Probably not, and _, fourth bus would be needed from September through Apr il. 2. The revised routing of West Benton would leave the Woodside Drive and. Greenwood Drive area unserved. 3. This alternative would deprive Towncrest route',.patron , direct service to the University Hospital complex. However.- this problem is partially alleviated by re- routing te Mall bus from Summit -Bowery -Gilbey.. to the Dodge -Governor one-way pair to provide direct cross river service for the east side sorority area.

The revised Lakes ide.route: to include Wardway will necessitate a large loop. In the morning outbound buses would use Highway -6 from Wardway to Lakeside and.return on a collection route through the area south of Highway 6.In the afternoon outbound buses would distribute patrons through the area south of Highway 6 and return -via Highway 6 to Wardway. Adding Wardway will make it difficult to maintain headways on this out route and will also leave the Kirkwood -Gilbert Street area unserved. (Approximately 10% of -total patronage). A variation of this alternative would be to retain the present Lakeside route and not provide service to Wardway at this time. Alternative 2 (See Map 2) Alternative 2 consists of pairing the new West Benton route that serves Mark N with the Lakeside route that is extended to serve Bon Aire. Three buses would be necessary on this route pair to maintain 30 -minute headways. This alternative does not provide service to Wardway and has the following problems: 1. Would 30-headways provide enough capacity given the addition of Mark N and Bon Aire? Probably not, and a fourth bus would be needed from September through April. 2. The revised routing of West Benton t:•ould leave the Woodside Drive and Greenwood Drive area unserved. 3. This alternative would deprive Towncrest route patrons direct service to the University Hospital complex, but tivould provide Lakeside patrons direct access to the hospital.

Again, would 30 -minute headways provide sufficient capacity? t 2. Again, the unserved area .at'Woodside and Greenwood. 3. Again, eliminating direct access to the hospital for Towncrest routepatrons. 4. Leaves the Kirkwood -Gilbert Street area unserved . 5. Would require a large loop to maintain headways. Alternative 4 (See Map 4) This alternative does not alter any of the existing routes, but adds one route having a 40 -minute headway, which serves Mark N and provides cross -river service for the east side sorority house area. This alternative provides the most direct routing to Mark 11.1 -West Benton area and would also help alleviate overcrowding on the Hawkeye route. It would also alleviate the need for. 20 -minute service for East College and Towncrest by servicing their close -in demand. This alternative tampers least with existing patronage and increases the level of service to present' problem areas, but it does not service Wardway and Bon Aire.

Recommendation Table 3 summarizes the service changes Clearly there are tradeoffs when attempting to add three areas when adding only one bus to the system. Because of the tradeoffs in service Alternative 4 is recommended for immediate implementation, along with the construction of a side wide and/or roadway between Lakeside and Bon Aire.. Service to and from would be too low to justify service which would necessitate so much in,:onvenience to existing patrons.. If, on the other hand, the Council Bels provision of service to Rit;rk N, Wardway and Bon Aire warrants service reductions in other parts of the system., Alternative 1 is recommended.

HAYEK JOHN W. HAYEK C. PETER HAYEK The Honorable Mayor and City Council of Iowa City Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Re: Human Relations Commission --Complaints Against the City Mayor and Council Members: At your meeting on May 14, 1974, you requested my views on the question of the: advisability of the Iowa City Human Relations Commission handling and investigating complaints of discriminatory practices brought by complainants against the City of Iowa City. By way of review, you will note that the Iowa City Human Relations Commission is established by Chapter 10. 2 of the City Code of Iowa City. That ordinance provides for a Human Relations Commission to be appointed by the Mayor with the approval of the City Council and to consist of nine members. Further, the members of the Commission shall serve without compensation but shall receive expenses, as approved by the City Council. The staff. of; the Human Relations Commission shall be appointed by the City Manager, subject to the approval of the City Council. The Commission is given broad powers to receive, investigate and pass upon complaints of discriminatory practices in the area of employment, housing, provision ofpublicaccommodations, and the like. The ordinance establishes certain discriminatory practices which are prohibited under the ordinance and provides for remedies in the event of violation. There appears to be to me no question that the Human Relations Commission has the authority to investigate complaints by persons against the City of Iowa City. ` Specifically, for example, the City is declared to be an employer,within the provisions of the ordinance with respect to employment. See Section 10. 2. ll(B)(II). However, the question is not whether or:.not the Commission has authority to act upon complaints against the City but whether or not the Commission ought to so act. May 17, 1974 judicial or quasi-judicial function. In performing this function the Commission should not be subject to ;conflicting duties or conflicting interests. Arguably, the Commission is subject to such conflicting duties and interests with respect to complaints against the City of Iowa City itself. Although commissioners are not employed as such by the City, their status as members of the Commission is controlled by the City Council. Additionally, the degree of staff support, both through the City Manager and through the City Attorney's Office, are subject to City Council control and presumably the Commission, in acting upon complaints, would be cognizant of this fact. The problem, however, is even greater, it seems to me, with respect to the Commission's staff. The Human Relations Coordinator, hired and controlled by the City Manager subject to Council approval, and Assistant City Attorneys and the City Attorney, are all financially depen- dent upon the City Council. Aggressive processing of a complaint in the investigative or litigation stages could pose substantial problems for staff. As stated by the Iowa Supreme Court in Wilson v. Iowa City, 165 N. NN'. 2d 813, 823 (Iowa, 1969): The employer-employee relationship has always been lrecognized as one source of possible conflict of interest. It:would perhaps be more accurate to describe this, as some writers have done, as a conflict of duties rather than conflict of interest. When one is committed to give loyalty and dedi- cation of effort to both his public office and his private employer, when the interests of those two may conflict, 'one is`faced with pressures and choices to which no public servant should be unnecessarily exposed. Certainly the Human Relations Coordinator, hired as indicated above by the Manager, could not be expected to aggressively pursue a complaint against employment practices promulgated by the City Manager, Igor could the City Attorney or those working under the City Attorney be expected to both prosecute and defend at the same time a legal action against their employer. The employment of outside consultants whenever a complaint against the City is filed does 'not eliminate the problem and of course adds the additional problem of substantial expense. any time a complaint is filed against the City. An outside investigator whether the investigator be an May 17, 1974 attorney or other trained person is still employed by the City Council. For example, attorneys employed by the City to handle a complaint would still presumably need to obtain Council authority to file a suit against the Council, would from time to time need to visit with the City Council with respect to litigation strategy',in connection with litigation against the City Council, and even might be required to obtain approval from the City Council to appeal a decision -won by the City Council in a lower court to a higher court. Certainly such a situation would be incongruous to say the least. The City Council could find itself in the awkward position of receiving advice from one at as to the prosecution of a case and receiving advice from the City Attorney as to the defense of the very same case. The role of professional staff is critical to the effective functioning of the Commission. This is recognized in Chapter 10. 2 of the City Code itself which providesthat after the filing of a complaint, the secretary of the Commission, -shall refer the complaint to the City Attorney for investi- gation and an initial determination of probable cause. Section 10. 2. 15, City Code. This is especially so because the issues handled by the Commission often involve complex factual and legal situations, the use of persons trained in the investigation of such situations, trained in the proper methods of preservation of testimony and evidence, trained in the analysis of such evidence and the like. Any agency handling a complaint must be able to promptly and without delay allocate competent staff to this work as quickly. as possible both in order to preserve evidence before it becomes lost or destroyed and also to provide a meaningful remedy to a person who has suffered from a discriminatory practice. If the City were to attempt to use outside investigative and legal consultants to handle all cases involving complaints against it, it would be best for those consultants to be available on some type of continuing basis. The Rabenold matter is, it seems to me, an excellent example of the problems arising when;the Human Relations Commission attempts to itself investigate and handle complaints against the City. In that case, (Jo Ellen Rabenov. City of Iowa City, et al., United States District Court, Southern District of Iowa, Civil No. 72-24-D) Ms. Rabenold, who had filed a complaint with the Human Relations Commission alleging that the City had been guilty of a discriminatory employment practice, became dissatisfied with the progress of the Human Relations Commission's conciliation efforts with the City and filed suit in Federal Court alleging that a conspiracy existed to deny her her civil rights. The Human Relations Commission and the City Attorney were named as defendants because of their role in investigating the complaint. The suit is pending L,_ ]. y !Z7 Ad Honorable Mayor an City Council of Iowa at this time. May 17, 1974 As indicated above, the Commission does have the authority to handle complaints against the City. However, it seems to me that the Commission ought not to attempt to process complaints against the City, especially complaints, where it appears likely that enforcement efforts and lengthy conciliation will be required. Unfortunately, this determination is not easy to make, especially at the early stages of the procedure. It would seem to me that an appropriate alternative would be for the Iowa City Human Relations Commission to refer complaints against the City itself to the Iowa Civil Rights Commission for processing. This procedure would ensure that an aggrieved; person's complaint would rece; ve the attention of an outside agency and staff with no conflicting duties. JWii:vb Respectfully submitted, L' Jo W.

Zi . o.+ < i... 0 I 1U FROM: City Manager R6: Ralston Creek Study Purpose May 20, 1974 The occurrence of heavy spring rains, requests for building activity near the flood plain, and the annual review of the Capital Improvements Plan and Budget have all contributed to a revived citi- zen interest in Ralston Creek. Subsequently the City Council has requested that this brief status report be filed with the Council in order to clarify any misunderstanding relative to the progress which has been made on the Ralston Creek flooding problem. Flood Plain Ordinance The City Council presently has tabled a Flood Plain Ordinance for Ralston Creek which was recommended to the Council by the Plann- ing and Zoning Commission in March of 1972. The deferment, by tabl- ing, came after a-Tublic hearing in April of 1972 and a second read- ing of the ordinance in May of 1972. The City Manager had recommended the deferral of the passage of the ordinance in order to be assured that the eventual resolution of the flooding problem would be compati- ble with the control function of an adopted flood plain ordinance. Activities The following report is an excerpt from a Department of Communi- ty Development progress report: "In April, 1974, the City contracted for aerial photography so that the flood plain maps could be redrawn. The original mapping was based on December, 1964 aerial Photography with some update. The maps that were -used for the 1972 ordinance are somewhat obsolete in -various places :.considering that there have been bridge replace- ments and other changes in the Creek cross section. Currently, the Soil Conservation Service is in the initial stages of a study to suggest alternative solutions to the flooding by proposing impoundment structures as well as other types of facill.- ties that could Possibly reduce the flood plain of Ralston Creek to its present stream bed. It is anticipated that they would be able� to come to the City with preliminary alternatives by early fall of 1974. A meeting was held on Wednesday, May 8, to have all parties 11 Memo to: City,Council -2 May 20, 1974 (Soil Conservation Service, City, Department of Natural Resources, and the United States Geological -Survey) concerned touch base with respect to their individual activities. The following represents an indication of the status of _those 'various activities The Surface Water Division of the U. S. Geological Survey will be preparing flood hazard as part of '. maps for the Federal Insurance Administration the"Type 15 Rate Making Studies for the HUD Flood Insurance Program. They will`define'a hundred and five -hundred year flood and the floodway. They will also be presenting information on the ten-year flood. They are coordinating all of their activities with the Iowa Natural Resources Council in that the Resources Council is the state agency responsible for this action. They will be delineating the flood hazard areas within the City limits for the Iowa River Rapid .Creek, Clear Creek, and, we , Ralston Creek, if can provide the mapping, for the unnamed creek currently flowing we Willow Creek Park. (As an aside, it has been determined that that creek can be named by sending in a suggested name for the creek to a central agency which dlineates geographical names. We will be pursuing this in the very near future.) e The Soil Conservation Service from Des Moines will be providing the ground control for the mapping for the Ralston Creek Flood Plain area. They will then upon receipt of flood plain maps from continue their study of alternative structure locations. Iowa City The City of Iowa City will be providing flood plain maps at 1" 1001, 2' contour, for the flood hazard areas for Ralston Creek and for what we currently call Willow Creek flowing through Willow Creek Park. We will also be providing ground control in those areas that will not be provided by the SCS. This ground control will probably be by a hired consultant. The City will also be hiring a consultant in the next several months to look at a broader water resources management study for Rai_ ston Creek (and it is hoped also that the study will have applicability to Willow Creek, Rapid Creek, and Clear Creek flood plains). This study will look at other alternatives for long range solutions to flooding as alternatives to the, dams and diversiontunnel as well as looking at any other types of treatments that would be useful in the Ralston Creek Watershed in conjunction with the SCS structures. The Iowa Natural Resources Council will be involved are already working directly with the SCS andin that they of the U. S. Geological SuSurface Water Division rvey with the respect to flood plain delineations on Ralston Creek. Jim :'Cooper of the Iowa Natural Resources Council and S. W. Wiitala of the Geological Survey both have agreed that it would be a valuable activity to map the flood plain for Willow Creek. The Geo- logical Survey would provide us with the delineation of the flood plain for Willow Creek. They would provide field 'surveys of the cross sections of the Creek and we 'as a City would provide the contour mapping. Plished in is anticipated that the inethata lg of Ralston Creek will be accom- the next photography was taken on April 25, 1974. 11 11 Memo to: City Council May 20, 1974 In that we do not have.the detailed.work program , Soil Conservation Service, we cannot"totall p g yet from the s of this date, a study design for'the Ralston Creek FloodpPlainaManagerment Study to be accomplished by a consultant. It would be anticipated that this study design would be available by the end of June and that hiring for a consultant could proceed very shortly thereafter." Summary It would appear that the reasons for recommending deferral of the adoption of a flood plain ordinance in 1972 are still valid and operative in the spring of 1974. A flood plain ordinance should be regarded as one part of a comprehensive program to resolve the prdoblE,ra associated with the annual flooding of Ralston Creek. Such an or i_aan:.e should not only serve as a regulating device but it should also be an integral part of a comprehensive policy for community action. It ;gust be based on the best informationobtainable and employ the latest tech- nology which is currently being developed by the multi -agency research and planning effort. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council should continue to support the, research and planning efforts and defer consideration of the passage of a flood plain ordinance until the 1.3tter part of 1974.

There does not appear to be anything we can legally do to prevent parking there since it is a parking zone. There seems to be a greatdealof traffic due to the fact that the'Firma Goldman Clinic, which provides abortion services, is in the area. At one time a girl coming from the clinic apparently vomited in the parking space in front of Mrs. White's house. This, of course, was most annoying to.Mrs. White. Captain Ruppert informed her that shouldsheencounter any problems in the future, particularly at night, to call us immediately and we would be out. If the problem continues, I will contact the Emma Goldman Clinic myself since we have had some Iconversations with them during the past through Women Against Rape. David G.

Y ti+cAWL •r DATE: May 102 1974 TO: Ray Wells FROM: David G. _Epstein' RE: Complaint - Mrs._ John Birch #6 Forest Glenn - Relayed by Mayor Czarnecki Captain Ruppertwentout to visit Mrs. Birch personally to determine the extent of the problem. He reports that it appears:'that;some of the neighborhood }rids have been going into the_tiMber from time to'time on their bikes. The timber, is on private property belonging to Bruce Glasgow. This occurrence took place approximately two to four weeks ago Captain Ruppert assured Mrs. Birch that we were concerned about .the problem and would respond immediately should she observe motorcyclistsin the area again. Captain Ruppert also told her that we would also keep a close eye on the area. In reference to the Mayor's receipt of complaints from residents in the Lamplighter, area., I have instructed the afternoon and night shifts to start writing tickets under the excessive riotor vehicle noise section of the -City Code. I think we will soon see the results'cf our concentrated efforts there. DGE:cw DATE: TO: Ray S. Wells, -City Manager FROM: George R. Bonnett, Acting Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Parking on 7th Avenue Court and Bradley Street (Pending Council Item 73-1103) A review of the parking situation at the subject location was made by the Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works which established the following facts: 1. Both 7th Avenue Court and Bradley Street are 25 feet in width and have a Portland cement concrete surface. 2. 7th Avenue Court is a residential street running southeast from 7th Avenue, an arterial, and is approximately one block south of Muscatine Avenue. 3. Bradley Street is a residential street running northeasterly from 7th Avenue Court and lies approximately 200 feet South' - east of 7th Avenue. Bradley Street is one block long. 4. Parking is currently allowed on both sides of the street on Bradley Street as well as 7th Avenue Court. In 1973 a recommendation was made to Council by the Department of Public Works to,remove parking.on all streets in the city less than 31 feet in width. This would provide for one foot for the curbs, two 11 -foot traffic -lanes, and one 8 -foot parking lane. Streets of less than 31 feet in width will inevitably result in one-way traffic adjacent to parked vehicles. The situation on.both.of the subject streets is obviously inadequate for two: way traffic due to parking on both sides. Subtracting two 8 -foot parking lanes from a 24 -foot street surface leaves only 8 feet -for a vehicle to travel between the two rows of parked cars. Parking on both of these streets is quite intensive during non -working hours. `To relieve congestion in this area, it is the recommendation of the Department of Public Works that parking be removed from at least one side of the streets. Recognizing the Council decision to leave parking.on one side of the street of streets of 2S feet.in width,..L would presume that in order to remain consistent with the policy established parking should be left on at lease one side of both streets; even though this will not allow for • two way traffic. If you have any questions concerningthis Memorandum please don't hesitate to contact me. E In response to your inquiry concerning our streetainting for traffic markings please,be advised that we are in the process of repainting:our streets. Acceleration of the program by letting some other type of maintenance go is difficult in that our paint.truck is being utilized to the fullest extent at this time by our regular paint crew. I feel that we.are in excellent shape in our street marking program and I anticipate having the arterials completed by mid- May. In response to.your specific question on St. Pat's school please be advised that we.have added a crosswalk at the crown of the hill for better sight distance. The rest of the school crosswalks, will not be picked.up until late summer so as to better preserve these markings when they are actually needed. If you would like to discuss our street marking program in greater detail please don't hetitate to contact me. OFFICE MEMORANDUM DATE: May 13, 1974 TO: Ray S. Wells, City Manager FROM: George R.

Additionally, looking at the demolition waste being brought in, it would be my opinion that very little of this material is salvagable in that a wrecking ball is being used by the demolition contractor and.the material is quite finely pulverized. We have had numerous requests for salvaging operations from private contractors as well as from individuals wishing landfill material.
