Gustoff: A complaint was filed In ml office by Philip C. Howze on March 8, 1990, ragardlng the charging of a "no show fare. The complaint also stated that the drivers Identification badge and rate card were not prominently displayed. A copy of the complaint was presented to you and a response was received from your attorney, Patricia Kamath, on March 20, 1990. I appreciated your quick response to this complaint. I have reviewed the complaint and your response with city legal counsel and reached the following conclusions: 1, If you wish to charge for "no shows", you must Includa the rata on your rate Sheet/card. There Is no basis for charging such a fee without proper posting and notification. You Indicated that the passenger knew of tho charge prior to riding but we are unable to verify that Information. Therefore. the Importance of havln9 such a fee posted Is evident, and a rafund of ninety-five (,95tl should be made to Hr, Howze. 2. Section 35-22 of the City Code of Ordinances states that the rate card must be visible to all passanger seats and each driver, I do not feel ,that a card the size of your rata card Is visible from the back seat when posted In the front. In order to comply with the ordinance a larger card should be used for visibility from the front seat or a card posted In the back seat arel., 3, Section 35-20 states that the drivers Identification card must be worn at all times. Hr. Howze reports that the card was not visible. Pleasa advise drivers of this requirement. I trust that these matters will be resolved In the very near future. and remind you that continued complaints could affect renewal of your license, Sincerely, 7lL~ II ~ Harlan K.

IOWA 52242 REC[ IVED MAR 211990 The nev boiler instilled by the University, using the lltest technology, his brought vlth It In unexpected Ind unvelcome companion .. a steady humming sound. Although the UniverSity hiS reduced the Intensity of this hum and Is taking melsures to completely eliminate Its public effects, "lie felt It VIS Ipproprllte at this time to shire vlth our 10vI City neighbors both the background Ind the prospects," says Susln H. PhIllips, VIce President for Ffnance Ind University Services. Elrly In the list decade, It became applrent that the University vould need to repllce Its Iglng boIler. To minimIze the potential ~ollutlon due to sulfur dioxIde Ind the resultant Icld rlln, the UniversIty developed a plln to Instill a fluIdIzed bed boiler. Such a boiler combines limestone vlth high sulfur coal In a process vhlch nearly ellmlnatos sulfur emission to the atmosphere. The noIse problem was apparent at the time the boiler was fIrst fired up In the fall of 1988. The enormous Induced draft fan Immediately beneath the smoke stack that brings air in for combustIon produced a hum that vas clearly audible beyond the viCinity of the Pover Plant. IIhen It became apparent that no operational change would eliminate the noIse, sound measurements wero taken to Identify the nature of the problem and a sound attenuator vas ordered and Installed In the emission stack. ThIs Ictlon reduced the sound level considerably. In fact, the muffler vas designed to reduce the sound far below ambIent night sounds. But the hum was and Is still audible at certain times and places. As the numbor of families that reported being dIsturbed by the nofse clImbed to four, the University decided that a more detailed study vas required to detormlne what additional steps could be taken to reduce the sound level. A local engineerIng fIrm was askod to take sound measurements at various tImes of the day and night and at various places In the cIty to Identffy the Intensity of sound at each of the frequencIes specified by the Iowa CIty noise ordInance. The measurements were made and the report completed. But the report gave no gufdance toward a solution. The measurements demonstrated that sound levels specified by the noise ordlnanco wero, at tImes, bolng exceeded ., but usually at frequenCies that would not be caused by the fnduced draft fan of the boiler. In fact, at some frequenCies and times, the measured sound levels were higher when the boiler vas off than vhen It was on due to the different makeup of ambient noise. In addItion to this, the University has been frustrated by the fact that the sound appears to be affected by humidity, temperature, wind direction, and distance from the Power Plant " but In no consistent pattern. That fs, It Is not always noIsy on a day with high humidity, or even vhen the vlnd Is moving from the Pover Plant towards the observation area, although at other tfmes vhen the noise Is at Its maxtmum, those factors are present. PhYSical Plant assigned a staff engIneer to take on this problem as his highest priority. This assignment remains In effect until the problem fs solved. An Immediate search for acoustical consultants vas made. The University entered Into a contract with a consultant with expertise In sound transmission to undertako the necessary studios and recommend a solution. After some delays due to operatfonal malfunctions of the boller, the Initial noise measurements vere made, Theso data aro currently undergoIng computer analysis to identify the oxact frequency and source. ,,~/ . a ' I 1:1 '~I 3 , z ' At th. tlm. that the consultant vas In lova Ctty, the perceived nols. l.v.1 vas luch lower than It had been .t oth.r times, so that the ma.llum .mplltud. could not b. measured. To .vold r.qulrlng the consult.nt to rem.ln In lov. City, . special r.cordlng devlc. v.s suppll.d to the University .nd Is nov b.lng used by Unlv.rslty st.ff to m.asure sound .t loc.tlons Id.ntlfl.d by those who .r. .varo of the sound, Th. recorder will me. sur. the sound vh.n It Is at Its most off.nslv. lev.l, In .ddltlon, the consult.nt lust d.terllno the e.act location on th. .xt.nslon of the stac~ froll which the sound Is .manatlng. It I'y be, for Instanc., that the sound Is c.used by the vlbr.tlon of th. stac~ Its.'f, r.ther th.n .Ir waves flowing through tho stac~, When all data aro coll.cted, th. consultant .ssur.s us that the problem can be solved. The un~novns .re what It viII ta~o to solve the problem and how long It will t.~e to manuf.ctur. th.t solution, The University Is obliged to operate the boll.r vhen It Is mechanically sound so th.t nec.ssary dat. c.n bo .ccumulltod for tho lanufacturer to Improve the boiler to Incr.ase Its .fftclency. In addition, the Unlvtrslty must perform calibration and emission tests required by tho EPA. Although there viII be short times vhen the boiler Is down because of operational difficulties during this "sha~edown" period, It wi 11 be In operation most of the t Imo. The public can help the University In this respect: Those who are currently being disturbed by the nols. should ml~' a one'tlme c.11 to the Physical Plant Service Des~, 335,5075, giving their nlme, address, and telephone number, Identlffcatlon of areas where the sound Is perceived to be In uncomfortable level will assist the consultant In further pfnpolntln~ the nature of the sound emission .nd wtll help lead to . better solution. At this time. tot. I of ten families have Identified Ireas through this process. Vice President Phillips st.tes: liThe University of low. regrets the dlsturb.nce. We vlsh to bo good neighbors, To thlt ond, we are doing all that Is vlthln our power to solve this problem.
