Dear Su~:
I wanted to make a lew quick comments about University RelaUons' recent publication 'extending
Our Reach'. I thought It was a very InteresUng and Inlormallve document. The photographs were
beautllul and II your goal was 10 Indicate diversity among faculty and BdmlnlsltaUon, you've done
your lob. I hope tho University 01 Iowa will acUvely seek out further diversity among laculty, stafl
and the Blooent body.
I was mosl happy to see Included In 'extending Our ReBch', a secUon on Carol Casey and the
Unlverslty.wlde recycling plan. Ironically, this ~ Is prlnled on poper that Is nol recyclllble
In Ihls area and where a recycling process Is accessible, ills very resource extenslvo. I know
many 01 us will keep this booklel as a resourco. Un'ortunate~, others will choose to discard iI
and II will find Its way to the Iowa City landfill.
I hope University RelaUons will consider thB typo of paper (recycled and recyclable) on which II
chooses to prtnlthelr publications, We must all be part 01 the soluUon 10 our garbagB dilemma,

Tho necosslty 01 tho arterial street system ond Its Importanco to tho quality

far the majority 01 travel In the urbonlzod area. this Itond Is Increasing
with the approval 01 proporty developments In ouUylng areas which are
orientod to the automobile. The arterial street system Is a public service
provided lor the benefit 01 the en lire community In the somo way the
library, the sewer p1on~ ond the firo department are communlty.wfde

discourages motorists Irom ootourino through local iiolghborhood s\roots.
this report will addross the negative Impact 01 arterial slteets on older
neighborhoods, spocifically the concerns 01 the Summit Slteet neighbor.
hood, When makfng the dllllcult decision on how to proceed, the City
Council must not lose sight of the significance 01 on elllclent arterial slteel
system. With respoct to Summit Slteet, tho critical Issue Is .hould
SummIt Street be on the .rlDrI.1 .treDt 'Y"Dm?
II the answer Is no, then measures con bo taken to establish Summit Slteet
as a local neighborhood street with low Italflc volumes. Low Iraffic volume
Is a goal lor all neighborhood streets. Bul, lithe onswer Is yos, It Is
Inappropriate 10 subsequenUy consider traHlc control measures to roduce
ltaHlc on Summit SlteeL To do so would negaUvely Impact a community
laclllty for the bonefil 01 a lew,
Within the context 01 these Issues, this report will evaluate existing Italflo
conditions, project the Impact future property development and demographic
chllllgos will have on the community, and oller a series 01 alternatives to deal wllh
projected ltaHlo conditions,

Analysis of Alternative
Street Alignments
Four a1lernatlve streel networks have been developod tor the Summit SlIeetllalflo
study aroa, The lour alternatives are:
A, Replace Summit Slreet Brldgo at Its oxlstlng location,
B, Ellmlnato tho Summit SlIoot Bridge and construct a now railroad
crossing along tho Govornor Stroel.Keokuk Stroet a1lgnmont.
C, Ellmlnato tho Summit SlIeet Bridgo and construct a now railroad
crossing along tho Seventh Avonue.Sycamoro SlIoet alignment.
D. Ellmlnato tho Summll Stroot Bridgo with no now railroad crossing.
Tho construction 01 a now artorial stroot allgnmontln a bullt.up aroa 01 tho city will
reduce disruption In somo neighborhoods whllo Incroaslng disruption In others.
Tho Brlorlal slleot network Is a systom and a solution which Improvos conditions
(I.e. roducos traffic) In one neighborhood will simply add tho lIamo somowhero
olse. Trafflo will continuo 10 seek tho most convenient roulo avallablo through Iho
arlerial stroet system,
The presenlatlon 01 alternative street alignments will summarize the pOSitive and
negative aspocts of each. The 'best' alternative will depend on one's perspective:
depending on whether or not the goal Is to maximize lIalflo function, mlnlmlzo
disruption to existing neighborhoods, reduce lIalflo on Summit Stroet, mlnlmlzo
overBII capltallnvestmenl, or malnlaln consistency with long.range planning goals,
one alternative will be more appropriate than another,
Slte.speclflc lralflo conlrol measures (all-way slops, signalization, ono-way
opGratlon, eto,) aro not evaluated In delall, as they cen bo manipulated with any
01 the alignment alternatives, A particular type 01 lrafflo conllol should nol be a
primary delermlnantln tho selection of a slleel alignment, since II can be easily
changed by future city councils,

Alternative D
Eliminate the Summit Street Bridge
No New Railroad Crossing
This altematlve eliminates lI1e existing Summit Slreel bridge end does not replace It with another
railroad crossing, No access across lI1e railroad Is provided In the 16 blocks between Dodge
Slreet and FIrst Avenue,
,
To maximize street capacity and minimize delay, lI1e tollowlng trafflc control measures should be
evaluated In conjunction wfll1 this altematlve: removal of on.slreet parkfng on Dodge Slreet and
Keokuk Slreet, signalization of lI1e Dodgo/Bowery, DodgelKlrkwood and KeokuklKJrkwood
Intorsectlons; and geometrio Improvements to Keokuk Street soull1 01 Highland Avenue.
PO,I/Ivlllmpact,
This altematlvo minimizes disruption to existing neighborhoods. Traffic would bo reduced
significantly on Summit Street, Utilization of the Dodge Slreet Bridge would Increase, The Dodge
Slreet Bridgo Is presently underutlllzed,
Since Alternative D does not Involve constructing a slructure, It appears to be the lowest capital
expanse of the four aJlematlves, The trafflc conlrol measures to bo evaluated In conjunction with
this allematlve range from virtually no expanse to remove on.slreet parking, 10 approxlmalely
$35,000 to signalize an Intersection, to under $200,000 (estlmale) to reconstruct Keokuk Slreel
south of Highland Avenue. However, Alternative D will hasten lI1e need to widen Flrsl Avenue
between 0 and Bradford Streels, an expanse approximately equal to conslructlng a new Summit
Slreet Bridge,
This altematlve can bo considered a temporary opl/on,
NlIgallvlllmpDcts
This alternative would result In Inefflclentlrafflo flow due to Inadequate arterial slreet spacing
between Dodge Street and First Avenue, It would worsen overcapacity condlllons which alrdady
exist In lI1e In First Avenuo corridor. There would be Increased rellanco on Ihe al-grade railroad
crossing at First Avenue. An accident or dorallment el First AvonuG would croate a sltual/on of
no access across thG railroad botween Scoll Boulevard and Dodge Slreel, a dlslanco of 2,3 miles,
There Is lI1e polentlal for an emergency vehicle access crisis" First Avenue were closed, due to
Fire Slatlon 3 being located south of the railroad, Most of Iowa City easl at Seventh Avenue Is
part of lI1e Fire Slatlon 3 'nrst due area.' "First Avenue were closed, It would cause flro lrucks
to have 10 detour west 10 Dodge Streel or easllo Scoll Boulevard In order to access east Iowa
City north 01 Ihe railroad, The Fire Chler has Indicated this Is unacceptable omergency vehicle
access,

The following questions and comments arc provided as a constructive
opportunity for Brice, Petrides-Donohue Co. to address in greater
detail areas of the solid waste management plan that require more
description and explanation, While we recognize that Status Report
NO, 1 will not answer every question nor provide all the details of
a given waste management alternative, we provide the following
comments and questions to help decision makers and Brice, Petrides-
Donohue Co, define the problem and its solutions.
General Comments on Status Report No, 1.
1) Provides no concise description of the industrial and commercial
waste stream or disposal practices.
2) Provides no concise description of the University of Iowa or the
U of I Hospitals and Clinics waste stream or disposal practices.
3) Provides no concise description of private haulers and the
relative quantity of wastes transported and disposed.
4) Provides no description of the household hazardous waste stream.
Specific questions on alternative management practices,
WASTE VOLUME REDUCTION AT TilE SOURCE:
1) What waste volume reduction programs or ordinances were surveyed?
2) Does composting as principally described in the plan qualify as
a waste reduction strategy?
3) What residential waste reduction strategies were examined?
;
, I
,
RECYCLI NG

MEMORANDUM
Dato: Octobor 25. 1990
To: Clly Council
From: City Managor
Ro: DGcado 01 tho '90s
For somo tlmo I havo boon planning tho ploparatlon 01 a momorandum to you con corning Issuos
01 gonoral community Inlorosl. which could IIkoly bo blought 10 your attontlon ovor tho noxl
docado, As I am suro you can opprodalo, duo to our community's dlvorslty, oach citizen or group
of cltlzons forms opinions and oxpoctatlons 01 tholr local govommonl, Many 01 which can
tronslato Into slgnlllcant financial commltmonts, Thoso oxpoctatlons than noad to bo moasurod
against our rocurrlng commitments to our presont program 01 municipal services. Somo financial
assurance must be In placo so that the basic packago of municipal sorvlcos will remaln ovallable
to our cil/zons,
In the preparation of this memorandum I havo attemptad tG Identity the many Issues likely 10
occur during tho noxl docado, Particular omphllSls Is placod on luluro financial commitments as .
they affoct program Gr project ploposals, Also, II you leoll may havo missed somo Issuos, your
thoughts will bo holplulln adding to or subtracting Irom thoso 1I0ms I havo Idontlfiod In tho
attachmonts. I also did nol dovoto much analysis tlmo tG tho ovor occurring quostlon 01 staff
oxpanslons, unloss It was lolt that somo chango In stalling might bo nocossary.
Establishing somo sonso 01 legacy Is Important to anyone who sorvos In publlo 11I0. Tho oxerclso
olloadershlp In addrosslng tho many and varlad Issuos Identlllod In this momorandum will bo a
difficult task. As your City Manogor, I havo a particular Inlorest not only In tho Issues which will
bo prosented 10 you bul our community's ability 10 financo and lISsuro a continuing rosourco
comniltmonlto tho proposals you find deslrablo, II Is d1l1lculllO havo anything and suslaln II

'I
As a municipal organization, national political and oconomlc pollclos will havo a dramatic elloct
upon tho publlo lunds noodad to support our program 01 municipal servlco, Continuing changes
In slato and laderal policies will have a dlroct ollecl upon Iho rosourcos you havo avallablo to

authority, The Issues and concerns 01 the State and Federal Governments wUl continue to
change over time, many 01 which hove unknown costs and therefora should bo a causa for
significant public concern, For axamplo, awaiting the City Council ore new storm waler
management rogulatlons and policies, Imposition 01 new rogulatlons allectlng our walar treatment
process, and additional sewage treatment cbllgatlons, One change we know oIls by the year
2000 now ammonia standards must bo met with respect to our sewage treatment. The current
dollar estimate lor that proJect Is over $12 million and with estlmatod Inllatlon by Ihe year 2000
to fulfill that same mandata 0 $20 million prlca lag may be necessary. To Ihe best 01 my
knowledge Slale or lederal lunds ore not available to lulfill this partiCUlar rogulatlon, How much
the stormwaler management and/or water treatment cost will be Is unknown,
There are many other Issues pondlng such as continued acquisition 01 land and/or easements
around our airport, although loderallUndlng may continua to be available, Major highway system
Improvements will roqulre slgnmcanllocal commitment although the slale has generally been
helplulto us In fulfilling the transportation goals 01 the state as they allect Iowa City. Wa can only
hopo that such lundlng will ramaln In thil futuro,
My concern Is how bostto address our local community agenda, as wa see II, and not tho
agenda Imposod upon us. The eslabllshment 01 prlorlUes as well as the neod 10 devole time and
energy to fulfill this agenda will bo a slgnlllcant challange for the futuro, particularly II wo hopo to
achlevo not only what wo aro obligated to do, but would like to do. Whllo many 01 tho Issues,
which Ildontlty In detail laler on, are likely to havo significant community support, I bOllovo I havo
an obligation to paint a realistic financial plclure. This Is to allow you to assoss both tho flnancfal
and tho political quostlons which will arlso as citizens seek your support for their partIcular project,
program or policy,
Attached Is a detail 01 the programs, pro/ects, and policies that I expoct at soma time In the next
decade you will bo askod to consider. These Issues will need your scrutiny early on II we would
ever hope to have the financing to achlevo any 01 these proposals, Each carries with It the need
to plan for Its Inlllatlon Into a forum for public consideration and will most certainly havo a
profound Impact on our financial capability. As you review theso Issues, I would hope 10 secure
somo understanding 01 the priority you place on each.
As you think aboullhese Issues, Ihore are other local governmenls which will bo sO eking publiC
support lor their programs from a limited local property tax dollar, such as Ihe Inlereslln middle
schools and other oducatlonal needs which may requlra slgnlflcantlong.lerm deblflnanclng with
voter approval. Some understanding 01 tho public's willingness to pay and tho limits ollho
property tax syslem 01 IInanclng local govemment, will requlro discussions and Information
exchangos with theso other governments, This Is 10 assure tho publlo has a complelo and
thorough picture of tho financial obligations which they may choose to undertake,
Belore you can review the City Government's financial picture, there are certain pOliCies that ore
In place which ellect eur property tax polleles, By way 01 tradlllon or lormal policy
pronouncements Ihese fiscal policies have boGn tho guiding forces In determining
recommendations 10 you for budget proposals and influence the day 10 day operations of the City
Government. in addition I have allached the general goal statement I provided a lew years ago
which I believe summarizes the overall operational policy of Ihe City, Related fiscal polices are:
l. We are currently at our Slale.lmposed property tax maximum ($8,10 per $1000) for
general government purposes, We are allowed to levy, unlimited amounts, for the pension
and olher benefits for our employees,
J.()II
o ',1 I '~/'~I ,cl

2. Wo aro altho maximum lax 11m II (.54 por $1000) for transit sorvlcos. For oxamplo, Ihat
limit gonoralos $647,000 and our gonorallovy (a portion 01 tho $8,10) gonoralos $420,000
In FY9110r transIt oporatlonal subsklios,
3. You havo avallablo slgnIRcanltax aulhorily with rospoc1lo dobt sorvlco. Our curront
allowablo dobtllmlt Is $60.4 million. Our current gonoral obligation dobt Is $16,4 million,
I encourago you to oxerclso tho oxpanslon 01 dobt vory cautiously not only due to tho
unploasantrlos assoclatod with proporty tax Incroases, but also we want to mako sura that
our Aaa bond raUng Is proserved, It can moan significant savings In long lorm financing
10 maintain a bond rating 01 tho slaturo wo currenlly enloy.
4, Our debt sorvlco Is currontly 210/0 01 our allowable dobl. which I bollovo Is an acceptable
position. Our policy has boen that dobt servlco charges Irom Ihe general tax levy will not
oxcoed 250/0 01 tho tax levy. We oro currenUy at 190/0. Ploase keep In mind that the
budget policy as It alfects operaUons and dobt sorvlca can bo dramatically altorod by a
stato or lodoral policy (lr a pYbl1c rolorondum concerning a particular expenditure and
thoroby aflocttho Inllationarylbudgot managomont policy.
5. Foos and chargos will nood to bo continually bo updatod to moot tho Inflationary and/or
program changos that occur, 01 primary Inlorest to you would bo rocroatlon and
dovolopmont rolatod loos,
6. The most obvious loe and chargo that will bo 01 concom to our community will be the cost
lor waler and sewor sorvlcos. We are requlrod, and thore Is .no evldonco that It will
chango, 10 meot many state and lodoral standards with rospoctto tho operations 01 our
water and sower systom, A storm walor management lee Is likely to bo nocossary at
some time In the luturo as we are obllgalod to moetthoso now standards and policies,
The GenoraJ Fund simply cannot boar tho burdon 01 that exponse. Currently slorm water
Issuos aro financed through the genoraJlevy and/or dobt sorvlce levy. I anticipate It will
be difficult to conUnue to lInance stormwater managoment programs through the general
levy without planning for roductlon In other sorvlcos currenUy financed by the gonerallovy.
Similar Incroasos In landllll and roluso collocUon leos will occur as more now stato and
fodoral rogulatlons are appllod,
7. Our budget policy has boon to koop our expondlturos within our threo year plan at or noar
tho ralo 01 Inllatlon. I bollovo this to bo a genorally acceptablo princlplo and allows us to
bargain openly and offoctlvoly with our omployoos, tho largest portion 01 our budgol,
Idonllfy our exponsos lor goods and sorvlcos which we purchase, primarily from tho
privato malkot and pay thoso private market ratos, and stili maintain our vory baslo servlco
lovols, Our budgot policy also Involvos a.lhroo.year budgot plan and wo have boon ablo
10 proposo spending plans ovor that poriod which moot our tax policy goals, Chang os In
State law do have a prolound alfect upon tho planning and tax estlmalos, Rocontly. tho
stalo law was changod lor Pollco and Fire ponslons, a law epprovod J!!l2! you adoplod
the budgol, and will requlro groalor contributions from tho goneral and/or ponslon lovy,
Iheroby roqulrlng amendmonts to our projocUons, Thoso typos 01 changes are IIkoly 10
continuo,
8, Wo currontly havo, allhough marginal, somo budgot floxlblllly built Inlo Ihe usa 01 rosorvos
and allows us to addross Issuos quickly, Our rocont housing Inltlatlvo on First Avonuo
bolng IInancod with our rosorvo position Is an oxamplo ollho budgot floxlblllty I bollovo
you doslro, My concorn Is II will dopond upon your long torm Inlorosls and how our

reserve Is to bo managed as to whether we can continue to lulfill such Initiatives, as well
as meel our cash needs Ie oporafe the day.lo-day actlvltfes of the City government.
Our community has rBlsed many now pollcles, programs and other Inlllatlves which have various
dogrees 01 community InteresL As I have Indlcated many 01 these will bo al somo ftnanclal risk
due to our IImltod local resources and our roqulrementto lulftll stalo and fodoral policies as a
priority. I bollovo time noeds 10 bo dovolod 10 plan for and antlclpalo to the bosl of our ability a
community agenda. Ills a very dllftcult political quostlon for you 10 try to answer each and every
group's desires. Surely a group will attempt to proceed more vigorously than another In
anticipation of getting In bofore the other guy and thorofore we may ftnd programs and policies
being set asldo simply because the timing Is Inappropriato and/or the publlo's willingness to
ftnance and support such programs Is wenk, at least lor the moment. Your review and
establishment 01 priorities has the effecI of bolng your political agenda. ttls my deslro to do my
best to assure the admlnlstratlvo agenda Is In syno with your political thinking and community
Inlerests.
There will bo changes In dlrection over the nexl ten years. The City Council faces two
comprehensive plan reviews as well as ftve clty council elections during the next decade. I wish
to bo able 10 establish some sense 01 direction with respect 10 these projects knowing lull well
that we will have 10 adjust as best we can to meet changes, II we are to have any hope of
financlng these many proposals, both those mandated and those doslred, financial planning
needs to bogln immediately.

PROJECI'S AND PROGRAMS FOR THE 90's
· Community Development Block Grnnt Program - $500,000+/- Annually
There Is every Indlrotlon lh.1t the (edeml government m.1y eventlLllly ellmln.1te this
program. Ho\V the City \Vould respond to such clrcunulances mU5t be evaluated.
Currently, approxlm.1tely $300,000 (rom COOC 15 annually approprl.1ted (or hOU5lng

rem.1lnlng funds arc distributed !wed upon a community revle\V and application

and Is no\V dl'Cllned to SSOO,OOO (or this CIIrrent lIscal year. this program \VIII need to
be fin.1nced (rom general revenues I( It\Vere to be eliminated by the (ederal government
and continued by the City,
· Public Snfety Communlcnllon Sj'Stcm . $2 mllllon+
While the 8.911 system \VIII Improve the ability to respond to our citizens' public sa(ety
and emergency response needs, our currenl communication system 15 tl'Chnlcally
InadeqlLlte and In need o( replacement. It 15 anticipated at the conclusion o( the
communications study, rl'Commendatlons \VIII be presented to the City Councll, With
computer upgmdes and ne\V communlrotlon equipment, the esllm.1lcd cost \VIII be $2
million. Of'l!mllonal exf'l!nses \VIII also Increoue to provide Improved stamng based upon
earlier recommendations, These (unds \VIII need to be financed (rom the Ceneral Fund
and Debt Service Fund,

With a final closeout (approxlm.1tely SO lICres rem.1ln), o( the BOllndustrial Park, the
policy of public Involvement In the wcmbllng of ne\V IndU5trl.1lland must be evaluated,
ThIJ may Involve slgnlfiront public Investment and a long.tenn commitment for
development and nwkcllng, These expelUes \Vould be fin.1nced by the Ceneral Fund,
t Human Service Agencies (8 agencies) - $250,000+/- Annually

These progranu constantly struggle (or financial support 10 conllnue their very exlJtence,
While our community h.u been generoU5 In supporllng many progranu, It 15 Inevitably
never enough. The City govtrnment provides approximately $160,000 In geneml fund
support and $90,000 (rom the COBC progmm. Annually, requests (ar exceed available
resources. Some perm.1nent financial support system should be designed to provide
some degree o( pcnnanence to these progranu and allo\V a greater measure o( effort In
the (onn o( service delivery as \Veil as p05.1lble coordination o( services, clients and other
(actors \Vlth other such socL,1 support agencies, The stnlggle (or (undlng appears, In my
Judgment, to detmct significantly (rom the ml5.1lon o( each agency, Such an Inlllallve
\Vould be funded by the Ceneral Fund lithe City \Vould choose to have greater financial
Involvement,

· Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund. $150,000 Annually
At one lime the cre~lIon of an economic development revolving 1000n lund WM under
consideration. The b~sfc clements of the program h.1ve been prep.1red and meellngs held
with the area b.1nks In order to dl5cuss the possible leveraging of these monies for
economic development projects. With the b.1nkruplcy of the Holiday Inn the monies
from the UDAG rep.1yment were ellmlroted M the source of funds. With the likelihood
of the b.1nkruptcy conllnulng (or some lime the funding h.1s been plolced on hold. II we
were to pursue such a policy, wllh the knowledge th.1t no UDAG monies mlghl be
available, a General Fund commllment would be necess.1ry,
· Scheduled Replacement of Fire Equipment and Vehicles . 5175,000
Annually
The Fire Dep.1rlment h.u Implemented a ploln to upgrade and replace equipment and
vehicles at regul~r Intervals. In addlllon to replolclng smaller pieces of equipment such
as protC\;lIv~ gear, Sell Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCIJA), lire hosli, nozzles, and
medical equipment, Ihls ploln Includes the allocallon o( lunds to a vehicle replolcement
account that allows us to b~nk (unds (or the purch.1se o( fire apparatus,
· Fire Stations. $1,000,000+/.
The Fire D.!partment operates (rom three stallons. D.!velopmentln the western and
northern p.1rts of the City are stretching our ability 10 provide equllable service 10 Ihe
citizens. We may wish 10 consider relocallng the exlsllng J.1telllle (oullylng) fire st~lIons
or adding new So1lelllte stallons, A Sludy will need to be Inltlolted 10 IdenlUy Ihe best
slles (or slallon locallons to INlnt~ln acceptable response limes while minimizing Ihe
number o( stallons, equipment and personnel necess.1ry to provide adequale service,
A slallon relOCllllon study costs $30.000 10 $35.000, Conslrucllon, equipment, and
personnel costs will vary depending on needs Idenllfied In Ihe Sludy, FIre slallons cosl
approximately $300,000 to $SOO.ooo 10 build, around 5250,000 to equip, and approxlll\1lc-
Iy $SOO,OOO annually to IlUIlnlaln and slaH, Relocallon ts less expensive than adding new
stallons because o( equipment and personnel J.1vlngs,

· Fire Training Facilities. $700,000+/.
As the low~ City Fire Dep.1rtmenl provides a wider range o( services and as public
educallon and code enforcement reduce non. medical emergencies, our training
requirements actually IncreMe, BCCecllve training exposes emergency personnel 10 a wide
range o( slmulolled slluallons, which may nol be seen everyday but require skilled
responses when encounlered, Use o( such a (aclllly, as well as shared expenses may be
considered by other area fire dep.1rtments, This expense would require general revenue
or debl fironclng,

· ParkIng Ramps. $2 mllllon+
The plannlng (or construction o( two new pMklng (adJJlles In the downtown area Is
undenvay, The lwo ramps under consideration are directly across (rom the Civic Center
and behind the Rl.'CI'eallon Center, Wllh the ClJrrent policy o( no lax subsidy, we ,viII
likely be approaching the finandal capaclly o( the parking (und wllh respect to Its ablllly
10 finance such Qpllal projects, Subsidies could be a General Fund expense I( rate
adjustments arc (ound 10 be unacceptable.
· South of Burlington Policy. Cost Unknown
Development policy recommendallons are being prepared (or Ihe area south o(
Burlington. A5 you know, there arc a variety o( opinions with respect to how the area
should develop and In particular the role o( the City government In encouraging/causing
development 10 occur. Parklng Is o( a primary conCem and there(ore when considering
development proposals, the Inllfatlon o( a parklng policy, possibly involving CAplbl costs
being (rontEd by the Clly, will be an Important element o( your deliberation, Additional
spl.'Claltaxlng mechanisms may need 10 be considered,
· Water Quality Standards. Total Cost Unknown
Currenlly undenvay Is a comprehensive study o( our woter system. This Is done In
antldpatlon o( Ihe new drinklJ1g waler standards whIch will be applicable lIS a polrt o(
new (ederal regulations. Additionally, other water supply options are being explored to
supplement our current water source, the Iowa RIver, A new Jordan well would cost
$500,000+. The comprehensive study will hopefully outline a policy to allow us to not
only fulfill our obligations under the new (ederal regulations, bul also meet the supply
needs o( our communlly. These costs arc financed by water uSC!r charges,
· Sanitary Sewer SeJVlce . $12.20 mlllion+
il . I
It Is virtually Impossible to predict the financl.1llmpact o( any new and/or addlllonal
state or (ederal regulations concemlng sanllary Sewer construction and treatment, The
ammonia standard regulation, which must be In place by the year 2000, may cost $20
million, The other regulatory costs arc simply unknown. These costs arc financed by
Sewer uSC!r charges,
· Arls Center. $10 mlllion+
A5 you know, there Is communlly Interest In the pOssible development o( a cultural/arts
center. The preliminary sketches have been prepared by a local clllzen group and
representatives o( the Chamber o( Commerce, the arts communlly, and other consllluent
Interest groups are reviewing (his project (or lis (uture consideration, The downtown
urban renewal parcel Is the slle receiving the most Interest, Incorporaled Into Ihe
planning process Is a desire to (u lfi II the requirements o( the m.1ny art and cultuml
groups that are seeklng a perm.1nent home, The cost o( such a (aclllty can be significant
and (he operating costs would also require a substantial public commllment. The Clly
government, I( It Were to SC!rve as the agent to pursue such 0 project, would require 0
commltmenl (rom Its debt service and general operating (unds. Also being considered
as on clement Is Ihe Incorporation o( a conventlon/con(erence center, The capllal costs
would require debt financing,

· Library. Cost Unknown
The Ubrary Bo.1rd h.u (armed a commlllce 10 revIew opUons avall.1ble to Ihem with
respeclto either expansion o( Ihe library or construction 01 a branch laclllty, The costs
are unknown with respect 10 this wue; however, It would require a Ceneral Fund
expenditure and debt service.
· Transit Capital Replacement. $2,6 million + /. (13 buses)
You may recalllrom earlier budget dlscwslons we had recommended seltlng aside
monies (or Ihe anticipated capital replacement lor a number 01 our buses. In the IIscaI
year 94 and FY96 we have a number 01 bu5CS which will be due lor replacement and a
significant capital commitment IvllI be necessary on the part 01 the City govemment,
Current Federal policy provides an 80 percent sharing In the cost 01 this equipment.
While lhe Federal government seeks to underlake their own budget balancing, I cannot

Housos . I rOlllly wish I would have had tlmo tho othor night 10 talk about tho so. Buill, I
am told by savoral sourcos, during the dopresslon, by Mr. Moffill, who hlrod pooplo WhO
hlld no lobs, to build housos for thoso with nowhere to IIvo, using matorillls that were free,
dlsCllrdOd, recycled, salvaged, handy, avllllablo, etc. These are the unique slone (for the
most part) houses around Highland Avenue, Ginter, PIckard, Yewell, Friendly Streot,
Ridge Street 3 In a row are at Muscetlne and Court. ('Low.malntenance' during the
depression meanl_ today It moans vln'd siding. No wonder we're In trouble.)
8. Sure It's necessnry to spray lor termltos at somo locations In Iowa City, bulln tlllklng to
somo tormlto.spray companies, Ilound that no 1II1 areas of town have a problem with
thom. Sycamoro Vlow, tho building Inspoctor sllld, will bo sprayed, but doos It nood It?
the companlos said that many tlmos thoy aro spraying sololy for archltocts and Inspoclors.

MEMORANDUM

To: JCCOG
duJ/tV'-
From: Suslln M. Horowitz
Ro: Updato on Solid WlISto Tochnlclll Advisory Commlttoo 01 ECICOG
On WodnosdllY, Octobor 17, this Commlttoo mot with II soomlngly slmplo agonda 01 throo Itoms.
Ono 01 thoso WllS tho draltllsl 01 acUvIUos lor a quartorty roport sUbmlttod by tho ECICOG
Rilillonill Solid WiI3lil PlilIlnlng Coordinator, Uz ChrtsUansan, \';l1lch I hav-a attacl1&d. Many 01
thoso Itoms thon stlmulatod discussions and tho soomlngly slmplo agondll ovolvod Into ono 01
challonglng Issuos I fool might bo ollntorostto all of you.
1. Thoro Is an IncrollSlng InformaUon tlmo lapse lactor In tho roglon that rollocts what's
happonlng In tho stato and tho nation. By tho Umo wo hoar 01 a succoss story, tho
situation hllS changed many Umes drametlcally lor tho worso. Or, tho longthy IDllaJ and
rDllulatory and capltallnvostrnent proparaUon for a lIedgllng Induslly Is novor adoquatoly
oxplalnod In tho media. Consequontly, othor Industrlos or the financial communlly has no
grllSp on tho roallly ollnvostrnont costs to dupllcnto or modify a similar buslnoss or to
ovaluato Its domlso.
2. Roglonallnlor/urlsdlctlonal dopondoncy Is sUII not understood. For oxamplo, tho RosoBar
tire procosslng faclllly In Vinton collocts Ures from not only Johnson Counly, but 39 other
countios In Iowa. Thoy roprocoss tlros Inlo playground oqulpmont and luol pollots. Ovor
18 months ago Ihoy began tho rDllulalory trail to procoss tho tlros, Now tho Unlvorslly of
Iowa hilS finally appllod lor a DNR pormlt 10 bum thom. Tho pormlt doponds on tho
outcomo 01 DNR's modollng projoctlon on volumos to bo burned and air quallly standards
to bo malntalnod. Moanwhllo, tho tlro plio In Vinton Is Incroaslng IInd Vlnlon's locally
oloctod olllclal are tackling tho Iro 01 cltlzons concnmed with the volumos 01 Uros
Impacting tholr clly. Vinton's banks Invostod In RosoBlIr lor capital Stllrt.Up costs, but Iho
long thy procoss 01 pormlttlng hilS sovoroly stralnod tho stablllly 01 lInancllll support. How
many banks In tho othor IIvo countlos aro ovon awaro of Ihls situation and could rospond
10 lISslsl knowing that tho succoss ollhls compllny will posltlvoly aHoct tholr own counly?
How many 01 our loglslalors hllvo coaloscod with Ihoso Irom Bonlon Counly to assist
DNR's nnancllll ablllly to havo sulllclonl slalllor handling tho RosoBars 01 tho stato In a
qulckor mannor?
3. II tho Unlvorslly 01 Iowa rocolvos a pormlt 10 burn tho procossod Uros, how clln ECICOG
ontltlos assist tho Unlvorslly In Incrollslng publlo awaronoss lIboutlho ovorall onvlronmon.
lallmpacl and avoid confrontations such as havo rocontly happonod 01 tho Unlvorslty?
The Unlvorslly Is essontlally acting as a gulnoa pig for an Induslly thai could holp us
grolltly roduce our landfill volume.

4. Tho oconomlo dovolopmonts thrusts throughoultho region appollt 10 bo unawllto 01 tho
potential 'rom solid wasto managoment o"orts. Thoro Is monoy 10 be mado horo, but not
only must any now InduslrfaJ wastos bo onalyzod and accountod lor In our waslo stroam
volumos, any now Induslty that saoks to utlllzo wasto lor olthor roprocosslng or roductlon
musl got a DNR pormltto do so and 10 do that thoy musl oxplaln how thoy dovotall with
'our' approvod comprohonslvo plan.
This Commlttoo romalns a vllal part 01 solid wasto managomont planning. As It and tho subJoct
01 garbago maturos(Q, tho composlUon 01 the Commlttoe will undoubtodly chango. ECICOO and
JCCOG starts aro onthuslastlcally asslsttng communlUes In plnnnlng tor solid wasto mnnagomont.
The biggest challongo romalns that 01 convincing cltlzons 01 tho 'oconomlos 01 scalo' factor In
doallng wllh their waslos and, ultimately, with their pockotbook.
I would IIko to request the JCCOG Solid Wasle Plannor consldor sarno typo of Informational
lorum for Intoroslod banks, Industrlos, eto. 10 discuss thoso typos or !MyOS. I bllUeve the greater
Involvemenl 01 our buslnossos and Industrlos can be of tromondous asslstnnco to our region.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 25, 1990

FROM: Lindo Nowman Gentry, City Attorne
RE: Alley botwoon Govornor and N. Dodgol

,".,., ,,,,21zi ". "
Attachod is the chronology regarding tho above mattor, as agrood.
Rick Fosse, City Engineer and I toured the aroa Thursday, October
25, 1990 and tQ~nd no concrete on private property othor than on
property for which the ownors hod already given pormission. Thero
was no concroto, so for as wo could seo, on Hrs. Wi tzke' s proporty.
Wo did notico, howovor that cortain erosion control moasuros hod
not boen token on tho filled-in portion, which could be resolvod
by gross soeding. Also, tho steal rods should be romovod from the
f 11 aroa.
There is no doubt this is on untortunato noighborhood disputo.
lIaving checked both tho grading and solid waste ordinances, tho
concrote 'fill on property whose ownors gavo pormission doos not
constitute unlawful littoring, dumping or filling.
Nonetheless, Rick and I will continuo to monitor tho motter, and
will koep you informod.

Dear Mrs. Zeithamoll
As per your request, enolosod is a copy of the letter sent to the
Noels. As I stated in our telephone conversation of November 23,
1987, the City's current concern is that drivers receive warning I
through barricados, that the alley is closed. We are still
working to achieve this.
Thank you for your concern and attention.

RE: A.phalt Grlndlngs
The Iowa Department of Trenspor.tatlon completed an asphalt resur(aclng
project along Interstate 80 this (011. The project Included milling off
a portion o( the existing asphalt surface and applying a new asphalt
overlay.
Iowa City was notified by the Statels contractor on Friday, October 12
that +1- 1500 tons o( waste asphalt millings were available at $5.00/ton
If the City was Interested. The City was Indeed Interested and decided
to surface several alleys with the millings. On Monday, October 15
Street Division crews began grading unpaved (gravel) elleys In northeast
Iowa City, City crews spent the next four daya grading and placing on
the average, a 3-lnch thick and 12-foot wide layer of asphalt millings
on the alleys. The asphalt millings were then cold rolled end compacted
using both steel and rubber tire rollers. Tbls was an experimental
project and It Is anticipated that the roiling and compaction effort
will ba sufficient to keep the asphalt from breaking apart.
\
The total cost of the asphalt millings dallvered to the work site was
$111,370.85 or $9.07 per ton. Eighteen alleys were surfaced (7338 lineal
feetl using a total of 1168 tons of asphalt millings. Four hundred
seventeen tons of millings were stockpiled at the landfill to resurface
the landfill road. For comperatlve purposes, new hot-mix asphalt (same
material) salls for $28.50 per ton plus dalivery cost.
Alleys surfaced with llsphalt millings Include:
Alley from Clapp to Parsons between Holtz and Rochester
Alley from Dodge to Reno betwean Bloomington and Davenport
Alley from Dodge to Reno between Fairchild and Davenport
Alley from Dodge to Reno between Fairchild and Church
Alley from Lucas to Governor between Church and Ronalds
Alley from Oakland Cemetery to Reno between Church and Ronalds
Alley from Dodge to Governor between Ronalds and Brown

Petitioner
vs.
Rospondent, City of Iowa City ("CitY"I, respectfully requests
the Board to dismiss petitioner's petition for Deolaratory Ruling
dated October 15, 1990, and assorts in support thereof the
following I
1. Any ruling on petitioner's question would necessitate an
interpretation of the parties' Collective Bargaining Agreoment to
determine whother the service of written notico to tho City was
roquired to bo received by the City prior to September 15, 1990.
Tho interpretation of tho parties' contractual language doos not
involve any statutory interprotation upon which declaratory
judgments are to be founded.
2. Thore are factual issuos in dispute, specifically whether
tho City has refusod to nogotiato. Declaratory judgmont is not
appropriate to resolve factual disputes.
3. Thore is presently pending before tho Board a Prohibited
Practice Complaint fUed by petitioner which would provido the
parties and the Boord on opportunity to address the factual issuos
raised in the Declaratory Judgmont petition, and it is therefore
the more appropriate forum in which to resolve factual disputes.
