Dear SIrt
We have Uved In Iowa City (or three )'Wa. and (or three )'em I have
been worrying about a hazardous problem. I should have YITIUen
sooner. but I hope that you will consider doing aomethlng aboul this:
There are many InteraecUona In thJa city wbere there are neither stop
or YIeld signs at the comm (or either streel. We have UYed In DIne
dUJ'erenl communJUes through the years. and have never before
encountered this problem. When I approach an InteraecUon. It there
Is no Slop or yfeld sign for me. I have always asswned the cross street
has one, 1 (ound out after having been nearly hit a couple o( Urnes that
In Iowa City that Is nol necessarily the case.
I have worked (or two years at the PreucU School of Music, which haa
430 students, most o( them quite small. Behind that Is the HOnlce
Mann Elementary School. In that enUre area o( town, there are many
streets With no stop or yield signs. What a potenUaJJy dangerous
sltuaUonl The IntersccUon I nearly got hit recenUy was Uie comer of
FaJrchUd and VanBuren. an area that Is highly traveled by &Cbool
chUdren and cars despite the (act that It Is brick. At that poInt
FaJrchJld Is nearly to North Market Square, a Playground used by
neighborhood chUdren and by the preschool at PreucU. Another place
I have been almost hit was In the area east o( Oovemnor and north o(
BlOOmington next to another city playground not (ar (rom Hickory HW.
There are many wise ways 10 save money, but omJtUng street signs at
comers Is not one o( them. Please consider placing sTgna on every
comer In town. O( course, a stof or yfeld sIgn does not gwuuntee that
a driver wUllllop or yfeld. but 11 bet these signa are obeyed over 00%
of the lime.
, It Is a good thing 10 be a carerul. defensive drfvel'llt Is a bad thing 10
be turned Into a frightened driver who Is never sure which crossroads
have sIgns teUlng other drivers to stop or yfeld.
Sincerely,
~~~c(

To rOltrlct trarrlc on Summit Stroot would undoubtodly
Incresso the value or the propertlos or tho anolntod living on

Incroalo tratric on Oovernor vhlch alroady excoedl that on Summit.
Eliminstlng 9 properties on Oovernor would loso tho city tholo
proporty taxol snd lose tho exlltlng pilings ate. on tho SUmmit
Stroot Bridgo that vlll lovor the cost or s rebuild, al oppolod
to S brsnd now brldgo on Oovornor St,
AI It exlltl, the trsrric going South to tho Ihopping contor

load goo I down Summit and Dodgo and ontor Kookuk rrom tho Esst snd

Tho only pOlslblO improvomont,ln my mind vould bo a trarric light

In short, it vould sppoar that tho property-vsluo intoroatl

President Hunter R. Rawlings III
The University of Iowa
101 Jessup Hall
Iowa City. Iowa 52242
Dear President Rawlings:
Today Is my IaSI day as Fire Chlefln Iowa City. I have resigned to lake the Job of Chief In
Boulder. Colorado. During my tenure here I have had the plcasure of working with several
dedicated University offitlals in an eITort to Improve fire 13fety on campus. While we have made
progress In many areas, IIe:lve Iowa City deeply concerned lIIioutthe existing fire risk at the
University of Iowa. ,
Fire and life safelY codes el'oll'e over lime. In many Inslal1ccs.lhey ~ changed to corrcct
deficiencies found through biller exJlCrience. As a resull, mosl buildings built to meet existing
minimum stan~ds 20, 30, 40, or 50 years ago arc not as safe as buildings being designed and
buill today, This fael can be altered by taking advantage 01 e.lsting knowledge and teehnolosy
which haS proven effccllve In Increasing safety and reducing risk.
My concern Involves the lack of sarety In University residence halls and academic buildings.
People tend to underestimate fire risk and overesllmate our ability 10 control fire, Even though lhe
buildings In question mctthe e.lstlng codes at the lime they were bull~ the fire risk crcated by
these buildings far exceeds Arc o.:partment capabilities. ^ brier analysis rollows:
~

. High numbers or raise alanns In residence halls reduce the credibility or alarm systems.
Students tend to dismiss any alarm u "Just another raIse alann" Invcstigatlons or ralal
residence hall fires by lhe United Slates Are Admlnlstrallon Indicate that firefighters. campus
officials, and students letlhelr guard down In residence halls becaUlC or the high rrequencyor
pranks and raIse alarms. The University or Iowa residence hall system e.pcrlences over 400
raise alarms pcr year, .
. Students living In unprotected residence hall~ cannot control the risk crc:llcd by olhers living In
Ihe building, and lhey Ignore allempls to warn them or possible d.108cr. One carelelS acl by a
neighbor h." Ihe polenllallo claim Innocenl victims throughoulthe rcsldence hall.

, The sile, (uello.lCling, and wide open connSUliltion of many bullllings on campus virtually
suarantee fulUrc fl/1l Iliwtm. The complacent sniludc of profeslOrs and studcnts alike only
compounds the problem.
I In many cases, ufety violations are allowed to continue for convenience's salce. For examplc,
the Chcimbtry.lloI.viy building stllllw fiammable liquids stored In exll paths desplle repealed
warnings from our dCpastmenl and the Slate FIre MaiWJ's Office.
I lItJe the Unlvenlly to develop Ilong.tenn plan to Improve lire ufely on campus Includinsthe
InstaJlaUon of lutomatic lire sPrinkler systems (or the rilajor buildings on campus, especially the
residence halls. FIre alarm systems alone do not address ufety concerns on campus. FIre alarm
sYltems have too Iiule credibllily to be etrectlve-tlarms are ignored by facullY, staff, and students
alike. The Iowa Oly FIre Dep,uiment, while one of the best In the SlalC, lacks the extensive
ICIOUI'CCS neceswy to effectively cornball major fll'C In the Jarse unprotected bulldlns on campus.
For a1moslthe same price u ~ling, $.90 to $ 1.50 per square fOOl, fll'C sprinklers can be
rclrofiued Into a bulldins. ThIs COlt, whllc IUI, is stlllless expensive than IlligaUon which always
results from I nre Involvlns I dc.1th or Inj~. For ~ampJe, all non.sprinklercd residence halls on
Qmpus can be retront whh sprinklers (or between 51.4 rilllIlon and 52J million. Damage awards
for I single falaJlIy In I rcsl_ hall nre can renJlstially be expected to equal or exceed the cost of
prolcctlria the cnlirc residence hall system with fll'C sprinklers.
As I discuss my concerns with nrc chle(s and lire prol<<llon enslneers across the country, Ills
apparent thal many govcmmenlallScnclcs arc aJreoady movlnsto rMlCO their lire risk. Throuah an
leI of ConalCSS, the fedcralsovemmcnt now requires its employees to Slay in sprinklered hOlels or
sprlnklcred motels while traveling on business. We know thC problcm anil wc have the solution. I
slrona1y recommend the phasing In of fue sprinkler systems In all major Universlly buildings.
Thank you for your Ume and COIIllderation.

age swlnrner tralnlno 10 hours per week, In addition to the monthly fees
parents also pay 125 per y~ar to United Statea SIIlmmlng, which covera
Insurance and other b.neflts, and an average of 120.130/month In swim meet
.ntrles paid to other clubs to attend meets around Ihe state, \Ie off.r
SCholarships to lOll Income families to make It possible for more swimmers to
partlclpale In this sport.
How Is pUblic acms IIml ted by SwIm Club pool use? Smull our swimmers
compete at 50 meter distances for summer meets, It Is necesaary for them to
train at thla distance. \/hen the Hercer Park pool Is set up for 50 meler
trainIng, thm la a small section left at the shallow end of the pool. This
arrangement Is only used during the summer at 6130-8.30 In the morning. The
pool Is generallY open at this time only to lap swimmers, who hm been very
vocal In their dlepleasure at being excluded from ualng the pool, Although
the rec center pool Is available, I can certalnJy understand how peoplo who
are In the habit of ualng the Hercer Park facility all year IIOUld be unhappy
with the pool being closed to their uae during this sullllltr p.rlod. It lias not
~eauest to hay, th, 0001 closed to laD 1IIIlmmers. Indeed, the lap swlmm.rs
average about flv. per day at any given time and could eaally share the
facility IIlth our program, The ~Im Club would be happy to reaerve one or two
lanes at the 60 meter distance for lap IIIlmmers, or they might prefer to swim
the width of the pool at the shallow end IIhlch Is more similar to th.lr usual
lap length. Our IlIIllIIlIers use this aectlon to cool dOllll alter races during
meets and It functions well for at lent 'ten III I lIIlIers at a time, ' During the
rest of the year lie train at a 25 yard distance, using the deep end of the
pool. this luvea 213 of the pool open to the general pUblic. On a typical
night bet~een 6130.B130 p.m when the SWim Club Is training there are either 10
to 30 other melllbers of the public using the faCility or city swim leasons
which typically require the shallow .nd of the pool. Although there are tlmas
IIhen our needs ov.rlap, as IIhen lifeguard training requires use of a fell lanes

HOII aoes thr 10111 City S1111t Club hrlp to mrrt tn. recrutlonll nrras of thr
chllllnn In this city? Whllr JOlla City hIS I IIrll-aevtlopra Rrd Crosl
811llmllng program \/hlch trains III Irvrls 01 DIIlmrn, the focus Is on lIalle
811llmllng and safety training ana don not drvrlop all 100Jr stro~es usrd In
cClr4lttetlve DIIllII1Ilng, Th.se are the eame stro~n necmary for high school
811llmllng and for the nrll Junior hlOh DIIlm teams, To be cCXllprtetlvr at th.
high school level In the etate, a II/llllllrr nuds to hOYt had yme 01 training
In Itroke technique and competetlve Itarte and turns that Is only available
thrOUgh a United Stales 9.lllII1Ilng club like the 1000a City &JIm CIUII, Indeed.
Coralville hll responded to this need by sponsoring and SUbsidizing their 0IItl
Unll.d Stites &JllII1Ilng club for \/hlch they hm hired a coaching staff and
provided pool epace. The &JIm Club aleo provlaes a goal-orlentea,
dleclpllned. healthy, and fun activity for our youngsltrl to occupy their free
time In a lIay that can extend thrOUghout their lives. this serms to be the
very definition of a 000d recreational program,
HOI/ does the 1000a City S11lm Club benefl t 1000a City? By host Ing an averag. of
four meets each year, the 10110 City S11lm ClUb brlnos a great deal of mon.y
Into this city. Each meet brings In 300-500 DIII/Ilntrs from other tOllnsllho
stay In hotele. eat In our restaurants. shop at our malls. and generally Ipend
their IIlOney here In our City. In 1989 lie hosted a cha,or.plonDhlp lIleet that
brought II/llllllen from 7 dl fferent states to 1000a City for four days, 1000a
&.IllIlIllng, Inc, would II~. to hold the state ch~lonDhlp mrrt at this facility
each lIlIllller. The Chamber of Carmerce granted us '1000 In 1989 for bringing In
business to the city. In addition to the monetary ben.1I ts. the
accomplishments of our DIIllII1Iersllhen publicized around the state and the
mleN.It, aro a posltlv. reflection on our ccmunlty.
l/hatllOuld be an equitable pool rental fee that the 1000a City Svlm Club could
realistically afford to pay? \/hen compared to oth.r similar non-prOfit
recrutJonal organizations using public facilities the Ite for 1I/IIlllllng 119000
per year) seems greatly out of line. To my knO'Jledge the rickers, Little
League, Babo Ruth, and youth softball leagues dO not pay a rontal charge for
the us. of facilities thai are built, developed. and maintained by the city.
Although the level of t.chnlcal expertise necessary doel not allOll us to ule
parent or volunteer coaches, the entire coaching staff Is hired and paid by
the Mm Club InVOlving no use of pool stafl on dick. V. are In the procm
of surveying other II/IIll clubs In the area to eee IIhIt they are paying In the
way of pool rental fees. lie have not had time to receIY. returns frOlll all of
ths lurveys. but the follOlllng Information has beon recelvedl
Ylnton - '0 rental of city pool
Cedar RapidS - IIO/hour rental of city pools
Vaterloo - 10 rental of school district pools

While I have not recelveo Information from the other clubs yet, In dlscu~slon
IIlth people frall Ceoar hils ano o.s Holm their pool rtntal lias etaled to be
'2500 and '5000 Per ym rupectlvely, As you can see. our fee of II5Ihr Is
quite a bit higher than any of the clubs surveyeo. Ino '30/hr ~Id be
astronomlcll Iy higher. Ve ~Io appreciate kn~lng how either the II5Ihr or
'30/hr fee lIere cllculateo lor our ym-rouno use. The 511lm ClUb ooel not
expect to use the lac II Hln lor no renta' fee.t .//. bUt . lIIaxla fee of
'IO/hr (wnlch cor.plres to the hlgnest fee surveyed I ~IO seelll much lOre
rullellc ano ~Io aJ I~ us to operate IIlthout a crippling budget deficit.
Alternatives to Consider.
I. Vlthdrall propolal to Increase fe.s frall 'l5Ihr to '301hr Ino Ineteld
reellce the rantal fee to 'IO/hr to all~ the &.11m Club to continue to
function.
2. Return &.11m ClUb to Rec, Center anO City Perk pOOls for training at
no renlal fee as WIS the case prior to 1988. &.11m ClUb will rent H.rcer Park
for llleets only. H~ever. this ~Id mean use of R.c, Center during &.11m Club
hours ~Id be unaval Jable to the general public. IIhtre practice at Mercer
dots not preclUde pUblic use.
3. Cont Inue with current '15Ihr fee structure, but assist 511111I Club to
reDuce deficit by providing tllO assistant coaches from city-palO pool staff.
Svlm Club ~Id continue to hire ano pay the head cOlch. Level of competetlve
II/Im training ~Id be a priority for the coaching staff.
~. Eliminate the pool rental fee and Instead require the clUb to
purchase an annual (or seasonal) y~th 11/111I pass for each II/Immer. This way
the fees paid to the city 1I000Id rise IIlth our rising membership and ability to
pay.
Ve have many current and former membersllho would lIke to discuss thlSlllllter
with the Commission and/or City Council. Ve take this proposal very seriously
as It threatens our continued existence. I Would be happy to anll/er any
qulltlons that you might have about this Issue, Plene feel free to call me
at home (351-77~41 In the evenings If you llould like further Information.
Thank you' for your consideration In this matter.

Doar Slrl
Plea so allov Ma to roglster MY oppolltlan to lalle of tho
Ideal propolad by Hr. Caclle Kuenzli, at al relating to dlmllhlng
traffic onterlng SUMMit Straet.
To restrict traffic on SUMmit Stroot vould undoubtadly
Increale tho veluo of tho proportlos of tho anointed liVing on
Summit Street, but It vould create traffic annoyancel for hundreda
of other cltlzenll, It additionally, tho SumMit Streat Bridge
vare clolad and another erectad on Govarnor, It would graatly
Increale traffic on Govarnor which alraady exceeds that an Summit.
Eliminating 9 properties on Governor would lose tho city those
proporty taxos and lose the oxlstlng pilings otc. on tho SUllmlt
Street Bridge that vlll lovor the cost of a robulld, as apposed
to a brand now brldgo on Govarnor St.
AI it oxlsts, the traffic going South to tho shopping conter
and IIlghvay 6 can filter through on SUMmit St. and tako sOlla load
off Dodge which already carrlos,consldorable of tho
downtovn load going south. If tho entire Eastllde traffic
load Invard of 1st Streot(tho next railroad crolslng available)
II added on to Dodga vhlch bottleneckl at Bovory (only one lane
going on South It vlll result In a congestad,lmbalanced,expenslve
tax 101lng SOlution. Adlln,nelther Dodge nor Sumlllt can connoct vlth
Keokuk, unless 10 or 20 More properties are condomned for a straight
run put Klrkvood to IIIghway 6. As It Is, 10Me of the Southbound
load goel dovn Summit and Dodge and enter Keakuk from the East and
West. I Usa thOle alternatives dally, both Northbound and Southbound
and rarely Is thare any significant congostlon, evan at rush hour.
The only possible Improvemant,ln my mind vould ba a traffic light
for Northbound traffic off Keokuk (In order to turn loft) at ruoh\
hour, and that naad Is not groat.
In Ihort, It vould appoar that tho property-value Interests
on Summit Straet vlsh to diminish the public'S ability to seo the

counT CASES
Thoro was only 1 appoal to District Court filod in 1990. It
was a ropoat of tho 1989 filing for cablavision. Tho 1989
cablovision oaso was sottled just beforo it's court dato duo
to 'tho Suproma Court dooision in tho Hason City oaso. Tho
1990 coso was not sottlod due to ponding litigation in othor
jurisdictions on cablovision. This is a continuing problom
across the country and might nood logislation to rosolvo tho

Mr. Kelly Ha)WOf1h, City Admlnlsttator

P.O, BOX 5127
CoraMllo, IA 52241
Deer Kelly:
Fonow'.ng a numbor 01 conversallons with tho sla~ 01 the CIty's DepaJlment 01 PublIc Works, they
havo ecMsed mo 01 work currently undofWlly by the City 01 Coralvllle with rospOCllo planning lor
your luturo wastowator troatmenllaclllty noods. I further undorsland thai you have a conltacl with
an englnoorlng fItm 10 Bluely the capacity and treatmonl capability 01 your laclllUes.
By way 01 !his loner I wanllo express 10 you our Inloresl and concem with respect to any plans
which might bo undortaken to expand tho treatment plant located on Cardinal Road neer Cloer
Creek. Currently, I understand the treetmenl plant effluenlls pumped II1rough a 20,OOO,Ioollorce
maIn localed along the old Rock Island rlghl-of.way, with the effluenl bolng discharged Into the
Iowa Alver downstream lrom tho Iowa CIty and the Unlvorslty 01 Iowa waler plants. Our
discussions with tho Iowa Dopartmont of Natural Resources Indicated, as late as March of I08B,
thai tho City 01 CoroM/lo discussed !he posslblllly of discharging trealed effluont, el!hor In pan
or In lotal, Inlo Clear Creok. We further understand that !he IDNR was encouraging thIs polnl of
vlow and did not dony the use or Cloar Croek as a polenUal roceMng stream.
As I am sure you can apprecfale, Clear Creek discharges Into the Iowa River a relal/vely short
distance upstream of the Iowa City and University waler treatmenl planls. Aside Irom the
potential communIty ernollonal and pollllcol probloms that could bo aSSOclatod with the effect of
thIs waslowater on our drinking walor supply, there may bo very real risk In the ability of Iowa City
to produce acceplable drfnklng wator. As you know, the fedoral safe drinking water regulal/ons
are making II moro and more dlfflcult and expensive lor communlUos to meol drinking water
slandards. A further concem would be thalthore Is the potenllal for a health risk" Ihere Is an
accldenlal row Wastewaler discharge or some type of failure on the plonl with respoct to Its
prOcessing controls. thIs, as our research has shown, may bo an all too frequent occurrence In
wastewaler plants whIch are oporal/ng al maximum capacity. I understand this to bo tho coso
for !ho Coralvlllo facility, Furthermoro, accldonlal spills or dlschargoslnto tho sower syetem by
a local Industry could very easily create a hazardous condlllon since a waslewater treatment planl
would not necessarily bo ablo 10 removo !he hazardous waslo and tho normal waslowator olfluonl
lestlng procedures may nol bo able 10 Idonl/fy thIs hazardous was to. this slluallon Is especially
critical with !he University of Iowa Research Park located In 1110 Coralvlllo eervlco area. As I am
sure you can appreclale, research facllll/os by tholr vory nature may produce potontlally
~azardous wasles,
