IlICOIIICINDATIOHS
Aftor roviowing tho landfill roduction numbors and tho prol and

lugo contAinor doscribed in option 11 is rocommondod AI Iowa
City'o rOlidontial colloction mothod for rocycling. With curbsido
collection includod in tho city'S ovorall rocycling program tho
city'S contribution to tho landfill roduction is projoctod to
incroalo by 40', providing a landfill roduction rata of 7' by Iowa
City alono. Through curb.ido colloction Iowa City could
rolllistically doublo it' I colloction rata for plllltic, glall,
nowlprint and mot41 cans. This bocomol vory important in our
attempt to reduco tho landfill volumo by 50' by tho year 2000.
Tho largo containor i. rocommonded ovor tho .mallor containor duo

ContAinor COlt I Tho COlt of curbside containers hu been on
ongoino ialuo for tho City Council. In order to lowor tho COlt of
curblido colloction, the City hos tho option of soliciting privote
businen for donotionl to bo put towud tho purchaso of the
contoinors, Paying for tho container through private funds would
roduco tho monthly foo for residonts. Tho donations could
oliminato molt or 011 of tho purchuo cost for the containors
enabling the City to lowor it. COltl whilo Itill providing a
quality .orvico. Tho puticipating businoBlos could use the
donation AI not only a t~x deduction but as a public relations
offort with advertiling or donator recognition on tho contoinor
bosido tho Iowo City logo, The city would retain ownorship of tho
contoinorl while continuing to pay for the trucks, labor,
maintononco, procelsing, colloction and disposal COlta.
The city of 1I0uston, TOXAI has had great succeBl using the privato
donation proctico. The city sent a let tor to local companies
asking if thoy would be interested in providing containers for
curbside recycling. The city choso tho size, color and recycling

add thoir logo. Businossos which woron't solicitod for donations
also askod to participato and now IIoulton has a contalnor stockpilo
of ovor 10,000 bins.
Tho following showI tho curbsido program COlts for Iowa City aftor
using private donationsl
Option .1 - The largo containor with privato funding I
Annual paymont on trucks,
labor and maintonanco . $105,400
Units . 12,300
Cost/Yoar/Unit . $ 15.07
Cost/Month/Unit . $ 1.26
Option .2 - Tho small containor with privato fundingl
Annual paymont on trucks,
, labor and maintonanco . $247,200
Units . 12,300
Cost/Yoar/Unit . $ 20.10
Cost/Month/Unit . $ 1. 67
Collection for multi-family unitll Onco a curbsido program is
adopted, roduction from multi family dwelling units should bo tho
noxt area of concontrated offort, An ordinanco is probably tho
most effective mealure. The ordinenco would roquiro ownors and
managers of then facilities to provido collection for thoir
residents through their privato hauler. Tho ordinanco should be
enacted 6 to 12 months after curbside collection is adopted by the
City giving the owners and managors time to imploment a program.
Educationl Education will play a vital role in curbsido
collection. Residents will noed to understand tho reasons why wo
recycle, how the material should bo prepared for collection and
what type of material should be placed in tho containor. At least
$15,000 to $20,000 could bo used from the stato impoled set-a-sido
fund collected by Iowa City through the tipping foo. This money
can bo used for brochures, school curriculum and material,
seminars, videos or advertisements,
Volume Based Ratell In any curbsido recycling program a yoarly
roview of tho program should bo required. This reviow can be used
to ovaluato the effectiveneaa of tho program and detormine if
volume basod rates aro neoded. Volume based ratos aro an offoctivo
way to reduco landfill tonnage and offect purchasing habits. This
special rate system should be implemented no later than 1994,
unless determined to be needed earlier by the yoarly reviow. Tho
public needs time to become accustomed to tho curbside program
without the additional education aaaociated with volume baud
rates. By the time volume based rates are implemented the public
should be comfortable with curbside collection and can then shift
their attention to learning the volumo based rato system.
The volume based system is a pay-per-bag system on garbage only,
meaning that this system does ~ need to be implomonted at the

duplication of oorvicol alroady providOd by local buainoaa and
could bo dotrimontal to thoso oxisting businollol duo to

Dear City Council Members,
I wish to !'Calsler a complaint concerning tho city's parklna ramp fees.
Today, upon leaving the Burlington Street ramp, I was assessed $.80. That
amounted to $.40 for the hou, I was parked In the ramp and an additional
$.40 for the 10 minutes It took me to get out of the ramp from the top
level.
I realize this 15 small chango I'm speaking about but for tho Iypc of ~uslncss
I do In the downlown area, It'l quickly addlna up.
Thank you,

Dear Mary:
This leller Is to provldo somo of tho Inlormatlon you requestod lor
tho CHAS. As you know, Hlllcrost operatos throe programs lor
montally III adults In Iowa City: a 14 bod group homo on Church
Stroot, a 9 bod boarding houso on Bowory, and 0 Suporvlsed
Apartmont Living (SAL) program lor 50 poople.
Housing funding recolved In the early 1980s we received a
major HUD grant to build an addition on the Church St. group home.
In 1987.8 we acquired and remodole~ the boarding house with a
Gannell Foundation grant for $150,000 and a community lund drive
lor $50,000 which was used to repay COBG conslructlon loons which,
I believe totaled about $32,000. :
Operating funds lor the group home total $204,000 this year and
come Irom the counties through a purchase 01 ~ervlce contract with
DHS. Operating lunds lor tho Suporvlsed Apartment Living program
(Including tho boarding house) tolal about $167,000 Irom the some
source.
We wore expecting a 2% Increase In theso operating lunds lor next
year until tho Governor vetoed the bill providing that monoy. Now
we will have a 3% cut In those oporatlng lund lolals with Inllatlon
pushing up our cosls alllhe time. These cuts will mean reduced
stalling at tho group homo and lewor hours 01 sorvlco lor SAL
clients os woll as restricting tho number 01 people wo can sorvo.

the Issues of affordable housIng, We bollevo In the concept of affordable .
housIng and want to do whatever we can wlthfn our c.pabllltles to help wIth thIs
Important Issue, We have commItted menpower to serve on sever. I c~lttees
IncludIng the Iowa CIty HousIng CommIssIon as wall .s the Affordable HousIng
Tuk Force.
We have .lso commItted dollars to fund loans for these types of projects and,
although w. w.re not the low bIdder, we dId submIt. propos.1 for th. Sycamore
VIew homes. We .lso support and off.r varIous loan programs .ssocl.t.d wIth
this .type of lendIng. They Include, but are not IIllted to, the Hortg.ga CredIt :
CertIfIcate Program and the IndIvIdual Homo AcquIsItIon progr.m (IHAPI. We .Iso
were the fIrst state bank In Iowa to JoIn the Fedaral Home Loan 8.nk of Des
Holnes. We hope to us. thIs memberShIp to tak. advantage of the Federal Hom.
Loan Bank's loan programs whIch Include many afford.ble housIng type programs.
Wa also partIcIpate In the CIty of Iowa CIty Downpayment AssIstance Program. We
have fInanced several programs In Iowa CIty regardIng affordable housIng,
IncludIng but not lImIted to, the Greater Iowa CIty HousIng FellowshIp and the

sal en the Sycamore VIew project. We are In the process of workIng wIth a local
developer In provIding funds for low and moderate Income property In the
Broadway neIghborhood.
Also, we are In the early stages of workIng wIth the Iowa City Public HousIng
Program so that propertIes owned by the cIty can be sold to qualified borrowers.
This program Is In the early stages, but It appears this will be a good program
for the cItIzens of Iowa City.
