MEMORANDUM
Some of you have been contacted by Jim Muller regarding a project he Is working on at 942 &
950 E. Jefferson Street and the possibility of a zoning amendment that could affecl the project.
We are working with Mr. Muller, Cindy Cook (the owner of the property), and the Planning and
Zoning Commission and Interested neighbors to address some of the issues raised by the
proposed construction on these properties.
Evldentally, Cindy Cook purchased 942 E. Jefferson Street, fixed up the property and continues
to rent the existing structure. She (and others) then purchased 950 E. Jefferson, at the comer
of Evans Street, with the Intention of preserving the structure, possibly moving it to the rear of the
lot at 942, and constructing one or more new structures on the corner lot. Ms. Cook voiced the
possibility of these plans to neighbors who subsequently expressed their concern to the Planning
and Zoning Commission about moving the house at 950 to the rear of the 942 lot. The
Commission requested staff assistance to amend the Zoning Ordinance to prevent the placement
of two structures on a single lot of certain dimensions in the RM.12 zone.
Subsequently, Ms, Cook and Mr. Muller decided that the house at 950 E. Jefferson cannot be
saved economically, and Intend to remove the house and build three structures facing Evans
Street on 950 E. Jefferson, Some land from 942 will be shifted to 950 to enable the density they
plan for their construction project. These actions would all comply with the Zoning Ordinance.
The net effect of Ms, Cook's and Mr. Muller's plans, If successful, will be three new structures on
Evans Street, maintenance of the renovated structure at 942 E. Jefferson, and retention of the
open area behind 942 E. Jefferson. Board of Adjustment action may be necessary to reduce yard
requirements to allow the three structures to be placed along Evans Street. Ms. Cook and
Mr. Muller may proceed with their plans regardless of whether the Zoning Ordinance amendment
Is accomplished or not.
Further discussions with the Planning and Zoning Commission will take place to determine
whether a problem Is perceived In the RM-12 zone generally, and whether an ordinance
amendment Is stili desired. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 356.

Re: Information Services Annual Report
The improvements Information Services went through in the last year were rapid and
consistent. Thanks to the addition of new graphics software; and some talented artists, our
look has reached a new level of professionalism. The database of information screens was
reorganized to make categories easier to find, and the usage data shows that we were
successful. Most importantly, the addition of the new Response Television software, RT2,
has given us many new avenues to explore, such as the use of digitized sound, better access
to usage statistics, a wide variety of graphics formats, and the potential to give our audience
much more advanced computer services, such as access to other databases.
The change to the new RT2 software, and the revamped database have caused a major shift
in usage patterns. The total number of calls is down, but the number of information screens
accessed has remained steady. The average call has dropped from three minutes to two.
These statistics show that access to the information citizens want has become easier ard
more efficient due in part to the new software's ability to load screens more quickly. .
The statistics also reflect that our callers have become more adept at accessing the system.
One unexpected result of the revised database is that the usage of individual categories has
evened out. The most popular categories have lost some usage, though they still top the
usage charts, and many of the previously less used categories have shown greet Improve-
ment. One category, Iowa City Transit, had an increase of 728% in one quarter.
The most obvious improvements to Information Services have been In the area of graphics,
The addition of several software and hardware packages have made these improvements
possible. The Rn software's ability to display higher resolution graphics with many more
colors has allowed us to exploit the graphics capabilities of the Amiga computer,
The addition of, the Media Unit's Video Toaster has given both the Media Unit and Information
Services a bridge between video programming and computer graphics, Even though access
to the Toaster for Information Services purposes has been limited due to its heavy usage, It
has proven an Invaluable tool for the creation of high quality graphics, The Toaster is also
allowing Information Services and the Media Unit to begin cross-promotion programming, I
believe this will help increase audience awareness of both video programming and Information
Services,
.2 '/5/
-.
.2:
In addition to the new RT2 software, wa have recently acquired saveral software packeges
thet have greatly enhanced the operation of Information Services, The Deluxe Paint IV
program ellows us to manipulate graphics with more than 4,000 colors. Previously, we were
Iirnited to only 32 colors on.screen, One of the most versatile programs that we recently
obtained Is Art Department Professional, This program allows us to transfer graphics from
the Video Toaster to the RT2 program. it allows us to convert text files to graphic screens.
It also allows us automated conversion to any graphic format, which allows us to keep up
with new computer hardware and software.
Perhaps the most useful software package, though least related to graphics, is the AREXX
prograrnmlng language. AREXX allows us much greater control over our computer programs,
allowing graphics programs to communicate with word processing programs, statistics
programs, and spreadsheets. This is what has allowed us to automate many of our routine
operations.
FY92 was also a good year for us in regards to personnel. I would like to point out the,
excellent job done by the information Services staff, which during the year consisted of four
college work.study students, three Mayor's Youth Employment students, and one volunteer.
I couldn't have done it without their help,
For FY92 one of our goalS at Information Services was growth. The amount of information
, and the number of callers both grew beyond expectations,
Another goal for FY92 was to improve the service itself, and I believe we succeeded. Our
graphics hava Improved to give us a more professional look. Changes have been made to
rnake the system easier to use, both in terms of our user access and getting information on
the air. The addition of the RT2 software has given us new avenues to explore, such as the
use of digitized sound, animation, and eccess to other computel applications end services.
We have two goals for FY93. The first is to increase the public'S awareness of Information
Services. To do this we will be promoting Information Services to users through a campaign
of printed flyers, vldao programs, and new Information Services Categories. We will also
promote ourselves to Information providers as a naw way of getting their message out,
Our second goal Is to exploit the new RT2 software to Its fullest extent. This means, in part,
to use features,lIke digitized sound, to make Information Services more closely resemble the
feel of traditional television programs. '

MEMORANDUM

From:
Re:
Annual Report
I,
Overview
This has been an eventful year for the Media Unit. During this fiscal year, we have increased
both production capability and the quality of programs produced. On the positive side,
demand for our services has been strong, and as a result, at the end of FY92 we had provided
service to most City departments, many of the divisions within the departments, and a variety
of commissions and non-profit organizations.
The rnost significant increase in type of service has been in "internal" media production for
departments and divisions, including such programs as training videos, non-cab/ecast public
presentations and documentation/video records, As a genre, this type of production is labor
intensive, requiring a longer time to produce due to the need for planning, scripting, muitiple
location 'shoots', and an extensive editing time. The result is that a greater effort and use
of resources goes into fewer programs. Yet, cost per program has remained low, ranging
between $10 and $40 per finished minute - substantially lower than the industry standard
of $900 to $1500 per finished minute for programs of equal length and quality.
Program production for Channel 29 has increased as well, due in part to an increase in single
camera meeting coverage and. whenever possible, modifications of internal programs for
cable cas!. The number of programs obtained from non. City outside sources for playback on
Channel 29 decreased, being replaced by Media Unit productions and other local sources such
as the Senior Center.
Concurrent with growth and program production has been a demand for non-production
services. Services such as equipment 10011, staff support for media related purchases,
consultation, etc. has grown and City staff have responded to our efforts to provide
consistent and dependable non-production media support.
On the down side, the growth in all service areas has had an impact on resources. As you
are aware, use of resources exceeded budget projections, especially in cost of part-time staff
and videotape purchase.
Jl/Sd-.
-.
.2-
Of great concarn has been the impact on production demand on equipment. Though relatively
new, the production inventory has started to show signs of wear due to incraased use_
Maintenance, service and repair on production equipment has increased - a trend expected
to continue. At current use, replacement schedules will need to be revised.
The most critical impact has been on post-production (editing equipment), some of which does
double duty as production equipment. Often, during editing sessions, equipment must be
allowed to 'rast' in order to perform correctly. This delay contributes to an already existing
'bottlenack' in our production schedule. Without question, current demand exceeds the limits
of available post-production equipment, This has resulted in missed deadlines, staff stress,
and dacreased program quality.
II. Ooerations
In FY92, our equipment inventory grew to meet increasing production demands and to
promote high quality program values. 'Super' VHS acquisition and editing equipment was
added as a production format, resulting in reduced production cost, increased production
capability and compatibility with Iowa City Public Library and Senior Center video production
equipment. Quality "graphics' capability was added to our post production unit. Technical
measurement equipment was also obtained, for use in both field production and post
production, to insure established standards of quality and consistency required for professional
results.
The intern and volunteer program continued to be a success with three to five University level
interns on staff during each semester. In addition, we provided opportunities for four Mayor's
Youth employeas during the last fiscal year. Jerry Nixon was honored as "Outstanding
Supervisor' in the Mayor's Youth program.
The growth in demand for our services during FY92 demonstrated the nead for re-evaluation
of accounting math ods of services provided. New computer based systems were designed
and implemented to track productions and record activities. Data from these new systems
will allow more accurate and detailed information on Unit activities which will appear in FY93
reports.
III. Production
Production demand has been high. As previously mentioned, long term 'internal' type
production has increased and when added to routine productions for Channel 29 (such as
Council coverage, meetings, event coverage, etc.) the result has been a consistently busy
production work schedule. The following is a listing of the results of these efforts.

Re: Rehab Computer Program Sales
During the past two years the Community Development Division of the Department of
Planning and Community Development developed a computer program which prepares bid
documents for housing rehab projects and also provides a cost estimate. The bid document
is prepared in two ways, one which includes all the project tasks and a second one which
sorts the tasks by trade, I.e. all electrical work, all plumbing work, etc.
Our former HUD representative, who has now moved to Texas, was impressed with the
program and is touting it in Texas. We are getting requests for copies. So far we have sold
one copy for $200 to the City of San Angelo. (They did comment that construction costs in
Iowa City were high compared to Texas.)
Any mon~y we receive for the sale of this program will go back into the rehab program.

Dear Mr. Wagner:
A copy of your recent letter/petition directed to the City Council was referred to me for
response. I discussed this matter with the Director of the Department of Public Works, and
he indicated to me the concerns with respect to providing leaf vacuuming in your neighbor-
hood. Specifically, there is the potential for damage to curbs and an inability to move the
equipment safely through your very narrow private street.
I also visited your neighborhood on three occasions, following my direction from the City
Council to review this matter. I noticed a somewhat helter skelter parking arrangement. that
is, cars parked at an angle to the curb, parallel, in the median, etc. Recognizing the fact your
street is so narrow and that we cannot enforce parking in your neighborhood, the City
equipm~nt, would,have difficulty vacuuming leaves at curb side. After discussion, I believe that
the Department feels they can provide a leaf vacuuming service in your neighborhood with
cooperation with respect to parking. I have instructed them to include your neighborhood as
a routine part of our current vacuuming schedule. We cannot guarantee a specific date and
time, but hopefully our schedule and with parking considerations from your neighborhood, we
will be able to satisfactorily vacuum leaves.
I have included the information flyer that we routinely use in providing information about the
leaf vacuuming service, It specifies dates for your area of the City. You may wish to contact
the Director of Public Works at 356.5140 and Mr, Schmadeke can hopefully give you a better
idea as to the schedule. Also, I would appreciate your informing your neighbors, in case I may
have missed someone by way of my correspondence.
Sincerely yours,

NEWS RELEASE

CITY OF IOWA CITY
Leaf Pickup. 1992
The Streets Division of the Iowa City Department of Public Works will again offer the
unique service of leaf pickup this fali.
The cooperation of the residents of Iowa City Is Imperative to the success of the leaf
coliection. The leaves should be raked Into the parkway area (between the sidewalk and the
curb), but no farther than five feet from the curb. If the leaves are placed more than five feet from
the curb, the vacuum equipment cannot reach them without damaging the parkway area. Leaves
should not be raked Into the street as they may be washed Into the storm sewers by rain and
cause street flooding. Also, residents should remember that only leaves can be picked up; the
machines will not pick up brush and garden refuse.
Parked vehicles also cause problems for the leaf pickup crews. Some areas, where on-
street parking Is heavy, are posted for no parking whlie leaf pickup crews are In the
neighborhood, Where parking Is limited to alternate days, leaf pickup will occur on the side of
the street without parking.
In spite of ali preparation of schedules and maintenance of equipment, there are other
elements thaI affect the operation of the leaf pickup and can cause delays In the service,
Breakdown of equipment, heavy rains, snow, etc., can change the schedules, and residents are
asked to be patient and understanding. If residents desire more rapid leaf pickup, they may bag
the leaves In yard waste bags and place them out with regular refuse for coliectlon by the City
refuse crews. Leaf burning Is banned by City Ordinance.
A map showing the planned schedule for leaf pickup service Is on the reverse side of this
Information sheet. Please keep the map for reference throughout the season.

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 29. 1992
To: Steve Atkins. City Manager
From: Karin Franklin, Director. Departme
Re: Meeting with Local Realtors
Last Wednesday, October 21. I had the opportunity to respond to an invitation from Duncan,
Matheson, Glasgow realtors to come and speak with them regarding the subdivision process
in Iowa City. Basically, my presentation covered the subdivision process and generally why
cities care about the platting of land. We had a very interesting discussion of housing costs
in Iowa City and shared many of the frustrations of dealing with that problem. The comment
was made that the cost of housing could be diminished by changing many of the regulations
of the City, particularly in regard to street standards and infrastructure. We discussed this
and some perceived problems in terms of relegating those of lower income to what the rest
of the community would see as substandard areas. We all agreed that what was needed was
a comprehensive look at not just regulations, but land costs, the market, and the transiency
of our population.
I found the discussion to be very interesting and see these types of meetings as opportunities
to let people know what the City does and why. It also was a very good opportunity for
dialogue with a part of the development community. I hope to do more of this with other
sectors of the community in the future.

Re:
Neighborhood Open Space Plan Committee Work Update
The Neighborhood Open Space Plan Committee met on October 27,1992, and continued its
evaluation of the open space needs of the individual neighborhood open space districts in both
the Developing and Developed Zones of Iowa City. The Committee scheduled its next
meeting for Monday, November 23, 1992, at 7:00 p,m. in the Department of Planning and
Community Development conference room. At the November meeting, the Committee hopes
to complete its work on drafting the Neighborhood Open Space Plan.
When the draft of the plan is completed, the Committee anticipates forwarding the document
to the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Parks and Recreation Commission and the City
Council for review and comment. The Committee also intends to meet with neighborhood
groups throughout the community to gain feedback on the proposed Neighborhood Open
Space Plan. Based on the review comments, the Committee will revise the plan prior to
formally presenting it to the two Commissions and Council for consideration. A tentative
schedule for these events will be established by the Committee at its November meeting.
Please feel free to call me at 356.5251 if you have questions or suggestions concerning the
work of the Neighborhood Open Space Plan Committee.

Most .)f that traffic tflen went east on H,)llyw':,c,d Blvd. Hc,llywc..)d
Blvd. has been faced with some tough traffic problems for quite a

for, Thanks to the Iowa City' Police Department, the area was
well patrolled and tfle traffic, wflile very heavy, was kepi; under
,:ontrol and many antio:ipated prc,blems did not c..:cur. We want to
thank the Ic,wa City Pc,lice Department for being there when we
needed them and fc,r thei r presence ,:,n Lakeside Dr! ve by Grant
Wc..:,d Schc..:,l now that Lakesi de Dr. is open all the way through.
The 13rant W.)c,d Neighborhoc,d Assc,o:iation asked Jim Bra,:htel and
the Traffc Department to install lane lines at the intersecton of
Fairmeadows and Hwy.6 to clarify a through lane and a turn lane
and to extend the lane markings all the way to the corner of
Hc,llyw,),:,d Blvd. t,:, encoLlrage drivers tc, stay in their lane when
turning left and not cut the corner short. We want to thank Jim
Brachtel and the Traffic Department for acting s':' swiftly ,:on this
request.

MAYOR'S YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM
QUARTERLY NARRATIVE REPORT
FIRST QUARTER
FY 1993
July, August, september, 1992
INTRODUCTION
The first quarter of the fiscal year marked the completion of
a rather busy summer filled with numerous conservation corps
projects. Also during the quarter, MYEP welcomed Ms. Cindy
Chambers as the new Associate Director of the agency.
Two (2) program activities and the addition of our VISTAS
(Volunteers In Training For Service to America) are my picks for
further discussion in the opening introduction of this report.
They are the Iowa Conservation Corps, Mississippi River
conservation Corps Project, and the addition of six (6) VISTA
volunteers in our community.
On July 17, 1992, The .Iowa Conservation Corps teenage
component held its annual project commemoration. The completion
of the front porch at the Youth Center, the Fairmeadows Park
project, Turkey Creek environmental project, and "creek patrol",
were the major projects of the Iowa Conservation Corps during the
summer.
Each crew designated an individual'to provide an overview of,
the work projects completed. I was impressed by the thorough,
concise and informative presentations by the young crew members.
During the same weekend, Mississippi River Conservation Corps
III ("MRCC"), started with the first week spent in Minnesota and
the final week spent in LeClaire, Iowa at Lock & Dam 14. I am
particularly proud of the young people from Iowa and the "esprit
de corps" that developed among the participants from Iowa,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
In mid-June, I completed training with three (3) of the VISTA
volunteers assigned to the Johnson County consortium of human
services. Lianne Knych, Jay Church, and Hillary Harmless join us
from VISTA and were recruited from the national pool of candidates.
Their focus in Johnson County is to assist the member agencies in
determining solutions individuals and families facing homelessness
and hunger. They were joined by three (3) more VISTAS in August.
It became immediately evident that these young people are
extremely dedicated and will play a vi tal role in recognizing
issues and working on solutions in our County during their stay.
They have been welcomed by our community with open arms.

with Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). By the end of JUly, six
(6) additional clients were placed in job sites. One (1) young man
was placed at Graphic Printing and Design with a promise if he
worked out he would be hired by the employer at the end of August.
This was a client that we have worked with in previous summers.
In his initial interview this summer I saw a lot of growth and felt
he would do an excellent job.

SEX EOUITY, seven (7) young people were placed in job sites
through the sex equity component. This program is not usually
active during the summer months but there was still an interest and
means to work with teen parents. Some of the job site placements
were carry-overs from the school year. The actual placements were:
Johnson County Neighborhood Centers, City of Iowa city Government
Information Channel, us Air Force Recruiters Office, VA Medical
Center Medical Administration, VA Medical Center Endocrinology
Research, VA Medical Center Personnel, and Iowa City Cabinet Shop.
AUGUST
YOUTH HOMES SCILS PROGRAM, several young people were
discharged (5). Three (3) clients had continuing problems adhering
to the expectations of the program and would not attempt any
employment possibilities. One (1) of these clients was the young
man that had successfully completed the MRCC. The other two (2)
young people discharged had stabilized and did not need assistance.
Everyone else maintained employment in their job sites with one
young man finally gaining full time employment possibilities at the
university of Iowa as a nursing assistant. By late September
several young people were wanting to change job sites. One (1)
moved from the US Air Force Recruiting Office to Holiday Inn in
housekeeping. Another young woman was seeking other employment
through JTPA. All clients participated in monthly workshops and
consistently met with staff regarding employment issues.
YOUTH HOMES INDEPENDENT LIVING PROGRAM, two (2) young women
left the program in August. One (1) female returned home to
Waterloo and the other was assigned to another placement that was
more fitting to her needs. Two (2) females were on maternity
leave. One (1) new client was added to the program, a male. He
had various interests in employment varying from construction to
animal care. He had an opportunity for employment at Mosica Horse
Stables in North Liberty but missed the interview and was no longer
considered. The young woman that had been working at Quick Trip
was terminated. I do not believe this was her doing. Her phase
out at this job site was done through various pricing tests. Her
job duties were cleaning. She was never given the opportunity to
work the cash register or with any product. I believe this was
unfortunate, but we all learned from this experience. She tried
other non-subsidized employment possibilities through the month of
August.
TRANSITIONAL, twenty-five (25) young people worked this
program through the end of August. The young man was hired at
Graphic Printing and Design. Staff worked on the units of service
rate for the FY 93 budget with the Johnson County Department of
Human Services. The rate dropped dramatically but this will
hopefully allow us more funding per client in wage and fringe.

SEPTEMBER
YOUTH HOMES SCILS PROGRAM, four (4) new clients were added to
the list in September. Two (2) clients were discharged. New work
site positions developed or pending included, Hawk I Feed and
Relay, Iowa city School District After School Program, JTPA
receptionist, Public Defenders Office, and US Army Reserve 109th
Medical Unit. Three (3) clients were still in need of employment
at the end of the month. The workshop in September was a group
discussion regarding general employment gripes. It gave everyone
an opportunity to complain and then help each other resolve what,
if any, real critical issues existed. The program staff met with
Roberta Till-Retz, Ph.D. of the Labor Office. The primary purpose
of this meeting was to educate the staff on many issues and plan
a workshop for October to include all clients. We feel it is of
utmost importance for our young people to be educated about all
general labor laws. This workshop will be followed by another
after the first of the year regarding discrimination and harassment
in the workplace.
YOUTH HOMES INDEPENDENT LIVING PROGRAM, retained all six (6)
clients and admitted one (1) new client. This client is from
Dubuque and her records indicate she has a borderline IQ. In the
initial interview it was obvious she will need additional
assistance and an appointment has been made with Charlie Levine at
Vocational Rehabilitation. One (1) mom remains on maternity leave
and the other has moved into competitive employment at Kentucky
Fried Chicken. The young woman that worked at Quick Trip had much
difficulty in finding competitive employment and it was felt that
a subsidized position would be more appropriate at this time. She'
was referred to JTPA for funding and will start work at the MYEP
offices in early October. She has had many personal difficulties
in the past few months and I believe she will be able to stabilize
in this position.
TRANSITIONAL, totaled seventeen (17) for the first quarter.
New clients were added after the school year resumed that were
referrals from Grantwood AEA and the Iowa city Community School
District. Two (2) clients that have had multiple problems in job
placement have been re-evaluated for new placements. One (1) young
man has tried four (4) different job sites. We believe he has
found his niche at the City of Iowa City Government Information
Channel. After his first week on the job he was showing
insurmountable levels of initiative and self-starting behavior,
The supervisor, Tom Flanders, was astounded. We are hoping this
will continue and that this will be an area of interest that
provides him with on-going self-satisfaction. The other client,
a young woman, that has had many emotional difficulties will be
starting work at Every Bloomin' Thing in October. We are looking
forward to this as she is.

B
SEX EOUITY, is slowly taking on more and more young women,
some with non-traditional employment issues while others are more
traditional in their employment interests. The Programs
Coordinator of MYEP, the VISTA Volunteer from MYEP, and the Teen
Mom Coordinator from UAY have been meeting to plan workshops for
the Teen Moms group for fiscal year 1993. We really hope to have
a weekend retreat this year which will provide the young women with
assertiveness training as well as general educational and
employment knowledge. Lianne, VISTA Volunteer, has been actively
assisting the Teen Mom Coordinator of UAY with a mentoring program.
This program will provide friendship, support, insight into career
options, life skills, and healthy relationships. An additional
five (5) women were placed in job sites that brought the quarter
total to seventeen (17).

Dear Sue:
With the upcoming legislative session, I recalled what I believed was a review by the League
concerning the development of stormwater management districts. As I understand the law
and from contact with the Ehlers law firm, it is generally a badly written law. It makes it
difficult, if not'impossible, for communities to prepare this type of utility district proposal, I
would like the League staff to give some thought to possibly considering amendments to that
law, I do not have speciijcs at this time, but would be happy to volunteer our staff to provide
commentary and any other support for such an initiative. Please give it some thought and let
me know.

Cable Refranchising - Technical Audit
The City's consultant has recently completed a technical audit of the local cable system. This
was conducted as part of the formal franchise renewal process. Attached please find a copy

report is extensive and highly technical. However, I can provide you with a copy if you wish

f..
I The results of tesling and inspection show that the system meets current performance standards
"
,~' established by the FCC. However, Class 2 signals which come under FCC rules in December do not
t. meet the hum performance standards, At the time of the lest, the system performed satisfactorily.
,
I There are some deficiencies in the system that should be addressed as a part of lhe franchise renewal
~.
I process,
· lnspeclions of the antenna lower reveal some antennas thaI are no longer in use. It is
I recommended that these be removed to allow for space so that the channel 2 antenna array may
be raised in elevation, Figure 15 illustrates the orientation and distance to TV broadcast stations
r presently carried and potential for carriage on the system.

Temperature moniloring and stand-by powering for the building housing the signal processing
equipment for the antennas need to be provided. On our visit, the air conditioner for the
building was not operating and the ambientlemperature was above normal.
Tel claims to have started the practice of installing grounds for the subscriber drops when a
service call for other reasons are scheduled, A program should be instiluted where an audit of
all subscriber service drops are checked and grounds installed where needed,
To expand the system capability beyond the current 35 channel level will require changes in
the existing electronic equipment and system design to maintain the same performance level
for additional channels. It is reasonable to consider expanding the system to a total channel
distribution capacity of 60 channels or more and maintain performance standards consistent
with the FCC rules within the Iowa City limits, However due to the longer amplifier cascades
it may not be able to maintain the same quality level as with the 35 channel capacity without
the addition of fiber optic technology,
TCI should put forward a plan 10 pass lhrough all channels which are in stereo.
It was noted that as a part of the testing, that interference appeared on the monitor receiver in
the vicinity of the hospital. Interference problems were particularly pronounced on cable
channel 19, Subscribers using cable-ready TV equipment object to interference from a variety
of broadcasl services such as the mobile radio/pagers that operate on the same frequency as
channel 19 and off-air broadcast signals on channels 12, While this is not a problem in the
cable system', both the company and city staff should be aware of the problem and be able to
advise subscribers on how to minimize these types of interferences. The cable company should
make extensive use of quad shielded drop cable.

. General periodic maintenance of the institutional network by the cable operator is advised.
Testing revealed hum related problems on the channels delivered to the hub via the network.
. TCI claims to have instituted a campaign to monitor and correct signal leakage on the system
and to require that the system service call rate for each month be under 2 % of the subscribers.
Both of these programs should improve the overall system performance. However, the cily
cab,le office was not aware of these Tel practices.
. In an effort to improve picture quality on all the channels, it is recommended that the coaxial
supertrunk cascades feeding the signals from the antenna site and satellite earth station to the
hub be replaced with dedicated point-to-pointliber-optic links.
. Subscribers should be made aware that TCI is required to offer modem AB swilches.
TCI reports the main cause of system outages is due to severed cable lines due to underground
construction. Rapid real estate growth and lack of a coordinated utility location program were reported
to be the main causes. The second most prevalent re;lSon for outages is powering rel~ted fr~m the local
electric utility. The cable office keeps a log of the outages with dates, times, and repair resolutions
and it is availaole for inspection.

Cablecasting City Council Work Sessions t
To:
From:
Re:
Attached please find a copy of a memorandum from Bob Hardy to Drew Shaffer summarizing
the costs and considerations for cablecasting work sessions. In addition, copies of
memoranda from other staff containing their observations are also included.
The costs we would incur immediately include overtime and part-time wages estimated to be
$4.000 to $5,000 annually, and an estimated $200 for microphone stands and related
equipment. The additional purchase of "presentation" equipment at a cost of approximately
$8,000 \~'ould certainiy be an asset. not only for cable casting but also for general audience
information at informal sessions. This is the kind of equipment you looked at lest year.
Bob has also suggested an upgrade to the existing editing system. This is something which
we ,have anticipated will be needed at some point in the future, and the taping and the
rebroadcasting of work sessions represents a significant increase in the demand on current
post-production equipment. However, even without cablecasting work sessions, it is likely
that this equipment would be recommended for purchase in the next year or two.
This item is on your work session agenda for November 9. Please feel free to call me, Drew
or Bob prior to that time if you have any questions,

Re:
As you are aware, we have completed the test coverage of City Council work sessions,
Having reviewed the results, I have the following comments and recommendations:
1. We have identified necessary camera locations and miaophone locations for
audiol~deo production at qual~y levels needed for cablecasl. In general, we are ready
to be~n routine coverage of Council work sessions.
2. We will require some minor equipment purchases including the following:
a, cable protector-to prevent tripping over cables: est. $20.00
b. 5 mic stands-special stands to hold miaophones: est. $100
c. 2 heavy mats-to run cables under tables: est. $50.00
3. I strongly recommend that an additional "cuts only" SVHS editing system be added to our
post-production invent~. Without the additional editing capability this would create, the
existing bottleneck in our production schedule will inaease and gains in pro!Tam output will
decrease.
4, In addition, I strongly suggest that 'presentation' equipment be purchased, The
!Teatest weakness in proposed work session coverage is in how we can include video
shots of the various maps, plats, charts, etc., frequently used in work sessions. The
tendency of Council members to lean aaoss the work table to view these devices also
results in unflattering video images. I have attached three memos from City staff who
frequenUy use such devices for Council presentations.
Presentation equipment would include a video presenter and a video projector, This
equipment was demonstrated to Council last year. Cost for the equipment at that time
was around $7,500-$8.000,
5. I also would like to re-state that coverage of Council work sessions will require
additional cost for part.time staff and will require reconsideration of production and post.
production equipment replacement schedules. We should expect the need for
preparation time, once Council has made a decision to cover work sessions, to arrange
for part.time staff and purchase of needed equipment recommended above,

RE: Broadcasting Council Work Sessions
As a follow-up to our conversation of Friday, I have the following concerns
relative to the live broadcasting of Council work sessions.
Council backs to the camera.
Staff backs and lower torso as they present at the table.
(Certainly some sort of overhead as previously discussed
would eliminate this problem.)
Audience comments being picked up.
Good audio .taping of the session.
Light controls become more important for video presentations so
as to a 11 ow camera to pi ck up.
As mentioned previously, I think a presenters podium equipped with a
projector and overhead woul d be areal asset for all of us.

RE: Visual Aids for Presentation to city Council
rhe Engineering Division makes a number of presentations to
Council throughout the year that involve visual aids, The visua:
aids range in size from 42" X 66" malls to 24" X 36" plans to
8.5" X 11" handouts. The primary difficulty with the large
drawings is that they must either fa':e the Council or :he
audience, but not both.
To date we have not used slides on a regular basis because of the
inconvenience of setting up the slide projector and messing with
the lights. The convenient use of slides would be a very useful
resource when communicating with Council, '

Re: Presentation Needs for Council
In response to your inquiry as to what Planning would need for presentations to the City
Council if the work sessions were televised, the most common needs ere for presentations
of plats end development plans. Typically, these come in a large format, in hard copy of
approximately two feet by three feet. We are able to get reductions of these plats and plans
and reproductions of them onto a transparency. The other need which we could conceivably
have, if the technology was available" is the presentation of slides or photographs of the
various sites or projects we are working on. The difficulties I see are in being able to stand
at the podium and at the same time manipulate the visual presentation and refer to it while
speaking into the microphone. The presenter at the podium, which was discussed earlier,
seems like a solution to this problem.
Please let me know if you need any further information. Personally, I think it would be
beneficial to televise the work session, in terms of getting information out to the public, and
would be happy to assist in making this happen.

Re: Lakeside Apartments/Hollywood Boulevard Meeting - September 28, 1992
Three residents of the Grantwood Neighborhood Association (Mary Lewis, Jane Klitzka and
Rick Funk) and I met with the Manager of Lakeside Apartments, Bill Boileau, to discuss what
measures could be taken to assist in the traffic problem on Hollywood Boulevard associated
with Lakeside Apartments. Mr. Boileau was very helpful by offering to provide written
information to new residents when they move in as well as continually discussing the issue
within the apartment's bi-monthly newsletter. He suggested that he would also do what was
possible if a particular vehicle could be identified as consistently speeding on Hollywood
Boulevard and was known to be a resident of Lakeside Apartments.
The option of closing off the Hollywood Boulevard entrance was also discussed. Mr. Boileau's
main concern is that the two entrances that remain. assuming a new one is installed at same
location, not create a "thoroughfare' through the development so as to encourage cruising
traffic. He ~Iso agreed with the concern that once the traffic signal at Highway 6 and
Lakeside was installed and further development occurs south of Highway 6, that there could
be a backup of traffic going north on Lakeside thus restricting the access out of the frontage
road from Lakeside Apartments, It was discussed that the management company for Lakeside
Apartments should plan for an alternative drive at some point in the future or allow apartment
traffic to leave the complex at some other location, preferably to the south of the apartments
onto Lakeside. Although it is apparent that Mr. Boileau has limited capacity on making final
decisions, he suggested that he would relay this information to the menagement company,
After the meeting, I suggested to Mary Lewis, President of the Grantwood Neighborhood
Association that a letter be written to Mr. Boileau and the management company to
summerize what had been discussed at the meeting,

Re:
Grantwood Neighborhood Meeting - October 28, 1992 - Highway 6
Pedestrian Access Discussion
On Wednesday, October 28,1992, approximately 40 residents of the Grantwood Neighbor-
hood and surrounding areas met with Jeff Davidson and three members of the City Council
(Courtney, Ambrisco and Horowitzl to discuss their concerns with crossing Highway 6 as a
pedestrian, Their concerns were focused primarily on the safety of children crossing the
highway on their way to school at South East Junior High, as well as general pedestrian
difficulties with Highway 6, Meating notices were providad through the Grantwood
Neighborhood newsletter, South East Junior High newsletter, and flyers taken home by Mark
Twain students,
Jeff Davidson presented preliminary resuits of an ongoing study of the issue. His information
included the volume of pedestrian traffic crossing the highway, a cost estimate for installing
a pedestrian bridge ($618,500), and the obvious financial restraints of the City in approving
such a Capital Improvement Project,
The neighbors were informed of the Council's budget process for approving such a project.
Council members encouraged the neighbors to coordinate their efforts in substantiating the
need and the potential use, of the bridge by their children and providing that information to the
Council at the CIP Public Hearing, They were also asked to recommend the most appropriate
location for the bridge, The availability of the sidewalks serving a pedestrian bridge were also
discussed.
The Neighborhood Association is planning on surveying the students at the affected schools
to determine the usage and preferred location, Potential increase in pedestrian crossings
because of the easier access wiil also ba examined.
Some general frustrations with vehicular access to Highway 6 from the neighborhoods was
also discussed. Intarsections at Sycamore and Fairmeadows were said to be particularly hard
to use to access tha highway because of the limited green signal at certain times of the day.
The neighbors suggested this encourages traffic from the side streets to avoid Highway 6 and
use the residential streets for their east/west travel. The neighbors also suggested that the
speed limit between Fairmeadows and Lakeside Drive (45 miles per hour) be reduced to 40
miles per hour because of the traffic signal that will be installed at Lakeside. Jeff indicated
that the speed limits on Highway 6 are controlled by the Iowa Department of Transportation.
The installation of a crossing light at Fairmeadows was discussed. I wiil be discussing these
issues with the Traffic Engineer so a response can be 'provided to the neighborhood.
I will continue to keep you updated on the neighborhood's activities regarding this issue as
they occur.

721 N. Linn Street
Iowa City. IA 52245
Re: 702 North Dubuque Street
Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick:
I have been asked to respond to your letter of September 23 addressed to Mr. Steve Atkins in which
you express several concerns regarding the fraternity located at the above address. This department
has been working with the tenants at this fraternity for the past year to correct some Iowa City code
violations. The parking area to which you refer was established in violation of Iowa City codes and
was ordered to be corrected or removed. The retaining walls were constructed to control the bank
which was eroding the parking on top of the hill. The tenants have assured us that every effort was
made to save as many trees as possible, and they have erected an eight-foot fence to attempt to re-
establish a buffer. The shed, which was recently constructed, was located too close to a property line
and was ordered moved. The establishment of a volleyball court in this area, while it may be
objectionable to neighbors, is not in violation of City codes. The associated lights and noise may be.
The City of Iowa City Code of Ordinances does contain specific provisions concerning excessive noise
and exterior lighting. I have spoken with the tenants about the lights and if you continue to have
problems, we will arrange for an inspector to come out one or more evenings and take some light meter
readings. We will need your permission to come onto your property to take these readings. If a
violation exists, we will move to get it corrected. The excessive noise complaints should continue to
be directed to the Police 'Department.
We realize fraternities can be very difficult neighbors at times. Most of the fraternities and sororities
in Iowa City have existed at their present locations for many years and are legal uses on those parcels.
While this in no way excuses them from compliance with all City codes, this use, by its very nature,
is going to be more intensive than most other residential uses, Along with this comes parking, traffic,
and noise problems which have to be negated as much as pOSSible within the confines of City
regulations.
I hope we can count on your cooperation and understanding In resolving your concerns, If you have
any further questions or concerns, please contact me at 356-5124.
Sincerely,
f::lo~~1

Iowa City, IA 52240
Dear Steve:
As you are aware, the Heritage Museum continues to grow at a rapid rate, becoming annually more
impottant to our community's economic health, 'In the last four years, we have seen the annual
number of museum visitors rise from 600 to 6000, More than 22% of those visitors come from
outside the county, bringing their spending money and credit cards with them. .In the last four
years, we have increased our federal and state grant revenues from $0 to $21,400. Virtually all this
outside money is spent In our community, generating income for local merchants and service
providers. .In the last four years, we bave also added three staff positions, contributing
professional employment which benefits the community in many ways,
In FY1992, Iowa City contributed $2000 to the museum's support. In FY1993, we received
$2100 from you. For FY94, we ask you for $4000, This amount would match a state ICCG grant
which would permit us to hire a fundraiser. We have received annual grants from this state
program since FY90. Each year, the museum's operations "grew" enough to support the new
position in the succeeding year, We believe that the permanent addition of a fundraiser to our staff
will help us become even more self-sufficient, And with minimallnvesnnent by Iowa City,
eoralville, and other local governments, it is possible for the Heritage Museum to develop into a
regional cultural attraction like Waterloo's Grout Museum or Davenport's Putnam,
Iowa City's FY92 and FY93 assistance to the museum were budgeted in the Aid to Agencies
section of Iowa eity's fmancial plan, May I suggest that an alternative source of dollars for the
museum is the hotel-motel tax? Even the Iowa eity/Coralville Convention and Visitors Bureau
acknowledges the paucity of tourist attractions in our community, The continued development of
the Heritage Museum could be a step in the right direction for Iowa City's tourism and destination
marketing, If only two pennies from each dollar generated by the hotel-motel tax were dedicated to
the Heritage Museum by Iowa City-eoralville, this would insure our continued growth and remove
us from the Aid to Agencies section of the budget, where we draw dollars from buman service
agencies. Most importantly, the residents of our community would benefit ~ from the
visitor dollars - 78% of Heritage Museum visitors come from within Johnson County, They come
to the museum for exhibits and programs about local history. As a strong supporter of
neighborhood associations, I think you would agree that local history can be a tie that binds a
community together, creating a common sense of pmpose from division and diversity. I hope you
will suppon us in this effon, Please feel free to call me if you require more information, Thank you
for your attention and for your assistance in making others aware of our goals.

MEMORANDUM
Date: November 6, 1992
To: Stephen Atkins, City Manager
From: Don Yucuis, Finance Director ~
Joe Fowler, Parking Systems Su~erintendenl.lt-"
Reference: Year to Date Parking Usage
Attached you will find the information requested regarding Parking System revenues and hours
parked.
Total revenues thru October 31. 1992 are $894,458 or 34,6% of the FY93 budget of
$2,576,889, If you look at just ramp and meter fees and permit revenue $795,460 or 35.3%
of the FY93 projection of $2,256,000 have been received. The policy change of not allowing
parking on the lower levels of the Capitol Street Ramp before 10:00AM and the 25% rate
increase have decreased revenues in that ramp but overall parking revenue has offset that
decrease.
Through pricing and restrictions we have achieved the desired result - relocation of long term
parkers who were using the Capitol Street Ramp to allow more convenient shopper/short term
parking through out the day.
We have included a brief overview of our system and the University of Iowa Parking
Department, and Iowa City Transit,
CITY OF IOWA CITY - PARKING SYSTEMS
The increase in parking rates appears to have had little effect on the demand for parking in
the CBD. Except for the month of October hours of paid parking are above last year, This
is due to an increesed usage of on- and off-street parking meters and the Dubuque Street
Ramp,
On- and off-street meters do not reflect any aversion to the increased rates. The only area
that was affected by the rate increase was Area IV and paid hours of parking have increased
in that aree, The outlying meters, Areas I and II, show some additional usage this year,
Overall, metered parking has increased during the first four months of this year.
The increase in the Dubuque Street Ramp can be attributed to three factors: lower hourly
rate, daily maximum charge and no parking restrictions, If the hours of parking used by
monthly parkers and the Holiday Inn were included total hours for Dubuque Street would be
comparable with Capitol Street.

The Capitol Street Ramp has had a substantial decline in usage, There appears to have been
some initial reaction to the increased rates as hours parked dropped in July by 17,000
compared to one year ago. This was off set by a 7,000 hour increase in Dubuque Street and
a 25,000 hour increase in metered areas, In August Capitol Street recovered to the level of
the previous year, At that time we imposed the restrictions on the lower levels. October
usage is down 27,600 hours.
The parking restriction in the Capitol Street Ramp continues to be controversial. Signs are
posted on each level, on the ticket spitters and gate arms, and on each door exiting the
affected areas. We continue to issue tickets daily,
UNIVERSITY OF IOWA - PARKING
The University of Iowa operates three parking facilities in the CBD. These facilities have had
an increase in excess of 50,000 hours of paid parking during the first quarter of this year,
Some of this increase was anticipated but a portion is attributed to the rate increase and
parking restrictions in the Capitol Street Ramp,
CITY OF IOWA CITY - TRANSIT
Transit ridership does not appear to have been affected by either the rate increase or the
parking restrictions in the Capitol Street Ramp.
