Dear Steve:
I am writing again with regard to the Iowa Festival's request for a portion of Iowa City's
recently Increased hoteVmotel tax funds. I want to explain why the Iowa Festival Is
approaching the City of Iowa City Instead of the Iowa City/Coralville Convention and Visitors
Bureau.
As I mentioned In my letter to Mayor Courtney and the City Council, the Iowa Festival has
received several small grants from the CVB ($1000 In 1991, $500 In 1992, $550 In
1993). The CVB currently provides $5000 annually In grants to an average of 10
organizations. The largest awards are generally $1000; the largest award ever was $1500,
We are aware that the Iowa City Council has recently reaffirmed an existing polley which
distributes hoteVmotel tax funds 10 various City agencies as well as the CVB. We have
approached the CVB to find out If, given the anticipated Increase In the CVB's ~udget, It would
make more money available for tourist attractions like the Iowa Festival. The CVB has
Informed us, however, that It will not be expanding Its grant program.
The Iowa Festival Is grateful for the funding It has received from the CVB's grant program.
If the festival Is to continue to grow, however, more money Is needed. The Iowa Festival has
the potential to become a major tourist attraction contributing substantially to Iowa City's
fUlure tourism earnings; with city support we think we can make this happen.
~Incerely, I

Re: HOME Funding and Release of Liens
HOME Fundino
We have just been notified by the Iowa Department of Economic Development that the City has
been awarded $250,000 for the comprehensive rehabilitation of approximately 12 units of owner.
occupied single-family housing for low and very-low Income persons. We had requested
$400,000 for 16 homes, the funding to be used over a two year period, We plan to expend the
$250,000 over the next 18 months.
This Is good news, as our wailing list for comprehensive rehab has about 16 families on II, many
of whom have been waiting for well over a year.
Release of Liens
I
During the next few months you will see a large number of lien releases on the consent calendar.
This Is a housekeeping proJect. We are going through our archives and releasing all the housing
rehabilitation liens that have expired. The Housing Rehabilitation program started back In 1976,
and many of the liens have expired and never been released.

DATE: January 13, 1993
RE: IDNR Rule Violation - Iowa City Landfill
In May of 1989, the Iowa City Landfill was issued an
administrative order as a result of what the IDNR considered
repeated violations of daily cover, wind blown litter, and
erosion. The City disputed the IDNR's conclusions but did not
vigorously object to the order since the penalty was only
$600.00.

Except for rare equipment breakdowns the City has always complied
with daily cover requirements. In fact, the City did have proper
cover over the area cited in the administrative order.
Wind blown litter is a continuous problem at all landfills.
Since issuance of the administrative order, the City has made a
supreme effort to comply with the litter control rule. Landfill
personnel have contacted other landfills to insure that Iowa City
is at least consistent with other landfills in our efforts and
success in complying with the rule. Since issuance of the
administrative order in 1989 the landfill has made the following
changes in operation to enhance compliance with the rule,
1) Close the landfill when wind presents a problem. During one
recent month the landfill was closed 60% of the time. Most
landfills do not close because of wind.
2) Pickup of windblown litter is now a very high priority for
full time landfill personnel. In addition, this effort is
supplemented by temporary help. In FY92 the City spent
$27,400 for temporary help to asslst with litter control,
3) Litter fences have been placed adjacent to the dumping area
to control litter.
4) A tarp has been purchased to provide quick cover over the
waste area.
, 5) A second scrapper (earth hauler) has been purchased to
provide redundancy in hauling cover material to the working
face.

Erosion continues to be a problem at the landfill since there is
such a large area that does not have any vegetation cover. The
landfill does, however, attempt 'to secure a vegetative cover as
soon as possible after landfilling operations have ceased. The
landfill has used various methods of seeding including
hydroseeding to insure rapid vegetative growth. In addition,
silt fences and storm sewers have been installed to control
erosion.
All of the above listed modifications have evidently not
satisfied the IDNR. On December 3, 1992 the Iowa Dept. of
Justice sent the City Attorney a letter seeking appropriate civil
penalties and suggesting a "Permanent Injunction" to assure
compliance, or a "Consent Decree" to insure compliance with the
IDNR's administrative rules regulating daily cover, litter, and
erosion.
It is the opinion of the Public Works Department and the Landfill
Division that our current operation is providing the best
safeguard against litter and erosion violations and that our
efforts equal or exceed those of other Iowa landfills.
Therefore, it is recommended that the City resist what we believe
to be selective prosecution.

Dear Sue:
This note is update you concerning the solid waste composting study.
R. W. Beck has presented the first work paper which focused on waste stream analysis of
compostables and the impact of different feedstocks. This gives us a preliminary idea of the
size of facility needed to accommodate different participation scenarios (see attached). One
interesting note was the smaller-than-expected impact of the industrial sector, evidence of
successful waste reduction and recycling programs in business and industry,
The draft of the second work pa~r will be presented sometime in February. This jll!per will
focus on the benefits of regionalizing the solid waste composting facility. I am anticipating that
this will provide Iowa City officials needed information to begin to determine the impact of
participation. Since the study is being funded by Cedar Rapids, and is to present information
mainly on behalf of Cedar Rapids, Iowa City officials may decide that additional information
will be needed before a decision can be made to participate or not. '
I will continue to keep you informed of the progress of the study, and will schedule our next
. Solid Waste Technical Advisory Committee meeting to coincide with the presentation of the
, draft of the second work paper, Please call with questions.
