Washington Iowa City, IA 52240 MQl<1" Re: Schindhelm-Drews House, 410 N. Lucas, Iowa City, Johnson County Dear Mayor Courtney: We are pleased to infornl you that the above named property, which is located within your community, was accepted for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places by the State Nominations Review Committee at its May 7, 1993 meeting. Once a final version is received in our office, the nomination will be submitted for final review by the National Park Service. Listing in the National Register provides the following benefits to historic properties: .-Consideration in the planning for Federal, federally licensed, and federally assisted projects. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires Federal agencies allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation an opportunity to comment on projects affecting historic properties listed in the National Register. For further information please refer to 36 CFR 800. -.Eligibility for Federal tax benefits. If a property is listed in the National Register, certain Federal tax provisions may apply. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 revises the historic preservation tax incentives authorized by Congress in the Tax Reform Act of 1976, the Revcnue Act of 1978, the Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980, the Economic Recovcry Tax Act of 1981, and Tax Reform Act of 1984, and as of January 1, 1987, provides for a 20 percent investment tax credit with a full adjustment to basis for rehabilitating historic commercial, industrial, and rental residential buildings. The former 15 percent and 20 percent investmcnt Tax Credits (ITCs) for rchabilitations of older commercial buildings arc combined into a single 10 percent ITC for commercial or industrial buildings built before 1936. This can be combined with a IS.year cost recovery period for thc adjusted basis of the buildings. Ccrtified structures with certified rehabilitations receivc additional tax savings because owners arc allowed to reducc the basis by one half the amount of the credit. The Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980 provides Federal tax deductions for charitable contributions for conservation purposes of partial intcrests in historically important land areas or structurcs.

For further information, please refer to 30 CFR 700 et seq. --Qualification for Federal grants for historic preservation when funds are available. Elected officials, representing the communities within which nominated properties are located are encouraged to comment concerning the propriety of those nominations and the accuracy of nomination content. A fifteen day period of public comment, during the period of Federal review, follows the listing of this nomination in the Federal Register. Any comments previously submitted to the State Nominations Review Committee are automatically forwarded as part of the nomination and need not be repeated for the Federal review. If the owner of a single property nomination or a majority of private property owners in a district nomination object, a property will not be listed; however, the Keeper of the National Register can make a determination of the eligibility of the property for listing in the National Register. If the property is then determined eligible for listing, although not formally listed, Federal agencies will be required to allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation an opportunity to comment before the agency may fund, license, or assist a project which will affect the property. Should you have any questions about the National Register of Historic Places, or about this nomination in particular, please feel free to contact me at the Historical Building, Capitol Complex, Des Moines, Iowa, 50319, or by calling (515) 281-4358. incerely, \ mil I , 1~7'1 --......-, ~..... --.......- .".-.--- , ...

Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 June 2, 1993 Dear Mayor and Councilors: This letter is to confirm conversations with City Clerk Marion Karr with regard to my request to use the Civic Center building as a site for absentee voting for one hour following the June 2nd League of Women Voters Forum, and possibly the following day. It is my understanding the Mayor Courtney polled the councilors and detennined that a majority were against granting my request. As you know I am very much in favor of efforts to increase the dismal rates of participation we have in local elections as well as in state and national elections, These efforts have paid off handsomely in Johnson County in the past. In the November 3, 1992 General Election Johnson County strongly implemented satellite voting to increase our rank of the percent of the population casting ballots 23 places from 26th in 1988 to 3rd in the state in 1992. The League of Women Voters and the auditor's office have worked together registering voters, encouraging the habits of good citizenship, and eliminating the barriers which have resulted in progressively worsening participation in the electoral process in recent years. While the council has said no to this request, I'm certain that you are in agreement with the basic need to curb the disillusionment of our citizens and to encourage participation in the democratic process. I look forward to working with you toward these cnds in future coopcrative efforts, In the mean timc I will continue to look for opportunitics to make voting services available to the highly informcd but terribly busy citizcns of Johnson County who find it difficult to regularly cast ballots but havc demonstratcd that thcy will readily do so if efforts arc madc to make voting convenient and acccssible.

Iowa City, IA 52240 Re: Approval of Comprehensive Plan Amendment: Neighborhood Open Space Plan Dear Mayor and City Council Members: The Riverfront and Natural Areas Commission has reviewed the original draft and the current revised update of the open space plan. We believe the plan to be well conceived and clearly stated. The Commission voted unanimously at its May 19 meeting to support adoption of the open space plan as an amendment to the City Comprehensive Plan. The Commission commends the Neighborhood Open Space Planning Committee for the process followed in developing the plan and their commitment to sOliciting public input. The numerous community meetings to receive recommendations from the public has undoubtedly strengthened the plan. The RNAC has focused on the river corridor and preservation of significant natural areas; however, we do recognize the benefits to our efforts to be gained by adoption of the open space plan. Open space and the included trails when connected with the river corridor will strengthen the effectiveness of the corridor. The river corridor will in turn provide a "backbone" trail system for the interconnecting trail opportunities provided by the Neighborhood Open Space Plan. The RNAC will continue to work closely with the Neighborhood Open Space Planning Committee and City staff to develop a synergy of purpose and action. We firmly believe that adoption of the Comprehensive Plan amendment is in tha best interest of Iowa City residents and that the open space that will be provided by the plan will be a vital element in preserving the quelity of life for future generations. 410 EAST WASIIINOTON STREET.

College Street known as C-128, C.130, C.132, C-134, C.136, C.138, C.140, C-142, and on the south side of the 400 block of E. College Street, meters C-139, C.141, C.143, and C-145. In their stead, the Traffic Engineer will direct the placement of NO PARKING ANY TIME signs so as to prohibit parking all along the north side of the 400 block of E. College Street and on the south side of the E. College Street bridge. This action will take place In e permanent fashion on or shortly after 16 June 1993. COMMENT: This action is being taken in recognition of the new ramp entrance to the parking ramp now being constructed on the north side of the College Street bridge. The removal of perking on the north side of the 400 block of E. College Street will facilitate access Into the parking ramp and improve the site distance for vehicles leaving the ramp entering onto E. College Street. The removal of parking on the south side of the College Street bridge is Intended to provide maneuvering room for vehicles passing vehicles that are cued to enter the ramp. Four metered stells will be retained on the south side of the 400 block of E. College Street west of the bridge. This will provide, as before, access to the Rec Center, the bus station and other commercial Interests In the block.

I am therefore enclosing a copy herewith. This issue contains a 16- point mting scale for assessing impacts on and consequences to the environment, both human and natura1. resulting from a construction project. TIle rating scale is a distilla.tion of many environmental assessments as well as a nwnber of federn!, state and local acts and plans, all ot" which are dcL1iled on the last page of tile Bulletin. As I stated before, while our neighborhood association has not specifically endorsed tiris rating scale, we believe ti1B.t it is a balanced representation of the kinds of impacts and consequences ti1B.t should be considered as a part of an environmental assessment. We urge you to see to it ti1B.t tiley are included when the parameters of the E.A. are set forth. Vole again request that you solicit community involvement once tile scoping process gets tmderway, and we look forward to hearing froUl you as to how the public will be included in the F. it process.

Nesbitt [SCA.l48] Introduction. The U.S. Congress enacted the National Environmental Policy Act in 1969 to counteract the environmental problems caused by '~onstruct now, take the profits, and worry later or never" about the adverse environmental effects and degradation. Since 1969 The NEPAct has required that the beneficial or adverse impact be determined by an Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environ- mental Impact Statement (EIS) before a project plan or proposal is implemented. Options. When the EA or EIS finds adverse consequences the options are: . lOOdifify the plan to mitigate or eliminate the negative impact. . pursue an alternative plan to get the same result "/lith less damage. . if mitigation or alternatives are not feasible, then stop the project. EA and EIS. The aims of the EA and EIS are to find the preferred alterna- tives that will eliminate or mitigate the resulting adverse consequences. The consequences (elements, components) considered are the same for both the EA and the EIS. But, che EIS does not require a Scoping Meeting (where components are selected), or publication in the Federal Register, and so on. ~ EA is: . conducted when there is doubt about the need for an EIS with two possible resulcs: Result No. 1. a PONSI: Finding of No Significant I.llpact yielding an ap- proval to implement the plan or proposal. Resul t No.2. a finding is made that there tray be adverse environmental consequences and then an EIS is required. . EAs are reviewed by a "lead [prhrary] agency" and the U.S. EPA. . EAs are 1 imited to e~isting information (EIS prepares new information). . Draft EAs are prepared and submitted to the lead agency within six weeks to three months (the EIS may require six months to one year). · after lead agency review, the EA is final. Rating Scale. The instrument that follows has been designed for volunteer and professional users in appraising the environmental impact that a specific project will have '/lhen completed. u. Acknowledgements.

Washington Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Ms. Novick, We are writing this letter in response to news reports about the possibility of removing SEATS service from non-disabled senior citizens. We currently have Jeff's father living with us and he uses the SEATS service 5 days a week to get to and from the Senior Center. He is 79 years old and does not drive. As you can see by our address, we are at least 1.5 miles form the nearest city bus service, so for him, public transportation is not even an option. Thus, we are quite disturbed by the news about removal of service. This would effectively make Abe house bound 5 days a week and would be, we believe, a great injustice to senior citizen SEATS users. If faced with the choice of losing SEATS service or paying more per ride, we firmly believe most seniors would gladly have a fee increase or mandatory fee payment for those who can afford it. For anyone without convenient bus service and access to bus shelters in inclement weather, SEATS service isn't a luxury. It's a necessity. Please do all you can to retain current SEATS service. Thank you in advance for your anticipated support.
