City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
Date: June 7, 1993
To: City Council
From: City Manager
Re:
Wastewater Ammonia Standards
We have been advised by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources that the Iowa law allowing
us to attend to the changes In our treatment facilities In order to meet ammonia standards by the
year 2000 are now no longer acceptable to the Federal Environmental Protection Agency. In Its
slmplesttenns, we have been told that the year 2000 Is no longer an acceptable date for us to
undertake and complete a plan for treating ammonia. It must be done far sooner. The federal
govemment has chosen to take a more aggressive position on this Issue and, therefore, we will
need to fonnally rrspond to the IDNR and the federal EPA, accelerate the schedule for the
connecting of the two pl9JIlS and any other ammonia removal procedures that might be
necessary. The original planning process would have allowed us to complete our work along
about the year 2000 which, under Iowa law, had been acceptable. We will now begin a fonnal
process of scheduling this work and we must also begin a process of Infonnlng the public of the
rather dramatic Increases that will be In effect with respect to wastewater treatment bills. There
Is IItlfe we can do If we are to continue to operate our treatment plant and secure the required
federal pennlts. Additionally we could have underway at the same time a new water treatment
plant. Therefore utility rates will be Increasing and major construcUon disruptions will occur.
We will provide addltlonallnfonnatlon In the very near future.

I have baan directed by the City Council, as of Monday, June 7, 1993, to come up with a
detailad plan, including a schadule, in ordar to "finally resolve the above matter."
The Council unanimously agreed on Monday that the City should establish certain parameters

the Cliffs Apartments on Dubuque Street. I would thus appreciate your calling Mery
McChrlsty, City Attorney's Admlnlstratlve Secretary, at ext. 5030 to set up a meeting tlma
during the weeks of June 9-18, 1993.
I will be out of town at a seminar June 19-25, 1993; so if the ebove-noted dates do not work,

Thank you for your asslstanca in this mattar, and I look forward to "brainstorming" with you

MEMORANDUM
Date: June 10, 1993
To: City Manager
From: David Schoon, Economlc.Davelopment coordinato~
Ra: CESA Application for National Computer Systems
City staff and the ICAD staff are presently working with National Computer Systems (NCS)
in preparing a Community Economic Betterment Account (CEBA) application. NCS is
considering expanding its Iowa City facility on its existing campus located near the Highway
1 and 1.80 interchange. NCS is considering the Iowa City site and other sites located outside
of the State of Iowa as possible sites for its expansion plans. The selection of the Iowa City
site is contingent upon the company receiving CEBA funding. The City Council's
consideration of the resolution authorizing the submission of the CEBA application to the State
will likely be scheduled for the June 22, 1993 City Council meeting. The application materials
and details of the project will be included in your June 22, 1993 Council packet. We are
moving es quickly as possible to meet the interests of NCS.

Dear Honorable Mayor Courtney,
The Community Showcase will soon be arriving and we are very
excited about all the opportunitiee it will provide for citizens in
North Liberty, Coralville and Iowa City. The Showcase Committee
has been diligently working on the promotion, pOlicies and fee
structure. Members of the Committee include Ron Farber, Chamber
representative; Steve West, Iowa City Community Band rep; Mike
Moran, Iowa City rep; Barb Berry, North Liberty rep and Marie Ware,
Coralville rep.
We would like to invite you and other representative~ of your
community to be a part of the ribbon cutting ceremonies to be held
in all three communities. We as a committee believe that it is
important to kick off the Showcase premiere in each city with a
ribbon cutting before the event of that day. We also feel that it
is important to show support in all three communities and have the
presence of community leaders at each of the three ribbon cuttings.
The Showcase has become a joint venture between public and
private entities. This project would not have been possible if not
for the support of all groups. We thank you for the support that
you have given to this project.
Here are the details for each of the ceremonies:
Music in Park
S.T. Morrison Park June 10 6:30 p.m.
North Liberty Fun Days Meadows Park
June 12 4:00 p.m.
I.C. Community Band Concert Upper City Park June 13 4:00 p.m.
Your committee representative will be contacting you to
confirm attendance at the ceremonies. We thank you for your
support of the Showcase and know you will enjoy all the events that
it will be featuring in the coming years.
Sincerely,
YnC&'r.u.' uJUc-

Dear Mr. Saunders:
We realize the Kiwanis are interested in erecting a shelter and some
playground equipment In the new Kiwanis Park.
As the adjoining neighborhood we would like to participate as a resource
of ideas and workers. We have been contributing to your perk fund as we raise
money.
After the water retention basin is planned we would like to meet w~h your
committee and be involved In the planning process. We have some Ideas for part
of the undeveloped areas for educational benefits along w~h very reduced
maintenance cost. In the mean time we will pursue funding and raising money for
the park.
Sincerely,
HIff

CITY OF IOWA CITY
PRESS RELEASE
BACKFLOW PREVENTION - CROSS-CONNECTION PROGRAM
Most people don't realize a water hose used to flush anti-freeze
from a car radiator or a lawn fertilizer bottle designed from the
end of a garden hose can create life-threatening situations, but
they can. Reversing of flows through the hose can cause the anti-
freeze or herbicides to be sucked back into the water system. To
help minimize this potential the City is initiating a new program
called the Backflow Prevention - Cross-connection Program.
NEW ORDINANCE
Iowa City recently adopted a new ordinance through the Uniform
Plumbing Code of 1993 which includes a new program called the
Backflow Prevention and Cross-Connection Control.
This program is required to be implemented by the State in all Iowa
cities with populations greater than 15,000 by the year 1996.
HOW THE PROGRAM WILL BE IMPLEMENTED
The City will begin by inspecting City facilities for contamination
potential and installing or testing devices to bring them into
compliance.
Then surveys will be sent to industrial and commercial customers
and users of 2nd watering meters. There are approximately 1100
industrial and commercial customers and 350 2nd watering meter
users in the City (Of 16,000 total accounts).
A certified Backflow - Cross-connection technician may assist to
complete the surveys.
The Ci ty wi 11 evaluate the returned surveys and reQui re
installation of protection devices where a potential for
contamination is identified.
TIME FRAME
It will take several years to complete the program and continued
monitoring and testing continue thereafter. Inspection and
installation is expected to occur in a step-wise process to
eventually cover the entire city.

wHO WILL BE AFFECTED
Industries, hospitals, dental offices, Photographic labs, and
mortuaries are some of the potential locations where contamination
problems could occur.
In addition, owners of 2nd watering meters, irrigation systems,
and some fire protection sprinkler systems will be notified.
AN ONGOING PROGRAM
Once the protection devices have been installed most will need to
be tested once per year (by a certified technician). The Water
Division and Building Inspection will track and monitor compliance
with this program.
The cost of installation, testing, and repairing of the devices
will be the responsibil ity of the property owner. Depending on
the property there could be a significant expenditure to initially
install the devices.
Fa i 1 ure to i nsta 11 a protect ion devi ce once a contami nat ion'
potential has been cited could result in termination of water
service.
Attached is some information that may assist with further
questions.

1 What Is back-siphonage? I
Back-siphonage Is the reversal 01 normal flow In a system
caused by a negative pressure (vacuum or partial vacuum) In
the supply piping.
2 What factors can cause back-siphonage?
Back-siphonage can ,be created when there Is stoppage of the
water supply due to nearby fire-fighting, repairs or breaks In
city main, etc. The effect Is similar to the sipping of an ice
cream soda by Inhaling through a straw, which Induces a flow r
In the opposite direction.
:'
,
3 What Is back pressure backflow? j:,
I'
I
Backpressure backflow Is Ihe reversal of normal flow in a '1
Ii
system due to an Increase In the downstream pressure "
I'
above that of the supply pressure. ]i
,I
"
il
I
4 What factors can cause a back pressure-backflow condition? S1JllolLl 'UC\'lvE ii
'/ .'1[ .
Back pressure-backflow Is created whenever the downstream I'
C=:J )
pressure exceeds the supply pressure which Is pOSSible in "
Installations such as heating systems, elevated tanks, and
pressure-producing systems. An example would be a hot water C:EfuAN_
space-~eating boiler operating under 15-20 Ibs. pressure BChlEP
coincidental with a reduction of the city water supply below
such pressure (or higher in most commercial boilers). As water I
tends to flow In the direction of least resistance, a back- I
pressure-backflow condition would be created and the
contaminated boiler Water would flow Into the potable water
supply.
5 What Is a cross connection? ~
A cross connection Is a direct arrangement of a piping line
which allows the potable waler supply to be connected to a
line which contains a contaminant. An example Is the common
garden hose attached to a sill cock with the end of the hose , ,.'
lying In a cesspool. Other examples are a garden hose
attached to a service sink with the end 01 the hose submerged
In a tub full 01 detergent, supply lines connected to bottom-fed ,
tanks, supply lines 10 boilers. , .
6 What Is the most common lorm 01 a cross connection? ()
Ironically, lhe ordinary garden hose Is the most common
I offender as It Can be easily connected to the potable water.

) 7 What Is potentially dangerous about an unprotected sill cock?
The purpose of a sill cock Is to permit easy attachment of a
hose for outside watering purposes. However, a garden hose
can be extremely hazardous because they are left submerged
In swimming pools, lay In elevated locations (above the sill
cock) watering shrubs, chemical sprayers are attached to
hoses for weed-killing, etc.; and hoses are often left laying on
the ground which may be contaminated with fertilizer, cess-
pools, and garden chemicals.
8 What protecllon Is required for sill cocks?
A hose bibb vacuum breaker should be Installed on every sill
cock to Isolate garden hose applications thus protecllng the
potable water supply from contamlnallon.
)
1\ Should a hose bibb vacuum breaker be used on frost-free
::1liYdrants?
Definitely, providing the device Is equipped with means to
permit the line to drain after the hydrant Is shut-off. A "remoy-
able" type hose bibb vacuum breaker could allow the hydrant
to be drained, butlhe pOSSibility exists that users might fall to
remove It for draining purposes, thus defeating the benefit of
the frost-proof hydrant feature. If the device Is of the
"Non-Removable" type, be sure It Is equipped with means to
drain the line to prevent wlnterfreezlng.
1 0 Can an atmospheric type, antl.slphon vacuum breaker be
Installed on a hose bibb?
Theoretically yes, but practically no. An anti-siphon vacuum
breaker must be elevated above the sill cock to operate
properly. This would require elevated piping up to the vacuum
breaker and down to the sill cock and Is normally not a feasible
Installation. On the other hand, a hose bibb vacuum breaker
can be attached dlreclly to the sill cock, without plumbing
changes and at minor cost.
11
What Is all atmospheric typa vacuum breaker?
The most commonly used atmospheric type anll-slphon
vacuum breakers Incorporate an atmospheric vent In
combination with a check valve. Its operallon depends on a
supply of potable water to seal off the atmospheric venl,
admitting the water 10 downstream equipment. If a negative
pressure develops In Ihe supply line, the loss of pressure
permits the check valve to drop sealing Ihe orifice while at the
same lime the vent opens admitting air 10 the system to break
the vacuum.

12 Will an anti-siphon vacuum breaker protect against a backpressure
backtlow condition?
Absolutely notllf there Is an Increase In the downstream
pressure over lhat of the supply pressure, the check valve
would tend to "modulate" thus permitting the backflow of
contaminated water to pass through the orifice Into the
potable water supply line.
13 Can an atmospheric type vacuum breaker be used on lawn-
sprinkler systems?
Yes, If these are properly Installed, they will protect the
potable water supply. The device shall be Installed 6"
above the highest sprinkler head and shall have no
control valves located downstream from the device,
14 Can an atmospheric type vecuum breeker be used under
continuous pressure?
Nol Codes do not permit this as the device could become
"frozen", and not function under an emergency condition.

1 6 What Is continuous pressure?
This Is a term applied 10 an Installallon In which the pressure
Is being supplied continuously to a backflow preventive device
for periods over 12 hours at a lime. Laboratory faucet equip-
ment, for example, Is enllrely suitable for a non-pressure,
atmospheric type an II-siphon vacuum breaker because the
supply Is periodically being lurned on and shut off. A vacuum
breaker should never be subjecled to continuous pressure
unless Ills of the conllnuous pressure Iype and clearly Idenll-
fled for this service.
MUL T1.Z0NE SYSTEM
1 7 Are check valves approved lor use on boiler feed lines?
Most jurisdictions require backllow protection on all boiler
leed lines. Some will ellow a backllow preventer with
Intermedlale vent as minimum protection for residential
boilers. A reduced pressure backllow preventer Is generally
required on commercial and compound boilers.

However. low cost, continuous pressure backflow preventers
are now available which will perform with maximum
protection; thus check valves are not recommended.

1 8 What Is the dl/lerenee between pollution and eonlamlnallon?
Pollution of the water supply does not constitute an actual
health hazard, although the quality of the water Is Impaired
with respect to taste, odor or utility. Contamination of the
water supply, however, does constitute an actual health
hazard; the consumer being subjected to potentially lethal
water borne disease or Illness.
1 9 What recent case would reflect users being exposed to
"pollution" of the water supply?
Pollution can sometimes be amusln'g. In December of 1970 In a
winery In Cincinnati, Ohio the water supply valve was
Inadvertently left open after flushing out wine-distilling tanks.
The result was that during a subsequent fermenting process,
sparkling Burgundy backflowed from the vats Into the city
main and out of the kitchen faucets of nearby homeowners.
This typical reversal of flow In water supply piping caused by
the distilling tanks operating at a pressure higher than the city
water supply did Impair the condition of the water but did not
make it dangerous. Indeed. many thought It was the best water
they ever tasted.
2 0 What recent case would reflect users being exposed to
"contamination" of the water supply? .
In May 1969 In a Pennsylvania college, the air conditioning
system which contains dangerous chromates became blocked
preventing circulation of the coolant. In an attempt to unblock
the pipe line. a maintenance man Inserted a hose In the pipe
and attempted to dislodge the blockage by water pressure. A
reversal of flow developed, allowing the chemicals in the air
conditioning line to backflow through the hose and Into the
potable water supply. Unknowing students In other parts of
the building SUbsequently drank what was thought to be
potable water, resulting In Illness to 23 persons.
Are Ihere any other recorda of recent caeea Involving unpro-
tected cross connections?
The startling fact Is that cross connections are Increasing at
the estimated rate of 100,000 per day and there are frequently
documented cases Involving reverse flow.
. )2 2 What recently reported cases occurred In a plant?
In addition to the case described In "No. 19", there are addi-
tional reports but because of the possibility of litigation for
these pending cases, Information Is difficult to obtain. However,

2 3 What recent case was reported Involving a school?
Most people are familiar with the details of the Holy Cross
Football Teams' "hepatitis" Incident, which was later
determined to be caused by a backflow of contaminated water.
It took close to nine months for officials to determine that a
severe fire In nearby Worcester lowered the pressure In the
football field area to the point where a back pressure backflow
condition was created allowing contaminants from a sunken
hose bibb pit to backflow Into the field house drinking bubbler.
2 5 Are there any cases Involving outside procesalng activities?
P\JMPPIlll.llNGLlN!
Yes, In 1972 a case occurred In a gravel pit operation In illinois. I
A pump was used In the processing operation supplying 100 '"'~;::
Ibs. pressure. Contaminated weter was forced back through an ',"'ICE
unprotected "prime line" overcoming the city water pressure of
451bs. The contaminated water entered the city main and was
channeled Into a nearby bottling plant. This probably would ""'"
have gone undetected except that personnel In the bottling
plant noticed that the water was not only dirty but was warm.
City officials were Immediately called which led to the discov-
ery of the reverse flow from the gravel pit operation. "NCIION"".

24 What recent case was reported Involving a commercial bldg.?
Much to the surprise of the customers of a bank In Atlanta,
Georgia they saw yellow water flowing from drinking fountains
and green Ice roiling out of cafeteria dispensing machines.
It was later reported that a pump, used forthe air conditioning
system, burned out; and a maintenance man, unaware of the
danger, connected the system to another pump used for
potable water. The result caused large doses of bichromate
of soda to be forced Into the potable water supply, causing
the dramatic appearance of yellow water and colored
Ice cubes.
2 6 What other typical cases have been reported recently?
In 1972 an Automatic Car Wash Injected gallons of a strong
detergent solution Into the city supply. The reverse flowing
detergent was discovered In nearby homes more than a block
away and was officially classified as being caused by an un-
protected cross connection In the plumbing line.

In 1970 In Utah a Doctor reported two gold fish flowing Into his
bath tub. Earlier In the day he had been filling his gold fish
pool with a garden hose when a back-siphonage condition de-
veloped resulting In the late emergence of the gold fish Into
the bath tub.
What Is more significant, however, Is the number of recent
cases that have not been reported. With the number of un-
protected cross connections In existence today, these are .
potential disasters which can occur any time unless adequate
protective devices are Installed.
2 7 What Is meant by "Degree of Hazard"?
The degree of hazard Is a commonly used phrase utilized In
cross connection programs and Is simply a determination on
whether the substance In the non-potable system Is toxic or
non-toxic. Referencing No. 19 and No. 20, the winery would be
a low hazard, while the air conditioning system would be a
high hazard Installation.
~ 8 What Is the difference between a toxic and a non-lox Ie
substence?
Toxic substance Is any liquid, solid or gas, which, when Intro-
duced Into the water supply, creates, or may create, a danger
to health and well-being of the consumer. An example Is
treated boiler water. A non-toxic substance Is any substance
that may create a moderate hazard, Is a nuisance or Is aesthe-
tlcallyobjectlonable. Forexample, food stuff, such as sugar,
soda pop etc. Therefore, YOll must select the proper device
according to the type of connection and degree of hazard.
There are five basic devices that can be used to correct cross
connection.
2 9 Whet are the five beslc devices used for protection of cross
connections?
The five basic devices are:
1. Air Gap
2. Atmospheric Vacuum Breakers. which also
Includes hose connection vacuum breakers.
3. Pressure Type Vacuum Breakers. which also
Includes Backflow Preventerwlth Intermediate
Atmospheric Vent for1/2" and 3/4" lines.
4. Double Check Valve Assembly
5. Reduced Pressure Principle Backflow Preventers.

3 0 What Is an AIr Gap?
Air Gap Is tho physical separation of the potable and non.
potable system by an air space. The vertical distance between

The Committee accepted the minutes of the March 30, 1993, meeting.
REVIEW OF THE REVISED DRAFT NEIGHBORHOOD OPEN SPACE PLAN:
Watson noted the change to the draft of the plan whereby secondary school campuses do not
receive credit. Bovbjerg said perhaps secondary school campuses should receive some credit
as passive open space. Rockwell noted credit is based on ~ open space. Rockwell
suggested adding to the text that secondary school campuses do not receive eutometic credit.
She said that did not preclude giving some credit if specific arrangements were made with the
school district for the use of active open space on a particular campus.

Rockwell reviewed the various changes that had been made to the plan based on the
comments of the Committee members at the March 30, 1993 meeting. Cook said he would
like a recommendation added to the implementation section of the plan to promote continued
collaboration between the City and the Iowa City Community School District.
Cook said he received strong opposition to the plan from the future president of the Iowa City
Chamber of Commerce. He suggested writing a letter to the Chamber reiterating the
Committee's position. Rockwell said the letter could also be used as a cover letter for the
plan when it is presented to the City Council. Cook said an argument used by people who
oppose the plan is that it will result in decreased availability of affordable housing. Bovbjerg
said open space and affordable housing are not mutually exclusive. Watson said both are
legitimate needs of the community.
Cook said, like any other Infrastructure, open space has to grow as the City grows. He noted
open space has accounted for less than 3% of the land of recent development proposals. He
said the Committee's position should be that they recognize the need for both open space and
affordable housing. Watson suggested the cost per dwelling unit for open space should be
calculated. Cook offered to prepare that calculation.
After soma discussion, the Committee agreed to remove the words "proactive" and
"systematic" from the text of the plan. Rockwell noted the table on page 8 of the plan would
need to be revised to reflect the Committee's decision not to give credit automatically for

secondary school campuses. She said the Dane tract should also be given credit in the Willow
Creek District since it has officially been accepted by the City.
After some discussion. the Committee agreed to change the second paragraph under
Acouisition and Maintenance to read "Nlleded open space within the Developing Zones will
be acquired through a mandatory open space dedication and/or fee in-lieu-of dedication
ordinance. The formula provides an equitable and predictabla method of acquiring needed
opan space since the amount bears a direct proportion to the level of demand generated by
new developmants. Those who pay for opan space must benefit from it. Impact fees, cannot
be used for the general community welfare." Cook said these changes make it claarer that
the formula provides predictability. Committee mambers noted various other minor changes
that should be made to the plan.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE REVISED PLAN FOR CONSIDERATION BY
THE COMMISSIONS/COUNCIL:
Rockwell suggested a brief summary presentation of the changes to the plan be made to the
Parks and Recreation Commission, the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the Riverfront
and Natural Areas Commission. Watson said the Committee will need to plan a complete,
formal presentation for the City Council. Bovbjerg said the map used in the formal
presentation to the City Council should be telegenic. Cook noted Fred Hebrecht and Larry
Schnittjar of MMS Consultants have offered to donate Hebrecht's time and skills to produce
such a map.
The Committee agreed the following colors should be used on the map: blue to depict watar;
dark green to depict park space receiving credit as neighborhood open space; pale grean to
depict the remaining park space; dark yellow to depict school areas receiving credit; pale
yellow to depict the remaining portions of school sites; and red to depict the deficit in each
district. Vanderhoef suggested the size of the deficit spots on the map be in proportion to the
amount of deficit in each district. Cook and Rockwell offered to meet with Hebrecht to
discuss the map.
DISCUSSION OF CONTINUED COMMUNITY EDUCATIONIINVOLVEMENT/SUPPORT
STRATEGIES:
Rockwell said she would be arranging a meeting with Bob Hardy within the next week. She
said Hardy had suggested developing two to three minute video segments to allow each
committee member to present their perspective on the proposed plan. The video pieces could
be tied together and maps could be spliced in. Cook, Bovbjerg, Rockwell, and Trueblood
agreed to meet with Hardy.
SCHEDULING NEXT MEETING DATE:
It was decided the naxt meeting would be held on Wednesday, May 26, 1993 at 12:00 noon.

Because the Committee had not had an opportunity to review the April 28, 1993, minutes, Watson
suggested that the April minutes be considered e! ihe next Neighborhood Open Space Plan
Committee meeting. The Committee agr6ed.
DISCUSSION OF PRESENTATION OF PLAN:
Watson reported on the endorsement of the Neighborhood Open Space Plan by the Parks and
Recreation Commission at lis May 12, 1993, meeting. He expressed dlsappolntmenfthat the vote
\Vas not unanimous. One Commissioner abstained to avoid a conflict of Interest with clients of
his firm. Another Commissioner felt from a developer's perspective, he was compelled to vote
no. Watson said that he was surprised, because nellher Commissioner had expressed negative
comments on the plan prior to the May 12, 1993, meeting.
Cook responded that he had heard similar concerns expressed. He felt It was not going to be
possible to bring everyone on board, but thought there were some effective ways to address the
Issues as they were raised. Bovbjerg stated that It was not good Commission work to walt five
months after receiving a plan for review to make negative comments. Watson didn't feel that It
was a well.reasoned argument to say that no one wanted to develop In Iowa City, because there
were too many hoops to jump through, and the plan would be one more barrier to development
In Iowa City. Bovbjerg said she had heard that from people, but when she talked to them about
It, they realized there was no substance to their argument. Watson pointed out that there were
developers who were asking to be annexed Into Iowa City.
Cook agreed It would have been better to have heard the criticism upfrontln the process, but he
fell the comments should be laken seriously. He thought the Commltlee needed to listen to what
people have to say, see If something can be learned from It, and perhaps Improve the plan. He
suspected from comments he had received at two community organization meetings that the two
Commission members' views were probably not unrepresentative of certain sections of the
community. Rockwell anticipated Ihatthese views were likely to come up at the Council level.
Watson said yes, the Committee needed to be ready for It.

Watson asked how the presentation had gone at the Planning and Zoning Commission. Cook
said there had been no comments made by P&Z members at the May 17,1993, meeting, so he
assumed silence as assent. BovbJerg noted that the Commission had set the public hearing on
the Neighborhood Open Space Plan for June 3, 1993. She hoped that the public hearing would
be well publicized.
Cook called the Committee members' attention to the map prepared by Fred Hebrecht. He asked
them to look at It with a Jaundiced eye, and think of It In the perspective of the concerns
expressed about the plan so the Committee could come up with better ways of presenting the
plan. Watson said In light of that, perhaps It would be best to take time to carefully prepare the
presentation to Council. In response to a question from Watson, Rockwell stated that the plan
would probably be presented to Council by the Committee members as had been done when the
Historic Preservation Plan was presented to the Council.
Rockwell mentioned that the Riverfront and Natural Areas Commission endorsed the
Neighborhood Open Space Plan at Its May 19, 1993, meeting. She said that d~r!ng the
Commission's discussion, there emerged the Idea of having an action plan. Thll action plan
would not be part of the Comprehensive Plan, which Is Intended to Iden!!~i ine goals, definitions
and criteria of the Neighborhood Open Space Plan. The ordinance would be drafted to Implement
those goals, but the action plan could be used to set specific priorities and to target particular
properties and resources for neighborhood open space. She said that Appendix A could provide
the basis for an action plan.
BovbJerg felt it would not be appropriate to set priorities In the Comprehensive Plan. She noted
that circumstances can change; opportunities can arise. More flexibility Is needed than can be
accommodated If specific details are locked Into the Comprehensive Plan. Rockwell said the
Comprehensive Plan provides a basis for evaluating open space needs and opportunities. It
provides guidelines and assumptions that can remain steady over time. The particulars will
change, and would perhaps be best managed through a strategic planning process.
Vanderhoef noted that If the few dollars generated by the hoteVmotel tax were spread out to take
care of the needs of the entire community, Including the developing areas, there would be an
entirely different plan to put In place. She said there cannot be a complete plan until the
Committee knows whether there will be dedication of land or fees In lieu of land for the
developing areas. Watson stated that Is what the ordinance would specify. He said our answer
should be yes, there does need to be a five year action plan, or a one or two year operating plan,
to prioritize and allow flexibility of Implementation. He said first, however, the Neighborhood Open
Space Plan needed to become part of the Comprehensive Plan to provide guidelines, and then
the ordinance to Implement those guidelines should be adopted. Cook agreed that the plan
should spell out the general criteria to use to evaluate specific open space needs and proposals.
Rockwell mentioned that at the Riverfront and Natural Areas Commission as well as at other
organizational meetings, the concern had come up about the Impossibility of resolving some
neighborhood open space deficits, for example, the Bowery area. She said there seemed to be
a strong feeling that the City would be locked Into totally eliminating all neighborhood open space
deficits no matter what It took to do It. She thought Watson had responded with a good
explanation: that this particular population of young, mobile adults In the Bowery area had the

means to get to community parks or to the Recreation Center. Watson Indicated that If this
concem was raised at the Council level, the Committee members could point out the
demographics of a neighborhood needed to be considered; trying to build a playground In the
Bowery area would not serve the open space needs of a majority of Its population.
Rockwell noted that the formula gives a base, but the specific needs of each neighborhood need
to be considered. Cook thought that Appendix A did a nice Job of explaining that concept, but
he was concemed that It was not being translated In a practical way on the map. Cook said he
would like to see the comments rather than the formula displayed graphically on the map. He
polntad out that the College Green area shows a deficit of three acres, and except for College
Green Park, most of that area Is already built up. He stated that the map showing deficits Is
Indicating that the Committee wants to see another block and a half of parkland In that area, but
In the comments the Committee Is saying something entirely different; that there wl11 probably be
enough open space given the demographics of the area.
Bovbjerg responded that there was a danger In trying to prioritize at this point In the process
either through the use of numbers or a color code. She said that a larger deficit did not
automatically mean that a neighborhood would have a higher priority. That would not reflect
reality. She thought that anyone who tried to prioritize using the map would be shortchanging the
process. Watson thought the map should be kept as simple and symbolic as possible with the
details being spelled out In the plan. He said the text of the plan Is very carefully worded, and
could not be duplicated on the map. Cook expressed his concem that people would not take the
lime to read the plan, but would evaluate it on the basis of the map.
Bovbjerg suggested that the priority circles be removed from the map. Rockwell noted that Bob
Hardy had recommended that as well. In terms of the IV presentation, Hardy had said the map
should be kept as simple as possible. Hardy also wamed against using several dark colors to
delineate different points, because colors like dark blue, purple and black tend to merge together
on the IV monitor. Hardy suggested, for example, that the ouUlnes for the neighborhood areas
be In red, and the rivers and tributaries In light blue ouUlned In black. Rockwell pointed out that
the draft map had a large number of lines In dark colors, which on IV would become an
Indistinguishable maze.
In ,Bsponseto a question from Bovbjerg, Rockwell stated that Karin Franklin had suggested that
the future neighborhood greenways and parks could be shown on an overlay; a general concept
plan of green bands and bubbles. Bovbjerg said an overlay would be very good In that way; it
would not suggest that the decision had been made concemlng trail and park locations, but would
generally show potential open space for neighborhood consideration. Rockwell agreed that It was
Important not to lose the concept of greenways and parks, but It was also critical not to give the
Impression that something was going to be imposed on the community that had not been
thoroughly Investigated.
Cook posed his concem about the potential of a Council member reading the plan, and then
using certain deficit numbers to discredit the entire plan. He thought there were a few anomalies
that could be adjusted so the Committee's chances of selling the plan would be improved.
Watson responded that the deficits are Intended as guidelines; they are arrived at by a formula
that Is fairly and consistently applied to each neighborhood. He continued that after the deficit

Is arrlved at, other factors need to be considered, such as the demographics of the neighborhood,
what greenways and parks are adjacent to the neighborhood, and so on.
Bovbjerg stated that If a concern Is raised, the Committee should be prepared to respond: We
realize this Is a concern, but this is our thinking." She advised that the deficit circles be removed
from the map; the map should show what Is there now.. neighborhoods, schools and parks.
BovbJerg said she would rather have comments raised coming from the words In the plan than
from the graphics of a map. Vanderhoef recommended that Appendix A have an Introduction that
sets forth the criteria used to evaluate open space needs for a neighborhood; list the factors used
to prioritize without having a priority listing as part of the plan. She said the Committee could
respond, yes, there Is a deficit, but the following factors offset that deficit.
Trueblood noted that at the neighborhood meetings, people were asked to read the comments,
not just look at the deficit numbers. Cook felt the Committee was sending mixed signals.
Vanderhoef said these were the things that would be discussed when It came down to deciding
how to spend Parks and Recreation dollars. Cook thought the map should reflect the comments;
that few people would actually read the plan, but would rely on a map for their Information about
the Neighborhood Open Space Plan. Bovbjerg said the Committee had wrestled with the
numbers, and decided that there needed to be some kind of base. She noted that the numbers
were not a judgment In themselves, but there were other criteria and opportunities that needed
to be considered. She believed the deficit numbers were not going to drive park acquisition, but
would simply give one piece of Information. She added that to be simplistic about It and not give
consideration to other factors would be unfair to both the neighbors and the developers.
Watson stated that the Committee had talked about using color shading on the map to show only
the actual credit given to existing parks and schools. Rockwell said that would be possible. For
example, the Committee had talked about Improving the entranceways to Hickory Hili Park for
neighborhood use. Those areas could be shown In bright green with the remainder of Hickory
Hili Park shown In a light grey/green color. The same technique could be used for the schools.
Trueblood understood Cook's point about people looking at the map and questioning a deficit In
the Hickory Hili Park area. He noted, however, that residents from that area had come to the
Parks and Recreation meeting the previous month to request that playground equipment be
Introduced Into Hickory Hili Park, and that a small park be established north of Hickory Hili Park.
Watson said It was not up to the Committee to decide the priorities. He felt the Committee was
charged with coming up with a plan that shows the deficits, the neighborhood boundaries, etc.
Cook stated that It would be dlfllcult to present the plan in that manner. Bovbjerg and Watson
responded that If a question comes up, answer It honestiy and directly. Vanderhoef agreed, and
stated that now was not the time to change the criteria the Committee had established.
In response to Cook, Bovbjerg stated that the formula does not provide the conclusion, It gives
the starting point. She said the conclusion comes after consideration of demographics, distance,
access, suitability, availability. Cook asked why the conclusions could not be shown on the map.
Bovbjerg said It shouldn't be done at this stage, because It would result In graphically portraying
a prlorltlzatlon, which she did not feel was appropriate for the Committee to do as part of the
Comprehensive Plan. Watson and Vanderhoef agreed that the deficit numbers were not the be
all and end all of the plan, but should be used as guidelines.

Cook asked if that point was emphasized enough in the written comments. Watson and BovbJerg
pointed out the paragraph in the text of the plan that 'the formula was used to obtain a baseline
assessment of the open space needs of each district, but was evaluated with some flexibility In
response to the differences In neighborhood population characteristics, open space suitability In
terms of location and accessibility, and the Inherent environmental resources or restrictions within
each district.' Vanderhoef stated that adding an explanatory paragraph listing the criteria as an
introduction to Appendix A would also clarify the Committee's position with respect to the formula.
,
Cook said then the dellcit and surplus numbers should be removed from the map; that the
numbers are considered a preliminary analysis, not the final product. Watson thought the only
things that should appear on the basic map would be the major features of the City and outlines
of the neighborhoods. Everything else should go on an overlay. He had a problem with showing
the trails as a given, because he felt It would distract people from the plan by giving that kind of
detail on the map. Rockwell commented that trails that are integral to a neighborhood or can be
used by a neighborhood to access parkland, and small neighborhood parks could be shown
generally on a concept plan overlay. She mentioned that Hardy had recommended showing
future open space in a light color with the boundaries shown as dashed lines. BovbJerg
suggested having more than one overiay.
Watson emphasized that neighborhoods should be the focus; the plan should show how the
people In the neighborhoods will be served. BOvbJerg thought that kind of emphasis would be
good In that people would start thinking about their own neighborhood and the kind of open space
needed there. Rockwell noted the Upper Ralston Creek Neighborhood meeting being held on
Monday, June 7, 1993, at7 p.m. at Hoover School, and Invited the Committee members to attend
and share their perspectives. The Committee decided to set the next Committee meeting date
. for June 9, 1993, at noon In the PCD Conference Room.
Cook stated that he should make his feelings known that trails should be shown on the map.
Rockwell commented that as long as they were Integral to a neighborhood and served a
neighborhood open space need, that would be appropriate. Cook said throughout the process,
It had been defined as a two.pronged plan. Rockwell agreed that both trails and parks that
served a neighborhood need should be considered part of the plan. She questioned showing
community trails, particularly through the areas over which the City had no Jurisdiction.
BovbJerg stated that the confusion was not one of conviction that trails are important, but a
question of showing what Is versus what can be. It was more a matter of presentation, not of
conviction or philosophy. Vanderhoef said the Committee was committed in the verbiage of the
plan to trails; that was not a problem. Bovbjerg suggested presenting simple words, simple
progress and simple pictures to show what the plan means. She said If too much was presented
at one time, It would be overwhelming, and people would say no. Vanderhoef said If the trails
were presented In speclflc detail on the base map, people would focus on what is in their back
yard. The Committee agreed that this type of information should go on an overiay or a series of
overlays to be shown as part of a general concept plan, and that the base map should be kept
very simple.

CITY OF IOWA CITY
Clara Oleson
721 N. Van Buren St.
Iowa City, IA 52245
Dear Clara:
The City Council during their annual budgat review considers requests for funding from
numerous agencies. Many are very detailed, such as our Aid to Human Service Agencias
others are not. The financing for ICAD is rooted in early decisions concerning economic
developmant. Around 1985 the City Council agreed to a $200,000 five-year commitment,
payable in $40,000 increments to ICAD. After the first five-yaar period had lapsed, the
Council again considered its participation in ICAD. Funding for this organization was also
increased and is part of the annual review procass.
The primary emphasis for public funding, I believe, is to assure a financial foundation by
governmental agencies and additional private financing to make up any difference. The ICAD
board and staff routinely pursue private funding.
The City of Iowa City, in the early yaars of ICAD, paid its share of ICAD funding from
available Urban Devalopment Action Grant funds. The contribution is now from the General
Fund. The City of Coralville, Johnson County, numerous smaller communities, all cQntribute
as members of this organization. Originally the University of Iowa paid the salary of tha ICAD
executive as a part of its contribution to ICAD support. With Ray Muston's departure, that
salary became a requirement of tha ICAD Board and budget.
ICAD provides an annual budget proposal as well as audit. This information is not
dramatically different from what you received from the ICAD staff. It is reviewed by the ICAD
board with the assumption of public and private funding in sufficiant amounts to cover
expenses. Policies are determined by the ICAD Board of Directors.
Sincerely,
.

Dear Mr, Willard:
I enclose as a follow-up to our June 7 letter a copy of the article appearing in yesterdays
Press.Citizen. As we had feared, our city manager, Steve Atkins, has apparently suggested
that the public not be included in the environmental assessment process Wltil after the EA
has been drafted, We ask you to do evel)'thing that you can to have the process opened up
immediately to all concerned.
Mr Atkin's assertion in the newspaper article to the contrary, our neighborhood
association is happy to talk with anyone at anytime about this or any other matter affecting.
our comm uni ty.
Truly yours, .

Dear Mr. Knorr:
,

I

In your recent letter, you asked that I review your opinion of what you believe to be a basic flaw
In the City waste policy. As you indicated in your correspondence, you personally change the 011
In your automobile, accumulate the waste 011 over a period of a year and dispose of the 011 at the
City drop-off site. You also Indicated, In the past years you would take It to a filling station but
have been advised that the 'City takes care of that', according to your filling station proprietor.
I believe the greatest flaw In the disposal of waste 011 products rests In the very statement of the
filling station attendant. I do not see a flaw In City policy but a failure by the private sector to fulfill
or at least share In this responsibility.
The state legislature and the federal government have required operators of landfills to be
responsible for disposal of waste - a responslb1l1ty we accept. They have also stated by law
that certain wastes cannot be landfllled. If the private market chooses to not be responsible for
packaging or after use of products, public expectation Is such that they will seek out other options.
That responsibility falls on the shoulders of a local government In our case, as operator of a
landfill, The purchase of 011 and the disposal of waste ollis but one example. The state law does
not permit the disposal of waste 011 In landfills, and therefore, the private market abdicates any
responsibility, and waste collectors (City) are expected to offer alternatives. These alternatives
appear to be that the City will be responsible for collecting waste 011 at taxpayer expense. In
order to accomplish this, we allempt to create the most environmentally conscientious
circumstances and stili allow the general pUblic the greatest opportunity for use of a publicly
financed disposal system, Iowa City chooses to offer such alternatives, other cities often do not.
We have worked very hard to try to find a means to accommodate what I believe to be a serious
flaw In state and federal law and policy, not only with respect to waste 011, but batteries and other
products that require local governments and landfill operators to assume responsibility for disposal
rather than having the private market bear the burden for their after use products. Please note
your filling station or other sellers of 011 products could participate In a similar process and take
back the 011 from Its customers and sell to a private vendor If they would so choose, They choose
not to,

I recognize It may be Inconvenient for some people to place 011 In separate containers, but If we
were to allow the large drum you propose the simple mishandling of the 011 by one Individual In
effect ruins It for all others wanting to use the drop-off site for 011 disposal. If the 011 Is
contaminated It must be disposed of in a fashion that Is far more costly to the City.
I strongly disagree with your comment that the City bureaucrats are, In effect, to blame. We have
attempted to undertake a program that would allow you to find a location to dispose of your 011.
We have been successful to date In that our citizens have utilized the waste 011 disposal drop-off
with separate containers. I have received no other complaints about the 011 disposal system. In
fact, I received several recent compliments at a service club, In that the City had helped out
people who did not know what to do with their waste 011. As an environmentally conscientious
person, you Indicate why should you be 'punished by the City'. I do not believe we are punishing
you. We are affording an opportunity to dispose of waste 011 In a responsible fashion without
contaminating all other 011 and thereby causing Increased costs to be passed on to everyone else.
We certainly have sufficient plastic containers that could be made available to you for your used
011. I recognize It may be somewhat of an Inconvenience for you to change your 011 In this
fashion, however, I believe that all other users of the 011 drop-off site should not be
Inconvenienced by Increasing costs for potentially contaminated waste 011.
I appreciate you taking time to write and express your opinion: however, I cannot accommodate
your request.
Sincerely,
I

Attention: City Manager Steve Atkins
Dear fir, Atkins:
I would like to drat" your attention to lihat is in my opinion a
baeic flaw in the City~s waste pOlicfy,
I do the oil changes of my car myself and collect the old oil in a barrel,
This oil is cisposed of about once every year. In the previous years I
took it to a filling station, but this is no longer possible, They say
now I the City takes care of that, Now tTh~t does the City do? \1hen I
wa~ed to unload my old oil at the City waste station, there was no container
to put my oil into, I took back my oil and called the administrative office
of the City, I was told, I have to pack#age ny oil in one gallon con-
tainers and if I do not do that - that is,~Y own problem! Should I con-
cluder if th~ity burocrates get into it, things get worse? I do not have
surplus plastic milk containers because lie buy our milk frOr:1 the )loss dairy,
So the environmentlly conscious people get punished by the City?
I su~r.est the followt.ne solution I the City putp big container on
the site, so people can get rid of their old oil,
Thank you much for your attentionl

4. Melrose Questions. ~ Issues and the CUlleights Feb. 15 Open MeetiD}
UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, Iowa. CUHeights City Councilor Don Yarbrough chaired
an open public meeting of 'the CUHeights City Council providing an opportunity
for citizens to express their views on:
1. the Iowa City plan to build a four-lane Melrose Avenue Bridge; and,
2. the Feb. 8, 1993 the CUHeight CCounci 1 resolution not endorsing the
four-lane Melrose Bridge plan and calling for an environmental impact statement
as part of the planning process for the Melrose Ave. Bridge project (MASP).
The open meeting was attended by 65 people from CUHeights, the Melrose
Comnuni ty of Iowa Cl ty and officers of the Melrose Avenue Neighborhood ASSOCla-
tlon. Among the questions raised, issues discussed and questions and lssues
arising as a result of the meeting were the fOllOWing:
. 1. Melrose Four-Lane Decision. Why and how did Iowa City arrive at the
decislon to design a four-lane Melrose Avenue Bridge rather than a two-lane or
three-lane bl:idge? What consultation occurred among and between Iowa City,
CUHelghts, U-Iowa, UI-Hospltals, and resldents of CUHeights and the Melrose
Comnuni ty of Iowa Cl ty?
I 2. Community Development Planning. Ha ve and if they ha ve, why and how
and when and whe~e have Iowa City, U-Iowa, 'am UI-Hospitals and Clinlcs under-
taken planning and design without advise, consultation, or involvement of the
Clties of Coralville and UHelghts and/or Melrose Comnunity residents?
. 3. Melrose Categorical Exclusion. Why'and how was a categorical exclu-
sion (release, waiver) from comucting an environmental impact statement gl ven
to Iowa Clty for the four-lane Melrose Avenue Bridge Project by the Iowa
Department of Transportation and the U.S. Federal Highway Administration?
I 4. Arterial Street Plan of JC-COG-KPO. What are the roles, functions,
and authorities invested in the Artenal Street Plan of JC-COG-MPO (*) that
identihes "deficiencies"? Did the Arterial Street Plan influence I-DOT or
~S. Fff~ in granting categorical exclusion to Iowa City for the MASproject?
(*) (JC-<:OG-Mro = Johnson County Council of Governments (Metropolitan Planning
Orgamzation) required by the U.S. FHWA. ]
I 5. Operation of JC-coG-KPO. Has any action by the Ci ty of Uni versi ty
Heights ln relation to JC-COG-Mro and its Arterial Street Plan or Amendments to
the ASPlan endorsed in any way a four-lane or five-land Melrose Avenue and/or
four-land Melrose Bridge Plan plan leading to, through or from CUHelghts?
I 6. Melrose Routing by IC-UI-UIHC. Are signs, written instructions, and
routings by Iowa City, U-Iowa and UI-Hospitals funneling traffic toward and
onto Melrose Avenue rather than routing around Melrose or using alternatlves
traffic routes? If there are, why and how were routes selected?
I 7. Melrose Traffic Counts. Why and how have traffic frequency counting
methods been selected, traffic frequency been counted, or traffic frequency
projections been made by Iowa City 'or other partles for planning and construc-
tion that impinges on CUHelghts and the Melrose Comnunity wlthout consulting
the CUHeights or the MelrosecIC?

l\nswer i L The Four-[ane Melrose Decision:
One question was, l~hy and how and who initiated planning for a four-lane
Melrose Bridge." City Councilor of Iowa City Naomi Novick, who attended the
meet1ng on an informal basis 1n the interest of provid1ng assistance to CU-
Heights and the Melrose Conununi ty in Iowa Ci ty, said that the Ci ty Staff of
Iowa City had recommended the four-lane plan and desig~
IC Asst. City Engineer Denny Gannon, who attended formally representing
Iowa Clty; said that his IC Engineenng Di vislon had drawn up the four-lane
Melrose Bridge plan based on the instruction of the Clty Council of Iowa City;
but, that he could not comment on planning because planning was aaninistered by
Iowa City Department of Planning and Community Development.
According to Iowa City records and docllll'ents, the June 1987 consultation
report by the NNW, Inc. company of Iowa City included a recommendation that the
Melrose Avenue Bridge be a "four lane bridge." This recommendation was made
from aIIXlng four options that were considered related to associated roads. The
Iowa Ci ty Public Works/Engineering Staff supported the NNW, INc. reconunenda-
tion.
The NNW proposal was reconunended to the IC C1ty Council by IC Public
Works/Engineering staff; and, the recommendation was accepted by the Iowa City
City Council on Marcb 17, 1992 at a work meeting. Initiation of the four-lane
Melrose Avenue Bridge Project design was the result.

L .!:!m. Requires - Iowa City City Manager Atkins Reports, "Melrose Assessnent
Requued by I-oot' - New Countdown to Spring 1994 Expressway Decision
lIMA CITY (IC), Iowa, City Council. At the Iowa City City Council Meeting
on Mar. 16, 1993, Tues., IC Ci ty Manager Steven J. Atkins reported a verbal
message from the Iowa Department of Transportation (I-DOT) stating, "I-DOT
indicates \..e [Iowa 'City] must perform an envirol1l1'ental assessment on the pro-
posed Melrose [expressway] Project." IC-CCouncilor Randy Larson said, "So,
those letters changed the facts [of whether or not Environmental Assessment
Studies are required?]",
On Mar. 17 Atkins said "the I-DOT received correspondence from Congress-
man Leach (1), the nelghborhood, and others" leading to reSCinding "Iowa Clty's
Melrose Project envirol1l1'ental clearance."
Atkins will get a cost estimate for the assessment (2) to submit to City
Council. To qualify for U.S. FIMY funds, the required I-OOT/U.S. FfMA enVlron-
mental assessments could take up to a year to provide. Atkins said, '~lth that
type of SChedule [one year] lt is' unlikely that we could do any construction
earlier than the April 1, 1995 construction season." (3)
-(1) See article "2," below, on the I-DOT letter to. U.S. Rep. Leach.
(2) An "Envlronmental Assessment Study" is a lesser acti VI ty than an
"Environmental Impact Statement,''' An assessment may be a final step ln the
process; or, may lead to a fuller impact-evaluatlon-of_al ternati ves process. A
future Bulletin will descnlle "assessment" and "impact" roles/functions.
(3) The New Countdown Schedule: Hay 311, 1994 or earlier is a l1kely
decision date on 2-lane "Melrose Av" or 4-lane "IC-UI-UH-JCCOG Expressway."

2. I-IlOT/U.S. Rescinds - U.s. Rep. JlID lmlch M.A.N.A. Inquiry to I-IlOT Yields
Rescllxlation of Iowa City's Categorical Exclusion/EnvirolllEntal Clearance
WASHINGTON, D.C. and DES MOINES, Iowa. Iowa Clty's Congressperson, U.S.
First District Representative Jim Leach, heard an appeal by the Melrose Avenue
Neighoorbood ASSoc1at1on on Feb. 11, 1993 during h1S open PUblic meeting in
Iowa C1tYi 1n turn, Leach wrote on Feb. 19, 1993 to the Iowa Department of
Transportation (I-DOT) asking abOut the I-DOT and U.S. Federal Highway Adminis-
tratlon (U.S. FIMA) Categorical Exclus1on/Envi.ronmental Clearance "concerning
the proposed [4-lane] bridge and [4-lane] street widening project on Melrose
Avenue in Iowa Clty."
On March 10, 1993 the Director of the Iowa Department of Transportat10n,
Darrel Rens1nk, wrote Congressperson Leach covering the following poInts:
1. [Delay] noted that "At its March 1 meeting, the [Iowa City] City
Council decided to temporarily delay the WIdening project for Melrose Avenue in
order to gather more information."
2. [Rescind] stated that "oased on recent developments and ci tizens'
concerns, the DOT's Office of Local Systems will recommend to [the U.S.] FHWA
that the previously approved categorical exclUSion/environmental clearance for
the project be resc1nded."
3. [Assessment] stated that "granting a categorical exclusion had meant
that the federally funded project could have been undertaken without completing
a detailed environmental or historical impact assessment."
4. [Four Alternatives] stated that "the DOT's recommendation to FHWA ...
will include a request for concurrence 1n the requirement for Stud1es of at
least four al ternat1 ves:
a. "Take no action b. "Repair the existing bridge.
c. ''Construct a new two-lane bridge. d. "Construct a new four-lane bridge."
5. [Environmental, HistOric, Transportation] stating, that "The studies
wlll 1nclude environmental assessments am the impact on historical properties,
and must be coordinated with long range transportation planning activities of
the metropolltan planmng organizat1on [MPO/JC-COO]."
3. H.A.N.A. Rallies for Fourth Time in 20 Years; Urges E-Impact Statement
l\ddressiD;J Needs of Patients, Staff, Sttdents, Pacu1 ty anj Residents
MELROSE AVElIDE, Iowa City, Iowa.. The Melrose Avenue Neighborhood Associa-
tion has resurrected itself for the fourth time in 20 years but wi th the same
historic aim: protect tbe Melrose Communi ty from an expressway which wi 11
deleteriously downgrade/impact the comnunity-life, envlIonment, health, his-
tory, personal 1nvestment, safety, and Visual/aesthetics of West Iowa City.
M.A.N.A.'s volunteers work evenings and weekends analysing and
evaluating 20 years of closed-door, full time, paid staff and consultant ex-
pressway plans by City of Iowa C1 ty, UIowa, UI-Hospi tal and JC-Coo.
M.A.N.A. volunteers are evaluating the expressway's impact on the inter-
ests of all hospital-medical-dental patients am staff, all UI students and
faCUlty, all athletes, coaches and fans, and comnuters, the children, families,
residents, seniors, walkers, cyclists, joggers'of Melrose and West Iowa City.
19700 to 1990s. According to Leola Bergmann; 124 Grand Avenue Court,
M.A.N.A. was act1 ve in opposing the quick fix, easy solution, ruinious expt'ess-
way in 1974, 1976-77, and 197B-79. This is M.A.N.A.'s fourth life.

1. Iowa-5HS Flip.ll'lops on Historical Clearance; Facts of Four-r.ane Plan
For 'lboroughfare Not Presented When "Melrose Bridge Concept" Paviewed
DES KOI!lBS, Iowa. The Iowa State Historical Society first approved the
Melrose four-lane bridge project for environmental clearance on July 28, 1992
but upon reeei ving "new information" reconmended the matter be "re-opened" on
Feb. 26, 1993 leading in part to action by the Iowa Department of Transporta-
tion in rescindin;; Iowa City's environmental clearance."
Approval. An ''historical impact" assessment request was made by Randall
B. Faber of the Iowa Department of Transportation. On July 28, 1992 the Iowa
State Historical Society Archeologist Kathy Gourley stated, "... we reconmend
project approval..." for the proposed four-lane Melrose Bridge Project.
This "approval" formed part of the basis of the Iowa DOT and U.S. Federal
Highway Administration award of a Categorical ExclUSion/Environmental Clearance
to Iowa C~ty for the Melrose four-lane bridge project. However, the proposed
1994-21J44 four-lane bridge is actually the critical first step in the construc-
tion of a ~ four-lane thoroughfare with various environmental impacts.
Iowa City apPlan. The Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan was adopted
formally on Dec. 15, 1992 by the Iowa City City Council. The plan was prepared
at a cost of about $31J,1J1J1J durin;; 1991-92 by Historical Preservation COnsultant
Marlys Svedsen. The HPPlan contains strategies for historical preservation
including preservin;; neighborhoods and includin;; reservi Melrose Neighborhood,
per se. But, the HPPlan is not an actual restrICt ve ord nance.

The Melrose Avenue Neighborhood 1\ssociation (M.A.N.A.) activity in January
arxl February 1993 stimulated inquiries which in turn caused a review by Iowa
State Historical Sbciety of the Melrose Bridge categorical exclusion/eviron-
mental clearance on environmental impact.
I-SHS Reversal. On Feb. 26, 1993, Lowell J. Soike, Ph.D., Historian,
Bureau of Historic Preservation, Iowa State Historical Society, wrote, "A
second look at this undertaking leads us to issue two additional comments, the
effect of which suggests that project review be re-opened ... First... the
bridge no may have an adverse effect on nearby properties no [re] no Nation-
al Register of Historic Places... Second... the Ci ty's actions will need to
satisfy the requirements of Iowa Code 314.24 ... avoid hiRtoric si tes if rea-
sonable alternatives are available ....
"l\dditional review of this project is further warrented ... as a result of
the recent completion of the Iowa ~ Historic Preservation Plan ... singles
out [identifies] no NeighboriiOOd lli ~ Side:. Melrose ....;0-
Just the Bridge. On Mar. 25, 1993, Soike said, "The first time that I-OOT
contacted us about the Melrose Bridge we simply looked at the bridge and
determined whether, or not the bridge was historic. The bridge was not historic
so we signed ~ on the project. We had no information on, nor sense of, the
impact of the project as it would progress with the additional four-lane street
construction. When we were informed of the full implications of the bridge
project, we issued our Feb. 26, 1993 statement."
Public Action. Soike concluded, ''We take these applications on face value
and we recei ve hundreds of them each year. So, it is hard to know when there
is something like the four-lane Melrose street plan associated. Public c:oament
arxl public action provides an opportunity for these issues to be known."
!:. !:. Plaming of Arterial Streets "Will Result in WorllEl Congestion,"
Orban aJXl Regional Planner: Jim 'lbrOCJlOOrtolI of 1II~1anning
INTERVIEW: ~ ~ Throgmorton, Associate Professor, Graduate program in
Urban arxl Regional Planning, University of Iowa, Iowa City, lA, Mar. 23, 1993.
BUlletin: What can residents expect?
ThrOlJlIlOrton: Even with Iowa City's solutions to traffic problems such as
Melrose, Kirkwood, Scott Boulevard, Southeast Bypass, traffic congestion will
worsen. It is as if Iowa City is planning to make things worse. But, Iowa City
would respond saying the widenings and improvanents will serve to make things
better than they would be in the absence of those improvements.
Mletin: Mlat is the basis of IC' s planning?
Throgmorton: There are four key assumptions made by Iowa City planners:
1. Population will grOWl 2. Population will grow outward spatially with lower
[population] densities; 3. The percent of trips by car versus bus/walk/cycle
will ranain constant; arxl, 4. Vehicle OCCU\"lllCY will ranain constant.
Bulletin: How might progress be made in SOlving the. Melrose problem?
ThrOlJlIlOrton: The people in the neighborhoods might focus on those four
assumptions. But, the neighborhoods can't do it alone; they must work with one
another and with Iowa City to explore ways of developirq Iowa City."

3. UIIeights C~ Coun::i1 llears Shive-Hattety Proposal for a Traffic Study
aIXl Citizen Concerns; Considers lIgeOOa for MeetillJ with IC City Council
UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, Iowa, St. Andrews. The City Council of the City of
Uni versi ty Heights held a special meeting Mar. 25, 1993 to hear an informal
first proposal from representatives of Shive-Hattery Engineering and Architec-
ture, Inc. on a proposed traffic ~t~y in univeristy Heights and to plan for a
joint meeting before May 1993 wi e City Council of the City of Iowa City on
the proposed four-lane thoroughfare. '
$19-15,IlIIII Study. The Shive-Hattery representatives were: Dave Elgin,
Head, Civil Engineering Department-Iowa City; Gerald Riebe, Head of Trans-
portation Department~edar ~pids; and, Richard Augustin, Engingeer~R.
The Shive-Hattety group reported on their current traffic study at West
High School for the Iowa City School District and outlined a possible traffic
study for the Ci ty of Uni vesi ty Heights. The CUHeights study could cost be-
tween $11l,1l1l1l and $15,1l1l1l. The traffic study would seek to determine the traf-
fice flow in CUllights aoo how best to manage that traffic flow.
The Shive-Hattery firm conducteq CUHeights' previous traffic study in
19BIl-198l. The study resulted in: 1. redesign and reconstruction at the
intersection of Golfview, Koser and Melrose;'2. widening of the the intersec-
tion at Melrose and Sunset; and 3. consideration (disapproved) of a traffic
signal at the Go1fview, Koser and Melross intersection.

I
I
coa-ci ty Councilor Don Yarbourgh, who coordinates CUII-CCOuncil's negotia-
tions and liaison with Iowa City City Council, M.A.N.A., and U-H-C-O stated
five issues related to a CUll Traffic Study:
1. Usable Data. Need for current, reliable data on traffic through
Univeristy Heights and analysis of related traffic studies (methods, data)
conducted other institutions in the area;
2. Traffic Control. Goal of keeping traffic I\'Oving on Melrose through
CUIeights without increasing the flow of traffic on Melrose;
3. Pedestrians. High priOrity for pedestrians (children, walkers, cy-
. clists) over cars in traffic planning an::l managanent;
4. Bridge Control. Controling any influnce any traffic study data has on
the number of lanes for the proposed Melrose thoroughfare currently proposed by
Iowa City, UIowa and UI-lIospital - either the bridge or street; and, ,
5. Future CUll Streets. Future street construction needs relative to, for
example, Leamer, Olive and Marietta; and, the need for a bond issue to cover
the costs (''We are frozen at an unrealistically low tax revenue level an::l we
will need to issue bonds to cover future street construction in CUlleights").
Also discussed:
* Iowa Code requires that CUll perform a traffic study prior to install-
ing a traffic light at Golfview-Koser-Melrose, if a signal is desired;
* The Boundaty Claim by Iowa City of land on the west side of the bridge
is not supported by known surveys and is refuted by the fact that the busi-
nesses on that lan::l always paid taxes to CUIIeights, never to ICity;
* !!! No-Vote ~~ Cardinal Road by CUII-City Counci1o~ Gloria Jacobson
representing CUlleights at Johnson County Counci 1 of Governments (JC~OG);
* Melrose Traffic ~ Data Discrepancies cited by by M.A.N.A. Co-
President Michaelanne Widness,-r.e., announced traffic counts of Melrose re-
sults by agencies such as 1-001' and UIowa range from '/,81111 to 15,111111;

AI ternati ves to the Proposed Iowa Ci ~-UIHospi tal Thoroughfare:
~!t 'lbe 1Ie19lJD, Weber, Hawkins, Good, an:! NJrthest Passage Options
Series: This is the first in a series of articles on alternatives to the
~ Ci~-UIHospita1 Thoroughfare. For decades professional architects, engi-
neers and planners with Iowa Ci~, Ulowa, UIHosptial and JC-COG have dictated
building, road and develotxnent plans for comnuni ty and campus at 1l.1rge.
The amateurs of many neighborhoods can provide alternatives and options
using their community values, commons sense, imagination, leisure time and
personal resources. These amateur options may be helpful to planning.
From the West. The options suggested below route UIHospital traffic from
the northwest, west and southwest. They serve UIHospital and preserve two
neighborhoods, Melrose COll\11unity in Iowa City and Ci~ of University Heights.
Traffic Central. A UIHospital "Traffic Central" is created where Hawkins
Drive and Kinnick Stadium Lane meet. At Traffic Central drivers may go to a
series of parking sites and hospital entrances (additional parking and entran-
ces are also located in back of the hospital).
Te1ecom*USA Hap. Readers may use the color map of Iowa City in the
Telecom*USA (black cover) telephone book to trace the options cited.
Option 1 - 'rt1e David Be1gun Arterial
Rev. David Belgum, former Mayor of University Heights and UI-Hospital
Chaplain, has reintroduced a 1970s proposal. At Melrose Ave. and Emerald,

bring a four-lane road north around the University Heights and Melrose Commun-
ity to Stadill'1\ Lane to Traffic Central. (See Belgum Letter of Nov. 17, 1993).
Option 2.a. The Irving Weber Railroad Arterial
Iowa City's prE!1lier historian and street plan expert, Irving Weber, pro-
poses that at the intersection of Monnon Trek and the Railroad Line (just south
of Highway 6), bring a new road alongside the railroad cut to the parking lot
to the Kinnick Stadium Lane to Traffic Central.
Option 2.b. The Irving ~ber Railroad Arterial from Max Hawkins ori ve
Come off Highway 6 to Hawkins Drive and make a new road south to the
Railroad Line/cut, follow the new Weber Road to the parking lot, then to
Kinnick Stadium Lane to Traffic Central.
Option 3 - The Stanley Good HOJJOOn-Trek Park-shuttle Systen
Former Unversity Heights City Councilor and UIowa Social Work Faculty
Member Stanley Good proposes that UIHospi tal staff and students use a Mormo~
Trek Parking Lot west of Mormon Trek (south of Hawkeye Aparttents) and Shuttle
to/from UIHospi tal. Staff should share-a-ride to the Mormon Trek lot. The
Park-Shuttle plan would free space at Traffic Central for patients/visitors.
Option 4 - Northwest Passage Arterial Option
This option would bring traffic from the northwest and west to Highway 6,
off Highway 6 directly south to UI-Hospital Taffic Central via:
a. Max Hawkins Drive (a new road direct to Traffic Central),
b. Newton Road (a new section of road to Traffic Central), or
c. Veterans Road (new road through the VA Parking Lot to T-Central).
Readers Ideas ~lcooe:l. Readers are invited to sutmit ideas, proposals and
suggestions on alternatives and options to the IC-UIHospital Thoroughfare.

2. IC-UlHospital Buffer Zone With Melrose Residence, "Classic Case _ Incan-
patible FunctiollS_InaliIuate Buffer Zone,. Orban Planner Karen-countryman
INTERVIEW, March 29, 1993: Karen S. Countrxman, THE COUNTRYMAN GROUP, B.A.,
Master of Urban Planning at New York Universlty, practicing planner since 196B,
regional, county, and city: Westchester County and New York City; Summit
County, Towns of Frisco and Sil ver Thorne, Colo.; and, Southwest Illinois
Regional Planning C'lllI1lission. To contact Ms. Countryman, call 319/354-3749.
Bulletin: Is the distance of UIHosptial from Melrose houses adequate?
Countryman: There is a planning concept called "performance zoning," that
means incompapitable functions such as businesses and residences can be in
proximity to one another if there is an adequate buffer zone between them.
The UIHospital business with cars and ambulances and the Melrose residen-
cies with children playing, pedestrians and cyclists present a classic case in
planning of incompatible functions separated by an inadquate buffer ~.
Bulletin: How does performance zo.ning work in the Melrose situation?
Countryman: The right of way (sidewalks, streets, and buffer areas)
between UIHosptial and the Melrose Avenue' residents. as proposed is very lim-
ited. In order to protect the residents and pedestrians we need wicle sidewalks,
wide areas between the sidwalk and street for plantings, and so on until
pedestrians, especially children, walkers, and,cyclists can walk and ride

The way the Eye Cliniq'and other'buildings are located on Melrose Avenue,
the provision of a sidewalk, four-lanes, and a sidewalk does not allow for an
adequate landscape buffer toseperate the ''business'' from the "residence."
Bulletin: Is there any solution to the performance zoning problem?
Countryman: The primary solutions ,are: 1. to divert traffic off Melrose,
bringing traffic in and taking traffic out by other roadways; and, 2. to
develop some type of service road within the UIHospital complex, which serves
as a feeder to all hospi tal services.
3. IC-ctJHeights BouIXlary. Dispute: Nate ltlore Reports Paying Taxes to
Iowa City for l'!=opertyltlore 0iiIls on west Side of ~lrose Bridge
DNIVERSITY 1lEIGrl'S, Iowa, Melrose Bridge. Nate Moore, former Mayor of tl1e
City of University Heights and owner of the building that houses UHeights's
four comnercial and professional enterprises, stated on March 28, 1993, "I have
been paying property taxes to Iowa City on land I own west of the Melrose
Bridge for many years because that land is in Iowa City."
The Moore statement contradicts the understanding expressed by Ci ty of
University Heights officials at the March 25, 1993, City CouncillOOeting. (See
BUlletin, March 27, 1993, pege 3, "No.3. UHeights City Council.") Officials
of the City of UHeights have considered the ''BoUndary Dispute" to be a signifi-
cant barrier to Iowa Ci ty's plan to build a four-lane thoroughfare starting
with the Melrose Bridge.
The critical question in the dispute is, "Is the land inme<liately west of
the Melrose Bridge in Iowa City or Uni versi ty Heights?" If the land inmediate-
ly west of the existing Melrose Bridge is in the City of University Heights
then Iowa City can not proceed with the construction of the proposed Melrose
Bridge without the City of University Heights agreeing to and signing an Iowa
Code Chapter 28E, Joint Exercise of Governmental Powers agreement. (1) How-
ever, if Iowa Cityowns the disputed land then Iowa City can build the bridge
on that land without a "28E" and without concurrence by the City of UHeights.
, (1) The Iowa Code 28E agreement is an agreement between any two public
authorities (city, county, state, or an Iowa agency with the U.S.) on a joint
acti vity such as an agreerrent for construction or for services. ' ,
The City of UHeights City Council has directed CUH City Attorney Steve
Ballard to investigate the boundary situation. Attorney Ballard had not ren-
dered an opinion to the CUHeights Ci ty CoungJl as of March 25,1993.
4. U-H-C-o and M.A.N.A. Meet: U-H-C-o Plans Traffic Count, Letter Campaign,
~ Raising; aOO, H.A.N.A. Discusses Street Plans, EIS, Legal Options
DNIVERSITY IlEIGI'l'S, Iowa, Melrose Avenue. The Steering Comnittee of the
Universi Heights Comnunity Organization met Sunday, Mar. 2B, at 1124 Melrose
Avenue ( e Gannon Residence), to review their traffice, count project, letter
campaign, and fund raising activities; and, the IOOmbers of M.A.N.A. mat Monday,
Mar. 29, 1993, at 701 Melrose Avenue at the Melrose Day Care Center, Where they
reviewed plans for UI-UIHospital street and construction plans, the need for an
Environmental Impact Statement, and legal options.

A Mandate am A Shield for Iowa City Neighborhoods
"1985 Iowa City Urban fuvirol1lOOntal Policies _ Neighborhoods" (1)
Introduction. This is excerpted from the official "Iowa City Urban Envi-
ronmental Policies ... Neighborhoods ...." The concepts and principles em-
braced by Iowa City serve all neighborhoods as a mandate to maintain, preserve
and enhance the quality of neighborhoods and neighborhood life; and, as a
safeguard and shield from those commercial,. developer, publIC;and private
agencies, institutions and forces which would degrade, demean or destroy the
quality of neighborhoods ~ neighborhood life.
--- * --
"I.C. Urban Environment Policies ... The features which make the Ci ty of
Iowa City such an attractive place to live and work have been identified and it
has been determined that the following elements are of importance when consi-
dering \mat features of Iowa City should be protected and preserved: .
"1. Iowa Ci ty is a very special city combining many of the benefi ts of
small town living with the cultural and recreational opportunities of a large
metropolitan area.
"2. A number of elements both natural and constructed, contribute to the
atmosphere of this community, and it is important to protect and preserve these
elements. . .
"3. These elements include not only natural features but also neighbor-
hoods, scenic vistas, entranceways to Iowa Ci ty, public areas and buildings.
"4. These elements and the interaction between these elements prov ide a
~ of community and integrity to the City and contribute to the general
aestheEIC and visual impression projected by the City.
"5. The econcomic and social welfare of Iowa City is sustained and enhan-
ced by the ~ of comnunity and aesthetic values provided by the natural and
constructed environment. ...
"Buffer Areas and Open Space, Definition and Rationale for Preservation:
Buffers between land uses, such as commercial and residential... serve to
screen one use from another, and help to decrease the adverse affects -- such
as noise, traffic, air pOllution ... policy: It is the policy of the C.I.C. to
preserve and prOlOOte the creation of buffer areas and ~ space ....
"Neighborhoods and Structures, Definition and Ratlonale for Preservation:
Neighborhoods provide familiar surroundings - biiITdngs, places to walk, people
-- a sense of security and community .stability. Neighborhoods may be private
a place where groups of people live; or they may be public... It is within
Iowa CitY's "private" neighborhoods that people find the benefits of small town
living and in the "public" neighborhoods that one can enjoy the diversity often
found in the larger ci ty.
"'II1ere are wi thin Iowa Ci ty historic neighborhoods and structures which
rovide roots for the resident of the neighborhood and perpetuate a legacy of
lstor c, architectural and cultural achievement for all of Iowa City. Some of
Iowa City's neighborhoods and structures, through not historic, provide an
identity ~ their residents which adds to the reside(lts' ~ of well being.
Likewise, there are public places within Iowa City which have become unique
gathering places for the people and add to the entire City's sense of commun-
ity.
"Policy: It is the policy of the City of Iowa City to preserve and
protect the unique att'ributes of Iowa Ci ty's public and 'pri vate neighborhoods,
as identified by the City, for the eneral welfare of the cOlTl11unity at large."

&A/EIS Elements. What are the elerrents that are eligible for an Environ-
mental Assessment or an'Env.ironmental Impact Statement? If the elelments are
limited to endangered species, such as the Spotted 0111, then there is little to
consider in the Melrose-uHeights Environment. Thete are no endangered species
that will suffer from the impact of the IC-lJI-lJIHospital Four-Lane Thoroughfare
from Highway 218/383 to the Iowa Ri ver. Thus, there is no natural/physical
environmental degradaHon as a result of the four-lane thoroughfare.
But, are there hIInan envir01lOOlltal iDpact elements in the Melrose-UHeights
Environment that are elibigle for Environmental Assessment and Environmetnal
Impact evaluation? What are those elements? Hll11Ian environmental language and
concepts are included and used in three relevant documents: the National
Environmental Protection Act of 1969, a 1993 NEPA-DOI Handbook, and the of-
ficial 1985 Iowa C~ty Environmental Policy ... Buffer Areas ... Neighborhoods.
These three documents indicate that there are environmental elements in
the Melrose-UHeights Environment that are "affected environments" and that will
suffer "environmental consequences/degradation."
The "envir01lOOlltal protection" language supports rationale as follows:
1. The Melrose-UHeights area is an environment, "comnunity, safety," etc.
2. There are elerrents in the "M-lJ Environment" that will suffer Environ-
mental Consequences an:! Degradation from an IC-UI-UIH Four-Lane Thoroughfare.
.3. There are elements in the "M-U Enviroment" that are eligible for
Environmenal Assessment an:! Environmental Impact Statement evaluation.
The next questions to be considered are:
1. How many elements and which elements of affected environments and
environmental consequences/degradations should be selected for Environmental
Assessment and Environmental Impact Statement evaluation?
2. What are the criteria for I1'eSsurement of Hll11Ian Affected Environments
and Hll11Ian Environmental Consequences/Degradations in the EA an:! EIS?
3. What human environment Environmental Assessment and Environmental
Impact Statement evaluation experiences (projects) can be identified and used?
4. How may the public (City of University Heights, Melrose Avenue Neigh-
bor~ood Association, an:! university Heights COmmunity Organization) participate
as ci tizen-consumers and advocates for the MelrOse-lllleights Envir01lOOllt?

tary sewers, gas lines, and telephone lines serving the new Eye Clinic, etc.
The poles are moved as far back (to the south) as possible to distance
them away from the sewers while remaining Oil Iowa 'City "right of way."
2. New Melrose Sewers. UIHospi tal must install new sewers for the Eye
Clinic, etc. From Hawkins Drive to Grand the sewers will be located on the
north side of Melrosel between Grand and Byington, they will be installed on
the south side. Installation is expected to start in the sumner of 1993.
3. planning and permission for Melrose. The following questions were

b. Eye Clinic Ramp. When and how will plans for the 1,000 car Eye Clinic
ramp be prepared, discussed publicly, and approved. .
c. Eye Clinic Curb Cut. What procedures have IC-UI-UIH followed in the
past for development and authorization for the curb cut at the Eye Clinic sitel
what procedures are used nOWl and, what procedures wi 11 be used in the future?
4. 197"s and Melrose Court Controversy. M.A.N.A. personnel discussed the

a. Mrs. Helen Brom, 4\19 Melrose Court, has a file (l., the controversy.
b. There will be serious impacts from the Th0~0ughfare on the very narrow
Melrose Court street and its narrow sidew:;lks. There is a safety hazard now
and there will be an unprecedented hazard caused by the four-lane thoroughfare
draining traffic off of and onto Melrose Court.

Iowa Avenue and Linn was converted to a 20-bed hospital for the UI Medical
Dapart.-rent. In 1897-9B the building was razed and the new hospital built at the
same site and dedicated. In later years the building wou.ld become known as
East Hall and finally Seashore Hall.
Westward Hol In 1917 the Ulowa made its first West CamJ?Js land purchase.
UIowa president Jessup named this the ''Westward Hol" rrovement. West Campus was
considered so rE!ll'Ote at that time. The Burlington Bridge was constructed and
an interurban Iowa City Streetcar was provided to meet transportation needs.
Way over on West Campus, the "world ctass" Field House was completed in 1927
and the University Hospital was dedicated in 1928.

Oakdale Campus Option. The UIowa College of Medicine, hospitals and
clinics continued to grow 'and needed more facilities. In the mid-1960s the
Oakdale Campus was proposed as a site for the new.hospital. Oakdale had vast
space for buildings, car parks, and convalescence gardens. Medical facilities
were already located at Oakdale but the Oakdale Campus seemed too far from the
hospitals and the research facilities.
West Campus Options. If Oakdale was too re!OOte there were two sites with
vast space that were close to the campus that could have accoril1lodated the new
hospitals, unlimited space for ramp or lot parking, a heliport area and exten-
5i ve land for landscaping and convalescent use. The sites:
*, Opper Finkbine, site of the UIowa G:llf Course; and,
* Mormon Trek Field, south of the UI Hawkeye Apartments.
The Finkbine or Mormon Trek sit~s would have provided an abundance of
space for the UI Hosptials and Clinics, research, parking, heliport, and land-
scaping similar to that surrounding Hancher Auditorium and the Dental College
Building. A CamBus could deliver people to classes, downtown, or crosstown.
Currently, UIowa's Finkbine is one of 11 golf courses in the area. Fink-
bine could continue as a golfcourse or be 'available when needed as space for
UIowa academic, administrative, athletic, hospital, or other uses.
Stay Put Option. The hospital planners chose to discontinue the ''Westward
Hol" movement by staying put at the 192B site. By 1993 most of the old hospi-
tals and clinics have been replaced by marvelous new facilities. Without
question, the architects, designers, and planners have perforrred a heruclean
task in coliapsing and "imploding" so many clinics, support services, ramps,
and driveways into such a limited space.
After the early decision to "stay !?Jt" the options available to the UIowa
and UIHospital developers were narrowed because of increasing space needs for
of new technology and the fact that UIHospital became a major teaching hospital
in the U.S.
The UIHospital planners have been confronted by one of the most difficult
planning challenges in the history of the University, possibly one of the most
difficult in the State's history. The planners have succeeded in fitting an
enormous number of services, operations, staff and patients into a compact
space in a manner that is both functional and attractive.
Trade Offs. In developing the new hospi tal it has been necessary to trade
the West Campus open space used by students for intramural sports and outdoor
activities Eor hospital buildings; and, to trade the aesthetics of hospital
approaches and open space for ramps and parking areas.
Further, costs and convenience have caused planners to propose trading the
Melrose and UHeights neighborhood' two-lane Melrose Avenue for a four-lane
thoroughfare. However, Melrose and UHeights neighbors are convinced that there
are many alternatives and options 'that can be exercised to:
1. Route staff, patients and services traffic to and from the UIHospital
in a manner equal to or superior to the'current traffic plan; and,
2. Preserve the Melrose-UHeights neighborhood environment; and,
3. Present Melrose-UHeights as an asset to UIowa and UIHospital.

3. Rating the Level of Degradation to the Melrose-lllleights Enviroooent' Caused
by A Four-Lane 'lhoroughfare Using A Ten Point Enviroooental Scale (1)
This scale is for neighbors to use in appraising the impact (anticipated,
actual) of a Four-Lane Thoroughfare on the M-U Environment. The environment is
defined by language used in environmental protection law and policy.
EnviromElltal COnsequences am ElE!lrellts to Be Rated
1. Aesthetic/Architectural/Visual. The appearance of houses, schools, busi-
nesses, landscaping, parks, open space, other physical amenities.
2. Buffer Areas. Seperations of houses-parks-playgrounds-schools FROM busines-
ses (hospital), traffic, COl1ll'erce, manufacturing, etc.
3. Cultural. The small town and rural cOlll\lunity ethic, or spirit, or way of
Ufe in Iowa versus the impersonal, corporate, large city, street way of life.
4. Economics. The value in one's own home versus renting, or operating low
investment, high return multiple occupancy rentals. .
5. Historical. First, homes, etc., listed on the National Registry of Historic
Places; Second, the "oldest house on the street" and unique' houses based on
architecture, building materials, landscaping, former owners, etc.
~ Recreation and Play. Opportunities for children, youth, adults arxl seniors
to play and recreate at home; at parks, fields, and places close to home.
1. Pollution: .Air-Soil-Bound-Water. Absence of deleterious health effects.
8. Safety. For children, youth, adults, and seniors who choose to walk,
cycle, run; work or play/recreate; comnute, shop, etc.
9. Security. A sense of being sheltered, protected from crime, violence, etc.
19. Social ~ Being. A sense of well being, esteem, identity, stability.
Rating Ti.lre Fraoe
You should assume that a Four-Lane Melrose Thoroughfare has been buil t
from Highway 218/3B9 through UHeights, past the UIHospital, fOllowing a Melrose
Diagonal Cut to the Iowa River connecting with the seven-lane Burlington Bridge

Introduction. The U.S. Congress enacted the National Envitonmental !'olicy
Act in 1969 to counteract the envirormental problems caused by "construct now,
take the profits, and wotry 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 El\ or EIS finds adverse consequences the options ~:
* lOOdifify the plan to mitigate or eliminate the negative impact.
* pursue an alternative' plan to get the same result with less damage.
* if mitigation or alternatives are not feasible, then stop the project.
EA and EIS. The aims of the El\ 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 sarre for both the El\ and
the EIS. But, tha EIS does not require a Scoping Meeting (where components are
selected), or publication in the Federal Register, and so on. The El\ is:
* conducted when there is doubt about the need for an EIS with two
possible results:
Result No.1. a EONSI: Finding of No Significant Impact y.ielding an ap-
proval to implement the plan or proposal.
Result No.2. a finding is made that there may be adverse environmental
consequences and then an EIS is required.
* FAs are rev iewed by a "lead [primary] agency" and the U.S. EPA.
* FAs are limi ted to existing information (EIS prepares new infornation).
* . 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 El\ 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 when completed.

Owl G. Courtney, Mayor
City of Iowa City
Iowa City, IA 52240
RE: FY94 contract between Iowa City and Johnson County for SEATS paratransit service.
Dear Mayor Courtney:
This Thursday, June 17, at approximately 9:00 A.M., the Board of Supervisors will discuss
the funding of SEATS service. Certain issues may require longer to evaluate than the two
weeks remaining in Fiscal Year 93. The Board makes the following proposal to resolve the
FY94 contract issue:
I..The JCCOG Transportation Planning Division should proceed to conduct a study of
alternative organizational arrangements for Iowa City paratransit service. This study is
scheduled for August and September, and will allow us to make more infonned decisions
about FY95 paratransit service.
2. The Board of Supervisors agreed to discuss the appropriateness of funding SEATS from the
County general tax levy. This is an arrangement which has evolved over 15 years and
should be evaluated. We do not believe, however, we can have this matter resolved by
July I. We agree to have our investigation completed by September 30, or in time for
FY95 budget discussions,
3. Iowa City agree to a flat fee contract for SEATS service in FY94, based on the budgeted
amount of $291,000. Johnson County agrees to provide the existing level of SEATS
service to Iowa City. Payment for FY94 from Iowa City will be made in 12 equal
installments.
Our understanding of the issue of school district transportation is that it is a matter which must
initially be dealt with by Coralville, Iowa City, and tile Iowa City Community School District.
We would appreciate you notifying us if there are any changes to the existing provision of
service to the school district,

Darrel Courtney, Mayor

Iowa Ci ty, IA 52240
Dear Mayor Courtney,
We received the Cable TV RFP from Iowa City on May 5th. Because
our people have been tied up with trying to comply to all the
recent F.C.C. rule makings, we will not be able to respond to
the RFP by the July 5th deadline. We are therefore, requesting
that the July 5th deadllne.be extended to Sept. 5th. This would
address all of the concerns presented in the RFP.
In talking with Drew Shaffer, it is our understanding that the
city will likely need more than 30 days to evaluate our response.
If this is indeed the case, we would have no problem extending
the 30 day turn around time te whatever the city feels is needed.
In closing, we gratefully acknowledge all the hard work which
has been done with regards to our renewal request, and we look
forward to setting down and negotiating a workable franchise
that will meet the needs of our community.
Sincerely,
TCI Of Eastern Iowa

Re: Oil Contract
We recently bid an oil treatment contract for City streets. This is a routine process that we
annually undertake. There were two bidders. They were L.L. Pelling at a rate of
$O.42/sq. yd., and Municipal Street Improvement Company at a rate of $0.414/sq. yd. From
the bid documents Municipal Street was low bidder. When proceeding to award, representa-
tives from L.L. Pelling complained vigorously about this bid award due to the fact that they
were only slightly more than low bid.
We continue to pursue a policy of the lowest and best bid for our goods and services. You
will recall several years ago we discussed the possibility of a more formal local preference but
met with many stumbling blocks. They included: what is the definition of local, what would
be the percentage difference, how do we respond to the public with respect to our obligation
to pursue the best products at the lowest cost, etc. I remember the Chamber of Commerce
discussing this issue but they too could not provide satisfactory definitions. The issue was
dropped,
Our current policy on local preference mirrors the state law, that is, when everything is equel,
Including cost, local preference can be exercised.

Re: Melrose Avenue Environmental Assessment
The staff has discussed the next step In the pursuit of an environmental assessment and the
process to be undertaken. As I am sure you can appreciate, It Is a difficult task with the many
and varied Interest groups expressing a desire to participate and wish to have their Interests
addressed. Requests are from Interested parties who believe they have a stake In the project
and from agencies which require a Joint work effort with them, particularly If the City Is to utilize
the approximately $850,000 In available state bridge monies.

It was our collective decision that the process of review In this Instance Is as Important as the
ultimate product. Creating opportunities for comment Is an evergrowlng element In your decision
making, often as Important as the technical Information. It Is also one of the most unpredictable
elements and the most difficult to coordinate efforts Into a meaningful process. With the number
of agencies Involved, the process has become overiy fragmented and rule driven, and therefore
It Is difficult to engage our citizens In a process that Is meant to be more than being passive
recipients.

There are many technical Issues which I believe you expect to be addressed In this environmental
assessment, however, there are just as many political questions that will need your consideration.
An element of concern Is the expectation of what an environmental assessment actually Is and
what It can accomplish as far as Information and analysis. Basically, an environmental
assessment reviews selected criteria against various alternatives for a project that Is to be placed
at some point In our 'environment.' New structures and their relationship to the environment are
far more common topics for environmental assessment. Such an example would be the location
of a new Interchange where one did not exist, a new factory where one did not exist, etc. The
circumstances are somewhat different with respect to the Melrose Avenue project In that It already
exists and the question Is whether It should be wider and/or designed In some other fashion to

accommodate community Interests. We will attempt In our work to meet the requests of the
various review agencies, follow their rules, and remain sensitive to the other factors, particularly
our citizen Interest group expectations. As I am sure you can appreciate, the process will be only
as successful as the effort to be falr to specific Interest groups.
In order to proceed, we have drafted a request for proposal for an environmental assessment.
This Is Intended to show the general scope of work to be undertaken. It Is fashioned closely after
the Polk CountylUrbandale project as suggested; however, other factors have been added.
These other factors are critical to the community's understanding of and expectation from this
environmental assessment. We have Incorporated Into the assessment a section which will
require the selected consultant to advise us on the 'Impact on the human and built environment
In the affected area.' We have attempted In this section to review criteria that can be quantifiable
and measured. This can be difficult. Issues such as neighborhood cohesion and Integrity and
the relative Importance of a functional community-wide street network will need to be measured
by the City Council's final decision on the reconstruction of the bridge and the road.
With the draft scope of work/RFP In hand, we believe we can move to the next phase of the
process, that Is the more direct Involvement of Interested parties and those agencies that require
participation.
There appear to be two realistic options: 1) a formal public hearing; and 2) a committee of
various Interested group representatives. We believe the public hearing process would not be
an effective Instrument to achieve active Involvement. Large crowds of Individuals expressing
numerous opinions often do not lead to any type of consensus. Therefore, we would recommend
a community focus group to review the scope of wOrklRFP. This focus group would be made up
of Interested parlles. Those parties could Include:
University of Iowa
University Hospitals
Iowa DOT
Federal Highway Administration
State Historic Preservation Office
City of University Heights
Roosevelt PTO
Benton Slreet residents
Melrose Avenue residents
Congressman Leach
Melrose residents near West High School

The Clly Council can review the group, allowing each to appoint one member. We also believe
the group needs to be relatively small, not more than 15 members, for a productive work
environment If the Council would so choose, you should consider hiring an outside facilitator to
guide the group In their discussion of the scope of work. This focus group gives the City Council
a means to assure public participation, have It done In a fashion that allows for focused debate
and discussion, with the ultimate outcome being more Information to assist In your decision
making.
OJ'
'.
We believe that such a focus group, with a draft proposal to work with, would allow for a
productive discussion. Upon completion of the work of the focus group, the RFP would be
amended by the City Council as you Sf!'.) fit In response to any suggestions from the focus group.
It would be forwarded to FHWA and lOOT for their review/approval and the City would Initiate the
formal process of selecting a consullant.

While this proposal was written assuming an open, competitive selection process, another
alternative would be the Initiation of a negotiated contract wllh selected consultants, previously
approved by federaVstate agencies. The Department of Public Works has expressed preference
for the latter due to time savings, and the process we have chosen may be easier to communi-
cate through negotiations, rather than review of proposals, written communications, etc.

SECTION I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Proposal #
Environmental Assessment for the
Melrose Avenue Street and Bridge Reconstruction
Iowa City, Iowa
Melrose Avenue Is a major east-west street In west Iowa City. At the west city limits of Iowa City,
Melrose Avenue becomes the IWV Road, a major county secondary road extending to west
Johnson County. Near the west city limits of Iowa City Melrose Avenue has an Interchange with
U.S. Highway 218, a section of the National Highway System. Melrose Avenue provides access
to many significant traffic generators, Including residential subdivisions, Iowa City West High
School, University of Iowa family housing, an Iowa City fire station, the City of University Heights,
the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, the University of Iowa Fieldhouse recreational faclllty,
and the University of Iowa College of Law. Melrose Avenue Is a major traffic link for persons
traveling from west Iowa City to the central business district. Average dally traffic volume on
Melrose Avenue was 15,451 when measured In the fall of 1992.
The City of Iowa City has proposed reconstruction of the Melrose AVGnue Bridge over the Iowa
Interstate Railroad, and reconstruction of the section of Melrose Avenue between the Melrose
Avenue bridge and Byington Road. Alternative reconstruction actions have been proposed. The
City Council wishes to have the environmental Impacts of each alternative assessed before
making the decision on the preferred reconstruction alternative. The proposed reconstruction Is
Intended to Improve three functions of Melrose Avenue:
1. The ablllty of motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists to use Melrose Avenue with a higher
degree of safety.
2. The ablllty of Melrose Avenue to function as a major thoroughfare.
3, The ablllty of Melrose Avenue to provide access to major traffic generators, such as the
University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
The proposed reconstruction Is Intended to be sensitive to the residences along the south side
of Melrose Avenue, The City has recommended not modifying the south curb line or ROW line,
Improving storm sewer drainage, and acquiring all property needed for the project from the north
side of Melrose Avenue.
SECTION 11. OBJECTIVE
A. Provide an Environmental Assessment of seven proposed reconstruction alternatives for
the Melrose Avenue street and bridge reconstruction project.

City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
Date:
June 16, 1993
The Honorable Mayor Darrel G. Courtney and Members of the City Council
Unda Newman Gentry, City Attomey
Contractor Registration with Iowa City; Building Permit I formation Request
To:
From:
Re:
Several questions have been raised whether the City Is either obligated, or permitted, to request
that general contractors provide their state registration number when applying for building permits
under the Iowa City Building Code.
More specifically, you have asked whether the City Is obligated to enforce the state building code,
or state unemployment and workers compensation laws, If requested by the State Department
of Labor. You have also asked me to review other city policies and practices with respect to
requiring contractor state registration numbers during the course of the building permit application
process.
SUMMARY
As discussed with you earlier, the major cities have adopted either an Informal or a formal
deparlmental policy or regulation which requireS local contractors to submit their state contractor
registration number on the local building permit application. None of the four major cities
contacted had actually Incorporated this 'contractor state registration number requirement' Into
their city codes. However, Cedar Rapids has adopted an Insurance requirement designed to
protect the City and the cltlzens, and Davenport actually licenses general contractors.
If the Council so chooses, the City may request local contractors to provide their state registration
numbers In the course of applying for a building permit wllh the CIty's Department of Housing and
Inspection Services. As a Des Moines building official stated, It's not any trouble to request this
Information on \he building permit, and 'It's not costing uo anything to do - not at all like
contractor licensing:
BACKGROUND
\
I
\,
\
i
In late April of this year, Patrick Hughes proposed, by way of letter, that the City Incorporate a
state contractor registration requirement as part of the City's local version of the Uniform Building
Code (UBC). In rereading Mr. Hughes' letter, It Is clear Hughes Is not asking us to adopt the
UBC, but rather Is asking the City to adopt a portion of the state building code. It Is the state
building code, Chapter 103A, Code of Iowa, that requires state contractor registration numbers.
In contrast, the UBC does not require such registration numbers.
Attached to Mr. Hughes' letter was a printout of Johnson County contractors who were registered
with the State Department of Labor. I am attaching a copy of Mr. Hughes' April 1993 letter, but
not the prlntout- which you have already received and which numbers 18 pages. A cursory
review of \hIs list reveals many names familiar to the Iowa City area. After receiving Mr. Hughes'
April letter, you requested that I contact other cities who had allegedly Incorporated the contractor
registration requirements Into their own local code or rules.

At the next City Council meeting May 11, 1993, Mr. Charles Sirna, of the Iowa Department of
Labor, OSHA Division, appeared at the meeting, requesting that you monitor local contractors to
assure they were properly registered with the State of Iowa. Mr. Sima stated that other major
cities were already doing It, and urged Iowa City to assist the state In the same manner. At that
point, I had already contacted Dubuque, and had learned that Dubuque did not Include their
registration requirement Into their building code, but rather had simply adopted a departmental
rule requiring such Information. We agreed at your May 11 meeting J would do additional
Investigation and research.
I have now talked with four of the 'major cities' In Iowa concerning their practices on this matter:
Davenport, Dubuque, Cedar Rapids and Des Moines. All four cities have not Incorporated the
'state registration number requlremenr Into their local codes. However, all four cities have
adopted an Informal policy or a formal departmental rule, requiring their building Inspectors to ask
the contractor to place their state registration number on the city's permit application. At least
three of the cllles, Dubuque, Cedar Rapids and Des Moines, have made this Information readily
available to the Iowa Dopartment of Labor, OSHA Inspection Division. These records are
obviously being required In order to check on the contractor's compliance with unemployment,
workers compensation Insurance and sales tax compliance.
CLARIFICATION OF STATE LAW
Before I relay the Informalion gleaned from the other four cities, I need to clartfy the law
presented In both written and verbal form concerning 'state contractor registration.'
With respect to the Hughes April 25 letter, Mr. Hughes Is correct when he states that Chapter
103A, entitled 'State Building Code,' does require all contractors to be 'stated registered' under
Chapter 91C, entitled 'Registration of Construction Contractors.' However, Chapter 103A
provides a building code only for those cities who do not adopt their own building code, or
who do not adopt the Uniform Building Code, with local amendments. In other words,
Chapter 103A does not apply to Iowa City because we have chosen to adopt a UBC, with our
own local versions and amendments.
This lalter practice of adopting the UBC, with local amendments, Is also followed by all four major
cllles contacted, namely Des Moines, Dubuque, Cedar Rapids and Davenport, In a word, none
of the cities have adopted the state building code (In contrast to Hughes' statement), and none
of the cities have adopted the 'state contractor registration requirement' Into their local building
codes.
By way of further explanation, Chapter 91C, which Includes the contractor registration rules, was
adopted by the Iowa Legislature In 19B8 and amended In 1991. This state law requires all
general contractors to:
1)
2)
3)
Reglstar with the Slate Labor Commissioner and obtain a number.
Remain In compliance with worker's compensation Insuranca laws under
Chapter 87, Code 01 Iowa.
Possess an employer account number or special contractor number Issued
by the Job Service Department (unemployment Insurance).

In applying for this state registration number, contractors must provide the following Information:
1) The name, principal place of business, address, and telephone number of
the contractor.
2) The name, address, telephone number, and position of each officer of the
contractor, whether the contractor Is a corporation, or each owner If the
contractor Is not a corporation.
3) A description of the business, Including the principal products and services
provided.
~91 C.3, Code
The registrant pays a $25 fee 6very two years, and the money goes to the State of Iowa General
Fund.
'Contractor' and 'construction' Is defined very broadly under rules adopted by the Iowa
Department of Labor and codified In the Iowa Administrative Code, ~345-3.82(96), see attached.
In other words, the only way a contractor will not qualify as a 'contractor' for purposes of state
registration Is If 1) they are a person who earns less than $1,000 annually; 2) a person who
performs work on their own homes; or 3) a state or local government.
'...'contracto; means a person who engages In the business of construction, as
the term 'constructlorlls defined In section 345-3.82(96), Iowa Administrative
Code, for purposes of the Iowa employment security law. However, a person who
earns less than $1,000 annually or who performs work or has work performed on
the person's own property Is not a contractor for purposes of this chapter. The
state, Its boards, commissions, agencies, departments, and its political
subdivisions, Including school districts and other special purpose districts, are not
contractors for purposes of this chapter.'
~91C.1, Code of Iowa (1993)
Although the State of Iowa seems to Gxempt a 'person who has work performed on the person's
own property' as not being a contractor for purposes of the registration numbers, apparently the
state tends to Ignore this language and sweeps all contractors under the umbrella of the
registration requirements, together with the worke;s compensation and unemployment Insurance
requirements.
Having reviewed this law,ltls clear the State of Iowa has an Interest In securing assistance from
local governments to ensure compliance with state worke;s compensation and Job Service
requirements. One easy way to ensure this compliance Is the 'building permit' application stage,
and this Is where the cities enter the picture.
LOCAL PRACTICES OF FOUR MAJOR CITIES
State Department of Labor, OSHA Division Inspectors, have been auditing local building permits
for compliance as noted above, and the four cities contacted have agreed to cooperate with the
state as a matler of departmental policy or practice. All contractors seem to be willing to comply
with the city request, without obJection.

Des Moines
I spoke with Assistant City Attomey Mary Helweg, who directed me to Building Official Ted
Wledenman. We discussed some political pressures cities were experiencing, whereby general
contractors would be required to be licensed, Just as cities now commonly license plumbing and
electrical contractors. Perhaps as a result of this pressure, Des Moines has agreed to ask all
contractors who request a building permit to enter their state reglstrallon number on !he
application. Mr. Wledenman tells me that all contractors have voluntarily complied, with no
problem. He also stated that It Is easy to do, and Is not costing the city anything to gather this
Information.
DubUQue
I spoke with corporation counsel Barry Lindahl, who directed me to Building Official Dave Shurtz.
Shurtz stated that Dubuque has been making their building permits avallable for state
OSHA/Department of Labor Inspectors for some time. The Inspectors are doing this to assure
state worker's compensation and unemployment Insurance are paid to the state. Dubuque has
a department policy that requires contractors to provide the city with their state registration
number, but the requirement Is not In the UBC or the city building code. Dubuque has also been
discussing general contractor licensing, since there Is now a test prepared by H&R Block, to test
for licensing general contractors. As noted above, Des Moines Is also discussing this test.
Cedar Rapids
I spoke with City Attorney Dave McGuire, and he referred me to Building Official Glb Boxa Boxa
told me that the Department had adopted a policy or rule that mandated contractor registration
numbers on building permit applications. He explalned this was designed to assist the State
Department of Labor In enforcing worker's compensation, sales tax collection, and payment of
unemployment. He said the requirement helped protect citizens In terms of worker's
compensation protecllon. .
Cedar Rapids has also adopted an Insurance requirement for liability and property damage, which
protects the property owner and the city, see attached. The C.R. City Code requires that all
building contractors who apply for a building permit must provide a certificate of Insurance, and
thereby protect citizens and the city from
'...damages sustalned by reason of neglect or Incompetency on the part of such
contractor, his agents, or employees In the perlormance of the work done under
a license or permit Issued [under this chapter],...'
~33.34, Ordinances of City of Cedar Rapids, Adopted 1991,
If you choose to protect homeowners In the city In such a manner, this Insurance requirement
could easily become a part of the next readoption of the Uniform Building Code, which occurs
every few years.

Davenoort
I spoke with City Attorney John Martin, who checked with the Building Official and then called me
back. Martin said Davenport does not require contractor registration numbers on permits, but
Davenport does require a contractor license prior to Issuing a building permit. j[1 other words, part
of the licensing process requires the state registration number, so Davenport does, Indeed,
require, and obtain, the contracto~s state registration number. Davenport's process Is more
'rigorous' than the other three cities.
. . . . . . . * .
In sum, Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and Des Moines follow !: 'policy' or 'rule' requiring
contractors to enter their state registration number on their p~iidlng permit application, and have
done so without Incident. Davenport holds a slightly 'heavier hand' over the general contractors
by their licensing requirements, but that Is an entirely local matter.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
There Is nothing to preclude Iowa City from following the procedures adopted by Dubuque, Cedar
Rapids, and Des Moines, namely requesting the building official to require state registration
numbers on building permit applications. From my discussion with the three Building Officials,
the Information was easy to obtain from the contractors, and easy to record. This approach would
avoid the questions of having to justlly a local ordinance adopted only to enforce state law, which
might be a 'reach' under traditional home rule analysis.
So also, the City may chose to adopt more stringent contractor licensing requirements, as
Davenport has done, or to adopt the Insurance requirements as Cedar Rapids has done. Since
both these cities have a prior track record and ordinances In place, the City would not need to
'reinvent the wheel.' The choice Is clearty yours to make concerning all three areas:
departmental policy or rule to require contractors to submit state registration numbers; to
Investigate 'contractor licensing'; and to adopt an Insurance requirement for contractors.
I trust this will be of some assistance to you, but please do not hesitate to contact me If you have
additional questions.

Dear Council-persons:
tlW hl'lQ~~~j'$ omCE
I understand that the new Iowa city Building Code had its first
reading before you at the last Council meeting. Bad I been aware that
this was on the agenda, I would have attended that reading and
presented thq material that I'm submitting to you now.
In 1988, the Iowa Legislature passed what became known as Chapter 91-
C. Registration of Construction Contractors. This law was fully in
effect on February, 1989. I have included a copy of that chapter for
you to look ~t.
Quite simply, the law says that construction contractors must register
with the state's labor commissioner and meet some other basic
requirements. Upon meeting the requirements and paying the
registration fee ($25 every two years) the contractor is given a
number.
This law was seem to protect the State and the taxpayers of the St~td
from a couple different problems that regularly haunt the con:~ruction
industry: (1.) The entry of out-of-state, "fly-by-night" contractors
who do shoddy work and are gone before they can be held accountable.
(2.) Workers are often denied access to protection under the State's
workers' compensation and/unemployment insurance laws by being falsely
classified as "independent contractors". This latter problem is
violated an estimated 38% of the time across the State.
Although, this law is on the books; enforcement has been very
difficult due to inadequate funding. Most larger cities in Iowa'
prptect their citizens by adopting the some or all of Chapter 103A of
the Iowa Code: State Building Code. provision 103A.20 reade "..a
permit...for construction of a building shall not be issued to a
contractor who...fails to obtain a contractor registration number
pursuant to chapter 91C.". I have also included a copy of chapter
103A for you.
What this means is that when a contractor comes in to get a building
permit, they would have to put their number on the permit. The Office
of Contractor Compliance in the State's Department of Labor can
instantly check a number or a computer printout is available to cross
check numbers on. I have provided you the list printed out for me by
that office. My information suggests that this process involves
little or no additional time for a building department.
until the Iowa City Building Code addresses the contractor compliance
issue we have a loophole in the law which leaves many of our citizen's
without protections that are due them. I ask that you consider add
the language from chapter 103A.20 to the Iowa city Building Code or
something similar.
Thank-you.
,Sincerely yours
Patrick Hughes

Mr. George Matheson, President
Board of Education
Iowa City Community School District
509 South Dubuque Street
lowe City, fA 52240
RE: Peratranslt Service to Schools
Dear George:
At a recent joint meeting of the Iowa City City Council and Johnson County Board of
Supervisors, the subject of SEATS paratransit service to persons with disabilities was
discussed, Particular discussion was given the service which the SEATS system is providing
to Iowa City Community School District UCCSD) students. Through the first three quarters
of FY93, 1,800 students with disabilities ware transported by SEATS. The City of Iowa City
is being chargad $5.86 by Johnson County for each of these trips. With summer school soon
baginning, the City will also be charged a similar amount for each one-way trip by students
using SEATS to go to class.
I
"
I,
The City Council has discussed this Issue and we believe that the expenses involved In
transporting soma of these students should be the responsibility of the fCCSD. It is our
understanding that for transportation to and from certain curriculum activities which occur off
school grounds, able-bodied students are not permitted to use Iowa City Transit. However,
to these same activities students are transported on the SEATS system and the trips are
charged to the City. The City suggests you contact the SEATS system to arrange for the
reimbursament of these trips.
Thank you, and plaase contact me with any questions or comments.

RE: FY 94 S.B.A.T.S. Contract
Dear Members of the Iowa City City Council:
Johnson County proposes a fiscal year 1994 contract identical in fonn to the 1993 contract
with these changes in numbered Paragraph 5:
__ A new cost - per - trip figure of $6.61 (was $5.86 in FY 93), with corresponding
changes in the holiday cost - per - trip figure and the cost. per . vehicle hour figure.
__ A new total funding figure of $291,000 (was $269,580 in FY 93).
The cost . per - trip figure is for accounting purposes only . Your expenses during this
contract will not exceed $291,000.
Johnson County has these goals for FY 94:
._ To maintain the existing level of S.B.A.T.S. service under the same tenns set forth
in previous contracts.
__ To have the cities of Iowa City and Coralvi11e deal with the Iowa City Community
School District on the school district transportation issue, and have the cities advise
the S.B.A.T.S. director promptly of any changes.
.. To accept the city's payments in 12 monthly installments.

Page 2
We believe it's important that Lie new contract duplicate as much as possible the existing
contract, which, ultimately, worked well to provide the level of service desired by the
participating parties. A new contract like the old one also should assure the public of
continuity of service.
A copy of the FY 93 contract is enclosed.
Also enclosed is the calculation for the proposed cost per trip and per vehicle hour.
We think all parties may wish to discuss more substantive changes in the contract for FY 95
and beyond. We hope to start that discussion with you next month and conclude negotiations
on the FY 95 contract by October 15, 1993, so all parties can make appropriate FY 95 budget
decisions.
If you wish, a county delegation can attend the meeting at which you discuss the FY 94
proposal.
Sincerely,
fJa:tMW 0. ;J1uh--' .

MEMORANDUM
Date:
June 22, 1993
To: , Johnson County Board of Supervisors
From: Mayor, City of Iowa City
Re: SEATS
.', .
At our regularly scheduled work session meeting of June 21. the Iowa City City Council
discussed the most recent correspondence from the Chair of the Board of Supervisors
concerning the proposed SEATS contract. Following our discussion we wish to advise you
that we would prefer proceeding with a par-ride charge for a short term SEATS transportation
contract. This will ,allow time for all other relevant details to be resolved through further
nagotiations and/or the results of an upcoming JCCOG study. Your letter did not address tha
issue of the tax shared/distribution for urban and rural properties, our concern for school
"
district charges, and we will need a further description as to why the per.ride increased to
$6.61 from an earlier $6.34 figure. It Is our desire to address this issue as promptly as
possible. We would suggest that some wpe of committee of representatives from Coralville,
Iowa City and the Board of Supervisors reconvene, a.s in the past, to further discuss this
issue. We are willing to pay the par-ride, knowing that we will be working toward a more
parmanent solution, preferably a lump sum contract and the sooner the better.
I believa we all share an interest In providing a quality SEATS service under reasonable cost
controls.
I look forward to hearing from you.

CITY OF IOWA CITY
RE: Paratranslt Service to Schools
Dear Georga:
At a recent joint meeting of tha Iowa City City Council and Johnson County Board of
Supervisors, tha subject of SEATS para transit service to persons with disabilities was
discussed. Particular discussion was given the service which the SEATS system is providing
to Iowa City Community School District (ICCSD) students. Through tha first three quarters
of FY93, 1,800 students with disabilities were transported by SEATS. The City of Iowa City
is baing charged $5.86 by Johnson County for each of these trips. With summer school soon
beginning, the City will also be charged a similar amount for each one-way trip by studants
using SEATS to go to class.
The City Council has discussed this issua and we believe that the expanses involved in
transporting some of these students should be the responsibility of the ICCSD. It is our
understanding that for transportation to and from certain curriculum activities which occur off
school grounds, able.bodied students are not parmitted to use Iowa City Transit. Howevar,
to thase same activities students are transported on the SEATS system and the trips are
charged to the City. The City suggests you contact the SEATS system to arrange for the
reimbursement of these trips. '
Thank you, and please contect me with any questions or comments.
