IOWA CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY
MEMORANDUM
DATE I
November 1, 1993
TO:
City Council
Ron Henderscn, Housing Administrator R"...oJ/i
FROM:
RE:
Affordability Adjustment for the Section 8 Housing
Voucher Program.
The Section 8 Voucher program was designed to overcome ceiling limits
for rent used in the Certificate program. The participant who chooses
to rent an apartmsnt in which the rent excesds the ceiling, must pay an
addsd amount. This addsd amount is governsd by the level of the
Payment Standard.
HUD rules in the area of paymsnt Standards are that they may not excssd
the Fair Markst Rent (FHR) nor may thsy be bslow 80% of the FMR. One
other controlling factor is ths funding provided by HUD for the Voucher
Program. other than these requirements, HUD allows Housing Authorities
to set their own levels. The staff recommends the propossd Payment
Standards be set to the average rental cost found in the Certificate
program. These averages are:
One Bedroom $408
Two Bedroom 461
Thr.ee Bedroom - 568
Four Bsdroom - 678
Present Payment Standards, sst in 19B7, are:
One Bedroom $371
Two Bedroom 436
Thrse Bedroom - 546
Four Bedroom - 611
The new paymsnt Standards will allow the average "Voucher" participant
to rent a unit at the cost that the average "Certificate" participant
now experiences. These propossd levels are below the FHRs, are above
the 80% floor limit and are supportable by present funding.
The staff recommends this payment standard schedule.

August 12, 1993
To: City Council of IOHa City
Dear Council Members:
We the undersigned are Hriting to express our concern
about a continuing Hater drainage problem in the FairvieH
Avenue/College Court area,
For many years there has been inadequate drainage in this
area during rainstorms, resulting in a massive rush of
Hater through the neighborhood streets and yards. The
large amount of rainfall this summer made this problem
particularly serious. Three times there Has a "flash
flood" through the streets that resulted in major Hater
damage to several houses, as Hell as damage to cars,
yards, landscaping and gardens, The build-up of Hater Has
not only inconvenient; it Has also dangerous. At times
FairvieH Avenue had three feet of Hater pouring across it
Hith great force,
We realize that there are other parts of the city drainage
and seHer system that need repair after this extraordina-
rily wet summer, but we feel that attention to .this
problem should be a top priority,
Attached you will find photographs that show the amount of
water that flows through our neighborhood during
rainstorms. We would be happy to discuss the problem'in
greater detail with counoil members and/or the city
engineer.
Thank you for your time.
Respectfully yours,
~.~,w~

Dear Councilwoman Novick:
I have enclosed a copy of a petition I delivered to the City Engineer concerning a drainage
project planned for my neighborhood. I am also sending this letter and a copy of the
petition to each of the other City Council members.
The project involves trenching next to a row of mature hardwood trees in front of the
houses owned by those signing the petition. The project, my neighbors and I feared, would
damage and possibly destroy the trees.
Mter submitting the petition to the City Engineer, he agreed to postpone construction and
to explore alternative approaches to ,trenching that would be less threatening to the trees.
My neighbors and I are appreciative of the concern, cooperation, and respotJsiveness that
the Engineering Department staff displayed.

At this point my neighbors and I are not requesting that you or other Council members take
any action. We believe we can work directly with the Engineering Department staff to
achieve a satisfactory solution. Should we encounter problems, we will contact you.

Re: Attached Petition to I,C, Police Department
Attached is a copy of a petition we have sent to the Chief of the Iowa City Police Department. As the
governing body in charge of the police, we felt you would want to be aware of our concerns, As you
can see from the petition, we are very concerned with the way the conduct of the students of City High
School impacts on our neighborhood,
, The signatures on the petition represent 24 ofthe 26 households in the 1700 and 1800 blocks of
Morningside Drive (we were not able to contact anyone at the two non-signing households), We feel
the petition is a solid representation ofthe public opinion of these two blocks, Even though we felt it
best to concentrate our signafure gathering in these two blocks, we would like to point out that these
same problems exist in all the areas adjacent to City High School, especially the area immediately west
of the school.

We hope the Police Department will take these concerns seriously and will respond in a positive
manner, The petition is not meant as criticism, it is intended as a vehicle to infonn the police of
recurring problems we have and to suggest possible solutions, We want to work with the City and
School District to improve conditions in our neighborhood and make the area safe for our children,

PETITION TO THE IOWA CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT
"
',,!
i,'
We, the residents of the 1700 and 1800 blocks of Mornings ide Drive, would like to bring to the attention of
the Police Department of the City ofIowa City some recuning problems which we would like to see
addressed, We live in very close proximity to City High School, and the traffic, parking and crime problems
which invade our neighborhood due to the large number of high school students who park in and drive
through our area have increased greatly in the last several years, The specific problems and our proposed
solutions are outlined below:
"
.'
~' (
;
MOVING VIOLATIONS: more and more students are driving to school these days and, as will probably
always be the case, their driving skills and habits are very poor, Speeding (far in excess of the legal limit),
reckless driving, hit-and-run accidents (generally caused when parking or leaving a parking spot), purposeful
destruction of private property, complete disregard for traffic signs and rules, etc, are commonplace
throughout every school day, The problems are compounded by the rows of tightly packed parked cars lining
all the streets adjacent to City High and the narrow width of most of these streets, Most of our households
have very young children who play in our yards and cross our streets, It is only a matter of time , given the
driving habits of the students, before a very serious personal injury accident Occurs involving a small child
from our neighborhood, Whenever we hear the roar of a student leaving City High, rounding the CUlVe on
Morningside at as high a rate of speed as he or she can achieve, we fear for the safety of our neighborhood
children. We feel they must be better protected from the constant threat of reckless teenage drivers,

PROPOSED SOLUTIONS: We believe police patrols in the area, especially from 11:30 a,m, . 1 :30 p,m,
and at 3 :30 p,m, (times when students usually come and go) must be stepped up in frequencyand duration,
Violators must be issued citations and prosecuted to the maximum penalty, As things stand now, the students
seem to have almost complete disregard for law enforcement. Speed bumps may also be a possible solution,
CRIME: The parking facilities at City High are woefully inadequate, This situation forces the students onto
our streets, sidewalks and yards far in excess of the nomal walk-by traffic, They leave large amounts of litter
everywhere, They steal, destroy and vandalize private property, They buy, sell and use drugs, They drink '
alcohol. All of this goes on in plain sight, often in our yards, Many of us have called police with complaints
but often the students have left the area before an officer anives, The facts speak for themselves: the
students' behavior is so blatant that it is obvious they have no fear of reprisal from law enforcement,
, PROPOSED SOLUTIONS: Once again, increased police patrols are very much needed as is vigorous
enforcement of the laws (don't let the students olf easy). Also, when we call with a complaint or report of
illegal activity taking place, these phone calls need to be taken very seriously and responded to as promptly as
possible. We want to work with the police department to help prevent crime but sometimes we are very
fiustrated because our phone calls do not produce any tangible results.
