Re: Flood Update
We reconvened our Ilood managament group to provide an update 01 tha issuas associated
with our continuing response to Ilood and related damege caused by our summer rains.
On Tuesday, a FEMA representative showed up at the City Park lor somewhat 01 a surprise
inspection. He did call and we were able to provide staff on short notice to take him on a tour
of the park. It is apparent that we will need to prepare new cost estimates as the FEMA
rapresentative told us "no" to many 01 our expenses. We are continuing to do daily reporting
and providing an information system that allows us to keep track of all invoices lor work we
balieve to be f1ood.related.
The general clean.up work at City Park continues, and the lundralsing eflort is underwav. We
have b~en presented with somewhat 01 a unique problem in the area intended to possibly
sarve as a sand prairie environment. Thare is approximately three acres involved and the site
has 40 trees + 1-. Evidence indicates il we are to maintain this area as e sand prairie the sand
accumulation will likely kill the trees. Also. to maintain a sand prairie, inlormatlon we have
received is that it must be periodically burned 011 lor adequate maintenance which may result
in some criticism by those who do not dasire any burning in the City limits. II we continue
with the prairie idea, the treas will need to be removed. We ara continuing our discussions
to determine whether this prairie area is In the park's best interest and the public reaction to
the removal 01 a substantial number 01 traes.
We are moving ahead es quickly as possible with the maintenanca and repair 01 our sanitary
and storm sawer systems. To date, most of the damaged sanitary sawers have been repaired
and reconnactions made. To the best 01 our knowledge, we only have one property owner

who continues to have sanitary sewer service problems directly associated with the
flood/ground seturation problems. In the Grent Wood neighborhood, a sewer was repeired
bye contractor end yet sunk farther. We will be notilying the contractor and expect them on
the job soon to reconstruct the original repair, If we are unable to secure thet contractor, our
current contractor will be asked to repair and wa will bill.

Many of our residents' yards were excavated during sewer repairs and it is likely restoration
will not be finished this fall/winter, Most of the property owners have been very cooperative,
recognizing the problems with the weather and we have indicated to them we would return
in the spring for restoration work,
Throughout town, many of the sanitarv sewer manholes have a crumbled concrete area in and
around the lid. We are hoping to repair and construct sealed lids as quickly as possible to not
only cut down on infiltration, but also provide for the repair necessary. As the freeze.thaw
cycle begins and the pavement moves, this damage not only is unattractive, but can also be
dangerous to our snow plowing operations. We are working on these as quickly as possible.
We have also discovered that many of the ready mix trucks in town will empty/clean out into
our storm sewers. While they mey feel that sufficient water passes through the storm sewer
to dilute. often this simply washes lurther down and builds into a blockage in the storm
sewer. I intend to contact the ready mix companies throughout the area to explain this
problem to them.
Our street system is generally in good order, with Benton Street under repair, so we can
reopen closed lanes. There are many other repairs throughout town, as I have indicated to
you in the past, that simply will not get completed this year. There are also sidewalk repairs
that will need to we it until spring. However, with our commitment to our leal pickup, it will
be difficult to do meny of these tasks. We are in the 22nd day of a 36.day leef schedule.
We have vacuumed 300 truckloads so far.

The sump pump discherge reconstruction, es indiceted to you in a previous memo, is
proceeding satislactorily. Only one neighborhood, Post Road near Princetonl has Indicated
concern and we will put off that job for the time baing as wa work with the neighbors, There
is a concern for tree damage and the construction techniques that we are utilizing. We will
work with this neighborhood,
The water treatment plant has a few remaining sandbagged areas and we Intend to keep
those throughout winter. Many of the sandbags are beginning to deteriorate. We have
replaced the chlorine lines across the street and Madison Street is now open. With springtime
flooding/other predicted, it is particularlY critical that we maintain an open communication
with the Corps of Engineers.
We will also work on our sluice gate at the treatment plant. As you may recall the University
lost their gate during the flooding, and we will be attempting to avoid a similar problem.
All in all, we are moving as quickly as possible with our own employees and private
contractors to continue our recovery work effort.

Date: November 4, 1993
To: City Council
From: City Manager
Re: State 01 Iowa Code, City Finance Section 384,11, Direct Deposit of Taxes
We have requested the League of Iowa Municipalities and our area legislators to consider new
legislation to change the state ol.lowa Code, City Finance Section 3B4.11, Direct Deposit of
Taxes. The current Code reads 'Before the 15th day of each month, the County Treasurer shall
send the amount collected lor each fund Irom the last day 01 the preceding month for direct
deposit Into the depository In the account designated by the City Clerk.' We would like to change
that to read "Before the 15th day of each month, the County Treasurer shall send the amount
collected for each lund, from the 16th through the last day of the preceding month for direct
deposit Into the depository In the account designated by the City Clerk and before the last dav
01 the month. the County Treasurer shall send the amount collected lor each lund from the' first
throuoh the 15th of that month lor direct deooslllnto the deoosltorv In the account deslonated b~
the City Clerk.'
We have requested this new legislation because of the concern of cash flow to the City, Property
tax payments are due on September 1 and March 1, and the counties give a 3D-day extension
to October 1 and April 1 belore penallles go Into effect. More and more people are paying their
property taxos later In the year. At one time the bulk of property taxes were received by the City
In October and April, and now, the City Is no! seeing the bulk of their property tax revenue unlll
November and May. This Is causing some severe cash flow problems lor the City. This
legislation will mean we will get our money more often - twice a month rather than once a
month.

Re: Sewer Backup Claims
Following the recent executive session at which the Council dlscussed'the Issue of payment of
sewer backup claims, some minor confusion has arisen and therefore I wanted to take the
opportunity by way of this memorandum to provide you with our understanding 01 your direction,
While the City has no legal obligation, that being our Insurance company has denied coverage
based upon the lact that the sewer backuplfloodlng was an act of God, we chose to provide some
financial assistance to property owners experiencing a sewer backup. We have received 77
requests. Many have not chosen to file the appropriate paperwork and therefore It is difficult to
assess whether they will or will not proceed with their claim. In order to Initiate your polley
decision, Kevin chose to authorize a $250 payment for cleanup. He based the $250 figure on
$50 lor the purchase 01 cleanup materials and 20 hours at $10 an hour as the approximate cost
for cleanup, Some residents have accepted this figure and the mailer of cleanup Is closed, A
summary Is attached. Others have accepted but also indicate they may IIl1gate. The major
concern appears to be whether we will continue our discussions with each If they are not
satlslled. If It Is demonstrated that there Is some City liability, we will continue discussions and
hopefully arrive at some settlement. However, City liability must be demonstrated. A recent
newspaper story appears to Indicate that these monies were In the form of a gift for those who
were flooded. Practically speaking, I can understand such an Interpretation, but our understand-
Ing 01 the Council polley position was simply to make an offer of some assistance In cleanup for
sewer backup, not Ilooding.

All of our discussions with the various property owners, again on a case.by.case basis, are
directly atlrlbutable to the cost of cleanup and therefore II a property owner can demonstrate City
liability, it would be our Intent to pay beyond the $250 Inlllal offer.

FROM: cyndi Sheets, Finance secretarytD
RE: Summer, 1993 Sewer Backup Claim statistics
Complaint calls of sewer backups 77
Paperwork for claim filed 42
$250.00 in cleanup expenses offered 26
Cleanup offer accepted 20
Claims paid outright 7
Claims denied 4
I believe the recent increase in complaint calls was due to the
article that ran in the Press Citizen this last week. Please note
that of the 6 claims that have not yet accepted the cleanup offer,
4 claimants were just issued the offer in the past few days. 3 of
the 4 claims that were denied were double claims for properties
that were already paid.

Re: Community Development
Attached Is a memorandum I directed to several members 01 the City staff, as well as copy to the
City Council, concerning community development. Most of the Issues outlined In this
memorandum are being addressed, Others have taken on a little different shape or dimension;
however, generally speaking, we work toward the basic administrative principles outlined In this
memorandum, In that we have several new Council members, I wanted to take the opportunity
to forward this memorandum to those Individuals. Of specific importance will be the basic goals
outlined on pages 9, 10 and 11. These seven goals are Intended to provide the City staff with
administrative direction In lulfllllng the policies and other Initiatives of the City Council. From all
appearances they remain relevant today.
Your review of the memorandum Is appreciated and at some time In the luture, possibly at
upcoming City Council goal sessions, we can discuss these Issues and administrative principles.

Though hardly a profound statement, there is an Inevitability to change, While city councils may
differ with resp.ect to their policies and philosophies and how they might affect the changing
character 01 our community, the fact remains that change will'occar. How you measure the effect
01 ch,ange Is subject to numerous Interpretations. The often simple 'notlon of labeling an
Individual's beliefs as In lavor of growth or ,against growth, Is, I~ my judgment, overty simplistic.
Change will occur and as a govemm~nt institution, we ne~d to recognize, accept and often
encourage change. We need not be overwhelmed by these pressures, We can, however,
through thoughtful planning, fulfill our responsibilities to manage our community's change.
. As a consequence of change, we will feel pressure to respond and hopefully to lead, City
government Is obligated to meet the municipal service needs of its citizens, fulflli the many
mandates and other regulatory Issues Imposed upon us by our state and federal governments,
and also attempt, wherev~r practical, to undertake Initiatives strtctly In our community's sell. '
Interest. Managed change will hopefully create a bett,er community now and for the luture.
As Indicated, It Is not a simple matter of determining whether growth ?nd development are
poslllve or negallve, but recognizing Its complexities and then responding to the differing and
often conflicting Interests which occur as our c1t1zens,lnstitutlons, and other Influ~ntlal lactors sort
out and select a direction lor our community development. For example, as an older community,
Inllli development Is often an Issue. Services are In place, streets and sewers do not need to be

extended; however, we must also recognize a proposed development may be in conflict wilh pre-
existing neighborhood interests, On the other hand, growth in our peripheral areas requires the
commitment of resources to provide service extensions and fulfiil the needs of new citizens In our
new neighborhoods, Add to these circumstances other social and economic factors (.e,g, where
to locate new housing for low Income families, wiil new Jobs be created, etc,), diverse agendas
develop and the City Council must strike the delicate balance between neighborhood and
community needs while fulfilling state and lederal obligations. In order to lulfiil our responsibilities
as a professional staff, managerial strategies are required to address this diversity 01 Interests.

our community's agenda, To elfectively manage and plan for our community's future wiil require
a cooperative venture Involving the Interests of our citizens, their neighborhoods, the professional

As we pursue managed growth, that Is guiding our development In a thoughtful and responsible
' ,
manner, the Involvement of all parties needs to be encouraged. Everyone will approach growth
and change with varying Interests and from their own, often selfish, perspective. These Interests
depend upon many Influences and result in social, polillcal, economic and environmental
decisions which must be made by the City Council. Each Interest must leel their participation and
Involvement Is meaningful It the City government Is 10 effectl~ely address their concerns.
To manage our growt~ requires regulation through laws and polley direction approved by the
legislative body, however, I believe negotiatiOn, consensus building, and brokerlng are also
' ,
essential elements of this management effort. To cause all of these elements to occur In a fully
effective fashion requires managerial sensitivity and an ability to facilitate this highly participative
p,rocess and yet minimize conflict wherever practical. There will always be some degree 01
conflict, but the process of conflict cim be an expression 01 caring, and be utilized as an effective ,
too/In managing our communlty's growth. As senior managers, you will be required to IIslen

As the chief administrative officer, I have sensed subtle changes occurring In how our growth and
development Interests are managed, p~rticularly where policies outside the traditional land use
regulatory process are affecting our community's grow\h, Recently, the Planning & Zoning
Commission, In the review of a subdivision, chose to address a housing goal. This decision
addressing the special needs of our moderate-lricome citizens, signals a change In approach to
land use review and the Interests of that particular citizen commission. Also, Incorporated In this
decision were the unique aspects 01 the land, providing for a wetland management process which
can become not only a component of subdivision review, but a source of new park/recreation
improvements which benefit all of our community, The Riverfront Commission seeks to
participate in the review of land use decisions affecting their area of Interest, as likewise other
City Boards and Commissions seek new responsibilities. The Federal Government, as It pursues
the issue 01 affordabllity In housing, will require coordination 01 local development policies with
...' .
our various social service support agencies. En,vlronmentallssues, housing and social support
policies are now part 01 our decision making, and land use regulation has become merely one of
many factors to be evaluated. As you' can see, triese circumstances make the Issue of growth
and development lar more complex 'and knowing the character of our community 11 Is only the
beginning. There are other examples of where our community has undertaken changes In'
direction with respect to development.

. Zoning interpretation can affect the Immediate life of a neighborhood as represented by the
recent heliport decision-making process, An institution of long standing In a neighborhood can'
have a profound effect on the character of a neighborhood and Interests often come Into
conflict.
. A somewhat routine transportation decision, the reconstruction of a bridge' has become a
banner lor neighborhoods to have some say'in land use decIsions (changes in a historical
district) which have a significant Impact on the overall community with respect to managing and
planning for arterial traffic systems,
, ,
I believe such circumstances are likely to Increase and the City government Is going to be called
upon to negotiate, mediate or broker solutions for a variety of Inlerest groups. I believe this
process will become more and more commonplace. While the decisions of the City Council will
not be any easler, hopefully this process wfll allow greater citizen involvement and far better
Inlormatlon to guide decisions.
We have a sound land use review process, that being how we regulate development, but lor the
luture this wHl not be enough. If we are to create development opportunities and an environment
ihat manages our growth and ~hange, the City's organization and its admln.lstralive response
must also change. Your commitment as the City's senior level professional staff wfll be critical
as we attempt to maintain continuity in policies from Council to Council and yet allow for Council's,
adjustments dependent upon the wishes of the community, 'Our future is one which will
encourage negotiation and participation, as well as regulation, but not over.regulation. It will
require the City organization to facilitate a comprehensive development process w~ich involves
many more Issues than Juslland use.
In order to better address all elements in our community's development process, provide an
administrative response which fullllls the policy direction of the City Council and meets the
community's agenda, I wlll'lnltlate a number of changes with respect to staff/organlzatlonal
assignments. i These changes will Include new organizational assignment for ongoing activities,
shared pollcyladmlnlstratlve relationships which are Intended to Increase the organization's ,
attention to planning and development Issues, and an ongoing systematic evaluation through work
assignments to meet potential needs. These changes will require many adjustments on the. part

of various departments and their employees; however, I believe there is a need to establish the
leadership responsibility for these Issues with City department directors and other senior level
staff as we work to fullill the community's development agenda, As you know, ,I value
organizational flexibility and I want 10 keep overly-restrictive rules 10 a minimum, particularly when
they stifle creativity. To our good fortune the City Council has been most generous in extending
. .
to us that flexibility, I believe as, the senior managers, you need to playa greater role in policy
development and expand, a partiCipative management process among department directors,
Problems do not respect organizational structure and therefore solutions demand an interdepart-
mental effort.
NEIGHBORHOODS
The Director of Planning will determine how to more effectively incorporate our neighborhoods
and their localized agendas Into the planning and development process, This is to fullill not only
current Issues, bui also how the City organization can respond to their needs and Incorporate
their interests Into our overall planning process, Once' th'~ methodology Is determined,
.
recommendations will be made to allow the neighborhoods to be better Informed. This Is not to
be a policy of capitulation to very narrow neighborhood Issues In light of overall community
interests but a means to cooperate with and share,ln seeking our communliy's continued growth
and prosperliy, while working to accommodate neighborhood Interests. ,The Director 01 Planning
through the Neighborhood Services Coordinator will, In working with all department directors,
continue the goal to measure the effectiveness of city services in our neighborhoods and .
wherever practical, develop measurements that can be utilized In assisting the review procedure,
Each department director wlil be expected to evaluate your program of services and determine
how you can communicate your service provision to our neighborhoods.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL RESOURCE ISSUES
The Director of Public Works and Director 01 Planning will Initiate an ongoing policy review
process whereby they will review and recommend, where appropriate, on Issues 01 an
envlronm'ental nature as they might affect our community's planning and development. Utilization
. ,
of their respective stall as well as other department director Involvement will be at their discretion,
I want to be assured that proper allentlon to Ihese types of Issues occurs In a timely fashion.

an environmental nature so that the City government can, at the very least, remain current. The
development of anticipatory potlcles is expected.
The Director of Public Works and Director of Planning will determine how to incorporate Into land
use review all appropriate environmental concerns, ' Landfill management and its related
environmental Issues will remain the responsibility of the Director of Public Works.
HUMAN SERVICES
It Is recognized that the City's future involvement In housing initiatives also ropresent a critical
human service (the need for shelter), Human service policies can have a significant effect upon
where to locate housing and the related development issues, The JCCOG Human Service.
Coordinator, In cooperation with'the Director of Plan~lng and Director of Housing and Inspection
Services, will determine how best to Incorporate such issues Into our land use review where
app~oprlate. The Human Service Coordinator will assist wherever practical In the assessment 01
. ,
human service pollcleslprograms that will affect development decisions. Particular emphasis Is
drawn to the compreh'ensive housing affordabllity strategies required by the lederal government'
and the requirement to relate local human service pO,tlcles to our community's housing goals.
LAND USE REVIEW
Our land use review cannot be Isolated from ali other Influential policy factors. Technical
compliance Is only one measure of a successluiland use r~vlew. The Director 01 Planning will
need to assume a leadership role In coordinating the many policy Issues affecting land use and
provide guidance to the professional planning staff Involved In such review.
UTILITY EXTENSION
The Director of Pubtlc Works and the Director of Planning will determine areas In the community
where utility extensions may be beneflcialto fulfill overall community development goals. .This ,
review process may go beyond the comprehensive land Use plan and must Incorporate all
policies, such as economic development, housing, human services, recreation, and whether a

. The Affordable Housing Task Force and its upcoming recommendations will be but one item
which I betieve substantiates our community's general interest in having a significant local
government Invl11vement In the provision of housing, While It is recognized that we provide a
variety of housing support services, there appears to be genuine community Interest in expanding
that Involvement. To the greatest extent possible, the Department of Housing and Inspection
Services will assume a greater leadership role In the provision of housing services, The Director
01 Planning, Director of Housing and Inspection Services and CDBG Coordinator will determine
how best to Incorporate the housing-related Issues of our community Into one organizational
assIgnment, The CDSG program,' due to their Initiatives has' become a program 01 housing
support projects; The Department of HousIng and Inspection Services will assume the leadership
lole In the preparation 01 any support materials and in cooperation with all others will assume
leadership for the preparation of the comprehensive housing affordablllty strategy, Other staff will
be called upon to support as necessary.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The community's economic development policy will be re-asslgned to the Department 01 Planning,
The primary emphasis will be to translate economic development Issues Into procedural matters
for Incorporation Into our intemal review practices, Economic development polley and associated
issues, such as tax base development, Job creation, zoning and land use designation, with
particular emphasis on commercial and Industrial zoning, will become a component of overall land
use review. Land use can be utilized as a means to lulflll our community's economic Interests.
The City Manager's Office will also provide participation In economic development Issues and, '
In particular, an Information system will be created whereby the City Manager may remain
Involved In many community economic development obligations, such as Iowa City Area

The banking and financial Industry will be called upon to participate In Clly-related economic
develop,ment activities. We will look forward to greater private financial opportunities lor the
programs and projects to fulfiil City goals. They may Include the creation of non-profit
corporations to address community issues, loan and grant support programs, leveraging of public
and private funds, City Investment policies. These new policies will be create~ to support the
overail community development activity. The Director of Finance will be assisted by the Director ,
of Planning, and the CDBG Program Coordinator with respect to the Identification 01, Issues '

The use of local resources to meet local needs will be a primary goal. In that the banking
Industry has responsibilities to fulfill community Investment and other federal legislative and
regulatory requirements, and with the continuing decline In the level of federal assistance, City
government needs to lake full value of these financial opportunities and develop policies
accordlngiy,
TRANSPORTATION
The City's involvement in transportation Issues is not only one 01 the most complex, but also the
most expensive. Transit, traffic engineering, parking, transportation planning, streets, traffic
enlorcement and capital project planning and construction are assigned to five separate City
departments, Many quality transportation related reports are prepared and used in the planning
process, yet I do not believe we undertake a sufficient cross-Jurisdictional review process, Those
Involved need to create discussion opportunities to assure each agency involved in the
transportation planning process Is satisfactorily advised of the work effort of the other.
As we make these changes, there are a number 01 'other basic goals I want to see us accomplish
with respect to how we manage our community's growth,
1. The establishment of intemal and external linkages with the citizens we serve. , As you
listen to their concems, I encourage your sensitivity and responsiveness to public Input.
Many citizens feel they are regulated against their will and therefore It is important that
their Involvement not be discouraged so that we can allow them to participate to the extent
they would choose, and hopefully provide them with a better understanding of the overall
.
policies and Issues ourcommunlty will face. We have In place a neighborhood assistance
program, as weli as many City boards and cO(l1mlsslons which can be c~lied upon for
advice and counsel as to how to establish better relationships with th~ citizens we serve.
Service is the reason for our existence. Openness, I believe, will encourage competence
as better Ideas can be generated as our own Ideas are subjeclto scrutiny.
2. We need to create a climate conducive to th~ conceiving 01 ideas and doing new things
to solve community problems. I believe we can have a record of Implementing creative
solulions even In the face of declining resources. W,e will most certainly have fewer

financial resources In the future and therefore more staff simply cannot readily be made
available, By encouraging the sh~red management approach, you and your subordinates
can not only do a responsible job, but as senior managers you will be able to fulfill the
executive leadership responsibilities assigned to you by the nature of your position,
, To achieve excellence In performance, notably the management of our community's
agenda, antiquated, negative effects of bureaucratic structures must be minimized. I
believe wilh Cily Council's support we can establish a lIrm direction that provides
maximum opportunity for each 01 you to act creatively and fulfill your executive leadership
responsibilities,
The relatlonshipwilh your various cillzen boards and commissions must be made as
effective as possible, These boards and commissions are appointees of the City Council
and are selected to represent the City Council and assist In matters of polley Interpretation
and the development of new Ideas. it will be critical for a successlul manager to establish
ongoing relationships with these boards and commissions, An open, positive and
respectful relationship wilh these boards and commissions will allow for a greater
opportunity to fulfill our community's agenda, You may make use of your support staff as
you see fit, partiCUlarly those 01 you who are required to staff many boards and
commissions. The development of the Interpersonal relations between you and these
boards will be your reSponsibility; however, I encourage you to make known your interest
In their ideas about our community's planning and development agenda, as well as ydur
thoughts as to how you mlg~t assist them In ~ot only Identllylng, but fuffilllng that agenda,
Boards should be encouraged to allocate time for discussion and reflection on future
Issues. Recently, the Parks and Recreation Commission completed a strategic plan which
will be helpful In many polley issues, particularly how resources are allocated In the future,
Ailhough such detail may not be necessary, similar thought processes should be
encouraged.
A shared responsibility and work effort among departments Is simple a muill-dlsclpllnary
team approach to addressing our communily's 'growth and development. Additionally,
' .
wherever practical, multi-Jurisdictional approaches should also be addressed such as the
regional significance 01 the housing Issues our area will need to address, The attitude

exemplified by our successful public safety mutual aid program can also be applied to
regional planning and development Issues,
6. An emphasis will be placed on customer service, whether It be a neighborhood, a
development proposal, a new business venture, or any Individual seeking to do business
with the City government, we will do our best to provide a problem-solving environment
to allow them the fullest opportunity to participate, Each department must assess their
customer service orientation and how to better serve those customers.
7. I recognize it has become somewhat trite, but the concept of "user friendly' must be
Instilled in our organization, In order to sell computers they had to be made easy to use,
understandable, non,threatening and Informative. This concept is transferrable to the
City's development process. As the presence 01 government will continue to be a
significant factor In the decision making process, the City's role In lacllllatlng development
Is central. ,If the City staff Is responsive, If regulations, standards, review processes and
procedures support the development process, the private sector Is more likely to conduct
business, If processes arEi entangling, cumbersome, and discouraging, business will go
elsewhere. Streamlining the regulatory process can provide a competitive advantage not
only In terms of attracting Investment, but also In terms of the quality of development.
.
Each group 01 department directors and/or senior staff ,need to schedule periOdic discussions to
review processes, make recommendations for change, forecast trends and create opportunities
to communicate with and disseminate Information to the users of our services. Other Issues may
be developed out QI the assignments I have previously made, and it Is expected that you will
report to me your findings and suggestions as to how other polley group Initiatives can be
undertaken.
As an outcome of these discussions, the roles of various employees in related departments will .
..
be questioned. Wherever practical, consider Information sharing and, where appropriate, cross
training. While our organlzallon Is ~ot overly large, It Is complex, due to the variety of services
performed. Employees need to be made aware of the missions of other departments, as well ,
as an Inlormatlon'system so that they are aware of changes occurring within the organization.

To be effective public executives, our sensitivity to the community's political environment Is most
important. We ~II have experienced the sense of powerlessness and often lor good reason, The
Intervention of the Slate and Federal government Into activities that were once solely th'e
responslbiiity of local government is pervasive, Few decisions or initiatives can be undertaken
, without close attention to the dictates, opinions, policies, etc, of the State and Federal
govemments,

A further factor In the feeling of powerlessness Is the whipsaw of public opinion. caused by
powerful but contradictory forces. One dimension Is the feeling by the public that they pay too
much In taxes and that government spends too much, Yet, at the same time, we are besieged.
with requests from special groups for greater services. Sometimes citizens are tax revolutionaries
and special group members, simultaneously, There Is a popular desire to hold officials
accountable for their actions while withholding the power to act -' a desire that confers
responsibility without authority,

Our job wlil be to work to lull/ll our community's agenda and provide our professional support for
, ,
all 01 those sharing our Interests In creating a better'communlty,

MEMORANDUM
Date: November 2, 1993 '
To: City Council
From: City Manager
Re: Landfill Equipment. Small Dozer
The Iowa City Landfill, lor many years, was able to adequately maintain dally cover as required by the
IDNR with a compactor, a large dozer and a scrapper.
However, over the last two years the large dozer was out of selVlce lor several days and the City was
unable to continuously provide dally cover. As a result of these circumstances, the IDNR Is now
requiring the City to have a 'back-up' piece of equipment on site for each piece 01 equipment used to
maintain the landfill working face, If the compaclor breaks down, the dozer can push dirt as long as
a stockpile Is maintained near the working face, However, no piece of equipment Is as versatile as the
. dozer and, therefore, the Landfill operation Is literally 'shut down' when the dozer Is out of selVlce.
New IDNR Cell Construction Regulations require the placement of an Impermeable membrane covered
by 6 Inches 01 sand on the floor and side slopes, Heavy equipment can no longer maneuver up and
down the side slopes resuillng In a much greater effort to bring dirt to the wOrking face. Much of the
time, especially during wet weather, the large dozer Is used to push the scrapper and cannot assist at
the working lace as necessary.
The small dozer the Solid Waste Division has been renting the past several months, In order to satisfy
the IDNR requirements, has become a necessary piece of equipment for the Solid Waste Division. The
rental charge Is $2,700 per week. The dozer can be purchased for $97,7BO,90. Public Works has
recommended the purchase to provide back-up to the primary dozer, to assist with dally cover at the
working lace, and assist with cleanup and surface restoration at the compost site and reoycllng area.
Replacement of this dozer should not be necessary for 10 years since It will be used primarily for light
day work. I have authorized the Department 01 Public Works to proceed. As a note of Interest, this Is
one of those 'sneaky mandates' that we often forget about as the IDNR requires certain landfill
procedures and the equipment thai Is required,

Deer Ms. Grimlund:
In response to your recent letter concerning the recycling drop.off locetion et our Public Works
area, we ara aware of some of the shortcomings of that site, particularly given its heavy use.
You have observed that the area may be sitting in a puddle of spilled oil. There has been an
accumulation of rainwater and, in conjunction with some of the leaky containers, as you point
out, it could appear to be spilled oil. We have had the site inspacted by DNR to assure us that
no environmental damage has or is likely to occur.
We are ettamptlng to develop alternete drop'off options, particularly for oil. You have
suggested that an effective solution may be an agreement with gareges, such as Jiffy Lube
and K.Mart. Unfortunately, we find just the opposite occurring, that being there eppears to
be no interast on their part in maintaining the oil eccumulation points let alone expand
collection further.
An altarnate suggestion mey be that you contact your community's city council end thereby
they develop a drop-off locetion more convenient to North Liberty residents. I am sure if such
an errangement were made, we could possibly consider combining the pick-up of our weste
oil with that 01 other communities.
I can assure you were are working toward reesoneble and cost-effective options.
Thank you for your intorest.
Sincerely,
...,

RECEiVED ~EP 13 1993

Sept~mber 9, 1993
Iowa City City Council
410 E Washington Street
Iowa City, lA, 52240
~~~
Dear Members of the City Council:
This letter is about the recycling of oil and batteries at the 1200 South
Riverside recycling center next to the wood chip piles. Unfortunately,it can
be only termed a mess. If you haven't been there recently, please, take a
look for yourself,
On September 7th, the whole area was sitting in a puddle of spilled oil
about 1/2 inch deep, and there have been previous spills. Apparently, without
proper supervision people bring leaky containers without lids, besides dumping
old paints and other garbage. Then these containers are set by the
maintenance people by the river where the presumably still leak until a
bimonthly pick. up. Pouring down bags and bags of lime pellets to absorb the
oil can't hide the pollution,
It seems to me that with some effort the City can come up with a better,
and perhaps more cost effective solution to oil recycling by working out an
egreement with several garages like Jiffy Lube, K'mart, etc. to take the waste
oil. They are set up with'proper tanks to pour the oil in. Otherwise the oil
and battery recycling area will need an adequate catch basin.
'a. 1((.
I hope that you will. action soon on this matter before we will need a much
costlier toxic clean-up,
Sincerely.
Ute Grimlund

The City cannot condition rezoning of the mobile home park on Eagle providing relocation
assistance to the mobile home park (esldents. Imposing an obligation to pay relocation fees
exceeds the City's authority under Iowa Code ~ 414.5 (1993) and violates Eagle's substentlve due
process rights under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Iowa Code
M04.6 (1993) does, however, permit a city to require relocation payments In the context of an
urban revitalization plan. If the City designates the area surrounding the mobile home perk as
an urben revitalization erea, the City can require developers dlspleclng qualified tenants to pay
relocation costs as a condition for receiving a tax exemption under the urban revitalization plen.
LEGAL ANALYSIS
Under Iowa Code g414.5 (1993), a city may impose conditions, In addition to existing regulations,
on property owners seeking rezoning of their property. However, g 414.5 requires that '[t]he
conditions must be reasonable and Imposed to satisfy public needs which are directly caused
by the requested change.' Iowa Code g414.5 (1993)(emphesls added). In addition, the due
process clause of the United Slates Constitution prohibits cities from exercising their pollee
power to Impose regulations which are arbitrary, capricious or unreesonable, This means the
City cannot reesonably Impose a requirement on Eagle to pay relocation assistance as a
condition of its requested rezoning If that condition goes beyond what courts consider
"reesonable'. Any attempt to do so would exceed the City's authority under g 414.5 end violate
Eagle's substantive due process rights under the United States Constitution.

The Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution prohibits state and local
governments from "depriv[lngJ any person of life, liberty. or property, without due process of law.
. ." U.S. Cons!. amend, 14 ~ 1. Courts generally apply a two part test to evaluate whether a
proposed regulation violates due process,
To justify the State In . , , Interposing its authority on behalf of the public, It must appear,
first, that the Interests of the publlc . , . require such Interference; and, second, that the
means are reasonably necessary for the accomplishment of the purpose, and not unduly
oppressive upon Individuals.
Goldblatt v. Hemostead, 369 U,S. 594.595 (1961) citlna Lawton v, Steele, 152 U.S. 133, 137

"
The guaranty of due process, as has often been held, demands only that the law shall
not be unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious, end that the means selected shall have a
real and substantial relation to the objective sought to be obtained,
PruneYard Shooolna Center v, Robins, 447 U,S. 74, 64.85 (1960). Iowa recognizes that
'[z]onlng decisions are sUbJect to substantive due process scrutiny, I.e" 'such decisions must
not be arbitrary and capricious so as to amount to an abuse of governmental power.'" Bakken
v. Cltv of Council Bluffs, 470 N,W.2d 34, 36 (Iowa 1991).

No Iowa cases address the Issue of whether a City can require a mobile home park owner to
provide relocation esslstance If the owner closes the park. I found only one case discussing this
question. In Guimont v, Clarke, 654 P.2d 1 (Wash. 1993), the Washington Supreme Court
examined the Mobile Home Relocation Assistance Act, a statute which required park owners to
provide monetary assistance for tenant relocation costs. While the Court acknowledged that the
State p'ossesses a legitimate Interest In addressing the problem of relocation expenses
associated with mobile home park closings, the Court found the requirement that park owners
pay those costs to be unduly oppre~slve to the landowner, unreasonable end, therefore, a
violation of the owners' substantive due process rights. Guimont, 654 P.2d at 16.
The Guimont case provides an excellent discussion of the factors the Washington Court
considered In balancing the public interest In providing relocation assistance with the burdens
the statute Imposed on the landowner.

We begin by examining the factors on the public's side. The Act represents the
Legislature's recognition that the problems caused by the closure of mobile home parks
are serious. We too note the seriousness of these problems, Mobile home perks provide
a source of low.cost housing for the elderly and those with low Incomes. These people
often cannot efford relocation costs, Yet by requiring the closing park owner to pay these
costs, which can amount to extremely high sums of money, the State Is placing the
burden of solving housing problems on the shoulders of a few, In Robinson v. Seattle.
suora. we recently struck down a city ordlnence as unduly oppressive where the
ordlnence required, among other things, relocation assistance to tenants displaced when
landowners demolished low Income housing on the owners' property, Robinson 119
Wash.2d at 55, 630 P,2d 316. We steted:
The problems of homelessness and a lack of low Income housing In Seattle are

decrease In affordable rental housing In the city of Seattle Is a burden to be
shouldered commonly and not imposed on individual property owners.
(Italics ours,) Robinson, 119 Wash,2d at 55, 830 P.2d 318. See also Sintra, 119
Wash,2d at 22, 829 P,2d 765. Ukewlse, In this case, the costs of relocating mobile home
owners, like the related and more general problems of maintaining an adequate supply
of low Income housing, are more properly the burden of society as a whole than of
Individual property owners, While the closing of a mobile home perk Is the Immediate
cause of the need for relocation asslstence, It Is the general unavailability of low
Income housing and the low Income statue of many of the mobile home owners that
Is the more fundamental reason why the relocation assistance Is necessary. An
Individual park owner who desires to close a park is not significantly more responsible
for these general society-wide problems than Is the rest of the population, Requiring
society as a whole to shoulder the costs of relocation assistance represents a far less
oppressive solution to the problem,
Guimont, 854 P,2d at 15 (emphasis added). The Court also noted that the statute Imposed
substantial costs on landowners simply because the owners wanted to exercise their right to
close a business, Based on this analysis, the Court concluded that '~he Act Is unduly oppressive
and violates substantive due process," Guimont, 854 P.2d at 16.
The analysis In Guimont clearly applies to the situation Involving the Towncrest Mobile Home
Court, Uke the situation In Washington. It "Is the general unavailability of low Income housing
and the low Income status of many of the mobile home owners that Is the more fundamental
reason why the relocation assistance Is necessary." Guimont. 854 P.2d at 15. Eagle Is not'
significantly more responsible for the lack of low Income housing and related problems In Iowa
City than the rest of the developers or the rest of the population. As such, It Is not reasonable
to require only Eagle to bear the cost of the relocation assistance. Any attempt by the City to
Impose such a requirement would clearly violate Eagle's substantive due process rights. In
addition, Imposing an unreasonable condition on the rezoning of the property goes beyond the
scope of ~414.5 which only permits th,e City to Impose reasonable conditions on property owners
seeking rezoning of their property.1
ALTERNATIVES
While the City cannot require payment of relocation assistance as a condition of rezoning the
property, Iowa lew does provide a mechanism for requiring payment of relocation fees which
could apply to this situation, Iowa Code Chapter 404 permits a city to designate an area of the
city as a revitalization area. ~404.6 sets forth regulations regarding relocation expenses of
tenants. Under ~404,6, the City must require compensation of at least one month's rent and may
require compensation for actual relocation expenses to qualified tenants who are displaced due
to action by the property owner to qualify for benefits under Chapter 404. ~404,6 further
provides:
lln a letter dated October 10, 1993, Eagle offered $25,000 toward relocation costs. While the
City cannot require Eagle to pay relocation assistance, Eagle may certainly volunteer to
contribute toward those costs and the City most certainly can accept any donations.

However, the city or county may require the persons causing the qualified tenanf to be
displaced to pay all or a part of the relocation payments as a condition for receiving a tax
exemption under section 404,3,
Iowa Code g404.6 (1993). Thus, If the City designates the area located at First and Muscatlne
as an urban revitalization area, the City could require any developer seeking a tax abatement to
pay the relocation costs set forth In g404.6.

It may seem Inconsistent that the City can, require developers to pay relocation fees as a
condition for receiving tax abatement under an urban revitalization plen and cannot require
slmliar payments as a condition of the rezoning. The requirement to pay relocation costs under
the urban revltellzatlon plan, however, carries with It a direct benefit In the form of a tax
abatement for the property owner. In contrast, requiring relocation payments as a condition of
the rezoning Imposes an undue burden without providing any corresponding benefit to the
property owner.

SUMMARY
In summary, the City cannot require Eagle to pay the costs of relocating the residents of the
Towncrest Mobile Home Park as a condition of rezoning the property. However, the City may
accept Eagle's offer to donate $25,000 toward the cost of relocating the residents of the mobile
home park or, If the City wants to require assistance to the residents, the City may pursue the
option of designating the area as an urban revitalization area under Iowa Code Chapter 404.

Modification of Existing Facilities, Remodeling Mandatad
1. All federally-funded facilities, such as the City, must comply with ADA requirements,
namely making all buildings readily accessible to persons with disabilities.
The City is complying with this requirement.
2. Private facifities that provide services and products to the public (known as "public
accommodations") must remodal to make their facilities "readily accessible" to persons
with disabilities if tha structural changes are "readily achlevabla"In terms of costs and
physical/construction constraints.
This requirement would apply to local businesses, inCluding restaurants; but as you can
see from Anne Burnside's memo, attached hereto, this question must be decided on
a case-by-case basis. This means there is no "hard and fast rule" as to whether a local
business is mandated to remodel that business in order to make its facilities "readily
accessible" to persons with disabilities.
In other words, Congress has left It up to the courts to decide. based on individual
complaints. whether a local business has complied with the ADA, I do not know at
this time whether legal services corporation, Iowa City office, intends to file individual
complaints such as this with the federal court or with the federal Justice Department,
but I will report to you at your City Council meeting November 9, 1993, concerning
any details I may obtain by thet date.
Modification of Existing Facilities Mandated After January 1992.lf Remodeled After That Date
1. It goes without saying that public facilities, such as the City and other governmental
buildings, must comply with the ADA because federally funded. as previously noted
above.

2. Private facilities which make meJor changes, such as renovation, rehabilitation or
changes in the "footprint" of a room must "to the maximum extant feasible" make the
facilities eccesslble to persons with disabilities.
This means that if "any altered feature" can be made accessible, It shall ba made
accessible, see Anne Burnside's memo, third unnumbered page.
Enforcement of the ADA
1. Locel authorities, including the Housing and Inspection Services Department, are not
granted enforcement powers under the ADA.
2. Instead, Congress has provided that aach individual person, who believes their rights
undar the ADA heve been violated, can do two things:
a. File an action in federal district court, which can be done on e pro se manner;
or
b. File a complaint with the federal Department of Justice, namely Attorney
General Janet Reno's Department. This would be similar to a discrimination
complaint filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC),
which is the federal equivalent of the City's Human Rights Commission and the
state's Civil Rights Commission.
Enforcement of the Building Codes
The City's H&IS Department is authorized to enforce the building code for new and altered
construction. This, however, does not place the City Into a position of enforcing the ADA as
such, see Ron Boose's memo attached, together with Anne Burnside's memo, her last page.
Recommendation
As Anne Burnside has Indicated In her memo, the best method to ensure protection of local
residents under the ADA's broad powers, at least from the City's standpoint Is education,ln
addi~on. of course, to the rights those persons have to enforce the ADA via the federal court
system and tho federal Justlca Department system.
Anne Burnside and I cen certainly be available for further discussion of these questions at a
, work session, as needed. In the meentime,I trust this Information will be of some esslstance
to you, but please do not hesitate to contact me If you have questions.

BACKGROUND: Several citizens have addressed the City Council and staff lately regarding
how they may ensure that local business establishments which aller or renovate their
buildings make such renovations In full compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act
("ADA"). To address this question fully, I will give a brief description of the ADA and of the
state and local building codes which apply to renovated structures.
;~ ,
(i
Americans With Disabilities Act, The ADA was signed Into law on July 26, 1990. It
con~l~ts of three titles: '
Tltl~ I prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of disability.
Title II prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by public entllies. This Title
applies to the services, programs and facilities of the City of Iowa City.
Title III prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by private entities In places of
public accommodation. This Title applies to all local business establishments which offer
goods and services to the pubtlc.
The effective date of Title iii of the ADA was January 26, 1992. All new construction of
structures such as restaurants, motels, groceries, etc" for which a building permit was issued
after the effective date must be designed and built to meet ADA standards. Title III Is divided
Into six major parts.
Subpart A discusses the relationship of Title iii to other laws, and to the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973 (more commonly known as "~504") In particular. This subpart states that the ADA
is not Intended to apply less rigorous standards than ~504 requires, For example, ~504
requires that all federally funded programs such as public housing be "readily accessible",
even if maJor structural alterations are necessary. In contrast, Title iii of the ADA requires
modlncatlon of existing structures only if the modlncatlons are "readily achievable". Readily
achievable Is defined In the Title es that which can be accomplished eeslly and without much
difficulty or expense. Therefore, a government building which falls under ~504 must be
remodelled to echleve accessibility, almost without regard to the cost of the remodelling. In
contrast, a restaurant which does not receive federel funds need not remodel to comply with
ADA standards of accessibility unless the remodelling can be achieved without difficulty or

expense, The ADA's lower standards for existing public accommodations will not dilute the
more stringent rules of ~504 for federally funded programs.
The term "readliy achievable" Is not clearly or specifically defined In the Title, despite
the request of meny commenters during the Rulemaklng process. According to the United
States Department of Justice which conducted the hearings and implemented the Rules, the
request for more specific guidance and definition of "readily achIevable" was left to be
resolved on a case.by.case basis due to the sheer number and variety of factors to be
weighed, ADA Handbook, 1i1.36, (Department of Justice, 1991), The Department apparently
takes the position that Congress believed such determinations should be made In a case
analysis forum rather than e rule application process. As I will discuss with respect to
Subpart E: Enforcement, I believe both Congress and the Department of Justice assume the
ADA will be enforced through litigation, where e case.by.case approach Is manageable.
,':
.'
..
I';
:,
Subpart B of Title ill sets out the general requirements and prohibitions of the Title.
The general rule of lhe Title Is found at ~36,201: "No Individual shali be discriminated against
on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities,
privileges, advantages, or accommodations of any place of public accommodation by any
private entity who owns, leases, or operates a place of public accommodation." There are
two Important coroliarles of this general rule, First, after much discussion, the Department
declined to deal directly with the Issue of who held primary liability for ADA compliance for a
leased property. Some commenters argued the tenant should be primarily liable since the
tenant had actual control of the premises, Other commenters argued the landlord/owner was
more often In a position to make structural changes and should be held primarily liable. The
Department solved the dliemma by leaving the matter open for the parties to negotiate. "Both
the landlord who owns the bulidlng that houses a place of public accommodation and the
tenant who owns or operates the place of public accommodation are public accommodations
SUbJect to the requirements of this part. As between the parties, allocation of responsibility
for complying with the obligations of this part may be determined by lease or other contract."

The second coroliary which must be kept In mind Is that the general rule Is meant to
be read with subparts C and D: specific requirements; new construction/alterations, The
specific provisions In Subparts C and D, Including the Iimltetlons on those provisions, control
over the general rule where both specific and general rules could apply. Resort to the
general provisions of subpart B Is only appropriate where there are no applicable specific
rules of guidance In subparts C or D, ADA Handbook, 11I.70, Therefore, the statement of the
general rule which Is often Invoked by concerned citizens that the ADA requires ali structures
to be accessible to the disabled, must be considered subject to the modifications to that rule
which are found In other parts of the ADA. In short, the ADA Is not a single, clear directive to
remove and prohibit barriers to accessibility. It Is a system of weighing the costs end benefits
of achieving fuli accessibliity, balanced on a clear goal of a berrler.free environment.
"
,
,.
Subpart C discusses topics such as discriminatory eligibility criteria, reasoneble
modifications of policies, practices or procedures, auxillery elds and services and reedliy
achievable removal of barriers and alternatives to barrier removal. Sections 36,304 and
36.305 of the Implementing Rules deal with the removal of berrlers In existing structures.
Section 36,304 provides that a public accommodation shall remove architectural barriers In
existing facilities, Including communication barriers that are structural In nature, where such
removal Is reedlly echleveble, I.e. easily accomplisheble and able to be carried out without

much difficulty or expense. The Department explains that the "readily achievable" standard
"strikes a balance between guaranteeing access to Individuals with disabilities and
recognizing the legitimate cost concerns of businesses and other private entllles,,,, where
retrofitting may prove costly," ADA Handbook, 11I-65. Installing ramps Is a barrier removal
contemplated by the section, but the requirement to Install an entryway ramp would be
weighed, for existing structures, against the resultent loss of selling or serving space.
Therefore, In determining the cost of the retrofit, the ADA would calculate the cost of
constructing the ramp, rebuilding the doorway, plus the cost to the business of lost serving
space. The Department suggests that a public accommodation generally would not be
required to remove a barrier to physical access posed by e flight of steps, If removal would
require extensive ramping or an elevator, Ramping a single step, however, will likely be
readily achievable, and ramping several steps will In many circumstances also be readily
achievable. However, the standard of readily achievable Is the lowest standard found In the
ADA: significantly lower than the "undue burden" standard which epplles to euxlllary aids or
the "undue hardship" standard which applies to accommodation In the area of employment.
ADA Handbook, at 11I.87. The Department determined that the duty to remove barriers Is a
continuing one, but declined to establish a requirement for annual self.evaluatlon by public
accommodations, The Department, Instead, "encourages" public accommodations to
"diminish the threat of litigation by Identifying the most efficient means of providing required
access", ADA Handbook at 11I-89. All of Subpart C's barrier removal requirements are subject
to Subpart D's requirements regarding alterations of existing structure, so that an
establishment cannot meet the ADA barrier removal obligation by a method which does not
meet ADA standards. An alternative to barrier removal Is provided by ~36.3W which permlls
accommodation when removal Is not readily achievable. For example, a restaurant which Is
not required to ramp a flight of stairs may be required to provide curb service or home
delivery, without additional charge.
Section 36.402 contains the requirements for existing structures which undergo
alteration or renovation after the effective date of the Act. The general rule provides that any
alteration to a place of public accommodation made after January 26, 1992 shall be made so
as to ensure that, to the maximum extent feasible, the altered portions of the facility are
readily accessible to end usable by Individuals with disabilities. Alterations Include
remodeling, renovation, rehabilitation, reconstruction, historic restoration, changes In
structural parts and changes In the plan configuration of walls. If an existing element, space
or common area Is allered, then the elteratlon must comply with the ADA Accessibility
Guidelines ("ADAAG"). ~36.402(a) and (b). Any altered feature of a facility thet can be made
accessible shall be made accessible. 36.402(C), Also, If allerations are made which effect the
usability of a primary function area, the path of travel to that area must be reedlly eccesslble
to persons with disabilities unless the cost and scope of the elteratlon Is disproportionate to
the cost of the overall alteration. A primary function of a facility Is a major activity for which
the facility Is Intended. Alterations for an accessible path of travel to the altered area are
deemed disproportionate to the overall alteration when the cost exceeds 20% of the cost of
the alteration to the primary function area, ~36.403(a.n.
The foregoing Is a very brief and superficial summary of the ADA as It relates to some
of the questions being posed by citizens about renovated restaurants which are not readily
accessible to persons with disabilities.
Subpart E discusses the remedies and enforcement mechenlsms available under the
ADA, The Housing and Inspection Services (HIS) staff are not granted enforcement power of

State and local law. The Iowa City Building Inspection Division Is obligated to
enforce all building codes, Including accessibility standards, as set out In the Code of Iowa
and the Iowa City Code of Ordinances. Chapter 103A, Code of Iowa requires government
subdivisions such as municipalities to enforce state accessibility standards. Chapter 104A,
Code of Iowa provides that all newly constructed public end private buildings In this state
must meet the accessibility standards. The standards are found In the Iowa Administrative
Code at Chapter 16. Rehabilitation and renovation projects must comply must with the
standards when local building codes require compliance with "new construction" standards.
Turning to local code, when an element, space, feature or area of an existing building Is
altered, that element must comply with the accessibility standards. ~311 0, ~ sea., Uniform
Building Code (1991),

Accessibility requirements for renovations of existing structures In Iowa City. Our
local and state building codes do not require that all portions of a renovated public
accommodation meet accessibility standards, If a structure changes ownership but continues
to be used for the same purpose, the renovation of some portion of the structure will not
always trigger a requirement that the entire facility be brought up to code, For example, a
doorway for a facility will not be required to meet accessibility codes unless the doorway Itself
If altered. That does not mean the same structure satisfies the ADA. It Is possible that a
violation of ADA exists and a citizen could file a complaint with the Department of Justice.
City response. The Mayor has asked the Iowa City Human Rights Commission to
take an active role In promoting voluntary compliance with the ADA, and the Commissioners
have agreed to take up the project. Discussions are also underway with the building
Inspectors to find ways to Inform building owners and tenants of their obligations end
liabilities under ADA at the time of plan review. While our city Inspectors may not have
enforcement power, they recognize they are In a unique position to educate the community
about the existence and Importance of the Act.
Another solution which has been dlsc,ussed Is amending our local codes so that they
equal or parellel the ADA. The Important question raised by this proposal Is the effect upon
building code enforcement. The ADA Is not a building code. It Is a civil rights code which Is
accompanied by accessibility guidelines, As can be seen by the previous discussion of
certain relevant ADA provisions, the application of the ADA Is not mechanical or even linear.
The decision whether a doorway must be redesigned and/or ramped can be answered In a
straightforward way under state end local building codes: If the element Is changed, It must
be upgreded. However, under an ADA analysis, the Inspector will often have to perform
evaluations of the cost of the change, the expense and/or lost revenue to the business of
requiring the change, and other factors, Thus, the real question becomes whether, as a
policy matter, It Is desirable to have building Inspectors making such evaluations.
I would be happy to discuss any of these topics with you further, and look forward to
working with City staff towerd full Implementation of the ADA In Iowa City.

Ron Boose, Sr. Building Inspector m
Building Inspection Division Policies Concerning Enforcementof ADA
From:
Re:
The Americans with Disabilities Act gives civil rights protection to individuals with disabilities
similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, sex, national origin, and religion.
As such, it is a civil rights act and not bUilding codes legislation. Responsibility for compliance
is placed with bUilding and business owners and responsibility of enforcement with the
Department of Justice. State and local building codes may apply for certificetion of their
accessibiiity standards from the Attorney General; however, state and local bUilding codes are
not dictated or changed by ADA regulations,
All cities in lowe are mandated by state law to enforce the state "accessibility rules and
regulations for the physically handicapped" on all new construction and on existing
construction "as such construction is required to meet new construction requirements." Both
Iowa state and Iowa City building codes require existing buildings to comply with require-
ments for new construction when a change is made "in the character of occupancies or use
of any building which would place the building in a different division of the same group of
occupancy or in a different group of occupancies." Simply stated, when a building's use or
occupancy category is changed, it must comply with all current building codes, including
accessibility standards, conversely" when a building's use or occupancy category is not
changed, only the remodeled areas and work are required to comply with current codes.
ADA does state that existing businesses must remove barriers to the handicapped when such
alterations are "readily achievable." The definition of readily achievable in each situation Is
Ii function of both physical and financial feasibility and must be determined by the individual
business owner or the Department of Justice. and not the local bUilding department.
It is the responsibility of the Iowa City Building Inspection Division to enforce all building
codas, inClUding accessibility standards when state law or local ordinance dictate their
enforcement. It is also our policy to advise bUilding and business owners of the axistence of
ADA and further advise them to seek guidance from their design or legal consultants as to
how It may affect their particular business or bUilding.
Specific examples of this policy and responsibility include the former locations of The Kitchen
and Dil/burger restaurants which did go through some interior remodeling and change in
ownership, but not a Change in use end were not reouired to meet accessibility standards. On
the other hand, the new locations of The Kitchen, Magnifico's, and Sub Shop restaurants did
constitute a Change in use and were required to meet accessibility standards.

Nelahborhood Ooen Soace
Last summer, after nearly two years of work by a committee of four people [two members, Ann
BovbJerg and Casey Cook, from the Planning and Zoning Commission and two members, Dee
Vanderhoef and John Watson, from the Parks and Recreation Commission], the City Council
approved the Neighborhood Open Space Plan as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The
committee considered approval of the plan as the first step In its work. The next major step:
drafting and approval of the ordinance to Implement the plan. An auxiliary function of the
committee Is to update the Neighborhood Open Space Plan on a regular basis.

The time has come to start work on the Implementing ordinance. Dee and Ann have both offered
to continue to serve on the Neighborhood Open Space Commltlee. However, two of the
committee members, Casey, who resigned from the Planning and Zoning Commission, and John,
whose term expires on the Parks and Recreation Commission, will no longer be serving on their
respective commissions. Both Casey and John are willing to continue to serve on the
Neighborhood Open Space Committee as ad hoc members. Staff views this as a positive
commitment; an extension of valuable experience and knowledge for the complicated tasks
ahead. Staff would appreciate the Commission's affirmation of the ad hoc membership proposal.
Staff would also appreciate the appointment of one additional member from each commission to
serve on the Neighborhood Open Space Committee; a participatory, leamlng experlencel This
would create a six person committee, which would meet approximately once a month until the
Neighborhood Open Space Ordinance is adopted In the Spring of 1994, and would continue to
meet on an as needed basis to update the Neighborhood Open Space Plan.
Tree Preservation
Work has been progressing, albeit slowly, on the Tree Preservation Ordinance. I have been
meeting with the Woodlands Committee, a subcommittee of the Riverfront and Natural Areas
Commission, and Clly staff during the last few months. A three.pronged strategy has evolved:
1) preservation of trees along street frontages; a Tree Preservation Corridor Ordinance, 2)
preservation of large slands of trees on undeveloped properties; a Woodlands Preservation
Ordinance, and 3) strengthening the tree preservation elements of the Site Plan Review
Ordln~nce and the Grading and Erosion Control Ordinance.

This process Is stili In the formative stages. Because each of the three proposed 'prongs" will
Involve the Zoning Ordinance or other ordinances under the purview of the Planning and Zoning
Commission, staff requests that two or more members of the Commission volunteer to meet with
the Woodlands Committee to develop tree preservation ordinances for the Iowa City community.
I anticipate that the Tree Preservation Committee will be meeting on at least a monthly basis
durtng the next six to nine months.
I will attend your Informal Commission meeting on November 1, 1993, and am hopeful that we
can forge ahead with your help to bring these long-awaited ordinances Into being.

OLD CAPITOL
M' A' L' L
Dear Joe,
The Old Capitol Mall's Board of Directors would like to expiess out' continued support for
the Capitol Street Ra'llp parking policy that prohibits parking on the lower levels before
10 a.m. Monday' Friday. It is evident when analyzing the sales figures that, since the policy
has been implemen ted business in Old Capitol Mall has improved. We would also like to '
note that the number of complaints has dropped off dramatically. We believe the majority
of customers are now aware of the policy and pleased that finding a parking spot is a bit
more convenient. Consequently, the Board of Directors would like to recommend that this
policy carried through 1994.
We would also like to make you aware of our Greeter Program. As, we did last year,
beginning Monday, December 13 the Old Capitol Mall Merchants Association will be greeting
people as they enter either side of the Capitol Street Ramp between 8:30 and 10 a.m. At that
time we will inform them of the parking policy, give them a detailed flier outlining the
policy and provide them with a complimentary shopping bag. The greeting will occur
Monday through Friday due to the mall's extended hour in the morning (9 a.m. to 9 p,m.-
Weekdays). This program should eliminate any problems from arising as infrequent visitors
come downtown Iowa City to do their holiday shopping.
The Board of Directors would also like to express support for having permanent signage
posted/stenciled at the front of each effected parking stall before the holiday rush begins.
We believe by adding this extra signage the customers will no doubt get the, message,and
leave the downtown area with a positive altitude rather than a negative one.
We have appreciated your support from the beginning of this project nnd hope to see it
continue. If you have any questions or nced assistance with the Capitol Street Ramp, do not
hesitate to call.

Dear Resident,
As you may have noticed, in recent days we have transplanted
several new trees (White Oak and Autumn Purple Ash) to Willow Creek
Park. These trees were moved from the Forestry Division's nursery,
which was established to provide specimen trees for planting on
streets and in parks throughout the community. We will be
continuing these plantings along Teg Drive to the south and Benton
street to the west.
Some less desirable trees will be removed from these areas to
make room for these more appropriate species. We will be removing
Osage Orange (commonly called hedge apple), Box Elder, Willow and
Elm. The principal consideration for removing any of these trees
is always safety. The softball size Osage Orange fruit creates
quite a safety hazard. In the wrong hands it becomes a projectile,
and can even become a missile when ejected from a mower. Box
Elder, Willow and Elm are all very weak Wooded trees which as they
become older easily sUccumb to the wind. They are poor choices for
the intensively used recreation areas in the park.
Does this mean we will be clear cutting the park, ABSOLUTELY
NOT. To soften the impact as much as possible we will be removing
the trees in a phased approach over the next few years. If you
have any questions, please feel free to call me at 356-5106.
Sincerely /
,"--

'The Ethics Bill' and the Loca1 Official
Overview
During the last two plus years Iowa's ethics law has been the subject of much
discussion and debate, There have been three mandated studies conducted of our ethics law:
one which was conducted by a committee of public membersj one which was conducted as a
legislative interim studyj and one that was conducted by a committee of local government
officials. Two major ethics bills, HF 2466 and HFI44, have passed in succeeding General
Assemblies, resulting in extensive changes to the .Conflicts of Interest. chapter, chapter 68B
of the Code, During the 1993 session, the ethics legislation that passed contained some new
changes that may impact on the way in which local officials and local govemment employees
may interact with stale govemment and with the general public. The provisions that perhaps
have the greatest effect on the personal lives of local government officials and employees
include the following: a new provision relating to conflicts of interest (68B,2A)j revisions to
the provision relating to acceptance of gifts (68B.22)j and revisions to the provision regarding
the acceptance of honoraria (68B.23). Changes that have perhaps a lesser effect, depending on
the circumstances, are the revised restrictions on lobbyists and provisions relating to ethical
complaints on the local level,
Conflicts of Interest
Section 68B.2A is a new section that prohibits persons who serve or are e,uployed by
the state or a political subdivision of the state from engaging in outside employment or
activities that are in conflict with the person's official duties and responsibilities, Persons with
unacceptable conflicts are required to either cease the outside employment or activity or to
disclose the conflict and refrain from taking official action related to the conflict, Three
situations in which unacceptable conflicts of interest are deemed to exist for local govemment
officials and employees are the following:
1) Situations in wh'ich the outside employment or activity involves the use of the local
govemment unit's time facilities, equipment, and supplies or the use of the local government
badge, uniform, business card, or other evidence of local government employment to gain an
advantage or monetary benefit that is not available to the rest of the general public. Examples
of prohibited conduct may include: using your position to get a perk or advantage that you
otherwise would not receive; or using your govemment office, equipment, or supplies to run
your private business,
2) Situations in which the outside employment involves the receipt of compensation by
someone other than the local govemment unit for the performance of regular duties .
Examples of prohibited conduct may include: a private individual or group of private
individuals wants/trys to pay you for doing something that you are required to do as part of
your job.
3) Situations where the outside employment or activity is subject to the official
control, inspection, review, audit, or enforcement authority of the local government official or
employee during the performance of the person's duties. Note that this is similar to the

conflict of interest/abstention from voting provisions that have been in place for some time;
Examples of prohibited conduct may include: approval or voting on your own contracts with
th~ city/county government; or inspection of your own facilities on behalf of the city or
county.
,
:1
The section does contain an exception for police, firefighters, and E,M.S. technicians
who provide off-duty services while wearing their official uniform, provided that the person
involved has secured the prior approval of the person's agency or local government unit to
engage in the activity. The new section 68B.2A is in addition to and does not supersede any
other rights or remedies provided by law.
Gifts and Honoraria
,
;;.1
The term 'gift' is now simply defined as anything of value for which legal
considerntion of equal or greater value is not received. The definition of 'honoraria' has also
been simplified to mean anything of value that is accepted or given as consideration for an
appearance, speech, or article. Although sections 68B,22 and 68B,23 have been stricken and
rewritten and may appear quite different from the old provisions, many of the changes in the
gift and honoraria statutes are due to the transfer of language from the former definitions of
the terms 'gift' and 'honoraria' to the new gift and honoraria statutes (68B.22 and 68B.23).
One of the important changes related to the changes in the gift and honoi'aria provisions is the
creation of a definition of the term 'restricted donor'. The receipt of gifts and honoraria is
only restricted under chapter 68B if the person giving the gift or paying the honoraria is a
restricted donor.

The gift law may perhaps best be understood as a series of questions, which if
answered in a certain way will tell you whether you may legally accept the gift. The questions
that you should ask yourself in determining whether you may, as a local official or local
employee, accept a particular item are as follows:
1. Am I covered by the statute?
-The statute applies to receipt of gifts by public officials, public employees, or
candidates or a member of the immediate family of one of those persons. Local officials
(officeholders of political subdivisions) are public officials. I.oca1 employees (persons
employed by political subdivisions) are public employees. A person is a member of a public
official's or public employee's immediate family if they are the spouse or dependent child of
the public official or employee. If you do not fall within one of those categories, the gift law
does not apply to the receipt of gifts by you,
2, If the statute does apply to me, am I receiving something for nothing?
-If you are paying a fair price Oegal consideration of equal or greater value) for
the item, the gift law does not apply to receipt of the item (i.e., it's not a giftl).
3, If I am gelting something for nothing or something at a reduced price, is the person
giving me the item a restricted donor?
-If the donor is not one of the persons described below, the gift law does not
apply and you may accept the gift.
-The gift law provides that restricted donors are any of the following persons:

1) Situations in which the outside employment or activity involves the use of the local
government unit's time facilities, equipment, and supplies or the use of the local government
badge, uniform, business card, or other evidence of local government employment to gain an
advantage or monetary benefit that is not available to the rest of the general public, Examples
of prohibited conduct may include: using your position to get a perk or advantage that you
otherwise would not receive; or using your government office, equipment, or supplies to run
your private business.
2) Situations in which the outside employment involves the receipt of compensation by
someone other than the local government unit for the performance o{ regular duties .
Examples of prohibited conduct may include: a private individual or group of private
individuals wants/trys to pay you (or doing something that you are required to do as part of
your job.
3) Situations where the outside employment or activity is subject to the official
control, inspection, review, audit, or enforcement authority of the local government official or
employee during the performance of the person's duties. Note that this is similar to the

conflict of interest/abstention from voting provisions that have been in place for some timej
Examples of prohibited conduct may include: approval or voting on your own contracts with
th~ city/county government; or inspection of your own facilities on behalf of the city or
county.
The section does contain an exception for police, firefighters, and E,M.S. technicians
who provide off-<luty services while wearing their official uniform, provided that the person
involved has secured the prior approval of the person's agency or local government unit to
engage in the activity. The new section 68B,2A is in addition to and does not supersede any
other rights or remedies provided by law.
Gifts and Honoraria
The term "gift" is now simply defined as anything of value for which legal
consideration of equal or greater value is not received. The definition of "honoraria" has also
been simplified to mean anything of value that is accepted or given as consideration for an
appearance, speech, or article. Although sections 68B.22 ana 68B,23 have been stricken and
rewritten and may appear quite different from the old provisions, many of the changes in the
gift and honoraria statutes are due to the transfer of language from the former definitions of
the terms "gift" and "honoraria" to the new gift and honoraria statutes (68B.22 and 68B.23).
One of the important changes related to the changes in the gift and honoi'aria provisions is the
creation of a definition of the term "restric,ted donor". The receipt of gifts and honoraria is
only restricted under chapter 68B if the person giving the gift or paying the honoraria is a
restricted donor.
The gift law may perhaps best be understood as a series of questions, which if
answered in a certain way will tell you whether you may legally accept the gift. The questions
that you should ask yourself in determining whether you may, as a local official or local
employee, accept a particular item are as follows:
1. Am I covered by the statute?
-The statute applies to receipt of gifts by public officials, public employees, or
candidates or a member of the immediate family of one of those persons, Loca1 officials
(officeholders of political subdivisions) are public officials. Local employees (persons
employed by political subdivisions) are public employees. A person is a member of a public
official's or public employee's immediate family if they are the spouse or dependent child of
the public official or employee, If you do not fall within one of those categories, the gift law
does not apply to the receipt of gifts by you.
2. If the statute does apply to me, am I receiving something for nothing?
-If you are paying a fair price Oegal consideration of equal or greater value) for
the item, the gift law does not apply to receipt of the item (i,e., it's not a giftl).
3. If I am getting something for nothing or something at a reduced price, is the person
giving me the item a restricted donor?
-If the donor is not one of the persons described below, the gift law does not
apply and you may accept the gift.
-The gift law provides that restricted donors are any of the following persons:

a) A person who is or who is seeking to be party to anyone or
any combination of sales, purchases, leases, or contracts to,
from, or with the agency in which the donee (recipient of the
item) holds office or is employed.
b) A person who personally will be, or is the agent of a person
who will be, directly and substantially affected financially by the
performance or nonperfonnance of the donee's official duty in a
way that is greater than the effect on the public generally or on a
substantial class of persons to which the person belongs as a
member ofa profession, occupation, industry, or region.
c) A person who is personally, or who is the agent of a person
who is, the subject of or party to a matter which is pending
before a subunit of a regulatory agency and over which the the
donee (recipient of the item) has discretionary authority as part of
the donee's official duties or employment within the regulatory
agency subunit.
II) A person who is a lobbyist, or a client of a lobbyist with
respect to matters within the donee's (the recipient of the item)
jurisdiction.
4. If the person is a restricted donor, does the law contain an exclusion that permits
acceptance of the gift?
-If there is not, acceptance of the gift is prohibited under the gift law
and you can not accept the item. (NOTE: SEE #S however, if you find
yourself stuck with something that is a prohibited gift.)
-If there is an exclusion, you can accept the item,
S. If you end up with a nonmonetary item that is clearly a gift, you can avoid being in
violation of the law if you give the gift, within 30 days, to one of the following:
a) A public body
b) The department of general services
c) Abona fide educational or charitable organization if no part of the
net earnings of the educational or charitable organization inures to the
benefit of any private stockholder or other individual (generally these are
nonprofit organizations that qualify for tax-exempt status under Iowa
law).

As was mentioned previously, acceptance of a gift from a restricted donor is prohibited
unless an exclusion applies. The gift law was also modified during this last session by adding
and changing several of the exclusions from the general prohibition against accepting gifts
from restricted donors, The new exclusions and changes to the gift law include:
1. Items may be received by a public official or public employee from a bona fide
charitable, professional, educational, or business organization to which the person belongs as a
dues paying member, if the dues paid are not inconsequential when compared to the items
accepted.

2. The actual expenses for registration may now also be accepted in exchange for
participation in a panel or speaking engagement at a meeting. Actual expenses for food,
beverages, travel and lodging were already permitted.
3. The exclusion which related to acceptance of gifts during regularly scheduled events
during conferenCes, seminars, or meetings that are sponsored by certain organizations was
expanded to include organiz<ltions that are primarily composed of state or local govemment
officials. Likewise the exclusion for the giving of gifts to those organizations was also ,
expanded.
4. The blanket exclusion for gifts of food and drink with a value under three dollars has
been changed to an exclusion for nonmonetary items with a value of three dollars or less.
S. Funeral flowers or memorials to a church or nonprofit organization are now
specifically excluded.
6. Wedding and twenty-fifth and fiftieth wedding anniversary gifts given to public
officials or public employees are now also excluded.
7. The economic development exclusion was moved from a stand alone exclusion to the
list of exclusions. The language has been expanded to include delegations to develop markets
for Iowa businesses or products, The exclusion now also contains language permiting the
receipt of food and drink from the business or businesses being contacted during the economic
development activity, if the food and drink is consumed during the meeting., The public
official or public employee now also does not have to specifically make a presentation during
the course of the economic development activity, but must playa significant role in the
presentation to the business or businesses;
8. Gifts with only personal value that are given by citizens of foreign countries, if gift
giving is customary in that country or is given during a ceremonial presentation, are now also
among the list of exclusions.
Language is added to the gift statute which states that organiz<ltions or associations which have
as one of their purposes the encouragement of the passage, defeat, introduction, or
modification of legislation are not to give and members of the general assembly are not to
acceept food, beverages, registration, or scheduled entertainment with a per person value in
excess of three dollars.
The honoraria provisions contain substantially the same requirements as the under the
provisions which existed prior to the passage ofHF 144, during the most recent legislative
session, However, as is the case with gifts, registration expenses may now be accepted, in
addition to actual expenses for food, beverages, travel and lodging,if they are given in
exchange for participation in a panel or a speaking engagement and if the expenses relate
directly to the day or days on which the recipient has participation responsibilities.
Lobbyin~
Prior to the most recent General Assembly, the provisions that had generated some of
the greatest concern on the local level were the restrictions on the lobbying of state
govemment by local elected officials. The new law contains substantial changes in this area,

The "lobbyist" definition is narrowed to focus on individuals who act directly and either spend
$1000 annually, receive compensation, or act as the representative of a public or private entity
to encourage the passage, defeat, approval, veto, or modification of legislation, a rule, or an
executive order at the state level, An activity which does not meet the criteria is not lobbying
by definition and is therefore not regulated under chapter 68B. The statute previously
contained rather inclusive language that provided that action designed to influence the
decisions of an agency of state government or stale official came within the defmition of
lobbying, but that language was stricken as a result of the passage of HF 144 in 1993.
The lobbyist definition exclusions are changed to exclude all federal, state, and local
elected officials woo are performing the duties and responsibilities of office; persons who give
testimony or provide information or assistance at sessions of legislative committees or at public
hearings of state agencies; persons who are giving testimony or information at the request of a
public official or employee; the staff of the United States Congress or the Iowa General
Assembly; agency officials or employees who communicate within their own agency or with
another agency with which their agency is collaborating on a project; members of various
organizations who are not paid or who are not specifically designated as the organizations'
representatives; and persons whose activities are limited to submitting information in writing
or who are requesting an opportunity to make an oral presentation during the administrative
mlemaking process. The language which provided an exclusion for lawyers who were
representing their clients is deleted.
Local Ethics Complainls
The ethics bill contains references to ethics complaints and questions as they pertain to
local government officials and employees. Section 68B.26 now provides that complaints
regarding the conduct of local officials or local employees which violates chapter 68B are to be
filed with the county attorney in the county where the accused resides. New section 68B.32A,
subsection II, provides that the new Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board is to establish a
procedure for the requesting and issuing of formal and informal board opinions to, among
olhers, local officials and employees.

THE TYRANNY OF UNFUNDED MANDATES
Kent Sovern, Director of Legislative Services
i.eague of Iowa Municipalities
Budget gurus estimate that by the year 2000 every penny of revenue sent to the black hole
of federal government will be committed for entitlements to individuals. There will be no'
revenue, except that which is borrowed, to pay the interest on the federal deb~ run the
military, collect taxes, or run any of the other functions of government
In order to force state and local governments to carry out federal priorities, the lawmakers
in Washington, D,C., enact what are'called "unfunded mandates," Through this process,
Congress shifts the responsibility for funding and administering federal programs to state
and local governments. As a resul~ revenues raised to fund state or local priorities are
committed to the programs enacted by Congress.
State policymakers have been quick to learn this trick from these federal masters of
budgetary chicanery. As the federal government pushes unfunded mandates and increased
responsibility for federal programs onto the states, the state government pushes many of
those costs onto the cities and counties through "shift and shaft" budgeting, So, what does
all this mean for cities and taXpayers? The federal government sbifts the responsibility, the
state government shifts the burden and the taxpayers and the cities and counties they live
in get the shaft.

Congress will eventually cap their support of entitlement programs and will pass the
difference on to the states, The costs of federal prograins will continue to eat up large
chunks of state and local budgets, The state will be forced to cap, and eventually reduce,
its spending for federally-mandated programs. The inevitable shifting of costs to local
governments will gobble up city and county budgets, committing local tax revenues to state
and federal programs, The state cannot pursue its agenda and at the same time bear the
costs of the federal programs. City governments cannot address the needs of their citizens
while being forced to shoulder the ever,increasing costs of unfunded federal and state
mandated programs.
Some state lawmakers have begun to address this problem by proposing what are known
as "fair play" amendments to bills that contain unfunded mandates, and by supporting bills
like House File (HF) 234. HF 234 provides that a city or county is not required to comply
with a state mandate enacted, or otherwise imposed, after July I, 1993, unless the state
appropriates money to fully fund the mandate. The bill, a small first step in correcting the
problem, passed in the Iowa House of Representatives during the 1993 session and is
currently languishing in the Iowa Senate,

The League of Iowa Municipalities has joined forces with the Iowa Farm Bureau
Federation and other interested groupS in an effort to raise public awareness of this vital
issue. The imposition of unfunded mandates on cities by other levels of government erodes
the foundation upon which state and local tax policies are bullt, and disregards the most
basic principles of representative governance. Local officials are elected to assure the use
efficient use of local resources in response to the needs of their constituents. By failing to
fully fund mandated programs, the state and federal governments short circuit the ability
of local elected officials to set priorities in a manner is responsive to community needs.

You can help stop this intrusive shift. shift. sh!!fi budgeting and poliey process, Let your
state and federal represenatives know that you will no longer stand for the diversion of
local revenues to satisfy unfunded mandates.

ill!!!!. 3-3-3 - MELROSE WORST CASE SCENARIO. Based on the cletetiotatlon of
citles aiidli'EllghbOtnoods acros5iiiii:!nca ovet the last 45 years thete is a
teallstlc Worst Case Scenario for Meltose Avenue in Iowa Clty and in Umverslty
Helghts. "'TiUS WotSt Case tesults ftom policles, plans, plannlng assUl1lfltions
(planning declslons that are unwn tten), and "lOcremental construction" by Iowa
Clty, Ulowa and UI-HOSpltal. The Wotst Case Scenano lS as follows:
l--Iowa Clty ln concurrencewrtii UIOwa-Hospital euilds a 4-lane Melrose
Bndge and a 4-lane or 5-lane Melrose Avenue in Iowa Clty. The UIOwa-HOSpltal
does not bUlld any altetnatlve entrance-exits to take traffic away from Mel-
rose. As a result of dumping traffic onto Melrose since 1973, Melrose's in-
tended capaclty of 7,000 is nearly douoled and projE'Ctions go nlgher and hlgh-
er. The congestlon oecomes lntoleraole to many lOterests.
2--Either the Iowa Leglslature or the Iowa Dept. of Transpottatien man-
date Melrose a 4-lane Ot 5-lane thorougnfate through Unlverslty Helghts. The
tlloroughfate lS bUllt. "TraffiC, llke watet, flows whete lt lS least reslsted."
Trafflc, congestlon, accldents and risks of accldents, air pollutlon, nOlse,
exceed pteVlOus hlgtlS ln 1973, 1983, and 1993.
3--The trafflc ftom Melrese causes ptofound advetse consequences on 16
areas of urban envlroomental qua 11 ty of ilfa lncluding aestlletics, buffer,
value of l1Ouslng, hlStOtlC preservation, pollutlon, safety, secUtlty, social
well Delng, etc. (See IC's 1985 Urban Env. pollcles and 16-PolOt EA Scale.)
4--Qver a flve year penod slOgle-famlly l10using on Meltose and the
adjacent streets of Koset, Hlghland, Grand and Prospect are negatlvely impacted
and the owners leave bY selllng or tentlng. Tne U-Helghts Clty CounciL tesclnds
ordlnances and downzones ptopertles to accomrodate multlple-occupancy (room-
unlts for students, etc.).
The same process fllght oy selllng or tantlng occurs ln Iowa Clty on
Melrose Avenue, Trlangle Place, Melrose Place, Melrose Cucle, Melrose Court,
Locon Drlve, Brookland, Myrtle, Grand Court and BYlOgton Road.
The Ulowa bUYS Meltose ptoperty provldlng additional land fot Ulowa use,
for eKample, a patklng lot ftom the Iowa Rlver to McBrlde Road.
5--Qn Melrose Avenue ln Iowa City and ln U-Helghts bouslng accOlmOOates

FLOOD CRISIS PUTS TEMPORARY HOLD ON
MELROSE AVENUS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
FOCUS GROUP
By Jan Cureton
On August 9, 1993, the University Heights Council was infonned that there has been no progress in
formulating the focus group agreed upon at the joint meeting of the Iowa City and University Heights
Councils in July. The purpose of the group is to determine which elements should be selected to evaluate
possible adverse or beneficial impacts on the area, if Melrose Avenue is made into a 4-Iane thoroughfare.
However, considering the persistent flooding, cleanup and repair problems, the lack of action by the Iowa
City Council is not surprising.
Council member, Mrs. Glenn Jacobsen, who was appointed to serve as a representative on the task force
reported that sbe had received a letter from Iowa City Manager, Steve Atkins, in response to the Council's
request !bat a noo-elected citizen of University Heights be included in the focus group. Atkins stated !bat
only one representative would be allowed from University Heights.Council member Arthur Nowak
objected, saying !bat Atkin's statement was unacceptable. The Council concuned. A letter stating their
objections and signed by Mayor Rhodes was set to the Iowa City Attorney, with a copy to Atkins.
Following up on the U-Heights regulation that residents must obtain permission to plant trees in the area
between the street and the sidewalk, Kevin Froelich, landscape architect at Shive-Hattery, recommended
Norway maples, However, permission is still required in order to avoid damage to telephone, sewer or
waterlines.
Re-stripeing and repair of the streets under the supervision of City Engineer, Ray Willoughby, has finally
been accomplished thanks in part to the sunny fall weather. A different kind of F,int was used for the
stripeing which is supposed to last at least 3 or 4 years. This represents a conslllerable saving of tax
money, and the paint appears to be mucb brighter at nighL Repair of the potholes and disintegrating streets
is greatly appreciated by the residents.
The Iowa Department of Transportatioo infonned Mayor Rhodes tbat University Heights is eligible to ap-
ply for a $5,000. grant to evaluate traffic flow. The Council approved, and the application has been made.
University Heights will miss Emery Rhodes who has served this community for so many years. When he
announced !bat he would not run for re-election this fall, he chuckled as he said, . After twelve years on the
Council, and 6 years as mayor. rm looking forward to taking it easy."
The N & N Sanitation Company has announced its desire to discontinue garbage and trash collection in
University Heights by November IsL However, this will not occur until a suitable conln1Ctor is found to
take over this operation, All garbage tags, decals, and lawn refuse bags will continue to be honored, and
there will be no interruption of garbage collection schedules.

Paratransit Alternatives Study
for the Iowa City Urbanized Area
Introduction
As part of the FY94 work program, Coralville, Iowa City and the University of Iowa requested
that the JCCOG Transportation Planning Division examine alternative organizational
arrangements for the provision of paratransit service in the Iowa City Urbanized Area,
Currently, Corelville and Iowa City contract with Johnson County SEATS for the provision of
paratransit service for persons with disabilities to meet the requiremants of the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA), The University operates Bionic Bus, which also meets the
requirements of ADA,
This study will initially look at the c,ost to Coralville and Iowa City of urbanized aree paratransit
service as currently provided by Johnson County SEATS, Then the cost of providing e
comparable level of service if Iowa City operated urbanized area para transit service will be
examined. Finally, a comparison of costs for paratransit service in other Iowa communities,
and the average costs nationally for paratranslt service will be examined,

. The existing level of para transit service will continue to be provided.
. Actual FY93 trips, revenue hours and revenue miles will be used to estimate future costs,
. Iowa City would require a fleet of eight vehicles - four raised-roof vans and four small
buses. to provide a service level comparable to what SEATS currently provides,
. SEATS will continue to operate paratransit service for Systems Unlimited, Goodwill, and
the rural portions of Johnson County,
. Vehicle maintenance for Iowa City operated paratransit service would be provided by the
Iowa City Equipment Division,
, i
Existing Service
SEATS currently operates " vehicles between 7 a,m,.5 p,m" Monday-Friday, for all urban
an~ rtJral servica, Two vehicles are scheduled for early morning service in the Iowa City area,
, Mr,nday.Friday, from 6.7 a,m, Two vahicles ere scheduled for evening service in the lowe
;:ity area Monday-Friday from 5., 0:30 p.m, On Saturday, two vahicles are scheduled for the
Iowa City aree between 6-8 a,m" four between 8 a,m,.2 p.m" and two between 2.7:30 p,m.
On Sundays, five vehicles are scheduled for the Iowa City area service between 8 a.m,,2 p,m,

In FY93 urbanized area service (Iowa City, Coralville and Univarsity Heights contracts)
accounted for 55% of the paratransit service provided by SEATS, SEATS does not operate
separate service just for the urban area, i,e, there are not a guaranteed number of vehicles
assigned for Iowa City and Coralville service. All SEATS vehicles cover all trips, urban and
rural, during the day, Since the urban service eccounted for 56% of all service in FY93, we
will use that number (55% of 11 vehicles = 6 vehicles) to approximate the number of
vehicles that Iowa City would need in service, at a minimum, to operate a paratransit system
for the urban area, All of the early morning service, night weekday service, and Saturday and
Sunday service would continue to operate in order to meet the comparable service criteria
under ADA, Sunday service is not required under ADA, but this analysis assumes that the
existing Sunday service will continue.
FY94 SEATS paratransit service contracts for Coralville and Iowa City were negotiated based
on a monthly "lump sum" payment versus the previous cost per trip and cost per hour
contracts, The FY94 contract amounts are as follows:

Three areas will be evaluated to determine what the expense would be for Iowa City to
operate urbanized aree para transit service: operational costs, maintenance costs, end capital
costs. The total cost can then be compared to the expense of the existing service provided
by SEATS.

Operstlng Costs
Based on total ridership, revenue miles and revenue hours, Coralville,lowa City and University
Heights paratransit service comprised 55% of the total SEATS operations In FY93, As was
mentioned In the previous section, SEATS operates 11 vehicles during peak ridership times,
We will assume lowe City would need six vehicles (55%) to provide the same level of '
para transit service, Service will remain the same since it Is required to meet the service
guidelines for persons with disabilities and to meet the complementary paratransit
requirements of ADA, The following table lists the vehicle requirements for Iowa City
operated para transit service.

Drivers to Provide Sel'lice
Labor costs for drivers were estimated at 80% of the existing Iowa City Transit operator entry
level pay scale, since nationally there is precedent among transit systems that operate their
own paratrensit systems for negotieting lower wage rates for para transit drivers versus fixed
route transit drivers, This would be determined by collective bargaining. The 80% figure
results in a starting paratransit driver rate of $7,58.$9,74 per hour, In FY93, fringe benefits
for Iowa City drivers were 23% of wages,
The expense for drivers based on the estimated 11 FTE thet would be needed is listed as

Maintenance Costs
The estimate of maintenance costs assumes that all maintenance of peratransit vehicles would
be done by the Iowa City Equipment Division, Iowa City'S Equipment Superintendent has
indicated that paratransit vehicles would be subjected to the same maintenance procedures
as all passanger vans operated by the City of Iowa City, This would include preventative
maintenance checks, as well as required oil changes, tire changes, etc,
The estimated maintenance cost per mile for a raised roof van would be $,50, and $,70 for
the small buses, For the purposes of this estimate, the actual vehicle miles from FY93 were
used to estimate total maintenance cost, 50% of the vehicle miles were assigned to the
reised.roof vens end 50% to the small buses,
The total ennual estimated maintenance cost for the proposed eight vehicles is:

Cap/tal Costs
This analysis assumes that Iowa City would need a total fleet of eight vehicles to provide
para transit service, The peak requirement would ba six with two spere vehicles. There would
be four conversion vans and four light-duty (small) buses similar to what SEATS currently
operates for urbanized area para transit service, All vehicles would be Iift'equipped and ADA
accessible,

The existing SEATS vehicles are part of the Region 10 East Central Iowa Transit System
(ECICOG), It is assumed for the purposas of this analysis that any SEATS vehicles no longer
needed in the Iowa City area would revert back to ECICOG and be used by one of the other
five county systems in the region. It is possible some older vehicles could become available
to Iowa City, but for this analysis it.ls assumed that Iowa City would have to purchase eight
new paratrensit vehicles, Federal Transit Administration (FT A) Section 9 or 3 capital funds
would be sought to provide 80% of the funding required, with local funds covering the
remaining 20%.

The current Iowa DOT funding guidelines for paratransit vehicles are: $35,200 for conversion

The current FT A guidelines for the replacement of conversion vans and light-duty buses are
four years or 100,000 miles and seven years or 200,000 miles, respectively, A reserve fund
would need to be established for the local share of future vehicle purchases, The first four
years would requira an annual reserve payment of $11,330 for the four vans and four buses
and years 5.7 would require a $4,840 reserve payment, The vans would be replaced efter
four years and the light-duty buses after seven yaars,
There are currently no federal capital funds available to Iowa City for peratranslt vehicle
purchases. Iowa DOT has submitted an FTA Section 3 (discretionary fundsl grant which Is
currently under review by FT A, Included in this application are replacement vehicles for

Comperlson of Totel Costs' Exisllng SEA TS Service vs, lowe City Peretrenslt Operetion
Based on the previous anelysls, the following cost estimates were developed to compare the
current SEATS urbanized aree para transit service with what it would cost Iowa City to operate
the seme level of paratransit service, Low, medium, end high estimates are shown based on
the $7,58 to $9.74 estimated pay range for drivers. These estimates assume a paratransit
driver wage rate which is 80% of the Iowa City Transit driver wage rate, and the availability
of $261,360 in Federal funds for purchasing capital equipment,

Korean Baptist Church, 1715 Mormon Trek Blvd.
Marcia Klingaman, Rick Fosse, Rob Winstead
66+ people (per sign-in sheet)
Staff discussed the goals of the meeting stressing that we have not begun the design
phase yet and may not be abie to address project specifics at this time. We presented
a topographic strip map, a, typical 31 foot pavement cross.section, a typical 34 foot
pavement cross-section and briefly discussed the work Shive Hattery is doing on the
pedestrian bridges over HI'lY, 218, It was stated that the CIty will need to get additional
right.-of-way and temporary construction easements through various portions of the
project and why they wouid be needed. We gave them our rough project schedule with
the goal of completing construction prior to the opening of Irving Weber School, but
advised that many factors can alter this schedule. We'then opened the meeting to the
residents for their comments and concerns. The discussion centered around the following
issues:

Traffic light at the Mormon Trek Blvd./Rohret Road intersection.
Realign the intersection of Mormon Trek Blvd./Rohret Road to line up with Cae
Drive,
A 34 foot pavement width with bike lanes is preferred over 31 feet (we heard
many peopie say, "the wider, the better")..
They would like to see trees planted in the parking.
They would like to see street lights installed.
Open Slothower Road or Phoenix Drive north to Melrose on a permanent basis
(not just during construction),
Detours/traffic control, Not many options available.
Maler Road/Highway 1 Intersection Is hazardous, making it undesirabie for a
detour route.
, Site distance at the Coli Drive/Rohret Road intersection.
Site distance at Mormon Trek Blvd./Rohret Road intersection. Can Rohret Road
be re-aligned to match Cae Drive?
Drainage, drainage, dralnage,
Emergency vehicle accessiblllty during construction.
