CITY OF IOWA CITY
Dear Colonel Kraus:
, ,j May I first thank you for the time and obvious preparation that went into your presentation to the Iowa
City City Council and all other local officials and citizens represented at our recent meeting, We
appreciate your positive response to our request for such a meeting, Hopefully, we have allleamed
some additional facts and related information conceming the responsibilities of the Rock Island District
of the Corps of Engineers.
......~

During the discussion it was clear to me that many elected representatives wish to be better prepared
to answer citizen inquiries about Corps activities, particularty as it might affect any changes in policies
or operating procedures, I recognize that the Corps must make difficult decisions and that a decision
which is beneficial to one party may affect another in a negative fashion, and therefore it is all that
much more important for us to be informed.
Evidently, you plan further review and while I appreciate the fact the review must be approved by
higher authority, some type of schedule of events would be helpful to us. If you have outlined the
activities, even in general terms, that you plan to undertake and rough timetables for that work, I would
appreciate receipt of that information. I recognize that it cannot be a hard and fast schedule and I
would certainly understand any rescheduling that might be necessary given the depth and expanse
of the review process. I would hope you would appreciate that this information can allow us to report
to our constituents that work is underway and that schedules are, in fact, considered. The Flood of
'93, for all practical purposes, certainly heightened our awareness of the flood management
responsibilities of the Coralville Reservoir and, therefore, heightened sensitivities along the Iowa River
Corridor, We have all grown to appreciate the positive recreational aspects, but now with the flood
potential to affect private residences and businesses, the dam management has become a critical
issue.

" Again, I would appreciate receipt of some schedule of work, and, again, many thanks for coming to
Iowa City and meeting with us, Thank you,

From: City Manager
Re: Community Vision - Comprehensive Plan ~pdate and Charter Review
In !he next few months, the City Council will be face'd with two issues of importance to our
community, that being the ten year review of our community's charter and the process of updating
the comprehensive plan, Clearly the City Council has set upon a course of greater citizen
involvement in the decisions of our community. This can be seen through the work of our 20+
boards and commissions and the 150 citizens who serve; a program of expanded neighborhood
participation with the creation of formal associations; use of issue specific focus groups; greater
public participation in capital project planning and in ge~eral more deliberate efforts to expand the
process of public participation in local government decisions. All of these factors and the
resultant participatory processes represent new opportunities for involvement by our citizens.
What follows is a proposal for community participation which I believe can fulfill the interest of the
City Council, our legal obligations and allow for greater participation in the comprehensive plan
and charter review.
Community planning is a systematic process whereby we hopefully anticipate and plan for our
future, It also can serve as an opportunity for reflection. The planning process and its strategic
implication needs to be embraced by the elected leadership, publicized, and sold to the
community. Community planning should be both a process and a product. The process involves
some systematic examination as suggested by the five-year comprehensive plan amendment
procedure, and the ten-year charter review, The product is the charter, our community's
constitution, as well as our comprehensive plan. The process and the product in combination are
valuable tools to elected officials, the community, and the municipal organization charged with
fulfilling the goal attainment responsibilities. Such a plan and the associated process is also a
vision of the future. The process and products of community planning do not relieve decision
makers of their ongoing responsibilities, but create a foundation for which we can all draw support
for the decisions to be made in our future. Planning will not resolve all community conflicts,
although it may draw opposing factio~s closer together. While it may not unite or create

consensus, it does provide a direction toward the resolution of dispute, conflict and other
community opinion while assuring that a basic community vision is fulfilled. It cannot be a one
time endeavor but should be constant and ongoing and thereby some flexibility is built into
planning. This is represented by our own plan amendment and charter review process. The very
flexibility encouraged is often the subject of debate, but a community cannot change all the
conditions or eliminate uncertainty; however, it can formulate a vision of the future and a means
by which to achieve it. A community with vision has the energy, in my judgment to look at our
tomorrow with enthusiasm, commitment and a sense of legacy.
I would propose the City Council create community task forces on various topical areas such as
public safety, transportation, human services, etc. These topics are closely aligned with the
format of our comprehensive plan; however, would be somewhat broader in scope as shown later
in this memorandum. These task forces will be made up of our citizens who would be charged
with the responsibility of reviewing the elements of the comprehensive plan, or in the case of the
charter review commission (task force) our charter, review current goals and objectives, provide
analysis, and recommend goals and objectives as they see fit. They would be created for the
specific purpose of the comprehensive plan and charter. Upon completion of their work, they
would be disbanded and their work continued as appropriate by the existing City boards and
commissions.
We are, in effect, creating a citizen participation process to establish a vision for our community
with goals to sharpen our focus on the future; serve as an instrument to update our comprehen-
sive plan; and perform the charter review as required.
Each Task Force would:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Have a maximum of nine members.
Preferably consist of members who are not members of another task force.
Include members knowledgeable or involved in the specific issue.
Be representative of a broad cross-section of viewpoints. One of the most critical
elements of the success of this process is to have a balance/variety of opinions and
interests.
Require full participation by its members.
Have at its disposal reasonable resources to function effectively (City staff person to be
assigned).
Function by arriving at consensus.

8. Appoint a chair/team leader/process observer to minimize deviation from the subject and
assure productivity of the discussions. (Staff could serve if the task force wished.)
9. Meet as often as needed to ensure successful completion of the assigned task, but
deadlines would be established to complete the work of each task force,
10. Encourage participation by current City board/commission members, although not more
than two persons from a board/commission may be assigned to a task force (e.g, no task
force would have more than two members of RNAC or Board of Adjustment, etc.).
11, Review existing City policy documents and directly relevant material to the policy area (to
be prepared by staff).
12, Consider all future issues in terms of the year 2005,
13, Iowa City citizens only.
:-
Recommendations will be compiled and prepared in a format convenient for further review (similar
to the comp plan policy outline) or charter ordinance, as appropriate, Wherever practical, the
recommendations will be forwarded, to the City's boards/commissions for their comment or to the
City Council in the case of the charter ordinance; Upon review by the boards/commissions, those
elements pertinent to the comp plan will be directed to the Planning and Zoning Commission for
their review and final recommendations for the comprehensive plan update. Except for the
charter review, the City's planning staff will be responsible for compiling and integrating the work
of the task forces and taking the documents through the boards, commissions and City Council,
The work of the task forces will also be compiled into a community vision statement, the
introductory statement to our comp plan. The vision statement would reflect the concept of what
our community is all about; what it stands for; what are its dreams; what are the driving forces;
and core values.
Community Task Forces
The following represents the proposed topical areas for each of the task forces. Also indicated
are community interest groups which the Council may wish to contact to offer an opportunity for
representation on the task force. These are suggestions and there are likely to be others which
are of interest to you. I would remind you of the importance of balanced representation in order
to achieve not only the interests and variety of opinions, but also to secure community support
for their findings/recommendations. Some task forces are likely to have broad philosophical
interests generated in discussions, while others may be more technical reviews. Each task force

personality will determine the extent of review, although as I have outlined in the review
procedures, philosophical and visionary review is by far the most important.
I would envision the Council offer opportunities for various representative groups to place a
member on a particular task force, The remaining membership would be made up of citizens
interested in serving. Some form of notice would be initiated to offer citizens an opportunity to
express not only interest but also which task force assignment they prefer. Possibly asking each
to rank in priority order their top three choices, and allowing Council to select. Experience shows
that for a task force to function effectively, it should be kept small in number and, therefore, it is
conceivable that everyone who wishes to serve may not be able to do so.
Furthermore, I would encourage a rather short time frame for reporting. The scheduling and
logistical support for this undertaking will be difficult but with a challenge by the Council to the
tasl< forces to review their thoughts/recommendations promptly will be helpful. From my
experience in a somewhat similar undertaking, the deadline works well to guide the work effort.
The Director of Planning will assume the major coordinating responsibility, and upon completion
of the task force assignments must compile, direct the work product to other boards/commissions,
secure commentary, and fashion for your final review.

2. ,Where have we been?
It is wise to look back and see where the community has been, before looking toward new
horizons. A view of the community's history can elicit insightful perspeciives for the future.

· What are the community's strengths, weaknesses?
· What opportunities exist to move the community toward its
vision?
· What barriers can impede success?
Communities are constant laboratories of change. Populations age. Some areas grow.
Others decline. Economic swings bring prosperity to one and joblessness to another.
3. Discussion of community vision as it relates to the specific charge of the task force.
Each community has a concept of what it is all about and its dreams for the future. Our
citizens want to know where our leaders plan to take us and therefore want more
influence on the future of our community, A vision involves exploratory questions, such
as:
· What is the essence of our community?
· What are the driving forces?
· What are the core values?
· How can it make a difference'in the lives of our citizens?
Vision is a motivating force. Each task force should determine such a vision for their area
of responsibility.
4,
Where are we going?
The task force should brainstorm new goals and directions. Brainstorming is to stimulate
the free flow of ideas. All ideas have equal status, and issues such as cost, time and
materials should not be discussed. This is the risk-free environment that encourages
participation.
5.
What are the goals?
At this point evaluation takes place, and goals (ideas) are rewritten, combined, or
discarded. Factors such as expense, impact on' other resources, on-going expense
commitments are considered. Various levels of goals can be established - high,
medium, low.

We are asking approximately 100 citizens to give of their time to address very specific community
interests; translate their commitment to do this work into a workable plan; and secure the full
community support for the process we are recommending and the resultant work products - a
comprehensive plan and a review of our community's charter. Their work effort will become a
blueprint for action and decision making.

.
Such a community planning initiative is not without its pitfalls. Greater involvement creates
greater expectations and with it so will the community opinions as to how the City Council uses
the recommended course of action (goals) and future (vision). This proposed process and
resultant plans are intended to provide the Council with an indication of community interests,
fashioned into a statement of collective guidance for your use in the many decisions you face now
and in the future.

Re: Work Activities - City Manager's Office
In your packet you will be receiving a copy of a proposed community planning program for
updating the Comprehensive Plan as well as performing the ten year review of the City charter.
These matters have been discussed in great detail and I believe they represent your collective
interest in public participation and fulfill obligations to the community to undertake these reviews.
Of specific importance is the significant time commitment both from my office and that of the
Director of Planning. Other key City staff will be involved in the review as well. I bring this to
your attention in that with this undertaking my normal work efforts at the day to day internal
.
activities of the City organization will'be distracted. I am not concerned about the organization
continuing to perform satisfactorily due to the quality of our departmental leadership but I felt
obligated to point out to you the proposed public participation process in our Comprehensive Plan
and charter review will require significant time commitments. It is my judgment that the two major
community reviews (updates) are of critical importance and deserving of my full attention. I do
not see any lessening of the work demand for the routine activities and your agenda will remain
full, but I wanted to identify and develop some appreciation for the upcoming work effort,
assuming you accept our proposal.

Weed and Brush Control
RE:
"
.f
In response to your inquiry about our weed and brush control
procedures, the vast majority within the Parks and Recreation
Department is accomplished through normal mowing/cutting methods.
This invol ves the use of various mowers I weed trimmers and,
occasionally chain saws,
,.
"
In recent years, we have used chemicals very sparingly, The
Forestry Division will use Roundup once (maybe twice) a year in the
nursery to prepare a "pathway" for planting new trees, They will
also use 2-4-D (Weed-B-Gone) as needed to suppress poison ivy,
The Cemetery Division will occasionally spot spray with 2-4-D for
poison ivy. Although they haven't sprayed dandelions in the last
three or four years, it is necessary to do so on rare occasion,
" '
..~
i
,~
r:
~~
\ "
\
,
~
,
within the Parks, there has been no chemical use of any kind in the
past two years. It may be necessary in the upcoming year to apply
Roundup in a few areas (i,e, along some fence lines and parking
lots where trimming is difficult and time consuming),
Along street medians for which we have responsibility, we do little
spraying (none in the past two years), It may be necessary,
however, to do some spraying for dandelions this year. Last year
they were very prevalent in the Iowa Avenue medians, and we
received numerous complaints,

Re; Brush and Weed Control
:-.-
;,
Brush and weed removal along public rights-ot-way is generally the responsibility ot the abutting
property owner. However, along unimproved streets through undeveloped areas, paved highway
medians, and public rights-ot-way adjacent to City-owned property, the City assumes
, responsibility tor weed and brush control. The Parks Department generally maintains the right-ot-
way abutting City-owned property and the Public Works Department generally maintains the right-
ot-way along unimproved'streets through undeveloped areas, and paved highway medians.
Along unimproved streets through undeveloped areas the Public Works Department qnly controls
brush. The brush is cut down and the stump sprayed with chemicals to inhibit re-growth. Weeds
are not controlled by City staff along unimproved streets. Along paved highway medians,
department personnel spray the weeds that grow between the median paving joints with a
chemical such as Roundup.
Brush and weed control is the responsibility ot the Streets Division. Two Street Division
personnel have the required state license tor the chemical application herein described.

You requested information concerning procedures and policies
concerning weed and brush control at the Airport, We normally
spend two days in April or May to spray the areas of the Airport
that require weed and grass control, These are areas that require
some type of control but are not practical to mow. This 'includes
several thousand feet of fence line, around the runway lights and
reflectors, and random cracks in the pavement,

In the past, an outside contractor was hired to broadcast spray the
hard-surfaced areas, But because of environmental concerns, and to
reduce budget expenses, spraying is now done by Airport personnel.
Equipment is leased and areas are sprayed by hand to avoid over-
spray, Proper safety procedures are observed to protect employees
and to protect areas where weed control is not wanted or needed,

Enclosed is a memo from Jeff Davidson to the Planning & Zoning Commission dated October 12,
1992. This memo discusses the City's policy regarding requirements for ,secondary access and
suggests adoption of standards to address this issue. The Commission chose not to adopt any
standards by ordinance but requested the staff to use the five points listed as guidelines for the
review of subdivisions. This review was done for the Walnut Ridge amended planned
development (OPDH) and preliminary plat as it Is now done for all subdivisions.

City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
Date: October 12, 1992
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Jeff Davidson, Asst. Director of Planning & Community Development -;I
Re: Re-evaluation of City of Iowa City Secondary Access Polley
The City's policy regarding secondary access Is part of a larger set of policies which govern
subdivisions and additions of property to the city. The rights of the City to control land use
decisions were enacted by statute in 1931 and incorporated Into Section 409A of the Code of
Iowa. The rationale for the statute is summarized in the following 1969 excerpt from the Iowa Law
Review.
Once an area of the City is developed, the cost of change becomes prohibitive,
and It becomes evident that a subdivider has cast the pattern for the future of the
community. Since urbanization of raw land at the City's edge is now the most
important development area, it is here that the most significant public influence
should be exerted. Although the Individual subdivider may see his particular
subdivision as a complete unit, the planning agency or commission must
necessarily view it as a segment of an entire community.
The excerpt goes on to say that for the general health of the community the city must ensure that
public services and facilities can be provided to new subdivisions and additions In an effective
manner. This specifically includes streets which can handle the anticipated traffic which will be
generated.
Existing Policy
The City's polley on secondary street access is summarized on page 67 of the Iowa City
Comprehensive Plan, attached for your Information. The focal point of this polley is the following
statement:
The need for secondary access will be determined by the following factors
including but not limited to the size of the subdivision, the topography of the land,
the density of housing, the adequacy of existing streets serving the area, and the
existing and projected development of adjacent land.
This provides a broad policy statement on the City's requirements for secondary access to
subdivisions. This polley has become necessary because of the pattem of residential
development which has evolved over the ~ast 30 years. Traffic concerns have given increasing
favor to discontinuous street systems in newly developing areas.

A look at an Iowa City street map Illustrates this pattern of development. The pre-1965 areas of
the city are characterized by grid street systems. A grid street system provides many alternatives
for traffic to circulate. Post-1965 developments are characterized by much less continuity In the
street system, an obvious effort to decrease traffic on residential streets. This Is epitomized by
the cul-de-sac, a street design which provides for no circulation of traffic. A series of cul-de-sacs
puts pressure on the connecting .spine street,. which must bear the brunt of all the traffic
generated by the cul-de.sacs.
There are varying opinions as to whether a residential area should have one or several entrances.
As summarized in the ULI publication Residential Streets. the advantages of multiple access
points include:
1.
2.
3.
Reduced congestion and Internal traffic volumes due to alternative routes.
Diffusion of traffic impacts to the external road system.
Continuity in the internal street system for service, delivery, and maintenance vehicles.
The advantages of a single access point include:
1. Elimination of through traffic and shortcutters.
2. Increased security.
3. A greater sense of neighborhood Identity.
The rationality of the City's secondary access policy was'establlshed in the 1981 Iowa Supreme
Court case Oakes Construction Co. v. The City of Iowa City, Iowa. This was an appeal of a
District Court judgment upholding disapproval by the City of a preliminary subdivision plat. The
Supreme Court upheld the City's position of the necessity ,for secondary access to a 44 dwelling
unit subdivision. Testimony from City staff members outlined the following reasons why a single
means of access to the proposed subdivision would be Inadequate:
1.
The ability of the overall street network in the vicinity to circulate traffic would. be
inadequate.
It would exacerbate existing traffic problems and negatively impact the adjacent
neighborhood.
Emergency vehicle access would not be adequate.
Non-local traffic would be added to a street with an elementary school.
2.
3.
4.
, .
As previously stated, the vagueness of the Comprehensive Plan language has led to varying
interpretations of when a secondary means of access should be required to a development. On
occasion City staff has used a specific standard of 29 lots as being the point at which secondary
access should be required. It is believed this originated from a calculation based on a 900 foot
cul.de-sac under the City's former R1.B zoning classification. It Is clear that a blanket standard
such as this is not acceptable for all circumstances.
Proposed Standards for RequIrIng Secondary Access
I
It is recommended the City's polley on secondary access be based on the existing language in
the Comprehensive Plan, but that there be more specific standards on when secondary access
should be required. Staff has proposed the following checklist of criteria for consideration.

. ), ~
1: Secondary access shall be required if a proposed development will result in any portion
of, the single access road being overburdened with traffic. "Overburdened" shall be
defined as a projected traffic volume which exceeds the midpoint design volume as
deslgnated.ln the Iowa City Cpmprehensive Plan for a local, or collector street:
Local street: 500 vehicles per day
Collector street: 2500 vehicles pe~ day
Projected traffic volumes shall be determined by taking the most recent Average Dally
Traffic count which Is available, and adding to it projected traffic generation using the Trip
Generation manual published by the Institute of Traffic Engineers. In the ~sence of a
recent traffic count, projected traffic volumes shall be calculated by using the ITE trip
. generation rates for both existing and projected development.
2. A secondary means of access may be required when there are physical, features which '
would'lnhlblt emergency vehicle access If the single means of access were blocked.
These physical features may Include but are not limited to: slopes of 8% or greater,
floodplains as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, wetlands as
, designated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a bridged or culverted waterway,
vegetation with a trunk diameter over two inches, a grade separated highway, or a
railroad.

5. For a situation requiring secondary access, a single means of access. may be permitted
as a temporary condition. A temporary condition shall be defined as one where there I~
a written assurance from the City Council or a private developer that the road which would
provide secondary access will be constructed within three years.
I will be present at your November 2 meeting to discuss this matter. If these standards meet with
your approval, staff will develop language suitable for the City's subdivision regulations.

Re: Discussion of Street System Adequacy at March 7 Work Session
At your March 7 work session, we will be discussing the design of an adequate street system in
developing areas of the community, A concept which is very important to bring to the discussion
is that streets are not just used by automobiles. Streets, including adjacent sidewalks, are used
by every mode of transportation in this community. This includes transit, pedestrians, and
bicycles. Adequate street design is especially critical with arterial streets, which make up 10%
to 20% of our total street mileage but carry 40% to 65% of the traffic.
This concept of streets supporting all modes of transportation is one that we are trying to use
more consistently in our planning efforts. What we have learned from our existing street network
is that if arterial streets are inadequately designed and the various modes of transportation are
competing for space on an under-designed facility, the automobile will dominate the other modes.
We have several examples in this community of under-designed arterial streets which are carrying
10,000.15,000 motor vehicles a day. These streets are difficult for the transit system to use, and
uncomfortable for pedestrians and bicyclists. We feel this serves to discourage alternative modes
of transportation since it sends a signal to the community that the motor vehicle is the preferred
mode of transportation. If arterial streets are designed to facilitate bus, pedestrian, and bicyc,le
travel, then we feel it will encourage use of these modes of transportation. Adequate design
includes bus stop pull-offs, adequate corner turning radii for buses, overwidth lanes for bicycles,
and 8 foot sidewalks.
Another important impact we hope you will consider in the design of the arterial street system is
the impact on the adjoining neighborhood. Part of our consideration in designing arterial streets
in newly developing areas is assuring that neighborhood residential development is sensitively
integrated with the street network. This means making sure that arterials are designed on the
edge of the neighborhood, that building setbacks and buffering is increased along the arterial, and
that direct driveway access to the arterial is eliminated. Scott Boulevard is a good example of
a successfully integrated arterial in a residential setting. If inadequately designed, we feel arterial
streets in newly developing areas will create the same difficulties we have in existing inner city
neighborhoods, such as Summit, Kirkwood, and Melrose.
We look forward to the discussion Monday, March 7, and hope to address the concerns you have
regarding the issues associated with adequate street design in newly developing areas of our
community.

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 12,1992
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Jeff Davidson, Ass!. Director of Planning & Community Development -;II
Re: Re.evaluatlon of City of Iowa City Secondary Access Policy
The City's policy regarding secondary access is part of a larger set of policies which govern
subdivisions and additions of property to the city. The rights of the City to control land use
decisions were enacted by statute in 1931 and incorporated into Section 409A of the Code of
Iowa. The rationale for the statute is summarized in the following 1969 excerpt from the Iowa Law
Review.
Once an area of the City is developed, the cost of change becomes prohibitive,
and it becomes evident that a subdivider has cast the pattern for the future of the
community. Since urbanization of raw land at the City's edge is now the most
important development area, it is here that the most significant public influence
, should be exerted. Although the individual subdivider may see his particular
subdivision as a complete unit, the planning agency or commission must
necessarily view it as a segment of an entire community.
The excerpt goes on to say that for the general health of the community the city must ensure that
public services and facilities can be provided to new subdivisions and additions in an effective
manner. This specifically includes streets which can handle the anticipated traffic which will be
generated.
Existing Policy
The City's policy on secondary street access is summarized on page 67 of the Iowa City
Comprehensive Plan, attached for your information. The focal point of this policy is the following
statement:
The need for secondary access will be determined by the following factors
including but not limited to the size of the subdivision, the topography of the land,
the density of housing, the adequacy of existing streets serving the area, and the
existing and projected qevelopment of adjacent land.
This provides a broad polley statement on the City's requirements for secondary access to
subdivisions. This policy has become necessary because of the pattern of residential
development which has evolved over the past 30 years. Traffic concerns have given Increasing
favor to discontinuous street systems In newly developing areas.

A look at an Iowa City street map illustrates this pattern of development. The pre-1965 areas of
the city are characterized by grid street systems. A grid street system provides many alternatives
for traffic to circulate. Post-1965 developments are characterized by much less continuity in the
street system, an obvious effort to decrease traffic on residential streets. This Is epitomized ,by
the cul.de-sac, a street design which provides for no circulation of traffic. A series of cul-de-sacs
puts pressure on the connecting "spine. street," which must bear the brunt of all the traffic
generated by the cul.de-sacs.
There are varying opinions as to whether a residential area should have one or several entrances.
As summarized in the ULI publication Residential Streets. the advantages of multiple access
points include:
1. Reduced congestion and internal traffic volumes due to alternative routes.
2. Diffusion of traffic impacts to the external road system.
3. Continuity in the internal street system for service, delivery, and maintenance vehicles.
The advantages of a single access point include:
1, Elimination of through traffic and shortcutters.
2. Increased security.
3. A greater sense of neighborhood identity.

The rationality of the City's secondary access policy was established in the 1981 Iowa Supreme
Court case Oakes Consfruction Co. v. The City of Iowa City, Iowa. This was an appeal of a
District Court judgment upholding disapproval by the City of a preliminary subdivision plat. The
Supreme Court upheld the City's position of the necessity for secondary access to a 44 dwelling
unit subdivision. Testimony from City staff members outlined the following reasons why a single
means of access to the proposed subdivision would be Inadequate:
1. The ability of the overall street network in the vicinity to circulate traffic would be
inadequate.
2. It would exacerbate existing traffic problems and negatively Impact the adjacent
neighborhood.
3. Emergency vehicle access would not be adequate.
4. Non-local traffic would be added to a street with an elementary school.

As previously stated, the vagueness of the Comprehensive Plan language has led to varying
interpretations of when a secondary means of access should be required to a development. On
occasion City staff has used a specific standard of 29 lots as being the point at which secondary
access should be required. It is believed this originated from a calculation based on a 900 foot
cul.de-sac under the City's former R1-B zoning classification. It Is clear that a blanket standard
such as this is not acceptable for all circumstances.
Proposed Standards for Requiring Secondary Access
It Is recommended the City's policy on secondary access be based on the existing language In
the Comprehensive Plan, but that there be more specific standards on when secondary access
should be required. Staff has proposed the following checklist of criteria for consideration.

Proposed Fringe Area Policy Agreement
From:
Re:
Based upon comments received at the January 24, 1994, public hearing held by the Johnson County
Board of Supervisors and the Iowa City City Council concerning proposed amendments to the Fringe
Area Policy Agreement, there appear to be two options to explore that would address many of the
concerns expressed by both bodies: (1) do nothing or (2) amend the proposed policy for Fringe Area
B, the area east and south of Iowa City,
Option No.1: Option 1 would require the City and the County to continue to rely on the policies of
the existing Fringe Area Agreement which is effective until January 1, 2005, Some may regard this
as a palatable approach in light of the proposed amendments to the agreement but it ignores the
problem that prompted us to consider amendments to the agreement in the first place; that is. that the
terms of the agreement were ambiguous enough to permit both jurisdictions to interpret and apply the
, policies of the agreement differently. The credibility and effectiveness of the document have been
affected by these differences.
Option No.2: The source of disagreement regarding the pro'posed policy for Fringe Area B is the
recommendation that much of the land within one mile of Iowa City be downzoned to A-1, Rural. In
these areas of high annexation potential, it is in the City's interest not to approve subdivisions which
have been designed to rural development standards,
The existinQ Fringe Agreement requires imposing City Urban Design Standards on any development
within one mile of the City's eastern and southern corporate limits. These standards were adopted
as a disincentive to rural development in potentially annexable areas, but have not been imposed, in
total, by the City or the County. There are practical problems with the maintenance of unused sewer
and water lines, and problems with enforcement; the County has no inspection system for such
improvements, The proposed agreement, by suggesting downzoning of undeveloped residential land
to agricultural uses, removed the possibility of developing highly annexable land according to
compromised standards, County representatives voiced objeclions to the new Fringe Area B polley
based on their perception that this policy would produce litigation against the County.
If the Fringe Area B polley could be amended to protect the City's interests and diminish the County's
vulnerability to litigation, we may be able to salvage the proposed Fringe Area Agreement. In addition
to adhering to the exlstlnQ fringe policy for areas east and south of Iowa City by requiring City Urban
Design standards, we could also consider obliging development in these areas to be clustered in order
to get a more urban-like development pattern. We could also explore the legality and feasibility of
requiring all construction one mile east and south of Iowa City to meet the City's building and fire
codes.
I would suggest that we explore option no. 2 before considering option no. 1. I think the proposed
polley has advantages over the existing agreement for both jurisdictions. I will proceed to work with
, the Fringe Area Subcommittee on option no. 2 unless directed to do otherwise.

upstream damage. He explained that Corps representatives have been participating in town hall
meetings, met with city and county staffs and held meetings with the City of Des Moines 'and Red
Cross. Kraus explained that in order to try to provide further assistance to the public the Corps is
holding three flood-fighting seminars within the region In Quad City area, Des Moines and Quincy, to
bring people up to date on the oullook for 1994.
Gary Loss distributed copies of the overhead transparencies used In his presentation. Loss presented
a brief overview of some alternative operation plans for the Reservoir, information from the National
Weather Service (NWS), and the Corps' outlook for flooding in 1994, Kraus used overhead
transparencies to present information.
Slide: Coralville Reservoir
Kraus explained that the Coralville Reservoir was authorized in 1938 Flood Control Act for flood control
below Coralville on the Iowa and Mississippi rivers. Kraus explained that the 1938 Flood Control Act
also was used for low flow augmentation during drought periods and recreational opportunllles,
Slide: 1938 Flood Control Act

Scientific Assessment Study Team (SAST) - Appointed by White House looking at
what happened in Flood of 1993
City of Coralville - Highway 6 raise, raise streets near Clear Creek, berms' along Iowa
River and Clear Creek, and technical information and permit coordination with
Corps,
Slide: 1994 Spring Flood. Parameters for Flooding
Loss stated the Corps considers the following factors to determine the likelihood of a flood:
Snow depth and location
Water in snow pack
Soil saturation
Frost depth
Stream flow conditions
Temperatures during snow melt
Rainfall during spring snow melt flood,
Slide: 1994 Spring Flood. Snow Depth in Minnesota
Slide: 1994 Spring Flood. Stream Flow In Iowa
Loss stated this is information received from the NWS last week.
Loss stated that snow depth in Minnesota and Wisconsin is sufficient to cause minor to moderate
flooding on Mississippi River; Snow depth in northern Iowa has potential for minor flooding on Iowa-
Cedar Rivers and Des Moines River; Soil saturation is slightly above normal but less than this time
in 1993; Frost depth less than normal in northern Iowa; Stream flow in Iowa River basin was 15% of
1993 flow for mid-February prior to the recent snow melt; 30 day forecast is for normal precipitation
and below normal temperatures; 90 day forecast is for normal to below normal precipitation in the
upper Mississippi River basin and below normal temperatures; Snow melt flood potential is minor.
Colonel Kraus noted the Corps recognizes the need to look at their regulation plan. Kraus explained
that the Corps did an initial quick review to determine whether a change was needed in the regulating
plan on an emergency basis and decided not to make an immediate change in the plan. Kraus
explained that the Corps is brainstorming and developing possible contingencies.
QUESTIONS FROM LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS AND PUBLIC
Reel 94-31, Side 1
City Council Member Throgmorton asked if the Corps of Engineers contingency plans will be placed
in writing so other people will have the opportunity to review and comment on them. Colonel Kraus
explained that the Corps has held brainstorming sessions and will tailor whatever plan to a given
situation, It was stated that the Corps has worked with the National Weather Service to improve the
gauging systems, Loss explained that the Corps made daily contacts with Coralville and Iowa City
and water treatment plant staff during the 1993 flood.
City of Coralville Council Member AI Axeen asked if the Corps' contingency plan will be permanentiy
adjusted for Rapid Creek and Clear Creek crests. Kraus stated that that action is not part of the
official regulatory plan and when the Corps develops the permanent revised plan it will be taken into
consideration.

Iowa City Council Member Pigott asked if the Corps has updated or are in the process of considering
updating the possible different levy heights. Colonel Kraus explained that the Corps has been trying
to find out the various levy changes and to what threshold point the various places start having
difficulties, Council Member Pigott requested the Corps give written updates, Pigott also asked if the
Corps of Engineers will use a computer bulletin board for information exchange. Colonel Kraus stated
the Corps has extensive networks, Bill Koellner stated that the NWS distributes on a weather wire
which comes to the City of Iowa City and the Sheriff of Johnson County. Kraus explained that the
Corps is in the process of establishing a bulletin board in Rock Island and hopes to have it on-line
within the next couple of months, Loss explained that during the high water periods the Corps had
several people in Iowa City to work with local officials and to relay information from Rock Island,
Iowa City Council Member Kubby referred to the Coralville operation plans and the proposed Molnar/
Newsom figures, Kubby asked the Corps about the concept of establishing slower outflows earlier,
and what other cities are using surface water for their water supply, Loss stated that the University
of Iowa plant uses surface water for their water supply. Loss explained that the Corps works closely
with the Iowa DNR to establish minimum release levels; noting once there is water loss from the
conservation pool by letting it out, they cannot get that water back again, Kubby asked the Corps to
look at the amount of development that has occurred since the last time the plan was updated,
Colonel Kraus stated that local governments should try to manage the flood plain. Kubby asked
Colonel Kraus what kind of responsibilities and opportunities there are for local governmental bodies
to request certain operations at the dam, Colonel Kraus stated that local governmental bodies can
raise concerns and have the opportunity to be involved, Kubby asked what responsibilities the Corps
has to do what local representatives ask them to do. Loss explained that the responsibility is given
to the Corps of Engineers by Congress as far as how they operate, The Corps also explained that
the GAD does internal audits,
Horowitz asked if the Corps evaluates what happens to other cities when a city establishes certain
mitigation measures, Colonel Kraus explained that is primarily the state and local authorities that
regulate the flood plain and that in the upper Mississippi basin there is no joint effort to manage the
flood plain, Kraus stated there is no overall management structure that orchestrates management of
the flood plain or raising the levy, Kraus stated the Corps is not involved in flood plain management
business and has no regulatory authority as far as the flood plain. Loss explained that the State of
Iowa regulates to 1/101h of a foot increase in flood heights for a 1 DO-year event.
Johnson County Board of Supervisor Joe Bolkcom asked if the Corps feels the emergency communi-
cation system is adequate. Kraus stated that the Corps has developed improved communications as
far as the gauge systems and established written standard operating procedures between the Corps
and local officials. Balkcom asked who actually makes decisions for the deviation from the regulation
plan. Kraus stated that he would have to endorse any real deviation from the plan and it would have
to be approved by the North Central Division headquarters in Chicago, Bolkcom emphasized that he
has received a number of concerns from the farming community south of Iowa City about flooding and
that it has been a historical problem for people. Bolkcom asked about compensation. Kraus explained
that the Corps shares those concerns. Kraus explained that the Corps does not regulate a lot of the
tributaries that come Into the Iowa River.
A member of the audience asked if the Corps should continue its 38 year old plan to hold 6,000 cfs.
outflow during crop season given the fact that the Reservoir is filling up with silt. Colonel Kraus stated
that the Corps believes it can do it right now, and stated that sedimentation will be one of the factors '
considered in the re-evaluatlon of the regulation plan. George Johnson stated that most of the
sedimentation is occurring in the conservation pools. Loss explained that when the regulation plan
changes were made in 1991 to compensate for the sediment that has been accumulating over 38
years, other adjustments were made to maintain the release schedule. Loss stated that they raised
the control of Burlington about two feet in 1991. The same audience member asked if the Corps of
Engineers are benefitting anyone by holding the outflow to 6,000 cfs. Loss stated yes, that it benefits

stated that some of those fields are behind levies that are currently being repaired. The audience I

I
has been done.
Doug Wakefield, Iowa City resident, asked why the public should have confidence and how is the ! '
Corps going to allay fears of persons living downstream from the Coralville Reservoir, Wakefield
emphasized that the Corps needs to do a better job of communicating what the Corps' thought
processes are and what contingencies are being established. Kraus stated that the Corps has had
',' a lot of exchange of information. Kraus emphasized that the Corps has made efforts to enhance
"
j communications between the Corps and the local officials and establish written SOP's (standard

T, J, Lea stated that her neighborhood was significantly damaged during the 1993 flood, Lea stated
" that at 11,000 cfs. her yard and septic systems are impacted. Lea asked Corps representatives to
explain the contingency plan as outlined in the Coralville operations plan, colored yellow. Lea also
asked Corps representatives to comment on the Molnar/Newsom 2/18 handout which stated (under
liThe FEMA Line"), liThe Corps has repeatedly, and publicly stated their desire to r~ise the river level
if the water plant is modified to accommodate this. II Loss explained the Coralville operations
contingency plan. Loss stated that at elevation 707 the Corps would increase from 5,000 to 7,000 cfs.
released during crop season, and another foot in the pool the Corps would go up to 710, and then
would stairstep up from there, Loss stated that the quote that Lea is referring to is the flood plain
" designation for the 100 year flood plain and the study Is done and tied in with the floodway
designation. Loss stated there is also a 100 year flood plain and as those people were flooded out
and tried to get federal financing for home repairs they had to be one foot above the 100 year flood
plain. Loss explained that the Corps found out in 1993 was at 24,600 released from Coralville
approximated the 100 year release because it was within a few inches of the contour drawn on the
maps. Loss stated it is not their intent to increase the discharge for a 100 year release.
A member of the audience asked if there were plans to try to eliminate the hazard of debris that is I
currently'lying on the banks of the river from the flooding. Loss stated that the Corps does not own
land or have regulatory authority for areas below the Coralville Dam and one should turn to their local I
governments. Colonel Kraus stated that the Corps could provide some emergency support to help !
alleviate a bottleneck jam but it is really state and local government responsibility. i:

i
The snow melt and resultant "run off" this past week has dramatically reduced the
quality of the City's raw water supply. The condition of the Iowa River water is
so poor that we cannot meet the CT (chlorine contact time) and turbidity (sediment
removal) limits without purchasing finish water from the University of Iowa,
It appears likely that it will be necessary to purchase from I million to 2.5 million
gallons per day for the next few days:

MEMORANDUM

Terry Trueblood
DATE: February 28, 1994
RE:
Fund Raising and Park Restoration Efforts
I think all of you are aware of the fact that former Mayor
Darrel Courtney established, a special fund raising committee
to raise funds from the private sector to help us restore our
flood-damaged parks, It occurred to me that you might be
interested in an update relative to this effort,
The original goal of the committee was to raise $150,000,
While this goal has not been officially changed, it now
appears that it won't be necessary to raise this ,much, This
is due to the fact that the recommendations for FEMA
reimbursement look quite favorable at this time. We have
received only one partial payment thus far, so there is still
some degree of uncertainty with respect to FEMA funds, Given
this uncertainty, we are estimating a range of $50,000 to
$100,000 in private funds that will be needed to supplement
city and FEMA funds, to fully restore the parks,
If anybody should ask, yes our fund raising efforts are still
proceeding, All contributions are channeled through the Iowa
City Parks and Recreation Foundation, making them tax
deductible, The following is an up-to-date financial report:

RE: Domestic Partners
Dear Mr. Helling:
Please be formally advised that AFSCME supports the notion of
providing insurance coverage for an employee's domestic partner on
the same basis as for an employee's traditional family. We believe that
the only change needed would be to expand the definition of '1amily" to
indude an employee's domestic partner and would suggest the
definition currently in use by the University of Iowa..
Please contact us if you need someihing further from us that would
enable the City to make this coverage available to an employee's
domestic partner.
Sinalrely,

Gays' spousal benefits:
stir Oak Park debate
I
,
Opponents claim plan goes too far "
By William Presecky
TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
"
Oak Park's attractions when
Mel Wilson moved his family
there in 1977 were its reputation
for diversity, civic debate and
fair,mindedness,
Then, the household consisted of
Wilson, his wife and their son,
Today. his household consists of
Wilson-now, at 51, openly gay-
and his domestic 'partner, also a
man, Each has a child from a for-
mer marriage who lives parltime
with the couple,
It is with such households in
mind that the western suburb is
considering becoming the first
municipallly in Illinois to offer
same-sex domestic partners of vll.
lage employees the same benefits
as spouses, including family
health insurance coverage, "
Wilson and the other 250 memo
bers of the Oak Parlt Gay and Les.
bian Alliance say that is only fair.
But some local opponents 'say
that, as tolerant as the village has
been toward gays, this proposal
goes too far. '
The village has about 500 em.
ployees, and Wilson estimated that
10 percent of them could be gay or
lesbian,
In addition to covering partners
of gay employees, the ordinance is
expected to set up a volunteer vil.
lage registry for all sa me. sex
couples, Neither part of the law
would cover unmarried heterosex.
ual couples,
Attorney Angellka Kuehn, a
volunteer legal consultant to both
Oak Park and to the association,
said Vlllage Attorney Raymond
Heise Is reviewing her draft of the
. ordinance. It wl11 be circulated
among the members of the Village
Board, she said, before a final pro.
,posed law is released for public
debate, wilhin the next month or
so,
'But the debate has already
begun. In late January, a group
called Concerned Citizens, Identl.
fied at the time by only a post of.
fice box number, sent a filer to
every home in Oak Park question.
JAW
<::pq' W
ing whether the ordinance is "Dls.
crimination or Imposition?"
The flier hit at the potentially
adverse economic impact of the
ordinance and what it calls "the
health dilemma" and' "the moral
question", that are' the basis for
much of the opposition,
"As Concerned Citizens, we be-
lieve that an ordinance granting
family status to homosexual
couples would be very unfair, and
its enactment would cause
, irreparable hann to the communi.
ty," the flier concludes,
Since then, members of the
group have identlfed themselves
in a . variety of public forums as
local residents, including mem~
bers of the clergy.
If the onIinance passes, ,It will
be implemented over an IS.month
period, according to Village presi.
dent Lawrence Christmas. The
earliest that an Oak Park emplOY-
ee's domestic partner could be eli.
gible for family benefits would be
during the 1995 bUdget year.
The task force says such poli.
cies are li1 place at some 40 busl.
nesses and an equal number of
public Institutions and govern.
mental units nationwide, In,
eluding the cities of Los Angeles,
New York, Seallle, San Francisco,
Washington, D.C" Baltimore and
Minneapolis,
In mid.December, over the ob.
jectlons of some aldennen who at.
tacked the action on moral
grounds, Ihe Chicago City Council
adopted an ordinance extending
the city's tradltionallhree-day 1\1.
neral leave to employees on the
death of a family member to lti:
clude the death of a domestic part:
nero
Arguments over a proposed O~ '
Park domestic part,nershlp law
are likely to recall those fou~
years ago when the village amend~
ed its ailtl.discrlminatlon poliCY to
outlaw discrimination based on
sexual orientation. Opponentil
then charged that the change
would erode traditional family
values and endorse or encourage ,
hOmOSeXuality.~~ .. I ..' , :t

WIC is a big contributor to the economy, $28 million a year spent on WIC foods in
grocery stores in Iowa alone., Locally 1700 participants redeem WIC checks valued
between $30 to $80 per month at area vendors. WIC is also the larges~~IOyer of
licensed dietitians in Iowa As you can see, WIC in Iowa is making a si . cant impact.
You are welcome to visit our clinic and see the benefits we are providing to our
young families. Thank you for your support.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Stephen Atkins, City Manager
FROM: R . J., Winkelhake, Chief of Police
RE: Staffing and Crime Data
DATE: March 7, 1994
To establish the proper staffing, levels for a police department there
are a number of factors which impact the desired number for anyone
department. Population, crime rates, location and quality of service
are just a few of the factors which will come to bear on the recommended
staffing level.
One of the better sources for comparable data is the Crime in the United
States report printed by the U. S. Department of Justice every
September or qctober. The Crime in the United States report is a
report which is based upon statistics contributed by state and local law
enforcement from across the United States.
For reporting purposes the County is broken into four regions with
nine division within the four regions. Iowa is the West North Central
Division in the Midwest Region. The West North Central is made up of
the following states: North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas,
Minnesota, Missouri and of course Iowa. The cities within each division
are further broken down into groupings by population. Group I is
cities over 250,000; Group II is cities between 100,000 - 249,999; Group
III cities between 50,000 - 99,999; Group IV cities between 25,000 -
49,000; Group V cities between 10,000 - 24,999 and Group VI less than
10,000.
The overall staffing level for the 858 cities in the West North Central
reporting area is 1.8 officer per 1000 inhabitants in Group III. The
group in which Iowa City falls, the ratio of officers to 1000 inhabitants
is 1.3. The ratio of officers to population in the West North Central Is
lowest for cities of 25,000 - 99,999 and higher In the larger as well as
the smaller cities.
If Iowa City were to reach the 1.8 ratio the City would need to employ
53 additional officers which I do not believe Is reasonable or necessary.

To reach the 1.3 level the City must look to employ 22 additional
officers. I believe the 22 is a great deal more realistic number than
the former.
In 1992 335 cities with a population of 50,000 - 99,999 reported the
officer/inhabitant ratio Iowa City falls in the bottom 6,3%. Two cities
reported a ratio of .5 per 1000 and 19 cities reported a ratio between
.6 and 1.0.

The following is a comparison of the eleven largest cities in Iowa and
the officer/population ratio.

In the West North Central reporting area the comparison of cities
similar to Iowa City by population (55,000 - 67,000) and the
officer/inhabitants ratio and the Crime Index. The Crime Index is the
sum of the reported Violent Crimes (Murder and Non-Negligent
Manslaughter, Forcible Rape, ,Robbery and Aggravated Assault) and
Reported Property crimes (B urglary, Larceny / Theft and Motor Vehicle
Theft) .

The crime rate per 1000 population compares favorably for Iowa City in
this method. Most of the crimes which occur in Iowa City are the type
which most individuals would refer to as nuisance crime rather than the
"real" serious types of crime other cities experience, but the
department has every reason to believe that is changing. However
when viewing the data based upon violent crimes (murder and
non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated
assault) the comparison becomes less favorable as shown in the following
chart.

The numbers in this chart leave a great deal to be desired and are
lacking for any real comparison but do provide some insight.
The significant factor to remember when viewing crime data is generally
the more serious the crime the more time which needs to be devoted to
the incident. As a general rule' of thumb the average time consumed'
for all police incidents is forty-five minutes per incident. If the
department experiences a higher than average number of violent crimes,
a larger amount of time will be devoted to those calls and the less
seriuos or minor calls are given less than the desired attention.
At the present time the officers and the Community Service officers
function in a reactive manner rather than a pro-active approach to
providing police services to the citizens of Iowa City. While the
department has taken a pro-active approach in a number of areas such
as Crime Prevention, the DARE Program, seatbelt enforcement and case
management of Investigations, the basic approach to pah'ol service has
not changed in any significant manner. The reason for this is the need
to provide the citizens with a response to their calls for police
services at the time the citizen demands the service. For the
department to move from a reactive approach to a pro-active manner will
require changes in the methods the department employs.

The department has been helped by the equipment changes and
technological advances of the past few years. The changes allow the
officer to do more in less time although the basic time for calls for
service has not change. The department does not have any reason to
believe the demand will lessen in the future. In fact we fully expect
the demand to increase and the cases to become more technical and
difficult to investigate. .
Community Policing provides a means for the department to become more
responsive to the needs of the community as well as incorporating a
very pro-active approach to solve problems' involving the help of other
city and service agencies as well as the citizens of the neighborhoods.
To do so will take time on the behalf of the officers of the department.
Time is one item the Iowa City Police Department does not have because
of the volume of calls the department services in the course of a year.
All of the preceding indicates the very real need for additional
personnel for patrol as well as the other functions of the department.
The department is doing an adequate job at the reactive function but
not very well at the pro-active approach and in the quality areas due
to the lack of time to devote to the calls for service from our
community.

THE PATROL OFFICER'S ROLE IN CRIME PREVENTION
The evolution of the professional police organization can be traced back to 17th century England,
but it wasn't until after World War U that clime prevention became an integral part of the English
police function. It was not until 1968 that crime prevention started to be accellted as a viable police
function on a national basis. Through the years, the evolution of primary policing functions has
produced the following priorities:
I. Preveution of criminality
2. Suppressiou of crime.
3. Apprehension of offenders.
4. Recovery of property.
5. Regulation of non-criminal conduct.
6. Perfomlance of m'iscellaneous services.

,

It is estimated that over 95% of a patrol officer's time is spent on the lastlwo activities. The
philosophy that "I'm just a felony cop" should not exist. The old adage of " busting heads and
taking names" is now being addressed in how we can "bettel' serve our communities". The reactive
approach of taking repol1s and investigating them later is now seen by police administrators as the
later effort to the proactive approach. Dealing with neighborhood gronps and businesses before the
crimes occur and educating them on being belieI' crime reporters and gelling involved in prevention.
In order to pmctice crime prevention, we must understand what it is. Most larger police agencies
have individnals or units who have received specialized training in crime prevention. SmaDer
departments may ha\'e an individual assigned to crime prevention on a part-time basis. Whatever
the silnation, the 11lItl'OI officer remains the frontline representative of the police dep1ll1ment. The
patrol officer is also the first to respond to most types of incidents. This places the officer in a unique
position to deal with the public. In some cases, an officer will take a report on an incident such as a
burglary, observe the scene, make a few notes, and advise the victim the detectives will be in touch.
This can even go to the point where an officer wiD tell the victim they should expect crime
if they keep their business in the area it's in. This has the effect ofleaving the busiuess owner
victimized twice. Once by the burglar and again by the officer. Being weD aware of his situation or
neighborhood or not being familiar with police procedures, the business owner may get the
impression the police are not very interested.
o
In other instances, a responding officer, after taking the initial report, may spend a few minutes with
the owner pointing out potential weaknesses in physiclll secnrity or operations based on knowledge
and training. The officer can then offer some recommendations or even suggest the owner contact
the crime prevention unit for a comprehensive security surveyor, belieI' yet, olTer to contact the
crime prevention unit personally on the owners behalf. The officer brieny explains the department
procedures for report routing and follow up assignment and tells the owner when he may hear from
someone else in the police department. Dy the time the call has been cleared, the officer has provided
positive information, offered potential solutions, made a personal offer of further assistance and has
given the owner an idell of what is to come. It can almost be guaranteed the business owner will
remember the level of service he received for a long time, all because the officer' spent a few minutes
doing what he or she has been trained for. The entire encounter has combined police work,
community relations, and crime prevention and, in most cases, left the victim with a good impression
of the police department. P.S. THAT MAKES THE CHIEF OR SHERIFF HAPPY!!!

Alternative Plan for the Near Sauthside
Bruno Pigott
Jim TIlI'agmorton
Staff has asked Council to approve an Urban Revitalization Plan for the three
and a half block area south of Burlington, That request places us In the
position of being perceived as either for growth and development or against
it. We want to reframe the Issue, It's not a matter of being for or against
development, but a matter of adopting a plan that's in the best overall
Interest of the people of Iowa City.
What would it make us want to "cross Burlington?" Metaphorically, the
question means "what would persuade us to embrace a plan for the area?"
Literally, it means "what physical development and activity would motivate
us to walk h'om the Pedestlian Mall through the Holiday Inn and across
Burlington?"
.For us to be attracted across Burlinglon,lhe revitalization area wou\dJlave tu
inc.ltlde a memora~~pace for ~,..a..
,p.eo.~y...wmIld..m1jQ.y_gai!Nring. Office buildings with some retail
establishments will not, by themselves, reinvigorate that area, and the
hypothetical trickle-down benefits of an increased property tax base do not
provide sufficient public benefits to justify tax abatements,
Let us describe to you our vision for that area, which If implemented through
tax abatements and other fonns of Investment, would make it easier for
everyone to "cross Burlington." Burlington Street would be improved for
pedestrians, with trees lining the street from Clinton to Burlington where
possible. The area would include public spaces providing direct public
benefits. TIle public space would be, like the existing pedestrian mall, a vital
place where people could gather spontaneously. We imagine that this space
would be created dlreclly south of the Holiday Inn. A new walking mall
(with the same design patterns as the existing pedestrian mall) would be
created, lined by buildings (echoing design patterns of buildings like Brewery
Square and Bushnell's Turtle) on either side of the mall, Included in this
public space would be a large renecting pool which could double as an Ice
skating link In the winter. A place to gather outdoors In the winter. We
Imagine this space to be a "Gateway to the Near Southside" (and, conversely,
a gateway to the downtown). So the southern tip of the new mall (at Court
Street) would be designed as a gateway with public sculpture.
What would encourage us to walk further south? ~-Of..mu: ,

apartments, affordable housing, and at least one designed walking loop to
connect parts of the Near Southside to one another. TIlls loop would include
\
a ~ew stone walking path along the northern edge of Ralston Creek between
Gilbert and Des Moines Streets.
,
". ~
Who would benefit from our proposed revitalization plan? Businesses, the
public, and our environment in the greatest sense of the word, New
commercial buildings between Burlington and Court Streets would benefit
directly from the new mall's urban amenties. Furthetmore, the new mall
would link the existing pedestrian mall to a revitalized Near Southtown
(rather than treating them as two separate and competing areas). Small,
locally-owned businesses and localinstititutions such as S1. Patrick's, the
Sanctuaty, Fitzpatrick's, and the row of small businesses along South
Dubuque (such as the Tofu Hut) would find more people visiting their
establishments because more people would be encouraged to walk through
that side of town. New businesses would seek to locate in this reinvigorated
area. The people of Iowa City would have yet another vibrant area to walk
through: a pleasant, safe, and attractive Southtown, We would reclaim one
of our abandoned natural areas, Ralston Creek The city would have an even
more vibrant core, a core that was coherently linked to the neighborhood to
its south.
,..
./

.
"
How would this alternative revitalization plan be funded? In general, our
view is that Council is supposed to convey a sense of value, purpose, and
direction to the staff, and that staff should be asked to work out the details, So
we would ask them to do the head and leg work required to cany out our
proposed plan and to point out specific constaints that might require us to
alter specific elements of our proposal. Nonetheless, we do think it's
appropriate for us to indicate possible sources of funding. .Qne..possIblliiyJtlo

development and the public need. Anmheqmsslbility. is to act pursuant to
y-.OlChapter...403. Lastly, we would authorize staff
to hire an independent consultant who would prepare an urban design plan
to guide investment in the revitalization area.

RE: Bowery Alley Special Assessment
Some of you may recall the Bowery Alley paving project was not only
a long time in corning, but could have been a public relations night-
mare. I thought Rick and the engineering staff did an excellent job
in public information and relations. I wanted to share with you an
example of their work.

To: Rick Fosse, City Engineer
From: Daniel Scott, Project Engineer
Re: Public Relations Used for 1993 'Paving Assessment Project
During construction of the 1993 Paving Assessment Project, the alley was completely closed for
a week. Because of the large number of residents inconvenienced by the complete closure,
public relations was a major concern that we tried to address in as many ways as possible.
Included below is a list of what was used:
2.
A week before construction, a letter was sent to the residents explaining the project and
efforts they could take to minimize their inconvenience (see attached).
,.:'
3.
During the weekend before construction, door hangers were placed on the residents' door
knobs and car windows to ensure their knowledge of the approaching construction (see
attached) .

CITY OF IOWA CITY
RE: 1993 Paving Assessment Project
Dear Property Owners and Residents:
Weather permitting, repaving of the alley connecting the parking lots to Bowery
Street will begin Monday, October 18, 1993. This project will require closing the
alley to vehicuiar traffic for the week of October 18 through October 23. Residents
relying on access through the alley will need to move their vehicles to side streets
prior to Monday morning.
As part of this project, two free bus passes per day for the six days of
construction will be a vailabie to residents who use this alley for parking access.
, To obtain your twelve free bus passes, present this letter to the main desk of the
Engineering Division located at the Civic Center, 410 E. Washington Street. There
is a bus stop at the corner of Bowery and Dodge Streets. By usIng the bus, you
will be abie to leave your vehicle in the parking lot for the week and avoid the
need to locate an alternate parking spot.
Police, fire and ambulance services have been advised and are prepared to respond
to emergency situations should the need arise. City crews will continue to pick up'
garbage, but we request that you discontinue setting out recyclables until
construction is complete. The Post Office has stated that mail delivery will not be
significantly affected. There should be no utility or water service disruptlons
during the week. '
There is no way to prevent inconveniences during the coming week; it can only be
minimized by thoughtful preparation. I'd like to suggest that you stock up on
heavy items from your grocery store and take care of any other arrangements you
wish to make.
Please recognize the long-term benefits of new and improved street facUities and
bear with us during this difficult construction period.
If you have any questions or if I can help you in some other way, please call me
at 356-5144.
Sincerely,
lJ~ ltt
Daniel Scott

matters with City personnel, Chief Pumphrey attended a meeting of
fire chiefs in Ames, Iowa, and indicated to the Muscatine City
'\

\
, :
Fire Chief that he intended on terminating a probationary fire

fighter. Thus, the record is clear that Chief Pumphrey intended
on terminating Fry's employment immediately following the January

31st meeting and he took appropriate steps to effect his
decision.
~....;.
After Fry was notified he would be going to the Illinois
school, he was told by co-employees that he might be entitled to
overtime pay. He sent a note to the chief inquiring about
overtime and the chief responded that the Illinois school was
based on 40 hour work weeks and no overtime would be paid. Fry
subsequently attempted to arrange a meeting with Iowa City I '
officials relating to the treatment to which he believed he was
unfairly subjected. The appointment was never kept because he
I
~
was terminated before the scheduled meeting. In spite of Fry's
'/
I
claims, the evidence is clear that the decision to terminate Fry
was made Defore any complaint about the chief was made or any
request for information about overtime pay was made.

Fry offered the testimony of several co-workers. It
i
i '
indicated that Fry's performance and evaluations were, by and
large, average. The incident about which it was noted that he
, ,.~
had difficulty relating to women was apparently resolved. His
co-workers generally believed Fry was working out satisfactorily
and should not have been terminated.
Fry's claims are based on several legal theories. Among
them, he asserts he was terminated because he was making inquiry
,~. ': "
about his entitlement to overtime or because he was asserting he
. , ,,~
was being unfairly harassed by the fire chief. To establish a
claim of, discriminatory retaliation (in the form of a fair labor
standards claim, harassment, or tortious discharge), Fry must
prove his attempts to investigate if overtime pay was available
or to make a claim of harassment against a supervisor was a
determining factor in the decision to terminate his employment.

anyone was aware that Fry intended on investigating potential
overtime benefits or before there was any notice Fry was critical

of Chief Pumphrey's actions. Fry's claims that he has been
tortiously discharged or the subject of retaliation are not
supported by the evidence.
Fry also claims he is entitled to benefits and rights under
-~
'\'
the union contract. He was given a copy of the union contract at
the time he was hired. He was also given written notice,
':,
however, that he had no recourse to termination of his employment
through the contract. Fry testified he knew he was on probation
and could be fired for any reason. A contract can be created by
an employer's handbook, policy manual, or other written document
which guarantees an employee that discharge will occur only for
cause or under certain conditions. Fogel v Trustees of Iowa
'/
~ '
College, 446 N.W. 2d 451, 455 (Iowa 1989). In order to create a
unilateral contract, a document must be sufficiently definite in
its terms"to create an offer: it has to be communicated to and
accepted by the employee so as to create an acceptable answer:

and the employee must continue working so as to provide
consideration. McBride v City of Sioux City, 444 N.W. 2d 85, 91
(Iowa 1989). In this case, it was the understanding of both the
employer and the employee that the union contract would not be
the basis of an employment contract until a probationary period
had been completed. 'Fry cannot, in good faith, claim that he
could only be terminated for cause as provided in the union
contract.
Fry further asserts he could not be terminated except for
neglect of duty, disobedience, misconduct, or a failure to
properly perform his duties. These are the reasons for dismissal
under the Iowa Civil Service Law, Section 400.18. Section
400.8(3) of the Civil Service chapter, however, provides that a
fire fighter is on probation for 12 months and that he may be
removed during the probationary period and all that is necessary
is that he "be given a notice in writing stating the reason or
reasons for the dismissal". The court concludes that Section
400.8 doe~ not incorporate, Section 400.18. To do so would make
no sense. It would allow probationers faster access to the

the Court's dicta in McBride v'City of Sioux City, supra, and
Romine v Civil Service Commission of City of Urbandale, 181 N.W.
2d 431 supports such conclusion. To terminate a probationary

That is, the employer may
position as a private employer.
terminate a probationary employee's employment for any reason.
In this case, it was shown that there was a personality
conflict and a poor work attitude. The fire chief reasonably
believed that Fry would not fit in with the Iowa City Fire
Department. There is no basis for the court to reinstate him.
The testimony by Fry's co-employees is understandable. They
believed he was doing his jpb and should not have been
terminated. It is not for City employees, however, to make these
decisions. It is for the chief to make hiring and firing
decisions. The court will only act if the employer's actions
were retaliatory, in violation of public or statutory rights, or
were a breach of a mutual contract. The evidence is insufficient
to sustain Plaintiff's claims.
Judgment is entered for the City of Iowa City and James E.

CONSIDERATION OF THE MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 7. 1994. MEETING:
The minutes were approved as written.
REVIEW DRAFT OF NEIGHBORHOOD OPEN SPACE ORDINANCE:
Bormann stated the Committee needed to be thinking about whether open space impact fees
will be charged for all infilllots or just for multi-family residential development. Bormann 4)
noted a consensus on the percentage of usability had not been reached. She stated the
present draft provides that 50% of the dedicated open space has to be outside waterways
and floodplains and at least 75 % has to be outside of wetlands,
~1S
~~ 10',
Cook pointed out the Comprehensive Plan provides that three acres per 1,000 population
must be usable open space. Bormann stated there is some question as to what "usable" open
space means. Perhaps the Committee needed to define "usable." Bovbjerg said the
Committee should nail the definition down before the ordinance drafted gets to Council,
because discussion will follow regarding what is passive, active, and usable open space,
Bormann asked whether passive open space would be considered usable open space. Liddell
stated one issue is whether the open. space is accessible. Jakobsen noted there should be a
definition for "us~ble" in the ordinance.
Rockwell related an example for the Committee to consider. In Village Green South, the
portion of land above the high water line was considered usable; the portion below that line
was not usable. Bovbjerg stated that land in the stormwater detention basin should not be
counted as open space. Bormann noted the Committee could require open space dedication
and stormwater retention basins to be separate requirements. Rockwell said it was possible
to have the land around a storm water basin dedicated, but only the part above the high water
line should be counted as usable.
Cook felt the definition in the ordinance was fine, but a paragraph needed to be incorporated
addressing the Council's concerns. The Committee does notl intend to ignore property
considered unusable for recreational purposes. That type of property should just not be
counted as part of the required open space to be dedicated. Bormann clarified that the

Committee intended for all of the required open space to be out of the wetlands. Watson
stated that maybe a percentage of the dedicated land had to be outside the floodplain or any
other sensitive areas. Rockwell thought sensitive areas could be included in land dedicated
to the City, but a minimum of three acres per 1,000 population of usable open space outside
the sensitive areas should be part of the dedication.
Bormann asked whether the Committee wished to require 100% of the minimum required
open space to be usable and located outside of any environmentally sensitive areas. Cook
responded yes, that could be done just as Bormann had drafted it in the ordinance, except for
the percentage figures. Liddell asked whether "usable" land is capable of' supporting
construction. Cook said defining "usable" by exception would be the easiest route. Bovbjerg
felt the ordinance might state the land must be usable for this, this and this, and then get into
what lands outside of the required dedication would be acceptable. Rockwell stated the
ordinance could also encourage the usable space to be dedicated in association with sensitive
areas that are not considered usable. Bormann thought the usable section might be written
to state the total required dedicated land must be outside of the type of land listed, but other
areas may also be dedicated.
,.1
!
Bormann stated the Committee still needed to define "usable." Watson wasn't sure if the
Committee should exclude many types of land. Rockwell stated the ordinance could be
worded differently so that it encouraged sensitive types of land to be dedicated along with
the minimum required acres of usable land. Watson suggested listing some exceptions while
retaining some flexibility. Trueblood thought the exceptions should include land the City
deemed inappropriate for open space. Cook said he would like the ordinance worded stronger
to state that dedication of other land not deemed usable is encouraged. Bormann thought that
would be legally defensible as long as the ordinance wasn't worded any stronger than t~at.
Bormann reminded the Committee that the criteria are not definitions; they are selection
criteria the Council will use to determine if the land the developer is offering is what the
Council will accept. Bovbjerg thought the definition of usability should be worded so that it
states what it is, not just what it isn't. Watson said maybe it could state the land must be
suitable for neighborhood open space purposes. Jakobsen suggested adding to that, "such
as, but not limited to...."
I
"
I,
I
Bormann pointed out Section 3 on page 3 in the ordinance is the only place the word "active"
is used. Rockwell thought the term "active" could be defined from the statements made in
the Comprehensive Plan. Bovbjerg suggested getting rid of the first phrase of the paragraph;
to start with the recreational facilities phrase, Bormann stated it would read, "If a portion of
the dedicated land is deemed suitable for recreational facilities and activities, such as... then
the shape of that portion shall be a sufficient amount...." Jakobsen stated the phrase "any
or all" should be excluded from the text of the ordinance.
Bormann stated the next criterion on page 3 was item 4, location. She said the reference to
the Master Plan was made because a Master Plan would be needed. Watson questioned
whether to comply with the City's Parks and Greenways Master Plan meant if a developer has
a proposal for a park that doesn't follow the plan, then the land 1would not be considered
suitable. Rockwell stated the plan would serve as a guide. Watson suggested the word
"consistent" would be better than "comply." Bormann explained this section of the ordinance

dealt with criteria for accepting land dedications. Rockwell noted there are site selection
criteria listed in the Comprehensive Plan. Rockwell fe,lt there should be dovetailing between
the two documents.
Bormann stated the next selection criterion was item 5, access. Staff recommended a 50- .
foot public access width along a street frontage. If the access were narrower, the park would
be viewed as more of a private area. She thought this section should apply to a park, but not
to a trail. Watson asked whether other communities use a 50-foot minimum access width.
Trueblood stated in Cary, North Carolina, it was 60 feet. He said a narrow entry gives the
public the perception the park is a private area. He cited Court Hill park as an example.
Trueblood stated having more public access along a street frontage not only tells people it is
a public park, it reminds the owners of the land adjacent to the access that the land is public.
Cook questioned how a person distinguished between a trail and a 50-foot wide easement.
He thought the ordinance should be made more clear. Cook stated the ordinance could be
worded to ensure a suitable access easement that was no less than a typical trail width. He
felt that would give more flexibility. Liddell questioned whether it was the developer's
responsibility to make an area accessible. Bormann stated the only possible requirement of
the developer would be to grade the dedicated land. She added it would be to the developer's
benefit to provide access to a park. Watson thought a 50-foot easement was not too much
to require. Bormann said maybe the answer would be to make some distinction; if the land
is a single parcel, then the easement requirement would be 50 feet, but if it is determined to
be part of a greenway system, then it could be smaller. A trail would not need a 50-foot wide
access along a street frontage. The Committee agreed.
Bormann stated the topography section would need to be changed based on the Committee's
discussion. She indicated the words "portion of" would have to be taken out. Watson said
this section could be worded to state the average slope of the dedicated land shall not exceed
the average slope of the entire subdivision. Jakobsen stated the ordinance could be worded
that the maximum slope of the dedicated land shall not be greater than the maximum slope
of the development, and in no case shall it exceed a 15 % slope. Liddell questioned where in
the process it would be determined how the land was going to be used. That would relate
to what the, desired topography would be. Watson stated the language regarding "dedicated
land" bothered him. He thought in addition to the required land, the Committee welcomed
ravines and other types of land. Bormann stated that the reason the criteria is tied to the
entire subdivision is to preclude a developer from dedicating only the portion of the subdivision
that is in steep slopes.
Bormann reminded the Committee that all the criteria may not need to be looked at in
determining what the dedicated land should be. She stated in some instances, topography
would be important, but in others the shape would be important. Bovbjerg said the
introduction stated that all dedications must meet the following criteria. She said perhaps,
it should be revised to rend, "these factors may be considered." Watson thought the
ordinance should state the land must meet all the criteria.
I
Cook stated in the instance of topography, maybe it would be easier just to require dedicated
open space to be consistent with the Parks and Neighborhood Open Space Plan. Watson felt

in all cases, the land should be consistent with the Neighborhood Open Space Plan; that
should serve as a preamble. Bormann stated the Council adopted the plan, which serves as
a general guide. She stated the ordinance has to be more specific. Watson asked whether
the ordinance can make some reference about being consistent with the plan. Bovbjerg
suggested adding a reference to the plan in the purpose section of the ordinance. Liddell
added it should also make reference to the Parks and Greenways Plan. Rockwell asked
whether the Committee thought the Parks and Greenways Map should be incorporated into
the Neighborhood Open Space Plan; to be made part of the Comprehensive Plan.
,
Rockwell presented a sketch map that reflected comments in the Comprehensive Plan on
proposed neighborhood open space for each district. She stated the proposed open space
areas should be evaluated by using aerial photos, checking the Sensitive Areas Map. Phase
I, and conducting field verification. She added the map should also be consistent with plans
other groups, such as the Regional Trails and Bicycling Committee, the Trails and Access
Committee of the Riverfront and Natural Areas Commission and FIRST, are designing and
implementing. She asked the Committee to consider forming a subcommittee to develop a
neighborhood open space map.

f~~
Personal income in Iowa
generally drops during the
second and third quarters
of each year as seasonal
patterns of fann outlays
impact the state totals. In
the third quarter of 1993,
fann income not only
dropped, it went negative
for the first time since the
third quarter of 1993.
As a result Iowa personal
income growth for the
quarter was at the bottom
of the list of states and we
placed 49th in third
quarter year-over-year
growth. Iowa's non.fann
income growth for the
year of 4,6% was one
percentage point below
the national average,
showing the impact of the
flood losses on businesses
as well.
The yearly 11.2% income
growth in the construction
indusny reflected the
residential building boom
that appears to have
transcended the effects of
the flood. Yearly income
o
grew 7.3% in the
services sector, 5.2% in
the fmancial sector and
4.6% in durable good

Search Process
A recent article in the
Economic Developer,
Jan. 1994, cited the
selection process used by
Fluor Daniel in selecting
the United States
manufacturing site for the
Mercedes-Benz plant.
The search began in
January 1993: world-
wide selection of sites
begins,
April: Mercedes decides
to build in the United
States and hires Fluor
Daniel as their search
consultant.
May: The region of the
plant's location is defined.
Major parts suppliers are
identified and costs and
transportation are studied.
About 180 communities
submitted proposals and
about 50% were
eliminated because they
did not meet the
company's requirements.

qualify the sites. Six
states are selected -
Alabama, North Carolina,
Georgia, Tennessee, Iowa
and Nebraska,
July: The team visits the
six fmal sites in a two
week visit.
August: Tuscaloosa and
Charleston, SC are
selected as the two fmal-
ists.
Sept: North Carolina is
back in the race and
Mebane, NC is added to
the list of fmalists. Later
this month Alabama is the
site chosen for the plant.
Although the North
Carolina site scored
highest on the site factors,
. Alabama had the highest
marks on the state's
educational environment,
business climate and
training programs.
This short outline shows
how many different
factors enter into the site
selection process It also
illustrates how o'ne site
can look favorable but
then not be chosen for
other external reasons.

Iowa Festival:
Where creativity takes root
Welcome to a guided tour of
the 1993 Iowa Festival. A
project of the Iowa City Area
Chamber of Commerce, the
Iowa Festival is a non-profit
umbrella organization that
produces and promotes a
summer celebration of arts. It
is the mission of the Iowa
Festival to bring together am-
ateur as well as professional
artists in an atmosphere of fun
and creativity so all may rec-
ognize the significance of art to
the human experience.
Creating an arts festival in
. the Iowa City/Coralville
community seems an almost
natural process as the area is
. rich in artistic resources, but
prodtici,ng ,the annual event
takes an enormous amount of
, volunteer energy. Each year,
hundreds of volunteers bring
their time and talents together
to make the Iowa Festival a
successful celebration.
There arc many ways to be
involved with the Iowa Festi-
val. From the area business
that becomes an event sponsor
to the individual who vol-
unteers an afternoon in the
June sunshine to paint chil-
dren's faces, all levels of in-
volvement are equally im-
portant.
For more information about
the Iowa Festival, contact
Michelle Coleman or Laura
Harris, Iowa City Area
Chamber of Commerce, 325
E. Washington St., Iowa City,
.52240, or call 337-9637 , .

Names have
changed, fun
stays the same
Through the years, the
Iowa Festival and Ai'tsFest
have developed a commit-
ment to providing quality
entertainment and an op-
portunity for local artist to
perform. But this year, one
thing has changed.
At the conclusion of the
'1992 festival, organizers.
decided to disband the
ArtsFest and consolidate ac-
tivities with the Iowa Festi-
val. Ev'ents that were pre-
viously coordinated and
produced by ArtsFest vol-
unteers are now coordinated
by Iowa Festival staff and
volunteers.
In previous years, the two
titles were often used inter-
changeably, creating confu-
sion among some festival
participants.
.THE KITCHEN
is Moving to
215 E. Washington!
We plan to be open by mid-July.
The Kitchen will expand its seating
from 45 to 105. We would like to
thank our patrons for keeping us
going strong. '

Bruno,
Here is some extra information --just FYI.
--The Iowa Arts Festival's annual budget is approximately $60,000
_. The Iowa Arts Festival will receive $500 from the CVB this year
,,'
--The amount we requested last year was 2.5% ofthe hoteVmotel tax earnings
This figure was based on the amounts other Eastern Iowa cities give their festivals
(Cedar Rapids gives $10,000 to Freedom Fest and Dubuque gives I think 2% or 2.5% of
its hoteVmote1 tax earnings to its Land of Festivals Organization)

November 18, 1992
Mayor Darrel G, Courtney and the City Council
410 E. Washington Street
Iowa City, IA 52240
Dear Mr. Mayor and Council:
We are writing to request that the City of Iowa City allocate a portion of the recently
increased hotel/motel tax funds to the Iowa Festival. Having delighted and enriched
increasingly large audiences since 1989, the Iowa Festival is beginning to gain recognition
as an important Midwest arts event. With continued growth we believe the Iowa Festival has
the potential to attract a large number of tourists to the area, further building hotel
business and contributing to economic development by reinforcing the Iowa City's reputation
as major cultural center. The city's contribution to the Iowa Festival now would be an
investment in its own future.
Created in 1988 by the Arts Committee of the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce, the
Iowa Festival is a two week celebration of Iowa City's cultural vitality featuring a broad
array of performances, exhibitions and events produced by local arts groups. The Iowa
Festival coordinates these activities, produces a number of events to highlight and unify the
series and has recently taken over the responsibility of funding and organizing two other
local festivals, the downtown ArtsFest and the Public Library's Storytelling Festival. Iowa
Festival activities are promoted throughout the region with advertisements, brochures and
regular press releases in a growing marketing campaign geared to attract out-of.town
visitors and and draw national attention to Iowa City's cultural resources.
Though only its fifth year, the Iowa Festival has been remarkably successful. It is estimated
that 50,000 people attended in 1992, 10,000 more than in 1991, and 99% of those
surveyed said that they plan to attend again in 1993. Tourist inquiries are rapidly
increasing; in 1992 the Iowa Department of Economic Development's Division of Tourism
received 5000 requests for information about the Iowa Festival in response to an ad placed
in their brochure. This constitutes a 62% increase over the number of requests received in
1991. The Division of Tourism estimates that 65% of the people who request information
make at least one trip to the area.
The Iowa Festival is gaining more and more recognition for its efforts, Press coverage has
been exceptional; the 1992 Iowa Festival was featured in newspapers, radio stations and
television stations statewide and a number of reporters have already expressed interest in
doing special features on 1993 festival activities. People in the tourism Industry have also
begun to take notice of the festival. The Iowa Festival has been nominated for the American
Bus Association's '1993 Top 100 Events in North America list and has been named the
winner of the Iowa Travel Council's 1992 Tourism and the Arts Award, a new award created
to recognize excellence in marketing and promotion, service and support to the tourism
industry and overall benefit to the community.

The Iowa Festival will continue to coordinate and produce quality events in 1993 and hopes
to greatly expand its marketing efforts..if we can raise the necessary funds. Funding from
the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce has been assured through 1993, but funding
beyond that date is uncertain. We have profited from the advice and support of the Iowa
City/Coralville Convention & Visitors Bureau and expect to continue our close relations with
them. For the past three years the CVB has awarded the festival a small grant ($1,000 in
1991, $500 in 1992 and $550 for 1993) and has helped pay for some print advertising
but this support is not likely to increase. While we are continuing to build partnerships
with the business community and appeal to local residents for funds, we must seek support
from every possible source.
We are asking the City of Iowa City to Invest 2.5% of its annual hotel/motel tax earnings in
the Iowa Festival. This amount Is comparable to the amounts of hotel/motel tax money the
City of Cedar Rapids gives to its Freedom Fest and the City of Dubuque gives its Land of
Festivals organization. The Iowa Festival has already demonstrated a strong tourist appeal.
With stable funding it can further build its reputation and has the potential to contribute
substantially to Iowa City's future tourism earnings.
W. Richard Summerwill, President and CEO of the Iowa State Bank and Trust Company, told
us: "The Iowa Festival is a wonderful community event which has tremendous potential for
furthering economic development in this area. We're proud to support it." We hope you
will agree.
Sincerely,
, ' -:'.

I have submitted to the City Council my Fiscal Year 1994 budget recommendations. I have also
distributed a copy of your letter requesting the appropriation of hotel/motel tax revenues to the
Iowa Festival. The City Council recently reaffirmed an existing policy which distributes hotel/motel
tax funds to various City agencies as well as the Convention and Visitors' Bureau.

I understand the Convention and Visitors' Bureau also has a program whereby they will distribute
funding for worthwhile community projects and agencies. As I am sure you are aware, the
Bureau will receive, under the Council's current policy, a substantial increase in funding from not
only the City of Iowa City, but also the City of Coralville. If you have not fully pursued that option,
you may also wish to consider that as an alternative.
The Council budget work sessions begin January 12 and 14, with the public hearing scheduled
for February 23. You may wish to inform your Board In order to present further information to the
City Ccuncil and/or appear at the public hearing to express your interests.

The Iowa Festival has just been named one of the American Bus

This award suggests that more and more people in the tourism industry

Iowa City we believe we can further build the Iowa Festival's
reputation, drawing more and more tourists to the Iowa City area.
Please be sure to mention the Iowa Festival's new award when
presenting our proposal to the Iowa City Council. We really appreciate
your help.

Iowa City, IA 52240
Dear Steve:
I am writing again with regard to the iowa Festival's request for a portion of Iowa City's
recently increased hotel/motel tax funds. I want to explain why the Iowa Festival is
approaching the City of Iowa City instead of the Iowa City/Coralville Convention and Visitors
Bureau.
As I mentioned in my letter to Mayor Courtney and the City Council, the Iowa Festival has
received several small grants from the CVB ($1000 in 1991, $500 in 1992, $550 in
1993). The CVB currently provides $5000 annually in grants to an average of 10
organizations. The largest awards are generally $1000; the largest award ever was $1500.
We are aware that the Iowa City Council has recently reaffirmed an existing polley which
distributes hotel/motel tax funds to various City agencies as well as the CVB. We have
approached the CVB to find out if, given the anticipated increase in the CVB's budget, it would
make more money available for tourist attractions like the Iowa Festival. The CVB has
informed us, however, that it will not be expanding its grant program.
The Iowa Festival is grateful for the funding it has received from the CV8's grant program.
If the festival is to continue to grow, however, more money is needed. The Iowa Festival has
the potential to become a major tourist attraction contributing substantially to Iowa City's
future tourism earnings; with city support we think we can make this happen.
Sincerely,
Laura Harris
Iowa Festival Development Coordinator

Dear Mayor Horowitz and Council Members:
The Board of Directors of the Iowa Arts Festival requests that the
City of Iowa City allocate a portion of local motel/hotel tax funds
to the 1994 festival that will take place June 10-19. The
directors believe support of the Iowa Arts Festival through the
hotel/motel tax is an appropriate use of these funds. It would be
a strong investment in the quality of life of Iowa Citians and will
help strengthen the Festival's ability to attract more visitors to
our community each summer.
This is a milestone year for the five-year-old Iowa Arts Festival.
After functioning under the umbrella of the Iowa City Area Chamber
of Commerce since its inception--including an annual subsidy from
the Chamber--The Iowa Arts Festival is now an independent non-
profit organization. The festival planners and staff have
streamlined this year's festival by concentrating events into a 10-
day period with more of a downtown Iowa City focu's. We believe the
downtown focus of the Iowa Arts Festival sponsored events will
create a more visible celebration of local and regional musicians,
artists, dancer, artisans, writers--indeed, the entire spectrum of
Iowa City'S rich cultural resources. In addition the Iowa Arts
Festival will continue to act as a promotional umbrella for all of
the areas arts organizations.
The Council's recent approval of the Festival's'request to use the
parking lot next to the Holiday Inn as the "main stage" venue for
the opening weekend events has solidified our effort to "find a
focus" for the Iowa Arts Festival. The parking lot provides ample
space for larger audiences for the opening events and we are deeply
grateful to the City Council for approving this request.
We also are confident that Iowa Arts Festival promotions this year
will reach thousands more Iowans than ever before. Our brochure
will be distributed throughout the midwest as a part of a co-op
advertisement with the Iowa City/Coralville Conventions and
Visitors Bureau. Our Schedule of Events will be distributed to
over 150,000 households in Eastern Iowa. KCRG-TV will produce a
live broadcast from the festival site on Friday, June 10 that will
spotlight the Kick-Off event. In addition, Channel 9 will begin

promoting the overall festival in mid-May and will broadcast daily
feature on festival events throughout its lO-day run.
These promotional efforts, combined with the Festival's catchy "Hot
'N' Spicy II theme, should attract many more visitors from Eastern
Iowa communities this year.
The Iowa Arts Festival is truly a joint community effort involving
and uniting local artists, arts organizations and supporters of the
arts in a variety of ways. We continue to work closely with the
area business community, the University of Iowa and various units
of city institutions, including Parks and Recreation and the Iowa
City Public Library, to name just two. We are exploring ways that
the Iowa Arts Festival, the iowa City Jazz Festival and the
Downtown Friday Night Concert Series can work closer together in
planning annual summer events.

As a result, we believe that the Iowa Arts Festival will have an
even greater impact on the iowa City area and enhance this
community's national reputation for being a major cultural center.

Funding is crucial this year. The majority of the festival budget
will continue to come from private sources including individual
contributions, business sponsorship and corporate grants. Each
year we have received modest grants from the Iowa City/Coralville
Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Iowa Department of Cultural
Affairs and the Iowa Arts Council.

Over the last five years the festival board has working diligently
to secure the festivals future. An allocation from the City's
hotel/motel tax would protect the sizable investment the community
has made in the Iowa Arts Festival.

The Council's approval of this request will tell Iowa Citians and
potential festival visitors from around the state that the Iowa
Arts Festival is an important community event and that the arts are
a fundamental element of our thriving community.
Thank you, Madame Mayor and Council Members, for considering this
request.
