CITY OF IOWA CITY
Dear Mr. Daly:
Thank you for your February 25 note in which you express your interest regarding the Iowa City
Municipal Airport and its future.
In order for me to respond to your comments about the cost of improvements to the airport, I believe
it important for you to note that the Iowa City Airport, as other airports throughout the United States,
is regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA decides the general, operational
procedures for the airport, the type of capital facilities that must be constructed to satisfy their
regulations and any limits on the type of aircraft choosing to use the airport. A significant part of
the debate as well as a variety of opinions from the community, is whether or not to move the airport
to a new location, at a cost of $15,6 million. This cost estimate would provide for the construction
of a new airport and the FAA would pay 90% of the cost. The primary source of funds to the FAA
is from the Aircraft Fuel Tax. A new airport would be designed to be in full compliance with FAA
regulations.
Another option is to remain at the existing site and fulfill FAA requirements at a cost of approxi-
mately $10.1 million. As we now understand, the FAA would participate with 90% funding.
The Airport Commission represeniing the City's interests in this matter has had extensive
discussions with the FAA representatives. To remain at the current site would involve purchase of
properties in and around the airport as well as reconstruction of many airport facilities. I am sure
you are aware that some of the Iowa City Airport facilities predate World War II when the airport
served as a military training facility, and therefore, the need to repair airport facilities is critical for
future safety. There seems to be a notion that we can "do nothing." That is not an option if we are
to assure the safety and fully comply with FAA regulations. Even if we were to close and sell the
airport, we must repay FAA for previous financial contributions, the extent of which are substantial.
The City Council, at this time, has indicated that the Airport Commission should proceed with a plan
for remaining at its current location. The City's share of the costs will be approximately 10%
according to current FAA regulations, financed over a number of years,
As I am sure you can appreciate, there are a variety of opinions on this issue and the City Council
is working to incorporate not only the many opinions, but also we must fulfill our legal responsibilities
to provide for a safe airport within the resources available to us.
Thank you for your opinion.

In response to Jim's comment about a water main easement along what might some day be the
First Avenue right-of-way, it is our judgment that the water line does not commit the City to the
construction of the road. The First Avenue Extension is a low priority in the capital plan and the
water line easement is not a roadway easement. If you have any additional questions, please
feel free to contact Chuck or me.

TELEVISING ALL OR SOME INFORMAL COUNCIL MEETINGS. Atkins stated that staff is
preparing a memorandum regarding this issue. Helling noted that it would be funded out of Cable
franchise fees. Helling stated that Council will receive additional information.
TIMING ISSUES IN THE CIP (KUBBY'S MEMO). Atkins answered the five questions as follows:
1) regarding including the Ralston Creek bridge at Burlington as part of the FY94 Burlington-
Gilbert intersection project (CIP item pg. 4) - yes; 2) regarding moving the pedestrian overpass
up on the schedule (CIP item pg. 6, #9, year 2001) - up to Council; 3) regarding the timing of the
peninsula sewer and lift station at the end of the water plant project (CIP item pg. 6, #9,
Wastewater) - yes; 4) regarding adding $30,000 for intra-city bike trails in FY95 (CIP item pg. 8,
#5) - up to Council; 5) regarding fire stations' absence in CIP - shown in year 2001.
Throgmorton distributed his February 8,1994, memorandum regarding budget. Council and staff
responded to issues raised in the memo as follows:
WATER EFFICIENCY AND WATERSHED MANAGEMENT. Throgmorton proposed that Council
dedicate a significant amount of funding to water conservation and to watershed management.
Throgmorton suggested that the City set aside approximately $2 million for conservation and $1
for watershed management and to budget sufficient funds to purchase an older single-family
home to transform into a model of water and energy efficiency to rent to a lower income family.
Kubby proposed setting aside money and giving it to soil conservation service to do soil erosion
control along the Iowa River and to build buffer strips in between any land use and the river.
Atkins stated staff is preparing a memo which discusses some of the current activities by the soil
conservation service (SCS). More discussion will be scheduled after the memo is distributed.
PUBLIC PROTECTION OF LAND NEAR HICKORY HILL PARK. Throgmorton proposed revising
the City's Comp Plan to delete First Avenue as an extended road and to develop area northeast
of the park for passive recreation uses and using funds to create a community land trust and
conservation easements. Novick stated the upgrade of the Comprehensive Plan would consider
these issues. City Manager Atkins cautioned that if Council is going to make substantive changes
to the CIP staff needs to know because they are planning public participation including
neighborhood meetings.
WATER PLAN - DISTRIBUTION. Throgmorton raised strong reservations about the plans to
build a water line straight down the route of First Avenue, and whether this commits the City to
building a road along that line. Staff will report.
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. Throgmorton suggested the City find
ways to invest in non-structural approaches to managing demand for roadway capacity by using
the Transportation System Management (TSM) measures. Throgmorton proposed revising the
budget to include $50,000 from the parking reserve fund for promotion of TSM measures to
include a general travel allowance policy for major employers. Council Members discussed TSM
measures and transportation. Novick stated that she will obtain information about a Colorado city
for Council information. In response to a majority of Council Members, Atkins stated that he will
try to frame the TSM issues for Council consideration.

Re: Dubuque Street Project ~ Economic Development Administration Funding
I received a telephone call from Senator Harkin's office indicating that the EDA had given
preliminary approval to the Dubuque Street project. You will recall we submitted a pre-
application grant request for a project to raise Dubuque Street at a cost of $2.4 million. The
proposed grant was for $1.8 million, with the City being required to provide a $600,000 match.
0),',.
" ,
J
,'-
\ '
\
As I understand tentative approval, if we are to file a formal application for the project it would
receive the highest of priority and thereby have a significant likelihood for funding. The problem
with the funding proposal is that the 'EDA has amended our local share by reducing their
participation. Instead of the 75/25 grant of $'1.8 million/$600,000, they are proposing a 50/50
.
grant (City proposal of $1.2 million/$1.2 million).

The review process and application will take some time, but before proceeding I intend to place
this matter on your March 28 work session for your consideration and direction.

Re: Ammonia Nitrogen Limits - Wastewater Treatment
Shortly after completion of construction of' our wastewater facilities in 1990, the EPA
established more stringent effluent regulations, i.e. ammonia nitrogen removal.
At that time the City relied on a provision of the State Code which states that" A publicly
owned treatment works...shall not be required to meet more stringent effluent limitations for
a period of ten years from the date the construction was completed...". We assumed we
would have until year 2000 to meet the new standards.
The Federal EPA claims this State law is a violation of Federal law and thereby we cannot rely
on the year 2000 date.
City staff, EPA, and IDNR have been negotiating for some time a compromise of the ten-year
moratorium provision of the State Code. We even asked for a hearing before EPA officials.
The hearing was put off indefinitely by EPA by way of some regulation, which I will not try
to explain. We have reached a compromise position and assume EPA will also agree to the
mid-1998 completion date.
We have a general schedule of work or plan of action which will be reviewed by the IDNR and
EPA. We will move ahead with the new target date of 1998. I do not believe there is much
more than can be done and we were somewhat surprised that the IDNR/EPA even allowed the
1998 schedule.

Re: Councillnformation/Follow-Up Requests
At you regular Council meetings, Council members make various requests for information
andlor follow-up. What I plan to do is prepare a summary of those requests from my notes.
Generally speaking, they are miscellaneous items of interest. This summary is to serve as a
tracking system, both for your benefit and mine. Attached is the first of such reports. Let
me know what you think, and at some time in the future, how you think it is working.

Employer Health Coverage Reporting'
, ,
From:
"'j:
The federal government is at it again. The 1993 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act requires
employers to furnish to the newly-established MedicarelMedicaid coverage databank information
concerning each participant and beneficiary of a group health plan. Under the new law employers
maintaining a group health plan are required to compile health coverage information on groups
of individuals that have never been tracked before, such as the dependents of employees and
retirees, and depe~dents of retirees and former employees who are recei,ving coverage under
COBRA.
;
I
,
,
i
,
The new law is intended to assist the Health Care Financing Agency and the states to identify
individuals who are receiving Medicare or Medicaid benefits that should have been paid by
employers.
,
"
"
.S
r
\
"
There are many interest groups urging Congress to repeal this reporting requirement in that it is '
unlikely, as these interest groups argue, that the federal government will be able to use the data
furnished by employers. Congress failed to appropriate any money for the administration of the
databank. There will be no staff to handle an estimated 250 million records submitted annually
by 5 million employers. Regardless, we, as an employer providing group health coverage, will
need to evaluate what type of system we put in place to provide this information to the federal
government.

Re: Survey of Major Employers. Provision of Parking for Employees
~<
The JCCOG Transportation Planning Division has, at my request, conducted a survey of major Iowa
City employers to determine how they provide employee parking. As you can see from the attached
table, there are very few incentives provided by local employers for their employees not to drive to
work. The provision of free parking for employees is common, except in the Central Business District.
, I ~
We were unable to contact the University's Director of Parking and Transportation. We are aware,
however, that the University has several incentives for employees not to drive to 'work, including the
van pool system, CAMBUS service, and convenient pedestrian facilities. The University has recently
received publicity for bicycle enhancements they are attempting to implement on pampus.

Re: South Site Soccer Field Development
This memorandum will provide you with a brief update on the issues associated with the proposed
development of soccer fields adjacent to the south Wastewater treatment plant.
We have received a request from the Iowa City Kickers and the Iowa City Soccer Association to
appear before the Council, tentatively set for April 12, to present to you the first installment,
approximately $65,000, of their $100,000 commitment to the construction of soccer fields. At this time
the issue will likely become far more high profile and, we will begin receiving far more questions. '
As you are aware, we do have a conditional zoning agreement with the County. In the agreement it
specifically identifies Issues associated with the development of a park site. We are obligated to
establish a primary access route from the north "concurrently with any initial development of the park
site." T.hls would require a street project through the Langenberg property off of the Sycamore L.
We have several issues that will need attention and they include: 1) satisfaction of the County zoning
agreement, 2) contacts with the Langenbergs, and 3) development of plans and specs for the
proposed project.
We are also working to consider annexation of the treatment plant site in that we have Initiated the
Sycamore Farms annexation. Linda will review the legal obligations of the existing conditional zoning
agreement if, in fact, the treatment plan site becomes part of the Iowa City corporate limits.
I sent a short note to Steve Lacina to let him know that this Issue was beginning to unfold. We will
have more for you shortly but given the "number of players In the game," we will likely begin receiving
questions from numerous Individuals.

Re: Review of Arbitrage Requirements
In accordance with the.tederallRS regulations and laws as amended in 1986, we are required,
to track any interest proceeds we receive from a bond sale. When we sell debt for capital
projects, we often invest the bond proceeds for a period of time to not only minimize our costs
for borrowing, but also simply put the funds to productive use as we payout on a particular
capital project. Federal law requires us to track the interest earned and that interest may not
exceed the value of the interest paid on a particular bond.
We have recently completed an analysis of our arbitrage with respect to previous bond sales and
can report to you we are in compliance with the federal regulations. It requires a close and ,
detailed monitoring on the part of our finance staff. We perform these periodic arbitrage reviews
in order to fulfill our regulatory responsibilities and also provides us information as to our
investment practices.

Dear Howard:
At their regular Council meeting of March 8, the City Council discussed the issues associated
with parking in and around City High School. It was mentioned that the student body had
expressed interest in forming some sort of discussion format between students, faculty and
the neighbors. I was unable to advise the Council as to the status of that effort and was
asked to direct a follow-up to your attention. There appears to be genuine interest in seeing
discussions occur between the interested parties in order to build better relations.
If these meetings are to be scheduled or there is any other pertinent information, I would
appreciate hearing from you andlor any representative from the student government. Thanks
for your help.
Sincerely,
~

PUBLIC NOTICE
Turbidity of Iowa City DrinkinR Water Exceeds Limit
The united States Environmental Protection ARenCy (EPA) sets
drinkinR water standards and has determined that the turbidity of
water is a hea 1 th concern at certain 1 eve 1 s of exposure. The
turbidity, a measure of the clarity of drinkinR water, is
determi ned by mi nute part i c 1 es suspended in the water that can
interfere with disinfection and with testinR for bacteria. It can
also prevent maintaininR an effective disinfectant level throuRhout,
the distribution system.
The EPA has set the enforceable drinkinR water standard for
turbidity for systems that use a filtration process such as Iowa
City's to be less than or equal to 0.5 nephelometric turbidity
units (NTU) in at least 95 percent of the measurements taken each
month. The Iowa City drinkinR water supply exceeded 0.5 NTU from
4:00 pm Monday 3/8/94 till noon Thursday 3/10/94. The hiRhest
readinR occurred on Wednesday at 4:00 pm which was 3.9 NTU's.
EXTRA SAMPLE TESTING TO ENSURE SAFETY
Extra bacterial testinR has been done by the University of Iowa
HYRienic Laboratory at Oakdale Campus. The results have been safe.
Extra testinR will continue to verify the result.
CURRENT SITUATION
Currently the Iowa City drinkinR water is measurinR below the 0.5
NTU, with an averaRe of 0.3 NTU's.
CAUSES AND ADJUSTMENTS
The turbidity experienced durinR this period was related to hiRher
levels of turbidity in the Iowa River which is the City's primary
source of drinkinR water. River turbidity levels have fluctuated
from 102 to 210 NTU's. This is due to recent runoff from Clear
Creek and other streams, and release from the Coralville Dam of
water that carries hiRher concentrations of sediment, color. and
orRanic materials.
Other adjustments made at the Iowa City Water plant include:
1.
ChanRes in operation of the treatment plant to minimize the
turbidity in the drinkinR water.
2.
An increase in the chlorine used to disinfect the drinkinR
water of about 0.5 parts per million to preclude problems with
bacterial contaminants.

A
MEMORANDUM
Iowa City Fire Department
Date: March 16, 1994
To:
City Council Members ,
Jim Pumfrey, Fire Chief~';
,/
Annual Report /
/'
From:
Re:
"
:
Calendar year 1993 reflects a 16 % increase in total responses by the Fire Department, for a
total of 2,723 responses. This is the highest activity level on record for our department. The
majority of this increase is due to additional emergency medical service responses.
At this time, we do not have any conclusive reasons for the 378 response increase in
emergency medical responses. However, I am confident a portion of these calls could be
attributed to normal factors associated with an increase of this nature, i.e. a growing
community, a growing community with an increasing population of younger and older citizens,
who tend to need more medical care from the effects of accidents and aging. In addition, a
portion of the increase is due to Andy Rocca working with our emergency communications
center to ensure our department is notified for response on all emergency medical requests
regardless of the complaint. We are also responding to automobile accidents where the injury
status of the occupants is unknown. It is our belief that the citizens of this community are
better served using a proactive approach to these situations and provides a higher level of
emergency medical service to the community.
Our actual fire responses (alarms - false and real- smoke scares, electrical arcing, and others)
appear to be stabilizing in the area of 1000 runs per year. These responses tend to reflect our
community's level of fire safety consciousness. Continued decline would reflect a community
which is aware and concerned for its fire safety. It is also indicative that this department's
public education efforts are meeting with a degree of success. The number of actual fires
seems to reflect a degree of stabilization for the past few years. It is important one
understands the definition of fire utilized in this category. For reporting purposes, a fire is
considered as any instance of "uncontrolled burning." For example, if you experienced a
grease fire while cooking chicken on your stove and notified the Fire Department, we would
record this response as an "actual fire" regardless whether the fire had any consequences
beyond the chicken or not. Realizing this, it is meaningful to note of the 1 04 fires occurring
in structures during 1993, only 40 were reported to have required an extinguishment action
by members of this department. The remaining 64 structure fires were out on arrival due to
actions taken by residents or other factors.

We have included the estimated fire loss information in this report. However, I am not sure
it can truly predict any trends. In 1991 you will note an estimate loss of over $4 million with
the majority of this loss attributed to the fire which destroyed the Walden Ridge development.
A fire in a museum, telephone switching office or other similar facility could result in an
enormous dollar loss, which mayor may not be reflective of anything, except to the owners
of the facility. For example, in January of this year we experienced a fire in a fraternity house
with an estimated loss which exceeds the total loss for 1993.
This community is growing. Until recently this growth was substantially infill of property
within the existing city boundaries. However, we have recently annexed one large
development and others are on the horizon. The addition of these areas to our city can and
will have the effect of lengthening our average response time to calls. This statistic is
extremely vital in determining the level of assistance this department may be able to provide
in an emergency situation. According to the American Heart Association, irrevocable brain
death begins in 4.6 minutes from the time of cardiac arrest. Our average response of 4.4
minutes falls within the time frame where our efforts to resuscitate a patient are not likely to
meet with success. From the fire perspective, a free burning fire will increase in size until it
has no more fuel to consume. Depending on whose book you read, flashover can occur in a
structure within 4-7 minutes from the time a fire enters its free burning stage. Flashover is
a serious fire condition when virtually all combustible items within a room reach their ignition
temperature at one time, instantaneously igniting the entire room. Again, our 4.4-minute
response falls within this parameter. In fact, our last fire death was the result of a flashover
which occurred prior to any of our units being on scene.
The principal methods to address these longer response times are: '
I Build additional stations with appropriate additions in staff.
I Strong, proactive public education programs addressing both fire and emergency medical
aspects.
I Mandate all new construction be built with residential or commercial sprinkler systems.
All of these methods have costs related to them. The last two represent proactive responses
for true emergency management. The concept of a mandatory sprinkler ordinance may have
the appearance of being a radical idea. However, it is this proposal which can help keep
actual fires contained to a size which can be fought by a fire department whose staffing levels
are well below those of national norms. It also more appropriately places some of the cost
for fire protection on the property owners.
We sincerely hope you will find our 1993 annual report interesting and informative. We would
appreciate receiving any comments you may have towards improving our department and the
services we provide.

Administration & Support
In the past year the Iowa City Fire Department has seen many changes at all three
stations.
Station 1, which is located at 41 0 E. Washington Street, finalized an office remodeling
project. The large, open office space was furnished with workstations for the captains '
and lieutenants. The offices, which were previously utilized by the fire captains and
fire lieutenants, were then attached living quarters for our battalion chiefs. This was
a much needed improvement in working and living conditions for our senior
management staff. Overhead storage cabinets have recently been added, along with
task lights to provide more lighting. Station 1 personnel are currently developing plans
and specifications for an exhaust system to remove diesel fumes from the apparatus
floor, which will hopefully be completed in early 1994. Preliminary work on,
specifications for a new engine, which is badly needed to replace a 20-year old
engine, is in progress now.
Station 2, which is located at 301 Emerald Street, has completed an interior remodel,
consisting of a new kitchen, new windows, carpet and replaced the original furnace
with a new energy efficient furnace. Virtually all the installation of materials was
performed by personnel assigned to Station 2 working late into the evenings. Their
willingness to assist in this manner permitted more to be accomplished with the
dollars available for this project than would have been possible by contracting this
project out. Station 2 also completed installation of an engine room exhaust system.
1':\
\II
Station 3, which is located at 2001 Lower Muscatine Road, has received a new roof,
replacing the original roof. The concrete facing on the station was also resealed. This
station has replaced the original Resnor heater in the engine room, too.
','
During the Flood of '93, Fire Department personnel spent numerous hours performing
various flood-related activities from helping sandbag the water treatment plant to
pumping water from flooded streets. Nearly 2,000 feet of 4" supply hose was
deemed to be no longer serviceable for fire department activities as a result of our
flood-related duties. This hose was sent to Pollution Control for future use by that
department. We have started to replace our inventory of supply hose with 5" hose
greatly enhancing our water supply capabilities.
Currently, we are upgrading some breathing apparatus. Some of the air tanks are
nearing the end of their authorized life span as determined by the Department of
Transportation.

Two new weather alert siren locations became operational; one at the southern end
of Scott Boulevard in the vicinity of Modern Manor Trailer Court and the other at
Highways 1 and 218. A third siren is currently awaiting installation pending final site
location at the new Irving Weber elementary school on Rohret Road. The department
is examining the replacement of ten older sirens with new sirens having a "feedback
feature" which will send a radio signal confirming operation. If the siren is inoperable,
it will have the capability of self-diagnostics indicating where the problem lies,
permitting us to expedite needed repairs.

Fire Prevention Bureau
Public Education Uodate
The Iowa City Fire Department provided over 240 fire safety classes to 11,956 people
in 1993. These classes included 104 sessions of fire extinguisher training for 4,588
staff members of the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
Focusing on the National Fire Protection Association theme, "Get Out, Stay Out, Your
Fire Safe Response," members of the Fire Department Public Education Station visited
13 private and public elementary schools in Iowa City. Almost 4,000 students
received instruction in proper fire safety behaviors. Nearly 2,400 K-3 students viewed
the "Firefighter Frank and Friends" puppet show. The puppet show dealt with three
behavioral objectives: 11 organize fire drills at home; 21 crawl out of a house if it's
filled with smoke; 3) and stop, drop, and roll if your clothes catch on fire. These
behaviors were chosen because of their relationship with this year's theme. In
addition, almost 1,'600 4-6 grade students received an advanced fire safety program.
This year the students watched a video called "Kids Fire News," in which children
presented news stories about fire safety. After each program, firefighters go into the
classrooms and answer questions about fire safety.
Also, the Department delivered over 1,250 copies of "Fire Safety for Kids" coloring
books and over 1,260 "Sparky Activity Books" to the elementary students. The
coloring book enhances fire safety themes and fire prevention activities through the
use of characters portraying students in the Iowa City schools. The "Sparky Activity
Book" is directed towards older children teaching fire safety messages through a
variety of activities.
Additionally, 183 teacher guides were distributed for use in incorporating fire safety
themes in daily lessons. Fire Prevention Week once again, was extended over a
period of two weeks this year due to expanded participation and involvement at each
school.
Public education personnel also conducted a pilot fire safety ,seminar for an eighth
grade class. The course content included the following: 11 common sense fire
prevention; 21 making and prioritizing choices; 3) creating a safe environment; 4)
knowing two ways out of a burning building; 5) getting help; and 6) appropriate
actions when burns do occur. A pre-test was administered, the seminar was
presented, and a post-test was administered with a significant increase in test scores
noted. This education seminar has been selected by the American Burn Association
to be presented at their 25th Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida.

Public education personnel also conducted fire drills in all local schools. These drills
are not scheduleo,'and 'therefore reflect the anticipated performance of the students
and staff in a real fire emergency. During the drills, Fire Department personnel are
observing, evaluating, and recording all aspects of the drill so problems that are
encountered are solved prior to the next drill. A letter was sent to all schools briefly
summarizing the fire drill and emphasizing the importance of fire safety with school
officials.
o
A file of public safety announcements was established this year. Members of the
Public Education Station pooled their efforts and developed over 20 PSAs to be
utilized throughout the year to focus on important and timely safety messages.
, Highlights of these messages include: 1) winter fire saf~ty; 2) fire prevention week;
3) summer fire safety; and 4) smoke detector maintenance.

Public Education personnel distributed over 20 copies of the Kids Safe fire safety
curriculum to local preschools. The curriculum is designed to target preschool age
children in fire safety behaviors and skills. This information was made available by the
State Fire Marshal's Office.
The Iowa City Fire Department entered into a joint venture with Mercy Hospital to .
establish the Safe Kids Coalition. The National Safe Kids Coalition through its State
and Local Coalitions, seeks to reduce unintentional injuries to children by concerted
community action, including promoting public awareness of unintentional childhood
injury prevention strategies and facilitating public appreciation for the safety measures
necessary to protect children. This unique partnership will provide a structured,
coordinated leadership role to all of our community's injury issues.
()
During the months of June, July, and August public educators worked with Mercy
Hospital on the Safe Sitter Program. These classes are designed for teenagers that
provide childcare during summer employment. All aspects of fire safety are covered
as they relate to childcare.
The Fire Safety Trailer became operational this year. In its inaugural year the
department presented a program that highlighted Exit Drills In The Home (EDITH). The
Fire Safety Trailer was built and donated to the Iowa City Fire Department by the Iowa
City Home Builder's Association. Prior to program delivery, the trailer was
demonstrated for the Iowa City Pilot Club and the Iowa City Home Builder's Garden
Show. The Fire Safety Trailer was utilized by 406 third grade students. Each year
the department intends to target all third grade classes with the Fire Safety Trailer.

The success of the Iowa City Fire Department's Public Education Program is due to
the specialty station concept. The nine personnel assigned to Station 3 are dedicated
to provide quality public education programs to all of our customers. In addition, the
City of Iowa City continues to support public education activities at an admirable
level. During the course of the year, many conferences are attended to allow public
education personnel to utilize current teaching methods and practices. In doing so,
the Iowa City Fire Department continues to be a progressive leader in the fire safety
education of the citizens of Iowa City,
Code Enforcement Uodate
The Iowa City Fire Department conducted over 2,500 fire safety inspections during
1993. The following occupancies were inspected: commercial, institutional,
educational, industrial, and residential (fraternities and sororities). The Uniform Fire
Code continues to be the basis for all commercial inspections, Fire companies
continue to carry out the majority of commercial fire inspections. All companies
remain in-service during company fire inspections.
In February, several members of the Iowa City Fire Department attended a code
conference sponsored by the International Fire Code Institute: "An Overview of the
Uniform Fire Code," This was a general introduction to the Uniform Fire Code that
included a number of exercises for students to practice code application. This training
has allowed inspectors to apply the Fire Code to routine inspections. In addition, a
portion of this training was offered in-house to other fire inspectors during regularly
scheduled monthly training.
In an ongoing effort between the Iowa City Fire Department and the Housing
Inspection Services Department, all fraternities and sororities were inspected. Fire
safety inspections identified the need for improved exiting, upgrades to fire alarm
systems, additional exit signs, exit illumination, and installation of required building fire
assemblies. A number of these conditions have been corrected or are scheduled to
be corrected in the near future, '
The Shift Bureau Inspectors continue to playa major role in specialty inspections.
They inspect all churches, city buildings, schools, daycare centers, and liquor licensing
inspections. Their assignment allows a more detailed inspection process and also
affords more consistency with code enforcement within these occupancies, Code
enforcement is vital to our fire prevention activities. By preventing a fire before it
occurs, thousands of dollars in loss of life, injuries, and property will be avoided,

Fire Investigation UDdate
o
When a fire does occur, the Iowa City Fire Department is responsible for investigating
the fire and determining a ,cause. Typically, this is performed by a company officer.
However, if the fire cause is hard to determine, a shift investigator may be called in
to conduct an investigation. In cases where the fire loss is substantial, determined
to be incendiary, or a serious injury or death has occurred, the Fire Marshal is called
in. The Iowa City Police Department's Detective Bureau continues to provide the
necessary support for criminal investigation of fires. This has been a longstanding
program that has provided to be cost-effective and efficient for both the Police and
Fire departments.
",' i
In the fall of 1993, two of the Shift Fire Investigators attended the State Fire
Marshal's "Fire/Arson Investigation Course." This is a two-week program that covers
all aspects of fire investigations with a practical application of the skills that are
acquired. Shift Fire Investigators are vital to our fire prevention activities as we often
learn of a condition(s) that were preventable that ultimately lead to a fire. This type
of information is extremely valuable to all Fire Department personnel.
Summary
1993 has been a very busy and productive year for the Fire Prevention Bureau. I
would like to take this opportunity to thank the membership for a job well done. In
looking ahead to 1994, we still have our work cut out for us as we rise to meet the
challenge of providing emergency and routine services to our customers, the citizens
of Iowa City. To quote William Drayton, "Change starts when someone sees the next
step."

Hazardous Materials Division
One of the goals assigned to our HAZMA T program was to begin a hazardous
materials analysis of Iowa City by setting criteria and completing 25% of the analysis
in 1993. A hazardous analysis is basically a preplan for facilities that handle
dangerous chemicals. Instead of planning for a fire, we are planning for what might
happen if a chemical is released from a facility and escapes. In a worst case scenario,
we, need to know how likely it is to happen and how many citizens would be
threatened.
We began by identifying most of the extremely hazardous substances (EHS'sl and
their locations in the community. To do this we could have gone facility to facility to
check on chemical storage and use. Instead we gathered the information on the
EHS's from the facility Tier II forms submitted by law to the Fire Department. We
may need to do a follow-up to identify facilities who should be reporting but aren't.
Now that we have identified the EHS's, we will develop facility specific reports on
each substance. The CAMEO (Computer Aided Management of Emergency
Operations) software program will be utilized to simplify this time-consuming task.
CAMEO is' capable 'of running scenarios based on facility specific chemical
information. Our goal is to complete this task in 1994.
Station #2 has made an extra effort this year in getting as many of the volunteer fire
departments in the mutual aid association trained to the HAZMA T operations level as
possible. The Iowa City Fire Department Hazardous Materials Operations program
provided the instructors for the training. The training package used was provided by
the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFFl at no charge and Johnson County
Disaster Services Coordinator, Jim McGinley, paid the cost of reproducing the student
manual. The training is usually given in four 3-hour blocks and consists of lecture,
slides, videos, group exercises, quizzes, and a final exam. We have trained the
Swisher, West Branch, Lone tree, Hills, Coralville, Oxford and North Liberty fire
departments, or 143 firefighters in all, to the operations level in 1993. Training for
the remaining departments in Johnson County will continue in 1994.
In addition to the duties shared by all fire department members, Station #2 personnel
are an integral part of the Johnson County HAZMAT Team. This often requires a
commitment of many off-duty hours by our personnel. Iowa City itself, through the
per capita tax, supports about 60% of the Team's budget. During 1993, all remaining
personnel assigned to Station #2 completed the training necessary to be certified at
the technician level. This usually includes a basic chemistry course (40-80 hoursl and
a 40-hour technician course attended off-site. The Iowa City Fire Department now
has 13 personnel trained to the technician level. In addition, we completed 14

months of technician level training for the county team members, mainly by utilizing
Station #2 personnel already trained to that level. This training was done in-house
because some team members aren't able to take off work to attend training off-site.
Once again, the course we utilized for the technician training was developed by the
IAFF with a federal grant.
(}
Station #2 personnel also contributed many, many hours to completing the HAZMAT
1 response vehicle. The vehicle was purchased as a virtual shell and our personnel
made most of the interior modifications so that the rear of the vehicle could be used
for storage of equipment and the front of the vehicle for research materials. Shift A
assumed a leadership role for this project. Shift B was kept very busy directing the
remodel project and Shift C picked up the slack by assuming a much greater portion
of the inspection and preplan responsibilities.
The Johnson County HAZMAT Team is continuing its efforts to improve service
capabilities. During 1993 we attempted to improve and update our monitoring
equipment. An incident late in the year involving a diesel fuel spill on the Iowa River
identified a deficiency in our boom capability. We have since acquired enough booms
(400 ft.) to reach across the river in case of future spills.
\
During 1994, we intend to maintain the present levels of service and training. We will
maintain the Iowa City Fire Department personnel at the operations level by providing
quarterl')' training and technician level competency for our HAZMA T personnel by wise
use of training dollars set aside for that purpose. As mentioned earlier, we still have
a large portion of the hazardous analysis project to complete. A larger computer at
Station #2 will allow more personnel to become proficient with CAMEO. We also
intend to become more involved in community awareness of hazardous materials with
projects such as Teleguide and by contacting service stations with information on
spills and absorbents. We believe hazardous materials awareness and response to
incidents will continue to be a service the citizens expect for their tax dollars.

Operations/Training
Part of the last fiscal year was spent in the position of OperationslTraining. In that
position, I obtained bids and reviewed specifications for purchasing and maintenance
of equipment. This position requires a lot of activity and judgment by the individual
to ensure that the City is getting the best buy for their dollar.
Another area of concern inherent to the equipment purchasing/maintenance area is to
insure that federal and state mandates are adhered to. This is a consideration
especially. important in areas dealing with personnel safety.
:
I submitted a report relating to the Insurance Services Office rating for the city of
Iowa City. This entailed an enormous amount of research and time commitment due
to the ambiguity inherent to the ISO rating system. The recommendations were
submitted to staff, who reviewed them and resubmitted for approval. It is felt that
a better rating could be possible; however, the concerns of financing the necessary
improvements can become a large factor. Station construction, along with staffing
concerns, seemed to have the greatest impact on the ISO rating.
Trainina
Later in the year I was given the assignment of training. This position required the
submission of a report on methods to improve the training for the Fire Department.
In this report, many areas were discussed including suggestions of a county-wide
training facility. It was also suggested that the city procure a centralized training
facility. The study also addressed the need for a facility and location options.
It is felt that the city needs a training facility that can be expanded and adequate for
the training necessary for safe operation of all city agencies. Additional federal and
state standards for safety are being mandated, which include confined space rescue.
The Iowa City Fire Department does not have the training or equipment to meet the
mandates and at this time the department is vulnerable to responses that meet the
confined space criteria. Pollution Control and the Water Treatment Plant would also
be affected by the mandates.
Another area that needs to be addressed is the area of assurance that people have the
skills to perform at the certification level accredited to them. This would require
testing of both' written and practical skills annually. Some skills are tested and never
referred to again in respect to maintenance of skill level. '

One of the most pressing areas within the department is time utilization. All activities
a-tetiriie:consu-ining and as such, priorities must be established within the department
for these activities. Each activity includes recommended training time. NFPA 1500,
, Section 3-4.1, recommends the following: "Where the fire department is responsible
for structural firefighting operations, the fire department shall provide structural
firefighting training at least monthly." NFPA 1500, Section 3-4.2, states: "Members
who engage in structural firefighting shall attend a minimum of ten monthly structural
firefighting training sessions. Members shall participate in at least 24 hours of
structural firefighting training annually." This is time associated with our most basic
discipline. There is also a set number of hours necessary for emergency medical
response, hazardous materials response, and possibly confined space rescue.
o
i
"
The task of finding time for required training, along with public education and
,inspection service requirements, needs to be evaluated and a rationale for time
commitment decided upon. This question, then, should be asked: ' "Has the
department stretched itself to the breaking point with service offerings?" This internal
question will hopefully be addressed in the coming fiscal year.
There is a need for a program to prepare firefighter level personnel to perform in the
various officer steps available to them. At this time, the department spends a great
amount of effort in firefighter level certification. There is a need to also address a
programof preparation for officer grade operations. One of the means for meeting
this need would be a department career path/ladder.
o
A career ladder would have the advantage of allowing all departmental members to
become familiar with the requirements needed for different levels of operation within
the department. Then they could choose certain limits in areas for rapid advancement
or interest.
Training is the division that has the commitment to assist the department in
successfully meeting its mission. The success of all divisions of the department
depends upon a well-managed training program.

CITY OF IOWA CITY
RE: S.1822
Dear Senator Grassley:
I appreciate the time you spent with the delegation of elected officials from Iowa on Tuesday, March 15, As
I said then, I want to stress to you the importance of defending local cable TV and telecommunications
provider franchising authority. S.1822, which deals with this matter, will be brought before the Senate shortly.
Iowa City has a long tradition of regulating cable TV, enforcing quality standards, ensuring consumer
protection and services, and providing access channels and programming for the local government, public
library, schools, and the public in general. All expenses for these services have been funded from franchise
fees and other revenues from the cable company. These revenues are being threatened by the proposed
legislation,
I
It is our strong belief that it is the locality that can best identify the community needs and wants regarding
cable TV and telecommunications in general and that local government, therefore, is in the best position to
contract with and regulate such providers. Additionally, without the accompanying franchise fees, many if
not all of the local services provided to regulate, protect citizens and consumers, and provide local access
programming are endangered. This, in the City's view, would be disastrous.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter. Please feel free to call Mr. Drew Shaffer, Iowa
City's Cable TV Administrator, at 319-356-5046, or Assistant City Manager Dale Helling at 319-356"5013,
if you have any questions. If you are inclined to support legislation removing franchising authority, please
give us the opportunity to explain in greater detail the City's position, But, in the meantime, I hope you can
be persuaded to vote for inclusion of local franchising authority in any new legislation.
Thanks again for getting together with us,
Sincerely,
~da4\.);,. ~

I'd like to follow up our conversation today about the future status of the land possibly destined
for acquisition for the Iowa City Airport. As I understand it, the Iowa City bowling leagues and
the Convention Visitors Bureau have submitted a bid to hold the state bowling tournament in
Iowa City during the spring of 1996. A pre-requisite for selection is the assurance of having
two alleys of 24 lanes. Your concern is the status of Colonial Lanes since news reports of
potential upgrading of airport runways would mean acquisition and demolition of that building.
Upon checking with the Chair of the Airport Commission, it appears that the process we go
through beginning with the submittal of an Airport Master Plan to the Federal Aviation
Administration and finally reaching a point of negotiation and acquisition once federal funding
is approved precludes anything being completed by 1996. I won't even go into details, and we
all realize nothing is guaranteed when two levels of government are involved.
For the purposes of aggressively pursuing holding the 1996 state bowling tournament in Iowa
City, I'd say good luck and go for ill
Sincerely,
~~

EDA Special Disaster Recovery Grant to Assist Funding a Project to Elevate North
Dubuque Street
In response to the EDA Special Disaster Recovery Grant proposal brief submitted by the City,
City staff has been informed by the Regional Community Economic Recovery Coordinator that
the City will be invited to submit a formal application for an Economic Development Administration
(EDA) Special Disaster Recovery Grant to assist funding a project to elevate North Dubuque
Street. However, instead of the City providing C! twenty-five (25) percent local match for the
project, the City would be required to provide a fifty (50) percent local match. The reduction in
available funds for a project is in response to the EDA receiving numerous applications of which
the total amount of funds requested exceeds the total amount of available funds. In order to fund
as many projects as possible, the EDA has increased the local match required for non-emergency
projects as classified by the EDA. The elevation of North Dubuque Street apparently falls within
that category.
To:
From:
Re:
Staff requests Council's direction on whether to pursue the EDA grant. If the Council decides to
submit a formal grant application, the City's share of the $2.5 million project cost would be $1 ,25
million (50%) rather than $625,000 (25%) as originally estimated,
We will both be at your March 28, 1994, work session to discuss this item.

In response to a request for information from Council Member Kubby
regarding the construction project at City High, I spoke with a
representative of Shive Hattery. He informed me that the structural
steel is scheduled to be installed in May. The trucks delivering
the "1" beams will be using the "northerly edge drive" at City High
which is presently marked as one-way out. For the contractors'
purposes, the drive will be used for both in and out traffic. Major
equipment is scheduled to be moving in sometime in June when the
roofing will take place.
The accident statistics for the 1700 and 1800 block of Morningside
Drive are given in the attached memorandum from the Traffic Engineer.
If you need further information, please call me.

I have been approached by staff regarding Council's meeting schedule for the summer. In the
past there has been some shifting of the meeting schedule for various reasons. This may be a
good time to touch base with Council Members on,times they may be out of town May through
August. With notice, often staff can schedule accordingly and City projects proceed without a
delay. Knowing Council absences ahead of time is helpful in the event a special meeting is
needed. I'm attaching the 1994 schedule for reference purposes.

Airport Commission member Ockenfels presented information to Council to: 1) update Coun-
cil Members on the feasibility study, 2} provide information about the uses and users of the
airport, 3) explain how the state and federal Airport Improvement Program funds are
generated and what is eligible at our airport for AlP funding, 4} explain some of the current
and future capital improvement needs of the airport, 5} emphasize the strong support for the
Iowa City Municipal Airport by the lOOT and Federal Aviation Administration, and 6) show
Council an aviator's perspective of the airport.
Ockenfels stated the current airport study was initiated in the summer of 1991. The study
presented an evaluation of the general aviation needs of the Iowa City/Johnson County area.
One aspect of the stuoy was to determine how development and encroachment near the
airport has affected the ability of the airport to meet safety design standards, Ockenfels
stated the study included: 1) the physical properties of the airport and how it meets the FAA
standards and requirements for layout and operations, 2) the location of the airport in the
community and what impact that location has on arriving and departing aircraft, and 3}
attempted to answer several "what if" questions,
Ockenfels used the overhead projector to present the following slides,

aviation flights at the Iowa City Airport are business related uses Cir for personal transporta-
tion. Ockenfels stated the Iowa City Municipal Airport is the second busiest general aviation
airport in Iowa and ranks 7 in the total number of annual operations statewide. Information
compiled by the Aeronautic Division of the lOOT indicates that Iowa City recorded 26,418
operations in 1988 and 4,121 of these were multi-engine and jet operations. Ockenfels said
to facilitate air travel, the FAA, in conjunction with state and local governments, has
designated a system of airports through a national plan to serve the regional population
centers, This system is called the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. Ockenfels
stated that Iowa City is considered by the FAA to be a very important airport in the plan.
Kubby stated it would be helpful for her to know where the next general aviation airport is
that accommodate jets. Ockenfels stated that Muscatine, Burlington, and Newton can
accommodate jets and anything north of the Coralville Reservoir would probably go to Cedar
Rapids.
Slide: Federal Airport Improvement Program
Ockenfels explained that funds are set aside in an FAA Aviation Trust Fund that is distributed
by FAA region based on the priority of airports in the region and the priority of projects applied
for, In response to Lehman, Ockenfels stated that Iowa City is not a reliever airport,

Iowa City Airport is in compliance and eligible for FAA funding for projects on a 90/10 split.
The FAA will pay up to 90% of the costs for eligible capital improvements projects.
Ockenfels noted that many navigational equipment projects such as precision instrument
approach equipment may be funded 100%. Ockenfels explained that the lOOT funding is
funded on a 70/30 split.

will cost $1.1 million out of City taxpayer budget; and site 1 - alternative site will cost $15,7
million to build a new airport. Ockenfels explained that the value of the current airport site
is estimated to be at $5.9 million. Ockenfels explained that if the Iowa City Airport is
relocated to a new site, the FAA would allow the City of Iowa City to take the funds from the
current site and apply them towards the new site. Ockenfels stated that if the City makes
money on the sale of the airport, those funds will go for airport improvements at the new site.
In response to Throgmorton, Ockenfels stated that none of the land that is high value land is
in the 1 OO-year floodplain. Ockenfels stated that the Airport Commission can provide Council
with a drawing that shows the 100- and 500-year floodplains. Throgmorton asked if it was
possible for the Iowa City Airport to prohibit the use of the airport by jets of any class.
Ockenfels stated absolutely not. Ockenfels stated that the Iowa City Airport cannot prohibit
the use of the airport by any aircraft where the pilot deems he can land there, Throgmorton
inquired about liability. Ockenfels stated liability almost always goes to the pilot. Kubby
inquired about jet aircraft use at the Iowa City Airport, Ockenfels explained that the Iowa
Aviation System plan showed 25% of the aircraft of the 26,000 operations were multi.engine
aircraft. Kubby stressed that the consultants say 83 % of the local users don't use jets. In
response to Kubby, Ockenfels explained that anybody based here is only going to buy an
aircraft based on what they can fly in and out of here with.

Slide: Iowa City Airport Safety Ratings
Ockenfels explained that Iowa City is 71 out of the 112 public airports on the safety rating
scale,
Slide: Iowa Airport Safety Ratings - December 1991
Ockenfels explained that Iowa City was ranked 22 out of the busiest 25 airports in the state
of Iowa as far as safety of the approaches to the runways. In response to Throgmorton,

of Iowa that are considered safer.

that the period of .time to complete the Master Plan is based on how much time the FAA takes
to issue the grants and the projects are completed. Airport Commission member Hicks stated
that he discussed Master Plan timetables with an FAA representative and Master Plans can
be extended over a 20 year period. Horowitz asked who is the project officer for projects.
Ockenfels explained the Airport Commission through the Airport Manager decides what the
priorities are for the grants from the FAA, Ockenfels stated that when the plan is funded, the
Airport Commission sets up a contract with a consulting firm to oversee the projects, Kubby
inquired about selling airport land on the current site, Ockenfels explained that land cannot
be sold but can be leased on a long term lease controlled by the Airport Commission. Novick
inquired about the problem of pedestrian and bikeway path along the river, Ockenfels stated
that the proposed pedestrian and bike path would be in the area that is potentially going to
be used for an instrument approach zone, Ockenfels explained that the City agreed the area
in the trimsition zone and in the obstacle free zone would be controlled by the Airport
Commission, Lehman asked the costs for equipment it takes for instrument landing,
Ockenfels stated that it could be millions of dollars and that it would be 100% funded by the
FAA, Lehman asked if renovation took place at the present airport site, would a bond issue
be required. Atkins stated any debt that would incur for the current site would not require
a bond issue, but to move the airport and build a new one would require a referendum. Atkins
stated that $1.1 million (for Option 11 is likely to require some borrowing.
Airport. Commission member Hicks questioned some of the numbers of the value of the
existing airport, Hicks emphasized that $5.9 million is a substantial amount of money.and he
questioned if it was probably worth that much. Hicks noted that the sewer system is going
to have to be changed and that would be a major cost. Hicks emphasized that the FAA stated
that Iowa City is going to have to make a Master Plan, In response to a question about
shortening runways, Ockenfels explained that existing site Option 1 includes shutting off and
closing down and removing the ends of runways on several of the runways. Ockenfels stated
that the proposal is an A and B category airport. Airport Commission member Ockenfels and
Council discussed the purchase of.property including the bowling alley. In response to Pigott,
Ockenfels stated that the areas affected by the fairgrounds were Option 2 and 3, Ockenfels
referred to the map and stated that two trailer parks would be purchased and trailers removed.
In response to Mayor Horowitz, Ockenfels stated that the Airport Commission needs to
prepare a recommendation to Council. Gentry asked if the Airport Commission is going to
make a recommendation to the Council on which Master Plan to proceed with. Ockenfels
stated yes, Lehman requested that the Airport Commission recommendation include their first
preference, second preference and third preference. Ockenfels stated that the Airport
Commission has not decided upon options yet. Lehman stated that proposal (Option 1) is
probably the only one that could be considered and further discussion of moving the airport
could be counter productive. Pigott noted that the debate is almost centered about
maintaining the airport at its current site, Four Council Members agreed with the assumption
the City is going to maintain an airport. Horowitz requested that recommendations from the
Airport Commission include costs,
Meeting adjourned at 9:03 p,m.

City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
To:
The Honorable Mayor Susan M. Horowitz and Members of the City Council
;k;r
From: Linda Newman Gentry, City Attorney
Marsha Weg Bormann, Assistant City Attorney .
Dated: March 22, 1994
Re: Applicability of Open Meetings Law to Task Forces Appointed by the City Council
ISSUE
Whether the provisions of the open meetings law apply to task forces created by the City
Council.
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSION
Task forces created by the City Council to develop and make recommendations on public policy
issues must comply with the open rneetings law. Task forces created solely to compile and
deliver raw data to the Council need not hold open meetings. In all cases, however, public
policy favors open meetings even if a task force need not comply with the statute.
BACKGROUND
The City Council is creating ten task forces to review Iowa City's current policies and goals.
The Council will appoint a maximum of nine members to each task force. Each task force will
meet over a 75 day period. On or before July 1, 1994, each task force must make
recommendations to the City Council regarding the City's goals, policies and priorities for the
task force's assigned area of review.
DISCUSSION
The open meetings law requires public access to ali meetings of "governmental bodies". For
whatever reason, earlier versions of the law have alternately included and excluded committee
meetings. For example, the 1971 version of Chapter 28A expressly included committees while
the 1978 version deleted any reference to committees. The most recent amendment to the
open meetings law again specifically Includes the meetings of certain advisory committees' and
task forces which means that those task forces and committees must comply with the open
meetings law requirements,

Specifically, on April 15, 1993, the Legislature adopted a new category to the definition of
governmental bodies in Iowa Code ~ 21.2(1). Under ~ 21.20(h), "governmental body" now
means
[a]n advisory board, advisory commission, advisory committee, task force, or other
body created by statute or executive order of this state or created by an executive order
of a political subdivision of this state to develop and make recommendations on public
policy issues. (emphasis added)
On November 18, 1993, the Attorney General issued an opinion that this expanded definition
of "governmental body" applies to certain advisory committees created by school boards and
county boards of supervisors. It is our conclusion that the Attorney General's analysis also
applies to advisory committees created by the City Council and that the open meetings
requirements would apply.
The issue raised by the school board and county board of supervisors was whether the
, Legislature's use of the phrase "created by executive order" limited the applicability of section
21.2(1 )(h) since neither the school board nor the board of supervisors acts by executive order.
Based on the legislative history of the open meetings law and accepted rules of statutory
construction, the Attorney General concluded that:
. . . advisory bodies appointed by school boards and county board of supervisors to
develop and make recommendations on public policy issues are included within the
expanded open meetings coverage despite use of the phrase "created by executive
order." We believe that use of the term "executive order" confines the authority to
create such advisory committees to those elected entities with final executive authority
for the political subdivision, rather than restricting the manner in which such advisory
committees are created.
Op.Atty.Gen. (Tabor to Stilwill and Sarcone), November 18, 1993. Clearly, certain advisory
committees created by the City Council, an elected body with final executive authority for the
City of Iowa City, would fall within the expanded coverage of the open meetings law.
However, the open meetings law does not apply to all advisory committees created by the City
Council, but only applies to advisory committees created "to develop and make
recommendations on public policy issues." Iowa Code g21,2(1)(h). Only those advisory
committees created to develop and make recommendations on public policy would be
required to comply with the provisions of the open meetings law. Task forces or committees
created solely to compile and deliver data to the City Council without making any
recommendations would not need to hold open meetings. See Op. Atty.Gen., (Tabor to Stllwill
and Sarcone). The law does, however, apply to all committees created by the City Council to
make recommendations, The phrase "public policy issues" does not limit the application of this
section, "given the fact that goveming bodies of political subdivisions consider nothing but
public policy issues." Op. Atty, Gen. (Tabor to Stilwill and Sarcone). As such, any committee
or task force created to formulate and deliver recommendations to the City Council must
comply with the open meetings law,
Finally, the open meetings law does not apply to advisory committees or task forces appointed
by administrative employees of a political subdivision. The Attorney General interpreted the

use of the term "executive order" to require an order or rule issued by the governing body "that
is the popularly elected body with final executive authority", As applied to the school district,
the elected school board possesses authority to issue such an order, while a board-appointed
superintendent does not. Similarly, the City Council possesses such authority, while the City
Manager does not. Thus, the open meetings law would not apply to task forces and
committees appointed by the City Manager or some other department head.
CONCLUSION
Clearly, the ten task forces proposed by the City Manager and contemplated by the City
Council fall within the scope of the recent amendment to the open meetings law, The Task
Force Review Process Statement requires each task force to compile the goals, recommended
priorities and the vision statement into a final task force work product. Each committee must
make a recommendation to the City Council by July 1., ,1994. Given the fact that the task forces
are "created to develop and make recommendations orr'public policy issues," the task forces
must comply with the requirements of the open meetings law as set forth in Iowa Code Chapter
21, '
Even if future task forces or advisory committees do not fall within the scope of the open
meetings law, public policy favors open meetings.
Although not subject to the procedural requirements or the sanctions of this chapter, an
advisory or study group which will report to a governing body ordinarily ought to be
subject to the public expectation that is will abide by the spirit of the act and conduct its
business in the sunshine except when a covered body could go into closed session
under [this section].
Op,Atty.Gen, (Schantz and Haskins), May 4, 1979. Thus, the City Council may wish to
consider opening all task force committee meetings to the public even if the Council has no
obligation to do so under the requirements of the open meetings law.
.,
r.'
\
\
Finally, we want to point out that the Legislature may again change its position regarding the
application of the open meetings law to advisory committee meetings. The Senate is currently
considering a bill which would exempt advisory boards, commissions and task forces, If the
bill passes, all advisory committees would be exempt from the open meetings law
requirements. As stated above, however, public policy would still favQr opening all such
meetings to the public, and we recommend same,

From: Jim Throgmorton
Date: March 24, 1994
Subject: Water, energy, and economic development
A couple of weeks ago Jim Larew invited me to his office to talk about an idea
he had. It's an appealing idea, one that deserves our consideration.
The basic idea is this: that we invite Amory Lovins to Iowa City to speak to us
(and a variety of other audiences) about how we can improve the economic
health of our community by investing in cost effective water and energy.
efficient technologies. Why Lovins? Simply this: he's probably the nation's
leading expert on the interaction of water efficiency, energy efficiency, and
economic development, and the organization he founded (Rocky Mountain
Institute) is doing some truly innovative work in the field. You would find
him to be extremely interesting and infonnative.
r"-
.\
, -''\
\ \ \
\ i
'Ii
~
I know that many of you have not heard of Lovins. That's not surprising.
You have busy lives. In my work as a planner, energy policy analyst, and
professor, I've been following Lovins' work since he first published a
pathbreaking article in a 1976 issue of Foreign Altairs. I've heard him speak
several times, and I've read much of his work. He's influenced my thinking
greatly. But not just my thinking. He's influenced people all over the
country for years, And not just people who you might think share my
political views. He advises privately-owned utilities thoughout the nation,
including Iowa Electric (which serves the Cedar Rapids area). Please don't
just take my word for Lovins' knowledge, skill, and value as a speaker. Call
Jim Larew or Jim Schoenfoelder and ask them what they think of him.

Shortly after talking with Jim Larew, I met with Steve Atkins, Chuck
Schmadeke, and others to talk about the water plant. During the
conversation, I posed the possibility of inviting Lovins here. Without
committing himself, Steve seemed interested, I told Steve that Jim Larew
was tentatively exploJing possibilities with Lovins' staff and that I would get
back to him as soon as I heard from Jim. On Monday the 21st, Jim told me
that Lovins could visit with us on April 21. I called Steve, but was reminded
that he was out of town on vacation for the rest of the week.
'~'
, .
What would Lovins speak about, and to whom? We would have to work out
the details, but Jim and I talked about the possibility of Lovins speaking on a
radio broadcast sponsored by the Science Center, speaking to a business group
(perhaps jointly sponsored by the Chamber and the City), and perhaps to a
group of science teachers and students in the evening. Council and staff
could attend any of these presentations. More importantly we would have
the opportunity to talk informally with Lovins duJing the day. Cost? People
like Lovins don't come cheaply, Jim told me that the Science Center would

be willing to commit $500.1500 and that the science teachers group might be
able to commit some funds too. He also thought he would be able to to
persuade Lovins to reduce his normal fee for such visits. We would be asked
to make a reasonable contribution, though I cannot specify the likely amount
at the present time.
I appreciate your consideration of this proposal.

CITY OF IOWA CITY
March 25, 1994
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: Steve Long, 356-5250
The City of Iowa City has been awarded a grant of $56,310 under the Emergency Shelter
Grants Program (ESGP) administered by the Iowa Department of Economic Development. As
in past years, the City will administer these funds which will be used to assist in operating the
Domestic Violence Intervention Program, the Emergency Housing Project, and Youth Homes,
Inc.
~
~...

-.')
,.
\ .
\
\~
This award is a 300% increase over last year's funding of $18,770. This is a result of a
substantial increase in ESGP funding from HUD this year; however, it is still well below prior
years' allocations.
The Domestic Violence Intervention Program (DVIP) will receive $23,400 to be used for utilities
and insurance at the new building, and emergency rent, security deposits and utility payments
for clients.
The Emergency Housing Project (EHP) will receive $6,100 to replace the floor in the restroom
and for the payment of utilities and insurance at the shelter.
Youth Homes, Inc. will receive $24,000 for utilities, insurance and the purchase of furniture at
the homes. The funds will also be used to assist clients with emergency rent, security deposits,
and utility payments.
The City will receive $2,810 for administration of the ESGP funds.

just a handful of restaurants, no major de.

no nightlife.
Like other convention-center backers
throughout the country. Kansas City offi-
cials saw their project primarily as a cata-
lyst for downtown revitalization. The
convention.center expansion began with
a plan unveiled by a private developer in
1987; he eventually promised to include
a twenty-five.story World Trade Center
and a flashy 800.room convention hotel
along with the expanded convention cen-
ter. To city officials, the beautiful archi-
tectural sketches were like a full banquet
set before the starving.
A second developer's proposal had the
convention center expanding in a differ-
ent direction (away from the first devel.
oper's property, and toward property
owned by the second). This proposal was
ultimately rejected. City-council memo
bers recall little if any discussion of un.
derlying merit or ultimate cost. A num-
ber of council members toured larger and
newer facilities around the country and
came back convinced that Kansas City

was losing its competitive advantage,
Even some cynicism regarding feasibility
studies failed to dampen enthusiasm for
the project, which was, admittedly, driv-
en as much by emotion and intuition as
by facts and figures. Since the bulk of the
costs of the project would be paid by the
state and' by new hotel and food and bev-
erage taxes, worries about finances were

soon superseded by the debate over the
specifics of the project.
"Lead. follow, or gctthe heck out of the
way" was the way a Kansas City Star
columnist characterized the prevailing
spirit. A feasibility study supplied the nec-
essary endorsement for construction. The
cry was taken up by construction interests
and unions, and by the city's Convention
and Visitors Bureau, an independent body
charged with marketing the convention
center and tourism. When, in 1989, the
city successfully lobbied the Missouri
state legislature to contribute $2 million a
year, the deal was virtually done.
The chainman of the Convention and
Visitors Bureau echoed the general opti.
mism. suggesting that it was "worth a
gamble" that convention-center construc-
tion would spark the kind of development
exemplified by the promised trade center
and convention hotel. A few voices,
quickly drowned out, warned that the city
should get the promises for affiliated
construction in writing.
Many cities have discovered that their
residents are not eager convention-center
supporters-especially if they get a whiff
of tax increases. Heywood Sanders. a
professor in the Department of Urban
Administration at Trinity University. in
San Antonio. has documented that most
of the nation's new convention centers
are being built without referenda, typical-
ly by establishing separate convention
authorities empowered to issue bonds
without voter approval.
In Kansas City, however, a referendum
was called on whether to increase hotel-
motel and restaurant taxes so as to pay
off the convention-center costs. In early
1990 developers, hospitality-industry
members, and construction concerns
mounted a $300,000 advertising cam.
paign. assuring voters that the expanded
convention center would create jobs, en-
courage the construction of a new hotel.
and revitalize the economy. Best of all,
"two.thirds of the funds raised will come
from those who live outside the city."
(The ads didn't mention that the resi-
dents' one third would amount to some
57 million a year, or that the projected
jobs had an average annual salary of
514,000-aboutthe poverty level for a
family of four.) The convention-center
tax initiative passed by a landslide,

come from the new,center is projected to
reach $3 million a year. Operating costs
will be around $6.5 million, marketing
will add some $2 million. and annual
debt service will be $13 million. Some
$18 million a year will be needed to cov-
er the overall losses.
Although cities across the country have
developed creative sources of income to
recover such losses (horse racing in Or-
ange County, California, for example, and
the sale of air rights in Springfield. mi.
nois). travelers and tourists are the prima-
ry candidates to cover costs, Kansas City,
like many municipalities, has raised the
hotel-motel laX to help cover convention-
center costs, to the tune of some $7 mil-
lion a year. But the biggest new source of
income is a citywide 1.75 percent food
and beverage tax, which generates more
than $9 million a year.
Virtually all cities need to subsidize
their new convention centers, but this is
not to say that the convention business
isn't profitable-for show sponsors
(largely associations of one sort or anoth-
er). Although Kansas City will have to
pay some $400,000 a week in total costs
(operation, debt service, and marketing)
for its center, any given convention will
be able to book into the center for up to
540.000, which will provide for three to
four days of exhibits and a day or tWO for
setup and takedown. Some of the largest
and most attractive conventions will get
the use of the entire building free. And
even when they're paying rates at the
high end of the range (more than a dollar
a square foot), sponsors can turn a neat
profit by renting the same space to
commercial booths, for an average of
515 a square foot. Convention sponsors
can make an enormous profit from a
three-day show, thanks largely to public
subsidies.
IF convention centers cannot come
close to breaking even, why do so
many cities want them? One factor is
civic pride and boosterism. Kansas City
officials perceived the new center not
only as a source of visitor spending but
also as an enhancer of the city's image.

competitiveness of city officials, When

In the end, convention centers have a
dangerous allure. The convention trade
is widely seen as a civic windfall, with
thousands of expense-account-Iaden visi.
tors dropping millions of dollars into the
local economy without demanding that
the city educate their children or guard
their houses. A goveming assumption is
that convention centers will automatical-
ly make up thejr operating losses from
taxes on visitors and from the overall
economic benefits of visitor spending.
In other words, convention centers are
the equivalent of a discount store's week-
ly loss leaders. Their purpose is not to
make money directly but to attract cus.
tamers. Once convention tourists are in
town, they will spend their money in lo-
cal hotels, restaurants, and stores. Natu.

centers are nearby hoteliers, restaura-

A more universal economic benefit is
oUllined in the feasibility studies that
cities invariably commission, for $50,000
or more, to provide a basis for their deci-
sions. These reports. through sheer bulk
and impressive. looking tables and charts,
are clearly designed to impress the public
officials who order them. What they
don't do is withstand any sort of inten-
sive scrutiny. "The benefits are invariably

a number of shaky assumptions. For in-

experts concur that even the heaviest
convention traffic cannot alone support a
major hotel, and there was plenty of evi-
dence to suggest that existing downtown
hotels were already troubled. These prob.
lems were conveniently ignored, and as
the convention center rises. no new hotel
is in sight. The latest proposal for one,

tel that it went into the convention-cen-
ter.hotel business: Tampa. Florida, is a
step ahead of Kansas City in its efforts to
finance a 900.room hotel with $137 mil-
lion in city bonds.
The Kansas City feasibility study also
projected steady growth in the convention
business, slighted the impact of other new
convention centers. and used a handy de-
vice called an economic multiplier.
Economic multipliers sllggest that a
dollar spent in the local economy is more
than a dollar gained. One dollar spent by
a tourist is tracked as it travels through
the city. It adds to the bellhop's income,
which allows him to rent an apartment
and buy groceries, both of which are ac-
tivities involving other employees. One
dollar is thus claimed to be worth two or
three or even six or eight as it circulates
-and is taxed over and over again.
"Multipliers are grossly misused,"
Judd says. "They're real. but they're of.
ten less than two, and they are usually
based on inadequate study of the local
economy." Even when multipliers have
been adjusted for locale, feasibility stud-
ies typically don't adjust them for indus-
try. Work by Marc Levine. the director of
the Center for Economic Development at
the University of Wisconsin at Milwau-
kee. has demonstrated that no given mul-
tiplier is appropriate across the board-
in Milwaukee impact varies by industry
from a multiplier of three for the auto.
pans industry to one of 1.7 for tourism.
"You can always find an economist who'll
give you a sufficient multiplier," admits
David Arnold, a hospitality consultant
based in Philadelphia.
In the key Kansas City study. which
was conducted by the now.defunct con-
sulting fimn of Laventhal and Horwarth,
each dollar spent by conventioneers was
considered to multiply to $3.30 for the
county and to $4.50 for the state of Mis.
souri, with plenty left over for neighbor.

city council's decision, by the Mid-
America Regional Council, the quasi.au-
tonomous regional planning authority for

It is typically argued that convention-

primarily hotel and motel surcharges.
The assumption here, as is made quite
plain by the hospitality industry. is that
taxing visitors is okay. but only if the
proceeds are used to recruit more visitors.
Increasingly, though, hotel taxes can't
cover the cost of lavish new centers, and
creative new taxes are being employed.

taxes, but Kansas City is quite typical in
that 95 percent of hotel taxes come from
the pockets of ordinary business and
pleasure travelers, and only some five
percent from conventioneers. And the
food and beverage tax is fundamentally a
tax on residents.
Hospitality interests cry foul if a sug.
gestion is made that these taxes might be
used for purposes other than bringing in
the occasional horde of conventioneers.
But tax revenue is tax revenue, and soon.
er or later cities are going to look long-
ingly at the millions that are being gath-
ered at hotels and restaurants, transported
through potholed and crime-infested
streets, and sunk into once state.of-the-

either have recently been expanded or are
undergoing renovation. A 1993 Trade
Show Bureau survey of cities with exist-
ing centers showed that 55 percent were
planning expansions or new facilities.
The expansions suggest a booming in-
dustry. yet demand for space has shown
essentially no growth over the past two
years, and no available evidence suggests
that the situation will improve anytime
soon. An American Society of Associa-
tion Executives forum recently assessed
at 40 percent the probability that the
trade-show industry would experience a
disastrous downward spiral into the early
part of the next century.
Projections from those who manage
convention centers are hardly rosier. John
Swinbum, the executive director of the In-
ternational Association of Auditorium
Managers, wrote in the summer of 1992.
"I believe there may be a severe shake-out
in the not.too-distant future that may rock
the entire business of conventions. con-
sumer shows, and trade shows." Unless
centers start paying their way, he predict-
ed. city officials may simply get out of the
convention business and convert their cen-
ters into enormous community centers.
The convention business is not likely
to be helped by the latest changes in the
federal tax code. Reductions in the de.
ductibility of entertainment expenses
and spousal travel are being described
as severe negatives for the convention
industry.
Will some communities prosper even
if demand remains flat? In fact a few con-
vention centers do seem to be the eco.
nomic engines that are widely promised.
Large convention centers surrounded by
hotels. in cities with innate appeal, will
always attract the biggest shows and con.
ventions. But for those cities, like Las
Vegas. Anaheim. and Orlando, conven.
tion-center business is just the icing on
the cake of an already large number of
visitors.
Jealous cities commonly overlook this,

center can substitute for a vibrant city.

Petersen meant is that locations without
strong "destination appeal" will have un-
prolitable convention centers, no matter
how enthusiastically the numbers are
tweaked. A convenlion center can be a
worthwhile bonus 10 an area that is ai-
, ready rich in visitors and hotels. but a ho-
tel-poor downtown in Kansas City or Los
Angeles cannot expect fluctuating con-
vention traffic to justify construction of a
single large hotel, let alone revitalize the
city.
John Swinburn, of Ihe facility man-
agers' association, thinks that rental fees
must more nearly cover costs. and that
centers will have to run Iheir own shows,
collecting the huge profits available to
show sponsors. Convenlion centers are
moving cautiously in this direction by ab-
sorbing some peripheral profit centers.
such as catering and olher services. The
model for profit-generating convention
centers exists in Europe, where communi-
ty-sponsored exhibition halls operate their
own shows and reap the rewards. But, as
Swinbum admils, this possibility becomes
more and more remote with each new
convention.center ribbon cutting.
The desire for showplace convention
centers continues, intlamed largely by
special interests. civic pride, and the sort
of mob menlality that leads to gold rush-
es and bank runs. Every city is afraid of
being left behind, and seems undisturbed

Once Ihe investment is made. a city has
little choice but to remain in the bidding
wars to attract major conventions. For a
few days a year the hospitality industry in
cities like Kansas City and Providence
will glory in the convention business as
"city-wides" (conventions large enough
to match the hospitality capacities of the
host city) fill hotels and restaurants. But
all this activity will not correct the basic
naws in the convention.center logic-
flaws that mean unending tax support will
be needed and urban development will be
consistently disappointing.
