First I believe that the kids that want to drink will find a way. I know for a fact that the majority of kids that are underage who are drinking in the bars now have been drinking since high school. They found a way to do it then, they will find a way to do it now. Also I believe that kids are safer in bar settings because of the amount of people that are near them and the staff at bars. If a 21 ordinance were instated, house parties would be the location of most social gatherings. This leaves the possibility of total chaos because no one is every totally in control of a house party. Fights can break out and go on for a while because there are no bouncers. Minors could pay their five bucks for a cup and drink absurd amounts without anyone telling them to stop. Unlike in a bar situation where if you want to drink that much you'll have to pay for it and you will also eventually get cut off. Lastly I think that a 21 ordinance would hurt the downtown area. Many establishments have live bands come in and perform and not all of their fans are 21. Also the problems that have occurred in the past from binge drinking seem to be from a select few and are rarely severe enough to bring much attention. There are so many more problems that need to be address before we need to talk about this issue again. Sincerely !)~ /'L-) Brian Enri~O ," _-+-en~ . I /' -:".J ~ Dear Mayor Lehman: I am a senior at the University of Iowa. I am writing to you with regards to an issue that has come to my concern. With so many college students frequenting the bars in Iowa City due to the 19yr old age restriction I believe that the age limit should be 21 only for all bars. I believe this law should be enforced because too many underage individuals become intoxicated and act disorderly because they are unable to hold their liquor. Not only is the abundance of underage drinkers annoying it is a nuisance to older, more mature students who wish to go out and have a relaxing time. Several of my roommates work at various bars that allow 19yr individuals and they always have to deal with fake ids and too many overly intoxicated underage students. These underage students make it their priority to get alcohol even when they are underage by either having someone buy it at the bar or using a fake id. This who process is causing way to many students to develop health issues and bad grades none the less. I strong recommend that you push for a 21 only restriction for all bars in Iowa City. I understand that the Iowa City police make money for the city with all the tickets they issue but I think it is better for both parties if the age limit was raised. Thank you for your time.

I am a junior here at the University of Iowa and have seen some disturbing things personally and in the papers over the years that raise some concerns with what police officers in Iowa City really care about. On every police car, there is the saying "To Serve and Protect." The question I would like to raise is what and who these officers are actually "serving" and "protecting," because from my experience they are not doing a very good job of carrying out their duties. There are much more important things besides underage drinking and drunken college kids that need to be dealt with in this city. It is true that the police do a good job of catching people that are driving under the influence and I commend them for that. Driving under the influence is unacceptable and poses a major threat to anyone walking on the sidewalks or driving in the streets. I am glad that there is no tolerance for infractions such as this. I understand that the legal drinking age is 21 and that the police need to enforce this law. However, there are worse things going on outside the bars that police need to take care of before spending a half hour in a bar giving out PAULA's. Just take a look at the police blotter every day and all you will find are a bunch of PAULA's and Public Intoxications that have been issued. I do not think that is right to arrest a kid for being too drunk if they are not doing anything to harm anyone. Why can the cops not just pick the kid up and make sure he or she gets home safely? That would be actually serving and protecting. Instead, the cops feel the need to put the kid in handcuffs and make him or her spend the night in jail. Sure, many of the problems that do go on in this town are related to the over consumption of alcohol. The University of Iowa is a school that revolves around partying and that, along with it being one of the top schools in the nation, is one of the reasons that kids choose to come here to receive their college educations. There is nothing that can be done to curb the drinking by Iowa students. What can be done is going after the things tlia'ii actualI$ 21-' -..: harm people. Freshman year, one of my buddies did the responsible thing and toOk-jr~ab.? :-., ':;' Il back to the dorms from downtown. As he was walking up the steps to go into th~p~rm ~ to _. bed, he was greeted by a cop that randomly gave him a breathalyzer and arreste<.i,~ip on~e :~ spot for public intoxication because he blew over the limit. Keep in mind that 1i~liad done '~j J...:-- en .c- nothing wrong. Just this past semester, one of my close buddies was beaten severely right across from the Pita Pit on a Thursday night around 11 :30 pm, a time and night that cops are notorious for roaming the bars. It was so bad that his whole head was swollen. The cops were nowhere to be found and whoever did it got away. Another one of my buddies had his jaw broken right in front of The Summit last year. Again, the cops were nowhere to be found. How about all of the girls that have been sexually assaulted and raped? Where were the cops patrolling the streets when these things were happening? My guess is that they were either in a bar handing out a meaningless PAULA or standing around in the ped mall looking for their next public intoxication victim that was really just trying to innocently make his or her way home like my buddy. The police force should be a respectable group of individuals that actually cares about the community it is "serving and protecting." I think I speak on behalf of the student body when I say that the police force we have is not a group of respected individuals, but more of a group that is looked down upon by the people it is supposed to be serving. I know that this is only a letter by a meager college student, but I just thought it necessary to voice my concern. Thank you for your time.

I think trying to deal with this in isolation with only local authority is not a fruitful exercise. I see that the State of Illinois has a proposed House Bill 3131 which would automatically revoke a driver's license for 3 months if a person is charged with underage drinking. They don't have to be driving at the time - if they are convicted of underage drinking their driver's license is automatically revoked. What is more important to a minor than their driver's license? Money is not important - their parents will pay the fine. But the threat of losing their driver's license - that actually may have a preventive effect. What if Illinois does proceed to pass this bill? That would mean even more Illinois students would come here to perpetuate our "party town" reputation, because they can drink under age without fear of license revocation - "greener pastures" so to speak. I see worse times coming ahead if Illinois does pass this bill and Iowa does not. I would suggest we lobby our State House representatives to pass a similar bill next session, so we are in parity with Illinois, and our local governmental officials can go to to deal with other issues besides the one - issues that have been neglected while attempting to deal with underage drinking. Thanks for your consideration.

I feel it costs too much to park downtown even if you buy a spot for the year. My apartment complex as with many costs to park there but the problem is there isn't even enough to offer aJl tenants parking spots. I feel there should be a limit of apartment complexes and or businesses that can be built if there isn't equal number of parking places. I feel it is a huge inconvenience and is one enormous disappointment in attending the University of Iowa. I would be ok with paying to park by my apartment but there is not any available for my apartment complex to even offer me. With all the assaults going on downtown Iowa City and being a girl I do not feel comfortable walking or running alone at night, especially receiving e-mails in regards with these problems. With that in said, the only place I found to park my car was in an alley way by the business school for $550 a year. This is a quite reasonable price and good location but not when I live on the opposite side of the river by Carver Hawkeye Arena. Having a couple part time jobs to help pay my way through school I have to walk home from my parking spot during late hours of the night on average three times a week. With as many people that are hired to give tickets to Iowa students throughout the day and even night hours, I feel you could hire someone to come up with more parking places. Sometimes I end up parking in the dental lot across from my complex and get a nine doJlar ticket but am worth it to me most nights. It makes me feel that the city is after making money off of the situation. You would think there would be better things for workers to do around Iowa City than to ticket people twenty-four hours of the day. I feel there has to be a way of getting this parking situation under control.

Market Street Iowa City, IA 52245 City Council Members 410 E. Washington Street Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Council Members, This letter is pertaining to all of the talk about smoking in restaurants/bars in Iowa City. I am a sophomore at the University of Iowa so I have been going to the restaurants and bars of Iowa City for two years now. I do not smoke and breathing in smoke really bothers me when I go to eat or hang around at the bars, but I do not feel it is your decision to ban smoking at restaurantslbars. I believe the only person who can make the decision to ban smoking is the owner of the establishment. It is the customers choice as to where the go to eat. If the smoke at a certain restaurant causes them problems then do not go that establishment anymore. People will make the argument that this is not fair to nonsmokers, but businesses have smoking and nonsmoking sections. I realize the smell of smoke can still bother people in nonsmoking sections and if this is the case I would not go to the establishment any longer. If enough customers leave then the business will be forced to make a change, but it should be left to the business it self to make the decision. I have presented some reasons I feel that establishments should be able to choose whether or not to allow smoking. I hope you consider some of my thoughts and wish everyone a good day. Sincerely, ~R- Brandon Arends March 29, 2007 City Council of Iowa City Council Members 410 E. Washington Street Iowa City, lA 52240 Dear Council Members: I am writing to express my opinion on an issue of concern to the citizens of Iowa City and students at The University of Iowa. 00 July 1st, 2006, The University of Iowa Hospitals and Oioics implemented a smoking ban for the entire hospital campus. On April 2nd, 2007, The University of Iowa Health Sciences campus also went smoke-free. According to an informational section on these new policies from a University maintained website, "Smoking is the number one health risk in America today - not ouly for smokers themselves, but for non-smokers via secondhand smoke" The website also mentions that secondhand smoke causes approximately 3,000 lung cancer deaths and 35,000 heart disease deaths in adult non-smokers in the Uoited States each year, and that secondhand smoke is rated by the Environmental Protection Agency, along with asbestos and benzene, as one of the most dangerous cancer-causiog agents. Currently, there is no city ordinance dictating smoking policy, instead leaving the decision whether to permit smoking up to individnal businesses, restaurants, and bars. I believe this should change The previously mentioned facts are reason enough to believe that secondhand smoke is dangerous, but more needs to be done to convince the community that this hazardous behavior should be regulated by the City of Iowa City. Such a policy would undoubtedly be met with much criticism, especially from members of the community who make the choice to smoke But there is precedent; take for example Champaign-Urbana, containing the campus of The University of Illinois, and its January 31'", 2007 smoking ban. The recent ban prohibits smoking inside workplaces and public areas, including restaurants and bars, and may serve as a scenario similar to what would happen in Iowa City, home of another Big Ten university. Though the longer term economic effects of the smoking ban, such as restaurant/bar revenues and cigarette sales have not yet been observed, there are immediate benefits to the policy. 00 a recent visit to The University of Illinois campus, I was able to enjoy a night out without having stinging smoke in my eyes or asthmatic reactions to the contaminated air, and I didn't have to worry about my coat becoming saturated with the stale smell of cigarettes. Facing the choice of either roioiog my clothes or walkiog to the bar in the freezing cold with no coat often keeps me at home on the ___1"-,,.1. in Iowa City when I would otherwise go out, and I know I'm not alone Removing that variable would bring more non-smoking patrons in the winter, and the option for smokers to simply exit the bar and smoke outdoors wouldn't deter in the warmer months. I am not argoiog whether citizens have the right to smoke, ouly who they affect with their choice. As Dennis Lewart, vice president of C-U Smokefree Alliance in Champaign-Urbana receody said, "It's just like I have the right to swing my fist, but that right ends at your nose Smokers have the right to smoke as long as it does not harm anyone else" I urge the City Council Members to considet this matter as not ouly a concern about the rights of non-smokers, but as a critical issue of public health. The Council may find it helpful to consult and collaborate with the University of Iowa's Smoking Policy Review Committee on how the City of Iowa City can take action to protect the rights and health of its citizens.

Washington Street Iowa City, IA 52240 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing about a common concern in the United States. As a nonsmoker and a current resident ofIowa City, I feel it would be in the best interest of the council to make all establishments in Iowa City smoke free. Although most establishments feel that it will hurt their business, I feel that more people would feel more opt to various establishments if they were smoke free. Smokers choose to harm their bodies, but I do not feel that they should have the right to affect everyone around them. Over the past three years, I have seen University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics go smoke free. I feel that it is time for the City of Iowa City to follow suit and become smoke free. As an avid oxygen breather, I feel that it is my right to breathe clean and smoke free air. Please take consideration in helping the non smokers ofIowa City live a healthier and smoke free life. Thank you for your time and consideration, c', "--" ::'::c -c." Elizabeth Bickford ~~ ):.> James Cate 327 E. College St. #1718 Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Council Members; I am writing you this letter concerning the smoking situation at the bars in downtown Iowa City. I am currently a student at the University of Iowa and I used to be a heavy smoker, especially at the bars but have recently quit. I have come to what I believe is a reasonable solution to the controversy of a smoking ban. From personal experience I know that smoking is a choice. It is hard for me to fathom why I started in the first place, but I did. It was my choice to continue to smoke instead of quitting. As you know, currently smoking downtown in the bars is allowed, and it should be. Smoking is a choice, as consuming alcoholic beverages is as well. In my days of smoking I have encountered everything at the bars, people giving me dirty looks for smoking, hands waving away my exhaled smoke, and even people ripping cigarettes out of my mouth. I never got mad through the situations because I understand that some people do not want smoke in their face, but they also made the choice to go to the bar which they had full knowledge it would have smoke through out the air. My resolution is simple and is already in affect in many different restaurants. Make the bars half smoking, half none slp.oking. This way can please both sides. Yes the anti-smokers still have a chance to pick up second hand smoke, but the risk is reduced. An example of this would be the Summit Bar. The Summit has two stories, one for smoking, and one for non-smoking. Smokers could smoke upstairs while non-smokers could hang out downstairs. This could apply to all the bars with more than one level. Bars with only one level can split from the front to the back or make special smoking sections. Smoking is something people will always be doing. No matter how high the govermnent raises tobacco cost, smokers will still buy. Separating smoking sections is a way to at least try and please everyone. I hope that you discuss this the next time the issue comes up because I do believe it is a compromise for all and enables everyone to still maintain a fun environment at the bars.

Washington Street Dear Council Members, Second hand smoke shouldn't be something people have to worry about eating at a restaurant. Being outdoors or in a bar is a place where you assume many risks a day. Enjoying a meal downtown shouldn't be a place to assume risks. Second hand smoke is harming millions of people every year. Everyone can make choices for themselves, but should be banned in certain places if it harms others. Smoking is a bad habit that many people can't quit. It isn't right if their addiction affects my health. Seating in smoking and non-smoking areas in a restaurant doesn't do anything. The building doesn't just stop the smoke from traveling to the non-smokers "air space." The smoking seating should be in a complete different room, or outside. There isn't enough air flow in restaurants to filter out the smoke. It would be better for the community and local restaurants. On television there are many commercials about how bad smoking is for your health. Trying to get people to stop smoking and to not smoke at all. The government also keeps raising taxes and price of cigarettes. These adjustments they have made, haven't put a dent in the number of smokers. It is time to stop pushing the issue to the side and fInd a solution for this problem. It's the duty of the local and state governments to come up with a solution. It isn't up to the businesses, because you need to force them to do it. One business would lose to much money if they were the only one banning smoking. If it was illegal to smoke in all restaurants, the businesses wouldn't see an effect on their cash inflow. Sincerely, CD~~ Dustin Christiansen o -~. I'-~---' '::.:.} ;;;;:;.;:;:, -' .~'..

I'm sure you've heard the facts by now, but just to remind you, two thirds of Americans do not smoke. Indoor smoking also causes buildings to deteriorate and requires more cleaning than buildings where there is no smoking indoors. And of course the obvious fact that second hand smoke kills. Keeping this in mind, with the ban being passed, it would pass on the decision to local government. I am writing to you to find your opinion on what you would do if this bill was passed in the Iowa House, as it is proposed to do. I realize these things take time, but thousands of people die in the United States every year from second hand smoke. I feel that this is an action that needs to take place as soon as possible. When I was young my grandfather died from lung cancer and though he may not have received it from being in a smoky restaurant, he was a smoker from a young age, it has made be grow up to the fact that smoking does kill and for those people who choose not to smoke, it is unfair to expose them to those same toxins that those who choose to smoke are around by choice. A response on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Second-hand smoke, is involuntarily inhaled by nonsmokers, and lingers in the air hours after cigarettes have been extinguished and has been linked to many adverse health effects, including cancer, respiratory infections, and asthma, in Iowa City patrons. Secondhand smoke contains hundreds oftoxic chemicals. It has been classified by the Enviromnental Protection Agency (EP A) as a known cause of cancer in humans. Exposure to this smoke causes disease and premature death in children and adults who do not smoke. It is these people who are frequenting Iowa City restaurants, and putting money back into the Iowa City economy. A negative result for Iowa City might include lost business, due to families who exercise the choice of establishments in Cedar Rapids or Coralville. Secondhand smoke is especially harmful to young children, who also frequent Iowa City establishments with their families. This smoke not only effects Iowa City patrons, but the workers as well. Nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke at work are at increased risk for adverse health effects. The consequences of this are not trivial. You are enabling a decreased quality of life by allowing this "choice" of one to be made for many. Fortunately, this is something that is preventable, with your help. Currently, 14 states have banned smoking in public areas. They include: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, and Washington, as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. If they passed strong smoke- free air laws, than there is no reason that Iowa can't be the next, or at least Iowa City. Thank you in advance for your support of eliminating second-hand smoke in the Iowa City public restaurants. Please write to me of your position on this issue.

In one of my classes we have been assigned to write a letter and identify an issue that we feel strongly about. I have chosen the ever so popular second-hand smoke issue that is being debated in Iowa City. I strongly believe that second-hand smoke should be banned from Iowa City restaurants. I have many reasons why I believe this. Most importantly, I do not choose to smoke. This is a choice that I am very proud of. I would appreciate at for myiungs to stay smoke-free. Second-hand smoke can be just as damaging as smoking. I am going to college to have a long successful future. Not only with my career but I also want a fiunily. I would not like my life to be cut short because of an illness that I received by something I decided I did not want in my life. I think it is rude for people to smoke it restaurants. I think everyone has the right to make their own choices in life, but if they are going to choose to smoke they can at least step outside. Thanks for taking the time and reading my letter.

S ';21.4.C::l March 29th 2006 Dear Iowa City Council Members, I am a student emolled at the University of Iowa and in the class "Perspectives of Leisure and Play," in which we are writing an action letter for a change that we feel is very important. I have chosen to write to the council on a matter that I feel is very important and needs to be addressed here in Iowa City and also the state of Iowa in general. I am referring to the current lack of smoking laws for bars and restaurants in our town. I strongly feel that change needs to be made in the order of putting a ban on smoking in public establishments such as restaurants and bars. I have been to a couple larger cities that all follow this ban. Recently I was in Austin, Texas, where there is absolutely no smoking in the bars. Patrons must simply step outside the doors to light up and smoke. Last week I was in Minneapolis, Minnesota and they too had a no smoking policy in their bars and restaurants. Again, you would just have to step outside, and in lots of cases, they have a designated area for you to smoke in. Finally, at the beginning of this week I was in Chicago, Illinois. Not all of the bars have adopted the no smoking policy but by the end of June, they have to comply. Many of the bars there now are non-smoking, and towards the end of the summer they all will be. There are many advantages to having smoke-free bars in the city. The restaurant and bar would be healthier for everyone occupying including the waitresses, bartenders, and all patrons. Second, the bar would remain much cleaner and not smell of smoke, and patrons could leave without the feeling of an ashtray. It could help many places attract more customers because of a cleaner and more professional environment. What businesses do you know where you can smoke inside? Stepping outside is not that big of deal compared to the impact my proposed change would have. I bet that you wouldn't believe that as a smoker myself, I am still proposing this issue towards you. As the price of cigarettes just took a huge jump, eliminating the smoking in the bars would eliminate lots of smoking all together. One main reason for the price increase on cigarettes was to get people to stop, so why not take it a step further? I know many people that smoke only when they drink at the bar and to think that this is being prevented in other cities and not ours is a shame. As you know there are many problems with smoking among lung cancer, why not help people slow down and even quit? If smoking establishments were no longer around, it would make smokers like me reevaluate the situation, and realize that the reason for the no smoking-ban would be in my best interests. . I hope you consider my proposal and also my other classmates that will be writing. This is an important topic that needs to be addressed. The disadvantages of smoking in bars far outweigh the advantages.

Dubuque #24 Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Council Members: I am writing this letter in regard to smoking policies in Iowa City and more specifically the bars. As a University of Iowa student I frequent the bars downtown in Iowa City and am generally happy about the way that things are handled. But with the recent push to cut smoking in many public places and the way that restaurants have followed the lead to ban smoking, I think it would be a good idea for bars to follow the trend. Myself and others that I know are allergic to the smoke from cigarettes and are given the ultimatum of either be excluded from social events or to wake up the next day after a night out and have a extremely sore throat and barely be able to talk. I know it would be nearly impossible to completely eliminate smoking, but if bars were made to have designated areas where smoking is prohibited I believe it would be very beneficial to community members who are adversely affected by the smoke of cigarettes. I am very hopeful that your council will be able to assist me in my push for a change downtown.

As you all know smoking has been addressed as an on campus issue but has been limited to the dorms rather than all on campus buildings, especially restaurants. I would like to make a suggestion about the restaurants in Iowa City. I feel that we need to make the restaurant environments smoke free. I feel that smoking in restaurants is becoming a consistent habit that is very unhealthy and unappetizing. I feel as ifI cannot enjoy my food when I am swallowing black smoke along with it. Most smokers are not conscience and considerate to the other customers, and I feel that we should not have to be penalized for their unhealthy habit. I know that I am not the only one that feels this law should be changed and enforced. Parents should not have to bring their children into smoke infested areas when they want to take them out to eat. It is unhealthy for children of young ages to be exposed to excess second hand smoke. I feel that smokers can smoke in the outdoors, where the area is not confined. Not only is second hand smoke bad for children but also for everyone in general. I hope you will consider my proposal of banning smoking in public restaurants in Iowa City. Thank you for taking time to read this letter, I appreciate it greatly. Have a wonderful day. S:~~,~ Natalie Harvey 7 100 Hillcrest WO 12 Iowa City, IA 52242 Dear City Council, My name is Beth Hefel and I am a student here at the University of Iowa. I wanted to write to you about my concerns with smoking in the Iowa City bars. I know this topic has been an issue for a while but if hearing one more voice can make a difference then here goes. I started smoking at the age of 14 and quit my freshman year of college. Quitting a bad habit is never easy but what makes it even harder is when you go to the bar and you are instantly surrounded by smoking kids who are giving off second-hand smoke as well. I am very happy I quit smoking but could have gone through the process a lot easier and faster if smoking was banned from the Iowa City bars. Not only will it help others try to quit, but will give students and the staff a safer place to be. Second-hand smoke is very dangerous even if you don't smoke yourself. Of course this is not breaking news but I would like you to ask yourselves if second-hand smoke is so dangerous why are we letting our students be exposed to it every weekend? Working at a bar can be good money, so quitting would be hard for a poor college student to give up. Ifwe can save at least one staff member from receiving lung cancer I believe banning smoking from the bars is well worth it. 12,695 people and counting have died this year just from second hand smoke. I am in the bars quite frequently on the weekends and am exposed to this second hand smoke. I do not think it is fair to let the smokers put other people's lives in jeopardy, why do I have to go somewhere else to have a good time? Make the people who are filling our air with poison go somewhere else. I can only image what it would be like to be able to breathe in a bar, what it would be like to have my eyes not dried out, to be able to wash my hair only once instead of 3 times to get that smoke smell out. If smoking was banned from the Iowa City bars it would provide a healthier environment for students and workers, encourage others to quit smoking, and make the downtown area a more enjoyable place to be at night. Thank you for your time for reading this and I hope you can take this into deeper consideration.

To Whom This May Concern: My name is Michael Hermsen, and I am a senior at the University of Iowa. I am writing this letter to address a problem affecting many residents ofIowa City, and frequenters of its downtown. This problem is concerning the lack of a smoking ordinance in Iowa City, largely affecting the local restaurants and bars. Many of the patrons of such establishments identify themselves as non-smokers, and yet are forced to endure mass amounts of secondhand smoke, and the amount of smoke that clouds the restaurants and bars can often become extremely out-of-control. I believe that a smoking ordinance should be approved in Iowa City, as it will greatly benefit the non-smoking patrons of Iowa City establishments, and only inconvenience smokers minimally. In passing a smoking ordinance, the health of non-smoking Iowa City residents will no longer be affected negatively by secondhand smoke, and those that do not partake in cigarette smoking do not deserve to have their health jeopardized while simply enjoying a visit to a downtown restaurant or bar. The health ofIowa City is not the only issue at hand. Forced secondhand smoke inhalation greatly hinders the enjoyment of many patrons, as the constant breathing of smoke can be quite irritating to many. I believe that it would greatly advantage the health and happiness of many Iowa City citizens to enforce a smoking ordinance within the restaurants and bars. I sincerely hope that you will strongly consider acting upon this important issue, and that you will contact me with any developments that have been or will be made toward this cause. Thank you for your time and deliberation.

Dear City Council, I am a student at the University of Iowa, and a bartender in Iowa City. I have been hearing that there is talk about a law being passed that no one will be able to smoke in any bar or restaurant in the Iowa City area. I know that it has been being talked about for a while now, but I hear that now it may actually go through. I don't agree with this at all. As a smoker I feel that it is my right to be able to smoke inside some facilities in town. There are plenty of places for non-smokers to go in town. There are many restaurants and bars. I know that the bar that I work at there is no smoking in one section, and when dinner is going on there is no smoking at all. So my question is why these non-smokers can't go to one of these places? If this law is passed smokers won't be able to smoke anywhere. I don't think that is very fair, considering non-smokers do have the option to go somewhere that is smoke free. They have the option to not smoke and be in a non-smoking section, then why can't the smokers have the choice to be in a smoking section? Iowa City is known as a college party town, and that is where the city makes most of there money, but the majority of people smoke or at least smoke when they drink. The bars and restaurants being the main attraction to this town will loose a lot of business due to people not being able to do something that they want to do. I know myself and many of others that won't go out in this town. We will find a new town that we can go out in and do what we want. I hope that you all will reevaluate your decision that you will be making, and take into consideration how mad so many people really will be. Also think about the money that will be lost due to something that isn't really that important because the non-smokers can go elsewhere.

II: ;:,ll Ci, "-,,./, to' '_,'\'~r\ !(-...\!,.i 1\..,,)\-\ Dear Council Members, I am a native Iowan, a third year student at the University of Iowa, an employee of a locally owned bar and restaurant in Iowa City, and a non-smoker. I have been involved in the bar and restaurant industry for about five years now. I have worked in both smoking and non-smoking environments. From personal experience, working conditions are 100% superior in non smoking environments. Not only do the long-term health effects, such as cancer caused by second-hand smoke, need to be considered, but the immediate effects of smoking environments need to be kept in mind. It is all too common to have irritated eyes, a sore throat in the morning, a slight cough, and cigarette burns from cigarettes even though I do not smoke. I have asked my boss and owner, I am employed under, about making the establishment non-smoking. His reasoning for not doing so is that other places that have tried have ended up doing poorly and closing. With that being said, it should not be an option for a bar or restaurant to be non-smoking--it should be the law either citywide or statewide. This way, all owners will be on even grounds, and will not have to worry about the unprecedented consequences of banning smoking. I understand that cigarettes make the state money, but the health costs should undermine that fact. The unpleasant conditions for non smokers and the health risks, for smokers and non smokers, at smoking bar and restaurants needs to be put on the "front burner" until there are positive changes made. Thank you all for your time. I am aware that statistics and facts would validate this letter; however, I wanted to write this from my heart, personal experience, and as in insider. I appreciate everything you have done for Iowa City and I trust that you will continue to make this a better place to live each day. Sincerely, 1J1Wl~ Edan Lisk Dear Mr. Wilburn, The issue of smoking in bars and restaurants around the Iowa City area has most defiantly been an upraising issue in the last few years. I believe that a ban of smoking in bars as well as restaurants will help with the cleanliness of the facilities, as well as the health issues of the people who work in these facilities and the costumers. This I think is a good proposal not only for the safety of customers, but also to those who work day in and day out in these places. The protection of workers in particular from heart disease, cancer and respiratory illnesses as well as other chronic and acute diseases caused by the exposure to second-hand smoke is important to the decrease of problems later in their life. Laws implementing bans on indoor smoking have been more common with in towns and cities all across the United States, especially in the last few years. Scientific evidence has shown that tobacco smoking is often harmful for the smokers themselves, as well as to those who are readily around them. Bans on smoking in bars and restaurants can substantially improve the air quality in such establishments, intern this may help for more business to those people who refuse to go into a smoke filled environment. These people being those that already have health problems such as asthma that can not deal with the smoke to begin with. The pros about banning smoking within an interior space are the following: reduced risk of fire, cleanliness of places, decreased legal liability, potentially reduced energy (use ofless ventilation needs), and reduced quantities oflitter. I believe that these concerns should be taken into consideration and hopefully enforced within the next year.

In a my class, Perspectives of Leisure and Play, we were told to write to someone who could do some change. This sparked my interests and I came up with an idea right away. I feel smoking in restaurants is hazardous to the customers' health and something needs to be done. Yes, there are specific areas for smokers and non-smokers, but the smoke still cares throughout the restaurants. I feel smoking in restaurants should be banned, but if this is too far out of reach, then I'll settle for an alternative source of action. As of right now, being in a smoky bar for only two hours is the same as smoking four cigarettes. I like to be in public places, such as restaurants and I do not want to be subjected to second hand smoke. Since Iowa City is a college atmosphere, we should set a good example and truly promote good health. Another statistic is, cigarette smoke contains 63 chemical compounds known to cause cancer. Sixty- three chemicals and people who choose not to smoke are subject to those. I purpose that smoking should be banned in restaurants, here in Iowa City. All the statistics show that smoking is causing an enormous amount of issues with the human body. Action needs to taken and soon. Thanks for your time and hopefully a solution can be resolved. ,r, ~.-, ""__,-.J 1~.';' ,:::;> :;''':;:J ~ --Tl ("...) <=> Sincerely, Keeley Reynolds -0 T" : j l N )> C.J W ~~:W~ Wu cWtlJ:.4- 5Ul1l. ,........ , i._Ii 1 -2 II: S3 Justin Zinnel 409 S.Dodge Iowa City, IA 52240 Mayor Ross Wilburn 410 E. Washington St. Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Mr. Wilburn, I am currently enrolled at the University of Iowa and would like to bring to your attention the effect of second hand smoke in public bars in Iowa City. On behalf of my friends, relatives, and others who do not smoke, I wonder what the benefits are by allowing people to smoke in bars. It has been proven by many health administrators and brought up in many publications that second hand smoke from cigarettes is very unhealthy and should be avoided if at all possible. Now I'm sure someone could respond with the obvious response of, "Don't go to the bars, where you're surrounded by the smoke." However, I do not feel that this is a valid argument. I think that I, college students and everyone else in the community should have the ability to go to the bar without inhaling something that is hurting our bodies. I feel it would be most necessary for smokers to smoke outside where there is less of a chance that innocent people are suffering from the choices that other individuals (smokers) make. It would not in any way hurt them to stand outside and would only help the people who are overwhelmed by the smoke. I have recently spoken with several different people who live in different areas of the United States that have seen the results of smoking bans. They say it is more enjoyable and gives them a feeling of comfort because they are not constantly breathing in second hand smoke. After reading my letter I hope that banning smoking in bars is something that you will seriously consider doing. Once again, I feel that there will only be positive outcomes after introducing the ban and it would make the world a healthier place. I'd just like to thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I hope it has given you a different view of what me and many other college students feel. Sincerely, ~p Justin Zinnel '1 ~ (s) Kieron Coffield - ~ , \:;:::. ~~ _-1 . \ \ ~ Perpsectives on Leisure and Play -- C"I ," March 30, 2006 .....-:"" j -- ::-? -j/ C'" s; A Civic Change One thing that I feel strongly about is smoking in public restaurants and places. Many cities, like Boston, have banned all smoking from their restaurants and even their night clubs. People who choose to smoke have to go outside to do so. This eliminates the risk of bystanders who have chosen not to smoke. These bystanders would have otherwise been subjected to second-hand smoke, which has also been known to contribute to lung cancer and other cancers. The smokers are limited to their private homes or outside, where those who do not wish to be around smoke can easily walk away. If bigger cities, like Boston, can enforce this law without much backlash, then I believe Iowa City should have no problem. One way to put this idea in action would be to go to the city council with a petition. This would show the council members that enough Iowa City residents care about smoking in our public restaurants, bars, and other places. If this smoking ban is enforce in Iowa City, some residents might be displeased, but I think the majority would agree. Since the smokers are banned from where they can smoke, this may encourage more people to quit. If they quit smoking they are not limited to where they can be. This ban would make the city cleaner for everyone. bL~X CocJlt1ci\ A!ltwlWs/ 5c)('J~ ,'s ~Vr LS~~ I wrott. for OI-tL o-f M~ cJasSLS c;w-..rtv.- VVl; v'.u-si~ . of rOWe). (~cru .M1Jo~ l't.

Mayor Wilburn, Thank you for your quick response and support of the smoking ban-it truly is needed. Either earlier this year or last year when the issue was presented by Senator Matt McCoy. and Representative Janet Petersen I emailed them to thank them for bringing the issue to the table again- after what happened a few years ago I thought the State may never look into the health concerns of smoking in public spaces. And then earlier this year when the bill was in the House and Senate I emailed Senator Joe Bolkcom and Representative Vicki Lensing to urge them to pass a state wide ban, and never received a response back from them. Thank you for your advice, I will pass your information on to my friends locally and state wide and encourage them to talk with their legislators about passing the smoking ban.

Dear Ms. Wombacher, Thank you for expressing your interest in a local smoking ban. I have always been supportive of a smoking ban, which is why I was one of a small majority of Iowa City Council members to pass one a few years ago. It has been encouraging to see other places adopting smoking bans like in Washington DC and the other places that you mentioned. Unfortunately, we had to repeal our ban a few years ago, because the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that Iowa Cities do not have the authority to enact such legislation or more specifically, to enact smoking legislation that is more restricilve than state law. 4/12/2007 Page 2 of2 One thing that wasn't clear in the article is that unless the Iowa Legislature passes a bill and the Governor signs a law giving cities and counties the authority to have local control over this issue, we cannot pass a legal smoking ban. The court already has ruled that we do not have the authority. I received word that the Iowa Senate File giving cities the authority didn't make it past the deadline to be considered further in this legislative session. I don't know the status of the the Iowa House version (which included many exemptions I believe). I keep receiving letters from the public asking us to pass a smoking ban, which has been great to have the interest, but somehow people continue to be unaware that the state must authorize us to be able to do so It would be helpful if you could pass this fact along to friends of yours locally and elsewhere in the state, so that they can try to pursuade their legislators to give municipalities local control in this important preventative health care matter. Ross Wilburn Mayor City of Iowa City From: Bridget Wombacher Sent: Thu 4/12/2007 8:32 AM To: Ross Wilburn Subject: Smoking ban-please pass it! Mayor Wilburn, After reading today' s article in the Press Citizen, I am glad to learn Iowa City is strongly considering a smoking ban in public places-it is something our city needs. As an Iowa City native, University of Iowa graduate, and now working professional in Iowa City, I do not like to go out at night because I end up breathing in unhealthy cigarette smoke and/or my clothes absorb the awful smell. I believe if California, NY, Austin, and Minneapolis can successfully pass this pan, a smaller metro area like Iowa City should be fine. Thank you again for your service to our great city! Regards, Bridget Wombacher 4/12/2007 D:J Dear City ofIowa City City Council, I right on behalf of all the people of this city who have been wronged by the marauding deathtrap known as Geese. The geese I speak of are located near the Iowa Memorial Union just along the riverside. This gaggle of three geese has caused great discomfort and mental stress to many college students just looking to relax along the riverside and read, or enjoy an overpriced meal. They are some of the most headstrong and stubborn animals I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. When they first showed up I thought they may be a welcome addition to an already pleasant environment, that is until I actually got within thirty feet of the animals and they let out an ear piercing cackle that I still wake up to in a cold sweat. I have seen extreme instances of students eating in the grass only to have a goose come up and eat the food straight off of their plate, or intimidating someone into just throwing a portion of their food to the sidejustto get a few moments of relief as they fight over the chunkIette offood like a pack of wolves at a fresh kill. What I have here is a modest proposal. I would like to see the geese removed as soon as possible. We need to form some sort of ragtag group of mercenaries, possibly ex-cons, to assemble and take the necessary actions to remove these geese and restore peace and order to the University of Iowa campus. What are the necessary actions? Traps. And lOts of them. I think if we got from one-hundred to five-hundred bear traps we would be able to quell their numbers drastically. Well now I am sure you are saying "Well what lj.bout all of the ducks?" The ducks will take a heavy loss, as they will probably succumb to the traps much faster than the geese due to their lower level of intelligence and their awkward height makes them prime subjects for a bear trap related decapitation, As long as we can set aside at least one breeding pair we should be able to repopulate the ducks within the next fifteen to thirty years. I hellf a lot of pessimists saying, "Well why don't we just take these geese to a farm or something? Do we really need to kill them?" The answer of course ,is yes, we do have to kill them. lndoing my research on the topic I found out that unforturiately for us, the Goose is not one of the few flightless and therefore useless birds. They clln in fact, fly great distlj.nces. We cannot take the chance that they would fly back to theIMU riverside using their superior sense of smell and eagle-like vision. I knoW this is a lot of information to take in and mull over, but I believe that if we stay tAe co~ we can get this job done. I have seen too many children terrorized and too many hard working college students deprived of their much needed coffee and muffins to see this despicable situation go on for another season.

This e-mail will detail the format concerning the forum in order that you can better prepare for the discussion. Logistics: 1. Date - Saturday, April 14, 2007 the National Day of Climate Change 2. Time - 4:00 PM (please arrive 15 minutes early so we can discuss any changes to the program) 3. Location - Lucas Dodge (256) room of the University of Iowa Memorial Union Participants: 1. Moderator: or Professor David Osterberg 2. Panelists: -UI Phd. Candidate in Climatology Sunday Goshit -Muscatine State Representative Nathan Reichert -Johnson County Board of Supervisors Representative Terrence Neuzil -Iowa City Mayor Ross Wilburn Format: After the opening remarks from Professor David Osterberg, Mr. Goshit will introduce the subject with a 15 to 20 minute synopsis of the current state of global climate change and the consequences associated with these changes. Following Mr. Goshit, each representative will be given 7 to 10 minutes to discuss current policy related to climate change at their level of government. The order of speakers will begin with Representative Reichert, followed by Representative Neuzil and culminating with Mayor Wilburn. To conclude the event, Professor Osterberg will moderate a question and answer period consisting of questions generated by the audience. A central goal of this forum is of course to educate the public concerning climate change, but additionally we are determined to also educate the public regarding ways in which they can affect policy change at the different levels of government. One way in which to accomplish this objective is for each of you to address a few specific measures that citizens can take as part of your individual presentations. Additionally, we will be providing a "Policy Action" packet to each of the attendees which they can use as a point of reference following the forum. The packet will include such things as the contact information of area environmental groups and a helpful hints section concerning additional ways citizens can have an impact specifically on policy. Any input you have in regards to what should be included in this packet, and the helpful hints section in particular, would be extremely beneficial, as you are the experts in the process of passing governmental policies. In addition to the forum, you are also invited to the signing of the Cool Cities Act by Mayor Wilburn. The event is tentatively scheduled to begin just prior to the forum at 3:30 PM on the west steps of the Old Capitol. Many members of Iowa UNA will be in attendance, so if you do attend the signing event you can join us as we progress to the IMU at the events conclusion. Please inform me of any questions you might have, and also any suggestions with relation to the "Policy Action" packet. Once again, thank you for your participation and we look forward to seeing you at the forum.

Iowa City is a town that is unique in nature because of the university of Iowa being here. Over my time in Iowa City I have been concerned with the amount of trash blowing around our streets. I understand that it is difficult and expensive to recover all of the trash; however, in parts of town like the Ralston Creek on South Gilberts Street there are consistently large quantities of trash. A lot of visitors come to Iowa City each year, parents bringing their children to school and alumni returning to their old school. By keeping Iowa City clean more people will leave thinking Iowa City is a beautiful city rather than just thinking it as a city that thousands of drunken college kids roam. The trash around town makes the town look bad and is very depressing so please do something to keep our city beautiful.

(.-) GmD 1665 Teg Drive Iowa City, IA, 52246 March 30th, 2007 Dear Mayor Wilburn, On February 21, you sent a letter in reference to our petition to allow competition -style waterskiing at the city's newly-acquired Sand Road Pond. In that letter, You informed us of the city's desire to create a "passive, non-motorized boating environment." It is our wish that we be allowed to further discuss this matter with the council In the spirit of compromise, we are open to shared usage arrangements, which could be beneficial to skiers and to those whose interests are for "passive"usage. These two activities are not mutually exclusive. We respectfully submit 50 additional signature~ of support, bringing the petition's signature total to well over 100. For three reasons, we feel that this matter deserves to be discussed at a council meeting. First, as mentioned earlier, there is some community support for water skiing at Sand Road, as evidenced by our petition signatures. Second, the community need for a small pond with a "passive, non-motorized boating environment" are already well served by the nearby Lake Macbride and Kent Park. Local recreation facilities should strive to provide a diverse field of activities for the communities they serve. A "passive, non-motorized boating environment" will only provide more of what already exists in the community. Third, our preliminary research and expertise with ski site layouts has shown that enough space exists in the pond to allow water skiing, and other forms of passive recreation, even concurrently. In our petition, we have provided examples of how shared agreements are already in place in other areas of the country. For these and other reasons, we wish to appear before the Iowa City council to present our case. We ask that you, the council, not casually dismiss our petition, and refrain from a final decision on this matter until our case may be presented in person among all interested parties. r~ '::=! ::~-:': t-:, (~;,F ''::';;;:'' -... .

I love the campus, and its beauty convinced me to attend school here. I have one complaint, though, which has bothered me in my time here. During the every winter there are always snowstorms (as to be expected). Inches of snow and ice cover the ground as in any midwestern town. Yet, it is the city's response that scares me. Every snowstorm, the inner streets of the city are not plowed for days. Cars drive through the tread marks created by the car before it, making the streets a labyrinth of tire marks. Disgusting piles of black sludge accumulate on the curbs from oil mixing with the snow that should have been plowed already. I see campus busses trying to travel up the hills, but failing due to the immense amount of ice. And to make things worse, the sidewalks are just as bad. It takes days for workers to finally clear paths. This makes walking almost twice as long and tedious for the students here. Class sizes dwindle because it is almost not worth going to class with the conditions. Also, the ice accumulation on steps and hills is horrific. Every year I've seen people slipping and falling on hills and steps. I have done so twice in the last two years. One time resulting in a IO-inch oval bruise on my ass. Even though this problem is dangerous, I believe there is an easy solution. The city needs more snowplows and more snow clearing personnel. These extra personnel could be just people on call during winter times, or local private snowplow owners. Anything that yields a quicker snow removal would help this city a ton. This will allow the city to operate safer and more efficiently in the winter months. Thank you for your time, and I hope you do give my suggestions some thought.

("'~l I I' . , l-.'..___, Dear Sir or Madam, Hello, my name is Mike Divita and I am a student at the University of Iowa. This is my first year here and there have been many new experiences for me. Some of these experiences have been good, while others have been poor. Today I am writing this letter to you to bring to your attention a problem that I encountered several times this year. Like I said, this has been my first time living in Iowa City so a lot of things were new to me. One particular thing that stood out to me was the way that the city handles the snow on the ground the days following snow storms. I wasn't overly impressed with the way that that the snow was dealt with. I was surprised to see how poor of a job the city did in reacting to the amounts of snow on the streets as well as the sidewalks. Almost every time it snowed it was be a day or two before anything was done about the snow on the ground. Students would have to walk through several inches of snow to get from place to place. Depending on how far the walk is that can be a fairly big problem. Often times my shoes and socks would be soaking wet all day in classes because of the huge amounts of snow I had to walk through every day. I also noticed that many cars and other vehicles had a lot of trouble getting up hills that should have been cleared off at some point earlier. Besides the clear and obvious inconvenience of this, it is also dangerous to be out in those types of conditions. To be honest, I can see how the first snow storm would maybe take the city off guard, but it happened so frequently that the problem was just too evident to ignore. Ijust want to let you know that it seems like this problem could easily be solved with just a little more weather awareness and preparation. If there is any way that something could be done to help turn this issue around that would be very much appreciated by many Iowa City residents. It would create a more safe and productive community during the winter months when snow is a big issue for many people in the city. Sincerely, Mike Divita .::r if.} ~ :?

The last message I sent was responded to by someone not on the council with no mention that anyone on the council had requested they reply. I don't have any problem with making my communication a matter of public record - but to be honest I sent an email on Thursday April 5th - that gave details on where and when I was at a particular location. And the officer involved. On Friday April 6th I was at the same location at close to the same time - and a police officer who was parked (just like on the Thursday) pulled away and looked right at me. I was really taken by surprise by the officer on Friday. In all honesty - giving everyone the benefit of the doubt and the officer did not think I had complained - it was not a good experience. It was actually rather chilling. Considering what I have read in the papers about police officer behavior towards pedestrians and cyclist as of late - my concern does not seem paranoid. Or again, at the very least, does not seem like behavior an Iowa City Police Department employee on duty should be expressing towards someone waiting at a crosswalk for the walk signal.

A characterization is a tool used in fiction or drama. So your choice of this word makes me worry you are not taking me seriously, but think I am writing a piece of fiction. Reading my email again I acknowledge that I said the police were ignoring an event - and it is true I have no way of knowing that for a fact. I did not talk to the officers involved. I should have been more clear - I have witnessed police officers look directly at a car in a crosswalk and do nothing as I walked around the car. Is that what you considered a characterization? Or did you consider statements which I made very clear were my observations characterizations? But here is what concerns me most. I sent this email to the Iowa City Council. I welcome your reply.

Whether lights are green, red or yellow. If you doubt this try using the pedestrian crosswalks at Linn and Jefferson.

This is not the first time I have seen police officers do this. I have no problem with expecting pedestrians and cyclist to obey traffic laws. But I think the question needs to be raised - are we holding vehicle drivers to the same standards? My observation is no. The Iowa City Police Department continues to ignore drivers who don't yield in crosswalks or block crosswalks. They continue to ignore vehicle drivers who cut off cyclists. I think a mandate for the Iowa City Council to the Iowa City Police Department requiring the department to monitor and ticket drivers who are not stopping at crosswalks, who are blocking crosswalks when stopped at an intersection etc. is required. It is frustrating to see police cars downtown with the intent to ticket pedestrians and cyclists - but to never see a police car at the intersection of Linn and Jefferson streets with the intent to ticket cars not yielding to pedestrians. I suggest a field trip to that intersection - to see what a huge problem cars not stopping at crosswalks is.

Iowa City Council Members 410 East Washington Street Iowa City, IA 52240 i - .' )7 C0 - Dear Council Members: I am currently a sophomore here at the University of Iowa and exactly two years ago I was a senior in high school and I was on the brink of making one of the most important decisions of my life. I was trying to decide what college I was going to attend. I applied to probably 15 different schools; small, big, in-state, and out-of-state. After much consideration, my parents and I decided that it would be best for me to go out-of -state to the University ofIowa. We had never heard anything bad about the University, the campus was gorgeous, the people were nice, and it was safe. Coming from Naperville, a large suburb of Chicago, I already knew a ton of people that went here and everyone loved it! I couldn't have been more excited. After the first day of being a freshman at Iowa, I was positive I had made the right decision by coming here. I did Hawkeye Hometown visits to pass on the word that Iowa was awesome and raved to all of my friends from home that Iowa was definitely the place to be. My little sister graduated from high school last year and her and almost 40 of her fellow classmates are freshman here at the University of Iowa this year. After almost 2 years ofliving in Iowa City and going to the University, I am no longer as enthusiastic about Iowa as I once was. I've gotten a little older and a little wiser and unfortunately had a life experience that I would rather forget. September 30th was one of the biggest football Saturdays in years. It was the game against Ohio State and everywhere I went all I heard about was how Game Day was coming! After a long day of celebrating the anticipation of the game and then grieving over our defeat this city was a mad house. My friends wanted to continue partying but I was beat. I decided to rest at one of my guy friend's house and meet up with my girlfriends when they were done. So when my friends were ready to go home and go to bed they called me and told me to come back over. At this point I was 100% sober. I consider myself a very cautious person, but I am also very independent. My guy friend offered to walk me to their apartment building but I said I was fine. I thought it was silly, it was only 4 buildings away, a 60 second walk, I didn't even have to cross the street. As I walked out of his house I called my friend and told her I was just leaving. It was late at night but there were still tons of people on the street. My sorority had just held an educational on self-defense, so I knew to be very aware of my surroundings. At some point in this 60 second walk I felt someone walking behind me, they were walking a little too close for comfort but I just figured they were drunk and weren't aware of the polite personal space distance you usually give when walking behind someone. As I walked up the stairs to the apartment building I heard the footsteps follow me. As I opened the door to the apartment building I looked back to who was behind me... he looked like any other average college kid that could have lived in this building, and he wasn't even looking at me. He was looking down the street; I thought he wasn't even paying attention to me. So I went into the building and began jogging up the stairs and before I knew it he had rushed up behind me. My attacker pulled up my skirt and before he could he much farther I was able to turn around. I couldn't run because we were on the stairs. Now I realize he was looking down the street to see if anyone saw him follow me. I've always been told that your voice is your most powerful weapon... so I screamed. I screamed and screamed and I could hear my friends yelling back at me from 3 floors up, everything just happened so fast. Luckily I was able to fight him off until he ran away. I filed a police report, but of course there were no leads. I know that I am one of numerous girls that were attacked last fall. I know I am just a statistic on the front page ofthe Daily Iowan. I know that even though all of these attacks happened the City ofIowa City has not done anything to make me feel safer. The weather got cold and the attacks seemed to stop, but now the weather is getting warmer again and people will be walking outside more. Obviously walking outside by myself at night was not a wise decision. Every girl I've told my story to has said what scares them the most is that they would have done the same thing, it was not even a block away. I thank God that I was sober and aware of my surroundings and able to fight him off quickly. I couldn't imagine what would have happened ifhe had attacked a girl that was out of her mind drunk. There was no way she could have gotten away from him. I feel that there are so many things that the city could do to make girls feel safer in this community. A late night public transportation system would be great. Once night comes I feel trapped in my house. There is a free shuttle that runs by my house during the day... why can't that continue on into the night? Because girls in my sorority house have been feeling so unsafe we designed a driving system to carpool and pick girls up late at night, but what about the thousands of other girls that live in this town and don't have that kind of support? More street lights would be great too. I walk straight down College St. to get to my house and I can barely see 2 feet in front of me the street lighting is so bad. More officers around town would make a huge difference. I walk home in groups with my friends and I rarely see a police car drive by. I know none of these ideas are original, but they are all do-able. I know buses, street lights, and extra officers all cost money but can you really put a price on citizen's safety? Many other communities have taken actions to make their cities safer and I think it would be great ifIowa City could try to do that too. So that's my story, you think it can never happen to you, but it happened to me. Now when people ask me about the University ofIowa, I can rave about a lot of things, but I can no longer say that I feel safe. And if you don't have your safety then what do you have? Attacks like the ones here don't happen in all other cities and college towns because they have implemented safe rds to prevent m and would love to see Iowa City move more in that d~tion. i-~ <~ -...... - ~"j I (Jl Colleen Paulson .... - - <~.~- /"', ~: .?

The Housing Fellowship has been awarded a reservation of Low Income Housing Tax Credits for the preservation of 14 affordable rental homes. The support from the Council and City staff and the General Obligation Bond were instrumental in the award. As required by the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program, the homes will be sold to Berry Court Limited Partnership. The tax credit will generate $1,184,610 of equity investment into the project and into our community. As you know, the 14 duplex and single family homes will be significantly rehabilitated. Transferring the homes into the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program will result in the homes being placed back onto the property tax rolls and rents will be reduced. Staff from The Housing Fellowship will attend compliance management certification training this spring. This certification will further increase our capacity as a developer and manager. The Housing Fellowship has also received an award of $139,996 of State of Iowa HOME and American Dream Downpayment Initiative funds for affordable owner-occupied housing. The funds will be used for first-time; income targeted home buyers as down payment and closing cost assistance and mortgage buy-down for four of our Community Land Trust homes. With these awards, The Housing Fellowship continues its innovative approach to addressing the affordable housing needs in our area. The support we have received from the City of Iowa City is invaluable and very much appreciated.

The two problems that I discussed with Anissa earlier were the fact that "normal right of way rules" are not applied by motorists despite the DOT driver's manual and the inconsistency of control, at least in the Walden area, just causes confusion. Would you mind sending me a copy of the specific guidelines for the use of stop and yield signs at intersections of minor streets that you mention below. Could you also send me the statistics on the accident rate for uncontrolled intersections vs. control intersections and their estimated traffic volume. I am interested in seeing what is being considered a significant safety issue, particularly for bikers and pedestrians. Thanks again for the information and look forward to hearing from you.

By Mark Weiner, staff writer The Post-Standard Monday, February 06, 2006 A new effort to turn Syracuse into a green city is starting to pay big dividends, saving the city almost $1 million per year through environmentally friendly practices, city officials say. Those savings are expected to grow as Syracuse moves forward with a seven- year program spelled out in an international accord Mayor Matt Driscoll signed in November. Syracuse is among 84 cities worldwide to sign the Urban Environmental Accords, a set of environmental guidelines for the world's cities endorsed by the United Nations. By signing, Driscoll committed the city to completing 21 specific actions in seven areas by 2012. So far, the city has started or completed 12 of the 21 actions to become greener, said Paul Thompson, Syracuse's energy coordinator. The improvements have come at a cost: The city has committed nearly $2 million to the projects. But Thompson said savings and rebates will quickly add up to more than offset the expenses. At least $537,000 of the project costs have already been returned to the city through a state energy-saving program. Syracuse recently finished installing energy-saving equipment and new insulated windows in City Hall. The city now buys all of the energy for the historic building from alternative sources such as hydro and wind power. "This is our way to do what we can on a local level," Thompson said. "The accord is a great format to be able to force people to formalize and quantify what they're doing in a lot of different environmental areas. II The energy-saving projects that are now under construction or completed include a $543,000 project to instaU a new computer- controlled energy management system and water-cooled chiller in City Hall. The Carrier Corp. chiller replaced two cooling units from 1978. When complete this spring, the move is expected to save the city 15 to 20 percent on its cooling bill in the warm-weather months, Thompson said. A new energy management system installed at City Hall will eventually reduce energy costs by up to 15 percent at about a half-dozen city properties. The other properties are City Hall Commons, the Department of Public Works headquarters and garages, and ice rinks at Clinton Square, Sunnycrest Park, Burnet Park and Meachem Field. IIThis aUows us to tie aU of these systems together so we can reaIJy monitor the city's energy use,lt Thompson said. A $155,000 project to replace all of the windows in City Hall. The new double-paned, insulated windows contain argon, a colorless, odorless gas that reduces heat loss. A $1.2 million project to make traffic lights more energy-efficient. The city replaced traditional bulbs with 10,057 light-emitting-diode, or LED lights at 354 intersections. The new, brighter lights are safer for motorists and pedestrians, and reduced energy costs by about 90 percent. The project, which started in 2003, saves the city about $223,762 a year in energy and labor costs, Thompson said. The city received help paying for the conversion. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority paid $537,240 toward the project. When all of the energy work is done, the energy management system will save Syracuse more than $750,000 a year. And the improvements at City Hall will save $300,000 to $350,000 a year. "And that's conservative," Thompson said. "Most oflhis will keep on going year after year." Under terms of the Urban Environmental Accords, cities are asked to implement three actions a year to achieve long-term sustainabiIity. The United Nations says the idea of the accords is to tackle environmental issues that all cities have in common providing energy, water, transportation, recycling, parks, trees and clean air for their residents. As an added benefit, the effort may raise S)Tacuse's profile nationally as a progressive conununity. Parin Shah, director of Generation Earth, a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization that partnered with the U.N. to help implement the accords, said word quickly spreads globally of cities and their innovative environmental practices. IIIt is perceived that Syracuse is a better place to live and is sort of at the cutting edge," Shah said. He said the accords also offer a networking advantage for city leaders, who gather each year for regional and international conferences. About 600 mayors from around the world will meet in Cape Town, South Africa, at the end of this month to discuss their greening efforts. Of the 84 cities participating in the Urban Environmental Accords, S)TaCllSe is among four in New York state. The others are Mount Vernon, New Paltz and Rochester. Copyright 2006 syracuse.com.
