MEMORANDUM
Date: October 9, 1981
To: City Council and City Manager
From: Rosemary Vitosh, Directar of Finance f�v
Re: Marcia Kae Roggow Industrial Development Revenue Bonds
Staff review of the application for this bond issue has verified that the
project complies with all legal and City requirements such as meeting IRS
guidelines for tax-exempt status, environmental factors and community
service factors. The financial review of the project revealed no problem
areas. Building pians have been reviewed and approved for issuance of a
building permit.
The application form submitted by Ms. Roggow does not indicate that she
had applied for conventional financing, but that several Savings and Loans
have recommended that she use the IRB program rather than conventional
financing for this project. The reason stated on the application for
aPP�Y��9 for IRB's reads "By using the IRB financing as opposed to the
conventional financing I will be able to construct three apartments on the
second level of the building that I would not have been able to finance
otherwise. I also wi11 be able to do considerable landscaping and keep
some parking available instead of taking up the whole lot with buildings
in order to increase income needed to pay on a higher interest mortgage."
Staff recommends that the Council proceed with the issuance of the bonds.

6. Announced that the Circulation Department is making headway. Book
trucks have been borrowed and additional temporary hours have been
added to help keep up with the pace and catch up the backlog.
7. Discussed the preliminary goals for the FY1983 budget. The first
round of requests from the various departments in t�ie library
indicates the need for two additional full time staff persons to keep
up with the work load. These two persons would actually be the staff
that we lost during FY1981. '
8. Noted that we now have a total of 72 volunteers on the current
roster. While volunteers do help greatly, it also takes a great deal
of staff time to recruit, train and supervise them.
9. Discussed the need for more air conditioning in the Community
Programming Production Studio operated by Hawkeye CableVision in the
library. The Baard reviewed the lease and determined that it appears
to be Hawkeye's responsibility to furnish additional air
conditioning. The Board will send a letter to Hawkeye stating this
position.
The President reported on the following:
1. Welcomed Ann Bagford, FRIENDS liaison to the Library Board.
2. Recommended that Linda Gritsch, Secretary of the Board, serve as the
chairperson for the policy and planning committee and acting Vice

Waterloo, October 7, 8, and 9. Bartley and Zastrow will attend as
Board representatives.

substance of this policy was approved in August and only two minor
revisions were made. Immermann/Gritsch.

The Board approved the amendment concerning method of payment to the lease
between the Library Board and Hawkeye CableVision. Informal approval had
been given at the August meeting. Lyman/Immermann.
The Board considered a request for $500 from Gifts and Bequests Fund to
allow for the printing of a brochure for the grand opening activities in
November. Since the brochure was unbudgeted, the Board approved the
request. Bartley/Drum.
Follawing a discussion, the Board recommended that the top priority for
the FY1983 budget goal should be the reinstatement of the 2 staff persons
that we lost in FY1981. These two persons are needed just to maintain our
current service level. The Board also requested a proposal from library
staff concerning what additional costs would be incurred to reinstate
Sunday hours.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:50 P.M.
- The next Library Board of Trustees Regular Meeting will be on Thursday,
October 22, 1981, at 4:00 P.M., in the Administrative Conference Room on
i the second floor of the library.
NOTE: Herb Lyman and Carolyn Cavitt will both be unable to attend this

STAFF PRESENT: Boothroy, Behrman, Milkman, Woito
FORMAL ACTION TAKEN:
V-8114. The application submitted by K. M. Sheker for a variance to Section
8.10.35.6A and B to erect on-premises facia signs for identification and
advertising in the R3 zone was approved with specific conditions as follows:
the signs should not exceed 91 sq. ft. in total area, with no more than 60 sq.
ft. on the north side and 39 sq. ft. on the west side, the signs to be internally
illuminated only during the hours of operation of the business conducted on the
premises.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
Harris called the meeting to order. Boothroy called the roll. Harris outlined
the procedure followed by the Board of Adjustment.
VARIANCE ITEMS:
V-8114. Public hearing on an application submitted by K. M. Sheker for a
variance to Section 8.10.35.6A and B to erect on-premises facia signs for
identification in advertising in an R3 zone.
Milkman described the zaning history of the propert,y located at the corner of N.
Dodge and Davenport Street. Milkman stated that the property was a non-
conforming use that had been there for a number of years. Total signage faotage
from previous leases (Hawkeye Dairy Store) was 91 square feet. The applicant
was requesting signs for the north and west face of the building; three panels
of 4'x10' for a total of 120 square feet (2 panels to be erected on the north
side and one on the west side). Milkman explained that while the signage is not
permitted in an R3 zone, it was the opinion of the City Attorney's office that if
a non-conforming use was permitted, then signs could be permitted. Milkman
compared this property to a similar type of property in a C1 zone, stating that
in this zone only a total of 99 square feet of signage would be permitted.
Milkman stated the previous sign was spotlight illuminated; the applicant was
requesting an internally illuminated sign. The staff's recommendation was to
grant a variance that limited the total square footage of signage to no more
than 99 square feet and preferably to 90 square feet.
Harris asked if there was anyone who wished to speak on this item.
Kermit Sheker, 239 Highland Drive, pharmacist/operator of the property, spoke in
favor of granting the variance, stating he had taken the standard of

commercially available signs and applied it to the bui]ding. Sheker stated that
the internally illuminated sign was aesthetically pleasing and would be on only
during business hours.' Sheker stated that to replace the signage at this point
would be a hardship.
Bartels asked if Sheker had investigated obtaining similar signs in smaller
sizes. Sheker said that a 3'x8' version of the sign was available in a slightly
different style.
The members discussed the coloring of the sign. Vanderhoef wondered if Sheker
picked that size sign to cover defects in the building structure. Sheker said
no. The members discussed the possibility of alternative sizes and Bartels
asked the price of the present system. Sheker answered that this signage system
was $1,000 while the 3'x8' size would be $750. Vanderhoef asked if there would
be a loss of impact on potential customers if the signs were smaller. Sheker
felt there would be and outlined the rental history of the property.
Ola Fincke, 402 N. Dodge, spoke against the application, protesting the erection
of an internally illuminated sign as it was aesthetically displeasing. Fincke
questioned the need for a pharmacy/grocery store in the neighborhood, citing
past problems of heavy traffic, lack of parking space, and noise.
Bartels wondered about parking requirements for a grocery store/pharmacy. Woito
stated that the property didn't have to meet parking requirements because it was
a continuing non-conforming use.
Laivrence Howsare, owner of the building, answered some questions about previous
uses.
Boothroy said that the pharmacy/grocery store was a neighborhood type use.
Staff felt that a neighborhood use did not require the same amount of signage as
the same type of property in a general commercial zone. Boothroy suggested that
the Board of Adjustment use the C1 zoning standard for signage as a guide when
considering this variance.
M. J. Dolan, 319 N. Dodge, asked when the sign would be illuminated as the past
sign was spotlit all night at times.
Sheker answered the sign would be lit only during business hours from 8 a.m.
till approximately 9 p.m.
Harris stated there were two ways to lessen the impact on the neighborhood: 1)
cut down the intensity of illumination, and 2) decide upon the size of the
signage. Vanderhoef wondered if a smaller size would require a variance.
Harris said yes.
The members discussed possible wording of a motion, attempting to incorporate
the iilumination method, hours and size of the signage.
Sheker stated that the internally illuminated sign was originally proposed
because it was unobtrusive. Barker agreed. Woito asked that the Board weigh
the burden placed on the public by the obtrusiveness of the internally
illuminated versus spotlit sign. Boothroy said a variance could be granted
subject ta special conditions.

Barker stated that the applicant should have the leeway of a C1 zoning. Bartels
disagreed.
Vanderhoef moved that a variance be granted to install an on-premise internally
illuminated advertising and identification facia sign not to exceed 91 square
feet in total area�with no greater than 60 square feet on the north side and 39
square feet on the west side, these signs to be illuminated only during hours of

polled the members. The motion carried unanimously.
The consideration of the minutes from July 21, 1981, August 13, 1981, and

oZr mpany for approval of the Amended Preliminary and Final LSNRD plan of
Hy-Vee/Drug Town and Contractors Tool and Supply Company located south of
Highway 6 Bypass and west of Boyrum Street be approved.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
Jakobsen called the meeting to order. The minutes of September 17 were
approved as circulated; Blum pointed out that on page one it should be
Goldene and not Goldie Haendel.
Jakobsen asked if anyone present wished to discuss any item not included
on the agenda. No one responded.
ZONING ITEMS:

Jakobsen stated that the staff and the City Attorney's office recommended
that all items requiring an amendment for the Comprehensive Plan be
deferred until such time as a new short-range plan is drawn up and
discussed by the Commission. Blum wondered about the time frame involved.
Jakobsen stated it would probably not occur until the first of the year.
Hartan moved that the application be deferred until similar items
requiring an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan are considered. Jordon
seconded. The Motion carried unanimously.
Blum suggested that the staff contact the applicant and advise them of the
delay.

Z-8106. Public discussion of an application submitted by Donald S.
iA�eTsen for approval of the rezoning of the praperty located at 700 5.
Capitol Street; 45-day limitation period: waived.
Jakobsen advised the Commission that this item would also require an
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. Jakobsen asked i� anyone was present
to speak on this item. No one responded. Blum mentioned that Goldene
Haendel of the Housing Commission had requested that this item be placed
on the agenda of the next regular meeting for possible discussion.
Blum moved that this item be deferred until similar items requiring an
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan are considered but that the item be
placed on the agenda for possible discussion at the next regular meeting.
Seward seconded. The Motion carried unanimously.
Amendment of the Com rehensive Plan for an area located south of Myrtle
ve�nue, north� �a�j'roacTtracks and west of Riverside Drive -
changing the land use designation from 16-24 du/acre to 24+ du/acre and
general commercial.
Jakobsen asked if anyone was present to speak on this item. No one was.
There was a general consensus that this item should also be deferred until
such time as similar items requiring an amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan were considered. All agreed.
Z-8107. Public discussion of an application submitted by Plum Grove
c1i res, Inc. for the rezoning of a 7.3 acre tract of land from R1A to R3
located at the southeast corner of Scott Boulevard and Court Street; 45-
day limitation period: 10/11/81.
Boothroy discussed the location and the zoning history of the area in
question. The staff recommended denial of the application unless the
applicant changed the request to rezoning only the north portion of the
property to R3 and leaving the south portion single-family. Boothroy
explained the Comprehensive Plan shows the applicant's property as only
partially within the higher density area, with dwelling unit density in
the request area varying from two to 16 units per acre. In accord with the
Comprehensive Plan, the intent seems to be that of integrating the area
with single-, two-family and multi-family units, but in a manner which
provides a transition of land uses with multiple-family residences
opposing existing R3A development to the west and future commerciai and
multi-family residences to the north. The applicant's request is not
consistent with this intent as the southern portion of the property, if
rezoned, would oppose existing single-family residences without the
benefits of the type of land use transition envisioned by the plan.
Boothroy stated that if the applicant would amend his application to be
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the staff would recommend
approval of the request.

Jakobsen asked if anyane was present to speak on this item.
Bruce Randall, 3328 Shamrock Drive, spoke in opposition to this item for a
number of reasons: 1) the single-family residential area should be
maintained; 2) the neighborhood schools were at maximum capacity; 3) the
heavy traffic in area, and 4) the existing problems of stormwater
drainage. Randall presented a photocopy of a petition from over 100
residents of this area opposed to rezoning.
frank Burns, 3304 Shamrock Drive, spoke against this item, expressing
concern over the water drainage problem in the area and the possibility
that rezoning would aggravate the problem.
Jakobsen stated that no development plan had been submitted to answer
these concerns, emphasizing that this was a request for rezoning. Blum
stated that the stormwater runoff issue was not addressed with the
rezoning request by the Commission, saying that until development plans
are submitted, the Stormwater Management Ordinance would not appiy.
Hugh Mose, 3410 Shamrock Drive, spoke against rezoning, and wondered at
the difference between R3 and R3A. Boothroy explained. Mose restated the
concerns expressed by previous speakers, adding concern for the economic
impact on his property.
Barb Broffitt, 3029 East Court, spoke against rezoning, expressing
concern over increased traffic.
Jerry Atkins, 3417 Shamrock Orive, spoke against rezoning, saying the
sewage system was already working at capacity and could not handle
increased density in that area. Jakobsen asked Boothroy what the sewage
capacity for that area was. Boothroy stated it would not be a problem
with this development.
Bruce Glasgow, 834 North Johnson, President of Plum Grove Acres, Inc.,
spoke in favor of the application. Glasgow outlined the history of Plum
Grove Acres, Inc., and its development record in Iowa City. Glasgow
mentioned past attempts to develop this property which were delayed by the
City for various reasons. In answer to the objections based on keeping the
area single-family residential, Glasgow stated that the rezoning request
was for attached single-family housing and not for apartment zoning.
Glasgow attempted to answer the main objection, the drainage problem,
stating that the plan for development would require stormwater
management, which would take care of the drainage problem.
Seward asked Glasgow about a planned exit from the housing development
across Shamrock Drive. Glasgow stated there would be another exit off
Court Street. Seward asked about plans far screening the development from

the nearby single-family houses. Glasgow said that only two houses were
across the street from the area and that while screening was a
possibility, he hoped the housing development would be attractive enough
that screem ng would not be considered necessary.
Glasgow fielded questions .from the public, mostly about drainage
concerns.
Delores Burns, 3304 Shamrock Drive, voiced concern over drainage. Blum
stated that tfie applicant would be required to meet the Stormwater
Management Ordinance upon the development of the property in question.
Woito stated that the City Engineer would have to approve plans for
stormwater management.
Frank Burns asked Glasgow if the water drainage situation would be better
or worse after the area was developed. Glasgow said it would be better.
Jakabsen wondered if this item required an amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan. Blum thought not, stating that the Comprehensive Plan was a general
land use planning tool and not a zoning map.
Jakobsen stated that if the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the
application, that it would mean that an amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan was not required and if, denied, the Planning and Zoning Commissioa
would have to discuss the application's relation to the Comprehensive
Plan.
Horton asked that the staff's recommendation be repeated. Boothroy said
that the staff's recommendation was to deny the present application.
Boothroy discussed the idea of the applicant submitting a PAD. Woito
cautioned advocating a mixed.zoning solution for the applicant and
suggested that a split zoning alternative be eliminated from the staff s
recommendation.
B1um moved that the application be approved. Jordan seconded. Woito
stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission should decide whether the
application required an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and if it
didn't, then how large a parcel would fit into the overall density of that
area. McDonald stated that a vote for approval would be a vote against
requiring an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
The public interjected that they didn't want rezoning. Jakobsen pointed
out that the public should realize that the area would have to be rezoned
eventually to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Seward asked if
Glasgow would waive the 45-day limitation period. Glasgow said no.

The motion to approve the application failed unanimously.
Blum moved that the application be denied. Horton seconded. The motion
carried unanimously.
Glasgaw submitted an amendment to the application consistent with the
staff's recommendations.
Blum moved that the last motion be reconsidered. Seward seconded. The
Planning and Zoning Commission decided that a two-thirds majority would
reconsider a motion. Seward stated that if Glasgow gave the Planning and
Zoning Commission a waiver, the item would be considered at the next
regular meeting, if the motion to recansider the previous motion carried.
The motion to reconsider the previous motion passed unanimously.
The Commission approved deferring this item until the end of the agenda by
general consensus.
Jakobsen stated, to the public's benefit, that, if the letter waiving the
limitation period was received, the Commission would vote on deferring the
application until such time as the public could discuss and the Commission
could consider the amended application. Jakobsen stated that if no letter
waiving the limitation period was recieved, the Commission would
reconsider the motion to deny the application.
Z-8108. Public discussion of an application submitted by University
Bap ist t Church for the rezoning of a four acre tract of land from R1A to R3
located at the northeast corner of Westgate and Benton Streets; 45-day
limitation period: 10/29/81.
Keller discussed location and zoning history of the surrounding area.
Keller stated that the rezoning would be consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan. Keller stated that although no assurances had been received with
regard to stormwater management, the staff recommend approval of this
application.
Jakobsen asked if anyone was present to speak on this item.
G. Paul Hoherd, 724 Wheatan Road, spoke against rezoning, citing the
stormwater runoff problem as the main reason for concern. Hoherd stated
that he had a petition from three-fourths of the landowners from Westgate
Street, West Benton Street.
Merle Meyers, 4 Westgate Circle, spoke against rezoning for the drainage
problems mentioned.

Blum wondered how many property owners it would take to raise the question
of legal objection. Boothroy stated it would require objections from 20
percent of the property owners immediately adjacent to the rear or
directly opposite the property in question.
Randall Miller, representing the University Baptist Church, spoke in
favor of the application. Miller stated that less land area would be put
under concrete when developing the property for multi-family as opposed to
single-family. Miller also stated that the engineering drawings for the
property recommended putting stormwater management in the north portion
of the property.
Jakobsen suggested that this item be deferred until the next meeting. All
agreed.

Dear Neal,
This year the Elderly Services Agency would like to offer again
a free snow removal service to low-income elderly and handicapped.
Since we do not have any funds to subsidize this service, we would
like to offer the City the opportunity to support this program.
As Art Anderson indicated in a letter to you, on September 24,
1981, if we have a severe winter, this service could cost at least
$2,800. This is based on an estimate of the number of times it
could snow and the number of clients we expect to serve. It is
entirely possible that it could cost more if we get a greater
number of clients than anticipated.
We hope you can help us again this year.

At its informal session on December 7, the City Council agreed that
$2800 be designated for snow removal for low-jncome elderly and

as reimbursement for labor costs incurred. You wi11 be asked to
submit a brief manthly report on service provided by the program i
during that month prior to reimbursement being made. At the end of
the winter, any unused portion of the $2800 will remain with the '
City, In the event that this winter becomes severe and additional
funds are needed, the Council will reassess the situation.
A resolution wi17 be presented to the Council for a formal vote at '
its next meeting on �ecember 22, Further details of the agreement .
between the City and the Elderly Services Agency Wj�� be included in
an amendment to the current contract for services, which wj71 4

September 24, 1981
This letter is concerning a request for funds for our snow re-
moval program for the 81/82 snow season. Having researched the annual
amount of snoa� fa11 over the last 6 years, o-ie have found it has snowed
over 2", an average of 7 times per year. Considering we will be asked
•to serve at least 100 low-income, frail elderly, and handicapped resi-
dents during the 81/82 season, we feel that at a rate of $4.00 per job,
we �•iill need at least $2,800.00 to provide this service should it be a
severe winter. By the way, last year was a mild year. We only spent
$800.00 on this program. '
Also, last year we received some funds from IIACAP. However, they
do not have the funds this year to subsidize this program. If you
would like this service to continue, it can only be done with your
assistance. We hope you can help.

Left Turn Signals - U.S. Highway N6/First Avenue
As directed by Section 23-16 of the Municipal Code this is to advise you
of the following action:
ACTION:
Pursuant to Section 23-30 of the Municipal Code the City Traffic Engineer
will direct that the permissive left hand turn signal at the above-
referenced intersection be removed. It will be replaced by a protected
left turn signal only. This action will take place on or shortly after
October 23, 1981.
COMMENT:
This action is being taken after a review of the accident experience for
this intersection. There has been a high number of left turn accidents at
this location. By removing the permissive left hand turn movement and
allowing turns to occur only under a protected phase there should be a
significant reduction of left turn accidents.

Re u st of Jim Clark for
9
as E igible for Industrial
Designation of Abram's Property
Revenue Bonds
Appearing on the agenda is a request from Jim Clark that the City
Cauncil designate the Abram's property on Gilbert Street as eligible
far industrial revenue bonds for the purpose of construction of
residential property. On May 13, 1980, the City Council approved the
preliminary and final large scale residential development for this
parcel. It is recommended that the City Council designate the
property for use of industrial revenue bonds. The appropriate
resolution appears on this agenda. ,
The urban renewal plan mentions the desirability of housing in the
central busSness distric�. This is one piece of property immediately
adjacent to the urban renewal area which is available for housing.
It appears that clearance of other parcels of similar size for
residential use would not be financially feasible.
Mr. Clark proposes to upgrade the design of the project and is
negotiating with the City to relieve the City, at least partially, of
the responsibility for reconstruction of the sewer which runs
through the project. The savings to the City could be substantial.

NIEMORANDUM
Date: October 6,. 1981
To: Members af the Police Association Bargaining Team
From: Members of the City's Bargaining Team
Re: Negotiations
Please find attached a copy of the City's proposals for consideration in
current negotiations.
It is the City's posit•ion that members af the Police Bargaining Unit
continue to enjoy outstanding wages, fringe benefits and working condi-
tions. For�example:
1. Iowa City police officers are the highest paid in the State of Iowa.
2. Iowa City police officers receive after a period of only 4� years a
top patrol officer's salary substantially abave the average salary
of similar police officers.
3• Iowa City police officers enjoy one of the most liberal vacation
plans in the State of Iowa.
4• Iowa City police officers 'enjoy one of the most liberal holiday
programs in the State of Iowa.
5. Iowa City police officers receive outstanding retirement benefits
funded by an annual contribution from the City amounting to about 30
percent.of each employee's salary. •
6. Iowa City police officers enjoy an attractive individual and family
health insurance and life insurance program funded by the City.
7. Iowa City police officers enjoy an attractive sick leave policy
allowing accrual up to 180 working days; one-half of which is paid as
a bonus to employees upon termination of employment for retirement or
other reasons.
8. Iowa City police officers are granted a number of paid leaves
including, for example, funeral leaves.
9. Iowa City police officers enjoy one af the most attractive longevity
pay programs in the State of Iawa as well as guaranteed ca11-in pay,
shift premium pay, clothing allowance, free uniforms, and higher pay
for working out of classification.
Along with the attractive wages, hours and working conditions described
abave, Iowa City police officers also enjay substantial job security and
pleasant and safe working conditions. Proof of this is in the relatively
low turnover and high seniority of the Police Department.

We have considered the original demands of the Police Officers
Association. It is the City's opinion that these proposals represent a
substaniial cost to the taxpayers of Iowa City and demand more than is
reasonably appropriate based upon wages and benefits received by
similarly situated officers in comparable cities in Iowa. The City
believes these proposals encroach upon the rights of the administration of
the City and the Police Oepartment to effectively and efficiently manage
the operation of Lhe department in the best interests of the citizens of
Iowa City.

After purchase the units will be owned and managed by the Iowa City
Housing Authority. Funds for the purchase are provided by the �epartment

contributions contract between the City and HUD.
Tenants for the unit are selected from applications submitted to the
Housing Autharity in accordance with an appraved rating system. Tenants
currently pay 25% of their adjusted income for rent and utilities. It is
expected that this will increase to 30% in the near future because of a
' i
! change in Federal law. Tenants for the six units in Stage I have been �
selected, however, persons/families wishing to apply for the units in {
I
�Stage II and III should contact the Assisted Housing Division, 356-5138, �
or visit the office located in the Davis Building, 332 East Washington ;

specifically designed for families with at least one member confined to a
wheelchair. Priority will be given to the handicapped. Now is the time
ta get applications on file if you wish to be considered for occupancy,
which will occur in December.

Chuaaui�tially, Mr. La took no

ucording to him, it was the
"enthusiasm of others that lw
enebled us to iet up this program af

the quia Mr. Lee became less
patient. He told the Rotarians and
the League of Wamen Voters that
(owa City was the only community
in [owa with a population af more
than 10,000 without a Rec Center;
tha[ [owa City waz spending lus per
capita for public recreation than any
Iowa town and that the City's
schools and churches were
inappropriate facilitia for a proper
pro4ram. Mr. Lee had voiced the
obvious: the rareation needs of the
City daerved a place on the list oC
the City's priaritia. Time passed
end the voters approved overwhelm-
inQly [he building of a new Recrea-
tion Center and the necessary tax
levy in 1%1. More than 2000
persons at[ended the formal
dedication of the new building on
October I I. 1964•
The final achievement of the
buildin� may be Bob Lw'�
monument, but his real reward must
be thac it is always full aC people ot
all aga. He is very sensitive to the
needs af the population he serva.

There is nothing immutable abauc

is this: Respand to the unmet nads
of the community wich the bat

those projects that are provided for
adequately by other ageacia.

a[ablishing a recreation program in
Cedar Falls. Before that he taught in
lowa public schools, was a member
of the Waterloo Recreation Pro-
gram staff. Still further back, he
was a Company Commander in
Wadd War IL Providing meaning-
ful recreation to fulfill a variety oF
needs has been his life. To the inno-
cent bystander he may seem very
quiet, very serious, but it can be
shown he has a subtle humor. He
once received a letter con[aining an
implausibie requat. There was dead
silmce from him on the matter in
spi[e of frequent friendly encounten
in the Rec Cen[er hails with the
letta-writer. All at once one day
outside his office, about two years
after receiving the requat: "Oh by
the way. About that letter you wrote
a while ago. Sarry we can't do
anything about it." Talk abou[

Mr. Lee has been a benevolent
presence in our mids[ for a long

paiient. He told the Rotarians and
the Leaguc of Womcn Voters that
lowa City was thc only communiry
in lowa witl� a population of more
than 10,000 wi�hout a Rcc Centcr,
that lowa City was spending less per

Iowa town and that the City's
schools and churchcs werc
inappropriate facilities for a proper

obvious: thc rccreation nccds of thc

Conference Call from HUD
�
On Wednesday afternoon, October 7, 1981, I' was included in a confererce call
initiated by Larry Heeren, Director of Community Planning and Development, Omalia
Area Office, HUD. Other participants in this call were Georgia Lewis, Claude
McKinney, Bill Clements, Bill Shoemaker, Jim Laakso and Wi11ie Spearman, Omaha
Area Office; Bill VanFleet, Des Moines Service Office; and a community
development staff person from the City of Des Moines.
The purpose of this ca11 was to give Iowa City and Des Moines some guidance in
preparing for the 1982 CDBG cycle. Both cities are the earliest entitlement
applicants in this HUD jurisdiction. Larry Heeren led the discussion based on
the following topics and made reference to summary information previously
supplied to the cities.
1. Status of regulations.
2. Funding.
3. Application requirements.
4. Housing assistance plan.
Status of Requlations
Significant changes are proposed for the Regulations pertaining to application
procedures and requirement. They were supposedly being forwarded to OMB this
week (October 5) which means they may not be published in the Federal Register
until the end of October. Other significant changes are: funds may now go to
private for-profit organizations to conduct community development activities.
Also, there is now a 10% limit on funding for public services. .
Funding
Al1 entitlements will be reduced 10% from the 1981 level. (In Iowa City's case,
we wi11 go from $776,000 in 1981 to $698,400 in 1982.) It was noted that the
President's call for an additional 12% budget reduction in 1982 federal programs
may also affect us later on.
Application Requirements
The term "application" is no longer in vogue. Instead, NUD will require
submission of a"statement of objectives".
A-95 review is no longer required, and HUD's review will be 30 days instead of 15
days. Iowa City's statement is due December 1, 1981. As far as presubmission
requirements:
�5��
�, MILROFILME� BY
� 'JORM MICROLAB
�CE�AR RAPI�S•UES ROINES
�
� . " �-� 'L �'
1. Citizens must be advised of the availability of funds and information about
activities.
2. At least one public hearing is required.
3. The proposed statement of objectives must be published. (No prescribed
format.)
4. The final statement, listing activities and budget, is suhmitted to HUD,
and except for the Standard Form 424 and Assurances forms, there is no
prescribed format.
These changes are in keeping with the 1981 amendments to the Housing and
Community Development Act which intended to reduce the front end "paperwork".
Maximum feasibility objectives of the CDB6 program are still the same, but are
now co-equal. (These being benefit to low and moderate income persons,
prevention or removal of slums or blight, and removal of serious and immediate
threats to health or welfare.) There is no longer a requirement that overall,
75% of the program funds must principally benefit low and moderate income
persons.
Housing Assistance Plan
The HAP will hereafter be submitted separate from the statement of objectives.
For 1982 only, we have the option of (a) extending the current HAP to
September 30, 1982 or (b) revising and extending it to September 30, 1982.
Revisions may only be made for non-HUD assisted goals.
Next year, a new HAP will be submitted by October 1, 1982. Thereafter, the HAP
will coincide with the HUD allocation process and the federal fiscal year.
Questions Posed by Iowa City and Des Moines
What are the new income guidelines? 1981 median family income data are
available and will be sent to us.
2. Are there any requirements for establishing neighborhood strategy areas
(NSA's) or target areas? IJo, although State law, i.e. Chapter 403 of the
Iowa Code, may require such designations.
3. What�about measurable impacts over a"reasonable" time period? There will
no longer be a three year community development plan suhmission, only the
annual statement of objectives.
The Area Office will continue to advise us of program changes as they occur.

MEMORANDVM
Date: October 9, 1981
To: Ci ty Counci 1 „�,
,���
From: Committee on Community Needs, Margare Bonney, Chairperson
Re: Use of CDBG Funds in 1982
At a meeting on Wednesday, October 7, 1987, at which all eleven members were
present, CCN discussed the funding of the Ralston Creek North Branch Dam at
considerable length. As a result of this discussion, the following motion was
passed unanimously: "The Committee on Community Needs feels that there are no
pragrams which can be eliminated from the budget at this time in order to
provide additional funds for the Ralston Creek North Branch Dam."
This motion was based on the following considerations:
l. Over the past six years approximately 40% of CDBG funds have been allocated
to Ralston Creek improvements. This includes over $1.5 million for the
dams on the north and south branches of Ralston Creek.
2. Since HUD procedures have not been followed for land acquisition, CDBG
monies can only be used for construction of the North Branch Dam. CDBG
funds in the amount of $87,400 have already been expended on preliminary
designs for this dam, and an additional $310,000 are available to help fund
construction. It was always the Committee's understanding that part of the
casts of this dam construction would be funded with G.O. bonds or by other
means.
3. The number af low and moderate income persons who benefit from the dam is
very small, contrary to the intent of the CDBG program.
4. Over 50% of the 1982 CDBG funds are already allocated to the Lower Ralston
Creek Project, with the remaining funds allocated far a variety of housing
programs directly benefitting low and moderate income persons.
5. It is particularly important to retain "seed" monies for future congregate
and public housing programs.
6. The metro-entitlement application for 1982-84 is the result of 5 months of
work by the Committee, including numerous public and neighborhood
meetings. Great care was taken in setting priorities, and for the first
time we feel we are addressing the concrete needs of low and moderate
income persons.

Investigative activities continued slightly ahead of the pace
of July.
Included with this report is a tabular summary indicating the
numerical increase/decrease in selected categories of reported
crime for the entire years of 1977-78-79-80, as well as a
comparison of the first six months of 1981 with the like
period of 1980. In addition, the same offense categories are
reported for the first six months of 1981 with the similar
period of 1980 indicating the percentage change (+ or -)
in each category. You are reminded that any increase or de-
crease of five to seven percent is not statistically signifi-
cant and may be a chance happening. In addition, the numbers
of reported offenses may be so small that the percentage is
also not statistically significant. I attribute the unusual
rise in reported arson cases to the very fine initial investi-
gations performed by the Iowa City Fire Department Fire Marshal.
Animal Control activities increased substantially in September,
1981 as compared to September, 1980. To repeat what has been
said in earlier reports, the recently amended licensing ordinance
and its operation have generated significantly increased reve-
nues in the Division of Animal Control.
A final note, the Iowa City Police Department returned to the
personnel streng'th authorized by Council with the hiring as
Police Officers of Rick Kibbee, Joel Myers and Stephen Switzer
in mid-September. The new hires will start recruit training
at the Iotiva Law Enforcement Academy in early October and be
ready for street duties in mid-December.
Statistical reports are appended.

APPLICATIONS TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 1399-1814
1. Doothroy noted that all three items regarding vacation of Scott Dlvd.
right-of-way needed to be considered in the order that they are on
the agenda.
Councilman Perret arrived, 3:05 PM.
2. Milkman explained the amendment to the Preliminary-Final PAD for
Orchard Court was because of the difference .in the type of buildin9
to be constructed, but there would still be 17 units. Councilmembers
had no questions and three considerations will be given.
3. The amendment to the Prel. & Final LSNRD for HyVee/Drug To�an and
Contractor's Tool and Supply is to allow a storage facility to be
constructed on a portion of Contractor's Tool and Supply fenced-in
and graveled area. The parking spaces are all right for this
accessory use. Storm water management has already been provided
for, Boothroy noted.
Councilman Erdahl arrived, 3:10 PM.
4. Boothroy pointed out that the Ordinance regarding zone for funeral
homes/mortuary had been changed to prohibit construction except in an
R3A zone as Council decided. To change to a less restrictive zone will
not require another public hearing. Sharm Scheurman arrived and was
apprised of Council's decision to restrict construction to the R3A zone
with a minimum of one acre lot size. Scheurman suggested that a
mortuary was a lot like a church and stated that the Council would
not aften be confronted with this question. His client is considering
a two acre parcel in the fringe area. 600throy explained P&Z Comm.
decision for R3 zone. There is no provision for a variance approach.
A majority of Councilmembers agreed to leave the zone R3, but a
40,000 square foot minimum lot area. This uiill be changed in the
Ord. being considered.
Councilwoman Neuhauser arrived, 3:20 PM.
AGENDA/COUNCIL 6USINESS 1814-2009
1. Balmer stated that regarding placement of a dumpster for the Senior
Center, he was against taking out shrubbery. Derlin thought that
the matter would be resolved satisfactorily.
2. Dalmer questioned if paving for Aber Avenue would be uniform in width.
This agreement was made several years ago. It will tie into Ty'n Cae
(36' wide) whenever the land (John Dane's) comes in, and Council will
decide then.

3. Regarding the sanitary sewer easement for Allen Greb, 8erlin
advised that staff is comfortable with reduction of the width
of the easement.
Informal Council
October 5, 1981
4. Berlin explained that Item 21, Sale of 5370,000 public improvement
bonds, was for the paving and storm drainage in the B.D.I. develop-
ment. As bids previously received for the sale of these bonds came
in too high, the only alternative at this time was that the bonds
would be issued, at 10%, to the contractor who currently is holding
the warrants at 7%. Neuhauser requested a report from the Staff
on how the applicant met the criteria as requested by City policy.
5. City Manager called attention to the Press Release being distributed
regarding the City's receipt of federal matching grant for energy
conservation.
6. Hauer distributed to Council the report from consultant Zuchelli
regarding redevelopment opportunities for the former public library
building. Copies of this report will sell for 51.
FUNDING FOR THE NORTH BRANCH DAM 2009-End
Mayor Balmer called attention to the memo from Schmeiser in the packet
entitled Reallocation of Metro Entitlement CDBG Funds, and expressed
concern regarding the article in the Daily Iowan. He stated that at the
executive session mentioned, Council had decided to not discuss funding.
Berlin added that Council specifically asked Staff to prepare a report
regarding other sources for funding and was why this discussion had been
scheduled. In answer to Erdahl's question regarding the bond market,
Berlin replied that there �aas no reason to believe high quality bonds
couldn't be sold on the market, but there were two issues, the cost, and
this amount of money, tahat it does to the overall schedule of debt as you
look at other projects. '
derlin summarized the discussion as follo�as: The land could be acquired
this fall, plans and specifications �aould be started, finished next Spring
with a detailed estimate on construction costs. At that time, determine
how to finance the cost of the dam. Staff and the Commission could go back
through the Block Grant programs, knowing what the Council's general interest
is, seeing what flexibility they have next Spring. There was general agreement.
APPOINTMENTS TO THE GUMM11
Council agreed on the reap
Jim Hirt and Ruth Becker.
ITY NEEDS
Marqaret Bonney, and appointment of
COUNCIL 6USINESS
1. There was general agreement with the recommendation of Hugh Mose re-
garding the placement of bus shelters.
2. Councilmembers also a9reed with the memo regarding the sale of Elm
Grove Park.
3. Councilmembers discussed whether or not agenda material should be
stapled. Many did not mind if copies of material were printed on
both sides of the paper, if separate items were not run together
(such as the first page of a new item being printed on the back
side of another item). Berlin will investigate.

Re: The Brown Bottle Application for Industrial Revenue 8onds
Staff review of the application has verified that the project complies
with all legal and City requirements such as meeting IRS guidelines for
tax-exempt status, the maintenance or increase in employm?nt
opportunities in the community,. environmental factors and community
service factors. The financial 'review of the project revealed no problem
areas. •
The application �form submitted by The Brown Bottle does indicate that
remodeling plans will include putting a new face on the o1d�Younkers
building. The reason stated on the application for applying for IRB's
reads "In order for us to move to the praposed new location (we will be
leasing the whole building but occupying only one-third•of the building)
the IRB will be needed to cover all leasehold improvements and the
purchase of new equipment. The proposed project involves approximately
30,000 square feet which will not be occupied by the applicant. The
leasing and rehabilitatian by the applicant of this space would not be
possible without capital IRB financing.".
Staff recommends that the Council proceed with the issuance of the bonds.

Re: Recommendations from the Planning & Zaning Commission
The Planning & Zoning Commission at a regular meeting held October 15,
1981, made the following two recommendations:
1. Z-8107. That the application submitted by Plum Grove Acres, Inc. for
the rezoning of a 7.3 acre tract of land, with the north portion of
the property to be rezaned from R1A to R3 and the south portion of
the property from R1A to R16, lacated at the southeast corner of
Scott Boulevard and Court Street be approved.
2. Z-8108. That the application submitted by University Baptist Church
o�r Lfie rezoning of a 4 acre tract of land from R1A to R3 located at
the northeast corner of Westgate and Benton Streets be approved.
The staff reports dated October 15, 1961 concerning both of these items
have been included in the Council's packet. Staff will be present at the
informal meeting to discuss these two applications with the Council.

October 11, 1981.
Currently undeveloped; gently to
moderately sloping.
ANALYSIS '
The applicant requests the rezoning of a 7.32 acre undeveloped tract of land
' located on the southeast corner of Court Street and Scott Boulevard from R1A to
R3. This action would increase the residential density allowance from four (4)
i dweliing units per acre to fourteen (14) dwelling units per acre. Rezoning
' would mean that up to eight (8) single-family residences or fourteen (14)
multi-family units could be built per acre on this property.
While the area is predominantly single-family residential, an R3A zone is
located directly to the west of this property and contains both apartments and
condominiums. To the north, while still undeveloped, property is zoned C2 and
R3A.

In considering a rezoning request, in this case for undeveloped iand on the
fringe of residential development, it is essential to review the Comprehensive
Plan's determination of appropriate land use for this area. Other considera-
tions include the realignment of Scott Boulevard (placing it to the east of the
property in question) and the extension of a trunk sewer line to service this
area.
The Comprehensive Plan designated the area of Court Street and Scott Boulevard
as an area of mixed land uses, including a neighborhood commercial center. With
a trunk sewer line available and the Scott Boulevard improvements alleviating
additional traffic, the area wi11 be able to support both commercial and
residential development. The Plan shows the applicant's property as only
partially within the higher density area, with dwelling unit density in the
request area varying from two to. sixteen units per acre In accord with the
Comprehensive Plan, the intent seems to be that af integrating the area with
single, two-family and multi-family units, but in a manner which provides a
transition in land uses with multiple family residences opposing existing R3A
development to the west and future commercial and multiple-family residences to
the north, The applicant's request is not consistent with this intent as the
southern portion of the property, if rezoned, would oppose existing single-
family residences without the benefit of the type of land use transition
envisioned by the plan. Therefore, the staff favors rezoning only the northern
portion of the request area to R3 to a tract depth equal to the R3A zone boundary
directly west. The southern portion of the property should remain zoned single
family residential.
The northern portion of the request area is suited for the higher R3 density as
its location near tfie future intersection of two arterial streets wi11 provide
accessibility for the residents and serve as a transitional area between the
surrounding commercial and lower density residential areas.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the rezoning request be denied. If the applicant amends
his request to be consistent with the concerns discussed above, the staff would
recommend in favor of that request.

ANALYSIS
Vehicular access would be
provided from Westgate Street.
The t�opography is rolling to
moderately steep with slopes of
from 5%-15%.
A development density of between eight to sixteen dwelling units per acre
is designated for this area by the City's Comprehensive Plan and intended
to be zoned to permit medium density single family and low density multi-
family residential uses. The types of uses which this rezoning would
permit is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The existing infrastructure is adequate to serve any potential multi-
family development. The property fronts Westgate Street, a collector
street, and Benton Street, a major arterial. Westgate Street is
constructed to a pavement width of 36 feet. This width provides parking
an both sides and two traffic lanes. Adequate sewer and water service are
available.
There are two existing zones, R2 and R3, which can be applied to implement
the Comprehensive Plan. In a previous request to rezone the north portion
of this property, the applicant stated that a reasonable return on the
property cannot be expected of zones R2, R1A, or R18 because the
development costs of the property would exceed the market value. Even
though the.allowable density of the development for R2 and R3 is the same,
an important distinction in terms of development costs will result. If
the parcels are developed under an R1 or R2 zoning classification, each
building must be located on its own lot. If the property were developed
in a R1A, R1B or R2 zone then an interior street would have to be
constructed due to the land configuration. The cost of street
construction could make development of the parcels economically
infeasible. The R3 zoning will provide the owner the flexibility of
developing his or her property to a higher density without the expense of
providing a public street. Under an R3 zone more than one building may be
located on a lot as long as the buildings are separated by a horizontal
distance that is equal to the height of the highest building. The use of a
Planned Area Development Plan for provision of private streets is also an
alternative.
The subject rezoning would allow uses which are generally compatible with
adjacent uses. Multi-family uses are located.both to the north and to the
east, private open space opposes the northern end of the subject property
across Westgate Street to the west. The predominant use fronting Westgate
Street is duplex with the exception being Westgate Circle where single
family dwellings face the church across Westgate Street. All of these
existing uses were developed in an area which was zoned R3.
One of the issues raised with the previous application to rezone this
property was the existing flooding problem in the downstream area, It has
been determined that the amount of stormwater runoff which could be
controlled on this site is negligible in regard to ameleorating the
Is86

downstream flooding problem. The area of the site from which stnrmwater
runoff is contributing, will be nominal compared to that of the entire
watershed.

Staff recommends approval of this rezoning from R1A to R3.

Re: Bicycles Through the Downtown Transit Interchange
To define the problem which has been brought to the Council's
attention, there is currently no way for bicyclists to safely and
legally cross the Central Business District in a westbound
direction. A study last April established that the Market/Jefferson
one-way pair bike lanes are too far north to serve most bicyclists;
most bicyclists have origins and destinations along routes which
take them through the CBD. There is no problem for eastbound
bicyclists because they can use Washington Street to cross the CBD.
Westbound bicyclists cannot use this route since Washington is a one-
way street.
The majority of bicyclists approaching the CBD in a westbound
direction use Iowa Avenue, although College and Washington Streets
are also heavily used. Because of the various street closures, new
buildings, and one-way streets, the problem occurs when a westbound
bicyclist reaches Clinton Street. To safely and legally get to
Madison Street from Clinton Street, a bicyclist must either detour.as
far south as Court Street or as far north as Market Street. What is
in fact occurring is that great numbers of bicyclists are presently
using the transit interchange to travel westbound, although this is
clearly illegal. The street is for buses only and the sidewalk for
pedestrians only. The use of the interchange by bicyclists is
further encouraged by the major bicycle parking facility recently
constructed by the University adjacent to this area.
I have discussed this matter with Traffic Engineer Jim Brachtel and
Transit Manager Hugh Mose, and they both feel that a solution can be
worked out permitting bicyclists to use the Transit Interchange in a
westbound direction. Jim has indicated that upon concurrence from
the City Council, he would erect an additional sign at the east end
of the Transit Interchange proclaiming "BICYCLES AND" which would be
added to the existing "BUSES ONLY" on the "DO NOT ENTER" sign. Jim
feels that this action will provide relief to a high number of
innocent lawbreakers, and reduce the �umber of pedestrian-bicycle
conflicts an the sidewalk along the Pentacrest. Hugh has some
reservations about this idea, but agrees that it is probably .a
necessary action. He does not feel that conflicts between buses and
bicycles will be a problem, but has a healthy concern that unforeseen
problems could develop. Hugh admits, however, that there are
presently a great number of bicyclists usiog the interchange in a
westbound direction, and they do not seem to be creating any great
problems.

I would impress upon you that I do not consider this to be an ideal
solution; I consider it to be the best answer to a difficult problem
for which an ideal solution is not possible. It will be able to be
implemented at very little cost, and is consistent with the City's
policy of encouraging the use of the bicycle for transportation.
I will be glad to discuss this matter with you further.

MEMORANDUM
,
DAiE� October 21, 1981
Tp: City Council and City Manager
FROM: Robert 14. Jansen j'Z W�,
RE: Bicycles through the downtown transit interchange
I have been asked to give my opinion concerning the proposal to per-
mit bicycles to use the interchange in the westbound direction. As
you know, the westbound lane of Washington Street between Clinton and
Madison Streets is closed to all traffic except buses. It is my opinion
that if the'use of the interchange by bicyclists is legally sanctioned
by the City, the City could incur substantial legal liability in the
event of injury or death to a bicyclist.
At,the present time any bicyclists who enter the interchange which is
restricted to bus traffic only assumes the risk of any injury that
might be sustain�d. Opening up the interchanp,e to bicyclists will al-
most certainly invite lawsuits if the bicyclist is struck by a bus
pulling into the traffic lanes after loading and unloading. The claim
will be that since the City permitted bike traffic through the area,
the drivers were negligent in that they knew or should have known of
the presence of bikes in the interchange and had a duty to look out for
them at all times.
In addition, I am not sure if the buses are equipped with mirrors that
have been sufficiently designed to enable a driver to spot a bike at all
angles to the bus. If the buses are not so equipped, then the claim will
be that the City was negligent in not equipping the buses with mirrors
that would enable the drivers to see bikes along side or whatever angle
that could cause a collision. Obviously, a bicycle along side a bus is
more difficult to see than is a car or truck.
The fact that bicyclists are now illegally using the interchange does
not completely absolve the City and its drivers from liability should a
bus strike a bicycle that is in plain sight. However, the duty to keep
a lookout is much less in the present situation than it would be if the
City were to permit and thereby sanction the use of the interchange by
bicyclists. In that case, the City then has a high duty to provide safe
conditions for bicyclists wishing to pass through the interchange. In
researching this question I have been unable to find any Iowa Supreme Court
cases that spell out the duty that a City owes to bicyclists under these
conditions. However, in the case of Bauman v City of IVaverly 164 NIV 2d
840(Iowa 1969) the City of IVaverly provided a public restroom for the use

of its citizens and a person was injured inside the public restroom.
The Iowa Supreme Court held that when the City of Ylaverly undertook to
establish accomodations for the use of the public, it had a high duty
to keep the restroom in safe condition. Similarly, if the City of Iowa
City desires to open the interchange to bicyclists as an accomodation to
them, then it would be necessary to provide a bike lane and appropriate
signing to fulfill its high duty to provide a safe condition for the bikes.
Sec. 23-65 of the Iowa City Code provides, "Persons riding bicycles on a
roadway shall ride single file. Every person riding a'bicycle on a road-
wa3r shall ride as near to the righthand side of the roadway as practicable
except for turning movements or where bike lanes so designate." It is my
understanding that there is bus loading and unloading in the righthand
lane of Washington Street. This section of the City Code would then have
to be amended to provide an exception for bicycles traveling through the
interchange since they would not be able to ride on the righthand side of
the street.
I will be available to discuss this opinion with the Council at the in-
formal session ori October 26th should there be any questions.

Better Utilization of Transit Service
For the past few weeks we have been working on a project to increase the
efficiency of Iowa City Transit. As you may already know, the North Dubuque
route is one of two routes which receive service once an hour. All other routes
except Wardway receive service twice an hour. In addition to this regular
service, there is also a special "tripper" service on the North Dubuque route
during the morning and evening rush hours. This results in the North Dubuque
route receiving twice per hour service during rush hours and once per hour
service the rest of the day. '
The North Dubuque route has very low ridership; ridership is considerably lower
than every other route in the system except Wardway. A reason for this is that
the North Dubuque Route serves only two large residential areas: Forest View
Trailer Court and the Mayflower Apartments. Since University of Iowa CAMBUS has
recently begun serving the Mayflower, ridership�on the North Dubuque route has
decreased even further. .

h hour only 3-12 people are using this bus.
It is expected that wfth the onset of cold weather, ridership will increase on
the Lakeside route to the point where we'will be forced to begin passing people
by. On certain runs we are already nearly at capacity. With this occurring it
does not seem right to be running the North Dubuque tripper nearly empty. What
we propose is taking this tripper service off of the Narth Dubuque route and
putting it on the Lakeside route. This wi1T give much needed extra capacity to
the Lakeside route and enable many more persons to ride the bus than the present
arrangement does. Those few people who ride the North Uubuque tripper may be
inconvenienced somewhat, but they will still have the regular hourly North
Dubuque service to use.
In this time of financial constraint for the City, we feel strongly that the
type of change we have proposed makes a great deal of sense: a change that
involves no increase in cost but results in increased ridership and a more
efficient use of equipment.
Unless directed otherwise, we will proceed to notify the public, revise our
schedules, and implement this change effective with the start of the second
semester in mid-January.

Re: Conference of International City Management Association
Several weeks ago the Manager attended the annual conference of the
International City Management Association which was held in Anaheim,
California. Drew Shaffer and I ar'rived there on Thursday to make a presentation
for a cable TV workshop which was held for cities throughout the country. The
workshop was a sellout and was well received. Drew received many requests for
additional information about Iowa City activities. I spake about the franchise
process and City cable operations while Drew spoke more directly to his
responsibilities and the development af community programming. There are naw
over 100 hours of programming a week. There is a great deal of tnterest in cable
television and apparently many communities have had many problems in franchising
and developing programs.
On Monday afternoon, I traveled to Irvine; California, which is just outside of
Anaheim. Irvine is a totally planned community and is growing very rapidly.
There are a number of aspects of Irvine that are extremely interesting. Most
new housing is attached. There is virtually no detached single-family housing
being constructed. The community makes very effective use of landscape borders
separating housing from arterial streets. These are walls, landscaping, earth
berms, or a combination thereof. Neighborhood parks and recreation facilities
are conveniently located in all neighborhoods. The effluent from the wastewater
treatment plant is virtually all recycled, primarily for irrigation.
There was one major issue in the conference programs; i.e., there are going to
be significant changes in the services being provided by local government and
how they are provided. Significant reductions in both revenue sharing and block
grants to cities are anticipated. All cities are looking at the way in which
they are providing services and how these services can be provided more
efficiently. Generally, the idea is that there are many alternative ways of
providing satisfactory services and the City increasingly cannot meet all needs.
The City must become a broker, in the community for mobilizing a great variety of
resources so that needs can be met in other ways. For example, in some instances
greater citizen participation and awareness might prove more productive for
citizens than direct government assumption of responsibility.

�ear Tom:
Enclosed is a memorandum which provides responses to questions asked
in recent weeks by various committees of the Chamber af Commerce and
the Old Capitol Center merchants.
As I mentioned in a recent Chamber Board meeting, I think it would be
desirable for us to consider a way in which these inquiries could be
channeled through a single source. This change would insure that
when a decision is made, it represents consensus of the concerned
parties and would also reduce the amount of time devoted to such
efforts. _
Many of the requests received by the City from the Chamber of
Commerce, Chamber committees, the Oowntown Association, and the Old
Capitol Center merchants involve the expenditure of additional
public funds. I would think it would be appropriate for the Chamber
of Commerce to consider this issue in relationship to the Chamber's
usual position copcerning the role of government and the expenditure
of public funds.
For example, in the past the Chamber has encouraged individual
merchants to clean the area in front of their store. Success in this
endeavor would greatly assist the City. Perhaps merchants talking to
other merchants who are creating problems or whose clients are the
offenders in destroying public property would also be of assistance.

Is there sufficient walking palice patrol?
The Police Chief documented the actual time spent in a three
week period in order to determine the adequacy of the service.
One officer patrols from 11 AM to about 3 PM; two officers fram
3 PM to 11 PM and two officers from 11 PM to 2:30 AM. These
patrols will continue unless an emergency dictates ather
assignments, or until weather conditions limit plaza and
downtown pedestrian use.
The light under the playground equipment needs to be repaired.
It has been repaired.
Is trash collected on Sunday? �
Yes, by Parks & Recreation employees.
Sunday bus service should be investigated.
A memorandum is attached. Sunday bus service is not
recommended. Even if Saturday service is eliminated, Sunday
service would cost an additional $700 per week.
Several curbs have sheared.
Ames Engineering and Metro Pavers wi11 complete the repair work,
to be coordinated by the Engineering Division by November 15.

If you are aware of problems,
What are the alternatives for reconstructing the sidewalk on
the north side of Old Capitol Center?
Any changes in the sidewalk will be expensive and based on our
observations, there are other City projects which deserve
tunding before this change. Also we da not believe that the
problem is severe enough to justify the expense of
reconstruction. The alternatives are:
a) Remove eastbound private auto traffic from the area. This
should allow the sidewalk to be widened an additional five
feet without disturbing bus operations.
b) Quit using island for bus boarding; move eastbound traffic
over against island and widen sidewalk as necessary.
Abandoning the island will be a"moral" defeat for the
transit interchange, and will eliminate two westbound bus
bays. This could be accommodated at the present time but
would really limit future expansion potential.
c) Remove the island and reconstruct it five feet north of its
present.location. Widen sidewalk five feet. This will be
very expensive, but will cause the least disruption to
present transit and traffic operations.
d) Remove island altogether; widen sidewalk about 25 feet;
place shelters, benches, trees, etc. in plaza area created
by the extremely wide sidewalk. This will be the most
expensive alternative, and will cause future problems if
expansion is desired. However, the shelters on the island
could be salvaged, and the waiting area for transit
patrons in front of "Gifted" could be maximized.
The drain holes in the bike rack area do not work.
The removal of a couple of bricks and the construction of a
small concrete channel to the curb wi11 correct the problem.
These changes a�i 11 be made.
There are complaints about inadequate lighting on Washington
Street between Clinton and Van Buren.
The lighting level could be increased with the use of higher
poles ($980 each) and new luminaires ($350 each), total cost
$41,230. At the time these lights were installed there was a
great deal of discussion and concern about over-lighting.

12. The halls in the parking ramps da not seem to bd, cleaned

See answer to Question N23 below.
13. Glue from various stickers applied to the parking ramp windows
has not been cleaned off.
Epoxy glue was used for the Park N' Shop signs to prevent theft.
A11 signs were stolen. There was a question as to whether the
signs woutd be replaced. Now that it has been determined that
the signs will not be replaced, the glue has been removed.
14. Coordinate with the merchants to install various Park & Shop and
Ride & Shop program decals.
To date the City of Iowa City has spent E450 on signs to promote
Park 'N Shop. These signs were erected in January 1981 as a
joint venture between the City of Iowa City and the Downtown
Merchants Assaciation. It was agreed at that time that the City
would pay for the purchase of the signs and the instaltation and
the Downtown Association would match the funds spent in
advertising. To date has the Oowntown Association spent any
money to match the money spent by the City? In addition to
this, the City of Iowa City is paying extra to have Park 'N Shop
information printed on each ticket dispensed at the parking
ramp. Is only the City of Iowa City promoting the Park 'N Shop
program?
15. The elevators are trashed periodically and not cleaned •

signs should be installed, the City will respond, if
financially acceptable.
17. The blockade of the Clinton Street entrance to the Capitol
Street parking ramp needs to be revised to reduce confusion;
additional barriers and plantings might be desirable. In
addition, motorcycles ga in and out of the parking ramp without
paying.
The City does not desire to permanently barricade the Clinton
Street entrance to the Capitol Street parking ramp at this time.
Because of the curb cut there is no way to eliminate motorcycles
entering and exiting the ramp from Clinton Street without
denying pedestrian access. A temporary asphalt curb could be
built in the unused traffic lane and filled with dirt and
plantings. This would eliminate confusion an the part of the
driving public and also eliminate access to the ramp by
motorcycles. This wi11 be investigated.
18. What about changing the time for the 504 charge fram 8:00 AM to
7:00 AM? This would eliminate the 50� charge for employees and
merchants coming into the shopping mall at approximately
8:00 AM.
The 506 overnight charge is being charged only from 10:00 PM
until 7:30 AM. Cashiers come on duty at 7:30 AM and charge only
25Q for the one hour period from 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM when parkers
exit later in the day.
19. The entrance door fram the Capitol Street corridor sticks.
The entrance door on the Capitol Street corridor is designed so
that it can be opened from either side if you are exiting from
the corridor. However, the north door must close first to make
the door open properly from the outside. We have attempted to
modify this door sa that it will not jam if opened improperly
from the inside but we have had no success with this attempted
modification. Unless these doors are replaced by doors of a
different design, this will be a continuing problem.
20. Open the Linn Street exit on the Oubuque Street parking ramp.
The Linn Street exit in the Dubuque Street Parking Ramp was
installed only for the use af hotel guests. It was not designed
for general parking ramp operations. This exit was to be
controlled by a card or token exit gate. To install an exit
booth at this exit would cost the City approximately 520,000
plus the cost of two full-time employees to operate the booth.
In addition, the proximity of the entrance/exit to Linn Street
makes its use undesirable for general operations. The use of
this exit for general operations is not recommended.

21. Signing inside of the Linn Street parking ramp does not seem to
be adequate. Have all new signs been installed and are the
directional signs clear?
All ordered signs have been received and installed in the
Dubuque Street parking ramp. A check with the cashiers was made
the week of September 11 and they reported that they are no
tonger receiving complaints that the ramp is not adequately
signed. If there is stiil a problem, let me know.
22. What can be done in the Capitol Street ramp and what will it
cost to build stairs or a"stile" to assist pedestrians on the
first floor level to get to the first floor elevator? Because •�
there are no stairs, pedestrians crawl over the wires and walk
into traffic areas.
Substantial structural alterations would be required to install
stairs. This will require outside engineering assistance. The
ramp is designed for the shopper to walk through the ramp to the
first tevel.
23. Check the trash containers in the parking ramp elevators.
Apparently, in late afternoons they are full.
This response also covers several previous questions.
At the present time the City of Iowa City is using 112 person-
hours per week to clean the Capitol and Dubuque Street parking
ramps. In addition to cleaning, maintenance workers are acting
as cashiers from 10:00 PM until 2:00 AM. This leaves them 64
person-hours per week to keep both ramps clean. The University
of Iowa operates three parking ramps containing a total of 1,500
spaces. They clean their ramps only Monday through Friday and
use a total of 160 person-hours during that time. We have nine
person-hours per night, they have 32. If we wish to keep the
ramps clean 24 hours per day we will have to hire people to work
24 hours per day. At the present time cleaning is completed by
7:00 AM and is only done on an emergency basis until 10:00 PM.
Present daytime staff does not have time ta clean the ramp and
complete their other assigned job duties.
To keep our ramps cleaner we wi11 have to do ane of the
following: 1) hire night cashiers, 2) increase the number of
maintenance workers, 3) both 1 and 2. Option 2 is recommended.
This will a11ow the person to perform two job duties, as the
maintenance worker pasitions include "act as cashiers" in the
job description.
An additional Maintenance Worker I should be employed to work
from 1:00 PM until 10:00 PM. This person's job wauld be to
clean the lobbies and the elevators and the north stair tower
and to provide a level of security in the ramp itself.

This person should work Monday through Friday when the Old
Capitol Center is open.
The 4/Sths time Maintenance Worker I working 10:00 PM to
7:00 AM should be made a full-time position.
A Maintenance Worker I should be hired to supplement the
10:00 PM to 7:00 AM shift. This would give us three.workers 5
nights per week, four workers Wednesday night, and two workers
Monday night.
This would give us 112 person-hours per week from 10:00 PM until
7:00 AM and 40 hours of afternoon-evening cleaning per week.
In addition to the extra personnel, the following equipment
should be purchased: a two speed scrubber/buffer, a janitor's
cart, and a trash cart.
The estimated cost of these changes is 531,332 yearly. The
City will implement these changes, with City Council approval.
24. It might be desirable to post signs at appropriate locations
indicating the City's intent to prosecute individuals
vandalizing trees.
Our experience is that the damage occurs in the early morning
hours generally when the bars close. There is no reason to
betieve that under these circumstances that signs would
represent any deterrent. _
25. Protect the trees with iron guards.
Iron guards for only the Plaza would cost 5125 each for a total
of $5,500, plus installation costs. Guards are an additional
invitation to attach bikes, dogs, etc. to the tree, thereby
increasing the potential for damage. Also, most of the previous
damage has been from the breaking off of branches and the tops
af trees.

Re: Sunday Bus Service
In response to recent inquiries regarding the possibility of Sunday bus service,
the Transit Division and the Transportation Planning staff have prepared the
following analysis. The potential for Sunday bus service is addressed in terms
of operations, cost, ride�ship and other considerations.
OPERATIONS
If Sunday bus service were to be operated, the most straight-forward arrangement
would be to run buses on all routes, at one hour headways; schedules would be
similar to our present evening service. This levei of operation would require
seven buses.
If service were desired to cover both Sunday morning church hours and Sunday
afternoon shopping times, buses would need to be on the street about 8 hours
each Sunday. The first bus an each route should arrive downtown no later than
10:15 AM, and the last bus on each route should leave downtown no earlier than
5:00 PM. 7his would allow 8 or 9 trips on each bus route.
The provision af Sunday bus service would require the services of 7 bus drivers
for approximately 8� hours per Sunday. Also, we would need an office person to
dispatch the buses, answer the tele hone
respond to emergencies, etc., and two part timerpersonsren�the evening to�clean,
would�needn o be avahlableetoa'nsure that tihe fulla ompli�ment of buses was�ready
for service on Monday morning.
RID�Ip

Champaign-Urbana Y few small cities have
California. UntilI�a�rlier thissmon h15therenwereeno��Iowa�cit�esawithnSunday
service, but recently Ames has begun limited campus operations on Sunday.
Ridership levels range from less than 3% to almost 33% of average weekday
patronage.
Analyzing Iowa City Transit ridership on Saturdays, it appears that ridership
overall averages a6out 19.0 passengers/bus-hour. This is with 30 minute
headways on all routes except one, 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM. Passenger totals range
from 2,SD0 per Saturday in August to 5,2D0 per Saturday in February
0
n Saturday night, ridership averages 11.0 passengers/bus-hour. This is with
hourly headways on all routes, 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM. Passenger totals range from
�8� per Saturday night in August to 370 per Saturday ni ht '
g �n February.

�
If it can be assumed that Sunday ridersliip potential is somewhere between
Saturday all day and Saturday nights, perhaps bus "productivity" would be about
15.0 passengers per bus hour. At this level Sunday ridership would be about 890
passengers per Sunday. Based on an estimated 10% of average weekday ridership,
Sunday service wauld generate about 750 passengers per week. Therefore,
apparently it is reasonable to assume that over an entire year ridership would
average approximately 800 riders per Sunday, varying from a low of 500 riders
per Sunday in the summer to 1000 or more riders during the winter months.
Our cash revenue on Saturdays is very low, averaging only 15.4 cents per rider.
This very low figure is due not only to the Saturday fare of 25¢, but also to the
large number of pass holders who are prepaid and the elderly and handicapped
persons who ride free all day. If we assume that Sunday revenue would follow the
same general trend, about 15 cents per passenger, additional cash revenue wauld
average about 5120 per Sunday. Also, the availability of Sunday bus service may
encourage more people to buy monthly passes, and some additianal revenue will be
generated in that manner.
COST
The marginal cost of bus service on Sunday will be relatively the same on an
hourly basis as our regular weekday operations, slightly under $22 per bus hour.
The cost breakdown is as follows:
Drivers' Wages (56.75/hour + benefits) = S 499
Bus Maintenance (804/mile - includes fuel,
parts, mechanic's labor, etc) = E 591
Support Staff (dispatcher, maintenance
workers, extra driver on-call) _ $ 164
Miscellaneous supplies, utilities, etc. = S 50
TOTAL =
The fares projected for additional Sunday service will be perhaps $170 ($120 in
cash, plus an additional E50 in extra monthly pass sales). At this level, we
will cover 13% of our costs from the farebox.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Labor Considerations:
1. Bus drivers have mixed feelings about Sunday work. Although it is not an
attractive day to work, it will allow some drivers two days off in a row,
something they currently do not have.
2.
3.
Transit office employees, particularly those with families, are very upset
by the prospect of having to work Sundays. ,
The Transit mechanics feel that their Division is a 5-day operation; they
are likely to insist on premium pay for Sunday work.

^
4. Although the addition of Sunday service would reflect well on Iowa City
Transit, it �s doubtful if the present organization and facilities can
handle the extra work.
Public Considerations:
1. Buses running once an hour will serve flexible-time trips (shopping,
library, etc.) best; fixed-time trips (church services, movies) will be
served less well. Work trips will be poorly served, except perhaps for
part-time employees in the downtown area.
Z there will be an averageeoftfour pass ngere on the b ssatneny onertime,hour,
3. Any breakdowns on Sunday will impact our ability to put buses on the street
on Monday morning. With only three spare buses, we can ill afford to have
any major problems on Sunday.
4. Sunday bus service will be a comnunity service, operated at a considerable
loss mainly to 6enefit those persons without access to d Private auto. It
wi11 be a source of pride for transit supporters, a cause for derision by
t'ransit opponents.
RECOMMENDATION
At the present time the Transit Manager cannot recommend that Sunday bus service
be implemented. The limited potential for ridership, the high cost of providing
the service, and the possible negative effects on our overall operation seem to
greatly outweigh the potential benefits of Sunday service.

ME�VIOR
Date: October 23, 1981
To; City Council and City Council Candidates
From: The Iowa City Housing Commissiun
Re: Funding for Housing Programs
The Housing Commission has spent considerable time and effort studying and
determining housing needs in the community. Recommendations have been
provided to Council concerning allocation of CDBG funds and projects for
the C1P. Recent events have caused some concern that allocated dallars
from the 1982 calendar year CDBG dollars would be diverted to the North
Branch Dam Project. further, that the potential for not funding proposed
housing programs in the CIP was being considered.
The .Commission held a Special Meeting on October 21 and 22 to obtain
current information and to reaffirm to Council goals and objectives as
they relate to housing.
The Housing Commission understands that there is� going to be a need to
rethink all program dollars. We would like to advise you what we had in
mind when we set the budget for these projects.
Since CIP money is not always identified as far as funding sources, we
understand the Council has these sources in mind:
FUNDING SOURCES
Tax Exempt Bonding
The Housing Commission is being asked by the Department of Planning
and Program Development to recommend sites for consideration by the
City Council for Industrial Revenue Bonds. It is conceivable that
some of the following programs could tie greatly enhanced by such
financing opportunities. As the Commission is aware, up until very
recently, the City Council had a specific prohibition against
utilizing Industrial Revenue 8onds for projects involving
residential use. However, with the recent preliminary approval of a
mixed use development on Burlington and Linn Streets involving three
apartments, and with the proposal for a large apartment complex to be
built on lands adjoining the Small Cities grant area east of Gilbert
Street, there appears to be a willingness on the part of the City
Council to consider Industrial Revenue Bonds for residential uses.
General Obli9ation Bonds
General Obligations Bonds are issued by the City of Iowa City to
perfarm a number of Capital Improvement Projects such as rotramt
replacements and improvements or the downtown landscaping p 9
The present demand for "brick and mortar" CIP projects are far in
MiCROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
LEDAR RAPI�S•DES 1401NE5
1�9�
�_�
1
excess of our bonding ceilings and make the above housing projects
less desirable unless, the benefit of recapturing expended monies is
seen as a positive benefit of financing the proposed housing
ventures. By this I mean, a newly constructed street, whether bonded
or not, is money spent and cannot be recaptured. However, if public
money is used to purchase land and that land is later sold to a
developer, the City stands to recapture all of the monies advanced,
or in the case of a writedown of property, a portion of the monies
advanced. This latter approach enables the City to utilize monies
twice. First for projects such as housing, which allow the
possibility for recapture, and secondly, for "brick and mortar," a
one time expenditure.
In-Kind Contributions
As indicated in the earlier project discussion of public housing, the
City of Iowa City has, in the past, offered a degree of in-kind
contribution to housing projects by offering City-owned property as
potential sites for public housing. A utiiization of vacated streets
rights-of-way and the old water tower site are examples of a type of
in-kind contribution that did not give the entire value of the land
over to housing, but did enable the projects to be completed by
selling the land to a developer at values less than the marketplace.
Such arrangements could, of course, be continued in FY1982.
Projects such as congregate housing will require construction sites
of a size and dollar amount far in excess of those necessary to meet
our current modest public housing endeavors. Potential construction
sites are presently owned by the City and could be "set aside" for
housing in lieu of a cash outlay of capital improvement dollars as
requested in the FY82 budget. Land, so reserved for housing, could
then be either given to a developer willing to construct a L'ity-
approved housing project for low and moderate incame persons, could
be made part of a City-sponsored development project or could be sold
ta a developer, either for profit or non-profit, with attractive
financing arrangements to make certain that the housing project is
economically feasible and acceptable to HUD, the State of Iowa, or
whatever additional sponsoring agencies are involved.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL:
1. That CDBG funds for FY82, specifically the $129,000 allocated for
Housing Rehabilitation and the $12,000 for Code Enforcement be left
alone, as they are, for those specific items, due to the fact that
Housing Rehabilitation deals specifically with improving the quality
of housing in our community, not only for the elderly, but ultimately
those houses will remain livable, restored, and not deteriorating.
Moved by Karstens, seconded by Farran, approved 4/0.
2. That the CIP funds for FY82, specifically the $250,000 allocated and
approved by Council for Assisted Housing be utilized for the
following purposes:

PROJECTS
Congreqate Housinq
The recent workshop on congregate housing conducted by the
iHousing Commission helped define the problem of elderly and
ndependent living and arehnotaready for,nurs�ng ca�re.a�Workshop
recommendations are' scheduled for review and action by the
Housing Commission task force on congregate housing and will
most likely require not only a commitment to act from the City
Council, but financial assistance in the form of loans, grants,
donations of City-owned land, or ongoing financial support.
Emeraencv Housinq
The Housing Commission has expressed a desire to program for
support to persons needing emergency housing, especially
transients and abused children and spouses. In an attempt to
help define the problem, the Housing Commission has opened
dialogue with the task farce of the Ecumenical Consultation of
Iowa City, an organization of Iowa City area churches who share
the Housing Commission's concern for providing emergency
housing opportunities. The Housing Commission has agreed to
convene a task force in early 1982 to study and recommend action
on the emergency housing problem.
Like the Spouse Abuse Shelter, it is conceivable that the
Housing Commission may be asking for a portion of the FY82-CIP
funds to be utilized in addressing the problems of emergency
housing.
Pub 1 i'��q.
The Housing Authority of the City of Iowa City has entered into
a contract with Hallmark Homes to constr�ct 32 units of public
housing utilizing the Turnkey approach. Six of the units are
being built on land previously owned by the City. These lands,
three vacated street rights-of-way and a site that once held the
Wntlieu�ofrpropertyataxes, revenue thatndidanot co e� in before
the housing development.
Iawa City has received approval for an additional 20 units of
public housing, however, without government assistance in
obtaining land, the cost of development and construction wi11
make further completion of public housing in excess of HUD
prescribed construction ceilings and therefore economically
infeasible.
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAA RAPIDS•�ES IAOINES
�
�
�1::�
i�
To assure the construction of additional units of pub]'ic
housing, the Housing Commission will have to continue to
encourage additional support from the City of Iowa City in the
form of land donations or write downs of potential construction
sites already owned by the City, such as street rights-of-way,
parks, or ather City owned property. Another method that is
being utilized in Phase II of the existing allocation of public
housing units is to have the City purchase buildable land in the
marketplace and resell the land to a Turnkey developer at a
write-down.
Moderate Rehabilitation Section 8
The City of Iowa City presently only has assisted tenants under
Section 8 in existing privately owned dwellings that are in
compliance with the Iowa City Housing Code. In calendar year
1982, the City will be broadening their assistance program to
include 30 units of Moderate Rehabilitation Section 8. To
qualify for Moderate Rehabilitation Section 8 rental
assistance, a property owner must be willing to make
improvements to an existing property in order to bring the
structure into compliance with HUD Section 8 standards; (for
Iowa City it will be our Housing Code standards).
To encourage the repairs, HUD will enter into a 15-year
agreement to provide a Section 8 Rental Subsidy to the low
income tenants residing in the repaired structure. In an
attempt to offset the financing costs of the repair
construction, Moderate Rehabilitation rental allowance payments
are higher than that allowed for Existing Section 8. However,
current principal and interest payback rates on home
improvement loans will make the Moderate Rehabilitation Program
undesirable unless participating owners have other sources for
financing repairs, such as savings or life insurance loans. The
City will have to provide attractive loans to the property
owners lacking private funding sources similar to the owner-
occupied rehabilitation loan programs of the Community
�evelopment Block Grant Program.
HUO Section 312 loans cannot be utilized in conjunction with
Section 8.
New Construction Section 8
The New Construction Section 8 program is similar to the
previously discussed Moderate Rehabilitation Section 8 program
with the major difference being that a private developer would
build dwellings with the expressed intent of entering into
Housing Assistance Payments with the Department of Housing and
Urban Develapment for 20 years such that low income tenants
residing in the newly constructed dwelling units would receive
MICROFILMEU BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEUAR RAPIDS•UES Id0INE5
1595/
4
�
rental assistance payments to offset the higher rents
anticipated and approved by HUD for newly built dwellings. To
date, for the same reasons as expressed earlier in discussing
Moderate Rehabilitation Section 8, developers have been
disinterested in building new dwellings for Section 8
assistance since land acquisition and construction costs demand
fair-market rents in excess of those allowed by HUD.
It is conceivable that with donated or underwritten land costs,
and/or lower interest construction financing coming from the
City of Iowa City, private developers could be encouraged to
enter into the assisted housing program. In order to accomplish
this, the Housing Commission would have to recommend to the City
Council that loans, grants or donatians of City land would have
to be considered to capture New Construction Section 8 hausing
assistance from HUU.
Rehabilitation
Actual experience in the present Rehabilitation program over
the last four years indicated that, although we experienced a
high level of program success in being able to rehabilitate
existing single-family homes to the Housing Code standards, on
occasion properties are so in need of repair that it is not
feasible to rehabilitate them to the current code standards
with existing HUD Loan Programs or City-sponsored grants. It is
most difficult to turn away people in greatest need, therefore
we recommend that monies be set aside to purchase properties
infeasible for rehabilitation and with proper relocation of the
existing homeowners into sound housing, the former housing site
be utilized for public housing or other such appropriate public
purposes as neighborhood parks.
3. That the Housing Commission would encourage the City Council to use
Industrial Revenue Bonds for residential uses.
SUMMARY
We are willing to discuss with you any or all of the projects for
inclusion in FY82 and future projects and would like to pursue jointly
with you the various funding sources outlined in our report. Of course,
if we cannot capture all of the dollars estimated for this program year,
we would at least encourage you to give us a strong enough commitment to
pursue our priorities:
1. Congregate Housing
2. Emergency Housing

3. Public Housing
As you have demonstrated in the past a willingness to cooperate with our
goals by offering to us City-owned properties, we would encourage you to
open up a dialogue with us on a possible site for Congregate Housing.
With the momentum to date, and with a strong commitment from the City
Council, we assure you that we will have a meaningful project proposal for
the Council this fiscal year.

INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION
OCTOBER 26, 1981
INfORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION: October 26, 1981, 3:05 P,M. in the Conference
Room at the Civic Center. Mayor John Balmer presiding. Staffinembers
present: Berlin, Stolfus, Helling, Jansen, Boothroy, Keller, Lundell,
Mose, Davidsen.
COUNCIL14Eh18ERS PRESENT: Balmer, Erdahl, Neuhauser, Perret, Roberts, Vevera.
A6sent: Roberts.
TAPE-RECORDED on Reel �81-13, Side 1, 502-1303.
APPLICATIONS TO PLANNING AND ZONING COM�4ISSION
Plum Grove Acres, Inc, request for rezoning of 7.3A tract. Boothroy ex-
p aine tie sta f recomnendation to divide the R1A zoned tract into two
parts: the 4.46A tract to the north to R3 zone, the 2.86A tract to the
south to R3 zone. Glasgow has amended his petition to conform to the.
Staff recommendation and has waived the 45 da. liinitation. At the P&Z
meeting, residents noted concerns re storm water runoff. Berlin said
that the staff would solve the issue re Shamrock St. Council does not
want it to go thru to the new Scott Boulevard. Glasgow has made improve-
ments for sewer.
Universitv Baptist Church Keller explained the rezoning from R1A to�R3
of the 4A tract for multi-family use. This conforms to the Comprehensive
Plan. Residents were concerned with the storm water runoff, and have
filed a petition objecting to the rezoning. If the petition is official,
a 3/4 vote of Council �aill be needed to adopt the rezoning ordinance.
Stori�ater management will be considered when the development plans come
thru. Randall Miller, representing the University Baptist Church, stated
that they do not plan to develop the tract, are only selling the land.
There were no objections to setting of a public hearing at the Nov. lOth
meeting.
AGENDA - COUNCIL TIME
Balmer stated that he agreed with the recommendations in Transit
Manager's memo and suggested that Mose could submit suggestions on
an on-going basis. Mose replied that it took manpower and time to
study the situations,and he had had help from Lundell and Davidson
to make it possible.
Vevera called attention to the memo from the Housing Comm. and suggestea
meeting with them and CCN on the issues mentioned. It was noted that
Council had previously decided that it was premature to make any
decisions. City Manager Berlin stated that the staff had been instruct-
ed to proceed with land acquisision, preparation of plans and bidding,
and when all was ready, probably next Spring, assess where we stand.
In the meantime, by Dec. lst, the Block Grant application would be
filed, staff and CCN would look at the alternatives available, but it
would be on hold until all the information is together. Also Council
will need to consider the CIP plan. This information will be trans-
mitted to CCN and Housing Commission.

Informal Council
October 26, 1981
4. Neuhauser noted disappointment with the number of requests outlined in
the letter to the Chamber of Commerce,in view of the budget�situation.
She suggested that offers of assistance from them were needed and sugges-.
tions on how to pay for the improvements. Berlin advised that parking
ramp issues would be taken care of. Neuhauser discussed creation of a
maintenance district or levy of hotel-motel tax. Perret noted concern
re sidewalk at Old Capitol Center. The Mayor stated that these issues
will be discussed at budget time.
BICYCLE TRAFFIC IN TRANSIT INTERCHANGE AREA ' 800-1235
Mayor Balmer questioned if all the alternatives had been ex.plored, and if
the problem had been discussed with the University. Davidsen related his
discussion with the University Facilities Planner, who was negative to using
any of the Pentacrest area. City Attorney Jansen's legal opinion �vas noted.
Bruce Goddard representing Bicyclists of Iowa City and Shelley Plattner
were present for the discussion. Council agreed to the suggestion to have
the issue added to the agenda for the City/University staff ineeting, tviih
representatives for the bicyclists invited for the discussion. ' i
SHELLER-GLODE HEARING 1235-1'302
Regarding the Sheller-Globe hearing, Neuhauser questioned uihether or not the
City Attorney would be functioning as Council's legal counsel or as the
prosecutor. Jansen replied that he �aould be the prosecutor, and Y.hat the
role of the Council is viewed as an administrative process and no independent �
advise would be needed. He stated he was being very circumspect, and not �
discussing the merits of the case, only the framework of the procedure,
which will be explained to Council later.
Meeting adjourned, 4:10 P.M.

properties for the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborliood Revitalization �l.s�
Project: 201 E. Benton Street, 912 S. Dubuque Street, and 914 S. �ubuque

which led the Committee to consider possible cutbacks in the program which
would not result in a loss of flood protection. (The estimated cost
savings to the project is $209,000.) (Z) That there are no problems
which can be eliminated from the (1982 CD4G) budget at this time in order
to provide additional funds for the Ralston Creek North Branch Dam.

(1) That the City not acquire the following properties for
the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Revitalization
Proiect: 201 E. Benton Street, 912 S. Dubuque Street,
and 914 S. Dubuque Street. This recommendation was
made in light of the current austerity which led the
Committee to consider possible cutbacks in the program
�which would not result in a loss of flood protection.
(The estimated cost savings to the pro;ect is E209,000
(2) That there are no programs which can be eliminated from
the (1982 CDBG) budget at this time in order to provide
additional funds for the Ralston Creek North Branch
Dam.

A resolution authorizing an agreement for the acquisition of
right-of-way required for Benton Street/Riverside Drive improvements
was approved by the City Council at the October 6, 1981, meeting.
However, IDOT inadvertantly overlooked including the 50/50 cost
sharing in that agreement. This resolution rescinds the agreement
approved previously and authorizes the Mayor to sign and the City
Clerk to attest an agreement in which.the IDOT wi11 acquire all
right-of-way for the proposed improvements on a 50/50 cost
sharing arrangement and the City will accept title thereto.

Comnent:
Action:
Approval of the sub�ect resolution would abolish the Development
Programs Coordinator position and a Planner I position and
establish two Planner II positions. It is the department's
intentions to eliminate the Uevelopment Programs Division and
place the functions of that division in the Plan Administration
Division under the coordination of the Planner II positions
established. This action will result in cost savings of 54,500
for FY82.

Item No. 22 - CONSI�ER RESOLUTION AMENDING THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED PERMANENT
POSITIONS IN THE FINANCE UEPARTMENT - PARKING DIVISION.
Cortment: The original FY83 budget for the Parking Division included 573,220
for security guard services for both parking ramps. The Parking
Division discantinued the use of security guards several months
ago and assigned some security duties to the night maintenance
staff. The Parking Division has found that the presence of night
maintenance staff in the ramps is sufficient for security purposes,
but the additional responsibilities have r•educed the hours they
have available for actual ramp maintenance. The increase in
Maintenance Worker I positions requested will provide the necessary
hours for the proper level of ramp maintenance and the cost of
these positians at E24,752 is well below the amount originally
budgeted for security services. This change is in accordance
with the discussion.of maintenance services for the ramps which
was included in the memorandum provided to the Chamber of Commerce
several weeks ago.

OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY, IONA. (first consideration)
Comnent: Section 364.4, Code of Iowa,.provides that "a city may enact and
enforce ordinances relating to city property and city-extended
� services outside the city." Since the City landfill is located
���'�-.�=— outside the City limits, it is necessary to enact this ordinance
to give the City jurisdiction at the landfill to deal with littering

bonds, was for the paving and storm drainage in the B.D.I. develop-
ment. As bids previously received for the sale of these bonds came
in too high, the only alternative at this time was that the bonds
would be issued, at 10%, to the contractor who currently is holding
the warrants at 7%. Neuhauser requested a report from the Staff
on how the applicant met the criteria as requested by Cit 1'
Ypotcy.
City Manager called attention to the Press Release being distributed
regarding the City's receipt of federal matching grant for energy
conservation.
Hauer distributed to Council the report from consultant Zuchelli
regarding redevelopment opportunities for the former public library
building. Copies of this report will sell for ql.
fUNDING FOR THE NORTH BRANCH DAM
� Mayor Balmer called attention to the memo from Schmeiser in the packet
entitled Reallocation of Metro Entitlement CDBG Funds, and expressed
i concern regarding the article in the Daily Iowan. He stated that at the
executive session mentioned, Council had decided to not discuss funding.
Berlin added that Council specifically asked.Staff to prepare a report
i regarding other sources for funding and was why this discussion had been
scheduled. In answer to Erdahl's question regarding the bond market,
� Berlin replied that there was no reason to believe high quality bonds
� couldn't be sold on the market, but there were two issues, the cost, and
this amount of money, what it does to the overall schedule of debt as you
look at other projects.
2009-End
Berlin summarized the discussion as follows: The land could be acquired
this fall, plans and specifications would be started, finished next Spring
with a detailed estimate on construction costs. At that time, determine
how to finance the cost of the dam. Staff and the Cormnission could go back
through the Block Grant programs, knowing what the Council's general interest
is, seeing what flexibility they have next Spring. There was general agreement.

2. Councilmembers also agreed with the memo regarding the sale of Elm

3. Councilmembers discussed whether or not agenda material should be
stapled. Many did not mind if copies of material were printed on

APPLICATIONS TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMI9ISSION
Plum Grove Acres, Inc. request for rezoning of 7.3A tract. Boothroy ex-
p aine tie sta recomnendation to divide the R1A zoned tract into two
parts: the 4.46A tract to the north to R3 zone, the 2.86A tract to the
south to R3 zone. Glasgow has amended his petition to conform to the
Staff recortmendation and has waived the 45 da. limitation. At the P&Z
meeting, residents noted concerns re storm water runoff. Berlin said
that the staff would solve the issue re Shamrock St. Council does not
want it to go thru to the new Scott Boulevard. Glasgow has made improve-
ments for sewer.
Universitv Baptist Church Keller explained the rezoning from R1A to R3
of the 4A tract for multi-family use. This conforms to the Comprehensive
Plan. Residents were concerned with the storm water runoff, and have
filed a petition objecting to the rezoning. If the petition is official,
a 3/4 vote of Council will be needed to adopt the rezoning ordinance.
Storrtwater management w.ill be considered when the development plans come
thru. Randall Miller, representing the University Baptist Church, stated
that they do not plan to develop the tract, are only selling the land.
There were no objections to setting of a public hearing at the Nov. lOth
meeting.
AGENDA - COUNCIL TIME
l. Balmer stated that he agreed with the recomnendations in Transit
Manager's memo and suggested that Mose could submit suggestions on
an on-going basis. Mose replied that it took manpower and time to
study the situations,and he had had help from Lundell and Davidson
to make it possible.
2. Vevera called attention to the memo from the Housing Cormn, and suggested
meeting with them and CCN on the issues ment9oned. Tt was noted that
Council had previously decided that it was premature to make any
decisions. City Manager Berlin stated that the staff had been instruct-
ed to proceed with land acquisision, preparation of plans and bidding,
and when all was ready, probably next Spring, assess where we stand.
In the meantime, by Dec. lst, the Block Grant application would be
filed, staff and CCN would look at the alternatives available, but it
would be on hold until all the information is together. Also Council
will need to consider the CIP plan. This information will be trans-
mitted to CCN and Housing Commission.

SHELLER-GI.OBE HEARING 1235-1'302
Regarding the Sheller-Globe hearing, Neuhauser questioned whether or not the
City Attorney would be functioning as Council's legal counsel or as the
prosecutor. �ansen replied that he would be the prosecutor, and that the
role of the Council is viewed as an administrative process and no independent
advise would be needed. He stated he was being very circumspect, and not
discussing the merits of the case, only the framework of the procedure,
which wi11 be explained to Council later.

Page 1. Under the heading Public Oiscussion:
Mr. Phipps brought up a 4th of July incident of a 160 horsep'ower mercury
speedboat swamping canoes and inner tubes along the Iowa River and discussed the
serious erosion problem along the River's banks due to high-powered boats.

Knight stated that Chief Keating had stated support for an additional boat
ramps.
Gilpin stated that, in his opinion, the greatest stumbling block to building a
boat ramp is the Parks & Recreation Commission. Gilpin stated that support
probably existed in the present City Council. Gilpin mentioned possible reasons
for the non-supportive position af the Parks & Recreation Commission as 1) Parks
& Recreation Commission was against big baats because they cause erosion, and 2)
unloading big boats block traffic. Gilpin stated that more erosion was caused
by the Corps of Engineers raising and lowering the water level of the Coralville
Reservoir and as far as traffic being blocked by boat trailers and loading big
boats, Gilpin seemed to think that that use would be limited so as not to cause
problems.
Gilpin discussed problems encountered with the "rickety old boat ramp" and
recommended building either a new cement ramp or fixing the present ramp into a
usable condition. Gilpin su�qgested limiting the speed limit to five miles per
hour on the river or placing no wake signs and reminded the members of a method
used in the past which called for chaining the ramp to limit usage. Gilpin
recommended that River vessels observe a speed limit of five miles per hour and
that an enforcement boat be launched to enforce the speed limit.
Knight outlined for Keating the background of the traffic and motor problems on
the River. Gilpin stated that rafts and canoes make the problems encountered on
the River more difficult. Keating briefly outlined the events leading up to the
purchase of a new 18 foot boat by the Fire Department and stated that a good ramp
for launching the boat was essential. Keating stated that he currently relied
on two people from the Police or Sheriff's Departments for assistance in
launching the boat, in addition to the two people assigned from the Fire
Department. Franklin asked if the boat could be launched with just the two
people from the Fire Oepartment. Keating stated that while that might be
possible near Sturgis Ferry, it was not possible between Crandic Park and
Burlington Street. Knight.recollected the incidents involving a boy in a drain
pipe and asked how the boat would have been launched then. Keating stated that
they had a 14 footer at�that time and the boat would have been launched by sheer
manpower. Keating stated that the new 18 footer required a minimum of four
people to iaunch and was supportive of some type of boat ramp being located
between the Iowa City Dam and the Coralville Dam. Gilpin stated that one needed
a four-wheel drive vehicle to use the existing ramps unless the water level was
ideal. Franklin asked if there was any way with just two people to respond in a
"first response situation" between the Burlington Street �am and.the Coralville
Power Dam. Keating said no, adding that they relied on a rapid.response for
assistance from the Police or Sheriff's Department. Gilpin asked if the motor
was kept on the launch at all times. Keating said yes and mentioned the training
sessions currently being used by the Fire Departments to familiarize members
with the launching procedures. Johnsan asked how many calls were responded to
this past summer. Keating could not recall any. Knight recalled an incident a
few years ago involving a man in a canoe going over the Burlington Street Dam.
Keating stated that with the larger boat, it would be impossible to launch at
the Hydraulic Lab and that it was frustrating trying to find a place to launch a
boat when time was of the essence.

Oehmke asked where would be the best location for a boat ramp. Keating stated
that somewhere between City Park and the Memorial Union would be good or at the
present site of the current ramp. Keating stated that there was more boating
activity between the Memorial Union and City Park than between Rocky Shore Road
and the Coralville Dam.
Gilpin stated that a good place for a ramp would be near the Mayflower
Apartments. Keating recommended putting a ramp where the River is being used
most heavily. Sokol agreed. Gilpin asked about working out an agreement with
Parks & Recreation Commission about funding. Humbert stated that if a ramp was
placed in City Park, the Parks & Recreation Commission would have to give their
approval. Gilpin stated that the Parks & Recreation Commission would give the
same negative response as in the past and suggested that the Riverfront
Commission bypass Parks & Recreation Commission and go straight to the City
Council. Humbert stated that as a representative from Parks & Recreation
Commission, any attempt not to cooperate with Parks & Recreation Commission
would be like a slap in the face. Gilpin wondered how the Riverfront Commission
could keep going back again and again. Franklin asked Humbert for any
suggestions for addressing the safety question Parks & Recreatian Commission was
most concerned with - that of mare high-powered boats using the ramp. Humbert
suggested that if the ramp was to be restricted solely for safety reasons, then
the Commission should consider putting it where the Fire Oepartment could have
control over it rather than in City Park.
Johnson wondered how many fishermen would utilize the ramp, considering all the
disturbance made by rafts and canoes. Gilpin stated that rafts and canoes were
mostly on the River on Sundays and holidays while fishermen fished at low
traffic times. Sokol stated that an average of two fishermen per day would be a
pretty high estimate. Gilpin said yes, under the present ramp conditions.
Knight asked Humbert about Parks & Recreation Commission's concern about boat
trailers. Humbert stated that boat trailers caused traffic congestian. Sokol
wondered if any decision concerning a boat ramp would have to go into the
Capital Improvements Plan budget. Franklin advised that Parks & Recreation
Commission be consulted and that the Riverfront Commission decide what kind of
ramp they wanted, if any, and how to address the safety yuestion. Franklin
mentioned a few possibilities for funding depending on the decision reached by
the Riverfront Commission, including partial funding by the Iowa Conservation
Commission. Franl<lin reviewed the current procedure for handling safety hazards
on the River and stated that Tim Dorr, Iowa Conservation Commission, agreed with
Keating that a launching ramp was needed for safety reasons. The members
discussed the problems of consulting with the Parks & Recreation Commission.
Franklin stated that if the safety question and the issue of conflicting uses on
the River could be resolved, the Parks & Recreation Commission's major objection
in the past - that of a ramp encouraging more motorboats - would be addressed and
possibly resolved. Sokol wondered if a sketch or site plan for the new ramp
could be obtained. Franklin suggested writing a staff report for next month's
meeting, which, upon approval, could be forwarded to the Parks & Recreation
Commission. Sokol asked about amendments to the Iowa City Code cancerning the
speed/power of boats, etc.

Knight asked how the boat trailer parking problem could be resolved. Johnson
wondered at the park philosophy concerning boat trailers.' Humbert stated that
the traffic patterns of City Pzrk was the problem, not the trailers themselves,
stating that the parking lot was not designed for baat trailers. Fountain asked
if the Riverfront Commission was being consistent with its safety ideas in
favoring a ramp. Fountain expressed concern over the possibility of increased
traffic causing a greater number of accidents. Keating wondered if there would
be a great increase in use if there was a better ramp, stating that most boaters
took their boats to the•Lake McBride area and the Coralville Reservoir. Gilpin
said that the ramps would be of the most use to the occasional fishermen, in
particular retired persons, and reminded the Commissioners that one of their
goals was to provide access and encourage use of the River.
Oehmke moved that the Riverfront Commission pursue the feasibility of installing
a boat ramp for unrestricted use somewhere in City Park. Muldoon seconded.
Franklin asked if the staff report should address the problem of restricted use.
Oehmke said no. Sokol said unrestricted use would make Iowa Conservation
Commission money available. Oehmke said that the ramp should be open to all who
satisfy the speed limit or some such thing. Sokol asked if motor size would be
restricted. Oehmke said no, unrestricted use of a ram was bein su ested but
laws could limit action on t e�iver. Johnson as� i�a�si i�tu�y
c�d be done to decide where tTie ramp would go.
The motion to pursue the feasibility of.installing a boat ramp for unrestricted
use somewhere in City Park carried with six members in favor and Humbert
abstaining.
Gilpin wondered about�the possibility of having a boat ramp just for safety
reasons if this approach failed. Oehmke asked what the minimum requirement for
a ramp would be. Keating suggested a gravelled sloping ramp would be the
minimum type of ramp desired. Gilpin mentioned the maintenance problems
encountered with a gravel ramp. Keating left at this point.
Oehmke suggested that the Commission consult with the Parks & Recreation
Commission about the location and maintenance-free construction of a ramp.
Sokol suggested looking for the least objectionable place for the ramp. Knight
asked about using the Terrill Mill side of the city. Gilpin stated that
although steep, it might be a good location.
The members discussed the possibility of using Terrill Mill as a location for
the boat ramp.
DISCUSSION OF CONFLICT IN USE ON RIVER AND PRESENTATION TO COUNCIL:
Franklin discussed possible methods for the presentation on conflict in use on
River to the City Council, suggesting that the Riverfront Commission discuss
recommendations concerning what they'd like to see in force at next month's
meeting. Franklin asked if the members were satisfied with the present
ordinances -- no vehicle shall be operated in a reckless manner so as to
endanger life, limb or property -- or did they wish to draft new ordinances.

Knight stated that Franklin had contacted the Chief of Police �concerning the
Riverfront Commission's concern about lack of enforcement. The Chief of Police
sent around a memo to staff directing all officers and dispatchers to forward
reports of complaints on the River to Franklin and the Iowa Conservation
Cammission.
Humbert stated that no new ordinance was needed, just the present one in force.
Knight said that there was an enforcement problem because the present enforcer
was Tim Dorr of the Iowa Conservation Commission who experienced response delays
due to the distance which must be travelled and the lack of a launch facility.
Humbert stated that the City ordinance could be enforced by the Police
Department. Franklin said that the Police Department had the jurisdiction to
enforce the ordinance. Sokol reminded the members that the police could also
enforce the state law concerning vehicles traveling at 5 mph or less within 250
feet of a vehicle Eraveling at 5 mph or less. Sokol stated that while it was
often impossible to be greater than 250 feet from another vehicle on the River,
perhaps limiting motor size would work and reduce erosion problems at the same
time.
Franklin asked if it was the consensus of the group that some kind of speed limit
be imposed between the Coralville Power Dam and the Burlington Street Dam.
Oehmke said that either a speed limit or a no wake ordinance should be imposed.
Johnson said it was almost impossible to enforce speed limit on the river.
Fountain stated that if a speed limit could not be enforced why recommend it?
Knight said that just the idea of having a speed limit, while difficult to •
enforce, might deter speeders. Sokol stated that if a new boat ramp increased
use, perhaps there would be more interest in enforcement. Muldoon stated that
it might be easier to enforce a speed limit if there was a boat ramp.
Sokol recommended tightening up the language of the ordinance to make it more
enforceable, and suggested limiting speed as related to the current.
Sokol expressed eoncern over

OATA COLLECTION SYSTEM - BETTE MEISEL �
Rosemary Vitosh, Iowa City Finance Director, says the Senior Center data
will not be able to be put on the computer until the first of the year.
Some service providers are not encouraging seniors to sign their numbers.
Therefore, the statistical information gathered during the first month of
operation is likely to be incomplete.
OUTREACH - BETTE MEISEL AND MIKE KATTCHEE
M. Kattchee had no report on the Senior Center Post. B. Meisel announced
that•one group of journalism students are developing a slide show from
slides taken at the Center. Another group of journalism students are
working on a presentation to convince the Press-Citizen publisher to
institute an Age Page something like the one in the Cedar Rapids Gazette.

The Adult Day Health Care application was discussed. Ooreen Elniski
passed out information on the budget and the advisory committee. Tom Walz
explained that the current program at Gloria Dei involved 11 frail elderly
for two mornings a week. There is one staff inember or volunteer for every
two elderly people. The daily schedule involves receiving the elderly
with refreshments and greetings at 9:00 AM; exercises, and a creative
program until lunch which is held at Congregate Meals in the Senior
Center; a short gathering after lunch and then the elderly are returned to
their homes in the early afternoan. Mr. Walz is concerned that some fair
share of the Senior Center activities be allotted to these older people
who are more frail. B. Meisel spoke of attending a day care sessian and

the volunteers toward each other. G. Scott explained that the classroort
is fully scheduled at the present time but there will be more room when
the exercise room on the second floor is carpeted and available for use.
Neai Berlin mentioned the staff was working to get the carpeting in the
room as soon as possible. The Commission felt they should postpone the
decision about allotting space for the Adult Day Health Care program
because of the current lack of available space.
The application of Carol Spaziani to coordinate public library service

to hang master of art students' work sponsored by the University of Iowa
was approved.
ELDERCRAFT SHOP - MARGARET CLOVER

SERVICE PROVIDERS REPORT - MARGARET CLOVER
At the service providers meeting held September 25, L. Benz asked
providers for written descriptions af volunteer oppartunities in their
agencies. If the Centei• encounters volunteers with these interests, they
can be referred. Clover noted resistance by two providers relative to
data collection and program coordination. Ways to improve the meetings
were discussed, including less frequent meetings, encouraging only
service providers to be present at meetings, not board members. The
Commission wi11 discuss these concerns again at the next monthly meeting.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL AC7IONS TAKEN:

7he meeting time was changed to the first and third Wednesday of each
month. However, the next meeting wi11 be on October 14.
Buildinq Enerw La6e1��Q ��es S�hoenfelder
Jim Schoenfelder, from Central States Energy Research Corporation, was
present to discuss the existing Iowa Energy Code, current building
reportedsthat mostlbuilders�choose thesprescriptiveu s a�ndardsratherethan
the performance standard when complying with the Iowa Energy Code in new
construction. The Code is not that hard to meet.
7o determine compliance, the design heat loss for the building is
calcu7ated. Design heat loss indicates the performance under the worst
conditions only. No solar factars enter into the calculation. To do what
is called an annual performance and solar load calculation costs about $135
compared to about $35 for a standard plan review for a single family house.
Could a performance standard be established for residences and then a
comparison made between heating with natural gas ar solar? Yes, such a
comparison can be made. The difficulty would be in establishing an
analysis procedure. A computer program could be set up to do the analysis
but it probably would cost $5,000-$10,000.
Is there a need for the City to require builders to post energy use of a new
home? There is an average of about 200 homes built in Iowa City per year.

Hotka reported that the average annual cost for heating many new homes is
running about $200 per year. If an additional $2,000 is spent on building
the home to cut the energy use in one-half, then at 15% interest they would
be spending $300 to save $100 per year. Additional problems are that
energy use in a home depends very much on the equipment installed and the
occupants' habits. The Iowa Energy Code seems to be doing a fairly good
job•and maybe it would be better to look at existing buildings.
Home Enerqy Audits (Residential Conservation Service - RCS)
This discussion was prompted by the article entitled "Iowans Give Cold
Shoulder to Energy-Savings Checkups" in the September 20, 1981, Des Moines
ea�Re ister. Iowa Cammerce Commission Chair Andrew Varley blamed half-
promotion by utilities for the poor response by the public. Hotka
felt this was unfair because the regulation requires utilities to perform
audits within 30 days after a person requests it and so utilities are
reluctant to push it too hard for fear af being overwhelmed by requests.
For an example, Iowa-Illinois Gas & Electric has three people trained to do
audits, each capable of doing two audits per day for a total of about 120
audits per month. They currently have 7,000 offers out. He felt that with
cold weather coming the interest in the program would pick up.
,
Other Business
Sheehan moved, Schwab secanded, that the Resources Conservation Commission
recommend that at'any time bus fares are raised, parking fees shall be
raised by an equal or greater percentage. Approved unanimously.
Sanders will talk to the City Manager concerning the employee incentive
program for energy conservation ideas.
For the next meeting the Commission asked that Jim Brachtel be invited to
discuss the traffic signal ideas raised at the joint meeti,ng with the City
Council.
The meeting adjourned at 9:20 PM.
Respectfully submitted, Roger Tinklenberg.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
President Zastrow convened the meeting at 4:15 p.m.
Minutes of the regular meeting of September 24, 1981 were approved as
recorded. Bartley/Immermann. Uisbursements for October 1 and
October 15, 1981 were approved. Gritsch/Bartley.
The Director reported on the following:
1. The fiscal year 1982 first quarter expenditure report clearly
indicates the library's problems: overspent in temporary hours and
underspent in library materials. With such a high volume of public
service there is no time to select and purchase new anrl replacement
materials. •
2. Plans for the Grand Opening Celebration during the month of November
are well underway. The public's response to this attempt to demon-
strate the capabilities of the new building and to highlight a
variety of library serdices should be helpful in the long-range
planning process.
3.' We are preparing our fourth annual letter to parents of Iowa City
school children. It alerts parents to the services of the library
and the Library Board's policy of making all library materials
available to users of all ages.
4. On January 26, 1982, ICPL will be the only Iowa site for attending
the American Library Association's first national teleconference.
One two-hour meeting will be telecast via satellite from ALA's mid-
winter conference in Denver. There will be one-way video and two-way

library's facilities wi11 be used frequently in the future by all
types of occupational and interest groups for this kind of economical
conferencing and continuing education.
5• People from all over the United States continue to visit the new
library and to examine its automated facilities. Last week visitors
from Mexico, Ohio, North Carolina, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Indiana
toured the library.
The Director further reported that the City Manager will be sending a
letter to various local service clubs listing gift fund ideas for various
City departments. She will.give the Manager items for the Library which
match the Board's policy of using gift monies to enlarge the collection.
The Director announced that she had been contacted by the State Library
office and told that a$17,000 grant might be available to the Iowa City
Public Library toward the purchase of a Kurzweil Reading Machine for use
� by the visually impaired. A lengthy discussion followed as to whether the
Library could afford the staff time that such a machine could require: 1)
to write the grant; 2) to train users when the machine is installed
i+ (estimated 10-12 hours training required for each individual); and 3) to
search for the particular material that each trained user would like to
"read" on the machine at each visit. The Director and Assistant Director
felt that the Library staff is already stretched to the maximum to cover
� all the public service areas of the building. A motion was made by
� Immermann to apply for the grant from the State Library. The motion died
for lack of a second.
The Oirector announced that she had not received a reply from Hawkeye
CableVision in response to the letter which she sent following meetings
with the architect and the contractor about the design capabilities of the
HVAC system as it relates to Hawkeye's leased area.
The President reported on the following:
1• . Announced the appointment of Dr. Peter Wallace to fill the unexpired
term of Randy Bezanson who resigned recently. Dr. Wallace was a
strong supporter of the Library during the referendum and has been a
contributor to the fund for the Parent/Child Resource Center in the
Children's Room of the new Library.
2. Gave a report of the Iowa Library Association meeting held recently
in Waterloo. Both Zastrow and Jean Bartley spoke very highly of the
content of the conference.
The Board reviewed the first quarter report of Goals and Objectives and
statistical summaries for FY82. This is the Library's primary planning
document for developing the FY83 budget.

The Board approved the preliminary draft of the FY83 budget since the
Program Statement and the requested doltar amounts must be turned in by
early November. Drum/Immermann.
The Director presented a list of possible options for reducing the volume
of service at the Library for the remainder of FY82. This was made
necessary by the continued high usage rate of the new building which
prevents the Library staff from performing daily tasks which are necessary
to maintain a high level of service. The options presented were:
1. Drop reciprocal service to all but Coralville residents by January 1,
1982. '
��
F
2. Require that patrons show an Iowa City Public Library card in order
to use in-house services at the AV �esk.
3. Open the second check-out lane only if eight or more persons are i
waiting. ; ;
4. Place a limit on the number of items thab can be checked out per
patron. �
� 5. Place limits on the types of uses allowed on institutional cards.
6. Shorten the service week by closing one morning per week.
� 7. Reduce the number of Children's programs from ten to 6 per week.
� 8. Do not initiate any additional new building service capabilities in
� the AV department during FY82.
i A motion was made to direct the staff to implement all of the above
options as soon as feasible. It was agreed that #4 will be done on a trial
� basis and its effect on circulation evaluated.
� The Board considered the FY83 contract fee for library service to rural
' Johnson County. Information on past and praposed fees was reviewed. The
Johnson County Board of Supervisors must receive the proposed fee by at
least January 1, 1982 to give them adequate time to consider bhe
proposal.

OTHER BUSINESS
Crum asked about the progress of the Mercer Park building. Showalter and Lee
responded that some special heavy-duty plumbing fixtures had to be ordered,
and have not yet arrived.
Crum also asked about the sale of walnut trees fran City Park. Showalter said
twelve dead or dying trees were sold this summer for $8,639; receipts 90 into
the city's general fund.
Crum expressed concern about the appearance of the public works area at the �
north end of Sturgis Ferry Park. Showalter replied that Riverfront had expressed
their concern about this problem to Neal eerlin, and that there may be something
in the works to resolve this prablem.
Wooldrik asked about the water consumption at City Park pool. The biggest single
reason was that two filler pipes had nearly disintegrated and were replaced. The
pool joints were also heavily caulked. This fall the pool was painted. There is
also a water leakage problem at Mercer; hopefully, caulking will take care of
some af this problem.
A question was raised about the attendance in cultural arts classes. Lee
responded that in order for the classes to be held, there must be enough people
registered to pay for the instructor.
Hillman asked about the proposed play equipment at Hickory Hill Park. Dean
relayed that no one attended the public meetin9 held on September 15 to express
their opinion, and that right now it did not appear to be a project the•Coimnission
should pursue.
Lee reported that Cindy Coffin had been hired to be the special populations
supervisor, replacing Mary Hoien.
The nomination committee recommended Riddle as Chair and Humbert as Vice Chair.
Moved by Dean to close nominations. Moved by 4looldrik to accept the slate

RECESS - 5:55 p.m.
RECONVENED - 6:10 p.m.
5) Emergency Housing - VanderZee recommended that the planned Emergency
Housing Workshop scheduled for November 18, 1981, be postponed
temporarily pending additional information on Ecumenical Consulta-
•-� tion's efforts and research, as well as financial commitment on part
of City and utilization of Crisis Center for referral. Moved by
VanderZee, seconded by Karstens, that Emergency Housing Workshop be
postponed until first of year. Approved 7/0.
6) Discussion Funding - Housing Commissioners raised questions and
concerns regarding possible toss of funding for housing projects
previously recommended by the Housing Commission and CCN. Clarifi-
cation of CIP and CDBG monies was provided by Hencin and Seydel.
Commissioners were advised that CIP Budget was never actually
approved by Council and that input is no longer to be solicited.
They were further advised that additional monies are being sought for
the North Branch Uam Project, and that CDBG monies are being looked
at for this purpose. Commission was informed that Council would be
discussing this Monday afternoon, October 5, 1981, at 3:30 p.m.
Consensus of Commissioners that all would attend and express their
concerns.
Haendel indicated she was "highly insulted and offended" that the
Housing Commission had not been informed that consideration was
being given to utilization of these monies for the dam project. She
further reiterated, We are a Commission of the people. How could
something this important pass by us when funding was already set
aside for these particular projects?"
Hencin advised decision has not been made, and that prior to making
such a decision it would be referred to the Housing Commission and
CCN, and that a public hearing would be required.
VanderZee reported they were not informed because discussion was
held in Executive Session during,the consideration of purchase of
land. VanderZee further reported the proposed dam would affect a
total of 67 houses from the 100 year flood, 34X occupied by law- and
middle-income persons.

1. That CDBG funds for FY82, specifically the $129,000 allocated
for Housing Rehabilitation and the $12,000 for Code Enforcement
be left alone, as they are, for those specific items, due to the
fact that Housing. Rehabilitation deals specifically with
improving the quality of housing in our community, not only for
the elderly, but ultimately those houses will remain livable,
restored, and not deteriorating. Moved by Karstens, seconded

2. That the CIP Funds for FY82, specifically the $250,000
allacated and approved by Council for Assisted Housing be
utilized for the following purposes: (see attached memo)
Motion Karstens, second Uennis, approved 4/0.

use Industrial Revenue Bonds for residential uses. Motion
Dennis, second Farran, approved 4/0.
Meeting to Order. Commission met informally from 5:00 to 5:30 while
awaiting a quorum. Chairperson Haendel called the meeting to order
at 5:30 p.m.
2. Chairperson Haendel explained the reason far calling the special
meeti�g was to clarify funding sources, define the budget process,
reaffirm goals, and set priorities. She expressed concerns for
existing programs as well as the projected programs that the
Commission has been working on for some time.
Hencin ivas questioned on the application process. He indicated that
an application is no longer required; that present policy calls for a
"Statement of Objectives" followed by proposed expenditures for each
objective. He further indicated the process involves:
a) Public Hearing(s)
b) Documentation of Public Hearing
c) Environmental Impact Statement
d) Approval by Council, and
e) Submission to HUD for 30-day review process.
Hencin also advised that amendments to the Housing and Development
Act have been passed by Congress, but regulations implementing the
changes have not been published and probably will not be until late
December/January timeframe.

Moved by Farran, seconded by Karstens, approved 4/0, that the Housing
Commission draw up a list of specific proposals for utilization of
the budgeted $250,000 in CIP funds for 1982.
Since only preliminary research and plans have been drawn for some of
the projects and in view of the established need for control of sites
and need for money for implementation of i.ts housing goals,
Commission concurred that it could not realistically define a budget
at this time.

City Council and City Cauncil Candidates
The Iowa City Housing Commission
Funding for Housing Programs
The Housing Commission has spent considerable time and effort studying and
determining housing needs in the community. Recommendations have been
provided to Council concerning allocation of CDBG funds and projects for
the CIP. Recent events have caused some concern that allocated dollars
from the 1982 calendar year CDBG dollars would be diverted to the North
Branch Oam Project. Further, that the potential for not funding proposed
housing programs in the CIP was being considered.
. The .Commission field a Special Meeting on October 21 and 22 to.obtain
•' current information and to reaffirm to Council goals and objectives as
- , they relate to housing.
The Housing Commission understands that there is going to be a need to
rethink all program dollars. We would like to advise you what we had in
mind when we set the'budget for these projects.
Since CIP money is not always identified as far as funding sources, we
understand the Council has these sources in mind:
FUNDING SOURCES
Tax Exempt 8ondinq
The Housing Commission is being asked by the Department of Pl.anning
and Program Development to recommend sites for consideration by the
City Council for Industrial Revenue Bonds. It is conceivable that
some of the following programs could be greatly enhanced by such
financing opportunities. As the Commission is aware, up until very
recently, the City Council had a specific prohibition against
utilizing Industrial Revenue Bonds far projects involving
residential use. Nowever, with the recent preliminary approval of a
mixed use development on Burlington and Linn Streets involving three
apartments, and with the proposal for a large apartment complex to be
built on lands adjoining the Small Cities grant area east of Gilbert
Street, there appears to be a willingness on the part of the City
Council to consider Industrial Revenue Bonds for residential uses.
General Obligation Bonds
General Obligations Bonds are issued by the City of Iowa City to
perform a number of Capital Improvement Projects such as street
replacements and improvements or the downtown landscaping program.
The present demand for "brick and mortar" CIP projects are far in
MILROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES
/Ga6
�
•�

;.,�
excess of our bonding ceilings and make the above housing projects
less desirable unless, the benefit of recapturing expended monies is
seen as a positive benefit of financing the proposed housing
ventures. By this I mean, a newly constructed street, whether bonded
or not, is money spent and cannot be recaptured. However, if public
money is used ta purchase land and that land is later sold to a
developer, the City stands to recapture all of the monies advanced,
or in the case of a writedown of property, a portion of the monies
advanced. This latter approach enables the City to utilize monies
twice. First for projects such as housing, which allow the
possibility for recapture, and secondly, for "brick and mortar," a
one time expenditure.
In-Kind Contributions
As indicated in the earlier project discussion of public housing, the
City of Iowa Cit� has, in the past, offered a degree of in-kind
contribution to housing projects by offering City-owned property as
potential sites for public housing. A utilization of vacated streets
rights-of-way and the old water tower site are examples of a type of
in-kind contribution that did not give the entire value of the land
over to housing, but did enable the projects to be completed by
selling the land ta a developer at values less than the marketplace.
Such arrangements could, of course, be continued in FY1982.
Projects such as congregate housing wi11 require construction sites
of a size and dollar amount far in excess of those necessary to meet
our current modest public housing endeavors. Potential construction
sites are presently owned by the City and could be "set aside" for
housing in lieu of a cash outlay of capital improvement dollars as
requested in the FY82 budget. Land, so reserved for housing, could
then be either given to a developer willing to construct a City-
approved housing project for low and moderate income persons, could
be made part of a City-sponsored developme,nt project or could be sold
to a developer, either for profit or non-profit, with attractive
financing arrangements to make certain that the housing project is
economically feasible and acceptable to HUD, the State of Iowa, or
whatever additional sponsoring agencies are involved.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL:
1. That CDBG funds for FY82, specifically the $129,000 allocated for
Housing Rehabilitation and the $12,000 for Code Enforcement be left
alone, as they are, for those specific items, due to the fact that
Housing Rehabilitation deals specifically with improving the quality
of housing in our community, not only far the elderly, but ultimately
those houses wi11 remain livable, restored, and not deteriorating.
� Moved by Karstens, seconded by Farran, aprpoved 4/0.
2. That the CIP funds for FY82, specifically the $250,000 allocated and
approved by Council for Assisted Housing be utilized for the
following purposes:

PROJECTS
Congregate Housing
The recent workshop on congregate housing conducted by the
Housing Commission helped define the problem of elderly and
handicapped citizens who are unable to maintain fully
independent living and are not ready for nursing care. Workshop
recommendations are scheduled for review and action by the
Housing Commission task force on congregate housing and will
most likely require not only a commitment to act from the City
Council, but financial assistance in the form of loans, grants,
donations of City-owned land, or ongoing financial support.
Emerqency Housing
The Housing Commission has expressed a desire to program for
support to persons needing emergency housing, especially
transients and abused children and spouses. In an attempt to
help define the problem, the Housing Commission has opened
dialogue with the task force of the Ecumenical Consultation of
Iowa City, an organization of Iowa City area churches who share
the Housing Commission's concern for providing emergency
housing opportunities. 'The Housing Commission has agreed to
convene a task force in early 1982 to study and recommend action
on the emergency housing problem.
Like the Spouse Abuse Shelter, it is conceivable that the
Housing Commission may be asking for a portion of the FY82-CIP
funds to be utilized in addressing the problems of emergency
housing.
Public Housing
The Housing Authority of the City of Iowa City has entered into
a contract with Hallmark Homes to construct 32 units of public
housing utilizing the Turnkey approach. Six of the units are
being built on land previously owned by the City. These lands,
three vacated street rights-of-way and a site that once held the
water tower for Iowa City, are now making payments to Iowa City
in lieu of property taxes, revenue that did not come in before
the housing development.
Iowa City has received approval for an additional 20 u,iits of
public housing, however, without government assistance in
obtaining land, the cost of development and construction will
make further completion of public housing in excess of HUD
prescribed construction ceilings and therefore economically
infeasible.
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEOAR RAPI�S•OES I401NES
/�46
.�
�
��
k
.�
To assure the construction of additional units of public
housing, the Housing Commission will have to continue to
encourage additional support from the City of Iowa City in the
form of land donations or write downs of potential construction
sites already owned by the City, such as street rights-of-way,
parks, or other City owned property. Another method that is
being utilized in Phase II of the existing allocation of public
housing units is to have the City purchase buildable land in the
marketplace and resell the land to a 7urnkey developer at a
write-down.
Moderate Rehabilitation Section 8
The City of Iowa City presently only has assisted tenants under
Section 8 in existing privately.owned dwellings that are in
compliance with the Iowa City Housing Code. In calendar year
1982, the City will be broadening their assistance program to
include 30 units of Moderate Rehabilitation Section 8. To
qualify for Moderate Rehabilitation Section 8 rental
assistance, a property owner must be willing to make
improvements to an existing property in order to bring the
structure into compliance with HUD Section 8 standards, (for
Iowa City it will be our Housing Code standards).
To encourage the repairs, HUD will enter into a 15-year
agreement to provide a Section 8 Rental Subsidy to the low
income tenants residing in the repaired structure. In an
attempt to offset the financing costs of the repair
construction, Moderate Rehabilitation rental allowance payments
are higher than that allowed for Existing Section 8. However,
current principal and interest payback rates on home
improvement loans will make the Moderate Rehabilitation Program
undesirable unless participating owners have other sources for
financing repairs, such as savings or life insurance loans. The
City will have to provide attractive loans to the property
owners lacking private funding sources similar to the owner-
occupied rehabilitation loan programs of the Community
Development Block Grant'Program.
HUD Section 312 loans cannot be utilized in conjunction with
Section 8.
New Construction Section 8
The New Construction Section 8 program is similar to the
previously discussed Moderate Rehabilitation Section 8 program
with the major difference being that a private developer would
build dwellings with the expressed intent of entering into
Housing Assistance Payments with the Department of Nousing and
Urban Devetopment for 20 years such that low income tenants
residing in the newly constructed dwelling units would receive
MICROFILMEO BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS•OES IAOINES
y;:�
(
rental assistance payments to offset the higher rents
anticipated and approved by HUD for newly built dwellings. To
date, for the same reasons as expressed earlier in discussing
Moderate Rehabilitation Section 8, developers have been
disinterested in building new dwellings for Section 8
assistance since land acquisition and construction costs demand
fair-market rents in excess of those allowed by HUD.
It is conceivable that with donated or underwritten land costs,
and/or lower interest construction financing coming from the
City of Iowa City, private developers could be encouraged to
enter into the assisted housing program. In order to accomplish
this, the Housing Commission would have to recommend to the City
Council that loans, grants or donations of City land would have
to be considered to capture New Construction Section 8 housing
assistance from HUD.
Rehabilitation
Actual experience in the present Rehabilitation program over
the last four years indicated that, although we experienced a
� high level of program success in being able to rehabilitate
existing single-family homes to the Housing Code,standards, on
occasion properties are so in need of repair that it is not
feasible to reliabilitate them to the current code standards
with existing HUD Loan Programs or City-sponsored grants. It is
most difficult to turn away people in greatest need, therefore
we recommend that moni?s be set aside to purchase properties
infeasible for rehabilitation and with proper relocation of the
' existing homeowners into sound housing, the former housing site
be utilized for public housing or other such appropriate public
purposes as neighborhood parks.
That the Housing Commission would encourage the City Council to use .
Industrial Revenue Bonds for residential uses.
SUMMARY
We are willing to discuss with you any or all of the projects for
inclusion in FY82 and future projects and would like to pursue jointly
with you the various funding sources outlined in our report. Of course,
if we cannot capture all of the dollars estimated for this program year,
we would at least encourage you to give us a strong enough commitment to
pursue our priorities:
1. Congregate Housing

the northeast corner of Westgate and Benton Streets; 45-day limitation period:
10/29/81.
Keller briefly discussed the tocation and zoning history of the area. Jakobsen
reminded the Commission that action had to be taken at this meeting. Jakobsen
asked Boothroy to report on his conversation with the City Engineer concerning
the runoff problem in the area.
Boothroy stated that the City Engineer had looked into the possibility of
providing a concrete spillway in the neighborhood but added that this would not
solve the stormwater runoff problem. The City Engineer didn't have a chance to
review the plans of the developer. Boothroy stated that in order to solve the
runoff problem it was necessary to deal with the runoff directed through the
property from University Heights. The runoff created by the subject property
itself is minimal and does not cause the problem. Boothroy suggested that the
runoff from University Heights would not be easily corrected.
Jakobsen asked if anyone wished to speak on this item.
�. Paul Hoherz, 724 Wheaton Road, spoke against the rezoning, citing the
stormwater runoff problem as the main reason for concern. Hoherz reminded the
Planning and Zoning Commission that a petition containing the signatures of the
landowners from Westgate Street to West Benton Street objecting to the rezoning
would be presented to City Council.
Boothroy reminded the members that the Comprehensive Plan shows a higher density
in that area and rezoning would probably take place sooner or later unless the
Comprehensive Plan were amended.
Hoherz asked why no plans to handle the runoff problem had been circulated.
Jakobsen stated that the ordinance concer,ning stormwater management didn't
appiy until two acres were•developed. Boothroy pointed out that even if the
total tract were four acres, if it was developed in increments of less than two
acres stormwater management could not be required. Blum asked if the stormwater
ordinance could be applied retroactively if the land was developed by the same
developer. Boothroy said no. •
Randall Miller, representing the University Baptist Church, spoke in favor of
the application. Miller stated that a majority of the runoff did not empty
towards the property whose landowners were against rezoning. Miller stated that
less land area would be put under concrete when developing the property for
multi-family as opposed to single-family.
Jakobsen called for a vote on this item. The application was approved 6-1, with
Jakobsen voting no.

Knight suggested discussing these two items at the same time and gave a brief
zoning and subdivision history of the area. The staff recommended that
consideration of the preliminary plats be denied due to the following concerns:
1. Oakes Meadow Addition and Waters First Addition should be combined as one
plat to ensure that secondary access is provided. �
2. The street alignment should be redesigned to remove any curves of less than
150 radius.
3. Realignment of the proposed "Dover Street" to intersect with Muscatine
Avenue at Carver Street.
Blum asked who owned the land to the east of the properties in question. Knight
stated that the Moose Lodge owned the land.
Jakobsen asked if anyone wished ta speak on this item.
J. Patrick White, Attorney for Larry Waters, spoke in favor of the application,
stating that • the plats submitted have been prepared following staff
recommendations. White expressed surprise at the staff recommendation to deny
the application. White stated that while the Moose Lodge has "fee ownership" of

suggestion to realign Oover Street with Muscatine Avenue and Carver Street.
White also pointed out that it was more economical to cannect the street to
Dover than to divide the Waters' parcel by intersecting with Carver Street.
White stated that the applicants would be willing to waive the 45-day limitation
period but asked that the Planning and Zoning Commission consider approving the
aPplication conditioned upon revisions they deemed necessary. White stated that
a revision of Oakes boundary line could be arranged.
Boothroy stated that the staff had never changed its opinion concerning the

Blum asked if the applicants were in the process of formulating an agreement
with the Moose Lodge. White said yes.
Marion Neely, Attorney fostated �hatshisxcl ent was� willingtto pay the cost�of
White's statement. Neely ointed out that the applicants had
paving the secondary access road. Neely p
reached a compromise in this situation and hoped the members recognized this.
Neely expressed a willingness to waive the 45-day limitation period unless the
Planning and Zoning Commission approved the applications based on the following
conditions: 1) Dean Oakes agreed to put ointedsout that the present subdhv�s9on
the title from the Moose Lodge. Neely p
plat was one previously approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Blum expressed concern over the fact that lots 1-6 appeared to front on
Muscatine Road and suggested redesigning lots 5, 6 and 7 to access off Dover
Street instead of Muscatine Road.
White agreed that a problem existed and expressed concern over the past
situation that created the present problem.
Seward wondered if access to the Moose Lodge will be changed if the secondary
road was put in. White said that the access would be moved from Muscatine Street
north along the proposed Dover Street.
Mike Kammerer, Engineer for the applicants, stated that the final location had
yet to be determined.
Boothroy stated that a properly worded agreement concerning the two properties
had not yet been received, and said that if the 45-day limitation period was
waived, the preliminary and the final plat could be approved at the same time.
Woito stated that it might expedite matters with the Moose Lodge if the Planning
and Zoning Commission approved with certain conditions. Boothroy stated that it
would make no difference. .
The members discussed the advantages of waiving the 45-day limitation period.
The attorneys both agreed to waive the 45-day limitation period. Jakobsen asked
if an entry in the official minutes was sufficient. Woito ruled that it was.

Hauer, Franklin, Hencin, Behrman
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL:
This was an informal meeting.
SUMMARY OF �ISCUSSION:
Hauer introduced Franklin to the members and discussed plans for the Design
Review Committee as the new staff liaison. Hauer mentioned enforcing the
Ordinance concerning attendance at committee meetings, explaining that three
unexplained absences will result in a member's dismissal from the Oesign Review
Committee. Hauer also mentioned that at a future meeting the Design Review
Committee would be reviewing the design for flagpoles at the Plaza. Hauer
discussed the City's plans for expanding the areas eligible to receive
industrial revenue bonds which would result in the Design Review Committee
reviewing more facade changes and renovation plans.
TASK FORCE TO REVIEW PROPOSED HISTORIC PRESERVATION OR�INANCE:
Hauer introduced Hencin, who spoke about the proposed historic preservation
ordinance. Hencin requested that a Design Review Committee member serve on the
Ad Hoc Task Force to review the proposed historic preservation ordinance and
briefly outlined the background of a study of the North Side. Hencin said 1300
structures were inventoried using available information and published sources,
and, with the help of the Division of Historic Preservation staff, potential
historic districts were studied. All cities are allowed to create historic
district commissions and designate historic districts. The City Council has
shown an interest in the issue and proposed ordinance. The City Council created
the Ad Hoc Task Force which will be composed of seven members, one each from the
Housing Commission, Committee on Community Needs, Uesign Review Committee, and
Planning and Zoning Commission and three members from the community at-large.
Hencin asked for a recommendation by November 10 for a Design Review Committee
member to serve on this Ad Hoc Task Force.
Haupert asked if the task force wovld draft the final ordinance. Hencin said
no; the task force would review a proposed ordinance and make any necessary
revisions.
Lafore said he was interested in serving on the task force if Seiberling was not
interested. Hauer suggested that a final recommendation be made at the next

formal meeting. Haupert wondered what the thrust of the ordinance would be.
Hencin stated that the ordinance would be concerned with the certification and
recognition of historic buildings, and the protection of such buildings during
renovation.
DISCUSSION OF THE COMMITTEE'S PROGRAM FOR FY82:
Hauer asked the members to decide one or two things they'd like to pursue during
FY82 and mentioned two possible items: 1) the development of a graphics policy
for City-owned buildings, and 2) a contractor education program.
Eckholt discussed the need to educate the public about the Design Review
Committee's purpose, as Nell as ways in which to help people preserve the
integrity of Iowa City's downtown. Hauer stated a recently-completed inventory
of the non-urban renewal downtown had a vast amount of informati�on in it and
could be used by the Committee and the public.

examples. Hauer suggested having an architect do a mock-up at low cost and
distributing it to store owners so that they could appreciate the potential in
their store fronts. Eckholt wondered how active a role the Oesign Review
Committee could take. Hauer encouraged as active a role as desired by the
Committee members. Haupert suggested forming a small nucleus of people who
could advise business people with regard to the tax incentives available when
preserving or renovatirtg a building. Wockenfuss applauded the conversion of the
old post office to the new Senior Citizens Center as a wonderful example of
finding new uses for old buildings.
Some discussion of the possible sale of the Blackhawk Mini Park took place. The
members recognized that the parcel might have to be sold. However, Haupert said
if the park was to be kept, its design should be upgraded to City Plaza standards
and the mural should be either redesigned or repainted. This upgrading should
be included in the CIP. Al1 agreed. Also discussed was bringing Linn Street up
to streetscape north of Washington Street, and bringing Clinton Street north
of Washington Street in line with everything else. Lafore wondered if there was
any talk about removing some of the parking spaces out of Iowa Avenue. Hauer
stated there was a remote possibility of that in FY86 or FY87; the idea of
putting in a fountain on Iowa Avenue was a low priority in the CIP.
OTHER DISCUSSION
Eckholt asked about the landscaping and the completion of the Plaza near the new
library. Hauer said some plantings would be put in this fall and the remainder
next spring. The City would probably do the brick work sametime next spring.
Hauer also discussed the issue of newspaper dispensers, saying they were popping
up like mushrooms on City sidewalks. Hauer planned to remind the Iowa City
Press-Citizen about the City ordinance regarding placing objects on the City

Eckholt again brought up the issue of educating the public with regard to
preserving Iowa City's heritage. The members discussed the various resource
people who can give advice on how the City looked in the past, such as the State
Historical Society, the Division of Historic Preservation, Bob Alexander and
Irving Weber. Eckholt said that the present reaction to downtown was
overwhelmingly enthusiastic ani Lafore stated that most things are changing
dramatically for the better. Eckholt would like ta see the Design Review
Committee take an active and dynamic role in educating the public and all
agreed.
Hauer asked that a short meeting be scheduled in the near future so that a quorum
could approve the minutes of July 15, 1981. Recommendation of a member to serve
on the task force to review the proposed historic preservation ordinance will
take place at the next full meeting in late October.
The informal meeting adjourned at 5:05 p.m. �

REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR JULY 15, 1981
Wokenfuss stated that although he was not at the meeting, he wished that
the language of the minutes was stronger in its rejection of the proposed
sign. Eckholt and Wegman read through the minutes noting that a statement
was made that the sign as proposed was not approved and that Perpetual
Savings & Loan representatives were referred to their architect for advice
on a new design.

be rejected and voted to amend the minutes to revise the statement -"An

RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL:
1. The Committee unanimously approved the recommendation that Margaret
Bonney be appointed as the CCN representative on the City Historic
Preservation Task Force.

Dam.

In response to McCormick's comments, Bonney wondered what kind of
negative feelings were expressed by residents. McCormick stated
that most of the questions dealt with tax benefits and property value
changes.
McCormick suggested that Bonney be appointed as the CCN representa-
tive to the City Historic Preservation Task Force. Bonney accepted.
A unanimous consensus approved Bonney's appointment.
b. Lower Ralston Creek Improvements .
Daly read his report on the Lower Ralston Creek Project recommending
that, while the lot on the southeast corner of Benton and Dubuque
Streets and the two immediate'f�� south are slated for acquisition by
the City, this land is not essential to the creek improvements and,
by not purchasing it, the City could save as much as $180,000 and
avoid removing these properties from the tax rolls.
Daly stated the HU� is wary about private owners benefiting from
improvements obtained with HUD monies. Daly said that if the
properties were removed from the flood plain, the property values
would increase.
i Hencin stated that the original intent behind purchasing the
property was to remove dilapidated houses and added that, if left
� there, the properties would not necessarily be flood protected.
� The members discussed how the
i properties, would be assessed and
wondered at any legal commitment the City might have to the current
� property owners.
a
Hencin briefly outlined the history of the area and stated the
problems that could be caused if the City followed Daly's
recommendation. �
McCormick asked if the houses were still occupied. Hencin said yes.
McCormick agreed with the recommendation because it would save the
City money. Milkman reminded the members that under the new zoning
ordinance the properties in question would be zoned commercial.
Milkman said that a non-conforming use would be created if the
properties were left as is. She also stated that the remaining
parcels would be more valuable to the City if the properties were
part of a larger parcel to be sold for commercial development.
Bonney asked where the money from the resale of properties would go.
Keller stated that the money would get channeled back through the CCN
to be used as C�BG funds. Daly stated that removing these properties
didn't necessarily solve the problem of non-conforming uses in the
area.

VanderZee moved.�that the staff study the recommendation and outline
the pros and cons at next month's meeting. McGee seconded. The
motion carried unanimously.
�• Conqreqate Housinq Workshon,
VanderZee briefly reported on this item, stating that between 75 and
80 persons attended the September 23 workshop. VanderZee stated that
community leaders were stimulated by the main speaker's new ideas and
approaches for pursuing a project like this. VanderZee hoped that by
the end af the year, a task force might be appointed to explore the
needs for this program further. VanderZee stated that it would be
important to have $55,000 stay in the CDBG program as seed money and
felt that the more we tried to assess the needs for this program, the
more need would become visible. VanderZee stated that a more lengthy
report would be forthcoming.
d• Status of Capital Improvements Proqrams.
Milkman reported that the City Council had decided to keep the CIP to
a minimum due to the poor market for General Obligation Bonds.
Milkman stated that an austere list of priorities for the CIP would
be compiled by the City Manager and the Finance Director, along with
a desiderata list if the financial environment improved. Milkman
stated that these lists would be discussed at a November meeting for
staff, boards and commissions.
' e• Senior Center Correspondence.
Bonney stated that a written response had been sent from the Senior
Center Commission concerning the report on the Senior Center CCN had
received last month. Hencin distributed brochures depicting the use
of the Senior Center space.
f. Towncrest Mobile Home Caurt.
Milkman stated that the Housing Inspection Uepartment had been
contacted and had since cooperated with the Johnson County Health
Department. A letter had been written to the Towncrest Mobile Home
Court owners, discussing the inadequate water supply, lack of
clQanliness and stagnant water problems. Milkman stated that the
owners had 90 days in which to remedy the situation. Bonney said
, that the CCN would check with Milkman after 90 days for an update on
the situation.
ELECTION OF A NEW VICE-CHAIRPERSON:
McGee nominated McCormick. McCormick declined the nomination. Daly
nominated VanderZee. VanderZee accepted the nomination for the pasition
of vice-chairpersan. McCormick moved that the nominations be closed.

consensus.

URBAN REVITALIZATIOM - INPUT ON MAPS:
Hauer had asked the Committee members to mark on large city maps, which
were distributed at last month's meeting, any areas they felt might
benefit from urban revitalization. The members neglected to do so, but
promised to submit the maps by October 14.
STATUS OF CDBG APPLICATION FOR 1982:
Bonney stated that the status of COBG funds was in question due to the
financial burden of the Ralston Creek North Branch Dam, and that, while
the City Council didn't intend to gut the program, they were firmly
committed to the Ralston Creek North Branch Dam project. Bonney stated
that the CCN members must consider a recommendation to the City Council on
the use of 1982 COBG funds by a December 1 deadline. Daly mentioned the
difficulties involved if the Planning and Program Development Department
had to draw up a new proposal.
Bonney wondered about using general obligation bonds for the dam and Cook
asked about the legality of using COBG monies.
Hencin provided background information concerning the application for
CDBG funds and discussed the changes brought about by the new administra-
tion.
' Milkman provided an overview of the use of COBG funds for Ralston Creek
Flood Control from 1976-1981. Milkman stated that in the past six years,
� 40 percent of all CDBG funds have been allocated to the Ralston Creek
iFlood Control Project. Daly added that 53.7 percent had been spent on
i urban renewal in the first four years. (Staff pointed out that some of
� these urban renewal funds had been funneled back into the C�BG program on
sale of urban renewal parcels.)

Council expected all the funding for the Ralston

Hencin and Hauer stated that the City has not followed HUD regulations
with regard to land acquisition and therefore tf�e City would not purchase
land for the dam with CDBG money.
McGee wondered if the North Branch Dam was essential to the flood control
project. Hencin said it was. Hencin stated that the CCN members were
being. asked to look at their budget to see if it could be altered. Ne
reminded the CCN members that the basic intent of the CDBG program was to
benefit low- and moderate-income families.
Cook wondered if the City Council would take the CDBG funds even if the
CCN decided not to modify the present program. Hencin said that they
could as it was the Council's responsibility to approve the budget. Daly
stated that the City was taking a risk if they spent funds in ways not in

keeping with the HUD's recommendations and goals. Bonney asked if the
City Council was concerned about its standing with HUD or thought that it
would be easy to override HUD as the Reagan Administration relaxes
restrictions. Hencin said that only the application process was changing,
not the intent of expenditures.
Bonney emphasized CCN's commitment to HUD's goals.
The members discussed how much money would be left for other programs if
the City Council got its requested funds for the North Branch Dam. McGee
expressed concern that the CCN was postponing important programs; 90
percent of the money each year had gone to either urban renewal or the
Ralston Creek project. McCormick expressed concern over the dependency on
federal funds.
Dodge wondered about the possibility of pre-selling the land in the flood
plain to raise the needed revenue. Hauer explained why this could not be
done. The members discussed this issue.
McGee suggested having an emergency meeting if necessary because of the
time limits on the CCN's decision.
Daly moved that the Cammittee on Community Needs felt that there were no
programs which could be eliminated from the budget at this time in order
to provide additional funds to the Ral'ston Creek North Branch Dam.
McCormick seconded. The motion carried unanimausly.
VanderZee moved that a memorandum outlining CCN's reasons for this
recommendation be appended to the motion; including the fact that .in the
past six years approximately 40 percent of CDBG funds have been allocated
to Ralston Creek improvements, and that only a small amount of low- and
moderate-income persons would benefit from the North Branch project,
contrary to the intent of HUD.
McCormick seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
Hencin said staff would be drafting a revised budget for 1982 which will
reflect the changes due to reduced HUD funding. The basic programs
previously approved by CCN and Council would remain unchanged. CCN will
review this budget at the next meeting.
MINORITY BUSINESS UTILZATION IN CDBG PROGRAMS:
Hencin called the members' attention to the memorandum on minority
businesses. Hencin offered copies of a list of MBE's (minority
businesses) to any member who would like one. Hencin stated that a new
goal for utilizing MBE's would be set for fiscal 81-82.
Lockett wondered when the new goal would be set. Hencin replied that the
staff was waiting to see what programs wauld be let out for bidding before
setting goals.

RECOMMENOATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL:
The Committee on Community Needs recommends that the City not acquire the
following properties for the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood
Revitalization Project: 201 E. Benton Street, 912 5. Dubuque Street and
914 S. Dubuque Street.
Comment: This recommendation was made in light of the current austerity
which led the Committee to consider possible cutbacks in the program which
would not result in a loss of flaod protection.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
Bonney called the meeting to order. Bonney stated that the only item on
the agenda would be consideration of Daly's suggestion on property
acquisition in the Lower Ralston Creek area. +iencin introduced Brown, the
Assistant City Attorney.
Hencin made some corrections in the �Re ort on Acquisition of Lower Ralston
Creek Properties not Needed for Creek�mprovements:
Page 1, 201 E. Benton 8/22/77 not 8/22/79
Page 2, sixth paragraph should read: "The owner of 201 E. Benton
Street has operated an insurance business at this lacation since
November 1977...".
Page 3, paragraph one under legal aspects of non-acquisition: "There
would be no grounds for lawsuits if the three properties were not
acquired."
Ualy discussed his original report on the Lower Ralston Creek Project.
Daly referred to the October 1, 1980, minutes of (CCN's meeting with) the
Ralston Creek Coordinating Committee which listed five criteria for the
project: 1) the work should proceed downstream to upstream; 2) do the most
good for people at the least cost; 3) after initial funding of two dams by
HUD, additional funding should come from local sources; 4) acquire
property only when necessary; and 5) buy property when the price is right.

Daly stated that the prices of the properties in question (201 E. Benton
Street, 912 S. Dubuque Street and 914 5. Dubuque Street) were much higher
than originally forecast. Daly stated that since the lots did not
converge on the creek, there would be room for widening the channel and
stabilizing the bank without purchasing the properties.
Hencin indicated that an estimated savings of $209,000 could be expected
if these properties were not purchased. Daly stated that a decision not
to acquire these properties would be a show of support for the wishes of
the City Council. Bonney reminded the CCN members that as no formal
communications from the City Council had been received concerning this
matter, one could not assume one knew what the City Council wanted.
The members discussed this matter. Bonney wondered if there was enaugh
time to change the program should the CCN recommend against acquiring the
properties. Hencin stated that it was still possible time wise, but the
City was in the process of condemning the propert'ies. Hencin said that
the City Council could make a final decision at the November lOth meeting.
McGee asked what the condemnation process did in terms of acquiring
property. Brown explained the process.
Daly discussed the recommendation not to purchase the properties in terms
of the five objectives in the staff report. Daly stated that while
objectives one and two were not directly affected, three and four had to
some extent been accomplished. Objective five, that of assembling
fragmented parcels to appropria�e size for land consumptive commercial
use to be sold for redevelopment, would still be valid, but Daly stated
that the market forces that were changing that neighborhood into
commercial use would not be affected by the CCN's decision.
McGee expressed support for Daly's recommendation, stating that since the
properties were not essential to the creek improvement project and as they
had been extensively renovated, it was not necessary for the City to
acquire them.
Whitlow expressed support for Daly's recommendation, citing increased tax
revenue for the City when the renovated properties were reappraised as the
reason for his support. The members discussed the validity of this
assumption.
McGee asked about the legal prob•lems the City could face if it did not
acquire the properties. Brown stated that it was the opinion of the legal
staff that this was basically a policy matter and there should be no legal
liability. Brown did warn of the possibilities of civil suits, but stated
that since condemnation proceedings were just started, it would be
difficult to prove deliberate malice and obtain civil damages. Brown also
stated that the Comprehensive Plan wauld also have to be amended. The
members discussed possible ways this could be handled.
Hencin referred to the Chapter 403 Redevelopment Plan, stating that a
clause existed which permitted the deletion or exemption of the properties

slated for acquisition. Hencin stated that the 1980 Small Cities
community development program would have to be amended and ultimately, the.
savings would result in changes in the 1982 program.
McCormick stated that as the legal staff foresaw no crisis and the
planning staff thought there was enough time to amend grant proposals, and
as the City Council was looking for ways to save money, CCN should
recommend that the City not acquire these properties.
McCormick maved that the Committee on Community Needs recommend that the
City not acquire the following properties for the Lower Ralston Creek
Neighborhood Revitalization Project: 201 E. Benton Street, 912 S. Dubuque
Street and 914 5. Oubuque Street. Daly seconded. 7he motion passed 7-1,
with Bonney voting nay,
�aly asked that a short comment accompany the motion explaining the reason
for this recommendation. Daly stated that this recommendation was made in
light of the current austerity which led the Committee to consider
possible cutbacks in the program which not result in a loss of flood
protection.
The meeting adjourned at 8:05 p.m.

MATTERS PENDING COUNCIL-COMMISSION DISPOSITION:
The Extension Policy being formulated by Hawkeye Cable Vision will
need to be approved by the BTC and the City Council.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTION TAKEN:
The Regional NFLCP (National Federation of Local Cable Programmers)
meeting will be December 4-6,.1981 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Eskin
reported on the Educational Consortium (the gaverning body of
Channel 27) progress. ATC President Trygve Myhren responded to a BTC
letter, stating ATC will honor its access and franchise fee
cammitments to Iowa City. He also stated ATC is not necessarily in
favor of state or city regulation of cable xv. Gebhard, a citizen of
Iowa City, submitted a petition to Hawkeye Cable Vision requesting
them to bring to Iowa City War�er Amex's, the music channel, a 24
hour a day visual music potpouri. Johnson initiated the idea, which
the Commissionars endorsed, of starting an Annual Program Review and
Input Process for citizens of Iawa City. This would give citizens a
chance to speak on their likes, dislikes and wants regarding
programming on cable television in Iowa City. MCI telephone service,
giving long distance calls discounts from 20-40%, is now available to
Iowa Citians. Brown reported substitutions for some of Hawkeye's
less useful equipment is possible, given: 1) all such substitutions
are in written agreement form between the City of Iowa City and
Hawkeye Cable Vision; and 2) substituted equipment shall be of
approximate equivalent value of the original items. Shaffer
distributed letters sent by the City of Iowa City to all local and
national political representatives regarding Senate Bill 898 and
three cable riders that could eliminate city regulation of cable and
prohibit the requirement of access channels. "Access Week", eight

days of live programming on channel 26 coordinated by Access Iowa
City and Hawkeye Cable 4ision, which took place August 30-September
6, gave over 60 organizations and individuals a chance to talk about
their services and functions. "Access Week" was deemed a commendable
success. Pepper reported ATC is rendering their own legal opinion of
the Iowa City ordinance regarding the extension policy, which may
very well differ from the Iowa City legal staff's opinion. Blough
said Hawkeye Cable Vision now has 8500 subscribders. The BTC is
interested in commending the Press-Citizen and the Coralville Weekly
News for their support in carrying the listings of the local cable tv
access channels at no charge. Blough reported the outage of cable
television for portions of Iowa City on September 10 was due to a
failure of a transformer. Al1 such transformers now in the Iowa City
system are going to be replaced. Hindman reported progress on the
repairing of Hawkeye Cable Vision equipment and that he was working
out a possibility to have original local music played back on channel
26. 8lough reported there were still 28 no responses to the 68 homes
sent surveys who do not yet have cable tv service. The survey
inquires as to the interest of the citizens in receiving cable tv
service.
MEETING CALLED TO OROER:

ANNOUNCEMENTS
The regional NFLCP meeting wi11 be held in Milwaukee December 4, 5
and 6.
The Commissioner Discussion item at the end of the BTC agenda has
been added so that commissioners who have questions or items of
interest not directly related to BTC business can bring such items up
at the end of the meeting.
Eskin reported on the Educational Consortium, saying an intern from
the University of Iowa will be used to assist in program production
and playback. Eskin also inquired if a portion of time on Hawkeye's
editing system could be reserved for Educational Consortium use.
Kalergis' response indicated there would need to be a policy change
that would permit any one entity or block of entities exclusive use
of certain time on Hawkeye's equipment. This will be addressed in
the next Educational Consortium meeting.
Several NFLCP members received a new Access Handbook from United
Cable N, entitled "Cablecasting and Public Access in the 80's". It
is available for perusal from the BTS office.

A communication was received from ATC responding to a letter sent by
the BTC July 24, 1981 (see City Clerk files for all communications).
Trygve Myhren pledged ATC's support, and said they would keep their
agreements regarding local access cable tv and the franchise fee
arrangement with the City of Iowa City. ATC does not believe cities
should be in a position to regulate rates of cable companies. Mr.
Myhren did not address the BTC inquiry about their support of Senate
Bill 898 and its three cable riders which could, if passed, usurp
city and state government regulatory powers, prohibit the
requirement of access channels, and enable the FCC (Federal
Communications Commission), not cities or states, to set franchise
fee ceilings.
PUBLIC OISCUSSION:
Uave Gebhard submitted a petition signed by Iowa Citians to urge
Hawkeye Cablevision to offer Warner Amex's new 24 hour a day music
channel. Blough responded by saying he would like a cover letter
from Gebhard to send with these petitions to ATC headquarters.
Blough also said Hawkeye is looking into changing from UPI to AP
services, which would enable them to consolidate three or four
channels of data to one or two channels, freeing up channels for
other kinds of services. Blough said to receive this mysic channel
would require an initial investment of approximately $6,000.
Gebhard mentioned Synthesis Young Arts workshop is interested in
trying to sell some of their music and/or visual products to Warner
Amex.
Madsen asked Blough how decisions are made regarding channel content
selection. Blough said this decision is a combination of community
interest, his and Kalergis' decision, upper level management
decisions, and what has been budgeted for. Budgeting for 1982 is
already in process.
Johnson suggested setting up an annual program review hearing,
starting next year, probably in April. The hearing would make Iowa
Citians aware of what options are available in terms of programming
that they are not now receiving, and request citizen input on what
services/channels they naw like or don't like and what, if any, other
services they would like. Johnson made a motion to have the BTC
sponsor an Annual Cable N Program Review and Input Hearing.
Seconded by Eskin, unanimously approved. Johnson and Shaffer will
work together to prepare a proposal for this endeavor.
Pepper inquired about the CBS cultural channel package being carriec
by Hawkeye Cable Vision. Blough said he has sent the request to have
the CBS cultural channel carried in Iowa City to their Denver office
and its receipt in �enver has been acknowledged. Iowa City is on
record as wanting the CBS cultural channel, but no official response
has been received. CBS cultural channel carries music, theatre,
dance, opera and ballet.

Johnson announced MCI telephone service is available in Iowa City,
which offers a 20%-40% discount on long distance phone calls. MCI is
an alternative phane service to Northwestern Bell. Telenet, an
alternative computer networking service, has decided to include Iowa
City in its network as well, along with other majar markets in the
United States.
SPECIALIST'S REPORT
Shaffer reported legal staff's opinion regarding substituting
equipment items by mutual consent (between the City of Iowa City and
Hawkeye Cablevision) for those items originally proposed or bought
by Nawkeye Cable Vision. Dave Brown, Assistant City Attorney, in a
written memo stated substituting items can be accomplished on the
following basis: 1) said substitution shall be made only by written
agreement by and between Hawkeye Cable Vision and the City af Iowa
City and 2) substituted equipment shall be of approximate equivalent
value of the original item.
Shaffer distributed copies of a letter sent by the City of Iowa City
to all local political and national representatives regarding the
City s opposition to Senate Bill 898 and its cable riders. Johnson
complimented Mayar Balmer for endorsing this letter. Shaffer said
the access posters which advertise the four local cable tv access
channels have been campleted and have been put an City, Coralville
and University buses. Shaffer stated he received six camplaints
during the last month. Most all complaints dealt with the Extension
Policy and persons who have not received cable tv service. The
library computer and cable tv interface project is proceeding, now
the Computer Assisted Instruction lab of the University of Iowa is
assisting in developing this project.
Berlin and Shaffer will be attending and speaking at the
International City Management Association conference in Los Angeles,
California, September 17-21, 1981,
"Access Week", eight days of live and taped local access cable tv
programs, done by and for Iowa Citians over channel 26, took.place
August 30-September 6. This was coordinated by Access Iowa City,
with the aid of Hawkeye CableVision. It provided a chance for over
60 Iowa City individuals, groups and organizations to disseminate
information about themselves and their activities and familiarized
these groups and individuals with the access channel. Almost as many
persons helped behind the scenes, running cameras, coordinating
talent, producing, etc. Access Iowa City is to be commended for
their successful efforts, as it Hawkeye CableVision for their
support. As in any such venture, many things were discovered and
learned.
Shaffer informed the BTC there is currently a problem with keeping
the equipment in the Hawkeye CableVision studio in the Library cool.

Several pieces of equipment have already been damaged because of this
problem. The Library's cooling system is seemingly not capable of
cooling only Hawkeye's area without cooling up to to one-third of the
Library at the same time. A meeting between the Public Library and
Hawkeye CableVision officials has been set for October 6 ta discuss
possible solutions to this problem. Shaffer suggested, as the Rules
of Procedures in Dispute Resolution guidelines state, to aliow these
parties to try to resolve this problem themselves first. If they
cannot resolve the issue, the BTS and BTC may need to get involved.
The BTC supported the idea af Hawkeye CableVision shutting down the
studio before the point at which the equipment may be destroyed.
HAWKEYE'S EXTENSION POLICY:
Pepper stated ATC was in the process of rendering their own legal
opinion on the Extension Policy issue. Initial indications are that
they will disagree with the City legal staff's opinion. The point in
contention is what is "reasonable" to expect the company to wire, so
that, in their interpretatian of the ordinance, service is to be
provided except where not reasanabte. Yutkin promised the extension
policy, or ATC's interpretation of that policy, will arrive by the
October BTC meeting. Most all the homes affected by the extension
policy will be aerial hookups, not underground, so they could be done
in the winter or springtime.
It was noted according to the ordinance, Hawkeye Cablevision does not
have to provide service to 100% of Iowa City until April 18, 1982.
HAWKEYE'S REPORT:
Blough reported Hawkeye Cable Vision has now completed wiring Dover
and Sterling Streets. He also stated Hawkeye is right on schedule
with their construction. They are now on Ealing and Cardiff Circle.
Blough reported the marketing and sales is going well in Iowa City.
There are now about 8500 subscribers.
Kalergis reported the listings of local access cable tv channels
programming in the Press-Citizen and the Coralville Weekly News. The
Daily Iowan is the only newspaper not carrying the listings because
they say they do not have the funds to carry those listings (at an
approximate cost of $25 a week). Johnson suggested a letter be
drafted and sent by the BTC to the Daily Iowan speaking to the
benefits and advantages of carrying such local access cable tv
program listings. AL the same time, it was suggested letters of
commendation be sent to the Press-Citizen and the Weekly News for
carrying those listings.
Blough stated Hawkeye and many subscribers on the east side
experienced a power outage September 10 at about 3:30 AM. The total
amount of time certain portions of the cable system was down was
about 5 hours. The problem was the kind of transformer being used.

Hindman provided an update on the video equipment situation. Two
1640 cameras are now up and operable with only one backup camera
being down. One of the decks being repaired is not back yet. The
light and microphone stands have been repaired. The document
scanning camera for the library has arrived. PVOM and studio shoots

will make available a cassette playback system so that music can be
played on channel 26 whenever video programs are not being cablecast.
Also a live microphone has been wired into channel 26 for DJ'ing
purposes.
Shaffer inquired if Hawkeye had proceeded on the second survey to
those in Iowa City who do not yet have cable tv service. Blough
responded that he had, and that as yet there are 28 no responses of
the total 68 homes surveyed.

Re: Industrial Revenue Bonds (Henry Louis, Inc. Project)
On May 19, 1981, Counci�l approved a resolution to proceed with the
issuance and sale of Industrial Revenue Bonds for the Henry Louis,
Inc. Project in an amount not to exceed $80,000. The bond proceeds
will be used to finance the leasehold improvements and equipment
purchases for a camera store in the Old Capitol Center.
The projects casts have exceeded the original estimate and Henry
Louis, Inc. is requesting that the City Council authorize an increase
in the amount of bonds to "not to exceed $90,000." A review ofi the
financial analysis done by City staff indicates that�the increased
amount of debt should cause no financial problems. Iowa State Bank
and Trust will be purchasing the bonds and has no objections to
increasing the amount.

Dear Councilmembersi
.�
I I want to thank the City Council for allowing Bruce
Goddard and me to participate in the discussion in informal
session concerning the presence of westbound bicyclists in
the downtown transit interchange. Unfortunately, Bruce and '
I were given just a few hours advanced notice and this made ;
i it very difficult to leave our places of employment early i
� enough to prepare for the discussion. Nonetheless, I do �
, hope our input was of value to the Council. �
' In thinking over the comments made at the session it ',
occurred to me that the liability question became the focus
of discussion rather than the safety of the public. This is
detailed in the letter enclosed, copies o� which were sent to
the local newspapers. j
! I will get a compilation of t&cedata citing the dangers of �
; bike lanes and bike paths as soon as I can and will send a . ;
icopy to your office as mentioned at the coa;��il session. �
Again, thank you for meetirig with us, and I hope we can
continue to help each other in bicycle related matters. �

POST OFFICE BOX 846
; IOWA CITY. IOWA 52244
October 28, 1981
Dear people:
I recently attended the Monday, October 26 informal session
of the Iowa City City Council to discuss the legalization of
bicycle traffic though the short stretch of Washington Street
between Clinton and Capitol in a westward direction. This
area is part of the "Transit Interchange" at the Old Capitol
Center.
The situation is one where westbound bicycle traffic is
present and speculation is not necessary to determine the effect
bicycles would have in creating bicycle/bus conflicts. Bi-
cycles, which are there now, are not causing safety problems
to the westbound bus traffic flow. This lack of conflict has
been recognized by the City Transit Manager, the City Traffic
Engineer and members of the Transportation Planning Committee,
However, a liability question does exist in the opinion of the
City Attorney. Although it is of legal interest, liability
by the City if a bicyclist were struck by a bus is not the .
important issue here since there admittedly does not seem to
be a problem now with bicyclists illegally present in the
westbound portion of the interchange. There is no reason to
expect accidents to occur if bicyclists already present were
there legally. Indeed, since bicycles would then be expected
to be there, bus drivers would be even more careful than they
are now, thus reducing the liklihood of a bicycle/bus collision
even more.
In this case, legalizing the flow of bicycles will not cause
a problem where none exists. But to enforce the ban by
ticketing cyclists could cause problems where none novr exist
because: 1. Cyclists could be forced to travel on theside-
walk and chance pedestrian/ Uicycle conflicts (and perhaps
receive a ticket as well for riding in the central business
"Serving Bicyclists Throughout Johnson County

_ ;.
a
�
district) or 2. Since it is now legal for bicyclists and motor-
ists to travel westbound from Capitol to Madison or. Washington,
a bicyclist could be urged to travel on Burlington westbound
to Capitol, and back to Washington via Capitol to again mix
with the same busses the ban attempts to avoid,
Suggestions presented by some members of the City Council
are to convince the University to put in a short bike path
near the sidewalk on the Pentacrest side of Washington, or
for the eity to put in a bike lane somewhere in the interchange.
Since it has already been established that bicyclist presence
is not a problem, but liability in case of accident is, a bike
lane would not help nor would a bike path, A separate path
on the north side of Washington would eject bicyclists from
the right into moving bus traffic at Capitol and Washington.
This would undoubtedly be more dangerous than allowing bicyclists
to move to the left of busses stopped at the interchange.
To summarize then, the City Council decision to delay action
legalizing westbound bicycle flow through the transit inter-
change is not related to citizen safety�but rather to City
liability. If the decision to keep bicyclists out of the inter-
change is based on reducing liability rather than on increas-
ing safety, nothing would prevent the City Council from ban-
ning bicycles from all streets and sidewalks for the same
reason.

STRIGTWIDE

20 N. 7th Avenue
Iowa City, Iowa
The Herbert Hoover School principal and P.T.A. have asked us to inquire about the
possibility of the city hiring a half-time adult guard for the remainder of this
scf�ool year for the Court Street and Third Avenue intersection. They have indicated
this person would only need to be on duty in the morning and afternoon and not at
noon.
; Because the fold-out stop sign at that location proved to be ineffective, the
� children having to cross Court Street from the southwest are now required to
cross at Court Street and First Avenue where there is an adult guard. This affects
� approximately sixty-five students and adds to the already congested situation at
� this intersection.
� We realize your budget limitations but, likewise, would appreciate you giving
; thought and consideration to this proposal.. We respectfully suggest.that you
� observe the problem personally and preferably at 3:00 p.m. This is the time when
� the problem is compounded by the release of the junior and senior high schools
; in the area.
Again, we urge you to consider the importance of the adult crossing guard program
and the safety it affords our ch�ldren. Because Court Street is a main artery,
we hope you will recognize the importance of hiring another guard for Hoover
School when you are preparing the 1982-83 budget.

Dear Ms. Carey:
At its regular meeting of November 10, 1981, the City Council received
and placed on file your letter regarding the possibility of hiring a
part-time crossing guard for the remainder of the school year for the
Court Street and Third Avenue intersection.
Crossing guards were assigned posts for the 1981-1982 school year on
the basis of priorities established through the cooperative efforts of
the DPO Safety Committee and the City staff, and funds were allocated to
these priorities. It would be extremely difficult to reallocate funds
in the middle of the school year unless the Safety Committee would agree
to the reassignment of an adult guard from an existing post. If you
have any suggestions in regard to reassignment, I would be most happy
to discuss them with you.
Sincerel yours,

Council Members of Iowa City:
My wife and I are property owners in Iowa City of 2103-2105 Taylor
Drive. We reside at 2703 Taylor Drive, one half of our duplex. We
received a letter from the City of Iowa City June 2, 1981, regarding
rental inspections, permits and fees. This was fine, until inspection
of owner occupied dwellings and the assessment of rental property
was required. This has caused us to become concerned and is why we
are submitting this appeat. We would like a reclarification of owner
occupied dwellings like our own. We understand the intent of the
ordinance is to protect tenants from all hazards in a dwellin9, which
is fine. However, we believe to assess a property owner fees to live
in his own house is wrong. If we are assessed a fee, one would think
all single family dwellings in Iowa City would have to be inspected
and assessed a fee also.
Thank you,

To: Members of the City Council and the City Manager
From: Goldene Haendel, Chairperson, Housing Appeals Board i`y� ^(J
Re: 2103-05 Taylor �rive, Duplex Owned & Occupied by
James Mulford
Mr. Mulford appealed the assessment of the $4.00 fee and the
inspection of his owner-occupied unit, referenced above. The
Housing Appeals Board heard the appeal on August 13, 1981. �uring
the course of the appeal, Michael Kucharzak presented the Board with
the history of inspection and licensing procedures for owner-
occupied dwellings that contain rental units. Mr. Kucharzak further
stated that after reviewing the records of the Housing Code Task
Force and in consultation with Oiane Klaus, former chairperson oF the
Task Force, it is apparent that the intention of. the Task Force was
to continue the City policy of inspecting all portions of rental
property except single family owner-occupied homes that have no more
than two roomers residing in the house. It was further discussed and.
is the consensus of the Appeals Board that the inspection of owner-
occupied portions of rental dwellings is� necessary to protect the
safety and welfare of tenants in adjoining units.
The Appeals Board also discussed the fee assessed to dwelling units
that are owner-occupied. Rental fees are set by City Council,
Resolution 81-112 on May 5, 1981. The resolution sets the rental
permit fee at $20.00 per structure plus $4.00 per rooming unit or
dwelling unit contained within the structure. The resolution does
not exempt owner-occupied units from being assessed a$4.00 fee.
The Appeals Board voted to uphold the staff interpretation of the fee
schedule and the inspection of his owner=occupied unit.
Mr. Mulford was not present at the hearing, but spoke with Michael
Kucharzak at the conclusion of the hearing. Mr. Kucharzak informed
Mr. Mulford of the Housing Appeals Board decision. We understand Mr.
Mulford has now appealed the decision of the Housing Appeals Board to
the City Council. To assist in your review of this case, I have
attached to this memo our decision and copies of the orders and
letters upon which our decision wasinade.

December 2, 1981
Mr. Art Kodros, Manager
Hilltop Mobile Home Park
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Re: Bus Shelter Petition
Dear Mr. Kodros:
At its regular meeting of November 10, 1981, the City Council
received and placed on file your petition requesting that a bus
shelter be installed at the intersection of Southgate Street and
Waterfront Drive. I have discussed the request with Hugh Mose, our
Transit Manager.
`: According to the Transit Manager, the intersection you have
k suggested has already been noted as a suitable location for a
` shelter. However, the Transit Division, in• its evaluation of
potential shelter sites, placed this location on its secondary list.
This assignment was based on a desire to spread the ten available
shelters evenly around the City, and along your bus route the
, Lakeside Apartments area seemed to have a greater need.
I am reluctant to ask the Transit Manager to revise his shelter
location plans because with only ten shelters available, placement
at Waterfront and Southgate would mean that another deserving
location would be deleted from the list. However, if one or more of
the locations on our primary list are found unsuitable for the
erection of a shelter, we will give strong consideration to your
request. failing that, we will retain the intersection of Southgate
and Waterfront as a primary location when the City acquires
additional bus shelters.
Again, thank you for your petition. It is because of persons like
yourself, who take an active interest in our public transit system,
that the City continues to provide a high level of transit service.
We appreciate your continuing support. If you have any other
questions concerning this mattter or other city services, please
give me a call.
Sincerely yours,
Neal G. Berlin
City Manager

The topography is gently to
strongly slaping (2-15%).
The subject addition is located due south of the proposed Oakes Meadow Subdivi-
sion and in the Court Hill neighborhood. Other than this property and the
proposed addition to the north, this is a mature neighborhood which is almost
completely developed. The proposed development contains 1.8 acres, and would
result in 10 duplex lots (20 units).
Although no plat has previously been filed for this tract of land, it has a
history going back to 1977. At that time, Larry Waters sold off a portion of the
same tract to Dean Oakes cutting off access to Muscatine Avenue for the Oakes
parcel by retaining a strip of land (the area in question). Dean Oakes
submitted a preliminary plat for his portion proposing 44 units. The plat was
denied due to lack of secondary access to the south (Muscatine Avenue). An Iowa
Supreme Court case resulted which the City ultimately won. It was the court's
determination that the problem was caused by both parties involved. Mr. Waters
was considered to be at fault for not subdividing prior to the sale of land, and
then for refusing to allow access through his property. Mr. Oakes was
considered to be at fault because he had the opportunity to acquire the entire
tract and refused to do so, thereby creating his own problem.
Mr. Waters and Mr. Oakes have attempted to solve the problem by filing separate
preliminary plats for the two properties at the same time. In this manner,
Waters First Addition would provide a portion of the secondary access required
to serve Oakes Meadow. Staff is concerned over the use of two separate plats to
show the proposed alignment of the street to its intersection with Muscatine
Avenue since there is no way to guarantee that both subdivisions will develop at
the same time. If Oakes Meadows develops first, it could be completed without
the secondary access which Waters First Addition is proposing to supply. To
alleviate this possibility, the entire tract ought to be platted as one
subdivision as should initially have been done.
Other concerns stated in the Oakes Meadow staff report (#5-8115) are applicable
to the subject area as well. Please see that report for further information.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that consideration of the preliminary plat be denied. Upon
resolution of the following comments and deficiencies and discrepancies, the
staff would recommend that the preliminary plat be approved:
1.
2
Water's First Addition and Oakes Meadow Addition should be combined as one
piat.
Realignment of the proposed "Dover Street" to intersect with Muscatine
Avenue at Carver Street.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES
1. The southern end of Dover Street, at its intersection with Muscatine
Avenue, should be included as part of the plat.

boundaries are formed by the following arterial streets:

Boulevard to the east. The proposed development contains

J
Court Street to the
the south, and Scott
7.1 acres, and would
(44 units total).
The proposed subdivision has a history going back to 1977. At that time, Larry
Waters sold the subject property to Dean Oakes, who then filed the original
preliminary plat. The plat was subsequently denied due to lack of secondary
access, resulting in an Iowa Supreme Court case which the City won. It was the
Court's determination that the problem was caused by both Mr. Waters and t9r.
Oakes. Mr. Waters was considered to be at fault because the two properties were
originally part of the same tract, and they should have been subdivided prior to
the 7.1 acres being sold to Dean Oakes. Mr. Waters further exacerbated the
problem by then refusing to allow access through his property. Mr. Oakes was
considered to be at fault because, as established by the court, he had the
opportunity to acquire the entire tract and refused to do so, thereby creating
his own problem.
Mr. Oakes and Mr. Waters have attempted to solve their problem by filing
separate preliminary plats for the two properties at the same time. Waters
First Addition (see staff report 5-8114), the plat for the property to the
south, shows a portion of the secondary access (although not all of it - this
will be discussed later) for Oakes Meadow. Staff is concerned over the use of
two separate plats to show the proposed alignment of the street to its
intersection with Muscatine Avenue since there is no way to guarantee that both
subdivisions will develop at the same time. If they do not, Oakes Meadow could
potentially be developed without the desired secondary access. To alleviate
this possibility the entire tract ought to be platted as one subdivision as
should initially have been done.
Another concern which was brought up by the staff during the review of the
original plat was the street configuration to the north of the addition which
resulted in two approximately 50 foot radius curves. This issue and that of
continuity are discussed in the attached memo of October 14, 1977, from Jim
Brachtel. As can be seen on the accompanying plat, the applicant still proposes
this street alignment, as well as adding an 80 foot radius curve further south.
Staff feels that since this street will carry a significant amount of traffic,
it should be designed as such. The Engineering Division has determined that a
minimum standard for the reverse curve should be with a 150 foot radius. This
will result in a much smoother and safer traffic flow.
While the applicant now proposes a secondary access to Muscatine Avenue, which
runs partially through Waters First Addition, this access is currently not
totally included in either plat. This is unacceptable and the plat should not
be approved until the entire street right-of-way is included in the plat and can
be dedicated with the final plat. A more important problem, however, concerns
the location of the proposed secondary access. Currently, the applicant
proposes to tie the street in question into Muscatine Avenue at its intersection
with Dover Street. It is the staff's contention that this area will be better
served by a secondary access point at Carver Street.
The Dover Street design is not as functional from the City's point of view for
two reasons. First, this configuration has resulted in an 80 foot radius curve,
which once again is a smaller radius than is desirable (150 foot radius). More

importantly, this street may function as a minor collector to service this
neighborhood. If connected to Dover Street, this street wi11 become a through
route encouraging the sAort cutting of traffic. Both these problems are
alleviated by making Carver Street, which dead ends at Wayne Street, the access
point.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends that consideration of the preliminary plat be denied. Upon
resolution of the following comments and deficiencies and discrepancies the
staff would recommend that the preliminary plat be approved:
1. Oakes Meadow Addition and Waters First Addition should be combined as one
plat.
2. Redesign of the street alignment to remove any curves of less than a 150
foot radius.
3. Realignment of the proposed "Dover Street" to intersect with Muscatine
Avenue at Carver Street.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES
1. Plat should show fire hydrants every 400 feet.
2. Legal description and tract do not coincide.
3. The southern end of Dover Street, at its intersection with Muscatine
Avenue, should be included as part of the plat.

TO: Don Schmeiser, Senior Planner
FROM: Jim Qrachtel, Traffic EngineerJ�
RE: Oakes Meadow Estate Addition
In the area bounded•by Muscatine Avenue, First Avenue;- Court Street and�
Scott Boulevard extended, there are three streets which provide access
to the south. These streets are Southlawn Drive, Wi11ow Street and
Juniper Drive. All three streets are local streets .with Southlawn Drive
having an elementary school abutting it on the east.. It would be desirable
to provide a fourth means of access to this area from.'Muscatine Avenue.
The proposed alignment of Meadow Drive would.provide tfiis additional access.'
Further, it is the only opportunity the City has for a link street 6etween
Muscatine Avenue and Friendship Street between Southlawn Driv� and First
Avenue. This north-south.continuity is desirable. .. .
If the Commission concurs that this contiouity is desirable, then it.
should follow that the�intersection of t+leadow Drive and Perry Court as
proposed is undesirable. The developer has.raised concerns about .
excessive speed on t4eadow Drive if a reverse curve ali9nment was used
in lieu of the proposed alignment. While speeds ma be impacted at the
curve the typical driver will be back to speed within a very short
distance from the point of (1) reverse curve or (2) double corner.
Further, if the driver perceives excessive delay in the double corner
area he may well attempt to compensate for the delay by driving faster
after he leaves the double corner area.
Generally, the reverse curve alignment would provide for a smoother safer
facility than the double curve as proposed�.. While a reverse curve may :
have negative impact on the lot•configuration as proposed, reconsideration
of lot configuration as' it would compliment a.reverse curve may yield a
better overall subdivision. •
Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

this area if the Oakes Meadow and Waters First Additions had been submitted in
one plat. Therefore, provision should be made for storm water detention either
in conjunction with Oakes Meadow Addition, or independently.

'��' 919 S. Dubuque
Members of the Iowa City City Council:
The Tate Arms Intentional Family would like to express its concern
with the present status of the Lower Ralston Creek Project. We realiie
we have a personal stake in the matter, but if our house is condemned it
is a direct result of the council giving its ok to spend federal block
grant funds that could be allocated to meet human needs of the citizens
of our community.
The city has already spent:
$ 87,000--on engineering plans and property,
310,000--from block grant appraisals
390,000-#im�additional:funds;•tota'ing
$787,000.
This dam project has cost citizens, on one way or another approximately
! $B00,000. The cost for a6quisition of the two houses at 912 and 914
� S. Dubuque and insurance agency on W. Benton is now estimated to be
y $209,000 which includes:
� $189,000--for land acquisition
� 11,000--for relocation
; 9,000--for demolition and clearance
� $209,000.
; We feel that th� great cost would be wasteful for the community to endure,
.
� especially since it has been shown that the land being conde�d is not
i necessary for full flood control. One of the original objectives of the
� dam project was to decrease the "blight" of the area. 914 S. Dubuque
was rat infested and may have been a health hazard. The house is now
a licensed (by the city) boarding house, holds ten of us in a healthy, safe
reasonably priced environment, and is one of the nicer houses in south
' Iowa City. This original objective has been taken care of.
� It is our understanding that the land, if bought by the city, could
�� be sold for commercial use. There�re many vacant lots in the area
' or warehouses that are �Lo longer in use which could be sold for that
purpose. There is a housing problem in Iowa City and by acquisitioning the
two properties on S. Dubuque, 15 people will be displaced and unnecessarily
inconvenienced.
We urge you to reconsider the recommendation of the Committee of
� Community Needs and put the people of Iowa City and their homes and needs
; first.

TO THE FOLLOWING COMMISSION:
RIVERFRONT COF44ISSION
One vacancy - Three-year term
Oecember 1, 1981 - December l, 1984
This vacancy is to be filled by a representative
of the University of Iowa.
It is the duty of inembers of the Riverfront Coimnis-
sion to investigate, study, review and analyze the
riverfront needs and to meet such needs within the
City of Iowa City; to investigate and determine

George Robert McCormick Historic Preservation Task Force
Experience - I feel I am very well qualified for this task force on several fronts.
1) I am a member of The National Trust for Historic Preservation and have for
three years followed closely their publications and activities. I have
participated in several seminars on adaptive use of older buildings.
2) I was one of the original group of Northside residents who organized to
save many of the older buildings from being torn down for new apartment
construction. We fought several zoning battles, were involved in several
law suites, and argued with many city officials over maintenance of city
services and enforcement of ordinances on the Northside. Happily, we
find after four years everyone is working together and the area is a
very pleasant popular section of the city.
3) I have prepared a presentation on the buildings and history of the
Northside which I have presented on a number of occaisions. Last year
I used this lecture as a base for a walking tour of the Northside which
was published and is available at Old Brick. A copy of this tour is
enclosed.
4) I am President of The Friends of Hotel Lakeside which is a group that
is restoririg the 110 year old 106 room victorian Hotel Lakeside at
Lakeside, Ohio. Because of working with this group I am thoroughly
familiar with many building codes and changes which either have to be made
in these buildings and also those which do not. I have dealt with
listing the building on the National Trust and actually we are currently
in the process of listing part of the Village Of Lakeside around the hotel
also with the National Trust.
Constributions - My interest in the Northside of Iowa City and my previous
experience working with structures listed with the National
Trust are probably the prime contributions I can make. It is
of utmost importance that any ordinace written be one that is
protective of the area but also realistic in that pfople of
, many economic states can live together there.

I believe the Ro�gow request for cit,y essisted financine i.s fle•wed in s
several significant ways--chie£ amonrz them her apparent admissior. sho
did not seek conventioaal financing for the nroject, (Oct, 9 memo

n�zilding plans on file for the projeet indicste the biiilding exnansion
will mnsist of primaril$ frame construction. ��hile I am mindf�xl of
the terri�ic cost difference between Pran�o construction and masonry
load bearing or steel frame/tr.asonr,y veneer constraction, it seems to
me the city�s long terminterest is better served b,y the latter tvne?
of construction. The baildinrs will last lon��r end generate n;ore tax

I nros.ime the owner did not propose a diPferent type of constraction, i
becznso tho sizc ot her lot and the desire to re-��se bhe esistin�? str�xb-

13oarow�s nlens indicate a part of hor lot will be c?iven over to nsrkin�r '

But it seems to me thet son!e sort of stondards onght to be adootr,d to

Re: Juceco, Inc. Application for Industrial Revenue Bonds
Juceco, Inc. has filed an application with the City for Industrial
Revenue Bonds in the amount of $100,000 (see attached letter from
Attorney Robert Downer). �
Statf review of the application has verified that the project
complies with all legal and City requirements such as meeting IRS
guidelines for tax-exempt status, the maintenance or increase in
employment opportunities in the community, environmental factors and
community service factors. �The financial review of the pro�ject
reveals no problem areas.
The application.forms submitted by Juceco, Inc. did not indicate that
they have applied for conventional financing. The reason stated on
the application for applying for IRB's reads "the IRB financing will
allow that adequate and proper improvements are made to the site to
more nearly place this business in a position to succeed. Service to
the customer will be better as a.result. The financing will
additionally, make the project a sounder venture from a financial
feasibility standpoint."
Staff recommends that the Council proceed with the issuance of the
bonds.

Re: Ralston Creek Village
Several documents from the Ralston Creek Village file relating to the
approval process and other issues are enclosed. On May 13, 1980, the City
Council approved the Preliminary and Final Large Scale Residential
�evelopment resolution.
There were two major concerns:
1. Parking area adjacent to Ralston Creek.
2. The easement for a City sanitary sewer.
The Board of Adjustment granted a special use permit which allows a
portion of the required parking to be located less than 32.8 feet from the
Ralston Creek bank. As the City code provides that a special use permit
is valid for six months, the developer would now be required to reapply
for this permit if parking is still required within this area. The
reduction in the number of dwelling units being proposed conceivably could
change the necessity for the special use permit.
In 1971, the City obtained an easement for a major trurk sewer through the
area which gave the property owner permission to build buildings over the
sewer. Further, the easement provided for City responsibility for damage
to the buildings resulting from negligence. The acceptable alternatives
were to move the sewer line or condemn an easement. As the easement runs
diagonally across the property, it was determined that the cost of the
easement could approach the value of the entire parcel, i.e. $200,000 to
$300,000. The $75,000-$80,000 cost for moving the sewer line appeared�to
be the least objectionable alternative.
In conjunction with the proposal for the issuance of Industrial Revenue
Bonds for this project the City Manager is attempting to negotiate a
satisfactory settlement of the sewer easement question with the
developer. The goal is to have the�developer assume all or as much of the
cost of moving the sewer line as is consistent with maintaining the
financial viability of the project.
This project will be discussed at the informal Council session of November
10.

Re: Large Scale Re ial Development Plan of Ralston
Creek Village
The Resalution approving the preliminary and final LSRD plan for
Ralston Creek Village was passed by Council at their regular meeting
held May 13, 1980. A building permit has not been issued for the
subject development. The LSRD provisions do not require compl.iance
with the approved plan within any set period of time.
The applicants sought and were granted pursuant to Section
8.10,02.12D.3 a special use permit to permit the required parking to
be located less than 32.8 feet from the Ralston Creek bank in the
floodway overlay zone. This permit was granted with the conditions
that signs be posted in the parking areas and provisions made in each
lease for apartments or parking spaces to give foreknowledge to
occupants of parking spaces, to the effect that risk of flood damage
to property exists. Further, the applicant shall provide �a warning
system to notify apartment occupants of potential risk occasioned by
heavy downpours within the watershed. The design of such a system
shall follow in principle the descriptions given the Board in the
public hearing by the representatives of the applicant.
Approximately 40X of the required parking spaces are affected by this
requirement.
No order or decision of the Board permitting a use of a premises is
valid for a period longer than six months, unless such use is
established within said period. The Board granted the special use
permit for the required parking for the subject development
March 15, 1979. Therefore, because the six month period has elapsed
without establishment of the use pursuant to the order of the Board,
it will be necessary for the applicant to reapply for a special use
permit.

Re: Ralston Creek Village
Facts
On March 15, 1979, the Board of Adjustment considered a request by
the owners of Ralston Creek Village for a special use permit pursuant
to Section 8.11.02.12D3 to permit parking within 32.8 feet from
Ralston Creek in flooding Overlay Zone.
Questions Presented
1. Was the Board authorized in granting the special use permit to ;
Ralston Creek Village?
2• Will the City be liable for property damage resulting from the I
issuance of the permit?
Conclusions
1. Since evidence was presented by the applicant in support of the
issuance of the permit and since the Board is expressly
authorized to issue special use permits within the Floodway
Overlay Zone, the trial court may not substitute its judgment
for that of the Board.
2. A city is not liable for failure to assure that a building
project would not injure its neighbors before issuing a permit
for construction.
Discussion
Section 8.11.02.12� of the Code of Ordinances states: The following
uses may be permitted within a Floodway Overlay Zone upon approval of
a Special Use Permit: (3) Parking, loading areas and other similar
uses when located less than 32.8 feet from the stream bank.
Section 8.11.02.13E lists the factors which the Board must consider
in determining whether to grant a special use permit:
1. The probability that materials may be swept onto other lands or
downstream to the injury of others.
2. The proposed water supply and sanitation systems and the I
ability of these systems to prevent disease, contamination and
unsanitary conditions.

The susceptibility of the'�proposed facility and its contents to
flood damage and the effect of such damage to the individual
owner.
The availability of alternative locations not subject to
flooding for the proposed use.
The safety of access' to the property in times of flood for
ordinary emergency vehicles.
The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise and
sediment transport of the floodwaters expected at the site.
7he Board discussed these factors and considered primarily the
possibility that vehicles might be swept downstream. Board members
pointed out that parking is expressly provided for as a special
exception and therefore it must have been the intent of the Council
to allow this use under some circumstances.
The Board considered the standards set forth in Section 8.11.02.1381
and made a finding that the proposed parking did not involve a
structure which would reduce the water storage area or impede the
stream flow, nor would it raise the grade. The Board imposed
conditions to reduce the risk of flood damage:� signs in the parking
area, notice in the lease and a warning system in the apartment
building.
Section 414.15 of the Code of Iowa pr^vides that any person may
appeal a decision of the 8oard of Adjustment within 30 days by a
petition setting forth that its decision is illegal, in whole or in
part, speclfying the grounds of the illegality. In appeals of
decisians of the Board of Adjustment, it has been held that a trial
judge could not substitute his judgment for that of the board in the
absence of arbitrary, unreasonable or capricious action by the
board, nor could the Supreme Court substitute its judgment for that
of the trial judge if his determination rested on substantial
evidence. The court also stated that there is a presumption of
regularity in the official acts of public officers, and, in the
absence of clear evidence to the contrary, courts presume that they
have discharged their duties. The board is presumed to have found
the existence of such facts as were necessary to sustain its action.
Had defendants presented no evidence, the court's decision would
have been otherwise. Johnson v. Board of Adjustment, 239 NW 2d 873,
887 (Iowa, 1976).
A review of Johnson and the cases cited therein indicate that the
court is reluctant to substitute its judgment far that of the Board.
It must be shown that the Board exceeded its authority or otherwise
acted illegally. Since the applicant, Ralston Creek Village,
submitted evidence in support of the special use permit, the City
would have a difficult burden to show that the Board acted illegally.

With regard to the potential liability of the City as a result of the
issuance of the special use permit, the holding in Miller v. Cit_�( of
Brentwood, 548 SW 2d 878 (Tenn 1977), would seem applicab�. In
Miller, property owners in the lower part of a subdivision sought to
enjoin the City from authorizing or issuing any further building
permits for projects which would increase the storm water drainage
flowing past or through their lots. Their principle argument was
that the City was legally responsible for the flooding,nuisance
caused by the collective adverse impacts of projects which it
approved. The court noted that no authority was cited to support
this argument and stated that none was found by independent research.
"In spite of the recent propensity af some courts to undertake
•to supervise and direct the activities of other branches of
govern nent, none has yet been so bold as to hold a local
government liable for faitureto assure that a building project
would not injure its neighbors before issuing a permit for
construction. To initiate such a rule would make it necessary
for every municipality to require indemnity bonds from builders
in fantastic amounts before issuing permits for any
construction. In short, the city would thereby be constituted
the liability insurers upon each building constructed by
permission of the city." Id, 882.

Re: Ralston Creek Village
IOn behalf of the Owners, Sam Abrams and Gary Abrams, we have been authorized to
- I prepare this letter advising the City that the Owners will coopera[e with [he
City by granting various easements for the relocation of [he h2 inch diameter
sanitary sewer.
1 j We understand that the Ci[y proposes to relocate this sewer by constructing a
new sewer along the westerly and northerly boundaries of the project and abandon-
ing a portion of the existing 42 inch sanitary sewer that would lie under the pro-
� posed buildinqs. The proposed easements required of the Owner would be as follows:
!
1. A 10 foot wide easemen[ along a portfon of the westerty boundary of
the project with the prov(sion that no building construction be
permitted within the easement.
2. A similar easement, approxima[ely 30 feet in length, north of the
proposed'apartment buildings where the proposed sewer would connect
to the exis[ing sewer.
3. For the existing storm sewer and sanitary sewer easements north of the
proposed apartment buildings, the existing easement agreements would
be revised to add the provis(on that construction of buildings on these
easements would be prohibi[ed.
4. Grant a new easement for possible future construction running ehe entire
length of the 5 foot wide strip of land that connects to Burlington
Street and en[ending this easement southerly to the point where the
relocated sewer connects to the exlstfng 42 inch sewer. This easement
�aould also need to include the proviston prohibitfng the construction of
buildings.

Reference is made to your letter of March 27, 1979 and
attached material relevant to a special permit issued
pursuant to Resources Council-approved Flood Plain
Management Regulations. The requirement that parking
areas located less than thirty-two and eight tenths feet
from the streambank must obtain a Special Use Permit is
a requirement that was imposed by the City and does not
reElect minimum Resources Council criteria. in other words,
in the absence of local flood plain management regulations,
the Council would not have any objections to the proposed
parking area provided such did not involve significant amounts
of fill or obstruct flood flows. Therefore, no further
approval or concurrence of the Resources Council will be
needed £or this project. '
Thank you for coordinating this matter with our office and
if you should have any questions, please feel free to

To: Neal Berlin and City Council
From: Eugene A. Dietz, City Engineer
Re: Ralston Creek Village (a large cale residential
development located south of Burlington Street,
east of Gilbert, and west of Van Buren)
Ralston Creek Village, an lSNRD composed of three apartment buildings,
will be discussed by Council at the April 3 formal meeting. It is the
opinion of Public Works that two problems surround this proposal and
very definitety make the complex undesirable as proposed. These two
problems are briefly:
1. The developer is praposing that two buildings be located over a 42"
trunk sanitary sewer which carries flow from the major portion of
east Iowa City.
2. . The developer has received permission from the 8oard of Adjustment
to park vehicles very close to the bank of Ralston Creek. These
cars will be damaged and/or floated away during flooding conditions -
certainly mare frequently than the "100-year storm".
The following paragraphs attempt to more thoroughly define the twa
problems and perhaps suggest a solution to them:
1. Trunk sewer -- In approximately 1971 a major trunk sewer was built
through this area. The City obtained an easement which gave the
property owr�er permission to construct buildings over the top of
the sewer. The easement further held the City responsible for any
damage to the buildings which might be caused as a result of the
City's negligence (a rather all-encompassi�g clause). Obtaining an
easement of this type was not a wise move,by the City, but it did
happen. One can only speculate that the construction contract
moved more quickly than land acquisition and for some reason the
City was reluctant to condemn. In any event the City is now in the
positian of watching a building being constructed over the top of
one of the main trunk sewers in the community. This is intolerable.
In twenty, thirty or forty years the sewer may sustain a failure
and it is probable the City will pay for not only the sewer repair
but for damage to the building. There are five alternatives:
a. Negotiate a clear easement -- This could be attempted but the
Planning and Zoning Commission was not successful in asking
the developer to reorientate buildings so that they would not
be over the sewer. It seems likely that the developer wi11
have to mairitain a high density on the site to maximize invest-
ment potential;

n,.«1r
i
�'"
Q
c.
Q
�
Condemn an easement -- As with the previous alternate, condem-
nation of an easement will render the site less valuable. It
is possible that the cost of condemnation for only easements
may approach the cost of acquiring the entire parcel;
Condemn the entire parcel -- The estimated cost of this option
i: thought to be $200,000 - $300,000;
Allow the buitdings to be constructed as shown; and
Relocate the sanitary sewer -- The cost of this option is
estimated to be approximately 581,000 (this assumes no costs
for easements).
The above alternates, all clearly difficult choices, are compounded by
other factors -- the same 42" sewer runs through other property between
! Ralston Creek Village and Burlington Street which is potentially developable;
the same 42" sewer bisects the parcel of land which we re�ently forfeited
` to the Rock Island Railroad Company; and the same 42" sewer lies directly
,beneath the proposed University of Iowa Credit Union Building at the
, corner of Van Buren and Iowa Avenue. I am aware that there do exist
; some structures over the sewer upstream from the Credit Union parcel and
� other potential problems may not have been discovered yet. I don't
( propose to offer solutions to each of these problems since the exact
! nature of each varies somewhat from the Ralston Creek Village matter.
i Nowever, the problems are interrelated and therefore you need to be
; aware of their existence.
Board of Appeals -- The City Floodplain Management Ordinance pro-
vides that nothing can be located in the floodway of the creek (the
floodway is a 100 foot wide section alang the creek) with only a
few exceptions. One of the exceptions is that parking areas can be
located in the floodway provided they are no closer than approximately
33 feet to the stream bank. Parking can be located closer than 33
feet if a Special Use Permit is obtained. This Special Use Permit
was meant to provide for unanticipated eventualities that might
occur. For example, if one side of a creek was very low khile the
other side of the creek was very high, it would not make any sense
to prohibit parking next to the creek bank on the high side.
Unfortunately the Board of Adjustment recently granted a Special
Use Permit to the developer of Ralston Creek Village in an area
which floods easily.
The Floadplain Ordinance states that there are conditions that
always apply to the granting of a Special Use Permit. A few of
these that relate to this matter are as follows:
(1) The purpose of a floodway is to prevent water from being
backed up more than one foot higher then it otherwise might
be. With cars parked in the floodway it is difficult to see
how floodwaters will not be backed up upstream.

:

... 3 ..
(2) In granting a special use permit the Board of Adjustment is
directed by the ordinance to consider the fallowing factors:
a. The probability that materials may be swept onto other
lands or downstream to the injury of others.
b. The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its
contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage to
individual owners.
c. The availability of alternative locations not subject to
flooding for the proposed use.
It is absolutely certain that car owners will sustain damage �
to their vehicles. In my mind the Board of Adjustment has
made a mistake in granting of this variance. The Board was
shown slides of the 1972 flood in which this entire area is ,
clearly shown to be �nder water. The Special Use�Permit still
has to be approved by the Iowa Natural Resources.Council, but !
discussions with the INRC staff reveal that they expect the �
local agencies to fully study the implications of a special
use permit and.that they will generally concur with the local
agency.
In summary the City is faced with an undesirable development. The
development is located in the floodplain of Ralston Creek and parking is
being allowed in the floodway of the creek. The development has major
structures located over a trunk sanitary setaer. Part of the problem
results from past actions by the City and part of the problem results
from present action by the Board of Adjustment.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Aside from being glad that I didn't work here in 1971, I do have some
thoughts about the problems involved. My recommended procedure is as
follows:
A. For Ralston Creek Village, authorize staff to obtain a design for
rerouting the sanitary sewer at an approximate cost of $81,000.
Because this procedure would create a certain benefit to the property
owner, it should be clearly understood that we will require non-
buildable easements for this relocation at no expense to the City.
There is undoubtedly a good argument to condemn the entire parcel
since it may be desirable to purchase a portion of the property
along the creek for flood protection at some later date. However,
the channel improvement is a separate project and should be able to
stand the test of cost/ benefit independent of this problem.
Furthermore, none of these solutions have been budgeted, making the
lesser expensive one somewhat more desirable;

B. Dircct legal staff (as time and schedule allows) to discover our
position on sewers in the other areas. It is not, in my opinion,
necessary that the sewer be relacated in all instances. In some
cases it may be possible to condemn easements or possible to win a
lawsuit if we do nothing at all; and
C. Override the Board of Adjustment's Special Use Permit approval for
•allowing parking in the flood plain. We could write a letter to
the Iowa Natural Resources Council asking that they not approve the
Special Use Permit. The feature problem with this is that we would
be asking a State agency to correct a mistake made'by our own local
agency. This recommendation would require that the owner reorientate
his buildings which may cause some major changes in plan as submitted

ANALYSIS
Access is via Gilbert and Van
Buren Street.
The entire site is located
within the 100-year floodplain of
Ralston Creek. The topography
level (0-2%).
The applicant proposes to construct three 24-unit apartment buildings, two of
which are situated on City sewers: a 42" trunk sewer and a 2-foot-by-3-foot
brick oval sewer. No other alternative for building location exists at the
density proposed due to the flaodway boundary. At the time of installation of
the 42" trunk sewer, the City entered into an agreement (1970) allowing the
applicant to build over the sewer. It is the staff's opinion that under no
condition is it advisable to build on a sewer but because of the aforementioned
agreement, the City has no legal recourse regarding building over the sewer.
According to 'the Flood Management Regulations, parking cannot be located less
than 10 meters (32.8 feet) from the Ralston Creek bank wi�hout the granting of a
"Special Use Permit" by the Board of Adjustment. Approximately 40% of the
proposed parking spaces are affected by this requirement. Appiication has been
made to the Board regarding this matter and action will presumably be taken by
the Board on March 15, 1979, before the Commission's formal meeting. If the
applicants' request is denied then the LSRD would need to be substantially
revised and action by the Commissian, therefore, could not be taken.
A common drive is proposed from Gilbert Street to serve as access to both the the
residential development and Abrams' Furniture Store. It has been the Legal
staff's opinion that in the event contiguous parcels are developed as part af a
coordinated development (in this case, provision of a common access) then both
parcels should be included within the LSRD plan. However, the Abrams' Furniture
building is not required to meet either the provisions of the Tree Regulations
(no alteration or change of use) or the Stormwater Management Ordinance
(building permit not required).

Human Relations Director
Personnel Manuals
Early in 1975 the City Council adopted the Personnel Rules and Regulations
now in existence. This manual included pay plans, benefits, procedures
and policies specific to 1975 which have since been outdated, primarily
through the collective bargaining process and by action of the City
Council. The manual encompassed 44 pages - not conducive to readability
and retention by the average employee.
The Human Relations Director has revised and updated the Personnel Rules
and Regulations to make them compatible with these changes and consistent
with collective bargaining agreements and current practice. During this
process three separate manuals were created as follows:
1. Personnel Policies
2. Administrative and Confidential Employees Rights and Benefits
3. Human Relations Department Procedures.
All three manuals are enclosed for your information. The subjects covered
in the Administrative and Confidential Employee Rights and Benefits
manual and the Human Relations Department Procedures manual generally
have been previously approved by the City Council and will continue to be
addressed as yearly budget items and pay plans or represent administrative
policy. Therefore, these two manuals do not reqUire your approval and
will be approved by the City Manager.
However,• the Personnel Policies will require approval of the City Council
and repeal of the existing Personnel Rules and Regulations. A resolution
covering these actions appears on the Council agenda for November 10. If
you have any questions the City Attorney, the City Manager and I will be
pleased to discuss this with you at an informal session.
Fersonnel Policies
This manual reptaces the existing Personnel Rules and Regulations. It
contains many areas of City policy in relation to its employees - Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action, sexual harassment, discipline, safety,
employee assistance; requirements regarding employee conduct - public
relations, appearance, conflict of interest, political activity; and
areas of employee rights - Civil Service protection, labor relations,
access to personnel files, job descriptions, etc. All of the areas
covered apply equally to all employees without conflicting with any
subjects covered by collective bargaining agreements, or the specifics of

/
benefits, or procedures that are subject to frequent change. This manual
would be distributed to all City employees.
Administrative_and Confidential Emplo ee Riqhts and 8enefits
This manual provides, for those employees not subject to the bargaining
process, information similar to that found in the City's collective
bargaining agreements. It contains specific information regarding
benefits and their use, leaves of absence, hours of work, salary informa-
tion relating to the administration of inerit increases, and a grievance
procedure modeled on that found in the Affirmative Action Policy. This
manual was designed to be updated frequently as specifics change and will
eliminate the problem of administrative and confidential employees having
to rely on the AFSCME contracts for information in a number of these
areas. This manual will be distributed to all administrative and
confidential employees.
Human Relations Department Procedures
This manual describes specific Human Relations Uepartment operational
procedures and is a"how to" manual: steps to be taken in hiring,
discipline, compensation adjustments, etc. The procedures are specific
to each bargaining unit, where necessary. This manual will be distributed
to all supervisory employees and will be accessible to all City employees.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this manual is to set forth the policies by which all
personnel-related decisions, made by either supervisor or employee, will
be guided. A policy is not a rule or a procedure - specific rules and
procedures may be found in negotiated labor contracts and in operating
procedures published by the Human Relations Department and other City
departments - but rather a guide to thinking and decision-making. These
policies define the area within which decisions should be made, and
guarantee that the decision made will be in line with overall City goals
regarding employee relations. Policies provide for necessary flexibility
within a framework of guidance that will assure consistency in personnel
decisions.
ADMINISTRATION
These policies shall cover all City employees, except that temporary
employees may not be covered by all provisions. Iowa City Public Library
employees are excluded.
Questions of interpretation should be addressed to the Human Relations
Department. The City Manager or designee shall be responsible for the
final interpretation of the application of these policies to issues which
are not specifically covered by using the principles expressed herein as a
guide.
All permanent employees of the City shall be furnished a copy of the City
Personnel Policies upon appointment, and shall be advised of any changes
or amendments.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OAPOR7UMI7Y/AFFIRMA7IVE ACTION
General Policv
As established in the Affirmative Action Policy of the City of Iowa City,
it is the policy of the City to provide equal employment opportunities for
all employees or potential employees of the City regardless of race,
creed, color, sex, ancestry, religion, age, sexual orientation, marital
status, mental or physical handicap or disability, except where age, sex,
or physical ability constitute a bona fide occupational qualification
necessary for job performance. This impartial judgment shall extend into
all areas of personnel administration.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is a form of employee misconduct which undermines the
integrity of the employment relationship. Sexual harassment is
deliberate or repeated unsolicited verbal comments, questions,
representations or physical contacts of an intimate sexual nature which
are unwelcome to the recipient. Sexual harassment can take the form of
making or threatening to make decisions affecting an employee's job on the
basis of an acceptance or refusal of a request for sexual intimacy.
Sexual harassment can also take the form of conduct that has the purpose
or effect of substaptially interfering with an individual's work
performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work
environment.
Sexual harassment is unacceptable conduct in any form, and can be a basis
for a sex discrimination charge. Employees who engage in sexual
harassment can expect serious disciplinary action.
All City employees have an affirmative duty to prevent sexual harassment
in the workplace by producing an environment that exposes and discourages
sexual harassment of all kinds.
Complaint Procedure
The City is receptive to receiving complaints of sexual harassment or
denial of civil rights and appropriate action wi11 be taken. Employees
charging sexual harassment or denial of their civil rights may use
grievance procedures outlined in the City's Affirmative Action Plan or may
appeal informally to appropriate and impartial supervisors and to the
Human Relations Department.
LABOR RELATIONS
The City recognizes its duty to bargain collectively only with those
employee organizations certified by the Public Employment Relations Board
as provided by State law. Pursuant to this requirement, the duties,
obligations, and rights of the City and each certified employee
organization are set forth in the collective bargaining agreements

Appearance-Grooming
Employees are expected to maintain personal appearance and a level of
grooming which is considerate of other employees, and projects an image
which inspires the confidence of citizens and others with which the

Supplemental Employment

must in no way interfere or conflict with the satisfactory performance of
City duties. No employee is to conduct any supplementary employment
during regular working hours unless authorized leave has been approved in
advance. Supplemental employment is not encouraged.
Education
Advance approval from the City Manager is necessary for an employee to
engage in any educational effort during normal working hours, other than
that which may be provided by the City. Consideration of the request will
� be based upon the direct benefit to the City, and a demonstrated ability
of the employee to effectively carry out the responsibilities of his/her
position. Employees are encouraged to schedule educational programs
outside of regular hours whenever possible. Approval of any educational
effort during regular working hours will be the exception.

referral service and other available community resources. Alcoholism or
drug addiction as illnesses are not causes for discipline, but if
assistance is offered and job performance is not raised to an acceptable
level, disciplinary action will be taken. Nothing in this section
relieves employees of responsibility for conduct on the job.
DISCIPLINE
Disciplinary Measures
The responsibility of the City to maintain efficient operations
occasionally may require taking disciplinary action against employees.
The objective of discip)inary action is to correct behavior and produce
efficient City operations rather than merely to punish wrongdoers.

bargaining agreement for further clarification. �

procedures to issues which are not specifically covered by using the
principles expressed herein as a guide.
This document should be read in conjunction with the Personnel Policies of
the City and negotiated labor contracts. Questions of interpretations
should be addressed to the Human Relations Department.

ate.
In awarding merit increases to employees, only the employee's
performance should be considered - not longevity, volume or
difficulty of work, job classification, supervisor's opinion on the
adequacy of the salary range, or any other area which has already
been addressed through the establishment and administration of the
classification/compensation program.
At any time that an employee's performance warrants either a half-
step increase or no increase at all, a performance improvement
program, outlining performance deficiencies, required corrective
action, and a timetable for performance improvements must be
established during the performance evaluation. At the supervisor's
option, award of the increase may be considered later following
substantial perf.ormance improvement. Later award of a merit
increase wi11 not affect timing of eligibility for consecutive
increases.

esigne to motivate and reward the achievement of superior perfor-
mance not recognized through the general r�ierit increase -(which is
based on cumulative performance in all areas of job responsibility),
and which is above and beyond that performance normally achieved.
All administrative employees wi11 be eligible to receive bonuses
based on performance, regardless of whether they are at the maximum
on the salary range. Bonuses wi11 be paid in a lump sum, will not

A. General Policy
As established in the Affirmative Action policy of the City of
Iowa City, it is the policy of the City to provide equal
employment opportunities for all employees or potential
employees of the City regardless of race, creed, color, sex,
ancestry, religion, age, sexual orientation, marital status,
mental or physical handicap or disability, except where age,
sex, or physical ability constitute a bona fide occupational
qualification necessary for job performance. This impartial
�udgment shall extend into all areas of personnel
administration.
B. Responsibility
It is the responsibility of each and every employee to produce
an environment in which a program of equal opportunity and
affirmative action can be achieved. It is also the respon-
sibility of administrative employees to implement the Affirma-
tive Action policy in good faith and in so doing eliminate
artificial barriers to equal emplayment opportunities.
II. SEXUAL HARASSMENT
Definition
Sexual harassment is a form of employee misconduct which
undermines the integrity of the employment relationship.
Sexual harassment is deliberate or repeated unsolicited verbal
comments, questions, representations or physical contacts of an
intimate sexual nature which are unwelcome to the recipient.
Sexual harassment can take the form of making or threatening to
make decisions affecting an employee's job on the basis af an
acceptance or refusal of a request for sexual intimacy. Sexual
hzrassment can also take the form of conduct that has the•
purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an
individual's work performance or creating an intimidating,
hostile, or offensive work environment.
Sexual harassment is unacceptable conduct in any form, and can
be a basis for a sex discrimination charge. Employees who
engage in sexual harassment can expect serious disciplinary
action.
B. Duties of Administrative Employees
All administrative employees covered by this agreement have an
affirmative duty to prevent sexual harassment in the work place
by producing an environment that exposes and discourages,
sexual harassment of all kinds.

Re: Use of Small Buses in Richmond, Indiana
On Monday, October 19, I spoke with Darryl Sheffer, Transit Manager in Richmond,
Indiana, regarding their use of small buses in their transit system. We spoke
at some length and he provided me with the following information:
The City of Richmond has a population of about 44,000; it is largely an
industrial town. The municipal transit system owns twelve buses, including two
with wheelchair lifts. The entire fleet is comprised of Wayne Transette 17-
passenger buses. Seven buses are on the street during the base period, and one
additional vehicle is operated during peak hours. Service is provided six days
per week, with no buses in the evening. Ridership is very low, averaging less
than 1,000 passengers per day. The riders are mainly senior citizens and
shoppers, plus a few school children; the system serves very few work trips.
The City of Richmond took over the transit system approximately ten years ago,
when the former private owner went out of business. Under the private operator
the system had used full-size transit coaches, but when .the City took over it
purchased smaller Twin Coaches with a seating capacity of approximately 30.
These buses did not prove satisfactory, especially after the manufacturer went
out of business and parts became difficult to locate. Because ridership
continued to fall, when the Twin Coaches were replaced in 1979 the system opted
for even smaller buses and purchased Wayne Transettes. These buses have been in
service for the past two years.
The Wayne small buses are gasoline powered with 400 cubic inch Chevrolet
engines. The buses utilize body-on-chassis construction. Most units have
approximately 100,000 miles on them, and so far all components seem to be
holding up all right - engines, transmissions, rear ends, etc. Richmond hopes
to get five years' service from the vehicles, and expects that the chassis and
body wi11 wear out at about the same time. The buses cost $21,000 new in 1979;
the same vehicle today would cost about $5,000 more.
The advantages noted for this type of vehicle are good gasoline mileage (7 mpg),
lower maintenance costs than the former Twin Coaches, driver acceptance, and
which,severely hampe saboa ding and deberkingdwheneverastandeestarenpresent,sand
the small capacity, which presents a problem at peak hours, when not all taaiting
riders can be accommodated. The total capacity of each vehicle is 29, 17 seated
and 12 standing.
Mr. Sheffer seems well satisfieci with the Wayne Transettes in their type of
operation. However, he was very emphatic that in Richmond "people just don't
ride the buses anymore."

To: City Manager and City Council
From: Hugh Mose, Transit Manager �,(�'7f'
' U
Re: Leased Small Buses
Iowa City Transit is presently confronted with both a problem and an
opportunity. The problem is a lack of capacity at rush-hour during the
winter months. The opportunity is a chance to experiment with some small
buses that are available for lease from Rock Island, Illinois.
To address both issues we propose to lease three of these 30-passenger
Twin Coaches from Rock Island and operate two on the street. This will
allow us to test the feasibility of small buses in our type of operation,
help alleviate the overcrowding problems that are certain to plague us
this winter, and to experiment with rush-hour "trippers" prior to the
arrival of our new buses next spring.
Assuming that these vehicles were placed in service in mid-January and
operated until the University's spring break, the cost of the project
would be as follows:
Lease of three buses @ $400/bus/month
Drivers'.wages (two temporary employees)
Bus maintenance by Equipment Division
(@ 60Q/mile)
Driver traaning, schedule preparation,
publicity, etc.
_ $3600
_ $3300
_ $3600
_ $ 500
farebox revenue (from additional riders) _ ($3000)
Net cost to City • _ �gQQ�--
It should be noted that these buses may not provide the high level af
comfort and reliability that our transit riders ha've come to expect.
However, for lighter duty, lower ridership routes and'"rush-hour only"
service, these buses should perform satisfactorily, allowing experimenta-
tion with the small bus concept and helping meet our wintertime capacity
needs.
If the City Council is at all interested in this proposal, the Transit
Division and the Equipment Division will inspect the buses, begin -some
preliminary •negotiations with Rack Island, develop some tentative
"tripper" routes, and report back to the Council with a complete proposal
no later than the end of November.

_ ANALYSIS
Second quarter staff work
This report.documents that the library staff did much more than survive
during the first three months of service in the new building. But the
!^ass9va increases in use, including a one-time bulge in circulation and
consistently large increases in other services has left the library
seriously overspent in temporary hours for FY1982 and with many essential
administrative and collection development tasks unfinished and behirtd
schedule.

Re: Transit Assistance and Meeting with UMTA Administrator
This past week the U.S. Senate passed a transportation bill which provides
that Section 5 operating assistance shall be distributed based on the 1980
census. The City has been working with Senators Jepsen and Grassley and
particularly Representative Leach to attempt to get language placed in the
bill which would assure us of Section 5 assistance until Section 5
assistance is phased out. The bill will now go to a conference committee.
We will continue to work with the Congressional delegation and have asked
that we be alerted to the appointment of the conference committee.
This next Tuesday the Administrator of the Urban. Mass Transit
Administration will be in Davenport. Mayor Balmer, Mayor Kattchee, Mary
Neuhauser, John Lundell and I will meet with Mr. Arthur Teele in Senator
Jepsen's office. The transit operators, including Hugh Mose, probably
also will attend. We will attempt to gain support for utilizing the 1980
census figures and financial assistance for small transit systems.

Dear 7ohn:
Thank you very much for your letter in support of the
continuation of industrial development revenue bonds
and for the copy of Iowa City's policy regarding these
bonds.
As you know, there is considerable discussion currently
regarding the use and abuse of industrial developmen[
revenue bonds. Several bills now beFore Congress are
seeking to modify or target their use. No action is
being taken by Congress, however, pending receipt of a
specific proposal from the Administration, which is
expected this month. I will have Iowa City's experience
with industrial revenue bonds in mind as Congress con-
siders this proposal and the issue in general.
Thanks again for letting me know your views on this issue.
Sincerely,
.'

Re: Small Buses from Rock Island
On Tuesday, I called the Rock Island County Municipal Mass Transit
District to confirm arrangements io inspect the buses available for lease.
Mr. John Murphy, Assistant General Manager, informed me that we were
welcome to come and look at the buses, but that he had arranged with a
party from South Carolina, who wanted to lease all 18 of the buses for two
years, to have right of first refusal.
On the chance that the South Carolina deal might fall through, the
following day Terry Reynolds, Equipment Superintendent, Arlo Fry, Senior
Driver, John Lundell, Transportation Planner, and I visited Rock Island to
inspect the buses. We were sadly disappointed to find that in spite of
the fact that the buses are only seven years old, and that they were in use
until this past July, the buses are JUNK.
The four of us were unanimous in our opinion that the buses are in such
poor condition that we could not reasonably get them ready for service
wi.thout a considerable investment of time and money. Not only are the
liuses in questionable mechanical condition, but they all have severe
structural problems and their interiors have been badly neglected for some
time.
John Lundell and his staff are looking around to see if there are any
other small buses available that we could lease in a similar manner as we
had proposed for the Rock Island buses. Hopefully his information will be
available within the next two weeks.

Iowa City Waste Water facility
Since the passage of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments
(Public Law 92-500) in 1972, Iowa City has embarked on an aggressive
program of investigation, analysis, and evaluation of its sanitary sewer
collection and treatment system. This work resulted in the campletion of
Iowa City's Waste Water Facility Plan by October of 1979. The plan was
subsequently approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on July
7, 1980.
The Waste Water Faci)ity Plan recommends the following improvements to

Re: Library Service Cuts
Phone� 356-5200
"The new public library is drowning in a flood of enthusiastic
� response from the community", Director Lolly Eggers announced today.
In the first quarterly report to the Library Board, Eggers noted that
it appears that circulation is leveling off to a 15% increase over
old'building rates, but the overall number of people using the
building every day is staying at a hefty 43% increase. "That is
what's killing us," says Eggers. "We have been successful beyond
all our expectations and capabilities. There are now 13,500 users
for every staff inember available to serve them. In the old library
this staff/user ratio was between 8000 and 9000."
J
"'It is obviously one of the best bargains in town. In fiscal 1981
with 278,840 people using the Library, the cost per user was 32.40.
7his year with 420,000 people projected to use the library this cost
will decrease to S7.g0 per user. '� •
The Library has promised the public a showcase month to highlight
� • features of thz new building's service capabilities, and events for
� November's Grand Opening celebration will take place as scheduled.
i It will be the only major librar
! y programming for the yeac, however,
; and wiil be followed immediately with the imposition of limits on
� several services. "It is ironic and unfortunate that on the eve of
our grand opening celebration we have come smack up against the

realization that we cannot sustain the increases in use throughout
this budget year."
��While it is every librarian's dream to serve a community where 60% of
the residents are registered 1'ibrary borrowers, the impact of this
use on the collections and the staff's ability to reshelve, organize,
buy new materials and answer questions has been staggering. We
cannot continue to let collection maintenance and essential
"settling in" tasks go undone without long-term damage to the quality
of library service," Eggers said.
� �
Following a review of options and the adoption of guidelines as set i
t
forth by the Library Board at their October meeting, several service i
changes were accepted. According to Ed Zastrow, President of the
Library Board, "The goal was to cause the least inconvenience
possible to Iowa City residents."
! Beginning December 1, reciprocal borrowing agreements with public
� libraries other than Coralville will be discontinued. The
Coralville Public Library lends more to Iowa City residents than
' Coralville residents borrow from the Iowa City Public Library. Rural
iJohnson County residents who are served by annual contract between �
� the Johnson County Board of Supervisors and the Iowa Ca ty Publtc �
; Library Board of Trustees are not affected by this change. In
i
' addition, use of audiovisual facilities in the building wi11 be
i
! restricted to users who possess a valid Iowa City library card,
I

/E 7�
/
�
` borrowing privil�eges to state institutions located in Iowa City will
be severely curtailed, and tours will be available only to groups
whose headquarters are in or who provide services to residents of
Jahnson County.
Also starting December 1, the library will open at 1:00 PM instead of
10:00 AM on Thursdays and 10•AM instead of 9 P?1 on Saturdays.
' After January 1, the number of Children's programs will be reduced
; from ten to six per week and the number of items a borrower can check
out will be limited to ten per card.
Finally, none of the building's new service capabilities will be
offered this year including plans to acquire handicapped equipment,
other audiovisual services or adult programs, and library users will
have to stand in line a little longer to check out items or to have
questions answered.
j � "We feel these service reductions will increase the time available
� for essential support tasks without seriously limiting the public's�
access to library facilities," Zastrow said. "We are delighted that
the people of Iowa City have given their overwhelming endorsement to
i
the neW facility and 'services, and noN we must ask their '
� understanding as we adjust to the new workload and attempt to !
� maintain quality service." • '.

AALTIMOAE — No place, except
meybe Oakland, Calit., or�Newark,
N.l., ever got more knocks than
Balttmore. It was d blue•collar town
with a ring' eround the collar, a
spooky urban wasteland that looked
' as U the Great Fire of 1904 had
struck only yesterday. •
When the mayor's press secre•
tary, Chr(s Hartman, moved here 14
years ago, his frfends in Washing-
ton, he recalled, had a singular
reaction: "Yuk."

Hollday, that took pretty girls and
tumed them' into prostitutes. Native
son H. L. Mencken was kinder,
sayfng only that latter•day Baltimore
resembled the rulns of a"once•great
. medleval city."
Few challenged the contention.
Haltlmore's piers on' the upper
Chesapeake Hay were. rotting, the
neighborhoods of br(ck row houses
were being devoured by decay and
by th0 early 1950s, when the city
hed not seen a new hotel or ofClce

surpdsed to learn abaut that dme
that Baltimore Aad lost I00,000
residents in 20 years.
Well, so much for doomsday.
Baltimore — or, as some locals call
IL Bawlamer — has had a$1 bfillon

Baltimore's renaissance is partic•
ularly noteworthy because the city
has used an unusual scenario that
could benetit other urbap centerc.
First, the Inidai impetus tor renewal
came from the local business com•
munity rather than govemment.
Second, lhe cIty has worked wlthout
an ove�ali master plan, favortng
instead a shotgun �approach that
devotes as much attentlon to reslor•

PLANNING AND ZONIN6 REVIEW: APPLICATION FEES
�. 3NTRODUCTION
In 1974 a study completed by the Department of Community Development revealed
that the fees being charged to developers for the review of subdivisions and
other development activities were considerably below cost. This held true also
for fees charged on rezoning applications and requests brought before the Board
of Adjustment. In order to close the gap between costs incurred and fees
charged, the City Council adopted an ordinance (74-2714) which increased the
amount an applicant would be required to pay for services rendered, thus
covering more of the costs of various review processes.
During the seven year period which has elapsed since adoption of the revised fee
schedule, a gap between the cost of the various review processes done by the
Department of Planning and Program Development (PPD) and the fees paid has
widened again. This disparity, between cost and revenue received coupled with
increasingly tight budgetary conditions, has led to the re-evaluation of the fee
structure by the planning staff at this time.
SCOPE OF STUUY
The fees to be evaluated in this study include those which cover applications
for the following:
1. Variances, exceptions, and other actions filed with the Board of
Adjustment.
2. Rezonings.
3. Subdivisions - preliminary and final.
4. Large scale residentiat and large scale non-residential development
plans - preliminary and final.
5. Planned area development - preliminary and final.
6. Combinations of numbers 3-5.
7. Vacations.
8. Annexations.
Fees paid for building permits and the costs incurred for inspections and any
"post-approval" services are not included in this evaluation. The study is
defined by the time at which a pre-application conference takes place and the
time at which the application is rejected or approved and recorded. Generalized
schemata of the review processes are shown in figures 1, 2 and 3.
BASIS FOR CHARGING FEES
Determination of the fees recommended in this report and the evaluation of
various fee structures have been based on the principles which underlie the
charging of fees for subdivision review and Board of Adjustment activities.
fees are charged to developers as a cost o( business, which public policy has
determined should not be subsidized by the community as a whole. The cost of
reviewing developers' plans to determine if the plans are in compliance with the
ordinances of the City is assumed to be part of a process culminating in some
speculative gain for the developer. This benefit which accrues to the developer

r�
is not necessarily shared by the community as a whole and therefore, a fee is
charged to cover the involvement of the public sector in the deve)opment
process.
The rationale for requiring a fee for rezoning applications is similar to that
in the cases of subdivisions and other development efforts. Property owners
generally wish to rezone their property to a higher density, allowing thereby, a
higher return on their land investment. Voluntary annexations follow the
procedures of a rezoning application and are, therefore, subject to the same
fee.
Vacations are usually instances in which property owners wish to own public
property which is not being used and which is adjacent to their land. The
benefits which accrue with property ownership are seen as justification for the
charging back of all appraisal costs to the individual in such a conveyance.
Additional costs of publication and processing have been added to the appraisal-
based flat fee in the past.
Processing fees for variances and questians of interpretation brought before the
Board of Adjustment have a different rationale. Those applicants who request a
variance or interpretation of the Code are appealing to the Board for relief
from a hardship imposed by the ordinances of the City. Ideally, a Board of
Adjustment should not grant a variance or waver in enforcing the Code except in
those cases in which hardship can be shown. The fee which is charged to the
applicant is calculated to discourage any arbitrary submission of appeals, and
is kept low enough so as not to create an undue burden on the applicant.
Another action dealt with by the Board of. Adjustment and requiring a fee is the
permitting of special exceptions to the Zoning Ordinance. These cases do not
require a demonstration of hardship but are determined by the Board's
application of the specifics of the ordinance. These applications often result
in a benefit to the applicant which is comparable to that described above in the
case of subdivision review. Therefore, a higher fee than that charged for
variances and interpretations may be justified.
LEGAL CONSTRAINTS AND ISSUES
When evaluating the fees and fee structures, a number of concepts which have
arisen in court cases in other states were considered along with the rationales
for charging fees discussed above. The decisive factor in much of the
litigation has been the reasonableness of the fee being charged. If a
municipality can show that the fee being charged is necessary to cover the cost
of processing the application and is not designed to raise revenue aver and
above those costs, the courts have decided in favor of the fees. As is the case
with most challenges to municipal ordinances, the courts generally assume the
legislated ordinances are reasonable and the burden rests with the challenger to
prove otherwise.
The costs which may be covered include not only those costs which can be
directly attributed to the review process, but may also include a portion of the
administrative costs and other indirect costs associated with the operation of
the relevant City departments. Some cities have attempted to include the cost
of long-range planning in their fees, however, if those fees are contested a
municipality may be required to show a specific correlation between long-range
planning functions and the review process.

ALTERNATIVE FEE STRUCTURES
Outlined beiow are three different ways to design a fee structure. The
advantages and disadvantages of each are noted.
COST ACCOUNTING
In order to ensure that fees cover only the costs incurred, a direct cost
accounting system is the best approach to adopt. However, the increase in staff
time spent on the accounting procedure itself may make this system less
attractive. Each person who is involved in the processing of an application is
required to account for time spent on the application; all charges for word
processing, printing, xeroxing, etc. need to be recorded; and, upon completion
of the review, a billing and collection process is necessary. An additional
liability with this type of charge-back system is that the developer is faced
with a degree of uncertainty as to the total amount of the processing fee.
Although an experienced developer can estimate his debt, the actual cost is not
known until approval or rejection is complete. The fact that some delays in the
process may be due to factors beyond the developers control, the assessment of
costs for extended meetings and negotiations may place an inequitable burden on
the developer.
The advantages to this approach are the legal security cited above and the
incentive for the applicant to submit all materials correctly and in a timely
fashion, thus making the entire procedure more efficient. Ideally, a well-run
cost accounting system could save the City and the applicant time and money.
However, the effectiveness of such a system depends heavily on the commitment of
all departments involved to strict accounting of the public resources used.
FLAT FEE PLUS COST ACCOUNTING
� This alternative consists of the payment of a flat fee at the time the
application is initiated. The fee is pre-determined according to the type of
application submitted; payments at the completion of the review process are
calculated based on the cost accounting system outlined above. The applicant
, may find that a refund, or an extra payment, is necessary upon completion of the
application review.

accounting approach. However, there is

system parallel those of the strict

The fee structure which is currently in use in Iowa City is one which requires
; the submission of a flat fee with each application. The fee is tailored to the
� type of process being requested and is graduated for some types of applications
according to the size of the development, or the area to be rezoned.
One of the advantages of this approach is the predictability of the amount to be
paid, giving the applicant more immediate information as to the cost of the
project and giving the City a more definite indication of what might be expected
in terms of revenues received. Since the fees are set, there is no comolicated

necessary. In conjunction with this increase it is recommended that the review
process be streamlined internally to decrease the amount of staff time required
for each application. Issuance of a publication with the filing of an
application, which explains the particular review procedure and outlines the
required documents needed from the applicant, could decrease considerably the
amount of time required of the staff for the review and revision of submitted
material. In addition, a procedural checklist to be used internally could
increase the efficiency with which an application is processed.
A proposal for a revised fee schedule is shown in Figure 9. The structure is the
same as that which is currently used by the City. The staff recommends that
either this structure continue to be used or, that the City adopt a flat fee and
charge-back structure. As outlined above, the flat fee and charge-back provides
revenue related to each process with the submission of the application and
allows for the complete recovery of all costs when the processing is completed.
The policy decision which must be made, in regard to the selection of a fee
structure, is the extent to which the City wishes to subsidize the action in
question. As a structure allows for less cost coverage, the greater is the
amount of public subsidy.
The recommended fees reflect a significant subsidy in cases involving a variance
or other action of the Board of Adjustment, and seek to decrease the subsidy in
the review of applications which result in the concentration of benefits to a
particular party. The extent of the decrease in subsidy may be broadened by
adopting the flat fees proposed in the schedule and instituting a charge-back
system instead of the per lot variable. The fee for special exceptions, also an
action of the Board of Adjustment, has been increased to cover costs, since the
economic benefit which is enjoyed by the allowance of an exceptian does not
justify the subsidy provided in other Board action; there is no question of
hardship in the granting of special exceptions.
The final recommendation of this study is that the fees

or extended cost accounting involved. The liabilities of this structure rest in
the fact that there is not necessarily a one-to-one correspondence between
processing costs and fees paid. Therefore, the City may find itself in a
situation in which excessive fees are being paid, or a situation in which the
fees paid do not come close to covering the costs of processing the application.
STUDY METHODOLOGY AND FINDINGS
The calculation of fee amounts and the selection of a recommended fee structure
have been based on three empirical factors:
(a) Comparisons with other cities in Iowa and with the fees charged in Johnson
County;
(b) Time records kept for specific applications processed in July 1981; and
(c) Gross figures of revenue and expenditures related to review processes in
FY81.
The 1974 zoning and subdivision fee study revealed that in a comparison with
other Iowa towns, the fees charged in Iowa City were significantly lower than
those charged in other Iowa muncipalities. As can be seen in a comparison of
Figures 4 and 5, however, that situation has changed so that Iowa City's fees
are roughly comparable to those charged in other municipalities. In terms of
more complex development procedures - planned area developments, large scale
residential and large scale non-residential developments - the fees in Iowa City
are high. However, it should be noted that many cities do not make a distinction
in their schedules between more complex review processes and the usual
subdivision review. The various zoning administrators and planners responsible
for review functions in the cities listed in Figure 5 expressed the opinion that
the fees which they currently charged were inadequate and did not cover the cost
of administering the program. A number of the municipalities planned on
increasing their fees in the near future.
In Johnson County, the fee schedule was revised in July 1981 to reflect
increased costs in the review process (see Figure 6). These fees reflect an
increase of between 100-400% of the original fees, depending upon the type of
application. The magnitude of the fees in this schedule are indicative of what
is required to bring the schedule more in line with the expenditures associated
with the various application procedures.
COST/FEE COMPARISONS - JULY, 1981 AND FY81
Comparison af the cost of review and the revenue received from fees during FYS1
and during the month of July 1981 reveal outstanding deficjts in all cases
(Figures 7 and 8). Most of the costs noted can be attributed directly to
particular applications, with the exception of word processing, multilith and
xerox, and car rental. These costs are charged to a division account and the
actual costs related to particular applications being examined must be
extrapolated. Even without those support costs, however, the disparity between
the cost of the time spent on an application and the fee charged is great.
RECOMMENDATION
In order to align more closely the public cost of processing and reviewing
applications with the fees paid, an increase in the amount of fees will be

NOTES ON THE REVISED FEE SCHEDULE
Prelimirtary plat appiications require a per lot fee in addition to the flat fee.
The per lot fee is intended to reflect the greater detail and close review
included in the preliminary plat requirements, which are a function of the size
of the development. The flat fee is intended to cover the fixed costs which can
be attributed to the minimum amount of time spent by all City employees on the
processing of an application plus the typing, printing and various costs of
overhead.
The higher flat fee for a submission containing a combined preliminary and final
plat is due to the increase in the minimum cost attributable to the review and
completion of legal papers for the final plat.
As stated in the text, fees for vacations have been determined by the cost of an
appraisal plus some minimal processing costs. The costs of appraisals vary with
the size of the parcel in question; however, a minimum fee can be estimated
based on the daily rate charged by appraisers. The recommended fee shown
reflects two days of appraisal work.
! Refunds and surcharges, previously included for rezoning applications, have
j been deleted from the schedule in order to recover casts as much as possible and
�� to simplify the schedule. The refund, previausly allowed, did not reflect any '
actual decrease in the cost of processing a withdrawn application but further !
� subsidized the rezoning.

PREFACE
As an advisory body to the City Council, the Housing Commission is
expected to recommend housing programs, policies and directions for the
Council to adopt, modify or reject. In order to perform this advisory
— role, the Commission must spend considerable time researching problems
and seeking solutions. Since the concept of congregate housing is not
fully understood by many, or if one does have some understanding, it is
_- limited to concepts and models coming from traditional funding programs
such as HUD Section 8 congregate housing complexes or from local
"congregate" type housing operations such as Oaknoll Retirement Residence
_ or the Mary 0. Coldren Home, it was determined in 1978 that the Housing
Commission would explore the needs and program concepts of congregate
housing. Money to plan and convene a workshop was included in the
Department of Housing and Inspection Services budget for 1979, however,
— the workshop was never explored as originally planned. The reasons for
not dealing with the Congregate Housing issue deal in part with the fact
that during this period of time, the State Housing law underwent a
— complete rewrite and mandated cities such as Iowa City to redesign their
code and inspection policies. This time consuming task left the volunteer
citizen group with little time and energy to work on "new" ideas.
At the urging of the staff, the Housing Commission again set the goal to
explore congregate housing as part of their program for 1980. The Council
again set aside some money for the Housing Commission and on September 23,
— 1981, the desires, conversations and planning of several years came to
�_ focus at the Highlander Inn and Supper Club, when 62 conferees
; representing the social service agencies; local, state and federal
�_ government; the greater Iowa City financial institutions; architects;
real estate people as well as university students and faculty came
;— together for a workshop on congregate housing. The workshop was
I specifically designed to allow the Housing Commission to listen to the
� i community, and after having listened, to formulate recommendations to the
; .� Iowa City Council.
j�-� From the opening welcome by Mayor Pro Tem Glenn Roberts, to the concluding
f l remarks by Housing Commission Chairperson Goldene Haendel, it was evident
that this was not just another workshop.
The excitement and enthusiasm of the workshop participants created an
'� electric effect that seemed to encourage and stimulate the main speaker,
James Sykes, Executive Vice-President of Colonial View Limited, the
�'' sponsor of Colonial View Apartments, a congregate housing complex in Sun
-�: Prairie, Wisconsin. The urgency, conviction, sincerity and empathy with
' which Mr. Sykes spoke of the needs of the elderly, especially his own
�� experiences in assisting elderly confront and overcome obstacles in
;'�� housing, and his challenge to •Iowa City to act, reciprocated the
electrical charge such that once the main address was concluded,
„ participants readily convened into their chosen discussion groups and
immediately busied themselves with the task at hand - that of formulating
~� some recommendations to the City Council by way of the Housing Commission.
The recommendations centered around the topics of how to best assess the
" housing needs of Iowa City's elderly population; how to provide basic
� support services within a congregate housing complex and within the larger
community; how to design a facility to be responsive to the spoken,
unspoken, known and yet to be known needs of the elderly who will make the

facility their home; to recommend a sponsor for the project; to assist in —
targeting possible site criteria for the facility; and finally, to suggest
methods of financing the project.
The text of Mr. Sykes' presentation, edited in part for ease of reading,
has been included in this report to help those who attended the workshop
refresh their memories, as well as to allow those who were unable to
attend to benefit by the knowledge and experiences of helping the elderly
as experienced and shared by Mr. James Sykes.

"CONGREGATE HOUSING: A COMMUNITY CHALLENGE ANO OPPORTUNITY"
An address by James Sykes at the Congregate Housing
^ Workshop held September 23, 1981, in Iowa City, Iowa
My work, something called Director of Public Service for the Wisconsin
Cheeseman, is a front, so I don't really work there, you see. I do indeed
— have the privilege that few people have of having my time to use as I
choose and I choose to use it in public service because that's where all
the fun is, as you know.
It's taken a long TIME to get through the preretirement training program
that I'm in but I hope by the time I'm 50 I will have learned some things
_ that many of you learned a long time, ago so that my retirement years will
be much better than those of your parents and the parents that preceeded
them. What better way to spend each day than to be involved in the lives
of older people. Many people get a lot of satisfaction from what they're
doing and others do a lot of things in order to have a little time left
over to get some satisfaction from what they're doing. My privilege is to
work every day with older people at a senior center and in elderly
housing. So when I play around with policy issues at the state level or
mess around Washington on some impossible kinds of problems and try to say
— something worth ]istening to, sometimes I'm not speaking as a planner or
_ as a policy person or as one who's read the literature, but as one who that
morning talked with somebody who's trying to make it on SSI or somebody
_ whose treatment program is going to be reduced or will be dif.ferent
because of policy at diff.erent levels. That's kind of the negative side.
, The positive side is that every day I get absolute verification of the
: gerontological truth that people can continue to learn, to grow and to
fulfill themselves at every age. Unfortunately, in most of our
communities and certainly in terms of national policy we have a dif.f.erent
� kind of a framework within which to deal with the subject of older people,
�— we tend only to deal with those in greatest need. Congress wrote it into
the Older American's Act last time around to identify the extent to which
'; those in greatest psychological and social need are being served by the
,., programs of the Older American's Act.
The new administration speaks of. safety nets. But just think for a
moment, were we to approach the problem of educating our children or
designing a livable city with a safety net mentality, we would not educate
our children nor would we create communities in which it's good to live.
You in Iowa City and we in Madison and Sun Prairie have, for lots of years,
built the kind of communities and the kinds of neighborhoods out of what
we give to one another and not out of desperate need but out of asking a
far more important question, the question of this workshop: "How can we,
together, with the resources we have, provide the kind of prograR�s, the
kinds of facilities, the kinds of opportunities, the kind of a community
in which people can, in fact, grow and develop and continue to ]earn and
to serve and to work?" And, at the same time, without segregating or
limiting people, to create the kind of communities in which those who
become ill, those who lose their source of income, those who face problems
either illness or psychological problems can still be full citizens;
people with the right to live in that community as much as those who,
fortunately, have productive jobs and opportunities or their health.
Well, it seems to me, I'm here to do two or three things that I'll try to
do expeditiously.

One, I think, is to underline what you, the community leaders, already -
know very well, and that is that there is a tremendous unmet need and an
unrealized opportunity for creating, strengthening, developing, and
furthering, within this community, the kinds of services, programs and -
housing that older people can benefit from and, indeed, the entire '
community. I congratulate you for the work already done. I am pleased to
note the Senior Center that has been opened. I am pleased to know of
Ecumenical Housing and I am pleased to know that this community is moving
as your mayor pro tem has commented.
I believe I am here in part to comment on how one community, Sun Prairie,
has identified its need, developed a plan, designed a program and a
facility, manages elderly housing and a senior center, but only briefly,
and I plan to allude to the results of that. I'm here, as I am wherever I -
travel, particularly in Wisconsin, to urge you to build what you know is
needed; to create and strengthen the kinds of programs that will add
quality to your community's life, especially for those who are older and
maybe to deflect you from becoming HUD-dependent. I think one of. the
realities that is apparent, at least to me, is the extent to which
communities be7ieve their response to their needs depends upon sections of.
the law or allocations from far away, �es Moines or Washington. To that "�
extent, you, in your local setting, deny your own strength and ability and
become dependent upon a very questionable, very doubtful source. I'll be
careful in those comments to acknowledge as one who has a HUD 202 project, -
that I'm terribly proud of the work that we have done with HUD. I'm proud
of a government that sets up a Section 8 and a 202 program and the kind of
service we've received from HUD. Nonetheless, the point is, that there is _
more strength, more capability, more potential f.or action in this room now
than there is after tremendous concerted effort by consultants and others -
in processing the kind of paper that would possibly make you eligible for
a grant or a loan under one of the HUD programs, because here, for every -
ounce of energy invested, there will be a payoff. . For all the effort
invested in preparing a document for somebody else, the grantsmanship
game, the odds are one in fifteen, one in twenty-five, one in thirty-
three, and that's not all you get with it is low odds, you get a number of
regulations and controls that may not, in fact, serve your community well. �
But I'm glad to say in my community I think those regulations and codes
and things have served us well.
Finally, I hope to raise some questions with you on a plan; in a sense,
sponsorship and management; touch on some of the financial planning that
goes into it; how to bring in and, in fact, incorporate and integrate the
supportive services; and a few comments about design.
Well, I believe that is what I'm supposed to do today. But let me speak
for a few minutes on need and I know, very well as I look into this -
audience, that I'm simply going to underline what you already know well.
Some of you may not know what some of the rest of you know and, of course,
that's the function of your workshops today. --
One of the strangest, most difficult concepts for me to grasp is the
tremendous gap between the beautiful, persuasive, highly-motivated,
thoughtful, concerted comments of. people in the pews or in the pulpit,
politicians in local, state or federal government, social scientists, and
children of older people. The words they speak about their responsibility
for the older people of our society, their parents, are beautiful, they're -
really terrific. The preamble, Article I to the Older American's Act, is
141CROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPI05•UES t101NE5
�
;::_
'— a statement that we can all be proud of, "People are entitled to
affordable housing suitable to their needs." The benefits of research
should be made available to this generation of older people. All
� citizens, of course, should have adequate cash income to be able to
compete in purchasing in the market place and to retain their dignity, and
on it goes. We are uniformly exceltent, as a nation, as a society, as a
_ community, in talking about older people and their needs. The gap is
between talking, and the fact that we are failures in translating that
beautiful language into programs. We don't spend so much time talking
about the importance of educating our children anymore because that's
given in our society.
In the State of Wisconsin, for every dollar that goes into services for
�— older people, $1300 goes for the education of our children. Nobody asks
whether that adequately reflects our social and personal concern about,
' the education of our children. On the other hand creating the kinds of
� programs and services and an environment in a community that older people
' also can continue to learn in, to grow in - 1300-to-one. We let the
;-� politicians, planners and the ministers off the hook by applauding and
' saying Amen to their definition of the need and our responsibility. We do
— nothing about the budgets that do not reflect that concern. Its easy to
take it out on the ministers and politicians, but let me ask you to first
look at your private budget and what you spend for the well being of your
;— parents to help add something to their lives as opposed to what you may
; have spent for your children, or most particularly what you spend for
; — yourself.
The need is there. But not to get into that philosophical world, let me
�- just be very concrete: In every community where there's a fairly normal
curve distribution of older people, let's take Johnson County, for an
i i example, if I've read the newspapers correctly and if their information is
correct, there may be something like 5,000 people over age 65 in this
'� county. If that's the case, the probability is that 85% of that 5,000
,�-; population are "doing fine, thank you." They're doing pretty well,
they've got nearly adequate income, they have a supportive community, they
�"" have a neighborhood, they have a nice home, and the taxes and mortgage are
;,,, paid. I think we ought to be proud as a society that we have for so many,
created the kind of a community, the kinds of jobs, the kind of
^^ productivity and the kind of nation in which that can be true.
f!� If Johnson County's a typical county, there are some five percent of the
,,.„ population over 65 that are already institutionalized. They are already,
because of. their health and their conditions, or if I may, because of the
' �� lack of alternatives, in institutions. So, if you're typical, there
remains 10% unidentified. Ten percent by fairly standard analysis of
�" needs of people who are in need of supportive services, of programs, of
�, cash income, because their own circumstances, whether financial, social
or f.or reasons of. health, are not sufficient to care for them. In 5,000
�^ that's 500. Now, please understand this is a broad stroke and I do want to
say something about how we began to cope with these numbers in Sun
" Prairie.
� Nonetheless, in your community, you as community leaders have a respon-
�. sibility to make certain that those 85% of our elderly population that are
doing pretty well, (I hope we can move that figure towards 90%). That
"" this segment of the people who are relatively well off are not just simply
� seemingly well off because they are not, in fact, sick or in institutions.

They may, in fact, be dependent on the county or the state or the federal —
government for all their food and well being. That's an important first
rule. The second, which is the point of this conference, is to really
focus on that 10% who are not well off and who are not institutionalized.
Admittedly, for iots of reasons, even within that 10%, there are many who
do have the informal supports that they need. But, by and large, by
definition, the 10% I'm talking about are those without that support.
Take a look at any county, any city, and you'll see that the overwhelming
percentage of those persons in greatest need of financial assistance; of
suitable housing; of social services; are, in fact, older women without
family nearby or effective family support. This is approximately a four-
to-one ratio w;th older men. We're talking about people who need your
help as a community.
The most important decision one makes at nearly every age in one's life is
where one lives. Just think about your own circumstances where you live.
That is, of your own needs. if you have little children, you want good
schools, or maybe have access to your job, or all kinds of factors; where
one lives is terribly important! No less so, and in fact, markedly more
so, for older people. By this I do not mean the sense of the option of the
"I'm gonna retire and I'm ganna move to wherever we move when we retire,"
concept; what a strange concept. Even more so for older people who have
lived in a home where their children have been raised, surrounded by walls
that have their history all through it and for them the option is not
where to move but whether to move. Any community that's doing careful
planning is spending a great amount of its resources •in making certain
that there is a place in that community with the kinds of support that
will enable those people who choose to remain in their homes to be able to
do so.
Homestead and elder]y tax exemptions do something to help. Home helpers
do contribute something else. But some effort must be made to facilitate
visitation; some way must be found to help people with their finances. -
Certainly some help must be given to home care, certainly something must
be done to keep taxes down so that they may continue to do everything you
as healthy active people do. This is what must be considered in planning.
That s the first line of attack and that's where you ought to be with as
many positive programs as possible.
Let us also recognize that choices erode away from many people. Unlike
the young families that began to add a room here and there or make the
decision to get into a larger house as necessary, our older couples or �
individuals are in the period of decline and instead of the promise of
tomorrow it becomes the predictability of a smaller income and less
ability to get around and to maintain themselves. It's not a happy time —
for making choices. It becomes doubly important for we who are in the
planning game, we who are responsible for our community, to make certain
that as much of the trauma is taken out of the move as possible. Let me —
suggest to you the easiest, best way to take trauma out of moves is to make
certain that move from their home, when that becomes necessary, is into
someplace that is promising that says something by its very architectural
design, by its very location in the community. This affirms that you are �
not being moved out of a place that is just so filled with you, your ,
history and your own personality, into a place that erodes it, that denies
it and for many that is exactly what has happened. When people can no —
longer care for themselves we move them into something not very
MICROFILMEU BY

��
_ � �
attractive, often into an apartment, often into some kind of a place that
they cannot afford. However, in a community that cares about its young
people and its older people, such a community makes certain that an
— inevitable move, is to someplace that adds dignity to that life. But that
does not "just happen", it takes planning and it takes commitment just as
much as it took planning and commitment to build the kind of edif.ices that
_ people could worship in, the same kind of commitment and money that it
took to develop those learning centers, those schools, with stout walls or
with attractive decor and design, that same level of commitment must be
focused on the problem. If you are a part of a community that says "we
— will spend 1300 times what we have in terms of our resources for the
education of our children as to what we'll spend for our elderly", then
there is also in your life and in your community a tremendous gap between
— the words that you mouth and the plan that you have.
Yes, we must do everything we can to keep people in their homes, but let us
not be caught by a mythology that surrounds that belief. All of us talk of
wanting to remain in our homes and be carried out feet first when we must.
� . That's our plan. But it's easy for some of the rest of us to look at that
population who have spoken that hope and say, "Isn't it wonderful that 88%
"' of the people in our community are stil] in their own homes or in their own
,� environment?" Look carefully at that environment. They live on main
� . street and they live down the block and they live in their own homes, but
` how do they live? Is it splendid isolation? Is that image of self-
I^ independence that is rep'resented by a person living in her own home, is
�— that overwhelmed with what that person needs in terms of other people? We
I_ have so many people among the 85% who, if there were a better option,
would leave that four bedroom house to some of the young families coming
-- along and would go someplace where they would be with other people. They
have bought a bill of goods such that their personality, their personage,
;— their concept of independence, their selfhood is tied to their living in
' that house even though it has become a very heavy burden around their
� necks. We must do what we can to make certain that we don't simply close
— our eyes to the many who we can easily presume to be well off and taken
' care of because they are living alone.
' In June I had the privilege of traveling in Scandinavia and I looked at
the plans, programs and the people of a nation where there is a national
�-� policy for caring for older people. Fifteen percent of the average budget
of a Norwegian village goes for the care of older people. Their
demographics are very similar to ours; they're not at 15%, they have about
�w 10% to 11% percent of their population classified as older people. That's
the commitment. Multiply out what 15% of your federal, state and local
� budget would represent in terms of services for the older people. I'm not
up here suggesting that you take 15% out of the City of Iowa City budget
�' and set it aside for the elderly, but please understand that when you take
,, 1% or one-half of 1% and devote it to the services for older people, that
very well may not be an adequate fulfillment of the pledge or a
~� translation of the rhetoric that you believe in your heart. And you who
are the critics from the outside, you who are the ones who are going to
''. make things happen, take a hard look at that budget and only give passing
... reference to the language that people use. Look at the budget, look at
what's being spent. And that budget has to do with churches and social
�� organizations as surely as it does with governmental budgets, and yes, it
� has to do with your own personal budget as well.

We know in terms of congregate housing there is a very specific gap that
service housing as it's called in the Scandinavian countries and
congregate housing as we've come to call it in this country, can fill.
And that is, the gap between those who are living independently and able
to get along really very well and those who are in sheltered settings,
skilled care facilities, nursing homes, hospitals, where they are getting
not only all the care they need but, in many instances, more than they —
need. But somehow, we are coming to an understanding that there may well
be a middle ground that may have a few of the tinges of the institutional
kind of living but that's a price worth paying if it's also the kind of a _
setting in which one can continue to live as independently as possible for
as long as possible.
The need is great f.or a specific response and we're going to talk about a —
variety of responses but it's not going to go away, it's not going to be
solved by ignoring it and it's not going to be dealt with intelligently,
wisely and principally by people who say: "But keep in mind these are the --
days of declining resources;" "The programs are going down the tube;
we're not getting more money into Section 8 ar 202;" Dan't believe them.
The problem is not going to go away because some of the sources of the _
funds in the past that have been somewhat available to partly respond to
those needs are being eroded, that's not going to happen, the problem is
not going to go away. _
Let me take just a few moments, and it's a little hard for me to start _
talking about Sun Prairie without getting wrapped up but I think it is
instructive. Sun Prairie is 13,000 people, 800 older people. Our senior •-.
center and our service area and our congregate housing complex serves what
we call northeast Dane County which is, eight townships and four villages --
as well as the city of Sun Frairie. When we started in 1969, we started _
with a few people sitting in somebody's front room acknowledging among
themselves that all but two, were older people and there was, in fact, in —
this community a need. And it was expressed in very pithy ways. "What
happened to Joe?" "Where did Mary go?" "How come we don't see Michael
around anymore?" The truth is all three were in the community but all had _
gone out of the normal ways that we relate to one another at PTA or in the
shopping centers or in churches where we see people. They had dropped -
out, but they still lived there. The older people themselves acknowledged
that there was a need in that community, they didn't have the word senior
center in their mind or a social service system or titles and codes, they
just said: "Hey, we who live here need some place to get together, we need
something to do, we need a role in life." Those were real words from real —
people, our people, not other people. And our community, like yours,
took those questions, those statements as a serious problem demanding a
community response. That is not to say that it is something one person _
can do. Oh yes, one can go visiting a person on a one-to-one, but it
required a broad community response. So we went to the City Council and
said: "Hey, the basement of the museum, it's open, there are two rooms `
down there and a john and a little pantry, can't we have that?" They gave
us that. We got to the end of the first year and we said: "We have $543 of
unpaid bills and we don't know where to go to get them paid." They paid
that. And that was about 10% of the recreation budget, for sure, in our —
small town. We weren't asking for a program comparable to what they were
giving to the kids in the parks but just a little bit to help us with a few
of the bills that came in. But at the very beginning, in our little story, _
there was a marriage, a cooperative relationship, not an adversarial
relationship but a working together. We the community had a problem and
MICROFILMED BY

that had to do with older people having no place to go and nothing to do.
We the community, as the leaders, Council members and others, had a
responsibility for not only adequate fire and police protection and clean
— and good and eff.ective parks, but also for the lives of the older people
who had bui7t that community.
- So around a little group of people in a little basement, no big resources,
no federal grants, nothing else, we just decided this was worth doing.
And from the very beginning some of our members began to recognize that
_ for those who came there were also some who could not come or did not come.
From the beginning our senior center had a outreach component. We didn't
call it that. Some of the members on the council went out and visited
"" other people in the county. We recognized as a community that served one
,. another quite naturally for 100 years in an agricultural setting of Dane
County, Wisconsin, that this was still our district, our community. We
�— didn't go through a long process of intergovernmental relations with town
,; governments, we just drew a map and said "Where are you from?" and they
said: "Lown of; "And who are you, or you're from town of... Well, that's
r, certainly is a part of our service area;" It had been for 100 years, and no
reason why, when it came to organizing social services or housing, that
�� same natural geographical area should not be our geographical area.
"' The center moved from the basement of the museum because it was crowded
I-; and unsafe, into a facility that the business community, most particularly
i the Wisconsin Cheesemen, provided. We provided it not to make a senior
; �y center happen, or to provide services, or to giue them a more dignified
� setting, we gave it because we had resources, we had a responsibility to
��� the community and the people who had built our corporation. The need was
� not proven in a fancy center, but in the humble basement of a museum. 7he
;��i need was there. Anytime you start a program it doesn't take very long to
''' recognize that even though the week before you started had you done a
survey, the answer would have been: "No, we don't need a senior center";
''�' "No, we don't need congregate housing", but the week after, and certainly
'' i,� the year after, start interviewing the people who are a part of that
E process, then you'll understand that not only was it needed but it met a
. i.� very desperate need in the lives of a lot of people. And by the way, if
f �� you want comparable data, you can do a survey on four year olds and ask if
they need school.
� ,,
We recognized when we started to develop a senior center that it wasn't
"• simply for those who came in, and it wasn't just recreation, education,
and cultural activities, but it was also a center for reaching out to
" people who needed the services, outreach services, programs and services
i� extended to the people.
�� In each of the townships we recruited somebody to be an outreach worker,
� to go visit the homebound, to bring them to the center. But it didn't take
very long, because we were anchored into principle #1, the most important
,, decision one makes in one's life has to do with where he/she lives. We
recognize that while we are meeting social needs, while we were providing
-- educational opportunities, while we were truly enriching the lives of one
another with a great idea and a great organization, humble and small
' though it was, that we still had not addressed the most serious problem
_ that constantly confronted our center as people came in, and that is:
"Where am I going to live?" "Where am I going to go when I come out of the
� hospitall" "What are we going to do about Mark, who is becoming

conf.used?" Out of the acknowledged need, and again I'm talking about no
feasibility study done by social scientists with good research capability
and survey research, I'm not putting that down, I think there is a real
role for that, but it came out of the people who were there, and every
service the Colonial Club provides, every program that we provide, started
with people sitting around a table, not with somebody coming in and
saying: "Hey, there is this T.itle available and we could do something if
we got this money,.." "We could..." "Did you ever hear of UMTA?" We
decided we needed a van before we found out what UMTA stood for, and we
knew we needed elderly housing before we understood what HUD stood for.
Some of us may have learned about it in school, but that learning was
unreal. Anytime you have a group of people who are speaking about their
own needs and their neighbors, in the field of aging, that means older
people themselves. They are going to confirm with more adequate data than
any social scientist can produce, that the need is great and the
opportunity to meet that need is not complicated, but very simple.
We started with housing, and like many others, we looked at federal
programs available at that time, and we formed the Sun Prairie Housing
Authority. I was named the executive director and the chairman of the
corporation of the Cheesemen and was named the chairman of the housing
authority. We put together the most beautiful proposal that you could
imagine. The mayor of our town was a well known Republican who knew
Romney, who was in Washington at the time as Secretary of HUD, and I was a
lesser known Democrat who knew a couple a senators in Washington. We knew
everything. We had a documented need.
I can't remember whether it was /t38 on the priority list or #46, but you
can be sure that public housing did not come to Sun Prairie despite well
documented need. But we were smart enough, it seems to me now, in
retrospect, to not have put all of our eggs into that basket. The need is
there, it is our need, we've documented it. It's not going to stand or
fall on the basis of someone else's grantsmanship ar how we rank in a
state where there are a lot of communities like us with lots of unmet
needs when it comes to older people.
So we formed a non-profit corporation and applied for the program that was
being funded by HUD at that time, the Section 236 program. We hired the
architects, spent the money, brought some private resources together, put
together what we were certain was the world's best application for 236
housing. It was clocked into HUD just in time. It was in the review
process when the then Secretary of HUD announced at the Dallas meeting
that under the Nixon administration all housing programs were going to be
frozen so they could do a careful analysis of the effectiveness and so on.
You remember, of course, the impoundment years. Our 236 application
became just another major effort documenting needs. A couple of years had
passed by the way, and it was down the tubes.
We looked at one another and said: "Who needs HUD?" That's not even a
critical comment about HUD. "We can do it," and we did. A private
corporation, for us it happened to be the Cheesemen, began putting up
elderly housing. We provided money to a church foundation, at arm's
length, to provide a type of Section 8 renta] assistance, although we
didn't call it Section 8, a little

typically sized corporation in a fairly typical town doing what is not
typical, and that is being socially responsible.
— Well, we started developing and we developed 78 units of elderly housing,
quickly acquired 20 more on the site, and in the meantime had to expand
the senior center from 6400 square feet to 15,000 square feet to serve
— that population. All the time, the long range planning committee p�as
meeting. ...and from almost the first day when we were among the healthy,
younger people, the concern of the frail elderly, those who were becoming
_ less capable, was always on the agenda. We began to respond to that as a
senior center, not as a community, but the community was coming along with
us. They knew what we'were doing, they knew what our goals were and why.
They knew who the people were that we were serving, their people. The
business community was coming along, with strong support. We started a
day services pragram so that we had within the center the capability to
provide rehabilitative services to people that needed it. We provided the
services in a wellness setting, a beautiful setting as a matter of fact.
We purchased a group home, one became available down the block and all of
a sudden we said, "Isn't that what we're talking about, a place where
people can help one another?" It was not so much that our independent
;�-• housing was not already providing the vehicle for mutual help, but a very
, specific function for people who were more frail. Two of the four that
� moved in first, moved out of a nursing home inta our group home. Which, by
i�� the way, is still operating, and it's operating on almost nothing. No big
complicated issue, it works. Our group can do many more units or
— structures without any drain on any local resources and without any grants•
i' from the city; I should note that we did take the house off the property
— tax, but that is the extent of government help.
IAt the same time we recognize that we were only beginning to touch the
— need for filling the gap between independent housing in which older people
live without structured support systems, and the nursing homes that were
� filling up. As a result, our long range planning committee did make the
_ commitment to go into congregate housing. At that time, we didn't know
that word, that was a fanc� word that we picked up later, but we knew what
it was. It was to provide meals, to provide housekeeping services, to
provide personal assistance, and to provide these services to people who
" were generally well, able to take care of themselves, with a little bit of
., assistance in getting dressed, with cleaning the apartment, and not having
, to worry about adequately nutritious meals, could continue to live for a
— much longer period of time independently because they were within a
community of people who were caring for one another. It became a very
, natural theme for our group which says "Living independently with
,_ neighbors who care." It was like being back in the old neighborhood
concept of caring people. That doesn't happen naturally, what tends to
., happen "naturally" is that the spouse dies, the children move out; the
mother remains in the house, and the informal, natural networks of support
— that grew up along with us as we were developing our families and were
involved in our jobs, in the marketplace and in the community, were
falling off. Thus, we see it takes an intentional, planned response to
— make certain that a community, and I mean community, not a church or a
single facility, is able to provide some of those supportive services.
An idea which seems to be a wet blanket on every planning group when it
comes to talking about housing or especially housing with services, is "we
can't afford it." "Where will we get the trained personnel?" I want to

tell you, those folks you are trying to serve in 1981, fed threshing crews
out here, in Johnson County, for years. The person that did that while
raising the kids, can still do it. You've dressed your children, and
you've probably dressed your parents. You've balanced a checkbook or came
close, and it still needs to be done. You've cleaned house for years.
T.hese are the services we're talking about, not the services of a
geriatric nurse practitioner or clinical psychologist, we're talking
about people helping people. But it takes an organization, you've got to
organize it to make it happen. It doesn't just naturally happen.
F.ortunately for same, it does and that's beautiful, and you don't have to
worry about it. But for many others it does not. It takes your skills to
organize that together. When we put 99 people together under one roof,
we have built in by those who moved in, the support base we needed for one
another.
Yes, I suppose we did have to hire a cook, and we do pay a person who does
some of the housekeeping, but we don't pay a lot of others who do
housekeeping for the lady next door.. And we don't pay anybody to carry
trays. In every community the voluntary resource, if they are part of
something relatively organized, can really enable people to live. I know
it's a play on words, independent living, even though they need some help
in order to live independently.
Well, that's Sun Prairie, 94 units of congregate housing with the help of
HUD. It's our little secret though - If we had been rejected the second
time by HUD, as we were the first, we would have found a way to do it
ourself. We would have found a way because that is what we did before. I
know that in every community the only resources HUD has available to give
are our resources and the game of. having them relocated and reallocated in
Des Moines or in Washington is not a winning game for a relatively
prosperous community, or at least for those slightly above the mean income
for the nation, and Iowa City is there. Find a way, make it happen in this
town.
Well, we knew there was a need, now there was a plan. We organized and
developed a design, barrier free for sure, but buildings that added
dignity, not the least kind of a thing we could do for $150,000. We said
that beautiful space is important. A beautiful building in a beautiful
setting is as important for these ,eople as a beautiful museum or a
beautiful school or a beautiful che^cit �s for some other people in the
community.
You living and working in Iowa City have some things going for you. Let's
look at what they are. You have an unmet need that needs a response.
That's the most compelling reason for doing anything -- a clear need. Now
let me assure you that your community doesn't knaw that you have this
need, and the reason is that for every time you come up with a story of
somebody in need, you're talking about small percentages, the 10% or the
7�. The people you are speaking to have stories about their aunt or
mother who's doing just terrific. They want you to extrapolate from their
example rather than for them to extrapolate from your example, that for
the one hidden unmet need, there's another 10 others out there. I assure
you, the need is there. You have all kinds of training in this conference
room alone to document it.
In addition, you have older people who have lived the experience of what
it means to have some disabilities, some problems, and to know how

difficult it is to cope with some of those, or they have a sister or a
mother who's had that experience.
You have both the people who know the story and you have people in need.
You have the money. I'm not going to stay in town long enough to do a
careful analysis of the budget of Johnson County or the City of Iowa City
or what's in the bank and in the trust funds and the foundations and in the
corporations, but let me assure you, it's there. The only difference
between the money that we have in Sun Prairie and that which you have in
Iowa City is that we are using ours. We have the same type of resources,
money and people who volunteer. You don't have to get a great big social
service budget. You need some of that organized help and money, for sure,
but the potential, the power, people power and money pcwer, is in this
town to make that happen.
You have a program, already acknowledged by the title of your conference
workshop, that is a partial answer to a serious need. It won't solve
" everybody's problems. People will say "Will that really solve the
problem?" No, but for the 100 people that you house, or the 150, or the 25
i�" or 50 more that come in under that, you've provided a very significant
i
_ service.
I-; With the cooperative efforts and coalitions working together with city
i J government, the churches, the private sector and volunteers, there is no
limit to what you can accomplish.
�
;
I
But you've got some things going against you, and you should be aware of
them. One of the things working against you is that much of what you know
because of your interest and where you are is a great big amorphous "no
need" philosophy being preached out there, or a philosophy that, "If
they're really starving, we'71 catch them in the safety net," or "If
they're really in trouble, we have the welfare department." That is not
intelligence. That is not wise. That is not positive. That is about the
most negative concept to developing anything in the community, whether it
be a corporation or city government, or recreation program, you name it.
That's not the way. So don't use that for the old folks, if you're not
willing to use it for your own life; that you'll only give your kids a
nickel when they are really hungry, you wouldn't do that. You'l1 only buy
them a 12 X 12 or a 6 X 6 room because that's all they really need to live
in. Uon't set up a different standard for older people. That different
standard is set up precisely because we are all confused about older
people and we have bought a mystique about the declining years, that older
people are comfortable in their rocking chairs, and you know they can't
learn as well anymore, and they've lived their life and they've made their
contribution. Pull all the lines, and the sum is, "We therefore have no
responsibilities for them." Recognize for certain it is not a national
dilemma, it's not a national problem, it is a local problem - these people
live here. Their needs are local, they haven't been imported and they're
"here" not "there" because they have been wasteful or people who have been
irresponsible. They are your brothers and sisters and your community
people. Therefore the response has to be local as well.

community, and with city government. I believe that as you look for a
sponsor for congregate housing, it should be able to build on the
experience that's already underway with the Senior Center and Ecumenical
Housing. It should be comprised of the business sector, the social
services sector, in a sense the religious sector, community neighborhood
association, and the local government.
As a former-county board supervisor I can tell you how often the social
service people or the religious people or the business people came anc
said, "That's your responsibility," and in saying that, they have in fact
discharged their responsibility by presuming that by simply paying taxes
they are a partner; they're not. It should not be exclusively the City's
responsibility. The community has to work together, it seems to me, in
terms of the sponsorships.
As you contemplate sponsors, let me just tell you what HUD looks f.or.
They say is there a legitimate local sponsor?" "Has it got some
financial capability? Does it have a track record?" "Has it been out
there doing something?" It doesn't have to have been housing, just as
long as the people that are in this sponsoring group, are people who can
make things happen.
Because HUO, like so many other agencies, visit with people all the time
who have a tremendous idea and a great big heart; a very great concern,
but have never put anything together in their lives.
It's the worst investment for HUD and for private enterprise, so that
sponsoring group has to have that capability, social service capability,
some kind of a track record and a long term commitment.
Who or what or to what extent is there already a natural group in the �--
community that could be that sponsor? And what steps are needed now,
informally to recruit the kind of people that comprise that kind of a
sponsoring group to make something more happen in this community and of
course the formal structure to get a 501C3 rating with the tax people and
to establish your non-profit status? _
On management, I think you need to be asking yourself who can best design
and provide the social services that are required. Is it the Senior
Authorit is it the Department of Social Services? Is it the Housing
y. Whatever, I hope it s public and private people and groups
working together.
And what role wi11 older people themselves play in this process? If they
are not up front and in the key chairs, I don't care about majorities at
this point, but if they're not there dominantly, then you will have cut -
yourself of.f., presuming you are not the older people, from the very
resource, the very fuel that's necessary to make this thing go.
As you begin to look at financial planning - certainly you'71 have to look
everywhere. CDBG may be a source, HUD certainly is a source and the Iowa
Housing Finance Authority, by whatever name, these are sources with
mandates and missions to be helpful. I'll acknowledge up front that they
have very limited resources and the need in that state or this nation is
very great and you may not effectively compete. Nonetheless, there is
competence there, technical assistance and by their mandate they are
obliged to provide it. From my inquiries and understanding here in Iowa

"" you get good technical assistance from your area HUD office and I'm
delighted to know that.
— Well, what other support services need to be provided in congregate
housing? That's a whole other area. But let me just say that on the
minimum you need meals, housekeeping services, and personal assistance.
_ Sure you need to build in transportation, home delivered meals, and home
helpers. They have 47,000 home helpers in Norway, a nation the size of
the state of Wisconsin, to help people. There's all kinds of services;
the capability is here. It can happen even if the United Way does not
reach its goal, or in a state without sufficient Title XX monies, or a
_ federal government that is turning its back on the social services end of
its responsibility.
Design, again there are people at this conference who know the difference.
� You have all seen a building that feels good, that adds something to you,
f,.. and you've been in a storefront and the other places that take something
from you. Were we to have done the planning in our corporation as though
��� "what can we do to solve the problem this month?", we would have been out
� of business ten years ago. We built warehouses too big, we built a senior
� center too big, because we recognize that the reality is that a few years
i;_; from now it will be too small and the cost of doing something about it will
` y be infinitely larger.
�� � You have to have a plan for action. The competence to prepare an actian
i� plan is in this room, but you also must have the determination to move.
I_ The easiest way not to move is to say, "it's too complicated, I can't
I J understand it." "HUD regulations ..., oh all the forms." Do not leave it
to the technicians; the will to move this community is within the
community and its citizenship. The need for technical assistance is
�; there, you can hire that help. But yau can't hire the goal, the drive, the
�:_� motivation, the will to make something happen. That has got to come out
�^ of you. The confusion that happens in so many communities is that they
jump over themselves worrying about their lack of technical competence.
I� And they never express forcefully their will and their determination to
� make something happen.
., Set a date, make it happen, and if you're a little cautious, don't
•� announce it yet. But if I were here, I'd say, "June of 1982, 83 maybe, we
will break ground, or we will acquire the..... we will...." Who's we?
�'' Recruit them, and let them speak to the need and give a plan.
,�
jPrivate money and public money will go where they see a clear need that
� �� connects to their own acknowledged understanding of need. When somebody

i„ evidence that confirms that need. Come in with the dollars and cents kind
� of material. Help whoever we are who control resources to understand that
~ the need is very vivid. But that isn't enough either. That's where it
usually ends, tears in our eyes, distress in our hearts; come in with a
;;' workable plan. That plan must not only identify a problem but must say
i� what we're going to do about it. Be certain to scale it just slightly too
' large for your community to swallow up front. Too much, 140 units, not

Browning said that "man's reach must exceed his grasp or what's a heaven

WORKSHOP DISCUSSION GROUPS
Following the presentation by the guest speaker, participants convened
into four discussion groups dealing with Support Services, Sponsorship
and Management, Financial Planning, and Site Location and Design. Each
discussion group met for two sessions for a total of two and one-half
hours and was lead by a moderator selected for the task on the bases of
demonstrated skills and knowledge about the group's specific area of
concern and interest.
The areas of discussiun and the recommendations of the discussion groups
were as follows:
Suppor` t S�
The suppart services group focused on the needs and demands for
residential housing with services. In particular, the group focused on
the kind and extent of the services to be provided in relationship to the
needs and characteristics of the residents. The group summarized their
efforts by suggesting that the community undertake a survey of needs at
both the individual level and at the organizational level to better
determine the extent of the problem of housing with services for the
elderly and handicapped individuals. One such vehicle for data collectian
could be a self-administered assessment form that could be distributed by
way of the weekly Shopper, a local weekly newspaper that contains want
ads, garage sale notices and so forth, and is delivered free-of-charge to
each household in the greater Iowa City area.
Among the services the discussion group felt were missing were grocery
delivery services; with special counseling services, such as assistance
to the bereaved; along with adequate emergency care.
Grocery delivery was singled out since many of the recently built housing
for the elderly projects were built downtown, where few if any grocery
stores are available within walking distance, or if they are, they cater
to students and elderly clientele and as such tend to charge higher
prices than outlying supermarkets geared to family purchasing in larger
sizes and quantities.
Sponsorship and Manaqement
The sponsorship and management group discussed the criteria for sponsors
of congregate housing and basic management tasks such as tenant selection,
staffing and personnel policies. '
'� After considerable deliberation the discussion group recommended that an
. established group within the city be considered or approached to serve as
sponsor for the congregate housing program. Among the groups identified
' fortprofittorgenization�formed�to establ sheand ope ate gr up hom snfor
physically and mentally handicapped or disabled individuals; Oaknoll
— Retirement Residence, a private for-profit life care retirement complex;
Mercy Hospital, a 270-bed private hospital operated by the Sisters of
Mercy of Chicago, Illinois; and the Ecumenical Housing Corporation, a non-
_ profit group comprised of local churches for the purpose of sponsoring and
constructing an 81-unit housing for the eldery apartment complex
utilizing Section 202 financing and Section 8 rental assistance.

If the City chooses to approach one of the above organizations, or if they
should seek out an organization established expressly for the purpose of
sponsoring congregate housing, then the City should consider offering tax _
exempt bonding to provide additional incentive to the developer.
The discussion group encouraged solicitation of for-profit sponsorship,
individual or joint sponsorship by the City of Iowa City or Johnson --
County, and the solicitation of private contributions by endowments or
share sales.
A discussion of sponsor qualifications resulted in a recommendation that a
selected developer be committed to the philosophy of congregate housing
and be of recognized integrity and demonstrated skills in quality
management.
Tenants of congregate complexes should be selected so that there is a mix
of single males and females, couples, wealthy and indigent. —
Staffing for congregate services should include some professional staff
but should also involve volunteer assistance. It was noted that staff, _
both professional and volunteer, should offer to the tenants a variety of
ages.
Financial Planning
The discussion group on financial planning explored the market determina-
tion for congregate housing, the income groups that should be served and -•
the financing possibilities of capital and service costs. .
The participants recommended that a distinct sponsoring body should be ._
considered to better assure a commitment to congregate housing. The group
further suggested that the City Council should make a public commitment to —
congregate housing. _
Among the financing options recommended by the committee for _
consideration were, federal grants, CDBG, Small Cities, etc.; Industrial
Revenue Bonds; Tax Exempt Housing Bonds, (state law Chapter 403A); private
endowments; private investments; and state appropriations of housing
monies.
The committee suggested the City consider utilizing a school building,
since the school board already has one structure that has been offered for —
sale and others under consideration.
The committee commented on the $55,000 of CDBG monies identified in the �
fiscal budget for 1983 as funds that could be utilized for congregate
housing along the lines discussed during the workshop. •
Site Location and Design
The discussion group on site location and design discussed the location
for a congregate housing complex and the interior and exterior design —
features for the functioning of the occupants.
The committee recommended seeking existing single family dwellings to be _.
used as congregate group homes. It was felt that a home in the $60,000-
_ $70,000 bracket would be a logical starting point for a group type
congregate home. _

�,,,, 19 ^
In discussing the site features of the facility, it was suggested that
consideration should be given to locating a congregate housing facility in
an already established residential neighborhood; that there should be
� opportunities for outdoor activities such as gardening; and that
consideration should be given to invite the surrounding neighborhood
community into the activities of the congregate housing complex
hejecially providing such support services such as housekeeping and chore
P•
Another approach that was discussed was the pooling of financial resources
by private individuals such as may result by the selling of individual
homes and pooling proceeds. Proceeds then could be used to buy a home to
be used as a congregate residence. It was suggested that four or five
single persons might be interested in pooling their real estate sales
profits, and with the combined proceeds, a home could be obtained from the
existing real estate market and support services could be provided out of
surplus proceed income established in a maintenance trust.
It was suggested that congregate home designers not specify less than two
bedrooms per unit. It was the feeling of the discussion group
participants that the need for space is strongly felt by the elderly who
quite often leave spacious single family homes and move into rental units,
often for the first time in their life. The accumulated treasures of a
lifetime are often hard to part with, and an extra bedroom can help retain
some of those momentos and furniture to ease the transition from private
independent living units into congregate units. It was also strongly
recommended that a kitchen or kitchenette be provided in each dwelling
unit. Congregate meals are important, but there is a need to have food
storage and preparation facilities for breakfast, snacks, entertaining
and other times when it is desired or necessary to support congregate meal
services.
� It was remarked that program tenant selection and operations should
�!� concentrate on the "well" population of elderly and handicapped and not
,,,, those already candidates for a nursing home.

Because of large audience,
Amend Zoninq Ordinance Doothroy suggested an addition to the consent
ca en�ar of�setting a public hearing for December 8th to remove the bldg.
moratorium on the Northside, as stated in 8.10.4D. Council agreed.
Waters First Addn./Oakes Meadow Addn. Knight gave the previous history
regarding this area. There are two remaining issues, the alignment of
Dover St. regarding the curves, and preference by staff for pover St. to
hook up with Carver. P&Z approved both preliminary plats subject to an
agreement between the City and Oakes, stating that the entire length of
Dover be constructed prior to any residential development, and assurance
that the secondary access is taken care of. Atty. Neely representing
Oakes stated that Oakes will pick up the tab for paving the extension of
Dover St. Oakes and Waters have easements, subject to the Moose Lodge
approval of dedication of r-o-w,. The developer would lose Lot 27 by
changing the curves. Kanmerer noted that the street was an access to a
subdivision unly, not a secondary collector. The duplex lots will have
two driveways from each lot. The preliminary plats will be added to
the Nov. 24th agenda. The final plats will be on agenda only when
clear title has been received to the right-of-way for the secondary access.

pay for one-half the cost of the se�aer. Berlin discussed previous arrange-
ments regarding the sewer. Perret noted concerns regarding enlargin9 the
Industrial Revenue Dond area for housing purposes when the original policy
was for commercial purposes downtown. He was also concerned with the
inconsistency with the Ralston Creek plan. Council �aill approve amendment

�aho is still conducting tests, and has not been able to make a deposition
for the Sheller-Globe attorney. Their attorney can not come here during
December, Council has set several budget hearings in January, so the

members.

ROLL CALL �71����✓ ��y�+-R� ��
CONSIDER RESOLUTION FIXING A DATE FOR HEARING ON PROPOSED
INCREASE IN AMOUNT OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPI4ENT REVENUE UOND
(HENRY LOUIS, INC., PROJECT).
Comnent: The Council approved a resolution on November 10, 1981, to
set a public hearing to consider increasin9 the amount of
Industrial Revenue Donds for the Henry Louis, Inc., Project
from $80,000 to $90,000. Henry Louis, Inc., had actually
requested an increase in the amount to $95,000 and the
resolution previously approved had an incorrect amount. This
resolution sets a public hearing on December 8, 1981, to consider
increasing the amount from $80,000 to 595,000.
Action:
Itein No. 3- CONSIDER A RESOLUTION REGARDING THE ISSUANCE UF NOT TO EXCEED
32,000,000 IN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOP-
MENT REVENUE 60ND5 (RALSTON CREEK APARTMENTS, LTD, PROJECT) OF
THE CITY OF IOIJA CITY, IOWA, DIRECTING PUDLICATION OF NOTICE OF
INTENTION TO ISSUE, CALLING A PUDLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSAL TO
ISSUE SAID 44NDS AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION Of A ME140RANDUI4 OF
�%S AGREEMENT.
%yhc�a a•r�'�+rd. 3:IS�'.AA�
Cormnent: The resolution will be the usual resolution authorizing execution
of a memorandum of agreement and setting a public hearing on
December 8, 1981. The dond Attorney was not able to mail the
resolution until Friday, November 13, 1981. Copies will be
distributed to Council at the meeting on (•tonday, November 16.
Deferral of consideration of this resolution until the November
24 Council meeting would necessitate scheduling the public
hearing on December 22, 1981. This would delay the issuance of
bonds and could jeopardize the possibility of issuing bonds at
due to pe ding Fede al legislation.

MEMORANdUM
Date: November 5, 1981
To: City Council
From: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance i�-"
Re: Industrial Revenue Bonds (Henry Louis, Inc. Project)
On May 19, 1981, Counci•1 approved a resolution to proceed with the
issuance and sale of Industrial Revenue Bonds for the Henry Louis,
Inc. Project in an amount not to exceed $80,000. The bond proceeds
will be used to finance the leasehold improvements and equipment
purchases for a camera store in the Oid Capitol Center.
The projects costs have exceeded the original estimate and Henry
Louis, Inc. is requesting that the City Council authorize an increase
in the amount of bonds to "not to exceed $90,000." A review oF the
financial analysis done by City staff indicates that the increased
amaunt of debt should cause no financial problems. Iowa State Bank
and 7rust will be purchasing the bonds and has no objections to
increasing the amount.

set a public hearing to consider increasing the amount of
Industrial Revenue Bonds for the Henry Louis, Inc., Project
from 580,000 to 590,000. Henry Louis, Inc., had actually

FROM: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance ��=�'
RE: Ralston Creek Apartments, Ltd. Application for
Industrial Revenue Bonds
James A. Clark has filed an application with the City for
issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds to Ralston Creek Apartments,
Ltd. in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000.
Staff review of the application has verified that the project
complies with legal and City requirements such as meeting IRS
guidelines for tax-exempt status, environmental factors and
corrmunity service factors. The financial review of the project
reveals no problem areas. An appeal has been filed with the
Board of Adjustment for a Special Use Permit to allow parking
in the Floodway Overlay Zone. Mr. Clark has agreed to pay 50%
of the cost of moving the sewer line.
Conventional financing was applied for but it was found that
the interest rate charged would have made the project finaicially
unfeasible. The reason stated on the application for applying
for Industrial Revenue Bonds was that the�lower interest rate
charged:on industrial revenue bonds would make the project
financially feasible. Current market rates in conventional
financing are too high to make the project possible and no one
wants to finance the project with conventional financing.
Staff recomnends that the City Council consider the issuance
of the bonds.

Re: Parking Lot, Recreation Center
The City still has not closed on the parking lot at the Recreation
Center. There are several 7egal problems which the Legal Department
hopes to have resolved at an early date.
A plan has been reviewed for redesign of that parking lot. Meters
will be installed in the parking lot and it will be used for combined
parking permit and metered parking in a manner similar to the
Chauncey Swan lot. Concrete islands will be constructed at the end
of each row of parking so that trees can be planted in the parking
lot. In addition, new lighting fixtures wi11 be installed. The
lighting poles will be those salvaged from other City jobs. A11 of
the work wilt be accomplished by City departments in order to
minimize the cost of the improvement.

Re: Benton-Riverside Reconstruction Project
Recently Chuck Schmadeke and I met with Bob Henely, the District Engineer
for IDOT. Mr. Henely has indicated that because of time required for
planning of the Benton-Riverside reconstruction project, particularly
land acquisition, it probably will not be possible to construct this
project in the next construction season. Therefore, the project will be
delayed until late in FY83 or early FY84. The benefit of this change is
that the project will not interfere with completion of the Highway 1
reconstruction and it will provide the City with additional time to obtain
a grant for the University Heights trunk sewer. •
7he Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting in Iowa City
on November 24 at 7;30 PM in Room A of the Recreation Center to discuss the
project with adjacent property owners.

Re: Taxicabs in the Central Business District
Joe Fowler has notified managers of all taxicab companies operating in
Iowa City that they may begin using the commercial vehicle loading zones
to wait for fares, this policy being effective on Thursda , November 12,
1981. This policy is being enacted in lieu of designating Cab Stands and
for the purpose of better utilizing reserved parking areas downtown. Cab
drivers wi11 be instructed that they must remain with their vehicle while
waiting for fares, and that they must moVe if the loading zone is needed
by another commercial vehicle. The only exception to this would arise in
the event that a driver leaves his/her vehicle in order to assist a
passenger to or from the cab.
This policy is being enacted for a three month trial period after which it
will be re-evaluated. Please report to Joe Fowler any probtems which your
officers may encounter regarding the above outlined arrangement.
Your caoperation in ensuring that all officers are apprised of this policy
prior to its effective date is greatly appreciated. •

Re: Capitol Street Parking Ramp
Approximately one year ago, the Clinton Street entrance of the Capitol
Street Ramp was closed to alleviate the traffic flaw problems in the ramp.
The closure was a successful solution to the constant traffic congestion
in that area of the ramp, however, it has created other problems. 7he
first problem is that some of the merchants have stated that ramp users do
not see the closed sign, pull into the entrance and then have to maneuver
backing out. Secondly, motorcycles are exiting through the entrance and
avoiding paying far parking. .
Since we want the flexibility of being able to use that entrance in the
future if the need should arise, we have placed a more stable temporary
closure there which should sblve the current problems. The Streets
Division has put in an asphalt curb along the street edge and the
sidewalk. The area wi11 then be filled with dirt and planted in ground '
cover in the spring. If the entrance was to be reopened in the future, an
endloader could remove the curbing and fi11 with little problem. Total
cost of the project for the curbing•, dirt and spring planting will be
approximately $200.

Re: Star Port Bar - New Trade Name
The Application for a new beer permit submitted by Star Port Bar and
considered by you last Tuesday, November 10, 1981, has been withdrawn by
the business' attorney, Mr. Rick Zimmerman. This new Application was
based on a change in the corporate structure of the business; but due to
possible tax consequences, Mr. Zimmerman has recommended his clients
retain the original carporate structure. Thus, the Application has been
withdrawn. . •
Under Chapter 123, Code and Rule 150-5.7(2) of the Iowa Administrative
Code (September 3, 1980), a new beer permit is not required when the trade
name of the business has been changed unless there is also a change of
ownership. Since it has naw been determined that there is no change in
ownership or financial interest, the name change of the bar has simply
been added to the permit by the State Beer and Liquor Control Commission,
and forwarded to the City Clerk.
This Permit has been released to Mr. Zimmerman and requires no further
Council action at this time.

TRANSIT ISSUES IN THE IOWA CITY URBAN AREA
I• Transit Fundinq for New Urbanized Areas
As a result of the 1980 Census, Iowa City and surrounding
communities were designated an Urbanized Area (UA). It is our
understanding that the U.S. Senate DOT Appropriations Bill
calls for using the 1980 Census therefore providing Section 5
funds to new UA's. The House version of the �OT Bi11 excludes
Section 5 funds to new UA's by calling for the use of the 1970
Census. This year Iowa City Transit and Coralvillle Transit
received Federal Section 18 operating funds for the first time.
The Federal Highway Administration has stated that no
additional Section 18 funds wi11 be provided to new Urbanized
Areas.
A. What is UMTA's position on Section 5 funding to new UA's7

8. Will UMTA insure that new UA's are not left ineligible from
either Sectian 18 or 5?
C. If new UA's are eligible for Section 5 funds:
1.� Will there be simplified application procedures?
2. Will new UA's be under the 13C labor protection
provisions?
3. Will the allocation procedure continue to be based on
populatian and population density or might it be
based on performance indicators?
D. If general operating assistance is phased out, is it
possible that UMTA will fund individual transit components
such as maintenance costs?

B. What does UMTA consider to be an appropriate level of
special efforts?
III. Maintenance and Storaae Facility Needs
Currentty each system, Iowa City Transit, Coralville Transit,
and University of Iowa CAMBUS, operate out of their own
maintenance and storage facility. When the systems receive
their new coaches this spring each will be required to store
coaches outside. Iowa City Transit has the most inadequate
facility and is currently beginning to plan a new maintenance
and storage facility.
A. Is it correct that UMTA's philosophy is to emphasize
proper vehicle maintenance programs?
B. As a new Urbanized Area, what kind of funding can Iowa City
expect for a.new facility?
C. The UMTA Region 7 Office and the Iowa D'epartment of
Transportation appear to be using Iowa City's need for a
new facility as a lever to encourage
coordination/consolidation of the three transit systems.

It seems that UMTA is placing a great deal of emphasis on a
uniform system of accounts and records. The Iowa DOT currently

IN TROU�3LE
How well will the�Reagan
economic revolution �vork?
Most attempts to answer
that question so far have
focused on the overall U.S.
economy and on the finan-
cial markets. But the true
test of Reaganomics will come at the state
and local level. The President is shifting more
of the burden of government away from
Washington at a time when the local infra-
structure is decaying, when the ability of
SPECIAL REPORT
states•and cities to borrow
is withering, and �vhen state
and local revenues are
shrinldng. The problems are
�so severe as to constitute a
crisis for state and local
government. In the pages
that follow, the t[]ItOTS Of BUSlNESS WEEK
document the extent of the crisis and examine
its implications for economic growth and for
the growing rivalry between regions, as �ti�ell
as its probable political and social impact.

Obviously youth and
qrowth du not guarancee
sound and adequate infra-

and stagnation necessarily
candemn the physical plant W
decay. 5laintenance, management, and
revenucs explain why Cincinnati's infra-
structure is stronger than Cle�•eland's
and why the bridges run by thc Purt
Authority af New York & New Jerscy
are better kept than those controlled by
New York City. And sophisticated main-
tenance manaRemen[ is why Dallas' in-
frastructure, while not perfect, is in het-
ter shapc than mast.
The lack o( maintenance has in0icted
severe damaRe on the roads, brid�es, and
mass transit systems that form the life-
line of the n�tion's business. Dad roacis
and bridges keep some 25!i, of America's
communities out of the growth business,
says Choatc. Even the relatively new
interstate highway system is spotted by
dilapidation. The (ederal government,
which did not provide funds tor "the
three Rs"—resudacing, resWretion, and
rehabilitation—until 1976, blames the
states for failing W keep the hiqhways in
good repair. The states complain of the
Iederal qovernment once again saddlinR
t5em with the responsibility of main•
taining whatever Washington builds.
The Reagan approach is W take most ot
its overall cuts in (unds for secondary
and urban roads and to use them for the
intentate program, which will require
E53.8 billion throuqh 1990 to complete
and repair. This would leave the states
and localities to bear the entire cost of
local roads. The federal government now
pays 75% of that

In Slassachusetts, federel
operating subsidies will de-
cline �13 million in fiscal I9S2
and $24 million more over the
next two years. "The [irst
third that goes we can cope

3fassachusetts' Transpor[a-

caused by Conreil's consolida-
don, which will leaee the com-
munities in the southeast of
the state without servir.e.
"The state is going to ha�•e tn
come in and acquire the rail-
ways and then get some carri-
er to come in and run thosr.
lines," explains Carlin.
Since tas[-grow�inR cities in the Sun-
Aelt have avoided reliancc on federal
help for their still small transit systems,
the cuts will not hurt them as much. The
Ne[ro bus system in Houston dces noc
use feder�l money tor operatinQ es-
penses, so it will not be aRected immedi-
ately by any budKet cuLs. 51ost of the
trdcral money tor two bus maintenance
facilities hu already been commi[ted.
And work on contraflow lanes and raised
tracks for buses will continue with local
money. Nevertheless, Hous[on's plans to
decelop a rail line to link southx•est
Houston with downtown will be slo�ved,
even though the city will continue W
fund en�ineerinq studies with some 310
million in local tazes.
The vital connectlona
Similarly, Dallas, which has been slow
in reacting to the need [or a sophisti-
cated s}•stem, is now faced with bearinq
the (ull 6urden ot financinq its future
mass transit necds unless the state
helps. Althouqh the voters just lazt year
rejected the establishment of a re�ional
transportation authority, mass lransit,
like sewers, is vital (or growth. If growth
continues at its present rate, without the
development of a mass transit system,
citics like Dallas and Houston could
eventually be paralyzed.
Inadequate and dilapidated sewer
linee and wnstewnter treatment plants
are also stallinq economic activity both
in stagnnting citics that have to brinq
their systems up to conqressionally man-
dated standards and in growing arens

The erowning blow
The Rra�an Administration has dcalt
a secere, if unintended, blou• m the
municipal bond with its new tax policics.
intereet from �municipal bonds is, of
course, free of [ederal income tax, But
with personal income taxes scheduled
tor a 29'k reduction by 19A4, indi�•idual
inrestors hav� that much less rensnn to
seek tax•exempt income. The reductian
fram i0`b ta 50'7n in the Wp rate for
unearned income, moreover, means that
interest from competin� investments,
such as hi�;h-yielding money markel mu-
tual funds, u�ill also be taxed less for
manp investors, ind there is more incen•
ti��e to seek capital Rains in common
stocks or real estatc.
For mnny municipal issuers and deal•
ere, the crowninQ 61ow came with the
authorization of the new, tax-free All
Savers certificate. Because the one•year
depvsits will compele direcUy with mu-
nicipal deht nf cqual or similar maturity,
dcalers and iasuers alike fear thnt inter•
est msts «•ill t�e driven up si{mificandy.

director ot Detroit: "All Sa�•crs drives
annther �nail in the coffin of the tax-
ezempt market for municipalities."
The Rea�nminstilled disincenlivec to
municipal im�estment come at a time
when the market is dependin� more and
more on individuals to soak up municipal
paper. Indieiduals, who haye historically
twu�ht atxwt 2i7 of all new municipal
isvurs, hare increased thrir share of thc
bu}•in� to beNveen i0'� and 75 :. in 19R1,
attractrd hy hiQh yields.
Part nf the problem is that instiw-
tions such as commercinl banks and
proprrty and casually insurers have all

States and cities
face paying
skyrocketing rates
for tax-exempt
municipal bonds
just when cu�s
in federal aid
start to take hold
profiLs ar hecause they ha��e little lefl to
shelter. Thus, if the ReaRan tax pro-
�rams� make municipal bonds less et-
tractive to individuals, municipalities
will have to raise interest rates as an
incentive. That means the historic rela-
iion betu•ren municipal and corporate
rdtes may be skewed for good.
"1Ve have legislated aa•ay, without
knowing it, tfie subsid� for municipal
financing," says Felix G. Rohatvn,
chairman of �ew York's Nunicipal As-
sistance Corp., �ehich has helped pull the
nation's largest city trom the brink of
insol�•enc�•. "Ne are raising monep at
essentially taxable rates, and that's a
very• fundamental change. E�•en if the
rntes come down in general, municipal
rates will stay at a par with taxablc
ones."
Rohaq•n adds that "we could never
have brought Ne�v 1'ork City back to fis-
cal health under the financing conditinns
prevailing tndn�"—words with a fore-
tading rinQ for cities that are stru�clin�
lo �;et back on their feel. "New 1'nrk had

R'ilh the pressures buildin�, st:ucs

capital espenditures.
But these may be nothin� murc than
desperation moves. "Local issuers can
never rely on shorbterm obliKations fnr
capital projects—and that's the bulk of
their borroa•ing neecl," sa�•s Salomnds
Kaufman. These projects require ad-
vance cost knou•led�e, for the lon�; haul,
��•hich short-term notes do not proeidx.
Options granted on bond issues can
backfire, dependinq on interest rate
movements. Equipment leasin� remains
subject m �as scrutiny and ma}• hare
limited applications outside urban tran•
sit. "The reason I fear (or municipal
issuers is that theq really dodt have a
u•ide ranQe ot financinR choices availahle
to them;' says Kautman.
\fost serious of all, credit market ana-
Ivsts noa• believe that the chances for a
default b}• a major municipal issuer—
the wppss, for instance—are as hiKh as
they have been since \ex• York Cit}'s
euphemistic "maralorium" on interest
payments in 19i5. The fact that inces-
tors hnve ala•ays looked u�n the munic-
ipal lwnd as one of the snfest invest-
ments w•ould only sen•e to increase �he
shock value af a failure. If such a delnult
came a�ithout warnin�, it could friehten
lenders to the point of holdin� back cred-
it in �eneral—to.wrporations and indi-
viduals as well—u•ith an unfathnmably
adeerse impact on the ecnnomp.

transfcr of mnney to the Sunlx�lt."
ReKardless nf who is ri�ht,.xomc
slates arc much t�etter equip�xd than
others to oRset federal spendinF cuts
w•ith ;tnte funds. The massi��e runup in
ener�,ry• prims since the mid•1970s has
�reaUy incrnased the disparity in the fis-
cal capacity o( states. F.ner�,y pralucers
dominate the list of states with the larg•
est and fastest-RrowinQ per capila tax
bases (map, paQe 168), acmrdinK to a
compmhensive mcaaure of income devel-
oped by the stnB o( lhe Advisoq• Cnm=
mission on Inler�overnmental Rcla-
tions.
Taxes and deeontrol
Last year, seven states recci�•ed mnre
lhan'LO';. nf thcir revenues from sever•
ance taxes Icvicd on �the production of
minerals, mainly oil, Kes� and cual. A
decade ae��, onl}• one state—Louisiana—
relied so heavily an ener�,y taxes. Sever-
ance taxes, a•hich range as hiKh as Atnn-
tana < 30'.3� Icvy on coal, have become a
major Mme nf contention in interstate
relalinnships. Thr hlidwesl Governors
Confrrrnrr rstimates that rrvidenLc of
iLs I:I mrmlH�r sL•ites paid �ilHl millian in
sevrrance tazes ta other stales in 197D
and will pay mnre than E2.5 billion in
19A5.
Acrelera�ed decontrol of nawral Kas
prices, «•hich the Adminixtralion will
soon rernmmend, will exaccrbate the sit-
uation. The Northeast-Midu•est Insti-
wte, the research arm ot the congres-
sional coalition, estimates that, wi[h de-
control, scrcrance tax reccipts will total
E280 billion throuKh this decade. "Noth-
inq scares us more right now than natu-
ral Ras decontrol;' says Rhode Island
Governor J. Joseph Carrahy. The 13
Midwestern �overnors, Il ot wham are
Republicans, recently voted unanimously
to oppose immediate decontrol of natural
Ras.
The eneryy-consuming sNtes also (eel
lhat severance taxes put them at a dis-
adranta�e in attracting and keepin�
6usiness and jobs. While they are beinK
forced to raise tazes W makc ends meet
and are runninq the risk of driving
employers awap, the enerqy prculucers
are a61e to rely on revenue saurces [hat
dn nut increaxe the cost ot doin� business
in their states. "I['s going to Mcome
apparent that Texas, Louisiana, and
Afontana, for example, are using their
enerRy reven�es competitively," saye
Representative Barber B. Conable (R•
N. Y.1, rankinR Republican on lhe liouse
Ways & Means Committee.
Thc ener�ypoor states, which find
lliemselves squcezed between Washing-
ton's bud�et ruts and w�hat the�• view as
170 BUSINE55 WEEN: Octo6er 26, 1981
rapacious tax policies by enerq�-produc-
ing states, are bent on retaliation. Al
their August meeting, the hlidu�estern
governors set up one task (orce to stud}•
a"soil-depletion tax;' in eliect a sever
ance tax on food prnductian, and annthcr
to consider hou• thc re�,�ods abundant
water resources could be used to squeeze
money out of the walerpwr 1Vest. "The
(ear is that we're qoing to ge[ into a aar
with the energy-rich states;' says Rhode
Island's Garrahy. "You'll have states
comin� up with all kinds o( schemes to
tax cach other, and it will be bl�rly
murder."
Cansuming states are attemptin� to
slop enerqyrich states from imposing
severance taxes. Earlier this yeaq the
Supreme Caurt denied a bid by Com-
monwcalth F.dison Co. in ChicaKo, joined
by several state and local governments,
to have hlontana's coal tax declared an
unconslitutional restraint on interstate

could restrict the statw. A number of
bills have been introduced in ConRress to
do just that, allhough the prospecls for
passage are 61eak. Another idea gaininq
force is a(ederal severance tax with the
praeeds earmarked for expanded reve-
nue sharing. "I don't see anything else
that will reduce the threat;' says Tom
Cochran, executive director of the
Northeust-1lidwest institute. But many
state nnd local politicians, IookinR at the
federal �;overnment's own fiscal plight,
are duhious alwut any new money com-
ing from Washington, despite Rca�nn's
pmmise to return revenues to the st�tes.
"As sure as we're talking, the only way
we'll see anythinR returned is with equal
or �rcater budget wts;' says ntaq•land
House of DeleQates Speaker Benjamin
Cardin, a Baltimore Democrat.

qrab their share of [he oil bount}•. Last
pear, New Jersey imposed a s{x�cial tax
on pe[roleum reFiners, while Uew• York
and Connecticut attempted to lery �;aso-
line excise taxes that could not be passed
through to retail buyers. All three tazes

The common problems of ener�,n••cnn-
suming sWtes are pushin� them inw
joint e(forts. Such long-standin�; rc�,�nn-
al blacs as the Midwest Covernors fnn-
ference are becominR more asserlive.
Re{,�onal conRressional groupx, curh as
the New EnQland Con�ressinnal Caucus,
are stepping up their activities. Finrida
Gm•ernor Robcrt Craham is pushinK for
a Snuthern "common market" ro roordi-
nate re�ional taxation and deerlopment
policies. The New EnRland Ener�,y Con-
ference is neKoliatinR for Cnnadian �as
and hydrcelectric power. The btidwesb
crn Ro�•ernors arc plannin4 a similar
a�;encp Iwth to negotiate for their rnrr�,ry•
nreds and to derelop Ihr rr�;inn's rnal
and grain resources as synthetir fuel
fcedstock. .
Harsh polltical realltles
But these regiunal arran�;ements ran
do no more than nibble at the ed¢ex nf
the pro6lem. Politicians frmm ener�•-
wnsuming states believe that solutionc
must beQin with the federal government.
And they see preciaus little sign that the
Reagan Administration is interested in
addressing the issue.
"Our major problem is in qettin¢ lhe
federal government to recoRnize that
there is a problem;' says Senatnr Dacid
Durenberger (R-17inn.), chairman of the
Senate subcommittee on inlerqoverm
mental relations. '"fhere arc people in
the White House who think thnt all the
problems of reqional disparity have Aren
solved because the South is qoinR to rise
again."
Faced with these harsh political reali-
ties, the energy mnsumers are rcduced
w fightinq a renrguard action a�ainst
measures that will make their problems
worse. The one Lhing they are drnd set
against is any turther transfer of (ederal
responsibilities to states without a corre-
sponding shitt of revenues, anA ihis
bodes ill for Reagan's latest budqet-cut-
tinq proposals. '9f we turn back more
responsibility tor welfare to the st,it�s,
we'll havc a world-beater of a problem,"
says Durenbergcr. "Evcry state just
dces not have thc fiscal capacity to pick
up the wst."

The shift to an older populatinn that

have an equall�• dramalic impart on thc

' nings are in a rapid state of decline.
The business community as a consum• •
� er of state and local government services
will also bc hurt by such cutbacks.
"State and local �overnmenls acrount
for alwut Ai'� of capiL�l construction,
often with �;overnment aid, and tha[ is
. �,minq tn shrink;' notes Manuel Carballo,
. a lecturer on public policy at Han•ard

. of repair. Thinqs that businessmen

ONaettlng the benelita
The huxiness cummunity, as well as
the youn� adults and the older popula-
' tion, have considerable political clout.
I Politicians around the muntry are al-
ready findinR �themselves in the uncom-
Cortahle position of havinF W cul popular
� services or raise taaes. Conservative Re-
publican Governor John Rhodes has
stirred up a political sWrm in Ohio's
' Repu6lican-cuntrolled state senate by
�. • pro{wsing lo raise L�zes to avaid a
, budQet defirit.
A�rcat number uf econnmists believe
that slates and cities will have no choice
but to raise taxes. hfany are pmhibited II
� by lau• from runninq deficits, and it is
incrcasin�ly dilficult for almost all state
and local Kovernments W borrow in the
� financial markets. �
As American Enterprise Institute's
Penner put it in his article: "It may seem
implausible m assume that Wtal tax 6ur-
dens will be increased rapidly in an era
that is sup{ased to be characterized by
new consen�a[ism and virulent tax re-
volls. In particular, it may be quite
unreasonable lo assume that the atate
and local sector will grow rapidly rela-
tive to net national product when so
many smtea are passing constitutional
limits on tax rates and spendinq. Yet the
recent hiswry of New York State and
New York City has taught ua that it is
not difficult m get around wnstitutional
limits, and at the federal level President
Carter telt it permissible W recommend
in his 19A1 budget one of the largest tax
incrcases in recent peacetime hieWry."
There is little chanre that Reagan will
back ofi the recent taz cuu, which aro
the centerpiece of his whole program.
But increases in state and local govern-
ment taxes will certainly o(fset some o[
the benefits of tederal tax euu. And i(
thc end result of the efforts o! state and
local governments to cut some spending
while mainNining or increasing others
is a net decline in outlaps, as many econ-
omisLv belie�•e, the com6ination will have
a siRnificanl impact on overall economic
qrowth.

Fbr the Demxrats, thc sprending tur-

is viea•ed as a potent new issue with
x•hich to shackle cop officeholders in

Caddell: '"fhe White House is makinq a
Int of state and Iorai races intn national

RT�PP�nR the cities and states presents a
potentiall�� a•orrisome problem. Says
cor mnaro. Robert Teeter: "People say
they �eant to reduce governmen[ spend-
ing, but we are about to find out what
happens when they are direcNy aftected
by a cut in service.a."
Adds Richard S. Williamson, assistant
to the President tor intergovernmental
relations: "\Ve renlize there are going to
be dislocations in the states. But the
smart politjcians who stresa fiscal man-
aRement are going W survive." 1Villiam-
son also admits, however, that the politi-
cnl futures of pry,.reots Republican of-
ficeholders nnd that of Presiden[ Reaqan
are now inextricably linked. "Never bc-
fore," he says, "has thc party's luture
been tied so closely on the success of one
man's proQram:'
in some states, danQer signs are al-
ready flashing for the Republicans. In

The cor's bi�est potential trouble

a•hern the fiscal squeeze is most se�•ere,
and where siz key Republican governnr-
shipv from 51innesota to Pmnsyh•ania
are up for Kra6s in 1951. "ICs alI starc-

Peter Hart. "Demorrats hare an e�cel-
Ient chanre for a pirkup hcre. .. if they

office, Stinnesota was in�a severe fiscal
bind because Quie's 1979 scheme index-

Although Nichiqan's Republican Gov-

E73,220 for security guard services for both parking ramps. The
- Parking Divi.sion discontinued the use of securit
months ago and assigned some security duties to theUnightSmaintenanCe
staff. The Parking Division has found that the presence of night
maintenance staff in the ramps is sufficient for security purposes,
but the additional responsibilities have reduced the hours they
have available for actual ramp maintenance. The increase in
Maintenance Worker 1 positions requested wi11 provide the necessary
hours for the proper level of ramp maintenance and the cast of
these positions at 524,752 is we17 below the amount originally
budgeted for security services. 7his change is in accordance
with the discussion of maintenance services for the ramps which
was included in the memorandum provided to the Chamber of Commerce

To: City Couricil
From: City Manager
Re: City Council Goal Setting Session, August 31, 1981
The following items are summarized from the Council's goal setting session for
FY82.
1. It was agreed that the City staff would look at contingency plans assuming
account bothtprroceeding with1the purchase of the land�for the new sk te�and
the consequences of delaying such land purchase. In addition we should
review what alternatives and problems might exist if funding at the
anticipated level is not available for the City. (Schmadeke, Kimm, Vitosh)
2. The City wi71 explore whether there are possibilities under the new income
tax law which would make it advantageous for the City to lease a new
transit building constructed by private enterprise. (Mose & Vitosh)
3. The City Manager indicated that the bus equipment reserve is revised
periodicall'y but that he would check to see if the figures are current.
(Vitosh)
4. There was some discussion of small buses and it was agreed that Glenn
C Roberts would travel with Hugh and the staff to the transportation meeting
in Chicago. (F1ose)
5. 'It was agreed that the City Manager would express to the University the
need for�coordination in housing and transportation issues. (Berlin)
6. It was agreed that the staff would look at alternatives if for some reason
Old Capitol Center is unable to proceed with the construction of the
Armstrong's department store and the hotel. (Schmeiser & Hauer)
7• The City should develop a revenue strategy for the future. (Vitosh &
Berlin)
8• Would it be possible to refinance general obligation bonds if they have to
be issued in a very high market. (Vitosh)
9. It was agreed that the staff would proceed to prepare various alterantives
for park acquisition which would not be based upon the issuance of GO bonds
or general CIP support. The policy would include priorities for
acquisition of land, tentative locations with the goal of maintaining
acreage per citizen, as currently provided. The policy would also include
alternatives for acquiring park land, dedication, special funding and
other viable alternatives. Another element of the study would be the
potential for dual use of school sites. It was agreed that there would be a
preliminary discussion with the Parks and Recreation Commission concerning
this study prior to its preparation. (Showalter)

Page 5 roll call vote unanimous, 7/0, all Councilmembers
present. The Mayor declared the resolution
adopted. ,
Recommendations from Boards and Commissions
noted as follows: Committee on Community Needs:
(1) That the City not acquire the following proper-
ties for the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood
Revitalization Project: 201 E. Benton Street, 912
5. Dubuque Street, and 914 5. Dubuque Street. This
recommendation was made in light of the current
austerity which led the Committee to consider
possible cutbacks in the program which would not
result in a loss of flood protection. (The
estimated cost savings to the project is $209,000.)
(2) That there are no problems which, can be
eliminated from the (1982 CDBG) budget at this time
in order to provide additional funds for the
Ralston Creek North Branch Dam. Recommendations of
the Housing Commission: (1) That CDBG funds for
FY82, specifically the $129,000 allocated for
Housing Rehabilitation and the $12,OOD for Code
Enforcement be left alone, as they are, for those
specific items, due to the fact that Housing
Rehabilitation deals specifically with improving
the quality of housing in our community, not only
for the elderly, but ultimately those houses will
remain livable, restored and not deteriorating.
(2) That the CIP funds for FY82, specifically the
$250,000 allocated and approved by Council for
Assisted Housing be utilized for the purposes as
outlined in the memo attached to the minutes of
October 21-22 meetings. (3) That the Housing
Commission would encourage the City Council to use
Industrial Revenue Bonds for residential uses.
Recommendation of the Resources Conservation
Commission that at any time bus fares are raised,
parking fees shall be raised by an equal or greater
percentage.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTION TAKEN:
The BTC received a letter from ATC's legal counsel, Stephani Storms, that
disagreed with the City legal staff's interpretation of the cable TV ordinance
regarding the Extension Policy. The City Council candidates forum will be
cablecast live on Channels, 20, 26 and 29 on October 27st by Shaffer, Hawkeye
Cablevision, interns and volunteers. The City will receive the 3% franchise fee
from Hawkeye Cablevision by the end of March, 1982. The fee is designated in the
cable ordinance to be used to offset regulatory and administrative costs the
City has incurred involving cable television regulation and for promotion and
usage of the access channels, by the end of March, 1982. It is projected to
amount to approximately $48,000. Hawkeye Cablevision plans to switch from UPI
news services to AP news service and substitute a better weather radar service
channel. Johnson reported on preparation plans for the Annual Program Input and
Review Public Hearing to take place next April, 1982. •

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Johnson commented on Shaffer's video production workshops, saying they are very
well taught and that all Commissioners should attend them. Eskin commented the
candidates forum, being aired live on Channels 20, 26 and 29 was another
excellent example of the use of the local cable TV channels.
HAWKEYE EXTENSION POLICY:
A letter from ATC's legal counsel was received by the Commissioners. Stephanie
Storms, legal counse7 for ATC, wrote a four page interpretation which takes
issue with the City's legal interpretation of the cable TV ordinance,
emphasizing the concept of "economic reasonablity" in determining what must be
wired in Iowa City. David Brown, Iowa City Assistant City Attorney, is
formulating a response to this letter, and will suggest a meeting to take place
between the concerned parties to try to resolve this extension policy issue.
Pepper suggested the steps to be taken at this point included the lawyers
determining if and how economics� should he taken into account in the
reasonableness principal included in the ordinance. If it is determined
economic factors should be taken into account then the lawyers will have to
attempt to reach a speci.fic proposal regarding what is a reasonable economic
plan for the extension policy. Legally Hawkeye Cablevision has until April 18,
7982, to pass 100% of the City dwelling units with serviceable cable.
Norton, a citizen who will be affected by this extension policy and who does not'
yet have cable service, said he would put up signs proclaiming the unfairness of
Hawkeye Cablevision and inquired if a class action suit on his part (and others
in his situation) would be a viable alternative.
Blough said that of the last 70 homes in Iowa City who do not yet have cable
service, 23 homes responded positively to a survey that they want cable service.
Hawkeye estimated that there would be an average cost of approximately 54,000 to
get the service to each dwelling unit left. ' •
Up to the current date, Hawkeye Cablevision has not charged extra far hooking
for those persons who live more than 200 feet from the existing cable network.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
None.
SPECIALIST'S REPORT:
Shaffer reported on the ICMA (International City Management Association)
conference in Los Angeles that he and Neal Berlin attended on
September 17, 1981, to speak on City uses and involvement with cable television.
Shaffer said that he and Berlin were able to assist many cities in developing
their ideas and concepts regarding how cities regulate cable, as well as
government and other applications of cable.
Shaffer said he and Kalergis were working together to bring the candidates forum
live to the Community over Channels 20, 26, and 29.

October 27, 7981, wi11 be a general membership meeting for access Iowa City in
the Public Library.
October 29, 1981, Computer Limited Systems, Inc. and American Television and
Communications Corporation will be meeting with the Library staff and Shaffer to
carry the computer/cable interface project one step further.
Shaffer seid there were four complaints over the last month all dealing with
having no cable service yet. Blough reported progress on these complaints,
saying Westgate Apartments were now wired and being activated; the Time Out
Restaurant is scheduled to be wired and Grantwood Drive has been completed.
The City will recieve the 3% franchise fee from Hawkeye Cablevision by the end
of March, 1982, and is projected to total about $48,000. According to cable
ordinance these funds will comprise the BTS, BTC and related government cable
access TV budget as well as the start of the payback plan to the City general
fund. It was decided Pepper acting as the BTC representative would work with
Shaffer on the budget composition. It was decided a special BTC meeting would
be held Monday, November 2, on the budget. Shaffer thanked Blough for
eliminating some of the noise on Channel 20 by isolating the cause of the noise
to a light dimmer switch.
HAWKEYE'S REPORT:
Blough reported a power outage on October 3rd caused by lighting. This has been
repaired. Also, parts of the system were effected by some sun spot activity.
These effects will disappear in matter of a week. Blough said the Satcom 1 is
now roaming off its orbital pattern almost 30 miles. If the roaming deviates
more than 30 miles there is a chance some or all of the satellite programming
will be lost (this would include such channels as HBO, Cinemax, WTBS, ESBN,
etc.). Satcom III is readied to replace Satcom I which would hopefully,
alleviate this problem. ,
Pepper inquired about the CBS cable arts channel. Blough responded saying a few
ATC systems do carry CBS cable, but only those that have the necessary satellite
dish. Iowa City is sti11 on the waiting list to get the CBS cable arts
programming.
Blough also said Hawkeye plans to switch the UPI news service to AP news
service.
Blough repored Hawkeye had a meeting with the Public Library, part of which
concerned the air canditioning system. Steps wi11 be taken to see (1) if the
system is currently performing at capacity and (2) what the capabilities of the
air conditioning system are. Blough siad they were now waiting for a report
back from the architects of the Library to find out more about the air
conditioning system. Kalergis added that damage had.been done to the switcher
in the studio control room due to overheating problems and currently that piece
of equipment is being sent back to Denver for repairs. The switcher equipment
will not be used until some solution to the air conditioning problem is reached.
The portable switcher is available and is being used by citizens (as a
substitute for the studio switcher). Terry asked if Shaffer had checked with
the legal staff to find out if any engineers or architects could be liable for
this air conditioning problem. Shaffer has not been involved in resolving the

air conditioning dispute since the BTC dispute resolution rules indicate that
cable related problems should be brought to the Cable Specialist if they cannot
be solved by Hawkeye and the other party. •The BTC urged BTS early involvement in
order to expedite the process.
Kalergis reported Hawkeye wilt be doing the MS marathon live November lst, and
live election returns November 3rd in conjunction with the government access
channel from the county courthouse.
Kalergis presented a letter to the Daily Iowan that she had composed requesting
they include local access channel listings in their TV guide section. Shaffer
will take comments on this matter from the BTC, modify the letter and it will be
sent to the Daily Iowan on behalf of the BTC.
Hindman said there was some possibility of selling the previously discussed (and
useless) cart machine to another ATC system, but that this could not occur until
January because of budgeting.
Shaffer and Kalergis said there were still lists of people who want to go
through the production, editing and studio workshops. It was mentioned it may
be possible to get a few persons in the community to teach workshops (Bill
Newbern, Uoug Allaire and Ron Milder were names suggested to alleviate some of
the backup), so• that Shaffer and Kalergis wauld only need to test out the
persons passed out from these classes.
Blough said there were still many problems with getting cable TV to the
University, partly because there is some indecision as to where the head end is
to be located and partly because of the costs involved in laying the cable
throughout the campus.
Kalergis said Friday is now ca71 in and request day for Channel 26, so anyone can
call in and request to see a program.
NEW BUSINESS:
Johnson said that he and Shaffer are compiling information in preparation for
the "Annual Program Input and Review" public hearing scheduled to take place in
April, 1982. The information wi17 include example of ways access channels are
being used around the country and the variety of programming possibilities not
now being received in Iawa City. This information wi17 be distributed to the
public in the form of newspaper articles, the local cable access channels and in
Hawkeye's billing statements prior to the Apri1 hearing.
COMMISSIONER DISCUSSIONS:
None.

of air conditioning in the Hawkeye studio located in the Public Library.
The BTC discussed possible uses of the franchise fee money coming from the cable
company to be used by the City with recommendations on its use from the BTC. The

the total worth of equipment owned by the City; 2) that part-time assistance for
the BTS be supported; 3) that the City general fund payback plan be figured at
the balance of the length of the franchise (for the next 13 years); 4) that the
administrative and legal reimbursement fund to the City be supported; 5) that

ATC, suggesting a meeting should take place to discuss the Extension Police. Ne
also said the studio switcher in the Library studio has been shut down by ATC
because of problems with the air conditioning system. Johnson moved, Terry
seconded that the BTC authorizes the BTS to work with the City staff to
ascertain a) the source of the air conditioning problem in Hawkeye's studio
control room; b) who is responsible for the problem; c) what is the fastest way
to resolve the problem and d) whether the City has a legal course of action
against a contractor or other private party for damages. Motion passed with
Madsen abstaining. Madsen encouraged each Commissioner to remain abreast of the
progress of this problem.
The next BTC meeting will be Navember 24, 1981, in the Civic Center Conference
Room.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
None.
CABLE TV RELATED BUDGET:
Pepper stated although it is unusual for a Commission to be involved in the
budget process, that it is necessary in this case because of the dictum in the
cable N ordinance (78-2917) that the BTC give recommendations to the Council as
to how the franchise fee should be allocated. Johnson stated he believed it is
very important the BTC be involved throughout the budget process.
Shaffer circulated a document indicating the revenues which can be expected from
the cable company over the next seven years. In this document there were also
listed possible areas of allocations of the franchise fee, including part time
staff, BTS budget, a payback plan to the City general funds (the total payback
owed the City is $48,641) and an ongoing reimbursement plan to the
administrative affices and legal department for cable TV related support
services. Shaffer aiso distributed the measurement portion of the BTS Program
Division Statement so each Commissioner knows what duties and responsibilities
the BTS performs on a day to day basis.
Eskin interjected she would like to see that part of the City franchise fee
designated to support the Educational Cable Consortium. Eskin believes the City
or the BTC should become an associate member of the Educational Cable
Consortium. The cost would be $50 to $100 per year. Pepper said the BTC could
move this direction, but that we should also remember the access channels were
set up with governing bodies, including the educational consortium, to function
as independently and self-sufficiently as possible, with the BTC acting as a
catalyst.
Johnson inquired about the flexibility of the length of time the BTS has to pay
back the City general fund. Johnson expressed a concern that there be enough
funds allocated to the BTS office and salary, for access equipment and
maintenance and replacement costs for that equipment, because these are the
things necessary to make the locai access channels operate successfully. The
amount of time the City will allow for the payback plan has a direct affect on
how much can be allocated in these ways, He added if the City would consider the
amount of money owed to the general fund and investment in access support, this
would allow a longer payback plan, which would make funds available for exactly
such areas of need as he described.

Pepper said the City is now facing a shortage of funds due to federal cut backs
and it wilt need a payback plan for the money now owed the City by the BTS
office. When the 675 office was first started, it was believed necessary to
begin that function as early as possible to aid the cable systems construction
and development from a City and community perspective. The City knew that at
some point revenue would return to the City from the company by way of the
franchise fee, which could be used to reimburse the general fund for its initial
expenditures. Pepper suggested a payback plan of the length of the franchise
fee should be suggested because it would reimburse the general fund for costs
incurred and allow for as much money as possible to'be used to develop and
maintain the local cable TV access channels. It was agreed by the BTC that their
recommendation would be a payback plan and would be would spread over the length
of the franchise (to 1994).
Pepper said the BTC and City has the responsibility through the ordinance to
encourage access usage. One way to do this would be to set up a fund to support
groups that are producers of programs for the access channels. The funds could
be used to help these groups purchase equipment. It could also be used for such
groups overhead costs, possibly on a matching basis. He said the Library has
aided access development in a number of ways, and such a fund could be used to
reimburse the Library for such things as repair and replacement for equipment
used for access purposes. Such a fund he sees as seed money.
Johnson said he had a problem with using the money to support organizations'
overhead costs like heating. He would rather see the money go towards a video
production and access equipment that could be used by everybody.
Pepper said it would be useful though if through this fund organizatio�s could
be' aided to own their awn equipment and have assistance in repairing and
replacing that equipment. Johnson said their may be difficulties in determining
which groups should get such assistance. Criteria would have to be established
how such money would be allocated.
Other considerations in supplying groups with assistance in purchasing
equipment is that at some point the Library will have trouble in handling
everyones production needs and checkout needs.
It was brought up that the Library will probably want part of these funds as
reimbursement for the BTS office and the use of utilities, storage space, for
supporting the check out of access equipmen.t (which the Library's AV desk now
does) and the repair and replacement of the NTIA (National Telecommunications
Information Administration) grant equipment. Pepper suggested he thought some
of these reimbursement costs are legitimate, but that any reimbursement should
go toward the support of access related costs in the Library.
Given there are now five operating portapaks (between the company, city and
library) and two editing systems, and the system is operating at maximum
capacity (all the equipment is heavily used) some conclusions can be drawn. One
is that two or three portapaks availability means enough is produced to keep ane
editing system busy. In order to expand the access capacity, we should keep in
mind as more portapaks are made available, more editing time or systems are
necessary and so is mare staff assistance necessary to check out the portapaks
and supervise the editing systems as well as more maintenance costs for this
equipment. Such costs would have to come from the Community Access Support
Funds mentioned.

A discussion of how to raise the BTS salary, to insure it is competitive,
ensued.
Johnson.said he also thinks its important to put this system into perspective.
We are trying to operate what amounts to four television stations in Iowa City.
It is not unusual to find one television station operating on a budget of $2
million per year. Since we're talking about far less than a total budget of
$100,000 per year, as much as possible should go to the support of these
channels. At the same time it is important that someone present the perspective
strongly'to the community and the Council and let them know what these channels
are, what they can do, what they can mean and what the returns of such
investments can be.
Pepper said we have to keep in mind while thinking about the budget that we have
one full-time person working with access who is stretched very thin, we have
one part-time assistant; we have some equipment support from the company and the
library; we have a number of community organizations invalved in access work.
Given those conditions what can we reasonably expect these resources to do this
year and in the years ahead.
After further discussion of the budget the BTC made the following recown�endations:
1. That the City Repair and Replacement Equipment Fund be figured at 10% of
the total worth of the equipment owned by the City. ,
2. 'That part-time assistants for the BTS be supported.
3. That the City general fund payback plan be figured at the balance of the
length of the franchise (for the next 13 years).
4. That the administration and legal reimbursement fund to the City be
supported.
5. ' That there be an Access Support Fund established from the franchise fee and
that it would amount to not less than•20% of the total fee.
6. That the issue of competitive compensation for the BTS be scrutinized.

SUI+IMARY OF DISGUSSION AND AC7ION TAKEN:
Goldene Haendel called the meeting to order. Kathleen Graf objected to the
listing of alternates as absentees on the minutes because they are only supposed
to attend when a regular cannot be in the meeting. Goldene Haendel made a
motion to amend the minutes and to list the alternates when they attend as
being present, but not ahsent when they are not required to be at the
meeting. This motion was seconded and passed.
APPEAL OF MR. WILLIAM P. ROYSTON
Others present: None
Mr. Royston is appealing the need to install a kitchen fan in apartment four,
and installing a handrail on the stairway. David Malone found that all other
violations had been corrected after it had been before the board on
April 9, 1981. A vent had been put into the bathroom and a variance had
been granted on windows in the bedroom and living room.
Carol Karstens pointed out that Mr. Royston had originally agreed to install
the handrail but since he hated them, he would remove it again after the
inspector left. Rachel Dennis then mentioned that the unit is owner occupied.
Goldene Haendel asked about the structural•possibility of putting the fan
in the kitchen. David Malone pointed out that it would be very difficult
to vent a fan in the kitchen.
Carol Karstens moved, with the provision that the unit remains owner occupied,
to grant a variance on the kitchen vent fan and uphold the violation for
the handrail in the stairway. .The motion was seconded by Mark Koeni9 and
passed.
APPEAL OF MR. ELDEN ELDEEN

It is lacking a sink in the bathroom. This violation was originally
sited in 1979, but was dropped and reopened in order to allow
Mr. Elden Eldeen an appeal.
Kelley Vezina explained the layout of the bathroom which had both a
toilet and shower taking up the majority of the space. Because of
a brick and concrete wall on one side, and the hallwey on the other, it
is very difficult to install the necessary pipes. Ke11ey Vezina also
said, on his last visit, Mr. Eldeen had spoken to a plumber who said
it would be very costly to correct this problem.
Mark Koenig pointed out that the problem was not in connecting pipes for
drainage, but rather in getting into the stand pipe. +
Kell�y Vezina, said each room does have a kitchen sink not more than 10
feet from the bathroom. The law says there must be a sink in the
bathroom or in an adjacent room. There is no distance discussed in the
connection with the meaning of adjacent.
Since the sinks are close enough to the vicinity of the bathroom, Mark
Koenig made a motion to grant a variance. Carol Karstens seconded the
motion and the variance was passed.
Motion to adjourn made by Mark Koenig was seconded by Carol Karstens
and passed.

APPEAL OF MR. GEORGE SWISHER �
Others present:. Mr. George Swisher
Minutes approved from September 12,
Mr. Swisher is appealing the ceiling height in the kitchen of Apartment 5
located on 504 South Johnson Street. ,
,' Judy Hoard stated that a licensing inspection was done on September 10, 1981,
! and found that the kitchen ceiling in Apartment 5 was lacking the 7 foot re-
' quirement. Said kitchen was cited with a violation in 1980; at that time it
had a bulge in the ceiling. To make correction of that violation, Mr. Swisher
had to put in a suspended ceiling, so it has been lowered. The apartment it-
self ineets all other requirements wi.th the exception of ceiling height.
Rachel Dennis moved to grant a variance for the ceiling height in the kitchen
of Apartment 5. The motion was seconded by Mark Koenig and the variance was
passed.
APPEAL OF MR. PIERRE ALDERSHOF
Others present: Mr. Pierre Aldershof and Mr. Mike Burke
Mr. Aldershof is appealing the'rent escrow eligibility of Apartment 5 located
at 522 E. College Street.
Judy Hoard stated that said property was inspected on April 6, 1981, as a'
licensing inspection; several violations were noted, among them was the
ceiling height in the kitchen of Apartment 5. At that time, Mr. Aldershof did
file an appeal, it was however, after the 10 day period for filing an appeal
and therefore denied. Reinspection was made on September 4, 1981; violations
were corrected with the exception of the kitchen ceiling. Mr. Aldershof had
raised the.ceiling one inch to and inch and one half; however, ceiling was
still under the 7 foot minimum requirement. Because the time period had
expired, property was made eligible for rent escrow. Mr. Aldershof is ap-
pealing the rent escrow based upon the ceiling height violation.

AND BOGGOW BEAL ESIAIE OEEICE (APPLICAIION BY
Hauer stated the reason the Design Beveiw Committee was reviewing the
plans for remode]ing and construction was that Boggow had applied for
industria] revenue bonds.
Marcia Boggow, 304 E. Burlington, presented the proposa] for remodeling
and construction at 304 E. Burlington Street. Boggow stated that
commercia] space would be on the main floor and three apartments would
occupy the upstairs. Boggow discussed the improvements to.the building
which would be made and spoke generally - a]andscape site plan was not
submitted - about landscaping of the site. @oggow discussed the need for
on-site parking spaces, stating that both the H&@ 81ock Iax Service (a new
tenant) and the Ihomas and Hoggow Beal Estate Office had a great deal of
drop-in business. Ihe members discussed this need in light of the fact it
would decrease the amount of �reen space at the site. @oggow recognized
the fact that the Board of AdJustment would make the decisions concerning
the number of parking spaces.
Ihe members discussed some drawbacks in the genera] ]andscaping plans.
Seiberling asked about signage at the site. @oggow stated the sign wou]d
be placed above the pillars and would meet the requirements of the sign
ordinance, but no specific designs were circulated for approval.
Eckholt asked if the requested amount of parking would also service the
apartment. Boggow said no, although the tenants could use the spaces
during non-business hours. Boggow added she expected her tenants would
not have cars. Seiberling asked if a bicycle rack would be provided.
@oggow said there would be a bicycle rack in the back of the building.
Ihe genera] consensus of the members was that the proposed plan for
remodeling and construction at 304 E. Burlington was satisfactory and an
improvement to the corner.
DISCUSSION OE EY82 WO@K PBOGBAM:
Eranklin outlined two of the possibilities for projects in the coming
fisca] year: a uniform graphics system and an educationa] pro�ram for
dov�ntown owners/contractors. Eranklin discussed the merits of um formity
in signage and stated that the Design Beview Committee's criteria for
signage could be developed and then published by the �esign Beview
Committee. Eranklin stated that an educational program for downtown
owners/contractors could consist of anything from a brochure to a
workshop.
Summerwill wondered how the sign ordioance would affect a uniform graphic
system. Eranklin stated that while the sign ordinance pertains to the
]ocation, size and i]]umination of a sign, the Design Review Committee
criteria would apply to the aesthetics of the signs as they are reviewed
by the committee.

DISCUSSION OF FLAGPOLES IN CI�Y PLAZA:
The members discussed the proposed recommendations f.or the flagpoles in
City Plaza. 7he members debated whether f.lags or banners would be more
appropriate.
Wockenf.uss stated that the past recommendation was to have three flags.
He suggested the American flag and two colored flags. Sinek mentioned
maintenance and personne] problems in'volved with running flags up and down
the flagpoles.
Hauer stated the area in question was very windy and a lot of noise would
be generated by the f.lags. The members discussed the cost of. f.lags and
considered the appropriateness of.placing political flags on a city plaza.
Eckholt spoke in favor of having the American flag in a pedestrian mall,
stating the dramatic effect was desirable. Seiberling suggested having
festive occasion flags. Summerwil] questioned the need for lights on the
flagpole. .
Eckholt moved that the City pursue the purchase and installation of
flagpoles for the City Plaza as designed, that these f.lagpoles be lit if
the budget allowed, and that the flags be the American, State of Iowa and
a representative Iowa City flag. Wockenfuss seconded. The motion carried

Summerwill wanted to know if there was any potential for expansion onto the
sidewalk area. Seiberling replied that there was not because of limited space
in the area and the sidewalk use ordinance applied only to the City Plaza.
Burger concluded his remarks by stating that he had forgotten to mention a
yellow permanent awning that would be installed underneath the signage.
Seiberling thanked Burger and Landau for their presentation.
Committee discussion centered araund the potential problems of at least two
different facade designs appearing on what was formerly one unified facade. It
was reiterated that an architect was designing the west one-half and this wouid
assure some degree af compatibility. In addition, there was some concern as to
whether an awning was necessary on the north side of a building; consensus was
that it provided a nice decorative touch as well as shielding patrons from
adverse weather.
Wegman felt that the second flaor of the building would remain in its present
condition which was not very satisfactory in terms of design; he wanted to know
if anything was being coritempiated for upgrading,the second floor. It was again
noted that no design plans were shown for the second story. Wegman expressed
his disappointment.
FY83 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
Hauer reviewed a draft of the Committee's goals and objectives for FY83. The
Committee recommended the addition of one work item; they indicated they would
like to include review of preliminary sign plans for signage in the downtown
area. •
The Committee expressed its desire to be able to make recommendations on
specific building renovations before the renovatian occurred. As an example,
Eckholt cited the old Osco building on City P1aza as an example where the
committee could have suggested a facade treatment which might have resulted in a
more sympathetic treatment of the building and allowed discussion with the
tenant on the use of the City Plaza. Others expressed views on wanting to be
able to comment on the the impact af building renovations in a more
comprehensive manner. It was noted that the Design Review Committee could be
utilized for design standards arising out of the North Side Historical
Freservation Study. The Committee indicated its desire further to discuss its
role at a future date.

SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS:
The Graphics Subcommittee reported they had met and had assembled some basic
criteria and standards which could be used in evaluating signage coming before
the Cammittee. These criteria include: legibility, color, proportional scale,
placement, and type of use. Amert, as a spokesperson for the subcommittee, said
that they would like to develop a narrative on these principles which could be
sent to people as an explanation and educational tool. Seiberling suggested the
subcommittee give examples of what good signage constitutes for illustration of
these principles. '
The Design Education Subcommittee stated aesthetic considerations were the
organizing principle for their work. The Committee would first like to work on
some sort of display such as a visual representation of what facade renovations
would look like on existing downtown buildings. Seiberling indicated a local
bank was willing to give lobby space for an exhibit. A second activity that this
subcommittee would like to explore is having some sort of "Design Awareness
Week" in which workshops or presentations could be given to elaborate on
comprehensive design principles. Eckholt said that he was explo�ing the
possibilities of a National Endowment for the Arts grant for this kind of
activity. Lafore stated his support for this type of activity because it would
allow the Committee to work on a more long-range basis to implement design
goals.
MINUTES PROCEDURE:
Hauer indicated that she would like permission from the Committee to send
minutes to .the Council before approval from the Committee so that its
recommendations and resolutions could be acted upon in a timely fashion. She
indicated that these minutes, would bear a visible notation such "Preliminary
Minutes -- Not Approved By The Design Review Committee." The Committee
indicated its approval.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
Summerwill expressed her dissatisfaction with the inability of the Committee Lo
camment on exterior renovations such as the old Osco building. She said that
other buildings in the vicinity such as Bushnell's Turtle had done excellent
renovation jobs and that the tenant in the Osco building might have been
persuaded to a more sympathetic treatment of the building if he had come before
the Committee.
Eckholt wanted to know if the City notified property owners on the City Plaza of
the potential use of the plaza for sidewalk cafe space. Hauer stated that a
letter had been sent out within the past month to all businesses on the City
Plaza giving information on the City Plaza ordinance. She indicated that no
inquiries had been received.
Seiberling regretted that there was no chance to talk about the renovation plans
and to explain the possibilities on using City Plaza to the developer.

i reached on the leases by January 15, 1982, or the matter will be subjected to
arbitration.
Returning to item 3-a of the agenda, [he FY-83 budget, Zehr distributed copies of

MEMBERS ARSENT:
STAFF PRESENT:

GUESTS PRESENT: Anne Glenister, Project GREEN
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL
None .
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTION TAKEN
Moved by Berry, seconded by Humbert that the October 14 minutes be approved as
written. Unanimous.
Wooldrik asked about the sodding of an area downtown which was done by park
crews. This is a city-owned lot next to Bushnell's; funds came from the park
budget.
Riddle wanted to know about setting a date for trick-or-treat night. Showalter
and Lee responded that there had been public opposition to the city setting a
date in past years. For the past few years the Recreation Center and UNICEF
have determined the date for the parade, and no one has specified trick-or-
treat night. When asked if the Commission should make a recommendation regard-
ing trick-or-treat night, Showalter responded that it would be the decision of
the Commission; it may, however, be more appropriate to designate parade night.
No action.
PROPOSED BUDGETS
Administration. A proposed increase of 15% in salaries brought up a question
about federal wage increase guidelines. Showalter responded that the Senior
Account Clerk position would receive a merit increase of approximately 5% per
year, and the cost of living increase is set by union contract. For FY82 this
was 8.2%.
Parks. Flayground equipment: this is for replacement, and is not as yet desi9-
nated as to where it will be used. Longevity: this is a yearly bonus to long-
time employees; it is city-wide, for permanent full-time employees. Landfill
charges: everyone pays to use the landfill; it is self-supporting. Vehicle
replacement and rentals: includes pickups, tractors, and associated machinery.
The equipment division charges fees per vehicle/machine for maintenance and
replacement. Everything is on a replacement schedule, and fees are based on
cost and length of usage. Wodldrik asked to see a report on all equipment, age,
condition, breakdown of charges, repair costs, and replacement schedules.• Park
crews also do work for other departments; this is done only when there are not
regular park duties to be compieted. Other departments do work for Parks and
Recreation also.

Recr2ation. Salaries include ten full-time and many part-time workers. Utilities
.are expected to increase 15A over the FY82 budgeted amount with a 20ro increase for
gas. The uniform and laundry service is mostly for cleaning of the custodial.� '
uniforms. Aid to agencies includes 51,100 each for Girls Softball, Babe Ruth, and
Little League.
The Parks and Recreation Commission will meet with the City Council on �anuary 13
at 7:00 p.m. at the Civic Center to discuss proposed budgets. There will be a
regular Cortmission meeting afterward. .
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Humbert reported that the Riverfront Commission did not want to meet with the
Parks and Recreation Commission at this time. The staff is working on alternative
locations for a boat ramp above the Burlington Street dam.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Showalter asked the Commission to resolve a conflict regarding the use of a
Mercer Park ball diamond. The University women's softball coach submitted a
' proposed sprin9 1982 schedule, and was refused three dates because of interfer-
�' ence with our league practices. A review was requested and they were granted
two of the dates, but again refused May 4. After a lengthy discussion re9arding
recreation league schedules, lack of fields, accommodating the most people,: co-
operation between the University and the city, etc., it was moved by Berry,
seconded by Humbert that the staff cooperate with the University in scheduling
their games as long as they don't conflict with the regular use of the diamonds
by the general public. Unanimous.
Berry and Hillman complete their Comnission terms in December, so there will be
two vacancies. Several persons have applications on file; the Council will make
appointments at their December 10 meeting.
CHAIR REPORT
Riddle set several goals for his year as chair: '
1. Budget needed funds for lands and programs.
2. The condition of City Park pool is questionable, and we should start to
look into repairing it, replacing it, or building a Wave-Tek pool.
3. Organize Swim Club, soccer, Babe Ruth, Little League, and Girls Softball
to aid in working out scheduling,�fields, aid to agencies funding, etc.
4, Better control of the fields, maintenance, scheduling, practice times, etc.
Riddle appointed Berry and Mitchell to work with him on a committee to meet with
the individual 9roups. Another suggestion ���as to ask them for an accounting of
their funds. After a lengthy discussion, it was decided that the committee would
begin working with the groups and organizing their requests to Parks and Recrea-
tion for facilities. Showalter will be staff liaison.
OTHER BUSINESS
The Oecember meeting will be held Wednesday, December 2, at 7:00 p.m.
Mitchell asked about closing streets for the MS Marathon. Lee responded that

Page 4, second paragraph, line 7- 1. Dean Oakes agreed to put in the
secondary access. '
The minutes of October 15 were approved as amended. Blum asked if
anyone was present who wished to speak on an item not an the agenda.
Dick Buxton, 2655 Hillside Drive, brought up the problem of off-
street parking of motor homes and urged•the Commission to take action
on this matter. Buxton expressed concern over motor homes which were
parked on the street and h7ocked sidewalks, ruined trees, and spoiled
the appearance of neighborhoods.
Buxton referred to Section 8.10.25 which requires screening of off-
street parking areas when more than four cars were parked in an off-
street lot and wondered if the parking of one motor home could count
as sufficient so as to allow for screening i,n an R1 neighborhood.
Blum stated that if a motor home was blocking a sidewalk, 8uxton had
recourse to an ordinance which prohibits the blocking of a sidewalk.
Buxton said that he was more concerned with motor homes being stored
in residential neighborhoods than with the fact that they often block
sidewalks.
Blum stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission has discussed
exploring an ordinance which would limit the height of anything
parked in a front or side yard.
Buxton suggested that if such an ordinance was drafted, motor hames,
recreational vehicles and recreational objects be specified and that
not just the term "motor vehicles" be used. Buxton then thanked the
Commission for their time and returned to his seat.
Blum asked if anyone was present to speak on the zoning items on the
agenda. No one was. Blum suggested that the Commission proceed with
the subdivision items and come back to the zoning items later in the
meeting. A11 were agreed.
SUBDIVISION ITEMS:
5-8114. Public discussion of an application submitted by Larry
Waters for approval of the preliminary subdivision plat for Waters
First Addition, located north of Muscatine Avenue, west of Southlawn
Drive, south of the proposed Oakes Meadow Addition and east of Memory
Gardens; 45-day limitation period: waived.

Boothroy suggested that these two items be discussed at the same
time. Boothroy expressed concern over the number of lots fronting.on
Muscatine Avenue in the Waters First Addition, stating that while the
subdivision code did not have specific requirements for a standard
that deals with the limited access issue, a good subdivision design
was the general intent of the ordinance. Boothroy stated that a
potential hazard existed with tao many driveways accessing Muscatine
Avenue and asked for a legat opinion. Boothroy mentioned that the
applicants had agreed to waive the 60-day limitation period.
Woito gave no format written opinion but had reviewed the issues.
Woito stated that a recent Supreme Court cases treated these
questions and had ruled in favor of a liberal reading of subdivision
regulations. Woito stated that decisions could be based on a
standard which would attain the needs of the community (traffic,
consideration of density, movement of streets) and said that the
Planning and Zoning Commission would be correct to apply a liberal
reading of the subdivision code.
Blum said that a precedent had been set for this in Iowa City in the
past.
Boothroy stated that the Commissio� had adopted a set of standards
concerning road radius and access points. Blum said that informal
adoption had taken place and expressed appreciation of the legal
opinian.
Woito stated that each subdivision was unique and the facts and
circumstances of each one was necessarily different. Woito warned
that each one be considered individually is a legislative
discretion.
J. Patrick' White, Attorney for Larry Waters, spoke on the item,
stating that most of those matters discussed at the last meeting had�
been corrected. �
White stated that Kammerer, Engineer for the applicant, had not
thought it productive to reorient lots presently facing Muscatine
Avenue. White acknowledged the continuing concern over the problem
of access points onto Muscatine Avenue due to the present zoning, but
stated that Rochester Avenue had more traffic and had more access
points than what was present7y being proposed. White urged that the
preliminary plat be approved and that the final plat be subject to
certain conditions.
Blum agreed that there was a problem on Rochester Avenue and stated
that the mistake should not be repeated. Blum wondered if a limit of
three access points might be considered. "
White stated that while a rezoning request might be considered later
to change the configuration of the lots, three access points
presently seemed an unacceptable limit.

Boothroy suggested common driveways as being a possible solution to
the problem with a common driveway agreement being provided pursuant
to Chapter 31 of the Code of Ordinances.
White stated that his client was not ready yet to look at any
specific designs. Blum asked if a plat could be approved with a
restrictive agreement attached to it. Boothroy stated that it had
been done in the past with the provisian of reciprocal easements
(e.g. Regency Gardens).
Blum pointed out the advantages common driveways could have to the
lot. White stated that it coutd be enforceable by a subdivision
agreement to have not less than six access points an Muscatine
Avenue.
White waived the 60-day limitation period on the final plat, stating
that it was. not ready to be submitted to the City Council for
recommendation.
Seward stated a preference to treat both the preliminary and final
plats at the same time. Blum wished to,pursue the access issue.
Seward stated that an overriding concern was the number of access
points to Muscatine Avenue and the curvature of the roads.
White suggested approving the preliminary plat contingent upon
limiting access points to not less than three and not more than six
to allow the applicant to work on the final plat knowing that the
preliminary plat had been approved.
Blum suggested that the contingency approval be based on mutual
agreement and not the City Council's resolution of any problem.
Woito stated that the City Council would consider the entire
recommendation with the contingency attached and that they had the
right to reject the entire item.
The members discussed the problems inherent in an approval based on
contingency.
Marian Neely, Attorney for �ean Oakes, spoke in favor of approving
the preliminary plat, stating that the curvature of the streets was
approved by an earlier commission, and a secondary access requested
had been furnished. Neely stated that approval could be contingent
on getting Lhe right of way from the Moose Lodge.
Neely waived the 60-day limitation period for the final plat.
The members discussed the appropriate wording of a contingency. Blum
expressed the hope that any future agreement based on the contingency
would fully detail the number of access points so as to ensure
safety.

actio�s and heve no relation to m,y reportarial responsibilities.
i� I believe the Rov�ow request for cit,y assisted financing i.s tlawed in s
several significant wa,ys--chieP amon¢ them her apparent admission she
did not seek conventional financing Por the project, (Oct. 9 memo
j from rinance Director ditosh:°`1'he anpllcetion form ., does not indicr_�
that she had anolied for conventional Pinancino, bht�thet several
3avings and Loans heve recomn:ended that she use the IR3 orogram rather
than conventional financing £or this project.") Roggow�s effort hrzrdlv 1
eeemsto represont a�ood faith effort to secure mone,y in the market- 1
; place.
i
�uilding plans on file for the projeet indicste the building exnansion
will m nsist of primarilg frame construction. �^+hile I am mindfizl of !
the terri�'ic cost difference betwoen frame construction and rr�asonry
� load bearing or steel frame/r%asonry veneer constructi.on, it seems to
i me the city�s long terminterest is better served b,y the latter tyoes
of construction. The b�iildinps will last longer end generate triore tax
irevenue. 1t doesn�t aeen unreasonable for the city to espect a more �
� substentiol constnuction technioue in exchanqe Sor tho Tinencin¢ "i'avoe".
I proslme tne owner did not nropose a different type of constraction,
bec��.��se the size of her lot nnd the desire to re-use bhe eaistinp strub-
ture, is not cost effectiva. That nres>>m�tion, i.f velid, would indicate
the cit,y tirill encourage an inefficient land use if the reau��st is c�nnroved.'
Rog�ow�s plans indicate a part of her lot w�i11 be v,:iven over to nsrking
and landscaping. It is unclear whethr:r the council wishes to require �
c,nunercial rcdevelopment in the revitelizati.on area to ��eet the same
standards set out 3n the Urban ftenewal Plan in re�ard to lot covera�o.
But it soems to me that some sort of star_derds ozght to be adont�d to
encourage lot consoli4ation and minumum covera�e req�.iir�ants so rs de-
velopi�ent does not contiue existing land use patterns, Corrmerichal 7.a� '

Re: Apartment complex
Court and Gilbert
I apologize that this letter did not get to you prior to tbday. As
property owners on the Northeast corner of the intersection of Gilbert and
Court, we wish to express the following concerns about the development of
the complex we have heard about in the news media.
1• ParkinR• We are concerned that in this oroject adequate parking
be a consideration. There is little parking in this area at this time.
It is important that there be adequate parking provided for and that there
not be any decrease in the requirements of this complex.
2. Traffic. If this complex is large and generates a lot of traffic,
we believe that the Council can expect demands by the public and the neigh-
borhood that a traffic signal be installed at the i'ntersection of Gilbert
and Court. This is extra cost to tUe City which should be considered.
3. Flood control. Although we were not in our present location in
1973, we are aware of the fact that Ralston Creek flooded our area exten-
sively and that water was at the side of our building. We would hope that
the City would not allow any reduction in the requirements of flood protec-
tion both for the sake of the Cenanta of the proposed complex and for the
ather property owners in the area.
I apologize for the Cardinesa of this letter. I expected to be able
to attend tonight s meeting but could not because anothex matter has come
up.
Ide hope Che Council will conaider our concerna in its discussion of
tiie propased complex, the Induatrial Revenue IIonds nnd the relocation of
the sewex. A large complex will have great impact on thie area. It ie
important that the matter muat be carefully put Cogether to avoid problems

Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Jay:
This is a respanse to your letter of November 10, 1981, concerning
the proposed apartment complex at Court and Gilbert Streets. Several
of the issues which you raised in your letter were resolved at the
time the project was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission
and the Board of Adjustment. The parking meets City requirements,
and the entrance to the project was revised to reduce the amount of
traffic conflict. In addition special provisions concerning flood
control were incorporated into the project.
If yau wish to review the plans, please contact Doug Boothroy in the
Planning and Program Development Department. A1so if you have any
other questions concerning this matter please contact me. The
hearing on this project will be held on December 8 at the regular
Council meeting.
Sincerely yours,
Neal G. Berlin

12 Deerfield Common
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
October 7.1, 1981
Zn writing this letter, I again represent twenty-four
homeowners in Deerfield Common.
In a letter written July 21, 1981, we requested some
limited pnrlcing on Village Road Soutli 3rom the intersection
oi 1Yayne Avenue and received a response Yrom L�r. Berlin
dated September 10, 1981. The position o3 the city
was explained very clearly and we agree that complete
abandonment of the exsisting policy would not be tivise.
S9e, do however, feel that evening (6 p.m, to midnight)
or overnight (� p,m, to G a.m.) parking could solve our
problems and not in any way hamper the Plow oP-very
light traffic on Village Road during these hours.
19e aslc that you take unother loolc at tl�is situation
and hope that this modiiication of parking policy on
Village Road South oP the SVayne Street intersection can
be approved.

Dear Mrs. Stokely:
This letter is to respond to your latest request to alter the
existing parking prohibition on Village Road. Specifically you are
suggesting that parking be allowed during the evening hours. A
revision to permit parking between 6:00 PM and 2:00 AM certainly will
not inconvenience the general public. Therefore, I have instructed
the Public Works Department to submit the proposed change for City
Council approval as saon as possible. This will provide parking on
one side of Village Road south fram the intersection of Wayne Avenue.
If you have any other questions concerning this matter or other City
services, give me a call.
Sincerely yours,

Mr. & Mrs. Greg McClenahan
650 S. Governor
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. & Mrs. McClenahan:
This letter is to respond to your petition for the elimination of
calendar parking in the 600 block of South Governor Street. The City
Council considered this matter in its discussions in 1978 regarding
on-street parking throughout the City. At that time the City Council
recognized there would be certain areas that would have slightly
differing needs and conditions from other areas. However, it is the
City Council's opinion that a uniform policy based upon area and upon
street width was the most desirable approach to take in regulating
on-street parking. The purpose of the prohibition is to reduce the
use oi streets for parking, increase the safe use of streets by
eliminating parking on both sides and facilitate street cleaning and
snow removal.
The City Council is not disposed at this time to alter these
decisions and policies reached after lengthy discussion and much
public input.
Sincerely yours,
Neal G. Berlin

Mr. Charles C. Wunder
702 W: Park Road
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. Wunder:
IThank you for your recent letter to the City Council. While I
understand your concern about the number of vehicles using Park Road,
there is no evidence to indicate that the number of vehicles had any
relationship to the pedestrian accident which occurred on
October 30, 1981. This accident was the result of a pedestrian
exiting from a vehicle and walking from behind the vehicle into a
• path of an approaching car.• •The physical evidence on the scene
indicated that the approaching vehicle was traveling not more than 20
to 25 miles per hour and that the inattentiveness of the pedestrian
rather than driver error was the major causal factor. As a result of
this investigation no charges were filed against the driver:
Sincerely yours,

Dear Councilmembers:

� NOV 1 8 1981 D
ABBIE STOLFUS
CITY CLERK
As residents of Dodge Street we are concerned about the recent construction
of apartment units at 412 South Dodge. We feel such construction is inappropria[e
and should be discouraged because it is incompatible with the existing housing.
It is our understanding that the ci[y is presently considering a change in
the zoning classification of Dodge(and the surrounding streets) that would perhaps
make such high density apartment construction a zoning violation.
Un�il the downzoning issue is settled, however, we strongly urge you to
impose a moratorium on any multi-unit apartment construcCion which would require
the demolition or removal of existing housing. This moratorium would cover only
those areas currently being considered for eventual downzoning. The moratorium
should be in effect for a minimum of six months, and include a provision for
another six months renewal if the city has not finalized the new zoning ordinance
at the end of the first six months.
lde hope you can understand our desire for a quick decision from you. Unless
a moratorium is imposed soon, downzoning will have no benefit for our neighborhood.
At..your 11/2G/81 meeting we.hope you can set the.date for a public hearing on this
question. We are sure the public response to our proposal will convince you that
this request fias a.great deal of community support.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Larry:
This letter responds to the petition of November 17, 1981, to the
City Council requesting that a moratorium on multi-family
construction be instituted in your neighborhood. The City Council
discussed this matter and it appears that the consensus of the
Council is that the appropriate time to consider this proposal is in
conjunction with the proposed zoning ordinance revision for that
area. It is expected such revisions will be presented to the City
Council during 1982.
Your interest in this matter certainly is appreciated.

November 17, 1981
Parking is probably one of the most difficult problems for the downtown
merchants to face. At least 95 % of our customers drive to our studio for
their portraits to be taken, proofs to be received, orders to be placed,
and finally completed orders to be picked up.
In the past,.parking has been a problem. Now that the Senior Citizen
Center has taken the entire lot behind Kent Studio, parking has become even
more acute. Those that parked in this lot before, have now been forced to
park.on the street. Students going to class have virtually clos_d the
parking on Iowa Avenue. This leaves only a few spaces on Linn�Street for
bur.customers.and the surrounding businesses:
It is vital to'our business to have close parking.because many of
the customers bring several changes of clothing, small children, and have
. `spent a considerable amount of time getting ready for their por[rait.
Now that this lot has been closed, can you offer an alternative to
solve the parking problem short of relocating outside of the downtown
area like many other businesses have?
Thank yow
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Coleman:
Thank you for your recent letter to the City Council concerning
parking problems in the central business district. For customers who
would like to park at the front door of every business, obviously
parking in the central business district will continue to be a
problem. However, a great number of parking spaces are available in
the central business district for your customers. You may wish to
suggest to your customers the City's parking ramp located at the
corner of Burlington Street and Linn Street. In addition, even
closer parking areas are found in Chauncey Swan Plaza and on
Washington Street adjacent to the Civic Center. I hope these
suggestions will assist you and your customers.

Re: Hotel-Department Store Project
Dear Mr. Berlin:
A Joint Venture
of
Plazn Retail Associates
and
Towers Hotel Associates
I am writing this letter in response to the City
Council's concern, as expressed by you, about Plaza Towers
Associates progress in arranging the financing for the above
project. As you know from our previous reports to you, we
have been exploring several different financing avenues in
connection with this project. At this time, we can report
that we have made some progress and we will be meeting next
week to continue negotiations on a specific solution.
However, it is our opinion that it would be premature for
there to be a public discussion of this financing plan. We
would also prefer to discuss the matter with you and the
appropriate staff persons before our meeting with the
Council. To allow time for these things to happen, it is
our suggestion that we meet with the Council at the work
session on December 7, 1981. Please let us know if this
will be satisfactory.
Very truly yours,

To the council:
Recently a variety of businesses have asked the
city council to authorize the issuance of Industrial
Revenue Bonds. It seems like these bonds are a great
way of encouraging growth do�onto�an: businesses get loans
at less than prime rate, banks make money on the loans,
and the city's tax base is increased. Everyone gains.
But there is one loser, and that's the United States
Treasury. Last year the treasury lost two billion dollars nation-
.�
wide on Industrial Revenue Bonds, since the interest paid on these
loans is tax-free. Guess iaho's cp'ing to have to make up
this loss of two billion dollars? And if we don't make
federal
,up the loss, another�program wi11 have to be cut--maybe
mass transit or sewage treatment construction funds. �
Did Younkers(owned by one of the largest insurance !
i
companies in America) really need the benefit of
$1.6 million worth of Industrial Revenue Bonds issued by
Iowa City last year? Should Jim Clark really be rewarded
with industrial Revenue Bonds after destroying many beautiful '
old houses for his apartments? Does the expansion of
Roggow Real Estate really qualify for a subsidy? Is it proper for us ,
� provide an economic tool that enablesafinancially healthy national corporation,j
irange Julius). avoid paying for a conventional loan ? '

RE� lielble subdivision
We have received a request fmm the attorney for the otaner of tracttNl
located in the Helble Subdivision which is located outside of the City,
but within the two mile limit. The purpose of the resolutian is to
give assurances to the attorney for the oiuner that the City will not
take action•for failure to properly subdivide in that the City was never
consulted about the plat nor had the City approved same as required by
Chaptcr 409 of the Iowa Code. This is an old subdivision and the Council
took similar action within the past year in 'the Hershberger Subdivision.
The purpose of the resolution and the authorization for me to send the
letter to the owner's attorney is to remove a cloud upon the title.
Should the Council have any questions, I taill be available at the in-
formal meeting on November 23rd to ansiuer same along toith the attorney
for the o�oner.

Mr. James R. Keele
Attorney at Law
Keele $ Keele, P.C.
104 East Third Street
West Liberty, Iowa 52776
Re: Tract No. 1 as shown and described on plat recorded in Plat Book
14, page 64, Plat Records of Johnson County, Iowa, situated in
Section 26, Township 80 North, Range 6 West of the Sth P.hl.
Dear Mr. Keele:
This letter is to advise you of the position of the City of Iowa
City with respect to the above property. It is our understanding that
this property is a part of the subdivision of land that has not been
properly subdivided in accordance with Chapter 409 of the Code of Iowa
in that the City of Iowa City has not been consulted about the plat nor
approved the same as required by Chapter 409.
The City Council of Iowa City has authorized me to advise you that
the City has no plans to attack the issuance of building permits for the
above described property either now or in the future nor does it intend
to attack the legal description used to describe the same.
The City is concerned about the fact that a subdivision of land
did take place in violation apparently of the provisions of Chapter 409
of the Code of Iowa and also perhaps in violation of the provisions of
the Johnson County Zoning Ordinance. The assurances given in this letter
should not be considered as approval by the City of such conveyancos and
subdivision of land nor should it be considered as any type of precedent
in connection with future situations of this sort. Indeed, the City will
in all probability take an active role in trying to make sure that all
applicable regulations and laws have Ueen complied with in connection
with subdivisions of land both within and without the City over which
the City has control.
However, with respect to the particular property descriUed above,
the City Council does not intend any action with respect thereto.

STATEMEN7 OF OBJECTIVES
�' During the last year community development planning staff has identified
neighborhoods within Iowa City with concentrations of low and moderate income
households and significant community development needs. The City's Committee on
Community Needs (CCN), after reviewing the problems of each of these
neighborhoods and conducting several public hearings and neighborhood meetings,
decided that CDBG funds should be spent in four neighborhoods on high priority
projects such as housing rehabilitation, energy conservation, housing code
enforcement, and Ralston Creek improvements. In addition to the neighborhood
projects CCN also identified important community-wide development needs, such
as the acquisition of sites for public housing. The entire process of analyzing
neighborhood conditions, identifying high priority projects, selecting programs
for funding, and approving the CDBG program by the City Council took more than
five months. The objectives of the proposed 1982 CDBG program can be stated as
follows:
TO COMPLETE THE LOWER RALSTON CREEK FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT.
2. TO CONTINUE THE CITY'S EFFORT TD PRESERVE AND REHABILITATE .ITS OLDER
HOUSING UNITS THROUGH ITS HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM.
3. TO SPEED THE CONSTRUCTION OF ASSISTED HOUSING UNITS BY PURCHASING PARCELS
OF LAND SUITABLE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF LOW INCOME HOUSING.
4. . TO VIGOROUSLY SUPPORT THE HOUSING INSPECTION PROGRAM.
5. TO CONTINUE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING ACTIVITIES WITH A SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON
THE NEEDS OF THE CITY'S OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS.
6. TO EXPAND THE CITY'S EFFORTS TO PLAN FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
7. TO EfFICIENTLY ADMINISTER CDBG ACTIVITIES.

Lower Ralston Creek Improvements
During the past three years the City of Iowa City has targeted its COBG funds in
the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Strategy Area. The long term objectives of
these expenditures have been to:
-Eliminate the threat of flooding in the Lower Ralston Creek neighborhood by
constructing channel improvements designed to contain 100 year frequency
floods throughout the reaches of the project area.
-Reduce floading in Iowa City's central neighborhoods by constructing flood
improvements in the Lower Ralston Creek NSA.
-Eliminate the health and safety hazards of substandard housing units by
relocating Lower Ralston Creek residents to decent, safe and sanitary
housing units in non-flood prone areas.
-Eliminate blight in the neighborhood by rehabilitating structures with
CDBG and Section 312 funds.
-Assemble fragmented parcels of land for commercial use. Parcels of land
which have been acquired will be combined and sold for redevelopment,
.thereby insuring rational land use. .
The remaining objectives of the program, to be carried out in 1982, are:
-To widen and stabilize the Ralston Creek c hannel in order to provide
sufficient capacity to contain 100 year floods throughout the channel reach
from Harrison Street to Kirkwood Avenue.
-To prepare a site suitable for assisted hausing.
-To rehabilitate four owner-occupied homes.
These activities will complete planned activities in the Lower Ralston Creek
neighborhood and are budgeted for $330,500.
Housinq Rehabilitation and Weatherization
The City of Iowa City will continue its effort to preserve the housing stock of
its older neighborhoods by making funds available for housing rehabilitation.
These funds will be targeted to four older neighborhoods most in need of
' assistance. Housing rehabilitation and weatherization activities will receive
$129,000 in CDBG funds.
�
' Public Housing Site Acquisition
Suitable sites for assisted housing are scarce in Iowa City. In order to speed
the construction of assisted housing, CDBG funds are needed to purchase suitable
parcels of land and to make necessary public improvements (sidewalks, sewers,
etc.) to these sites. In this application $75,000 has been budgeted for the
acquisition and improvement of sites for assisted housing.

Housinq Code Enforcement
During the past 20 years population increases and the decrease in the average
household size have combined to drastically increase the demand for rental
housing. In 1975 the rental vacancy rate in Iowa City was estimated to be only
.98%. Given the heavy demand for rental housing, many landlords choose not to
invest in their properties. The housing code enforcement program will insure
that landlords properly maintain their properties.
During 1982 $12,000 has been budgeted to insure strict compliance with the City
housing code in four neighborhoods.
Community Development Planning
During the past year community development planning activities have
concentrated on Iowa City's neighborhoods. Neighborhood and comprehensive
planning activities will continue in 1982 at a cost of $26,924.
Economic Development Planning
The purpose of the economic development planning program will be to develop a
set of short and long term economic development policy alternatives for
consideration by the City Council. While the planning will concentrate on
community-wide issues such as employment, resource productivity, and housing,
economic development program alternati+ies for specific geographic areas such as
the downtown and neighborhoods will also be studied. Coordination of activities
with the University of Iowa, local business organizations, and other interested
parties will also be an objective of the City's economic development planning
program. CD4G funds will be used to fund $5,080 of the expense of the City's
economic development planning staff.
General Program Administration
Monitoring program activities, recordkeeping, insuring compliance with
regulations, coordinating activities, and citizen participation will require
$106,493 in program funds.
Contingency
A contingency of $13,403 is reserved for planned activities.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this manual is to set forth the policies by which all
personnel-related decisions, made by either supervisor or employee, will
be guided. A policy is not a rule or a procedure - specific rules and
procedures may be found in negotiated labor contracts and in operating
procedures published by the Numan Relations Department and other City
departments - but rather a guide to thinking and decision-making. These
policies define the area within which decisions should be made� oals
guarantee that the decision made will be in line with overall City g
regarding employee relations. Policies provide for necessary flexibility
within a framework of guidance that will assure consistency in personnel
decisions.
ADMINISTRATION
These policies shall cover all City employees, except that temporary '
employees may not be covered by all provisions. Iowa City Public Library ,
employees are excluded. ;
Questions of interpretation should be addressed to the Human Relations i
Department. The City Manager or designee shall be responsible for the �
final interpretation of the application of these policies to issues which
are not specificaily covered by using the principles expressed herein as a ;
guide. �
All permanent employees af the City shall be furnished a copy of the City ;
Personnel Policies upon appointment, and shall be advised of any changes i
or amendments. _ '

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
General Policy
As established in the Affirmative Action Policy of the City of Iowa City,
it is the policy of the City to provide equal employment opportunities for
all employees or potential emptoyees of the City regardless of race,
creed, color, sex, ancestry, religion, age, sexual orientation, marital
status, mental or physical handicap or disability, except where age, sex,
or physical ability constitute a bona fide occupational qualification
necessary for job performance. This impartial judgment shall extend into
all areas of personnel administration.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is a form of employee misconduct which undermines the
integrity of. the employment relationship. Sexual harassment is
deliberate or repeated unsolicited verbal comments, questions,
representations or physical contacts of an intimate sexual nature which
are unwelcome to the recipient. Sexual harassment can take the form of
making or threatening to make decisions affecting an employee's job on the
basis of an acceptance or refusal of a request for sexual intimacy.
Sexual harassment can also take the form of conduct that has the purpose
or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's work
performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work
environment.
Sexual harassment is unacceptable conduct in any form, and can be a basis
for a sex discrimination charge. Employees who engage in sexual
harassment can expect serious disciplinary action.
All City employees have an affirmative duty to prevent sexual harassment
in the workplace by producing an environment that exposes and discourages
sexual harassment of all kinds.
Complaint Procedure
The City is receptive to receiving complaints of sexual harassment or
denial of civil rights and appropriate action will be taken. Employees
charging sexual harassment or denial of their civil rights may use
grievance procedures outlined in the City's Affirmative Action Plan or may
appeal informally to appropriate and impartial supervisors and to the
Human Relations Department.
LABOR RELATIONS
The City recognizes its duty to bargain collectively only with those
employee organizations certified by the Public Employment Relations Board
as provided by State law. Pursuant to this requirement, the duties,
obligations, and rights of• the City and each certified employee
organization are set forth in the collective bargaining agreements

effect on the employee's success with the City of Iowa City, as well as
having an effect on the quality of service to the citizens of Iowa City.

Appearance-Grooming
�
Employees are expected to maintain personal appearance and a level of
grooming which is considerate of �ther employees, and projects an image
which inspires the confidence of citizens and others with which the
employee must associate in the course of work. Employees are also
required to adhere to safety and health standards.
Supplemental Employment
Supplemental employment engaged in outside of regular City working hours
must in no way interfere or conflict with the satisfactory performance of
City duties. No employee is to conduct any supplementary employment
during regular working hours unless authorized leave has been approved in
advance. Supplemental employment is not encouraged. .
Education
i Advance approval from the City Manager is necessary for an employee to
engage in any educational effort during normal working hours, other than
that which may be provided by the City. Consideration of the request will
be based upon the direct benefit to the City, and a demonstrated ability
of the employee to effectively carry out the responsibilities of his/her
; position. Employees are encouraged to schedule educational programs
outside of regular hours whenever possible. Approval of any educational
effort during regular working hours will be the exception.

affects job performance, which may be helped by professional treatment or
counseling, are encouraged to seek treatment or counseling. Supervisors

referral service and other available community resources. Alcoholism or
drug addiction as illnesses are not causes for discipline, but if
assistance is offered and job performance is not raised to an acceptable
level, disciplinary action will be taken. Nothing in this section
relieves employees of responsibility for conduct on the job.
DISCIPLINE
Disciplinary Measures
The responsibility of the City to maintain efficient operations
occasionally may require taking disciplinary action against employees.
The objective of disciplinary action is to correct behavior and produce '
efficient City operations rather than merely to punish wrongdoers.
�isciplinary action against employees will be taken only for just cause.
Employees in bargaining units should refer to the appropriate collective
bargaining agreement for further clarification.

behavior for which disciplinary action may be taken.

ments and in the Human Relations Department and are available for employee
review.

entry requirements and departmental needs. A major change in any of these

Probationary Period
All new or promoted permanent employees will serve a probationary period

utilized for closely monitoring employees' work, for securing the most
effective adjustment of a new or promoted employee to the position, and
for rejecting any employee whose performance at any time during this
period does not meet the required standards. Employee performance will be
formally evaluated at the completion of the probation period.
Promotions
Among equally qualified applicants, permanent City employees will receive
preference in job appointments.
Employment of Relatives

action which might result in or create the appearance of using public
office for private gain, giving preferential treatment to any person, or
losing impartiality in conducting City business.
If an employee determines that he or she has an outside interest which may

MEMORANDUM
Date: November 20, 1981
To: Neal Berlin, City Manager
From: Joe Fowler,�Parking Systems Supervisor
Re: Security Duties Performed by Maintenance Workers
In addition to performing their scheduled maintenance duties, the night
maintenance workers in parking perform limited security duties. They
patrol the interior of the ramps, make bank deposits, and monitor vehicles
as they exit.
When a problem develops at one of the ramps the maintenance workers notify
the Iowa City Police Department by radio and advise them of the situation.
They report the incident, describe the individuals involved, and give the
direction of travel. Seldom do the maintenance workers actually stop
individuals for occurrences. Their role is mainly to abserve and report.
On November 20th, I checked with Captain Strand, shift commander of the
11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. shift at the Iowa City Police Department. After
checking with his sergeants, he advised that to date the night maintenance
workers at the parking ramps are doing a very good job. He stated that
they provide them with the information they need to perform their duties.
He also stated that he heard other police officers state that they
preferred City staff to private security.
I daily check with the Iowa City Police Department records room to get all
police reports of problems involving the parking ramps. Almost all
incidents occur Thursday through Saturday nights and increase if there is
a home football game. Vandalism and theft are the main problems. This
appears to reflect the trend of crimes committed in the CBO.
The advantage of using City staff over private security is the additional
work output. In the past when we have employed private security they
performed the same duties as our workers now do, but they did nothing
else. Our employees perform cashier and cleaning duties while providing
the same level of security. We have not used private security personnet
for the past 11 months and we have seen no change in the activities in the
parking ramps.

FY83 Budget
A. Preliminary Discussion
In the next couple of weeks the City Manager will be reviewing the budget
proposals of the departments, preparing specific program and financing
recommendations, and developing a balanced budget.
Transit, library services, human service programs, housing and code
enforcement are areas about which both current and new Council members
have expressed interest. While it is clear that the City will'be unable
to add significant new program areas or greatly expand existing programs
because of revenue shortfatls in FY83 and subsequent years, discussion of
these issues before the budget is prepared could save the staff a great
deal of extra work and expedite the budget review for the City Council.
Therefore, time has been reserved at tfie informal Council session of
November 23 to have this preliminary discussion with the current Council
together with the new members. The intent of this discussion is not'for
the Council to make final decisTons, but rather to indicate areas of
concern or special interest.
Some of the issues the Council should consider are:
1. ,What particular service areas deserve special attention?
2.
3.
4.
5.
Are there areas in which you would like to receive both program and
revenue alternatives?
Are there revenue increases or new revenue sources which you are
favorable to and perhaps others you would not consider?
What is your attitude about transferring•certain costs out of the
general fund, such as health and life insurance costs to the trust
and agency fund.
What about funding new human service agencies or significant
increases in human service funding?
6. Are there particular areas of the budget where you would like to
consider a reduction in the service level or a change in the manner
in which the service is provided so that the service could be
provided more efficiently? ,

Re: Signalization Projects
Attached is a memorandum from the Traffic Engineer concerning
proposed signalization projects at Governor and Burlington Streets
and U.S. Highway 6 and Fairmeadows. Previous capital improvement
programs have not included funding for either project. In the weeks
immediately ahead, the City Council will receive a recommended
capital improvement program for FY83 and at that time these projects
will be reviewed by the City Council. .

MEMORANDUM
Dat'e: November 3, 1981
To: Neal Berlin, City Manager
From: James Brachtel, Traffic Enginee��
Re; Proposed Signalization Projects
This memorandum is to update the progress of two potential signalization
projects in the city. The two projects are Governor Street/Burlington
Street and U.S. Highway 6/Fairmeadows Avenue. Both intersections are
located upon primary highway extensions. Because of this bath the State
and the City have concurrent jurisdiction and Iowa DOT permission is
required.
Both projects are eligible for State participation in funding. Both
projects fall under the requirements of the State's USTEP. Under this
funding program the City would provide 50 percent of the funds and the
State would provide the balance. -
GOVERNOR STREET/BURLINGTON STREET
BACKGROUN�:
The City Council �has referred.to Public Works the investigation for
improving the visibility of the stop signs for westbound traffic on
Burlington Sbreet at this intersection. As part of the investigation, the
Traffic Engineering Division undertook traffic counts and a review of the
accident experience. Based upon the studies of the Traffic Engineering
Division it was determined that this intersection would comply with the
minimum signalization warrants as outlined in the Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Based upon these findings the staff
approached the Iowa DOT with a two-fold request. The first part of the
request requested permission to install signalization. The second part of
the request requested that the State consider this as a USTEP project.'
PRESENT STATUS:
Staff has received word from the Iowa DOT granting permission for the
installation and indicating that the State would consider this a USTEP
project. To continue with this project the City needs to complete the
plans, specifications and estimates for the project and submit them to the
Iowa DOT for their approval. Secondly, the City needs to budget for its
portion of the project costs. Traffic Engineering estimates that the cost
of the project would be $24,500. Under USTEP funding the City would be
responsible for half of this or $12,250. At the present time the Traffic
F,ngineering staff is attempting to have Iawa DOT permit the City's force
account efforts to be counted as part of its cash contribution to this
project.
\ � MICROFILMED BY
� 'JORM MICROLAB
CEDAA RAPIDS•DES 1401N[S
4"
�' _
.� _.
. •� 2
In the event that the City Council wishes to move ahead with this project,
the City will have to budget $12,250 if DOT disallows force account effort
as part of the cash contribution or, $6,850 if the State allows force
account labor as part of the City's cash match.
U.S. HIGHWAY 6/FAIRMEADOWS
BACKGROUND:
In the spring of 1981, the plant manager of Proctor and Gamble requested
that Traffic Engineering investigate the feasibility of signalization at
this intersection. 'The Traffic Engineering Division conducted counts and
an investigation of the accident experience. Based upon these studies it
was learned that the vehicular warrants are marginally met while the
accident experience does qualify the intersection for signalization based
upon the minimum warrants for signalization as established in the MUTCD.
Based upon these findings, the Traffic Engineering Division petitioned
the Iowa DOT requesting permission to signalize and consideration for
USTEP funding.
PRESENT STATUS:
The Iowa DOT has granted the City permission to install signals at this
location. It is also allowed that this project will be considered as a
USTEP project. The City is now required to develop plans, specifications
and estimates for this project and budget the City's match for this
project. It is estimated that this project will cost $30,450. The same
optians that were applicable for the Governor Street/Burlington Street
signalization projects are applicable here. The City's share will be
either $15,225 or $9,825 plus the City's force account efforts.
Both projects are warranted based upon the accident experience at the two
locations. The Traffic Engineering Division does recommend that the City
proceed with signalization at these two locations. In all likelihood, the
first opportunity for making funding available will be FY83. The Traffic
Engineering Division will continue to work with the State to bring these
projects on-line. .There will be no official commitment on the part of the
City until the City Council enters into a USTEP agreement with Iowa DDT.
These are fairly standard agreements which require a resolution of
authorization for the Mayor's signature.
I will be happy to meet with either you or the Council to discuss these
matters further.

Re: Campaign Finance Ordinance
Recently there has been publicity concerning timely filing of campaign finance
reports with the City Clerk. As the enforcement mechanism for this ordinance is
somewhat uncertain and the purpose of the ordinance was to provide public
information concerning campaign finances, it appears that the City Council
should consider adaption of a policy which would provide public notice. It is
proposed that the City C7erk provide a written report on the status of the
filing of campaign reports at the first City Council meeting after each filing
date or as soon as practical thereafter. In this manner public notice should be
sufficient to remedy any delayed filing of reports. .
There are a couple af minor administrative changes which also can be made. The
campaign financial disclosure affidavit filed by each candidate wi11 be revised
to inctude the required City fi7ings. In addition, a list of the filing dates
will accompany the ordinance which is provided to all candidates.
We will be pleased to discuss this matter at an informal session or if you have
any questions, p7ease give us a call. .

Re: Status of New Zoning Ordinance
It is my intent to periodically keep you advised of the progress on
the new zoning ordinance. The staff has now begun the preparation of
a short range comprehensive plan on which the new zoning ordinance
map will be based. Conjunctively, the staff has instigated the
development of a rental housing market analysis which will provide us
with valuable information to determine acreage needs for higher
density multi-family development.
In the preparation of the comprehensive plan we have started with an
analysis to determine the capacity of the existing infrastructure to
serve the undeveloped areas needed for population, commercial and
industrial expansion for the next 10 to 20 years. The p1An will be
completed upon an investigation and analysis of the housing market
and of residential needs by housing type.
At the same time that staff of PPD is developing the plan, the Legal
Department will be reviewing the new zoning ordinance text. •Bob
Jansen had initially indicated to the Planning and Zoning Commission
that it wi11 involve approximately 30 to 60 days of his time to
review the text. He has since indicated, however, that several
months will be required. Subsequent revisions to the text will be
made and submitted to the Commission for final review prior to
'completion of the zoning map in draft form. It is then anticipated
that at the time the Commission completes its review of the zoning
ordinance text, the comprehensive plan and zoning map will have been
completed in draft form for the Commission to review.
In all we anticipate that the time needed to complete the preparation
of the plan, zoning ordinance text and map will be approximately 5 to
6 months, but it may more directly depend on the time needed to
complete the housing market analysis. Regardless, as soon as the
plan, text and map are developed, they will be submitted to the
Planning and Zoning Commission for their review and final revisions.

Re: FY82 Funding for Snow Removal for Low-Income Elderly and
Handicapped Persons
I have been asked to make a recommendation regarding the Elderly
Services Agency's (ESA) request that the City provide funds for snow
removal services to low-income 'elderly and handicapped Iowa City
residents during the 1981-82 winter season. The ESA has estimated
the cost of this service at $2800. This assumes seven snowfalls of
more than two inches and 100 people qualifying for the service. The
funding would be used solely for payment of persons providing the
labor, at an average cost of $4.00 per job. The agency has included
funding for gasoline and operation of snow removal equipment
elsewhere in its budget.
The proposed snow removal program is essentially the same as that
provided during the 1980-81 season. The program provides shoveling
of public sidewalks'adjacent to properties of qualifying persons, as
well as shoveling of frequently used private sidewalks and
driveways. In order to determine whether someone is qualified to
receive free snow removal, guidelines established Section 31-123(A)
&(B) of the Municipal Code of the City of Iowa City are fo7lowed,
These guidelines require that:
No other able-bodied individual resides in the building in
question';
The individual must submit a written statement of
disability preventing the performance of snow removal
activities, signed by a physician;
3. The individual must submit written proof that his or her
household meets specific low-income criteria.
Last year, 75 persans were determined to be qualified to receive free
snow removal services. The ESA has estimated an increase in the
number of persons qualifying to be served, based on greater public
awareness of the availability of the service. The total cost of
labor for the program last year was $800, it being a mild winter.
Most of this was paid for with (federal) Eldercare funds channel7ed
through HACAP's regional office, with the remainder spiit between
ESA and the City of Iowa City. The Eldercare funds are not avaiiable
to ESA this year, as HACAP did not apply for them. They will
probably be available to cover part of the cost for the 1982-83
season.
/7�6
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CE�AR RAPIDS•DES MOINES
�
Labor for the snow removal program will be provided by persons
interested in doing so from a list maintained by the ESA. The Chore
Service Coordinator will provide snow removal himself only on an
emergency basis, that is, if for some reason the number of persons
available from the list did not suffice to meet demand. The funds
would not be used to pay for his services, since he is already a paid
employee of the ESA. Persons on the list are required to be
available throughout the winter season. For example, students who
will be gone during University breaks are not accepted.
In reviewing this request, I wanted to be sure that the ESA could
provide the service in a more cost-effective manner than the City
itself, which provided it prior to last year. My review of the
City's records show that this is indeed true. Two additional factors
which should be noted are that the ESA provides snow removal from
private walks and driveways, while the City program did not, and that
administration of the program fits into the existing structure of the
ESA, since it already provides chore services.
I therefore recommend that the requested amount, $2800, be set asid�
for the snow removal program and a contract agreement worked out
between the City and the ESA for provision of this program. The ESA
would be reimbursed for labor costs on a monthly basis, upon
submission of a list of those served, number of snow removal jobs
provided, and cost of labor. At the end of the 1981-82 winter
season, any balance would revert to the City. In the event that the
winter is severe, snowfall heavier than usuat, and additional funds
needed to provide the service, the situation wou7d be reassessed.
Lucy Luxenburg, ESA Uirector, has concurred that this arrangement
would be agreeable to the ESA.
It is my opinion that this program should be included in the ESA's
regular budget in the future. Lucy has agreed to this, and the
program will be included in the regular budget beginning with FY83.
I will not be available at Monday's Council meeting to discuss this,
as I will be going on vacation for two weeks. Since it may snow
before I return, I felt it important at least to provide my
assessment of the request before I left.

To A71 City Employees:
Thanks to your generosity, this year's United Way campaign at the
City again topped its goal with employee contributions of $5,759.
Contributions increased 36% over last year and a total of 417% over
the 1979 campaign.
As City employees we know that local government cannot be expected to
meet a71 the human service needs of its citizens. Federal'and State
aid cutbacks are having a severe impact on human service agencies,
who are at the same time being called upon to meet ever increasing
needs. We can be proud, that we have shown through our own example
this year, that as private citizens, we can provide a helping hand to
our neighbors in this community.
Your contributions speaks for you in demonstrating a strong
commitment to support of the United Way goals and agencies in Iowa
City/Johnsan County.
Again, thanks to all of you who helped to make this year's United Way
campaign a success.
Sincerely yours, /

McDonald also present. Staffinembers present: Berlin, Stolfus, Helling,
Boothroy, Knight, Vitosh, Jansen.
TAPE-RECORDED on Reel N81-13, Side 2, 1-1009.
APPLICATIONS TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
Oakes Meadow and Waters Subdivisions
Boothroy advised that a separate legal document providing for construction 1_120
of paving and sidewalks, and other public improvements, from Brookside Dr.
to Muscatine Ave, was needed if the preliminary Oakes Meado�� Subd. was to
be adopted by Council. Council was not in favor of waiving any sidewalk
construction. Staff will advise if document is received prior to the
formal meeting. ,
Councilmember Neuhauser arrived, 3:05 PM.
HELDLE SUBDIVISION
City Attorney Jansen called attention to his request regarding the Helble
Subdivision. Assurances wi17 be given to the owner of the property if
Council agrees. There were no objections from Council.

significance to the City, and is taking a lot of time. Jansen comnented
that he is also available to the City Manager and staff on a day-to-day
basis. The new zoning ordinance is a tandem effort with Schmeiser/Planning.
Jansen is starting the legal review of the ordinance text and probably wi11
finish in early January. He thought that the ordinance, in it's completed
� form, would be to P&Z, and hearings could be held, by early summer, so it
would be fonvarded to Council by fall. A time-table wi11 be worked out,
and status report given.

November 23, 1981
The petition from residents, on the agenda, requesting a moratoirum
on demolition and buildin9 permits in areas to be downzoned �aas dis-
cussed. The exact area is not kno�an. City Manager [ierlin summarized
Council's decision as, it will be appropriate to consider the proposal
at the time when specific recommendations go to P&Z for do�anzoning the
area. If staff has any strong feelings about whether this is the way
to follow, they are to let Council know.
CAMPAIGN FINANCE ORDINANCE CHANGES 275-460
Vevera comnente t at t e memo from the City Manager, the City Attorney,
and the City Clerk did not solve any of the problems regarding the dead-
line for reporting of contributions. If the ordinance is not enforced,
he stated, why have it? He thought the State regulations for reporting
contributions were sufficient. Neuhauser agreed. Berlin noted that the
staff had also had these questions, and thought the purpose of the
legislation was to make all contributions public> and the remedy was
unworkable, as it is absurd to have the staff have the responsibility
to enforce the ordinance. Lynch questioned the procedure needed to
amend the charter. Neuhauser asked if the Council had the po��ier to en-
force the penalty now in the Ordinance. Jansen commented that that is
a question which would arise in trying to enforce the present penalty.
She suggested publishing all contributions. Some did not tiaant the City
to pay for publishing. Several agreed on elimination of filing with
the City. The City Attorney> City Manager and City Clerk were directed
to come back with a solution regarding filing, and with a workable
penalty. Roberts voiced dissatisfaction with public access TV programs
d' the candidates. Berlin offered to go to
which were biased regar ing
the CATV Commission and ask for 9uidelines for local elections. Procedures
as used in commercial TV were suggested. Council agreed that guidelines
are needed, and the City Manager will follow up with the CATV Commission.
ORGANIZATIONAL COUNCIL MEETING
Jansen reported t at new Counci members should be sworn in before noon on
Saturday, January 2nd, 1982. The organizational meeting (on second secular
day in January) could be held on Monday, January 4th, 1982 at 11:30 P.M.
It was decided the new Councilmembers would take the oath at the Dec. 8th
meeting. There were no objections to the schedule from those present.
COUNCIL aUSINESS
Mayor Balmer commended City employees for their generous giving co
the United lJay Campaign this year, an increase of 36% over last year.
Balmer stated he was not interested in the two signalization projects
on Governor and Burlington Sts. as outlined in the memo. They will
be discussed at the Capital Improvements Program meeting. Neuhauser
advised she would not be present for the Nov. 30th meeting and the
discussion of the CIP.
460-570
3. The Mayor suggested that the Assistant City Manager set up a meeting
of the Council Legislative Committee with the area Legislators in
December, and prepare an agenda of discussion items.
AGENDA
1. Vevera advised he would be voting 'no' on the Resolution re CDDG
program statement, Itein 15, because of the amount for Public Housing.
2, Balmer commented that he did not favor flag poles for City Plaza.
Derlin will check the status of the contract. No one favored spending
City money on them.

the
answer-
4. 6almer pointed out that the minutes of the Housing Appeals Board
showed that variances granted show the Housin9 Code as being very
flexible, exhibiting some use of common sense, the intention of
the Council.
DUDGET FY'83
Councilmembers-elect McDonald and Dickson were asked to participate in
the preliminary discussion of the FY'83 Budget. Berlin asked for
direction for the Staff in certain areas as noted in his memo, with
the understanding that this will not be a final commitment.
Vitosh commented that essuming the City maintains the current level of
services, she has estimated that we are short 3600,000 in revenue.
$250,000 of expenditures have already been reduced from department
budget requests. This assumes a 12% reduction in revenue sharing,
and that o-ie get the same amount of federal aid for transit for operating
expense as we did this fiscal year. Lynch asked consideration that
the first priority be to maintain the status quo, that staff recommend
where to come up with the 5600,000, and that expanded services be a
secondary consideration.
Berlin commented that revenue sources available are the same as for
previous years, and for a sufficient block of money, the following
sources could be discussed: the transfer of certain insurance costs from
the General Fund to Trust and Agency; the transit levy; the property tax;
increase in refuse collection fee, or transit fares. Neuhauser called
attention to McDonald's suggestion for a policy on the relation between
the transit fares and the amount of subsidy the City puts in, and also
a policy regarding garbage collection fees. Berlin offered to provide
information regarding statistics on what is common among communities
who provide these kinds of services. Vitosh added that she would provide
information on what the City has funded in the past and can provide infor-
mation on how much money certain alternatives would raise. Several
Councilmembers favored consideration of a transit policy as suggested
by McDonald.
To maintain flexibility in collective bargaining, the issue of fire-
fighters doing housing inspections was not discussed. Revenue sharing
expected to be received in FY83 amounts to $593,000. Mayor Dalmer
stated that the Council Legislative Committee will discuss passage of
a local option tax with the area legislators, and sug9ested securing
the aid of the Chamber of Commerce to work on it with the City, and
to pursue with the Coralville Council the proposal to put the hotel-
motel tax question on the ballot. Neuhauser proposed that if a local
option tax is put on the ballot, that Council give a commitment for
funding a certain purpose with the revenue. Others agreed. Everyone,
including the Councilmembers-elect, agreed to not chart new areas until
current services are provided for.
City Manager Derlin pointed out one new area where expansion of services
will need to be discussed, the use of franchise fees from CATV. All
agreed that the first priority was for the general fund to be reimbursed,
and to maintain the current level of service now provided by the CATV
Specialist and the Library.

ce Chief Miller wt11 be explaining his request for additional
police officers, Vitosh stated that the final ending balance for
FY'82 wi11 be $600,000� although $700,000 is more appropriate figure
to carry over. For FY 81 the ending balance was 5600,000. The
additional property tax revenue that wi11 be received from downtown
renewal wi11 be approximately $500,000 when it all tax is finally added to
the tax base. The revenue figures she has used for these calculations
include the increased assessed valuations added so far.
Al1 agreed to put in a percentage increase for Human Services Agencies in
the proposed budget, as has been done in the past. Adjusting can be
done later. There will be two new requests, MECCA and the Lakeside
Neighborhood Center. Vitosh advised that all profits from permits
for Sunday sales of liquor and beer go to Johnson County for alcohol
programs. Figures showing Iowa City's contributions wi11 be provided.
Berlin noted the revised budget discussion calendar provided.

DO N0T SEND CASH
-Please pay by check or money order so you have a written record of
your contribution for tax deduction purposes, if appropriate.
-Systems Unlimited, Inc., is a private non-profit corporation and
enjoys tax exemption status under IRS regulations. Charitable
contributians to the "Group Home Fund" will be used esclusively
for charitable purposes and thus are deductible as charitable
contributions.
If you wish to make a pledge now and pay in installments over the
next three years, this is perfectly acceptable.
Your contribution will be deposited in a separate account for the
Croup Home Fund. As some of you may know, some immediate costs for
land and site-improvements were paid with borrowed money. In order
to reduce this debt as quickly as possible and thereby reduce interest,
your contributions will be applied against the balance of the two
notes of approximately $66,482.

SYSTEM1IS UNLIMITED, INC., is a non-

���''�"'j provide services for developmentally

"Developmentally Disabled persons"
includes varying deqrees of inental
" ww retardation and physical disabilities.
SYSTE[d'S goal is to provide a nornal
'home away from hoc�e' which best
encourages physical, social and mental
growth.
Legal and social pressures continue
to return mentally retarded and
�disabled persons to their communities.
Iowa has been a leader in the movement
away from warehousing the mentally
retarded in larye institutions.
YJ"•"''U'� °°`''°°"`� Ir""'"'""�Jlh'''� We know that placenent in smaller
�O4mQmIPWOba�fID�m7lIPE�'eP community-based facilities such as
���=� SYSTE:dS UNLI[9ITED, INC., is not only
better.iri terms of training, nurturing and education but is less costly.
The goal for SYSTEMS residents is a normal family life within the SYSTEMS home.
From five to six residents share a parent couple who serve as counselors and parents
in,each�homes. Residents are grouped by age, physical capabilities and functional
ability.
Some adult residents of SYSTEMS UNLIMITED, INC., live in apartments where they
are supervised by adult counselors. The adult apartments are the least restrictive
living environments developed, with a ninimum of supervision. The adults work at
a sheltered workshop or in the community. The different environments for living
allow for all persons to be served by SYSTEMS UNLIMITED, INC., according to their
individual needs. A major portion of the task in the group homes is preparing the
residents for the least restrictive living environment relative to their capabilities.
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (H.U.D.) has re-
cognized the need for group homes in the Iowa City, Coralville, Washington, and .
Williamsburg, and has approved a 51,808,900 loan to cover the cost of eight group
homes. Since negotiations first began, however, certain costs wexe either not allowed
at all by H.U.D. or allowed only partially. Thus, the Parent/Guardien Comnittee
to Assist the Group Nome Fund was formed to raise money to cover a deficit of
approximately $100,000.
We could not stand by and lose a nearly $2 million loan with so much at stake.
The federal government has done ite share. Now we need to ask tho communities Co
help!

INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION
NOVEMBER 23, 1981
INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION: November 23, 1981, 3:00 P.M. in the Conference
Room at the Civic Center. Mayor John Balmer presiding.
COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT: Balmer, Perret, Roberts, Vevera, Lynch 3:15 P.M.,
Neuhauser 3:05 P.M. Absent: Erdahl. Councilmembers-elect Dickson and
McDonald also present. Staffinembers present: Berlin, Stolfus, Helling,
Boothroy, Knight, Vitosh, Jansen.
TAPE-RECORDED on Reel #81-13, Side 2, 1-1009.
APPLICATIONS TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
Oakes Meadow and Waters Subdivisions
eoothroy advised that a separate legal document providing for construction
��f paving and sidewalks, and other public improvements, from Brookside Dr.
to :U�scatine Ave. was needed if the preliminary Oakes Meadow Subd. was to
be adopted by Council. Council was not in favor of waiving any sidewalk
construction. Staff will advise if document is received prior to the
formal meeting.
Councilmember Neuhauser arrived, 3:05 PM.
HELBLE SUBDIVISION
City Attorney Jansen called attention to his request regarding the Helble
Subdivision. Assurances will be given to the owner of the property if
Council agrees. There were no objections from Council.
Councilmember-Elect Dickson present, 3:10 P.M.
CITY ATTY. JANSEN PROGRESS REPORT
Jansen stated that since July lst, he had been getting acclimated and
oriented to the ways in which the City works. In the specific area of
litigation, the McLaughlin case had been settled by agreeing to an amend-
ment to the Environmental Impact Statement; the Midwest Contractor/Mall
case had also been settled. Three new cases have been filed. Old pending
cases, Bjornsen Development (sewer capacity at lift station near Procter
and Gamble) and some urban renewal condemations will be disposed of or
dismissed in Court. There are severe abstracting problems with the land
bought from Rock Island Railroad, which is to be used for a parking lot.
He reported on staff relationships, proposed revisions for the Administra-
tive Code. These revisions will give some rule-making powers to some
Boards and Comnissions and will take away some of the discretion of Council.
Councilman Lynch arrived, 3:15 P.M.
Regarding land acquisition, he advised that Council is familiar with this
area, and everything is on course. The Sheller-Globe case is of great
significance to the City, and is taking a lot of time. Jansen commented
that he is also available to the City Manager and staff on a day-to-day
basis. The new zoning ordinance is a tandem effort with Schmeiser/Planning.
Jansen is starting the legal review of the ordinance text and probably will
finish in early January. He thought that the ordinance, in it's completed
form, would be to P&Z, and hearings could be held, by early summer, so it
would be forwarded to Council by fall. A time-table will be worked out,
and status report given.

Informal Council
November 23, 1981
The petition from residents, on the agenda, requesting a'moratoirum
on demolition and building permits in areas to be downzoned was dis-
cussed. The exact area is not known. City Manager Berlin sumnarized
Council's decision as, it will be appropriate to consider the proposal
at the time when specific recomnendations go to P&Z for downzoning the
area. If staff has any strong feelings about whether this is the way
to follow, they are to let Council know.
CAMPAIGN FINANCE ORDINANCE CHANGES 275-460
Vevera comnente t at t e memo from the City Manager, the City Attorney,
and the City Clerk did not solve any of the problems regarding the dead-
line for reporting of contributions. If the ordinance is not enforced,
he stated, why have it? He thought the State regulations for reporting
contributions were sufficient. Neuhauser agreed. Berlin noted that the
staff had also had these questions, and thought the purpose of the
legislation was to make all contributions public, and the remedy was
unworkable, as it is absurd to have the staff have the responsibility
to enforce the ordinance. Lynch questioned the procedure needed to
amend the charter. Neuhauser asked if the Council had the power to en-
force the penalty now in the Ordinance. Jansen comnented that that is
a question which would arise in trying to enforce the present penalty.
She suggested publishing all contributions. Some did not want the City
to pay for publishing. Several agreed on elimination of fiting with
the City. The City Attorney, City Manager and City Clerk were directed
to come back with a solution regarding filing, and with a workable
penalty. Roberts voiced dissatisfaction with public access TV programs
which were biased regarding the candidates. Berlin offered to go to
the CATV Commission and ask for guidelines for local elections. Procedures
as used in commercial TV were suggested. Council agreed that guidelines
are needed, and the City Manager will follow up with the CATV Comnission.
ORGANIZATIONAL COUNCIL MEETING
Jansen reporte that new Counci members should be sworn in before noon on
Saturday, January 2nd, 1982. The organizational meeting (on second secular
day in January) could be held on Monday, January 4th, 1982 at 11:30 P.M.
It was decided the new Councilmembers would take the oath at the Dec. Sth
meeting. There were no objections to the schedule from those present.
COUNCIL BUSINESS
l. Mayor Balmer commended City employees for their generous giving to
the United Way Campaign this year, an increase of 36% over last year.
2. Balmer stated he was not interested in the two signalization projects
on Governor and Burlington Sts. as outlined in the memo. They will
be discussed at the Capital Improvements Program meeting. Neuhauser
advised she would not be present for the Nov. 30th meeting and the
discussion of the CIP.
3. The Mayor suggested that the Assistant City Manager set up a meeting
of the Council Legislative Committee with the area Legislators in
December, and prepare an agenda of discussion items.
AGENDA
1. Vevera advised he would be voting 'no' on the Resolution re CDBG
program statement, Item 15, because of the amount for Public Housing.
Balmer commented that he did not favor flag poles for City Plaza.
Berlin will check the status of the contract. No one favored spending
City money on them.

4. Balmer pointed out that the minutes of the Housing Appeals Board
showed that variances granted show the Housing Code as being very
flexible, exhibiting some use of comnon sense, the intention of
the Council.
BUDG"eT FY'83
Councilmembers-elect McDonald and Dickson were asked to participate in
the preliminary discussion of the FY'83 Budget. Berlin asked for
direction for the Staff in certain areas as noted in his memo, with
the understanding that this will not be a final comnitment.
620-1009
Vitosh commented that essuming the City maintains the current level of
services> she has estimated that we are short y600,000 in revenue.
$250,000 of expenditures have already been reduced from department
budget requests. This assumes a 12% reduction in revenue sharing,
and that we get the same amount of federal aid for transit for operating
expense as we did this fiscal year. Lynch asked consideration that
the first priority be to maintain the status quo, that staff recommend
where to come up with the 5600,000, and that expanded services be a
secondary consideration.
Berlin commented that revenue sources available are the same as for
previous years, and for a sufficient block of money, the following
sources could be discussed: the transfer of certain insurance costs from
the General Fund to Trust and Agency; the transit levy; the property tax;
increase in refuse collection fee, or transit fares. Neuhauser called
attention to McDonald's suggestion for a policy on the relation between
the transit fares and the amount of subsidy the City puts in, and also
a policy regarding garbage collection fees. Berlin offered to provide
information regarding statistics on what is common among communities
who provide these kinds of services. Vitosh added that she would provide
information on what the City has funded in the past and can provide infor-
mation on how much money certain alternatives would raise. Several
Councilmembers favored consideration of a transit policy as suggested
by McDonald.
To maintain flexibility in collective bargaining, the issue of fire-
fighters doing housing inspections was not discussed. Revenue sharing
expected to be received in FY83 amounts to $593,000. Mayor Balmer
stated that the Council Legislative Committee will discuss passage of
a local option tax with the area legislators, and suggested securing
the aid of the ChambeP of Commerce to work on it with the City, and
to pursue with the Coralville Council the proposal to put the hotel-
motel tax question on the ballot. Neuhauser proposed that if a local
option tax is put on the ballot, that Council give a commitment for
funding a certain purpose with the revenue. Others agreed. Everyone,
including the Councilmembers-elect, agreed to not chart new areas until
current services are provided for.
City Manager Berlin pointed out one new area where expansion of services
will need to be discussed, the use of franchise fees from CATV. All
agreed that the first priority was for the general fund to be reimbursed,
and to maintain the current level of service now provided by the CATV
Specialist and the Library.

Police Chief Miller will be explaining his request for additional
police officers. Uitosh stated tfiat the final ending baTance for
FY'82 will be $600,000, although $700,000 is more appropriate figure
to carry over. For FY'81 the ending balance was 5600,000. The
additional property tax revenue that will be received from downtown
renewal will be approximately 5500,000 when it all tax is finally added to
the tax base. The revenue figures she has used for these calculations
include the increased assessed valuations added so far.
All agreed to put in a percentage increase for Human Services Agencies in
the proposed budget, as has been done in the past. Adjusting can be
done later. There will be two new requests, MECCA and the Lakeside
Neighborhood Center. Vitosh advised that all profits from permits
for Sunday sales of liquor and beer go to Johnson County for alcohol
programs. Figures showing Iowa City's contributions will be provided.
Berlin noted the revised budget discussion calendar provided.

Ra7ston Creek North Branch Detention Basin:
Hencin gave the report in Oodge's absence. Hencin reported that the North
Branch Dam wi11 cost about $1.5-$1.6 million, including land acquisition,
construction and extension of the First Avenue Bridge. 7he City has so far
purchased 43.7 acres of land which would be part of the flowage area for the �am
for approximately $2g4,000 and is presently negotiating with Regina High School
for 44 acres of land. Construction is slated to begin in the spring of 1982 with
bids being let in December 1981 or January 1982.

that beavers have moved into the project area.

Uepartment.
Independent Livinq Proiect: (See attached report)
McGee reported that Independent Living is fulfilling a community need and is
working hard to establish stability while responding to client needs and is
being successful.
McGee stated that Independent Living was requesting City funds for permanent
physical facilities. Becker questioned the need to purchase permanent housing
for the group when it was duplicating services already in existence that were
being provided by longer standing, more accountable programs. McGee stated that
a house was needed to teach classes, in particular, cooking. The members
debated the issue of providing permanent housing for Independent Living. Daly
wondered at the feasibility of locating the project on the second floor of the
Senior Center.

Hencin outlined the reasons for needing to review the recommended 1982 budget
and stated that the application for the 1982 Metro Entitlement CDBG Program must
be submitted by December 1, 1981. Hencin said that the CCN could make a new
recommendation to City Council or submit the application as currently written
and change it at a later date. Changes in the budget are due to Federal budget
cuts and revised estimated costs for Ralston Creek improvements.
After some discussion of possible revisions to the budget which might include
congregate housing, rental rehabilitation and public housing, VanderZee moved
that the CCN submit Revision A as the budget for the 1982 Metro Entitlement CDBG

areas in which seif-help projects might prove effective.

Report to the CCN on the Current Statue
of Independent Living
As Independent Living concludes its second year, the progress the organization has
made ie marked by on-going effort�o become established in the coummnity. The
past year has been spent finding swera to the concerna of funding and permanency
voiced not only by CCN but by conaerned citizens as well.
Currently, Independent Living's primary source of funding is a$20,000.00 one year
grant from the Bureau of Developmental Disabilities. This exceeds last year's
funding. Recognizing the te�us nature of grant monies, Independent Living mem-
bers have sought other funding sources. These include a renewed application to
United Way, other government agencies, membership dues aad sma11 fundraisers.
The grant money funds part-time s[aff, pays the rent fot the Independent Living
Center and covers a portion of the operating costs. Independent Living pays a
match to DD. There remains no pexmanent co�i.ttment of any single group to
fund the org�nization. It is the opinion of Independent Living staff that several
sources of funding will cover the ozganization's expensea throughout the year.
It is assumed that the DD grant as well as the CDBG funds will serve as building
blocks for the organization. The operating costs for the organization should di-
minish vith a permanent center and as programs become well-established. The re-
quest for city funds is for physical facilities alone riot for operating costs.
The program costs are either donated by interested citizens or paid for directly
by clients. Current programs include classes on Cansumer Economics, Surviv qS w j�� F�
Skills, Horticulture, Basic Reading/Math, Cooking, Self-Esteem an� Oo�4c�v�gy.
personal advocacy servlce, support and a Food Closet for members needing short-
term assistance.
The advocacy service has been formalized throug� the development of contraces and
evaluatio¢ procedures wtiich serve as an on-going check an the effectiveness of the
program. The support program includea all members of tfie organization by involving
them in regulaz meetings and classes which bring memliers together in both formal
and informal settings. The classes taught respond to the needs of 'the clients.
They provide clients another means for becoming more independent individuals.
Overall, the two years Independent Living has existed have been productive and ef-
fective. Although the population served is limited, the thi�'y plus active members
of Independent Living have found it a means to leading more normal and productive
lives. As time has demonstrated, independen[ living is not the answer for all
people. It is, however, an answer which can be useful for some people who were
once told it was impossible.
The involvement of inembers and volunteers indicates that Independent Living is
an organization Which can withstand changes in personnel and membership. The com-
mittment to see the organization aucceed is sfiared by a pool of individuals who
will work to keep the organization fiealthy. Independent Living is succeeding
in fulfilling a co�unity need. It is my opinion that the organization is
working hard to establiah stability while responding to client needs and it
is being succeseful.

There was no public discussion of this item.
Jakobsen explained that this item had been on the agenda for two meetings
and had been discussed at the informal session. Boothray stat?d that no
additional comments regarding this item had been received fram the Airport
Commission.
Boothroy displayed the map depicting the airport overlay zones. Boothroy
stated that the City Council might forward comments to the Johnson County
Board of Supervisors concerning this item as it would only be adopted for
the area within the city limits. Boothroy expressed the hope that the
Johnson County Board of Supervisors incorporate the airport overlay
zones sometime in the future.
Jakobsen asked if the map had to be adopted. Boothroy replied that both
the map and the ordinance should be adopted.
Phelan questioned the intent of Section 8.10.50.4C. Boothroy explained
that the ordinance was basically dictated by the Aeronautics Division of
the Iowa Oepartment of Transportation and although Section 8.10.50.5
listed a special exception, the City had little flexibility in drafting
the ardinance.
Jakobsen called for approval of the airport overlay zones as presented for
the area within the Iowa City limits and the map as presented. The item
was approved unanimously.
SUBDIVISION ITEMS:
5-8119. Public discu65ion of an application submitted by Levy, Malone &
Company for approval of the Amended Preliminary and Final LSRO plan of
Cedarwood Apartments located at 2000 Broadway Street; 45-day limitation
period: 12/18/81, 60-day limitation period: 1/3/82.
There was no public discussion.
Jakobsen stated that the staff report listed several deficiencies. Knight
stated that the applicant was working to correct these deficiencies but no
new set of plans had been submitted. Boothroy stated that the applicant
had contacted the staff by phone and had stated that a11 the deficiencies
had been corrected except one, that of complying with the Tree Ordinance.
Boothroy suggested that since most of the deficiencies were minor, the
Commission could approve subject to correction of the deficiencies or
defer the item until the next meeting.
The general consensus was to defer this item.
REVISION OF SUBDIVISION CODE. Public discussion of a proposed ordinance
revising the Subdivision Code to require the submission of a plat
involving the division of a lot into two parcels (ordinance and memo sent
to Planning and Zoning - September 14, 1981).

regular meeting.
OTHER BUSINE55:
PLANNING & ZONING REVIEW: Application fees (see attached memo):
Jakobsen stated that while an increase in fees is needed, the Planning and
Zoning Commission is not willing to recommend any particular amount.
Boothroy stated that it would be helpful if the Commission expressed
agreement with the memo and said that the staff would proposed some fees
as a staff recommendation to the City Council.
Seward moved that the memo from Karin Franklin be forwarded to the City
Council as the Planning & Zoning Cammission's recommendation for the fee
structure. Phelan seconded. The motion carried unanimously.

The minutes were approved as amended.
Sokol asked if a discussion of the walking tour was warranted. Boutelle
suggested that such discussion be postponed until Knight could show slides
taken on the tour.
REVIEW PROGRAM DI4ISION STATEMENT FOR COMMISSION:
Sokol stated that the performance measurements seemed tough and suggested
including the amount of publicity Johnson gets in newspapers as a perfor-
mance measurement. Franklin stated that the objectives could include a
public awareness program. The members discussed ways in which to heighten
the public's awareness of the Iawa River. Included in the division
statement, under division objectives, was:
4. Further public awareness of the Iowa River and its environs.
One suggested means of carrying out this objection was to prepare a slide
show depicting problem areas of the River and ways in which it has been
beautified.
The division statement was adopted by general consensus.
DISCUSS STRATEGY FOR BUFFER AND TRAIL SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION:
The members reviewed Franklin's staff report from July 15, 1981.
Lewis stated that emphasis should be made on obtaining conservation
easements along the river and suggested adopting the recommendation of the
staff report. Sokol stated that a standard form of easement should be
drawn up with which to approach people.
The members discussed ways in which to approach property owners for
conservation easements. Franklin stated that a sample conservation
easement could be drawn up to show property owners. Lewis suggested that
the area between the Burlington Street Dam and the Highway 6 Dam would be
a good place to start. Lewis said that a good example of what the
Commission would like to achieve could be found on the west side of the
river near the Benton Street Bridge. Lewis emphasized conservation
easements will be requested to prevent dumping and to preserve
vegetation -- not for public access.
Lewis expressed concern over the growing erosion prablem along Rocky Shore
Drive. Lewis stated that this might be an opportune time to da something
while the arena's access road was being built.
The members discussed the hazards of the area. Lewis wondered if a permit
for rip-rapping could be pursued. Boutelle stated that IDOT was in charge
of the project and any material for rip-rapping would have to come from
them. Boutelle said that bids would be let in February 1982, with
summertime construction and a fall 1982 targeted completion date.

Boutelle asked if anything was planned for Rocky Shore Drive in the
Capital Improvements Program. Franklin stated that she didn't think
anything was planned. Sokol wondered if the permit suggestion could be
pursued. Franklin stated that a permit from the Iowa Natural Resources
Council is requested in conjunction with specific projects and that it may
be hard to obtain a permit for the general purposes mentioned.
Lewis wandered if there was any possibility of seeking funds or
coordinating funding efforts by approaching alumni or Bikers of Iowa City
in an effort to improve Rocky Shore Drive.
Sokal suggested that the proposed adoption of the staff report as the plan
af the Commission be placed on next month's agenda. Franklin stated that
an INRC permit might be possible if the area were defined, such as that
near Ui17 Street, and said she would look into that. Sokol asked Franklin
to investigate what could be done about erosion control along Rocky Shore
Urive.
�ETERMINE APPROACH TO BE USED FOR EROSION CONTROL BOOKLET:
Franklin mentioned that a draft of the erosion control booklet could be
available in January and asked what approach the Commission would like to
take. Boutelle suggested making the tone of the booklet advisory and
educational.
EVALUATE POSITION ON BOAT RAMP ABOVE BURLINGTON STREET �AM:
The members discussed the staff report of November 4. Boutelle wondered
at the value a public access ramp would have in launching a rescue boat;
she stated that it would seem that launching a rescue boat near the scene
of an accident would be faster. Franklin explained the difficulties
involved in launching the 18 foot rescue boat.
Jahnson supported the suggestion in the staff report which stated that the
"Riverfront Commission...expiore the possibility of the City acquiring a
manageable rescue craft which could be housed at City Park and manned by
Fire ar Police personnel in response to a call."
Franklin stated that Chief Keating had said this was a possibility for
resuce efforts but he wondered if the expense would be worth the use it
would get in City Park.
Boutelle referred to a July 4 incident in which a boat launching backed up
traffic so much that it was virtually impossible to travel through the
park. Boultelle expressed alarm at the increase in the number of boats
which would be launched if a ramp were placed in City Park.
The members discussed alternative ways rescue efforts could be carried
out. Franklin mentioned the possibility existed that putting in a boat
ramp would increase traffic on the river and could increase the chances of
an accident.

Boutelle wondered if the cost involved in building an unrestricted use
ramp with ICC money was more than if the City built a restricted emergency
access ramp.
The members discussed whether or not they could make a decision based on
the information available thus far. The members discussed possible
locations for the ramp should a decision be made to install one.
Boutelle stated that if the Fire Department really needed a ramp then they
would have asked for one. Sokol said that if the Riverfront Commission
did nothing, the Fire Department would continue to use the existing ramp
and the bike path nearby would be torn up. Johnson asked if the
Commission could recommend that if the Fire Department and Sheriff felt a
ramp was needed, they could go to the C9ty Council• the iseue rof�thedboat
members that the Fire Department didn t bring �P �ohnson then suggested
ramp; the Chief was invited to the last meeting.
that the issue should be tabled and that the staff recommendation should
be accepted. Sokol stated that he would rather take no action than
recommend that someone else take action on the issue. Boutelle stated
that the members could express a preference for ane of the three
alternatives recommended in the staff report: 1) no ramp, 2) restricted
access ramp, or 3) unrestricted access ramp. �
I
Oehmke asked if a restricted ramp was installed, for whom it would be ;
restricted. Boutelle said perhaps it could be restricted for emergency i
use anly or paid shart-term permit could be instituted. Shaffer asked how
it would be controlled. Boutelle said there could be gate access
depending on the location of the ramp.
Sakoi wondered if Mr. Showalter, Director of Parks and Recreation, would
be interested in being in charge of a restricted access ramp. Franklin
stated that Mr. Showalter had expressed a preference for a restricted
access ramp if a ramp had to be built at all. 1
The members discussed ways in which the resuce boat might be launched '
without a ramp.
Oehmke pointed out that the issue of installing a boat ramp originally
came up for the purposes of recreation and now the emphasis seemed to be
rescue.
Shaffer stated that the Commission needed to talk with the Fire Oepartment
and the Sheriff's Department to find out how badly a ramp was needed.
Boutelle stated that the issue before the Commission was whether or not
they wished to put this boat ramp issue before the City Council as a
fundable item.
Shaffer said two issues were involved - that of a public use and of an
emergency use.

Oehmke stated that even if a decision was made not to build a new boat
ramp, something should be done to solve the problem of launching at the
old ramp to protect the biice path.
Lewis moved that the Riverfront Commission table any decisions regarding
the boat ramp at this time. Oehmke seconded. The motion carried
unanimously.
Franklin asked if the Commission wanted more information. Sokol said that
it could be pastponed for 30 days and then they would see.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF ELECTION OF CNAIR FOR 1982:
Franklin reported that there was nothing in the bylaws to restrict who the
chair was but reminded the members that the Commission was the Iowa City
Riverfront Commission and that they advise the Iowa City Council most of
the time.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
Franklin stated that next month's agenda would include a report on the
progress of the Braverman tract, a draft of an ordinance concerning
enforcement on the river, and stated that Tim Dorr, ICC and Harvey Miller,
Iowa City Police Chief could be invited to the next meeting.
Kay Gillies, Project GREEN, expressed an interest in seeing that erosion
problems along Rocky Shore Drive were solved.
The next meeting will be December 2, 7981.

MEMBERS ABSENT: Haupert, Alexander
STAFF PRESENT: Hauer, Franklin, 8ehrman
RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL:
1. The Design Review Committee has reviewed the proposed landscaping
and design plans for the Ralston Creek Apartments, Ltd. and offers
the following suggestions:
a. Cocoa brown classic be used as the color for the bricks.
b. The color of the apartment railing should be the same color as
the trim.
c. River birch, aspen and soft maple trees be planted along the
creek rather than the proposed pear and flowering crab trees.
d. Along the street, continuity in tree choice be sought.
e. In place of low spreading pines, yews should be used on the
north exposure of the development.
f. Tree placement be offset along the parking lot edge so as to
lo�k less regimented.
g. Any uprooting of trees should be done at the owner's expense,
and Project Green should assist in the replanting of those trees
at some other location on the development.
h. More spreading trees should be planted in the parking 7ots to
provide more shade.
2. The �esign Review Commitee is unable to comment on the proposed
signage and lighting plans as none were submitted for review.
Questions regarding specific items could not be answered because the
developer or a representative was not present.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
Seiberling called the meeting to order. The minutes of November 18, 1981,
were amended as follows:
Wockenfuss should be added to "MEMBERS ABSENT."
Sinek moved and Wegman seconded that the minutes be approved as amended.
The motion carried unanimously.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
The new minute procedure of submitting unapproved minutes to City Council
was discussed. Lafore suggested that the first page should have the
notation: "Preliminary Minutes -- not yet approved by Design Review
Committee."
Hauer announced that the City Council had decided not to pursue the
installation of flag poles in City Plaza. Eckholt asked what would be
done about the bolts in the sidewalk which, although currently covered by
planters, represented a safety hazard. Staff said it would investigate.
Hauer reported that three of five blacks of utility undergrounding had
been done. The members applauded this advancement.
Hauer announced that Marcia Roggow, of Thomas & Roggow Real Estate, will
be applying for a variance to parking regulations at the December 9 Board
af Adjustment hearing. Hauer also announced that Jim Clark, the developer
for Ra7ston Creek Village Apartments, would be applying for a special use
permit at the same hearing.
REVIEW OF RALSTON CREEK VILLAGE APARTMENTS LTD. -- LANDSCAPING AND DESIGN PLANS:
Hauer stated that the reason the Design Review Committee was reviewing the
plans for landscaping and design was that Ralston Creek Vi77age Apartments
Ltd. had applied for industrial revenue bonds. Hauer stated that both Jim
Clark, the developer, and his attorney, Joseph Holland, had received
letters asking them to attend this meeting. Holland had been called at
the start of the meeting. Hauer stated that no plans for lighting or
signage had as yet been submitted for review.
Summerwill asked if the proposed complex was low income housing. Nauer
said that some of it was.
Franklin stated that the staff had suggested to Holland that his client
consider the use of grass pavers in the parking area. The members
discussed ways this could be done.
The members reviewed the document submitted by Clark entitled "Ralston
Creek Viltage Apartments", as well as site plans and elevation designs.
Hauer stated that the major change between these plans and one submitted
previously was that 12 fewer apartments woutd be built.

Hauer displayed two brick samples - cocoa brown classic and oxford iron
spot - for the Committee's preference. Cocoa brown classic was favored by
general consensus. Hauer also displayed samples of asphalt tile roofing,
trim, carpet samples and a booklet describing the types of windows to be
installed. Hauer stated that Clark had planned to submit a picture of the
lighting standards for the parking lot and the proposed signage to warn
tenants of the potential flood problem in the parking area.
Seiberling and Sinek expressed their preferences for landscaping the
area. Sinek suggested that river birch, aspen and soft maple trees were
better suited for creekside planting than pear and crabapple trees. Sinek
also suggested that, although the trees far the street were acceptable,
conformity of three type might be better than the proposed variety.
Seiberling expressed concern over the removal of existing vegetation to
make way far parking spaces. She suggested that the trees be removed at
the developer's expense and that Project Green be asked to assist with
replanting and monitoring of those trees.
Seiberling suggested yews were better suited to the north exposure of the
complex than pines. Sinek agreed, stating that swamp oak would be even
better. Seiberling suggested instead of the regimentation of trees along
the creek that the trees shou7d be offset more.
Hauer stated the owner's suggestion for painting the railings in the
complex brown or black. The members suggested that the railings be
painted the same color as the trim.
Summerwill expressed concern over approving the design without plans for
signage or lighting having been submitted.
Sinek wondered if anything was planned for this area in terms of the Lower
Ralston Creek project and was told no. Franklin stated that, using data
supplied by Shive-Hattery, it had been determined that the proposed
detention basins on the upper portions of the creek will have no real
impact on this area.
Summerwill asked if the City Council had expressed support for this
project. Hauer answered that they were in favor of a housing project, but
some seemed to have reservations about the fact that it was in a flood
prone area.
Seiberling asked about sewer problems. Hauer explainr.d the potential
problems for the city if repairs were necessary.
Seiberling asked when construction was slated to begin. Hauer wasn't
sure.
Summerwill asked that any recommendation to Council emphasized the fact
that no lighting or signage pians were received.

Lafore commented on the November 18 meeting and expressed his admiration
for the high caliber of the task force members. He reported that a draft

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
Hillstrom called the meeting to order and introduced the members.
The Near North Side Studv and Historic Structures Inventorv
Hillstrom outlined events leading up to the appointment of the members of
the Historic Preservation Task force. Hillstrom stated that potential
activities of a City Historic Preservation Commission could include: 1)
regulation of demolitions and other destructive changes to historic
properties; 2) raise funds for restoration and rehabilitation of historic
structures; 3) conduct surveys to designate City and National Register
Historic Districts; 4) wark with City ta restore (repair) existing brick
streets; 5) publicize historic preservation activities.
Hillstrom outlined the options available to the task force with regard to
the draft ordinance. The task force could either: 1) reject ordinance;
2) revise ordinance, send to Council; 3) revise ordinance; map out
boundaries of historic districts, send to Council; 4) accept ordinance as
is; 5) other. Hillstrom stressed that it was up to the task force to
decide what to do with the draft historic preservation ordinance.
Uraft Historic Preservation Ordinance Reports
Prior to the task force meeting, each member had been assigned a section
of the draft historic preservatian ordinance to review and comment on.
Bonney reported on state enabling legislation allowing cities to
establish historic districts. Bonney made the following suggestions:
Section 1- should be made as specific as possible. Under Section 2,
Bonney suggested that "historic significance" should be defined. Under
Section 2, C2 - the statement is nebulous and should be clarified as
should Section 2D. Under Section 2D4 - needs additional definitions -
Bonney wondered whether building improvements would be included in this

section. Bonney also suggested using the word "structure" instead of
property.
Kolp reported on the composition and rules of the Commission (Sections 3
and 4). He suggested the following changes:
1. Under Section 3B - reword as found in state enabling legislation - at
least one member from each historic district. Horton asked what
would happen if there eight historic districts. Kolp suggested that
j the wording "at least one representative from each district plus a
certain number of inembers at-large be included in the ordinance.
Z. Under Section 36 - Kolp suggested that "each of the members should
possess some expertise..." needed rewording. Kolp said there were no
' problems with Section 4.
� Hillstrom asked what the members thought of the num6er of people to serve
� on the Commission. Kolp said seven was not a bad number, but the number of
members might be decided in accordance with the number of historic
districts. Lafore suggested the wording "in addition, each historic
district sha11 have representatives.,.", McCormick stated that each
contiguousm�9t e nreprese tativeefrom none� mighti betfamil�iar �with Wthe
adjoining district.
Graf reported on Section 5. Under Section 5B - Graf suggested having oniy
one public hearing instead of the proposed two. The hearing should be
he7d by the City Council and the Commission's hearing should be omitted.
The members discussed this suggestion. Under Section 5A - Hillstrom
suggested that the definition of historic districts could be based on
National Register or City definitions.
Graf stated that it would be the duty of the Commission to review p7ans
for material changes of structures. Only construction which would alter
the exterior appearance of a structure would be reviewed by an historic
preservation commission.
Under Section SG - The members discussed problems with the words "..the
Commission shall pass only on such features of a change as are visibie
from the public way.'�I McCormick suggested using the word "exterior"
rather than "public way .
Nowysz reported that conflicts might exist between the draft ordinance and
the housing code. Nowysz pointed out that housing code requirements for
handrails might not be in keeping with the historic appearance of many
structures. Hi7lstrom suggested that some wording to exempt certain
changes could be added.

The members discussed ways in which to encourage people to put up railings
that conform to the structure. McCormick suggested that an historic
preservation commission could print booklets containing the names and
addresses of resource people who could advise builders and property owners
on such matters. All agreed.
Under Section SF - Nowysz questioned the meaning of the term "material
change". The members discussed whether they needed to be concerned with
the type of materials used in construction. Lafore suggested substituting
either "substantial change" ar "significant change" for the term
"materia7 change". McCormick suggested deleting the word "material" and
using "change in appearance".
Under Section 6G - Nowysz wondered what the phrase "the inspector shall
inspect fram time to time" meant. Hillstrom stated that, considering the
number af applications that might te received per year, a member of the
Commission could accompany the building inspector on inspections.
Horton reported on conditions which must be met in order for a Certificate
of Appropriateness to be granted. Under Section 5, Horton suggested
substituting the phrase "the property itself or surrounding properties"
for the phrase "the property itself or of the neighboring improvements."
Horton questioned the phrase "spirit of the architectural style", stating
that it was too nebu7ous.
The members discussed problems with the terms "beneficial occupance" and
"reasonable return". Kolp stated that lack of a reasonable return might
be used as a potential reason for appeal rather than as a reason for
granting a Certificate of Appropriateness.
Lafore suggested that the "Standards for Rehabilitation" be incorporated
into the ordinance since they carry the status and power of federal
standards. A77 agreed.
McCormick reported on the section dealing with the powers of the
Cammission over demolition.
Under Section 5H - McCormick stated that the time element seemed
reasonable but suggested making this section more clearcut. McCormick
stated that the wording should not make it the Commission's responsiblity
to sitow an owner how to take care of his building. It should only give the
Commission an advisory role. Lafore stated that the demolition of a
building is often done maliciously and asked that Hillstrom look into
regulations concerning abandoned buildings.
Nowysz wondered if it wou7d be necessary for the Commission to determine
the fair market value of the property. The members discussed ways by

which the property could be appraised. McCormick suggested having a pool
of appraisers, but Hillstrom stated that the Commission would not have
money to do this. Horton said that the assessed value was on the tax roles
but that the assessed value is not necessarily the same thing as the fair
market value.
McCormick wondered if applicants would be required to pay a fee for a
Certificate of Appropriateness. Hillstrom explained that the application
for a Certificate would be done at the same time as the building permit
application. McCormick wondered if the permit process could cover the
expenses involved.
Hillstrom suggested using a formula to come up with the fair market value
of the property. If the owner disagreed, then he could pay for a property
appraisal.
The members discussed ways in which to determine if the owner has made an
303�20 of the Codestoesee how t e statenhandlesethat il sue�n9Laforecsaid
that an owner could just wait for the ten months to be up and not try to
sell the property. He cauld then demolish the property. Horton wondered
if it was within the City's power to make the owner demonstrate that
attempts have been made to sell the property. Horton wondered if the
Commission could require that the owner list or advertise the property.
Jacobsen wondered if the City has the power to seal abandoned buildings.
McCormick said there is no ordinance requiring owners to board up
abandoned buildings. Jacobsen suggested that if the Commission could have
the City seal abandoned buildings, it would be a good way to protect
abandoned structures in historic districts.
Bonney wondered about condemnation appraisal procedures. Kolp asked if
the Commission was going to incur any costs and asked about its budget.
Nowysz wondered if the Commission granted a Certificate of
Appropriateness to demolish whether the Commission would have any control
over what is built on the resulting vacant 1ot.
Lafare suggested giving clearcut power to the Commission to approve or
disapprove what type of structure replaces a demolished building. Lafore
suggested inserting in Section SG on page 6-"Any new construction in
historic districts must have a Certificate of Appropriateness."
ELECTION OF CHAIRPERSON AN� VICE-CHAIRPERSON:
Ko1p moved that McCormick be nominated as chairperson. Nowysz seconded.
Bonney moved that Ko1p be vice-chairperson. Horton seconded. Lafore
moved that the nominations be closed. Bonney seconded.

RE: Proposed Improvement of Riverside Drive-U.S. 6-Benton Street
No. F-6-7(22)-20-52
Dear Mayor and Council:
I represent William and Dorothy 0'Brien and McDonalds relating to
the proposed improvement at Riverside Drive and Benton Street in Iowa City.
My clients do not object to un improvement of Riverside Drive and Benton
Street in this area. I think everyone recognizes that the traffic condi-
tions require certain changes in this area in order to better serve the
property owners along the street nnd the public.
My clients do object, however, to the construction of a median strip
as proposed at the public hearing at the Iowa City Recreation Building
on November 24, 1981. A median strip would have a devastating impact on
the businesses on Riverside Drive which are all traffic-oriented businesses
The median strip would prevent traffic from getting to tl�e places of
business along Riverside Drive. At the public henring, I recormnended that
the Department of Transportation develop a plan similar to the plan on
IIurlington Street in Iowa City from Madison to Gilbert where you have five
traffic lanes with one lane reserved for left turns.
In support of this proposal, may I point out that the traffic count
by the City of Iowa City's AADTF which I got from the PuUlic Works Depurt-
ment, indicates that the traffic at Gilbert and Burlington is greater than
that at Benton and Riverside Drive. It would appear to me that a sixty-
one foot back-to-back curb alab would be sufficient to put in five lanes
with Yhe middle lane being a left—turn lune. This would help the merchants
by not having any median and also help by taking less footage from the
property on Che west side of the road.

Mayor and City Council -2- November 30, 1981
I am writing this letter at this time because I am not certain when this
matter will come up before the City Counc3l of Iowa City. It is my understanding
that this project does not require a public hearing with notice and that the '
only thing that will come before the Council will be the approval of the standard
agreement between the City of Iowa City and the Iowa Department of Transportation
for any highway improvements within the city.
I would appreciate it if I could be advised in advance when that proposed
agreement will come up on the agenda so that I and some of the other people who
are objecting to this median may present tUeir views to the City Council.
Thank you Eor your consideration.
Very truly yours,

The variance in population of the proposed council districts
may be more than is desirable or allowed by law. Your legal
department should be able to answer the question of the legality
of the variance. You yourselves will need to answer the question
of the desirability of the variance.
In several precincts, proposed polling places are not
centrally located. The proposed precincts leaving most to be
desired in this regard are precincts 2, 9, 12, 13, 19, and 20.
This problem might be alleviated by the choice of polling
places other than those the City has proposed in these precincts.
I would therefore appreciate having suggestions from you as to
other public buildings accessible to the handicapped and other-
wise suitable as polling places for these precincts. These
buildings need not be located in the precincts for which they
serve as polling places. For example, I believe that Ernest Horn
school might serve as a more convenient polling place for
precinct 9 than those proposed.
Another solution to this problem might be to ignore existing
precinct bo��nnaries and to define precinct boundaries in terms of
census blocks centering on those buildings which have been deemed
suitable polling places.
Finally, I have noted two discrepancies between the proposed
precinct map and the descriptions of the proposed precincts con-
tained in Draft 11/23/81 of Article 3, Section 10-35, of the City
Code. In the tenth line of the description of precinct 14, the
word "east" should be changed to "west."

Second, the easterly boundary of precinct 15 is described as
following Scott Boulevard north across the right-of-way of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad (CRI&P RR). This bound-
ary should be described as following the easterly corporate
limits of Iowa City. The corporate limits appear to leave Scott
Boulevard and follow the southerly right-of-way line of the CRI&P '
RR in a northwesterly direction for approximately 1/2 mile, cross
; the right-of-way to the northerly right-of-way line and follow
; the northerly right-of-way line of the CRI&P RR in a southeaster-
! ly direction for approximately 1/2 mite to Scott 8oulevar,d.
i
If you have any questions, or if I may be of any further as-
sistance in this matter, I hope that you will contact me. I have
; been advised that the Legislative Service Bureau would be willing
to assist the City in reprecincting, if desired.

November 20, 1981
Honorable John Balmer
Mayor of lowa City
and to the lowa City Council
Civic Center
lowa City, lowa 52240
Dear Mr. Mayor and Council Members:
In response to the letter to you and the City Council Members from Mr.
Joseph C. Johnson in which he appeals for parking meters on two sides
of the fuil block of lowa Avenue in front of the Credit Union and on Van
Buren Street beside the Credit Union. Let me categorically state that
Mr. Johnson's thinking does not represent the University of lowa Credit
Union Board of Directors position.
In reviewing the development of this area by the University Credit Union,
one of the prime considerations for both the City and the University Credit
Union was the safety of those that were visiting the Credit Union or passing
by the Credit Union area.
As you may recall, the property where the Credit Union is now housed
included eight houses in a sad state of repair at the time we acquired them.
The Credit Union restored the century old residence for use as a office
and demolished the other houses at a substantial cost. I have enclosed copies
of pictures of the area before we improved it. In consideration of future
expansion, we provided off street parking to an extent that exceeded parking
requirements called for in the City code. Almost simultaneous with our first
moving to the area, we were approached by the city to voluntarily clean out
shrubbery that had long been a nemesis to drivers of vehicles entering
the lowa Avenue/Van Buren Streetintersection. The previous owners had
refused to voluntarily remove the shrubbery. During the insuing discuss(ons
with city authorities, we mutually arrived at the conclusion that there were
actually two safety problems. Parked cars on the street obstructfng drivers
view and shrubbery situated on our property obstruct(ng view. We removed
the shrubbery, Subsequently, a subsWntial fncrease in the flow of traffic
to the Credit Union exacerbated the safety problem created by parked cars.
Complaints ensued! The final incident that occurred, before we approached
the City for the No Parking request, was a situation that involved a child
riding a tricycle on the sidewalk in front of the Credit Union building.
That child was narrowly missed by an automobile. After receiving a complaint
from the mother, (Mrs. Trevor Crick), we petitioned the City of lowa City
for No Parking on lowa Avenue and Van Buren Street adjacent to the Credit

Union property. The request as f recall, had no dissenters and was
granted promptly. Since that time, the University Credit Union business
has increasad along with the volume of traffic to and from the Credit
Union. Pedestrians and students on their way to Central Junior High
and the University, can certainly be thankful that the view of them
using the sidewalks is not blocked by parked cars as traffic moves in
and out of our entrances and three drive-through lanes. Incidently, since
the original parking restrictions were placed in effect, additional entrances
were approved by the City for our new parking lot. Our members regularly
use our services and come in and out of the entrances to our off street parking;
the alley behind the Credit Union and our three drive through lanes that exit
on lowa Avenue. Restricted vision as a result of parked cars would certainly
be hazardous.
The continuing concern of the Credit Union officials is that of the safety of
those who come to or pass by this area. Therefore, we respectfully request
that you not place any type of parking in the areas currently designated
No Parking on lowa Avenue and Van Buren Street.
Parking or meters that may be installed in front and to the east of Mr.
Johnsons office are not a concern to us. There appears to be space for
four meters in front of his office and to the east. Half hour meters should
serve him well. If Mr. Johnsons request were to center on that particular
issue and area, we would be supportive of that request.
If we can supply further information to you in making your decision, please
do not hesiWte contacting us.
Respectfully submitted,
� University of lowa Credit Union

Dear Mr. Krause:
At its regular meeting of December 8, 1981, the City Councll
recelved and placed on file your letter regarding parking on
Iowa Avenue and Van Buren Street. We agree that with the in-
creased traffic in and out of the Credit Union lot any parking
in that area would create a hazardous situation. A recomnenda-
tion will be submitted to the City Council at its December 22
meeting to install four two-hour meters in front of Mr. �ohnson's
office. This sfrould not create any problems for the Credit Union.
Thank you for yaur letter. Please contact me if you should have
any further comnents or questions regarding this or any other
City service.

Re: Congregate Meals
Dear Ms. Scott:
This will reply, alb.eit not substantively, to your
letter of July 27th. The absence of a substantive reply
is due to statutory limitations on our opinion powers.
Section 336.2(7) of the Iowa Code provides that we
are to give our advice or opinion in writing to the board
of superyisors, other county officers and school and town-
ship o£ficers. As yours is a city commission, an opinion
directly to you would be beyond the scope of our authority.
I have attached a copy o£ our most recent opinion to
the Board on this general subject. We have not been asked
by the Board for any further opinion.
If you wish to pursue a formal opinion on this matter,
I would recommend that you direct your request to the city
attorney or request the Board of Supervisors to seek our
further opinion.
I k�ill share with you a couple of points which we have
made in various discussions on this issue. I have advised the
Board that the newspaper notice as it now a.ppears does not
violate any law or regulation; however, that is not a signi-
ficant statement as no particular notice is either prescribed
or proscribed. Insofar as ive are aH�are, the program requires
no notice along the lines now used or any revision thereof.
By the same token, the notice clearly omits reference to a
significant aspect of the federal statute and regulation--
the priorities tirhich our opinion discussed.

I cannot say at this point what conclusion a future
opinion would reach regarding the accuracy of the notice
(as opposed to its compliance with the law), A determination
as to the accuracy of a notice which omits references to the
federal priorities depends on the manner, adequacy and sub-
stance of the state and areawide plans in addressing those
priorities. ,
I'm sorry to complicate this matter further for you if,
as I suspect, this reply is more obtuse than you would have
i+ished. If your commission would like, I'd be pleased to
attend a meeting to dicuss this with you further.

MEMORANDVM
Date: December 2, 1981
To: City Council
From: Doug Boothroy, Senior Planne�
Re: Report -"Planning and Zoning Review: Application Fees"
A study of the fees being charged to applicants for the various review
processes performed by the Planning and Program Development staff and
related City personnel was sent to you in the beginning of November.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Adjustment reviewed
the report; their recommendations follow.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that the concepts
outlined in the report "Planning and Zoning Review: Application
Fees" be considered by the City Council, and that the Council move to
increase the fees charged. The Commission has no recommendation as
to the exact amount of fees.
The Board of Adjustment recommends that fees for actions brought
before the Board not be increased.
Both the Commission and the Board were reluctant to impose fees which they
felt paid for the cost of regulation. Both bodies felt regulations
furthered the interests of the general population and that the review
process should be supported by general revenues. The Board of Adjustment
did not wish to deny anyone access to the appeals process by charging a
prohibitive fee.
It is the staff's position that, although the general population does
benefit from the application review process, each applicant who comes
before the Commission or the Board potentially realizes a benefit which is
not enjoyed by the general public. In the case o.f subdivisions, that
benefit is the financial reward derived from the sale of developed
property; in the case of variances, the applicant is able to enhance their
property for their own present enjoyment or for future profit and resale.
These benefits go beyond that which is enjoyed by the general public as a
product of the review process. Therefore, a fee should be charged to
compensate the general public for review services provided by the public
sector.
The magnitude of the fee must be evaluated in terms of the benefits
derived to the applicant, as outlined in the report, and should also take
into consideration the proportion between the fee charged and the tota]
project cost. It should be noted that the fees proposed do not include
such costs as pre-application conferences, on-going consultation with
applicants, and exact costs of typing and printing. The suggested
schedule is, therefore, representative of less than the full costs for
processing the applications. It is our opinion that the fees proposed are

MEMORANDVM
Date: December 2, 1981
To: City Council
From: Doug Boothroy, Senior Planne�
����
Re: Iowa City Precinct Boundaries
The enclosed precinct map reflects the new precinct and Council district
boundaries drawn up by the Johnson County League of Women Voters and the city
staff. The proposed changes have been reviewed by Tom Slockett, the Commissioner
of Elections, as required by law. Mr. Slockett's comments on the proposal are
included in your packet. Enclosed, also, are a list of the proposed polling
places, the population totals and changes by precinct and by district, and the
ordinance requiring action on Tuesday night.
VARIANCE IN POPULATION
Mr. Slockett raised the issue of the desirability and legality of vari'ations in
population totals for the Council districts. State law requires that "wards" be
apportioned by population and that ward boundaries follow the boundaries of
election precincts (Ch. 49.5(1)). Municipal ordinances merely set the boundaries.
The districts, as proposed, reflect a variance of less than 5%. State guidelines
for determining preciPct boundaries suggest a'variance of no more than 10%,
however, the law states that equality of population among precincts should not
take ppecedence over convenience to the voter. The district lines, as drawn,
reflect an effort to make as little change as possible so as to provide continuity
in district designations, and an effort to equalize population where a change was
required.
The City Attorney has found no question of legality with the variance as proposed.
Given the small percentage of variation, the staff recommends the district
boundaries be adopted as proposed.
POLLING PLACES
It is the responsibility of the Commissioner of Elections to designate polling
places. The staff is working with the Commissioner to compile a list of
appropriate places. No Council action is required on this item.
BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION
Any discrepancies in the description of the precinct lines have been resolved.
The amendment to the Code which describes the precinct boundaries is adopted by
ordinance and therefore requires three readings. The Council should be aware that
the deadline for submission of the revised boundaries to the Secretary of State is
December 31, 1981. Failure to meet that deadline allows the State to redraw
precinct lines for a municipality and chargeback any costs incurred, to the City.
Given the approaching holiday at the time of the Council's next meeting, �ecember
23rd, the staff advises reading the ordinance the required times at the
December 8th meeting.

RE: Variation in council districts
You have fonaarded to me a copy of the letter from County Auditor Tom
Slockett addressed to the Mayor and City Council dated November 25, 1981.
Tlie letter contains certain comments concerning the City's proposed plan
for m-precincting pursuant to the provisions of Section 49.5 of the Code
of Iotiaa (1981).
Dfr. Slockett's letter states, in part, "The variance in population of the
proposed council districts may be more than is desireable or allowed by
law. Your legal department should be able to answer the question o!: the
legality of the variance. You, yourselves, taill need to answer the question
of the desirability of the variance.".
According to information supplied by you, the variance between the largest
district and the smallest district is 8o and none of the proposed council
districts have more than a 5$ population variance from the mean.
I have reviewed the provisions of Section 49.5 of the Iowa Code concerning
this population variance between districts.
Section 49.5 provides, in part, "Election precincts toithin the same city
shall be so drawn that their total populations shall be reasonably equal
on the basis of the most recent Pederal decennial census, but equality of
population among precinsts shall not take precedence over consideration
of the convenience of voters as defined in this Section." (&mphasis supplied).
Although tlte State Code refers to the drawing of precincts, the Iowa City
Code of Ordinances provides far the establishment of three council dis-
tricts tuithin tuhich are all of the 25 election precincts.
In my opinion, the requirement contained in the State Code that election
precincts shall Ue reasonably equal also applies to tlie establishment of
council districts. It is also my opinion that a population variance of 8�
between the largest and smallest districts and an overall variance of 5�
from the mean is "reasonaUly equal" and satisfies the requirements of the
State Code. In addition, the mandate contained in Code Section 49.5 that
equnlity of population among precincts shall not take precedence over con-
sideration of the convenience of the voters also comes into play in that
the proposed drawing of council districts does give this factor more weight
than the minor variances of 8$ and 5% of inean. "Convenience of the voters"
refers to, Uut is not necessarily limited, the use of precinct boundaries
which can Ue readily descriUed to and identified Uy voters and ease of
access by voters to their respective precinct polling places by reasonably

RE: Juceco, Inc. Application £or industrial Revenue Bond Financing
In order to furthAs clarify the bank',s position regarding the purchase of
Industrial Revenue Boxxis in order to furd the Juceoo, Inc. Project. I
thought the £ollo,ai.ng �nrn,nts miqht be appropri.ate.
The bank has faith in the individuals inwlved in this project based upon
our past relationships with then. They are expeSience3 business neople
who have �rked hard at ves�tures to make then succ�s�u1, Th�, }�ve a
proven recox3 of £ollowing through on �mLitmPs�ts, I want to stress,
1wwe�'er. that even though the bank has regard for the individuals, the
loan in question is tn the business and, as such, the business must provide
the pri.ncipal repayment source.
' Based upon the pmjections, additional debt sesvice via a c�nventional
bank intesest rate wouid �rode the profit, which is alr�dy projected to
be m�dest. .
It should also be noted that the princ.ipals have put sufficient equity into
the project �*�;cularly in light of the'ieturn. This highlights the pPssonal
conmitrn�nt of the individuals.

Student Senate Resolution 81-q0
submitted by Tim Dickson, Shcldon Schur, Ptike Moon, L•'xecutives UISS
Steve Price, Aaron IIarlow, t'rcc Environment
December 8, 1981
WHERERAS, the City of Iowa City is intending to use Industrial Revenue
IIonds to finance an apartment complex to be constructed
dangerously close to the Plood Plain of Ralston Creek; and
WHER�AS, according to desiyns submitted to the City of Iowa City, the
parking lot of that apartment complex would be directly on
top of the Flood Plain, resulting in a threat to public health
caused by periodic flooding on the Flood Plain of Ralston
Creek, endangering the lives and property of the �enants
of that apartment complex; and �
[9HF.REAS, the placement of the parking lot on top of the Flood Plain
of Ralston Creek increases the possibility of flooding down-
stream of the apartment complex; and
WHEREAS, the City of Iowa City has spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars moviny residents who were living on dwellings built
on top of the i'lood Plain of Ralston Creek due to the threat
such a location for residential housing poses to public health; �
and
WHEREAS, the Industrial Revenue Bonds can be put to better use on
some other municipal project rather than helping to finace
an established landlord whose livelihood does not depend
on tlie use of these Industrial Revenue IIonds, which would
give this one landlord an unfair advantage in the housing
industry, an advantage that would prove detrimental to others
in the housing industry and therefore would, in the long �
run, create fewer opportunities for suitable housing rather
than greater opportunities for citizens seeking housing;
and
WHEREAS, the type of housing that would be produced with the use of
these Industrial Revenue Bonds would not satisfy the current
housing shortage in Iowa City since only twelve of the sixty
proposed apartments would be available as low - to - middle
income dwellings which arc most needed by the city; and
WHGREAS, the proposed I2alslon Creck North Branch Dam Project would
hinder only major flooding but would not affect L•he periodic
floodinq thal• takes place on the Plood Plain, and would thus
not inhibit the danger to public healCh and property the
location of the parking lot poses; and

47HEREAS, the structure of thc buildings on top of tall mounds would
be a poor lony term investmenC for the city to make since
the mounds, subject to erosion, would not last long enough
to make the to�o million dollar investment feasible for the
city to pursue; and
Wt1EREA5, Associated University Realty, Inc. has established a poor
record in dealings with student tenants, who comprise the
largest sinyle category of renters, and this poor record
is not exclusive to student rental relationships; and
WHEREAS, the City of Iowa City would be ignoring its responsibility
to protect the healtlt, property, and well being of the residents
of Iowa City should the City Council resolve to allow such
a pernicious use of these Industrial Revenue Bonds for such
a poorly designed and located project which would not be
of profit to the City of Zowa City and the residents of Iowa
City, but would only be of profit to the single landlord,
whether lives and property were lost or not;
THEREPORE DE IT RESOLVED:
That the University of Iowa Student Senate urges the City
Council of Iowa City to abandon all plans to further deface
the Ralston Creek I'lood Plain, and to abandon plans to help
finance the apartment complex so poorly designed and located.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED:
That the University of Iowa Student Senate urges the City
Council of Iowa City to enforce and strengthen existing city
ordinances prohibiting the building of structures, particularly
residential dwellings, on or dangerously close to Elood plains.
IIE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: �
That the University of Iowa Student Senate urges the City �
Council of Iowa City to put Industrial Revenue Donds to better
use than the project currently considered. �

time to complete the Comprehensive Plan and to permit the
rezoning of the Northside area. This ordinance was meant to
be an interim ordinance and the purposes for which this
ordinance was enacted have long since been accomplished.
The staff recomnends that the Council take action to repeal
Section 8.10.4D.

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ISSUE
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPIdENT REVENUE BONDS

The City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa,
(the "Issuer") will meet on the 8th day of
December, 1981, at the Civic Center, in Iowa City,
Iowa, at 7:30 o'clock, p.m., for the purpose of
conducting a public hearing on the proposal to
issue Industrial Development Revenue Bonds, (Henry
Louis Inc. Project) of the Issuer, in an amount not
to exceed $95,000 (the "Bond"), and to loan said
amount to Henry Louis Inc. (the "Company"), an Iowa
corporation, for the purpose of defraying all or a
portion of the cost of certain improvements or
equipment suitable for the use of its commercial
enterprise consisting of a retail facility located
within the Urban Renewal Area designated in the

Following a public hearing on May 19, 1981, the

the Bond in an aggregate principal amount not to
exceed 580,000, but subsequently has been requested
by the Company to increase the maximum amount of
the Bond to $95,000. The Bond, if issued, will be a
limited obligation and will not constitute a
general obligation of the Issuer nor will it be
payable in any manner by taxation, but the Bond
will be payable solely and only from amounts
received by the Issuer under a Loan Agreement
between the Issuer and the Company, the obligation
of which will be sufficient to pay the principal of
and interest and redemption premium, if any, on the
Bond as and when the same shall become due.
At the time and place fixed for said public hearing
all local residents who appear will be given an
opportunity to express their views for or against
the proposal to issue the Bond, and at the hearing
or any adjournment thereof, the Issuer shall adopt
a resolution determining whether or not to proceed
with the issuance of the Bond.

Susan Futrell
I have lived in Iowa City since 1973, and have a B.S, Sn
geography from the University of Iowa. I am currently
director of the Education/Outreach Project at Blooming
PraiTle Warehouse, a cooperative wholesale business, In
the course of rqy work, I am in contact with a wlde variety
of people from all over the Ididwest; one of the objectives
of the cooperative Ss to be open to all Snterested people
regardless of race, sex, religion, or age, and my ,job
involves seeing that this aim is carried out. I have a
personal as well as a professional commltment to thls aim.
In both rqy orofesslonal and community background I have a
great deal of experience worlcing with groups of people, and
have had training in facilitating groups anZ conflict
resolution. Thls skill would be especially useful on this
commission.
I have been involved ln a variety of commuttity activlties,
including the following:
-served �n the Board of Directors of Cltizens Housing '
Center, a housing advocacy group, for 3 years, and way
Snvolved Sn drafting a proposed Tenent-Landlord
Ordinance for Iowa Ci.ty which included anti-discrimination
provisions,
-have been an active member for y years and served on the
Board of Director$ for 2 years of New Pioneers Cooperative
Society.
I have taken an active interest in and been involved with a
varlety of other communnity groups and lssues, including
mass transit and opportunities for senior citlzens.
Knowledge of advisory board:
I understand that the Human Hights Commission enforces the
city antl-discrimination ordlnance, and that membc:� �i ene
commisslon are asslgned to review cases as complalnts are filed
with the clty, I am aware of the approximate time cammitment
requlred to attend meetings and review'cases, and the type of
work involved,
Heason for applying:
I belleve Iowa City has a strong anti-discriminstion
ordlnance, and has for tho �aost part a good record of upholding
the rights of Sts citlzens. I would llke to contrlbute �y
skills Sn working with people and rqy concern for civil
liberties to see that a�e continue in thls positive dlrection.

The neH� Senior Citizens Center can be compared to a newly
launched ship which is on a shakedown cruise to determine its
(sea)worthiness and its ability to serve the purpose for which
it was built.
Cuidance is needed in this critical trial period and I hope
to be able to advise e£fectively as to that guidance, and to of£er
assistance to identify and correct any current or initial problems.
I? a proper course can be set at this initial time then in the
future manaeement and maintenance can become routine and smooth

MEMORANDV M
Date: November 23, 1981
To: Neal Berlin and the City Council
From: Chuck Schmadeke G�
Re: Waste• Water Treatment Facility
The City of Iowa City has been proceeding with the design of the
improvements recommended in the 1979 sanitary sewerage system
facility plan. These improvements include the new waste water
treatment plant, the southeast interceptor sewer, the University
Heights sewer, outfall relief system sewer improvements, and sewer
system rehabilitation work. A71 of these projects are scheduled for
completion by January 1, 1986.
It now appears that federal monies may be delayed, resulting in what
could be a major negative impact on our sanitary sewerage system.
Public Works, therefore, recommends entering into an agreement with
Veenstra & Kimm to study the waste water treatment alternatives and
to provide recommendations to the City to insure that the current
level of service can be maintained.
A copy of the agreement is attached.

ARTICLE VI
OVERTIME
Section 1. For purposes of this Article a"day" is defined as beginning at

required to work at the end of twenty-faur (24) hour shift or who is called back
to work for fire department activities. Prior authorization from the Officer in
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RRPIDS•DES 110INES
charge is required before overtime will be credited. Employees may be
periodically required to work overtime but may request not to do so because of
physical inability as determined by the Chief or his/her designee.
Overtime is voluntary where overtime assignments are made over seventy-two
(72) hours in advance; provided, however, the right to refuse an overtime
assignment shall be limited to the first three (3) employees asked to report to
work on a particular work day. Thereafter, overtime shall be mandatory.
The Fire Chief shall make assignments as soon as he/she knows of the need.
There will be no pyramiding of overtime.
Overtime will be compensated at the rate of one and one-half (1�) times the
current base hourly rate of the employee or by compensatory time off at the rate
of one and one-haif (1�) hours of each hour of overtime worked. Permanent
employees may accumulate up to 48 hours of compensatory time which may be taken
off at times agreed upon by the employee and the supervisor. The Chief will
consider departmental staffing needs, finan�ial considerations, and employee
preferences in determining whether overtime is paid or compensatory time given.
Upon termination the employee will be paid for one-half (1/2) of the remaining
compensatory time. If an emergency situation occurs, as determined by the Chief
at the end of a fiscal year which would result in a probable loss of compensatory
time due to year end accruals, the Chief may authorize overtime payment in lieu
of compensatory time at the end of the first full pay period of the new fiscal
year.
Sectian 3. Minimum Call-In. An employee who has completed a work day and
who is called in to work in an emergency situation without prior notice will be
paid for a minimum of two and one-half (2 1/2) hours. If the emergency call-in
takes more than two and one-half (2 1/2) hours the employee will be compensated
for time spent. Minimum call-in will be paid at the overtime rate.
Section 4. Calculation of Overtime. Generally, overtime will be
recorded on the basis of six (6) minute segments, and an employee must work an
entire segment to be credited with one-tenth (1/10) hour for overtime. However,
in the case of retention time, an employee will receive one (1) hour of overtime
for any part of an hour of previously authorized work.
E.g., If a unit is called out at 6:30 A.M. for a fire and are unable
to return to the station until 7:20 A.M., each crew member wha has
received authorization to answer the call will receive one (1) hour of
overtime. In the event that the crew is required to stay until 8:20
A.M. (1 hour 20 minutes) the time in excess of one hour will be
recorded to the nearest one-tenth (1/10) hour and the employee would
receive 1.3 hours of overtime.
ARTICLE VII

leave of absence with pay in the event of an injury or illness of an employee

Date: December 4, 1981
To: ' City Council
from: Ci�Manager
Re: Capital Improvement Program: FY83-FY87
I. The proposed Capital Improvement Program for FY83-FY87 is presented
in two tables:
A. Table 1 provides:
1. A listing by type of project
2. Total cost
� 3. Cost by fiscal year
4. Cost by type of improvement
5. Funding source
6. Project status
a. New
b. Included in current FY82-FY86 CIP
c. Included in FY82-FY86 CIP - pending list
B. Table 2 provides:
1. A summary explanation, where appropriate
2. A priority designation
3. Additional comments
II. Project Priorites
Al1 projects have been placed in either an A or B priority category.
Priority A represents projects which should be scheduled for
completion in the year designated, and priority B projects probably
will have to be further postponed or abandoned.
The criteria for placing projects in Priority A are:
A. Guidance from the C9ty Council in its goal setting session on
August 31, 1981.
'i MICROFILMED BY

8. The necessity to minimize the issuance of general obligations
bonds because of an adverse market. Recently AAA bonds (Iowa
City's rating) have been selling for rates exceeding 11
percent.
C. The ability to identify a source of funding other than general
obligation bonds or general operating revenue. An example is
the public housing land acquisition with Community Development
Block Grant funds.
D. The necessity to undertake the project because the existing
facility is in an advanced state of deterioration. Examples are
the Camp Cardinal Road bridge and the Southwest Interceptor
Sewer.
E. Projects which have been previously approved and/or committed
� as part of another project. Examples are the Benton Street-
i Riverside Drive intersection, Linn Street improvements, and CBD
alley repaving.

7he Lcague ojlowa Municipditles p�errntr th'u rmrement

mt/lton fowana !tving in munfeipalftier. Thtr itatement o%
legG/ativt poltcY reprenntt the phtfoaaphy of effieient and
co:t-efJeeNve foea( govemmen� in which citlzenr and public
ofJtetalr rhan the eoncem of providing necerrary public
tervieer at a xaxonable cor�.
1. FAIR PLAY. The le�slaturc should enact legislation
requiring state zeimbursement for wsts o( implementing
stnte mandates imposed on cities by state statutes or
administrative niles.
2. HOME RULE. The lesslaturo must resist intringing upon
the right of self-0etermination �anted to rcsidents ot lowa
citia by the consti[ution and home rule law.
3.
4.
TAXATION. The legislaturo should promote strong local
govemment with sound taxation policies that allow cities
to determine the most efficienl means of providing the
urvias demanded by the publie by:
a. insuring that city pro�ame and services receive an
equitable proportion ot the s[ate rcvenues generated
(rom citia.
b. enabling cltiee to utilize local option taxes.
c. examining the pzopriety of all present property tax
exemptions.
d. devdopin8 a unitorm property tax azsessment system
that is asily understoad and administered. Such a
system should make azsessmen[s equitable within and
among property cluses az well u jurisdictians.
LAND USE. The le�slaturc should rocognize the public
need for meaningful land use pollcies by making eertain
that prcsent and (uture state laws encourage wise land use
decisions and provide cities and counties with the neces-
sery authority to implement etf cieot land use con[rols.
5. LIABILITY. The legslaturc should protect taxpayen'
investment in governmental facilitles and personnel by
cotrecting municipal I(ability lawe. Such cortections could
take lhe form o[ eithet IlmiHn6 the amoun[ o[ awazds or
extending tho- same ezemD�tons on discretionary functlons
and punitive damages that We state enjoys, the same
immunity on inspections that insurance companies enjoy,
and revising a municipality's duties to defend and indemnify
its o(ficen and empioyees.
6. LAW ENFORCEMENT. The lepslature should promote
efhetive local law enforcement by:
a. (unding the local cost of training lowa law enforce-
ment officen.
b. evalua[ing the Iceal cos[/bene(it rolationship of u[iliz-
ing the unifed law en[orcement ac[.
c, enacting more stringent moped licensing provisions.
7. ROAD USE TAX. The legisiaturc should make certain the
road uu [ax (und is funded in a manner that will maintain
our road system through the imposition of an ad volarcm
hx on all fuels, elimination of the gasohol exemption,
creation of new revenue sources, trsnsfer of funds from
the state's genera! fund, or any athet appropriate means.
b. BE7TER GOVERNMENT. The lepslature should create
and adequately fund an Iowa Advisory Commission on
Intergovemmental Relations. Such a commission would
encourage more effcient govemment and moro equitable
taxation through le�slative and administrative reeort�men-
dations based on analysis ot specific problems in the
complez intertelationships among governmental units.
9. EQUAL RIGHTS. The le�sla[ure should guarantee equal
rights under the law to all [owa eitizens.
10. COLLECTIVE BARGAfNING. While the Aiblic Employ-
ment Relations Act has proved effective in resolving
collective bargaining disputes, elements o[ ttte law specifi-
cally mandating final binding arbitration must be viewed u
an erosion ot local fiscal and adminis[rative responsibility.
AltemaHves to this method of dispute uttlemen[ should
be investigated and, if approprlate, adopted into law.
1 I, TRANSIT ASSISTANCE. The le�slature should encour•
age ttansit pro�ams by funding state transit assistance in a
manntt that allows (or inflation and system �owth while
providing a dependabie allocallon formula tha[ allows local
budget decisions to be made in an intormed manner.

ESTABLISHING A STATE ACIR

WHEREAS modern problems such as urbanization, technological

and
WHEREAS today�s problems are causing most public officials to become
i more sensitive to the intergovernmental nature of such problems, and
IWHEREAS the creation of a state advisory commission on intergovern-
� mental relations could ensure that coordination rather than conflict will
! characterize state-local relationships, and {
iWNEREAS a state advisory commission on intergovernmental relations �
could produce authoritative studies of intergovernmental problems that

WHEREAS correcting municipal liability laws to contain similar

discretionary matters,
3• would exempt local government from responsibility for privately-

SNOW AND ICE RF1dOVAL FROM SIDEWALKS
WHEREAS the Iowa Supreme Coart has held Lhat a ciiy may be held
legally responsible for the removal of snow and ice from sidewalks;
and
WHEREAS conscientious property owners presently remove snow and
ice accumulations from abutting sidewalks; and
WHEREAS holding the city legally responsible for snow and ice
removal creates an inequitable situation for the vast majority of
conscientious property owners whose property taxes must be used to ,
insure the city against losses caused by those who will not remove
snow and ice from the abutting sidewalk; and
WHEREAS the standing court decision creates an unfair economic
burden on a city which must either employ a large number of workers i
at unpredictable intervals to remove snow and ice from sidewalks or 1
i
purchase costly insurance to protect the city against litigation:
�
Therefore be it
.
RESOLVED that the Iowa Ceneral Assembly enact HF 764 to specifi-
cally identify the property owners' duty to remove snow and ice accumu-
lations from sidewalks.

LOCAL OPTION TAXES
WHEREAS local government in Iowa cannot function effectively
without the suthority to respond to local initiatives; and
WF�REAS the authority to respond to local initiatives must include
the means to carry out local priorities; and
WHEREAS the means for local government to respond to citizens is
maintaining the integrity of home rule and securing.financial resources
to carry out the will of a majority of the people; and
WHEREAS the financial assistance from the federal government is
declining at the same time program implementation and responsibility
are increasing, and
WHEREAS the financial resources of city government are no longer
enough to insure local government's ability to maintain present service
levels let alone implement any new initiatives demanded by the co�unity;
and
WHEREAS nearly 40� of the cities are unable to levy more property
tax due to legislatively-imposed tax limitations and tax base erosions;
� and
iWHEREAS additional revenue must be made available to local govern-
ments to keep pace with inflation and maintain existing programs:
Therefore be it
RESOLVED that the legislature authorize several local option taxes
to allow city government and citizens a choice as to which type of tax
best meets local needs.

The Honorable Arthur Small
State Senator (37th District)
State Huuse
Ues Moines, lowa 50319
Dear Senator Small:
The legislative committee os�thonC�on various �issues Cand Wspecific
communicate the City's p the Iowa
proposed legislation currently being'o�o�s�dare d included under
Legislature. Concerns of highest p Y
numbers one and two below.
1. The City su orts:
a. Expansion of local option taxing authority to include
local sales tax. The sales tax provision should be
included in SF 544 and we urge passage of that legislatinn.
�. Maintenance of Municipal Assistance allocations at the
current level.
i
c. Measures which ease the pruvisions for compliance with
Chapter 28A, Open Meetings Law. We specifically urge
passage of SF 438 (HF 307 companion bill) which makes all
applications for public employment confidential and
further allows a City Council or other public body to go
into closed session of a t�b����employee, discussing the
appointment or hiriny P
d. Legislation which limits clearly the exWesu�ee f assa,ye of
tort liability claims. Specifically, 9 P
SF 474 clarifyiny wh��huni�tive �damagest� defense,�nanrl
regarding inspections, P assa e of SF
indemnification of employees. We also urge p 9
374 which clarifies the duties of a City and those uf
private property owners regarding snow removal
responsibilities.

e. HF 781 and subseyuent amendments whicli delegate to local
guvernments final authority for the control of liquor
license issue within that governmental subdivision.
2. The City o oses:
a. Legislation which will further reduce or limit local
taxing authority. An example of such legislation is HF 511
which would limit total property tax levy Lo a maximum of
1% of actual value of said property. Another example is
558291 for counties which impose a dollar tax increase
limit.
b. Adoption of any spending limitations on local governments,
especially those based upon set percentage figures.
c. Any legislation which mandates additional costs to local
governments without providin,y a source of revenue for
offsetting tliose costs.
3. The City takes Lhe following positions relative to specific
pieces of proposed legislation. We consider tliese to be
important but of a lower priority than the above.
a. Supports SF 445 which provides for an increase in gasoline
and diesel fuel taxes. Such legislation would be of
significant value in offsetting recent drastic reductions
in the amount of Road Use Tax returned to cities.
b. Supports HF 455 which would establish a Housing Court
witliin the district court for the purpose of hearing
landlord-tenant disputes and actions arising under the
Housing laws.
c. Supports HF 290 whicli provides for a mandated maxinwm
sentence for Assault for any person who is convicted ol
assaulting a peace officer.
d. Supports SF 13 (HF 454 companion bill) which remove, t,lie
ceiling on investment of public funds.
e. Suppor[s SF 354, a substantial rewrite uf the current
civil service law.

f. Supports HF 757 which provides that easements obtained by
cities for public utilities prior to January 1, 1950, give
continued easement rights for repair and maintenance of
said utilities.
g. Supports HF 275 which would allow City Department Heads Lo
opt out of the state IPERS program in favor of otlier
existin,y retirement proyrams.
h. Supports SF 262 whicli revises the statute which requires a
soil erosion control plan approved by the soil distr•ict
commissioners for a land Aisturbing activity in a
political subdivision requiring a building or zonin,y
authority. This revision provides that an affidavit be
� filed with the permit-issuing authority stating that the
� project will not exceed the soii loss limits instead of the
ifiling of the soil erosion control plan.
� i. We oppose SF 482 which requires cities to reimburse
, billboard companies the full value of billboards taken by
zoning or other City authority.
j. We oppose SF 225 whicti would reduce from 10% to 5% ttie
amount of . retainage now allowed to be withheld on
consLrucLion projects.
k. We oppose HF 797 (SF 476 companion bill) which mandates
extension of the duration of a civil service promotional
list from two years to three years. Such legislation would
force a stronger emphasis on seniority and would very
conceivably undercut affirmative action efforts toward
promotions.
We appose SF 31! which would redefine the scope of
collective bargaining by adopting the NLRB standard
specifying wayes, hours, and other terms of employment as
mandated bargaininy topics. We much prefer that
bargainable items continue to be more clearly specified as
now provided in Chapter 20.
m. We oppose HF 1G2 which would allow the Governor tu remove
the director of the Civil Rights Commission and whicli
would mandate that a complainant post a bond at the timr, a

complaint is filed with the Civil Rights Commission which
would be forfeited if the complaint were dismissed. It is
quite clear that if such a complaint is sufficiently
frivolous or malicious, a respondent has adequate civil
remedies. This legislation would serve to place an undue
financial burden on a person who believes his/her rights
have been violated and who wishes to pursue available
remedies.
n. We oppose SF 483 which deletes the restrictions on outside
earnings of disability retirees under police and fire
retirement systems.
If you wish further input or clarification of the City's position on
these or any other issues, please do not hesitate to contact
, committee members Mary Neuhauser, David Perret, or me either

Leased Small Buses
P�
The Transportation Planning staff has investigated the availability of
small buses on a leased basis, and the results have been extremely
disappointing.
Having contacted transit operators all across Iowa, we found no one with
any vehicles available for lease, and no one who even knew of any other
property with excess small buses. Also, of the small bus manufacturers,
few were willing to'even consider a short-term lease arrangement. The
only midwest distributor who would give us a price quoted $4300 �er month
to lease a Wayne "Transette-XT." At this price we wovld completely pay
for the vehicle in under a year. •
We are still looking for other possible sources. If something is found
that looks worthwhile, we will pursue it and report back with details.
Otherwise, we will attempt to weather this winter with our present fleet.

In-Kind Contribution for Space, Utilities and Certain Services
Provided to Agencies Based in the Senior Center
The following figures are based on a square foot charge of $8.50 a square
foot which is what the federal Post Office was asking for the space
occupied by the County.
The square foot space for each office does not include shared spaces such
as thz classroom, demand office, conference room, kitchenette, etc. which
are available for use by a11 agencies. It also does not include such City
services as use of the duplicating machine and the print shop at Cost.
The square footage for Congregate Meals includes the assembly/dining room
which they only use from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. However, since they are the
prime user of gas, electricity, hot water, refuse collection and the
loading dock it is•felt that this manner of calculating the cost of
providing space is equitable. •

Rent Con�ro�`"�Vle sures
Bring Mixed
By Mu�vet GIbM .
Chair, P.A. TimvAdvlsoryGioup
Are rent controls enacted by municipal•
iiies the answer to houeing shortages? Do
ihey proteci tenanu (rom unethical land-
lords who scek to squeeze�more return
from their investmentl Do their negative
aspects outweigh the positive benefits to
renters?
Throughout the nation many commun-
iiies are wratling.with ihe shortagc of
available housing for middle and lower in•
come families. High intcrast, large down
paymen�s for purchases, and lack of new
construction in the lower price ranges have
all contributed to creating a problem. Only
a kw cities, however, have elected to insti•
�ute conirols on ren[al rates, and some of
ihose who have find policing and enforce-
mem difficult to impossible to implement.
Even the U.S. Senate got into the act
wi�h the 1981 Housing and Communiiy De•
velopmeni Aci of 1981, an amendment �o
which provides that Section 8 funds be de-
nied to jurisdictions which control rent and
ihcreby diminish incentives for new con-
suuction.
There are 427 incorporated municipal-
iiies in California, yet las than S percent of
�hese are ailempling to control rents.
Nationwide ihe rcnt control cities number
only around 120, according to the Housing
Information Center ot the Foundation o!
National Progras of Santa Barbara, which
publishes a source book on reni control.
(P.O. Box 3396) '
Caii(ornia, with its frequent visiiors and
high•priced property, has few cities in-
voived in rcm control legislation. Palm
Springs, wimer resort eapital, seems to be
making its ordinance operatc successfully
despiie landlord protests, perhaps because
the law permi�s an annual inerease in rents
eyual io �/. of ihe Consumer Price Index.
Upponanis claim ihis does not protect the
im�estment of landlords, whose costs re-
Ilec� 100, not 15, pereene of initation. .
Los Angeles has provided for rent con-
trols sinco March 1978. The 65,000 land-
lords pay S4 per uni� annually toward en-
forcement. Permitted annuai increases
amoum from 7 to 9 percen�, and utilities
and capilal imp�ovements may be passed
un io ienanis. Unlike most.other cities, Los
.4ngelrs applics this control to retirement
liomes as weil as ather �ypes of housing.
The Los Angeles County Board of Super-
visors votad 3•1 this year to phase out all
coun�y rent conirols over �he next two
years. A group oflandlords and developers
opened a campaign in October 1981 to end
ram eontrols and other housing rela�ed
ordinances in ihe ci�y of Los Angeles,
including conversion of apanments• imo
condominiums and demolition of e:isting
«ntal uniis. This Calilornia Housing Sup-
p�y Task Force group admits ihat there is a
lack uf adoquaio and affordablc housing,
Resuits
but considers thac the city has made the
prabtem more complex with controls which
discourege developers and larid owners
from building.

The vacancy factor, a major element in
the decision [o impose rent controis, is
reponed by the Rand Corporetion to be 4.6
pereent in Los Angeles, while the Univer-
sity of California at �.os Angeles Insiitute
for Social Science Research comes up with
a 0.8 percent ratc for the same area. Any
vacancy facror of las'than 5 percent is com
siderod to causo a shonage of rental units.
Since September 1, I9801andlords in Los
Angeles face stiff penalties for violations.
Recently two were fined a total o( 52,500
and ordered to pay back SI,600 to 9 tenants
whosc rcnls, for downtown apar[mm[s,
they had increased from 75 to 90 percent.
The collectors working•for the owners weie
also fined a to[al of 31;900 and, with ihe
owners, placed under summary probation
for 20 months under plea bargaining. The
law provides 6 months in jail bu[ thus far
no ono has been sentenced� to jail. The
action came into court afur tenants joined
to fight owners�. �
The conversion of apartments to condo-
miniums also removes (rom. rent comrol
some properties annually. The State Cour�
of Appeais in California ruled that the Los
Angeles City Council canno[ withhold ap-
proval of such conversion plans without a.
strong and clearly defined rationale.
Justice Lynn Compton, author of the deci-
sion, wrote, "We are dealing with the con-
sciwtionally protccted right of private pro-
porty ,.... and an exercise o( tha police
power by the city impinges on that righl by
denying the owner a use which would be
pertecUy legal and proper." Moreover ihe
California Supreme Cour� ruled in Febru-
ary, 1981 �hat tenants may withhoid rent in
prot2si of unliveable housing conditions
end fght eviction even though the landlord
has no� had reasonable time io make ra-
pairs. The Court seated that '4he impiied
warranty of habitabiliiy" by iandlords
must be mei.
Sania Monica, a des'vabie seaside resi-
dential community, recamly had iis presani
rent control dmlared illegei efhrthe �per-
ior Court determined that the ciiy's for-
mula for determining "a fair rn�e of ra•
iurn" was unconstitutional. The Rent Con•
trol Board is facing 80 sui�s fromLvd�
lurds. Sania Monica's ordinance includad
a provision that purchnsers of properry al-
ready losing money could not incroase
rents. Santa Monica is drafting a new ordi•
nance.

+ Nor is the work of enforcement without
peril to the Rent Control 8oard. �The Sania
Monica S member boerd, reportedly pro-
tenant, was convicted ot con[empt �in
March 1981 and threatrned again in early
luly; whcn it waz ordered by Superior
Court Judge Raymond Choate to allow a
rental increasc sought over iwo years by an
owner and was ordered to Qay his SI2,000
legal bills. 'Ihe judge, also criticiud the
• board for its rigidity and biaz.
�"Rent wntrol is a failutt (rom the South
Bronx to Santa Monica. Yet i[s proponems
push it as a cure-all for the severe renial
housing shortage plaguing the nation. They
are wrong" says Mayor Peie Wilson o! San
Dicgo. "The plain, undeniable fact is that
no city that is afllicted with ren[ control
can hope to cure its housing crisis umil it is
rid of rent tontrol. Only then wn it hope to
stimulam the production of new units and
thc main[enance of its existing inventory.
Only then can Congress be assured that it is
discharging its public trust and not throw-
ing good money after bad;' the mayor
concludes. .-
tn opposition to this position is the plea
f housing and community development
ersonnei who recognize that there is a ser-
'ous housing shortage, that curtent intla-
ion and high interest rates have discour-
aged even a normal amount o( new con•
struction, ihereby requiring promction of
tenants dependent on what already exists.
There persists a suspicion that investors are
making �more than a fair return on thair
investmen[ and do not need the protection
of a free economy. California's shortage of
housing aisted nven before « nt controls
began ar.d it is unclear scill how much the
controls have discouraged� new consvuc-
lion, if al all. .
� Marin County, a high rent residential
area north across the Goidon Gate trom
San Francisco, plans to have a rent con[rol
measure on tha November ballot. The
proposal is to roll renu back to 1980 and
allow only those increases approved by a
Ioeai board. Owner occupied b'uildings o( 3
or fcwer units would not be covered, nor
would new construction.
Cotaii, a small town in northern Califor-
nia, where housing shortaga is ralaied to
the number of students attanding Sonomq
Slate College there, had a rcm control ordi-
nanca whieh provided for an annual adjust•
ment each Ottobor'of 66 percent of the CPI
for �he previous period of July to July,
The Superior Court of Sonoma County
ruled in April 198I that iheir ordinancewas
confiscaiory because it relied on investment
amount rather than fair market vaiue, that
the negative cash Itow penalizes ihc owner

60 days prior to filing any aDDlication for a

a va[ancy factor of 4 percent or las, the
City Cauncil must approve all conversions. �
In Burlingame a new ordinance limits

Foster City banned conversions unless
Ihere is an equal number of vacant units

Does the cost of rent control outweigh
the savings7 The Rand Corporetion recent-
ly preparcd a study of the pro.and wni for
the city of Los Angelu. It concluded that
rent control may be yeneficia� in reducing
rental increasa in the early stages, but that
they exact administrative cosn ,which
wutes both landlords' and renters' money,
� and in the Iong run are not wholly bene-
ficial. The level of housing service ulti-
mately'will agree with what the owner is al-
Iowed to tharge, Moreover some owners
. will avoid lossa by transferring property to
other uses. A survey a( the average savings
to Los Anaela renter between 197B, when
the law was enatted, and 1982 when it is
due lo expire, was calculated to be 5191.
The cost to landlords was.figured lo be
5215 per unit, aith the difference going for
administrative costs of enforcement.
� What is requirtd to make rent control
workablel '
Obviously a tight market for housing, ( a
S pereent or Ias vacancy faetor) a fair re-
turn (or invators, and un unbiued mecha-
nism for enforeement of laws. The problem
hinges in pert on what constilmes a fair re-
lum. With inflation ealculated to be run-
ning between 12 and IB per cent, deprnding
upon geography and what is induded,
lendlords are not sat(sfied with increases at
the level of 7 or 9 percent or. �5 of Ihe prior
year's CPI. Is there an equitable solutfon
for both renters and owners7 One of the
pofnts of difference in seeking a fair return
on, investment, is whether property is
valued according to purchase price, current
markot value, or ta�c assessment. Landlords
complafn that upkeop and replacement
costs heve increased even ahead of current
in(lation.
Renters on fixed (ncomes respond that
they have no plate to go on costs. Pensions
do not incrcase commensurate with in11a•
tion. Because of age ar health senior citi-
uns and handicapped persons have no
means of creating new income to cover
their needs. Is it u public or privatt respon-

THE FUTURE OF URBAN FORESTRY'
by Fred Bartenstefn
The city manager or mayor looks at loreslry as
one of a growing number ol urban services local
government can provide lo satisfy demands of
taxpayers. Policing, slreet lighling, waste collec-
tion, libraries, tire prevention and suppression,
building inspection, sireel maintenance, water,
airports, correclion, zoning enforcement and
public health are but a(ew of ihe olher services
that must be considered when dividing tax
receipls each year.
When money is plentiful, city governmenls are
in the enviable posilion of being able to please
almost everyone. When money is tight, as is
usually the case, there are lwo choices— perlorm
less service or manage more elficiently. The latler
choice, management, implies prioritization. When
citizens are asked to rank lhe importance they
place upon exisling services, sa(ety services
(such as police and fire) invariably come firsl,
followed closeiy by public ulilities (such as water
and streets) and environmental control (such as
wasle collection and housing inspection). Amenity
services usually place last.
Due to a difficult regional economy and a heavy
reliance on voted wage and profit taxes, Dayton
has been through a series of boom and bust
cycies. We have learned that prioritization of ser•
vices, even when done by citizens, can prolound•
ly miss the point of what is actually expecled of
locai government. For example, knowing that
cftizens rate policing as an important service fells
us very little about how much, whal kind, or, more
importantly, fo what end poiicing is valued. If
perception of safety in lhe neighborhoods is
desired, adding detect(ves or improving com•
munications may be less eflective than increasing
the level of tighting, providing employment oppor•
tunities for teenagers, or establishing
neighborhood watch programs.
In order lo manage with less and respond ellec•
tively to citizen needs, we have had to learn not to
r"�
261
concenlrale on the service organization, bul on
the end results. A policy goal-setting process
(begun in 1975) resulted in a sel of five targets
the Dayton Cily Commission hopes to achieve
with ils lax dollars. These are economic vitality,
neighborhood vilality, maintenance ol Dayton's
unique character, leadership in intergovernmental
alfairs and preservation of the urban infrasiruc-
lure. Budgeting for service delivery under these
goals requires a rethinking ol mosl traditional ur•
ban services and some evaluation of how well
each service responds to the newly expressed
needs.
LeYs look at urban forestry within ihis planning
environment. What is urban foreslry7 How did we
get in this business7 To what needs or desires
does it respond? Municipal forestry practice has
traditionally focused upon needs of lhe city's
trees. When asked what the trees do for the city
or its people, (oreslers lend lo respond with
general statements about beaury and lhe backiog
of citizen requests for tree mainlenance. It has
been easy for urban managers, given these
responses, lo juslify passing responsibility lor
tree care to individual property owners who ap•
pear to have the most to gain from trees and iheir
benelils.
Why cities service trees
At some poinl in the urban past there must have
been a reason for trees entering ihe ranks of
municipal services, qayton thinks it is important to
take a long look at Ihe urban lorest and how it gol
lhere, and at�empt to calculale lhe benefits it pro-
vides loday and migh� provide in the luture.
Two conflicting �rends have been al work
ihroughoul lhe hislory of the cities and urban
torestry in America. The lirst is the desire to
change and modernize. Josiah Royce, a 19th
century American philosopher, described lhe city
builder in lhis way:

"In lounding new cities and in occupying new
lands, he lirst devotes himsell to burning fhe
/oresfs, tolevelling wifh �u(hless eagemess the hill

(opography, the unvarying plan ol his system o/
strafght sVeets and o! recfangular sVeet cross-

leverish endeavor to ruin fhe landscape. Now all
fhis he does not all because he is a meie
malerialist, buf ... because mere nature is, as
such, vaguely unsatislactory Lo his soul, because
what !s merely found musf never content us."�
The second major irend emerges from Ihe Jef•
lersonian rural ideal and its corollary — ihat cities
are inherenlly unhealthy lo the human body and
soul. Andrew Jackson Downing, Frederick Law
Olmsted and the landscaping movement pro•
ceeded from the assumption lhat "Man's essential
unily with God was reflected in his relation to ihe
natural world around him."Z
Early advocates ot urban forestry reflected a
missionary assurance of their socia� purpose. Dur-
ing ihe War ot 1812, troops quartered in Dayton
were set to work by one of Dayton's lounders,
6uilding a levee and planting elms and maples
throughout its length. A later historian observed;
"Whether Daniel Cooper had any Iegai right or not,
this was a fine tore•sighted, public spirited thing to
do."3 The same historian describes the work of
another founding lather: "With the vision ot mak-
ing our city like the elm•embowered towns o1 New
England, (John) Van Cleve surrounded the court-
house wilh elms, and when they got to ihe age
when the green limbs lifting to the sky framed the
classic pillars in their foliage, an editor, who
thought that to have trees in the city made it look
countrified, kept at it in his paper until the elms fell
victim to a municipal axe and are no more."3 John
H. Patterson, the paternal industriaiist , who
lounded National Cash Regisler Company, and
who led Dayton into becoming the lirst large city
to adopl the progressive city manager form of
government, was an ardent advocate of land-
scape gardening as a c(vic movement.3 Patterson
was targely responsibte for the hiring ol Dayton's
Ilrst city forester in 1917?
Those familiar with mfdwestern cities will
recognize "prncticality" as the dominent
Bartenstein: Future �. .,rban Forestry
characteristic ol our manulacturing economy and
civic lraditions. In full recognition ol lhe polilical
weight "practicality" would carry in gaining ils ac•
ceplance, lhe 1911 Cily Park Plan, commis-
sioned by Patterson and fellow industriaiisls and
completed by the prestigious Olmsted firm,
stressed lhe bene(its ol tree•lined boulevards to
real estate developers.° The largest part of
loday's urban forest in Daylon was plaMed by land
developers in the (irsl decades ol Ihe twentieth
century — men who would never have invested in
vegetation unless assured o( its coniribution to
the sales po�ential of their subdivisions.
A unique synthesis was forged belween
"modernism" and "naturalism" irends in the tirst
decades of lhis century as other ulilitarian values
were found to justify urban forestry expenditures.
In Dayton, gardening was touted as a cure for
juvenile delinquency and as a method lor increas-
ing citizens' invo�vement and pride in ihe
neighborhoods. Public lree planlings reflecled the
city's desire to appear progressive and modern.
The urban forest was also championed in the early
20th century for its contributions to public health.
A"green lungs" plan for Chicago proposed the in-
lerspersing o( dense development with open
space (or improvement o1 air quality. The Ohio
Department ot Education exhorted schoolchildren
in a 1912 Arbor Day manual: "Don't forget lhat an
adequate number ol street trees miligates the in-
tense heat of the summer months, and diminishes
the death rate among children .., dodt forget
that the air of basements and cellars is rendered
less humid by Ihe removal ol surplus water from
ihe surrounding soil through the medium ol roots
and loliage.s
Two major developments occurred as the 20th
century entered middle age which e(fective�y
aboRed the furiher development of "Environmen-
tel Urban Foreslry" and greatly diluted ihe zeal of
the "Urban Naturalists." Refinement o( air-
conditioning technology in ihe 1930's revolu-
tionized the citys vulnerabilily to extremes of
temperature and humidity.� Mass production of
the automobile provided large segments of
metropolitan populations with the oplion to locate

pensive green e�ements loreslers and landscape
gardeners could import to the dense urban core
oflered little competition to the half•acre lawn.
Air-conditioning and widespread access to Ihe
automobile weakened the constituency for urban
foresfry and placed upon municipal foresters ihe
"caretaker" role in which we know ihem today. As
the cityscape changed under economic and social
pressures, a series o( incremental decisions were
made in which the existing urban•forest began to
disappear without replacement. Urban renewal,
street widenings, demand placed upon open
space for active forms of recrealion, absentee
ownership, and new municipal concerns for safe•
ty, operating efliciency and capital intensive
mainlenance, all conspired toward removal of
trees. As urban ofticials became more
sophisticated in managing resources lor maximum
productivity and cost efficiency, ihe urban forest
tended to be viewed more as a liability than an
asset.
Municipal tree issues in ihe '50's, '60's and
'70's pitted the "practical men" and "progress"
against emotional, poetic, or downright
recaicitrant bands of garden ciubs, preserva•
tionists, and civic beautiliers. Despite occasional
victories, the net result was almosf invariably
fewer trees in the city.
Are muntcipal trees valued?
There is a direct parallel between recent efforis
ol historic preservationists to document the
economic and energy benefits of building restora•
tion and the task laced by advocates of urban
forestry in the 1980's. In order for urban forestry
to survive, a casa must be made for the contribu•
tions of urban forests to urban survival. This case
must locus on needs and issues relevant to urban
dwellers and not on the needs of trees and the dif•
ficulties they lace in a modern city. Like old
buildings, trees stand their best chance for sur•
vival if ihey are valued (or their contributions to a
citys physical, economic and social welfare.
These values must be understood and translated
into costs and benefits before forestry can effec•
tively compete lor scarce tax dollars.
A modern municipality will probably not choose,
or be abie, to fully care for all the trees in the city.
�--
263
Given a set budget and forced by a lack o( policy
to spread it equally over a massive inventory of
street and park irees, urban foresters are no
longer even "caretakers" — Ihey are
"morticians." Trees demanding first attenlion will
be those that are dead, blown down, or overgrow•
ing street lights, sewers and utility wires. With
limiled budgets, the rate of removal will almost in•
variably exceed ihat ol replacement. A lack of
care for the existing healthy slock only increases
the death rate. Inexorably, our cities are moving
toward the logical end of "no (orest."
In order lor urban lorestry lo survive, clear
reasons (or healthy trees to exist must be stated,
and stated in terms relevant to today's citizens.
Furihermore, policies must be deveioped which
permit forest managers to maximize benefits,
minimize costs and demonstrate how Irees can
compete with other urban services as an efficient
response to the needs and desires of city
dwellers. Public policies which require ministra-
tions to all trees in all places can never alford
managers a shot at the "main chances" (or urban
forestry.
Wilh the assistance ot the USDA Forest Service
and researchers in the lorestry protession,
Dayton is beginning to develop a body of
knowledge and strategy which could radically alter
perceived values and the management of our ur•
ban forest. Drawing upon the cify's policy goals
and the fools of cost benefit analysis, the Dayton
Project Is seeking to develop a comprehensive
strategy for urban (orest activity.
Dayton's foremost goal, shared with most other
older cities, is economic vitaiity, which could also
be stated as economic survival. Trees will pro•
bably never be a primary tool (or economic
development, but to the extent they attract jobs or
residents, trees can play an economic role. The
image of a community is an importanf aspec� of its
atirac�iveness to Ihe investor. An attractive urban
lorest might play a role in Ihe calculation of ihe
amenilles a given place o((ers.
It a city wished to use trees strategiceily to
enhance investment, it might give first attention to
the airport, Interstate highway approaches, in-
dustrial opportunity areas, and fhe central
business districts. Seattle noticed a substanlial in•

crease in lease rates and a decrease in vacancy
on a commercial street planted with trees in
preparation for the 1962 Worid's Fair. Similar, but
unp�anted, parallel streets displayed no significant
change.s A city might likewise use trees as a cost-
ef(ective means to solten or hide unattractive
features. Several years ago, the New York Port
Authority Instalied 79,393 Irees and olher planis
in the parking and terminal drive areas o( lhe
Newark International Airport.� The effect is strik-
ing and improves Ihe world traveler's first reaction
to the Jersey meadows. There has been almost
no research into ihe impact o1 trees or tree pro-
grams on inveslor choice, nor has there been
careful evalua�ion of the economic results of major
landscaping efforts.
A second policy goal tor Dayton and other cities
is neighborhood vitality. In view of a monumental
invesiment in housing stock, public infrastructure,
and public services, cilies are fighting to keep
iheir residential neighborhoods viable and com-
, petitive. Mature lrees are an asset older city
, neighborhoods o(ten have which cannot be found
in newly developing areas. Not on�y are ihese
irees a public asset, in their contribution to resi-
dent evaluations of a neighborhood's desirability,
attractiveness and uniqueness, they are also a
private asset to the extent they coniribute to pro-
' perty values.
There was been little quanti0cation of the con•
tribution trees make to an urban dweller's satisfac-
tion with his neighborhood, the e((ect trees have
, on decisions lo live in a given place, or exaclly
what impact they have on property values or the
' willingness of linancial and insurance institutions
� to support urban investments. A5 aging foresls
decline and begin �o disappear, it would be uselul
to know to what extent dissatis(action and
disinvestment follow. Dayton has a program called
"Neighborhood Initiative," in which
nelghborhoods compete for 575,000 public in•
vestments, matched by camparable im-
provements to private property. Trees have con-
s(stently been the most requested public improve•
ment in the program. This chofce, made im
dependently by the neighborhoods, underscores
lhe assumption Ihat trees do piay a role in
nelghborhood vitality aithough that role is not well
r�
Bartenstein: Future ot .,rban Foresiry
understood.
If a city were lo attempt sirategic management
of ils forest for neighborhood vitality, it mighl iden-
tify and concentrate on those areas where a
mature lorest is ihe most distinclive element o( a
nei9hborhood's character. The city might also
seek to link torestry improvement with other pro-
grams targeted in a given neighborhood, or at
least ensure that new efforts are not undermined
by (orest decline. A city might seek ways to get
residenis interested and involved in forest
management decisions (or their neighborhoods,
perhaps to lhe extent ol special assessments, or
direct participation in lree care.
In some neighborhoods irees are not valued,
and may even represent a liability. In parlicular
cases, trees may be disliked for their lack of
geometric symmetry or Iheir inteAerence with ar-
chitecture or scenic views. Senior citizens may
find it hard to contend with leaves or other Iitter
trees generale. These prelerences should be
taken into account in (orest management deci-
sfons. In some areas, reduction or even elimina-
tion ol trees might represenl a contribution to
neighborhood vitality.
A third policy goal for Dayton fs maintenance of
the city's unique characler. The downtown area,
the rivers, certain historic structures and other
landmarks, and heterogeneity in terms ol race,
ethnic background, culture and economic level
are considered distinctive characteristics worthy
of preservation and promotion by the local govern•
ment. This goai also presumes ihe maintenance
and enhancement of public amenities, which ofler
rewards (rom living in the city which transcend
those available from everyday working and home
lile. Public amenities inclyde cultural institutions,
parks and other recreational lacilities, a high quali•
ty of educational opportunities, entertainment and
nighllife.
The urban forest can offer ameniry value
beyond its contribution to other goals. Landscap•
ing can enhance Ihe appeal of the city's architec•
ture, topography, landmarks and distinctive
naturat leatures. Trees can bring form, cotor and
movement to an inanfmate cityscape. They can
draw the eye to desirable views and screen those
which are undesirable. A well developed and

managed urban forest can be an amenity asset
without regard fo its comportent parts. The resi•
dent or visitor looking out over a green city will
note, and probably value, that characteristic.
Measurement of aeslhetic appeal is a difficult
prospect as is development of management
guidelines to maximize amenity values. A lack of
aesthetic appeal in modern cities may reflect the
di(ficulty ol defining and managing for fhat
characteristic,
Until more is known, the most a city can do to
strategically enhance (orest amenity is ensure ifs
planners are well endowed with design skilis. A
lorest manager, in prioritizing resources lor ameni•
ty, might concentrate on identified landmarks, the
, city's most distinctive features (such as
downtown or the rivers) and views from high
. places and major transportation corridors. Special
, attention might also be given to trees which have
acquired landmark status by their age, location,
rarity, or role in history,
A fourth policy goal in Dayton is urban conserva•
tion, or the wise and eff(cient use of resources.
While obJectives under this goal speak to preven•
� tive ma(ntenance ot the cfry's capital plant, they
also cover energy conservation and protection of
the urban environment. The least understood
I benelits of the urban (orest are those offered to
� ciry health and liveability. In princfple, urban
vegetat(on should help moderate humidity, reduce
the speed and volume of water runoff, reduce air
poilution concentration, and absorb enough solar
radiation to substantially reduce energy demand
for space cooling. In addition, vegetation can con•
tribute to lhe comfort of individuals by providing
shade, windbreak, sound absorption, and an a�ter-
native to heabradiating concrete and asphalt sur•
faces.
Environmental bene(its of trees
In Germany, the Netheriands, and other parts of
the world, Ihe beneficial c�imatological eflects of
the urban lorest are consfdered in land use
policy.12 As land becomes more scarce and
energy costs rise, citizens become more aware of
the temperature and quality of air in citles. Cities in
competition lor economic development end

climate and its impact on their viability.
The Dayton Climate Project, begun in 1976, fs
evaluating and appiying methods for enhancing ur-
ban liveability through modi(ication of ihe city's
suAaces and structures. Early in the project, trees
were recognized lor their potential coniributions
lo the urban climate, and the reiative ease with
which their configuration can be modified within
lhe existing cityscape. In Iate 1979, Dr. John
Flynn, a(orest meteorologist, was stationed by
the USDA Forest Service in Dayton for 18 months
to organize existing knowledge and recommend
slrategies lor the use ol trees in urban ciimate
enhancement.
It is too early to give loresters much guidance in
how the urban forest might best be managed for
environmental benefiL At this point, it can only be
that more trees are better, and that for better air
quality and reduced summer air temperatures, ef-
(ort should be concentrated in the city's upwind
sector. Cosbbenefit ratios are not known, but it
would be valuable to calculate elfects o( an urban
(orest on a citys energy budget, and lor air quality
planning, the amount of pollution reduction that
could be attributed to ihe existing urban forest. In
areas of the city where pedestrian comfort is im-
portant (such as the central business district and
neighborhood play areas) urban foresters can
easily demonstrate obvious benefits of trees and
other vegetation.
I have identified four areas in which the urban
forest can offer strategic response to urban
needs. Be(ore an urban forest management .
strategy can be complete, however, it must in•
clude mechanisms for comparing the eflic(ency of
lorest strategies to other methods for enhancing a
city's economic vilaiity,'neighborhood vitality, unl•
que character and physical environment. There
must also be consideration given to the costs an
urban forest imposes on the local government, its
citizens and other urban services.
Cost:benelit ratlos
Control of management costs must be ad-
dressed in any urban lorest strategy. An entire ci•
ty's budget couid be spent in pursuing just one of
the goals mentioned above. A workeble urban
lorest plan must allocate the expenditure ol

266
dollars, time and personnel to produce the most
etfective package o( bene(its at a defensible cost.
The best way to defend lorestry•related expen•
ditures would be to demonsirale how lhey
achieve a desired result at less cost than alterna•
tive means for achieving that resulL This approach
cannot be pursued without the reliable data which
has so lar been lacking in ihe urban forestry (ield.
We can, however, apply common-sense criteria
when priorilizin9 urban forestry expenditures. The
Iwo most imporlant questions mighl be "Who
paysl" and "Who benefitsl"
Trees on private land provide the greatest
� benefit to property owners. It has iraditionally
�. been the property owner who chooses, inslalls,
; maintains, and replaces private trees. Public
benefits, however, clearly result Irom these pri•
' vate investments. It might be far more efficienl for
the local government to provide educational infor•
, mation, technical advice, or even assistance in ihe
purchase, planting and maintenance of private
j irees lhan it would for a city to achieve equivalent
� results through ihe installation and permanent
� management of public trees.
� In Dayton, streel trees are Iega�ly the resporn
� sibiity of adjoining property owners. We have
� learned that except in rare cases (usually in high
� fncome, owner-occupied neighborhoods�, the
' quality and consistency of maintenance is not su1•
j licient to ensure survival of our street tree stock.
! Private street tree repiacement has been almost
� non•existent. The economies of scale available to
a large tree manager make common maintenance
' lar more coshefficient.
Neighborhoods which desire a high level of tree
care should be encouraged to create benefit•
assessment districls which would provide for
shared or totally private funding lhrough a
management contract with the city, or a priva:e
tree service. The case for such assessmenl
districts can be made by demonsirating the "new
prolit" a property owner could realize through
contributions of irees to his real es�ate's value,
and the savings in wst and elbrt available to him
through the district. The local government should
limit its financial responsibiiity to those areas in
whlch the prfvate sector cannol act, or (n which
public benefits clearly oulweigh the costs of pro•
Bartenstein: Future ot urban Forestry
viding forestry service. -
There are resources lhat can be lapped to
stretch lhe public dollar, or ensure continuation o(
an otherwise lhreatened forest amenity. These
are lhe corporate and voluntary sectors, which
stand to reap promolional or intrinsic rewards from
"adopt a block," "adopt a tree," or "adopl a park"
programs. Partnership with local government to
ensure survival or enhancement of public land•
scaping is not a new idea. Frederick Law
Olmsted's 1882 pamphlet, Spofls o/ the Park,
documented New York City's failures to ade-
quately repair drains, provide police supervision,
control vandalism and avoid the death and over-
growth ol Ceniral Park's vegetalion. A private
Cenlral Park association has been aclive since
1902 in supplementing municipal maintenance of
that priceless resource.z
A cost•elfective management slrategy would
aiso seek opportunities for the forest to help pay
its own costs. Wood products such as tirewood,
Christmas irees, pulp, leaf mulch, and even raw
building materials might be profitably investigaled
and developed by urban forest managers, de•
pending upon Iocai conditions and markets.
Control of management cost implies the design
and redesign of vegetation systems to require the
least possibte maintenance for the level and type
of benefit desired. Areas in which masses of
vegetation are planled for their effecl on air
temperature or air quality do not require the level
of care given to landscaping aimed at increasing
economic vitality of a cily's commercial core.
Forest investments are lypically long-term in their
cosl and benelit implications. An excellent case
can be made for placing a high priority upon pian-
ning and des(gn, and ensu�ing the capacity of per-
sonnel assigned to those functions. Enhancement
oi the local urban forest management environment
is one of the greatest contributions researchers
and state and federal governments can make to
the control of urban forestry costs.
Develop management stralegles
An urban forest management strategy which de-
finea how trees can best serve urban needs and
how management costs can besl be conlro�led is
still missing one very important dimenslon, and

one which has resulted in numerous setbacks tor
the urban torest in the recent history of cities.
That dimension is the conlrol of external costs. Ur-
ban foresl managers must develop the ability to
anticipate, control, and in some cases justity ihe
costs trees impose upon cilizens and other public
services.
The most critical area o( concern in controlling
external cost is lhat of pubiic safety. Public safety
has been previously mentioned as one of the
highest prioriry concerns for urban dwellers.
There can be no question that trees pose a hazard
lo the occupants of a speeding automobile. Under
certain conditions they can create a fire risk that
would not olherwise exist. Trees and other
vegetation can aiso reduce lhe ability of police to
provide surveillance of public spaces or
neighborhood streets. Urban torest plans, through
anlicipation and control of safety risks, can avoid
conflict within city bureaucracies or in public
forums, without substantial reduction in lhe many
benefils the trees provide.
Similarly, urban forest managers must include in
their cosl•benefit calculations impacts upon utility
service, street sweeping, storm sewers, slreet
lighting and olher municfpal services. Urban forest
pians shouid demonstrate that benetits or income
provided through the program offset costs
elsewhere in the public service network.
Another element whfch needs to be considered
in the control of extemal costs is the potential for
negative fmpacts upon citizens and businesses.
Blockage of signs, views, and architecture is one
kind of negative impact. Also to be considered is
lhe time and money spent in raking leaves, repair-
ing windstorm damage, or repairing the utilily ser•
vices damaged by trees.
In Dayton and other cities, existfng urban
(orestry programs can be evaluated for thetr con•
tribution to lhe Gty's economic vitality,
nefghborhood vitelity, unique character and
2s�
liveabilily. We can also evaluate how well exfsling
programs control management and external costs.
Calculations of cost and benefit, and the resulting
prioritization of resources, al this point can only be
educated guesses unlil more is known about the
urban forest and its measureable impact.
Educated guesses, however, should improve
public salis(action and our day-lo•day manage-
ment of the forest wilhin existing resources.
Educated guesses and well conceived programs
mighl even increase the number of dollars
allocated to urban forestry.
In the future, lhe competition for public funds
and citizen demand for efficient use of lhose
funds will require urban forest managers to equip
themselves wilh more lhan guesses. The
research task is substanlial, but in my view ab•
solutely essential lo lhe survival of urban forestry.
That survival will rely less upon new knowledge of
how to care lor trees than it will upon new
knowiedge of how trees help to care for people.

INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION
DECEMDER 7, 1981
INFORh1AL COUNCIL DISCUSSION: December 7, 1981, at 2:30 P.M. in the Conference
Room at the Civic Center. Mayor John Balmer presiding.
COUNCILMEMDERS PRESENT: Balmer, Roberts, Neuhauser, Vevera, Perret-2:35 PM,
Lynch-4:00 PM, Erdahl-4:10 PM. Councilmembers-elect: McDonald, Dickson-3:00 P14.
Staffinembers present: Derlin, Stolfus, Doothroy, Franklin, Hauer, Schmadeke.
TAPE-RECORDED ON Reels �81-13, Side �2, 1009-End, and Reel fil-15, Side 1, 1-44.
APPLICATIONS TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 1009-1592
Parking Requirements/Clinics Regarding Item 5a, off-street parking require-
ments for clinics, Boothroy stated that Bob Ogeson had surveyed the Towncrest
area. Existing businesses would be grandfathered-in. He will check regarding
existing regulations in other cominunities.
Airport Overlay Zone 600throy advised that the airport overlay zone was model-
ed after DOT standards and had been revie�•�ed by the Airport Co�nission and
Planning and Zoning. The base maps and flight patterns are over County land,
so the material will be sent to the County for consideration. In this plan,
80-90% of the traffic will be on one runway. In the future, high-rise build-
ings in this area might have to apply for a variance from the Board of Adjust-
ment. Problems should be worked out before the Ordinance is adopted.
Ord. Changing Name of Street A change in the Ordinance changing the name of a
street o-ias explained. Instead of Cayman Drive, it should be Caymen Street.
There were no objections.
Rezoning University Baptist Church propertY There �aere no objections filed ��iith
the Clerk regarding the rezoning of the University Daptist Church property at
l4estgate/Denton corner.
Rezoning property at Scott Dlvd./Court St. There were no objections filed
regarding the rezoning of this property for Plum Grove Acres.
Northside Moratorium Because the six-month time limitation period ti•ias dropped
when the Northside Moratorium ordinance was codified, Staff now requests can-
cellation of the moratorium. There were no objections. Staff had been enforcin9.
Oakes Meadow and Waters First Subds. The developers are satisfied with the
resolutions approving the pre iminary plans for Oakes Meadow and lJaters First
Addn.
Court Hill-Scott Boulevard UIII Boothroy explained that regarding item Sh,
the fina LSRD p an for Court Hill-Scott Doulevard VIII, the attorney wanted
the text of the resolution to read "Preliminary Plat", not "Plan", so the
resolution was being submitted.
SUDDIVISION FEE STUDY Staff requested direction regarding increase in fees for
submissions to P anning and Zoning Comm. and to the Doard of Adjustment. Accord-
ing to the survey presented previously, other cities are unde rviriting more of
the costs than Iowa City does, and the Iowa City proposed fees �aere based on
staff time actually used, with a flat fee proposed.
Franklin explained charges for the preliminary plat and for the final plat-
submitted separately or in combination. The City Manager noted that the
survey process followed was accurate, but it was a policy question for Council
whether or not the application costs would be fully funded by fees or what
percentage the City would pay. Several Councilmembers thought the increase
�

proposed �aas high and should be
was interested in streamlining
used. Franklin stated that use
to the developer to comply with
Informal Council
December 7, 1981
discussed each year at budget time. Perret
the review process to cut down on staff time
of a charge-back procedure would be an incentive
regulations.
Councilwoman-elect Dickson present, 3:00 PM.
Qoothroy added that fees set by Resolution �aould be easier to change. Now we
amend an ordinance, publish it and codify it, and these costs o-iould be elim-
inated. The consensus of Council o-�as that the Staff should ���ork out a proposal
that would be an incentive to the developer, then come back to Council with it.
VOTItJG PRECINCT BOUNDARIES
Boothroy explained that input received from those present at a meeting to 1592-��00
review the proposal, had been incorporated into the map. Perret questioned
if the Election Comnissioner would notify all the voters whose precincts are
being changed. Polling places for Precincts 2,9, & 17 were discussed, the
consensus was that the Election Commissioner could establish the polling
places where he wanted them. Council will adopt the ordinance with all three
considerations, to comply with State Law regarding adoption of changes, as
it is to be sent to the State Cortmissioner before Dec. 31, 1981.
AGENDA/COUNCIL BUSINESS
l. City Clerk Stolfus distributed a corrected resolution for the Ralston
Creek Industrial Revenue [ionds, all amounts should be 52>000,000.
2. Regarding the letter from McDonalds, the City and the State jointly
�aill decide on the plan. The two-way turn is not workable. DOT had
previously planned a median and all businesses o-iere notified at that
time.
3. City Manager Derlin suggested that the City could reimburse the Elderly
Services for snow removal for elderly who qualify and proposed that Elderly
Services put this item in their budget for next year. Councilmembers
concurred with the memo written by Human Services Coordinator Ramser
on 11-24-81
1700-1893
4. The ordinance increasing penalty from 55 to q15 for unauthorized parking
in handicapped spaces was discussed Neuhauser thought the penalty should
be added to the signs. Roberts suggested surveying use of present handi-
capped parking stalls in the ramp, as many are oftentimes empty. Staff
will report.
5. Parking for Johnson Office on Iowa Avenue tvas discussed. Only in front
of his office wil) be acceptable, Council decided.
6. Lynch was chosen as the Councilmember representative to attend the Comnittee
on Conmunity Needs meetings, with Erdahl as alternate.
7. A representative from Amelia Earhart Deli tvas present to request addition to
the consent calendar of a license for Special Sunday Sales/aeer-Wine. The
Clerk stated that his papers were in order. The Mayor agreed to the addition,
and there were no objections from Councilmembers.
LEGISLATIVE ISSUES
For discussion with area legislators on December 15th, agenda items
priority will include (1) local option tax, (2) liability of cities,
(Neuhauser will distribute an article from the Iowa Law Review), and
State assistance for transit. Council will reiterate its opposition
limits on taxation.

PLAZA TOWNERS ASSOCIATES PROGRESS REPORT
Informal Council
December 7, 1981
Freda Hieronymus and Attorney Oehler present. Hieronymus stated that they
are still working on financing for the Hotel/Armstrongs project. Armstrongs
want to open their store by the fall of 1983. She pointed out that the
market has been poor for the sale of bonds, and discussed their difficulty
in planning for use of Industrial Revenue Donds for a several million dollar
bond issue. The time deadline in the contract calls for signing the contract
by February 16, 1982, and issuance of IRD's by Idarch 18, 1982. The contract
calls for building the hotel and Armstrongs as one package.
ALTERNATIVES TO NEIJ SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
Consultant Jim Kimm from Veenstra & Kimm present. In answer to several
questions, Kirmi stated that Reagan's modified proposal, not accepting
expansion for growth would not affect Iowa City that much, but Iowa City
could compromise and design for ten years in the future and not for as much
industrial expansion. City Manager Berlin advised that the City could live
with either the Senate or House proposal. Kimn commented that on the State
priority system, Iowa City does not have a high priority, altho Des Moines
is not as ready as Iowa City, they are a higher priority.
Councilman Lynch present, 4:00 PM.
2093-2283
2283-2692
Kinnn said that Iowa City's treatment plant is toward the end of its useful
life, and does not always meet the standards, and Iowa City should plan what
to do in the interim until Federal funding does come. In answer to the question
�ahether or not Iowa City should purchase the land for the site, he thought
Iowa City should be able to show the federal government that it has a piece
of land.
Councilman Erdahl present, 4:10 PM.
Kimm thought that the disposal of the federal portion of funding would be
dictated by Congress. Although in some grant formulas the federal share will
be reduced 10%, this will not apply to Iowa City as we are in Step 2 of our
Plan already. Any lobbying should be on the Federal level as the State is
interested in supply of water, saving soil, etc. Several Councilmembers eiere
not interestedin funding a study for an alternate plan. The Mayor advised
that the City would not proceed with the contract as proposed on the agenda,
until things are clearer for a course of action.
APPOINTMENTS TO 40ARDS AND COMMISSIONS
Councilmembers agreed on the following appointments: Doard of Adjustment-
Mitligan. No letters are to be written to the other applicants, as another
appointment will be made at the next Council meeting. Doard of Appeals-
Ellarson; Doard of Examiners of Plumbers-Kondora for Journeyman. The
vacancy for citizen representative will be readvertised. Senior Center
Comn.-Clover and Coen. Human Rights Comm.-Futrell, Raupp and Gill. Pakrs
and Recreation Comm.-Martin, Jennings. Resources Conservation Comm.-Gart-
land and Sheehan as present members who have served the shortest term, and
Singerman and Parsons, new appointments.

7APE-RECORDED ON Reels H81-13, Side N2, 1009-End, and Reel 81-15, Side 1, 1-44.
APPLICATIONS TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
Parkina Re uirement_ s��s Regarding Item Sa, off-street parking require- �009-1592
ments for clim cs, Boothroy stated that Bob Ogeson had surveyed the Towncrest
area. Existing businesses would be grandfathered-in. He wi11 check regarding
existing regulations in other comnunities.
Airport Overlay Zone Boothro d'
e6 arter �OT standards and had beensreviewedtby thePAirportr pryimissionaandodel-
Planning and Zoning.' 7he base maps and flight patterns are over County land,
so the material wi11 be sent to the County for consideration. In this plan,
80-90% of the traffic will be on one runway. In the future, high-rise build-
ings in Ehis area might have to apply for a variance from the Board of Adjust-
ment. Problems should be worked out before the Ordinance is adopted.
Ord. Chan in Name of Street A change in the Ordinance changing the name of a
street was exp aine . Instead of Cayman Drive, it should be Caymen Street.
There were no objections.
Rezonina Universitv Baptist Church �ropertv There were no objections filed with
the Clerk regarding the rezoning of the University Baptist Church property at
Westgate/Benton corner.
Rezoninq property at Scott Blvd /Courr cr
regardtng the rezom ng of th�s property for P1umeGrove Acres�ections filed
Northside Moratorium Because the six-month time limitation period was dropped
when the Northsi e Moratorium ordinance was codified, Staff nav requests can-
cellation of the moratorium. There were no objections. Staff had been enforcing.
Oakes Meadow and Waters First Subds. The developers are satisfied with the
reso utions approving the pre im�nary plans for Oakes Meadav and Waters First
Addn.
Court Hi11-Scott Boulevard VIII Boothroy explained that regarding item Sh,
the ina LSRD p an for Court Hill-Scott Boulevard VIII, the attorney wanted
the text of the resolution to read "Preliminary Piat", not "p�an", so the
resolution was being submitted.
SUBDIVISION FEE STUDY Staff requested direction regarding increase in fees for
submissions to P ann ng and Zoning Comm, and to the Board of Adjustment. Accord-
ing to the survey presented previously, other cities are undenvriting more of
staff�timetactually used,dwith anflatefeeWproposedroposed fees were based on
Franklin explained charges for the preliminary plat and for the final plat-
submitted separately or in combination. The City Manager noted that the
survey process followed was accurate, but it was a policy question for Council
whether or not the app�ication costs would be fully funded by fees or what
percentage the City would pay. Several Councilmembers thought the increase

discussed each year at budget time, perret
the review process to cut down on staff time
of a charge-back procedure would be an incentive
regulations.
Councilwoman-elect Dickson present, 3:00 PM.
Boothroy added that fees set by Resolution would be easier to change. Now we
amend an ordinance, publish it and codify it, and these costs would be elim-
inated. The consensus of Council was that the Staff should work out a proposal
that would be an incentive to the developer, then come back to Council with it.
VOTING PRECINCT BOUNDARIES
Boothroy exp ained that input received from those present at a meeting to 159Z-��00
ifVthe Election�Comnissaonernwouldrnotifydalltthehvoters whoseeprecinctsnare
being changed. Polling places for Precincts 2,9, & 17 were discussed, the
consensus was that the Election Cortmissioner could establish the pollipg
places where he wanted them. Council will adopt the ordinance with all three
considerations, to comply with State Law regarding adoption of changes, as
it is to be sent to the State Comnissioner before Dec. 31, lggl,
AGENDA/COUNCIL BUSINESS
1. City Clerk Stolfus distributed a corrected resolution for the RaTston ��00-1893
Creek Industrial Revenue Bonds, all amounts should be q2,000,000.
z• Regarding the letter from McOonalds, the City and the State jointly
will decide on the p1an. The two-way turn is not workable. D07 had
previously planned a median and all businesses were notified at that
time.
3• City Manager Berlin suggested that the City could reimburse the Elderly
Services for snow removal for elderly who qualify and proposed that Elderly
Services put this item in their budget for next year. Councilmembers
concurred with the memo written by Human Services Coordinator Ramser
on 11-24-81.
4. The ordinance increasing penalty from $5 to $15 for unauthorized parking
in handicapped spaces was discussed, Neuhauser thought the penalty should
be added to the signs. Roberts suggested surveying use of present handi-
capped parking stalls in the ramp, as many are oftentimes empty. Staff
will report.
5. Parking for Johnson Office on Iava Avenue was discussed. Only in front
of his office will be acceptable, Council decided.
6• Lynch was chosen as the Councilmember representative to attend the Comnittee
on Comnunity Needs meetings, with Erdahl as alternate.
7. A representative from Amelia Earhart Deli was present to'request addition to
the consent calendar of a license for Special Sunday Sales/Beer-Wine. The
Clerk stated that his papers were in order. The Mayor agreed to the addition,
and there were no objections from Councilmembers.
LEGISLATIVE ISSUES
For discussion with area legislators on December 15th, agenda items
priority wi11 include (1) 1oca1 option tax, (2) liability of cities,
(Neuhauser wi11 distribute an article from the Iowa Law Review), and
State assistance for transit. Council will reiterate its opposition

PLAZA TOWNERS ASSOCIATES PROGRESS REPORT
Informal Council
December 7, 1981
Freda Hieronymus and Attorney Oehler present. Hieronymus stated that they
are still working on financing for the Hotel/Armstrongs project. Armstrongs
want to open their store by the fall of 1983. She pointed out that the
market has been poor for the sale of bonds, and discussed their difficulty
in planning for use of Industrial Revenue Bonds for a several million dollar
bond issue. The time deadline in the contract calls for signing the contract
by February 16, 1982, and issuance of IRB's by March 18, 1982. The contract
calls for building the hotel and Armstrongs as one package.
2093-2283
ALTERNATIVES TO NEW SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT 2283-2692
Consultant Jim Kirtm from Veenstra & Kimn present. In answer to several
questions, Kimn stated that Reagan's modified proposat, not accepting
expansion for growth woutd not affect Iowa City that much, but Iowa City
could compromise and design for ten years in the future and not for as much
industrial expansion. City Manager Berlin advised that the City could live
with either the Senate or House proposal. Kimn cortmiented that on the State
priority system, Iowa City does not have a high priority, al.tho Des Moines
is not as ready as Iowa City, they are a higher priority.
Counciiman Lynch present, 4:00 PM.
� Kimn said that Iowa City's'treatment plant is toward the end of its useful
; life, and does not always meet the standards, and Iowa City should plan what
f to do in the interim until federal funding does come. In answer to the question
i whether or not Iowa City should purchase the land for the site, he thought
� Iowa City should be able to show the federal government that it has a piece
of land.
Councilman Erdahl present, 4:10 PM.
� � Kimn thought that the disposal of the federal portion of funding would be
dictated by Congress. Although in some grant formulas the federal share will
be reduced IOX, this will not apply to Iowa City as we are in Step Z of our
� Plan already. Any lobbying should be on the Federal level as the State is
interested in supply of water, saving soil, etc. Several Councilmembers were
not interestedin funding a study for an alternate plan. The Mayor advised
that the City would not proceed with the contract as proposed on the agenda,
until things are clearer for a course of action.
APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
Councilmembers agreed on the following appointments: Board of Adjustment-
Milligan. No letters are to be written to the other applicants, as another
appointment will be made at the next Council meeting. Board of Appeals-
Ellarson; Board of Examiners of Plumbers-Kondora for Journeyman. The
vacancy for citizen representative will be readvertised. •Senior Center

to purchase a small amount of space near the building to assure parking.
The renovation of the buildin9 will have to conform to the Buil.ding Code.
COUNCIL BUSINESS
1. The Mayor called attention to the executive session on Thursday at
4 PM. Steve Rynecki will be here to discuss the AFSCME and Police
collective bargaining contracts.
2. Thursday is also the meeting of the East Central Iowa Council'of
Governments. Comments were made regarding future and funding for
JCCOG. At a recent meeting, City representatives gave a recomnenda-
tion on the option they favored.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS 167-1310
The City Manager stated that he would go thru all the projects and
Council could cortment on priority as listed or ask questions.
Item 1. Bus Maintenance �ilding-This project will be in limbo until a
. major source of funding for the overall project is available.
2. Remodeling of the Police Oepartment-After discussion of the
Space Study next week, if there are no plans for the near future, '
funding should be added to the operating budget for ceiling and
lights.
3. Traffic Engineering-Service Bay Renovation-If the transit build-
ing is situated at the Equipment Maintenance Service Building
area, there might be a shifting of other facilities, so staff
will not proceed on this request.
4. Camp Cardinal Road Bridge-This bridge serves four families, and
has been repaired. An alternative project might be possible
after FW518 has been built. Repair of any bridges in Iowa City
is'not high on the IDOT list of bridges to be repaired with
State funding.

5. Schmadeke advised that this storm sewer had failed and has
to be replaced.-Dodge St./Ralston Creek Repair.
6. & 7. Iowa Ave. Bridge and Burlington St. Bridge. The estimate
for this reconstruction includes an increase for inflation. The
proposat for Iowa Avenue is being prepared by Engr. Schmadeke.
10. & 11. A memo explaining these has been received from Staff.
Council requested alternatives for the Governor/Burlington
Signalization, but agreed to proceeding with the Highway 6/Fair-
meadows Signelization with State participation in funding.
12. Funding will be used to purchase right-of-way for Foster Road
between Dubuque and Prairie du Chien Road. This is not
Glasgow's property.
13. Dubuque St. Reconstruction-7he asphalt removed will be used to
pave parking lots. No other streets would be done next year.
Balmer called attention to the condition of First Avenue.
Neuhauser pointed out that motorists are not using the right
lane of N. Dubuque because of the deep dips for catch-basins.
Schmadeke advised that the City is not keeping up with repair
and maintenance of alt the streets because of limited financing.
14. Kimball Road Curb and Sidewalk Improvements-The final word for
the explanation paragraph should be 'assessment'. There is
limited right-of-way to widen this street, which is narrower
than Melrose Court. Property.owners can be assessed for the
work. Schmadeke advised that the curb should be installed
first and to do that, the sidewalk would have to be removed,
as it is next to the curb. This is a walkway to school.
18. Railroad Crossing Improvements-F�rst Avenue. State will now
fund 1/3 of cost. Council did not think this crossing was bad
enough to repair.
20,21,22-Linn, Dubuque and Clinton Street Improvements-There was
general agreement by Council to participate in funding for
repair of sidewalks on Dubuque Street by issuance of G.O. Bonds
if there was participation from the merchant,. Staff could
repackage this project regarding funding for sidewalks, vault,
' public amenities, li,ghting, participation by Project Green and
property owners. A comnitment has been made to do Linn St.
23. Blackhawk Minipark-Council questioned spending this proposed
money. Only temporary work will be done.
24. CBD Alley Project, Final Phase-City Manager Berlin will check
on which black the work will be done.
25. New Swimning Pool City Park-Showalter stated that the fee for
one admission to a'Wave-Tek' pool could be from 43 to y5.
Councilmembers favored a fee at a leyel that could be afford-
ed by everyone. Some Councilmertbers wanted to investigate
building a pool which could be used year-round.
26. Racquetball/Handball Courts-As the University will be providing
more racquetball courts, the Council questioned keeping this
item in the CIP schedule. It was suggested that in future .
surveys, various improvements be listed for citizens to rank
priority. Neuhauser called attention to complaints that there
are no provisions for ice-skating in Iowa City.
27. Napoleon Park-Staff has completed building of the Mercer Park
Maintenance Bldg. Showalter was directed to move the flagpole
from Happy Hollow Park to Mercer Park. The City Manager was
requested to explore the possibility of offers of funding from
agencies and service clubs who wish to contribute to city
improvements (such as park improvements).

28 & 29. Miller Park and Aber Park. Showalter wi11 be reporting
next month on how park land can be acquired. Elm Grove Park
was not sold, so there was no start for a p�rk acquisition
fund. Balmer called attention to continuing to explore joint
use af schaol grounds.
33 thru 36. Bikeways-Sources of funding have not been identified.
Regarding the RocKy Shore Bikeway, Project Green has been talk-
ing with the University. Berlin thought recycled asphalt would
not be satisfactory for a bikeway. Use of receipts from bicycle
licensing, and a possible raise in fees was discussed. This will
be scheduled far discussion with the bicycle groups.
37. Wastewater Treatment Facility-City Manager Berlin relayed the
present status regarding federal funding for Iowa City. It is
sti11 at the 75% federal funding. Regarding the site, regula-
tions currently require that the land be acquired or be in
process of condemnation by the time the City is at Step 3 of
the grant. He advised waiting to see what bill the President
accepts.
38. University Height, Interceptor Sewer-This needs to be constructed
before the Benton/Riverside intersection is started. It should
be called the Benton Street Interceptor.
41. North Corridor Sewer-Extension was discuss.ed in conjunction with
the Oakes Subdivision. Berlin and Schmadeke clarified that this
extension is needed to serve the Oakes development, as the River
Corridor Sewer stops at Taft Speedway. '
42. East Side Trunk Sewer-Elimination of 4200' of deteriorated sani-
tary sewer from the Treatment Plant to Iowa Ave., wi11 necessitate
transferring University buildings to the new Corridor Sewer.
This project was not done in conjunction with the Corridor Sewer
as it was not eligible for federal funding. The trade-off with
the University regarding sludge from the University Wastewater
Treatment Plant did not work out.
43. Southwest Interceptor Sewer replacement-This services Mark IV
Apts. primarily and the West Side Lift Station dumps into it.
Development west wi11 tie into this line. Is a priority as it
may collapse. The sewer for the Johnson County Home already
t?es into this line, and the replacement will start at that
tie-in and go to Mark IV.
44. Taft Speedway Sanitary Sewer Extension. There are no plans to
replace the road surface.
46 thru 49. Airport Improvements. The Master Plan, Council has
• indicated it would put some money aside for this, and there wi11
be a request in the operating budget. The Runway Crack Sealing
• should be a priority, and this was taken into'account as the
• operating budget,for the Airport was prepared. Berlin suggested
that T-hangar construction be financed some other way.
COUNCIL Bl1SINESS
Neuhauser questioned when the letter and questions from Leon Lyvers
would be discussed. Berlin said that Showalter would be discussing
these at budget time. We are not keeping up with trimming,
replacement. Balmer commented that this could be an area for
service club's assistance. Berlin called attention to an offer
from Project Green to assume maintenance for all plantings they've
done.
Roberts asked how well the �ompressed natural gas project was
working. Berlin replied that it was not doing as well as had been

expected. There are some problems in fueling. Pick-up and speed
are not as good. Berlin stated that he had no technical informa-
tion regarding propane vs. natural gas. Helling advised that use
of natural gas is more cost-efficient on high-mileage vehicles.
It will be tried on some of the pickup's.
3. Mose's memo regarding small buses was discussed. Council would
sti11 like to buy a smail bus and test it out.

COUNCIL LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
December 15, 1981
COUNCIL LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE: December 15, 1981, at.8:45 A.M. at the
Highlander Inn. Mayor John Balmer presiding.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT: Neuhauser, Balmer, Perret. Absent: None
LEGISLATORS PRESENT: Senator Arthur Small, Representative Jean Lloyd-Jones,
Representative Minette Ooderer.
STAFFMEMBERS PRESENT: City Manager Berlin, City Clerk Abbie Stolfus,
Assistant City Manager Dale Helling.
Mayor Balmer called attention to the agenda provided for the meeting.
He questioned what the state function would be in handling the block
grants. The Appropriation Comnittee has appointed a sub-committee, and
this cortonittee is sending a questionnaire to local officials so that
problems can be identi.fied.
Regarding passage of a Local Option Tax bill, it was pointed out that cities
have not taken advantage of hotel-motel tax. Balmer thought that it was
possible that there was not so much opposition to it as previously.
Doderer pointed out proposal for ld across the board sales tax. Iowa
� City did not want to impose hotel/motel tax unless Coralville did. This
, would need a referendum. Perret suggested a wheel tax.
I Cost of two levels of government (City and County) was noted. Certain
areas of cooperation could be investigated. The coimnent was made that
it was wasteful to add two more supervisors, and that it was even hard
ta get two cities to combine.
ISmall noted that the bill regarding tort liability Had passed the Senate.
! Neuhauser will send a copy of the Iowa Law Review article written by Oan
! Ellis to the legislators.
i
f Municipal Assistance was appropriated for twa years, so should be the same
! unless the Governor makes an across the board cut. It is a problem as
the federal budget is not yet set.
� City Mgr. Berlin questioned who was in charge at Department of Environmental
�1 quality. Small advised going thru Stanek at OPP. If necessary, cities
might be given a delay in time for certifying the budget.
Regarding funding for Mass Transit, the legislators thought there would be
no change in the appropriation. They also suggested that cities join
for•ces to lobby. There was discussion of the Land Use bill. The League's
participation was suggested. Small explained a tie-in to tax abatement
as has been done in the East U.S.
It was decided that the next meeting would be in February.
Meeting adjourned, 10:00 A.M.

MATTERS PENUING COUNCI(.-COMMISSION DISPOSITION:
The Extension Policy being negatiated with ATC (American Television and
Communications Corporation) and formulated by Hawkeye Cablevisian will
need to be approved by the BTC and the City Council. A communication has
been sent by Brown of the City of Iowa City legal staff informing ATC of
the City's position. We are currently awaiting for ATC's respanse.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTION TAKEN:
The first Access Iowa City (AIC) general membership meet'ing was announced
to be November 30, 1981, 7:00 PM in the Iowa City public library. Tiffany
presented a memo from the Iowa City public library to the BTC and a
proposal from the ICPL to the City both concerning a request for a portian
of the cable franchise fee to the City to be used to support ICPL's
efforts and cable access areas. Shaffer reported that there has been no
response from ATC regarding the Extension Policy. Ten complaints were
received by the BTS last month, concerning UPI data channels value;
satellite channel interference (such as WTN and WTBS) and citizens
inability to receive cable N. Shaffer reminded BTC of upcoming events,
including Lhe Annual Programming Review and Input Hearing and the
Triannual Review to take place in March to Apri1 of 1982. Lists of access
production workshop graduates and access productions compteted to date
are now avai.lable. BTS spoke about Hawkeye's control room air
conditioning problems in the ICPL. It was suggested a separate air
conditioning unit may be necessary. At issue is who should purchase that
unit. 8lough of Hawkeye reported a plan to change from UPI to AP data
services should be accomplished very soon. He said some cable channels
interference (i.e. WGN, WTBS, ESPN, etc.) is caused by the wobbling of
satellite Satcom 1 on its orbit. Programming will be switched to Satcom 3
when it is launched into orbit. Kalergis reported the Programming
Advisory Committee set up to allocate Hawkeye's access grants will start

to do so on December 16. Applicatians for grants are due December 11,
1981. Johnson suggested approaching businesses in Iowa City ta help
support access production equipment needs and suggests the idea of
instituting a centralized foundation to collect and allocate access
related funds.

I PUBLIC UISCUSSION:
� Dan Daly, co-director of Access Iowa City (AIC), announced AIC's first
i general membership meeting open to the pubtic to occur on Monday, November
, 30, 7:00 PM in the public library. AIC will talk about cable and access TV
i and their involvement in both, with the intent of inviting citizens to
attend, participate and become members.
Connie Tiffany, assistant director of the public library, distributed a
memorandum from the ICPL to the BTC. This memo was intended as an
informational note to the BTC, reiterating the ICPL's support of and
concern for community access cable N in Iowa City, and of ICPL's role in
access and cable to date (see city clerk, BTC file, for a copy of this
memo). Tiffany said she was present to act as a resource person to answer
any questions about this memo or a ICPL's proposal the BTC may have
questions about, and will continue to attend the BTC meetings.
Johnson inquired about the ICPL budget proposal mentioned by Tiffany and
�f it was available to the BTC. Shaffer had prepared copies of that
proposal and distributed them.
In response to a question Tiffany indicated there are many groups in Iowa
City that might organize to offer some of the library's ongoing services
and facilities, but the library is an ideal entity, in many ways, to
fulfill those services to the community and needs support from the
franchise fee to do so. The library's intent and interest in getting the
budget support from the cable N franchise fee is opening up the TV lab on
a fu11-time basis to all community members.

Madsen said the BTC has been and is supportive of the library's role.
Eskin suggested financiat support from general revenue funds may be a
possibility for an alternative source of money for this purpose.
Tiffany said, to determine that the whole library budget needs ta be
evaluated. It will be made available to the BTC.
Johnson inquired if there are records that can be produced which would
indicate how much time the library staff are now spending or will spend
specifically on public access related productions. Particularly where
the library staff is concerned.
Tiffany pointed out the media section of'the proposal and said the staff
time (indicated at 20 hours per week) spent on public access directly is
the best estimate she can make. It was decided, since this is not an
agenda item of the current BTC meeting, that this issue should be dealt
with at a separate meeting where it is specifically addressed in the
agenda. .
SPECIALIST'S REPORT
I � Shaffer said the City had received a phone call from Yutkin of ATC stating
they had received Brown's letter from the City. This letter had stated
that perhaps a negotiation session is in order between the City of Iowa
City and ATC to resolve the extension policy issue. No further response
has been received from ATC. It was suggested ai1 Commissioners keep aware
of this situation and do whatever they can to facilitate the resolution of
this problem. Shaffer said he had talked to Berlin about the situation
and Berlin was considering calling ATC headquarters if we do not get a
response soon.
Shaffer said the letter sent to the Daily Iowan from the BTC requesting
local access channels be listed, did not appear in the DI to his
knowledge. He will send another copy of this letter to the DI. In
addition, Shaffer distributed a list of the government channel
programming to be cablecast through January 5, 1982.
Shaffer gave each Commissioner additional material ahout AIC and their
first genera7 membership meeting.
BTS recieved ten complaints over the last month. Complaints were about
the data channels on cable N, getting outages or interference on the
satellite channels, and a tenant who could not receive cable because his
1andlord refused to sign a wiring agreement with the cable company.
Eskin inquired if the City housing department has written into any housing
ordinance sections pertaining to a tenant's or landlord's rights or
responsibilities in this area.

Terry stated he believed any such regulatian to force a landlord to wire
his/her buitding or allow a tenant to receive it without the landlord's
consent is unconstitutional.
Shaffer is attempting to contact the landlord to verify his understanding
of this issue.
Shaffer said Btough, Kester and he rewired the cable TV lines to the Civic
Center. This was done for safety and longevity reasons of the actual
cable. He thanked Blough and Kester for their assistance in this
undertaking.
Shaffer reminded the BTC there are two upcoming events. One is the Annual
Input and Review hearing. The other is the Triannual Review. He
suggested March 23, 1982 for the hearing and April 6, 1982 for the
Triannual Review. April 20 would be the regular BTC meeting (both of
these events should then occur prior to April 20). Shaffer will check to
insure the University spring break does not conflict with these dates.
Eskin suggested the stipu7ations in the ordinance pertaining to the
Triannual Review should be isolated and duplicated for the BTC and
Hawkeye. Shaffer said he was in the process of doing that.
Shaffer said a computerized list of video workshop access graduates had
been comp7eted and is available to the public to assist in producing their
programming. Also a list of all programs that have been produced for the
access channe7s to date has been started. This list contains 225 to 250
program listings. It is planned that sections of these tapes will be
taken from these listings for an archival, composite tape.
Tiffany and Kalergis have been working on a plan to pool resources to
develop a tape library and save whole programs via a matching basis.
Kalergis said she believed most all tapes have been kept to date.
Madsen inquired about the playback schedule of programming on the
government channel. Shaffer said most all programming is built on a two-
hour tape, so that different programs accumulating to a two hour limit are
compiled and then that tape is played back on a repeat mode basis for
several hours. This is the best alternative (since logistically the
playback facilities are located in the Civic Center and Shaffer is in the
lihrary) until•8lough and Shaffer can move the p7ayback facilities to the
public library. This should happen at the start of 1982, when the
upgraded character generator (with remote keyboard capability) is due to
arrive (which will be kept at the Civic Center).
Terry asked Tiffany if the library's design engineers were aware of• the
load capacity of the air conditioning system needs when the designed the
new Iowa City public library's building.
Tiffany said she didn't think that question could be answered. She
suggested 7ooking at the correspondence between the engineers at that
183)

time. She said something that cauld be taken into account was that the
library is a city building and according to regulations must be kept at
78° in the summertime and 65° in the winter time. These temperatures,
particu7arly the 78° in the summertime, are insufficient to keep Hawkeye's
equipment cool to the capacity necessary. The design engineers were the
Iowa City public library's response to the individual regulation of
temperature in any one room below or above this tevel should be solved by
the use of a separate ai r condi ti oni ng uni t.
Daly said the air conditioner problem does affect access producers. AIC
hopes the BTC recognizes that interests of local programmers are those
that are most directty jeopardized by the current situation. AIC would
assist in any way to resolve this issue.
Shaffer said he had, according to BTC direction, starting researching the
control room air conditioning situation in the library. Shaffer has
started ta compile information from the contractor about the system's
capacity; has sent the Hawkeye/Library lease to Brown and is working with
Olney, an engineer at the broadcasting and film department at the
University of Iowa, Lo determine how much heat is being produced'by the
equipment in the control room, and what it would take to keep that
equipment cooled to a satisfactory level. He said the library is working
with City Attorney Jansen to determine a ruling on the lease agreement.
Johnson asked if there was a way to cool only that room with the library's
current air conditioning system.
Shaffer said since the library's air conditianing system feeds the whole
first floor east section of the library, the only way to direct that flow
of was by the manual vents in the ceiling.
Tiffany said that would still not help in the winter since the air
conditioning is shut off in the winter time.
Blough said one possibility in the winter time is to shut off the heating
vents manually, thus keeping the temperature cool enough for the
equipment. But this will not solve the air conditioning problems which
will arise again in the spring.
Shaffer suggested a test of the equipment and air conditioning capacity
may be in order. It seems since the control room equipment was up and down
last summer and•the air condtioning vents in the control room area were
only operating at 10% capacity, perhaps a recreation of environmental
conditions for test purposes is in order.
Tiffany suggested since the building will only 6e cooled at 78° in the
summertime, (as per regulations for City buildings) and the equipment
needs to be kept below 75°, that the system cannot help the situation.
She believes the issue now is who is going to pay for the additional air
conditioning room control unit needed.

Blough said Hawkeye's looking at two units. A water cooled and an air
caoled unit. He said Hawkeye will continue to look at air units cooling
alternatives. �
Shaffer said he plans to continue gathering information on this situation.
HAWKEYE'S EXTENSION POLICY AND REPORT:
Blough said they will be attempting to switch from UPI to AP services for
the data channels this evening. Hawkeye is now doing 1982 engineering
planning for cabling 80 more new homes in Iowa City. The tast big project
Nawkeye has wired is the Mayflower Apartments. If apartment units in Iowa
City are prewired, the landlord can pay 65% times the basic service to
receive cable N. Blough said there have been no motels expressing
interest in receiving cable TV as of yet. It was determined Hawkeye is
now receiving or can receive satellite signals for teleconferencing
purposes on ACS and channel 24. Blough said he had not received any
further informatian about the Extension Policy himself.
Madsen asked what had happened to channels 23 and 32 for a few days last
month. Blough said Satcom 1 is wobbling out of orbit enough to affect the
signals that can be received from it, thus affecting signal reception in
Iowa City. Satcom 3 will be launched soon to eliminate this problem (by
switching programming to it instead of Satcom 1). Additionally, water
somehow got into one of the satellite wave guides causing more problems.
This is being worked on.
Kalergis reported the Programming Advisory Committee and guidelines are
now ready to go. There are five members on this committee and she is still
looking for two more. The five 'are Jan Strahorn, Lyda Cochran, Dick
Bloom, Doreen Elniski and Bob Kunkel. Kalergis asked for an advisor (non-
voting) to the PAC from the BTC. Johnson volunteered. Madsen expressed
concern that any BTC representative not be intrinsically involved in
programming funding decisions. The BTC representative to the PAC would be
a resource person for funding ideas, access rules, etc. Terry stated the
BTC representative on this board should be an agenda item for the next BTC
meeting.
Johnson suggested the BTC's role in the promotion of access in the future
sliould be addressed. He suggested setting up a foundation which could be
used as a centralized funding collection and allocation entity. He
suggested the devetopment of access to this point is somewhat fragmented
with the company, library, access Iowa City and the city involvement.
Madsen said the money for this Program Advisory Committee is a two year
commitment of the company's and should be treated separately for the
developments and ongoing involvements. Eskin suggested AIC is a group
that could be suited for outside funding to support access. Johnsan said
many states and communities have created independent foundations to do
just that. Madsen suggested this may be something the Commission can look
at in 1982.

Kalergis suggested a change in the PAC funding guidelines. When grants
are given for equipment, that equipment once used for the project by the
group getting the grant, the equipment would revert to the public access
resource pool of equipment. The BTC was supportive of this idea.
Kalergis said there have been nine live and five taped programs in the
last nine days. The last month there has been an average between channels
5 and 26 of approximately 45 hours af local programming per week. This
shows phenomenal use of the local access channel capacity.
Hindman said the Hawkeye switcher is being back for damage caused by
shipping. The playback deck and the editing system is getting a
maintenance check. The audio amplifier is bein f'
g ixed.
NEW BUSINESS:
Johnson suggested the idea of approaching businesses to donate funds for
equipment to the public access pool of equipment in return for a priority
use of the equipment, and a tax write-off. Johnson asked if there were
abjections to that idea, particularly in terms of the first come, first
serve principal eurrently being applied to the access system. There was
same objection expressed to this idea. It was suggested the BTC wait
before moving this direction. Tiffany said there may be some administra-
tive problems to this idea if the danated equipment were to come to the
library. ' Suggestions were made to resolve those potential problems.
Kalergis expressed her feeling it was a.good idea to get businesses
involved in access. Eskin said most companies only want to use such
equipment for a few days a month sa such an idea may be a good one. Eskin
also suggested perhaps a charge for maintenance of that equipment should
be requested if equipment is donated from businesses to the public access
resource pool of equipment.
Tiffany said, in relation to the Library proposal requesting a portion of
the cable franchise need to come to the City, that the amount mentioned is
ten percent of the expanded service level request of the Library, and two
percent of the Library's total budget.
Helling said January 11-30 is when the Council will finally be looking at
the budget. Helling suggested a BTC representative go to the Council
public hearings with the 8T5.
It was decided there would be a meeting December 15, 1981, to discuss, in
part, the budget issue.

Review of Housin Rehabilitation Pamphlets and Recommendations on Low Interest
and Faraiveable Loans .
Barnes asked the members to correct page 7, item 4a:
• Should read one dwelling unit -- not two dwelling units.
� Strike last sentence, beginning with the words "priority wi11 be given...".
i
Barnes explained the types of loans which will be available for housing
rehabilitation: comprehensive loans at six percent for 15 years; weatherization
loans at three percent for five years and forgiveable loans, which depreciate
over a period of five years until they are forgiven. Barnes explained that
forgiveabie loans are also forgiven if the owner dies or must leave his or her
home due to illness. If the property is sold for any other reason, the
forgiveable loan is paid back. ,

COMMITTEE ON COMMUNII� NEEDS

Hencin asked the Committee to make a recommendation on the split between
fargiveable loans and low interest loans. Barnes stated that 80 percent of the
money could be set aside for forgiveable loans and 20 percent for payback laans
accarding to the Annual Housing Assistance Program. The forgiveable loans will
be targeted for the elderly. Daly camplimented Barnes on an excellent,
comprehensive manual.
Bonney asked Barnes if there was an idea of the overall current need for
rehabititation. Barnes stated that there were already at least ten peop7e from
the Neighborhood Strategy Areas on a waiting tist to receive housing
rehabilitation loans. Daly asked if Barnes planned a general mailing to inform
people of the availability of these loans. Barnes said, that while a mailing
will be done for those currently on the waiting list, no general mailing was
planned.
Daly moved thaQ the,CCN recommend that 80 percent of the monies be set aside for
forgiveable loans and 20 percent be set aside for low interest loans. Becker
seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
Hencin mentioned the possibility of using 575,000 currently set aside for public
, housing site acquisition in the development of assisted housing. Hencin
� explained that the money could be used to offset the high interest rate of loans
� used to rehabilitate rental housing under the HUD Section 8 Moderate
Rehabilitation Program. He explained that the City had received a commitment
for 30 units under that program. The rental property would remain privately
I owned, but the owners would receive a subsidy and would rent to low-income
tenants for a period of 15 years. McGee wondered if that was a more useful route
� than public housing to take. Hencin explained, that as construction money was
� almmost non-existent, it wauld be. Whitlow wondered if Washington, OC,
supported the idea of assisted housing. The members discussed the idea of
I assisted housing support and agreed to continue discussion next month.
Discussion and Recammendation on Use of 5209,000 Not Needed for Lower Ralston
Creek Acquisition
Daly asked if the CCN was facing a deadline in terms of making a recommendation.
Bonney said no. Hirt suggested leaving the money in the Lower Ralston Creek
area. Daly suggested looking for pragrams which were dropped in the past for
lack of funding. McCormick suggested using the money for public housing
acquisition or assisted housing.
Bonney concurred with Daly's suggestion to use the money for some under-funded
project, such as housSng. Bonney objected to keeping the money in the Lower.
Ralston Creek Project. McGee asked that Lyle Seydel give a report on public
housing at next month's meeting. FicGee suggested puLting the money towards
public housing or the Lower Ralston Creek Project.
Hencin explained that, while the money is not needed far the Lower Ralston Creek
Project, it could be used in the North 8ranch Dam Project. Milkman clarified
the difference between the two projects.
McCormick asked if there were any projects within the Creekside Project which
were eliminated for lack of funds. Milkman stated that an expensive retaining

retaining watl and sanitary sewer replacements had been dropped for lack of
money. McCormick wondered if they could be funded now or if the money could go
to the tree planting program or for sidewalks.
Hencin stated that the staff would recommend that the $209,000 would be better
used in completing an existing project rather than in funding a new project or
one not yet underway. Whitlow asked if housing would be a current enough
project. Hencin replied that assisted housing could be funded. '
The members decided to postpone their decision and asked for staff assistance.
The staff agreed to summarize the possible programs, suggested by CCN members,
to which the money could be distributed: housing inspectian, rehabilitation
money, disseminating information about housing inspection and rehabilitation,
Creekside project, public housing, assisted housing, emergency housing, and
making the contingency fund larger.
Bonney stated that Lyle Seydel will be invited to the next meeting to tatk about
public housing. Michael Kucharzak will be invited to talk about housing
inspection.
Hirt wondered.if the $209,000 could be used to fund a new sewage treatment plant
and was told it could not.
Bonney reminded the members that the potential for organizing neighborhoods to
make available funds go farther was still being worked on.
Members' Re ort:
A. Urban Revitalization
Whitlow reported that Hauer still required the maps showing areas in Iawa
City that might need revitalization and urged the members to complete their
maps. Milkman stated that the maps will again be mailed out and all
promised to complete them. Whitlow stated that while industrial revenue
bonds were probably being written off, tax abatement was still being
considered for use in urban revitalization.
B. Housing Commission
Milkman reported an behalf of Vander2ee. Milkman menLioned that the Task
Force for Congregate Housing will be appointed taday and Ruth Becker will
serve as CCN's representative. Last month the Housing Commission
reaffirmed its support for the use of CDBG money for public'housing site
acquisition and congregate housing. Milkman reported that the Housing
Cammission will wait until January for direction from the City Council.
C. Housin9 Inspection
Daly reported on housing inspection (see attached report) and recommended
that the program would be better if supported by City Council on a more
permanent basis than if it relied on year-to-year CDBG money. McGee
wondered at the schedule of inspections and Daly asked abaut the turnover
time between an inspection citing problems and the re-inspection to see

that the problems were corrected. Ninety days is the turnover period.
Daly stated that no one is sure how the new City Council will feel about
using firefighters for inspections. Milkman added that the City now had to
inspect single-family dwellings as part of the State Code which added to
their inspection load.
Status Report on Installation of New Bus Shelters:
Kelter reported that ten new bus shelters will be installed shortly, adding that
the transportation planners had chosen three or four of the CCN suggested
locations for their bus shelters.
Bonney asked Becker to report on congregate housing at next month's meeting.
Bonney announced that a new chairperson woutd also be elected at that time. She
asked if the City Council had responded yet to the CCN request that a Council
member attend CCN meetings. Milkman said no response had yet been received.
Ualy expressed concern over the possible demolition of three houses on Melrose
Avenue to make way for .ne new Law School. Daly wondered what, if anything,
could be done to save and move Lhose houses.
The members agreed that the Library was a satisfactory meeting place for the
future. '

In compiling this report the following offices were
consulted and their cooperation is appreciated: City Manager,
Fire Cheif, Senior Housing inspector and Chair of the Housing
Commission.
It is in the best interests of the citizens of Iowa City
that a fair and efficient housinq inspection program is admin-
istered. There are approximately 4,000 known residential
structures in Iowa City presently being inspected at a rate of
820 annually. This is 75X of the capacity originally planned.
� The current Community Development 81ock Grant proposal
call's for the funding of a half-time housing inspector for
the program years 1982 ($12,000), 1983 ($13,200) ar.d 1984 • i
($I4,520). i
• Some time ago the Council decided to have the Fire Dept. � �
assume some of the duties of housing inspection. Though hhis i i
� program has yet to be implemented some advantages can be seen. �
i A more comprehensive building file could be one result and a � �
i
� decrease in inconvienience to owners and dwellers could be
i
brought about through coordination of inspections for fire,
j i
housing and mixed-use buildinqs.
i
How this might be brought about is the su bject of dif- ,
fering points of view in the Fire Dept. and the Housing i
Inspection offices. This is not surprising given the goals
of each and the complexity of scheduling training and resource
limitations.
I
A major concern of the Fire Chief is that the program '
would not reduce the citys level of fire protection or limit
firefighters ability to respond to emergencys.
The City should review its current plans for housing �
inspection in liqht of this information and examples available �
in other Iowa cities.
The present rate of inspection is below that planned due
f to understaffing in the Housing Inspection office. The Council
` may wish to consider a more definate commitment to this service
than can be gaurenteed from outside funding sources. Thank you
for considering this report.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND ACTION TAKEN:

Rachel Dennis.

APPEAL OF MR. AND MRS. GREGORY H. WILLIAMS
Others present: Mr. Gregory Williams
David Malone reported on his October 5, 1981, inspection of the William's
rental property at 820-20� Iowa Avenue, where he found a second floor north
bedroom with a ceiling height of 6'S" and a second floor west bedroom with a
ceiling height of 5'l13/4" at the maximum, sloping down to a minimum height
of 2'S".
Mr: and Mrs. Williams filed an appeal on October 14, 1981. They asked for
both a general variance and a specific variance for the dwelling, stating�
that if they lived there, rather than rent it out, that the code would not
apply, even though the letter of the law would still be violated. David
Brown pointed out that a general variance is not an issue, that it is up
to the City Council to amend the housing code.. He reminded the Board to
consider the health, safety, and welfare of the public in granting a
specific variance.
Mark Koenig stated that there appeared to be only two options: raise the roof
of the structure or take the rental units off the market. He moved to grant
specific variances to both rooms, a motion that was not seconded.
The question was raised whether or not the city was liable if a variance were
granted and then someone was injured because of the low ceiling. David Brown
said that this was a sianificant ouestion in his mind. Rachel Cennis made the
comment that the Board could keep�coming down on ceiling requirements until
there was no longer a minimum at all.
Goldene Haendel asked Mark Koenig to amend his motion to read that a variance
be granted•to the north bedroom, denied to the west bedroom, making it a
storage or bathroom, and that the first floor dining room be approved as a
bedroom. t4r. Williams was asked how he felt about this. He replied that it

would make the dwelling more like a rooming house than a home and would
decrease its value, but that he could probably live with such an arrange-
ment. However, when the motion was put forward, it was not seconded.
After further discussion, Goldene Haendel asked that another motion be
put forward. Rachel Dennis made a motion that the north bedroom ceiling
height be granted a specific variance, and that the west bedroom ceiling
height violation be upheld. 7his motion was seconded by Mark Koenig,
voted on, and approved.
APPEAL OF E. MARLO NELSON
.
Others present: None. j
i
' David Malone reported on his inspection of Mr. Nelson's property at 445-
� 445� Clark Street on September 30, 1981. It was found that this property i
did lack a handrail along the front four stePs.
IMr. Nelson filed his appeal on October 15, 1981, stating that a•handrail �
would make access through the front door more difficult, and would be i
unattractive.
It was agreed that the concrete wall which runs along the steps was in-
sufficient for people to hold on to. Mark Koenig moved that the violation
be upheld; which was seconded by Rachel Oennis. The motion was approved.
APPEAL OF MRS. LUCILLE MILLER
Others present: None.
Mrs. Miller was ill and not in attendance, so Judy Hoard presented the
cases for both tha City and Mrs. Miller. The property was inspected
an September 30, 1981. The second floor apartmentN3,has a 6'll"
ceiling, sloping down to 6'7".
Mrs. Millei� filed her appeai on October 15, 1981 and said that she could
not raise the ceiling without major reconstruction. Judy Hoard pointed
out that Mrs. Miller is an elderly lady and that this property is her
income. It was agreed that compliance would be prohibitively expensive
and that the ceiling he9ght was not a significant health hazard.
Mark Koenig moved to grant a variance, Rachel Dennis seconded this motion.
The motion was approved.
At this point, Mark Koenig had to leave the meeting. Since there was no longer
a quorum, David Dolan was called and told that it would be impossible to hear
his case on this date.

building project budget and about $79,000 in outstanding bills. The
principal outstanding charge is the $50,000 due Vawter & Walter at
final closing.
2. Following last month's Library Board decision on funds for
handicapped equipment, we will be telling interested groups that
planned acquisition of such equipment has been postponed
indefinite7y. We will encourage contri6utors to give money for
materials for the handicapped (large print books, books on tape, and
so forth). If they want tt earmarked for equipment we will accept
and hold at interest until we are able to implement such a service.
3. Plans for service cuts approved last month are underway. Most become
effective December 1. The Library Board's decision was based on the
use indicators for the first quarter of fiscal year 1962 yet the
increases for October as compared to October a year ago are general ly
higher than any experienced since the first six weeks. In October.:

interest is in having the Community Programming Center reopened for the
total number of hours per week specified in the franchise, but not at the
expense of damaging the equipment. Dan Daly, representing Access Iowa
City, said he hopes that the Library and Hawkeye can resolve this issue
quickly so that area video producers can have full access to the Community
Programming Center.
The Board reviewed the FY83 budget which is based on priarities set by the
Board at its last two meetings. Detai7s of the Extended Service Levels
were reviewed. The Board restated its pasition that not until the Library.
receives the reinstatement of the two F.T.E. employees which were cut from
the Library staff during FY81 will it consider the reinstatement of Sunday
Library hours. The two people are needed to maintain the current 7eve1 of
service. ESL M4 describes what is needed in addition to add Sunday hours.
Another budget issue involves how the Library is ta be reimbursed for the
time spent in support of cable access facilities. A discussion follawed
as to the possibility of at least a portion of the three percent revenue
which the City receives each year from Hawkeye CableVision being returned
to the Library. These funds could be used to help staff the AV lab and to
help cover the Library's costs incurred in support of cable functions.
The Assistant Director will attend the next Broadband Telecommunications
Commission meeting to present a prepared statement outlining the
Library's past and present role regarding cable televisian and access
facilities in Iawa City.
The Library's budget review with the City Council has been tentatively set
for Wednesday, January 13 at 8:00 p,m.
The Board approved a request for funding the start-up costs and 18 months
of operating costs for a project to index the Iowa City Press-Citizen.
This is considered a very high priority by t�ie administrative and
information staff. The computer program will be available free of charge
and the costs (q00 -$500) involved are for computer staff time, and
printing. Grimes/Immermann.
The Board considered a request to establish an institutional fee card with
the fee•based on the number of potential users represented by the card.
This request was referred ta the Board's Policy and Planning Committee.
They wi77 meet on Oecember 10 and a report will be given at the Board's

ments with libraries who provide substantia7 service to residents of Iowa

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION ANU FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN
Vice Chair Sheehan called the meeting to order at 7:15. The minutes
of October 28 were approved as read.
Street Sianal Svstem
There was a general discussion of the signal system. The RCC felt
that it would be helpful to obtain more information, from other
cities, on what.savings and costs are realized, what changes accur in
accident rates, etc. when street lights are set on a f7ashing mode at
night. Other questions raised were whether the flashing mode would
save eiectricity or not and would there be a change in the life of
the bulbs. The RCC wi17 concentrate its attention on the issue of
using the street lights in the flashing mode at night.
Subdivision Ordinance
Two topics were noted as being relevant to the Ordinance and of
interest to the RCC. Those are solar access and street and/or lot
line orientation. The decision was made to use the Port Arthur,
Texas, Subdivision Ordinance as a guideline for drafting provisions
for the Iowa City Subdivision Ordinance. Kirk Perucca reported that
the Iowa Energy Policy Council recommends due south as the optimal
solar orientation for a home, in Iowa. However, there can 6e up to a
15° variation either way without a large loss in efficiency.
It was noted that a change in the Building Code minimum window area
requirements is necessary to insure the actual southern orientation
of a home.

Energy Audit Status
Tinklenberg reported that he had conducted walk-through energy
audits in 33 City buildings last spring. To date he has completed
the calculations on costs and savings and has distributed the
recommendations on 16 buildings. In those buildings, he has made
recommendations with potential annual savings of $53,400 at an
initial cost of 589,800. He noted that the original savings estimate
made last year was that 15% af the City building energy use could be
saved, or about $52,000. With 16 of the 33 buildings completed, that
estimate has already been achieved.
Technical Assistance Grants
Tinklenberg reported that the City has received $9,234.00 from the
Department of Energy as a 50% match to hire a certified architect or
engineer to conduct Technical Assistance energy audits in 13 City
buildings. These audits serve as follow-up audits to the ones which
he has conducted.
Other Business
Tinklenberg asked the RCC what input they might have or what type of
involvement they foresaw in the Iowa-Illinois Gas & Electric
franchise contract negotiations. This wi11 be discussed at the next
meeting.
The next meeting is scheduled for November 30 at 7:00 P.M. The
agenda should include:
-the Iowa-Illinois Gas & Electric franchise
-the Subdivision Ordinance
-the RCC goals and objectives and Energy Fair
-street signal system
-Building Code minimum window area requirements
The meeting was adjourned,at 8:20 P.M.
Respectfully submitted, Roger Tinklenberg.

suggested that the Commission•follow-up with a meeting of the panel members
to discuss common concerns and possible cooperation to reath common goals.
Portman volunteered to draft a letter to the panel members asking for a
follow-up meeting and Turned offered to help him. Williams mentioned that
many people attending had expressed their enthusiasm for the Forum.
Williams stated that she would be attending a workshop this week to speak
to people on ways in which to get the public involved in Commission
hearings. The Commissioners expressed concern over the way Cable TV had
set up -- many of the elderly and handicapped persons who were encouraged
to attend the Forum were stumbling over lights and wires. Williams stated
that a big part of the problem had to do with the unavailability af the room
for an earlier set up and suggested that, in the future, the Commission
avail itself of the meeting room in the Public Library.

Coordinator for the Iowa City Schoal District, has requested that same

Dear Mayor Balmer,
Jim L. Fausett
William A. Stewart
Several months ago, we experienced substantial problems with our
main water supply well. In order to supplement our water supply,
we asked your water officials to supply us some water, as had been
done previously.
Unfortunately, our well problems turned out to be much worse than
expected, and we had to use a great deal more of Iowa City's water
than we had expected. Our well was finally rebuilt and placed
back into operation.
On behalf of our City Council and the citizens of Coralville, I
would like to extend our sincere appreciation to you, your City
Council and Neil Berlin for your City's help and cooperation in
our time of need. It is this spirit of mutual concern and help
that makes ou�• cities good neighbors who are willing to help each
other to overcome unexpected difficulties.
We will be pleased to offer our assistance when the need may arise.

jRe: Benton Street-Riverside Drive Improvements
j Dear Mr. Kemp:
t
�
iThe Iowa City Public Works Department has re-examined the
� construction plans, prepared by the Iowa Department of
Transportation for the above-mentioned project, to insure that the
needs of private property owners were considered along with the
desire to move vehicular traffic through the intersection in a safe
and efficient manner.
A copy of a letter sent to the I.D.O.T. on December 7, 1981, is
enclosed and explains the City's position concerning the raised
median along Riverside Drive. Construction of a fifth lane and
allowance of uninhibited left turns similar to the situation that
exists on Burlington Street would not alleviate the conflicts that
� exist at the Benton-Riverside intersection.
i
j Also enclosed is the response from the I.D.O.T. to the City's
; December 7, 1981 letter. The I.D.O.T. does not agree with the City's
position that providing an opening in the median for the old Benton
Street right-of-way will not inhibit traffic flow.
IFurther discussion with the I.D.O.T. will be necessary as project
� development progresses to resolve this issue and various other areas
� of disagreement with existing design parameters.
Please feel free to contact Chuck Schmadeke, Public Works Director,
or me if you have any further questions.
Sincerely yours,
Neal G. Berlin

Re: Benton Street-Riverside Drive Intersection
Project No. 5-6-7(22)--20-52
.
Dear Mr. Henely:
The Iowa City Public Works Department has reviewed the design nf the
raised median on Riverside Drive at Benton Street.
The Public Works Department recommends a raised median along
Riverside Drive south of Benton Street, as shown on D.O.T.
preliminary plans dated 9-1D-81, to insure safe vehicular movement
through the intersection and to provide two uninhibited traffic
lanes in each direction for north and south bound traffic on
Riverside Drive.
It is also recommended that the raised median north of Benton Street
be modified slightly to provide left turn movements onto the City
street lying south of Linder Tire Company and east of Riverside
Drive. This break in the median will not inhibit the flow of traffic
on Riverside Drive since the left turn lane is fully established at
this intersection and queuing for two vehicles is availa6le.
If you have any questions concerning this project, please feel free
to contact me at 356-5141.
Respectfully,
Charles J. Schmadeke

Johnson Co.
Benton-Riverside
Thank you for youf letter of December 7, 1981, supporting the concept on
this project of a raised median on Riverside Drive.
t4e are concerned with your recommendation, however, for a median opening
to allow southbound left turns to the city street lying south of Linder
Sire Company. �
This proposal would force southbound vehicles wanting to turn left (the
highest turning movement at Benton-Riverside) at Benton-Riverside to
queue behind a vehicle waiting to turn left to the city street. Either
this or the vehicles would swing to the right to pass the vehicle waiting
the left turn. This would effectively cut down the southbound through
lanes of traffic. With 13,000 + UPD the opposing northbound traffic
could severely restrict the southbound left turn opportunities to the city
street.
The median opening also would afford the opportunity for an unpzotected
left turn northbound movement to the west. Besides being an unprotected
movement, the vehicles wanting to trun left would effectively eliminate
the northbound thxough lane while the vehicle is waiting. '
t4e feel the median opening recommended by the City would greatly increase
the accident potential�at this location.
We would appreciate the City's position be reconsidered to provide a
median opening £or the city street on the east side of Aiverside Drive
north of Benton Street.
Very T�SI

December 14, 1981
The Honorable John Balmer
Mayor of the City of Iowa City, and
City Manager Neal Berlin
410 East Washington
Iowa City, IA 52240
Gentlemen:
Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company's gas and electric
franchise ordinances were approved by the City Council on
August 10, 1959, approved by the voters on September 29, 1959,
and accepted by the Company on October 8, 1959. They were 25-
year grants that normally would be up for renewal on October 8,
1984.
Under the Company's current electric tariff on file with
and as approved by the Iowa State Commerce Commission, the City
can obtain reduced rates for Mercury-vapor street-lights if there
is in effect a 25-year electric franchise with at least two years
remaining in its term. This means consideration should be given
to renewing the Company's electric franchise prior to the fall
of 1982. We believe there is merit in the Council's considering
at the same time the renewal of the Company's 25-year gas franchise.
Since these ordinances become effective in 1959, the juris-
diction and the responsibility of the Iowa State Commerce Com-
mission have changed substantially. Specifically, in 1963 the
Iowa statutes were revised to transfer to the Commission exclusive
regulation of rates and services of all public utilities. Thus,
Sections 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 0£ Ordinance Nos. 2169 and
2170 reflect activities no longer necessary for inclusion in
franchise ordinances.
in order to continue to make available reduced street-
light rates, we would like to begin the process of renewing
the fsanchises next year rather than wait until their expiration
in 1984. We would like to meet with you to start the renewal
process. Please let me know when it would be convenient for
us to meet with you.
Sincerely,
.-���,--'2�

At its regular meeting of December 22, 1981, the City Council received
and placed on file your letter concerning the renewal of the gas and

begin as soon as possible. Earlier this year the City Council considered
establishing a task force to work on this project. This task force w111
consist of the City 14anager, the City Attorney, and Council htembers Kate
Dickson and David Perret. Once the task force becomes active, we will
contact you to schedule a meeting.

Please reco9nize your responslbility for a second needless

which occured in front of our home. Many similar accidents have occured
there. They would not have repeaEedly occured there if the city
government would honor the obligation for a level of street care
which should come with arterial use. Conditions on this hill are
such that it would be less costly to direct arteriat flow elsewhere
than to honor these obligations.

Dear Mr. Lyvers:
This letter is in response to your letter of November 28 and the
article regarding the future of urban forestry.
Forestry Division duties will be carried out or coordinated by Dennis
Showalter, Director of Parks and Recreation, who has a background and
experience in horticulture and forestry. He will be responsible for
the budget, planning, contract administration, inspection and
evaluation.
Approximately 60 percent of the Forestry budget for fiscal year 1983
is targeted for tree trimming in City Park, where we hope to trim 270
large trees. There probably will be a limited amount of street tree
planting done in April and May of this year.
The City Council and staff have discussed your letter and article,
and I wish ta thank you for bringing these matters to our attention.
Sincerely yours,

Joumal ol Arboricullure 7(10�: October 1981
THE FUTURE OF URBAN FORESTRY'
by Fred Bartensteln
The city manager or mayor Iooks at forestry as
one of a growing number ol urban services local
government can provide to satisfy demands of
taxpayers. Policing, streel lighling, wasle co�lec-
tion, libraries, lire prevention and suppression,
building inspection, street maintenance, water,
airports, correction, zoning enforcement and
public heallh are but a few of the olher services
that must be considered when dividing lax
receipts each year.
When money is p�entiful, cily governmenls are
in the enviable position of being able lo please
almost everyone. When money is tight, as is
usually the case, lhere are two choices — pertorm
less service or manage more efficienlly. The lalter
choice, management, implies prioritizalion. When
citizens are asked lo rank the importance they
place upon existing services, salety services
(such as police and fire) inJariabry come firsl,
(ollowed closely by public ulilities (such as water
and stree�s) and environmental control (such as
waste collection and housing inspection). Amenity
services usuaily place lasl.
Due to a difficull regional economy and a heavy
reliance on voted wage and profit taxes, Daylon
hns been lhrough a series ol boom and bust
cycles. We have learned that prioritization of ser•
vices, even when done by cilizens, can prolound•
ly miss the point of what is aclually expec�ed of
local government. For exampie, knowing that
citizens rale policing as an important service fe/ls
us very litlle about how much, whal kind, or, more
importantly, fo what end policing is valued. I(
perception of salety in the neighborhoods is
desired, adding delectives or improving com-
munications may be Iess ellective lhan increasing
the level ot lighling, providing employmenl oppor-
tunities for teenagers, or establishing
neighborhood watch programs.
In order lo manage wilh less and responJ affec•
tively lo citizen needs, we have had lo learn not to
�--�:
� 261
concenlrate on the service organization, but on
Ihe end results. A po�icy goa�•selling process
(begun in 1975) resulted in a set ol live largets
the Daylon City Commission hopes to achieve
with its lax dollars. These are economic vitality,
neighborhood vila�ily, maintenance of Dayton's
unique characler, leadership in intergovernmental
alfairs and preservalion ol lhe urban inlraslruc•
ture. Budgeting for service delivery under these
goals requires a rethinking ol mosl traditional ur•
ban services and some evaluation ol how well
each service responds lo lhe newly expressed
needs.
LeCs look al urban forestry within this planning
environment. What is urban foresiry? How did we
get in lhis business? To whal needs or desires
does it respond? Municipai lorestry practice has
iradi�ionally focused upon needs of the cily's
Irees. When asked what the trees do lor the cily
or its people, foresters tend lo respond wilh
general statements about beauty and the backlog
of citizen requesls lor Iree maintenance. Il has
been easy for urban managers, given �hese
responses, to justi(y passing responsibility lor
tree care to individual properly owners who ap•
pear to have lhe most to gain Irom trees and lheir
benefits.
Why cities service lrees
At some poinl in the urban past lhere must have
been a reason for trees entering the ranks of
municipal services. Qayton thinks il is important to
�ake a long look at Ihe urban forest and how it got
there, and attempl lo caiculale the benefits it pro•
vides today and might provide in Ihe luture.
Two conflicting Irends have been at work
throughoul �he his�ory ol the cities and urban
lorestry in America. The lirst is the desire to
change and modernize. Josiah Royce, a 19th
century American philo�opher, described Ihe cily
builder in lhis way:
� ReOrinted with permisslon ol Ihe aulhor and the Pinchol Institule ol Conservatian Sludies Irom Ihair circular entilled Bioaking Now
GmunAln Urban Forosfiy1.

The second major lrend emerges from the Jeb
lersoniaii rural ideal and its corollary — thal cities
are inherently unheaithy to Ihe human body and
soul. Andrew Jackson Downing, Frederick Law
Olmsled and ihe landscaping movement pro-
ceeded (rom the assumption that "Man's essential
unily with God was reflected in his relation to the
natural world around him."2
Early advocates ot urban foreslry reflected a
missionary assurance of their social purpose. Dur•
ing the War of 1812, troops quartered in Dayton
were set to work by one ot Daytdn's founders,
building a levee and planting elms and maples
throughout its lenglh. A later historian observed;
"Whether Daniel Cooper had any legal right or not,
this was a line fore•sighled, public spiriled thing to
do."3 The same historian describes the �vork ot
anolher lounding lalher: "With the vision o� mak•
ing our cily Iike lhe elm•embowered towns of New
Engiand, (John) Van Cleve surrounded Ihe court-
house with elms, and when they got to the age
when the green limbs Iifting lo the sky framed the
classic pillars in lheir foliage, an editor, who
thought Ihat to have trees in the city made it look
�ounlri(ied, kept al il in his paper until the elms lell
victim to a municipal axe and are no more."3 John
H. Patterson, the paternal industrialist ,who
tounded National Cash Register Company, and
who �ed Daylon into becoming the firsl large city
to adopt the progressive city manager lorm ol
government, was an ardent odvocate ol land•

was largely responsible for the hiring ol Dayton's

completed by lhe prestigious Olmsted lirm,
stressed ihe benelils ol Iree-lined boulevards lo
real estale developers.° The largest part o(
today's urban loresl in Dayton was planled by land
developers in the first decades o( ihe iwentieth
century — men who would never have invested in
vegetalion unless assured o( its coNribution to
the sales potenliat ol lheir subdivisions.
A unique synthesis was (orged between
"modemism" and "naturalism" trends in the lirsl
decades of this cenlury as other utilitarian values
were lound to justity urban lorestry expenditures.
In Dayton, gardening was louted as a cure for
juvenile delinquency and as a melhod for increas•
ing citizens' involvemenl and pride in the
neighborhoods. Public tree plantings re(lecled the
ci�y's desire to appear progressive and modern.
The urban forest was also championed in the early
20th century for its con�ributions to public health.
A"green lungs" plan lor Chicago proposed the in-
�erspersing o( dense development wilh open
space for improvement of air qualiry. The Ohio
Department of Education exhorted schoolchildren
in a 1912 Arbor Day manual; "Dodl forgel lhat an
adequale number of s�reet lrees mitigates the in-
tense heat of the summer monlhs, and diminishes

that Ihe air of basemenls and cellars is rendered

Two major developments occurred as Ihe 201h

aborted the lurther developmont ol "Environmen-

gardeners could imporl to the dense urban core
of(ered litlle competition to the half•acre �awn.
Air•condilioning and widespread access to !he
automobile weakened the constituency lor urban
lorestry and placed upon municipal toresters the
"caretaker" role in which we know them today. As
the cilyscape changed under economic and social
pressures, a series of incremenlal decisions wero
made in which the existing urban• forest began to
disappear wilhout replacement. Urban renewal,
slreet widenings, demand placed upon open
space lor active forms ol recreation, absentee
ownership, and new municipal concerns lor safe•
ly, operating elliciency and capital intensive
mainlenance, all conspired loward removal of
Irees. As urban ollicials became more
sophisticaled in managing resources for maximum
producliviry and cost elliciency, ihe urban forest
tended to be viewed more as a liability than an
asset.
Municipal Iree issues in the '50's, '60's and
'70's pitled the "practical men" and "progress"
against emotional, poetic, or downright
recalcilrant bands of garden clubs, preserva•
tionists, and civic beautiliers. Despife occasional
victories, the net result was almost invariably
lewer trees in the city.
Are municipal trees valuedl
There is a direct parallel between recent efforls
of historic preservationfsts to documeN the
economic and energy benefits of building restora-
tion and the task laced by advocates of urban
lorestry in the 1980's. In order lor urban (oreslry
to surviva, a case must be made for !he conlribu-
tions of urban lorests lo urban survival. This case
must locus on needs and issues relevanl lo urban
dwellers and not on the needs ol lrees and the dil-
ficulties Ihey lace in a modern city. Like old
buildings, trees stand their besl chance lor sur-
vival il Ihey are valued for lheir contributions to a
cily's physical, economic and social welfare.
These values must be underslood and Iranslated
into cca;a and bencfi;; ba;o�a ;u�eSlry can effeo-
tively compete lor scarce tax dollars.
A modern municipalily will proba6ly not choose,
or be able, to (ully care for all ihe trees fn the city.

Given a set budget and forced by a lack of policy
to spread it equally over a massive invenlory of
street and park trees, urban foresters are no
longer even "caretakers" — they are
"morticians." Trees demanding first attention will
be those Ihat are dead, blown down, or overgrow•
ing slreet lights, sewers and ulilily wires. With
limited budgets, Ihe rate of removal will almost in•
variably exceed Ihat of replacement. A lack ol
care (or the existing healthy stock only increases
the dealh rate. Inexorab�y, our cilies are moving
toward the logical end of "no lorest."
In order (or urban foresiry to survive, clear
reasons for healthy irees to exist must be slated,
and stated in terms relevant to loday's citizens.
Furthermore, policies must be developed which
permit lorest managers to maximize benelils.
minimize costs and demonstrate how trees can
compe�e with olher urban services as an elticient
response lo Ihe needs and desires of cily
dwellers. Public policies which require ministra•
�ions to all trees in all places can never altord
managers a shot at the "main chances" for urban
lorestry.
With lhe assislance ol the USDA Forest Service
and researchers in Ihe lorestry prolession,
Dayton is beginning to develop a body of
knowledge and stralegy which could radically alter
perceived values and the management ol our ur•
ban !orest. Drawing upon Ihe city's policy goals
and Ihe lools of cost benefit analysis, the Daylon
Project is seeking to develop a comprehensive
slrategy for urban foresl aclivity.
Daylon's foremost goal, shared wilh most other
older cities, is economic vilality, which could also
be stated as economic survival Trees will pro•
bably never be a pYimary tool lor economic
development, but to lhe extent Ihey attract jobs or
residents, trees can play an economic role. The
image of a communily is an imporlanl aspecl ol ils
atlracliveness to Ihe investor. An allractive urban
lorest might play a role in the calculation ol the
amenities a given place olfers.

crease in lease rates and a decrease in vacancy
on a commercial street planted with lrees in
preparation lor the 1962 World's Fair. Similar, but
unplanted, parallel slreets displayed no significant
change 6 A city might likewise use trees as a cost•
e(fective means to solten or hide unatlrective
lealures. Several years ago, Ihe New York Port
Aulhority inslalled 79,393 trees and other planls
in ihe parking and terminai drive areas o( lhe
Newark International Airport.� The elfect is strik•
ing and improves the world traveler's first reaction
lo the Jersey meadows. There has been almost
no research inlo the impact of irees or tree pro•
grams on investor choice, nor has there been
carelul evaluation ol lhe economic results of major
landscaping efforts.
A second policy goal (or Dayton and olher cities
is neighborhood vitaiily. In view of a monumenlal
inveslment in housing stock, public infrasiructure,
and public services, cities are fighting to keep
iheir residential neighborhoods viable and com•
petitive. Malure trees are an asset older city
neighborhoods otten have which cannot be found
in newly developing areas. Not only are ihese
trees a public asset, in their contribution to resi•
dent evaivations o( a neighborhood's desirabi�ity,
attracliveness and uniqueness, ihey are also a
private asset lo the exlenl they contribute to pro•
perty values. .
There was been lit�le quantilication of Ihe con•
tribulion lrees make to an urban dweller's satistac•
tion with his neighborhood, the e(fect trees have
on decisions to live in a given place, or exac�ly
whal impact Ihey have on property values or the
willingness of �inancial and insurance institutions
to support urban investments. As aging forests
decline and begin to disappear, it would be useful
to know to what extent dissatislaction and
disinvestment lollow. Daylon has a program called
"Neighborhood Initiative," in which
neighborhoods compele lor 575,000 public in•
vestmenls, malched by comparable im•
provements tu privale property. Trees have con-
sistently been the most requested public improve•
men� in the program. This cholce, metle in•
dependently by the neighborhoods, underscores
Ihe assumption that trees do play a role in
neighborhood vitaiity allhough Iha� role is not well
�•�),
Bartenslein: Future �, d"rban Forestry
understood.
If a cily were to altempt slrategic managemenl
ol its Iorest lor neighborhood vitalily, it might iden•
tify and concentrate on ihose areas where a
mature forest is Ihe most distinctive element ol a
neighborhood's character. The city mighl also
seek to link lorestiy improvemenl wilh other pro•
grams targeted in a given neighborhood, or at
least ensure lhat new eflorls are nol undermined
by torest decline. A city might seek ways lo get
residents interested and involved in forest
managemenl decisions for iheir neighborhoods,
perhaps lo the extent of special assessments, or
direct parlicipation in tree care.
In some neighborhoods trees are not valued,
and may even represent a liability. In particular
cases, trees may be disliked for their lack ol
geometric symmelry or lheir interierence with ar•
chitecture or scenic views. Senior citizens may
find it hard to contend with leaves or other litler
trees generate. These prelerences should be
taken into account in forest management deci•
sions. In some areas, reduction or even elimina•
tion ol trees might represenl a contribution to
neighborhood vitality.
A third policy goal lor Dayton is maintenance ol
the city's uniquo character. The downlown area,
the rivers, certain historic slructures and other
landmarks, and heterogeneity in terms o( race,
ethnic background, culture and economic level
are considered distinctive characleristics worthy
ol preservatlon and promotion by the local govern•
ment. This goal also presumes Ihe maintenance
and enhancement of public amenilies, which ofler
rewards from living In ihe cily which transcend
those available from everyday working and home
life. Public amenilies inclyde culturai inslitutions,
parks and other recreational (acilities, a high quali•
ty ol educational opportunities, entertainment and
nighllile.
Tho urban fores� can oller amenily value
beyond its contribution to other goals. Landscap•
ing can enhance the appeat ol lhe citys architec•
ture, topography, landmarks and distinctive
natural teatures. Trees can bring form, color enJ
movemont to an Inanimate cityscape. They can
draw the eye lo deslrable views and screen those
which are undesirable. A well developed and

managed urban forest can be an amenity asset
wilhout regard lo ils component parts. The resi•
denl or visitor looking oul over a c�reen ciry wil�
note, and probably value, ihat characteristic.
Measurement of aesihetic appeal is a dif(icult
prospect as is development ol management
guidelines to maximize amenity values. A lack of
aeslhetic appeal in modern cities may reflect the
di(ficulfy ol delin(ng and managing for ihat
characteristic.
Until more is known, the most a city can do to
strategically enhance forest amenity is ensure its
planners are well endowed with design skills, A
lorest manager, in prioritizing resources for ameni•
ty, might concenirate on identified landmarks, the
city's most distinctive teatures (such as
downtown or Ihe rivers) and views Irom high
places and major transportation corridors. Special
attention might also be given to trees which have
acquired landmark status by their age, location,
rarity, or role in history.
A lourth policy goal (n Dayton is urban conserva•
tion, or Ihe w(se and eflicient use of resources.
While objectives under this goal speak to preven•
tive maintenance of the city's capital plant, they
also cover energy conservation and protection ol
the urban environment. The least understood
benefi(s of the urban forest are ihose olfered to
cily heallh and liveability. In principie, urban
vegetalion should help moderate humidity, reduce
the speed and volume of water runoll, reduce air
pollution concentration, and absorb enough solar
radiation to substantially reduce energy demand
lor space cooling. In addition, vegetation can con•
tribute to the comfort of Individuals by providing
shade, windbreak, sound absorption, and an alter•
nalive lo heahradiating concrele and asphalt sur-
laces.
Environmantal benef(ts of trees
In Germany, Ihe Netherlands, and other parts of
lhe world, Ihe beneficial climatological eflects ol
Ihe urban lorest are considered in land use
policy.1z As land becomes more scarco and
energ, cost� ri�c, citfmns beceme more awara o(
ihe tempereture and quality o( air in citles. Cities in
competition for economic developmenl and
residents nre becoming more conscious ol
265
climate and ils impact on their viability.
The Dayton Climate Project, begun (n 7 976, is
evaluating and applying methods lor enhancing ur-
ban liveability through modification of the city's
surfaces and structures. Early in Ihe project, trees
were recognized for their potential contribulions
to the urban climate, and Ihe relafive ease with
which their configuration can be modilied within
Ihe existing cityscape. In late 1979, Dr. John
Flynn, a forest meteorologist, was slationed by
the USDA Forest Service in Dayton for 18 moNhs
lo organize ex(sting knowledge and recommend
strategies for ihe use o( Uees in urban climale
enhancement.
It is too early lo give loresters much guidance (n
how the urban lorest migbt best be managed lor
environmentai benelit. At this point, it can only be
that more Irees are better, and ihat (or better air
qua�ity and reduced summer air temperatures, ef-
fort should be concenlrated in the city's upwind
sector. Cost•benelit ratios are not known, but it
would be va�uable to calculale elfects of an urban
forest on a city's energy budget, and for air qualiry
planning, ihe amount ol pollution reduction ihal
could be attributed to the existing urban lorest. In
areas ol the city where pedestrian comlort is im•
portant (such as the central business district and
neighborhood play areas) urban loresters can
easily demonstrate obvious benofits of trees and
other vegetation.
I have identified four areas in which ihe urban
forest can offer slrelegfc response to urban
needs. Belore an urban lorest management .
strategy can be complete, however, it must in•
clude mechanisms for comparing lhe elficfency ol
lorest strategies to other methods lor enhancing a
citys economic vitaiily,'neighborhood vitaiity, uni•
que characler and physical environment. There
must also be consideration given to the costs an
urban forost imposes on Ihe local govemment, its
citizens and other urban services.

dollars, time and personnel lo produce the most
efleclive package of benefits at a de(ensib�e cost.
The best way lo delend forestry•related expern
dilures would be lo demonslrate how Ihey
achieve a desired result al less cost lhan alterna•
tive means lor achieving lhat result. This approach
cannol be pursued without the re�iable data which
has so lar been lacking in ihe urban forestry field.
We can, however, apply common•sense criteria
when priori�izing urban forestry expenditures. The
Iwo mosl imporlant questions might be "Who
paysl" and "Who benefits?"
Trees on privale land provide the greatest
benefit to property owners. It has iraditionally
been lhe property owner who chooses, installs,
maintains, and replaces private trees. Public
benefits, however, clearly result (rom Ihese pri•
vate investments. It might be far more eflicient for
Ihe local government to provide educational infor•
� mation, lechnical advice, or even assistance in the
� purchase, planling and maintenance ol private
itrees than it would for a city to achieve equivalent
� results ihrough lhe installation and permanent
� management ol public trees.
In Dayton, slreet irees are legally lhe respon•
� sibiity of adjoining property owners. We have
i eamed lhat except in rare cases (usually in high
ncome, owner•occupied neighborhoods), the
auality and consistency ot main�enance is nol suf•
licient to ensure survival ol our slreet tree stock.
Private slreet tree replacemenl has been almos�
ion•exis�ent. The economies ot scale available to
a large lree manager make common maintenance
lar more cost-elficient.
Neighborhoods which desire a high level of tree
�are should be encouraged to create benefit•
assessment disiricls which would provide lor
shared or totally privale lunding through a
managemeN conlracl with the cily, or a private
tree service. The case for such assessment
jisiricts can be made by demonstrating Ihe "new
proliC' a properry owner could realize Ihrough
:ontributions ol Irees lo his real estate's value,
3nd lhe savinps in cost and eflort available to him
Ihrough the dislrict. The local governmen! should

Nhich Ihe privale sector cannot act, or in which
pubiic benelits clearly outweigh the cosis of pro•

viding )oreslry service.
There are resources ihat can be tapped to
stretch the public dollar, or ensure continuation of
an olherwise lhreatened lorest amenily. These
are the corporate and voluntary sectors, which
stand to reap promotional or intrinsic rewards (rom
"adopt a block," "adopt a tree," or "adopl a park"
programs. Partnership with local government to
ensure survival or enhancement ol public land•
scaping is not a new idea. Frederick Law
Olmsled's 1882 pamphlet, Spoils ol fhe Pa�k,
documented New York City's failures to ade-
quately repair drains, provide police supervision,
control vandalism and avoid the death and over-
growth of Centrai Park's vegetation. A private
Ceniral Park association has been active since
1902 in supplementing municipal maintenance of
that priceless resource.2
A cost•elfective managemenl strategy would
also seek opportunities lor the lorest to help pay
its own costs. Wood producis such as firewood,
Christmas trees, pulp, leal mulch, and even raw
building materials might be profitably Investigated
and developed by urban lorest managers, de-
pending upon local condilions and markets.
Control of management cost implies the design
and redes(gn of vegetalion systems to require the
least possibte maintenance for the Ievel and rype
ot benefit desired. Areas in which masses of
vegetalion are planted for their ellect on air
tempereture or air qualiry do nol require Ihe level
ol care given to landscaping aimed at increasing
economic vitalily ol a city's commercial core.
Foresl invesiments are typically long•term in their
cost and benelit implications. An exceilent case
can be made for placing a high priorily upon plan-
ning and design, and ensu�ing Ihe capacily ol per-
sonnel assigned to those lunctions. Enhancement
of the locat urban lorest management environment
is one of the grealest contributions researchers
and slate and federal govemmenls can make to
the control ol urban foreslry costs.

one which has resulted in numerous se�backs for
ihe urban forest in the recent history of cilies.
That dimension is the control of external costs. Ur•
ban lorest managers must develop the abilily to
anticipale, conlrol, and in some cases juslily the
cosls Irees impose upon citizens and other public
services.
The most critical area ol concern in controlling
external cosl is �hal o( public safety. Public safely
has been previously mentioned as one ol lhe
highest priority concerns lor urban dwellers.
There can be no question that trees pose a hazard
to lhe occupanls o( a speeding automobile. Under
certain conditions they can create a fire risk thal
would not olhenvise exist. Trees and other
vegetalion can also reduce �he ability of police to
provide surveillance of public spaces or
neighborhood streets. Urban forest plans, Ihrough
anlicipalion and conirol ol sa(ety risks, can avoid
conflict within city bureaucracies or in public
lorums, without substantial reduclion in the many
benelits Ihe lrees provide.
Similarly, urban forest managers must include in
their cost•benelit calculations impacts upon utility
service, sireet sweeping, storm sewers, slreet
lighting and olher municipal services. Urban forest
plans should demonstrate that benefits or income
provided lhrough �he program offset costs
elsewhere in the public service network.
Anolher elemenl which needs to be considered
in the control o( extemal costs is lhe polential tor
negative impacts upon citizens and businesses.
Blockage of signs, views, and architecture is one
kind of negalive impact. Also to be considered is
the time and money spent in reking leaves, repair-
ing windslorm damage, or repairing the utility ser-
vices damaged by trees.
In Dayton and blher cities, existing urban
forestry programs can be evaluated lor Ihelr con•
tributfon to the city's economic vitality,
neighborhood vitality, unique characler and
��4

liveability. We can also evaluale how well existing
programs control management and external costs.
Calculalions ot wst and benefit, and the resulling
priorilization o( resources, at lhis point can only be
educated guesses until more is known about ihe
urban forest and its measureabie impact.
Educated guesses, however, should improve
public satisfaclion and our day-to-day manage•
ment ol the lorest within existing resources.
Educated guesses and well conceived programs
might even increase the number of dollars
allocaled to urban foreslry.
In the (uture, the competition tor public funds
and citizen demand for elficient use ol those
tunds will require urban lorest managers to equip
ihemselves with more than guesses. The
research task is subslantial, but in my view ab•
solutely essential to �he survival of urban lorestry.
That survival will rely less upon new knowiedge ol
how lo care tor trees than il will upon new
knowiedge of how lrees help to care for people.

RE° Revised fee schedule and review procedures
A revised fee schedule reflecting your concerns with the
significant increase outlined in the previous proposal is
included in your packet. Along with this schedule is a
comparison of the costs of the case studies and the fees
which would be charged under the revised proposal. The
flat fee has been reduced so that the City and the appli-
cant share the cost of review to a greater extent than
previously proposed. The per lot fee remains the same
with the rationale for a per lot char9e resting in the
assumption that the costs of review of preliminary plats
or plans increases with the size of the subdivision.
The phasing of an increase in fees over a number of years
to eventually meet the full cost of review as outlined
in the original proposal is not recomnended. Any figure
which is presented at this time as necessary to cover
costs may be grossly outdated in two or three years and,
therefore, an inappropriate goal, A cost accounting pro-
cedure will be instituted in PPD to be used as a basis for
annual review; subsequent increases in fees will be pro-
posed based on an annual evaluation of the costs involved.
In conjunction with the revised fee schedule, means to ex-
pedite the review process have been investigated. Those
which appear to be most immediately practicable are:
a) the encouragement of pre-application conferences, and
b) the publication of an informational brochure for appli-
cants. The pre-application conference and brochure would
provide applicants with knowledge of how the process works
and the rationale behind it, what steps will be taken through-
out the review, and what is specifically expected of the
applicant for each type of request. These measures can be
implemented relatively easily, and potentially can speed up
and smooth the ent9re process.

In order to decrease the amount of staff time, and there-
fore costs, necessary to process any application, the appli-
cant can be encouraged to submit a"clean" application
through the methods outlined above. A built-in incentive
to submit a complete application is the fact that such an
application naturally moves through the process quickly, to
the advantage of the City and the applicant. It is the
staff's opinion that no monetary incentive, such as a re-
fund of part of the fee, be instituted under the proposed
fee schedule. The fees proposed are low enough that costs
are not covered in most cases; a refund would increase
significantly the City's share of the cost.
Long range plans for procedurat modifications will require
changes in the subdivision, PA�, LSRD, and LSNRO regulations.
Evaluation of these regulations will be done upon completion
of the neW zoning ordinance; any changes will require a care-
ful �review of possible ramifications.

Physical characteristics:
ANALYSIS
2 '�''.
Topography is gentle with slopes of
less than 5%.
The applicant is requesting approval of an amended preliminary and final Large
Scale Residential �evelopment (LSRD) consisting of four 12-unit and two 8-unit
unit multi-family residential buildings. The total of 64 units is the same as
was previously approved. The two changes which are being proposed are a new
side layout and the addition of a community building. Neither change appears to
have a negative impact on the proposed development. The density of development
remains 17.6 dwelling units per acre, which is easily within that required for
the present R3B zoning, but more than the 8-16 dwelling units per acre
recommended by the Comprehensive Plan. The staff finds the overall design of
the proposed LSRD to be good.
It is the staff's recommendation that the amended preliminary and final Large
Scale Residential Development plan be deferred. Upon revision of the plan
correcting the deficiencies and discrepancies noted below, the staff recommends
that the amended preliminary and final LSRD plan be approved.

Re: Gift Policy
At a recent employee meeting concerning personnel policies, an explana-
tion of the City's gift policy.was requested. The purpose of this
memorandum is to provide additional guidelines.
1. No Christmas or other gift is to be accepted unless it is of nominal
value, such as a calendar, or pencil and represents the kind of
advertising device or thank-you far patronage which the firm
normally provides to all customers. Gifts of liquor, money, turkeys
'or other similar items obviously would be unacceptable.
2.. Lunches or other meals are not acceptable as gifts from persons with
whom the City does business, unless it is a community or public
affair to which other community representatives are invited for a
purpose other than to conduct business.
3. The City's policy is:
City employees are prohibited from soliciting or accepting any
gifts, gratuity, favor, entertainment, loan or any other item of
monetary value for personal benefit under circumstances which
directly or indirectly involve improper influence upon the manner in
which the employee performs work, makes decisions or otherwise
discharges duties as a CitV employee.
City employees will not accept any payment, other than that which is
provided by the City, for work performed on behalf of the City.
4. State law requires that if you or your immediate family member
receive a gift which exceeds $15 in value in any one occurrence a
public disclosure statement must be filed with the County Auditor.
Chapter 68B of the Cod? of Iowa provides the specifics.
5. If you have any questions, cantact your department head who will
review the matter with the City Manager.

LIBRARY MARKETING BROCHURE
Iowa City Public Library moved to its new quarters on City
public library building and lot are now being offered for
The site of the old library is located in the Central Business District and is
adjacent to the new City Plaza mall. A 450 space municipal parking ramp is to
the southwest. A proposed hotel/department store project is directly west of
the site.
Proximity to the University of Iowa, over 1500 downtown parking spaces, and
limited suburban shopping opportunities are important indicators that downtown
Iowa City will remain a vital commercial center with a full array of day and
' night time activities. The public and private urban renewal projects have
greatly increased the downtown's attractiveness and business.
THE BUILDING
I
� The former public library building is approximately 23,400 gross ft.2 on six
different levels. The main section of the building is a Carnegie library
, constructed in 1903 with a sealed stone foundation wall, brick masonite walls
� and a grey limestone veneer. In 1962, an addition of concrete block with a
i veneer of charcoal brick and Indiana limestone was constructed on the east end
of the original building.
I The original portion of the building is in the Greek Revival style. This style
� is represented in the central "temple" mass which forms the portico and main
entrance. Two main wings running north and south from the central mass feature
quoining at the corners and a decorative cornice which runs around the entire
structure.
The addition, constructed in 1962, is a design exhibiting clean and simple
lines, intended to meld the old with the new.
PARKING LOT
Adjacent to the library parcel is a City-owned parking lot which provides 78
parking spaces. Bids will be accepted for long-term lease and/or option-to-
purchase arrangements for all or part of the parking area. The City may favor
the purchase option if new construction is proposed, requiring the parking area
for a structure.
BUILDING CON�ITION
Evaluations of the library building were done for structural soundness and
necessity af repair. Both the new and old sections of the building were found to
be physically sound. Structural constraints to development exist in that load-
bearing walls prevent any substantial increase in interior usable space.
However, the two sections taken together offer a good opportunity for a
multip7e-use facility. The mechanical and electrical systems for plumbing,
heating, and air-conditioning will require upgrading and overhauling.

FINANCING
The Iowa City public Library has been nominated for placement on the National
Register of Historic Places. Placement on the Register enables property owners
to take advantage of federal matching grants-in-aid for preservation purposes,
and to enjoy certain tax advantages under the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981.
The City may be able to offer Industrial Revenue Bonds for this project
depending upon the outcome of pending federal legislation. Please contact our
affice for current financing information.

PROPOSAL SELECTION
In evaluating a development proposal, the City will examine how well the
proposal satisfies our basic objectives of increasing the tax base and
encouraging downtown revitalization.

To mai�e Iowa grow, attract

� �7, I �/
The� l98Us �� se a new klnd o�
between the stntes. As [he federal govemment Mary Neuhauser
cuts back tunding tor domestic programs, leaving ��
states to solve [helr'own problems, every state
will be assess(ng i[s ability to manage Its own
resources and to plan tor Its survival and
development in competition with ell the other
states.
lowa began th(s ansessment In the recen[
"Buflding Blocks to Progress"�conference spon-
sored by Govemor Aay. The purpose at the three-
day meeting was to take a hard look at the
present conditlon o[ the state's economy end t0
sugges[ avenues which mlght promise Increased
future economic vitality to meet the needs ot the
state.
Part(cipants, including members o! the buei•
ness wmmunity, state and local govemment
representatives, educaton and o[her groups trom
the state gave thelr•perspectives on the lssues
lowa taces. The topics included tranepoRation,
energy, natural resources, educntion and cap(tai
fortnation. Members dlswssed the need to
improve the transpoctatton network by meln[ain-
ing roads and 6ridges, seving key rallroads,
funding trens(t and the need tor adequate
Rnanclal resources.
Others discussed. ways to cope with the
increasing costs of energy and the inequity o[
severance taxes Imposed by other states. They
debated possible new sources of �energy, includ-
ing conse�vation. '
Some mem6ers stressed the need to develop
and conserve natural resources, Including soil
and water. Others explored the Issue of
continuing to provide tor educattonal excellence
in the face o( decl(ning enrollments and scarce
tinancial resources. Many were vocal about
methods to attract venture capital to the state.
The participants taced real�s[ically the prob•
lems that ezlst in lowa. Probably the core ot ell
of them is thal present revenues cannot matntain
the same quality of services the peaple of Iowa
expect. The challenge Is to discover why the
dispadty is occurdng and how to change the
situation to encoutage economic development
while maintaining lowa's quality o( Iffe.
In uddltion to lhe obvfous problem of loss o[
(edcral tunds, lowa Is also losing its young and
educated people to other states wlthaut nttract-
ing the same k�nd of people Into the state. lown Is
Iosing industzial'Jobs and not replac(ng lhem. It
is losing cap(WI nnd no[ attracdng new capital
Into lhe state. In other words, the Investment
climatc is not as attracllve es It could nnd should
be.
Reasons why Iowa•s investment climate is not
favorable were hotly debated. Some mem6ers
claimed that Iowa's usury laws make out�obstnte
investment a better risk. Some (ound tax breaks
for business lnadequate. Others thoughtthe high
cost af labor or energy was responsible. �
•These perceptions are not easliy ,dismissed.
Serlous study o[ where the competitive dtsadvan•
tages Ile ought to be undetf:aken by as neutral
body as possible. Each facto: should be wefghed
(n fashbning a comprehensive policy to guide the
economic development policles of state and locat
governments. , �.
While looking at those poss(ble disadvantages,
eny plen should aiso weigh the great advantages
that fowa possess�s. While everyone' would
certainly agree that the land Is our No. 1
resource, we forget'another resource which to
many businesses and IndusMes is just as
important. It !s lowa's quallty of 11fe..
As a place�to live and to br(ng up families, .
iowa takes a back seat to no one. lowa embodles
the good things, o( grow(ng up In America: fine '
schools, open government, low crime rate, clean
uir, sports and concerts and the arts for everyone,
a traditlon of hard work and rewurds on [he basis
o[ what you do, not who you are, and people
really concemed about making thetr communi•
ties good places to live. �
Maybe that's why all the 1'V commercials look
as if they were set In Iowa. It's the place people
like to think of as home.
In fashioning an econom(c development pol•
icy, the two pieces must tit together — a good
business dlmate combined with that spedal �
qual(ty of life. In a speech to the conference, Rep.
Tom Tauke suggested that fowa should actively
pursue serv(ce (ndustry, such as )he new field of,
computer•based informatton services. lowa
would be n natural for such an industry. Even
people Irom outside the state wonder why we
haven't�one more to promote It here. High•tech
Industry seeks areas where there is a well•
�educated and productive wark farce and where
tam(lies want to Iive. If we want this klnd of
industry, we will have to work hard fo get it,
because everybody else wantsSit, too.
Whntever kind of eccnomlc development th�s
state is going to ' achleve will require a
coordlnated and'cooperative eftort by business
and labor, Republicans and Democrats pulling
togelher. We must cnll on the resources evallable
Irom our colleges� and unlverslties and the
financial comm(tment by the peopie through

Re: Travel
r
.�
A. Expenditure Reductions
In a period of budget reductions and revenue shortfall, it becomes
increasingly necessary to scrutinize operating expenses. Therefore, the
proposed departmental budget requests for FY83 for travel which amounted to
$90,123 have been reduced to $53,200. Similar reductions will be made in
the PY82 budget in the near future.
B. Priorities '
Effective immediately travel priorities are:
1. Business Necessity. Examples: Delivery of bonds and documents, !
legislative affairs and testimony, required meetings with other I
governmental agencies, meetings of the Iowa League of Municipalities
and affiliated groups.
2. Special Needs: Examples: Criminal investigations, transportation of E
• prisoners and other similar activities.
3. Reimbursable Travel. Examples: Grants or other financial support
for training purposes, inspection of facilities and meeting of �
technical groups.
I 4. Required Traininq. Examples: Certification or continuing education �
standards. ,
5. Optional Traininq and Personal Development. Examples: Short
traim ng programs which you determine will increase your perfarmance
capabilities.
i 6. Professional and Technical Meetinqs. Examples: Regional and
! national meetings of professianal and technical groups.
I
i C. Other Guidelines
I
(� 1. Out-of-state training services are to be utilized only when in-state
facilities are unavailable.
2. On1y one out-of-state professional or technical meeting, at City
' expense, wilt be approved yearly for department and divisian heads.
i In addition another out-of-state trip for training purpases may be

From: Oon S'chmeisle�,
Re: Status of the New Zoning Ordinance
As previously indicated to the City Council, the staff has begun the
development of a"short range" comprehensive plan that would project
growth patterns for approximately the next 10 to 20 years. Following this
memorandum is a preliminary report of an area in southwest Iowa City where
significant changes have affected the validity of the long range
comprehensive plan. The study is submitted not for your consideratian but
to exemplify the methodology being used in preparation of the short range
comprehensive plan and in updating the long range comprehensive plan.
The staff will be making a presentation to the City Council an Monday,
December 21, on the status and progress of the new zoning ordinance and
short range comprehensive plan. You might find it helpful to review the
southwest area report prior to our making the presentati'on. Again, the
report is not intended to present specific recommendations on land use
policies in the southwest area; a final report will be presented to you
later far your consideration. •

STAFF REPORT P,�����r���/�
SOUTHWEST AREA STU�Y �
The Iowa City Comprehensive Plan is based on data gathered from within the Iowa
City are:i. From the time it was adopted (May 1978) to the present, several areas
in Iow�. City have experienced or are experiencing changes. Since the
Comprehensive Plan is a working document and guide for local decision-makers, it
shai�ld reflect any changes that are experienced.
The intent of this area study is to view both the long-range and short-range
development patterns for the Southwest Area of Iowa City. This area includes
the land located south of Melrose Avenue and generally west of Sunset Street to
the north and the airport to the south. The long-range plan reflects an
ultimate land use pattern which, at this time, seems best able to serve the
future needs of a growing Iowa City.
The short-range plan attempts to plan more realistically for present potential
development with regard to:
1) the staging of compact and contiguous growth;
2) the availability of municipal services; and
3) maximizing efficiency in the provision of municipal services.
For over ten years, extensive residential development has been occurring on the
west side. While much of this' development is spurred by the expansion of
employment at University Hospitals, area growth is made possible by available
sewer service capacity. Plans for the construction of Freeway 518 along the
Iowa �epartment of Transportation alignment with interchanges at Melrose Avenue
and Highway 1, the subsequent reconstruction of Highway 1 West as a four-lane
limited access facility, the realignment of Mormon Trek Boulevard, and the
Willow Creek sewer extension to the County Home together are already creating
both residential and commercial development pressures in the study area.
Due to the immanent impacts of these developments, a reassessment of land uses
in the Southwest Area is needed. This study will address the issues which have
arisen and suggest both long- and short-ra�ge land use plans for the area.
ISSUES
1. Sewer Availability
The Wi11ow Creek trunk sewer extension to the Johnson County Care Facility
has increased development opportunities in the study area. An 18 inch
sewer line was extended, and, due to the drainage pattern of the land in
the vicinity af this sewer, it has been determined that approximately 655
acres of land could naturally be serviced by this sewer. This potential
capacity is limited, however, by the ten inch trunk line at the point of
hook-up. The new extension runs into a bottleneck situation which
effectively limits, for the present time, the sewerage capacity. Although
� MICROFILME� BY

CEDAR RAPIDS•DES Id01NES

�
the sewerage from 655 acres of land could natura7ly drain to the ten inch
trunk line, based upon a population density of 12 people/acre utilizing 350
gallons of capacity/persan/day, this line has the ability to accommodate
only 166 acres within the designated service area. Approxtmately 47 acres
of this capacity have already been utilized by existing development in the
northeast corner of the service area, 3.5 acres of capacity by the Johnson
County Care Facility, and 88 acres for the Hunter's Run Subdivision. As a
result, the remaining capacity of this line has been reduced to 27.5 acres.
Two considerations for the City in determining the development sequence for
this area are: 1) maintaining compact and contiguous growth and 2)
maximizing efficiency in the provision of municipal services. If these
considerations are taken into account, the development of the remaining
capacity is most desirable in the area east of Freeway 518. Approximately
163 developable acres of land lie east of the Freeway 518 right-of-way and
within the ten inch trunk sewer service area. Taking the balance of the
capacity of the ten inch line into consideration, only 27.5 acres or
approximately 17 percent of this area may be serviced by this line at this
time. Consequently, development could be reasonably limited to the area
east of the Freeway 518 right-of-way. Unfortunately, the Hunter's Run
Subdivision, located to the west of Freeway 518, has already been approved.
This should not, however, negate the original goals of compact and
continuous growth.
2. Freeway 518 Interchanaes
The lacation of proposed Freeway 518 stirred controversy for nearly two
decades prior to the April 1980 agreement between the City of Iowa City and
the Iowa �epartment of Transportation (IDOT). Freeway 518 will now be
built on the a7ignment originally designated by IDOT�At one time, Iowa
City's preferred alignment for Freeway 518 was approximately one mile
southwest of IDOT's alignment. In the Trafficways Report prepared in April
1977, as part of the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan, several negative "urban
development" implications which could be expected from the IDOT alignment
for Freeway 518 were enumerated.
One of those implications identified commercial development pressure due
to the Freeway's interchange with Highway 1 as a potential problem. With
revised plans including an interchange at Melrose Avenue, attention must be
given to both interchanges.
Melrose Avenue Interchange
Residential development continues to be encouraged in the area
surrounding the Melrose interchange in accord with the Comprehensive
Plan's recommendation. While access to the Freeway makes commercial
development attractive, both commercial and industrial uses have been
discouraged in order to direct this development to the Highway 1
interchange. The City may not be able to support fu11 development of
commercial and industrial land uses at both interchanges. And since
ample, sewerable land is available at the Highway 1 interchange for
these 'more intensive land uses, it is the recommended location for
commercial and industrial growth. A problem may arise, however, in
that portions of the land surrounding the interchange are owned by the
! � •

CEDAR RAPI�S•DES td0INE5
�
;::_
County as part of the Care Facility. It is hoped that some agreement
wi71 be reached with them to restrict the sale and re-use of that land
for purposes other than residential.
b. Highway 1 Interchange
Residential development is discouraged in this general area due to its
location near the airport and its proximity to two main traffic
facilities. Commercial and industrial uses, therefore, are better
suited to this location. Presently, several commercial
establishments are located in the NE quadrant of the Freeway
518/Highway 1 interchange and the realignment of Mormon Trek
Boulevard provides access to this area from the north while providing
a frontage road for the freeway. With the availability of sewer
service, the NE quadrant is a logical choice for facilitating
controlled commercial development.
The NW and SW quadrants are located within the County's jurisdiction
and are not considered appropriate �'or annexation because of the cost
prohibitive nature of extending sewer service to the area. An
Annexation Report will recommend that a joint City-County agreement
be negotiated in order to control land use in Lhese quadrants of the
interchange.
The short-range plan suggests the SE quadrant be zoned agricultural to
reflect its present use and the fact that the area is not presently
sewered. The long-range plan for this area indicates an industrial
classification that could be developed as utility service is extended
or demand for industrial�area is created.
It is, therefore, the opinion of this report that commercial and industrial
development be contained at the Highway 1 interchange leaving the land
surrounding the Melrose Avenue interchange in residential use. This
recommendation is generall,y consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and reflects
the impact which Freeway 518 will have on the study area.
3. Annexation
In order to control development, especially to the east of Freeway 518,
annexation of a rather large tract of land is recommended. This will
enable zoning of the Highway 1 interchange for commercial and industrial
use, thereby limiting residential use in the airport's flight path.
A key purpose of annexation is to promote orderly urban growth.
Interdependence between a developing community and its undeveloped fringe
is obvious. Although corporation lines are no guarantee against
substandard development, the extensian of these boundaries through
annexation brings the fringe areas within the city and widens the
application of coordinated development practices.
The area proposed for annexation meets the general criteria for annexation:
HiCROFILMEO BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR AAPIDS•DES t401NE5
��•.
r��
4 �
1) the area is contiguous to the present city limits;
2) the area has a naturai "unity" with the city because of the
extension of major streets to and through the area and the
availability of sewer service presently or in the future;
3) numerous municipal services will be readily available to the
area without substantial capital outlay for the provision of
these services.
By annexing this crucial area on the Southwest side, the City has the
ability to direct and stage orderly and compatible growth patterns more
successfully and with greater certainty.
4. Ue-annexatian
A city should annex only that area of land which can be provided, in a
reasonable time-span, with municipal services (e.g., city water and
sewer). With the recommendation to annex a large portion of potentially
developable land, the City should assess whether there are tracts of land
in the study area which are not potentially developable and should possibly
be•de-annexed.
One area has been identified where the provision of utilities is unlikely.
The area of land bordered on the north by Rohret Road and the south by the
ci ty baundary 1 i ne i s 1 ocated i n a watershed whi ch drai ns to ar. area
outside of the present city limits. To extend utility service to this area
would not only be expensive, but would also apen up development of a large
area outside of the city limits.
De-annexation of all but a 300 foot wide strip fronting Rohret Road would
have the desired effect o.f directing frontage development along Rohret Road
but limiting both the cost prohibitive future municipa7 service commitment
to that area and undesirable development in the watershed.
5. Schools
The analysis carried out for this study indicates both higher potential
total population and elementary school populatian in the Southwest Area
than were predicted by the Comprehensive Plan. A number of factors could
influence these calculatians, including the rate of residential growth,
family size, housing type, and the effect of growth of unincorporated
areas.
', The Comprehensive Plan's recommendation of two elementary school sites is
not consistent with Schaol Board plans. Because etementary school
� enrollment in the district as a whole is seen as declining, no new
constructions are anticipated. It is possible an existing elementary
school, elsewhere in the city, will be closed within the near future due to
under-enroliment. The City should work closely with the School Board to
monitor both the number of elementary school children in the Southwest Area
and available capacity throughout the elementary schools on the west side.
As need for additional elementary school facilities in the Southwest Area
develops, students would be assigned ta alternate elementary schools
� MICROFILMED BY
� JORM MICROLAB
CEDAA RAPIDS•OES MOINES
's'�
Y:+�
throughout the city to maintain the viability of existing facilities and to
increase overall operational efficiency within the Iowa City school
system. While such a scheme conforms with planned efficiency, it would
depart from the Comprehensive Plan's concept of the neighborhood school.
In working closely with the School Board, Iowa City may choose to interpret
the "neighborhood school" concept according to the Board's definition.
Mainly for efficiency reasons, the neighborhood school is defined as that
elementary school a student attends, regardtess of the distance between the
school and the student's residence.
To acknowledge the School Board's decision regarding construction of
future elementary schools, the Comprehensive Plan should be amended. Two
existing elementary schools would remain to serve the Southwest Area's
current and future population. In order to accommodate the elementary
school population located in the Southwest Area of the city and maximize
efficiency within the school system, those elementary students exceeding
the capacity of Horn and Roosevelt Schools would receive bus service to
alternate schools with available capacity on the east side of the city. A
preliminary School Population Analysis was generated with the following
assumptions: 7) no development west of Freeway 518; 2) development at
maximum proposed densities; 3) similar housing types as currently
constructed, and 4) size and structure af an average family to remain the
same. The School Population Analysis projected 1,456 to 2,267 additional
elementary school children in the Southwest Area. Two additional schools
would eventually be needed to accommodate the students within the area.
With bus service to neighboring east side schools, however, education could
be provided at lower cast per student than providing two new schools, at
least in the short run.
Therefore, no elementary school site will be reserved for the Southwest
Area. By not committing the city to a school site, residential patterns
will not be encouraged based on a future, unknown service. Residents
should be clearly alerted by this action that the bussing of elementary
school children from this area wi11 be an economic necessity in the future.
Green Space
Open green space should continue to be encouraged along Willow Creek and
its tributaries in a lineal greenbelt pattern. This recommendation both
encourages green space and serves to limit devel:.pr�ent in the rlood plain.
In the area proposed for annexation, an open space buffer along natural
features is suggested to separate residential and Highway Commercial uses.
Proposed Land 'Jse
Two maps have been prepared which identify both the long-range and short-
range land use patterns for the Southwest Area. The long-range plan, which
at this time reflects the ultimate desired land use pattern for the area,
shows general use areas without assigning densities. The long-range view
will help guide development, allowing both public and private interests to
anticipate the likely growth patterns.

RECOMM-I�NS
�• With the exception of the Hunter's Run Subdivision, residential
development should be confined to areas east of Fregway 518 to promote
efficient, compact and contiguous growth.
2• An area of land generally east of the Freeway 518 and Highway 1 interchange
and extending north to the city boundary line should be annexed in order to
focus commercial and industrial development at this interchange.
3• Commercial develo ment �

County to restrict sale of their land at that interchange for uses other

4• An area of land south of Rohret Road should be deannexed to limit future
commitments for municipal services to that area which are cost prohibitive.
5• No school sites should be reserved in the study area. The School Board
anticipates no construction and assumes bussing is a realistic and economic .
necessity.
' 6• Open green space should be promoted where possible.
7. Agricultural zoning should be used as a staging technique to manage and
direct efficient, compact and contiguous urban growth.

This letter is to respond to your latest request to alter the
existing parking prohibition on Village Road. Specifically you are
suggesting that parking be allowed during the evening hours. A
revision to permit parking between 6:00 PM and 2:'00 AM certainly wilt
not inconvenience the general public. Therefore, I have instructed
the Public Works Oepartment to submit the proposed change for City
Council approval as soon as possible. This wi71 provide parkin5 on
one side of Village Road south from the intersection of Wayne Avenue.
If you have any other questions concerning this matter or other City

Mr. & Mrs. Greg McClenahan
650 S. Governor
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. & Mrs. McClenahan:
This letter is to respond to your petition for the elimination of
calendar parking in the 600 b7ock of South Governor Street. The City
Council considered this matter in its discussions in 1978 regarding
-� on-street parking throughout the City. At that time the City Council
� recognized there would be certain areas that would have slightly
differing needs and conditions from other areas. However, it is the
City Council's opinion that a uniform policy based upon area and upon
street width was the most desirable approach to take in regutating
on-street parking. The purpose of the prohibition is to reduce the
use of streets for parking, increase the safe use of streets by
eliminating parking on both sides and facilitate street cleaning and
snow removal.
The City Council is not disposed at this time to alter these
decisions and poticies reached after lengthy discussion and much
public input.
Sincerely yours,
Neal G. Berlin

r"`�:
A grant application was filed with IDEQ for the University Neights System on
July 30,.1981. Completed plans and specifications were suSmitted to your
department on �uly 17, 1981. At that time, we pointed out that this project
required coordination with the proposed improvements by the Iowa Department of
Transportation on Benton Street-Riverside �rive.
It is our understanding that there are FY 1981 funds which are, as yet,
uncomnitted to specific projects. We therefore, on behalf of the City of Iowa
City, ask that you fund the University Heights System project from these
funds. 'Ae realize that such funding may be out of sequence with regard to the
priority system. I�e recall that the River Corridor Sewer project in Iowa City
was funded out of sequence since it was ready and funding was available. We
believe funding the project now is warranted based on the following:
1. Interagency activity on the State level is involved. The IDOT
improvement is pending subject to acquisition of right-of-way. The City
wants to construct the underground improvements before the street
improvements are started. Such an approach wi11 avoid duplication of
construction, embarrassment and extra overail costs to the City, State
and Federal governments.
2. The proposed sewer construction will alleviate a surcharging problem
which involves two cities - Iowa City and University Heights. We
believe that this project, being regional in concept, should be funded.
3. The plans and specifications are ready for the bidding process.

TAPE-RECORDED: Reel N15, Side 2> 44-1310.
DISPOSAL Of OLD LIBRARY SITE 44'167
City Manager 6erlin called attention to the memo in the packet. Hauer
presented a inap showing parcel for library and parcel for parking, a
memo of the evaluation criteria, and a mockup of the brochure. Re9ard-
ing the parking lot, the consensus of the Council was to keep the options
open. The City Manager will reword to make it clear what Council's in-
tention is.
Councilinan Erdahl arrived, 3:10 PI�1.
lJording in the criteria regarding developer's experience in working with
the City will be clarified so that it does not exclude those not local.
Nauer has had several inquiries, given several tours. Some have wanted
to purchase a small amount of space near the building to assure parking.
The renovation of the building will have to conform to the Duilding Code.
COUNCIL DUSINESS
l. The Mayor called attention to the executive session on Thursday at
4 PM. Steve Rynecki will be here to discuss the AFSCME and Police
collective bargaining contracts.
2. Thursday is also the meeting of the East Central Iowa Council of
Governments. Comments �aere made regarding future and fundin9 for
JCCOG. At a recent meeting, City representatives gave a recommenda-
tion on the option they favored.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS 167-1310
The City Manager stated that he 4iould go Chru all the projects and
Council could comnent on priority as listed or ask questions.
Item l. 6us Maintenance 0iilding-This project �aill be in limbo until a
major source of funding for the overall project is available.
2. Remodeling of the Police Department-After discussion of the
Space Study next week, if there are no plans for. the near future,
funding should be added to the operating budget for ceiling and
lights.
3. Traffic Engineering-Service 6ay Renovation-If the transit build-
ing is situated at the Equipment Maintenance Service Duilding
area, there might be a shifting of other facilities, so staff
will not proceed on this request.
4. Camp Cardinal Road aridge-This bridge serves four families, and
has been repaired. An alternative project might be possible
after FW518 has been built. Repair of any bridges in Iowa City
is not high on the iDOT list of bridges to be repaired viith
State funding.

5. Schmadeke advised that this storm se�•ier had failed and has
to be replaced.-Dodge St./Ralston Creek Repair.
6. & 7. Iowa Ave. Dridge and Durlington St. aridge. The estimate
for this reconstruction include� an increase for inflation. The
proposal for lowa Avenue is being prepared by Engr. Schmadeke.
10. & 11. A memo explaining these has been received from Staff.
Council requested alternatives for the Governor/Durlington
Signalization, but agreed to proceeding with the Highway 6/Fair-
meadows Signalization with State participation in funding.
12. Funding will be used to purchase right-of-way for Foster Road
between Dubuque and Prairie du Chien Road. This is not
Glasgow's property.
13. Dubuque St. Reconstruction-The asphalt removed will be used to
pave parking lots. No other streets would be done next year.
Balmer called attention to the condition of First Avenue.
Neuhauser pointed out that motorists are not using the right
lane of N. Dubuque because of the deep dips for catch-basins.
Schmadeke advised that the City is not keeping up with repair
and maintenance of all the streets because of limited financing.
14. Kimball Road Curb and Sidewalk Improvements-The final word for
the explanation paragraph shoul�l be 'assessment'. There is
limited right-of-way to widen this street, which is narrower
than Idelrose Court. Property o�•iners can be assessed for the
work. Schmadeke advised that the curb should be installed
first and to do that, the sideo-�alk �aould have to be removed,
as it is next to the curb. This is a walkway to school.
18. Railroad Crossing Improvements-First /{venue. State will now
fund 1/3 of cost. Council did not think this crossing was bad
enough to repair.
20,21,22-Linn, Dubuque and Clinton Street Improvements-There was
general agreement by Council to participate in funding for
repair of sidewalks on Dubuque Street by issuance of G.J. 6onds
if there was participation from the inerchant;, Staff could
repackage this project regarding funding for sidewalks, vault,
public amenities> lighting, participation by Project Green and
property owners. A comnitment has been made to do Linn St.
23. Blackhawk hlinipark-Council questioned spending this proposed
money. Only temporary work will be done.
24. CDD Alley Project, Final Phase-City Manager Berlin will check
on �ahich block the work will be done.
25. Ne�a S�aimning Pool City Park-SI?owalter stated that the fee for
one admission to a'IJave-Tek' pool could be from 53 to 55.
Councilmembers favored a fee at a leVel that could be afford-
ed by everyone. Some Councilmen�bers �•�anted to investi9ate
building a pool �ahich could be used year-round.
26. Racquetball/Handball Courts-As the University �•iill be providing
more racquetball courts, the Council questioned keepin9 this
item in the CIP schedule. It was suggested that in future
surveys, various improvements be listed for citizens to rank
priority. Neuhauser called attention to complaints that there
are no provisions for ice-skating in Io�•�a City.
27. Napoleon Park-Staff has completed building of the Mercer Park
Maintenance Qldg. Showalter was directed to move the flagpole
from Happy Hollow Park to Mercer Park. The City I�anager was
requested to explore the possibility of r�ffers of funding from
agencies and service clubs who wisn to contribute to city
improvenients (such as park improvements).

28 & 29. Miller Park and Aber Park. Showalter will be reporting
next month on how park land can be acquired. Elm Grove Park
was not sold, so there WdS no start for a park acquisition
fund. Dalmer called attention to continuing to explore joint
use of school grounds.
33 thru 36. Bike�aays-Sources of fundin9 have not been identified.
Regarding the Rocky Shore Qikeway, Project Green has been talk-
ing �•iith the University. 6erlin thought recycled asphalt o-iould
not be satisfactory for a bikeo-iay. Use of receipts from bicycle
licensing, and a possible raise in fees o-ias discussed. This �•�ill
be scheduled for discussion with the bicycle groups.
37. Idaste�vater Treatment Facility-City Manager Derlin relayed the
present status regarding federal funding for Iowa City. It is
still at the 75% federal funding. Regarding the site, regula-
tions currently require that the land be acquired or be in
process of condeinnation by the time tlie City is at Step 3 of
the grant. He advised 4�aiting to see o-�hat bill the President
accepts.
38. University Heights Interceptor Sewer-This needs to be constructed

be called the Benton Street Interceptor.
41. North Corridor Sewer-Extension was discussed in conjunction �•�ith
the Oakes Subdivision. aerlin and Schmadeke clarified that this
extension is needed to serve the Oakes development, as the River
Corridor Sewer stops at Taft Speedway.
42. East Side Trunk Sewer-Elimination of 4200' of deteriorated sani-
tary sewer from the Treatment Plant to Iowa Ave., �aill necessitate
transferring University buildings to the neo-i Corridor Seo-ier.
This project was not done in conjunction with the Corridor Seo-ier

the University re9arding sludge from the University lJaste�aater
Treatinent Plant did not work out.
43. Southwest Interceptor Sewer replacement-This services Mark IV
Apts. primarily and the West Side Lift Station dumps into it.
Development west will tie into this line. ts a priority as it
may collapse. The se�aer for the Johnson County Home already
ties into this line, and the replacement will start at. that
tie-in and go to Mark IV.

replace the road surface.
46 thru 49. Airport Improvements. The Master Plan, Council has
indicated iC riould put some money aside for this, and there o-�ill
be a request in the nperating budget. The Runway Crack Sealing
should be a priority, a�d this was taken into account as the
opei•ating budget for the .^.i�•port was prepared. Derlin suggested
that T-hangar construction be financed some other V�ay.

COUNCIL LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
Oecember 15, 1981
COUNCIL LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE: December 15, 1981, at 8:45 A.M. at the
Highlander Inn. Mayor John Balmer presiding.
COMMITTEE MEhiDERS PRESENT: Neuhauser, Balmer, Perret. Absent: None
LEGISLATORS PRESENT: Senator Arthur Small, Representative Jean Lloyd-Jones,
Representative Minette Doderer.
STAFFMEMBERS PRESENT: City Manager Derlin, City Clerk Abbie Stolfus,
Assistant City Manager Dale Helling.
Mayor Balmer called attention to the agenda provided for the meeting.
He questioned what the state function would be in handling the block
grants. The Appropriation Committee has appointed a sub-committee, and
this committee is sending a questionnaire to local officials so that
problems can be identified.
Regarding passage of a Local Option Tax bill, it was pointed out that cities
have not taken advantage of hotel-motel tax. Dalmer thought that it was
possible that there was not so much opposition to it as previously.
Doderer pointed out proposal for 1Q across the board sales tax. Iowa
City did not want to impose hotel/motel tax unless Coralville did. This
would need a referendum. Perret suggested a�aheel tax.
Cost of two levels of government (City and County) was noted. Certain
areas of cooperation could be investigated. The.comment �aas made that
it Yias wasteful to add two more supervisors, and that it was even hard
to get two cities to combine.
Small noted that the bill regarding tort liability had passed the Senate. '
Neuhauser will send a copy of the Iowa Law Review article written by Dan �
Ellis to the legislators.
Municipal Assistance was appropriated for two years, so should be the same
unless the Governor makes an across the board cut. It is a problem as
the federal budget is not y,et set.
City Mgr. Derlin questioned who was in charge at Department of Environmental
Quality. Small advised going thru Stanek at OPP. If necessary, cities
might be given a delay in time for ce1^tifying the budget.
Regarding funding for Mass Transit, the legislators thou9ht there �aould be
no change in the appropriation. They also suggested that cities join
forces to lobby. There ivas discussion of the Land Use bill. The League's
participation was suggested. Small explained a tie-in to tax abatement
as has been done in the East U.S.
It was decided that the next meeting would be in February.
Meeting adjourned, 10:00 A.M.
