Patrick White First Assistant March 2, 1977 Madam Mayor and Members of the Council: sTEL. 337.9685 AREA CODE 319 CIVIL -JUVENILE DIVISION J. Patrick White Paola Desii Daniel L. Bray A��PdAR 219'17 r'tE3G1E STOLFU :. CITY CLERK You are undertaking consideration of a proposed ordinance establishing a resources conservation commission for Iowa City. I would like to suggest that you consider the merit of attempting to address such concerns on an areawide basis and, in the process, give your support to reviving the Johnson County Commission on Environmental Quality in lieu of establishing yet another city commission. 'During 1970, various "environmental" concerns began to engage the City Council --not unlike today's obvious concern with "energy". Not surprisingly, one suggested response was a city commission. During the council's consideration of that idea, it was generally agreed that the nature and extent of environmental concerns have very little relation to the geography of municipal corporate limits. The result was a decision to attempt an areawide effort. A committee was formed to prepare an agreement; it did so and accomplished execution of an Agreement by all cities in the county, the county itself and the university. I have attached a copy of the recorded Agreement for your reference. If you will compare the purpose and duties of the Johnson County Commission on Environmental Quality with those in the draft resources conservation ordinance, you will find, I believe, a basic compatibility and similarity of thought. The Johnson County Commission on Environmental Quality has been in a virtual state of non-existence now for quite some time. The absence of financial support combined with the frustrations and absences of appointees were the main reasons for the Johnson County Commission on Environmental Quality reaching this state. I assume that your intention will be to fund and/or provide staff support for a commission and any.suchsupport, along with new appointments, could quickly revive the Johnson County Commission on Environmental Quality to a functioning level. F-1 City Council March 2, 1977 Page 2 Energy needs assessments, public information clearing- houses, land -use implication analyses, environmental impact analyses of energy developments, and air quality and supply and waste water and solid waste treatment and management are all complex substantive items which need logically to be addressed on an areawide basis. It is the expressed intention of the Environmental Protection Agency to use a portion of the Solid Waste Act of 1976 to "raise the level of public consciousness" of the needs and potentials of resource conservation. EPA will over the next 2-3 years be providing considerable funding for such programs on an areawide basis. The Solid Waste Management Act of 1976 is a 11208 -type" federal program. It promises to be another problem -area for identifying and assigning federal -state -local responsibilities. Local government needs to demonstrate leadership in order to avoid the state assuming yet another major area of authority in some administrative state agency beholden to itself rather than the people of this state. Our own areawide initiative would be a step in the right direction. I''- I will provide the RPC Executive Board with a copy of this letter and request it to discuss this matter as well.

Vevera and his departure fron the Johnson County Regional Planning; Coimnission, I vied planning on the county level as very important so as to cut through the labyrinths to progress imposed by the many jurisdictions in urban Johnson County. The commission provides us with the oonortun.ity to examine the problems of our area, in this case, very important needs of parks, recreation and open space for our citizens. The report seems to me a good concept not a static straight jacket. But without a council member on the commission, the concept of planning at the county level will fail,and the straight jacket of inefficient jurisdictions will tighten. Perhaps the problem does not lie with the commission or with the particular things that Vevera objects to. I think much of the problem lies in a lack of power by the board or the county to make concepts reality. On the other side of the coin, fewer and more realistic municipalities in metropolitan Johnson County would give the comninsion and the county a much better organized constituency to serve and to get ideas from. But, as it is, we must make do with what we have. And what we don't have is representation on the commission.

Washington Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Council Members: 1 0 W A 0 INTEREST RESEARCH GROUP March 1, 1977 On January 18, I submitted to this Council a proposal for a municipal energy conservation program. I pointed out at that time the seriousness o: the energy situation which faces all citizens of this commu-4zy and nation - a situation in which our current primary energy sources or, rapidly lwint- dling, in which the "promise" of nuclear power has become an ::r.° -"!filled :1:%� uncertain hope, in which conservation provides r. si:,:ple and o.: to .mean: - to stem the tide of rising.prices and insecure supplies. Since January 18, the renewed "energy c_iais" has again ::.::cad these realities to everyone's attention. Since January 18, the propose(, centrL: Iowa nuclear facility - the only nuclear power plant placed on order is the -United States last year - has been "suspende6" indefinitely. As President Carter suggests, our energy problems have just begun. Iowa PIRG is gratified that the City Council has initiated the estab- lishment of an Iowa City Energy Commission, as suggested in my January pro- posal. We urge the Council to proceed as quickXy as possible in completing this process, for there is much to be done by the proposed commission. During the past month,, Iowa PIRG has bac-.a studying enerAy use in tha Iowa City-Coralville arca. One a>;:ect of oir; study is an update of an en(-r- gy conservation survey ::onducted by the Inst:_ate of ?ublic Affairs two yc..: ago. Our survey reveal;; that the City of Iowa City has implemented to a•':.. only 31 per cent of 92 )ossible energy conserving me:.sures 11Stu4 in t surv<:y. 'Office:: 319-3S3-7041 :: Activities Center :: EMU :: Iowa City, Iowan?:.; : Comments to I.C. Cool, 3/1/77 • page 2 Although there has been a net increase in measures undertaken since 1975, this Council should be aware of the tremendous potential for saving:; in both energy and money that would result from a more aggressive conserva- tion policy. Many of the measures considered in our survey could be initiated simply and with minimum expense, but have not been undertaken in Iowa City - measures such as reducing unnecessary lighting, lowering winter indoor tem- peratures, elimination of employees' use of nonessential personal appliances, adjustment of coater fountain temperatures to cool rather than cold, and more frequent tire -pressure checks for all City vehicles, to name a few. The Federal Energy Administration reports that Virginia Beach, VA, per- forms a maintenance check and tune-up for city vehicles every 2000 miles, and has estimated a 10% fuel savings over 10,000 mile checks. They have al- so mandated that cruising police vehicles remain stopped at an inconspicuous road location for at least 10 minutes of every hour, for a fuel saving of 10-25%. Seattle, Washington, has undertaken a "hill-A-k'att" program, which has succeeded in reducing winter -time energy consumption in its downtown office buildings by 42%, by reducing unnecessary lighting, turning off lights com- pletely when not in use, lowering thermostats, reducing hot water tempera- tures, and turning off space conditioning completely during non -working hours i and on weekends. rMany other measures, such as replacement of full-sized cars with smaller vehicles, and replacement of incandescent with flourescent light fixtures, will pay for themselves almost immediately. And even major measures -(such as additional insulation, or computerized regulation of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems) would pay for themselves within ten years at current fuel prices, according to the F.E.A. New city policies can yield additional savings, such as life -cycle cost- ing of all new capital improvement projects, rather than simple first -cost criterion.Still other policies can save the entire community energy and money: The City Council should encourage maximum use of mass transit, bi- cycles, and other alternatives to automobile use. Recycling should receive greater emphasis, as should the rapidly increasing feasibility of solar and other alternative energy systems. It is only when our elected officials take Comments to T.C. C40il, 3/1/77 • patle 3 conservation seriously, and urge us to do the same, that we will see a sub- Ltantial reduction in energy waste here in Iowa City. With these comments in mind, I a m submitting tonight three resoluLio,. relate4 to energy conservation, which I hope the Council will review - along with my general comments of January 18 - prior to the informal Council meet- ing next Monday. At that time, I hope that we can explore these proposals more thoroughly. The three resolutions are: 1. A Resolution Establishing a City Energy Conservation Policy. This in- cludes proposed restrictions on city uses of lights and appliances, heat- ing and cooling levels in buildings speed restrictions and other vehicle practices for the city fleet, and encouragement of car pooling and non - automobile travel by city employees. The resolution would establish a city staff Energy Coordinator and empower him/her to assemble an employee advisory committee to assist in city conservation planning and programming. 2. An Ordinance Establishing an Iowa City Energy Commission. This proposal is intended to complement the preliminary proposal circulated recently by Counc33� deProsse. It outlines a rationale for establi-ping such a Commission, enumerates the duties of the commission, and aniimerates thir- teen basic objectives for the commission. This ordinance proposes a total membership of 9 persons, and criteria for their selection. The city Energy Coordinator is added as an ex officio member under this pro- posal. , 3. A Resolution Supporting City Efforts in Energy Conservation. This pro- posal would establish an Energy Fund to collect savings from city energy conservation measures, and to disburse such savings for further energy research and programs. A full report on the recent Iowa PIRG survey of government conservation practices will be submitted to the Council shortly. We also will share with you the results of a recent audit of commercial, school and public buildings as soon as they are compiled. Iowa PIRG is also planning a survey of home energy use this spring. It is our hope that the information which we generate will be useful to the City in its research and planning.

SUAMITTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA, BY THE IOWA PUBLIC IN TEREST RESEARCH GROUP, MARCH .]. , 1977. — lAn energy audit is simply a listing in order of the quantity of energy used by energy -consuming devices and systems, and of building and equipment features which affect the :level of consumption. A rank ordering of energy uses allows the identification of the area(s) that consume the most energy. In general, the greater the quantity of energy used, the greater the opportunity for con- serving a portion of that use. Numerous energy audits have been developed by the Federal Energy :Administration and the U.S. Department of Commerce. 2The city should utilize life cycle costing for all new purchases rather than using the low first cost approach. Federal investigation has shown that the difference between two air conditioning systems, for example, can differ greatly' when costed through their operating lifetime. Efficiency in operation can pay back the initial difference in purchase price many times over the life of the air conditioning. Tests conducted by local governments, the federal ^;overnment Accounting Office, General Services Administration, and National Bureau of Stan- dards are available, and could be applied to municipal equipment. 3A peformance based code should be considered, one which sets standards for over- all energy consumption. This provides greater flexibility to designers and builders than mandatory design features for particular building components. ' �``o;'g ...... s..,l.^^.i...:..r'=cr.�cC:'.z^cel. Davis, Indio, and Sacramento County in California, and 11obbs in New Mexico, have all adopted energy conservation guidelines for new developments. Some of the mea- sures proposed are clustered Planned Unit Developments, narrowerstreets to les- sen heat gain, landscaping requirements, land use strategies that conserve ener- gy, design with solar orientation, limitations on location and height of build- ings and evergreen trees. 5The Commission could work with appropriate departments, agencies, and organiza- tions to : (a) Promote the establishment of an "Energy Shelf" in the Iowa City Public Library; (b) Arrange for films, displays, and workshops on energy conser- vation and alternative energy sources; (c).Collect and disburse information on on conservation in residential, commercial, educational, municipal, and trans- portation sectors; (d) Promote and publicize recycling of solid wastes where feasible. '^ 0 0 E A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING CITY EFFORTS IN ENERGY CONSERVATION WHEREAS, the City Council of Iowa City has established a City Energy Conser- vation Policy, and has designated authority to the staff of the City of Iowa City for carrying out this policy; and WHEREAS, the collection and distribution of data, research material, and in- formation requires staff time and operating expenses; and WHEREAS, the application of energy conserving techniques to the City's opera- tions will save considerable money; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Iowa City that an Energy Fund be established to collect these savings to be disbursed for: 1. Preparation of educational materials for City staff and the public. 2. Retrofitting of existing facilities and conversion to more energy- efficient operations. 3.

SUMBITTM TO THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA, BY THE IOW PUBLIC IN- TEREST RESEARCH GROUP, MARCH I , 1977. 3A " 0 0 March 3, 1977 Mr. Neal Berlin, City Manager and Iowa City Councilpersons As a 14 year volunteer to Babe Ruth and Little League Baseball, I would like to make my appeal to the Iowa City Councilpersons and the Park and Recreation Department to reconsider their recommendation to drop financial aid to the Youth Baseball and Softball Programs. I was a Babe Ruth Coach for 7 years (long before my children were in any program) and later served as a Director and President and currently coach Little League for the past 3 years. The number of persons who have given their time as volunteers and the man hours spent each year should be enough testimony that the Youth Programs,aided in a small way by City funding,is necessary. I know of no better way to invest our budget dollar than aiding and providing programs for our City's Youth. Quality programs build quality citizens. I.have seen those persons who benefited by a good.program return in adulthood as volunteers. I'm sure the meaningful experience they had as youngsters is being repaid with their time and efforts now. They return also to community service in many other ways, if not more than being decent citizens and not an expense to society. I expect you may know that the programs are open to anyone who wants to participate at respective age levels. Finances are derived from player entry fees, concession stand receipts, and donations from service clubs, local businesses and individual contributions. Before you make any changes in the present allocations, I would dike to invite you to observe the programs. There are many other credits the programs offer. It is one of the few remaining devices contributing to full family participation as players, coaches and spectators. Any methods lending to that end I hope you won't deny. Let's increase our investment in the future by adding programs,and by so doing develope our young people into participating citizens. I plead for our future. If you have any questions concerning my appeal, please feel free to contact me. MAR 41977 ABB1E STOLFU& CdfY CLM Robert A.

The list of people also are interested in having the City Council study carefully the proposal of filling up the boulevards along Washingston street as has been done along Iona Avenue. The people signing the list are interested in the safety of motorists. They are not seeking publicity or wishing to oppose Project Green.

FUS CITY CLERK This is to request that the trees and bushes on Iowa Avenue should be trimmed and properly cared for as we find that these bushes and trees are obstructing the vision of motorists, as for instance on the corner of Johnson and Iowa Avenue there have been five accidents in 1976 and six at that location in 1975. Going south at that corner compells a driver to stop and creep along watching out for Iowa Avenue traffic coming from the west. 14 also think that the Iowa City Council should give very careful consideratio fie -filling up the center part of the boulevards along washingston street in a similar fashion as we now find along Iowa Avenue.

The Council has considered the matter and they would prefer to install meters only in front of the building and not meter the entire area from Van Buren east. There is an item on the Council agenda for March 22, 1977, to install three metered parking spaces in front of the building in question. 1 believe installation of meters will substantially alleviate the problems mentioned in your letter.

It is our understanding that attempts to dedicato. the above-mentioned streets have been made by the original sub-d�:velopor in the past. However) a reluctance on his part to assume the costs of street assess- ments for the type of construction we contemplate resulted in the denial of city council approval for street dedication. Consequently, the area is suffering from lack of adequate main- tenance) which produces collateraoifficulties. Improper drainage, unnecessary erosion, burdens on ingress an egress, not to mention a decline in property values, aro among the hardships we are certain could be alleviated by approval of a street program in our area.

Homosexuals, whatever ones views of their morality or impact on public health, are individuals. 'r kA' they are immoral or sick is a debatable subject and I do not feel that they are to a sufficient degree as to enact lams against them or to fail to protect their rights as individuals in a democratic society. Homosexuality is a fact. I would certainly not try to hide these facts from a child no more than I would hide the fact of human violence and conflict. I wonder i:hether two people in a public embrace might be more moral to observe than two people in a public fist fight. And whether homosexuals constitute a large enough population to protect from discrimination is an irrelevant Q�tion. The question is to what extent must the majority protect,`�i& infringement of a minoritgbs rights. The Oonstitution makes it perfectly evident that everyone has the rights to his individuality, his equality, and his citizenship within the framework of the Constitution. Since the majority is synonymous with the government then laws must be enacted persuant to the Constitution. The proposed ordinance thus takes on an added importance than mere numbers or nower of those effected would lead one to believe. The same goes for singles and those living together out of wedlock. You have failed the Constitution and liberty at the local level. Please correct the fault soon.
