Members of Council: CITY CLd(K
I write to request ,your considered approval of the ordinance regarding
"affectional prference" now before the Council. I also write for those who
cannot write,
There are male and female homosexuals in Iowa City who are afraid not only
of discrim*tion but also of retaliation. 'Their fear of retaliation prevents
many of them from openly testifying to the very existence of discrimination.
Their silence should not be construed as proof of the absence of a problem in
Iowa City, Rather, it should be perceived as proof of the presence of one.
I am personally acquainted wicli a number of homosexuals who have, overtly
or covertly, been the objects of local discrimination in employment and hous-
ing. The discrimination against some of this population produces fear of dis-
crimination among the entire population. (I use the word fear rather than
paranoia deliberately because paranoia implies that there is, objectively,
nothing to cause fear, And this is not the case in Iowa City.)
As America is a sex -obsessed culture, so Iowa City is a sex -obsessed city.
And if the culture is obsessed with what it defines as "normal," it is safe to
assume that it is more obsessed with what it defines as "deviant," It is
further safe to assume that this obsession has direct and immediate discrimin-
story implications.
What the Council must decide is not whether homosexuality is normal or
acceptable. That is a cultural issue. Rather, it must decide whether it is
illegal to discriminate against homosexuals in employment and housing. That is
a legal issue. An analogue is appropriate here. If the issue were discrimin-
ation against persons on the basis of race, one would not argue on the normalcy
or acceptability of "blackness" or "brownness," as examples. Instead, one
would argue on the legality of discriminating against persons who are black or
brown. The same holds true for the issue of discrimination on the basis of
sex or sexual preference.
While I applaud the stance on this issue taken by Councilpersons Newhauser,
deProsse, and Perret, I stronly urge the other members of Council to reconsider
the issue, and vote affirmatively - in every sense of that word.
Sincerely, A�
IeWL Md� J0.

Members of the Council:
I am writing in support of the proposed.Human Rights
Ordinance. The protection which this revision of the
ordinance will extend is much needed and long over-
due. There are several aspects of the ordinance with
which I disagree, however.
Itis unfortunate that the wording was changed from.
'effectual preference' to 'homosexuality.' This once
again re -enforces the concept of the gay experience
as a primarily sexual. one and not the total emotional
and per sonalL'committment.that it is.
5 }
I,am.also very disturbed that both 'homosexuality' and.
-' 'lmarital`status'-.may;not be included in the housing
clause. My black friends will, I hope, forgive me for
using this analogy: While you maintain that no one should
discriminate in housing, by not,including these categories
'"in 'the ordinance you seem to be saying, as was said not
.all that long ago to blacks, 'Yes, you have the right to
decenthousingas,long as it's not in my building or on my
block.' For many poeple this leaves as the only really
secure housing that which the landlord could care less
about as long as the tenants. don't complain too much about
cockroaches:or broken windows. Separate is seldom equal.
Surely housing is'second only to employment in a decent
lifestyle.
Despite my reservations about the ordinace, I feel that it
is a good.,step in expanding rights and protection of those
rights,to cover all citizens. I would also like to thank
the members of the Human Relations Commission for the work
'that they have done on this ordinance.
Sincerely,
Linda J. Yanney
Human Relations Commission.

At a time when Human Relations is now receiving inter-
national attention, it is not only commendable but
appropriate that the city of Iowa City consider an
ordinance to protect the Human Rights of it's minorities —
including homosexuals. The proposed ordinance is an inroad
that is welcomed by all minorities: It. demonstrates
responsible concern by the City Council in protecting the
rights of their constituency in considering the formatinn
of a Human Rights Commission.
It is however, not without an element of risk that
some of us_ appear to speak representing the homosexual
clause. Risk is defined as "exposure to loss or injury."
To the homosexual, exposure of -his or.her sexual orientation
is the greatest fear that he can live with. Ananimity
has;.b.e'en the.only insurance against that risk, In a con-
:-versation with a,homosexual friend who is a long time
"employee of a prominent Iowa City firm, I asked his reaction
to the'proposed ordinance. It was favorable aad urged
it's 'passage. I then asked if he was enthused enough to
come forward to speak concerning his interest. His reply
was"everi if he were a public speaker, he could not risk
losing,his'ananimity; that he had no employment protection, in
this
'
and would probably be met at the front door with a notice
reguard
that: he no longer had a job." In simple words this man
would lose his livelyhood from a.company he has served
faithfully many years of his life. Simitlar reaction was
Voiced>'concerningrhousing and public accomodations. "I have
no protection and cannot take the risk".
Many.of us risk the unknown reaction of .fellow.emloyees
and friends; other students and faculity; and our daily
acquaintences. So why come forward'. ow?? ..Because this
'
proposal is under consideration nowla..d w� are to be affected
by it/ we must speak now.

In short, homosexuals must, as a group, seek to end
our tradition of silence and force the larger society
to confront the issue of homosexuality and its threatment
of homosexuals. By publicly acknowledging our sexual
orientation, and by using the methods of other minority
groups, homosexuals may be able to change those features
of society that have caused us problems in the past.
In this, we will be assisted by the present flow of
social change; especially the younger generations's ac-ept-
ance of minority groups and different life styles.
'
The- campaign for our human rights will be forth-
right,.diligent and sincere. We will continue to use
the, opportunities of public legislation (such as this
hearing).to further our cause. It is our duty to properly_
inform and educate the majority. It is. however, necessary
that -that majority also re-examine their present attitudes toward „
and assist in their own educationofa misunderstanding that
has existed far too long

My name is Neil O'Farrell, and I am chairperson of the Gay Peoples'
Union of Iowa City. I want to address my remarks to the gay experience.
Several years ago, as a newspaper reporter, I had the very real pleasure of
interviewing Mr. Merle Miller, a writer who had just completed a book called
Plain Speaking: An Oral Biography of Harry Truman, then on the bestseller
lists across the country. tiller, who grew uD in Marshalltown, Iowa, gra-
duated from the University of Iowa, where he was editor of the Daily
Iowian. Miller wears thick glasses, and he knew that President Truman had
had to wear glasses since boyhood, so he asked Truman during an interview if
he had ever been called "four eyes" when he was a youngster.
"Yes, they called me 'four eyes,"' Truman said. "And they also
called me a 'sissy.' I played the piano when I was a boy, and back then any
boy who played the piano was always called a 'sissy."' Truman said that he
had not been a,�papular youth because he had always been different, an outsider.
"But you know," he said. "It's not the differences that are so important.
1' It's how you deal with those differences."
Several years before Miller published the Truman biography, he
wrote another book called On Being Different: What It Means To Be a Homosexual.
The work chronice ad the difficulty of growing up in Marshalltown, Iowa, of
going to school in Iowa City, and of living his life as a writer. Miller's
works illustrate that one can be different, and yet have so much human worth,
'pi
f
.a;.
ICs•;;
page 2
that it is possible to become a President, or a best selling author, or merely
an unsung, but highly valuable member of the community in which one lives.
I am gay. Crowing up gay means that in my youth, I was forced
to grapple with the feeling of being worthless, that because of that part of
myself, I was too unspeakable and vile for words. Our society says nothing
positive to us; it provides no healthy models for the pay youth to use to pattern
our lives. We are oftentimes overwhelmed with feelings of isolation, pain-
ful loneliness, and an inability to fulfill our needs for trust, for warmth,
for sharing and caring affection.
In addition, being gay means that no matter how hard we work, how
well we do our job, we can be fired not for incompetence, not for having
broken any law, but merely for who we are. Being gay means that no matter
how considerate we are of our nieghbors, no matter how well we maintain our
"e -
apartment c , we can be kicked out on the street for doing nothing
but merely trying to fulfill our human potential. To survive, we are forced
to live our life in secret. We are insidiously stereotyped, and persecuted
U if- law5
for.thac characiture which rarely, if ever, has any relationship to the
truth. We are discriminated against for something over which we have no con-
trol, and for having the stupid audacity to try to find fulfillment and love
in a world in which finding growth experiences is oftentimes difficult under
the very best of circumstances.
The truth is that gays make up a large minority in the mainstream,
and if we are not highly visable for our affectional preference, then we are
nonetheless highly visable for the myriad roles we play vital to the commu-
nity. We are your doctors, lawyers, dentists, accountants, clergymen,
S38' .

secretaries, teachers, and reporters. We are even your neighbors, your
friends, your sons and daughters. Because we are presently contributing so
dynamically to lie in this communtiy, by that regard we want those same pro-
tections afforded to those other citizens of Iowa City.
L�
Therefore our concerns are very basic. We wantf_no, we need
those rights guaranteed to all Americans: the right to life --a place to live,
and a job to earn a living; liberty --the freedom to develop to our fullest
human potential; and the pursuit of happiness --the chance to lead a life that
is fulfilling and productive, not only for ouselves and the gay community,
but indeed for the total community in which we live.
Thus, being gay, as I have outline -is not easy, and it never
ted oto

I find that I am gay, an I3 appy, attR I would consequently

which'I am comfortable, --a g#ve

look into my heart, I see a great deal of beauty,. I want to live a life
so that -RU, inner beauty`is as apparent to others as it is evident to myself
This isof onlA the essence of gay pride, but indeed of human pride.
Thus, we are not discussing gay rights, per se, as much as we
5-,3k .

are discussing human dignity. We all have before us the challenge of under-
scoring that we are all born with great human dignity and beauty, and that
the people of Iowa City welcome a contribution from everyone living here
in making this city a good place to live and grow. We will be reaffirming
q.�eQ Comma ec¢S
Truman s wise hi osophy that differences are no important as are indi-
vidual contributions made for the good of the society in which we live.

I would like to make a few comments concerning what the proposed ordinance
will and will not do for the gay people of Iowa City.
However, it first might be a good idea to consider just how large that pop-
ulation is. You have said that because there are few members who participate
in local gay organizations, that this ordinance will affect few people living
in the city. And yet this is not the case. To give you an idea of the number of
gays in this community --these figures are based on various studies throughout
the country --you should realize that the part of the population by disposition
that is either exclusively or predominantly gay is about eitht to ten percent
of all of those adults in the community. That does not mean that many people
are active in the gay community, but it does mean that you touch that many
people in any action that affects gays. What we are talking about is probably
? around 3,000 to 3,500 people in Iowa City.
And yet by passing this ordinance, you will not either increase or decrease the
number of gay people in Iowa City,, Science, History, Literature, and Theology
have not adequatly explained the origins of either hetrosexuality or homosexuality.
Sexuality is an unexplained mystery over which we have little or no..control.
We are not likely to affect it one way or the other no matter what laws we pass.
Instead, this ordinance, if passed, does nothing for the gay community of
Iowa City othbr than to provide them a means by which they may make complaints
of discrimination, and to provide them an avenue through which justice may be
pursued.
The ordinance, if passed, does not have any power to change the way people
of the community view gay people. With this in mand, the ordinance cannot be
seen as a lidfhse to be any more open about the gay lifestyle than in the past.
There are(severa) reasons for this.
One reason is that the protection of the ordinance does not extend outside of
Iowa City. Cay people who are looking for housing or jobs elsewhere would not
be in a position to be any more open that they have been in the past. Another
reason gay people will not be any more open about their lifestyle is that in
many cases, freindships with their neighbors and co-workers, or thier relation-
ships with their family can be maintained only by keeping their affectional
preferences sectet and hidden.
,538'
• •
Gays, like most people, ane essentially private individuals who will do
nothing to jepardize that privacy.
What the ordinance does do, hawever, is to alleviate the real and present
fears that haunt most gay people that they are never secure in their jobs or
their homes because of their lifestyles. It will provide gays only with a
process by which they can be ensured of their basic human rights, rights
which should never have been denied them, and rights for which they have waited
far too long. — —

As an Iowa City property owner with rental units, I do
not discriminate on the basis of race, religion or people's
sexual orientation.
I do not think people should suffer discrimination on the
basis of the above three factors. I think it should be
illegal to discriminate against tenants because of color,
religion and sexual preference. I support the proposed
amendment to make discrimination on the basis of sexual
orientation illegal. Homosexuals should have the same
rental rights as other people.

To the members of the City Council
Iowa City, Iowa
I wish to express my personal opinion regarding the
proposed revision of the Iowa City housing ordinance.
We must not only be concerned with the rights of
citizens who seek housing, but must also be concerned with
the rights of those citizens who are property owners.
Property owners should have the right to discrimin-
ate against homosexuals or any other persons whose life
styles they believe to be immoral.
Since the Bible clearly indicates the immorality of
homosexuality and cohabitation of unmarried couples, property
owners may have strong convictions in these areas, and there -
fare ought to have the right to refuse housing to such per-
sons.
Thank you for hearing and considering all opinions on
this controversial matter.
Most sincerely,
E. Robert Petersen,

Attention: City Manager
Re: Bryn Mawr Heights, Parts 8, 9 & 10
Dear Mr. Berlin:
Final plats for Parts 8, 9 &10 of Bryn Mawr
Heights have been submitted and are awaiting approval by
the planning and zoning commission and the City Council.
The City staff tells me that these plats are to be
considered by the planning and zoning commission at its
meeting on the 17th of March, 1977 and by the City Council
on the 29th day of March, 1977.
I do not believe there will be any question or
controversy concerning the acceptance of these final plats.
With the building season fast approaching and a considerable
demand for lots it is important that my client have final
approval as quickly as possible. Accordingly please consider
varying your procedures to allow the final plats to be
considered by the City Council on the 22nd rather than the
27th of March,
Any consideration you can give this request
would be appreciated.

To the Mayor and members of the Council:
We are writing as residents of University Heights who are concerned
that the current problems between University Heights and Iowa City may
reach an impasse detrimental to both communities. Judging from our impression
of the recent University Heights town meeting, there is a general feeling
among the citizens of University Heights that this community is being served
with a hostile ultimatum, stating essentially "join us or else". Because of
this feeling, if negotiations over revised payments from University heights
to Iowa City should continue to fail, a likely result is that University
Heights will react in defiance, and "go it alone" with a volunteer fire
department, litigation concerning sewage treatment, and so forth. A community
spirit may thus be created in which citizens of University Heights will put
up with inferior services and perhaps even with higher costs to avoid being
swallowed up by the "enemy".
As we are deeply concerned with the quality of local services and also
believe in principle in a single municipal government for each contiguous
urban area, we hope that things will not come to this pass. However, to
avoid such an unfortunate struggle, Iowa City must offer the.eitizens of
University Heights a positive inducement for joining with Iowa City. The
major concern of the residents of University Heights is in maintaining the
residential character of the neighborhood in its current state. What is
needed from Iowa City is a specific guarantee of maintenance of current
zoning plus a commitment to no street widenings,or conversions of present
dead-end streets to through streets. We do not know the technical form that
such guarantees could take, but they would have to be concrete commitments
made in such a way as to be not readily reversible by future Iowa City
councils, and they would have to be presented to the citizens of University
Heights in a genuinely conciliatory fashion.
We suspect that you will feel that commitments of the type that we suggest
are unnecessary. However, by not making them the Iowa City Council runs a
serious risk of generating within University Heights a local revival of the
frontier spirit. The consequences of this will be uncomfortable for all of us.
Respectfully yours,
Joseph Frankel

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Frankel:
April 27, 1977
At the meeting of March 15, 1977, the City Council received your letter
of March 9, 1977. While in fact the elected officials and some citizens
of University Heights may consider Iowa City's relationship with University
Heights to be an ultimatum, the City of Ionia City has attempted for several
years to negotiate with University Heights in good faith. Only after nego-
tiations failed and the City Council of University Heights reneged on an
agreement to provide joint information to residents of University Heights
did the City Council of Iowa City offer an invitation to the residents of
University Heights to officially become a part of Iowa City.
Unfortunately, the City Council of Iowa City cannot offer any absolute
guarantees. However, I do believe that the position of the City Council is
spelled out in the letter which was sent to all University Heights residents,
which is also enclosed with this letter.
We believe that you and other concerned citizens will prevail upon the
elected officials of University Heights to recognize that the only long-
term solution is political consolidation with Iowa City.
I would be pleased to discuss this matter with you at your convenience.

Dear Ms. Klein:
Thank you for your letter to the Iowa City City Council
of March S. We appreciate your sharing of your personal
experiences and beliefs on what has been a difficult issue
for the Council to resolve.
The ordinance, which now protects persons on the basis
of sexual orientation in the areas of employment, credit, and
public accommodations, will be given three considerations by
the Council on March 29, April 11, and April 1.8.
Sincerely,

FEB 1 1,:977 '
February 13, 1977
From: The Iowa City Friends Meeting
CITY CU.:kX
311 North Linn, Iowa City, Iowa
To: Members of the City Council Of Iowa City
The revised Chapter 10.2 of the City Ordinance, proposed by
the Iowa City Human Rights Commission, speaks well to the issue of
protecting citizens of Iowa City against discrimination.
Quakers, like many other religious groups, have a long tradi—
tion of working to alleviate pain, problems, and lack of opportunity
which affect disadvantaged groups in society. The handbook for Iowa
Yearly Meeting of Friends (Conservative) advises members to realize
that.we are called'to think of everyone as an individual and to
deal with each as a child of God, for all racial and religious
groups are composed of varied and precious individuals.
We realize that there is a tendency to pick out a single
characteristic of a person and to form opinions about that person
based on the characteristic the person has in common with a group.
' This means a person is prejudged on the basis of a stereotype. For
example, it is unfair to assume that a person is incompetent and
can't perform a job because she is black; or that an elderly person
is a feeble person; or that a person will not take care of an apart—
ment because he is single. Justice and equal opportunity are fostered
by actions taken on the basis of individual information and charac—
teristics relevant to the situation. IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE APPEAL
AND REDRESS OF GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN
PREJUDGED SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE A PART OF A GROUP.
In addition, we recognize that an individual may be functioning
freely and enjoying a wide range of choices in Iowa City without
being subjected to discriminatory practices. But individual
situations change. For example, until we grow old we don't
realize how much our institutions and attitudes dictate what we
"•, can and cannot do. Going through a divorce is difficult enough
SS

without being refused an apartment because of new "single" status,
or having to cope with new credit arrangements even if there has
been no change in income. Recognizing that one is a homosexual or
has family members who are gay is hard enough without losing a
job, needing to find a new home, or being refused accommodations
and services previously available. No one is immune to disabilities
created by accident or disease, yet prejudicial policies make life
even more trying for disabled persons. One's creed and religion
can also change in a lifetime. WHEN WE EXTEND CIVIL RIGHTS PROTEC—
TION TO INCLUDE DISABILITY, MARITAL STATUS, HOMOSEXUALITY, AND AGE
l9E ARE INCLUDING GROUPS OF WHICH OUR FAMILY MEMBERS, AND EACH OF US,
MAY BE A PART.
The proposed civil rights ordinance is properly addressed to
prevention of discriminatory ACTIONS. Although social attitudes
cannot be changed by law and decree alone, it is necessary to
protect individuals and individual opportunities from blatant,
capricious, or arbitrary actions based upon prejudice and group
stereotypes. While individual attitudes about groups of people
are that individual's concern, discriminatory actions which harm
others must be halted. The proposed ordinance does not legislate
morals --for example, it neither condemns nor approves of disability,
growing old, or homosexuality --BUT IT WILL HELP PREVENT DISCRIMINA—
TORY ACTIONS.
We commend the Human Rights Commission for the proposed new
Chapter 10.2 which addresses the issue of civil rights in the four
areas of employment, housing, public accommodations, and credit
transactions for people who have been classified in groups based
on race, creed, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability,
marital status, homosexuality, and age. One of the important
features of the proposed ordinance is its logical consistency in
all four areas of potential discriminatory actions, and its consist—
ency in application of the principles of equal opportunity to
individuals of all named groups. WE RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY
COUNCIL ADOPT THE ORDINANCE AS PROPOSED BY THE HUMAN RIGHTS
COMMISSION.
i
- 3 - •
Vocal support for adoption of the proposed ordinance may
not be substantial. This may occur for several reasons. Much of
the organized activity surrounding the black civil rights movement
has tapered off with progress on the federal and state levels.
The fairly mellow ethnic and religious calm in the community is
not likely to result in statements of strong concern on these
points. The business and civic groups which the council may look
to for response on this issue are not generally composed of blacks,
disabled people, homosexuals and very elderly people; thus, a
strongly affirmative position would be unlikely. Similarly,
opposing the ordinance would be likely to offend people unnecessarily.
Individuals in classifications protected by the old ordinance may
hesitate to rock the boat and risk losing the civil rights they
already have. In forthcoming discussion of the ordinance, we ask
that the city council listen to the silences as well as to vocal
positions. For example, do single people and non—student homosexuals
remain silent because they fear discriminatory actions should they
speak out? THE NEED FOR EXTENSION OF CIVIL RIGHTS PROTECTION -TO
THE NAMED GROUPS MAY BE INDICATED BY SILENCES AS WELL AS BY
TESTIMONY ABOUT SPECIFIC INCIDENCES OF DISCRIMINATION.
On Behalf of the Meeting

informal session on March 21, Council members indicated they
would proceed by approving the ordinance substantially as
proposed with the exception of the housing area where marital
status and sexual orientation were deleted as protected categories
'Phe Council will have three considerations of the pro-

AREA CODE 318
337.9606
At your last meeting you asked me to check into the civil service
status of the deputy chief of police position. A question was also raised
concerning the role of the Commission with respect to promotions.
The minutes of the Civil Service Commission for the meeting of
February 15, 1977, state "the Commission understands that the position
of Deputy Chief is not a Civil Service position. " I do not believe that the
Commission's understanding on this matter is supported by the Iowa civil
service statute. On November 9, 1976, Mr. Kushnir, Assistant City
Attorney, in a memorandum to Candy Morgan, Human Relations Director,
discussed the status of the deputy chief of police position under the civil
service statute. A copy of that memorandum is attached for your
reference. Mr. Kushnir concluded that the position of assistant chief of
police is subject to the provisions of Chapter 400 of the Code of Iowa, the
civil service statute. I believe that whether the position is called
assistant chief of police or deputy chief of police the position is subject
to the civil service statute. The fact that the position of deputy chief was
contained in the budget documentation for fiscal year 1977 does not change
this situation, in my opinion.
Under Chapter 400 of the 1975 Code of Iowa as amended the Civil
Service Commission has the responsibility of conducting examinations to
determine which persons are eligible for promotion to a higher grade
under civil service. The statute provides that the Commission certify
the eligible lists to the City Council. The statute further provides that
where there is no preferred list or certified eligible list or when the
eligible list is exhausted the appointing authority may temporarily fill a
newly created office or other vacancy until another examination can be
held and the names of qualified persons certified. The statute also pro-
vides in Section 400. 9(3), as amended, that if a current employee does
95-460
0 0
The Honorable Mayor and
City Council of Iowa City - 2 - March 15, 1977
not pass one of two successive promotional examinations and otherwise
qualify for the vacated position, an entrance examination for the vacated
position may be used to fill it. Nowhere in the statute do I find any
authority which would permit the City Council to override the decision of
the Commission to not certify persons examined as eligible for promotion.
I hope that this answers the questions that you had concerning the
Civil Service Commission. I will be happy to discuss this with you further
at your convenience. A copy of this letter is being sent to the Iowa City
Civil Service Commission for their information.
Respectfully submitted,

FROM: Tony Kushnir, Asst. City Attorney
RE: Assistant Fire Chief and Civil Service
FACTS
Presently there is no position entitled Assistant Police
Chief in the City of -Iowa City, Iowa. Consideration is being given
in establishing such a position.
ISSUES PRESENTEE)
Whether an assistant chief of police is exempt from the Civil
Service provisions, Chapter 400 of the Code of Iowa.
CONCLUSIONS
The assistant chief of police is subject to the provision of
Chapter 400 of the Code of Iowa.
DISCUSSION
Section 400.6 of the Coda of Iowa, 1975 sets forth the applica-
bility of the provisions of Chapter 400 to the various officers and
employees of state and local governments. In general itiappli.es the
provisions of Chapter 400 to all officers or employees except those
specifically listed.
The statute.on its face is clear and unambiguous, unless a job
title is listed as exempted from the provisions of the Chapter, it
shall be subject to civil service. If there was room for any statutory
construction it seems that the maxim "expressio unius est exclusio
atteri.us" would apply. Under this maxim, if a statute specifies one
exception to a general rule other exceptions or effects are excluded.
This maxim was adopted by the Iowa Supreme Court in North Iowa Steel
Co. v. Staley, 112 N.11.2d 364 (1961) in dealing with the statutory
construction of statutes. This principle was illustrated in the case
of Dennis V. Bennett et al., 140 N.W.2d 123 (1966) wherein the Io'ia
Supreme Court held that the position of fire chief .is subject to the
provisions of Chapter 400 as it is not listed as an exemption,
Chapter 400,6 does exempt assistant police chiefs but only in
deparMmts numbering more than 250 members. By this reference it
does not exempt assistant police chiefsfrom the provisions of Chapter
�.c
14
400 where departments are smaller. Consequently 1is my opinion that if
it is subject to Civil Service rights and
such a position is established,
obligations.
It is also worth noting that C.haoter 400 has language as to how to
interpret the provisions therein. Chapter 400.30 states that the provisions
of the Chapter are to be strictly carried out by each person or body having.
polars or duties thereunder. This language seems to state that the provisions
are to be interpreted strictly and narroaly and not permit broad interpreta-
tions or variations of the Chapter. Such variations may be interpreted as
being inconsistent with the provisions of Chapter 400 and thus invalid.
If you have any questions concerning this topic please don't hesitate
to contact me.

Dear Mr. Berlin:
The Johnson County Regional Planning Commission is sponsoring
a meeting between state legislators who represent Johnson
County and interested local officials in the County. The
meeting is scheduled for Saturday morning, March 26th in the
auditorium of the Iowa City Public Library. The time is set
for 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Based on discussions with local
officials in our area, we have informed the legislators that
the following topics are of particular interest:
-land use planning
-local option tax
-road use tax
-mass transit funding
-bottle bill
-the use of alcohol taxes for alcoholism
-county and municipal assistance
-collective bargaining
-changing the state formula for county health assistance
-risk pooling
It appears that at least two members from both statehouses will
be able to attend the meeting.
I hope you or other representatives of your community will be
able to attend the meeting. Please let me know if you have
any questions on this matter.
