The purpose of this conference was to review all present ordinances and code sections in an attempt to conpile an updated com- prehensive code. As a result of the conference, we have encountered many provisions of the present code and existing ordinances which we feel should be reviewed by the City Council to determine whether they should remain, be amended or repealed. The following is a list of such provisions along with our recom endation: I. The proposed code of ordinances will be restructured and renumbered as illustrated in the tentative table of contents attached to this neimrandum. Consequently, many sections and chapters in the present code will be restructured. All references to individuals will be in the he/she designation. We have attempted to organize and combine sections which deal with the same subject matter and have edited other provisions bearing in mind the legislative intent of the ordinances. Certain sections were deleted because it was felt they were either obsolete, in conflict with state law, vague or of questionable consti- tutionality. II. City Code. Title 2. Citv Administration. Chapters 2.02 through 2.10. These chapters were revised and edited to reflect the City Charter. Chapter 2.12, Police Judge, was deleted as its position no longer exists. Chapter 2.14, City Physician, was deleted as this position is no longer in existence. Chapters 2.16 tluvLr4h 2.61 wise reorganized to reflect current practice. Except that Mapter 2.24, Departmnt of Public Health, was deleted. F5# 773W WLMA Title 3. Public Services. Chapters 3.06 through 3.18 were edited and restructured without any substantive change to the contents thereof. Chapter 3.22, dealing with the airport and the Airport Comnission, was amended to reflect current state law, Certain sections were deleted in said chapter dealing with technical flight requirements as it was felt these were covered by F.A.A. rules. Changes which we have recommended have been sent to the Airpot Cc nission for their review and content. Chapter 3.26, dealing with cemeteries, will contain our new ordinance. Chapter 3.30, dealing with City nurket and public scales, is deleted. Chapter 3.33 through 3.38 which deal with parks and recreation and forestry, were edited and restructured with- out substantive change. Chapter 3,42 will now contain the new solid waste ordi- nance. Title 4. Health and Sanitation. With regard to Title 4 of the present code, Health and Sanitation, it will be seen that must of the areas fonrerly regulated by the City are now ccnprehensively regulated by the state. Therefore, we reccrramnd that most of the Health and Sanitation regulations of the City be deleted. Chapters 4.02, dealing with milk regulation, is deleted. Chapter 4.06, dealing with disease and sanitation, is deleted. Chapter 4,08, dealing with venereal disease, is deleted. Chapter 4.10, dealing with meat control, is deleted. Chapter 4.12, dealing with restaurants, is recd mended to remain upon request by the Johnson County Board of Health. Chapter 4.14, dealing with water supply, is retained but edited to reflect the intent of the chapter. Chapter 4.16, Private Sewage Disposal Services, was toodified in that sections 4.16.4; 4.16.5, dealing with i ndust:ri ril wastra; 4.16.9, deal i.ng wi t h the contents in drains axrnect.txl; and 4.1b.1U, c"Iiry witt, stagruutt waters, • -3 • remain but the rest of the provisions in said chapter be deleted. The sections which remain will be incor- porated in other sections. Chapter 4.18, dealing with nuisances affecting health, was deleted as the provisions are contzined in other sections. Chapter 4.20 was modified as follows: Sections 4.20.1 requiring permits for cattle, horses, goats, swine, rabbits and domestic fails would be deleted as this section has not been used in the recent past and is not presently being used. Control of these animals may be acco plished through limiting them by way of the zoning code. Section 4.20.2 is anitted. Section 4.20.3 is modified to state that all such reports of diseases to given to the County Health Officer. Section 4.20.4 was revised in that the term knowingly or neglegently permie were stricken and a strict liability would then control to any animals listed running at large. 4.20.5, relating to hog pens, was kept. 4.20.6, relating to abuse of animals, was kept. 4.20.7, relating to poisoned meat, was kept. Sections 4.20.8 through 4.20.10 were deleted. It was felt an additional section was to be required granting authority to the Shelter Master to impound any animals running at large and to keep said animals at a place the Shelter Master deems appropriate. Chapter 4.21 was edited and restructured to reflect the intent of the chapter with substantive changes stating that there would be a strict liability for dogs at large-, � ,1 and that licenses would be required for animals kept under constant restraint on owner's property. However, kennels or eateries are exenpted. Chapter 4.24, Smoke Regulation, was deleted as com- prehensive state regulations exist in this area. Chapter 4.26, Removal of Ice and Snow, was kept. Title 5. Business and Occupations. Chapter 5.02, Licenses. Several substantive changes were suggested here. we recomyend that licenses he issued not by the Mayor, but by the City Manager, or som person designated by him or her. It was further recomnended that there be a lwaring lx -fere Uie Council on t1x refusal of the Manager to grant any license, or for the suspension or revocation of any license, if requested by the person affected. ?t •wae fu'^'; -her suggested '2.'-!t r.11 '_i--eruee expire one year from the date of issue, unless sore other time period is specified in the ordinances, Lastly, it was suggested that the Mayor's fee he delc-ted in this section and everywhere it appears in the Cody-. • -4 0 Chapter 5.04. :It is recommended that the section dealing with auctioneers be deleted as there is substantial state regulation in this area. Chapter 5.06, Junk Dealers, Junk Pickers and Pawn- brokers. The chapter was kept basically intact with regard to junk dealers and pawnbrokers, but all references and regulation of junk pickers were deleted, since state regula- tions prohibit scavenging at the City landfill. Chapter 5.08, Circuses, etc. lie recommend that the section be kept but substantially revised. We recamnnd . that all circuses, etc., be required to obtain a permit but would recom end doing away with having the permit being based upon the entrance charge. Nle also recomTend that circuses obtain a bond. The Council may also wish to oon- sider limiting circuses, etc., to non-residential areas. The legal department will present the Council with a proposed re-draft of Chapter 5.08 in approximately two weeks Chapter 5.10, Places of Skill and Amusement. We recoanend repeal of this chapter. Chapter 5.12, Fortune Tellers, et al. We reconnend adding astrologers to the list of persons needing a license. and establishing the license fee at $3.00 per day. Chapter 5.14, Bill Posters. We recommend repealing the present Chapter 5.14 and substituting sane sample material as found in the Dubuque, Iowa, code of ordinances. This material relating to bill posters is attached to this mamrandum as Exhibit B. Generally, we would recomTend adopting most of the Dubuque ordinance, with the exception of section 3.16, as that section is more adequately covered under the sign ordinance. Chapter 5.16, Taxicabs. we recannand repeal of this section with the substitution of the new taxicab ordinance proposal. Chapter 5.18, Letting of. Boats. We recomyend keeping this chapter. This section will probably lx� edited and placed in a different part of the cute, lawgiver. Chapter 5.20, (louse hovers. We are rerommnding that this section be kept as is with slight editing. Chapter 5.22, Going Out of Business Sales, etc. Nk reeammsd that this chapter be kept with slight editorial c*ranges. Chapter 5.24, Deer and Alcoholic Liquor, we recommend that this chapterstayas is. Chapter 5.28, Dance Balls, lie rooDmrend that this chapter be repealed. Chapter 5.32, Peddlers, Solicitors and Transient Merchants. Ordinance No. 74-2719 has now supplanted what is presently printed as Chapter 5.32. We would recomend that certain changes to Ordinance 2719 be made. Probably the most important of these recamended changes would be broadening the exemptions to include authorized representatives of reli- gious or other non-profit organizations who solicit voluntary contributions for their respective organizations. This would allow an exertion for all non-profit organizations, whereas the present exemption is limited to religious and charitable organizations. Another substantive change that we have mode is to include within the definition of a transient merchant, a person who occupies a piece of property for the sale of goods. Formerly, this section covered only persons occupying buildings or structures. Lastly, we have attempted to remove any suggestion from the ordinance that persons are authorized to do business upon the public streets, Basically, we feel that the issue of whether a person may enter into a conner- cial business upon the public street, is a separate matter from the issue of whether a person needs a peddlers and solicitor's license. The question of cc mrrcial uses is proposed to be handled in our recamendations for Chapter 7.18 dealing with the use of streets and public grounds. Title 6. Traffic and Parking. All these regulations will be comprehensively changed by the proposed model Traffic Ordinance which is presently under consideration by the Council. Title 7. Public Order and Personal Conduct. Chapter 7.02 was modified to reflect the following: Section 7.02.1 should be omitted with the attached proposal to be substituted in lieu thereof. Many sections of the present ordinance have been ruled invalid as ]ming uncon- stitutionally vague and overbroad. Section 7.02.2, disorderly house, which pertains to loud or boisterous conduct, was amended so as to conform more to the intent of the ordinance. Section 7.02.3, disorderly conduct - pandering, was omitted with a new provision stating "it shall be unlawful for any person to accost any other person with uninvited sexual p.'axisals or ..ttcritio; s" :r.:ieu thereof. rx-uLior: 7.02.4, disorderly conduct - lounging and loafing, remains as is. Section 7.02.5, indecent behavior, as amended by the new provisions on indcrent exposure as recent-ly p9sscd by the Council, will main. • -6- 0 Chapter 7.04, pertaining to curfews for minors. It is the Legal Department's recommndation that should the City Council decide to keep this regulation that the tine periods be modified to 10:30 P.M. on all nights throughout the year as this would be in accordance with Junior High activities. Chapter 7.05, pertaining to state of emergency curfew, it is our reconmendation that the ordinance be kept with the modification that it apply to all persons and that any references to minors and guardians be stricken. Chapter 7.06, nuisances, should be modified to incor- porate by reference the nuisances listed in Chapter 657.1 and .2 in the Code of Iowa. This would mean deleting sections A. through J. because they would be in the State Code list. We recommend keeping provisions K. through U. with the exception of T. T. states 'any nuisance described in the laws of the State of Iowa', which we have already included. We recommend including in this section the procedure for abatement which is set out in section 364.12, Iowa Code. Section 7.06.2 through 7.06.5 will be deleted and replaced with the proposed Iowa City Administrative Code, a copy of which will be sent to you in the near future. We reeomerd adding as a nuisance, also, the storage of obsolete or abandoned motor vehicles not licensed for the current year which are located upon private property. This provision would not be applicable to licensed salvage yards. The remaining provisions would be reorganized into other chapters. Chapter 7.10, Gambling. This section is to be deleted as there are comprehensive state regulations pertaining to this activity. Chapter 7.12, Public Morals and Decency. Section 7.12.1, lewdness, is deleted as the activities would be covered in our indecent exposure provisions. Section 7.12.2, fornication - harboring prostitutes. It is recommend that this section be deleted as the whole area of prostitution is regulated by aonprehensive state statutes. Section 7.12.3, intoxication. We reaamerd the following changes to subsection A. of said section: that beer be included with intoxicating liquor. With respect to subsection B., that it be limited to just possession and any reference to drink be stricken as it is covered in above subsection A. Subsection C. ani D. have been repealed. Section 7.12.4, night walking, should be deleted as it is unconstitutional. Section 7.12.5, vagrancy - begging. This cp.F.inn was :'L'Y�i Fiyi Fn �nF�mf tlya 4n4y,nt r)F 4t�r n Ii Zanly. Section 7.12.6, resorts. This section pertained to keeping bawdy houses and howsps of 111 famm, hh remnr*r•nd cmitt:inq this section as the area is regulated by state provisions. With respect to the area of prostitution and lemalnoss, we feel that ibis arra norm,• u state o-mec•rr. as the state does have the resources for the enforaamnt and prosecution of these sections. Accordlnr)ly, over mwuld recommend deletion as r 0 municipal ordinances. Section 7.12..7, sale or distribu- tion of contraceptives. We reccamend deletion. Chapter 7.14, Offenses in General.

Mr. Vaught recamnnded, in lieu of this section, the regula- tions propounded by the City of Dubuque and attached to this rmlmrandum as Exhibit D. We feel that the attached ordinance is a comprehensive one which may be of general use in this section and other provisions of this Code. Section 7.14.5, trespass in cemetery. This provision is included in the Cemetery Ordinance asm edified. Section 7.14.6, disturbance of the peace. This section we reromnend deleted as it is covered by other provisions. Section 7.14.7, keeping a disorderly house pertaining to loud or disagreeable noises emanating frau the same. We reaxmend deletion as the provision is basically contained in our new disorderly conduct ordinance. Section 7.14.8, unlawful assembly. We recommend retaining this section. Section 7.14.9, disturbance of the library. we recommend deletion of this ordinance as the area is covered by our new disorderly conduct ordinance. Section 7.14.10, impersonating an officer. This section would remain as it is except for certain modifications to clarify the intent. Section 7.14.11, assisting officers.

Section 7.18.2, relating to rrrmits, is amnn(IM fin that it shall tr required that any person obtain a permit for any parade, enter- tairment, rally, demonstration, or any use which in any way limits the use of the stra is by others. Section 7.18.4 is unlif ed to state that 'no penai.t shall }x allowed for the use of any portion of any street, sidewalk or roadway for catmer- cial purposes.

With respect to such activities as "sidewalk days" it is our reeormmendation to accorpli.sh that the streets wherein the activities to be occurring be temporarily closed. This can be accomplished under state law by resolution by the Council. The remainder of said chapter shall remain as is up to section 7.18.12, Section 7.18.12 pertains to coasting and it is our reco mmcn- dation that this section be modified that coasting be prohibited on any sidewalk in a commercial district.

It is also the Legal Department's recommendation that section 9.50.6.F. be deleted as the Board of Adjustment is not the proper body before wham such appeals are taken, and that we do not feel it a proper exercise of municipal power to be able to grant variances to municipal ordinances other than zoning provisions. Chapter 9.62, Water, Gas and Sewer Connections Required. The provisions in this chapter have been modified for editorial purposes and further, section 9.62.2 has h;een modified to st:at1- that "such rrnvv�rtions shall he mark- as fnllrusm one for each plattea lot in a residential disu-ictj one for each separate building in a non-residential district.

Chapter 10.21, Social Concerns Comui.ttee, is deleted. The committee is and has been inactive for sane period of time. Zoning Provisions. The zoning oode will be included in the Municipal Code as an appendix as we understand it is presently undergoing study and there is a proposal to revise the zoning code in total in the near future.

Mayor RECEIVED & APPRO`,BD 8Y TUE LEGAL DEPARTMENT u' G U ROUGH DRAFT INTRODUCTION Dr Ise h�o��a ph `� �sCws3 The purpose of this prospectus is to present the City of Iowa City's plan for IH development its downtown Urban Renewal project - a strategic downtown action program to further strengthen central Iowa City as a retail trade center for Iowa City and the surrounding area. This plan, developed by the City in conjunction with its development advisers, Zuchelli, Hunter and Associates of Annapolis, Maryland, is a workable concept representing a unique development opportunity. The Project encompasses nearly 60 acres in central Iowa City. Within this 14 square block project area, the City is now marketing nearly 12 acres of prime land. The sites are located in, and directly adjacent to the downtown core, just to the east of the campus of the University of Iowa. The City has been undertaking Urban Renewal project, Iowa R-14, since 1970. In order to expedite the closeout of project Iowa R-14 with the U.S. Department of (lousing and Urban Development, the City has, or will transfer control of all project land from the Urban Renewal agency to the City of Iowa City. This solicitation of offers to purchase and redevelop is being made directly by the City of Iowa City, Iowa. At one time the location of blighted commercial and residential buildings, the project sites have been acquired and cleared, with one exception, an historic commercial structure, the College Block Building which is to be sold for rehabilitation. The redevelopment sites are ready for development, and in keeping with the adopted land disposition policy of the City and the state laws of Iowa, the consideration of offers to purchase will be competitive, designed to select the developers who are best suited to develop the project sites in accordance with the City's objectives. The selections will be made by the City Council in consultation with the City staff uud its redevelupmer.: advisoru, on the bubiL of div p-ropoeals submitted by interested parties. The process for submitting competitive proposals is designed to permit Ml r 0 -z- any interested party to participate without incurring undue expenditures prior to successful designation as a developer. No elaborate or expensive models and brochures will be accepted as part of the proposal and no preliminary architectural plans should be prepared before final selections are made. Proposals, as called for in Chapter 6 of this prospectus, will be accepted from interested parties until 5:00 p.m. on 1977. Because the City is very desirous of maintaining the economic vitality of the downtown, enhancing the -tax base, and achieving a high quality of architectural, site, and landscape design, a decision was made to place primary emphasis on these elements of the competition, and to give secondary consideration to the price offered for the land, above the minimum parcel prices which have been set by the City. The City recognizes that the final land disposition prices may not equal the prices obtainable through utilizing traditional land disposition procedures. However, this process has been chosen to enhance development quality, a factor which will have major long term effect on the atmosphere and economic vitality on downtown Iowa City. Timetable for Redevelopment The timetable governing the selection of redevelopers and subsequent activities is set forth below: Cut-off dates for accepting proposals - 5:00 p.m. (CDT), 1977 Announcement of •designated •divelopers - 2:00 p.a.. (CDT)„ _, 1977 Completion of land disposition agreements: Beginning, of privately sponsored construction: as soon as practicable, con- sistent with negotiations, and as to be set forth in the Land Disposition Agreements. • CHAPTER/2— THE- HAPTER/2 THE PROJECT Goals and Objectives The City of Iowa City has had two principal goals with its Urban Renewal project, Iowa R-14: (1) To clear all buildings which contributed to blighted conditions and which hindered private development, as defined in the Urban Renewal Plan; and (2) To promote redevelopment which will not only help support the downtown core, but which will serve in itself as an important contributor to downtown economic vitality. With clearance substantially complete, the first objective has been attained and the opportunity for fulfilling the second is at hand. We believe that this opportunity is an exciting one, for developers as well as for the City, and view it as encompassing the following more specific objectives. Project Objectives 1. To strengthen central Iowa City as a retail trade, business, financial, administrative, governmental.. educational, and cultural center of the area. 2. To strengthen the economic well being of the central area and the City by , increasing retail activity, taxable values, and job opportunities, Z. To establish a pattern of land use activities arranged in compact, compatible groupings so as to enhance their efficiency of operation and economic inter- relationships. 4. To provide for the orderly physical and economic growth of the central area through controlled rodevolopment and rehabilitation. 5. To provide safe, efficient, and attractive public and private vehicular access to central Iowa City. 6. To provide a safe, efficient, and attractive circulation system which minimizes conflicts between different forms of traffic such as pedestrian, bicycles, automobiles, transit and service vehicles. 7. To encourage coordinated development of parcels and structures in order to achieve efficient building design, multi-purpose use of sites, unified off-street parking, trucking and service, and internal pedestrian linkages.

The project contains nearly 12 acres of developable land, to be sold. As part of its effort to insure that redevelopment proceeds smoothly and rapidly, and to expedite the closeout of the project with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the City is in the process of purchasing all of the parcels from the Urban Renewal Agency. Although certain federal regulations will still apply, the marketing of the land directly by the municipality will result in one less level W:11 reSdif of government directly involved and/in a simplified disposition p roce.It is the obligation of the City to prepare all cleared properties for delivery to developers in a "construct ion -prepared" state_ Clearing includes removing all parts of buildings and structures to approximate grade of adjacent streets and buildings. Basement floors have been broken to provide drainage and basements have been back filled and utility lines abandoned or relocated. All developable parcels will be available for delivery in the proper condition to initiate on -sit e'construction preparations, in accordance with the Iowa City Urban Renewal Plan and the terms of the disposition agreement between the City and the redeveloper. Site Improvements The City, has been, and remains committed to upgrading public improvements within the project area to a level supportive of sound private redevelopment. The City +.s undertaking an energetic public improvement program within the project area. -a - Streets Street improvements are designed to provide safe, efficient, and attractive circulation, which minimizes conflicts between pedestrian, bicycle, automobile, transit and service vehicular traffic. The City has completed a four block semi -mall on Washington Street, two blocks of which are within the project area. The City is currently in the design phase for a pedestrian mall on College and Dubuque Streets. The firms, Sasaki and Associates of Watertown, Massachusetts, and Associated Engineers of Mason City, Iowa, have been retained to design this project. The City Council has budgeted, and is in the process of issuing $1.8 million of general obligation bonds for the College and Dubuque Street improvements. College Street will become a pedestrian mall, closed to vehicular traffic, which will provide a pedestrian linkage connecting the University of Iowa and the Central Business District core. A public plaza, which will serve as an identifiable civic symbol and focal point, will be constructed at the intersection of College and Dubuque Streets. Dubuque Street will be closed to private autoinobile traffic and become a "transit" mall. The City expects to advertise and award construction contracts in mid -1977 with construction to begin in the fall of 1977. The City Council has budgeted an additional $500,000 for street improvements, plantings, and street furniture for Capitol Street, Washington Street, and other areas. All street construction will meet nationally recognized standards for each anticipated traffic load. Sidewalks will be replaced, as needed, and plantings and street furniture will be designed to facilitate pedestrian movements. Parking In order to provide the parking necessary to support downtown development and to provide a pleasant pedestrian environment, the City has committed itself to build two parking ramps. These structures will provide replacement parking for parking spaces which will have been removed and additional space which will be needed as new development occurs. The first ramp will be designed and constructed in conjunction with an integrated retail development to be located on Parcels 83 and 84. This structure will be designed to accommodate nearly 900 cars. The second structure will be constructed at a later date on Block 64, construction to occur concurrently 1 with that of a motel/hotel which is sought for that site. This structure will accommodate approximately 450 cars. The parking structures will be financed with t revenue bonds; thus special assessments against downtown property will not be used. Water System IThe water distribution mains are sufficient to meet all foreseeable development and are in good condition except on Capitol Street where a 12-inc� main will be installed. Sanitary Sewers The sanitary sewer system will be upgraded as necessary and will be completely replaced on College Street between Clinton and Linn Streets and on Dubuque Street between lVashington and Burlington Strf erts- Storm Drainage The existing storm water drainage system has the capacity to adequately serve the project area. Inlets, and catch basins, will be modified as necessary in conjunction with the construction of the improvements to be constructed on College and Dubuque Streets. Other modifications to the storm water drainage system will be undertaken, as necessary, in conjunction with the private development which takes place on disposition parcels.

This listing represents a summary of restrictions to be incorporated into the land disposition agreements between successfully designated redevelopers and the City. This summary is included in this prospectus solely for the convenience of prospective developers interested in submitting proposals, and should not be construed as representing all of the provisions likely to be incor- porated in the formal disposition agreement. All redevelopment will be expected to conform to the provisions of the Urban Renewal Plan, and all applicable laws and ordinances. The Urban Renewal Plan sets forth provisions, designed to insure that the project area is redeveloped in accordance with the objectives set forth in the Urban Renewal Plan. The provisions of the Urban Renewal Plan will be specifically incorporated into all land disposition agreements and the deeds by which land is conveyed. These specifications shall apply above and beyond the City codes and ordinances, but shall not alter,/ in any way, the developers' obligation to fully conform to such codes and ordinances. The Urban Renewal Project contains three development areas; the Central Business District Core, the Central Business Service Area, and the University Development Area. However, all of the parcels for which offers are currently being solicited are within the Central Business District Core and the Central Business Service Area. The Central Business District Core is the high density, compact, pedestrian - oriented shopping, office and entertainment area in the heart of Iowa City. It is located immediately adjacent to the campus of the University of Iowa. This area is the core of the Central Business District and allowable uses Include u wide v:n•iety of typical, downtown, central business district uses. Residential development, within 0 0 -z- the central business district core, is allowed and encouraged above the ground floor. The specific uses permitted in the central business district core are set forth in the Urban Renewal Plan, and the zoning ordinance. The uses solicited, and the minimum and maximum acceptable levels of development are listed for each parcel in Chapter 4, The Land Disposition Program. Central Business Service Area The central business service area is intended to allow space for the orderly expansion of the central business district, and to provide space for supporting retail service and auto -oriented uses not appropriate for a pedestrian -oriented central business district area. All uses permitted in the central business district core are allowed in the central business service area. In addition, auto -oriented uses are permitted and multi -family residential use is permitted at the ground floor level and above. The permitted uses are specifically set forth in the Urban Renewal Plan and the zoning ordinance. The use for which proposals are being solicited, and the minimum and maximum acceptable levels of development are set forth in Chapter 4, The Land Disposition Program. • CHAPTER 4 THE LAND DISPOSITION PROGRAM Land Disposition 0 Iowa City, in conjunction with Zuchelli, Hunter and Associates, has put together a land disposition program, offering many excellent development opportunities. Downtown Iowa City is a busy, vital place. The blighting influences have been cleared and the City is, through this prospectus, soliciting offers to purchase and redevelop nearly 12 acres of prime downtown land. The disposition program is based on careful evaluation of the Iowa City area, its economy, and its existing downtown. This program seeks redevelopment at a responsible level supportable by the market; and at a level which can be fully provided municipal services and facilities. The City has carefully evaluated the street network, the public transit systems, the pedestrian orientation of the down- town area, and the existing land use pattern, to design a disposition program aimed at achieving the optimum level of redevelopment. Acceptable minimum and maximum levels of development, where applicable, are i shown on Table 4-1. The City will not accept any proposals which are less then the minimum or greater than the maximum development specified. The Parcels The City is soliciting offers to purchase and redevelop 12 parcels or groups of parcels, and proposals for the restoration and rehabilitation of one existing structure. The location and configuration of these parcels is shown on the Land Disposition Map, and are described below: 0 -2- Parcels 83-1 and 84-1 i The City is soliciting offers to purchase and develop these two square blocks, along with the vacated portion of College Street between them, as an integrated retail development. Located immediately south of the University of Iowa's Pentacrest, and its re- stored "Old Capitol," this 230, 400 square foot tract is an ideal site for a large scale integrated retail development. The City intends to construct a parking structure to accommodate 880 cars on a portion of this tract. Vehicular approaches to and from the parking structure must be oriented to Capitol Street. The pedestrian discharge points from the parking structure should be convenient both to the retail development on the tract, and to the existing retail development along Washington and College Streets. The City is seeking a development which includes a department store of from 50,000 to 65,000 gross square feet, and additionaZ, retail development. The total must be within the minimum and maximum levels set forth on Tables 4-1 and 4-2. Retail, office, or residential uses shall. be included in a second floor. The parking structure will be financed using revenue bonds, thus imposing no assessments on adjacent commercial property. Parcel. 81-1 The City is soliciting offers to purchase and develop this small parcel, fronting on Clinton Street. The parcel abuts on three sides to existing buildings. The development of this parcel is challenging because of physical constraints which are present. An engineering report, which details these restraints, is available for interested developers. Its development will leave the owner with an excellent location fronting on CZinton Street on one of the most heavily travelled pedestrian areas in Iowa City. The parcel may be developed for any compatible, retail or service use. Parcel 82 -Ib The City is soliciting offers to purchase and redevelop ParceZ 82-1b for retail use. This parcel is located at the intersection of College and Dubuque Streets, which are to be developed as a mall area as described in Chapter 2 of this prospectus. Directly across Dubuque Street is an area designated for the development of a motor hotel. PareeZ 65-2 The City is soliciting offers to purchase and develop Parcel. 0-2, for retail use. This parcel is located at the corner of Dubuque and Washington Streets, adjacent to the existing Washington Street semi-+naZZ and the mall to be cunstructea' u. Dubuque SLrest. 0 0 Block 64 The City is soliciting offers to puscbase and develop a portion of Block 64 as a motor hotel. A municipal parking structure designed to accommodate 440 vehicles will be constructed on this block. The precise location of the parking structure has not been established, and the City will consider, as part of a developer's proposal, suggestions for the exact location and configuration of this parking structure. Block 64 is currently being used as a 300 car surface parking lot. It is the desire of the City to receive proposals for the development of this parcel, and to execute a land disposition agreement calling for the conveyance of the property and construction on the property in September, 2979. This delayed "take-down" is intended to insure an adequate supply of downtown parking, until the completion of the parking structure to be constructed on BZock 63. The City intends to construct the parking ramp on Block 64 concurrently with the construction of the i motor hotel. The City will require a restaurant within this development, and encourage other speciality retail estabZishments commonly associated with hotel development. Access to and from the parking structure should utilise the southern most half block of Dubuque Street, adjacent to the parcel. The City is willing to negotiate with a developer, the use of the municipally owned parking structure by cite hotel patrons, and One rseth;od of payment thorcfor. 3 �s- Parcels 93-1 and 101-2 The City is soliciting offers to purchase and develop this 3.4 ceaA-- a e" C tract as a multi -family residential area. This tract is located immediately adjacent to the Central Business District and the campus of the University of Iowa. Because of its location, it is ideally suited for residential development oriented to the Central Business District or the University. fe. //S The topography of the site �es from east to west, allowing for a residential development of excellent design. Potential developers are specifically referred to Table 4-1 and 4-2 which set forth the acceptable minimum and maximum levels of development for this tract. Parcel 93-2 The City is soliciting proposals to purchase and develop Parcel 93-2 for any use allowed in the Urban Renewal Plan and the zoning ordinance. i This parcel, located on Madison Street, is 80�eet south of Burlington D-Iti Street, the primary east -west arteriaZ, -Vw—p rm-Z is 4 an excellent location for the development of an auto -oriented commercial use.

This parcel, located adjacent to Burlington Street, is suitable for inclusion in a development to the west or to the east, and the City will also consider proposals to develop this parcel as an individual site. .The City will, consider proposals which are offered, contingent upon the successful designation of the offer or as the developer of Parcel 93-2 and 101-2. The City intends to discourage any additional curb cuts on Burlington Street, and accordingly will view unfavorably any proposal which includes a Burlington Street curb out. Parcel 102-1 The City is soliciting offers to purchase and develop Parcel 102-1 for any commercial use permitted by the Urban Renewal Plan and the zoning ordinance. This parcel is located adjacent to a larger tract which is currently undeveloped. It may be possible to combine Parcel 102-1 with the privately owned surrounding tract into a larger developable parcel. However, potential developers are cautioned that the City makes no representation re¢arding the availability of other privately owned property. The possibility of acquiring privately owned property rests solely with the interr+stPd dmPv7ojwt-.

ParceZ 103-3 Parcel 82-la -- CoUege BZo(nok Building Navra • 4; ME Prices 11 The minimum acceptable price for each parcel is set forth in Table 4-3 below. The City will not accept or consider any offer to purchase and redevelop any parcel for which the price offered is not equal to or greater than the minimum prices . established. As set forth in Chapter 5, Procedures, the City is including in the evaluation criteria for proposal, the price offered. However, because the goals of the project are to accomplish well designed, high quality, development, the consider— ation of prices offered is secondary. The City fully reserves the right to consider price, as one of several variables to be considered, and to select the the proposal which, in the judgment of the City, best serves the public interest, irrespective of whether or not the price offered in the winning proposal is the highest price offered for any parcel.

Social Workers work in a team with psychiatrists, psychologists and nurses. A wide variety of professional methods are used, mainly individual therapy and to a lesser extent family therapy and group work. I am one of the two psychiatric social workers in the hospital. I deal mainly with families, referred when one member of the family presents for care. My work is based in the community and I usually see clients in their own home. I work therefore with families who have a wide variety of problems, the majority of these tends to be problems in communication between family members. The methods of help are varied as the situations and include practical help, individual therapy and family therapy. I carry about 30 active cases with at least another 20 on the books. I try to help families communicate better and so identify their problems more accurately and as a result the family's own ability to solve problems becomes recognised and activated.

Social Workers 11uly 2974 The agency for whom Ik, a Social sox -vices Departmit, is the branch of Leicestershire County oncil that provides all thelreonal social services for which Central Government has made local authorities responsible. This includes services for family casework, child care, adoption work, wort: with the blind, physically and mentally handi.cappod, muntul health aftorcarc•, juvenile court work, registering of play groups and childminders ,elderly,etc. There is a central management team responsible for overall work, allocation of resources and centralised specialist staff. The day to day work is done by the twelve area offices. I work in the Harborough,Area Office, which covers a large gee,graphical area. There are two teams of worker.,, two seniors and an Area Director. The basic social work method is casework, but in its widest definition, due to pressures of work, unqualified staff etc. We aim for short term intensive wori: to achieve aims established with clients to avoid overdependence and the "popping -in" syndrome. However, the nature and range of our responsib- ilities make this difficult to achieve. 'vie experiment with other methods of social worn and have established several groups, several ttorkers are very interested in using behavioural techniques. • B. MY WORK Ply role as senior social worker is a dual one, that of middle manager but with a caseload of my own. Iam primarily a team leader, responsible for the cork of 4 social workers, a trainee, a moclal work aesintant, a student and a social worker for the blind. This aspect involves me in a consultative role in the social work aspects of ongoing cases and in the development of casework and other social work techniques. a senior social worker's role in this agency tends to be a directipa link in so called collective responb- ibility. I see a very important part of my role as being one of providing general support to social workers who are so often under practical and emotional pressures. A senior is also part of the management team at area levdl, which includes working with the Area Director, chan.elling information to her from social workers and visa versa, being involved in the day-to-day running of the office. Because we work a "patch" system with each team working in a particular area, in our case, Lutterworth, I am very involved in establishing relationships and liaising with other agencies and the local community and with increasing team involvement in the area as a whole. I have a caseload of approximately 7 composed of long term, more difficult eases and short term intervention e.g. adoptions, foster home assessments. The long term cases are mainly family and child care; there are three adol- escent boys, one of whom is in a home for very disturbed adolescents, whose work is regression therapy orientated. S am als, involved in the placement of a baby in a long stay foster home and the ongoing work with that situation. I work with a young couple experiencing: difficult marital relationships agavated b their appalling housing conditions . finally I also work with ayoung woman who is suffering a severe grief reaction on the death of her fiance - a situation complicated by her previous life experiences and ver; poor sell' -image. Ideally, I -feel that short term, Planned ana intensive wori is �• appropriate method of social work intbrven ion, bu 1 vt' squire long term work, particularly the four children in care. The exception is the last case, where it has been possible to plan for short term but fairly intensive and etructured work, includ:inr working throu,,h the client's feelings re. both ner present and past satuut;-011" Overall my aim . if it doesn't sound too pompous - 1o, to help cl ients,como to terms w1 th themselves and their Burro undl"Cb . to move towards more positive oe'1f-determination , and to hel pttnem move towurtbon1awhttha better venue of their own worth, all this being y ep client wants these thin►a or not. - • t� 'rk ! :7 n'N'.I I. ill•. .I1:11INA-1111NAI.

On those occasions when an indirect route is selected by an employee/ official, expenses will be reimbursed on the basis of a direct route. All extra expenses due to indirect route will be borne by the employee/official. All transportation arrangements are to be made by the employee or that individual designated in the department to do so. All employees/ officials are expected to use the most economical form of trans- portation. MODES OF TRANSPORTATION Airfare Reimbursement will be on the basis of coach airfare only. It is the individual's responsibility to reserve their own airplane tickets through a local travel agency which will bill the City. When reserving a ticket, the standard requisition procedures must be followed. Notice of any cancellation of tickets should be given immediately to the Purchasing Division. Travel to and from airports shall be by bus, limousine, private or City vehicle. The taxi may be used only as a last resort. Special prior authorization for rental airplanes or chartered airplanes must be obtained from the City Manager. Ci�Vehicles (also refer to City Vehicle policy) City vehicles will be used for all in-state travel, unless unusual circumstances warrant the use of alternative types of transportation. Reimbursement will be made upon presentation of receipts for gas and oil used. Private Vehicles (also refer to City Vehicle policy) The use of private vehicles for official travel requires priur authorization of City Manager on Form T-1. Reimbursement will be made on the basis of fifteen cents (15C) per mile by the most direct route. If out-of-state travel is authorized via personal car, the mileage reimbursement shall not exceed the cost of coach airfare to the same destination. Likewise, meal and lodging reimbursements will be based on the travel time by air. All extra expenses incurred due to increased travel time will be borne by the employee/official. In addition, extra time away from work due to increased travel time will be deducted from accumulated leave. -4- 0 0 D.

As has been discussed a number of times we have tried to objectively evaluate a number of alternatives and consider those things that would provide the most appropiate solution to the problems at hand. I realize that there will be a diversity of opinions amongst not only the City Council but of the local citizenry concerning how best the problem at hand may be solved. However, our study is based upon our experience and the experience of outside con- sultants which we frequently call upon and exchange technical information with and our intent is to provide the most credible information for your use in evaluating the resolution of your present heating -air conditioning problems. As is stated in the report the data presented and the comparisons drawn can at best be considered only that; i.e. comparisons and the use of the data as absolutes for establishing exact operating and owning budgets must be tempered with known "real" conditions that the study (computer analysis) is not sensitive to. We do feel however that the results that we have presented to you are fairly realistic and as credible as we could possibly make them. We have appreciated the opportunity to serve you and apologize for the delay in getting the information correslated and back to you which has been due only to the tremendous work load that we have had over the last two to three months.

Very truly yours, MOORE-BINGHAM & ASSOCIATES Bruce D. Bingham, fP. E. mea IOWA C 10 CIVIC CENTER AIR CONDITIONINOTODY A study has been undertaken to investigate the problems with the existing heating -ventilating -air conditioning (HVAC) system in the Iowa City Civic Center. The building has been analyzed to determine the heat gain and heat loss for the structure and the required air conditioning to adequately serve the occupied spaces. A number of problems with the existing system have been identified and were previously reported in a letter report from Larry R. Moore on August 16, 1976. Briefly, the problems which have been identified are the existing absoption chillers have reached their end -of -life and now are becoming expensive to operate and maintain, as well as being rather inefficient. There is an apparent shortage of nominal refrigeration equipment to adequately air condition the spaces. Furthermore, there are numerous temperature control zones which have conflicting conditioning equipment since fin tube radiation is often heating while the air conditioning system is simultaneously cooling the area, resulting in expensive operation. There are also some zones that are not adequately heated or cooled at various times of the year. The system temperature controls are misapplied because of problems inherent in the basic system design. The results of the study are briefly summarized as follows. There indeed must be something done to correct the existing system as it now exists. The least cost approach to resolving the problem will be to make some extensive changes to the existing system to hopefully alleviate some of the functional problems and correspondingly provide fairly decent comfort conditions in the building. It is estimated that this effort would cost upwards to some $60,000.00. Of the four systems studied it appeared that the replacement of the existing system with a constant volume roof top single zone system would be the least first cost system, costing approximately $65,000.00. The system having the apparently lowest operating cost is system type 14, variable air volume roof top system, when the operating costs are evaluated through a 15 year period. The best investment system when considering initial cost, operating costs, and return on investment is system #4 when only these criteria are considered. The least energy consuming system is system $3, water to air heat pump with solar assist heating, followed by system N1, same as 03 with no solar assistance. When the more subjective and technical - non economical criteria are considered, system 81 appears to be the best all around system for the Civic Center. It is therefore the resultant recommendation that the best corrective effort for the appropriate heating and air conditioning of the Civic Center would be a water to air heat pump system. Solar assist heating can be added at a later date when equipment costs are less if such is desired. (1) There are a few items which must be kept in mind as the aforementioned conclusions are considered by the building owner and a final decision is made pertaining to which of the systems studied should be designed and prepared for installation in the building. These items include the requirement for an increased electrical service to be provided for the building no matter which system is installed, the existing system is extremely uneconomical to operate and provides unsatisfactory i condition and will continue to be an increasing problem in the building operation, and a variety of special interest influences will undoubtedly be submitted to those reviewing the report and there will be others who may submit their own new conclusions. The aforementioned symptons relate to a number of problems, none of which are clearly separable and solvable without affecting the overall HVAC system. It has been determined through our investi- gation that the existing variable air volume (VAV) boxes are bypass type wherein air is bypassed into the ceiling space whenever the room thermostat is not calling for cooling. Since the ceiling space is a return plenum with return grilles opening directly thereto the bypassed air can, without resistance, fall through return grilles into another space which may not be calling for cooling at a specific time. A second problem is that even though the automatic temperature controls on the main air handling systems are intended to provide 100% outside air ventilation capabilities whenever the outside air temperature is low enough to justify such, the outside air louver is grossly undersized (approximately 90% undersized) and will not permit adequate amounts of outside air to be drawn in to the system whenever there is a call for any quantity greater than minimum outside air. Correspond- ingly, there is no provision in the HVAC system for the ventilation air to be relieved, which results in the fans possibly operating unstably due to the increased positive pressure being developed in the building. A third and obvious problem is that the existing absorption chillers are now in a failing condition and the economics of maintaining them do not exist. Operating economies likewise do not exist at this time. Furthermore, the reliability of the absorption chillers has apparently become rather questionable. The study was extended to investigate solutions to the aforementioned problems, including the investigation of alternative HVAC systems which would address the problem of providing appropriate environ- mental control in the building, in addition to economies in operation and maintenance. A computer program was used to investigate the comparative economies and energy conuumptions of four ctan6idate (2) 0 0 systems for the building. In addition the present system operating costs and comparable economies of retaining the existing system was likewise investigated and compared with the four systems analyzed in the computer study. It should be pointed out that the results of the study are based upon analytical models utilizing the best current technology and information that could be gathered together and may not exactly duplicate real operating conditions but do provide very credible results for comparative purposes. The systems which were studied are as follows: R. ceiling and console type water to air heat pump units using natural gas fired boilers to provide makeup heat energy. N2 A single zone constant volume roof top system using natural gas for heat and electric air conditioning for cooling. N3 The same system as that listed in item H1 with the addition of supplemental solar heat to provide makeup heat energy. #4 A roof top variable air volume system using natural gas fired boilers for heat energy and an electrically driven air cooled water chiller to provide cooling. R5 The existing system, which is a problematic vAv system with natural gas fired boilers providing supplemental heat and natural gas absorption air conditioning and some additional electric air conditioning systems providing cooling. In addition to the economics and energy consumption criteria used in drawing conclusions in this study a number of more subjective but technical criteria were incorporated in the considerations of candidate systems. These items are as follows: A. The system should provide individualized room or zone temperature control. B. It is desirable to have the capability to condition individual rooms during off -hour cycles without having to operate the entire system to provide minimal occupation zone comfort_ C. The level of expertise or capability required to maintain and service this system is desired to be minimal to eliminate the need for a highly trained technician to be continuously avail- able to service the system. D. The system should have the ability to incorporate alternative energy supply sources to the highest degree possible. (3) 0 0 The computer analysis and related data correlation was performed to eliminate personal influences and preferences and to provide appro- priate substantiation for any conclusions that might be drawn con- cerning the correction of the existing heating and air conditioning system for the building. The study was completed in accordance with currently accepted procedures for such investigation throughout the engineering profession. Basic load calculations assuming typical environmental conditions for Iowa City based upon published weather data and accepted information concerning office building occupation of the type experienced in the Civic Center were completed. This information was then reviewed and prepared for analysis using the Singer Engineering Evaluation ("SEE") Program available through Singer Company of Auburn, New York for such studies. As previously mentioned, there were four systems selected for analysis and comparisons which systems were considered to be candidates for solving the problems existing in the building. In addition the resultant utility information for the existing building system was acquired, evaluated and correlated with the resulting data from the computer study to determine the results of "doing nothing but continue with the existing system". The results of the study have been tabulated and are presented in an attached tabulated summary of results including in the report. The following utility rates, interest rates, inflation and escalation rates were used in the study which data is based upon information received from the utility company and data suggested for use by the Internal Revenue Service and Department of Labor: Electricity unit rate is 3.50 per KwH Natural gas rate is $ .25 per therm Financing interest rate (that interest rate which may be reflected in municipal bonds, lending institutions applicable, etc.) is 7% Energy escalation rate - energy rate shall double in years one through five and increase at 5% per year thereafter. Labor escalation rate - 4% per year The study was extended over a 15 year period which period exceeds the equipment replacement period for typical roof top HVAC system equipment and is slightly less than the currently known replacement time period for water to air heat pump system equipment. The study assumes that the funding for completing any system modification or installation would be public funds acquired through capital expenditure h,idget or municipal bonds. The study also incorporated the assumption (4) 0 0 that there would be some insurance coverage provided for the system. As a point of reference the "rates" information used in this study agrees rather favorably with other studies completed by the author for the Corps of Engineers O. S. Air Force medical facilities, publicly owned medical facilities, and numerous similar building types investigated by both Trane Company through their TRACE program and the SEE program as completed by Mr. William S. Flemming who provides the computer analysis service for Singer Company. There is a list of definitions and nomenclature included which delineates the terminology that is incorporated in the tabulated summary of results of the study. The reader is referred to that listing of nomenclature to assist in reviewing the tabulated data. The results of the study provide rather intersting result as can be seen on the summary sheet. The least energy consuming system is system N3 @ 643,927 MBH/year, followed by system N1 @ 748,094 MBH/year. The existing system is the most consuming @ 3,009,573 BMH/ year. The best first cost system, wherein best is equated to lowest cost, is system N2 the single zone roof top system the installed cost for which is estimated to be $65,350.00. It is felt that this system is not a truly viable candidate since the entire building would have to be operated as a single temperature zone which would provide no individual or group room control whatsoever. The system with the best operating cost per year is the VAV system which would be a refinement of the existing system. The major draw- back with the VAV system is that it requires extensive duct work to be located in the building ceiling spaces. This is similar to the presently existing system. The existing limited ceiling spaces definitely influence the adequacy of air distribution throughout the building. This system, generally speaking, would have to be operated continuously to allow any individual room to receive comfort conditioning at any time during the day or night. The best system in terms of total expenditures, both for first cost, operating cost, maintenance cost, etc. is likewise system N4, VAV system. The total expenditure at the ned of the 15 year period for system $4 is $241,376.00 as noted on the data sheet. However, it is pointed out that this system does not lend itslef as well to the adaptation of alternative energy sources for heating purposes as does system $1. The system shall also be equipped with "economizer" cycles to provide the economics stated in the comparative data. The inclusion of such will require some building modifications. The present north compx'risons irncarporate system k3, the water to air heat pump system, as the basis for comparison. All numbers in that portion of the data sheet are referenced to system 01. It is pointed out that in thr comparative present worth data a negative number indicates M 0 9 that the base system; i.e. the water to air heat pump system is the better system. A positive number suggests that the system compared to the base system; i. e. systems #2, #3, #4 or #5 is the better system. System #5 or leaving the existing system as is with no modification at all provides the greatest amount of money saved over system #1 in first year costs at an estimated amount of $73,816.00. As has been previously stated this is not an acceptable solution and correspondingly even though system #2 provides a $15,999.00 advantage over system #1 the lack of room temperature control negates its attractiveness. The system at the end of a 15 year period which provides the greatest dollar saved compared to system 01 is likewise the existing system which assumes that that system must continue to operate at present "economies ". The system which provides the best minimum return on investment as compared to system 01 is system #4 which provides an approximately $1,200.00 return in the 12th year after the system is installed. Year twelve is also the year when major central equipment for this system may need replacement and as a point of interest system #1 has been a better economic investment up to year 12. System #3 appears to, at some longer period of time (greater than 30 years for which the data was tabulated) may have a break even point and return on investment but the time period to reach such as was indicated is greater than 30 years and correspondingly was not considered viable at the current utility rates. A change in utility rates and reduced cost of solar equipment would substantially alter this comparison, however. As a result of the economics comparisons and energy consumption data the Leaving of the existing system with no attention at all is the least first cost alternative. System #4 appears to have the least operating cost based upon the present and projected utility rates. The best all around system, based only upon economics, operating and comparative present worth comparisons is system #4 beyond a 12 year period. System #3 is the least energy consuming of those studies. The best system when initial cost, operating costs, maintenance costs, return on investments and flexibility of system operation plus adaptation of alternative energy sources for heating, whether immediately or at some future date, system 91 is the best solution. It is our recommendation that the owner strongly consider the installa- tion of a water to air heat pump system in the Civic Center. It should be pointed out that this same system can be rather easily extended to other areas of the total Civic Center, including the Police Station and Fire Station, while providing the same economics of operation and maintenance. Likewise, this system can very easily have added to it a water storage basin and solar collecter panels which would provide aukeup heat energy in lieu of the gas fired boilere which would initially be incorporated in the system. The VAV system which requires a central air cooled water chiller does not as readily lend itself to the incorporation of an alternative energy source. (t) For your information the water to air heat pump system consists of unitized fan coil units which are located either as console units in the occupied space or as horizontal units located in the ceiling space. All of the units have their own compressors and are interconnected in a common water loop which loop has water continuously circulating througg it the temperature of which varies anywhere between 600 F and go F. Each unit can operate individually and separately from the other units and the only central plant components which must operate continuously are the circulating pumps. In addition to the individual zone units and the circulating water loop there is a closed circuit evaporative cooling tower through which excess heat energy that cannot be used for heating purposes at some other point in the building by a corresponding heat pump is released from the system. When all units are providing heating and there is not sufficient excess heat energy in the closed water loop makeup energy is provided by some alternative energy source which for the Civic Center would initially be gas fired boilers which are now existing and in the future could be warm water heated by solar panels mounted on the roof of the building. The water as it passes through the closed loop provides heat energy to individual units providing heating to a given space or likewise provides a place for excess heat energy to be dissipated whenever units are providing cooling in an occupied space. Therefore, energy is transported from one portion of the building to another for use as required in individual zones. This operation provides a great deal of diversity in system operation. The systems have been used extensively in many areas of the United States and Canada and have proven to be very attractive in operating economics, as well as attractive in first costs considerations. The systems also provide a great deal of zone flexibility and are rather easily maintained. More recent installations of such systems include the heating -air conditioning system for Plaza Center I located in Iowa City and Cedar Towers located in Cedar Rapids. There are numberous such installations in Minneapolis -St. Paul, Minneasota, Columbus, Ohio, Toronto, Canada. The system used in many of the buildings at Expo '74 in Montreal. There are a number of such systems in office buildings, schools and corrective institutions in the inter- mountain Northwest. (This information is provided not as a sales gimmick but only reference information for the reader of this report.) As a result of the comparisons completed with respect to the pre- viously described criteria the conclusions which have been drawn are presented for consideration by the reader for use in selecting alternatives to the existing heating -air conditioning problems in the Civic Center.

Therefore, I have requested the Finance Director to initiate a study to determine the extent of services received by City residents from the County, the cost of these services, and the proportion of the service costs paid for directly by City residents from property tax and indirectly from other sources. City of Iowa Cito MEMORANDUM DATE: May 2, 1977 TO: City Council FROM: City Manager RE: Autos The FY 77 budget discussion included a review of vehicles. At that time, I indicated to the Council that action taken concerning automobiles would be brought to your attention. Very shortly, a pool of non -emergency vehicles will be established. Ibis pool will provide for the most effective utilization of all vehicles and will allow us within a short period of time to determine if any deficiencies exist. Since the budget discussion, major increases in service levels have been undertaken. For example, the rehabilitation program has been initiated and the housing inspectors are now carrying out inspections individually rather than as a team. 1:or this reason, the purchase of two more vehicles has been authorized. *City of Iowa Citi♦ MEMORAiVDUM DATE: April 27, 1977 T0: City Council �' ^ / FROM: City Manager CNV v RE: Extension of Mike Kucharzak's Service Contract The following activities were performed by Mike Kucharzak under his original contract: 1. Develop a residential rehabilitation program. 2. Develop standard inspection forms and procedures. 3. Develop standard specifications for work contracts with construction trade professionals. 4. Develop rehabilitation standards. 5. Develop interview forms and procedures. 6. Train staff. 7. Develop Rehabilitation Financing handbook of program procedures. We all have been very satisfied with Mike's expertise and the program is operational. In view of our previous satisfaction and since we have discovered some additional areas in which Mike's expertise will be beneficial, the staff has continued to use Mike under a short-term contract. During this time he is: 1. Directing the implementation of the REHAB I loan financing option of the housing rehabilitation program. 2. Assisting the staff in investigating HUD 312 loan funds. 3. Directing the final review of the Rehabilitation Financing Handbook. 4. Assisting the housing inspection, leased housing, and building inspection functions, as appropriate. The extension of Mike Kucharzak's contract will add continuity to ongoing activities and facilitate the coordination of the department's reorganization. The maximum cost of the contract extension will be $5,000 to be paid from the HCDA a n strati on account. frIty of Iowa Cit MEMORANRUM DATE: May 6, 1977 TO: Neal Berlin and City Council FROM: Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works �/✓J� RE: Traffic Engineering Workload In order to complete designs on several large Traffic Engineering projects I have instructed the Traffic Engineer to terminate action on all but the most urgent day-to-day requests. Failure to complete design work on major projects may mean that we are not going to complete the Jefferson/Market one-way signalization project, the Sycamore and Bypass 6 signal, and the Highway 6/1/218 project. Even with a maximum amount of time spent on these projects some are doubtful for summer construction and we definitely will have to defer Keokuk and Hollywood and Benton and Riverside until the summer of 1978. I have instructed the Traffic Engineer to tell citizens calling in that we will investigate their problem; however, it may be eight to twelve weeks before a reply is forthcoming. The same conditions will apply on all but the most urgent City Council requests. Present requests in from Council include: a. Request to investigate removal of parking on Broadway between Highland and Yewell - This identical problem exists on every residential street throughout the community. The Council should make a decision on whether we will or will not pull parking when it is requested on residential streets. b. Street lighting at Dubuque and Ridge - Investigation reveals there is no major problem. c. Directional signs for downtown - In the last several months we have had a request for signs to route traffic around downtown and requests to route traffic to downtown. With the chaos in downtown it is suggested that no action be taken on signing until there's some parking available in downtown. d. Remove parking on Yewell Street and Dewey Street - See A above. It is my belief that the City Manager and the City Council will be more concerned about failure to complete major assigned capital projects than about failure to respond instantly to small requests. All requests from citizens and Council are important; however, we have reached a point where something has got to give - either capital improvement projects or day-to- day service requests. It is my belief that the City Council considers successful completion of major capital improvement projects more critical than instant response to minor complaints. It is recognized, however, that the City Council will probably take more flat from failure to instantly respond to citizen complaints. 4797 Neal Berlin and City Council Page 2 If the Public Works Director has an entirely incorrect viewpoint on the above matters please advise me as to alternate courses of action. In summary, the workload exceeds the personnel available. The workload must either be deferred or eliminated and priorities set. cc: Jim Brachtel parks & recreation 'IE department MO t0.

Delete the Willow Creek Indoor Recreation Building (item #10). 3. Reduce riverfront expenditure to $100,000 per year for three years with a total of $300,000. 4. Use re -cycled asphalt for the bike trail in City Park if possible (item 6), but leave the published figure at $25,000. 5.

I am the Secretary for the Iowa Chapter of NAHRO 2 A I N 1977-78 officers include/ President: Lew Pond, Director of Urban Development in Des Moines Vice President (Housing): Loral Hullinger, Exec. Director for South Central Iowa Development Corporation in Leon Vice President (Redevelopment): Jon Ewing, Director of Planning and Community Development in Mason City Secretary: Julie Vann, CDBG Program Coordinator, Iowa City Treasurer: Arlan Wiggs, Director of Community Development in Muscatine Members -at -Large: Judy Courtney, Director of Leased Housing, Cedar Rapids Del Kentner, Urban Renewal Director, Sioux City John Stibal, CD Program Administrator, Cedar Falls I really respect all of these individuals and I'm honored to be contributing comments that are heard, especially since I'm the youngest member of the group. Iowa City with its Urban Renewal hassles has a reputation of getting projects all muddled up. People are impressed that the current Council and staff are working together to get stuff accomplished. John Simmons, Acting Director, Office of Community Development and Planning, HUD, Washington, D.C., was one of the guest speakers. We talked quite a bit. There will be three different types of CDBG funding: a. Action Grants - available to large communities like Des Moines to carry out compre ensive redevelopment programs. When the program plan is developed, the level of funding and time frame will be based on the complexity of the program and the city's capability to carry out the activities. Grantsman- ship skills will be important because only the most worthwhile applications will receive this massive scale grant. b. Entitlement Grants - available to communities with 50,000 people or more. These grants wi a awarded to communities based on a formula of poverty, growth lag, age of housing and/or population, and housing overcrowding.. Like the current Iowa City CDBG funds, we'd get the money before we identified the program and the money would be available year to year without creative grant writers on staff. • Dennis Kraft May 2, 1977 Page 2 c. Discretionary Grants - will be available to everyone else. The cities who have experience in comprehensive community development and redevelopment (like Iowa City) will -be the most likely to get funding, but grantsmanship will be important. Funding will be awarded for only projects submitted in the approved application and funded annually for 1 to 3 years. Discussions now include raising the maximum grant up from $400,000, so that more complex programs might be undertaken. John Simmons and I discussed Iowa City's situation (48,000 population), and since he doesn't have the political power to change the population cut off point downward to 45,000, he suggested we annex some more people. I know this has already been considered, but it indicated to me that he doubted that the 50,000 cutoff would change. I think we need to start worrying about the $400,000 maximum discretionary grant level. In Iowa City, we're used to spending $2,061,000 per year. $400,000 will not even maintain the rehab program very well. 3. Keith Prettyman is a Nebraska State employee (Department of Economic Development) who has been helping the 15 CDBG discretionary grant communities get applications together and local procedures established. He has a year's experience and is ready to re -write the CDBG regulations that govern discretionary grants. The reasons included: (1) staff capabilities - I am overwhelmed at times with the number of activities that must be carried out when federal funds are used. (These picky little tasks are time consuming, burdensome, closely monitored by HUD, and provide little personal satisfaction.) Iowa City is lucky to have Candy, Linda, Doug and me to carry out some of these activities. In smaller communities the capability just doesn't exist. (2)pro roil select�ion - In Iowa City we get to choose whatever project that meets our ancf y and is listed in the regulations as eligible. Discretionary cities choose the projects that they feel are most likely to be approved by HUD. Rehab and water and sewer projects are the most frequently requested. This means that in smaller communities, CDBG funds are used only to do "fire fighting," -- one shot physical improvements -- nothing complex and requiring multi-year funding. Keith and I talked more, but as a quick summary, the above information will do. It will be hard to maintain a good Community Development program with discretionary funds. I'd guess that our staff will begin leaving when CDBG funds diminish and by 1982 when the second discretionary grant is due, we'll only have staff to main- tain existing programs. I think I'll become a consultant so I can develop programs for all these small minimally -staffed communities. Keith can't get rehab programs going in many communities. The program development and monitoring is just too complex. Dennis Kraft May 2, 1977 Page 3 4. Other topics included: --Downtown redevelopment financing and a presentation of Cedar Rapids' plan. --Small group discussions about: HCDA goals and achievements Citizen participation HAP Entitlement vs. Discretionary Regulations It was a pretty good conference. I really think more people should go to the next one. It will be in Des Moines November 16-18. Conferences this close provide a relatively inexpensive way for the participants to broaden their insight and expectations of Community Development.

However, your response did not comply with the request. In a subsequent discussion, we reviewed more specifically the requirements for such a system. However, to date I have not received any additional information from you. To preclude any misunderstanding, I have included in this letter the criteria upon which you should base a proposal. The service will provide specialized transportation service to elderly and handicapped residents within Iowa City on a demand responsive basis. The City will provide an identification mechanism for qualified applicants. Although a vehicle eventually will be provided by the City without charge to the operator, the operator will be legally responsible for the operation, care and maintenance of the vehicle. The patrons will call in one day in advance to establish their intention to obtain service. It is our desire to initiate service as of July 1. Trips would be assigned on a priority basis according to the trip purpose ordering: (1) medical trips, (2) grocery shopping trips, (3) social service trip's, (4) trips related to organized social and senior activities and other shopping trips. Trips for purposes other than those above would be referred by the system dispatcher to other transportation modes, including the City bus system, and will be recommended for specialized service only if the vehicle is not operating for the above -listed trip purposes. The one vehicle will operate approximately 67 hours per week on the following schedule: Monday, 8:30 A.M. to 9:00 P.M.; Tuesday, 8:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M..; Wednesday, 8:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.; Thursday, 8:30 A.M. to 9:00 P.M.; Friday, 8:30 A.M. to 9:00 P.M.; Saturday, 8:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. and Sunday, 8:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.

In addition, the minutes of the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting of April 13, 1977, state: "McLaughlin indicated his feeling that the Ralston Creek Project is illegal because it is in opposition to the specifications of the Environmental Protection Agency." As a member of an official commission of the City, we would hope that if there are problems concerning City programs, you would bring these matters to our attention so they could be resolved before litigation becomes the only alternative. Information concerning the nature of the illegality which you describe certainly would enable the City to solve the problem before the Ralston Creek Project proceeds.

I appreciate the concern for adequate recreational and social facilities which you express. The City has filed a statement with HUD regarding the Winding Creek plans.

With one exception, however, Section 8.10:240 does permit one single family dwelling to be constructed on such a lot that is vacant or unimproved (regardless of whether the lot is located in an R or C1 Zone). Special provisions in a zoning ordinance for a nonconformity are written to prevent the indefinite prolongation of the life of the nonconformity. In numerous instances a property owner has wanted to add onto an existing residence but was prohibited from doing so because according to Section 8.10.24C, no structural alteration is permitted. Alternatively, however, the property owner could demolish the residence, thus resulting in a vacant lot, and rebuild it to the desired dimension. This obviously was not the intent of the Ordinance as conversely in this case, the nonconformity would be perpetuated. Because of this inconsistency, the Ordinance should be revised to incorporate special provisions for nonconforming lots. A proposed ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance is attached to this Staff Report. This ordinance is based upon the intent stated and implied in the following analysis. AAALYSIS This analysis is presented in two parts for the purpose of formulating: (1) an appropriate definition for a nonconforming lot, and (2) provisions for the use of nonconforming lots which necessarily will require revision of certain existing applicable regulations. Definition: A nonconforming lot, as stated above, is a lot which has less street frontage, width or area than required in the zone in which it is located or for a use permitted in that zone. A nonconforming lot, however, should not he enn- strued to be a lot which does not comply with the requirements abovementioned if the lot was established in violation of the Ordinance in the first place. A nonconforming lot, therefore, can only exist by reason of the adoption of the Ordinance. The following definition of a nonconforming lot is supplied: NONCONFORMING LOT. A LOT WHICH DOES NOT CONFORM TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS CHAPTER RELATIVE I'D FRONTAGE, WIDTH OR AREA FOR A ZONE IN WHICH 11IS LOCATED RY REASON 01' TlIF ADOPTION OF THIS CHAPTER OR SUBSEQUENT AMI:NUMENI 711141:10. 0 Provisions: -2- 0 It is necessary to establish specific requirements for nonconforming lots to prevent the indefinite prolongation of the life of the nonconformity. But in so doing, the use of the lot should not be so restricted as to prevent the reasonable use of the lot for a use permitted in the zone in which it is located if the purpose for which the Zoning Ordinance is adopted is not jeopardized (see Section 8.10.1 Purpose). According to Section 8.10.24B, only a single family dwelling may be located on an undeveloped nonconforming lot. Zones which have minimum lot frontage and width requirements, other than the R Zones, are the Cl and ORP Zones. It would be inappropriate in most cases to allow a single family residence to locate in such zones (this is an apparent contradiction in the Ordinance since a single family dwelling is not otherwise permitted in the ORP Zone; however, there are no existing nonconforming lots in an established ORP Zone). There also are other existing situations where it may be more appropriate to allow a two-family or multi -family residential use to locate on a non- conforming lot, especially in a multi -family residential area, if there is sufficient lot area for open space use. Consider, for example, the parallel case of a 40 -foot wide lot with 150 feet of depth located in an R2 Two Family Residence Zone. In the R2 Zone, the minimum lot width required is 50 feet and minimum lot area required is 6,000 square feet for a duplex. Now, if a duplex is located on the lot in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance, it may have to be orientated lenghwise with the lot but it would not have to occupy any more land area than if constructed on a 50 -foot wide lot. In consideration of the above instances, Section 8.1O.24B is revised accordingly: IN AN R OR C1 ZONE, A NONCONFORMING LOT WHICH DOES NOT MEET THE FRONTAGE AND WIDTH REQUIREMENTS MAY BE USED FOR ANY USE PERMITTED IN THE ZONE IN WHICH IT IS LOCATED PROVIDED ALL OTHER REQUIREMENTS OF THIS CHAPTER ARE MET. A NONCONFORMING LOT WHICH DOES NOT MEET THE AREA REQUIREMENT MAY BE USED ONLY FOR A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING. Finally, Section 8.10.24C indicates that any building in violation of (not in compliance with) the area regulations may not be reconstructed (except for a single family dwelling) or structurally altered. Consistent with the implied intent above, thls section should be revised as follows: A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING LOCATED ON A NONCONFORMING LOT MAY BE REPAIRED, REMODELED, RECONSTRUCTED OR STRUCTURALLY ALTERED PROVIDED ALL OTHER REQUIREMENTS OF THIS CHAPTER ARI: MET. A TWO-FAMILY OR MUL172-FAMILT BUI'LD1NG LOCATED ON A NONCONFOPMING LOT WHICH DOES NOT MEET THE AREA REQUIREMENT MAY OF REPAIRED BUT SHALL NOT HE REMODELED, RECONSTRUCTED OR STRUCTURALLY ALTERED.

UT TFIE HUMAN SERVICE STUDY The Johnson County Regional Planning Commission at the request of Iowa City as well as other area groups, has undertaken a county -wide human services study. The objectives are 1) to supply data about existing programs and agencies by providing for meaningful organiza- tion of existing data and gathering new data to supplement or to fill gaps in existing data; 2) to identify the human service needs of resi- dents of Johnson County and to determine the extent to which these needs are being met; 3) to analyze and correlate this information on human needs and services in order to make it useful for decision makers in formulating programs and allocating resources; and 4) to establish a mechanism for ongoing planning and coordination of human service, in- cluding a way for keeping information on services and needs current and available. A Human Services Committee was appointed by the Regional Planning Com- mission to organize and conduct the study. Providers of services, policy makers, representatives of funding bodies, consumers of services, and people from several other community groups make up the committee. It was the expressed intent of the Commission to involve as many sectors of the community and the social service delivery system as possible. Four major program areas were chosen for study during the first year of the two year planning project. They are: Fa�d Individual Sun- uort and Maintenance• Emervency Income and �taterill SuRport; Mental ITealth Them— ical Denendenc • and Public 11rotection ana 4ustice. Ouo- ommittees ave -been aroundeach of—these service areas. Because each' service area includes so many different programs and agencies, the sub -committees will be calling on many agency professionals to share their knowledge of the needs of people in Johnson County as well as information on the resources available to help them. After the information on needs and resources is gathered, conclusions and recommendations will be made, forwarded to the Regional Planning Commission for approval and then dis- tributed to agencies, funding bodies and community groups for their con- sideration in program development and funding decisions. The study of other service areas and the development of an on-going method of plann- ing for human services will also be part of the two year study. ABOUT THE HUMAN SERVICE INVENTORY Knowing what services and programs are available in Johnson County, how they are being provided and to whom, is extremely important to a com- prehensive human services study. We currently have information on agen- cies ir- the .Ser%,Aces index., however, no detailed information on programs has been collected. Information on clients being served at the present time is also incom- plete or totally Iscking. Yet this information is necessary if plans are to fie developed vhich are aired at hridgiug the gap between what people need and the available resources to meet them., it is much easier to develop program plans and secure funding for services if the need cull be documented. (Over) I The Human Service Inventory was designed to fill this information gap. It is divided into two parts: Part I on general agency infor- mation, and Part II on specific program information. You are being asked to complete one copy of Part II for each major program (i.e., functional budget classification) offered by your agency or organiza- tion. Me realize that all of the data for which we are asking may not be available to you or pertinent to your situation. We are asking that you complete as much of it as possible. Me are requesting that you return the questionnaire no later than May 20, 1977. The Regional Planning Human Services staff will meet with agencies on May 2nd and May 4th, 12:00 noon, at the Recreation Center to discuss any questions you have regarding the Inventory or the study. The staff trill also meet individually with agencies to assist in the completion of the questionnaire. If you would like to set up an appointment or need additional forms, please call Connie 8cternach at 351-85S6. Thank you for your cooperation. • 0 IOWA CITY PARRS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT Recreation Division • April Report j 1, by Robert A. Lee, Superintendent A. Administration: 1.

E page 6 ROOTS: WHAT IF YOU'RE ADOPTED? Anne Jenkins called Link a while back to get in touch with other adults who were adopted as children. A few weeks later, a Link staffer read a letter to the editor in the qla Iowan from Pam Midstokke, who was writing about her feelings concerning adoption in response to a D. I. story on the subject. So Link called Pam and gave her Anne's number, and the two made contact. Both Anne and Pam have located their biological mothers, though neither has arranged a meeting. Anne found hers af- ter contact with an adoption agency and some detective work on her own. Pam's mother sought her out through an adoption agency, and they have corresponded for several months. For Anne, finding her mom was a life- long goal. "I don't expect a mother - daughter relationship with her; I'd like to be friends," she says. Anne also says she would like to thank her mother for not having an abortion. In her letter, Pam wrote, "It doesn't matter where I come from, but what I am today." Having been adopted didn't con- tribute to an identity crisis for Pam; she closed by saying,'Perhaps I am just very fortunate to have such wonderful parents who gave me a strong concept of self-worth. For I have never had to ask, 'Who am I?" People interested in discussing adop- tion can call Link to get in touch with Anne and Pam and to get the address cf the Adoptees Liberty Movement Association. • RESOURCE ALERT! * Link wants to add YOUR name, and * the names of others you know, to our * resource files.
