FROM: City Manager
RE: Urban Renewal Land Marketing
The urban renewal land has been placed on the market effective July 13. The
Prospectus by which urban renewal land is being marketed states, "during the
period when proposals are being accepted, no official oral interpretation of
the City's requirements will be given to any potential offerors. Requests for
official interpretation or clarification must be submitted in writing, and all
replies to such requests will be issued as addenda to this Prospectus to all
concerned parties."
Because the Prospectus also states that in all cases proposed development must
fully comply with all applicable codes and ordinances, various departments will
be asked from time to time questions regarding City codes and ordinances which
would apply to development. When such questions are asked, City personnel must
limit their answers to referring the questioner to the appropriate code or ordi-
nance and to making the written material available to the questioner when re-
quested to do so. Extreme caution must be exercised in giving any verbal inter-
pretation, which is her than routine, regarding the codes and ordinances or inter-
pretation regarding any other matter affecting the urban renewal property.
Any request for.interpretation as to the meaning of specific provisions in the
Urban Renewal Prospectus, bid packet, or applicable codes and ordinances must be
referred to Paul Glaves, Redevelopment Program Coordinator. These questions will
be answered in writing and a copy of the question and answer will be sent to all
parties who have picked up proposal packets and the appropriate department.
When such interpretations and clarifications are requested, they must be answered
in writing as soon as possible. Accordingly, when the Redevelopment Division
receives formal requests for interpretation or clarification, they will be
requesting the appropriate department to prepare a response on a priority basis.
The successful marketing of the urban renewal land will depend on the accuracy
and timeliness of such responses.

RE: Planned Marketing Publicity
1. The staff, along with Zuchelli, Hunter and Associates, has put together a publici
program for the Urban Renewal Land Marketing effort. lie have. printed 300 copies
of the Prospectus and an initial run of 80 copies of the Proposal Packet. Based
on the distribution of the documents during the first 2 days of the solicitation
period, we are preparing to print an additional 200 copies of the Prospectus and
an additional 70 copies of the Proposal Packet.
2. We are using a variety of methods to convey information to the public regarding
.the Urban Renewal Land Marketing Program. The appropriate legal notice is being
printed in the local newspaper. Following the news conference which was held
on July 13, media coverage has been excellent.
lie have compiled a list of potential investors and developers or people who have
otherwise requested to be informed, composed of 56 Iowa City addressees and 122
addressees outside of Iowa City. We have sent letters to all local addressees
informing them of the availability of the Prospectus. We have additionally sent
letters to all of the out-of-town addressees and have also sent under separate
cover a copy of the Prospectus to each individual who is on the list who is from
out of town. In the letters which we have sent out we made reference to the
"Developer's Workshop" which is to be held in Iowa City by Don Zuchelli, on
August 3.
lie will be placing small newspaper advertisements in several regional newspapers
in the Midwest including, Minneapolis, Chicago, Omaha, Des Moines, and St. Louis.
Ile will also place a small ad in the Wall Street Journal, similar to the one
Don Zuchelli used for his Flint, Michigan, project. The developer's workshop
which will be held in Iowa City on August 3, will provide additional information
and assistance to parties who are interested in putting together proposals. In
addition to this effort, Zuchelli, Hunter and Associates will be contacting
investors and developers, who from their experience, may be interested in
undertaking major developments in Iowa City.

Meeting on July 6, 1977, the Housing Commission expressed its
interest in promptly reviewing the Legal Department's draft of the
proposed H.O. F, M.C. in an effort to produce a final document for

purpose.of consideration of.the Legal Department draft'. The Housing
Commission intends to submit its final document to the City Council

RE: CCN Membership TT
We need to discuss the CCN membership. A committee of fifteen members was established
to gather and evaluate citizen proposals and input for community development projects.
The committee now includes a radio station owner, realtor, property investor, social
worker, lawyer, retired laborer, retired homemaker, retired meat cutter, retired
journalist, retired school master, student, handicapped student activity coordinator,
and elderly activity coordinator. Together this group represents most segments of
Iowa City's population in one form or another.
I think the size of the group is good. It allows more segments of the population
to be represented.
I think the composition of the group is good. These people are interested in the
community and everything that is going on. They cane to meetings anxious to
participate.
Now for the problems:
1. When terms were assigned to individuals, even the Park and Recreation
Commission representative and the Housing Commission representative were
assigned terms. It is important to coordinate housing projects and plans
and site improvement projects with other established commissions. I think that
these two CCN positions should have ongoing terms and that delegates should be
appointed by the Housing Commission and Park and Recreation Commission. Their
representation is important. I don't think the Council needs to get involved
with re -appointing Commission delegates.
2. Since his/her appointment last March, Leslie Anderson has never appeared at a
meeting. I have written him/her several times, but never received a response.
Sandy and I have both tried to contact him by phone. This position needs to
be refilled as soon as possible.
3. Eve Bashnagel filled Andrea Hauer's two month term and should be re -appointed
for a two year term.
4. Peter Verstegen's position remains vacant.
S. Doris Bridgeman found suitable non -apartment type housing, that was within her
budget, in Coralville (rather than Iowa City). Since she has left the city
limits, unfortunately she is no longer eligible to be a CCN member. Her position
should be refilled.

Dear Mr. Bergmann:
The City Council, at its regular meeting of June 21, 1977, received and placed
on file your letter concerning the University's plans for student -run cooperative
housing at 130 Grand Avenue Court. The City's legal staff has checked into this
matter and determined that the municipal zoning code and other ordinances are
not applicable to University -owned houses. A recent Attorney General's opinion
on this subject is attached to this letter.
If.you have any further questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate
to contact me.

An Official Opinion
From the Office of
RICHARD C. TURNER
Attorney General of Iowa
February 23, 1977
MUNICIPALITIES: (lousing Codc—Ch. 413, Code of Iowa, 1975. A
municipal housing code is not applicable to Side owned housing.
(Blumberg to Harkin, Story County Attorney, 2.23-77) $x`77-2.13
Afs. Ruth R. Harkin, County Attorney, Story County: We have your
opinion request of February 10, 1977, regarding a proposed housing code.
The city of Ames is adopting a new housing code pursuant to Chapter
413 of the 1075 Code of Iowa. You ask whether that housing code would
be applicable to Iowa State University's student housing. By "student
housing" you mean those houses owned by the University and rented to
the students.
Generally, a statute of general application is not applicable to the
state if it is restricting or limiting, unless the stale is named expressly
or by necessary implication. See, 1963 O.A.G. 522, and State r. City of
Des Moines, 1936, 221 Iowa 642, 266 N.W. 41. It was held in that case
(221 Iowa at G47) that "'the general words of a statute ought not to
include the government or affect its rights, unless that construction be
clear and indisputable upon the text of the act..' " Our office has further
held that municipalities may not enforce their building codes or state
O -
laws concerning construction against the stale except as expressly al-
lowed by statute. 1970 O.A.G. 353. See n)so, Panhts V. City of St. Louis,
446 S.W.2d 144 (Alo. 1969), where that court held that the Stnte and
its agencies are not within the purview of a statute unless an intention
to include them is clearly manifested, especially where prerogatives,
rights, titles or interests of the Stale would be divested or diminished or
liabilities imposed upon iL
Chapter 413 of the Code is very general in its application. we are
unable to find anything in that chapter which indicates any legislative
-
intent that the State or its agencies are to be included. If a statute
cannot be construed to include the State, then neither may an ordinance
based upon that statute.
Accordingly, we are of the opinion that a municipal housing code is
not applicable to State owned housing.

IOWA CITY PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Recreation Division
• June Report
1977
by Robert A. Lee, Superintendent
This brings FY 77 to a close and I believe the goals set forth at the
beginning have been attained within reasonable expectations. An experienced
permanent staff continues to operate programs and facilities in a capable
manner providing the people of Iowa City with a well balanced recreation
program. All of the program staff have been involved with public relations
in making speeches to local community groupsand appearing on numerous
radio programs along with an occasional TV exposure.
The two greatest concerns of staff have not changed: 1. The grubby
east entrance to the Center which is used by a conservative 75% of the
4-5000 people per month visiting the Center. The parking and traffic flow
is unattractive and hazardous. We appreciate the fact that improvements
have been delayed because of the railroad litigation and Ralston Creek flood
.control but in the meantime the years go by and the unsatisfactory conditions
-- continue. In comparison with other City facilities: Library, Civic Center,
Water Plant, Land Fill, City Park, Sewerage Plant, Chauncey Swan, Airport
this much used facility ranks rather low in entrance appeal. 2. The lack
of funds for adequate advertizing of program in order to keep the public
sufficiently informed; whether we like it or not we are in competition
with the University of Iowa, Kirkwood Community College and various quasi
public and private agencies for the public's recreation time.
I. Goal Status:
A. ASERP: involved 13 of 14 possible sites or 93% of the goal.
The Catholic grade school decided they were not interested and
those children had the option of attending activities at
Sabin just a few blocks away. We would like to go back to
3 sessions.
B. Ski Clinics: 100% complete but Iowa City continues to have
poor weather conditions for this activity.
C. Integrating handicapped persons; great strides have been made
and continued effort is being expended in this endeavor.
A percentage goal completion is undetermined.
D. Traveling specialists: 100%. complete. This program much
improved over last summer due to personnel and an administrative
change in supervision.
E. Cultural Arts: 100% complete with the children's drama troupe
going strong and ready to perform. Masters classes did
well; use of the Hillside Stage increasing and classes
holding their own. While the quality of our classes is good,
the number of classes which fill is about 60% of what we offer,
too much competition! We have increased use of the craft
room with some successful children's activities during the
school year in the afternoon and on weekends.

with good response. Trips include: Old Creamery Theatre
in Garrison, King Tut in Chicago, Adventureland in Des Moines,
Dubuque boat trip, Cubs baseball in Chicago, Chiefs football
in Kansas City, State Fair in Des Moines.

Monthly Report
Police Department
June, 1977
General
The Police Department received 2381 citizen generated re-
quests for service in June. A to -.al of 1008 arrests were
effected by Departmental members. Most crime and offense
classifications, with few exceptions, remained relatively
stable. A large number of breaking and enterings of bus-
inesses were cleared by the arrest of two juveniles. Per-
sonal injury accidents increased slightly. However, the
total number of reported accidents decreased.
The Animal Shelter reported 221 complaints for the month.
Somebody adopted a dog and approximately one-half of the
animals impounded were reclaimed. Not a very impressive
record for pet lovers and owners. One duck and sixteen
birds hollered "fowl" at Animal Shelter Personnel, and
one snake and varied and sundry furry and feathery creatures
found their way to the facility.
Of great concern is the fact that thirty-two citizens were
bitten by animals during June.
Cash receipts for the Shelter totaled $898.00 for -the month.
Statistical reports are appended.
pernnnnel
Officer Tricia Klug announced her resignation effective
July 1, 1977. Tricia is going -to become a carpenter where
she hopes 'to be better able to express her "creative ability."
Animal Control Officer Barb Russo submi't'ted her resignation
effective July 9, 1977. Miss Russo is entering nursing
school.
Three young people ranging in age from 14 'to 18 years were
hired as Police Cadets under 'the CETA summer program.
Officer Leo Eastwood was assigned to an eight week long
delinquency prevention institute at the University of
Minnesota.

HUMAN SERVICLS PLANNING PROGRAM
MONTHLY REPORT
Goal
To make the planning and implementation of human services in Johnson
County as efficient and effective as possible by providing policy
makers with the information necessary to make sound decisions about
needs and resources for programs such as health, recreation, social
services, economic opportunity, education/information and transportation.
Objectives
1. To supply data about existing programs and agencies.
a. To provide for meaningful organization of
existing data.
b. To gather new data as needed to supplement or to
fill gaps in existing data.
2. To identify the human needs of the residents of Johnson
County and to determine the extent to which these needs
are being met.
3.
To analyze and correlate the information on human needs
in order to make it useful for decision makers in formu-
lating programs and allocating resources.
To establish a mechanism for ongoing planning and coordi-
nation of human services, to include a way for keeping
information on services and needs current and available.
The following was accomplished during the month of June:
1. Correction sheets sent out for Johnson County Services Index.
Needs assessment methods developed by staff in all Family and
Individual Life Service areas.
Summarization of returned agency questionnaires (67 completed
to date). Follow-up done on remaining agencies.
Summarization of remaining church questionnaires, analysis of
data completed for Emergency Services.
Analysis completed for school questionnaires (near 100% return rate).
Distribution and return of questionnaire for attorneys.
3311
r
2.
7. Research of list of social workers, psychiatrists and psycholo-
gists in private practice for questionnaire.
B. Selection of data to be analyzed from Iowa City Survey in con-
junction with CitylPlanning staff.
9. Sub -committee meetings held with the following agencies:
Juvenile probation, County Attorney, Iowa City and Coralville
police, Sheriff, Adult Probation and Parole, Project HOPE,
University Hospital, MECCA, Mercy Hospital -Chemical Dependency
Unit, Reality X and Wesley House
10. Consultation with spouse abuse project.
11. Draft of Police Referral Manual completed.
1, 12. Distribution of Youth Questionnaires.
13. Presentations on Human Services project to Iowa City Council,
Board of Supervisors and United Way Board of Directors.
._: NOTE:_ The work plan specified analysis and summarization of social
indicators for June. Development of a report around social
indicators was felt to be an unnecessary step. This informs
-
tion will appear in the profiles by service area.
Problems:
1. It has been difficult to ,yet comprehensive information from
close -ended questionnaires which have been necessary in order to
get a good response rate (school questionnaire).
2. •The amount of human services staff time required to get meaning-
ful data from the Iowa City questionnaires was much greater than
anticipated.
3. It has been very difficult to get questionnaires returned from
the Department of Social Services.
4. Lists of private practice providers were not available and thus
had to be developed with a great deal of effort required.
Projected Activities for July:
1. Completion of data gathering both through written questionnaires
and interviews in all'sub-committees except Family and Individual
Life.
2. Meetings with sub -committees summarizing unmet needs which have been
identified.
3. Development of outline for profiles.

Doris Bridgeman noted cases of children neglecting parents
by "dumping" them at Close Mansion and forgetting about them;
they delegate the responsibility for care of the elderly per-
son to C.O.A. which has no spontan mus programs to attend
to these people's needs. Ms. Bridgeman cited cases of ne-
glect where family members are available to help their elderly
relative but call in agency personnel to perform the services
instead.
Thea.Sando cited cases of abuse (slapping, stuffing food into
people too fast for them to swallow, cold food served, people
dropped into chairs) in family situations. -She was unfamiliar
with the problems of institutions. She proposed that the
position of an ombudsmen under the State Commission or Aging
should be created to deal with diverse problems. This was
proposed for consideration in the State Legislature but the
bill did not come to the floor.
Beth Walsh noted that adult Protective Services in the Depart-
ment.'of Social Services do not necessarily deal with cases
< of'in-home abuse. A'caseworker cannot always. gain access to
a household where abuse is suspected; a child who abuses his/her
parent in,their -:own home has the right to refuse admittance .

Mary; McCue..remarked on .the subtle dynamics of abuse or neglect.

Jack:, Leonard explained.the government's victimization of the
elderly,,
--Tax.lavis confuse the elderly and do not allow for ex-
ceptions.in individual cases (e.g. for owed taxes
to._be paid back).
Social security regulations are complex and cut-offs
seem arbitrary in some cases.
Building 'codes and'•mortage payments are inflexible;
if a,home is, condemned the fixed income elderly owner
has no alternative for shelter.
Maureen ITaylor, pointed out, however, that even when the City
offers to .provide the elderly tenant or owner with the money
to'b'ring'•their unit up to code, the elderly person is reluc-
tant (for many reasons) to change their home.

TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
RE: Oiling of Gravel Roads
Until last year, the City policy was that property owners would pay for the
oiling of gravel roads. However, at that time the City Council authorized the
oiling of South Sycamore Street. This was done primarily because Sycamore
had been an oiled road when that section was located in the County. Since
that time we have received several requests for oiling, particularly in the
Foster Road and Taft Road area.
In order to maintain the seal on South Sycamore Street, the Director of
Public Works is considering a chip seal for that area at an estimated cost
of $7,700. However, several residents of Foster Road and Taft Speedway now
would like to have their road oiled. A couple of these owners have agreed to
pay for the oiling on their own. It is clear when they realize that Sycamore
has been chip sealed they will at least request that the City oil their roads.
The estimated cost of oiling in the area of development is approximately $2,000.

RE: You Smash Em
The City Manager has been contacted again by a local realtor representing
the owner of the You Smash Em building. The You Smash Em building is still
on the market at an asking price of $125,000. It is my understanding that
the owner would consider a contract sale which would not extend beyond a
five-year'period. As the building has been on the market for some time, it
is also possible that the price might be less than currently listed.
As there has been a change in the conditions of sale, I indicated to the
realtor I would bring this matter to your attention for review.

RE: University Automation System
I have had an opportunity to review Mr. Houck's memorandum of June 28 con-
cerning the Civic Center HVAC Study and the University automation system.
I think it definitely would be desirable for the engineer who will be working
on the Civic Center's system to discuss with the University the possibility
of utilizing the University's Delta system.
In addition, I think it would be desirable for the Resources Conservation
Commission and the University to discuss the feasibility of the University
contracting for Delta service with the owners of the major buildings which
will be constructed in the urban renewal area. It appears that the University
could provide a good cost effective service by contracting with the owners of
those major buildings and possibly also financially aid the University.

TO: Chairman, Airport Commission
FROM: City Manager
RE: Airplane
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a written record of recent
discussions which the City Manager has had with Nancy Seiberling of Project
GREEN, and of conversations she has had with Mr. Pete Peterson and Mr. Denny
Peterson.
Disposition. At such time as the subcommittee studying the removal
of the airplane and the Airport Commission agree that it is not
feasible to repair the plane, the Airport Commission will execute
the appropriate disposition documents. Those documents have been
obtained by the City staff and have been forwarded to Mr. Peterson's
secretary.
2. Value. Mr. Denny Peterson of Dewey's Salvage has indicated that once
he receives word from the Airport Commission that the plane will not
be repaired, he will dispose of the plane and provide to the Airport
Commission and the public an accounting of the costs associated with
the removal of the plane and any salvage value that has accrued as a
result of the disposition. The Airport Commission will coordinate
with Mr. Peterson to ensure the disposition of the plane is carried
out in accordance with the demilitarization requirements of the Air
Force as specified in the documents which have been provided to Mr.
Peterson.
Ac uisition of New Plane. Mr. Jim Hynes has been pursuing the
acquisit on of a new plane both from the National Guard, through
the Governor's office, and the Air Force. Mr. Hynes has been pro-
vided with a copy of the documents which Mr. Vevera obtained from
the Air Force as a result of his trip to Tucson. Mr. Hynes has
indicated that he expects to have an answer back within a week as
to whether the plane will be obtained through the National Guard
or from Tucson.
4. Coordination with Project GREEN. Within

DATE, July 19, 1977
TO: Mike Kucharzak, Dir. of Housing & Inspection Services
FROM: 'Pony Kushnir, Asst. City Attorney
RE: Building Located on 801 S. Van Buren
FACTS
An application for a building permit has been made on July 15, 1977,
for a building located on 801 S. Van Buren Street. The building is located
in and upon the City right of 'way known as South Van Buren Street. The
building and its location upon a City right of way dates back to the
late 1920's. In that the minutes of a regular meeting of May 6,'1927, show
that the City Council instructed the City Attorney to draw a notice to a
Mr. C. C. GAnn to remove his possessions off the street within 90 days.
It appears that a Mr. C. C. Gwinn was the owner of the structure and I am
unable to ascertain when the structure was placed upon the property.
Subsequently, at a City Council meeting on May 18, 1927, the minutes of
said meeting show a petition by neighbors to permit Mr. .G wiwinn to use said
street for his house. The City Councilaccepted the petition by motion and
there is no record concerning the house or the street until 1929. On
April 26, 1929, Mr. Owinn asked for permission to build an addition to his
house on S. Van Buren Street. This request- was referred to the streets
and alleys camtittee. On May 9, 1929, the minutes of the meeting reflect
as follows:
"It was moved by Van Der Zee and seconded by Kaufmann
that the prayer of.the.petition of Clarence P. (twin
for permission to build an addition to his house located
on the City street on S. Van Buren Street, be granted
upon the filing of an agreement to vacate upon notice,
motion carried."
ISSUES PRESERIED
What rights, if any, have accrued to the owner with respect to the
placement of said structure upon a City street?
�.. CONCLUSION
The City of Iowa City with respect to said structure may: (a). vacate
a portion of.S. Van Buren and sell to the owner of the property a -parcel
upon -which said structure -is -located; -(b) grant a. building permit -to trove
said structure from the street; (c) vacate the right of way and offer the
property to the highest bidder; (d) deny the issuance of any building perntit
for said structure on a basis that it's located on a non -conforming lot.
The last alternative would ultimately require the demolition of the house
as the owner would be unable to make any repairs to it. As a genera]. prcpo-
33/8
sition, a municipality nay not in any way surrender or impair its control and
use over streets and public ways. The right of the public to use the streets
in a proper manner is absolute and paramount. Thus, it is frequently stated
that there is no natural right to use the streets for purposes of private
business or purposes. The interest the municipal corporation has in the
streets and public ways being in trust for the public generally, ordinarily
its right to maintain a suit to remove an obstruction or encroachment therein
cannot be defeated by delay in resorting to legal remedies to remove it, nor
by the statute of limitations, nor prescription. No equities arise in favor
of an individual who takes private possession of a public way, and his occupancy
is subject to the permit right of the public whenever asserted. See McQuillan,
Municipal Corporations, section 30.75, Waterloo v. Union Mail Company, 72 Iowa
437, 34 N.W. 197, and Corwin v. City of Waterloo,
In the matter at hand it seen that permission was granted to a Mr. Gwinn to
place such an obstruction upon a right of. way. However, this permission is
clearly limited as set forth in the minutes of the Council meeting on May 17,
1929, where the City clearly reserves the right to order the vacation of said
street. Consequently, successors - in interest to said structure were put on
notice that said structure may be required to be moved at any tine and no
vested rights accrued to the owner or owners.
As the building is located upon a non -conforming lot, that is, it is not
located on any lot, no building permit should issue as so stated in our zoning
code. It seen that the best way to resolve this problem is to either vacate
and sell a portion of the street or require the building turned.

RE: City Plaza logo
Attached is a copy of a design which has been jointly developed by our urban
renewal consultants and city staff. 111e concept for having a logo for downtown
Iowa City is to establish an easily recognizable name and graphic identity
which can be used in many ways to promote downtown Iowa City.
The design is a simple bold combination of the letters 'c' and 'p' with an
accent in the lower right corner. hien the name City Plaza would be used in
combination with the symbol, the name would lead into the symbol from the left,
as illustrated on the attachment. The lettering is a modification of Ronda
li.g}it type.
The colors recommended for the logo are brown for the 'cp' and green for the
accent on a white background. it is felt that the colors will reflect the
wood, brick and vegetation of the new City Plaza. It is also reconmiended that
for printed materia] the accent could change with the seasons -- green for
spring, yellow for summer, orange.for fall and blue for winter. It is also
possible that cutout logos could appear in the accent such as telephone symbols
or store identifications.
The uses of the logo are numerous. It could be used in the project on flags,
kiosks and on other design elements. It could be used on directional traffic
signs indicating the route to City Plaza. The logo could help downtown
merchants establish an advertising identity for downtown Iowa City as a shopping
center. Also, the logo would be used by community groups who would hold special
events in City Plaza.
It has been suggested that the City copyright or register the logo as a trade-
mark, so quality control of the logo will be assured. This will also discourage
others from improperly using the logo. The City would have copies of the
artwork available for general use for only a small charge to cover graphic
production costs. In time, the logo material could be turned over to a down-
town management group for day to day management, with the City still obtaining
original control.

MEMORANDUM City of Iowa City

TO: Neal Berlin
FROM: Hugh Mose/Dick Plastino�r+
RE: FY 77 Transit Budget
Expenditures for Mass Transportation in FY 77 have been
found to differ substantially from the budgeted amounts for
many line items. The following chart will hopefully outline
where these discrepancies have occurred, and will help explain
,the cause of each deviation.
To summarize, most of the budget overage was caused by
a dramatic increase in labor charges levied against Transit
by the Equipment Division. Other factors of less significance
were associated with the departure of Steve Morris, the hiring
of a new Transit Manager, the installation of minor improve-
ments at the transit garage, higher fuel costs, and the employ-
ment of temporary personnel to operate extra bus runs during
the winter months. The net result has been that expenditures
have exceeded the Transit budget by about $72,500.
(All of the figures in the column entitled Actual Expen-
ditures are projected expenses through June 30, 1977.)

Re: Legal Intern Program
Mayor and Council Members:
I thought you would be interested in the attached letter from
Professor Robert Bartels at the University of Iowa College of Law
regarding our legal internship program. As you can see from the
enclosures our program has been very favorably received by the
Law School and by the legal interns. This program has been of
great benefit both to the City and to the law students and I am pleased
that it is working so well.
Very truly you rp,
Joh W. Hayek

I thought you might be interested in seeing the responses we
received from students who worked in your office last sanester to
a question on our evaluation form concerning quality of fieldwork
supervision. As you will see, their comments are quite favorable.
For your information, I'm also enclosing a general statistical
summary of student responses to other portions of the questionnaire.
Obviously, the favorable responses to Questions 1 and 2 reflect to a
large extent the students' positive reactions to their experiences
"in the field." (I'm sorry that I can't break dawn the figures for
individual offices, but handling the questionnaires so as to preserve
sane measure of anonymity makes that difficult to impossible).
We are tentatively planning a fall semester orientation session
for Tuesday, August 23, at 7:00 p.m. in i3Dan 36 of the law school.
We would of course appreciate it if it would be possible for you to
have a representative (or two, or three . . .) at that meeting to
iron out schedules, etc.
Please excuse the lack of signature, but this had to be typed in
my absence.
Sincerely,
Robert Bartels

MINUTES OF STAFF MEETING •
July 13, 1977
There will not be an informal session of the Council on Monday, July 18, nor a
formal session on Tuesday, July 19.
On Friday we will send out a schedule of informal session agendas for most of
the month of August.
The sanitary sewer study should be added to the informal agenda.
The agenda for the July 12 meeting was reviewed:
The Northside neighbors were in attendance at the meeting and expressed
concern about additional park acquisition.
An executive session concerning the Hayek property should be added to the
informal agenda. Mr. Meardon should be contacted before setting an exact
date.
Mr. Suiter filed with the City Clerk a file on the Hayek property. This
should be duplicated and furnished to the City Council with Friday's
packet. The Director of Community Development should review the file to
determine what material should be duplicated.
The Resources Conservation Commission gave a report on the water situation.
It is the Commission's conclusion that there is not a serious problem.
The Secretary to the City Manager was requested to obtain information about
House Report HR6831. The Administrative Assistant will draft a letter
concerning this bill for the Mayor's signature.
A question arose concerning the uniform codes as to whether or not they
had been reviewed by the different boards. The Legal staff was requested
to have the ordinances endorsed by the appropriate boards. The Director
of Housing and Inspection Services was requested to contact Councilman
Selzer concerning the uniform codes.
Public Works was reminded that the snow fence is still in front of the
Jefferson Building. Also the bases for the signs should be installed.
Priority for jobs for the Public Works Department (Street Division) should
be: 1) Install four-way stop signs at Wayne and First Avenue, and 2) Install
sign bases.
A bid sheet for the Schmidt contract did not go out with the agenda. In the
future, bid tabulations should be furnished with the agenda.
Houses are constructed on the William White Boulevard right-of-way. The
Department of Public Works was requested to determine how this land was
transferred to the property owners.
There is still a problem with people driving around the barricades and on
the sidewalk on College and Dubuque. Also, skateboards in the downtaan area
continue to be a problem.
The Director of Community Development brought up the problem of pigeons at
the College Block Building. This is a continuing problem and the property
should be kept clean until sold.

JUNE ACTIVITY:
Staff Reports were prepared for a preliminary Large Scale Non -Residential
Development Plan, four preliminary plats, two final plats, and two variance
requests. A first draft of a policy study in regard to county subdivisions
within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of Iowa City was completed. Develop-
ment was also completed on a proposed two -lot subdivision ordinance. Because
of vacation schedules, other proposed work activities were not completed.

No specific numeric objectives for subdivision plat reviews, rezoning appli-
cation reviews, etc. are established due to the impossibility of predicting
the number of submissions which will be filed. A second draft concerning
the development of a policy study regarding county subdivisions will be
completed in the month of July. After its completion, it is anticipated
that comments will be solicited from staff and the Johnson County Planning
and Zoning Commission. Development of procedures for the submission, review
and processing of applications for LSRDs, LSNRDs, rezoning and PADS will
continue and be completed in July or August.

MONTHLY REPORT
REHAB DIVISION
June 1977
GOALS
1. Staff orientation through July 1977 (especially in department reorganization)
2. In light of the fact that Steve Burns left our staff during June we have
revised our projected end of the year goals. In addition, we also believe
that the current building surge will make competition for contractor firm
very difficult.
Proposed calendar year end goals: 15 Rehab loans
15-20 Grant/Forgiveable loans
3. Fall activities - Begin developing auxiliary programs such as demolition
and 312.
June 77 Activities:
1. Completed loan program outline - Council approved.
2. Completed 2 contracts (3 complete to date). Value: $21,000.00
3. 1 contract underway. Value: $10,000.00
4. Completed the following activities:
a. fipankial surveys - 5
b. 2 structure surveys
S. Daily construction inspections.
6. Contracts out for bids - 3
7. Specifications ready for bidders - 3
Proposed July Activities:
1. Complete set up on first Rehab I loan case
2. Attempt to offer more enticing packages to contractors in order to
get our Fall construction under way. We believe that, at present,
servicing our existing clients precludes making any decision on hiring
new staff or filling our existing vacancy.

RE: Northside Neighborhood Preservation Study - Monthly Status Report
We are now well into the second phase of the work program.
Drafts of several of the topical elements of the work program
have been completed and are now circulating for internal comment
and discussion. Additionally, we have extended the study
boundary area slightly to the north and are now in the process
of inventoring that area.
During the next month to six weeks we are expecting to complete
the remaining topical elements of phase two of the work program
and have at least in preliminary form, proposals and/or plans
for the transportation, parking, community facilities, land
use, and capital improvements needs of the neighborhood.
Additionally, such information as historic resources, impact
linkages and measurements as well as a handbook on the processes
and procedures utilized in the study will be forthcoming,
although at a somewhat later date.
As with all information generated in the study, the above will
be presented to the Council, Planning and Zoning as well as
CPCC. A packet is now being prepared which will be forwarded to
those bodies containing minutes, contact reports and block
proposals from phase one of the study.

Have 'you ever thought of going into

Since LINK is a small business (as

First of all, Sherry affirmed that

Second,_the person must find sup-`
pliers to determine capital and in-
vestment needed.
Thirds go to SCORE, the chapter of
retired businesspeople, who give much
help.
Fourth, the rest is sheer guts.
To set up a business, Sherry is
convinced one needs to put more money
.into advertising than into rent�and
keep overhead as low as possible.
Sherry also sees the nded to adjust
some values. -For example, some won't
accept a designer who wears jeans on
the job..

MEMORANDUM
DUD
DATE: July 15, 1977
TO: City Council
FROM: Dennis Kraft, Director of Community Development
RE: Happy Hollow Park Chronology
Approximately 1957 to 1974
The City and Hayek's maintained informal contract
relationship for use of the Hayek property adjacent to
Happy Hollow Park.
November 1974
The City entered into a 12 month contract with the
Hayeks for use of the land -- primarily for a parking
area -- in exchange for general property maintenance
by City park crews.
November 1975
The contract expired but was not renewed until July,
1976.
February 1976
Roxie Haldeman of the Ralston Creek Coordinating
Committee submitted a project request to the CCN for
Ralston Creek Watershed "initial corrective measures".
The request was for $500,000. The Hayek property was
a potential water detention site.
February 1976
The City Council approved the 2nd year CDBG application
including $390,000 for Ralston Creek improvements.
The application was submitted to HUD March 2nd.
March 1976
Powers -Willis released their first report suggesting
$10,000 would be needed to develop the Hayek property
into a suitable water detention site. It was one of
the few in -town sites available and therefore important.
June 1976
The City Council submitted to HUD a revised CDBG
application reducing the Ralston Creek allocation from
$390,000 to $200,000. The action followed a HUD
directive following the Urban Renewal court case.
August 1976
CCN discussed the Ralston Creek Watershed Management
projects -- including the Happy Hollow detention site.
August 1976
Hayeks submitted a zoning application requesting upzone
from R-2 to R-3.
September 1976
P F, Z discussed the application. Several neighborhood
residents were at the meeting. The application was
thereafter supposed to be submitted to the Park and
Recreation Commission for review and comment.
3.3;Z6
Neal Berlin
July 15, 1977
Page 2
September 1976 Neighborhood residents collected 386 signatures
opposed to the zoning application request.
September 1976 Park and Recreation reviewed the situation and decided
not to support the rezoning request, and to instead
explore acquisition possibilities.
August - November 1976
Powers -Willis plans for developing the Hayek area into
a water detention site continued. Land rights were
to be obtained in the form of an easement. An
environmental assessment was made. The project would
have no significant impact on the physical or social
environment.
November 1976
CCN held 3 neighborhood meetings (one at Horace Mann
School) and two public meetings to receive citizen
ideas for community development projects. Happy Hollow
was not discussed at the neighborhood meeting, but
two letters were received at a public meeting requesting
park expansion.
December 1976
The Park and Recreation Commission discussed Happy
Hollow Park expansion. Dennis Showalter obtained a
property appraisal from a local agency, and thereafter
a 2nd appraisal from another agency.
December 1976
Bill Meardon was contracted to represent the City in
matters concerning the Happy Hollow Park expansion.
December 1976
Wayne Begley contacted HUD and other agencies in an
effort to prevent water detention in the park.
January 1977
A Northside Neighborhood meeting was held. Plastino
discussed the Watershed Management Plan.
January 1977
Later the Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the
water detention proposal and decided to support the
request for CDBG funds to acquire the property for dual
use: park activities and water detention.
January 1977
Bill Meardon reviewed, the two appraisals and staff
reviewed the CDBG.regulations. It was decided that two
additional appraisals would be needed to meet HUD regs.

�J
February 1977 The City Council directed staff to file a 3rd year
CDBG application which included $50,000 to acquire
the Hayek parcel for use as a water detention site
and for recreation activities.
March 1977 Appraisers were invited to bid for alpraisal contract
in Iowa City and thereafter Iowa Appraisal and Research
Corp. and S. DeWayne Guernsey were contracted.
March 1977 The staff re-evaluated the environmental review
record and considered the impact of acquisition vs.
easement rights.
May 1977 Appraisal reports were reviewed by staff and Council
was asked to establish Just Compensation. The Council
decided to delete the project.
June 1977 Hayeks decided to fence off their property since there
was no longer a contract with the City. (see letter
attached)

Neal Berlin, City Manages'
Bob Bowlin, Asst. City Attorney
Hiring of Special Assistant City Attorney for Park Property
Acquisition
sition
Dear Neal:
Dennis Showalter has approached me with regard to obtaining
legal advice for the appraisers who are working on the property
the City proposes to acquire Fran Will Hayek. I have discussed
the matter with John at our matting of December 1, 1976, and John
indicates that he does not want any of the Assistant City Attorneys
to work on this matter, because he feels we will be in a conflict
situation. At the very least, it would be a very uncomfortable
situation for any of us.
John feels that a special assistant city attorney' should be
hired for the legal work on this project. We will be happy to
supply you with some appropriate names, and in addition to draft
a resolution for Council authorizing the hiring of such an attorney.
Dennis has also raised the question as to which budget the
costs should come from. i suppose our view is that this represents
a cost of the project, and might appropriately be charged to the
park department budget. This is a matter that perhaps you will need
to resolve.
Please advise us if you wish the names of sane attorneys and
if you wish a resolution for Council. Thank you, Neal.

Re: Hayek Property Acquisition
Dear Mr. Berlin:
SrleLa�l•T •'%
Tr.Lr.r11ou1
AREA CODE 1111
You have appointed me as special City Attorney for the purpose
of possible acquisition of the IIayek property located adjacent 'to Phe
Brown Street playground. In this capacity, I have received the appli-
cable correspondence from Mr. C. Peter Hayek and a copy of the Lease
Agreement dated November 19, 1974 wherein the City has ]eased the
property. It is my further understanding that the property has been
used by the City for many years with the condition that it be mowad
at City expense.
An examination of•the apprafsels reveals that one appraii;;er,
Mr. Means, has made a separate appraisal of the properly subject to
acquisition, while the other appraiser, Mr. Willits, has treated the
property as part of a larger tract. It is not my intcnit to rlisr..ur.s iho
merits of this difference or indicate which apprakscer is using the cor-
rect approach to the problem, but rather to point out to yon that the
difference does exist.
It is my opinion that both appraisals are fal.ally defoctive for
another reason. The appraisers have both considered the value based
upon its present zoning (R-2). In fact all of the "comparable" sales j
used had,the same or more restrictive zoning. It is apparent that the
appraisers were not properly instructed on the law prior to the time
that !Iiese appraisals were made and it is my opinion that neill'Icr ap-
praisal has any value whatever in determining the fair market. valve
of the property in quesUon.

You are referred to the case of Business Ventures, Inc. v. Iowa
Citv. Iowa (October 15, 1975) 234 NW2d 376, holding that where the
same entity is both the zoning and condemning authority, the zoning
ordinance may be attacked collaterally in determining the highest and
best use of the property and in that case the jury was permitted to con-
sider t^e highest and best use of the property without regard to zoning.
Under the facts submitted to me showing the use and desirability of
this property in the past years as far as park purposes are concerned
and considering the lease and other factors, I believe that the property
should be appraised at its highest and best use for any purpose that
would not be completely repugnant to the neighborhood. In this par-
ticular area, there are commercial uses as well as multi -family apart.-
ment buildings.
Accordingly, it is my opinion that you should either direct these
two appraisers to change their approach to value pursuant to the above
law, or obtain another appraiser who would be given the proper legal
instructions pertaining to the law prior to the time that the.appraisal
is made.

Dear Ms. Hayek:
As you probably know, the continual flooding of Ralston Creek in Iowa City has been
a big problem, to many residents and one that the City Council and City staff are
anxious to solve. After many months of planning, investigation and ,conferences
with citizen groups, the City of Iowa City has decided to implement a Ralston Creek
Improvements project in eight designated areas of the Ralston Creek Flood Plain.
The projects will be funded through the U.S. Department: of Housing and Urban
Development, Community Development Block Grant program; and will be implemented by
the City of Iowa City Department of Public Works.
Johnson County Courthouse records show that your property at Brown and Lucas Street:
adjacent to Happy Hollow Park is included in one of the improvement areas along
Ralston Creek. This is an official notice that the City of Iowa City would like to
acquire approximately 56,800 square feet or 1.3039 acres on the east side of out
lot; 14 for a stormwater retention pond in the Ralston Creek Improvement project.
Before the City makes an offer to purchase, your property will be re -appraised
to verify a fair market value. In written form the appraiser will i.nvi.tc you or
your designated representative to accompany him when he inspects your property.
Within 90 days of the date of this letter, the City will nakc an offer to you (in
writing) to purchase your property. Please carefully review the enclosed handbook
titled "{When the City of Iowa City Acquires Your Property." It explains how we will
proceed in purchasing your property, in addition to the rights you have availablo
to you in dealing with the City of Iowa City.
If you have any questions, please call Susan Sheets at the Civic Center, phone
354-1800, ext. 314. If you want to retain any fixtures, shrubbery, or othor
improvements on your property, you should contact Ms. Sheets as soon as possible in
o. -der that the transaction can be considered by the review appraiser,

Re: Marjorie B. Hayek
Brown & Lucas Streets
Iowa City, Iowa
Pursuant to your request, I have on March 17, 1977, inspected and appraised
the property located at Brown and Lucas Streets in Iowa City, Iowa. The
purpose of this inspection was to estimate the market value of the fee :ample
interest in this property before and after the acquisition of 54,400 square
feet of land for the expansion of HaLppy Hollow Park.
Market Value is defined as: "The highest price in terms of money which
a property will bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions
requisite to a fair sale; the buyer and seller acting, prudently, knowledge-
ably and without undue stimulus".
After carefully analyzing all of the data presented in this report, it is the
appraiser's opinion that the market value estimates before and after the
taking, as of March 17, 1977, are as follows:
S q'l.,
Market Value Before the Taking r• 500
Market Value After the Taking X91 bp0

This has been an interesting assignment and I would be pleased t.o answer
any questions that you might have.

Re: Hayek City of Iowa City
Dear Don:
Recently I had an opportunity to review your appraisal pertaining to
the Hayek property and I was somewhat surprised to find a statement in the i
_ appraisal to the effect that I had advised you to appraise the property as if
zoned for apartment houses. This _Is_not what I indicated to you and I thought
that it might be of value for me to advise you in writing on the law. I have no
objection whatever to you indicating in your appraisal that you have been
advised in this fashion, but it is not for me, as a lawyer, to determine the
highest and best use of the property.
Accordingly, you are advised that you are to appraise the subject property
at its highest and best use without regard for the zoning ordinances of. the City
provided that such highest and best use is not repugnant to the area in which
the subject property is located.
If you have any further questions about. this, Dori, please fen] froe to
phone me.
Very truly yours,
William L. Meardon

Dear Neal:
ANEA fUDi 319
337.9506
For the past 18 years, Marjorie B. Hayek has been the owner of
real estate in Iowa City described as the Past Half of Out Lot 14. As you
know, this property adjoins lIappy Hollow Playground on the east end of
Brown Street.
For those approximately 18 years, the property owner and the
City have had a mutually beneficial agreement wherein the above described
property was utilized for public parking purposes in support of City Spon-
sored athletic events at the Happy hollow Playground as well as for general
public use of the playground area. Also, as you are aware, the City in
exchange for this public use has provided mowing services and has otherwise
maintained this property.
During the summer of 1976, the property owner made the decision
to plan for the development of Out Lot 14 and, consequently, filed an appli-
cation for rezoning the property from its current duplex zoning to R,-3 multi-
family zoning. Shortly thereafter, the Parks and Recreation Commission
indicated their desire that this property he acquired by the City of Iowa City
as an addition to Ifappy Hollow Playground. On October 12, 1978, as a
result of an unfavorable recommendation from the Iowa City Planning and
Zoning Commission in regard to the rezoning application, the owner requested
the City Clerk to withdraw the rezoning application for the property and the
property owner indicated her intention to proceed with the development of
the property in a fashion consistant with its current R-2 (duplex) zoning.
During the fall of 1976 in furtherance of development of the property,
we commenced a survey. Shortly thereafter, however, it was brought to our
attention that the City was interested in investigating the possibilities of
acquiring this property from the owner. As a result of this, the owner derided
to hold in abeyance any further development of the properly pending a decision
of the City with reference to the possibility of acquisition. It is now our under-
standing that the Iowa City Council has decided not to acquire the East half of
Out Lot 14,
Mr. Neal Berlin, City Manager
June 3, 1977
.Page 2
Consequently, Neal, please accept this letter as the property
owner's notice to the City of [owa City of her desire to terminate the
extension agreement between the owner and the City of Iowa City dated
April 29, 1977, effective ,July 1, 1977. As the owner will no longer be
indemnified by the City of Iowa City after July i, 1977, for property
damage and/or personal injury sustained by any person or persons while
on the property, and as the City will no longer be required to cover damage
or injury to the property resulting from public use thereof after July 1, 1977,
we will be erecting a fence along the property line so that the public will
cease use of the property for parking and other purposes. Of course, we
also understand that upon the termination of the agreement the City shall
no longer have any responsibilities for the maintenance of the property in-
cluding mowing services.
Neal, on behalf of the property owner, I want to express her
satisfaction with the relationship she has had with the City of Iowa City with
respect to the subject property over a period of time that spans nearly 2
decades of public use. Certainly, should the City Council in the near future
decide to make an offer on this property, she will certainly give it every
consideration. It is, however, her feeling that she is the owner of a valuable
piece of Iowa City real estate and that it is now time for its sale or develop-
ment.
truly yours,
C. Peter

SUBJECT: Acquisition Policies tinder the CDBG Program
1. PURPOSE: The purpose of this notice is to explain certain
real property acquisition policies under the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) program which have been the
subject of commonly asked questions. These acquisition
policies are based on the Uniform Relocation Assistance and
Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (Uniform Act)
and HUD implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 42 and the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and imple-
menting regulations at 24 CFR Part 570.
2. APPLICABILITY OF UNIFORM ACT TO GRANTEE ACOUISITIONS OF
REAL PROPERTY The Uniform Act and HUD implementing regu-
lations apply to all real property acquisitions by a grantee
for an assisted CDBG program activity, regardless of the
source of funding for the acquisition itself. At times,
difficulties arise in defining the scope of the "CDBG
activity" determining whether a particular acquisition by a
grantee is subject to the Uniform Act. Although circum-
stances may vary, the following are some general rules for
determining whether the Uniform Act applies to an acqui-
sition:
a. All acquisitions by a grantee or other S
(e.q., a renewal aut oritY) which are fu
assistance are subject to the Uniform Ac
b. If any financial assistance for an activity, such as

Opportunities and Constraints
0
The design of "City Plaza" phase one recognizes future development potential and
existing requirements. When the enclosed shopping mall is built across Clinton
Street to the west, the pedestrian connection will be very important. A second
level walkway could be built for safe access to encourage parking in the new
garage and circulation on foot in the plaza area.
Access to existing stores for deliveries will be accommodated from the all%y with
one or two exceptions. Specific permission for use other than emergency vehicles
should be controlled by Council policy.
Street furniture and plantings are designed to allow a ten foot wide strip along
all store fronts for future lease to store owners for sidewalk cafes, display
windows, basement entrances and other activities to encourage year-round color
and excitement for this public space.
Other future lease spaces are provided within the plaza for small scale retail
establishments such as flower shops, boutiques and other appropriate uses.
The north half of the present street right-of-way at the potential library site
will be treated in a temporary way with grass and trees until the site is develop-
ed for the library or another use. The adjacent area will become a landscape
garden. A drop-off area will be built on Linn Street for the use of library
and plaza patrons.
The children's play area is located near the library site as this is away from
traffic and is centrally convenient.
Another planting area at the south end of Dubuque will allow the possible future
expansion of retail spaces to further delineate the edge of the public area.
Public restrooms could be provided in the library building when it is constructed.
Drawing Two
Site Plan
The enclosed site plan is a refinement of Scheme C which was approved by the City
Council on June 28th. This is an informal scheme utilizing brick and wood to
blend with the existing buildings and the north minipark. Particular features
of the plan are as follows:
Paving - much of the surface from building face to the opposite building face will
be paved with brick in patterns to express the ten foot strip of potential expand-
ed user space along store fronts, to define street furniture areas, and to call
attention to special features such as the focal point area near the center of the
- 1 -
E
Ll
plaza. The base material under the brick will be sufficient to support emergency/
fire vehicles. It would also be possible to remove and replace the brick paving
for repair of utilities if necessary. Some existing brick from the City's stock-
pile will be reused to accent certain areas.
Street Furniture - Benches, litter receptacles, bicycle racks, flagpoles, bollards,
lights, and kiosks have been designed and selected to blend with the brick and wood
theme and to compliment each other.
Garden Area - The area between the proposed library and the proposed hotel is de-
signed as an informal landscape garden with numerous flowering trees and shrubs.
Lighting - A minimum of two footcandles of light is provided throughout the plaza
area. Pedestrian, entrances at Washington, Linn, the south alley, and Clinton, as
well as the central focal point area, are highlighted with twice as much light by
using four luminaires per fixture instead of two as are provided in all other
cases. The lighting is designed to be consistent so that there are neither dark
nor brilliantly lighted areas.
Planting - Most planting areas are large beds retained by heavy wood curbs and
filled with shrubs, groundcover and trees. Shade trees are also used by them-
selves to provide numerous shady areas throughout the plaza. Iron grates and
quards will protect and enhance the individual shade trees. A variety of trees
will be used in each block of the plaza. One type of tree will be used to sur-
round the focal point and add to its separate identity. Flowering trees are
used for seasonal color. Evergreens are used for winter interest and at the
project ends to visually remind approaching drivers that the plaza is no longer
a vehicular area.
Drawing Three
Focal Point
This area has been designed to serve many functions. It is primarily a gathering
place for both formal and informal events. A large musical performance could be
accommodated with the small stage at the center for the conductor and the terraced
planters near Plaza Centre One for the musicians. Street musicians could use the
stage as well as politicians, demonstrators of arts and crafts and others. A
colorful tent or covering could be placed over the square to provide for a variety
of uses. It would be possible to retain water in the square area for ice skating
in the winter. If additional funds are made available, a water display could be
created so that streams of water would spray out of the bollards around the peri-
meter toward the center. The water feature could be programmed to run at certain
hours of the day or it could be turned on and off manually.
A children's play area is located to the east of the focal point. Built of heavy
timber, it sits on a thick bed of sand and pea gravel to receive tumbling and
jumping children. Also provided is a large decorative chess or checker surface
with 2 foot squares to be used with big chess or checker pieces checked out from
the library.

Design Details
A. Kiosk - Custom item
- Cylindrical wood base with square, peaked roof.
- Wood/fiberglass construction.
- Holds regular and handicapped -height telephones, drinking fountains,
mailbox, newspaper rack and space for posting notices.
- Lighted from roof with luminaries similar to those on poles.
- Used at three entrances to plaza to provide services and shelter from
rain and sun near bus stops.
- This function to be provided by future library at east end of plaza.
B. Litter Receptacle
- Standard item
- Wooden cylinder on fiberglass frame with removable liner. Top swings
away for emptying.
- Used at several locations throughout plaza to provide easy access.
Site Preparation
A number of activities must be coordinated and accomplished in order to make it
possible to proceed with the plaza surface improvements.
A. Utilities
- A construction contract has been awarded to replace the existing sanitary
and storm sewer systems.
- Iowa -Illinois Co. is relocating existing gas lines and electrical conduits
and will extend services as necessary.
- NWB Telephone Co. has relocated some equipment and will extend services
as necessary.
- City watermains will remain unchanged except for possible relocation in
the future library area of College Street. Services will be extended
as necessary.

B. Demolition
- Removal of street surface and sidewalk areas as necessary to prepare
for replacement with new brick paving.
- Scheduling of removal and replacement to provide access to adjacent
business properties as continuously as possible.
C. Sidewalk Vaults
- Coordination with property owners and tenants for saving or filling
undersidewalk vault spaces as determined by City policy.
- Information to -date indicates vault spaces to be saved at Jefferson
Building, Four Seasons and Apple Tree; spaces to be filled at Rosheks,
Osco, Crazy Top Shop and Music Shop.
D. Grading/Drainage
- New grading for plaza area will match existing levels at building
fronts
- Adequate base material will be provided under brick paving to support
emergency vehicles in fire lane.
- Surface drainage will follow existing street slopes and be collected
at intervals into storm drain system.
Operation and Maintenance
It is assumed that operation and maintenance will be the responsibility of the
City Parks and Recreation Department. Several discussions have been held with
Dennis Showalter to arrive at estimated costs.
Of the total 100,000 s.f. in the project area, approximately 30% along the edges
is allocated for use by the abutting property owners should they choose to use it.
Presumably, they would "maintain" the 10 foot wide strip adjacent to the buildings.
The decision is not critical because the surfaces are 100% paved, requiring little
care other than periodic cleaning.
We estimate the annual maintenance costs to range between $25,000 - $35,000 a
year. This includes energy and pole maintenance, lamp replacement costs for
lighting and snow removal costs for the fire lane, for an average winter of two
major storms and 5 to 10 minor storms.
The overall figure we mention includes materials such as fertilizers, sprays,
trash bags and the like, but does not include repair and replacement costs for
equipment used on the job. We are not familiar with the accounting methods used
by the City, and for the same reason we do not include administrative or over-
head costs.
A. Manpower
We estimate 2 to 3 men full-time equivalency. In winter months, the manpower
needs may be reduced by about one-third or one-half. "Full-time" in our view
means normal eight-hour shift during daylight hours.

B. Tasks
Necessary grass, tree and shrub care. Daily litter removal. Periodic
sweeping and/or washing of pavements. Annual refurbishing of street
furniture, relamping and pole maintenance. and checking of manual
irrigation system.
C. Irrigation System
A manually operated watering system is proposed which will provide
water to all trees and planting areas as necessary without using
movable hoses. The system would be drained for the winter months to
prevent freezing.
