Comments on the proposed Amendment to the Cpaign Finance Ordi-
nance for Ballot Issues
9/27/77
On August 17, the City Manager issued a negative opinion on
the desirability of including ballot measures - such as the
Landlord-Tenant initiative - under the City's campaign finance
disclosure laws.
I would like to review Mr. Berlin's observations on this
question, and to argue in favor of a disclosure requirement for
ballot issues.
According to Mr. Berlin:
"The governmental interest in disclosure is to provide the
electorate with information as to where political campaign money
comes from and how it is spent by the candidate in order to aid
the voters to evaluate those who seek public office. It allows
voters to place each canididate in the political spectrum more
precisely than is often possible solely on the basis of party
labels and campaign speeches. Disclosure requirements also deter
-
actual corruption and avoid the appearance or corruption. This
interest is not present with a ballot issue."
But disclosure requirements for ballot measures do deter a
heavy reliance upon the use of money (i.e., purchase of publi-
city and media time) to determine the outcome of an election,
rather than relying upon citizen effort and debate to promote
or defeat an ordinance.
The use of big money in an initiative or referendum campaign
can seriously undermine the ability of Iowa City's people to ex-
press their considered opinion on an important issue such as the
Landlord-Tenant Ordinance. A pattern of defeats in similar ini-
tiatives across the country is very disturbing. In local and
state initiatives on nuclear energy, recycling, and other issues,
heavy spending late in the initiative campaign has turned major-
ity support into defeat at the polls.
In such cases, big money is used to overwhelm weeks or months
-of public education. It is simply not possible to refute an emo-
tional or distorted argument that stares at every voter over his
coffee, or has her earcon the way to work.
Iowa PIRG is currently attempting to organize a debate between
the proponents and opponents of the Landlord-Tenant Ordinance.
Debate, educational mailings, and public discussion are all import-
iYc

ant. Media blitzes are, I think, less appropriate in a process
which is intended to enhance democratic decision-making. And
while a disclosure requirement would not prevent such campaigns,
it would allow public opinion to more effectively judge the pro-
priety of them, by requiring disclosure of the sums expended.
Where disclosure in 'candidates' campaigns aids the voters
in evaluating those who seek public office, a disclosure re-
quirement for ballot issues would aid voters in recognizing who
stands to gain from the passage or defeat of an ordinance. It
would be most educational, for example, if large landlords and
real estate speculators contributed to the campaign to defeat
the Landlord -Tenant Ordinance, while small landlords did not.
I am not saying that this is going to be the case --but isn't
such information relevant to an assessment of a ballot issue?
I have spoken with the director of Initiative America, a
national non-profit organization which promotes and assists the
use of ballot measures. According to Mr. Roger Telschow, all
23 states which currently have intitiative and referendum pro-
cedures also have reporting requirements for expenditures over
a certain amount. Mr. Berlin stated that regulation of cam-
paign finances would be more difficult for ballot measures,
due to the likelihood that several organizations would be work-
ing for and against a given measure. However, the City could
require disclosure only for organizations which spend over a
certain amount of money, or make a certain level of in-kind
contributions. With a realistic level (say, $100'or more),
the City could limit reporting requirements to the major pro-
ponents and opponents of a measure. Typically, according to
Mr. Telschow, there are one or two chief sponsors or opponents
of a measure.
What about enforcement? It is, of course,.not possible for
the City Attorney to investigate all organizations working for
or against a ballot measure. Nor is it clear to me what punish-
ment would be attached to violation of the law. But I believe
that enforcement would come largely from outside the City.
We can expect advocates on either side of a ballot measure
to police the law, and public opinion to be the final judge.
Existence of the disclosure requirement will usually be suf-
ficient to induce filing of campaign finance reports. If
money or services are contributed and not reported, citizens
may inform the City Attorney and request an investigation. If
an individual or organization has indeed failed to report, then
publicity may influence public opinion on the ballot issue.
of course, minor violations are not the important question.
But a campaign disclosure law would help to ensure that a big
money approach to ballot measures would be revealed for what it
was.
In light of the importance of public opinion in enforcing
this law, and the relevance of financial information upon pub-
lic opinion, I would suggest that disclosure statements be re-
quired fifteen days and five days prior to any election on a
ballot issue, as well as thirty days following the final election.
Mr. Telschow also informs me that the Ohio, California, and
Washington state disclosure requirements are good model laws,
which the City might wish to follow.
I do not know whether existing state disclosure laws cover
ballot issues. Even if they do, I understand that the state
commission charged with enforcement of the laws is seriously
understaffed and barely able to effectively enforce candidates'
disclosure requirements. The Attorney General is far away, and
slow to respond. If the Council wishes to rely upon existing
state law, I urge you to at.least pass a resolutibn of intent to
have the City Attorney investigate violations of the state law,
or to make arrangements with the County for rapid investigation
by the County Attorney.
The citizens.of Iowa City deserve to know who is paying how
much to see that a policy is adopted or defeated by the electo-
rate. Without action by the City Council, our right to know
is stymied when it comes to ballot measures. I urge your imme-
diate action upon a campaign finance disclosure requirement or
resolution of intent.
�j Some Economic Consnces •
Proposed Landlord -Ment Ordinance
Iowa City, Iowa September 27, 1977
A Statement
By Robert Hibbs, 606 Reno Street
Chairman, Iowa City Housing Commission
First, please let me make it quite clear that this is a personal state-
ment and does not necessarily represent the view of the Housing Commis-
sion. I make it this evening as the result of comments I made at the
Informal Council meeting this past Friday afternoon. Following that
meeting, two members of the Council said they would appreciate any
amplification that might be available concerning economic impacts of
the proposed landlord -tenant ordinance. I have had no opportunity to
discuss this matter with the Commission since Friday, nor with any col-
leagues. So, again, let me state that these views are my own, for I have
no one else on whom to blame them.
I believe it right that I state my bias up front, although I shall make
every effort to keep this statement as fair as I am able. I am the
president, and a part owner, of a small local real estate investment
company. I am not a realtor; I do not buy or sell real estate except as
it is incidental to the management of my companyss own portfolio. We do
have investments in local multifamily housing, as well as in commercial
property. Our investments are not limited to Iowa City, but also include
properties in Coralvillo Oskaloosa and Davenport. Thus, if you must
classify me, color me "landlord;" although I have spent most of my nearly
20 years in Iowa City as a tenant, including residence on -campus in both
dormitory and married -student housing, and off -campus in an apartment
complex, in a rented duplex, and now in an owner -occupied one -family home.
Consequently, I believa my experience in the local housing market is
fairly rounded, both in place of domicile and in experience with access
to various elements of the commercial market.
That said, I see two principal areas of concern regarding economic impact
of the proposed landlord -tenant ordinance -- one with the production of
new multifamily housing in the community, the other concerning the level
of future rent structures. They are interrelated, but I prefer to deal
with them separately here.
First, the production of new housing.
It is my view that adoption of the proposed landlord -tenant ordinance
will retard -- that is, slow down -- the production of new multifamily
housing, and will tend to concentrate ownership in fewer and fewer hands
of larger and larger landlords. In a market such as that in Iowa City,
reduced production of new housing poses a consequence of some concern.
The concentration of any resource in a few hands has inherent dangers
which are probably obvious to all.
These two results will flow from a function of the financial market,
made up of individuala, banks, savings and loans, insurance companies,
pension trusts, or what have you. If the proposed ordinance is adopted,
these prospective lenders are going to know very well that in Iowa City
there are snags in a local ordinance that pose additional risk beyond
that posed in, say, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Tipton, or Coralville.
Those risks come in the form of provisions for rent withholding, or
"repair ane deduct," and, more seriously, in the provision for city
receivership.
37V.3
Page 20 A Statement* Robert Hibbs, September V 1977
Now, I'm certain, the proponents of this ordinance would point out very
quickly that those risks are probably very remote; and, I grant that they
probably are. But, it is fact that lenders examine with some degree of
care the ability of the borrower to repay the loan under whatever adverse
circumstances that may present themselves; first, in whether to make the
loan at all, and, secondly, at what interest rate. I don't claim for one
minute that these provisions would result in a heavy red line around Iowa
City with no loans made in the city. Rather, I submit that Iowa City
would bear a red flag for lenders, with preference given to those generally
larger landlords with proven ability to deal in the market and with a
sufficient "outsids" net worth for the lender to 1rasp in case of short
falls in income from a particular project in the 'unlikely" event of
continued rent withholding, or city receivership. The small landlord
with little net worth and without demonstrated ability to deal with the
market would become a questionable risk, even more -so than today.
And, I submit that for those loans made, the lender will be taking a
slightly greater risk, and consequently will demand a slightly higher
interest rete, say, on the order of one-hs.lf point. If this is correct,
and I suggest strongly that it is in a market which bases interest rates
on the perception of risks, then the result is increased interest costs
on the order of $b to $7 per month for the current "average" apartment
unit costing $17,500 to build.
This, then, brings us quite naturally to a concern about the effect of
the proposed ordinance on future rent structures.
The proponents state, and I fear accurately so, that rents are going to
rise regardless of whether this ordinance is adopted. This assumes
continuing inflation, and this, I'm afraid, is a logical assumption.
However, as I address this question, I'm referring to rent increases
beyond -- that is, in addition to -- whatever any underlying inflation
rate creates.
Just a moment ago, I mentioned a $b to $7 monthly rent increase based
solely on an increased cost of financing. I believe this to be a fair
reflection of anticipated lenders' views of increased risk growing from
this ordinance. There are other costs that will rise for the landlord;
some of which are easier to quantify than others.
Take, for example, the disputed city administrative costs. Let's assume
for the moment that the Cityls Rousing Director is just dead wrong in
his cost estimates, as the supporters of this ordinance claim, and that
actual costs turn out to be "only" $35,000 annually, as the proponents
claim. The proponents have suggested that this cost would be borne by
property taxes, and thus would be an insignificant increment for every-
one. I submit that at a time when the City is bumping its head against
the state -imposed ceiling on property taxes, and searching for alterna-
tive sources of revenue such as a fee for such basic services as garbage
collection, the City will pass along all, or at least most, of the added
administrative cost in the form of foes for inspections, which the land-
lord will pay, but in turn will pass them along in higher rents. On the
budget the proponents claim, this will result in a rent increase of 40 to
50 cents each month. On the other hand, if the Housing Director is more
nearly correct -- and I personally suspect he is -- the rent increase will
be nearer $1 each month.
Page 31 A Statemen t Robert ftibbs, September 0, 1977
ThatTs a minor cost, you say, and well worth it. In an age when budgets
frequently are quoted in millions or billions of dollars, these small
costs frequently are viewed just that way. My point is, they do exist,
and worse, they are cumulative. A little cost here, a little cost there,
and suddenly when the cost begins to comp out of an individual's pocket
directly, it is important; not so much as to spell a clear-cut "yes" or
"no" for this ordinance, but as a factor that must be weighed during its
consideration.
Rent increases resulting from added financing and administration costs,
yes; but, perhaps the most significant increase, I believe, will result
from maintenance costs. Unfortunately, this is an area which is most
difficult -- if not impossible -- to quantify ahead of the fact. Now,
I'm sure, the proponents would point out very quickly that their aim in
this ordinance sre the relatively few "unscrupulous" landlords who are
already charging market rents without meeting standards or making needed
repairs. That's a desirable aim, and I have no argument with it. But,
I submit that although this ordinance may affect the unscrupulous land-
lord the most, it will affect every single landlord in the housing market,
both now and in the future.
The stated aim of this ordinance is comprehensive, uniform enforcement
of minimum standards. I'm certain that almost all of us readily agree
that such is a desirable goal. But, in our zeal to pursue that goal,
let's be somewhat cautious of our own and others' pocketbooks. I have
a personal goal of wanting to walk the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, to
examine first-hand the artifacts in the museums in Cairo, and to explore
the Great Pyramid of Cheops. But, I have to admit that to date, consider-
ation of my own pocketbook has limited my persuit of that goal to trips
to local libraries and an auto trip to Chicago. Although the parallel
may not be absolute, I fear that the reality of incroased rents --
increment by increment -- will result, within five years and a new
generation of students at the University, in loud cries for rent controls,
the ultimate disservice to everyone in the effected housing market.
But, what about maintenance costs resulting from this ordinance, you ask?
Ok, I111 provide some estimates, and I'll admit up top that they are only
guesses based upon my own experience, however limited and inadequate that
experience may be. Although I shall use some figures, they should not be
viewed as absolute quantification, but rather as an insight to what I
believe is the logical conclusion that maintenance costs -- and consequent-
ly, rents -- will rise by some significant amount.
To begin with, I don't believe anyone will dispute the general statement
that with the stated aim of this ordinance being to improve both quantity
and quality of maintenance services that maintenance costs will rise. I
submit that there is not a single housing unit in Iowa City in which the
Senior Rousing Inspector can't find some violation, be it major or minor.
And, the day after the vitiations he has found have all be corrected,
I'l.l bot that any one of the other inspectors could enter that unit and
find come violation. My point here is that we are dealing with a dynamic
aituationy it won't be static. Hith time, both minimum standards and
inspectors will change. Inspectors are individuals, units will appear
differently to each of them. As a consequence of this dynamic process,
with every inspection, the landlord will be faced with a list of mandatory
repairs, be it a short list or a long one. The maintenance crew, or the
cnontraglor, will h ve t� mato the corrections, This may very well be
an ra e, but t �a go ng o coat money.
Page 40 A Statemen W
Robert Hibbs, Septemberf, 1977
It is my best estimate that for a 100 -unit complex, including training
and communication time, that the annual routine inspections will result
in four to five weeks of time for a maintenance man to complete. Assuming
wages are one-half the total cost of repairs, as is a fairly usual rule
of thumb, and assuming a $12,000 annual salary, then four weeks of wages,
plus materials, results in a cost of $2,000. Dividing this over 100
units and over 3.2 monthly rent payments, it adds roughly $2 monthly to
the rent bill. For those units nearer the minimum standard, the increase
would be greater, perhaps considerably greater, while for those units
further above the standard, it may be less. The very real effect here,
I believe, will be a tendency to eliminate -- through increased rents --
that portion of the current market which might be said to have the most
"reasonable" rents.
In addition, there will be a considerably -increased amount of inspections
based on individual complaints on specific units. Even if these inspec-
tions result in onl a few hours a month, with materials this could
easily add another 41 per unit to monthly rents.
Furthermore, there still are other cost factors to be considered. For
example, under provisions of the ordinance there are circumstances where
vacancies through an entire building cantt be filled during any period
where a single unit in that building is "down" under rent withholding.
This is a potential cost that no owner is ultimately going to overlook.
It is the nature of the real world, that when people take risks in any
business they expect to be compensated for them. Owners will provide
for this possible expense, and others.
The end result, as I said a few moments ago, is the ole cumulative
effect of a small increment here, and a small increment there. If you
add up just what I have covered specifically here, you will find costs
that will, in time, add $10 or more each month to the rent bills for
each and every unit in this community. It is quite possible that these
costs are reasonable, even desirable. But, as you consider this
ordinance, lntow very well that it will increase the already high rent
structure in Iowa City.
In closing, please allow me to observe that the housing market in any
community is a large and complex machine, involving not only owners and
tenants, but also lenders, builders, suppliers, contractors, and others.
Some things affect it in an obvious way, others more subtly. This
ordinance does tamper with the local housing machinery. Some effects are
obvious, other effects result more subtly and makes it necessary for one
to look below the surface to examine them. They are there, and I urge
all to consider them.
Thank you.
