City Atty. Hayek stated that he would have the memo on conflict of
interest in connection with the urban renewal proj. in a couple weeks.
He informed Council that 9/13 would be the last date the City could
advise the bonding atty. about selling bonds for the police facility,
and 9/29 is the cutoff date to place the bond issue question on the 11/8

Information on mushrooms, as requested by a citizen, can be obtained
from the Botany Dept. at the University, Jdhnson Co. Health Dept. or the
Extension Serv. Plastino will check on hours the street sweeper is
working downtown. It was pointed out that in answer to the comments of
a majority of people in the Peoples Guide & Survey who requested rest -
rooms downtown, that provisions will be made in the Parking Ramp, the
Sr. Citizens Center and the Library for public restrooms. Kucharzak
explained the distribution of the newsletter "The Building Line", which
will provide information for all building and real estate people.
Plastino reported that legal descriptions are being written for right-
of-way of Scott Blvd., and they will be approaching property owners
about giving the land to the City.
Plastino also commented on the scheduling of repair of bridges. A
consultant's report will advise replacement of the Court/Muscatine
bridge (on bus -route) which will use the $275,000 budgeted this year.
He suggested that Council might want to do Governor St. Bridge immediately,
and budget additional money in FY79 for Court/Muscatine.
Councilman Balmer called attention to the letter from City Atty.
Hayek relative to his question as to whether or not the City could
purchase plumbing supplies directly from Plumbers Supply Co., in which
he has an ownership interest. The legal staff has concluded that there
was a conflict of interest. In the future Iowa City will have to buy
from individual plumbing concerns, or use the sealed bid method. Council
commended Councilman Balmer for bringing the matter up.
It was pointed out that Wilbert Frantz had advised that he had con-
siderable land down by Sycamore St. that he would sell for less that the
figure given for purchase of the Showers' property. The City has entered
into an option for Showers and would lose $5,000 if they did not exercise
it. Mr. Frantz will be asked to make the City a proposal.

City from E -J Corp. (Howard Johnsons) on N. Dodge for approval of use of
