December 12, 1977

bus service from Hugh Mose, Transit Mgr. Ibis would allow Saturday service
to Hawkeye Apts, by extension of West Benton route, and would allow free
elderly and handicapped service in the evening, starting at 6:30 P.M.
STREET
Councilman Foster suggested that the Street Division be commended on the good
job they had done these last couple weeks in snow removal, etc. Other
Councilmembers agreed.
Steve Shelton and John Daniels, representing Iowa -Ill. Gas f, Electricland
Mike Johnston, representing Northwestern Bell Telephone1were present for the
discussion. Daniels noted objections to placing of switching gear underground.
The unit would be four foot high, W x5h', Both sets of gear could be install-
ed in Blocks 83/84. Transformer locations can be set later. Some of the
individual entrances might have to be overhead, and the Ord, should be drafted
to reflect this. Several agreed that 90 days was not enough time to remove
above -ground utility installation and replace with under -ground installation.
Glaves advised that if there are technical problems getting into a building underground,
common sense should be used, and the exemption language would be looked at,
to give the Engineer exceptions for exemptions.

EBENEZER SOCIETY
City Manager Neal Berlin introduced the representatives of the Ebenezer
Society, Dick Hanson, Larry Conrad and Kathy Eide, and called attention to
the written material as presented, commenting that if the concept meets with
Council's approval, they would like a verbal approval. The only Staff concern
was with the way the Advisory Group is put together.
Conrad stated that the proposed project might be able to be developed into
a demonstration project. There will be a tremendous problem in co-ordination
with HUD, a Community controlled facility and a City controlled facility.
He presented an expanded chart showing the make-up of the Task Force. The
Council and the Ecumenical Housing Comm. Board will form a Joint Project Task
Force. The Iowa City Staff, the Housing Commission, and various specialists
will form a Joint Project Specialist Team. By Dec. 16th, the Ebenezer
Society could have a total inventory of programs recommended for the project.
Eide will coordinate the JPTF Fi the JPST. Iowa City staff person coordinating
will be Julie Vann.
After discussion, Council agreed to a Task Force composition as follows: 2
appointments from Council, 2 appointments from Ecumenical Housing and 3
appointments from citizens -at -large who have expressed an interest in the
project by applying on the regular Board F, Commission application form.
One of the first tasks will be the selection of an architect, as the sketches
will be submitted to HUD in February. B.S. recommended a common architect
for the two projects.
Robert Welsh advised that the Ecumenical Housing Corp was composed of twelve
congregations, and presented written material concerning the group. The
Ebenezer Society pointed out that they had excellent contacts in Washington.
Councilmembers Max Selzer and Bob Vevera were asked to serve as Council's
representatives on the Task Force, and they agreed to serve. The City Manager
stated that, from the Staff's standpoint, they were in favor of this proposal
from the Ebenezer Society as they have a real understanding of the needs of
elderly and the special issues involved. The City and the Ecumenical Housing
group will each have a contract with the Ebenezer Society, spelling out their
responsibilities with each body.

shelter will not be ready by next winter if it is proposed for inside of the
