February 22, 1978 time you spent with Doris Bridgeman 8th, regarding the senior center to Old Post Office building. At that concerns about planning, programming the facility, and you requested a would state ways in which our agency Since the City Council recognizes Council on Aging as the official agency in Iowa City to coordinate senior citizen services, we feel that the Council on Aging should play a major role in the programming and admin- istration of this center. The Council on Aging would like to be involved in the following roles. A. We would like to see representatives from this agency and other organizations, serv- ing the elderly exclusively, namely American Association of Retired Persons, Congregate Meals, S.E.A.T.S., and National Association of Retired Federal Employees, to participate in the planning sessions with the architect. B. We would like to have a Board of Directors as a governing body or policy making body established very soon. The majority, (at least 518), of this board, should be made up of consumer constituency representing the five organizations, and particularly, individuals from "grass root level".

The Johnson County Council on Aging would like to be involved in setting standards and qualifications for all employees, especially the Director. As previously recommended in a copy enclosed to you, the Council on Aging would like to have a voice in the hiring of a director. We already established a satisfactory relationship with Heritage Agency on Aging, Area X, and the Council on Aging is presently sub -contracting federal funds for programs, such as Information and Referral, Health Services. Also, we have a working relationship estab- lished with the University of Iowa Gerontology Planning Committee; Johnson County Board of Supervisors and United Way support and fund this agency. One of the goals of the Council on Aging is advocacy for the elderly. Therefore, we are very anxious that the senior center be a cooperative effort by the City and the senior citizens of the community, with the Council on Aging forming the link between the two.

Gilbert Street Iowa City, IA 52240 Re: Letter from Rock to Neal Berlin 2-22-78 Dear Ms. Rock: - In response to your letter of February 22, 1978, I would like to address the following three issues: the process for citizen input to the architect; the establishment of a board of directors for the Senior Center; and the process through which the Senior Center staff will be hired. In your letter you suggested that agencies to be located in the Senior Center (AARP, Congregate Meals, SEATS, NARFE), should work directly with the architect to plan the Senior Center facility. As you probably realize, the established process does involve agencies. The process follows: 1) Questionnaire completed by all current providers of services - December, 1977 (specifying space requirements and special design features needed, if located to the Senior Center). 2) Preliminary programming proposals (drafted based on senior citizen surveys and agency information) reviewed by the task force March 1 and the City Council and Ecumenical Housing Corporation March 15 and 16. 3) Space allocation plan drafted for presentation to the architects, April 15 (combining information from numbers 1 and 2 above.) 4) Architect to review space allocation plan and sketch potential floor plan arrangements to accomodate all required rooms, May and June, 1978 (of course, if further information is needed about the Congregate Meals program or other programs, the appropriate committee or agency will be contacted to discuss space requirements). 5) The floor plans will be available for citizens', City, and others' review during August, 1978. �.. f: i- 41CROFI MED BY JORM MIC Rd•LAB ft-Mll I±Aa 1iy • 'q5 MOINFi !•I!L kUF 161LD BY JORM 141CROLAB -2- LEDAk RAPIDS AND ULS NuiliL� Unr. The second issue you addressed was the establishment of a board of directors for the Senior Center at this time. The management of the Senior Center has not yet been defined. Although there will most likely be a Senior Center Board of Directors, I do not think it is wise to organize the board without having tentatively esta- blished the board's goal and relationship to the City Council, program directors, (SEATS, Congregate Meals, Council on Aging, Ecumenical Housing Corporation, Joint Project Task Force, Council of Elders, the Senior Center Executive Director, etc). I know the Council of Elders is being formed. If your concern is "grass root" involvement, possibly this committee will meet the need. If the Council of Elders is to carry clout in the development of the Senior Center, I would recommend that goals and objectives be established soon. This will clarify the relationship of your group to the joint project task force and to the City Council. The thirdissue that you addressed was that of hiring the Senior Center staff. Any recommendations that you might have on the development of job descriptions will be appreciated at this time, but until the funding source and management procedures are established, I feel that it is too soon to establish the actual hiring procedure. Based on the funding source (local, state or federal), the actual hiring procedures will have to comply with the source's regulations. It is our hope that the Senior Center employees will be hired in an efficient and effective manner, but since this process is still a year away, I feel it is too soon to determine what the actual process will include. I would again like to emphasize that any suggestions you might have for the employees' qualifications, requirements and duties will be appreciated and used as the job descriptions are developed. i If you have any additional questions, please feel free to call.

Franchises — Section 364.2(4), Code of Iowa, 1977. A city need not grant a franchise for cable T.V. even though the voters approved same at an election. Where more than one company has received a majority vote at separate elections the city may grant a franchise to only one. If a company is named on the ballot, and receives a majority of the votes, a city may not grant the franchise to another company. (Blumberg to Schroeder, State Representative, 3-31-78) #78-3-18 March 31, 1978 The Honorable Laverne W. Schroeder State Representative L O C A L Dear Representative Schroeder: we have your opinion request of March 28, 1978, regarding a Cable T.V. franchise. You stated in your letter: "The City of Council Bluffs is preparing for an election concerning a franchise for cable TV. I would like an opinion as to whether or not the city would be required to issue a franchise to two or more cable TV companies if the voters elect more than one company. "Also, if a company receives a majority of the votes, is the city council re- quired or mandated to.issue a franchise to said company or could the city council still issue a franchise to another company to whom it felt presented a better pro- posal to such city." Section 364.2(4), 1977 Code, provides: "a. A city may grant to any person a franchise to erect, maintain, and operate plants and systems for electric light and 75,6 `SI141CROFILMED 6Y 1 DORM MICF?#LAB �•Fp�it R3�f?`^F5'401HF5 Mlb& ILMLD BY JORM MICROLAB Representative Schroeder CEDAR RAPIDS AND DLS MUPIL- power, heating, telephone, telegraph, cable television, district telegraph and alarm, motor bus, trolley bus, street railway or other public transit, water- works, or gasworks, within the city for a term of not more than twenty-five years. The franchise may be granted, amended, extended, or renewed only by an ordinance, but no exclusive franchise shall be granted, amended, extended, or renewed. "b. No such ordinance shall become effective unless approved at an election. The proposal may be submitted by the council on its own motion to the voters at any city election. Upon receipt of a valid petition as defined in section 362.4 requesting that a proposal be submitted to the voters, the council shall submit the proposal at the next regular city election or at a special election called for that purpose prior to the next regular city election. If a majority of those voting approves the proposal the city may proceed as proposed. "c. Notice.of the election shall be given by publication as prescribed in section 49.53 in a newspaper of general circulation in the city. "d. The person asking for the granting, amending, extension, or renewal of a fran- chise shall pay the costs incurred in holding the election, including the costs of the notice. A franchise shall not be finally effective until an acceptance in writing has been filed with the council and payment of the costs has been made. "e. The franchise ordinance may regulate the conditions required and the manner of use of the streets and public grounds of the city, and it may, for the purpose of providing electrical, gas, heating, or water service, confer the power to appropriate and condemn private property upon the person franchised." •�ILRofwiED RY i JORM MICR+LAB MIAP !rAV!DC . ^.ft MOM! "S i Uvin Page 2 I- 1•II6RUFILMEU BY JORM 141CROLAB LEUAk RAPIDS AND ULS luilil= ua„ Representative Schroeder Page 3 There can be no doubt that prior to granting a franchise for cable T.V. a municipality must conduct an election on the question. However, this section does not speak to the granting of the franchise after the election. lie assume from your questions that the companies desirous of getting the franchise are named on the ballot. The city could present the question of separate com- panies in two forms. One ballot could name the various companies with the voters choosing the one they want, assuming they want a franchise granted. Or, the city could hold separate elections for each company. In the first instance, assuming the voters favor a franchise, there would be only one winner. In the second, however, the voters could favorably vote for more than one. This can occur because only a bare majority of those voting is necessary. Interstate P. Co. V. Forest City, 225 Iowa 490, 281 N.W. 207; Abbot V. Iowa City, 224 Iowa 698, 277 N.W. 437; 1911-3.2 O.A.G. 578. An affirmative vote authorizes the council. to act but does not require it to act. Baird v. City of D7ebster CitX, 256 Iowa 1097, 1114, 130 N.W. 2d 932; Iowa Public Service Co. V. Tourgee, 208 Iowa 36, 222 N.W. 882. Section 364.2(4 (b) further points this out when it provides that if a majority of the voters approves the franchise proposal "the city m� proceed as proposed." [Emphasis added). The word "may" is emphasized because it is not a word normally used to indicate a mandatory function. What this means is that even though the voters approve a franchise, the city need not grant a franchise. Thus, in . answer to your first question, if the voters approve different franchises the city has discretion on the granting of the franchises. It may grant to both, grant to none or grant to only one. While still assuming that the company will be named on the ballot, we respond to your second question. Generally, where a statute requires an election on the granting of franchises to companies the ratification by the voters is a condition precedent to the right of such companies to be granted the franchise. 64 C.J.S., Municipal Corporations 91730 (1950). Thus, it can be said that although where. thy. voters specifically approve one company, the ciLy need nol: grant a franchise, where it does grant a frnnr;hi.sc it must be to the company named on the ballot. Otherwise, the clocL•i.on would constitute a useless act. 141CRU1ILMGD BY 1 JORM MICR+LAB I1IU1ZOFILi4ED BY JORM h11CROLAB CEDAk RAPIDS AMU UES 11UiliLi, IU+r, Representative Schroeder Page 4 Accordingly, we are of the opinion that a city need not grant a franchise for Cable T.V. even though the voters approve it; and, where more than one company receives a majority vote in separate elections the city can decide which company, if any, to grant the franchise. If a company is named on the ballot and receives a majority of the vote, the city may not grant the franchise to another company not named on any ballot.

City Attorney o V RE: Comprehensive Plan I have discussed with Community Development the problem of creating excessive nonconforming uses if all general land use classifications are literally applied. We suggest that the following paragraph be added as the first full paragraph on page 82 of the Comprehensive Plan. The fact that the Map shows only generalized land uses means that it will not reflect small areas which may be zoned to a different use classification. While the Land Use Map depicts the long-term goals for development within the City, the zoning must consider the reason- ableness of a classification as applied to particular properties. The decision to make a building nonconforming must balance the public good against the harm to the individual property owner. Where the value of the building is such that the harm to the property owner would outweigh the benefit to the public, an area may be initially zoned to allow an existing use although it may be inconsistent with the general development goals of the area. 758 MICROFILM BY , JORM MICROLAB rFOnu ,a^:Y Iloi-iis MIOWFILIIED BY JORM 141CROLAB CEDAR RAPIJS AND uL A c «L7 MOW ILMID BY I JORM MICR+LA6 CFDAG PINT • ':fti NO I'lF5 DATE: April 14, 1978 TO: City Council FROM: Dennis R.

Within a few days after that, the City Engineer will hold a pre -construction conference with the contractor to line out the schedule for the work, details of work, etc. Within a week or two after that, a meeting will be held with merchants in the College/Dubuque area. The most immediate concern is temporary lighting. As soon as the contractor is selected by Council we will coordinate with the contractor so that we can install some temporary lighting on wooden poles in the mall area. We will try to place these poles in areas that will be planting areas in the future so that the contractor can work around them with the least possible interruption. Throughout this job there will be many times when you and the City will need to work very closely to minimize inconvenience to your business operations. We encourage you to contact either the Public Works Director or the City Engineer at any time throughout this job so that we may minimize the inconvenience to your business operations as much as possible.

Munici- palities are placed in a dilemma with regard to salt usage. During the spring and summer we become determined to use less salt but when the snowfall actually begins to occur, pressure from residents forces us back into a "bare pavement" policy which results in the damage mentioned in the article you attached to your letter. Next winter Public Works will recommend to the Council that we begin using a mixture of salt and sand in place of pure salt. Hopefully, this will provide a level of service that will be accepted by the majority of the drivers in Iowa City while at the same time substantially decreasing salt damage. Thank you for your interest in this subject.

Almost 9 million tons, more than 10 percent of produced in the world, are , annually to American 'i Tho benefits of salt for road de -Icing, and abs costs, are rarely questioned. A recent report of the Euo- . vironmental Protection Agency, which weighed the costs and benefits of the :practice, Included some 41 surprises.• The costs of salting begin with $200 + million for the salt and Its applica- tion. Roadside vegetation destroyed' by salt, particularly sbade trees, was estimated by EPA to add another $50 million. Underground, water maim, telephone cables: and electric, lines are corroded by salt seepage, adding another $10 million In damages Salt finds its way Into drinking. water supplies, especially groundwa- ter aquifers, thereby becoming a health hazard. Recent research Impli- cates salt Intake as a causative factor In hypertension, heart disease. and other circulatory problems, as well as various liver, kidney and metabolic disorders. It Is estimated that at least 20 percent of Americans should restrict salt Intake Individuals can control the salt that is added to foods, but sell In drinking water is harder to massae. About 27 percent of the drinking -water supplies In.Massachusetts are con. laminated with road salt, and New 1 Hampshire has a stale -financed system for replacing salt -contaminat- ed welts., The EPA'mtltnated'that 25 percent .

The elfects of salting are Ilen Inseparable from the effects of 1P "n' L, V! ) h. JORM MICROLAI3 plowing and sanding. A Michigao study found fewer accidents during years when salt was, used but the number of stoma and quantity of snowfall were ignored. Other studies showed so effects on accident rates. Salt usually permits faster driving, which would benefit emergency vehicles but is a mixed blessing for others. In -now, people tend to drive .slowly and have "fender -benders," -but after salt applications they tend ,to drive faster and have more serious accidents. „ The benefits of salt In preventing accidents, If any, are small. Not sur- prisingly, this conclusion is disputed !.by the salt Industry, which claims igreat benefits from its use. An Interesting cost-beacfit analysis results. Whereas benefits are :'uncertain but apparently small (except to the salt and automobile In- dustrles), costs are tremendous. Only a small amount of the cost Is the salt Itself, 93. percent consl►Ung of Indirect costs, borne .especially by owners of motor vehicles. r.. Road salting should be re- examined Reduced salting combined with Increased plowing, Ure modifi. cations and driver education In snow driving might yield better results at lower cost.

Softball leagues will start May 12 and run through approximately August 5. Softball practice under the lights has already begun. 2. Supervised playground in the afternoon and evening from June 12 through August 4. 3. Flag football on Saturday mornings from the first week in September through the last week in October. 4. Central Junior High School has, in the past, used the softball diamond for a six or seven week period in September and October. I intend to eliminate adult softball leagues in happy Hollow Park in 1979. With new diamonds at Napoleon Park and with the ability to play additional games at Mercer Park because of the new lights on diamonds 42 and ;i3, we should be able to accomplish this. We might want to use the diamond for girls' softball starting in 1979. Because of the small (3.5 acres) size of the park, it should eventually revert to neighborhood park status. /ef i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CiI�F It1 P!n�, ^E'.

As you are probably aware, the City has not at anytime in the past provided any skinned diamons for use by the girls in any part of their program. However, Little League has access to six skinned diamonds at City Park and four skinned diamons at Mercer Park. It is my understanding that only one diamond, an unskinned, unmaintained diamond, at Mercer Park has been made available to girls. The inequity of assignment is particularly noteworthy in that the women receive no skinned diamonds to play on and the boys play on no unskinned diamonds. Because of the unavailability of resources girls of comparable age to the boys playing in Babe Ruth League are offered no suitable facilities and a much more restricted opportunity to play ball than are the boys. Last year, the Iowa City Girls' Softball Leagues were forced to turn away over 50 girls who wanted to play because they did not have diamond facilities. All that has been available for them were six badly kept diamonds, one provided by the City and five provided by Southeast Junior Nigh. The girls have also been deprived the opportunity to play the number of games they would like to play. A11 three divisions, the T -Ball Junior and Senior Divisions of Girls' Softball are required to play on four diamonds. The girls have no access to lighted diamonds nor do they have access to any of the diamonds in City Park.

A special thanks to Max Selzer and II.P. Smith Co. for letting us use some of their facilities, it is very much appreciated. C.P.R. Classes are going very well. Our only problem is getting manikens and the film. If it wasn't for Johnson County Ambulance I'm sure we couldn't do 1/3 of what we are. All the instructors deserve a special thanks. The Training Officer and Lt. James Giesking had the privilege of attending the "International Society of Fire Service Instructors". There we met and exchanged ideas with Fire Service Instructors from all over the world, also there were many very interesting seminars taught by personnel from all over the world. I can not express the value of such a conference to anyone involved in the Fire Service, especially instructors. After the trip to Memphis I am still assured that Iowa City has one of the best manned and equipped departments there is. I was also invited to attend the B1 -State Fire Marshal's Meeting with Lawrence Kinney. It was very informative. I now understand how and why Fire Marshal's Office and the Training Division must work hand in hand. Respectfully submitted, Thomas L.

The need for coordination to meet- the needs of youth is especially necessary due to budget constraints. Mr. Honey reminded those present that the purpose of this meeting was (1) to aquaint people involved in youth services with the subcommittee's recommendations in the area of juvenile justice, (2) to bring forth ideas and considerations for the implementation of the recommendations, and (3) to plan for ongoing meetings of this group in order to further coordination of services. Those present introduced themselves. Mr. Honey then reviewed recommendations 1,2,3,4,7,8, and 9 of the Juvenile Justice profile, as follows: 1) Outreach and Recreation: the unique opportunities for programming for youth through the University of Iowa's Recreation Education Program were emphasized. 2) Employment: the lack of jobs for youth due to the presence of a large university student population was mentioned, as well as the need to inform employees of their legal rights. 3) Substance Abuse: this recommendation emphasizes the need for a substance abuse counselor for youth. 4) Parenting 7) Information for youth: on birth control, VD, etc.; available services are underutilized due to lack of awareness of them on the part of youth. 8) Youth Representation: in policy making and related activities. 9) Survey of youth: to further gain their input on what is needed. Mr. Honey asked each of the representatives to discuss ways in which they felt they might fit into the planning coordination process and to refer to those recommendations which their agencies might best be able to address. The representatives were also asked to focus on any other related concerns which they might have. Public Libr.a;!y (4,7) Carol Spaziani said that parenting edu- cation goes on informally all the time; the section of books on parenting education is one of the most frequently used sections. She feels that• t•he library would be able to help support an organized parent• group, although there may be problems with DORM MICROLAI3 3) L Justice.Subcommittee (4/10/78) regard to attendance. The Mental Health Center once established a parent group, but only a handful of people were at all active. The library also has a number of informational brochures for youth in its information rack. This resource is utilized often. Kirkwood Community Education Center (3,4,7) Carol Ballantyne said that Kirkwood has both a lunch and dinner series for parents, at which discussion of substance abuse problems takes place. It also offers night classes in a variety of areas and distributes much information on agency resources to youth. There are about 20 young parents, 15 to 18 years old, completing high school during the daytime in the GED program as well. Carol feels that Kirkwood might be able to provide more services in -these areas. 4H and Youth (Johnson County Extension) (1,4) Janet Martin said that it is difficult to ascertain volunteers and to devote much effort to interagency coordination because people are often involved in a number of activities and are quite busy. She felt that some attention must be devoted to resolving these problems. PALS (1,4,S) Jan Peterson felt that coordination of youth -serving agencies might help to maximize their effectiveness and the effectiveness of the PALS matches. The PALS program uses many resources of other. agencies. Ms. Peterson thought that perhaps the outreach and recreation recommendation might be used to help put the PALS kids more in touch with recreation resources. The program serves kids from 6 to 14 .years old; the adult matches must be 18 or older, the average age being 25-26 years. Parents are met with more or less often, depending on the smoothness of their child's match. Some counseling is done, but this is fairly rare and parents don't expect it as part of the service. (3) Patrick Vickers said that adult PALS need to be knowledgeable about drugs and drug abuse because the kids rely heavily on their advice and opinions. Marcia Macaulay emphasized the need for adult PALS to be informed in a variety of areas. She felt that PALS can provide an effective information service for kids in that they may tell something to their matches who then pass it along to their friends. Tim Chiles expressed the need for interagency coordination in recruitment due to the small number of volunteers who offer their services. such coordination would be of great help in better utilizing the volunteer pool and avoiding competition among agencies for volunteers. Cama£ire Girls Betty Nerad said that most problems with regard to membership start when kids are in 6th to 8th grade; this is when kids often lose their motivation and begin to think it's DORM MICROLAB 4) Justice Subcommittee (4/10/78) ,not cool' to belong. Their peers in the organization can only do so much to encourage them to join and remain active. The organization's greatest difficulty is in finding enough vol- unteer leaders for these age groups. They do have leaders in almost every school in Iowa City, but are often not accessible to youngsters in rural areas. 411 is generally recommended for those in rural areas who are unable to get into town for meetings. Crisis Center (7) Mary McMurray said that the Crisis Center has begun to coor'dinat-e information on VD, birth control, etc., from a number of agencies, to be made available to young people. Her main concern is that of setting up a means to distribute this information through the schools. Free Medical Clinic (7) Marge Penney stated that her major con= cern was in regard to information dissemination. The Free Medical Clinic does not want to publicize its services too widely but would like to reach all those who are in need, not only those who are most agr.essive in seeking out services. Some young people in all areas of Johnson County do find out about the Free Medical Clinic, probably by word of mouth. Carol Spaziani suggested putting the statistics from several agencies together in order to arrive at a comprehensive picture of who is being served and by whom, etc. This could be used toward planning a method for disseminating information. She suggested using Health Department statistics as a starting point-. Career Development• Program (2,7) Jill Williams -Graham felt that the program could best contribute in the areas of employment and information. Mayor's Youth Employment & Job Service of Iowa (2) Joan Van Steenhuyse said that there is a problem in that Mayor's Youth can only reach a few young people. There are also very few part- time work opportunities for 14 and 15 year olds due to the presence of so many 17 and 18 year old college students, whom employers naturally prefer because of their age and experience. The, Youth,Conservation Corps is open to those 15 and older, and has no income guidelines, but can only serve a limited number. There is a need for an interviewer at Job Service who would deal primarily with youth. Ms. Van Steenhuyse mentioned the Earn -It Program for youth, which is aimed at• restitution. There is no one on this program as yet. There is public interest in the program but there are legal con- cerns about the ages of kids who can be employed through it. Youth Homes, Inc. (all) Ron Henderson felt that, although Youth Homes was not mentioned under all the recommendations, it is affected by most of them and could contribute t•o their implemen- tation. He expressed interest in working with other agencies toward expansion of services to fill the gaps. JORM N'nCHOI. An 5) Justice Subcommittee (4/10/78) Juvenile Probation (1,2) Al Wicks said that most of the problems he encounters are related to a lack of jobs or recreation oppor- tunities. He would like to see all of the needs met but felt that these two areas were most important. Families, Inc. (4) Sam Hunt felt that parenting was the most important area to focus on. lie said that one means of informing parents of needed services might be a listing of services sim- ilar to that in the Johnson County Services Index but limited to services ,for parents and their children. Such a resource guide might be distributed in newspaper form. Jim Swaim felt that such a listing would not really reach those parents who might not even consider that they need help. It is extremely difficult to identify parents who need help in parenting and then to convince them in a non -threatening manner to seek such help. Iowa City Parks and Recreation (1) Bob Lee stated his willingness to work with agencies on recreation programs of all kinds in order to better serve the needs of youth in Johnson County. MECCA (3) Margie Scranton said that MECCA works with youths re- ferred either by their families or by Juvenile Diversion to help teach them responsible use of drugs and improve their self-image. The program works with the youth's family, at least at the be- ginning of treatment. It also coordinates with United Action for Youth in some cases. Only four youths are being served by the program at the present time. Margie said that they would like to be able to serve more and to work with them in groups as well as individually. Iowa City Schools (4,7) Al Azinger felt coordination of services to be very important. The schools do attempt to coordinate in- formation in various areas in their curriculums. He said that he feels that it is important for agencies who are working with the same problem in different ways to coordinate their functions. Mr. Azinger felt that the schools' ability to provide parenting education is limited. Some help is given to young parents of high school age but there is no integrated program for this. All kids must take home economics in junior high school but only a small portion of the program relates to parenting. In regard to the parents of students, the schools cannot deal with them directly but they can sometimes force them to seek help elsewhere. Grant Wood Area Education Agency (7) Mardi Cooper said that the agency's services are preventative in nature and are geared toward young children. She felt the area of information to be the most relevant to Grant Wood AEA and suggested that a resource index be developed for youth, to include information on services and on the consequences of certain actions (e.g., substance abuse, VD). Lutheran Social Service (3,4,7,8) Morrie Adams said that he felt that there are plenty of recreational and employment opportunities DORM MIGROL AR 6) Justice Subcommittee (9/10/78) in the area but that youth often do not want to take advantage of them. He felt that LSS could participate somewhat in the area of substance abuse counseling and could participate on a speakers bureau for informational purposes. They could also send a representative to meetings for the purpose of coordin- ation. Mr. Adams felt that Lutheran Social Service might con- tribute most in the area of parenting as it has held workshops to help parents before parenting problems become too great. United Action for Youth (all) Jim Swaim said that the biggest -problem facing agencies is the limited amount of money available from local funding bodies for human service programs. The amount of local money available should be expanded. Mr. Swaim suggested two means of working on this: 1) try to get the State Legislature to loosen the budget constraints on local fundingbodies and 2) coordinate agencies, both paid and vol- unteer -based, in order to avoid competition for available .funds while still highlighting the need for increased local support. Ethan Fox said that the biggest problems which cause young people to get into trouble are too much time on their hands and lack of motivation. Department of Social Services ( 7 ) John Kramer said that he works with older adolescents and that protective services are the top priority services provided. lie felt that it was im- protant for the DSS staff to be more knowledgeable about funding amounts within the department and services available in the area. This is important for information and referral purposes and to help make services more personal by avoiding a lot of red tape and shuffling clients from one worker to another. The group decided that at its next meeting it will break up into smaller groups according to the recommendations which the representatives felt were most• germaine to their particular agency or organization. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 22 at 7:00 p.m. The meeting was adjourned shortly after 9:00 p.m. P. Ramser .10 HM %IIC R 4D 1.

Kucharzak, Director, Housing & Inspection Services RE: Housing Rehabilitation Income and Area Changes INCOME CHANGES The Housing Rehabilitation Program staff is recommending that the grant income limits be raised from 50% to 54% of the median incomes proposed by HUD for FY 78. There are 24 grant applicants who are presently ineligible solely because of their incomes. Of these, 7 are verified and would be eligible under the proposed 54% guidelines. An additional 10 families would have to be interviewed to deter- mine their status and another 7 families would be referred to City or Federal loan programs. Besides these cases, the staff expects to pick up more grants as the new funds are publicized. If has also become a pattern for inquiries to cluster around homes that are being rehabilitated. The addition of the new cases should generate more activity as the homeowners' neighbors and friends inquire about the program. In light of HUD's recommended income increase, the staff examined typical Iowa City incomes to see if the guidelines are adequate to serve the Rehab constit- uency. The City's personnel office, the University's personnel office and the Social Security office were contacted. $15,000.00, which is the median income for a family of four in Iowa City, was used as the applicant's highest wage while working. The usual income adjustments were made. In the case of grant applicants, 75% of all fixed income and 90% of all non -fixed income is added together to deter- mine the applicant's adjusted income. The following are examples of the staff's findings: RETIRED U OF I EMPLOYEE: $ 6,450.00 pensions, social security 2,400.00 spouse's social security $ 8,850.00 TOTAL INCOME x 75% $ 6,637.50 ADJUSTED INCOME RETIRED CITY OF IOWA CITY EMPLOYEE $ 7,380.00 Social Security for worker and spouse 1,200.00 IPERS $ 8,580.00 TOTAL INCOME x 75% $ 6,435.00 ADJUSTED INCOME r MICRO[ ILMED BY JORM MICROLAB MICROFILMLD BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND uL5 I•iu11L iu+ Memo to; Neal Berlin / _ ty Council From; Michael E, Kucharzak Re; Housing Rehabilitation Income and Area Changes 4/3/78 page 2 54% of the HUD FY78 median income figures are $6,500.00 for a 2 person family. This amount is somewhere between the two examples given above. $6,500.00 is also close to the average income of those over -income applicants that staff has verified ($6,484.20). The median income for those verified cases is $6,207.89. It is proposed then, that the income figures for grant cases be raised to 54% of the median income figures proposed by HUD. This action will provide more realistic income guidelines so that more elderly and handicapped Iowa City homeowners may be served by the Housing Rehabilitation Program. AREA CHANGES The Housing Rehabilitation staff recommends that the service areas for no -interest loans and forgivable loans be expanded from the present concentrated service areas to include the entire 403 area. This change will enable the program to offer loans to homeowners who are not eligible for grant assistance. There are 45 homeowners who have asked for the REHAB I loan in the 403 area and 17 who have requested forgivable loans. Changing the areas now will give the staff the necessary time to determine which cases are eligible for Housing Rehabilitation and prepare construction contracts for summer -fall completion. This will enable the staff to nearly exhaust FY78 funding allocations before the end of the fiscal year. It will also enable staff to get an early start on the identification of cases for the next fiscal year. i i MICROFILMED BY 1 JORM MICR�LAB FFDAR 11M'15' • ^r., MOVIFs 141LR0FILI•1,ED BY JORM I•IICROLAB • CEDAR RAPIDS AND ULS NUINL�, 104;, City of Iowa C: .91 DATE: INUrch 27, 1978 TO: %1ayor and City Council FROM: Kevin Keck RE: Enclosed Check Ile have found that part-time elected officials are exempt from PICA taxes.

This proposal is designed to accomplish this goal in the most equitable manner, and with a maximum amount of local participation and control. The decision to participate in an urban revitalization pro- gram, and to what extent, would be left entirely to the discretion of the city council. A city would not be required to participate in the program. If a city desired to have this type of program, it could choose to what extent it would participate by limiting the areas designated for revitalization. Taxpayers would have input into the city's decision to participate in the program and to what extent through the ordinance passing procedures. The program is designed in such a way that its use would not erode a city's current tax base. Since a city would begin collect- ing taxes on twenty-five percent of the market value of the property including the value added by improvements, participation in the program would not result in a loss of assessed valuation. A city would also have the option to discontinue participation in the program when the desired level of revitalization has been accomplish - ed. MICROFILMED OY I JoRM MICR�?LAB FFOAC . PFS I.10RIEC R i MILROFILMEU BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND ULS MUINL�, IUdI, -2- In any taxation program, it is essential to ensure that tax- payers are treated in a fair and equitable manner. Also, consid- oration must be given to the equal protection clauses of the Constitutions of the State of Iowa and the United States. For these reasons, the program does not permit city councils to exercise discretion in the granting of exemptions within the designated areas. By making the exemption available in a uniform manner to all taxpayers in the designated areas, the constitutional requirements of equal protection would be satisfied. How Program Would Ylork I Each city council would be authorized to designate, by ordi- nance, certain geographical areas within the city as "revitaliza- tion areas" for purposes of this program. In designating those areas, city councils would be required to follow the definitions of "slum" and "blighted" areas set forth in Sections 903.17(8) and 903.17(9) of The Code. All classes of real estate would be eligible for this program Also, the program would include the remodeling of existing struc- tures as well as new buildings. Any and all improvements that have added at least twenty-five percent to the value of existing real estate within a designated area would be eligible for the program upon the filing of an application by the owner of the property upon which the improve- ments are made. The initial application would be filed with the i 141CRDf ILIIED BY JORM MICR+LAB rrnne Darla, . ars MOPIFs O• LROFILMEU BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND UES MUItiL: , rJa- -3- city council and forwarded to the local assessor who would determine the amount of valuation subject to tax exemption. This first-year application would contain information pertaining to the nature of the improvements, estimated costs, and the estimated completion date. Subsequent annual applications would be filed directly with the local assessor. The program would run for a period of five years, beginning with the year in which the improvements were first assessed. A decreasing percentage of the market value of the property including the value added by improvements would be exempt from taxation for five years as follows: first year -- seventy-five percent; second year -- sixty percent; third year -- forty-five percent; fourth year -- thirty percent; fifth year -- fifteen percent. After the fifth year, the full market value of the real estate, including all improvements, would be subject to taxation. Not subject to the tax exemption would be the market value of the land. The land would continue to be assessed at its fair market value as determined by the local assessor. Taxes would be levied on the assessed value of an existing improvement until the amount of valuation of the real estate, including all new improve- ments, upon which the taxes would be paid would equal or exceed the valuation of the existing improvement at the time the project was begun. A city council, by ordinance, may elect to discontinue the urban revitalization program when desired levels of revitalization i WICRDFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB N DAP PM•T`5 ^fC tiorirs MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB • CEDAR RAPIDS AND ULS ;10i:iLh, iU?d, -h- have been accomplished, or economic conditions are such that the program would cease to be a benefit to the city. When a urban revitalization program is discontinued, all existing ex- emptions granted would continue in effect until their expiration. Administration The program would be administered entirely at the local level. Since city councils would designate the revitalization areas and exemptions within those areas would be granted uniformly, state government would not be involved in the administration of the program. Since the long-range intent of the program is to revita- lize blighted and slum areas of cities, thereby ultimately increas- ing their tax bases, there would appear not to be a need to provide state funding during the interim exception period.

POPULATION AND LAND USE A. Phase I Growth Sequence includes approximately same population total for Iowa City as used in Metro Plan and ATS: Metro Plan/ATS - 63,499 persons Iowa City Phase I - 64,465 persons B. Plan proposals for most segments of the urban area are very similar, i.e., Metro Plan generally matches Com- prehensive Plan Phase I. Exception: Vicinity of Dubuque Street and Prairie du Chien Road, South of Interstate 80, where Comprehensive Plan forecasts approximately 1000 more dwelling units (2800 more population growth) than in the Metro Plan. The transportation impacts of this variance have been analyzed in a preliminary fashion using a portion of the methodology of the Area Transportation Study, as described in the next section. II. TRANSPORTATION ASPECTS A. The Comprehensive Plan includes certain elements (roadways) not included in the ATS Consultant's Recommended Plan. Also, some of the ATS recommendations are not included in the Comprehensive Plan. B. To evaluate the differences in the transportation elements of the two plans, it is recommended that the Comprehensive Plan proposals (transportation and land use), when accepted by the City Council, be tested via the computer model of the ATS, with the staff assistance of the State DOT. C. Based on the computer modeling analysis, cost/benefit com- parisons, similar to the method in ATS Report 03 (consul- tant's report), should be performed. Transportation modal split options (auto/transit, etc.) should be included. Recommendations for adjustments to either or both of the plans should be prepared and considered. 77z Y MICROFILMED BY )ORM MIC R+LAB CFD�R It�PIP°, '1FS MDI!IFS MICROFILMED BY JORM FIICROLAB -2- CEDAk RAPIDS AND ULA iui:iE� D. The Iowa Department of Transportation staff has prepared a preliminary analysis of traffic volumes caused by in- creased urban development programmed in the Comprehensive Plan for the vicinity of North Dubuque Street near I-80 (in addition to growth contemplated in the Metro Plan/ATS). As shown in the technical notes, following, this added de- velopment would add approximately 23,000 vehicular trips (round -trips count as two trips) to the street network. (Note: These trips from the four affected traffic zones are in addition to the ATS 1995 forecast of 19,305; thus 19,305 and 23,000=42,305 trips.) No attempt has been made to deter- mine how"these added trips would be distributed on the street network. Such analysis should be carried out as per item B, above. It is noted however that the primary street in the vicinity is Dubuque Street, which, for the segment between Market Street and Kimball Road, is forecasted in the ATS to be 45% over capacity by the year 1995. (Capacity 16,400, forecast traffic 22,960.) The Consultant's Recommended ATS Plan suggests improvements to Gilbert Street to alleviate this capacity problem. The addition of further urban development, generating 23,000 more trips, in this vicinity would further aggrevate the street deficiencies and may therefore require additional improvements, recognizing however that not all of the added trips would be directed toward Dubuque Street.

This trafficways plan represents a street system designed to serve the needs of Iowa City by the year 2000. This plan is not expected to be fully implemented by 2000, but it includes some projects which will likely be built, and corridors that should be protected. The functional classification of the streets is intended to ensure this protection by reservation of sufficient right-of-way for eventual street construction. The plan is based on the assumption that new urban intensity development will take place largely within the existing city limits plus the Ralston Creek and Willow Creek watersheds and the area immediately south of the city limits over 650 feet above sea level. A map of the trafficways plan is contained on the fold -out page following the design standards. FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION. Functionally, trafficways need to fulfill two roles:. circulation and access to property. .The trafficways plan estab- lishes a functional classification of primary arterial, secondary arterial, collector and local streets, with each classification representing a shift in relative importance of the circulation and access functions.--. - A. PRIMARY ARTERIAL streets' principal function is to provide for vehicular circulation. Primary arterial streets should be designed to carry large volumes of traffic (15,000 or more vehicles/day) and should form a continuous system of a ring and radial streets serving the core of the city. Primary arterial streets serve as the principal truck routing system of the community and, because of the adverse effects of trucks and large volumes of traffic, they should be well buffered with landscaping and ample rights-of-way. 173 DORM MICROI_nH 77.2. B. SECONDARY ARTERIAL streets serve a dual function of circulation and access, with circulation taking precedence. Secondary arterial streets should be developed to carry large volumes of traffic (5,000- 15,000 vehicles/day) in a grid and radial pattern which supplements the primary arterial system. Secondary arterial streets should offer direct property access only to large industrial, commercial, insti- tutional, and multifamily residential sites and should be buffered from residential uses by ample landscaped transitions. C. COLLECTOR streets serve the dual function of circulation and access, with access taking precedence. Collector streets should be designed to carry moderate volumes of traffic (1,000-5,000 vehicles/day) relatively short distances to and from arterial streets. The col- lector street system should be discontinuous, with street lengths no longer than one kilometer (0.6 mile) as a general rule. Collector streets should provide access to all types of land use, however access for single-family residences should be onto local streets. D. LOCAL streets serve the function of access to property. Local streets should be designed to carry only small volumes of traffic (up to 1,000 vehicles/day) and to discourage both high-speed and high-volume use. The local street network should be relatively continuous, but indi- vidual streets should neither extend much beyond one kilometer (0.6 mile) in length nor have direct access to primary arterial streets; access to secondary arterial streets should be minimized. Local streets should provide access to all land uses except the most intense uses such as industrial, institutional and commercial. 174 �. jai DORM MICR©LAB .. in. .1URM 611L;0JL1'u TRAFFIC14AY DESIGN STANDARDS.

This street presently serves industrial and commercial businesses, a mobile home court and minor residential development. Also this street serves as an access road to the adjacent agricultural land and provides a connection between the City of Hills and Iowa City. (see figure H1) Project Information: A. Iowa City Population 1974 Census - 47,744 1998 Projection - 66,050 B. Background Information: The commercial and industrial area which is served by South Gilbert Street is continuing to grow steadily. The proposed new sewage treatment plant, which will be constructed along South Gilbert Street, will provide sewer service within 3-5 years to the area and enhance development south of Highway M6. The City anticipates rapid growth in this area due to limited availability of sewer service in almost all other areas of the City.

Report N1 - Forecasted Street and Highway System Deficiencies. 2. Report N2 - Preliminary Street, Highway and Transit Alternatives. 3. Report Y3 - Consultant's Recommended 1995 Transportation Plan. Increased interest in residential development and the location of the proposed sewer treatment plant will necessitate increasing the forecasted 1995 traffic volumes. C. Traffic Information 1. Intersection of Highway H6 and South Gilbert (see figure N2A and H2B) 2. Accident incidence (see figure VA, X38, #3C, and k3D) 3. 1978 and 1998 traffic volumes have been calculated and expanded by the City of Iowa City. The intersection traffic volumes shown in figure 2A and 2B are at variance with the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission's Area Transportation Study's (JCRPC-ATS) conclusions and forecasts for 1995. On November 3, 1977, a sixteen (16) hour manual count was performed at the intersections of Gilbert Street with Highway N6 and Gilbert Street with Highland Avenue. The results were expanded to an estimated A.D.T. using Iowa City's expansion factors. These A.D.T.'s were found to equal or exceed the levels forecasted for 1995 by the JCRPC-ATS. To forecast for the 1998 design year it was assumed an annual traffic volume increase of 1.5 percent would remain constant. This 1.5 percent annual growth rate is equivalent to a 35 i111CROMMED BY JORM MICR+LA6 f(MP, PANq' • irs M0j!IrS r•IILROFILMLD BY JORM MICROLAB -3- CEDAR RAPIDS AND ULS MUINLj, :un„ percent growth for the 20 year period. This figure was used on all legs of the intersection. It is assumed the traffic volumes for the south leg of the Gilbert Street/Highway N6 intersection will increase at a higher rate than the rest of the intersection due to an increased intensity of land use. Therefore an additional 10 percent or a total of 45 percent increase was forecasted for this leg of the intersection. The City feels there are two primary justifications for increasing the A.T.S. forecasts. In 1982, the City will begin construction of a new pollution control plant. This plant will be downstream from and south of the southerly terminus of the project. This new plant will provide 1260 additional acres with immediate sanitary sewer facilities, which will cause this land to become prime for residential development. Additionally, 40 acres of land will become more desirable for new commercial and light industrial development. This new development will create new jobs in the area. It is felt the land use assumptions used in the A.T.S. do not adequately reflect these new developments and their impact on traffic generation. 0. Existing South Gilbert 1.

They are as follows: a) The skew angle at Highway M6 and South Gilbert will be eliminated. b) The distance between South Gilbert Street and the C.R.I.&P. Railroad crossing at Highway H6 will be increased to permit the construction of a left turn lane for west to southbound traffic. c) The skew angle at South Gilbert and the C.R.I.&P. Railroad crossing will be greatly reduced. d) A full 80 foot right-of-way can be obtained without creating a negative impact on adjacent commercial establishments. e) Future intersecting streets will not have to contend with a railroad crossing adjacent to their intersection. 14ICROFIL14ED BY , JORM MICR+LAB MAR Ii1 rl?S �(S IdO1VF5 MILROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB 2. Right -of -Way Needs CEDAR RAPIUS AND ULS MUiIILi, iUeJ,, A 73 foot right-of-way from the south end of the project to the north line of Napoleon Park will be maintained. An 80 foot right-of-way shall be acquired from the north line of Napoleon Park to Highway #6. The existing 60 foot right-of-way north to Highway #6 and within the project limits shall be widened to 70 feet (see figure #6). No property from the Napoleon Park site will be acquired for this project. 3. Pavement Width and Type It is proposed that the pavement width on South Gilbert Street will be 45 feet wide with 6" integral curbs to provide four (4) eleven (11) foot traffic lanes. The pavement width at Highway #6 will be 56 feet wide with integral curbs to provide a fifth lane for left turn movements. Although it is recognized that 12 foot lanes are desirable, right-of-way restrictions at the inter- section with Highway #6 would preclude this feature without the possibility of a major property acquisition and business relocation. Furthermore, Gilbert Street north of the project maintains 11 foot lanes. Experience with this cross section has shown that traffic flow is not impeded with 11 foot lanes at the design speed within the urban systems. Highway #6 will also be reconstructed to provide a fifth lane for sufficient storage for left turn movements (see figure #7). Pavement thickness and type will be determined as part of the design project, but it is anticipated that the thickness will be 8 inch i 14ICROFIL14ED BY .j JORM MICR¢LAB MAR I''AITI' nE` 1401"IE5 M1LI<01ILMED BY JORM 141CROLAB -7- CEDAR RAPIDS AND DLA i'!U1:tLj, :w+,, Portland cement concrete with a 6 inch integral curb and a parabolic cross section (see figure #8) on South Gilbert Street, and a 10 inch thick pavement on Highway #6 to maintain continuity with the existing 10 inch pavement. 4. Storm Sewers Adequate storm sewers with inlets sufficient to keep two (2) 12 foot lanes free of water during a 5 year crnrm are or000sed. Culvert crossings will have sufficient capacity to carry a 100 year storm without flooding. 5. Sidewalks A four (4) foot sidewalk on the east side and an eight (8) foot sidewalk/bike lane on the west side from Highway #6 to the north line of Napoleon Park are proposed for this project. 6. Traffic Control The intersection of Highway #6 and South Gilbert Street will be signalized using a fully actuated eight phase controller which will handle the anticipated 1998 traffic movements at a level of service "C". 7. Access Control All private and public access will be maintained and placed according to current Iowa City design standards. Any future access will be restricted to the same design standards. 141CROFILIIED BY i JORM MICR+LA9 CQAR PAIT); !i(5 MOIIICS MICROrILME.0 BY DORM MICROLAB 10 CEDAR RAPIDS AND uLS ;tuiNL,, !J1111 8. Project Terminus The project will begin at the south line of Napoleon Park and extend northward to Highway #6; a distance of 1.10 miles. Reconstruction of Highway #6 will extend far enough from the intersection to provide a sufficient transition for the installation of left turn lanes, i.e., Highway #6 west leg 680 feet and east leg 830 feet (see figure #7). 9. Napoleon Park Napoleon Park is located at the south end of the project and adjacent to the west side of the right-of-way. This project will enhance the accessibility to the park by automobiles, bicycles and pedestrians. 10. Project Cost and Funding Estimated cost of the total project; paving, excavation, storm sewer, etc. is $1,374,000; 70% or $961,800 is the Federal aid to Urban Systems share, 7.46% or $102,450 is the Urban -State Traffic Engineering Program share (Stevens Drive to north project terminus), and 22.54% or $309,750 is the City's share. 11. Proposed Schedule Submittal of concept statement - January 27, 1978 Submittal of location design report - April 15, 1978 Contract letting date - August, 1978 The City of Iowa City, Engineering Division will design and provide inspection for this project. 1• `t�Fl r—d RorILMED BY _ I � JORM MICR�LAB rrnnc anrm<, • ^rs "Dins h1lCROF1LMLD BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND uLS hiultiLj, ;uv„ W Mi LROI-ILMLU BY JORM MICROLAB CLUAk RAPIDS AND 180 - r,+1 fill,�llowa (CITY-�I - ..,.. ,...,. 1.109 1 3,724 1 MILROHLMEO BY JORM HICROLAB 14,489 1 5.1% TRUCKS 7,281 76 2,163 • CEDAR RAPM AND Ulf !oa" VEHICULAR TURNING MOVEMENTS 9�- 535 1 4,121 7,845 17,5 -/.TRUCKS GILBERT ST.
