Berlin called attention to additional budget material on the airport sent out in the packet. Council discussed the access easement on page 328, and as the agreement involved landowners, they will have to do the basic improvement to the road; survey showed that 2/3 of people would be willing to financially help in T -hangar with long term lease on land; need for Master Plan to get federal funding; utilization of airport by industry & hospital, should hospital pay instead of taxpayers?; increase in flow- age fees; airport as a viable part of the community, attracting industry to provide jobs & taxpayers; a financial analysis for the airport from outside to make operation more profitable. Berlin requested that Vitosh look at the economic projection of leasing hangars at the rates we have, etc, so that Council can see the payoff. He suggested that the Commission look at alternative methods of funding to finance operations by user fees such as, charging parking fees, financing shop building with the fixed based operator, looking into condomimium T -hangar financing.

Crossing Guards FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES Page 3 Council Informal January 15, 1979 Miller reported that Don Akin is doing a super job as supervisor of the program. As this item had previously been discussed, the consensus of the Council was that the City Manager write to the Iowa City School Board offering to allot $25,000 for employment of crossing guards, with the school board administering the program and financing any other costs above that amount. Miller reported that they receive about 150 false intrusion alarms each month, and later Council will receive information on licensing and regulating alarm systems. Animal Control Extra help is needed for licensing procedures. He explained the proposed new policy on licensing and computerizing files. The added revenues could be applied to funds for a new animal shelter. They are not using CETA employees, as they are not as reliable as needed. Fire Department Chief Bob Keating present. 2000 -End Keating commented that equipment is in good shape and pointed out that 6 1-30 Side 2 meal money is now in personal services.

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES Molr4ES 1 MINUTES RESOURCES CONSERVATION COMMISSION JANUARY 23, 1979 4:30 P.M. CIVIC CENTER CONFERENCE ROOM MEMBERS PRESENT: Bolnick, Denniger, Hotka, Stager. STAFF PRESENT: Tinklenberg, RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL The Resources Conservation Commission recommends to the City Council that the Pilot Can Recycling Project be dropped until a cost effective method of picking up the materials is determined. The Resources Conservation Commission requests the City Council's permission to apply for the EPA Financial Assistance for Resource Recovery Project Development funds for FY80. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION ANO FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN Stager moved, Bolnick seconded, to approve the minutes of the November 28, 1978, meeting as read. Approved unanimously. Pilot Can Recvclino Proinrt Denniger stated that he agreed with Plasti'no's assessment that the Pilot Can Recycling Project was not cost effective, which is not to say that it is not cost effective to recycle cans or bottles by some other means. Other Commissioners concurred with that position. Stager moved, Hotka seconded, that the Resources Conservation Commission recommend that the Pilot Can Recycling Project be dropped until a cost effective method of picking up the materials is deter- mined. Approved unanimously. Tinklenberg summarized the EPA program by stating that EPA is offering 75 percent matching grant monies to cities to determine the feasibility of resource recovery approaches. Basically there are two approaches to recycling, and once the consultant recommends either resource recovery or source separation as the most feasible, then project development can take place. To cover the City's 25 percent share of the cost, Tinklenberg stated that he had proposed $7,705 in Level 3 of 3 of General Fund Energy Conservation Program budget, for the consultants fee and for a one quarter time person to handle data acquisition and the application submission. The Commissioners felt that the benefits of the grant program outweigh the burden of paperwork involved in an EPA grant application. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1101NES 179, MINUTES RESOURCES CONSERVATION COMMISSION JANUARY 23, 1979 Page 2 Bolnick moved, Stager seconded, that the Resources Conservation Commission formally request the City Council's permission to apply for the EPA Financial Assistance for Resource Recovery Project Development funds for FY80. Approved unanimously. Discussion: The Commissioners directed that a letter of explanation concerning the program and its benefit to the City is to accompany the request. National Energy Act Flier After discussion the RCC decided that a flier may not be appropriate to explain the National Energy Act. Tinklenberg reported that the ordinance establishing the RCC mandates that the RCC analyze the National Energy Act and make recommendations concerning it to the City Council. The Commissioners requested copies of the Act and asked the staff to attempt to arrange for some students to assist the Commission members in the analysis of the five Acts. It was noted that this may be an appropriate time for a press release reminding people that they can use part of the cost of ! energy conservation measures as a tax deduction. i Other Business i City Purchase of Solar Collector: Tinklenberg reported that the Director of Public Works, Dick Plastino, was willing to consider placing a collector on one of the modular buildings at the Municipal Service Building area. It was suggested that staff contact the Parks and Recreation Department also to see if they are interested. Pilot Solar Demonstration Project: Tinklenberg reported that he has dropped the project for now in the interest of getting other projects done such as the Heat Loss Identification Project and the inventory of municipal buildings. Denniger stated that it should be picked up again as soon as the other projects allow. Library: Tinklenberg reported that the schematic stage is done and that there is a two week review period, to be followed by seven weeks of design development, a one week review, and by nine weeks of work on the contract documents. The Commissioners stated that they wished to review at all review stages and that an offer of assistance should be made to the City Inspectors by the RCC at the time of the City inspection for Code compliance. Schematic stage review will be placed on the agenda for the next RCC meeting. Heat Loss Identification Project: Tinklenberg reported that a one- half time person has been hired and that they have been getting the project going the last several days. Staff Time: Tinklenberg reported that he had prioritized his work by default, due to the simple lack of time to handle all of the MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES 1 MINUTES �l RESOURCES CONStRVATION COMMISSION JANUARY 23, 1979 Page 3 projects. Denniger stated that the Energy Management Teams were supposed to take some of the workload.

No one responded. Blum then called for consideration of the minutes of the meeting of December 21, 1978. They were unanimously approved as circulated. The minutes of January 4, 1979, were then considered. These were also unanimously approved as circulated. 5-7829. Public discussion of the preliminary plat of Village Green, Part 10, located southwest and northeast of Village Road extended; 45 -day limitation period: waived, 60 -day limitation period: waived. Boothroy presented an overlay of the area, stating that there were 62 lots with 62 single family dwellings planned for the area. He further stated that all the deficiencies and discrepancies had been corrected and that the plat should be approved subject to the IDEQ's approval of the sewage detention facility. There being no discussion on this item, Blum called for a vote subject to the IDEQ's approval of the sewage detention facility. Approval was unanimous with all Commissioners voting in favor. Consideration of an innovative parking area design submitted by Pat Harding Con- struction Company. Boothroy stated that this plan had been presented at the informal meeting on Tuesday night. He pointed out that there are more trees planned than are required. Blum called for a vote on this item. Approval was unanimously in favor with all Commissioners voting in favor. Discussion of the closure of Melrose Court. Schmeiser pointed out that the Commissioners had received copies of memos from Dick Gibson of the University of Iowa, Dennis Kraft of the Department of Planning and Program Development, and Dick Plastino of the Department of Public Works as well as copies of the four-way stop survey. He stated that while Mr. Piastino had been out of town his memo of October 13 was being provided to the Commission since his views had not changed. Blum asked if anyone in the audience wished to address this issue. Leo Brachtenbach, 611 Brookland Park Drive, stated that the recent snow has really complicated the problem on Melrose Court. He stated that there is a 4 -inch clearance now and that the street is not wide enough for two normal size cars to pass. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES h10111ES i Planning and Zoning Commission January 18, 1979 Page 3 Kammermeyer stated that he felt that the Commission was dealing with three inter- related items. These items are: (1) the closure of Melrose Court, (2) whether to make any recommendation on a Melrose diagonal, and (3) whether or not to consider any or all of Mr. Blum Is recommendations. Lehman moved, and Kammermeyer seconded, that Melrose Court be closed. Included in the various reasons why Commissioners would vote against closing Melrose Court were: (1) traffic problems in the area should be solved first, (2) there have been no over- whelming reasons for closing it, and (3) the problem should be solved in a more systematic way. Blum called for a vote on closing Melrose Court. The motion failed with all Commissioners voting against the closing. Kammermeyer moved, and Ogesen seconded, that City Council consider developing plans for the implementation of a Melrose diagonal connecting Melrose Avenue and Grand Avenue at the intersection of Riverside Drive and that City Council direct the staff to begin work on this plan as quickly as possible. After some discussion of the concept involved and possible rewording of the motion, Kammermeyer moved and Ogesen seconded withdrawing the motion and making a substitute motion. This withdrawal met with unanimous approval. Kammermeyer moved, and Ogesen seconded, that City Council accept the concept of a Melrose diagonal connecting Melrose Avenue with Grand Avenue to help solve the traffic congestion and access problems around the westside campus and that they instruct City staff to proceed with proposals for the said Melrose diagonal. This JfI motion passed with unanimous approval. I Ogesen suggested that the Commission consider interim solutions to the problems. He then moved, and Cain seconded, that as an interim measure the City proceed with the acquisition of sufficient land to enlarge the intersection of Grand Avenue and Byington Road to allow two turning lanes to the east. Approval of this motion was unanimous with all Commissioners voting in favor. Ogesen moved, and Kammermeyer seconded, that the City proceed with the widening of Melrose Avenue to four lanes from Woolf Avenue to South Grand and if possible that the widening be on the north right-of-way. After some discussion of the width of Melrose Avenue and the sizes of the lanes, Cain moved, and Vetter seconded, an amendment that the widening be done on the north right-of-way. The vote on the amendment was unanimous with all Commissioners voting in favor. Blum called for a vote on the amended motion for the widening of Melrose Avenue to four lanes from Woolf Avenue to South Grand using the north right-of-way for the widening. The motion passed unanimously. Kammermeyer moved, and Jakobsen seconded, that a four-way stop be established at the intersection of Melrose Court and Brookland Park Road. It was pointed out that the Engineering staff is against the four-way stop because of a speed impediment. It was also felt that pedestrians could be involved in accidents when they have learned to trust the stop signs. Jakobsen pointed out that the four-way stop at Court Street and Oakland has been successful. Blum called for a veto on the motion. The motion passed with all Commissioners voting in favor. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES Planning and Zoning Commi-..ion January 18, 1979 Page 4 Cain moved, and Ogesen seconded, that Melrose Avenue from South Grand Avenue to Byington be maintained as two lanes going one way to the east and that if necessary one lane be added for westbound traffic. Motion carried 7-0 with all Commissioners voting in favor. Kammermeyer moved, and Jakobsen seconded, that turns be prohibited between Greenwood and Melrose Court. Comments from Commissioners included: (1) that staff had made the point that there is a significant number of people living in the area that would have to be served by some other road if turns here were prohibited; (2) prohibiting turns in conjunction with the four-way stop would make this particular road a less desirable route; (3) this action would have a difficult impact on George Street; (4) the actions discussed thus far would ease the problems right now, whereas this action might not; and (5) that George Street is a wider street that could handle additional traffic. The motion passed with a 5-2 vote (Lehman and Ogesen voting against approval). Ogesen moved, and Jakobsen seconded, that bus stops on Grand Avenue be redesigned so that they do not impede the flow of traffic. Approval of this action was unanimous with all Commissioners voting in favor. Kammermeyer moved, and Ogesen seconded, that left turns for southbound Byington to eastbound Grand Avenue be prohibited. A discussion of whether three lanes of traffic with one lane being for buses was feasible for Grand or South Grand followed. It was ` the consensus that this would be very hard to enforce. A vote on the motion was 4-3 (with Blum, Kammermeyer, and Cain voting against approval). After a discussion of pedestrian problems that might be caused by widening Melrose Avenue to four lanes, Kammermeyer moved, and Vetter seconded, that the City investigate with the University the demand for a pedestrian signal at the intersection of Woolf Avenue and Melrose Avenue. Motion carried unanimously. Schmeiser asked that the minutes show that the memo containing the recommendation from the group that met to discuss the traffic flow between Melrose Avenue and Riverside Drive did not include a recommendation from Dick Gibson of the University. In fact, it was a recommendation from the City staff. Boothroy indicated to the Commission that a Planned Area Development was not a viable solution for the ACT development since the Commission could not reduce the parking requirements.

That the Parks and Recreation Commission recommends approval of the budgets for the Recreation Division, Park Division, Administration, and CDBG Maintenance. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTION TAKEN: Chairperson Gilpin of the Riverfront Commission called a joint meeting of the Riverfront Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission to order on January 10, 1979. . Discussion of the Riverfront Commission and its proposed budget. Gilpin stated that there had been interest in the river corridor since the City's last Comprehensive Plan in 1959 and that the Riverfront Commission had been formed in 1972. He indicated that the Commission is working on getting out of the planning stage and into the implementation stage as far as preservation of the river corridor. Referring to the Riverfront Commission's proposed budget, Gilpin reported that the $2,755 for development of the river corridor overlay had been approved and that the Commission had been allocated $75,000 of the City's block grant funds. He indicated that $25,000 of those funds could possibly be used in conjunction with matching funds to build a Rocky Shore Drive trail. He also discussed the Riverfront Commission's interest in the repair of the boat ramp in City Park and the building of a boat ramp at Napoleon Park. Showalter reported that the cost figure of $28,000 for a ramp at Napoleon Park was based on Conservation Commission plans and that there was a possibility of the Conservation Commission paying half the cost if the City uses Commission plans. He also reported that Napoleon Park would be out of use next summer due to road construction on Sand Road. Boutelle indicated he would like to discuss any proposals for repair of the City Park ramp and construction of a Napoleon Park ramp at a later date. Gilpin indicated that the Riverfront Commission felt that the best use of the block grant funds would be to construct a bike trail through the city. McLaughlin asked how much bike traffic would be anticipated on the trail and Milkman responded that it would be hard to estimate the amount of traffic. 181 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES y Minutes Page 2 January 10, 1979 I 1i i Discussion of designating areas alon(ithe river as historic sites. Bernie Knight of the Riverfront Commission discussed the possibility of designating areas along the river as historic sites for preservation purposes.

He reported that Levels I and II of the Recreation Division budget had been approved by the City Manager and the Finance Director and that Level I is more than 90% of this year's budget due to an increase in part-time wages to a minimum of $2.90 per hour. He also reported that $11,130 for Aid to Agencies was added to Level I for softball and baseball programs, Mark IV, and the Children's Museum and that commodities and service charges could only be raised 3%.

A planning meeting will be held in the near future to discuss objectives for the arboretum. Showalter indicated that the site chosen for the arboretum is an expandable area with exposure on all sides. i Miscellaneous discussion. Hayek commented that she had noticed that a number of smaller parks have no signs identifying them. She suggested that signs be installed in these parks on a smaller scale than the signs in the large parks and there was a concensus of the Commission that this should be done.

Flowers, Secretary MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1I01t1ES MINUTES IOWA CITY HOUSING APPEALS BOARD DECEMBER 14, 1978 MEMBERS PRESENT: Smithey, Klaus, Graham, Owens MEMBERS ABSENT: Gilpin, Pollock STAFF PRESENT: Kucharzak, Bowlin, Burke, Barnes, Malone, Kelley SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND ACTION TAKEN: Chairman asked for corrections or additions to minutes of previous meeting. The last paragraph on page two was questioned and Burke said he would check the tape for accuracy. The Board tabled approval of the minutes pending this clarification. All parties in the meeting room introduced themselves, and those ex- pected to testify were sworn in by Mr. Smithey. EVANS CASE - 656 S. GOVERNOR Chairman Smithey disqualified himself. Kucharzak reviewed the back- ground of the case as outlined in the staff report. He presented photos dated June 30, 1978 which represented conditions on the property at the time the violations were observed. Photos taken on December 12, 1978, showing that conditions of violation still exist at the property were also introduced. Ms. Evans said that she plans on using materials in the yard for remodeling. When it will be sold next year the yard will be cleaned up. Lumber has been put on pallets. Graham asked about items on the front porch. Malone said these have been cleaned up. Klaus expressed her concern for safety to local children. Evans said she did not know how long it would take to fix up the house and she was not eligible for City rehabilitation assistance. Kucharzak responded to Graham's questions concerning definition of rubbish and use of the Zoning Code provisions in the Violation Notice. Materials need not be covered with tarpaulins. Ovens asked what had been done since June and Evans detailed that some remodeling has been underway. Graham moved, Owens seconded, that Board uphold the Notice of Violation. The Board upheld the motion unanimously. At this point Smithey suggested that Ms. Evans be in contact with the Housing Inspection office to achieve compliance or if she was so disposed, she might wish to take the matter to an attorney for further court action. i $z MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES 2 McOANIEL CASES - 814 DEWEY STREET Mr. Kucharzak presented the background of the case as presented in the staff report and pointed out a typing error: the date October 21, 1978, was corrected to read October 2, 1978. Kucharzak included the fact that the ceiling height requirement derives from State Code Section 913.23. Trott asked Cobb to testify concerning 810 and 814 Dewey Street. Cobb said she and her husband occupy 814 Dewey and are comfortable with the ceiling height conditions. The Cobbs are both professionals and do not find the ceiling height a threat to their safety or health. Trott spoke to the constitutionality of both cases. He referred to Volume 15 of the Building Line, quoting Housing statistics and ques- tioned the need of the Housing Code. He said the City Council reduced window requirements from 10% to 3%. He referred to the Bill Terry case previously heard by the Board. 814 Dewey is at least 108 years old as far as he can establish, being in place in 1870. Mr. Trott once resided in the property. To change the ceiling height would be prohibitively costly. This would be taking his property without compensation. He referred to the case in New York of Denny vs. City of Mt. Vernon as supporting his case, and also quoted a U.S. Supreme Court (260 NS 233) ruling, and an Iowa Supreme Court case concerning Iowa City. Mr. Trott said the low ceiling conserved heat energy. He said ordinances must be uniformly enforced, so if Terry was not found in violation, Trott should not be found in violation. McDaniel said he appealed because of the age of the house. Kucharzak said the house appears to have been altered since it was built. Smithey clarified that the only item appealed is ceiling height and McDaniel said everything else is being taken care of. Graham commented to some of Trott's statements. Trott said property is owned by himself and his wife, not by Iowa City Housing Inc. Smithey said he did not feel the Terry case need be looked at as a precedent applicable to this case. Kucharzak responded to McDaniel that the staff report says McDaniel operates the house, not that he or the corporation owns it. Kucharzak also quoted 413.23 and said that the City Code does not incorporate a date. McDaniel said the house is managed by himself for Mr. Emil G. Trott. Smithey called for a motion. Graham moved that item N4 of the Notice be upheld. Owens seconded the motion. The motion carried three in favor, one opposed (Klaus). MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MORIES 3 810 DEWEY Kucharzak presented background of the case as contained in the staff report, and requested the Board uphold the notice. Trott clarified that Mr. McDaniel manages the property for Mr. and Mrs. Trott. He said that his arguments concerning the 814 Dewey Street case also applied to 810 Dewey. He also said the Board should consider the Terry case as relevant to this case for the purposes of uniform enforcement. Owens asked whether this section is applied to other properties and Kucharzak responded affirmatively. Kucharzak explained his view of of the Board's functions to Mr. Trott and quoted State Code 413.9. McDaniel questioned 9.30.6.0. Kucharzak said it refers to finished attic areas. Board members complimented Trott on his presentation. Chairman called for a motion. Owen moved, Graham seconded that the Board uphold the cited violation (item #9 of the Notice). Motion carried three in favor, one opposed (Klaus). Meeting took a 5 minute recess. MILLER CASE - 939 DEWEY STREET Mr. Miller was introduced to those present and was sworn in. Mr. Bowlin also joined the group. Mr. Kucharzak presented background of the case as shown in the staff report. I Mr. Miller said the building is an old one and there is no way to alter the ceiling height. Mr. Kucharzak introduced photos of the ceiling in the basement unit. Barnes said she measured the areas at each ceiling i height level. Kucharzak stated that the building was moved to its present site and set on a new foundation. He referred to records kept by Iowa -Illinois Gas and Electric Company. Graham asked Kucharzak about subsequent enforcement procedures. Smithey expressed his concern for Miller's situation. Graham said the apartment looked decent. Chairman called for a motion. Graham moved that item #4 of the Viola- tion Notice be upheld. Owens seconded. Klaus said the Board could reverse the order to get the issue before the City Council. Vote was two in favor, two opposed. Bowlin said the motion failed, and if left at this point, the decision of the Housing Inspector would stand. Kucharzak said the Board is considering a specific case here and might wish to address the City Council separately from the individual merits of this case. Members said they did not wish to change their vote. Chairman concluded that in accord with Bowlin's advice, the effect of the vote is that the order is upheld.. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES I j OTHER BUSINESS Kucharzak said staff is not comfortable in prosecuting ceiling height and that the City Council was advised of this when the Code was under consideration. He encouraged the Board to reopen the issue before the Council. Probable outcomes of today's cases if appealed to court were considered. City Council could challenge the State law. Kucharzak also said that one of the Trott houses had been moved to its present site by Max Yocum. Bowlin referred to 413.9 of the State Code. Board discussed the State Code's antiquated statutes. Klaus said she would like to address the City Council on these matters. The previously heard Brumley appeal was discussed. General discussion concerning the Appeals Board's future action in addressing the problems continued.

Action on the minutes of the meeting of December 13, 1978, was deferred in view of the fact that the minutes were never received by the Committee members. These i minutes will be reviewed at the next meeting. 2. Norman Bailey, the developer of Parcel 82-16, was present to discuss the redesign of his building. He explained that the first design had come in way over budget and that he has had the building redesigned stated that he had taken away some of tthings gthat�had uch sadded rglamour tothefirst design and that it was not as dramatic or interesting. Mr. Waverly I Ormond, architect for Mr. Baile presented drawings of the redesigned Lucas Building. The building will be two floors with a basement under half of the building. This basement section will provide storage space, space for the boiler and space for the sprinkler equipment. The first floor will be retail space while the second floor will be office space. He explained that this i design takes the building back to the property line. The materials that will probably be used include: (a) brick similar to that used in Plaza Centre I, (b) bronze metal roof similar to that of llawkeye Bank, (c) bronze glass and window I framing, and (d) a metal center section. The building will be about six feet shorter than the College Block Building. Regarding the mechanical systems, Mr. Ormond stated that the hot water boiler will be located in the basement, thermostats will be located under each window, and the air conditioning units will be located on the roof. In answer to a question regarding the lighting, Mr. Ormond stated that some lighting might be placed in the overhang of the building but that no definite plans for exterior lighting had been made since there will be lighting in the plaza area. Several members of the Committee expressed concern about the proportions of the second floor windows and the first floor windows. It was also suggested that the horizontal accents be cut down and the vertical accents be emphasized. After a lengthy discussion about these concerns, the Committee asked Mr. Bailey to consider the window proportions and design before bringing the plans back to the Committee for action.

R. #5 Iowa City, Iowa 52240 3514900 I am writing in response to the proposed Armory Neighborhood Renewal. As I have stated on several occasions we - Dewey's Auto Salvage, Inc., Dewey's L.T.D. and subisdiaries - are concerned about the filing of a pre -application for Federal Funds for the development of commercial property. It is our opinion that the job of razing structures, filling areas, landscaping etc. be left to private enterprises. Granted, areas such as street building, creek straightening, etc. can be expensive, so can the incumbrances of Federal Funding which we are all familiar with. I propose this redevelopment can be done more expeditously with the private sector and local government working together. Although the initial outlay of cash may be higher at the outset for the City, I believe that it would be more than offset by the increased tax assessments in the Armory Neighborhood. This, in conjunction with the fact that only the people that wish to sell would be needing new housing, would lessen the City's responsibility of relocating persons and business. I feel that the last thing we need as a community is any more ties to the Federal Government, since it inevitably has a way of slTing growtl�ather than promoting it. �� v u'vWv Denn M.

I have discussed the matter with Dick McCreedy and we do have a verbal understanding that we will consider both Village Green South and the most recently submitted plat of Village Green for connection to the sewage detention facility. This comprises approximately 130 lots. I informed Dick McCreedy that prior to commencing any further design for any more of his undeveloped property, he should sit down to discuss it with staff before expending any design fees. For the record, it is my recommendation that beyond these 130 lots potentially tributary to the detention facility, no further units or lots should be planned for connection to it until either: 1) The City constructs a relief sewer; or 2) The facility is actually constructed and can be tested for its effectiveness. cc: Frank Farmer MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES City of Iowa Ci MEMORANDUM DATE: January I8, 1979 TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Dennis R. Kraft, Director of Planning B Program Development RE: proposed Closure of Melrose Court iwbp 'ITte staff of the Department of Planning and Program Development has reviewed the proposal for the closure of Melrose Court. As a part of this review, various alternatives to the closure, previously prepared traffic plans and studies, and the most recent study conducted by the City's Traffic Engineer relative traffic patterns in the vicinity were all evaluated. There is little doubt that the traffic circulation around the University Hospitals -Athletic Complex has become a serious problem and that remedial steps should be taken to ameliorate. this problem, The Melrose Court area residents have a valid concern relative to the volumes of traffic which traverse their neighborhood going to and from the University complex. Undoubtedly, the width of Melrose Court falls far below that of the City's current collector street standards, however Melrose Court is functioning as a collector street and does serve as an important means of access for persons living in this part of Iowa City. The Traffic Engineer's study also indicates that serious consid- eration should be given to the provision of other remedial measures to facilitate the flow of traffic in the University Hospitals -Athletic Complex area. Major emphasis should be placed upon improving the arterial street system around the University complex to carry both the existing and anticipated volumes of traffic, particularly from' Melrose Avenue to Riverside Drive. This would serve to alleviate, to a large extent, the volume of through traffic which presently uses Melrose Court and other local and collector streets in the vicinity. Evaluation of the area has indicated that Melrose Court is the only north -south street between Riverside Drive on the east and George Street on the west (a distance of approximately 4,500 feet). Past City Councils have permitted the development of a large multi -family residential complex in the West Benton-Oakcrest Street area which generates a substantial amount of traffic. A significant portion of this traffic is destined for the west campus of the University and does use Melrose Court as this means of access. The closure of Melrose Court would result in a substantial increase in the traffic levels along George and Koser Streets, Melrose Avenue, and Riverside Drive. This closure would also result in a substantial increase in the amount of indirection of travel which would result in additional fuel consumption for vehicles in this area. The closure of Melrose Court would also provide a dis- ruption in the level of fire protection for residences in this area. In summation, it is the Department's recommendation that Melrose Court not be closed at this time. The proposed closure should receive further study at such time as necessary improvements are made along the Melrose Avenue -Grand Avenue corridor. Isolated street closures should not occur without first carefully evaluating impacts upon neighborhoods and upon area circulation systems.

RE: Comments on Membe Richard Blum's Traffic Circulation Proposals in Vicinity of East End of Melrose Avenue dated January 4, 1979 The Planning $ Zoning Commission asked informally that the University forward comments on the subject proposal. The time of the year has made it impossible to get reactions from all we would have liked to consult, but the following comments were nearly identical for those groups/individuals which did have an opportunity to review and comment. Two major problems were identified with the proposal consid- ered as a whole. They are: 1) Bus passenger pick up for East -bound busses would be dislocated away from present pick up points and further from the origins of the passengers. This would be marginally significant for dormi- tory residents and of major significance to persons coming from the hospitals and health facilities of the University. Dislocation would tend to discourage the use of busses and poten- tially result in added traffic and parking problems. 2) Access from the west to the facilities dependent on South Grand Avenue for service would be compli- cated and extended with South Grand Avenue being I one way to the south. This would result in increased travel, congestion and fuel consump- tion. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES Planning & Zoning Commission January 17, 1979 Page Two With regard to some of the specific features of Mr. Blum's proposal: Point 1. The University would have no objection to this item. It alone would contribute sienificantly to reduction of the traffic problems in the area. Point 3. A bus crossover over the median would require structural changes to the University utility tunnel running beneath the median strip. Bus stops in front of the Athletic Office Building would require removal of very successful short-term parking facilities for patrons purchasing tickets in AOB to athletic events. Point 4. Not enough technical information as to the need for, design or impact of Melrose widening is avail- able to permit a meaningful comment, particularly in light of the probability that such widening could result in loss of badly needed parking and play space adjacent to Melrose. A more precise assessment of the nature of such widening is necessary before its j impact can be properly assessed. I - Point B. Such a restriction would appear to be unnecessary if the entire proposal were implemented. University comment has been mixed on this proposal and the most j effected persons, dormitory residents, have not been I able to respond. I t Point 9. The width of this street is such that busses could be blocked from free passage by stalled or improperly parked automobiles. .In summary, it appears that the proposal would not be in the best interests of the University, particularly and primarily because of the earlier stated general problems. We appreciate the opportunity to comment on these proposals and stand ready to continue working with you jointly in addressing the problems which prompted the proposal. i i REG/es cc: Jennings Mossman f I MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIDES i I TRAFFIC FLOW IMPROVEMENTS PLAN /9i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 1.

It was the unanimous con- sensus of the group that the staff be directed to commence development of plans for a "Melrose Diagonal" and as an interim measure the City should proceed with the acquisition of land (#I of the Blum proposal) to enlarge the intersection of Grand Avenue-Byington Road to allow two turning lanes to the east. This recommendation does not agree with the Comprehensive Plan and consideration therefore should be given to amend- ing the Comprehensive Plan. The improvements 2, 3, 4, and 5 proposed by Commissioner Blum were considered not functionally viable because of bus schedules and existing and future access to University facilities. The proposals for a four- way stop located at the intersection of Melrose Court and Brookland Park Road and prohibiting no turns between eastbound Myrtle Avenue and east- bound Greenwood Street were considered to be unacceptable. jm3/26 cc: Dick Gibson, University Facilities Planning Gene Dietz, City Engineer Hugh Mose, City Transit Jim Brachtel, City Traffic Engineer Don Schmeiser, Senior Planner /97 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 1 I AC Educational Programs and Services January 25, 1979 Iowa City Council c/o Mr. Neal Berlin, City Manager 410 East Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Gentlemen: OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT Re: Large Scale Nonresidential Development Plan ACT Test Processing Facility Iowa City, Iowa Discussions have been held with City staff and the Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission about the proposed development identified above.

These problems have been discussed with City staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission and a procedure has been worked out which would satisfy City requirements as well as ACT's needs The property in question is currently zoned CO. Because ACT's parking needs for this facility fall far short of the CO requirement, and for reasons of zoning consistency, City staff has recommended a rezoning to ORP, along with a request to the Board of Adjustment for a variance in set -back requirement. All necessary drawings and documentation for the project have been submitted to the City and are currently being processed, including: 1. Large Scale Nonresidential Development Plan 2. Board of Adjustment Application relative to set -back variances 3. Rezoning Application from CO to ORP Enclosed is a copy of a memo summarizing the schedule we have informally dis- cussed with Don Schmeiser of the Planning Department in connection with the approval of ACT's applications. The schedule shows the public hearing on the rezoning request to be held by the City Council at its February 20th meeting. The schedule further shows all three readings of the ORP rezoning request to be held at the City Council's February 27, 1979 meeting. We realize this schedule deviates from the City's usual schedule; however, the project is in a tight time frame. In order to have occupancy of a completed structure by the Fall of 1979, design, followed by construction of the entire development must commence as soon as possible. Preparation of final construction plans cannot take place until ACT's appli- cations have been approved by the City. .We, therefore, respectfully request that a public hearing by the City Council be set for the February 20th meeting JAIl.rp 2 5 1979 THE AMERICAN COLLEGE TESTING PROGRAM Natm al Ofte • 2201 Nollh Dodge Street P.O.

Not only there, but over the city, protection of landscape amenities will be widely respected and appre— ciated as a prudent investment. i Before most of you mere elected to the City Council, Project GREEN made two distinct efforts to provide funds for promoting upgrading of planning and financing for main— tenance programs deserving better future funding. You may not have been aware that Project GREEN may be unique in contributing to — not asking for city money, It is our belief we all share the responsibility for making Iowa City a pleasant, attractive and clean place to live. Project GREEN's program is oriented to promote, among other worthy goals, high standards of maintenance and clean— liness in the community. To this end Project GREEN has con— tributed $10,198.00 to the city since 1974. The first project was designed to help bring a new level of cleanliness to the downtown. Project GREEN provided 55,198.00 for a street sweeper: the GREEN machine. This was paid for by money earned by the GREEN Garden Fair and con— tributed by supporters of our goals. Our agreement with the city was that me would provide the machine, the city would maintain and operate its it mould be painted green and bear our logo. Unfortunately a city engineer ordered a machine that proved totally unsuitable for street cleaning. That was in 1974. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MONIES ..........

Five years have passed and there is no visible response to our cash -on -the -barrel -head i citizen effort to get a clean city campaign underway. u a - Our second cooperative effort with the city was the provision of $5,000.00 in 1975 to help upgrade the levels of maintenance for Project GREEN plantings as well as those established by the city. With this citizen assistance we expected that the City Council could provide matchino_ funds needed for adequate upkeep of an important resources the over- all appearance of our city. It is time nom for action to be taken to help our investment in the GREEN machine to became a visible reality. The Council could redirect this money to strenthen the thrust of the Clean City Program,soon-to'.come from the Chamber of Commerce.

Funds under this program may be used to hire capable in-house project managers as well as a broad. range of consulting services. The EPA provides 75% of the funding necessary and the participating city 25%. One-third of the city's 25% can be in-kind contributions such as staffing. The Resources Conservation Commission has endorsed the City's participation in this program during FY80 for two reasons. Presently the City has no comprehensive plan for solid waste disposal or recycling and secondly, because this offers an excellent opportunity for rational planning concerning solid waste to take place using expertise not presently available to the City. The Commission had not recommended this program to the City Council prior to this because they were not able to achieve a quorum due to the vacancies on the Commission. The program cost to the City is estimated to be $7,705, which includes $5,000 for the City's share of the consultant fee, $625 for additional commodities and services, and $2,080 for a one-quarter time person to handle the grant application. This $7,705 commitment by the City will allow up to a $23,115 grant from EPA, for a total allocation of $30,820 for the feasibility study and program development. Therefore, the Resources Conservation Commission is recommending the allocation of $7,705 for the City's participation in this program, in addition to the Level 1 of 3 recommended, for the Energy Conservation Program, by the City Manager's Office. This item was proposed to you in Level 3 of 3 of the Energy Conservation Program budget. Unfortunately, the Decision Package narrative accompanying Level 3 of 3 is incorrect due to a mixup when the Proposed Budget was assembled. Attached is the correct Level 3 of 3 narrative and a copy of the EPA Program Announcement and Request for Proposals for FY79. The FY80 Program Announcement may differ somewhat; however, EPA officials anticipate that the program as a whole will remain the same. In conclusion, the City Council established the Resources Conservation Commission with the directive to exercise broad responsibility for the development of resources conservation policies and to pay special attention to long-range planning and programming. As fitting with that directive the RCC has recommended the City's participation in the EPA Financial Assistance for Resource Recovery Project Development Program as the best method of 7-01 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOVIES obtaining long-range plan development in the area of solid waste recycling. bj4/10-11 cc: Resources Conservation Commission MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 410IMES 1 DECISION PACKAGE DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER UNIT: ENERGY CONSERVATION PROGRAM LEVEL 3 OF 3 ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: - Provides for the cash two-thirds of the 25 percent City funding commitment for the Environmental Protection Agency's "Financial Assistance for Resource Recovery Project Development..." program. - Provides for 1/4 time staffing to handle the application processing and submission. ADVANTAGES/BENEFITS: Serves to identify if the City of Iowa City should begin proceeding toward a resource recovery plant or rather implement source separation recycling.

SUMMARY OF COMMENTS: EP published a draft of tills notice In til July 31,' 1075 FEDERAL. REGISTER i order to solicit public comment. public meeting was conducted I Washington, D.C,. on August 18, 1978 for tile j e same purpose. This solicitation announcement reflects the comment received by mail and at Elie public mecting, to the extent EPA believe Practicable and consistent with the Intent of the program. Approximately 200 people attended the public meeting, submitted written comments, or both. Many comments were received and all were considered In developing tills final announce. ment• Ifoweveq those representing the views of only one hldlvldual or group have generally not been summarized here. (1) 66pibiitly o/ Planning agencies. Commentors suggested that the pian• ning process mandated by Section 4000 RCRA may not have been com- pleted In certain States by the time applications for tills program are re- quired, and that EPA should not re. qulro applicants to certify designation under 4000 for tilts reason. Other coot. mentors suggested that we broaden eligibility to Include planning agencies as well as Implementation agencies, and some suggested that Lilt, 4006 Process be waived for purposes of this Program, If only for a speciffecd length of time. The program announcement as pub. llshed here has. therefore. Included planning Agencies as eligible.. appli. cants, but only where the application Is supported by Elie appropriate Imple. m rdsiLlon agency'. Tills Is consistent with the Intent of RCRA Find of this program, since EPA financial support will be directed toward sponsors who have the Jurisdictional authority and resources available to bring planned Imilltles and programa; to fruition. EPA remainx committed to coordl. paled Stale and local solid IMMIX Plan— ning, m mandated under Subtitle U of RCRA. The Agency, therefore, Iles re- tained Elle requirement that appll• cants be designated under 4000. The concerti expressed by commen. tors over the pace of 4006 designations requires a response. We have, there• fore, staled that applicants under this program may submit evidence of Inter. Int designation where the State proc• ass has not been completed. This will enable. the State to Insure that such projects or programs as may be pro - Posed to EPA are consistent will, sound statewide Planning, even where that planning Is Incomplete.

Considerable comment was submitted on Elie EPA Position regarding follow -oil work by consultants who have recommended that such work be done In the first Place. The Office of Solid Waste In Previously staled Its concern over the Potential for or nppcnrance of, Impro. PrIeLY ht such situations.

(4) Schedule. Several cuminentors suggested that the time between solici- tatlon and award was excessive and should be compressed In order to make Elie funds available more quickly. Some commenlnrs thought that the suggrsted 75 days for prininstlon of Proposal:; was loo short, while others felt that It was too lots. Other cum• mentors consldcred EPA's 60 -90 -day review and selection period to be ex. cmive. This announcement requires submit• tal of prcuppllcatiun by December 15, 1978, which represents a response time of Approximately 00 calrndur days bnsed on the estimated data of publi• cation of tills announcement. ht addi• flan. EPA will attempt Ill romplete review and selection within 60 days. Considerable lime has been spent to simplify the format and shorten the time for submission, selerllnn, and award. ffow•ever, It Is .importantthat the quality of the selection process not be compromised. Thr, combined review by Soles, EPA Regional Office!;. and EPA headquarters docs ivilglhen the process somewhat, but. In our opinion. Is neccssmy and desirable. - (5) Cosl Sharing.

Some cennuilom felt that Lha strict requirement that two-thirds of an npplicanl's matching share be other than "In-kind" contribution was overly restrictive, particularly during the first year of the program when municipal budget cycles might not be coasislent with Lining of this program announcement. EPA feels strongly that n cash contribution by an nppll- cant Is all important indicator of appli- cant conunlpncnt and that In must hl• stances, provisions can be made wlLhhl Elie budgetary process to provide such a commitment.

The weights most fre• intently mentioned were those related to prior progress and urban economic distress. There was also comment that land disposal Issues should be less heavily rated nod prior progress weighting Increased, The weights have, therefore, been filtered slightly to decrease w•eighth,Z of land disposal factors by 5 pereel)Lage points, mid Ill. creasing prior progress by the same amount. (7) Nature o/ funding commitment by phase. During the pubilc meeting. It was suggested that EPA commit fiscal year 1979 funding to only one phase of a project and that later phases be funded train subsequent years' appro. prirtiuns. EPA pointed out that subse. quent funding was not guaranteed, find further that such an approach could erupt In loss of continuity due lu Lindh: of tiny subsequent funding. Nevertheless, pending review of all To. spon.ces, EPA reserves I.he option of committing fiscal year 1979 funding to nifty one plmse or to all phases of a project as circumstances dictate.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR RE- SOURCE RECOVERY PROJECT DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE PRESIDENIr'S URBAN POLICY PnOGRAAI ANNOUNCEMENT A. BACKGROUND AND PROGRAM RATIONALE Solid waste disposal Is a serious nod growing problem for urban nn•as, com. monly ranking as one of their most pressing concerns. At the manic time, solid waste Is also n growing resource of significant potential. LlJ Existing landfills are reaching rapac• Ry In many cities, and new environ• mentally acceptable landfills are often difficult to site. Thus, many cities are 'eager to move to resource recovery to reduce their land disposal needs, and at the same time, provide a supple• mental source of energy and materials to help satisfy municipal, industrial, or commercial needs. The move to re- source recovery also serves to reduce the demand upon the Natlon's'energy and materials resources and the Im• ports of these resources. Furthermore, these new commercial activities can assist In reducing loon• ployed by providing Jobs and new In. dllslrIaI opportunities. Source separa. tion programs offer the added benefit of Involving large numbers of citizens directly In a tangible effort to improve their environment. ' Progress In Implementing resource recovery across the Nation Is being made, but at a pace so slow that It does not match the growth In waste • generation. A major barrier to more rapid Implementntion is the fact that the procedures Involved In Implement. Ing resource recovery are unique and complex. These procedures Involve a series of technical, marketing, finan• clal. legal, and organlralioual factors which must be brought Together In a comprehensive, well slructured project planning and development proaysn. Problems In ninny of these areas are often referred to as "Insthuliunnl" constraints. Thus, despite the prem• sures of the solid waste problem, cltles often fail to accomplish the preparato• ry steps for the implementation of re- source recovery. Examples of key tasks which, when not properly nddressed, have delayed or prevented Implementation of re. source recovery facilities Include: ub• lalning n I�JE-.Wrr commitment .ffWE1111 of waste to a plant; consicIrrhim source senarallonns n c em7n car g; obtaining smux or o a Inlcresled parties, Ill. clud I� lie public; modifying, laws or ordinances to permit s kTTning of long- term contracts for waste supply or sale 47945 Of products; Insurinn thaty{r.allntrd pprocurem�P IitIyy are permitted under &tae aocal laws: obtaining life must economically advnnuµcuus fl• nane•Inn; developing a well -structured request for proposals which will stimu. late attractive, comparable bids, and; negotiating upprupH11112 Cck—'Iu1rho, arrangements for fnciIILy construction and operation.

City Engineer Gentlemen: , Bids were received on the above project January 22, 1979, The low base bid was in the amount of $196,170.60 and was submitted by Hanson Concrete Company, Washington, Iowa. The contractor's bid forms and a copy of the bid tabulation is attached. I Following discussions with you, we met with representatives of Hanson Concrete Company to discuss the dollar amount of their bid and the construction procedures I which they intend to use on the project. From these discussions as well as dis- cussions with other bidders and contractors who did not bid the project, the following specific concerns relative to the project were defined: 1. There is a significant risk involved in working in Ralston Creek at any time, and contractors place a high premium on this risk. 2. The potential for significant groundwater problems during the up- coming construction season is greatly increased due to the large amount of snow cover present. i 3• This is not considered a desirable project by contractors, and a i competitive bidding atmosphere does not exist. i We have discussed some specific procedural changes with Hanson Concrete Company which can be incorporated into the project to lessen the risk which the contractor must take relative to exposure to water problems. Accordingly, we have prepared the attached Change Order No. 1 which the contractor has signed and which will result In a net deduct to the base contract of $17,411.10. This will result in a contract price of $178,759.50. Considering the present snow conditions, the potential groundwater problems which may result from snow melt, and the strong concern expressed by contractors relative to the risk that they feel they have to take with this project, we feel that we could make some extensive design changes which may result in lower project costs if the project were rebid a third time. We are willing to make these design changes CEDAR RAPIDS DAVENPORT DES MOINES DUBUOUE FT. MADISON IOWA CITY VINTON MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140IIIES �1 City of Iowa City January 30, 1979 Page Two and rebid the project if the City so desires. However, considering the expressed lack of interest in the project, we cannot be certain that rebidding will result in a lower cost than the above negotiated cost. We therefore recommend the con- tract be awarded at the above base bid price as modified by Change Order No. 1. Yours very truly, SHIVE-HATTERY b ASSOCIATES 41,11-11 C�z dQe Robert J. DeWitt, P.E.

Approximately 11 people turned out'for the meeting which repre- sented 9 property owners. With the exception of two people, the resi- dents at the meeting were either noncommittal or for the project. Attached for reference is a list of those persons attending the meeting. Most people were interested in details of the project, not voicing any Particular concern regarding the cost or the amount of the assessment for each parcel. Evelyn Jensen indicated that she would not be in favor of the project. Her primary concern was that they already had frontage on Old Dubuque Road and that no particular benefit would accrue to their property. The other primary objector to the project was Daniel Berg. Mr. Berg owns three homes in the subdivision. He indicated his primary reason for not wanting the special assessment is that he preferred the "atmosphere" and the looks of the existing gravel roads. Among other items discussed at the meeting, the following items should be addressed: . 1.. Several citizens were concerned about existing water main and whether or not it had to be lowered. Frank Farmer will check into this situation; 2. The residents expressed concern that a "No Outlet" sign be erected so that people did not become lost on entering the subdivision; 3. Brief discussion centered on the method of access to the subdivision during the actual construction of the project. Upon learning the facts, the majority of the people in attendance believed that they would prefer no special efforts be made to gain access to Tanglewood. Rather than raise the price of the project, they would prefer to walk from Old Dubuque Road; and 4. A family named McCoy is in the process of building a new home next to the Gospel Meeting Room. Mr. McCoy indicated that no drive approach had been provided for their home on the proposed plans. I informed him that we would certainly provide a drive approach for the lot. Frank Farmer will deal with this matter. cc: Frank Farmer MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110111ES zDR 1 T MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 1 I 4 City of Iowa City To Whom it May Concern, We - Aage and Evelyn Jensen.- want to protest the cost of paving assestment at Ventura and Tanglewood. We live at 2050 North Dubuque Street. We can'understand the parties view, but we will never use this road and if they want it - they should bear the'cost.of it, not us. We are near retirement age and do not wish to add a.debt like this to our retirement years, and especially when we feel i't•very unjust: The road could have a "good grading and new rock" and it would improve it immensely, and it wouldn't cost $85,000,.-and:if the city has already budgeted for this - then we think they.should be responsible for the cost. -Sincerely, , Nr. & mirs.

Gibso RE: Harrison Street C osing $ Title Transfer As I have advised you over the phone, a hitch has developed with this matter. I understand that the City has taken those actions necessary to accomplish the vacation of Harrison Street between Madison and Capitol. The action was to be effective with publication which I understand has occurred. The City staff is now concerned about the status of the street from a liability standpoint. Legally it's not a street but in terms of physical reality it is. 1841 I have discussed this with Angela Ryan and she has agreed that the vacation action will be amended to be effective April 1, 1979. Actions which result in the transfer of title will be handled in a way to result in the transfer being effective the same date -- April 1, 1979. In the event all matters regarding transfer of title can't be accom- plished in time to meet that date the vacation ordinance will again be amended to a later date. The main point is that transfer of title is to occur at -the same time vacation occurs thereby removing obvious questions of liability and responsibility. As an alternative to the above, the vacation could be allowed to stand with the City taking action to physically close the street now; this option.is up to the City. Ms. Ryan, Gene Dietz and I also discussed the matter of utility ease- ments in the street. I understand that sanitary sewer and water lines serving two of our houses are present. I have advised both Ryan and Dietz that we would prefer that these easements not be continued with the transfer of title. This will place the responsibility for main- tenance of the lines in our hands, but, as we discussed, if problems develop we have the option of either repairing the problem or tearing the houses down whichever seems logical given the specific problem.

WASHINGTON SI. IOWA CIIY IUWA 52240 (319) 3521 I8(o.) January 26, 1979 PRESS RELEASE Statement by Neal G. Berlin, City Manager In recent days, there has been a great deal of controversy concerning Linda Eaton. The real issue has been lost in the rhetoric of emotion. The issue is the right and obligation of the City to establish non- discriminatory work rules and to direct the work of employees. That right is established in the Code of Iowa, Section 20.7, which provides that "Public employers shall have...the exclusive power, duty, and the right to ...direct the work of its public employees." In addition, the City has entered into a collective bargaining agreement with Local 610 of the International Association of Firefighters, AFL-CIO. This contract provides management the rights "(t)o direct the work of all its employees" and "(t)o develop, implement, and enforce work rules, safety standards, performance and productivity standards." These work rules cannot impose a special benefit or a special burden upon any employee or any class of employees. The City believes that these questions, which are both complex and emotional, should be resolved in as expeditious a manner as possible for the following reasons: FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES 217 PRESS RELEASE 26/79 Linda Eaton Page 2 1. The emotional nature of the issues has obscured the legal considerations relating to non-discriminatory work -rules. 2. A long court battle will expend a great deal of energy, in dollars and in personnel, which can be directed to more positive and productive efforts, both by the City and groups who are interested in Linda Eaton and her concerns. 3. A long court battle will continue an emotional debate which will be detrimental to the City and the Fire Department, will detract from the mission of the department, and may harm working relationships within the department. The effectiveness of the department depends upon a team effort. The firefighters must depend upon each other in life threatening situations. These relationships must be maintained. 4. The courts generally are not a satisfactory means for resolving sensitive, emotional, personal issues. 5. When vocal segments of the community believe that the City is being unfair or that its work rules are unfair, whatever might be the legal merits of the City's position, such pronouncements and attitudes will seriously detract from the City's commitment to carry out an aggressive affirmative action/equal opportunity program. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROI_AB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES M0INES I PRESS RELEASE- 16/79 Linda Eaton Page 3 i i 1 6. Linda Eaton's attorney has indicated in her court petition that one of the reasons for resorting to the Court is because "...no internal grievance" remedy exists. Therefore, for the foregoing reasons, the City proposed to Linda Eaton's representative on Wednesday, that both parties agree to submit all of the issues raised in the controversy surrounding Linda Eaton to a neutral third party for resolution by binding arbitration. This is a process similar to that provided by contract between Iowa City and Local 610, but which currently is unavailable to Linda Eaton because she is a probationary employee. Both parties wall be committed to completing this process as soon as humanly possible, and will accept, as final, the decision made by the neutral party. Also I am taking several other actions: 1. A group of City staff members will review the operational requirements of the City departments and the operational procedures and working rules of the departments to ensure that the working conditions and rules of the City are non- discriminatory. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 140INES PRESS RELEASE- ^_6/79 Linda Eaton Page 4 2. Concerned individuals and groups are invited to bring to the attention of and discuss with me, the Iowa City Human Rights Commission and the Civil Rights Specialist working conditions and rules of the City to ensure that these do not adversely impact women, members of minorities, or any other employee in a discriminatory manner. The Human Rights Commission and the Civil Rights Specialist will, when appropriate, make recommendations for change to the staff committee and the City Manager. Such recommendations will strengthen the City's affirmative action/equal opportunity program. These efforts and suggestions are invited. It is believed that these actions will provide for expeditious resolution of the current issue in a manner which will benefit both the City's interests and Linda Eaton, establish a process for the thoughtful review and consideration of the City's general concern for women in non-traditional roles, and provide a framework for ensuring that similar issues will not arise in the future. All concerned parties are invited to assist in encouraging timely resolution of the issues.

The first alternate consists of two dams as originally proposed. The upstream dam was for the sole purpose of providing an embankment for a subdivision road to pass over. The Planning and Zoning Commission and Planning staff have reviewed this and do not feel this dam is necessary. This alternate will be disregarded since it is higher in cost. The second alternate is for an 18 foot high dam. The design of this dam assumed that the Storm Water Management Ordinance would be in effect upstream. Since the rainwater would be stored upstream as the area developed, the dam needs to be only 18 feet high. The third alternate assumes that the upstream area would not be under the Storm Water Manage- ment Ordinance. By making the dam one foot higher the area can be exempted from the Storm Water Management Ordinance if desired. At this time, Public Works plans to give Stanley Engineering direction to proceed with.final design on alternate number three. At the same time the City will begin land acquisition from the four property owners involved. We will attempt to recover the higher cost of alternate number three by lessoning land purchase price if this is possible. By going to alternate number three, Public Works is not necessarily recom- mending that the Storm Water Management Ordinance not be in effect in the upstream watershed. There are still several reasons for keeping storm water management in effect even with the higher dam. These include: 1. Water running off individual subdivisions may still create a nuisance or cause flooding. 2. The additional storage provided on individual tracts provides an additional safety factor for the large storage dam. 2zy MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIOIIIES t 2 A question was asked about the extension of Seventh Avenue to serve Regina land. Plastino stated that he did not know what the intent of Planning and Zoning was on this matter but that it was known that one or more lots at the north end of Seventh Avenue were open until this matter was resolved. Plastino stated he would check on the status of this situation. There was a description of the appraisal process and how an offer would be made to land owners behind the Hickory Hill dam. There was discussion about why out-of-town appraisers were being used as opposed to local appraisers. Plastino stated that bad feelings had developed several years ago concerning local appraisers but the exact details were not known. A question was asked as to whether the area bordering the detention pond along Regina land could be fenced. The answer was affirmative. There was discussion about a sanitary sewer running east behind Regina High School. While the report from Stanley Engineers stated that this sewer could be put in at any time, some members expressed interest in having it installed at the time the dam was being built to avoid possible water saturation problems when water stored behind the dam frequently during the construction season. There was discussion about an area assessment. A question was asked as to whether the sewer behind Regina would cost more than a standard sewer. Plastino stated that it was likely since it would require extra strength pipe and water proofing of manhole covers. A suggestion was made that extra compensation would be due someone for these extra cost items. There was discussion about the extention of First Avenue. Plastino stated that it was the intent of the report to assume that developers would pay for the extension of First Avenue north of Rochester and would pay for any bridge construction costs over the branch of Ralston Creek. A member asked if the general areas of the property acquisition for Regina High School could be staked or a swath mowed through areas where there was only grass. Plastino stated this would be done. The meeting ended on the assumption that Regina Board members would present this information to a larger Regina body and a future meeting or communication would occur between Regina and the City. cc: City Council Neal Berlin Robert Vevera Jim Hall Dick Plastino Bill Sueppel Nory Wagner Bruce Glasgow Frank Boyd Larry Waters Msgr.

Storm detention ponds would aid in sediment control which will prolong the life and minimize maintenance of the large site. At this time, Public Works does not want to make a firm conclusion or recommendation regarding implementation of the Storm Water Management Ordinance. We are recommending, however, that we go with the higher structure to provide us with flexibility. Unless Council advises otherwise, Public Works will take the following action at this time. 1. Authorize Stanley to proceed with final design of the 19 foot high dam. 2. Begin land acquisition procedures. bdw3/10-11 cc: Ralston Creek File No. 18 a PII:ROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES TO: FROM: RE: DATE: January 23, 1979 Neal Berlin/City Council Dick Plastino, Director of Public (Yorks Master Street Maintenance Plan (Needed for`Informal CIP Meeting) Maintenance of City streets consists of mudjacking, repairing and replacing joint seal on concrete streets, crack sealing on asphalt streets, fog sealing, chip sealing, slurry sealing, and asphalt overlay. The City Street Division has a master street maintenance plan which ties these maintenance methods together. For purposes of maintenance we have broken streets into the following categories: 1. Major streets and bus routes (both asphalt and concrete) .2. Residential streets (both asphalt and concrete) 1. Major Streets (both asphalt and concrete) Year 0 - New street. Year 5 - Mudjack and repair joint seals as necessary. Year 10 - Rout out all joint seal material and replace completely. Year 15 - Mudjack and repair joint seals as necessary. Year 20 - Possible end of service life (cheaper to overlay than repair). Year 2T - Overlay with asphalt. Year 23 - Seal cracks. Year 24 - Fog seal. Year 27 - Chip seal or slurry seal. Year 29 - Crack seal. Year 30'- Fog seal. Year 33 - Second asphalt overlay.

This would call for a model approximately 8' by 81. Unfortunately even with this scale the vertical depth of the model would be only *2". The estimated cost by the consultant is approximately $5,000 to $6,000 due to the extremely large size of the model. If such a model would prove to be essential later in the project we might discuss this again but until the need is shown I recommend putting this on hold and will do so unless advised otherwise by Council. jml/10 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110114ES zz6 RECEIVED .:,., 2 21979 (?, Johnson county regional planning commission 0' 221/2 south dubuclue street, iowc city, iowc 52240 (319) 351.8556 January 19, 1979 Mr. Joseph W. Duncan, Director Office of Statistical Policy and Standards U.S. Department of Commerce Washington, D.C. 20230 Dear Mr. Duncan: Isabel Turner tra,o Emil L. Brandt oww This letter is written in response to the proposed criteria for designation and definition of Metropolitan Statistical Areae that were published in the Federal Register of November 29, 1978. Writing on behalf of the local governments in the Iowa City -Johnson County area, we wish to indicate our concern and opposition to one of the elements in the proposed criteria. We take strong exception to the recommendation that the total population of the SMSA must be at least 100,000 and offer the follow- ing points in support of this position: 1. The urbanized area minimum population requirement will continue to be 50,000. By increasing the total SMSA population requirement to 100,000 from the existing 75,000 minimum the significance of the urban portion of the SMSA is substantially reduced. The urban/non-urban ratio could change from the existing ratio of 50,000/75,000 (or 2:3) to 50,000/100,000 (or 1:2). Since the urban center is the principal focus of an SMSA it seems inappropriate to diminish the significance of the urbanized area. 2. Many important` growing urban centers that had a population in the 35,000-49,000 range during the 1970's and which could be expected to achieve the 50,000 population threshhold in 1980 may never be eligible to achieve SMSA designation because of the substantial increase of the minimum population requirement of the total SMSA. At the same time, some areae which had previously achieved designation but whose populations are still below 100,000 will apparently maintain their designation. The pro- posed criteria will be unfair to many growing urbanized areas throughout the nation. 3. By changing the population requirement outside the urbanized area to 100,000, the potential for treating similar urbanized areas in an incon- sistent manner is increased. The attached graphic shows a hypothetical urbanized area of 55,000. In Figure A the urbanized area is situated in the center of a county with a large geographic area. The area meets the proposed criteria and would be designated as an SMSA. In Figure B the urbanized area and the outlying population are the same as Figure A. However, the urbanized area is near the county boundary and several 227 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140INES 1 2. outlying communities are in the adjacent county. in this case the area would not be designated because of the location of the county boundary, although the population and other infrastructure relation- ships are similar to Figure A. In Figure C the situation is the same as Figure A. However, the county geographic area is smaller, and several outlying communities are situated in different counties. The area would not be eligible for designation. We contend that the above situation is unfair and every attempt should be made to minimize these possibilities from occurring when establishing criteria that are to be used in the designation process. The proposal to raise the popula- tion minimum to 100,000 will increase the potential for these situations to occur. In summary, we feel that the proposed criteria change will lead to unequal treatment of urban centers in the 50,000 - 100,000 population category. The existing 75,000 minimum population will reduce the chances of inequity. we recommend that the existing level be maintained. We also recognize that the original purpose of designating urban areas as SMSA's was to obtain important statistical information. However, to the nation's urban areae the primary impact of the designation has become financial, with millions of dollars in federal and state assistance funds tied to designation status. This fact alone makes it imperative that your proposed criteria treat all our nation's urban centers equitably. As a final point, changing the minimum size criteria for metropolitan areas from that employed in previous census periods will make analysis of statistical trends of the nation's metropolitan areas more difficult and less reliable. We'appreciate the opportunity to comment on the proposed criteria and would be happy to answer any questions you have about our comments.

BACKGROUND OF THE PROGRAM The Johnson County Regional Planning Commission, at the request of Iowa City, as well as other interested groups in the area, has undertaken a county- wide human services planning program. The program will provide input into the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan in the human service area and will provide guid- ance to other policy-making groups in the community on future directions of social services. Up to 75 percent of the financial support for the planning effort comes from Iowa City Community Development funds via a specific con- tract with the City of Iowa City. The balance of the funding is being pro- vided by the Regional Planning Commission. A Steering Committee was appointed by the Commission in early September, 1976 to develop a preliminary work program and to determine priorities for program directions. The committee met on a weekly basis into December when it submitted recommendations to the Commission. Steering Committee members were: Carol Spaziani, representing citizens; Florence Stockman, representing Johnson County; Neal Berlin, Dennis Kraft and Linda Schreiber, representing the Iowa City Administration; Doris Bridgeman, appointed by Iowa City; Faith Knowler, repre- senting United Way of Johnson County; Emil Brandt and Isabel Turner, represent- ing the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission. Staff assistance was provided by Emil Brandt, Regional Planning Commission Executive Director, and Mary McCue:, Research Assistant. After the work program was adopted in January, Constance Echternach was hired as the Human Services Project Director and Pamela Ramser as Assistant Planner. Ms. Echternach resigned in December, 1977, and Sally Baldus served as Project Director from January through July of 1978. Pamela Ramser replaced her in August, 1978 and is the current director of the program. At the recommendation of the Steering Committee, a Human Services Committee of the Regional Planning Commission was created to provide overall policy advice for the study. This committee, composed of approximately 35 members, includes 1) representatives of local funding bodies, (i.e., Iowa City, Johnson County, and the United Way); 2) human service board members; 3) staff from public and private human service agencies; 4) consumers of services and informed citizens; and 5) representatives of the University of Iowa. -i- FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES W II. GOAL AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAM w I i The goal and objectives of the human service planning program, as recommended by the Steering Committee and adopted by the Regional Planning ' Commission, are: 1 Goal: To make the planning and implementation of human services in ^ i 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 i 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 formulating programs and allocating resources. 4. To establish a mechanism for ongoing I~ 4 4 planning and coordination of human services, to include a way for keeping information on services and needs current and available. r Because the area of human services encompasses a variety of resources, priority areas needed to be set. The Steering Committee used the following criteria in selecting the priority areas for the first two years of the pro- ject: 1) the programs in each area would have some degree of local funding (i.e., from Iowa City, Johnson County, or United Way), thus assuring some local program ` leverage; 2). there was a feeling on the Part of the Steering Committee that .- substantial unmet needs and other related concerns existed in the program area; and 3) the study of the service systems could be accomplished within the time frame of the project. The Steering Committee which organized the planning effort was disbanded after formation of the Human Services Committee. The members of the newly formed Human Services Committee were each assigned to one of the four subcommittees established to deal with the four major areas - under study.

SERVICE AREA DESCRIPTION Child care service could be considered as diverse a system as the types of families and methods of care rendered to children. Two-parent households, single parent families, homes with one child or several siblings, homes with full and part time working or student parents - all are groups which have need of child day care. The care of children is offered in a variety of settings. Children may be cared for in their own homes, taken to another residence providing child care, or enrolled in a community child care center. Another facet of child care services is the wide range of ages and growth levels involved in the children cared for. For this reason, child care services must be geared towards various stages of developmental, physical and emotional growth and provide specific services such as after-school care for the older child. Children in Johnson County are cared for in many ways. The care situation usually depends on the particular family and child's needs. A family with par- ents working full time and school age children has different child care require- ments than a single -parent family with pre-school toddlers. Because the care of children is such a diversified service, the following terms should assist the reader in understanding the specific elements involved. When not attributed, the definitions were culled from research into local child care offerings. Child Day Care - The care, supervision or guidance of a child by a person other than the parent, guardian, relative or custodian for periods less than 24 hours per day per child on a regular basis. (Iowa Department of Social Services.) Day Care in a Family Day Care Rome - Day care services for children for a portion of the day, but for less than 24 hours, in a registered family day care home that cares for six or fewer children and meets state and federal child care standards. (Iowa Department of Social Services.) MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES too IBES P I MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 14011JES 2. .j Babysitter's Home - A self -perceived definition developed from responses to the local child care survey of day care homes not registered with Social Ser- vices. Respondents generally felt the care they provided was of a more unstruc- tured sort than that offered in a child care center but still contributed to a child's development - particularly in the area of emotional growth and loving ,. care. (See Child Care Homes - Group B - survey results, P. 14.) Child Care Home - A self -perceived definition from responses to the local _ child care survey. The majority of these homes were not registered with Social Services. Respondents said they provided children with a regime of activities emphasizing physical, mental, and emotional development. A very definite sense of doing more than "babysitting" the child permeated these responses. (See Child F Care Homes - Group B - survey results, P. 13•) Day Care in the Home - Care in a child's own home for a portion of the day, but for less than 24 hours, provided by a person meeting state and federal child ... care guidelines. (Iowa Department of Social Services.) Day Care in a Licensed Center - Day care services for children for a por- tion of the day, but for less than 24 hours, in a licensed center caring for seven or more children and meeting state and federal child care standards. (Iowa Department of Social Services.) Infant Care - A highly specialized and personalized form of care for chil--- dren 12 months of age and younger. While many child care homes and centers care for infants along with other pre-school age children, expansion of infant care services has been identified as a community need. Before and After School Holiday Early Release Child Care - Primarily supervisory, somewhat structured care of children in grades one through six dur- ing those hours of the day when school is not in session and the parents are at work or school. This type of service has also been identified as a community need. While the myriad of services and child care needs may overwhelm the reader, parents are similarly faced with unraveling the service structure to find the most , L - compatible care for their son or daughter's needs. This profile does not intend to define the "best" type of child care available in Johnson County. The purpose of this report is to examine those existing services and outline additional community child care needs as perceived by child care providers and persons involved with the delivery system itself. _ MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 14011JES ■ PROBLEM DESCRIPTION Child care is needed by a family when either both parents or a single parent cannot be at home with the child.because of occupational or school -com- mitments. The absence of the parent(s) from the household for a portion of the day is a growing phenomenon across the country. . The percentage of working mothers in the nation's labor force increased from 35 percent in 1965; to 49. percent in 1976. Forty percent of the children in the United States under age six have working mothers or mothers seeking em- ployment. About 5.4 million employed women have children under the age of six, with this group accounting for nearly two-fifths of all working mothers. of that 5.4 million figure, 2.8 million had children three to five years of age, while 2.5 million had children under three years of age.l .A similar national increase in the number of working mothers-wi th chil- dren three to five years of age is apparent, with a rise from 27 percent in 1960 to 38 percent in -1971 to 47 percent in*1976. The labor force participation_ rate of women with children under three years of age rose from 27 to 34 percent between 1971 and 1976. In 1960, working mothers with children under three totaled 17 percent of the work force. 2, The increasing frequency_of households headed and supported by one par- ent is noted in the Labor Department's repott: _ "Mothers with husbands absent (widowed, divorced, separated) were more likely to be in the labor force than those with husbands, regardless of the ages of'their children. Even with very young children (under six years of age), mothers with husbands absent had a labor force participation of 56 percent. One of. every 7 families in the Unites States is headed by a woman. The number of children living in families headed by women more than doubled between 1960 and 1974. Forty-five percent of the children,born in 1977 can be expected to live in a single parent household be- fore reaching the age of 18.Today, women head more than 90% of single parent families."2 According to the Iowa Council for Children, national statistical pro- jections indicate a 32 percent increase in the number of working mothers with children under the age of five between 1975 and 1.985. 1"Working Mothers and Their children", U. S. Department of Labor, Women's Bureau, 1977, P. 1 "Working Mothers and Tieir Children", Op. Cit., P. I MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 3. V 4. Research by the Iowa Council for Children also found that: In 1975, 39 percent of mothers with pre-school children work outside the home in Iowa. -- About 53,000 Iowa families are headed by women. These families have an average income of $6,000. According to an Iowa Department of Social services estimate, in 1977 there were 100,000 children in Iowa potentially in need of daily child care.3 It should be mentioned here that the actual number of single parent households headed by men on a national or local level was not obtainable. However, newspaper reports of child custody case results around the country indicate that the occurrence of the single father is becoming more commonplace. A profile of child care services in Iowa was completed in 1976 by the Institute of Public Affairs and Administration at Drake University. According to that report, there are over 56,000 working women in Iowa with children under the age of six. The report indicates that, "there is room in licensed center facilities for only 15,032 of these children. The number of children cared for in unlicensed and unregistered centers is not known."3 Statistics on Johnson County's future growth and age breakdowns are available from several sources. These figures generally indicate the child care needs of working or student parents with pre-school age children. A report compiled by Russell Lenth uses an already established percen- tage figure of Iowa City pre-school children and number of working mothers in Iowa City. This figure of 49.1 percent of pre-school children in Iowa City with working mothers, was reached by Dr. Ruth Updegraff in her 1964 study of child �. �. .. care services in Iowa City. The 49.1 percent figure was applied to 1976 school censuses from the ne Tree Community School districts Iowa City, Clear Creek, Solon and Lo . At that the age 1 percent toof six rted in these27 censuses time, there were 4,427 children under as residents of Johnson County. Applying 49 that there were 2,175 pre-school children with working mothers in Johnson County ~ during 1976. 311Child Care in Iowa: A Profile of Services", M. J.

B4 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DLS MDIMES 5. The 49.1 percent figure was also used as an estimator for the 1978 school censuses of the Iowa City, Solon, Clear Creek and Lone Tree school districts. This computation showed 2,057 pre-school children in the county with working mothers, a decrease of 118 from the 1976 calculation. The above calculations provide only a general baseline estimate. Updegraff's 49.1 percent calibration was derived from Iowa City pre-school fig- ures and the reported number of working mothers in Iowa City. Lenth observes, "...nor does this include children from single g parent/father families, nor children whose mothers go to school. Let us assume then that this is a conser- vative percentage to use.5 1. 1 Updegraff's study notes in addition that, "The U.S. 1960 census showed that Johnson County had a higher percentage of married women in the labor force than did any other county in Iowa. There were, percentage -wise, more working mothers with children under six"6 years of age Another element inthe'likely conservatism of the 49.1 percent figure is'the increase of women "students from .. _.....:.. the early sixties seeking professional careers and using the University's aca- demic resources to achieve this. Other resources indicating the level of child care needs are county birth rates. The Iowa Department of Health's section on Vital Statistics says that an annual average of 1,050 live births occurred in Johnson County from 1972 to 1977. The figures for Johnson County are shown in Table 1.

University of Iowa Hospital reports a slight decrease in the number of births over the last two,fis- cal years. The majority of Johnson County births occur at Mercy Hospital...

The 2020 prediction estimates an increase of 326 (total of 5,913) children aged 0 to 4 years, a decrease of 312 (total 5,169) for ages 5 to 9 and a decrease of 542 children (total of 5,324) in the 10 to 14 year age bracket. These figures are presented in Table 4.

It is reasonable to assume there has been no decline of working or student parents with young children in Johnson County. Current economic conditions combined with. the increasing.phenomena of both single parent families and two - career families, produce a situation where the need for child care is not likely to lessen.

SERVICES PROVIDED/POPULATION SERVED The Iowa Department of social Services, Iowa City Office, serving Johnson County (DSS) is the registering agent for child care homes and centers in Johnson County. Local residents offering child care services which are funded through the federal Title XX program in their homes must be registered with DSS. As of October 31, 1978, there were 83 Family Day Care Homes registered with the DSS. There are 142 children in Johnson County receiving child care services through Title XX funding. Of that number, 75 are in Family Day Care Homes and 67 in Child Care Centers. (Title XX figures from September 30, 1976 DSS records.) Child care centers in Johnson County number 33 as of October 31, 1978. (See Appendix A for complete listing.) These centers differ in the type of care offered ranging from structured activities to free play, in the times services are offered.(on a part or full-day basis), and in the age groups served. Of these 33 centers, eight participate in the Title XX program to serve children from low-income families. Some centers accept infants, others do not. Some centers provide before and after school care while others prefer a consistent, full-day pace. Three methods of surveying local child care opportunities were used in this study to determine the availability of various types of care: Child Care Centers: Late last year, a questionnaire was mailed to child care centers in Johnson County. The list of centers in operation was obtained from Community Coordinated Child Care (4 C's). Twenty-three centers returned the survey to form a data base for this group. Family Day Care Homes: Another questionnaire was mailed last year to Family Day Care Homes registered with the DSS. This list of respondents was expanded in August 1978 with an updated list of providers from the DSS, bringing the response group to 35. ChildCom, are Homes: The same questionnaire used for Family Day Care Homes was employed for another child care group. It was felt many children in the community were receiving care at provider's homes who were not registered with the DSS. Reasons for not registering included not wanting to take care of children who were Title XX recipients and reluc- tance to register with a government agency. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1401t1E5 9. Accordingly, a sample group was developed from those persons advertising child care services in the Iowa City Press Citizen for the month of August,1978. This "child care homes" group of 19 respondents were asked the same questions as the Family Day Care Home group. A telephone inter- view was conducted as only the respondents' telephone numbers were avail- able in the newspaper advertisements. Several questions to probe the res- pondents about why they were not registered with the DSS were included at the end of the original instrument. Three of the 19 respondents in the Child Care Homes group were registered with the DSS but had not been surveyed in the previous effort. These responses are analyzed with the Child Care Home Group. A total of 23 child care centers were surveyed and a total of 54 residents providing home-based child caro in Johnson County were interviewed. Family Day Care Homes and Child CareHomes The responses of the Family Day Care Homes (Group A) and Child Care Homes (Group B) are shown in Table 5. Both,groups of home providers were asked the amounts of their fee schedules for child care. :results indicate that providers in Group A,and Group B charged a'slightly higher rate for child care funded through Title XX than for care paid for with parent fees. Members of the committee preparing this report speculated that this fee difference may be attributed to the Title XX rule whereby fees are not paid when the child is not at the provider's home. Whereas most providers charge a fixed fee for private paying clients to cover a child's absence, the loss of Title XX funds with the child's absence was cited by sev- eral home and center providers as a problem in meeting operational costs of care as well as budget requirements for such items as food and toy purchase.. Information on fee structure is presented in Table 6.

Hours of Child Care Service - The time period from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. was used as a general baseline of child care operations to correspond with most - parents' working hours. Four of the 54 responding child care home providers offered care outside of this time frame. It appeared those four respondents' hours of operation fit local shift schedules, such as 2:50 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. in one surveyed case.

Some respondents noted that parents of infants under their care often brought the infant's own food or formula. -' Both the Family Day Care Home Group and the Child Care Homes Group were asked if they were interested in organizing with other child care providers and what they perceived as their most pressing problems as child care providers. These responses are presented in the Unmet Needs section of this profile. Providers in the Child Care Homes Group B were asked if they considered themselves to be babysitters or day care providers. Of those respondents _ answering the question, ten said they considered themselves babysitters while six called themselves day care providers. The self -defined day care providers ` felt they did more than "babysit" the children. Individual responses included MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MONIES ■ s 14.

(See Appendix D for Social Service Requirements of Family Day Care Homes.) Child Care Centers Twenty-three local child care centers answered a questionnaire mailed n late 1977- (See Appendix A for complete list of centers.) These centers offer a variety of child care services ranging from half-day to full-day sessions and MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES ls. from a cooperative arrangement to a pre-school or day care center schedule. Nineteen of the 23 centers said they directly provided developmental education as an integral part of their program; 11 said they indirectly offered a physical health component. Nine said that special therapies (speech and hearing) were a direct service, while four said that these were an indirect component of their services. Nine indicated that they provided social services for the family as a direct component, while four said such services were provided indirectly. Ten said mental health was an indirect component of service; one said it was a direct service. Six centers said career development was an indirect component of service. Nineteen of the 23 centers said that they were not planning to expand services, hours of operation, or client capacity. In order of highest number of responses (in parentheses), the most frequent requests received by the centers were for: all day care (8), be- fore and after school care (8), care of sick children (6), Title XX slots (4), infant care (2), transportation assistance (2), weekend care (1), and summer care (1). Seven of the responding centers had Title XX contracts with the DSS, whiel 16 did not. Two of those centers without contracts noted that they were contemplating application for one. Sixteen of the centers said they have not been asked to refer Title XX eligible families elsewhere. Eleven of the 23 centers said that licensing and review procedures of their programs were conducted by various governmental agencies; nine said their centers were evaluated by the DSS; three were reviewed through state fire inspection procedures and one said it was evaluated by United Way of Johnson County. Seventeen of the centers said they thought a program review was useful. Child care centers registered with the DSS are expected to meet certain standards of operation. (See Appendix'E for list of requirements.) Seventeen of the centers said they did not have a sliding scale fee basis, while five responded that they did have one. Places to which clients with special needs are referred or referrals made when a center is operating at capacity (followed by number of respondents)were: 4 C's (5), Area Education Agency (5), other child care centers (5), and MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MIRES 1 W f; 16. the Department of Social Services (4). The sources of referrals to centers, followed by the number indicating each source, included the Department of Social Services (6), parents (6), 4 C's (3), area physicians (2) and Area Education Agency (1). The majority of clients served by the responding child care centers reside in Iowa City. This is logical, since most of the centers are located in Iowa City. Nineteen of the 23 centers said that less than ten percent of their clients were from Coralville. Those centers located outside of Iowa city cared for children living in the county's more rural areas. Child care center providers were asked what percentage of their clients-� were in the following age categories: 0-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5 and 5-12. Table 7 shows the number of respondents indicating what percentage of the children w N1 served is in each age category. The majority of child care centers appear to care primarily for children between the ages of two and four. !-1 Twenty-one child care centers said they served a total of 1,380 children during their preceding respective fiscal years. Twenty-two centers said they Fa cared for a total of 929 children at any given time last year. This averages 14 - out to 42 children per child care center. Fifteen centers indicated they had F� a total of 260 children needing child care services on theii waiting lists. t-1' Conspicuous by their absence in this profile are the comments and con- cerns of parents whose children are in the local child care delivery system. y rl To get this cross-section of responses would have required a full-scale survey which is beyond the scope of this study. �i fd qj { �I I m HI rl M i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES I40111ES 6..A Wmad OWN" Nona PwAmm N� 010" ommm inn" WAMIR 0"" 23 10 9 V0) 9 7 6 C4 5 tw 0 4 3 2 1 of Group AGE GROUP TABLE 7 CLIENT PERCENTILES ACCORDING TO AGE AND NUMBER OF CENTERS SERVING THOSE AGE GROUPS MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MONIES �iGiO��C��iiO u�:��nn�i�i�� nni N 1111111 III oi ��iiiiCi ,inii �l11,E mom MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MONIES 18. Ancillary Child Care Services Several community organizations and groups are involved in the child care delivery system in a more supportive role rather than direct service. These groups assist in improving the quality of child care through educa- tion, actual supplies or providing a support network for the providers themselves. The groups include: Resource Library Project (Toy Bank) A grant from the Hawkeye Area Community Action Program (HACAP) enabled local teenagers to be reimbursed for their toy -making services this past sum- mer. The toys are now part of a Resource Library Project which has recently opened at Center East. The toys available through the resource library are '- geared for learning rather than amusement purposes. Educational materials ' such as peg boards, counting boards, number books and puzzles will be avial- .r able on a check-out basis. A basis problem at the present time is funding for staff. The library is sponsored through the Inter Day Care Council which includes Friendship, Alice's, Boleo, Dum Dum and University Parents child~ care centers. A memo will be sent to child care home providers inviting them to par- ticipate. Toys and materials may be checked out by members for a two-week ti period. A five dollar monthly fee will be required for membership. This will be used to cover breakage and replacement costs and make new purchases.. The center is open twice a week'for three hours each day. Community Coordinated Child Care (4 C's) Four C's began in 1972 as part of a nationwide effort to stimulate citizens to identify and implement plans for meeting the needs of children I in their community and to achieve the goal of quality child care. The 4 C's Committee provides child care information, educational materials, and work- shops to teachers, child care providers and parents. ~ The group's information service includes a directory published yearly with program explanations and a map of the licensed Early Childhood Centers of Johnson County. The directory assists families in finding the child care center which best meets their individual needs. various pamphlets and articles giving criteria of what to look for in good child care are available from 4 C's. The coordinating secretary of 4 C's assists individuals with child care needs or problems. 4 C's also maintains contact with state and national organizations involved with child care issues. i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MoI11ES 19. Projects planned by 4 C's for 1978-1979 are a 4 C's Digest and a series of workshops. The Digest is published quarterly with summarized -, articles from child care journals and periodicals. It also has sections i on creative ideas for parents and teachers and ways to meet specific children's needs. Training workshops for child care providers and parents are given on topics requested by the participants. jAfter -School Elementary Recreation Program (ASERP) The After -School Elementary Recreation Program (ASERP) began after a 1970 Iowa City community survey indicated that young people were not using their leisure time constructively. The program, sponsored by the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department, intends to develop a variety of skills in children by offering diverse programs such as: soccer, astron- omy, dramatics, puppetry, macrame, and nature appreciation. ASERP is not considered to be an after-school babysitting service since most classes are offered only two to three times a week and end before 5 p.m. There is slight cost for some classes, although program fees for low income children will be paid by Social Services. Some program instructors are paid while other programs are led by volunteers. i The 1978 fall enrollment in the ASERP program was 302 students in grades one - through six. i Johnson County Family Day Care Association The Johnson County Family Day Care Association was formed in August 1 1978 by local child care home providers. A major impetus for the associa- 'I tion's formation was to developa referral network both for providers need- ing children and for parents needing child care. -- An emphasis on quality child care is part of the group's goals in educating both parents and providers according to the group's organizers. Educational information and group support is also offered for provider's with problem children as well as providers' back-up for emergency care. The group is also open to parents. Iowa State University Child Development Training Program Numerous local home providers and child care center personnel have par- . -' ticipated in training programs offered by the Department of Child Development at Iowa State University. The training program is funded from the Title XX formula — grant training program through the Iowa Department of Social Services. Classes I are held durinq the evening at convenient locations throughout the state. Judith Baron is the trainer for the Iowa City -Cedar Rapids area. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES k The training programs cover several areas of child growth and development and are divided into three parts: Creating A Safe and Healthy Learning Environment, Providing Chrriculum Experiences and Nutrition. A variety of equipment for young children is offered on a check-out basis to participating providers. The training program also affords providers an opportunity to meet other persons also caring for children. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES w 20. -- J UNMET NEEDS 21. There are several areas in which a greater number of resources for child care may be needed. These include care of children whose parent(s) work in- volves time schedules which are not the usual eight to five o'clock time period and overnight care for small children and on an emergency basis. Not addressed in the survey is the role of local working establishments, such as factories, in being supportive of working parents with children needing care during odd hours of the workday. The concept of child care offered at the parent's work site has been tried in other cities with varying degrees of success Child Care Home Providers The particular needs and constraints experienced by child care home pro- viders are discussed below. Responses of Family Day Care Home Group A and Child Care Homes Group B from the survey are combined. The question about organizing with other child care providers produced the category of Informational and Support Needs, as expressed by the providers themselves. Informational'Needs included: 1. How to better understand and respond to children's moods. 2. Different ways of taking care of children, providing interesting activities. 3. How to deal with children from broken homes or those going through the upheaval of divorce. 4. Menu planning and different ways of fixing appealing, nutritious and cost-effective meals. 5. How to deal with both children and parents in instances of parental neglect, concerns about a child's cleanliness and health, and/or parents not picking up their children on time or paying the provider regularly. 6. Disciplining older children while also caring for younger ones. Several respondents said they were currently involved with local provider groups such as the Johnson County Family Day Care Association. Their reasons for participating were for exchange of ideas and mutual support as child care providers. A category of On -The -Job Needs was developed and includes providers' responses to the survey question about their self -identified problems and needs. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 22. On -The -Job Needs included: 1. The lack of indoor activities for small children (2 to 5 years of age) in the winter. The Iowa City Recreation Department was men- tioned by several as a service needing expansion to meet these varied demands. 2. The Iowa City Public Library was cited as a service which needs to get out to the people more, particularly during the winter. Providers said the logistics of "packing -up" a group of small children for a library trip discourages usage. The need for a bookmobile was mentioned. 3. Need for a toy bank with play equipment and books along with some means to meet the high cost of replacing toys by the provider. 4. General scheduling of types of activities to motivate children and occupy their time in a learning environment. 5. Expense of liability insurance for providers to cover their homes,' equipment and general premises. 6. Community education about the service demands of quality child care and an appreciation that child providers do not usually undertake the care of children due to profit motivations. Many providers surveyed conveyed feelings of frustration with their work. A sense of being perceived by the general public and even by parent clients as low -skilled workers was conveyed by a number of providers. In actuality, a significant portion of the home providers were previously employed in occupa- tions such as elementary teaching, child development, nursing, nurse's aides and occupational therapy. It seems probable that many home providers left the so-called traditional work force after having a child of their own. Child Care Centers Trends in child care service and problems with delivery were generally contained within a cost versus quality framework. Several centers noted that higher costs of operation proved a problem, with trying to pay staff members a decent wage while simultaneously keeping child care fees down for clients. Ir MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES I 23. A need for a more supportive community base and increased financial support was mentioned, particularly in the area of providing better staff training. "Is the availability of resources keeping pace with the demand for child care and the existing priorities of tax money where child care is concerned?" was a question asked by one center respondent to the survey. Respondents from child care centers were asked to check service, age and income categories based on their impressions of available child care in the community. The numbers recorded in the various sections (see Table 8) indicate the centers' responses in each particular caregory. The reader may note that a curve of sorts developed from the answers. Care for newborn to three years of age was named as a need by a majority answering the question, while care for older preschool children was considered fairly available. Child care needs based on income were not readily known by the center providers. Before and after school care was emphasized as a service available only to some families in the community. The fragmentation of child care delivery is partially due to the nature of the service, the types of care resources and client's needs and care in or centers on a full or part-time basis. However, some fragmentation exists because there is no central, coordinating process which serves parents and providers of all types. Resource Center A Children's Resource Center could address some of the existing gaps in service delivery already mentioned in this study and better coordinate those existing programs. Providers from both centers and homes have expressed a need for more toys and educational equipment. A resource center could house these materials along with nutritional information and menu ideas for home providers. Films, records and tips on how to handle different child behavior situations are but a few examples of the various items that could be available on a check-out basis. It was the committee's feeling that a resource center could also provide local parents with a wide variety of child education material and parenting information. Iowa City is considered a transient community because of the student population, with situations occurring where first-time parents may find themselves without a traditional family network available to answer questions or lend support. some local prepared childbirth classes educate MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES TABLE 8 AREA CHILD CARE CENTERS' IMPRESSIONS OF C014MUNITY SERVICES 24 Variables Available to to all who need it Available to most Do not Know Available onlyto Some Not Available _ Number of People not Ages being served who need 0 - 2 2 - 3 3-4 4 - 5 5-12 0 1 3 qti 1 2 7 12 12 5 2 2 2 1 5 13 10 q 3 q 1 0---- 3 the service I j Family Income Under $3,000. $3,000-$5,000 $5,000-$10,000 $10,000-$15,000 $15,000 6 Over 1 1 2 2 5 1 0 2 6 3 10 12 11 10 � 6 q 2 1 0 0 0 0 ,..i a,�+ I •�1 Before and After �•°f School Day Care' Before School After School Care of 0 0 q 6 10 11 1 p i K,I Sick Children 0 0 i i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES zs. Prospective parents up to the time of the child's birth• Other classes inform par- ents about the first few months of an infant's life and what to expect. Both Mercy Hospital and the University of Iowa Hospital offer prepared parenting courses. University Hospital covers newborn care in two of its five pre -natal sessions which are offered free of charge. New mothers and fathers may attend parenting classes on hygiene, safety and care of the sick child while mother and child are still in the hospital. The Emma Goldman Clinic also offers information to pregnant women about immunizations, childhood illnesses and expected physical and emotional changes in its late pregnancy course. A Resource Center could bring together different spheres of child care in a positive and productive display of community support. Ideally, the resource center could be located in an already existing community facility to promote general accessibility. Care of Sick children The issue of sick child care raises a spectrum of considerations, which can not be resolved with this study or even solved with a single program or Policy. While care of sick child remains essentially a parental responsibility, employers need to be enlightened about the existence of ever increasing numbers of families with two working or student parents and single -parent families. Sensitizing employers to this reality could result in flexible work hours for the parent when the child is ill or utilization of employee sick leave for a child's illness. (See Appendix F for background of local report on sick child care needs). Registration of Child Care Homes While it is impossible to estimate how many private residences are offering child care services and are not registered with DSS, it is apparent that they do exist in Johnson County. Parents and providers need to be educated about the utility in registering with DSS. Parents will then be assured that the home meets a criteria of quality service and providers will be able to participate in services like the federal food program and training sessirns. Registering one's child care home also insures referrals through DSS and a degree of community publicity.

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES I40INES 26. L{ In -Depth Child Care Study While this profile attempts to comprehensively examine the issue W of child care in Johnson County, there is a need for an in-depth, scientific study on the matter. A study on the par of Ruth Updegraff's 1969 study on child care is needed, where the findings reflect an empirical cross -sampling of both ! providers and parents. A definitive information base of population figures and child care needs lend credence to a planning process which addresses services in a qualitative, cost-effective fashion. t' Financial Base of Care w� An expanded financial base for child care centers is needed, along with Ci more staff training opportunitiesThere is a limit to what . i parents can pay for child care and a limit to what centers can charge. This Al condition results in facilities subsidizing actual costs b iY paying low salaries to x center personnel. This produces a situation where it is difficult to attract and keep quality+ j staff members. A 1976 survey of child care facilities in Iowa notes, "No r? is benefits whatsoever (health, sick leave, life insurance, retirement) were <a offered to child care personnel in 38.9 percent of the centers surveyed."8 ...( Title XX Changes sd The system of child care fees needs adjustment to include sliding scale fees for families whose income is just above Title XX guidelines. .., There is a need for legislative lobbying to change Title XX billing F, I ,I procedures from a daily basis to a monthly one, similar to the system currently used by residential treatment centers. Centers and child care homes holding Slots for Title XX children are penalized when the child is absent and are not inclined to seek Title XX funds when private paying clients assure a consistent —' budget and cash flow. Transportation - �� Local transit system regulations need to be altered so that children up to six years of age can ride free of charge. Presently, children must be five years or under which excludes children between the ages of five and six served by child care centers and homes.

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES I40INES F 27. Activities There is a need for consistent and conspicuous advertising of events for children, which could be utilized by parents, home providers and centers alike. A community calendar published in the local newspaper on a bi-weekly or monthly basis would alert interested persons. Some child care centers and home providers said that additional children's activities at the recreation center are needed. In addition, a better offering of program activities at neighborhood facilities which are closer to a child's care location would be optimal. Care For School Age Children The need for before and after school care for young children and care on early dismissal days and school holidays remains a key need noted by centers, child care home providers, and local child care professionals. Where this responsibility should be vested is difficult to analyze. Because the schools are a focal point of a day's activity for children in grades 1-6, it seems reasonable to explore the feasibility of offering such a program under the auspices of the school district, or at least utilizing school facilities. Funding such a program would require support of various community sectors: the schools, parents themselves, city government or community service agencies. The After School Elementary Recreation Program (ASERP) is offered by the Iowa City Park and Recreation Department for city elementary school children. However, the program's various activity offerings are not held on a regular Monday through Friday, 3:30 to 5:00 P.M. basis. Several of the homes and centers responding to the child care survey said they do care for elementary school children in the neighborhood. Usually, the provider was already caring for one or two younger siblings from the same family. It is this committee's feeling that the needs of children merit as much thoughtful consideration as those of other age groups. Some members of our community have either made a conscious decision not to have children, already have grown children, or are just reaching a stage of maturity themselves. However, as a community, there needs to be an expanded awareness of what quality child care means and its future impact on the quality of the community itself. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOIRES Priority Problem GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendation Agencies Affected Possible Funding Sources The following problems and recommendations relate to all of the service areas studied during the first and second years of the Human Services Planning Project. Because they relate to all areas, they will not be tailored to each individual area. However, their importance to each of the service areas should not be diminished due to this manner of presentation. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - COIMfUNICATION, COORDINATION, INFORMATION Inadequate communication and coor- dination among agencies providing service results in inconsistencies, particularly in the way clients with multiple problems are handled. Delays in the provision of service and misunderstandings or disagree- ments regarding service provision may occur when two or more agencies are involved with the same client. Regular meetings among agencies have been attempted but have been less than successful. Organizing and convening such meetings re- quires staff time and effort not available from any one agency. Inadequate knowledge on the part of service providers concerning the functions and programs of agencies can result in inapprop- riate referrals or lack of referral to a needed resource. in addition to clients getting lost in the system and not finding the Agency directors and staff pro- viding similar programs or ser- vices to similar client groups should meet together on a regu- lar basis to: 1) Share information about programs. 2) Explore solutions to common problems. 3) Acquaint them with the staff of other agencies to facili- tate the referral process and increase trust levels. 4) Share information on clients within the confines of confi- dentiality. Human Service planning staff may be assigned the.responsibility for calling and organizing such programs in order for them to succeed.

MICROFILMED BY JORM MIC-ROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110111ES GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS (Continued) Possible Agencies Funding Priority Problem Recommendation Affected Sources FUNDING General revenue sharing funds should be considered as a possible funding source for many of the recommendations. Wherever possible, recommendations should be met by agencies already in existence. This may involve coordination of existing services, addition of a new program or program component to an existing agency, or shifting the focus of a current program to meet an identified need. It is recommended that a new agency be established in response to an unmet need only when the efforts of existing agencies have failed or when it has been satisfactorily determined that it is not feasible for an identified need to be met through such efforts alone. This approach will help ensure that additional costs are minimized and fragmentation of services avoided. HUMAN SERVICES SUPPORT NETWORK A continuing program to provide support and assistance to local human service agencies has been proposed by the Program Development Subcommittee of this project (December, 1978). This program would assist in the areas of coordination of agency services and data collection (see preceding Recommendations in this section). It would also provide for joint program and budget review by local funders of human service programs. (See Proposed Program for Implementation of a Human Services Support Network for further detail.) It is recommended that local funding bodies share the cost of providing this support network and that they require participation in this process by human service agencies applying for funding locally.

That 1 six children may be in a home when the provider's pr( not counted as part of the six. This runs counter tc social service requirements that all registered and r care homes may not have more than six children of prc government requirements include the provider's pre-sc total. Title XX is a federally funded social services through the U. S. Department of Health, Education and allocates Title XX funds to the states, usually based Title XX money is matched with local government fundi money from the private sector such as United Way fund According to the State of Iowa's Title XX plan June 30, 1979, Iowa receives 33.5 million in federal 2.7 million from the federal government's 100 percent The range for Iowa Department of Social Service, child care is from $4.65 to $9.00. Most Title XX homy rather than a weekly rate. A possible reason why som higher than those for private fee payers is that Titl, for services that are not rendered. For example, whet is taken care of in a provider's home with Title XX fl misses that payment as part of his or her child care i payers are obligated to pay for those days missed by 1 or any other reason. Accordingly, Title XX fees are perhaps a little days the child will be absent, but also enable the pre budgetary and operational cost needs without severe fl FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLE CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140111 47. , 48. 94 w About $90,000 in Title XX child care funds for both homes and centers will be available to Johnson County, estimate local social service officials. w This amount will be met with a 25 percent match in funds from United Way and county government contributions, bringing the total of child care funds for w the county to $112,500. Currently, two Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) recipients are employed at local child care centers. Salaries for these personnel are paid with WIN (Work Incentive Funds). A child care worker's position is one of the jobs funded through WIN monies for low income persons. A participant ' in the WIN program can select the job of child care worker as one in which ; he/she desires training. Participation in Title XX funded programs, including child care, is based on a family's income. A sliding scale fee payment is used for families •- whose income is above poverty level, but still below minimum income standards. For example, in Iowa a family of four must have a gross monthly income below i $957 for eligibility in Title XX funded child care services. Family day care homes and licensed centers registered with Social Ser- vices are eligible to participate in publicly funded child care services if meeting the following criteria: families are public assistance recipients or whose gross monthly income qualifies within Title XX guidelines; parents are in training or employed; child is mentally or physically handicapped and par- ents are unable to provide adequate care; care is needed as part of a protec- tive services plan to reduce family stress and a need exists because mother r... or caring adult is absent from home due to hospitalization, desertion, illness _ or death. Family day care homes receiving federal fund payments through purchase of service contracts with local Social Service Departments must also adhere to the following federal stipulations: 1. "Infancy through six years. No more than two children under the age of two and no more than five in total, including family day care provider's own children under 14 years old." ^- 2. "Three through 14 years. No more than six children, including family day care mother's children under 14 years old." i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MONIES 49. APPENDIX D DESCRIPTION OF REGULATIONS AND PROGRAMS FOR FAMILY DAY CARE HOMES A child care or babysitter's home may be listed by the local Social Services Department as part of a child care referral process. These homes may or may not receive federal funds tc cover payment of child care services. A Certificate of Registration is issued by the local Social Services Department to homes which apply for one. A self-evaluation form is completed by the child care provider for registration. This pro- cess is an optional one for child care providers, although it does enable the provider to be placed on a referral list for persons needing child care services. . According to the Iowa Department of Social Services, family day care homes are the most frequently utilized method of child care in the state In many communities, and especially in rural areas, family day care may be the only type of child care available. A family day care home or child care home is considered to be an optimal environment for infants, toddlers, and sibling groups in a neighborhood -based arrangement. A family day care home is evaluated in seven areas by Social Services in determining eligibility for certification. Certified homes are then able to participate in subsidized child care services offered through Title XX. Areas of operation for which each home is evaluated include: qualifications, safety, program activity, number of children, discipline, nutrition and record keeping. In issuing a Registration Certificate, the State is publicly stating that the provider has certified in writing that minimum requirements are and will be complied with in all areas of family day care home operation.

APPENDIX E DESCRIPTION OF IOWA REGULATIONS AND PROGRAMS FOR CHILD CARE CENTERS Under the Iowa State code, the licensing of child care centers is under the purview of the Iowa Department of Social Services (DSS). Accord- ing to the state code, a license is issued when a license application or renewal is filed with the appropriate social services department and when the center making application meets state health and fire requirements and complies with minimum requirements of the DSS regulations. The Iowa DSS defines group care as a specialized form of child care in which an overall service to children requiring daytime care away from their homes is provided in an organized program which protects and promotes the development of the child as an individual and as a member of a group. A center is defined as a facility providing child day care to seven or more children. Child care centers are considered to be important resources for child care for children who must be separated from their families for a part of the day.. It is emphasized that child care is in no way a substitute for the home nor does it supersede parental rights, responsibilities and rela- tionships. Rather, it is an effort to assist the parent in fulfilling his or.her responsibilities for protecting the child and providing opportunities for .his/her development. The DSS defines child day care as the care, supervision or guidance of a child by a person other than the parent, guardian or custodian for periods of two hours or more and less than 24 hours per day per child on a regular basis in a place other than the child's home. Child day care does not include short-term classes between school terms, a church -related instructional pro- gram of not more than one day per week, or programs administered by a public or non-public school system. The Iowa DSS lists seven areas of program operation which are evaluated to determine if the child care center meets minimum requirements for issuance of a license. Those areas are: administration, records, health and safety, personnel, physical facility, food service, program activity, and parental participation. A child care center is licensed by Social Services after the department has received the center's application and the facility meets the department's minimum operation requirements and fire safety regulations MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 101UES I 52. issued by the State Fire Marshal. The fire inspection of a child care center is to be performed by the local paid fire department of the State Fire Mar- shal. A child care center's application may be denied, receive provisional approval or full licensure, according to the DSS. Under penalty of law in Iowa, a child care center serving seven or more children may not operate unless it is licensed by the DSS. Legal ramifications may also apply to centers whose license has been denied, suspended or revoked. Centers operating under any of the above conditions shall be guilty of a misdemeanor with each continuing day of violation after conviction or notice from Social Services counted as a separate offense. OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR LICENSING OF CHILD CARE CENTERS BY IOWA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES Administrative 1.

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES NOIRES J 56 APPENDIX F 4C's REPORT ON SICK CHILD CARE NEEDS A recent information gathering project on the need for sick and conva- lescent child care was conducted by 4 -C's (Community Coordinated Child Care) Committee of Johnson County. The agency had heard recurring comments from health and teaching professionals in Iowa City about situations confronting families and schools when a child was ill. Consequently, an informal explor- ation was made. This was to determine two things: first, whether schools had problems with parents picking up their children when the children became ill at school and second, what kinds of problems faced parents when their child was ill and the parents worked or went to school. For six weeks in the fall of 1977, records were kept in a local elementary school and a local pre-school on the problems relating to children's illnesses and injuries occurring at school. Most of those were handled by the school nurse. This informal investigation indicated that when parents or another responsible adult needed to be contacted about a child's illness or injury, someone usually responded to the call and the child was picked -up if that was necessary. For six weeks in the spring of 1978, information was gathered about exist- ing problems in providing sick child care in families where both parents worked or went to school when an ill child had to remain home. Staff persons in two local pre-schools and two elementary schools called a child's home after he/she had been absent from school for three days and asked whether having to care for the child at home during school hours was creating a problem for the parent. Parents experiencing the most problems, ranging from inconvenient to severe, were for the most part in families where the mother was employed or attended school. In the majority of homes contacted, the mother stayed home from her job or class with the sick child. The father remained home in a few instances. Sev- eral of the mothers contacted said their employers permitted them to use their sick leave to stay home with the sick child. Concern over loss of pay and loss of job was expressed by some par-nts. This informal observation indicated that although there are an appreciable number of cases where children's illness caused difficulties for families, this is not a widespread problem. There were a few families that suffered MICROFILMEO BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOVIES 57 anxiety or loss of wages by the necessity of caring for the sick child. It should be noted that 4 -C's information gathering project did not include infants and the large number of pre-school children who are cared for outside of the home and not at a center. The report encouraged health professionals and home service agencies to address this need. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES U t 58. PPENDIS O POSSIBLE BARRIERS TO A SICK CHILD FACILITY* The notion of a facility to care for sick children has been discussed among child care providers, health providers, teachers, parents, and in- terested community persons. A myriad of problems and logistics confront this complex issue. Among them are the following: Predicting utilization of a sick children facility would be dif- ficult. The variability of numbers of sick children and types of illnesses requiring care would make staffing a facility dif- ficult and expensive according to need. For example, A cross -contagion factor would be considerable. children with a fever or pneumonia would be cared for in the with infectious diseases such as chicken same place as children pox or impetigo. Putting a child who is already ill in an unfamiliar setting (such as a sick child facility) might impede or slow down recovery. There would be a double cost factor for many parents already com- mitted to pay for child care, along with paying for sick child ildren would require attention care. Care needs of low-income sick ch and funding. The areas of liability and cost would be numerous. An agency or de- partment would have to assume responsibilitlevel of efor the facility S et ployees in case of medical emergency. would be needed for staffing of such a center as it relates to a client's medical needs is difficult to ascertain. A possible change might occur in several local pediatricians' policies of not tunnecessarily hospitalizing ahchild, when it is assumed the child i A sick child care facility could defeat the concept of low-cost, accessible child care. *Interview with local pediatricians group.

BACKGROUND OF THE PROGRAM The Johnson County Regional Planning Commission, at the request of Iowa City, as well as other interested groups in the area, has undertaken a county- wide human services planning program. The program will provide input into the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan in the human service area and will provide guid- ance to other policy-making groups in the community on future directions of social services. Up to 75 percent of the financial support for the planning effort comes from Iowa City Community Development funds via a specific con- tract with the City of Iowa City. The balance of the funding is being pro- vided by the Regional Planning Commission. A Steering Committee was appointed by the Commission in early September, 1976 to develop a preliminary work program and to determine priorities for program directions. The committee met on a weekly basis into December when it submitted recommendations to the Commission. Steering Committee members were: Carol Spaziani, representing citizens; Florence Stockman, representing Johnson County; Neal Berlin, Dennis Kraft and Linda Schreiber, representing the Iowa city Administration; Doris Bridgeman, appointed by Iowa City; Faith Knowler, repre- senting United Way of Johnson County; Emil Brandt and Isabel Turner, represent- ing theJohnsonCounty Regional Planning Commission. Staff assistance was provided by Emil Brandt, Regional Planning Commission Executive Director, and Mary McCue, Research Assistant. After the work program was adopted in January, Constance Echternach was hired as the Human Services Project Director and Pamela Ramser as Assistant Planner. Ms. Echternach resigned in December, 1977, and Sally Baldus served as Project Director from January through July of 1978. Pamela Ramser replaced her in August, 1978 and is the current director of the program. At the recommendation of the Steering Committee, a Human Services Committee of the Regional Planning Commission was created to provide overall policy advice for the study. This committee, composed of approximately 35 members, includes 1) representatives of local funding bodies, (i.e., Iowa City, Johnson County, and the United Way); 2) human service board members; 3) staff from public and private human service agencies; 4) consumers of services and informed citizens; and 5) representatives of the University of Iowa. -i- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOIMES II. GOAL AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAM The goal and objectives of the human service planning program, as recommended by the Steering Committee and adopted by the Regional Planning Commission, are: 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 formulating programs and allocating resources. 4. To establish a mechanism for ongoing planning and coordination of human services, to include a way for keeping information on services and needs current and available. Because the area of human services encompasses a variety of resources, priority areas needed to be set. The Steering Committee used the following criteria in selecting the priority areas for the first two years of the pro- ject: 1) the programs in each area would have some degree of local funding (i.e., from Iowa City, Johnson County, or United Way), thus assuring some local program leverage; 2) there was a feeling on the part of the Steering Committee that substantial unmet needs and other related concerns existed in the program area; and 3) the study of the service systems could be accomplished within the time frame of the project. The Steering Committee which organized the planning effort was disbanded after formation of the Human Services Committee. The members of the newly formed Human Services Committee were each assigned to one of the four subcommittees established to deal with the four major areas under study.

DATA COLLECTION AND PRIORITIES OF PROGRAM AREAS Data on human services and unmet needs was collected from a variety of local i resources through questionnaires, personal interviews, and group meetings. An -� effort was made to use data included in previous studies and surveys, both within --i and outside of Johnson County. The agencies and individuals contacted and the methods used are too numerous to recount here. This information is available through materials on file at the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission. The data which was collected has been compiled into fourteen service area �. profiles, the major sections of which are: Goal, Service Area Description, Problem Description, Service Population, Services Provided, and Unmet Needs. -� Recommendations were developed from the information contained in the Unmet Needs portion of the profiles. The profiles were then sent to relevant agencies for their review. Corrections submitted by the agencies were incorporated into the profiles. 1. Counseling I 2. Mental Health '1 3. Substance Abuse 4. Emergency Assistance to Residents 5. Emergency Assistance to Transients 6. Juvenile Justice 7. Adult Corrections 8. Protection of the Elderly 9. Child Care } 10. Nursing Homes 11. Developmental and Acquired Disabilities 12. Neglected/Displaced Children ;-� 13. In -Home Support Services 14. Family Planning Recommendations made for each individual service area have been assigned priorities by the Human Services Committee, Steering Committee, and Subcommittees. several general recommendations, relating to all service areas, have also been developed; these are reprinted in each of the profiles. There has been no formal -v_ IIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES tIOINES ranking of individual service areas against each other. However, of the eight service areas studied during 1977, the area of Emergency Assistance to Transients was informally given first priority. of the six service areas studied during 1978, the areas of In -Home Support Services and Child Care were seen to be of high priority, while the areas of Disabilities and Foster Care developed as low priority. -vi- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES GOAL The goal of this service area is to maintain and improve the physical status and functioning of the aged and chronically ill for whom independent living is not feasible and hospital care is not required but temporary or long term permanent care is needed. SERVICE AREA DESCRPITION The services in this area are A:r:igned to provide short-term and long- term care on a 24 hour a day basis to individuals who are unable to maintain independent living arrangements because of physical and/or emotional disabil- ity and for whom substitute arrangements are not feasible. SERVICE ELEMENTS Room and Board in a congregate setting; nursing services (professional and practical) under medical supervision; physical and occupational therapy; family and individual counseling; recreational activities; religious services; rehabilitation services; and informal education. This program differs from in-patient medical care in that medical treatment is less intensive and there is a lower patient/staff ratio. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION Nursing homes in the United States apply some form of supervised care for medical and medically related problems; the term generally embraces those facilities that offer skilled nursing care, intermediate levels of nursing care, and residential (personal) care. The function of the nursing home is to provide restorative care for convalescing patients and continuing care for the aged. A few nursing homes are limited to caring for convalescent children or providing special services for mentally disturbed patients. However, the U.S. Public Health Service estimated in 1969 that 88% of the residents in nursing homes and related facilities were at least 65 years of age.' The State Department of Health's regulations for the care of children are different than those for adults, and, therefore, none of the local facil- ities are licensed for the care of anyone under the age of eighteen. There are no known facilities in Johnson County that will provide long term care for those under the age of 18 with medical problems. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140MES -2 - Under Iowa Law there are three levels of long term care facilities: residential care facility, intermediate nursing facility and skilled nursing facility.2 The Iowa State Department of Health defines the three levels of care as follows: 1. Residential Care Facility means any institution, place, building, or agency providing for a period exceeding 24 consecutive hours accomodation, board, personal assistance and other essential daily living activities to three or more individuals, who, by reason of illness, disease, or physical or mental infirmity are unable to sufficiently or properly care for themselves but who do not re- quire the services of a registered or licensed practical nurse except on a emergency basis. 2. Intermediate Care Faciltiy means any institution, place, building, or agency providing for a period exceeding 24 consecutive hours accommodation, board, and nursing services, the need for which is certified by a physician, to three or more individuals who, by reason of illness, disease or physical or mental infirmity require nursing services which can be provided only under the direction of a registered nurse or a licensed practical nurse. 3. Skilled Nursing Facility means any institution, place, building, or agency providing for a period exceeding 24 consecutive hours accomodation, board, and nursing services, the need for which is certified by a physician, to three or more individuals who, by reason of illness, disease, or physical or mental infirmity re- quire continuous nursing care services and related medical services, but do not require hospital care. The nursing care services pro- vided must be under the direction of a registered nurse on a 24 hour per day basis. The State Department of Health, the Department Social Services, the Care Review committees and the State Fire Marshall's offff ice monitor each facil- ity. Information on these organizations is taken from the Care Review committee Manual published by the Iowa Commission on Aging. (See Appendix 1) Data from the 1973-74 National Nursing Home Survey conducted by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare estimated that there were MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES -3- approximately one million persons who were residents of nursing homes* in the United States in 1973-74. They resided in about 15,700 facilities providing some level of nursing care. The data collected by this survey showed the preponderance of women in nursing homes - about 708 of all residents were women. This fact was related to the greater longevity of women and to the dis- proprotionate representation of elderly women in nursing facilities as compared to elderly men. Nursing residents were found to be an elderly population with 899 being 65 years of age and 388 bein, 95 years of age and older. The mean age for residents was 79.3 A follow-up national nursing home survey was conducted in 1977 which included those facilities surveyed in 1973-74. Since this was a subsample of the facilities surveyed earlier, the estimates are considered provisional. The earlier survey excluded facilities providing only personal care or dom- iciliary care but the 1977 survey included these facilities. However, the impact of including these additional facilities was considered to be minimal since they included only 29 of all nursing homes in the 1973-74 survey. For the period May to December 1977, the provisional estimates indi- cated some 18,300 nursing homes with a total of 1,383,600 beds serving 1,287,400 residents. Proprietary ownership continued to dominate the nursing home segment of the health care delivery system with an estimated 749 of the facilities operated for profit. Non-profit and government nursing homes comprised about 269 of the facilities but had a greater bed capacity compared to proprietary facilities. About 34 percent of all residents were served by nursing homes operated under non-profit or government auspices. About 75 percent of the nursing homes in the 1977 survey were certified as skilled nursing home facilities (SNF'S), intermediate care nursing home facilities (ICF's), or both. The largest share of the certified facilities (459) were certified only as ICFs. Nursing homes certified as SNF's had a shorter median duration of stay (39 days) than did nursing homes certified only as ICF's (181 days). In addition, nursing homes certified as SNF's had about 133 admissions and 116 discharges per 100 beds, while nursing homes certified only as ICF's had about 59 admissions and 54 discharges per 100 beds. These differences thus indicate that patients in ICF's have longer lengths of stay. 4 *Excluded facilities providing only personal or domiciliary care. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES -4 - Another characteristic of nursing home residents found in the survey is that a greater proportion of the residents were widowed than were married, divorced, separated, or never married. When marital status of male and female residents was compared, 734 of the women were widowed compared to only 424 of the men. Only 84 of the women, but 224 of the men, had a liv- ing spouse who could presumably visit or be responsible for them while away from the facility. Data from the 1973-74 National Nursing Home Survey showed that the mean length of stay was 2.6 years and the median was 1.5 years. About 704 of the residents lived in proprietary facilities and about 304 lived in non-profit or government facilities.5 COMPARISON OF NURSING HOME RESIDENTS WITH U.S. POPULATION AGED 65 AND OVER It has generally been accepted that about 54 of the U.S. population 65 years of age and over reside in nursing homes and only 254 of those 85 years of age and over. Although females exceed males in the population of those over 65 years, the difference is far more pronounced among the nursing home population.6 The difference which occurs in the distribution of marital status in the two groups (non -institutionalized population and nursing home population) is significant. This is reflected by the fact that while 544 of the non - institutionalized population aged 65 years and over were married, only 124 of the nursing home population were in this category. About 374 of the non - institutionalized population 65 years and over have never been married, com- pared to 154 of the nursing home population. Another pronounced difference .between the nursing home population 65 years of age and over and the non - institutionalized population is in the age distribution. Whereas 834 of the nursing home population were 75 years of age and over, only 374 of the .non -institutionalized population were in that category. 7 PRIOR LIVING ARRANGEMENTS The National Nursing Home Survey of 1973-74 found that 594 of the residents were transferred from some type of institution and 374 moved from a MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MORIES a 71 I _1 J -5- private residence. Thirty-five percent moved to the nursing home from a gener- al or short -stay hospital. In comparison, a similar 1964 survey found that 126 moved to a nursing home facility from a general or short -stay hospital. The shift toward prior instituti:nalization is reflected in the fact that in 1964, 696 of nursing r•-; personal care home residents lived in private accom- modations prior to admissions. The increase in nursing home residents trans- ferred from hospitals is likely due to the introduction of Medicare and Medicaid in the mid 1960's.8 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ELDERLY IN IOWA AND JOHNSON COUNTY In 1970, 12.49 of the population in Iowa was 65 years of age and over compared to 7.09 in Johnson County. The state population in 1970 was 2,824,376 and the Johnson County population was 72,127. The over 65 population in Johnson County at that time was 5,013; of this number 1,986 were male and 3,027 were female. Of the total state population in 1970, 28.39 of those aged 65 and over were below the poverty level compared to 9.49 under the age of 64. Poverty households in Johnson County included 8,530 persons or 12.79 of the total pop- ulation. Of the total number below the poverty level 12.79 or 1,083 were over age 65.9 MEDICARE AND MEDICAID The passage of the Social Security Amendment in 1965 established Medi- nr' I, caid and Medicare. Medicare (Title XVIII) is the federal hospitalization (Part A) and medical insurance (Part B) programs for the aged and disabled. Medicaid (Title XIX) is a joint federal -state program covering health care for the indigent. While Medicare is administered entirely by the federal govern- ment (in Iowa, Blue Cross/Blue Shield Plans are the intermediary for Medicare Parts A and B), Medicaid is administered by the states under broad federal guidelines. In Iowa, Medicaid is administered by the Department of Social Services. Skilled Nursing Care Facilities are the only type of nursing homes eli- gible for reimbursement under the Medicare program. Medicare will reimburse on a "reasonable cost" basis for skilled nursing care. The Medicaid program in Iowa presently reimburses up to a maximum of $21.00 per day for nursing homes providing intermediate nursing care. There is also provision for care in a skilled nursing care facility for patients eligible for Medicaid who have exhausted their Medicare benefits or who cannot meet the coinsurance payments of Medicare. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1d0 RIES -6- W Because of the restrictive definition of "skilled nursing care" in the _ regulations and because of limits on the length of stay (100 days), Medicare covers only a small percentage of the total number of people in long-term ra care facilities. On any given day, only 78 of all persons in nursing homes �I '+ nationally have their care paid for by Medicare. " Under Medicaid, states do not impose limitations on length of stay in , nursing homes. Because of less restrictive eligibility requirements, Medicaid covers many more persons in long-term care facilities than does Medicare. Med- K� i .� icaid pays approximately 606 of the nation's total nursing home bill. In f Iowa for the year July 1976 to June 1977, of the total nursing home bill, "'• e Medicaid paid 46.88 (93.2 million) and Medicare paid 1.58 (3.1 million); private pay amounted to about 51.78 ($103 million). 10 o -.l CERTIFICATE OF NEED I Since July 1, 1978, a certificate of need program has been in effect. w i S Therefore, any plan to either add or delete any one of the three levels of i ' nursing home beds, intermediate skilled and residential, must be approved by I Ijj the Health Systems Agency and the Iowa State Department of Health. At present no onein the county has submitted an application for a certificate of need. The certificate of need program uses a formula adopted by the State j Department of Health to determine long term bed need. This formula is also used by the Iowa Health Systems Agency. The formula is based on past utili- u zation of long-term beds in Iowa,and it is likely that there will be revisions in the future. At present there are no federal guidelines in determining bed need such as those which exist for acute care institutions. 1 I There are two variations of the formula, one for rural counties and " the other for urban (SIISL) counties.* The rural formula in used for Johnson County, and determination of bed need is based on population projections of the office for Planning and Programming. (Figure 1) _ I *Rural Counties: - .09 (65+) + .0015 (64-) x 1108 = ltc bed need 1 Nursing (snf = icf) = 2/3 (ltc) Residential (rcf) = 1/3 (ltc) Urban Counties: r. .07 (65+) + ,0015 (64-) x 1108 = ltc bed need Nursing (snf + icf) = 2/3 (ltc)or(4/5 ltc) I Residential (rcf) = 1/3 (ltc)or(1/5 ltc) -� MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1d0 RIES i I I 1 j 1 FIGURE 1: NURSING HOME PROJECTED FACILITY NEED BASED ON PRESENT FORMULA ADOPTED BY IOWA H, ALTH SYSTEMS AGENCY, USING POPULATION PROJECTIONS OF TIIE STATE DEMOGRAPHIC OFFICE OF PLANNING AND PROGRAMMING.

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIOINES In addition to the formula components, there are several variables; which could affect final bed need determination. The following variables would justify a change in bed need according to Iowa Code 203.13 ♦ 1. Ratio of nursing beds to residential beds may go to an upper limit of four nursing beds to one residential with the appropriate justification. Justification for such a change may include current utilization,status of day care, etc. 2. The number of persons served as special clientele which has not �?! previously been calculated in the formula. 3. The finding that less costly, more efficient or more appropriate . alternatives to such in-patient care are not available and the de- -. velopment of such alternatives has been studied and found not practicable, (a.g., in-home health services, community nursing services, adult day care, congregate meals, etc.) 4. Additional bed need for patient care may be added to a county's �- bed need. That is, out -of -county residents may increase the bed need if it is determined that the county of origin from which the out -of -county residents are coming have an unmet bed need. By using the present bed formula and the population projections from the office for Planning and Programming, there is a need for additional nursing home beds in Johnson County. Population projections show an accelerating number of persons age 65 and over with a projected.three fold increase'by the year 2020.

None are considered ideal and all have deficiences. The Iowa Health Systems Agency believes that all bed need formulas should attempt to esti- mate the need for services, regardless of the prasent utilization of services or the present availability. After the numbers and types of services have been determined, they must be compared with what exists in order to measure the type and amount of change that will be necessary .14 Five common and general methods of determining bed need being studied by the Iowa Health Systems Agency are as follows. 1. The Hill Burton Formula Patient Days (base year) Population, 65 yrs. + (base year) x Projected Populat16n + 10=PBN* 365 .9 This formula has several weaknesses which are as follows: • It is based on current utilization. ,. • Only those 65 years and over are covered. • It:.will yield an estimated number of beds greater than what is needed, since it ignores other methods of car- ing for persons who require long-term care. • An automatic 906 occupancy rate is built in. 2. Ratio of beds to Population 65 years and over. This formula includes the weaknesses of the Hill Burton formula, as well as several others. Currently used ratios range from 35 to 80 beds per 1,000 age 65 and over for SNF's, and 15 to 40 beds per 1,000 age 65 and over for ICFs. These target ratios are set on national utilization patterns, which assume that present utiliza- tion is appropriate and does not take into account reqional vari- ations. 3. Use of average occupancy rate as a basis for estimation after a Long-term care facilities projects are approved until the occu- pancy rate in local facilities drops below the "desired" level. This method has all the weaknesses of the two previous methods. *PBN = Projucted Bed Need MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES ?10111ES MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1401RES -11- j 4. Estimate of need by number of patients on waiting lists. J This method is a poor indicator of need or demand due to several ifactors. Some of these are: Many persons are on waiting lists for several facilities; names may remain on lists long after the in - .7 dividual has died or no longer requires that level of care; it is j difficult to prove that patients on the waiting lists have been certified as needing the level of care for which they are waiting. 5. Patient surveys. This method, if properly constructed may be the most valid, but I there are difficulties involved in such a methodology. Some of J ' these are: • A clean cut and precisely worded defination of all levels of care (e.g., ICF vs. SNF) is necessary. i i� • It is expensive and time consuming. • It requires cooperation and assistance from the medical profession. • It cannot be repeated and updated as other methodologies. This means that collected data will tend to lay behind needed changes. I - • Surveys often yield good bed need estimates, but tend to be deficient in estimating need for non -institutional services due to problems with definitions of levels of care and perceptual pro- . _ blems on the part of the individuals being interviewed. SERVICES PROVIDED/POPULATION SERVED In 1970 the total population of Iowa was 2,824,376 with 12.4 percent -� .. being over 65 years of age. The over 65 population of Johnson County was 5,013 or 7.0 percent of the total population in 1970. In 1970 it was esti- - - mated that the county had experienced an increase of 500 people in the over J 65 population 15 It was further estimated 10.6 percent of the 1976 Johnson •' County population is over 65. Nationally, it has been estimated that 59 of Jthe elderly are in long-term institutions. If this percentage rate were -i applied to the 1976 estimated population of those over 65, there would be 'I .J approximately 275 Johnson County residents in nursing homes. Since there _. are 553 nursing home beds available in the County, it is possible that the number of Johnson County residents in nursing homes exceeds the national average. The number of non -Johnson County residents in local nursing homes - i is not known. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1401RES 9 -12- There are a total of seven nursing homes in Johnson County. Of these, five are licensed by the State Department of Health as intermediate care facilities, one is licensed as both an intermediate care and skilled care facility, and one is licensed as a residential care facility. (Table 1) UNMET NEEDS/PROBLEMS IN SERVICE DELIVERY Unmet needs and problem areas were determined by the results of a sur- vey using a questionnaire directed to nursing home admisistrators. In addition, a number of unmet needs emerged from committee meetings which have included meetings with nursing home providers and representatives of community agencies providing services related to nursing homes. ASSESSMENT OF BED NEED Most nursing home administrators did not feel that additional inter- mediate nursing home beds were needed. Only one nursing home indicated a need for additional beds at this level of care on the basis that they maintained a waiting list. one home had an average annual occupancy rate of 834 while the others maintained average annual occupancy rates of over 904. From the infor- mation available in the questionnaire it was not possible to determine why one home was underutilized while one maintained a waiting list. It is possible that a nearby retirement apartment complex increased the demand for this particular facility. The need for additional skilled nursing home beds was not documented by the questionnaire. Some nursing homes believe that their care is comprehen- sive enough to eliminate the need for additional skilled nursing beds. It is evident that there are various interpretations as to what constitutes skilled nursing care. The facility licensed for skilled nursing care maintained a waiting list and was aware of patients being placed out of county because of the un- availability of beds. University Hospital, Mercy Hospital and the Department of Social Services often place patients requiring skilled nursing care out of the county,with Cedar Rapids being cited as a frequent place of referral. To meet the need for skilled nursing home care for a hospitalized patient, Medicare coverage is extended to permit a patient to remain in the hospital, but only if they live in Iowa City. This alleviates the problem of inadequate MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES tIOIIIES "1 I M; �-r w, .i F:a ) ICS TABLE 1: LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES IN JOHNSON COUNTY FACILITY LOCATION, OWNERSHIP BED CAPACITY LICENSE CERTIFICATION COMMENTS MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES j Beverly Manor 605 Greenwood Convalescent Iowa City, IA.

At least two of the homes in the survey indicated that they could qual- ify as skilled facilities but did not desire this certification because of the burden of meeting stringent regulations and as a result of reports of retro- active denial of Medicare benefits. However, the latter situation is felt to be less of a problem at the current time. In addition, a need for residential nursing home beds was not documented by the questionnaire. The need for this type of facility will be discussed in the section, Appropriate Level of Place- ment. The Iowa Health Systems Agency has determined that there is a need for additional nursing home beds. As a basis for estimating need they use a State Health Department formula. There are two variations of this formula, one for rural counties and the other for (SMSA) counties.* The rural formula is used for Johnson County and determination of bed need is placed on population pro- jections from the Office for Planning and Programming. ADMISSION PROCEDURES Admission procedures vary.widely with emphasis often being placed on the physical problems rather than overall social and medical needs. The diversity of procedures indicated a need to develop a uniform admissions procedure so that residents will receive comprehensive care. There is a need for a thorough assessment of a resident's needs to be completed before admission followed by a review of this assessment by the nursing home to determine whether they can meet these needs. DISCHARGE PLANNING Some patients discharged from nursing homes are not referred to com- munity sources that can provide needed ongoing services. The nursing home questionnaire revealed that some nursing homes do not take responsibility for discharge planning leaving that to other sources such as family members and the Department of Social Services. .There was little indication that referrals are initiated by the homes themselves. The questionnaire indicated that there was a lack of knowledge about the availability of community resources to nursing home residents. Some ser- vices were felt to be accessible when in fact they do not exist or do exist on a limited basis. *See page 5 under Certificate of: Need MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES I MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES n0 RIES APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF PLACEMENT As a whole, most nursing homes did not believe that patients were in- appropriately placed as a result of utilization reveiws. Inasmuch as many studies indicate that nursing home residents could use lower levels of care, ' it is likely that utilization reviews are not sufficiently sensitive to patients needs. Agencies involved with nursing home placements are aware of individ- uals who do not need nursing services or need them only to a limited extent who could be placed in a residential (personal care) facility. 1� Only one licensed residential faciltiy exists in Johnson County and it is used for developmentally and psychiatrically disabled individuals. The lack W' of other residential facilities has been attributed to the problem of licensing t� this type of facility. Since many of the requirements for licensure are the same as that used,fcr-skilled and intermediate type facilities, the cost of i operating a personal care facility discourages their development. AVAILABILITY OF BEDS �:{ (- Although one of the most commonly expressed needs is for the patient to be placed in close geographic proximity to his/her residence there is indi- cation from health and social service agencies that patients under the Medicare and Medicaid program are often placed in nursing homes outside Johnson County.. The reason for out of county placement differs depending upon which of the e:1 two programs is involved. A reasonably sufficient number of beds presently exist for providing , intermediate nursing c are but Medicaid patients do not have the same access to these beds as private pay patients. Nursing home providers often set quotas on Medicaid admissions because they feel that the actual costs of care exceed Title XIX reimbursement. In order to compensate for losses, private pay rates are increased resulting in financial hardship for those patients who must bear the increased costs of care. of the total number of nursing home beds available in Johnson County - only 32 beds in one facility are certified to provide skilled nursing care ��- under the Medicare program. Out of county placements, often to Cedar Rapids are frequently made because the existing facility cannot accommodate all requests for care. 'I M MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES n0 RIES -16- CARE REVIEW COMMITTEE, MEDICAL REVIEW TEAM (DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES) AND CONSULTATION AND LICENSING DIVISION (STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT) Nursing homes were most dissatisfied with the reviews of the Care Re- view Committees and the State Department of Health. There was indication from the questionnaire that the Care Review Committee does not fulfill its role of patient advocacy. In addition, it was learned that there is insufficient training of members who are volunteers. At this time it is likely that mem- bers of the Care Review Committee are chosen by nursing home administrators, so that their position of advocate is questionable. Care Review Committees do not have access to medical records and it is generally felt that they do not provide in-depth reviews. The State Health Department and Medical Review Team (Department of Social Services) were viawed by virtually all the nursing homes as.contribut- ing to increasing "paper work" and increasing costs. The existence of three different review teams may contribute to the disatisfaction expressed by the nursing homes. Some of the problems could possibly be eliminated by coordi- nating activities of the three monitoring bodies. r - MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES I401NES MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOVIES i-_ FOOTNOTES i 1 U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Characteristics of Residents in Nursing and Personal Care Homes (February, 1973), p. 2. 2Iowa State Department of Health, Rules and Regulations Setting Minimum ''- Standards for Health Care Facilities, Code of Iowa (1977), p. 5. w i, 3U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Utilization of Nursing, i) (July, 1977), pp. 1-9. r' 4U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, An Overview of Nursing t 9 Home Characteristics, (September 6, 1978). ry , �( 5 Ibid. 0.1 r.: )i ] 6Fact Book on Aging A Profile of America's Older Population, The National w ;.

RI vi rH MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOVIES Priority Problem GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS Agencies Recommendation Affected Possible Funding Sources The following problems and recommendations relate to all of the service areas studied during the first and second years of the Human Services Planning Project. Because they relate to all areas, they will not be tailored to each individual area. However, their importance to each of the service areas should not be diminished due to this manner of presentation. COMMUNICATION, COORDINATION, INFORMATION Inadequate communication and coor- dination among agencies providing service results in inconsistencies, particularly in the way clients with multiple problems are handled. Delays in the provision of service and misunderstandings or disagree-, ments regarding service provision may occur when two or more agencies are involved with the same client. Regular meetings among agencies have been attempted but have been less than successful. Organizing and convening such meetings re- quires staff time and effort not available from any one agency. Inadequate knowledge on the part of service providers concerning the functions and programs of agencies can result in inapprop- riate referrals or lack of referral to a needed resource. In addition to clients getting lost in the system and not finding the Agency directors and staff pro- viding similar programs or ser- vices to similar client groups should meet together on a regu- lar basis to: 1) Share information about programs. 2) Explore solutions to common problems. 3) Acquaint them with the staff of other agencies to facili- tate the referral process and increase trust levels. 4) Share information on clients within the confines of confi- dentiality. Human Service planning staff may be assigned the responsibility for calling and'organizing such programs in order for them to succeed.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS (Continued) Priority Problem appropriate services, service pro- vision is often carried out without consulting other agencies which pro- vide similar or complementary ser- vices. The result is that services are delivered with less than optimal efficiency and effectiveness. DATA ON CLIENT CHARACTERISTICS Information on client character- istics (e.g., age, race, sex, in- come, residence and problems pre- sented) is not available at the present time through many agencies As a consequence, it is difficult to assess portions of the popu- lation which may be inadequately served and for which programs should be developed. Agencies Recommendation Affected These agency sessions might be used to address many of the spe- cific recommendations found in each of the profiles. Assessment of data requirements All public is needed by 1) agencies to and private assess existing programs and not -for -pro - 2) funding bodies to make allo- fit agencies cation decisions based on commun- providing ity need.

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES Possible Funding Sources Johnson County Re- gional Plan- ning Commis- sion, City, m County, United Way; State and federal fund- ing sources should also be explored. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS (Continued) Possible Agencies Funding Priority Problem Recommendation Affected Sources FUNDING General revenue sharing funds should ha considered as a possible funding source for many of the recommendations. Wherever possible, recommendations should be met by agencies already in existence. This may involve coordination of existing services, addition of a new program or program component to ! an existing agency, or shifting the focus of a current program to meet an identified need. It is recommended that a new agency be established in response to an unmet need only when the efforts of existing agencies have failed or when it has been satisfactorily determined that it is not feasible for an identified need to be met through such efforts alone. This approach will help ensure that additional costs are minimized and fragmentation of services avoided. HUMAN SERVICES SUPPORT NETWORK A continuing program to provide support and assistance to local human service agencies has been proposed by the Program Development Subcommittee of this project (December, 1978). This program would assist in the areas of coordination of agency services and data collection (see preceding Recommendations in this section). It would also provide for joint program and budget review by local funders of human service programs. (See Proposed Program for Implementation of a Human Services Support Network for further detail.) It is recommended that local funding bodies share the cost of providing this support network and that they require participation in this process by human service agencies applying for funding locally. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIOS•DES 140114ES Priority Problem 1. DISCHARGE PLANNING RECOMMENDATIONS Patients are often discharged without referral to community agencies which can provide ongoing supportive care. There is evidence that nursing homes are minimally involved in planning for discharge. If there is no com- munity agency such as the Department of Social Services or Veterans Admin- istration involved with discharge planning then the nursing home resi- dent may not be receiving needed com- munity care. Nursing homes do not always take an active involvement in discharge referrals because they are not oriented to providing care beyond the confines of their facility. They also lack knowledge of community agencies providing supportive serv- ices. Inappropriate Placements It is not known how many residents are inappropriately placed. Studies have shown that many nursing home residents require lower levels of care than they are receiving. Nurs- ing homes do not have a means of assessing the appropriateness of placement which contributes to the problem of residents remaining in nursing homes longer than necessary. Often nursing homes are unaware of inappropirate placements because they do not have adequate means of eval- uation. Recommendation Discharge planning needs to be implemented on admission. Nurs- ing homes should assume more re- sponsibility for discharge plan- ning and be knowledgeable about community resources which can be utilized by their residents upon discharge. Nursing homes and community pro- viders need to meet regularly for joint problem solving and sharing infc.-mation. The development of a liason sys- tem should be explored to assure continuity of care as an indi- vidual moving from one level of care to another. An assessment tool should be de- veloped which will assist the provider in determining place- ment in the appropriate setting and to determine the appropriate level of care required at any given time. Community based services need to be developed for those need- ing minimal amounts of nursing care.

DATA There is no data collection system to determine how many Johnson Countyresidentsmust leave the county to seek nursing home care because of problems involved in securing care within the county.

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110PIES -24 - APPENDIX REVIEW TEAMS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Annual unannounced licensure inspections of health care facilities are to be carried out by the nurse consultant of the Consultation and Licensing Division of the Department of Health. During such inspections, all records (dietary, personnel, etc.) are open to the nurse consultants. Attempts are also made to talk with some of the residents to gain their input as to the facility's condition. Upon inspection, if the nurse consultant finds the facility to be in violation of the state law and/or regulations, a conditional license may be issued. Along with this a grace period of thirty days, sixty days or one year depending on the severity or extent of the violation is extended to the licensee to remedy the conditions. On -sight follow-ups are done to see if violations have been corrected. While consultation and education are viable and important ways to help bring health care facilities into compliance with state rules and regulations, they are not always sufficient to enforce compliance. In 1975 the Iowa General Assembly passed legislation, effective July 1, 1976, implementing a fining and citation system for health care facilities. The system classifies violations of department rules and regulations into three classes depending on severity, duration, intent and recurrence of the condition. Facilities are fined accordingly. Facilities have the right to judicial review of any _i citation and fine levied which they feel there was not just cause. `i The maximum time allowed for the correction of violation is one year; _ a health care facility may operate under a conditional license for no more than one year. If, at the end of that time, the violation still exists, the inspector is to recommend revocation of the license. In some instances �- waivers may be issued to a home failing to meet a particular standard provid- ing that it does not hamper patient care or the delivery of services. Re- vocation of license may be recommended upon an inspection if conditions in the home are so poor that the physical plant and/or patient care is jeopardize the health and safety of the residents. The nurse consultant is in the pos- ition to recommend rather than act on a revocation of a license; the ultimate power to revoke a license lies with the Commission of Public Health. If this process is carried out, the Commissioner of the Iowa Department of Social I " Services becomes involved and must withdraw Medicaid -Title XIX funding from that home. i If the revocation of a license is made, a notice of same is sent to the licensee, listing the deficiencies in the home. It notifies the licensee of the right to appeal the action and allows 30 days for a hearing at which time evidence may be presented on both sides, as to why the license should or should not be revoked. The hearing officer who presides over the appeal is appointed by the Commissioner of Health. If the licensee chooses not to appeal the decision, the license is revoked on the date stated on -- the revocation notice and Medicaid funds are withdrawn. However, if an MICUFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1401RES -25- 1 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110114ES d�Appendix 1 con'td. appeal is requested, the facility remains open unless the repeal results in a for which revocation decision for closure.

The Housing Commission, in a meeting on 1/25, voted 5 to 1 to recommend to the council that you not accept this amendment. It was generally agreed that the checklist is a fine idea. This is an instrument that I believe should be used to promote under- standing and clarity between the landlord and tenant. However, as was expressed in the motion the commission adopted, we do not believe the Housing Code is the broper medium. As I understand it, the purpose of the Housing Code is to establish standards to protect the safety and welfare of the ci- tizenry, not to regulate financial interactions between tenant and landlord. The primary impetus for this amendment is the use of the damage deposit by landlords and the equitable transfer of this deposit between landlord and tenant. Since this is not a direct concern for the safety or welfare of the public, I believe it is beyond the scope and intent of this ordinance. I also share Mr. Kucharzak's Cl-nrarns about practical enfor- cement problems and the detrimental effects such an amendment may have on the entire code. I hope the council has given proper con- cern to these problems. Who will mediate disputes? and who will interpret what is a prover checklist? are just two of the questions that will need to be answered. What my arguments point to is the commission's belief that the Housing Code is not the appropriate place for a checklist. Such an amendment will be detrimental to the code because it goes beyond the code's purpose and in t!e process creates the potential for a great many unnecessary problems. What constructive comments can I offer? As I stated earlier, most members of the commission agree that the checklist is a good idea, but that its proper place is as part of a model lease. This is in fact what a checklist is. It is part of the rental agreement. If the council believes that rental agreements need to be regu- lated, I believe it should be done on a straight forward and con- sistent basis. Perhaps the council believes there are certain items t -at should be present in all leases. In any case, I urge that if the council feels this type of legislation is necessary, that it be drafted as an ordinance seperate from the Housing Code, with its own enforcement procedures and its own properly defined purpose. I will make every effort to be in attendance at the formal session Tuesday night. If any member of the council has questions or desires discussion, I will be pleased to cooperate. As a member of the Housing Commission, it is my desire to see Iowa City enact and enforce sound, consistent and reasonable housing ordinances. We currently have a good minimum housing code. Let us not wreck it with patchwork additions destroying its con- tinuity and purpose. Thank -you for ,your consideration.

Brandt 1/24/79 BASIC ELEMENTS WHICH WOULD BE PROVIDED BY HUMAN SERVICE SUPPORT PROGRAM (if housed in Johnson County Regional Planning Commission) The three program packages below have been developed from the longer "Pro- posal for a Human Services Support Network - FY '80 and Ongoing, which you received for review in December, 1978. The Program Development Subcommittee of the Human Services Project feels that all of the components outlined in the three packages should be pro- vided in order to assure adequate support and planning for the human ser- vice system in Johnson County. The total amount of support which we would need in order to provide these components is $26,400. We hope that this cost could be shared between Iowa City and Johnson County. I However, we realize that the Council and Board of Supervisors may not be �. willing or abletoprovide this full amount of support. Therefore, we f have chosen to present the program in these three packages. i Packages A and B would allow for provision of assistance in the areas of management, evaluation, and coordination. Their aim is primarily to achieve implementation of the products of the first and second years of I the human services planning effort. Package A is what we consider to be a minimum program level and would provide fora half-time project director. Package B (which includes the components in Package A in addition to those listed).would provide a more complete program and enable the employment of a full-time project director. Package C would expand the services in Packages A and B to include addi- tional planning assessment and grant assistance. This package represents the total program level which we would like to see funded. It would al- low for the employment of a half-time planning assistant in addition to a full-time project director. The cost and components of each.package..are shown below. Package A $10,000 - '$7,800 Project Director Salary 1,200 Fringe Benefits (F' -CA, IPERS, Health Ins. Life Ins., Merit Inc.
