A brief discussion of announcements made at the pot luck on December 10, 1978 ensued. Since there was not a quorum present there was not an official meeting called. The appointment of Neal Morris to the Board by Mayor Vevera was announced, as was the resignation of Howard Weinberg effective 12/31/78 and Susan D1nva effective 3/30/79. j The Finance and balance sheet for the month ending December 31, 1978 were Presented and approved, moved by Mike Rose, seconded by Tan Conway, unanimous approval.

This subject was discussed at length. In most instances it was felt that the people had had good excuses for their absence and hopefully will improve since the matter has been drawn to their attention. The Board discussed the possibility of a change of meeting time if that would solve any conflicts. When it became apparent this was not needed the Board decided to stay with the prescribed time, the second Wednesday of each month at 7:00 Due to the lack of a volunteer coordinator Jim asked the Board to consider stopping the tutoring program. Apparently it has taken a great deal of time from Scott's hours and although the need exists there is noone willing to give their time to keep the program going. Tam moved and Hanne seconded and the Board gave their unanimous approval to discontinue the program. Tomand Jim propose to write a letter to Dave Cronin and others explaining the need and the hope that the school system would take over this project. Jim and Susan are writing up a report for the Board on their experiences in advocacy proceedings in the Juvenile Courts. The Board had expressed a desire to learn more of the day to day routines of the staff, With the announcement of Susan's resignation the question arose as to the status of the Young Wcmens' Project. The Board will encourage its devel- opment through the Women's Center rather than to continue to underwrite the staffing.and development.

Washington Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mayor Vevera and Members of the City Council: The potential closing of certain local schools in the Iowa City School District could be beneficial to the City of Iowa City and the Iowa City Police Department. The acquisition of a school building whose services are no longer needed by the School Dis- trict and its subsequent utilization as the headquarters of the Iowa City Police Department could help alleviate the growing needs of the city administration and the Police Department. Physical conditions within the Civic Center are crowded. The Police and other departments housed in the Civic Center have a growing need for floor space. Additional floor space would become available to city government for expansion and relief of current crowded conditions by utilization of the space currently occupied by the Police Department. In addition, elements of city government which are at present housed in separate facilities could be incorporated into the same physical structure. There is a severe need for additional space within the Police Department. The Records and Communications sections are operating under very confining conditions. Administrative office space is limited as are areas for storage of equipment and supplies. The selection of a vacant school buliding as a police facility has several physical advantages. The availability of a gymnasium within the building should be considered significant. Its util- ization could upgrade and maintain the physical condition of police personnel, reducing health problems associated with the law enforcement fieldi and therefore health costs to the City. Space in the lower level of the building could be modified for use as an acceptable small arms firing range for use by the Iowa City Police Department and possibly other area agencies as no such facility exists in the Iowa City- Cedar Rapids area. Other adaptations of the space within a school building are limited only by one's own imagination. The cost of constructing a facility today that would have the physical assets of an ex- isting school building would be prohibitive. Of the schools currently under consideration for closure, one facility presents itself as the best candidate. Its proximity to the Johnson County Courthouse, the proposed Sheriff's depart- ment and the Federal Building as well as its centralized location within the city make the facilities of Henry Sabin School:.an outstanding choice. I hope I have stimulated discussion on the crowded conditions existing in the Civic Center. The proposal stated above would appear- to be a solution to this problem should the opportunity arise and prove economically feasible.

I ?o hope that, you will not only abandon the thought of a permanent ruling for garbage to be brought to the curb, but that the Spring date be moved closer. I live on Market Street, neA to the Shelly station. If I am correct, there is no "private residence" Garbage pick-up from Gilbert to Clinton Streets, except for our three families here at 212, 2111, and 216. This makes our pick-up almost a special stop on Market Street; but, in the alley, the south side of Bloomington is picked -up at the same time. i But my concern is not only --in fact, not primarily, for our situation - rather our situation highlights why curb -side garbage pick-up doesn't make sense where alleys are available. In the winter there is as much snow piled un on the street as in the alley--alt,rough driving the street might be easier. But, winter or summer, it ju^t doesn't na'.ce sense to lug garbage already collected in fire alley, to the curb, and then lug the empty cans back to the alley to collect the next load to lug. i'here arc nail older citizens for ;;tom this is ora only an inconvenience, but, espacially in winter, it is a real hardshi-. And here, at 212 Ba:,t Harket, it,,; hard to find a place to leave it at curbside, where cars are parked, hiding it, making it likely it gets knocked abut, etc. also, there are many houses occupied by students who are not al, are of the householder's responsibility to be sure that garbage is taken care of. I feelrete p y sure, for inst^nce, that the students living across the alley from us, don't even know about the curbside ruling, for their garbage bags are accwnulatinp,. From an efficiency point of view, it seems that alley pick-up allows pick-up from both streets in one op -.:,,tion -- -,;ith :Aarl.cdly lcc;s interference with movement of other traffic. It is very understandable that this exec tional ,:intcrIs problems needed special arrangements. But, let's remember it is exceptional, and not routine. Iowa City garbage pick-up has been excellent.

WASHINGTON Sl. February 21, 1979 Barbara Curry 216 E. Market Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Ms. Curry: OWA CITY IOVVA C11Y IOWA 522210 (319) 354.1300 The City Council has received your letter concerning curb side garbage pick up . Curbside garbage pick up in your area of town would operate in the same Danner as curbside pick up in newer portions of the community without Alleys. Your cans or plastic bags would be left next to your house during the week and then on the day of pick up you would take the cans or plastic bags out to the curb. As you state in your letter it does not make much sense to take garbage out to the alley and then carry the can or plastic bag from the alley out to the curb. Changing to curbside pick up is being done this winter in response to the impassable conditions of the alley. This change should have been made several years ago but the recent weather brought the situation to a head. In the summer and spring time the garbage trucks are also brought to a standstill in the muddy bogs in many alleys. In addition, our heavy garbage trucks are the primary culprits responsible for rip- ping up many alleys and leaving deep ruts in the alleys. We believe that curbside pick up will be more sanitary then alley pick up. Alley pick up operates on the premises that "out of sight is out of mind". We believe that it will actually be better to have storage of containers located where they can be easily seen by everyone. If there are unsanitary conditions we will be able to contact those occupants and remedy the situation. 336 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES Mo RIES It is our intent to continue to provide you with the same excellent garbage service that you have obtained in the past.

The lighting plan was subsequently reviewed and approved by action nting Plan related eto�species cselectilonrrather tthan placement ofions regarding ethealandscape materials. The Design Review Committee had objected to the use of three species of trees as shown on the initial plans. The planting plan has been revised and has been reviewed by the Design Review Committee. The Committee had previously objected to the placement of sugar maple trees in islands in the parking lot because this species is extremely susceptible to damage from salt and to damage from exhaust fumes. A substitution of hackberry 'trees for the sugar maples was made at these locations. The Design Review Committee had objected to the use of hopa crabapple trees because they drop their fruit and are generally messy. The hopa crabs have been deleted from the planting plan and other species of flowering crabs have been substituted in their place. The Design Review Committee had sug- gested to the developer that the use of Russian olives was a problem because they are more appropriate in a more rural setting and because they require high maintenance in an urban setting. The objections to the Russian olives were transmitted to the landscape architect who chose to continue to use them. The revised planting plan was reviewed by the Design Review Committee at its meeting of February 14. The Committee reiterated its concerns regarding the Russian olives and suggested that the developer use Cock- spur hawthorne, calery pear or sargent crab in place of the Russian olives. However, the Design Review Committee felt that overall the Planting plan was good, and should be approved. The suggestions for replacement of Russian olives with one of the other species has been forwarded to the developer. resolutionThe approving iilminary f,tntntaafor this developntcontans, nattachmentAhestaementhtthe developerutThe staffur orecommendscaleryadoptionearorofathist resolution. jm4/23 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES I10IREs ,�s RESOLUTION NO. 79-74 RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE OPERATION OF AN OPEN PARKING STRUCTURE IN IOWA CITY, IOWA WHEREAS, the City of Iowa City, Iowa, is engaged in a redevelopment project in downtown Iowa City; and, WHEREAS, the City of Iowa City has prepared and adopted an Urban Renewal Plan for said project, consisting of the Urban Renewal Plan, dated September 3, 1969, adopted by Resolution Number 2157, as amended from time to time, which Plan has been recorded among the land records in the Office of the Johnson County Recorder in Book 490 at Page 408; and, WHEREAS, in furtherance of the Objectives set forth in said Urban Renewal Plan the City of Iowa City has adopted a "Resolution Authorizing and Providing for the Issuance and Securing the Payment of $5,200,000 Parking Facilities Revenue Bonds of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, Under the Provisions of the City Code of Iowa, and Providing for a Method of Payment of Said Bonds," Resolution Number 78-484, passed and approved on November 7, 1978, hereinafter referred to as the Bond Resolution; and, WHEREAS, the City of Iowa City is constructing an open parking structure located on Block 83, Original Town, Iowa City, Johnson County, Iowa; and, WHEREAS, it is necessary and desirable to provide assurances to certain parties regarding the use and operation of said open parking structure. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF IOWA CITY, IOWA, that the following assurances are provided to all Retail Tenants, now, or at any time during the next twenty-five years, occupying leased premises of more than 10,000 square feet within the boundaries of the Iowa City Central Business District for a lease term of more than four years. 1. The City of Iowa City, Iowa, is now constructing and shall complete the construction of an open parking structure on Block 83, Original Town, Iowa City, Johnson County, Iowa. Said parking structure is owned by the City of Iowa City, Iowa; is being constructed fully in accordance with applicable Codes and Ordinances; and is exempt from real property taxation under the laws of Iowa now in effect. I 2. The City of Iowa City, Iowa, shall operate and maintain said parking structure for a minimum period of twenty-five years from the date of the completion of construction of said structure which, barring acts of God or other unavoidable delays, shall be not later than .January 1, 1980. The City shall insure said structure in the manner set forth in Section 16(c) of the Bond Resolution and shall use the proceeds of such insurance, to the extent necessary, to repair or replace the stricture in the event of damage to, or destruction of the structure, provided such repair or replacement remains a viable method of meeting the customer access needs of the Central Business District. This shall not serve to commit any funds other than the proceeds of said insurance. During the twenty-five year period set forth above, the City shall not otherwise convert the structure to a use other than parking. 3. During the twenty-five year period set forth above, the City shall operate said structure so that it is suitable and available for use by the public at the rates then in effect, at least between the hours of 7:00 a.m, and 10:00 p.m., daily.

The City, rather than any other party, shall provide or cause to be pro- vided, security for said structure, at a level which is in the City's sole judgment, appropriate. DE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that nothing contained herein shall serve to reduce any OF the City's obligations as set forth in the Urban Renewal Plan or the Bond Resolution.

Included on the agenda for the February 20 Council meeting is a Resolution Providing for the Operation of an Open Parking Structure in Iowa City, Iowa. The resolution has been drafted to be adopted by the City Council and recorded in the records of the Johnson County Recorder's Office. The City has, for a number of years, recognized the necessity to provide an adequate number of parking spaces to support the central business district's economic activ- ity. This policy is reflected in the adopted parkingpolicy, the Urban Renewal Plan, and in several recent Council actions. The issuance of the parking facility's revenue bonds and the on-going construction of the Block 83 parking ramp are the steps being taken to provide the parking facilities needed. Now that the City has taken the actions necessary to construct the facility, it is necessary to provide assurances to several pro- spective long-term tenants seeking downtown locations regarding the City's intention to operate and maintain the parking facilities so that they remain available for use by the public. The resolution provided to the City Council references the Urban Renewal Plan and the provisions of the parking facilities revenue bond resolution. The assurances contained within the resolution are straightforward and reasonable. .For the most part they are specific comments relating to restatements of existing Council intentions. Listed below are ments: each of the four assurance state - A. Statement #1 simply states the facts that the parking struc- ture is owned by the City, is tax exempt, and is being con- structed in accordance with the applicable codes and ordin- ances. This requires no explanation. 3. Assurance State #2 states that the City shall operate the parking ramp for at least 25 years. The resolution restates the requirement contained in Section 16C of the bond reso- lution to maintain insurance on the structure. The bond resolution does, however, specify that the City shall use the proceeds of the insurance to rebuild or repair the structure or to use the proceeds to pay off the bonds. Because paying off the bonds without rebuilding or repairing the structure should it be damaged provides no parking supply to support MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES I401REs downtown retail activity this does not provide sufficient assurance that the parking will be available in the future. This resolution provides that as long as it is viable to repair or replace the parking structure to meet customer access needs of the CBD the proceeds will be used to repair or replace the parking ramp. This does not commit any additional funds other than the proceeds of the insurance, and then only j to the extent necessary. The resolution also states that the City onvert he i use other thanwill not cparkingtforuae25 year of the peri�od9 structure to a C. Assurance #3 states that the parking ramp will be open, with ( pedestrian and vehicle access between the hours of 7:00 A.M. Ji and 10:00 P.M. daily. This does not mean that the facility needs to be attendent controlled at all times during that period but rather means it needs to be possible to get cars and people in and out of the facility. D. Assurance #4 simply states that it is the City's respon— sibility to provide security in the parking rather than the responsibility of any other party. It however specifies that the appropriate level of security shall be determined solely by the City. 3. The provisions contained in this resolution are designed to provide assurances to the large, major retailers whose operation depends on the ready availability of a substantial number of parking spaces. This applies specifically to certain tenants seeking space in Old Capitol Center but applies equally to other tenants who may be seeking space in existing CBD buildings such as the Roshek's building or the building now containing Younker's. The resolution has been discussed with, and reviewed by, the City Attorney, and has been reviewed by the Parking Superintendent and the Director of Finance. Staff strongly recommends the adoption of this resolu- tion.

I. SCOPE OF SERVICES The City of Iowa City Civic Center is divided into two general areas. the Police and Fire Department compose one area and the general government composes the other area. The air conditioning system on the general government portion is antiquated and constantly breaks down under summer cooling loads. The primary objective of this agreement is to determine the deficiencies of the present air conditioning system on the general government area of the Civic Center and provide recommendations and plans and specifications to remedy the problems. While studying the air conditioning problem on the general government area of the building, the City also wants to take this opportunity to do an energy audit of the entire Iowa City Civic Center from the standpoint of energy usage to determine (1) whether the building uses excessive energy, and (2) whether there are additions, modifications, or alterations which could feasibly be made to the building or its use to reduce the overall consumption of energy. A. AUDIT To accomplish the above named objectives the Consultant shall prepare an energy audit and describe the modifications and im- provements recommended to remedy the air conditioning system and to achieve energy conservation. The Consultant shall use his professional judgment and discretion in determining how much detail and complexity each step of the audit should entail. The audit should include but not be limited to the following steps: 1. Develop an inventory of each component of the existing energy system. This should include the electric service entrance, power distribution, lighting systems, major electrical appliances, fuel system, boilers, heat exchangers, temperature controls, pumps, fans, refrigeration systems, condensors and domestic water service equipment. 2. Inspect the existing building and its equipment to confirm construction materials; evaluate operating characteristics MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIOS•DES MOINES 2 of the existing heating and air conditioning equipment; measure ventilation rates; and compare observations with prior reports and drawings. 3. Calculate the design maximum heating and cooling loads and required rates. 4. Prepare detailed schedules of normal use of the facility and calculate monthly and annual energy uses as a function of normal annual weather occurrence and proper performance of existing systems. 5. Develop estimated allocations of the uses of electricity and gas for the following functions: illumination, air handling, heating auxiliaries, refrigeration auxiliaries, appliances and machinery, outdoor lighting, refrigeration, space heating, ventilation air heating, domestic hot water heating, cooking and appliance fuel. 6. Develop alternative systems, equipment and building operations that may reduce energy use; calculate the annual energy use variation with each alternative and evaluate the impact of the change on quality of performance. 7. Prepare estimates of cost avoidance and implementation expenses for those alternatives that will provide significant improvement in the energy use or quality of performance. Alternates should be compared using rate of return and other comparative measures deemed suitable by the Consultant. 8. Prepare a report of the different system analyses, cost and benefits and include charts and diagrams where applicable. Review the report with City representatives. B.

A few facts have been brought to light but there has been no written document presented to Council with detailed information about the issues. This memo will present the issues raised, provide facts and answers and provide an analysis of each particular situation. Seventeen issues will be examined. 1. Issue - City management has not listened to the concerns of the dr -rivers. Facts and Answer - the City has conscientiously listened to the concerns o? the drivers. Analysis - In January, 1979, a driver filed a grievance in Which the driver made the following demands: (1) That the City of Iowa City assume responsibility for an accident of 1-5-79 and admit negligence in the issuance of bus number three on said day; (2) That Iowa City transit routes be rewritten so as to be "makeable" without breaking posted speed limits and without risking the safety of drivers, passengers and public. On January 29, I met with the driver and had a lengthy discussion about the various problems. At that meeting the driver was told he would be contacted for future discussions. At the conclusion of the meeting the grievant made it clear that unless the issue was resolved in his favor he would take the matter to the news media. He further stated that with the publicity being generated by the Linda Eaton case he felt that the City would be reluctant to have any more adverse publicity. I stated that management did not make decisions based on the reaction of the news media to any given situation. On January 30, the driver was contacted and a meeting was set up for January 31. ,3,3-3 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140IRts A meeting was held January 31st with the driver and the union steward. The meeting appeared to be productive and the union steward stated that the City appeared to be listening to the concerns of the driver. Unfortunately, a few hours later it was learned that a few transit drivers were planning to hand out leaflets to the general public regarding the mechanical condition of the buses and difficulty in making route schedules with high passenger loads and adverse weather conditions. We were concerned about this action since it was a one-sided action which directly contradicted our cooperative meeting only a few hours earlier in the day. It also circumvented the management -union contract which specifies how problems are to be resolved. That evening City management was able to contact the union steward by phone. Management stated that we believed solutions could be worked out and that the precipitous action did not appear useful. The steward indicated she would phone back later that evening with the union's answer. No phone call was received and finally late in the evening the transit manager called the union steward. The steward stated that the drivers were going ahead with handing out the leaflets. On February 2, leaflets were handed out to the general public. On Monday, February 5, a labor-management committee meeting, which had been scheduled several days earlier, was held to discuss this and other subjects. 2. Issue - Drivers must break the speed limit to make schedules. Facts and Answer - No, not under high passenger load and normal road conditions. Analysis - A transit route is composed of four time elements. Element number one is the time spent travelling between stops. Element number two is the time to slow down and pick up a passenger. Element number three is the time spent picking up a passenger. Element number four is the time to pull away from the stop and accelerate. The amount of time spent on element number one is a very small proportion of the total travel time on low routes. For example, on the East College route during rush hour there are approximately 30 stops made during the half hour trip. With this many stops, the 25 mile an hour speed limit is not a guiding factor. Only a few routes afford the opportunity to travel near or at the speed limit. These routes would include MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DF.S IIOInES Portions of Benton Street, N. Dubuque, Gilbert, Highway 1 (north), Melrose, Morman Trek, Rochester, and Highway 6 Bypass. Portions of these routes have speed limits of 30, 35, and 45 mph. In agreeing with employees that violation of speeding laws is not an acceptable course of action, this particular concern has been given far too much emphasis. Particularly during peak hours the number of stops, and traffic congestion limit the j bus's speed. When the speed limit controls, it must be obeyed. 3. Issue - There is too much stress on drivers during the rush hour. Facts and Answer - No. I Analysis - Transit routes in Iowa City are set up on 30 minute I headways. In this system this means it takes the bus 3o minutes to travel its route under the following conditions: 1) a high passenger load; and 2) dry streets. Whenever conditions vary from this the transit route will either take less time or more time to travel. It would not be efficient to set up a transit route assuming the worst conditions of the year since this would mean during the rest of the year the transit system would be under-utilized with large amounts of slack time. Management expects that during rush hour traffic and during severe winter conditions drivers will feel pressured from traffic the time fromslippe congestion, andmfrom others adverse conditions. This type of stress is no less nor any more severe than the stress faced by any employee in the public or private sector. I Employees in the Water Division repairing a main break at 3:00 a.m, in the morning with the temperatures below zero feel stress; a Street Division employee plowing snow in a blinding snowstorm for 12 to 16 hours feels stress; a Finance employee j working an irate citizen who is paying a traffic ticket feels stress and a garbage collector picking up refuse with the chill factor at -45°F feels stress. In the American market place compensation is given to an employee in return for job performance. Almost all jobs involve stress. We do not believe that transit routes should be manipulated for the express purpose of eliminating all types of stress a driver might feel. When employees begin work for the transit system they become aware that driving during peak hour, with severe winter weather under adverse road conditions is stressful. This is an expected and normal part of the job. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MORTES Issue - Redoing routes and schedules will resolve all problems. Facts and Answer - No. Analysis - There has been discussion about the fact that a comprehensive review of the routes is planned for this coming summer. All of the problems about scheduling can be easily resolved if the routes are shortened or headways increased so that there is a generous amount of slack time on all of the route under peak load adverse road conditions. Unfortunately, this also means that large areas of town will have transit service discontinued or headways increased. It is management's objective to plan transit schedules so that they can be made on schedule under high passenger load conditions on bare, dry streets. Making the schedule will mean accelerating away from a stop while passengers are still seating themselves, making change while the bus is moving, and minimizing the time spent decelerating to a stop to pick up a passenger. If the route schedule is set up under these conditions there will be more slack time available during periods of low ridership demand and there will be no slack time available during conditions of high ridership and adverse road conditions. It should be obvious that there is no way to set up a transit route on any type of headway so that an exact amount of time is needed under all types of road conditions and passenger loads. While each route could be given so much slack time that the route could be made under even the most severe conditions, this means that bus capacity could waste the other 35 or 40 weeks a year. This is a concept management cannot embrace. While the transit manager will review the routes next summer, management will always attempt to provide maximum service to the customer with minimum headway times. Issue - The driver's viewpoint always represents what is best for transit. Facts and Answer - No. Analysis - While bus drivers are very knowledgeable about their particular routes and their particular set of conditions, there are many other factors which must determine how a transit system operates. As mentioned earlier, the main one is the trade-off between adequate slack time and service to the customer. This ties in with the amount of financial support the City gives to transit J MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RARIDSOCS r10114Es 5 system, the citizens perception of what is expected from the transit system, the viewpoint of elected officials, comments the transit system receives from passengers, the amount of state aid the transit system receives, federal funding, ability to service the vehicles during off hours, as well as other factors. The one place where all of these factors come together is in the transit manager's office, The transit manager is expected to absorb input from all of the parties affectd by route scheduling and form them into a policy that is acceptable to the elected officials. In many cases a bus driver's viewpoint, while sincere, is very narrow in scope and may represent only what is best for a driver. 6. Issue - Routes and schedules should be set up by a committee composed of management and the union. Facts and Answer - No. Analysis - As stated earlier, the driver's viewpoint is an important element in determining schedules but the transit manager must provide schedules that utilize the buses to the maximum extent possible consistent with all of the many other concerns that go into making a route schedule. An objective of the Transit system is to provide maximum convenience to the Transit customer and not necessarily to the Transit driver. Working conditions for the driver should be acceptable but acceptable does not necessarily mean relaxing, pleasant, socially satisfying, or socially relevant. 7. Issue - The transit buses are unsafe. Facts and Answers - No. Analysis - The mechanical condition of the buses has improved steadily since a comprehensive preventive maintenance program was established in March 1978. Since no organized program existed before that time, a large number of needed repairs were identified when the first group of comprehensive inspections were conducted. As we get into the second year of this program we will begin to reap the benefits of the large volume of work done as a result of the first year's inspections. The following inspection schedule has been in effect for the past year: MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DE, IIOII1Es 59 Daily - lights, oil/water levels, tire condition. 4 week interval - Complete safety inspection and lubrication. This includes a brake adjustment. 6 month interval - pull all wheels; inspect drums and linings, replace if necessary; pack wheel bearings. Most of the drivers complaints have centered around brake i problems. To put the problem in perspective, the driver comments and resulting repair actions from 10/9/78-2/8/79 are described below for the bus which was the subject of the recent maintenance grievance. REPAIR HISTORY COACH #603 DATE: 10/9/78 DRIVER COMMENT: Bus drifts right, alignment or tire pressure. i REPAIR ACTION: 9/19/78 - Front brakes relined. 10/12/78 P.M. (pre- ventative maintenance) - Inspection, brakes adjusted. DATE: 10/11/78 DRIVER COMMENT: Steering is very tight and bus pulls a lot to the left. REPAIR ACTION: 10/13/78 - Adjust steering gear, brakes seem OK. DATE: 10/25/78 DRIVER COMMENT: Brakes bad when doing, pull to the right. REPAIR ACTION: 10/31/78 - 6 month P.M. Brakes adjusted. DATE: 11/14/78 DRIVER COMMENT: When brakes are used it moves from side to side; acts like the drums are egg-shaped. REPAIR ACTION: 11/19/78 - Repaired front brakes - pads came loose from shoes. DATE: 1/15/78 DRIVER COMMENT: Bad brakes, they pull to the left side. REPAIR ACTION: 11/16/78 - Brakes adjusted. DATE: 11/22/78 DRIVER COMMENT: Little tread on right front tire. REPAIR ACTION: 11/22/78 - Replaced right front tire. 12/1/78 P.M. Inspection - Brakes adjusted. DATE: 12/13/78 DRIVER COMMENT: Rfight front brake locks up. REPAIR ACTION: 12/11/78 - Adjust brakes. 12/28/79 P.M. Inspection - Adjust brakes. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 7 DATE: 12/28/78 ACTION: P.M. inspection; adjust brakes. DATE: 1/5/79 DRIVER COMMENT: Left front slides on slightest pressure. CITY COMMENT: First shift driver did not notify mechanics or Transit Superintendent of problem at time problem occurred. DATE: 1/5/79 Second shift driver has accident and later files grievance. CITY COMMENT: First shift driver did not notify mechanics or Transit Superintendent of problem at time problem occurred. DATE: 1/8/79 DRIVER COMMENT: Bad brakes on certain surfaces. REPAIR ACTION: 1/8/79 - Bus brought in off street. Equipment Superintendent inspects brakes and found no mechanical problem. Relined and replaced drums. DATE: 1/11/79 DRIVER COMMENT: The brakes are great now. No grabbing. DATE: 1/12/79 DRIVER COMMENT: Brakes still grab, pull right. DATE: 1/13/79 DRIVER COMMENT: Brakes very spongy. DATE: 1/30/79 DRIVER COMMENT: Brakes grab left and hard to press. DATE: 1/30/79 DRIVER COMMENT: Poor brakes. REPAIR ACTION: 1/30/79 - Equipment Superintendent road tested vehandlcle on found brakes tlo bele usafesIncluded Alsof and that brakes would pull 1/4 to 1/2 turn at the wheel at very slow speeds with no hand on the wheel. Slightest pressure from hand made pulling undetectable. DATE: 1/31/79 DRIVER COMMENT: Poor brakes. DATE: 2/1/79 DRIVER COMMENT: Please check brakes. They are weak. REPAIR ACTION: 2/1/79 P.M. Inspection - Regular brake adjustment. DATE: 2/8/79 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES DRIVER COMMENT: Brakes lock up too easily. REPAIR ACTION: 2/10/79 - Adjust brakes. If this complaint history is examined carefully it becomes obvious that there was very little consensus among the drivers about what kind of problem the brakes really had. Attached to this memo is a photograph of a front brake assembly on a typical transit coach. It should be noted that the shoes and drum are completely exposed to water, salt, sand and dirt which can be thrown up from the road. These types of foreign substances will lead to erratic front brake action. If both brakes are wet they can at times be spongy, if one gets wet it will not function properly and the bus will pull the other way somewhat; if a foreign substance gets between the pad and drum that brake will grab. If you combine this exposure problem with the weather and street conditions that were experienced in December and January it should be obvious that the brakes will respond differently under varying road and weather conditions. It also should be noted that the accident which gave rise to the grievance occurred on "glare" ice. Mechanics too are subject to "high ridership - dry road" considerations; they must adjust brakes so that they will stop the bus at normal operating speeds with a load of passengers. This type of brake adjustment is not good at all for an empty bus on a slippery pavement. The most important thing to remember about bus safety is that it is a result of competent mechanics adhering to a stringent preventive maintenance inspection schedule. The driver complaint system ("green cards") is valuable only as a "barometer" for the preventive maintenance system. The Equipment Superintendent and transit lead mechanic review these cards and identify trends that need more attention on the regular Preventive Maintenance inspections. They also, of course, schedule repair of any reported mechanical problem if they can duplicate or verify these problems. Issue The interim changes proposed by the transit manager doT go far enough to resolve the problems. Answer and Facts - City management does not plan to completely eliminate all stress situations during peak load, adverse road conditions. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIOInCS Analysis - As stated earlier, the transit routes should preferably be set up to handle high ridership, dry road conditions. Under these conditions most of the transit routes can be made within four to five minutes of scheduled time. With the objective of providing maximum transit service to customers, the transit routes, as they are now composed, are close to satisfactory. In an effort to accommodate the drivers and fine tune the system, the transit manager has proposed several changes which will provide a bit more slack time while not compromising service to the customer too much. All of the changes proposed fall under the category of "fine tuning." Issue - The two buses purchased from Chicago are not fit to travel. Facts and Answer - This is incorrect. The buses are fit. Analysis - Buses #18 and N19 are the two buses that we bought from Hausman Bus Sales in Chicago. #18 is a 1967 coach and X19 is a 1963 coach. Bus N18 was not in good shape when we received it. It broke down on the road when it was being brought back from Chicago and had to be repaired. Before this coach ever went on the street, the transit mechanics put 120 hours of repair, inspections and adjustments into it. There have been some minor problems with the heating system because the bus was originally used in Louisianna. (It has no radiator shutters or fan clutch.) There have been no safety deficiencies. Bus N19 was in much better shape when received and only a standard Preventive Maintenance inspection was needed before being put on the street. The lead mechanic drove this coach from Chicago himself and encountered no serious problems. The purchase of these buses for a total of $30,000 was a good solution from both a bus availability and maintenance spare standpoint. 10. Issue - More federal money will solve all of the problems. Answer - No. Analysis - Additional federal money would likely provide additional buses and a new transit garage. With additional buses we could provide more transit routes with shorter headways. If weather conditions occurred similar to those of the last few weeks, these buses would fall behind schedule. It is not feasible to set up transit schedules based on the worst week of the worst month of the worst winter. A new transit garage, while it would increase repair efficiency would do nothing to address the type of road conditions that have occurred in the last several weeks. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOIRES 10 11. Issue - More mechanics are needed with more equipment. Facts and Answer - No. Analysis - With the current staffing level of three day shift mechanics and one night shift mechanic we have instituted a preventive maintenance and accomplish the huge volume of repairs neeProgramection needed to bring the buses up to an acceptable mechanical condition. We feel that the second year of the system will tell the tale as regards the required personnel staffing level. When and if a decision to increase staff is made, the bargaining agency input will come from the lead transit mechanic who is the one person with the daily exposure to provide this input intelligently. If this recommendation is made, this activity will have to be evaluated by the City Council against other City enterprises to determine where additional personnel assets are more urgently needed. 12. Issue - Consolidating bus stops will not help the situation. Factsand Answer - Incorrect, it will help the situation. Anal sis - It was mentioned earlier a transit route is composed of four elements. The four elements are travel time between stops, decelerating to pick up a passenger, time spent picking up a passenger, and time spent accelerating away from the stop. The majority of the travel time for a bus is spent on the last three portions. If a bus is able to travel between point A and point B without making a stop it saves approximately 15 to 20 seconds by eliminating that stop. The typical example is on the East College route where the bus now makes 30 stops. By consolidating each two stops into one the system would save 2 to 3 consolidation inutes ctrip. dation ofbus s 0 h options opss the besteanstoincreasesthe slack time on a route while not decreasing the area of town served by transit. But, as stated earlier, most transit routes are very close to being correct for peak load, dry road conditions. 13. Issue - Providing for exact change will make a major improvement in travel time. Answer - No. 9V sis - Each driver carries at least $30 change. This will provide change for approximately 30 passengers assuming each of them hands the driver a dollar bill. No driver has asked for additional change in the last several months. On one shift a driver carries between 300 to 400 passengers and this means , - MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES HOMES 11 that a maximum of 30 passengers could ask for change without the driver running out of change. The amount of time spent on these few passengers is very small and this is not an option which represents any great time savings. 14. Issue - Peak hour problems could be eliminated by raising fares. Answer - Yes, but this is not a desirable option. Analysis - This question gets into a matter of philosophy. In general, experts in the field predict that increasing fuel prices will continue in the near and long-term future. If our society continues to operate on economic incentive, more and more citizens will utilize transit. The City Council must make the determination of how transit is financially supported. Ultimately all money comes from the general public. The decision involves what part comes from society as a whole (general fund) and what part comes from the individual rider. The City staff feels that it is a desirable objective to put as many alternativee n sthat cthe litizens ses as Possible use their gautomobile which also calls for a high expenditure of public funds. This entire issue must be addressed in the near future by completion of the Area Transportation Study. If the City becomes a standard metropolitan statistical (SMSA) area, it is a requirement that we have a completed Area Transportation Study before we will be showeligible federal hve nthat thetrhh transit system isa popular form of travel rwhich our community supports. Council must make logical decisions over the next few years to determine what percentage of funds should go into mass transit and what percentage should go into road construction. Based on our current Capital Improvement Program we are running both programs with very high levels of funding. This level of funding cannot be kept up indefinitely. 15. Issue - The drivers have proposed 40 minute headways. It is a good plan and should be used. Answer - No. Analysis - The 40 minute headway plan has several deficiencies. The following is a route schedule for arrival times of a transit bus at the corner of approximately Brookside srive chedules the Friendship. secoe first rcolumn shows h shows theactualroutetimesundershigh ridership, adverse road conditions, and the third column shows the driver's proposal.

It has been alleged that the drivers' proposal represents actual conditions. It does not. Management runs time checks under all types of conditions. A time check is attached as Exhibit A. It shows most routes were only a few minutes off schedule with difficult conditions. A few routes were off by larger amounts. The drivers' proposal represents a set of conditions in which the driver is given more slack time. If management were to institutionalize this slack time the result would be a decrease in service and a reduction in our ability to move passengers. There are additional difficulties with this 40 minute system and other modifications. Shown as Figure 1 is a figure eight which represents a typical route. The right-hand side of the page is the East College route and the left-hand side is the Manville Heights route. Each route has two buses on it at any nay given time and the buses switch with each other at their downtown exchange point. Almost without exception, each transit route has a "tight schedule" combined with a "easy" schedule. In this example, the East College route is difficult to keep on schedule during peak load, adverse road conditions, While the Manville Heights schedule is possible to make under, any conditions. We have shown bus A travel times as it traverses the East College -Manville Heights route also and bus 8 as it traverses the route.

Riders become familiar with a bus coming by at 8:00, 8:30, 9:00, 9:30, etc. It is difficult for them to mentally keep track of a bus schedule that comes by at 7:00, 7:30, 8:10, 8:40, 9:20, 9:50, etc. Other deficiencies are as follows: I. The proposal would affect all routes (except Wardway- Goodwill) equally, even those whose time problems are not severe. 2. In order to provide meal breaks to full-time drivers, relief drivers now hop from one bus to another to another. When -the buses arrive downtown 1/2 hour late, it becomes impossible to make the right connections with the West Benton -Lakeside buses. A new schedule of meal reliefs would be needed. 3. The same problem occurs at shift change time. Drivers' runs are carefully laid out to coordinate shift changes. We now change at 10:45, 2:00, 2:15 and 2:45. With the buses running 1/2 hour off schedule, shift changes would occur at 10:45, 11:15, 2:00, 2:15 2:30, and 2:45. It would be very difficult to keep track of everyone, to say nothing of the inconvenience and bad feeling caused by changing starting and quitting times. 4. Worst of all, rush hour capacity is reduced by almost 15%. During the period from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. the seven trips on each route are reduced to six. Even though on some routes we do run late, and occasionally miss trips, overall we are operating at capacity, and anything that reduces the number of trips cannot be justified. The transit manager will be among the first to acknowledge that we have had some severe scheduling problems this winter, and that some changes are needed to alleviate the immediate situation. He does not regard the drivers' proposal as the best approach to solving the problem. Switching to headways of other than 30 minutes is not a solution. Figures 2 and 3 show other headways. Disadvantages are noted on the Figures. There has also been a considerable amount of discussion about slack time. During high ridership and dry road conditions slack time is not often deliberately planned into the route schedule. On this subject the City Management -Union contract states the following: MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES A B 47 12 117 82 A B 59 24 129 94 Figure 2 35 minute headway both legs MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MORTES A B 24 59 94 129 Disadvantages: Increase headway Reduces capacity wastes time consistently Bus A Bus B A B e 0 n 12 47 35p 35-,' 82 117 707 70'-- 105 105 1404 140 A B 59 24 129 94 Figure 2 35 minute headway both legs MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MORTES A B 24 59 94 129 A B 10 50 90 130 30 minute trip 40 minute headway A B 20 60 100 130 Disadvantages: 40 minute headways Reduces capacity Wastes time consistently Bus A Bus B A B 0\` 0-,,f 50 10 30-401 40\- 130 90 80 \` 70-80'/ 110-120-/ 120\, 160 \- 150-160 40 minute trip 40 minute headway Figure 3 30 minute trip one leg 40 minute trip other leg 10 minute layover downtown to match routes / MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES A B 70 30 150 110 A B 60 20 140 100 14 "Rest Periods. Except for the transit employees, the City will provide a 15 minute rest period at two times during the regular work day. To the greatest extent possible full-time transit employees whose shifts begin before noon are entitled to take a 30 minute paid break during the middle of the work day." This means that transit employees do not and should not expect to receive the typical 15 minute coffee break morning and afternoon. These two breaks have been combined into a half hour lunch hour for which the employee is paid. As an example, a typical Civic Center employee works from 8:00 to 12:00 and takes an hour lunch break without pay and then works from 1:00 to 5:00. In the transit system, an employee works the first portion of the day without breaks, takes a half hour break with pay and then completes the remainder of their shift without a break. During rush hours, management does not expect transit employees to have "slack" time. We expect that under high load, dry road conditions drivers will be under pressure and stress to keep on schedule. Under high load, icy road conditions drivers would not normally be expected to stay on schedule, however, there should still be pressure to keep to the schedule to the extent possible. 16. Issue - Should a dissident group of drivers be allowed to use the news media and the Council as a public forum to promote their individual viewpoint? Answer - No. Analysis - In our society most individuals grow up with a fine sense of individual freedom of thought and speech. Most people consider this desirable. However, in all employment situations there are usually subordinates who do not necessarily agree with the methods and means used by their supervisors. For example, there may be employees in the Water Division who do not agree on the method used to operate the water treatment plant. There may be employees in the Street Division who do not necessarily agree with the superintendent's snow removal operation. These employees are given an opportunity to talk to the superintendent and express their viewpoint. However, chaos would result if every employees group followed a course of action now being used by a limited number of bus drivers. Management believes that the small group of drivers now using the public forum to promote their individual viewpoints should work within the procedures of the Union -Management contract. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES 15 As long as these individuals do not comply with the contract, dissension and chaos will continue. The transit system is sound. The difficulties experienced by the division this winter are similar to difficulties being experienced by the Street Division, the Water Division, and many other divisions in the City where operations must continue despite adverse winter conditions. 17. Issue - At the Council meeting of 2/13/79 a driver stated that fuel was not ordered once and buses were on the street running out of fuel. People were inconvenienced and couldn't get to work. Facts and Answers - This is incorrect. Analysis - During a recent severe snow storm a transit mechanic was pulled over to the service building to aid in repair of snow removal equipment. A substitute was sent to the Transit garage. This individual did not realize that fuel needed to be ordered. The next day it was necessary to rotate buses to refuel some of the buses. No bus ran out of fuel. No transit rider was delayed. No schedule was missed. SUMMARY The basic question to be addressed is as follows: Is the Transit system to be operated for the convenience of the customers or is the Transit system to be be operated for the convenience of drivers? Management realizes that drivers work under difficult conditions at times but management also recognizes its responsibility to provide the maximum amount of transit service to the customer. We are interested in clean buses, mechanically sound buses and buses that run on schedule. Other concerns are driver comfort, and driver environment but these are subordinate to our concerns to satisfy our customers needs. Management does not believe that Transit drivers should manage the Transit system. We believe that it is imperative that this small group of drivers utilize the written procedures specified in the City -Union contract to resolve any perceived difficulties. It is obvious that there are serious differences in viewpoint between management and this small group of drivers about the overall objectives of the Transit system. We believe that the system works best if problems between management and this group of union drivers be resolved now, and in the future, under the guidelines of the City -Union contract.

Large amounts of snow accumulation and bitter cold have hampered state, county and city crews in their efforts to keep Iowa roads safe for travel. Rural farm families have faced being snowed in for a period of time because Of county roads being drifted shut. At one time the majority of county roads were closed and many roads today have only one lane traffic, a clearly dangerous situation for motorists. City and county governments have either shifted budget allocations to cope with the extraordinary expense, thereby being forced to re- duce other meritorious programs, or have not provided adequate snow removal. The latter course of action, where taken, has resulted in substantial costs in lost salaries, motor vehicle accident claims, and an inability to respond to emergencies of various types. Equip- ment maintenance and long overtime hours have placed both mental strain and financial burden on road crews and government officials. Despite these problems, state and local governments have responded well and it now appears that the State of Iowa is being penalized for effic- iency. We would recommend, Mr. President, in view of the unusual circum- stances, you reconsider your previous decision and grant emergency funding for the State of Iowa. e 1 , f obert owne President owa City Chamber of Commerce cc: Governor Robert Ray U.

CULVER c - - MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 35-6 1 FEB 0 6 1979 Honorable John C. Culver United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Senator Culver: CyF, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Ol/ico of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards WorhmOton. U.C. 20230 This is in reply to your letter of January 18, on behalf of Isabel Turner, Chairperson, Johnson County Regional Planning Commission, concerning the possible designation of Iowa City as a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA). Before answering Ms. Turner's questions, I would like to point -out that the Federal Committee on SMSA's has made several technical modifications to the metropolitan statistical area criteria proposal which was published in November 1978. These modifications are the result of the comments received from Members of Congress, local officials, and other members of the public on the criteria proposal. One of the changes will probably allay the concerns of the Iowa City area that it may not achieve metropolitan statistical area status as a result of the 1980 census. Specifically, Criterion 1 will be modifi-. ed so that for a city with a population of 50,000 or more, the 100,000 minimum population for the metropolitan statistical areas would be waived. Since Iowa City may have a population over 50,000 for the 1980 census, metropolitan statistical area designation would, of course, also be achieved, assuming the currently proposed criteria are finally adopted for the 1980 census. It also should be pointed out that Iowa City may still qualify for SMSA status under the current criteria when the 1977 popu- lation estimates for Federal revenue sharing are issued later this year. The population of Iowa City or the combined popu- lation of Iowa City and University Heights would have to be 50,000 or more in order to achieve SMSA status. SMSA status achieved in this manner would be lost if the area fails to meet current qualifications as of the 1980 census. With respect to Ms. Turner's questions concerning a special census and deannexation, I would like to make the following MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1101r1E5 points; 1• Iowa City would achieve SMSA status under the current Criterion la if a special census indicated that Iowa City had a population over 50,000, or under Criterion lb if the combin- ed total population of Iowa City and University Heights were over 50,000 population. he owa 1980 census,ttheISMSAcstatusewould ach1beeretainedSMAtatus underbCritre the erion 9a of the proposed criteria. This status would be retained as long as the urbanized area is over 50,000 population. 3. If a special census is to be conducted to qualify under the current criteria, it would only have to be for Iowa City (to qualify under Criterion la) or for Iowa City and University Heights (to qualify under Criterion lb). The popu- lation of Iowa City or combined population of Iowa City and University Heights would have to be 50,000 or more in order to qualify. 4. The approximate cost of a special census for Iowa City, based on an estimated population of 51,500 would be $35,000 to $40,000. Arrangements for a special census must be made with the U.S. Bureau of the Census. 5• The Iowa City area would have achieved SMSA designa- tion after the 1974 special census if Coralville Cit is contiguous to Iowa City, had it had a population densitych o of 1,000 persons per square mile. (Coralville had a popula- tion of 6,605 with 7.9 square miles with a density of 836 per square mile thus disqualifying it from being counted toward the required 50,000 population.) Iowa City could be designat- ed as an SMSA if Coralville were to detach a sufficient area that would enable the overall population density of Coralville to be 1,000 persons per square mile or more. 6. It would not be necessary for a special census to be conducted if Coralville elected to detach area. The Bureau of the Census could certify the population of the area detached by a Census -office procedure using the records of the 1974 special census. The cost for determining the population in the detached area would be borne by the local agency making the request. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DCS MOIMCS r t 3 In view of the most recent modification of the proposed SMSA criteria to allow areas with a city of 50,000 or more popula- tion which do not have 100,000 population in the metropolitan statistical area to qualify as an SMSA, iuld appear that any special step such as a detachment wou w b necessary.

Welsh 337-4181 After several months on "hold," the joint Senior Center/Housing project in down - Iowa City is very much on the move again. That's the result of actions by the local Ecumenical Housing Corporation and Iowa City's City Council during the past week of deadlines and decisions. j The joint project will have the old Post Office building renovated into a new Senior Center and a tower apartment building for low -rent elderly housing constructed adjacent to it. Much of the renovation and construction is being financed by funding provided through federal government loans and grants. A lengthy statement released today by the Ecumenical Housing Corporation (EHC) a nonprofit corporation formed by 12 local churches, clarifies the negotiations with the Knights of Columbus, the current status and future plans for the housing portion of the joint project. I The statement confirms that the EHC now plans to construct and manage approxi- mately 64 units of elderly housing in a nine story apartment building. "We regret that it is no longer possible for us to build the 100 units we had originally planned," said the Rev. Robert L. Poelsh, president of the local corporation, in the prepared statement. He said the original plans required the EHC to obtain a 20 -foot easement (air rights) above a possible third floor to the present Knights of Columbus building in order I I to comply with conditions established by the Des Moines HUD office, when they approved the corporation's preliminary proposal. "Being forced to construct the reduced number of apartments will not only mean that there will be fewer apartments to serve those in need, it will mean (based on 64 units) that over $1,200,000 of federal funds will not be available to assist the elderly, and that some management services we had planned for the on-going operation of our housing facility will need to be curtained" explained Welsh. r MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140tt4ES 3.S% "It's a crying shame that the elderly of this community will be deprived (if the ) additional apartments, federal funds, and special services. "But," he added In a positive note, "there will be ino roduction in the quality of the apartments we are able to construct. We will make each of the units in our building the very largest and best possible. The building will be a fine facility and certainly a fine service, especially when combined with the city's new senior center, to the elderly of our community." The air rights problem, which surfaced into a point of some controversy earlier this month, was responsible for placing the entire joint project on "hold" for the past several months. In commenting on the problem, Rev. Welsh recounted the long process of negotiations between EHC and local Knights of Columbus organization. He said it all began with a preliminary inquiry to the Knights last May. "At that time, they (Knights) expressed hope that air rights would not be needed and we mutually i agree not to proceed unless the air rights were required. "By October it became clear we would need the air rights in order to proceed as planned with our 100 -unit apartment building. At that time the Knights informed us that they had the ability to add a third story and that if we needed air rights above the present I building, that would cause some problems. HUD agreed to allow us to proceed if we obtained air rights above a possible future third story. The Knights felt, even with this concession, their air rights were worth $50,000. "However, based on land cost, square footage of easement, potential heights of future buildings, and other consideration, we felt that $5,000 was a fair and equitable price, but because of our commitment to the elderly and our desire to see the project move forward without further delay, we offered to pay $12,500. This offer was rejected. "After that, it Is our understanding that the Knights of Columbus membership urged the Board of Directors of their Building Association to negotiate with us for a figure less than $50,000. In light of that action by the Knights' membership, we offered to mutually select an independent qualified appraiser, which we would pay for, if the Knights would agree to seJI us the air rights for the appraised value. But the KC's r'A MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1a010ES 3) Building Association's Board of Directors again refused, indicating they would consider only an offer equal to or for more than their original asking price of $50,000. "After much soul searching, our corporation's board members decided to offer the Knights $50,000 to be paid with $10,000 down and the remainder over the 40 -year period of our mortgage with HUD. When that offer was also rejected, we offered to make payments over a 20 -year period. That, also, was rejected by the association's board. "Their offer of last Tuesday to sell us the air rights for $50,000 to be paid over a 10 -year period, giving us 24 hours to consider and reply, would have doubled the funds we needed to put in escrow, and thus made it economically unfeasible for us. We were forced to reject that and turn to the alternate plan for a building with considerably fewer apartments, but one that would not require the air rights. "Through the negotiations, our prime concern has been to do what would enable us to best serve the elderly of this community. We extended ourselves as far as we could. "The churches of this community formed our corporation and got involved In this project to serve the elderly and to provide them with apartments that will exceed the minimum standards and with a management of compassion and concern. We are still in that business and will do the best we can to achieve that goal. "We are committed to the joint Senior Center/Housing Project," added Welsh, who is also pastor of the local First Christian Church, "and we believe this will be an important contribution to the life of our community's present and future elderly. We are proud to be a part of the joint project with the city. We know that we will need the sup- port of the entire community, as we proceed, and trust that we will all now work together for the good of the elderly." Although he emphasized that the Ecumenical Housing Corporation is now proceed - Ing "full speed ahead" with construction plans for the reduced number of housing units, Welsh pointed out that the next six days provide at least the possibility of an "11th hour" move that might possibly revert the housing project to its original 100 -unit plan. He r - MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES I101NES 4) said those possibilities include the chance that (1) the Knights of Columbus membership might jointly act to override the board of directors of their Building Association, or that (2) some individual or group could purchase the KC's building and give or sell the necessary air rights. "But," he pointed out, "The EHC's board meeting set for next Wednesday marks the point of no return in finalizing the basic design for the housing facility, because of HUD deadlines. "We are most anxious to get on with our final planning and begin construction as soon as possible." The EHC is composed of seven members from each of the 12 participating churches with a 13 -member Board of Directors coordinating its efforts on the joint project.

'In 1974, several' women elected of- ficials discussed the need for greater .involvement by women officials in the League's policymaking and activities. ;They decided that a caucus was needed — a special forum in which women elected officials could exchange ideas And encourage the 'participation of women officials in NLC. In 1974, the NLC Board of Directors approved the creation of Women in Municipal Government and -bylaws were 'established. .. : WIMG was seen as a way to en- courage and identify qualified women elecied officials for servke' on NLC committees and task forms and promote issues of interest to women. Through its leadership of five officers and len regional representatives, WIMG has started a network of Women local officials. In addition, WIMG has coordinators in stale municipal leagues responsible for sharing the caucus' concerns and program with women at the slate level in the 13 states where there are statewide drganizations of women in municipal government. In the past five years, WIMG sponsored workshops at the Congress of Cities, the Congressional -City Conference, and the several regional meetings. Strategies for working with other local officials, 'improving political skills and public relations techniques were among the many topics. During the coming year we will concentrate on three goals. The first is to create a strong network of state women's groups. At the Congress of • Cities in St. Louis, Sheila Cheimets of the Massachusetts League of Cities and Towns described the organization of women mayors'and councilmembers that'promoles the interests of cities in • the state legislature. This organization, WEMO (Women Elected Municipal Officials), serves as a network - a line of'communication among women local officials. Its impact is evident in the number of women it identified who were appointed recently to state commissions and other offices. The second goal of WIMG this year Is the promotion of women within the structure of NLC. WIMG has been successful in the past few years in getting women officials elected to leadership positions within NLC. We must continue to promote qualified .women to positions on the Board of Directors, the various NLC policy committees and task forces, and ad- visory committees. Finally, our most vital concern this year must be the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. Every woman elected official worked hard for her position and now we must work equally as hard to achieve equal -activities E rights for all women. Other women's groups have led the way, but as elected t officials we have an opportunity to reach some state legislators that others cannot. We have the strength, both in, numbers and in resolve. In my state of Iowa alone, there are 32 women mayors and 454 women coun- , clmembers. We cannot allow, ourf differences or tactical approaches to - divide divide us, but must support each' other's efforts. Make your plans now to attend the; Congressional -City Conference and;, the Sunday breakfast and workshop; and Monday business meeting of WIMG where we will learn how to be. more effective as elected officials.: i More on this next month.❑ t MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -Ors polars ® johnson county "® GDregional planning commission ® 0 221/2 south dubuque street, iowa city, iowo 52240 (319)351-8556Isabel Turner cw,,, Emil L.8rorldt 6ec�iire O.r«ror February 13, 1979 MEETING NOTICE Mental Health/Chemical Dependency Subcommittee Monday, February 26, 1979 3:00 p.m. First Christian Church Lounge Iowa City, Iowa 52240 AGENDA Development of the position paper on substance abuse using the out- line submitted by Larry Schmidt.

There was a discussion of the goals and objectives for the plan, with Subcommittee members questioning how the objectives were derived and how they would be imple- mented. Not everyone was aware of the function of the HSA and it was agreed that a representative of the agency be invited to meet with the Subcommittee before February 22, 1979, which is the last date that comments on the plan can be submitted to JCRPC and then to ECICOG.
