CIVIC CENTER CONFERENCE ROOM MEMBERS PRESENT: Bolnick, Denniger, Hotka, Stager. STAFF PRESENT: Tinklenberg, Lee. RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUCIL The Resources Conservation Commission recommends that the City Council approve the scope of services for the contract with Charles J. R. McClure and Associates. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN Bolnick moved, Stager seconded, to approve the minutes of January 23, 1979, meeting as read. Approved unanimously. Demonstration of Hewlett-Packard Programmable Calculator Mike Kucharzak outlined the following two alternatives available to the City concerning the enforcement of Iowa Energy Code and stated that a cost benefit analysis is needed: 1) The City could continue the status quo - where private engineering firms certify new buildings as being in compliance with the Code. 2) The City could handle the certification process itself. If this alternative is chosen, then should the City purchase an instrument such as the Hewlett-Packard Programmable Calculator and train its staff to perform the calculations? He stated that the problem with the status quo is that some firms are using form letters to certify building plans as being in compliance with the Code. As a result the inspectors have no basis for determining whether the building complies when it is built. In regards to the second alternative, a possible arrangement would be to purchase the instrument at a cost of approximately $10,000 and hire someone such as Jim Schonefelder as a consultant to help set the program up, train the staff and serve as a backup for six months for approximately an additional $10,000. Jim Schonefelder, from the Central States Energy Research Cooperation, demonstrated that the calculator is capable of calculating building heat loss, heat gain, electrical power budget, thermal charge and F charge. Kucharzak discussed the cost to the citizen. A $20 per print review charge will pay the equipment back in 1.7 years. The alternative is 24 per square foot for new buildings and 14 for y� y MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES I101nES z remodeling or additions. This compares to the $50 per review currently charged by private firms. 1 The Commission discussed whether the City should purchase the calculator and train the staff to operate it or maintain the status quo. The Commissioners listed the following problems: -The inspectors still would not be able to tell if the building component as built complied with the Code. -The private sector must keep up with the changes, since that is their business, whereas the City staff may not be able to. i -The staff turnover problem. -Engineers would be able to make more of an intelligent guess concerning what value to assign to the various components of a wall, ceiling, floor, etc. � -There will be a loss in efficiency for staff. Advantages suggested: -Citizens would tend to trust the City more. -There would be a lower cost to the building public. -The alternatives of using a large computer to perform this calcualtion is not feasible since most of its time would be picking up and processing all the City records. The Commission decided to conclude the discussion during the next meeting. Library Schematic Review The Commissioners reviewed the Library schematics. Scope of Services for Consultants' Study of Civic Center Denniger suggested a change of language in Section I.A.7 to include a rate of return statement so that laymen can readily understand the recommendation. Stager moved, Dolnick seconded, to recommend that the City Council approve the scope of services for contract with Charles J. R. McClure and Associates as prepared by Plastino and modified. Approved unanimously. National Energy Act Tinklenberg contacted Professor Ellis and his students to obtain their help in analyzing the energy act. Professor Ellis MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES I10IDES 3 expressed interest but will consult with his colleagues before making a commitment. The energy package was divided between the Commissioners for the analysis and summarization. Hotka will take the Natural Gas Policy Act and the Powerplant and Industrial Fuel Use Act (621 and 620), Denniger will take the National Energy Conservation Policy Act (619), Bolnick will take the Public Utility Regulatory Policy Act (617), and Stager will take the Energy Tax Act (618). Each Commissioner is to make a status report at the next meeting. OTHER BUSINESS Tinklenberg reported on the City Council action on the EPA financial assistance program. The City Council felt that recycling should be dealt with one step at a time and since the newspaper recycling pickup required a substantial commitment, the Council decided to look at recycling other materials at a later time. Also, the Council wished to see what effect the "Bottle Bill" would have. Tinklenberg reported an the staff reponse to the RCC request to have the advisory member departmental heads attend each meeting. The City Manager has reaffirmed the policy of having department heads attend only when something concerns their department. Tinklenberg is to contact them directly for them to attend Commission meetings. Election of new officers is postponed until March, Bolnick was appointed as the Acting Secretary. Agenda for next meeting: -Conclusion of discussion concerning programmable calculator. -National Energy Act Status Report. -Recycling - Publicity help for Free Environment.

He reported that the Commission was planning on using $30,000 of the money for a bikeway project and $7,500 for staff time to investigate other funding sources. commission Hillman and Ward expressed concern about some the old public library site included, i.e. ar lot separate. Showalter explained that there the facility site and keeping the parking lot would be legally possible. Hillman inquired about the proposed arboretum and Showalter outlined tentative plans and invited any interested Commission members to attend Arboretum Planning Committee meetings. The Parks and Recreation Commission has always supported the arboretum project. There were no objections to Planning Concept 1 as presented. apparent confusion as to what the building and the parking was some interest in selling ithatnly as City property athat Director's report. Showalter reported that the City had acquired the Solnar property for $1,200 and that signs had been made for five small parks. He also reported that Level II had been approved for the Central Business District budget. The boat ramp in City Park was discussed with Lee indicating that the reasons it had been closed were complaints regarding safety for canoes, erosion, noise, and protection of the ducks on the river. There was a concensus that the Commission was not interested in seeing the ramp re -opened.

Lee forwarded a request to the Commission for their recommendation concerning use of the Recreation Center overnight by the Mississippi Valley Girl Scout Council. He reported that the group would not meet the residency requirement for use of the Center because only about 23 people out of approximately 100 to 150 would be residents of Iowa City. He also pointed out that a similar request had been refused in 1975 and that he was concerned about setting a * precendent for overnight use of the Center.

It was informally agreed to approve the minutes as written. OLDER AMERICAN'S DAY Older American's Day was addresssed first. Meisel introduced journalism students Jan Klutz and Linda Hirsch who are willing to work on publicity relating to this project. Poynter suggested that they contact a reporter on the Cedar Rapids Gazatte to ascertain how she is able to obtain so much space to report on events j relating to the elderly community. He suggested that the Press Citizen be approached about the possibility of devoting an entire page various times in May. This page could include pictures and articles for the elderly, etc. Lewis offered to help on this project. Pollock getting little response when asking for volunteers for a Committee to plan the day, suggested that a Committee be formed at the next meeting of Council of Elders. Roberts suggested it be placed on the March agenda so that members would be prepared to discuss it. Kuhn moved that Council of Elders sponser Older American's Day some time in May in the most appropriate facility available. Seconded by Poynter. Passed by unanimous vote.

COUNCIL OF ELDER FURNITURE AND SERVICE SURVEY Council of Elders members and other concerned citizens had agreed to informally survey the elderly community as to which services (in addition to the seven basic services: Health, Nutrition, Education, Recreation, Information and Referral, Social Services, Volunteer/Employment) they would be interested in receiving at the Senior Center. They were also asked to choose among facilities and equipment for those most important to them. Pollock collected the surveys and advised the members that the city staff would tabulate them and prepare a press release as to the results. 1979 COUNCIL OF ELDERS ELECTION Pollock asked the Council members present to volunteer for a Nominating Committee. Three members were chosen, Moore, Kuhn, and Carlton with Poynter as the alternate member. The Chairperson for this Committee will be Kuhn. The Council of Elders approved the nominations unanimously. SLIDE SHOW AND PROGRAM Ben Wiese presented a slide show entitled "The Bridge" from the National Institute of Senior Centers. Vann told the Council that the staff has revised the Ebenezer Architectural Program for the Senior Center. It has recently been given to the architect Roland Wehner. In early March the schematic floor plans will be finished and available for review by the public for additional input. A University of Iowa design class will bring a design to the March Council of Elders meeting. The contract for construction will hopefully be awarded in June 1979. The present plan for opening of the Senior Center is that it will occur in May 1980 during Older American's month. Vann presented an organizational chart of the Senior Center to the Council of Elders. She informed them that the City Council thought this would be a workable plan. She said that the Senior Center Commission would receive advise from the Council of Elders, Service providers, and others. She further explained that the bylaws of the Senior Center Commission in draft form are at the City Council now and will then go to Johnson County. Vann suggested to the Council of Elders to provide input to the City Council for members to be elected to the Senior Center Commission. Vann also mentioned that brochures would need to be produced to explain the programs and services provided by the Senior Center. The public will need to know what to expect from a Senior Center. The Council of Elders could be very helpful in planning and distributing such a publication. OTHER BUSINESS A question was raised if the City Council was going to procede with the Senior Center if the Ecumenical Housing Corporation was delayed. Vann said the City does plan to move on their project regardless of the outcome of the Ecumenical Housing project. Hopefully, however, housing for the elderly will be built adjacent to the Center. She said that at this time a building containing less MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES t101flES MINUTES COUNCIL OF ELDERS FEBRUARY 14, 1979 -- 1:00 P.M. PAGE 3 than 100 units was being reviewed. Mary Rock said that she had been told that the Ecumenical Housing Board had approved a 64 unit building. She suggested that the Council of Elders consider writing a letter or letters to the Ecumenical Corporation supporting Reverend Welsh and the Board. Pollock said the Council of Elders should express their interest in having an elderly apartment complex adjacent to the Senior Center. Moore, Kuhn and Dennis were unanimously elected to write the letter. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

SUMMARY OP DISCUSSION Chairperson Lilly brought the meeting to order. The minutes for ,lanuary 17 and .January 24 were discussed and approved unanimously. Lilly presented a newspaper article to the Committee "Cities get the Image they Deserve," and suggested that the members read it. Lilly advised the Committee that Norm Bailey of North Bay Construction, Inc. had contacted her to discuss his plans. She had indicated to Mr. Bailey that she would prefer that he discussed the plans with the entire Committee. Glaves advised the Committee that Dick Pattschull would not be present to discuss the new building he is designing at the corner of Burlington and Dubuque Streets at this time. Lilly opened the discussion of the building to be constructed by North Bay Construction. Lilly stated that she did not feel it was the Committee's respon- sibility to design the building. Claves asked if the Committee could identify their concerns regarding materials, color, texture, or proportion of the building, in order to advise Mr. Bailey. Alexander said the main concern was the scale Of the building in relation to the College Block building. Glaves asked if the Committee was concerned with the proportion of the building designed or with the fact that it was not a three story building. The Committee indicated that a taller building would be better. Seiberling inquired as to why the City Council had not required a three or four story building instead of a two story building. Glavosexplained the conclusions reached by Don Zuchelli in researching supportable retail and office space in downtown Iowa City, and explained why the Council had been concerned about protecting the existing downtown by not allowing too much new retail or office space to be built. PENTACREST GARDEN APARTMENTS Glaves reviewed from the minutes the three reasons the Committee had previously felt the planting plan for Pentacrest Garden Apartments should be revised. These reasons were: the use of Russian Olive trees, the use of Hopa Crab trees, and the use of Sugar Maple trees in an area where they were susceptible to exhaust fumes and salt. Glaves presented the revised Planting Plan, noting that the placement of the plant materials was unchanged with the exception of four trees added. Ile then reviewed the changes made by the landscape architect. The Sugar y27 s MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES MIND TS DESIGN REVIEW COMMI'ITEE FEBRUARY 14, 1979 -- 4:00 P.M. I'AGI: 2 Maples on the parking islands were being replaced with Hackberry trees; the Hopa Crabs were being deleted and replaced with other varieties of Crab; and the use of the Russian Olives were being retained. Seiberling stated that the Russian Olive trees required extensive maintenance and a relative open space in which to grow. She suggested the developer should select a tree which would remain smaller and in a more regular form with less amintenance. Seiberling suggested that the developer, and the Committee, should look at the Russian Olives which are located on highway 6 near B.A. Horner and the old Cline Implement buildings. She said a tree such as a Calory Pear would appear nicer and be more appropriate in the space provided. Don Sinck suggested Coxpur Hawthorn as an acceptable substitute. Glaves asked the Committee whether they wished to disapprove the planting plan due to the use of Russian Olives, or whether they wished the substitutions to be suggested to the developer but nor required. Seiberling responded that it was overall a good plan and that it should not be disapproved but rather the developer should be made aware that the Russian Olives would be a high mainten- ance tree and one which has recently not survived well in urban environments. Ilaupert moved and Sinek seconded a motion to recommend to the City Council the approval of the planting plan with the provision that the developer may substitute the following trees for the Russian Olives: Calory Pear, Bradford Pear, or Coxpur Hawthorn. Unanimously approved. NORTH BAY CONSTRUCTION COMPANY INC. Norman Bailey was present to receive additional advice from the Committee regarding the design of his building. In response to the Committee's previously expressed concerns, the windows had been lengthened vertically with a soldier course of bricks below the second story windows to make the building appear higher. The window arrangement had been changed to a more vertical pattern to emphasize building height. In response to the previous suggestion from the Committee the brick had been changed from a dark brick to a light brick. The brick now being proposed was buff colored, and would be accented with dark anodized aluminum window and door trim and a dark anodized aluminum mansard roof. The doors will have a textured metal panel similar to the other metal being used. Lilly asked if a third floor was being considered. Bailey stated that Ile would like to construct three floors if it is feasible. However, his study of the downtown office space market indicated that constructing a third floor to contain office space was not supportable. There was discussion regarding the downtown office market and the market for office space in outlying areas. Summerwill inquired if apartments could be located on the third floor. Bailey explained the relationship between construction costs and required rent. lie explained that based on the square foot construction costs rent would have to be over $300, Pit's utilitites, for a small one bedroom apartment. Lilly stated that after seeing the first plans done by Bill Nowysz. and the second plans, she felt there had to be a better design which was somewhere in between the two. Wegman stated that if Mr. Bailey had brought the existing plans to the Committee in the first place, they probably would have been approved, but compared to his first design, they were disappointing. Bailey indicated that he felt the Committee was holding him to a higher standard than others MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIOIaEs MINUTES DESIGN REVIEW CDIIMITTEE FEBRUARY 14, 1979 -- 4:00 P.M. PAGE 3 Who had constructed huildings on urban renewal property. Alexander stated that what was constructed on other property was not relevant. Lilly indicated that the Committee's concern for a higher quality building was because of the location of this particular site. Alexander felt the building was too massive and bulky looking in relation to the College Block building. He thought the angled side should have a floating quality. There was considerable discussion re- garding the color of the brick. Several members preferred light brick; several members preferred dark brick; and several members did not care which brick was used, but objected to the use of the mansard roof and window and door frames as accent materials. Summerwill thought that the angled area of the building should stand out as a feature adjacent to the fountain. The Committee discussed the angle of the mansard roof, and there was a question as to why the mansard was angled so steeply. Glaves explained that the nearly vertical mansard was used because of the concern the Committee had expressed for the lack of height in a two story building. The mansard roof angled this way allows the building to appear taller, since the mansard would remain visable to pedestrians at street level. Sinek agreed the steeper mansard made the structure appear taller and thought it looked better. There was discussion regarding whether the brick used should match Plaza Centre One or should match City Plaza or should be lighter to contrast with these features. The Committee did not reach a consensus. Lilly stated that she thought a better design could be done if Bailey had a different architect. Mr. Bailey indicated that he appreciated the meeting with the Committee and that he would discuss all of the suggestions with his architect, and would return to the Committee with plans. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Our street, Wayne Avenue, happens to be one of the streets being used for the "experiment". I contacted one of the City Council persons after the street signs were placed and he did not know why we were not contacted for a hearing be— fore the decision was made. When parking was removed from one side in prior years, we were contacted by postcard plus there was adequate notice in the papers. Because we now have parking on only one side, the present restriction in effect removes practically all parking from the street. The removal has already caused us some unnecessary inconvenience recently when we had a guest from Omaha. If the removal of parking was done primarily for snow removal, then I think it could be done as well in another matter. If it were done to remove cars from the streets, then I believe that you are trying for the impossible. (Our guest parked in front of someone elses house on another street). Please reconsider your actions and if there is anything that our neighbor— hood must do to correct the situation, please advise.

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB (Enna RAVIDS•DE, 1+0lrlEs 2A—lona City Press-Cilizeu—Wednesday, November 15,1978 _C•ity Council enacts partial truck ban on Kirkwood The Iowa City Council voted 42 Tuesday to enact a partial truck em- bargo gn Kirkwood Avenue. ` The Council also held public hear- ings on a controversial grocery and drug store development on North Dodge, and on proposed uses for the final $1.1 million in federal "commu- nity development" funds. Voting against the Kirkwood truck embargo were Mayor Robert Vevera and Councilman Glenn Roberts, who had earlier expressed reservations about the plan. Voting "yes" were Council members Clemens Erdahl, David Perret, Mary Neuhauser and John Balmer. Councilwoman Carol deProsse, who has supported the con- cept of a partial Kirkwood Avenue truck ban, was not at Tuesday's meet- Ing- ; The embargo is intended to ellml- nate large trucks, including concrete and tractor-traller trucks, from the .largely residential Kirkwood Avenue running parallel to Highway e, while allowing smaller trucks, such as Iowa -Mots Gas. and Electric Co. vehicles, to use the street, city offl- cials explained. An Iowa -Illinois ser vice building is at the east end of the embargoed area. The street is to be embargoed,for trucks licensed to carry more than 10 tonsr : The Council asked the city staff to draft the ordinance earlier this fail, after residents of the area com- plained that heavy truck traffic has endangered pedestrians, bicyclists and children playing, driven people indoors during the summer and made sleeping difficult. ' During a hearing on a proposed re- zoning for a planned Hy -Vee Food Store and drug store development on North Dodge, residents of the area spoke both for and against the shop- ping center plans. However, Council members noted that the current zoning proposal will not determine whether the store will be built—but rather the type of shop- ping center development that will occur. Earl er this year, a Council majori. ty failed by one vote to change an existing, two -acre commercial zone on the site to an apartment classifica. tion that would have blocked the go. council roundup eery store plan. Council members had argued that a shopping center at that spot, now an open area on the northwest corner of Highway 1 (North Dodge Street) and North Du- buque Road, would lead to traffic congestion and force the eventual wi. dening of North Dodge through a cur- rently residential area. - Following the failure of the apart- ment rezoning proposal, Hy -Vee an- nounced plans to build a grocery store on the existing, two -acre com- mercial zone, and the Zoning Com- mission reconsidered a previously re- jected Hy -Vee request for a "Planned Commercial Development Plan" that would add the two acres to the existing commercial area and pro- vide for a drug store. Commission member Robert Oge- sen explained Tuesday that the last Commission decision was based on a new city staff study concluding that a neighborhood commercial center "could be supported" by the, sur- rounding trade area and would be "consistent" with the city's new cpm. prehensive plan. Ogesen said the Cqmmisslon deemed the "planned commercial" zoning preferable to what would be MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB I U,;,+ .,4,':',5.:11 . 1!,I built under the existing zoning, be- cause It would allow for a greater setback from the street and would give the city more control over such matters as turning lanes, traffic con- trol and visual screening. But Ogesen's explanations did not satisfy area residents who have bit- terly oppoAd a major grocery store on that entrance to the city. . "It looks like what we feared most is what we're going to get—a shop. ping center up there," said William' 'Gerhard of 1109 Prairie du Chien Road "I hate to see the integrity of a neighborhood destroyed because a big company has the time and the money to keep pushing something," he added. -Hy-Vee Vice President, James Meyer, however, responded with an assurance that the company Is con,-, corned about the neighborhood., "The integrity of the neighborhood Is some. thing we also had in mind in the way we've approached this.

Neil Berlin City Manager Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear IIr. Berlins I would like to say something about the bus situation in Iowa City. With the price of gas going up in the near future, it seems to me that the only solution for most of us is to improve the transit system in Iowa City. I live on WyldeGreen Road (near Ashley Drive). It is a long walk to Benton Street to get the bus. Once I get downtown, I then have to wait for a transfer to Towncrest, which is whore I work. I would ride the bus every day if there was an improvement in this service. I'm sure there are many more people in my situation in Iowa City. Give me a good transportation system and I'll gladly leave my car hemp every day. Since there is quite slot of development in this part of town, it would seem feasible to include the people who live in the Southwest part of Iowa City when planning a future bus system. I I do feel the bus drivers have tried very hard to stay on schedule this winter despite overwhelming odds. The few weeks I have rddden the bus, j I found most of them to be very courteous, though conditions were pretty bad.

Date: February 23, 1979 To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council From: James*Brachtel, Traffic Engineer Re: Parking on the 800 Block of Summit Street As directed by Section 23-16 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City this is to advise you of the following action: ACTION: Pursuant to Section 23-234 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City, Iowa, the City Traffic Engineer will direct that signs be installed on the west side of the 800 block of S. Summit Street so as to permit one-hour parking for four vehicles. This action will be taken on or shortly after February 26, 1979. COMMENT: This action is being taken to provide short-term on -street parking for the commercial interests located at 812 S. Summit Street. Prior to the the 22nd of February, 1979, parking on the west side of Summit Street was not controlled. On the 22nd of February City crews installed signs which prohibited parking from 8 A.M. until 5 P.M. Monday through Friday. This prohibition Was in effect from Washington Street south to the railroad bridge. The action being taken by the City Engineer Will provide on -street parking for the commercial interest which under the February 22 posting would have no on -street parking. If Council has difficulties with the action as taken by the City Traffic Engineer the signs will be removed and the situation will be corrected as Council directs. jm5/21 FEB2 31979 �UBIE S'i OLFUS CITY.

This action will be taken on or I shortly after March 16, 1979. COMMENT: This action is being taken to protect the pedestrian movement across Gilbert during the Prentiss Street phase. At the present time when pedestrians are allocated a protected crossing phase right turning vehicles from Bowery are moving across the crosswalk on the north side of Prentiss Street. This vehicular/pedestrian conflict when it arises does so as a surprise to both the pedestrian and the vehicular driver. The elimination of the right turn on red will eliminate this hazardous conflict. cc: Neal Berlin jm4/7 MAR 21979 ABBIE STOLFUS CITY CLERK Z12 9 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140111ES MINUTES IOWA CITY PLANNING B ZONING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 26, 1979 -- 7:30 P.M. CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS MEMBERS PRESENT: Blum, Cain, Jakobsen, Ogesen, Vetter MEMBERS ABSENT: Kammermeyer, Lehman STAFF PRESENT: Boothroy, Schmeiser, Wilkinson RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL: 1. S-7901. That the preliminary and final Large Scale Non -Residential Development plan of ACT testing processing facility be approved with the stipulation that before City Council action an agreement be drawn up by which ACT Circle can be improved, dedicated to the City, and accepted by the City; and contingent upon the signatures of the utility companies being provided and the number of parking spaces being changed in accordance with the Board of Adjustment variance. 2. S-7903. That the final plat of Lyn -Den Heights, Part 2, be approved contingent upon the legal papers being revised and the street requirements of the Rural Development Standards being waived. REQUESTS TO THE CITY MANAGER FOR INFORMATION OR STAFF ASSISTANCE: None SU141ARY OF DISCUSSION AND ACTION TAKEN: Blum called the meeting to order and asked if anyone present wished to discuss any item not included on the agenda. No one responded. Blum then called for consideration of the minutes of the meetings of January 29 (informal meeting) and February 1, 1979. The minutes were approved unar:imously as circulated. S-7901. Public discussion of a preliminary and final Large Scale Non -Residential Development plan of ACT testing processing facility, located northwest of Highway 1, south of Interstate 80, and westerly of Howard Johnson's; 45 -day limitation period: waived. Boothroy presented an overlay of the area and explained that the Board of Adjustment had granted variances allowing the number of parking spaces to be decreased from 153 to 96 and allowing a building to be constructed on a lot without frontage on a public street. He further stated that the Commission might consider requiring that ACT Circle be dedicated to the City. Schmeiscr stated that the Board of Adjustment feels that they do not have the authority to designate private streets and drives as "officially approved places". fie further explained that there is nothing in the Subdivision Ordinance regarding "officially approved places" but that the Board of Adjustment has historically made these designations. 41y/ MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS.DES wOtOES Planning and Zoning Commission February 26, 1979 Page 2 Mike Kammerer of Shive-Hattery explained that this item had been brought in with the intention of dedicating the street to the City. He further explained that the street had been built to City standards with the exception of a curb in front of Howard Johnson's. Howard Johnson's, while they have already signed the dedication document, is unwilling to make the necessary improvements to facilitate the dedication. He stated that one option might be to have the City do the improvements and assess the cost back to Howard Johnson's. He further pointed out that Texaco is the only owner that has not yet signed the dedication document. Mr. Kammerer explained that ACT is willing to do the rough grading and seeding to accommodate future expansion of the parking area. A discussion regarding the possible improvements necessary to expedite the dedication of the private street to the City followed. Commissioners were of the opinion that the time has come that the street should be dedicated to the City as a public street. Possible options open to the City regarding this dedication include: (1) having the City provide the improvements and assess the cost back to Howard Johnson's, (2) having ACT pay for the street improvements after the dedication, and (3) having the City pay the costs. Cain moved, and Vetter seconded, that the preliminary and final Large Scale Non - Residential Development plan of ACT testing processing facility be approved with the stipulation that before City Council action an agreement be drawn up by which ACT Circle can be improved, dedicated to the City, and accepted by the City; and contingent upon the signatures of the utility companies being provided and the number of parking spaces being changed in accordance with the Board of Adjustment variance. The motion carried unanimously s -o. S-7903. Public discussion of the final plat of Lyn -Den Heights, Part 2, located one mile north of Interstate 80 and one-quarter mile east on Rapid Creek Road and south one-quarter mile. Boothroy presented an overlay and explained that the final plat is in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat and that it is in compliance with the City's Stormwater Management Ordinance. In answer to a question regarding septic tank leeching fields and stormwater basins, Scott Barker, attorney for the developer, stated that the County Board of Health has been consulted and that there is room on the lots for leeching fields. Mr. Barker indicated that in light of the recent action by the City Council in deferring the installation of stormwater management basins in Woodland Hills, Second Addition, which is within the same area, they would be making the same request to the Council. He indicated that the Commission may wish to review that option to forestall delay in referring the matter back to the Commission. Blum called for a vote on the approval of the final plat of Lyn -Den Heights, Part 2. Approval was unanimous. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DF.S MOIRES Planning and Zoning Commission February 26, 1979 Page 3 Blum reported to the Commission that City Council had chosen not to accept the Commission's recommendation regarding the closing of Melrose Court. He further stated that he had been rather upset with the criticism that P$Z had received for making the recommendation. In answer to questions regarding the status of the Commission Bylaws, Blum explained that he has asked that something be done and that staff has prepared a list of the things that Planning and Zoning does. He further stated that he feels after looking at the list that there is not a lot that the Commission does that they are not required to do. He feels that the Commission should wait until something is referred to them before taking further action on the Bylaws. Schmeiser updated progress on the new zoning ordinance, stating that he has completed the parking standards and is back on the Tree Regulations. Hopefully the ordinance will be completed in draft form by July 1. j There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

This action will be taken on or shortly after March 14, 1979. COMMENT: At the present time a "No Parking Corner to Here" prohibition exists in the first 40 feet of this area. This "No Parking Corner to Here" zone is being extended so as to permit the resident at 248 Hutchinson Avenue to have access to and from their drive. This will remove three additional parking stalls from this 200 block of Hutchinson Avenue but will have minimum affect upon street storage for the abutting property owners. jm3/21 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1101NE5 FI L r FEBFEB2 8 1979 ,�BBIE STOLFUS CITY CLERK vy z.

P.O. Box 168 Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Approval of a preliminary and final LSNRD plan To construct a 45,000 square foot building for the purposes of receiv- ing, sorting, assembling, and dis- tributing printed materials for use in ACT's programs Highway 1 and Interstate 80, westerly of Howard Johnson's Approximately 12 acres Undeveloped and CO East - office, motel and CH South - office and ORP West - agricultural and RIB North - Interstate 80 Provisions of the LSNRD and Stormwater Management Ordinances and the Tree Regulations. 2/21/79 Adequate water service is available. Sanitary sewer will be provided by use of septic tank systems. Sanitary service is available as well as police and fire protection. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOVIES zly3 Transportation: Vehicular access is via ACT Circle from Highway 1. Physical characteristics: The topography is gently sloping to steep (2-25 percent). ANALYSIS The applicant proposes constructing a 45,000 square foot building which will serve as a facility for receiving, sorting, assembling and distributing printed materials for use in ACT's programs. The facility is intended to employ up to 43 people at peak periods during large-scale distribution; however, the building will also provide overflow space for registration, test processing, student need analysis, and other work related activities where additional space would be required. The existing zoning (CO) allows the type of use proposed by the applicant as long as not more than 40 percent of the total floor area is used for incidental storage. Access is being proposed to this development via ACT Circle from Highway 1. A portion of this street is already constructed over a private 70 foot wide access easement. The City could not accept the street a portion of which is over a private access easement. In order for the street to be accepted, there needs to be provided certain necessary improvements to the existing paving and right-of- way. The following are the joint recommendations of Engineering, Planning, and Traffic Engineering concerning the subject access road into the ACT site. 1. The north side of the existing street should be brought to City standards. This would include curb with the appropriate curb drops, etc. for the driveways into Howard Johnson's. 2. The hard surface area from the curb to the property line should be removed to allow a grass parking and maintained so no parking would be allowed in this area. The applicant has indicated to the staff the intention to appear before the Board of Adjustment requesting ACT Circle be designated as an officially approved place. By the Board's granting of the applicant's request ACT Circle would remain as a private street and the above improvements would not be required. Rezoning the subject property from CO to ORP per the applicant's request would require providing a front yard of 200 feet and a side yard of 100 feet. The applicant does not feel he can provide the necessary front yard because of an existing utility easement limiting building placement. An appeal to the Board of Adjustment to vary the front yard requirement has been made by ACT. Since the City's sewer is not available for this area, a septic system would be required for development to occur. Care should be taken so that the septic system is not underdesigned and can be expanded if necessary. It is the Engineering Division's recommendation that before approval of the preliminary and final LSNRD plan that the applicant file the septic sewer permit issued by Johnson County Health Department with the City. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 1101RES i 1 3 I RECOMMENDATION Due to the many variables involved, i.e. depending upon whether or not the Board of Adjustment grants one, none, or all of the variances requested and depending upon rezoning of the request area, the staff is unable to make a recommendation at this time. DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES The staff will compile and submit a complete list of deficiencies and dis- crepancies depending upon any variances granted. i ATTACHMENT Location map i ACCOMPANIMENT j Preliminary and final LSNRD plan I / .

Description of thu Public Trann sortation Sye;tmn Within_tolumon Cuunty The Iowa City-Coralville urban area is served by three public fixed - route mass transportation carriers. Two of the carriers are owned and oper- ated by the cities of Iowa City and Coralville. The third - Cambus - is owned and operated by the University of Iowa. Augmenting this service, Johnson County, through a program called SEATS, provides for the specialized transpor- tation service needs of the elderly and handicapped for the entire county. Together, these carriers comprise a separate but coordinated system that provides areawide transit coverage. The three fixed -route carriers were established during the same time period to serve the area's transportation needs. In 1971, the City of Iowa City, in response to the planned termination of private transit service by the Iowa City Coach Company, applied for and received a federal grant from UMTA to purchase twelve new buses and a transit maintenance facility. This insured the continuation of necessary transit service to the urban area's central city. The City of Coralville initiated transit service in 1969 to meet the transit needs in this suburban city and provide access to the central city. The third system - Cambus - was established in 1972, as part of the University of Iowa's plan to reduce dependence on the automobile by members of the University community (faculty, staff, and students) and to establish a pedestrian campus. System coordination of the three fixed -route carriers in the urban area is exemplified by route interface and a common point of convergence for all routes. Iowa City Transit operates 12 radial routes and 4 special peak -hour routes which all converge in the Iowa City CBD - University of Iowa Campus area. Coralville Transit operates three routes that loop around the city and one express route that serves the commercial area along Highways 6/218 in Coralville. Upon completing of the city routes, the buses journey into the Iowa City CBD area to permit passenger transfer to the other systems. (See Attachments B-1 and B-2.) Cambus also operates looping routes. These routes circle the CBD - Campus area and connect in the CBD with the other systems. -13- r MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES r1OINCS EXHIBIT B (cont'd) Page 2. SE To meet the unique needs of the University Community, Cambus also operates five special routes and a demand -responsive small bus, which is lift -equipped q PPed (see Attachments B-3 and B -3a). In December, 1975, the Johnson County SEATS program was initiated to pro- vide specialized transportation service in the rural portion of the 5; county. The program has been expanded to now provide demand -responsive j service for residents of both the urban and rural portions of the county. tZ The Transportation Committee of the Johnson County Regional Planning ., J Commission (JCRPC) provides for the coordination of transit planning and ?; ti operaon activities as part of its overall responsibility for long range, multi-modal transportation planning in Johnson County. The Committee is a com- prised of voting members representing Johnson County, Iowa City, Coralville, University Heights, University of Iowa, JCRPC Citizens' Advisory Committee, JCRPC Small Cities Committee, JCRPC, and Iowa Department of Transportation. Non-voting resource persons are appointed to the committee to provide technical support (see Attachment F-3). Technical support and advise in transit related issues addressed by the committee are provided by an informal subcommittee com- prised of transit operators and JCRPC staff. a. Roster of Equipment The public line -haul systems, Iowa City Transit, Coralville Transit and Cambus, own and operate all of their respective equipment. A total of 40 buses are in operation. Johnson County owns and operates a fleet of 5 passenger vans under their SEATS program (see Attachment B-4). b. Level of Service As of November, 1.978, public fixed route transit service was pro- vided on a total of 25 routes. There are a total of 32 buses oper- ating during peak hours. The routes are designed in accordance with the adopted goal of the area's Transit Development Program that transit service be provided within three blocks of any residence in the urban area. Currently, over 90 percent of all residences are covered. All routes for the three systems cover 147 round trip route miles. The mileage by system is as follows: SYSTEM MILES Iowa City Transit 82.1 Coralville Transit 29,3 U. of I. Cambus 37.5 TOTAi, 147.0 -14- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1401REs EXHIBIT B (Cont -d) Page J. The time of operation for the three .systems is generally sumarized as follows: Iowa City Transit provides service between 6:30 a.m. and 10:00 P.m. Monday through Saturday, with 15 to 30 minute peak and 30 to 60 minute off-peak headways during the day and 60 minute headways after 6:00 p.m. - Coralville Transit operates between 6:00 a.m, and 12:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday. Monday through Friday headways are 15 to 60 minutes during peak and 30 to 120 minutes during off-peak. For Saturday and night service, headways are 60 minutes. - Cambus provides service between 6:00 a.m. and 12:30 a.m. Monday through Friday with 7 to 30 minute headways during the day and 15 to 95 minute headways after 6:30 p.m. - Johnson County SEATS provides demand -responsive service during the following hours of operation: Monday, Thursday and Friday - 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday - 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday - 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. C.

Ridership Between 1972 and 1977, ridership on the line -haul system has increased by 1.25 million riders or 46 percent (see Attachment B-5). Except for 1976, ridership has steadily increased on all three systems. It .is projected that this, trend will continue through 1978. Public specialized transportation service for the elderly and handi- capped is relatively new to Johnson County. The public response has been excellent, as indicated below. During 1976, there were 7,678 riders compared to 16,939 in 1977. This is a 120 percent increase.

Per these I agreements,the Johnson County SEATS program provides specialized demand - responsive transportation for the elderly and handicapped in the urban area in return for financial and equipment compensations. Copies of the current agreements are provided in Attachments B-6 and B-7. 3. Other Mass Transportation Carriers in the Iowa City-Coralville Urban Area Inter -city service is provided by four carriers: Greyhound Lines, Jeffer- son Lines, Missouri Transit and Continental Trailways. The inter -city bus terminal is located in the central business district, near the terminus of the radial urban transit routes, thus affording reasonably convenient transfers between the two types of systems. The inter -city carriers do riot provide any service for trips within the metropolitan area. -16- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES fIOIRES J 1 13 Aw Ill�iul sommo PH 1 1 ■■■■■ "HMO ■i■■■NONE mmftff aim ■■■ss■�-- MEMO INEW 0 10C / MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES t101RC5 ATTACHMENT B-1 \• IOWA CITY TRANSIT 6 CORALVILLE TRANSIT BUS ROUTES 3 ' 1 HAWKEYE APARTMENTS 11 NORTH DUBUQUE 2 WEST BENTON -- 12 MANVILLE HEICHTS 3 WARDWAY 13 FIRST AVENUE l(Vl l 4 MALL 14 TENTH STREET- '' • �•. -" S GOODWILL LANTERN PARK > 6 LAKESIDE 1S WESTERN HILLS- ILLS-7 7TOWNCREST HOLIDAY GARDEN Ii..

EXHIBIT C PROJECT JUSTIFICATION -37- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 1I0IRES EXHIBIT C: Project Justification This project will provide many benefits for the Iowa City-Coralville urban arca and Johnson County. It is felt that the statutory requirements are fulfilled in that the information heroin clearly demonstrates that the equipment proposed is "necessary for the. sound, economic, and desirable development" of the area. A. General Comments The equipment requested in this application will help the transit operations significantly in providing an improved public transportation system for the urban area and for Johnson County. The general service objectives for improving the systems, as outlined in the Transit Development Program, are j as follows: - To maximize the impact of transit during peak hours. - To serve the transportation needs of the captive rider. - To promote a more even ridership between modes. - To coordinate existing transit service. Successful implementation and completion of the short-range transit program objectives will have a direct bearing or influence on the attainment of longer -range transit goals which are to provide: - Access to all parts of the urban area. - Accessibility for all segments of the population. - A balance in transportation modes. Earlier forecasts of ridership in the urban area indicated a 3.6 percent average annual growth rate for the period 1978-82. These were primarily based on the previous 5 -year growth trend and modified in accordance with planned implementation of projects identified in the Transit Develop- ment Program (see Attachments C-1 and C-2). Now, these forecasts appear too conservative and inaccurately reflect the local enthusiasm to use the area transit systems. During 1978, ridership in the urban area increased more than 3 times the forecasted rates i (see Attachment C-3). Total ridership for the three systems increased by 13.0 percent as a result of over 500,000 more people riding the bus. Coralville Transit led all systems in percent growth with 23.6. The greatest actual ridership increases occurred on CANBUS and Iowa City Transit with 240,551 and 21.3,448, respectively.

Specific Comments The following is a detailed justification supporting each major element of the proposed project. 1. Purchase of Seven (7) 45 -passenger Buses (a) Five of the seven buses purchased under this grant will be used to replace old or obsolete equipment. These buses are now primarily used as spares rather than for regular service. The replacement buses are destined for use by the three line -haul systems and will eliminate equipment that is as much as 30 years old. The specific equipment to be replaced is as follows: Iowa City Transit - One 1952 GMC TDH 5103 Coralville Transit - Two 1949 GMC TDH 3612 . University of Iowa CAMBUS - Two 1963 GMC TDH 5304 Benefits to the Individual User: j The passengers will directly benefit by receiving consistent, good quality service at all times. Since the buses to be replaced i are now used as spares, passengers experience a significant decrease in the level of service when they are used. The most noticeable improvements will be in rider comfort and convenience and in aesthetic appearance. More importantly, the reserve buses will provide more reliable and safer service for the ride. For users of the Coralville system, the new buses will provide greater passenger capacity since the vehicles to be replaced I are 35 -passenger coaches. Benefits to the Transit Operating Agencies: The replacement of old or obsolete buses will have several positive impacts on the systems' operations. The new buses will permit balanced usage of the fleet. Under existing conditions the spare buses are not used on a regular basis, rather they are used only when absolutely necessary. With the new buses, the spares can be rotated on a regular basis, thereby increasing j the life of the total fleet and insuring a constant level of service for the passengers. / MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IdOINEs X'XI1131T C page 3 The new buses will insure that good quality, reliable spare buses are available at all times. Currently, the buses to be replaced are mechanically unreliable and project a poor public image. Each transit system has worked hard to establish a positive public image by providing modern, efficient service. When the old or obsolete buses are used, an undesirable public image is g projected and ridership is discouraged. Finally, the new buses will reduce repair and parts costs. To maintain the old or obsolete buses in the best possible mechanical condition, above normal maintenance costs are incurred. In the case of the obsolete buses, rebuilt or "cannibalized" parts from equally old equipment must be used. -! Benefits to the Urban Area: As noted in the previous section, various community objectives will be served by the higher level of transit service provided iby this new equipment, including the secondary effects of high transit ridership and reduced use of the auto mode. In partic- ular, air pollution will be reduced because the new buses will have "Environmental Improvement Packages" to curtail diesel exhaust emissions. (b) The two remaining buses will be used by Iowa City Transit to improve service. Specifically, they will permit a decrease in headways from 30 to 15 minutes on the Towncrest and East College routes and provide an adequate number of quality spare buses. Benefits to the Individual User: i Passengers on the Towncrest and East College routes will receive j immediate benefit through an improved level of service. At present, they are experiencing overcrowded conditions during ! peak hours, and on occasion some passengers must be left behind I at bus stops due to a lack of space. These conditions have re- sulted in an unacceptable level of service, which discourages additional ridership during peak hours and creates a disincentive for persons recently converted to the mass transit mode. -a0- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110111ES 1 r EXHIBIT C page 4 Iowa City Transit has taken positive actions to augment peak -hour service to this area of the city by establishing the East Side Shuttle. While ridership on the shuttle has been very good, "standing room only" crowds still prevail on the regular routes. These buses will also provide Iowa City Transit with an adequate number of good quality spares. This will insure that passengers will not experience any unnecessary discomfort or decline in the level of service due to mechanical failure or routine main- tenance of another bus. Benefits to the Transit Operating Agency: Iowa City Transit will realize several direct benefits from the additional buses. First, the severe overcrowding on the Town - crest and East College routes during peak -hours will be alleviated. This will allow buses to adhere more closely to their schedules, which reduces waiting and enhances bus transfer by passengers. The buses will also incur less "wear and tear" as a result of excessive passenger loads. Operational safety will be increased, as overcrowding can interfere with the dirver's physical operation of the bus. Secondly, the need for an adequate number of good quality spare buses will be met. Present transit operations require the use of 15 buses during peak hours, with 3 spares. Two of the spares are in good condition, but the third is a 1952 vintage GMC, which is only pressed into service as a last resort. In order to main- tain a consistent level of service, a transit system of this size operating in severe winter weather conditions must retain a slightly higher than average number of spare buses. Finally, the entire system will accrue spin-off benefits from increased service on the Towncrest and East College routes. As access to the geographic area served by these routes is improved through increased mobility, the area will be more -4i.- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOIRES EXHIBIT C Page 5 attractive, and ridership wil.I increase. This increase will have a rippling affect that results in increased ridership on connecting transit routes, Benefits to the Urban Area: i Because of the improved level Of service to the areas directly served by the two additional buses, various are also served. community objectives It is a documented goal of the agencies within the metropolitan area to develop a truly multi -modal, balanced transportation system. Specifically, an improved transit system and increased ridership will continue to foster sound j development patterns, such as a concentration of em ishopping and educational functions in aroyment, the central urban area. Secondly,ntral part of the the project will result in reduced auto travel and its secondary benefits of reduced energy consumption, less air pollution, and a reduced demand for more street and auto parking facilities. 2. 12 to17-2 -' '�" er vans and Purchase of Two (2) assen er Buses The four vehicles purchased through this grant will be used to continue and I improve demand -responsive service for the elderly and handicapped in the Iowa City-Coralville urban area and in Johnson County. (a) The two vans are replacement vehicles for the Johnson County SEATS program. The vehicles to be replaced are as follows: - One 1973 Dodge van with 80,000 miles - One 1974 Dodge van with 110,000 miles Benefits to the Individual User: The present condition of old equipment results in a significantly lower -than -optimum service level by the operator. In terms of reliability and safety the present equipment restricts the level Of service which can be provided. -42- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES EXHIBIT C Page 6 Benefits to the Transit- Operating Agoncy: The new Q-11uipment will hove a system -wide beneficial impact duo to the fact that the more reliable and, therefore, less expen- sive, service can be expected from the new vans. The present I high cost of maintenance and repair will be significantly reduced. Since these vehicles have (or will soon) exceeded their expected service life, major repairs are required to maintain the vehicles at a relatively safe, efficient service level. Additionally, a lower ratio of stand-by equipment will be needed, thus reducing the capital and operational costs related to such stand-by equipment. - Benefits to the Urban Area: i Because of the improved level of service to the elderly and - handicapped in the urban area and Johnson County, the pre- viously identified goals and objectives are served. Specifi- cally, efforts "to serve the transportation needs of the captive rider." i(b) The purchase of the two 12 to 17 -passenger lift -equipped buses is an expansion of service. One bus will be used by Johnson County SEATS Program to provide for the specific needs of the handicapped throughout the county. The other will be used by University of Iowa CAMBUS with emphasis on serving the handicapped (students, staff and faculty) associated with the University. The existing bus currently operated by CAMBUS will be used as a spare. Hence, the CAMBUS bus is not a true expansion of service. Benefits to the Individual User: The purchase of these buses will insure that the specialized transportation needs of the handicapped are adequately served. Without the addition of the CAMBUS vehicle, the level of service to the University community will decline in quality as the existing bus ages. The SEATS vehicle will be used for service expansion, especially in the urban area. Since SEATS is now -43- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES EXHIBIT C page 7 contracting with Iowa City and Coralville to provide demand - responsive service, which has increased greatly in the last two years. Benefits to the Transit Operating Agencies: In the case of both Johnson County SEATS and University of Iowa CAMBUS, the purchase of the vehicles will provide for increased reliability of service and an adequate number of spare vehicles in the case of a mechanical failure. Benefits to the Urban Area: Because of the improved level of service to the elderly and handicapped in the urban area and Johnson County, the pre- viously identified goals and objectives are served. Speci- fically, efforts "to serve the transportation needs of the captive rider". r _ MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES ATTACHMENT C-1 AVERAGE ANNUAL GROWTH RATES IOIVA CITY METROPOLITAN AREA TRANSIT SYSTEMS rrnwh rTTY TRANSIT.

These vehicles were purchased several i years ago for about $250 each and the remaining value is considered to be much less at this time. These vehicles will be scrapped. 2. Financing from Transportation System Revenues $00 00 No portion of the Gross Project Cost can be financed from revenues of the transit syntemn. All four components of the arpawirlo transit ::crvipo:: have operated at substantial deficits during reconL guar:;. As noted in Attachment D-1, there has consistently been a substantial subsidy of oper- ating costs for the Iowa City, Coralville and Johnson County systems. Further, the University of Iowa Cambus operates at no fare, thus a 100% subsidy. Clear- ly under these circumstances, the transit systems cannot be expected to pro- duce any net revenues which could be applied to reduce principal and interest costs of a capital improvement project. Sections II and V of the Areawide Transit Development Program and the Fiscal 1977 Update of the original TDP provide greater detail on past transit expenditures, the sources of the local subsidy, and the projected local sources of funds for the next five years. As indicated in these references, local transit costs, though substantial, do not represent a sizable protion of the total. operating burlgotn of the three agencies oppratinq t.hnne transit. nyatom:r, Therefore, the funding of the necessary subsidy in a policy deci.^ion br:rl 4n priorities of the agencies, each of which have firmly indicated an intenli.on to maintain transit services in the metropolitan area.

The Commission has completed a "Land Use Plan: For the Metropolitan Portion of Johnson County." This plan addresses land use, water resources, and parks and open space in municipalities comprising the urban area. This was adopted in 1974. A companion report for rural Johnson County has been developed and was adopted by the Commission in 1978. The Johnson County Board of supervisors also adopted the plan in January, 1979. Within the urban area, the City of Iowa City adopted a comprehensive plan in May,1978. This plan is capatable with the efforts of. the Johnson _i County Regional Planning Commission. I 2.

Planning Process The Transportation Committee of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission is the organization through which transportation planning is conducted in Johnson County. The committee operates with the consent of the commission. Transportation planning in Johnson County is a compre- hensive process which is concerned with all modes of travel. The process is based on an evaluation of development goals and the analysis of per- tinent travel demands and on quantitative distributions of land use travel demands and the trip -making characteristics of the county. 2. Status of Planning The Johnson County Regional Planning Commission is currently in the process of developing a 1995 transportation plan. A consultants recom- mended plan has been prepared and is currently being reviewed and revised. In December 1974, a "Transit Development Program: For the Iowa City- Coralville Urban Area" was prepared. It established the initial 5 year program for the urban area. The TDP was updated in 1.976. The second major update of. the TDP is currently in progress and is expected to be complete by April, 1979. 3. Urban Area Coverage The Area Transportation Study, when approved, will cover the area ex- pected to be urbanized by 1995. As for specific transit planning, the TDP update that is now in progress will address the short-range (5 year) transportation needs of the line -haul systems, as well as the demand - responsive system operating thorughout Johnson County. 4.

Transit Development Program An initial Transit Development Program for the Iowa City-Coralville Urban Area was adopted in December, 1974 covering the period F.Y. 1976-80. An update of this TDP, completed in April, 1976, reevaluated the 5 -year improvement program for the three fixed -route carriers and extended the to 1981. The short-range improvement program 9 p program for Johnson County SEATS was adopted as part of the "Regional Transit Development Program - 1978" for Iowa's Region X. Copies of these documents are being submitted with the orig- inal of this application. Maintaining existing levels of service by area transit providers has continued to be a high priority of the area transportation goals and objectives. Failure to maintain existing service could endanger the i substantial ridership gains of recent years. Service improvements have been . � implemented as sufficient resources became available. In the TDP Update cur- irently being prepared, as well as the two prior TDP documents, maintenance of the existing level of service was taken as the minimum from which to build fur - then capital and operating improvements. (Refer to Section III, pages 4-5 of the initial TDP and pages 59-60 of the 1977 TDP Update.) Since the 1977 TDP Update was completed, improvements have been made in levels of service and in administrative and operating policies. The follow- ing identifies the most significant changes by system: Iowa City Transit -Establishment of a new route serving the Wardway Shopping Center and Goodwill Industries. -Peak-hour express service to the west side of Iowa City provided by the Hawkeye Express and Westside Special and to the east side via the East Side Shuttle and Lakeside Express. -Expansion of service until 10:00 p.m. -Innl.il,id iun of a monl:hly pass for riders. -A No -fare program for elderly and handicapped during off-peak hours. -The Bus & Shop program which provides one free ride with a $5.00 or more purchase from any participating merchant. Coralville Transit -Establishment of express service to the Lantern Park and Holiday Garden Apartments and the Western Hills Mobile Home Park. -70- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIn S•DES 140111ES Y:XIIIBIT G (cont'd) Page 2.

University of Iowa Cambus -Establishment of a direct shuttle service between the Pentacrest (CBD area) and the University Hospital. -Establishment of a shuttle bus service to the Oakdale Campus and the Eastside Loop route. i -Extend service to the Oakdale Campus to 10:00 p.m. i ! .Johnson County SEATS -Execution of contracts by Iowa City, Coralville and University Heights city councils for SEATS to provide specialized transportation for the elderly and handicapped i pped in the Iowa City-Coralville urban area. -Provide specialized transportation to Goodwill Industries. I B. Plan for Updating the Transit Development Proqram A procedure for updating the TDP has been specified, and consists of the following steps: I. Documentation of changes in local transit service since the previous I update: this includes both changes in operation (e.g., ridership, cover- age, scheduling, etc.) and equipment (e.g., fleet and maintenance additions). 2. A review of each transit systems' financial status: the budgeted ex- penditures, revenues, and subsidies will be analyzed. This will include an assessment of each systems operating performance. 3. A review of the local transit objectives and priorities: this r�.-quire:; reevaluation of previous priorities and any additions or deletions doomed relevant. The results are a listing of improvements and their subnequent ranking. 4. Development of alternative program levels of improvement implementation: various improvement schedules based on the ordered priorities should be developed, each assuming a different level of funding. -71- MICRDFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MDINES EXHIBIT G (cont'd) Page 3. 5. Review of various sources of transit funding: this will include funding means at all levels of government; both existing and potential sources which are not yet utilized. 6. Recommending the direction for transit improvements to take over the next five years: the option exists for the recommendation to be either a specific alternative or a more general priority order to be im- plemented as future constraints (e.g., budget) allow. 7. Presentation and adoption of the recommendations by the local imple- menting agencies. A flow chart showing the TDP review and updating process is provided in Attachment G-1. In addition, a Memorandum of Understanding concerning trans- protatton planning for the Iowa City-Coralville urban area has been adopted by the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission and the City of.

I Unavoidable adverse effects of the project include: - Some levels of air pollution will result from the operation of diesel and gasoline powered transit vehicles. - Operation of diesel powered vehicles will produce somewhat unpleasant smelling exhaust fumes along each transit route. This condition will occur even with emission control equipment installed on each vehicle. j - Vehicle operation along each route will also are somewhat higher than desirable. are noise levels that - vehicle operation will also mean consumption of diesel fuel, gasoline, i and other petroleum based products which may be in short supply. 3• and alternatives to an ortion of the ro.ect havin an impact which would minimize or eliminate adverse environmental im acts. i At present, there are no reasonable or practical alternatives to diesel or gasoline powered vehicles. 4• Comparative analysis of the -- .,.,•.�� --— uences. - j Without continual replacement and improvement of equipment through projects such as thi.s, the continued use of existing equipment will result in the even- . teal disroritinuation of bus service altogether.

The Initial Renort: Transuorta tion for the Elderly and Handicapped Johnson County, Iowa was published in November, j 1975. It provided an analysis of the potential scope of the problems and opportunities relative to the transportation disadvantaged. Particular emphasis is placed on elderly in urban and rural areas of the county. The I follow-up report published in January, 1977 was Transportation for the Elderly and Handicapped in Johnson CountyIowa: An Assessment of Needs and Preferences. This report assessed the transportation patterns and prefer- ences of the county's elderly and handicapped, as well as identifying their needs and problems in attaining adequate mobility. Both reports were prepared through an Urban Mass Transportation Adminis- tration grant. They were sent to UMTA for review and have been approved. Copies are on file with UMTA. The most current population data available is from a September, 1974 special census of the entire Johnson County area. The elderly population I (persons 60 years of age and older) data is taken directly from the census. The handicapped population is estimated from the census data using the methodology developed in the 1975 elderly and handicapped report. i According to the special census, there were 7,220 elderly persons in the county. This constituted 9.69 of the total population. Of those elderly i persons, 65.69 resided in the urban area.* Attachment M-1 shows the geo- graphic distribution of elderly in Johnson County. ! The general distribution of elderly within the urban area is displayed in Attachment N-4 of Exhibit N. It suggests that the elderly population encompasses the Iowa City CBD area, with the largest concentrations occuring south and east of the CBD. A more detailed analysis of the 1970 census block data for Iowa City showed a smimlar distribution. Further, it demon- strated that the elderly have excellent access to the line -haul systems. "The urban area for this purpose includes the cities of Iowa City, Coralville, and University Heights. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES EXHIBIT M (cont'd) Page 2. ! Approximately 95% of the. elderly Population was within 2 blocks of . route, and the four major senior citizen houninq concentrations are directly adjacent to the transit routes.* The handicapped in the county were estimated to be 138 of the total Population or about 9,750 persons (see Attachment M-1). Like the elderly, the majority of the handicapped population is located in the urban area. Within the urban area, the handicapped are well integrated into the total Population, as a result of efforts by local groups. Special consideration is given to elderly and handicapped persons able to use urban area fixed -route transit. Elderly and handicapped may ride free of charge on Iowa City Transit and Coralville Transit between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 P.m. and after 6:30 P.m. during weekdays and all day Saturday. As for the University of Iowa Cambus, all passengers ride free of charge. He - sponse to the off-peak No -fare program has been excellent. Participation on Iowa City Transit increased by 148 between June, 1976 and June, 1977. During the same period, Coralville Transit registered a 838 increase in participation. A second consideration is preferential seating for elderly and handicapped on the transit coaches. The designated seats are located nearest to the front door for easy and convenient use. Finally, transit routes are designed to use the streets directly adjacent to the four major senior citizen housing concentrations in the urban areas. Specialized public transportation is provided by the Johnson County Board of Supervisors through the SEATS program for area residents that are unable to use the conventional line -haul systems. Johnson County SEATS operates on a demand -responsive basis and provides door-to-door service. Originally, the program was designed to serve the transportation disadvantaged in the rural areas of the county. However, the service was expanded as of September 1, 1977 to include the elderly and handicapped in the urban area. This was accomplished via a contract between the Iowa City, Coralville, and University Heights city councils and the Johnson County Board of Supervisors. *Transit Development Program: For the Iowa City Coralville Urban Area.

Based on the recommendations of a citizens' committer. compasrd of members of the Johnson County Council on Aging and the Johnson County Citizens' Committee for the Handicapped, trips are assigned on a priority basis by trip purpose: (1) medical (2) social services (3) grocery shopping (4) em- ployment and volunteer service (5) organized social and senior citizen activities and (6) other shopping. Pares for SEATS trips are a nominal 50C one-way. Patrons are encouraged to give the system dispatcher one day advance notice for intended trips. Johnson County SEATS is expected to carry over 15,000 trips in the urban area during F.Y. 1979. Purchase of equipment through this grant will permit Johnson County to continue existing service, as well as meet increasing service demand. The two vans will be used by the County to replace two vans now in service and one of the lift -equipped small buses will be used to expand service. The Unviersity of Iowa also operates a lift -equipped vehicle dubbed the "Bionic Bus". The Bionic Bus primarily serves the transportation needs of the handicapped university students, staff and faculty by providing ade- quate access to university facilities and operations. The bus made nearly 5,000 trips during calendar 1977 and is free of charge to the passengers. The other lift -equipped small bus purchased through this grant will replace the Bionic Bus and provide for the day-to-day service needs. The Bionic Bus will be used as a spare. The operation of the Bionic Bus complements the Johnson County SEATS program through the interface of service responsibilities. It is much more efficient administratively and financially for the University of Iowa to provide this service directly due to (1) the high priority established for University related trips (2) the more limited scope of operation around the Univeristy (3) the need to conform to University schedules and (4) the financial advantages of the University's work-study program for students. -110- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES i ATTACHMENT M-1 ELDERLY AND HANDICAPPED POPULATION IN JOHNSON COUNTY: 1974 DATA SOURCE: Initial Report: Transportation of the Elderly and Handicapped, Johnson County, Iowa.

The impact of the proposed project on minority areas. B. As previously discussed, there are no apparent minority concentrations in the project area. Of those who would be considered members of minority groups, 85% live within three blocks of existing transit routes. No area residence will be displaced by this project (see Exhibit K). of the manner It is the general philosophy that all transit services, including new equipment, should be available to all persons in the service area, to the maximum extent feasible, especially to the mobility handicapped. As such, all equipment purchased through this grant will be available for use on all routes of each respective system. C. The Opportunties for Minority Contractors and Consultants. i I Minority contractors and/or consultants will have an equal opportunity for involvement in this project, as all equipment obtained via this grant will be purchased through competitive bidding. D. Minority Involvement in the Decision Making Process. Minorities have and will continue to have the opportunity for involve- ment in this project to insure that this project is responsive to their . needs. Specifically, this involvement does include the following: • An opportunity for affected residents to voice their opinions and concerns of the project at a public hearing on December 19, 1978. • All meetings of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission and the JCRPC Transportation Committee where this project was discussed and approved are open to the public. Prior notice of these meetinqs is given to the news media for public notification. E. The Quality of Transit Service.. The levels of service for all systems are designed to provide easy, convenient, inexpensive public transportation to as many people as possible. The age and quality of vehicles providing service are rotated regularly on every route, with emphasis on keeping as few of the old buses on the system -116- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES EXHIBIT N (conl•'d) Paye 5 as possible to avoid breakdowns. Since no apparent concentrations of minorities exist in the service area, the quality of transit service is evenly distributed. -117- r MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES Imr WIN pill .I. ■MIEo�e�l���I__llr�► � �� � •iiiiuiu�.��,�: L ' 11 2 . 1 1_ 4- 1 • 2 2 2 • g 2 ;xiLl — Y YDS, 2 2 4, ..� � a 5 3 \.

SUMMARY OF RESPONDENT'S REASONS: The Respondent contends the female in question was treated no differently than any other employee would have been treated in a similar situation. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The employee in question is a white American female and shall be referred to as the Complainant in the remainder of this summary. The Attorney General shall be referred to as the charging party. The Complainant began her employment as a firefighter in August of 1977. In May of 1978 the Complainant was reassigned to the Parks and Recreation Department for pregnancy reasons. On October 2, 1978, the Complainant began a Leave of Absence for maternity reasons and she returned to work on January 22, 1979. On January 15, 1979, the Complainant asked the Fire Chief if she could breastfeed her child twice a day while on duty, the Fire Chief refused permission. On January 22, 1979, the Complainant returned to work and the breastfeeding did occur. A city employee was sent to the room where the breastfeeding was taking place, the city employee did not observe the breastfeeding but the Complainant confirmed it had taken place. The Complainant was given a reprimand and sent home for the remainder of the shift. On the Complainant's next scheduled shift, January 24, 1979, breastfeeding occurred again. The Complainant was suspended without pay for the remainder of the shift for "scheduling a family visit for the purpose of nursing her son while on duty." On January 26, 1979, a restraining order was issued and the Complainant was asked to leave voluntarily because of the press people at the fire house. The Complainant voluntarily complied with this request. The Respondent is a city in the eastern portion of the state of Iowa, the co -Respondent is the Fire Department serving the city. The Fire Department consists of the Fire Chief, who heads the depart- ment, one Fire Marshall, one Training Officer, three Battalion Chiefs who are the shift leaders, three Captains who are directly under the Battalion Chiefs, six Lieutenants who are in charge of the outlying stations.and there are thirty-six Firefighters of which the Complainant is the only female. The Fire Chief, the Fire Marshall, and the Training Officer all work eight-hour days, every - MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110Ir1Es Case Summary CP#5630 Miller vs. Iowa City SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION: (continued) Page 3 one else works twenty-four hour shifts. These people that have a twenty-four hour shift work for twenty-four hours, are off twenty-four hours, work twenty-four hours, are off twenty-four hours, work for twenty-four hours and then have three days off. While a person is on a twenty-four hour shift they are subject to the beck and call of superior officers and to any emergency call as it arises. In addition to these unscheduled tasks, the firefighters have scheduled training in the morning, afternoon, and sometimes evening. There are also scheduled tests, maintenance of the trucks, and checking of fire equipment. SUMMARY OF INVESTIGATION: One point raised by the Respondent was if the Complainant is granted scheduled visits twice a day for two years, the male firefighters are going to want regularly scheduled family visits also. The firefighters testified that regular visits from family members has never existed in the past but that family members have visited on infrequent occassions usually when it's necessary to bring clean clothes to the fire house, pick up a check or keys. In the Transcript of Hearing on page 242, the Chief states that a firefighter was reprimanded sixteen years ago because the visits were more frequent than what was thought to be necessary. This raises the next question of whether,it is necessary to breastfeed at the station or not. The doctor for the Respondent stated that any breastfeeding mother can use a breast pump to keep up her milk supply and even considering the twenty-four hour shift cycle of the firefighters, he did not see any problem for any woman if she would use a breast pump while on a twenty-four hour shift. The Respondent, the charging party and the Complainant referred this investigator to the LaLeche League as the experts in breastfeeding. The LaLeche League in turn referred this investi- gator to doctors that are members of the LaLeche League. One doctor stated not every woman can use a breast pump effectively and that the amount of milk produced depends upon the number of feedings a day, the amount consumed, the vigor of the child nursing, and the sucking action. The doctor further stated that even if an elec- tric breast pump was used, it would not be as effective as a child sucking. This doctor also stated that the use of a breast pump or hand expression would not completely clear the ducts and thus in- crease the risks of engorgement and an infection. The second doctor expressed concern over the psychological relationship between the mother and the child. The doctor stated that the child knows his mother by her smell after the fourth day of life. The doctor com- pared a child to a paraplegic in a hospital, totally dependent on MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MolaES Case Summary Page 4 CP #5630 Miller vs. Iowa City SUMMARY OF INVESTIGATION: (continued) it's nurse, the child takes comfort from the mother feeding it. The doctor also stated that the mother and child form a couplet, the mother is the primary figure and the father is secondary to the child at this point in the child's life. The Complainant's attorney informed this investigator of a newly discovered human hormone called prolactin. Prolactin is produced by the sucking action of the child. The Complainant's attorney referred to an article in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Volume 29, November 1976, written by Derrick B. Jel i e, M.D., F.R., C.P., F.A., P.H.A. The investigation raised another point as to whether or not allowing a mother to breastfeed her child on the job would create. a disparate impact. Investigation reveals that on page 247 of the transcript, the Fire Chief agrees that it has been established that breastfeeding is a natural part of mothering. On the same page the Chief states that the female firefighter should make a choice between firefighting and supplementing or natural mother- hood. The last point raised by investigation is whether allowing the Complainant to breastfeed would create a hardship ori the safe and efficient operation of the fire house. Investigation revealed there is not any personal time scheduled after meals. However, investigation did reveal that the time after meals is not scheduled for anything else. Testimony from firefighters indicate that activities from study to watching t.v, to throwing around a foot- ball have occurred. It also has been demonstrated that breast- feeding did not impair the Complainant's ability to answer an alarm. Testimony from firefighters indicate that the Complainant made two mistakes at the fire and that she had just trained over those things the previous shift. One firefighter stated that the reason she may have made the mistakes after just having had the training was because of all the press people at the windows at the time that she was training. Testimony from the Complainant has indicated that she will not allow her breastfeeding to interfere with her duties as a firefighter. RECOMMENDED FINDING: Because it can be demonstrated that it is necessary for the Complainant to breastfeed while on duty and male firefighters are allowed visits for necessary business, staff recommends a Probable Cause finding be made. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1401HES Case Summary Page 5 CP#5630 Miller vs. Iowa City RECOMMENDED FINDING: (continued) Staff recommends a Probable Cause finding be made because in addition to differential treatment, disparate impact exists because breastfeeding is an integral part of womanhood, and refusal to allow the Complainant to both be employed and to manifest her womanhood in this way is not justified by business necessity.

Based on the information contained in this correspondence, the Housing Authority has serious doubts about the viability of public housing in this community under the pre- sent guidelines. Your reduction in numbers of units on sites and disapprovals of other sites further increases those doubts. Attached is a resume of the information from initial selection through initial review. To date tentative approval has been given to 6 sites with 12 units. This limited number of units does not provide for a viable project. The Iowa City Housing Authority will meet on Monday, March 12, at 1:30 p.m. at the informal Council session to review the proposals. Members of the Housing Commission and the City Staff will be present to discuss the proposed sites. The attendance of you and your staff will be greatly appreciated. Sincere yours ' L Neal G.

Keating, Fire Chief�� Harvey Miller, Police Chief RE: Closing of Melrose Ct. We have given careful and considerable thought regarding the placement of a barrier on Melrose Court. In analyzing the problem we basically considered only those aspects that best assist us in fulfilling the purpose of our departments. A fixed or permanent type barrier that would restrict all, including emergency vehicles, would only add to the problems and difficulties we already have providing services to this area, regardless of where the barrier was located. However, if this type of barrier is necessary, our preference would be that it be located at the south end of Melrose Court. It is our recommendation that the barrier be of a type or so constructed that it would effectively restrict all but emergency vehicles. This could be accomplished in any one of a number of ways. If this recommendation could be followed then location of the barrier is not all that important to the operation of our departments. However, slight as it may be, our preference would be to locate the barrier at the south end of Melrose Court. This preference is based mainly on the availability of a turnaround at this end of Melrose Court. 17166 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 14011jEs 1! 1 City of Iowa City ME. AORANG LJM Date: March 1, 1979 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Angela Ryan, Assistant City Attorney ti,/ Re: Model Lease You may recall that you directed me to review the leases drafted by different landlord and tenant groups in accordance with the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act which went into effect on January 1, 1979 and to draft a lease which would comply with the Act. Attached is a copy of the lease which I drafted. I included a number of sections from the Iowa Bar Association Lease which I believe is excellent. In addition, I added sections of the Act which the Bar lease had incor- porated by reference in which the tenants group expressed an interest in including. I have sent a copy of this lease to all who have requested it and encouraged them to bring their comments'to your attention. One landlord stated that he felt that use of the "City's lease" would mean that we would provide legal services should any problems result from the use of this lease. I think it is important to emphasize that the City is not requiring the use of a particular lease and that it does not guarantee a successful landlord/tenant relationship if this lease is used. Another landlord objected to the inclusion of the section on abandonment since we did not include the other remedies available to a landlord and stated that this could be misleading to tenants. I think his position has some merit. Once you have had an opportunity to review it and we have received additional comments, we may want to consider some amendments. jm2/23 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MORIES :.A, .- CHAPTER 1.

When an application for financial assistance has been processed and approved, the staff shall enter the total amount of assistance in the program account ledger as encumbered monies. The staff must be certain that adequate funds are budgeted and uncommitted before processing applications for grants. Program budgets will be established annually by the City Council according to local, state and federal funding availability. FUNDING REPAIR PROJECTS SUPPLEMENTED BY PRIVATE FUNDS. When supplemental funds are utilized to complete a project, these funds are collected when the application is approved and deposited into the program account awaiting disbursement. An entry of fund receipt shall be made in the program account ledger. The Iowa City Department of Finance is responsible for depositing the check and reporting the transaction in the department computer printout by case number and finance program. 4. MANAGEMENT OF THE REPAIR GRANT AND SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDS ACCOUNT. All repair program funds, private and public, shall be deposited in a non-interest earning bank account. Accounting records will be maintained to keep private funds separate from other City funds. a. Separate Case Numbers for Each Program Participant. The Construction Specialist will assign case numbers to each program applicant. The accounting computer printout will log all credits and debits according to assigned case numbers. b. Disbursements of Repair Funds. Disbursements from repair funds will be authorized by the Director of Housing and Inspection Services. A check request will be prepared and submitted to the Department of Finance properly identifying the case number and expenditure. The Construction Specialist will maintain a file of all invoices and receipts. The Department of Finance will prepare a check, as directed, payable to the grantee/borrower and the payee for the following purposes, as may be appropriate: (1) Make payments for repair work.

NUMBERING OF APPLICATIONS. The number assigned by the staff to every application and related documents for a repair grant shall consist of the following three parts, with each part separated by a slash (/): a. Calendar Year -Last Two Digits of Calendar Year 79-80 etc. b. Number assigned consecutively from a sequence of numbers shall be used for each year. If an applicant is eligible for other repair' financing assistance applies for two grants, the same number shall be used for each application. C. The category code: (1) 10 shall be used to indicate an emergency repair grant application. (2) 20 shall be used to indicate a home winterization grant application. (3) 30 shall be used to indicate both an emergency repair and a home winterization grant application on the same property. 4. EXAMPLE OF APPLICATION NUMBER. The following examples of application numbers, for illustrative purposes, 78/1/30. t 5. TIME OF ASSIGNMENT OF APPLICATION NUMBERS. An assigned number is a record of identification and accountability that is basic to management controls by the staff. Therefore, the staff shall assign application numbers only when the staff approves and signs the Form CDR -7960. 6. REUSE OF APPLICATION NUMBERS NOT PERMITTED. An application number once assigned by the staff shall not be reused or reassigned. If a previous case to which the staff has assigned an application number is not approved, and is resubmitted at a later date, the staff shall assign the resubmitted case a new application number with the sequence number applicable at that time. 17 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 11011JES CHAPTER 9. DEIER14INING WORK TO BE DONE WITH EMERGENCY REPAIR ANDQME WINTERIZATION GRANTS 1. GENERAL. This section sets forth the responsibilities of the Construction Specialist for determining the repair work necessary to bring a property into conformance with the requirements for a home winterization grant or an emergency construction repair grant and for providing assistance in the repair of the property. In carrying out these responsibilities, the Construction Specialist shall: a. Inspect the property, b. Make a preliminary work write-up and cost estimate of the work to be done. C. Consult with and advise the owner on the work to be done, and the availability of an emergency repair or home winterization grant. d. Prepare a final work write-up and cost estimate as the basis for a grant and for contracting for the repair work. 2. PROPERTY INSPECTION. The Construction Specialist shall inspect the property and prepare an inspection report. The inspection report prepared in this manner will later serve the Construction Specialist as the basis for preparing a work write-up and cost estimate. 3. WORK WRITE-UP AND COST ESTIMATE. A work write-up and cost estimate is a statement prepared by the Construction Specialist based on the property inspection report that itemizes all the repair work to be done on the property, and includes an estimate of the cost of each item. The cost estimate shall be reasonable and shall reflect actual costs prevailing in the locality for comparable work. a. Itemizing Cost. Each item of work and its estimated cost shall be identified in the work write-up as being either necessary to meet the repair standards, or for other purposes that may be financed with grant funds. This is done on the work write-up by entering the cost estimates in a columnar arrangement. b. Adjustin Work Write -1P. If the total estimated cost of the work exceeds the amount of the grant the applicant could receive „ or exceeds the applicant's financial ability to do all work, the Construction Specialist shall eliminate or modify items in the work write-up as necessary to reduce estimated cost. C. Owner's Preference. A preliminary work write-up should not contain details that have no significant effect on cost, KE MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -US 1101n[S 1 such as color, style or pattern. Decisions on these details can be made when preparing the specifications for the construction contract documents, or even after the contract award by providing in the contract documents, as appropriate, the term "to be selected by owner." 4. APPLICANTS ELIGIBLE FOR GRANT. For an applicant who is eligible for a grant, the final work write-up and cost estimate prepared by the Construction Specialist shall consist of a completed set of bidding specifications completed by the Construction Specialist as the staff estimate. By utilizing the same documents for staff cost estimating and contractor bidding, cost comparison is made easier for the homeowner. 5. CONSULTATION WITH PROSPECTIVE APPLICANT. As soon as possible after inspection of the property preferably within 24 hours), the Construction Specialist shall consult with the prospect applicant on the preliminary work write-up and cost estimate. The Construction Specialist shall advise the applicant which items of work may be financed with grant funds. The final work write-up shall be the basis for the specifications in the construction contract documents to be used to solicit bids and proposals from contractors. 6. SPECITIONS IN CONSTRUCTION CONTRMENTS. Each spec- ificatIFionCAin a construction ACT DOCUcontract document shall be written so that it provides a clear understanding of the nature and scope of the work to be done, and a basis for carefully determined bids and proposals from contractors. Each specification shall show the nature and location of the work and the quantity and type of materials required. The specifications shall refer to manu- facturers' brand names or to association standards to identify the quality of materials and equipment required, and may make provision for acceptable substitutes. If the work write-up is sufficiently comprehensive, it may itself be used for the specifications, without any cost estimate figures or distinctions as to work required or not required. Standard Specifications. The specifications in the construction E6 ntract documents themselves shall be kept relatively simple by having the documents refer to the technical and detailed specifications that are contained in another document that is called "general specifications." This technique simplifies and facilitates the preparation of the work write-up, cost estimate, and contract documents. The "general specifications" is a document that compiles technical, detailed specifications for each of the types of repair work that is expected to occur, with some frequency, for propertiesthe types of the project odeled after the FHA Minimum PropertyStandards for area, a ne ndtwo and are mfamily structures. 19 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 1S" are kept on file in the Civic Center 20 r _ MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOVIES CHAPTER 10. CONTRACTING FOR REPAIR WORK 1. INTRODUCTION. This chapter sets forth requirements and procedures with respect to construction contracts for repair financed through a home winterization or emergency repair grant. Repair work shall be undertaken only through a written contract between the contractor and the recipient of the grant. Whenever possible the grantee shall be encouraged to obtain their own bids and enter into the repair contract with little or no City involvement. The Construction Specialist shall assist each applicant as needed, in arranging for and obtaining an acceptable construction contract. a. Form of Contract. The construction contract will consist of a single document signed by the contractor and accepted by the homeowner, only following approval of the repair grant. It shall contain a bid and proposal by the contractor. b. Use of Alternates. The contract document prepared by the Construction Specialist may provide for alternates by which the bidder, as part of his bid and proposal, offers increases and decreases to the lump sum contract price to cover alternatives in the performance of the work. An alternate may be used to cover an item of work, the need for which cannot be determined until some time during the course of the repair work. For example, the construction contract may call for reroofing. The roof rafters are not exposed, and their actual conditions cannot be determined even with careful inspection. However, general conditions on the ceilings, such as evidence of leaks over a period of time, indicate that the rafters may be rotted. The work write-up, cost estimate, and the approved grant may include an amount to replace the rafters and related costs if, upon removal of the old roofing this need is apparent. Under such circumstances, the work to replace the sheating and rafters should be included in the construction contract documents as an alternate. If upon removal of the old roof it is found that work is not needed, no payment for it is required under the construction contract. If that work turns out to be needed, the cost is established by the construction contract documents, and the contractor can be ordered to proceed with that work for the stated sum. (1) Format for Alternates. Generally, alternates should be avoided, but when used, the Construction Specialist shall provide for them specifically in the section provided for bid and proposal by adding material such as the following: 21 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES i+nulES Alternate #1. (description of the alterna Add $ Deduct $ Alternate #2. Same as above for Alternate #1. (2) Unrequested Alternates not Considered. The Construction Specialist shall not consider alternates proposed by a bidder that are not called for in the contract document prepared by the Construction Specialist. The Construction Specialist shall not consider a bid and proposal that is qualified by the contractor with unrequested alternates or other changes. C. Procurement of Bids. An acceptable contractor's bid and proposal must be obtained before the Director approves Form CDR -7960 for the repair grant. 2. GENERAL CONDITIONS. The Construction Specialist shall prepare general conditions" for use in all construction contracts for the repair of the property. Included in the general conditions are: a. The address to which the contractor's bid and proposal must be submitted. b. Date and time which a bid and proposal by the contractor is to be received by the owner. C.

The specifications and drawings shall be based on the work write-up resulting from an inspection of the property and interviews, as indicated, with the applicant. The specifications shall clearly establish the nature of the work to be done and the material and equipment to be installed. Each page of the specifications and drawings shall be numbered and shall contain identification that includes the name, address of owner, and the date of the specification. OBTAINING CONTRACTORS' BIDS AND PROPOSALS.

The Construction Specialist shall assist the grantee as may be requested in the preparation and issuance of a proceed order. The proceed order shall be distributed as follows: a. Original to the contractor. b. One copy to retained by the homeowner. C. One copy to the Construction Specialist for the file. 8. LABOR PERFORNEO BY OWNER IN Repairing PROPERTY. Questions arise from time to time, during the processing of a grant con- cerning the owner's performance of some or all of the labor re- quired to complete the repair of his property. These paragraphs are intended to supply answers to those questions, as well as describe the circumstances under which this type of self-help is desirable and to be encouraged. a. Type of Work and Skill of Owner. A property owner may com- plete some or all of the tasks required to repair his/her property, if he/she has the degree of skill required to perform the work involved. Self-help is usually appropriate for the accomplishment of tasks of an unskilled nature such as general clean-up, demolition of small buildings on a property, removal, cartage, and disposal of the debris, and for work that involves minimal use of costly materials and equipment. Work of a skilled nature, and work involving the extensive installation of costly materials and equipment, are appropriate if the Construction Specialist is assured the property owner has the ability and experience required to do the work properly without supervision, or that he/she has sufficient skill to do the work properly with technical advice and guidance from the Construction Specialist. Technical Aid Eligible as Proiect Cost. The Construction nde Specialist is remid that provision of 'technical assistance is part of his/her job function. Benefits from Self-help. At times, self-help may also enable a property owner to obtain a repair grant by reducing construction costs to an amount within the Council established limits for a grant. Provision for Self-help in Grant. Whenever self-help is necessary, indicated, or desired, and the Construction Specialist considers that with or without its technical assistance and guidance a property owner will be able to perform the work in a reasonably acceptable and expeditious manner, he/she may process an application for a grant on that basis. In such a case, the amount of the grant would provide funds to pay for the materials and equipment to be installed by self-help, as well as any additional funds 27 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOVIES 4 11 needed to pay for other work to be performed by a contractor. The grant shall not include funds to pay the owner or members of his her family for their labor. Further, the Construction Specialist must exercise good judgment and prudences as to avoid a situation in which an owner could place himself in financial difficulty through improper use, installation, or even destruction of the materials and equipment purchased with grant funds. For this reason, the owner should understand that the proceeds of a grant to pay the supplier for materials and equipment involved in a self-help will be disbursed from the grant account by the staff, only after they have been properly installed. Coordination with Contractor. When some of the repair work is to be performed through self-help, and the remainder is to be completed by the contractor, the Construction Specialist should assure that the work is accomplished by each of them so as not to interfere with or jeopardize the other's work. In cases where a separation in the timing of the work is not feasible, the Construction Specialist should urge the owner and contractor to make their own arrangements on the timing, so that each may do his/her work without causing any interference in the work to be done by the other. In all instances, the owner will be better protected if work to be performed through self-help is completed before the contractor starts his/her work. Such completion will help avoid claims by the contractor for extras or damages he/she may claim are caused by the self- help efforts, and will assure that when all work is finished, the property will comply with the City grant requirements. OTHER PROVISIONS The Contractor Shall: Indemnify and hold harmless the owner, the owners employees, the City Manager, and the City's employees from any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, and expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and court costs) resulting from, arising out of, or incurred by reason of any claims, actions, or suits based upon or alleging bodily injury, including death, or property damage rising out of or resulting from the contractor's operations under this contract, whether such operations be by himself/herself or by any subcontractor or by anyone directly or indirectly employed by either of them. The contractor shall obtain insurance for this purpose, which shall insure the interests of the owner and the City as the same may appear, and shall file with the owner and the City certificates of such insurance. b. Correction of Fain Work after Final Payment: The ap- proval of the Request for Payment by the Construction Specialist and the making of the payment by the owner to the r M MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES iao nlEs contractor shall not relieve the contractor of responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship. 0 29 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOIRES CHAPTER 11. INSPECTION OF REPAIR WORK 1. GENERAL. This chapter sets forth the requirements for the inspection of repair work financed in whole or in part with a grant. 2. RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAKING INSPECTIONS. The Construction Specialist shall make inspections of construction work in cases involving a repair grant. To accomplish this, the Construction Specialist shall make: (1) Compliance inspection, as necessary, to assure that the construction work is being completed in accordance with the construction contract. (2) A final inspection to determine that the construction work has been completed in accordance with construction contract. The Building Inspector and any specialists from the Building Inspection Division, as may be required, shall accompany the Construction Specialist on the final inspection and shall provide the Construction Specialist with a written report of their findings. 3. INSPECTIONS FOR PAYMENT. Inspection of construction work shall Fe made in accordance with the following: a. Final Inspection. Upon completion of the repair work and receipt of the contractor's invoice containing his certifi- cation of satisfactory completion of all the work in accordance with the contract and his warranty, the Construction Specialist shall arrange for inspection of the completed work. b. Making Final Payment. When the final inspection determines that the work is satisfactorily completed in accordance with the contract, the homeowner shall obtain from the contractor a release of liens, and a copy of each warranty due the owner for the work. After receipt of a release of liens, including 'releases from all subcontractors and suppliers and a copy of each warranty, the homeowner shall make final payment. The staff shall then prepare Form CDR - 7945, the certificate of final inspection. 4. CERTIFICATION OF FINAL INSPECTION. After the Construction Specialist determines that the rehabilitation work has been satisfactorily completed and the final inspection report obtained, the staff shall prepare a Form CDR -7945 (original and one copy). Distribution. Form COR -7945 shall be distributed as follows: 30 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES FiDIRES (1) Signed original to the property owner. (2) Signed copy retained in the property file. 5. SUPPLEMENTAL INSPECTIONS. In some cases defects and inadequacies in the construction work, not apparent at the time of final inspection, may show up after final payment for the work is made and Form CDR -7945 is issued. Others, such as roof leaks not ascertainable until after a rain, defects in heating systems installed during the nonheating season that were not revealed in the limited tests after installation, and plumbing leaks that did not show up in the final inspection, may not appear for several months. a. One -Year Guarantee on Work !�y Contractor. All work performed by the contractor is covered by a one-year guarantee but property owners are not always aware that, for a period of one year, they may require the contractor to correct significant defects and inadequacies in the work performed under this contract. For this reason, the Construction Specialist shall inform the owner of the guarantee requirements upon completion of the contract. b. Additional Call PZ Construction Specialist to Insure Validity and Correction of 'Complaints. Although a limited examination indicates that the incidence of serious defects and inadequacies in the construction work is not frequent, and contractors generally correct them promptly when requested, the Construction Specialist, after the final ? inspection, shall make an additional call on the property owner to ascertain if there are any complaints about the work that has been done. This call shall be made within 60 days after the issuance of Form CDR -7945. The Construction Specialist shall inspect the work to ascertain if the complaint is valid. If the complaint is valid, the Construction Specialist shall assist the property owner in obtaining prompt corrective action from the contractor. The contractor must be given written notice with reasonable promptness. Should the contractor fail to answer or correct the defect(s) within a reasonable time, the grant, at owner request, will assist owner in the following manner: (1) Staff members of the Department of Housing and Inspection Services will investigate the complaint. (2) If the staff finds the complaint to be invalid, owner will be so notified. (3) If the staff finds the complaint to be valid, the homeowner will direct the contractor to take necessary corrective action within a specified length of time. 31 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CHAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES (4) If the contractor complies, the staff will reinspect the work and, if it is satisfactory, the owner will be expected to sign a written statement withdrawing the complaint.

CONSTRUCTION SPECIALIST - OWNER - CONTRACTOR RELATIONS Construction Specialist's Responsibility and Authority: The Construction Specialist shall observe the work on behalf of the City, and will provide general assistance during construction insofar as proper interpretation of the grant requirements is affected. The Construction Specialist and owner shall decide, when necessary, any and and all questions which may arise as to the quality and acceptability of materials furnished, work performed, interpretation of Plans and Specifications and all questions as to the acceptable fulfillment of the Contract on the part of the Contractor. The Construction Specialist will not be on the construction site at all times and as such cannot be responsible for the acts or omissions of the contractor or his employees. For the same reason acceptance by the homeowner or the City of the contractor's work performed, does not release the contractor from the responsibility to provide quality performance on all contract specifications. 32 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIDINEs CHAPTER 12. APPLICANT'S INCOME 1. GENERAL. This chapter sets forth the basis for establishing an applicant's income for the purposes of a home winterization or emergency repair grant on a residential property, and takes into account the variations applicable to different type of applicants and properties, and special considerations related to the type of project area in which the property is located. 2. TYPE OF APPLICANT. In order to make determinations with respect To eligibility for a grant, an applicant is identified as either an owner -occupant of a one- or two -dwelling -unit property or an investor -owner. For purposes of determining an applicant's income, an applicant must be identified additionally, either as a person or other legal entity, as defined below. 3. a. Person. The term "person" means one or more natural persons who either hold legal title to, or occupy under a land sales contract, a property to be rehabilitated. b. Other Legal Entity. The term "other legal entity" means any legal entity other than a "person", such as a partnership or corporation that holds legal title to a property to be repaired. Any "other legal entity" within the meaning of this definition is also an investor -owner. AND ICANT' ine Toliowing is a listing of the elements comprising income for purposes of a repair grant. Exclusions from income applicable in special circumstances are stated in paragraph 5 below. a. Portion of Income Derived from Roomers. If the property will contain rooming units, that portion of an applicant's income that is derived from roomers shall be reported on Form CDR -7960_, block C, line 3, as a net figure determined as follows. (1) Net Income. The net income from the roomers in the owner -occupied property to be repaired is the gross rental income, less expenditures allocable to the roomers. These allocable expenditures including payments, on the basis of an average of one or more years of mortgage or land contract principal and interest, mortgage insurance premium, service charges, hazard insurance, real estate taxes and special assessments, maintenance and repairs, heating and utilities, and other cash expenditures for the property for one or more years, the staff shall estimate the income and expenditures on the available experience. (2) Allocation of Expenditures to Roomers. The alloca- tion of expenditures of the roomer may be established 33 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS.DEs Mon+ES by determining the percentage of floor space that is used exclusively by the roomer(s). The allocable expenditures shall be reduced by the percentage of floor space as calculated above. b. Applicant Who Is a Person. Income of an applicant who is a A,_ includes the income of the applicant and his family. The applicant's family includes the applicant and any other person or person or persons related by blood, marriage, or operation of law, who share the same dwelling unit. If ownership of the property rests in more than one j person, the applicant is each owner and family. The applicant's income, therefore, is the sum of the family incomes of all applicant. An applicant's income is established on an annual basis, at the time of applying for a grant and includes: (1) The applicant's earnings. (2) Spouse's earnings. (3) Other family members living in the home, if their employment is a definite characteristic of family life. Excluded is the income of an adult family member, other than the applicant and spouse, who does not have an ownership interest in the property, but included are any funds contributed or paid to the family, on a { regular basis by an excluded adult family member. (Such as room and board, rent, etc.) Excluded are incomes of those under 18 or full-time students or mentally or physically disabled children. (4) Other income regularly received by applicant or his family. (5) Net income from real estate, other than the property to be rehabilitated, and any other net business income. (a) Gross rental income, and (b) On the basis of an average or experience for two or more years, expenditures for mortgages principal and interest, mortgage insurance premium, service charges, hazard insurance, real estate taxes and special assessments, maintenance and repairs, heating and utilities, ground rent, and other cash expenditures for the property, such as advertising vacancies. If the applicant has not owned the property for two or more years, the staff shall estimate the income and expenditures on the available experience. 34 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES Mo1MEs i n 4.

All existing rules concerning the Tenant's use and occupancy of the prem- ises have been furnished to Tenant in writing. Additionally, Landlord, from time to time, may adopt rules, however described, concerning Tenant's use and occupancy of the premises. A rule is enforceable against the Tenant only if it written and if: a) Its purpose is to promote the convenience, safety or welfare of Ten- ants in the premises; preserve Landlord's property from abusive use; or make a fair distribution of services and facilities held out for Tenants generally. b) It is reasonably related to the purpose for which it is adopted. c) It applies to all Tenants in the premises in a fair manner. d) It is sufficiently explicit in its prohibition, direction or limi- tation of Tenants conduct to fairly inform Tenant of what Tenant must or must not do to comply. e) It is not for the purpose of evading the obligations of Landlord. f) Tenant has notice of it at the time Tenant enters into the rental agreement. A rule adopted after Tenant enters into the rental agreement is enforceable against the Tenant if reasonable notice of its adoption is given to the Tenant and it does not work a substantial modification of the rental agreement. I 11. ACCESS. Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent to Landlord to enter into the dwelling unit in order to inspect the dwelling unit, make I necessary or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, or improvements, supply necessary or agreed services, or exhibit the dwelling unit to pro- spective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workers, or con- tractors. Landlord may enter the dwelling unit without consent of Tenant in case of an emergency. Landlord shall not abuse the right of access or use it to harrass Tenant. Accept in case of emergency, or if it is impractical to do so, Landlord shall give Tenant at least 24 hours notice of Landlord's intention to enter and shall enter only at reasonable times. Landlord does not have another right of access except by court order and as permitted by Sections 28 and 29 of the Iowa Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, or if Tenant has abandoned or surrendered the premises. 12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not assign this rental agreement, nor sublet the dwelling unit, or any portion thereof without the written MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES hI01nEs consent of Landlord. withheld. 4 Consent to assignment shall not be unreasonably 13. FIXTURES AND IMPROVEMENTS. Unless Landlord consents to their removal, Tenant shall leave within the premises all locks, brackets for curtains and other fixtures attached to doors, windows or woodwork, and all alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant at the termination of the tenancy without any payment therefore. Tenant shall make no structural alteration without Landlord's written consent. 14. FIRE OR CASUALTY DAMAGE. If the dwelling unit or premises are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty to the extent that enjoyment of the dwelling unit is substantially impaired, Tenant may (i) immediately vacate the premises and notify the Landlord within fourteen days of Tenant's intention to terminate this rental agreement, in which case this rental agreement shall terminate as of the date of vacating, or (ii) if continued occupancy is lawful, vacate only that part of the dwelling unit rendered unusable by the fire or casualty, in which case, Tenant's liability for rent shall be reduced in proportion to the minution in the fair rental value of the dwelling unit. If this rental agreement is terminated under the provisions of this paragraph, Landlord shall return to Tenant all prepaid rent and security recoverable under the Iowa Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. Accounting for rent in the event of termination or apportionment shall occur as of the date of the casualty. 15. NON-PAYMENT OF RENT.

ABANDONMENT. If Tenant abandons the dwelling unit, Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to rent it at a fair rental. If Landlord rents the dwelling unit for a term beginning prior to the expiration of this rental agreement, it is deemed to be terminated as of the date of the new tenancy begins.

PETS. Tenants shall not keep any animals or pets on the premises except 18. CHECKLIST. Prior to the commencement of occupancy, Tenant shall inspect the dwelling unit, complete the checklist provided by Landlord, and return it to Landlord. If Tenant does not return the checklist within seven days of occupancy, a presumption will arise that there are no substantial de- fects in the dwelling unit. If Landlord does not notify Tenant of objec- tions within ten days of receipt of the completed checklist, Tenant's evaluation shall be deemed accepted by Landlord. 19. LIABILITY. (Strike one) If this rental agreement is executed by more than one Tenant, each Tenant shall be liable for the rental payments and se- curity deposit as follows: (i) Jointly and severably liable for the entire dwelling unit. (ii) For _% of each rental payment while occupying the dwelling unit and % of the security deposit.

For purposes here, the place for the payment of rental, as pro- vided in paragraph 2 above, shall be the place designated by Landlord for MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 5 the receipt of any such notice; and unless otherwise provided herein, Landlord shall receive and receipt for all notices and demands upon the owner of the premises. 21. CONSTRUCTION. Words and phrases herein shall be construed as in the single or plural, and as masculine, feminine or neuter gender, according to context. 22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This writing, including any addendum attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matters hereof; and no statement, representation or promise with reference to this rental agreement, or the premises leased, or any repairs, alterations or improvements, or any change in the term of this rental agreement, shall be binding upon either of the parties unless in writing and signed by both Landlord and Tenant. 23.

Vevera Councilmembers: On February 27, 1979, Joseph W. Grant filed a charge under Section 723.4(3) Code of Iowa accusing Mayor Vevera of disorderly conduct. I have made an initial investigation into the facts of this matter and believe that the charges are without merit and that they arise out of the course of Mayor Vevera's duties. I therefore feel very strongly that the Mayor is entitled to the assistance of my office in the defense of these charges in Magistrate's court. It would be in my opinion an injustice for Bob Vevera to have to pay for the defense of these charges out of his own funds. Accordingly, I intend to defend Bob in Magistrate's court and in any further court proceedings necessary. If the Council has any objection to this procedure I would appreciate being advised at your next meeting. Otherwise we will proceed as indicated above.

An examination of this Bill leads me to believe, that if enacted, it would have serious detrimental affects on the City of Iowa City, and other cities. The Bill, in essence, requires that construction projects (such as City Plaza, our parking ramps, or the library) be bid out with multiple bid packages which at a minimum would contain a mechanical construction contract, an electrical construction contract, a general construction contract, and any other construction contracts not included within the three above. My understanding is that combined bids by a general contractor would be allowed, but if the general contractor did not submit the low bid for the mechanical package or the electrical package, the City would be required to contract with the low bidders in each of these two categories. On many of the projects we are currently involved in, this would be (:i) time con- suming, (b) costly because of the need to produce multiple bid packages; the need to hold multiple public hearings on plans and specifications; the need to publish separate invitations to bidders; and other incidential complications, (c) the need for the City to provide for the overall project coordination in a manner now provided by the general contractor. In the case of City Plaza, this would require a fulltime project manager hired by or contracted for by the City. I believe that John Hayek and Dick Plastino should review this Bill very carefully. It is my judgment that this Bill should be opposed, through both the League of Cities and by direct contact with our legislators.

The intent of House Pile 383 is to enable both cities, and counties, to exempt from taxation the value of new industrial facilities constructed. While I view this Bill as being possibly beneficial to the City of Iowa City, I believe it wholly inappropriate to grant to counties a tool to significantly attract industry away from the cities. My judgment is that Iowa City would be better off without this authority if in order to.get the authority granted in House File 383 me nt in order to compete with the were placed in the position e being forced to abate taxes on industrial develop - County. I believe this is a matter that should be discussed with the City Council and which should then be discussed with our area legislators. It probably should also be discussed directly with the Iowa League of Municipalities.

The 27 ordinance or resolution shall designate the length of time 28 the partial exemption shall be available and may provide for 29 an exemption schedule in lieu of that provided in section 30 two (2) of this Act. However, an alternative exemption 31 schedule adopted shall not provide for a larger tax exemption 32 in a particular year than is provided for that year in the ; 33 schedule contained in section two (2) of this Act. 34 Sec. 2. NEW SECTION. The actual value added to industrial 35 real estate for the reasons specified in section one (1) of I -1- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES M0111Es 1 this Act is eligible to receive a partial exemption from 2 taxation for a period of five years. "Actual value added" 3 as used in this Act means the actual value added as of the 4 first year for which the exemption is received, except that 5 actual value added by improvements to machinery and equip - 6 ment means the actual value as determined by the assessor 7 as of January first of each year for which the exemption is 8 received.

City of Iowa Cis DATE: March 2, 1979 TO: City Council (� FROM: Paul Glaves, Development Coordinator RE: CBD Streetscape Improvement Project, Phase II 1. Members of the City staff and representatives from Ames Engineering and Testing will meet with the Council on Monday, March 5, to discuss the CBD Streetscape Improvement Project, Phase II. This project, which includes Capitol Street, Washington Street, Clinton Street, and the north sidewalk area along Burlington Street, is a complex project because it surrounds two new developments (Old Capitol Center and the parking ramp); because it abuts a significant amount of University property; and because it is located in an area with difficult topography. 2. In order to keep this project proceeding on a satisfactory schedule in relation to the schedules for the parking ramp and Old Capitol Center, it has been necessary to divide the design work and construction work into at least two parts. The initial phase of this project includes only the underground utility replace- ment and the "street" paving. It is necessary to proceed with this portion in order to ensure adequate circulation in the downtown, and to ensure access to the parking ramp when it is complete this fall. As soon as the Council approves the utility and street paving designs, Ames Engineering and Testing and the staff will proceed with preparation of detailed plans and specifications for the utility and street paving work, and with the preliminary design work for the sidewalk and amenity areas simultaneously. 3. This project is severely constrained physically, due to the topography and the functional needs on abutting properties. It is further constrained by the multiple parties (the City, Old Capitol Associates, and the University) which are involved. There are not a lot of options available in several aspects of this project. However, several key design and policy decisions must be made by the City Council at this time. The materials to be discussed with the Council on Monday include several design options. .In order to proceed with this project, the staff needs decisions. regarding: (a) Clinton Street -- Will Clinton Street be a four -lane or a two-lane street? (b) Washington Street -- Will through automobile traffic be allowed to travel through the bus staging and transfer area? . (c) Parking -- Will automobile storage be permitted in certain areas, or will pick-up and drop-off be emphasized? (d) Ramp Approach -- How will vehicle approach to the parking ramp be handled? In addition to these key questions, several design details need to be discussed with the Council. U73 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR kAPIDS.DES 140111[5 City Council March 2, 1979 Page 2 4. The primary objective of the March 5 discussion will be to obtain decisions from the Council so that we can proceed with final design, and bidding of this portion of the project. This includes the underground utilities and the curbline and "street" plans. We are not seeking concurrence on any amenity designs at this time.

The decision on who will coordinate the program is still pending. 2. An update on total assessed valuation was received from the County Auditor which listed a total assessed value of $543,967,758. This is an increase of $19,219 over the figure used in the Proposed FY80 Budget and will result in an increase in total tax revenue of $197. 3. The decision has been made to relocate the annual trans- fer of $50,000 from Mass Transportation for the Transit Replacement Reserve. It will instead be budgeted under the Administration Program. This is being done as the D.O.T. has declared the transfer an ineligible expendi- ture for inclusion in the operating expenditures covered by the State Transit Grant. At the same time, the D.O.T. has not allowed the City of Iowa City to decrease its local subsidy of Transit (budgeted property tax and General Revenue Sharing) in a like amount and insists that all of the subsidy must be used for eligible expenditures before the State Transit Grant can be used. Although the. Transit budget was prepared with the intent of using $50,000 of the total revenues to fund the transfer, the D.O.T. is forcing us into the situation where there is not $50,000 available for the transfer. For this reason, in FY80, the transfer will be made from Finance Administration rather than from Transit. In addition, General Revenue Sharing going into Transit will be reduced by $50,000 and this will instead go into Finance Administration for funding purposes. The net dollar effect of this action upon the General Fund will be zero, but it will allow us to fund our Transit System in the matter we choose. 5176 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAR IDS•DES 110INEs 1 --) City ®4 Iowa Ci¢'# x.�- : � ' sic S Date: February 26, 1979 To: City Manager and City Council From: Hugh A. Mose, Transit Manager V/W/ Re: Extending Evening Bus Service Until Midnrg At a recent review of Transit's FY80 budget, I was asked to provide information relevant to the ridership potential of bus service from 10:00 P.M. until midnight. To date I have been unable to find any hard data on the number of persons either getting off work or going to work at 11:00 P.M. The staff of the Institute for Urban and Regional Research is continuing to look into this, but it is their feeling that such data is not available. Dr. Ken Dueker of the Institute is not familiar with any recent research into the potential for late evening ridership in Iowa City. The only work in this area he could recall were projections of evening bus rider- ship made for the 1974 Transit Development Program, and this effort included only a comparison of Coralville and Cambus evening statistics. The projection at that time was that evening service altogether would account for 15% of total daily ridership. The most relevant data I have found is the current ridership statistics of Coralville Transit and Cambus, both of whom operate until after mid- night. The Coralville system operates one bus, which at the present time is averaging slightly under 10 passengers per hours in the late evening. The Cambus Hawkeye Route, however, is currently averaging about 30 passengers per hour during this same time period. Comparing Coralville's late evening ridership with their daily total reveals that between 1.6% and 2.5% of the Coralville ridership occurs after 10:00 P.M. For a recent ten-day period the late evening average was 1.85% of overall transit ridership. Assuming Iowa City Transit riders would exhibit similar behavior, during the winter months as many as 150 persons could be expected to ride the bus after 10:00 P.M. on any given week day evening. During the summer, when overall ridership is much, much lower, perhaps 50 to 75 persons would ride in the late evening. If the system averages 100 additional passengers per evening over the course of a year, revenue generated will be about $6,700. The cost of running the additional two hours will be approximately $48,000. jmI/28 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES I40111Es y 77 try*litW.... Zr . Date: February 26, 1979 To: City Manager and City Council From: Hugh A. Mose, Transit Manager Re: Bus Barn Project - Council Referral The City's plans to construct a new bus barn will be delayed in- definitely due to new Federal transit legislation. The Surface Transportation Act of 1978 has severely cut back the funds available under Section 3, the Federal Capital Assistance Program. This program used to be an inexhaustible source of money, and smaller systems such as ours were practically guaranteed assistance if the grant applica- tion was properly filed. All of that is changed now. Not only has the amount of money available for Section 3 been drastically reduced, but needs from Section 18 in the case o individual transit systems are expected to fulfill their routine capital f small urban areas, and Section 5 for larger cities, while for large-scale capital projects, such as Iowa City's bus barn, we must compete with every other city for the few available dollars. Thus, even if able to get the necessary funds. we become an SMSA, we may still not be I feel our best hope for funding is to wait until 1982 when the present legislation will expire. At that time we should lobby hard for a return to the format of the earlier Urban Mass Transportation Acts. In the meantime our best course of action would be to conduct a site feasibility study, to demonstrate our needs and fully evaluate potential sites. That way, if and when the dollars become available, we will be prepared to move immediately. jm5/22 q7,? MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES NOIRES City Of lowwa Ci^1 LacKL_:T_ .31? Date: March 2, 1979 To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works Re:� Review of Certain Parking Prohibitions At the February 27 meeting of the Council, Public Works was asked to review a few specific parking prohibitions in certain areas of town. In general, the Public Works Department feels the 8:00 A.M.-5:00 P.M. Monday -Friday parking prohibitions which have been newly erected on collector and arterial streets such as Governor, Sheridan, Summit and Jefferson should be considered in a different light than calendar prohibitions which have been erected on residential streets. As a class, collectors and arterials which have recently been posted "No Parking 8:00 A.M.-5:00 have always been posted "No Parking Anytime" on one side of the street and the parking on the other side was uncontrolled prior to January of this year. It was decided to leave these collector and arterial streets with "No Parking Anytime" on one side and prohibit parking on the other side from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday. This decision was reached primarily because of the City's inability to sign them calendar parking without having major disruption of the street paint marking program. In fact, if these collector and through streets were posted with calendar parking prohibitions the majority of collector and minor arterial street markings would have to be abandoned. The calendar parking that is presently being installed is occurring exclusively upon residential streets. It is Public Works' view that these new postings should be allowed to stand until the whole system is complete and is permitted to operate for approximately four weeks. At that time the calendar parking prohibition in residential areas should be reviewed for localized problem areas. The Council did list certain specific areas that they wanted reviewed immediately. GOVERNOR STREET BETWEEN BOWERY STREET AND BURLINGTON STREET. This portion of Governor Street is 31 feet wide. Prior to the new postings the west side of the street was posted "No Parkinc Anytime". There were two northbound driving lanes and one Parking lane on the east side which was uncontrolled. The 31 foot width provides for two ample driving lanes and one ample parking lane. As part of the prohibition plan of January 1979 the east side of this portion of Governor Street was signed "No Parking 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday". This M MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES y 79 2 prohibition now permits two wide lanes of traffic for northbound vehicles. It is the view of Public Works that this portion of Gover nor Street could revert to its original parking configuration with little impairment to the driving public. When street maintenance is required cardboard sign posting could be placed in this portion of Governor Street to effect that repair with minimal impact upon street crews' efforts. It would be very reasonable for Council to rescind the January 1979 prohibition and allow this portion of Governor Street to revert to its original parking configuration. SHERIDAN AVENUE BETWEEN SUMMIT STREET AND SEVENTH AVENUE. Sheridan Avenue is 25 feet wide in this portion. Prior to the January 1979 parking prohibition, parking on the south side was prohibited at all times. Parking on the north side was uncontrolled. As directed by the January 1979 parking plan the north side of Sheridan became "No Parking 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday". With the old parking configuration These there was one 8 foot parking lane and two 8 foot driving lanes. es were configuration8doesfoot providedaytime trafficnflow withard. Thea new much safer travel lane width especially on bus routes. It is recommended,by Public Works that the new parking configuration on Sheridan Avenue be retained. 3. 300 BLOCK OF EAST BLOOMINGTON. Council has suggested that parking meters be installed in the 300 block of E. Bloomington Street to support the commercial activity in this area. Public Works concurs in this judgment of Council but would suggest that I the 200 block of Linn Street and the 200 block of Gilbert Street I also be included in parking meter changes. Public Works' reasoning is that this would provide continuity for the enforcement effort and provide additional parking for the i commercial activity in this area. Public Works is .presently working with the Parking Systems Director to determine the best i configuration for this area and will be forwarding a recommendation to Council for its consideration at the March 13 meeting. EXCEPTIONS FOR SINGLE BUSINESSES. Council suggested that a separate policy be developed for those single business establishments who may be negatively impacted by the January parking program. Public Works concurs in this recommendation from Council and is in fact working with problems experienced by isolated commercial activity when those problems arise as a result of the ongoing installation of the January parking plan. SUNDAY MORNING PARKING FOR CHURCHES. In those areas where the calendar parking plan has reduced the parking for various churches on Sunday morning it is recommended that Council consider authorizing parking on Sunday morning between the r FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES It ^' 3 hours of 8:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. to resolve certain parking deficiencies for the City's churches. This would be accomplished by adding the "Sunday exception" to the existing signs. Public Works recommends that no wholesale changes be made at this time. At the present rate of installation, the Traffic Engineering Division will have completed all of the new installations by the end of March. The Council has attempted to solve a very difficult problem. While the Council may receive negative comments from the public, the Council should "stick with it" and give the whole plan a chance to work before it decides to make major revisions. cc: Jim Brachtel jm5/6 r -- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES City of Iowa Date: February 28, 1979 I To: Neal Berlin and City Cou i From: Richard Plastino Re: Grand Avenue Widening Early in the budget process I had listed an amount of $10,000 to widen Grand Avenue so two full lanes of traffic could turn from Byington onto Grand Avenue. Engineering has completed a more refined cost estimate. This estimate is $29,325. The additional cost is due to: 1. A short length of retaining wall is needed. 2. Concrete prices will run high due to the small nature of the job. Unless Council states otherwise, Finance will prepare a budget amendment for Council consideration to allow funding the extra cost of this project by bonding. bj3/19 cc: Denny Ganon Gene Dietz Rosemary Vitosh MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES k.:oty ov Iowa Ulity Date: February 27, 1979 To: Neal Berlin and City Council From: Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works R Re: Freeway 518 A telephone call 2/26/79 to Bob Humphrey of the IDOT office of Project Planning revealed the following information: 1.

Ile assigned Dianne E. Lacina, City horticulturist, the initial task of master planning and implementation of the arboretum. Because of the heavy work loads, intensive planning did not begin until December of 1978. The project involves the development of a Master Plan for a 40 acre tract of land, currently a part of Hickory hill Park. This entire park is a 100 acre site where an active nature interpretation program exists including mapped nature trails, corresponding seasonal guides, and guided tours. The initial phase of work (Phase One) involved the devel- opment of a Program and a Schematic Plan and was completed in February of 1979• Two workshops were conducted in Iowa City to gather ideas and feedback and to permit interested persons to take an active role in planning the arboretum. The master planning process is expected to require four months. WORKSHOP #1 The first arboretum workshop was held on January 22, 1979, The workshop was held to collect ideas and information for the purpose of establishing a program for development of the Hickory Hill Arboretum. The task force is comprised of a wide variety of interested persons including members of the Park and .Forestry Divisions, staffs, the University of Iowa Botany Department, the Iowa City Community School District, the Kirkwood College Iforti.culture Department, and many more. These people provided a large spectrum of ideas. From the input at this first workshop, a program was developed for the Hickory Hill Arboretum. This program will become a part of the final Master Plan to guide future arboretum development. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1401rlEs The Program It is essential that a program be established to illustrate the direction the Hickory llill Arboretum is to take. This program is based on ideas and research performed by the City of Iowa City Horticulturist and the Parks and Recreation Director and ideas and information gathered at the workshops attended by the Arboretum Planning Committee. Long Range Program Objectives -- To improve environmental awareness by preserving existing natural vegetation, thereby providing areas where visitors may be trained or participate in nature awareness meditation, casual walking, plant identification and study,, and other related activities. -- To provide passive recreational stimuli to the public that would include beautiful displays, walking, and observation of plant and animal life. -- To grow a selection of the "best" area, plants hardy in this - To serve as an outdoor laboratory and as a source of resource materials for use by homeowners, university and community school elements, industry and the general public and to offer continuing public education. -- To serve as a regional information, display, and dissemin- ation center for plant materials, landscape design concepts and Principles, horticultural, maintenance, and soil conservation techniques, pest control methods, and introduction and testing of new plant materials. Long Range Program Elements Public and Administrative Tacilities: -- Meeting and office space for the arboretum staff and for local arboretum support organizations, headquarters for accession records, library and herbarium facilities, and labeling procedures, throughout tthe rarboretuetive m including rmation llnatureldisplays,ba grid/map bulletin board, and displays accessible to the handicapped, -- Indoor and outdoor classroom space could be provided including an outdoor amphitheatre, /' 2 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOInES --.Display gardens are important for public support. The arboretum will provide seasonal displays on a limited basis designed to be both entertaining and informative. Research/maintenance: -- Greenhouse structure, equipment repair and storage sheds, and work space could be provided in the long range plans for the arboretum. Pedestrian and vehicular circulation: -- Existing parking facilities will be enlarged and paths will be defined to facilitate the movement of pedestrians and maintenance vehicles. -- Benches, rest stops, and litter receptacles will be located at various points along the circulation routes. Native plantings: -- Approximately nine acres of native forest exist on the original forty acre tract. This vegetation will be preserved for passive recreational use and interpretive displays. A program will be developed for the preservation and maintenance of these areas. Exotic plantings: -- Exotic plantings serve the important function of intro- ducing the visitor to plant materials they might not ordinarily find in the district. 'these plantings will be limited by the extent of protected areas in the arboretum. {Yater:. -- Water will be piped into the area and expanded as•devel- opment dictates. The existing creek and tributaries will provide natural moisture for the wetland forests. Program Basis The Hickory Rill Arboretum should be considered an extension of Hickory Hill Park, its natural timbers being made a woodland preserve. -- These timbered areas are the only natural woodlands owned by the City for public use at this time and should be protected against development. The arboretum site should be developed as an arboretum facility with an emphasis on education and beauty. r 3 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MoirlEs ra r -- To maximize the potential educational resources that can be developed in the arboretum, the concept of "active recreation", which includes tennis courts, ball fields, etc., should not be considered a part of the arboretum plan. -- The arboretum will serve as an important "passive recreation" source including walking and observation of plant and animal life. The Hickory Rill Arborefum Program should be looked at as an overall long range plan. -- The arboretum will be developed as funds and staff permit, always going in the direction the Program and Master Plan set forth. WORKSHOP #2 The second workshop was held on February 12, 1979. The purpose of this meeting was to update the Planning Committee members, to present two development/design concepts, and to discuss the third meeting. Development/Design Concepts Concept similarities: -- They utilize the same program elements including public and administrative facilities, maintenance facilities, and an outdoor amphitheatre. -- The basic vehicular and pedestrian circulation systems j are the same. No public vehicular traffic is allowed beyond the parking lots. -- The native timbered areas to be preserved are the same. -- The planting concepts are similar in that display gardens occur primarily around the administration building and directly east to the shelter. Ground cover would be predominantly lawn in order to allow informal pedestrian movement thorughout the plantings. i Concept differences: -- Concept N1 concentrates on the future development of all facilities north of the main entrance road. -- Concept #2 concentrates on the future development of administrative facilities and public parking north of the entrance road and development of future maintenance facilities south of the entrance road. -- Open space disbursement varies between the two concepts, 4 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES Development/Design Selection Based on feedback from Arboretum Planning Committee members, the City Horticulturist, and the Parks and Recreation Director Concept #1 was selected for the following reasons: Should facility development occur, it was felt that Concept #1 utilized existing parking to a better advantage. -- Open space disbursement in Concept #1 was favored because of compatibility with existing terrain. -- Concept #2 posed a possible traffic hazard with placement of future maintenance facilities across the road from future administrative facilities. -- Concept #2 posed a possible visual problem ass far as the proposed maintenance facilities. Because of limited space due to severe slopes, possible future buildings could not be screened. I i Conclusion Preparation of the Interim Report marks the end of Phase One, or the planning phase. Phase One has included: -- Refinement of the work schedule. -- Site analysis and study. -- Program creation. -- Schematic design. Phase Wo will include the Master Plan, a refinement of the schematics thus far, and the development of accession records and labeling techniques. These will be presented to the Arboretum Planning Committee on 6iarch 12, 1979. This phase of planning has been devoted to the laying of guidelines and the giving of direction to hickory hill Arboretum development. It is the belief of the people responsible for the completion of Phase One that this facility should be thoroughly planned and completely thought through before any planting is begun. This program and the Master Plan is oriented toward the future and must be taken in this regard. /ef 5 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB �fP4:� ul�PIP<•Uf. •t0I�1iS MINUTES OF STAFF MEETING January 31, 1979 Departmental referrals from the Council informal and formal meetings of January 29 and 30 were distributed to the staff (copy attached).

SEIB .flu// Hrenrlrrn(Tlle. WALL sill✓.z}J(IeRNAI. Until the city of Denver lent a hand—and money- the dream of owning a home had been slipping further and further from the reach of Linda and Henry Moncada. For months, they had squirreled away money for a down payment; she worked as a waitress so he could save every other pay check from his Job as a concrete contractor. They had high hopes of moving themselves and their four children out of a rented, cramped, twobedroom duplex into their own home. Then the Moncadas went shopping last hall and were dismayed to find that soaring Interest rates had made a home loan too ex- pensive for even two incomes. Besides, the SIAM they had saved wisn't enough for the hefty down payments required. Even the real-estate agent was discouraging: "She wanted us to come back In a couple of years," Mrs. Moncada sighs. Helped by City Bill the city Itself came to the rescue. Denver Is one of the first of a growing num• her of cities and counties to take the novel Mel) of raising home -mortgage money for Its citizens by selling tax-exempt bonds. The bond proceeds are lent by a savings and 10:111 assoclatlon to low -and moderato-irr ronle home buyers, who eventually pay off the bonds through their mortgage payments. Blrause the h•deral government doesn't tax the interest on xurh bonds, they provide sur• pnsmgly cheap uumry. Denver, for exam• ple. sold $ 0 million of bonds, and a local S&L is lending the money to home buyers at a Interest rate, some three percentage Paints below the going rate on conventional (nrle-9Mrnme111•guaranteed) loans. I:nder the plan, the Moncadas suddenly qualified for a Ivan. They made a $1,500 down payment on a turn•of•theeenmry house selling for $30,500. Their monthly pay ment. including real-estate taxes and Insur• anre, Is an affordable $232, at least Sso less than it would bean a conventional loan. Hundreds of other home buyers can tell similar happy stories because of the Innova• live owrtgage•bond concept, which in recent months has spread 101uch disparate places as r'hh^len and Pine I(luff. Ark. Much Criticism But the plans have plenty of critics. Some complain that the cities are abusing their tax -exemption privileges by financing costly private homes for middle-class people rather than aiding the poor. Others fear that a surge of bond offerings will hinder the sale of other tax-exempt revenue Issues mar• keted for traditional public purposes such as building airports. Still others say that by. putting more buyers Into the housing mar- ket. the bonds spur the Inflation In home: prices. Some S&Ls left out of the programs' gripe about unfair competition. And the in. lernal Revenue Service, which stands to lose millions of tax dollars, Is particularly un- happy; In fact, President Carter's budget message called for legislation to curb such housing bonds. Despite all the criticism, local govern- ments are eagerly latching onto the bond Idea. "There aren't any good reasons to think it won't go crazy In the next few years," says Thomas Vasquez, an official in the Treasury Department's Tax Analysis Of- fice. which Is studying the trend. The Congressional Budget Office says 27 Issues of tax-free bonds totaling $731 million have been sold by cities and counties since the concept was burn in Chicago and Minne• apolis last summer. Uncounted dozens of other bond sales are planned by cities like Lithe Rock and New Orleans, and the Trion. sury Department "conservadvely" esti• mates that the amount of new bonds this year will balloon to S2.5 billion. PoUllcally Popular Local officials are finding the prospect of raising cul -rate mortgage money for their constituents politically Irresistible, particu. larly N cities trying to stem urban flight. (However, the U.S. League of Savings Asso. ciations says more than a dozen states have laws apparently prohibiting use of bonds for private housing; but state legislatures could easily enact changes.) Even though the bonds typically are Issued by the cities and counties themselves -or, sometimes, by a local housing authority -the localities incur no liability; they don't pledge their "foil faith and credit," and the bonds are ser• viced with revenues derived from the mort- gage payments. Yet Investors are safe be. cause the home buyers, bath privately and as a group, must take out a variety of Insur• ance policies guaranteeing repayment. The bonds also are popular with Investors because the Interest, while modest, Is tax. free. The S&Ls make a fee for writing and collecting monthly payments on the mort• gage loans, and underwriters make money selling the bonds. "The concept of this thing is beautiful," gushes Charles Graham, assts. Ianl city manager of Pueblo, Colo., which said $20 million of bonds. "Everybody wins on this except the IRS," But among critics who doubt that every. body Is benefiting, some of the most vocal are those who charge. that the needy are being forsaken by many cities and counties; In contrast, state housing agencies tradi. tionally raise tax-exempt money for rental housing for the poor. Although most locall• Iles put Income limits on loan applicants to bar the well-heeled, the limits vary widely. In Denver, for example, families making up to S2000 a year can qualify for loans; In Chicago, the limit Is $40,000. Duarte, Calif., fliCROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CLIIAP RhPIM-DEC riolli[s and Milwaukee are starting programs with. out any Income limits at all, although loans must be used for houses In areas that offi• cials hope to revitalize. Faced with heavy criticism, Oakland County, Mich., rejected plans for a $loo Ing. lion bond Issue that would have provided loans of up to $100,000 to families earning as much as $50,000. A public hearing on the Idea drew nothing but critics calling the plan a subsidy to the rich and the middle class, who already get tax breaks on hous• Ing. "Everybody kept saying. 'Where Is the 'social purpose here?' - says Michael Me— mann, a spokesman for the wealthy subur- ban•Detrolt county. The use of tax-free money to help higher - income families concerns at least one key Congressman, Rep. Henry Reuss, Democrat of Wisconsin, who Is chairman of the House Banking Committee. "The original Idea of helping low -Income famWes in the Inner cities has been long lost," he says. He adds That Congress is likely to consider limits on tax-free housing bonds. However, In a recent speech to Congress, Rep. Frank Annunzio, Democrat of Illinois, supported the housing bonds as a way of at. tracting middle-income families to titles and staving off lax -base erosion. "Although Only a small step toward arresting the de- cline of America's cities," he said, "the QII- 490 plan is an Important one. It shows that, by shedding antagonism and working to- gather, local businesses and govemment can bring our cities back to life—without the aid or supervision of the Washington bureau. cracy." Driving Up Prices The complaint that low-cost mortgage money Is driving up home prices Is ex- jpressed by John Kelly, a Denver real-estate Agent who calls the bond -financing plan "the most unfair governmental program I have seen." He notes that the housing market al- hady Is overheated In Denver, where the Lost of owning a home Luse a staggering 21% In the past year. "The bond salesmen took a look at the real-estate market In Den. Ver and said, 'How can we cash In? " he charges. By driving up all home prices, he argues, the bond program actually will hurt low -in• come buyers, who can least afford more in. flation. And because traditional lenders still lieelde who gets loans, there isn't any guar• antee that needy famtfies will benefit he adds. For cities and counties, whfch would seem to have nothing to lose In the mart. gage -bond game, there Is the morersubde danger that the bond market could be flooded with the housing Issues. If too many such Issues are offered, bond buyers could demand higher Interest rates on them, and eventually municipalities may have to pay higher rates on all tax -exempts issued to D• (tante traditional projects, warns John Sam. ;uels, tax legislative counsel in the Treasury Department. However, he adds, "Most mu• nlclpallties are run by politicians who don't care about what happens In 10 years." Similarly, Rep, Reuss says he worries at "municipalities are going to Md that they can't erect a fire station" because "'sharp -talking" bond salesmen have stretched the market with housing issues. "The Titanic Is sinking, and Congress ought to do something about it," he says. 5'F/ Underwriter's view At E.F. Hutton & Co., a leder o wrier writing housing bods.

Assoc.) present. Claves pointed out that in his memo of 3/2, he had listed four issues on which decisions needed to be made, but today the Staff needed a decision on street paving; whether or not Clintonwould be a four - lane or a two-lane street, and on Washington St, would automobile traffic be allowed thru the bus staging and transfer area. Leaman pointed out on the drawings provided, uses of a 2 -lane Capitol St. There are 2 entrances to the parking ramp from the South, 3 exits, both north and south, loading docks, and a truck storage area where trucks can wait to use loading docks. Washington Street had spaces for 6 east bound buses and 7 westbound buses (two using a center island).

It was suggested that Councilmembers who wereabsent should listen to the tape-recording instead of rehashing the previous discussions. Regarding the Washington St. bus staging area, Glaves advised that car access had not been designed into the drawing shown. It was suggested that in addition to a one-way east for cars on Washington between Capitol and Clinton, a left turn on Washington from Capitol could be tried. Balmer & Vevera agreed that if Clinton was 4-lane,they would agree to a one-way on Washington. Mose pointed out that some buses would have to be parking north on Clinton in front of the Pentacrest, as Cambus & Coralville routes circulate clockwise around the Pentacrest, so there are more west -bound buses. Gibson introduced Rich Gardner who had reviewed plans with Leaman last week. There is a difference between the plan they reviewed and the one presented today. Leaman pointed out that a crosswalk had been located to the East for a balanced design, to retain symmetry with Old Capitol, but to accomplish this, a second bus space would have had to be deleted. The grade problem on the Engineering Bldg. i corner was explained. Many trade-offs have been made by each agency. Staff will meet with Gibson to resolve the crosswalk problem by Monday.
