The proposed ordinance establishes the Senior Center Commission.
While the ordinance organizationally includes this Commission in
the Parks and Recreation Department, the attached Job description
indicates that the Senior Center Coordinator will serve under the
%I
administrative direction of the City Manager. While ultimately it
'
is expected that this will he the function of the Parks and Recrea-

Glavea, Boren, Kron, Schmadeke, Kraft, Plastino, Dietz, Mose,
Brachtel, Showalter, Gibson (Univ.) & Popelka, Nelson & Leaman
from Ames Engineering, Klaus (Old Cap. 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. wauld 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), Clinton St. has one entrance to the ramp from
the north, passenger & package pickup areas, & two lanes for traffic.
Engineering constraints were explained. All water will drain away
from the Mall area by slanting the street. Things & Things & Apple
Tree areas are the lowest areas. Roof of the Mall will drain to
the Burlington St. storm system. Discussion to finalize location
Of utilities is scheduled.
Plastino & Glaves presented reasons they favored a 2 -lane Clinton St.
Berlin & Mose explained reasoning for favoring 4 lanes. Vevera &
Balmer favored 4 lanes; Perret & Leaman, 2 lanes; Erdnhl suggested
a 3 -lane consideration. Less use of Clinton will be the result of
revised transit routes, more use of Capitol.

Council Informal
March 5, 1979
Michelle Fisher, Pres. Downtown Assn. stated that it was their
consensus that they want 4 lanes on Clinton, and some traffic
thru on Washington, possibly one lane, one-way east. Also they
suggested 20 minute meters on Clinton, 3 stalls in a bay.
Tom Wegmen, Things & Things, asked Council to make it easy for
people to get downtown & favored 4 lanes. Dick Gibson (Univ.)
assumed it would be 4 -lane, but objected to referring to Madison
as an arterial. Jack Klaus (Old Cap. Assoc.) noted that their
tenants wanted 4 lanes, & cited the Barton-Aschman report which
indicated 4 lanes.
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, Claves 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
i
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.
corner was explained. Many trade-offs have been made by each
agency. Staff will meet with Gibson to resolve the crosswalk
problem by Monday. Discussion of other issues will continue next
week, including plans for Capitol St. Gibson advised that the Cline
Building will eventually be removed, and area used for a green area.
He requested consideration of 'no parking' on Washington between
Madison & Capitol. City staff was not averse to this idea. Gloves
stated that there was not a whole lot that could be changed on
Capitol St.
Meeting adjourned, 5:15 PM.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
Chairperson Swisher brought the meeting to order. It was noted that the date February
I, 1979 should be changed to January 31, 1979. The minutes were unanimously approved
as written.
HEAT LOSS IDENTIFICATION -- Roger Tinklenberg
Roger Tinklenberg, Energy Coordinator, presented a slideshow and the Hughes Probeye
camera. Tinklenberg explained how pictures of houses are taken with the camera to
identify regions of heat loss. A photograph of an area of a house is mailed to
iowners accompanied by a letter explaining the Heat Loss Identification process.
In the 403 area, the service if free to single family and duplex dwellings. Mulit-
family (apartments) are charged a fee of $5.00. If an owner living outside the 403
program area requests the service a fee of $7.00 is required for a single family
and duplex dwellings and $1.00 per square foot for commercial businesses.
Pecina asked how repairs for energy conservation are recommended to owners.
i Tinklenberg said copies of two fliers which show how to use and install materials
for proper insulation are given to owners.
At present problems with personnel are holding up progress. Tinklenberg said hopefully
by the end of this week a person will be hired to operate the Hughes Probeye.
Swisher inquired about the number of requests for complete heat loss surveys from
owners Tinklenberg had received. Tinklenberg reported that photographs had not yet
been sent out to owners in the 403 area, but he was acting on requests from other owners.
At this time 195 houses have been photographed.
The Committee thanked Tinklenberg for his presentation.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION CONFERENCE:
Milkman and Swisher attended a conference on Citizen Participation in Kansas City,
Kansas. Milkman explained the object of the meeting was to monitor the use of federal
funds through citizen participation. Milkman suggested that the members of CCN
should familarize themselves with HUD regulations, since HUD can not monitor all
the programs. HUD will look at citizen comments more critically to ensure funds
are being allocated properly. Swisher asked the Committee to write down comments
from citizens regarding complaints or approval of ongoing Block Grant projects.
The Committee was asked to monitor the programs closely to see if projects were
getting accomplished. Swii6hor said he would like to see CCN members solicit citizen
comments and become more actively involved with the programs. Milkman recommended

members read "Citizen Involvement in Community Development," a pamphlet received
at the conference. Swisher explained that if Iowa City's population goes over
50,000 in the 1980 census, the City would automatically become an entitlement
area and would receive regular Community Development funds.
! SENIOR CENTER:
Ben Wiese, a practicum student working on the Senior Center, presented a slide show
entitled, "The Bridge," regarding Senior Centcrs.
A question was raised as to the status of the air rights problem with the Ecumenical
Housing. Milkman said the number of units will be reduced and the orientation
I of the building changed. Air rights over the Knights of Columbus building will
I no longer be needed.
CDBG PROGRAMS:
s
Nelson Adult Center -- Patrick
j Patrick was informed by Betsy Riesz of the Johnson County Association for Retarded
Citizens that staff is currently working on the environmental review and negotiating
for purchase of the old Drug Pair building. CDBG funds and proceeds from the sale
of a building previously owned by JCARC would be the downpayment on a loan for the
structure, while rent from Systems Unlimited would cover the loan payments. Riesz
suggested members of CCN should visit the facilities at Townerest.
Parks and Recreation Improvements -- Ward
'rhe Conklin shelter should be completed by late summer or fall. Physical fitness
equipment for Wetherby and Willow Creek parks have arrived and installation should
begin as soon as weather permits.
Senior Center -- Clark
Furniture selection has begun so bids can be let by the end of March. Schematic
design plans should be ready for review in April.
Carter asked when the Senior Center would open. Milkman said probable opening is
scheduled for May 1980.
OTHER BUSINESS:
Eve Casserly volunteered for monitoring the Spouse Abuse program.
The report on (lousing Rehabilitation was deferred until the April meeting since
City Council and the Housing Commission had not yet reviewed the program. The
Committee requested more information on the program soon.
Also at the April meeting the City will know if a Small Cities full application is
requested by HUD.

j IOWA RIVER WATER QUALITY
i
Donald McDonald, representing the Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research at the
University of Iowa made a presentation entitled, "Iowa River Water Quality."
McDonald said water samples are taken once a week from the river to check the water
for pollution levels. Ile mentioned the main cause of pollution in the river was
the run off from agricultural land, not the industries in the City. In the spring,
the water quality is poor because the snow melts and creates run off from the land.
In summer, the low flowing months, the water is of the best quality.
'there are five major constituents causing pollution: nutrients, pesticides, silt
producing turbidity, bacteria, and organic matter. Pesticides, many of are now
banned, still remain in fish and soil. Bacteria are a potential hazard for
diseases. In the past few years the only increase in pollution has been the
nitrate and ammonia levels.
McDonald commented that in production
and Coralville of pounds of fist) per acre, the Iowa River
Reservior is the largest in the state.
i
Baker asked how effective a green belt was around the river's tributaries. McDonald
said it was helpful because it absorbed some run off but added there was no incentive
for this project. Knight wondered if waste from the northern corridor area, which
is heavily populated and has a good number of septic tanks contributes to the water
Pollution problem. McDonald said not much waste came from this area, only some
nitrates and phosphates. The main problem is due to agricultural practices. Neuzil
aksed flow long the constituents stayed in suspension in the river. McDonald commented
that during low flow months the constituents would settle and during high flow
Periods they would continue down river.
Gilpin inquired if the Ri.verfront Commis
water quality reports from McDonald's ofsion could receive tmonthly and annual
and suggested members might wish to attefice. McDonald said he ait would be arranged

Gilpin wondered why fishing by the Burlington Street dam was so good. McDonald
explained that most fish prefer the faster current and there is also plenty of
oxygen in faster water and many types of organisms to feed on.
McDonald finished his presentation by saying the number one problem was loss of
soil resources not water pollution.
The Commission thanked McDonald for coming to the meeting.
BOAT RAMP
Gilpin read the minutes of the meeting on February 14th from the Parks and Recreation
Commission. The minutes reflected that Parks and Recreation was not going to repair
or reopen the boat ramp in the City Park.
On March 7th Gilpin, Knight, and Milkman surveyed the river on both the east and
west banks between Burlington Street dam and the Highway 6 bridge. Milkman noted
the City had been promised a 45-50 foot easement next to the river at Sturgis
Corner. This area, south of Wendy's, would be a natural location for a boat ramp.
The Commission hopes that Braverman will donate the land and possibly provide an
easement.
Neuzil asked where parking for vehicles would be constructed. Gilpin explained
that the area would have to be cleared of all obstacles to construct a parking area.
Gilpin asked Don Dolezal, a fisherman, if he would tell the Commission where he
felt the best placement of a boat ramp would be. Dolczal suggested the boat ramp
be placed by Benton Street bridge. Another suggestion Dolezal had was to relocate
some rock underneath the railroad bridge to create a passage way. Dolczal said
this area is the only place where a boat can not pass through.
Dr. Spector, a fisherman, commented that nothing is done to motivate fishing in
Iowa City. lie noted there were no recreation facilities along the river. Spector
agreed the ramp could be .located under the Benton Street bridge near the Ready Mix
Company. Ile pointed out that now the closest access to launch a boat safely was
near Highway 6 Bypass. Ken Irving, a Fire Fighter, said a boat ramp near the Benton
Street bridge or near Highway 6 would be helpful for rescue services since there
is no ramp on the river.
Tim Derr, Coralville Water Officer for the Iowa Conservation Commission, said money
was available for a boat ramp on a 50-50 basis. Dorr explained the money came from
a Marine fuel tax fund. The Conservation Commission and the Iowa Natural Resources
Commission would have to approve the plans for the ramp and a Corps 404 permit is
required. The entire bill for construction costs would have to be paid before the
Conservation Commission would contribute their half. A parking lot could be included
on a 50-50 basis also. Plans for ramps can be acquired through the Conservation
Commission or plans from the Riverfront Commission could be submitted for approval,
A very rough cost estimate for a single lane ramp would be approximately $10,000-
$12,000 without the parking facility.
Gilpin asked how long implementation of the project would take. Derr said a letter
of request would take approximately two weeks. Then there would be a bidding process,

he added the funds needed to be committed before June 30, 1979. A question was
raised as to what control the State would have over the ramp. Dorr answered the
Commission would issue a construction permit and the plans needed to be approved
but after that the ramp would be the City's responsibilty. Derr added he felt
the area chosen for the boat ramp by the Riverfront Commission was an excellent
choice.
The Riverfront Commission thanked Dorr for attending the meeting.
Baker moved and Neuzil seconded a recommendation that the staff proceed with checking
ownership of the property, cost estimates, and access for a boat ramps Unanimously
approved.
BIKEWAY MATCHING FUNDS PROBLEMS
Milkman explained that federal bikeway funds were authorized but not appropriated
by Congress at this time. The Mayor has written letters to the senators and
congressmen to push for the bikeway funds. Information will be sent to the Iowa
Department of Transportation with a possibility of acquiring State Highway funds
for the Rocky Shore Drive trail.
Milkman said that plans for rip -rap along Rocky Shore Drive would go ahead.
j LETTERS TO CORALVILLE AND THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMIQSSION
Gilpin aknowledged a letter from Mayor Kattchee of Coralville regarding the catawalk
on the old Power Dam, and changed the minutes of Parks and Recreation.
Howard Fountain (guest) stated that parking on Sand Road, by fishermen was creating
traffic problems. The Commission asked Milkman to speak to Dennis Showalter about
this.
STATUS OF RIVER CORRIDOR OVERLAY ZONE ORDINANCE
Milkman explained an intern was working on the ordinance and had completed an outline.
NEW BUSINESS
i
Gilpin mentioned the Iowa Natural Resources Council's recent recommendation that
there will be no more building in the flood plain. Gilpin suggested the Commission
I write a letter of support to the Council on this matter.
I,
Milkman said Dennis Showalter commented that Camp Cardinal was on a long term lease
with the Rotary Club and it is understood that when the lease runs out, the land
will revert to the City.
Gilpin said the City Council would like to hear from the liiverfront Commission possibly
on Monday March 19, 1979 regarding the landscaping of the service buildings area.
Knight recommended the Commission members survey the area. It was suggested to plant
trees by the buildings for shading purposes, plant greenery to hide the buses, and
a proper paint job should be done on the buildings. Kroeze moved and Knight seconded
that the City should hire an architect to design a Comprehensive landscaping Plan

RECOMMENDATIONS i0 THE CITY COUNCIL:
The Iowa City Human Riahts Commission, concerned with the Linda Eaton
complaint and possible future complaints of discrimination by City
employees, unanimously passed a resolutoin to request from the City
Council and the City Manager clarification of the Commission's role
— - and responsibilities in discrimination complaints by City employees
including Ms. Eaton's complaint. At this time, the Commission does
not accept and investigate formal discrimination complaints by City
employees due to a conflict of interest since the Commission's
investigator is a City employee. The Commission, however, is
concerned with providing a mechanism by which City employees can
approach and request assistance from the Commission in resolving
such complaints.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY MANAGER AND STAFF
None
SUMMARY OF RELEVANT DISCUSSION:
Allen had two corrections on the January 22 and the February 11, 1979

asked for $23,133.00 dollars an increase of $1,062.00 dollars. The
city approved the increase with out any objections.

Marylee Dixon about a new Cots Supplemental in School Program. Ann

on Mayor's Youth receiving ADC below the required level.

gram. Marylee Dixon reported that after reviewing the budget
Lhere is enough money to add 11 more to the 35 already enrolled.

cement at each radio station, an add in the Citizen Press, con-
tacting school counsilors, and contacting the group homes were the
suggestions.

RECONIMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL:
To approve the design plans for Anna's Place with the following revisions: the
developer change the color selection to a dark brown siding; black shingles; a
dark brown brick as close to the siding color as possible, or use the natural
wood on the lower level. Also the Design Review Committee see the samples of the
colors before ordering.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
Chairperson Lilly brought the meeting to order. Wockenfuss requested the following
changes on the minutes of February 14 and 28 to read; (14) he was present at the
meeting, (28) wished to include that there was too much striping of colors on the
building. Alexander moved to approve the minutes as changed, Lafore seconded,
unanimously approved.
ANNA'S PLACE:
Glaves told the Committee that they needed to make a decision to approve or disapprove
the plans for Anna's Place so that the plans could be reviewed by the City Council.
He noted the issues which had been raised were, color of siding, exterior lighting,
exterior signage, trash, and plantings. The developer is willing to use the Ash or
Maple trees.suggested by the Committee. There will be no exterior signage, and the
exterior lighting will be in the doorways only. The trash disposal will be located
in the basement of the building because not enough space is available for a dumpster
in the parking area. The colors come in seven choices, red, dark brown, white,
avocado, turquoise, gold, and harvest blue. Glaves said the developer is willing to
use any color that is available. Alexander felt the mixture of color was the real
issue.
Summerwill noted that several other buildings were tan colored and asked why this
building could not be. Glaves said a tan was not available from the building
prefabricator, and though a different supplier possibly had the tan color he would
not suggest they change suppliers.
Lilly felt the presentation was not professional because no samples were given and
the Committee's questions were not answered. Lilly said without seeing samples the
I Committee could not make a recommendation. Glaves noted that the Design Review
Committee did not see the brick color for the Hotel, City Plaza, or Old Capitol
Center.
Summerwill said the color and texture are important details for consideration to
be approved. Lafore suggested to use the wood on the lower level ns well as the
deck. Wockenfuss felt the dark brown with natural wood and dark brown brick may
look nice, but something should be done with the shingles.

Lilly commented that she felt the use of materials was unacceptable.
Glaves asked the Committee for a decision to approve or disapprove. The concern
of some members was the color and they felt they could not approve because there
were no samples of colors. Glaves noted that most of the colors were self
explanatory. Lafore asked if the colors were shiny, and Glaves said the degree
Of gloss would be similar to the Iowa State Bank building which is metal clad.
A question was raised as to the color of the shingles. Claves said the plans
indicated the shingles were grey or black in color. The Committee felt a black
color for the shingles was the best choice. The Committee was concerned with the
variety of materials used and felt the building should be more harmonized.
Lilly stated the objection that the Committee was being asked to design the building.
Glaves responded that the Committee had two choices of action when they reviewed
the plans; they could vote to approve or disapprove plans without comment; or
they could review the plans and comment regarding the features they liked, or
wished changed. If the Committee felt that this meant they were designing the
building they could simply vote without comment. Glaves stated that he felt
that providing comments and guidance was the role the City Council had intended
the Committee to have.
Glaves stated that as far as he could tell, the Committee's objections all revolved
around the fact that the design was too busy, with too many different colors and
textures. Glaves suggested that the developer be asked to revise the plans to
use dark siding; to use a dark brown brick to match the siding; and to
use black shingles. The natural wood could be retained as the single accent.
Haupert suggested that using the wood on the lower level, instead of brick would
also be acceptable.
Upon motion and second, the Design Review Committee voted 4-2 to approve the design
plans for Anna's Place with the following revisions: the developer change the siding
color to a dark brown; use black shingles on the roof; select a dark brown brick
as close to the color of the siding as possible or use the natural wood on the
lower level, and that the Design Review Committee review the samples of the colors
and materials before the developer orders.
Lilly asked if the plans for the Submarine Heaven could be reviewed. Gloves said
he had not heard of any plans for the Submarine Heaven and that he had set it up
with Housing and Inspection Services so the Design Review Committee would review
CDB exterior plans that came in. Lilly also noted that the Hawkeye Barber Shop was
different from the previous plans. Glaves said the Barber Shop was not completed yet.
Summerwill asked the status of the Streetscape Plans and Glaves commented that he could
bring the plans
been startedyet, but eheetold the tCommittee thelsuggestionsgn for thenfor menithepfixturesawould
remain the same as City Plaza if no one had any objections.
Summerwill wondered if the planters on Clinton Street were going to be removed because
some of the planters were broken and looked terrible. Glaves said the broken planters
could be removed and he would talk to Public Works about this. He noted that if the
planters were removed they would be replaced with barrels or a snow fence and he
felt the planters looked better. Glaves also commented that the temporaries could

Lilly asked about the status of City Plaza construction. Glaves said the builders
were constructing the first kiosk at the south end of Dubuque Street. The status
of Old Capitol Center was discussed. The block 83 parking ramp is progressing well
and the contractor expects to begin execution of the precast super structure around
April 2. Glaves noted that the parking ramp would be constructed approximately
one year before the Old Capitol Center is open.
Summerwill asked the status of the hotel. Glaves said construction would not start
until fall at the earliest.
Lilly asked if anything was heard from Norm Bailey concerning the building on
Dubuque and College Streets. Glaves said Bailey is trying to plan a three story
building and make it work economically. The layout will probably be about the
same but the design details might change because of the change in building
proportion.
There being no futher business, the meeting was adjourned.

Re: Item For The Agenda -- Council Meeting of March 20, 1979
CONSIDER A RESOLUTION FIXING DATE FOR A MEETING ON THE PROPOSITION OF
THE ISSUANrE OF $2,000,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS (FOR AN ESSENTIAL
CORPORATE rURPOSE) OF IOWA CITY, IOWA, AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION OF
NOTICE THEREOF.
Comment: This resolution provides for a public hearing on the issuance
of $2,000,000 general obligation bonds. The total bond issue will be
for $5,500,000 in general obligation bonds, however because the library
election approved the issuance of $3,500,000 worth of bonds, the hearing
does not have to cover that portion of the bond issue. The date set for
public hearing by this resolution is March 27, 1979. This item was not
included in the formal agenda packet as the legal papers were not re-
ceived from the bonding attorney in time.

Dear Mr. Hunter:
At its regular meeting of March 20, 1979, the City Council received and
placed on file your letter concerning calendar parking and trash pickup.
Your supportive comments regarding the calendar parking on Ronalds Street
are certainly appreciated. The City Council will be allowing more time
to receive citizen input before a final decision is made. At that time
your letter will be taken into consideration.
The Council has determined that refuse pickups will no longer be made
from alleys. It is felt that the presence of garbage trucks in alleys
makes it extremely difficult for cars to drive through the alleys. The
Public Works Department is now cleaning all trash from alleys for the
last time. The regulations covering litter and the storage of refuse
cans will be strictly enforced to prevent any unsightly appearance.
If you should see any violations of these regulations, I would appreciate
your reporting the location to the Public Works Departmedt or to me.
Sincerely yours,

I Dear Mr. biose:
I I realise that the transit system has been having scheduling problems lately.
i Ilowever, the new schedule for the West Benton route seems to have created a new
+ and aggravating situation.
\ ) I tool: the 5:30 W. Benton bus home tonight. I was aware that it took a loop
route that goes directly out to (dark IV and then proceeds down W. Benton St. and
` k to the Oakcrost area. There were 21 people on the bus which is normal for this
i time. Four got off at the Llnerald St. stop and six at Mark IV. The remaining
eleven of us waited at Mark IV for 15 minutes while the bus driver read a pam-
phlet, obviously using up time till he started the second part of the loop.
+ I arrived home at about 6:05. This is a 35 minute bus ride that normally Lakes
l ].0-1?. minutes. If I had wanted to arrive home this late, I could have taken
the 6:00 p.m. bus and used the half hour I spent waiting on the bus in a useful
1 manner.
I am disgusted for several reasons: 1) 5:30 p.m. is not a rush hour situation
in either traffic or passenger volume senses, and there doesn't seem to be prob-
lems of overflow from the five o'clock situation. 2) To have over half of a
bus's passengers sit for a long period of time for no apparent reason definitely
quells desires to use mass transit in the future. 3) It is silly not to offer
the option of getting off in U-Ileights and thus let people walk the remaining
In mile home especially when the City Council has indicated its desires to resume
U-Ileights service.
+ I would appreciate a reply. Thank -you.

XPPIEIENTAL SEATS SERVICE
A Proposal to the City Council of Iowa City to supplement available programs @W
transportation for the elderly and the handicapped.

1. The home origin or destination of all trips would be within the corp-
orate limits of Iowa Cityl however, the area of service would be the
metropolitan area of Johnson County within the corporate limits of

2. The provision of transportation under this proposal would be ad-
ministered by Johnson County SEATS. Elderly and handicapped residents

The SEATS dispatcher would determine if the ride is eligible for the
subsidized taxi service and would inform the Better Cab Co. dispatcher
of the intended trip, whereupon a taxi would be dispatched.
3. For the purposes of this program, and elderly person would be defined
as any individual over 60 years of ages a handicapped person is de-
fined as any individual with ambulatory, manual, visual, audial, or
I
mental impairments which seriously limits his/her ability to obtain
adequate transportation either through the use of pri•.ste automobile
or public transit. The spouses accompanying eligible persons would
also be eligible to obtain rides.
4. At present, SEATS service operates approximately 74 hours a week.
during its hours of operation, the following trips would be eligible
for subsidized taxi services
(1) Medical (i.e. doctor, dentist, drugstore)
trips that cannot be easily scheduled twenty-four hours in
U
advance,
^
L=J U
(2) Any other trip that cannot reasonably be served by Johnson

CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES
III. Compensation
1. Each eligible participant would pay A Better Cab Co. $0.50 for each
trip and the City would subsidize the remaining cost of the trip. The
determination of the total trip cost would be based on the current fare
structure of taxi companies --$1.45 for the firzt mile and $.50 for each
additional half -mile.
2. On a monthly basis the taxi company would request reimbursement from
the City for the amount of the trip subsidy. With this request, an
Itemization of the origin and destination of each trip would be pro-
vided by the taxi company. Copies of these records would be delivered
to the Johnson County SEATS administrator for verification.
3. Funding of $500/month would be allocated by the City for the provision
of services pursuant to this agreement. In addition to providing for
fare subsidies, a portion of the funds would be allocated for adver-
tising and public relations purposes. A Better Cab Co, would match
.j any funds designated by the City for such purposes, one for one.
IV. Indemnification
A Better Cab Co. would agree to defend, indemnify and save harmless the
City of Iowa City, its officers, employees, and agents from any and all
liability of claims of damages arising under the terms of this agreement.
V. Assignment
A Better Cab Co. would not assign, sublet or transfer its interest in
this agreement without the written consent of the City and such assign-
ment shall be void.
VI. Discrimination
A Better Cab Co. will not commit any of the following employment practices:
a. To discharge from employment or refuse to hire any individual because
of their race, creed, color,national origin, religion, age, sex,
marital status, sexual orentation, or disability.
b. To discriminate against any individual in terms, conditions, or
privileges of employment becauseof
theis maritalcstatus, ep dsexual rorien-
sex
national origin, religion, age, ,
tation or disability.

during the period of this Argument which shall be monitored and
approved by Ms. Zukrowski, Civil Rights Spec. of Iowa City.
MICROFILMED BY

2. A Better Cab Co. has written qualifications which are job related for
each job classification.
3. A Better Cab Co. maintains records of the number of vacancies,the race
and sex of each applicant, of the person hired and each current employee.
The Civil Rights Specialist may inspect these records during normal
business hours.
4. A Better Cab Co. will advertise in the Iowa City Press Citizen and the
Daily Iowan when deemed necessary by the Civil Rights Specialist to
obtain a pool of qualified women and minority applicants for vacancies
in all job classifications. The ad will state that A Better Cab Co.
is an "Equal Opportunity Employer."
VIII. Duration
This program would run from April 1, 1979, to June 309 1979. Upon agree-
ment of the parties, the terms of this program may be extended an additional
thirty (30) days, pending negotiations for renewal.
i
Should the council endorse this proposal and request immediate implementation of it,
A Better Cab Co, agrees to put the program into effect on forty-eight hours notice.
f!

RhIA CITY CITY MANAGEP; CITY CLE_ IK
I attended the public meeting on Monday and heard some
complaints and ideas concerning the current parking regula-
tions in Iowa Citv. Since there is an obvious need to per-
sonalize regulations for every street, I would like to tell
you what I feel would be best for East College St. and why.
I would like to take the approach, as I'M sure you and
the city council will, of meeting the needs of the city for
the city streets, but in a way that residents of E. College
can live with happily.
1. Prevent street storage of cars Since there is already
a shortageof parking spacesa ong fi. College, I'm sure all
of the unnecessary cars have been removed. If not, there is
already an ordinance in effect in Iowa City to remedy that
problem .... the V hour limit on unmoved cars. Apparently
1 thid rule is currently being enforced only upon request. I£
you want this ordinance to become more effective, simply be-
gin routinely enforcing it. Then you wouldn't need to have
two ordinances to obtain one result. In addition, ,you would
be specifically reaching those drivers who do store their cars
on city streets instead of using a system which requires all.
drivers to move their cars at a specific time of day, causing
additional drain on our time and everyone's gasoline.
2. Prevent commuters from parking in residential areas,
f This has been a prbblem on E, College St., especially in the
500 block, which is so near downtown, has 4 business eatab-
li.shments, and has considerably less off-street parking than
the law requires per tenant unit. Taking circumstances as
they are, parking is tight. Add to that the additional bur-
den of halving the available parking spaces by daily rest,-
�' rictions, and ,you are greatly inci•eaaing the problem, not
helping it. Let me illustrate.
What the calender parking 8-11 has done is to free the
"Correct side of the street" for the day for the commuters
to come and park their card before 8 AM, leaving no room for
residents to park their cars, unless they have moved them
after 11 PM the night befo':e, which is not safe in Iowa City.
Modifying the hours of the calendar parking to 8-5
with no restrictions on weekends and holidays would allow
residents to park their cars,before nonresidents come thru
in the morning, but would still increase the parking prob-
lem by decreasing the dumber of parking spaces available to
the same number of residents who must park on the street.
It was stated by one of the councilmembers that the
no parking P-5 is usually instituted at the request of the
resi.dpnts of a particular area, and I'M sure in these cases
those who request it have plenty of off-street parking for
themselves. 9his is not the case on Fast College, and I
am certain the residents would never request such a regu-
lation, considering the great problem it is creating for the

Under no condition should Clinton Street be turned Into a four lane thoroughfare.
The last thing we want is a large through street which will entice and permit people to

The City Council has decided that Clinton Street should be designed as
a four lane street. This decision was not made because four lanes are
necessary to carry high volumes of traffic. Rather, the decision was
made because we are convinced that the high level of activity in the
downtown, with people driving to and from the parking ramps, with people
dropping off and picking up passengers, with merchandise being delivered
to the stores, and with a large number of pedestrians walking to and
fro, would lead to a highly undesirable level of congestion unless space
is provided for these different activities with minimum conflicts. We
expect that the added two lanes will provide space for the passenger
pick-up and goods delivery functions without completely blocking the
flow of traffic in the other two lanes.
We are very sensitive to the problems of ensuring that pedestrians can
easily cross Clinton Street so that it does not become a barrier. We
believe that this can be accomplished with the four lane configuration
by careful treatment at the intersections of Washington Street with
Clinton, and College Street with Clinton. We expect that pedestrian
activated signals will be used to ensure this.
The design of Clinton Street authorized by the City Council does not
call for a large number of parking meters. There will be space for only
six cars on the east side of Clinton Street in the entire two block
length. The City Council has not decided whether these spaces will be
designated loading zones or metered parking areas.

TO: The'Mayor & Members of the Iowa City Council
When we moved our retail operation to its present
location a number of years ago, we petitioned the
City Council for some short term parking spaces on
College Street at Van Buren, in order to serve our
and other commercial interests located in this area.
That was accomplished by the installation of a num-
ber of parking meters in the area. Now these meters
have been removed in spite of the fact that the re-
quirement for them remains.
We therefore request that you reinstate sh
parking in this commercial area.
Cordially yours,

within a five (5) mile radius of the corporate limits of the cities of

of the passenger to show proof of senior citizen, handicapped, or dis-
abled status. A medicare card, Iowa City free bus pass, certification
of disability, or certification of age of 65 or over shall constitute
acceptable proof of eligibility.
III. Records

From: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance
Re: Proposed FY79 Budget Amendments - Receipts & Expenditures
Attached are documents pertaining to proposed revisions to the FY79
approved budget. They include a listing of proposed expenditure
adjustments, a listing of proposed receipt adjustments, a revised
financial summary for all City budgeted funds for FY79. The adjust-
ments for expenditures and receipts are divided into three basic groups -
encumbrances, carryovers, and amendments.
ENCUMBRANCES
Encumbrances consist of those items, both operating and capital, for which
funds have been obligated but not disbursed during FY78. As these
disbursements were subsequently made after year-end, the FY79 approved
budget must be adjusted in order to accurately reflect the FY79
expenditure levels. Accordingly, source of funding for these
expenditures will be primarily surplus fund balances generated during
FY78.
CARRYOVERS
Also included in the budget amendment proposal are adjustments for
carryover items which are defined as items not purchased in FY78 but are
deemed to be necessary for general operations. Additionally, capital
projects originally appropriated in FY78, but not completed or begun until
FY79 are considered to be carryover projects. As sources of funding had
already been identified in FY78, the funding of these expenditures are
from fund balances and carryover receipts sources.
AMENDMENTS
Additional operating expenditures or commitments have been discovered
which were not anticipated during the FY79 budget process. For purposes
of discussion, these items are classified as proposed amendments or
additions to the FY79 budget. These expenditure amendments have not been
included in the previous budget appropriation.
In order to officially amend a City budget, sou%_s of revenue or funding
must be identified for all proposed expenditures. As stated in the Code
of Iowa, Chapter 384.18, purposes for which a current fiscal year budget
may be amended are the following:
1) to permit the appropriation and expenditure of unexpended
unencumbered cash balances on hand at the end of the preceeding
fiscal year which had not been anticipated in the budget.

MEMO
CITY COUNCIL/CITY MANAGER

2) to permit the appropriation and expenditure of amounts antici-
pated to be available from sources other than property taxation
and which had not been anticipated in the budget.
i 3) to permit transfers from Debt Service Fund to Capital
i. Improvement Reserve Fund, the emergency fund, or other funds
established by State Law to any other City fund, unless
specifically prohibited by State law.
4) to permit transfers between programs within the General Fund.
j This budget amendment proposal utilizes fund balances and unanticipated
receipts as stated on the proposed listing of adjustments to the FY79
budget.
Encumbrances will derive their source of funding from surplus fund
balances, generated by receipts not utilized during the past fiscal
I period. Carryover items would also utilize fund balances or require
receipt carryover amendments, i.e. the application of Road Use Tax and
General Revenue Sharing funds.
The approved budget for FY79 estimated an ending balance in the General
Fund of $777,688. However, the revised budget for FY79 shows an estimated
ending balance of $887,900, an increase of $110,212. This increase is due
to the combination of unanticipated revenue and a larger beginning balance
j than expected.
Publications of the required financial documents were submitted to the
Iowa City Press -Citizen on March 13 for publication that week. The public
hearing is scheduled for March 20, with Council action regarding these
proposed budget amendments to occur on March 27, 1979. Additional
detailed information is available in the Department of Finance if you have
any questions regarding the proposed budget amendments.

From: Dave Daley, Equipment Superintendent
Re: Equipment Division Staffing
The reorganization plan described herein is intended to accomplish the
three goals listed below without increasing staff or personnel cost.
1. Compensate the general equipment garage for the permanent transfer
of a mechanic to bus maintenance. This transfer was made in early
January.
2. Increase the number of "wrench turners" without increasing staff.
3. Make our mechanic pay scales more competitive.
We discovered this winter that our structure was not adequate for simul-
taneous support of our three highest priorities: snow removal, bus
maintenance, and regular preventive maintenance inspections. What we
allowed to slip was the regular preventive maintenance schedule because
we simply did not have the people to do the inspections. This is not
wise from a long range point of view, but it did manage to keep the snow
plows and buses on the street.
We also discovered that our Maintenance Worker I's were of little use,
since they do not possess the technical skill to be of much value in
repair situations. What this proposal consists of is the elimination of
one of these positions and the use of the funding to upgrade other
positions in the division.
You have already approved in the FY80 budget an additional Mechanic I,
since we will be taking over maintenance of all Parks equipment and most
of the Police fleet in July. When you approve this reorganization,
we will effectively have two more repair technicians while maintaining
the same 14 person staff level that we have now.

I am also asking for authority to implement this plan immediately for
the following reasons;
1. One of our Mechanic I's resigned recently and unless we upgrade the
transit positions now and make transit a separate "career track" we
will be faced with the possibility of promoting an experienced
transit maintenance worker into the vacant mechanic slot at the
Service Building; thereby losing a very valuable employee whose
knowledge is most needed in bus maintenance.
2. With the reorganization two more positions will be put on the night
shift where we are quite far behind on monthly preventive maintenance
services.
3. There would be no need for any layoffs since one Maintenance Worker I
position is now vacant and the other will be handled through normal
attrition.

CITY CLERK
Dear Mr. Berlin
This letter is in response to your letter of February 6 regarding clarification
of several matters on the Iowa City CATV franchise. Apparently due to winter
1 weather, I did not receive your letter until February 14; I apologize for the
delays. I will provide a response in approximately the same format as was
i
contained in your letter,
Single -Tier Service
j We believe the intent of the ordinance requirement for carriage of certain
programs on the first 12 channels is to ensure that if a two-tier service is
offered, certain services will be available to subscribers on both tiers. We
did not propose a two-tier service for City residents. Our proposal to the
University also was only single -tier service. It is possible the University
may decide to request two-tier service, but they have not yet done so. The
programming line-up which we have proposed would, in our opinion, maximize
the value of a 12 -channel system on the University. However, we understand
that the University and the City may not agree with our value judgments.
Accordingly, if the University decides to install 12 -channel service, we will
work with both the University and the City to arrive at a mutually agreeable
programming line-up. We believe that such a line-up might not necessarily be
that which is envisioned in the ordinance, or that which is provided in our
proposal. If necessary, we will provide up to $5,000 for signal processing
equipment at the University headend to permit limited reprocessing of signals
to deliver a channel line-up for the University slightly different from the
City line-up.
Listing of Services
As noted above, we have proposed a single -tier service at this time. Vie have
enclosed a photocopy of our proposal Form K, page 6, which lists the program-
ming services to be offered.
"X" -rated movies
ATC/Hawkeye will not purchase, or otherwise obtain, via Home Box Office or
independently, any film or videotape carrying an HPAA "X" rating. We will not

Mr. Neal Berlin - 2 - 9126
February 26, 1979
condone the display of obscene material on any channel, and will comply with
all FCC regulations on program content. The problem of censorship on the
access channels must be discussed promptly by the Broadband Telecommunications
Commission.
Special Services
A. C -Span coverage will be provided on initial activation, assuming it is
available via satellite. Present plans call for C -Span to be distributed
beginning in spring, 1979.
B. Talking Books. This is a special FM radio service provided by others in
the Iowa City area. Non -cabled home listeners must purchase a special FM
decoder. For our service, we will provide the decoder at our headend, and
will carry the programming as audio on channel 1. This service will be
provided at initial activation on the same basis as it is available to all
other users in Iowa City.
1 C. Foreign Language Programming. The proposal narrative, Form J, page 10,
states that we will obtain tapes of foreign language programming for display
on the local origination channel, or on channel 25. This service will be
available at approximately the same time as local origination commences. It
is not now feasible to provide satellite delivery of foreign language program-
ming. We would need to install a second earth station, and there would be
an additional monthly fee of about 11Q per subscriber to purchase foreign
language programming. At such time as satellite delivery of foreign language
programming becomes less expensive, or we are permitted a compensatory rate
increase by the City, we would be able to provide additional foreign language
jj programming.
D. Medical Services. The narrative, Form J, page 11, indicates that the
j medical programming channel will be a joint venture between Hawkeye and the
University hospitals and the Iowa City medical community. After our local
origination director is on site, and has established the basic access/
origination program, he will devote a substantial portion of his time to
developing the medical programming joint venture. The channel will be
available for use from system activation, but we do not anticipate that
there will be substantial medical programming on the channel for several
months.
E. Calliope. In the proposal, and during hearings, we indicated we would
carry children's programming from initial activation. In recent weeks, we
have learned that a new service, Nickelodeon, may be a source of superior
childrens' programming. If that is so, we will provide Nickelodeon in lieu
of Calliope. Nonetheless, childrens' programming will be available from
activation.
Program Revisions
There are two types of programming decisions which must be discussed. First,
changes to the proposal channel line-up, and second, changes to the special
satellite programming and videotape material which we indicated would be
carried on our local origination channel.

F the programming offered, scheduling, and the terms and conditions under
rich we would be prepared to offer the proposed new services.
ie proposal lists several satellite programming services which we intend to
irry on the local origination channel, or additional channels as necessary.
At presentthese categories include sports (Madison Square Garden), congress-
ional cover, age (C -Span), and childrens' programming (Calliope). Because the
variety of programming in these categories is changing rapidly, and because
additional categories of programming are expected in the coming months, we
must retain the flexibility to substitute equal or better programming in all
of the above categories, and to add new categories at our option. You will
recall that our proposal was written in such a fashion as to give us this
flexibility. Nonetheless, the specific categories of satellite services
mentioned above will be provided on our local origination channel for as long
as they are available via satellite. In considering changes to programming
in any category, we will obviously review programming content, scheduling,
and cost. We continue to feel that marketplace demand for services, and the
prospect of selling additional subscribers with added programming, will remain
i the best method of ensuring that we offer quality satellite programming
services on our local origination channel.
Two -Way Capacity
Our proposal indicated that we would activate reverse capacity from subscriber
drops when feasible. This reverse capacity will be used to operate feasible

experiment the technical and economic viability of these servces. These
experiments may be conducted in other markets, or in Iowa City. Technical
feasibility of these new services will have to be established as they are
developed, but would generally be considered to have been proven once the
system operates successfully for a period of one or two years without continu-
ing technical changes. Economic feasibility would be determined by the ability
of the business to return a 13% to 17% return on our equity investment. Return
on equity is obviously a function of subscriber levels, capital costs, and
operating expenses. The experimental projects which we will undertake will
also be designed to collect data on these factors. Unless a new service is
capable of returning at least a M -17o return on equity, either other sub-
scribers or Hawkeye would be giving a "subsidy" to recipients of the new
service. Such a situation would not be equitable to either the other sub-
scribers, or to Hawkeye. The final decision to activate a new two-way
business rests solely with Hawkeye.

Additional Origination Points
Our proposal, narrative Form J, page 19, indicated that additional bi-
directional capacity would be activated when live origination needs warrant
additional activation. We would be willing to activate reverse from addi-
tional school locations if the school location in question is able to
demonstrate that it has a viable live origination program. The program would
include formal commitment from some recognized source to fund and staff the
program for at least one year, and to provide origination equipment (unless
a suitable schedule can be worked out to use access equipment). The origination
program would have to be on a regular basis --at least twice per month --and a
reason for live origination would have to be established. For example, live
cablecasting of junior high school sports might be appropriate, but live cable -
casting of a "news magazine" show would not be appropriate. The latter could
be done easily on the same day or following day using videotape.
Bi-directional capacity from private facilities would have to be arranged
under the terms of a channel lease. Details would be worked out with the
prospective lessee.
Interim Facilities
I generally agree with the statement in your letter regarding interim facilities,
except for the sentence which reads, "It is the intent of the ordinance that
your offices be located in a central location and that the main access studio
be in a downtown location." The ordinance, section 14-67, provides only that
our offices and studios be located within the City limits. Ile did state in
our proposal, Form L, page 1, that the main local origination studio would be
in the library, or in our offices located near City center. We are attempting
to locate a combination office/studio facility in the downtown area, and are
seriously discussing at least one possible location. (I would prefer to not
name this location in correspondence which will be made available to the
public.) If we are successful, we will equip this studio with all the equip-
ment listed in Form L, page 1 and continuation. When the new library facility
is completed, this equipment will be transferred to the new library. The
studio equipment listed in Form L, page 3, may also be incorporated into our
interim studio. but in any event will be installed when the main studio gear
is moved to the library.
If we are unable to obtain a permanent combination office/studio in a conven-
ient downtown location, we will be forced to obtain an office location some-
where else inside the City limits. In that event, we would make all reasonable
efforts to locate an interim studio in a downtown location until the library
is ready, This studio would obtain the equipment listed on Form L, page 1.
The access equipment listed on Form L, page 3, would be set up in our office
facility, as listed in the proposal.
Matching Grants
The proposed starting dates which you outline in your letter are acceptable.
The Commission may select the starting date based on its own criteria. lie
ask only that the two years be contiguous.

Training and Promotion
In conversations during the hearings, the City indicated a desire to begin
access training as early as possible. I agreed to have the Local Origination
Director employed and working approximately 90 days prior to system activation,
and to have some portable gear available. The prime function of the Director
during this pre -activation period would be training, promotion, and organiza-
tion of the access/origination effort. I stand behind this commitment.
Program Advisory Group
Apparently there has been some misunderstanding

The company will administer the facilities and access channels as you outline,
in accordance with policies established by the program advisory group and
subject to the content of our proposal. In some cases, we may determine that
a program may be suitable for cablecasting on either an access channel or the
local origination channel. In that event, Hawkeye will seek the program
producer's permission to carry the programming on the origination channel, and
we will discuss directly with the producer how the programming would be carried.
Final choice would, of course, be the producer's.
Public Access Procedures
The main access/origination studio will be staffed 40 hours per week by
Hawkeye Cable Vision with the equivalent of three full-time people. Hours of
operation will be optimum with many evening and some weekend hours scheduled,
as mutually agreed upon by Hawkeye and users. Weekend work will, of course,
be subject to our ability to obtain staff willing to work on weekends at
normal rates. Free production assistance will be provided to public, educa-
tional and government users within the regular hours established provided
that no single user exceeds 40 hours equipment use in a given month, and
provided total assistance given is within our budgeted provision of three
full-time people. In the event of conflict in scheduling these resources,
the program advisory group will provide policy guidance. If usage by any
user is in excess of that mentioned previously, Hawkeye Cable Vision's rate
structure will then apply.
City Equipment
We will install a portable remote keyboard in the City Administration Build-
ing at approximately the time of system activation. Training and documenta-
tion will be provided. The emergency alert system as described in our
proposal, Form J, page 12, will also be installed and explained to the
appropriate City personnel at approximately the time of system activation.

Document Scanning
The document scanning equipment and a modulator will be installed in the old
library at approximately the time of system activation. The equipment will
be relocated to the new library at an appropriate time.
Library Access Facilities_
The statement in your letter regarding our relationship with the library is
essentially correct. I might add that we have agreed to wire desired library
drops to approximately 20 or 30 locations, provided we are given access to
open walls at an appropriate time, and provided we are able to use standard
CAN construction practices in the wiring of such drops. If the architect or
Iowa City building codes impose additional burdensome or expensive construction
practices, we will be forced to limit our provision of prewiring. However, we
anticipate being able to work out this problem with the library in the coming
weeks.
Other Communities
We anticipate offering the same services to the residents of Coralville and
University Heights as we will be offering in Iowa City. The details of the
franchise ordinance have not yet been worked out with these jurisdictions.
We will be operating an integral system, and at this time do not intend to
allocate costs or establish differential rates for basic services in each
individual city. The greater the number of subscribers involved in sharing
the cost of shared facilities, the lower the rates for all.
We do not believe that nonresidents can be barred from the company's access
studio. This facility will be owned and operated at Hawkeye s expense.
There is no cost to the City for this facility, and no reimbursement is
necessary. As long as the access needs of Iowa City residents are met, it
is not proper to prohibit outside users. Indeed, FCC regulations do not
permit us to discriminate on any basis with respect to access use.
j We recognize that the library studio is somewhat different from our studio
because the library is providing us building space in exchange for several
thousand dollars of internal wiring, equipment, etc. However, we do not
think the City should restrict nonresident usage, or force Hawkeye to collect
a "tax" for such use. Nonresidents can already use the library on a walk-in
basis; we believe access to the studio should be similar, as long as Iowa City
residents have sufficient use of the facilities to fulfill their production
needs. Certainly the occasional nonresident user will not create additional
costs to the City, although Hawkeye will incur some costs. Since the City
would not likely restrict distinguished programmers from out-of-state, we do
not think nearby programming sources can be arbitrarily restricted.
We are aware of the long-standing problems of shared services in the metro-
politan area. However, we want to point out that use of studio facilities is
substantially different from use of, for example, a tennis court. 11 -le own and
operate the studios and there is no cost to the City or residents, assuming

subscriber charges are uniform. All residents benefit from programs produced
by outside residents. In the case of a tennis court, Iowa City bears the cost,
and does not benefit from nonresident use. Cablecasting is an opportunity to
bring the community together, and we hope that the metropolitan area is able
to use it accordingly to solve area -wide problems. Any restriction on non-
resident use may deprive the area of valuable programming resources.

This letter is in response to your letter of February 6 regarding clarification
of several matters on the Iowa City CATV franchise. Apparently due to winter
weather, I did not receive your letter until February 14; I apologize for the
delays. I will provide a response in approximately the same format as was
contained in your letter.
Single -Tier Service
We believe the intent of the ordinance requirement for carriage of certain
programs on the first 12 channels is to ensure that if a two-tier service is
offered, certain services will be available to subscribers on both tiers. We
did not propose a two-tier service for City residents. Our proposal to the
University also was only single -tier service. It is possible the University
may decide to request two-tier service, but they have not yet done so. The
programming line-up which we have proposed would, in our opinion, maximize
the value of a 12 -channel system on the University. However, we understand
that the University and the City may not agree with our value judgments.
Accordingly, if the University decides to install 12 -channel service, we will
work with both the University and the City to arrive at a mutually agreeable
programming line-up. We believe that such a line-up might not necessarily be
that which is envisioned in the ordinance, or that which is provided in our
proposal. If necessary, we will provide up to $5,000 for signal processing
equipment at the University headend to permit limited reprocessing of signals
to deliver a channel line-up for the University slightly different from the
City line-up.
Listing of Services
As noted above, we have proposed a single -tier service at this time. He have
enclosed a photocopy of our proposal Form K, page 6, which lists the program-
ming services to be offered.

condone the display of obscene material on any channel, and will comply with
all FCC regulations on program content. The problem of censorship on the
access channels must be discussed promptly by the Broadband Telecommunications
Commission.
Special Services
A. C -Span coverage will be provided on initial activation, assuming it is
available via satellite. Present plans call for C -Span to be distributed
beginning in spring, 1979.
B. Talking Books. This is a special FM radio service provided by others in
the Iowa City area. Non -cabled home listeners must purchase a special FM
decoder. For our service, we will provide the decoder at our headend, and
will carry the programming as audio on channel 1. This service will be
provided at initial activation on the same basis as it is available to all
other users in Iowa City.
C. Foreign Language Programming. The proposal narrative, Form J, page 10,
states that we will obtain tapes of foreign language programming for display
on the local origination channel, or on channel 25. This service will be
1 available at approximately the same time as local origination commences. It
is not now feasible to provide satellite delivery of foreign language program-
ming. We would need to install a second earth station, and there would be
an additional monthly fee of about 11th per subscriber to purchase foreign
language programming. At such time as satellite delivery of foreign language
programming becomes less expensive, or we are permitted a compensatory rate
increase by the City, we would be able to provide additional foreign language
programming.
D. Medical Services. The narrative, Form J, page 11, indicates that the
medical programming channel will be a joint venture between Hawkeye and the
University hospitals and the Iowa City medical community. After our local
origination director is on site, and has established the basic access/
origination program, he will devote a substantial portion of his time to
developing the medical programming joint venture. The channel will be
available for use from system activation, but we do not anticipate that
there will be substantial medical programming on the channel for several
months.
E. Calliope. In the proposal, and during hearings, we indicated we would
carry children's programming from initial activation. In recent weeks, we
have learned that a new service, Nickelodeon, may be a source of superior
childrens' programming. If that is so, we will provide Nickelodeon in lieu
of Calliope. Nonetheless, childrens' programming will be available from
activation.
Program Revisions
There are two types of programming decisions which must be discussed. First,
changes to the proposal channel line-up, and second, changes to the special
satellite programming and videotape material which we indicated would be
carried on our local origination channel.
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES
Mr. Heal Berlin - 3 - 9126
February 26, 1979
As required by the ordinance, we will not make any changes to the services
listed in our proposal, Form K, without prior consent of the City. As we
learn of new programming possibilities, they will be discussed with the
Broadband Telecommunications Commission. The discussion would include content
of the programming offered, scheduling, and the terms and conditions under
which vie would be prepared to offer the proposed new services.
The proposal lists several satellite programming services which we intend to
carry on the local origination channel, or additional channels as necessary.
At present, these categories include sports (Madison Square Garden), congress-
ional coverage (C -Span), and childrens' programming (Calliope). Because the
variety of programming in these categories is changing rapidly, and because
additional categories of programming are expected in the coming months, we
must retain the flexibility to substitute equal or better programming in all
of the above categories, and to add new categories at our option. You will
recall that our proposal was written in such a fashion as to give us this
flexibility. Nonetheless, the specific categories of satellite services
mentioned above will be provided on our local origination channel for as long
as they are available via satellite. In considering changes to programming
in any category, we will obviously review programming content, scheduling,
and cost. We continue to feel that marketplace demand for services, and the
prospect of selling additional subscribers with added programming, will remain
the best method of ensuring that we offer quality satellite programming
services on our local origination channel.
Two -Way Capacity
Our proposal indicated that we would activate reverse capacity from subscriber
drops when feasible. This reverse capacity will be used to operate feasible
"two-way" businesses such as home security or data communications. Before we
are prepared to offer such new services in Iowa City, we will prove through
experiment the technical and economic viability of these services. These
experiments nay be conducted in other markets, or in Iowa City. Technical
feasibility of these new services will have to be established as they are
developed, but would generally be considered to have been proven once the
system operates successfully for a period of one or two years without continu-
ing technical changes. Economic feasibility would be determined by the ability
of the business to return a 13% to 17% return on our equity investment. Return
on equity is obviously a function of subscriber levels, capital costs, and
operating expenses. The experimental projects which we will undertake will
also be designed to collect data on these factors. Unless a new service is
capable of returning at least a 13%-17% return on equity, either other sub-
scribers or Hawkeye would be giving a "subsidy" to recipients of the new
service. Such a situation would not be equitable to either the other sub-
scribers, or to Hawkeye. The final decision to activate a new two-way
business rests solely with Hawkeye.
It is extremely difficult for us to discuss at this time exactly how we will
go about activating new two-way services in Iowa City. Obviously, though, if
there is a new business opportunity, we will want to offer the service as
broadly as possible. You should note that ATC moved rapidly to implement Pay
Television in all its markets as soon as the feasibility of this new business
was proven. The same will likely be true in future new businesses.

Additional Origination Points
Our proposal, narrative Form J, page 19, indicated that additional bi-
directional capacity would be activated when live origination needs warrant
additional activation. We would be willing to activate reverse from addi-
tional school locations if the school location in question is able to
demonstrate that it has a viable live origination program. The program would
include formal commitment from some recognized source to fund and staff the
program for at least one year, and to provide origination equipment (unless
a suitable schedule can be worked out to use access equipment). The origination
program would have to be on a regular basis --at least twice per month --and a
reason for live origination would have to be established. For example, live
cablecasting of junior high school sports might be appropriate, but live cable -
casting of a "news magazine" show would not be appropriate. The latter could
be done easily on the same day or following day using videotape.
i
Bi-directional capacity from private facilities would have to be arranged
under the terms of a channel lease. Details would be worked out with the
prospective lessee.
I
Interim Facilities
I generally agree with the statement in your letter regarding interim facilities,
except for the sentence which reads, "It is the intent of the ordinance that
your offices be located in a central location and that the main access studio
be in a downtown location." The ordinance, section 14-67, provides only that
our offices and studios be located within the City limits. We did state in
our proposal, Form L, page 1, that the main local origination studio would be
in the library, or in our offices located near City center. We are attempting
to locate a combination office/studio facility in the downtown area, and are
seriously discussing at least one possible location. (I would prefer to not
name this location in correspondence which will be made available to the
public.) If we are successful, we will equip this studio with all the equip-
ment listed in Form L, page i and continuation. When the new library facility
is completed, this equipment will be transferred to the new library. The
studio equipment listed in Form L, page 3, may also be incorporated into our
interim studio, but in any event will be installed when the main studio gear
is moved to the library.
If we are unable to obtain a permanent combination office/studio in a conven-
ient downtown location, we will be forced to obtain an office location some-
where else inside the City limits. In that event, we would make all reasonable
efforts to locate an interim studio in a downtown location until the library
is ready. This studio would obtain the equipment listed on Form L, page 1.
I The access equipment listed on Form L, page 3, would be set up in our office
facility, as listed in the proposal.
Matching Grants
The proposed starting dates which you outline in your letter are acceptable.
The Commission may select the starting date based on its own criteria. We
ask only that the two years be contiguous.

Training and Promotion
In conversations during the hearings, the City indicated a desire to begin
access training as early as possible. I agreed to have the Local Origination
Director employed and working approximately 90 days prior to system activation,
and to have some portable gear available. The prime function of the Director
during this pre -activation period would be training, promotion, and organiza-
tion of the access/origination effort. I stand behind this commitment.
Program Advisory Group

group to deal solely with the access programming

a program may be suitable for cablecasting on either an access channel or the
local origination channel. In that event, Hawkeye will seek the program
producer's permission to carry the programming on the origination channel, and
we will discuss directly with the producer how the programming would be carried.

Mr. Donald Sehr, Chairman
Johnson County Board of Supervisors
Johnson County Courthouse
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. Sehr:
1
1 During the past two years a great deal of attention has been directed
toward the concept of a joint effort by the City of Iowa City, Johnson
County, and United Way regarding the funding of Human Services agencies.
The City Council has supported this concept from the beginning and we
feel it would be of great benefit to all citizens of this area to see
I their tax dollars used as efficiently and effectively as possible in
satisfying human service needs. We are convinced that a well integrated
joint effort is the best of all possible methods of achieving that goal.
i J
i The Johnson County Regional Planning Commission staff has prepared a
plan in which contributions by the City of Iowa City, Johnson County,
United Way, and JCRPC all contribute to a joint planning effort. We
feel that this plan is a sound one with considerable potential for
alleviating many of the past problems we have encountered during the
decision making process regarding Human Services funding.
At our informal meeting of March 12, 1979 the City Council agreed that
we would support the plan. With the proper funding and administrative
effort, this program should prove to be of great value to the citizens
of the entire county. We strongly urge that the Johnson County Board of
Supervisors join with the City, United Way and JCRPC in supporting this
program.
Sincerely yours,
, Robert A. Vevera'��

MEMORAND"M
Date: March 16, 1979
To: All Department Heads
From: CitWer
Re: Written Evaluations
As we discussed several weeks ago, my evaluation of department heads
this year will be based partly upon a written assessment which will
be prepared by you. I have enclosed as a guide for this process the
personal evaluation form which is to be completed by each of you.
In addition prepare a memorandum which discusses:
1. Your accomplishments this past year.
2. The accomplishments which you will be seeking to achieve this
coming year.
3. Your interpersonal skills (both positive and negative
characteristics).
4. Problem areas which you plan to work on in the coming year.
Items one and two, above, should relate to the operation of your
department (efficiency and effectiveness) and should not be a
discussion of specific work projects. Item four may include a
discussion of both projects and department operations.
After review of these materials I will discuss them with you in
detail. From this discussion, we will jointly develop a performance
contract for the coming year. Upon completion of the performance
contract we will review salary adjustments. I would appreciate
having all information no later than April 15.

Re: Non -ERA Travel
Two requests have recently been reviewed for travel to non -ERA
states.
The annual workshop of Institutional and Municipal Parking Congress
is being held in Hollywood, Florida, from April 8-11. This program
provides much information which would be relevant to the Iowa City
Parking Systems since we will soon be using parking ramps. The
opportunity to review equipment and exchange ideas is very
informative and educational. It is believed that this workshop would
provide Mr. Fowler with much additional expertise. We are aware of
no other opportunity to obtain this information in the current
calendar year. Unless the Council makes an exception to the policy,
Mr. Fowler would not be able to avail himself of this information
this year. A copy of the program is included.
The other request is for the Midwest Symposium on Therapeautic
Recreation to be held in Rock Island, Illinois. Janet Lown, our SPI
director, wishes to attend this meeting. The program is coordinated
by the University of Missouri and sponsored by 12 states. A copy of
the program is enclosed.

Re: The Attached List of Calendar Street Parking Proposals
i
The attached list of streets and block numbers were originally
submitted to Council to show those residential streets which had been
selected for calendar parking and those through streets upon which
the 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday thru Friday prohibition was to be added.
The attached list has been modified to reflect either changes
directed by Council or recommendations where the existing
j prohibitions are more satisfactory. In general, if a block number is
i I lined out, this indicates the presence of either a school, a hospital
or a park where existing prohibitions are perhaps more suitable than
the proposed calendar parking prohibitions. This list will be useful
in Monday's discussion of calendar parking.

Date: March 15, 1979
To: Neal Berlin and City Council
From: Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works
Re: Parking Decisions to be Made 3/19/79
Listed below are questions Council needs to answer. I have also listed
the opinions of Jim Brachtel and myself.
1. QUESTION: Present regulations provide no parking 8 A.M. to 11 P.M.
seven days a week. Should the days and hours be changed?
COMMENT: Leave the regulations in effect from 8 A.M. to 11 P.M.
seven days a week, but exempt Sunday from,8 A.M. to 1 P.M. within one
block of any church.
One of the major purposes of calendar parking is to prohibit long
term storage. If we were to change the regulations to be in effect
from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. as some have proposed, this would allow a car to
remain parked for 39 hours without moving. It would also allow
parking on both sides of the street at the time of peak evening
traffic congestion, that is, just after 5 P.M.
Many streets are too narrow to allow parking on both sides for any
length of time. On these streets (for example Davenport Street),
parking would have to be prohibited on one side all the time as it
was previously..—.
Many callers say they move their car at 11:00 P. M., not because they
don't understand the sign, but to "beat" others to the other side of
the street. The intent of the 11:00 P.M. time was to discourage this
type of behavior. It would be desirable to have cars parked on only
one side of the street all through the night. This can be promoted
by changing the hour to midnight or rigorously enforcing the
prohibitions late at night or both.
2. QUESTION: How should funeral parking around churches be handled?
COMMENT: Funeral directors should be in charge of calling the Police
Department to inform them that a funeral will take place. The
funeral director should then be in charge of installing City -
approved signs on a temporary basis that would have a message:
"Funeral Parking Only". These signs would be installed on the side
of the street where parking would normally be prohibited that day.
The funeral director would also be in charge of removing the signs
after the funeral.

3. QUESTION: Should the parking program include all of the area from
the Iowa River to Seventh Avenue and from Brown Street to Highway 6
or should it be reduced or expanded in size?
COMMENT: The program should include the original area. While some
of the streets presently do not need the signing there will be "spill
over" from other areas unless the entire area is signed. We feel
that the boundaries are far enough out so that spill over will be
minimized beyond the boundaries.
4. QUESTION: How should mid -week meetings at churches be handled?
COMMENT: No special exemption should be made. These meetings are
similar to any other activity.
i
j 5. QUESTION: Should there be any changes in the 8 A.M. to 5 P.M.
parking prohibitions on streets which have "No Parking Any Time" on
the opposite side?
COMMENT: ' We would suggest removing the 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. parking
1 prohibitions on Market Street between Clapp and Evans; Jefferson
between Gilbert and Evans; and Dodge from Burlington to Bowery. We
would suggest adding No Parking Anytime 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. on the north
side of Bowery from Dodge to Van Buren and No Parking Anytime from
Van Buren to Gilbert.
On an street with the 8 A.M. to 5 P.M.
q y prohibition, the hours really
should be 7 A.M. to 6 P.M. to accommodate peak hour traffic.
However, on these streets there would then be no parking at all
between 7 A.M. and 6 P.M. anywhere on the street; therefore 8 A.M. to
y 5 P.M. seems to be a reasonable compromise. (Keep in mind _that--
streets
hat__streets with calendar parking always have parking allowed on one side
of the street and between 11 P.M. and 8 A.M., parking is allowed on
both sides.)
6. QUESTION: Should parking be allowed on both sides of College,
�i
E. Washington and E. Iowa?
COMMENT: No. There is no difference between these streets and any
other street in town in regard to calendar parking. One of the major
purposes of calendar parking is to prohibit long-term storage of
vehicles. In addition, College Street is a bus route and has been
aided greatly by removal of parking on one side.
It is clear that anyone who has their personal parking space affected is
going to be unhappy about any type of restriction on their parking habits.
Any change in anyone's habits creates controversy and disruption.
Compromises in this program now will provide less incentive to seek
alternate solutions such as forcing landlords to construct off-street
parking, leaving cars in long-term storage lots, using parking spaces off
the alleys, etc.

The transition period after a change is always difficult, but in this
case, the benefits will be worth it. For years, the City and its citizens
have grappled with the parking problem, but no action has ever been taken.
Finally, a solution is being implemented. This solution, or any other
real solution, will always be opposed by some group for some reason. If
Council can hold firm, people will adjust.

To: Neal Berlin and City Council
From: Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works
Re: 1. Council Referrals - Policy for Senior itizens Regarding
Assistance in Carrying Out Cans, 2. Location of Containers
1. At the present time we do provide carry -out service for handicapped
citizens. We do not provide special service for a citizen just
because they are a senior citizen. At the present time we have
about 80 to 100 carry -outs of this nature. We would like to keep
this to a minimum.
When considering this matter keep in mind that a large portion of
the town has had refuse picked up at the street curb for several
years. It is only in the areas of town with alleys that we have
made a switch. There have been no unusual problems with senior or
handicapped citizens carrying out containers in the newer portions
of town and we do not anticipate unusual problems in the interior
area. If a handicapped citizen needs assistance we will provide
that assistance.
2. Council had also wished to know where garbage cans 'should be kept
on the property. The ordinance provides that containers be re-
turned to a place as near as reasonably possible to the side or
back of any permanent building on the property.

Re: Rubber-tired R 11 r
1 The City currently rents a rubber-tired roller to compact gravel on
` streets and alleys prior to sealing them with oil. The rubber-tired
roller is also used on alleys after the application of rock to tie the
material tightly together.
We have been renting a roller and the dealer advises us that 85 percent of
the rental cost can go toward purchase price. By the end of the summer we
will have paid for the roller. 'It is our recommendation that we go ahead
and purchase this roller immediately instead of having only 85 percent of
the rental charges applied toward the purchase.
For the long-term we will need a roller. Anew roller costs approximately
$19,000 to $22,000 and this roller is available for an additional $4,390
1 at this point in time. The machine will need a few thousand dollars worth
of repairs to make it suitable for the next ten to twenty years. This
seems a desirable alternative.
i
Unless Council advises otherwise, we will proceed ahead with the immediate
purchase of this vehicle.

Re: Termination of Alley Garbage Pickup
Public Works would recommend that we continue with our present policy of
picking up garbage only on the street curb. This should be done for the
following reasons:
1. It allows the City to provide year around service during the snows
of winter and the mud of spring and summer. Although the City will
be plowing alleys in the future as a result of calendar parking,
alleys are at the bottom of the priority list and it may be two or
three days until they are plowed after a severe snowstorm. By
continuing garbage pickup at the street curb we can provide the
best service for garbage pickup.
2. There seems little reason to continue alley pickup. Street pickup
has been the normal routine throughout much of the community for
years and it works well. There is not a great deal more effort
involved in bringing containers to the street curb than in taking
many smaller containers to the alley.
Surprisingly, some people still report that they are taking many
small containers to the alley and then lugging the cans from the
alley out to the street curb. This is extra work. It would be
advantageous to put cans near the house and then carry them out to
the street once per week.
3. Street curb pickup does provide more efficient pickup. We do not
have to fight parked cars, tree limbs, and other types of obstructioi
in alleys and we are able to complete the routes faster and at
lower cost.
4. Some citizens react adversely to any change. A few years ago, the
route boundaries were changed so some Thursday pickups were done on
Monday. Although the news media advertised these changes, these
citizens were very irate because there had been a change. There
was no difference in the basic service, but a routine was modified.
The same situation applies to alley pickup. Much of the City has
had curb pickup for years, but for those with alleys, this is a
change. In a few weeks, habits will change and the matter will be
forgotten.
5. Handicapped who really cannot handle a plastic bag or a can will be
provided with carry out service. This has been our policy for
years.

RE: UMTA SECTION 18 GRANT POSSIBILITIES
On Tuesday, March 13, I met with Riaz Chaudry, the IDOT
Public Transit Division regional manager for this area.
He told me that it appeared likely that we would get
UMTA assistance in our present grant application through a
combination of Section 3 (Capital Projects) and Section 18
(Rural/Small Urban) funds. Federal review of the application
should be finished by the end of June.
Chaudry also strongly encouraged the City to apply for
additional Section 18 funds to finance the acquisition of
two-way radios, bus stop signs, and passenger shelters.
These projects were originally scheduled for inclusion in
the Section 3 grant, but on the advice of UMTA officials were
deleted.
There is no separate "application" for Section 18 fed-
eral funds; like the State assistance program, the Regional
Transit Development Program (RTDP) will serve as the
information source.
City Council discussed and approved the purchase of
these capital items at the time the FY78 and FY79 State
transit assistance grants were applied for. Therefore,
unless directed otherwise, the Iowa City portion of the RTDP
will be written to include their acquisition under the new
Section 18 program.
Cost estimates are as follows:
ITEM COST
Local State Federal ' Total
1. Two-way Radios $3,620 $3,620 $28,960 , $36,200
(22 bus, 2 auto, 1 base)
2. Bus Stop Signs $2,025 $2,025 $16,200 , $20,250
(750 each, installed)
,
3. Passenger Shelters $2,400 $2,400 $19,200 $24,000
(20 each, installed) ,
TOTAL $8,025** $8,045* $64,360 ' $84,450
* Adequate funds for these projects already committed by State in
FY78 and FY79 Transit assistance grants

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Angela Ryan, Assistant City Attorney
Re: LSNRD Plan for ACT
Several staff members have been involved in the discussion regarding the
access to the proposed site for ACT. I have reviewed the dedication
which was signed by three of the four property owners in 1970. Since
the last signature was never obtained and the City did not accept the
dedication, I don't believe that it is presently a City street. Jim
Shive contacted Mr. Muller of Howard Johnson's on March 13, 1979, and he
stated that Howard Johnson's is opposed to any island because it will
make access to the parking lot more difficult for Greyhound buses and
semis. Mr. Shive has offered to pay $2,000 to provide the island on
Howard Johnson's property.
Under these circumstances, I see the following alternatives:
1. The City can deny the LSNRD plan if it feels that the access pro-
vided is unsafe. You may wish to consider the ramifications to the
City if ACT should construct this facility at alternate locations
within the City or elsewhere in the County.
2. The City can approve the LSNRD plan, accept the $2,000 from ACT and
Shive-Hattery for the improvements and condemn the street. Based
upon the appraisal of Amherst Street last summer, I believe the
cost will be a minimum of $10,000. Jim Shive has expressed an un-
willingness to assume this cost.
3. The City can approve the LSNRD plan, permit the street to remain a
private street and allow the property owners to make their own
provisions for improvements. This alternative should be premised
upon a finding that the proposed access is safe, although less than
ideal.
If you have further questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

Dear Mike:
Attached is a copy of the memorandum I have sent to Jerald Smithey,
Chairperson of the Iowa City Housing Commission. I am very much aware
of the concerns that you and Mr. Smithey have concerning the backlog of
cases in the housing enforcement area. Unfortunately, as I indicated, I
do not see any relief in the near term. We can certainly try to handle
particularly high priority cases on an ad hoc basis. However, until we
are full-time staff it will be difficult to really assess whether we can
provide the necessary service with our present authorized staffing
level.
Obviously at some point it may be necessary to expand the Legal Department
staff. However, as I mentioned to Mr. Smithey my impression is that the
Council would not be receptive to this at this point in time. I think
we are going to have to wait and see what kind of service we are able to
provide after we are at full authorized staffing levels.
In the meantime, however, as I suggested to Mr. Smithey, please do not
hesitate to bring to my attention cases which you think ought to have
particular priority. We will do our best to handle those for you.
John Hayek.

From: John Hayek, City Attorney
Dear Mr. Smithey:
Thank you for your memorandum of January 31. 1 am very much aware of
the heavy backlog of legal matters now pending in the Legal Department.
Unfortunately, I do not see the backlog easing in the near future. The
demands placed upon Legal Department personnel have been extremely heavy
and as you know we are still short-handed by one person. I do hope to
be adding another attorney to our staff within the next few months and
this should help us in getting the work turned out. However, as I
indicated, I do not see this as providing relief in the near future.
In your memorandum you indicate the possibility of CBDG money being
available. My own impression is that the City Council would be reluctant
at this point to expand the Legal Department by adding another attorney.
I would hesitate to make that request to them unless it appears that
over the long -run there is a significant shortfall in our ability to
provide service. If that would be the case, I would certainly want to
visit with you and with the other staff persons involved to discuss your
suggestion further.
In the meantime, may I suggest that if there are particular cases which
you, the Commission, or Mr. Kucharzak regard as particularly important
that you bring those to my attention and I will do my best to see to it
that they are handled as expeditiously as possible.

Re: Legal Backlog
I have received a copy of your response to Jerald Smithey, Chairperson
of the Housing Commission, along with a memo to myself indicating your
response to our joint request for assistance in reducing the backlog of
matters requiring legal attention. My position is that every item we
send to Legal requiring charges being filed or the need for a written
legal interpretation of the code are important. I further do not feel I
can determine which is more important than the next since I don't know
in which particular building a citizen will become injured and sue the
City for failure to actively pursue enforcement, nor can I determine
whether the fact that we are not issuing any rental permits for rooming
houses in apartment buildings is any more important than a citizen who
is awaiting a legal interpretation prior to obtaining a building permit.
I am sympathetic to your administrative problems. However, let me share
some of mine; cases awaiting legal action involve several witnesses that
either are no longer with the City or will be leaving shortly. They
are: Robert Edberg, who was terminated; Bruce Burke, who has submitted
his resignation; Charles Calef, who has submitted his resignation; and
Phyllis Kelley, who has been offerred a job and plans to terminate
employment with the City. My concerns for support are predicated on
part by these changing personnel matters and are compounded by the fact
that we soon see approximately 30 additional charges to be filed for
operating rental property without a valid permit.
I submit that although your problems appear to have a solution, that the
record of cases pending legal action indicate a rather long period of
neglect that will only become compounded as our department becomes
better organized and more efficient in the delivery of enforcement
services.

Re: Proposed Code Changes to Housing Occupancy & Maintenance Code
Attached please find a memorandum suggesting a variety of Code changes to
the Housing Code proposed by the staff and incorporating suggested changes
of the Board of Appeals and the Board of Housing Appeals. The memorandum
has been reviewed by the Housing Commission and has received their
support.
Although the number of proposed changes seems lengthy, some of them are of
a housekeeping nature and deal with correcting problems of spelling or
punctuation or clarification of language in the Code, others are changes
in licensing such as the section on second class dwellings, and still
others are suggested changes for consideration that deal with state law.
During the informal Council session the director will attempt to focus
discussion on Code changes that are not "housekeeping" but are rather
proposed changes that either establish new licensing procedures or impact
upon state law. Hopefully, the staff will receive sufficient guidance
from the Council to prepare a final recommendation of Code changes for
action.
Since May 19, 1978, the staff has had considerable experience in inspec-
tion and routine enforcement of the Code and has found that the majority
of the Code works well and is well received by citizens. We have not had a
chance to test the Code in court, and well may be going into a major Code
revision without benefit of a court test.

To: Neal Berlin and City Council
From: Michael Kucharzak, Director, Housing & Inspection Services
Re: Home Winterization and Emergency Repair Grant Program
The Housing Commission, during their meeting of March 7, 1979, suggested
that the Home Winterization and Emergency Grant program as developed by
the staff following the meeting with the task force be amended to allow
people less than 63 to participate in the program.
Attached you will find a revised Chapter 4 for Council consideration.
The revisions contained therein would allow grants to be given to

City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 12 , 1979
TO: Neal Berlin, City Manager
FROM: Harvey D. Miller, Police Chief
RE: Statistical Report for February, 1979
Almost every complaint or request for police services
category declined in February, 1979. I attribute
this to the shorter month and the bitterly cold
weather. Regardless of that, a monthly decline of
608 requests for service is significant. On the
other hand arrests, citations, tickets, etc. increased
by nearly 800 during the same period of time indicat-
ing a continued high level of activity on the part of
the officers.
Of major significance was the decline in reports of
larceny theft; auto theft; offenses against family
and children; motor vehicle accidents; and parking
offenses within the city. I attribute the decline in
parking complaints to the much needed even/odd parking
arrangements in effect in much of the city. That
particular arrangement was long overdue in a community
of this size with the special vehicular parking and
movement problems apparent here.
Animal Control activities continued at the same pace
as the prior month. The Detective Division exper-
ienced a couple of coups in successful investigations
and arrests and handled more investigations than ever.
The new Animal Control van arrived in February and
was placed in service.
Five Police Officers graduated from the Iowa Police
Academy in February and have been assigned to regular
duties. Of special interest is the fact that Officer
Tom Widmer was elected President of the class and
Bruce Gantenbein elected Secretary. Iowa City
Officers walked away with most of the awards and
honors.
Statistical abstracts are attached.

Because you live or own property in the area that will be affected by
the projects proposed in the Small Cities Grant Preapplication, we feel
it is important that you are kept up-to-date on the status of the preappli-
cation and related matters of concern. This is the first of a series of
newsletters that we will be sending to you, which will help us keep in
touch throughout the planning and implementation processes.
This first newsletter reports on the current status of the Small Cities
Program, explains why the program was recently in the news, and announces
the appointment of a Small Cities Area Representative to the Committee
on Community Needs.
As further developments occur in the Small Cities Program, you and your
j neighbors may wish to get more involved in the planning and implementation
processes. We hope that you will. If so, we will gladly help organize.
and arrange for neighborhood meetings and meetings with City officials.
Meanwhile, we will keep you posted on the latest developments, and will
try to answer all your questions.

NEWSLETTER
for Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood
Status of Small Cities Program
The preapplication requesting funding for improvements, particularly
to the Ralston Creek Channel, in your neighborhood has been sent off
to HUD and we hope to hear from them early in April. As you know this
preapplication is competitive, however, if Iowa City is asked to
submit a full application in April our chances of funding are
excellent.
I Johnson County Regional Planning A-95 Review
You may have seen an article in the Iowa City Press -Citizen on
February 22, 1979 stating that the Johnson County Regional Planning
Commission had unanimously approved the City's preapplication for
funding under the Small Cities Program. The Department of Housing
! and Urban Development (HUD) requires that the local planning
agencies review all grant applications for Federal funds. The
! purpose of this review is to insure that proposed projects are
consistent with the overall plans for the area. The Commission
indicated that our proposals were supportive of regional plans and in
fact implemented the goals and objectives of Johnson County. This
positive review of the proposal by the Johnson County Regional
Planning Commission has now also been forwarded to HUD.
Appointment to CCN
On Tuesday, March 6, the Iowa City City Council appointed Ron Johnson
to the Committee on Community Needs (CCN). City Council members feel
that having a representative from the Small Cities Project Area on
the Committee is very important because the CCN is an advisory group
to the Council in matters relating to community development
projects. Ron Johnson, who owns property in the Small Cities area,
applied and was chosen to serve as your area spokesman on this
Committee.
The CCN meets on the first Wednesday of each month, during the noon
hour. Their meetings are held in the City Recreation Center, and are
open to the public.
Future Planning
If the City is successful and is asked to submit a full application,
a neighborhood group will be organized in your area to assist with
this application. As you know, to date final detailed plans for the
area have not yet been developed. We have not determined exactly how
and what channel and bridge improvements will be made to Ralston
Creek, nor do we know exactly which households or businesses need to
be relocated. You can be helpful in indentifying additional or
alternative improvements for the area.
Start thinking now - we will need your ideas - you know the problems
and solutions best!

The Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
Civic Center
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mayor Vevera and Council Members:
The residents of Governor Street between Bowery and Burlington
object to the recently instituted ban on parking on Governor Street
from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. weekdays, and an overwhelming majority have
signed petitions requesting an end to the ban. The petitions are
enclosed.
Though I do not represent any of the residents as their lawyer,
I have spoken with many of them and share their concerns. I believe
my views as expressed herein do represent the feelings of many of my
.d
neighbors.
It is my understanding that Mr. Plastino has recommended that
parking on Governor Street be returned to its previous status, i.e.,
no parking on the west side, unrestricted parking on the east side
of the street. I urge the Council to accept his recommendation.
'
In addition, I support the efforts of residents in other areas who
are requesting reconsideration of the parking restrictions affecting
c
them.
Adoption of the 8-5 ban. I believe this policy was put into
effect wit out full consideration of relevant factors, and without
adequate notice to the residents. The Press -Citizen reported that
public hearings would be held on the calen ar parting and snow
emergency ordinances, but it appears that the restrictions affecting
Governor Street and 20 other streets was a separate action taken
without an opportunity for citizens to express their views.
i{
Stated purposes of the policy.
Snow removal, Mr. Brachtel's memo of January 12, 1979,
lists snow removal as one reason for no parking 8-5 on the selected
streets. I submit that the restriction is much broader than neces-
sary to effect that purpose. The use of temporary no -parking
signs effectively facilitated snow removal from Governor Street.
Another less restrictive alternative could be a ban on parking
on designated snow emergency days, pursuant to the existing snow
emergency ordinance. My observation has been that few cars are
parked on the street during the day, and that snow plowing is

City Council -2- March 7, 1979
nearly always done late at night, after most of the cars have
returned. Certainly the need to remove snow several times a year
does not warrant a parking prohibition 260 days of the year.
Refuse collection was another reason cited by Mr. Brachtel
for the parking prohibition. This issue is closely related to
the recent decision to stop alley garbage pick-up- I strongly
protest this decision, and urge reconsideration. Assuming arguendo
that street collection of garbage is necessary, it again appears
that the ban is overly restrictive. The purpose could be adequately
served by 8-12 ban one day per week, for example. Since few cars
are parked on Governor Street during the day, however, I seriously
doubt that any additional action is really necessary to facilitate
refuse collection.
Street cleaning is also stated as a reason for the ban. In
the timeDave lived on Governor Street, I have never noticed
that lack of street cleaning was a serious problem, and I do not
believe it is a factor warranting such strong action against
street parking.
Storage parking on the street is another reason cited for 1
the necessity of this policy. I understand that the present
1 storage parking ordinance is enforced on a complaint -only basis ;
in most areas of the city. Regular enforcement of the ordinance
�i could result in less storage without causing hardship to other
residents. Certainly the residents of Governor Street complain
Of occasional inconvenience caused by long-term parking on the 1
street, but we are much more concerned about the hardship to our
ineighbors and ourselves caused by the parking ban.
Commuter Harkin♦ is not a problem on Governor Street, since
it is very unlikely that someone would drive into the area only
to walk eight blocks to the business district.
�- o�.==�b uus routes and heavil traveled streets were
mentioned in t e Press -Citizen article as targets for the -5 ban.
Governor fits none of these descriptions. It is a reasonably
wide, one-way street, and if there ever is heavy traffic, it is
not between 8 and 5 on weekdays. As a connection between Bowery
and Burlington, Governor does not carry a heavy volume of traffic
as do some others in the area.
Given the reasons stated, it appears that the parking pro-
hibition on this portion of Governor Street is unnecessary and
not desired. Furthermore, it is causing hardship to the residents,
I and our complaints are much the same as those of persons from
I other areas.
jLac], of alternate arkin s ace is the most obvious problem
caused by t e ban. A number of people have no off-street parking

' adjacent to our homes. Some of us have parking spaces off the
alley, but since the alleys have not been plowed, the spaces are
inaccessible. Some have driveways which are not always accessible
because they are at the top of icy hills or are shared by two
houses. Parking on other streets is little solution to those
whohave difficulty walking, and it aggravates the problem for
residents on those other streets.
Daytime visitors are discouraged by the parking ban. On
Governor Street there are several elderly or disabled persons
who require the aid of nurses, physical therapists and other
friendly visitors. These persons suffer immeasurably from the
parking ban.
Those of us who maintain homes have a variety of needs for
daytime visitors for furnace repair, carpet -laying, roofing,
i plumbing, and countless other jobs. The ban prevents service
people from approaching our homes during their regular business
hours.
jOther social visitors have difficulty as well: individual
! friends and church or civic groups meeting at a member's home on
an afternoon. Particularly affected are senior citizens and
handicapped persons who have difficulty getting out themselves,
!i and have special need for visitors. The effect of the parking
ban is to increase the social isolation of an already disadvantaged
group.
Ordinary errands are made extremely difficult by the parking
ban; it is impossible to park in front of our homes even to carry
j in sacks of groceries or small children.
Persons working shifts other than 8- are also inconvenienced.
For a woman returning home from wor at A.M. there is an unpleasant
choice: risking a frightening walk alone down a dark street if
she parks on a street with unrestricted parking, or interrupting
her sleep at 8 A.M. for the sole purpose of moving her car.
I
Contrary to sound energy policy favoring conservation, use
of buses and carpooling, the parking ban requires moving cars daily
at 8 A.M. whether necessary or not; encourages people to drive
separately, taking four cars where previously they had taken one;
j and driving instead of using public transportation. Such waste
of resources should properly be discouraged at a time when energy
i supplies are limited and costs are rising.
i
j In summary, the parking ban on Governor Street:
I 1) Is not warranted by the nature of the street or the
j various situations which might occur;

2) Has a detrimental impact primarily on senior citizens,
handicapped persons, permanent residents and householders, rather
than on tre persons intended;
3) Has caused and continues to cause great hardship to
residents; and
4) Is opposed by nearly all the residents living along
Governor Street.
We request that the prohibition on parking on Governor Street
be lifted immediately and that no new restrictions be enforced
without careful study and an opportunity for residents to be heard.
Thank you for your consideration.

Nembers of the City Council of Iowa City:
We the residents of North Dubuque Street would like the City to know
that we are unhappy with the condition of the sidewalk on the west side
of North Dubuque Street at the foot of Kimbal.l Road. Water does not drain
off of this walk properly and it is not uncommon for it to be submerged
under several inches of water after a winter thaw or a heavy rain. In
order to avoid wading through this water, it is often necessary for pe-
destrians to step out onto Dubuque Street. Due to the heavy flow of
traffic on Dubuque Street, this is quite dangerous. What makes this
problem especially annoying is the fact that this particular sidewalk
is the only one connecting the Mayflower Apartments and the P1 Kappa
Alpha Fraternity House with downtown Iowa City. We therefore urge the
T/ /
City to take action to correct this problem.

Mr. Neal Berlin
City Manager
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. Berlin,
We are property owners at 1217 Rochester Avenue, Iowa City,
and we strongly urge the City to re -consider the new parking
ordinance for the following reasons:
1. With the 'no parking 8-5' signs on the south side of
Rochester A:enue, the street now has no parking during
the day. We happen to be one of many on the street
who have a garage reached only through the alley. However,
our garage was inaccessible for three continuous months
this winter. Rochester Avenue has no streets intersecting
it from the south for three blocks (1100, 1200, and
1300 blocks); as a result, the only parking available
during winter months would be two short streets going
north to Bloomington, which would hamper entering or
exiting Rochester Avenue.
2. The lots on the south side of Rochester are very deep.
Parking the car on the street if it will be used late
at night is often necessary for safety reasons. Although
we have lights for our backyard and garage, the alley
is not well lit for the entire *h.
3• Rochester is a 25 mph street. Thid speed limit is not
observed. Allowing no parking would appear to only increase
the speeds at which cars travel. No parking on one side
only is sufficient for two clear lanes.
Suggestions:
1. Pave the alley and plow it to guarantee its access year-
round and light the entire length of the alley for
safety.
2. Designate Rochester Avenue a Snow Emergency Route. With
a snowfall. cars must be removed until plows come through.
(Lincoln, Nebraska, has a similiar program) This seems
the most obvious solution to the problem.
We agree with Mayor Vevera's belief that the City is not
obligated to provide its residents with street parking. However,
we feel there are certain situations that necessitate parking
on the street. We urge you to re -consider the ordinance!
j Thank you.

i 04,-, 6�c f..lu
