Review of Phase I Report °
(Airport.Master Plan Project No. A-19-0047-01)
Dear Mr. Jones:
We have reviewed the preliminoy draft report for the :first phase of
the Master Plan and we offer the following cosiments.
BASIC DATA SECTION
1. Existing Airport Facilities (page 6) - We disagree with the
statement that the Iowa City Municipal Airport is a "General .
Utility" airport. Airport categorization is datemined by .
several factory design and utilization being the primary
ones. All three runways were constructed prior to the advent.
of the Utility Airport classification, and they were constructed
to a width :& strength considerably ip excess of Utility daed,p
standardeas' `
Therefore, for certain climatic conditions, any Ione of the three
runways Is•su6,jact,to being used by.larger than utility class
aircraft, even though the runway lengths may be equal or only
slightly in escase of the l4p4th.obtr11%ed from the runway length
curves published in-AC .150/5300-4B.
FORECAST SRCTICN
We concur with the forecast figures presented in the Report but forecasts'
need to be developed for the following additional activities and for the
reasons indicated:

for certain navigational aide Is justified.

crosswind runways is tiie ane as for primerp iyiih i - The”
fact that creeWrA runwa" are frequently aborter then
primary runways is due to other consideraticaa..and for Utility
runway design, the 80% factor represents the liolt''uW*r,which
a lesser length does not constitute an, effective'crosewind
facility. In the 'casr of'Iaw City, an analyai.e-*of all
pertinent factors may disclop that extensions' -to the crosswind
runways are not feasible, but it Is inappropriate to say that
"there is n6 need td'axtend them".
2. Runway Len¢the For Bieaioan Joh The "Caution" parograph.en
pegs 65 should be revised:'to indicate that the limlt of 700 annual
itinerant operations is applicable to runway lsnaths obtained
from curveq'other then the 0060% Fleet at 60% Usifui Load". Per
Agency criteria a level of 500 annual itinerant operations to used
to justify a Basic Transport Airport Category initially.
3. Croseriad Ca�ronent Desiaa - On page 67, in the second paragraph,
the term "genera aviation" should be changed to r'utility". The
term general aviation includes all aircraft outside the military
avid scheduled•eir•carrier fleets, many of which are transport

the design standard for transport category aircraft.
4. Plannint For Han r' ce•-.:Contrary to the opening atatenent in
[he last peregtep on page 76, the Agency has no ataadard for
determining the percentage of based aircraft requiring hangars.
For the Midwest, our office recarsmends using from 70% to 90% as
e rule of thumb for planning hangar space.

additional taxiways apparently woe taken from Advisory Circular

ploring in-home services, information and referral, room and board situa-
tions, day care, coop housing for those who can afford it. She pointed out

cials.

To thZ Honorable Mayor and Members of the Iowa City Council:
Thank you Mayor Vevera, and Council Members, for voting to have
the NO PARKING 8-5 signs removed from Sheridan Avenue, and from
other streets in the City. Having places on at least one side of
streets wher6..visitorst helpers,. and aervice—people.can park means.
so much to the aging, the disabled, and the home—bound, myself included.
I feel sure that the residents of this area will oo—operate with
the City andwill observe the new parking regulations on street—cleaning
and snow removal days. This should not be difficult if the alleys can
be kept open during snow storms, as the number of off—street parking
spaces in this area is almost equal to the number of motor vehicles.
Last summer we were told that the streets in this area would be
swept once a month, but it was not done on any reguler or announced date5,
No reply to this letter is necessary.

Re: Ralston Creek Village
On behalf of the Owners, Sam Abrams and Gary Abrams, we have been authorized to
prepare this letter advising the City that the Owners will cooperate with the
City by granting various easements for the relocation of the 42 inch diameter
sanitary sewer.
We understand that the City proposes to relocate this, sewer by constructing a-
new sewer.along the westerly and northerly boundaries of the project and abandon-
ing a portion of the existing 42 inch sanitary sewer that would lie under the pro-
posed buildings. The proposed easements required of the Owner would be.as follows:
I. A 10 foot wide easement along a portion of the westerly boundary of
the project with the provision that no building construction be '
permitted within the easement.
2. A similar easement, approximately 30 feet'in length, north of the
proposed apartment buildings where the.proposed sewer Would connect
to the existing sewer.
3. For the existing storm sewer and sanitary sewer easements north of the
proposed apartment buildings, the existing easement agreements would
be revised to add the provision that construction of buildings on these
r easements would be prohibited.
S -
4, Grant a new easement for possible future construction running the entire
a length of the 5 foot wide strip of land that connects to Burlington
Street and entending this easement southerly to the point where the
ii relocated sewer connects to the existing 42 inch'sewer'. This easement
would also need to include the provision prohibitingthe construction of
buildings.

RECEIVED AP 2 3 1979
I'm pretty sure that you share with us ,--the older
segment of Iowa City-- great joy as we take the next step toward
our new Senior Center.
My (at times) disheartening experience on the Council
of Elders this year makes me bold enough to want to give you some
of my thoughts. Your agenda for your Monday P.M. work session
must be strenuous. It is great to have ten (10) applications for
the five openings on our new Senior Center Commission. I should
expect that proven management skills, fiscal understanding,
and excellent"team" talents rank high on the criteria for selection
Of commission members. Obviously, there will be ample opportunity
for those not selected for the commission to serve as volunteer
support groups for the diverse programs which we anticipate in
the new center.
Altho I cannot claim personal knowledge of all ten
candidates, the professional leadership they have already
demonstrated in our community prompts me to support
Wm Ambrisao
L Carlton
W J Coen
W W Summerwill
Jeannie Williams
Altho Jeannie Williams is not a senior, she as a
professor in
our School of Social Work, is aware of current research and
already functioning adult centers. She directs graduate students,
knows how to organize time and activities efficiently. Because
of her academic commitment, she is not "out of town" as much as
Tom Walz,;ex-director of our School of Social Work is, and she
# can take advantage of his expertise as to current funding ac-
tivities in Washington, D.C.
Due to their recent "track records" I have serious
reservations about Mary Rock and Thea Sando. A.C. Forwald is
very busy with his regional AARP activities and his failing health.
He has told me that some days he has his zip but on others, he
just can't manage his former resilience.
Good luck -- as we get the "Show on the Roadl"
Sincerely;-

by the City and in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set
forth, it is agreed by and between the parties as follows:
I. CONSIDERATION AND COVENANT. In consideration of the City
approving the amended Final Large Scale Residential Development Plan of
Lots 3 and 4 of "the Westwinds" (known as "Windshire"), the Developer
agrees as a covenant running with the land that the City shall not
approve the building permit on said real estate unless and until water

relieve or release Developer from its responsibility to construct said
improvements pursuant to said plans and specification.
3. BUILDING PERMIT AND ESCROW MONIES- It is further provided,
however, that in the event the Developer, its assigns or successors in
interest, should desire a building permit on Lots 3 and 4 of "the West -
winds" for which pavement, water mains and sanitary sewers are not
installed, Developer, its assigns or successors in interest, shall
deposit with the Clerk of City in escrow an amount equal to the cost of
said improvements plus ten percent (10%) thereof as determined by the
City Engineer's Office of the City. When said funds are deposited, the
Building Inspector of City shall issue a building permit provided that

Physical characteristics: The topography.is moderately

ANALYSIS
The preliminary and final subdivision plats of Moreland Subdivision are in
substantial compliance with the Subdivision Regulations (Chapter 32) of the
Municipal Code. It is the developer's intent at this time to construct a single
family home on Lot 1. The final final plat shows only Lot 1 of a two lot
subdivision. Lot 2 will be developed in the future by Bruce Glasgow. As an
alternative to providing public improvements at this time, an agreement from
Mr. Glasgow should be submitted which states that upon resubdivision of Lot 2 he
Will provide public improvements and comply with the Storm Water Management
Ordinance for Lot 2 in such a manner as to enable Lot 1 to tie into such
improvements and provide appropriate stormwater management facilities. Until
such time as these improvements are made, Lot 1 will provide sewage treatme
installation of an approved septic system. This would appear to be a reasonable nt by
course of action in view of the fact that for Lot 1 to tie into existing sewer
f lines would require drilling under Rochester Avenue if the connection were to be
I accomplished at this time. In addition, the natural slope of Lot 1 toward Lot 2
suggests that it would be more appropriate toI rovide management facilities in that direction. Finally, in vieb
w softhe sfactwthat
vehicular access to Lot 2 will be from First Avenue it is not necessary to
require public improvements such as streets for Lot 1 because Lot 1 is already
adjacent to an existing street.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is the staff's recommendation that action on the preliminary and final
plats be deferred. Upon revision of the plats incorporating the deficiencies and
discrepancies listed below, the staff recommends the plat be approved.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES
I 1. The legal papers are not in order and should be revised.
2. The signatures of the utility companies should be provided.
i
3. An agreement from Bruce Glasgow assuring the provision of public
improvements and compliance with the Storm Water Management Ordinance for
both Lot 1 and Lot 2 should be provided.
4. The name(s) and address(es) of the owner(s) of the subdivision and their
attorney(s) should be shown on the preliminary plat.
5. The location of the existing sanitary sewer at the end of Post Road should
be shown on the preliminary plat.

The Iowa City Human Rights Commission takes strong exception to public comments
made by a member of the Iowa City City Council impaling the Iowa Civil Rights
Commission's handling of the Linda Eaton case while still at the conciliation
stage.
A reponse is made necessary so that public trust in any civil rights agency will
not be undermined or discredited.
It is the intent of this Commission to call the public's attention to the
complaint process so that thepublic will understand how any civil rights agency
operates.
When a•civil rights agency accepts a case an impartial investigation is conducted,
a finding of probable or no probable cause is rendered, and a proposed conciliation
agreement, encompassing a just resolution, is submitted bo both parties. This
procedure was followed by the Iowa Civil Rights Commission.
The Iowa City Human Rights Commission is charged with similar duties. Outbursts
blankedly impuning the Iowa Civil Rights Commission and its procedures strikes
too close to home. Further, many of our cases ultimately are referred to the
Iowa Civil Rights Commission which, therefore, requires a close working relation-
ship. We feel the remarks attributed to an Iowa City Council member jeopardizes

MEMORANDUM
Date: April 19, 1979
To: City Council
From: John Hayek, City Attorney
Neal Berlin, City Manager
Re: Urban Renewal Disposition of Blocks 83 and 84
Mayor and Councilmembers:
This memorandum is being sent to you to bring you up to date on the
situation concerning disposition of Blocks 83 and 84 in downtown Iowa
City.
As you recall, you authorized the sale of this property to Old Capitol
Associates by Resolution No. 78-37 which was passed by the Council on
February 7, 1978. Pursuant to that resolution a contract for the sale
of the property was entered into between the City and Old Capitol on
February 7, 1978. That contract called for Old Capitol Associates to
pay for and take title to urban renewal parcels 83-1 and 84-1 not later
than thirty working days following the date on which the City awarded
the construction contract for the parking structure on Burlington Street.
The City's Urban Renewal Coordinator, Paul Glaves, has been monitoring
performance under the contract. In addition, the City Attorney's office
has been working with the staff and with Old Capitol Associates to
assemble the abstracts of title to the property and to correct title
objections made by Old Capitol Associates following review of the
abstracts.
Last fall, Old Capitol Associates raised several title objections which
they felt should be cured by filing a quiet title action. On December
1, 1978, we agreed to commence a quiet title action in order to satisfy
the concerns of Old Capitol Associates. In doing so, we indicated to
Old Capitol Associates that we did not feel a quiet title action was
necessary, but that we would be happy to commence one if that was their
wish.
Shortly thereafter we did commence a quiet title action and have brought
the same to a successful conclusion with one exception. One of the
defendants in the quiet title action, the Marlas interests, filed an
answer. We believe that the Marlas claim is without merit. On March 9,
1979, the Johnson County District Court entered the default of all
defendants named with the exception of the Marlas interests.
On March 30, 1979, Bob Bowlin submitted a letter to Jay Oehler advising
Jay that all title work had been completed and requesting immediate
review of the abstracts submitted so that prompt closing could be had on
the property. A meeting was held on April 13, 1979, attended by Mr.
Oehler, Mr. Klaus, Mr. Bowlin, and the City Attorney to discuss closing
this transaction. This meeting was held to insure that everything
possible was being done to close.
IIICROFILMED BY

CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MDIUES
2 rte,
At the meeting on April 13, 1979, the City Attorney and Mr. Bowlin were
advised that Old Capitol Associates had applied for a loan from the Iowa
State Bank and Trust Company to obtain funds to enable Old Capitol
Associates to pay for the land covered in the contract. Old Capitol
Associates indicated that the situation looked favorable for obtaining
the land loan but that there were several contingencies that needed to
be met before the actual funds could be obtained. These contingencies
include:
I. Obtaining a copy of the construction loan commitment from the
construction lender.
i
2. Possible review of other construction loan documents by Iowa State
Bank officials.
3. Review of abstracts of title to the property by attorneys for Iowa
State Bank and Trust Company and approval of the same.
+
Old Capitol Associates estimated that a realistic date for closing would
be approximately two weeks from the date of our meeting. This would be
somewhere around May 1, 1979. The City Attorney has visited with of-
ficials of the Iowa State Bank and has confirmed that the bank does have
under active consideration Old Capitol Associates' application for a
land loan. Further, it is the impression of the City Attorney, and we
( want to emphasize impression only, that the bank is seriously con-
sidering favorable action on this loan.
We were advised by Old Capitol officials at the meeting on April 13 that
it will be necessary for the developer to raise additional capital in
order to have enough equity money to finance the construction of the
shopping mall. The figures that we were given of additional equity
needed was between 1.5 and two million dollars. We were advised that
3 Old Capitol Associates intends to establish a limited partnership simi-
lar to the Capitol States Associates limited partnership in order to
obtain the additional funds needed. The plan is then to sell investment
shares in this new entity in order to generate the necessary funds.
Further, we were advised that Old Capitol Associates would prefer that
transfer of the development contract to the new entity be approved by
the City prior to any closing on the land. Obviously, such approval is
not a requirement of the contract.
As you know, Old Capitol Associates has taken possession of the land for
the purposes of doing earth moving work on it with the City's approval.
That approval is conditioned upon them removing themselves from the land
at any time upon our demand. At the meeting, we inquired as to whether
the earth moving contractor had been paid by Old Capitol Associates and
were advised that the contract was a single payment contract calling for
payment to the contractor at the completion of the work and that to date
no payments to the contractor had been made. We were further advised
that the contractor should be finished with this work this week and that
upon receipt of a bill from the contractor the contractor would be paid
promptly. The reason for these inquiries was so that we could be
informed as to the status of any work being done on City property which
could result in mechanic's liens being asserted.

We were also advised that the Younkers lease has been signed and that
the Penney's lease is ready to be signed and is at the New York office
of that department store chain waiting signature. Jack Klaus is to
advise us as soon as confirmation has been received that the lease is
signed.
Obviously, Old Capitol Associates is behind schedule on this project.
The following options are available to you:
1. Wait and see whether or not Old Capitol Associates is able to close
within the next two or three weeks.
2. Give thirty day notice of default to Old Capitol Associates and if
the default is not cured within thirty days, forfeit the contract.
Obviously, this is a drastic alternative.
Based upon our assessment of the situation, it is recommended that the
City apply pressure to Old Capitol Associates to close as quickly as
possible, but that if necessary, the City wait two to three weeks to see
if Old Capitol is able to obtain the land loan. The reason for recom-
mending this is the realization that it will realistically take
that long for the bank to be in a position to make the loan. Secondly,
it is recommended that no additional construction work be authorized
on the property and that Old Capitol be requested to promptly
confirm
payment of the earth moving contractor. Third, it is recommended that
no approval be given to the proposed transfer to Old Capitol Center
partners (the limited partnership discussed above) until there has been
a thorough review City staff and by the City Attorney's office of the
byproposed transfer. unless full documentation is received from Old Capi-
tol Associates within the next few days as to the proposed transfer, it
is unlikely that such a review could be completed and approved by the
City Council prior to closing on the property. And lastly, in the event
Old Capitol Associates is unable to close within the timeframe outlined
above, a further meeting will be had with them by City staff and addi-
tional recommendations made to you.

that material. In addition, I am in regular contact Mr. Dave Lang
at the League and if you would require further information or clari-
fication on the current status of various legislation, I am sure that
I can obtain an appropriate update from Mr. Long.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns re-

SUD'JI;C1': League I'oiicy Development -- Statements of Concern
Last year the League, for the first time, developed a
new procedure for local "grass-roots', input that enabled us to
better represent the interests of the cities before the Iowa
General Assembly.
'171is new process of policy development was well received
by many cities who, for the first time, could directly participate
in policy development for this organization.
We are distributing, again this year, to each city, a
form called "Statement of Concern" (enclosed). This form is to
be completed by you or your designee after discussion with your
council members. The statement should list, as clearly as possible,
legislation or issues which you feel the League should support or
change or oppose.
The forms, which must be returned by June 15, will be the
first important step in building the policies which will be formalized
at our annual convention in September.
The proposals you submit will be grouped into subject areas
and along with staff recommendations will be presented to a resolutions
committee appointed by the League president and composed of city
Officials from each Congressional district. This committee will meet
during the summer and recommend those issues to be considered at the
convention.
The statement of policies approved by the Resolutions Commit-
tee will then be submitted for review, amendment and adoption at the
League's annual convention.
Bach member city present at the convention will have an
opportunity to speak on the Policies and suggest additions, deletions
or other changes.
The Executive hoard of the League which meets frequently
during the year will serve as a review group should any adjustments
be necessary.

rather, "The City of (believes, supports,

Remember [he deadline is June 15, Statements received
after that date will not be eligible for review by the Resolutions
Committee and any Proposal would have to be submitted in writing at

us your input and recolmmndntions.

Re: The Senior Center "Rural Outreach" Program --
a Summary and Schedule
In.the "Rural Outreach" program, we are seeking to accomplish a number of
goals. Most important of these is to reach as many senior citizens in the
Iowa* City -Johnson County area as possible, to explain what a Senior Center
is and how it can be a place to provide services which will meet their
needs. Attached is a copy of the handout "Multi -Purpose Senior Center: A
Bridge to a New 'Community", which is distributed to describe a Senior
Center.
A dozen. meetings. have already been held throughout the county. The
typical meeting' format follows. First, Ben Weise and Barbara Murray
introduced themselves as Senior Center project liaisons from the City of
.Iowa, City and Johnson County Board of Supervisors. A slide show titled
•I'•The.Bridge" explains services provided by Senior Centers nationwide. The
original slide show 'was duplicated with permission .from the National
Council on Aging, and has been adapted to use many slides of Johnson
County groups, activities, and facilities. After the slide. presentation,
they distributed handouts about the "Multi -Purpose Senior Center" and
invite questions, comments, and suggestions. .
In May, a final report will be prepared summarizing the meetings attended
and responses received during the discussions. Since the project has
begun, presentations to 315 residents of Johnson County have been made.
Meetings to -date have included the following:
1. Shueyville Council "Tuesday, April 3, 1979

PROJECT NAME: Nelson Adult Center DATE: March 1979
for Retarded Citizens
SUBMITTING DEPARTMENT: Iowa City Department of Planning and
Program Development,
Dennis Kraft, Director
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A. Geographical Location:
The Nelson Adult Center for retarded citizens is located at 1020
William Street in east Iowa City. The site is part of a small
commercial and office area known as Towncrest Center (see map
#2). The project building is the north wing of a number of
commercial buildings, all of which adjoin forming one
continuous building as shown on figure A p. 22.
Other establishments located in the building are a laundry, the
offices of the Iowa City Community School District, a beauty
parlor, optician, insurance office, dance studio and offices of
AAA and a travel bureau. The arrangement of these businesses is
shown on map #2 and photograph #1, p. 25.
-,
The commercial building encloses a central parking area on
three sides, with parking for 54 cars. Additional parking for
the Nelson Adult Center is available to the north of the
building.
Map #2 shows the specific land uses immediately adjacent to the
_1
building housing the Nelson Adult Center. Immediately north of
the building, across an alley, are a gas station and funeral
home; a restaurant, figure salon and dental offices lie east of
the area; to the south there are single family homes. The
Towncrest medical complex (mainly doctors' offices), a drug
store, and a bank adjoin the area to the west across William
Street.
B. Project Site: (See figures B, C) .
The building housing the Nelson Adult Center was built in 1967
of cement blocks with a brick exterior (see photograph #2, p.
25). The building is in sound condition and was inspected in
winter 1978. At that time the furnace was overhauled and
repaired. No other repairs to the building are expected in the
near future. The building is owned by TMP Realty Co, and leased
by Johnson County Association for Retarded Citizens.
The two levels of the building have a combined floor area of
{ approximately 11,500 square feet. Both levels of the building
have parking areas directly adjacent to the ground level
j — entrances, so that vans can easily load and unload clients in
wheelchairs (see photograph #3, p. 26). The building has been
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES
1
remodelled to accommodate the program, i.e. bathrooms have been
made accessible to the handicapped, kitchen facilities added,
and a number of partitions constructed to separate work areas.
At present only the lower level of the building is being used
for the Nelson Adult Center program, since this provides ample
^
space for the 23 clients currently being served (see photograph
N4, p. 26). This lower level will also serve the expanded
program; a projected increase to 35 clients is expected within a
year and up to 100 in the future. If the program continues to
expand even further in future years, the upper level (currently
I
leased to Systems Unlimited Inc.) would also be suitable for use
for this program.
i
The general location of the site, its accessibility, size and
excellent condition make it eminently suitable as the permanent
location for the Nelson Adult Center program.
7
J
C. Improvements to be Provided at the Project Site:
The stairwell located in the center of the building is presently
closed off. Future plans call for the removal of this stairwell
which will provide an additional 342 square feet of usable space
on both the upper and lower levels of the building. Adequate
stairs for employees are available at the east end of the
building.
As additional clients are served, bathrooms accessible to
handicapped persons will be added as needed.
An additional exit door facing north will be provided at the
"
west end of the lower level of the building as shown on figure
B.
The costs of these improvements have been included in the budget
on p. 4 and will be paid for by the Johnson County Association
for Retarded Citizens (JCARC). No CDBG funds will be used for
this purpose.
J
E. Proposed Schedule for Completion of Project:
J
1. Negotiations for the purchase of the project site from
December 1, 1978 to March 15, 1979. (Completed)
2. Preparation of installment real estate contract for the

H. Area Served by Pro.iect:
The project serves mentally retarded and severely handicapped
adults of the Iowa City area. 95% of the clientele of this
center are residents of Iowa City.
A 1978 survey carried out by the Johnson County Department of
Social Services identified 263 mentally and developmentally
disabled persons in Johnson County. Of these 23 are currently
served by the Nelson Adult Center. An estimated 100 severely
handicapped children are served by the University of Iowa
Hospital Schools and area schools. Many of these are potential
clients of the Adult Center. There is therefore an obvious need
for a permanent expanded program to serve developmentally
disabled adults in the area.

PROJECT GOAL:
To provide consistent life long programming for the needs of mentally
retarded citizens in the Iowa City area.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
To provide the developmentally disabled with a socially acceptable
(normalized) pattern for daily living.
To help the developmentally disabled make the transition from
childhood into adult living through training in the adult living
skills and appropriate grooming, home making, traveling, work habits
and skills, leisure time pursuits, and functional skills to help each
client function at the highest level possible.
To help parents by working closely with them to accept and develop
the role of the severely retarded adult in the family.
To prepare the developmentally disabled who have potential and the
necessary skills for more advanced programs such as sheltered
workshops or vocational training centers.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
"1
The Nelson Adult Center is available to developmentally disabled,
primarily mentally retarded, adults aged 18 to 65 who are not in any
other program. Clients live in adult foster care facilities, the
Johnson County Care Facility, nursing homes and the homes of their
parents.
J
The primary purpose of providing day care services to
developmentally disabled adults is to preclude institutionalization.
The Nelson Adult Center provides a daytime program and a protected
environment. Each client has an Individual Program Plan (IPP) that
is developed to meet his/her needs.
J
The program is under the direction of the administrator of the
center. The administrator is under the executive director and
rehabilitation counselor of Systems Unlimited. Application
materials are accepted from the Department of Social Services,
I
Rehabilitation, Education and Services Branch (RESB), parents or
guardians, and individuals having a need for the service. An
Individual Program Plan is prepared within 30 days after the client
enters the program. Thereafter quarterly evaluations are made and a
progress report sent to the Department of Social Services or other
J
referring agencies. Parents or guardians of clients are invited to
visit the center and are kept informed of the client's progress.
i
Services at the center are terminated to clients in the following
situations: a move from the community; advancement to a more
appropriate work setting, e.g. Goodwill Industries; or when the
center does not meet the client's needs.

The center is equipped for all concurrent training areas, has full
kitchen facilities, two bathrooms, is heated and air conditioned,
and is fully accessible for wheelchairs. The facility and its
programs has the approval of the District #10 Administrator of the
Department of Social Services.
The staff at the Nelson Adult Center includes the Director, a minimum
number of four teachers (the number depends on the number of
clients), and practicum students from the University of Iowa. The
Visiting Nurses Association visits and reviews the medical condition
of clients. Assistance in program planning is provided by the
Special Education Department of the University of Iowa. Social and
recreational services are provided by the center in cooperation with
other community facilities such as the Public Library, Recreation
Center, bowling establishments, and restaurants.
There are five basic areas of activity training on which the learning
experience of each person is based as follows: 1) training and self-
help skills, 2) socialization skills, 3) practical education, 4)
physical development, 5) work experience activities.

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITIES:
A. P�ysical Environment:
The building housing the program was previously used as a large
drug store. There are therefore no significant environmental
changes due to the new use of the building which is also
considered as a commercial use.
Surrounding Land Uses:
As shown on map #1, land uses in the project area are very
varied. To the south a low-density residential area abuts
Southeast Junior High School and a community park, whose
southern boundary (the CRI & P Railroad tracks) separate it from
an industrial park. To the west the medical office complex and
a small commercial area are surrounded by predominantly low-
density residential housing, while to the north a one -block
commercial area is replaced by a high-density residential area
including a trailer court and multifamily units, as well as a
small cemetery. To the east of the center there is some vacant
land and both high and low-density residential areas.
Pollution Levels:
The project will have little effect on the air and noise
pollution levels of the area. A possible slight reduction in
both air and noise pollution may result from the fact that the
current use of the building attracts much less automobile
traffic than the previous use as a drug store.
Utilities and Services:
Water supply, sanitary sewers, storm sewers, electicity and gas
are already serving the building. There will be no change in
the services.
The center is located on the Iowa City transit line, is just off
a major thoroughfare and is convenient to reach for employees,
parents, and visitors.
Social Environment:
Mental retardation is not a health problem, not a disease, and
there are no patients. There are people, who are not treatable,
but who have a state of being that requires lifelong care and
help.
Looking at the problem of mental retardation in this context, it
is obvious that some existing programs need upgrading and that
there is the need for further innovative planning. In other
words, retarded citizens of our community need consistent,
lifelong programming for their needs.

Work activity centers provide self-help and socialization
services and limited work activities to adult retarded persons
whose handicaps preclude employment even in the sheltered
- workshop. The Nelson Adult Center is such a facility.
The establishment of a permanent location for the Nelson Adult
Center in the Towncrest area will not significantly affect the
employment characteristics of the area since only a small
number of persons (up to 10) are employed at the center. Since
this is not a residential facility there is no effect on the
population density of the area. Economically the new building
use is no longer commercial, but this will not have any
significant effect on the socio-economic characteristics of the
area since the former commercial tenant of the building is now
J
located one block west of the site.
�'
�eu6er in Melation to Other Facilities Serving
Mentally Retarded Citizens: See map #4)
Goodwill Industries, a major employer of severely handicapped
adults in Iowa City, is located
five blocks from the center.
Systems Unlimited, an agency which trains the physically and
mentally handicapped
and supervises the Nelson Adult Center for
Retarded Citizens, has its offices in the top floor the
of
building housing the Nelson Center.
The University of Iowa Hospital School, a facility which trains
severely handicapped children, is 2.7 miles from the center,
the
and Johnson County Care Facility is located 5.3 miles from
the
—�
center.
`
C. Aesthetic Environment:
The whole Towncrest area was developed in the 1950s and 160s
and, therefore,
all structures are relatively new. Brick
exteriors are common as is wood siding. Photographs (#1, #2,
and #3) show various views of the structure housing the Nelson
Adult Center. No
exterior changes will significantly change
the aesthetics of the complex.

An older area of Iowa City lies about a half -mile west of the
Towncrest
area. Structures of historical importance in this
area are shown on map #3.

HISTORY OF THE NELSON ADULT CENTER
The Nelson Adult Center has been licensed in five locations in nine
years - none of which were really suitable for the program. Each
move necessitated spending money for needed minimum modifications of
the building (e.g. bathrooms, kitchen facilities), which the Johnson
County Association for Retarded Citizens, supported by volunteer
dollars, could ill afford.
1. The program started in 1969 in donated space at Gloria Dei
Lutheran Church with 6 persons enrolled. The program ran from
9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon; transportation was provided. The
program was funded entirely by JCARC whose funds were supplied
by parents and private donations.
2. The JCARC owned a two-story Clark Street building, and the
program was moved there next. The building was not really
suitable for the program in which some of the clients were in
wheelchairs and others had difficulty climbing stairs. An
elevator was installed. After the latter was declared unsafe
for use the JCARC decided to sell the building (1976).
3. The center was then moved into basement space without windows
under the former Systems Unlimited office in Towncrest. This
location was completely inaccessible to clients in wheelchairs
and they were therefore excluded from the program.
4. A warehouse on South Riverside Drive was the home of the program
next, since it provided larger space and was accessible.
5. When the warehouse was otherwise needed by its owner, the center
moved to its present location in Towhcrest in 1978.
6. In 1976 JCARC had architectural plans drawn up for a building to
house the Nelson Adult Center on a site about five blocks south
and west of the present location. An environmental review
record was prepared for this site and approved by HUD. However,
the cost of constructing such a building proved to be too high
and this alternative had to be abandoned.
After trying many alternatives and reviewing many others, this
non-profit corporation has decided to retain the Towncrest
location. Continual moving from one rented location to another
has been both unsettling for the clients and expensive. At
every location bathroom and kitchen facilities have to be made
accessible. The space currently being leased is eminently
suited for the program and purchase of the building would
provide not only a permanent convenient location and accessible
facility for the Nelson Adult Center, but also the opportunity
for expansion of the program.

I I ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
A. Without CDBG Funds:
1. Continue leasing the Towncrest building.
The program is functioning effectively at this location,
and this alternative would be appropriate if some kind of
long-term lease could be arranged. However, the owner is
interested in selling the building (which is in an
- excellent location for commercial use) and it is likely
that a future owner would not wish to continue leasing the
building to JCARC and SUI. The program would therefore
have to be moved again, with resulting inconvenience and
expense.
2. Continue leasing the space.
The history of the program indicates that JCARC has had
great problems in finding suitable space to rent. In fact,
there are essentially no vacant buildings in Iowa City
with a usable floor space of 4-6,000 square feet and
accessibility for wheelchairs. Where such space is
available it is usually only for a short period of time
until the owner requires it himself, sells it or leases it
to a profit -oriented business from which he can get a
higher return. As mentioned previously, it is expensive
- to continually modify buildings for the program, and
frequent moves are disruptive and inefficient.
3. Obtain funds from other sources to construct a new
facility or buy the Towncrest building.
I
JCARC has made continuous efforts since its inception in
1958 to raise money for its programs. During the past
twenty years through donations they have been able to
raise approximately $35,000 to be used for purchasing or
constructing a building. In 1976 when plans were drawn up
for construction of a new building the association was
unable to raise sufficient funds (in addition to $50,000
CDBG funds) to make the project feasible. Whereas there
are funding sources to operate programs for the
developmentally disabled, to date JCARC has not been able
to find a source to provide a lump sum which would make
purchase of a building feasible. This alternative
therefore, does not appear to be a viable one.
B. Using CDBG Funds:
1. Use CDBG funds to rehabilitate the Towncrest building
,..I rather than as a downpayment.
The building appears to be in excellent condition
generally, and the modifications which need to be carried
I
11
MICROFILMED BY

CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOIRES
i
out total an estimated $10,000 for which CDBG funds could
be utilized.
However, if CDBG funds are not used as part of the down -
payment, JCARC will be unable to purchase the building,
and it would be uneconomical to make the modifications
unless a long-term lease could be obtained. (See A.1)
C. Close Down the Facility and Terminate the Program:
Although Goodwill Industries provides a program for trainable
developmentally handicapped and retarded persons, and SUI
operates a number of other programs, particularly for children,
there at
careandet training t no other everelylocal facilities handicapped adults. chInrovide da
fact, the
need for an adult day care facility was brought home to the
parents of JCARC when their children graduated from the
Hospital School and Public school programs, and it seemed that
the only alternative was institutionalization, since most of
the retarded did not function sufficiently well to be employed
at Goodwill Industries. Termination of the program would be a
real loss to the community as well as an added expense since
most of the adults at the Nelson Center would have to be
institutionalized.

STABILITY OF PROGRAM
j "Ideas do not become translated into working reality just
because they are needed. They have to ignite in men's
minds. They have to develop explosive force. They have to
blast a way through mountains of resistance, tradition and
orthodoxy." (Norman Cousins)
The members of the Johnson County Association for Retarded
Citizens can attest to that statement for in 1957 when
JCARC was started there were no programs for the mentally
retarded, beyond a modest one at City High School for
educable students.
Every program arose out of an unmet need, and was
implemented largely by parents with the help of a few other
interested persons. Funding came by way of the volunteer
j dollar. With increased interest by the public in the needs
J of the mentally retarded, gradually public financial
support grew. However, it was not until 1975 that
i mandatory legislation was passed which assures every
child's right to an education regardless of disability.
i
J
The JCARC is a unique human service agency far beyond the
employment of teachers and aides in the classrooms. In 21
years JCARC has never had a paid staff (not even CETA or
Work -Study employees). For 21 years parents have done all
the organizational work, as well as planning,
implementing, and supervising all of the programs.
September 1978 saw the hiring of a part time executive
secretary.
For 21 years parents have appeared before boards and
committees advocating for their children. It is the
latter group, now adults, whose needs we are concerned
with here.
Mental retardation is not a health problem, not a disease,
and there are no patients. There are people, who are not
treatable, but who have a state of being that requires
lifelong care and help.
In other words these citizens of our community cannot be
helped with a temporary program of intervention, but need
consistent, life long programming for their needs."
The statement quoted above was part of a presentation made by JCARC
to the Committee on Community Needs when they requested CDBG funds to
support a permanent program for mentally retarded adults.
As the history of the Nelson Adult Center (p. 10) indicates, JCARC
has been able to maintain the program since 1969, despite location
problems, and has in fact increased the scope of the program.
13
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS.DES Mon+ES
JCARC has been in existence for over 20 years during which time it
has been the prime force in getting classes for trainable children
within the Public School system, a sheltered workshop (Goodwill
Industries), special populations involvement (recreation programs
for the developmentally disabled), an adult day care program and the
formation of Systems Unlimited, Inc.
All these programs are stable and growing, and there is every reason
to believe that they will continue to do so. If a building is
Purchased to house the Nelson Adult Center program on a permanent
basis, the program is expected to continue for at least the next 5
years, provided funding remains available. The need for such a
program will continue. An estimated five to ten children a year
graduate from the school care programs and will be eligible for the
adult day care and training programs.
FUNDING
The Johnson County Association for Retarded Citizens is funded
entirely by dues from members and private donations.
for the various programs include federal, Funding sources
state, county, city and
United Way funds.
As shown on p. 7 the Nelson Center program is funded with 75% federal
funds (Title XX of the Social Security Act 1975 Public Law 93-647)
with 25% matching funds allocated by the Johnson County Board of
Supervisors. These funds are allocated annually both federally and
by the county, and have provided a steady source for the program.
The stability of the organization, its funding sources and program
make it a worthwhile investment for CDBG funds allocated to the City.

SITE VISIT AND COMMENTS:
Date: March 16, 1979
Personnel: Marianne Milkman, Planner/Program Analyst
On site review of the Nelson Adult Center site and program indicates
that the building currently housing the program meets the present and
future needs of the center. Those levels of the building are easily
accessible to wheelchairs and the openness of the floor space permits
easy maneuvering of the chairs inside the building. The atmosphere
is cheery, enhanced by the light wall color and numerous large
windows. The lower level currently used for the program, is spacious
with good kitchen and bathroom facilities.
The upper level of the building is currently leased to Systems
Unlimited, but will permit eventual expansion of the program to serve
up to 100 mentally retarded and handicapped adults.
The program is self-contained and there appear to be no adverse
affects on the environment.

Through: Iowa Department of Environmental quality
Dear Mr. Berlin:
IN
On behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency, I am pleased to
offer a grant of $2,732,920 to help you complete construction of your
wastewater facility. If you decide to accept this grant, the original
and one copy of the enclosed Grant Agreement should be signed and
returned to us by certified mail within three weeks. I would like to
call your attention to the conditions in the Agreement, since the grant
is contingent upon compliance with them.
The plans and specifications for your waste treatment project have been
approved and are being sent to you under separate cover. These should
roi�„ry be kept in the municipal clerk's office for the purpose of official
inspection. The review was primarily to determine compliance with minimum
sanitary engineering requirements and did not cover items such as quality
of material, structural soundness, electrical and mechanical design
features, unless noted in the review I comments. Approval of plans and specifications does not in any way release the Grantee from the
responsibility that the project will result in an operable facility
when construction is completed. You may not advertise for bids until the
solicitation documents submitted concerning the use of minority business
enterprise have been approved by Environmental Protection Agency.
After you have opened and analyzed bids, complete and submit
7 EPA 5700-43, Supplemental Project Information form. In addition to
the other material indicated on that form, two copies of the plans and
specifications as released to bidders are required to be submitted.

Contracts must not be awarded until this form and supporting documents
have been received and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The schedule of payments shown in the Grant Agreement is also based
on the Grantee meeting certain conditions. Compliance with these
conditions will permit an orderly flow of payments based on obligations
incurred by the Grantee. If the schedule is not satisfactory, a
revised estimate should be furnished as soon as possible.
If there are any questions, please contact the Environmental Protection
Agency through the Iowa Department of Environmental Quality. I !

SAFETY GLASS REQUIREMENTS REVIEWED
April 1979
Section 5406 of the Uniform Building Code indicates that safety glass must be used in
several locations. An example of a few types of locations are glass doors, glazing
immediately adjacent to such doors, glazing adjacent to any surface normally used as
a walking service, sliding glass doors, shower doors, tub enclosures, and storm doors,
etc. There are some exceptions to Section 5406 and they are as follows:
1. Glass lights located more than 18" above any surface normally used as a
walking surface and where there is an opaque wall section between such
surface and the glass.
2. Glass lights when the least dimension is no greater than 18".
3. Glass lights protected by a guardrail, handrail or other approved barrier
which will prevent human impact from being delivered to the glass surface.
4. Glass directly attached to walls or wardrobe closet doors in an approved
manner.
5. Mirrored glass wardrobe doors provided that:
a. The glass is at least 3/16 inches thick.
b. Such mirrors are gasket wrapped in vinyl or rubber set in a metal
frame and,
c. Such mirrors are backed by a minimum of Kraft paper with a tensile
strength of -80 pounds per, inch of width, both directions, applied
with an approved adhesive without voids in adhesive application.
There is a new trend in window installation in dwellings.
Iowa City builders are
installing fewer windows in a room, however to comply with
the minimum light require-
ment, windows have become longer and narrower. This creates problems if the glass is
within 18" of the floor. If any glass is closer than 18" to the floor, that glass
must be safety glass or protected by some type of guardrail
system.
The City is enforcing this provision and since we have encountered
a number of vio-
lations, we wished to bring the matter to your immediate attention.
If you should need a clarification of this section of code
please contact Glenn Siders,
Senior Building Inspector, at the Civic Center.

EMERGENCY REP. .t AND HOME WINTERIZATION GRANTS �jW AVAILABLE
The City Council authorized the staff to make grants available for home winterization
and to do emergency repairs on properties located in the center city and owned by
people of low income and having limited cash to maintain their properties. The pro-
gram will give special priority to elderly homeowners who are disabled.
The new program is designed to streamline the rehabilitation process so as to service
a maximum number of property owners before the end of June 1980. Some $300,000 is
available for the grants until June 30, 1979 and an additional $70,000 will be avail-
able for the next fiscal year.
Simplification of the processing steps including more involvement by the homeowner in
determining what should be done and which contractors they want will enable more of
the Iowa City contractors specializing in the fieldtof insulation, electrical wiring,
plumbing, roof replacement and foundation work to participate in the program.
Contractors interested in learning more about the program should contact Steve Burns
at 354-1800, extension 336.
Hopefully some 50 homeowners will receive insulation, new furnaces, rewiring, plumbing
repairs, new roofs or other necessary repairs to their structures before July 1, 1979.

City of Iowa Ci
MEMORANDUM
TO: City Manager
city council
DATE: April 19, 1979
FROM: Lyle G. Seydel, Housing Coordinator
RE: Memo Dated April 10
P - Sites for Turnkey Housing
The following information is provided to clarify the figures utilized
in the example of income vs. cost:
a. Maximum gross income for eligibility in Public Housing is less
than for Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program. It is
normally placed between 808 and 908 of Section 8 income limits.
Deductions are different and are greater than Section 8. In
both programs Gross Family Contribution is computed at not more
than 258 of the adjusted income. Gross Family Contribution in-
cludes utilities paid by tenant, and it is planned that all the
units will be separately metered and billed to the tenant. Con-
sidering that twenty of the twenty-eight units are 3 and 4 bed-
room units, the utility allowance is greater, thereby reducing
the cash rent paid by tenant. Cash rent is the base or only
source for operating and maintenance costs.
b. Certain items included in the annual cost projections are fixed:
1) Payment in lieu of taxes (pilot) is fixed at 108 of cash
rent, so will fluctuate at the same rate as income changes.
2) Insurance will generally decrease, on a per unit cost basis
as the number of units increase. Also, insurance for a 3
bedroom unit in a 12-plex will cost less than for a 3 bed-
room single-family residence, on a per unit basis, even
though the rate for the multi -family is higher. Note that
8 of the approved units are single-family/duplex units.
3) Preventive maintenance will have certain fixed costs that
will not increase as the number of units increase. For ex-
ample, a set of tools will be required for maintaining one
unit, but the same set can be utilized for 28 or even 48.
With a small number of units, maintenance would probably be
Placed on contract, where a larger number of units would sup-
port a maintenance person at a lessor cost on a per unit basis.
Also, it is less costly to maintain a two-bedroom unit than a
four-bedroom unit.
4) Operational costs, like maintenance cost will have certain
fixed costs that will not increase as the number of units
increase. Office space and equipment are required and must
be considered. The same equipment and space can be utilized
for 28 or 48 units with no increase in cost. Staff time will
be increased very little between 28 and 48 units. Therefore,
these costs will be reduced, not in total dollar figures, but
on a per unit cost basis. Note that the multi -family units con -
Me]

CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110PIE5
L_ __-L..

April 19, 1979
tain 2 and 3 bedroom units, while the four-bedroom units
are scattered. Time and space factors will reduce opera-
ting costs at a multi -family site, and as the number of
sites vs. the number of units change, so will the cost
per unit for operating and maintenance.
5. Reserve for replacement will be fixed by HUD and will
generally be 10% of the total operating and maintenance
costs. This item will increase in total dollars as opera-
ting and maintenance costs increase, but will decrease on
a per unit basis.
c• Using the same factors, this example is provided:
48 Units = with an average cash rent of $60.00*
Annual Income
$39,560.
Projected Costs
$32,896.
Pilot $ 3,456
Insurance 12,800
Prev. Mntnce. 8,640
Operational 81000
$32,896
*Experience with the Section 8 Program indicates that the three-bedroom
unit will generate a higher cash rent than a four-bedroom unit, and a
two-bedroom unit more than a three-bedroom unit. Therefore, with d
two-bedroom, 26 three-bedroom, and 10 four-bedroom units in our 48 12
units,
the average cash rent would probably be higher than the 28 unit example
which contained 8 four-bedroom, 12 three-bedroom and 8 two -bedrooms.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 20, 1979
TO: City Council
FROM: Paul Glaves, Development Coordinator
RE: Land Acquisition - South Gilbert Street Project
i
1. The ,staff has, for some time, been proceeding with the appraisal process for
the right-of-way acquisition for the South Gilbert Street project. We have
obtained one appraisal of each of the parcels and are obtaining second appraisals
of four of the parcels.
A review appraiser who is on the IDOT staff is to review all appraisals.The
review appraiser has completed his review of four parcels. A resolution
establishing just compensation for these four parcels is included on the agenda
for April. 24,
2. As the. City Engineer has indicated to you previously, expected costs for this
project have increased. When the project was initially planned, acquisition
was estimated to cost $300,000 with a total project budget -of $1,400,000.
During preparation of the CIP, the cost estimates were revised upward, with a
total,project cost of $1,700,000.
The current construction cost estimate is $1,252,000.
Final acquisition costs are of course not known, but the sum of the first'
appraisals is $498,767. While this is a substantial increase from the original
estimates, it is in line with the estimates made during the preparation of the
CIP.
In addition to.the review being done by the IDOT staff appraiser, the Development
Division staff has also closely examined the appraisals. We find them to.be
welldocumented and prepared in a technically correct manner.
3. The Resolution Establishing Just Compensation which is on the agenda for
J
April -24 will initiate actual right-of-way acquisition. 'The cost information
jjjj set forth above is provided for your review at this time, because upon adoption
l of the resolution we will begin acquiring right-of-way immediately. The staff
recommends adoption of the resolution.
4 The staff will, be prepared to discuss this matter with you at the informal
session, April 23.

Dear Neal:
Thanks much for your letter of April 4 and the enclosed memoran-
dum on the proposed peer city evaluation. I appreciate your
taking the time to let me know of both your continued interest
in the University Cities caucus (see the attached writings) and
the city's exploration of an exchange of city teams for evaluat-
ing services and service delivery, policymaking, and management.
On the idea of the evaluation, I know that Councilperson Neu-
hauser, as a member of the joint ICMA-NLC Management Improvement
Committee, has been one of the leading proponents of this con-
cept and proposed practice. It sounds to me as if Iowa City is
in the forefront in several areasl Studying the adoption of
performance measures and peer city evaluation are the two that I
have recently become aware of.
I was able to talk with Don Borut at the Congressional -City Con-
ference about making the University Cities caucus a joint ICMA-
NLC venture. He was enthusiastic and will be placing an
announcement of the meeting in "Nuts and Bolts" or another ICMA
publication, to inform ICMA members, Where we go from there --
besides holding a meeting at either or both of the ICMA and NLC
annual conventions --is yet undecided. Your suggestions are most
welcome.

Iowa City, Iowa animal control officers give certificates of
AWARDS
merit to citizens who take exceptional responsibility for the
care of their pets. The program is an effort on the part of
the city to give animal control officers a way to interact
positively with the citizens. The citizens appreciate the
recognition, and officers no longer feel as if they are
constantly "the bad guys" for performing their duties. For
further information, contact City Manager Neal Berlin, Civic/
--C-enter, 410 E. Washington St., Iowa City, Iowa, 55240,
31'9/354-18o0.
SUMMARY
City Manager Bob Semple, Independence Missouri, utilizes what
EXECUTION
he calls the "One -on -One Conference Program. Once a week he
--
meets for half -an -hour with each department head to go over
departmental programs, issues, and problems. Afterwards, a
summary is prepared by each department head for the manager
who then has a record and routine update on all city programs.
The
("'•.
summary is circulated to other departments so they are
fully informed
�d
of what's going on in the city. A summary also
goes to the city council each week. Mr. Semple
can give further
information at 103 N. Main, Independence, Missouri, 816/836-8300.
TESTING
When many suburban Chicago communities realized they were all
COPS
testing the same candidates for positions on their respective
police forces, a number of municipalities northwest of Chicago,
under the leadership of the Northwest Municipal Conference,
instituted a program of joint recruiting and testing. In an
effort
-
to cut costs and improve the effectiveness of police
officer selection,
a recruitment and testing entity was established.
This consortium
guarantees local control through respective police
and fire commissions, performing only those duties
which might
be described as administrative or technical
services.
iNo
overall list is prepared, but rather test results are sent
only to those jurisdictions indicated by the applicant. This
provision of individual test results leaves the final analysis
iand
decision-making to the local selection board - a key to the
success of the NWMC program. For more details contact William
Muhlenfeld, Executive

INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION
APRIL 23, 1979
INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION: April 23, 1979, 1:30 PM in the Conference Room
at the Civic Center. Mayor Robert Vevera presiding.
COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT: Balmer, deProsse, Neuhauser, Roberts, Vevera,
I
Erdahl, Perret (1:40 PM).
STAFFMEMBERS PRESENT: Berlin, Helling, Stolfus. Others present for certain
discussions, as noted.
TAPE-RECORDED on Reel N79-13, Side 1, 1624 -End, Side 2, 1-1562.
APPLICATIONS TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
1624 -End
Ralston Creek Village Dietz, Boothroy Schmeiser present Side 2,
1. Developers letter regarding easements to relocate 1-766
sewer, noted. Relocated sewer is along the front of the property.
2. Dietz advised that an indemnification agreement is needed from the
builders, so if they choose to ignore the sewer and build over it,
the City is not responsible.
3. Cost of $81,000 would be paid from Sewer Utility Fund.
4. City's liability if cars were inundated was questioned, also what
the effect on Federal Flood Insurance would be. Legal will report.
I
Moreland Subdivision
1. New Employee, Dan Johnson,introduced to make the presentation.
2. Lot 1 is being subdivided now, 1.69 Acres. Lot 2 will be be subdivided
at a future date (has been sold to Glasgow). An agreement regarding
sewer is needed from Glasgow. Public improvements will be provided
with Lot 2.
3. Council agreed that it should be compulsory to tie into the sewer
when it is constructed.
Zoning Ordinance
1. Schmeiser thought it would be completed by July 1, with parts of it
to P&Z for review previous to that date. He questioned if he should
work on the sign ordinance before the Zoning Ordinance. There are
problems enforcing the present ordinance which may be alleviated by
a new ordinance. Councilmembers directed the City Manager to advise
Kraft that more people be allocated under Don's control, and the
Zoning Ordinance is to be ready by 7/1/79. Planning & Zoning Commission
will be expected to cooperate with their review process.
MEMO ON BLOCK 83/84 URBAN RENEWAL
1. Freda Hieronymus, Jay Oehler and Jack Klaus were present to discuss
issues outlined in the memo distributed with the 4/20 packet. She
explained the status on the concerns expressed; there will be no
problem paying for the contract for moving dirt. Iowa State Bank
assured her that if Atty. Meardon approved the abstracts, a loan
will be funded to Old Capitol Center Partners for the land. They

have approval from the State Insurance Department of their prospectus,
and are asking for approval of a transfer of interest, so they will
have no problems meeting the 5/1 timetable.
2.
Atty. Oehler advised that there was no change in control, names of
investors will be furnished later. Their
objections to title were
legitimate. Berlin agreed.
3.
Berlin pointed out that the money for the land is Side 2
available when Council agrees to the transfer of 1-490
interest, his concern was a delay in the schedule of several months,
also additional time to
raise equity was a concern and not in the
agreement. The City is ready to make further decisions
on construction,
Construction on the second ramp will start in a couple months, so
the progress of the Mall is critical. Hieronymus agreed with Berlin's
statement that on the 15th of May, they would start caisson construc-
tion, whether they have received 100% the
of equity or not, and
proceed without delay, and the rest of the plans will be submitted
4.
in a timely fashion so that construction can proceed.
Hieronymus advised that the Mall would be built in
one entire package,
Younkers section would be turned over to them in June, 1980, and
they planned to open 90 days after that, but would not open unless
the
rest of the Mall was complete. Leasingis at 90%.
NELSON ADULT CENTER
1.
Memo in packet 4/20, noted.
2.
Several Cowreilmembers agreed that the Staff should look at the
contingency in the Community Development Block Grant money, to see
if
extra funding could be allocated.
AGENDA
Dietz
1.
490-766
Dietz answered questions regarding widening or deepening Ralston
Creek channel. Reason for Special Services portion of contract with
Willis was explained, such
2.
as soils testing fees, etc.
Re contract for legal services with Elderkin, on Freeway 518 matter,
deProsse suggested changing wording in N2, not using 'initially',
and substitute the following "This
wording for paragraph 2, resolution
shall constitute authorization by the City Council for
commencement
of litigation pursuant to the determination by outside counsel that
a basis for such litigation exists.", because Neuhauser will not be
present for the next three weeks to vote on such authorization.
Four councilmembers agreed.
3.
City Clerk Stolfus requested addition of four items to the Consent
Calendar, 24-hour notice being that
given so Council may take action.
Addition of cigarette permit, beer permit for Four Cushions, petition
for sewer from Melrose Avenue residents,and memo from City Engineer
regarding roof for Service Building. She
reported other changes in
procedure which will be needed to comply with the Open Meetings Law.
4.
Neuhauser suggested that for the Boards and Commissions where the
members have powers, they could be sworn in to their duties. Several
councilmembers agreed.
5.
Summer schedule, every two weeks, probably during July and August,
will be drafted by the Staff.

Informal Discussion
April 23, 1979
6. City Manager Berlin presented additional information on proposal for
Washington Street between Capitol and Madison. Two-lane street
would cost $24,000, and four -lane would cost $33,000. The street is
71 feet wide. The majority of Councilmembers agreed to take parking
off this portion and leave 45 feet, four 11 -foot lanes, and allow
planting in the remainder.
PUBLIC HOUSING PROJECT Seydel present. 766-1120
1. Memo in 4/2-0 packet noted, follow-up on cost analysis.
2. Neuhauser reported on letter written to Larry Simons, Assistant
Secretary for Housing, Housing Finance Commissioner, and FHA Commissioner
in Washington asking for a program change. If legislative changes
are needed, Council could work with Elaine Baxter at that time.
3. Seydel pointed out that the City must operate and maintain the
program on the rent collected, and demonstrated how he computes rent
and eligibility. Additional operating subsidy can be applied for
after the first operating budget. Also he has applied for 50 additional
Section 8 units. In the Housing Assistance Plan, our unmet need is
for units for large families.
4. A one-year extension of time to look for additional sites may be
requested from HUD. Fair market rents are published and established
for Johnson County as a whole, and this is why they are low for Iowa
City. Council could review sites they previously turned down.
Council agreed to requesting an extension.
5. Neuhauser stated that the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission
has gone on record as not endorsing the Regional Housing Authority
Plan (HAP). Seydel advised that the Regional Housing Authority
cannot participate in Iowa City without the Council's permission, as
a Housing Authority is already set up. They could operate without
Iowa City but in Johnson County, 72% of housing is in Iowa City.
Berlin suggested that Council should look at the whole question of
Eastern Iowa, and where the interests are. A letter has been sent
noting that we have no interest in HOP (Housing Opportunity Plan),
and why.
ENGINEERING CALENDAR FOR PROJECTS Dietz 1120-1235
1. Dietz presented the chart of projects. Several Councilmembers
wished to study it later. Projects are listed according to priority.
2. Plastino is exploring options re Grand Avenue/Byington, with the
University. Maybe the median can be taken out.
3. The Rocky Shore Bikeway is on 'hold' because of no Federal funding,
and if Council decides it is a high priority, maybe they could
reallocate funds.
APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS & COMMISSIONS 1235-1562
Mayor Vevera commented that vacancies for the Resources Conservation
Commission and the Board of Appeals would be readvertised. Regarding
consideration of applicants for the Senior Center Commission, Council
agreed that they would each vote for five persons, and if any five received
a majority of votes, they would be appointed, the persons receiving the
highest number of votes would be appointed to the three year terms. On

{ the first ballot Summerwill and Sando received five votes, Carlton
i Ambrisco and Williams received four votes. Council determined that
Summerwill and Sando would be appointed to the 3 -year terms, Ambrisco and
Williams to the 2 -year terms and Carlton to the one-year term, with the
I comment that Carlton would be reappointed to another term, after expiration
of this one-year term.
OTHER
I. Neuhauser suggested that a policy for street sweeping where there is
alternate parking should be explored. Berlin advised that more
equipment might be needed, especially with use of so much sand.
2. Council discussed how to enforce parking where regulations have been
changed by Council, but signs have not.
3. Mayor Vevera reported that he and David Perret had met with University
Heights Mayor Stehbens and Councilmembers Good and Breese. They
accepted the City's offer of $11,820 for bus service. Regarding the
Mutual Aid agreement for Civil Defense, they will furnish trucks and
endloaders. University Heights is planning to vacate Marietta and
Leamer but not Olive Court. There are only three inches of concrete
on these streets. The Neuzil tract can also be approached from
Woodside Drive, a private drive, except that in 1975, Iowa City shut
this access off by allowing the private drive for University Lake
Apts. The City could condemn this. Access is still available from
Olive Court. University Heights was interested in park acquisition,
not where Iowa City is discussing, but to the North.
4. Assistant City Manager Helling advised that he had given the Council
Legislative Committee a copy of the amendment to the legislation
regarding a tax break for corporations who are registering as coming
in. deProsse commented that there should be special thanks to Paul
Glaves for his analysis of the bills. Councilmembers agreed.
Helling advised that the City has had better cooperation from the
League. Neuhauser suggested that a letter of thanks be written to
the League stating that the Council has been better informed and has
had better communications this year. Berlin pointed out that Helling
had initiated a lot of that.
Meeting adjourned, 4:45 PM
