Comment:
This second renewal of the City's contract continues the present
/-35
level of SEATS service within Iowa City. The cost increases from
$31,748.91 to $37,655.07, due to a realignment of service hours,
which will result in more vehicle -hours of operation available
to Iowa City during peak periods. Part of this increase, how-
ever, will he offset by the greater fare revenues being credited
hack to the City. This service was included in the budget for
FY80 and is funded In part by State Transit Grant assistance.

MEMBERS PRESENT: Terry, Madsen, Pepper, Eskin

GUESTS PRESENT: Mr. Elliot Full
The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Pepper at 4:40 P.M.
It was moved by Terry and seconded by Madsen to approve the minutes
of the April 3, 1979 meeting as previously distributed. Approved
unanimously.
Madsen moved and Terry seconded that the Commission recommend that
the appropriate City staff commence immediately with external
advertising for the Broadband Telecommunications Specialist
position and that both internal and external applicants be
considered for the position at the appropriate times. Approved
unanimously.
Terry moved and Madsen seconded that the Commission recommend that
appropriate City staff amend the job description for the Specialist
to include under "Typical Duties":
7. Works with the public and City departments to assure use
of the access channels and
8. Pursues additional funding sources through research and
grant writing and
9. (This would be the same as b7 in the present job
description.)
and that all previous applicants should be informed of these changes
prior to any interviews. Approval was unanimous.
Terry moved and Eskin seconded that the Commission recommend that
appropriate City staff amend the job specifications for the
Specialist under "Knowledge and Abilities" to include: "Ability
and experience in television production is desirable." Approved
unanimously.
The Commission agreed that the draft of interview questions
proposed by the Human Relations Department is generally
inappropriate. The emphasis should be shifted away from complaint
handling and to work with the public in use of the access
facilities. The scenario should be deleted because the Commission

will establish procedures for handling complaints and this may not
be a major part of the job. The consensus was that the Commission
representatives in the applicant evaluation process, Eskin and
Washburn, make these concerns known to the Human Relations Depart-
ment as soon as possible.
Elliot Full of Hawkeye CableVision reported on the status of the
franchise implementation by the franchisee. There strand -mapper is
at work. Pole agreements are nearing completion. A general manager
has been hired and he is Mr. Bill Blough, formerly of Grand Forks
Cable in North Dakota. He should be full time by the end of May.
Some cable TV service should be received by some subscribers by
December, 1979. The head end location is almost set. The pace of
construction is expected to be 25 to 30 miles of cable per month.
One year from now the system should be substantially complete.
There is some difficulty in locating a tower site.
The Commission discussed a letter the City received from Joseph Day,
attorney for Eastern Iowa Cable Vision requesting a franchise from
Iowa City. A response will be sent indicating that the Commission
will consider the request pursuant to the ordinance as soon as their
bylaws and procedures for doing so are adopted. This will allow
them to handle such requests in a systematic fashion. Terry moved
that the remainder of the agenda be postponed until the next
meeting. Approved by consensus. The next meeting will be May 1,
1979, at 4:30 P.M. in the Civic Center Conference Room. Meeting was

Mike Kammerer, the engineer for Dean Oakes, indicated that they were not in total

prefer tighter radiuses.
After some discussion, the Commission suggested that the applicant and the staff
work together on a proposed alignment.

of Waldenwood Part 1, located in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Rohret

Forms' signs were non -conforming and would not have to be removed until 1981. To
ameliorate Quincet Square's problem with the sign requirements under the existing ordi-

Mr. Richard Blum

Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. Blum,
I am writing in support of Dean Oakest original proposal to
make the north end of Quincent a cul-de-sac. We own Lot 9
on Quincent and built the first house in this development.
The thing that attracted us to this area is the wooded and
quiet surrounding. I feel that a cul-de-sac would be most
conducive to continuing this atmosphere.
Regarding the alternative plan, as was pointed out at the
meeting of Planning and Zoning, a "stub" street is very
unattractive. The continuation of the proposed Foster Drive
is not included in the 5 year street plan of Iowa City. We
would therefore be living many years with a dead-end stub
street with no provision for a turnaround for garbage
trucks, snow plows, service trucks and general traffic. It
will certainly detract from owning the properties near the
end of the street if their driveways are used for a .
turnaround as well as create an unsafe traffic situation.
I would greatly appreciate you sharing this letter with your
fellow Committee members and also your favorable consideration
Of the cul-de-sac plan for our street.
Sincerely,
(Mrs.) Marilyn Holland

In the Matter of Fo$ter Road Extension
The undersigned, all of whom reside on or near Old Dubuque
Road, Quincent, Oakes Drive and Bristol Drive, hereby formally
petition and request that the portion of Foster Road shown as
lying between Prairie du Chien Road and North Dodge Road be deleted
from the Comprehensive Plan for Iowa City.
Foster Road is, apparently, to be a major cross-town arterial,
linking East and West Iowa City. However, a quick review of that
road shows that it starts in the middle of nowhere on the West and
merely provides a second alternative route on the East.
In the first place, we do not comprehend the rationale for
the road as a cross-town arterial when it is shown as merely
stopping at either a dead-end or some sort of turn -a -round.
Secondly, the proposed Foster Road link from Prairie du
Chien Road to North Dodge Street would serve no purpose which
could not be served by present streets. Prairie'du Chien Road
and North Dodge Street are already 'major traffic -bearing streets
through the City's North side, and we understand that present
plans call for the widening of North Dodge out to the Interstate
80 interchange. We believe that, without material inconvenience
to motorists and neighboring residents, traffic moving between
Northwest Iowa City and the East side could use Prairie du Chien
Road and North Dodge Street to reach the First Avenue or Scott
Boulevard extensions to North Dodge Street. Such routing would,
we submit, serve the purpose of a cross-town link, while at the
same. time allowing the preservation of the neighborhood in which
we live.
As each of you may know, the neighborhood in which the under-
signed live is a peaceful one, with small children playing safely
on the quiet streets and open lots. It is hard to imagine a quicker

way to destroy the neighborhood character than putting a major
traffic generating road in our midst.. We fail to see any material
benefit to the citizens of Iowa ,City from such a road, and believe
its only long-term effect will be to destroy a fine residential
area.
In summary, on the basis that there is no real need for the
Foster Road extension from Prairie du Chien Road to North Dodge
Street, and because we believe such a major arterial roadway would
destroy the peaceful character of our neighborhood, the undersigned
respectfully request that the Foster Road extension from Prairie
du Chien Road to North Dodge Street be forever deleted from the
Comprehensive Plan for Iowa City.

STAFF PRESENT: Conklin
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
Chairperson Lilly brought the meeting to order. The minutes of March 14, 1979
were discussed and Alexander moved to approve the minutes as written, Haupert
seconded. Minutes approved unanimously.
OFFICE•BUILDING LOT 1; BLOCK 102:
Dick Pattschull, representing the architect firm of Wehner, Nowysz, Pattschull and
Pfiffner presented the preliminary design plans for the Office Building Lot 1;
Block 102 located on Burlington and Dubuque Streets behind the proposed Mod Pod
building. The building will bean office condominium, not a residential condo-
minium. A open area will surround the entrance to attract attention to the
entrance. The middle area of each level will be a common area, housing restrooms
and elevators. The building will not have a basement level. Haupert asked if any
tenants had signed for space. Pattschull stated, letters of commitment have been
received to occupy approximately five floors. Two floors will be occupied by a
raquetball club. At this present time the architects are in the process of in-
corporating the project and writing the condominium agreement. Pattschull said
his firm would like to build eight floors, which is the highest the building can
be built without involving a dispute about air rights. The area which the architects
will occupy is 3,000 square feet. The cost of space is approximately $65.00 a
square foot for unfurnished space and $80.00 a square foot for furnished space.
A question was raised if further expansion would be needed after construction of
the building for additional tenants. Pattschull said if further construction would
take place the tenants in the building would have to agree because they would own the
building. The materials for the structure may be concrete with brick exterior unless
the Mod Pod building has a saxton brick exterior, then the condominium may have
a masonry exterior.
Lilly commented that the Committee did not have to approve or disapprove the plans
because the building was not on Urban Renewal land.
There will be two entrances, one on Dubuque Street and one on Burlington Street. A
solid wall will be between the Office Building and the New Process Cleaners.
Seiberling asked if there was going to be any solar units in the building. Pattschull
said there would not be any. A question was raised as to the parking situation and
Pattschull said parking would be available from the City lots but parking around the
building or underground would not be practical because of the cost involved.
The Committee thanked Dick Pattschull for his presentation.
NEW BUSINESS:
The Committee felt the temporary building by the Court House should be removed.
The Committee asked the staff to inquire about resigning Brian Gutheinz from the

GUESTS: Bea Bailey, Bob Downer
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL:
To approve the preliminary design plans submitted by North Bay Construction,
Inc. for parcel 82-1b, the Lucas Building located on College and Dubuque Streets.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
Chairperson Lilly brought the meeting to order. There were no minutes to approve
NORTH BAY CONSTRUCTION, INC.; PARCEL 82-1b:
Bailey introduced Bob Downer, the company's legal advisor, to the Design Review
Committee. Downer asked the Committee's permission to tape the meeting. The
Committee agreed to tape the meeting. Downer commented that he was hopeful
that a decision could be made at this meeting.
Bailey presented.a water color drawing of the proposed Lucas Building. He
explained the materials that will be used for the building. The brick for the
exterior of the building is a medium brown color. The area between the segmented
arches is Annamosa limestone. The limestone is a buff color which is similar
to portions of the College Block Building. The north wall next to the College
Block Building has been left all brick and the wall on the alley is brick. The
segmented arched windows will be framed by dark anodized aluminum with a brick
relief around the window arch. The office entrance will be a single door with
glass. A question was raised about signage for the tenants. Bailey said signs
will be on the limestone and will be letters mounted on uniform placards. The
lettering however may differ. Bronze tube lights mounted between the windows on
the brick will serve for exterior lighting of the building.
The basement and the first floor will be mainly used for commercial purposes: The
second floor will be office space. Lilly asked how many square feet was in the
building. Bailey said there was 5,325 square feet on the first floor. The air
conditioning units for the building will be located on the roof and the heat
would be hot water heat with the boiler located in the basement. Lilly inquired
as to where the trash would be located. Glaves said since the lot was entirely
covered, part of the basement would need to allocated for trash disposal. Bailey
said this matter needed to be looked into further. Seiberling said she was very
pleased and very excited about the building. Lafore said he felt the building
was distinquished.
Seiberling moved to approve the design for the Lucas Building and commend Norm
Bailey for his unswerving effort to serve the community in the sense to provide'
a very handsome compliment to the building in downtown. Alexander seconded,
motion carried unanimously.

OTHER BUSINESS:
Glaves commented that the plans for the old Frankel's building were not received
by the Planning department as yet but he would ask the Building department for
the plans.

Glaves said the only plans left to be approved by the Design Review Committee
.were the second parking ramp, which is similar to the first ramp, Streetscape
Phase II, and the Ecumenical Housing Project.
Haupert said Arie Kruse was concerned about the trees in the City Plaza because
of the drainage problem. 'Glaves said there was a concern about the calcium
deposit because it may harm some trees. The planters will be cleaned out and
additional soil added to the planters. A drainage pit will be under the tree
ball to provide extra drainage. Seiberling suggested to have some publicity'
about the tree planting in City Plaza. Neal Berlin, City Manager, asked Linda
Schreiber to carry this out. Schreiber said a newsletter will be mailed out
about every two weeks to keep the public informed of the progress in the
downtown area.
Seiberling suggested the Committee meet with store owners who need to remodel
the fronts of their stores. Berlin suggested a pamphlet be sent to the owners
and inform them that the Design Review Committee and the staff is willing to
help plan designs for their stores. Berlin asked Glaves to look into the
possibility of 312 loans for commercial uses. Seiberling suggested the Committee
to organize a design conference for downtown merchants.
Glaves' added that the developer for Anna's Place was going to bring in samples
for the Design Review Committee to review.

Dear City Council !!ember,
^!e are va,riting in the hope that this will. reach your heart,
conscience &spur you on to an rapid but :cell thought out plan.
The issue at the Fire Dept. with Linda Paton, is controversial as
we all know. I don't want to debate this. The biggest concern th^t
I have is that the people of Ioon City don't h^ve the opportunity
to say "We don't want our money spent in the court."
It scares all of us as self-respecting tax paying citizens, when
the city attorneys say that they are prepared to take this to the
supreme court. Whether or not this is true, it shows how prone
the city government is to spending hundreds of thousands of dollars
in a case they could very likely lose. It is only fair that if more
than 50% of the voters want the money spent, then it should be pursued.
If not, the fire dept. should be forced to reconsider this in the
conciliation period and not go to court.
Since we elected you people as our voice, then we feel. that you
should use your initiative and power that we have given you to stop
squandering of dollars. These funds could be efficiently used in
helping the elderly, the street repairs, the downtown project etc.

Dear Mr. Culver and Ms. Alloway:
Thank you for your recent letter to the City Council concerning the
Linda Eaton matter. The City has carefully considered all of your
concerns and has been extremely anxious to resolve the matter in a way
in which will not result in discriminatory work rules and will be consistent
with the City's obligations to other employees and the taxpayer under
the collective bargaining process of this state and other requirements
for operating an effective and efficient city government.
We will continue to seek resolution of this matter consistent with those
goals.
Sincerely yours,

In the Matter of Foster Road Extension
The undersigned, all of whom reside on or near Old Dubuque
Road, Quincent, Oakes Drive and Bristol Drive, hereby formally
i
Petition and request that the portion of Foster Road shown as
lying between Prairie du Chien Road and North Dodge Road be deleted
from the Comprehensive Plan for Iowa City.
Foster Road is, apparently, to be a major cross-town arterial,
linking East and West Iowa City. However, a quick review of that
road shows that it starts in the middle of nowhere on the West and
merely provides a second alternative route on the East.
In the first place, we do not comprehend the rationale for
the road as a cross-town arterial when it is shown as merely
stopping at either a dead-end or some sort Of turn -a -round.
Secondly, the proposed Foster Road link from Prairie du
Chien Road to North Dodge Street would serve no purpose which
could not be served by present streets. Prairie du Chien Road
and North Dodge Street are already major traffic -bearing streets
through the City's North side, and we understand that present
plans call for the widening of North Dodge out to the Interstate
80 interchange. We believe that, without material inconvenience
to motorists and neighboring residents, traffic moving between
Northwest Iowa City and the East side could use Prairie du Chien
Road and North Dodge Street to reach the First Avenue or Scott
Boulevard extensions to North Dodge Street. Such routing would,
we submit, serve the purpose of a cross-town link, while at the
same time allowing the preservation of the neighborhood in which
we live.
As each of you may know, the neighborhood in which the under-
signed live is a peaceful one, with small children playing safely

traffic generating road in our midst. We fail to see any material
benefit to the citizens of Iowa City from such a road, and believe
its only long-term effect will be to destroy a fine residential
area.
In summary, on the basis that there is no real need for the
Foster Road extension from Prairie du Chien Road to North Dodge

destroy the peaceful character of our neighborhood, the undersigned

MEMORANDUM
Date: April 24, 1979
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Brachtel, Traffic Engineer
Re: Parking Prohibitions on Oakcrest Street and on Woodside Drive
As directed by Section 23-16 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City, Iowa,
this is to advise you of the following action:
ACTION:
Pursuant to Section 23-234 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City, Iowa, the
City Traffic Engineer will direct that signs be erected along Oakcrest
Street and Woodside Drive so as to prohibit parking in the following
manners:
No parking anytime on the north side of Oakcrest Street from its
intersection with Sunset to its intersection with George Street,
No parking anytime on both sides of Oakcrest Street from its
intersection with George Street east to its westerly intersection
with Woodside Drive,
No parking anytime on the north side of Oakcrest from the west
intersection with Woodside Drive to its east intersection with
Woodside Drive. Additionally parking shall be prohibited at all
times on both sides of Woodside Drive from its westerly inter-
section with Oakcrest Street to its easterly end.
This action shall be taken on or shortly atter May 8, 1979.
COMMENT:
This action is being taken to correct a slight error that was listed in
memo N10 when Council considered parking prohibitions on 4/17/79.
We gave the Council a memo as if Oakcrest were a bus route for its
entire length. Actually the bus route leaves Oakcrest and goes onto
Woodside. This memo corrects that error and this should be the last
memo on parking for some time.

ANALYSIS
The primary concern to be taken into account with this development as well as
with subsequent subdivisions in this area is neighborhood street configuration
in conjunction with Foster Road. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends
that Foster Road be constructed as a secondary arterial street, the location of
which is still to be determined (see attached memo from Jim Brachtel). Re-
gardless of the location of Foster Road it is important that either Oakes Drive
or Quincent Street be extended to intersect with Foster Road. Because of the
uncertainties regarding the location of Foster Road and the extension of Oakes
Drive, Quincent Street should be extended to the north to provide access to that
area and in such a manner to allow the greatest flexibility in determining the
final alignment for Foster Road. It is difficult to determine at this time
whether the street should be a cul-de-sac or loop without the benefit of an
overall development plan which is acceptable to the City.
RECOMMENDATION
i
It is the staff's recommendation that the preliminary plat be denied. Upon
revision of the plat in conjunction with the concerns mentioned above and
correcting the deficiencies and discrepancies noted below, it is the staff's
recommendation that the preliminary plat be approved.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES
1. The location of the stormwater detention basin should be shown on the
location map.
2. Preliminary calculations and plans for the stormwater management basin
should be provided to the Engineering Division for their review and ap-
proval prior to the Commission's approval of the preliminary plat.
3. If the Commission decides that Quincent Street should be a cul-de-sac, then
a 10' right-of-way for a public walkway between lots 4 and 5 should be
provided.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 30, 1979
TO: Don Schmeiser, Senior Planner
FROM: James Brachtel, Traffic Engineer
RE: Oakes Second Addition
i
The submission of Oakes Second Addition presents an opportunity for the City to
set the course for the Comprehensive Plan's proposed Foster Road — First Avenue
secondary arterial link. In particular, the likelihood of the Foster Road link
between Highway 1 and Dubuque Street could be determined by this subdivision.
From a traffic perspective, the Comprehensive Plan's proposed link has great
conceptual appeal. It would provide an alternative to the existing through
street system. The existing system requires east -west moving vehicles to select
between narrow residential streets (Kimball Avenue and Ridge Road) or returning
to the core of the City (Dodge Street - Church Street and/or the Market/Jefferson
one-way couplet - Dubuque Street). While the existing system serves existing
development, future development could seriously overload today's through street
system.
I
If the concept of the Comprehensive Plan's east -west link is accepted, there
are some difficult questions to be resolved. The concerns of existing residents
need to be addressed as portions of the right-of-way which will be required are
held in parcels which will not be immediately (if ever) developed to higher
densities. The location of Foster Road should promote through traffic in a
most direct manner and minimize circuitous travel.
There are many issues other than the Foster Road alignment involved in the
review of Oakes Second Addition. However, Oakes Second Addition could have
significant impact upon the City's intention to implement this area of the
Comprehensive Plan as it was accepted. I would be most happy to discuss this
further with either yourself and/or the Planning and Zoning Commission.

ANALYSIS
Vehicular access is from both
Rohret Road and Mormon Trek
Boulevard.
The topography is gently sloping
to strongly sloping (2% to 14%).
The subject addition is a two lot subdivision and Planned Area Development plan
consisting of 67 condominium residential units. These units range in size from
2 to 5 bedrooms. The overall net density is approximately 6,700 square feet per
unit. One public street is being proposed (Walden Road) and all other streets
will be private.
According to the City's policy regarding construction standards for private
streets, the required pavement thickness should be six (6) inches of Portland
cement concrete (PCC) or eight (8) inches of asphaltic concrete. The applicant
is requesting that the Commission waive this requirement by allowing the private
streets to be constructed of asphaltic concrete with a thickness of seven (7)
inches. Both Engineering and Planning consider the six (6) inches of PCC or its
asphaltic equivalent to be a minimum and recommend that the Commission not waive
this standard for the subject development.
Another area of concern is the deadending of private streets. Both the En-
gineering Division and the Fire Chief are recommending that the private streets
not deadend and either be interconnected or some type of turnaround provided in
order to obtain adequate ingress and egress for fire, police, and garbage
pickup. In later conversations with the Fire Chief he indicated that the
ishorter courts did not seem to be as much of a problem as did Thoreau Court (the
approximate length of which is 240 feet).
I
Stormwater management for the subject development is proposed with a wet bottom
storage facility in the vicinity of Willow Creek west of Mormon Trek Boulevard
(see location map). Preliminary calculations and construction plans have been
submitted to both the Iowa Natural Resources Council and Engineering and are in
the process of being reviewed.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the staff's recommendation (also see attached memo from Engineering) that
the preliminary PAD and plat be denied. Upon revision of the PAD plan and plat
in conjunction with the concerns mentioned above and correcting the deficiencies
and discrepancies noted below, it is the staff's recommendation that the
preliminary PAD plan and plat be approved.

Re: Waldenwood Subdivision
Southgate Development Company has resubmitted the preliminary plat for
the Waldenwood Subdivision. Two major areas of concern (private drives
to be constructed with 7" asphaltic concrete cement and the deadending
of the private drives without any noticable turnarounds) have not been
dealt with by the developer. Due to these major problems and other
minor deficiencies, Engineering is recommending that the preliminary

change from RIA to RIB. Because of
the sewage capacity restraints in
the southside trunk sewer, the
rezoning was held up until the
preliminary plat of Pepperwood could be
submitted and approved. During the
interim, Midwest Development with-
drew as the developer and Southgate

Pepperwood project. The Planning

SPECIAL INFORMATION
Public utilities: Adequate water service is avail-
able. The southside trunk sewer
has capacity during dry weather but
surcharges in wet weather.
Public services: Sanitation service and police
and fire protection are available.
Transportation:
Vehicular access is from Sandusky
Drive and Keokuk Street.
Physical characteristics: The topography is gentle to rolling
with maximum slopes of 5%.
ANALYSIS
Capacity of the southside trunk sewer has been a primary concern of both the
Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council in their review of develop-
ment proposals in this area. At the time of the initial rezoning request (R1A to
i RIB) the Engineering Division investigated the trunk sewer's capacity and found
a surcharging condition during wet weather. Because the subdivision was
proposed at RIA density, both the Commission and the Council approved the pre-
liminary plat and the request to rezone to RIB conjunctively.
f The applicant has now submitted a Planned Area Development plan and a revised
preliminary plat of Pepperwood Parts 3 through 7 with the intention of
developing said parts with single family attached and detached housing. This
proposal increases the overall density of the development from the 61 dwelling
units per acre approved on the preliminary plat dated 8/9/77 to 84 dwelling
units per acre. At the Planning staff's request, the Engineering Division again
!j evaluated the southside trunk sewer's capacity and have replied in a memo
attached hereto. According to the memo, the Engineering Division finds the
I increase in density as requested in the subject proposal to be acceptable
assuming the undeveloped areas served by the sanitary sewer would not be
developed for more intense uses than presently permitted by zoning.
I
The extension of Keokuk Street and the regrading of an existing drainage ditch
are necessary public improvements to be included with this addition. The pre-
liminary plat, therefore, should be revised to include Keokuk Street to where it
presently terminates and additional notes should be added indicating the type of
improvements to be made to the existing drainage ditch located along the
northern boundary of Pepperwood.

The staff finds the plan layout to be very good. Attached and detached single
family uses are being integrated without opposing these uses across their front
yards.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 2, 1979
TO: Doug Boothroy, Assistant Planner /l
FROM: Charles Schmadeke, Assistant City Engineer
RE: Pepperwood, Parts 3-7 P.A.D.
The Engineering Division has received additional information on the
south side trunk sewer since our initial investigation in November
of 1977. This information pertains to the surcharged condition only
i
and is not firm data as to the causes.
A surcharged condition; it appears, will not occur with storms of
a 5 year intensity or less. However with more intense storms,
surcharging does occur and its causes are one or more of the following:
(1) infiltration; (2) back up from overloading at the treatment plant;
3) the Pine Street lift station pumping sewage into the south side
trunk sewer from the Rundell Street trunk sewer during overloading in
the Rundell Street trunk because of infiltration. The amount of
surcharge is also unknown at this time.
The three causes of surcharging the south side trunk sewer will be
eliminated when the new treatment plant is constructed and the Rundell
Street trunk sewer is renovated.
The Engineering Division will continue to recommend against rezoning
to a higher density within the service area of the south side trunk
sewer because of the unknown conditions, however the proposed P.A.D.
has less density than the RIB zone in which it is located so the
Engineering Division is not opposed to this development.

ANALYSIS
The Procter & Gamble manufacturing company is proposing additions and
improvements to its existing plan which includes a raw materials storage
building, a solvent storage, a visitor restroom and a "MCC" building. These
additions and improvements are to be accomplished within the boundaries of the
previously approved Procter & Gamble LSNRD (designated LSNRD no. 1). The
j preliminary and final plans which we are now reviewing (designated LSNRD no. 2)
when combined with documents submitted with LSNRD no. 1 are in substantial
compliance with the LSNRD provisions of Chapter 27, article 3, division II of
the Municipal Code. The Engineering Division staff indicates that existing
storm water detention facilities do not need to be expanded to accomodate the
proposed improvements.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is the staff's recommendation that action on the preliminary and final LSRD
No. 2 plans be deferred. Upon revision of the plan incorporating the
deficiencies and discrepancies listed below, the staff recommends the plan be
approved.

MEMORANDUM
Date: April 27, 1979
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Angela Ryan, Assistant City Attorney ati
Re: Ralston Creek Village
Facts
On March 15, 1979, the Board of Adjustment considered a request by
the owners of Ralston Creek Village for a special use permit pursuant
to Section 8.11.02.1203 to permit parking within 32.8 feet from
Ralston Creek in Flooding Overlay Zone.
Questions Presented
1. Was the Board authorized in granting the special use permit to
Ralston Creek Village?
2. Will the City be liable for property damage resulting from the
issuance of the permit?
Conclusions
1. Since evidence was presented by the applicant in support of the
issuance of the permit and since the Board is expressly
authorized to issue special use permits within the Floodway
Overlay Zone, the trial court may not substitute its judgment
for that of the Board.
2. A city is not liable for failure to assure that a building
project would not injure its neighbors before issuing a permit
for construction.
Discussion
Section 8.11.02.120 of the Code of Ordinances states: The following
uses may be permitted within a Floodway Overlay Zone upon approval of
a Special Use Permit: (3) Parking, loading areas and other similar
uses when located less than 32.8 feet from the stream bank.
Section 8.11.02.13E lists the factors which the Board must consider
in determining whether to grant a special use permit:
1. The probability that materials may be swept onto other lands or
downstream to the injury of others.
2. The proposed water supply and sanitation systems and the
ability of these systems to prevent disease, contamination and
unsanitary conditions.

rte,

The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to
flood damage and the effect of such damage to the individual
owner.
4. The availability of alternative locations not subject to
flooding for the proposed use.
5. The safety of access to the property in times of flood for
ordinary emergency vehicles.
6. The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise and
sediment transport of the floodwaters expected at the site.
The Board discussed these factors and considered primarily the
possibility that vehicles might be swept downstream. Board members
pointed out that parking is expressly provided for as a special
exception and therefore it must have been the intent of the Council
to allow this use under some circumstances.
The Board considered the standards set forth in Section 8.11.02.13B1
and made a finding that the proposed parking did not involve a
structure which would reduce the water storage area or impede the
stream flow, nor would it raise the grade. The Board imposed
conditions to reduce the risk of flood damage: signs in the parking
area, notice in the lease and a warning system in the apartment
building.
Section 414.15 of the Code of Iowa pr^vides that any person may
appeal a decision of the Board of Adjustment within 30 days by a
petition setting forth that its decision is illegal, in whole or in
part, specifying the grounds of the illegality. In appeals of
decisions of the Board of Adjustment, it has been held that a trial
judge could not substitute his judgment for that of the board in the
absence of arbitrary, unreasonable or capricious action by the
board, nor could the Supreme Court substitute its judgment for that
of the trial judge if his determination rested on substantial
evidence. The court also stated that there is a presumption of
regularity in the official acts of public officers, and, in the
absence of clear evidence to the contrary, courts presume that they
have discharged their duties. The board is presumed to have found
the existence of such facts as were necessary to sustain its action.
Had defendants presented no evidence, the court's decision would
have been otherwise. Johnson v. Board of Adjustment, 239 NW 2d 873,
887 (Iowa, 1976).
A review of Johnson and the cases cited therein indicate that the
court is reluctant to substitute its judgment for that of the Board.
It must be shown that the Board exceeded its authority or otherwise
acted illegally. Since the applicant, Ralston Creek Village,
submitted evidence in support of the special use permit, the City
would have a difficult burden to show that the Board acted illegally.

3 1.
With regard to the potential liability of the City as a result of the
issuance of the special use permit, the holding in Miller y Cof
Brentwood, 548 SW 2d 878 (Tenn 1977), would seem applicable. In
Miller, property owners in the lower part of a subdivision sought to
enjoin the City from authorizing or issuing any further building
Permits for projects which would increase the storm water drainage
flowing past or through their lots. Their principle argument was
that the City was legally responsible for the flooding nuisance
caused by the collective adverse impacts of projects which it
approved. The court noted that no authority was cited to support
this argument and stated that none was found by independent research.
"In spite of the recent propensity of some courts to undertake
to supervise and direct the activities of other branches of
govern ,hent, none has yet been so bold as to hold a local
government liable for failureto assure that a building project
would not injure its neighbors before issuing a permit for
construction. To initiate such a rule would make it necessary
in for every municipality to require indemnity bonds from builders
its for an
constructs stic n. In short, thebeforeamounts city would hereby thereby constituted
the liability insurers upon each building constructed by
permission of the city. Id, 882.

MEMORANDUM
Date: April 26, 1979
To: Neal Berlin and City Council
From: Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works
Re: Equipment Service Building Complex Impro e t Projects
Over the next several months and several years the City Council will be
considering many different sets of plans and specifications for improve-
ments to the service building.
In order that Council feels comfortable about these projects I did want
to give an overview of the entire project.
A few years ago we made a decision not to bond three to four million
dollars for a new complex. Instead, we chose to improve our present
facility in small incremental pieces. This approach makes it necessary
that we let many different contracts.
This summer the Council will be approving plans and specifications for
the following projects:
1. Sanitary sewer service line to pump station $25,000
Truck wash facility $55.000
Renovation of modular units $62,500
Sanitary Sewer Service Line. The sanitary sewer on Riverside Drive
is very shallow and we are not able to serve the interior of the
service building complex by hooking onto to this line. It is
necessary togo to the pump station that lies south of the service
building on Riverside Drive. This sanitary sewer line will serve
the 12,000 square foot addition now being built, the new truck
wash, and the .future transit facility.
Truck Wash Facility. The City presently has no facilities to wash
any vehicle larger than a automobile and pickup truck. The City is
incurring high depreciation costs due to salt corrosion on all
sheet metal and all operating equipment including salt spreaders,
hydraulic components, frames, body panels, chains, hydraulic mechan-
isms, etc.
Renovation of Modular Units. This will complete the modular units
that were transferred from Clinton Street. After we are completely
done with the modulars we will have the equivalent of a 40 -year
building at a cost of from $20 to $25 per square foot. This is
very reasonable.

Fuel Island Facility. The gas and diesel pumps are scattered all
over the service building yard and the gas pump is located in one
of the most congested parts of the yard. The new fuel island
facility will serve both Transit and the rest of the equipment
fleet. It will be located in a position so that vehicles will be
able to move into the fuel island area without blocking traffic in
the rest of the service complex. We will put in larger storage
tanks and the fuel island will be covered.
Vehicle Storage Buildings. At the present time the City has no
covered storage. We have rented the 4-H grounds building the last
few years but this is very uneconomical. We lose time moving back
and forth from the 4-H grounds and our heating bills have been
running approximately $500 per month during winter weather. All of
our salt spreaders and garbage trucks as well as most of the City's
equipment operates with hydraulic equipment. Hydraulic equipment
does not work well on winter mornings when the temperature is from
zero to 30 degrees below zero.

I suspect that the employees at the service building complex, the City
staff, and perhaps even the City Council are frustrated with the seem-
ingly slow progress of the equipment service building construction. To
put things in perspective it may help to remember that not one single
thing was done to the service building complex from the time it was
built in 1957 until about 1976. We are taking the lowest cost approach
to renovate a 20 year old facility that received no periodic maintenance
during the life of the facility.
City. Council is doing the right thing from the viewpoint of the tax-
payers and the viewpoint of the City staff and employees. Facilities
are being constructed which will allow us to provide services to citi-
zens under reasonable working conditions. We have not bonded a three to
four million dollar structure; instead we will provide a facility for a
total cost of approximately $800,000. The only deficiency is the long
time span necessary to accomplish this in a piecemeal fashion.

FROM: Paul Glaves, Development Coordinator Ffh
RE: North Bay Construction, Inc.
1. Two resolutions relating to Urban Renewal Parcel 82-1b, to be developed by North
Bay Construction, Inc., are included on the agenda for the Council meeting of
May 1. The two resolutions are: (a) A Resolution Authorizing and Directing
the City Clerk to Publish Notice of Intent to Accept a Proposal to Purchase and
Redevelop Certain Urban Renewal Property, and (b) A Resolution Approving the
Preliminary Design Plans for Redevelopment on Urban Renewal Parcel 82-1b.
Several weeks ago, the Council deferred action on the Resolution to Publish
Notice of Intent to Accept a Proposal because of unresolved design review
questions.
Mr. Bailey, the redeveloper of Parcel 82-1b, has on several occasions presented
preliminary design plans for. consideration by the Design Review Committee. The
Design Review Committee again reviewed revised preliminary design plans for this
development at their meeting of April 25. At that meeting, the Design Review
Committee unanimously approved the preliminary design plans for this parcel. The
minutes of the April 25 Design Review Committee meeting are included in .the agenda
materials

Monday afternoon, Aprila30eytolshow ethe epreliminary designplansand artist rendering to the City Council during the Council discussion of agenda
items. The staff recommends adoption of the Resolution Approving the Preliminary
Design Plans for Redevelopment on Urban Renewal Parcel 82-1b.
2. The other resolution, Authorizing and Directing the City Clerk to Publish Notice
Of Intent to Accept a Proposal to Purchase and Redevelop Certain Urban Renewal
Property, authorizes the City Clerk to publish notice of the Cit intent to
enter into a redevelopment contract with North Bay Construction, Inc. As the
notice attached to the resolution states, the contract, the redeveloper's
statement for public disclosure, and the'
Construction, full proposal received from North Bay
Inc. in 1977 will be on file for public inspection in the Office
of the City Clerk until June S. 1979. On that date I will schedule Council
consideration of a Resolution Authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to Execute
the Contract for Sale of Land for Private Development with North Bay Construction,
Inc.
North Bay Construction hopes to begin construction of this development this fall.
The contract, however, would not require a 'construction start until spring of
next year. The staff recommends adoption of the Resolution Authorizing and
Directing the City Clerk to Publish Notice of Intent to Accept a Proposal to
Purchase and Redevelop Certain Urban Renewal Property.
3. I will be glad to discuss either of these matters with the City Council at the
informal session on April 30.

to the Property, whether by voluntary act of the Redeveloper or
otherwise. For the purposes of such mortgage financing as may be
made pursuant to the Agreement, the Property may, at the option of
the Redeveloper (or successor in interest), be divided into several
parts or parcels, provided that such subdivision, in the opinion of
the City, is not inconsistent with the purposes of the Urban Renewal
plan and the Agreement and is approved in writing by the City.
SECTION 602. MORTGAGEE NOT OBLIGATED TO CONSTRUCT. Notwithstanding any

construed to permit or authorize any such holder to devote the
Property or any part thereof to any uses, or to construct any
improvements thereon, other than those uses or improvements provided

Improvements, nothing contained in this Section or any other
Section of the Agreement shall be deemed to permit or authorize
such holder, either before or after foreclosure or action in lieu
thereof, to undertake or continue the construction or completion of
the Improvements (beyond the extent necessary to conserve or protect
i Improvements or construction already made) without first having
expressly assumed the obligation to the City, by written agreement
satisfactory to the City, to complete, in the manner provided in

who shall properly complete the Improvements relating to the
Property or applicable part thereof shall be entitled, upon written
request made to the City, to a certification or certifications by
the City to such effect in the manner provided in Section 305 of
the Agreement, and any such certification shall, if so requested by
such holder mean and provide that any remedies or rights with
respect to recapture of or reversion or revesting of title to the
Property that the City shall have or be entitled to because of
failure of the Redeveloper or any successor in interest to the
Property, or any part thereof, to cure or remedy any default with
respect to the construction of the Improvements on other parts or

collection and application of rentals and other income received
during foreclosure proceedings); (ii) all expenses with respect to
I the foreclosure; (iii) the net expense, if any (exclusive of general
overhead), incurred by such holder in and as a direct result of the
subsequent management of the Property; (iv) the costs of any Improve-

instrument creating an encumbrance or lien upon the Property or
part thereof, the City may at its option cure such default or
breach, in which cases the City shall be entitled, in addition to
and without limitation upon any other rights or remedies to which
it shall be entitled by the Agreement, operation of law, or other-
wise, to reimbursement from the Redeveloper or successor in interest
of all costs and expenses incurred by the City in curing such

Re:
Davis -Bacon Act
Some months ago I wrote a letter to the Iowa Congressional Delegation
indicating the adverse influence which the Davis -Bacon Act has upon
governmental costs and efforts to fight inflation. The problem is
vividly demonstrated by the attached.
The City contracted for a lighting installation in Mercer Park and
neglected to include Davis -Bacon requirements. As a result HUD required
that the additional payments be made after completion of the contract.
The total additional payments as indicated represent more than a 100%
increase in the labor costs.

CALCULATIONS
The following calculations are based on Wage Decision 1A76-4148, dated
September 10, 1976. Two separate wage rates were used in determining
the wages which should have been paid to each of 12 workers employed by
Shay Electric Company in relation to work done on the CDBG-funded
tennis court lighting contract. First the wage rate for electricians
under the category Building Construction and secondly, the wage rates
for Group 4 Laborers categorized under Heavy and Highway Construction.
They were assigned to appropriate workers depending on whether they
were electricians or laborers. Using these wage rates and multiplying
by the number of hours each worker worked on the project we made a
determination of how much money each worker would have been paid had he
been paid according to fair labor standards wage rates and subtracted
from that amount the amount each worker was actually paid to arrive at
the amount we still owed each worker. Using this method we determined
that the total amount still owed to the 12 workers was $10114.17. The
table below lists all affected workers and the exact figures used to
calculate the amount owed to each of them. The columns numbered .one
through 6 are categorized as follows:
1. The number of hours each worker actually worked.
2. The rate of pay at which each worker was actually paid.
3. The total amount each worker was initially paid.
4. The Fair Labor Standards wage rate for each worker.
5. The amount each worker would have been paid had he been paid
according to the Fair Labor Standards wage rate.
6. The amount owed to each worker (column 5 minus column 3).

Dear Susan:
Rather than reply in detail to your letter of March 20, I believe it
would be advantageous for us to meet informally to discuss those matters
and the other concerns you might have relating to the City. Please let
me know if such a meeting would be convenient.

the Recreation Department has accommodated all of the women's teams that
have indicated an interest in participating in the program this year.
On future occasions where there are men's and women's activities public
information will indicate that there will be equal opportunities and
facilities to accommodate both men and women.
For some years the City has provided opportunities which have encouraged
the women's University softball team, although such facilities have not
been provided for the men's teams. The City is pleased to assist you in
this matter and hope that you will bring simi

To: Mace Bravennan, Chair, Human Rights Commission
From: Susan R. Hester, President, Johnson County/Iowa City NOW
As you know, Johnson County/Iowa City NOW wrote Neil Berlin regardinc
Possible discrimination in the Iowa City Softball League program. In
that letter I stated that I would not contact Dennis Showalter as I
had planned since it appeared that the City was aware of the situation
in the Parks and Recreation Department. I explained at that time that
I was not filing a formal complaint of sex discrimination. I did request
a clarification of the role, jurisdiction, and complaint procedures of
the Human Rights Commission. It has now been a full week and I have not
had any response from the City.
until the role of the Human Rights Commission can be clarified, I am
appealing to you, as Chair of the Commission, to intervene in this matter.
Our goal is equity in the softball program in Iowa City. Whether that
can really happen this year is doubtful; it is likely that many of the
women who were ready to play on teams that were turned away in Iowa City
have now gone to Coralville and Cedar Rapids toloin other teams.
Despite this possibility, the City does have an obligation to make a
good that sometteamsort willonotrbect the availableuatin this foroyear--even knowing
a belated registration. Hopefully
the effort made this year would set a standard for next year as well.
Softball season opens next week. If a formal complaint is necessary to
expedite this matter I need to know that in order to proceed. But, Please
understand that our preference would be to see this issue settled by the
City without a formal complaint. We will wait until April 27th for a
decision from the City.
I do hope that you can be instrumental in bringing this issue to a speedy
and equitable closure.
Thank you.

CITY OF IOWA CITY
CIVIC CENTER- 410 E. WASHINGTON ST. - IOWA CITY IOWA 52240 (319) 354.180D
April 26, 1979
Mr. Myles N. Braverman, Chairperson
Human Rights Commission
Iowa City Civic Center
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mace:
I understand from Angela Ryan that the Human Rights Commission is
considering seeking a legal opinion as to whether or not the Commission
may receive complaints from City employees as to employment discrim-
ination and process them in the same fashion as complaints against other
employers. As legal advisor to the Commission I think it would be
appropriate for me to express my views on that matter.
It is certainly true that the City is included in the definition of
"employer" Section 18-1 of the City code. However, I do not believe
that that answers the question as to the authority of the Commission to
investigate and formally process complaints against the City. The
powers of the Commission are expressed in Section 18-17 of the City
code. As I read that section the powers of the Commission with respect
to the City are basically advisory. Thus subsection 8 of that section
authorizes the Commission to make recommendations to the City Manager
and City Council regarding affirmative action programs and fair employ-
ment procedures. Nowhere in the ordinance do I find any authorization
for the Commission to assume direct control over the personnel practices
of the City.of Iowa City.
Indeed, Section 4.04.of the Iowa City Charter specifically grants to the
City Manager of Iowa�City the authority to supervise and direct the
administration of the City government and the conduct of employees
". subject to State law." It would be in conflict with this basic
separation of responsibilities for the Commission, which is appointed by
the City Council, to assume more than an advisory role with respect to
City administrative policies.
There are several practical difficulties which would make assumption of
the authority sought unwise in my opinion. First of all, the staff
persons assisting the Commission are all subject to the supervision and
direction of the City Manager, the same person whose personnel policies
would presumably be under question. Further the Human Rights ordinance
contemplates that the City Attorney assume a role in the investigation
of any complaint, that the City Attorney make recommendations to the
R::
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS•DFS Id0R1ES
Commission, and finally that the City Attorney represent the Commission
at any hearing and in connection with any litigation. Of course the
City Attorney also has the responsibility of representing the City
Council and the City Manager and advising the City Manager on personnel
matters. It might be suggested that a solution to that problem is to
hire outside investigators and outside legal counsel. However, I do not
believe that that is an acceptable solution. For one thing any outside
investigator or any outside attorney would still have to be compensated
by the City Council. I would certainly not recommend to the Council
that they grant the Commission a blank check for expenditure of funds
for investigation and litigation. However, unless such a blank check
were issued the conduct of the investigation and subsequent litigation
would be subject to City Council control and direction at least in-
directly.
1 The City has in recent past received graphic demonstration of the
problems inherent in the type of procedure and authority sought. A few
years ago the Commission attempted to investigate a complaint by a
former City employee against the City. The Commission proceeded to
5 investigate the complaint and found probable cause against the City.
C When conciliation did not progress to the satisfaction of the com-
plainant the complainant brought suit against both the City and the
Commission in Federal court and testified there that she believed the
1• City and the Commission were working together to discriminate against
her. In defense of this case because of the potential conflicting
interests of the City and:the Commission it was necessary to employ
outside counsel to defend the Commission on the charge of discrimina-
tion. The potential for such misunderstandings and such accusations
would, I believe, exist potentially in any situation in which the Com-
mission, which is a part of the City, attempts to handle a formal com-
plaint.
3 From a practical standpoint also it seems to me that it is totally
unnecessary for the Commission to handle complaints against the City.
c Any person employed by the City who feels aggrieved by a personnel
decision of the City administration has several remedies available to
him or her. Employees covered by Civil Service have all of the pro-
tections and hearing rights granted by the Civil Service statutes.
Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements have the extensive
procedures and protections provided by those agreements. Further, all
employees of the City have the right to seek the intervention of the
State Civil Rights Commission. All City employees have the right to
seek the assistance of the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commis-
sion. It should also be noted that the findings of any of the agencies
mentioned above are subject to judicial review providing further pro-
tection for the aggrieved employee.

Proposed Boat Ramp at Sturgis Corner
t i
r information prior to the meeting with the Riverfront Commission
ks and Recreation Commission on Monday April 30 here are some
pros and cons of providing a boat ramp and parking for fishermen
location.
location provides parking and boat launching facilities for fishinE
ivities.
location provides a boat launching facility for emergency rescue
prations below the Burlington Street dam.
3. The location provides fishing access in one of the best fishing areas
along the Iowa River.
4. This is a suitable use of riverfront land to be dedicated to the City
in cooperation with a private developer.
5. The project provides'the only usable boat ramp within the City limits.
6. The project benefits particularly elderly persons who fish regularly
and can not scramble down banks.
7. The project provides a recreational activity for which there is little
existing access to the river.
8. The project is supported by local fishermen and the Iowa City Fire
Department.
9. The whole area is intended as a low maintenance area.
10. Matching funds are available from the Iowa State Conservation Commission
Marine Fuel Tax funds.
{. In addition Phase II of the Iowa River Corridor Study strongly recommends
Provision for access to the river, boat ramps, river buffer land acquisition
and cooperation with private developers (see pages 4, 9, 28, 54).
CONS:
i
-. 1. There will be some maintenance cost involving trash picku
of the ramp•and parking area and occasional patrolling. p' maintenance
2. The possibility of increased riverbank erosion will be largely offset
by constructing the ramp at an angle and placing some rip rap along
the .river as -recommended by the State Conservation Commission.
3. At very high or very low water levels the ramp may not be usable.
4. The facility will encourage increased fishing activities in that
stretch of the river particularly near the Burlington Street dam where
the currents sometime make fishing dangerous.
S. The Parks and Recreation Commission would prefer a ramp in Napoleon
Park.

access in the three main portions of the River Corridor as outlined in the
Iowa•River Corridor Study.
It is my understanding that State Conservation Commission funds are available
annually as matching funds for boating projects, and could be applied for
when construction of a ramp in Napoleon Park becomes feasible after the
completion of South Gilbert Street.
There is one additional potential problem. Under regulations affecting the
FY 79 CDBG program, direct benefit to low and moderate income persons is
emphasized for each project. The overall CDBG program is required to show
that of all persons benefitting 75% are of low and moderate income. Even
though there are many .elderly persons who fish, and other persons who use
the fish to cut down on their food budgets, our performance report in 1980
is likely to show a percentage well below 75% for benefit.to low and moderate
income persons for this project (although we will be in compliance with the
overall 75% benefit requirements). When HUD reviews the. performance record
they could find this project ineligible and the City would then have to find
an alternative source of funds for the $16,000.
The $75,000 Riverfront Improvements allocation was made as part of the 100
local option amendment the City is permitted to make to its annual CDBG
budget without filing an official amendment with HUD. If HUD in its audit
findings permits the local option funds to be spent for this and other
riverfront projects we have no problem.

Re: Permit Parking in Grand Daddy's Lot l "
We started selling permits for this lot in mid-February but the response
has been less than overwhelming as we have sold only four permits to
date for that lot. In spite of the fact that we did contact by phone
all those who were on the waiting list for our other permit lots (134
individuals) in February, and the fact that we have placed ads in the
Press -Citizen, Daily Iowan and Shopper both in February and late in
March, and the fact that the monthly rate is $9.00 as compared to
$12.00 for all other permit lots, interest in the lot is just non-
existent. I would attribute part of this lack of interest to the free
parking available and being heavily used in the lot east of the Rec-
reation Center.
The objective in leasing the Grand Daddy's lot was to provide additional
long-term parking for the C.B.D. area. However, it is evident that
either the demand for such parking does not exist or the location of the
lot makes other alternatives more attractive. It was not the City's
intent to make a profit on the rental of the lot but at least 34 permits
must be sold per month to break even. For the above reasons, I feel
that the lease should be terminated. I have discussed this with Paul
Glaves and he concurs in my recommendation and will discuss with the
Legal staff the possibility of breaking the lease. If we proceed in
this direction, we need to move fast and avoid having to pay another
month's rental on the lot. The four current permit holders will be
notified and given the opportunity to transfer to another permit lot.

RE: Monthly Disbursement Listing
Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric, $32,253.10
This expenditure shbuld have been broken down between the General
Fund and Enterprise Funds as follows:
General Fund $18,315.25
Enterprise Funds 13,937.85
TOTAL $32,253.10
This listing was corrected prior to publication in the newspaper
and the fund totals were changed accordingly.
Travel Disbursements
We used to have one employee manually listing all expenditures and
then we had that listing typed for Council and newspaper publication.
This whole process of listing, typing and proofing took about 56
hours or seven days of employee time per month. During this fiscal
year, we were able to get a computer listing in the correct format
and only had to have the listing typed which saved about 48 hours
of employee time. For the month of March we have gotten the computer
listing refined to a point where, by reducing it on the copier, we
hope to be able to have it ready for publication in the newspaper
by spending less than an hour of employee preparation time. It is
not possible to use computer generated listings and also'add employee
names to all travel and/or airline disbursements. If this is required,
it will be necessary to manually add the information to the listings.
which could be quite a time consuming task. Expenditure listings can

1. To conduct follow-up on enrollees, discussing work per-
formance, school attendance, and related areas.
2. To provide information to enrollees in reference to secur-
ing jobs in the private sector along with securing employ-
ment during the summer months.
Methods
1. The Director and Assistant Director will visit jobsites
and -conduct "on-going" evaluations of enrollee perfor-
mance by meeting with jobsite supervisors and enrollees.
2. On-going evaluations of enrollees job skills and assess-
ment of job skills will occur in relation to availability
of jobs in the private sector.
Summar,u
As stated in the February report, the Mayor's Youth Employment
Program is in the process of increasing the enrollment due to a
carry over of funds from previous months.
This increase will include between eight and ten additional enroll-
ees. Recruiting new enrollees is an on-going process as current
enrollees are encouraged to seek employment in the private sector.
In regards to the 1hree terminations during the month of March,
one enrollee was hired at her jobsite independent of the Mayor's
Youth Employment Program on a permanent part-time basis. The
second enrollee was terminated as he was involved with delinquent
activity and the third enrollee voluntarily terminated from the
program due to conflicts with her school activities.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAI, ACTIONS TAKEN
Linda Schreiber the chairperson. opened the meeting for
discussion at 4:00. Linda Schreiber reported on the meet-
ing between Bernie Barber, Tom Miskimen, Director of Hacap
iand herself, The meeting was to clarify issues in regards
to summer youth programs. Tom Miskimen informed them that
WEP-- Work Experience Program is a seperate youth program
and it is our understanding that the program will begin
as soon as staff, people are employed to recruits. The
Mayor's Youth Program will not be switching any enrollees
over. In regardes to Summer Ceta Linda Schreiber felt
it was her impression that all due consideration would
be given to the Mayor's Youth Staff for employment with
Summer Ceta. Marylee Dixon and Dawn Judish reported that
they had sent in applications but had not received any
communications from Hacap. Linda Schreiber will be
contacting Tom Miskimen to clear up the issue.
The second item of business discussed was the amending
of the by-laws. A copy of the amendment was circulated,
Discussion followed in regards to board members not attend-
ing at a regular basis. Linda Schreiber is going to check
into the city policy and a letter will be sent by
the mayor to the non -attending members, Reverend Holzhammer
moved to amend the by-laws. Marian Karr seconded the motion.
The motion was past.
Judy Kelly motioned that a letter be sent to the City
Council asking the Council to make recommindation to the
State Legislators to increase funding of M,Y.E.P, be-
cause of anticipated increases in minimum wage, Reverend
Holzhammer seconded.
The last item of business was reported on by Marylee
Dixon. She informed the board about a telephone conver-
sation with Roger Hoffman with Hospital Schools. Roger
was interested in setting a specific number of slots
aside for youth in the hospital schools. He was also inter
ested in job sight development that handicapped people
would be eligible for. Marian Karr questioned the idea
in regards to authority. She was wondering who would
have the authority over the youth if a problem arose. After

Suit About Trash -to -Energy Plan' Ohio
Couhl Have Broad Effects on Financing
By BYRON KLAPPER
R'pa' to/TICWALL STRLLT JOURNAL
Converting trash to energy, a promising
development in an era of scarce fuel, faces
a key test In Ohlo that could affect the fl -
Dancing of billions of dollars of waste -recov-
ery plants currently on the drawing boards.
Trash handlers In Akron, In an unusual
action scheduled for trial In federal court
next month, will attempt to overturn a local
law requiring delivery of all their garbage
to the city. Without that trash, a steam -gen-
erating plant opening there next fall may
have trouble meeting projected revenue.
That could affect the flow of cash backing
S46 million of revenue bonds sold in 1976 to
build the plant.
"It's no longer garbage. It's fuel and it
has value, and hat's what this case Is all
about," sold William C. Brashares, partner
in the Washington law firm of Cladouhos &
Brashares. Mr. Brashares represents sev-
eral trash haulers, landfill operators and a
recycling company that are suing the city.
Akron's law department said no one was !
available to comment on the case.
The suit highlights one of the many legal
and technical problems that have stymied
rapid development of this potentially useful
energy source. The General Accounting of.
flee, in a report to Congress In February,
Identified 131 solid -waste energy projects In 1
the U.S. Of those, 20 are In operation, 10 are
under construction, 30 are being planned
and 71 are In preliminary study.
Energy Savings
"If these 131 projects were to become
operational by 1965, they could process a
about 36 million tons -1675 of urban waste
produced—and the nation could realize en-
ergy savings equal to over IOD,000 barrels of a
Oil daily," the GAO said.
Financing he capital cost of plant con- a
str ction has been a barrier to developing a
the waste -to -energy systems. "prospective 1
economic return on Investments has been
too low to attract equity capital," govern- a
ment accountants said. That view Is echoed

said Charles A. Ballard, senior vice presi-

not In tremendous volume."
While data on future financing Is hard to

erty of California's Solid Waste Manage-
ment Board, The six probably would be fi-
nanced with bond sales by the California

The Akron case raises a new element of
uncertainty, however. "Akron could have an
Impact," Mr. Hagerty sold. "We're watch.
-
ng the case to see haw the outcome might
affect these projects."
Sales of Steam
Akron's plant has been financed with $46
million of revenue bonds Issued by the Ohio
Water Development Authority, a state
agency. Payment of the bonds Is backed by
ales of steam, fees charged to dump waste.
and sales of metals, glass and other recycle-
bles. Under 25 -year contracts with B.F.
Goodrich Co, and other customers, steam
ales next year will account for 7675 of oper-
ting revenue. lumping fees will produce
6% and sale of recycleables 675.
Income must equal at least 150% of the
nnual debt service on the bonds, That
means raising dumping fees or rates on
team as needed.
"If the project falls to receive an ade-
uale supply of solid waste ... project rev-
nues could be adversely affected," the
bond sale prospectus says.

To assure a fuel suPPIY the contested or
dinance was P=ly
month before the
bond sale. It requires all licensed rubbish
haulers to dump solid waste at the plant.
The suit, filed In February 1978, charges
the city with depriving haulers of various
rights under the Constitution, Among them
are taking property without just compensa-
tion, unlawfully attempting to regulate busi-
ness, and Interfering with interstate com-
merce.
The city is expected to defend the ordi-
nance under Its so-called pollee powers to
Protect the public health and safety. Legal
sources say the city can claim the project
serves the public Interest by disposing of
waste and creating needed energy.
Other wastedo-energy projects have
avoided a showdown with haulers using
other methods to acquire rubbish.
"The most common method Is by con-
tracts with commuNdes or private compa.
nies to assure supply over the long-term,
"rather then by mdhtanoe," said Mr. Bras -
hares.

This construction season promises to be an exciting timel Continued growth and
development will mean a revitalized downtown area. So YOU will know what's
happening in your downtown, the Plaza Preview is being published. The appearance
of future issues will be keyed to developments and events in the downtown area.
PARDON OUR PROGRESS
Sidewalk superintendents will want to watch the progress of the construction activity
in the Central Business District (CBD). Contracts for eleven urban renewal parcels
have been executed with two more, the hotel site and the North Bay Construction,
contracts being negotiated.
Construction is complete on three parcels. Hawkeye Barber Stylist, 124 Clinton
Street, College Block Partners (Bushnell's Turtle) in City Plaza, and Pentacrest
Garden Apartments, West Court Street.
i
The Mod Pod office building at the SW corner of Dubuque and Burlington Streets,
and Perpetual Savings and Loan's new offices at Clinton and Dubuque Street are
under construction at this time.
Construction on the five additional parcels is expected to start by mid -summer. You
can watch the elderly housing project located at Dubuque and Court Street (Capitol
States Associates); the First Federal Savings and Loan new offices at Dubuque and
Court Streets; the new home of Anna's Place at Madison and Court; North Bay
Construction's retail/office building at the corner of Dubuque and College and Old
Capitol Center, bounded by Clinton, Washington, Capitol and Burlington Streets
appear before your very eyes. In addition to the private developments in the
downtown, the City will undertake six major capital improvement projects this
summer. Two of the projects started last year, City Plaza and Capitol Street Parking
Ramp, will be completed this summer. Four new projects will also begin: Streetscape
II, a project to rebuild and improve Capitol, Clinton, and Washington Streets over a
two year period; a second parking facility on Dubuque Street at Burlington;
remodeling of the Old Post Office into a Senior Center; and constructing a new
Library at the east entrance to City Plaza. You will receive more details on these
projects in later publications.
Johnson County will also be in the construction business. A public hearing
advertising for bids on the new jail was held April 18. Architect Roland Wehner
hopes to break ground on June Ist.
CleanUP CAMPAIGN FOR IOWA CITY
The Chamber of Commerce presented a major public awareness campaign to stop
littering locally to the City Council at the April 5th informal Council meeting.
Michelle Fisher, Chamber representative, told the Council that Iowa Citians will be
attending a "Clean Community System" workshop sponsored by Keep America
Beautiful later this month. This program hes resulted in major reductions in litter in
communities throughout the country.
Extensive community organization will follow the workshop. Systematic local litter
surveys, a city wide cleanup and community education activities are planned, Fisher
stated.
The campaign is being organized by the Chamber and other civic groups including
the Downtown Association and Project Green. University of Iowa and City officials
are helping coordinate activities. Fisher feels the success of the program will depend
on total community involvement.
This program's goal to reduce litter in our community by 60 per cent complements the
county's and the state's efforts to reduce litter in Iowa.

COMPLETING CITY PLAZA
City Plaza is nearly finishedl Watch the flurry of activity in City Plaza this spring
as crews busily complete the final touches.
Work on this two-year project is expected to be complete in early July. The
contractor has approximately fifty working days remaining on the contract. Working
days do not count weekends or inclement weather.
Most of the work done last year was reconstructing complex sewer and utility
connections underground. The projects that remain are visible above ground.
For your enjoyment, greenies and growies will be planted this spring in the timber
rail boxes throughout the 3� block pedestrian area. Pleasant Valley Nursery expects
to begin planting trees and shrubs this month and finish in early June.
Bricks will be laid store front to store front paving the concrete sub -street that
winds through the Plaza to carry emergency vehicles.
In three locations in City Plaza, kiosks will aid pedestrians. The word "kiosk"
originates in Turkey and Persia where it is an open summerhouse or pavillion. In
Iowa City these multi -sided buildings will contain a directory, drinking fountains,
mail box, telephone and a bulletin board for public notices.
Clusters of street furniture and trash receptacles designed to complement Washington
Street are being set into position. Bike racks will be located at each entrance to the
Plaza.
CAPITOL STREET PARKING RAMP
The completion of this parking facility at Burlington Street will expand available
shopper parking in the CBD by 900 spaces.
The $3.7 million facility designed by Carl Walker and Associates, Minneapolis, and
constructed by Viggo M. Jensen Construction, Coralville, is expected to be ready to
park vehicles by September 15. Which just happens to coincide with the HAWKS
opening home football game.
Parking spaces for 60 motorcycles and bicycles will also be located in the ramp.
Vehicles can enter the ramp from Clinton or Capitol Streets. Exit may be made onto
Capitol Street. Shopper parking will cost 25a per hour.

Urban Revitalization
Last week the House concurred in the Senate amendments to HF 81 and sent the bill to
the Governor for his signature. Barring any unexpected developments this bill will
become effective July 1. As passed the bill would allow a city which wishes to
encourage the upgrading of deteriorating areas within its corporate limits to do so
by authorizing a partial tax exemption on property improvements. It also allows the
use of federally tax exempt industrial revenue bonds.
Final Three Weeks of Session
At this writing the leadership in both houses are still committed to May 11 as the
date certain for legislative adjournment. Last week the House "dumped" the majority
of its regular calendar and sent the bills back to committee until next year.
Primary attention will be given ways and means and appropriation bills during the
closing weeks. Several of the appropriation bills carry significant revenue authoriza-
tion for cities for the coming beionnium. They are:
SF 471 -- Municipal Assistance. The Senate has approved the bill and reinstated the
original $13 million for each year of the biennium. The House has not acted on this
bill.
HF 742 -- Rural Development. In addition to numerous other appropriation authoriza-
tions, this bill reinstates $250,000 for the first year of the biennium only for rural
development projects. These projects would be for cities of less than 2,000 population.
Each city would be'entitled to specific grants of revenue for community development
projects,
HF 738 -- D.O.T. Appropriation Bill. Contains $4 million in revenue for transit
assistance. This would be for the biennium. There are several amendments on file
that would increase this amount to $6 million for the biennium ($3 million each year
as opposed to $2 million).
HF 734 -- Natural Resources Appropriation Bill. Contains $9 million for the biennium
for state's share (S percent) of waste water treatment facility grants.
Other bills that are still alive that affect cities are:
HF 669 - Committee bill -- Requiring a life cycle cost analysis for certain government
construction projects. By Committee on Energy.
SF 435 - Relating to the establishment of historical preservation districts in cities.
(Companion to HF 681)
HF 680 - Motion to reconsider by Junkins, Ago discrimination including the maximum
age of employment in certain occupations, By Committee on Labor C Industrial Relations.
HF 632 - Committee bill -- Relating to the issuance of bonds to be paid from the revenues
received from a local hotel and motel tax. By Committee on Ways $ Means.
IIF 662 - Committee bill -- Limiting the hotel and motel tax to a tax on sleeping accom-
modations. By Committee on Ways $ Means.
SF 489 - Committee bill -- Administration and benefits of certain public retirement
systems. By Appropriations.
HF 485 - Require fiscal notes on proposed logi'slation and administrative rules which
impose increased expenditures. By Thompson.
HF 650 - Partial property tax exemptions for industrial property on which improvements

PRESENT: Carol Spaziani (Chair), Graham Dameron, Bette Meisel, Linda
Schreiber, Lloyd Turner
STAFF: Pam Ramser, Emil Brandt
GUEST: Mary Rogers
Carol Spaziani called the meeting to order. She briefly explained the
situation regarding funding of the human services program for FY '80.
She said that the Iowa City City Council had agreed to provide $7,000
to the Regional Planning Commission to fund a half-time human services
staff'
position .and that the Commission would be providing $2,000 toward
support.for this position. She said that the Johnson County Board of
Supervisors had agreed to provide $3,000 to United Way to finance print-
ing, mailing, andother activities regarding the joint funding hearings
' and for updating the Johnson County Services Index; she.said.that United
Way.would contribute $1,080 in administrative support. Ms. Ramser said
that contracts for this joint program had not yet been drawn up but that
she would keep the subcommittee informed on the development of the pro-
gram.
Subcommittee members discussed several elements which had been included
in the initial human service FY '80 program proposal but were not con-
tained in ,the final funded program. Ms. Ramser said that she felt there
would be some time to devote to elements outside the funded proposal, par-
ticularly in late fall and winter of this year, after the conclusion of
the joint funding hearings.
The subcommittee briefly discussed a few activities which might be incor-
porated into the program, to be carried out if time permitted after meet-
ing of contract requirements. These were:
- Work with agencies on goal and objective setting
- Coordinative meetings between agencies and organizations
(It was suggested that the Agency Directors' Luncheons might
be used as a base for information -sharing and discussion on
agency programs so that they would serve both social and
coordinative functions.)

2) Program Dev. 4/4/79
- Development of contracts between funding bodies and relevant
agencies for all locally funded agencies.
The subcommittee asked Ms. Ramser to prepare a list of activities which
were not funded for FY '80 and other activities which have been proposed
or initiated recently for the next meeting. The subcommittee will devote
part of the next meeting to determining priorities for activities to be
engaged in during FY '80, as time permits.
The report prepared by Mr. Chancey on his work with agencies on goal and
objective setting was reviewed briefly. Ms. Spaziani asked Ms. Ramser
whether she felt that the report provided enough information for her to
carry on this work with agencies should time be available for this acti-
vity. Ms. Ramser said that she felt that the report and examples of agen-
cies goals before and after assistance provided a good background for
someone to work with agencies in this area. She said that the report will
be forwarded to funding bodies and others before the end of the fiscal year.
A draft report on information and referral was reviewed by subcommittee
members. They asked that several of the agencies responding to the survey
conducted by human services staff be contacted again to verify some of the
information provided. 'Ms. Ramser said that she would'do'this and provide
a detailed summary of survey responses at the next meeting.
The next meeting was scheduled for Monday, April 30 at 9:00 a.m.*.
*This has since been changed to Wednesday, May 2 at 9:00 a.m.
