Public discussion of a final Large Scale Non -Residential Development plan, final plat and tree planting plan of Hy -Vee Food Stores, Inc., located south of Highway 6 Bypass and east of Gilbert Street; 45 -day limitation period: 7/12/79, 60 -day limitation period: 7/27/79. Boothroy presented an overlay of the proposed development and explained that there were some deviations from the originally approved plan, specifically regarding the tree planting plan and the street design. Ile distributed a memorandum from Jim Brachtel, the Traffic Engineer, addressing the concerns expressed regarding the design of the traffic flow. He also stated that the Engineering staff has not yet reviewed the revised plan. 4 The Commissioners felt that Mr. BrachtellIs memorandum did not provide any clear cut f I recommendation or preferred solution to the traffic problems. After some discussion by the Commission, Steven Victor, representing Hy -Vee Food Stores, stated that he had ! met with Mr. Brachtel and that he felt the access points as proposed would not be a Ilj problem. During the discussion which followed, Ogesen expressed his concerns regarding the philosophy of bringing the customers to their destination via aisles rather than drives and also regarding the design of the access points with no signs indicating entrances and/or exits. Mr. Victor explained that the majority of the Hy -Vee Stores have no interior drives at all and that they have experienced no real problems. Lehman suggested the possibility of requiring Hy -Vee to make necessary improvements at their expense should a problem be identified in the future. Discussion of the possibility Of a legal agreement in this respect followed. Schmeiser stated that BrachtellIs indication that a problem will not exist because ` of the northerly entrance is presumably based upon anticipated traffic flow at the time the store is opened and that there will be sufficient "gaps" in the traffic to enable drivers to cross Boyrum Street diagonally from Hollywood Boulevard to the northern entrance. He stated, however, that once Boyrum Street is extended and traffic flows are increased the "gaps" gaps may diminish to the extent that traffic maneuvering may indeed become a problem. During the discussion of the tree planting plan, Mr. Victor stated that Hy -Vee would like to plant trees in the right-of-way and that if the Commission approves of this idea the Department of Transportation needs a letter confirming approval. He further stated that if the DOT does not approve of the trees being planted in the right-of-way Hy -Vee would move the trees into islands on the site. Lehman moved, and Kammermeyer seconded, that the Innovative Tree Planting plan for Hy -Vee Food Stores, Inc., located south of Highway 6 Bypass and cast of Gilbert Street, be approved as meeting the intent of the Tree Regulations with the understand- ing that if the Department of Transportation does not approve of the trees being planted in the right-of-way that Hy -Vee will move the trees into islands on the site. Motion carried with 5 Commissioners in favor and I Commissioner abstaining (Coin). Cain explained that her reason for abstaining was a conflict of conscience since she had been opposed to the site from the beginning, and that while she had voted for approval of the preliminary plan, she had done so without Hollywood Boulevard being included. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES Planning $ Zoning Commission June 7, 1979 Page 3 i .lakobsen called for a vote approving the writing of a letter to the Department of Transportation stating that the Planning and Zoning Commission has approved the tree planting plan as submitted by Hy-Vcc Food Stores, Inc. Approval was 5-1 with Cain abstaining. Jakobsen called for approval of the final Large Scale Non -Residential Development plan and final plat of Hy -Vee Food Stores, Inc., located south of Highway 6 Bypass and east of Gilbert Street, subject to (1) the legal papers being revised, (2) the signatures of the utility companies and registered land surveyor being provided, (3) complete review of the final plat and other items as necessary by the Engineering Department, and (4) appropriate signage being provided at the north entrance to the parking lot, off Boyrum, indicating "Entrance Only". The vote was 4-1-1, with Ogesen voting against and Cain abstaining. Ogesen's reasons for voting against approval included his concerns regarding the traffic pattern and the design of the parking lot entrance. i S-7505. Consideration of a preliminary Planned Area Development plan of 111750 Rochester", a proposed development of a site located north of Rochester Avenue and east of Seventh Avenue, 45 -day limitation period: waived. j Boothroy stated that the plan has not been revised to incorporate concerns of the staff and Commissioners. Ile further stated that the staff recommendation remains that the plan be denied. Bruce Glasgow, the developer, briefed the Commission on the history of the subject ` development explaining that the City had required that land be given for Seventh Avenue and now was requiring that land be given for yet another street. He further I stated that he had offered to give this land on the northern side of the stormwater _j detention facility at no cost to the City (this would be a 50 foot right-of-way from Seventh Avenue easterly to Windsor Court) and that the City would be responsible for paving the street and providing the sidewalks. A further stipulation would be that if the need for the street does not exist the land would revert.back to the property owner. Mr. Glasgow listed among advantages to the City -- (1) there would be no driveways on Rochester Road, (2) there would only be two driveways on Seventh i Avenue, (3) the development would be built around the existing trees, (4) the City might want to extend Windsor Court at some later date (at no cost), (5) it would limit the urban sprawl that is now taking place, and (6) it would provide maintained dwellings for those wishing to move from single family dwelling units. He also stated that there were no advantages to the developer but that he was still willing to proceed with the proposed PAD. After some discussion regarding the proposed development, Kammermeyer moved, and Vetter seconded, that the preliminary Planned Area Development plan of 111750 Rochester", a proposed development of a si.te located north of Rochester Avenue and east of Seventh Avenue, be approved as proposed. The approval was denied with S Commissioners against and 1 Commissioner in favor (Kammermeyer). Copies of an Ordinance Amending Section 8.10.3A and Section 8.10.266.2 of Appendix A of the Code of Ordinance by Regulating the Location of Accessory Buildings in Iowa City was distributed to the Commissioners for review before the next informal meeting. This amendment will be placed on the next formal agenda for a public hearing. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES r.

ENGINEERING CONFERENCE ROOM MEMBERS PRESENT: Gilpin, Fountain, Vetter, Fahr, Neuzil, Sokol MEMBERS ABSENT: Knight, Berry, Boutelle, Baker, Kroeze STAFF PRESENT: Milkman, Deevers GUESTS: Loren Horton; Larry Daniels, KXIC RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL: That the Riverfront Commission recommends the following allocation of $75,000 CDBG funds: $ 7,500 Administration 20,500 Boat ramp at Sturgis Corner The balance ($47,000) to be used for the Rocky Shore bike trail with the provision that matching funds are available to finish that project. If there is a surplus after completion of the Rocky Shore trail that it be applied to finish the bike trail in the City Park. The Commission further recommends that if matching funds from DOT are not available that as much as possible of the Rocky Shore trail be built in order to make use of the rip rap and Project GREEN funding at this time. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION: Chairperson Gilpin brought the meeting to order. Fahr moved the adoption of the minutes of May 2,. 1979. Neuzil seconded the motion, minutes were approved unani- mously. BOAT RAMP: Milkman reported that Stanley Consultants had been hired to design the ramp. Permits from four agencies have to be completed before construction can begin. The contract with Stanley Consultants will consist of bidding the work, speci- fication and the design. The contract cost will be between $4,000 and $5,000. Gilpin asked if there was any tentative figure for the project. Milkman said the Commission should stay with the previous allocation of $20,500. Gilpin was concerned with the width of the parking area. Milkman said that a statement indicating that the parking area would be enlarged if needed would be included in the application. Vetter asked if erosion would be a problem. Milkman explained that if there was rip rapping there should be no problems. Gilpin asked if the Commission should take any action before the June 30, 1979 dead- line. Milkman indicated no action was necessary at this time. Vetter asked if the contract included a fishing pier. Milkman explained the engineers felt a pier would present problems, therefore, extra rip rap would be used to create a type of pier. FINAL RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL FOR USE OF $75,000 CDBG FUNDS: Milkman said Steve Larson, Bikeway Coordinator for IDOT indicated that a decision on funding will be deferred at this time due to other priority matters. Gilpin iaa? MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110RIE5 rd MINUTES IOWA CITY RIVERFRONT COMMISSION MAY 30, 1979 -- 7:30 P.M. PAGE 2 suggested the Commission could allocate the remaining $47,000 for a bikeway along Rocky Shore Drive in order to ensure use of the available rip rap from the river corridor sewer construction. Milkman reminded the Commission that the funds needed to be committed solidly by June 30, 1979. A question was raised as to acquisition of the Showers property. Milkman said that just buying property was not eligible for CDBG funding. Milkman added that eventually the City might acquire this land for park land to serve south Iowa City. The Commission's only argument was that the land is available now and if it is not acquired the City may loose its chances for acquiring it. Gilpin suggested to recommend to the Parks and Recreation Commission to pur- chase the Showers property for park land. Gilpin suggested to see how much $47,000 would accomplish on a bike trail for Rocky Shore Drive together with Project GREEN's contribution. Milkman informed the Commission the total estimated cost for the Rocky Shore bike trail was $105,000. It was suggested that if the $30,000 is used to construct the Rocky Shore Drive trail (with matching funds of $70,000 from IDOT) then the remaining $17,000 could be used for the completion of the City Park trail. Vetter moved, and Kroeze seconded to recommend to the City Council the following allocation of the $75,000 CDBG funds: $ 7,500 Administration 20,500 Boat ramp at Sturgis Corner The balance ($47,000) to be used for the Rocky Shore bike trail with the provision that matching funds are available to finish that project. If there is a surplus after completion of the Rocky Shore trail that it be applied to finish the bike trail in the City Park. The Commission further recommends that if matching funds From DOT are not available that as much as possible of the Rocky Share trail be built in order to make use of the rip rap and Project GREEN funding at this time. Motion approved unanimously. OLD BUSINESS: Gilpin said there has been no reply from a letter to Bill Meardon asking him to donate 2 or 3 acres of land across from the Coralville dam catwalk. Gilpin said there has been no official reply from Mace Braverman regarding the donation of the Riverfront property. A letter was sent to Dr. Raymond Sheets (Chairperson, Johnson County Conservation Board) informing him that the Riverfront Commission had contacted Meardon's office and the Commission would keep him informed. The date of the next Riverfront Commission meeting is scheduled for June 27, 1979 MCROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES �__,..,I..: MINUTES IOWA CITY RIVERFRONT COMMISSION MAY 30, 1979 -- 7:30 P.M. PAGE 3 i Milkman told the Commission that the City is going to hire two interns on a part-time basis to work on Riverfront activities this summer. The interns will be working on the environmental assessment for the boat ramp and identi- fying all property owners and land uses along the river to make recommendations for purchase of easements along the river to provide a buffer and river trail. The first draft of the River Corridor Overlay Zone should be ready to present at the next meeting. Gilpin asked the members to think of priorities for projects for the future should the Riverfront Commission be allocated the remaining portion of the $200,000 CDBG funds which were previously allocated for Riverfront Improvements. Milkman noted that there are now considerable restrictions on the use of CDBG funds. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN Stager moved, Bolnick seconded, to approve the minutes of the April 24, 1979 meeting as read. Approved unanimously. jTinklenberg pointed out that the minutes of the March 27 meeting were not approved on April 24. The Chair requested that the Commissioners be provided with a copy of the March 27 minutes again. I Stager moved, Bolnick seconded, that the Resources Conservation Commission meet only on the second Tuesday of May, June, July, and August. After discussion the motion was defeated, one aye, three nays. Bolnick moved, Stager seconded, that the Commission meet only on the second Tuesday of May and June and resume its regular schedule of j bimonthly meetings in July. Approved unanimously. National Enerav Act Reports j Denniger reported that the Energy Conservation Act contains very little. The Act merely sets out some goals to be achieved and it appears that the real "flesh and blood" will be in the Code of Federal Regulations. I Hotka also reported that the Natural Gas Policy Act contains a lot of words but does not accomplish much. Again, the DOE has been given I wide latitude and their regulations will provide the actual policy. Library Design Review A representative from the architectural firm Hansen, Lind and Meyer did not appear.

Other Business Mass Transit: The Commissioners were interested in what the current ridership flow patterns are and what are the Transit Director's plans for the future. University Power Plant: The Commissioners wanted to know if the University has dropped their consideration of a solid waste inciner- ation plant. It was decided to ask Joan Lewis of the Johnson County Council on Aging to give a presentation concerning the solar greenhouse located at the Close Mansion.

The Sun Day fair will provide the RCC with a forum to publicize the Heat Loss Identification and Pilot Solar Demonstration Projects. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN Chairman Denniger called the meeting to order and had all of the Commissioners introduce themselves to become acquainted with the new j Commissioner, Mr. Keith Gormezano. Stager moved, Bolnick seconded, to approve the minutes of the May 8, 1979 meeting as read. Approved, four ayes, one abstention.

After discussion, the Commissioners were directed to modify and revise the goals and objectives and be prepared to vote on and approve them at the next meeting. It was agreed to list the goals by number according to priority. Hotka moved, Bolnick seconded, to table the discussion of the goals and objectives and that each Commissioner come back with their own list of priorities at the next meeting. Approved unanimously. Z. __ MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110IIIES Iaa� Resources Conservation Commission June 12, 1979 Page 2 �r Sol le The Johnson County Solar Energy Association is the local sponsor for the Sun Day on June 23. There will be displays and booths at the Mall. The RCC then discussed the City's involvement in Sun Day last year which included a mayoral proclamation, press releases, the contribution of $50 for advertising Sun Day, and a table display at the Sun Day fair. Bolnick moved, Stager seconded, that the RCC have a table display of the infrared thermography instrument at the Sun Day fair in the Mall on June 23. Approved unanimously. Hotka moved, Stager seconded, that the RCC recommend that the City Council appropriate $50 to co-sponsor Sun Day. Approved unanimously. It was noted that this will provide a forum for the RCC to publicize the thermal scan project, the Pilot Solar Demonstration Project, recent developments in solar legislation, etc. of Mr. Brown noted that the Iowa Energy Code forms the basis for the Library design. For an example, the Code specifies a maximum U value Of 0.25 (U value indicates BTU loss) for building walls and windows and the Library walls and windows are calculated to have a U value of 0.164, which is well below the Code maximum. The heating system will have a natural gas fired hot water boiler with radiant ceiling panels. The ventilation and air conditioning system will be a medium velocity system with a static air pressure controller, variable air volume air handlers for the branch ducts, and an economizer cycle for bringing in up to 100 percent outside air when possible. Mr. Koffron reported that the exterior walls will be of either block construction with brick facing or steel studs with brick facing. The windows will be insulating glass and thermally broken. Some venting capacity is being considered for the windows as well. The roof will be a steel beam construction with a steel deck and with a membrane or built-up roof with four inches of insulation. Natural lighting will be provided wherever possible in places where it is necessary to meet other Code requirements, i.e. fire escapes. Presently two skylights are planned for the building. Bolnick felt that HLM tried to make as reasonable a compromise as Possible on the use of natural light. Denniger said the HVAC system is an extremely efficient environmental system and appears to be well designed. Also, a lot of forethought has gone into the skylighting question. Both the Library Board and HLM need to be complimented. Hotka agreed and was glad to see that they kept the heating and cooling system separate. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES Resources Conservation Commission June 12, 1979 Page 3 Gormezano asked if it would not be more efficient to have more than four inches of insulation in the roof and to have the first floor underground. Mr. Koffron replied that insulation in excess of four inches was not economically justifiable according to their calcula- tions. The soil type makes it very difficult to put the building below grade and the amount of lighting necessary below grade would add a considerable heat load problem. Cost is another major factor. Also a constraint is the amount of space necessary on the first floor. Gormezano expressed his serious reservations about the building design based on his experience overseas. Commissioner Stager left at this time. - - - - ---•._ • - •• �= aj u - 111luube loan Lewl s , Volunteer Coordinator and Maggie Penziner Ms. Lewis gave an overview of the Johnson County Council on Aging. Ms. Penziner reported that the greenhouse made possible the distri- bution of 1,000 flower and vegetable plants to elderly during the Past year. The plants contributed food, emotional, and spiritual enrichment. The greenhouse is insulated and has an electric space heater to maintain a minimum 55 degree temperature. The heating cost I for the entire winter was approximately $200. The Commissioners discussed how, if in any way, the RCC can help with projects such as these. It was concluded that public education is the most valuable thing the Commission can do. Other Business i Sue Gwin, Iowa City resident, said it was a shame the poor people of Iowa City are being denied solar grants because nothing has been done on the Iowa City Pilot Solar Demonstration Project. It was pointed out to her that this project was delayed by some legal questions and the amount of work which had to be done on other projects. Ms. Gwin suggested that the project be turned over to some other group. However, Denniger pointed out that only the staff can administer the project, not a community organization nor the RCC, and the staff has not had the time. Visitors were encouraged to volunteer to help with the project or apply for membership on the RCC where they can push for the project. Tinklenberg reported that there was no possibility to implement the Project this spring because of the fuel shortage facing the City and the rest of his time this fiscal year will be spent on the City fuel use analysis. He stated that he has put in a request that the funds be carried over by the City Council for the next fiscal year. The Commissioners and the visitors present expressed the hope that the City Council would carry over the money. The Johnson County Solar Energy Association encouraged the RCC to place a high priority on the implementation of the project. Denniger replied that the RCC has given it a high priority for FY80.

CITY MANAGER'S CONFERENCE ROOM MEMBERS PRESENT: MEMBERS ABSENT: STAFF PRESENT: GUESTS: Ambrisco, Summerwill Williams Bourgeois, Carlton, Berlin, Meisel Agnes Kuhn, John Pfiffner, Mary Rock Sando, Scott, Chairman Larry Carlton suggested that the minutes of the previous meeting be accepted as read. Moved by Sando, seconded by Summerill, approved unanimously. SENIOR CENTER SPECIAL GIFTS FUND Agnes Kuhn suggested to the Commission that they establish a fund to which persons interested in honoring someone could contribute. The donations could be used to purchase items for the Center. The Commission agreed that such a fund should be created and publicized in the near future. Summerwill moved that the City Council be requested to pass a resolution establishing a Senior Center gift fund. Seconded by Scott, passed unanimously. Meisel was asked to prepare a resolution and press release for Commission consideration. Berlin reported that the City Council was definitely interested in completing the mezzanine and making the third floor useable for office space. Specific funds to finance these projects have not of yet been identified. He explained that having some City offices in the building would cut down on the operating costs of the Center. Berlin asked the Commissioners and guest, Mary Rock, to express their concerns regarding the spaces in the Senior Center. Sando worried about non -Senior Center staff and visitors trapsing through the Center. She felt that it would be preferable to use the third floor for Center activities and the ground floor for City offices. Rock felt that offices of service providers should be placed to ensure privacy for their clients. She also mentioned that spaces where interaction of participants occurred should be highly visible. Pfiffner said that some problems could be solved when the plans were refined, but that an existing building dictated certain spaces. Sando said that the director and program coordinator should have offices where Center activities occurred. Pfiffner said that they would attempt to achieve a satisfactory mix of activities on each floor. Scott stated that AARP with a membership of 250-300 should have space for all its activities. She also felt that a class space of 25' x 1aSo MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOVIES i i i I I i i Senior Center Commission June 6, 1979 Page 2 25' without furniture in it was necessary for exercise classes. Sando and Scott agreed that acoustic control was a necessity in designing the spaces. Summerwill remarked that he was not convinced that we knew at this time how many classrooms we should have or how large they should be. He suggested moveable partitions which Pfiffner informed him were more expensive than "permanent" walls which you might remove at a later date. Meisel and Pfiffner discussed input from the various meetings concerning the kitchen layout and equipment. It was agreed that using the input collected to date Pfiffner should be asked to complete the plans for the kitchen in the next two weeks. Berlin asked if the revised plan for the rest of the Center could be completed in that time. Pfiffner thought they could. Meisel was asked to call him to verify that information. If both can be ready for inspection in two weeks, the Commissioners will review them at their next meeting. 3iAX11 ? Meisel showed the Commission the colors and finishes chosen for the furniture to be purchased with a federal grant. She informed them that furniture and equipment had now been ordered and would arrive in Iowa City in eight to ten weeks. She also mentioned that the equipment and furnishings to be purchased with the state funds was now being bid. The bids will be awarded by June 26. BY-LAWS The revised by-laws will be studied by the Commission and adapted at the next meeting. SENIOR CENTER SITE INSPECTION It was agreed to hold the next Commission meeting on June 20 at 7:00 p.m. so that it would be light enough to inspect the old post office building.

In your petition, you stated that the placement of the signs was difficult to work with, since it necessitated entering private driveways to turn around for parking on the other side. We understand your concern and we usually prefer not to disturb the existing habits of Iowa City residents. We feel there are some pressing reasons why the parking should be left as it is. I. During the winter snow plowing season, it is extremely helpful to our drivers to always having the parking removed on the same side of the street. Frequently, our snow plow drivers are operating under blinding snow conditions. The driver may not notice that parking was switched to the other side of the street in this one block and he may crash into the rear end of parked cars. 2. We prefer to prohibit parking on the same side of the street on which Lhe fire hydrant is located. In this case the fire hydrant is on the west side of the street where the parking is prohibited. 3. The 1600 block of Broadway is a dead-end street. It would seem that regardless of which side parking is prohibited, the driver must ultimately Lurn around in a driveway.

This area will be designated as motorcycle parking only. This action will be taken on or shortly after June 20, 1979. COMMENT: This action is being taken at the direction of the City Council of Iowa City. It is recommended by the City Traffic Engineer that this area be designated motorcycle parking and no fee be collected. It should be noted that this area is being installed to replace free motorcycle parking in the CBD which had been removed by urban renewal construction projects. This space would provide motorcycle parking alternatives to on -street metered stalls. The no charge designation was suggested to make this site more attractive than closer in, metered, on -street stalls used by passenger vehicles. As presently structured, there will be little incentive for motorcyclists to park on the CBD fringe and walk into the CBD. More likely, motorcylcists will select a closer in, metered, on -street stall in which to store their vehicle. It is suggested that the fees realized from these eight stalls be monitored for the next two to three months to determine if usage is sufficient to warrant the continued charge of parking rates at this site. If low utilization is recorded in the next two to three months, it is recommended that these eight stalls be either converted to a free parking area for motorcycles only or revert back to four vehicular parking stalls so that the number of parking stalls downtown may be maximized. bj4/4 FJIL�UN 1 41979 ABBIE STOLFUS CITY CLERK MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES IQ4q R h C i M t L�s r irk • `"June 7, 1978 Don Schmieser Senior Planner City of Iowa City Civic Center Iowa CityjK Iowa Re: 1750 Rochester P.A,O Gentlemen: The developers and owners of the land represented by the proposed PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT entitled 01750 Rochester* request that the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board for June 7, 1979 be forwarded to-theCity Council for approval or disapproval.

Requested action: Purpose: Location: Size: Existing land use and zoning: Surrounding land use and zoning: Comprehensive Plan: Applicable regulations: 45 -day limitation period: 1601 Osceola Avenue Sheridan, Iowa Approval of a final Large Scale Non-residential Development plan and final plat To develop a supermarket and drug store South of Highway 6 Bypass and east of Gilbert Street Approximately 6.12 acres Retail and wholesale establishment (Contractor's Tool and Supply) and undeveloped; zoned M1 and CH North (across Highway 6) - retail and wholesale establishments and M1 East - undeveloped and C2 South - undeveloped and CH West - automobile laundry (Robo Wash) and M1 The area is designated as land consumptive commercial Subdivision Ordinance, Zoning Ordinance and LSNRD Ordinance provisions (the applicant proposes to install a storm sewer from the site to the Iowa River so that stormwater management will not be required). 7/12/79 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MO114ES is 47 1 60 -day limitation period: 7/27/79 SPECIAL INFORMATION iPublic utilities: Adequate water and sewer service are available. Public services: Police and fire protection are available. Public sanitation would not be provided. Transportation: Vehicular access would be provided from Highway 6 Bypass Physical characteristics: The topography is gentle with slopes of less than five percent. ANALYSIS 4 The applicant has revised the approved "Innovative Parking Area Design Plan" in accordance with the "Revised Tree Regulations presently being considered by the Commission and is again requesting Innovative Parking Area Design Plan" approval (see attached letter). Under the "Revised Tree Regulations," a significant reduction in number of required plantings result (i.e. 120-58). This large reduction of trees is due to three factors: elimination of the double coverage requirement along Highway 6, removal of landscaped islands between parking and buildings, and reduction of the number of tree islands. However, in terms of the tree coverage of the parking area both the approved and proposed parking design plans are equivalent. The final plan does not show medians in Boyrum Street as approved in the preliminary LSNRD plan. The Department of Transportation in approving the access to Highway 6 considered the northern median to be unwarranted and disallowed it. The southern median, however, is not within state right-of-way and whether or not it is constructed is within the purview of the city. The design of the southern median should provide an adequate turning radius for left -turning movements from Hollywood Boulevard onto Boyrum Street. This increases the probability of "cheating" from those wishing to exit the develop- ment via the northern entrance and creates a very hazardous traffic situation. The Traffic Engineer is recommending that the median not be constructed at this time. But, if at some future date the city should decide that some benefit could I be served by a median then it would not be difficult to construct a median because Boyrum Street will be wide enough to accommodate it. It would seem more appropriate for the Commission to consider narrowing the north entrance drive to inhibit traffic from exiting through it. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that the final Large Scale Non-residential Development Plan and final plat be deferred. Upon revision of the plan and plat incorporating the concerns mentioned above and correcting the deficiencies and discrepancies noted below, the staff recommends that the final LSNRD plan and final plat be approved.

The tree shall be straight of trunk with the main leader intact. Small, Upright or Understory Deciduous Trees At the time of planting the single stem ornamental tree shall have a minimum planted height of six (6) feet and shall possess six (6) or more properly spaced branches. The tree shall be straight of trunk with the main leader intact. Coniferous Evergreen Trees At the time of planting the minimum height measured from planted level to the midpoint between the upper most whorl and the tip of the leader shall be five (5) feet with a ratio of height to spread of not less than five (5) to three (3). The needle color and branching habits shall be normal for the species and the overall appearance shall be indicative of previous care in pruning and development. This list is not complete and no effort is made to exclude the planting of any variety that may become acceptable or to prohibit the use of unusual plantings for desired effects except as such plantings would or could create an unnecessary maintenance problem for the general public. In cases of uncertainty the City Forestor or the Extension Service should be contacted. TREES IN•SMALL ISLANDS Trees indicated with an asterisk (*) are suitable for use in small tree islands (170 square feet) or in other areas where root confinement is a factor. These selections are especially adapted to adverse city conditions in spite of any individual problems. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110INES "&'City of Iowa CO - MEMORANDUM Date: To: From: Re: June 13, 1979 City Counc' Don Schmeise Proposed Revised Tree Regulations The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular meeting held on June 8, recommended by a 6 to 0 vote approval of the proposed revised Tree Regulations attached to the agenda subject to the following minor changes: 1. Paragraphs 8.10.40.7(B)(3) and (6) should be combined as follows: (3) Trees shall be planted adjacent to street rights-of-way within eight (8) feet of the right-of-way line but not closer than four (4) feet to a public sidewalk nor three (3) feet to a right-of-way line where a public sidewalk does not exist. 2. That paragraphs (7) and (8) of the above subsection be changed to (6) and (7) respectively. 3. That a note at the bottom of pages 1, 2, 3, 9 and 10 of the "List of Recommended Trees for Iowa City" stating, "*See page 12" be included. 4. That page 12 of the "List of Recommended Trees for Iowa City" be numbered page 12. 5. That paragraph 8.10.40.8(B)(2) be changed by deleting "--floor area that any floor is--" to '"floor area of any floor that is--." The major differences between the existing Tree Regulations and the proposed revised Tree Regulations are generally outlined as follows: 1. The definition of a "tree" has been changed by adding the adjec- tives "perennial woody." Definitions for "drive" and "aisle" have been added to distinguish between the two and the definition of a "tree island" has been added. 2. The general applicability section exempts single family dwellings outright. The existing ordinance exempts buildings with a coverage of 2,152 square feet as to effectively exempt single family dwell- ings. Also included is information on methods of measurement (void in the existing ordinance), trees permitted and sizes at initial installation as specified in the "List of Recommended Trees for Iowa City," a supplement attached with'the Tree Regulations, and provisions of screening as to avoid duplication of planting re- quirements. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES W4, 2 3. The proposed ordinance, requires that trees be placed along streets but on private property within eight (8) feet of the street right- of-way rather than within the right-of-way. This change was made for two reasons: (a) the existing ordinance not only requires that trees be planted within the street right-of-way but also between street rights-of-way and parking areas; the change would avoid a duplication in planting requirements (as, for example, in the Pentacrest Garden Court Apartments), and (b) maintenance responsi- bility would be placed with the property owner rather than the City. If for any reason trees can't be placed within eight feet of the street right-of-way, the proposed ordinance requires that they be placed within the street right-of-way or omitted. This pro- vision avoids a multitude of problems for which an "innovative parking area design plan" approval is necessary. 4. By the proposed ordinance trees, if planted in the street right-of- way, are required to be placed 70 feet from intersecting arterial streets, 50 feet from intersecting collector streets, and 30 feet from intersecting residential streets. This is a vision clearance provision at street intersections not presently required in the existing ordinance. 5. The proposed ordinance exempts parking lots with 18 or fewer spaces. This is a major deviation from the existing ordinance recommended by the Commission. This change represents a philo- sophical view that the ordinance apply only to large parking areas and, hence, the purpose of the Tree Regulations. 6. Parking ramps and similar structures are exempted as well as residential property in the CB Zone. This exemption takes into consideration the difficulty or impossibility in some instances of planting trees in such facilities or locations. 7. Throughout the ordinance, trees are required to be placed four feet or more from public sidewalks. The existing ordinance has no such requirement but necessary to avoid tree roots from upheaving a sidewalk. 8. The proposed ordinance does not require that trees be located between parking areas and buildings for several reasons: (a) foundation structural failure can result from trees placed too close to a building, (b) in more instances than not, the building will provide more shading of the parking area than the low under- J­ story trees which would otherwise be required, (c) there is in many cases simply not enough space between a building and a parking area to insure the survival of a tree, and (d) such a provision was considered by the Commission as more of an aesthetic requirement for which a zoning ordinance cannot govern. In almost every in- stance, the Commission has granted "innovative parking area design plan" approval to eliminate trees from being planted between build- ings and parking areas.

In lieu of the existing provision that trees be planted in islands every tenth parking space in a parking area, the proposed ordinance requires that every parking space be within 40 feet R t,y of a small (understory) variety tree or within 60 feet of a large variety tree. This provides more flexibility in the placement of trees in parking areas and a more even distribution of trees. t r1 10. The existing ordinance provides for "innovative parking area design #� plan" approval by the Commission. By such a provision the Commission may waive certain requirements of the Tree Regulations if an alternative planting scheme is "innovative" and meets the intent of the Tree Regulations. This process has been deleted in the proposed ordinance as there is some question of the legality the Commission q s3 of having discretionary power to vary certain require- ments of the Tree Regulations. >a There are many subtle changes which have been made to the Tree Regula- tions. It is S suggested that the Council review the proposed regulations without comparing it with the existing ordinance to determine whether the proposed regulations are acceptable to the Council_ i jm3/24 ?-d r 7 4.; s =;1 r5 :P. 1� MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110INES R NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON AMENDING SIGN ORDINANCE Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held by the City Council of Iowa City, Iowa at 7:30 P.M. on the 19th d�av`of June, 1979, in the Council Chambers in the Civic Center, Iowa City, Iowa.

The first draft was sent to Council along with the Proposed Capital Improvement Program for FY80-84 and was discussed by Council at an informal session after budget discussions had been completed. At that time Council asked us to reword the section on financing. In the initial draft, this section (page two) read as follows: FINANCING As a general rule financing of capital improvements shall meet the following guidelines: A. The difference between tax dollars needed for operating costs and the maximum General Fund levy shall be used for capital project financing to provide for replacement needs. 8. Every effort shall be made to seek out state or federal grants or assistance. The rewording section in the revised Fiscal Policy provides for more flexibility. It states that it is the City's intention to use property tax and operating revenues for capital project financing. However, this is subject to availability of these revenues in addition to the final decision of the City Council on financing sources. Other small wording changes have been made throughout the policy, but these did not change the content of the first draft. The revised policy has been reviewed in detail with our Bond discussion of the srevisionsaduringeCouncilwtimeillbatathisaMonday',s informal meeting.

Hencin, CDBG Program Coordinator RE: Architectural Barrier Removal/Curb Cut Program Since the inception of the CDBG Program in Iowa City, monies have been allocated for the purpose of removing architectural barriers to the handicapped and elderly in municipal buildings and related public areas. Much of the work funded during the first and second year CDBG programs has been completed as planned. However, there remains one element of the 4th year CDBG program to be accomplished -- an Architectural Barrier/ Curb Cut Program. The first part of the enclosed report outlines a specific program for in- stalling sidewalk curb cuts at locations where it has been determined that there are handicapped users. Maps are included which show recommended locations. $50,000 was allocated for this project, and we request Council's approval to proceed with it. The second part of the report provides an update on previous Architectural Barrier Removal activities. .JAH/jmd MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES lacy I_,' 11 (1r JuRh1 HIOULAL' CEDAR RAPIDS AND UES ^101!1P .

INTRODUCTION: Due to the Housing Community Development Act of 1974 Iowa City received funding for a Community Development Block Grant Program. A portion of the CDBG program included an Architectural Barrier Removal Program.' Supplement to the Architectural Barrier Removal Program is the Curb Cut Program. The Curb Cut Program received $50,000 in funding which will accommodate construction of approximately 200 curb cuts. The Curb Cut Program was designed to assist handicapped individuals in their movement from one location to another. Curbs bordering the edges of corners represent a significant obstacle to handicapped individuals confined to wheelchairs or crutches who wish to cross streets or gain access to buildings. Historically, handicapped individuals have been severely hampered from participating in pedestrian movement. The primary goal of the Curb Cut Program is to alleviate the obstacle of curbs for the handicapped person thus allowing the handicapped individual to participate in pedestrian movement. Indirectly, many residents also benefit from curb cuts, elderly, school children, shoppers and cyclists all benefit from the construction of curb cuts. With the $50,000 approximately 200 curb cuts will be constructed throughout the Community Development Block Grant area. II. PROGRAM PROCESS: The first step in determining where the curb cuts would be located involved solicitation of ideas from area residents who were handicapped. Several meetings were held with the Johnson County Committee for the Handicapped, Johnson County Committee I on the Handicapped, University of Iowa Center for the Handicapped, Systems Unlimited, and the Johnson County SEATS program. Each group was contacted and sent a mailing which provided: A. Explanation of program. i B. Review of process. C. Questionnaire. D. Time and place of next meeting. At each meeting an overview of the Curb Cut Program was presented. An explanation of the program's goals and objectives were covered and then the specific tasks which the City would be following were outlined. An implementation timetable was discussed along with the framework for timely i completion. Ideas and locations were then solicited from the various groups along with any other types of problems which ! they have encountered in travelling around the City. The ideas and locations which were solicited were then prioritized according to which locations the various groups felt were the most important. Many individuals not able to attend the meeting responded by sending in the questionnaires. The MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIOIIIES ,.�h11CROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB • CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA "N 2 locations were then situated on a map to pinpoint specific spots for construction. From the locations provided through the various meetings, approximately 130 curb cuts were cited by handicapped group$. Since this number was fewer than the 200 curb cuts which were allocated in the program all the curb cuts requested by the various handicapped groups were included. To obtain the budgeted number of curb cuts (200) the staff reviewed areas around public and religious centers, to determine what areas did not have curb cuts and would benefit by the placement of curb cuts. These locations were then added to the list of curb cuts supplied by the handicapped groups. Through this process a total of 199 curb cuts were finally located throughout the Community Development Block Grant area. III. LOCATION: The locations of the 199 curb cuts are shown on the inclosed two maps. Most of the curb cuts are located along heavily traveled pedestrian corridors and other high use areas. The areas including the downtown redevelopment and adjacent streets are not included in the Curb Cut Program because most if not all of the corners in this area have or soon will have curb cuts. The locations of the proposed curb cuts are based upon: 1. Locations cited by handicapped groups. 2. Public (hign use) areas. 3. Religious centers. Due to the lower number of curb cuts pinpointed by handicapped groups, all the locations selected by handicapped people were included in the Curb Cut Program. i IV. IMPLEMENTATION: j The implementation schedule for the completion of the Curb Cut Program has been set for early fall 1979. It was hoped that this curb cut program would be combined with the crosswalk and sidewalk projects in the Neighborhood Site Improvements Program. The Neighborhood Site Improvements Program is j currently engaged in a large scale sidewalk and crosswalk project. Through the combination of the two programs more work can be accomplished in a comprehensive manner. By combining the two programs in the implementation stage the work can be finished in a timely manner. Initial bids are scheduled for early July with work to follow shortly thereafter. If i construction follows in an uninterrupted way all work should be completed by fall 1979 in a timely manner. The actual specifications and diagrams for curb cuts are shown on the inclosed page. All curb cuts will meet the standards portrayed in the curb cut diagrams. Standards outlined on the following page are based upon federal and City guidelines.

This program is funded with Community Development Block Grant funds. Your input is needed in listing specific locations for curb cuts and parking. It is important to note that the area currently under Downtown Redevelopment will be building their own curb cuts. This curb cut program will primarily address the areas directly adjacent to the Downtown Redevelopment Area; however, it would be advantageous to receive a list of other areas in Iowa City that you feel should be considered. 1. Please list locations where you feel curb cuts are needed. Put a 111" by the highest priority area and a "2" for the next highest priority area and so forth. Approximate cost for a curb cut is $250, this project therefore will be able to fund 200 curb cuts.

[lead -on parking spaces should be a minimum of 1216" wide and located near the entrance of the building to be served. When several facilities are to be served, the spaces should be centrally located. At this time, it is recommended that twenty parking spaces in the downtown area be reserved for the physically limited. As the program develops, more spaces should be reserved through- out Iowa City, including spaces in the Towncrest area, at the Mall, Wardway and K Mart shopping centers, and at grocery stores. Two spaces in each of the following six down- town parking lots should be reserved: Chauncey Swan Plaza, Washington and Gilbert Streets Civic Center Lot, Iowa Avenue and Van Buren Street Library Lot, College and Gilbert Streets Municipal Lot, College and Linn Streets Recreation Center Lot, Burlington Street at Ralston Creek Washington Street Lot, Washington and Clinton Streets In addition,head-on metered spaces should be reserved on Iowa Avenue and Washington to serve the nearby University and commercial facilities. The following eight spaces have been identified to be reserved with 5 -hour meters. It should be noted that five of the spaces are located at the end of the parking areas where additional space is already available, minimizing the need to com- C` bine two stalls. 1) Iowa Ave., 100 block, north side, 1st meter by corner, (I-142 E 144).

We certainly hope that the requested funds will be granted to make the Center's facility more efficient and accessible, and to provide a permanent home for the Center's programs. However, we would like to comment on a few statements contained In the Environmental Review Record and hopefully clarify a few points from our perspective. First, on page 4, the last paragraph states there Is ". . an obvious need for a permanent expanded program to serve develop- mentally disabled adults In the area." Although we agree with the need for permanent programs to serve developmentally dis- abled adults, we question the assumption of a need for expanded programs. I am not familiar with the Johnson County Department of Social Services survey mentioned. However, the Seven Year Plan for Deliverof Servicto the Mentally Retarded and Developmentally sa a es zens oBenton, " owa, 0 nson, Jones s Linn and Washington CountieDlstrict 10) (published In 1976 and available at the Field Office of the Department of Social Services) gives the following population estimates for Johnson County: Mildly Mentally Retarded 1927 Moderately Mentally Retarded 129 Severely Mentally Retarded 76 Profoundly Mentally Retarded 32 Total Mentally Retarded Population 2164 Total Developmentally Disabled Population 3607 Carl ACCREDITED Goodwill Industries of Southeast Iowa is an Equal Opportunity Employer MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES g0111E5 ;M ICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB Milkman Page 2 • CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA Of these, virtually all In the mild category, unless multiply disabled, are competitively employable and would require little or no support services. Most of the moderately retarded Individuals would be employable In the general labor market or In a sheltered situation and would require some support services on a temporary or intermittent basis. Some, probably those with multiple handicaps, could use services like those provided at Nelson. Again, though, most of these are capable of acquiring sufficient skills to attain some degree of Inde- pendence. The 76 severely retarded individuals would have the greatest need for a program like that at Nelson. But, again, through good training, many of these are capable of sheltered employment and semi -independence. Many of the profoundly retarded Individuals would require 24-hour care (Including nursing care and assistance with eating and tolleting) that may be beyond the scope of the Nelson program. Furthermore the numbers cited in the Seven Year Plan are for all age groups. The actual number of adults age 20 and over) makes up an estimated 63$ of these figures. The 100 severely handicapped children served by the University of Iowa Hospital Schools and area schools were cited as potential clients of the Adult Center. It is our understanding that most of the children at the Hospital School are from throughout the State of Iowa and will prob- ably return to their home counties after graduation. Also, with the general decline In population growth and continued advancement In the prevention of birth defects and mental retardation, It is hoped that fewer children In the future will require special programming and education. Finally, we should mention that Goodwill Industries has an Activity Center that offers a program for severely handl- capped adults that differs from Nelson in structure and content, but is capable of serving the same population group. i We have recently been serving 12 - 15 Individuals dally. The program is capable of expansion within existing facilities If inecessary. I The last two paragraphs on page B state "people... who have I a state of being that requires lifelong care and help," and "retarded citizens of our community need consistent, lifelong programming for their needs." We would like to mention that although rehabilitation for the developmentally disabled adult may be rather longterm and steps toward Independence are often slow and painful, the goal achieved should be Independence whenever possible and not "lifelong care." The mentally re- tarded population Is more diverse In capabilities and needs MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES t110INES ;MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB ` T . Milkman Page 3 • CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA than the "normal" population. While some retarded citizens may need intensive lifelong care as mentioned above, most do not. On page 9, third paragraph, it is stated, "Goodwill Indus- tries, a major employer of severely handicapped adults In Iowa City, is located five blocks from the center." We would like to point out that we are not just an "employer of handi- capped adults." For the most part, we do not hire handicapped adults but rather provide rehabilitation. Our programs Include work adjustment training (teaching basic work habits), Job readiness and job placement, Independent Living Skills, and the already mentioned Activity Center, which serves the more severely disabled adult through personal and social adjustment. One aspect of the Activity Center Is the transitional program, which allows clients to be paid for work done In the workshop while being evaluated for a possible move Into our Work Adjust- ment Program. For those few clients who are not placeable In competitive employment we do offer an extended employment program (present enrollment 15). On page 12 It states that "there are at present no other local facilities which provide day care and training to severely handicapped adults." Our Activity Center does so and can presently serve 20 clients. Once again, reference Is made to being "employed at Goodwill Industries." The last sentence indicates "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." Our program could expand to serve a larger population If necessary, and many Nelson clients would be candidates for our Activity Center or Work Adjustment Program. We would agree, however, that termination of the program would be a real loss to the community. The Johnson County A.R.C. has accomplished much toward meeting the needs of mentally retarded children and adults In this community and should be commended. The Nelson Adult Center Is an example of their Investment and Involvement, and we certainly are pleased that they may receive funds so that they may remain In their present location and improve their facilities. We would like to invite you, other appropriate city per- sonnel, members of the A.R.C. and staff at the Nelson Adult Center to visit and talk with us, in order•to develop a better understanding of our program and purposes.

LEONARD erecul lve rlimul, 319.338.9212 John D. Watson, Executive Director Goodwill Industries of S.E. Iowa 1410 1st Ave, Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mr. Watson: Thank you for sending me a copy of your letter to Marianne Milkman. With your permission I shall make a few comments. From your letter you commented on the seven year plan. When surveys are done all persons are taken into consideration. I believe that the Department of Social Services did a thorough job. I also realize that a number of these persons became invisible within the community. lluwevur, in my experience with this pupulation there is, and will continue to be a hued for more and better programs. We have also found that the children of this population also become adults and need adult services. In our experience those persons that are served in the Nelson Adult Center are able to gain "independence" to their near maximum. They are able to do contract work that is provided and participate in the other programs which includes educational services provided by a qualified teacher. Whenever possible we like to sue persons advance to a higher level of programming. We do not feel that this type of person will reach cu)npclitive employment especially in the Iowa City arua where- Lilo students of the University of Iowa constitute a large work force. The Nelson Center also provides services for those needing toileting and eating assistance. We also provide for those that are non ambulatory and I believe we can provide for even those you say need nursing care. We are prepared, if at all possible, to provide- services for any referral. Your program serving what you call severely handicapped adults is not the same as the Nulson Center, We provide a nwru work oriented program along with Lilt! other areas, do not rupeal. skill training if Ihuy are being taught in other areas :Incl pruvide a much bl:ltur staff le- clir.nt ratio.

Watson Pa g c 2 about in the Nelson Center are not those people. We still have a number of professionals in our field that believe that mental retardation is a curable condition. The 100 Beverly and profoundly handicapped children served by the Hospital School are not all from throughout the State. Between 60 and 70 of them live in the Johnson County area and attend the school on a daily basis. It is also time for us to think about their future ncuds. I j Instead of elaborating on all of your cuncerns I want to make a couple of final points. I believe that no other program in Johnson County currently exists that provides appropriate day care and training to severely handicapped adults. To this date previuus diructurs of Goodwill LuhisLries havu not provided proper and appropriate services to the most Beverly handicapped. We have persons that have been placed in the Nelson program from the Goodwill Activity Program for a number of years and only recently spend a.few hours a day in other areas. j The previous directors have said that they needed persons in the Activity Center to pay for the space. The Iowa City area and Johnson County needs a good 4 shelLured workshop. I believe that you could provide that service and procure good contracts for persons that will not be able to work in community jobs.

Hearings on these bills have been sche- duled for the next few weeks, but no timetables have been set for passage of the proposed legislation. House 9111 -- Ng local Regulation c= Cable The House of Representatives' bill (H.R. 3333), introduced by communica- tions subcommittee chairman Lionel Van Deerlin (D -CA), would completely replace the Communications Act of 1934. The original draft introduced last summer contained no reference to cable whatsoever; all regulation was left to state and local authorities. The current bill goes even further: regulation of cable television by env governmental authority is prohibited. This prohibition covers all facets of cable television regulation, including broadcast signal carriage, access Chan- nels and services, technical standards, and rates. Another 'provision in H.R. 3333 would alter the broadcast signal carriage rights of cable companies. Cable companies would be required to obtain retransmission consent from either the broadcast station or the holder of the program rights for all signals received by the system. Cable systems now pay a copyright fee for the use of broadcast program- ming. The retransmission consent plan, which was tried by the FCC in the late 1960a and then abandoned as unworkable, would replace the copyright fees. In another mayor shift in com- munications policy, H.A. 3333 permits telephone companies to build and operate cable television systems in their local service areas. However, if telephone companies offer auxiliary cable services such as pay cable or security systems, the company would be required to make the pay cable system's facilities available to other parties wishing to offer similar services. H.A. 3333 also calls for a new Communications Regulatory Commission with five presidentially appointed com- missioners, in contrast to the seven members of the current Federal Communications Commission. Two communications bills have been introduced in the Senate, one by Sen. Ernest Hollings (D -SC), the chairman of the communications subcommittee, and one by Sen. Barry Goldwater (B -AZ). Both bills amend portions of the existing 1934 Communications Act FIICRDFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES (MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB instead of replacing it as the House bill does. Although both bills propose changes in the regulatory scheme for cable television systems, neither bill Proposes changes as drastic�as the House bill. Regulation of cable television under the Hollings bill (5.611) would be divided between federal and non- federal authorities. The federal government, through the FCC, would have Jurisdiction over broadcast signal carriage, cross -ownership restrictions, and pay cable. Use of streets and public ways, franchise fees, basic subscriber service rates, channel capa- city, and access channels and services would be left to state and local regulation. S.611 would allow telephone com- panies to provide cable television ser- vices only with the permission of the FCC. In deciding whether telephone com- panies may provide cable service, the FCC must be convinced that without telephone company involvement, cable services would not be available to a community. Any telephone company providing cable television services must also separate -- such as through separate operating entities -_ its cable televi- sion operations from its noncompetitive operations. The Coldwater bill (5.622) is the only bill that devotes an entire section exclusively to cable television. (The other bills deal with cable television in the sections devoted to broadcasting and common carriers.) The bill sets up three categories of cable television regulation: items that may not be regu- lated by any governmental entity; items that are within the sole Jurisdiction of the FCC; and items that are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the states. No government may require or prohibit program originations or impose any restrictions or obligations affecting CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA the content of program originations; liability for libel and obscenity would fall on the programmer. Regulation of advertising rates, pay cable rates, and access channel rates would also be pro- hibited. Within the exclusive Jurisdiction of the FCC would be technical standards, radio and television signal carriage, and cross -ownership between cable and telephone companies. The FCC is empowered to require the availability of access channels, but only when the cable system "is the only source of video programming in the market served by the cable system." This leaves to local governments such regulatory issues as use of streets, franchise fees, and local complaint procedures. The Goldwater bill would also allow television broadcast stations and net- works to own cable television systems. Common carriers are prohibited from providing cable television services except in rural areas which would not otherwise receive such services. Local Government Groups Meet On HR 3333 On May 1, Harold Horn, Executive Director of the Cable Television Information Center, briefed represen- tatives from the National League of Cities, U.S, Conference of Mayors, National Association of Counties, International City Management Association, and the National © Notes from the Center is published quarterly by the Cable Television Information Center, The Urban Insli• rule.

Horn also wrote to Rep. Lionel Van Deerlin, chairman of the House sub- committee on communications, urging that he set hearing dates for state and local witnesses who wish to express their opinions on the bill. Supreme Court Kills FCC Access Rules H1115[cafc Ildm D Solon yvp By a 6 to 3 vote, the Supreme Court struck down the FCC's cable TV access and channel capacity rules, stating that the Commission had exceeded its statutory authority in imposing the rules on cable systems. No longer valid are the FCC's man- datory requirements that cable systems with 3,500 or more subscribers set aside free channels for use by the Public, schools, and local governments, Nor will cable systems have to comply with the rule directing them to have 20 -channel capacity and a capability for two-way transmissions by 1986. The decision, handed down on April 2, affirmed a lower court ruling won by Midwest Video Corp., a cable company that had challenged the FCC rules on Jurisdictional and constitutional grounds. Effect 9n La.Cal Regulation Although the Supreme Court's ruling nullifies the FCC's authority to impose access requirements on cable operators, it does not automatically deny the right of local governments to do so. State and local authorities appear to be free to enforce access rules of their own making. However, unless a community's cable CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA TV franchise contains specific provi- sions on access, local governments may not be able to require their cable operators to provide the access ser- vices formerly guaranteed by the FCC's rules. Local franchise ordinances have often incorporated the FCC access rules by reference, or have simply stated that the cable operator must comply with the FCC requirements. If local franchise provisions clearly require access, they are enforceable; but if the franchise is not specific, the language will be subject to interpreta- tion. In the future, local authorities can make sure that access will be available in their communities as part of a contract freely negotiated between local officials and the cable operator. Cable .0 z= .Qarr Al'a At the heart of the Supreme Court's decision is the reasoning that the FCC's access rules confer common carrier status on cable systems, and thus abrogate see. 3(h) of the 1934 Communications Act that "a person engaged in ... broadcasting shall not ... be deemed a common carrier." Communications common carriers supply the facilities the public uses to transmit its private messages. By law, they must provide their services to anyone who wishes to hire them, and they cannot control or influence the content of the messages they carry. Examples are television microwave relays, telephone, and telegraph ser- vices. In the absence of specific statutes governing cable TV (the 1934 Act was written before the emergence of televi- sion and cable technology), the Court has twice upheld the FCC's Jurisdiction over cable as being "reasonably /a76 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES HOMES ;MICR0FILMED BY JORM MICROLAB ancillary to the effective performance Of the Commission's various respon- sibilities for the regulation of televi- sion broadcasting." Because the Commission's power to regulate cable TV is ancillary to Sts regulation of broadcasting, the Court said that under see. 3(h) of the 1934 Act the FCC cannot classify or regulate cable as a common carrier. In the Midwea Vid decision, the Court agreed with the respondents' view that the access rules force cable operators to act like common carriers because the rules: -- require operators to set aside channels for use on a first-come, nondiscriminatory basis; -- prohibit operators from determining the content of access programs; and; -- delimit the charges for access channels and use of equipment. The Court held that these rules run counter to see. 3(h) of the Act, and hence the FCC does not have the statu- tory authority to enforce them. Only Congress can impose common carrier sta- tus on cable operators, the Court noted. Moreover, the Court found that Imposing "common -carrier obligations on broadcast systems intrudes on the Jour- nalistic integrity of broadcasters," which "would overshadow any benefits associated with public access." Insuring broadcasters' Journalistic freedom Is consistent with the policy of the Act. Such freedom is not pecu- liar to television broadcasting, nor is it "diminished by the variant technology involved in cable transmissions," the Court stated. Midwest Video Corp, argued that the access rules also violated cable 4 CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA IE operators' First and Fifth Amendment rights by denying freedom of speech and, by taking property for public use without compensation, due process of law. The Court declined to address these issues, save to say that the First Amendment question is not "frivolous," and to make clear that the asserted constitutional issues did not sharply influence its interpretation of the Communications Act. This brief acknowledgment of constitutional questions seems to suggest that the Court may be encouraging a First Amendment challenge on any mandatory access requirements that local regulators might Impose on their cable operators. New Cable N Rules proposed EGC.IAUA T4 E= fap uastriw= Continuing its program to end cable controls, the FCC recently proposed rules aimed at giving cable TV systems more freedom to offer diverse program- ming. On April 25, the Commission voted 6 to 1 to initiate a rulemaking that will end the limit on the number of distant TV broadcast signals cable operators can import via satellite. If adopted, the new rule would mean that the only limit on the number of signals carried by cable operators would be the system's channel capacity. The Commission also agreed to pro- pose to end rules that bar cable opera- tors from duplicating syndicated programming shown by local broadcast stations, These proposals are based on a two- year study of the economic relationship between cable operators and broadcast stations developed by the staff of the FCC's Cable Bureau.

In addition to prohibiting fed - MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES IIDInES ;MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB oral regulation, the new bill would virtually eliminate the option of local regulation as well. Although there is some debate over the precise meaning of the bill's lan- guage, the intent is clearly to prohibit any local regula. tion of signal carriage, subscriber rales, and most other aspects of local control. The Center opposes total federal preemption of local cable regulation for the same reasons we opposed spe. cific FCC preemptive rules and policies. H.R. 3333 naively assumes a homogeneity of needs and circum- lances throughout this country. Such homogeneity simply does not exist. The bill also assumes that local officials are not able to act reasonably and responsibly. The communications "revolution" may well come, and with it a variety of consumer options that will truly allow the "invisible hand" of competition to guide such services in the public interest. We doubt, however, that the revolution will come quickly, and certainly it will not come uniformly to everyone. Meanwhile, in a large number of communities, cable will remain the primary means of receiving television service for many years to come. In cities like Ithaca, New York, and Eugene, Ore- gon, where over 70 percent of the households now subscribe, cable service is hardly one option among many, and thus marketplace forces cannot be expected to ensure reasonable rates and services. Unlike last year's draft, Mr. Van Deerlin has stated that Rewrite If "is the one that's going to move," and he expects final passage before next year's presidential campaign. Subcommittee hearings on the cable aspects of H.R. 3333 are slated for the week of May 4 and 14. For state and local governments who want to maintain their current authority over cable television, now Is the time to express local opinions directly to Congress. The consequences of state and local governments having no role in the regulation of cable TV can have a serious effect on local governments' future relationships with subscribers and cable companies. At no time in the past has local response to a communications Issue been more urgently needed. Midwest Video If The final blow to federally -mandated access to cable television fell on April 2 when the Supreme Court set aside the FCC's access and channel capacity require. ments. The ongoing controversy sparked by these rules has perhaps been diminished, but by no means quieted by the Supreme Court. As adopted by the Commission, the 1972 rules di- rected cable operators to provide a minimum of 20 channels and Iwo -way capability, reserve certain access channels on a nondiscriminatory basis, and make avail- able "minimal" production equipment at low cost to channel users. In addition, cable operators wereex- pressly prohibited from influencing the content of ac- cess programming. lust as the Cable Television Information Center has supported the Intent of these requirements, so have we been critical of the FCC's less than vigorous im. plementation of them. We objected to the 1976 modifications which allowed cable operators to reserve only one channel for access purposes unless there was demonstrated need and unused channels were avail. able. Minimum compliance in most cases meant the reservation of a single channel and less than $10,000 CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA worth of video equipment, rarely sufficient to ensure viable and meaningful access. Ironically, it is these less "onerous" rules that the Court has now rejected. Moreover, FCC enforcement has been often slow and rarely decisive when some operators failed to comply with even these minimum requirements. Our main criticism, however, has been that the Com- mission has often viewed Its "minimum" requirements as "maximums." Expressing concern that local govern- ments could make unreasonable demands on operators, the FCC preempted local franchise pro- visions relating to access and channel capacity which exceeded the Commission's minimum requirements unless a specific waiver was granted. As a result, we have seen many cltieswho negotiated in good faith, but received substantially less access services than they bargained for from the operator they selected. The April 2 decision marks the third time the Court has reviewed the FCC's scope of statutory authority to regulate cable television. In its 1968 decision in U.S. vs. Southwestern, the Court held that the Communications Act of 1934, while not addressing cable television di- rectly, allowed the FCC to regulate broadcast signal car- riage by cable systems on the basis that such rules were "reasonably ancillary to the effective performance of the Commission's various responsibilities for the regulating of television broadcasting." In 1972, the Court again applied this"reasonably ancil. lary" test in the first Midwest Video case and upheld, by only a five to four vote, an FCC requirement that cable operators originate local programming as a condition to the right to carry broadcast signals. In the present Midwest Video case, the Court found that the access rules as modified in 1976 did not meet the ancillary to broadcasting test established in Southwest. ern. Although admittedly less burdensome than the original rules, the Court nevertheless concluded that the access requirements were "common carrier" in na. ture and therefore prohibited by the Communications Act. Relying substantially on its 1973 decision in CBS vs. Democratic National Committee, the Court affirmed that the FCC cannot treat broadcasters, and therefore cable operators, as common carriers. Unlike the local origination requirement, the access rules shifted the control of program content from the cable operator to the access channel user and therefore, the Court con. cluded, erroneously conferred a common carrier status on cable systems, The new Midwest Video decision clearly affects access to cable systems, and it may affect the right of access to broadcast stations as well. While the Commission has chosen not to treat broadcasters as common carriers by requiring access, In CBS the Court appeared to leave some discretion in this matter to the Commission. No such discretionary powers are offered in the present case. The Court concludes, "(0he Commission may not regulate cable systems as common carriers, just as It may not Impose such obligations on television broad. casters. We think authority to compel cable operators to provide common carriage of public -originated trans. mission must come specifically from Congress." Will Congress take such action? We doubt it. The present mood on Capitol Hill is hardly supportive of expanding federal regulation of the media. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MoInES -MICROFiLMED BY JORM MICROLAB "Midwest Video 11" is not necessarily the end for cable access. In the Supreme Court's decision, constitutional Issues were raised regarding cable operators' First Amendment right of free speech and their Fifth Amendment protection against the taking of property without due process. Characteristically, and in our view thankfully, the Court decided the Issue on statutory rather than constitutional grounds. Had It found cable access to be unconstitutional, there would now be no right of access. Instead, the Court ruled only that Con. gress has not expressly granted the FCC authority to require access. LocalAccess Local access requirements appear to remain an op. tion. Although there is no longer an FCC mandate for cable access, there is likewise no longer a federal Preemption restricting the right of local governments to freely negotiate with cable operators for access rights and services. Existing provisions in franchises thus appear fully en. forceable; however, access provided solely on the basis of the former FCC rules is now voluntary and could be terminated. While it is doubtful that there will be im. mediate, widespread abandonment of existing access services by operators, there Is most certainly cause for concern. CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA The greatest uncertainty surrounds the status of exist. ing franchises awarded since 1972 which provide fort access only by referring to the now invalid FCC rules. At best, there may be some grounds, in certain cases, for favorable interpretation or renegotiation. More likely, however, no right of cable access now exists In these communities. It Is possible in the future that attempts will be made to again challenge localaccess rules as unconstitutional. While avoiding the constitutional questions, the Court did state that such arguments are "hot frivolous.' Most vulnerable will be access requirements placed unilater. ally on operators by state or local governments. The Center strongly supports the concept of public access to all media and regrets the demise of the FCC. rules. Despite their shortcomings, cable access over the last seven years would have been a rare phenomenon without them. What Is needed now is widespread rec. ognition that the right of community access, if it is to be preserved and grow, can only be ensured by the actions Of local decision makers. The issue must now be re- solved within each community. M believe this is a cause worth fighting for.

"In the near term," Verveer said, "local TV stations would probably lose no more than 1% of their audience. Long term, about the year 2000, broadcasters could lose up to 9%, but the effect on the program supply industry should be negligible." Vervear aaid that the ultimate policy question is why interfere with consumers' preferences. "If we elimi- nate the rules and regulations that restrict competition, the marketplace will serve the public interest," Verveer said. The Commission is expected to issue the proposed rulemaking within the next three months. The public will have at least 90 days to comment on the pro- posals before the Commission sots. .& HU Delete Limit. m Franchise Fees Another mandatory federal franchise standard governing cable TV may soon be lifted. On April 23, the FCC announced that it will consider whether or not to continue the limitation on franchise fees paid by operators. Currently, the Commission directs state and local governments to limit franchise fees to no more than 3% (or up to 5% if a specific waiver is granted) of a cable company's yearly gross reve- nues from all cable services in a community. The Commission noted that the April 2 Supreme Court decision (see story, p. 3), which found that the FCC does not have the authority to adopt rules requiring cable systems to provide access channels at lees than profit - maximizing rates, appeared to undercut one justification for the franchise fee limitation -- to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet the access obligation. Given that the FCC can no longer regulate access to cable TV, the Commission is requesting comments on whether or not the franchise fee limita- tion should also be eliminated. Comments are due by June 18, replies by July 9. States Cannot Regulate Pay Cable Rates On April 16, the Supreme Court let stand a ruling that the New York State Commission on Cable Television cannot control the rates cable operators charge for commercial -free movies and entertain- ment specials. The Court declined to review a lower court finding that only the FCC can decide if.pay cable rates should be regulated. Three years ago the New York Commission directed cable TV companies to file notices of their pay cable rates with the Commission. The Brookhaven Cable TV Co. and others challenged the directive, contending that it consti- tuted price regulation of pay cable TV, an area preempted by the FCC. To date the FCC has not set rates for pay cable programs, letting instead marketplace forces dictate what cable operators charge for this service. Besides pay cable, the FCC preempts local regulation of signal oarriage, technical quality, and channel use. For the cable industry, the high court's action was seen as a victory. Revenues from pay cable jumped dramati- cally in 1977, and predictions are that income from pay cable will continue to increase at a healthy rate through 1983 (see story, p. 11).

NTIA is the successor to the White House's Office of Telecommunications Policy and Commerce's Office of Telecommunications. Cable TV Revenues Top One Billion The cable industry's healthy eco- nomic state was borne out by data released recently by the FCC. Operating revenues for 1977 totaled $1.2 billion, an increase of $200 million over 1976 revenues. Pretax income reached $133.7 million, double the earnings in 1976. Pay cable revenues dumped more than 100, from $40 million to $85.8 million In 1977. That Increase represents 7% of total revenues, compared to 4% in 1976. Cable systems in California, New York, New Jersey, Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington led the rest of the states in revenues from pay cable. In 1977 pay cable services were offered in 1,949 communities. The Commission's data show that total operating expenses were $716.9 million in 1977, leaving an average operating margin of 40% before interest, depreciation, amortization expenses, taxes, and extraordinary gains and losses • CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA The average monthly subscriber rate for basic service was $6.85, ranging from a statewide low of $5.73 in Pennsylvania to a high of $17.32 in Alaska. This figure does not include chargee for pay cable, an optional subscriber service for which.an addi- tional monthly charge is made. Cable TV reached more than 8,000 communities in 1977. The average cable entity (of which there were 2,600 in 1977) had about 5,000 subscribers and revenues of approximately $468,000.

Ohio, last week. Testifying for NCC before the House 'Commerce sub- committee on communication, Horn stressed the municipal interest in continuing to regulate cable television. Local government's authority to • regulate cable television could be a casualty of sweeping legislation to totally rewrite broadcasting law. The underlying objective of the Com- munications Act of 1979 (H.R. 3333)• Introduced by subcommittee chairman Lionel Van Deerlin (D -Calif.), is deregulation of the broadcasting in- dustry. Section 321 (b) (1) of the act specifically prohibits states from regulating the rates and terms of cable television franchises and implicitly' preempts local governments from similar regulatory activity - Horn suggested that, because cable television has many characteristics of a public utflity, both federal and local regulation of. the industry should continue. Cable television systems usually are monopolies out of necessity, he said, and in such a situation, regulation by the local government may be necessary to assure a reasonable rate structure and to assure maintenance of the system's • CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA deregulation equipment at a level consistent with developments in the industry. Cable television might play many roles in cities, Mayor Horn suggested. it offers a new educational tool for school systems, a way to increase citizen participation in the govem- mentai process through televised governmental hearings and meetings, and a substitute for travel in an energy short community. The subcommittee staff describes the preemptions of state and local regulatory authority as intended to encourage competitioh. Contractual arrangements between local govem- ments and cable television operators should replace local and state regulation, they believe. Mayor Horn warned that simul- taneous deregulation and preemption of state regulatory authority "wduld create a dangerous and unnecessary void in the cable television industry." He argued that any revision of the communications act must explicitly recognize the role of local governments as the regulators of cable television. The language of the bill as presently drafted probably, does not accomplish the limited purpose of enabling local governments to contract with cable television operators. Harold Horn, Executive Director of of cable TV MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110plEs the Urban Institutes Cable Television Information Center, testified with Mayor Horn and pointed out some of the specific problem areas of H.R. 3333. Negotiated contracts between cities and cable operators could not keep up with the rapid changes in the cable market; local regulation, on the other hand, would provide the necessary flexibility. Other matters left unresolved in H.R. 3333 are its effect on the 900 local franchises now in existence, on the municipal ownership of cable systems, on states which have established a statewide agency to award franchises, and on local authority to bargain with the American Telephone and Tele- graph Co" which will be allowed to enter the able business under. the bill. Only two of the thirteen sub- committee members were on hand when Mayor Horn testified: As the government closest. to the people, local government is the logical regulator of able television. Local officials will have to impress upon the subcommittee members the dimensions of.the municipal interest in this area. Members of the subcommittee, in addition to Van Deerling and Collins, are: Democrats John M. Murphy (N.Y.), Timothy E. Wirth (Colo.), Marty Russo (111•), Edward J. Markey -(Mass.), )(Wash.),ThomasA.

CIty MEMORANDUM OATS= June 14, 1979 TO: City \\,Council FROM: Citi tanager RE: Com nsation - Manager and Clerk The salaries for the Manager and the Clerk were determined some months after the conclusion of the FY 79 budget discussions. At that time, the City Council indicated a strong preference for determining these salaries during the discussion of the annual budget. However, during the discussion of the FY 80 budget, the City Council did not choose to make these decisions. On February 28, 1979, in a memorandum to the City Council, the City Manager indicated that the Manager and the Clerk were prepared to provide such information as the City Council may deem appropriate. As the beginning of the FY 80 fiscal year approaches, the Manager and the Clerk would appreciate an opportunity to discuss compensation with the City Council. The current salaries are: Clerk - $18,500; Manager-- $34,344. Comparative information is provided. It should be noted that the current salaries do not even approach the median salary for either position. Because l of executionfofhmanygmajoreprograms, thental factathatity Iowan Iowa City isiat,theetop of the 25,000 - 50,000 population range, and our level of performance, which we believe is certainly above the median level, the Council is requested to consider appropriate compensation adjustments. Both the Clerk and the Manager have achieved recognized standing in their Professional fields. The Clerk is a "Certified Municipal Clerk" and the Manager is a full member of the Academy for Professional Development. The City of Ames is offering an $18,000 starting salary for a city clerk. The present clerk retired after seven years at Ames with a salary for 1979 of $22,500. The duties in Ames are almost identical to those in Iowa City. According to the International Institute of Municipal Clerks, the median salary in 1977 for city clerks in our region was $19,000. The Iowa City City Clerk does not receive that amount in 1979. After taking into account increased income taxes, the take-home pay increase for the City Manager for the last calendar year amounted to approximately $715. With an inflation rate of about 10 percent, this amounted to a loss in buying power of approximately $2,000. The salary for the Iowa City School Superintendent,with one year experience, is in excess of the City Manager's with 13 years experience as a city manager. /0171 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1401RES t ',-MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA City Council June 74, 1979 Page 2 The salary for the School Superintendent as of July 1, 1979, will be $39,055. I believe that an appropriate salary for the City Manager would be an amount at least equivalent to the third quartile for cities of 25,000 - 50,000 Population. It should be noted that the salary for the previous city manager, five years ago, was almost $30,000. The difference between the salary of the previous city manager and the current salary represents a 12.9 percent increase over a five-year period. In addition, at the time I accepted employment in Iowa City my salary was about $3,400 less than the salary being paid to the previous city manager. A time has been scheduled at the meeting of June 18 to discuss compensation with the Clerk and the Manager.

The statistics were compiled by ICMA's Center for Municipal Data with a total or 2,023 cities, 378 counties, and 434 COGS reported salaries. The figures were broken down by population groups and regions in the following tables. Trends Following the trend of recent years, mean salaries for managers and administrators showed slight increases. The mean salary of city managers (Table 1) rose 5.92 compared with the 7'X, increase reported in 1978. County administrators (Table 2) are earning 7.62 more this year, compared with a 32 increase in 1978. The mean salary for COG directors (Table 3) rose 6.32 after a 12 gain in 1978. On a regional basis (Table 4), city managers' salaries show fairly consistent in- creases in all parts of the country. Managers in the Northeast, with a mean of $23,088, are earning 6.72 more this year than they did last year. In the North Central region the mean salary is $29,041, an increase of 5.67, over last year. Managers in the South received a 7.62 raise, the largest of any region in the country. Their mean salary is now $26,207. The Nest recorded a 4.32 rise, the lowest of any region. The mean salary in the West, however, is $33,655, the high- est of any region.

The offer from the DEY Corporationp w as of onlSeptember 15, 1977. The CityBuilding designated the DEY Building Corporation the preferred developer of Parcel 64-1 on October 4, 1977. At the time the property was bid the City stated in the Prospectus that the City preferred a fall 1979 construction start, so that Block 64 could be retained for parking until the Block 83 ramp was completed. In May 1978, the developer requested, by letter, that the construction start be in February 1979. The early start was deemed necessary because of financingarrangements and the proposed 15 month construction schedule (giving only one winter's construction). TheCounci 1 agreed to a February 1979 construction start at the informal session of July 3, 1978. In November 1978, the staff met with representatives of the BEY Building Corporation. At that time we were advised that there was reluctance on the part of the Corporation to proceed with the project, but that several of the local investors wished to proceed with a transfer of the Corporation's interest to their consultants, Turner Development Co. or Jarred Schlaes and Co. We were advised that full details regarding the new structure should be expected in late January or early February. Following several letters and phone calls, we finally met with repre- sentatives of the developer to discuss plans on May 22. At this meeting the proposed developer entity was discussed, and they requested the City consider issuing revenue bonds to finance the hotel development. The Urban Revitalization Bill, recently signed by the Governor, authorizes revenue bonds for this purpose. The staff has thoroughly discussed the matter and has reviewed the situation with the City's bonding consultant, bonding attorney, and Mr. Donald Zuchelli. The use of revenue bonds for this purpose offers significant financial advantages due to the reduced rate of interest on the indebtedness. However, the introduction of these advantages at this stage poses serious potential legal problems from the standpoint of the competitive bidding requirements of Iowa law. Accordingly, it is advised that the City not consider issuing revenue bonds for this purpose unless the property is rebid. is yJ0 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES I4OI9ES I _ -.MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB I I _i i I I I i r i I .i I I i • CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA 2 Attached to this memorandum is a letter which has been sent to the BEY Building Corporation.

Unless the City can be satisfied concerning the progress of the project by that time, it is recommended that the property be re -bid. bj MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES -.-IMICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB �i June 12, 1979 Mr. George Nagle 1201 South Gilbert Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear George: • CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA The City staff has thoroughly discussed the proposed hotel development as outlined by Jim Hogan at our meeting on May 22. While the use of revenue bonds for financing a hotel appears to be very attractive from a financial standpoint, the use of this mechanism by the City at this time could pose serious legal problems. The use of municipal bonding auth- ority would be a substantial change from the conditions under which the site was competitively bid, and such a change raises serious questions regarding the competitive bidding requirements of Iowa law. Accord- ingly, I cannot advise the Council to undertake such action at this time. It will be advisable for the City to terminate the designation of the BEY Building Corporation as the preferred developer and to rebid the parcel unless full details regarding the transfer of the DEY Building Corporation's interest in the offer, including the feasibility of conventional financing, are received by the City on or before July 10, 1979. The Council will consider your request for transfer of interest on July 17. If the Council approves the transfer of interest, we will need to finalize contract language and file the contract with the City Clerk by August 1. If the Council does not wish to approve the transfer, or if contract terms cannot be agreed upon on or before August 1, 1979, the parcel will be rebid. If action is taken to rebid the parcel, the City will explore further the benefits of revenue bonding financing, and may choose to rebid the parcel with this possibility. The City prefers however that the de- velopment proceed expeditiously under the terms of the existing offer.

The first order of business was to elect a new Chairperson. Roxanne Holdeman has moved out of the Ralston Creek flood area. She would like to remain active in the Committee's affairs but she does not feel she can remain as Chairperson. Jim Hall was elected Chairman of the Committee. Ed Brinton presented the final Storm Water Management Plan and proceeded through the report explaining the philosophy and intent of the report. There was discussion about future funding, general obligation bonds, the actions of a new Council after elections, etc. There was discussion about the Small Cities Grant Program. We have received 2 million dollars from the grant and there was a question whether we will be eligibile in future years or whether becoming an SMSA will put us into a different category. A question was asked about the availability of alternative funding when the City becomes an SMSA. Brinton pointed out that page 1 was a description of previous reports that had been done on Ralston Creek. These are available at the Public Library. Previous reports go into great detail about the two storm water storage improvements on the south branch of the dam and the north branch, therefore, this report treats these two projects briefly. There was discussion about the Hickory Hill dam on the north branch of the creek. Discussion centered about the reaction of Regina High School. There was some feeling that Regina did not perceive the City in a good light since the City had been very aggressive in seeking Regina's land after another parcel of land near Regina was sold to a developer. It was felt that it would be beneficial to go to Regina again and discuss it with members of the School Board. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES /,V9' 0 ;•MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB 2 CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA 1 Glasgow asked why it needed to be put on Regina's land. It was explained that alternate sites further downstream were no longer available due to a subdivision that had been constructed in the last two years. Glasgow suggested that it would be best if a small group from each side discussed the problem rather than a large group of 30 or 40 people. Glasgow asked what was going to happen to First Avenue and where will it go. It was pointed out that this will•have to be an•issue to be addressed by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Plastino stated that Stanley was working on the question of Ben SummerwiIIIs crossing and preliminary indications were that the road would be raised to be over the 100 year flood pool. There was discussion about Ralston Creek Village and the decision that had been made by the Board of Adjustment. On page 15 of the report is the section that states the goals of the study. In most places the channel is being designed to handle a 10 year storm but in three locations the channel can handle the 100 year storm. There was discussion about the National Copy Center. The report recommends measures to alleviate flooding. The Committee questioned whether the City should perhaps buy it or have the owner protect it at his cost. There was a question about where money goes when the City resales land in the Small Cities Grant Program. Mr. Brinton stated that each reader needed to go through the channel improvements very carefully to determine exactly what this portion of the report signifies. On pages 59 and 60 is a tabulation of the costs. It was decided that the Committee had two objectives in the next two weeks. 1. Read the report and meet again to make recommendations to Council on portions of the report the Committee either agrees with or disagrees with. 2. Decide on how much funding will be requested from Council and how many years the funding will be spread over. 3. There was a question as to whether GO bonds can be sold now for expenditures in later years. It was decided that another meeting will be held June 13. bj cc: City Council MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES .MICROFILMED BY JORM 14ICROLAB • CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA MINUTES RALSTON CREEK COORDINATING COMMITTEE JUNE 13, 1979 CITY MANAGER'S CONFERENCE ROOM PERSONS IN ATTENDANCE: Charles Eastham, Audrey Scott, Jane Jakobsen, Helen Kavanaugh, Jim Hall, Ed Brinton, Dick Pl.astino, Jane Kinney The meeting was for the purpose of commenting on the Ralston Creek Stormwater Management Plan prepared by Shoemaker-Haaland Engineers. A second purpose of the meeting was to give recommendations to Council for priority of funding. The meeting opened with a discussion of the Small Cities Grant Program. A question had been asked as to whether the City would resell land that we take in the Small Cities Grant Program; the answer was affirmative. There was discussion about the copy center at the northwest corner of Benton and Gilbert. At first the Committee felt that this firm was getting preferential treatment by being flood -proofed at government expense but it was pointed out that the entire Small Cities Grant area provides federal funds to upgrade the area and make it a viable commercial and economic entity. It was pointed out that several businesses in the area would be receiving economic benefit either by being relocated or by lessoned flood damage. There was discussion about whether it would be cheaper to buy the copy center and move the occupants. It was pointed out that under federal guidelines the relocation expense would include the cost to move the business, relocate them and pay losses for a period of years after they had been moved. In this case it appeared that it would be cheaper to flood -proof the copy center. It was decided that no extra money would be required from any other sources of funding for plates two and three other than the Small Cities money. There was discussion about how to acquire several properties along the creek that were not needed immediately for construction projects. It was felt that the best way to handle this in an expeditious manner would be to set up a $500,000 reserve fund so that purchases could be made immediately as property came on the market. It was pointed out that the City's budget process procedures are too long and involved to obtain property expeditiously. It was pointed out that often times houses come on the market and are sold within 24 hours. There was a motion made to recommend to the City Council that the City set up a $500,000 fund in FY81 for real estate acquisition. The motion was seconded and passed. There was discussion about sources of funding which might occur from resale of the Small Cities land and from leftover HCDA funds. It was decided that it would be extremely desirable to reserve these funds for remaining Ralston Creek projects.

The Committee members were split about the desirability of conferring a benefit upon this one particular property. Arguments were heard on both sides of the question. On one hand, it appeared the National Copy Center was receiving undue benefit by the expenditure of federal funds while on the other hand, it appeared that the National Copy Center was not receiving benefits any greater than that to be received by other businesses in the area. Discussion centered about plate four which is the section from Washington Street to Clapp Street. It was pointed out that in this area the major feature was replacement of the Iowa Avenue box culvert. This was to be uture replaced when. it was structurally deteriorated and not in the near f as a flood solution. Under these conditions it was pointed out that much of the area will continue to flood but that it is largely multi -family and investor owned. The major remedy for flooding in this area will be flood - proofing of new structures as they are built. There was discussion about the Credit Union building. It was pointed out that they are.building a new building in the flood plain. Plastino will check to see if they are flood -proofing. There was discussion about plate five. This is the area where the north and south branch come together. There was discussion about how one but p apparently itowner in this aexte ely gdifficultmightt severalive parcels s of land to the City Plastino will check into the legal procedures for giveing land land to o the City. A discussion turned to sheet eight which is the Rundell Street neighbor- hood. There was discussion about procedures for a special assessment for the stormwater pump station in this area. It appeared desirable to begin the project between Sheridan and Center and then complete the project at a later date from Center to Court. A motion was made to recommend to the City Council that the vacant right- of-way of Grant Court be reserved for relocation of houses from other portions of the Ralston Creek flood plain. The motion was seconded and passed. A motion was made that the City acquire a parcel of land lying over the creek channel from Court to College. It appears that it is available for the taxes owed on the land. The motion was seconded and passed. along RackMr. Brinton explained sheet seven which is the area of the creek lying DrainageeSystemss isndstoringamuch ofs theirwas materiPointed out that Advanced zoned residential and they should not be doing this.

In this area two culverts will be enlarged at F Street and Fourth Avenue. In addition, the channel will be widened. A land form will be built east of First Avenue on a tributary of the creek. There was discussion about sheet nine and extended discussion about the Jones property. It was decided to recommend to Council that the property owners on the south side of Friendship be encouraged to purchase land on the north side of the creek and the property on the south side of the creek should be allowed to develop under private ownership. The City Council had asked for a recommendation from the Committee. The Committee's recommendation is that the City not be involved in purchase of this land in any fashion. Bruce Glasgow submitted several written comments on the Plan. These are attached. Due the lateness of the hour, the Committee decided not to address project priorities or fundings at this time. Plastino will prepare a sheet which will outline options for funding and for work that can be done with a new work crew that will work exclusively on waterways in Iowa City. A meeting was set up for 7:30 p.m. June 27th to discuss this matter. i bdw 1 i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MonIES i ;MICROFILMED BY DORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA P RALSTON CREEK COORDINATING COMMITTEE June 13, 1979 INDIVIDUAL REPORT SUBMITTED BY: Bruce R.

REASON: The sanitary sewer presently terminates an private property. If the sewer is extended at the present time, the City can acquire the property oreasements at little extra cost to get the sanitary sewer onto City property "> for future extension. It will cost leas to do the job now than it ever will +� in the future, in that the City would have to again negotiate with the owner to make the required connections. Additionally, the possibility of misalign— ment of the planned sewer extension would be eliminated. The possibility of at having to bore thru a $800,000.00 retention facility should be avoided. wJ ti HICKORY HILL DETENTION POND (Figure 3, Page fi) s: RECOMMENDATIONS: (1) The sanitary sewer now existing in the vicinity of the porposed Hickory Hill Dam, should be extended easterly toward the proposed First Avenue Extension prior to construction of the Hickory Hill facility. (2) Include in the Hickory Hill Facility, plans and funding to provide an extension of First Avenue over the impounded Ralston Creek Area. t REASONS: (1) Sewer: There are more than 400 acres of undeveloped properties I EL East of the Hickory Hill Dam site that can and should be served with sanitary ' sewer. The sewer should be correctly sized and extended through the facility It for this future development. (2) First Avenue: The present alignment proposal for the First `Y Avenue Extension will be placed under eight to ten feet of water during a 100 year flood. The cost of raining the roadway to the proper elevation should be included within the cost of the dam. If it is not, another request for a 1 environmental impact statement is a definite possibility. A political deci— sion on the advisability of having a main roadway under water during flood times could solve this problem also. yj STORM WATER DETENTION PONDS UND R THE STORM WATER MANAG mFNr RDINANC (See page 68) RECOMMENDATION: Accept the 0.30 cfe acre release rate as recommended by S h H S and adopt this as part of the Storm Water Management ordinance without delay. REASON: The 0.15 cfs acre release rate has been held to be too restrictive prior to the adoption of the ordinance, during subdivision construction and :i during court testimony. The 5 & H recommendation of 0.30 cfa acre rate is in .—� line with the recommendations of other professionals. RECOMMENDATION: PROVIDE for some type of "Hold Hermlesa Insurance" coverage .._ to be secured and paid for by the City covering land owners, lessee's and home owners who have all or parts of their properties in storm water detention panda.

REASON: Existing ponds are dangerous and should be eliminated. (LONGFELLOW SCHOOL ALTERNATE SITE) (See page 13D) "Past experience has demonstrated that public acceptance of a storage site is difficult to obtain when the lives of children may be threatened". A local developer has informed the Ralston Creek Coodinating Committee that he has re- ceived complaints from residents in his developments, where etormwater deten- tion ponds have been constructed, that their children have had to be pulled from the ponds. There is a petition now being circulated in the Washington Street and Amhurst Street area relative to the hazards of the Stormwater Detention Pond.

For some time the State has intended to try out a formula for State assistance but this project has not come to fruition. With regard to our UMTA federal grant, progress is being made although it is slow. The federal government has provided 50% of the funding and the State government has commited the other 50% from another section of the federal program which is administered by the State. At the present time the only roadblock concerns the "130 labor agreement. The Federal Department of Labor is requiring several modifications. The Johnson County Regional Planning Commission is working with the University of Iowa, Johnson County, Coralville, and Iowa City's legal staff to get these difficulties ironed out. The program itself appears to be in no jeopardy but it will take time. cc: Hugh Mose jm3/5 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MONIES R :^s ;,MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB • CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: To: From: Re: June 6, 1979 Dennis Kraft, Neal Berlin, Iowa City Council, and the Johnson County Board of Supervisors Bette Meisel and Ben Wiese, Department of Planning and Program Development The Senior Center "Rural Outreach" Program - Summary Report In the "Rural Outreach" Program we sought to accomplish a number of goals. Foremost, was to reach as many senior citizens in the Iowa City -Johnson County area as possible, to explain what senior centers in general are and some specifics about the planned Multi -Purpose Center being developed in the former U.S. Post Office building in downtown Iowa City. Handouts were provided for the audiences to help them become more aware of how a Multi -Purpose Center would help meet the needs of senior citizens. Attached are copies of the handouts we distributed. We began with printed sheets while developing a more permanent brochure which was completed and made available to a capacity crowd of senior citizens at the "Older American's Day Celebration", May 25, at the Recreation Center in Iowa City. The slide presentation, "The Bridge," originally obtained from the National Council on Aging, Washington D.C., was adapted with permission. The adaptation includes slides of activities, services, programs, sites, etc. from the Iowa City -Johnson County area. The sound track and slides were adapted by Ben Wiese. The presentation was made to 25 audiences. All of the groups were senior citizens, City Council Members from outlying communities, concerned citizens and townspeople. The presentations were made to the following groups: Council of Elders, Agency Service providers, Regional Planning Commission, three University Practicum classes studying Gerontology, Congregate Meals at Close Mansion, Solon Council, Senoir Citizen group at Swisher, Schueyville Council, Oxford Council, University Heights Council, North Liberty Council, Tiffin Council, Swisher Council, Pot Luck and Card Club at Solon, Hills Council, North Liberty Senior Citizen's pot luck, Iowa City Council, Lone Tree Council, Coralville Farm Bureau Program Chairman meeting, Oxford -Tiffin pot luck, Autumn Club pot luck of Coralville, Older American's Day Celebration at the Recreation Center. The total audience was 554 persons. In addition to the slide presentations, a one-page flyer was prepared and included in an A.A.R.P. mailing to 250 senior citizens in the county. The new brochure was made available to all who attended "Older American's Day." Approximately 200 received the brochure. 350 of the brochures will be included in next month's A.A.R.P. mailing. Consequently, we have reached about 1350 people in the MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES lobo I .;MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA 2 county, 554 formally and about 800 informally throught he handouts and brochures. Response from the groups to whom our slide presentations were made was overwhelmingly receptive. The warm response was engendered by a number of factors: I. Senior citizens are interested in the Potential of Multi -Purpose Centers; 2. We represented all of the governing bodies of importance to the people in the area - the City of Iowa City, the Johnson County Board of Supervisors, plus the Regional Planning Commission; 3. Barb Murray, from Regional Planning, was able to fill me in on the nature, characteristics, and concerns of each community and group. This made it possible for us to adapt the presentation to the uniqueness of the community and group. In spite of the fact taht the April and May Agendas were very crowded, we did receive some very significant feedback from the Councils and interested townspeople in the various groups. A positive consequence of the full agendas was the fact that there were usually quite a number of townspeople present. I will summarize very briefly, but specifically, the concerns which were raised. Except for items of concern listed under 1, 2 and 3 which were most often raised, the listing is not in descending order of importance. 1. Transportation problems - How would the senior citizens get to Iowa City to be involved in the Center's activities and services? 2. Parking - Will there be enough parking space for senior citizens to drive their cars to the center? 3. Costs - Costs for senior citizens who participate in the activities and services of the Center? What will be the additional costs to the taxpayer? Will it have an effect on the property taxes in Iowa City and Johnson County? 4. Access to the Center - Concern about steps, elevators, off street pedestrian entrances, loading and unloading areas, etc. 5. The effect the center will have on currently active senior citizen groups such as Congregate Meals, card clubs, social meetings, etc. Will the Center replace these? Will the Center supplement these? 6. How will the Center contribute to the welfare, needs, interests, and concerns of senior citizens in the outlying areas of Johnson County? 7. What is the level of senior citizen involvement in planning for the Center? What will be the level of their involvement in the running of the Center - planning of programs, activities, and services? MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINEs MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB • CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA 3 8. What will be the qualifications of the soon to be hired Center Director? Will the Director be one who is trained in the Social Services? Will the Director by one with a service orientation? 9. What is and what will be the role of the Johnson County Council on Aging in the planning and coordination of programs and services of the Center? 10. Will there be adequate space for large group use of the Center - dining, kitchen, assembly, and group activities? 11. Will the Center expand its influence into existing Congregate Housing sites, such as Lone Tree, for example? A number of the communities seem to be very protective of what they have going for themselves. 12. What about S.E.A.T.S. service and costs? Will rural Johnson County senior citizens be expected to contribute more towards the cost? Will the service be expanded to include regular routes to outlying areas? Will there be large enough vehicles available to carry large groups from communities to the Center? Is there a possibility of some reciprocal arrangement with Linn County, for example, to assist senior citizens in the Swisher- Shueyville area obtain better service? 13. How will the Center be involved with senior citizen volunteer activities - both as workers and as recipients. 14. How will the Center function to bring rural elderly and urban elderly together in beneficial ways? What services and activities can the Center provide in and for the rural communitites? 15. When will the Center be ready? Most of the concerns we could deal with satisfactorily, at least in part, others remain to be answered as plans for the Center continue to unfold. Most of the concerns are very practical ones and must be taken very seriously in the continued development of plans for the Center. Some of the concerns such as transportation and parking will be difficult to deal with. Other concerns will require adept political and public relations activities by the Center Director. Still others will require a continued sensitivity to and monitoring of the needs and interests of senior citizens in the area as the Center unfolds as a reality. Few concerns deal with the quantity or quality of services, but instead, they deal with - How will I be able to get there to participate? or Will I loose the services and opportunities I now have near home? MICROFILMED BY JORM MIOROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOIRES ;MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB 1 • CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA 4 Since the "reality" of a Center is still about one year away, it will be necessary to continue a strong advertising and public relationship program. It would seem that after a Center Director has been hired, and some progress is being made in the renovation of the Post Office buiding, that this would be the best time to begin making a concerted effort. It is more difficult to sell an idea than a reality. This observation is based on a number of senior citizen reactions which indicated a presence of doubt in their minds that the Center would ever be established. A final observation. It would seem to me that the Johnson County I Council on Aging must be brought more concretely into the final planning and eventual coordiantion of programs and services of the Center. If the Center is to be the hub of activity and services for senior citizens in the area, the Council on Aging must be involved in a more creative, innovative, and leadership way. Under the Older Americans Act passed by Congress, the Council on Aging has been mandated the responsibility for providing programs and services to meet the needs of the aging. Senior citizens who use the Center must be able to count on this. How this can be accomplished will depend to a large degree on the competency of the Center Director and possibly directives from the appropriate governing bodies. The following community resources and activities for senior citizens are found in Johnson County: Three Congregate meal sites in Iowa City; senior citizen potluck dinners in Swisher, Solon, North Liberty, Autumn Club in Coralville, Oxford -Tiffin, and both Congregate Housing and Meals at Lone Tree. Further on-going groups, activities, and programs will be identified in the next phase of the "Rural Outreach" program. We will be meeting Monday, June 4, to determine the next steps in the "Rural Outreach" program. A final report on my involvement as a Social Work Intern will be submitted after July 15, upon the completion of my Practicum. bj3/3-6 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES i I R (i llll � U) i 3 w W 3 tflu all 0 0 4- U a OE � In O �n�i x UU) (1).o � x 0 0 0 0 0 0 �: 0 3 O ►-� � Lt., 't7 Z » O u W N U cn OEM 3 0 00 o o c In v L N +� m c o u u a v N 9 > C am -1 O •^ m O w v O a0i ¢ L w d^ _ NL a� d V N u1 U pm L .� N L 0 m c ry y r c m ^' y ..1 ry 0 a v c m o U J a N '00 a L aTl L wu a •- OO 3 C (11 L ,^ O 0'- N ' U W ^' E m O ut v a .� •i • m L m u VI L° z`^ ao d C C OI J VI •O n U u vcm d ^ Y O1 wpi W m 0 C d N C O J m a L 9 L 0 0 r� ca v>•- �v m c E O c n L a p L t E o m mt +•' o O 3 .^ O ut N .- p^ GI E E C c a.l N m t a) N c � > o o T 'a 3 a �•o� aciL o 3 y.M3v E 0>> u a+ w m L ut d d UJ d C L w L 41 O /--1 N U E y y ^. j m •- � m L 4- C L y O) L y L vu ov v> 0 d ++ v L O d L d .-• t u L c i y L L L v L X m O. h VI d Cl 01 O O `J 1 1 I 1 1 1 I 1 1 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CFDAP RAPIM-0f5 1101riE5 E m L m y O L • Q. d E WW1 o ma ^o O rn u 0 L N Of O1 OI p ut •- •r O m L N O d 01 yml U J C N E ut O WN O J Q m •.-m an d N•- V 7 N O �N GI O Q101N9 Q n w c C w c a U.

Some clarification was needed regarding the Community Education Act. The Director of Parks and Recreation explained that the Act says that schools have the right and duty to provide leisure services. It is felt that this is an infringement upon the Parks and Recreation rights. This is not a Problem in Iowa City, but some communities are extremely upset about it. The Library Director clarified the item about the public records law which says that all public records are open to the public. It is felt that library records (which show which books are checked out by whom) should be an exemption to this law. The Director of Public Works explained his request to simplify special assessments. This is extremely complex from a legal viewpoint. The State of Minnesota has a much simpler procedure which we want to follow. The recommendations are to be sent to the League by June 15. The staff was asked to write a short paragraph on their concerns and submit to the Assistant City Manager by the end of next week. The school crossing guard program was briefly discussed., The Assistant City Manager advised that the City Manager will be meeting again with the School Superintendent. It was his understanding that the City will expect the School Board to finance everything over $25,000 but the City will continue to administer the program.

PEIRCE Lla/� ".. o km wellsom Pun mm anus STATE JETS, helicopters or specialtimau- daes stand ready to whisk industrialleta from one potential factory site to another. States are spending 67 million annually on ads in' Fortune and elsewhere to extol themselves as the nirvana for footloose big flims. Foralft parties stand ready to travel on a minute's notice to romance a hot industrial prospect. A candy store of special tax abatements is being offered to proper tive boolues. It's the grand game of "smokestack chasing„ — the Indiscriminate bunt, pitting state against state, city against city, for the big catch of the multi-tboo- and -job factory that is supposed to unmitigated prosperity wherever It deigns to land. It now appears, however, that in putting mat of their effort behind the scramble for big firms' plants, the states have been batting up the wrong tree. Mounting evidence suggests that smokestack chasing not only involves excessive costs, but leads to abuses and generates fierce and eo taterVoilso- tive rivalries among stats. More seriously, it mieses the point that the over- whlmleg majority of new jobs are crated by small entrepreneurial enterprises. The mast impressive evidence Odgioata with economist David Birch of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Birch tracked firms- ar coitntleg for 62 percent of the atloe's private jab over a seven-year perlod. Exploding myths leff.and riot, be found: e Virtually no firms migrate thea days from one area to another in the sense of hiring a moving van sed reheating their operations.

This heavily traveled walk is rather narrow.

Old Brick is supported by a combination of private funds, public donations and National Historic Preservation grants.

Staff will discuss alternatives at a later date. Balmer asked if a consultant could be retained. 9. Dietz explained the situations at the end of Virginia Drive and at Ridgewood Lane. City crews have dumped rip -rap at the end of Virginia Drive, which has stabilized the erosion. At Ridge- wood there is a hole in the storm sewer, which is now surrounded by a snowfence.
