INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION
OCTOBER 12, 1979
INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION: October 12, 1979, 1:30 P.M., Conference Room
at the Civic Center. Mayor Robert Vevera presiding.
COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT: Balmer, deProsse, Erdahl, Perret, Vevera. Absent:
Neuhauser, Roberts.
STAFFMEMBERS PRESENT: Berlin, Karr, Helling, Chiat, Scholten.
TAPE-RECORDED: Reel H79-27, Side 1, 1030 -End.
Don Zuchelli was present to discuss the proposed prospectus for the hotel
site, Block 64, as distributed to Council, with admonition by City Manager
Berlin that all copies were to be returned at the end of the discussion.
Zuchelli started with page 14, noting that $250,000 would be the minimum price
for the parcel, and a higher offer could be made. He is urging the use of
conventional financing, but agreeable that revenue bonds will be issued upon
request, under the following conditions: 1) it is clearly understood that
the City is not legally responsible for the debt,if a default, and 2) a
rescinding of an ordinance which required a developer to prepare a bond
prospectus for City review. Attorneys Haynie & Hayek agreed that the City
should be responsible for re -drafting the bond prospectus. Berlin agreed.
The cooperation of the developer would be required to provide data for
the city.
After discussions with bonding attorney, he decided that the developer would
need to put up 10% equity, 90% debt. The minimum number of rooms has raised
to 135, the building.should not be less than three stories, installation
of a central heating, air conditioning and ventilation system will be re-
quired,:conference space and banquet rooms to accommodate 350 people will be
required, with a minimum number for seating requirements for dining room,
indoor swimming pool required, also pedestrian connection between parking
garage and hotel.
Regarding hotel management issue, the City will require provision of a guarantee
of a management agreement that would be non -cancellable for length of time bonds
are outstanding. City would make no parking cost concessions for utilization
for ramp, the ramp access and egress would not be changed, but if changed under
a change order, the developer would pay costs. The foundations are sufficient
for an additional 250 cars, but these two floors would be added at the devel-
oper's cost. It would probably be a 6-8 story hotel, with 5 story parking.
Zuchelli then announced one major change. One developer has secured a letter
of intent from a large department store & for other support shops to be built
with the hotel. Because of the success of the downtown, Zuchelli stated that
he thought that it was in the public interest to encourage this alternative.
deProsse was concerned about vacant space from businesses moving into the
Mall. Zuchelli is recommending an additional 90,000 square feet, 65,000 for
major dept. store and 25,000 for specialty stores. Developers will have the
option of bidding on a hotel only, or for a hotel with retail space. Zuchelli
will evaluate the bids, and stated that unless he was instructed by Council,
the parameters on which Council wants him to evaluate, is that we have changed
market circumstance and are in a position to stem further expenditure outflows
at a level he did not think we could achieve two years ago.

After discussion of previous analysis, Zuchelli stated that he could go
thru expenditure pattern and income flows and see if there is a sufficiency
of dollars in the market place, then Council could decide to strike or modify
the alternative. deProsse called attention to the impact on existing develop-
ments of an additional two floors on the ramp. Zuchelli advised letting the
developer worry about the design and impact. Library site was discussed.
Zuchelli said that it was a unique opportunity to work in a City that can choose
a department store, usually they are trying to find a department store to come
in. Additional rooms in the hotel help guarantee a name hotel. He stated that
a hotel is mandatory on this site, and will help provide full service to.the
City.
City Mgr. Berlin agreed that staff would work with Zuchelli in the following
areas: 1) expenditure analysis, 2) library site, & 3) use of existing build-
ings, and report back to Council, and publishing of the.prospectus will be
delayed. Zuchelli indicated that 90 days was an adequate bid period, and time
enough to conduct a market study. He suggested that both hotel and store be
on.the Plaza Corner, as a single integrated development. Tom Cilek asked
several.questions. Berlin noted that as there are no height limitations in
the prospectus, they might want to add them.
Meeting adjourned, 2:50•

Before opening the floor for public discussion, Jakobsen explained that the Planning
and Zoning Commission has no authority to determine the appropriateness of site
for public housing and is only considering the issue of vacating the street
right-of-way.
(a) Grant Court between Grant Street and Rundell Street
I
Dave Deinos, 608 Rundell Street, explained that this space is enjoyed as a green
space by the residents and that if it is vacated it should be with the stipulation
that it be maintained as a green space. He later expressed his feelings that while
this is not a public street, limited access should be maintained for City maintenance
vehicles.
.Jerry Flanagan, 436 Grant Street, expressed his concerns that the storm sewer does
not handle all the water from storms at the present time and that if the right-of-way
is vacated for building purposes it will create more problems during storms. He
also indicated that HUD has stated that if wet basements occur after further
development in this area corrective actions would be taken.
Audrey Scott, 502 Grant Street, explained that this intersection is the lowest corner
of the area and that if this development is allowed it will create more of a flooding
problem. She further stated that she would not like to see the vacation done for
housing purposes.
'ferry Donnelly, 509 Rundell, stated that this area is enjoyed as it green, open space
and that if it is vacated that it would be better to stipulate that it not be built
on.
John Wakefield, 923 Iowa Avenue, stated that he has a friend who lives on Rundell
Street. He further stated that the houses are jammed in very tightly at this time
and that additional green space is appropriate.
Kammermeyer stated that he will vote against the vacation because he feels that the
City should hold onto this property with possible bikeways or other accesses being
constructed along Ralston Creek at a future date. He also expressed concern that
if the right-of-way is vacated the property will likely be disposed of.
Vetter explained that she shared Kammermeyer's concerns and further explained that
she would be interested in exploring the possibility of maintaining it as a mini
i
park.
Kammermeyer stated that he would like to receive input from the Parks and Recreation
i Commission or from the Director of Parks and Recreation before voting on this vacation
item.
Kammermeyer moved, and Vetter seconded, that staff assistance be requested in obtaining
the Park and Recreation Commission's recommendation regarding the desirability of
having a mini park in this area, the question of maintenance if kept as a mini park,
1 and the possibility of keeping it as a green space with residents being responsible
for the maintenance. The motion failed 1-5, with Kammermeyer voting in favor.
Blum stated that he voted against the motion for staff assistance because he felt
that the Commission had been asked to look at a specific issue (the vacation of the
MICROFILMED BY

right-of-way) and he felt that the Commission should look at this issue as it is
intended rather than at possible alternatives for the future.
Lehman expressed his agreement with Mr. Blum and explained that he felt the residents
would do better to discuss their concerns regarding a green space with the City
i
Council.
i
Lundquist stated that he felt the input from the Parks and Recreation Commission
would still be valid and he would prefer to defer action until the next meeting.
Allen Wolfe, 1210 Grant Court, explained that he was concerned about the Grant Street
side and that he felt it was imperative to keep the access on the west side of the
street for improvements on Ralston Creek.
Lundquist moved, and Kammermeyer seconded, that action on this vacation item be
deferred until the next regular meeting (November 1). Motion failed 2-4, with
Kammermeyer and Lundquist voting in favor.
Lehman then moved, and Blum seconded, that the right-of-way on Grant Court between
Grant Street and Rundell Street he vacated with the appropriate casements being
maintained to allow for implementation of the Stormwater Management Ordinance and the
Ralston Creek Watershed Management Plan. Motion was approved 5-1, with Kammermeyer
against.
Blum explained to the residents present that from past experience the City Council
has preferred that the Planning and Zoning Commission not recommend any actions other
than those requested. lie further explained that the residents would do better to
present their concerns about green space to the City Council.
(h) Sth Avenue north of F Street to Muscatine Avenue
Boothroy presented an overlay and a map of the area. As in the previous item, Dick
I'lastino's memo indicated that this vacation is in compliance with the Ralston Creek
Watershed Management Plan.
There being no discussion on this item, Blum moved and Vetter seconded that the
right-of-way on Sth Avenue north of F Street to Muscatine Avenue be vacated with
the appropriate easements being maintained to allow for implementation of the Storm -
water Management Ordinance and the Ralston Creek Watershed Management Plan. Motion
carried unanimously 6-0.
Kammermeyer moved, and Vetter seconded, that the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommend to the City Council that based on staff input the northern part of the Sth
JAvenue right-of-way be maintained as a park. Motion failed 2-4, with Kammermeyer
and Vetter in favor.

Public discussion of rezoning the north 181 feet of a parcel of land located at the
northeast corner of the intersection of West Benton Street and Westgate Street from
RIA to R3.
Boothroy presented an overlay and site plan of the area and explained that the
area to the north and west is presently zoned R3, the area to the east is zoned 113A,
and the area to the south is zoned R1A. He further explained that Westgate Street
is constructed as a collector street. Boothroy also indicated that the proposed
rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Ryan explained that for a development of 29 or more units or an area of more than
2 acres (this area is approximately 1.39 acres) a Large Scale Residential Development
plan would he required.
Before turning the meeting over to public discussion, Blum explained that the Commission
was not here to discuss the low income housing but merely the rezoning issue.
Valda Gebhart, 8 Westgate Circle, presented copies of a letter to the Commission
in which she explained her reasons for opposing the rezoning. She did explain that
the Melrose/Westgate/Emerald/West Benton area was "solid apartments" and that Horn
School has already gone through two expansions. She further cited increasing erosion
and runoff with the addition of more apartments. Mother concern expressed by Ms.
Cebhart was that the street is always littered with cars and that further construction
would take away an area for children to play. (Letter attached)
John Flack, North Liberty, explained that he owned a duplex in this area and that
further construction would cause more of a water hazard to his duplex during a storm.
Ile further stated that the creek can't handle the water at the present time.
Kathy Schrele, University heights, stated that she owned property on Westgate and
wits very much concerned about the fact that the sewers cannot handle the water during
storms now. She also referred to a Staff Report, dated October 26, 1972, in which
the staff recommendation has been for rezoning to R3. She stated that this rezoning
had not been clone at that time and was concerned about why it was being requested
again.
.Janet Abernathy, 6 Westgate Circle, stated that she felt that the request for rezoning
should be considered on its own merits rather than falling back on what the Comprehensive
Plan states. She further stated that she felt that the Comprehensive Plan was not
meant to be written in gold.
Paul Hoherz, Wheaton Road, explained that the area is saturated with water after
a storm. He further stated that he felt the area should not be developed.
Blum explained to the residents that the land cannot be developed unless it meets
the Stormwater Management Ordinance. When the residents stated that the ordinance
apparently was not being enforced in this area, Blum explained that most of the
development in this area had taken place prior to the adoption of the Stormwater
Management Ordinance but that future development must meet these requirements.
I I Tom Walz, 1 Westgate Circle, stated that he was against the rezoning for the same
reasons already expressed and further stated that he served as it First Aid station
tit that intersection. Ile also expressed concern about the increased traffic that
i

would be generated by further development.
Bud Gode, 918 Estron Street, stated that he was not concerned about the runoff but
was concerned that the Planning and Zoning Commission feels that the Comprehensive
Plan is carved in stone. Ile further stated that he felt any changes should be
considered on their own merits. Also mentioned as concerns were the parking on the
streets and the school density problems.
In answer to questions about why the Planning and Zoning Commission was considering
this rezoning request, Jakobsen explained that the request had come from the City
Council and was not a Planning and Zoning Commission initiated action. Blum also
explained that the Commission must determine if the rezoning is reasonable and if it
is in the community interest.
Jakohscn moved that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend the rezoning of the
north 181 feet of a parcel of. land located at the northeast corner of the intersection
of West Benton Street and Wesgate Street from RIA to R3. Motion died for lack of
a second.
Vetter moved, and Kammermeyer seconded, that action on this item be deferred until
the next regular meeting. Motion carried 6-0.
Commissioners asked that staff prepare a formal staff report on this item and that
the minutes of the October, 1972, meeting at which this item was originally considered
be provided.

and adding Sections 8.10.3A.64C and 8.10.8.4 to Appendix A of the Code of Ordinances
of Iowa City, Iowa, providing a definition for Rooming house and regulating its
permitted use.
Jakobsen moved, and Vetter seconded, that action on this item be deferred until the
next regular meeting in order to give the Commissioners a chance to review the
amendment that was distributed. Motion carried 6-0.
Public discussion of a final plat of the resubdivision of Lot 90 Ty'n Cae, Part 2,
located east of Mormon Trek .Boulevard and north of Cae Drive; 45 -day limitation period:
11/12/79, 60 -day limitation period: 11/27/79.

CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES
The only acceptable reason to consider rezoning an area is if that rezoning
would be beneficial to the community. The recommendation to rezone the north
section of an area now owned by the University Baptist Church, located on the
NE corner of West Benton and Westgate Streets from RIA to R3 is contrary to
any benefit to the community.
There are many reasons this is an ill ndvlsed recommendation:
1. First and foremost is the increased crowding such a move would have on
Horn School. Iowa City is rapdily expanding on its western boundary and
this already has severe implications on school over -crowding. This is a
natural expansion and cannot be avoided. To purposely crowd from within
is unreasonable.
2. The density of the area immediately encompassing the proposed property is
already an example of city planning at its worst. The area involves a
territory of 5 to 6 blocks long and 1 to 2 blocks wide (encompassed by
Emerald, Melrose, Westgate and West Benton Streets) that is solid apartments!
The west side of Westgate Street has a large amount of duplexes which even
further adds to the density of the area. In good city planning a community
strives for a balance of housing types. There is no such balance in our
area now and to add another multiple dwelling unit will only further aggravate
the imbalance.
3
4.
The current RIA zoning is the best possible zoning this area can have for
It is the ons zoning which will not add to an already serious problem of
excessive density. To rezone is to go against the best interest of the
community and to yield to special interest groups.
With the above mentioned density comes the problem of parking. Although
most of the apartments in this area provide for off-street parking, the
street is nevertheless congested with on -street parking. The problem on
Westgate Street becomes more severe in the winter due to snow and will be
an even greater concern now that Westgate Street has become a bus route.
With this density comes the additional problem of noise and an adequate
area for children to play without• being sent into the parking lots as now
occurs at the apartment buildings. This does not allow tranquility for Lhc
residents nor safety for the children.
5. The natural beauty of an area should certainly not come low on one's list.
The area suggested for multiple dwelling zoning is a particularly lovely
one with ninny trees and a charming creek to which everyone now has good
access. The size of the dwelling proposed for that area would virtually
have to be "squeezed" in, thereby ruining all view of the arca and access
to the creek. The creek which is now a benefit to the community will. then
become a danger for it will literally be at the doorstop of the multlple
dwelling.

Iowa City too readily rezones it's properitcs at the first pressure of special
interests. Zoning becomes meaningless if it is changed at such folly. One feels
that though one .lives 1n a single family zoned area, one has no assurance that:
tomorrow he may not find plans for a factory next door! Rezuning is a serious
matter and should onIZ be done to serve the immediate community. As I have pointed
out, the only zoning to best serve this community is the zoning currently in effect.
With these points I have discussed zoning in general. Now I would like to address
the particular issue of the multiple dwelling public housing suggested for the
location discussed. In this matter, because it is public housing, the city has
direct control and the choice that i.t has made is most unwise.
The city has a given amount of units for which it is seeking locations. By all
good practices of city planning these units should be evenly distributed through-
out the city. There are many school districts that are low in students and these
are the areas to concentrate on when choosing locations for public housing. To
virtually "squeeze" this housing into a school district that is again threatened
with overcrowding even though it just recently dealt with the very same problem
by enlargening it's facilities shows very poor judgement indeed.
Even the esired aspect of even distribution is not met since we already have a
massive public housing project just blocks away from the site now proposed - this
is, Mark IV.
I am afraid that the road of least. resistance has been chosen in this matter. No
voice will be raised by the church which wants to sell the property. No voice will
ba"raised by the apartment dwellers immediately adjacent:for such is not generally
the. concern non -owners of property. Likewise, the duplexes on the west side of
Westgate street are largely rented.
Yet even in such a situation you -have a *responsibility to the community. Anyone
who passes through the.area can see that the good principles of city planning have
been set aside. The special interests of those wishing to develop the financially
rewarding multiple dwellings have been allowed to prevail:
Unfortunately,•many are not aware of city plans until they are actually executed
due to lack of knowledge of city, mechanics. ,They are in dismay when they find
an injustice done to their community, yet find it too late to act. This is the
''reason your decisions are so important. You are in a position to protect the
best interesis'of the community and it is your responsibility to do so.
I urge you to disregard all special interest and rule for the benefit of the
community. Demonstrate that zoning does have a meaning, that it will protect
the community and .that the area in question will remain R1A.
Thank you,
Mrs. Vnlda Ccbhart

Director's Office
MEMBERS PRESENT; Bartley, Dozanson, Gritsch, Hyman, Immermann, Zastrow,
Ostedgaard, Richorson
STAFF PRESENT: Eggers, Tiffany
HANSEN LIND MEYER: Loren Ellarson and ,John Benz
Meeting called to order at 4:15 PM by President Bezanson.
Summary of Discussion
The Director announced,that there had been a slight error in the interpre-
tation'of the bids for the new library building. The estimate of
$2,740,000 included 2 items which were excluded from the contract documents:
carpet and the electronic security system. By adding these two items
($80,000) on to the low bid of $2,664,000 the total cost is almost exactly
the same as the pre-bid estimate. The carpeting will be bid separately
by the interiors firm.
The total contract for $2,664.344 was approved unanimously. Bartley/Immermann.
Resolution attached.
Loren Ellarson of HLM discussed two concerns: 1. That the Board have a pre -
construction meeting with the contractor preferably next week. 2. How the
Board will organize to proceed during the construction phase.
It was decided that the pre -construction meeting with the contractor would begin
at 3:30 on Thursday, September 27th and then the regular Board meeting will
follow that. Both meetings will be held in the Director's Office.- At that time
the Board will appoint members to serve as representatives of the Board at
owner -architect -contractor meetings and make related decisions about the
construction phase of this project.
A testing surveyffirm must be hired for the purpose of concrete and soil
testing during construction. Benz and Ellarson stated that the cost could
run to $10,000 and that the cost would be similar from all testing agencies.
Ellarson said that the contractor must be informed as soon as the City all-
risk property insurance on the project has been secured. All-risk insurance
providos for the physical protection of the building during construction.
The contractor provides liability insurance. Ellarson and Benz suggested
that the Board might want to carry liability insurance also.
The Director discussed the following points:
1. The East planter at the front of the new library building extends
too far into College Street
2. Telephone System - A letter of intent was sent by Eggers. In order
to preserve the current price, contract must be signed by September
27th. Eggers will prepare a summary and present it at the regular
meeting on September 27th.

Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement.)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements
on a page -for -page substitution basis, it has become evident
that through usage and supplementation many pages can
be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready
guide for the user to determine whether the Code volume
properly reflects the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence.
The second column reflects the latest printing of the pages
as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the
Supplement Service and appear as published for the original
Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification
number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the
page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this
list may be used in compiling an up-to-date copy from the
original Code and subsequent Supplements.

Section 8.10.35,9(C)(1) sets forth special requirements regarding
C-2 zone regulations as follows:
"All facia signs shall project no more than one
foot from the building. It shall not extend above
the roof line."
Based upon such an interpretation, an effort by Eagle Discount
Supermarkets to have their sign a
with
remodeling effort at their store located at 600proved in nNorth nDodge a
Street, has been denied. Considering the architecture of the
and building in question together with Eagle's efforts to revitalize
remodel
patiblewithtthe general gintent sofnthe totas alszonioed ngEordinancesm
of Iowa City. The resulting sign which Eagle wishes approved is
totally compatible with the existing architecture of the building.
The existing parapet or facia wall rior to any signing extends
i six feet two inches above the roof line. We hasten to point out

Thv purpoae of tldn .Letter in to reguent you to coollidor amend-
ing the existing lowa City Zoning Ordinance as to Its preneuL
i prohibition against any type of facia sign extending above the
roof line of a commercial building in a C-2 zoning area. Such
an interpretation is presently followed by both the building
i inspector's office as well as the City Attorney's Office. That
interpretation evolves in the following manner.
Section 8.10.35.1(D) of the Iowa City Code of Ordinances (1978)
defines a building or wall sign as:
"A sign other than a roof sign, which is supported
by a building or wall."
Section 8.10.35.1(K) defines a facia sign as:
"A single faced 'building or wall sign which is para-
llel to its supporting wall."
Section 8.10.35.3 sets forth signs prohibited in all zones, in-
cluding all roof signs. Subsection 11 specifically prohibits:
"Such nignn which encroach on or over a street
right-of-way, or which ex Lund above the roof:
line, excepting facia signs."

Section 8.10.35.9(C)(1) sets forth special requirements regarding
C-2 zone regulations as follows:
"All facia signs shall project no more than one
foot from the building. It shall not extend above
the roof line."
Based upon such an interpretation, an effort by Eagle Discount
Supermarkets to have their sign approved in connection with a
remodeling effort at their store located at 600 North Dodge
Street, has been denied. Considering the architecture of the
building in question together with Eagle's efforts to revitalize
and remodel that building, the sign as proposed by Eagle is com-
patible with the general intent of the total zoning ordinances
of Iowa City. The resulting sign which Eagle wishes approved is
totally compatible with the existing architecture of the building.
The existing parapet or facia wall rior to any signing extends
six feet two inches above the roof line. We hasten to point out
t h a t by use of said parapet or facia wall, the actual existing
roof line is naturally then invisible to the person observing the
store from the front resulting in a more pleasing appearance.
The sign which Eagle wishes to place on said facia wall consists
of the script letters E -A -G -L -E. All said letters except for the
L extend only three feet five inches above the existing roof line
behind the parapet wall with the L extending four feet eleven in-
ches above said line.
Eagle Midwestern Region has always maintained and fostered a policy
of attempting to be good neighbors and an integral part of the
dynamic nature of the cities and towns wherein their businesses
exist. Eagle earnestly feels at this point in time that the sign
they wish to use on the building located at 600 North Dodge Street,
falls well within that positive spirit and the spirit of Iowa City's
Zoning Ordinance. It may well be, as often occurs in regard to any
effort such as the subject zoning ordinance to cover an infinite
number of situations by a limited number of standards, that the
original adoption of the existing sign standards by the City of
Iowa City unintentionally prohibited the use of facia signing Eagle
has proposed, which is actually more pleasing to the architectural
integrity of the building and the area than its absence, especially
when we are concerned with original building construction which
makes use of parapet walls.
We would suggest that said amendment might place a reasonable
limit on the height over a roof line of a facia sign placed on a
par%spol; wall, perrhal)n five feet being a reasonable standard. Now-

Dear Sir:
IOWA CITY
IOWA CITY IOWA 52240 (319) 354.18CGO
The City Council of Iowa City is quite concerned over the prospect of a
further decline in the quality of rail service in this area. Our community
and the University of Iowa depend heavily upon railroad services for
shipments of coal and other fuels, as well as various other commodities.
Rail service is a vital link in meeting our transportation needs and
will likely continue to be such in the future.
We are presently served by the Rock Island Railroad and the Cedar Rapids $
Iowa City (CRANDIC) Railroad between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. Several
spur lines also exist in the area, including a valuable line to Hills,
Iowa. The existing network of railway corridors in this vicinity, when
effectively used, can serve our needs sufficiently. We are concerned
that these tracks be maintained and that they continue to be used to
provide the necessary rail service to Iowa City and surrounding localities.
Any decline in the availability of quality rail service would certainly
represent a hardship to many of our citizens, and a significant loss of
such service would be a serious detriment to the future growth and
development of our community.

to any meeting, and in the manner prescribed or agreed upon
as per that request. Iowa law requires that we honor all
such requests for notification.
4. Post a copy of the agenda for each meeting on the designated
Official bulletin board in the lobby of the Civic Center, south
wall, next to the Council Chamber entrance at least 24 hours
prior to each meeting. This bulletin board has been designated
by the City Council as the official one for all boards and
commissions with the exception of the Airport Commission and
the Library Board of Trustees, both of whom have the authority

to designate their own. Persons responsible for posting
agendas shall note on each agenda the date and time posted and,
upon removal from the bulletin board after said meeting, shall
note the date and time removed. The removed item shall then be
submitted to the City Clerk who will maintain the official
posting file.
Effective approximately November 1, 1979, there will be a
covered, lock -type bulletin board in the Civic Center lobby
which will be the official bulletin board. Keys will be
available from the City Clerk's office and the City Manager's
secretary during regular business hours. These will be kept in
a place accessible after business hours also and the Police
Department will have a key available. In this way, posting can
be done after hours as well. IN NO INSTANCE SHALL ANYONE REMOVE
ANY POSTED MATERIAL FROM THIS BULLETIN BOARD UNLESS HE/SHE
ORIGINALLY POSTED IT, except that the City Clerk may remove
certain outdated items at his/her discretion.
5. Meetings must be held at the specific time, data, and location
as published and access to these meetings must be available to
the public. Only items on the published agenda may be taken up
at any meeting except in cases where added items cannot be
postponed and regular notice would be impractical. A legal
staff member must always determine in advance if such an
exception is warranted.
6.
If a meeting or public hearing is to be continued from one day
to the next and the 24 hour requirement cannot be met, posting
of the official notice
must be done as soon as possible and the
local media notified at the earliest possible time, before
business hours on the next day if necessary. A legal staff
member must always determine if
such an exception is warranted.
7.
Copies of all minutes and other official documents must be
placed on file with the City Clerk as soon as they are
completed.
8.
These and other provisions of the Iowa Open Meetings Law do
allow for some exceptions. However, it shall be our policy that
NO
i
PERMITTED EXCEPTION TO THE -STATUTE SHALL BE MADE EXCEPT ON
THE ADVICE OF AND WITH APPROVAL FROM A MEMBER OF THE CI1 LEGAL
STAFF.
9.
Contact the City Legal Department for further clarification
regarding statutory requirements governing the nature and
substance of public meetings.
10.
The open meetings statute does not provide specific
requirements regarding notification of cancellation of a public
meeting. However, it shall be City policy that prompt
notification be given to the public and to the media in the
event that a public meeting is cancelled or postponed. Such
notification should be given to the greatest extent time will
allow using the same channels provided herein for official
notification. In addition, there shall always be a notice

City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
DATE: OtA.olx,r 2fi, 1;)79
TO: The Ihnurablo Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Linda W. Cook, Assistant City Attorney Yj
RE: Writ of Certiorari Challenging Housing Appeals Board Decision -
611 N. Johnson
I. Problem Presented
The Legal Department received a memo from Mr. M. Kuchaizak,
dated October 10, 1979 requesting the City seek judicial relief
for a recent Housing Appeals Board decision. In an appeal filed
by Mr. Robert Rhodes for a Notice of Violation issued by the Iowa
City Housing Inspection and Services Department, the Board did
not uphold violations for (1) lack of the required 7' ceiling
height for a basement apartment (height was 6'4" to 6'6"; (2)
lack of required 6'4" doorway requirement (height was 5'9"); and
adequate design of plumbing, in that faucet projects below
bathtub rim. 'this appeal decision was issued September 27, 1979.
The issue for discussion is whether the City should petition the
district court for a writ of certiorari, challenging the Board s
decision as illegal by reason of misapplying both City and State
housing code requirements. Since the 30 days for filing expires
October 27, 1979, the Legal Department has already filed such
action. However, the petition can be withdrawn at any time.
II. Conclusion
Since the Board's uneasiness over ceiling heights will not be
resolved in a certiorari proceeding, it is the recommendation
Of the Legal Department that the City should not seek judicial
review of the Rhodes decision. Such court action would be costly
and time-consuning without addressing the real problems presented.
Based on the undisputed facts, the Board clearly acted "illegally"
under Rule 306 of the Iowa Rules of Civil Procedure. however,
the remedy for a writ of certiorari would simply be to refer the
matter back to the Housing Appeals Board to apply the law properly.
The substance of the State and City ceiling height requirements
would remain unchallenged.

eo_,
III. Analysis
Rule 306, R. C. P. provides:
"A writ of cerLiorarl shall only be granted
when specifically authorized by statute; or
where an inferior tribunal, board or officer,
exercising judicial functions is alleged to
have exceeded its or his proper ,jurisdiction
or otherwise acted illegally. (Ilnphasis added.)
The Iowa Supreme Court has construed "illegally" to include de-
cisions which are clearly "erroneous as a matter of law" and"not
supported by substantial evidence of record." Fetters vim,
250 N.W. 2d 25, 27-28 (Iowa 1977) The court only reviews the
record of the Board's decision, which in this case would include
the Minutes and the tapes of the hearing, plus oral testimony of
persons present at the hearing if the court so allowed.
"The judgment of the court in certiorari
affects only the validity of the record.
That is, its judgment determines whether
the record is valid or invalid." 14 AM.
JUR 2d Sec 2,at 779.
In other words, the court in certiorari only decides whether the
Board made an error of law.
In the case of Mr. Rhodesappeal., there is no question the
Board's judicial actions could be challenged under a writ of
certiorari. Section 17-3 (h), Iowa City Code of Ordinances
(1979) establishes a Housing Appeals Board to hear appeals and,
,,...to provide for final interpretation
of the provisions of the Housing Code...."
Nor is there any question of whether the Board had jurisdiction
to hear Mr. Rhodes' appeal, since it was filed within the 10 day
time period under Sec 2-184, Iowa City Code. It is equally clear
that the Board either misapplied the law or singly refused to
apply the law to the facts. As can be seen from the Minutes, the
Appellant and his attorney did not dispute the accuracy of the
mensureoents for ceiling and doorway heights. For example,
f Section 17-7 (a) (2) requires:
I
� I
I
MICROFILMED BY

CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES
-3-
"h.vury doorway providing Ingross or (gross
from any duel I Ing un14, ni ming unl 1. or
habiLuble room ~hall be uL Jumst six (6)
feet, four (4) inches high...."
The undisputed evidence presented by Inspector Brian Kuebler was
that the doorway was 51911, which is 7" below the minimum.
The special provisions for basement ceiling heights are found in
Sec 17-6 (f) (3):
"Said roams shall have a minimum ceiling
height of seven (7) feet in all parts frau
finished floor to finished ceiling."
The undisputed evidence presented at hearing was that the ceiling
ranged from 614" to 61611, or from 6-8" below the minimum standard.
It is the conclusion of the Legal Department that the Rousing Appeals
Board's decision in the Rhodes case was a misapplication of the
law. Further, the decision is obviously not substantiated by the
facts of the case. In other words, the Board acted illegally under
Rule. 306.
There is no authority for the Board to grant a variance under
City or State law. Under zoning ordinances, a citizen may be
entitled to a variance based on hardship and unique circumstances.
Nor did the evidence constitute a "taking" of property without
compensation. Mr. Rhodes testified his mortgage payments were
$289/month, and his total intone from the 3 apartments was $600/month.
Even assuming he took the basement apartment off the market ($160/month)
he would still have $440 remaining intone.
As noted earlier, if a court did find the Board acted illegally,
the remedy would be to remand the case back to the Board to apply
the law properly. The real issue of the validity of State or City
laws regarding ceiling and doorway heights would not be decided.
i
In conclusion, I would simply remind the City Council that there
i is no evidence thus far available - reliable or otherwise - that
a ceiling height of 7' is required to protect the safety of oc-
cupants in event of fire. Obviously the lower the ceiling, the
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES FIOINES
-4-
the less cubic feet of air available in Such an em?rgency. None-
theless, the Iowa Code requires that cities of 15,000 population
set a minimum ceiling height of 7' in basement abodes, and an
average of 716" in other apartments for dwellings Constructed
after 1919. See Sec 414.23 and .63, Code 1979. There is no case
law in Iowa on these code sections.
Alternatives open to the City include (1) lobbying the State
Legislature to change the ceiling heights or authorize variance
powers; or (2) seek a declaratory ,judgment as to the validity of
these provisions in a case where the facts mould either present
a close case (e.g., 1-2" below minimum) or where a single rental
apartment owned by a single owner mould have to be taken off the
housing market. These facts are simply not present here.
I would be happy to answer any questions you might have regarding
this natter.

Smithey stated that due to the unusual aspects of this case that he felt
it was the Board's responsibility to treat it as a separate case and
therefore he moved that the violation of lack of permit be upheld and that
the violation of lack of required window area not be upheld. Graf
seconded, motion passed by unanimous vote.
BOARD TO CONSIDER THE CASE OF ROBERT RHODES -
611 N. JOHNSON
Mr. Rhodes and Atty. Ralph Neuzil were sworn in by Chairperson Klaus.
Steinbach stated that the property was inspected by Inspector Brian
Kuebler on August 2, 1979. Mr. Rhodes received a notice of violation
regarding the property on August 6. On August 10, a letter was received
by the City Clerk from Mr. Rhodes requesting a hearing before the Housing
Appeals Boar. Therefore, the appeal was properly submitted.
Kuebler asked Mr. Rhodes for further clarification lof the actual items
being appealed.
Mr. Neuzil replied that they wished to amend the appeal due to the fact
that after Mr. Rhodes had contacted a carpenter, a doorway listed as a
violation could not, in fact, be raised to meet the requirements of the
Code without causing structural problems. That item is listed as 3.a.
Lack of sufficient doorway height. It was agreed by all in attendance
that this matter could also be addressed at this hearing.
Kuebler stated that in his annual inspection it was determined that the
maximum ceiling height in the basement unit was six feet, six inches.
Kuebler read into the minutes Chapter 17-6.(d) which he stated was the
reference made on the notice of violation, however, the less restrictive
code section which would actually apply to this case was 17-6.(f)3.
Inspector Kuebler then read that code section into the minutes. He stated
that the less restrictive code section required a 7 foot ceiling in the
basement apartment. In the basement unit the minimum ceiling height was 6
feet, 4 inches and the maximum height was 6 feet, 6 inches. He also stated
as per the amended appeal, that the doorway in question measured 5 feet, 9
inches in height, whereas, the requirement for the height of said door is
6 feet, 4 inches.
Cook asked Atty. Neuzil whether he would accept the amended code section.
Mr. Neuzil replied that he had no objection to that amendment.
Mr. Rhodes stated, in response to questions asked by Mr. Neuzil, that he
had purchased the property a little over four years ago and that at time
of purchase there was representation that the dwelling did comply with the
Housing Code. He stated that the basement apartment had been in use for
at least 25 years and that during the inspection, Inspector Kuebler had
stated that it was one of the nicer apartments he had inspected. He
stated that currently the building is not paid for; however, the money
received from rental of this unit was necessary to make payments on the
building. He stated that if the Appeals Board were to uphold the City's
violation, that the only means of correction would be to raise the whole
house or to lower and replace the floor.

Mr. Neuzil asked Mr. Rhodes how much equity he had in the house. Mr.
Rhodes replied that the property was appraised at $55,000 last May. He
stated that he would have to sell the property if he could not continue to
rent out the basement unit. There have never been any complaints from
tenants due to the lack of required ceiling height.
Neuzil asked Kuebler if he was aware of the reason that there was such a
requirement. Kuebler replied that it was not instituted for the purpose
of headroom, that the purpose, to his understanding, was for air space,
especially in case of a fire. It would provide a few extra seconds or
minutes for a person to have time to escape from a unit. Kuebler stated
that he was not prepared to determine the safety aspects of the apartment
regarding the current ceiling height.
Neuzil asked Kuebler when this property was last inspected in order to
issue a permit. Kuebler replied that according to the file a reinspection
had been conducted to determine code compliance in 1977. Mr. Rhodes
concurred with that information. Kuebler stated the last applicable
permit regarding this property expired in April, 1978.
The age of the structure was discussed by the Board, however, an actual
date of construction could not be determined at this meeting, nor could
any change of use or classification in accordance with the exemption
clause of the Housing Code.
Smithey asked Mr. Rhodes, as had Mr. Neuzil, how much equity he had in the
house. Mr. Rhodes replied that he had paid $289 a month on the property
since he purchased it, and that he had put approximately $4,000 into the
house in the form of windows and about that much also in the form of
furnaces for each floor. He stated that he had mortgaged the house that
he lives in now in order to purchase the property.
Smithey explored the question of equity a bit further by asking what would
be the financial impact if the Board were to uphold this notice of
violation. Mr. Neuzil replied that he would definitely have to sell the
property if this violation was upheld, Mr. Rhodes concurred. He stated
that with the loss of income from the basement apartment, $160 monthly, he
would not have enough to keep up payments on his other responsibilities of
paying for the windows and furnaces. He stated that total income on the
property per month is $600.
Klaus felt that a consideration which could be made would be to postpone a
decision regarding the ceiling height to see if more information could be
gathered as to the age of the house and whether it would fall within the
scope of the grandfather clause.
Steinbach voiced an objection to that proposal since, if it could be
proven to the Housing Inspector that the structure did meet the quali-
fications, enforcement of that citation would at that time be suspended.
He stated that even if the Board chose to uphold the violation, the City
would drop enforcement under those circumstances.

Neuzil stated that Mr. Rhodes had done every reasonable thing a
prospective buyer could do in regards to purchasing a property, and that
he felt that the City keeps changing rules and that it is not fair to the
property owner that they are made to comply with all new changes that the
City wishes to make. He further asked that if this requirement was a
state law at the time Mr. Rhodes purchased the property, why did the City
go ahead and certify the use of the basement unit. He felt that the City
is penalizing the owner for a mistake of the City.
Cook asked the board members to refer to the memorandum which was included
in the board members' packets written by Angela Ryan regarding the
estoppel argument. She stated that if an inspector had misapplied the law
with no intent to deceive the
responsible for such actions. owner, then the City could not be held
She stated that it was her opinion that
there was no intent to deceive or defraud in the past.
Steinbach stated that this violation was probably found at this time due
to the fact that, initiated one year ago was the policy of drawing floor
plans of those structures which the City inspects annually and issues
rental permits for. This is done to show that an accurate and thorough
inspection is conducted at that time.
Neuzil asked that if thepurpose of the Board was simply to hear and
uphold notices of violation without applying a sensitivity to the problem,
why was the option of having an appeal heard before the Board even
implemented. He felt that it may be just as well to start a lawsuit in
Board. He asked district court rather than take the time to go before the Housing Appeals
whether t was not the
to
determine a practical way to solve the problem. He felt ose of that jacking hearingis up
the house six inches or lowering the floor six inches was not a practical
way to comply with the code. He asked why there could not be some sort of
variance granted if all of the other requirements were met, provided that
all other requirements were met. He asked if this was a serious enough
violation to warrant the closing of the entire dwelling unit.
Discussion ensued regarding a valid permit. Neuzil stated that they would
concede that they do not have, at this time, a valid housing permit.
Dennis moved that items 1, 3 and 5 of the notice of violation be upheld.
Motion died for lack of second.
Smithey, too, questioned the purpose of the Housing Appeals Board, stating
that, on one hand, he felt it was Board's responsibility to rely on the
decisions made in courts of law, but that to his knowledge only one or two
decisions of the Housing Appeals Board have been further appealed in
district court and he did not remember that they dealt with this
particular violation. He stated that he would very much like to hear what
the district court would have to say regarding this housing violation. He
further stated that the constitutionality of these requirements could be
determined in district court and such a precedent would be quite helpful
to the Housing Appeals Board. Smithey stated that the estoppel argument
was of great concern to him and that if the Appeals Board does not grant
exceptions in particular cases, then the burden and expense of a decision
in district court is put on the owner.

HOUSING APPEAL BOARD
September 27, 1979
Page 12
Klaus stated that recently it had been the determination of the City
Council that they would not intervene in a decision which should be made
by the Housing Appeals Board. It is the purpose of the Housing Appeals
Board to make decisions in regards to interpretations of the Code.
Cook stated that it was her feeling that the violation of ceiling height
being discussed did not leave any flexibility to the Board in making its
final determination because the interpretation of the Code, she felt was
quite specific.
Klaus stated that the situation was such that the Housing Appeals Board
was appointed by the City Council and that the staff was actually
responsible to the City Manager. However, Cook replied that her
responsibility was also to represent the Housing Appeals Board.
Smithey stated that there is an obvious conflict there, in that, the
attorney must represent both the board and the staff.
Smithey stated the situation at hand is such that the City is intervening
between an agreement between the landlord and the tenant. He felt that
perhaps the responsibility of the board would be to intervene in this
conflict. He felt that perhaps it was the responsibility of the Housing
Appeals Board to force the City into court to resolve this problem.
Klaus stated that members of the Housing Appeals Board were, of course,
also members of the Housing Commission. The duty of the Housing
Commission is to find adequate housing and there is some conflict, in that
the Housing Appeals Board is forced to, in effect, close other housing
units.
Neuzil asked that if a case is real close in regards to complying or not
complying with the code, where is the cutoff of those violations which
would be cited. Cook replied that there is discretion implemented;
however, she did not feel that this was a close case.
Cook asked Mr. Rhodes whether he had purchased this property with the
advice of legal counsel.
Mr. Rhodes replied that yes, in fact, he had retained an attorney to
research the property prior to purchase. He stated that at time of
purchase there was a valid permit issued for the property.
The Board asked Inspector Kuebler to explain his finding regarding
inadequate plumbing.
Kuebler stated that during his inspection, it was found that the faucet on
the tub was located below the rim of the tub and that that constituted a
violation insofar as it could cause a backflow problem and water
contamination. He then explained the series of events that could lead to
such backflow and water contamination. He submitted a diagram which is
part of an inspection manual issued by the government showing how this
installation could constitute inadequate and dangerous plumbing. Kuebler
further stated that after a discussion with the Plumbing Inspector of the
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS•DES tI0111Es
HOUSING APPEAu BOARD
September 27, 1979
Page 13
City, he was informed that there are installations in Iowa City such that
if a second floor faucet is in the open position and a first floor faucet
is opened, smoke from say, a cigarette, would be drawn right into the
faucet on the second floor.
The Board considered the question of if there was no motion regarding the
case, what would be the outcome. It was determined that precedents have
been set in previous appeals board hearings that the violation would be
upheld in such an event.
Board took a three minute break.
Graf left the hearing.
Klaus asked Cook if the City had pursued any cases in court regarding the
ceiling height violation. Cook replied no, not to her knowledge. Smithey
then asked Steinbach if there were any cases where the Board had upheld a
notice of violation regarding ceiling height and the City had pursued no
further enforcement action. Steinbach replied no, that to the best of his
knowledge the City had gone ahead and enforced the decision of the Housing
Appeals Board.
Klaus brought up the fact that there had been a previous case that the
Housing Appeals Board had not upheld the City in a notice of violation and
that the Director of Housing 6 Inspection Services had recommended to the
City Council that the City appeal that decision in Court and that the City
Council had chosen not to do so. She said that particular case was based
on particular circumstances which warranted such action and that it was
not done to seta precedent and so the Appeals Board did not honor any
future arguments which were brought in connection with that specific case.
She stated that it was the Council's decision to appeal any decisions made
by the Housing Appeals Board. Klaus stated that there is one other case
currently in court that the Council has chosen to appeal the decision of
the Board; however, the Council has not asked for any resignations from
any members of the Board.
Smithey moved, Dennis seconded, that N1, Lack of valid permit be upheld,
and that K3, M4, and K5 dealing with inadequate plumbing, lack of
sufficient doorway height, and lack of required ceiling height not be
upheld.
Klaus stated for the record that in not upholding these violations, it was
an attempt to get the Council to pursue these types of problems in the
Housing Code.
Smithey stated that he wanted it also on the record that the Board did not
feel that the staff was in error in issuing this notice of violation and
this decision was not meant to set a precedent for future inspections.
Cook stated that she would be much more comfortable with the board's

did not feel that had been proven. The City is not authorized to take

passed by unanimous vote.
OTHER BUSINESS
Steinbach stated that he has received a couple of requests for hearings
which were filed past the 10 day deadline. He further stated that the
City has tried to give everyone appeal rights in a generous fashion;
however, he was not comfortable with accepting these late requests. He
stated that it is obvious that enforcement of the Housing Code has been
stepped up, otherwise there would not be backlog at this time of some 28
cases. He stated that the individuals requesting these hearings had
contacted him personally and he had told them he would take their requests
to the Housing Appeals Board. However, he stated; it must be the City's
stance that they not be honored since it is administrative policy and City
law that application be made within a prescribed amount of time. He
stated that if the appeal deadline were to end on a weekend day, that he
would accept applications for an appeal hearing on the following Monday.
However, such was not the case in the two letters that he was presenting
at this time.
It was the Board's decision that individuals had waived their appeal
rights if they had not made proper application within the prescribed
amount of time.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 25, 1979
10: The Honorable Mayor and Mcmbers of (,he City Council
Members of the Human Rights Corrmission
FROM: Roger Scholten, Assistant City Attorney
RE: Woodl'ie.lds
AtLached is a copy o1' Judge Swail(is I ordor sustaining the special
appearance filed on behalf of Lhe Ci Ly of Iowa City. In the
special appearance I argued that the District Court lacked
jurisdiction to hear Ambrose-Lovetinsky, Inc. Is appeal of the
City Council's suspension of Woodfield's liquor license. The
Iowa Beer and Liquor Control Act provides for a specific appeal
procedure to the Department's Hearing Board. In his order, Judge
Swailes agreed that Ambrose-Lovetinsky, Inc. should have exhausted
this administrative appeal procedure before appealing to the
District Court and therefore the court lacked jurisdiction to hear
the appeal. Significantly, the Judge also ruled that a violation
of the Human Rights Ordinance was a lawful basis for suspending a
liquor license.
Mr. White has already filed an appeal with the Beer and Liquor
Ccntrol Commission requesting a stay of the license suspension
until a hearing is held. I have responded by filing another
special appearance contesting the Commission's authority to act
on the appeal. The Omission's adninistrative rules provide
that an appeal to the Hearing Board must be made within thirty
clays of the action. It is my position that appealing to the
District Court did not stop the running of this thirty -day period,
and therefore the appeal period has expired.
It is important to note that Judge Swailes' ruling was directed
only toward the actions of the City Council. The Human Rights
Ordinance provides that the actions of the Human Rights Com-
mission are to be appealed to the District Court. Therefore,
Ambrose-Lovetinsky Inc. Is appeal of the Commission's damage
award and affirmative action order is still before the District
Court. At this time I do not know the time frame in which the
appeal will proceed.
I would be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding
this matter.

FINDINGS OF FACT
I
I
Plaintiffs operated a "disco" in Iowa City, Iowa,
which was alleged to have discriminated against blacks in
the community in violation of a Civil Rights Ordinance
I
(Chapter 18, Iowa City Code of Ordinances). After an investi-
gation and hearing, the Iowa City Human Rights Commission
found Plaintiffs had committed discriminatory acts. The City
of Iowa City, Iowa, acting under the provisions of its own
Code of Ordinances (Section 5-35) and the Statutes of the
State of Iowa (Section 123.39) and after notice and hearing,
suspended Plaintiffs' liquor control license. Plaintiffs

later filed their Petition with this Court for judicial review
alleging (1) that the City Council acted illegally in suspending
the license because it failed to follow the procedure required
by its own ordinance, (2) that the City acted illegally in
suspending for alleged discriminatory practices because that
is not a ground for suspension listed in Section 123.39 of the
Iowa City Code, (3) that the Iowa City Human Rights Commission
acted illegally, and (9) that the action of the Commission is
illegal and not supported by a preponderance of ther'dVidehce..-
As part of the relief Prayed, Plaintiffs ask for a temporary. ..
injunction restraining the license suspension. The_City;€;iled
a Special Appearance alleging that the Plaintiffs should Nave
exhausted their administrative remedy before asking for judicial
review of the license suspension at least as to Divisions I and II
of Plaintiffs' Petition. The Court set hearing on this Appli-
cation for Temporary Injunction and also heard Defendants'
Special Appearance.
At the hearing, some evidence was heard.
The Court finds that provision is made for admini-
strative review of suspensions of liquor control licenses by
local authority. The question as to whether the local authority
acted improperly should first be submitted to the administra-
tive body prior to submission of the matter to the Courts.
Accordingly, the Court finds that the City's Special
Appearance as to Divisions I and II of the Plaintiffs' Petition
should be sustained because the Court finds that it does not
have jurisdiction of the subject matter in this case since
i

there remains unexhausted administrative remedies. Divisions I
and II of Plaintiffs' Petition should be dismissed
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
It is provided that a liquor control license may
i
be suspended by local authorities for a violation of an
ordinance adopted by such local authority. Section 123.39(6),
1979 Code of Iowa. Further, it is provided that local authorities
are empowered to adopt ordinances which may affect ,the retail
sale and consumption of alcoholic liquors and the IfiN.ItIq wel are,
and morals of the community involved. Section 123rf9=(6), 1979
Code of Iowa. =
Iowa City, Iowa, adopted ordinances goveriF dertain
activities respecting the retail sale and consumption of
alcoholic liquors and the health, welfare, and morals of the
community. (See Chapter 18, Iowa City Code of Ordinances.)
Appeal of the action of local authorities in suspending
a liquor control license is provided for and a department hearing
board,established by Section 123.15, Code of Iowa, is to review
such action. Section 123.32(9), 1979 Code of Iowa. Such review
is to be in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act
and judicial review may be sought in accordance with the terms
of that act. Section 123.32(5), 1979 Code of Iowa; Chapter 17A,
1979 Code of Iowa.
Before seeking review in State courts, all administrative
remedies must be exhausted if such remedies exist and if the
statutes expressly or impliedly so require. Rowen V. LeMars
Mutual Insurance Company of Iowa, 230 N.W.2d 905, 909 (Iowa 1975).

Here there appears to be such a remedy and it appears that it
must be pursued before seeking relief in the Courts. It has
not been shown that the administrative relief would not be
adequate. Richards v. Iowa State Commerce Commission, 270 N.W.2d
I
283 (Iowa 1978). The reviewing agency may, amongst other things,
i
provide for a stay of prior agency action. Section 17A.19(5),
i
1979 Code of Iowa. It is provided that the AdminiatiV'e
j Procedures Act is to be broadly construed so as to gtfectuate�
its purposes. Section 17A.23, 1979 Code of Iowa. Such shay'^
of prior agency action, if needed, would appear ade
PP quate in this
c
case.
DECISION
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED
by the Court that Defendants' Special Appearance as to Divisions Z
and II of Plaintiffs' Petition should be, and it hereby is,

sustained and such Divisions are dismissed.

Re Voss Petroleum Company of Iowa City Corp.
and Voss Petroleum Co., Inc., vs City of
Iowa City
Dear John:
I am enclosing a Copy of Judge (loran's ruling in the Voss Condemnation
Appeal. This case was tried to the court on September 26th -27th and the
ruling was just received by me last Friday. Judge (loran awarded Voss Petro-
leum the sum of $12,600.00 with interest since the date of condemnation.
This was originally a condemnation of the Shell Oil Station located
at the corner of Burlington and Madison Streets which occurred on October
24, 1975. At that time, the Johnson County Compensation Commission awarded
Shell Oil Company $64,500.00 for its fee ownership of the station site. Shell
had leased the station to Voss for twelve months with an automatic renewal
at the end of that period if neither party terminated the lease. Our appraiser
testified at the condemnation hearing that the lease would expire on April
30, 1976, and therefore had little or no value. As a result, the Commission
awarded Voss nothing for its leasehold interest and Voss subsequently appealed.
The crucial question in the case was whether or not the lease merely had
approximately six months to run from the date of condemnation and as such, had
little value or whether, as claimed by Voss, the custom of the oil industry was
to lease on a year to year basis with most leases averaging about five years
in duration. There was expert testimony to this affect, although we took the
opposite position with the court. At any rate, the court found that there was
a five year lease and Voss claimed that its interest was worth not loss than

i

Lam. ♦ , iJ..
Page 2
$38,000.00 or more than $47,000.00. However, the court accepted our valu-
ation testimony that the value of the lease, if any, would be $300.00 per
month for whatever the unexpired term was. Accordingly, Judge !loran allowed
42 months for the unexpired term and after deducting the rent paid or to be
paid of $300.00 per month, arrived at a figure of $12,600.00. Howver, Judge
Horan failed to discount this amount to present value, although that may not
be too substantial.
We received an offer to settle approximately a year and one-half ago for
$23,000.00 which was refused. My estimate was that the court would award
Voss somewhere in the neighborhood of $6,000.00 to $9,000.00. In view of the
relatively low amount of the award, i would not recommend that the City appeal
since the expense in doing so may outweigh the possibility of a somewhat lower
award on a retrial. The quostion on appeal would be the length of the uncx-
j pired term of the lease ( six months vs 42 months) and the appellate courts
might well uphold Judge Horan's original determination in view of the amount
of expert evidence introduced on this point.
i
We would have 30 days from October 16th in which to file a notice of
appeal. Unless I hear to the contrary from you within the next ten days, I
will assume that Counsel will not wish to have me appeal this decision. If
there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,

This condemnation appeal was tried by the underrlo pd...
Judge without a jury pursuant to Rule of Civil Procedu d,17sk'
on September 26-270 1979. The plaintiffs were represented by
Attorney William L. Meardon, and the defendant was represented
by Special Assistant City Attorney Robert W. Jansen. The

location. Before finalizing their agreement with Wicks Oil
Company, plaintiffs, who were aware of tkie service station
location being in an Urban Renewal area, contacted the Urban
Renewal Acquisition Director, Rodney Parsons, who advised
plaintiffs that this was a low priority area, because it was
being acquired for the University of Iowa library expansion
Program, and it would be sometime between four to six years
before this service station location property would be taken.
The Court specifically finds that the term of the lease
between plaintiffs and Shell Oil Company was fora period of
five years, commencing on May let, 1974, and expiring on
May let, 1979. The Court further finds that the plaintiffs
operated the service station location under their lease with
Shell Oil Company from May let, 1974, and continued upper
condemnation occurred bn October 24, 1975.
The Court further finds that the unexpired term 4;;-'
plainti!!s' lease was a period of 42 months.
The Court further finds that the plaintiffs were payiugG'
the sum of $300.00 per month to Shell Oil Company as rental
for the service station facilities during the entire term of
their lease. The Court further finds that the value of
plaintiffs' leasehold interest on the date of condemnation,
which was October 24, 1975, was the sun of $600.00 per month
for the length of the unexpired term of plaintiffs' lease.

The Court finds that the market value of the unexpired
term of plaintiffs' lease over and above the rent stipulated
to being paid on October 24, 1975, was the sum of $12,600.00.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The measure of damages for the taking of a leasehold
interest,by condemnation in Iowa is the market value of the
unexpired term of the lease over and above the rent stipulated
to be paid. Interstate Finance Corp. v. Iowa City,'260 Iowa
270, 149 N.W.2d 311; Twin -State Engineering & Chemical Co v.
Iowa State Highway Commission, 197 N.W.2d 575, (Iowa 1972).
Under the Iowa cases, evidence of the personal or
intrinsic value of the leasehold interest to its owner is
admissible as evidence. Comstock v. Iowa State -Highway
Commission, 254 Iowa 1301, 121 N.W.2d 205; Fritz V. Iowa State
Highway Commission, 270 N.W.2d 835 (Iowa 1978).
In determining compensation to be paid the owner of a
leasehold interest taken in condemnation proceedings, evidence
relevant to the prosperity of the business conducted by him on
the leased premises is admissible not as an independent element
of as a damages but
g proper item to be considered in determining
the fair and reasonable market or intrinsic value of his
leasehold.

department MEMO
t o. David Perret from. Dennis E. Showalter
re; Willow Creek parking date: October 26, 1979
I understand that you have had some calls about parking at Willow
Creek Park. I have talked to three people in the last week about the
park, parking, and proposed improvements. I will be meeting with some
of the residents, along with some of the Parks and Recreation Commission,
on Friday, November 2 at 7 p.m, at the Recreation Center, at the residents'
request.
Some of the current concerns arise from the fact that they are
I
playing more soccer at the park this fall. We never intended to have
j scheduled league sports activities at the park, but we have allowed
this because we don't have regular soccer fields. Teg Drive is 36' wide
I
with no intersections on the west side, which will accommodate con-
siderable on -street parking.
We are in the process of putting together the grant application
for 50% federal funds for the Willow Creek tennis courts. This will
be filed in November for December review. If the grant is not approved,
the tennis courts will not be built. The proposed tennis courts are
the last improvement that we have planned for Willow Creek Park (at
least for the next five years). We want the park, for the most part,
to be nature oriented.
I hope this answers some of your questions; let me know if you want
additional information.

To: David Perret
From: Jim Brachtel, Traffic Engineer
Re: Street Light at the Intersection of Denbigh Drive and Sunset
Street
Upon investigation of your recent request for information regarding this
installation, I have learned the following. This street light was
originally ordered in 1977 to be installed during the utility
installations for that subdivision. Iowa -Illinois installed the pole and
light in the late fall of that year. Due to ground conditions they were
unable to complete the underground wiring to that light. The following
spring, underground wiring was placed so that power could be delivered to
this street light. Unfortunately, during the winter of 1977-1978 the
luminaire and pole were present but with no power.
After that installation was complete the underground service was
interrupted by the installation of underground phone lines. Upon
notification the power company did restore service. The next event which
interrupted service at this location was the installation of sidewalk.
When the sidewalk contractor installed sidewalk at the location, the
underground service was disrupted causing the light to be out. Iowa -
Illinois did respond to this and did restore service.
The latest interruption to service at this street light location has been
the installation of underground duct work by the telephone company. The
phone company has contracted for the removal of sidewalk, the installation
of underground telephone conduit and the replacing of the sidewalk. It is
my understanding that the service line for this street light is presently
interrupted by the contractor's trench for the phone company's duct work.
Iowa -Illinois advises that as soon as the trenching is completed and the
duct work is placed, they will reinstate service to the street light.
While their repair effort is dependent upon the telephone contractor's
work, Iowa -Illinois Gas and Electric does anticipate service will be
restored by 2 November 1979.
Should you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please
don't hesitate to contact me.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
DATE: October 26, 1979
FROM: Dennis R. Kraft, Director of Planning t, Program Development
RE: Office Space Needs
On October 12 a memo was sent to the City Council discussing the
Possile
of the second floor of the Henry Louis building for the purpose ofprovidingaspace
for the City's Legal staff. The move from the Civic Center by the Legal staff
would trigger additional moves by other City departments and would appreciably
alleviate the existing over -crowded conditions in the Davis Building and the Civic
Center. If this space is leased, the following actions are contemplated:
The Assisted Housing Division of the Department of Housing and Inspection Services
could be moved to the lower level of the Civic Center. This would result in all of
the divisions of the Department of (lousing and Inspection Services being in one
location.
If the Assisted (lousing Division vacated the
the Davis Building, this southern part of the first floor of
would in turn create additional room for the Senior Center
staff
f Planing
andProgram rDevelopment. Atothe presentrtime,thesthetaffPlanningof the0and eparSeniortmentoCenternstaffs
exist in conditions which are extremely crowded, e.g, there are as many as 5 people
ill some rooms. The situation will be made worse with the filling of three vacancies
which presently exist. It becomes nearly impossible at times to carry on either
noise levels are confidential conversations or effectively conduct analysis and research because of
nced
e larger
conversationswhich that the Senior tCenter nCoordinator, rBette ooms `Meisel, carrlies oof the
n are of
a somewhat confidential nature with elderly citizens. It is very inefficient to ask
other staff members to leave their desks so that these conversations can ie carried
on in privacySmall . Secondly, as the Planning staff begins the acquisition and relocation
ill
Phasesitiogram, there
levels wand assete a sewith tvarious to
ssbeing
displaced from the Small Cities area. It is extremely important that these subjects
be'discussed in reasonably private conditions without requiring other staff members
to temporarily leave their desks.
Another area where some degree of privacy is required is in the property acquisition
process. Under current conditions this is often difficult. It should also be
noted that at the present time there are no individual conference rooms in the Davis
Building which can be used for small private meetings.
H'hile the leasing of the second floor of the Henry Louis building will enable some
of the congested conditions which presently exist to be temporarily alleviated, it
should be underscored that this is only a temporary solution to the over -crowding
conditions. ]t is sugGested that in the next three to five years a more comprehensive
annlysis be conducted on the present and future Space needs of City government.

Re: 912 East Davenport - Kindl Residence
This property was originally inspected on June 1, 1976 by Inspectors
Malone and Barnes. A Notice of Violation was prepared by Inspector
Malone, however, administrative supervisors determined that this notice
should not be sent to Ms. Kindl. On August 18, 1979, a letter was sent to
Ms. Kindl by Inspector Malone to request a time for the interior of the
residence to be inspected. She responded to this letter on September 7,
1976 by way of a phone call, stating that she would refuse any internal
inspections of the residence. -
On August 10, 1976, another inspection of the property was conducted by
Inspectors Malone and Lowenberg due to a complaint having been received by
then acting senior housing inspector Bruce Burke. Among the violations
noted at that time are 1) roof rotted out and caving in; 2) tin roof needs
painting; and 3) three windowpanes broken out of the front door.
Subsequent to that inspection and on September 7, 1976, a Notice of
Violation was sent to Ms. Elizabeth Kindl.
On August 18, 1977, a letter was sent by Maureen Taylor inviting Ms. Kindl
to make application and participate in the City's housing rehabilitation
program. Ms. Taylor informed Inspector Malone on September 19, 1977 that
there had been no response to her invitation to Ms. Kindl.
On October 11, 1979, Michael Kucharzak directed Inspector Malone to
conduct an inspection to determine the occupancy of this dwelling and the
possibility of it being a dangerous building. Inspector Malone conducted
this additional inspection on October 11, 1977 and stated in a memo that
"the east side of the structure has a caved in roof, and there appeared to
be other structural problems that may make it a dangerous building. Could
the building official check it out?" This memo was issued to Michael
Kucharzak, Bruce Burke, and Glenn Siders.
This property was again inspected on November 4, 1977 by Inspector Charles
Calef and a Notice of Violation was issued to Ms. Kindl and received by
her on December 7, 1977. It, too, consisted of an exterior inspection and
exterior violations and upon several reinspections the file shows that
corrections have not been made.
On May 17, 1978, Senior Housing Inspector Bruce Burke issued a letter to
Ms. Kindl inviting her to participate in an administrative review to be
held on June 13, 1978. This letter stated that her failure to appear at
this review would require the housing office to proceed with legal court
action. On June 12, 1978, Ms. Kindl again telephoned the Housing Division
and stated that she refused to participate in the administrative review

and was not interested in participating in the rehabilitation program.
Inspector Burke informed Director Kucharzak of Ms. Kindl's refusal to
attend the review and it was decided that court action be initiated.
On June 29, 1978, Bruce Burke discussed the case with Assistant City
Attorney Bob Bowlin at which time Mr. Bowlin requested new photos be taken
of the property and a reinspection be conducted to determine the current
status. The attorney also requested that the Housing Inspection Division
furnish the Legal Department with a deed of this property. Inspector
j Calef conducted a reinspection of the property on June 30, 1978 and
determined that no work had been started or completed in regards to the
Notices of Violation issued to Ms. Kindl. Inspector Calef also took
photos and received a deed from the County Recorder.
This case was referred to Bob Bowlin on June 3, 1978 for legal action by
Senior Housing Inspector Burke. -
On April 13, 1979, Director Michael Kucharzak requested the following
inspection by Inspector Malone. It was requested that the water service
be checked to see if it is turned on, to determine whether there was a
possible rat problem by referral to the Johnson County Health Department,
and to see if Iowa -Illinois Gas and Electric was supplying gas and
electrical service. Inspector Malone determined that the water was, in
fact, turned on to the property and that Iowa -Illinois was also serving
the residence. The possible rat problem was referred to the Johnson
County Health Department and on April 16, 1979, Lee Dameron telephoned Mr.
Kucharzak stating that there was no evidence of active rat burrows at that
time but he would continue to monitor the property. He also stated to
Director Kucharzak that he planned to send a letter suggesting that the
structure be demolished. Such a letter was received on April 17, 1979
from Clayton C. Pape, health consultant, stating that "the bedroom on the
east side is damaged, decayed, dilapidated, unsafe, and a possible
arborage for vermin and rodents. It is my recommendation the damaged part
of the house be removed or brought up to housing code standards."
The next entry in the file has been made by Assistant City Attorney Linda
Cook in which she states that she is returning the file to Housing since
she has reviewed and placed this case on a pending list.

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 26, 1979
'1'n: C1LyCounciI
From: Rosemary ViLosh, Director of Finance J
Re: FY81 Revenue Projections
Revenue projections for FY81 are not yet completed. It will be a couple
of weeks until "tentative" assessed valuation figures are received from
the County. These tentative figures are used during budget preparation to
project the property tax portion of total projected revenues. Final
assessed valuation figures are sent to the City in December and are used
in the Proposed Budget which is submitted to Council. Projections of
other revenues are almost completed, however, until property tax figures
are available, we will not have a total revenue picture for FY81.
We are planning to discuss revenue projections with Council late in
November. By that time we will have received proposed expenditure budgets
from departments and will have a feel for revenue needs for FY81. We will
be discussing with Council the amount of property tax levy needed and how
it compares with past years' property Lax levies.

To the Honorable Mayor, Councilmembers and City Manager:
The Annual Financial Report of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1979, is submitted herewith in accordance
with provisions of Chapter 384 of the Code of Iowa, 1979.
ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND REPORTS
The City's accounting records for general governmental operations are
maintained on a cash basis, revenues being recorded when received and
expenditures being recorded when paid. Budgetary control is maintained
with a fully automated accounting and encumbrance system. Purchase
i orders are recognized as encumbrances on the monthly reports provided
for management review of activities to avoid over -expenditures during
i the fiscal year.
GENERAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNCTIONS
General governmental functions include those activities which are per-
formed within the programs of the General Fund, the Debt Service Fund,
and the Pension & Retirement Fund. Revenues for these activities during
FY79 total $10,212,868, of which 55.2% was produced by general property
tax. The amount of revenue from various sources is shown in the follow-
ing tabulation:
REVENUE SOURCE AMOUNT % OF TOTAL
Property Taxes $ 5,642,050 55.2
Intergovernmental Revenue 776,364 7.6
Licenses & Permits 208,312 2.0
Fines & Forfeitures 259,954 2,6
Charges for Services 1,165,355 11.4
Revenue from Use of Money
and Property 91,199 0.9
Miscellaneous Revenue 129,994 1.3
Transfers 1,939,640 19.0
$10,212,868 100.0
Assessed valuations of $466.5 million represent an increase of 5% over
the preceding year.

Current tax collections were 98.8% of the tax levy, down 1.5% from last
year. Delinquent tax collections were 0.5% of total tax collections.
The ratio of total collections (current and delinquent) to the current
tax levy was 99.3%, a decrease of 0.9% under last year. Allocations of
property tax levy by purpose for FY79 and the preceding two fiscal years

DEBT ADMINISTRATION
The ratio of net bonded debt to assessed valuation and the amount of
bonded debt per capita are useful indicators of the City's debt position
to municipal management, citizens and investors. These data for the City
of Iowa City at the end of FY79 are as follows:
AMOUNT
Net Direct Bonded Debt $12,707,000
DEBT/ASSESSED RATIO DEBT PER
(PRESENT MARKET VALUE) CAPITA
.0234 $266
Outstanding general obligation bonds at June 30, 1979, totaled $12,707,000
of which $2,340,750 are considered to be self-supporting as water and sewer
revenues are used to annually abate the taxes thereon. In addition, $8,394,000
of revenue bonds to be retired solely from the earnings of the water, sewer
and parking systems are outstanding. Industrial Development Revenue Bonds
in the amount of $2,885,000 are outstanding but are not an obligation of the
City of Iowa City. The notes to the financial statements present more
detailed information about the debt position of the City.

To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council
City of Iowa City, Iowa
We have examined the accompanying financial statements on pages 1
through 32 of the funds and the Ceneral Long -Term Debt Croup of Accounts, as listed
in the table of contents, of this report, of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, for the
year ended June 30, 1979. Our examination was made in accordance with genlrally
accepted auditing standards and Chapter 11 of the Code of Iowa and, accordingly,
included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures
as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
As described in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements, the accompany-
ing statements are prepared on the cash basis of accounting and accordingly they
are not intended to be presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
In our opinion, the financial statements mentioned above of the City of
Iowa City, Iowa, present fairly the cash transactions of the funds, as listed in the
table of contents of this report, for the year ended June 30, 1979, and the financial
portion of the General Long -Term Debt Group of Accounts as of that date, in confor-
mity with the City's cash basis accounting policy, as described in Note 1 of the
Notes to Financial Statements, applied on a basis consistent with the preceding
year.

To the Honorable Mayor and

City of Iowa City, Iowa
SCOPE
We have examined the financial statements of the City of Iowa City,
Iowa for the year ended June 30, 1979, and have issued our report thereon dated
August 20, 1979. As a part of our examination, we made a study and evaluation of
the City's system of internal accounting control to the extent we considered nec-
essary to evaluate the system as required by generally accepted auditing
standards. Under these standards, the purposes of such evaluation are to es-
tablish a basis for reliance on the system of internal accounting control in
determining the nature, timing and extent of other auditing procedures that are
necessary for expressing an opinion on the financial statements and to assist the
auditor in planning and performing his examination of the financial statements.
The objective of internal accounting control is to provide reasonable,
but not absolute, assurance as to the safeguarding of assets against loss from
unauthorized use or disposition, and the reliability of financial records for pre-
paring financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. The ac-
counting control should not exceed the benefits derived and also recognizes that the
evaluation of these factors necessarily requires estimates and judgments by
management.
There are inherent limitations that should be recognized in considering
the potential effectiveness of any system of internal accounting control. In the
performance of most control procedures, errors can result from misunderstanding of
instructions, mistakes of judgment, carelessness, or other personal factors.
Control procedures whose effectiveness depends on segregation of duties can be
circumvented by collusion.. Similarly, control procedures can be circumvented "
intentionally by management either with respect to the execution and recording of „
transactions or with respect to the estimates and judgments required in the
preparation of financial statements. Further, projection of any evaluation of
Internal accounting control to future periods is subject to the risk that the
procedures may become inadequate because of change in conditions and that the
degree of compliance with the procedures may deteriorate.
Our examination of the financial statements made in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, including the study and evaluation of the
City's system of internal accounting control for the year ended June 30, 1979,
that was made for the purposes set forth in the first paragraph of this report,
would not necessarily disclose all weaknesses in the system because it was based
on selective tests of accounting records and related data. However, ouch study
and evaluation disclosed the following conditions that we believe to be weak-
nesses. The corrective action proposed is also mentioned.

CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 110NES
+ A. Budget Consistency
Finding:
When we attempted to trace the original budget and amendments approved by the
Council to the accounting records we noted several inconsistencies in fund
classification of programs. We would suggest that each fund be standardized
as to program to eliminate future inconsistencies.
City Response:
This problem has occurred in those funds which contain expenditures for more
than one program. In the future, funds will be standardized by program as much
as possible and program breakdowns for those funds which include more than one
program will be well documented as to program content.
A. Budget Amendments
i.
Finding:
The City Finance Committee has stated in its finance manual that city councils
should provide written rules as to how budgeted dollars can be transferred
from one activity to another within the same program. To our knowledge such
rules have not been adopted. Council approval Is not needed for such trans-
fens within the same program, but written rules should be prepared governing
such transfers.
- City Response:
It is the City's program
y policy that all transfers between funds within a are
submitted to Council for approval. Written rules covering this policy will be
prepared and submitted to Council for approval by October 31, 1979.
V C. Development of an Accounting Manual
_. Finding:
i
— Switching the City's financial reporting to the accrual basis makes it more
beneficial for the City to develop an accounting manual which would document in
writing most accounting procedures. We suggest that the City consider allocating
_ the time needed to develop such a manual.
City Response:
" Consideration will be given to the development of an accounting manual,
however, it is unlikely that such a manual could be completed until after the
t
accrual conversion is finalized.

D. Authorized Signatures
Finding:
While reviewing authorized bank account signature we found an account which
still had an old authorized signature which should have been previously re-
moved. We suggest a periodic routine be set up to review these.
City Response:
The bank account signature card has been updated. It should not be necessary
to review these tarda at any time other than when there is a change in any City
Official who is authorized to sign the cards.
E. Grant Compliance
Finding:
In the course of our examination we noted a possible violation of the Davis -
Bacon Act in a project funded by federal monies. We encourage you to hire a
person to monitor the use of all state and federal grant money which comprises
approximately 22% of. the City's total budget. At the present time the monitoring
of these grants is scattered throughout the City and as a result it appears that
the funds are not being properly monitored for specific grant requirements.
City Response:
With regard to the possible violation, the City is seeking to locate payroll
records for one project and on another project the City has paid, those
employees affected, the $47 underpayment which occurred on one payroll. A
shortage of staff has attributed to the lack of monitoring. Vacant positions
are being filled and these personnel will be monitoring compliance and
providing assistance in project implementation. Until all current positions are
filled, and an assessment is then made of the City's ability to provide suf-
ficient monitoring of all projects, it is extremely difficult to weigh whether
the additional cost of increasing staff would be beneficial.
F. Library Purchasing Procedures
Finding:
At the present time the library has no written purchasing procedures. We
suggest that the library adopt the City's purchasing manual until such time
as the Library Board adopts its own written purchasing manual.
City Response:
The recommendation will be given to the Library Board. The library has some
established purchasing procedures and rules. It should be no problem to
review expand as necessary and gather them into a manual if the Library
Board should decide it would be useful.

(,. Fire Protection Receipts
Finding:
During the year the City received payments from the University of Iowa for fire
_. protection. Part of this money was receipted into the Trust and Agency Fund for
police and fire pension contributions. We feel that the entire amount should
be receipted into the general fund and then be transferred to the pension fund.
The University is contracting with the City for fire protection, which Is e
function of the general fund.
City Response:
The payments are based upon actual costs incurred by taxpayers in providing
fire protection and these costs do include expenditures from the Trust and
Agency Funds for fire pension contribution. Since the University is not a
taxpayer, but utilizes City fire protection, their payments are computed
based upon what their share of the cost of fire protection would be if they
were a taxpayer. Since fire pensions are levied under and paid out of the
Trust and Agency Fund it makes no sense to receipt that portion of the
University's payment which covers pension costs into the General Fund.
H. Tort Levy Proceeds
Finding:
In the past couple of years the City has passed a tort levy in order to create
a self-insurance reserve. Based upon the City's correspondence with the State of
Iowa during the year, we feel that the City is no longer able to use the tort levy to
create a reserve for self-insurance and that the only thing that the funds levied
in prior years can be used for is to pay insurance premiums.
City Response:
The.City has recently received an opinion from the State confirming that the tort
liability levy cannot be used to set up a self-insurance reserve. The balance
i in the tort liability fund and those funds levied to be collected in FY80 for the
insurance reserve will be used for future insurance premiums, claims and damage
judgments. A tort liability levy will not be levied in the future until the
fund balance is used up. Consideration will be given to levying for an insurance
_ reserve under the General Fund, in addition to exploring the feasibility of
purchasing General Liability Insurance coverage for the City. Council will be
asked to consider these alternatives during the FY81 budget discussions.
I. Bond Reserve Transfers
Finding:
y The City presently makes bond reserve and sinking fund transfers semi-
annually instead of monthly as stated in the bond ordinances. We realize
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIIIES
II
that monthly transfers do create more work; however, we would suggest that if
you continue to only transfer semi-annually, that transfers always be made in
advance so as to never cause a technical default with the bond agreement.
City Response: ~
In the future, semi-annual transfers will be made in July and January, con- _
stituting advances to the reserves.
The foregoing conditions were considered in determing the nature, timing
and extent of audit tests to be applied in our examination of the financial state-
ments, and this report of such conditions does not modify our report, dated August 20,
1979, on such financial statements.
COMPLIANCC MATTERS
The following comments about the City of Iowa City's operations for the year
ended June 30, 1979 are based exclusively on knowledge obtained from procedures
performed during our independent examination of the financial statements of the funds
of the City for the year ended June 30, 1979. Since our examination was based on tests
and samples, not all transactions that might have had an impact on the comments were
necessarily examined. The comments involving statutory matters are not intended to con-
atitute legal interpretations of those statutes. r
1. Official Depository Banks
The City's depository banks are:
Bank Maximum Authorized Deposit
First National Bank, Iowa City, Iowa $6,000,000.00
Iowa State Bank, Iowa City, Iowa 6,000,000.00
Hawkeye State Bank, Iowa City, Iowa 6,000,000.00
A resolution naming these banks as official depository banks is on file
with the State Treasurer. The maximum deposit amounts were not exceeded
during the year.
2. Certified Budget
Program expenditures during the year ended June 30, 1979, did not exceed -
amounts budgeted therefore.
3. Entertainment Expense
We noted no expenditures for parties, banquets or other entertainment for
employees that we believe may constitute an unlawful expenditure from
public funds as this is defined in the Attorney General's opinion dated
March 12, 1976.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
The City's accounts are maintained, and the statements of fund operations
are presented, on a cash basis, reflecting only cash received and disbursed.
—
Likewise, fund balances represent each fund's cash and investment balances.
Therefore, receivables and payables, accrued revenue and expenses and equip-
ment and depreciation, which are material in amount are not reflected and
_
those statements and the related fund balances are not intended to present
the overall financial position or results of operations in conformity wlith
generally accepted accounting principles. Another significant accounting
policy Is as follows:
General Long -Term Debt Group of Accounts:
The statement of general long-term debt is presented on a modified
cash basis. The general long-term debt is presented at face value
on the accrual basis. The amounts available and to be provided to
service the debt is presented on a cash basis.
tI
Note 2. Commingled Cash and Investment Accounts
The City deposits the cash of most funds in a commingled bank account
,•j
and makes disbursements and investments from the combined cash balance.
Investments are accounted for at cost. Investment balances and interest
s� ,
received are allocated to funds in some cases by the specific -identification
;
method and in others based on the funds; proportionate balance in the common
bank account.
i
Note 3. Pension Plans
i
^'
Police and fire employees:
The City maintains pension systema for all fire and police personnel and
accounts for these systems with Fire and Police Retirement Funds and the
Fire and Police Pension Funds. These systema are financed by the City
by levying property taxes. The total City contribution for the year
ended June 30, 1979; was $411,164. At July 1, 1978, the actuarially
computed value of amounts to be contributed in the future by the City
was $5,466,950. Effective July 1, 1979, the annuity savings fund and
the annuity reserve fund accounts of the pension and retirement funds
are to be discontinued and members who had not previously withdrawn
their annuity portion prior to that time will be refunded their entire
accumulated contributions over the next year. The total amount to be
refunded is $536,700.
Other employees:
Non fire and police system City employees participate in the Iowa
Public Employees Retirement System (IPERS). Contributions of 3.69
and 5.25% of the first $20,000 of wages are made by the employee
and the City, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 6. Continued
(c) Depreciation, Extension $2,000 per month for sewer bonds, $3,000
and Improvement per month for water bonds, and $5,000
for parking bonds
(d) Operation and Maintenance $500 per month for the water bonds only
Reserve until the account aggregates $50,000
The bond ordinances also require that the City enforce rates for water,
sever, and parking services that are large enough to produce revenues
adequate to retire the revenue bonds including interest.
Another important restriction on the outstanding water and sewer bonds is r,
that the bond ordinances state that the City guarantees that none of the
facility's property would be sold, leased, mortgaged, or disposed of as
long as such property is useful or essential. This restriction continues
as long as any such bonds are outstanding.
Note 7. Contingent Liabilities
ri
The City is named as defendent in several legal suits, most of which are
material in amount. There are three significant suits that the City is
named in.
The City is a defendant in ■ breach of contract suit in which the plaintiff
seeks $436,000 damages for loss of property value resulting from limited ~
sewer capacity. The plaintiff would, as an alternative, accept increased
sewer facilitiies in place of monetary damages.
The City is also named as co-defendant in a railroad crossing fatality suit
totaling $753,000. Because the railroads liability has not been determined,
the amount of remaining exposure to the City is not readily determined. "
Within the General Fund, the City, has restricted $174,000 of funds in
order to cover judgements already rendered against the City which are still
being appealed. Included is a judgement in the amount of $108,000 representin;
back rent from the City for not having proper title to land used for a munici- —
pal parking lot.
The City's attorneys advise that it Is impossible to determine the likeli-
hood or potential of an unfavorable outcome or any potential recovery for
any of the above suites.
