Knight explained that the Special Alley Project concerns the north -south alley which runs from the Burlington Street -Muscatine Avenue intersection to the Court Street -Oakland Avenue intersection. Ile further explained that the staff recommenda- tions would be to make this alley one-way leading south. The residents in the area concur with this recommendation. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES /?if Committee on Community Needs October 3, 1979 Page 2 .Johnson moved, and Barker seconded, that the alley running north -south between the Burlington Street -Muscatine Avenue intersection to the Court Street-Oakiand Avenue intersection be made one-way going south. Motion carried unanimously. Knight then explained the recommendation of the 'Traffic lingincer not to request a Pedestrian cycle at the Intersection of Highway G and Keokuk. After some discussion on this topic, Ilaldeman moved and McCormick seconded that the 'Traffic Department continue to research the feasibility of a Pedestrian cycle at the intersection of Ilighway G and Keokuk. Motion carried unanimously. The 1'inni item discussed by Knight was the Sidewalk Repair Program in the North Side I one Hickory Ili 11 wrens. Knight stated that the assessment programs requested by the residents were not feasible and that staff recommended repairing as many of the sidewalks as funds would permit in these areas. It was Pointed out that CCN had recommended at their May 30 meeting that any money remaining from the budgeted amounts on other projects in these areas be put into the Sidewalk Repair Program. McCormick suggested that residents in these two neighborhoods should be given another opportunity to decide what they wanted done in the neighborhood, because the original meetings were held two years ago. After some discussion of this topic, McCormick moved and Hall seconded that neighborhood meetings he held in the North Side and Hickory Hill areas to re-evaluate the Sidewalk Repair Program in these areas. Notion carried 10-I (Ilaldeman opposed). Barker asked what, if anything, could be done about the seats in some of the bus stop shelters. Silo said that she had heard some complaints that the scats were too low and that the elderly had problems getting up. Knight said that he would check with Hugh Mose, 'Transit Director, to see if anything could be done to remedy this situation. Swisher suggested that the Committee read through the Neighborhood Site Improvements Program Monthly Progress Report for September and ask any questions they might have at the next meeting, 'I'll's suggestion met with nPProvai from those attending, i Small Cities Project: i Milkman explained that the City Council had gone along with CCN's recommendation that residents of the Small Cities area be given the option of selling their property if the property was not required for the improvements.

JOHNSON COUNTY COUNCIL ON AGING PRESENTATION: Alvin Logan, member of the Johnson County Council on Aging Board, asked the Commission to consider a proposal to make the Council a part of the City services at the Senior Center. He said that presently they have a program but no money with which to finance it. Berlin replied that community f groups can provide some services better than the City. The City Council has been quite definite on the subject of providing no direct services at the Center, but rather providing the space for others to do so.

The Commission expressed no serious concerns as to these changes. The architects expect to receive an independent estimate of construction costs next week. In this way they will know if they are on target or if cuts need to be made. Berlin mentioned that a letter had been sent to Robert Welsh with carbon copies to Don Sehr and Russ Proffitt reiterated the City's position that the only money available for kitchen equipment was the $50,000 contributed by the County. Attached was a list of the essential equipment recommended by the architect and additional alternatives which could be chosen if the equipment on the essential list comes in low. OTHER BUSINESS: Meisel passed out sample statements of purpose, philosophy, objectives for Senior Center. She asked Sando to moderate the next meeting at which these would be discussed. The Commission decided that they needed a special work session in which to review these and draft their own. It was agreed to meet on September 26 at 7:30 PM in the City Manager's Conference Room.

It was determined that the priority item of business was the formal recommendation to Council of which agencies should be invited to locate at the Senior Center. At this point there is an informal agreement between certain agencies and the City, but nothing in writing. The Commission advised Meisel to have available at their next meeting material concerning the agencies and their requirements; guidelines and policies for use of Center space by agencies; what exactly the City is offering these agencies; what the City expects in return. A draft of a survey prepared by the Gerontology Project was passed out. This survey could provide the City, County and University with information about the 7,000 county elderly. This information would be useful in planning services, projects, activities and classes to meet the needs and interests of the community. It was agreed that members would be prepared to critique it at their next meeting. The Commission decided that they would again attempt to begin their study of Senior Center purpose, goals and objectives at the next regular meeting.

MEMBERS PRESENT: Klaus, VanderZee, Smithey, Graf, Dennis. STAFF PRESENT: Cook, Steinbach, Kuebler, Vezina. OTHERS PRESENT: Michael Kennedy, David Poula, Ralph Neuzi1. Chairperson Klaus asked for corrections or changes to the minutes of the board meeting of September 13, 1979. VanderZee moved, Dennis seconded, that VanderZee's motion located on page 7 be revised to show that the intent of the motion was not to require the City to cover the cost of the damages to Mr. Bright regarding the installation of handrails. Steinbach stated that the tapes of the hearing would be rechecked and the minutes would be corrected if they showed a misquote. Motion carried unanimously. Graf moved, Dennis seconded, that the minutes of the meeting of September 13 be approved as amended. Acceptance was approved by unanimous vote. Chairperson Klaus swore in those who would testify. NOTE: Willie Wulf was not sworn in as he stated he would not testify. BOARD TO HEAR THE CASE OF WILLIE WULF & MS. ROSE CAMPBELL - Steinbach stated that the appeal had been properly filed and that the appeal had been requested by both Willie Wulf and Rose Campbell. It was noted for the record that this case was being heard for the first time; however, it was being heard on a continuous basis since it was first slated to be heard at the September 13 hearing. Steinbach then asked Mike Kennedy if he was representing both Ms. Campbell and Mr. Wulf. Mr. Kennedy replied that yes he was. Kuebler stated that on June 21 he conducted an annual inspection with manager Willie Wulf on the property located at 915 E. Washington. A notice of violation was served to Mr. Wulf on July 13, and on July 16 Mr. Wulf came to the office of the Housing Division and at that time it was agreed that the inspector would remeasure the ceilings of the third floor apartment as per a request by Mr. Wulf. On July 17, Inspector Kuebler did, in fact, remeasure the ceiling height of the third floor apartment. Inspector Kuebler then read into the minutes the applicable code section which states the required ceiling height in all habitable rooms. Kuebler then entered three photographs of the third floor dwelling unit for the record and they were marked exhibits 1, 2 and 3. Both Mr. Wulf and Mr. Kennedy approved the photographs as accurate record. Inspector Kuebler explained to the Board the layout of the third floor apartment and presented evidence regarding the actual measurements of the knee walls, the sloping walls and the peak ceiling. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 1401NES 041 HOUSING APPEALS BOARD September 27, 1979 Page 2 Kennedy asked whether "ceiling" was ever defined in the Iowa City Housing Code. Kuebler responded that no, not to his knowledge. Kennedy then read Webster's definition of "ceiling" to the Board members. Kennedy presented his feelings to the Board regarding the language of the ceiling height requirements and stated that a dwelling unit such as this should really not be taken off the market. He stated that he would be willing to work with members of the Board and staff in finding an alternate interpretation of the Code in order that such a dwelling unit could remain on the market. Klaus asked Cook if it would be appropriate to go to the dictionary for a definition of the term "ceiling" if it was not already defined in the Code. Cook stated that most lawyers do go to the dictionary for definitions. However, it should be noted that the interpretation should include a common sense aspect also. The question was brought up by the Board that, in a case such as this where there are slanted areas, when does a wall become a ceiling? Webster's dictionary defines a "ceiling" as being overhead. Steinbach stated that the department's interpretation of the Code is such that a ceiling is measured at that point in which the measurement between the floor and the ceiling is at least seven feet. In single family dwellings and duplexes, the square footage of a room may be figured from that point at which that measurement is five feet. Kuebler read the entire Code section into the minutes, and Steinbach stated that in computing the average ceiling height there are two other factors which enter into the requirements. First, that a computation of the square footage of a habitable room is measured at those points in which the ceiling height is seven feet or above, and secondly, that all habitable rooms must have a width of at least seven feet. Steinbach then went to the blackboard and drew a diagram of this third floor apartment and showed the method by which both ceiling height and square footage of a habitable room are computed. Klaus asked Kennedy about the appeal regarding electrical outlets. Kennedy responded that he had mainly investigated the appeal of ceiling heights and that Mr. Wulf could supply more accurate information regarding the electrical outlets. Wulf stated that he had spoken to an electrician and that all electrical changes could be made. However, they would all be surface mounted. He stated that there was considerable expense in complying with the Code; however, compliance could be made if an adequate amount of time was given, i.e. about 60 days. The question of required light switches was discussed which showed that Steinbach and Kuebler had conducted an inspection to double check the location of required light switches and that the violation had been properly cited as per current departmental policy. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES Mo111ES HOUSING APPEAL.. BOARD September 27, 1979 Page 3 Wulf stated that all other corrections regarding the notice would be made within the alloted amount of time given in the notice of violation. Kennedy asked another question regarding the ceiling height violation - what is a finished ceiling? Steinbach replied that it would be a smooth area that the inspector could stretch a measuring tape from the floor to measure the given ceiling height. Kennedy asked whether that was, in fact, an administrative interpretation. Steinbach replied that there were other code requirements referring to the condition and general maintenance aspects of walls, floors and ceilings, and the interpretation was derived from those types of requirements. Kennedy asked that the Board give the statute a liberal interpretation and that a more accurate definition of the term "ceiling" be sought for clarification. VanderZee stated that even if it were possible to compute the ceiling height in a different manner, perhaps according to Webster, that the apartment would still be in violation of the requirements of space or square footage. Kennedy replied that lack of room area was not listed on the notice of violation. He then asked if it would be possible to compute the dimensions of this dwelling unit in such a way as to show that the unit would conform to the requirements of the Housing Code. Cook then asked whether the computations could be conducted in a different fashion also. Kuebler again gave the Board an explanation of the ceiling configuration and stated that a more liberal interpretation of the Code regarding required floor area would show that at the actual floor level a computation of the square footage would show that the dwelling unit conformed to the minimum requirements. Steinbach stated that the requirements being discussed are requirements which are also found in the State Code. He stated that the problem is primarily being generated in those dwellings which were originally built and used as single family dwellings and had, at a later date, been converted in use to a multiple status. The basements and the attic areas of these dwellings were not originally intended to be used as habitable space. He stated that the method of calculating the requirements and/or deficiencies was an accurate method. However, it was his personal feeling that this unit was, in fact, a clean and safe unit. He stated that the department, in enforcement of these requirements, is being forced to vacate units which otherwise would be perfectly adequate living quarters. Klaus asked Kennedy whether any investigation had been done to find out whether the dwelling would conform to the requirements of the grandfather clause regarding ceiling height. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 1101HES HOUSING APPEAL.. BOARD September 27, 1979 Page 4 Kennedy replied that no investigation had been done at this time. Cook submitted to the board a definition of ceiling found in the arch- itectural and building trades dictionary. This was read into the minutes by Kennedy. VanderZee stated that although he was very sympathetic to the appellants, he could not see any way in which the Board could not uphold the notice of violation as written. VanderZee moved, Dennis seconded, that the violations be upheld. Klaus stated that for the Board to do anything other than uphold the State Code they would be left open to liability. Klaus stated that the Board, in the form of a Housing Commission, had made recommendations to Council to alter these requirements. However, it was noted in Council that the requirements could not, by law, be less stringent than those found in the State Code. The Housing Board stated that this problem should be put on the agenda of the Housing Commission to make suggestions that the City Council contact the State Legislature in exposing these problems and that suggestions be made to change the requirements on the State level. Steinbach stated that he had just completed an analysis of the State Housing Code, State Building Code, and local housing code, which would be submitted to City Council to show the inconsistencies between the codes and said memorandum would eventually be forwarded to the State Legislature. The notice of violation was upheld by the Housing Board of Appeals on a unanimous vote. BOARD TO HEAR THE CASE OF MR. DOUGLAS EDMONDS - 728 E. COLLEGE Steinbach stated that the appeal had been properly filed and that as was the case with the prior hearing, this appeal was being heard for the first time on a continuance basis. Kuebler stated that he had conducted this request inspection on July 10 as per the wishes of Mr. Jerry Zaiser. Mr. Zaiser came to the Housing Division and picked up the notice of violation on July 19. Kuebler stated that on July 27, an administrative review was conducted regarding this case. Pursuant to that administrative review, two of the light switches which had originally been required in the notice of violation were at that time rescinded due to departmental policy. Kuebler read into the minutes the applicable code sections requiring light switches. Kuebler stated that the departmental policy regarding light switches was such that a light switch would be located at each exterior entrance into a dwelling unit and that switches should be located in such a manner that egress from any habitable room to the exterior of the dwelling unit could be lit in case of an emergency. Kuebler showed the Appeals Board a diagram of the floor plan, drawn from memory, with the approval of Mr. Edmonds. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140IIIES HOUSING APPEAL- .,OARD September 27, 1979 Page 5 Steinbach presented the policy that was being used by the Housing Division in regards to the light switch requirement, since there was some gray area as to the way the requirement is written. He then went to the blackboard to illustrate the light switch installations being required of Mr. Edmonds. Existing switches were diagrammed and their functions were noted. Steinbach stated that light switches would be required at the exterior entrances to a dwelling unit; however, if there were more than two such exterior entrances, since the Housing Code only requires two means of egress, the same policy is being applied with regard to light switches in that only two exterior entrances would need to have switches for the purpose of illuminating those rooms adjacent to the entrances. Steinbach stated that due to the ambiguity of the code language in regards to light switches, that it had been extremely difficult to formulate a policy to be used to enforce the requirement. Since every dwelling unit is different, the department would certainly welcome any suggestions from the Housing Appeals Board in formulating a policy regarding said enforcement. VanderZee questioned Mr. Edmonds in regards to the fact that this was a request inspection. Edmonds replied that he and two associates had decided to purchase the property and wanted to make sure that it conformed to the requirements of the Housing Code. Upon receiving the notice of violation, they felt that the requirement of light switches was unreasonable and that all the other violations were, in fact, items which they agreed should be corrected. He stated that even though he did not expect the Board to take it into consideration, the installation of said light switches would create an initial hardship for the owners because at this point they were only breaking even on the investment. Graf questioned Mr. Edmonds as to the current use of the dwelling since it i had been stated that the supplied facilities, i.e. kitchen facilities were located in the basement for those roomers who occupy the second floor. Edmonds replied that the house was owned, and the rooming units were operated by, the prior owner who maintained her living quarters on the first floor and that the tenants seemed to be quite satisfied with the geographic location of the supplied facilities. There was some question as to what sort of illuminaries or lights were being required by the Code at this time. Steinbach clarified the intention of the Code by stating that it was necessary that there be a wall mounted switch which activated an illuminary within the habitable room. A viable substitution for a switch would be wall mounted light fixture with a switch attached to it. Kuebler went to the blackboard and made clarification of the light switches that were being required by the City. Edmonds stated that in certain parts of the dwelling, he felt that there was enough spill light from other rooms to meet the requirements of the Code. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES IIOIREs HOUSING APPEAL. BOARD September 27, 1979 Page 6 VanderZee stated that the policy being implemented by the City could be much more stringent than it was in that they could be requiring a light switch at each and every entrance to a room, therefore requiring a light switch on each side of every entry between rooms. VanderZee moved, Dennis seconded, that the notice of violation be upheld as amended. After some confusion and extensive clarification, "amended" was determined to mean that a light switch would be required at the exterior entrance to the kitchen, at the exterior entrance to the living room, and at the entrance to the living room from the kitchen. Motion carried unanimously. Smithey, who had been absent for the first part of the meeting, joined the other board members. VanderZee left the meeting. BOARD TO HEAR THE CASE OF MRS. REGINA HENNESSEY - 234 N. Mg5IS0N Those present in the Hennessey party were Mrs. Regina Hennessey, Mrs. Hennessey's son, Paul, Attorney David Poula, and tenant Thomas Mishak. Those who would testify were sworn in by Chairperson Klaus. an Steinbach inspectiontn atthis property June 26, and oInspector July23 he issued a notKellVezina iceofviolation to Mrs. Hennessey. This notice of violation was received by Mr. Paul Hennessey on July 25. A letter requesting an appeal before the Board i was received by the City Clerk on July 31, it was written by Atty. David P. Poula. Steinbach stated that subsequent to the notice of violation being issued to Mrs. Hennessey, an administrative review had been conducted and it was found that two of the items listed on the notice of violations had been sited under the incorrect chapter numbers. A notice was then sent to Mr. Poula and Mrs. Hennessey to inform them of the proper code sections. Paula stated that pursuant to the notice of violation, all of the elec- trical work being required had already been done and that in regards to the lack of valid permit, he had in his possession a "certificate of compliance" so that the only violation being appealed at this time was the lack of required window area in Mrs. Hennessey's dwelling unit. The letter written in clarification of the notice of violation was read into the record by Inspector Vezina and accepted by the Board as part of the public record. Inspector Vezina then went to the blackboard where he had drawn a diagram of the entire basement of Mrs. Hennessey's dwelling. He stated the requirements of the State Code regarding window area and also gave the board information concerning the required amount of window area if a window is to be used for the second means of egress. Smithey questioned whether the requirement for a second means of egress had been cited on the notice of violation. Inspector Vezina replied that MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1401IIES HOUSING APPEAL_ BOARD September 27, 1979 Page 7 no, it had not, however the information was being supplied to the Appeals Board such that, if Mrs. Hennessey were required to install more or larger windows in her dwelling unit, that this requirement would certainlbe a consideration in said installation. y Poula asked when the requirement of window area had been adopted as a City Code. Steinbach stated that to the best of his knowledge, it would seem logical that since this requirement was found in the State Housing Code, that it would have been part of the Iowa City Housing Code at whatever time the housing code was adopted by the City. The specific date was not determined; however, Poula stated that it really was not necessary information for this hearing. Mrs. Hennessey stated that she had lived at this dwelling for 50 years, it had been a rooming house for 50 years, and that there was no longer any private property surrounding her dwelling. She stated that all adjacent property belongedf Iowa. whichShasstloc t daacrossCtity he street, and built a waterworks there. She stated that she had no place to go except for where she was. According to Mr. Poula's question to Mrs. Hennessey, she stated that approximately 20 years ago, an agreement had been reached between Mr. Poula's senior partner; Mr. Cahill, and the University stating that Mrs. Hennessey could live at her residence as long as she wanted to. She stated that this was the only reason she was the last one still living in this neighborhood. She stated that her age was 88 years and that she wished to live at her residence until she died. Paul Hennessey stated that he had all the electrical work done that had been requested and that the total cost had been $1244. He stated that the monthly income on the property was approximately $450. i Poula stated that it is unreasonable for the City to require Mrs. Hennessey to add approximately $10400 of windows since the University will acquire Mrs. Hennessey's property upon her death. He stated that he was asking the Housing Appeals Board to overrule this requirement and to let Mrs. Hennessey live in peace and she should have the right to live wherever she wants to. Graf stated that she felt they could not require Mrs. Hennessey to change the windows since this is her private residence and the City does not require that of other owner occupied residences. Steinbach stated it had been the previous policy of the division not to inspect those portions of a rental property which were occupied by the owner. However, as of a year ago, inspections had begun of each and every dwelling unit within a complex or rooming house for the purpose of determining total compliance within any given structure so that when a rental permit was issued, it could be shown from a liability standpoint of the City that the whole structure conformed to the requirements of the Code. i- -- - - .. .,..,.., MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES HOUSING APPEALa dOARD September 27, 1979 Page 8 Cook submitted information found in the Housing Code which gives authority of the Housing Inspector to inspect all dwelling units which are either lived in by an owner/operator or by tenants. She stated that the scope of the Housing Code would include private dwellings within the City. She stated that an administrative policy was such that inspections were only conducted on single family dwellings due to complaints or in a situation such as this where the owner lived in one of the units located within the rooming house or apartment building. Poula stated that this structure had been built some 80 years ago and that it had been operated as a rooming house for at least 50 years and that the lack of required window area in no way affected the tenants which rented from Mrs. Hennessey. It was also stated that there were no grandfather clauses which would affect this window requirement. Poula stated; the fact that Mrs. Hennessey continues to live at this residence is due to an oral agreement by the University that Mrs. Hennessey can continue to live at this residence for as long as she lives. This agreement has been honored by the University through at least a half a dozen instances. Steinbach asked Mrs. Hennessey and Mr. Poula if this residence had in some way changed use, i.e. was the basement originally built as a basement or was it originally constructed as a dwelling unit. Mr. Hennessey and Mr. Poula replied that the basement rooms had been used for sleeping purposes by Mr. Hennessey and Mrs. Hennessey for approximately 49 years. Mr. Hennessey's bedroom was originally the coal room. Poula submitted to the Board a certificate of compliance issued in March, 1978. This was done to show that Mrs. Hennessey was not operating without a valid permit. Vezina stated that, although it is not noted on the certificate of compliance, the expiration date would be in May, 1979. Mr. Hennessey stated that it was the City's fault in not contacting Mrs. Hennessey to let her know that a new permit must be applied for at the proper time. After further inspection of the property file, it was found that application for a housing permit was made on June 6, 1979. Inspector Vezina explained to the Board members the policy regarding application for a permit and the scheduling of annual inspections. It was then noted that a permit is not issued until all corrections are made; however, a copy of a permit application is sent to the owner if proper application has been made and a fee has been paid. Poula stated, for the record, that the only violations that are being appealed are those of lack of valid permit and lack of required window area. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 110111ES HOUSING APPEAL- BOARD September 27, 1979 Page 9 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 of 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. lie 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. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MONIES HOUSING APPEAL. BOARD September 27, 1979 Page 10 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. i 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. f�_— _ -- —,..,,, MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES HOUSING APPEAL, BOARD September 27, 1979 Page 11 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 owner, then the City could not be held responsible for such actions. 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 the purpose 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 district court rather than take the time to go before the Housing Appeals Board. He asked whether it was not the purpose of this hearing to determine a practical way to solve the problem. He felt that jacking 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. i 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. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOVIES HOUSING APPEAL..;OARD 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 MOIRES HOUSING APPEAL_ 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 & 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 set a 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 M1, Lack of valid permit be upheld, and that k3, N4, and N5 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 decision if the evidence presented would show that in upholding this violation it would, from a financial viewpoint, constitute a "taking" Smithey stated that he felt that this had already been implied by MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 140111ES r HOUSING APPEAL_ dOARD September 27, 1979 Page 14 Mr. Rhodes' statements. Cook replied that as an evidentiary matter, she did not feel that had been proven. The City is not authorized to take property without due process. Smithey's motion to uphold violation #1 and not uphold #3, #4 and #5 was 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. Meeting adjourned. PREPARED BY: APPROVED BY: MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 3 V Minutes: Iowa City Airport Commission September 20, 1979 Iowa City Civic Center Members Present: Bleckwenn, Embree, Redick, Saeugling Members Absent: Phipps Summary of Discussion and Actions Taken: The meeting was called to order by Saeugling, in the absence of Chairman Phipps. Approval of the minutes of the August meeting was deferred until next month. It was moved by Embree, second by Bleckwenn to approve the bills for the month. Motion carried. Embree reported that she had inspected Sturgis Ferry Park, and that she could substantiate Gleaves' allegations that the City uses it for an equipment dump and salvage yard. She reported that the City Manager assures that it will be cleaned up this fall. General discussion followed. Bill Gilpin, Chairman of the Iowa City Riverfront Commission, and Mary Ann Milkman presented their proposals for the design and location of a boat ramp on the Iowa River. It would be on the west bank, directly across from the airport's brick hangar, which sits next to the threshold of runway 24. Design plans were distributed to Commission members. General discussion followed. i Embree asked why the Riverfront Commission chose that particular location. Milkman replied that the local fishermen would like to j have a ramp close to the Burlington St. dam. She also commented that, at present, there is no boat ramp on the Iowa River in Iowa City. Also, the location proposed is near highway 218, a main entryway to j Iowa City; a dock there would focus attention on the river. Gilpin reported that the funding will come 50/50 from the State Conservation Commission Marine Fuel Tanks Fund and from Community Development. Embree asked about other possible locations. Milkman reported that a ramp could not be built near the sewage plant because of many eddies and currents, and also the liability of people walking around the open tanks. Napoleon Park was another possibility, however it is farther downstream from the Burlington St. dam than the proposed site. General discussion followed. f Redick asked if the ICMAC would be making a statement as to owner - i ship of the property in question by permitting a boat ramp to be built there. Gilpin quoted a letter from Berlin, dated July 16,179 f stating that it would not affect the position of the ICMAC or City Council as to ownership. General discussion followed. Jones commented that the Riverfront Commission's proposed site near the airport's hangar was, in his opinion, ideal, and he encouraged such a development. General discussion followed. It was moved by Bleckwenn, second by Redick, that the ICMAC conditionally O.K. the construction of the Riverfront Commission's proposed boatramp on MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 1: (2) said Sturgis Ferry Park, conditions being: (1) that the ICMAC's attorney review any ramifications of ownership on said land (2) that the total area of the ramp and park be within the approach zone to runway 29 (3) that a proper lease be drawn between the ICMAC and the city of Iowa City outlining the legal boundries of said land. Motion carried, with Bleckwenn, Redick, and Saeugling voting aye, Embree nay. Dave Byers, the Master Plan consultant, presented the major alter- natives open to the ICRAC and the Iowa City communitys (1) no development of the airport (2) obtain a new site (3) develop the existing site Advantages and disadvantages of each alternative were discussed. General discussion followed. Embree stated that many people would not accept lengthening a runway as a primary alternative. Redick commented that while many people would be in favor adding aircraft parking spaces and taxiway lights, they would not be in favor of longer runways. General discussion followed. Byers commented, in response to several questions, that should plans for runway extension be on the Master Plan Study for 1986-90, the runway would not necessarily have to be extended between 186 and '90. General discussion followed. Embree questioned the part of the Master Plan Study (MPS) which stated that jets cannot be prevented from using the Iowa City airport. Byers answered that the statement stemmed from a Federal Court case involving the Santa Monica airport. General discussion followed. iByers stated that the money to improve the existing airport would come from the FAA's planning grant program which is funded by people who buy aircraft tires, airline tickets, and avgas. General discussion followed. Embree commented that on the next MPS draft, she would like to see more footnotes, page numbers, better spelling and punctuation, and less text ambiguity. She specified that the draft should explain how the estimated costs were obtained. General discussion followed. Redick asked about the status of the environmental impact statement. Byers reported that the environmental assessment report can't be written until the ICMAC decides which alternative to go with. He also reported that, for federal funding, the ICMAC needs only an airport layout plan and an environmental assessment report. General discussion followed. Carol deProsse asked that three points be clarified: (1) that the figures used in the MPS forecasts through the year 2000 are in 1979 dollars] Byers stated that they were. (2) would the MPS address the question of what land might be acquired by Iowa City as a protective area around the air- port; Byers stated that this would not be done until the ICMAC recommends an alternative, e.g, to develop the existing site. In that case, the problem of acquiring land would be part of airport development and would be part of the study. (3) an explanation of the court case in Santa Monica; MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES (3) Byers stated that he would try to obtain documentation within a week. Ed Thomas questioned whether the Kimball Co. has studied what he termed deficiencies and points of violation around the airport. He stated that these should be in the report. General discussion followed. Mr. Sonnig mentioned that although prime farmland would be sacri- ficed for a new airport, industry does this anyway. Byers commented that it is not easy or sometimes possible to take someone's farm to use for an airport. Sonnig commented that the Kimball Co. has based its study on projected use of the Iowa City airport. New developments may take place in the next twenty years to make the airport insufficient. Byers reported that the first two forecasts are for ten years, and that such things as hangars and aprons would be built on demand. General discussion followed. Ken Lowder asked if Byers could project ten to twenty years into the future to get the impact of the airport on the surrounding area, with and without a runway extension. Byers stated that if the ICMAC opts for developing the existing site, that such a study will be added to his contract. Lowder commented that the existing study shows no recommendation to change the situation of people affected by the traffic pattern at Iowa City. Byers reported that noise abatement will be part of the MPS after the ICMAC makes a decision concerning the three major alternatives. Dale Rockenbrach commented that advancements in aircraft technology might soon permit jets to land safely on relatively short runways. Byers reported that the MPS has taken that into account. Rockenbrach also commented on the monetary.advanbages of building a completely new airport. Duane Ingram commented that a new airport would not be the equivalent of the present one, as it would have only two runways. He also commented that should a certain runway be made more convenient to pilots, they would use it more often, and thus avoid runways with potential noise problems. Dick Blum, chairman of the Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission (ICPZC) stated that his commission is considering providing the ICMAC with a plan of artificial surfaces through which ground construction couldn't penetrate. It was moved by Bleckwenn, second by Redick that the ICMAC endorse and actively encourage the ICPZC to proceed with flat plane zoning of the Iowa City area. Motion carried. Saeugling read a letter from the FAA dated August 17, 179, concerning student flying restrictions. Redick read a letter from Willard Binns in which he reported that a Crystal -Shamrock airplane flew too low over his house, near the Iowa City airport, on August 28, 179. Redick had a similar complaint. It was moved by Redick, second by Embree to direct the chairman of the ICMAC to write to Crystal -Shamrock Airlines in Minneapolis, advising them that they are creating anxiety in the Iowa City community, and to suggest that they land at Cedar Rapids if possible. It also should be suggested that, when landing at Iowa City, they avoid overflying residential areas. Motion carried, with Embree, Redick, and Saeugling voting aye, Bleckwenn abstained.

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MONIES . -. Iowa City Airport Commission Master Plan Study Public Information Meeting #3 Na_r Alternatives Iowa City Civic Center - 27 September 79 Airport Commission Members Present: Bleckwenn, Embree, Phipps, Redick, Saeugling Summar of discussion: Phipps called the meeting to order at 7:30PM, and turned the meeting over to Dave Byers, the Master Plan Study (MPS) consultant. Byers stated that the background for the major alternatives came from Phase I of the MPS, e.g, traffic forecasts, airport capacity to accommodate that traffic, and facility require- ments to meet future needs. Byers listed, as major alternatives, (1) no development,(2) obtain a new site, (3) develop existing site. Advantages and disadvantages of each were discussed; Byers recom- mended developing the existing site. He showed plans of the airport, illustrating different improvements, such as new parking areas and taxiways. Byers emphasized that the ICMAC is not obligated to go along with any one of the alternatives. or suggestions for airport improvements; they are simply his own recommendations. He did comment, however, that the FAA would probably not fund much that wasn't on a MPS. Byers then opened the meeting for questions and comments from the public. Barry Ginsberg asked how long it would take to build a new airport. Phipps said that, with all funding immediately available, it would take one year. Ginsberg discussed the possibility of obtaining municipal bonds, and related that to the financing of a new airport, John Nett compared projected uses of airport land with current use. He mentioned that the City could buy land around the airport, and restrict its use. He stated that, on a twenty year scale, the airport, at its present location, would be incompatible with the city of Iowa City, and should be moved. Elliott Full congratulated the Kimball Co. and Mr. Byers on a careful and thoughtful study. He then asked about the financing necessary to buy 'clear zones at the end of the runways. Byers replied that full funding Could be obtained for that. I Mr. Sonnig did not agree that the MPS was either careful or thoughtful. He stated that significant data was witheld. He also stated that local pilots use a particular runway not because of wind conditions, but because of accessibility and convenience. He suggested that merely lengthening runway 6/29 would not guarantee that pilots would use it a good deal of the time. Also, he pointed out that the consultant's suggested taxiways would make 12/30 easily accessible. Mr. Sonnig also discussed the consultant's recommen- dations for new airport locations. Saeugling agreed that there were better sites than those listed in the current phase of the MPs. He commented that, in his opinion, Iowa City needs an airport, and that it should be something more than a patchwork that will, in his opinion, result from the consultant's report. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES (2) Ed Thomas stated that he didn't like the report. He stated that it did not include violations around the current airport facility; specifically, approach clearance over highway 1 and 218. Pete Peterson stated that the report was a good one. He discussed runway extension, and commented that 6/24 was the only logical choice. He had polled former airport commission members, and found that they all agreed that Byers.' third alternative was the practical solution to the difficult problem at hand. He read a paper from the former commission members, concerning the third alternative of improving the current airport. John Redick stated that much data in the report was unsubstan- tiated, but that there were good points made in the study, particularly regarding improvements suggested for the existing airport. He commented that the report did lack environmental impact information. He also discussed runway extension, saying that this would invite jet traffic. In addition, he stated that the report too quickly dismisses the alternative concerning re- locating the airport, which should be seriously considered. Dick Blum, as chairman of Iowa City Planning and Zoning, showed a comprehensive land use map. He showed that new housing was excluded from critical approach and departure paths of the Iowa City airport. He pointed out that no new subdivisions are contemplated along existing approach and departure paths. His personal comments first concerned clarification of Byers' airport plans, and possibilities for future traffic patterns. He then commented that he doesn't think that the noise from airport traffic has gotten worse in the past few years; he stated that it has been improved in the years since United and Ozark left. He stated that can be arranged to bar certain categories of aircraft from certain runways. He also challenged pilots, members of the ICMAC, and local citizens to join him to discuss the impact of aircraft noise on the Iowa City community, and to help find a solution. Barry Ginsberg commented that he would like to see data proving that aviation is necessary for local business. He also discussed whether an increase in business and industrialization would lower property taxes - he thought not. Concerning the U. of Iowa Hospital, yet not reflecting hospital policy, he discussed whether it makes any difference if critically ill patients and transplant organs are brought into the Cedar Rapids or Iowa City airport, before they are transported to the hospital. Ken Lowder stated that if the airport were redeveloped at its present site, and if the city didn't grow and airport traffic increased, the problems of noise and safety would also increase. He remarked that this problem was not addressed in the MPS. Byers replied that this was not in his contract. Lowder asked for evidence that extending runway 6/24 sould decrease or alleviate noise and safety problems for Iowa City. Byers explained that a computer was used for that part of the study, and that it showed a sub- stantial reduction in noise. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES (3) Dale Rockenbrach stated that moving the airport to a new loca- tion should be given serious consideration in the study. He also asked to whom one should complain about an airplane flying to low. Phipps replied that the FAA was the proper agency. Phipps commented that many people had been complaining to the consultant, but that the ICMAC should also accept responsibility for the study. He stated thet when the decision was made to employ the consultant, the runways needed repair. The ICMAC was irformed at that time that in order to receive federal funding, it was necessary to have a MPS. Therefore, the study is a method to get federal and state aid for runway and other airport repairs. Ginsberg commented that the study was too qualitative. Phipps stated that there was presently no funding available for a more quantitative study. Sonnig asked what restricted the study, and how much it cost. Byers replied that his report was outlined in his contract, and that the study cost $32,000. Dick Blum stated that when the concept of a MPS was first presented two years ago, both the City Council and the ICMAC were opposed to moving the airport. Three years ago, the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan Committee looked at alternate sites for the airport, and unanimously advised the ICMAC that the probability of relocating the airport was virtually nil. In addition, he commented that a new airport would invite more jet traffic, and that cities generally tend to expand in the direction of the local airport. E.K. Jones pointed out that the Iowa City Flying Service is one of three companies in Iowa licensed to fly critically ill patients, and that the Flying Service does transport many of them. He also discussed the MPS of 1962. Saeugling stated that the MPS of 1962 did not preclude development near the airport. Embree discussed keeping the airport open at its present site, and and the need for compromise and public input. She commented that the airport's present location was unsuitable for industrial development, because of nearby housing and the high water table. She stated that many local citizens are in favor of airport improvement without runway extension. General diccussion followed. Rockenbrach asked at what level of flight operations would a tower be necessary. Byers stated that Iowa City was nowhere near it. Lowder and Byers discussed the practicality of alternate site selection. Phipps then closed the meeting to public discussion, after asking if there were any further comments. Byers commented that Phase II must be approved before he could continue with the MPS. The possibility of expanding Byers' contract to include additional research of alternate sites was discussed. Embree stated that there sould be four major alternatives, instead of threes (1) no improvement (2) alternate site (3) improve the present airport (4) improve and expand the present facility. General discussion followed. Resurfacing runway 17/35 was also discussed. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES (4) It was moved by Bleckwonn, second by Embree to defer any action this evening, and that the Chairman should set up a working meeting for the ICMAC and Byers so that corrections can be made on Phase II. Motion carried. It was moved by Embree, second by Bleckwenn to go ahead with the application for federal funding for improvement of runway 17/35. Motion carried. Phipps read the list of those who had applied for the position of Airport Manager. Commission members had previously read their applications, and selected their preferred candidates. They collaborated on a list of candidates that everyone thought were especially well-suited for the jobs John Davis Dennis Gordon Ronald Hanelt Ernest Nelson James Wachendorf Garret Winter Fred Zehr Richard Zmolek Phipps commented that the City will send letters to all the appli- cants as soon as the ICMAC indicates those to be interviewed. A letter from the Department of Human Relations concerning such applications was read. The meeting was adjourned at 10s95PM.

Lee has a prepared cost estimate of $7,500 for operation on weekends in the spring and fall and 6 days week in the per summer, It would be possible to reduce this some by using interns,etc. Boutelle asked Nickelsburg if the Friends board would still be active, and if they would support and assist in Museum operation, Nickelsburg will meet with the board and report back at the October meeting, I The future of Black Hawk Mini-Park was discussed, Howell and Showalter felt that the Park had been a splendid idea and very successful, but that it was designed as a temparary park, and if kept as a permanent park would require substantial attention, The bricks are settling, causing low spots where water stands in the summer, and freezes in the winter.

Fort and possibly arrive at a decision. No other items are to come before this meeting. Nusser expressed that he did not believe a closed session would be of any, value if each member of the Commission had deliberated over the information individually as he had. Anderson and Orelup agreed that a closed session would not be necessary as there was no information to exchange in a closed session that would be helpful to any of the Commission members. Attorney Honohan was given an opportunity to speak. He addressed some comments to the media stating that he felt his client's rights had been violated by the media flap and Fort was the one who had suffered. He stated that the Commission was acting properly on September 17, the media sneaked out and returned with a xeroxed copy of the open meetings law and this was done only for the benefit of the media. Honohan stated that open meetings are wonderful, we are all for it, but in this instance the media had trampled on a citizen's rights for the sole benefit of the media. Orelup moved that the Civil Service Commission vote to rescind the action of Harvey D. Miller of September 28, 1978 and to reinstate Ronald R.

The question of this being a simple motion or a bylaws change was brought up. The motion was tabled by a unanimous vote. 5. Discussion of guidelines for processing of complaints. It was suggested that a three month time period be used as a reasonable guide from the time of the complaint to the time the investigative j team receives the report.

Ellarson presented 24 points relative to the duties and responsibilities of the general contractor, and his subcontractors, the architects and the Library Board of Trustees during the construction period. Complete minutes of this portion of the meeting will be prepared by Ellarson and will be on file in the Library as an attachment to the minutes of this meeting. The minutes of the Regular Board meeting of August 23; and Special meetings of September 11 and 21 were approved. The disbursements of September 1 and 15 were approved. Zastrow/Bartley.

Immermann/Ostedgaard. Unanimous. The Board reviewed the draft of goals and objectives for FY1981 and gave tentative approval pending a full budget draft in October. The purchase of two Panasonic Omnivision II NV -8170 1/2" video cassette players from the Gifts and Bequests Fund for $2200 was approved. Immermann/Richerson. Unanimous. These players will be used to meet requests of library users and to allow the library to begin purchasing and circulating this Format. Ilalf-inch video cassettes are highly repre- sented by subjects the library wishes to get under the $16,000 LSCA audio- visual grant, and by entertainment films. There is a strong possibility that this more convenient format eventually can replace 8mm films and the library needs to get experience using it. One player would be used for in-house needs and to train borrowers; the other would be loaned. A proposal to revise reimbursement rates for expenses incurred by library trustees, employees or agents while using private vehicles for library business from 15¢ to 18¢ permile effective immediately and from 18¢ to 20¢ permile effective July 1, 1980 was adopted. Richerson/Hyman. Unanimous.

This proposal called for a major department store associated with a downtown hotel. While we neither-agree.or disagree with any individual pro- posal, we feel that conceptually, the addition of another major, department store could be a definite benefit to the economic well-being of the community. Iowa City's position in competition with surrounding cities is very definitely affected by the variety, size and number of business outlets in the downtown area. At one time we enjoyed 4 major depart -ment stores - Penneys, Sears,.Younkers, and Wards. The addition of a%3rd department store associated with a hotel on the - Penney,s.lot would still be less than the four we once had The Downtown Association would urge you to reconsider your initial reaction to this 'proposal. This resolution was passed unanimously by the Downtown Association Hoard of Directors which includes small businesses as well as major department stores.

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES 4967 i i f 1 i I i 1 f i i i City o9 Iowa C6_y Date: October 11, 1979 To: City Manager and City Council From: Michael E. Kucharzak, Director Re: Housing Code Enforcement This memorandum is meant to be an overview of the policies, procedures, enforcement problems, code conflicts and administrative decisions regarding the administration of the Housing Occupancy and Maintenance Code. This memorandum is also designed to serve as a cover memo to a report comparing the State Housing Code and the Housing Occupancy and Maintenance Code and is hopefully an answer to some of the questions that have recently arisen due to the code enforcement activities of recent months. ANNUAL INSPECTIONS AND LICENSING Iowa law requires that all multiple dwellings be inspected annually. The Housing Occupancy and Maintenance Code as adopted by Council, requires that multiple dwellings and rooming houses be inspected annually and receive a rental permit. Owner/operators are notified by mail 60 days prior to the expiration date of their current housing permit and by this notice are invited to make an appointment for the annual licensing inspection. The letter is accompanied by a permit application and a request for inspection card that can be completed by the operator and mailed back to the City. The owner/operator has to remit the application fee along with the completed permit application to start the licensing process. Upon scheduling the annual licensing inspection, the inspector surveys the entire building and verifies the area being licensed to the floor plans on file in the City office. These floor plans were completed on the majority of licensed structures during 1978-79 and while providing a verification that room sizes and window sizes are in accordance with the code, they also provide a valuable record of the actual portions of the building under license. All inspections by the Housing Inspector are conducted as official business by the City. ORDERS AND EXTENSIONS Upon completing the survey, the housing inspector either issues the housing permit or a notice for the violations requiring correction. Unless the violations are of an emergency nature or requiring immediate attention for seasonal or other reasons, the property owner normally receives 90 days to make the necessary corrections on the property. The housing inspector is obligated to perform reinspections to assure that the building is indeed brought into compliance with the code within the prescribed time. This reinspection process is carefully monitored through a system of dated file reminders to assure that the City's MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MONIES 2 liability under Iowa tort liability law is not neodlessly extended due to administrative or clerical oversights. Only when an employee exercises due care in executing statutory duties is the municipality exempt from liability. As the work progresses, the housing inspector has the authority to allow extensions of one half of the previous time period allowed to make the corrections. Thus, a 90 -day order can, upon reinspection, be extended another 45 days, and if additional work is done at that time, an extension can be made of 23 days. This extension process will continue, as long as a good faith effort is being made by the owner to bring the property into code, until time runs out. At that time the housing inspector is obligated to refer the case to the senior housing inspector with a recommendation for placard and condemnation of the building, rent withholding and/or court. The end goal of all actions of the department is compliance with the Code, not penalization to the owner/operator. APPEAL L RIGHTS Also required under State law and the City of Iowa City Housing Occupancy and Maintenance Code, is the right to appeal the order issued by the housing inspector. This right to appeal is stated on the written order and once exercised, stops the clock in effect, by staying all further action until such time as the appeal is heard and'a decision is made by the Housing Appeals Board. EMERGENCY ORDER To deal with items of a more serious nature, an inspector may issue an emergency order which follows the above procedures except that an emergency order may not be written for more than 15 days and the right to appeal does not stay action required to repair the defect and thus remove the hazard. Emergency orders are designed to deal with hazardous electrical, plumbing and heating problems and nuisance complaints such as garbage and refuse disposal, pest infestations and unsanitary maintenance. RENT ESCROW Rent escrow is not an item of the State Housing Code but has been included by the City Counci to provide a tool to achieve compliance. Rent escrow procedures are normally initiated when there has been an obvious disregard for the order as evidenced by a recalcitrant property owner and a lack of a good faith effort to comply with that order. Rent escrow is undertaken by having the City housing inspector declare the building as eligible for rent escrow and by notifying the owner and tenants of this eligibility. The code then requires the tenants to initiate the rent escrow by exercising their legal rights to open up an escrow account at a local lending institution to serve as a depository for the rent. With proper documents recorded at the court house, the Housing Inspector then certifies the building under Rent Escrow. The City housing inspector is MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIOIIIES then obligated to notify the escrow agent and the parties affected when the building complies with the Housing Code. RECENT PROBLEMS The current staffing of the Housing Inspection Division including a new supervisor, has caused a restructuring of administrative procedures which, while providing accurate interpretation of the Housing Code as evidenced by actual field inspections, has resulted in the uncovering of a variety of violations that have existed for a long period of time, often on buildings that have been approved by housing inspectors in the past. This, of course, results in a rather frustrating situation on the part of the public finding themselves in a situation of violation. It also makes for a difficult enforcement role for the inspectors, who are properly administering the code and yet receiving a great deal of criticism for being "too strict." The majority of the violations being uncovered deal with ceiling height 1 requirements, lack of minimum window requirements and improper handrails and guardrails. All of the aforementioned violations are items which can be shown to be in violation with the use of a tape measure. Previous inspection policies did not require inspectors to take field measurements and therefore caused a lot of violations to go unnoticed. BOARD OF APPEALS The situation is further complicated and becomes even more frustrating to A the administration of the division when no relief can be granted in the form of a hearing or appeal on items that are part of the State Housing Code. This means that ceilings that are less than the 7'6" requirement or windows that fail to provide the minimum amount of light and ventilation according to the code cannot be exempted in any way by the staff or the Housing Appeals Board since exemptions and variances are specifically prohibited by State law. This does not prevent the City Council from providing a mechanism for granting exemptions or completely eliminating code sections that are not spoken to in the State law. For example, the State Housing Code does not have a handrail and guardrail requirement. The Iowa City Housing Occupancy and Maintenance Code does have specific requirements for guardrails and handrails which, at the request of the Building Board of Appeals, was taken from the Uniform Building Code and, with the endorsement of the Housing Commission and the City Council, was i made the law for existing buildings. This same philosophy also affects the requirements for storm windows, smoke detectors, light switches, and tenant/landlord checklists. PUBLIC RELATIONS It has been brought to the attention of the supervisors that there have been complaints regarding the attitude and/or diplomacy of the housing j inspectors. Comment has been made that other law officers such as police officers use discretion when enforcing the code. We all know that a MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES a Police officer will not give you a ticket for driving 31 miles per hour in a 30 mph zone. Housing Inspectors do not have such discretion since the Code requires that "upon determination that all applicable provisions of the Housing Code and of any rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto, and other applicable codes of the City of Iowa City, Iowa have been complied with by the operator, the Department of Housing and Inspection Services shall issue a rental permit for said specific dwelling or dwelling unit." To use our automobile analogy, we are not talking about moving violations, but conditions similar to the regulations requiring state inspections of automobiles prior to sale; if you have defects in your car you will not get a white title. Annual licensing inspections with a code that is going through several changes and experiencing growing pains can be extremely taxing to the relationships with the public and internally with the staff. Cognizant of the debilitating effect a day -in and day -out involvement with the Housing sessions toe can ve on refreshethesknowledgethe thatethetilnspectoent rscts havengainedrandito f provide educational opportunities to reinforce the health safety aspects of the code. This alone, while improving the abilities of the inspectors, i cannot alleviate the frustrations recognition of a code that does not permit a of the fact that hardships are readily created through its enforcement and its blatant absence of any means for granting relief in ' those cases where special or unusual circumstances warrant such relief. a Since we have shared the problem, we feel obligated to offer a possible solution to the inability to use discretion. Perhaps the Code could be reworded so that certain items dealing with life. safety and the State Code could be grouped into a section that would become mandatory prior to issuance of a license. Other code items such as nuisance items, garbage, rubbish and the like, could be separated from the license requirements. 5 Of course, the inspector would be obligated to enforce the code items not part of the license but would be able to pursue their corrections without 5 holding up the license or suspending a license once issued. it The Director of the Department of Housing and Inspection Services was hired in 1977 to administer the department, in part, due to the fact that he possesses some 17 years of experience in the administration of housing codes. It should be noted that much of the experience gained dealt with Iowa cities and while few are aware of the state housing law, none, to my knowledge, enforce the law to the levels expected in Iowa City. It is not ;+ uncommon for cities in Iowa to have housing appeals boards that grant consideration and relief to prope corrected wrty owners having violations that cannot be readily ithout creating hardships as long as those I violations do not affect the health and safety of the occupants. Many cities in Iowa have chosen to adopt the Uniform Housing Code and have disregarded the State Housing Code. I do not wish to encourage the MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIOIIIES L 5 /11 breaking of any law, however, it should be noted that a strict adherence to an obsolete and callous state ordinance is the bases for the problems and frustrations being experienced here in Iowa City in our good faith attempt to provide decent, safe and sanitary housing.

I can assure the Council, the Manager and the general public that our goal to serve and to administer the code equally to all has been foremost in our objectives. bj/sp MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110IRES City of Iowa Cit" MEMORANDUM Date: October 10, 1979 To: Michael E. Kucharzak, Neal G. Berlin and City Council From: Terry Steinbach, Senior Housing Inspector Re: State Housing Code The following is an examination of the State Housing Code; Section 413 of the Code of Iowa, 1979 edition. This examination relates to the Uniform Building Code which the State of Iowa has adopted as the standard of specifications used for new construction. Comparisons are also made of the Iowa City Housing Code, Chapter 17 of the Code of Ordinances of Iowa City. The purpose of this analysis is to show the inconsistencies and irrelevancies of the State requirements as they apply to everday building and housing inspection. Some of the State housing requirements are quite outdated and a thorough review of the State Code is needed to ensure a standard for dwelling units which is consistent with the standard of living of the residents of Iowa in the 1970's and 1980's. It is the feeling of this department that due to the inconsistencies of the State adopted codes, that the State Housing Code, Section 413 be repealed. The Uniform Housing Code, 1979 edition, is written in combination with the Uniform Building Code which the State has adopted. It is this department's feeling that the Uniform Housing Code would fill the void left by such a repeal, without creating any further incon- sistencies between the two adopted codes. The following analysis has been kept as brief as possible in order that the broadness of the problem can be recognized. Some of the following State Housing Code sections are followed by personal comments regarding enforcement, and others are followed by Uniform Building Code sections in order that the direct inconsistency may be shown. The enforcement of one set of standards, rather than two or three, would eliminate many problems in enforcement of the Housing Code and eliminate many problems in the creation of Housing Code requirements. It must also be mentioned at this time that the State Housing Code leaves no avenues open to grant variances to specific requirements. Chapter 413.9, Minimum Requirements - Power of Cities. "...No ordinance, regulation, ruling or decision of any municipal body, officer or authority shall repeal, amend, modify or dispense with any of the said minimum requirements laid down in this chapter, except as specifically provided herein." The Uniform Housing Code allows an appeals Board the discretion that has not been given them in the State Housing Code. Further, it should be noted that in Chapter 413.11, Application of Provisions, "Provisions of this chapter in conflict with the State Building Code shall not apply where the State Building Code has been adopted, or when the State Building Code applies throughout the State." bdw2/10 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES IIOIRES n A. P9. 2023, #413.3 DEFINITIONS 5. Family Occupancy For the purposes of this chapter, a "family" is a group of persons living together, whether related to each other by birth or not, and may consist of one or more persons. Comment: Definition is so vague and unrestricted that it permits dwellings to be overcrowded by often non -related groups of people. Proposed Change: 5. Family Occupancy For the purpose of this chapter, a "family" shall mean one person or two (2) or more persons related by blood, marriage, adoption, placement by a governmental agency, social service agency, or a family may consist of two (2), but not more than twelve (12) persons not related by blood, marriage or adoption, occupying a living unit as an individual, housekeeping organization. Pg. 2026, #413.13 REAR YARDS Immediately behind every single and two family dwelling hereafter erected there shall be, except as hereinafter provided, a rear yard extending across the lot, for a distance equal to at least one width of the dwelling. Such yard shall be open and unobstructed from the ground to the sky. Every part of such yard shall be directly accessible from every other part thereof. The depth of said yard shall be measured at right angles from the rear lot line to the extreme rear part of the dwelling. Such rear yard space shall in no case be less than ten feet deep, and two feet additional for each story of the dwelling on said lot above the first. An irregular shaped lot, or lot subject to building line restrictions, may be occupied by a dwelling without complying with the provisions of this section, if the total yard space equals that required by this section. Comment: "Open and unobstructed" yard space is ambiguous. Does this prohibit the installation of temporary storage sheds, play equipment, etc.? Does it also create a problem in the installation of tall fences around gardens? The local Zoning Code and/or State Zoning Code might be a better instrument to regulate lot size and use. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES I 2 C. Pg. 1912 #413.20 WINDOWS In every dwelling hereafter erected every room shall have at least one window opening directly upon the street or a public way or other public space which measures fifteen feet in width, or upon a yard or court of the dimensions specified in this chapter, and located on the same lot, and such window shall be so located as to properly light all portions of such rooms. This provision shall not, however, apply to rooms used as kitchens, art galleries, swimming pools, gymnasiums, squash courts or for similar purposes, provided such r000ms are adequately lighted and ventilated. For purposes of this section, adequate ventilation may be either a system of mechanical ventilation which provides not less than 15 interchanges per hour or natural ventilation as specified in Section 413.21; and further, for purposes of this section adequate light may be either a system of artificial light which provides healthful and sanitary conditions in all spaces of the room or natural light as specified in Section 413.21. I Comment: i This language conflicts with the State Building Code which defines a public way as space greater than 10' in width. Clarification of language would certainly eliminate the ambiguity as to the window requirement. Furthermore, according to my calculations, a reasonable requirement for adequate mechanical ventilation would be five (5) air changes per hour rather than fifteen (15). D. Pg. 1912, #413.25 WINDOWS IN BATHROOMS 1 in every dwelling hereafter erected, every water closet compartment I and every bathroom shall have an aggregate window area of at least four square feet between stop aids opening directly upon the street, or upon a yard or court of the dimensions specified in this chapter. Every such window shall be made so as to open in all its parts. Nothing in this section contained shall be construed so as to prohibit a general toilet room containing several water closet f compartments separated from each other by dwarf partitions, provided such toilet room is adequately lighted and ventilated to the outdoor air as above provided, and that such water closets are supplemental to the water closet accomodations required by the provisions of Section 413.32. The above provisions shall not apply to hotels or dwellings that have a system of forced ventilation so constructed as entirely to change the air in every bathroom, every seven minutes. toilet room or water closet compartment I j Comment: In calculating the normal size of bathrooms and the standard air flow Of most commercially available vent fan systems, it would be much more realistic to require that a complete air change in a bathroom I� I should only take place every twelve minutes.

If, however, any side yard is left, it shall be open and unobstructed from the ground to the sky, and its width shall be proportionate to the height of the dwelling, and no side yard shall be less in width in any part than as follows: 1. Multiple Dwelling. In the case of all multiple dwlelings hereafter erected, one story in height and having a side yard, the width of the side yard measured to the side lot line shall be at least four feet, and such side yard shall be increased in Width by one foot for each additional above the first. 2. Private Dwellings and Two-Famil Dwellings. In the case of private dwellings and two-family dwellings In erected, one story or two stories in height, the width of the side yard measured to the side lot line shall be at least four feet; such side yard shall be increased in width one foot for each additional story above the second. 3. Distance Between Buildings on the Same Lot. Where more than one dwelling is erected upon the same lot, the distance between them shall not be less than eight feet in the case of dwellings i of one or two stories in height, this distance to be increased two feet for each additional story above the second. i Comment: These items might be addressed better in a state or local zoning ordinance. F. Pg. 1911, #413.15 COURTS - SIZE OF The size of all courts in dwellings hereafter erected shall be proportionate to the height of the dwelling. No court shall be less than any part than the minimum sizes prescribed in this section. The minimum width of an outer court for a one-story dwelling shall be five feet, for a two-story dwelling six feet, for a three-story dwelling seven feet, and shall increase one foot for each additional story above three stories. The least dimension of an inner court shall never be less than twice the minimum width prescribed by this section for an outer court. The width of all courts adjoining the lot line shall be measured to the lot line and not to an opposite building. Comment: From a residential viewpoint, the construction of courts has been rare for the last 20 years and these requirements are addressed in Section 1306C of the Uniform Building Code. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MONIES ■ 4 G. �. 1119 #413.16 COVERED COURTS i No court of a dwelling hereafter erected shall be covered by a roof Or Skylight. Every such court shall be at every point open IroBi the ground to the sky unobstructed; except that in the case of hotels, courts may start on the floor level of the lowest bedroom story, and in the case of other multiple dwellings where there are stores or shops on the lower story or stories, courts may start at the top of such lower story or stories. Comment: This requirement should be introduced into a building code. H. PA. 1911, #413.17 AIR INTAKE In all dwellings hereafter erected every inner court extending through more than one story shall be provided with a horizontal intake at the bottom. air Comment: The Building Code Section 1306C. states the same requirement in more specific terms. I. Pg. 19111 #413.18 CORNERS OF COURTS Nothing contained in the foregoing sections concerning courts shall be construed as preventing the cutting off of the corners of said courts. Comment: ! This requirement should be in a building code, however, it is probably quite obsolete. J. Pg. 1912, #413 23 HEIGHT OF ROOMS r No room in a dwelling hereafter erected shall be in an y part les ! than seven feet high from the finished floor to fininshed ceilings; 1 i the average height of any such room shall not be less than seven feet i six inches, accept that an attic room used for living purposes in a private or two-family dwelling need be seven feet six inches in one- half its area and that areas less than five feet shall not be I considered as a part of the required room area. s Comment: The former Senior Housing Inspector has stated that "Numerous occupied units have been erected subsequent to this code which do not meet the seven feet, six inch average. Enforcing this code could require vacating 100 to 200 units in Iowa City." This inspector feels that there could be some sort of happy medium which would still i afford the safety needed to satisfy the intent of this code. It could be a dated or limited grandfather clause. I MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140IIICS 5 It should also be noted that this requirement is currently being enforced and appeal statistics show that said enforcement is creating quit, a hardship on owners or oreraLors. the corrections necessary to meet the rpquirpmpl, of l.he osto(iof making those cases where the decision to make corrections has been made, create a hardship and eventually that cost is passed on to the tenants. Other solutions result in the units being vacated or a change in use. Many of the units being vacated are otherwise quite livable dwellings. K. Pg. 1913 BASEMENT OR CELLAR UNDER ENTRANCE FLOOR Every dwelling hereafter erected shall have a basement, cellar or excavated space under the entire entrance floor, at least three feet in depth or shall be elevated above the ground so that there will be a clear air space of at least 18 inches between the top of the ground and the floor joists so as to insure ventilation and protection from dampness; provided, however, that cement floors may be laid on the ground level if desired. i Comment: This requirement is dealt with in Sections 2517(c)2 and 2517(c)6 of the Uniform Building Codewith much more applicable language being used there. I would suggest that this section be dropped from Chapter 413. I L. Pa. 1914, 8413.38 STAIRS IN TWO-STORY MULTIPLE DWELLINGS Every multiple dwelling two stories or more in height hereafter erected shall have at least one flight of stairs extending from the entrance floor to the roof; and the stairs in public halls therein I shall each be at least four feet wide in the clear. All stairs shall be constructed with a rise of not more than eight inches and with treads not less than ten inches wide and not less than four feet long 1, in the clear. Comment: I am not sure that the requirement of a stairway from the entrance to the roof has ever been enforced. The Uniform Building Code, Section 3305(o), states a less restrictive requirement of said stairway needed in every building four (4) or more stories in height with a { i roof pitch not greater than 4 in 12. {r + M. Pg. 1915, 8413.45 CELLAR ENTRANCE I I In every multiple dwelling hereafter erected there shall be an entrance to the cellar or other lowest story from the outside of said building. MICROFILMED BY j JORM MICROLAB I CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 6 Comment: New construction design generally uses the lowest floor level for dwelling units and has only a small utility room for furnace, electric meters, etc. Such design does not permit outside entrance, but the rooms are fire isolated from the dwelling units. Further consideration to this requirement should be given. N. Pg. 1915, #413.54 DUMB -WAITER AND ELEVATOR SHAFTS All dumb -waiters and elevators hereafter constructed in multiple dwellings shall be in enclosures constructed of fire -resistive materials with fire -restrictive doors at all openings at each story, including the cellar. In the case of dumb -waiter shafts such door shall be self-closing and such shaft shall be completely separated j from the stairs by walls of approved fire -resistive material enclosing the same. This section does not apply to dumb -waiter shafts or elevator shafts which are already in existence, but only to those which may be installed after this chapter takes affect. Comment: This code requirement is already covered by prevailing fire codes'. 0. Pg. 1915, #413.56 HEIGHT OF DWELLINGS No dwelling shall be increased in height so that it exceeds A times the width of the widest street on which it abuts nor in any case exceeds 100 feet. Comment: This requirement is addressed more effectively in current zoning or building codes. P. Pg. 1915, #413.58 SKYLIGHTS - VENTILATORS All new skylights hereafter placed in a multiple dwelling shall be provided with ventilators having a minimum opening of 40 square inches and also with either fixed or movable louvers or with movable sashes, and shall be of such size as may be determined to be practical by the health officer. Comment: Other sections (light and ventilation) establish requirements without meaning to be specific as to the type or method of installation. Such specificity, as contained above, is often not the best solution to the problems involved in skylight installations.

Comment: The Iowa City Houisng Codes require one full bath in each dwelling unit or one facility for every eight roomers. I would suggest that the total number of occupants using a single bath facility be lowered from twenty persons to, say, 10 or 12 persons. R. Pg. 1917, #413.64 COLOR OF CELLAR WALLS The cellar walls and cellar ceiling of every multiple dwelling shall by the owner by thoroughly whitewashed or painted a light color and shall be so maintained by him when required by the health officer.

Two-family dwellings and multiple dwellings of Class A there shall be, at least one sink on every floor, accessible to each family on the floor occupied by said family without passing through any other i apartment. Where City water is not available, the owner shall i provide proper and suitable tanks, pumps or other appliances to MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140111ES M. 0 8 receive and to distribute an adequate and sufficient supply of water at each floor in the said dwelling at all times of the year, during all hours of the day and night. But a failure in the general supply of city water shall not be construed to be a failure on the part of such owner, provided proper and suitable appliances to receive and distribute such water have been provided in said dwellings. Comment: Other codes, such as the Uniform Building Code and the Uniform Plumbing Code, are more specific in regards to these requirements. This state code is so minimal that it is unlikely that most people would tolerate only one sink per floor. It might also be noted that a sink is requried in any room containing a toilet. U. Pg. 1916, #413.68 CATCH BASINS In the case of dwellings where, because of lack of city water supply or sewers, sinks with running water are not provided inside the I dwellings, one or more catch basins or some other approved convenience for the disposal of waste water, if necessary in the opinion of the health officer, shall be provided in the yard or court, level with the surface thereof and at a point easy of access to the occupants of such dwelling.

The floor and wall surfaces beneath and around the said fixture shall be put in good order and repair and if of wood shall be kept well painted. Defective and unsanitary water closet fixtures shall be replaced by proper fixtures, as defined by this chapter. Comment: Lavatories with built-in vanity type cabinetry are a popular and convenient style in bathrooms. This type of construction does not necessarily indicate that maintenance would be unsanitary. Y. Pg. 1917, #413.73 ANIMALS No horse, cow, calf, swine, sheep, goat, chickens, geese or ducks shall be kept in any dwelling or part thereof. Nor shall any such animal be kept on the same lot or premises with a dwelling except under such conditions as may be prescribed by the health officer. No such animal, except a horse, shall under any circumstance be on the same lot or premises with a multiple dwelling. No dwelling or premises thereof shall be used for the storage or handling of rags or j junk. Comment: It would be my feeling that the last two sentences be removed from this requirement. Z.

In all dwellings and in each apartment, group or suite of rooms there shall be at least one room containing not less than 120 square feet of floor area. Uniform Building Code Section 1307.(b) FLOOR AREA I Every dwelling shall have at least one room which shall have not less 150 square feet of floor area. Other habitable rooms except kitchens shall have an area of not less than 70 square feet. Comment: The Iowa City Building Inspection Division has amended the Uniform 1 Building Code to read the same as the State Housing Code, however, the State should be aware of the discrepancy between the two since it I has adopted both codes. The Housing Code of Iowa City is consistent with the State Housing Code in the requirement of 80 square feet as a minimum for the size of any habitable room.

Berlin, City Manager From: Terry Steinbach, Senior Housing Inspector Re: H.I.S. - 10% Window Requirement In an attempt to supply the City Council with information regarding the number of dwelling units in Iowa City without sufficient window area, I have taken a survey from the Housing Inspectors since our departmental filing system is not capable of supplying information regarding the number of specific housing code violations. In the past 6-8 months, the Housing Division has issued at least 21 notices of violation with regard to lack of sufficient (window/skylight) natural light. Of these, Black's Gaslight Village is the only property listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A breakdown of these violations shows that: 1) Five cases are still in violation with time left on orders to correct. 2) Seven cases, correction has been completed. 3) Two cases resulted in vacation of units or rooms with use changed to storage. (These units also lacked required ceiling height.) 4) Seven cases have been appealed. (Five cases have been upheld by Housing Board of Appeals -- Four at Black's Gaslight Village.) (Two cases not yet heard by Board.) The problems of lack of required window area and ceiling height generally arise in buildings which were originally designed for use as single family dwellings. The use and classification have been changed by the owners in order to accommodate more occupants for rental purposes and, therefore, changes need to be made to meet the minimum housing requirements. In addressing the question of hardship to the owner/operator in complying with the housing code, it is my opinion that this requirement does not cause an unfair amount of hardship on the responsible party. The violation of lack of required ceiling height has caused much greater expense to those persons who have chosen to correct the violation rather than vacate the unit. bj5/7 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB % CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MORIES City of Iowa Citi MEMORANDUM Date: October 2, 1979 To: City Manager and City Council From: Michael Kucharzak, Director of Housing & Inspection Services Re: Rezoning of Future Public Housing Site At the informal Council session of September 24, 1979, the City Council indicated a willingness to pursue placement of public housing on the site owned by University Baptist Church. As part of the option to purchase the property executed by the City, the buyer is obligated to rezone the property from RlA to R3. This rezoning is necessary to allow for the proposed construction of 20 units of public housing.

Louis Building Now Available Numerous alternative locations have been discussed during the past year or so as potential office space to alleviate the overcrowding which now exists in the Civic Center. Mr. Dennis Kraft, Director of Planning and Program Development, has been negotiating with Mr. Dick Blum for rental space of the upper floor of the Henry Louis Building located at 506 E. College within a block of the Civic Center. The building is owned by Mr. Henry Louis individually. Mr. Kraft has negotiated an agreement which we feel would be ad- vantageous to the administration of City government and would in fact enhance delivery of legal services to the City. Proposed Agreement The proposed rental agreement for office space would be for a five (5) year term at the rate of $5.25/square foot for a total of $612.50/month or $7,350/year. This payment would include heat, water, electricity and air conditioning. Refuse collection would not be included. The facilities are now clean and ready for oc- cupancy, with no remodeling required. No furnishings would be needed except perhaps reception area furniture. The upper floor contains four offices, the largest of which would serve as a combination library -conference room. The premises are pleasant and especially suited to the unique needs of the Legal Department. Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance, agrees that the rental rates are reasonable. Even though the search for additional space has gone on for some time, there is no specific budget item for such space. Thus, a budget amendment would be required to tap the general fund balance. IIICROFIIMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES I10IME5 -2- Overcrowding and Increased Workload It is becoming more apparent to even the casual observer that the increased City duties and roncommitant: additional staff, have rosulted in overcrowding in the Civic Center. This overcrowding has in turn resulted in less than optimum working conditions. The newer programs which Iowa City has instituted include the Senior Center, public housing, housing code enforcement and housing rehab- ilitation programs. Each program results not only in increased staff but also in more demands on the Legal staff. In response to these changes, Mr. Dennis Kraft of the Planning Department has been in- vestigating various sites in close proximity to the Civic Center. These sites have been rejected as office space for the Legal Depart- ment for the following reasons: 1. Third Floor - Davis Building. This location was considered for the Legal Department, but was rejected in early summer of this year as economically infeasible. Complete remodeling would have been required. 2. Old Elks Building. This building, located at the southwest corner of Gilbert and Washington, needs extensive remodeling, and the owners are not willing to do it. It is also poorly ventilated and generally not suited for office space. 3. Old Post Office. The first and second floor of the Old Post Office, plus the mezzanine, are reserved for the proposed Senior Center activities. The original plans were for the Legal and Planning Departments to be moved to the third floor. Expected occupancy is at least one year away. However, Senior Center activities may well ex- pand to the third floor. Also, there is now some question of whether non -federally funded departments such as Legal could be housed therein. The Senior Center and the Planning Depart- ment of course qualify as proper occupants. Recommendation Considering the rather unique needs of the City legal staff, it is our recommendation that the City Council consider the proposed rental of additional office space as a way to alleviate current overcrowding in the Civic Center. Moving the Legal Department would also free up space for other departmental needs. We respectfully request your consideration of the proposed move.

Plastino, Director of Public Works Re: Discussion Date for Block 64 Parking Garage \ In the bid specifications for the Block 64 garage, we had included a bid alternate. This bid alternate stated that we would make a decision on the Block 64 garage by November 2 and there was an item for the contractor to reduce his bid for this early start. There were no deducts by any of the bidders for this early start. Accordingly, we have deferred Council discussion of the completion date on the Block 83-84 garage until November 1 and action by Council, if any, would be taken on Tuesday, November 13. Letters are being solicited from the contractor and consultant on the probability of the first parking garage being partially open by Thanks- giving. Pushing the discussion to a later date will allow for more accurate prediction of whether the garage will or will not be open by Thanksgiving. As you recall, if the first garage will be partially open by Thanksgiving, many of the obstacles to awarding the bid on the second garage will be removed. On the other hand, if the first garage will not be open by Thanksgiving, the Council has stated that it will probably not award the bid for the second garage. In summary, this item will be scheduled for informal discussion on November 12 and Council action, if any, will be taken on November 13. bcl/18 cc: Block 64 File #1 Rosemary Vitosh Joe Fowler Dennis Kraft Dwight Churchill Dennis Neu MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES 071 City of Iowa Cit, MEMORAND M Date: October 5, 1979 To: Neal Berlin 1 From: Dick Plastino Re: Bus Route Changes / Neal, the proposed schedule f r obtaining and analyzing data from the general riding public is as follows: By October 10 - have cards placed in buses and issue news release advising riding public of the availability of the cards to record their opinion.

Emil Brandt, Executive Director Johnson County Regional Planning Commission 2211 South Dubuque Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mr. Brandt: This is in response to your request for information concerning the possible designation of Iowa City and environs as a Metropolitan Statistical Area (I1SA) and the effect of such designation on the need to develop a formal urbanized area comprehensive, cooperative and continuing (3-C) transportation Planning and programming process. Such a process, which conforms to federal and state laws and policies, must be established for any urban area of 50,000 or more population before a pronram of highway and public transportation projects - elioible for federal financial assistance can be approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The develoor..ent of an acceptable 3-C transportation planning process for the Iowa City Urban Area should be facilitated because such a process has been partially carried on by the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission since 1970. Although the 3-C planning process is sometimes regarded only as a requirement to receive federal funds for project implementation, it should be viewed as a mechanism that can encourage and promote the development of a multimodal transportation system which will serve the metropolitan area and state effectively and efficiently. The U.S. and Iowa DOT's will provide assistance and coonerate with local officials, actinq through a metropolitan planning organization (f -!P0), in the development of transportation plans and programs which are based on transportation needs. These plans and programs are to be prepared with due consideration given to comprehensive long-range land use schemes and social, economic, environmental, system performance and energy conservation objectives which affect the future development of the metropolitan area. To initiate and conduct an official urban transportation planninq process in the Iowa City Urban Area, the following events or actions are necessary: 1. U.S. Census Bureau designation of the Iowa City Urban Area as a metropolitan statistical area and receipt of appropriate documentation, including a map showing the extent of the urbanized area. COMMMSIONERS MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES -2- 2. Governor's designation of the 14PO responsible, together with the State, for executing the 3-C planning process in conformance with federal and state laws and policies. 3. Establishment of appropriate MPO transportation committee structure (e.g., Policy and technical and citizens advisory committees) and geographical Identification of the urban transportation study area. 4. Execution of agreements between the: (a) Iowa DOT and MPO to conduct a 3-C planning process and to provide FHWA Metropolitan Planning(P�) and UMTA Section 8 Planning and Technical Studies funds. (b) MPO and A-95 agency (if they are not one and the same) to coordinate their activities. (c) MPO and publicly owned operators of mass transportation services to cooperate in carrying out the .3-C planning process. 5. Establishment of the technical elements of the transportation planning Process. 6. Development of a. prospectus and unified planning work program (UWP). The prospectus sets out a multiyear 2- work, whereas, the UWP annually ydescribes yall surban �transpoework �tationnand related -planning activities anticipated during the next 1 or 2 years period. 7. Development and adoption of an urban transportation plan which consists of the transportation system mananEment element (a short-range plan of 5-6 years) and the long-range element (a long-rarge plan of 20-25 years). 8. Preparation of a 5-6 year transportation improvement program (TIP) .which includes projects derived from the short and long-range elements Of the urban area transportation plan. g. Certification of the 3-C urban transportation planning process. FHWA, UMTA and the Iowa DOT annually review and evaluate this planning process I for compliance with federal and state requirements. 10.

Ms. Turner requested that quarterly financial reports be sent out to Board members as they had in the past. 3) DISCUSSION OF FUTURE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING ACTIVITIES Mr. Keith Friese discussed the position of Transportation Planner and the emphasis he thought should be taken with this program. Mr. Friese said he felt there is a need for a policy decision on planning programs in the future, particularly the question of whether JCRPC will continue the strong emphasis on transit coordination. I. He said that with the current staffing level, there will be heavy demands on the Transportation Planner. He suggested that the Board keep in mind that when this area, as an SMSA, develops a certified 3-C process, it will have to have a balanced program for both transit and the street/highway system. Ms. Neuhauser said she felt the staff should assemble a specific description of the 3-C planning process so that the members under- stand why it will be necessary to have more than one person in transportation planning. Mr. Friese said that if transportation planning continues to emphasize the transit components, the person hired by the Commission should have a strong background in that area and have experience in dealing with the area wide transportation process. Ms. Turner.asked if there would be another transit grant application for next year. Mr. Friese replied that there may be no Section 3 funds for three or four years, but that state operating assistance and Section 5 funds would be available. Mr. Ferret said he felt the Commission needed to clarify the status of the Area Transportation Study so that officials would understand the need for additional staffing. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES Executive Board Minutes Page 3 There was a discussion of funding for fiscal year 1981. Mr. Hokanson explained that FY '81 will likely be a "dry" year for funds but that the situation would improve dramatically in FY '82 with the receipt of $30,000 to $40,000 in transportation planning assistance. Mr. Friese expressed concern over the transportation planning relationship between JCRPC and Johnson County. He said one recurring problem is the lack of a definitive policy of the division of responsibilities among agencies. He noted that local officials clearly recognize JCRPC as the agent for transportation planning whereas the Iowa DOT identifies ECICOG as the :osponsible unit with pass-through of some tasks to JCRPC. Mr. Friese explained that this division becomes particularly complex con- cerning the Johnson County SEATS system, because of its being treated as one of the multi -county "rural" systems rather than one of four coordinated operations in this county. Mr. White agreed that the "rural" label commonly attached to the SEATS system tends to aggravate the confusion of roles. He suggested that there should be wider recognition of SEATS as a "specialized" transit provider (elderly and handicapped) with a majority of its clients residing in the urban area. Mr. Friese discussed the role of JCRPC in coordinating transit operations. He stressed the substantial demands on staff time to assist the four separate transit systems. He suggested there should be increased attention to the potential of transit con- solidation, as suggested in the recent update of the Transit Development Program. He noted that UMTA would likely be concerned with the current arrangements at such time as federal section 5 operating subsidies are sought. There was discussion of a joint transit maintenance facility as a first step toward consolidation. Mr. Friese stressed the long- term impacts of a capital investment such as a new transit garage which may be built by one of the systems, thus impeding moves toward consolidation. He noted that the transit operators had discussed the advantages of a near -downtown site, in the vicinity of the present CAMBUS garage. He observed that such a site would require inter -agency cooperation and a higher level of political commitment to the objectives of consolidation. Mr. Friese briefly discussed the pending work on transit grants, the future application for state transit assistance, and compliance with the new 11504" handicapped access regulations.

The A1RC's Community Awareness program is working to address this need (with a focus on mental retardation). b. Information on Services A need was found for a better system of disseminating information on services in the area for handicapped persons through several media. The ARC publishes a brochure "Here to serve" which furthers the meeting of this need. c. Day Care A need for more options for day care for handicapped persons was found by the study.

It is a technology utilization system — a people -to -people network focusing on jurisc8ctions with populations of 50,000 or less. Structurally, CI1P consists of: ■ Local governments representing seven regional circuits across the U.S., which receive on-site technical assistance and set overall C IP policy; ■ Seven technology agents or circuit riders, each supplying a single circuit of several jurisdictions with technical assistance; ■ Seven Federal Laboratories contributing the ser- vices of the technology agents and providing them with technical backup; ■ The ready -technology resources of the National Science Foundation's science and technology net- works, the 187 -member laboratories of the Federal Laboratory Consortium, and the Exten- sion Service of the U.S. Department of Agricul- ture ■ Management by Public Technology, Inc., in association and cooperation with the National League of Cities and the International City Management Association. Why CT1P was Established CrOP was established in 1077 because: Increasingly governmental policy planning, decision- making, and public service delivery are shaped by science and technology, and Many small local governments lack the money and staff to meet the demands of their localities. These demands impact local governmen Is throughout the country with respect to such issues ns fuel shortages. waste water treatment, financial reporting and track- ing, street maintenance, solid waste management, and water quality. CPIP helps small local government meet the require- mants of science and technology and lake full advantage of opportunities afforded by science and technology for service improvement and cost control. What CT1P Offers Small Governments ■ A forum to identify and address priority problems and needs of small governments. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIIIES ■ Informr-_'t on technologies and innovations up- plicable smallerjurisdictions. ■ Opportunities to impact developments on applied research that respond to priority needs in small jurisdictions. Purposes and Goals CrIP works to identify common technical needs and to generate solutions which can be applied in the thousands of communities under 50,000 in population. It does this by providing local officials with a meeting ground where they can develop an agenda for research, development and demonstration projects, and trans- fer innovative practical technology. C IP develops and utilizes technology and information in three principal ways: 1 It develops an R & D agenda for the needs of • smaller communities. CHP member jurisdictions engage annually in an extensive process, synthe- sizing a concise number of priority needs from a comprehensive list of needs. This list of priority problems serves as a work plan for the program on which research, development, and demon- stration projects will be based. 2It links the Federal Laboratories through the . Federal Laboratory Consortium and other contacts. A number of these labs and Federal agencies are providing scientists and engineers on Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) assign- ments to CrIP communities. These persons, functioning as circuit -riding technology agents, provide CTIP member jurisdictions with technical assistance. The labs serve as backup technical support to the agents. 3It strives to maximize institutional interactions . and communications with existing local govern- ment representative organizations such as slate municipal leagues, the National League of Cities, International City Management Association, the national local government innovation network sponsored by the National Science Foundation, regional Rural Development Centers, and industry. These interactions facilitate the pro- gram's efforts to disseminate informa- tion on technologies and innovations to a larger audience of small local governments.

The downtown of Iowa City (Clinton and Washington Streets) Is the hub of transportation ecfivlly as three transit systems converge there to make free and easy transfers from one system to the other. The two transit systems besides Iowa City ere Cambus and Corslville Transit System. Cambus is a univeraify-owned and operated system, serving only the campus area without charging any fares. Corslville Transit serves the university and downtown Iowa City. The most commendable and noteworthy feature Is that the combined ridership of these three systems exceeds that of any other city In the entire State of Iowa, though only serving a metropolitan Population of about 50,000. Iowa City Transit System has been experiencing a steady Increase in ridership ever since Its inception during 1871. As each year passes the patronage of transit has been Increasing overwhelmingly which could be attributed to the following factors; restricted parking and shortage of parking space downtown. effective route and schedule design to meet the existing demand In ridership. Overwhelming support of the state employee support program. Approximately hall of the subscribers to the program statewide use the Iowa City Transit System. The most critical lest the transit system had to undego was during the severe 1878 winter season. Inclement weather conditions, subzero temperatures and highly demand caused a severe strain on the System during December through March• and a collapse was Imminent.

Vying for Vwwers i As Jousting for Cable -TV Franchises Gets Cutthroat, Tactics Upset Some Officials BY STAN CROCK $tallaeportrr 0/710[0 wALLSTaaaTJOnFAL Wt year, Wichita Falls, Texas, had ons of Its most hotly contested voter referee- dums ever. The Issue: whether the city should openAts doors to cable television. Opponents of cable TV ran a newspaper advertisement picturing a cable, culled like an evil snake, strangling a TV set. At two local theaters they showed bootlegged films of adult programs carried on another cable - TV system, Including comedian Redd Pass's sometimes -raunchy nightclub act and the R. rated movie "Taxi Driver." Another ad raised the specter of cable TV tuming the city into a Sodom or Gomorrah: "World communism takeover Is a real threat, but It's mild compared to neral decay that threatens to destroy us U we don't act nor." Supporters promoted cable TV as a veld- . cle for religion and children's programa and birname entertainment. They rented a theater next to the two used by opponents and showed excerpts from such cable -TV productions as a Dirk Cavett magic show and Raquel Welch's nightclub act. And they drummed up community backing through talks to the ¢Iwanis Club and other local organizations. Wichita Falls voters tamed out W record numbers. Cable TV won by a two -to -one m. tio. Similar battles between cable -TV sup- porters and their opponents are being ward In other communities. But the most bitter fights often Involve companies vying for lu- crative cable -TV franchLses that are up for bid In a growing number of clues. The competition Is cutthroat, noholda-barred," says Harold Horn, executive director of the Cable Television Information Center, a sat. profit group that has consu ted with 1,700 cities on cable -TV matters. MlBlofia at state . At stake in scores of cities from gopme to Seattle are cable -TV franchises worth minions of dollars a year. "There's hardly a major city that Isn't In the midst of this," Mr. Horn says. The franchise lights, however. are spawning Practices that worry some Indus. try officials. Robert Schmidt, former presi- dent of the National Cable Television Asso- clation, an Industry trade group, says he Is concerned that cable -Tv companies may Promise services that can't be provided eco- nomically, He also is apprehensive that "Companies, In the heat of competition, could resort to some U the tactics of the IM." Back then, at least one cable -TV ex- ecutive larded In jail for bribing city am. cials to obtain a franchise. Until recently, the cable -TV Industry has been hanrtrung N what kind of program. ming It could offer by severe restrictions the Federal Communications Commission lea. posed In 1872 to curb abuses and to protect local broadcasters. But the commission is liftif many of those riles, allowing compa- nies to offer a wider variety of prograos that Is making cable TV attractive to cur tomers In urban areas, even though they al. ready may receive a large number of regu- lar TV channels. The basic cable -TV service provides Im- proved reception from local stations and dB' nats from stations in distant cities that can't be received through the air. For a moolkly fee, homes are United to a cable that brlep In the TV signal. For an additions) in, vlesrere can receive pay-cable TV. which of- ten cor nMW-het movkv, Sports and other programa woft the Loeala Fust, however, the cable -TV companies; often must overcome opposition from com- mercW TV broadcasters and movie-tbeater maers to persuade Weal governments to al- low cable operations. Indeed, the battle In Wichita Falls occurred atter the city esund had already awarded a franchise to a unit of Time Inc.'s American Television k Commlu- nicailm Inc. Local broadcasters led the op- position, demanding and getting a referent. dant on the decision. When a city decide$ to award a cable -TV hatoise, companies compete with various strategies. In Springfield, Mo., for example, cable competitors arranged for he trips by cltycmmcB members to Inspect cable -TV systems W such places as San Francisco, Sul Diego, New Orleans, Denver and Or. ]socio, FIL, according to veronica Ffkdlas, a Springfield resident who kept tabs on the city's franchise process.

"That's Just the way It Is in every city." So far, there doesn't seem to be any hard evidence that bribery hes returned as a tac- tic to obtain franchises. But the hot demand for cable TV has attracted some fast -buck artists. Fwmatme hitch Several months ago, for example, Tele - View Productions distributed leaflets In Philadelphia neighborMods promising toeut 70% off the cat of Installing cable TV for those who signed up for the service quickly. Within three days, about 1,000 cable-hugry people gave tlnusentis of dollars to Tele, View. They had Just one problem. Nobody had been given a franchise to set up a cable -TV system In those parts of town. William Clancy of Newfoundland, Pa., had an even bigger problem City officials say he Is the man behind the leaflets, and they accuse him of attempting "a major shakedown U Phlladelphla residents," Mr. Clancy pleaded guilty to fraud charges. Among legitimate cable -TV companies, the overpromising of facilities that some ob. servers fear Is rampant, Industry officials say. The extravagant promises may include agreements to provide extensive local faclll. ties, a large number of channels and two. 19f/ way systems that permit viewer participa- tion. There Is a feeling in the industry that companies will "do and say and promise anything to get the franchise," says Jobe Evans, vice president of Arlington Telecom- munications; Corp., which operates a able - TV system In Arlington, Va. "Once a hatl- chise is awarded, there's little a city can do.' As In Wichita Falls, though, the battle over cable -TV franchises and services can continue even after a franchise has been granted. In Monroeville. Pa., two residents whose lawyer had a financial stake In an on - successful franchise applicant sued the win- ner, an affiliate of Time's American Televi- sion t Communications, or ATC, charging that It had committed perjury In Ifs applica- tions. According to the lawsuit, ATC sale it had a color studio in Lynchburg, Va., when a studio hadn't yet been built. C. Reggie Whitley, a Lynchburg city oln- cial, confirm that Is February, when ATCs application was submitted, the company hadn't built a studio. Construction began later only after numerous meeting between the company asci city omelets, he nays. at- y<ouneil members had "considerable con - em," Mr. Whitley uys, that "the services oritMvty Promised (in 1sT!) weren't being delivered." ATC officials blame the construction de- lay on the FCC and the city council. "There was absolutely no problern with our filing In Monroeville," says Joseph CoWns, ATC vice president for Bohm operations. June Travb, vice president for administration, adds, "We fed we're In compliance (with the Lynchburg franchise ordinance). We're had our equipment there." One reason for such confusion Is that lo- cal goverment officials rain aren't famD- lar with the new and frequently complex is- sues related to able -TV operations. In Pittsburgh, city offlcWs ran Into prob- lems even before the city decided to start the franchise process.
