being developed by Hy -Vee on Highway 1 North. Public hearing is set for
November 7, 4:30 p.m., Civic Center Conference Room. Alternative
locations for the tower site have been considered. Going to one of these
locations would mean a delay in time and service to the community.
Hawkeye office building plans have been finalized and bids are out.
It is believed the specific hub site location will be determined in
November of 1979.
Mr. Jim Cottingham is the new Western Operations Manager (the new
immediate supervisor of Mr. Blough). Mr. Van Volkenberg is now head of
construction in the region including Iowa City. It is hoped Iowa City
will be given top priority.
Local Origination Director for Hawkeye is Karen Kalergis. Starting date
is yet to be determined, but will start on part-time basis soon.
REPORT FROM SPECIALIST
Shaffer passed out 1979 Boards & Commissions Annual Report; City Council
March 1, 1980, that Hawkeye had started the necessary planning
memo sent out by specialist announcing new cable system activationdatedate of zoning an
process and that Hawkeye may hire their own construction crews d build
the Iowa City cable system; articles on the Madison, Wisconsin and
Spokane, Washington, City Goverment Access Channels,
Upon looking at the City Council memo Madson asked Blough if finding
construction crews was a big problem. Blough confirmed finding necessary
labor was a problem.
Specialist continued with report on progress of access rules and funding
Policies development. Since new activation date is March 1, 1980 it was
believed more time could be taken in deliberating these very important
foundations. Shaffer stated first draft of City Government Access Channel
Rules is completed and will ready for distribution by next BTC meeting.
Shaffer reported two books he is compiling for public access users will be
placed in pubic library within two weeks. Approximately 55 pages long,
each will contain essentials of video production (scripting, camera work,
microphone techniques, etc.), editing, engineering, video term
glossaries, etc.. The BTS Goals and Objectives will be completed by next
BTC meeting. Specialist is spending time researching two way cable
technology, visiting more community members and developing a survey for
City departments that will help determine the potential needs for and uses
of the City Government Access Channel. Specialist reported drafting an
introductory letter to be sent to many community organizations. Purpose
of letter is to initiate contact so presentation and visitation dates to
expand on public access channel and the applications and uses pertinent to
each organization and individual can be established.

BTC agreed this was worth while. Pepper asked if Local Origination
Director would be hired soon enough to participate in these presentations.
Blough indicated this might be possible.
BTS inquired if access equipment would arrive in December or January.
Blough indicated that was correct.
THE CONSIDERATION OF BTC GOALS AND OBJECTIVE
Moved by Terry, seconded by Eskin that BTC skip consideration of BTC Goals
and Objectives until next meeting and proceed to following item on agenda
because of time considerations. Unanimously approved, 5-0.
CHANNEL LINEUP
Specialist passed out original and proposed Hawkeye Cable channel
lineups. Pepper summarized changes in channel lineup. There have been a
snumber of channel location shifts. The real additions from the original
j channel lineup are: International News Service (Channel 3); a New York
1 Stock Exchange information service (Channel 8); a second HBO package of G
and PG movies called Take -Two (Channel 13); full-time WTBS Atlanta
(formerly WTCG night programming only, Channel 17); SPN (Satellite
Programming Network) with 100 hours a week of children's programming,
sports, entertainment, etc., (Channel 24); C -Span which is congressional
coverage (Channel 28); ESPN (Entertainment Sports Programming Network)
which is 24 hours a day of sports (Channel 22); Nickelodeon, a children's
programming package (Channel 34) and color bars have been added on Channel
35 for color home adjustment and system test purposes.
The service deletions consist of WSNS (Chicago, Channel 44) which is being
sold and turned into a pay movie channel; also KCCI and WHO from Des
Moines are deleted because the Hawkeye tower will not capable of picking
j up those signals.
Madson brought up that in order for cable TV to be financially successful
in Iowa City somthing like the White Sox (offered by WSNS) is necessary.
Blough agreed and stated all alternatives are being scrutinized to see if
Sox can be picked up any other way. In addition, other sports packages
1 such as ESPN are now being offered.
Madson asked if other changes might occur by the time the cable system is
activated. Blough stated other changes are possible.
Madson asked if two HBO package offerings is a usual occurance and if in
fact there are four leased access channels available as opposed to six
originally proposed. Blough said two HBO packages is unusual and is
currently being test marketed by ATC. Blough and Pepper also said if
additional channels become necessary some of the present service
offerings could be piggy backed to clear channel space.

Eskin asked if Hawkeye was still going to promote and support access as
they had professed at the franchising meetings. Blough and Dahm responded
that Hawkeye's support and promotion of access is and will be very
strong - and that is a guarantee from Slough.
Washburn asked for Shaffer's recommendations on proposed channel lineup.
Shaffer said the new lineup offers many additional services, and in fact
almost all available services obtainable at this time. In addition, all
access channels have been retained and remain intact, which is also an
important consideration. In all it is a channel lineup to be commended.
Terry moved and Madson seconded that the proposed Hawkeye channel lineup
be endorsed by the BTC. Uanimously endorsed, 5-0.
NEW BUSINESS
Terry asked if the BTC should attempt to let Board of Adjustments (board
considering Hawkeyes "exception" for tower sight) know what the BTC has
found out so all considerations could be weighed by the Board of
Adjustments. Each Commission member stated their feelings on this matter.
It was a letter which
would bed circulated t ecidea call BTC members.
ommittee would bePepper appointedformed to tMadson and Es kin
to the subcommittee. An agreed upon copy will be sent to Chairperson of
Board of Adjustments and to Mr. Boothroy. Eskin and Madson will attend
i Board of Adjustment public hearing November 7th.
Terry asked if landlords would be contacted before their buildings would
be wired with cable. Slough and Dahm said there would have to be a signed
contract for each apartment building before they are wired. Slough said
landlords will probably be charged for pre -wiring and the $15 installation
fee would be charged to tenant.
It was proposed this discussion be continued at next meeting.
Next BTC meeting is Tuesday, November 20th, 4:30 p.m. in the Civic Center
Conference Room.

Committee members were particularly concerned that the Code continue to be enforced
equitably. They suggested that where home owners (such as at 912 E. Davenport or
410 Madison) were unwilling to communicate with City officials, an effort should
be made to get personal contacts through the Council on Aging or friends of the
person concerned. The Committee also felt that it was important to continue the
systematic Housing Code Enforcement program if possible, after CDBC funding for the
program ends June 30, 1980.

Blum opened the floor for discussion from the audience.
Bud Gode, 918 Estron Street, indicated that he was under the impression that staff
had okayed the drainage problem in the area and the filling of the ditch. He
explained that upon talking with the Director of Public Works and the City Engineer
he found that neither of them were aware of this recommendation. He further indicated
that he thought that a private developer had already purchased this land but had been
unable to determine the name of the developer.
Jakobsen explained that the ditch was not on the property at all. Boothroy further
explained that staff has suggested that the City take special care regarding the
drainage problem and that some improvements would be done. He also explained that
the City has an option to purchase this property and is requesting the rezoning.
Blum indicated that the agreement between University Baptist Church and the City
states that the purchaser is to seek the rezoning and that if the rezoning is denied
the City will not have an interest in the property.
Mr. Gode further explained that he felt that this area of the City has already
absorbed its share of low income housing and feels that it should be spread
throughout the City and not concentrated in one area.
Valda Gebhart, 8 Westgate Circle, presented a petition and photos of the area showing
the density of the area, as well as the children playing and the parking problem.
She asked that these photos be made a part of the record along with the petition.
(Petition attached, photos on file in the Department of Planning B Program Development.)
Paul Hoherz, Wheaton Road, presented a petition, duly notarized, from the adjacent
property owners who are against the rezoning. In answer to his questions about the
differences in density of various zones, Commissioners explained that an area is not
always developed at the highest density that is allowed but is at a lower density
much of the time. Mr. Hoherz also asked why the request for rezoning in 1972 was
turned down. Blum stated that the request was withdrawn by the applicant but that
staff had at that time also recommended approval of the rezoning. Another concern
raised by Mr. Hoherz was the major sewer line running northeast to southwest through
the property. Mr. Seydel, Housing Coordinator, explained that there is a 1211 sewer
on the property but that the property was still developable with open space and
parking planned for this area. (Petition filed in City Clerk's Office 11/5/79, copy
attached.)
Lyle Seydel, Housing Coordinator, stated that he would like to speak first as 11
private citizen. He stated that he felt that the City has a great responsibility
on its shoulders and that we cannot allow agricultural land to become residential.
He also stated that he felt that we are going to have to learn to live closer
together and to share common areas. As a City staff member, he stated that he felt
that the rezoning request was logical and sensible.
Ms. Gebhart stated that she understood the need for conserving our resources but
asked why this particular area was being asked to allow more development. She
felt that some other area that was not as densely populated should be considered.
Jean Myers, 4 Westgate, stated that hers would be the first basement to fill with
water if further development occurs.

Kammermeyer stated that he would probably vote against the rezoning because he
felt there was no guarantee that the City plan and public housing will come to
completion. He further stated that if the City plan fails it is reasonable to
think that a private developer would not have to meet the requirements for storm
water management.
Blum explained that he didn't see any evidence that the Comprehensive Plan was
in error regarding this area. He further explained that he didn1t see any better
alternative than the R3 zoning but that he didn't like the context in which it
is being sought. lie asked if there was any way to request that the City get
together with the land owners and come back with a plan that would allow the
Commission to review the solutions of the problems (drainage, traffic).
He also asked about the possibility of an agreement by which the whole parcel is
rezoned with an easement for the church.
After some further discussion, Blum called for approval of the rezoning of the north
181 feet of a parcel of land located at the northeast corner of the intersection
of West Benton Street and Westgate Street from R1A to R3. The rezoning was denied
by a vote of 0-5 (with all Commissioners voting against).
Jakobsen asked that the minutes show that there was great concern -about the water
Problems. Blum stated that he would have preferred to make an effort to resolve
the concerns of the Commissioners rather than to send a negative vote to Council,
Blum explained to the audience that the denial of the rezoning by the Commission
would require an extraordinary majority of the City Council for rezoning,
Blum stated that he would like to respond to a letter to the Editor which appeared
in the Press Citizen regarding the roll of the planning staff and the Planning and
Zoning Commission. He explained that the planning staff has been working on the
new zoning ordinance and that the Planning and Zoning Commission has Caen meeting
regularly in order to review sections as they are written (this was in contradiction
to the statement relating to the fact that the staff has done nothing on the now
zoning ordinance in the lh years since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan), Ile
further explained that the last vacancy on the Commission had to be advertised twice
before it was filled (this was also in conflict to the statement relating to the
reappointment of Commissioners and the lack of appointment of new people to the
Commission).
Blum then turned the meeting back over to Vice Chairperson Jakobsen who presided at
the remainder of the meeting,
Public discussion of an ordinance amending Sections 8.10.3A.8, .47 and 8.10.8.1E,
and adding Sections 8.10.3A.64C and 8.10.8.4 to Appendix A of the Code of Ordinances
of Iowa City, Iowa, providing a definition for Rooming House and regulating its
permitted use.
A new draft of this amendment was distributed to the Commissioners. It was the
consensus of the Commission that action on this item be deferred until the next meeting.

1. Employees who voluntarily terminate employment with the City may
within one year of termination request reinstatement to a position
held prior to the date voluntary termination became effective.
2. The requesting former employee shall submit request to the
appropriate appointing authority (not to the Civil Service
Commission) for consideration provided:
a. That a vacancy exists. A position is considered vacant if no
one is currently serving in it and/or the position is vacated
due to resignation, termination or other like actions. Vacancy
does not include situations where the person occupying the
position in question is on vacation or temporary leave of
absence and other similar situations.
b. That termination was not imposed for disciplinary purposes.
C. That job performance at the time of termination was
satisfactory and an initial 12 month probationary period had
been completed.
jd. That qualifications required in the position have not changed
since the employee's separation.
I
i e. That no preferred lists exist for the position.
In no instance shall the appointing authority be required to i
reinstate a former employee under this provision.
I
If a reinstatement is affected pursuant to this provision, such employee
shall be considered a new employee for the purpose of seniority, benefits, j
salary, longevity, pension benefits and all other matters pertaining to
employment.
This policy is effective for employees whose effective date of termination
is October 1, 1978 and thereafter.
Implementation/procedural policy:
1. An employee requesting reinstatement is not put onto a Civil Service
list.
2. Entry level reinstatement -- returnee takes precedence over a
certified list.
3. Promotional position reinstatement -- reinstatement shall not be
considered at the promotional level. A former employee who held a

Selection of l:nLry-1•avvl Firefighters --A Progress Report
,lane E. Anderson, Ph.D.
Civil Service Commission
The Civil Service Commission and the Director of Personnel for Iowa
City have been working on a program to improve the quality of the procedure
for selecting entry-level firefighters. What follows is a progress report
of these efforts.
For the past several years, the Commission has relied upon the entry-
level test battery administered by the Fire Service Extension of Iowa State
University, This test battery has several shortcomings. First of all, the
Extension reports only one score for each candidate, a rank score derived from
a group intelligence test, a seldom -used personality test, and an analysis of
the applicant's answers to the question, "Why do you want to be a firefighter?"
Secondly, personality test responses of individuals obtaining an LQ score over
100 are analyzed differently from those scoring under 100, with the former
group considered "officer material." We were concerned about this simplistic
strategy of combining intelligence and personality measures, especially In
Iowa City where the average measured intelligence of our firefighter applicants
is considerably above that of most departments. A third reason for our concern
is that the test battery has not been revised since 1957 and thus, does not
reflect the many advances in testing and personnel selection made since that
time, Adequate validity data for the test battery have not been available.
In an attempt to update entry-level testing procedures, a Basic Flrefli;hlor
examination supplied by the International Personnel Management Association was
used for the first time in July, 1979. This test was designed to measure areas
such as verbal and mechanical reasoning, mechanical, and spntfal aptitude,and
others thought to be directly related to success is a firefighter. In addition,
applicants completed the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (iIPddf :;
paper -pencil personality test. Test protocols were analyzed confidentially by
Dr. Jacob 0. Sines, Professor, Department of Psychology at the University of
Iowa, and an internationally recognized expert in the use of the I,MPI. The
101PI has been used for selection of entry-level police officers for some time.
After a promising first venture with the IPMA Basic Firefighter test, the
Commission and Director of Personnel enlisted the help of firefighters already
members of tine Iowa City Fire Department to obtain local cross -validation data
for the test. In late July, under the director of the ICFD Training Officer,
a total of 24 volunteers, eight from each of the three shifts, took the enir-
level test. Volunteers ranged from first-year y
staff. rookies to members of tileannnunul
Because of their training and their experience on the ,job, we epecta,d Lh;,L
the ICFD firefighters would earn higher scores on the test than new appllraots.
This expectation was confirmed. As indicated in Table One, the mean or nvr:ragrt
score for seasoned firefighters was 61, eight points higher than the mean of
53 for new applicants. The median score (the middle value In the group of
scores) was 51 for the veterans and 55 for the applicants. ICI?D nr•orrn r:upp•al
from 44 to 74 points out of a possible total of 84 points, whereas Lha Tango
for the applicants was much broader, from 29 to 75.

In Table Two are listed the rankH and HeorcH fir enrh group. The two
applicants who obtained the highest seuris were Individuals who were experienced
firefighters from other departments. Among the applicants, it appears that
experience counts in terms of doing well on the entry test.
We were also interested in whether or not ICFD firefighters with more
experience would do better on the test than those with less experience. We
were unable to examine the experience factor within the ICFD because several
firefighters chose not to indicate the number of years they had been in service.
Perhaps in subsequent testing, it will be possible to examine the impact of
experience on performance as a firefighter, as measured by this kind of test.
In general, w: are optimistic about the face validity of the new exam In
predicting which applicants have abilities that will be relevant to their per-
formance as firefighters. This test, used in conjunction with the INN, seems
to provide us with information much more pertinent to an applicant's subsequent
success than the so-called Ames test battery.
We are very grateful to the 24 firefighters who devoted their time and
energies to taking the IPMA test, and we appreciate their willingness to
participate in the process of upgrading our selection procedures.

Dear Members of City Council,
As a resident of Denbigh Drive, I applaud the efforts of
the city to provide good bus service to our area. Since the
j Mark IV route changes were implemented this August, I have
ridden the bus to and from the University of Iowa Law School
where I am a student am average of four days a week. I am
lightenvery grateful
urhchance
theloadontheMelrose/Grand/Butlihome,
ngtonbottleneck,
i and to free another parking space for a long-distance com-
muter.
I am ver hayohave the bus
wn m
street as frequentlyasitdoes. Such rregularuserviceanois an
encouragement to those of us who have to maintain flexibility
when juggling family obligations and class schedules.
Although the pressures on the bus system are increasing
as winter approaches, I look formard to being able to utilize
the service throughout the coming months.
My daughter has also become a regular bus rider, which
is a tremendous advantage for a child who likes to participate
in after-school and week -end activities such as piano lessons,
ballet classes, and the theater group. She has also been en-
couraged to use the Public Library on her own, without having
I to wait until I am able to transport her there and back.
Thank you for providing the Mark IV bus service on
Denbigh Drive, so that our whole family can enjoy Iowa City
in an energy -conscious time.
Sincerely,
Theresa Semel

Iowa City City Council
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear City Council:
I read in today's DAILY IOWAN yet another account of
people on Denbigh Drive complaining about the Mark IV bus
which drives down this street.
The all -residential, rapidly expanding southwest section
of the city obviously needs bus service. West Benton Street
is a good ways north of Denbigh --and even farther away from the
brand new streets south of Denbigh: if bus service were confined
exclusively to West Benton, this would entail either a consid-
erable hardship for residents of these
able loss of ridershi parts or a wasteful
use which neither Iowa City, the unatio the wasteful use of
particularly needs or desires. or the world economy
Although I have read and have heard that Denbigh residents
were upset about the bus going down the street, I have not
yet seen a credible explanation of what exactly is the problem.
The street is relatively deserted --even of little kids (of
whom I have two), The street will be even more deserted when
the winter sets in. Methinks most of the gripes stem from some
residents' violated aesthetic sensibilities: the sight abd
sound of a bus do seem strange on a residential street.
i
I I don't see* any reason to give weight to the complaints
I of the anti -bus people. I'd have a certain a>houht of sympathy
for their objections if I knew that they were regular bus riders
who were themselves willing to walk a half mile to catch the bus.
But more than likely, they're not bus riders. They are volunteering
others to hike for the bus. Or, content to waste fuel themselves,
they would like the rest of us to join them.
Please maintain the Mark IV bus service down Denbigh Drive.
Many, many residents depend on it.
S' cerre^ly,
Y Semel

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Semel and Diana:
Thank you for your recent letters, in which you expressed your interest
in the Mark IV route remaining on Denbigh Drive. I especially appreciated
the letter from Diana, with its accompanying limerick and picture.
As was noted in one of the letters, there have been a number of residents
on Denbigh Drive who have expressed their opinion that City buses should
not be routed over their residential street. In an effort to reach a
compromise, the City's transit staff is currently studying possible
route revisions that would still retain bus service south of West Benton
Street yet minimize the inconvenience to those residents along Denbigh
Drive. A proposal containing the transit manager's recommendation will
be forwarded to the City Council before the end of the month.
Again, thank you all for taking the time to provide your input. We
appreciate your interest in the transit system and encourage your continued
patronage.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Sirs and Madames,
Iam writing protesting the possible closing of
the Denbigh Dr./dark IV bus route. It is a big help for
my family because both my parents take it in the morning
and I take it for after - school activities.
I have made up a limmerick to show my view of

That rolls right past my door,

Dear Mr. Blum:
The City Council, as the Public Housing Authority, is having
difficulty selecting appropriate sites for public housing. Because
of the recent recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission
regarding property located on Westgate Street, the Council requests
that the Commission provide criteria which can be used in evaluating
these sites. The relationship of these sites to the Comprehensive
Plan is also an important consideration.
The Commission's assistance in the above matter will be greatly

ANALYSIS
The subject request. is a referral by the City Council to the Planning and Toning
Commission. If approved, it is then Lhe Council's intent to consider Incatinil
up to 20 side-by-Jde (o.g., Lownhnur.w.) unil.s of public: housing on the 1.39
acre parcel. the development. would be n1. a density of 14 dwelling unit, per
acre. Ihis is the maximum densiLy permil.l.ed under the requesLed R3 zoning.
A development density of between B to 16 dwelling units per acre is designated
for this area by the City's Comprehensive Plan and intended to be zoned to
permit medium density single family and low density multi -family residential
uses. The density and type of uses being considered by the City is consistent
with the designation of the Comprehensive Plan.
The existing infrastructure is adequate to serve the needs of up to 16 dwelling
units per acre. The property fronts Westgate Street, a collector street, which
is constructed to a pavement width of 36 feet. This width provides parking on
both sides and two traffic lanes. Adequate sewer and water service are
available. Horn Elementary School has capacity to accommodate the additional
students generated by this development.
Until the new Zoning Ordinance is adopted, there are only two zones R2 and R3,
which can be applied to implement the Comprehensive Plan. However, a reasonable
return on the property cannot be expected of zones R2 or higher (more
restrictive zones) because the development costs of the property would exceed.
tlir market value. Even though the allowable density of development for R2 and
R3 is the same, an important distinction in terms of development costs result.
If developed under an RI or R2 zoning classification, each building must be
located on its own lot; however, under an R3 zone more than one building may be
located on a lot as long as the buildings are separated by a horizontal distance
that is equal to the height of the highest building. In this case, the property
could be developed under R2 zoning one of two ways: three platted lots fronting
Westgate Street (six duplex units) or provision of a street and five lots (ten
duplex units). Because the parcel is less than two acres, the use of a Planned
Area Development Plan for provision of private streets is not an alternative.
R3 zoning provides the owner the flexibility of developing his property to a
higher density without the expense of providing a public street.
The subject rezoning would allow uses which are not incompatible with adjacent
uses. Multi -family uses are located both to the north and to the east, private
open space opposes the subject property across Westgate Street to the west and a
church is located to the south. The predominant use fronting Westgate Street is
duplex with the exception being Westgate Circle where two single family
dwellings face the church across Westgate Street. All of these existing uses
were developed in an area which was zoned R3. What impacts (environmental and
economic) a multi -family development would have on existing single family homes
and duplexes in the area would have resulted at the time the area was zoned R3
and from existing or subsequent high density development to the north. It is
difficult to substantiate that an additional 14 units than permitted under
present zoning (R1A) would impair the value of adjacent property. The value of
the property is adversely affected if there results economic depreciation which
is a decrease in the market value of property from factors (one of which is the
use of adjacent land) outside the control of the property owner.

RECOMMENDATION
Should the City resolve to rezone the area from NIA to U and develop the site for
public housing, every attempt should be made to minimize storm water runoff and
establish a review process to allow as much input as possible from adjacent
property owners in the development of the site in question.

Dear Council Member:
The Planning and 7oning Commission has ruled in a unanimous decision not to rezone
the above mentioned property. Since it is their position to be your advisory
commission and to render to you their expert opinion, the unanimous decision
against rezoning in itself defines the situation.
However, should you wish to know the community viewpoint, which was strongly
against rezoning, I will inform you of our feelings. In the records from the
Planning and Zoning Commission you will find several photographs to show you
the density about which we are concerned and in addition to the ,special majority"
petition is the beginings of a planned petition campaign which was halted upon
the satisfactory ruling of the Planning and 7oning Commission. But even this
small census ran 99% against rezoning and should give you an idea of the solidarity
of the community against the rezoning.
Rezoning should not be considered lightly and should only be done if it serves the
best interests of the community at large. This most definitely is not the case in
this situation. Already this area has been allowed to grow in an uncontrolled
fashion of solid apartment buildings. This violates all the principles of good
city planning which requires a balance in neighborhoods. Currently we have an
area of 2 blocks by 5 or o blocks of solid apartment complexest This heavy
density has had great repercussions on our neighborhood. Among our concerns are:
j 1. There continues to be great westward growth in Iowa City which has caused
over -crowding at Horn School. This is a natural expansion and cannot be
avoided. To purposely crowd from within is unreasonable. Horn already
expanded for the second time just 12 years ago and again it is facing the
prospect of overcrowding. Children living on Jessup Court which is within
walking distance to Horn are bused to Coralville. Such are the results of
{
unbalanced density.
2. With this density comes the problem of parking. Although the apartments
supply off-street parking, the street is nevertheless congested with on -
street parking. The problem on Westgate Street becomes severe in winter
due to snow and the great incline of the street which severely hampers
passing ability. The problem will be even greater this year since Westgate
Street has become a bus route.
3. With this density comes the additional problem of noise and an adequate area
for children to play without being sent into the parking lots as now occurs
at the apartment buildings. This does not allow tranquility for the residents
nor safety for the children.
* 4. The major concern however is the increased wafer problem we would have with
Willow Creek which runs along the property in question and borders our house
along with many others along the way. Each additional building project on

Westgate Street has further increased the flow of the creek. During rainstorms
the viaducts under West Benton and estgate Streets are inadequate to handlethe
flow and consequently the water backs up in swirling motion flooding our yards,
and eroding our property. The creek seems innocuous on dry days but during rain

The oropaed area is a virtual watershed which has a crest on the southern part
of the p:•operty and then drops off to the creek. Yater falls down that crest
in sheets but is presently detained somewhat by the underbrush and trees in that
area. To put un density housing there would decrease the absorbability of the
land and this would further threaten our property. Unless the water is channeled
completely away from the creek the already inadequate situation will become worse.
Ultimately some action will be required to fortify the creek boundaries or widen
the viaducts under the street. We cannot be placated by statments that are to
assure us that this flooding problem can be avoided because our experience in
this area over the years has proven otherwise,
e
As Ralston Creek should have demonstrated, the time to act is while one can still
prevent poor Planning ideas rather than allow these acts to have a damaging effect
on an entire community and then try to adjust things later.
I
To address the matter of public housing in particular, I would like to point out
that the City has complete control in this choice and the action it suggests is
most unwise. The city has been given a number of units for which it is seeking
locations. By all good practices of city planning these units should be evenly
distributed throughout the city. There are many school districts with declinng
enrollment and these are the areas to concentrate on when choosing locations for
public housing. To virtually "squeeze" this housing into a school district that
is threatened with overcrowding shows very poor judgement indeed.
Even the desired aspect of even distribution is not met since we already have a
massive {public housing project just blocks away from the site now proposed _ this
is Mark N.
IAs I have mentioned, your advisory commission took these points into consideration
and unanimously voted against rezoning. I feel assured you will agree with their
expert opinion and rule against rezoning.
Thank you.

MEMORANDUM
Date: November 8, 1979
To: City Council
From: Neal G. Berlin, City Manager
Re: Parking Garages
There are several aspects of the block 64 parking garage that need to be
answered at this point. These are:
1. Will the first parking garage to partially open by Thanksgiving?
2. Are there any changes that can be made in the block 64 garage to
reduce cost?
3. How many stalls will be lost from the existing surface lot south of
Penney's and how many will be gained in the first parking garage?
4. Why build work space for Parking Systems in the new garage?
5. Why did the construction bids come in over the estimate?
6. What are the details of the financing and operation of the new
parking garages?
1. Question: Will the first parking garage be partially open by
Thanksgiving?
Answer: Yes, if little or no precipitation occurs from November 13
through November 16 when the deck is sealed.
2. Question: Are there any changes that can be made in the block 64
garage to reduce cost?
Answer: There are several steps that can be taken by the City to'
reduce costs. Approximately $30,000 to $35,000 can be deducted by
using an alternate foundation system. This deduct depends upon
testing of an alternate foundation system. Another option is to
eliminate the top tier of the parking garage. While this would
reduce absolute cost, the spaces are needed and they would only
increase in price in the future. This is not recommended. The
contractor has suggested some alternates which will reduce cost.
These include sandblasting in place ($55,000), removing brick from
stair towers ($20,000), and not rehabilitating the parking lot on the
north side of the second ramp ($5,500).
Other costs may be saved by removing the sprinkling system from the
garage and eliminating the south stair tower.

The code review of the second parking garage indicates that under
current codes, three stair towers would be needed and the lower level
would need to be sprinkler and power ventilated. By adopting certain
provisions of the 1979 building code and by administrative action,
the City can eliminate the south stair tower and all sprinkling in
the lower level. Elimination of the south stair tower will reduce
the cost by $62,000 and elimination of sprinkling will save approxi-
mately $16,000. It is the consensus of the staff that the power
ventilation should remain as a backup system even though natural air
ventilation will theoretically keep the air clean in the lower level.
In summary, the staff recommends elimination of the south stair
tower, elimination of the sprinklers, retention of the ventilation
system, and adoption of all contractor suggestions for reducing the
cost including sandblasting on-site, removal of brick from the stair
towers, and no rehabilitation of the parking lot on the north side of
the lot. This will save approximately $158,500.
3. Question: How many stalls will be lost from the existing surface lot
south of Penney's and how many will be gained in the first parking
garage?
Answer: Construction of the second parking garage will remove 144
spaces from the large City lot. Partial opening of the first garage
will provide 233 spaces immediately. If favorable weather
continues, additional parking spaces can be provided in the upcoming
weeks in the first parking garage. If abnormally cold temperatures
occur, however, additional spaces will not be available. The key
element is sealing of the deck. There are certain temperature
requirements which must be met to ensure that the contractor will
provide a five year guarantee on the sealing and caulking system.
4. Question: Why build work space for parking systems in the new
garage?
Answer: The Parking Systems Division presently operates 739 off-
street parking spaces and has 11 employees. Upon completion of both
garages the City will operate 1,789 off-street parking spaces and
have 17 full-time employees and 6 part-time employees.
The City of Iowa City must do exactly what private industry does when
there is a quantum leap in the product produced or the service
rendered. In order to operate the system right, the essential
elements of the system must be increased. In this case the essential
element is people. Almost everything the City supplies to its
citizens can be classified as a "service". ServiFe industries are
labor intensive and the City is no different. Work and office space
in the garage will be advantageous because of the location near the.
center 'of activity of the parking system in addition to providing
increased accessibility to the public. As the total parking system
is practically doubled, this space will provide the needed
additional space for operations and storage needs.

In the second parking garage there is a large protected space that
can be converted into work space for a cost of $50,000. Since the
space available is 2,500 square feet this works out to a cost of $20
per square foot for completely finished, heated enclosed space. The
space is absolutely needed and the cost is a bargain. Staff
recommends that this space be finished and used.
5. Question: Why did the construction bids come in over the estimate?
Answer: The cost estimate for the second parking garage was
$2,068,000. This $2,068,000 was a cost estimate for a precast
(precast means that the concrete members are made out of town and
trucked in) structure. Knutson's base bid for a precast structure
was $2,887,000.
The idem representing almost half of the difference between the
estimate and the bid price was precast concrete. The unit cost for
the estimate was $8.27 per square foot of supported structure. The
actual bid cost was $11.18, indicating an excessive incEza�,t in
precast concrete costs. This fact has been reflected in other
projects bid recently by Carl Walker and Associates and post
tensioning (post tension means that all of the structure is built on
the site in Iowa City and the members are tensioned on site) has
become less expensive each bid when compared with precast concrete.
Precast concrete product prices have been accelerating in recent
years far in excess of other structural systems. The $3.00 per
square foot difference for the 110,000 square feet of supported
precast structure is $330,000 out of the total cost difference.
The plans and specifications also required each contractor to submit
a price for building the garage as a post tension structure. Knutson
gave us a deduct of $170,000 for the post tension structure. This
would still be above the City's estimate. This high bid price
represents the large jump in concrete costs anticipated in January,
1980.
Earth work costs exceeded the estimate primarily because of the
additional work to rehabilitate the parking lot and Dubuque Street
because the first level of the garage is below grade. Rehabilitation
costs on Dubuque Street were not known nor figured into the estimate
in May of 1979.
The piling costs also appear high. There is little competition in
the piling market. In addition, the contract plans included extra
length piling. The City should realize the savings of $30,000 on
this phase of the work if the actual length of piling installed is
not as high as the plans show. The second parking garage site has a
dense sand layer on a portion of the site and this made it difficult
to estimate piling.

There are many other factors than cannot be put into numbers. Such
factors as the amount of work in the Iowa City area, regional
factors, concern over interest and inflation rates, etc., have all
influenced costs so that the bid was above that anticipated. As with
the first ramp, there will be an opportunity to work with the
contractor on areas that can be changed and/or omitted.
In summary, the cost estimate was prepared by using the bid costs on
the first parking garage. These costs were updated to May, 1979
using a cost figure of 3/4 percent per month inflation factor. In
reality, the City bid the garage in September, 1979 and our
consultant calculates that inflation in this industry was actually
running at 1.35 percent per month. The City is bidding a major
construction project in a highly inflationary, unstable market.
These market conditions have existed for the last several months and
it appears that the conditions will continue into the indefinite
future.
6. Question: What are the details of the financing and operation of the
new parking garages?
Answer: The attached schedule shows cost estimates for the
construction of both garages and the funding availability. The
construction cost used for the Block 64 garage is $2,655,000 with a
resulting total cost projection for both garages of $6,898,243.
Possible additional deduct items on the Block 64 garage could reduce
total costs by $100,000. A contingency of $150,000 was added for the
completion of both garages. Thus, total project cost was projected
at $6,948,243. Of this amount, $1,200,148 was paid out as of
June 30, 1979, leaving a remaining cost to be paid of $5,748,095.
The funds available for financing of this project are the fund
balance of the Parking Revenue Fund (accumulation of prior years
revenues from the Parking Systems) and the fund balance of the
Capitol Project Fund (revenue bond proceeds and interest from the
temporary investment of bond proceeds). In the Parking Revenue Fund,
the net income for FY80 is projected at $305,225. This is higher
than usual as only a portion of the year's debt service costs
(principal and interest payments on the revenue bonds) is being paid
from operations; the bond proceeds included capitalized interest for
the 15 month period which ends March 1, 1980, so operations must fund
interest only from March 1, 1980 thru June 30, 1980. Adding the June
30, 1979, fund balance to the net income for FY80 results in
available funds of $1,829,013.
The available fund balance in the Capital Project Fund will be kept
invested throughout the construction period of the entire project
and it is projected that an additional $325,000 in interest income
will be earned. The interest added to the fund balance at June 30,
1979, results in total funds of of $3,899,534. Thus, total funding
availability in these two funds is $5,728,547. This amount is
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1101RE5
approximately $20,000 short of the total remaining costs to be
funded.
The shortage could be covered in several different ways. As discussed
above, it is possible that an additional $30,000 deduct could occur
on the second garage if piling tests indicate some modifications
could be made. A contingency of $150,000 was added to total costs.
Any portion of this which is not needed will be an equal reduction to
total costs.
A final source of additional funding could be the use of the revenue
from the $2.00 parking fine. You may remember that the decision was
made prior to marketing the bonds that all $2.00 parking fines would
be receipted into the Parking Revenue Fund in order to put total
revenue at a level which provides an acceptable bond coverage factor
for bondholders. These receipts were needed only to increase total
revenue but are not needed to fund the annual operation of the
Parking System. Therefore, the intent was to, at year end, tran4fer
to the General Fund the amount of the parking fines collected; this
would then be used for General Fund operations as it has been in past
years. This amounts to approximately $100,000 per year and all or a
portion could be used for construction costs if needed. If this was
done, a transfer could be made to the General Fund at a later date as
it is projected that an excess fund balance will become available in
the Parking Revenue Fund once both ramps are in operation. Although
this would cause a temporary reduction to the General fund balance,
the transfer would probably be made within a two year period.
The initial opening of a portion of the first garage is planned for
November 23, 1979, the day after Thanksgiving. The entrance and exit
will be located on the Clinton Street side. There will be a ticket-
spitter at the entrance and an attendant on duty at the exit. This
configuration will allow sufficient coverage for the initial 233
spaces and up to 200 additional spaces with only one attendant on
duty.
There will be a charge for parking from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday. In order to keep staffing levels and costs
down, the attendant will be on duty until 7:30 p.m. to collect from
those who entered the ramp prior to 5:00 p.m. and owe for parking,
This will eliminate the need for yellow billing envelopes being
issued at 5:00 p.m. to all vehicles still in the garage. Additional
staff would be needed in order to issue the envelopes as is now done
in the Penney's lot since total attendant parking spaces will be
increased. Also, the presence of an attendant would provide
additional security in the garage in the early evening hours.
It is proposed that the rate charged in the garage be the same iv.
that now charged in the Penney's lot which is fifteen cents per hour
or $2.50 for three or more hours. Council has already set by
resolution the hourly rate of twenty-five cents per hour for the
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS•DES t10111ES
garage and on January 1, 1980, the rates in both the garage and the
Penney's lot will be increased to twenty-five cents per hour with no
penalty for parking longer than three hours. The lower rate
initially will provide an incentive to shoppers during the Christmas
shopping season and compensate for inconveniences in the unfinished
garage (i.e., no elevators).
In order to encourage use and acquaint the public with the garage,
free parking will be allowed in the garage November 23 and 24 (Friday
and Saturday). In addition, the City will not charge for evening
parking in the garage until total construction is completed. Since
November 23 and December 24 are City holidays, all on -street and off-
street parking wi11 also be free of charge on those days. It wi11 b2
up to the merchants to keep their employees out of the downtown
parking spaces on those dates so that the parking is available to the
shopper.
Also, merchants will be encouraged to promote the Park and Shop
program. Currently, the program is ineffective as shoppers must take
the initiative and ask for the coupons, shoppers are not kept
informed as to which merchants are participating in the program, and
the procedures used by some merchants make the hassle of getting the
coupon not worth the effort. Other municipalities' experience with
this type of program show that it can be very effective in attracting
the shopper to a downtown area if it is promoted and supported by the
merchants. The City also gives the shopper, who stays over three
hourss a break if they have enough Park and Shop coupons to reduce
their total parking to under three hours as then the $2.50 fee is not
charged (i. e., a shopper who parks in the lot for five hours and had
three Park and Shop coupons would be charged for only two hours or
thirty cents). Since the three hour limit was intended to keep out
all -day parkers, the use of Park and Shop coupons does allow shoppers
to park in the lot for longer than three hours without having to pay
the penalty fee of $2.50.
Security will be a major factor in the success of both garages. Many
people in the community may have the preconceived idea that it will
not be safe to use the garages, especially after dark. We must
provide these people with a visible form of security to dispel these
feelings and assure them that the garages are as safe as other areas
of the City. Police officers would provide the best security for the
parking garage. They would be the best trained and equipped, and
their presence alone has a very stabilizing effect on nighttime
activities. The major problem with police officers is that we cannot
be guaranteeed of their presence during the entire night. Other
activities could, at times, take precedence over ramp security, thus
leaving the garage without security. The major drawback to the
Parking Systems' hiring of security guards is that it would require
additional personnel to cover days off, vacation, sick leave, etc.
The additional manpower costs would offset any advantages.

Therefore, it is proposed that the City contract with a private security
corporation which can supply trained personnel to patrol the garage 365
days per year. This would guarantee us someone patrolling the garage
during all hours we deem necessary and cost less than the other two
options. The City would also have the authority to approve or disapprove
any security personnel employed in the patrolling of the ramp.

At this time light fixtures will be installed and operational, however, the
elevator, stair towers, and interior stairs will NOT be available for use.

MEMORANDUM
Date: November 13, 1979
To: City Manager and City Council
From: Neal Id Berlin, City Manager
Re: Block 64 Parking Ramp
The following information is presented to you for consideration at
tonight's Council meeting:
1. It appears that if the parking ramp construction cannot begin in
November, the project must be rebid. Therefore, anticipating a
construction start of April 1, 1980, at an inflationary rate of 1.35%
per month, it can be anticipated that the additional cost due to
inflation for the four month period would amount to $143,000. The
start date of April 1 was used as it is unlikely that a contractor
would want to start in January when there is frost in the ground to a
depth of 4 to 5 feet.
2. In projecting how an increase in the hourly parking rate would affect
revenue, computations show the following. The current proposal is to
leave the rate at fifteen cents per hour through December 31, 1979
with an increase to twenty-five cents per hour starting January 1,
1980. If the rate was increased to twenty-five cents per hour
starting December 1, 1979, this would amount to additional revenue of
$10,000. If the rate effective December 1, 1979 was thirty cents per
hour, this would amount to additional revenue of $32,000. If the
rate December 1 was set at thirty-five cents per hour, an additional
$54,000 would occur. These computations were based on revenue
projections through December 31, 1980. As you can see, even thirty-
five cents per hour would not bring in enough additional revenue to
cover an additional $143,000 in cost.
3. The attached schedule shows the number of spaces available in the
downtown area. Yesterday it was said that the Washington lot (corner
of Washington & Clinton) contained 300 spaces whereas it actually
contained only 150 spaces. This results in a total of approximately
650 spaces in this area being available during the last Christmas
shopping season. This year if we don't start construction on the
Block 64 ramp, approximately 533 spaces will be available, while if
we do start construction during November, only 373 spaces would be
available. It is necessary to also consider what the parking
situation will be for the Christmas shopping season in 1980 if
construction on the second ramp is delayed. For that shopping season
there will be only the parking ramp available which consists of 900
spaces. If the second ramp construction is begun in November of this
year, it might be completed prior to next year's shopping season and
this would mean that a total of 1,350 spaces would be available.
Right now Old Capitol is projecting that their mall will open in
October of 1980 and this will place a substantial additional demand
��3 a
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140111Es
on the CBD for parking spaces. It is questionable whether the 900
spaces in the first ramp will be sufficient for the Old Capitol Mall
and the current retail in the CBD. Therefore, it looks like we are
either looking at a shortage of 300 parking spaces this year or a
shortage of 450 parking spaces next year.
In going back and looking at the parking patterns from the last
couple of years, we have noted that typically there is a significant
decrease in paid parking in the CBD between the months of November
and December. Our records show that typically December parking in
the CBD lots has been 35 percent less than November. At the same
time the municipal lot shows an increase from November to December of
approximately 10 percent. This shows that the parking demand does go
down during the month of December and we can only assume that this is
due to the fact that the students leave on vacation in the second
week of December, thus freeing up a lot of parking spaces downtown
which are normally used by students attending classes.
5. Our records show that 100 percent occupancy does not occur in the
Central Business District lots. They show approximately 80 to 85
percent occupancy in the Iowa Avenue lot and the Library lot in the
months of November and December. In addition, the old post office
lot occupancy is approximately 35 percent. This shows that there is
additional parking available in these lots during the Christmas
shopping season. Part of the problem is that this parking is not
located centrally in the Central Business District and that
customers do not want to walk very far to their final destination.
Last year we did publicize the availability of these lots during the
Christmas season and there was no reason for shoppers to be unaware
of their existence. In addition, following the rate increase early
this calendar year, we have noted an increase in parking in the lots
outside the CBD with a corresponding decrease in parking in the lots
inside the CBD. This is very probably due to the fact that the
hourly rate in the outside lots is ten cents per hour while the CBD
lots have a rate of twenty cents per hour. This should also provide
additional parking in the CBD for shoppers during the Christmas
shopping season.
6. It should also be pointed out that because of City holidays there
will be free parking on the two largest shopping days during the
Christmas shopping season. Those are the day after Thanksgiving,
November 23, and the day before Christmas, December 24. If the
merchants can monitor their own employees' use of the free parking
during those days this will provide a substantial assistance in
drawing the shopper to the downtown.
7. The City needs a commitment on the part of the merchants to promote
the park and shop program with a parking fee of twenty-five cents an
hour. The park and shop program can be a very effective way of
bringing shoppers into the downtown, however, it will not work unless
it receives full support from the merchants. It would be a good idea
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIOS•DES nO1MES
i
3
to receive a commitment from the merchants that they are willing to
support this park and shop program at a rate of twenty-five cents per
hour or in spite of all efforts to open up additional parking spaces
in the CBD, the shopper may shy away from paying that hourly rate.
8. The other alternative available is to look into the possibility of
renting an outside lot, such as the Grand Daddy's parking lot, and
providing a shuttle bus from that lot to the CBD. Rough calculations
show that it would cost the City approximately $3,500 to rent the lot
and operate the shuttle bus for a three or four week period and if
this would make it possible to start the second ramp in November, it
would certainly be to the City's advantage to bear this cost instead
of risking increased cost from the rebidding of the ramp contract.
In order to encourage the shoppers to use the outlying parking lot
and shuttle bus service, we are proposing that the parking and
shuttle bus be free of charge. The Grand Daddy's lot would provide
an additional 75 spaces for parking.
9. There is always the possibility that an additional level of the ramp
could be opened and this would add another 150 parking spaces. This
is weather -dependent and cannot be guaranteed at this time.

sex, national origin, disability, age, marital status or sexual
preference.
I. SCOPE 0 F SERVICES
The Consultant shall prepare a detailed study/report which will serve the
following functions:
i
a) as an application for a permit for "High Rate Land Application of
Municipal Stabilized Sludge" (High Rate Permit) at the City's
Municipal Landfill;
b) provide design and location criteria for monitoring wells for the
City's landfill;
c) as an application to amend the existing Municipal Landfill permit to
allow lagoons to be constructed to hold u
sludge; and nstabilized municipal
d) determine feasibility of other neighboring communities using Iowa
City's High Rate Permit. If feasible, include an application for a
permit for this service.
The text of the report shall be written by the Consultant, as an agent for
the City, to the Iowa Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) seeking
approval for the items above. If practical, the main body of the report
shall deal with the High Rate Permit and all other aspects shall be
included as appendices. The entire report shall be bound under one cover.
The specific work elements are more particularly defined as follows:
a. High Rate Permit
The Consultant shall use, as the basis of study, the requirements for
obtaining a High Rate Permit as detailed in Chapter 33 (and 27as
applicable) of the current edition of the Environmental Quality Dep
(400) Iowa Administrative Code. The City desires to obtain a permit
which would allow H gh Rate Land Application of stabilized sludge to
our present Municipal Landfill. Much of the information required by
Chapter 33 is identical to information previously supplied IDEQ for
the City's present Landfill Permit. The Consultant shall utilize "A
Plan for the Operation of a Sanitary Landfill by the City of Iowa
City, Iowa", which was prepared by George Bonnett and dated April 20,
1972. This report includes a soils report prepared by Soil Testing
Services of Iowa, Inc., dated February 1, 1972.
It shall be the consultant's responsibility to obtain necessary
information for the report from Iowa City, IDEQ, and Soil
Conservation personnel. The City will provide the sludge analysis to
the consultant as well as the anticipated volumes to be generated.
The Consultant shall perform all other necessary functions including
additional soils testing as necessary.

Furthermore, the Consultant shall review and use, as necessary,
information contained in the following publications (which are
available in the City's file):
1. "Applications of Sludges and Wastewaters on Agricultural Land:
A Planning and Educational Guide" (MCD -35)
2. "Sludge Treatment and Disposal" a 2 volume Technology Transfer
from EPA.
b. Monitoring Wells
The City has received an executive order from IDEQ regarding lagoons
at the City's municipal landfill which contain unstabilized sludge.
A copy of the order is attached as exhibit "B" for reference. Item 8
requires that a down flow monitoring well be installed.
The Consultant shall perform an analysis to locate a down flow
monitoring well to conform to the requirements of the executive order
attached. Additionally, the Consultant shall analyze and recommend
location for additional monitoring wells at locations around the
entire landfill site in a sufficient quantity to fulfill present and
anticipated future IDEQ requirements for disposal of municipal solid
waste as well as sludge.
The task in this phase of the report shall be limited to specific
design and location parameters and requirements. The actual
installation of the wells will be by addendum or separate contract
and not a part of this agreement.
C. Unstabilized Sludge Lagoon Permit
i On occasion the City finds it necessary to dispose of unstabilized
municipal sludge due to plant malfunctions, etc. The Consultant
shall determine IDEQ requirements regarding such installations at
the City's landfill and devote a section of the report to obtaining
an amendment to the existing landfill permit allowing for lagoon
installations in the future.
d. Neighboring Communities/High Rate Permit
Smaller neighboring communities to Iowa City (North Liberty as an
example) have shown interest in being able to dispose of its
municipal sludge under the City's High Rate Permit. Based upon
information generated in the previous sections of the report, the
Consultant shall determine the feasibility of others using the City
landfill for sludge disposal and devote a section of the report, if
feasible, to an application to IDEQ requesting a permit for such
operations.
e. General

We have reviewed the scope of services desired which in addition to it high rata
permit application includes design and location criteria for monitoring wells,
application to amend the existing landfill permit to allow unstabilized sludge
lagoons and a feasibility study regarding neighboring communities using
Iowa City's high rate permit. We have also reviewed the applicable portions
of the environmental quality department (400) Iowa administrative code and EPA
publications.
Based on the scope of the project to be undertaken, we feel the project would be
handled in four phases as follows:
Phase 1
1. Determine program objectives.
2. Review applicable regulations and necessary literature.
3. Meet with the agencies such as IDEA, Soil Conservation Service,
Iowa Geological Survey and City of Iowa City.
4. Determine the necessary data required to meet regulations.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Angola Ryan Asst. City Attornep
RE: Dedication Ordinance
rACTS
DATE: Novanber 8, 1979
In 1913, the City of Iowa City acquired two tracts
of land from Christian and Theresa Galoucher: one of 39.83
acres and one of 8.75 acres. While they were purchased for
cemetery purposes, there are no restrictions in the warranty
deeds and canetery expansion bonds were not used. In 1951,
the City acquired 40 acres from Claude and Mabel Woods directly
north of the 39.83 acres acquired From the Galouchers. The
purchase of this tract was financed through the use of canetery
bonds. Since the 39.83 acre tract and the 40 acre tract arc
presently being used as part of hickory Iii I1 Park and Lho
topography makes use of this land more desirable for park
purposes than cemetery purposes, it is Dennis Showalter's
recrmlendation that the tura tracts be dedicated to park pur-
poses. If the land is dedicated to park purposes, the City
will be in a better position to apply for grants for improve-
ments in the park.
QUIS'i'ION PRESINM
Does the City have the authority to dedicate land
for park purposes which had been purchased with cemetery
expansion bonds?
mNCT 11..9T(W
The City may divert land from one public use to .mother
when it deans it unsuitable for the purpose for which it, was
originally acquired.
DISCUSSION
The leading case in Iow> on this issue is Carson v.
State of Iowa, 240 Iowa 1178, 38 N.W. 2d 168 (Iowa 1949). In
Carson, land which had been granted to the territory, with
tyle subsequently passing to the City, was usod as a part; by
Iowa City. The City Council passed an ordinan(a: which (wnveyr:d
the land to the State for the University. Tho mu rl, hold Lhal,

authority to scxrwr dil'I'erent public use, al, Ierlst, where no
special private right has in the mean time arisen by purchase
or improvement of adjacent property in reliance on the permanency
of the public use in question. The court affirmed the holding
in Carson in Collis v. Board of Park Commissioners of the City
of Clinton, 240 Iowa 946, 38 N. W. 2d 635, (Iowa 1949).
In a February 19, 1968 Attorney General Opinion, he
relied upon Carson to state that the town of Britt had the
authority to race a memorial building and use the site for a
municipal building. In Abolt v. City of Fort Madison, 108
N.W. 2d 263 (1961), the court upheld a conversion of land
which had been used as a park to public dock facilities.

Dear Mr. Crane:
The City Council of Iowa City, Iowa, strongly supports the pursuit of
legislation for the purpose of regulating the shipment of radioactive
materials within and through the State of Iowa. Enclosed is a copy of a
resolution which was adopted unanimously by the City Council at its
October 30, 1979, formal meeting.
Recent publicity regarding vehicular accidents involving radioactive
shipments, along with a general growing concern for the potential
dangers of exposure to radioactive substances, has prompted local represen-
tatives of IPIRG and ACORN to actively support protective legislation in
our community. The City Council believes that such legislation, if it
is to be effective and enforceable, must be generated at the State
governmental level. We urge that you consider these and other expressed
concerns and recommendations regarding such legislation and, further,
that you work to facilitate in every way possible passage of such legisla-
tion at the earliest possible time.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Robert A. Vevera
Mayor

Dear Sirs:
Mr. John D. Kemp

Kansas City, Missouri 64141
In reference to your letter of June 12, 1979, (copy attached) to Mr. Emil
Brandt, Executive Director of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission,
you indicate that Iowa City can not qualify for federal urbanized area financial
assistance until FY 82.
As of this month, Iowa City has officially qualified as an SMSA (see attached
letter from Secretary Kreps). In the U.S. Department of Commerce Supplementary
Report (PC (S7); attached) it is noted that an urbanized area "is defined only
when a city qualifies for recognition as a central city on the basis of
1970 data."
There is a real question in my mind regarding the arbitrariness of the
ruling described in the Supplementary Report that "UA boundaries cannot be
made nationwide except on the basis of detailed population and land area
data, such as available only from a decennial census."
In any respect, the Supplementary Report notes that "two UA's (Clarksville,
Tennessee, and St. Cloud, Minnesota) have been defined for SMSA's that were
established on the basis of post -1970 annexations that resulted in 1970 census
population sufficient to meet the minimum total population required under
the revised SMSA criteria."
Iowa City currently meets urbanized area criteria for population and density,
although it did not quite meet the population criteria in 1970. However,
the 1979 SMSA appeal that Iowa City successfully initiated includes a sepnrate
community -- University Heights. In this sense, a responsible case might
be made that Iowa City's UA appeal is analogous to a community that
includes annexed areas, as in the Clarksville, Tennessee, and St. Cloud,
Minnesota, instances. Comprehensive census data exists. The only quentlon
is whether there is the administrative flexibility needed to extrapolate It.

Dear Sir:
I was delighted to learn of your intention to
enforce the ordinance for snow removal from sidewalks.
Before leaving the city last winter for the period of
January and February I made arrangements to have sidewalks
and driveway dhovelled during my absence. I feel there
Is no excuse for neglecting this household duty.
However, this will be my ninth winter at the above address
and some of the sidewalks in this area have consistently
been left undisturbed. This presents a choice between the
hazards of sidewalks covered with snow and ice or the traffic
in the streets.
I'm sure I speak for all the postmen, newpaperboys, school
children and other pedestrians whAn I say, "Thank you."
Sincerely yours,
(Mrs.) Ethel L. Garrison

re: Downtown Maintenance date . November 7, 1979
I
Attached is a copy of the Plaza Maintenance Manual. The manual has been
reviewed by Project Green, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Downtown j
Association, and has received favorable comments.
We will do the maintenance on all areas of the Plaza, from storefront
to storefront, both in summer and winter. We feel that this is
desirable, and by doing it all we can achieve the consistency that i
would be difficult if each business operator was responsible for the
cleanliness of the first 10' or 15' in front of each establishment in
the spring, summer, and fall. In the winter, we feel that it is
desirable to do all of the snow removal, so that businesses will not
use salt or other harmful chemicals on the snow and ice in front of
their establishments, and to achieve consistency. We will be sharing the I
"Green Machine" - a Tenant 5600 sweeper - with the parking garages. I
During the meetings with Chamber of Commerce groups when I was discussing
Plaza maintenance, the question of City policy on snow removal on
Washington Street sidewalks came up.
In the past, the businesses have been responsible for the clearing of the
IfJ first 15' out from their buildings; the rest was City responsibility.
Because of the many differences between the Plaza and Washington Street,
I hope we can continue this policy. i
We will have snow removal equipment at the Plaza; however, since there is
no place at present to store equipment (later it will be stored and
shared with the parking garages), it will come from City Park directly
to the Plaza. While we are at the Plaza we could clear some or all of
the first 15', but this would be an increase in the level of service
provided.
If you desire changes in the snow removal policy for downtown, please
advise.

PLAZA MAINTENANCE
Daily Activities --Spring, Summer Fall
1. Sweep with Green Machine. Sweep with wide broom all areas that
Green Machine cannot get to --steps, under benches, corners, around
barrels, etc. Whenever possible, sweep trash into areas where it can
be picked up with Green Machine.
2. Park Department employees will empty trash containers, using small
truck and packer. Keep truck on fire lane.
3. Clean spills --drinks, ice cream, etc.
4. Check condition of plant materials. Remove broken branches, look for
evidence of disease or insect damage, see if plants appear to be dry.
5. Look for evidence of vandalism; repair if you can. If you cannot
repair, report it to Director of Parks 6 Recreation, or designee
for repair arrangements.
6. Sweep and level sand under play structure.
7. Check bulletin boards; remove outdated materials.
Daily Activities --Winter
1. Remove snow as necessary, including during time it is snowing. Snow
will be removed with a variety of power equipment. In the fire lanes,
a Parks Department tractor (without chains) with rubber blade will
be used. On the sidewalks and other mall areas the following will
be used, depending on circumstance.

2. Hand shovel when necessary. NO salt will be used, as it is harmful
to plant materials and to merchants' carpets. Some sand will be used.
When chemicals are absolutely necessary, use X-73 Delcer, manufactured
by Monroe Chemical. It is non-toxic, won't harm the bricks, plant
materials, or carpets.
I
3. We will keep as many crosswalks open as practical, depending on depth
of accumulation. A minimum number is two per half block.
4. Caution must be exercised in the piling of snow on planters. No
extra snow can be applied to planter areas that contain shrubs, as
this will cause shrubs to break.
5. During years of extremely heavy snowfall, snow may be hauled out using
power equipment.
i Twice Per Week --Spring, Summer, and Fall
1111 1. During dry periods use Aqua -probe to check all areas where trees are
planted for soil moisture content at various depths. Use underground
' watering system to try to achieve the equivalent of 1" of rain per
week.
Weekly
1. Check all lights in evening; make arrangements to replace burned -
out bulbs.
2. Inspect all fountain mechanical equipment for proper operation in
i
the spring, summer, and fall.

General
A key element in the proper appearance and enjoyment of the Plaza will
be the health, vigor, and proper development of the trees and shrubs.
Many people in the community should be consulted if problems arise that
the staff cannot handle. These include Leon Lyvers, Gretchen Harshbarger,
and Arie Kroeze. In addition, Abe Epstein, I.S.U. Extension, is a valuable
source of technical information.
Project Green may want to supply and plant the annual flowers. They will
follow our design, so designs, including quantities, should be in their
hands by January.

Re: Handicapped Spaces Block 83/84 Garage
There are a total of 20 handicapped spaces in the parking garage. The
tabulation is as follows:
Tier # of Handicapped Spaces
Basement None
1st Tier 4
2nd Tier 7
3rd Tier 3
4th Tier 3
Roof 3
Total
r
All of the handicapped stalls are located very close to the stairtower on
the north side of the building for maximum access to the elevator.
The reason there are no handicapped stalls in the basement tier is because
both the middle and the north bay of the basement tier are exit ramps. The
only time a vehicle would be on these ramps is after it had circulated
garage. Based
on our experience the small number of handicapped persons will be able to
completely through the garage and was on its way out of the
find a reserve stall before they circulate through the entire garage.
There would be the possibility of putting a handicap stall on the south
bay on the basement level but then the handicapped person would not have
access to the elevator core on the north side of the building.

Re: Discussion on 11/5/79, Spruce Street Drainagg
The Spruce Street drainage problem was to be discussed at 2:00 PM on
Monday, November 5. I made a switch with another department head and
rescheduled this for 4:00 PM and notified the residents of the area.
Later I again switched the Spruce Street drainage discussion back to 2:00
PM due to complications but then I forgot to notify the residents. A few
residents did come into to Council meeting about 3:30 but the matter had
already been discussed.
I would like City Council to consider rescheduling this subject for
another informal meeting. I made the error but the residents in the area
are the ones who suffered. If you would consider hearing their comments,
would you please let the City Manager know and this will be rescheduled a
few weeks from now.

Re: Petition, Residents of Summit Street
Dear Mr. Nolan:
The Traffic Engineering Division has completed traffic counts and
vehicle speed studies on Summit Street. This information is attached
for your consideration.
You will note that traffic counts average 4,000 to 4,500 vehicles per
day. Truck counts are averaging 1 to 2%. Most of the trucks are
small two axle trucks. These vehicles are travelling at
approximately 30 miles per hour.
Comparing these numbers with other streets in town we do not notice
any unusual characteristics. Public Works would not recommend any
measures to Council under these conditions.
This information is being forwarded to the City Council and your
clients may wish to pursue this.with.the.Council directly.
Sincerely,,,

service to the City.
2. To maintain this equipment in such a way as will extend the economic
life to the maximum extent possible at minimum cost.
3. To perform equipment replacement analysis on a piece -by -piece basis

Fiscal Year Objectives:
1. Conduct energy audits of the City buildings and operations.
2. Conduct training sessions for City staff.
3. Conduct an energy consciousness campaign with the staff.
4. Monitor ongoing energy use and analyze that use in light of the
historical energy use.
Work Completed:
- 1978's energy use and building occupancy data was assembled for 45
City buildings and sent to the State in an effort th obtain energy
audit grant money for part of the cost of the energy audits.
- Informed staff concerning federal Emergency Building Temperature
Restrictions and coordinated the City's compliance effort.
- Responded to request from Housing Board of Appeals and Housing and
Inspection Services staff request for report concerning storm door
and window provision in the Housing Code.
Analysis:
The events of FY79 are being, disturbingly, duplicated this fiscal year.
Unforeseen events and questions are again taking a large amount of the
Energy Program Coordinator's time. Specifically, the federal Emergency
Building Temperature Restrictions and the storm door and window
effectiveness question absorbed a lot of staff time.

FISCAL YEAR OBJECTIVES
I. Conduct a heat loss identification project for low and moderate income
residents.
2. Implement the energy monitoring project to evaluate the energy
consumption trends of the various sectors in Iowa City and to measure
the effectiveness of any energy conservation measures.
3. Conduct a pilot solar demonstration project.
WORK COMPLETED
-Extensive work has been done on the pilot solar demonstration project.
ANALYSIS
The heat loss identification project is a cold weather project. The energy
monitoring project can wait until the pilot solar demonstration project is
completed. The solar project needs to be completed before winter and,
therefore, has the priority at this time. Overall, a majority of the
staff's time has been spent on General Fund activities.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Iowa City Council
FROM: Pam Ramser
RE: Enclosed Materials on FY 81 Human Service Agency Funding Requests
Enclosed in this week's packet are two sheets summarizing funding request
information for FY 81. The first sheet lists requests from each funding
body (Iowa City, Johnson County, United Way) for FY 81 and 1980. The
second sheet lists allocations to each agency for the past two fiscal
years (FY 79/1978 and FY 80/1979) and requests from each agency for the
next fiscal year.
Please note that this listing does not include the Council on Aging, Iowa
City Boys Baseball, or JCRPC, which have not yet formally submitted their
requests for FY 81.
Also enclosed is the summary sheet for Aid and Alternatives for Victims
of Spouse Abuse.

i* The AAVSA budget application lists no amounts for FY 80, although the shelter is
scheduled to open early next year. The amounts for FY 80, then, would be for
half a'year or less and might be misleading. AAVSA has prepared a budget for
calendar 1980, which shows expenditures of $1,500 less than for FY 81 and income
of $6,000 more than for FY 81.
j**Since there is no full -year program operating during FY 80, comparison here is
made between FY 81 and FY 79.
It should be noted that the programs during these two years are not entirely
comparable because the FY 79 program did not include operation of a shelter faci-
lity. The increased cost of the FY 81 program is due to increased staff needs
and the operation of a safe shelter program.
OTHER PROGRAM AND BUDGET INFORMATION
Since comparisons between FY 81 and previous years are not really meaningful, this
section will merely highlight grogram and budget information for FY 81.
