In the Street Division during snow season seven employees are placed on standby for approximately four months during the winter on a rotating shift. It is impractical to send seven City vehicles have with these employees. The City and the Union have negotiated an agreement in which employees will receive nine hours of regular pay for each week of standby rather than six hours designated in the contract. In other words, the City is paying three hours of regular pay for use of the employee's vehicle. This is an eitremely equitable arrangement and Public Works strongly reoammerds adoption of this resolution prior to the first snowfall.

CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS MEMBERS PRESENT: Baldus, Bartels, Harris MEMBERS ABSENT: Conlin STAFF PRESENT: Boothroy, Wilkinson, Ryan, Kendall FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN: None SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION: Harris called the meeting to order and called for consideration of the minutes of the September 27, 1979, meeting. Baldus moved, and Bartels seconded, that the minutes be approved as circulated. Motion carried unanimously (3-0). V-7911. Public hearing on an application submitted by Hawkeye Cablevision for an exception as provided in Section 8.10.28H.2a of the Zoning Ordinance to permit the construction of 175 foot cable TV tower. Boothroy presented an overlay of the area and explained that the exception is being requested only for the 501x50' parcel on which the tower is to be located. He further explained that this is only a TV -FM tower and not a micro -wave tower. He also indicated that he had talked with an engineer at the University of Iowa regarding the proposed tower and was told that since this is a self-supporting tower there was very little danger that the tower would fall. lie also indicated that in the event that the tower did fall there was very little likelihood that it would fall outside the 501x50' parcel. In checking with the FAA, Mr. Boothroy was informed that this tower poses no air hazard for aircraft. Mr. Boothroy also stated that the staff recommends that the exception be granted. Bill Blough, representing Hawkeye Cablevision, stated that the first site that was considered for the tower was denied by the FAA because of the general vicinity of the airport. He also indicated that the tower cannot be located in a commercial or industrial location and that it cannot be located too far from town because of transmitting difficulties. He also indicated that this site was chosen because this area appears to be an unlikely place for future development because of the terrain of the immediate area. In answer to questions regarding the lease of the property, he explained that Cablevision has a 15 year lease with three 5 year option!; for this property. Baldus asked if there would be an objection from Hawkeye Cablevision if the exception was granted with a condition that the center of the tower be located 125' from 011 surrounding property. Mr. Blough indicated that he saw no problem with this. Jen Madsen, a member of the Broadband Telecommunications Commission, asked if the Board of Adjustment had received the Broadband Telecommunications Commission's letter regarding this item, Harris indicated that they had received the letter. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES IIOIIIEs Board of Adjustment November 7, 1979 Page 2. Tony Frey, 15 Caroline Court, stated that he owned the property directly west of the Barker property. He first discussed technical aspects of the tower with the Board, accompanied by diagrams on the blackboard. During this discussion, he also discussed stress limits of the tower. He also indicated that his property is located at the bottom of the hill and that he was objecting to the tower on aesthetic grounds. Ile also stated that he did not think that his house was in danger if the tower should fall but thought that a 400' clearance should be provided to all surrounding areas. Ile also indicated that he had not received a letter regarding this request and asked that the Board not vote on this item until the next meeting because he felt that it was possible that other property owners had not been notified either. Boothroy stated that all property owners within 200 feet of the property for which the exception is being requested were notified by letter. Herb Davis, 707 Kimball Avenue, stated that he was opposed to the tower being in this area because it was an R1A area. He also stated that he thought more investigation should be done regarding the site for the location of the tower. i Steve Kriz, owner of property west of the Hy -Vee Food Stores site, stated that he had six lots subdivided in this area and that he felt the tower was going to be too close to his property. He also expressed concerns about the fact that this property would be undesirable for residential housing because of the tower. After some discussion by the Board, Baldus moved and Bartels seconded that action on this item be deferred until (1) an expert opinion could be obtained regarding the possible dangers involved with the construction of the tower and (2) an appraisal could be obtained showing the effect this construction would have on the surrounding property. Motion carried unanimously. V-7912. Public hearing on an application submitted by Eagle Discount Supermarket for a variance and/or interpretation to Section 8.10.35.9.C.1 of the Sign Ordinance to permit the erection of an advertising sign. Boothroy indicated that a new facia has been constructed forming the background for the sign that is requested. The proposed sign would be above the existing roof line, He also indicated that the sign area would be greater than what is allowed in this zone and that another variance would need to be requested. Eric Swartz, attorney representing Eagle Discount Supermarkets, was present along with the architect for the project, the head of construction for Eagle's, and the local store manager to answer questions. Mr. Swartz presented a blueprint of the original store and also of the proposed sign. He explained that Eagle's was acting within the letter of the law and wished the Board to grant the variance. Boothroy asked the applicant's attorney why they chose to propose a sign that was not in conformance with the Sign Ordinance knowing the existing sign was non -conforming and required to be removed in 1981 and that any replacement sign would have to meet all requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Swartz responded that not being fully appraised of the Sign Ordinance was an oversight on their part, however, it would have made no difference in their sign proposal.

DES o-10IVES ■ W Board of Adjustment November 7, 1979 Page 3 Woody Kendall, Zoning Inspector, explained that the interpretation of roof line was "the top of the,built up roof material which covers the structural members for this roof." lie also indicated that covering the braces with a roofing membrane does not qualify its surface as a part of the roof. In answer to questions from Board members regarding the issuance of the building permit, he indicated that a building permit was granted for the facia and inside work prior to the request for the sign permit. Following some lengthy discussion by the Board regarding the sign that is proposed, Baldus moved and Bartels seconded that action on this item be deferred until the next meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Boothroy asked that the time for the next meeting be discussed. It was pointed out that there is a 15 -day period required for publication of the meeting. Boothroy also pointed out the amount of staff time involved in setting up a meeting and suggested that the meeting be held the second week in December. After some discussion, Harris asked if the meeting could be scheduled for the first week in December. The meeting was tentatively scheduled for December 5.

Street LightiM The Citizens for Better Lighting were not ready to make a presentation.

Two citizens, Becky Bagford and Danette Conyers, also were present to express their support for additional lighting. The Commissioners pointed out that the RCC would make recommendations regarding the energy side of the street lighting issue. RCC Goals and Objectives The Commissioners set their goals and prioritized them. They will add objectives at the next meeting and each member is directed to pick a topic or area which they will keep up on. The goals are: i i1. Public awareness, 2. Energy audit, 3. Building energy code, 4. Transportation, 5. Community liaison, 6. Natural resources, and 7. Community design. A previously existing goal - solid waste recovery - was placed under natural resources. Community liaison was added as a goal because it was felt that the RCC should establish and maintain contact with local agencies or organizations such as Coralville, the University, Johnson County, Johnson County Regional Planning Commission, East Central Iowa Council of Governments, Iowa City Chamber of Commerce, P.T.A.s, etc. in order to develop a community energy conservation program. a 153 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES FlOIIIES Resources Con vation Connission October 25, 1979 Page 2 Singer moved, Bolnick seconded, that the RCC deal with the first goal, public awareness, at the next meeting and that individual members update the RCC on areas of their interest which relate to resources conservation and Iowa City.

The Commissioners asked for a summary of the key factors on each application. Other Business Gormezano moved, Singer seconded, that the RCC recommend to the City Council that it establish a moratorium on an, new development in the area of Foster Road until further study can be done.

Tinklenberg also reported that since the last series of publicity concerning the project, he had received 17 inquiries raising the total number of recorded inquiries since last July to 33. With unrecorded inquiries, the total number of people expressing interest in the solar grant project is approximately 40. One Commissioner asked if there was any possibility of continuing this project next year. Tinklenberg responded that the current CDBG funds run out at the end of this fiscal year. There is the c2153 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES ?401 BES 2 possibility of using money from other sources; but these are only vague possibilities at this time. There was a short discussion of what to use as specifications for the solar work.

Approved unanimously. Bolnick moved, Singer seconded, that the RCC authorize up to $25 for advertising and materials. Approved unanimously. Public Awareness Objecti-•a: Bolnick moved, Singer seconded, that the RCC adopt as its objectives under Public Awareness: a) childhood education, b) homeowner education, and c) business owner education and furthermore, that the RCC undertake the distribution of the Iowa Energy Policy Council's "Home Energy Saver's Manual" through local businessses if possible, by the end of January, obtain an intern from the University of Iowa School of Journalism to issue periodic feature stories and public service announcements relating to energy conservation, coordinate a seminar on energy conservation in small businesses to be accomplished by the end of February, and conduct an energy conservation workshop or compaign for senior citizens by the end of March. Approved unanimously. North Side Development Tinklenberg recommended against additional involvement in this issue. After a short discussion, the Commissioners decided that their statement of concern in the October 25 minutes was adequate and the matter was dropped.

It is their feeling that while some additional traffic will be generated during arena events, the improvements made to the Rocky Shore Drive intersection will provide more efficient traffic movement. The University's consulting engineer has pre- dicted that for a non arena/football game situation, traffic increases will be less than five percent.

This action will be taken on or shortly after 29 November, 1979, COMMENT: This action is being taken after the results of a postcard survey were evaluated. The postcard survey was used to determine the opinion of the affected residents along Crosby Lane. 77% of the responding residents favored the removal. 67% favored removal from the south side of Crosby Lane. There was a clear consensus among the residents for this parking prohibition. bc3/4 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIIo RIES alba To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the Iowa City Council - This letter is in reply to the Nov, 2 Memorandum of Dick Plastino, in which he comments on my letter of Oct. 30 in which I pointed out to your Honorable Body that during a snow emergency parking in parts of this area would be permitted on one side of four adjoining streets on even days, but on odd days parking would not be permitted on either side of those streets, this because some of the No Parkinsigns are on the wrong side of a street. Mr. Plastino admits that not all of the No Parkine signs are where they should be, and that if they were then parking would be permitted in the area sever, days a week -- on the east and west streets on even days and on the north and south streets on odd days. (That is during a snow emergency.) In his Memo. Mr. Plastino says that Public Works prefers not to shift the misplaced signs because, under the present set—up, some switch parking would be Possible. But switch to where? In this nearby area the only street on which parking would be permitted on odd days during a snow emergency would be the two short blocks on Jackson Avenue, which is whore Fritz(s Hatcher & Deeds and House of Wood are located. Surrounding this Avenue to the north, east and south, for one long block in each direction. there are some 50 households on streets where no perking is permitted on either side on any of the streets on odd days during a snow emergency. How maay of the 50 could expect to switch park to Jackson Avenue? Sfr3tbll parking, except at some corners, would be equally impossible ah there isn't enough parking space_ on the north two blocks of Rundell Street's on Oakland Avenue,nnr on Summit Street for the residents living on thoserttrets, during a snow emergencyr that is. Fir. Plastino said that he is reluctant to move the signs unikss the situation is absolutely intolerable. During a snow emergency it would be absolutely untolerable in the area bounded by Summit Street, Court Street, Muscatine Avenue Seventh;: Avenue and the Rock Island tracks because of the disorder, confusion and hardship that would be caused in this district on the odd days of the month unless all of the signs are sos a �t at parking is permstted on the even sides of the east and west stres one'Re odd sides of the north and south streets do odd days. In Towncrest the signs have been properly placed, and there is no good reason why the same should not be done in this area. All that your Honorable Body needs to do to promote order, eliminate confusion and prevent hardshtpdduring a snow emergency is to instruct the on staff to move the No Parking signs from the west aide of the street to the -bast!-, side Dearborn Street, on Rundell Street south of Sheridan Avenue, on Grant Street and on Clark Street north of the Rock Island tracks. With winter fast approaching, there is no time to lose. I have been working on this with the Public Works Department ever since the day after the snow emergency ordinance appeared in the Press—Citizen. Because of.the large number of old people in this area, I wanted to try to be sure that the No Parking signs would be on the proper side of our streets. The very next day after I discussed this with a member of the staff, the calendararkin ci P g gns were taken dawn on Dearborn Street and on Rundell Street south of Sheridan. and the No Parking signs were put up on the wrong .sides of those two streets.

Plastino, Director of Public Works Re: Standby Pay in Street Division for Snow Removal Last winter the Street Division reorganized itself to handle the severe winter. The 14 employees split into Team A and Team B. During plowing operations, one team plowed for twelve hours and then the second team plowed twelve hours, thereby taking care of a 24 hour day. Since a snow storm can start in the middle of the night, each team was put on standby for seven days every other week. For example, on Friday afternoon after the employee left work, he or she would have to be available by phone all hours of the night and weekend until the following Friday. The current City -Union contract states that the employee will receive six hours of extra pay, a beeper device and a City vehicle for performing this service. The City was able to provide the six hours of pay and the beeper device but we did not wish to send seven cars or dump trucks to employees' homes since they live all over the county. Last year the employees and management settled the matter unsatisfactorily. Basically, management threatened to run one team Wednesday through Sunday and the second team Monday through Friday. This is a rather hollow threat since it would completely disrupt our work schedule when a snowstorm actually did start, since for two days of the week we would not be able to find all employees unless they wished to answer the phone. Rather than continue this unsatisfactory condition this winter, we sat down and negotiated with the Union and struck a very fair arrangement for both the Union and the City. The employees agreed that for an extra three hours of pay a week they would agree to let the City out of its contractual obligation to provide a vehicle for all employees on standby. The cost of this agreement, in relationship to our snow removal budget, is very small. The calculation is as follows: (3 hours) X (7 employees) X ($5.64) X (16 weeks) _ ( _wk) T hr ) $1895 for the winter The cost for the entire four months of winter will be approximately $1895. To put this in perspective, we will be spending approximately $40,000 this winter for salt. The salt is useless if the employees .2 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MONIES ., AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT It is hereby agreed by and between the parties to the foregoing Agreement to amend Article VIII Overtime, Section 4 of the Agreement between the City of Iowa City, The Iowa City Library Board of Trustees and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Council 61, Local 183, AFL-CIO to read: Subsection A Employees of the Street/Sanitation Department who are required to be on stand-by for the purpose of emergency snow removal will be compensated at a rate of nine (9) hours at current base pay rate for each week of stand-by time.

Our community and the University of Iowa depend heavily upon railroad services for shipments of coal and other fuels, as well as various other commodities. Rail service is a vital link in meeting our transportation needs and will likely continue to be such in the future. We are presently served by the Rock Island Railroad and the Cedar Rapids b Iowa City (CRANDIC) Railroad between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. Several spur lines also exist in the area, including a valuable line to Hills, Iowa. The existing network of railway corridors in this vicinity, when effectively used, can serve our needs sufficiently. We are concerned that these tracks be maintained and that they continue to be used to provide the necessary rail service to Iowa City and surrounding localities. Any decline in the availability of quality rail service would certainly represent a hardship to many of our citizens, and a significant loss of such service would be a serious detriment to the future growth and development of our community. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB ( CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MoIt1Es Chairman of Interstate Commerce November 14, 1979 Page 2 We urge that you consider our position as you address the problems of rail transportation and that you act in a manner which will insure continued quality rail service to Iowa City and other communities for which such service has become an integral part of vital transportation systems.

The Summit Street Co-operative Apartment rehabilitation project is nearing completion of the exterior work. The roof has been replaced and the exterior walls have been cleaned, tuckpointed, and broken and weak stucco replaced. The interior work has begun and will continue throughout the winter months. This building will be completed in spring when weather permits completion of the exterior work and final painting. The preliminary loan application for the Iowa Apartment Building is being submitted to HUD for consideration early next week. HUD indicates by phone that they are anticipating a favorable review of the preapplication, but that it will have to wait until sufficient funds (about half a million dollars) become available sometime later in the fiscal year. The staff has completed final editing of the rehabilitation procedure manual to be used for the fifth year CDBG rehabilitation program. This manual will be submitted simultaneously to the City Council, the CCN and the Housing Commission. After allowing a week for review, a resolution will be submitted to City Council requesting adoption of the manual. This will allow us to begin immediate service to the clients that have applied for financing rehabilitation assistance. At my last presentation on rehabilitation, I indicated a need to have an advisory committee for rehabilitation developed to give guidance to the staff on matters such as 312 and priority for service on all rehabilitation applications. It was suggested 'at that time that we reactivate the old rehabilitation advisory committee. After considerable research involving the City Clerk and the Planning and Programming Department, we were able to obtain minutes from meetings held in 1977; however, we are unable to locate any resolution, bylaws or other document establishing this committee. Without this documentation, the composition of the committee remains unknown and therefore I am requesting that the Council authorize the Housing Commission to serve this function. The staff is suggesting that the Housing Commission become involved in rehabilitation since the Housing Assistance Plan (HAP) requires guidance and input from the Housing Commission and this, along with their role in the development and administration of the Housing Code, makes them well qualified to perform rehabilitation advisory services required by the staff. a�00 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MDIIIES 2 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RANDS -DES MOVIES With approval of the City Council to utilize the Housing Commission, the necessary steps to complete rehabilitation activities for the final year of CDBG funding are well underway. The staff presently feels that we have sufficient applications on file from citizens who have telephoned or visited the Civic Center and expressed an interest in rehabilitating their properties to utilize all j the money set aside by Council for rehabilitation this year. In addition, j the inquiries indicate the possibility of several 312 loans that could be captured this fiscal year. The primary task for the Housing Commission Jj would be to review these applications and to provide direction to the staff regarding the order of service that should be undertaken while meeting the program guidelines of emphasis on service to elderly, disabled and low income homeowners. I certainly hope the suggestion of using the Housing Commission meets with Council approval and I look forward to discussing the rehabilitation manual with you at an informal session very soon. I 3 d bc5/6 k 1 it i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RANDS -DES MOVIES City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: November 14, 1979 To: City Council From: John Hayek, City Attorney Re: Worker's Claims on City Projects Mayor and Council members, a few days ago Mr. Joseph Grant addressed a concern to the City Council about payment of laborers and workers on City construction projects. Specifically, Mr. Grant was concerned about the difficulty that workers on the recent City Plaza Project had in getting payment for work performed. Mr. Grant suggested that the City adopt new procedures to provide protection for workers. For the reasons that I will set forth below in this memorandum I do not believe that additional procedures are needed. Existing statutes provide very specific protections for workers and laborers on City projects. Chapter 573 of the Code of Iowa deals with labor and material on public improvements. This law requires as follows: 1. All contracts for construction of public improvements exceeding $5,000 must be accompanied by a surety bond in an amount of at least 75% of the contract price. Section 573.6 of the Code makes a specific requirement of the bond that the bonding company guarantee payment to all persons on all just claims due them for labor performed. 2. The City is required by Section 573.12 to retain 10% of each payment to the contractor from that payment and to hold that retainage for a period of 30 days after the completion and final acceptance of the project. This fund is then made available to take care of claims for labor and materials. 3. Any worker or laborer may file a claim with the City at any time before the expiration of 30 days following the completion and final acceptance of the project and at any later time if the City has not paid out the full contract price. 4. The State law provides that where claims are filed as outlined above the courts will then determine the claims and order payment from the retainage of claims for labor, giving claims for labor priority over claims for materials and claims of the public corporation, i.e. till! City. 5. If the retainage is insufficient to pay claims, judgment can then be entered for the amount of the claim on the bond. See Section 573.22 of the Code of Iowa. CkV MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DEs nOIIIES 6. In order to assist workers with the legal costs of presenting their claims the State law provides that the court may tax, as costs, a reasonable attorney fee in favor of any claimant for labor or materials who has, in whole or in part, established his claim. It does therefore seem to me that there are already ample protections for workers on City projects. Workers who have claims ers with the City less and then $1,000 in amount can file the appropriate pap bring an action in Small Claims Court to have the matter determined. The t worker would not need to have a lawyer and the procedures in Small Claims Court are informal and are designed specifically so that a lay person, if he or she wishes, can represent himself or herself. Claims for amounts in excess of $1,000 would have to be presented to the District Court but, as indict orderato give workersorneys fees and laborers ay be awarded in favor aof the claimant in access to the courts. Mr. Grant has also indicated considerable unhappiness with a subcontractor who has been involved in recent City projects. Although it would certainly be possible for the City to indicate in advance, preferably, that it did not want to use a certain subcontractor on a construction project the normal procedure is for the general contractor to select subcontractors. It would be possible for the City Council to adopt procedures that would provide for other mechanisms for arbitrating and dseter ming claims for labor and materials on City projects. Chapter 573 of the Code of Iowa sets forth appears to me that comprehensive State mechanism for adjudicating and determining these claims. If the City Council does wish to look into other procedures or other protective measures we will of course be very happy to comply with that request. I am sending a copy of this memorandum to Mr. Grant in advance of our scheduled Council meeting on this subject so that he may review these comments and prepare his comments with knowledge of my recommendations on the subject. tp/sp MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1101RES City of Iowa Ch„ ,-- MEMORANDUM Date: November 15, 1979 To: The Honorable Mayor and the City Council of Iowa City From: Linda Woito Cook, Assistant City Attorney O Re: City of Iowa City vs Edward Sanhueza - 615 S. ernor You have asked for an update on the Sanhueza case which was filed in Johnson County District Court. The case is now mid -trial. This means that a portion of the evidence was presented to the Honorable Judge Hiland at an earlier date. The judge indicated he needed additional evidence before making a decision. On October 31, 1979, 1 wrote Judge Hiland and requested a hearing be set for January, 1980 to complete the trial. He responded that a hearing date would be set in 1980 as soon asthe judges' schedules were established for the Sixth Judical District. Judge Hiland also indicated that he would appoint a master with some expertise in architecture and/or construction to hear evidence on what Mr. Sanhueza must do in order to conform the structures as "one main building" under our Zoning Ordinance. The master would then make recommendations to the judge. The decision, of course, will ultimately be made by Judge Hiland. I expect that a hearing will be held in early 1980 before Judge Hiland for purposes of appointing a master, and that the case will be tried to conclusion. As you know, the Iowa Supreme Court held in an earlier law suit that Mr. Sanhueza's structures were in violation of the City's Zoning Ordinance which permits only one main building on a City lot. It is the City's position that Mr. Sanhueza's property continues to be in violation of the Zoning Ordinance, since no structural or architectural changes have been made since the Supreme Court decision. I will proceed with trial of the case to its full conclusion, unless otherwise directed by the City Council. tp/4/3 �i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES at971 City of Iowa Citi Date: November 16, 11979, To: City Council 1 \. From: Dick Plastino� Re: No Parking Any T\\*me on One Side of Street - Snow Emergency After the City Council discussion on Monday, November 12th, Della Grizel and I had an opportunity to fully discuss the snow emergency procedures on streets with "no parking" signs on one side. We reached consensus that a major flaw in the whole plan was depending upon the citizen to receive all of this information through the news, media. We concluded that the plan for handling a snow emergency on those streets with one side prohibition was too complex. The alternate discussed Monday of installing additional signs on the existing parking signs was absolutely impossible. Mrs. Grizel has asked that I present an alternate recommendation to Council and she would like to review this and give her comments. My proposal is as follows: 1. Strike any reference to streets with one side parking prohibition from the Snow Emergency Ordinance. 2. When a major snow storm strikes, the City will plow all of the streets possible with the exception of the side where cars are legally parked. Keep in mind that this situation is better than last winter. Last winter many of the streets that are posted "no parking" one side did not have any parking prohibition. Cars were parked on both sides. So, regardless of what finally comes out of this whole thing, we are in better shape now than last year. 3. The City will post temporary paper "no parking" signs on the north/south streets only. This will allow vehicles legally parked on the north/south streets to move to legal parking stalls on the east/west streets. We will then plow. 4. After these streets are done we will post the temporary "no parking" signs on the east/west streets and vehicles legally parked on these streets can move to the north/south streets. In essence this accomplishes every goal the City has. It provides positive notification to the citizen and doesn't depend upon reading about the snow emergency in the paper or hearing it over the radio. F MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAMS -DES MONIES r i L 2 I would like to go ahead and depend upon the media for implementing the Snow Emergency Ordinance in newer subdivisions on the outskirts of town. If people get the word and the procedure works, good. If they don't, we are not faced with an intolerable situation since the density of cars is much less in the outlying areas. It appears we are going to have to meet one more Monday. Let us know what you think. cc: Della Grizel Jim Brachtel tp/4/4 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 140111ES City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: November 14, 1979 To: City Council From: Dick Plastino iII� � Re: Parking on Washin on Street between Capitol and Clinton A few days ago we discussed the possibility of installing approximately 75 parking spaces on Washington Street between Capitol and Clinton. At the time of the discussion we all overlooked the fact that there is a raised island in the middle of Washington Street which precludes almost all angle parking. We were able to squeeze in parallel parking stalls on the north curb and 170 feet of parallel parking on the south curb from Capitol toward Clinton. On the last section of the south curb of Washington thirty degree angle parking is possible. With all of these conditions, this block of Washington will hold 27 cars. Meter installation would not be difficult on the north curb line. The south curb line would present problems since the construction fence of Old Capitol will come nine feet out onto the pavement on the east half of the block between Capitol and Clinton. Somehow meters would have to be installed on the concrete pavement. Any automobile parking in this block does some bad things to the transit system. These are: 1. By using Washington Street between Capitol and Clinton as a transit interchange area it was going to be possible to bring all except one bus into the downtown area at the same time. This makes for a fantastic transfer rather than our present system. At present, one group of buses comes in and then 15 minutes later another group comes in. One of the main purposes of this section of Washington was to allow easy transters. 2. Right now we are sending 2 buses down the Market Street hill. There are no two ways about it; this can't continue during the winter. By opening Washington Street we can eliminate this downhill bobsled run. 3. Several of the routes have to drive two and three blocks out of the way to get headed in the right direction with our system right now. Opening the interchange area will eliminate these extra blocks. Councilors, we're about out of time. There just is not a lot of time to make decisions. Much of the temporary work at the parking garage and at the interchange area requires the use of hot mix to set up temporary islands. I've gone ahead and authorized the Street Division to build a temporary island on the south curb line of Washington Street on the concrete pavement. This will serve as a boarding area for eastbound buses aM MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES NOIRES 2 until the Old Capitol mall is done and they move their fence back behind the curb. I would like you to authorize Public Works to do advertising i and open this transit interchange area November 26. We had planned to open it November 19, but this will give Council a chance to turn us around if you feel we are headed in the wrong direction. I anticipate that we will be able to open the third level of the parking garage, thereby giving an additional 150 to 180 spaces that we didn't plan on. Considering the fact that the spaces on Washington Street would probably be packed full by 7:30 in the morning with non -shoppers, we really ought to go ahead with ouroriginal plans and open the transit interchange area. In any event, we, got to have a firm decision by your informal meeting on November 19. It's not our intent to push Council, but we're out of time. bdw3/14-15 cc: Gene Dietz Hugh Mose Joe Fowler Rosemary Vitosh Jim Brachtel MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES ?1011JES I City of Iowa CH-' MEMORANDUM Date: November 13, 1979 To: City Council �) From: Dennis R.

Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 I. Project Location and Description A. Geographic Location The proposed project site occupies approximately one-half acre of open space at the southern end of a 38 -acre park in southern Iowa City. Known as Sturgis Ferry Park, most of the park area was used as a landfill until 15 years ago when it was leveled and seeded with grass. The park remains undeveloped and as yet is little used by the public. (See photographs in Appendix) Sturgis Ferry Park lies adjacent to the major southern entrance to Iowa City. It is bordered on the east and south by the Iowa River, on the west by Highway 218, and on the north by Highway 6. (See photographs) The City of Iowa City maintenance facilities lie between the north end of actual park area and Highway 6. Land uses in the vicinity of the park are predominantly large- scale commercial and are clustered near the intersection of Highways 6, 218 and 1. The Iowa City Municipal Airport is located directly west across Highway 218 from Sturgis Ferry Park. Some commercial uses and a few residences are located north of the airport. Across the river from the park lies a sand and gravel quarry, hidden from view by the steep river bank. A cement plant is situated directly south of the quarry. Because the dam at the University of Iowa power plant (Burlington Street) is the first such obstruction above the confluence of the Iowa River with the Mississippi, the river segment just south of the dam is considered to be a prime fishing area. For this reason accessibility to the dam area was emphasized in the selection of a ramp site. •"I =1 C -I rl r -I rl +i t..l a r' r B. Project Site (See photographs in Appendix) +� The proposed boat ramp site is on the Iowa River bank near the southern park boundary at a point approximately 200 feet from Highway 218. A parking area would be provided on the landfill surface roughly between the ramp and the highway. Within Sturgis Ferry Park, this particular project site was selected because it will require only a short access road, it will disturb the least vegetation, and, since it will occupy only a narrow southern portion of park property, future use of the park will remain largely unrestricted. .� MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES Ionics C 2 Improvements to be Added to Proposed Project Site A preliminary project design is included in the Appendix. (Exhibit 9) A general description of project features is given below. 1. Boat Ramp A single -lane boat ramp is planned to be constructed on the Iowa River bank. This ramp will be approximately 15 feet wide, 130 feet long, and have a slope of 17%. A portion (that portion which extends into the river) of the ramp will be built of interlocking concrete planks, the remainder of solid concrete. The river bank at this site will require about 800 cubic yards of fill. The cut will be heavily rip rapped, as will be the entire perimeter of the ramp, to prevent soil erosion. The exact location of the boundary between the landfill and stable riverbank soils is presently unknown, but it is likely that a portion of the ramp will be constructed on landfill. Because of this possibility, a layer of aggregate fill will be placed beneath the ramp to insure its stability. As the ramp width is narrow and since spaces will exist between the interlocking concrete planks, the escape of any methane gas from settling refuse will not be prevented. It is only when this gas is trapped beneath a structure that the possibility for explosion or health hazard occurs. 2. Parking Area Approximately 12,000 square feet of parking area is to be -• provided for river users. This area will contain 20 parking spaces, each 10' by 40', with some additional area for maneuvering. The large parking spaces are necessary to accomodate cars with boat trailers. The parking area will be located on the flat landfill surface. Because of the problems previously mentioned in connection with building on landfills, i.e., surface instability and the necessity of allowing for the escape of methane gas, the parking area must be graveled rather than asphalted. A permeable surface will allow for the release of gas and will not be significantly affected in the settling process. In accordance with City policy, tree plantings around the parking area will serve to buffer the unsightliness of parked cars from the remainder of the park and from vehicular traffic on Highway 218. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 3 3. Local Access Road There is presently no access road from Highway 218 to the H proposed project site at Sturgis Ferry Park. A graveled road is to be constructed using an existing curb cut off of Highway 218 (which is four -lane along this stretch) as its point of origin. (See photograph N3) This road will extend over a straight-line distance of approximately 60 feet and will be approximately 15 feet wide. An additional 100 feet of road will be constructed to permit egress from the parking area (see Exhibit 9). Again, gravelling _ rather than asphalting is necessary because the road will be constructed on landfill. D. Agreements Needed to Insure Completion of the Project I.

Area and Population Served Because it will be the only river access point for boats available within the Iowa City city limits, the proposed project is intended to serve the entire Iowa City area. Boaters will therefore be drawn from a population of at least 50,000. Those persons who now boat on this segment of the river would be the primary group of project beneficiaries; launching their boats would require much less physical effort and risk. It is also encountered nainle to assume h launching boatsdirectlyat ufromothetbank,�at�least some boat owners (elderly persons, for example) are currently --1 deterred from using their boats in this area and either fish from land or sons wld also benefit ufrom heramp oaconstruction. A ethise rdrsgroupouof beneficiaries would include future fishing boat owners, i canoeists, and others wishing to boat on the river. Finally, the project would also provide river access for water search operations. Considered as an element in a total program of river corridor improvements, the entire population of Iowa City will benefit as opportunities to enjoy the river's recreational capacities expand. 1 J II. Goals and Obiectives A. Project Goals 1. To emphasize the scenic potential and aesthetic values of the Iowa River and the floodplain adjoining it. 2. To develop the recreational capacity of the river and the floodplain. 3. To heighten awareness of the Iowa River Corridor as an important community asset. 4. To insure that the river can be enjoyed in the safest Possible manner. 5. To promote energy conservation by providing public facilities at locations which minimize necessary travel. FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 6101ME5 -- 5 6. To begin to implement the Iowa River Corridor Plans. B. Project Objectives I. Expand opportunities for acyualic act (Vit ius boating and fishing within Iowa City. 2. Provide a safe means of river access for boats. 3. Provide a river access point that can be easily reached by most Iowa City residents. 4. Provide river access for water search operations. 5. Provide parking for bank fishermen. 6. Focus attention on the Iowa River in Iowa City from the major southern entrance to Iowa City. III. Existing Environmental Qualities A. Physical Characteristics 1. Air Quality The extent and nature of emission concentrations in the immediate project area have not been measured. Air monitoring facilities for suspended particulates and a sulfur dioxide are located at the Medical Laboratories Building of the University of Iowa and readings from this facility may be assumed to approximate air quality in the project area. In 1975, the annual geometric mean of suspended particulates for Iowa City was 66 micrograms per cubic meter, which is in compliance with the national primary standard of 75 micrograms per cubic meter. In 1975 the arithmetic mean for sulfur dioxide in Iowa City was 11.4 micrograms per cubic meter, which was substantially 61 below the national primary standard of 80 micrograms per cubic meter. The principal land uses now affecting ambient air quality r in the project area would be heavily traveled arterlal roads (e.g. Highways 6, 218 and 1) and the Airport. 2. Noise Levels Noise levels at the project site have not been measured. " The project area (Sturgis Ferry Park) is subject to periodic high noise levels due to aircraft take -offs and landings and to continuous noise arising from heavy automobile and truck traffic. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES HOMES t� 3. Water Quality a. Surface Water There are five major constituants causing pollution in the Iowa River: nutrients, pesticides, silt producing turbidity, bacteria and organic matter.(1) Probably the major factor influencing the water quality of the Iowa River is non -point source pollution from agricultural land. Water quality is also heavily influenced by the hydrological characteristics of the river.(2) The hydrology of the Iowa River at Iowa City is controlled by the operation of the Coralville Dam, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flood control project. Normal release rates vary widely throughout the year from about 1,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 10,000 cfs. Operating procedures provide for minimum low flow in the river at Iowa City of 100 cfs. In summer, the low flowing months, the water is of the best quality.(3) The surface water classification of the Iowa River from its mouth, in Louisa County, to the Burlington Street Dam in Iowa City is Class B - Wildlife, Non - Body Contact and Acquatic Life (Warm Water). i b. Ground Water Ground water in the Iowa River basin is in general oxygen -depleted and highly mineralized.(4) Ground water quality beneath the old landfill at Sturgis Ferry Park has been impaired by landfill leachate.(5) The proposed project is unlikely to have any impact on ground water quality. 4. Water Supply The Iowa River is the major source of potable water for Iowa City and even in periods of low flow is more than adequate to meet water needs.(6) There are no potable water intakes located downstream from the proposed project site. No effect on surface or ground water quality is anticipated. 5. Soils/Topography The proposed ramp site is located partly in the narrow margin between the river and the old landfill in the Iowa River floodplain. Floodplain soils are typically alluvial and colluvial, outwashed from loess deposits and glacial till from the Kansan drift. The soil series found at this particular site is probably loamy alluvial land.(7) This is water -deposited, highly stratified loamy material that has not been in place long enough for the soil to develop. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOVIES I _. T The exact boundary between the landfill and these flood plain materials is presently unknown. Precautions will be taken in constructing the portion of the ramp extending over landfill. The flat landfill surface, on which the road and parking area will lie, is smooth and grassy with underlying refuse commonly 12 to 18 feet thick. Although the land is still settling over the refuse, the road and parking area may be satisfactorily constructed on the landfill if they are graveled rather than asphalted. Land Use Sturgis Ferry Park is a large area (38 acres), only a small part of which will be occupied by the boat ramp and parking area (less than 1 acre). The park surface is flat and open, with only a few young tress and bushes scattered across the landscape. The existing land use and population density in the vicinity of Sturgis Ferry Park is shown in Exhibits 2 and 3. The City maintenance building lies at the northern end of park property, separated from the park open space by a fence. A dead-end road separates the narrow southern park boundary from highway commercial uses. A large industrial plant, Moore Business Forms, is located south of these uses. The Iowa City Municipal Airport is situated directly west across Highway 218 from Sturgis Ferry Park. Commercial uses and a few residences lie north of the airport. Across the river from the park lies a sand and gravel quarry, and south of this is a cement plant. Future plans are to retain most of Sturgis Ferry Park as park/open space. The exception is the far northern end of the park, immediately south of the maintenance garage. The City plans to build a Transit Facility and will need 300-400 feet south of the east/west fence line at the maintenance building to do so. Concerning the remainder of the park, Phase III of the Iowa River Corridor Study(8) proposes that the area be developed—as passiveopen space with strong emphasis on visual appeal. Passive activities are recommended for the park because of surface instability of the landfill. Visual appeal is emphasized because the park provides an exceptional long-range view of Iowa City, the Johnson County Courthouse, and the Iowa River as perceived from the major southern entrance to Iowa City. Because the proposed ramp and parking occupies only the narrow southern portion of the park, future use of the park would remain largely unrestricted. This site has the additional advantage of providing excellent visibility for the ramp from Highway 218, as the river and highway corridor run very close together at this point. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1101RES ul According to the 1978 Comprehensive Plan Map for Land Use, Trafficways, and Communit Facilities land use in the vicinity of Sturgis Ferry Parkis planned to remain basically as it is at the present time, with perhaps a greater emphasis on industry along the river south of the park. The proposed project is unlikely to influence land use in the vicinity of the project area. Project scale is small and the project site is located well within an existing park. 7. Flood Conditions Flood protection along the Iowa River is provided by the Coralville Dam and Reservoir. The Coralville Dam is located about four miles upstream from Iowa City and has been in use for flood control purposes since 1958. The Iowa City Flood Plain Management Ordinance (No. 77-2832) governs the type of development and use that may occur in flood -prone areas inside municipal boundaries. All lands located within the 100 -year flood plain are subject to these regulations. i The proposed project is located partially within the floodway, defined as the channel of a stream plus any adjacent flood plain areas which must be kept free of encroachment in order for the 100 -year flood to be carried without substantial increases in flood heights. Floodway Overlay Zone Regulations (Sect'.a 8.11.02.12A of the Flood _.. Plain Managment Ordinance) prohibit developments in the floodway that will result in any increase in flood levels in Iowa City during the 100 -year flood. Boat ramps, however, are specifically mentioned in paragraph B of the same section as a permitted use within the Floodway Overlay Zone. The boat ramp will have no effect on local flood heights. The access road and parking area will not be located in the floodway or flood plain. The 100 -year flood water surface elevation is approximately 642 feet above mean sea level (MSL) at this point (9), while the park surface on which j the parking would be situated is four feet higher at 046 MSL. (10) Roads and parking should not significantly affect the amount of run-off as a graveled surface allows ., good drainage. i -- The 100 -year floodplain in the vicinity of the proposed project site is shown in Exhibit 1. 8. Navigation The Iowa River is a fairly shallow stream obstructed by numerous man-made barriers. The U.S. Army Corps of All- .. - MICRON LRED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 14011JES W 9 Engineers has determined only a small part (3 miles) of the Iowa River to be a navigable waterway, that being a segment of river from its mouth in Louisa County to river mile 3.0 near Toolesboro, Iowa. The river in the vicinity of the boat ramp is especially shallow and suitable for.use only by fairly low horsepower motor boats and by canoes. The proposed project is not likely to interfere with the navigation of such water vehicles. 9. Transportation The proposed project may occasion a marginal increase in traffic near the project area. Roads in the vicinity of Sturgis Ferry Park (Highways 6, 1 and 218) are, however, four -lane arterials and should be able to accomodate such an increase. Because Highway 218 is four -lane, access to the project site from this highway will not disrupt the traffic flow. No impact on trafficways is expected during construction. 4.1 B. Biological Characteristics 1. Fish(11) Most species of fish that inhabit the Iowa River in the vicinity of the Coralville Reservoir are present at the ramp site at some time or another. A list of dominant fish species is given in Exhibit 4. The fish population is not likely to be adversely affected by ramp construction or by its continued use. Should river access increase the amount of fishing that takes place in the area, it is probable that the fish population can support it. 2. Aquatic Life(12) The nature of the bottom substrate and the shifting of the sediment load prevents the establishment of major benthic biota in the Iowa River. No unique organisms inhabit the area. A discussion of project impacts is given in Section IV of this report. 3. Wildlife The proposed project area does not provide a valuable habitat for wildlife because of its proximity to urban development and its prior use as landfill. The grass surface of the landfill is periodically mowed, preventing this area from.being used for nest or as cover. The narrow margin between the landfill and river may serve as a habitat for some animal species. Predominant species probably consist of small animals such as squirrels, rabbits, racoons, and song birds.(13) FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOInES to 4. Vegetation The bulk of the project area was cleared of all vegetation prior to the time when it functioned as a landfill. The surface is now covered with grass, and trees and bushes have been planted in wide intervals across the landscape. The margin between the landfill and river is weed -covered with intermittant clusters of trees. The proposed ramp site is situated between two such clusters. 5. Threatened and Endangered Species The U.S. Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service was contacted to insure that the proposed project would have no impact on threatened and endangered species. Their response indicates that the project will not involve a listed endangered or threatened species, its habitat, or a critical habitat. A copy of their letter is included as Exhibit 6. 6. Wetland Areas Visual inspection reveals the absence of any wetland areas at or near the project site. C. Social and Economic Characteristics 1. Tax Base 1 _ Sturgis Ferry Park has long been under tax-exempt public ` ! ownership and the proposed project will therefore occasion I no loss of tax monies. Should there be any impact on surrounding property values, it would be in a positive direction and due primarily to project -induced increases in business. 2. Employment and Regional Growth As the project scale is small and self-operating, there should be little direct long-term impact on area employ- ment and regional growth. Construction activities will have a direct but temporary impact on area employment, and the additional maintenance — responsibilities associated with this project might require that one worker be added to the Parks and Recrea- tion Department staff. The project may also have a slight but positive impact on businesses in the vicinity of the ramp such as gasoline stations and fast food restaurants. The existing scales of operations of sports -related activities (such as fishing equipment sales and boat rentals) are probably adequate, however, to handle the demand associated with the boat ramp. it is assumed that most potential ramp users are already part of the clientele of these establishments. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RANDS -DES MONIES .-..' 11 3. Provision of Public Facilities and Services The boat ramp itself may be considered a public facility, but it will not utilize existing public facilities (schools, hospitals, utilities, sewers, etc.) nor require the provision of any additional facilities. In terms of public services, the ramp has both positive and negative aspects. These considerations are discussed in Section IV. 4. Food Production The proposed project area is located in an urbanized area. The area itself is not presently used for agricultural purposes and the proposed project will therefore take no land out of food production. 5. Historic and Archaeological Sites The Iowa State Historical Department, Division of Historic Preservation was contacted to ensure that the proposed project would disturb no historic or other cultural resources. Their response indicates the project will have no affect upon known historic or other cultural resources. A copy of this letter is included as Exhibit 5. 6. Aesthetics A boat ramp at Sturgis Ferry Park should not significantly detract from the overall attractiveness of the area and the launching of boats from this point should be compatible with park activities. IV. Pro.iect-Initiated Environmental Alterations and Impacts (Positive and Negative) A. Air Quality Project -related impacts on air quality are likely to arise from three sources: (1) the use of heavy equipment in the site preparation and during construction, (2) any increase in automobile and truck traffic that may be associated with ramp use, and (3) any increase in motor boat traffic. The use of heavy equipment will add automotive pollutants (particulates, nitrous -oxide and hydrocarbons) to the atmos- phere. This impact will be temporary only and largely localized within the project area. The nearest residences, located across Highway 218 from the far north end of Sturgis Ferry Park, are not expected to perceive this impact. Indirect, continuous impacts on air quality will arise to the extent that automobile/truck traffic increases as a result of the proposed project. Pollutants associated with the internal MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES HOLLIES 12 combustion engine will adversely affect air quality, but only marginally since the area is already heavily traveled. In addition, travel on gravel surfaces (the road and parking) is expected to generate dust, especially during extended periods of little or no rainfall. An increase in motor boat operation would also cause a marginal deterioration in air quality. B. Noise Level During construction activities, noises from heavy equipment will increase the existing noise levels. Duration of these higher noise levels will be short enough, and distance from project site great enough that exposure should not constitute a health hazard to the nearest residents. Use of this facility should not have a significant effect on noise levels in the project area. Concerning boat travel, Section 24.82 of the Iowa City Code requires the exhaust of any motor boat engine be "effectively muffled" and noise from these low horsepower boats is not likely to reach surrounding land uses. C. Surface Water Quality(14) Project impacts on surface water quality will be primarily those associated with ramp construction. As such, they will be localized and temporary. An increase in turbidity can be expected during this period and, depending on whether any dredging must be done, some sediment suspension may occur. Indirect impacts on surface water quality may occur if boat traffic increases as a result of ramp construction. Although 7 fishing boats are generally propelled by low horsepower motors, an increase in their number may be expected to have at least some adverse impact on water quality. Outboard motors increase turbidity, but as the river is naturally turbid, this impact should not be significant. An increase in boat traffic would also be accompanied by marginal increases in gas and oil pollutants. This impact is likewise expected to be minimal. Finally, the potential for gas and oil spills will increase with the number of boats on the river. i D. Soil Erosion The construction phase of this project may cause some sr,i I erosion and siltation to occur. These impacts will be temporary and localized. Attempts will be made to alleviate the severity of these problems by minimizing the amount of time the soil is left bare. Large quantities of rip rap placed around the ramp and seeding of the remaining cleared areas should prevent bank erosion from occuring once the project is complete.(15) Should the existence of a boat ramp occasion additional boat traffic, the length of river bank from the ramp site to the MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 110InES i 13 Burlington Street Dam may be affected. Any increase in bank erosion as a result of motor boat operation is expected to be minimal, however, compared to the effects of the often rapidly changing river levels and speed of the Coralville Dam. flow due to the operation of E.

Vegetation and Wildlife Professor Richard Bovbjerg of the Department of Zoology at the University of Iowa indicated that there should be no si cant effect on plant and animal life in the area due to the boat ramp.gnifi (17) Several expected minor impacts are discussed below. All vegetation in the immediate vicinity of the ramp site will be destroyed. This vegetation consists of weeds and one young softwood maple tree which is about two feet high. This t vegetation grows abundantly in the area and will continue to do so with or without the Project. type of remove only grass.

If the ramp does disturb a portion of their habitat, they can be expected to tolerate the intrusion with little or no loss of life. These species should also be able to tolerate a general increase in human activity in the area. G. Provision of Public Facilities and Services The proposed project will have a si the quality of public services gnificant positive effect on expressed in the 1978 ComprehensivedPja�oWt lsttheesidents, As City to promote energy con— sererI through the location oof public facilities, It is felt that the construction of a boat ramp in Iowa Cit with i water recreation further this goal by providing residents having to travel opportunity that can be reached without havingcurrentlyan extensive distance.

On the other hand, the City will be responsible for y maintenance services. providing* periodic. ramp MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS.DCs 'IRIDES a' 14 H. Aesthetics The parking area near the boat ramp will be a temporarily unattractive site as viewed from the surrounding area. Al- though tree plantings around the parking area will serve to buffer the unsightliness of parked cars from the remainder of the park and from vehicular traffic on Highway 218, the buffer will not be effective until the trees have grown sufficiently tall. Litter is always recognized as being a potential problem near recreational facilities. This impact can be minimized by providing litter barrels in the project area and by providing periodic grounds maintenance services. I. Community Identity/Quality of Life The proposed project should have a significant positive impact on the sense of community identity/quality of life in Iowa City. The boat ramp will provide one means by which the recreational, scenic, and historic potential of the Iowa River may be realized. This project should be recognized as an important contribution to Iowa City as it will in effect convert this river segment between the Burlington Street Dam and the southern city limits into an area that can be actively used and enjoyed. The project should also increase general public awareness and appreciation of the Iowa River as an environmental amenity that adds value to the entire area. V. Steps Planned to Minimize Adverse Impacts i A. Air Quality The gravel road and parking area will be periodically treated -' with oil to keep the dust down. V B. Soil Erosion 1. The amount of time the soil is left bare will be minimized by placing a time limit on the period allowed for construction. 2. Rip rapping will be placed around the ramp and on the bank cut. 3. The remainder of the cleared area will be seeded or planted with crown vetch. 4. Construction will take place during a period of low river flow.

Litter barrels will be provided in the project area and the grounds will be maintained periodically. VI. Alternatives Considered. A. Alternate Locations. The project site was selected after a careful evaluation of four possible ramp locations. The three sites that were not selected are listed below together with a discussion of their advantages, drawbacks, and reasons for rejection. 1. Sturgis Corner. Sturgis Corner is located along Riverside Drive (Highway 218) on the west bank of the Iowa River and immediately north of the Highway 6 By-pass. The developer of this parcel of land promised to give to the City a 45-50 foot easement next to the river. Largely because of its proximity to the Burlington Street Dam area, this site was believed to be an ideal location for the boat ramp and parking area. This site was in fact selected and the proposal was approved by the Iowa City City Council. Consultants were hired to design the ramp and parking area. This site was subsequently rejected when the consultants reported the Sturgis Corner site to be physically incap- able of accommodating more than five car/trailer parking spaces. It was agreed that five spaces would provide an insufficient amount of parking for river users. (Accord- ing to the Iowa State Conservation Commission 20 spaces is the minimally acceptable amount of parking for a facility of this type.) In addition to the parking deficiency, the project would have resulted in considerable loss of vegetation, and project costs would have run significantly over budget. The possibility of purchasing additional land for parking from the developer was investigated, however, the de- veloper was not interested in selling only a portion of any one lot. Purchase of an entire parcel was ruled out because of the high cost involved; from $100,000 to $250,000. 2. Pollution Control Plant. (Sewage Treatment Plant) The Pollution Control Plant is located almost directly across the river from the Sturgis Corner site and shares MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS.DES MOIIICs 16 with that site the advantage of proximity to the Burling- ton Street Dam area. However, a large number of drawbacks are associated with the site which together formed the basis for its rejection. These include aesthetics, ramp proximity to the outflow point, and problems associated with City liability and plant security. Although these problems would disappear when operations are discontinued at this site, (in approximately five years upon completion of a new facility south of the existing site), there are some additional problems unrelated to plant operation. These include primarily the necessity of removing existing improvements on the plant grounds in order to construct the ramp and parking at the site. This work would have increased the project cost substantially. 3. Napoleon Park. Napoleon Park is located off of Sand Road on the east bank of the Iowa River approximately 3/4 mile down stream from Sturgis Ferry Park. Its primary advantage as a project site is its natural attractiveness. The major drawback associated with Napoleon Park is its distance from the Burlington Street Dam fishing area. Time and fuel costs of both river and roadway travel would be highest by this alternative and the site would probably be too far away to be used for rescue operations. A boat ramp at this site would therefore provide only a partial solution to the project objectives. B. Parking Only. Consideration was given to the alternative of providing only a parking area near the Burlington Street Dam area. Bank fish- ermen currently have only limited opportunity to park close to the river and are frequently ticketed by the University for u1 parking in unauthorized areas. This alternative was rejected at the present time because it would not accomplish a primary project objective: to provide direct access to the river for boats, an opportunity which does not currently exist anywhere along the Iowa River within the Iowa City city limits. Construction of a boat ramp at Sturgis Ferry Park would not rule out the possibility of providing parking near the Burlington Street Dam for bank fishermen at some point in the future. C. No Action. Under the alternative of no action, opportunities for Iowa City residents to utilize the river as a recreational, visual, and historic resource would remain limited. This alternative wat, rejected because to do nothing would prevent the river from MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES IIOIIIES 17 achieving its potential as an integral part of Iowa City community life.

Site Visit and Comments — On-site inspection of the proposed project site indicates that the area is well suited for a boat ramp, parking area, and access road. The general topography of the — river bank at this point makes ramp construction entirely feasible, and the flat landfill surface appears to be ideal for a graveled road and parking area. The specific nature of the site and the area surrounding it will permit the construction of the project with little disturbance of the i natural or human environment. 1 -� Marianne Milkman iPlanner, Dept.

Because of the nature of the project there is no alternative to construc- tion in the flood plain. This River Corridor improvement does conform to applicable state and local flood plain protection standards. The alternative of not constructing the boat ramp has been considered by the City of Iowa City and is discussed in the Environmental Review Record prepared for this project. This Environmental Review Record is on file at the above address and is available for public examination and copying upon request.

Offenders of sexual abuse do not discriminate because of race, religious beliefs, life- styles, economic class or age. "All of my life 1 have concerned about the safety of my daughters and now my granddaughters .... I never thought that it could happen to me. But it did." victim, age 65 Sexual abuse takes many fors, from the obscene phone call to the violent rape. The effects of violation and the expression of hostility toward women often leave us feeling afraid and helpless. "1 finally got a job in my field. Soon my boss started making sexual advances and it finally was bad enough that I had to quit. 1 still feel a lot of anger about that and 1 don't even know what to do to prevent it from happening again." victim, age 31 We are taught to believe that we need protection from men and by men. In reality, however, our safety depends on our protecting ourselves and each other. "He seemed like a nice guy. Then he suddenly changed. 1 felt betrayed. 1 told him that there was no way I could fight him off, but if he raped me I would report him later and take him to court. He finally just took me home. Luckily 1 told my friends about him, because he asked one of them out just one week later." victim, age 16 The RAPE VICTIM ADVOCACY PROGRAM is a victim support group staffed by volunteers as varied as the women who need our services. We believe that women can stop sexual abuse. Helping each other in a time of crisis Is the very first step. Q THE RAPE VICTIM ADVOCACY PROGRAM As women, we are all potential victims of sexual assault; we are all vulnerable. But with the support of other women, we can begin to destroy this vulnerability and protect ourselves from the crisis of sexual abuse. Together we can survive the crises that occur despite our efforts. The RAPE VICTIM ADVOCACY PROGRAM exists for these reasons, and the women who staff the program can assist you in many ways. ADVOCACY — Emergency Advocates are trained in all the medical and legal pro- cedures Involved in sex crimes. It is important for any woman who chooses to report an incident or request a medical examination to have with her an advocate who can help her through these often difficult procedures. An advocate can tell the victim what to expect, point out her alternatives, answer her questions, and Insure that she is treated with sensitivity and dignity. All of the hospitals and police departments recog- nize that the advocate is providing an important service to the victim and to the community. SUPPORT — We are just learning to fight the isolation that we have experienced as women and as victims. Advocates who staff the Rape Crisis Line are committed to breaking this isolation and providing support to victims of sexual assualt, to family or friends of the victim, and to all women as potential victims. Taking advantage of this support does not indicate weakness. It shows awareness and a willingness to break through our isolation and utilize our strength. INFORMATION — One of the things we can do together to prevent further attacks is share information. By providing the RVA Program with descriptions, locations and the pattern of attacks, you are helping to distribute the facts to your community and helping us to warn other women. Anonymity is always guaranteed. Not all victims choose to report Incidents to the police. We support the right of victims to make the choices which are best suited to them. The advocate will ask permission to file a third -party report—anonymity Is still guaranteed and confidentiality Is always respected. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110IIIEs • (a) TAKING ACTION Recognizing that you need to be concerned about your own safety and that of others is one of the most positive actions you can take. Being aware of where you are at all times and of the people around you decreases the odds that you can be surprised by an attacker. Act on your suspicions. Never be afraid of appearing paranoid or silly. Immediate responses to suspicious incidents and people will lower the chances of your being violated in any way. Use only your initial in the phone book and on your mailbox. Encourage male friends and family to do the same. If you are coming home late, leave the front porch lights on. If your area is particularly dark, light the way for other women by leaving this light on all night. Increase women's visibility by walking the high-risk areas with a group of friends at night. Like other crimes, sexual abuse Is a crime of opportunity. Dark and vacant streets provide opportunities for attack. If you witness something suspicious occurring, call the police immediately. Try to be as clear as possible about the location. Let your City Councilperson know if you feel lighting is Inadequate in your neighborhood. Support the Rape Victim Advocacy Program by writing or calling your City Council - person, Johnson County Supervisor or Student Senator. All our funding comes from these three sources. It Is Important for us to communicate with each other about sexual abuse. We may tum to other women after an attack, but we also need to discuss with friends our feelings, Ideas and concerns before then. Many Incidents can be prevented. Being prepared to deal with something before It hap- pens will decrease the chances of being harmed or seriously Injured. Know your capa- bilities but also recognize your limitations. ft IF YOU ARE ATTACKED, REMEMBER ... Get to a safe place Immediately. Call a friend or the Rape Crisis Line for support. You should have someone with you to help you clarify your needs and to help you make some decisions. You will have to decide whether or not you are going to notify the police. If you decide to do so, a report should be made as soon as possible. A medical examination is recommended. This is important for your own well-being and is necessary for legal reasons. Evidence will be collected and retained If you should go to court. Do not bathe, douche, or change your clothes. Bring a change of clothing with you— the police will want the clothing that you were wearing at the time of the incident. (An advocate can also provide you with a change of clothing.) You do not have to deal with this alone. Advocacy and support are available to assist you through the crisis. Very few women need long-term counseling after being sexually victimized If their needs are met adequately during the crisis. The RAPE CRISIS LINE is a 24-hour service. Advocates are contacted through an answering service and will respond immediately. Information calls and requests for the Speakers Bureau are handled during the RVA Program's regular office hours, which are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. SPEAKERS BUREAU — We have a variety of presentations, films and videotapes available for use to classes, organizations, groups and services. For young adults we have a special workshop on ACQUAINTANCE RAPE PREVENTION, which Includes a series of four films. Several times a year we also offer a comprehensive workshop entitled NOBODY'S VICTIM: A Workshop on Self -Protection. Special consulting and training programs are also available. Contact the coordinator of the RVA Program for more Information. INFORMATION — The RVA Program maintains a RESOURCE LIBRARY on Sexual Abuse. Periodicals, books, and other assorted literature are available for public use. Special handouts are also available upon request.

The population levels at the Johnson County Boys Group Homes the Iowa City Girls Group Home, and the Youth Emergency Shelter has de- creased dramatically since September 1st. This is in part due to the inception of the new Juvenile Justice Code on July 1st of this year, The reasons for this dramatic decline are not clear as it seems that there are still children in the community who could benefit from our services, Some factors involved in the reduced population are the new Juvenile Justice Law and the present policies of the Department of Social Services in providing services to children who are not under the Juvenile Justice Law, This has led to a statewide situation of re- duced populations in group home facilities and shelter cares. Although there are no guarantees, we believe that within a few months the situation will change so that referrals will again be made to Youth Homess Inc. However, we cannot continue to operate until that time without some additional financial assistance. We have approached the county Board of Supervisors for some emergency funding and we hope to learn of their decision on Wednesday, November 21st. We have also accepted a request to provide group home services to un- escorted adolescents who are presently in refugee camps in Southeast Asia, We have agreed to accept initially six (6) which will be made up of two (2) brother and sister pairs and two (2) single male adoles- cents. These children will be placed in our Youth Emergency Shelter facility which is presently unoccupied, Youth Homes will receive com- pensation as part of its regular Title XX contract with the Department of Social Services and will be governed by the same contract agreements as is found for local children. We see this s,4r•rice as adding to our financial stability due to the long-term nature o,: refugee problems as well as the overwhelming number of adolescents presently in the camps, Youth Homes will not obtain financial benefit from placement of these children due in part to the payment schedule of the Department of Social Services but also to the fact that it will take from two (2) to six (6) weeks for the placement of these adolescents, until the end of January. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 410IIIES am l The Iowa City Council November 16, 1979 Page 2 I Our request to Iowa City is that Youth Homes be allowed to receive now, rather than on January 1, 1980, the second portion of our eight thou- sand dollar ($8000.00) allotment granted to this agency by the Council. This will help us to maintain our financial situation during this period of time in which we are waiting for placements as well as pay- ment for services. Please find enclosed written material and tables which defines our po- sition, our future operating potentials, and other material pertinent to this situation.

All nations depend on others for capital and technology, food and fuel, markets and supplies. They fight for them with the ferocity of wars for reli- gion and empire. And some adapt to the realities of a competitive, resource -hun- gry, interdependent world, and maintain relatively high employment and stable prices. But they all depend on the U.S., for It is the .great locomotive force of the world economy.... So perhaps it is not out of place lo'ask where America is going. It is a rich, powerful, and good cotm- try. It Is not the victim of fete. It has the capita, the technology, the human resources, and the arms. It could pick up wbere It left off and bring some order to the world and its own disturbed affairs. But something changed our politics in the years that followed the early '8os, when it was still a privilege of wise men to serve their country. Our leaders failed, and, instead of re- acting to American history, we reacted to Its aberration — the failure of leaders to lead. We reacted to the abuses of govern- BEST DOCUMENT AYA U AByE ment the ends of government. Public officials created self-adjusting mecha. nisms to make all the right decisions with no discomfort for anyone and least of all themselves. Thus, we have sunset and sunshine laws, a Department of Education, a Flumphrey-flawkins law, ethics and for- eign corruption laws, a bill to make all government regulations presumptively invalid. We have a Proposition 17 and a Proposition 4 and constitutional amend. ments. We have mobilization boards, presidential councils on regulations, pa• perwork commissions. We have regula. tions of the regulations and bureaucra. cies to oversee the bureaucracies. We have an Energy Department, but no en- ergy policy. - The preoccupation with method became an excuse for doing nothing. Never has nothing been done so systematically as nothing has been done in recent years. And the world does not wail. This preoccupation with method came to dominate our politics and political parties. The civil rights battles of the '008 gave way to an egalitarian ethic of the '70s — and out went some old ideas about individual freedom and excellence In government, In came quotas and re- verse discrimination. In the name of citizen participation, cal process — and so were the wise men. We may have contrived a political process which only the unfitted can sur. vive. The United Stales could lead a global effort to increase the production of food and fuel. It could begin the huddling of a monetary system with a reliable unit of value and facilities to finance. yment deficits and development. It could eelarya the basis for collective security in the West. It could enlarge its security: with cost effective weapons system#,; H, In. dustrial strategy for the '80s, an export strategy, a new commitment to indus• trial innovation as the best means of ' increasing productivity. It could recog• nize new sources of authority, including control of the world's supply and price of food. We are drifting Into the '80s with re- organization plans, budget cuts for everything except the military, and double digit incept rates, always cop - tag with gymploms instead of the phe. nomena Which gave rise to them, buying time — but time for what?

C6 0-' cb NEWSLETTER for Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood STATUS OF SMALL CITIES PROJECT Acquisition - Phase I The Iowa City City Council formally approved the acquisition of properties needed for the Small Cities project during the Council meeting of October 9, 1979. This action is the first step of federal acquisition procedures. Owners of property to be acquired during Phase I of the project have received "Preliminary Acquisition Notices" and have been informed that their property would be inspected for appraisal purposes. Properties will be inspected and appraisals prepared by Iowa Appraisal & Research Corporation of Des Moines. After appraisals have been completed, they will be reviewed by a second appraiser, values will be established, and purchase offers made. Purchase offers for Phase I acquisitions will be made by April 1, 1980. For additional information concerning property acquisition for the project, contact Michael Flaherty of the Department of Planning and Program Development. Phone 354-1800, Ext. 324. Relocation Plan Relocation of residents and businesses displaced by the Small Cities project will be coordinated with property acquisition. A relocation plan for the project has been prepared by the staff of the Department of Planning and Program Development. This plan is the initial step in the relocation process and is intended to specify the actions to be taken and the standards to be used for relocation, as well as the resources that will be available to those who are displaced. The relocation plan and other relocation information is available from the Department of Planning and Program Development, Davis Building, 332 E. Washington Street, or contact Susan Sandro, 354-1800, Ext. 312. CITIZEN INFORMATION AND INPUT Second Year Application Process Although first year activities of the Small Cities project have just begun, it is necessary to begin the application process for the second year of the project. The Department of Housing and Urban Development has tentatively approved Iowa City's Small Cities project for three years, however, the City must submit an application for each year's funding. This annual application process includes receiving public input for the proposed activities.

SFD LGS/cf I r I i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES V _. To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the Iowa Cit;; Council: In our discussions about the parking situation during a declared snow emcreency, Mr. Plaetion acid I tried to list those thins on which we agree and those on which we disagree. 1. We are definitely agreed th-at installing additional signs to the existing si;;ns would be absolutely impossible. There would be so much wrong with such a plan that it would be utterly unworkable. 2. We agree that the through streets of Sheridan Ave. and Center Ave. are even, and that the cross= streets Dearborn, Rundell St. north of Sheridan, Grant Street and Clark Street north of the tracks are even too, all as shown by the posted signs. And that the two blocks of Rundell Strrct north of Sheridan are wide and will automaticalV change to calendar parking when a snow emergency is declared. 3. We are agreed that if a snow emergency had been declared for today (Nov. 18) tkxt parking- would be permitted on one side of Sheridan Avenue, Center Avenue, Dearborn Street, Rundell Street north of Sheridan, Grant St. and on Clark StreetLAiftet 8 A.M. tomorrow. (an odd day) no parking would be permited on either side of any of those six streets after 8 A.M. because all of those streets are posted as even. And: -as long as the snow emerLency was in effect, no vehicle would be permitted bn any of those cix,streets. 4. We are agreed thatiuf the "No Parking at :.ny Time" sine were, moved from the vuest side,of Dearborn Street, lundell Street south of Sheridan, Grant Street and Clark Street north of the: tracks to theeast side of those streets, then when a snow emergency was declared, p_rking would be permitted on one side of all of those cross -streets on odd days, and on Sheridan Sve.. and Center Avenue on even days. Under this plan parking would be available seven days a week either on an east and west street or on a north and south one. Thai is the way the signs E.rc c..orted in Towncrest. Wayne Avenue is even, and apparently all of the cross-utreets are odd. 5. We are agreed) that the proper way to clear both sides of streets aafter a snow storm is to clear -the through streets of cars one day, and Clear then off of the cross-etrects the next relay. But we dir>::r-rae ns to how this should br: done. I contend that thio should be done by the 1,roper use of the posted "tio Farking at any time signs".. All the is needed is to have the through Streets even and the crors-streets. odd -;for vicenversa. Mr. Plastino wants to use temporary "No Parking" p c:er signs to t -et the vehtihcdl.es off some of the ctrrctc ox�soma CSbkv :rvrr, .xtx rnre�Hey anH off some of other streets on following-. drys. After the exLericnco t�,:.� come nni0iborhoods hdd with paper signs we don't want to be deviled with any- thinL like that. It could br nothing but a bis; headache for the citizens and for the Council members who would have the job of listening to the complaints. It could be another harvest for the Police Department and the operatorc of the tow -trucks, ani we don't need :,ny more of that. And it would be so unnecessary tr hen the same thing could be done better by having the perm°nont "tIo parking" cigns placed on the proper :•ide of e:a: street. T am 10010 opposed to 6'r. Plastino's proposal that all reference to r.trretr with one r,i..e •:rkin, ;;ro?:ibition br rtriken from the Snoia F;mer- g ency Ordinance. That would mean removing Paragraphs 3 and 4 from the 2mergency Ordinance, and that would be unthinkable. It would be like -iving a. city department a signed blank check, wt:ich v{yuld r,ertait all kinds of experimentation in connection with snow removal. We don't want uwthinr, like that. BBST DOCUMENT AVAI1-joll, FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 1101IIES 2196 ., a ' a Council, Page 2. 11-18-1979. My proposal is the same as it always hat been, and that ir that your Honorable Body please instruct the staff to move the "No ParMnga signs from the west side to the east side of the follor:ing streets: All of Dearborn Street, Rundell Street south of Sheridan, all of Grant Street and all of Clark Street north of the Rockland tracks. (On Oakland Avenue and on Summit Street the signs are already on the east side of those two streets.) i If this is done, then during a snow emergency parking will be nermited on the east vand west'streets on even days and on the north and south streets on odd days. This would no d)ubt take c%rc of the d -y -time parking; needs. rind would permit the snoe- to be cosily removed from both aides of all of the streets in the area. And,11r. bfaypr ane Memb:rs of the Council, PLEASE do not even consider deleting Paragraphs 3 and 4 from the Snow Emergency Orinance. Those are well written paragraphs and we, on the streets with one side parking, will need them for our information and protection when and if a snow emergency is declared. 1530 Sheridan Avenufj MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES NOV1 91919 ABBIE STOLFLI CITY CLERK MICROFILMED Bi JORM MICROLAB F, City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM DATE: November 16, 1979 TO: City Council FROM: City Manager RE: Informal Agendas and Meeting Schedule November 19 1979 Monday 1:30 - 5:00 P.M. 1:30 P.M. - Review zoning applications 1:45 P.M. - Council agenda, Council time, and Council committee reports 2:15 P.M. - Labor Protection Provision in City Contracts - City Attorney 2:45 P.M. - City owned public housing sites - Lyle Seydel 3:10 P.M. - Contract amendment/Standby Time - Public Works and Human Relations 3:30 P.M. - Executive session - Collective bargaining and pending litigation November 20 1979 Tuesday 7:30 P.M. - Regular Council Meeting - Council Chambers November 26 1979 Monday NO INFORMAL MEETING November 27 1979 Tuesday NO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING December 3 1979 Monday 1:30 - 5:00 P.M. 1:30 P.M. - Review zoning applications 2:00 P.M. - Council agenda, Council time, and Council committee reports 2:30 P.M. - Transit Schedules and Rates - Public Works 3:30 P.M. - Spruce Street Drainage - Public Works 4:00 P.M. - Consider appointments to the Riverfront Commission, Board of Appeals, Board of Electrical Examiners and Appeals, Board of Examiners of Plumbers, Senior Center Commission, Housing Commission and Board of Adjustment December 4, 1979 T 7:30 P.M. - Regular Council Meeting - Council Chambers PENDING ITEMS Northside Study Area Transportation Study Discuss Major City Projects Streetscape Phase II -B Volunteer Assistance Program (Slides) Airport Commission Funding Request Undergrounding of Services in CBD Appointments: Resources Conservation Commission, Committee on Community Needs, Board of Adjustment, and Human Rights Commission (December 11) Resources Conservation Commission (January B) MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RANDS•DES 1101RES ...'
