Young STAFF PRESENT: Paul Bowers, Glenn Siders, Mike Kucharzak, Neal Berlin, Irene Shima OTHERS PRESENT: Twenty-five people consisting of Master, Journeyman, and Apprentice Electricians and other interested public. Meeting called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Turner. Motion made for approval of minutes (Oct. 17, 1979) by Chairman Turner; seconded by Mr. Flannery. Lengthy discussions involving licensed electricians and those interested in electrical work. Audience was asked for views on licensing required with the City - City Code, Section 11-41, and views on whether a licensed master or journeyman should be on the job at all times while electrical work is in progress. Comments were made by local electricians indicating instances where a licensed master or journeyman were neither found on the job. More discussion on "Who signs the permit?", "Does he have insurance coverage?", "Who is responsible?", "Must he carry insurance with the City?", "Should two people sign the permit?", "Is the City held responsible if the house burns down?", etc. Mr. Kucharzak indicated that the Staff would be happy to refer any problems to the Legal Department for interpretation and report back in writing to the Board regarding responsibilities of signing permits and answering questions regarding carrying insurance with the City. Discussion on policy and code was welcomed regarding the City's position with required inspections - rough -in and final and "surprise"; City needs more clarification on its enforcement position. Shall we investigate each trade person on that job to be sure if they maintain a license of some sort? City indicated a willingness to follow any direction of the Council and the Board. More discussion on policy and code and additional questions with comparison of City of Cedar Rapids electrical trade people. Discussion favored having a licensed man on the job at all times. Suggestion was to enforce code as written; when the inspector goes out to a site and a licensed person is not there, leave an inspection card, date it, and indicate time of arrival on site. A telephoned response from a licensed electrician must be given to the electrical inspector within two hours of the inspection indicating that a licensed electrician is now at the job site. A re -inspection would follow. Mr. Flannery made a motion to leave Section 11-41 as written. Seconded by Mr. Young. Flannery - aye, Turner - aye, Young - aye. � 147 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES F More concern in the discussion involving homeowners being exempt from license requirements. Additional comments were made on the electrician's examination for journeymen, the re -inspection fee of $10.00, homeowner's qualifications, and the fifteen question exam for a journeyman. Mr. Kucharzak pointed out the legality in the code; possible changes in the exam, and enforcement could be tightened up in some fashion - or have a variety of tests. A suggestion was made that homeowners would need an affidavit to obtain permit. The affidavit would indicate that the applicant was the owner and he/she makes his/her residence there and would assume all risks for the wiring. Motion made by Mr. Flannery to leave article as is and that we add to it that the City would require an affidavit (signed by homeowner) which, in fact, says the homeowner does live in the house and that he is going to do the work and would be liable. Seconded by Mr. Turner. Flannery - aye, Turner - aye, Young - aye. More discussion on the journeyman's license and residential license. Motion made by Mr. Flannery that the City send out a Questionnaire for opinions from other contractors regarding residential wiremen. Mr. Siders agreed to do so in the near future, Mr. Kucharzak indicated the need for a mailing list and stated that we will prepare the Questionnaire; mail Questionnaire to all licensed contractors, and would request that they consider disseminating the Questionnaires to their employees. The City will also provide copies of the Questionnaire to the Cedar Rapids code people to ask them to make them available at their permit counter. Copies of the Questionnaire will be dropped at local supply houses. We could experiment for several weeks and have some response for the next meeting which would be held in thirty days or so. A local electrician reported he put an application into Cedar Rapids to get a Cedar Rapids license sixty days ago; no response from them. Mr. Turner will investigate this problem when he goes to Cedar Rapids next week. Mr. Turner indicated that there has been a great deal of controversy with the Plan Check and Permit Applications and he made his request for input from the audience. Comments were made about permit fees. Mr. Kucharzak explained the fees generated and projected revenues. More discussion on the number of trips made for inspections and the difference in prices of fixtures. Mr. Kucharzak recalled that the original complaint was that if the commercial formula would be used against large apartment complexes it would cost more than the residential rate. The City welcomed early discus- sion in this regard to help in making fee recommendations to the Council; this usually takes place the first of the year. More concerns and questions were raised about permits being taken out and who should sign; contractor or master signs permit in the firm's name, or whether we need affidavit. Board is concerned with unlicensed contractors coming into Iowa City and getting the permit and doing the work. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES 3 There was a lengthy discussion about licenses; the license should be kept current; also indicate what firm is represented. Suggestions were made regarding time limit for taking tests, i.e. four years for apprenticeship before you can apply. Mr. Kucharzak indicated that if a motion was made to change that section of code, the Staff could start the amendment process immediately. Mr. Flannery made the motion in order to apply for the journeyman licensed test, you must have four years of experience or the equivalent and have proof of this at the time you apply to take the test. Staff will prepare code amendment for Board review. Seconded by Turner. Flannery - aye, Turner - aye, Young - nay. Several items left on the agenda. Comments indicated the meeting was advan- tageous and they would like to see more contractors present for the next meet- ing which will be held in approximately three weeks (but not the first or third Wednesday of the month). In summarizing the meeting events, Mr. Kucharzak pointed out the follow-up responsibilities of the Board and Staff: 1. On the item of licensed journey- man being on the job at all times, we are to leave language as written and the staff will provide the procedure in writing to the Board which says a call-back must be made two hours after the written notice is placed on the job site. i Later if it is decided that no change is necessary, the notice may not be needed. 2. Regarding the homeowner's permit -- keep the exam as is, however an affidavit must be provided that the person lives in the residence for which he is applying for electrical permit, is going to do the work his or herself f and is not employing anyone from the outside and assumes all liability. 3. questionnaire will be sent to all contractors licensed by the City re- garding the position on a residential journeyman's license; the City will em- phasize the master electrician's mailing list and will try to enlist some help from the City of Cedar Rapids in the questionnaire distribution. 4. The City will contact the City of Cedar Rapids and investigate the licensing and reci- procity on licenses that have been outstanding. 5.

REQUESTS TO THE CITY MANAGER The RCC requested information from the City Manager concerning what provisions are being made for increased bicycle and moped traffic in downtown Iowa City. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN Hotka called the meeting to order. Gormezano moved, Bolnick seconded, to approve the minutes of November 8, 1979, as read. Approved unanimously. Shepherd moved, Singer seconded, that the RCC postpone the discussion of the lighting issue and that the Citizens for Better Lighting be contacted to invite them to present their report to the RCC. Approved unanimously. Zoning Urgina nce/bolar mccess anu cneruy �unaerva�,vu, j Steve Carter, City Intern I i Steve Carter reported that he was preparing a needs analysis in addition to the ordinance. As he is now formulating the ordinance, the solar access provision in the Zoning Ordinance would not provide blanket solar access. Rather each property owner desiring to guarantee their solar access would need to file for an easement with a local board or commission. The easement would be granted if there are no existing buildings or trees. The ordinance would not apply retroactively to existing developed areas with buildings and/or trees. If someone wanted to install a solar collector in a developed area, they would need to contract with their neighboring property owners to secure their solar access. The Commissioners asked that an investigation be made to determine if there have been legal cases dealing with solar access. Solar Grant Applications Tinklenberg reviewed the four grant applications. The Commissioners felt that the grant award criteria should be spelled out specifically prior to the proposal review and grant award process. a►9� MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES Resources Conservation Commission November 15, 1979 Page 2 Bolnick moved, Singer seconded, to place the solar grant applications on the next meeting's agenda. Approved unanimously. Goals and Objectives -Energy Audit: Hotka suggested that the City maintenance people conduct mini audits on their own immediately. -Building Code: It was pointed out that code requirements for continual fresh air intake even when the building is unoccupied is excessive. This item should be looked at further. The Commissioners also asked if there are any major changes in the 1979 Uniform Building Code from the 1976 edition and if there is a rotating copy of the 1979 Code available for the Commission to review. Hotka asked why the plans for the new vehicle maintenance building were not presented to the RCC. He was concerned because it would have been better to have had a direct fired heater for the 100% makeup air and radiant heaters for the normal heating load rather than the unit heaters which were installed. A direct fired heater would have been 20 percent more efficient. Radiant heaters would have given an additional 10 to 20 percent improved efficiency. RCC Representation on Other rites r mm;«: . --J - The Commissioners felt that communication could be maintained by receiving other commissions' agendas and by informally visiting their meetings. Bolnick moved, Singer seconded, that the RCC table this item. Approved unanimously. Earth Sheltered Homes Seminar Report Tinklenberg's report was not ready. Senior Center Plan Review Hotka reported that Denniger and he as well as staff members Benz, Meisel, and Tinklenberg had reviewed the Senior Center plans with the architect. He stated that the building is terrible to work with and is a challenge for the architect to redesign. Suggestions were made concerning the power to be used for lighting, the use of reheat coils on the air conditioner system, the use of boiler water for domestic hot water heating, the use of hot water boosters for the dish washer, the lack of insulation in the walls, and the reclamation of heat from MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RANDS -DES ?JO111Es ., n Resources Conservation Commission November 15, 1979 Page 3 the lights and kitchen exhaust. He reported that the architectural firm was going to take these comments under advisement and that they appear to be very receptive to suggestions. Other Business Singer reported that he had met with the ad-hoc committee working on the childhood education program. They decided to postpone any events until the first or second week of March. They will bus the third graders downtown to the Recreation Center where there will be displays and things to do for the children. Housing Code - Legal Staff Report: The only limitations in the Code are for lighting and ventilation and there are no restrictions on garden homes (two homes with a common wall) in the Minimum Housing Code. Presently the Zoning'Code does have minimum side lot requirements which would affect garden homes. However, these provisions will be eliminated from some zones in the proposed Zoning Code. Bikeways Plan and Report: Bolnick moved, Singer seconded, that the RCC request information from the City Manager concerning provisions being made for increased bicycle and moped traffic in downtown Iowa City. Approved unanimously. Bolnick moved, Shepherd seconded, that the RCC heartily endorse the concept of a bikeways system in Iowa City and urge careful consideration of the Iowa City Bikeways Plan and Report. Approved unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 7:15 PM. Respectfully submitted, Roger Tinklenberg. James Shepherd, Secretary.

It was pointed out that new appointments to the Commission by City Council would now be made on December 4, not November 27, 1979. The minutes were approved as corrected. Committee Reports: Planning 4 Zoning: Vetter and Milkman reported that the Planning and Zoning Commission had briefly discussed the River Corridor Overlay Zone regulations and had decided to defer further discussion until "aesthetic zoning" elements had been removed from the ordinance. Members of the Riverfront Commission were very concerned about this matter and discussed it with Richard Blum (Chairman PF,Z) at the end of the meeting. It became apparent that much of the problem was due to the Planning and Zoning Commissions reviewing the first rather than the third draft of the ordinance. Blum was also concerned about the apparently arbitrary definition of the river corridor in some areas. It was decided that the Riverfront Commission would review the revised draft once more and then meet jointly with the Planning and Zoning Commission to discuss the ordinance. The Commission also requested review by the City's Legal Staff as to the legality of parts of the ordinance. Parks 4 Recreation: Gilpin requested that minutes of Parks and Recreation meetings continue to be sent to him. Retiring Commissioners: Gilpin thanked Commissioners Fahr, Neuzil, Knight and Berry, whose terms expire in December, for their work on the Commission. Gilpin expressed particular appreciation to Sam Fahr for his efforts since 1974 as Commission chairman and member.

This would correct the statement on page 32 that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that Melrose Court be closed. Discussion of Eagle's Discount Supermarket's request to amend the Sign Ordinance. Commissioners requested staff assistance in exploring the amendment to the sign ordinance that would allow any facia signs to be attached to any structural part of a building that meets the City Building Code whether or not it extends above the roof line. Set a date for public discussion of the Bikeways Report and Plan. Jakobsen moved, and Lehman seconded, that a public discussion on the Bikeways Report and Plan be set for the December 6, 1979, meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Blum reported on the recent Riverfront Commission meeting that he had attended. lie indicated that because there seem to be two different draft copies of the River Corridor Overlay Zone the consensus of those attending the meeting was that Marianne Milkman put together a draft of the ordinance that will incorporate all the changes that the Riverfront Commission requested. Following a review of this draft, it was suggested that a joint meeting of the Riverfront Commission and the Planning and Zoning Commission be held to finalize the ordinance. The Commissioners asked that Mike Kucharzak be notified that the amendment to the C Zoning Ordinance regarding Rooming Ilouses will be considered at the Dcomber have s comments 6 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, and that they would like to hi prior to that time.

SPECIAL MEETING CITY MANAGER'S CONFERENCE ROOM MEMBERS PRESENT: Vetter, Jakobsen, Ogesen, Kammermeyer, Blum MEMBERS ABSENT: Lehman, Lundquist STAFF PRESENT: Schmeiser i The Commission held a special meeting to review the proposed new zoning ordinance. Specific sections reviewed included the "Airport Overlay Zones" and the "River Corridor Overlay" Zone. The "Airport Overlay Zones" were prepared consistent with the model ordinance constructed by the aeronautics division of the Iowa Department of Transportation. The Commission, therefore, made no revisions to the section. The Commission discussed the overall concept of the "River Corridor Overlay Zone" and questioned whether it should receive as high a priority for review as other parts of the zoning ordinance. Commissioners, nevertheless, resolved to review the zone in detail at a later date. Also questioned was the legality of certain portions of the ordinance, particularly with regard to what appeared to be aesthetic regulations. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned. i Prepared by Aald meiser, Senior Planner aao MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES tdoINES ,% 4 MINUTES OF THE HOUSING COMMISSION MEETING WEDNESDAY, November 7, 1979, - 3:30 P.M.

An experimental program such as this should not be sneaked in onr;a uninformed public. The record shows that after three readings at a very short Council meeting on November 6, the Council amended Ordinance No. 2550 by adopting Ordinance No. 79-2979• This was done on a night when no one should have asked you to vote on an important matter because it was election night and there were probably few, if MY,private citizens in the audience.

In his Memo. of November 2,Mr. Kucharzak writes: "Strict enforcement of :the code will result in hardship to property owners who, because of age or other infirmities are unable to. perform the task of removing the snow.This burden -will -be -especially difficult for elderly and disabled citizens who reside in.their own home and do not have able bodied family ,members,ortenants or the financial wherewithall.,to hire out this service."

The Council has set a public hearing to be held December 18, 1979, at 7:30 P.M., to receive public input regarding bus routes. Your letter and others which we have received regarding this route in particular will be taken into consideration when the final decisions are made. You are encouraged to attend this public hearing.

This route serves a previously unmet need. With its Denbigh - Sunset loop and path through the University hospital - V.A. Hospital complex, it provides transportation for those of us living on the southwest side and working at the medical center. As you may be aware I have been a vocal opponent of noise pollution, especially that caused by student flying. The buses, straining up the Denbigh hill are reasonably noisy, but I believe their benefit far outweighs the minor annoyance they cause. My house backs onto Denbigh and so I can hear the buses and am aware of the amount of noise they make. I would also like to commend the bus drivers for their courtesy to both the riders and to pedestrians, especially children. A "good morning" or "good night" are usual, upon entering or leaving the bus. My seven year old daughter reports to me that the bus waits for her to ctoss the street (Denbigh), even when she is on her bicycle or crossing in the middle of the block. In summary, then, I have been very pleased by the new bus route and hope it will be continued, perhaps Even expanded. In this time of real fuel shortage and potential severe fuel restrictions I think we all can be expected to make minor sacrifices for the community good. The small amount of noise made by the Mark IV bus is not excessive in view of the significant number of people who now ride the bus because of the Denbigh loop. Most of these people did not ride the West Benton route. Ii Since ly yours, I E Since H.

At the current time a crossing guard pro- vides some protection. The effectiveness of that position varies with personnel employed. It is our understanding that it has been proposed in order to meet budgetary constraints that crossing guards near Junior highs be eliminated. Although we are aware that there are not firm plans for such reduction, we are aware that this is an expressed alternative. Leaving that intersection unprotected in any way is, in our considered opinion, unthinkable. At that intersection: 1. First Avenue converts from four lanes into two. 2. Two bike paths terminate at this intersection. 3. At the beginning and end of the students', day, access to First Avenue from Bradford Drive is difficult. 4. The left turning pattern on Bradford as well as First Avenue is difficult. 5. A large number of students coming to and going from school use the crossing. 6. There is heavy cyclists use of the intersection. 7. Access from the school's parking lot onto First Avenue would be difficult without a break in the flow of traffic. We feel that your consideration to remove the safety guard at First and Bradford is not a viable alternative.to meet budget 2501 BRADFORD DRIVE IOWA CITY, IOWA 52240 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOfRES DND#U1 91979 ABBIE STOLFUS TE LEPHGO(3PAN242 U kr W -2- constraints. -It is our understanding that a traffic count at that location will take place in early December while school is in session in order to access if there is a need for a traffic light.

The City of Iowa City proposes to amend the FY80 CDBG Budget by allocating FY79 carryover funds and projects to FY80, the period ending June 30, 1980. Information concerning this amendment is available for public inspection in the Office of the City Clerk, Iowa City Civic Center, during normal business hours. Citizens may comment at the December 4 public hear- ing or submit written comments to the Office of the City Clerk until that date. Dated this 19th day of November, 1979. ABBIE STOLFUS City Clerk MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES aa15 -, City of Iowa Chy MEMORANDUM DATE: November 28, 1979II TO: City Council g K FROM: Dennis Kraft, Director of Planning $ Program Development II�� Jim Hencin, CDBG Program Coordinator RE: FY80 Community Development Block Grant Budget Amendments Attached for your review and consideration is a report detailing proposed amendments to the FY80 Community Development Block Grant (Special Revenue Fund) Budget. A public hearing to consider citizen comments and questions on these amendments will be held on Tuesday, December 4, 1979, during the regular Council meeting. A formal motion and resolution approving the amendments will be presented for your consideration at the December 11, 1979, regular Council meeting. There are two major reasons for the amendments at this tim:. First, unexpended funds from FY79 CDBG projects need to be carried over into the FY80 budget. Second, all funds anticipated as being available for community development activities during the present fiscal year need to be budgeted. The FY80 CDBG budget as it was approved by City Council prior to July 1, 1979, was based solely upon a total of $670,000 from the fifth year Entitlement Community Development Grant. The actual amount available during FY80, however, will total $4,340,471. Table I of the attached report details this amount and the sources of funds for this budget. It should be noted that over $3 million of the budget comes from unexpended fourth and prior year Entitlement Grant funds. Also, the actual fifth year entitlement amount is $669,000. Program -income, as reflected in the CDBG budget, is derived mainly from the sale of urban renewal land. The amended FY80 budget takes into account the sale of all urban renewal land available for disposition except the Block 64 hotel site. The following points will clarify other aspects of the proposed budget revisions: 1. Surplus monies resulting from FY79 (carry overs) in excess of project needs in specific activities are returned to contingency. 2. No new projects or activities are proposed. 3. Two projects, the Human Needs Plan and Nelson Adult Center, are completed. All others are now being implemented. 4. These revisions were reviewed and accepted by the Committee on Community Needs. We will be available to answer questions which you may have concerning the proposed budget amendments.

These amendments are proposed for two major reasons. First, unexpended funds from FY79 CDBG projects need to be carried over into the FY80 budget. Second, all funds anticipated as being available for community development activities during the present fiscal year need to be budgeted. The FY80 CDBG budget as it was adopted by City Council prior to July 1, 1979, was based solely upon a total of $670,000 from the City's fifth year entitlement community development grant. The actual funds available during FY80, however, will total $4,340,471. Table I, which follows, details this amount in terms of activities and sources of funds. These figures coincide with a recently completed comprehensive audit of the City's block grant program. Program income, as reflected in the CDBG budget, is derived mainly from the sale of urban renewal land. The amended FY80 budget takes into account the sale of all remaining urban renewal land available for disposition, except the Block 64 hotel site. Attachments In order to clarify the process by which the amended budget was developed, a number of attachments follow: Table I compares the FY80 CDBG budget adopted prior to July 1, 1979, (column B) with the budget as it would be revised (column C). The revised FY80 budget actually consolidates funds available from two fiscal years. Surplus monies in excess of project needs, as determined by project directors, are returned to contingency. No new projects or activities are proposed in the budget. Figure I graphically depicts the FY80 CDBG budget as it would be revised. Table II provides an accounting of the FY79 CDBG budget as of June 30, 1979. Expenditures are reported on a cash basis. Table III indicates the sources of funds which are available for expenditure during FY80. It should be noted that City Council approved the carryover of fourth and prior year entitlement funds (column B) specifically for the Neighborhood Site Improvements project in the City's fifth year CDBG application. Individual project and activity descriptions, listed by budget account number, follow.

Mayor ATTEST: City Clerk jIfD!'IV^d F., Approvod By TL•; Legal Depa nand 9 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES aaae City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: November 29, 1979 f To: City Council From: Richard Plastino Re: Inspection Services for \\ Ramp On the first parking garage (ramp A) the City hired Shive-Hattery for inspection of the pile driving and all concrete and material testing. This contract will cost approximately $31,000. A second contract was signed with Carl Walker & Associates for full-time project inspection. This contract was on a hourly basis with a top end of approximately $35,000. Therefore, total project inspection for the first garage will be approximately $66,000 or approximately 2% of the project cost. Public Works is recommending that an almost identical procedure be followed for the second 450 -car garage. The only major change is that Carl Walker & Associates would monitor daily pile driving activities. It was not possible for Carl Walker to monitor pile driving on the first garage since an inspector had not yet been assigned to Iowa City. The contract with Shive-Hattery is identical to the first garage with the deletion of pile driving monitoring. The second garage will have much more concrete testing since the structure is a poured -in-place, post - tension structure while the first garage was pre -tension. The contract with Shive-Hattery has a not to exceed of $32,550. The contract with Carl Walker & Associates for full-time project inspection is identical to the first garage but it also includes monitoring of pile driving operations. The not to exceed on project inspection is approximately $45,000. This is calculated by figuring 35 hours per month for a ten month period. The increase in cost compared to the first garage is due to inspection of pile driving and rising personnel costs. Public Works feels very strongly that project inspection, while expensive, is an absolute necessity. The reasons are as follows: A. Errors during construction can be extremely costly in both time and money. The City has had previous experience with extremely costly litigation due to fouled up projects. The amount to be spent for project inspection is truly a pittance compared to the costs that - can be incurred when something goes wrong during actual construction. So far the first parking garage has been completed without any major problems nor any hint of litigation. This garage was built under extremely trying conditions and the lack of any major problems is due largely to a full-time project inspector being on the job. B. Full-time project representation by a knowledgeable individual increases the probability that the structure will be built properly. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES M011JES as a -- 2 C. A knowledgeable project inspector will be able to spot field problems and solve these problems before the solution becomes expensive. D. The structure will be built of post -tension concrete. This is a highly specialized field with exacting construction techniques. The project inspector must watch closely to insure that all tolerances and field construction techniques conform to specifications. In summary, Public Works recommends adoption of two resolutions on the Council agenda for inspection service contracts. bj3/2 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS- DES nOIIIES M, _�, AGRLLMEN I / [his Agreement, made and entered into this y�`a day of xGr�/ 1978 by and between the City of Iowa City, a municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as the City and Shive-Hattery and Associates, of Iowa City, Iowa, hereinafter referred to as the Consultant.

In addition, there shall be granted to officers who do not work a continuous shift the day before or after Christmas, or the day before or after New Year's Day as an additional holiday. The City Manager may direct that officers observe a particular day for this holiday but if the Manager fails to make such designation by December 15 of the calendar year in question, the officer may select a particular day subject to the approval of his supervisor. Such officers will be allowed to take the day preceding or following a holiday as designated by the City Manager if the holiday falls on the officer's day off. Section 3. Police officers on a continuous shift shall receive eighty-eight (88) hours of holiday credit on July 1 annually. Any continuous shift officer who begins work after July 1 of any year i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MONIES will receive credit for the remaining holiday dates until the following July 1. If an officer separates after July 1 of any year, those holiday dates which have been credited but which have not as yet occurred will be deducted for the purpose of considering separation pay. e.g., Officer A receives credit for eighty-eight (88) hours of holiday time on July 1. The officer terminates on November 1 and HAS NOT USED ANY holiday hours. He would be paid sixteen (16) hours of holiday pay (Independence Day and Labor Day). e.g., Officer 8 receives eighty-eight (88) hours of holiday credit on July 1. Officer B terminates November 1 and HAS USED forty (40) holiday hours. Only two (2) holidays (Independence Day and Labor Day) have occurred prior to termination, therefore twenty-four (24) hours (40 used less 16 occurring) would be deducted from the last week's wages. If an officer works a full shift on a holiday, four (4) hours of additional holiday credit will be given during the pay period in which the holiday occurs. If an officer works less than a full shift on a holiday, the premium pay will be prorated to the nearest whole hour based on time worked. Section 4. For the purpose of this Article, the holiday begins at 11:00 p.m. on the day preceding the holiday date and continues for a period of twenty-four (24) hours thereafter. The shift starting time controls holiday designation. For non -continuous shift officers, a holdiay which occurs on Sunday will be observed on the following Monday. One which falls on Saturday will be observed the preceding Friday. Section 5. In order to make a transition from calendar year to fiscal year carryover, no officer will be penalized for carrying over holiday time on January 1, 1979. In addition, on July 1, 1978, each officer will receive an additional twenty-eight (28) hours of holiday credit. On or before June 30, 1979, each will use all holiday credit or will lose any carryover. ARTICLE XI VACATIONS Section 1.

The City Manager indicated that a follow-up report would be prepared for City Council's review. 1. Minutes The minutes of the Board of Electrical Examiners and Appeals in the future will be prepared in accordance with the procedures of the Rules Committee adopted June 20, 1975. In order to insure that the minutes are comprehensive, additional clerical support will be provided to the Board of Electrical Examiners and Appeals. Although the electrical inspector will continue to serve officially as the board secretary, the actual minutes will be prepared by the clerical person. 2. Recommendations to City Council It appears that perhaps communications between the staff and the Electrical Board have not been as complete as they should be particularly when recommendations are made to the City Council by the Electrical Board. and/or the staff. Therefore, in the future, any recommendations relating to code changes or matters related to the Board of Electrical Examiners and Appeals will be sent to the members of the Board, the staff and the City Council simultaneously. 3. Licensed Journeymen The code provides that a licensed journeyman should be present on electrical jobs at all times. The Board felt there have been instances where this provision has not been followed. It was agreed that the Board of Electrical Examiners and Appeals would meet with electricians at an early date to discuss whether or not this rule should be absolutely enforced or whether there are other reasonable procedures that might be followed. 4. Unlicensed Advertising It was stated that unlicensed persons advertise in a local newspaper to do electrical work in Iowa City. A monitoring of the press - Citizen since the Board meeting did not reveal any unlicensed advertisers. However, the staff will continue to monitor this and MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 2 has suggested that the Board bring to the City's attention any violation. 5. Unlicensed work It was stated that, at times, the contractor who might accomplish unlicensed work is unknown and that it may be necessary to file action against the property owner. However, it was indicated that there were very few instances of this nature brought to the attention Of the staff. 6. Licensing Procedures There was discussion concerning licensing procedures. It is a recommendation of the City Manager that the Board adopt detailed rules and procedures for licensing and that experience and licensing elsewhere should be used as the criteria for determining whether a I person is qualified to take Iowa City's examinations. Mr. Flannery made a statement which supported utilizing experience and licensing as criteria for qualifying for an examination. The processing of licensing applications should be carried out by the inspector and the exam should be prepared, administered and certified by a party independent of the Board of Electric Examiners and Appeals. 7. Board Correspondence It was agreed that all Board correspondence would be signed by the chairman of the board. B. Electrical Inspections There was some question as to who should carry out electrical inspections when the electrical inspector is not available. This matter will be pursued further the Board. in discussion between the staff and 9. Plan Review There was discussion as to the extent of plan review on electrical work. A Board suggestion was made that more detailed plans should be provided for all electrical work. Additional information is being required at this time. However, as complete plans require added expense by the electrical contractor, it was agreed that this matter would be discussed in a meeting with the electricians. 10. Fee Permits There was discussion about the permit fees perhaps being too high. However, there is also a feeling that apartment houses should be charged commercial fees rather than residential fees. This would result in a substantial increase in the fees for apartments. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES m011JES 3 11. Releases for Services It was mentioned that there were some problems in releases for services. The director of the department indicated that Mr. Bowers had taken action to expedite this matter with Iowa -Illinois and that in the future, whenever a notice for release was provided to Iowa - Illinois, a copy would be provided to the applicant so there could be immediate follow-up. 12. Board Chairman It was department would eed h wouldmeet with at the lthe rnew lb and chairman to establish board procedures and that mail directed to the chairman would not be processed by the staff. 13. Appeal s Mr. Flannery suggested that electrical contractors should be present whenever -an appeal is heard. The Manager agrees strongly with this recommendation. 14. Formal Procedures for Action Against Contractors The Manager recommends that the Board of Electrical Examiners and Appeals adopt formal procedures relating to actions initiated against contractors. 15. Conflict of Interest There have been questions raised concerning the appearance of a conflict of interest and unresolved conflict of interest situations relating to the Board of Electrical Examiners and Appeals and in other instances in City government in recent years. The City Manager strongly recommends that the City Council establish a commission whose task will be to recommend to the City Council the adoption of a specific code of ethics for all appointed and elected officials and employees. This commission would be comprised of Councilmembers, staff members, board and commission members, employee representatives and citizens. cc: Board of Electrical Examiners & Appeals Mike Kucharzak James Hynes bj/sp MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140111Es City of Iowa ChgF MEMORANDUM FrVTrCom: te: November 30, 1979 : City (Council City' anager Re: Limitations on the Growth of Government On November 17, I participated in a panel discussion as part of a + conference sponsored by Drake University's Local Government Finance Education Project entitled "Limitations on the Growth of Government."

I The legal consideration is that Section 312.6 of the Code of Iowa allows Road Use Tax to be spent only on public right-of-way. It would be an illegal use of public funds to plow private streets. Operationally, private streets present many difficulties not present on a public street. As shown on the attached photos, there are no curbs and gutters. Therefore, the plow driver will frequently wander onto lawns, flowerbeds and roadside improvements, thereby causing damage. The many private streets are built to extremely low standards with very thin asphalt overlays. The plow blade and weight of the truck may or may not cause damage, depending on the particular subsurface conditions. i Many private streets are not built to City -required width nor are cul-de- sacs present. The lack of adequate space makes it extremely difficult and i time consuming to maneuver in these areas. There is difficulty in plowing the snow to a spot where it will not hinder anyone, since many private streets end in a private driveway. There is no difficulty in concluding that the City should not plow a private driveway or even a driveway that serves two or three houses. The same conditions apply to a private street except that there are several houses along the private street. They are private property and the City should not and cannot legally expend public funds maintaining these streets. cc: Chuck Schmadeke Gene Dietz Bud Stockman bcl/7 I 3a33q MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES I City of Iowa C"Iv MEMORANDUM Date: November 27, 1979 To: City C uncil From: Cit anager Re: Spouse Abuse Contract An agreement has been reached between the City and the Spouse Abuse program concerning a contract for the purchase of a Spouse Abuse Shelter. When the City Council originally talked about this project, it was assumed that the City would purchase the building. As indicated in the Environmental Review Record provided to you at the end of September, it now is being recommended that the property be purchased by the Spouse Abuse program. The contract language will offer the City assurances of an ongoing program. This change has been undertaken because of Federal regulations which require the City to comply with the Uniform Relocation Act whereas the Federal regulations do not require conformity to those regulations by a non-profit organization. Therefore, the purchase of the property by the Spouse Abuse program could conceivably save a considerable amount of money and might also expedite the project. bdw/sp MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIOIRCS aa.33 CITU OF r l(( ( ENTER 410 E WASHINGTON ST November 28, 1979 OWA CITY IOWA CII Y IOWA 52240 (319) 354.180D Mr. Douglas Wright Office of the Secretary of Transportation NASSIF Building - 10200 400 7th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20003 Dear Doug: When we talked last week in Burlington, I was pleased with the concern which you and Secretary Goldschmidt showed about Iowa City's transit situation. I said that 1 would send you a follow-up letter detailing what the problem is. Iowa City has recently been declared an S.M.S.A., which, as you know, Puts us in a new category for the allocation of funds in several federal programs. Our greatest need for funds is in transit. However, the D.O.T. will not certify us until after the results of the 1980 census have definitely established the "urbanized area." It looks to us as if this will be two years down the pike. Since there is apparently no legislative mandate that an "urbanized area" be established after the census, we are appealing to the Secretary either interimto grant exception a wato grant us fundingtoms maintain theexcelleruling r nttransit to dsystem which, since 1973, we have struggled to fund without any federal operating subsidy. From our discussions with other cities which have attained 50,000 population in the last few years, we are the only one which can demonstrate a success- ful, full-scale operation with tremendous community support. Iowa City received an award from the State of Iowa this year for having the best system in the State, and our transit manager received a similar award. Our ridership increased by one-third in the last two years. We estimate that we will carry close to 2,000,000 riders in FY 80, which is approximately 40 trips per capita. Our ridership is no accident, because we have been totally committed to transit. We have kept fares as low as we can at 25 cents and subsidize the cost with $450,000 almost entirely from property tax and revenue sharing. We have reduced long-term parking in the downtown to almost none in order to promote transit and have based our whole downtown redevelopment program on a complementary relationship between the strong central core and a transit system which radiates from it. aa3 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES n0111ES Mr. Douglas Wright November 28, 1979 Page 2 We believe that there is a huge latent demand for transit, since there is overcrowding on more than half of our routes. However, we have reached the end of our capability to extend the system to meet the need which we have, frankly, helped to create by making transit very attractive. We have carried efficiency about as far as it can go: Operating cost is less than 60 cents per passenger. To extend service and, in fact, just to maintain the present system, we are going to have to have more money to obtain six buses for our immediate rush hour needs and the personnel to run and service them. When you begin to fund an operation you would and should require planning to take place. We have just received a phone call saying that our local regional planning comnission will receive money for transportation planning as soon as the State D.O.T. approves it. We appreciate this, because we recognize the need for ongoing planning. We have undertaken planning for transit for several years with only local funding and have recently updated our five-year transit development plan and a regional transit development plan. Without the past planning and present commitment we would not have the model system we have today. As you know, Iowa City is perfect for transit. Our major employer, the University of Iowa, is downtown and near downtown. The streets are good for a radial system. The downtown has a new pedestrian mall, new transit staging area (all locally funded) with adjacent enclosed shopping mall under construction and new library also under construction. We are com- mitted to a strong downtown with a multitude of uses to discourage urban sprawl. To do this we must maintain our fine transit system, but we do need your help and we need it now. This letter has been somewhat lengthy, but I did want you to understand the whole situation. If, however, I have left out anything and you need more information, please give me a call or call Neal Berlin, our city manager, or Hugh I1ose, our transit manager.

Hayek .SPY FORWARDED TO A JF PROGRESS OF THIS FI ICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 1I0I11ES AREA CODE 319 337.9606 City of Iowa Cit MEMORANDUM DATE: November 28, 1979 TO: City Council of Iowa City FROM: John Hayek, City Attorney RE: Removal of Commission Members At the City Council meeting on November 20, 1979, members of the Council asked for a report from the City Attorney concerning the authority of the City Council to remove members of boards and com- missions, specifically the Airport Commission. This memorandum sets out my report on this subject. Section 5. 02 of the Iowa City Charter and Section 2-100 of the Iowa City Code cover removal of members of boards and commissions. The City Charter section provides in part; "The Council shall establish con- ditions for the removal of members for just cause, consistent with State law." Thus the Charter provision establishes a just cause requirement and refers us to State law. The Airport Commission is established under the provisions of Chapter 330 of the Code of Iowa. Section 330. 20 of the Code of Iowa provides for appointment of members of the Airport Commission by the City Council for a speciftc term of years. Section 330.21 of the Code vests broad administrative and legislative powers in the Airport Com- mission for managing the airport. Excluding civil service employees, there are two statutes in the Iowa Code dealing with removal of officers and employees. Section 372. 15 of the Iowa Code provides as follows: Except as otherwise provided by state or city law, all persons appointed to city office may be removed by the officer or body making the appointment, but every such removal shall be by written order. The order shall give the reasons, be filed in the office of the City Clerk, and a copy shall be sent by certified mail to the person removed who, upon request filed with the Clerk within 30 days of the date of mailing the copy, shall be granted a public hearing before the Council on all issues connected with the removal. The hearing shall be held within 30 days of the date the request is filed, unless the person removed requests a later date. aa3 � MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110111E5 2 Section 66. 1 of the Code of Iowa provides as follows: Any appointive or elective officer, except such as may be removed only by impeachment, holding any public office in the state or in any division or municipality thereof, may be removed from office by the district court for any of the following reasons: 1. For willful or habitual neglect or refusal to perform the duties of his office. 2. For willful misconduct or maladministration in office. 3. For corruption. 4. For extortion. 5. Upon conviction of a felony. 6. For intoxication, or upon conviction of being intoxicated. 7. Upon conviction of violating the provisions of Chapter 56 [dealing with campaign finance dis- closure]. These two statutes appear to be in conflict and the question of which statute would apply needs to be determined. Following the principle of construction set out in Section 4. 7 of the Code of Iowa to the effect that a specific statute is to be given effect over a general statute, it is my belief that Section 66. 1 governs the removal of any appointive officer holding any "public office". In this respect please note that Section 372. 15 is expressly made subject to other provisions of State law. We need therefore to distinguish between an appointive officer holding "any public office" and all other persons appointed to City office. iThere are of course many different types of employees and officers of a municipality. A chief of police, city manager, city attorney, secretary, commission member, and council member are all City employees and/or appointed or elected to City "office". However, the law makes a distinction between "public office" and general public employment. As stated in 63 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES 1 -3- AmJur 2d, Public Officers and Employees, Section 11: Briefly stated, a position is a public office when it is created by law, with duties cast on the in- cumbent which involves some portion of the sovereign power and in the performance of which the public is concerned, and which also are con- tinuing in their nature and not occasional or intermittent; a public employment, on the other hand, is a position in the public service which lacks sufficient of the foregoing elements or characteristics to make it an office. However, even where the appointment is in the nature of an employment, the appointee may be a public officer if the necessary elements of an office are present. The office of Airport Commission member meets all of the criteria set out above for finding it to be a "public office." The office is established by state law, for a fixed or definite term, and involves the exercise of a portion of the sovereign power and in the performance of which the public is concerned. In like fashion members of the Iowa City Library Com- mission would also be considered, in my opinion, public officers, as that term is used in Section 66. 1. An interesting question exists as to whether or not, for example, a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission or Parks and Recreation Commission would be subject to removal under Section 66. 1 or Section 372. 15. Arguably members of those commissions, as distinguished from the airport and library situation, are vested with less of the sovereign authority possessed by the government. On the main, their authority is limited to recommendations to the Council and hence their function is more advisory than governmental. It is beyond the scope of this memorandum to attempt to resolve, however, that question. Although a chief of police, city manager, city attorney, city clerk, or other similar officer can certainly be considered a public officer, they would be, in my opinion, subject to removal under the provisions of Section 372. 15. The Iowa Supreme Court has, for example, recently held that a chief of police maybe removed pursuant to 372. 15. See LaPeters v. City of Cedar Rapids, 263 N. W. 2d 734 (Iowa 1976). It is therefore my opinion that removal of an Airport Commission member is governed by the terms and provisions of Chapter 66 of the Code of Iowa. Parenthetically it should be noted that even if Chapter 66 did not cover the situation a commission member could clearly not be removed MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES ,_. -4- i without "just cause" as that term is used in the Iowa City Charter. Under Chapter 66 only the district court of Iowa can order the removal of such an officer. The court acts upon the petition of the Attorney General of the state or the petition of five qualified electors of the municipality or the petition of the County AEtorney. Where a petition for removal is filed by anyone other than the Attorney General or the County Attorney a bond for costs is required. In the event the action for removal is unsuccessful an award for defense costs can be made. The action in the event filed by five qualified electors would be prosecuted by the County Attorney under the statute. In conclusion no member of a board or commission can be removed except for just cause. Further, members of certain commissions, because of the independent authority vested in them by state law, can only be removed under the procedure established in Chapter 66 of the Code of Iowa and then only for the specific reasons set out in Section 66. 1. I hope that this memo- randum answers the questions that the Council members had. I would be happy to discuss this with you further at your convenience.

These statements explain the purpose and benefits of each service, how it is carried out, how it related to the Senior Center's goals and function, and the agency's relationship to other Center activities. In addition, a statistical profile for each agency has been assembled reflecting financial allocations for services to the elderly and their potential impact on service delivery and staffing at the Senior Center. The amount of space allocated to each agency and the cost of constructing, equipping, and maintaining the space is also identified. bj4/5 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES aa3F i I_ . S. E. A. T. S. Pro ect Goals: To provide a coordinated and economical means of transpor- tation for elderly persons so that they may participate more fully and independently in the life of their community and the general area. Area Served: Johnson County. Background: S.E.A.T.S. provides transportation to all persons age 60 or older, adults with mobility impairments, and handicapped. Approximately 75 percent of all riders are elderly. Five types of service are available: 1. Demand response service for elderly and handicapped. 2. Transportation for Congregate Meals. 3. Fixed route work transportation (to Goodwill). 4. Shopper escort service. 5. Transportation for Johnson County area care Xenter. Five vans are currently in operation. The rural route is a five day service from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The urban route is a seven day service from 8:00 a. m. to 9:00 p.m. Pro'ect Description: The basic nature of the S.E.A.T.S. service may remain unchanged when the Senior Center opens. However, the new Senior Center and nearby senior housing should significantly increase the demand for service due to the concentration of activities and participants. Priorities of improvement for the S.E.A.T.S. program include: 1. Replacement of the existing fleet - one or two of these replacement vehicles should be lift -equipped. 2. Addition of new vehicles to meet increased service demands. 3. Acquisition of a radio dispatching center. Relationshi to Other Center Activities: As a specialized transportation system. S. .A. A.T.S. coordinates w th various senior service providers and organizations, particularly Congregate Meals, Johnson County Council on Aging, and Johnson County Social Services. With the development of the Senior Center, the potential of physical and communicative links provided by S.E.A.T.S. could greatly broaden. Innovative, far-reaching plans appealing to the largest group possible will fail or succeed depending on whether the elderly are able to easily and safely reach the site. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1101RES CONGREGATE MEALS project Goals: To provide one nutritionally sound meal a day to n v dua s 60 years or older who cannot afford to cook adequate meals, lack skills in preparing nourishing meals, or have limited mobility for shopping and cooking. Besides nutrition, the meals provide an opportunity for socialization and exchange of information. Asea Served: Johnson County. Background: Congregate Meals, which includes home -delivered meals, operates a seven day lunch program through an alternating service at five sites in Iowa City. Programs addressed to nutrition and health education are coordinated with the luncheon program. Special diets are available if ordered by a physician but are limited to bland, basic diabetic diets, and no added salt. Congregate Meals is a non-profit program supported by Title VII, federal funds and funding from the Johnson County Board of Supervisors. In addition, it receives voluntary contributions from participants. Project Description: Congregate Meals will operate a centralized service M the benior Center. Some sites could be eliminated due to increased dining space and a more efficient kitchen at the Center. As a result, increased transportation to the Center may be needed. If there is sufficient funding to staff additional services, Congregate Meals would consider expanding their present program to include: assistance with food stamps and surplus commodities, emergency food pantry, food cooperative, gardening and preserving food, meal planning and preparation, and the addition of an evening meal. Relations hi to Other Center Activities: The Congregate Meal program works with many community agencies which have contact with the elderly. Their closest relationships are with Council on Aging, Visiting Nurses Association, S.E.A.T.S., and Johnson County Department of Social Services. The opportunity to develop and utilize joint services with these and other agencies should be enhanced at the Senior Center. JOHNSON COUNTY COUNCIL ON AGING Proect Goals: To address unmet needs relevant to individuals 60 years or o der to the community. Through its programs of advocacy, information and referral, outreach, and supportive services, Council on Aging attempts to maintain and promote dignity, independence, and freedom of choice in the lives of older people. Area Served: Johnson County. Background: The Council on Aging is a non-profit volunteer organization which provides a variety of services including assistance with rent and property tax rebate forms, shoppers aid, telephone reassurance, friendly visting, handyman and chore services, and special development projects. This is in addition to the services mentioned above. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB cCnAR RAPIDS -OCs Mnlacs V_. ' 3 Project Description: The Council on Aging serves as the umbrella agency for primary direct services and projects relating to the elderly. Through its information and referral service, it is able to link the elderly with resources in the community and identify unmet needs. It seeks to fill those needs either through services originating in the agency or by advocating with other agencies, organizations, or individuals to provide those services. The Council on Aging services will be especially important at the Senior Center where expectations of the elderly of available, easily accessible services will be high. Relationshi to Other Center Activities: Council on Aging will maintain a broad rage o working re ationsh ps with agencies, organizations, and individuals that relate to concerns and programs for the elderly. The concentration of elderly and close proximity of other program services at the Senior Center should promote coordination and communication among these agencies while increasing usage of the services. VISITING NURSES ASSOCIATION OF JOHNSON COUNTY Promo ect Goals: VNA accepts responsibility to promote health by identr ifying individual and community health problems, working toward possible solutions, assisting in community health problems, and working cooperatively with other organizations and services. Area Served: Johnson County. Back round: VNA is a voluntary, non-profit agency which provides direct c iint services in a variety of settings: homes, clinic, and group gatherings. VNA intervenes for purposes of group care and treatment, teaching client and/or family, and monitoring diseased states while promoting client independence. Over 50 percent of VNA clients are 60 years of age and older and are predominantly female. Three program categories address health needs of the elderly population: 1. Home health - professional services and disease control; i.e., nursing care, occupational, physical, or speech therapy. 2. Elderly health services - counselling, screening, and education. 3. Home health aid services. Project Descn: VNA has been actively involved in planning the hea tritioh p ase an program for the Senior Center. In the development and provision of health services within the Senior Center, VNA would interface with a variety of other community resources and could provide a range of services. The complexity and degree of availability of services depends on increased funding to have staff available for planning, implementing, and monitoring programs. Health screening services and educational programs are currently proposed. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS.DES 110111ES � 4 Relationshi to Other Center Activities: Currently, VNA works closely w th Counc 1 on g ng, Congregate Meals, and Johnson County Social Services.

Presently, it suffers from underfunding, understaffing, and lack of office space for staff. The Center should provide information and referral with adequate space, and promote the visibility and accessibility it is lacking. Both service providers and participants should find information and referral services beneficial in coping with the fragmentation and frustration caused by the lack of coordination among programs.

Brown, Director, Human Relations Departmentlt}Ylt�.-/ RE: Appointments to the Human Rights Commission At the monthly meeting on November 28, 1979 , the Human Rights Commission members discussed the three vacancies on the Commission. Commissioners are interested that capable and concerned individuals continue to be appointed by the City Council. Because of this concern, the Human Rights Commission would like the opportunity to present some input to the City Council members for your review and consideration prior to making the appointments. The Commission requests that Council appointments be postponed from December 11 to December 18. This will enable the Commission to review the applications, determine each applicant's interests and capabilities, and submit a recommendation. The Commission's recommendation would be an additional resource for the City Council to consider when making appointments. The Commission trusts you will give its request to postpone making the appoint- ments serious consideration and awaits your reply.

Alley Graveling Through the Neighborhood Site Improvement Program, alleys in four areas: Hickory Hill, Creekside, Highland and South Central were to be graded, graveled and rolled. Since funding was sufficient, it was decided that the gravel alleys in the Northside area should also be done. This project has been closed out. Any alleys which may have been missed originally are currently being gravelled using excess gravel which was stock- piled.

Two surveys of neighborhood residents have been conducted, and a neighborhood meeting was held. Residents of the immediate area generally favor erecting signs at the alley for one-way traffic from north to south, and placing an asphalt topping over the broken concrete. CCN concurs with this recommendation as it will reduce traffic hazards at the Burlington - Muscatine intersection.

Work will begin on this project as soon as possible. In regards to the pedestrian cycle at the intersection of Keokuk and Highway 6, the matter was discussed at the October CCN meeting. CCN recommended that Public Works continue to investigate the possibilities at this intersection to determine if something can be worked out.

It is unlikely that work will actually begin this fall which is probably for the best since salt is very damaging to the surface of new concrete. Therefore work will begin as soon as possible next spring. The sidewalk repair program in the Northside and Hickory Hill area will be inspected and bid next spring (pending the outcome of residents meetings to be held in these two areas). i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES IIOIIIES r.' 12. Curb Repair The Highland Area requested to do curb and gutter repair along Kirkwood Avenue through the NSI program. This project was to include repairing the curb and installing curb cuts on Kirkwood Avenue from Webster Street to Lower Muscatine. Financial Status Budgeted: $32,000.00 Encumbered: -0- Expended: -0- Comments: Through recent conversations with the Engineering Department, it has become apparent that this project is not economically feasible with the current budget. It has been determined that by replacing the curb and gutter along Kirkwood Avenue, the curb would be higher than the sidewalk. Since most of the street is relatively flat, it would not be possible to drain the water off the sidewalks. Therefore, it would be necessary to replace most of the sidewalk as well as the curb and gutter, making this project overly expen- sive for the benefit received. For this reason, the staff recommends drop- ping this project and replacing it with something else. This information will be presented to CCN for a recommendation at their next meeting.

The Record focuses on the goals and objectives of the Project, assesses the potential impacts of the Project on the physical, social, and aesthetic environment, and considers alternatives to the Project. The City of Iowa City concludes that there will be no significant adverse environmental effects caused by this Project. � I i i I I� MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 1101MES . -N PROJECT NAME: Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Revitalization Project CDBG Number: B -79 -DN -19-0048 SUBMITTING AGENCY: Department of Planning 6 Program Development Citity CivioCenter,f Iowa C410 cE. Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 PURPOSE: This Environmental Review Record (ERR) has been prepared in order to record, display, and evaluate all impacts that the Small Cities/Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Revitalization Project will have on the social, physical, and aethestic environment of the Lower Ralston Creek area. In accordance with HUD regulations --contained at 24 CFR 58.5(d) -- the City of Iowa City must determine the nature, magnitude and extent of all environmental impacts; and must evaluate changes or alternatives in the Project that would eliminate or minimize adverse impacts. This ERR will lead to the "level of clearance" finding, i.e., the determination of whether the Project will significantly affect the quality of the human environment. If there will be a significant effect, an Environmental Impact Statement is required. Finally, the ERR will be made available for public review and comment before HUD will approve the release of any funds for the Small Cities Project. 2 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES tIOIDES SUMMARY Ralston Creek flooding has historically created threats to life, health, and property. The Ralston Creek channel improvements which are part of the proposed $2,000,000 Small Cities/Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Revitalization Project -- which will contain a flood as large as the 100 -year frequency event between Gilbert Street and Kirkwood Avenue -- will be a major public facilities improvement in the development of Iowa City. This Environmental Review of the Small Cities Project shows that no significant negative effect on the quality of the human environment will be produced by the Project, and that activities proposed as part of the Project will not require preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement. The Project provides for implementation of a portion of the Storm Water Management Plan for Ralston Creek, and property disposition will be carried out to conform with the Comprehensive Plan Map and a wide range of adopted goals and Policies. On the other hand, the Project does not completely measure up to all HUD policies nor to specific goals of the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan relating to housing opportunities and the preservation of low and moderate income residential areas. (See pages 34-39 of this document). In an attempt to avoid these adverse impacts, the Environmental Review has examined a variety of alternatives to the proposed Lower Ralston Creek Project. None of these alternatives can offer a practicable means of avoiding these adverse impacts while providing protection from Ralston Creek flooding. The most important aspect of the Small Cities/Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Revitalization Project -- in terms of environmental effects, planning, and expenditure funds -- is the control of Ralston Creek flooding. Impacts upon the physical, social and aesthetic aspects of the human environment will be long-term and extremely beneficial. In addition to protection of individual residential and commercial properties, public facilities -- including drainage, sanitary sewer, and major streets -- will be greatly improved. Approximately 12 residential structures in several locations in and around the Small Cities Area will no longer be in the floodplain and will then become eligible for housing rehabilitation under Federal dispn laced by the Small 'Cities CitiesrProject happear cto be substandard, and the residences in the southern half of the Project Area are likely to becandwill continue Mtonbeunder the impacted bytth'e effectseofZarterialdstreets and/or train noise. The major adverse effect of Project activities is the net loss of housing units in the Small Cities Area. The relocation of owner - occupants and renters must be carried out with extreme diligence and care. Five of the units that may be displaced are owner -occupied single-family homes. Replacement housing at anywhere near the MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES noinrS current assessed values of these homes is not likely to be found in Iowa City. It is important to note that the removal of seven housing units on the 900 block of South Dubuque Street and the 200 block of East Benton Street (as well as two commercial structures) is not necessary to make the Ralston Creek channel improvements nor to remove the parcels from the floodplain. The City's application to HUD proposes that these structures will be removed so that parcels can be assembled by the City and sold to private concerns. The City Council has approved a schedule for appraisals of and offers to purchase all properties, in three stages. Under consideration are alternatives that would grant life estates to certain owner - occupants and/or relocate suitable structures. Although the disposition element of the Project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Map, the current designation for land consumptive use should be considered further. Based upon land available for disposition, general commercial use may be a more suitable land use designation. In addition, there are opportunities available to enhance the environment which have not been addressed in the Small Cities Project as proposed. These might be considered as detailed budgets are prepared. The most significant of these opportunities are: 1. provision of housing beyond levels stated in the pre - application, 2, utilization of Ralston Creek channel improvements as a park or park -like setting, 3, construction of bicycle/pedestrian paths along the west bank of Ralston Creek and across the Creek at Lafayette Street, and 4, encouragement of small locally -owned businesses which could not otherwise enter the market through the formation of a Small Business Investment Corporation. In the analysis of alternatives, it has been determined that none of the alternatives considered in depth (see Section V C. of the ERR) would result in a significant negative impact upon the environment. 4 - -- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1,101MES II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. LOCATION AND GENERAL SETTING The Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood (Small Cities CDBG Project Area) covers approximately 10 square blocks immediately to the south of the east one-half of downtown Iowa City. As shown in Figure 1 the boundaries of the Project Area are Court Street on the north, Gilbert Street on the east, Kirkwood Avenue on the south and Dubuque Street on the west. A major feature of the Project Area is the lower reach of Ralston Creek, which enters the Iowa River approximately one- quarter mile downstream (southwest) from Kirkwood Avenue. Ralston Creek and its branches drain a total of 5,500 acres, which include Iowa City's downtown and most eastside residential areas, plus extensive agricultural land. The Project Area is a diverse area of mixed residential and commercial land uses. It is thoroughly discussed in Sections III.A.3. and III.8.1. of this report. 5 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 1101NES Figure 1 ILM Iz z u u 0 I .N.1BENTON ST I LEGEND aBENTON I STREET Boundaries of r a &gnWl Cltlee ArN W „ KIRKWOOD CITY OF IOWA CI " SCAIE1I'•100' REVISID. 6 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES B. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Goal: To eliminate blight and the causes of blight and to encourage private reinvestment in the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood. Project Objectives: 1. To eliminate the threat of flooding in the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood through channel improvements designed to contain one hundred year frequency floods throughout the reaches of the project area. 2. To reduce flooding in Iowa City's central neighborhoods through the contraction of the flood plain resulting from channel improvements. 3. To eliminate blight by allowing for the use of housing rehabilitation assistance to dwelling units previously ineligible for such assistance due to their location within the floodplain. 4. To eliminate the health and safety hazards of current substandard housing units by relocating residents to decent, safe and sanitary housing units in a non -flood prone area. 5. To assemble fragmented parcels of appropriate size to be sold for redevelopment with uses as specified in the Comprehensive Plan, thereby promoting more rational land use. Short-term Objectives: 1. To acquire 21 complete parcels and small portions of four additional parcels along the west bank of Ralston Creek, between Harrison Street and Kirkwood Avenue, in order to facilitate Ralston Creek channel improvements, remove deteriorated structures, and allow for the assembly of parcels for resale and reuse. 2. To provide financial and relocation assistance to 16 households and 6 businesses which will be displaced by the Project. 3. To remove 18 primary and 7 accessory structures in order to facilitate proposed Ralston Creek improvements, to remove blighting influences from the neighborhood, and to begin preparing for resale and redevelopment. - 4. To alter the Ralston Creek channel in order to provide sufficient capacity to contain one hundred year frequency 7 MICAOFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIOIgES MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES floods throughout the channel reach from Harrison Street to Kirkwood Avenue. 5. To prepare a site suitable for development of housing to be used by low-income residents. 6. To provide technical and financial assistance to home owners rehabilitating and flood proofing houses formerly in the flood plain. 7. To administer the Small Cities program, insuring that it complies with state, federal and local policies and regulations; and to monitor the project to assure comple- tion in a satisfactory manner within the allotted time. i I ~ I I i F+1 �1 8 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES C.

RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS The Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Revitalization project has an important complementary relationship with three major on-going City activities: 1) Storm Water Management for the Ralston Creek Watershed, 2) Comprehensive Planning and Economic Development, and 3) the provision of safe and decent housing for all Iowa City residents. 1. Storm Water Manaaement for Ralston Creek The City has budgeted nearly $1.5 million in Community Development Block Grant funds for Ralston Creek improvements, including the construction of dry dams above urban development on both the north and south creek branches. Detention made possible by these dams, detention on private sites mandated by the City's Storm Water Management Ordinance, and channel improvements included as part of the Small Cities project are the major elements in an overall solution to Ralston Creek flooding problems. 2. Comprehensive Plan The Small Cities Project Area south of the main Rock Island Railroad tracks is indicated for land consumptive commercial use in the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan. Flood proofing the area through channel improvements, and disposition to private individuals that assemble parcels of land will help to attract businesses into the Small Cities _ area which are not suitable for location in the CBD. Such activity is also consistent with the City's Economic Development Program. 3. Housing The Comprehensive Plan designates high density housing for the Small Cities Area north of the railroad tracks. An assisted housing site will be located in this area through the Small Cities project. ! Furthermore, due to a reduction of the extent of the Ralston Creek floodway, eight existing residential structures will become eligible for housing rehabilitation for the first time. 17 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES II0111Es G.

This is the record of existing conditions and that can be Creekton s Project werenottcarrieded to out develop A listif the ings ofereferencesLower sand contacts for this section of the ERR is contained in Section X. A. PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT 1. Land ani to The Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Revitalization Project Area is dominated by Ralston Creek and its flood plain. The extent of the Ralston Creek flood plain is shown in Figure 4. The southern half of the Project area is generally level except for the banks of th^ Ralston Creek channel. In the northern ardl of tay he a ethe he land slopes much more sharply p particularly from the ridge along the west side of the creek which separates the Ralston Creek and Iowa River watersheds. The project area contains three major soil series: Down Silt Loam (162), Fayette Silt Loam (163), and Colo -Ely Complex (11). These three soils are generally well- _.. drained (Colo -Ely being the poorest)nd characterized hen by moderate permeability, high productivity managed, and the need for careful protection against erosion. Immediately along Ralston Creek, soils consist of thin bands of silty clay loams of the Colo -Ely Complex underlain by alluvial desposits of sand, gravel and approxim approximately 30- a60 feet beedar low Olimestone lies w thefloor. Creek The Iowa City area experiences climatic conditions typical of the upper nd cold winters. Average annual V alpreciphot summers itati nis36.22a inches, with most precipitation occurring in the summer months. Averaaverage daily high lall is and lowatemperatures arinches. 28degrees Fahrenheit and 11 degrees Fahrenheit in January, and 85 derees Average mean rtemperature is 49 enheit and 65 dedegrees ees Fahrenheit in July. Fahrenheit. The most significant effect of climate upon the Small Cities Area is flash flooding caused by summer or spring storms. Heavy rainfall insome storms can literally be limited to the Ralston Creek watershed. An accurate _. prediction of runoff volumes or conditions using bench marks such as 100 year frequency rainfall events is difficult indeed. 19 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES llolMCs Ix W O J ill �a.� 111 IN I A rim 20 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDs.DEs 1011IEs Floodplain Boundaries � 10 year beef' 100 year 1 CITY OF IOWA CITY suu. 1',1001 Vegetation, Wildlife and Natural Areas The entire Project area has seen extensive urban development, and "natural areas" are not present per se. Vegetation consists of cultivated species in yards and gardens; and trees, shrubs and annual and perennial plants that have become established incidental to the urban environment. The banks of Ralston Creek and adjacent flood plain areas contain plant communities that include trees and shrubs such as sumac, silver maples, mulberry, and willow and herbacious species such as giant horseweed, burrweed, foxtail, mullein, red clover and various grasses. Because Ralston Creek virtually stops flowing during extended dry periods, the aquatic community is limited to a few invertebrates, although shiners and creek chubs have been observed about h mile upstream from the Small Cities Area, The overgrowth of Ralston Creek banks provides cover and habitat for rodents and other small mammals such as squirrels and rabbits. Numerous species of birds also find habitat in the trees and brush. There are no endangered or threatened species that are known to exist in the Project Area. 3. Development, Land Use and General Physical Character The Small Cities Project Area is immediately south of downtown Iowa - City and the Urban Renewal Project Area. The major natural and "man- made influences upon the Area are the proximity to downtown, Ralston Creek and its flood plain, and the Rock Island Railroad tracks. The Project Area has been thoroughly overlain with urban development, mostly of one- and two-story buildings. The area land use map (Figure 5) indicates the juxtaposition of commercial and residential parcels. An examination of specific land uses indicates a wide variety of commercial and semi -industrial uses, as well as single-family and multi -family housing. The majority of the area's residents live in the northern half of the Project Area, particularly in three newer apartment buildings and in one older apartment building. Several of the businesses in this part of the Project Area have yards and trees that give them a residential -like appearance. The southern part of the Small Cities Area is a mixture of old houses and generally newer commercial structures. Other commercial areas include businesses adjacent to Ralston Creek along Prentiss Street and Harrison Street, and businesses along Gilbert Street. A detailed parcel -by -parcel land use survey of the Small Cities Area has been conducted. Appendix C of this Environmental Review Record contains the block summaries of the survev. 21 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DF.S 110111[5 0 0. 0 0 IW 0 Z A _ Figure 5 BURLINGTON I _ c/)' - 1= COURT ST. r`.

The channel itself varies in width from approximately 10-20 feet throughout this reach. The flood plain is fairly narrow -, in the northern end of the area, particularly near Prentiss Street and the main Rock Island Railroad tracks, where the land rises very sharply between Linn Street and Dubuque Street. South of the railroad tracks the land is much more level and the flood plain is very broad as Ralston Creek approaches the Iowa River. 4. Physical Infrastructure a. Drainage As discussed earlier under "land and climate", Ralston Creek is the primary natural drainage feature for all of Iowa City on the east bank of the Iowa River. Drainage interior to the Lower Ralston Creek Area is carried to Ralston Creek over streets and through storm sewers. b. Transportation Three of the boundary streets in the Small Cities Area are part of Iowa City's secondary arterial street network: Gilbert Street (from Court Street to Kirkwood Avenue), Court Stret (from Dubuque Street to Gilbert Street), and Dubuque Street (one block only, the one-way from Kirkwood Avenue to Benton Street). The main tracks (Des Moines Street) and a major spurline (Lafayette Street) of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad cross the Small Cities Area. The former passenger depot is just west of the area on Wright Street and the switching yards are just east of the Small Cities Area. i C. Sewers and Treatment The entire Small Cities Area is served by Iowa City's municipal sewer system. Flood waters in the area sometimes enter the sewer system through manholes, creating sewer surcharging into basements and streets. Iowa City's current treatment plant is located about two blocks southwest of the Small Cities Area. A new plant will be built a mile or so to the south within 5-10 years, replacing the current plant. d. Water Iowa City's municipal water system supplies all residents and businesses of the Small Cities Area. The water treatment plant is north of downtown, at Bloomington and Madison Streets. e. Utilities Gas and electric service is provided by Iowa -Illinois Gas and Electric. Telephone service is available through Northwestern Bell Telephone Company. 23 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CHAR RAPIDS -DES !10111[5 _..' 5. Air Quality Air monitoring facilities for suspended particulates and sulfur dioxide are located at the Medical Laboratory Building of the University of Iowa. 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. The 1975 arithmetic mean for sulfur dioxide in Iowa City was 11.4 micrograms per cubic meter, which was substantially below the national primary standard of 80 micrograms per cubic meter. The sewage treatment plant southwest of the Small Cities Area is a source of disagreeable odors, depending upon wind direction. A new sewage treatment plant will be constructed about one mile to the south within the next 5-10 years. 6. Water Quality Public water supply for the City of Iowa City is drawn from the Iowa River upstream from the confluence with Ralston Creek; thus activities in the Small Cities Area will have no effect upon local water supply or quality. The flood -associated problem of sanitary sewer surcharging - that is, the mixing of sewage and storm water runoff - can result in some organic pollutants emptying into Ralston Creek and into the Iowa River as it flows to the south. 7. Noise Studies of the incidence of noise in the Small Cities Area or in Iowa City as a whole have not been carried out. Any detailed noise studies of the Small Cities Area would be expected to show, in addition to the general urban pattern of traffic noises and short- term construction noises, a significant source of potential impacts in the trains which sound their horns as they cross streets at grade. The noise of the trains is intense and seems to occur with each of the 30-40 different train crossings per day in the Small Cities Area, most of which are in the hours between 8:00 A.M. and 12:00 midnight. The environmental significance is: 1) planned land uses that might be noise -sensitive should consider mitigating measures and effects that will continue to be present, and 2) certain noise -generating activities, such as daytime construction, may cause less impact (compared to the impact of similar activities in other areas) because of noise -sensitive people or activities tending not to locate there. 24 IV.7... . _ .__ _1 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES tJOJRES W B. SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT. 1. Community Description and Identity. The Small Cities Area is part of an area south of downtown Iowa City which developed during the past century under large influence of its proximity to the railroad and downtown. The developed area has always included a mixture of residences, commerce, and manufacturing. Until the past 20 years, with the building of the U.S. 6 -Bypass and the development of urbanization to the south, the lower part of Ralston Creek was as far south as Iowa City went. The expansion of Iowa City as an urbanized area, and downtown development and urban renewal activities, including the removal of housing to the north and west of the Small Cities Area, have helped to create the current land use mix. The Project Area is characterized by interspersed commercial and residential development of various types; in the 10 -block area residential structures are present on 8 blocks, while commercial uses are present on 9 blocks. In the entire area, there are only two significant groupings of residences: (1) on the west side of the 500 block of S. Linn Street and (2) on the block which includes the south side of the 200 block of E. Benton and the east side of the 900 block of S. Dubuque Street. Many residences in the surrounding area have been removed over the past ten years through redevelopment and the realignment of Gilbert Street. An important part of the community is the proximity to downtown and to other community services and facilities such as St. Patrick's School, the HACAP offices, the Close Mansion (housing the Council on Aging), the train depot, and the National Guard Armory. Community services and facilities are discussed on page 26. One important community resource, the Hy -Vee grocery store at the corner of Kirkwood Avenue and Gilbert Street, is scheduled to be closed within two years. The property will be sold with a covenant that no other grocery may operate there. Commercial uses are varied -- including offices, retail outlets for a variety of goods, and facilities for several contractors. Most commercial establishments appear to draw from a city-wide (as opposed to neighborhood) service area. Surveys of residents by the City indicate that the proximity of the University, Downtown, and neighborhood businesses con- tribute to the community identity. The residential areas themselves are somewhat "out of the way" as far as most other residents of town are concerned, which has been mentioned as a strong point. Negative features include crime and threats of 25 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES crime (i.e. poor lighting, blighted conditions, and businesses such as massage parlors and bars), Ralston Creek flooding, and train noise. 2. Population Characteristics. Precise population data (totals or reliable demographic characteristics such as age, income, or occupations) for the Small Cities Area are not available because area boundaries include only portions of four census enumeration districts. From the land use survey and the survey of area residents, however, total population can be estimated. Assuming occupancy factors of 2.5 for single family houses and 1.5 for apartment units, the estimated population of the Small Cities Area is 224 persons. - General population characteristics can be inferred from the survey of area residents and from census enumeration district data. The Small Cities Area contains a greater percentage of low-income and elderly people than does Iowa City has a whole. The percentage of female -headed households and of minority individuals is also higher than the City-wide percentage. i There is a great deal of diversity among the population. It seems that the residents of older houses have generally lived at the same locations for a much greater length of time (in some cases, 30-40 years) than the average household in Iowa City. The residents of the three newer apartment buildings in the north end of the Project Area are overwhelmingly single and mostly University students or former students. i 3. Community Services and Facilities. i Services and facilities within the Small Cities Area include: HACAP (Hawkeye Area Community Action Program), 620 S. Dubuque Street. St. Patrick's School (Iowa City Catholic Grade School), 229 E. Court Street. State of Iowa Parole Office and Community Court Services, 409 S. Gilbert Street. i The Small Cities Area is close to Downtown and as such is close to a variety of community, governmental, and cultural facilities. Services and facilities nearby the Small Cities Area include: 26 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES i10111ES Parks Elm Grove Park -- corner of Clinton and Benton.

This elementary school was closed in May, 1979, but the building will continue to serve as an educational facil- ity, being occupied by People's School No. 4 (PS. B4) -- " the district -operated alternative junior high school and the Community Experimental Education Center (CEEC) -- f the district's alternative high school. These programs previously operated out of storefronts within the Small Cities Area boundary, at 409 and 529 S. Gilbert Street, respectively. 4. Economics. The Small Cities Area contains a wide variety of commercial activities, most of which are on a fairly small scale. Some commercial activities are neighborhood -oriented while others serve a community- or area -wide market. A complete listing of commercial activities would include restaurants and bars, real estate offices, insurance offices, a paint store, a veterinary clinic, construction contractors and suppliers, a medical supplier, a massage parlor, bookstores, photography and barber/hairhics eStylists,a a bicycle tural foods store, a /cooperative 27 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES natural foods warehouse, a retail meat outlet, an auto salvage yard, an auction house, a gas station, and a retail tire outlet. The area south of the railroad tracks is zoned M-1 (Light Industrial). Under Iowa City's current Zoning Ordinance, this zone allows light industrial, commercial and residential uses. The parcels which currently have residential and neighborhood commercial land uses (see page 22) will be non -conforming under a revised Zoning Ordinance currently scheduled to be effective in 1980. Parcel by parcel redevelopment and acquisition of parcels with the intention of assembling a larger parcel for commercial development have taken place. The commercial tax base is kept somewhat low by the blighting influence of Ralston Creek. en ri 11 krl MI Mf MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES PIONES C. AESTHETIC ENVIRONMENT. 1. General Setting. ~ The Lower Ralston Creek Project Area is, on the whole, less attractive than most older Iowa City neighborhoods. This is generally the result of the proliferation of commercial and semi -industrial land uses, a scarcity of trees, and poor maintenance of some residential and commercial structures and lots. The most aesthetically pleasing areas are generally isolated, such as: West side of 500 block of S. Linn Street -- cluster of resi- dences, small houses, shady street. East side of 900 block of S. Dubuque Street -- several large yards with attractive gardens. Ralston Creek banks -- overgrowth. 2. Historic Buildings, and Other Aesthetic Buildings or Groups. The Iowa State Historical Department, Division of Historic Preservation, has made a field check of the Small Cities Area property to be acquired and has determined that no structures are eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Only one structure located immediately adjacent to the Small I Cities Area, the Close Mansion, 538 S. Gilbert Street, is on the National Register. I 3. Natural Features. Ralston Creek is the dominant natural feature of the Project AreaThrough decades of development, dumping, and fill the original state of the channel has been altered considerably (see Figure 6). The Ralston Creek channel has become overgrown with a variety of small trees, shrubs, and annual planta and weeds, common to the region. The steep hills on Prentiss Street (Linn to Dubuque) and Harrison Street (112 block west of Linn, closed to traffic) as j well as the gentler hill on Dubuque Street (Benton Street north to the main railroad tracks) mark the historical west bank of the Ralston Creek flood plain. j 29 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES noluEs -N Figure 6 Historic Ralston Creek Channel 0 0 L L E ti c p�f%rnggr/vnrr � I I ;/ 4..11! / a<�J tjfl Ir Ttl rr=nl jl z r I i Alurkll 42 -. - .r (n I t �I »m rr r, • r I r i 6 1 t ,rr J✓ J t!

The Small Cities Area contains a number of attractive buildings and sites, but these are impacted by undermaintained properties and incompatible land use activities to an extent that the overall impression is one of little visual appeal.

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS This section is a listing and explanation of the projected effects of the Small Cities/Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Revitalization Project. Environmental criteria have been compiled from the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, HUD regulations and guidelines, and goals and policies adopted in the "Iowa City Comprehensive Plan for Land Use, Trafficways, and Community Facilities (For a listing of Comprehensive Plan references, see Appendix D. In the Environmental Effects table which follows, the criterion to be examined is listed in the left-hand column. The impact of the Project in terms of each criterion is described as beneficial, neutral, or adverse. Each impact is footnoted, and an evaluation of the impact follows the chart. Each beneficial or adverse impact is shown as either short-term or long-term. Short-term impacts are generally associated with construction; long-term impacts are permanent changes to the environment. Direct impacts are specifically attributable to the Project; indirect impacts are the result of an interaction between project effects and activities and policies. other i I f I i i i j r 32 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES ENVIRONMENTAL CRITERION FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECT x(9) X(11) 1.

The Ralston Creek channel improvements will result in containment of flood waters of up to 100 year frequency storms. This will result in long-term improvement in the conveyance of stormwater and control of erosion. 2. The suitability of soils for development or other purposes will be unaffected by project activities. 3. Existing vegetation, wildlife, and "natural" areas along Ralston Creek will suffer disruption during the construction of channel improvements. This negative effect will be short-term, since the new west bank will be sodded and trees will be planted, resulting in a reestablishment of a quasi -natural environment. 4. The Project will have no effect upon the water supply of Iowa City nor of other municipalities or private individuals. 5. Construction and other activities will not produce unusual odors nor release chemical substances to the atmosphere. 6. Ralston Creek channel improvements, as well as demolition and " clearance activities on acquired parcels, will generate negative dust and noise impacts. These impacts will be temporary, ceasing when construction is finished. 7. Storm drainage facilities are a major consideration in the evaluation of infrastructure. The Ralston Creek channel improvements will keep floods from 100 -year frequency storms within the reconstructed Creek banks. The problem of sanitary sewer surcharging will be dealt with concurrently. An indirect benefit in terms of Iowa City's infrastructure is less frequent flooding of streets in the Small Cities area, particularly Dubuque Street and Benton Street. 8. The Project will remove most of the residential properties south of the main railroad tracks. This will further weaken the identity of the residential element which will continue to exist in this part of the Small Cities area and in other mixed-use areas, to the west and " to the east. , 9. Existing community facilities and services will be unaffected by the Project. New facilities or services are not planned as part of the Small Cities project. ! 10. Significant public facilities deficiencies --namely flooding of streets and of residential and commercial properties, and sanitary sewer surcharging --will be corrected by Ralston Creek channel improvements. 11. The Division of Historic Preservation, Iowa State Historical Department, has surveyed the structures or parcels to be acquired and cleared through the Project and has determined that none of these 36 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 'IOIIIES structures are eligible for inclusion in the National Register. There will be no effect upon other historical properties. 12. Ralston Creek is a "natural feature" whose course has been altered considerably in the past as the result of urban development. The - channel improvements will include resodding and the planting of trees, which will provide for long-term attractiveness. 13. Channel improvements will accomplish a great deal of "cleanup" of Ralston Creek; however, the improved channel will be in the rear of commercial lots, and opportunities for enjoying the visual quality or vistas will be minimal. 14. Acquisition and disposition will --taken as isolated elements of the Small Cities Project --reduce housing opportunities. Up to five units of owner -occupied housing and 12 rental units will be lost. There are at least six residential units that do not have to be removed for channel improvements but will be acquired for resale for land -consumptive commercial use. In addition, the loss of these residences will have an indirect negative effect upon the remaining houses in the Small Cities area and on adjacent lots due to the loss of neighborhood identity. 15. The improvements to the Ralston Creek channel will indirectly expand housing opportunities and act to promote neighborhood stabilization and conserve the housing supply. Eight houses will no longer be subject to inundation by floods of 100 year frequency, and these structures will be eligible for housing rehabilitation grants for the first time. The overall effect will be the encouragement of rehabilitation and reinvestment in property and in structures. 16. Property acquisition in the Small Cities area will remove two groupings of houses and only one "isolated" residence, but there will still be several houses surrounded by commercial activity. To the east and west of the Small Cities area the mixture of residences and commercial activity will continue to exist. 17. Ralston Creek flooding is a major blighting influence in the area; one or two parcels and buildings could be described as slums or blight. However, most of the low and moderate income persons who are affected will have their properties acquired and will be relocated, so the benefit is extremely questionable. 18. The Small Cities area is a part of the larger target area for the Community Development Block Grant Program. Other activities which are Rehabilitation, Housby heal Housing Code Enforcement, Neighborhood Housing Improvements, and upstream stormwater detention projects on Ralston Creek. 19.

The loss of housing units in the southern part of the project area, plus the construction of publicly -assisted housing at thecorner of Harrison and Linn Streets, will result in an overall poorer ss and proximity to neighborhood parks. This is due to the existence of a neighborhood park (Elm Grove) at the corner of Clinton and Benton Streets (one-half block west of the Project area) and the lack of park facilities proximate to the Assisted Housing site. However, it should be noted that Elm Grove Park will likely be at least partially phased out by the end of 1980. M. r... - FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 11011JES 30. The redevelopment activities to occur in the Small Cities area will put more commercial property on the tax roles. Control of Ralston Creek flooding will indirectly increase property valuos on the market, and presumably, assessed valuations as well. 31. The residential properties to be acquired are on the low price end of Iowa City's housing market. Despite this several are well -kept and have large attractive yards. In addition, it must be admitted that "substandard housing" fulfills the requirements of some people. The residences to be acquired are largely elderly- and female -headed households. 32. Property disposition that will take place is in conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan Map. D 39 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES V. EVALUATION OF ADVERSE IMPACTS AND ASSESSMENT OF ALTERNATIVES In the previous section the range of of alterations to the environment -- expected to result from the Small Cities/Lower Ralston Creek Neigh- borhood Revitalization Project --has been laid out. The next step is to analyze these environmental alterations by addressing alterna- tives and considering the impacts --negative as well as positive --of these alternatives. The four subsections which follow carry out the analysis by examining the following: 1. Negative impacts and the project element(s) that would be impacted by possible alterations or mitigating measures. 2. Opportunities to enhance the quality of the human environment that are not included in the proposed project. 3. Discussion of alternative courses of action (including the alternative of no project) that would reduce negative environ- mental effects or enhance the environment. 4. Steps planned to minimize the adverse impacts that can be expected from the project as proposed. 40 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 110111ES i - - A. EVALUATION OF ADVERSE IMPACTS This subsection examines adverse environmental impacts that can be expected to arise from the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Revital- ization Project. Short-term negative impacts (i.e. those arising from construction activities and/or not of a permanent nature) displayed in the Environmental Effects Table are all relatively minor and are not discussed here. For each long-term adverse impact, the chart which follows displays the environmental criterion or criteria upon which the adverse impact is based and the program element responsible for the impact. "Possible project modification" lists possible courses of action to mitigate the impact. The impact of any possible modification (in terms of effect upon the environment and/or upon the design and cost of the program) is described briefly. EVALUATION OF ADVERSE IMPACTS a. NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION Environmental Criteria for Determining Negative Impact: 1. Community identity 2. Supports comprehensive neighborhood stabilization and/or revitalization of low and moderate income areas, or conserves the housing supply for low and moderate income persons (Small Cities Program Design Criterion) 3.

Disposition Possible Project Modification to Alter Impact: 1. Do not make channel improvements. Houses would remain, the threat of flooding would still exist. Houses and businesses would be under -maintained because of continuing flood threat. Houses would not be eligible for rehabilitation under federal programs. 2.

' r 43 1i FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES I_. --, B. ENHANCEMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT n The purpose of the Environmental Review is not merely to evaluate negative impacts, but also to identify opportunities to enhance the quality of the human environment. The previous subsection has evaluated mitigation measures and possible program modification to lessen negative impacts arising from the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Revitalization Project. In this subsection, opportunities for enhancement of the environment are examined. In these instances, no mnea impacts have been identified, but modification of the Project could result in further beneficial impacts in terms of the criteria used in Section IV. 1. Railroad Infrastructure The main Rock Island tracks (Des Moines Street) and the Lafayette Street spur are completely incidental to existing land uses. The tracks and trains do not benefit current uses, and serve only to generate noise impacts and to block traffic on Dubuque Street and occasionally on Gilbert Street. Commercial uses for the property to be re -sold could be selected so as to utilize the existing railroad infrastructure. In addition, the railroad depot (on Wright Street just west of the 600 block of South Dubuque Street) has important potential if the Federal or State government were to make a commitment to revitalizing the system for intercity passenger travel by train. 2. Visual Quality of Improved Ralston Creek Channel Although Ralston Creek channel improvements will include the removal of obsolete structures and debris and will result in a general cleanup, and although the new west bank will be sodded and landscaped, the overall visual affect will be neutral. This will be primarily because of surrounding land -consumptive commercial uses that will probably back onto the Creek. Ralston Creek could be a positive element in urban design, much as has been accomplished in other cities. One way to allow eM1 people to appreciate the improved creek channel would be to establish a park at some point along the creek or make the west " bank of the creek a linear park with a walking/bicycle path as recommended in the Comprehensive Plan. Another possibility would be to encourage commercial activity, such as a restaurant with an outdoor patio, that would value the creek and its visual quality. 3. Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation The new west bank of Ralston Creek would be a logical location for a bicycle trail for both recreation and transportation purposes. In addition to serving as an off-street pedestrian 44 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DF.S MONIES and bicycle link for the Small Cities Area and neighborhoods to the east and west, such a facility could link Downtown with the bicycle path that is planned as part of the relocated Gilbert Street, approximately one-quarter mile south of the Small Cities Area. Another opportunity for improved bicycle and pedestrian transportation would be to include a lane as part of the design of the new railroad bridge to be constructed at Lafayette Street. There has not been a safe crossing for pedestrians of the Creek at this point since the roadway was taken out. 4. Commercial Land Use and Tax Base Once the City has acquired the designated parcels and the Ralston Creek improvements have been made, the properties to be resold should be disposed of for the "highest and best use". Land consumptive commercial activities, while increasing the value over current use, would not generate as much tax revenue or bring as high a sale price as would other commercial activities. One of two courses of action could result in a more favorable situation. First, the land to be sold could be put on the open market so as to get the best return, without restriction as to use. Second, the City could encourage the establishment of small locally -owned businesses or types of businesses that do not currently exist in the community. 45 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIOIIIES C. Consideration of Alternative Projects The consideration of alternative projects is a crucial component of the City's Environmental Review. A wide range of alternatives should be considered and the benefits and impacts of these alternatives compared with the Small Cities Project as proposed. Alternatives to the Proposed Lower Ralston Creek/Small Cities Project 1. Do nothing. 2. Alternative creek design -- east bank acquisition. 3. Housing alternatives. a. Retain houses not needed for creek improvements. b. Acquire all designated parcels, but offer life estates to owner -occupants of houses not necessary for channel improvement. C. Rezone an area for multi -family residential use. d. Move displaced houses to a concentrated site. e. Build additional housing through public programs. f. Encourage possible housing sites. (1) Southeast corner of Harrison and Linn Streets including adjacent street rights-of-way. (2) South of railroad tracks and west of Ralston Creek. (3) East side of Elm Grove Park. 4. Alternative commercial use. a. Land intensive commercial use. b. Opportunities for small, locally -owned businesses. 5. Street improvements. a. Rebuild Lafayette Street auto bridge. b. Construct grade separations at railroad crossings. C. Improve existing at -grade crossings. d. Realign one-way couplet which circles Armory block as two- way street to the south and west of the Armory. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RARIDS•DCS MOIOES 6. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities. 47 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES a. Pathway included as part of rebuilt west bank of Ralston Creek. (This could also function as a maintenance path) b. Lafayette Street crossing as component of new railroad bridge. 7. Parks. a. Linear park along Ralston Creek. b. Neighborhood park utilizing Ral'ston Creek as a boundary. Alternatives Considered in Depth 1. Do nothing. The alternative of not carrying out Project activities must be considercarrying the CSmall out t he Citiess/LowerenRalstonssCreek process. Neighborhood Revitalizationthe broad a which exists at the sportion present time�;lanlopportunity for impleeave menting arone of the Ralston Creek Storm Water Management Plan would be lost. Economic development and assisted housing activities would also not be carried out. Existing trends indicate that the identity of the residential area in the south part of the Project area would continue to be eroded. 2. Housing. a. Do not acquire parcels not necessary for channel improvements. Four houses on the 900 block of South Dubuque Street and two houses in the 200 block of East Benton Street --as well as the t corner commercial property --do not have to be removed for the construction of Ralston Creek channel improvements, according to the Storm Water Management Plan for Ralston Creek. If these —remain, houses were to they would be out of the 100 -year flood plain and rehabilitation. d be s Thisalternative issdparticularlytattractive because replacement housing in a comparable situation for several long-term elderly residents would be hard to locate. If this alternative is chosen, the residents will face an „ expected breakdown in neighborhood services (closing of Sabin Elementary School and closing of a neighborhood grocery). In addition, residences which remain in the area will be subject to the effects of permitted uses. Conversion from residential to commercial uses has occurred and will continue to occur. Not acquiring all properties would make it more difficult to assemble parcels for land consumptive use or other general commercial uses. 47 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES Even though the City would not go through condemnation procedures, an offer to purchase could be extended to all owners of parcels in this block. Any parcel which was not purchased would mean less expenditure on acquisition and relocation. The land could not be resold for commercial uses, but could be retained for public open space. b. Provide an expanded site for assisted housing. Housing availability, particularly for low and moderate income persons, is a cause for concern in Iowa City. The Small Cities Project as proposed would result in a net loss of up to 13-15 housing units. Providing additional housing, either privately or through the public sector, should be carefully considered. Much of the Small Cities Area is unsuitable for federally- —• assisted housing because of zoning, train noise impacts, arterial street impacts, and the decline of neighborhood services. One specific problem is the relocation of residents _. to be displaced by the Project. The site on the southeast corner of Harrison and Linn Streets is designated for assisted housing, either Section 8 New Construction, or Traditional Public Housing. These units could be used for the relocation of persons displaced by Small Cities land acquisition. The elderly residents of housing to be acquired by the Project could also be relocated to federally -assisted housing for the elderly now under construction just north of the Project Area at Court and Dubuque. C. Move displaced houses to a concentrated site or to indivi Several of the houses to be acquired appear to be structurally sound and could be moved to vacant lots in residential areas. The moved houses would be a replacement option for displaced persons which could be rehabilitated and used for public housing; or the City could purchase and resell the houses for residential or other uses. Moving houses is generally feasible from a technical standpoint, but creates additional costs of property - acquisition, site preparation, and structural repair after the move. If current residents were relocated with the structures, temporary housing would have to be obtained. _. 3. Alternative Commercial Land Use. Designation of land consumptive commercial use for the part of the Small Cities Area south of the railroad tracks follows the adopted Comprehensive Plan Map. However, the parcels which will remain for resale on blocks 18 and 28 will be quite small. Also, the area may be more suitable for more intense commercial use after channel improvements and fill are in place. 48 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•D[5 MOInCS More intense commercial use could be expected to bring greater disposition income when the property is sold, and would generate greater property tax receipts. Certain types of use would also have the effect of increasing vehicular traffic in and around the area. Another alternative is the encouragement of small locally -owned businesses which might not be able to enter the market under normal conditions. The City is specifically able to assist in the formation of a Small Business Investment Corporation or local development corporation to effect community economic development or neighborhood revitalization activities under the Community Development Block Grant program. Bicycle Path along Ralston Creek. A bicycle path along Ralston Creek is designated as a long-range facility in the draft Bikeways Plan. The planned reconstruction of a wide west bank at a 2.5:1 slope will provide an excellent opportunity to construct a bicycle facility in the Small Cities Area which can also serve as a path along the Creek channel for maintenance vehicles. (Similarly, a bicycle/pedestrian lane could be provided when the new railroad bridge at Lafayette Street is constructed.) The Ralston Creek bike path would serve as a transportation alterna- tive to using Gilbert Street, as well as being available for recreational riding. The path would link up with other proposed bike routes on Prentiss Street, Benton Street, and Dubuque Street, and to the south could be connected to the South Gilbert Street bike path. The path would also be used by bicyclists who use and will continue to use streets such as Linn Street and Court Street which have no formal designation as bike routes. Constructing a bike path as part of the channel improvements would increase the cost of the Project element somewhat, but would not cost as much as constructing such a path at a later date. Maintenance activities and costs will also have to be faced. The major construc- tion problem would be locating the path under the high railroad bridge and at any spots where the wide west bank is not to be constructed. Street Improvements. There are a number of street improvement projects that could take place in the Small Cities Area, including rebuilding the as ayette Street auto bridge or rebuilding the Prentiss Street bridge to prevent inundation and backwater at that site. Major construction projects such as these are quite expensive and would probably require commitment of funds through the Capital Improvements Program with other than Small Cities CDBG funds. One street improvement that would be relatively inexpensive and would benefit auto drivers --as well as bicyclists --would be recon- structing the at -grade railroad crossings on Dubuque Street. The crossings are currently extremely rough and possibly discourage 49 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES nouns traffic which might otherwise be attracted to local commercial establishments. 50 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOIIIES D. STEPS PLANNED TO MINIMIZE ADVERSE IMPACTS. Previous sections have examined the full range of potential impacts more or less in isolation from one another. The following items, which are included in planned Project Activities will have the effect of minimizing or mitigating identified adverse impacts: 1. Assisted Housing. A site for assisted housing will be prepared at the southeast corner of Harrison and Linn Streets. Its Zoning allows both residential and commercial land uses. If parts of the street rights-of-way are utilized for this site, up to ten units of new housing could be constructed. Other housing opportunities, including two developments for elderly persons currently or soon to be under construction, scattered site Traditional Public Housing and Section 8 rent subsidies, will be available to persons who are relocated by the i Project. 2. Construction Activities. A number of short-term adverse impacts have been identified that will result from construction activities, including the channel improvements to Ralston Creek. Construction activities should be limited to daylight hours, and should be carried out with an awareness of potential noise and dust impacts. Ralston Creek channel improvements should preserve as much existing vegetation as is feasible. — 51 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES VI.

NOTICES AND REVIEWS A. LOCAL REVIEW The Small Cities Grant Pre -Application and Application and the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan (pursuant to Iowa Chapter 403) have been discussed at public hearings before City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Project has also been presented to two citizens advisory groups, the Committee on Community Needs and the Ralston Creek Coordinating Committee. A number of meetings with area residents _ and property owners have also been held to discuss specific aspects of the Project. These meetings and the monthly newsletter for the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood are intended to foster as much awareness and discussion of the proposed Project as possible. B.

The area is diverse and in places run-down. The Program Area contains the second -to -last a mile reach of Ralston Creek. The Creek, the steep bluff to the west of the Creek from Court Street to Lafayette Street, the street pattern, and the Rock Island Railroad tracks (the main line at Des Moines Street and a spur line at Lafayette Street) are the principal physical features of the area. Single-family houses, multi -family buildings, and a wide variety of commercial land uses are mixed throughout the area. On-site review of the Program Area indicates that, although several houses, yards, and commercial sites were extremely well-maintained and well -kept, the general level of exterior maintenance of both residences and businesses is below average for Iowa City. This is particularly true for structures in the Ralston Creek flood plain. Structural deficiencies, _ some accumulated trash, and junk cars are all in evidence. There are no extensive neighborhoods, nor is there an apparent focus for community activity in the Lower Ralston Creek Program Area. There is no contiguous area containing more than ten structures, and it appears that the overall trend is towards more commercial development. Commercial activity is varied, including building contractor supplies and warehouses, a gas station, an auto junk yard, a laundromat, two restaurants, two book stores, a natural foods store, a tire shop, and several offices. Most of these establishments do not appear to generate significant traffic. Ralston Creek is in some places quite attractive, and the trees which line its banks are much more visible than the creek itself. The creek is quite obviously strewn with the general debris, broken concrete slabs, old retaining walls, etc. The banks are in most places stabilized by small trees which have grown subsequent to the most recent changing of the channel. The railroad main line crosses Dubuque Street at grade, and the Lafayette Street spur crosses Dubuque Street, Gilbert Street and an alley at grade. Dubuque Street traffic (and to a lesser extent, traffic on Gilbert) is blocked by trains many times each day. The noise from the trains is quite obviously obtrusive to anyone living nearby. evl vin Laverty, nv ronmenta ev ew Planner -� Henc n, Program oord nator 57 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES nolnEs -.

The major element of this project is improvement to Ralston Creek to prevent flooding in the Creek's lower reach, from Gilbert Street to Kirkwood Avenue. Flooding problems have historically threatened life, - property and public health and safety along Ralston Creek. The proposed project will remove blighting influences and stimulate private reinvestment in the area. Further information on the City's proposal is contained in the Small Cities Comprehensive Grant Application and the Citizen Participation Plan, both of which are available at the City Clerk's desk at the Iowa City Civic Center and at the Iowa City Public Library. Any comments on this proposal should be submitted by August 20, 1979. City of Iowa City Civic Center 410 E. Washington St. Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Neal G.

Discussion centered on the parcels to be acquired which are not essential I for the Ralston Creek channel improvements. These parcels include most of the 900 block of South Dubuque Street and most of the 200 block of East Benton Street. The Committee felt that residents should only be displaced I if absolutely essential to reduce flooding. At neighborhood meetings Inez Foster, Marie Alexander and Jim Croker (insurance business) in particular, had expressed a desire to remain at their present location. Staff pointed out that some of the amenities making that area convenient I, for residents (Hy -Vee and laundromat) would soon be gone, and that the area was slated for land consumptive commercial use on the City's I• Comprehensive Plan. Any remaining dwelling units in the area would therefore become nonconforming uses under the new zoning ordinance. CCN members suggested that retaining these housing units would decrease I the chief adverse impacts of the project, namely net loss of dwelling units. CCN members also agreed that the property on the corner of Harrison and Linn Street should be acquired (particularly since the owner appears to wish to sell) even though it is not essential to channel improvements, since it is important to retain a site for assisted housing. Another reason for not acquiring other non-essential parcels in the area I was the suggestion that the property owners might be able to get a better price than the current fair market price for their properties, after creek improvements have been made and the area is more attractive to commercial enterprises. Final recommendation to City Council from CCN: "That properties on the 900 block of South Dubuque Street and the 200 block of East Benton Street which are not necessary for channel improvements, not I' be acquired unless the property owners wish to sell." In addition, there was a consensus of the Committee that the Small Cities I. Project as currently described,. does not have a significant adverse environmental impact. bdw4/2 76 1 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DLS MOIRES J MINUTES COMMITTEIE ON COMMIINTTY NEIEDS Slil'TEMBIER 5, 1979 -- 12:1111 NITON RECREATION CEENTIER -- MEETING ROOM B MEMBERS PRESENT: Swisher, Amidon, Hall, Pecina, Owens, Ilorton, Clark (1:10), Casserly, McCormick (12:30) MEMBERS ABSENT: Johnson, Patrick, Lampe, Barfuss STAFF PRESENT: Milkman, Wilkinson, Hencin, Laverty, Flaherty REECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL: Neighborhood Site Improvement Project: 1.

After a brief presentation by Mr. Hencin, he turned the program over to Kevin Laverty who presented a slide show of the project area. Following the slide show, he explained the various maps showing the effect of the proposed improvements to the area and answered questions from Committee members. Laverty also briefly explained the outline environmental review distributed to CCN members. _ 'rhe discussion centered on the parcels to be acquired, which are not essential to I the Ralston Creek Channel improvements. These parcels include most of the 900 block of S. Dubuque and most of the 200 block of E. Benton Street. The Committee felt that residents should only be displaced if absolutely essential to reduce "j flooding. Staff pointed out that some of the amenities making that area convenient for residents (Hy -Vee and laundromat) would soon be gone, and that the area was slated for land consumptive commercial use on the City's Comprehensive Plan. Any remaining dwelling units in the area would therefore become non -conforming uses under the new zoning ordinance. adverse impacts of the project, namely net loss of dwelling units. CCN members suggested that retaining these housing units would decrease the chief also agreed that the property on the corner of Harrison and Linn Stir CCN members eets should be acquired (particularly since the owner appears to wish to sell) even though it is not essential to channel improvements, since it is important to retain a site for assisted housing. Another reason for not acquiring other non-essential parcels in the area was the suggestion that the property owners might be able to get a better price than the current fair market price for their properties, after creek improvements have been made and the area is more attractive to commercial enterprises. Following this discussion, Casserly moved and Pecina seconded, that properties on the 900 block of S. Dubuque Street and the 200 block of E. Benton Street which are not necessary for channel improvements not be acquired unless the property owners wish to sell. Motion carried unanimously. 79 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES I10MES Committee on Community Needs — September 5, 1979 Page a Swisher also suggested the possibility of using funds not required for acquisition for improvements on the Prentiss Street bridge to reduce the flooding in that area. Horton inquired whether the presence of historic structures had been investigated, as well as the presence of any endangered species in the area, _ In addition, there was a consensus that the Small Cities project, as currently described, does not have a significant adverse environmental impact.

Staff present: Hencin, Laverty, Milkman, Flaherty. CCN member: Johnson Residents and property owners: Gillespie, Busch, Graham, Alexander, Foster, M. Jones, C. Jones, H. Adair, J. Adair, Petersen. This informal meeting was called to discuss the Environmental Review of the Lower Ralston Creek/Small Cities Project. Staff explained the federal requirements concerning environmental assessment and presented a summary of the Lower Ralston Creek/Small Cities Environmental Review Record. A meeting agenda and an outline of the presentation is attached. Questions and concerns expressed by residents and property owners included the following: Ron Johnson, 219h E. Benton Street, pointed out that the project preapplication had indicated that fill was required over the area in the 900 block of S. Dubuque adjacent the creek. Staff responded that the Ralston Creek Storm Water Management Plan, which was completed after the preapplication was submitted, recommended the construction of an earthen dike along the creek's west bank rather than filling the area. 2. Clark Jones, 930 S. Dubuque Street, asked if engineering studies were complete and accurate in showing which properties would need to be acquired for creek improvements. Staff replied that the engineering for the Small Cities Project was done in conjunction with the Storm Water Management Plan for the Ralston Creek watershed, prepared by Shoemaker b Haaland. The improvements proposed for the Small Cities Project are a part of the recommended improvements of this plan and are accurate to the best of our knowledge. 3. Ron Johnson said he felt that property owners and residents are uncertain about the project because the City seems uncertain about what property should be acquired. M MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DE.S :10111ES 2 Staff pointed out that while the application called for the acquisition of all properties adjacent to the creek on the 900 block of S. Dubuque, concerns for displacing residents from properties not actually needed for creek improvements had been expressed in the environmental review, by CCN and the City Council. As a result of these concerns, City Council has directed staff to pursue alter- natives to acquiring and displacing owner -occupants. One alternative might be to acquire only those structures actually needed for creek imarovements, allowing time and market pressures to - replace the remaining residential uses. A second alternative would be to purchase the structures but allow residents to continue occupancy under life estate arrangements. 4. John Gillespie, 1027 Hollywood, owner of commercial property at 311 E. Harrison Street, expressed the concern that he could not relocate his business at what the City would pay him for his present property. Staff responded that until appraisals are made, no determination of just compensation could be made, and that he would be assisted in 1 locating a replacement site. Staff will work with him and others displaced, determining what is available and suitable to their needs. �.l 5. Gillespie also stated that a similar problem would exist in relocating homeowners. Staff replied that while values of residential property in the project area might be lower than values on a city-wide basis, until appraisals are made, we won't know how great the spread is. The federal requirements of the Uniform Act allow the City to provide up to $15,000, in addition to the acquisition price, in the form of a replacement housing payment to displaced home owners. City Council has also indicated that, if necessary, that the City may exceed this $15,000 maximum as allowed under CD8G programs. 6. Gillespie stated that he felt the life estate arrangement for owner - occupied residents was a good idea. 7. Ron Johnson suggested that we ask property owners present at the meeting if they were willing to sell their property. Staff replied that while this could be done, that at a later date people might feel differently. 8. Inez Foster, 916 S. Dubuque Street, said that she would like to sell ~ her property at 926 South Dubuque, but that her aunt, Marie Alexander, 916 South Dubuque would like to retain her property if possible. 82 _ MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110111[; 3 Staff replied that Mrs. Alexander would be able to continue to live in her home if she desired. 9. Ron Johnson asked that if one or more residential properties remained on the 900 Block of South Dubuque, wouldn't it be more difficult to resell for commercial use? Staff replied that it would be, however, the first priority of the project is to be flood control. Commercial redevelopment is a lesser priority. City Council has indicated that home owners should be permitted to continue residing in their homes if that is their preference. Staff pointed out that the neighborhood had lost much of its residential character and that the closing of the Hy -Vee store would diminish its residential character further. Eventually, market factors are likely to replace residential uses in the area. 10. Johnson stated that he had originally purchased his property because of the M1 zoning, and that he had intended to eventually convert his properties to commercial use. Johnson also pointed out that the area was the only available commercial area that remained near the downtown, and that because of the rising cost of automobile transportation, commercial development in this area would be particularly important. Johnson also pointed out that because of the demand for housing in Iowa City, particularly after the down zoning of the north side, the development of housing in the area should be considered. Staff pointed out that in order for the land to be developed for uses other than land consumptive commercial the Comprehensive Plan would have to be changed. However, in the process of developing the City's new Zoning Ordinance, some changes could possibly be expected. Staff suggested that Mr. Johnson become involved in the development of the new Zoning Ordinance. 11. Johnson asked if it were possible for current property owners to retain ownership while improvements were made, or if not, to purchase the property after improvements were made. Staff replied that federal requirements would not permit public improvements of this nature on private property. In reselling the property the City must follow State law which requires a bidding process. Current owners could bid on property but could receive no preference. 12. Johnson asked if the land would be resold in small parcels or as a package, stating that if the land were resold in large parcels small businesses would effectively be eliminated from bidding and that large developers would benefit. Staff responded that the disposition plan for the project has not been established but that his observation was probably valid. 83 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -0[S 1101 nEs 13. Johnson asked if the current commercial property not needed for creek improvements could be retained by current owners. Staff responded that purchase offers would be extended to all property owners. Any additional changes in the original plan to acquire properties would have to come from City Council. 14. Denny Petersen, 932 Oakcrest, owner of commercial property on Lafayette Street, asked what a Small Business Investment Corporation would do. Staff explained that a SBIC was a non-profit organization that would provide incentives, in the form of low interest loans, for small and minority businesses to be initiated in the area. This concept could be developed and carried out using CDBG and SBA funding as seed money. 15. David Busch, 223 East Benton Street, asked about the bike path mentioned in the environmental review. Li Staff replied that a bike path could be constructed in the area along the newly constructed west bank of the creek. The Comprehensive Plan encourages this use. The construction of a bike path would also facilitate access needed to maintain the creek and the creek bedding. 16. John Gillespie stated that he would prefer to see the area developed as a park rather than for commercial use. -' Staff replied that a bike path would in effect provide a linear park, and that some commercial uses might even benefit from having such a use in their backyards. 17. Josephine Graham, 205 E. Benton St., suggested that the creek should be deepened rather than widened and that banks be stabilized with brick. —. Staff pointed out that the creek will be dredged in some area, but that in order to provide sufficient capacity the width of the west bank would have to be increased. 18. Several residents stated that they were much more comfortable with the project as it now was stated. Attachments: 1. Agenda 2.

Washington St. Iowa City, Iowa 52240 (319) 354-1800 TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS AND PERSONS: The Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Revitalization Project will be carried out by the City of Iowa City using Title I CDBG funds from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The primary element of the project is the control of Ralston Creek flooding. Channel improvements to Ralston Creek will be made in the area shown on the attached map. The scheduled channel improvements are part of Iowa City's Storm Water Management Plan for Ralston Creek. The Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Revitalization Project will involve deepening and widening the Creek, the placement of fill and the construction of land forms and retaining walls. These actions are intended to contain the base flood (100 -year flood) within the reconstructed channel banks, and to protect existing houses and businesses. Because of the nature of the Project there is no practicable alternative to construction in the existing Ralston Creek flood plain. The channel improvements to be constructed through the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Revitalization Project conform to applicable State and local flood plain protection standards. The alternative of not making the channel improvements has been considered by the City of Iowa City and is discussed in the Environmental «� Review Record for this Project. This Environmental Review Record is on file at the above address and is available for public examination and copying, upon request. Individuals or agencies wishing to comment upon this Project should do so in writing before December 26, 1979. City of Iowa City Neal G.

Some of the groups and their environments are discussed below. September started out with a trip by the Senior Citizens to historical Southeast Iowa. Here we spent a whole day looking at buildings from the 1800's. The Senior Citizens continue to play an active role inthe Community Center. Several do Tolunteer work at the Center. This shows up in time spent on committees such as the Library Committee and the Board of Directors and hours spent answering phone and taking messages. Boys and girls club continue into September too. Girls club took a sack lunch and a hike to colorful Hickory Hill Park. The girls meet every Tuesday afternoon at 3.30. Attendance is generally between 8 and 12. New members are joining every week. Boys club also meets weekly on Tuesday afternoon. Attendance for this group ranges from 15 to 25. Royal Benjamen, a volunteer from Youth Guidance, leads the boys in outside sports and games. Football games are top on the list. Th^ young women's group program has also grown at the Center. A housing specialist came and talked about tenant and landlord rights. Problems were discussed and written in the form of questions. Further meetings with property manager, Bob Johnson, and HUD Representative, Mark Smart, were discussed and organized. Other activities that this group did during September was to tour Plum Grove. The women enjoy a chance to meet and "get away" from the regular routine. Besides, several members do not own cars and feel locked in. A Latch Key worker was hired at the center this month. Stella Tucker with a B.A. in Recreation is also a graduate student in the recreationrprog- ram at U of I. Stella will be working in the afternoons organizing activi- ties with the children. October was a month of meetings and planning. The Library Committee decided to write a grant from the RIF program. Carol Spaziani said the City Library Board may even have funds to help out. Pottery classes began on Tuesday mornings at the Center. Many talented renidents took part in making bowls, coffee pots, cups and dishes. Brad, an art education student from U of I encouraged the class on. This wa.s one of the Center's more creative programs. Another art class started to October. This class is a drawing class and taught by an art education student. Several parties were organized at the Center in October. The Senior Citizens took a walk through Hickory Hill Park and admired the colorful fall leaves. A canoe trip from Iowa City to Hills sent 15 boys club members into a fun afternoon of adventure. Girls club organized a pizza party at Debbie's house,. Ten girls crowded into Debbie's Volkswagen and headed for the Hillsl A Halloween party for the teens was planned by the guys at the Center.

Michigan's legislature enacted an ex• perimental, conventional, compulsory ar• bitration *statute In 1969 which was amended in 1974 to Institute a "final• offer" process. No statutory expiration date was Imposed. During the period 1969 to 1973, the statute had delegated wide discretion to arbitrators to Issue their awards based on the equities of the situa• lion, as perceived by the third -party neu• tral. The awards soon generated a spate of classic criticisms that arbitrators tend. ed to compromise the opposing positions by "splitting the differences." To cope with these objections, the stat• ute was amended to require each party to submit a final position on each "eco. nomic Issue;' with the arbitrator then obligated to choose the precise posi• tion (without modification( of one of the parties. The intent was to avoid the com- promising tendencies of arbitrators and, more important, to encourage both par• lies to seek agreement without resort to arbitration. According to some observers, the more risk that an arbitrator might choose the other parry's after spurred the free collective bargaining process and facilitated the preparation of a "reason• able position." If the parties were deter• mined to risk the arbitration showdown. The league study, however, stresses that the statute, as adopted, departed tram the more common approach to final offer arbitration, wherein each party submitted a "total package" comprising its "lest best offer" with the arbitrator constrained to select the entire package (without change) of the union or the am. Player. Ostegsibly, when the legislature deviated from this classic approach, If took the heart out of the process and enabled arbitrators to spill their deal• slons, as they did under the original stat• ute which provided for conventional arbl• tration. The study also concludes that the "final offer" process has not mel the test of timeliness or efficiency. It quotes another study to make the point that compllca- tions result from the process, which now takes more than a year. Beyond the fact that both sides are confronted with uncer- tainties, it generates difficulties in financ• Ing retroactive Increases, and the em• ployees do not receive Interest (and thus suffer losses) even when a retroactive increase Is achieved. Many of the arguments raised In the study are the standard ones. It is con• tended that compulsory arbitration re- moves responsibility from the bargaining parties to settle their differences and Places It in the hands of private parties (arbitrators) who are not accountable to the taxpayers. The (apart stales that it Is the police and firefighter unions which profit at the expenw of the taxpayer. In support of this, the point Is made that, In all but one case, It Is the unions, not the MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 10111E5 employers, which have demanded Com- pulsory arbitration. The assumption Is made, a priori, that, if the process were really viewed as equitable by the parties. both employers end unions would initiate the process from time to hme. Ths etudy is based on an analysis of 153 compulsory arbitration awards issued since the amended law became effeclive, In 1973. In essence, the report says that the league's experience with the statute to date confirms its earlier apprehension. (The league objected to the imposition of compulsory arbitration before the original bill was enacted in 1969.) In 1979, the league argues that there were very few police or firefighter strikes prior to com- pulsory arbitration, "and it is not likely that there would be many such strikes if (the lawl were rescinded" aaql� DO(' i' xk*.'

'I he Local Review Program will invile the assistance of local government officials in spotting possible errors in the pre -census and post -census counts of addresses. The Complete Count Commit- tees will consist of citizens appointed by the principal elected officials in the states, counties, and municipalities to help encourage public cooperation with the census. More than half the questions in the 1980 Census will focus on the nation's projected 86 million housing units—their condition, value. energy usage, and other subjects of statistical impor- tance for the planning and management decisions that confront government .and the private sector. These statistics will guide local, state, and federal agencies' decisions about urban renewal, water and sewage availability, new school openings and closings, mortgage assistance programs, the control of resi-dential growth, and mass transportation needs.

SEWER AND WATER emergency water supply 219 IlicginsviNr, Alissouri (5,000) has constructed an emergency water supply system for use during periods of drought. The system consists of a 12' pipeline running from the Missouri River to the Iligginmille Reservoir, a river intake structure, and a pumping facility. Because of its cost, a concrete intake structure, placed in the river at the terminus of the intake line, was not built and a 10' suction hose wan substituted. class 50 ductile iron pipe was in%tallcd a compromise between the nmreexpensive class 52 ductile ironand the cheaper class 200 plastic— at a cost of S871,465. The system is now a backup source for the chyli two impoundment reservoirs. storm water detention 220 Iowa Cirv, Iowa (50,000) has taken an extra step to prevent property damage and to control erosion and sedimentation caused by storm water runoff. New subdivision developments were causing an increased flow of water into established downstream areas. Now, all new residential subdivisionsand commercial developments over two acres in size are required to temporarily store rainfall runoff and release it at a very low rate. The storm water detention areas do increase the cost of new building lots, and land des'edapers have objected to the detention require- mcros. But through the construction of the detention structures, downstream flows have been reduced and adverse reaction from property owners downstream --has been mitigated.

This program was established for the Purpose of revitalizing the older areas of Iowa City through physical improvements using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Meetings were held with residents of the Northside Area in order to get ideas for neighborhood projects. Through this process, three projects were selected to be funded out of a budget of $75,00(). 'These included sidewalk repair, alley repair and bus stop facilities and equipment. An additional project which was developed for the entire CDBG project arca was tree planting. The initial start-up phase of the project required more time than was originally unticipnted, however the project did acquire momentum this summer. The following is an update of the progress nude on the Northsido NSI projects, rand u time schedule for those projects remaining to be completed. BUS STOP LiquipMBNT The residents of the Northside Area selected the installation of bus stop equipment (benches and shelters) as one of their projects. The project was allocated a budget of $4,500. Using suggestions from the resident meetings, several sites were selected which were high traffic areas. These sites were: Dubuque and Church (bench), Gilbert and Church (bench), Governor and Market (bench), Van Buren and Market (shelter), and Church and North Dodge (shelter). The shelters and benches for this project have been purchased and arrangements to install them are currently being made, ALLEY RI'PAIR Two valleys in the Northside Area were scheduled to be paved through the NSI program. The alleys are located in the two blocks bounded by Johnson, Dodge, Fairchild and Bloomington Streets. Both of these alleys receive a high amount of traffic ill) week due to the activities (including Congregate Meals) scheduled at Zion Lutheran Church and St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church. Both of these alleys have recently been paved and clean -tip work is currently being completed. i Although it was not originally scheduled, the gravel alleys in the Northside Area received a coat of gravel. This opportunity became possible when extra money became available in the NSI program. SIDEWALK The sidewalk repair program in the Northside Area was originally designed to involve a combination of property assessments and grant assistance to lower income residents. However, after many attempts to make this program succeed, it became obvious that it would be necessary to revise it to make it workable. City staff therefore proposed :a new program which was simply to repair as much sidewalk as possible with the money :available. The budget allocated to this program was $40,000. If the program is revised in a manner consistent with the staff recommendation, the available money would be used to repair "high priority" sidewalks (based on the location of public facilities such as schools and churches, the amount of pedestrian traffic on sections of sidewalk, and the condition of the various sections of sidewalk). The following would therefore be the process used to repair the sidewalks in the Northside Area: I. All sidewalks would be inspected to determine how much repair is needed, Z. A system of priorities would be developed for the area to determine which sections of sidewalk should be done first (including suggestions from residents). 3. Plans and specifications would be drawn up based on current cost estimates (with the option to add more sidewalk if it is economically feasible), 4. The project would be bid, and once an actual price was received, a determination could be made as to whether additional sidewalks could be repaired, 5. The project would he carried out and completed by the end of next stammer. J7.. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS.OES r101a Es If the above process is used, it is anticipated that this project could be bid early next spring, and completed by the end of next summer. In order to proceed, another residents' meeting will be held to allow the residents to comment on this proposal. At that time, the opportunity will also exist to either modify the program outlined above or to possibly pick another project. TREE PLANTING Since tree planting was a major concern in all the areas involved in the NSI Program, a special tree planting program was set up. This program was allocated a budget of $21,000 for the purpose of planting trees in public medians throughout the CDBG area. Residents in each of the NSI areas were sent an application form which they could fill out and send in to request a tree. Billie Hauber, the City Forester, then in- vestigated each site to determine if space was available for a tree in accordance with the City Tree Ordinance. Once locations were selected, trees were then purchased anti delivered to the residents. It was the residents' responsibility to plant the tree. Assistance was provided by Camp Fire Girls to those elderly anti handicapped residents who requested assistance. The trees were delivered on November 2 and 3 and have all been planted.

The following information summarizes some of the sessions. One of the keynote speakers was the futurist Alan Toffler who spoke at an opening session about his belief that we will increasingly see the breakup of industrial society as we know it today. There will be decentralization with increased diversity in all areas of society, including economics and government. This will lead to a breakdown of consensus on most issues both nationally and locally. In the years immediately ahead it will be necessary for government to develop a process for dealing with this increased diversity. This will be apparent both in budget techniques and program execution at the local level. A major theme of the conference was managing with less. One of the principal speakers in this area was Alan K. Campbell, Director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. He indicated that in the years immediately ahead there will be major opportunities for citizens to take on responsibility for performing part of the services currently provided by local government. There has to be greater managerial discretion and more incentives built into the system together with the removal of negative controls. Employees must be stimulated to chance change in city government. Public reporting basically is the reporting of negative antidotes. Increasingly there will have to be positive reporting and development of information which will provide citizens with a clear understanding of the capabilities and the progress of local government. Another session was entitled "Learning From Business" with experts in marketing and finance. Cities must be more conscious of getting back in touch with what people really need. The best way to meet the needs of the organization is to understand and meet the needs of the public which is to be served. A variety of ideas were suggested for communicating with the public. An emphasis was placed upon clearly taking into account the needs and attitudes of the public in development and execution of city programs. A properly executed marketing program for city services results in increased citizen satisfaction. The other participant primarily reviewed the positive and negative characteristics of city ownership versus leasing of equipment. The conference also included a number of workshops. One of the workshops attended by the City Manager was Manager -Staff Relations: Developing a Team Approach." Several mechanisms were discussed for utilizing management personnel on a team basis. Some of the suggestions mentioned are procedures already utilized by Iowa City. However, there are always other opportunities. =qyD MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES !10111ES E The development of the staff as a team is not always easy going primarily when we have very strong willed individuals. One of the areas that we plan to utilize is the increased involvement of department personnel in the selection of new employees. We have used department and division heads increasingly this year in the assessment of capital improvement projects and the department heads will be developing proposals on long- term city space needs. One of the more interesting sessions was how to cope with a divided city council. While there were not many solutions, there was a great deal of discussion and story telling. At one of the sessions, three managers were interviewed by a consultant on management styles. It is clear that management style, to some extent, must be situational and will tend to vary depending upon the nature of the staff, the city council and the community. However, running through the situational nature are certain overriding consistencies in an individual's role. There also was a session with university communities. There was discussion about parking, housing and coordination with the university. Chapel Hill, North Carolina, is utilizing a permit parking system in residential neighborhoods. Corvallis, Oregon, has developed a monthly meeting with representatives of the university, the city, the county, the Chamber of Commerce and the student government. Perhaps we should think of a broader effort. Gainesville, Florida, has a landlord licensing ordinance which controls rentals in single family residential districts. They also have a university community council consisting of students, faculty members, administration, city and community leaders. Phoenix is an example of a dead central business district and the result of sprawl. The central business district consists of government offices, several hotels, a civic center and virtually nothing else. On evenings and weekends the central business district is dead.

Pro- posals may be submitted any time during the 1980 Fiscal Year. Proposals will be accepted for projects of 36 or more family units (two -three-four or more bedrooms per unit). However, if conventional financing is proposed, projects will be accepted with a minimum of 12 living units These units may be located anywhere within Iowa City or Johnson County. Proposals may be submitted by Private Owners or Public Housing Agencies. This procedure is a departure from past procedures where proposals were accepted for only a specific number of units and a specific time period. Under this new procedure, proposals may be submitted at any time and the HUD Field Office will batch and rank proposals received by the close of business the last day of each month beginning November 30, 1979. When sufficient proposals are received to use available contract authority, the Field Office will withdraw the Notification. Appropriate instructions, forms, and other program information are contained in a Developer's Packet which may be obtained by writing to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Room 259, 210 Walnut Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50309, or telephone (515) 284-4687. SOLAR ENERGY GRANTS The City will soon be soliciting bids and proposals for installing solar col- lectors on several homes (collector is defined broadly), At least two grants, of up to $3,500, will be awarded during November or December to homeowners to in- stall either active or passive solar heat- ing to supplement their space heating and/or domestic hot water heating. To contract for the work you must be able to supply the names and addresses of at least two residential solar collector in- stallations that you have completed, to demonstrate past experience with solar energy, If you are interested in the program, please call Roger Tinklenberg at 354-1800, Ext, 205, November 1979 NEW PLAN REVIEW PROCESS The Building Inspection Division has initiated a new plan checking process. Under the new system, individual inspectors, including housing, plumbing, electrical and zoning will be involved in review- ing the plans. The revised system has been initi- ated following discussions with the Electrical Board at which time it was suggested that a more detailed plan checking process could elimi- nate costly construction corrections. Under the new system, an applicant will continue to submit two sets of plans and complete a building permit application form. The permit appli- cation, plans and specifications will then be contained in a file which will be routed and reviewed by a variety of inspectors. Plans requiring review by the Fire Marshal will also be included in the routing. Each inspector will indicate any violations in the code noted on the plans and will sign the prints in- dicating a review. The new system is designed to achieve three goals. First is to improve up- on the record keeping system such that the print review status of any application is known at any point in time, secondly, we are trying to min- imize code violations that may occur due to misinterpretations or areas of omission which,, when not discover- ed until construction is underway, often are very costly if not diffi- cult to correct. Thirdly, it is ex- pected that after some reorientation of the staff and the contractors through the new system, that not only accuracy but a quicker turnaround time on the permit application will be realized.

The first part of this memorandum will report specific information concerning the buildings surveyed. The second part will discuss the general comments and feedback given to the staff concerning redevelopment. I. SPECIFIC FINDINGS A. Presently Occupied Buildings 1. Younker's Department Store Building (Contact Person: Don Crum, Younker's Store Manager) This building has two floors plus a basement with a total size of approximately 38,000 square feet. The building is leased by Younker's, which has a lease on the building for another ten years and has renewal options that it may exercise thereafter. Younker's will be responsible for subleasing this building to a new tenant(s), with possession to be after Younker's moves into Old Capitol Center. Mr. Crum indicated that there is no lease commitment at this time, but stated that Younker's was fully confident that the building will be occupied by a future tenant(s) within a reasonable time after the space becomes available. He predicted a variable period of up to 12 months during which the building would not be open for business so as to allow for remodeling of the building as necessary. Mr. Crum indicated that Younker's will be selective in their recruitment of a future tenant(s) and will only sublease to quality businesses which will contribute to the attractiveness of the downtown. 2. J.C. Penney's Department Store Building (Contact Person: Roy Koza, Owner of Building) This building has one floor plus a basement with a total size of approximately 33,000 square feet. The building is owned by Roy Koza and is leased to Penney's through 1983. Penney's also will be moving into Old Capitol Center. Mr. Koza indicated that he and his son will be directly involved in leasing the building to a new MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEOAR RAPIOS•DES FIOIMES 2 tenant(s). He has no actual lease commitment at present but he does not foresee any major difficulty in leasing the space. He has had some inquiries about the space but believes that it is somewhat premature at this time to begin any active solicitation of a new tenant(s). 3. Osco's Drug Store Building (Contact Person: Robert Fox, Owner of Building) This building has a ground floor area of 6,000 square feet. The building is owned by Robert Fox and the retail space is currently leased to Osco Drug. According to Mr. Fox, Osco's lease for the retail space will expire shortly after Osco moves into Old Capitol Center. As of now, there is no new tenant with a lease commitment, but Mr. Fox is talking to interested prospects and does not expect any major difficulty in leasing this space. 4. Enzler's, 116 E. Washington Street (Contact Person: Ernest Lehman) This building has one floor plus a basement with a total size of 4,000 square feet. The building is owned by F&S Properties and is leased to Enzler's Inc, through 1981, with a five year renewal option thereafter. Mr. Lehman stated that Enzler's plans to move into the former Roshek's site by March, 1980. There is presently no lease commitment for a new tenant to succeed Enzler's at 116 E. Washington, but several prospects are talking to the building owners. Mr. Lehman indicated that there has been plenty of interest expressed in leasing this space. He stated that Enzler's will be involved in approving the selection of a successor tenant, and will only agree to terminate their lease when a quality tenant is secured. He expects a new tenant to be open for business at this location by July or August, 1980. 5. St. Clair Johnson, 124 E. Washington Street (Contact Person: Donald Hebert) This building has a ground floor area of 2,100 gross leasable square feet. The building is owned by 124 Building Corporation and the ground floor retail space is leased to St. Clair Johnson through August, 1981. Mr. Hebert indicated that St. Clair Johnson plans to move into the former Roshek's site by April, 1980. He indicated that there is presently no new tenant committed by lease to succeed St. Clair Johnson, but that there have been many inquiries that he has forwarded on to the building owners. Mr. Hebert expects that the building owners will have no difficulty in leasing this space. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110 RIES -- 3 6. Perpetual Savings & Loan Association, 132 E. Washington St. (Contact Person: George Dane, Iowa State Bank & Trust Co.) This building is owned by the Bremer Trust, with Iowa State Bank acting as trustee and building manager. The building is currently leased to Perpetual Savings and Loan Association. A new tenant, American Federal Savings and Loan Association, is committed by lease to move into the building after Perpetual moves to its new location at the corner of Burlington and Clinton. 7. Jefferson Building (Contact Persons: George Dane and Richard Gibson, U of I Facilities Planning) This building is owned by the University of Iowa Foundation. The first floor of the building is used primarily for retail shops and is fully leased. The basement of the building is presently available for lease. The rest of the building is utilized by the University of Iowa, primarily the College of Education. Mr. Gibson indicated that the University will continue usage of the building for the foreseeable future. Once the College of Education moves out of the building, other University departments will move in. 8. Plaza Centre One (Contact Person: Jack Klaus, Old Capitol Associates) This building is owned by Old Capitol Associates and contains five floors plus a basement. The building contains 64,000 square feet of gross leasable area. This is divided into 14,000 square feet for retail use, and 50,000 square feet for office space. At this time the building is 98% leased. 9. Savings and Loan Building, 101 College Street (Contact Person: Jay Oehler) This building is owned by Investments Incorporated and consists of three floors plus a basement, with a total area of approximately 14,500 square feet, primarily used for offices. Mr. Oehler indicated that the building is now fully leased. The McGladrey CPA firm recently moved to Plaza Centre One, but their former space has been leased. There is presently no committed tenant for the space on the first floor which will be vacated by First Federal Savings and Loan Association in Fall, 1980. However, Mr. Oehler stated that there are prospects MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MoinEs 4 interested in this space and he expects no difficulty in leasing the First Federal space. B. Renovated Building 1. 118 S. Clinton Street (formerly Roshek's) Contact Person: Ernest Lehman Mr. Lehman indicated that this entire building has been leased by Enzler's Inc. from the Carl F. Strub heirs. Enzler's is currently remodeling the building. Dee Gosling and Co, is subleasing the entire second floor from Enzler's. The first floor and basement will be shared by Enzler's and its sublessee, St. Clair Johnson. The building is expected to be fully occupied by April, 1980. C. New Buildings I. Mod Pod Building (Burlington and Dubuque Streets) (Contact Person: Wesley Fotsch) This building was recently completed and is owned by Mod Pod, Inc. The building contains 2 floors plus a basement and has 5,600 square feet in gross leasable space. Of this amount, only 600 square feet is still available for lease. This space is just now being finished off and Mr. Fotsch expects to have this remaining space leased and occupied by January, 1980. 2. Perpetual Savings & Loan Association (Burlington & Clinton Streets) (Contact Person: David Hintze, Perpetual Savings & Loan) This building is nearing completion and will house the new offices of Perpetual by January, 1980. Mr. Hintze indicated that the entire building will be utilized by Perpetual, so no leasable space will be available. 3. First Federal Saving & Loan Association,(Court & Dubuque Sts.) (Contact Person: Donald Duncan, First Federal) Construction of this building is underway with completion expected in the fall of 1980. The building will have two floors and a basement, and will be used principally for office space. First Federal will occupy approximately 5,000 square feet of the approximately 13,000 square feet in gross leasable area. Mr. Duncan stated that none of this additional space is now committed by lease but there are prospective tenants for 2,700 square feet and he does MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS.DES 6101RES 5 not anticipate any difficulty in leasing the balance of the building by Fall, 1980. 4. Old Capitol Center (Contact Persons: Jack Klaus and Donald Scatena Old Capitol Associates) This enclosed retail shopping center is being developed by Old Capitol Associates. The building will have two floors and a partial basement with a total of approximately 200,000 square feet in gross leasable area. Mr. Klaus and Mr. Scatena indicated that approximately 62% of the gross leasable space is actually under lease at the present time with another 20% of the gross leasable space committed but not yet secured with executed leases. Thus, Old Capitol stated that a total of 82% of the gross leasable area is now committed. Mr. Klaus and Mr. Scatena further indicated that they have had more than enough interested prospects for the remaining available space, but are now holding off from making additional lease commitments so as to be very selective and thus assure the proper "mix" of retail tenants in the center. D. Summary Of the 14 buildings surveyed by the staff, four buildings are fully leased and can be expected to remain so: present Perpetual S&L, new Perpetual S&L, Savings and Loan Building, and the former Roshek's building. In addition, four buildings are leased to a substantial degree with good prospects for being fully leased in the near term: Jefferson Building, Plaza Centre One, Mod Pod, and Old Capitol Center. Of the other six buildings, five are fully leased at present and are expected to continue to be fully leased in the future by new tenants who will replace these current tenants: Younker's, Penney's, Osco's, Enzler's, and St. Clair Johnson. The sixth building, the new First Federal building, will be completed in fall, 1980, at which time it is expected to be substantially occupied. II. GENERAL FINDINGS The persons contacted for this survey were all receptive and quite cooperative in offering specific information to the staff about their buildings. Many individuals also took considerable time to comment in general terms about the redevelopment of downtown Iowa City. The consensus expressed to the staff conveyed a high degree of optimism about the future of downtown. The individuals contacted identified a "pent up" demand for additional retail and office space by both existing downtown businesses and firms which desire to locate downtown. In recent years, opportunities MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MONIES bc4/4 0 for expansion and for new businesses downtown have been very limited. The persons surveyed welcomed the addition of more commercial and office space downtown. There was recognition that there will be temporary vacancies created as existing downtown businesses relocate elsewhere in the downtown to better suit their needs, but this was viewed as a vital and healthy process which will eventually "shake down" into a stable downtown with expanded opportunities for shoppers. It was mentioned by several individuals that having a small, continuous amount of vacant space downtown will promote competition among building owners to maintain and improve their buildings, whereas a situation without available vacancies allows certain owners to minimize their investments while charging rents that the market is forced to bear. The individuals who commented expect greater competition in the rental rates offered downtown and also expect a range of rents to be available so that diverse enterprises can select locations which correlate to their ability to pay. There was a strong belief among many individuals contacted that a significant number of new businesses can be expected to locate in downtown Iowa City in the next several years as more leasable space becomes available. This belief was based on actual contact between these individuals and prospective new businesses. Apparently, there has been an ongoing flow of unsolicited inquiries for the rental of space downtown by prospective tenants. The individuals who commented recognized this and welcomed the addition of new businesses downtown. While agreeing that the location of new businesses downtown will serve to promote competition with existing businesses, the individuals who commented believe that this greater diversity of shopping opportunities will markedly increase the capability of the downtown to attract and draw more shoppers from both within and without Johnson County in the years ahead.

RE: Iowa City Retail Analysis DATE: November 27, 1979 In order to determine whether or not a third department store will cause adverse effects on existing downtown merchants in non -department store operations, Zuchelli, Hunter & Associates, Inc., was assigned the task of evaluating the market for a third major department store in Iowa City's downtown area. To carry out this assignment, considerable amounts of statistical data from a variety of sources was collected and analyzed. Supple- menting this statistical examination of the market, a series of interviews with downtown business leaders was conducted by city staff personnel. This analysis is structured according to a normal progres- sion of nine distinct tables. Tables 1 through 5 derive the amount of net new supportable square footage of shoppers goods from 1980 to 1985, and Tables 6 through 9 refine that figure to reflect net new department store square footage supportable for 1980 to 1985. Table 1 estimates retail expenditure levels for Johnson County based on population, number of households, and average disbursable household income for the years 1975 through 1990. The table indicates that, in 1975, the retail expenditure level in Johnson County was approximately $159.2 million, and by 1990 will have increased to approximately $324.3 million. As would normally be expected, Table 1 shows that as aver- age household income increases, that portion of household income going to retail expenditures decreases. Furthermore, Table 1 indicates that at lower levels of household income a greater portion of retail expenditures is accounted for by convenience goods expenditures than is the case at higher -income levels. Generally speaking, Table 2 is a continuation of Table 1. Where Table 1 derived shoppers and convenience goods expendi- ture levels, Table 2 starts with that information and, in con- junction with retail sales volumes,shows that portion of market MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOUIES a+ -2- ZUCHELLI, HUNTER & ASSOCIATES, INC.

In other words, 39.2 per cent of that portion of the household income of market -area residents spent on shoppers goods was spent outside of the market area. By 1977, shoppers goods expenditure outflow had dropped somewhat to 34.8 per cent, but is expected to rise to 38.1 per cent by 1980 as a result of new shopping center development in Cedar Rapids. Between 1980 and 1985 with the opening of the downtown shopping center in Iowa City and the addition of approximately 266,250 square feet of new, first -quality shoppers goods space (assuming development of the third department store as proposed), resident expenditure outflow will fall below 15 per cent. Table 3 calculates the change in retail sales levels that will be realized between 1980 and 1990 based on Table 2 above for both shoppers goods and convenience goods.

The table indicates that given the development of the pro- posed new space, shoppers goods retail sales volumes will increase in excess of $53 million between 1980 and 1985. Table 4 transforms this increase in shoppers goods sales into net new supportable square footage by applying sales -per - square -foot levels to the expected increase in sales. In order to maintain a conservative estimating posture, a sales level of $90 per square foot for shoppers goods was assumed for the years between 1980 and 1985.

Chiat; Pau G avec, Ames Engineering; John Benz, Hansen. Lind Meyer. 570-1122 Memo from Chiat-Potential vacancies in selected buildings in CBD, and memo from Zuchelli-Iowa City Retail Analysis, as distributed with packet, noted. Chiat summarized information from his report and Zuchelli discussed the conclusions in his report. He stated that population and income figures were conservative. The report states that 39t of each shoppers goods dollar is leaving the area, at least a thirty million dollar outflow. All figures are current dollar values (not inflated). The analysis clearly shows, Zuchelli stated, support for the third market place, without undue impact on existing merchants. After discussion of changing language regarding definition of 'department store', Zuchelli noted that Council could reject any unworthy proposal. There were no objections to offering the bid in two parts, Option A, without retail space, only ancillary retail supported by hotel or Option B, retail space supported by hotel including the depart- ment store. Zuchelli discussed major changes made from the first draft itsub of the prospectus; meeting minimum price of $250,000, and consideration of revene bonds (industrial), which will require a change in the City's ordinance; specifications for q of floors, M of rooms, HVAC system, conference space restaurant, swimming pool; importance of hotel management; and addition of limiting factors for department store. Zuchelli called attention to EPA funds available, and possible Iowa City eligibility. Council will move at Tues, meeting to submit the prospectus for bidding in January, (early April for receipt of bids) AGENDA AND COUNCIL BUSINESS 1. Regarding Dir.

Berlin proposed changes in procedure for budget review. The 1350-1547 Capital Improvements Program will have two discussions, the first will be provision of information on each project, general overall cost consid- erations for specific projects and total program; provision of information of kinds of problems Staff is dealing with with the general operating budget in regards to revenue for the City, and an indication of whether or not the general fund is in balance or not. Secondly, Staff will provide more specific information about the general operating budget with the emphasis on general fund, indicating preliminary cost estimates, how they are balanced (or unbalanced) with various revenue sources, and discuss program priorities, Council giving some indication of priorities. Finally Staff would come back with a CIP in the standard format with supporting documents, and then the operating budget in a standard format. Council agreed that this method was worth a try. Councilman -elect Lynch will be invited to attend. Budget hearings will be held on Wednesdays except for third Wed. (JCRPC). Council will meet on 12/13 with chair- persons of Boards and Commissions. Neuhauser expressed concern about the energy conservation program, and direction of Commission. EXECUTIVE Reel #16, Side 2, 1-1121.
