-
Ostedgaard/Kirkman.
Director's Report: First Quarter FY 1979 Review of Goals attached.
Carol de Prosse gave a brief review of upcoming referendum campaign
events.
The Board approved an addendum to the Policy for Meeting Rooms use,
which sets a $6.00/hour fee for after-hours use of meeting rooms and
insures that employees will be covered for insurance while,on such
duty. The addendum includes administration guidelines. Kirkman/
Richerson.
The President's Report included a brief summation of referendum acti-
vities to date.
The Board decided no action was necessary for setting fees for con-
tracting jurisdictions for library service for FY 1980. The formula
adopted a year ago allows the fees to be computed administratively.
The Board reviewed first quarter FY 1979 goals and statistics.
The review by the Board of goals and objectives for FY 1980 generated
much discussion. The Board was asked by the Director to allocate
more time in future years to review the goals and objectives. The
Board finally reached the conclusion that it was a wasted effort
to set priorities until outcome of the election was known. The
Board asked the Director to make an Appendix to Level 2 which would
include amounts necessary to have resources to adequately plan for a
new building, a one-time expenditure which regular budget should
not absorb.

IN GENERAL
1. STAFFING: Loss of one CETA position in August. Increasingly
difficult to fill and hold Work/Study positions.
- 2. HOURS: Loss of staffing almost offsets time gained, through
decreased hours. User reaction to reduced hours has ranged
from sharp dissent to mild disappointment. Students especially
inconvenienced with lack of evening and weekend hours. Library
is now 8-12 hours/week below state and national standards for
service hours for libraries in communities above 25,000. First
quarter statistics show 68 fewer hours and a 28 drop in circu-
lation so all service desks are busier when open.
3. MATERIALS: Buying materials which have increased in price
from 10-20% since a year ago with a budget which is only 38
larger makes selection more difficult and thus more costly.
An axiom of materials selection: the fewer titles you buy,
the more carefully you must select. Selection is our most
costly task.
4. SPACE: Lack of space for staff, equipment, storage and
materials must be faced every day and is usually the barrier
to any proposal for change or improvement.

6olnick moved, Houck seconded, to approve the minutes,, of the October
10, 1978, meeting as read. i
Report on the October 17 Special Meeting
Tinklenberg reported that Denniger and Stager were present, therefore,
due to the lack of a quorum no official business was conducted. Plastino
and Tinklenberg were She staff present. In the discussion of the scope'
of services for the consultant doing the, energy analysis of the Civic d
Center, the conclusion reached was that the City should use the State
of Iowa's requirements for Class A Energy Auditors as the scope of services.
Denniger agreed to secure a copy of the requirements. It was also noted
that the consultant should evaluate the University's offer of a tie-in
to their Delta 2000 building control system. �
Discussion of the Sco a of Services for the Civic Center Consultant
The Commissioners felt that the decision, made at the Special Meeting, i
to use the Iowa regulations as the scope of services was fine.
I
Heat Loss Identification Project !
The memo form Angela Ryan, the Assistant City Attorney, to Roger Tinklenberg,
re the three questions refered to the Legal Staff at the last meeting,
was discussed. The legal opinion reaffirms the fee structure, the use
of the receipts to offset project costs, and that the instrument must be
sold at the end of the CDBG program.
Tinklenberg stated that there seemed to be three alternatives available
for retaining the instrument in Iowa City and continuing the heat loss
scanning:
1. Use Small Cities program money to purchase the instrument and use
it only within the Small Cities area.
2. Obtain DOE money to purchase the instrument and continue with a
city-wide scanning project.
3. The City could purchase the instrument with General Fund money
and continue with a city-wide scanning project.

of FY 80, the emphasis now should be to scan as many homes as possible
during this and next winters.
National Energy Act and Explainatory Flier
The Commissioners felt that this item should be looked at on November 28,
1978, so that work can start during the beginning of December, with a
target publication date of February 1, 1979.
FY80 General Fund Budget
The FY80 budget was reviewed and Tinklenberg informed the Commissioners
that the budget breakdown for FY80 is very similar to the FY79 breakdown.
Upon review, the budget was judged to be good.
i
Pilot Solar Cemonstration Project i
Tinklenherg reported that he could not interview applicants and help
them prepare applications prior to this RCC meeting because of the FY80
budget process deadlines. Since the application reviews had to be
postponed until the November 14, meeting, the construction would not
be able to start until in December. Therefore, he recommended that
the project implementation be delayed until next spring or summer.
The Commissioners agreed with this recommendation.
.i
Other Business
Tinklenberg reviewed the FY80 Energy Conservation Program General Fund
goals and objectives with the Commission. {
Tinklenberg reported that DOE has a cost sharing program for state and
local governments to purchase and operate electric and hybrid vehicles.
Unfortunatly, DOE requires each participant to purchase at least 15
vehicles, which makes participation unpractical for the City.
Tinklenberg also reported that EPA is granting financial assistance
to local governments and agencies for resource recovery or source separation
inning. The Commissioners expressed interest
project development and pl
and decided to review the project proposal at the next meeting.
Tinklenberg reported that the Iowa Energy Policy Council is planning
"The Great Iowa Cleanup" for May 5, 1979, and asked if the RCC wanted
to coordinate the Iowa City spring cleanup with the state-wide cleanup.
After an exchange of snide remarks concerning the great Iowa cleanup
of public offices to occure on November 7, the Commissioners agreed that
it would be good to coordinate the Iowa City effort with the State effort.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:00 P.M.
Respectfully submitted, Roger Tinklenberg.
John Houck, Secretary.

Dennis Hedges, Karen Sint, Ilanne llierholzer, Mary
Larew, Al Horowitz, Jeff Schabilion
Ml,!0M ABSENT: Selma Connors, John Jenks
The meeting began at 5:25. Al Bohanan explained that this special
meeting was called to clarify the direction of U.A.Y., to facilitate
better board meetings by "clearing Lite air", and to give Al Horowitz
a chance to express his feelings since he is leaving town November 15,
An incomplete statisitical report from Jim Swaim was read by Mary listing
a breakdown of .stuff hours and activities. That the report took an
alleged 11 hours of Lite staff time caused a mixed reaction with some
members feeling the staff was reacting with an antagonistic attitude.
This was followed by a general discussion of UAY's purpose and a more
specific discussion of the duties of UAY board members. Mary read
a list of suggested duties as written by Mayor Yevera in a letter
written to Mike hone 9/13/78: "As a member of the UAY Board your
duties, as outlined by Resolution No. 76-229 and the UAY Ily-Laws,
will be to plan and conduct an Outreach Program to locate youth who
are alienated from the traditional approaches to youth services and
help them identify their individual needs and facilitate meeting the
same in the best interest of the individual and the community."
A general feeling of a lack of visibility to youth was discussed with
Tom suggesting an objective study of how well UAY is known. Other
suggestions wore more public relations and a fourth outreach aide.
The issue of signing checks was brought up. The amount of expenditures
needing board approval needs clarifying. Also, the staff's failure
to notify the board about crucial issues was criticized (i.e. running
out of money in the account). Other topics discussed were: the problem
of crucial information not being available until the board meeting,
the lack of staff evaluations, and possible anxieties on behalf of the
people in charge of Center Nast.
In summary, it was felt that while the staff is doing a good job, the
board lacks involvement whether due to staff reluctance to supply infor-
mation or due to the board's lack of initiative. Three main issues were
wished to be discussed with the staff: 1) clarifying duties of board
members, 2) increasing outreach visibility, and 3) obtaining information
on issues to be discussed before board meetings (specifically it was
suggested that board agendas be prepared a week agead of time).
