EQUIPMENT REPAIR
The proposed budget for FY80 provides for the funding of levels one,
two and three. There are program changes in this function for FY80.
As indicated in level one, a Maintenance Worker I has been
transferred in FY79 from Transit to handle daily bus maintenance.
-- Also, a Mechanic I will be added to assume responsibility for
maintenance of parks and cemetery equipment which previously was
maintained by the individual divisions.
Level three provides for the equipment replacement fund. The Council
previously received detailed information concerning the desirability
of an equipment replacement. fund. The decision package for the
equipment replacement fund details the advantages of this program.
Attached as part of level three is a detailed listing of the
equipment which will be replaced.
WORD PROCESSING
The proposed budget for FY80 provides for the funding of level:
2. Level 3 is not recommended because there does not appear
any major advantage in purchasing the equipment outright. Th
of interest being paid is relatively low.
In FY80, Word Processing is being financed as a chargeback
individual departments. Funding is included in the depart
budgets. This service has allowed the expanding workload of th
to be efficiently handled without delay, has reduced the turn
time for major projects, and also the need for additional cl
personnel.

DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS
LEVEL 3 OF 3
UNIT: EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND
UNIT DESCRIPTION:
This level consists of the equipment replacement fund which was
provisionally set into existence at the beginning of FY79. This fund is
built and replenished through a monthly "rental charge" for each type of
equipment. This charge was fixed so as to accumulate sufficient funds to
be able to replace the unit at the end of its estimated economic life.
Replacement decisions would be recommended by the Equipment Superintendent
based on economic analysis rather than fund availability.
ADVANTAGES/BENEFITS:
In the past economic life of equipment has been assumed to be in the 4-5
year range. This theory has been based on studies and decisions formulas
which do not take into consideration the effects of inflation on the cost
of replacement equipment. In order for this City to replace its equipment
every five years would require capital outlay of $386,500.00 per year.
Replace at seven years would require $276,000 per year. In order for this
system to work, however, requires certainty that the funding will be
available at the end of this extended replacement point, and consequences
of not replacing at that point could cause the entire concept to fail.
These decisions cannot be made exclusively at budget time since it is
difficult to predict equipment condition 1 to 1h years down the road.
Additional advantages are:
1. Less chance of having "new" equipment in independently funded
departments and "junk" equipment in departments which must
compete for resources.
2. Stabilizes capital outlay costs to a fixed amount per year.
OPTIONS:
- Revert to old system wherein the division head budgets for and makes
replacement decisions.
CONSEQUENCES:
- "Five year plan" thinking in that the division head budgets for
replacement regardless of equipment condition.
- Consistently poor condition of equipment in marginally funded
divisions.
- Lack of economic consideration of replacement decision by the
equipment division.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
FUND: GENERAL DEPARTMENT: FINANCE
PROGRAM: ADMINISTRATION UNIT: WORD PROCESSING
UNIT DESCRIPTION:
The function of the Word Processing Center is to provide centralized typing
and dictation services to City departments.
UNIT GOAL:
To complete typing for City departments in an efficient, accurate and
timely manner in conjunction with the central dictation system.
UNIT OBJECTIVES:
I. To have no more than 4% of total lines produced returned to Center for
correction of operators' typographical errors. July, 1979 and
ongoing.
2. Maintain an average monthly turnaround for centrally dictated work of
4 hours. July, 1979 and ongoing.
3. Achieve a 5% increase in total FY80 production of typed lines over
FY79. June, 1980.
4. Continue staff training on use of dictation system. Ongoing
UNIT MEASUREMENT:
1. Lines rerun for typos/total lines produced.
2. Calculated from check-in time to first copy check-out. Averaged
monthly.
3. Total lines produced FY80/total lines produced FY79.
4. # new employees trained on equipment.
UNIT ANALYSIS:
All of the above objectives assume the existing level of staff .and
equipment. If workload exceeds present capacity, Objectives -.Ml and M2 may
have to be compromised. Advance planning and scheduling of large projects
will aid in maintaining timely workflow in the Word Processing Center. The
Word Processing Center has taken workload off the secretarial staff so that
they are now able to provide more- administrative support in their
departments. Several recent large projects (i.e., Comprehensive Plan,
Cable T.V. Ordinance) demonstrated how the Center has the capability. to
handle large typing assignments efficiently and timely while at the same
time reducing the additional workload crunch on departments.

DECISION PACKAGE
DEPARTMENT: FINANCE LEVEL 1 OF 3
UNIT: WORD PROCESSING
DESCRIPTION:
- Provides for typing services to various City departments.
- Provides for 3 full-time mag card operators to relieve departmental
secretaries of typing overload.
- Provides for continued lease of high speed mag card typewriter.
ADVANTAGES/BENEFITS:
- Departments need not hire additional temporary or full time clerical
staff to help provide typing assistance.
- Centralized dictation equipment eliminates the need for purchase or
to replace individual dictation equipment.
- Mag card typewriters, through their memory capability, eliminate the
need for time consuming retyping of entire documents.
OPTIONS:
- Return all typing to individual departments.
- All departments have their own dictation equipment.
CONSEQUENCES:
Without funding at this level, the City would revert to having all typing
done at the department level. Without the use of mag card typewriters,
much duplication of work would result due to retyping entire documents.
Secretaries would spend a large percentage of time providing typing service
to departments, thereby redu:i:.., or eliminating any time available to
provide administrative services.

DESCRIPTION:
- Provides for installment purchase of high speed independent printer
- Provides for WP Supervisor
ADVANTAGES/BENEFITS:
- Final playout of documents done by printer. More productive time for
operators, increasing the capacity of the Center.
- Scheduling and controlling workflow by supervisor.
- More detailed records kept for production data and chargeback
purposes.
- One fourth of supervisor's time spent in typing - adds to production
capacity.
- Work scanned for correctness before leaving Center.
OPTIONS:
- The Center could revert to having work both recorded and played out at
the typewriters.
- Another division head could have responsibility for Word Processing
Center.
CONSEQUENCES:
There would be a decrease in control over workflow and recordkeeping with
absence of full time supervisor. Elimination of high speed printer would
increase the time spent on each project, having a negative effect on
turnaround: Each operator would be solely responsible for own proofing of
work, cutting down on their productive time. Would be a net reduction'ih
typing staff as supervisor spends approximately 25% of time typing.

has increased to 70%. The remainder of each position is funded by C.D.B.G. In addition, a full-time sidewalk
a inspector was added in FYBO.

ferred to the Equipment Maintenance Division.

(14) Five additional employees will be needed to staff the parking ramp.
(15) A clerk -typist position has been added.
(16) In FY79,50 percent of the Superintendent's salary was charged here while in FY80 only 25 percent will be. A
Senior Maintenance Worker position has been changed to Assistant Superintendent with 50 percent charged to Land-

I will mention the moa :event observation since it is fresh in my mind. On
Tuesday, December 19th. at 10 A.M. the snowplows were oprrating on the street in front
of my house and the storm that dropped the ton of white stuff that wa,a being pushed
I
elf the street occurred the weekend of Deeemior 2nd and 3rd — and there hadntt been
measurcable amounts since than.
As I began composing this in installments (at 9:30 P.M. Monday January lst) the
rumble of snow moving equipment alerted at least our household that the quote benefits
j
unquote were happening. Itr son who lives here got plowed in an the ODD side - he was
I
parked so he could sleep in and not have to move before 8 Q4. in the warning. A son
visiting __ who had cleared the area around his car after he arrived to spend New Year's
I
Day here -- had a mound hem him in on the EVEN side. This is a holiday and I suppose
the employees operating the equipment (two were giving us the business) are drawing
double time for working. I vigorously object to the wanton excessive expenditure of
the tax dollars in this manner. I would like to see a realistic approach to this. Is
it the residentslin this exclusive area fault that the city crews are sent out to do their
thing at a time when parking is allowed on both sides - thus necessitating repeating
i instead of THEM observing the times themselves?
I have been vocal about this in the past and I will continue to be until I see
some fruits from my efforts.
- 8
There a.re answers Ild like to have. The argument in favor of the CALENDAR PA.RKIM
} system is the streets are too narrow for parking both sides and two way vohicular movement
in the center. I don't buy that line of reasoning because I can't see that the north/south
street thot runs *long the west side of my property is any narrower at this end than it is
$ 4.2 to 6 blocks ueuth wheys parking is permitted on both sides of the street — but of eourso
s
that block and a half area accommodates meters — so. you tell me, isn't snow removal
t necessary there? Isn't ease of vehicular traffic movement necessary there?
I Mr. Douglass Lce who suprrviscd the Earth Side Neighborhood Historic Prosorvaticn
j Study under a grant in cooperation with the city Also did a Parking Study in conjunction
with it. He had tole me in a telephone contact that unless I had a solution to offer as
an alternative I was, in effect, stuck with the status quo. I Am enclosing a copy of the

I wanted to get this to you before the City Council resumes their meetings after
a Holiday vacation £rem them, sa that you could mull it ever. I raelize I am not an

F�nl,theirown persoidlpreforeneas irrespective of the effect on the budget) and I concede
i
that I should not expect my personal opinions to be totally accepted by the entire community
but I just hope that our financial condition never reaches the state of that of Cleveland,
and Detroit and that we go the route of a Proposition 13 like California did,
I am not against SNGWI I am not against SNOW REN.OVALI I just think therefs a
better way of accomplishing the end result than what I see from my vantage point.
On tho other han444_
As long as I am writing I would like to engage your attention to another subject that
the Council seems teti.cent to get involved with,/whichthere was apparently enough interest
generated by some members or group in the community that, as I understand, an informal
G session was devoted to it last spring when a reprosent:tive of the solid waste disposal
I facility at Ames was here to explain the operation of it. As I continue to write this
I Just say on the Channel 9 news that Blackhawk County was beginning a study. Now this
is something that goes on 92 weeks in the year and if given a chance I think could work.
I don't knew what happened to a letter I mailed. to Curtis Parington, chairman of Committee
fd on Community Needs in October, in lieu of appearing at the public hearing.Argy member
of the Council ever see it?/1 (Am enclosing a copy of it just in case no one did,)
The pity is that I was sent a letter one time inviting me to seek a position on the CCN.
Glad I wasn't too egotisticalto fall for the implies flattery of worthinA.ss of consideration.
Please give some thought to reconsidering and implementing this tjpe of program. I recall
i
ff! that the University of Iowa was raked over the coals recently for purchasing cart of their
coal supply from out of state and I repeat _ with them using coal what is so preposterous
in expecting that they could grind and mix combustibles with the coal they burn.
I would gladly appear in person if I Imm•7 when either of those projects were coming
up for discussion so I could input my "cussing" part.

Mrs. .Irene E. Murphy

Dear Mrs. Murphy:
As per your request, I am enclosing a copy of the Muscatine Municipal Code,
entitled, Snow Emergency Regulations. This is the chapter of the code which
establishes the snow emergency signs which you saw on the City streets.
Overall, the response is not what the City would like to have to that ordin-
ance, but better than not having any snow emergency routes at all:
We utilize the news media, radio and newspaper to declare snow emergencies
and it seems to help in getting traffic off of the streets so that we can
clean them. No plan is perfect, however, since many people do not read the I
newspapers or listen to the radio. All in all, I would feel that the situa-
tion is helped by the snow emergency regulations.
I am enclosing your check since the cost of xeroxing the chapter trete not
expensive. We appreciate your interest in these types of matters.
Sincerely,
Karl Nollenberger
City Administrator

Les Angeles Planning Commission, concluded his excal-
I lent article by pointing out that for mass transit plan-
ning the lesson: are equally clear, clthougls they may
i i be read less often. They challenge the orthodoxy Her
streorrrlined high-capacity high-speed transit systems,
using all the latest technoiogy, are uni.er:ally either
more desirable ar more desired than smallm-scale, more
down-to-conhrp-op=k like better Lusts or smaller cols.
And they prove that the issue with mass transit planning,
as with most other public questions, is still: "Who bene-
fits end who pays?" A mess transit system can 6e immedi-
ate bread-and-butter transportation for the mosses, or it
con be luxury transit far the few, paid for by the many.
The latter is the way Los Angeles voters saw, the prcpo;id
system there tvrice within the post few. years.
In short, just because it's beautiful on paper, and .
sounds like n good idea, end represents Buck Rogers rype
technological cdvarcas, it isn't neeesseri ly a good ;door
Fixed systems ore by their nature, inflexible, and if
there's anything the future demands of us .. . it's flex-
ibility. ilia Los Angeles voters were correct, it seems to
me, to .-jest tho r=c sal. It wouldn't have made all
i that much difference, and it would have cost ... what
were those figures again. . . between eight and len
billion dollars I' Think what that would have been by
the time the project was finishedl
i
a a
jCenslructirg a mos: -transit system for the greater Los
- Angeles area would, as a project, ha,,e dwarfed the
I building or the pyramids. Compared to it, the building
j of the Suez and Panama Cartels would have seemed like .
child's play and lise;r.combined cost wouldn't have
bought 16 -necessary real estate.

Cars, cars and more cars!
f Where can we park the cars?
That's a lament often sung by Iowa
City officials.
Now the City Council Is toying with

"One of these days we're going to
suffer when a fire truck can't get
through," Nevera warned.
But others complain that calendar

that Its effect is to merely force the long
lines of cars away into otherneiEly
bbrhoods.
The problems, city officials say, are
particularly severe on the near north
side, which regularly fills up with cars

calendar parking might cost the city an

And Plaslino estimated that citywide
calendar parking might require about
5,000 more parking signs costing about
$75,000, and that Installing the signs
might consume the cifo•ts of the city's
sign crew "for about two years."

A.' The city crews salt all major
mterlai streets and bus routes first.
Thcy then go out Into tine residential
sl.rect areas and salt streets with bad

Q. Do I really need to get allow tires

A. The city cannot promise clean
and bare streets all of file time and
snow tires are extremely useful 'in
getting from your residential street
out to a major arterial. Since we
always do the major streets first, '
there may be a period of several
hours when your residential street Is
heavily blocked with snow and Ice.<'
Q. Does the city clean sidewalks?
A. No.. All properly owners are
responsible for keeping their
sidewalk shoveled.
Q. Does it help the city street crews'

A. No. Whenever there is any
threat at Ice or snow, the city has

will convert it to energy? Will the price
Ibe affordable?
Proven technology already exists for
a number of conversion methods. The
hest known is the anaerobic digestion
process. Adding certain strains of bac-
teria to sewage, animal manure or other
organic mailer—the scientific term is
"biomass"—will produce methane, a
flammable gas useful as fuel.
In 1973, an English inventor, Harold
Date, cuoverted pig manure to methane
to run his car. In China and India, peo-
ple use small, inexpensive converters to
generale methane as a cooking fuel.
Collection a problem
Collecting the manure to bp con-
verted p!esents a problem, however. .A
central collection point is necessary.
But methanes a volatile gas; to use a
• barn or other enclosure would. risk ex-
plosion.-Andcollecting manure outdoors
could prove prohibitively expensive.
Roscoe S. Ward, who works on sante
Energy Department biomass programs,
madis the point with humor: "You can't
put a bag under evey cow's tail—and
if you did, who'd change the bags?'
To see if large-scale collection can be
made .economical, the department is
providing funds to several projects
around the country. The largest1%, a
feedlot in Darlow, Fla., which has 10,000
head of cattle. The _methane produced _
there is expected to supply most of the
energy needed for the meat -packing
plant nearby. .
Most cities simplycollect garbage
and haul it to dumps or landfills. In the
future, however, cities might send their
garbage to processing'plants that sepa-
ratc'organic substances wood, -paper,
rubber, most plaslics—from. inorganic
materialssoch as metal, sand and glass.
Mashes} to pieces
'free flunks and engine blocks, along
with normal garbage, would go through
a shredder in which huge hammers
mash everydung into pieces no larger
than a few square inches. Metals would
be sold to recycling plants. .
Such a plant is now working in Amec,
Iowa. According to Arnold Chandand,

from the surmundiog county's 65,009
residents is taken to this plant• which

landfill," said Chantland. But he added:
"This is not discouraging to pus. Our
volumes have increased; fuel and land-
fill costs are rising."
Yet another method of turning or -
J
ganic matter to energy is pyrolysis. The
malerial is heated in a kiln withoutpxy- J,
gen and converted info energy -rich,
fuels such as synthetic oil, gas or'char
(similar to charcoal).
Turning garbage into energy is still
relatively expensive. A processor capa-
ble of handling 1000 tons a day would
cost abIv

Waiter. "Where there's good cheap
landfill," he said, "it does not look eco- Ci

There are also environmental consid-

into some of these plants, you'll smell' -
solid waste. But outside, at a reason=
able distance; you shouldn't smell. it."
But garbage does not necessarily have
to he ground, mashed and burned to'
create fuel. Nature produces methane .
in landfills, and wells can be drilled to
lap the gas. This is now being done at .
the Palos Verdes landfill near Los Ange-

Dear Mrs. Murphy:
At its regular meeting of January 16, 1979, the City Council received
and placed on file your letter concerning various subjects, including
snow removal and calendar parking. For your information, I am enclos-
ing a copy of the snow emergency ordinance recently adopted by the
City Council. This may not be an answer to all of your problems, but
it expected that the plan will facilitate the snow removal efforts
of the City crews.
In order to keep you informed of subjects to be discussed at the City
Council meetings, I would be hoppy to add your name to the mailing list
for agenda material., Please let me know if you would like to receive
this weekly mailing.
Sincerely yours,

January 10, 1979
TO: Mayor Robert Vevera and Council Members.
FROM: The Board of Directors and the Housing Committee of the
Johnson County Chapter of American Association of Retired
Persons.
The Housing Committee and the Board of A.A.R.P., strongly urge
that the city council reconsider the chore project which was
submitted to the Community Needs Committee..We understand that
committee did not consider the Chore service a priority.
The project was designed to fill a gap in the services to the
elderly who are trying to maintain themselves in their own
homes. The: existing service lacks the qualified supervision
needed for many of the young persons who lack the experience
and skills to work independently in performing some of the jobs.
The Council On Aging has found that they must furnish proper
tools and equipment (Lawn mowers, shovels, ladders, tools,etc.)
in order to be able to do the work necessary. The low-income
elderly are especially dependant on this kind of service.
We must assure for the elderly, safe, secure and comfortable
living if they are to maintain health and an independent meaning-
ful life. The alternative is an early admission to a nursing
home which, in the end, is more costly to the public.

Re: Stop Sign at Morningside and College
As directed by Section 23-16 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City this is
to advise you of the following action:
ACTION:
Pursuant to Section 23-160 the City Traffic Engineer will direct that
the stop signs presently installed on Morningside Drive at its inter-
section with College Street be removed. Further the City Traffic
Engineer will direct that a stop sign be installed on College Street at
its intersection with Morningside Drive. This action will be taken on
or shortly after January 26, 1979.
COMMENT:
College Street "tee's" into Morningside Drive. At the present time
through traffic on Morningside Drive is being stopped and right-of-way
for College Street is being protected. The changes as proposed above
will protect the right-of-way of Morningside Drive allowing continuity
and through movement and will require the turning movements from College
Street to stop prior to entering the Morningside Drive facility.

MEMORANDUM
Date: January 12, 1979
To: City Manager and City Council
From: Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works
Re: Snow Removal Program
As directed by the City Council, the Public Works Department has prepared
a program to implement certain parking prohibitions. The purpose of
these prohibitions will be to aid in the removal of snow accumulations,
street debris and garbage. Attached to this memo are two memorandums
from the Traffic Engineer. The first would implement calendar parking
in an area bounded Kimball Avenue on the north, the Iowa River on the
west, Highway 6 on the south and Seventh Avenue on the east. Additionally,
certain streets outside of this area have been included on the list.
Also attached is a second memo which would implement a parking prohibition
between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The calendar parking memo would permit parking to be alternated between
the side of the street with even addresses on even calendar days and on
the odd addressed side on odd calendar days. The prohibition that would
be in effect would be from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. seven days a week.
Public Works held extensive discussions about a 23 or 24 hour calendar
parking system, but the language and logic process to implement calendar
parking past midnight are absolutely impossible to comprehend. We
believe that by taking calendar parking to 11:00 p.m, the number of cars
parked on both sides of the street in that time period from 11:00 p.m.
to 8:00 a.m. the next morning will be minimized.
The second memorandum would implement an 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday
through Friday parking prohibition. This is being done to improve snow
removal and street cleaning along certain collector streets which also
have bus routes on them. It is believed that this prohibition will
cause a minimum amount of inconvenience for abutting property owners and
still permit efficient Public Works operations.
The estimated costs of these two signage efforts will be $33,000. No
money has been budgeted for this project in the FY79 and FY80 budget.
The Council will have to pass a budget amendment for the FY79 budget to
provide for the sign materials. The road use tax fund is extremely
strapped and it should be realized that all expenditures out of the road
use tax fund will likely result in increased bonding in the future, for
such programs as asphalt overlay.
If Council decides to pursue the program as outlined above it is requested
that Council express this by passing a motion at the January 23 or
January 30 Council meeting, supporting the two memos from the Traffic
Engineer.

Re: Appreciation
At the regular Council meeting last week, the City Council passed a
resolution of appreciation for the tremendous efforts which City em-
ployees in various Departments extended during the recent snow emerg-
encies. The City Council, and I know the citizens of Iowa City, greatly
appreciate the very long hours worked by many employees and the great
effort that you put forth to dig Iowa City out of the snow drifts.
Again, your assistance is greatly appreciated.
