Re: Meeting with DNR Officials
On Thursday, January 28, Terry Timmins, Dale Hel ling, Chuck Schmadeke, and I
met with representatives of the DNR concerning the recent violation notice.
State Representative Mary Neuhauser was also present. All in all, the meet-
ing was productive and we were treated with courtesy by the DNR officials;
however, it was clear from the outset that the DNR wishes to see the City
undertake a far more aggressive posture with respect to the timing and con-
struction of the new sewer plant and related facilities. The attorney repre-
senting the DNR indicated from the early part of the meeting that DNR would
be initiating a court consent decree with applicable fines for further non-
compliance. The City prepared an extensive position paper which identified
our concerns and the stumbling blocks that we felt were causing the project
delay. The DNR staff was sympathetic; however, they are receiving pressures
from the Federal Government to assure compliance. It is likely we will
receive a draft consent decree within the next few days and the decree will
provide for fines for further noncompliance.
We raised the issues of the University's litigation concerning sewer rates as
well as the possibility of the University constructing their own sewer treat-
ment facilities. These matters were met with concern and I believe conster-
nation on the part of the DNR, basically due to the fact they were not sure
how to deal with these issues. Hopefully the draft consent decree will be
somewhat sympathetic to these problems, and we have indicated to the DNR
staff that we will raise these issues with the Environmental Protection
Commission in mid-February.
As we expected, the issue of County zoning was met with some sympathy but the
DNR staff stated that there were numerous ways to resolve those matters,
specifically litigation. We advised that we were considering litigation but
the concern was that this may take some time to resolve and affects our
overall project plan. We advised we had attempted to satisfy the zoning
question by way of negotiations and had not been successful, and thereby
approximately eight months of project planning time had been lost.
We further explained the dissatisfaction with Metcalf & Eddy's performance
and indicated that delays were directly attributable to their unsatisfactory
performance; however, we recognized this was an internal problem and would be
corrected by City action.
It does appear there is a strong likelihood that a building moratorium may be
forthcoming. The question was raised as to whether the building/development
moratorium would affect all projects occurring within the City and we were
advised that they would apply the moratorium uniformly. This could mean that
dRo? 54

major University projects such as the laser center and the psychiatric hospi-
tal would also be placed on hold due to the inability of the City to proceed
with the project. A note of irony - the University was a key contributor to
the delays and may end up being the recipient of some of the problems they
themselves have created.
This memorandum attempts to be simply a summary and we will have far more
information and/or a better feeling of the DNR's intent when we receive the
draft consent decree. This document may also influence the presentation that
will be made at the DNR in February.
We will keep you advised.

From: City Manager
Re: Transit
As you requested, the Transit Manager researched the matter of the use of
a smaller bus in lieu of the full-size coach. He is of the opinion that
such a proposal would not be cost effective. As he explained to me, the
most significant operating cost for the Transit System is the driver's
wage and benefits, which would not change with respect to a smaller vehi-
cle. The cost of a heavy-duty small bus is approximately $100,000, while
a full-size coach is approximately $150,000. As you are aware, the City
pays 20 percent of the cost of the new buses, based upon the Federal
capital assistance programs.
John explained further that he is attempting to wherever practical
standardize our fleet in order to minimize the parts inventories as well
as utilize the mechanic training programs to date. He believes the
smaller buses would not only require additional inventory, but additional
training for our employees.
He has further advised that the large bus can be utilized all day long on
all routes while a smaller bus would need to be taken off the streets
during rush hour.
Last week he spoke with the operations manager of the Des Moines Metro
System which purchased smaller buses approximately three years ago. This
gentleman was of the opinion that it was a mistake in that they attempted
o put small buses on the streets during midday and evenings. Their
records indicate that there were a number of operational problems as a
well as increased expenses.
The Transit System utilizes a "route pair" system and oftentimes low
ridership routes are paired with a heavier route. This arrangement allows
for better scheduling and if a driver does need to make up time, it is
easier to do so with the route pair system.
It is John's opinion that it would be a financial mistake to pursue the
purchase of the smaller coaches.

RE: Council Concerns from
Yewell Street Chin Seal
DATE: January 29, 1988
1/25/88 Budget Work Session
Liquid asphalt and granite chips were applied to the Yewell
Street asphalt surface between Ginter Avenue
Avenue. Liquid asphalt and Cottonwood
is applied to seal the roadway surface
and serve as a bonding agent for the granite chips. Granite
chips are applied to provide a dust -free, skid-resistant,low-cost
wearing surface. The granite chips are 1/2 inch in size and have
sharp edges as a result of the crushing process. Round pea
gravel has been used in the past but was found to be unacceptable
because the pea gravel would not bond to the liquid asphalt.
Brick Pavers
The City has several thousand brick pavers stored at the
landfill for reuse by the city and utility companies when
patching pavement cuts on brick streets. Also, the City uses the
bricks for street repairs to existing brick streets. The only
time contractors keep the brick pavers is when federal money is
used to finance a street reconstruction project. On federally
financed projects the value of any materials salvaged by the City
is deducted from available federal funds.
Stone Curb
There are some areas in Iowa City where stone curb was
installed along with the brick pavers. When replacing the stone
curbs on brick streets with concrete curbCity work crews
endeavor to copy the form and shape of the original stone curbs.
The original stone curb is usually not suitable for reuse and
installing new stone curb would be very expensive and labor
intensive.
Keokuk & Plum Street
The City Traffic Engineering Division has not received a
request from the school district for a crossing guard at the
intersection of Keokuk Street and Plum Street.

RE: False Alarms
This memo is in response to your request for information concerning false
alarms.
BACKGROUND
The City of Iowa City has a false alarm problem. False alarms accounted
for over 40 percent of Fire Department responses in 1987. ifalicious fire
activaalarxstions area recbomb ord system malfunctions.
alls and unintenDe tional
lalarmincident
reports. Last year, we responded to 865 such false calls.
The false call problem can really be divided into two parts. The first
part is malicious reporting of nonexistent emergencies. The other part of
the problem is the nuisance activation of an automatic fire detection
system calling the fire department for a nonexistent fire. Automatic fire
alarm systems are susceptible to error and abuse. Field studies on the
national level find that nuisance activations outnumber real -fire alarms
by margins of 17 -to -1 to 27 -to -1.
False alarms from the University accounted for 73 percent of false calls
in 1987. The number of false calls to University -owned buildings out
numbered real fires 20 -to -1. Our local experience mirrors the national
trend outlined above. While the value of alarm systems has been proven,
the University experiences a large number of false alarms because of the
high percentage of its buildings with alarm systems. Increased use of
fire alarm systems tends to lead to increased false calls.
AUTO11ATIC FIRE ALARN SYMS
To understand the problem, it is helpful to understand how an automatic
fire alarm system works. Fire alarms systems are designed to give an
early notification in the event of a fire. There are many types of
devices that can be wired into a system to sense or discover a potential
fire. Smoke detectors and heat detectors are two of the most common
automatic devices used for this purpose. tfanually activated pull stations
are also used to activate alarm systems in the event building occupants
discover a fire before it is detected by automatic devices. Any device
connected to the alarm system can activate an alarm. Because each device
can send an alarm, the system is only as reliable as its weakest alarm
device. The larger the number of detection devices connected to a system,
the greater the probability of false alarm caused by the failure of
device. In addition, the accessibility of pull stations a
asks thea neasy
target for vandals to abuse.
A6450
False Alarms
page 2
Hany fire alarm systems are designed to transmit an alarm directly to the
fire department or a private alarm company anytime the alarm is activated.
This minimizes the time between the discovery of a fire and the
notification of the fire department. This adds still more potential for
false alarms because long stretches of viring and remote equipment are now
added to the list of devices vith the potential to fail. A false alarm
signal to an alarm receiving station can result from vandals at a pull
station, the failure of any detection device vired into the system, a
break in the phone line connecting the system to the receiving station, or
a breakdown in the notification panels at the receiving station.
F.RISTM STSTO
Iova City has a number of fire alarms aired into notification panels
located in the Fire Department. The age and condition of these panels
varies. We do not charge for monitoring these panels or responding to
alarms transmitted by them. The majority of Iowa City's false calls
result from alarm systems vired into the Fire Department. dfost of our
false calls come from University residence balls. May result from a
combination of pull station activations and system failures. The system
failures have resulted from various things including aging equipment,
dirty smoke detectors, vandalism, and insect damage.
University of Iowa Residence Ball Officials have been working with us to
reduce the number of false alarms. Despite the high number of false
alarms in 1987, ve experienced a 5 percent reduction in the number of
false calls logged for 1986. We find this encouraging because it shows
promise of reversing an upward trend that had developed in recent years.
In addition to starting an educational program this fall, Residence Bell
Officials, Campus Security, and Court Magistrates have vorked with the
Fire Department in an effort to discourage malicious false alarms by
prosecuting individuals who are caught sending false alarms.
OBSERVATIONS
In order to reduce false alarms, some fire departments impose fines,
require special training for installers, or impose stringent maintenance
standards on alarm system owners. While these types of strategies are
viable, they tend to reduce the incentive to install alarm systems and
require additional fire personnel to deal vith the associated workload.
While the false alarm problem is complex, ve are beginning to show some
progress in lowering the number of false alarms received. Fire alarm
systems are designed to warn occupants and give firefighters the
opportunity to extinguish a fire before it grows beyond their control. We
believe continued cooperation vith the University holds the key to solving
this problem effectively.

RE: Projected Deficit
Background
Last spring, financial projections provided the Citizen's Committee
on City Revenue showed an estimated deficit/revenue shortfall of
5923,000 in FY89. The projections assumed that property taxes would
be held to a 6% increase and the level of services, as funded in the
FY88 Budget, would be maintained. To cover the deficit in full from
property taxes was projected to require an 11.7% increase in taxes.
What happened to the projected deficit?
Five major items included in the FY89 Budget
preparation of a balanced budget for the General Fund:
I. Proposed Personnel reductions
save
2. The new liability and property
insurance program saves
3. The street overlay program was
reduced $230,000. 50% of
the cost would have been funded
from the Road Use Tax Fund
with the remaining 50% from
property tax which saves
4. Property taxes on personal
property was eliminated in FY88.

Iowa City would receive $200,000

Dear Bob:
CITY
(319) 356-5CC0
I have received your letter of January 26, 1988, and I have reviewed the
accompanying draft of Addendum No. 2 to the agreement between the City of
Iowa City and Metcalf & Eddy, Inc. Your proposed addendum fails to take
into account several major elements which I addressed in my letter of
January 5, 1988, and which were discussed during your meeting with staff
on December 14, 1987. Among these are revised project schedules, inclu-
ding escrow accounts, for each element design, option by the City to
assume certain construction and project management responsibilities with
reduced fees to M&E, and submittal of design outline documents and
preliminary cost estimate for Element 5 prior to approval of final plans
and specifications and final cost estimates for Elements 2, 3, and 4 (and
Element 1 if not yet approved).
In short, the proposed addendum fails to provide appropriate conditions
and assurances which reflect a level of commitment on the part of M&E
necessary to restore the City's confidence in your firm to continue our
relationship as your client.
Enclosed please find a copy of a proposed addendum which I feel much more
closely reflects the terms and conditions stated in my letter of
January 5, 1988, and the issues discussed at the December 14, 1987,
meeting referenced above. Any agreement between the City and M&E to
continue our contract for services must incorporate these essential
elements. I request that you review the enclosed document and that
representatives from the City and your firm meet early in the week of
February 1, 1988, to further discuss these issues with a deadline of
Friday, February 5, 1988, for reaching final agreement. If such an
agreement cannot be reached, it is the City's intent to formally terminate
the contract for services with M&E and I will recommend that the City
Council take this action at its next regular meeting.
The City remains interested in resolving the existing problems with M&E,
if possible. However, any such resolution must be immediate. We are
threatened with accelerated enforcement action by the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources and the City must be prepared to move ahead with this
project.

On Wednesday, January 27, 1988, the following City and County representa-
tives met in an open meeting: Kate Dickson and Mayor John McDonald for
the Iowa City Council, and Betty Ockenfels and Dick Myers for the Board of
Supervisors. Jay Cayner, Allocations Chairperson for United Way, Carol
Thompson, Director of the Johnson County Department of Human Services, and

this committee for the City's funding of human service agencies in FY89
as well as highlights of the agencies' FY89 budgets and funding presenta-
tions. Also attached are charts of the history of Human Service Agency
funding for City, County, and United Way; Agency Directors' Salary Recom-

In making recommendations for Iowa City's FY89 human service agency
funding, the basic goal has been to provide agencies with the funds
necessary to maintain current programming levels. Two of the proposed
funding figures provide for some increase in services by existing
agencies: an increase of $6,800 for the Domestic Violence Project, and an
increase of $3,750 for Willow Creek Neighborhood Center. The additional
funding for the Domestic Violence Project would permit that agency to
employ a full-time Children's Coordinator. The additional funding for
Willow Creek would enable that agency to do outreach work to a troubled
area in our community; it would provide a new service without creating a
new agency. Please see additional discussions of these recommendations in
the attached report: the Domestic Violence Project request is detailed on
page 2; the Willow Creek Neighborhood Center request is detailed on page
9.
The remainder of Council's decision process for human service agency
funding includes:
The City Council's Informal Discussion of committee recommendations will
occur on February 2, 1988. The Board of Supervisors will have its
discussion on that same day.
If the City and County feel that no additional joint or individual
sessions are needed, funding figures determined at the February 2 meeting
will be utilized in the City's budget making process.
If you have any questions or desire additional material, please call me at

Desai tion of Program: The Crisis Center Intervention Program is a
sulci a prevention an crisis intervention service which is available
to anyone who calls or comes in. It provides short term counseling
as well as information and referral. It also provides a message
relay service for the deaf utilizing the TDO, Telecommunications
Device for the Deaf. The Crisis Center Food Bank gives individuals
(primarily permanent Johnson County residents) emergency and supple-
mental food. The Crisis Center Emergency Assistance Program helps
both local people and transients with emergency needs such as shel-
ter, clothing and transportation. Home energy assistance is also
provided through Project A.I.D.E.
Significant Changes Proposed:
1. Salary increases ranging from 1.6% to 11% for present, regular
staff combine with no expenditures for work study staff to result
in an increase of 2.67% in total salary expenditures.
2. The Crisis Center is now located in its own facility, purchased
with Iowa City CDBG funding. The agency is using the funds no
longer needed for rent to maintain its service level for an
increasing client load.
3. A 9% increase in expenditures for emergency shelter and utili-
ties.
Rationale for Recommendation: The Crisis Center has been able to
hold the line on expenses while meeting increased client demand. Its
24 hour telephone availability is very important. Funding at the
current level is proposed.
Director's Salary: Within suggested range.

batterers have been arrested under the new mandatory arrest law.
Significant Changes Proposed:
1. Salary increases range from 3,4 to 6%.
2. Increase the position of the Children's Coordinator from half-
time to full-time.
Rationale for Recommendation: The Domestic Violence Project has
consistently provided the community with high quality services at
very reasonable cost. This has been possible because of the commit-
ment of agency staff to work many more hours than they are paid for.
However, the number of children served at the shelter necessitates an
increase in paid hours for the Children's Coordinator. In FY87, 137
children were provided 4,037 days of shelter. On average, 11 chil-
dren were housed at the shelter each day. The Coordinator not only
works directly with these children, but is responsible for organizing
and overseeing the work of the Shelter's children's volunteers and
works with battered adults to improve their parenting skills. The
number and needs of these children require an increased level of
service. The budget submitted remains very conservative. While
funding at the requested level would be appropriate, fiscal con-
straints prevent that recommendation. Funding at the $20,000 level
is proposed.

Significant Changes Proposed:
1. Salary increases ranging from 3 to 6% yield a 5% increase in
total expenditures for salaries.
2. Continued reorganization of staff responsibilities to enable
existing staff to better serve the increasing client load.
Rationale for Recommendation: This agency provides excellent serv-
ices to—a large number of elderly people in our community to help
them remain in their homes as safely as possible for as long as
possible. A funding increase of $829 is recommended.

Description of Program: The Mayor's Youth Employment Program pro-
vides subsidized employment to disadvantaged youth in Johnson County
through three programs. The In -School Component offers work experi-
ence during the school year in the public and private sectors; it is
funded by both Johnson County and Iowa City. The Sumner Component
offers a work -earn -learn program in conservation; it is funded by
Iowa City. The Transition Program provides special help to recently
graduated youth with exceptional employment problems. It is funded
on a purchase of service basis. Mayor's Youth Employment also pro-
vides a Young Adult Sumner Program for those aged 19 to 24. It is
funded by the Iowa Department of Economic Development and the Univer-
sity of Iowa.
Significant Chanqes Proposed:
1. A salary increase of 4% for the Director.
2. Mayor's Youth Employment will no longer employ its own clerical
support staff but will purchase clerical support services from
United Action for Youth.
3. The agency is moving to the Joint Youth Services Facility.
Rationale for Recommendation: This agency places youth and young
a u s in Jos preparing em for the world of work and increasing
their family income. Local funding dollars contributed to Mayor's
Youth Employment Program leverage State Department of Economic Devel-
opment money: a good return for local funding. In order to maintain
the existing services, funding at the current level is proposed.

regimen which is less structured than residential services. Residen-
tial Treatment includes detoxification/crisis stabilization, residen-
tial services and half -way services. Prevention provides workshops,
presentations and in -services an substance abuse prevention. The
Employee Assistance Program provides contracted services to help
local employees deal with a wide variety of personal issues.
Significant Changes Proposed:
1. Salary rate increases vary from 4 to 40%. The total salary ex-
penditure increase of 27.9% includes increased staff hours, most
notably an increase from 20 to 32 hours per week for the Medical
Director. The change in salary per

Rationalefor Recommendation: MECCA is providing very high quality
su stance a use rea men and prevention services to a large number
of Johnson County residents, and this agency is to be commended for
its outstanding effort in collecting fees for its services from those
clients who have the resources to make payment. It is desirable that
the increased fees collected should be used to improve MECCA's salary
structure and enable the agency to improve staff retention. Funding

Descri tion of Pro ram: The Rape Victim Advocacy Program provides

victims of sexual abuse and their families. It also works toward the
prevention of sexual assault and harassment through public informa-
tion programs.
Significant Changes Proposed:
1. 4% salary increases for the Director and the Prevention/Education
Specialist.
2. Secretary increases from half-time to full-time with an hourly
rate increase of 13%.
3. Volunteer Coordinator increases from half-time to full-time with
an hourly rate increase of 2%.
Rationale for Recommendation: The community's need for the services
offered by the Rape Victim Advocacy Program requires some additional
staff time. However, fiscal constraints prevent a recommendation for
full funding of the agency's request. An increase of $650 is recom-
mended.

Significant Changes Proposed:
1. Salary increases of 6% for the Director and 13.6% for the Admin-
istrative Assistant yield an increase in salary expenditures of
8%.
2. A grant from the National Red Cross has ended.
Rationale for Recommendation: This agency is providing substantial
services to residents o o nson County, particularly in the area of
disaster relief. The need for increased funding results mainly from
the expiration of interim support which the local agency has been
receiving from National Red Cross. While the services provided by
this agency are valuable, fiscal concerns prevent a recommendation
for increased funding at this time. Continuation of the current
level of support is recommended.

seling, outreach and creative arts opportunities for youth in Johnson
County. Many of the youth served are alienated from more traditional
youth services, and UAY often intervenes with at -risk youth who might
otherwise become involved in juvenile delinquency.
Significant Changes Proposed:
1. Salary rate increases for continuing full-time staff range from 6
to 10%. However, due to significant changes in staffing patterns
throughout the agency, the change in salary per full-time equiva-
lent is only +1%.

Description of Program: The Emergency Housing Project provides
temporary housing and food to those in Johnson County who cannot
provide for themselves. Many of the individuals served are referred
by other local agencies. Clients are treated as guests.
Significant Changes Proposed:
1. During 1988 the Emergency Housing Shelter will receive $22,500
in Emergency Shelter Grants Program supplemental funding through
the City of Iowa City. This funding was secured after the
agency's 1988 budget was prepared and is not reflected in that
document.
Rationale for Recommendation: This is a valuable service which
treats its clients well and saves the resources of referring agen-
cies. Fiscal concerns prevent recommending funding at this time. It
is hoped that the churches will continue their support. Federal
funding for the support of this agency has been secured by the City
of Iowa City through the Emergency Shelter Grants Program.

**Director's points as reported by HACAP include 91 points for disability
leave because the Agency provides that coverage directly. In order to
make HACAP's points comparable to other agencies', those 91 points
should be replaced by 1 point (the point value of disability insurance).
Then the Director's points would be 64.8.

January 25, 1988
Mr. Donald Sehr, Chairman
Johnson County Board of Supervisors
P.O. Box 1350
Iowa City, Iowa 52244
Dear Don:
Attached is an outline summary of what I believe to be pertinent issues
addressing the need to have expeditious action by the County Board con-
cerning the zoning request Z-8708. While the outline is self-explanatory,
I do wish to point out that the City now finds itself in a position that
we must move with all due speed to secure the appropriate local, State and
Federal approvals and initiate the new construction and/or rehabilitation
as appropriate of City sanitary sewer treatment and collection facilities.
I am directing this correspondence to your attention at this time so that
You may review the information. I respectfully request that I be given

OUTLINE OF ISSUES
I.
Notice of Violation from DNR. Attached to this correspondence is a
the
letter indicating that the City is now in violation of wastewater
issued by the State Department of Natural Resources
administrative order
concerning our wastewater treatment program. Following conversations
us
with the DNR officials with respect to the notice, they have advised
in securing approvals
that they are concerned about the lack of progress
treatment plant as well as the work associ-
for construction of the new
ated with rehabilitation of the current treatment plant.
2.
Notice of Construction Permit Delays. Attached is a copy of a letter to
further development will be postponed
an area developer indicating that
to the inability of the City to provide wastewater treatment for the
due
proposed development. Further development delays within the City limits
are expected and, in fact, we are aware that DNR will be considering a
development moratorium on the City.
3.
Environmental Protection Commission Meeting. The notice of violation
requires the City to appear before the State Environmental Protection
in appropriate approvals for
Commission to explain the delays securing
the wastewater treatment projects. It is our intention to appear and
respond by advising them of the overall project planning difficulties
for plant construc-
associated with the inability to secure site rezoning
the recent actions by the University of Iowa and the affect on
tion,
overall project financing. We will attempt to seek relief from the
had secured an
violation order; however, due to the fact that we earlier
DNR administrative orders, we are concerned that
extension from previous
will experience considerable difficulty in gaining further
we
extensions.
4.
Scheduled Meeting with DNR Staff in late January. It is our intention,
prior to our appearance before the Environmental Protection Commission in
the DNR staff to discuss the

details of the violation notice, attempt to expedite development permit
delays, as well as determine what means, if any, the City has available

the City's firm commitment to an expedited schedule for

5.
Braverman Proposal. Upon review, it is the City's position that the
the best interest
proposal put forth by Mr. Braverman is not in overall
of the community and/or the project and would lead to extraordinary costs
with respect to additional land purchases and/or movement of the plant to
be
a less desirable site. Within the budget available, such costs cannot
require DNR approval
financed. Additionally, the change of location would
to the project plan. Given the violation notice
and a major amendment
for lack of progress, we believe further delays due to re-engineering
would be unacceptable.

Related Corres ondence. Extensive correspondence has been exchanged

It is all part of the record, and rather than reiterate this information,
it is our judgment that we have made every reasonable effort to secure
County Board approval for our zoning request. The past seven plus months
have lead to better information exchange and understanding from all
parties. Hopefully this itself is an accomplishment. However, the City
has now reached a point where we can no longer continue any protracted
discussions concerning this matter. The 54,000 residents of the City are
expecting a conclusion of this matter and we must meet our need to ful-
fill the state and federal regulations which are controlling over this
matter.

This is to acknowledge receipt of the construction permit appli-
cation for a sewer extension in the Dean Oakes Second Addition,
Iowa City.
However, because there is a concern of the ability of the Iowa
City treatment facility to properly treat the waste load it re-
ceives, we are in the process of reviewing the facility's daily
monitoring reports in order to make a thorough evaluation. Until
that evaluation is completed, action on your project will be de-
layed.
If there are any questions,

Dear Pat:
As the Cities of Iowa City and Coralville begin the project planning for
the new animal shelter, I want to take an opportunity to express my appre-
ciation for the Humane Society's interest in the project. As we
discussed, I believe there will be opportunities for the Society to par-
ticipate and hopefully appeal to a larger constituency as we begin the
development of the new shelter. Specifically, I can envision the follow-
ing as potential Humane Society projects.
1. It would appear as if we expand the program and encourage more respon-
sible pet ownership, our employees may have to be relieved of certain
day-to-day duties in managing the animal shelter, and thereby volun-
teer assistance would be appreciated. In addition, as the programs
take on hopefully new and expanding community interests, I suspect
volunteer help would also be necessary to meet public information and
other educational efforts.
2. The more involved the Humane Society would come, the already success-
ful outreach program could take on new meaning in that the public
could identify the Society with a newly constructed animal shelter and
the efforts of the local governments to provide for animal control as
well as encouraging responsible pet ownership.
3. Although I am not sure the exact name and/or function the Society may
choose to utilize in providing assistance to the animal shelter, we
may wish to consider some type of an auxiliary. I believe our Animal
Control Supervisor, who is knowledgeable in all areas of pet education
and animal control activities, would be a helpful resource in planning
the Society's involvement.
4. Finally, the Society is recognized as a group that encourages spaying
and neutering of animals, and such interest I believe fits well with
the City's concerns and policies in respect to animal control. It
would seem that the local government and Society could join hands and
create a very positive pet and animal control program in Iowa City and
Coralville.

These are just preliminary thoughts and I would be anxious to learn more
of the Society's interest. Please feel free at any time to contact Bev
Horton, our Animal Control Supervisor, or Chief Harvey Miller. Also, due
to the fact'that the City of Coralville will be an active partner in
project planning in the future management of the shelter, I suspect they,
too, would look with interest upon the Society's participation.
Thank you again for your interest.
Sincerely yours,
