On a motion by Mr. Mann, seconded by Mr. Roberts, th^
minutes of the last meeting were approved.
The first topic for this evening was grievances. 'Mr.
_ feddersen explained that -grievances would be heard first as a
convenience to the people who havegrievances so that they do
not have to sit through an entire meeting. The grievance heard
tonight was by Robert G. Leger. Mr. Feddcrsen asked for the
report from the Relocation-Rehabilitation Subcommittee _meeting
of October 10, 1972 concerning this grievance. Mr. Linder,
-
Chairman of the Relocation-Rehabilitation Subcommittee, read the
report which states as follows: -
This is a report of a meeting of the Relocation-
Rehabilitation Subcommittee of the Project Area Com-
mittee held at the Civic:Center-in Iowa City on
Tuesday, October 10, 1972.' The purpose of the meeting'
was to hear an appeal by Mr. Robert Legcr of the Urban
Renewal Department's denial of his claim for relocation :
payment connected with moving from an apartment in the
Ewers, Building.
Thosepresentwere: Mr. Robert Leger, Ellen Stites,
James Ryan and Jack Klaus, plus Committee members
Kent Braverman, Glen Roberts, Tom Wegman, Pearl West
and:Henry"Linder. The Committee had in hand a written
report by the Urban Renewal' Department concerning their
contacts with Mr. Leger and other information about his
case. Mr. Leger gave an oral account_of his-case and
the ,points-of disagreement. Ellen Stites told of: her
involvement in the Urban Renewal Department's investiga-
tion and also substantiated Mr._Leger's statements. It
became evident that for-whatever reason both sides feel
frustrated and angry over claims and counter-claims and
that emotions and personalities are involved. There are
-2 -
two main issues. I'hc first involves moving expenses.
Mr. Leger contends that he occupied two rooms in his
apartment and that -,according to -the guide lines he,
should be paid the amount set out for'moving two
rooms of furniture -regardless of the number of pieces
moved. The,Urban.Renewal Department in their denial
of his claim list the number of items that were moved
and-
contend that they constitute one room's furnish-
ings. The difference here is $50.00., -The second issue
involved the-amount:of rental assistance to be paid.
Tt seems evident that the crux of this issue is how the -
cost of the utilities were figured in arriving at the
cost of:a comparable unit. The Urban Renewal Depart-
ment used a figure of $125.00 which they contend
includes the cost of utilities while Mr. Leger contends
that the $125.00 isthe-cost of -a comparable, unit with-
out utilities. The -disputed amount is $22.00 per month.
Mr. Leger contends that he should be paid a'rental
-
assistance of $84.00 per month while the Urban Renewal
_- Department computes it as -$62.00 per 'month.,.-The_Sub-
committee feels that both parties acted sincerely and
in good faith but unfortunately a series of-emisunder-
standings sabotaged their best efforts. For this, reason
the Subcommittee recommends that a compromise be effected
as fol.Iows: l) That on the issue of moving expenses
Mr. Leger be allowed the relocation payment of $2Q..00
plus $105.00 this being the amount set out for moving
two rooms of furniture °or -a total of -$305.00. 2) That on
the issue ofrentalassistance Mr. Leger be allowed the
following: $84.00=per month for one year (the length
of his present lease) and $62.00 per month for the re-
maining three 'years. While M.. Leger feels that e is
h
entitled to '$84.00 per month supplement for`tile full
t four years he has o-
s -recommendations
to go along with the
t Subcommittee' -s -recommendations on, both the-rental.assis
ubcommit moving expenses. The Subcommittee would like
to again -moving ey that they do not wish to condemn any
of the parties involved and -that they do not wish to
take sides as to who was right and who was wrong. They
sincerely feel that unclear guidelines, rule changes
misunderstandings resulted
during negotiations plus other
in an impasse that can only be t
'resolved that
the Project
compromise.
Accordingly the Subcommittee recommends that
Area Committee join in urging the Urban Renewal-Depart-
mentto accept the above compromise and implement it in
its entirety_
Mr. Linder also stated that there is a supplement to the above
report which states as follows:
The Subcommittee feels that the Leger case brings up a
number of procedural points, rules and guidelines that
-3 -
need clarification. They include the following:
1. - Ploving-allowance: What is a room of Curmiturc?
In a multi. -room apartment is the moving allow

number of pieces of furniture to be moved or a

4. How long does the rental assistance covingo t

We would like to have these and other items discussed and

clarified in the hope of avoiding another
as we now have in the Leger case.

other reason. If moving for a reason other than acquisition
of the property, the person may not be eligible for relocation
assistance. When: - Mr. -Leger came in the Urban Renewal Office
he stated that he 'wanted to move because his apartment was not
up to City standards. Mr. Leger did not move simply because
Urban Renewalacquiredthe building. Mr Klaus also said that
he doubted if HUD would giveUrbanRenewal a black and white
an as to who is eligible for relocation assistance and who
is not. The more involved Urban Renewal becomes with the
Uniform Relocation Act tile more they find areas; of gray and
fewer areas of black and white. Urban Renewal conceded this
question of eligibility to Mr. Leger and said they 'would `make
him 'eligible.
The second issue, which Mr. Linder brought up, was what is a
- room of furniture. Mr. Klaus stated that `this `question -was
anticipated by Urban Renewal and a -letter -has already been
drafted to -HUD. He added that it is irrelevant how many rooms
You move from. The nature of the items to be moved - he said
further complicate' this matter'. Is there _a set number of items
which constitute two rooms of furniture? This -also -has been
discussed with HUD, and the decision as to_hourmany rooms of
furniture are being moved is tip to the person assisting in -re
locating the tenant. - In Leger's case, Urban Rcnewal made the
decisionthatone room ,of furniture was being moved.
--- The third issue rental assistance payment, was also a point of
misunderstanding in the Leger case. Mr. Klaus said that Urban
Renewal has a letter from HUD stating that in calculating the
rental assistance_ payment they are to use the lessor of one of
two things: The rental of a comparable unit, or the actual rent
that a'person is paying in the place that he has moved to. Alr.
Klaus then read this letter from HUD. 7n the Leger case Urban
Renewal complied with this letter.
AIT. Klaus said Urban Renewal will accept the recommendation from
the Relocation -Rehabilitation Subcommittee. Mr. Klaus then stated
that he felt he had a basic misunderstanding of the word "com-
promise" as it was presented here tonight. :The suggestion that
Urban Renewal' give` the "claimant `a payment for two rooms of furni-
ture and -also --the maximum amount allowable under the law, $84.00
Per month for a year, in his opinion is hardly a`compromise. Air.
Braverman said that the compromise is in the fact that they
suggested giving _Mr. _:Leger the $&4.00 per _month 'for one year
" instead of for the four years which Alr. Leger had asked for. Alr.
Feddersen said that if rules are vague, for_instance on the matter
of two rooms of furniture or one room of furniture, Urban Renewal
should lean in favor of the injured party.: He added that no one
can be blamed in this situation, it is a matter of vagueness.
Mr. Klaus added that the Local Public Agency makes the determina-
tion through him, and the only _vagueness he can see atthispoint
-s_
is a question of Urban Renewal's judgment, which is certainly -
.,open -to question andthe reason for having. grievance.: procedures.
The next item of business was -reports from'-standingcommittees.
NIT. Linder commented that the Relocation -Rehabilitation Sub-
committee had nothing except the Leger case to report. He
brought up the pointagainthat Urban` Renewal had 'changed the
determinationonDir. Leger from two rooms of furniture to one
room of furniture. Mr. Linder also commented on the rental
assistance payment that it would be an easy mistake to use a
rental figure on an apartmentthatdid not include utilities
and say this figure does -;include utilities Mr. Leger commented
that he was operating under the 'assumption -that fie was to be
paid for two rooms of furniture plus a utility subsidy,` and on
this basis signed a lease on another apartment. He also ,said he
did not find out that he was to be -paid for only one room of
furniture until after he had signed the other lease. Mr. Braverman
commented that the Relocation -Rehabilitation Subcommittee had
found the whole business of utilities to be very confusing and
suggested that using some type of form at all times writing down
all the figures concerning the breakdown of utilities and the
rent situation would be of great benefit to avoid'a lot of the
confusion. -
NIT. Leger then spoke saying -he would like to clear up the reason
for his wanting to move. lie stated that his roof leaked and,
therefore, he wanted out of the apartment Mr. Braverman stated
that he felt the problem of the roof leaking was caused by the
fact that the owner of the Ewers Building was faced for seven
years with the imminent acquisition of his property by Urban
Renewal. Therefore,, the owner could not justify making such
repairs on his _building,: and the -tenants should not be made to
suffer because of this situation. Mr. Feddersen' brought up the
fact_ -that the Urban Renewal program has not proceeded as Vapidly
as itwas thought to, ,and the fault for this liesnotwith the
Urban Renewal Office. fie added that a delayed program makes for -
- unhappy claimants. Mr. Klaus then asked why was it only impera-
tive that the claimant move after Urban Renewal` purchased the
Ewers Building,` if the building was in such bad 'shape. hir.
Braverman stated that he felt why a=person:-moves :should not be --
taken into consideration` because there is no factual basis for
- making ,such a determination.NIT. Klaus said that -the-basis is
the law. A_person is eligible for.relocation assistance if he
moves because Urban Renewal has acquired the property, not
because he does not -want to live there anymore. -Dir. Feddersen
then asked NIT. Leger why he moved out of the Ewers Building.
Mr. Leger stated that the reason he waited _until. Urban Renewal
acquired -the Ewers Building tomove, out was -because he was told
by Urban Renewal that -if he moved before that time, he would not
be eligible for relocation_ assistance. -
Mr. Braverman then asked if the City makes repairs on buildings
purchased by the City. "NIT. Klaussaidthey -have -done -this. Mr.
Braverman lfelt -that this did not make much sensc to put muncy
into repairs of a'hui`I(Iing that -Urban Renewal bill he tearing
down and, therefore, a person should be allo4ied to move early.
Mr. Feddersen said that one thing Urban Renewnl would be con
corned with if a`person was allowed to move before acquisition
of the property with relocation assistance,, is another person
moving into the building and Urban Renewal having to ,pay for
the second Person's relocation also. —Mr. Klaus stated that
- after ,Urban Renewal ownsthe building, no one else is allowed
to move in. Mr. Braverman -said -he believed the Urban Renewal- -
program was designed so as not to create hardship on the part
of the building owner or tenant, and if they wish -to 'move _early,
they _should be able to with relocation assistance and then
Urban Renewal pay to keepthe apartment or business vacant, which
would be less expensive than repairing some of these buildings.
Mr. Moore then asked Mr. Leger how long his roof: had been leak-
_ing and.when he made_ application to move to_the_Urban Renewal
Office. Mr. Leger said his roof had -been -leaking since May,
at which time he -made, application to move.` Mr. Moore then
asked if the reason Mr. Leger wished to move was because his
roof leaked. Mr. Leger said yes, aside from that he had -every
-
reason to want to stay there. Mr. Klaus stated that Urban Renewal
o has no control over a building prior to Urban Renewal acquiring
it. Mr. Braverman stated that the Subcommittee felt that a
particular point to be noted in this case was the fact that rule
changes had occurred between the time -a person living next 'door
to Mr.` Leger -had been paid relocation assistance and the time
Mr. Leger wished to move. He felt this should be accounted for.
Mr. Klaus agreedwithMr. Braverman, adding,_ however, _that 'Urban
Renewal' cannot act contrary to the-new_directive,from the _federal
I overnment. hlr Braverman stated that the Leger case had begun
prior to Urban Renewal receiving this new directive, therefore,
except -ion should be taken in this particular case. Mr. -Klaus said
'that when Mr. Leger's case started, the question was not: rooms of
furniture;; and was not ]low Urban Renewal calculated "the -_rental
assistance payment, it was eligibility. When Mr. Leger first came
in he was not eligible because he was moving; for a reason; other
than Urban Renewal acquiring the building. Later, Urban Renewal
compromised with Mr._,Leger and made him eligible. Mr. Braverman
commented that the reason the Ewers Building ,was in bad repair
was because Urban Renewal was in the process of acquiring that
property, therefore, Mr. Leger's desire to move because 'of'`a-leak-
ing roof was actually caused by Urban Renewal acquiring the build-
ing. --Mr.-Feddersen then asked if Mr. -Leger` - would have wanted to
move if Urban Renewal was not to acquire the building: Mr -.::Klaus
said apparently he would have because _Mr. Leger -did not like the
place.'
Mr. Feddersen called -for a motion. Mr. Mannmovedthat
The Project Area Committee=recommend to the :City Council
that they accept the recommendations of the: Subcommittee
on this particular matter of Robert Leger.
-7 -
Mr. Chudwick seconded. The motion was passed with no "nay" votes.
Mr. _Fcddersen asked Mr. Linder to review the Supplement to the
Relocation- Rehabilitation Subcommittee's report. Mr. Klaus
suggested that the Supplement -be -submitted to his office and he
would try to get a response to these questions. Mr. Linder
added that thequetions contained in the _Supplement were points
the Subcommittee felt should be clarified to avoid another case
like Mr. Leger's. -
Mr. Feddersen stated that, the Chair accepts the Supplement to
the Relocation -Rehabilitation Subcommittee Report
- Mr. Mann asked Mr.'Klaus,if he was being relocated by; Urban
Renewal, is there a form he would fill. out and sign stating how -
many rooms he occupied, how long he had lived there, and other
such information. Mr. Klaus replied that Urban Renewal has -a
book called "Relocation Facts and Claims Guide", which contains
all the needed information.-- But Urban 'Renewal does not ask a
person to sign this. Mr. Klaus added that Urban Renewal has no
problem gettingthe needed information from-reiocatees. Mr.
Braverman said that the "Relocation Facts and Claims Guide" con-
tains what the relocation representative says the person has,
not what -the person says he has He felt it would clarify things
if the person being relocated would look at -this book and "sign it.
Mr. Mann agreed with this idea. Mr. Klaus stated there is
definitely room -for -improvement. Dir.-Feddersen statedthathe
felt it would be an aid to both Urban Renewal and the relocatee if,
where a person is capable and knowledgeable, he list an inventory
of what he has. Mr. Mann agreed. Mr. Braverman thea told Mr.
Leger that the Project Area Committee sends their recommendation
to the City Council, and they will act on it officially. He also
told Mr. Leger he was free to be at the Council meeting if he so
- desired. Mr Braverman asked' - if Urban -Renewal concurred with the
Project Area Committee's recommendation Mr. Klaus stated that
Urban Renewal did not say they -were „concurring with the Project
- '
Area Committee's recommendation.
Mr. Klaus then spokeon the progress in the R-14 project area.
He stated that Urban Renewal now owns' 31' properties of the 110,
approximately 1/3 of the project area. Urban Renewal will be
closing on Henry Linder's property and .the 'Moose Parking Lot in
the next couple of weeks. Appraisals have begun in block 93,
and next year things should be ready to go in this block. He
further stated that things were going right on schedule at this
point in the project area. Speaking on relocation, Mr. Klaus
stated that. the _modular units have not been a problem. The City
Council approved the modular units Tuesday,`' October 17, and bids
will be opened on the construction of these units on Friday,- -
October 20,' 3t the Civic; Center. fie further stated that all but
one of the modular units has been occupied, by letters of intent.
Speaking on demolition, -,Mr. Klaus said demolition would be started
N -C
in block 81 as soon as possible.
Mr. feddersen asked if Urban Renewal has some way to keep people
who are going to be acquiredfrom getting excited and moving out
early. Mr. Klaus said that Urban Renewal stresses this point
with their relocatees. M•r. Moore asked what was going on at the
old Malcolm Jewelers location.- Mr. Klaus said that the tenants
on the second floor of this building were moved to tile first floor
`so that Urban Renewal _would not have to pay to heat the second
and third floors. Ile added that a tenant --can move elsewhere
within the same building, but not to another building owned by
Urban Renewal. Mr. Klaus also stated that parcels 64-1 and 82-1
are now for sale, and bids will be opened on this property on
- January 16, 1973.- The Dotty Dunn fiat Shop site is also _for. 'sale,
bids being opened December 21;-'1972. -ale said Urban Renewal -is
still trying togeta hotel interested in: developing in downtown
Iowa City. .Ile also said Urban Renewal would like to form a com-
mittee, made up of ordinary Iowa City citizens, to promote Iowa
City, to developers. Mr. Klaus further stated that tile Senior
-- Citizen (lousing Project has been abandoned. Mr. Wegman_asked
what would happen if -no one bids on the department store site.
Mr. Klaus answered that he would be led to believe that either
the price is too high, or the department stores do not want to
develop here. Therefore, either the price would-be Toiered or
this property would be made available for other development.
Mr. Peddersen then welcomed a new member to the Project Area
Comm:ittec, Mr. Les Moore. Mr. Klaus -then, -spoke on the status
of the parking ramp. Ile said there was an injunction against
the ramp, whichprevented Urban Renewal. from delivering, the
bonds, and building the ramp. __Ile -said that on October 18 there
would be a ruling on various motions in the case. Depending on
what the decisions"are.on the 18th, there will be a trial begin
ning October -24th, -at --9:00 in the Court Mouse. The trial will be
over.a basic question as to whether the City can build a parking
ramp with rev Ienue=funds. Ile -stated -.that the legal. settlement
of this question will probably take until sometime next spring.
--Now the approach has to be changed on marketing the land for
the department store. It was marketed before as;having 'a parking
ramp next door, but now Urban Renewal is saying that if you
build'a department` store, we willbuild a -ramp. The parking ramp
-
department -store -site has jarred the plan for the Dubuque Street
mall. The question now is should Urban Renewal go ahead in
1973, as originally planned, and build that mall, thus, locking
the City into that physical configuration of the ground, without
having any commitments on the land"around -it. At this. point
Urban Renewal says no, we should not. They want to tie block
64 down to something before they start tearing up Dubuque Street.
Mr. Braverman asked if ,Urban Renewal can guarantee building a
parking ramp for a department store. Mr. Klaus answered no,
the department store _,developer would-be taking a-risk=on this.
Mr.--Klaus`further stated that he felt it would be easier to
attract a department store if a parking ramp; was to be ,built
next: door.- Mr. Moore,, Chairman of the Parking Committee on the

Chairman Madsen called the meeting, to order by, asking if there

Attorney Philip A. Leff,_ appearing on behalf of the petitioner,
stated that the Staff Report was favorable to the 'rezoning
request. He further stated that the ;property is approximately
131 acres behind the north of the church and is largely surrounded

by multifamily zones. The
because it is not, suitable for expansion of-the church but does
seem suitable for expansion into apartments-which would would fit
well into the surrounding neighborhood.
Mrs. Charles Schiele, 711 Westgate, spoke against the rezoning.
She presented a petition which pointed out the following
objections: (1) possible lack of adequateparking` spaces,
(2)_excessive water run-off, (3) possible detrimental effect
on property values of single family residences directly across
the street.
- Rev. John N. Vaughan, pastor of the University Baptist Church,
pointed out that parkinghagnot and does not appear to be a
problem as-there-are presently no cars parking on the street.
Dr. Beasley indicated that with a request for R3 zoning, parking
should not-be a problem.
Mr. Galiher stated he had no particular objection to this request
but would oppose an extension of the R3 ,zone should the church
property be sold. Mrs. Davidsen said she would certainly be
opposed to it extending to West Benton Street.
-Mr. Henry asked the Staff about the topography of the land.
Mr. Royce commented that, as the Staff report indicated, fill

of the parcel
Mr. Henry asked what impact this zoning, if approved, wouldhaveon drainage -in -the -subject -area- Mr. MooreCity Engineer,
indicated that the impact would depend on the development plan
submitted. However, two possible problems might be: (1) it
is small enough that itmaynot have to come before the City
for approval, (2) another problem might be with the sanitary
sewer system. He explained that the City requires that each
Piece of property has direct access to the sanitary sewer and
the: only 'way the -City =can check it is when someone comes in
with a development plat. One more building permit would be
allowed on the land without going through the.City for approval.
Mr. Moore explained that the City couldpossibly, get: -around --
this problem by the church subdividing their entire property
into two lots. 'If they would do this, then the City would have
to approve the subdivision plat. This_would-be--a way for the
City to keep control or at least have a look at the physical
facilities at the time the subdivisiongoes in.

Gentlemen:
Citizens For A Letter Iowa
City is aware of the fact that
at present a study is being
made of zoning in an area that
includesSummit Street. We
can, therefore, understand the
action of the Planning and
Zoning Commission, but at the
same time we understand the
concern and need for positive
action before this area is
transformed. `
We stronglyurge that the Summit
Street area be preserved
through rezoning.
If rezoning is not approved
today, we hope that the zon-
ing study will be completed
and final action taken on it,
before any; additional building
permits are issued in this
area.
We are not unaware of the economic factors, but at the
_ same time, our concern must
be related to the total cam- -
munity, and our action related
to the type of community
we desire.
:
Sincerely,
- _Robert -L. Welsh
Chairman, Citizens For
-
A Better Iowa City
• e
NEVI-AMERICAN MOVEMENT POSITION ON THE REZONING REQUEST
FOR S. SUMMIT, E. COURT AND S. G:O-VERNOR-STREETS
Nrw American Movement wlshes to support the request of reIsId11 ents of the
S. Summit, E. Court and S. Governor area to rezone from R31, to R3 and R2.
In doing so we also support the recommendation of the city staff and oppose the
TIL131tion of the Planning and Zoning Commission which acies against their
of-rn staff position.
In supporting the rezoning request, we wish to stress that we do not
categorically favor zoning out multiple family uses In the-central-portion of
d. city. To the contrary, there is a real crisis InhousingpeoFls of ]ow
and moderate incomes who need multiple family dwellings. In tais case,
however, we feel that the type of apartments `that are apt to be constructed
., I ' tend to be out of the reach of many of the lovrincome pcopi? needing:
hou,ing. Further, we do not feel that the housing crisis can be met by
sirnoly allowing good single familyrresidencesto decay, In this context we
continue to. urge the city to take immediate steps to formulate and implement.
a housing policy for people of low and moderate incomes_
Tr tie present case the rationale presented by the• opponents to :he rezoning
needs to be consideredcarefully. They claim that It w:.lt be contrary to the
malntenance of high property values, and Injurio%s to those whc have
pc rt.hased property in the area in question with -the expe(,tadOn of gaining a
t_igi; profit through development of multiple family dwellings' The staff -
reprrrt, while supporting the rezoning, also cites the importcncc Of property
values in making :a determination of this sort. it is crucial, however, in
applying this 'criterion 'to ask just whose, property values should receive the
mC).-: consideration. If the city places, property values for multiple family
use as-the highest priority, they do-so at the expense of those =lho are
concerned with property values for single family Ise. Ir. otFer-lords, if
the rezoning request is denied and Mr. Thompson and others are allowed to
stuff the area with characterless apartments and conversions, the value of
property for single family use will decline becauee of the resultlrrg decline
In amenity and increased congestion In the area. ' It will sirr-ply make the
single family houses in that area less attractive -o people vvtsh:ngto
pu chase single family homes and hence the valur=s for that use will decrease.
Slnnr the predominant use in the area is single fz.mily (81%). a=failure to
rezone will be at the expense of most of the resiclents in the arca. It will
60 at the expense of all the people of Iowa ('ity ^Jho look ipon that
r"-1 rs part of the city's heritage.
£h best use of any parcel of land cannot be Judged in terms of the potential
prorit it may bring as income property. Rather, best use mu:;t n fleet the
i.,-ie of the people most affected by public policy. -There are alternative
Page 2
'Investments for developers like Mr. Thompson, but there are riot similar
alternatives for the bulk of the residents who simply wish'pubtic policy to
support the maintenance of their homes and neighborhood. -
in ,supporting the rezoning request, the city staff expressed one reservation.
They pointed out that their study of the area was incomplete and that the
-equest maybe premature. We disagree. with this reservation As the council
and city staff well knows, theeffect of turning down the requent will be to
cause the Immediate demolition of one-of-Iowa City"s fine %.13toric homes and
the construction of another apartment complex In its place. In addition,
'here is another conversion pending on Court Street. , By delaying the rezoning,
%he city may unwittingly create the rationale for never rezoning the area.
if demolition, apartment building and conversicas continue:, 'it maybe possible
.o argue in the future that the character of the z.rea is such that it is most
suitable for multiple family use, even thoughthe present character of the
neighborhoodisjust the opposite. Such action through Inaction Is the antithesis
of planning. If we delay long enough, studies canshc:w that the delay Itself
^reates the sort of area that is no longer suitable for single femily use.
In summary, we support the recommendation of the city st4.ff z nd,oppose thatof
r_he Planning and, Zoning Commission. We further oppose eittempting to solve
he housing crisis in the city by-allowing-,good _ singlefamily_creas to
Acteriorate. Finally, -we strongly stress the need for the city to take
3osltive policy action to meet the housing crisis directly while at the same
cime acting to preserve the residential areas that are prescntly in good shape.
.e.feell that voting in favor of the rezoning request hili be one step in
ei?atdirection.

- MEMORANDUM
clntc: October 24, 1972 -
to: Ray S. IVolls, City Manager
subject: Grievance Hearing of Mr. Robert Leger
Mr. Robert Leger was a tenant in the Ewer's building at 105'
South Clinton. He is appealing the amount of relocation pay-
ments we have authorized. A report of this case follows.
At stake in.this,case are three basic issues: eligibility for
relocation assistance, _number 'of rooms of furniture to be moved
andthe amount of the rental assistance payment to be paid by
the LPA for four years.
In Mr. Leger's initial interview, he was told that he was not
an eligible claimant since he was not -moving _"...as a result of
acquisition of real property :but rather, _by his; own admission,
thathedid not like his apartment. _'(See enclosedopinion of
counsel regarding eligibility.), This was, admittedly, -a change
in policy by the LPA occassioned by our having 'paid `moving 'ex-
penses from the same unit more than once'- once before we pur-
chased the property, but after we made an offer, and once after
we had -taken title,to -the property.,- Our present interpretation
of the criteria for eligibility is that a``person moves as a:
result of ac uisition and not'simply because he/she does not like
t e welling:unit,
None of the other tenants -in the captioned parcel are anxious to
move and we will not be demolishing this structure -for at least
nine months. However, we did make.an exception in Mr. Leger's
case, following our policy of attempting to do all in our power
to assist persons whom we will -relocate.
Having gotten over that hurdle we then began talking about re-
location payments. If a claimant elects to take a "fixed pay-
ment" in lieu of actual reasonable moving expenses, he receives
: a "dislocation allowance" Of $200.00_'and another payment for
moving the number of rooms of furniture which -,he has. The rate
for a "room of furniture" is set.by tKe State Highway Commission,
and is $55.00 for -the first room, $50.00 for the second, etc. up
to 8 rooms. Initially, we dete-raiined that the claimant had two
rooms of furniture. Upon re-examination of the case we deter-
mined that the amount of furniture to be moved constituted only
one room of furniture (See letter to Mr. Leger --dated September 22.)

-
We still stand on our determination that the furniture to be
moved is "one room of furniture".
Finally, on the basis of HUD -Circular 1371.5, dated August 18,
1972, we determined that the rental for a comparable unit would
be $125.00, $110.00 rent plus:$15.00 for -utilities each month.
The HUD directive stated that in.determining the amount of a
relocation assistance payment (RAP) we are to use, -the following
formula:
1. An amount equal to the lessor of
a. the actual monthly rental for the replace-
eplace-ment'dwelli.ng;
ment dwelling;or -
b. the monthly rental for a comparable, dwelling -
2. Minus the monthly rental for the claimant's previous'
dwelling.
The determination was .made on the basis of available units at
the time -of -the claimant's move, the majority of which ,were
-less than the $140.00 monthly rent -=for the dwelling the claimant
wanted:- A copy of the listing of these units is enclosed. The
claimant is°'making,a claim for the maximum rental assistance
payment of $84.00 per month. :Our determination .is that his RAP
Should be $62100 per month. -

I have been requested by'a memorandum-o£ June 12, 1972, to eme
that

ofywhat bhas sbeen
have been encountered. I must say that I ag
said inthememo Of June

itations which were
to in the memo. of -June 12 and have also looked through the Handbook
referred
myself._ -
It seems to me that the critical issue with respect to a Prospective

relocation payment is not the issue of_the so-called "date of elig' Urban
but rather whetherornot the claimant has in fact bBasien cisplaced r-ligibilbtl
Renewal. The regulations in Chapter 6, §l, part 3, y—
l2equircments, sets forth the three eligibility dates which night apply to a
given or particular situation. That is to say, the tenant may become
eligible after title to the property i. acquired, or a'-ter receipt of a
%vritten order to vacate, or after receipt of a written notice of intent to
ac�;uire property. There is little that we. can do, it seems to me, to charge
his regulation nor perhaps i s there a real need to change it.
As indicated above, it seems to me that the realdeterminationto be
whether the claimant is in fact a "displaced person". Public sa result"
defines displaced person as a person 'who moves fro.;, property

person would not have moved from the, dwelling unit at this time except mor_
its acquisition by Urban Renewal._ Such a. person would be an eligible
claimant.
c) An elderly lady living in the building moves to California
Saving made plans a year ago to join her family there. The move takes
place at this time because the California plans have dictated the timing.
Such, a;_person -would not, it seems to me, be considered a`person <who has
moved from the property -as a result of its acquisition by Urban Renewal.
Such -a person would not, in my.opinion, bs an eligible claimant.
d) A student moves out of an apartment in a building at the
end of a semester and goes home ;for the summer and has no plans or would
have -had no plans to return to_thispremises or to keep he dwelling unit
over - the summer. Such a person would not, in my opinion, -_be an eligible
person.
As you can see fron the above examples, it ,does seem to me that
t e Relocation Staff muses make a zeal effort to determine; the reason for
the move. Probably the benefit o:6 -the doubt ought;to be given to the
claimant. However, where it appears that the claimant is not moving as a
:.'cult of the acgu"sition of the ;aroperty_bu is moving_?or other reason's,then. it seems to me the claim ought to be denied. ;I recognize that within

o£ examples which would be difficult if not
impossible to decide under the very scanty criterion I set fortheabove. I
certainly cannot cover every situation`that.might arise in this memorandum.
"However; the Relocation Staff, -being experienced in this area, should be
able to; develop criterion to apply in__doubtful situations.
Greatcareshould be exercised by the Relocation Staff in order to
make sure that tenants and other persons effected by Urban Renewal are
treated fairly and in accordance' with the law. At -the same time the Staff
s:ould make sure that uncalled for payments are not made in order to avoid
squandering public funds upon ineligible claimants: Unfortunately, at times
ti0-process-of_deciding'whether a claimant is eligible or not will be a
rjJ.-ficiI—, one due to the lack of extremely Idefinite criterion to be applied.
:icc,ever, the fact that tne.decisioa is'difficult should not be a reason for
zollowing a blanket_, policy which results either in the unnecessary payment
.of all claims of claimants or the unnecessary denial of a'll claims.

INTRODUCTION
This guide suggests essential steps and issues wilich help ensure that \vcll-
informed decisions are made by those responsible for developing broadband
communication. systems for a community. The following discussion has two
functions: first, it is a checklist in determining how• a -cable system should be
established in contpli;ince with federal regulation; and second, it is a guide to
areas where assistance may be needed to assure a thoughtful process.
Its obiective is to set forth for public officials a general vicw of a
process
by which issues may be considered, local legislation written, in;operator
selected and the system constructed.
The principal recommendation is that local Officials take the initiative to
decide the kind of cable system 111-y want, rather than wait lO decide be-
tween the alternatives others present.
This guide begins with a short discussion of federal guidelines and their
impact on this process. This is followed by_a-Sllgg( ted procedure, examined

Federal Regulation of Cable and IIs Impact orf the Local Process
Cable television, because it is a link in interstate communications, fallswithin the
regulatory power of the Federal Communications Commission. -rile commission has r
set national policies and regulations which provide a framework for regulation.
However, the most fundamental aspects of cable regulation, such as who will operate'
a system and whattheboundaries of a service -area will be, are questions dcicnroned
by local governments. A localprocessmust take into account the procedural `require.
ments and standards set by the PCC for local regulation: —
Specifically, the FCC order issuing the federal guidelines states that:
before a cable system commences operaiion with :a broadcast signal, it
must, obtain a certificate of compliance from file Commission. 'rile appli-
cation for such -a certificate must contain (Section 76.31 (a)(1) a copy of
the franchise and a detailed statement showing that the franchise author-
hy has considered In a public proceeding- the system operators -,,v chm'auer,- f/iranc/ul, technical, and other gtialifirations, and the adequacy
and feasibility of eonshftclion arrangemcnls. lVc expect that franchising
authorities will publicly invite applications, that all applications will be
Rlaced on public_nic, that notice of such filings will be given, that where
appropriate apublic hearing will be held to afford all interested persons an
opportunity to testify on the qualifications of the applicants, and that the
franchising authority will issue'a public report setting forth the basis for
its action- Such ptiblic liartieipation'in the franchising process is necessary
to assure that the needs and desires of all segments of the community are
carefully considered.
A Suggested Proc%dure
t- ORGANIZING PHASE
A franchising authority has two organizing tasks: to develop a basic understanding
of cable issues, and to select.a mechanism to gather the information on which to -
base cable decisions.
A. Develop Basic Understanding of Cable Issues
Public officials will need to learn the basic dimensions of cable, what it is and'
how it works They should understand the federal, state and local regulatory
framework and give thought to the political, social, educational, economic and
cultural implications for the community.
At this point in cable's development it is still, possible to shape the technology
to serve the public. To have a responsible influence public officials will want to
understand cable communications and the issues that bear on the decisions they
will be required to make,
B. , Select Mechanism for Study
Consideration should be given to creating or identifying a mechanism to gather
information on which to base well-informed cable decisions. Among the concerns
involved are the study's intent and the talent needed to accomplish the study.
1. STUDYINTENT
The local franchising authority has -responsibility for two critical decisions: rt
P '
the kind of system to be built, and who will operale,it. hlccltanisins such as
committees vary from those delegated responsibility f0,i both functions to
'i
those lintilcrl to it very specialized area. Information i athcrinl; optiuns include a
full-scale feasability study, a survey of ilia options availalllc to the iiiunicft%ility
-
or an in-depth study of selected issues.`l•hc study's scope is datrrmincd by !he
level of information considetcd necessary to male decisions, Icnipered by re-
source and time limitations.
2. TALENT NEEDED
Before selecting a study format, the community shuuld examine the kinds of
talent needed Jor the study and its availability. Technical skills essential to the
understanding and development of a cable system fall into three basic areas:
legal, engineering and financial. -In addition, -public adminislralivc.and urban
analytical skills are _essential ii, examining potential municipal use of a cable
system.
All sectors of the community may be considered -is resources for talent:
government;, (elected officials and professional staff), school system (board
members, administrators, teachers), university community, business and legal
` community; religious community, civic organizations. - - --
'
Any talent needs, including consultants, whichcannot be met on a volunteer
basis should be detailed for budgetary rcciuirenicnis.
3. TYPES OF COMMITTEE STRUcTURL•S '-
a. Local Governing Body Stud,,, Committee,
Local legislators have four basic areas of responsibility in regulating cable
television: general investigation of the issues, passage of ordinances,' selection
of ownership, and supervision and enforcement of regulations applying to
the system.
To fulfill these obligations, policymakers Must obtain the necessary infor-
'.
mation on whichtobase decisions in each' arca. The data can be gathered
-
' and evaluated _ by a -committee 'of ilia whole, a standing committee, or a
specifically appointed ad hoc committee. The governing body may want a
special study prepared by its profess;anal staff or can considercommission-
ing a,study.
--
'b. Internal Munlcipol Studles
'
It is a common practice for governmental units to undertake self -con-
- tained sallies of current issues. Some,jurisdictions_have research services
which carry out studies on a regular basis; in others,,the study may be done
by a_committee representative of city departments or under Ilia direction of
a single department -often the planting department or the office of the chic(
executive:
Thepurposeis 'to provide city officials with sufficient information to
make decisions in the best interest of the, municipality. The study can also
serve to educate these officials and to collect information on possible munic-
ipal uscs.of the cable system.
_
c. Public Studer Commission
Study commissions offer consider able flexibility because they can include
members of the public to augment the skills available within the local gov-
'
crnment. Such a committee's membership includes elected officials and pro-
�j
fessional- city staff together with educators, members of ilia business and
;legal communities, and representatives of community and civic groups.
s
S.
The purpose of the commission's appointment can range from a full feasi-
bility study to a survey of the community's sense about the utilization of
cable television. 3
d. Regional Conurli...sions
Because cable television is a communications nledillill tll the capacity to
interconnect with sySienu of adjacent governmcnial units, groups of neigh
boring conununitics often decide to evaluate Gable communications issues
from a regional perspective. The mechanism used for such an approach is `
generally one of the following:
i. An Existing Slrawturc
Many communities belong to regional planning commissions or arca
Councils -of govcriullc111.—convenient struciures for c01•nprehensive area
=cable studies.=Using an existing mechanism provides tile immediate bene-
fits of -a regional perspective to local issues,and perhaps additional re-
sources. Typically, this type of structure can be used only to study and
plan cable systems, because the mechanism rarely has the legal authority
to pass legislation or grant a franchise.
It. A Struetm—c Created -Expressly for Cable Communications Study
Group. Recently, Some governmental units have joined together for
the specific purpose of developing a regional plan for television.
This usually has been.effected by each_parlicipaiing municipality
approving enabling legislation designating; the city's representatives)
on the committee, allocating funds and defining the eomntissioll's
purpose.
Study/Fr:anchise Authority. In other illSlances, the intcrgovcrn•
mental-eooperilive venture could be expanded to grant a'franchise.
subject to the veto of each parlicipating city. 1-lo%vever,,ma ,y state
constitutional, statutory, and home -rule provisions preclude this typa
of action.
4. FUNDING
Budgets for cable committees vary greatly depending upon the scope of their -
responsibility, -tile expertise of their personnel, anis the tinle available. The
budget should, of course, be established by the committee in conjunction with
the authorizing authority.
Factors to be considered when determining costs: include professional and
clerical support staff, outside consultancy, and public information materials.
The franchising authority need not be -considered the sole source of funds.
The federal government or local and national foundations may also be sources..
'In the future, funds may be available through state planning or development
departments.
Tile selection of a study structure in a community -marks the completion of
the organizing stage. Using this process, the franchising authority will have
assessed its interest in terms of cable and crealcd a procedure for obtaining the
information necessary for its decisions on the development of cable television.
II. STUDY PLIAS[
Because of the varied problems in municipalities and the different conceivable
possible approaches, itis impossible to establish a complete list of cable issues to be
suldicd. The cornmitice should follow a procedure' designed to maximize resources
9 ,.
and cover the broadest range of issues. The following study phase presents an ap-
proach to administrative problems and -a list or substantive questions. These qucs.
tions by no means exhaust the issues surrounding local involvement in tabic develop
men:; thcyserve only to indicate the scope of the issues.
A. Establish Study Procedures
A study will no[ proceed easily or automatically. Its intent will be realized only
if its scope and rationalearecarefully determined, its budgetary and: personnel
requiremcnts precisely established,' and timing or duration carefully fixed. Before
embarking on any --study the cable committee should define with its authorizing
body:
'The reason fur carrying out the study
*
How- the study will be utilized
* How the public will participate (public hearings)
* Budget and staff for the study
* Deadlines forthestudy` -
A useful procedure for coordinating a study to consider issues such as the ones
identified below in B might include the following steps:'
* Breaking down issues into manageable areas
* Establishment of study groups (subcommittees)
* Determination of need and use of consultants
* Establishment of study timetables
* Public participation (workplan for public_involvenienl, calendar and mecha-
nism for involvcmcnt bf advocate groups and gencial public, conununity,
education malelials, publicity, circulation or final report)
B. Identify Issues for Study
1. WHAT KINDS OF SI--RVICES SHOULD A CABLE SYSTEM
PROVIDE IN A COMMUNITY?
* What kinds of services docs cable technology now permit?
* What are the technological developments that will affect the availability of
future services as a cable system develops?

7. THE ISSUES RAISED IN THE ORDINANCE OUTLINE PRESENTED
IN THE LEGISLATIVE PHASE MUST BE EXAMINED
The completion of the study phase should give the local franchising author-
ily sufficient information on which to base its decision concerning cable Iclevi-
sion. Once a direction has been clearly established, it -is impurtant to develop
11
sound legislation which will protect .the rights of Ihe'franchising authority not
only during tile applicant selection process, but in the syslenl's development
=
and usc.
III. 'LEGISLATION PHASE
- 111 terms of Illlp;lCt, this phase of the process Is the tilosi vital. ill the legislative -
process the franchising authority makes .,and formalizes its decisions about cable -
television. All provisions it considcrs:neccssary,andimportant to its cable system
must be embodied in this ordinance. 'Requirements omitted froirn the ordinance,
despite assurances to the contrary, can seldon be implemented.
In the development of its legislation, the community might talc the following
measures:
A. - Identify Legal Restrictions on Local Regulation, Federal and Slate
and Local Limitations
B. Establish Procedural Alechanisin for Writing and Enacting the Ordinance
With Public Participation
C. Draft Proposed Ordinance -
The contents of the ordinance are, of course, a matter for local decision, but it
-
might be organized as indicated:
1. PURPOSE OF THE ORDINANCE AND NATURE OF THE GRANT—

f. indemnification, insurance, _iability_for Damages
g. Foreclosure,' Receivership
D. Enact an Ordinance
At this point, the franchise authority formally makes its decisions about the
development of its cable television system and the purpose it will serve.
A strong, well written ordinance protects the franchising authority and assists
the applicants in preparing' relevant applications. It serves as the basis for the:
applicant selection process.
IV. APPLICANTSELf_CTION PHASE
The ordinance defines file relationship between the franchising authority and the
cable operalor..At the sanle time, the ordinance should prescribe the method for.
choosing tile-frrltichlsec. The skilICCI use of a comprehensive` applicationfurm inn
open public proceeding can help ensure the selection of an appropriate operator for
the system..Thisselection process cao be bypassed only if the franchising authority
has decided to develop a cable system under municipal ownership.
In the development of the applicant selection process, local officials must address
a number of issues _
A. Decide How to Select Franchisee
1. THE FRANCHISING AUTHORITY
The franchising authority may wish to retain control throughout the entire _
application selection process and make the final decision on the franchise. -
2. DESIGNATED AuTFIORITY
The franchising authority may -want to.designate a citizens committee, city ;
council subcommittee, or some other body to mat:c`recomnicndations_ regard
ing qualified applicants who should be considered to receive the franchise. Only
rarely may a mayor, city council, or board of commissioners delegate its legisla-
tive authority to
egislativcauthorityto such :,itappointed group.
B. Prepare An Application Fornl -
A detailed statement of the information wliich the franchise applicants will be
be developed and used by,each applicant. The more
required to furnish should .
specific tile requirements,' the easier the selection unit's task of evaluating the
application:
13
The application form must require information concerning the applicant's legal,
characterfinancial, technical, and other qualifications. Additionally, thefranchis-
ing authority must receive information relevant to the applicant's plans to provide
adequate and feasible construction arrangements. Tile 'application form should
reflect these and all other.qualifications required by the ordinance.
If the franchising authority has decided to place particular emphasis on some -
areas of the application; it should make that decision known to all applicants and
require explicit information relevant to those areas of emphasis.
C. - Develop Public Proceeding that Will Afford Due Process
file FCC requires that a franchising authority consider a franchisee's qualifica-
tions to operate the system in a "full, public proceeding" that will ensure that all '
interests in the community are carefully considered. To achieve fairness the coni -
mission has stated that the sclection_process under ordin;uy circurnstances should
include`.
1. PUBLICLY INVITED APPLICATIONS
2. APPLICATIONS PLACED ON PUBLIC FILES
3. NOTICE GIVEN TO THE COMMUNITY OF FILINGS
4. ' AN OPPORTUNITY FOR At.[- INTERESTED PERSONS TO TESTIFY
ON THE APPLICANT'S QUALIFICATIONS (In this respect the
commission has suggested that an appropriate moans of offering this
opportunity would be public hearing)
5. A PUBLIC REPORT 13Y THE FRANCHISING AUTI IORITY SETTING
FORTH THE= 13AS15 O1= ITS ACTION—
D.
C, After Franchisee has been Selected, Determine 11'hat Tasks Remain
-' Before System Construction Begins
1. WAIVER -
If any or the franchise requirements are inconsistent witli"the FCC's rules,
the franchising authority should ensure that the applicant' will seek a waiver
from the commission.
2. CERTIFICATION
The franchising authority should `niake certain that all the necessary steps for
FCC certification are completed and the application for certification is filed
promptly.-
Once
romptly. Once the franchising process is complete, many municipalities have considered
their responsibilities ended. Howcver, to ensure full use and development of a cable
system, the city must continue to participate.
V. SUPERVISION AND ENFORCEMENT PHASE
The franchising authority, should establish an efficient method of monitoring the
construction and operation of the cable system and enforcing tile ordinance and
franchise requirements, proceeding as-indicated-below..l-lowever theauthority
should be certain the issues considered here are first clearly specified in its ordi-
nance.
•
A. Determine Responsibility for Supervisi oil and Enforcement
* A regulatory body created for the express purpose of monitoring all facets of
the cable system -
14
• The city council or some establisheZ. d government conuitiltee
• The office of a city official, i.e., mayor, city manager, or new department
B. Develop Process fiu• Operation of file Supervisory Body

CONCLUSION
The above process, intended to be general in its description, rapidly becomes
complex when each of the issues that are raised is translated into specifics by local
" ,communities. In approaching the considerationofcable the franchising authority,
should attempt to establish its Own schedule for consideringlife many problems°
raised, rather than reacting to specific franchise applicants. Many issues will be
Politically and socially Sensitive. Federal regulations are `complex and continually
under mollification. New technology is constantly changing the state of the art. To
appropriately consider the dynamic and exciting future that cable promises, a com-
munity will want to focus on two goals:
A system that meets present needs, yet is flexible enough to take advantage of
future developments
Regulations that conform to federal requirements yet permit :I community
control: the development of the system so ilial it c.,in ;icconinu,
iodate changes in
technology.

I represent Mr. and Mrs. Larry Sgontz, 405 South Summit Street,
Mr. and Mrs. Emil Trott, 331 South Summit Street,' Mr. and Mrs. Leal
Hoffman, 1036 East _Court. Street; and 'Reverend and 'Mrs. Phil Shively,
416 South Governor Street, and certain'other,persons living in the
general neighborhood of Summit and Governor Streets in Iowa City,
Iowa. On behalf of these -individuals I am by this letter petitioning
the City Council of Iowa City to enact certain changes in the zoning
ordinance as provided by §8.10.32 of the City Code of Iowa city.
We hereby request that certain property generally described
as both sides of Court Street from Clark Street west to Summit Street
and a portion of Summit Street, -said property being more particularly-:.
described on the attached exhibit, be 'rezoned from'R3A to R2. We
further request that certain property generally described as both
sides of Governor Street -from the railroad tracks north to Burlington
Street;said, property being more -part rly described on the
attached exhibit, be rezoned from7 R31A to R3.
Generally, we are requesting these zoning changes in order to
provide a buffer between the present_-_R3A and R2 zones -in -this -area
and also to zone as R2 certain property on Summit and Court Streets
which we feel is more appropriate for R2 zoning uses. The property
which we are requesting be zoned R3 wou13 provide -a buffer between
the existing R3A and R2 zones and at -the --same time the requested
zoning change would recognize and permit the -full= range of -housing
possibilities from multiple to single family dwellings, while at the

would like -to point out ,that the 'area `in question is An historic and

RE: REVENUE SHARING
On October 19, 1972 we wrote you concerning the recently passed
"Revenue Sharing" legislation. In that letter, we noted that the
funds from the Federal government would soon be mailed; it nowt
has been related to us that the funds will not be mailed until
early December,1972.
This delay is caused basically because of unreliable income and
Population data which are built into -the, -revenue sharing formulas.
Additional time is needed to refine and correct the data.
-- Consequently; to again insure youthe opportunity to re-evaluate
-..
your budget requests for 1973.,. -we- suggest the following; -
Submit your budgets in the normal fashion as soon as
_possible` to the County Auditor. -
If you have already
uditor.-Ifyouhavealready submitted your budget, and have
subsequently re -submitted a budget -taking into
consideration' all or =a, portion of the revenue sharing
funds, your actions will be made known to us -by the
°-
County Auditor uponhissubmission of the budgets to
this office, and you need not. take any other action. - -
If you have already submitted your budget to the
County _Auditor, .and have. not-:re-submitteda change
due to revenue` sharing, you may still wish to re-
evaluate your budget after the final revenue -informa-
tion is available. IfYouthen desire to re-evaluate
your -budget -request for 1973 by reducing the "amount
due from taxes", with a corresponding increase in
"funds from other sources", please submit to this office
information. asquickly .as Possible after receiving your

Re: Iowa City Community School District
` Swimming.,Pool -Facility ,Bond -Election --
Dear`Tim
The Iowa City Community School Board has fixed December 11, 1972 for the
".
election on --the bondissue -'to finance thecons-Eruction'-of two swimming
pools, one at West and one at City.High. Your 'Parks and Recreation Commission'
has recommended to -the City Council that the City;` investigate sharing in
'
the cost ofoperation of the swimming pool `in exchange for joint use'of
those facilities with the citizens of Iowa City (as opposed to just the pupils
in the school district). --
It is the School Board's hope to be able -."to -work our an 'arrangement where
the swimming 'pool will be open to the public for swimming; at various times
so that the pool may receive maximum utilization; by all -persons in the 'com-
munity. Similar arrangements have,beenmade'in Ames, Iowa, and in other=
communities ;in the Midwest,'and seem to.work nicely. `The expenses are usually
-
- shared on a -.percentage ratio based':upon .the amount of time the pool is open
".
for use to thepublic as, opposed to the amount of:time it is limited to strictly
school use. The times when the pool ,is open.to general use for the City, we :'-
would ;propose thattheCity"provide life..guard,services. If the`Red'Cross
utilizes the pool fora period of time, we would ask them to provide these
services, etc. These details would need to be worked out, but what we; need
desperately, from 'the _City ,now is animmediate commitment to the general 'concept -
of 'sharing -the use and' -the expenses 'Tor '.the operation of the swimming pool.
Could ,.you please provide us with this indication by your next meeting? We
will -then be -able in our presentation of the,.bond issue to the general public
to advise them that:the'City;Council h`as`indicated. their -willingness to the
general concept of 'sharing in the utilization and operation costs of the pool.
This will, I- think;;make:the'bond issue much more palatable to in embers the
public..
Thank you -for -yourimmediateresponse.- Again, 'I -re-emphasize that an imme-

' INFORMAL COUNCIL SESSION -
` - OCTOBER 31, 1972
12:00 NOON
The Iowa City Council met in informal session at noononTuesday,
October 31, 1972, in the Conference Room of the Civic Center. Present:
Brandt, Connell, Czarnecki, White. Absent: Hickerson. Presiding: Mayor
Brandt.Others present: Honohan,Hayek, -Palmer, -Kraft, :Stolfus. Absent:-"
Wells.
Urban Renewal Attorney John Hayek requested discusalon of grievance
procedures for •relating to relocation claims;and_payments. In response
to the Councilmen's queries, Attorney Hayek noted that participation in
appeal before the Council could be limited to the aggrieved party and his
Lawyer, a time limit could be set, and outlined three choices for a
hearing; board; 1) Project Area Committee, 2)=Council appoint another
Board or Committee &''3) or the Council itself. It was suggested that
because the Council is the final appeal, the appeal` should: be somewhere
else. It was the concensus of the Council to keep :the s'Project Area
Committee in the process. Itwasalso suggested
ggeated that- the oral appeal
be limited to additions or criticism by the aggrieved, as all parties
would have access to Project Area Committee minutes of the-appea l.
Attorney Hayek' requested deferral of-the Resolution-in-today's meeting
which adopts grievance procedures.
Director of Community Development Dennis:-Kraft presented a Letter
from HUD requesting corrections to the Workable Program submitted in
April.- Discussion followed concerning CODES-Use of plastic pipe .(not
allowed by State Code), 1970:Fire Prevention and Mechanical Codes will
be certified; CODE ENFORCEMENT-Emphasis of inspection is of rental units,
limited resource of inspectors, who now inspect oncomplaint or on new
unit basis, 2-inspectors. No; comment =by Council. -Mayor-Brandt-suggested -
inclusion of 209 Housing 23 units. #4", an error, fire prevention was
included, will'. pull them out. #5, the entire-.'.unit'fs inspected. #6, -
inspection is on complaint or`need;basis, with,use of a`check list.``
PLANNING & PROGRAMMING-A, criteria is for Larger cities,'we do not have
problems they think we, have. C, the-Capitol Improvements Program is not
ready and we have no 'track record', because -.we.have'not had a CIP
before this. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY-We-have no problem. Director Kraft noted
the need to have an update of our IL year old Plan for the City _and ,asked
if the Council needed any additional information on the Court-Governor
rezoning matter, the Staff had recommended waiting for the study on the
area which will be ready in another month.-Councilman-White reported
that the Policy & Technical Committee '(Regional Planning) had passed
the Recreational & Industrial sections of the-Land Use Goals & Objectives,
and ,there was a- chance -.that the Land .Use Plan -would-be discussed or "
-
-adopted`by the :Regional :Planning Commission by December, a-stumbling,
block .being .Coralville'snorth and west annexation.
Councilman White asked the status of structure on the north side of Court
Street and was answered by the City Attorney as being under appeal, a stop
order
was issued, and if the appellant fails in Court, hecouldrequest
to tear down the old part of the house and rebuiLd, & the City Attorney
could approve. -_
.:-
Second, there are additional funds built into the legislation, so that
each year local _-governments will receive more federal dollars. Hence,
_- a decrease in tax effort (the result of reducing -.property taxes locally)
could be more than offset by additional appropriations by the federal
government each -year.
Third, there is a definite time lag in years in the effect (if any)
of local tax effort and -the apportionment of .federal revenue sharing
dollars. It would appear 'to work-in this manner 1970 Population,
Income, and -Tax .Data will be used as the basis of the distribution of -
1972 revenue dollars; 1971Population, Income, and Tax Data will be
used as basis of distribution of 1973 revenue.dollars; 1972 Population,
Income, and Tax Data will be used.as basis of distributionof1974 revenue
dollars;; -and 1973 Population, Income, `and Tax Data will be used as basis
of distribution_of 1975` revenue 'dollars. obviously, at this late date in
1972 no one can change this data.
Fourth, there is certainly not a direct` relationship' between` dollars of
local tax effort and dollars received in -revenue sharing. It will not be
a dollar for dollar exchange, oranythingapproaching that relationship!
Theincomefactor is only a part of the formula, -and its affect, as the
federal answer to the question relates will "not be a -factor in the decision
to lower property taxes".` That is because the Population, Income and Tax
Data :are not established -and cannot be changed you cannot affect a change
in your revenue sharing dollars coming.to you through 1974! Put another
way., any -policy _-decision ;-you make': concerning -local- taxeffortat-this -time
will probably not affect any revenue sharing dollars you will receive until
.---,(if -at all)-the;year 1975. -
It seems to that we could paraphrase this question to put it in another
light "Should we increase our local taxes in 1973 so that we can get more
revenue sharing dollars in 1975"?- The answer is obviously "no".`
It's like asking local property taxpayers -`to pay one dollar more in property
taxes in order to get something less than a_dollar in ,federal funds. I
doubt that this is, government efficiency at the local level! It would make
more sense to take equal federal dollars and use them either for needed
services at the local level, or to -reduce -•local taxes = but certainly not
td increase local taxes ,to get additional ° federal dollars!

the basement of the store. =There are numerous sidewalk
vaults-in'the-downtown business district and their
existance is provided '`for in:-the,Building Code. The

struction is started. 2�1
2. That the City Council can direct that the property GtiG�-P

will =oon become a major communications media in its ownaight tzit.I a
potential range of services that far exceed television as we know it. So great
is the potential of CATV, :hut :private firms ir_c.uding many large corporations
are gearing up to control the new industry. In Iowa City alone, some 14
different firms have expressed an interest in operating a CATV system here.

The city council can play s vital role In determining the natura of CATV (Li

it Ls crucial that the city understand the full lrrplications �)f all of the alternatives

va' :es and; the pattern of development just as other,uttlities such as viater,
;e,,ar,,, srd electricity do now. (S) The choice of channels to be carte by
the .system will influence the quality of program ring and the elitorial slant
on
the news that reaches the people of -this cpm unity. (E) :In the future it
may be possible to transact busI ess,-includ nc the sale of merchandise,
through CAPV systems. Immediate response to advertising is a real ppssibility.
CA,V policy thus may have an impact on the -control over the ittposition of
adver'.l sing and commerc;ui ventures on all of u:: in our living 'ooms.
Eased on the -le,
Issues, ,e would contend that r CATV systam :hat is o•ined
Ind operated by a private corporation would net be desirable_ Even if 51% of
the :tock in such a corporation were locally owned, the problems that we see
-:soul.° still exist becausc of inherent conflict between the private interest of
a c�rpor tion and the very public interests at stake in he polfcy Issues ouftined
abc,ve.First of all the primary concern of any corporation is to make a profit.
Prafitneeds would clears; affect subscriber rates, the terms for the use of
"scspbox" and other educational channels, the selection of channels, and the
que ,tion of using the living rooms of our clti .ers for commercial transaction3.
Eeyond this, however,; corporations have other interests that, would conflict
with a strict response to public need. Modern corporaUons :end to be dependent
onlarger corporations -- particularly major ban'.ing groups in order to stay
in business. It is likely that a locally owned corporation +^rould not scat' loeelly
owned for long --if the need for expansion requites financial anc. technical resources
beyond local means. Vida has been a pattern o: most industry in the U.S. today -
Particularly those that need great amoun`_a of caoital;and tcchrolorgy n order, tJ
r_ such as cable television. The threq major televi<ion networks for example,
g
are presently cont: oiled by a few major ranking group ii.e.tanking groui�s,
in +Lr. c ntroi most of our major corporations. 'thus) rJgramming, the slant
OIL *_he news, advertising policy etc: tends to reflect the nF•eds of corporate business
intcrssts. In the cable television industry its e:f;- national _firms have fenced
L operate vjith local partners. James M. Graves of hr, National Cable Television
As5�ciation said at a conference on CATV, "I think-it's.a fairl,r established
bL^mess technique in the cable television indu;try among the major companies,
to nave local partners. Phe method I've seen mosttypicallyused is where
local people Who have the political muscle obtain the franchi,es and receive
D carried interest in the'system --• about 20%`o; profits."
Ci:)le television has the Pater. -tial. -of of offsetting this tread, but it will no:: do e:o
If the same pattern repeats Itself. Even at the areseni- time the danger of
ccnfiicts befv�en business Interests and the p�ticy-considera apps -tie have
�uttined should be an immediate concern. One of the firms _h• t has filen

connections with outside business`interests seem: inevitable. `Thus a conflict
with the public interest in such matters as choice_ of channels and living room
mareting policies seem likewise Inevitable.
Alternatives
For these reasons we argue 'that the council should not grant franchises until
a full airing of the implications of various alternatives is complete.New
American Movement clearly recommends concentrating -off-alosrnatives thet would
_rive control over policy to the people of Iowa City. To us tt:e most direct
form of control would be a subscriber cooperaiive. The advantage of the
cooperative form is that every member has one vote o:i Policy matters irregard!ess
of their financia! interests In the corporation. This would make it impossible for
control to ,311p outside of the community as_'wculd be ,:he ansa or
any other
corporate form. The greatest difficulty we:forasee would be the initial
canitalixation required. Whether a community coopera-tive! could secure the
needed spans is unclear to us. However, this could be explored.__- Would it
Lie possible for the city -o lend their -credit to such -a venture? Or wou;d our
local bankers be sufflclently publicaliy minden to.grantaoan, directly? These
ace ruestionS yet to be answered.`
The other possibility is the creation of a special district wit financial powers
tc be created for the purpose of ovining and orerating CATV. A special district
or authority would act as aseparate government with its offioiais elected by
the community. ,There Is precedent for such special purpose governments
al over the country although' we don't know of any; that opere.te CATV. T -le
advantages would be directcommunitycontrol without addinc, to the work of
the city council. It might also be easier for citizens to Iocus their attention
on CATV issues if they were not mired up wilt other t:ity business. IAe :rank17
are not sure what it -would take legally to do leis in T.)wa un(er existing ;ta e
s� :;utes. Even if special legislation is requited, 'it flay well be worth the
ef`ort.
A "bird variation of public control is to have "lie city .-eke ovar cable television

Statement from Action
fora Better Community concerning Cable TV
Cable television
can be a force that unites the community
and helps to develop
individual and group potentials. Conversely,
it has the potential
for harm through misuse-or exploitation.
Before making'a
decision of such far-reaching_ import, every
personmusthave the
opportunity to study all aspects of the
question through a series
of discussions, debates,: and lectures.
ABC will endeavor to
accomplish these ends through cooperation
with other interested groups in Iowa City.
We feel that it
is imperative for the City Council to
postpone the referendum - as it is within their power to`do - -
untilrtherf, has been
adequate opportunity for thorough study
and discussion of all aspects of cable television.

An analysis of the effectiveness -of methods used .by the
circulation department to obtain the; return of over -due
was - made in October. :After tabulating -the -
-materials
returns in relation tolthe methods,generating such re-.-
-personal�,telephon
turns, it was -found. that a e call to
the -borrower concerning'the materials over -due was the
-
most ef fective. Listed- below; ar e, the methods -currently
beinq-used by the -:circulation department to generate
the return -of over -due materials:
Method Percentage of Return
1. Telephone call 30.008:
2. Warning letter- 10.50%
3. Certifkedletter 25.008
4. Letter from CityAttorney. 2.25%
of -over -due items returned 67.758
-
NOTE; Each procedural step as :.above :does produce
results, but note that eachsuccessive step
_
becomes: less effective;' -except f or the cer
tified letter.: The::results producedby the
certified letter are very.encouraging.

The number of books processed through -this department
dropped substantially in October due to lightt-purchasing
of adult materials since Aug us t - 1.` Several large gifts,
a backlog of records to and -several -going--
projects to increasethe efficiency,and accuracy of the
department hasmorethan taken up the'slack..
The Periodical Use.Study was beaun, October..15 and will
continue for 2 months. Use of magazines in the Reading
Room, through Clrculation7and-by -,request -from the back-
files in the basement is being tabulated. Plans for the
new Serials.Control System-is.going forward slowly and is
now waiting for atypist to 'get the basic records set up.
Improved procedures for monitoring the adult materials
expenditures have beenJnitiated. This will help the
selection staffkeeptabs on what they are spending in
various areas as the budget year progresses. A record
circulation rate and a..'wider-rancre of patron demand com-
bined with a higher average -book cosi and a: smaller.. bud-
get for adult materials makes selection of materials an
increasingly difficult task.,

The-OCtober-4 Consumer Complaint Panel drew a -small but
intensely troubled -audience -of -about 24; people. =.-Although
many=agencies deal with ;thisproblrm; it -became obvious
-
that there isaneed -for a`centralzed-"ombudsman"-for the'-'
consumer -to -turn to for information and help.
How Do We Stand?
The summer, _1972, issue of RQ contained an article about.a
survey of reference services—made by'the University of Georgia's
department of. `:library `education in;the Metropolitan Atlanta
Area. One -hundred and -eight --libraries were sampled. The
assumption was thatthe.'Atlanta area is 'representative of the
-
country as "a 'whole in 'reference services.
=
The study found that nearly two - 'thirds of the questioners were
'
doing-so-in'-connection`with:some'organized learning 'activity :,
and that two-thirds of -:the -libraries giving reference service
were academic. Eighty-one percent of the users were twenty-
five years old orunder and only eight percent over -forty.
Only sic percent of the libraries offered any public informa-r
tion services in consumer purchasing, two_:percent in home
building and buying and one percent= -in taxes,areas of concen-
tration in IowaCity.
Only college' and loarge 'publiclibrary services are open more
than fifty hours per week, while -more than holf of the libraries
are open .less than"forty._hours;per week. 'This compares, to
:
-ICPL's=61-hours-in-.them
sumer;' 65 in the winter.`:
'
The heads of reference services in the Atlanta area work only
8 to `4, -five-days perweek. Few_reference`services are avail-
able in later afternoon,; evening and week -end hours. ,ICPL
-
has professional reference service available whenever the
library is open (the one exception being Saturday lunch hour) -
and for one to two hours before opening on five days. '

City of Iowa City,
-
tear Honorable Mayor & City Council,
(j
On September9thI, wrote the zoning and planning commission
r
requesting, desire to rezone my,proper.ty at�2920 Muscatine Avenue
from R1II to -R2 thinking that would entitle me to"he 61igible.for
-
building a doctor or dental office on my_.lot. I -had <been misinformed
_..._
on this, which was my_
:mistake
I sent in my $55.00 'and was told I;would get a refund to that
amount. I received a check for'$30.00,.$25.00=having beon withheld
for `;publication. I saw no'_publication in any.,paper and,no sign was
placed on my property.
Since"I informed -the Co mmiss ionof my mistake immediately, I

Ray S. Wells, City Manager
From:..
Ralph E. Speer, Jr., Director of Public Works
Subject:
Proposed Street ConstructionProgramto be Submitted to the Iowa State
Highway Commission
Attached to this Memorandum is a copy of -the Street Construction
Program for.the City of Iowa City for 1973, 1974 -and 1975 which
we are proposing to submit to the Iowa Highway Commission. Under
Section 312.'12 -of- the State Code of Iowa 1971,,a.city having -a
population greater than 5,000 must,prepare- and submit:to-the
Highway,Commission not later than December 10 of each year.a pro
gram of street construction and reconstruction -recon a for both the arterial
street system and the local street'system.
I would like to point out that the only projects which are to be
included in this -report arethose_that -pertain --tothe construction
or, -reconstruction of streets and uridges. 'Let me emphasize that while
•
:-
it is necessary for the -City to4submit the report to the Highway
Commission each -year, changes may be made-intheproposed program.
In other words, the projects included in'this report do not have to
be completed if, for some reason, the City Council should decide
otherwise. The projects which we have -listed in the attached report
are -consistent with those street projects which -were included in the,
5 -Year Capital Improvement Programprepared.:in October 1972.
As I mentioned to you previously, L wouldhope that wecould get
concurrence fromthe City, Council at their meeting on December.5,
1972, as to which projectsare to be carried out during 1973. Since
all -of the projects except Item No 4,.are practically completed through
the final design stage I:would be most;hopefu l of -starting the necessary
legal proceedings -and holding public hearings on the projects which
I
we intend to carry out'starting___
early in Januarj of 1973.
As you are well aware, in t e past the Department .of Public Works
h
has been criticized for'n6t* starting projects 'soon enough -to -avoid
disruption particularly'during the Fall months. It would be my hope
that the City Council,would-indicate-to us which projects they
definitely wish to proceed with so.that, we can receive bids and let
contracts early in,1973.
As I mentioned earlier in,this Memorandum, this report must be sub -
mitred to theIowa Highway Commission not.l.ater.than December 10, 1972.
Therefore, it will necesSary,-for-the City:Council-to approve this -
-
-be .
Three -Year Street Construction:Program at their.December 5, 1972,

rs
December -18,-1972
Iowa City government is subject to extensive federal nondiscrimination"
legislation and regulations. -There are three most germane to the topic
under consideration.
FIRST: The Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972, Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended March 24, 1972." Sec. 703(a) states it
shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer:
"To limit, segregate, or classify his employees or applicants for
employment in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any
individualof employment opportunities' or otherwise adversely
affect his status as an employee, because of suchsindividual's
race, color, religion, sex or national origin."
As amended this year, civil actions alleging` discrimination of "pattern"
or " practice" _types are allowable under this law 'against ,governments, govern-
mental agencies and political subdivisions thereof. This includes seeking
injunctiverelief, enjoining the respondent from engaging in such unlawful
employment` practices; ordering of appropriate affirmative actions; and,
seeking`backpay liability forall members of''the '"affected class" for two
years from thefilingof the charge. :The prevailing party 1n such a suit
is also allowed "reasonable attorney's fees as part of the costs."
SECOND: Executive Order 11246 as amended by Executive Order 11375.
Stipulating the same nondiscrimination 'guidelines 'as the above Act, these
executive orders are applicable to federal contractors in.receipt of
federal contracts in excess of $50,000 yearly. If investigations'sub-
stantiate allegations of discrimination, these Orders allow a contract to "
be "cancelled, terminated or suspended in whole or in part" with the
contractor being declared ineligible for further governmental contracts.
THIRD: The Administrative guidelines issued by the EEOC and the OFCC.`- -:
Of these, the most pertinent is "Proposed Employee Testing and Other Selection
Procedures," (Federal Register, April 21,`1971, Vol._36, No. 77.) yIn these
guidelines the term "test" covers "standardized techniques of assessing
job suitability" including personal history and background requirements which are
specifically used as a basis for qualifying or disqualifying applicants or
employees and specific educational or work history requirements.
Theseguidelinesrequire employers to have evidence of the "test's"
validity, "demonstrating that the test is, predictive of or significantly
correlated with important elements of -work behavior which comprise or are
relevant to the job or jobs." A request for exemption to this guideline
may be directed to the Department of Labor.
2:
Minimally, THE POSITION.CLASSIFICATION AND PAY PLAN, Griffenhagen-Kroeger,
Inc., should reflect an awareness of the above requirements of federal law.
That is, the schema outlined in the 'report should be so clear as to allow`
no construction of it as an attempt to="limit,-.'segregate _-or--classify"
employees_ which would "deprive or tend to deprive' any individual of
employment opportunities on any discriminatory criteria.Further, ,the
,Griffenhagen-Kroeger-plari should positively`reflect the city's attempt
to comply with AffirmativeActionrequirements in Revised Order 4 and the
above outlined legislation._ --
Unfortunately, a preliminary, -review -reveals the Griffenhagen-Kroeger report --
-meets none of these expectations. On the contrary, it may be contended that
implementation of the document's recommendations would, place the city in a_
situation of legal jeopardy,` opening the door to:complex,._expensive and -
- tortuous sex discrimination litigation.
What evidence exists for.this concern? We did not find in the
classification scheme much "blatant" discriminatory language; i.e., jobs _
explicitly labeled male or female.' The closest analogy, here was that
certain job titles should be changed from "man" to neuter designations of
person, officer, assistant, etc. - -
The problem is more subtle but no less severe.__
Systemic sex discrimination means a "pattern" of invidious, but not
necessarily intentional, practices of de facto segregation of jobs along
sex lines. It is usually maintained because of the short -run economic
advantage to the employer:
There are two problems with the Griffenhagen-Kroeger scheme; the first
one involves a situation_of -systemic discrimination.
_- ALLEGATION 1: Within the report, a CLASS is defined as a group of
positions (or one position) that:
a. -have similar duties and responsibilities
b. require like qualifications, and
c. can be equitably compensated, by the same salary range.
AS PRESENTLY DESIGNED THE POSITION CLASSIFICATION;AND.PAY -PLAN
RELEGATES WOMEN TO THE LOWEST RANGE CLASSES; CREATES CLASSES WHICH WILL BE
DE FACTO DOMINATED BY WOMEN: AND, PLACES FFMALE DOMINATED POSITIONS IN
CLASSES WITH LOWER -QUALIFIED MALE -DOMINATED POSITIONS.
Because women are the majority, sometimes exclusive members in certain
categories of low ranges, salaries applying only to those categories are, in
effect, discriminatory. Comparisons of women and men within the same, class
do not touch on classes filled exclusively, or almost exclusively, with women.
3.
(Exhibit 1 and pages 11-12 of the Griffenhagen-Kroeger, Inc. report
should be referred to for the following examples to be understood)-
CASE 1: Classes 8, 9, 10 and 11'will -be all women. (N=50). _These are the
five lowest salaried classes but not the -positions requiring the least effort,
skill or responsibility. For example, a clerk (female -dominated position)
with a high school education will start at $102 less a'month 'than either a custodian
or refuse collector (male -dominated position) with an eighth grade education.
Arguments about marketing preference, labor availability, non -intent
of the employer to discriminate and the theoreticalavailability of the
position to men and women are immaterial to the prima facie statistical.
evidence if de facto these lowest -paying positions are female -dominated.
CASE 2: in class 13 there are 9 positions. According to the Griffenhagen-
Kroeger criteria these must have similar duties and responsibilities, require
- like qualifications, and be equitably compensated by the same salary range.
Yet the three female -dominated positions _(Senior Typist -Clerk (HS/2);
Senior Clerk-(HS/3), and Library Assistant (2c/2))_require much higher
qualifications than the six male -dominated positions_- (Custodian (8gr);
Security Guard -(HS); -Laborer (8 gr.); Landfill -Attendant (8 gr.);
Equipment Serviceman (sic) (8gr/1); Refuse Collector (8 gr).)
The expectation that this situation of female -dominated and male -dominated
classes will be entrenched through implementation of the Griffenhagen-Kroeber
schema is supported by the following information.
As of Spring, 1972, Iowa City _employed about 332 people: 61 women
and 271 men. = The median range of women's range (rank) was 9, that `of men, 17.
The median salary of women was $5,200, for men, $7,728. The range of women's
salaries was $3,912-$9,864. The range of men's salaries was $4,992- -
$18,240.
Presently, ranges 3,6 and 7 are _all female -dominated. These are the
lowest salaried ranges in the city. -
;Range 8 has one male and one female.
Range 9 has 11 females; one male.
Range 10 has two males only.
Ranges 11 through 18 are the male -dominated ranges, with a total of
approximately Z9 women and 162 men.;_Therefore, the present situation reveals
the de facto segregation of jobs along sex lines. -This situation has inherent
in it all the legal liabilities outlined earlier. It was hoped by many that
the position classification schema would alleviate this situation. However,
the new classification would simply perpetuate the situation, in fact more
firmly entrench it, and thus might= -well encourage "frustration" ld; igation.
ALLEGATION 2: Within the Griffenhagen-Kroeger plan a POSITION is
defined as a 'group of currently assigned duties and responsibilities requiring
the full or part-time employment of one person. A position may be occupied
or vacant.,"

Employment standards are specified for each position in the plan.

Hopefully, this brief presentation has alertedyou to the distinct
possibility that Iowa City,has a problem. It is not anticipated that the
data contained herein are sufficient to lead to the complete acceptance
of the outlined allegations.`'
However, it is expected that the presentation has suggested that the
data does lead to _take seriously the following contingencies:
1. the implementation of the unmodified Griffenhagen-Kroeger lleging athemiac would
increase the likelihood of litigation against the,:citobaclassifying and
discrimination against women through sex -segregated j

3. the implementation of the Griffenhagen-Kroeger schema would

Iowa City government issubject --to extensive federal nondiscrimination
legislation and regulations. There are three most germane to the topic
under consideration.
FIRST: The Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972, Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended March 24,_1972._-Sec._703(a) states it
shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer:
"To -limit,' -segregate, or classify his -employees or applicants for
employment in any way which would deprive or_:tend to deprive any
individual of employment opportunities.or otherwise adversely
- affect his status; as an employee, because of .such individual's
race, color, religion,, sex or national origin."
As amended this year, civil actions alleging -discrimination of "pattern"
or "practice" typesare allowable under this law against governments, govern-
mental agencies and political subdivisions thereof. This includesseeking'
injunctive relief, enjoining the respondent from engaging in such unlawful
=employment; practices; ordering of appropriate affirmative actions; and,
seeking backpay-liability for all members of the "affected class" for two
years from the filing of the charge. The prevailing, party in such a suit
is also allowed "reasonable attorney's fees as part; of the costs."
SECOND: Executive Order 11246 as amended by Executive Order 11375.
Stipulating the same nondiscrimination guidelines as the above Act, these
executive orders are applicable to federal contractors in receipt of
federal' contracts do excess of $50,000 yearly. If investigations sub-
stantiate allegations of discrimination, these Orders allow a contract to
be "cancelled, terminated or suspended in whole or in.part" with the

THIRD: The Administrative guidelines issued by_the EEOC and the OFCC.
Of these, the most pertinent is "Proposed -Employee= Testing -and 'Other Selection
Procedures," '(Federal Register, April 21,`1971, Vol. 36, No. 77.) In these -
„guidelines the term "test" covers "standardized techniques of assessing
job suitability", including personal history, and background requirements which are
specifically used as a basis for qualifying or disqualifying applicants or
employees and specific educational or work history requirements.
These guidelines' require employers to have evidence of the "test's"
validity, "demonstrating that the test is predictive of or significantly
correlated with important elements of:work behavior 'which comprise or are
relevant to the job or jobs." A request forexemptionto this guideline
may be directed to the Department of labor.

Minimally, THE POSITION CLASSIFICATION - AND PAY PLAN Griffenhagen-Kroeger,
Inc., should reflect an awareness of the above requirements of federal law.
That is, the schema outlined in the report should be so clear as to allow
no construction of it as an attempt to "limit, segregate or classify"
employees which would "deprive or tend to deprive" any individual of
employment opportunities on any discriminatory criteria. Further, the.
Griffenhagen=Kroeger plan, should positively reflect the city's attempt
to comply with Affirmative Action requirements in Revised Order 4 and the
above outlined legislation.
Unfortunately, a preliminary review reveals the Griffenhagen-Kroeger"report
rmeets none of these expectat'_ons. On the contrary, it may becontendedthat
implementation of the document's recommendations would place the city in a
situation of legal jeopardy, opening the door to complex, expensive and
tortuous sex discrimination litigation.
What evidence exists for this concern? We did not find in the
classification scheme much."blatant' discriminatory language; i.e., jobs
explicitly labeled male or female. The closest analogy here was that
certain job titles should be changed' from "man" to neuter designations of
person, officer, assistant, etc.
The problem is more subtle but no less severe.
Systemic .sex discrimination means a "pattern" of invidious, but not
-necessarily intentional, practices of de facto segregation of jabs along
sex lines. Itis -usually --maintained -`-because of the short -run economic
advantage to the employer.
There are two problems with the Griffenhagen-Kroeger scheme; the, first
one involves a situation of; systemic discrimination.
ALLEGATION 1: Within the report, a CLASS is defined as a group of
positions (or one position) that:
a. have similar, duties and responsibilities
b. require like qualifications, and
c. can -be equitably compensated by the same salary range.
AS PRESENTLY DESIGNED THE POSITION CLASSIFICATION AND PAY PLAa'4
RELEGATES WOMEN TO THE LOWEST RANGE -CLASSES; CREATES CLASSES WHICH WILL BE
DE FACTO DOMINATED BY WOMEN: AND, PLACES FEMALE DOMINATED POSITIONS IN
- CLASSES WITH LOWER -QUALIFIED MALE -DOMINATED POSITIONS.
Because women are the majority, sometimes exclusive members in certain
categories of ,low ranges, salaries applying only to those categories are, in
effect, discriminatory. Comparisons of women and men within the same class
do not touch onclassesfilled exclusively, or almost exclusively, with women.
g =
3.
(Exhibit l and pages 11-12 of the Griffenhagen-Kroeger, Inc. report
should be referred to for the following; examples to be understood)
CASE 1: "Classes 8, 9, 10 and -11 will be,all women. (N=50). These are the
five lowest salaried classes but not the positions requiring the least effort,
skill or responsibility. For example, a clerk (female, dominated position)
with a high school educationwillstart at $102 less a month than either a custodian
- or refuse collector (male -dominated position) with an eighth grade education.
-Arguments about marketing preference, labor availability, non -intent r
of the, employer to discriminate and the theoretical availability, of the
position to men and women are immaterial to the prima faciestatistical .
evidence if de facto these lowest -paying positions:arefemale-dominated.
CASE 2: In class 13 there are 9 positions. According to the Griffenhagen-
Kroeger criteria these` must` have similar duties and responsibilities, require
like qualifications, and be equitably compensated by the same salary range.
Yet the three female -dominated positions (Senior Typist -Clerk (HS/2);
Senior Clerk (HS/3), and Library Assistant (2c/2)) require much higher
qualifications than the six -male positions (Custodian (8gr);
Security Guard (HS) Laborer (8 gr.); -Landfill Attendant (8 gr.)
Equipment Serviceman (sic):(8gr/1); Refuse Collector (8 gr):)
The expectation that this situation of female -dominated and male -dominated
classes will be entrenched_through_implementation of the Griffenhagen-Kroeber
schema is supported by the following information.
As of Spring, 1972, Iowa City employed about 332 people: 61 women
and 271 men. The median range of women's range (rank) -was 9, that of men, 17. --
The median salary of women was $5,200, for men, $7,,728. The range of women's
salaries was $3,912-$9,864. The range of men's salaries was $4,992-
$18,240.
Presently, ranges 3,6 and 7 are all female -dominated. These are the
lowest salaried ranges in the city.
Range_8 has one male and one female.
Range 9 has 11 females; one male.-
Range
ale. Range 10 has two males only.
of
Ranges 11 through 18 are the male -dominated ranges, with a,ae
veals

in it all the legal liabilities outlined earlier. It was _hoped by, many that
the position classification schema would- alleviate this situation. However,
the new classification wouldsimply perpetuate the situation, in fact more
firmly entrench it, and thus Imight well encourage "frustration" ldtigation.
ALLEGATION 2: Within the Griffenhagen-Kroeger plan a; POSITION is
defined as a " group of currently assigned duties and responsibilities requiring
- the full or part-time; employment of one person. A position may be occupied
or vacant."
4.
Employment standards are specified for each position in the plan.
The contention here is that 'these employment standards are non -validated.
"tests', as defined in the legislation previously abstracted, and in the
absence of any data "showing they, are job-related, constitute an invalid
measure which will deprive or tend to deprive affected classes from access
to these jobs.
CASE 1: Administrative Assistant (range; 26) requires "any combination
equivalent. to graduation from college in business or public administration
oadministrative experience in a public
r a related field and one year of administrat
jurisdiction." This position is a logical end-point for members of the
female -dominated secretary jobs, few of whom would have the chance to obtain
"official "'employment standards. Predictably,_ the highest female
these -
theseted secretarial job (Secretary to the City Manager) is a range 18 and
dominastipulates only "any equivalent to graduation from high school and four years
of increasingly responsible experience in, secretarial: and clerical work."
The city has no validation studies which would adequately or even, inadequately
demonstrate the reliability of these employment standards or their legitimacy
as job-relatedcriteria.
CASE 2: The female -dominated Duplicating Machine Operator position
(range 11) calls for "any ccmbination equivalent to graduation from high
school and one year of experience in the operation of offset or direct
process duplicating machines." Yet, the male -dominated Heavy
Equipment Operator (range 18) -calls for "any_ combination equivalent to
completion of eighth grade and three years of experience in the operation
of motorized equipment, including some experience on heavy equip
en." This
issimplyone example ;among -many -where the,:employment standards for
female -dominated positions are higher than the employment standards for
lower ranked male -dominated positions.
Hopefully, this brief presentation hae alerted you to the distinct
possibility that Iowa City has a problem. It is not; anticipated that the
data contained herein are sufficient to lead to the complete acceptance
of the outlined allegations.
However, it is expected that the presentation has suggested that the
data does lead to take seriously the following=contingencies:
1. the implementation of the unmodified Griffenhagen-Kroeger schema would
increase the likelihood of litigation against the `city alleging systemic
discrimination against women through sex-segregated=job,-classifying and
invalid and nonvalidated employment standards.
2.- that implementation of the Griffenhagen-Kroeger schemawould tend
to maintain women in the lowest paying jobs of the city,
perpetuating
present inferior economic positionvis-a-vismale employees;
3. the implementation of the Griffenhagen-Kroeger,schema would
tend to frustrate the avowed purposes of the city's.affirmative action
program.

talk with the Department -Heads. He also suggested reading a
copy of thd_budget and financial report to become better
acquainted with City functions.
Mr. ,Cor rigan asked to what extent the -Committee should be concerned
with the environment around Iowa City. Jay stated that.there
were certain extraterritorialypowers that the Committeeshould
be aware of,;and.that jurisdiction does not end at the City
limits.
It was requested that reports of the boards and commissions;
copies of the annual reports,budget report for 1972 and 1971`
Financial Report: be made available to the Committee.
Following more discussion, Clayton stressed -that the Committee
should have 'an -informational background but also needed to think
in terms of things to be considered and the legal terms under
which they operate.
Mr. Meardon then introduced Mr. Oakes, a professional consultant
_. for Charter groups. Mr. Oakes_gave_a report on making up
charters. -
Mr. Oakes passed out several sample charters<for the group to
look at. Some charters are long and'others'are`fairly short. But
whichever way it should take into consideration the type of town,
and the practices in order to build one to suit the city.
Mr. Meardon a.3ked Mr. Oakes what_ his fee was and he advised $30
per hour and out of the
pocket expenses. (The Committee would
not have to pay for traveling time-. -The air fare from -Cedar,
Rapids to Grand Rapids, Michigan, is -$68 for a round trip. The
cost could run from $5,000 to $10,000.
It was suggested that someone work with Bill on obtaining legal
counsel:
It was -stated that the July 1, 1974 date was the date the state
set that if charters were not in effect at that time then all
cities would operate under state law. The six-month target date
was set by resolution by the Iowa -City. City Council to give the
committee a guide -in setting up the document.
Mr._ Ringgenberg advised that Harry Smith could attend a meeting
(any one the Committee suggested) and give them a report on the
outline on which he has been working Mr.. Ringgenberg'was asked
to bring this report to the next meeting so the Committee could
read over it and then ask Harry: any questions they, might have.
It was moved and seconded that the Committee adjourn. The motion

To the Honorable Mayor ana Memberc oftheCity Council of Iowa City, Iowa:
- I note from-thePess_Citizen thin the City Conference board ir; coon to
meet for the purppee of awardin; a contract to an appraisal film' to revalue,_
for tax 'purposes, all residential real estate in,Iowa City. 1 understand
LrjCrb is -some -..question az to whether`chis- contract ..r•houla be awarded to the -
lowect bidder. The experience Iowa City has inljy2 with`an outside appraisal'
firm: should be a warnin;.-:that awarding rsuch -a contrLct Lo The-loi,ust-bidder
can be a serious mistake if the second lowest bidder is much better qualified.
A -bad revcauation is expensive a.t any price and worse thn.n no revaluation at all'
The low bidder for the 1952 revaluation was the J. 1.;. Cleminshaw Company.
I was at the meetin_ when the bide were turned in, and I recall -that -the
second lo%e:t bidder told the members of the-Conrerence board that it they
would Co to Muscatine and -look at the work the Cleminshaw firm hud done in
that-city,--h-e- was conrident that they would not aware the contract to that
firm.- but apparently none of our officials ".7c)"to:Muscatine to,look, _and be
cause Cleminchaws wurn the low bidders, they were t�ven the contract.
In due Lime the Cluminshaw supervisor came, brinCin;. helpers with him,
many of whom, al._they-started to- work, -E;ave-the imprension that this might' -
00Their -first experience working withreal estate. AS itTurnedout, the --
Cleminehaw firm apparently useu,The'Iowa -Uity project as an appraisal training
6chool so that the rollowinC year Theywouldhave experienced men to work in
The larger communities. - The contract with Cleminsha s crve the taxing bouiles the richt to send
in a "watch-dot•':,committee,-compo+:ed of members. or The local. Real.hazate -
board, to check on Thu work as it progressed:`. 1 vEx a member of that
committee. The -very first time we checked on Cleminshur:: work w•c could see
that something• was very wronC. ':Their men were putting down a lot of riwures
on new earrlr,, but There was-littie indication that -they were doing-. much real
appraising. Many valuations that 'had been unproportionatelr high were still
unproportionately hi -h; and it was the same with many of the unproportionately
low_ assessments. besides, they had some real masterpieces of inequity that
were all their own.0ur committee spent mangy hours cljeckin4: the completed cards
in different parts a r the Citi, and we keptthetaxing bodies informed,xhich ..
wan ail we couad do.
I don't rememberwhen the-i.ork was scheduled for com.letion, but it may
have been around the first or Septemoer. However, it wasn't_ completed until
about the middleoxJanuary. Our committee did not::approve.' the revaluation'
beor.use w•: felt `thatr.it- would -not bring about'tay equalization. l don't know
where The -board of Supeivieors stood, at- far an I recall, they didn' t
indicate, but it theSchool board and tne-Council coujd have Cflone so without
making matters worse, they would_ not have accepted the appraisal. But at that
late date, arter the asser.r.or's field men hadalready sat around for two weeks
waiting• until they could begin assessint, thclre was`notbine the officials
could do except to complain to Cleminahaws. ;ind Mr_._ Cleminshaw himr('.lr had
the nerve to tell the Council What Iowa'City 'did rot get a ;ooa revaluation`
becaure iney hadnit paid enough to cez.one -- but they did receive the entire
amount or their bid. ct,i4,VY

Dear Mr. Karsh:
�j
.�• Subjects_. Amendment to the State Plumbing Code, Section 135.11(8)
i
Review of subject amendment to the Iowa State Plumbing Code
indicates that Iowa cities would be able to meet ITUD's3 code adoption
policy requirements in developing adequate plumbing code..,_t,•hile the
- method of achieving an acceptable plumbing code is cumbersome, this - -
oathod would permit HUD to accept -the provisions of this coda as
amended by the Uniform`Plunbing Code. This is less than desirable;
however, it will allow the cities to qualify for Workable Program
Certification.
Hopefully, when the State Building Code is ready for adoption, all_<
"
counties. cities and towns will cdopt`the State Building Code vlth—
out restrictions. It is our understanding that the Uniform Plumbing
?
- Code will be a component of the :Statz _Sni td,,., r.-•+_. P._.:_
actiuu is taken, the State Nealt�h Departrent should provide the
r
cities with copies of the necessary action to render the Stnte plumbing

Iowa City Planning & Zoning
Commission
December 14, 1972
SUBJECT: Rezoning Request by Plum Grove
-- Acres Inc. -for rezoning from
RIA to CH-(vic. due: east of
Westinghouse Learning Corp.,
south of corporate -limits — Iowa City Newport Twp. and west of ROW
of: Highway A1.
STAFF
ANALYSIS: - The parcel request for rezoning
- - is currently undeveloped, covered:
with scrub brush and saplings
and -includes an -area of approxi-,
mately
nd includes`an-area-ofapproxi-
mately 2.9 acres. 'Land to the west is zoned CH; owned by Westinghouse
and though vacant has been seeded, landscaped and planted. The West-
in Corporation should be lauded for this exemplary effort to
provide for environmental beautification and conservation.Land
-
to the east is devoted to agriculture; and zoned R1A'while land to
the southeast is -zoned CH, and includes the DX -Highlander complex.
Land to the 'extreme south is zoned R1A and occupied by the Highway
1-I-80 interchange. Landtothe north is beyond the corporate
limits (Newport Township is zoned Al (agricultural) and is utilized
for feed corn planting. The topography of the request area is;a-
typical in that it is lower than all other adjacent parcels. A
branch ofRapidcreek traverses the parcel, crosses_ Highway 1
(culvert) and drains` -eastward along the Jones -Stevens Tract. A
flood plain probably lies _ajacent to the tributary stream and could
perhaps pose problems in -the course of'subsequent development.
Additionally, sanitary_ sewage,_ because of this depression, would
require pumping to carry the effluent from theparcelto the
municipal lagoon which services the Westinghouse facility., These
considerations, -of course, are related to potential platting
considerations,-refore should not be considered as primary criteria
problems and he
for the evaluation of this rezoning request.
The Westinghouse Corporation, through counsel-, objects to this
rezoning. -Their counsel contends that the utilization of this
"'smaller" parcel-for.a commercial use such as a gas station, soft
`goods or hardware store or`.indeed any comparable "roadside"
commercial use would_... "detract greatly from thecharacterof -
this area" (interchange complex of the.Highlander - ACT - Westing-
house facilities) which " ... provides some of -the best architecturally
designed buildings in our community. Counsel for the Westinghouse
Corporation expands his argumentation' by stating that "Any develop-
mental useof this
2.9 acre tract ;will detract greatly from the
character of this -area and will have a depressing effect on the
•value of his client's property. Lastly; counsel for --Westinghouse
directs the attention of Commission -members to their collective
concern and subsequent recommendation that the Westinghouse Corporation
subsequent to construction'of its -facility (Spring 1970) not "sell
Off" portions of their remaining coimmercial land for any additional
privatecommercial development" (See attached -Chronology - Westinghouse'
Learning Corporation, P 6'Z, November 25, 1969). We mightcnote'that
Westinghouse has unsuccessfully negotiated _with the _request area's
owner ,in an attempt to acquire"title 'to the 'parcel in question.
Parenthetically we might -.add that extensive negotiations ensued
between the municipality;,and the Westinghouse'Corporation before
rezoning and platting problems were.resolved.,. A'chronology of
these negotiations is-included`for Commissioner's-
review.'-
For our part, the Staff must concur that use -development of the
Highway 1-I-80 interchange is exemplary and indeed epitomizes the
ideal in clean, functional, and architecturally pleasing, design
and landscape amenities. Absent --are the huge; garish signs and
dreary, sterile;_truck-stops and service'stations which disfigure
many of the interchanges in'the'Interstate;'system. --We wonder if
commercial development of this request, area would constitute a
"nuisance within the context of common law." In a more liberal
sense, might -any proposed commercial development constitute a
danger or hazard to the "common.welfare:and overall good of the
community." We'would'also submit`to.the 'contrary, that the
property owner is guaranteedby statutorylaw and implementing
zoning ordinances the right of_"reasonabe'development of his
-
property." Would,.therefore, denial of a "reasonable" development
of petitioner's -property be construed as -arbitrary, capricious
and without standing.' The Staff believes' that 4ts.recommendation,
with the above -considerations in mind, can only be forthcoming
upon determination of the petitioner's specific proposed use of
the rezone area.
Counsel for the WestinghouseCorporationpreviously, alluded to
the tacit agreement of -"understanding" -between the Commission and
the corporation< -in which the corporationrporation pledged their intention'
0 -acre tract to developersforprivate-commercial
sell portions of their 50 -acre commercial development. The Staff is appreciative of the
fine way in which the corporation has honored its obligation and
developed its present facility. Nonetheless, .we. need =not remind
counsel for Westinghouse that this obligation cannot be expected
to be honored by adjacent --property owners;_as a matter of course.
The most that the Commission -and -Staff could do in the instance
of this rezoning request would be "persuade" or "encourage" the
petitioner 'to -abandon commercial development of this area in favor
of a more "compatible" use
STAFF
RECOMMENDATION: - -- Staff recommends deferral of
action until exact nature of
proposed commercial development
• is _determined.

WESTINGHOUSE LEARNING CORPORATION
Filed October 28, 1969 ;
Petition to Rezone - R1A to C2, or in the alternative,
to a zone whichwould'permit the business activities
`of'the'Petitioner.
October 28, 1969 - from P & Z.minutes.
Mr. Phil Leff, representing petitioner, appeared before
P & Z'and explained need for commercial zoning.Motion
passed to recommend to City Council the P;& Z Commission's
desire to work with petitioner so that development can
occur in this area. -Matter will be` brought ;up at next-
meeting.
November 5, 1969
Planning Staff member and Building.& Zoning Coordinator
toured company's operations and determined that Cl zoning
would be appropriate for their usage.
November 11, 1969

Amendment to Staff Report.
Zoning Sub-Committee of P & Z revealed an earlier policy
- decision by -P & Z Commission to recommend land use at -

to CH zoning. Staff recommendation -- rezone R1A_to.CH.
November 11, 1969 -- from P & Z minutes
Mr. Leff stated that Westinghouse Learning Corp felt
the C2 zoning was still most desirable. After much
discussion, P & Z passed .a motion to recomme-nd'to City
Council that this property be rezoned to CH-classifi-
cation. -

FINAL PLAN OF WESTINGHOUSE LEARNING CORPORATION ( MRC )
Mr. Vestal stated that 'he -was most concerned about
Council action on the -Final Plan of the Westinghouse
Learning Corporation.. Mr. vestal then introduced for
Commissionconsiderationa resolution which read:
Be it resolved that: -
The Planning
hat:_The-Planning and Zoning Commission -expresses its
_ deep regret that the City,Council- did -not honor,
the understanding, as we believed it to be, between
the Council and the Commission that a`joint meet-
ing would be held whenever the Council intended
to overrule a recommendation -of -the Commission,
and further that the Commission urge that the
Council take advantage at the earliest possible
time of the pledge of,-WestinghouseLearning to
cooperate with the City in the development of a
rational street plan for the area immediately
north oftheintersection between Highway 1 and -
Prairie du Chien Road.
Allan D. Vestal
C Mr. Vestal stated that this understanding had previously
been used in the case of the rezoning of 1301 Sheridan
Avenue andheexpressed his opinion that a, joint meeting
of the twobodiesrelative to-the-Final--.Plan-of-Westinghouse
Learning Corporation was in order.`'Mr. Mulford and Mr.
Madsen commented that is was their understanding that joint -
meetings -were -not limited only to controversal rezoning
requests. The; Commission, as a whole, agreed that this was -
- their interpretation also. The Commission reiterated their
- previous position that its approval of the Final Planwhile
not specifically indicating a development schedule for the
proposed road -did require the dedication of right-of-way
for the proposed frontage road shown on the Final Plan.
Mr. Vestal stated that a dangerous precedent had been set
which could beconstrued as preferential`treatment;by
developers appearing --before the Commission at future meet-
ings., Mr. Vestal` suggested' that the pledge of Westinghouse+-
Learning Corporation to.cooperate with the City; in the
development of -"a street plan for the area should be honored
at the earliest -possible =tine. Mr. Beasley voiced opposition
to she resolution and suggested; that the discussion of
certain aspects of this situation should not be airedina
public - forum. The resolution" was _;then presented to" the `
Commission for their approval. The resolution was approves:
by a 3 to l majority. Mr. Madsen, Mulford, and Vestal voted
yes on the resolution, Mr. Beasley voted no.

You are hereby advised that the Iowa State Plumbing Code Committee adopted a new

Subject: Amendment to the State Plumbing Code, Section 135.11(8)
Review of subject amendment to the Iowa State Plumbing Code--
:.
indicates that Iowa cities would be able to meet }IUD's code adoption
r=
policy requirements In developing adequate plumbing code. While the
I�=
method of achieving an: acceptable plumbing code is cumbersome, this
method would permit mn to' accept =the provisions of this code as
+.
amended, by the, Uniform Plumbing Code. This is less than desirable;
however, It will allow the cities to qualify for Workable Program
Certification.
Hopefully, when the State Building Code is ready for adoption, all
iT
S
counties, cities and towns will cdopt,the ,State Building Code with-
P1
out -restrictions. --lt is our understanding that :the Uniform Plumbing
Code will -be a component of. the-.iStat, -Rny tfiin •- t;_�c,
action is taken, the -State Health Department. should provide the
.'j
cities with copies o: the necessary action to render ;the State'Plumbing

i
Code acceptable under Workable Program Code Adoption'. Criteria as - -

stated in letter dated .lune 13; .1972.

Policy- Councilman Czarnecki discussed pay range overlap;
last step at one 'level is ;first step fivelevels up; ;need for
- progression up within a classification, as from `Clerk -to Secy.
City Manager Ray Wells commented that G/K did not use
factor evaluation for each job, and thatweneed factor evalu-
ation on jobs and within the job itself (apprentice, productive '
and skilled) and to implement this,>need.to have it well docu-
-_mented and 'a reporting system with a personnel director to
make adjustments prior to adopting this type of system. -
The 'Council _& Staff also discussed longevity in one
position;incentive for otherthanpolice; ;education,<danger,
supervision & market factors; benchmark approach. The City,
• Manager advised that the position classification was an interim
step,`a foundation, which will correct some inequities now
and can be amended at budget time,- stating that this report
is the best that can be done now. He outlined -procedures
from the beginning with employee reports of duties and Depart-
ment Head evaluations.
Councilman White requested that the Affirmative Action"
Program be added to the report.

tions fory

that he is held responsible to the
Council and the Civil Service Commission

CONSIDER DENIAL OF REQUEST FROM IOWA -ILLINOIS GAS AND
ELECTRIC COMPANY FOR CONSTRUCTION ON HIGHWAY RIGHT-OF-WAY.
Comment:
Iowa -Illinois Gas and Electric Company has submitted to
the City an application for -construction --on highway `
right-of-way. Sincethelocation is within the City
limits of Iowa City, the City has to approve the ap-
plication _before the `Highway :Commission will grant
approval for construction within their right-of-way.
The request is for an easement to locate an overhead
guy wire within the property :that the City has recently
leased from the Highway Commission next to Interstate 80.
This land lies on the 'south `side of Interstate 80 and
north of Scott Boulevard. The application is for
construction in Park property and __not -within street
right-of-way. The Park and Recreation Director has
looked at the application and it is his recommendation
lacement
that the application not be :approved. The placement-
of this guy wire would detract aesthetically from the
of
park,.and the staff believes:that'such an installation
in this park facility should not be allowed.

CONSIDER REQUEST TO NEGOTIATE FOR -OPTION TO PURCHASE:
ALTERNATE SITE FOR HOUSING FOR THE ELDERLY.
Comment':
Permission from the Council is requested to negotiate
located
for an assignable option to purchase the property
at the northwest corner of Muscatine Avenue and Willow
Street. This is consistent with -the recommendation
in the letter from Mr. James Stier, Chairman
_contained
of the Iowa City Housing Commission, which was to locate
_
the housing for..the elderly project on the Muscatine
and Willow Street site if it became_ impossible to locate
the project at the property located on Dover and
Bradford Streets. The Dover; and Bradford site has not
yet been eliminated from consideration, however, it _
appears as though the rezoning of this property might be
site
a problem. Obtaining of an option on this second
will expedite the work on the Housing for the Elderly
project.if it becomes, impossible to locate the project on
the Bradford and Dover Street site.

upon whose recommendation you 'acted `share in that liability. It
should be an area for immediate and serious exploration.
-Second, a serious, sophisticated affirmative action program
is not now in our reach. We think it is .obvious that`.the degree
- of expertise, money, time and scope of this effort is greater.than
heretofore understood by either the city councilor the city manager.
Affirmative action is not an extraneous frill for the public
employer; it is a le -gal -responsibility. It is not simply
summarized in the cliche of "access by all to all jobs." Rather
it is inclusive of at least: in-depth work force -analysis of the -
applicant flow, selection criteria promotional opportunities,
seniority practices, work force attitude, evaluation of effectiveness;
re-education of management in all areas of equal:opportunity;
career counseling; physical facilities equity --all of which are
verbatim from Revised Order 4, the Guidelines for Affirmative
Action Program which are legally binding on this city._ I suggest
a \ew.Year's resolution for all: read Revised order 4, all 6
of its closely typed pages.
Third, the need for a Director of Employee Relations. A
written job announcement should be forthcoming and published.
: The active _recruitment _of the best qualified-applicant=should
include serious attempts to locate and attract women and minority
anplican_s. In support of this goal, thecity_ manager wi_l soca

the state.
We dust now treat the areas of disagreement. They are two
and they are serious.
First, is the employment standards question. it is a__c.ed
thatemploymentstandards specified in the Griffenhagen-Rroege-r
sed by the city are non','tests' tests
report and those u"
as defined in federal guidelines and in the absence of any data
showing they are job-related, constitute an invalid measure which
deprives or tends to deprive `an "affected class" --women and
minority people--from access to these jobs. The appropriateness
of job factor evaluation to this problem should be seriously
evaluated before it is accepted as a panacea. We are not talking
about a mammouth organization_; we are talking about an employer
with less than 400 jobs. Further, this city's experience with the
last two consulting firms brought in to handle "personnel problens"
has not been encouraging. A commitment in this direction should
be seriously and expertly analyzed.
The second major area of disagreement has implications`' of
wide wage scope: our allegation that this city has and is
perpetuating de facto se--- segregation of jobs and salaries.
= We h2ve offered-you data in support of this allegation *which
shows ,.:,at-women are at the -lowest _-rung of the salary scale of
this city and they exclusively occupy the lowest Classified
positzc^.s
This situaticn is compounded by the adding o 1e::
5
nositions under the GriHenhapen-Kroeger- classification -plan.
ofrect, the captive labor market--women -of Iowa City
is being esploitec: someone, sometime has to be held accountable
for this phenomena and the sir ice eliminated: Womca have the
` richt and concerned citizens can be said to have the public 'duty
to test these allegations in a court of 'law. Whatever mechanism,
if any, is set up to revise the Griffenhagen-Kroeger pay and job
classification schema, in the near future-the necessity for this
legal_-action will be up for 'review. Concerned women have not
waived this possibility by the response received'from'city
government in the last week.'
These -are -;rather =-omnious notes on which to end and do not
do justice to our good faith efforts and concern for our city.
In keeping with our past presentations, we again offer a new
positive suggestion for your consideration.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in
Kansas City, Missouri has available technical assistance and
expert se for the asking. The city may-simply -request -that ,a

Gentlemen:
The Student Senate at the University of Iowa together with the
Fine 'Arts Committee of theStudentUnion has made available to the Play-
wrights Workshop of Writers Workshop the sum of_$500. This sum has
— been advanced in the interests of supporting ,the financing of new plays
to be offered free to the citizens of Iowa City. Accordingly, an Iowa
Cit Public -Theatre project has been organized by the members of"Play
Wrights orks op in cooperation with students in the graduate, programs
of drama at the University. Through the creation of a Public Theatre,
the organizers hope to bring the City and University Communities together
in;_the=enjoyment of new plays, professionally mounted, and offered free
to the public.- In this way the talent and creative concerns of'University
students can be shared with the public and a dialogue ensue, The
community can -only.benefit -from seeing new works by student playwrights,
directors, and actors, offered free to them. The University, can -only -
benefit from the opinions and reactions of the citizens who attend. Both
Community and University will benefit from the closer ties .resulting
from such an enterprise.
The organizers of the Iowa City Public Theatre would like to add
to its operation a Childrens- ay ouse w ere community children could
come and do theatre several days a week and perform in _original children's
playsmountedby the ICPT for their benefit. This would be a service
offered free to the community. Children -'s plays on hand include Wind
in the-Ftillows, Snow `White, and Winnie -the -Pooh. As the student body
at the University has, through its grants, underwritten the initial
productions of the Public Theatre. we, the organizers, therefore wish
to PETITION:
December 15, 1972'
To the Mayor and'Citv`Council
of Iowa City--in request
of a matching grant of $500 to cover operations of the
-- Children's Playhouse in its first season as an integral
- part of the Iowa City.Public=Theatre,
Spring, 1973.
The organizers wish to thank
'petition
the Mayor and City _Council-for their
'and ourselves available for
consideration of this will make
further information-whenever
requested.

INTRODUCTION
In May, 1972, the City of Iowa City authorized us to conduct a study of all City positions
to determine if they were properly classified and compensated. Since more than half of
the operating budget is spent for personal services, a periodic review of the plans under
which that amount of money is spent is clearly desirable.
eThis is our final report of the findings of that study. We were also asked to review and
make comments on a set of personnel rules currently being considered for adoption. Our
comments will be found in the last section of this report.

We are indebted to the employees and officials of the City for their cooperation and
assistance. The employees and their supervisors provided the facts on which a sound
classification and pay plan must depend. We are, however, submitting this report as our
evaluation of the information given us and we alone are responsible for the conclusions
and recommendations.

1. In May, 1972, meetings were held with City administrators and employees
to explain the purpose of the study, the steps we would follow, the time schedule
and the kinds of assistance we would need.
2. Questionnaire forms and instruction sheets were distributed to all employees on which
they were asked to describe their job duties and responsibilities. These descriptions
were reviewed by supervisors and management staff and further information added
if necessary or desirable.
3. All completed questionnaires were then studied by our staff. In addition, interviews
were held with department heads, supervisors and employees as needed to gain further
understanding of the duties and responsibilities of the various positions.
4. Following the gathering of this information, we developed our tentative recommended
classification plan consisting of a set of class specifications and an indication of the
recommended title for each position. This material was made available to management
and employees for their comments which were considered in the preparation of our
final report.
5. Data as to the salaries paid in the appropriate labor market by both private and
public employers were secured for a number of "benchmark" jobs comparable to
those found in the City. Based on these data together with our evaluation of the
relative difficulty and responsibility of all City positions, we developed a recommended
compensation plan which we believe is equitable and competitive.

THE CLASSIFICATION PLAN
General Principles
Position classification is a basic tool of personnel management. It is impossible to establish
equitable pay levels or to do effective recruitment, selection, or training unless management
has identified the duties, responsibilities, and qualification requirements of the various
jobs.
The classification plan recommended as a result of this study thus consists of the class
specifications defining the kind and level of work included in each class and a listing
of all City positions showing into which class each should be assigned. These are included
in the Appendix of this report.
Class Specifications
In reviewing the recommended class specifications, the following points should be kept
in mind:
Most classes include more than one position. Therefore the class specification is
usually not a description of the work. of one person but may summarize that of
many persons doing similar work.
1 Griffenhagerr-I[roeger, Inc.
A classification plan consists of classes of positions (such as Firefighter, Account Clerk,
etc.) each having the title, duties and responsibilities and employment standards as described
in the class specifications. Each individual position in the service is then allocated to one
of the classes
Positions are placed in the same class (no matter where located) if their duties and
responsibilities are similar enough to: (1) deserve the same treatment as to salary level;
(2) require the same basic knowledges and skills; and (3) be appropriately called by the
same descriptive title.
Some of the classes, such as those of a department head or a technician, have but a
single position allocated to them. Others, such as some clerical and trades classes, may
have a number of positions in several departments allocated to them.
The proposed classification of each position is based on the duties the incumbent was
found to be performing at the time of this survey. In making these allocations, there
has been no consideration of past status, qualification to do the work, individual
performance, length of service, present salary or any other factor not directly related to
what the employee is actually doing.
®
p
Stated in another way - it is the position that is allocated to a class. For convenience
only, the position is identified by the name of the employee who presently occupies it.
The duties of the position, however, are the only factors with which we have been
concerned.
The classification plan recommended as a result of this study thus consists of the class
specifications defining the kind and level of work included in each class and a listing
of all City positions showing into which class each should be assigned. These are included
in the Appendix of this report.
Class Specifications

2. In most classes none of the positions will include all of the tasks listed.

r -n
The Employment Standards suggested are based upon the following considerations:
1. The standards suggested are for future use only. They do not apply to present
incumbents.
2. They are intended as general guides only. We strongly urge that any reasonable
equivalent combination of experience and training be considered appropriate in
future hiring.
3. The standards proposed are kept as low as possible. They are to serve as the
absolute minimum so that no one who could do the work will be barred from
consideration.

4. These suggested employment standards have very little to do with the pay
recommendations. They are offered as guides in future recruiting. The pay
recommendations are based primarily upon the job content rather than the
education and' experience requirement.
5. The list of knowledges, abilities and skills is not complete. Qualifications desirable
in all employees, such as honesty, accuracy and loyalty, for example, are not
specifically mentioned.
Conclusions and Recommendations
As was to be expected, we found some positions classified under titles which seemed
to indicate a lower level of responsibility than that actually carried, and others which
seemed too high. In fairness both to the employees and to the taxpayers, we urge that
these be corrected.
In other cases we have recommended changes in title which do not involve a substantial
lowering or raising of the level of the position. These suggestions are made in the interest
of consistency, in order to conform to accepted usage, or to provide a more descriptive
title. We have not suggested changes for the sake of change, but neither have we avoided
change simply to preserve a familiar terminology.
In order to give effect to the classification plan (following review and revision as necessary)
the City should take action adopting the class specifications and allocating existing positions
to the classes as shown in the allocation list (after correction to take account of personnel
changes which have occurred since the survey began). All official personnel and payroll
records of permanent employees should then be corrected as necessary to reflect the new
titles.
As positions are added or dropped and changes in work assignments made from time
to time, the City Manager should have responsibility for reflecting these changes in the
classification plan. New positions, if possible, should be allocated to one of the existing
classes. If there is none that seems appropriate, it will, of course, be necessary to create
one and to write a class specification for it.
If existing jobs change so significantly that they can no longer be appropriately allocated
to their present classes, they should be reallocated to another existing or new class which
is appropriate. It is very important that the plan be thus maintained. If it is not, titles
and descriptions will soon become inaccurate and it will be necessary to have another
overall study.

1 THE COMPENSATION PLAN
Basic Principles
The purpose of any compensation plan is to help the employer secure and retain competent
personnel. In order to do this, the following factors must be considered:
A. Salaries paid in the labor market for similar work under similar working
conditions.
The general level of salaries must be reasonably competitive with that of other
major employers in the appropriate labor market. If it is not, qualified employees
will not be attracted or retained. The quality of service to the public will be
lowered and turnover costs will be high. On the other hand, if salaries are much
above the average, the public employer will be competing unfairly with private
employers and the funds available for other necessary expenditures will be
depleted.
B. Significant differences in levels of duties and responsibilities among the various
classes.
1 Salary Survey Methods
i]
In order to determine what level of salary is competitive, it is necessary to survey the
labor markets in which the City recruits.
Griffenhagen-Kr-oe,ger, Inc.
Perhaps even more important than paying competitive rates is the need to keep
salaries in proper relation to each other.
A sound position classification plan is the first step in this direction. However,
the evaluation of relative difficulty and responsibility must also be translated
into dollars if there is to be a fair compensation plan. This has been one of
the primary aims in this study - to identify and suggest corrections for any
internal inequities.
Ability to finance salary adjustments.
iC.
®
A major consideration for any public jurisdiction is its ability to pay salaries
at the level which appears to be needed to attract and retain personnel. However,
this is a policy determination which the agency must make for itself, since it
involves choices among different uses for public funds. We, therefore, merely
indicate what we think are the appropriate levels and suggest possibilities for
implementing the recommendations. The final decision must, of course, be made
by the governing body of the public jurisdiction.

Since it is obviously impossible to find in other organizations jobs which are exactly
comparable to all those in the City of Iowa City, it was necessary to gather data on
a group of "benchmark" jobs. These jobs were chosen on the basis that: (a) their duties
and responsibilities are reasonably standardized; (b) they occur in sufficient numbers
among other employers to provide a good sample; and (c) they are well distributed among
various occupational fields in the classification plan.
Data were collected on the following classes:
As a secondary source of data, we gave consideration to the rates paid by four local
public sources including the State of Iowa, the University of Iowa, the Iowa City
Community School District, and the City of Cedar Rapids.
For those classes whose incumbents are normally recruited from a broader area, such as
professional, technical and administrative classes, statewide and regional data were secured.
e These agencies included the Cities of Des Moines, Dubuque, Davenport and Council Bluffs,
Iowa; Peoria, Illinois; Madison, Wisconsin; Omaha, Nebraska; and Rockford, Illinois.
After the recommended ranges for the benchmark classes were determined, all other related
classes within the particular occupational group were compared to the benchmark class
and placed above or below it based on their relative difficulty and responsibility. The
benchmark data sheets are shown beginning on page 15.
' Pay Conclusions and Recommendations
1. The specific ranges recommended for all classes are shown beginning on page 11.
In applying the pay data we have generally tried to place Iowa City somewhere near
the middle of the data. In addition to the data, we gave consideration to the need
for establishing and maintaining good internal salary relationships between classes and
also to recent recruitment and retention experience.

For those classes for which recruitment is
normally local, such as clerical,
labor and trades,
we obtained data through a salary survey
firms employ a total of more than 2,300
of six major private firms
people. We also used the

Wage Survey" which covers twenty-six employers within a fifty mile

Alternative (a) is the fairest and the one we usually recommend since it gives
the employees full credit for the service already earned with the City. It is,
however, the more expensive. If alternative (b) is adopted we suggest that the
employee retain his regular anniversary date for subsequent increments within
Ithe range.
4. As mentioned earlier, salaries recommended have been devised to provide a
reasonably competitive relationship with rates for comparable jobs in the labor
market. As changes take place in the general community wage level, the City
will need to make appropriate adjustments in order to continue to assure itself
of its fair share of qualified employees. In order to keep informed about these
trends, we suggest that the same sources of information used in this study be
reviewed once a year.
5. The recommended salary ranges are based on the duties and responsibilities of
the jobs as they now exist. As jobs "grow" or change, it will be necessary to
reevaluate them and reflect the changes in the salary plan as well as in the
classification plan, if employees are to continue to receive "equal pay for equal
work."
H--.

2. It is important to call attention to the fact that all occupational series are not
recommended for an equal adjustment. The data for each "benchmark" class
establishes the amount of adjustment for all related classes in that occupational field.
As a result, there will be, if our recommendations are adopted, some shifts in internal
relationships of classes. We regard these shifts as necessary and important if the City
is to get its plan in proper adjustment to the market in each area.
Installation and Administration
If our recommendations are adopted, we suggest the following steps for installation and
administration of the plan:
1. On the effective date of the plan, each employee receiving less than the new
minimum rate for his class should be adjusted to the new minimum. This is
necessary since the next day a new employee might be hired at that rate.
2. If the present rate of pay received by any employee exceeds the maximum rate
for his position under the new plan, the rate he is now receiving should be
continued in effect as though it were an added authorized rate as long as the
employee remains in the position or until a subsequent general increase brings
him within the approved range for his class.
3. All other employees should be adjusted either to: (a) the corresponding step ,
in the new range to that which he holds in his present range, or (b) the next
higher dollar amount in the new range for his class.
Alternative (a) is the fairest and the one we usually recommend since it gives
the employees full credit for the service already earned with the City. It is,
however, the more expensive. If alternative (b) is adopted we suggest that the
employee retain his regular anniversary date for subsequent increments within
Ithe range.
