The existing storm sewer on the property is not shown on the preliminary plat plan. I estimate the location of the ]- sewer could conceivably impact lots 14, 15 and 16 and would seem to cross the rear of lots 10, 11, 12 and 13. The sewer I,!' and easement should be shown on the plat and considered in _ layout. 2. The city should obtain easements for the existing storm sewer if it does not already have them. In any event, it would seem the easement should eventually appear in the ap- propriate lot descriptions. 3. The condition of the outlet of the existing storm sewer shows the care needed in developingthis area. About twenty!` ' feet of the lower end of the sewer is badly washed. The individual sections of the sewer have separated and sunk and are sliding on down hill. Repair and outlet work are needed. 4. Another aspect of storm drainage is the possibility of', drainage from Rochester Avenue, entering Thomas Court unless precautions are taken. Rochester Avenue .paving is crowned in the subject area and'the.curve is such that,storm drainage from the west .would tend to flow to the north side of Rochester Avenue. Thus this drainage would tend to enter Thomas Court unless Thomas Court is constructed with sufficient elevation just north of the intersection with Rochester Avenue. 5. An additional aspect of the drainage off of Rochester Avenue is that if the curb is cut to permit entrance to proposed lots 17 and 180 then Rochester Avenue drainage from the east will enter these driveways. In the worst case scenario, there is a possibility that the existing storm drain on Rochester Avenue could be completely "short-circuited" by the driveways on the east and Thomas Court on the west. Sincerely yours, J. Merle Trummel I OCT 19 1989 I 4 i City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: November 2, 1989 To: City Council and City Manager From: Marianne Milkman, CDBG Program Coordinator 3 i 1 Re: 1990 CDBG Funding Allocations s The attached resource book provides information on the funding requests for 1990 CDBG x Entitlement monies. Until Congress resolves its current budget Impasse, we will not know how much money we will receive. At the moment it looks like it will be about four percent less than t last year, Le. approximately $583,000. This amount combined with carryover funds, Income !; from housing rehab loan repayments, and the sale of Lower Ralston Creek parcels should give us approximately $750,000 to allocate. As in previous years, CDBG staff made recommendations on funding prior to CCN's October i i 17,-1989, -meeting. At that meeting CCN discussed all projects, ranked them and then 3 allocated funds. .A comparison of the amounts requested and recommended allocations by j staff and CCN Is attached to this memo. Further information is Included in the CCN minutes, the memos to CCN dated October 9 and 10, 1989, as well as in the individual applications. Comments on Differences Between CCN and Staff Recommendations 1. Broadway Street Neighborhood Center t As explained in the application, the Neighborhood Center plans were modified to include a walkout basement. $20,375 was requested for additional excavation costs, insulation, water -proofing, heating and cooling, and a concrete floor for the walk -out basement, i Some.funding was also requested for additional parking spaces. Staff recommended $10,000 in addition to the Center's request for the following improvements to the basement: provision of electricity, roughing -in the plumbing, windows and drywall This _ would permit use of the basement for recreational and other activities immediately when ! 4 the Center opens. CCN in turn recommended a further $10,000 to provide a retaining wall between the parking lot and lower level, a patio (outside hard surface play area), fencing, and a handicapped accessible sidewalk to the basement: CCN's rationale was, that with the expected immediate heavy use of the Center, it was essential to have these Items in place. 2. St. Clements Neighborhood - Street Paving N Staff recommended that a portion of the cost of this project come from CDBG funds. This lower income neighborhood is eligible for CDBG funding and the neighborhood u has requested It, The remainder of the cost could be funded through road use taxes or from other sources. CCN recommended no CDBG funding at this time. The ¢ 3. 4. 2 Committee felt that the neighborhood should request funding directly from Council, on the grounds that all neighborhoods were entitled to paved streets with proper stormwater drainage. ESA Small Repair Program/Planning CCN wanted to allocate additional funds to this program because they felt that this is an excellent program which fills a great need. Jean Mann (ESA Director) told the Committee that she does not have the staff to administer a larger program. CCN then recommended that the extent of the need for this program be determined prior to next year's funding cycle, to provide information on whether the program should be expanded including Increasing the staffing. Again, Jean Mann indicated that she did not have the staffing to carry out such a needs survey. It was decided that the CDBG staff should do the survey, with an additional $1,500 added to the CDBG planning allocation of $18,300 for this purpose.

Council From: Mary Nugen Associate Planner Re: HUD Guidelines for Recommending, CDBG Projects The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development )HUD) published new regulations for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG),programs on September 6, 1988. These regulations implement changes made to the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 by, congressional amendments in 1978, 1980, 1982, 1983 and finally,,with,the most recent Housing and, Community; Development I Act of1987. he 1988 regulations are, formulated to allow communities to carry out ? the intent of the act in a manner which. not only, results in the most efficient jj` expenditure of federal,funds, but also, in an effective achievement oflocal goals. The following' outline is intended to serve,as a grade for reviewing the Committee .on Community, Needs' and the CDBG staff's recommendations, as well as any of the 1 , City Council's, preferences' for the use of the 1989 CDBG funds. I NATIONAL OBJECTIVES i Although communities may develop their own programs and funding I) 1 priorities, one of the, following national objectiyes must be met.;, 1. Benefit low and moderate income families. At. least 51$ of those I� benefitting from the CDBG projects must have an annual income at 80$ or below, the area's median income.;, Local income. limits are listed below:: Income Limits Household 1 2 3 4 5 6 ! 1 SizePerson Persons Persons Persons Persons Persons 80% Median $20,050. $22,900 $25,800 $28,650 $30,450 $32,250 50% Median 12,550 14,300 16,100 17,900 19,350 20,750 The statute also specifies criteria for determining low and moderate income benefit. jI A. The activity must be carried out in an area or neighborhood consisting predominantly of low to moderate Income persons. B. The activity must involve facilities or services designed for use predominantly by low and moderate Income persons. i x /9GG 2 - 1 ' C.

An activity which provides for improved housing must be occupied predominantly by low and moderate income persons. 'i D. An activity designed for job creation or retention must involve' employment of predominantly by low and moderate income _ persons. 2. Aid in the prevention of slums and blight in designated redevelopment or urban renewal areas. The area and activities must meet specific conditions defined by the State or local government.' ^` 3. Meet the communitv development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions a pose serious and immediate threat to the i- health or welfare of the community or financial other resources are not available to meet such needs. II. ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES" Activities that can be carried out with CDBG funds include,' but'are it not limited to, the following: acquisition of real property; disposition; clearance and demolition;relocation' assistance; rehabilitation of residential and non- residential structures; construction of public facilitiesfand improvements, such 'as water and sewer facilities, streets and neighborhood agencies;`the , provision of public services within a limit of.15$' of the total allocation energy conservation; historic preservation; economic development activities planning and consultant activities and program'administration.','All 'must' serve a ub"c purpose and, again, meet one of the above national ; objectives. s. I "- 111. INELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES �� 4 The'types of activities that are generally'inefigible'include:buildings for general conduct of government; expenses required to carry out the regular responsibilities of the local government,'e.g. — activities; street maintenance; political income payments, such as housing' allowance and mortgage 1 subsidies;' new'' housing construction, exce t for residential facilities providing shelter for persons with special needs homeless shelters, i convalescent homes, spouse abuse shelters, halfwayhouses, group homes 1 ' for mentally retarded); purchase of construction equipment, office equipment, fixtures, motor vehicles, furnishings or other personal L property Lot an integral structural fixture, is generally ineligible. If you have any questions regarding the above HUD requirements or have questions regarding specific projects or programs, do not hesitate to call me at 356-5248 or any of the CDBG staff. / / ,. „ I 4 , i k 1 {' I P2 . 3 Johnson County Council of Governments 410E. V&hirgonSi. bAu City, bow 52240 Ir 00 i Date: October 10, 1989 t To: Committee on Community Needs { From: Marge Penney, Human Services Coordinator k r4t ' �a Re:, . Human Service Requests for 1990 Community Development Block Grant Funding � Since 83, the Human Services Coordinator has been providing input to.CCN regarding i Vy requests q from m human service agencies that participate In the Joint Coralville/Iowa City/Johnson County/United Way Funding Process. This year, I have also reviewed two human service,requests;from agencies that; do not. participate in that process—I hope that the :. Information enclosed..will enhance your, review of, all human service. funding. requests by { providing you with, additional background regarding the quality of the agencies involved as well I �. {�. as the need for the current proposals. A This report contains two Section:: (1) the. United. Way Planning Division's agency rankings from fn the Joint Coralville/Iowa City/Johnson County/United Way, Budget Hearings and (2) a brief narrative concerning each agency and the project for which funding is requested. The United II Way Planning Division, which includes both Iowa City and Johnson County representatives, scored each of the thirty presenting agencies on a scale from 1 to 5 (with 5 being best) in i.. { three areas: the importance of the services provided, the quality of those services, and the r.i agency's fiscal management. The rankings were based on a 30 -minute hearing as well as 20+ pages of budgetary and programmatic Information.; The attached list is in ranked order based I upon a composite of each agency's standing for all aspects of its operation; the agency with the best overall ranking is #1. The rankings of the: five participating agencies that have submitted proposals for CDBG funding are: Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County (then Willow Creek Neighborhood Center) ranked first, Elderly Services Agency ranked fourth, United Action,for Youth ranked fourteenth, Mayor's Youth Employment Program ranked sixteenth, and Hawkeye Area Community Action Program (HACAP) ranked twenty-seventh. It is important to remember that the ranking for HACAP was based on its existing Johnson County services and L; not on the Transitional Housing Project which is new. HACAP's ranking was affected, by several problems related to federal and state budget cuts and to Inadequate facilities; those i (-+ problems are in the process of resolution. For your information, I have attached a copy of the Agency Evaluation Form that was completed by each Planning Division member for each agency. {� I have also reviewed two projects that were submitted by agencies that do not participate in I the Joint Funding Process. One was submitted by the Johnson County Board of Health and the other by Cheryle R. Partridge. Both proposals are for human service projects, so my consideration of them seemed appropriate. In the attached narrative section, I have addressed the need for all seven proposed projects and have also outlined the current position of each ii w 2 agency as a whole, understanding that CCN needs to know the strength of the entire agency in order to judge its ability to carry out the proposal, I cannot recommend funding the Elderly Day Care Project. It would involve creation of a new agency to provide for expansion of an existing service. I believe that goal could be achieved more cost effectively by expanding the services of the current provider, the Visiting Nurse Association, if the need for expanded services can be documented. All other agencies that have submitted proposals: Elderly Services Agency, HACAP, the Johnson County Board of Health, Mayor's Youth Employment Program, Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County and United Action for Youth are long-term providers of high quality care in our community. I have found no reason, either administrative or programmatic, for recommending lhe'denial of any of these proposals. Each project would enable an already strong agency to better serve the Iowa City community. CCN is again being asked to recommend using 15% (the maximumallowable) of Iowa City's 1990 entitlement funding to support the City of Iowa City's FY91 Aid -to -Agencies program. Until FY87, Aid -to -Agencies funding came entirely from General Revenue Sharing. When General Revenue' Sharing monies were not available' for FY88,, Iowa City followed CCN's recommendation and used $93,150 of CDBG funding to replace a portion of the $195,509 Aid - to -Agencies shortfall;-" Fifteen percent of CDBG funding ($87,600 for FY89 and $91,050 for FY90) has-been used in each succeeding year for that purpose. In order to minimize monitoring requirements, CDBG funds are expended for only three agencies, but CDBG support actually impacts all agencies that are funded through the'Aid-to-Agencies Program: Big Brothers/Big Sisters The Crisis Center' Domestic Violence Intervention Program Elderly Services Agency HACAP MECCA 'Mayor's Youth Employment Program Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County Rape Victim Advocacy Program Red Cross United Action for Youth Continuation of CDBG funding for the Aid -to -Agencies Program is imperative to enable these agencies to continue to provide their Important services to the people of Iowa City. /sP r� li L I i, r� J i �I AGENCY RANKINGS UNITED WAY PLANNING DIVISION �.

The Elderly Services Agency (ESA) has been operating since 1980 and has five programs: 1) Chore and Respite Care, 2) Information and Referral/Outreach and Advocacy, 3) Shared Housing/Frail Elderly Program, 4) Coordinated Home Care, and 5) Housing Repair: ESA has maintained the goal of helping people 60 years of age and older in Johnson County to stay in their own homes as long as possible. During FY89, ESA served a total of 876 Iowa City residents (unduplicated count) through these programs. ESA's funding sources include Iowa City, Johnson County, Coralville, United Way, and Heritage Agency on Aging. The clients of the Housing Repair Program have been primarily low Income, fragile elderly. Moderate -income, extremely fragile elderly persons and non -elderly handi- capped individuals have also participated. In 1989, through October 3, this program has provided four clients with housing repair services that included: roof repairs, plumbing and carpentry repairs, Installation of locks, and painting. All of this was accomplished at a total cost of $1,896.77: Plans are in process for projects that will assist at least 11 more clients during 1989 and that will expend the $4,103.23 funding still available. CDBG staff is working with the staff at ESA to enhance the agency's administration of this project and to facilitate the use of this funding earlier in the budget year. ESA is requesting a continuation of this program with funding of $6,000. This money will again be used to ensure that elderly and handicapped individuals in Iowa City will be able to live in their own homes free of health and safety hazards. The funding requested would enable ESA to serve 25 to 30 Individuals In 1990. The goal of this program is to help elderly and handicapped people to maintain their Independ- ence in a safe environment. ESA ensures that all housing repairs are low cost yet adequate to resolve the problem. Hawkeye Area Community Action Program Request - $30,000 Transitional Housing Prolect The Hawkeye Area Community Action Program, Inc. (HACAP) was incorporated in 1965 under the provisions of the federal Economic Opportunities Act of 1964 to serve Johnson County. During succeeding years, services to additional counties were added: Linn and Jones Counties in 1968, Benton and Iowa Counties in 1974 and Washington County in 1981. HACAP continues to serve that six county area with a range of services to meet the needs of each county. In Johnson County, HACAP operates a Head Start Program that provides services in centers or in homes for both full and partial days. Its Food Reservoir and Supplemental Food Program provides government surplus commodities and privately donated food to needy families and to local agencies that feed hungry people. HACAP also offers work experience, weatherization, and energy assistance programs in Johnson County. HACAP served 3,764 Iowa City residents In federal fiscal year 88. With financial support from Johnson County and a federal homelessness grant, HACAP has recentiv begun work on a Transitional Housing Program in Johnson County. j f i ri. r' j" i / 9GG r I Ip If ti. L Transitional housing involves providing both housing and supportive services to families and individuals in need; it provides this help for up to 24 months, It Is a step between shelter (which Is short-term and emphasizes meeting physical needs) and fully independent living. Transitional housing Is especially helpful for those whose low income situation Is compounded by problems such as substance abuse, lack of education, domestic violence, physical or emotional problems. The sponsoring agency for transitional housing, In this case HACAP, does not directly provide all additional support services required. Rather, it maintains a close working relationship with other service providers in the community and faciiitates.the connection between transitional housing residents and the, appropriate helping agency. For example, the Domestic Violence Intervention Program would work with HACAP to help a family in transitional housing if domestic abuse were a problem. Local agencies have seen the need for this type of extended support, When HACAP sought funding from Johnson County for this program, the proposal received endorsement from the Crisis Center, Department of Human Services, Domestic Violence Intervention Program, Elderly Services Agency, Emergency Housing Project, Free Medical Clinic, Hillcrest Family Services, and the Mental Health Center. These agencies deal with many clients who would profit from this extended support as they attempt to solve their severe personal and family problems. HACAP has been providing a Transitional Housing Program in.Linn County for two years. The agency operates six buildings, that contain 14 units In Linn County. Our community is very fortunate to have the opportunity to establish a Transitional Housing Program through an agency that has already mastered the complexities of this important program. 3.

During the past 16 years the center, renamed the Willow Creek Neighborhood Center, has worked to achieve those goals, and conditions at Pheasant Ridge (formerly Mark IV) have Improved significantly. In July of 1988, the Willow Creek Neighborhood Center utilized additional Iowa City, Johnson County and. United,Way operating funding to initiate a program at the Cedarwood Apartments. Conditions at the Cedarwood apartment complex resembled the problems at Willow Creek 16 years ago. Child abuse reports and police reports were very high. Many households were headed by young, single mothers, and all of the residents were low income. Many of the women living in the complex had been or were currently victims of abuse. Later in 1988, Iowa City's City Council approved the recommendation of the Committee on Community Needs to allocate 1989 CDBG funding for the purchase of a facility to be used as a neighborhood center for the Cedarwood complex and the Broadway Street area. That Initial commitment by the City resulted In the agency's securing additional funding for the building from Johnson County and from the Iowa Department of Economic Development. The promise of a building also resulted in an unprecedented outpouring of programmatic assistance from other agencies.

IAF 3 Roosevelt Neighborhood Open Space Development A new application from Peg McElroy for this project is included in your packet. The original application proposed an Outdoor Learning Center. Such a project with its focus on the schools city-wlde Is Ineligible for CDBG funding. After some discussion, we agreed that this project would be much more appropriate if it focused on the development of open space for the lower Income neighborhood surrounding Roosevelt School, where there Is very little open space available.

Roosevelt School serves the Miller/Orchard Neighborhood as well as the densely populated apartment area on Benton Street; the area has a 67% low/moderate-income population. It Is the City's and School Board's policy to enhance the neighborhood focus of elementary school sites by developing appropriate open space for use as a neighborhood park. Such Is the intent for the development of the currently unusable ravine west of Roosevelt School. The development plan with its accessible trails, various types of 'lamed" vegetation and *around amphitheater, will provide an attractive area for use by the-neighborhood the school and particularly the two elderly residential complexes which are In the Future development of part of the open, space specifically for classroom use, Is 7 consistent with the primary purpose of providing accessible, usable open space. The fact that CDBG funds will leverage 57% of the funding for the project from state and local sources Is significant. In addition, the Mayor's Youth Employment Program will 1 i ; `. a, the. summer, use; - Conservation Corps participants for this project Staff also recommends some Initial neighborhood activities In the "park" to make local residents aware of this developed open space. Housing Rehabilitation This -program continues to be the single most successful program In terms of the r. number of LMI households benefitting directly, as well as the overall Impact on the City In Improving and maintaining the older housing stock. ' Six prograrris which meet different needs are managed through the rehab office. The program also leveraged an additional 69,000 In rental rehab funds and at least 80,000 In private housing rehab monies. Transitional Housing !J There Is a need to provide a safe, secure yet Independent environment for families and Individuals recovering from crisis situations. The Domestic Violence, Intervention Program and the Emergency Housing Shelter Project are full to capacity and only provide short-term shelter. Although the shelters refer clients to needed medical and social, services, they are not equipped to provide individual'counsellingfor longer periods, There Is an effective transitional housing program currently In Unn County whereby several homes were either donated or purchased at low cost and rehabilitated with local funding and private contributions; The program not only provides housing but also supervision and counselling to help families got back on their feet. Although t It Is extremely difficult to find low cost homes available for sale In Iowa City, the HACAP i I 4 personnel have been working with local realtors to find a place. Staff suggests that the HACAP request for CDBG funds to purchase/rehabilitate an existing home be granted, however contingent upon a purchase offer/lease being secured no later than July 1, 1989. Elderly, Services Agency/Small Repair Program . The, program, now in Its sixth year, helps elderly persons remain in their homes by providing funds to make smaller/minor repairs to their homes. Staff recommends that the funding request of $8,000 be approved and that additional administrative changes be evaluated to ensure an efficient and productive program. United Action for YouthlYouth Center Improvements The facility at 410 Iowa Avenue has had over $15,000 in Improvements made to it in the past two years utilizing CDBG funding. Staff recommends this year's request of $22,700 be approved to allow for Improved security lighting and climate control as well as expanding the client space by finishing off the space under the newer addition. These Improvements will allow for the agencies that occupy the space to continue to have adequate accommodations for the day-today operations. It is recommended that . $7,700 be provided as a grant and the remaining $15,000.in the form of a no-interest, ten-year loan with repayment starting in 1993. Hoover School Accessible Playground Phase II Hoover School Playground 1 Committee has . presented a creative' yet . reasonable approach to providing an integrated: play area for.the physically disabled children attending Hoover School as well as those children living in the neighborhood. $5,000 In 1989 CDBG funds along with approximately $4,000 of private funds were used to construct Phase I of a project to construct a multi-phased play area accessible to all children. Phase I Included a walkway down the hillside, a slide and two handicapped swings., The proposed plan for Phase II will extend the walkway to the existing swing area of the playground and construct a raised sandbox and a double stair/slide access to the sandbox: Hoover School Playground Committee estimates that it may cost an additional $10,000 to complete the project. Staff believes that completion of Phase I and the proposed Phase II will greatly enhance the opportunities for creative and safe play for all the children, however, we do not recommend funding beyond what is specified In the Hoover School request. We believe that the Hoover School Playground Committee as well as the School District can more realistically handle the existing multi- phased approach at this time. Photo Darkroom for. Recreation Center, ,. The Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department has again requested funding for making the, Photo Darkroom in the. Recreation, Center, accessible to handicapped individuals. The.widening of the,doonvay, lowering of the countertops and sinks; and Installation of accessible shelving and electrical outlets is necessary. Staff recommends approving the requested $4,740 for this project. I I k' 4 , l I I II 5 I Assistance to Small Businesses This is a continuation of a program to assist women and minority businesses as well as other small businesses working on CDBG funded projects. These businesses are Ilww provided with both technical assistance in the form of workshops and a library, as well I F as short-term, no Interest loans (and in some cases grants) to assist with immediate t cash flow problems; or help with extra insurance costs required for City projects. Experience from the,past year indicates a need for approximately $3,000. 'wwwp I, B. Proects Not Recommended for Funding �!

The precise amount of the entitlement is not known and HUD suggested that they ~ assume the amount will be the same as last year. Milkman said the previous year's entitlement — was $600,000. Loan paybacks, contingencies and other sources provide additional funds. Fifteen percent (or $90,000) of the HUD grant is designated by Council to public service agencies. Milkman explained that staff will provide comments on each program's eligibility and duplication of services, and staff will also make recommendations. Rawland indicated the stall report is valuable because of the staff's experience, but each member should express his/her own priorities. _ d 1 In response to questions from Fink, Rawland stated that City Council generally follows CCN's recommendations.

Barnes responded that at least one additional full-time staff person would be required and a total of $500,000. She continued that space restrictions limit increases in staff. Barnes said the applicants are prioritized with the elderly and handicapped getting highest priority followed by large families, single -parent households, small families, and single individuals.

He indicated that he would prefer to'delay the beginning of payments until after a current note is repaid In two years. Rowland asked why the service space expansion Is needed. Swaim responded that two years ago the increased need wasn't predicted and the larger service area for Mayor's Youth Employment Program (MYEP) and YouthHomes wasn't expected.

The requested funds would also allow for the °1 street to be widened from 22 feet to 28 feet and reduce the parking of cars in residents' yards. ~ ,Williams asked Kavanaugh if the residents feel the current city, services are adequate for the neighborhood and stated that if they do not feel it is adequate, the residents should go before City Council. ,Hale and Kavanaugh both expressed concerns that Increased taxes for the residents may create excessive financial burdens for some of the residents: 'Patrick stated 2 that there is no guarantee that the project would be financed under general improvement funds if it is not funded by CDBG. Hale said the street is City -owned and is maintained as a gravel street. (Kuhn arrived at 7:29 P.M.) At Rawiand's request, Milkman explained that the area is a •target neighborhood for rental rehabilitation. This requires that the area have over 50% of its residents be low Income and this includes tenants. She indicated that public improvements have been done in similar neighborhoods to prevent the burden of assessment from falling on the residents. Starr asked if it would be beneficial to complete part of the project, such as a storm sewer with curb and gutter. Hale responded that this would probably not be financially practical Cilek asked if it would be possible to require Home Town Dairies to pay for a portion, of the project. Milkman responded that an alternative is to assess only those who can afford the additional cost. Representative Jerry Steffensmeier from Home Town Dairies stated that Home Town Dairies has not proposed the project, but is merely supporting it. Johnson County/Iowa Citv Health Services Center Graham Dameron, director of the Johnson County Health Department, stated that approval from the Johnson County Board of Supervisors Is currently being sought; for,, the proposed expansion of the medical clinic.` He Informed the CCN that there has been a drcmatic Increase in eligibility for Women, Infants, and Children Clinic (WIC). , He said that there has also been an Increase in clients at the Johnson County Child Healthblinbc.

He stated financial support is also obtained from Johnson County and United Way. Dameron responded to a question from Cooper that the facility's current location is owned by Johnson County. Rawland asked if the preference is to have a new facility or to remodel the current facility. Dameron stated that a new facility is preferred for long-term planning, but he indicated that remodeling can take care of the present need if there is not as much as growth as has been occurring. In response to a question from Williams, Dameron stated no specific site has been selected, but he said it would need to be accessible to buses and have reasonable. lighting., Becker asked if the Salvation Army building has been considered. Dameron stated it has been considered, but the costs of the building and the need for major renovation are problems. He indicated there has been thought given to joining with HACAP In regard to that structure. At. Starr's request, Dameron explained that remodeling the current Clinic will allow for 50% growth and excess space could be leased until it is needed for the Clinic's use. Starr asked If a, no -Interest or low-interest loan would be considered. Dameron expressed the desire to have the project be a joint effort of several entitles Instead of being financed entirely by one entity. In response to a question from Cooper, Dameron stated that clients eligible for WIC must have incomes at 185% of the poverty level and Child Health Clinic clients are primarily low to moderate income. At Rawland's request, Milkman agreed to verity whether or not a County -owned building can be remodeled with.

J Visiting Nurse Association of Johnson County September 11, 1989 To Whom It May Concern: Health care for low income individuals is provided in this community by the Child Health Clinic, the Free Medical Clinic and the Women -Infant -Child Nutritional program. All of these services are supported in part by Johnson County through the Board of Health. These services need special facilities to provide effective, efficient care. I refer specifically to exam rooms with equipment for handwashing, a work room for sterilization and storage for clean supplies, a waiting room for clients and office space for the employees. All programs need a central location with easy access by the busline. I have been aware that the Child Health Clinic and WIC program share the: same space. They are becoming increasingly cramped as both programs are growing in the numbers of 'clients being served. I am .also; aware the Free Medical Clinic has been searching for new facilities better"suited to serving their clients. Graham Dameron, Director of the Health Department,. has been exploring the-possiblity:of remodeling/building'an appropriate facility that would; house all three programs.', Sharing of ,facilities would allow each'�program to haveadequate' facilities while reducing overhead cos S. n a dation, there would be positive effects for the Health Department and Visiting Nurse Association who currently are in the same building as the Child Health Clinic and the WIC program. The Health' Department is finding'the need for Public Health services to be increasing, resulting in the need,to expand their personnel force and office space. If they have inadequate space in which to grow, they will require the Visiting Nurse Association to move. Because the Health Department and the VNA work closely together, operating in separate facilities would decrease their effectiveness in providing services to the community. Therefore, I support the idea of seeking appropriate facilities to house the Child.Health Clinic, the WIC program and the Free Medical Clinic. I strongly feel it would improve services to the low income clients while reducing overhead costs. Also, it would allow for continued growth of these programs which appears necessary to meet the needs of the community.

We need this project because we have no other program which' provides a long-term solution to the problem of homelessness in Iowa City. This program gives people a place to live while they are learning essential skills for self-support in a structured environment. in Johnson County, a Drake University study done in 1988 identi- fied 70 individuals classified as living "on the street," 790 individuals living in ,cars, tents and abandoned buildings, etc., 35 individuals living in shelters and 630 individuals who would be homeless if they were not living with relatives or friends.Of the 1525 categorized as homeless in Johnson County',476,or 31%, were children.'; The Emergency Housing Project and. the Domestic Violence Project are consistently'full to capacity. The programs are able.to.provide only short-term shelter. These two projects have a total of only 48 beds.' By utilizing floor space these shelters have -held up to 75 individuals (see next page check if: continued on additionalpage(s).and attach 15. List Goals) of Project: (1), To obtain distressed, but structurally sound housing in Iowa City that can be rehab- ilitated to provide transitional hosuing for a minimum of 8 - 12 individuals. (2) To provide,a'safe I supportive learning: environment for essential job and life -related skills aimed at self support, (3) work.with appropriate agencies for families in the program and on the waiting-list and (4) to expand the program to include other properties as funding. apo opportunities become available. /yGG i f ) U .1 I i Page 1-a Question 2 continued: mativateC men (with or without families) who want to become self- supporting, but are homeless at present. Question 14 continued: On the average each monthp the Domestic Violence Program has four families that are in need of transitional housing. Another reason the.project is needed is because Johnson County is unique in that housing is hard to find and very expensive. Therefore, housing is not 'easily available to homeless People with no resources. The Johnson County Transitiona1 Housing Project can identify and renovate suitable housing which could provide for such an unmet need for the homeless. According to the Affordable Housing Study done by the City,of Iowa City -in -May of 1988 274 households were on the waiting list for leased housing. Even if they were able to get in to, leased housing, 'the'assisted housing program 'provided assistance with shelter,not with the essential skills needed to become self 1 supporting. A recent report from the IowatDepartment of Planning and I Program ; 1 Development showed a vacancy rate of 1% in April of 1969 for rental property in Iowa City. The survey also showed average monthly rents, including the costs of water. and heat are: Efficiency apartments : $254 One bedroom apartments : $308 - Two bedroom apartments : $379 Three bedroom apartments: $511 An A.D.C. family of four receives $476 per month. To rent a two .,bedroom apartment:at the above-average costs would available in -come. A thre� take 80% of their e bedroom apartment would exceed their income. The large student enrollment at the university of Iowa Provides increased competition for available housing and exacerbates the Problem of finding affordable housing. The average cost of a three bedroom home,,,in Iowa City is $75,000 according.to Carla Davis, Executive Director of the Iowa City Board of Realtors. Rehabilitation of existing multi- family housing into safe.housing stock, which meets city code,,'can average $25,000 to $40,000 and.up.depending on the sizeandcondition of the,property. Receiving a reasonable return -on the in ' vestment precludes low-income persons' ability, to, af ford the rent. The Transitional Housing Program not only Provides housing, but tries to resolve related problems of the household in order to enable them to move from the welfare role to the tax paying citizen. We use a holistic counseling approach and a referral system to improve job and -leducational'skills, mental health, physical health, life and socialization skills las well as referral to other needs to maximize opportunity for family stabilization. A family coming into the program must first want, tQ b&rd= involved and have a long term goal to become (Please note` that'the Drake study referred to on `the front pageis the only definitive study done to date in Iowa.

JOHNSON COUNTY OFFICE CAROL THOMPSON, DIRECTOR September 13, 1989 Committee on Community Needs c/o Marianne Milkman Planning Department, 410 E. Washington St. Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Marianne: It is a pleasure to recommend the proposal for transitional housing that has been put together by HACAP and the Domestic Violence Intervention Project. I think it could become the centerofa re -vitalized housing- I program for Iowa City. , ' For more than a year now, we have been seeing an increase in I� ' the number of families who become homeless and an even greater increase in the length of time they are without housing. This is in contrast to our past experience, when ! most homeless people were single and transient. Several times recently, we have had families get "stuck" at DVIP or Emergency Housing, unable to find appropriate housing they could afford. Some need additional support in order to set• -up an orderly pattern of life for themselves and their children. „ The proposal to provide transitional housing would give these families a chance to get on their feet in a safe .environment. We still need,additional..housing.subsidy and Possibly more low-income housing, but this project will give 'a us new beginning and a sense of direction for future _ housing plans. I kq; I hope.you�will consider the proposal favorably. �- -Sincerely, Oyy cnn Carol Thompson I 'r County Director of Human Services i ..911 North Governor -Iowa CI 52240 - 319-356-6050 ty, Iowa � I J: • L, Z! 1 CITY OF IOWA CITY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT f P14Tu1 ui{s.l V l!

What used to be the Department of Health, Education and Welfare said that 25% of the people in nursing homes did not really need to be there. They were there only because they couldn' solve the problems of remaining independent in their own homes. Significantly, 75% of the people in nursing homes had no spouse or other family member to help them, while that statistic for the non -institutionalized population was only 40%. Help with the work of maintaining independence in , our home is the most critical factor for staying out of a nursing home. Coupled with th—e-fact that 50% of the people over 60 in this country live in ouli ses built before 1939, help with home maintenance becomes a major independence issue. Older people sometimes do not have the energy, physical agility, financial resources or the know-how necessary to cope with the kinds of problems associated with maintaining the XX check if continued on additional page(s) and attach 15.

General Description of Activities: Explain how goals will be accomplished. Include time schedule, amount of volunteer or staff time needed, and other pertinent data about the activities. Indicate if the Project will require the cooperation of other City departments and, if so, whether they have been contacted. Goal 1: ESA will use its outreach program, which has 50 volunteers under the supervision of a program coordinator, to make referrals to the Housing Repair program. These volunteers have regular contact with those elderly most likely to need help staying in their homes. They will be taught to understand the mission of the Housing Repair program and how it works so that they can make the appropriate referrals to the staff. The outreach program also as a publicity campaign which aims at all the elderly in the County, using the "Senior Center Post,"the"Iowa City Press Citizen," and radio and television, as well as personal appearance by the staff, and the distribution of brochures on available services to all relevant sites. We also keep other agencies informed of the availability of programs through the Organizatio of Service. Providers for the Elderly, which meets monthly at the Senior Center, and the twice monthly meeting of the Case Managment team. Goal 2: We use the list of construction workers made available to us by the Housing Rehabilitation program as well as workers referred to us by people familiar with the construction business as a base. We write to them, ask them if they are interested in bidding on small repairs, request demonstration of liability coverage, and then mail sets of jobs on which specifications have been drawn up for them to make bids on. The quality of the work is monitored by inspections at the work site by either Associate Planner Marcia Hale or Doris Walden, our part-time consultant, depending upon the level of complexity involved. This type of work appeals to contractors who are just starting out. More established contractors are not interested in such small jobs. Therefore, we attract low/moderate income workers to the program. They make low-cost repairs of good quality in part because of the supervision and assessment built into the program. If the work is not done correctly, they don't get paid. Goal 3: We have the services of two consultants: one is Associate Planner Marcia Hale, who will contribute specifications and oversight for things like roofs, ramps, and the more detailed, complex jobs. The other is Doris Walden, our construction consultant, who for the last year has served as the "legs" for the program, visiting people requesting service, assessing what they need to have done, and writing up.the specifications for the - job: 'She also works with the Director to screen bids from area contractors and to follow through on getting the work set up and monitored.

Will Project Be Continued After Community Development Block Grant Funding? YES XX NO If Yes, what source(s) of funding do you propose to use? The Farmers' Home Administration and the Johnson County Subsidized Chore program, which is administered through ESA, are the only places where we could find funding to do regular home repairs for elderly/handicapped people. The problem with the former is that it does not cover mobile homes, and it concentrates on rural areas. The problem with the latter isi that it must cover all other subsidized chore work before money can be released for repairs. However, every year the Johnson County Health Department accepts our proposal to provide subsidized services to low-income elderly (earning up to $900 a month) on a sliding ,scale (so that people with less than $400 a month get the services free and those between $401 and $900 pay about 50t for every $50). If we can show that the elderly/handicapped'. person_is incapable of performing the necessary repairs, and conduct a face-to-face' assessment, and document financial eligibility as well as the fact that the applicant has no,other person: from whom the work could be sought, then we can use this money to pay for the labor required for the job. The cost of materials is not covered, however, and we would have to seek private donations or money donated from United Way.

HERBERT HOOVER ELEMENTARY 1 2200 East Court Street Iowa City, Iowa 52245 Dear '{ The Hoover Elementary School PTA has undertaken a project to construct a totally 1 integrated and accessible playground to serve both the handicapped and non -disabled students at Hoover as well as any disabled children in our community. The existing playground is not accessible or adapted to allow for any type of physical play to handicapped children. Hoover serves fourciasses of special education students and we feel a very strong need to provide them with the opportunity to play in the least -restrictive environment ' possible and to develop their social and physical skills alongside non children. -disabled In order to develop this integrated playground, Hoover PTA hired Mr, Steven Ford, a local landscape architect, to design a formal, multi -phased playground.. We received a $5,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG).lost year, which is being used to construct Phase I { i. ' of our design, a concrete walkway down the hill. Also included in Phase I are a handicapped accessible hillside slide and swings financed by'initial donations from communityagencies and the Hoover PTA. We are now ready to begin Phase II of our plan which includes a large, raised - sandbox area with a cutaway edge to allow accessibility from wheelchairs, as well as a double Stair/slide area to provide an alternate accessible route to the sandbox. In addition, we will continue the walkway to make the entire playground area handicapped accessibie. Future phases of this project include a more physically challenging climbing structure, expanding hardtop. r , _ play surfaces, and updating safety features of the entire playground. — ? We are very excited about providing such a playground for our community and ask you to join us in this endeavor. We are seeking a $7,800 CDBG for Phase 11 of this1 p ayground project and are requesting matching funds from the Hoover PTA and community organizations and businesses. We are hoping you will be able to generously support this community protect. We would be willing to meet with you to answer any questions and review Mr, Ford's detailed plans for this integrated andaccessible playground. Thank you for your consideration. A member of our1 D eyground committee will be contacting you in the near future, 4 Sincerely, i 1 s FR a Judy Cilek j Chairperson, Hoover Playground Committee r L 1 ,; i i i i l I i i I •.

The lack of curb ramps at street and sidewalk intersections makes it difficult for individuals with physical disabilities to gain access to many of the City s public and private facilities. During the past four years, the CCN Curb Ramp; Committee has identified a network of curb ramp sites to increase accessibility to parks' and shopping, facilities, and 65 curb ramps have been constructed. The Public Works 'Depart ment has; also, contributed to the project by repairing deteriorated ' some sidewalks and street areas that have been identified by the Curb Ramp Committee. During the Summer of 1989, a Curb Ramp Survey was conducted by a planning intern. (A draft j copy is attached. The survey identified missing/deteriorated curb ramps and sidewalks in the 403 Area". o pprox. 1,300 locations were found as needing improvement.

Northwest corner of Prairie du Chien and North Dodge Street (sidewalk only). 2. Northeast corner of Prairie du Chien and North Dodge Street. 3. Southeast corner of College Street and Linn Street. 4. Northeast corner of Bradford Street and William Street. 5. Northwest corner of BradfordStreet and William Street. 6. Southeast corner of Bloomington Street and Lucas Street. 7. Southwest corner of Bloomington Street and Governor Street. 8. Southeast corner of Bloomington Street and Union Place. 9. Southwest corner of Bloomington Street and Elizabeth Street. 10. Southeast corner of Bloomington Street and Elizabeth Street. . 11. Northwest corner of Prentiss Street and Dubuque Street. (The underline under the street names above indicates the' street on which"the' curb ramp cut was constructed.) - L For 1990 1 have made a request for $10,000,for Installation/repair of curb ramps .. and side-walks`V'This Is a'substantial increase from the funding level of previous years The following are reasons for this increased request: v ...._..... , - r' i .. _.......,._.. .. 1. The recent curb ramp surveyconducted this past summer determined that 11 there were approximately 1,200 missing curb ramp s in the 403 Area." The $10,000 requested would fund approximately 24 curb ramp installations. >' j 2. Staff time needed to administer and monitor a $10,000 curb ramp program would be no more time -involved than a project of half the cast (or less). 3. The Public Works Department of Iowa City suggested that the -contracted cost per curb ramp decreases as the volume of work increases.. It was also suggested that if the volume of work was substantial enough,.the Depart-: menta could consider. hiring extraworkers for the summer to Install such ramps thus ,making it, more economical: Please feel free to discuss this matter further at the September CCN meeting. I would be glad to answer any questions your may have. cc: Marianne Milkman, CDBG Program Coordinator Chuck Schmadeke, Public Works Director bj/pc2 1 I , I: f , d L l F r' i 1 1 is F: , r t p!

The "403 Area" is that area of Iowa City eligible for Community Development Block Grant funds because of its predominant low/moderate income population and its older neighborhoods. The purpose of the survey was to determine the location of existing curb ramps and their condition and to locate any deficient sidewalks. The Committee plans on using the results of the survey to plan for future Curb Ramp Installation Projects funded annually through the CDBG Program in order to build a more accessible city for its citizens. t ACTUAL SURVEY There were three options on how to survey the area. The first option, to survey the area by foot, was determined to be time Inefficient. The second option, to survey the area by car, was ruled out as this method would not provide an adequate view of some of the curb ramps surveyed. Also, It would be difficult from a car to view the sidewalks and determine their condition. The third option, and the one chosen,.was to survey the area by bicycle. This ` method was date! d rmino to be the most time efficient and effective. In surveying the area a plannin Intern me d h = - , g ppe w ere curb ramps were not located and also mapped the location and condition of existing curb ramps.,, Existing curb ramps were Inspected i for theft slope (steepness and direction); whether the curb ramp met the street (disjointed or ` raised), and general condition. ;The sidewalks were examined for the same basic character- istics. Guidelines followed to evaluate the condition of the sidewalks are those used by the Iowa City. Department of Public Works. Having surveyed the "403 Area", the information was then mapped. It was decided to initially map where curb ramps are not located, rather than to map existing ramps. This method provides a means of evaluating where construction of new curb ramps is necessary, particularly i, In planning for creating accessible "routes" throughout the area. Later, a map of where curb ramps are located could be completed. This map could then be printed and distributed to those. interested in knowing passable routes for wheelchair-bound individuals in Iowa City. s SURVEY. DIFFICULTIES I; i Since surveying the curb ramps consisted of visually Inspecting the ramps, one cannot ensure that all ramps were evaluated equally, especially when dealing with proper slope and the angle of the slope, Using only eyes for a tool of measurement, it was difficult at times to determine whether the curb ramp had an adequate' slope.' However, this survey lists ramps In need of " major slope Improvements. Riding the bike did not allow a greatrdeal of concentration on evaluating the condition of sidewalks.. Therefore, this survey does not claim to be a complete evaluation of the condition ' of the sidewalks, but hopefully a notation of all "major" deficiencies. i L i, L j". L I; i F11 r i 2 VARIOUS CLASSIFICATIONS The following Is a list of classifications used to describe the presence or the condition of existing curb ramps and sidewalks. • No Curb Ramo - notes that a curb ramp Is missing on one side of the corner of the intersection. ' No Curb Ramo with No Sidewalk - curb ramp is missing on one side of the corner of the intersection, and there are no sidewalks from any direction leading up to where a curb ramp should be located. r r' { I+ 2 Curb Ramo Slopes Sidewaysfroo Steep - a curb ramp's slope propels wheel chair sideways onto side street or directly Into street served. iw` I 3 1" Raised Crack on Sidewalk/Curb Ramo - a break In sidewalk or curb ramp that could potentially prevent a wheel chair from passing that point 4 Sunken Sidewalk/Small Segment of Sidewalk Missino - a dip in sidewalk or a section of sidewalk smaller than 4' x 8' which could potentially prevent a wheel chair from passing that point in the sidewalk.,, 5 StCDS - steps are located within sidewalk/curb area. I I n 6;: ;< Rough Street/Rall Road Crossing - a street or a railroad crossing which could poten- tially Prevent a wheel chair from passing that point. J, 7 ; Deteriorated Sidewalk/Curb Ramo - a sidewalk or curb ramp which is in need of repair A; due to deterioration. - 8 Portion/All of Sidewalk Missing within Block a large part of a sidewalk missing along a block which prevents a wheel chair from passing that point. GENERAL FINDINGS As demonstrated by the map, of the curb ramp survey, there exists a. definite need for additional curb ramps With the exception of a couple of missing ramps and some minor improvements, the Central Business District is well'served byi existing curb ramps.? The residential areas immediately surrounding the CBD have an inadequate, curb ramp structure. 'j However,' a number of these areas were built when sidewalks were not required (i.e. the area, J2 between Court Street anis the Iowa Interstate Railway and 1st Avenue and 7th Avenue): Since there are no sidewalks leading up to these corners,' it would be of no value to build curb Vamps on these corners. i Due to the fact that a great number of curb ramps are needed, particularly in residential areas, It is recommended that the Curb Ramp Committee prioritize areas it hopes to make accessible and develops routes to connect these areas.

However, I urge you in your evaluation of this program to consider the many excellent projects State-wide which have been completed due to the infusion of RISE funds. Here in Iowa City, we have two outstanding examples. The Scott Boulevard/Local Road RISE project has resulted in the siting of a new can manufacturing plant in southeast Iowa City. The Highway 1 North RISE project was instrumental in plans by the NCS Corporation to expand their existing operation. These two examples will be creating hundreds of high quality, high paying jobs in our community. In both cases the infusion of RISE funds was essential to the location decisions made by these firms. We intend to continue our aggressive approach in attracting high quality Industry to Iowa City. it is our hope that the RISE program will continue to be an Important tool to assist us in our efforts. t + F I Please contact me if I can provide any additional information regarding this matter.

The attached p: sheet details the 19 largest projects, the engineer's estimate and F, the low and high bid. A "good" estimate should be slightly below the average of the bids received. A major concern to an estimator is that the estimate not be too high. This may cause a bidder to question its assessment of the complexity of the project or question if all pertinent information has been provided in the specifications and -!' f - influence the bidder to adjust its bid upward. The total estimated cost of the 19 projects listed is $53,255,298. ! 1' The total of all the low bids is $48,120,461 or 90% of the engineer's estimate. In other words, the estimates were 10% over I ?, the actual low bids. If the wastewater facility improvements are eliminated from the calculations since they are such a large portion of the total cost; there are 15 projects to consider. These 15 projects were �•. estimated to cost $13,701,301. The sum of the actual low bids was $12,874,876 or 6% under the engineer's estimate. This is an acceptable difference. Also, in only 3 of the 19 projects was the engineer's estimate above all bids. The 'greatest discrepancy appears to be with building and trade industry work; and the City has had great difficulty preparing estimates for its building projects. This could be the result of several factors. 1) Building contractors work in both the public 1 and private sector. Selective bidding is common practice in ,the private sector and the private sector is less regulated. 2) The City has difficulty, estimating the cost of labor stoppages since it is.a rare occurrence on city projects, yet this must be factored in as a 'cost by building contractors. 3) Negotiated discounts to the contractor for materials - and equipment are difficult to predict. 4) Remodeling and additions to existing a buildings are very difficult projects for a contractor to bid, since there are usually many unknown conditions. The contractor i must include a cost for delays and down time. 5) Very few contractors will bid remodelling projects if other work is available, thus reducing the competitive benefit of the bidding y ! process. Perhaps the single largest factor affecting all projects is market conditions. Market conditions are very difficult to predict since contractors are typically secretive with regard to i I F work load and projects they plan to bid. In addition, it is { common for a contractor to prepare two bids. The decision of ? which bid to submit is based on the competition present at the time of the bid submittal. In the final analysis the engineer attempts to determine the t reasonable cost to construct a project. A low bid which is substantially below or above the engineer's estimate does not mean that the .engineer's reasonable cost is in error. Many a. 'contractor has gone broke underbidding projects, and many projects are constructed out of necessity when market conditions are not ,.,. favorable and bids are high. � < I ! 1 t 1 ry } 1 a 1 411 1, II r 1 t4 t j I F i 3 I E.

Their concern, as I am sure Is shared by many throughout the State of Iowa, is to minimize If not avoid agricultural runoff Into a water supply Used by many cities throughout the State: As you know,Iowa City utilizes the Iowa River as its: source of water and thereby we are concerned about, as I am sure your staff also shares similar concerns, the water quality as it Tay be affected,by agricultural chemicals and pesticides. - Before the City Council is to take a formal position and advise our area state legislators concerning this Issue, they have asked that I contact you and determine whether you have done any formal reports or other information that would support such proposed legislation. I would appreciate receiving any general information that you think would be helpful to the Iowa City Council prior to their consideration of a legislative position concerning this issue. Thank you.

As you can see it is our Intent to fully satisfy the state requirements with respect to separation and disposal of yard waste. We are proceeding with a program that we believe will ultimately provide not only a quality compost product but more than satisfy any state or federal regulations. Of particular concern is that we are being required, based upon legislative mandates, to undertake a program without benefit of state regulation. I recognize you may be surprised by such words as 'benefit of state regulation', however, I am sure you can appreciate that we are proceeding with some trepida- tion in spending approximately $500,000 to satisfy this particular state law. We had understood some time ago that state regulations would be forthcoming in mid-September and were Informed it may be many months before such regulations are forthcoming. We have attempted to keep the DNR officials Involved, however we can receive no firm written commitments as to whether our program might ultimately satisfy their regulations. I simply want to, bring this matter to your attention so that you are aware of our Interest in fully satisfying the state law, but also an expression of our frustration in proceeding without any state policy guidance. Another additional concern is, upon review of House File 753, you will note that the measure- ments utilized in determining whether a landfill operator is in compliance, with respect to its landfill operations and obligations to reduce volumes by certain percentages at a date certain. The law states that 3.5 lbs, of waste are generated per day per person. Assuming our County population of 83,000 (Iowa City landfill serves all of Johnson County and part of Washington County) we would have a base annual volume maximum of 52,800 tons. Our actual annual tonnage at the landfill is 110,000 tons.. Reductions of this magnitude, let alone applying future percentage reductions, may be practically impossible to meet. I believe use of this measure- ment is an Inappropriate and overly broad means to determine whether a community has conscientiously worked toward volume reduction. Other communities that provide landfills must also share this concern. Regulations need to be undertaken to recognize the specific charac- teristics of communities served by a particular landfill. A community's industrial base and other factors which generate landfill waste would significantly affect volumes. Additionally, many of the state and local development initiatives, such as encouraging new businesses and Industry, would not be forthcoming in light of a policy that measures waste by such an arbitrary means. New businesses and industries obviously generate waste and therefore contribute to increasing tonnage. The law as it currently reads is overly restrictive and therefore I would encourage the DNR and possibly even the legislature to review these types of mandates and allow for a 410 [AST WASHINGTON 1TR1tT • IOWA CITY.
