With all of the concern over the drug problem in Columbia and with a realization by our news commentators and others that drug consumers in the United States are the real problem, I wrote the enclosed letter to Senators Grassley and Harkin and Representative Nagel. Today, the thought occurred to me that we should make Iowa City a {1 - Drug Free Zone. Drugs are a greater hazard to all of us than nuclear 1 weapons and the community has already been made a Nuclear Free Zone. Who would have though 10 years ago that smoking all types of tobacco would be almost completely eliminated from our public buildings and many r - of. our private business areas? We must start now to eliminate this very serious drug problem. Therefore, I ask that the Iowa City -City Council proclaim Iowa City !I ; 1' a Drug Free Zone. If this is legal, then violators should be fined a substantial amount for procession of drugs and drug paraphernalia. I hope that you and the City Council will act favorably on the proposal. Thank you. I Sincerely, r , Robert C. Brown, M.D. 351 Koser Avenue Iowa City, IA 52246 RCB/pao Enclosure r e " c: Mayor E. E. Rhodes _ 157-3 r F L E 0 _ 5 1989 MARIAN K. KARR CITY CLERK (1) August 30, 1989 Representative David R. Nagle 214 Connon House Office Bldg. Washington, DC 20515 Dear Representative Nagle: , I I i i i i i In the last couple of days I have heard the President of Columbia begging for aid in fighting the Columbian Drug dealers. I have not used drugs in my entire 66 years, however, I agree with the Columbian ` President and other commentators who have stated that the drug problem is brought on because of the use of drugs by American citizens. If no one buys cocaine, no one will manufacture it. Certainly this drug business is everybody's problem, therefore I suggest a l or 2% National Sales Tax, food and clothing excluded, to help finance this fight. Pure luxury items such as, high priced clothing, boats, high priced vacations, high priced automobiles, etc., could have an extra surcharge. All monies, cash in pocket, bank { accounts, assests of drug dealers would go into this fund. Persons i convicted of possession of drugs should have a substantial fine which would be added to the fund. This money could be divided between the federal and state governments for the war on drugs. I I know President Bush said "no new taxes", but I think he meant no new taxes for the operation of the government. The problem in Columbia and other cocaine producing countries is our problem, but certainly it is not a normal operational cost of the U.S. government. This special tax.would also remind all citizens that cocaine and drugs are our problem. The time has come to recoginze that we have found the cause and answer to the cocaine problem. We is itl The time has also come to pay the piper. , Sincerely, Robert C. Brown, M.D. 351 Koser Avenue Iowa City, Iowa 52246 RCB/pao , I I i i i i i { i I 1573 LE 0 8 1989 MARIAN K.

MEMORANDUM Iowa City Public Library Date: September 13, 1989 To: City Council From: Lolly Eggers, Library Director Re: Community Arts Facility The staff of the Iowa City Public Library are aware of the continuing need in Iowa City for more public spaces for the performing and visual arts from the many inquiries and requests we receive for use of library facilities for related purposes. The development of Parcel 61-a (directly across the street from the library) to include a community arts facility would certainly be a compatible civic use of this prime space and might well draw more people to Iowa City's downtown. It is possible that some larger, art -related library functions, such as our annual puppet festival and some music and drama programs, might be able to utilize performing space in such a facility. We are also aware of Iowa City's classic dilemma based on the assumption that all such needs are taken care of by the presence of the University while Iowa City's many community-based artists and art organizations lack access to adequate arts facilities. These opinions and comments are based on staff experience at the library. The Library Board.of Trustees has not discussed this issue and this memo does not intend to infer support or non-support by the Board. bj/pc2 1.575 I j 4.

According to Ms. Horton, the Animal Control Supervisor, her policy is to never let ferrets out for adoption-- all are killed. UNIQUENESS OF THE FERRET IN PLACEMENT POLICY This policy places the ferret (Mustela putorlus furo) in a unique position among domestic mammals. Finding new homes for lost and abandoned dogs and cats is the best-known part of the shelter's mission, but the shelter has also placed such animals as domestic rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, various pet birds, goats, and pigs (B. Horton, .personal communication). The ferret meets the definition in the Iowa City municipal code for a pet animal (Section 7-17, p. 487), and is sold in local pet stores. The mercurial rise in popularity of ferrets as pets necessitates the thoughtful examination of its fatal ostracism from all other warm-blooded domestic animals. REASONING OFFERED FOR THE EXCEPTIONAL POLICY After repeated requests, Ms. Horton supplied copies of the materials she attended to when formulating shelter policy. These were: (1) a 10 November 1983 memorandum from a Sue Pressman on what is considered an "acceptable pet" [annotated as "adopted by ICAS Jan. 15, 1984" by B. Horton] (2) a 10 -year survey (ending in 1981) of reported human injuries or health threats from Journal of the American Veterinary Medicine Association 180(4):382-383 (1982) (3) a note dated 6 September 1989 from Mary 7 of the Johnson County Health Department and (4) p. 63 from Winkler, W.G. Rabies Concepts for Medical Professionals. From these materials were drawn several conclusions, given below. (1) The ferret is not an "acceptable pet" because it, like the cockatiel and llama, is "in transition from the wild to the domesticated state", and is in a state described as an "evolutionary 'limbo"' (Pressman 1983). (2) Ferrets have been reported to bite and scratch with at least two cases of them being implicated in notable injury (JAVMA 1982). (3) Ferrets can contract rabies, and one case was confirmed in Iowa [making a 18 positive -to -tested rate] (Johnson County Health Department 1989). (4) It is generally not recommended to keep any animal involved in a biting incident, save a dog or cat, for a 10. day observation period because of a general ignorance of the time period before clinical symptoms develop in which virus is shed in the saliva (Winkler, no date available in material presented). I 1608 I' 1, ........... COUNTERING ARGUMENTS (1) STATUS OF THE FERRET The assessment of the ferret as a species just beginning to undergo domestication is patent falsity. The ferret has been domesticated for at least 2000 years (Thompson 1951, Clutton -Brock 1981, Mason 1984, Russell and Stunkard 1984), Their breeding has long been controlled and directed by man, resulting in a myriad of color variations, size classes, and morphological and behavioral differences from the progenitor species, the European polecat (Poole 1972). Designation of domestication is a biological determination. Relative popularity or familiarity is often prejudicial but not germane. (2) RELATIVE AGGRESSIVENESS TOWARDS HUMANS The phobic reaction of humans towards novel animals is most intense when that animal is a carnivore, no matter how small. .Rough-and-tumble play considered cute when exhibited by puppies or kittens is sometimes viewed with suspicion or even alarm when committed by ferret kits. Because ferrets are often sold at the age at which they are just beginning to play hard with one -another, and because they include their human companions in their play, they have a reputation as "biters," But they are no more rowdy than other domestic carnivores, and since they are so small and lack the sharp retractable claws of a cat, are less physically capable of inflicting physical injury than are most dogs and cats. The few reported instances of injury to humans by ferrets are most often suspect, sometimes being demonstratively "edited" to maximize the sensationalist effect. Deliberate failure to distinguish polecats (which are sometimes raised for fur like fox) from ferrets is not unknown (Shimbo and Phillips, in press). But even with these compounding factors, and the greater likelihood that any ferret bite will be reported than would be a dog bite ("dog bites man is not news"), figures reported by public health agencies and university studies indicate that dogs annually inflict 18,000 times the number of bites requiring medical attention per 1 million animals than does the ferret (Shimbo and Phillips, in press), (3) RABIES QUESTION Like any warm-blooded animal, the ferret is susceptible, to some degree, to infection by rabies virus. Their susceptibility ranks low, however, closer to that of the opossum, skunk and birds than to the moderately resistant man and dog and highly susceptible cat, fox and cattle (Bisseru 1972). Only 13 cases of ferret rabies have been reported in the United States since reliable records began being kept in 1933 (CDC 1985a,1985b, 1986, Shimbo and Phillips, in press, Shimbo, personal communication) Only one of these is from Iowa (Russel Currier, Iowa Health Department, personal communication). It is quite difficult to induce the disease experimentally in ferrets. Only the Northeastern 2 1 /b wo r 1, ...........

It is quite difficult to induce the disease experimentally in ferrets. Only the Northeastern 2 1 /b wo �. II �I + 1. 1 ,I I fox strain of the virus is sufficiently effective for use in clinical trials and that produces infection in only 608 of animals inoculated (Charles Morton, unpublished). Ferrets which were infected by IM inoculations failed to shed virus in their saliva, indicating that they would serve as poor vectors of the disease even if afflicted (Blancou, Aubert, and Artois 1982). None were infected by consuming rabid prey (Bell and Moore 1971). Husbandry and maintenance practices for the ferret make them most unlikely to be exposed to rabies virus. They are almost always kept in close confinement, generally indoors, because they are so vulnerable. A lost pet ferret is so trusting that it walks up to any animal. As a result, most are killed by dogs, cats, or hysterical humans. The lucky ones are adopted by someone else before they succumb to dehydration or exposure, both of which usually happen quickly. If the common lifestyle of any animal is such that it might receive an automatic label of "rabies suspect," that animal is the domestic cat. The vast number of strays and half -tamed farm cats is generously augmented by the majority of housecats which are allowed to range outdoors, hunting wildlife for recreation. Note cats are highly susceptible to rabies. Yet they are exempt from the draconian measures applied to the ferret. Even suggesting such a thing would cross the mind of only the most overbearing of bureaucrats, and then only those very near retirement. Among domestic animals, cats and dogs are the species which account for the greatest numbers of cases of rabies. In Iowa, they are followed by cattle. Pigs, rabbits, goats, birds, hamsters, and gerbils have all been tested positive for rabies at some time in the United States. All are adopted out from the Iowa City shelter, as they are from almost any shelter. The argument is often made that no vaccine for rabies is approved for use in the ferret. At the moment that is true, although approval is expected in the spring of this year for at least one of the existing canine vaccines (Shimbo, personal communication.) Government approval is an expensive undertaking, and no pharmaceutical company has undertaken the task in the past for the ferret because the perceived market was too small. However, testing in small-scale studies and in foreign countries (which do not count in federal eyes) have already demonstrated the efficacy of available vaccines on the ferret (Halouch and Dousek 1986, Mainka, Heber and Schneider 1988, Kemmerer 1988, Hoover, Baldwin and Rupprecht 1989). Testing for federal government approval is ongoing, at the expense of concerned ferret owners. Many veterinarians will not inoculate ferrets for rabies at this time not because they lack confidence in the vaccines, but because they want their clients to be extremely cautious about putting their animals in situations in which they might bite defensively. The greater threat is from the public health bureaucracies, not the virus. This remains the case despite statements from the Centers for Disease Control which acknowledge the minimal threat of ferrets as rabies vectors to humans: 14 Orf i 1 I "IF, IN THE INVESTIGATION OF A FERRET BITE, THE PHYSICIAN CAN BE REASONABLY ASSURED THAT THE ANIMAL HAS HAD NO CONTACT WITH INDIGENOUS RABIES VECTORS AND WAS NOT VACCINATED WITH A MODIFIED LIVE VIRUS RABIES VACCINE, THEN THE LIKELIHOOD OF IID: FERRET'S HAVING RABIES SEALS E%TRnH:I.Y REMOTE, AND THE ANTI -RABIES TREATMENT OF THE BITE VICTIM WOULD NOI SEEM WARRANTED ON THE DIM HAND, IF THE FERRET HAS; POSSIBLY BEEN IN CONTACT WITH WILDLIFE, THEN RABIES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED." (1986) (4) GENERAL IGNORANCE OF ETIOLOGY OF RABIES IN FERRET Clinical symptoms of rabies in ferrets differs little from that in other carnivores (Fox 1988). It is much more difficult to note symptoms in birds (Bisseru 1972). Discussion of the disease in the ferret in the acknowledged major reference on ferret diseases includes the procedure for quarantining suspect animals (Fox 1988), SUMMARY The domestic ferret poses no extraordinary threat to the public and deserves to be treated in the same manner as other warm-blooded pets. As a small animal, rarely exceeding 4 pounds, it is unlikely to inflict severe injury. It is a poor host to the rabies virus and has never been recorded to have served as a vector of rabies to man at any time any place in the world. Few other species could make that claim- there is one confirmed case of a human contracting rabies from a goose (Bisseru 1972). Iowans have died of rabies transmitted from their cattle (various Annual Reports of the University Xygenlc Laboratory), but not from their ferrets, even though many older rural folk will tell of their youth when they kept ferrets in barns for rodent control. The problem of the domestic ferret is not one of biology but of human psychology, particularly the psychology of bureaucracy. Although in this country since 1887, they are still novel to most people, and to too many people, the reaction to something new is suspicion. Several of the officials spoken to in the course of hastily preparing this document expressed a personal aversion to ferrets, and to being puzzled as to why anyone would keep them as pets. Some top officials of the Humane Society of the U.S. have admitted that they are most opposed to the ferret on the grounds that anyone with a ferret is not adopting a homeless cat or dog as they should be. Arguments of the ferret being dangerous are easily countered with health department data-- to condemn ferrets one much logically also condemn cats and dogs, since they pose a much greater threat in all aspects. Cats and dogs are safe from the ire of the public official because their numbers and popularity give them political power. Ferret owners are relatively few and therefore politically vulnerable. Often they are unaware that the beloved pot they purchased legally in town is treated as a pariah by the animal control authorities in that same town. They know that there is no cogent reason for such an attitude and so they assume that their pet of choice is treated like those of the rest of the citizenry. They are truly horrified and dismayed to discover 4 1, r I t differently, usually when the life of some little animal hangs in the balance. All government, if it is good government, is in an endless struggle to balance the public welfare against private freedom. When government officials work to unjustifiably inflict their personal preferences and fears borne of ignorance on the public, they have lost that balance. Nothing is more cloying and infuriating than for an intelligent and responsible person to be stifled by governmental paternalism. The mission of the service section of a government is to serve, not to dictate. This being a community that revolves around a major research university, officially sanctioned xenophobia is particularly inappropriate. The main industry of this community is dispelling ignorance. The policy towards the ferret in force in this community is based primarily on the fear that accompanies ignorance. Information gathered by many scientific investigations is available, and some of it is summarized in this document for your convenience. Policy should be based on the best available evidence. We suggest that ferrets surrendered to the animal shelter be made available for. adoption. The only animals reasonably suspect for exposure to rabies should be those found running free in areas replete with wildlife and which have evidence of being attacked by some carnivore. The number of such animals will be vanishingly small. Ferrets are so little that when they tangle with a determined predator, they almost inevitably die. Since attacks by rabid carnivores are known to be maniacally relentless and savage, a ferret actually exposed to the virus almost never lives to become avector. 5 1408 i f r y i. i 'Y t y L i i REFERENCES Bell, J.F. and G.

According to Ms. Horton, the Animal Control Supervisor, her policy is to never let ferrets out for adoption-- all are killed. UNIQUENESS OF THE FERRET IN PLACEMENT POLICY This policy places the ferret (Mustela putorlus furo) in a unique position among domestic mammals. Finding new homes for lost and abandoned dogs and cats is the best-known part of the shelter's mission, but the shelter has also placed such animals as domestic rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, various pet birds, goats, and pigs (B. Horton, .personal communication). The ferret meets the definition in the Iowa City municipal code for a pet animal (Section 7-17, p. 487), and is sold in local pet stores. The mercurial rise in popularity of ferrets as pets necessitates the thoughtful examination of its fatal ostracism from all other warm-blooded domestic animals. REASONING OFFERED FOR THE EXCEPTIONAL POLICY After repeated requests, Ms. Horton supplied copies of the materials she attended to when formulating shelter policy. These were: (1) a 10 November 1983 memorandum from a Sue Pressman on what is considered an "acceptable pet" [annotated as "adopted by ICAS Jan. 15, 1984" by B. Horton] (2) a 10 -year survey (ending in 1981) of reported human injuries or health threats from Journal of the American Veterinary Medicine Association 180(4):382-383 (1982) (3) a note dated 6 September 1989 from Mary 7 of the Johnson County Health Department and (4) p. 63 from Winkler, W.G. Rabies Concepts for Medical Professionals. From these materials were drawn several conclusions, given below. (1) The ferret is not an "acceptable pet" because it, like the cockatiel and llama, is "in transition from the wild to the domesticated state", and is in a state described as an "evolutionary 'limbo"' (Pressman 1983). (2) Ferrets have been reported to bite and scratch with at least two cases of them being implicated in notable injury (JAVMA 1982). (3) Ferrets can contract rabies, and one case was confirmed in Iowa [making a 18 positive -to -tested rate] (Johnson County Health Department 1989). (4) It is generally not recommended to keep any animal involved in a biting incident, save a dog or cat, for a 10. day observation period because of a general ignorance of the time period before clinical symptoms develop in which virus is shed in the saliva (Winkler, no date available in material presented). I 1608 I' 1, ........... COUNTERING ARGUMENTS (1) STATUS OF THE FERRET The assessment of the ferret as a species just beginning to undergo domestication is patent falsity. The ferret has been domesticated for at least 2000 years (Thompson 1951, Clutton -Brock 1981, Mason 1984, Russell and Stunkard 1984), Their breeding has long been controlled and directed by man, resulting in a myriad of color variations, size classes, and morphological and behavioral differences from the progenitor species, the European polecat (Poole 1972). Designation of domestication is a biological determination. Relative popularity or familiarity is often prejudicial but not germane. (2) RELATIVE AGGRESSIVENESS TOWARDS HUMANS The phobic reaction of humans towards novel animals is most intense when that animal is a carnivore, no matter how small. .Rough-and-tumble play considered cute when exhibited by puppies or kittens is sometimes viewed with suspicion or even alarm when committed by ferret kits. Because ferrets are often sold at the age at which they are just beginning to play hard with one -another, and because they include their human companions in their play, they have a reputation as "biters," But they are no more rowdy than other domestic carnivores, and since they are so small and lack the sharp retractable claws of a cat, are less physically capable of inflicting physical injury than are most dogs and cats. The few reported instances of injury to humans by ferrets are most often suspect, sometimes being demonstratively "edited" to maximize the sensationalist effect. Deliberate failure to distinguish polecats (which are sometimes raised for fur like fox) from ferrets is not unknown (Shimbo and Phillips, in press). But even with these compounding factors, and the greater likelihood that any ferret bite will be reported than would be a dog bite ("dog bites man is not news"), figures reported by public health agencies and university studies indicate that dogs annually inflict 18,000 times the number of bites requiring medical attention per 1 million animals than does the ferret (Shimbo and Phillips, in press), (3) RABIES QUESTION Like any warm-blooded animal, the ferret is susceptible, to some degree, to infection by rabies virus. Their susceptibility ranks low, however, closer to that of the opossum, skunk and birds than to the moderately resistant man and dog and highly susceptible cat, fox and cattle (Bisseru 1972). Only 13 cases of ferret rabies have been reported in the United States since reliable records began being kept in 1933 (CDC 1985a,1985b, 1986, Shimbo and Phillips, in press, Shimbo, personal communication) Only one of these is from Iowa (Russel Currier, Iowa Health Department, personal communication). It is quite difficult to induce the disease experimentally in ferrets. Only the Northeastern 2 1 /b wo r 1, ...........

It is quite difficult to induce the disease experimentally in ferrets. Only the Northeastern 2 1 /b wo �. II �I + 1. 1 ,I I fox strain of the virus is sufficiently effective for use in clinical trials and that produces infection in only 608 of animals inoculated (Charles Morton, unpublished). Ferrets which were infected by IM inoculations failed to shed virus in their saliva, indicating that they would serve as poor vectors of the disease even if afflicted (Blancou, Aubert, and Artois 1982). None were infected by consuming rabid prey (Bell and Moore 1971). Husbandry and maintenance practices for the ferret make them most unlikely to be exposed to rabies virus. They are almost always kept in close confinement, generally indoors, because they are so vulnerable. A lost pet ferret is so trusting that it walks up to any animal. As a result, most are killed by dogs, cats, or hysterical humans. The lucky ones are adopted by someone else before they succumb to dehydration or exposure, both of which usually happen quickly. If the common lifestyle of any animal is such that it might receive an automatic label of "rabies suspect," that animal is the domestic cat. The vast number of strays and half -tamed farm cats is generously augmented by the majority of housecats which are allowed to range outdoors, hunting wildlife for recreation. Note cats are highly susceptible to rabies. Yet they are exempt from the draconian measures applied to the ferret. Even suggesting such a thing would cross the mind of only the most overbearing of bureaucrats, and then only those very near retirement. Among domestic animals, cats and dogs are the species which account for the greatest numbers of cases of rabies. In Iowa, they are followed by cattle. Pigs, rabbits, goats, birds, hamsters, and gerbils have all been tested positive for rabies at some time in the United States. All are adopted out from the Iowa City shelter, as they are from almost any shelter. The argument is often made that no vaccine for rabies is approved for use in the ferret. At the moment that is true, although approval is expected in the spring of this year for at least one of the existing canine vaccines (Shimbo, personal communication.) Government approval is an expensive undertaking, and no pharmaceutical company has undertaken the task in the past for the ferret because the perceived market was too small. However, testing in small-scale studies and in foreign countries (which do not count in federal eyes) have already demonstrated the efficacy of available vaccines on the ferret (Halouch and Dousek 1986, Mainka, Heber and Schneider 1988, Kemmerer 1988, Hoover, Baldwin and Rupprecht 1989). Testing for federal government approval is ongoing, at the expense of concerned ferret owners. Many veterinarians will not inoculate ferrets for rabies at this time not because they lack confidence in the vaccines, but because they want their clients to be extremely cautious about putting their animals in situations in which they might bite defensively. The greater threat is from the public health bureaucracies, not the virus. This remains the case despite statements from the Centers for Disease Control which acknowledge the minimal threat of ferrets as rabies vectors to humans: 14 Orf i 1 I "IF, IN THE INVESTIGATION OF A FERRET BITE, THE PHYSICIAN CAN BE REASONABLY ASSURED THAT THE ANIMAL HAS HAD NO CONTACT WITH INDIGENOUS RABIES VECTORS AND WAS NOT VACCINATED WITH A MODIFIED LIVE VIRUS RABIES VACCINE, THEN THE LIKELIHOOD OF IID: FERRET'S HAVING RABIES SEALS E%TRnH:I.Y REMOTE, AND THE ANTI -RABIES TREATMENT OF THE BITE VICTIM WOULD NOI SEEM WARRANTED ON THE DIM HAND, IF THE FERRET HAS; POSSIBLY BEEN IN CONTACT WITH WILDLIFE, THEN RABIES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED." (1986) (4) GENERAL IGNORANCE OF ETIOLOGY OF RABIES IN FERRET Clinical symptoms of rabies in ferrets differs little from that in other carnivores (Fox 1988). It is much more difficult to note symptoms in birds (Bisseru 1972). Discussion of the disease in the ferret in the acknowledged major reference on ferret diseases includes the procedure for quarantining suspect animals (Fox 1988), SUMMARY The domestic ferret poses no extraordinary threat to the public and deserves to be treated in the same manner as other warm-blooded pets. As a small animal, rarely exceeding 4 pounds, it is unlikely to inflict severe injury. It is a poor host to the rabies virus and has never been recorded to have served as a vector of rabies to man at any time any place in the world. Few other species could make that claim- there is one confirmed case of a human contracting rabies from a goose (Bisseru 1972). Iowans have died of rabies transmitted from their cattle (various Annual Reports of the University Xygenlc Laboratory), but not from their ferrets, even though many older rural folk will tell of their youth when they kept ferrets in barns for rodent control. The problem of the domestic ferret is not one of biology but of human psychology, particularly the psychology of bureaucracy.

Arguments of the ferret being dangerous are easily countered with health department data-- to condemn ferrets one much logically also condemn cats and dogs, since they pose a much greater threat in all aspects. Cats and dogs are safe from the ire of the public official because their numbers and popularity give them political power. Ferret owners are relatively few and therefore politically vulnerable. Often they are unaware that the beloved pot they purchased legally in town is treated as a pariah by the animal control authorities in that same town. They know that there is no cogent reason for such an attitude and so they assume that their pet of choice is treated like those of the rest of the citizenry. They are truly horrified and dismayed to discover 4 1, r I t differently, usually when the life of some little animal hangs in the balance. All government, if it is good government, is in an endless struggle to balance the public welfare against private freedom. When government officials work to unjustifiably inflict their personal preferences and fears borne of ignorance on the public, they have lost that balance. Nothing is more cloying and infuriating than for an intelligent and responsible person to be stifled by governmental paternalism. The mission of the service section of a government is to serve, not to dictate. This being a community that revolves around a major research university, officially sanctioned xenophobia is particularly inappropriate. The main industry of this community is dispelling ignorance. The policy towards the ferret in force in this community is based primarily on the fear that accompanies ignorance. Information gathered by many scientific investigations is available, and some of it is summarized in this document for your convenience. Policy should be based on the best available evidence. We suggest that ferrets surrendered to the animal shelter be made available for. adoption. The only animals reasonably suspect for exposure to rabies should be those found running free in areas replete with wildlife and which have evidence of being attacked by some carnivore. The number of such animals will be vanishingly small. Ferrets are so little that when they tangle with a determined predator, they almost inevitably die. Since attacks by rabid carnivores are known to be maniacally relentless and savage, a ferret actually exposed to the virus almost never lives to become avector. 5 1408 i f r y i. i 'Y t y L i i REFERENCES Bell, J.F. and G.

We wish to have a representative from the City of Iowa City serve as an ex -officio member of our board of directors. A representative from the Broadband Telecommunications Commission has been at most of our meetings as the initial board prepared to incorporate. We would be pleased if a member of this commission could continue with the ongoing board. We hope that the City of Iowa City and PAN will build a mutually beneficial relationship. Sincerely, l Kristin M. Evanson tp5.2 0 City of Iowa City I-� MEMORANDUM Date: September 8, 1989 To: City Council From: City Manager Re: Housing Policy Both national and local studies have shown that a majority of low and moderate Income households are not only spending more than 30% of their Income on housing, but are growing more and more limited with respect to housing choice. In today's atmosphere of federal deficits, complex public policy issues, and the variety of interests involved in housing policy, I believe It is essential for our community to work with state, federal and private organi- zations to achieve a balanced and effective partnership if we are ever to hope to achieve a goal of safe and decent housing for all of our citizens. The housing goal of the City as stated in the Comprehensive Plan is 'Yo meet varying housing needs of its citizens, and to ensure to the extent possible, safe and affordable housing in a pleasant environment." In order to achieve this goal I believe it is necessary to better coor- dinate our housing programs and tie them more directly Into our community's social service network as well as creating greater opportunities for Involvement by the private sector. The following represents a brief overview of basic housing -related programs in our community and the city's involvement in those programs. i. Section 8 and Public Housing. Currently the city government assists, through the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development funds, approximately loo low Income households. These households are provided certificates and vouchers to allow Income eligible tenants to seek housing in the private rental market. Certificates are based upon the difference of 30% of the tenant's annual income and the rent charged by the landlord which cannot exceed a determined fair market rent. Vouchers provide assistance of the difference between 30% of the tenant's annual Income up to a predetermined payment standard, the tenant paying the remainder. Additionally, the City owns and manages 62 units of public housing. I I K 2. Housing Rehabilitation. Approximately $300,000 Is annually allocated to the Housing e Rehabilitation Program from the federal Community Development Block Grant program. This program provides assistance through low interest loans, deferred loans and grants to income eligible households. Approximately 100 households are assisted on an (, annual basis. Projects include comprehensive rehab, paint and siding, emergency repair, weatherization and residential accessibility Improvements. The City also assists owners of rental property with repairs through the federally funded rental rehabilitation program. Approximately $80,000 is spent annually with a similar amount being created through the leveraging of the private funds. 3. Human Services. There are more than 30 non-profit organizations in Iowa City, Johnson County and the United Way human service network. A variety of services are provided ranging from home health care and shared housing for elderly and physically disabled residents to crisis Intervention and emergency housing placement. The City allocates more than $200,000 annually, of which $90,000 in CDBG funds are utilized, The United Way and Johnson County contribute over $1.8 million to support these agencies. These organizations are professionally staffed with individuals that are highly trained in medical, a social care, but also experienced in the development and management of a variety of other programs. Decent, safe and affordable housing is certainly a primary concern of these social service professionals for their clients. After reviewing these existing programs, I believe it is necessary to expand and better coor- dinate these programs in order to more effectively address the varied needs of low -moderate Income households in Iowa City. In evaluating the increasing needs, the federal disinvestment, and limited local reoources, I would recommend to the City Council the following initiatives which will hopefully lead to a comprehensive housing g policy for the City of Iowa City. I. CREATION OF AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING TASK FORCE i To have a successful comprehensive housing policy In any community, the financial and I i administrative cooperation of local lenders, developers, builders, community organize - tons and public officials is required, The active participation of these groups in a "Housing Task Force" would serve as a forum to review and provide recommendations with respect to these crucial community issues. The Task Force could provide direction is ;L I I r k i 3 to our community leadership as to how to better coordinate the various public and private organizations providing assistance. The development of private -public partnerships involving local lenders, developers, realtors, and contractors with non-profit organizations, local, State and federal agencies Is necessary, not only for political support but for administrative and financial contribu- tion. These private sector participants could contribute their expertise In the develop- ment, financing, and management of housing programs specific to Iowa City's needs. II, COORDINATION OF THE HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WITH THE EXISTING HUMAN SERVICES DELIVERY SYSTEM Low and moderate Income persons requiring housing assistance often have a variety of interrelated needs, such as employment, training, child-care, in-home health care and counseling services. Currently there is a well -organized and cooperative human services network into which, I believe, housing services could be readily integrated. A "case-managemenP approach to a household's needs and the expansion of neighbor- hood centered activities Instead of merely "shelter placement" may give a person or family a chance to move out of the "publicly" assisted life. Wherever practical, public assistance in housing should be viewed as a transitional rather than permanent situa- tion. III. DEVELOPING NEW CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMS Proceeding with the development of the proposed First Avenue housing project to hopefully produce six single-family homes could provide an incentive for builders to construct more affordable housing. With the virtual elimination of federal financial Incentives for the construction of low and moderate Income housing, no where is there a greater challenge to local governments. There are low Interest loans and grants available through the Iowa Finance Authority (IFA) for development costs as well as mortgage money for first-time home buyers. There are local lenders currently participat- Ing in the IFA mortgage program. A FHA mortgage could finance the sale but even more households could be Included if they qualified for the low -Interest loans that IFA provides. Cooperative programs need to be developed to assist in making housing /G3/ i i �l j ,r I� i i 4 affordable. The federal Community Re -investment Act can provide guidelines to banks concerning how they might fulfill their reinvestment obligation, with the benefits of these decisions accruing to a much needed affordable housing market. The recently approved savings and loan bail-out has specific language In the legislation requiring i expanded community Investment. The First Avenue project could also serve as a model both in construction and financing methods for other developers and builders and offer an opportunity for the Task Force to challenge our community to provide the resources for this development plan. There are builders Interested in working with the City in producing affordable (not inferior) developments. Additionally, the City, through its Housing and Inspection Services I Department, could educate and Inform potential developers and builders of the various j cost-saving development measures, including subdivision regulations, possible density bonuses as well as construction alternatives. Each of these Issues would be critical to the comprehensive review the Housing Task Force would undertake. IV. EXPANSION OF THE HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM The federally -funded housing rehabilitation programs assist low -moderate income 1 homeowners (up to 80% of median Income) in making improvements to their homes. Many households between the 80-125% median income range cannot afford con- siderable repairs to their existing homes or cannot purchase an affordable home to fix up, because the combined mortgage payments and home Improvement loan costs would make the monthly housing payments too high for their income, i I A rehab program for homeowners and potential homeowners within 80-125% of median Income could be locally financed through lender contributions, housing bond issues and i City contributions and could be established as a revolving loan fund that would be continually replenished. Being locally funded, we could set up and control the require- ments as well as the recordkeeping measures. Local lenders could provide the loan servicing, therefore, reduce City staff time Involved in such tasks. The program would be flexible and could be set up to serve existing homeowners or combined with FHANA, IFA and conventional mortgages for home purchasers. Many opportunities exist to creat locally financed and managed housing assistance programs. ®I AN i 5 V. HOUSING ADVOCACY In evaluating the need to expand housing opportunities for low and moderate income homeowners and to Integrate housing services with our community's human services organizations, we have in effect created a program of housing advocacy whereby we recognize the critical role housing plays in our community's social service support network. Through a policy of housing advocacy, we would work with lenders, developers, builders and community organizations to build effective partnerships in providing housing and related services to those In need of assistance. Additionally, a liaison would be created between federal, state and local organizations to assess programs and hopefully increase our opportunity to provide housing opportunities to low and moderate Income citizens. We would need to work toward coordinating our city planning efforts, the Department of Housing and Inspection Services, and the Department of Finance, as well as other governmental jurisdictions, to help develop an effective affordable housing program addressing (advocating) the needs of our citizens. This advocacy policy will Initially need to be carried forth through the efforts of the City staff representatives, With the upcoming retirement of the Housing Coordinator position, the time is now right to restructure and redirect our housing initiatives and better coordinate the community support services available and create a comprehensive policy. This Is not to be critical of our housing efforts or the work of our staff to date, but merely taking advantage of opportunities, addressing current community needs and redirecting our energies toward the problems created by the diminishing role of the federal government. The National League of Cities, as the Council is aware, has provided much of the data concerning housing Issues, and I believe have succinctly identified the nature of the affordable housing problem: 1. Low-income Housing Preservation. HUD projects that over next five years some 7oo,000 unit of low-income housing could be lost as rental assistance contracts expire. Given the potential for a lack of federal resources to renew these contracts, communities could face the loss of their low -Income housing stock. I I I J is I i j J` t ! I� i 0 2. Tax Policy, Since 1980 federal tax policy appears to have dominated federal housing policy. Incentives that once made affordable housing attractive to developers have all but disappeared. 3. Community and Economic Development. The CDBG program Is due to expire on September 30, 1989. With termination of Federal Revenue Sharing and Urban Development Action Grants, cities are left with only one primary community development grant program - CDBG. 4. "Summit Agreement". In April, the President and Congressional leadership announced a two-year deficit reduction agreement. This "Summit Agreement," as it has become known, puts limits on appropriations, tax and reconciliation bills for FY90. It does not make housing and community development a national priority. Housing affects so many of our community's policies and standards that it is difficult to Identify each and every Influential factor; however, we can all generally agree that safe and decent housing should be available to all citizens. The affordability of such housing is approaching a critical stage. The housing taskforce would be encouraged to deal immediately with the issue of housing for our community's most needy, however, I am sure the task force will also find Itself, over the long run, confronted with other related housing Issues. These will include the importance of housing to encourage our growing senior population to be able to maintain an Independent existence. Additionally, our neighboring communities need to be approached as to how they can share in providing housing opportunities with the necessary local public services support. This will allow persons of low and moderate Income to seek out and secure housing and other economic opportunities in these communities. These are complex Issues and the Initiation of a comprehensive housing policy closely tied to our community's social service network I believe is critical, if we are to be able to withstand the continuing decline in federal policy support in the face of a growing national need. This matter will be scheduled for an upcoming City Council Informal session, tp4-10 cc: Dept.

This report is very similar to the financial trend analysis prepared in September of 1986. This report represents eight years of historical data, the current budget, and two projection years with respect to expenditures and revenues. In that we are about to begin i preparation of the FY91 budget and in order to prepare a financial plan to satisfy the City Council's policy directives, it will be helpful to my office if we are provided with your guidance 1{ as it relates to the City's financial commitments to the operation of the transit system: j !' In this review, a rather straightforward financial trend analysis has been utilized. This analysis will hopefully enable you to review and discuss spending and revenue trends associated with transit operations and reach some conclusions as to how we can finance a level of transit service acceptable to the public within available resources. In making the financial projections, It is assumed that the level of services would remain substantially unchanged unless we know specifically of an upcoming state or federal policy change which could significantly alter our ti program of service. At the time of preparation of this report, we were hoping to be able to indicate the ridership decline had ended. We are at this time unable to predict with any certainty that ridership has, in fact, reached a point where further declines would not occur. You will note from the ridership figures that we may be approaching a point of leveling off. Bus passengers have declined from 2,303,681 in FY82 to 1,353,157 in FY89, During the same period of time, our more specialized transportation services, SEATS, and taxi service have Increased ridership from 21,361 to 44,719 during the same period. 1 /G 3.z 7. As you review this information, please keep in mind we are into the third year of an informal three-year policy of determining if Increased marketing efforts could, at the very least, stabilize our ridership figures. Unfortunately, during that time, the Federal Government has continued 1 to send signals of deeper cuts in transit subsidization particularly as they relate to capital acquisition. I -I ., The attached analysis of expenditures, revenue and ridership are based on information ii provided from the City's budget files. Additionally, to assist you in your policy analysis, we ,. have provided a number of indicators or measurements to demonstrate trends to assist in your review. f0 Labor. (Note Exhibit 1 starting on page 5.) This component of the expenditure program is likely to continue to Increase if measured against economic trends, inflation, consumer price index, and other factors directly associated with collective bargaining. It is likely that labor will generally run close to the overall cost of living trends; however, as a percentage of the operating budget, It remains relatively consistent. The FY90 budget indicated that labor and benefits would be approximately 53.6% of expenditures for transit operations. The eight year historical average for labor and benefits as a proportion of expenditures is 55.9%. We make the assumption that labor and benefits should grow at an annual rate of approximately 5%. Equipment Maintenance, (Note Exhibit 1 starting on page 5,) The cost of maintaining the transit fleet became a cause of concern a number of years ago, particularly due to dramatic Increases in costs in FY86. The expenditures for equipment maintenance have been reworked and we are able to demonstrate stability in the cost of our equipment maintenance. The Introduction of several new buses Into our fleet and the reduction of our total number of units has also attributed to these savings. Equipment maintenance is a closely scrutinized expense and therefore we feel comfortable with the projections, assuming a continuing equipment replacement program, the equipment maintenance expenses should run fairly constant in the near term. There is, however, a serious concern with respect to the potential for dramatic fluctuation in the price of fuel. We have had experience where fuel was as low as 390 a gallon to as high as 90+0 a gallon, Our FY90 budget reflects a cost of 900 per gallon. In that the transit system uses an estimated 113,000 gallons of fuel per year, you can appreciate the fact that this item alone, again beyond your direct policy control, can have a dramatic effect upon the costs of our transit service. Additionally, as the Federal Government moves to collect i I -I :J u I II ; ' i! r I Labor. (Note Exhibit 1 starting on page 5.)

Additionally, as the Federal Government moves to collect i I -I I II ; ' j I I 1 i I r federal taxes from municipalities with respect to fuel sources, this will simply exacerbate the problem of our ability to manage our fuel costs. Little relief appears to be in sight. i r In combination, labor and equipment maintenance account for 82.1% of the operating budget , for FY89. The eight year average is 87.5%. #rr F We have included numerous financial and ridership representations which record and project I i the trends in the transit system's financial condition, Not noted directly, but part of the financial considerations in the three-year financial plan, is the fact that in FY94, three buses are due for i•i replacement and in FY96, ten buses are due to be replaced, These are $600,000 and W, $2,000,000 capital acquisitions and in order to begin to set aside the appropriate replacement -; revenues, funds have been incorporated in the amended financial plan. This setaside assumes the continuation of the 80/20 federal/local capital assistance program. f Revenues for transit as shown in the exhibit starting on page 9 are basically two groups: ! operating revenues, which are fares, interest income, and miscellaneous Income, and non- operating revenues, which involve the subsidies and other assistance provided from local (� government property taxes, contracts with other Jurisdictions, and state and federal aid. The I analysis demonstrates a declining portion of operating revenue, although above national averages, and increasing property tax and related local support. State and federal operating I aid has remained relatively constant. Please note that Federal Revenue Sharing, although federal aid, was considered as a local resource due to the financial flexibility that was afforded f the City Council in distributing these monies. In FY82, farebox or operating revenues I j` amounted to 46.7% and non-operating to 53.3%. In FY89, the operating revenues had declined �. to 30.8% and non-operating increasing to 69.2%. Property taxes, both general and the transit I levy commitments, have Increased from FY82 to FY89 from $95,617 to $1,024,445. The expenditure analysis (page 12) summarizes the costs per passenger. As you will note with the declining bus ridership, the cost per passenger has Increased substantially from $.65 in FY82 to $1.26 in FY69. The cost per SEATS/tax[ passenger has Increased from $2.52 to $3.03 during the same period. The Increase in the property tax share of the cost for operating the transit system is of significant concern. Exhibit 6 on page 22 demonstrates the impact of the property tax as the i ' primary source of revenue for our transit system. Proportionately speaking, the FY82 financial L 3 /G3z r r commitment from the general purpose levy amounted to 1.6% of general taxes levied. By ! I FY89, that had increased to 4.1% with our projections showing an increase to 8.1% by FY92. j I Simply taken, the property tax commitment to the operations of the transit system have grown significantly and disproportionately to the commitment of property tax to the operation of other government services. The concern is these funds work directly against a state -Imposed $8.10 levy maximum and therefore it can be interpreted that if the growth were to continue, a position could be reached in the future whereby other services and their property tax needs would be In direct competition with the increasing transit subsidies. You will note that the share i r property tax by the representative services as shown on the exhibit on page 26 demonstrates f j 14 relative consistency throughout the historical and budgetary 9 ry projections shown in this report. The primary financial concerns from this report are as follows: �+ 1 • The ability of the City to provide e for the long-term financial health of its transit system. 2. The ability to meet capital needs in the face of declining financial interest on the part of the federal government with respect to its participation in the purchase of capital equipment. 3. The utilization of a limited tax ability while transit subsidies grow disproportionately to other City services. There are many variables with respect to how you can measure the financial condition of a I� city's transit operations. Hopefully, this report will provide you with sufficient documentation to assist in your policy deliberation. Please feel free to request further elaboration on these financial statements as well as any other factors pertinent to your respective Interest In measuring the transit system and Its financial health, This matter will be scheduled for an upcoming City Council Informal session. -I cc: Dept.

Z�f I September 7, 1989 Mr. Duane Rohovit P.O. Box 720 Iowa State Bank Building, Suite 311 Iowa City, Iowa 52244 Dear Mr. Rohovit: CITY OF IOWA CITY In response to your August 31 letter concerning the picketing at Emma Goldman Clinic, I am sure you can appreciate the fact that we work to assure adequate opportunities for all responsible groups to conduct their First Amendment rights and at the same time we do our best to assure the safety and freedom to move about for all our citizens. With emotional issues we must make an extra effort to assure not only that individuals and groups may express their views in utilizing the public right-of-way, but additionally assure it is done in a responsible fashion. I have researched the matter concerning the arrest of the gentleman who allegedly trespassed on the Emma Goldman Clinic property on Tuesday. August 29. 1 am unaware of the opinions you express about other members of the Defenders of Life group, but I am aware that Mr. Dix appears to have acted on his own initiative. While his alleged actions could be credited to the group picketing at that time, it is difficult for me as the responsible authority in issuing right- of-way use permits to assume this instance is in any way a recognition of overall general conduct of the group, Defenders of Life. I am sure you can further appreciate that we receive complaints from individuals on both sides of this issue as to the conduct of each other. We will continue to issue permits to those parties wishing to conduct peaceful picketing. The permits will be more limited for both parties in that we are experiencing an increased frequency of complaint about their respective conduct. If it is clear that a group or an individual blatantly abuses the right-of-way usage permitting process of the City government, I assure you we will take whatever action necessary within the law to reduce the opportunities for those individuals to disrupt the freedom of others through the use of the public right-of-way.

Washington St. Iowa City, Iowa 52240 RE: Picketing at The Emma Goldman Clinic Dear Mr. Atkinst I am writing on behalf of my clients, The Emma Goldman Clinic. For some time now the clinic has been Picketed by.members of Defenders For Life, a group apparently organized by Carolyn Fordyce., The clinic understands the First Amendment Rights of persons to peaceably present their views. However, this particular group of people have indicated both in the press and by their actions that they no longer wish to peaceably exercise their First Amendment Rights. On Tuesday, August 29, 1989, a member of the Defenders For Life group trespassed on clinic property and blocked clinic doors causing access in and out of the building to be cut off creating a potential hazard and interfering with the patients who were using the clinic. This person had to.be arrested by police officers'in order to remove himself from the clinic property. Ms. Fordyce and other members of Defenders For Life encouraged and supported their member's action. Members of Defenders For Life and others have continued to impede and harass patients seeking health care at the clinic. We are asking that the City of Iowa City refuse to grant Carolyn Fordyce or other members of Defenders For Life any further permits to picket on the property of The Emma Goldman Clinic. It is clear from their words and deeds that they no longer intend to peaceably demonstrate as allowed under the First �`4 I A Amendment to the United States Constitution. Instead they Intend to trespass, harass, and intimidate patients and staff of the clinic. Clearly, the Iowa City Ordinance does not allow such conduct and permits should f not be issued to groups who engage in such behavior. i If you wish any further documentation of the claims made in this letter or have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Sing ly, ne Rohovit Date To City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM September 6, 1989 Housing Commission From: City Manager Re: Review of Rehabilitation Program As you will recall, in July of 1988 a request was made to the Commission to amend your policies with respect to the review of each and every housing rehabilitation project over $5,000. At that time, we advised it was our opinion that housing rehab projects were so restricted by federal and City guidelines it was not neces- sary for the Commission to require their approval/disapproval of these applica- tions. Additionally, it was felt the review process was overly time consuming. We recently concluded a HUD review of our operating programs and policies which Included the housing rehabilitation program. They have, following my exit interview with the HUD representatives, again directed that this policy on the part of the Housing Commission be amended. They have gone so far as to make note of this in our annual audit review, copy attached. As I am sure you can appreciate the fact, we take pride in our ability to satisfy state and federal regulations with respect to the operations of the many programs which are delegated to us and a HUD audit finding is, at the very least, a managerial disappointment. I would again ask for your support so I may recommend officially to the City Council an amendment to your policies with respect to the review of the housing rehabilitation programs. If you feel It would be helpful, I would be happy to attend an upcoming meeting. Please let me know. cc: City Council Marianne Milkman Don Schmelser Doug Boothroy bj/pct If i i t 4 MONITORING SUMMARY Iowa City, Iowa May 16-19, 1989 PROGRAM PROGRESS During the period of January 1, 1989, through May 19, 1989, the City had $1,072,010 of Entitlement Grant funds available for use. This figure consisted •of 'the City's fiscal year (FY) 1989 grant award of $607,000 and $465,010 of grant funds carried over from the, prior program year. As of the date of our visit, the City had expended $348,540. The most significant accomplishment is the completion of the Benton Creek Storm Sewer project which was delayed for two years. Other major accomplishments include housing rehabilitation and Hillcrest Family Services renovation. Overall, progress is acceptable considering that $5,442,512 (89 percent) of the .cumulative Entitlement amount has been drawn down from the Letter of Credit. ELIGIBILITY AND COMPLIANCE WITH NATIONAL OBJECTIVES The following FY 1988 and 1989 projects were reviewed for compliancewith the subject criteria: Benton Creek Storm Sewer, Handicare Park, Housing Rehabilitation, Elderly Services Agency, Hillcrest Family Services Renovation, and Youth Homes Acquisition. An on-site review as well as documentation maintained in the files supports that these activities meet the requirements of 24 CFR 570.208(a) and (b). Elderly Services Agency carries out the Small Repair Program for low- income, elderly, and handicapped persons. Each file reviewed contained the requiredincome verification.. In the FY 1988 Grantee Performance Report (CPA), the City claimed that Ralston Creek Redevelopment and Blackhawk Mini Park addressed the National Objective of elimination of slums and blight in an urban renewal area. Urban renewal plans including maps were reviewed and we conclude that these activities meet the requirements of 24 CFA 570.208(b)(3). All other FY 1989 activity files were reviewed, and based on documentation contained therein, each activity either benefits low/moderate income persons or aids in the elimination of slums/blight. Technical assistance was provided in the area of properly completing the Activity Summary (HUD -4949.2) of the GPA, including activity classification and the appropriate letter designation for compliance with National Objectives. i it i ,I i 4 MONITORING SUMMARY Iowa City, Iowa May 16-19, 1989 PROGRAM PROGRESS During the period of January 1, 1989, through May 19, 1989, the City had $1,072,010 of Entitlement Grant funds available for use.

We note that agreements with agencies were amended to include the frequency and method of payment. Our review concludes that payments are being made on a reimbursable basis, and source documentation is adequate to support payments. Subrecipients: One subrecipient, Elderly Services Agency, was reviewed on-site for compliance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-110, Management Systems and Procurement Procedures. No irregularities were found. Source documentation to support payments is excellent. MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE Community Development staff is to be commended and congratulated for their efforts in achieving well over 200 percent of the City's suggested target of $22,000 through the third quarter. We are convinced that if it was not for dedication and perseverence of staff, this target could not have been achieved. Again, congratulations. HOUSING REHABILITATION The purpose of the monitoring was to assess the City's administration of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Rental Rehabilitation (RR), and the Section 312 Programs. The review covered three main areas: overall program management, file reviews, and on-site inspections of work in progress and/or completed. Overall Program Management: The City has the administrative capability to carry out the programs necessary to achieve its property rehabilitation goals. All programs reviewed are in compliance with Federal and local regulations and standards except for the two findings noted on page 6. Staff requested that we review this area and make recommendations as to how they can meet the needs and demands for rehabilitation assistance as well as keep up with the volume of paperwork presently required to administer the programs. While the paperwork required for compliance with Federal regulations will remain substantially as -is, we again. make the.. following recommendations: 1. Elimination of the time-consuming and burdensome Drocess of having Ing commission review all applications for rehabilitation V e, under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) which exceed $5,000. 'c. �iI 1'. 2. 3 Please__provide this office in writing how the City intends to address this concern Utilization of a computer to produce deficiency lists, work write- ups, cost estimates, and bid documents. Initially there would be "down-time" while the specifications, costs, format, etc., are designed and loaded. In the long run, however. considerable time savings would accrue as the Rehabilitation Technicians could input their inspections directly into the coumputer producing both the cost estimates and bid documents. In order to determine exactly what the City needs in the way of specification writing software, it is recommended the City contact Ms. Gaye Foster, Executive Director of the Davenport, Iowa, Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) organization. This NH5 has developed a specifications writing program which plays on IBM/IBM compatible hardware and has sold it to several of our Cities. The cost for the program is in the neighborhood of $150-200. From this, the City can determine if this simple program is sufficient for its needs or if a more sophisticated system should ultimately be purchased. The initial outlay for this small program is minimal and leaves the City in the position of being able to purchase a different program if necessary. Ms. Foster can be reached at 319/324-1556. �E i j i While production has increaned because the Rehabilitation Technician previous part-time is now a full-time employee, the needs and demands for assistance under the specialistsworkingvarious programs have these at full but toutdistancing Y. falling further are their capacity to II (( deliver.

The first arriving engine company determined the "smell" was not smoke but was instead, a chemical smell. The Incident Commander on scene ordered an evacuation and called for the Johnson County Hazardous Materials Team. The Hazardous Materials Team was able to identify the chemical and stabilize the situation. The chemical released was a fumigant used in the greenhouse located on the top floor of the east wing of the building. There were no serious injuries or illness caused by the release. Although it is relatively new, the Hazardous Materials Team did an excellent job. The lack of serious injuries can be directly attributed to the professionalism demonstrated by the Team.

The Incident Commander on scene ordered an evacuation and called for the Johnson County Hazardous Materials Team. The Hazardous Materials Team was able to identify the chemical and stabilize the situation. The chemical released was a fumigant used in the greenhouse located on the top floor of the east wing of the building. There were no serious injuries or illness caused by the release. Although it is relatively new, the Hazardous Materials Team did an excellent job. The lack of serious injuries can be directly attributed to the professionalism demonstrated by the Team. Our cooperative efforts with all the agencies involved continues to benefit all of us. cc: Steve Hayslett, JCHMT I I �I a I , i I 6c, , 6 5 62-6C2 < September 1, 1989 Dear Sir: CITY OF IOWA CITY The construction of the Sludge Force Main is complete along Stevens --- Drive -and -Waterfront Drive.

The funds were made available through the Hunger Prevention Act of 1988 and are to be used for support costs in FLP operation. This grant will make it possible to provide a monthly stipend of $100.00 during 1990 to the next FLP director. Responsibilities include writing this newsletter, scheduling teams and coordination of donations and supplies. It could be done mostly from home and would be an opportunity to provide a much needed service and supplement a household income.

In today's atmosphere of federal deficits, complex public policy issues, and the variety of interests involved in housing policy, I believe It is essential for our community to work with state, federal and private organi- zations to achieve a balanced and effective partnership if we are ever to hope to achieve a goal of safe and decent housing for all of our citizens. The housing goal of the City as stated in the Comprehensive Plan is 'Yo meet varying housing needs of its citizens, and to ensure to the extent possible, safe and affordable housing in a pleasant environment." In order to achieve this goal I believe it is necessary to better coor- dinate our housing programs and tie them more directly Into our community's social service network as well as creating greater opportunities for Involvement by the private sector. The following represents a brief overview of basic housing -related programs in our community and the city's involvement in those programs. i. Section 8 and Public Housing. Currently the city government assists, through the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development funds, approximately loo low Income households. These households are provided certificates and vouchers to allow Income eligible tenants to seek housing in the private rental market. Certificates are based upon the difference of 30% of the tenant's annual income and the rent charged by the landlord which cannot exceed a determined fair market rent. Vouchers provide assistance of the difference between 30% of the tenant's annual Income up to a predetermined payment standard, the tenant paying the remainder. Additionally, the City owns and manages 62 units of public housing. I I K 2. Housing Rehabilitation. Approximately $300,000 Is annually allocated to the Housing e Rehabilitation Program from the federal Community Development Block Grant program. This program provides assistance through low interest loans, deferred loans and grants to income eligible households. Approximately 100 households are assisted on an (, annual basis. Projects include comprehensive rehab, paint and siding, emergency repair, weatherization and residential accessibility Improvements. The City also assists owners of rental property with repairs through the federally funded rental rehabilitation program. Approximately $80,000 is spent annually with a similar amount being created through the leveraging of the private funds. 3. Human Services. There are more than 30 non-profit organizations in Iowa City, Johnson County and the United Way human service network. A variety of services are provided ranging from home health care and shared housing for elderly and physically disabled residents to crisis Intervention and emergency housing placement. The City allocates more than $200,000 annually, of which $90,000 in CDBG funds are utilized, The United Way and Johnson County contribute over $1.8 million to support these agencies. These organizations are professionally staffed with individuals that are highly trained in medical, a social care, but also experienced in the development and management of a variety of other programs. Decent, safe and affordable housing is certainly a primary concern of these social service professionals for their clients. After reviewing these existing programs, I believe it is necessary to expand and better coor- dinate these programs in order to more effectively address the varied needs of low -moderate Income households in Iowa City. In evaluating the increasing needs, the federal disinvestment, and limited local reoources, I would recommend to the City Council the following initiatives which will hopefully lead to a comprehensive housing g policy for the City of Iowa City. I. CREATION OF AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING TASK FORCE i To have a successful comprehensive housing policy In any community, the financial and I i administrative cooperation of local lenders, developers, builders, community organize - tons and public officials is required, The active participation of these groups in a "Housing Task Force" would serve as a forum to review and provide recommendations with respect to these crucial community issues. The Task Force could provide direction is ;L I I r k i 3 to our community leadership as to how to better coordinate the various public and private organizations providing assistance. The development of private -public partnerships involving local lenders, developers, realtors, and contractors with non-profit organizations, local, State and federal agencies Is necessary, not only for political support but for administrative and financial contribu- tion. These private sector participants could contribute their expertise In the develop- ment, financing, and management of housing programs specific to Iowa City's needs. II, COORDINATION OF THE HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WITH THE EXISTING HUMAN SERVICES DELIVERY SYSTEM Low and moderate Income persons requiring housing assistance often have a variety of interrelated needs, such as employment, training, child-care, in-home health care and counseling services. Currently there is a well -organized and cooperative human services network into which, I believe, housing services could be readily integrated. A "case-managemenP approach to a household's needs and the expansion of neighbor- hood centered activities Instead of merely "shelter placement" may give a person or family a chance to move out of the "publicly" assisted life. Wherever practical, public assistance in housing should be viewed as a transitional rather than permanent situa- tion. III. DEVELOPING NEW CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMS Proceeding with the development of the proposed First Avenue housing project to hopefully produce six single-family homes could provide an incentive for builders to construct more affordable housing. With the virtual elimination of federal financial Incentives for the construction of low and moderate Income housing, no where is there a greater challenge to local governments. There are low Interest loans and grants available through the Iowa Finance Authority (IFA) for development costs as well as mortgage money for first-time home buyers. There are local lenders currently participat- Ing in the IFA mortgage program. A FHA mortgage could finance the sale but even more households could be Included if they qualified for the low -Interest loans that IFA provides. Cooperative programs need to be developed to assist in making housing /G3/ i i �l j ,r I� i i 4 affordable. The federal Community Re -investment Act can provide guidelines to banks concerning how they might fulfill their reinvestment obligation, with the benefits of these decisions accruing to a much needed affordable housing market. The recently approved savings and loan bail-out has specific language In the legislation requiring i expanded community Investment. The First Avenue project could also serve as a model both in construction and financing methods for other developers and builders and offer an opportunity for the Task Force to challenge our community to provide the resources for this development plan. There are builders Interested in working with the City in producing affordable (not inferior) developments. Additionally, the City, through its Housing and Inspection Services I Department, could educate and Inform potential developers and builders of the various j cost-saving development measures, including subdivision regulations, possible density bonuses as well as construction alternatives. Each of these Issues would be critical to the comprehensive review the Housing Task Force would undertake. IV. EXPANSION OF THE HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM The federally -funded housing rehabilitation programs assist low -moderate income 1 homeowners (up to 80% of median Income) in making improvements to their homes. Many households between the 80-125% median income range cannot afford con- siderable repairs to their existing homes or cannot purchase an affordable home to fix up, because the combined mortgage payments and home Improvement loan costs would make the monthly housing payments too high for their income, i I A rehab program for homeowners and potential homeowners within 80-125% of median Income could be locally financed through lender contributions, housing bond issues and i City contributions and could be established as a revolving loan fund that would be continually replenished. Being locally funded, we could set up and control the require- ments as well as the recordkeeping measures. Local lenders could provide the loan servicing, therefore, reduce City staff time Involved in such tasks. The program would be flexible and could be set up to serve existing homeowners or combined with FHANA, IFA and conventional mortgages for home purchasers. Many opportunities exist to creat locally financed and managed housing assistance programs. ®I AN i 5 V. HOUSING ADVOCACY In evaluating the need to expand housing opportunities for low and moderate income homeowners and to Integrate housing services with our community's human services organizations, we have in effect created a program of housing advocacy whereby we recognize the critical role housing plays in our community's social service support network. Through a policy of housing advocacy, we would work with lenders, developers, builders and community organizations to build effective partnerships in providing housing and related services to those In need of assistance. Additionally, a liaison would be created between federal, state and local organizations to assess programs and hopefully increase our opportunity to provide housing opportunities to low and moderate Income citizens. We would need to work toward coordinating our city planning efforts, the Department of Housing and Inspection Services, and the Department of Finance, as well as other governmental jurisdictions, to help develop an effective affordable housing program addressing (advocating) the needs of our citizens. This advocacy policy will Initially need to be carried forth through the efforts of the City staff representatives, With the upcoming retirement of the Housing Coordinator position, the time is now right to restructure and redirect our housing initiatives and better coordinate the community support services available and create a comprehensive policy. This Is not to be critical of our housing efforts or the work of our staff to date, but merely taking advantage of opportunities, addressing current community needs and redirecting our energies toward the problems created by the diminishing role of the federal government. The National League of Cities, as the Council is aware, has provided much of the data concerning housing Issues, and I believe have succinctly identified the nature of the affordable housing problem: 1. Low-income Housing Preservation. HUD projects that over next five years some 7oo,000 unit of low-income housing could be lost as rental assistance contracts expire. Given the potential for a lack of federal resources to renew these contracts, communities could face the loss of their low -Income housing stock. I I I J is I i j J` t ! I� i 0 2. Tax Policy, Since 1980 federal tax policy appears to have dominated federal housing policy. Incentives that once made affordable housing attractive to developers have all but disappeared. 3. Community and Economic Development. The CDBG program Is due to expire on September 30, 1989. With termination of Federal Revenue Sharing and Urban Development Action Grants, cities are left with only one primary community development grant program - CDBG. 4. "Summit Agreement". In April, the President and Congressional leadership announced a two-year deficit reduction agreement. This "Summit Agreement," as it has become known, puts limits on appropriations, tax and reconciliation bills for FY90. It does not make housing and community development a national priority. Housing affects so many of our community's policies and standards that it is difficult to Identify each and every Influential factor; however, we can all generally agree that safe and decent housing should be available to all citizens. The affordability of such housing is approaching a critical stage. The housing taskforce would be encouraged to deal immediately with the issue of housing for our community's most needy, however, I am sure the task force will also find Itself, over the long run, confronted with other related housing Issues. These will include the importance of housing to encourage our growing senior population to be able to maintain an Independent existence. Additionally, our neighboring communities need to be approached as to how they can share in providing housing opportunities with the necessary local public services support. This will allow persons of low and moderate Income to seek out and secure housing and other economic opportunities in these communities. These are complex Issues and the Initiation of a comprehensive housing policy closely tied to our community's social service network I believe is critical, if we are to be able to withstand the continuing decline in federal policy support in the face of a growing national need. This matter will be scheduled for an upcoming City Council Informal session, tp4-10 cc: Dept.

This report is very similar to the financial trend analysis prepared in September of 1986. This report represents eight years of historical data, the current budget, and two projection years with respect to expenditures and revenues. In that we are about to begin i preparation of the FY91 budget and in order to prepare a financial plan to satisfy the City Council's policy directives, it will be helpful to my office if we are provided with your guidance 1{ as it relates to the City's financial commitments to the operation of the transit system: j !' In this review, a rather straightforward financial trend analysis has been utilized. This analysis will hopefully enable you to review and discuss spending and revenue trends associated with transit operations and reach some conclusions as to how we can finance a level of transit service acceptable to the public within available resources. In making the financial projections, It is assumed that the level of services would remain substantially unchanged unless we know specifically of an upcoming state or federal policy change which could significantly alter our ti program of service. At the time of preparation of this report, we were hoping to be able to indicate the ridership decline had ended. We are at this time unable to predict with any certainty that ridership has, in fact, reached a point where further declines would not occur. You will note from the ridership figures that we may be approaching a point of leveling off. Bus passengers have declined from 2,303,681 in FY82 to 1,353,157 in FY89, During the same period of time, our more specialized transportation services, SEATS, and taxi service have Increased ridership from 21,361 to 44,719 during the same period. 1 /G 3.z 7. As you review this information, please keep in mind we are into the third year of an informal three-year policy of determining if Increased marketing efforts could, at the very least, stabilize our ridership figures. Unfortunately, during that time, the Federal Government has continued 1 to send signals of deeper cuts in transit subsidization particularly as they relate to capital acquisition. I -I ., The attached analysis of expenditures, revenue and ridership are based on information ii provided from the City's budget files. Additionally, to assist you in your policy analysis, we ,. have provided a number of indicators or measurements to demonstrate trends to assist in your review. f0 Labor. (Note Exhibit 1 starting on page 5.) This component of the expenditure program is likely to continue to Increase if measured against economic trends, inflation, consumer price index, and other factors directly associated with collective bargaining. It is likely that labor will generally run close to the overall cost of living trends; however, as a percentage of the operating budget, It remains relatively consistent. The FY90 budget indicated that labor and benefits would be approximately 53.6% of expenditures for transit operations. The eight year historical average for labor and benefits as a proportion of expenditures is 55.9%. We make the assumption that labor and benefits should grow at an annual rate of approximately 5%. Equipment Maintenance, (Note Exhibit 1 starting on page 5,) The cost of maintaining the transit fleet became a cause of concern a number of years ago, particularly due to dramatic Increases in costs in FY86. The expenditures for equipment maintenance have been reworked and we are able to demonstrate stability in the cost of our equipment maintenance. The Introduction of several new buses Into our fleet and the reduction of our total number of units has also attributed to these savings. Equipment maintenance is a closely scrutinized expense and therefore we feel comfortable with the projections, assuming a continuing equipment replacement program, the equipment maintenance expenses should run fairly constant in the near term. There is, however, a serious concern with respect to the potential for dramatic fluctuation in the price of fuel. We have had experience where fuel was as low as 390 a gallon to as high as 90+0 a gallon, Our FY90 budget reflects a cost of 900 per gallon. In that the transit system uses an estimated 113,000 gallons of fuel per year, you can appreciate the fact that this item alone, again beyond your direct policy control, can have a dramatic effect upon the costs of our transit service. Additionally, as the Federal Government moves to collect i I -I :J u I II ; ' i! r I Labor. (Note Exhibit 1 starting on page 5.)

Additionally, as the Federal Government moves to collect i I -I I II ; ' j I I 1 i I r federal taxes from municipalities with respect to fuel sources, this will simply exacerbate the problem of our ability to manage our fuel costs. Little relief appears to be in sight. i r In combination, labor and equipment maintenance account for 82.1% of the operating budget , for FY89. The eight year average is 87.5%. #rr F We have included numerous financial and ridership representations which record and project I i the trends in the transit system's financial condition, Not noted directly, but part of the financial considerations in the three-year financial plan, is the fact that in FY94, three buses are due for i•i replacement and in FY96, ten buses are due to be replaced, These are $600,000 and W, $2,000,000 capital acquisitions and in order to begin to set aside the appropriate replacement -; revenues, funds have been incorporated in the amended financial plan. This setaside assumes the continuation of the 80/20 federal/local capital assistance program. f Revenues for transit as shown in the exhibit starting on page 9 are basically two groups: ! operating revenues, which are fares, interest income, and miscellaneous Income, and non- operating revenues, which involve the subsidies and other assistance provided from local (� government property taxes, contracts with other Jurisdictions, and state and federal aid. The I analysis demonstrates a declining portion of operating revenue, although above national averages, and increasing property tax and related local support. State and federal operating I aid has remained relatively constant. Please note that Federal Revenue Sharing, although federal aid, was considered as a local resource due to the financial flexibility that was afforded f the City Council in distributing these monies. In FY82, farebox or operating revenues I j` amounted to 46.7% and non-operating to 53.3%. In FY89, the operating revenues had declined �. to 30.8% and non-operating increasing to 69.2%. Property taxes, both general and the transit I levy commitments, have Increased from FY82 to FY89 from $95,617 to $1,024,445. The expenditure analysis (page 12) summarizes the costs per passenger. As you will note with the declining bus ridership, the cost per passenger has Increased substantially from $.65 in FY82 to $1.26 in FY69. The cost per SEATS/tax[ passenger has Increased from $2.52 to $3.03 during the same period. The Increase in the property tax share of the cost for operating the transit system is of significant concern. Exhibit 6 on page 22 demonstrates the impact of the property tax as the i ' primary source of revenue for our transit system. Proportionately speaking, the FY82 financial L 3 /G3z r r commitment from the general purpose levy amounted to 1.6% of general taxes levied. By ! I FY89, that had increased to 4.1% with our projections showing an increase to 8.1% by FY92. j I Simply taken, the property tax commitment to the operations of the transit system have grown significantly and disproportionately to the commitment of property tax to the operation of other government services. The concern is these funds work directly against a state -Imposed $8.10 levy maximum and therefore it can be interpreted that if the growth were to continue, a position could be reached in the future whereby other services and their property tax needs would be In direct competition with the increasing transit subsidies. You will note that the share i r property tax by the representative services as shown on the exhibit on page 26 demonstrates f j 14 relative consistency throughout the historical and budgetary 9 ry projections shown in this report. The primary financial concerns from this report are as follows: �+ 1 • The ability of the City to provide e for the long-term financial health of its transit system. 2. The ability to meet capital needs in the face of declining financial interest on the part of the federal government with respect to its participation in the purchase of capital equipment. 3. The utilization of a limited tax ability while transit subsidies grow disproportionately to other City services. There are many variables with respect to how you can measure the financial condition of a I� city's transit operations. Hopefully, this report will provide you with sufficient documentation to assist in your policy deliberation. Please feel free to request further elaboration on these financial statements as well as any other factors pertinent to your respective Interest In measuring the transit system and Its financial health, This matter will be scheduled for an upcoming City Council Informal session. -I cc: Dept.

Z�f I September 7, 1989 Mr. Duane Rohovit P.O. Box 720 Iowa State Bank Building, Suite 311 Iowa City, Iowa 52244 Dear Mr. Rohovit: CITY OF IOWA CITY In response to your August 31 letter concerning the picketing at Emma Goldman Clinic, I am sure you can appreciate the fact that we work to assure adequate opportunities for all responsible groups to conduct their First Amendment rights and at the same time we do our best to assure the safety and freedom to move about for all our citizens. With emotional issues we must make an extra effort to assure not only that individuals and groups may express their views in utilizing the public right-of-way, but additionally assure it is done in a responsible fashion. I have researched the matter concerning the arrest of the gentleman who allegedly trespassed on the Emma Goldman Clinic property on Tuesday. August 29. 1 am unaware of the opinions you express about other members of the Defenders of Life group, but I am aware that Mr. Dix appears to have acted on his own initiative. While his alleged actions could be credited to the group picketing at that time, it is difficult for me as the responsible authority in issuing right- of-way use permits to assume this instance is in any way a recognition of overall general conduct of the group, Defenders of Life. I am sure you can further appreciate that we receive complaints from individuals on both sides of this issue as to the conduct of each other. We will continue to issue permits to those parties wishing to conduct peaceful picketing. The permits will be more limited for both parties in that we are experiencing an increased frequency of complaint about their respective conduct. If it is clear that a group or an individual blatantly abuses the right-of-way usage permitting process of the City government, I assure you we will take whatever action necessary within the law to reduce the opportunities for those individuals to disrupt the freedom of others through the use of the public right-of-way.

Washington St. Iowa City, Iowa 52240 RE: Picketing at The Emma Goldman Clinic Dear Mr. Atkinst I am writing on behalf of my clients, The Emma Goldman Clinic. For some time now the clinic has been Picketed by.members of Defenders For Life, a group apparently organized by Carolyn Fordyce., The clinic understands the First Amendment Rights of persons to peaceably present their views. However, this particular group of people have indicated both in the press and by their actions that they no longer wish to peaceably exercise their First Amendment Rights. On Tuesday, August 29, 1989, a member of the Defenders For Life group trespassed on clinic property and blocked clinic doors causing access in and out of the building to be cut off creating a potential hazard and interfering with the patients who were using the clinic. This person had to.be arrested by police officers'in order to remove himself from the clinic property. Ms. Fordyce and other members of Defenders For Life encouraged and supported their member's action. Members of Defenders For Life and others have continued to impede and harass patients seeking health care at the clinic. We are asking that the City of Iowa City refuse to grant Carolyn Fordyce or other members of Defenders For Life any further permits to picket on the property of The Emma Goldman Clinic. It is clear from their words and deeds that they no longer intend to peaceably demonstrate as allowed under the First �`4 I A Amendment to the United States Constitution. Instead they Intend to trespass, harass, and intimidate patients and staff of the clinic. Clearly, the Iowa City Ordinance does not allow such conduct and permits should f not be issued to groups who engage in such behavior. i If you wish any further documentation of the claims made in this letter or have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Sing ly, ne Rohovit Date To City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM September 6, 1989 Housing Commission From: City Manager Re: Review of Rehabilitation Program As you will recall, in July of 1988 a request was made to the Commission to amend your policies with respect to the review of each and every housing rehabilitation project over $5,000. At that time, we advised it was our opinion that housing rehab projects were so restricted by federal and City guidelines it was not neces- sary for the Commission to require their approval/disapproval of these applica- tions. Additionally, it was felt the review process was overly time consuming. We recently concluded a HUD review of our operating programs and policies which Included the housing rehabilitation program. They have, following my exit interview with the HUD representatives, again directed that this policy on the part of the Housing Commission be amended. They have gone so far as to make note of this in our annual audit review, copy attached. As I am sure you can appreciate the fact, we take pride in our ability to satisfy state and federal regulations with respect to the operations of the many programs which are delegated to us and a HUD audit finding is, at the very least, a managerial disappointment. I would again ask for your support so I may recommend officially to the City Council an amendment to your policies with respect to the review of the housing rehabilitation programs. If you feel It would be helpful, I would be happy to attend an upcoming meeting. Please let me know. cc: City Council Marianne Milkman Don Schmelser Doug Boothroy bj/pct If i i t 4 MONITORING SUMMARY Iowa City, Iowa May 16-19, 1989 PROGRAM PROGRESS During the period of January 1, 1989, through May 19, 1989, the City had $1,072,010 of Entitlement Grant funds available for use. This figure consisted •of 'the City's fiscal year (FY) 1989 grant award of $607,000 and $465,010 of grant funds carried over from the, prior program year. As of the date of our visit, the City had expended $348,540. The most significant accomplishment is the completion of the Benton Creek Storm Sewer project which was delayed for two years. Other major accomplishments include housing rehabilitation and Hillcrest Family Services renovation. Overall, progress is acceptable considering that $5,442,512 (89 percent) of the .cumulative Entitlement amount has been drawn down from the Letter of Credit. ELIGIBILITY AND COMPLIANCE WITH NATIONAL OBJECTIVES The following FY 1988 and 1989 projects were reviewed for compliancewith the subject criteria: Benton Creek Storm Sewer, Handicare Park, Housing Rehabilitation, Elderly Services Agency, Hillcrest Family Services Renovation, and Youth Homes Acquisition. An on-site review as well as documentation maintained in the files supports that these activities meet the requirements of 24 CFR 570.208(a) and (b). Elderly Services Agency carries out the Small Repair Program for low- income, elderly, and handicapped persons. Each file reviewed contained the requiredincome verification.. In the FY 1988 Grantee Performance Report (CPA), the City claimed that Ralston Creek Redevelopment and Blackhawk Mini Park addressed the National Objective of elimination of slums and blight in an urban renewal area. Urban renewal plans including maps were reviewed and we conclude that these activities meet the requirements of 24 CFA 570.208(b)(3). All other FY 1989 activity files were reviewed, and based on documentation contained therein, each activity either benefits low/moderate income persons or aids in the elimination of slums/blight. Technical assistance was provided in the area of properly completing the Activity Summary (HUD -4949.2) of the GPA, including activity classification and the appropriate letter designation for compliance with National Objectives. i it i ,I i 4 MONITORING SUMMARY Iowa City, Iowa May 16-19, 1989 PROGRAM PROGRESS During the period of January 1, 1989, through May 19, 1989, the City had $1,072,010 of Entitlement Grant funds available for use.

We note that agreements with agencies were amended to include the frequency and method of payment. Our review concludes that payments are being made on a reimbursable basis, and source documentation is adequate to support payments. Subrecipients: One subrecipient, Elderly Services Agency, was reviewed on-site for compliance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-110, Management Systems and Procurement Procedures. No irregularities were found. Source documentation to support payments is excellent. MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE Community Development staff is to be commended and congratulated for their efforts in achieving well over 200 percent of the City's suggested target of $22,000 through the third quarter. We are convinced that if it was not for dedication and perseverence of staff, this target could not have been achieved. Again, congratulations. HOUSING REHABILITATION The purpose of the monitoring was to assess the City's administration of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Rental Rehabilitation (RR), and the Section 312 Programs. The review covered three main areas: overall program management, file reviews, and on-site inspections of work in progress and/or completed. Overall Program Management: The City has the administrative capability to carry out the programs necessary to achieve its property rehabilitation goals. All programs reviewed are in compliance with Federal and local regulations and standards except for the two findings noted on page 6. Staff requested that we review this area and make recommendations as to how they can meet the needs and demands for rehabilitation assistance as well as keep up with the volume of paperwork presently required to administer the programs. While the paperwork required for compliance with Federal regulations will remain substantially as -is, we again. make the.. following recommendations: 1. Elimination of the time-consuming and burdensome Drocess of having Ing commission review all applications for rehabilitation V e, under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) which exceed $5,000. 'c. �iI 1'. 2. 3 Please__provide this office in writing how the City intends to address this concern Utilization of a computer to produce deficiency lists, work write- ups, cost estimates, and bid documents. Initially there would be "down-time" while the specifications, costs, format, etc., are designed and loaded. In the long run, however. considerable time savings would accrue as the Rehabilitation Technicians could input their inspections directly into the coumputer producing both the cost estimates and bid documents. In order to determine exactly what the City needs in the way of specification writing software, it is recommended the City contact Ms. Gaye Foster, Executive Director of the Davenport, Iowa, Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) organization. This NH5 has developed a specifications writing program which plays on IBM/IBM compatible hardware and has sold it to several of our Cities. The cost for the program is in the neighborhood of $150-200. From this, the City can determine if this simple program is sufficient for its needs or if a more sophisticated system should ultimately be purchased. The initial outlay for this small program is minimal and leaves the City in the position of being able to purchase a different program if necessary. Ms. Foster can be reached at 319/324-1556. �E i j i While production has increaned because the Rehabilitation Technician previous part-time is now a full-time employee, the needs and demands for assistance under the specialistsworkingvarious programs have these at full but toutdistancing Y. falling further are their capacity to II (( deliver.

The first arriving engine company determined the "smell" was not smoke but was instead, a chemical smell. The Incident Commander on scene ordered an evacuation and called for the Johnson County Hazardous Materials Team. The Hazardous Materials Team was able to identify the chemical and stabilize the situation. The chemical released was a fumigant used in the greenhouse located on the top floor of the east wing of the building. There were no serious injuries or illness caused by the release.

The funds were made available through the Hunger Prevention Act of 1988 and are to be used for support costs in FLP operation. This grant will make it possible to provide a monthly stipend of $100.00 during 1990 to the next FLP director. Responsibilities include writing this newsletter, scheduling teams and coordination of donations and supplies. It could be done mostly from home and would be an opportunity to provide a much needed service and supplement a household income. Those of you who have been mulling this over in the back of your minds, now is the time to mull it over in the front of your minds. _ "Call us.... don't be afraid, you can call ,us ... maybe it's late but just call us..."
